Exclusive access to premium content!What happens when you mix the chaos of a live media appearance with a hungry podcaster trying to balance it all? Join me as I recount a particularly hectic day where scheduling an appearance on TMZ turned into a marathon of messages and last-minute sprints to intercept a lost DoorDash delivery. Despite being on a tightrope walk between my podcast duties and TMZ's relentless communications, I somehow managed to juggle it all without dropping the ball. Picture me darting to the gate for my food while simultaneously prepping for a crucial test call—it's a scene of comedic relief amidst the whirlwind of media madness.
Then, as the dust settles, I delve into the art of managing professional frustrations with grace. After all the hustle and hurried efficiency, imagine receiving a curt message about rescheduling from a major media entity like TMZ, without so much as an apology. This episode explores the importance of time respect and professional courtesy, even when dealing with big names. I take you through my decision to pause and consult my community for crafting a diplomatic response, underscoring the need to maintain dignity when faced with dismissive behavior. Tune in for an honest exploration of modern media engagements and the lessons learned in keeping one's cool.

TMZ. You pissed me off and I gotta tell y'all about this man. You know people will waste your time and not even give a fuck if you don't make them give a fuck. And that's the. I'm gonna start there. So check this out. As you know you probably should know I've done TMZ. Uh, I think this would be like my fifth. This would have been my fifth appearance on TMZ. This would have been my fifth appearance on TMZ, maybe fourth, but I'm thinking fifth. So, anyway, my fifth appearance on TMZ. So let me give you how it goes.
Speaker 1:Okay, so what they do is, first of all, it ties up your whole day, because they had to communicate with you a million times throughout the whole day to just do this live show or whatever. So keep that in mind. Now I'm like morning comes, I do TMZ. This is how they do it in the morning. They say, hey, we'll be calling you at about this time, Excuse me, we'll be calling you at about this time, um or or or, texting you and letting you know what are the topics for the day that you could choose from. So I'm like, okay, cool. So they hit me up in the morning. They say that, okay, I'm like, cool, I'm waiting and they hit me back another couple hours Maybe. It's about 11 o'clock right now with the topics. So now I got to pick out the topics.
Speaker 1:Now, mind you, I do two daily podcast episodes a day, so I got an hour. It's 730 am pm, I mean 730 am. I do a show Of course y'all know the flow show, no filter, apple, I mean live on YouTube and on Apple and Spotify. You know I do that at 730. And then I got the lunchtime show, now at noon. So I told you they, they want to communicate with you a million times. So, mind you, I'm trying to do all that. I'm trying to do my show. Do TMZ, you know, do their appearance.
Speaker 1:So I get fucking hungry as hell at like man, it had to be about 1130. I'm starving cuz I was gonna try to eat after all this was done, cuz I didn't want to be fucking with it. Door dead. I know my issues with door dead, but I got, but I had to, so I gotash. I'm like, well, they got a whole hour. I'm like, boom, tmz. Then they hit me up saying, hey, 1130, we're going to do the test call. I'm like, oh shit, as they say that, I look at my phone and they say the fucking delivery coming at the exact same time or estimated to come at the exact same time when they doing the test call. When TMZ is calling me to do the test call, it's the same time that this DoorDash food is supposed to get there. So I'm already like here we fucking go.
Speaker 1:Doordash takes an hour plus every time I order it, and this right in the middle of this tmz shit. It's gonna come in 20, 25 minutes, what the hell. So I'm like all right, but I like at very worst, because on oh and on the test call, what they do is they call you. You gotta have your camera set up, so somewhat like zoom, but you do it on skype and then somehow they'd be talking in the background. You got to put your camera on. You either use your phone or external camera. I usually use the camera on my laptop and so they call you. They make sure you're lighting good, you're set up good, and and if your setup is good it's usually kind of quick.
Speaker 1:So I said you know, at very worst, if they come at the exact both time, I'm just going to have to tell my food people to hold on one second. You know that's what I'm thinking. So, of course, 1130 or whatever the time when they both supposed to be, when TMZ want to do the test call and DoorDash coming, how? About 11.30 came, tmz didn't call yet and it was about 11.35 and they hadn't called yet. So previous, they often are behind schedule. So I'm like, okay, a little bit, not a lot much. So I'm saying, well, if they ain't called by now they might be behind schedule. So I'm like, okay, a little bit, not much. So I'm saying, well, if they ain't call by now they might be behind schedule. And if I go get my food and they call now, they're going to be like, well, we was late anyway. So you know, I had to go get my damn food. So I'm like, all right, let me go get the food Y'all.
Speaker 1:I go all the way to the gate. Now, mind you, it's about a three-minute walk to the gate for my apartment. So it's a little walk. I mean it ain't like a country mile, but it ain't. It's not zippity-doo-dah, zippity-day, it's like you feel it a little bit. So then I take this walkthrough, get my food.
Speaker 1:I go there, the person who's driving the DoorDash person talking about they can't find the address. I said, oh my God, it's simple. That's why I even come to the gate to make it even more simple. So they're not there. Now I'm thinking like, ok, now I admitted TMZ about the call, so now I can't be standing out here. So once I go to the gate, they ain't there. I have to come. I'm basically running back to my apartment. I get in the apartment, okay, tmz call, perfect timing. I say you know, I'm cool, I'm already there set up. They call, they say everything looks good. And I'm like, boom, boom gone. Now it's about to be 12 o'clock. Remember I told you I got the lunchtime show at 12.
Speaker 1:Now the person called again from DoorDash and say they at the gate. So then I say okay, here I come. Y'all Tell me why I went to this little long walk. I told you that you feel I'm doing it again. Keep that in mind when I say gate, this ain't 10 steps, this is a walk Down steps. Then when you come back, you got to come up three flights, like two flights of steps or something like that. Two or three flights, no elevator. So I walk back out there, get to the gate. I don't see nobody.
Speaker 1:Now the lunchtime show is about to start Now. I'm about to be late on that. I'm about to be late on that and I'm trying to deal with TMZ and the missile artists and get my fucking food. And I'm starving. Remember, don't forget, I said I was starving, so now I'm doing all this starving, I'm doing all this walking and this person is not at the fucking gate, like they said they were at the gate.
Speaker 1:We actually text in the DoorDash app and both said okay, she said she was at the gate. I said here, I come to the gate. So when I went to the gate, she not there, but she said she had the gate. I said only thing I could think of is she at the wrong gate. Nobody has ever went to this other gate that's over here, because it's way is past the big, obvious gate that we meet. We supposed to me that is no way you drive past it. You literally can't do it. You know it's right there. So she went to. But I just was thinking like, is this been so crazy? She probably went to the wrong gate. So that was the case I text. I said she probably went to the wrong gate. So that was the case I texted. I said you must be at the wrong gate.
Speaker 1:But mind you, now I got to come back into the apartment because it's time to do the lunchtime show. So I'm a couple minutes late to the lunchtime show. Y'all know I hate to be late. If I'm late, it's only going to be a couple minutes because I'm busting my late to the long time show. Y'all know I hate to be late. If I'm late, it's only gonna be a couple minutes cause I'm busting my ass to get it there in a timely manner, fuck. So now, mind you, I ain't got my food yet and now I gotta get started with the lunch time show. So now I gotta do the lunch time show. Luckily, uh lunch time show, my boy gray helps me out on there and he'd be on there, so he's on the show.
Speaker 1:So I said look y'all, I'm about to get my. I had to get my food. When it finally came, I went to get it. Do y'all know when I finally got my food? You know I don't know if you're ever familiar with that DoorDash uses this you got to give them a PIN number. Now, sometimes, to make sure it's you or whatever. You know, you got to give your DoorDash or a PIN number. So I gave her the PIN number when I got the thing when I got my food. I'm hauling ass back in.
Speaker 1:As soon as I got my food she called me on the DoorDash app. I answered the phone. She said can I have the pen? I said, oh, I can't leave the pen, baby. But here you know I'm being ultimately patient because I'm trying to get to what I need to do and I understand she needs to get paid for delivering this food, even though it's cold. But I'm going to complain and get my money or whatever. You know how we do DoorDash. So I give her the pen. I get back in the house.
Speaker 1:She hit me again, calling me again talking about for the pen. I said, no, no, no, come on. I gave you a pen three times you. I gotta do this show. So I had to, just not. I had to stop answering. I text the pin. And she still called talking about the pin. I was like, oh my god, this is a nightmare. I get back to the show. I knock out the lunchtime show. I mean, you know, thank God that everybody's so understanding and we just have a cool gang, so we just have fun anyway. But now TMZ calls because, remember, they tell you they got to check with you a million times. Tmz call. I'm just chilling, like trying to.
Speaker 1:Normally I would be, you know, making my edits, chopping up, putting out my sample content, all of that type of stuff Like TMZ, like I'm not doing none of that because I'm trying to be ready for them. Then they hit me up. This is the next process they do. They hit you up to say once I pick what, once they tell me what the topic is and I tell them OK, I want to talk about the Kendrick Lamar not like us performance. That might have been a topic. So I say yeah. They say OK, cool. Then they say, give us a little example of what you're going to say. And you just give them a brief summary of, hey, I might say whatever I want to say about it. Right, give them a summary, cool. Then they hit me.
Speaker 1:Now a couple, like an hour and a half or so go past and they hit me up and say well, we move, we moving you to the viewers choice segment. It's at the end of the show. Um, whatever, I'm just like okay, what the fuck is that? But, okay, but Because I'm like you know, I'm just wait, wait, mind you like I said I'm normally working on this shit, on the flow show, art stuff. You know what I mean. Like I told you, I don't put too many things in front of the podcast and our community for real. So like, if I do, it's like even TM, tmz, I'm like don't waste my time. So look, now they finally hit me. It's like three o'clock or something, I'm ready.
Speaker 1:I like I said I'm behind, I'm just like let me get this out the way. After all this running around, I'm running. I don't even run like this y'all. Everything I do is normally very efficient, very simple and it all makes sense. So I don't be just running around with it like a chicken with it with my head cut off. So then they text me, um, on my on the app and say I can't even remember, and I can't, the phone is like dead. That the message is on and it's my phone tripping, that's a whole other story. So they text me and say, hey, we ran out of time today. We can reschedule, have a nice day, basically, just like that. Like no apologies, no, hey, our bad. You know, sorry for holding you up, but can we reschedule None of that, just straight. Hey, we ran out of time, we'll have to reschedule, have a great and they put a few dates. They put a few dates just saying I can pick and have a great day.
Speaker 1:I read that shit after all that shit and the way it happened and then the way it was so dismissive and like I told y'all, I don't, y'all know, I don't give a fuck if you TMZ or if you didn't. You're the next door neighbor, don't play with my time. I won't play with your time, neighbor, don't play with my time. I won't play with your time. And I don't like when, especially matter of fact, I will give the neighbor all kind of slack because I don't go hard on my, on a common person. But tmz, you think that you already, I'm already feeling like y'all think y'all above people, or or you trying to waste time and sabotage people Because you know I damn near get more views than TMZ. But I said all that to say I was so taken aback I didn't even respond. And guess what? This is how I know whoever sent that message was doing too much and, like I said, because I know the TMZ folks think very highly of me, got very big respect.
Speaker 1:I'm on my fifth time. I've been fifth appearance. I mean, I've been like always on cue, on ready. You know everybody like my episodes, blah, blah, blah. So I know it's like nah, and especially that's what I meant. I meant that to add that context, because that's another reason why I'm like damn you, you gonna just say that and like so dry and dismissive, like you ain't wasting my fucking time. But guess what? I didn't shit. I just read it about two hours later, sent another message talking about hey, please let us know, and that was that's it. That was yesterday and today's the day. So that was yesterday.
Speaker 1:I'm going to respond, but I, when you do that, I got to relax a little bit. I can't just say what I, you know, because you know I'm no filter. I can't just hurry up and respond because I might even if I try to say it a nice way, I'm going to cut you a little bit and I don't want to do that. So I had to take a little breather, relax, to talk to my community. If y'all can reach out to me on on any of my uh platforms, ig, or put it in the fan mail uh, what's your, my, what's your? Give me a craft, me a nice response. I wanted to be very professional, but I wanted to be stern. If you can think of something, let me know, but I'm responding by out. I'm still thinking I ain't going to even I will respond. I'm going to respond by tomorrow. Yeah y'all, that's the TMZ. They pissed me off and fuck them for now and we'll see how it goes, but I don't like it.
