Our 50th episode, we were a little down. We'll get to that in a little bit of why we were down on our 50th episode and why we did questions. We were supposed to do something big and record. And then Jeff got some not-so-great news at his work. So that's why we did the questions last episode. But it was to all about you all. That's why no, it was a good way to celebrate 50. So thank you. We got so much support on that. And yeah, if you listened really closely to last week's episode, I kind of made some innuendos towards me being sad or me crying all weekend. And we're about to tell you why. Yeah, I bought Jeff an expensive bottle of repressato because he loved that. And I said, drink up. You can cry all weekend. You can be depressed. Come Monday, you lift your head up and you get your shit together. And have and how you handled it. But I will let you take over because it is something that happened to you. Right. And people listening, you all already know what it is. I've posted it on my Instagram. Right. And we've posted it on our show today, Daily Blast Live. So this is Monday that we're filming this and we officially got the the word out today, and that's why we're sharing it with you guys, even though this is airing Wednesday. But yeah, they decided to not renew Daily Blast Live, and they canceled it unexpectedly. I don't know that side of the business, per se, but I do know we're doing a great job, and our numbers were up in certain markets. We're number one in Denver. I don't know how I was doing all over the rest of the country. But it's just sometimes companies part ways, you know, for whatever reason they need to. But the good news is they gave us at the end of this season, which is September 6th. So we'll get paid and have benefits in all that through, you know, for the next couple of weeks into the, you know, a couple of months, which, you know, kind of them in generous because a lot of shows when they end, they say, hey guys, we're canceling you. It's over Monday. So for them to give us that grace was really sweet, but we'll kind of walk you guys through what happened and it's, I was super, super sad. The last time we did this episode, I, the 50th with all the balloons and celebrations. I was, it was a day after I found out, I found out on that Thursday, and then we recorded on that. We were supposed to record that Thursday, but you found out I wish they would have waited till the next week and it wasn't Father's Day because his whole Father's Day was ruined. And I kept posting stuff on my Instagram about us. I was kind of like a hit but I don't think anybody got it. I was like, oh, celebrating you all weekend because you cried all weekend. I did. I did a lot of cry. I was very emotional. But Jordan, I got to say was you were a trooper. All those positive things I've told you over years and I've even shared on this podcast. It now is the time to come into play. And I think it's important. Well, first off, first off, I think it's important to say what a G you were. Because you really lifted my spirits when I was in dark place. I wasn't doing anything drastic or, but I was just sad. And the first thing I thought about was my kids. And I don't want to look at Jordan because I've done enough crying already

But that's what worries me the most is my kids and that they're gonna be safe and I guess I'm gonna cry but yeah my family reached out and they just were so great my great friends reached out We're so great and Jordan especially was like just straight up so supportive just on me, getting on it, don't let me get too far down into that bottle, even though I did, I did a lot too much drinking, and that's okay when you get some bad news, but you got a bounce back and I think I'm on that path, but still things are, it's so fresh and new that it's, it's hard to wrap your head around,

especially after seven years and uprooting everybody to come to Denver, which I really, really love. And that's another thing. I don't want to leave Colorado. And our kids, by the way, do not know what's going on. Yeah. Obviously they're young. And I've talked to Lawson just kind of hitting around. What if we did have to move? And he said, I like my room.

I like my school and I like my friends.

And he said, I like my room. I like my school and I like my friends. And he started crying. And he goes, you guys can go. I'm gonna stay here. And it just made me so sad. And we have to like give our next door neighbors. I mean, they just sat, our next door neighbor just sat with Jeff, why you cried and just listened to Just listen to you get it all out And yeah my friend you know what you really find out who's important and what's important When you go through something it's it's traumatic for me I know maybe people at home have lost their jobs, but this has been my whole life to get to Where I am right now. So it is devastating news. I do have to get big at some point and Understand that these things happen, you know, maybe everything happens for a reason But it does put in the perspective in your life What's important and who's important all the drama and bullshit that's going on maybe in your own life or even in the world if you spend too much time on social media, that doesn't matter. None of that stuff matters. What's important really is your family and your friends and you know if your faith in God is there too. That's something else I have been leaning on a lot lately. So not saying you have to do all the things that I do, but everyone grieves different. This is a loss, but it's not the end.

And I think it might be perhaps. I have been leaning on a lot lately. So not saying you have to do all the things that I do, but everyone grieves different.

This is a loss, but it's not the end. And I think it might be perhaps a new beginning. And I don't think I have a choice at this point. I got to make a new beginning, whether it's here or somewhere else, hopefully it's still in Denver. But like I said, it's fresh and all the hosts on the show have been so great, it even brought us closer.

We are already a family.

And everybody even behind the scenes, you know,

it's such a special place to work. And I've been to other, you know, little things whether I'm making appearance on there or I work there. And it's hard to find a community like ours because a lot of us came to Denver specifically for this job. Well, I think what makes it even more sad is when we moved here, Sam Shocker, who is one of the main hosts on there, she's a producer, correct? Yeah, she helped create the show. She helped create DailyBoss Live if you don't know. And she had just had her daughter Sophie. And Lawson was when we moved to Denver, Lawson wasn't even walking yet. And I remember I needed to go to like a couple of appointments in Sam had a nanny and would be like, just bring Lawson over, it's fine. And I used to meet Sam's nanny at the park and we would just talk because we were all new to Denver, Sam would always invite us to her house. She was so welcoming. When we first, we used to go to this Mexican restaurant, Hossiando with Tori and her husband, and we were all getting to know each other and Lawson was in a high chair and today I haven't been emotional about it but today I I think it's more so because I know I have to get big for Jeff and I can't let him be down and I can't let my kids be down so I have to be there them. But today was the first time I got emotional because I went to daily blast live. And everybody's just, I mean, so upset about where are we gonna go next? Nobody wants to leave Denver. And they're just put on such a good face. And you walk in and everybody's all smiles. And today I got so sad. Lawson was sitting at the desk with Sam and he was just a baby in that studio when we when Jeff started season one. And I always thought Lawson would be in high school when DBL would probably go off air and like run its course. So that I like got my car and I got emotional and then I was like, I can't think about it. Because just like Erica and Owl and Tori and Sam and everyone else there, they treat you like family. Everyone is just loyal and even though you all fight on there and

You put your card out. You know how hard it is to go on national

Television and talk about politics and then have people come at you and write me in comments and lay your card out there and your

emotions and

You that's what every single one of you did. Whether you disagreed, you fought, people think you and Tori ate each other, you don't. If you might have your disagreements, it's great for TV, but you both wear your heart on your sleeve and then when y'all are done, you're hugging each other and you love her and you respect her. And it's okay. And I feel like you all, and I'm not just saying this because we're married, you all were honest. Like people on TV, not just saying stuff, you were the voice for the people that couldn't, that don't have a voice. You were speaking for other people who don't say anything. they're like, how you agree with that guy? When your Balenciaga video went viral, you think other people on Hollywood were saying anything against Balenciaga? No, you were like, that's disgusting. That ad that ran through. And it's like moments like that. Like you are, you guys had something special and you had that chemistry and what sad is the band is breaking up. And another person too, I have so much respect for is Jeff's boss Bert who we will have on. And he knows how to run shows and he has turned DBL around and made DBL what it is today. And he works so hard. And it's like you guys put in seven years all that time and energy and just in a second because they go corporate corporate. Okay. I got to watch what I say here. I don't want to say the wrong thing and get in trouble because of corporate everything is It's gone right well. Let's continue conversation. Let's take a quick break and then we come back. We'll just keep going I have been taking my AG one for six months now. I can't believe that yeah I can tell when I don't take my AG one and I I don't know what it is. It's like a feeling. I'm like, I miss my AG1 this morning, and I have to take it because it supports my immune system. I've been taking AG1 for over a year now, and it's become habitual. It's the first thing I do every single morning, and it's so important to me that the supplements I take are of the highest quality, And that's why I've been taking AG1, like I said, for over a year and I've been drinking AG1. AG1, too, is researched and developed by an in-house team of scientists, doctors, and nutritionists with decades of experience in their respective fields. Yeah, it's cut my supplements down to a quarter. I really just lean on AG1 now. Those are the vitamins that I need and the nutrients that I need to start my day. AG1's team relies on expert lead scientific research, resourcing ingredients for potency and purity, replacing multiple health supplements like multivitamins, digestive aids, immune support, and more in just one simple scoop. Yeah, and that's why I love AG1. And I gotta tell you, shout out to the packaging. If you don't feel important to start your day, AG1 will make you feel important. Because from the bottle to the scuba, to the shaker, it all makes you feel like you're important. And that's what's more important. It's so good. And two, zinc always makes my stomach feel icky. And the AG1 has vitamin C and zinc to support your immune system. And I never, I can drink it on an empty stomach. And I never feel that icky feeling in my stomach. So if you want to replace your multivitamin or more, start with AG1.

That's M-E-S-S and that's drinkag1.com slash together mess you got to check it out. Welcome back. We'll pick up where we left off yeah yeah I mean even we've been through you know the fight of us are still there just jumping right back into the conversation talking about the host but there was a was a host that came and went, and producers that came and went, and the original people who started the show and got off the ground, which is no easy feat either. You know, you kind of learn as you go, and we had some really rough days over there, you know, putting that together. But I- So people don't make it past season. I know, I know. And you guys are going out. Number one, you have your viewership.

Number one, you have your viewership number one. And you need to you need to be happy about that. I know it. I know it's got to be hard. But keep going. I'm sorry. Well, I was just going to say is like, you know, there's so many people that aren't there anymore, that had a hand in making the show what it is, right? But the people who have been there all seven years, which there is still a lot of us, and I don't want to go through all the names, but their faces are flashing in my head right now. But yeah, I mean, we were putting in 10, 12, 14 hour days in the beginning, you know, and we got it to

where we were. And to be honest with you, not, you know, not to point the finger at anywhere of why the show is going off the air, I take a little responsibility in myself that I got too comfortable, you know, I've been saying on this show that I want to start different things and then I want to do different things and I just got comfortable.

I'd be done in the afternoon and then, you know,

do what I needed to start different things and then I want to do different things. And I just got comfortable. I'd be done any afternoon and then, you know, do what I needed to do other than keep driving myself to that next level. And I think that's where I'm kind of the fighting with right now. Because to be honest with you, when I first found out, I'll be honest with the audience too. My first, my mind is like I'm 22 years old living in California and I'm like, oh, I'll just do construction or manual labor. And I'm like, traitor Joe seems like a really nice place. You know, and those were legit thoughts in my head. And Jordan had almost slapped me in the face and be like, you were just on a national show for seven years. I just saw you resume. I'm not trying to pat myself on the back here. I'm saying, I need to get myself in a place where I know I can still do this. You know, I've kind of lost that drive because I got too comfortable, and it's tough to get that back. But I think once the initial shock wears off, my mind, well, I just need to get a couple W's, you know, a couple positive things. And the audience has been amazing. You, I said, have been by far the most. All of y'all have been so, have y'all been DMing me? Because there's a petition that was started to try to save Daily Blast Live. And I'll put the link on my Instagram today. I'll make sure I do that. listening and it could possibly help or it might not, but who knows? Because a lot of people, I mean, I feel bad one of the bosses moved his whole family. They just came on moving truck. Yeah, last week. Last week on moving trucks. And I'm like, wow. Yeah. So it was a shock. And again, I can't get into the other side

of the business of it all, but I know we, you know,
