You are listening to the Daily Roundup here as part of the Reality Steve podcast. I’m your host, Reality Steve. Thank you all for tuning in. Good Friday show for you heading into the weekend. I’ve got an anniversary to go over that I forgot to bring up two days ago. Gonna touch a little bit more on yesterday’s interview with Kristen Burt.
Why? Because I think Val Shmurkovsky might have been listening to my podcast yesterday. I’ll tell you why. I am going to talk briefly about the United health CEO that was shot, but not anything political about it or anything behind it. I saw a headline on an entertainment site and they don’t understand why this is even relevant to the story.
And also there’s a show out there that I read a headline to, and now I’m like, should I be watching this show? Get to all that momentarily. Let’s start out with this. I’ve always blanked on what day, and I don’t know why I’ve always blanked on this. It should be ingrained into my head, but does anybody know what December 4th, 2016 was today’s December 6th, but I’ve always mixed up the fourth and the sixth when it comes to this date, I don’t know why I can’t ingrain the fourth into my head.
Well, that’s when the reality see podcast started. So today, well, not today, two days ago was the eight year anniversary. Now, if you all remember when I started, it was a once a week podcast, and it was a once a week podcast from December 4th, 2016, up until July of 2022. But ever since July 11th, 2022, when I added the daily roundup, it was a once a week show.
But for six years, it was a once a week show. Then the daily roundup came along, kept the Thursday show. And then January of 2023 is when I added the sports daily. If you would have told me on December 4th, 2016, that I would still be doing a weekly podcast. I don’t know if I would have said you were crazy, but I don’t know if I would have believed you either.
Because at that point, we just didn’t know where media was going. Now podcasts have just become bigger and bigger and everybody has one. But as I like to point out, and this isn’t some sort of actually, you know what, maybe it is a little patting myself on the back, but when I started out this podcast, I was the only person in the bachelor world that was doing a weekly podcast where I would interview a former contestant.
I think there might’ve been. Two or three other bachelor podcasts out there. But I was the first one to do the weekly and say, Hey, let me interview so and so who was on so and so season. And now obviously everybody does it, but just remember who was the first. And, uh, just a shout out to all of you. I don’t know how many of you listening right now.
We’re around on December 4th, 2016, probably not a lot of you. There might be some old schoolers, uh, that have listened from the beginning. I went back and listened to like the first two minutes of that podcast. And it’s just, it’s not like I sound like a rookie or anything. Cause I had been on the radio, uh, plenty of times before that.
And this is essentially radio, but I don’t know. When I went back and listened to it, it just sounded weird. It just, I don’t know how to describe it. It just didn’t, I obviously didn’t have a flow yet. And. Hear me flow now. No, I just, I just didn’t, it felt a little jumbled and it was basically me just introducing myself to a different audience, an audio audience telling you about a little bit more about my background and my career.
Uh, it’s still there. If you go to Apple podcasts or probably even Spotify as well. And just go to all episodes and then just scroll, probably take you about 10 or 15 seconds. Just scroll as fast as you can back to the very first episode. You yourself can go listen to it today or whenever. Go listen to it this weekend.
You tell me, you think I sound the same as I do now? I don’t think I do at least in the few minutes that I listened to. But anyway, eight year anniversary was this week and I missed it because for whatever reason, I’ve always had it in my head. I started December 6th, 2016, but no, it’s December 4th. I got to figure out how I can remember December 4th.
I mean, I guess I could put it in my phone. Nope. There’s your answer, Steve. You just answered your own question. I might as well just put it in my phone and set it as a yearly reminder. Hey, today’s anniversary day. So thanks to all of those who have been around from the beginning. If you haven’t been around from the beginning, totally understand.
Podcasts weren’t really that popular in 2016, but if you’re around now, that’s what matters the most. And I appreciate all of you who have contributed by the way, next week. I’m going to have information on the reality. Steve fan appreciation party. You know, it’s going to be May 31st, 2025 in Las Vegas. I will have details.
It looks like coming probably Tuesday because I’m finalizing. It looks like I’m going to finalize everything on Monday, but obviously things can change eyes and dotted and T’s crossed if it doesn’t happen Monday, but it looks like it’s going to happen next week. So. Like I’ve said all along, I’ve said for a couple months now, the party’s going to be on May 31st, 2025.
You don’t need to stay in the hotel that the party is at. You can stay wherever you want. So, if you’re interested in coming to the party, out of state people who are flying in, your confirmation for the party is sending me your flight itinerary and the names of everybody who’s coming and their flight itineraries.
If you are driving in, your confirmation is your hotel confirmation and if you’re a Vegas local, just promise me you won’t flake. That’s how you get into the party. This is going to be the biggest one I’ve ever had. So I will have details about it. It’s going to be a little bit different than previous years, but in a good way, if you’ve been to a party in the past, you know what it is consisted of for the longest time, it was just a party in my room last year, removed it to the Venetian, my favorite hotel, the restaurant there, which is the grand luxe cafe.
We had a back room to ourselves. I mean, I loved the food that they provided in the first. Seven years. I did the party. It was from a local catering company in Las Vegas. I thought they were great, but their food was excellent. Grand Lux. I don’t want to disparage the catering company that did provide the food, the first seven years of the party, but the grand Lux blew.
I mean, that food was excellent last year, and I’m not just saying that. I got a lot of compliments from those who attended and it’s not going to be at the Grand Lux this year. I will say that because, and the re and I’ll tell you next week, but it’s not going to be at a Grand Lux, but it is going to be the biggest.
I’m going to have. I’m going to have room to have the most amount of people I’ve ever had at this party. So I got to see how RSVPs come in and determines when I got to cut it off. But, uh, if you want to come, you’re not going to get shut out and literally unless you message me, you know, two weeks before the event, but if you want to come, just know it’s May 31st, 2025, which is also my birthday and it’s my 50th.
So it’s going to be a, it’s going to double as. A 50th birthday celebration along with the fan appreciation party. So I’m going to do something a little extra next year for the party. But if you’re interested by all means, it’s first come first serve. It doesn’t cost you anything and beer, open beer and wine bar for the duration of the party.
There will be food there as well. That’s free. So, uh, it’s my thank you every year that I throw, uh, you guys are what make it possible. You’re the reason why I’m able to throw this party and I’m able to pay for it and cover still looking for a sponsor if anybody’s interested, but even if we don’t get a sponsor, doesn’t matter.
Party’s happening May 31st, 2025 in Las Vegas. Next week, I’ll have more details for you and I’ll fill you in on that probably on Tuesday. So one thing I wanted to talk about. Was yesterday in the interview with Kristen Bert going over dancing with the stars, man I thought I had a brilliant idea because that literally came to me as I was recording with her I was like Why don’t they go to adding half points for the scores because going from a 7 to an 8 and then an 8 to a 9 It’s just like okay once you get a 9 It’s just it’s so hard to determine.
What’s an 8? What’s a 9? What’s a 10 everybody’s got a different criteria all the judges do and then she told me oh, yeah They did that one other season. I was like, oh crap, but I had a great season Idea here. This podcast is brought to you by Prolon by El Nutra. I’ve always been afraid of any diet that included fasting because for me.
I didn’t want to fast. I wanted to eat. The thought of not eating for extended periods of time kind of freaked me out a little bit. It sounded not very easy to do, especially for someone who liked food. So when I found out that Prolon by El Nutra was fasting but with food, it made me rethink everything.
This is a game changer. Prolon is a revolutionary plant based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe they are fasting. And that’s exactly what it’s doing for me. Lost 20 pounds since March. They came aboard, they give me food, but it doesn’t fill me up yet. It keeps my cells thinking that I’m not eating, which is exactly what I want to do.
It’s not a diet though. It’s science science based on Nobel prize winning discoveries in medicine. And this all starts with Prolon’s five day program, snacks, soups, beverages, all designed to keep your body in a fasting state. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
