Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Firms Presents show? So you know, what is it weird?
You bring up a question to a room full of
people and you find out you all have something in common,
something you never ever would have talked about any other time.
(00:25):
Where's Daniel's room? There you are. Here's my question. I
don't want to see how many people say yes. I
bet almost everyone in this room is going to say
yes to this question. Do you stand up when you
eat meals in your house? In your kitchen, you make
yourself dinner? Do you stand up and eat? You have
a family, that's it. I feed the kids first, and
then my husband's usually like working at the same time
there's eating, and then I'm like eating on the go
(00:46):
as I'm cleaning up or getting it's ready for a
sporting activity. So yeah, Danielle eats standing up? Scary? Do
you stand up when you eat at home? I do
because I don't have a family and have no one
to talk to. I said, figured, what's the point of
messing up a whole table? Just stand up and get
stand up and eat. Brody, you have a whole family. Yeah,
that's why I stay in the kitchen stand up, Garrett,
do you stand up when you eat? I sit down.
(01:07):
My wife and I eating shifts, so I'll sit down
but eat quickly in under like five minutes, and then
switch off with her because it's like I get to sit.
You have kids, so you sit down, but it's very quickly. Yeah, Nate,
do you sit down or I do? And I have
a very interesting reason why why. Because when I would
get home from work, I'd be so tired. There were
times where I would sit down with like a tuna
(01:28):
fist sandwich or something like that, and I would just
fall asleep with a sandwich in your lap, with a
sandwich in my lap, not even a bite taken out
of it, I would just sit down and fall asleep.
So we all have different reasons why we stand up
and eat, and Garrett being the only one, I stand
up when I eat because Max begs for food. If
I'm sitting down, he tries to jump up with my lap,
(01:50):
so I gotta stand up, so now he just kind
of crawls up my leg. But it's you know, at
least I can eat. But there are so many people
who just don't sit down. And to tell you that
you that's not great for you to not sit down.
You're really supposed to sit down. Well wait a minute now.
According to Scary, the body is made up in such
a way we're sitting down and standing up. It's very,
(02:12):
very different when it comes to digestion. Absolutely. My uncle
Peter told me once when and I were this stuck
with me throughout my entire life, that it's better to
eat standing up because the food just goes straight down
and it doesn't have to make a turn. Do we're
sitting down turn? I'm sitting down right now. And if
you're supposed to sit so that your stomach gets filled faster,
you're compressing your abdomen by being bent. Is that true? Yeah?
(02:35):
This is way you eat a normal meal. If you
lay down, like when you get tight pants on, you
lay down and get your tight pants on. If you
lay down, there's nothing making you feel tighter. If you sit,
your belly feels fuller because you're sitting on it and
you're bending it. I don't believe any of this. I mean,
if you think about it, yeah, I mean that makes
sense to look. I'm sitting down right now, you have
(02:55):
less room in your stomach. I do believe. I don't
know stand up. All right, Look God, an extra sandwich
in there. Go out tonight, Eat until you're completely full,
then stand up and you'll see how much more room
you are. Seems logical? Okay? Is this are you? Are
(03:17):
you messing with me right now? That's le no No,
I mean look look physically, look at you. It doesn't
make a turn. The Peter was onto something. I don't
know what you are an empt You should know this
is not. If they're standing up, your body is elongated,
don't you don't you believe that? But if you have
good posture from the waistep, it doesn't matter if you're staying.
(03:40):
Go back to what Brody was saying. Let's say you
have really tight pants on versus loose pants. Mr. Don't
you think Mr tye pants can eats less because the
tight pants make the stomach smaller. Okay, I mean that
kind of makes sense. You're sitting down, you're doing the
same thing that tight pants will do it. Right, Okay,
you have tight pants on the cruise, were you able
to eat? I did undo the button? Actually you had
(04:04):
to undo the button to breathe. Fairness, your stomach undid
the button? Those were some tight parents. I know this
has nothing to do with what we're talking about right now.
But who doesn't try on their pants before they packed them? Listen,
I had it tailored a year ago I wore to
a wedding and then I thought, oh, I haven't. I
still look exactly the same as as I did a
(04:26):
year ago. I look exactly the same as you leave
the room on the ship. Uh very actually waddling. Yeah,
I know when it feels like, because I put on
a pair of jeans about two months ago that I
thought i'd fit into and I sat down at a
Broadway show and the button popped off during the show,
so I crossed my legs, and because there were jeans,
(04:48):
the zipper came down just a little bit. They started
to slide down my pants. And it was a type
of Broadway show where if you got up before the
show started, you weren't allowed to sit in your seat.
So I had to sit through the whole first act
of the show with my pants practically around my ankles. Cool, SpongeBob,
small pants. Okay, you might be right about people. What
did you find out? Okay, there was a research done.
(05:09):
Research study. Canadian researchers asked one group of people to
eat food while standing over a kitchen counter, while second
group eight off a plate sitting down at the table
at the next meal, standards more than the sitters. And
do they say why it's very researching sounds like my kids,
(05:31):
Why why? Why? Well, it's obvious we we gave you
the answer. Why because you have more room if you're
standing up. Uncle Peter did research and that's what he
came up with. Un food takes a turn, there's no turn.
There a restaurant where everyone's standing up, then there is
a pizza places we have the leg but like nice
restaurants then because then obviously you were to order more, right,
(05:52):
I would think, but you know, if it's nice, I
want to sit out. What what about when you work
standing up? You know that people have stand up workstations?
Do you get more done because you're standing up? For
they say? They say, you're you're, you're. There's a higher
percentage of productivity productivity if you're standing because you can
move around and your posture on that one too, because
(06:13):
unlike eating, you're eating for maybe five and fifteen minutes.
When you're working, you're working for eight hours standing up.
When I eat standing up, I don't eat it all
in one like what, I'll take a bite and then
I go over and I do something, and then I
come back and take another bite, and I go over
and I do something over here? Is good? Probably not?
Maybe think I forget to eat. You feed everyone else
and I forget about me. What are you finding out?
You have this perplexed look yet again? Now there's conflicting
(06:36):
studies that say it doesn't matter at all. I like
the first one. And by the way, why would a
restaurant want you to stand up and eat and eat more?
They want you to feel false so you feel like
your money's worth I don't know. I think they want
you want to make money though, Yeah you know, I
think Brodie's right, because you're not gonna order more, You're
just gonna eat what they bring to your your table.
What I would like to think that restaurants want you
(06:56):
to stand up so you can eat quicker and get
the hell out so they could turn that tape. Well,
isn't there a Japanese steakhouse chain that's in New York
and some other places around the country where they serve
your entire steak dinner you stand at a ledge. I
guess because they like a ten minute steak dinner. They
give you the food, they get you out. Scary's right,
they get boom boom bo. I don't want that, do you?
Is that what you want when you go out to eat? What? Nate?
What are you still looking at? And now it's saying
(07:17):
that laying down is good like the ancient Roman choked
and then they use a crane to get you out
of your apartment. I don't know. I might try laying
down and eating my next meal. Bet you will do that? Hey,
I can we play places for a vote? Put this
up for a vote? Please? Are there some foods we
(07:39):
can ban from this workplace? Yes? Which one? Whatever Brody eats,
whether it be a condition, let's hear him out whine
because Brody leaves it in the microwave for over a
half hour to an hour, the toaster, and it just
it smells up the entire office, and Brodie forgets about it.
(07:59):
Then he comes back and then he eats it. So
now he brings that smell into the studio. He stinks
up the entire area. I will tell you, Brodie and scary,
and I've learned this about you throughout the years. When
you get a plate of food while we're eating or
in doing the show. You leave it. You just leave
it over there at your workstation and you walk in
and you leave it there for hours and we're sitting there, like,
what still smells like stuff? That's with crumbled napkin? Yeah,
(08:21):
it's like the napkins next to the plate. Why do
you leave that in here? I make it hungry again.
Why don't we don't want you to have that in here?
We want you to you have an allotted time to
eat together. I don't like wasting food. Well, then put
it on your desk. On my show on the ship,
they wouldn't let me put take the pork chop back
to my room. Why wouldn't they let you take a
pork chop? They said, it's um transference of possible contaminations
(08:41):
from from level to level, and it's it's a health Really,
I never heard of that. I was called the manager over.
So what happened? What happened when you call the manager over? Well,
at some point I realized I was a guest of
the ship, and I decided to just, you know, bite
the bullet. And my daughter decided not to complain either
to take her steak back either. It was upset. This
(09:02):
is what you have to your children. They are exactly
like you. But don't waste that steak. And if we
had paid for that steak, it would be a very
expensive steak. But you want my kids to appreciate, okay,
the value of good food. Can't we talk about what
happened to you guys at the show on board? The
loud the loud drunk like happened to Scary I happened
to her? Yeah, I was very embarrassed. I was sitting
(09:24):
next to this woman who was inebriated, and and everyone
was around me. They were was in front of me,
My kids were in front of this woman. Yeah, And
all of a sudden, she's just started speaking out loud.
She tried to have engage me in conversation during the
entire Havannah show, And all of a sudden, these women
came out in the show and they were scared, like
(09:45):
they were in thongs or whatever. And she goes, I
don't understand this part of that. Do you we really
need to see that? She says this out loud. Everyone's
trying to enjoy the show and this loud drunk ladies
in my ear, she's poking me you could have seen
scary because it was like he's in that seat and
(10:05):
he's has his elbows into his sides and he's so
uncomfortable looking like he's like, this show can't be over
quick enough. Doesn't even get out of here. I want
to go near the armrest. That's how big he was, like,
I just want to go away. There was a scene
with a husband talks about how much he loves his
wife and she goes, my husband loves me more than that.
Oh my god. Okay, so you're trying to see this
(10:27):
really really well done show which is on board No
Region blizz And then finally someone had the guts to
say shut up. Froggy's wife, Lisa turns around and says, listen,
you really have to stop talking. You need to shut up.
Like she just turned around and told her. She put
her arm on the wad, and then the lady goes,
did sit touch me? This woman just tell me to
(10:50):
shut off. That was actually after because I started, I
went away, went, I whistled, and she looked at me,
went and I gave her mean face, and she just
did say, just you just told me that, I said,
shut up. I gave her that look, right, so THENT
Lisa tapped her and did the whole thing and just
did she just touched me? So I said, no, seriously,
(11:14):
shut up. That was the last I ever heard. The
whole audience heard. Oh yeah, And the show Havannah was awesome.
We were closed to the stage a million dollars just
for the clothing in the show. It was such a
good show. And we're sitting there and my kids all
they can remember now is that was awesome, so funny
(11:35):
that drunk lady was awesome? Did she ever shut up?
After the second time? And Froggy's son cade and says
to me, Brody, you're cool. You told that lady? And
she almost fell on everyone at the end of the show,
and she got up to walk out. If I hadn't
gotten up, she would have fallen on me. It looked
like the boat was rocking, but the boat wasn't moving.
(11:55):
Are you sure that wasn't Uncle Johnny not at that point?
Oh my god. Apparently she was a very high like
investment person or I I missed Uncle Johnny's big finale
on Saturday night because I had to leave. Yeah, So
we went to UH District and our friend Jim is
(12:17):
the piano player, singer, they're the performer, and he's he's
a great performer. He'll do do a couple of songs,
you'll sing along, He'll he'll kind of insult everyone who's
walking in or out, and then he's sings somewhere. He's
really funny. So Uncle Johnny had a drink or two
or three, and he kept taking off his tupai and
putting in on other people. So by the end of
the night everyone had worn his nasty toupee. Everyone, the
(12:40):
CEO of Norwegian Jim, the performer, everyone had to wear
this stupid Topay Froggy had it on for a while.
It was just drunk on a ship. And I gotta
be honest, I had had a drink or two when
I wasn't that obnoxius. Byday night you were drunk, and
a bunch of us came in late because it was
the club that was the only club that was open
that night late, and I wore you like this, guys right,
you gonna up Lazie and every song it's guy's great. Okay,
(13:05):
I didn't sound yes you did. And then Saturday, Saturday, Saturday,
you walked by the wine bar. I was sitting in
with a few of the people we work with, and you, oh, Brody,
you should come to this place. We're gonna go watch
the piano play. He's fantastic. And I said, oh, us,
I was there last night with you. You are you are?
By the way, did you put Uncle Johnny to sleep
that night? Okay, here's how Uncle Johnny operates. He's like
(13:25):
like a mummy. You put him to get age. He
gets so drunk. You put him to bed, and then
you go back out, and then before you know, here
he comes wearing a bathrobe. He'll get himself up and
out of bed. He'll find you that's crazy. And then
we'll put him in bed again. And lo and behold,
we put in a bed that I went to bed.
Apparently he got up again. He just he he thinks
it's the next morning, and he gets up. He doesn't
(13:46):
know what time it is. That's he's on an ambient.
Uncle Johnny is old as he is. Do you ever,
when you put him to bed, do you put your
finger underneath his nose sometimes to make sure he's breathing? No, no, no,
we trust he's okay. But we were doing in a
dysfunctional family vacation in Mexico. Remember he came and found
us at the casino in his bathrobe, and I'm like, please, dude,
tell him we're gone. We had to run from him
(14:09):
all night. It's terrible. And the funny thing is like
before he was wasted, he was walking around the ship.
Have you seen Alex my lord? I love Uncle Johnny,
but I just wish someone else would babysit him so
I didn't we have to blame the person who keeps
bringing him. I feel he is he is technically part
of the part of the family. I think maybe we
(14:32):
should have a designated babysitter, Like, maybe we should hire
someone he's always you can have it, because I know
that we're not going to mention names. But the last
thing I remember, we're at a bar during the day drinking.
I looked over and Johnny had some guy's foot in
his mouth. What are you doing? He had an entire
(14:52):
foot in his mouth. So if anyone wants to be
Uncle Johnny's handler, call us now. We need to hear
from fifteen Minute Morning Show
