Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
shows the prematurely Yeah, because Garrett and I are sitting
here and said, hey, scary, what do you want to
talk about? And you hit the button. This. I feel
like I'm back at school. Every time, right before a test,

(00:25):
you don't study for the test, and then you get
handed the test and you don't know how to answer
any of the questions on the test, and then you
just go through with the test and hope for the best. Yeah,
And at the end of the day, sometimes you pass
with flying colors, other times you fall. It was a
famous saying that the job is showing up. Yeah, but
we can't just show up this as an audio podcast,

(00:46):
we can coast the rest of the ten percent. No,
here's the problem. This is technically our last fifteen minute
morning show for two weeks. Yeah, because we don't do
them on Fridays anymore, right, and we're on vacation for
two weeks, so it should be actually be extra special.
So now you just ramped it, That's what I'm sing.
I feel like we should take maybe another podcast and

(01:06):
put it here, because like, take The Rectile Dysfunction one,
episode two sixty two, which if you haven't heard it.
Go back and listen. Freaking hilarious. But we needed to
have a crescendo today. We needed a big finale and
we were gonna like focus on bald freak Rannie because
it's his last day here. Yeah, but the main show,
Freak focused on him, and then we had him on
the Brooklyn. Ronnie's treating today just like the senior year

(01:27):
of high school, the last day of senior year where
he's supposed to be working, but he's not doing much.
He's doing a lot of goodbyes, which I appreciate, but yeah,
he's getting paid for goodbyes. He's making the big tour.
Ron both of you. You get Ronnie in here. We
look at it this last day to come into you
can come into Kathleen. I I just don't think. I mean,

(01:51):
it's maybe they should doctor pay on the last day here.
I just coasted. Here's what I want. I want to know.
So we wanted you were talking to Ronnie and taking
this picture. Yea, and Scary pointed to intern Rhiannon, who
then pointed to you guys and said, they want you
in the studio. Now Ronnie would know why we wanted
him in the studio because it's his last day and
we're milking him for all he's worth. Works. But what

(02:12):
did you think we wanted when you came running in
here all excited that we wanted you to come in here,
probably because you guys needed me to settle some dumb argument.
You're having a great you know not you know what?
You know what. Bertie and I shared a really nice
moment before, So I'm just gonna say this. Bertie's right,
You're wrong, scary, Sorry, but kath promote the pole of

(02:34):
the picture we took. Oh, so I just put a
pick on Instagram Elvis rand show of Bertie and I
comparing the cutest pet because I think my cat is
cuter than his dogs, and he thinks that his dog
cat it's not even close. A dog owner about buttons,
I know it's scary lives well, scary likes cats, yes,

(02:56):
because his girlfriend likes cats. Don't you have a dog
named I have a Yeah? We mus allright, and my
cat's name is Cannoli. Oh my god, we're food passed
his dog after a food. No buttons, but food. I
want to suggest eating buttons. He tries to eat people.
But there are candy buttons buttons of food like mushroom buttons. So, Kathleen,

(03:20):
what is it exactly that you agree with Brody about
and not me? No, I was just saying in general. Today,
in general, we had a bonding moment. So no matter
what say, she doesn't agree with Scary. He pulled the
ultimate like girlfriend wife move where she's piste off at you.
So what she's going to do is just go against
everything you say, no matter what, not even look at

(03:40):
the facts. Yeah, yeah, oh, facts don't matter when one
is bad. Every other day I usually side with Scary,
but today I'm signing a partie. I'll take it. I'm
going to overlook the font on his phone, which is
so stupen it really already had that conversation. You might
want to plug something really important on Elvis's Instagram, But
that's so funny if you do nothing else today, Yes,

(04:02):
on Instagram the greatest video because it's us and it's
real and it happens. I can't even tell you. Before
I was on the floor crying, laughing, tears streaming down
my face. Gregg t broke a special toilet that Charman
sent up to Elvis today to promote They have this
whole big promotion. Uh shiny heini and all that an
expensive toilet branded with Elvis's pick. Yes, very expensive. And

(04:26):
there's security footage that we pulled from the hallway because
Nate must have said to Greg, hey, the toilets in
the hallway, can you bring it in the studio. So
he goes out there with the dolly, puts the toilet
on the dolly, turns his back and the thing immediately
falls off the dolly smashes on the floor and he
and He's just standing there like with a shock look
on his face. Why it's it was a big hand truck,

(04:47):
off hand track, completely flatt truck. It wasn't like he
had it in an angle. It wasn't. He just like
trying to a fleet put on a flat and he
put it off to the side of the flat and
put off the side, and Nature's walks over to the window.
And because this is a promotion that they've been working
on for weeks, you know, he they were going to
surprise Elvis with this amazing toilet, and Nate just puts

(05:09):
his head in his hands and just he said, he
blacked out for a little bit. He could it happened
on the other side of the studio glass, and the
studio glasses mostly soundproof. All I heard was this, Oh
the glass after aftermath is definitely the funniest part of that.
I'm watching the video right now. What Gregg t did
wrong was he put the toilet on an angle so

(05:30):
it wasn't balanced at all, causing it to go fall
to the right um and then you know, by the way,
I didn't realize that porcelain can break so easily. I mean,
it's a it's a full but it's a full size toilet.
It's like a vase. But it's how how cous and

(05:53):
abused it every single day in our lives. But you
don't sit down like you don't you have a brick?
Asked where you'd sit down and break it? No, you
have a soft scoop off on the toilet from the
thing didn't fall from ten ft. It fell from I
have a foot off the ground. It just tipped. Have
a hell did the thing break into a thousand pieces?
When he looked like a movie like it was like
a comedy sketch. Here's the thing, how did how the

(06:15):
hell did the tain break? Grand with America's Funniest Home Videos,
because we already posted the video, but I guess it's
worth it that at the end of the day to
share it with everyone. But I think this is one
of those videos that could win potential money. But I
also think we also should do a bad lip reading
of this. Of all what we think great T would
be saying, we should all do one and post them

(06:39):
again time I watched, and there's something you'll always notice
in the video when you rewatch it. Like I, I
first concentrated on great T and now I'm looking at Nate.
Nate's action is just as price. So if you want
to see this, go to Elvis Durant on Instagram. It's
also on els dot com. The best part is that
the hand truck has, you know, the sidebars and then

(07:01):
a thick crossbar up the middle of it, and so
it looks like a checkerboard. There are spaces and a
hand truck. He puts the toilet half on the metal
beam and half over the open space. What did he expect.
He's a he's a bone. It wasn't like it wasn't
like it fell off as he was moving it. I
think he fell off as he turned away from his

(07:22):
putting it on me. He is the fourth stuge. How
do you feel that this is your last day and
you're being overshadowed by a toilet? Par for the chorus
as they say, I don't give a ship, so so yeah,
I mean it is the last your last fifteen minute
morning show. You don't really come in here very much
doing that? So will you summon me in here? What
do you want? What do you want? What do you say?

(07:44):
What do you want? Want help? I want to get
out of here. It's parting word start the next chapter
in my life. I know you guys are friends, Scary
and Ronnie, but middle school, high school, college. But let's
be honest, Ronnie, Ronnie's moving a few states away for
probably the first time. You guys will be the list
away in your careers, in your lives. I already feel
the distance between us. Now, what is the reality of

(08:05):
you guys actually hang out because you're doing what most
people do on their last days. Hey, we're gonna be
friends forever and see each other. But the reality is,
when do you really get to see those people? Given
you go on a trip once a year. But you know,
I'll tell you about one of our mutual friends who
moved to Boston several years ago. Um, he he was
my best friend, Paul Paul Zilla anymore? Oh he was

(08:26):
your best friend? Yeah, when I know that in elementary stuff,
I was your best friend. No before you I know,
so I know Paul Sin's kindergarten. You lost your best friend.
Virginity is someone other than ron Paul Pazilla was my
best friend from kindergarten through sixth grade, and then we
went to separate high schools and colleges together, away from
each other, and then he moved to Boston. We see him,

(08:47):
we see him rarely. But you have your best friends
until you were nine, Like that doesn't count. Ronnie has
been your bud for scholar saying they major. You'll be
hearing that later on the Book Boys podcast. That's yeah.
Back to that joke here that they're doing every time

(09:08):
you say it ye, which is all the time, episode
forty two. But I'm not saying it to be but
I think I think a lot of people, a lot
of people do that in the office or or even
at school too. When you saw your year book, Hey,
we're gonna be friends forever. There's that, you know, hey,
texting bond. But the reality is I think you'll see
each other maybe once twice a year. I think with
social media, every everything's virtual, so you you kind of

(09:29):
a you're gonna face still run, You're still with people.
So instead of Ronnie hanging out with you, he's gonna
see you eating at a club. That's what he's going
to see your social media, just like old times over
with the club. But I don't think it's gonna really
affect our friendship in a well in a negative way.
First of all, it's Washington, d C. See, it's not
like Colorado or Arizona where you gotta get on a plane.

(09:49):
I can jump on Jones jumping in the beamer, top down,
driving down. You guys get twelve weeks vacation. Do you
are not getting on a train? You're not. You'll not
a business class because you still works. He won't go
a new subway because he can't use his phone. The
WiFi on the on amtrack is not great, and scary
is not driving to d C. For one fact, he

(10:11):
cannot check his phone all the way down to d C.
But the point is we will see each other, I
think several times throughout the year. Because you're not gonna
you're you're not abandoning New York. No, I mean in
my families here and most of my friends are here,
So I mean I'm gonna hope to come back often. Yeah,
maybe not necessarily to hang out with you. This is
another step to where everybody's like, I'll be back, don't worry,

(10:31):
You're you're you're not. Let's back. I'm not to say
you're never coming back, but it starts off where it's
like you'll you'll come for the holidays, and you'll come
for for events, and then next year it will be
you're just here for events, and then we're playing it
used to be my playground by Madonna. I mean, it's
not like you have a girl down there who's gonna,
you know, monopolize your time. That's sade a minute. What there?

(10:54):
You go very dramatic Ronnie ends up, but a woman
down in Washington, DC. You're never gonna say him, why
would wait a minute, Well, yeah, there's something there is that,
but that doesn't mean me to hang out with Scary Jones,
not at all. You're not gonna block your friends out
and not call you know, you're not gonna choose. We've

(11:15):
talked about this before. I don't really hang out with
scary on a social basis, With a few exceptions. Usually
it surrounds food. So if you want to meet me
in Brooklyn one day, we'll go to Simone Gardens, We'll
go to Rolling Roaster. I would like I already thought like,
I want to come back and do a food tour
because I feel like I'm gonna miss the food just
as much as I missed the people. I know someone
that can lead you through that tour, Yeah, exactly, So

(11:37):
you know, it would be a good way to commiserate
with people. And then people get an extra treat when
they go to Nathan's and get a hot dog, and
they go to LMB and get a square. But I think,
whoever you are, wherever you live in the country, if
you move away other than your family, you gotta go
back for the food. You're ready. I'm always bonded. I'm
bonded to everybody by food. Absolutely. That was really that
was the scariest thing when we were kids. Let's go
to food Ruckers. He get in a car and drive

(11:57):
two hours to food Ruckers in New Jersey. I don't
know why, because when he does her own toppings on
the burger began's and I can see the argument when
when Scary goes I'm not coming down. You're you drove
two hours to fund Ruckers, but you can't come three
hours to see me. Well, if I promise you food, Scary,
will you come down more ofuse DC has apparently has
like some good cuisine down I just want the car.

(12:18):
I just want to point out that our show used
to have two hosts, Elvis and Elliott, many years ago,
and Elliott moved down to d C and has his
own very successful show down there. And do you see
one on one Scary. How many times have you seen Elliott?
He moved away when it came back when he was well,
he was his right hand guy here. How many times
you've been to his house? Do go to middle school?

(12:41):
But if they did, Ronnie, if they did, if they did,
we all said the same thing to him. It's like saying,
see the same thing to the interns at the end
of the semester was what else are you going to
say to them when they're really upset, when they're walking
out of here in tears, And I'm like, you false
hope that you're gonna see You're saying you're lying to Ronnie,
do you lie to the interns? I always say, come
back for a music sometimes, come to see us. You know,
the doors always open. Halfway through that sentence, you forgot

(13:03):
their name. Like he's already moved on. Well, here's something
else to consider about Scary Jones. He has no offspring,
he has no pets, he has no wife. He's you know,
he's he's footloose and fancy free. So he'll definitely have
more opportunities than some of the people we already mentioned
who kind of have families and stuff like So shout
out to uh Eric to S seven that Jackolo gonna

(13:24):
miss you bold freak. That is probably Omar, I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah,
the former head of the off Fair Show Army of
the podcast we used to do together. What podcast? I
don't remember the Affair show with Greg remember that one?
That's old news that I did see a lot of
the text messages, and I want to take the opportunity
to thank to thank the listeners and the fans for
all the kind words. I appreciate that. Well, you got
a minute left, so once you close, because we break,

(13:47):
I got nothing to end with the song. Like that
was how I wanted to end things, okay, so drag
me in here. Ronnie did a cover of a great
tea college classic, and I used that term loosely. I
didn't even know that he did that in college. It
was thick. Yeah, it was definitely horrific, and that video
will be available I love as Durrand dot com by
the time you hit this podcast. Most likely. I think
I did a poignant version of a song that needed

(14:07):
some tweaking. Yes, I think that's the best way to
put to today's Elvis Durrano, a song that many of
artists have turned down over the year. And that was
what inspired it. Is that every time we're in a
meeting here, Gregg, T's always like, oh, such and such
bands coming in? Can we have them? Do? Time passes by?
And that was kind of the inspiration for it. I said,
who better to do it than your boy? And I

(14:28):
did it, and I think it came up pretty well.
I think so too. You love you, love you, love you, guys.
I'll see you in Pittsburgh tomorrow. We're gonna have a commitment.
You never see me. By the way, that was already scheduled.
This is not like, hey, let's go to Pittsburgh. That
was already scheduled before Ron decided to leave, that we're
gonna and then you're going to Philly, and I'm leaving
so I can avoid your exactly. I'll be in Philly.
I'll be in Pittsburgh. Yeah. No, I'm going to the

(14:50):
first game on Monday. We're having a sandwich together. Let's go, Doe,
I'm ready. Minute morning show
