Bridget Flynn joins me on Not That Deep to talk bodegas, beers and blowouts- her signature everything. She’s from the midwest and used to live in Chicago - after moving to New York she was creating content but nothing really felt like IT. One day when she was getting ready to go out she was craaaving a beer but was in her rollers from her blowout. She then thought… wait what if I just GOT my beer with my rollers in, then she recorded it, and instantly the people loved it. She is herself, she is amazing, and it’s not that deep!!! Thank you so much for listening.
Re-wearing work clothes and wedding dresses is not that deep - it's just not.!
Crying in public is not that deep. I should seriously get this tattoo’d on my lower back at this point. Crying in public is chic, it is the moment and it actually feels really good. Expressing yourself in public, for some, can feel freeing (and if you highly disagree, then I respect how you feel)... duh. There is something about letting emotions run buck wild in the chaos of a city that feels illegal - yet so many do it. Everyone has their own list, their own worries, their own train of thought that is gnawing at them - not just you. This episode also starts off with me breaking down the character assignments from the movie Matilda. Net net - justice for Agatha Trunchbull. She is not the villain in my eyes - never was, never will be. Like yeah Matilda you don’t need to be eating more chocolate your friend Bruce is the one you should be worried about not dear Aggie. Enjoy - XO
Welcome to episode 2 of my NTDOTD Friday segments. Getting Up to Pee on an Airplane is Not That Deep!
I had this brain blast of an idea 20 minutes before the podcast. Not that deep has been a success in a lot of thanks to my daily “not that deep of the days”. I usually record them for 40 seconds or less because I like it to be a bit more snappy. Makes it more quick & delicious. But could I go on for MINUTES on some of these “not that deep of the days”? Yes. Will I? As of 20 minutes before I recorded, yes. It’s Not That Deep to speak up if you’re out to dinner and recognize you owe a lot less money.
Do you know anyone in your life who you see on the Internet and you just.keep.laughing? I stumbled upon Andrea’s video’s back in 2019, and over the years, thanks to happen stance chance and purposeful action I’ve gotten to know her more and she really is in real life who she is online. Andrea does impressions that make me sob of people like Teresa Giudice and Kourtney Lemme Kardash, she also has a podcast with Anna Roisman called ‘Big Wigs’ and creates content, dabbles in stand up and more. What’s great about Andrea is she’s a actually just a good person, and you’ll be able to hear this, and hear way more about her in episode 60 (whoa!!) now!!
HEY YOU GUYS! Here with a solo episode, I'm always like... what if I have nothing to talk about? And then I laugh because there is always something to talk about (just ask my therapist). Pretzel rods make a guest appearance, I literally love pretending to smoke a cigarette with my pretzel rods - I'm 28. I finally found an apartment, it was a process that I don't bore you with but like yeah... I'm gonna talk about it. I almost got scammed into spending an arm and a leg on a gym, I broke the fast with chopped liver and someone quoted me to my face on the street the other day. Thank you for listening to episode 59 of Not That Deep!
Corey Yoskowitz, NYC comic, host of the Yosko Show and mommy’s little meatball joins me on Not That Deep to talk about everything everywhere all at once. Corey immediately guesses what my present for him was which was funny because usually I am not predictable - news flash - I do not like being predictable. Corey thinks a lot is not that deep - eating alone, changing your style and most importantly when your food comes too early. Corey’s take on the Mets game is it only costs $20, no matter how many concessions he eats - debatable. Check out Corey on Instagram @yoskoooo.
You might recognize Josh Rosen from the internet, but if you don’t, now you do. Josh worked in corporate, having 3 jobs in 1 year (WHAT?!?!) NO seriously why do people think you need to stay in a job you’re miserable in for a year and THEN look - it’s not that deep. One day Josh posted himself having a tantrum in the office, after going viral, something he had only dreamed of, the universe did its thing, and in tandem, so did he. From misery Monday to tantrum Tuesday, Josh posted hysterical videos that spanned from tantrums to his love for theater and laying in bed. Success hit so fast that within the first week of explosion on the internet he got an agent and two brand deals. I love talking to Josh - he makes me laugh and is just a genuine good person. Give him a follow at @joshrosen_
Yeah … we’re going to crack up. Amanda Piacquadio and I have the longest last names in the history of last names and that’s just a fact. Amanda is my coworker and makes me so happy when skies are gray. She is funny, stunning inside & out, approachable, delightful, hysterical, vulnerable and real. Amanda brings a fresh perspective, talking about substack, the year of tooting your own horn, the library and why she is and has always been that bitch, BRAVO, feeling your sad and why productivity is … not that deep. Thank you so much for listening and yes, I am aware that Demi Lovato has an upcoming album with my podcast title. Waiting for my podcast lawyer to reach out.
I got my hair straightened and started acting different. Today’s episode I beep bop around- topics covered are writing cards, cow print clothing, Yenta’s and not getting into a sorority. I love nothing more than writing a card - it comes straight from the heart. Actually, the only thing I love more than writing a card is receiving a hand written one. It’s filled with love - screw a gift, write me a little something. OK and get me a gift too. When I was in college I went through sorority recruitment and didn’t get into any sorority I liked so I dropped out - is this my villain arc? I feel like I could talk about cult recruitment forever, there needs to be more documentaries about it. I ended up rushing again and got into the sorority I loved. We were referred to as the store brand sorority - mega personality hires and funny real gals. All works out the way it needs to and honestly, it’s not that deep.
Alcohol has been consumed by me since 8th grade; and it has consumed a greater part of my adult life until last summer. My decision to cut out alcohol did not stem from a desire to be healthy, remove hangovers, decrease brain fog, fear of blacking out or social anxiety. My decision to remove alcohol from my lifestyle came from recognizing that I feel my best self when I do not have alcohol in me. I want to be able to control how I feel, I want to remember, I want to connect and most importantly, I want to be present. I would actually freak out if you told my 20 year old self I stopped drinking. I would be so worried … do you have friends? Do you go out? Are you okay? Alcohol has always been a side character in my life, and at the age of 27, going 28, one I don't need and one I don’t want. If I wanted to drink tomorrow, I would. I am driving this bus. Having the knowledge of what works best for me, is a power. Being able bodied, having a healthy body and taking care of it the best that i can is what works best for ME. You do not need to drink to be somebody, to have fun, to be you. You need to do what works best for you. For me, this has been a year of realization and change. Listen along and feel free to reach out with questions.
A common cold thought it could take me down, and it did, but I wouldn’t let it get in the way of episode 53. I had a bachelorette party this past weekend, and I had so much fun, I am totally pro bachelorette parties but NO pedal and pub. Begging. Have I done it? Yeah. Do I need to do it again? No and don’t venmo request me to split it. I posed a news worthy thought provoking question and discuss it - do you come from a sleep supportive family or a non sleep supportive family? I didn’t know that by asking this I would go MF’in viral but thats the way the cookie crumbles. And then i talk viral - what does this mean to me - what does it mean to you - my goal is to not be numbers focused but authentically laughter and joy focused. I am overwhelmed at the messages I have received on Not That Deep, thank you for your engagement, acceptance and for being you!!!
Grace Finerman and I met on a weekend trip to Budapest when we studied abroad. After we met, we stayed in touch solely through social media, Grace was a news reporter in various markets after graduating from the University of Michigan. One day, after being used to seeing videos of Grace reporting her sweet little tushy off, I saw a video of her passing out samples in a New York City park. I literally was like … is that Grace? WTF is she passing out? Turns out after cooking to pass time, get healthy and provide herself entertainment during her news days, she locked in a recipe for a chocolate caramel date snack that would eventually be called Date Smarter. The video was of Grace giving out samples to people in parks, trying to get them to try her snacks. Little did she know, 3+ years later she is in Erewhon, Shop Rite, Fairway Markets, Happier Grocery, more, and growing… Grace is a hoot to talk to, and she has an incredible entrepreneurial spirit. Quitting what you thought was your dream job to pursue your actual dream job is not that deep!!! Enjoy, and thank you so much for listening.
Join me as I have the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with Michelle Parente, who I first met when I took her Fuze House class. Michelle’s willingness to say YES to opportunity is inspiring, and has landed her some incredible positions that are just the beginning for her. I loved listening to Michelle talk about teaching - her face lights up and it’s amazing to watch people do what they love most. A fellow collegiate Virginian, Michelle double majored in Psychology and Journalism, deciding towards the end of her college career to pick up Journalism. After talking with her, I felt motivated to get to bed earlier, wake up earlier, seize the day, find joy in my mornings and of course remembering... it's not that deep. Enjoy !!!!
My episodes do not really have a roadmap. Of course, if I am interviewing someone I am read up on who they are, I know going into it what I want to know, and an idea of what I want to ask, but leaving the ~hour long conversation up to chance is what I like. Sometimes I will have an idea of what I want to talk about, but the uniqueness of this show is you might just get a train of thought, structured to the best of my ability. My point is, what comes out is not pre planned or rehearsed. I think being able to be vulnerable and say what i want is powerful, and at first it felt scary. But now I can say with confidence whatever I want, about myself, my experiences, my stories. Thank you so much for listening. This episode I talk about how hit clips were the first TikTok, Bento Boxes,, how I ‘take advantage of being young’, social anxiety and my experiences, and the importance of a hype person. Thank you so much for listening.
One day during my everyday commute to work, I started to hear these bright voices in the subway that after passing the turnstiles, appeared as two men. These two guys were so cheery, greeting everyone who passed, I couldn’t help but greet them right back. After the first week of “good mornings” and “have a great day”, I needed to know their names. Derrick Blocker and Danny Perez are the two guys keeping Union Square peppy. They quickly went from the guys who I said good morning to, to the guys who I hug every morning, running between the two since they stand on opposing sides of the entrance. I tend to stand for 2-4 minutes and watch them do their thing, no matter the time of morning. I watch in awe as they greet little kids, older folk, the regulars, the new commuters, dogs and people alike. People they see every day, and ones they only see once, but make a lasting impression on nonetheless. Derrick and Danny are celebrities as far as I’m concerned. They brighten everyone’s days who pass them, and there is no greater power than kindness. I had Danny and Derrick on Not That Deep not only to share them with you, but to get to know them as individuals. I learned a lot about them, and most importantly I learned that Derrick loves an apple juice at the diner, and Danny prefers butter pecan iced coffee more than the rest. Thank you so much for listening.
When I first had the idea to sublet for the entire summer, moving apartments every month, lots questioned me. Duh. I bet you’re reading this like “why…….?” At this time in my life, I find change exciting. I find disrupting a routine to be magical, as I never know what it will bring. My lease was up in May, and I decided to take the summer to “try out” new neighborhoods. I had only lived in one place, why not try some other places out for size. I was open to anything, and the universe and my community came majorly into play. This is why you should always ask - put what you want out there- you never know what will come from it. Living in different places for 30 days encourages me to live it to the fullest- this can mean trying a lot of new things, going out, seeing new areas, but it can also mean finding where feels like home, is there a park I am drawn to? A coffee shop? A new subway stop that puts a smile on my face? (Nothing will ever beat Union Square, we already knew this). We study abroad if we are able, right? Why? To see new cultures, try new things, expand your comfort zone. You don’t need to go to Europe to do that. Where can you expand your comfort zone locally? Enjoy episode 48 of Not That Deep.
Ella Katz is an all around great person. Ella was introduced to me by my friend Jacky Norris who told me, “you guys are doing to be obsessed with each other” - and she was correct. Ella is not only well spoken - she is bright, she is a connector, she is a driver of change, a seeker of truth. Ella left her big girl job a few weeks ago and now has a show, now podcast called Taller Toddlers. She has accurately nailed that the key to happiness is doing the things we loved as a child, when there wasn’t a care. We talk about the power of a morning routine and your after work time and why it is so important to listen to that voice in your head. Ella is a breath of fresh air, check her out and check out Taller Toddlers, you’ll be so happy you did.
I met Felipe outside of my gym a few weeks ago, he was holding a sign up advertising his app Amrap; a Virtual AI Trainer. If you can bear having a lot of people pass by casting judgment and not caring, you’re my cuppa tea! Felipe and Ignacio de Sande Palma Ignacio now leads product and strategy and Felipe shapes the company’s training philosophy and user experience. Their co-founder (not interviewed, or a brother), Juan, leads the technology aspect. I talk to these two about their stories, Felipe was a dentist, Ignacio an engineer. We laugh a lot - duh - but also get to know who these two are, what they came from, and where they hope to be. Enjoy and check out AMRAP.AI.
