00:00:00We'll light it up like there's no tomorrow
00:00:04Hands up if you wanna be free
00:00:07We'll live it up like there's no tomorrow
00:00:11Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:00:15Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
00:00:19Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
00:00:23Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
00:00:30Sigh
00:01:01Good morning, Maria.
00:01:06He's gonna win.
00:01:09I don't know what kind of fairy godmother magic you did to make him into a mayoral contender, but he's gonna open doors for us.
00:01:15I quit.
00:01:17Pardon me?
00:01:19Nothing to do with you or this place. My time here has been a dream.
00:01:24Okay, so why are you quitting?
00:01:26I want more.
00:01:27Oh, like more like a race. Cool.
00:01:29More out of life.
00:01:30Okay, I don't understand.
00:01:31I swore to myself I'd never go back to corporate PR, but look, here I am.
00:01:35This is crazy. You are about to become the hottest image consultant in Manhattan.
00:01:41You're just gonna walk away from that?
00:01:44I'm gonna focus on my wellness blog.
00:01:46Become an influencer?
00:01:48A life coach. I already have a few thousand followers. I just need to build momentum.
00:01:54We can ease up on the work load. Easy. Let's do it.
00:01:57Clara, thank you, but no.
00:02:00Is there anything I can say to keep you?
00:02:03There isn't.
00:02:05So now that that's settled, I want to talk about you guys.
00:02:08Steve, you need to give yourself more me time, so I booked you taiko drum lessons.
00:02:13I mean, you've been talking about it for years, so get after it, okay?
00:02:18Clara, I got you.
00:02:22And National Park's passport, so you can go on some mother-daughter trips with Kim and collect stamps together.
00:02:28And I realized that HR isn't fully utilizing their wellness budget,
00:02:32so I got an automated massage chair for the staff on this floor since they've been working overtime.
00:02:36It's in my old office, which is now a zen room.
00:02:39Image is important. That's what we do here, but finding real balance in life is what's crucial to thrive.
00:02:46Oh, oh! He won. Morris won the primary.
00:02:51Oh my god!
00:02:53Goodbye. Hey, take care. I mean it literally.
00:03:21I'm ready to show the world what I can do.
00:03:24It's gonna be rocking, that's all I can say.
00:03:28No reason to stop, cause I'm going all the way.
00:03:31Why are we having ice cream on a weekday?
00:03:33Cause we're celebrating. You want to guess?
00:03:36The blender's on sale? Grandma found a silver fox?
00:03:39Who told you that term?
00:03:41Grandma.
00:03:42I wish, but no.
00:03:44You're taking me to Disneyland?
00:03:45Nice try.
00:03:47I quit my job to focus on the vlog.
00:03:51You have nothing to worry about, Ellie. This is a good thing.
00:03:56I'm helping, right?
00:03:57Of course. I mean, who's the best camera operator east of the Mississippi?
00:04:12You did what?
00:04:13Mom, I have money saved up.
00:04:15Oh, I'm concerned. I'm very concerned.
00:04:18Thanks for the vote of confidence.
00:04:19No, that was a good job. A secure job.
00:04:21That was a shallow PR job.
00:04:23What if you need to find a job and you can't because you've been out of the game for so long?
00:04:27I'm still gonna be doing image consulting on the side. I'm just gonna pivot it into life coach with the vlog.
00:04:31What if the economy crashes? What if you need to move?
00:04:33What if there's an earthquake in Manhattan?
00:04:35What? Can that even happen?
00:04:37I have an image consulting gig interview tomorrow.
00:04:41Can you watch Ellie?
00:04:43Well, I'm volunteering at the clothing donation store.
00:04:46I'll get a babysitter.
00:04:47I can cancel.
00:04:48Mom, it's raining.
00:04:53Why now?
00:04:55If not now, then when?
00:04:58I looked over my journals over the last couple of years and I realized that I wasn't happy.
00:05:02I was pouring all of my energy into a job that I didn't care about out of some misguided pride in work ethic.
00:05:08Self-care and wellness helped me to find balance in my life and I just want to help other people.
00:05:13Like, I have to help other people.
00:05:16And the vlog will do that?
00:05:19Yeah.
00:05:21I don't know.
00:05:23I've been freelance my whole life. Self-employment is stressful.
00:05:27I have a plan.
00:05:28You know me. I triple checked the risks. It's a sound strategy.
00:05:33Okay?
00:05:38I love you. I just...
00:05:41You don't have to worry.
00:05:44That's what moms do.
00:05:46They do.
00:05:50You ready, director?
00:05:51Mom, you need to up your game.
00:05:53I need to up my game?
00:05:54Yeah, our equipment is like old.
00:05:57It's fine. We can upgrade as we go.
00:06:00What?
00:06:01All the influencers have these big cameras with lenses now. Not their phones.
00:06:05How do you know all this?
00:06:07I watch vlogs.
00:06:09Oh.
00:06:10The phone camera can make your face look wide.
00:06:13Action!
00:06:16Hi, everyone. Welcome back to Finding the Me Between the Beauty and the Mess.
00:06:19I'm Savannah Joy and in this video, I'm reviewing skincare masks.
00:06:23Now, I have everything from cleansing masks to hydration masks.
00:06:26I've tried gel, sheet, mud, clay. Everything so that you don't have to.
00:06:31Now, this mask, which is a rosemary and honey mask, is actually my favorite. It's not too drying.
00:06:35My favorite, too.
00:06:37Sorry.
00:06:39Action!
00:06:41Hi. Welcome back to Finding the Me Between the Beauty and the Mess.
00:06:44I'm Savannah Joy and in this video, I'm reviewing...
00:07:02Is that Ellie?
00:07:05Sorry, I couldn't get a sitter.
00:07:07Oh, no worries. I'm a big fan of your vlogs, so she's kind of like a celebrity to me.
00:07:12I'd be honored to hang out with you while your mom has her job interview.
00:07:16I'm Alicia.
00:07:18Thank you so much for the opportunity.
00:07:20Well, you've been posting about your consulting work non-stop, so I made a few calls and everyone has raved about you.
00:07:27Hey, do you have any sleep wellness advice?
00:07:31You know, actually, I have a post coming up about that. The trick is ritual and treating yourself a little.
00:07:38Anyway, Patrick is wrapping up, so can I get you anything?
00:07:42No.
00:07:43You guys want a tour?
00:07:45Come on.
00:07:46Come on.
00:07:55This is so cool.
00:07:59So, as you probably know, we are the number five interview talk radio show in New York.
00:08:05We used to be number one until a few years ago.
00:08:08I mean, you are New York's hottest club right now.
00:08:12I mean, from the models in the glass cubes just lounging around reading books to the wall of furry bath mats, it is edgy by being nonsensical.
00:08:21Patrick likes to use both booms to record.
00:08:28I'm sorry. Why don't you wait right here?
00:08:37Can you hear me?
00:08:39Yes.
00:08:42So, Ellie, can you tell me where grandma took you the other day?
00:08:46Museum of Teddy Bears. Grandma liked it. She was nice to take me there.
00:08:51I heard that the club's DJ wears a five-gallon bucket on his head. So cool.
00:08:59What did you think of it, Ellie?
00:09:02I mean, I'm a little old for that stuff. It was kind of immature.
00:09:05I heard it was popular.
00:09:07I guess, but I'm not four.
00:09:09Who's talking?
00:09:11Hey, Vincent. How's it going in there?
00:09:13We had to wait in a long line outside on the sidewalk just to get in.
00:09:16When we got in, it was so crowded. These girls were screaming, taking selfies.
00:09:20I don't know what the big deal is. Who cares?
00:09:23Well, I guess it was overhyped.
00:09:25Stop talking. Hello?
00:09:27My voice is so deep, like a man.
00:09:31Mary Sullivan, please avoid the detention.
00:09:34You bet your nose.
00:09:38So, Ellie, right? How old are you?
00:09:43Ten.
00:09:45Overrated or not? Green juice.
00:09:47Ew, green juice?
00:09:49Ten dollar artisan cupcakes.
00:09:51I make cupcakes with my mom.
00:09:53Well, you heard it, New York. Straight talk from a ten-year-old critic. You decide on the hype.
00:09:57And, well, what's your name?
00:10:01Savannah Joy.
00:10:03And what do you do, Savannah?
00:10:06How do you see yourself, Patrick?
00:10:08What do you do?
00:10:10Post. Cultured. Charming.
00:10:15Well, I'm a suit connoisseur. Watch enthusiast. Love all things bespoke.
00:10:21Always hustling. Always seeking the truth.
00:10:25Very stylish. In a medium where you're invisible to your audience.
00:10:28Oh, you mean radio?
00:10:30Calculated. Confident. Or closed off.
00:10:33Yes, I do wear a suit of armor.
00:10:35Charming, perhaps.
00:10:36I'm a life coach, which includes image consulting.
00:10:39Helping people with their public image.
00:10:41Usually start-up CEOs, politicians.
00:10:44I analyze their appearance, behavior, communication, anything that might affect their professional image.
00:10:49And I give recommendations. I can help you.
00:10:52Well, you heard it, New York. Do I need help? Let me know.
00:10:57This is Spreading the News with Patrick Dillon.
00:11:00Are we live?
00:11:02Every morning.
00:11:04Did all of New York just hear you flirting with me?
00:11:06I wasn't flirting.
00:11:08Yeah, some people wouldn't qualify that as flirting. More... awkward?
00:11:12I am very good at flirting.
00:11:15We're still broadcasting, Savannah.
00:11:22You hit the live button.
00:11:25Uh, yeah. Just one second.
00:11:28I am so sorry. We were in here waiting for the interview and I thought when you came in you were just playing along.
00:11:33No, I was trying to turn this gaffe into a skit.
00:11:36Are we still going to do the image consulting gig interview?
00:11:40No.
00:11:42Cute kid, though.
00:11:47My fault.
00:11:49They prepped this room to record and then moved on. I didn't know.
00:11:55Thank you for the opportunity.
00:11:57Sorry.
00:11:59Come on, babe.
00:12:04Hey.
00:12:06So, uh...
00:12:09Tenth Floor wants an update on our co-host search.
00:12:12Yeah. Gave them names months ago.
00:12:14And none were approved.
00:12:17Do you know that you're trending on social media?
00:12:20And in a good way, for once.
00:12:22Hmm.
00:12:24Patrick Dillon needs a makeover, yes.
00:12:28For a minute, he seemed like a guy I could have my eyes on.
00:12:30For a minute, he seemed like a guy I could have a beer with.
00:12:34Maybe she can turn him into someone who's not such a stuck-up...
00:12:38Okay, people like to see me stumble at schadenfreude.
00:12:42And why is that?
00:12:44She called you out and New York was charmed.
00:12:48Charmed is a strong word.
00:12:50You called yourself charming.
00:12:52Look, a makeover by her could be your ticket to building up your listener numbers.
00:12:57Maybe even get you that Best of NYC award after all these years.
00:13:03Yeah, I'm just a fan of hers.
00:13:05I am.
00:13:07But this proves that she is the perfect consultant to bring you back down to earth.
00:13:11I mean, she made over Morris.
00:13:13Or do I look like a dive bar owner?
00:13:16Okay, let's be real.
00:13:18Your declining listenership is why they want a co-host.
00:13:22And the Times said...
00:13:24I know what the Times said.
00:13:25You seem more focused on the insider gossip of the rich and powerful
00:13:30than the concerns of the average New Yorker.
00:13:35Listen, I know this may sound crazy,
00:13:39but I think we may have found a good co-host candidate to pitch to the 10th floor.
00:13:44Who?
00:13:46Her?
00:13:48Yeah, they will absolutely get on board.
00:13:51Her vlog followers are literally the demographic you score poorly with
00:13:55but our advertisers cut it.
00:13:57You're kidding. No!
00:13:59She will balance and call you out.
00:14:01Just like Howard Stern and Robin Quivers or Regis and Kelly.
00:14:06This is a joke, right?
00:14:08I feel that she'll bring something you lack.
00:14:12A more grounded, less pretentious perspective.
00:14:16You wouldn't throw a clown into a lion's den.
00:14:19Then give me more co-host names.
00:14:21No problem.
00:14:23That the 10th floor will approve.
00:14:25Listen, we're mashing two potatoes with one fork.
00:14:29And it's not like she's some seasoned co-host
00:14:32that the 10th floor will fall in love with and replace you with.
00:14:36She's a newbie.
00:14:38Exactly. Which is why this is straight up insulting.
00:14:42You're sinking, Patrick.
00:14:44And from where I stand, she is your best chance at saving your show.
00:14:50Get her for the consulting gig and co-host.
00:14:53Or I guarantee you
00:14:55the 10th floor will not renew your contract at the end of the season.
00:15:24Hi, everyone. Savannah here.
00:15:27And Ellie and I are having a creative day
00:15:29as part of our wellness routine.
00:15:36Hi, Savannah here.
00:15:38And who is this person?
00:15:41Showed up on airplane mode.
00:15:43Hello?
00:15:45Savannah!
00:15:47Dr. Dylan.
00:15:49You just called me like eight times.
00:15:51Why didn't you leave a message?
00:15:53Because you picked up.
00:15:55Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday.
00:15:58Water under the bridge.
00:16:00Okay. Great. Can I still come in for the interview?
00:16:03No need. You're hired.
00:16:06That's fantastic news. Thank you.
00:16:09One little request.
00:16:11Instead of just the image consulting job,
00:16:13we will double your fee if you join me on the show as a co-host.
00:16:18Hmm. That's funny, Patrick. Are we on the air?
00:16:21Nope. So, is it a deal?
00:16:25No.
00:16:27No?
00:16:29Look, I appreciate the vote of confidence,
00:16:31but I have zero interest in becoming a radio host.
00:16:34Well, it wouldn't be a host, per se.
00:16:36More of a trial run as a side act.
00:16:40You're really selling this here.
00:16:43Listen, I've got my own priorities.
00:16:45What priorities? Face cream?
00:16:47Patrick, I'd be flattered to take the consulting gig,
00:16:49but no thanks to the show.
00:16:51We had such a connection, Savannah.
00:16:54I need to go.
00:16:56I thought you wanted this gig.
00:16:58I do, but we are taking a tour of a school,
00:17:00and work does not interfere with my daughter.
00:17:02Okay, let's close this deal now.
00:17:04I can talk tomorrow.
00:17:06Bye.
00:17:08Savannah!
00:17:17We also have a rooftop greenhouse,
00:17:19historic chapel,
00:17:21and new this year is a resident archaeologist.
00:17:24Of course, all this is to prepare students
00:17:27for the wonderful world they'll inherit.
00:17:29Of course.
00:17:31Contact me if you have any further questions.
00:17:33The tuition?
00:17:35Last page. Hope to see you in the fall.
00:17:38Mom, what are we doing here?
00:17:40You don't like it?
00:17:42This is for rich kids.
00:17:44Not if you get a scholarship.
00:17:46Oh, I guess they gotta pay for Indiana Jones somehow.
00:17:47Why would they want me?
00:17:49Who wouldn't want you?
00:17:51You are smart.
00:17:53You have top percentile test scores.
00:17:55They give scholarships to people like you.
00:17:57But places like this open doors for the rest of your life.
00:17:59Did you ever get a scholarship?
00:18:01I went to public schools,
00:18:03but I was not as smart as you are.
00:18:05Hey, if you were here,
00:18:07and you could study anything in the world,
00:18:09what would it be?
00:18:11Zoology?
00:18:13Zoology? I thought you liked English.
00:18:15That was last week.
00:18:17You gotta come in here like you already know
00:18:19what you want to do. Like, driven.
00:18:21Okay? Alright.
00:18:25Hey.
00:18:27Morning.
00:18:29Hi.
00:18:31That was my coffee.
00:18:33Whatever bodega sludge that was, this is better.
00:18:35You'll thank me later.
00:18:37Is there half and half?
00:18:43Mmm.
00:18:45So, how was the school?
00:18:47I'll talk, Patrick.
00:18:49You're being friendly.
00:18:51I'm establishing boundaries.
00:18:53What did you want to discuss?
00:18:55Okay, so, the consulting gig and the co-hosting
00:18:57are kind of a package deal.
00:18:59Mmm, then no. Sorry.
00:19:01You said you wanted the gig.
00:19:03Sure, but I don't need it.
00:19:05What is so wrong with co-hosting?
00:19:07You are so off-brand for me.
00:19:10You mean your New Age yoga stuff?
00:19:13Listen, the last thing I need right now
00:19:15is something that's going to pull me away from my vlog,
00:19:17my followers, and muddle my brand.
00:19:19What if we tripled your fee?
00:19:25Thanks for the coffee, Patrick.
00:19:27Okay, what if we connected you to advertisers,
00:19:29promoted your vlog on the show,
00:19:32and got you serious exposure?
00:19:36Why are you so desperate?
00:19:38Ugh.
00:19:41They think my show needs a makeover.
00:19:45Yeah, it does.
00:19:48Listeners liked you,
00:19:50and management, for reasons that I cannot fathom,
00:19:52approved you.
00:19:55But do you want me?
00:19:58I don't have a choice.
00:20:00I wouldn't have time for my vlog.
00:20:02I will find you an interview.
00:20:03I will help you.
00:20:05Shoot, edit, find sponsors.
00:20:08Free labor.
00:20:12You'd have to allow me adequate time per week.
00:20:15Fine.
00:20:17And the show would have to align closer to my own brand.
00:20:19We'd have to agree on a guest list.
00:20:21Oh, come on.
00:20:23Ugh.
00:20:25This is my worst nightmare.
00:20:27Really?
00:20:29You should meditate on that.
00:20:30I'm going to help you, Patrick.
00:20:32For the record, this is not life coaching.
00:20:34This is just image consulting.
00:20:39Thanks for the coffee.
00:20:41It's good.
00:20:43It's perfect.
00:20:45Was that you on the Patrick Dillon show?
00:20:48Please come in.
00:20:50Uh, yes.
00:20:52What were you doing on his show?
00:20:54It's a side gig.
00:20:56But are you upset that I'm working?
00:20:58No, no.
00:20:59I am happy for you.
00:21:01I'm not happy for you.
00:21:03I'm not happy for you.
00:21:05I'm not happy for you.
00:21:07I'm not happy for you.
00:21:09I'm not happy for you.
00:21:11I'm not happy for you.
00:21:12Are you upset that I'm working?
00:21:14No, no.
00:21:16I am happy for you.
00:21:18But also, how did you get the account?
00:21:20You know, never mind.
00:21:22More importantly, the chemistry that was in the air
00:21:24all of New York could hear.
00:21:26There was no chemistry.
00:21:28No?
00:21:29No.
00:21:31It was tingling with electricity,
00:21:33like styrofoam stuck to a cat.
00:21:35He was doing his fake radio charm.
00:21:37I was trying to get a job.
00:21:39By flirting?
00:21:40I don't know about sex, but do tell.
00:21:43Why are you here?
00:21:45I am here to check in on you.
00:21:48And your life is obviously awesome.
00:21:51No.
00:21:52He may sound nice, but he is anything but.
00:21:54He is pretentious.
00:21:55He's pushy.
00:21:56He dresses like the landed gentry.
00:21:57What is it with that deep voice?
00:21:59They add a filter.
00:22:00No.
00:22:01Yes.
00:22:02And he is the opposite of wellness.
00:22:04He's this mental gymnastics man.
00:22:06If you say so.
00:22:08They're mother-daughter journals.
00:22:11So cute.
00:22:14I rarely find time with Kim.
00:22:16But that's what the park passports were for.
00:22:18You know,
00:22:20I'm actually doing a mother-daughter vlog episode
00:22:22on quality time together.
00:22:24My mom helped me make these prototypes.
00:22:26They're designed to promote wellness
00:22:27and foster creativity.
00:22:29It's basically a mindfulness journal for parents
00:22:31and a confidence builder for kids
00:22:32disguised as a productivity tool.
00:22:34You should use it.
00:22:35With Kim.
00:22:37No, I would love your feedback.
00:22:39I need testers.
00:22:41I really want to sell it for my vlog one day.
00:22:43I wish you told me about this
00:22:44while we were working together.
00:22:46I feel like I wasn't a good friend.
00:22:48No.
00:22:50I was worried that you'd think
00:22:51I wasn't 100% about the job.
00:22:53Which I was, which was also the problem.
00:22:56Well, I'm glad that you're doing this.
00:22:58And I'm happy I get to be a better friend now.
00:23:01Yes, boss.
00:23:08Why is all the furniture weird?
00:23:14This is a big question mark.
00:23:17Oh, you can sit on it.
00:23:20Oh, it's uncomfortable.
00:23:22Yeah, it's a statement piece.
00:23:25But where do you watch TV in your pajamas?
00:23:30My mom's picking her up soon.
00:23:32Oh, look.
00:23:33Oh, that is a Louis Braun.
00:23:35It's a play on Kazimir Milovich's suprematism.
00:23:38I could totally paint it.
00:23:40She actually did paint that this morning.
00:23:42But this is brilliant
00:23:44in questions representation itself.
00:23:46Who cares?
00:23:52It's been a while since I've been around kids.
00:23:54Maybe you could use
00:23:55some unfiltered honesty more often.
00:23:58Ooh.
00:24:00I like that.
00:24:02Ooh.
00:24:04Careful, Fanny Mendelssohn.
00:24:07How about...
00:24:09Let's try this.
00:24:11Here we go.
00:24:17I'm a puppet.
00:24:21Are we going to work?
00:24:23Oh, jeez, the boss is back.
00:24:25Boo.
00:24:32So, the network has given us a couple weeks
00:24:34to find the new version of the show,
00:24:36which will launch after the mid-season hiatus.
00:24:40Forwarding you the branding parameters.
00:24:42Just look over those now.
00:24:45Where's your phone?
00:24:47I'm doing a digital detox.
00:24:49I'm not using my phone for the day.
00:24:51Why?
00:24:53Wellness.
00:24:55It's a vlog episode I have coming up.
00:24:57Do you want me to send it to you?
00:24:59No.
00:25:01Print you out a hard copy?
00:25:03Don't hurt the trees.
00:25:05Look out there.
00:25:09Here.
00:25:11Try these.
00:25:13Oh, they're heavy.
00:25:15That means they're expensive.
00:25:17Let me know when you see the United Nations building.
00:25:19You can't see it from here.
00:25:21Keep it busy.
00:25:24So, I looked over the guest list.
00:25:26Impressive, huh?
00:25:28Am I interrupting?
00:25:29No, continue.
00:25:32So, for the show, I was thinking...
00:25:34Sorry.
00:25:38So, I was thinking for the show...
00:25:40Oh, sorry.
00:25:42Your guest list doesn't work for me.
00:25:44Your guest list doesn't work for me.
00:25:46Why not?
00:25:48I'm not going to undercut the sophistication of my show.
00:25:50I'm expanding it.
00:25:52With random mothers.
00:25:54Single mom entrepreneurs.
00:25:56Who nobody's ever heard of.
00:25:57I want to connect with normal people.
00:25:59Like my vlog audience.
00:26:01Normal, huh?
00:26:03I can't find it.
00:26:05Keep looking.
00:26:07So, the rebranding proposals that I sent you...
00:26:09Those don't work for me.
00:26:11You're being stubborn.
00:26:13Look who's talking.
00:26:15Can I have my phone back, please?
00:26:17I've got a million things to do.
00:26:19Let's see.
00:26:21Okay.
00:26:24Mom, this is Patrick.
00:26:25Patrick, this is my mother, Amy.
00:26:27I am a big fan.
00:26:29She isn't.
00:26:31Can I get a tour?
00:26:33My mom was just about to leave.
00:26:35I'm leaving.
00:26:39Can I ask for a favor?
00:26:42Be the voice on my answering machine.
00:26:48Hello, this is Patrick Dillon from Spreading the News.
00:26:52You've reached Amy Joy's phone.
00:26:53She's out living life and breaking hearts.
00:26:56Please leave a message and she will get back to you soon.
00:26:59Cheers.
00:27:01Thank you so much. You are the best.
00:27:03Anytime.
00:27:05Anything else? Cocktail?
00:27:07Just be nice to him.
00:27:09Bye, babe.
00:27:11Bye.
00:27:15Come on, Ellie.
00:27:17Hi, thank you for calling me back.
00:27:19Hi, I'm looking for waffle robe samples
00:27:21to review for my wellness blog.
00:27:23Now, I don't have 30,000 followers yet.
00:27:25Minimum 30,000 followers.
00:27:27Well, I'm almost there.
00:27:29Do you work with influencers?
00:27:31I'm a single mother doing a blog post
00:27:33on secrets of a good night's sleep
00:27:35and I'll be on Spreading the News
00:27:37with Patrick Dillon soon.
00:27:39Okay, I understand.
00:27:41Thank you for your time.
00:27:43Yeah, I'd love to tell you more.
00:27:44Sure.
00:27:50Mom?
00:27:54Sorry, Mom's a little tired today.
00:27:57You didn't post today.
00:27:59I was busy with Patrick's stuff,
00:28:01but I'll post tomorrow.
00:28:04What are we filming?
00:28:06We are journaling before bed.
00:28:11But you need me to hold the camera.
00:28:13I'll be fine.
00:28:15You can help me tomorrow.
00:28:23Let's make some tea.
00:28:32Hi, welcome back to
00:28:34Finding the Me Between the Beauty and the Mess.
00:28:36I'm Savannah Joy, and in this video
00:28:38I'll be reviewing essential oils.
00:28:43What am I doing?
00:28:58What do you wear on the weekend?
00:29:00What, you expect me to interview
00:29:02the titans of business in a t-shirt?
00:29:04You're not negotiating with me.
00:29:06I'm not negotiating with you.
00:29:08I'm negotiating with you.
00:29:09The titans of business in a t-shirt?
00:29:11You're not negotiating trade deals.
00:29:14Style is confidence.
00:29:16It says,
00:29:18I'm on your level.
00:29:20Are you saying that for them or for you?
00:29:22Let them feel powerful over you.
00:29:24They'll open up more.
00:29:26There's a reason why politicians
00:29:28take off their ties and roll up their sleeves.
00:29:30It sets the tone.
00:29:32I'm not talking in a Ford factory.
00:29:34We are doing a reverse Cinderella on you.
00:29:36You can still be classy, but approachable.
00:29:38Add some jeans.
00:29:43Trust me.
00:29:55You look normal.
00:29:57Is that a compliment?
00:29:59Actually handsome.
00:30:01Actually?
00:30:03So much better without the tie.
00:30:05Much less uptight.
00:30:08Ah.
00:30:16Your body language is closed.
00:30:22You're not watching the game on the couch.
00:30:24Do you know the people that I have interviewed?
00:30:26You've always been invisible on the air,
00:30:28but not to the person you're talking to.
00:30:30I get it.
00:30:32You've never been subject to scrutiny
00:30:34the way you might have been if you'd been on camera,
00:30:35but you're subject to this subconsciously.
00:30:37I'm behind a desk.
00:30:39I could be pantsless.
00:30:41I do interviews in a dark booth.
00:30:43I want to talk about that, too.
00:30:45Look, I do not have time to psychoanalyze
00:30:47my leg placement.
00:30:49This interview is in two hours.
00:30:51Maybe we just pick it up, figure it out on the fly?
00:30:53Yeah, okay.
00:30:55I've got stuff I have to do, too.
00:31:02I find the Oscars more of a pageant
00:31:03for the masses to experience glamour
00:31:05rather than an award for the truly best anything.
00:31:10Ahem.
00:31:12I mean, when I was last there with my friend Leo,
00:31:15I found the red carpet line so slow.
00:31:17I mean, they don't tell you how long it's gonna be.
00:31:25So, Zoe, I love that Falafel Hut commercial you were in.
00:31:29My daughter laughs at it every time.
00:31:31You know, the one where you say,
00:31:33I'm too full, I falafel.
00:31:35You know, you feel awful.
00:31:41You weren't in that commercial.
00:31:44Are you talking about Zoe Martin, the comedian?
00:31:49I'm so sorry.
00:31:51They don't even look alike.
00:31:53Maybe she had a wig on, you know, movie magic.
00:31:59I'm sorry, I'm new at this.
00:32:00I, uh, I just quit my job,
00:32:02and now I'm here all of a sudden, co-hosting.
00:32:04You know, fake it till you make it, right?
00:32:06Okay, Zoe is an Oscar-winning actress, Savannah,
00:32:09with two Emmys and extensive theatre credits.
00:32:12You don't have to fake anything.
00:32:14You are an amazing actress.
00:32:16Although I'm sure you could fake whatever you want if you had to.
00:32:18You know, the last time I conducted an interview
00:32:21was for my Science Camp magazine when I was 14.
00:32:23I was a little nerdy then, but, you know, who wasn't?
00:32:25And it was really good for college credits,
00:32:27and my mom was super into padding her resume,
00:32:28and I hope my college admissions people aren't listening,
00:32:30you know what I'm saying?
00:32:32Uh, you two are looking at me, and this feels awkward.
00:32:34Is this awkward?
00:32:36Patrick, get in there!
00:32:38Would you like to confess to anything else?
00:32:44I'm sorry, I was just trying to lower the stuffiness.
00:32:48Oh, you mean the elevated conversation?
00:32:50Uh, more like name-dropping.
00:32:52Oh, please.
00:32:54Waxing poetic on the Oscars.
00:32:56Maybe you could write a haiku about it.
00:32:58Oh, of course, Patrick.
00:33:00I forgot you're not a man, you're a radio god.
00:33:02Maybe we could talk about holistic candles instead.
00:33:04Said no one ever.
00:33:06We have spent the last half hour pontificating about Hollywood
00:33:08rather than try to learn anything about her.
00:33:10Well, we learned she doesn't do falafel commercials.
00:33:12I'm just trying to be real, Patrick,
00:33:14and I think your audience deserves that.
00:33:16Okay, let's be real.
00:33:18You didn't do the research,
00:33:20which is the first priority for any interviewer.
00:33:22I was busy, and you didn't share your notes.
00:33:24Busy? Doing what?
00:33:26Huh? Doing what, Savannah?
00:33:28Having an important puberty conversation
00:33:30with my daughter.
00:33:32Okay, yeah, I'm a single mom, self-employed.
00:33:34What did you do last night, Patrick, huh?
00:33:36Google yourself?
00:33:38Okay, you know you've done that, too.
00:33:43Okay.
00:33:45We're going to take a quick commercial break.
00:33:47And in the meantime, please check out
00:33:49Savannah's wellness vlog,
00:33:51Finding the Me Between the Beauty and the Mess.
00:33:58Nice.
00:34:00Hmm.
00:34:09So you two didn't compare notes.
00:34:11You didn't practice.
00:34:13I blame you for not coaching her better.
00:34:15Arisha!
00:34:17You're not taking this seriously.
00:34:19Okay, it is obvious that this experiment isn't working.
00:34:21Let's just go back to the old format.
00:34:23There is no going back, Patrick.
00:34:25We're not at number one anymore.
00:34:27To still be on the radio in this day and age
00:34:29with so much competition,
00:34:31you need broad appeal to justify the airwaves.
00:34:34She is your only hope,
00:34:36and you're sabotaging it.
00:34:39And you, what?
00:34:41I expected better from you.
00:34:44I thought you'd never give up.
00:34:49We're going to air reruns this week,
00:34:51and then you two just figure this out.
00:34:52You two just figure this out.
00:35:11I listened to the show today.
00:35:13I've been hired by a man who refuses to be helped.
00:35:17I thought the point of the show was to promote the vlog.
00:35:19I'm getting there.
00:35:21Or what if he does more harm than good for your brand?
00:35:23I know.
00:35:25You could quit.
00:35:28You know, I know you take pride in your work ethic.
00:35:31No, it's not that.
00:35:33I signed a contract.
00:35:35Oh.
00:35:37Look, I'm handling it.
00:35:39I can catch up on vlog episodes this week.
00:35:43I want to add a give back section.
00:35:45I think it would be a good mother-daughter activity.
00:35:47Hmm.
00:35:49I agree.
00:36:20So, I see you know how to pick a spot.
00:36:23You ready to go?
00:36:25We need to start working on the show.
00:36:27Sure, but as you can see,
00:36:29you have to work on my schedule now.
00:36:31No, you heard Alicia.
00:36:33The deadline's next week.
00:36:35We always spend Saturdays at the park,
00:36:37and I have my vlog work to do.
00:36:39We don't have time for park play.
00:36:41There's always time.
00:36:43I'm sorry.
00:36:45I'm sorry.
00:36:47I'm sorry.
00:36:49No, there isn't.
00:36:51You just have to choose to make time.
00:36:53Yeah, that's cute on a T-shirt,
00:36:55but that's not true.
00:36:57You promised, Patrick.
00:36:59That was part of the deal.
00:37:01This is why I became a wellness entrepreneur.
00:37:03Self-care and family first.
00:37:06Want to play?
00:37:08Yeah, why not?
00:37:12You do this every Saturday?
00:37:14Yep.
00:37:16What else do you guys do?
00:37:17Museums.
00:37:19Meditation.
00:37:21Creative day.
00:37:23Exploration days.
00:37:25Like walking around a new neighborhood
00:37:27or trying a new restaurant.
00:37:29There isn't always time,
00:37:31but it is a matter of prioritizing.
00:37:33I decided that this was important to me.
00:37:35What's important to you?
00:37:37Work.
00:37:39Yeah, but work for what end?
00:37:41Just what I've always done.
00:37:43Are you happy?
00:37:45Yeah.
00:37:47You'd know for sure if you used one of these.
00:37:49You track what you're doing, your goals,
00:37:51and then you can look back over a long period
00:37:53and see your state of mind.
00:37:55Like where you spend your time,
00:37:57what's important to you.
00:37:59Your mom subject you to this torture?
00:38:01Yeah.
00:38:03But I like it.
00:38:07So, we're going to do some work?
00:38:09Yes.
00:38:11You will record.
00:38:13Record what?
00:38:15Vlog episodes.
00:38:17We have four to shoot this week thanks to you.
00:38:19Come on, it'll be fun.
00:38:21Ugh.
00:38:23Boring, boring, boring.
00:38:25Boring, boring, boring.
00:38:27Boring, boring, boring.
00:38:29Hey!
00:38:31Okay, wow.
00:38:33Wow, you two really laid on thick
00:38:35with this peer pressure.
00:38:37Okay, what are we shooting first?
00:38:38You go first.
00:38:50Hold my hand,
00:38:52glittery sticks.
00:38:54Shine your light
00:38:56till the darkness wins.
00:39:00Real milk,
00:39:02because I can't spell it like milk.
00:39:04There's oat, there's almond,
00:39:06there's cashew, there's...
00:39:08Excuse me, thank you.
00:39:22Finally got you out of that jacket.
00:39:27Every month, mom makes me pick a job to learn about.
00:39:30This month's architect.
00:39:32Do you have a favorite building?
00:39:34I don't know.
00:39:36Have you looked at different building styles?
00:39:39Okay, well, let me show you.
00:39:41Over here,
00:39:43see, this church is built in the Gothic style.
00:39:46As you can tell,
00:39:48the architect was inspired by that
00:39:50when they built these big arches.
00:39:52I love this style.
00:39:54It's just big, fun,
00:39:56all different kinds of buildings around.
00:39:58It's easy to find your favorite.
00:40:00And over there,
00:40:02that's called Art Deco.
00:40:03Art Deco.
00:40:07I don't know how you do it.
00:40:09Working for eight hours a week for no pay.
00:40:11On call, 24 hours a day.
00:40:14And yet, thriving.
00:40:17Being a mother.
00:40:19Toughest job there is.
00:40:22Well, I get paid in happiness.
00:40:24Just seeing her.
00:40:26It isn't always easy.
00:40:28It started out in complete chaos.
00:40:30Oh, yeah?
00:40:32I suddenly found myself
00:40:34a single mother and ill-equipped.
00:40:36My wellness vlog was a matter
00:40:38of self-preservation at first.
00:40:40I was just looking for tips
00:40:42on how to survive from other single mothers.
00:40:44But when I witnessed the support from others,
00:40:47it became my obsession.
00:40:49I would,
00:40:51not only was I helping myself,
00:40:53but I was helping others.
00:40:55People like me juggling family and professional life
00:40:57just want to know the how.
00:40:59How people who have made it
00:41:01figured it out.
00:41:03How they managed to thrive amidst the drama.
00:41:05I mean, that's interesting
00:41:07to every New Yorker, I think.
00:41:09I built a successful show for years
00:41:11because I gave people a window
00:41:13into a world they can't access.
00:41:15The elite?
00:41:17Yeah, people don't want to see
00:41:19movies about normal people.
00:41:21They want to escape.
00:41:23They want inspirational entertainment.
00:41:25Normal people can inspire.
00:41:27Yeah, I mean,
00:41:29I see where you're coming from.
00:41:31But they don't listen to my show anymore.
00:41:36I had fun today.
00:41:40See? Slowing down helps.
00:41:42Not for a day.
00:41:44You should try journaling.
00:41:46Well, it's been a nice waste of time.
00:41:48Well, I'm glad I could be
00:41:50your life coach for the day.
00:41:52And thank you
00:41:54for holding up your end of the bargain
00:41:56and helping today.
00:41:58And I will have a list
00:41:59of my favorite movies.
00:42:01Value.
00:42:03You're leaving?
00:42:05Sadly.
00:42:08Oh.
00:42:10This is Bart's.
00:42:13I think you mean Beaux-Arts.
00:42:17It's beautiful.
00:42:21What do I put here?
00:42:23Your essay.
00:42:25It says, Who Do You Admire?
00:42:27Do you know who you're going to write about?
00:42:29No.
00:42:31Well, you seemed
00:42:33to like Amelia Earhart
00:42:35when we researched her.
00:42:37I guess.
00:42:39Who do you think I should write about?
00:42:41Well, that's up to you.
00:42:43I can't help you with this.
00:42:45Parents are not allowed.
00:42:47I need to think about it.
00:42:49This is a lot.
00:42:51Is Patrick helping with more vlog episodes?
00:42:54Well, somebody's got to hold the camera
00:42:56if you're not.
00:42:57I can let him.
00:43:12Hi.
00:43:16You ready?
00:43:18I...
00:43:20got you something.
00:43:22You know the way to a girl's heart.
00:43:24I talked to the station's tech guy
00:43:26so you could up your vlog game.
00:43:29I mean, all the influencers are using
00:43:31proper lights these days.
00:43:33I know. I was planning to upgrade.
00:43:35Well, the station was just going to
00:43:37get rid of this stuff, so
00:43:39it's yours.
00:43:41Patrick, I can't accept that...
00:43:43Oh, that's a gift from me.
00:43:45You didn't have to buy me one.
00:43:47Oh, I didn't, actually.
00:43:48The other day, I almost accidentally
00:43:50chucked it into the pond.
00:43:57Well, this is really just a ruse
00:43:59to help you shoot faster
00:44:01so you can spend more time working on the show.
00:44:03Always an agenda.
00:44:06It's gone.
00:44:14You need to practice with normal New Yorkers,
00:44:16not just people concerned
00:44:18about your collaboration.
00:44:20What are we doing here?
00:44:22I'm going to give you a challenge.
00:44:24Make a person smile.
00:44:26Easy. I can make anyone laugh.
00:44:28No, the goal isn't to tell a joke.
00:44:30It's to charm and connect on a real level.
00:44:32Look, you're out of your booth,
00:44:34you're vulnerable,
00:44:36and you've got to be vulnerable to connect.
00:44:38Show me what you got.
00:44:40Excuse me, sir.
00:44:42Can I ask you a...
00:44:44Uh, hi.
00:44:46Can I just talk to you for a minute?
00:44:48Excuse me.
00:44:50I just want to ask you a question.
00:44:52A poll with my friend here.
00:44:54Do you collect anything?
00:44:56Pincushions.
00:44:58I know it makes me sound like an old lady.
00:45:00What about them do you like?
00:45:02I don't know.
00:45:04My aunt I love collects them,
00:45:06and they're so silly cute.
00:45:08Do you have a favorite?
00:45:10A porcupine one.
00:45:12I love it when people are passionate about stuff,
00:45:14you know, no matter how small.
00:45:16I even have an Instagram page for them.
00:45:19Patrick Dillon,
00:45:21not waxing poetic about trendy things.
00:45:23That was fast.
00:45:25Just asked her about something I know she'd love.
00:45:27Easy smile.
00:45:29Ah, so you got her to talk about something genuine.
00:45:31Yeah, yeah, you made your point.
00:45:33I'm just trying to get you to flex your old muscle memory.
00:45:35Also, don't cross your arms so much.
00:45:38Wait a second.
00:45:40Are you actually listening to me?
00:45:42You know what?
00:45:44You should join me.
00:45:45Yes, you, you could use the practice.
00:45:47I dare you
00:45:49to get someone to tell you
00:45:51a deeply personal story.
00:45:53Get them to cry.
00:45:55Oh.
00:45:57Come on, team up.
00:46:01She followed me everywhere.
00:46:03We were inseparable.
00:46:05We had such fun times.
00:46:09But there was another side.
00:46:11Hurtful.
00:46:12I understand.
00:46:14A lot of these relationships,
00:46:16they have such extreme highs and lows,
00:46:18and the lows can be brutal.
00:46:20She would scratch me.
00:46:22Torment me.
00:46:24When I left, I felt...
00:46:27Relieved?
00:46:29But were you happy?
00:46:31No.
00:46:33She was a good cat.
00:46:35Real affectionate kitten.
00:46:37And I loved her.
00:46:39I loved her.
00:46:40Real affectionate kitten.
00:46:42But growing up on the farm,
00:46:44alone,
00:46:46the only kid for miles...
00:46:48She was your only friend.
00:46:51Yeah.
00:46:54A pleasure talking to you folks.
00:47:03Well, that was the most intense conversation about a cat.
00:47:07You were connecting.
00:47:08Right?
00:47:10Wow.
00:47:25Did you always want to work in radio?
00:47:28Oh, gosh.
00:47:30No, I used to be a serious print journalist.
00:47:33Yeah, the times.
00:47:35Really?
00:47:36Mm-hmm.
00:47:38I did profiles.
00:47:40I was fascinated by people.
00:47:43And then, one day I'm doing a profile on a DJ,
00:47:46W-A-J-E,
00:47:48and the producer invites me to do an interview on air.
00:47:51Well, it turns out,
00:47:53I have a talent for disarming guests.
00:47:56New York loved it.
00:47:58Now, how did you go from that to interviewing socialites?
00:48:02Well, you know, I was good at asking hard questions
00:48:04to the rich and powerful because of my profiles.
00:48:07They didn't scare me.
00:48:09Uh, so the station asked me to dive deeper into that,
00:48:12and I did.
00:48:14In every which way,
00:48:16including my life.
00:48:18Which was good for promoting my brand
00:48:20and networking with guests.
00:48:22Makes sense.
00:48:24Yeah, but...
00:48:27eventually it became me.
00:48:30Started dating a stylist,
00:48:32started playing the role.
00:48:34And when my ex-fiancé left me,
00:48:36the show was the only thing I had on the air and off.
00:48:40I'm sorry.
00:48:42Oh, it wasn't meant to be.
00:48:44It was for the better. Believe me.
00:48:46You know,
00:48:49I used to have real conversations with guests.
00:48:52I did.
00:48:54And then the station wanted me to have this
00:48:57elitist slant,
00:48:59which now, apparently, they want me to shed.
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:04How about you?
00:49:06Happy with the way you see yourself now?
00:49:08I felt stuck the last couple years.
00:49:11My blog and my journal both stalled,
00:49:14but shooting the other day,
00:49:17it feels like I finally have momentum
00:49:20and it feels amazing.
00:49:22We're gonna promote that on the show.
00:49:30I should go.
00:49:32Yeah.
00:49:34Me too.
00:49:36Yeah, Ellie's probably tired of my mom.
00:49:38Yeah, I have a phone.
00:49:40E-mails. E-mails.
00:49:42Right.
00:49:44Business stuff.
00:49:46Okay, thank you for...
00:49:48Oh, yeah.
00:49:50These are amazing.
00:49:52Yeah.
00:49:59Him?
00:50:01Yeah.
00:50:06I rarely do penthouse renovations under eight figures.
00:50:09Billionaires don't want something someone else has.
00:50:12They want the impossible.
00:50:14But how do you work with clients who don't understand compromise?
00:50:17Well, first of all, we don't use that C-word.
00:50:20Okay, but what do you say to someone
00:50:22who's always used to getting their way?
00:50:24Look, this is the art of dreams.
00:50:27And if they pay, I do.
00:50:29Okay, but I don't...
00:50:31I mean, if you just...
00:50:33I'm sorry, you guys.
00:50:35No, no, no, please, please, go ahead.
00:50:37You guys are adorable.
00:50:40Just kidding, just kidding.
00:50:51What was that?
00:50:53It was so slow, I wanted to pull the fire alarm.
00:50:57Why was it awkward like two teenagers?
00:51:01Are you two hooking up?
00:51:04Definitely not.
00:51:06No, definitely not. No.
00:51:09So then what's the angle?
00:51:11What's the show, Patrick?
00:51:14We haven't figured it out yet.
00:51:17So I have no proposed branding from you two yet.
00:51:20No act structure, no guest list.
00:51:23You two can't act like an interviewing team
00:51:26unless you have tone and format, and you know this.
00:51:29What's the issue?
00:51:31This is my fault.
00:51:34I was slowing us down, but we're on the same page now.
00:51:37Can you just give us a little bit more time, please?
00:51:41Nail this rebrand by next week
00:51:43for the start of the second half of the season,
00:51:45or be canceled.
00:51:48That's a bit harsh.
00:51:50It's not my call.
00:51:52There are plenty of up-and-coming podcasters
00:51:55with millions of followers already
00:51:57that the 10th floor would love to take a chance on.
00:52:02Okay.
00:52:13Is she always like that?
00:52:15Don't you have an episode you need to edit and post?
00:52:18No, we're going to figure this out first.
00:52:22Maybe we should do what I always do when I'm stuck.
00:52:25Take a break.
00:52:27Right. The opposite of work.
00:52:28No, mindfulness will lead to inspiration.
00:52:32Okay, what's the plan then?
00:52:36Yeah.
00:52:38Come on.
00:52:47Love this city.
00:52:49Me too.
00:52:51There's a patina of frustration from living atop each other
00:52:54that covers the entire city, but
00:52:55scratch that off,
00:52:57there is a beautiful story around each corner.
00:53:01Look who's being a poet.
00:53:03That's how I feel.
00:53:05You don't get that hiding away in a loft.
00:53:07No, you definitely don't.
00:53:09Maybe we need to push the corny poet in you
00:53:12to find the angle.
00:53:14How about you show me your New York?
00:53:16Well,
00:53:18mindfulness leads to real change.
00:53:22You stole that from my post.
00:53:25Are you stalking me?
00:53:27No, I've been journaling.
00:53:30Come on.
00:53:32I've got a surprise for you tomorrow.
00:53:43So, as promised,
00:53:45I found your potential sponsor for your vlog.
00:53:47Who is it?
00:53:49The world's largest online wellness retailer,
00:53:51Boutique Thrive.
00:53:53I don't trust them.
00:53:55Whether it's availability or ingredient-wise.
00:53:57Yeah, you can ask them about it.
00:53:59Do you know they sell glitter-infused face masks?
00:54:01Microplastics pollute the water and they harm your skin.
00:54:04It's all just for social media photos.
00:54:06Okay, no glitter. What's wrong?
00:54:08I should have told you,
00:54:10but I'm a few days into a juice cleanse detox for the vlog.
00:54:13You had to pick a lunch meeting?
00:54:15How was I supposed to know?
00:54:17Just don't eat anything.
00:54:19Do you know how hard that is?
00:54:22Just, just chat with her.
00:54:23And try to be your normal, charming self?
00:54:27Yeah, okay.
00:54:29I'm just a little bit hangry.
00:54:31And if she wants to talk about glitter masks,
00:54:33we can talk about glitter masks.
00:54:35I am not discussing glitter masks.
00:54:41Hi.
00:54:44We love working with influencers.
00:54:47Have you seen our new My Glitter Masks?
00:54:49Your followers will love them?
00:54:52I don't recommend anything to my followers that I don't believe in.
00:54:55They trust me.
00:54:57Oh, no, no, of course not.
00:54:59No, no, no, no, no.
00:55:01All we're asking is that you review our masks
00:55:04and, and recommend the best.
00:55:06It's, it's not an endorsement.
00:55:08Do you test on animals?
00:55:10No.
00:55:12What about your lack of sustainability in aloe production?
00:55:15I'm sure whatever report is watered down.
00:55:17Uh, thank you so much for talking with us, Charlotte.
00:55:20Oh.
00:55:22Wow.
00:55:33Thanks, Charlotte.
00:55:37I'm sorry.
00:55:39I want to promote things that people need,
00:55:41not push products, especially products that I don't care about.
00:55:43You know, you could grow your audience with Boutique Thrive.
00:55:45You could do whatever you want.
00:55:47Your own products, collaborations.
00:55:49No one will remember Glitter Masks.
00:55:52I am not sacrificing my principles just to make it.
00:55:55It's not that bad.
00:55:57Look, they may not be perfect,
00:55:59but I have a list of sponsors who will pay you well enough
00:56:02that you can ditch the image consulting
00:56:05and focus full-time on your blog.
00:56:08I need to do this my way, Patrick.
00:56:11Even if that takes years.
00:56:13If that.
00:56:16Ahem.
00:56:18What?
00:56:20Oh, bread is so good.
00:56:23Let's order you some food.
00:56:25And then, let me go over the analytics that the advertisers care about.
00:56:29You little devil.
00:56:38Yeah, that's where the older kids played stickball.
00:56:42By the time I was old enough, nobody played.
00:56:45And...
00:56:47there...
00:56:49is my window.
00:56:54My parents moved to Denver,
00:56:56but I still know people in the neighborhood.
00:56:59You don't come around much, do you?
00:57:02No.
00:57:04Well, you have a better view these days.
00:57:06Yeah, but...
00:57:08less heart.
00:57:10You know, I used to hang out at my dad's bookshop,
00:57:12chatting with customers,
00:57:13talk to a lot of strangers as a kid.
00:57:17You know, my parents, they...
00:57:19never cared about the latest fashion collaboration
00:57:22or the new restaurant opening.
00:57:24Didn't matter how you dressed, as long as you wore pants.
00:57:27Well, it looks like you made them proud.
00:57:29Uh...
00:57:31yeah, maybe.
00:57:34I know what we should do.
00:57:44All right, come on, Patty.
00:57:46We ain't got all day.
00:57:48Can't rush perfection.
00:57:50Oh, yeah?
00:57:52Pat.
00:58:06You're out.
00:58:08You didn't tag me.
00:58:10Wait.
00:58:11Patty!
00:58:13Home, home, home, home, home, home, home!
00:58:17Remember the first thing I asked you?
00:58:19How do you see yourself?
00:58:21Somewhere between here and Manhattan.
00:58:24Guess I didn't go far.
00:58:26But you went high.
00:58:29Where do you see yourself?
00:58:32Still finding the me between the beauty and the mess.
00:58:36All I know is that I found my passion
00:58:38when I was just trying to make my everyday life work.
00:58:42What if that's it?
00:58:44What do you mean?
00:58:46Don't focus on how guests made it
00:58:48or what got them to where they are,
00:58:50but instead on their personal root memories, their upbringing,
00:58:52what made them people to begin with,
00:58:54like us here today.
00:58:56And then we'll understand their passion
00:58:58and how they managed to make their everyday lives work
00:59:00amidst the chaos of what they do.
00:59:02Maybe.
00:59:04A requirement is that they bring a family member or a friend,
00:59:06someone who knows them well.
00:59:08I mean, that would be a different dynamic
00:59:09than the interview normally has.
00:59:11We could even interview them live in their own home.
00:59:13Or place of work.
00:59:15We can do that, right?
00:59:17Why not?
00:59:19Our guest list could be elite, self-made people.
00:59:22We could have single mother entrepreneurs on there, too.
00:59:26I think we've got some work to do.
00:59:29And plenty of vlog episodes to shoot.
00:59:32Of course.
00:59:34Of course.
00:59:36Yeah, but will we bring her with our children?
00:59:39I mean, the gymnast maybe,
00:59:42but the other one I don't think would be radio quality.
00:59:47You need one of these.
00:59:49You don't like mine?
00:59:51No.
00:59:53Is it a bit harsh?
00:59:55I believe the term's unfiltered honesty.
00:59:59Do you like my hands?
01:00:01You had them last time.
01:00:03I don't...
01:00:09Psst.
01:00:11Mm-hmm.
01:00:13Oh, this one.
01:00:15Everybody keeps saying that Graham Campbell is available.
01:00:18No.
01:00:20Yes, yes, we're definitely integrated, Greg.
01:00:24Southern Bordeaux wine.
01:00:27Actually, the minerality of this dish is what really ties it in.
01:00:30I would keep quiet.
01:00:32Okay.
01:00:34I'm not used to relaxing like that.
01:00:36Clearly. I think you can sit up front.
01:00:37This is quite awkward.
01:00:46To the chefs.
01:00:48To the chefs.
01:00:49Cheers.
01:00:50Cheers.
01:00:54Mm.
01:01:00Well, thank you for letting me be part of the team.
01:01:04I needed someone to hold the camera.
01:01:08I imagine you're itching to get back to your routine.
01:01:11What do you mean?
01:01:13You know, gallery shows and celebrity hangouts.
01:01:16Uh, not really.
01:01:20I mean, I don't need to move if I'm having fun here.
01:01:28Mom!
01:01:30Aren't we journaling?
01:01:32Of course.
01:01:34Do you want to join us?
01:01:35Yeah, let me just finish up here.
01:01:47How's it going with Patrick?
01:01:49It's going.
01:01:51Quite the 180, huh?
01:01:53He's been helpful with the vlog.
01:01:55I've been posting on schedule.
01:01:57I even have some advertising contacts to pursue.
01:01:59But that all sounds great.
01:02:01I think we're finally nailing the show's angle.
01:02:03I mean, I think it'll be phenomenal.
01:02:06But where does that leave me?
01:02:09What do you mean?
01:02:11I have my own brand I need to focus on.
01:02:14I took this job because I needed the momentum from him.
01:02:16But once I get it, I can't get sucked into a show
01:02:19that's going to pull me away from my own dream.
01:02:21Plus, I'm worried that Ellie is becoming too attached.
01:02:27I think you should follow your heart.
01:02:28Are you giving me mindfulness advice?
01:02:31I have been using the journals with Kim.
01:02:34And it's been eye-opening, to say the least.
01:02:38I'm doing some reflection, making some changes.
01:02:41Like what?
01:02:44Dinner.
01:02:46Okay, I know it seems small.
01:02:49But sitting down to a good homemade meal every night
01:02:53with Kim not rushed?
01:02:54It's been wonderful.
01:02:56That's amazing.
01:02:58I think I didn't want to track my emotions
01:03:00because I was afraid of the truth.
01:03:03I mean, you can't deny it on paper.
01:03:05Rushed was my theme.
01:03:07Keep going.
01:03:09Will do, coach.
01:03:12There is one other thing.
01:03:16The partners wanted me to make you a counter-offer
01:03:19to bring you back in time.
01:03:20Double what you made before.
01:03:24That's more than I've ever made.
01:03:28As your friend,
01:03:30I think you should stick with the vlog.
01:03:34That's a big number to walk away from.
01:03:38Think about it.
01:03:40You don't have to give them an answer until next week.
01:03:45I'm sorry.
01:03:46Until next week.
01:03:53Where are we?
01:03:58We are in the kitchen.
01:04:01So why don't we interview a Michelin chef's family?
01:04:07I love it.
01:04:08Yeah?
01:04:09Yeah.
01:04:10Oh, that's great.
01:04:12We could...
01:04:14Hello?
01:04:16Hi, Miss Callahan.
01:04:23The scholarship interviews are when?
01:04:27Okay, thank you so much.
01:04:28This is wonderful news.
01:04:35What's wrong?
01:04:36She got in,
01:04:37but she still has the scholarship interview.
01:04:40Tuition is like the price of a new car every semester.
01:04:43And she'll get the scholarship.
01:04:44Yeah.
01:04:45But what if she doesn't?
01:04:46I mean, I have money saved for the vlog,
01:04:48but maybe I can't waste it on that.
01:04:50No, you have to follow your dreams.
01:04:52Even if she gets it this year,
01:04:53she has to reapply every year.
01:04:55Yeah, but if the show gets renewed,
01:04:56you'll have additional income.
01:04:58I can't depend on that.
01:04:59You'll figure it out.
01:05:00I don't have that luxury.
01:05:01Ellie comes first.
01:05:03I think you can do both.
01:05:08Mom?
01:05:10I should go tell her.
01:05:12Okay.
01:05:15I just want you to be as professional as possible
01:05:17and check all the boxes that the school is looking for, okay?
01:05:21What's wrong?
01:05:23I don't know. I just want to be myself.
01:05:25Yeah, but you've got to be more than that, too.
01:05:29Is Patrick helping us shoot tomorrow?
01:05:32Oh, no, he isn't.
01:05:34Oh.
01:05:35Ellie, he's not going to be around all the time,
01:05:37but maybe not at all.
01:05:38He's got his own life.
01:05:41We've got to focus on us.
01:05:42The team.
01:05:43Okay?
01:05:45That's my girl.
01:05:46Okay, sit up.
01:05:47Shoulders back.
01:05:48Hands on your lap.
01:05:49Okay.
01:05:51So, Ellie, what are your interests?
01:05:53English.
01:05:54English?
01:05:56I like English the best.
01:05:58Nice. Okay.
01:06:00So, Ellie, what are you reading right now?
01:06:02I just finished a book called Believe Me.
01:06:04And what do you like about Believe Me?
01:06:06I would probably say the character development.
01:06:08It was written very nicely.
01:06:10Yes, girl!
01:06:11You're going to ace this.
01:06:17So, what sacrifices have you had to make to get here?
01:06:21Well, it had to be a dream we both wanted.
01:06:24It's not just me alone in the kitchen getting Michelin stars.
01:06:29My parents were the same.
01:06:30My dad had a bookstore. It was his dream.
01:06:33But he was not a good businessman,
01:06:36so it would have died many times if my mother didn't believe in it, too.
01:06:40When you first opened and got that scathing review, what did you do?
01:06:44Well, my instinct was to work harder, but I was forcing it.
01:06:49So, how did you find your voice?
01:06:52Our daughter.
01:06:55The whole flavor of the restaurant came from
01:07:00me wanting to show her our family's heritage.
01:07:05Wow, I love that.
01:07:06Well, thank you so much for coming on today.
01:07:09This has been Spreading the News with Patrick Dillon and Savannah Joy.
01:07:15Till tomorrow.
01:07:17That was great, guys!
01:07:20And doing interviews live on location every weekday morning will be a grind,
01:07:25but the results are clear.
01:07:28I mean, these familiar spaces really bring out the intimacy.
01:07:32And you can feel it, too, in the sound of the room.
01:07:34And then you guys were absolutely in sync, too!
01:07:39Well, we have some guests we want to run by you for approval.
01:07:42It's going to be a logistical nightmare, but we're ready.
01:07:46And we should also do supplementary content for the website.
01:07:49I agree.
01:07:51I hope you two can pull this off.
01:07:53Talk soon!
01:08:00What's up?
01:08:01What's up?
01:08:03I'm just happy everything's coming together.
01:08:06Yeah, I know.
01:08:08Hey, there will be time for the blog, I promise.
01:08:10I'll help.
01:08:12Patrick!
01:08:14I can't get out of this gallery opening.
01:08:18Do you want to come with me?
01:08:22A gallery opening?
01:08:24Yeah, I'll send you the information in case you want to come.
01:08:29Patrick!
01:08:31I'd be honoured if you would be my plus one.
01:08:45What's your favourite subject?
01:08:47I like English the best.
01:08:49Do you have any other interests?
01:08:52Don't worry about your mom.
01:08:55We'll come back to that.
01:08:58I read your essay about who you admire.
01:09:01I studied Amelia Earhart recently.
01:09:03Wonderful!
01:09:05But Ellie wrote about someone else.
01:09:07You.
01:09:10I admire my mom because she follows her heart.
01:09:14She inspires other people to take care of themselves, just like she takes care of me.
01:09:19My mom says that following your dreams is the scariest thing of all.
01:09:23But I want to be like her and follow my heart.
01:09:26But I'm new and she's not, so I have to find out what that is for me.
01:09:29That's why we learn about new jobs and topics every month.
01:09:35So Ellie, what does your heart want to do?
01:09:42I guess I do like something the most.
01:09:45What's that?
01:09:47I've always wanted to be a veterinarian.
01:09:49Wonderful!
01:09:51Why?
01:09:53Doctors help people, but animals need help too.
01:09:55They have personalities.
01:09:57They do.
01:09:59Susie has two cats.
01:10:01They're very different.
01:10:03Did you know you need to study chemistry and biology to become a veterinarian?
01:10:07Yes.
01:10:09Grandma says chemistry is like cooking except you can't eat the ingredients.
01:10:12So why didn't you put veterinarian on your application?
01:10:25Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to be a veterinarian?
01:10:29But you never listened.
01:10:31Whenever I talked about animals, you said we couldn't get a pet.
01:10:38How'd I do?
01:10:40You did great. You did.
01:10:43Sorry you didn't listen more.
01:10:46It's okay, Mom.
01:11:00Patrick Dillon.
01:11:02Hey, man.
01:11:04Congratulations, man.
01:11:06I heard you were all pre-sold.
01:11:08Thanks, man. You heard right.
01:11:10I remember when you were a struggling artist.
01:11:12I remember when you were a struggling artist.
01:11:14Hey.
01:11:16How's the show?
01:11:18It's changing. I think it's going to be better.
01:11:20That's awesome, man. I love that.
01:11:22What's your secret?
01:11:23What got you from Hockenhart and Times Square to this?
01:11:29Honestly, man, I just turned out the heat.
01:11:32I just worked every day like it was my last.
01:11:35Really?
01:11:37Yeah, man. At this point, I have no time for anything but pursuing perfection.
01:11:40You know?
01:11:42You got to be like a seagull over the Arctic Ocean,
01:11:45just never landing, never resting until you catch that fish.
01:11:48You feel me?
01:11:50Just no distractions.
01:11:51No distractions.
01:11:53But, I mean, I'm preaching to the choir, right?
01:11:55So...
01:11:57So, no hot date?
01:12:02You found someone?
01:12:04Oh, my God. That is so unlike you.
01:12:08How are you going to have time for the show now, then?
01:12:14Sorry, man. I got to go, man.
01:12:16Hey. You do you.
01:12:18Seagull, baby. Don't forget.
01:12:19Seagull.
01:12:37Of course.
01:13:14She's going to get the scholarship.
01:13:19I got an offer to go back to my old job for double what I made.
01:13:24Are you seriously considering it?
01:13:26I wouldn't be at the mercy of the scholarship this year or next.
01:13:33What about our show?
01:13:35Your show.
01:13:37I thought you wanted us to.
01:13:39I want you to succeed.
01:13:41This show is going to be phenomenal.
01:13:43I know.
01:13:45You'll compliment me.
01:13:47I want more than that.
01:13:49I have dreamed for years of doing something meaningful like this.
01:13:53That's not my dream.
01:13:55Which you're just going to walk away from for this job?
01:13:58I can't hedge her future on my brand success. That job is a guarantee.
01:14:02You could work with one of the sponsors I gave.
01:14:04I'm not losing my principles.
01:14:06So, you're just going to walk away from your passion because it's not exactly the way you want it?
01:14:11I can still work it on the side.
01:14:13I had that workout last time.
01:14:17I got you to a good place.
01:14:20Are you seriously quitting?
01:14:22This is spiraling into too much commitment for me.
01:14:24My contract says that I...
01:14:26Seriously, I don't care about the contract.
01:14:28I care about you following through on your passion.
01:14:32I mean, you practically kicked mindfulness into my head and now you are completely avoiding it.
01:14:38That's why I'm leaving this show.
01:14:41I'm sorry this is hurtful to you but...
01:14:42Oh, fine. Leave me.
01:14:44But don't leave me for a job that you don't care about.
01:14:47That is hurtful.
01:14:49If not now, for the vlog then when?
01:14:52Huh?
01:14:56You keep making promises to yourself but you don't really change.
01:15:02What about you?
01:15:04What about me?
01:15:06You slow down for a second but you don't know where you're going.
01:15:08You haven't made any meaningful changes in your own life.
01:15:09You're on the same path to burnout or sell out.
01:15:12This is what I want.
01:15:14What do you want?
01:15:16I'm happy for you.
01:15:18You've clearly regained your mojo.
01:15:20But I have my own life and it's none of your business.
01:15:29So, we've booked half the guests...
01:15:32Savannah quit.
01:15:34What?
01:15:36Why?
01:15:37Follow through issues.
01:15:41I can maintain the new format without her. I promise.
01:15:44Guest list is set.
01:15:46I recorded her questions in advance. The research is done.
01:15:48I just... I just need to stay grounded without her.
01:15:52I'm committed.
01:15:56Fine. Go for it.
01:15:59It's your funeral.
01:16:08Where's Patrick?
01:16:11I quit.
01:16:13It was becoming too much.
01:16:17You were right. I have to focus on my vlog.
01:16:20But he was helping you.
01:16:27Well, are you still going to spend time together?
01:16:31As friends?
01:16:33I can't have Ellie becoming too attached.
01:16:35Right.
01:16:37I mean, what happens when he gets bored of us and goes back to his world of models and celebrity events?
01:16:44You know, how is Ellie going to take that?
01:16:46Well, all I know is that you and Ellie have been happy for the past few weeks.
01:16:50Read your journal if you don't believe me.
01:16:55You know, Clara offered me my old job back at Double, my salary.
01:17:01Ellie's tuition wouldn't be an issue.
01:17:04You are indeed good at this wellness thing.
01:17:08And you have to do it because it's who you are.
01:17:12Jenny's daughter came up to me the other day raving about how your vlog helped her and her friends.
01:17:18I mean, she was talking about you like you were a saint.
01:17:22And I know you ain't no saint.
01:17:25So, if you need help with Ellie, or if you need financial help,
01:17:30I'm here, okay?
01:17:32Just factor it into your business plan.
01:17:38I just want you to be happy.
01:17:41Okay.
01:17:43It's from the school.
01:17:50This is it.
01:17:55This is...
01:17:57This is...
01:18:07What does it say?
01:18:09We proudly confirm that Ellie Joy is the recipient of a full-time scholarship.
01:18:18I'm so proud of you!
01:18:23We are going to eat dessert for dinner.
01:18:26Yes, we are!
01:18:39I'm glad you told the truth about wanting to be a veterinarian.
01:18:43You always talk about finding the me in your vlogs, so I just did what you tell people.
01:18:51I'm not living up to my own advice, am I?
01:18:54Shh!
01:18:56What does the team think about me staying on with the vlog as planned?
01:19:02Well, you know where I stand.
01:19:04I vote yes.
01:19:06And now that I'm home more, maybe we can discuss...
01:19:09Getting a pet.
01:19:11It's a big responsibility, but it's what you're interested in.
01:19:15Really?
01:19:17You inspire me.
01:19:19You're my hero, Mom.
01:19:24Thank you for ice cream.
01:19:25Thank you for ice cream.
01:19:52Thank you for meeting with me.
01:19:53I know that you run a fashion vlog, and I was telling you a little bit about my wellness vlog.
01:19:58And I think that this would make for a really interesting article.
01:20:01If you wanted to come do a vlog, we could sort of do like a merge vlog.
01:20:12Thank you for the job offer.
01:20:14But I'm going to do my thing as planned.
01:20:17I was hoping you'd say that.
01:20:18Plus, I wanted to connect you to some stores that are interested in carrying your journals.
01:20:23I hope you don't mind. I showed a few people.
01:20:25I don't have any stock, though. That journal was just a prototype.
01:20:28Okay, I also have some investors that are interested in financing your first batch.
01:20:33So...
01:20:35Is that a yes?
01:20:37Oh, that's a yes!
01:20:39I can sympathize.
01:20:41The neighborhood I grew up in was...
01:20:43It was the place we all wanted to live.
01:20:46I know what you're doing.
01:20:49We're reading.
01:20:51Your book's upside down, Mom.
01:20:53Grandma.
01:20:56He invited you to the Best of the NYC Awards.
01:20:59Both of you!
01:21:01The show's been nominated for...
01:21:03I know.
01:21:05I'm not going.
01:21:16Mom...
01:21:18What?
01:21:20Your contract has been renewed.
01:21:26Isn't this what you wanted?
01:21:29Yeah, I'm...
01:21:32I am exhausted.
01:21:34You knew this would be a grind.
01:21:38Did Savannah RSVP?
01:21:41Yeah.
01:21:43You want to invite anyone else?
01:21:45I'll just make sure two seats are saved, just in case they show up.
01:21:54Sorry, just a minute here.
01:21:56Hi, Dad. What's up?
01:21:58Sorry, I meant to call.
01:22:01How was your trip?
01:22:04You listened to the show.
01:22:07Yeah, yeah, we did.
01:22:09Yeah, yeah, we changed the format. How did you know that?
01:22:15You know, I did not know Alicia had your phone number.
01:22:22You liked it. Thank you.
01:22:25That means the world to me.
01:22:29And Mom listened to it with all her friends. Wow, that is...
01:22:32That's wonderful.
01:22:38And the NYC Award goes to...
01:22:43Patrick Dillon!
01:23:02I've wanted this for the last ten years.
01:23:05And now, for the first time in my life, I am speechless.
01:23:09Ah...
01:23:12This would not have been possible without two people who are very dear to me.
01:23:17Savannah and Ellie Joy, whom you heard on the show.
01:23:21They pushed me to slow down.
01:23:24To rediscover myself.
01:23:26Where I'm from.
01:23:29Values close to my heart.
01:23:31And I...
01:23:33No, they...
01:23:36Made me whole again.
01:23:38Allowed me to connect to people, human to human.
01:23:41And...
01:23:43Find that common ground that people care about.
01:23:48I promise not to lose that again.
01:24:05Gothic style.
01:24:08You can tell the architect of this was inspired by that.
01:24:12Audience for that.
01:24:14Well, okay, so take these.
01:24:16Add this to the salad.
01:24:39And so, I'm continuing the new show format into next season,
01:24:43but with more pre-taped segments,
01:24:45so I can devote more time to quality without burning out.
01:24:48I'll be back, same time, same place,
01:24:50but I'll never be the same.
01:24:52How could I?
01:24:54Savannah and Ellie walked into my life and, well, ruined it.
01:24:59And that was the best thing that ever happened to me,
01:25:02because I saw what life could be.
01:25:04I was whole for a moment with them.
01:25:08And that's all I want.
01:25:13If I should be so lucky.
01:25:15Savannah pushed me.
01:25:17I had lost my touch as an interviewer,
01:25:20because I was losing touch with my heart.
01:25:23She...
01:25:25Saved me.
01:25:35Um...
01:25:38Mom?
01:25:40Can you watch Ellie?
01:25:42I'm going out.
01:25:50And so, this is Spreading the News with Patrick Dillerman.
01:26:05Hi, Patrick.
01:26:08Hi, Savannah.
01:26:12What are you doing here?
01:26:14I realize that I can't be a better mom for Ellie or help others if I don't help myself.
01:26:20I'm not living up to the mindfulness advice on my own wellness blog.
01:26:26I told myself that I was protecting Ellie,
01:26:29when in truth, I was protecting myself from Ellie.
01:26:31I'll never achieve my dreams that way.
01:26:33You and Ellie taught me that.
01:26:38So, I was hoping that you would join our team again,
01:26:44as a cameraman, on a trial basis.
01:26:49Well, that is a dream I can get behind.
01:26:52Oh, baby.
01:26:54I don't want to miss out on life.
01:26:56And I cannot imagine doing it without you and Ellie beside me.
01:27:00I am only one half of a great conversation without you,
01:27:05on air,
01:27:07and off.
01:27:10Well, you heard it, New York.
01:27:12This is Spreading the News with Patrick Dillerman.
01:27:16And Savannah Joy.
01:27:18Till next time.
01:27:26See, Vincent, that is romance right there.
