Episode 158 The Irregular Jelly Belly

February 04, 2022 13:15 - 5 minutes - 7.66 MB

FROM:  JellyBelly.com *** Did you ever wonder what happens to the Jelly Belly jelly beans that are a little less than perfect or the ones that somehow escaped the Jelly Belly logo stamper? Well, those are our beloved Belly Flops! For whatever reason, the jelly beans in these bags didn’t quite make it through production as they should have. Because of this, they’re all a little bit strange and special in their own unique ways. Jelly Belly Belly Flops are no less flavorful, or lovable, th...

Episode 156 The Human Common Denominator

January 26, 2022 20:00 - 4 minutes - 5.99 MB

The Human Common Denominator Are you insulted when someone calls you a common denominator? I pulled some comments from a chat that asked that question.  The comments are interesting as to what makes a human common denominator.  It's the same as a narcissist - it's always someone else's fault. wendicooper.com [email protected] @realwendicooper Twitter @wendicreates IG Music by Tom Orsi Wendicooper.com

Episode 155 This IS Normal. Get Used To It

January 12, 2022 03:08 - 3 minutes - 10.3 MB

Posting real-time illness is just weird.   As more and more people get the virus, just like the flu, doesn't it become normal to get it, and abnormal to post while you are sick? The symptoms are the same as the flu; strep throat; pneumonia; bronchitis, whatever.  My point is that don't people die of complications if unvaccinated from the flu, et al. So what is the real difference at this point?  What weird society are we creating and living in where we have the need to share too much?...

Episode 154 Dumb & Dumber Are Alive

January 10, 2022 07:20 - 7 minutes - 15.8 MB

Dumber and Dumber a movie from 1994, starring Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels as Dumb and Dumber was a fun, silly, comedy.   Two guys that weren't very smart took off together on a road trip and took the audience along with them.  It was not real life.  In fact, it was far from it.   Today with social media and live social audio platforms so accessible, and without any best practices or rules in place,  it appears the road trip of Dumb and Dumber is in full swine, especially on Club House I'm not...

Episode 153 What Does the World Really Think?

January 07, 2022 10:30 - 8 minutes - 17.2 MB

 What Does the Global Community think about the US and the Insurrection? Today I was looking for a tidbit of "news" for this episode on the anniversary of the insurrection at the Capital.   I was on Clubhouse and found a room discussing what the rest of the world thinks about the insurrection.  It was fascinating to hear all of the opinions from other countries.   A colleague from 20 years ago pop up - it was great to hear Ben's voice and super cool to be connected in a group of 100's of...

Episode 152 Not So Sexy in the City

January 05, 2022 04:50 - 7 minutes - 16.1 MB

Is it ageist to write scripts that stereotype people over 50? ...And Just Like That, HBO MAX, the new 10 episodes of Sex in the City totally took the sex out of the city. Darren Star and Michael Patrick King you had a chance to make 50+ sexy and vibrant, and healthy.  Like in the real world. They reinvent themselves, explore new adventures and business because they are savvy superhumans living to 100 - unstoppable - still sexy in the city.   But no. You focus on hearing aids, brittle bon...

Episode 151 It Really Is "All About Me" in Season 3

January 03, 2022 18:24 - 7 minutes - 15.7 MB

In 1998 I met Phillip Keel through a friend from the Foundation Room at the House of Blues in Hollywood, CA 1997.  She was dating him, we were all in our 30's.  Phillip was the author of "All About Me" a hybrid journal that contained questions, and blank pages to fill. I remember him telling me that it was a way to leave your story behind for others to find in years to come.  (It was 1997). Of course, we all lost contact over the years.  I knew Phillip lived in Zurich when not in L.A. an...

Episode 148 What is the Creator Economy Anyway?

October 15, 2021 05:03 - 3 minutes - 5.3 MB

The Creator Economy - this term bugs me.   Is it really an economy if the Creator isn't making money and is putting in all the work?  Why is our content subject to artificial intelligence algorithms that can sink you on the whim of a line of code?  What came first the Creator or the Startup - that needs the Creator to exist?  I've been creating for 27 years, some for passion and most for my profession.  Creating content isn't something one wakes up to do..or do they? If this is a Crea...

Episode 147 A Sonic Childhood Memory

"Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage Go Together Like a Horse and Carriage..."  this song was the theme to the 80s sit-com Married with Children making in familiar to many generations.   It is the song that I hear when I think of my youth, my very young youth, like baby youth.  That's going way back.   Throughout my life that song has always sprung a connection to my mother, I hear her voice singing it, even though I haven't heard her voice for 16 years.

Episode 147 Spotify's GreenRoom Rules Social Audio

June 17, 2021 14:37 - 6 minutes - 9.62 MB

CLUBHOUSE VS. GREENROOM  Clubhouse celebrities, not to be confused with real celebrities, all took a jump over the GreenRoom last night, Spotify's new social audio app, that I feel is going to change the podcast space forever. The only problem was that if you are not a podcaster and just a ClubHouse user that has built a questionable following, then it's difficult to grasp the important of this move by Spotify and why it's the perfect storm for podcasters.  Although I tried to explain ...

Episode 146 BETA Testing Is ClubHouse's Best Friend, Again

June 15, 2021 03:33 - 5 minutes - 8.53 MB

So much money is made in credit card processing that Clubhouse spoke much too soon when they swore it was all about the creator.   Townhall is every Sunday on Clubhouse at 9AM PST.  The founders review this and that and the other thing.  Very curated.  But, this Sunday they announced that there will soon be, in the next few months, giving the ability to tip and send payments to creators in app and through Strip globally.  And, that they would be taking a percentage of that revenue. No sh...

Episode 145 Apple Podcast Wants You to Pay Me

June 12, 2021 04:31 - 4 minutes - 7.24 MB

MAKE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE :)  How often do you hear hosts say "make sure to "subscribe to my podcast"....what does that mean to you?  And why am I talking about it?  More than likely it means that they want you to "follow" the podcast and by subscribing to an Apple Podcast it won't cost you a penny, but now it may just cost you whatever...the host wants to charge. Why is podcasting becoming a pay to listen medium?  I don't have the answer to that, but I do have an opinion on how to use "s...

Welcome to my improvisational moments where I share my truth in 5-6 minutes a day.   SAY HELLO TO KARMA - I AM NOT YOUR SAVIOR Unscripted, and "unmixed" professionally, I express my truth about a "brand", and I use that term lightly, that heard me speak on Clubhouse and decided I was their next victim to blame for their bad decisions.   I would never use my voice to belittle, berate, or call anyone out in public for their actions, but these (2) people deserve every ounce of karma I can ...

May 27, 2021 18:37 - 6 minutes - 9.45 MB

I speak with my alter ego about getting back to the studio and what I've learned from the pandemic and what needs to change as we go back to work and see, smell and work with each other again.  Is it really a new normal, or is just a better version of normal.   Unfiltered and unedited.  I love improv.  What do you think?  Make sure to subscribe for free - and to check out the 140 episodes below...starting with number 1!   Thanks for listening.  www.wendicooper.com www.cspotrun.com ...

Episode 141 It's Been A Minute - Who Said It First?

March 31, 2021 05:24 - 6 minutes - 9.14 MB

It's been a minute is a phrase used to express the opposite of what it sounds like it means.  Which can be extremely confusing yet fun at the same time.  Like "cool" or "bitch'n". When is it appropriate to use it and when not?   Have you ever wondered, who said it first?  Does it translate well?   What does "it's been a minute" sound like to others?   It's a fun episode of not so thought provoking banter, but hey, it was one of those nights, and it's really has been a minute. Thanks for...

Today, I decided to visit my mother with my friend Hannah.  I never really thought about finding Kobe's resting place before, but today we set out to find it.   Tripping around a cemetery with another fellow jew - is quite the celebration of joy...I"m serious.  ClubHouse @wendicooper www.wendicooper.com ...

Episode 139 Clubhouse Opens Up The Pearly Gates

March 09, 2021 04:38 - 4 minutes - 7.38 MB

March 7, 2021 Clubhouse Open Ups the Pearly Gates  This week Clubhouse opened "club" creation to everyone.  In fact, not only did one get to create one club, but 2.   I don't know about you but when there are too many choices the first thing I do as a consumer is run the other way. By opening up the Club creation to everyone it diluted the importance of the "early adopters" who have a huge following, pretty much by default and had dominated the "club" scene for a long time - giving gro...

Episoded 138 Sarah Silverman Apologizes to Paris Hilton

March 06, 2021 05:58 - 7 minutes - 10.7 MB

Sarah Silverman has a podcast IGTV, which is where I came across her very public plea to be forgiven for being a jerk to Paris Hilton 14 years ago at the 2007 MTV Awards. You see, Paris Hilton has a podcast too and she called-out Sarah Silverman by saying that what she did to Paris in 2007 would never be allowed today.  It's culturally unacceptable. Sarah claims she sent an apology the next day and never knew that Paris didn't get it until now.   After all, why would Pari care about a no...

Father Time Returns Life hasn't been the same since March 2020, just week before my 65th birthday - 3/20/2020.

It only too 12 days for my prediction from Episode 132 on January 18th, to come true.  Slime Time Big Time on Club House. I remember once someone saying to me, "You have the podium use it wisely."   Some of the best advice I've gotten in my career and it has always stood the test of time, until Club House. It was like a huge slime bomb fell on the new social media love child sent to us from Silicon Valley to make us all feel inclusive and heard.  It's a great concept, and can work in mode...

EVEN MODERATORS NEED MODERATION on CLUBHOUSE Updated February 2, 2022 Nothing has changed. The problem continues. Clubhouse allows everyone to moderate rooms, or tracks, under any topic you like.  It's like VC heaven all in one stop.  Want to make a movie, no problem. Be a Voice actor, easy peasy.

EVEN MODERATORS NEED MODERATION on CLUBHOUSE If you have a bad experience in a room on Club House does it sour your taste for the entire app? Let's say your first 3 rooms are a disaster - as an audience member.  Or you agree to be a speaker and the Moderator fights with the audience? Or no one shows up at all.   What type of impression would that leave you on the ClubHouse brand? ClubHouse allows everyone to MODERATE and that, I get the reason for it, but I don't think it is sustain...

ClubHouse the New Live Drop In Conversation App will maKe you want to have a cig.

New Years' Eve Is For The Bourgeoisie Is 2021 the year the world changes for the better?   Does the changing of a digit make the world suddenly wake up and do the right thing?   Why do we pretend to celebrate the passing of one year to the other as a time of change, or resolve?   Do we need a reason to make a change in our lives, does the changing of a year, give us that reason?  And if so, why?  On December 31, 2020, thousands of people couldn't breathe, and some took their last ...

UNCLE EDDIE and THE CHICKEN RIDDLE Every year my Great Uncle Eddie would show up for a couple of hours and just before he left he would ask us the same question.  "Why did the chicken cross the road?"   I was probably 13 the last time I saw him.  At 65 years old, I finally came to realize what my Great Uncle Eddie was teaching us. So, 60 years later I thought I would share that with you, right here in a podcast.  Uncle Eddie would surely be proud. So, why did the chicken cross the...

Getting Stuck in the Muck - F-ck It!  This is just nothing worse than having writer's block as a writer.  Or a creative block when you need to spin an idea and win the client.   It's torturous when I am not able to express myself.  I go through the process of creating and dismissing and creating and deleting.  Never satisfied, never finished.   Until I say..."f-ck it." Let me know if you can relate. Wendi www.wendicoooper.com [email protected]

December 23, 2020 13:00 - 6 minutes - 10.5 MB

A WeWork Culture Is Forced to Work at Home, Alone I will not imagine a world of working remotely as the norm.  No thank you.   Why?  Because it's not human.  It is isolating.  It creates heaps of loneliness.  It breeds mental health issues. We are human and need to hunt, gather, smell, feel, touch, listen, and use our 5 senses to communicate in more ways than a one-dimensional screen. It simply is not how any generation should be asked to work.  I have worked from home for 25 year...

The COVID Zone vs. Twilight Zone I went to grab the starting few seconds of a Twilight Zone opening, you know the familiar music, to start the episode when what happened next was unexpected.   After listening to the opening with Rod Serling, his words were so poignant and relevant living in COVID today, that it inspired this episode.   Twilight zone: "A dimension of sight.  A dimension of sound.  A dimension of mind.    A place of ideas, imagination, substances, and shadows."
