In Episode 9 of Clocked Out with Joe & Abel, we sit down with Patti Diaz from Power 102 for a conversation about radio, relationships, personal growth, and the journey that brought her to where she is today.

Patti shares stories from more than 30 years in radio, talks about her original dream of studying child psychology, and explains how life ultimately led her toward media and entertainment.

We also get into her unique approach to first dates, including the controversial question: If you offer to pay for the tip, should you expect the other person to let you? Joe definitely has an opinion. 😂

Patti also opens up about her divorce and the important role her Power 102 co-host Mike Dee played in helping her through that difficult chapter.

And there’s a special moment for Clocked Out: Patti brought Joe & Abel a bottle of mezcal to celebrate the show’s first 1,000 Instagram followers—a milestone she helped us reach in more ways than one. Patti was giving us advice and guidance before Clocked Out even officially started.

It’s a conversation about radio, friendship, relationships, resilience, and the people who believe in you before anyone else does.
