Unknown Speaker 3:51

Well, so good to

John Tabis 3:52

have you here. Thanks for taking time, especially like you're about to go and read the news. And you know, an hour, a few

Christina Pascucci 3:58

minutes here. So it's a nice break to be great to see you

Unknown Speaker 4:02

again.

Unknown Speaker 4:02

Thank you.

John Tabis 4:04

I was telling them the story about how you came out and did the news on Valentine's Day at our headquarters a couple years ago, which was super fun.

Christina Pascucci 4:11

It feels like that was just yesterday. And already a few years have passed. Yeah, he was 2015 that sounds right. Maybe it was Valentine's Day and I was learning so much about roses and the best floral company in the world.

Cousin Bill 4:23

Yeah, that was super fun. I'm still learning how to pronounce the flowers. Yes.

Katie Rotolo 4:29

How do you say what was a flower?

Unknown Speaker 4:30

Man hydrogen, hydrogen, hydrogen instead of a drain now? I'm just gonna embrace it. Yeah.

John Tabis 4:39

We figured since we were here, we talked about the business of of the news and and get some, you know, some thoughts from you from sort of the other side being in the industry and being this is what you do. But I was saying before we an era when I was at Disney, I did a bunch of work with ABC News. So we're looking at you know, sort of the brand and where it was and where they wanted to take it and which program Sort of drove the brand it was right around the time that there was a whole bunch of changes with with well, and with talent like George had just moved over to Good Morning America and, and so there's just a lot of change happening it was it was really fascinating though because I'd never really spent any time inside the industry and there was a not that that time necessarily within ABC. But in general there was sort of almost like a panic around the news for a while, which is, you know, viewership was declining and newspaper circulation was essentially going away. And now everything is seems like we've kind of turned the corner on that. And now that everything's digitized and subscription businesses, the news is doing pretty well been a rebirth.

Cousin Bill 5:39

Yeah. So

John Tabis 5:40

talk a little bit about what that's been like on your side.

Christina Pascucci 5:42

Yeah, well, you know, it reminds me of is I remember getting a DVD from Netflix in the mail and thinking, how is this? How is this company going to last? And then, of course, obviously, they're one of the biggest media companies now in the world. In fact, we share a lot with them. And I had lunch with a friend there last week, the employees are treated like kings and queens, they get this full spread anything they want for free around the clock, I come to KTLA, I get my, you know, snack out of the vending machine. And so it kind of shows the difference between the medians and just the culture, you still have a little bit of that old school culture in the newsrooms, but there's been so much change and at KTLA, we're doing podcasts we are expanding our digital providing, if I can use that word, can I use that short journalist? That is fine, it's done. And we have a digital show that airs every day between our newscast at your on TV, and we stream live. So we're addressing it, and I think it's gonna continue to evolve. But our viewership is up more than it has been in years. And I think, in part, it's because of the President. And, you know, this fake news thing, it's more important than ever for us to fight back. And credible news sources are more critical than ever, because we are established and we are a new source that can be trusted, unlike some of these new mediums popping up.

John Tabis 7:06

Yeah. How does that feel to have this sort of battle going on around you around your profession?

Christina Pascucci 7:12

Right where it it makes me mad. I'm, I'm going to try to not get angry right now and throw something out. Okay. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 7:19

if you're gonna throw things at bill,

Cousin Bill 7:20

yeah.

Unknown Speaker 7:24

Flour company. But yeah, I've

John Tabis 7:27

always I've always thought that, you know, there's this, there's this weird cultural war happening around what is truth? And there's online, you know, entities that are completely fabricated, and are just, you know, looking for clicks and trolling for clicks and right, like putting out fake news on purpose to try to monetize it. I read an article about one guy who does that as a career, it started off as a joke where he was put out like, the most ridiculous sort of super, super hardcore Conservative News he could find. And just to make fun of people who would share it, but now like, he'll put out ridiculous things, and they get shared, like millions of times, and he's making like, hundreds of 1000s of dollars.

Christina Pascucci 8:03

Yeah, yeah. And you know, people like my mom who isn't as tech savvy or not as good as pointing out some of the fake news stuff. she'll send me articles sometimes that are made by guys like him, and sharing it as the truth. And it's really frustrating. I think what's most frustrating about the energy right now and the environment surrounding, you know, with Donald Trump has created with the fake news media is the harassment and people physically assaulting us when we're in the streets reporting. And, gosh, I got into this because I want to help people. I love people. And I'm a truth seeker. And so to constantly be questioned and attacked and have fake news media and people just trolling because that's the example it's being set. It's infuriating.

John Tabis 8:50

What is so weird, because it's, it's somebody's questioning your personal integrity, right? But it's also like your job is to report what happens that's the definition of a journalist, like the definition of news is, right? Here's the thing that occurred in the world that I'm now telling you about it so that you're informed. Yeah. And to have sort of people attacking that on a daily basis. And that's just your job, right? This is your job, your passion to it's, it's it's a big reason why, you know, it's why you get up in the morning, and obviously, you're super passionate about it, but how frustrating just having, I mean, look, if every day when I was out trying to ship flowers, someone was like playing defense. I'm not gonna let you cut those flowers. Flowers are the worst really.

Christina Pascucci 9:33

I wish I wish this was a visual medium and people could just see the moves you made.

Cousin Bill 9:40

a basketball player and my five eight foot shuffle you just

John Tabis 9:46

imagine like you're just trying to get a box out for delivery into someone's playing defense shack. feels like you're someone just trying to thwart your efforts in your profession every day.

Christina Pascucci 9:56

Yeah. And it sucks to be questioned repeatedly, especially when your heart's in the right place. And you're constantly trying to do the right thing, but it's just the environment we find ourselves in. And you know what? I'm going to choose to see the silver lining otherwise, I think I would implode upon myself with frustration. So which is I'm just always checking my facts rechecking my facts, making sure everything I do is solid and no one can can take anything from that.

John Tabis 10:20

Yeah. And I think you're right though the, the wallets, there's so much of the negativity, it also seems like the interest in the news is higher than ever, because of that same dynamic. And it's sort of they kind of go together, right? This is a constant news cycle, obviously. And the President is just a catalyst for even more than there would be naturally

Christina Pascucci 10:39

right. And when he gives a speech, and I'm not trying to make this a partisan thing, by any means, but it's just truth is the truth. And when you're giving a speech and half of the facts you, you know, present as being factual or not, it's really important that you have journalists there to reveal that fact. Yeah. Yeah. And historically, people take the what the president says is truth. But you just you can't do that as much. And this current situation,

Cousin Bill 11:06

yeah, well,

John Tabis 11:07

I find myself even having to force myself, especially on social media to go a layer deeper when I read something. And it's annoying, and it takes time. But you know, there used to be a time where you could just read a headline, and then you could share something, or you could like it, because you were pretty sure it was gonna be accurate. Now, you can't just even you can't read the headline, you can't just read the story. You have to read that story. And then it's fine to others to make sure that that one's right.

Cousin Bill 11:31

And check on Snopes and like, yep, everything. Yeah.

Christina Pascucci 11:35

And I think if there's any other positive sides of this, too, it's the fact that people are seeking the truth more than ever. So maybe, historically, you know, in whatever decade, you want to name 7870s 80s 90s, someone would say something, and you accepted as truth. Or maybe you check, but but now people really have to check for multiple sources and develop their own opinion in a way they never have before. And maybe that's what we needed to do all along, rather than just consume information that's fed to us

John Tabis 12:01

and just trust blindly, right? We should trust but trust but verify,

Cousin Bill 12:05

right?

John Tabis 12:06

Let's make sure we get it right. Yeah, and I think the the evolution has been really fascinating, right? All of the switch from, you know, physical papers to online, the subscription models seemed actually working. You know, I read an article, I don't know, a few months back about the Wall Street Journal subscription successes, and how they really turn to their business around with online subscriptions. And, you know, what have you seen from from, you know, your personal experience, and just what you've seen the industry from just the monetization and like the business side of the news, it's, it's more competitive than ever, right? And there's so many ways to get to news. Here are the big changes that you've experienced other than sort of just going to the digital platforms.

Christina Pascucci 12:49

Well, I feel as if I've been in news during the Renaissance of the way in which it is given. I interned here at KTLA when I was in college, and I worked with entertainment guy, and I used to always go down to the basement in the dungeon, get the tapes, physically bring them up and do that whole thing. By the way, they're haunted tunnels here at KTLA they were during the prohibition people would go through them also movie stars to try to avoid the paparazzi. Apparently, they were connected to a studio across the way. But that's a story for another time. Yeah, I would go down there. It was so creepy. Bring him back up. And now, you know, I've just it's been insane to watch it. And from the technological aspect. Yeah, everything's different. we're much more engaged with our viewers. newscasters used to kind of be untouchable. Now you're, you're forced to interact. Some places even give you a report cards on your social media alone. I know, we did that here for a short time, and it drove people nuts. Because you would see where you're a place amongst the 200 or so la newscasters. What your engagement was what percentage you were ranked? And it just it drove people bananas? Yeah.

John Tabis 13:55

Yeah. Used to be that. There was a, I don't know what the right word is an aura. A, if you were in amongst the regular people, then you weren't as great. Whereas now as we're not in amongst the regular people via social media, you're not doing your job. Right. Right. And I think it's one of the places where, you know, at least from my side, I've seen you thrive, because that's I think you take to it naturally. You enjoy it. Yeah. Contents great. And you also try all these crazy things all the time. And so that makes for really interesting content.

Unknown Speaker 14:23

You know, she's the pilot,

Unknown Speaker 14:25

right? Yeah.

Christina Pascucci 14:28

Crazy. I love it. Yeah. And I'm thinking of getting my skydiving license. I don't have kids. So you know, it's like, amazing. I'll take my risks now.

John Tabis 14:38

My I have my wife, good friend. We're going to their wedding actually called once they have kids that they call traveling party. They take care of their kids traveling party all the time. That's really funny. So yours might be skydiving. What's up, Eric? How's it go, man? I like that. So So let's do our news. Yeah. And then Christina, Katie don't feel any pressure. She's just gonna judge everything you do. Yeah. Yeah, can

Christina Pascucci 15:10

I call? Yes. So centered on television. Oh, yeah. Okay, sorry. I just mess everything up. No. Probably.

Unknown Speaker 15:23

Yeah, that's okay.

Unknown Speaker 15:24

I've been holding in. Yeah, I think

John Tabis 15:28

we should just like start believing every other word of

Cousin Bill 15:29

crossing just like she's swearing constantly all the time. Hey, Katie, coming up on today

Katie Rotolo 15:38

Tom Cruise has a new movie and we're going to be talking to him.

Unknown Speaker 15:41

Hey,

Katie Rotolo 15:42

funny man. Al Franken will be stopping by for a visit. And Wolfgang Puck shares his recipe for apple strudel. Hey, so stay tuned, because we've got all this and more coming up in the next hour.

Unknown Speaker 15:55

Oh, well, nevermind.

Katie Rotolo 15:56

So today in the news, we're actually talking about something that I think you will love. There is you meaning Christina and nobody can see me pointing obviously. There is a brewery in South Florida called saltwater brewery.

John Tabis 16:08

You should have pointed to me if we're here.

Unknown Speaker 16:10

Well, hold on. All right. All right. Really

Katie Rotolo 16:12

like everybody. I know. It's it's,

Christina Pascucci 16:15

I guess yeah, it

Katie Rotolo 16:15

really is for everyone. crowd pleaser. No. It's a microbrewery in Delray Beach, and they have developed with a startup called e6 pr, a set of six pack rings that are made from wheat and barley. Oh, so instead of strangling the turtles, they're actually nourishing the turtles. So they're edible. Yeah. So not only are they biodegradable, but they're also edible to the marine like my

Christina Pascucci 16:39

heart. I love turtles. Yeah, they barely survive. As it is.

Katie Rotolo 16:44

Yeah, it's really crazy. So

Cousin Bill 16:46

this is one I can drink beer and feed turtles at the same show.

John Tabis 16:50

So normally, you're supposed to like cut it up and put it in the recycling thing. Now you have to run outside and chuck it in the ocean,

Cousin Bill 16:55

right? Because if you put it in landfills, it's a waste. Yeah, no one's eating it. Otherwise, you're just doing it wrong.

John Tabis 17:05

Listen, what after you drink this, put in a pile drive to the ocean.

Cousin Bill 17:11

All the all the turtles.

Katie Rotolo 17:13

The idea is that there's there's billions of pounds of plastic in the ocean billions with a B. And at the current rate of that we're putting plastic in the ocean, the plastic is actually going to outweigh the fish in our ocean by the year 2050. So yeah, it's pretty insane. The amount of plastic guys do you know how much actually this is a good little little pop quiz.

Cousin Bill 17:33

There we go. How much

Katie Rotolo 17:34

plastic Do you think that we've produced? Since the industrial production of it became began? Truly? Only this was only 70 years ago? brilliance?

Christina Pascucci 17:45

I don't know something.

John Tabis 17:47

I was gonna say trillions. It's it seems like it's close. Works. My son would say he loves the

Katie Rotolo 17:54

billion metric ton of millions

Unknown Speaker 17:58

creeping up a trillion

Katie Rotolo 17:59

years. Wow. So yeah, it's pretty crazy. And they say about 90% of what's floating the debris in the oceans is plastic.

Christina Pascucci 18:07

Have you heard of the Pacific gyre? Yes, that huge swirling plastic ship off the Pacific? Yeah, it's just this like a trash Island. Yeah, that they think is the size of the US, according to some estimates by scientists. And it's just it's advice actually did a pretty good series on it. And

John Tabis 18:23

like wunderkind who's like trying to clean it, clean

Unknown Speaker 18:25

it out that kid

John Tabis 18:26

Yeah, totally failed. I guess the first try like, yeah, it all broke out, really? And then they're trying again, but at least there's some people going after it. Yeah. And and these guys with their awesome turtle feeding earrings.

Cousin Bill 18:39

What was the name of?

Katie Rotolo 18:40

It's called saltwater brewery. And they do have them. But yeah, they said they're they just rolled this out, actually. And this company, e6 pr is they say they're going to be working with some other breweries. But they haven't really given out

Christina Pascucci 18:59

many specific Well,

John Tabis 19:00

this is a thing that I think, you know, businesses can use, even if you're in like an old school business, like beer, right? Like beer has been around forever, and it's super competitive. Everyone has another microbrew that's coming out tomorrow, but investing in things that make the world better while while also running your business. I mean, we add books, we pay it, the farmers that we work with, because they invest in sustainability and people we pay them 20% more. That is like the way we operate. So we're doing good by just selling our product because we're helping farmers do it the right way. And it's a way that we differentiate the marketplace and so, so often there's there's so many these opportunities in business where you can do one a good business you can make money is a great thing for marketing. I'm sure this is way more press than they've ever gotten way, way more sales, and they were just trying to do something good for the world.

Christina Pascucci 19:46

And they're right near the Gulf. So I mean, I feel like they know they have a responsibility to take care of their area. And one more thing to note about that story is finally something good out of Florida. Like

Katie Rotolo 20:03

we all hear the craziest news stories.

Cousin Bill 20:05

Oh yeah, that's true.

Katie Rotolo 20:07

Oh, yeah. When you hear something crazy, you're like Florida or Ohio

Unknown Speaker 20:12

or it's really just Florida.

Cousin Bill 20:13

Yeah. Florida.

Unknown Speaker 20:17

saltwater brewery?

Cousin Bill 20:18

Yeah. Yeah. Also what a cool party trick like if no one knows. Just check this out.

Unknown Speaker 20:27

Beer, crash it on your head and he's on short.

John Tabis 20:32

I'm sure turtle food tastes awesome.

Katie Rotolo 20:37

like bread.

Cousin Bill 20:39

Oh, I'll jump on this grenade. I'll try it. All right, well, let's, let's get salt water. So that'll be the next taste test. We do. And Bill we have a taste

Katie Rotolo 20:47

test. Last week we did a taste test with vegan burgers. Have you? Did you guys have one since I haven't sent okay. I was curious cuz he's going to

Cousin Bill 20:57

wahlburgers again. I'm gonna do the impossible.

Christina Pascucci 20:59

Impossible is pretty damn good.

Cousin Bill 21:01

Yeah, that's what that's what I had. I liked it. Last week. I

Katie Rotolo 21:03

had them do a blind taste test. I

Unknown Speaker 21:05

didn't know. And

John Tabis 21:06

I got fooled. Yeah, it was from Carl's Jr, too, by the way, which is pretty cool. Carl's Jr. is rolling into

Christina Pascucci 21:12

the beyond burger now. Wow. Cool. And some of them I hear even have like, not blood, but read stuff like Yeah. Yeah,

Katie Rotolo 21:19

it's pretty crazy.

Cousin Bill 21:21

What else we got going on, Katie.

Katie Rotolo 21:23

So we're talking about VR. We're talking about another fun thing. Shut up. I

Unknown Speaker 21:26

say that.

Cousin Bill 21:30

She's right. We are talking about it. Yes. It's true. These are facts. Oh my god, no

Christina Pascucci 21:34

fake news here.

Katie Rotolo 21:36

So this company, I believe it's called hollow ride is a spin off of Audi actually. And they just rolled out at CES a brand new.

John Tabis 21:47

Have you heard of their new competitor? Any?

Katie Rotolo 21:57

dad joke? Sorry. I told someone the other day I was like, yeah, appreciate if you follow us on social media. I was sharing about our podcast. He said, right now it's kind of like your dad's Instagram, but

Unknown Speaker 22:13

we're totally your dad.

Unknown Speaker 22:15

Anyway,

Katie Rotolo 22:16

so. Audi, not any. Okay, au di. They have as spin off a subsidiary company now that they basically put VR in the backseat of your car. So no more dull road trips? In the back of your car?

Unknown Speaker 22:32

Only not? Well, yeah.

Katie Rotolo 22:34

But they have VR glasses for the backseat passengers. And basically

Cousin Bill 22:38

not like zombies are chasing the car down the highway

Unknown Speaker 22:40

and say that you don't get motion sick that it actually

Cousin Bill 22:45

was gonna be my first question. Yeah, they say that it adapt. I'm doing motion sick thinking

John Tabis 22:48

about putting glasses on in the back.

Katie Rotolo 22:51

Apparently, people tested it at CES and the vehicle was going actually up to 90 miles an hour, and you couldn't feel it. And they say it actually adapts to how your vehicle is moving.

John Tabis 23:03

So what is what is what is happening here. So like, you're driving on the highway, and like dragons are trying to destroy the car.

Katie Rotolo 23:11

particular one that I read about was a Marvel game, actually. So it's just a video game, basically, that you're a part of, but they're rolling out there, you know, working on different ones, but it sounds like they're, they're trying to expand it says and incorporate your actual surrounding environment. So if you're in a traffic jam, or wherever you kind of are, it's going to be responsive to that. So you guys saw actually, have you seen the Black Mirror movie? No. Okay, so what they did is they actually implemented, if you're familiar with the show, you know, they're really into technology and pushing the envelope. And the movie actually makes you make choices throughout the film.

Cousin Bill 23:49

Choose Your Own Adventure. Yeah, it's

Katie Rotolo 23:51

interesting. Yeah. And so I was actually talking to someone about that recently. And, and so it's kind of a almost like a What do you call it like a stick figure? idea right now? Because eventually, it'll, it'll almost hear you like how your phone does, you know, because when I was watching it, I actually kind of got annoyed by it. And we were saying, well, in the future, it'll probably hear us like our Alexa or like our phone and know that we're annoyed dairies listening. Yeah, and go ahead and make adjustments or

John Tabis 24:21

the ghosts in the hallways downstairs.

Katie Rotolo 24:26

So apparently, I mean, it seems like it's gonna be like that, where it almost is going to start to learn your environment and your pattern.

John Tabis 24:34

I like the idea of using VR to just mess with my kids, because they're always like, Are we there yet? And we could just have it look like we're there.

Cousin Bill 24:42

So seven more hours drive in your faces, or you

Katie Rotolo 24:45

just put on the screen at Disneyland.

Cousin Bill 24:49

Like when we arrived, she good. Santos is gonna make us disappear.

Christina Pascucci 24:53

Deprived childhood. I mean, their access to VR. Yeah, playing road trips, and Seeing to my parents over and over again till they rated me 10 out of 10 on the song

John Tabis 25:06

give you like a six and then you just like finally I've seen again,

Christina Pascucci 25:09

like as they always were about keeping it real with me. But then finally they're like, get your attention to this day was raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. How to any parents listening to this would be so tortured by that.

Katie Rotolo 25:27

That reminds me Did you see the new Mary Poppins?

Christina Pascucci 25:30

No, but I saw Saving Mr. Banks recently when I was in Antarctica, because you have nothing else to do for two days while you're crossing the Drake Passage. And I never watched movies normally. But it was it was very good. It was fascinating on how that was made. But is a new one. Good.

Katie Rotolo 25:45

I loved it. I love musicals, though. I'm such a I'm such a like little kid at heart. And Alex isn't my husband's not a musical person. He's he loves theater, but he doesn't. He's an actor, but he doesn't love musicals. And he, he enjoyed it. He said he actually really appreciated he thought the child acting was wonderful and that they really captured the attention of the kids really well. Like it was a movie theater full of kids and only one noisy kid like it was really like every kid was really into the film, which was so

Cousin Bill 26:13

in summary, and he has a new cool thing you can learn about unsnapping

Katie Rotolo 26:19

john loves to talk about

John Tabis 26:22

I don't really use social media the right way.

Christina Pascucci 26:24

It's a separate snappy web.

Cousin Bill 26:28

competitor it's pretty great. Yes, so

Katie Rotolo 26:30

it's a subsidiary of Audi but they're actually going to be working with its Audi electronics adventure is the technology company and they're going to be licensing it sounds like to other companies and sounds cool. Yeah. He'll be available they say within the next three

Cousin Bill 26:42

I'm glad if not with a driver Yeah,

John Tabis 26:44

then you'd be all of a sudden people are radically like

Cousin Bill 26:47

drives to begin with, right? Yeah.

Katie Rotolo 26:49

Oh my gosh, people are already on their phones driving that you

John Tabis 26:52

could do that in like a closed course. Oh, yeah. Which would be kind of interesting.

Cousin Bill 26:56

You could have like it's like it's like the bird box challenge would be like dry

John Tabis 27:01

ramp like you know the movie rampage with the rock or somebody like you know, the big the big monsters chasing you right driving away from

Christina Pascucci 27:09

really slow I just googled snappy Rafi because I thought

Unknown Speaker 27:17

it looks horrifying, great. Someone on Facebook is

John Tabis 27:20

not happy with my made up version of Snapchat because I've never actually used that

Christina Pascucci 27:23

is what I thought you might mean.

Cousin Bill 27:25

We decided was to

John Tabis 27:28

register the domain and like put up a fake.

Cousin Bill 27:30

Yep. like yeah, we shout it out. Really shout it out every episode. Check us out on snappy lappi so

John Tabis 27:37

so thank you, Katie, for for the news. How'd you do Christina?

Christina Pascucci 27:40

pretty dang good.

Cousin Bill 27:41

Here we go. We're good. Don't thought this was gonna be like an anchorman situation for a second. Yeah, news teams.

Katie Rotolo 27:51

support each other.

Christina Pascucci 27:52

I'm all about that. Guy.

Cousin Bill 27:59

Quickly, quickly.

John Tabis 28:00

So Christina would love to would love you to just talk a little bit about just sort of your the quick version of like, how you How did you get here? You interned here, obviously, but like, Yeah, what do you think? made you interested in this career? Like and how did you break into it? And and sort of what your day job is like,

Christina Pascucci 28:19

Okay, I have a short term memory. So you're gonna have to repeat your question. And I'll start with how, why I was interested in it. Yeah. Okay. So when I was a kid, and this is gonna be a little personal for a sec, but my sister has struggled from drug addiction, and bipolar. And so she was a good person doing some bad things at the time. We have a great relationship. Now. She's doing much better. But she was my older sister 15 years older, and I just it sparked this curiosity in me when I was a little kid. Like, what prompts what makes people tick? What motivates them? Why are good people doing bad things? And so I started kind of digging, and I wanted to talk to people over you. Um, eight to 10.

Unknown Speaker 29:01

Okay. Yeah, pretty. Yeah, deep thinking. I was like, Zelda.

Christina Pascucci 29:08

zelda? I don't know, but now is formulating in my, in those words, but yeah. And so my mom said, I'd always get lost, because I'd go chat with people. And just, you know, I was curious about them. So that was probably a part of it, too. But I also just have this curiosity about the world. I want to go live with a tribe that's never been seen in Africa, or I want to go to Antarctica and just stay on the continent for a month. And, you know, hang with researchers, I

Cousin Bill 29:35

want to watch. I don't want to do any of that. But

John Tabis 29:37

I want to do that. So that I don't have to, because I'm curious what it's like, Yeah, but actually living

Cousin Bill 29:41

without curious and

John Tabis 29:45

this is why I'm a consumer. I'm not the creator of them. So that so it all started with your family, essentially. Yeah.

You were this way. You were called sort of precocious, curious child just interacting with strangers on the street.

Christina Pascucci 29:58

Yeah. And also I don't know by the way I really want to go to space I'm just gonna throw that out there because I think if you want to do something you got to say it so if anyone happens to be listening who

Cousin Bill 30:08

I'm talking about you on a lot I'm sure I'm sure you got to be you know wants to

Christina Pascucci 30:15

send me you know reporting live from the Mars that'll be a while but yeah maybe from the moon or something

Katie Rotolo 30:22

sooner than later

Christina Pascucci 30:23

yeah 2030s they

Cousin Bill 30:24

are the layer flyer tonight told me this good a bad joke No, you're crushing the game right now. The hangover hangover Yeah.

John Tabis 30:43

So then you go to where do you go to school

Unknown Speaker 30:45

USC

John Tabis 30:48

I went to Notre Dame's like I'm allowed to go to every

Cousin Bill 30:51

other school but Notre Dame That's true.

John Tabis 30:57

And and so you interned here. How were you? Your journalist journalism major,

Christina Pascucci 31:03

I did a triple major I did business. I started off my dad, as a first person. My family go to college. So my dad instilled in me you got to do business no matter what you end up doing, everyone?

Unknown Speaker 31:13

Yeah.

Cousin Bill 31:15

Yeah, well, I

Christina Pascucci 31:16

did this, like dad told me and then I wanted to I thought, you know, language is super important. So I lived in Spain did Spanish as a second major. And then journalism was the third one I tagged on and I don't know I just feel like my mantra is, is break the mold. shatter that shit like think outside of the box. Any any way people told you it's been done, you know, think of a new way to do it. And just kind of blaze your own path. Yeah,

John Tabis 31:47

I one time thought about taking a minor.

Cousin Bill 31:50

Yeah, I did. A major and a minor in my minor was theater. So theater. That was a lot. Yeah.

Christina Pascucci 32:00

Did you sing?

Cousin Bill 32:02

I did. I was I was a song

Christina Pascucci 32:05

that you remember singing in a play. Let's see. I remember when that's why I'm putting on a spa

Cousin Bill 32:11

when the moon is in the seventh. And Jupiter aligns with the planets. Almost turned into a musical and almost the Age of Aquarius. Aquarius

Christina Pascucci 32:36

sounds like Wait, what year was that? How

Cousin Bill 32:38

old were you? I was That was my junior year in college. We did here

John Tabis 32:45

this. This only? That song only? is Steve Carell to me that that's Yeah, that's Yeah, that's the whole song now. Yeah,

Cousin Bill 32:53

there's no other console we did here at a private Catholic college. Nice. Took a lot of clothing. breaking the mold, right?

Christina Pascucci 33:01

How much clothing

Cousin Bill 33:02

all I took all of it off. Wow.

Christina Pascucci 33:07

Witness this.

Cousin Bill 33:08

My grandmother was there. Yeah. But I had a very, very like my grandma her Vedic was very like she taught me how to swear and how to like, drink booze, and like all that stuff. And she was like, awesome. Parents are also lovely. recipes, Grandpa, but they they came up from Pittsburgh to Erie rose, two hour drive. And they left at at intermission. And I called them and I was like, Hey, I told them we're doing hair and like, you're gonna see a lot of me. And I gave them like, Oh, we want to come support you. They were taillights at intermission. Wow, they couldn't take that. They were like, Oh, sorry. We were just really tired. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. They just

Katie Rotolo 33:57

say you're such a production person. You just said tail. They were gone. Yeah.

Christina Pascucci 34:04

I mean, they couldn't see that. Yeah, it probably still sticks with them. Like we're really.

Cousin Bill 34:09

We're really proud of you. But we're leaving.

Christina Pascucci 34:11

I need to build scram in my life.

Cousin Bill 34:14

She was amazing.

Katie Rotolo 34:15

actually did a full frontal nudity in a play one? Yeah. Yeah. He had sex with a man on a stage. Wait, I'm not actually sex. But yeah, it was very progressive. The Paris letter. Yeah. Wow. Whoa. Yeah. So

Christina Pascucci 34:28

he's young guys heard of the Folsom street fair. In San Francisco. Oh, boy. Just Google it.

Cousin Bill 34:34

Okay. Or don't do anything.

Christina Pascucci 34:36

Is it like, raunchy?

John Tabis 34:42

And you I'm sure you reported on it. Is that why I

Christina Pascucci 34:44

Oh, no, no, not let us report on San Francisco area. Stations might okay, but it's a little bit way out there for KTLA I mean, you'd have to bleep or blur everything. Is it like fantasy fest and keywest I'm not sure what that is. That sounds fun.

Cousin Bill 35:02

Sounds great. Yeah. So mostly half naked.

John Tabis 35:06

So somehow we went from how Christina had a triple major into bill being nude, so I'm going to try it. Yeah.

Cousin Bill 35:14

Yeah, sorry, we do this sometimes Oh, you

John Tabis 35:16

you somehow turned a triple major intern internship here. And you're grabbing tapes and sort of doing the grunt level sort of, you know, inside work when what was your first reporting job? Like, what was what was the first gig that you had? And then like, do you remember like your first story?

Christina Pascucci 35:35

Yeah. Okay. So I had maybe 10 internships during college. And then I ended up being hired as a production assistant for EA news during college. After that, there are a couple memorable moments in the beginning. One was I worked for local cable stations, like Santa Monica TV, I had to build my reel. And I was doing this really, I mean, not depressing story, but like, it was kind of like, you know, the world's largest cookie type story. And I was on a medium where they were planting trees. And it kind of had to do it was a stretch to say this, but it kind of had to do with California legislation and then helping the environment. And just a stroke of luck. This motorcade pulls up, and Governor Schwarzenegger gets out. And he's across the way getting coffee. And I'm like, Governor, you know, well, can I interview you? And so he was nice enough his security stop traffic, he came over, he said, Oh, my wife Maria at the time, they you know, as before that whole thing happened. And he the interview, he was gracious enough to do it, because he knew what it was like to be a reporter in the beginning. So I got the job. My first official job was Reno, Nevada with an ABC affiliate there. And my first big story was at the brothel. And yeah, and I was offered a job by the madam there while I was trying to cover it. Oh, my God. And she thought I would do well there. She said, Oh, nice. So nice. Well,

Cousin Bill 36:59

sweet lady.

Christina Pascucci 37:00

Thanks. Yeah. And so you know, you're making sure like, I

John Tabis 37:04

gotta use a business degree and Spanish degree. Yeah, journalism's this isn't work for me. But

Christina Pascucci 37:11

when you start out in journalism, you're making such shit money. And so she said, you know, honey work here a couple days a month, I'll get you six figures. And I'm just like, What the?

Cousin Bill 37:25

You're so frustrated with.

Unknown Speaker 37:28

They worked out.

Christina Pascucci 37:31

It didn't work out. Like, you know, I ended up working there. But it worked out. I stood my ground, my passion for journalism and pursued that went to Palm Springs to anchor and produce a show or from midnight to like, 10am, at least. And then got the job here.

John Tabis 37:49

That's amazing. It the what is is, I imagine this, you sort of just said this, but I'm just curious about like, these types of industries, right? Where it's all about sort of growing up in the industry of music was this way I came out, I got my I was getting my business school degree. And I went work at an internship at Universal Music, and they're all kind of like, yeah, yeah, you're really great. You should have started when you were 17. In this, like, You're, you're 30, or whatever I was, you're gonna start at the beginning, I was telling really like, why, why What does everybody care if you're smart, you can do a good job, right? But that's the the ethos, the culture is around that sort of being brought up in the system and sort of learning the ropes.

Christina Pascucci 38:30

And I and I've done that I feel very lucky to have done that Katie likes I was hired here when I was 2425, which is pretty young for a bigger market. And there were pros and cons to that. But this is such an amazing place. And I'm incredibly grateful to it. The thing that you just said, that is super interesting, though, because there's so much I want to do in life, you know, I would love to train to be a CIA agent, or work for NASA, or why do I have to be if I want to be report? I do I have to work for that for so many years. I think we should reinvent ourselves every decade or so. And so that's kind of what I sometimes think of is, I don't know, I guess in this job you get to do so much. Well, that's

John Tabis 39:11

kind of what I was gonna say is you've actually found a way to bring all that desire for lots of experiences into the gig. It's part of what makes you so great at it.

Unknown Speaker 39:19

Thank you. Oh, stop, tell me more.

John Tabis 39:24

But, but talk a little bit about that, that that desire that strong need for adventure, right? You've already said, you just came back from Antarctica, you want to go to space? Want to live with the tribe in Africa? Like where

Christina Pascucci 39:36

you want to be President of the United States?

Unknown Speaker 39:38

Where did that come from?

Unknown Speaker 39:39

Can you say that again?

Christina Pascucci 39:40

I want to be President of the United States. Have you always man I throw this up. Why am I

Unknown Speaker 39:48

throwing a peace sign out when I don't know? Like now?

John Tabis 39:54

Have you always been that way too? Have you always wanted to try all the things and do all the things you've grown up Was that something influential from your family? Like, why are you a pilot and you want to go skydiving and all these things,

Christina Pascucci 40:06

I have a strong sense of the fleetingness of time. And people always say, I'll get to this Someday Someday, life fricking goes by in a flash. So since I was a kid, I just remember my parents saying, oh, life goes by, you know, I woke up and I'm 40 I woke up and I'm 50. And because of that, I almost have a sense of urgency to live as fully as I possibly can. And I think that we are here to experience as much as we possibly can.

John Tabis 40:35

And so, amen. How does that manifest itself in becoming a pilot as an example? That's fascinating.

Christina Pascucci 40:42

My biggest fear was my biggest fears were small planes and heights. And so I almost started filling them up later, really. So it's almost an experiment, social experiment of sorts with myself and I turned it into a series when I was in Palm Springs called on air in India with Christina Pascucci so clever. And we did a good dad jokes here.

Cousin Bill 41:11

I know a guy that you know a guy. Yeah.

Christina Pascucci 41:14

And so I started as a series, and I took viewers with me, and then I was accountable because it's like, I cannot I cannot do my solo because people are watching and they'd want a free flight every week when they watch the segment. Cool. Can you do that again?

Unknown Speaker 41:27

Yeah.

Cousin Bill 41:30

I got it. Yeah,

Christina Pascucci 41:33

let's do it. I'll take you for a flight.

Unknown Speaker 41:35

That'd be rad.

Christina Pascucci 41:36

If you trust me enough. I fly better than I drive. So there's that.

Unknown Speaker 41:39

I'm down.

Unknown Speaker 41:40

Wait till the AR VR stuff hits the plane. Oh, good. Yes. Oh, yeah.

Christina Pascucci 41:48

Well, he's always flying hard with Ubers doing right now. That trips me up.

John Tabis 41:53

Last episode. Yeah. We were saying like, people are terrible at driving. And there's like, gravity and brakes. Yeah, now you're gonna put them in the air. Yeah, the

Christina Pascucci 42:03

airspace in Los Angeles is freaking crazy. Nothing wrong with this idea. Yeah. Never ever anything. Nope. And just trying to communicate on the radios is a challenge when you're flying. You know, I fly out of Santa Monica a lot. Or maybe Torrance. And Torrance is easier. But Santa Monica, you're right next to lax. You're just you know, right by Burbank and Van Nuys. Is airspace. Harrison

John Tabis 42:23

Ford all the time over there.

Cousin Bill 42:25

Yes. on the golf course. Yeah.

John Tabis 42:32

As we learned last year,

Cousin Bill 42:34

what do you do with it? What

Unknown Speaker 42:35

you hung out with it? Oh, yeah. No, I

John Tabis 42:36

told the story about Disneyland Harrison Ford was next in line. And my wife didn't believe it was him because the person was wearing really bad jeans and a fanny pack. And my wife was like, it looks a lot like him. But it can't be him because he's dressed so terribly. And I was like,

Unknown Speaker 42:49

yeah, fanny packs are the best.

Cousin Bill 42:52

badass, he really, he's like, Yeah, I don't care what you think like he was

John Tabis 42:56

ordering a double scoop of chocolate over the aviators. Yeah, or the double scoop and then push them back. baller so so obviously, you're a person who wants to achieve a lot of things in your life. And I understand what you're saying about being frustrated. Like you have a career. It sucks up x hours a week, no matter what you do. But you want to try all these other things, right? When you think about sort of the long term run, right, like what's what's the future hold? Obviously, like your job here. You've been here for quite some time. Yeah. But like, what's the ultimate dream if you could, if you could achieve the the main professional thing that you want to

Unknown Speaker 43:34

visit in the united states of the United Yeah,

Christina Pascucci 43:36

I really love people. That's why I do this job. And I just started this thing on Instagram, where I'm trying to just like reach out to people and use it as something for good. So I had my Instagram followers nominate people they thought were really inspiring or making a big difference or impact in their community. And then I'm going to go either surprise them or meet with them, and just talk to them and connect. We are so buried in our phones, it drives me nuts, and I'm guilty of it too. But when you sit down and have a conversation with someone and you connect so deeply, there's just nothing better than that. And I would love to facilitate this connection between people rather than feeling like there's this huge disconnect. You know, there's there especially right now in this environment,

John Tabis 44:21

we are more connected than ever but more alone than ever at the same time.

Christina Pascucci 44:24

Yeah, but also just you know, the environment with Trump with throwing words at people and all the democrats this when you know, when Trump ran for president the first time he wasn't even a republican and he's not even a Republican. So just this whole dems repubs this them us damn thing needs to stop.

John Tabis 44:44

We talked about united America, which is that effort that we talked about when you were thinking about running and it's essentially like, let's just it's because it's all a brand problem, right? The whole thing, just a big brand problem, right? If a democrat goes out and gives an idea that a republican actually loves but It comes from a Democrat. Now it's bad, right? By definition, and then vice versa too. And so if if there's a way to get great ideas and great people outside of those labels, then the conversation can can dramatically change. But it sounds like you definitely have like big political aspirations at some point,

Unknown Speaker 45:17

at some point.

Christina Pascucci 45:18

Yeah. Maybe become an astronaut or something. And it's really casual.

Katie Rotolo 45:22

Yeah, I, I love I just wanna say I love that post. I saw I think I saw I saw the one you were. You were asking you said, it's, you wanted to talk about good news? Oh, yeah. Yeah, she says, you know, there's

Christina Pascucci 45:32

there's so much just bad news out there. So she said, you know, if there's someone you want to nominate, that's actually doing a cool, good thing for the world. Awesome. Do that. Yeah. So I thought that was really neat. Thank you. And the responses were insane. At first, I was like, oh, people are gonna be like, whatever. But people felt really passionately about and it was so cool to see the support they had for these people that they were nominating and the difference they made a different people's stories and what what people go through it's well, and the

John Tabis 46:01

like those small, like, not even necessarily small, but those things were that you're putting out goodness into the world. We all I think, not all but a lot of people want the world to be a better place. But we don't know how to manifest that we're not sure what to do. And I think just coming up with any anything, you can commit to that, even if it's tiny. You know, one of the things that I loved most about this holiday season was we went back to Ohio and my sister, who's an amazing human being wanted her kids and the whole family to focus on others to she gave everybody a $100 bill that they had to give to somebody for no reason whatsoever to be like a tip or just somebody on the street.

Cousin Bill 46:41

for the whole week, we were there like we

John Tabis 46:42

all were hunting for the most pursue. We were gonna like a lot of cash, right? Like we gave my I gave mine to the drive thru woman at dunkin donuts. She was like 22, we our total bill was $1.27. And I gave her a buck 50 in cash and then $100 bill right behind it. And our face was like she was like, didn't know what to do with ourselves. And then my wife gave one to

Unknown Speaker 47:06

the guy Amos, who is

John Tabis 47:08

the guy who was on the side of the road in pouring rain in Ohio. It was like 40 degrees freezing, just that I want to get home to Columbus for Christmas. Gave him but like those, that was the best thing. Week and it was just because we were doing good. And I like last night we went to Firestone trying to get them to be a sponsor still guys. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 47:27

Did you go there? Yeah. Last through the invite.

Cousin Bill 47:31

My wife. Yeah, sure.

John Tabis 47:33

Next time I want to Dave and wife You're all invited.

Katie Rotolo 47:40

But we won't be quadruple Dave

John Tabis 47:43

pack, you know, to go afterwards. And this dude was eating his lunch outside on the street. And I was just like, Hey, you want a beer to wash it down with it? I was like, I was

Cousin Bill 47:50

like, this was felt great. Yeah, it was like, whatever,

John Tabis 47:52

for dollar beer, right? Sure. But thank you for doing that. And for inspiring others to do those types of things. Thank you work hard to make the world a little bit better.

Katie Rotolo 48:00

Like social media, though, I think especially It sounds like you really, you know, know the power of that and you're really trying to do social good with it, you know, and reach people and, and just inspire people to do something every day. And we don't I think we can all just like get outside and do you know something to be kind to people everyday are kind to the earth like, actually Alex and I started we just I go outside every day for 10 minutes. And I intentionally pick up trash, you know, and it's just like those little amazing you you know, just like literally takes like, two seconds to collect a pile of trash, you know? And so I just like getting out and

Christina Pascucci 48:37
