From real estate to real life and everything in between . The Brad Wiseman Show and now your host , brad Wiseman .
All right , here we are . Here we are , the 200th episode . What an amazing celebration I am so excited for tonight . I can't believe that I've been doing this for 200 episodes . I want to thank everybody for supporting the show . For the sponsors we have Comfort Pro as a sponsor here .
We have First Response Contracting , and the first guest on the 200th episode is going to be the guest that was on here first Yippee , justin Perrella . How are you doing , man ?
I'm good man , Congratulations .
So you do know you were the ultimate guinea pig , yeah .
Well , and actually um , the first time we came on , I think together it was just radio , right it was just on , just audio just audio and , uh , people couldn't see really what we were doing .
But I'll never forget the first time I came in , because I actually brought a little prop here , because this is what I was wearing , ladies and gentlemen , something similar .
This is so true , it was a princess headphone .
It was From his daughters , from Frozen .
That's right , it was from Frozen and what's really funny about that ? I didn't have a second headphone set . So I went into my daughter's room and found this headset and I was like you know , this will work , this will work Until it went on .
Hey , maybe I'll bring those back , you don't know there you go man , I might bring them back I can't give them to either of my neighbors .
Well , it's funny , I still have those somewhere around here , I think they're in the studio , have brought them out for you to wear . Maybe I'll get somebody else to wear those tonight . So you know what's funny , I think about this , which is pretty interesting , is that you got a call from me .
This is during covet , by the way , the first show was april 13th 2020 . That was the very first show , and I called you and I'm like uh justin , you know , I just bought this uh , this podcast stuff . Would you willing ? Would you be willing to be the first , first uh guest ? And he like , yeah , no problem . Anyway , it's funny .
What the hell else are you going to do it ?
was COVID . Nothing Like really I was happy to get out .
Yeah , you're like , let me do something , you know , so that was just audio , it was on the phone , oh , that's right . And then , when I actually was able to do face-to-face , that it's so much different with this right here , oh , my gosh , so much different .
And uh , and I just want to say , you know , thanks for for taking a chance on , on this , uh , on the show and , and you also , you , you also are a lender . You were on here as a lender . Uh , you're a guest . Many times .
Yeah , we , um , we had , we had it going changing . Then , yeah , you know , and I feel like we're we're coming out of that rut . Yeah , you know , yeah , and we're starting to pick up some momentum . So it's been good . But , yeah , I was so happy to do it . We had been friends for a long time .
Yeah , but when you called , I was I was looking for something that was cool like that , and you , you provided it . It was . It was wonderful . I'm so happy for you , man .
I can't believe it's 200 episodes . Right , it is insane . I knew you would do it .
I knew you would catch that momentum , but to this level that's impressive , man .
Congratulations . Thank you , I appreciate it . So I asked everybody to have a question for me because I'm in the hot seat tonight . A little bit on this whole thing .
So do you have a estate in you or the brad weisman show ?
that's right , you were on the brad weisman or the real estate news show first , just real estate .
Yeah , yeah , absolutely . Where's brad going , where's ?
you know , it's funny . Somebody just asked that . They've asked that a couple times it's as far as I can go . Yeah , you know , uh . Wayne dyer said one time if you ask a tree how tall will it grow , and the tree will say if the tree could talk , of course , the tree will say as high as I can .
Wow , there's no distance , there's no level there , there's no , there's no plateau . It's it's to go as far as you can . I really enjoy doing this . Uh , it's something that brings out the entertainment side of me that I've always had near Uh and it . I just love it . I love talking to people .
I also said the other day what's interesting too is they said well , how do you know who you want to talk to ? And I said you know what it's like going into a bar ? Like I wish I could go into a bar , which I can , uh , but I wish . I bricklayer , I'm a , I work for NASA . I work because I'm the kind of person that goes . You know what ?
I want to talk to that person .
I want to know everybody .
I want to know everybody and what they do , and that's why I changed it to the Brad Wiseman show .
And that's what I love about it , that you evolved into that , because there are some and listen . Everything comes down to real estate . I mean of course you know there's say it . I mean , of course , you know there's there's commonality in all of that .
But yeah , you're , you're interested in them and you want to know more about what they do and what makes them tick and what makes them successful , which is what helps everybody else that you're interviewing Absolutely Well .
You know what . We're going to kick you out . No , yeah , we got a bunch of guests tonight , just so you know . We have a ton of guests . The next guest coming up is Eric Weeknett . He's now our sheriff . You're going to have to let him sit there , all right .
So you'll have to get up . Thanks , guys .
You know , I don't think Justin wants to leave . I can see how this works . By the way . We got a great shot of somebody's butt right now , but no , there is a camera that's on the staging area for the show and right now they it is live on on that staging area . I see that kevin timishanko finally showed up , which is good .
Okay , eric , weak necked , how you doing , buddy ?
I'm doing really good , how you doing . I'm doing great man doing really well .
That's awesome so thanks for coming . Yeah , thanks , man . 200 episodes , that's amazing . You were on one or two at least one .
I was on one , uh , the beginning of the year . Yeah , and I was on one of your older shows way back when you were in a different building yes you didn't have much of a view . Yep , looked out at some grass bank or something yeah , yeah , yeah , absolutely .
Oh , that was a long time ago . Wow , that was on the . That was on the show called how you show up . How you show up . Yeah , you're exactly right . You , I forgot you're on there . So you , you're the sheriff of the county . I am , but not for long .
Hopefully not for long .
Hopefully not for long . No , now that doesn't sound right , you don't , no ?
What are you doing right now ? Tell us what you're doing . Get a little closer to the microphone so we can hear you better . I'm actually in the state rep race for the 5th Legislative District of Pennsylvania Awesome . And I'm up on the election November 5th Awesome .
Really looking forward to it yeah .
Big district . It goes from Bethel all the way over to Wummelsdorf , all the Heidelbergs , Honolani , Byrne Township .
Wow , it is a big district , it is huge .
But not as big as the County of Berks .
No , not as big as that , that's right .
So you actually you cover more area right now and it's going to cut down a little bit , but the downside is you have to run every two years .
Yeah , so that you're going to have to run every two years as sheriff , you're every four , every four . Okay , that's a lot , that's a lot , that's a lot of running , because as soon as you win , you're back in again trying to win . Basically , yeah , work a year campaigning .
You're working your campaign . I'm really looking forward to it . I really love the election process . You get out , you get to meet people you you know , ask for their vote . You get to hear what their concerns are , and I actually love it . People do have a little weird because of that .
Well , you are definitely a little weird because of that Cause most people are like get me the hell out of politics . You know , especially right now , with as tensions as it is nobody wants to talk about politics , but you're here actually too , because you're a good friend and that's that's the reason that you're here and also a client .
I sold you a house or two or something like that , a couple of houses .
I think we , you , you sold one for us yeah , and then we bought yeah , absolutely Really cool , very cool .
But I hate to tell you this . My wife said we are never moving again . Ah , damn it .
That's not the words you know my kids have to go to college .
You know right , I know what the hell I'm trying oh my god she's very happy with the last house that you sold us oh , that's a nice house , really nice .
Once you get a pool , you're not gonna , you're not selling , absolutely it's amazing yeah , I clean it , I don't use it .
Do you have any questions for me ? I have a question for you . Yeah , are you upset that your son is more tech savvy than you are because he got the TVs working in there ? You're kidding me . No , it's all on , everyone's watching .
Oh , that's hilarious . Carson did that , absolutely . Wow Well we're going to have him on later so he can explain to us how we did that .
Well , you won't understand . He told me I didn't understand . You know what's ?
really funny . Craig Stonehall is coming on next , so the IT guy must've been training my son .
Maybe or maybe your son can give him some lessons .
That could be good , that could be good . I don't know , we'll see . We'll see . Well , craig should be coming in here soon , so thank you so much for being here .

We've known each other for a while 25 years , 25 years you had your own podcast . I did . I finally shut it down .
Isn't it funny how many episodes we did 80 , 80, . You know that's 87 way , way over the norm . I was told by um Justin Shank , who has done a gazillion uh podcasts , he was invited to come . He couldn't make it tonight , um , but he said to me that if you go over seven , you're actually , if you go over seven podcasts you're actually doing really well .
He said , if you get over a hundred , then then you're pretty much in the realm that you should be able to keep getting more and more listeners .
Well , and that's why Gary Vee said a hundred , because he said it's a hundred , that's the spot . That's the spot , and you're going to make it Yep , absolutely , absolutely . No , I got to the point where I was like I don't know why I'm still doing this you know , and I I've been Then .
Then you sit there and go well , why not ? You know , for me it was , it was a why not ? Plus , you know , hugo , begged me to keep doing it , you know , as would have . Is that true , hugo ? No he wishes I would quit tomorrow . Actually he's like yeah , 200th episode , we're done . Yeah , okay , we're done .
No , my problem is it's your fault . I discovered flying .
You just start with that . A good thing to do a little bit more dangerous than podcasting only so much time in the day .
That's right , so true nice well , thanks for coming out .
Do you have anything you want to ask me ?
yeah , what ? When are you going to bring back the flock of seagull ? Haircut the fuck I want to see no when ?
I'll tell you . When you mean , like the one on the wall , that was not quite flock of seagulls , but I , there was a flock of seagulls haircut at one point . Oh , it'd be glorious . Yeah , it would be . You know , the problem is I'd have to do hair plug for men Do it . Yeah , that's , that's what I'm gonna have to do .
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to get hair from Hugo's head and I'm going to plug it in my head . How's that All right ? We're going to have to say , uh , say goodbye , I love you , buddy .

And did you notice all the money that I have now ? Now you're gonna go , you're gonna want to be your own podcast .
Now you see all this money hanging out right , that's the way how you doing . You gotta get up , right up on that microphone there how about that ? so I've known michelle for a very , very , very , very long time 30 years , something like that , probably . At least , at least it's been a long time . Yeah , so I actually sang at her wedding a long time ago .
We've been working together many times throughout the years and just a good friend . We did together many times throughout the years and , um , just a good friend . We did a sailing trip with a bunch of friends together in the british virgin islands , which was fun . A lot of history here , a lot of history , um .
But what I want to talk to you about is you have you've been doing business for a long time and I just want to quickly say that that you do such a great job , like you are on top of your game always in this business for the past 37 , 37 years in , and that's hard to do . And I want to also say that now you're doing this thing which I had you on .
I want to have you come back . It's called Beyond the Script and we did a show for that , which everybody should find it . It's a really good show . Are you going to be doing more of that , like more of the coming up with , like classes and coaching ? I have them .
I have the curriculums and stuff like that . I guess I haven't really tried to figure out how to market it and to put myself in a position where that becomes more forefront .
Yeah , yeah Got it Got it .
I haven't done it . Yeah , I have the curriculums written and done , but trying to figure out how to do it , how to really do it , do it right .
So , what's the secret to being in the business that long ?
Oh , my goodness .
What's the secret ? Like ? What is it that ? What ? What makes it happen ? Relationships ?
Well , putting my clients first , Okay Good , deciding to be the best real try could be every day Awesome , whatever came of that day as far as productivity came . But it was all about answering all the calls and just doing the best I could and and forgetting about the money .
Yeah , so you mean like this stuff here , forgetting about the money which ?
a lot of times in sales . A lot of times in sales , it's tough to do . It's amazing , right ? It was very hard for me to do at the beginning . I almost stopped selling real estate . Now I can't imagine what else I would have done .
Wow , so so you have a question for me .
Well , I was wondering oh boy , here we go Well . A couple of things .
Yeah , oh boy , she's got several questions .
Now , do you remember your very first podcast , who it was and what the topic was and why you chose it ?
First podcast . Well , justin was the first , and the reason I picked Justin is because he was the only one that would do it . Seriously , I was going to ask a lot of different people , but he was the only one that would do it .
Okay , yeah , now , and my other question is is there a person or a topic that you've wanted to cover on your podcast that you haven't been able to yet because you haven't been able to find the person ? That is is related to the topic you'd like to know about , or you know what I'm talking about . Yeah , yeah , I gotcha .
I think I would love to find somebody that was either A in the space program , like NASA , or somebody like that that I could pick their brain on the show and learn about what it's like for space travel , or maybe they were even just in , never got to do it , but actually went through the training .
That kind of thing would be very interesting to me , and so if there's anybody that's into that or has somebody who was in NASA or somebody that was on any kind of a spacecraft , that would be awesome .
Who's the oldest person you've ever had on the podcast 101 years old , and what was ?
your topic World War II , really World War II . I've had two World War II people in here , two of them , and one was 101 and the other one was like 97 or 98 . That was incredible . Hearing those stories and getting those stories was amazing .
Firsthand .
It was incredible , wow , and they were very , very with it . Those are also podcasts you should listen to . They're really good .
Have you interviewed children , any children , and why ?
Our kids have been on , but I haven't done any of the other kids except for them . Actually I shouldn't say that Owen Estalis , owen Estalis , who's an actor , he was in Hillbilly Elegy , which is the movie that's about Vance . He was here . He played young Vance .
He's been in the studio twice , so he was in as a very young kid and then he was in right after he did Hillbilly . He was in that too . Yeah , now he moved south so I wanted try and get him on here , but didn't . He wasn't in the area .
So yeah , all right , okay , next yeah , thank you .
Thank you so much for being here . Hopefully we can have a drink together after the show . Yeah , all right , so we have . Now . It's jess and tony . Yeah , so there you go , we're gonna give you both . Have a microphone . There's a chair back there , tony , that you can grab . I love seeing the people coming in and out of the uh , of the the the room there .
That's kind of fun , kind of fun . So how are you doing ? We are good . Are you guys ripped up yet or anything ? No , you're good . No , we're good . You're good . Okay , you're responsible , okay . We had our magic mind . This morning . Oh good , Good , Good . Segue to the magic mind . We'll bring this up a little later , but it is really good .
Did you guys notice that it doesn't ? It's not as chunky . You see how that's chunky in the bottom . This is cause this is an older , older batch . It's not as chunky anymore . They actually the matcha , which is a mushroom was was not able to be , uh , ground up , fine enough . They hired a scientist I'm not kidding you , I got an email about this .
They hired a scientist that figured out how to emulsify it better . So now you don't get into that residue in the bottom you got an email about this yeah , I'm connected with magic mind . I'm very connected .
Yeah , that is how we start our day what's that ? Get to the office we cheers our cheers , the magic mind .
That's good . That's good . That's how we start , yeah . Yeah , are you guys looking for something ? There's like people looking for something . You're good , what's that ? We need to be close oh , get , get closer to the microphones . There you go , there you go . Okay , so we're going to keep moving here .
So , tony and Jess , you were on the show not too long ago and you were here because your company inspired wellness , which they weren't supposed to wear logos . I told them not to , but they didn't know . I'm kidding . I didn't get that . So you are . You guys are doing great work . You're working with a lot of kids around the County .
You guys are doing great work . You're working with a lot of kids around the county . How's it going with the school you're just starting .
It's going really well . Actually , we were able to acquire two new school districts this year in addition to the ones that we serviced last year . Awesome , it's really good . We have a lot of good stuff coming up . We have a lot of ideas for future services as well .
We've seen a pickup , obviously obviously since school started , with anxiety and getting back into routines . So it's really nice to be able to be in the schools and helping these students and parents and teachers and everybody adjust .
And what do you guys specialize in , Like what's your specialty ? That you would say I know you cover a lot of different things , but what's your specialty ? That's a great question . There's a lot of us .
Um there's nine clinicians and two interns now which is different from when we were here .
Yeah , um , we can't get nine people in here just so you know cause last time they put remember they pushed the limit you go they're like ah well , you know you can only have two . Like you can only have two other people . No , we want three , we can only have two people . You can know . Want three , we can only have two people .
You can know we want three . I'm like I guess we're gonna have three .
You made it happen . Yeah , we did yes . So what would 11 look like ? And then we have a 12 , starting in January .
Hugo , how would we do this ? I don't even know how we would do it , I don't know . That's funny , so , um , so you special , so there lot of things , but you're covering a lot of schools .
Yeah , yeah , awesome we are . Since we've been in here last , we have , as you know , opened an office in Axton with thank you , you and Pete Heim were very instrumental in making that happen , more so Pete than me , but that's all right . Hey , it takes a village . Us grow in that area as well . Cool , Um , so yeah , so that's that's .
the goal is to continue to grow here and we'll have to have you come back in and do a show again . Absolutely .
Yeah .
Just the two of you .
Well , we were honored . I remember you know , brad , we have been friends for a very long time and always hearing about the podcast and that trip to the beach in December when you were like , hey , you should be on it . I was like finally , yeah , that's funny , that's funny , but we are so honored to be on the podcast .
We really had a great time with it , um , and we hope to do a lot in the future . We're so proud of you . Do you have a ?
question for me .
We do , we do oh boy .
Is it a combined question or is ? It , we have a couple . I don't know if we have that kind of time . Let's see where we are time-wise . I think we're good , all right , oh yeah , well , well , yeah okay , questions .
We'll start with question one . If somebody came to you with a box of all the things that you lost , what's the first thing you'd be looking for ?
oh man , um , first thing I'd be looking for is what's that my mind ? Hugo , that was funny . He said my mind , that's really good . Um , I'm going to say um , a box of . What am I looking for ? Is this like a psychological thing ?
Are you guys reading me ? It's always deep .
It's probably um , actually I wish I had a box that had in it what I'm going to learn in the future . So I open it up and I go oh man , if I do , if I do this , this and this , I , I'll , I'll be , it'll be an easier life . It's a good spin right .
Not bad .
So , actually your response kind of piggybacks off the second question . So if we have time for one , more question .
Holy shit , I need another bottle of wine or something . Go ahead .
So if you were to tell your younger self any piece of advice but only in three words . What would it be ?
In three words . How about just do it ? How about just do it ? That's two words , but just just do it , right ? Yeah , don't be afraid , live outside that box . Actually live outside that box and just do it , and don't don't let anything hold you back , because this is not a rehearsal . We all know that this is it . That's a lot more than three words , okay .
Well , your time's up Okay .
On that note , get the heck out of here All right now we're moving on .
So , um , robin Jones , I believe , is next right . So Robin , I guess , is out there , ready to come in . Robin , hey girls , thanks so much for being here . Appreciate it . Thank you so much . All right , look at it . Look , the holding room is getting less and less people .
It's getting emptier and emptier , so that means I won't have anybody to to have fun with afterwards . You're going to sit right there and you know you got to get up on that microphone because you have done podcasts before we had such a good time . Yeah , Robin Jones , from Berks County living here she um , I met you a long time ago a long time ago .
And um . What ended up happening is we ended up doing a podcast together and it was so fun , my gosh , was that fun I wonder how many episodes we did .
I'm not sure it was a lot .
Yeah , you know what's funny ? I think it was . It was probably close to 200 had to be well , I could look back it was every week you'd have to pull your redding eagle papers I don't know . It's so true , so true . So it was every week on a thursday . Yep , and what would do ? What time in the morning was that ?
Maybe 9 am 9 am every week and that was so fun . We would do like current events . Hugo , do you remember ? Did you ever see the show ?
No , you never saw it .
Tony .
Reese , tony Reese .
Yes , tony Reese , gami Nieves , robin Jones , and we had a blast . There was the four of us . We did it at the Double Tree and it was just a great time we did it .
We started at the Crown Plaza . Oh my gosh , we did start at the Crown Plaza first , and then at her office and then at the Double Tree . It was wonderful .
Absolutely . Yeah , it was a lot of fun . So you're the publisher of the Berks County Living Magazine . Yes , years . Wow , it's incredible . Right , it is . Yeah , that's amazing , and the magazine is always , always looks great . I always look forward to actually the cover .
Oh , me too .
Is there something about that with the cover ? Like you just well , you said , I remember in the , in the podcast you did , you said opening up that box and probably there's like a smell of the magazines too that smells good .
You open that box up .
Oh , that's great .
The public hasn't received it yet . No , no , no .
But you see it and then you look through it . Yeah , so that's really cool . So that's something you look forward to . I love it . Yeah that's awesome , Awesome . So you're not going to tell us it's on the cover , then I guess obviously .
No , you can't .
A couple days , I thought maybe we could get her to give something for the October .
Yeah , our October issue every year is our senior living issue to tie into the Berks Encore senior .
So does that mean I'm on the cover ?
No , I feel as though I might be .
Well , I don't know . I think we're real close , real close . What ?
question do you have for Brad ?
Yeah , all right .

As fast as we build it . Can you open that damn road there ? There's a road that I just wish I could take a shortcut on , but they have these blocks up there .
I know what's going on with that . I'm not dumb . Once we open it , yeah , it's gonna .
Yeah , I'm worried about the traffic yeah just it's gonna fly through there . Yeah , I actually asked the township if we could put a one of those table speed bumps in . Yeah , they wouldn't let us do it . I'm like why that's what he said .
Yeah , yeah yeah , I know , this is where this is what's funny about Kevin . It always goes into that .
I'm paying for it Because they're going to fly through there . That's my biggest concern . I agree with you .
I'm planning on going 70 through there , that's what I'm thinking 70 should work really well . Now if you put one of those ramps in there . That'd be really nice . You get launched off and come back down . You look good man . Thanks . You look good man . Thanks man . You like the shirt ? I love the shirt , doesn't it look like Vegas ?

Every time I meet her , I'm like this is why I bring Kevin on . He brings me down . She looks amazing , right , she looks phenomenal . Yeah , yeah , you're leaving after this , right .
I was going to hang around for a little bit . I'm talking to your great son , Carson . Oh yeah , Carson's great .
And my daughter's right there . She's kind of wondering why you didn't get a chance to talk to her yeah .
I was actually in the room and I said who's that young girl ? And they said what ? Yeah , I know , dude , she was a little baby . Yeah , exactly , little kid . Amazing , amazing , carson's golfing . And I already said , you're at this age already better than your father .
Oh , that's a given . When he started he was better than me . It was funny . Kevin works the room in there . He knows everything that's going on in that room . Who's there ? What's going on ? I love it . I love it . So you have any questions for me ? Like you want to ask me a question ?
yeah , so the question I would want to ask I can't wait , no , it's not that . Okay , good , you used to have beautiful . Oh geez , if , if you could , the genie came out of the bottle , would you want that hair back ? I know , not necessarily at your age , but like sort of like that whole .
you mean like up there on the Gorgeous . That was a good picture , that's a good picture .
That's the one I'm talking about . Yeah , yeah .
If I could have that hair back , I would be a happy guy , really happy guy . That's what I should have told them . Should have been in the box my hair . That's right . If there was something in the box that I could get out of a box right now , it would be my hair . That would be it . That you know what it's tough . It's tough .
You still got your hair , though what the hell Listen . I got great hair , but my feet smell .
Oh geez , Nobody's perfect oh my God , oh geez , all right , on that note . Who's up next ? Is that ? The only question you had was that was it I , I ? Oh , we had one , okay , that's good no that's good , that's good .
Okay , you're , you're , you're good , I'm good , we've been always watching here at the room , watching you here .
Yeah , we were watching you over here . We were right there . We were watching you in that room . We were watching you work , the work , the crowd . I came for the free booze . I knew that coming out means a lot . Okay , all right . So who's next in the hot seat here ? Tammy is here . Oh , tammy , good to see you . I was hoping you'd get here on time .
We're running a little over right now , but I think that's okay , we'll be all right . We'll be all right . You're going to have to bring that down . Kevin's a little tall there . So , oh , yeah , well that would have been .
That would have been fun right .
Awesome . So cheers , I'm going to do a little cheers with you . I have my little Surfside . Do you guys drink Surfside ? These things are amazing . This invention is incredible .
So I brought you a present . Oh , you brought me a present .
Oh , is this going to be T-shirts for you ? And ?
your crew .
Oh , thank you , congratulations , thank you so much , oh my God , there's how many people we have here . Thank you so much and I know it's on here . This is the center for TMJ , which is that's your company , and I see I have your teeth here .
Yeah , yeah .
That would be bad If we had your teeth here , it'd be really bad , yeah . So , um , thanks for coming . I know you were at a dinner or something beforehand .
Yes , I was entertaining another dentist .
Entertaining another dentist . Okay , good , good , good , I'm going to put these down , or otherwise I'm going to be holding them .
Absolutely yeah .
But thanks for coming in . So when Tammy was on , uh , the reason she was at one is that she was a customer years ago . Also , a friend also used to do my teeth , um . And then what was really amazing is when you , when you helped out Jess with her TMJ and she was in a lot of pain and my wife and and you , you fixed it .
I mean , you gave her an appliance , fixed it . And from that point on I was like this person's pretty amazing , I mean , and now you're doing sleep apnea , you're doing snoring , all this stuff . So , uh , you still get this . Is there anything new ?
sleep apnea . You're doing , snoring , all this stuff , so , uh , you still get this . Is there anything new ? Well , my question for you oh my god , actually from your wife oh boy , when am I gonna get the appliance ? Because of snoring yeah yeah , no , are you getting nudged ?
uh , yeah , I do get nudged sometimes have you done anything about ? I haven't done a damn thing . Uh , I do probably snore , but it doesn't bother me . And yes , I should come to you and get the appliance made that makes me breathe better and sleep better . I should do that . Yeah , because I need to sleep . Yeah , I absolutely do .
Boy , this has become an awkward show . Oh my gosh .
There is something new , though , to get you off the hook .
Oh , what's new .
It's called an Inspire implant and it's put in by an ear , nose and throat doctor and it controls the tongue at night , so it stays out of the airway . Oh so you don't have to wear anything in your mouth , you don't have to wear a mask on your face .
I think I know somebody that has this . I think Susan's husband has this . Uh , mark McFadden , I think he has that , that appliance . I'm pretty sure he does actually . Yeah , cause it's surgically put in .
It is .
And it went through your ear .
No , no . They go in through underneath your tongue and they put a uh like a computer underneath the clavicle and then there's leads that go to the tongue . So it pushes the tongue out of the airway all night .
Well , that's interesting . So your tongue is getting shocked the whole night . Pretty much . Very good , very good . I'm probably . Jess would probably rather you had me do that one , because she'll probably turn up the shock somehow , you know . Oh , my gosh .
So otherwise , you're doing well , very good , all right , you're going to come back on the show sometime , sure , okay , good , good , and no other questions for me , though . We're good for good , all right , awesome , thanks for stopping in . Stick around so I can say hello to you afterwards too . All right , yeah , we're doing well here at 7 .
Thank you , thank you , I appreciate that , and thanks for being a guest too . We'll have you on again . Oh man , uh-oh , those who are in the hot seat and I . This is going to be interesting . This is going to be interesting . They're going to be on probably for an hour . No , all right , come on in here .
So my parents have never been on the show before , um , and now they're . They're going to be on the show , so they , um , um , are you guys didn't know you're going to be on the show , is that right ? No , well , I didn't know , you didn't know it . I thought I was just gonna be an observer . Oh't know you're gonna be on the show , is that right ?
No , well , I didn't know , you didn't know it , I thought I was just gonna be an observer . Oh , you thought you're just gonna drink wine for free all night . What the heck have a snack . Oh my gosh . All right , so you have to get up on the microphones real close , real close . Get up on those mics . You put that as on .

Okay , that's the way I look at it now if I can make golf , uh , later on you remember , at 30 , some years , same as you're longer in the business but if I can make this part of my retirement , whether it be going from this , here's the dream .
The dream is going from this either A into politics , okay , or B into public speaking of some sort , coming up with writing a book and doing something that's more motivational , more public , like that , where I can help people , serve people and help make their lives better . That's the goal . But real estate is still obviously in my blood and I love to do it .

So no , so I want to say um , you know , thanks for everybody was on .
Uh , now I have my family coming on and is uh to , you know , kind of wrap this whole thing up , because they were here the last time for christmas . You're gonna have to share a mic there , guys . So , jessie , and remember , you have to get up on the mics , okay , don't forget . Oh , another one , is this yours or mine ? Oh , thank you .
So , um , yeah , so this is cool . The family's back in the studio um 200 episode episodes later and , um , you know , just remember you got to get up on those mics , guys . So what do you ? I'm gonna just ask what do you think of the podcast tonight ? How'd it go ?
it was good it was good .
So all night she was chattering on that microphone faking a podcast . It was good , it was good , okay , good , okay . She's looking at herself in the tv and what do you think , carson ? How'd it go ?
it was good it was good .
You sound like you're not sure it was good . It was good .
You sound like you're not sure it was good besides the shirt .
Besides the shirt , so they don't like the shirt .
Yeah , but it matches your shoes . That's cool . It's a little crazy .
Well , I was also thinking when you said the three things you might want to get into , you would have to get some new clothes , new clothes .
Yeah , not really fly .
So well , how do you know ? Yeah , not really fly . So well , how do you know ? This could be the new look for politics , right ? You don't know ? People remember me .
I don't think so .
You don't think so , okay , okay . So do you guys have any questions for me ? I do Okay .
Ooh , if you could be anything besides , like a successful realtor and a podcaster , like person or whatever . What ?
would you do ? I'd be a singer , singer-songwriter .
Besides that , besides things that you already did , I'd be probably a commercial pilot .
She's not impressed by the answer . Were you expecting something different ? No , commercial pilot ? I think so . We know Daddy's always prepared to fly . Of course I don't drink on a plane . Should we tell them real quick ? I do not drink on a plane . Should we tell them real quick ?
I do not drink on a plane and the reason I don't is because I have my pilot's license . Now I haven't flown for a long time , but I have my pilot's license .
And the reason I don't drink on a plane is because if somebody comes out and goes , is there a pilot or is there somebody that can fly the plane , which means that the captain died or is no longer able to fly and the first officer is no longer able to fly . So I don't drink because I'm the third officer .
Okay , so that's why I don't drink . That's the reason I drink on a plane .
That she drinks heavily because she's afraid I might be flying .
Wait , I have a question , though One more .
What's that ?
How did you get just one red shoe ?
How'd I get one red shoe ? You know , ask Sus suzy redesign it was , it was um . I wear red sneakers almost every day which you guys know I have 20 I think 21 pairs of red sneakers . I thought it was 18 , it's more . Now I have 21 pairs of red sneakers and I wear red sneakers every day and that's why it was in the . That's why it's in the logo .
I told suzy after she had that logo started . I said to her I need a red sneaker in there and let's see what that looks like . She put the red sneaker in and it was . It was perfect .
Um , I have a question . Yeah , go ahead . What made you start the podcast ?
Um , I always I liked doing podcasts that I'd done before , but during COVID it gave me the space and the time to actually do it and think about it .
Yeah , I remember it . I remember you with this little thingy midwob over here this thingy midwob , over here this thingy midwob you mean the mixer . Yeah , yeah , you would sit in like the dining room . You know you would sit on our counter and just like start pressing buttons oh yeah , absolutely yeah .
You know , you guys were all excited about it yeah , and I always said can I press those colorful buttons ?
and I said no , I know , yeah , exactly , all right .
So but when it was off , I just put my fingers on every of course you did .
Of course you did , jessie , everything else you want to uh say or talk about or anything like that , because we're gonna have to wrap this up .
It is 801 last question yeah , last question we've talked about the number of podcasts that somebody usually does to be a successful podcaster usually to get past a certain number . So here we are 200 . Tell us . What do you think made you successful to get to reach that goal ?
um , I would say just having a vision for it , also having a good team , uh , hugo , tony stevens , suzy lysik having a great team behind me , and and being able to delegate things that I that I can't do , um , and uh , just keeping it going .
I'll tell you one thing that really made it go better was when we started recording instead of , instead of always doing live like this , uh , we , we started recording them and placing them out further ahead , further in the distance . Uh , that's probably what made me keep doing it .
And now it's amazing and I think I've told people this a couple of times is I get about five or six requests a week to be on the show , and we're not talking locally . These are nationally and sometimes international .
Okay , good , I have one more question . Okay , go . How did you feel when you did your first podcast ?
I'm a little nervous . Yeah , a little nervous , but it was . It was just in in our , in the office , in our house and with Justin , so it wasn't that bad and nobody was really listening , all right , so we got to wrap it up Go ahead , let's do family cheers . Oh yeah , family cheers . Thank you , thank you . Thank you .
All right , so we're going to wrap this up and I have a little bit to say here before we do . As we're doing it , hugo , I want to say um , thanks so much to you , uh , for putting this together tonight . It was a lot of work . You had to do a lot . I appreciate that very much .
