Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
Firm Ran Presents Morning Show. And here we go. It's
our Monday. We're back from the weekend podcast. Sure week,
we're all tired. We do have a short week. Um,
(00:23):
actually it's something. It's all weeks are really the same length.
We just only here a couple of days. It's there's
work at home daylight savings. When you jump ahead of
an hour, it's one hour less a week. You're right,
you're right. Way we welcome to the day. We had
quite a show. I don't know if you listened on
Monday morning. This morning, the tenors came in, came in
and did their thing. They were awesome. And we're off
(00:45):
to a great week. We've got Mariah Carrie coming in. Yeah,
we've got a busy week. Oh. I have to leave
a little early on Wednesday. I forgot to tell you
why I have to leave at nine twenty because my
kids they're they're having like, um, one of those awards
ceremonies at the school and it starts at ten thirty.
I'm like, how do they have it at ten thirty
when people work? So I'm asking you. I'm asking because
(01:05):
a lot of people can't work, leave their work, their
job and just be a Most people can't. Yeah, most
people don't know what I'm saying. I complain all the
time about this. They'll have like a graduation at It's ridiculous,
Like I can't even what am I gonna do with that?
I can't do anything with that. What awards are they getting?
School just started in September? Well, the first semester has
already done. I thank you though in advance, because since
we play a lot of commercials, so I figured not safe.
(01:29):
I like how you've already deemed this appropriate that we're anyway.
So what kind what kind of awards are they getting?
A roll? And I don't know. They give out some
other kind of awards to we don't know if the
kids are going to get it. But you know, they
don't tell you ahead of time. They just tell you
whether or not your kid is getting something. He's getting
the I bet my mom will come award. Here's the thing.
(01:50):
You know what, for those of us who don't have kids,
I really think that we need as much time off
as you get. It's only fair. I have no problem
with that. I never get to take advantage of this.
Let's let's work this out. So Scary, what would you
get off in exchange for Danielle leaven early? Like, what
would be equivalent for you get a break? The same
(02:11):
what smokers get breaks? They take like an hour's worth
of a break during the day. I don't smoke, so
I need that hour back or you should pay me
an extra. Same thing with parents, Same thing with people
giving people giving gifts for weddings. I never have a wedding,
but I'm always I'm always on the one giving out money,
and everyone's on the take. This has always been Scary's
(02:33):
argument if they if they get bonus because they're smokers
or parents. I love how you put smokers and parents
in the same He feels he should be he's entitled
to some sort of bonus as well. Right, I'm actually
totally on your side about this. Thank you. I think
you should get like hangover days, right, Like I need
to believe it because I drink a little too much
last night and I'm not feeling I would give that.
(02:54):
I don't want to take anything away from the parents smokers.
I just want to get what's coming. Yeah, yeah, so
why don't you start smoking and knock him? I'll give
I'm not giving scared the hour. I'll tell you why.
Every time he has to go away for a weekend,
he makes him He gives himself at eleven am flight
and he leaves at eight o'clock. Oh, I gotta leave.
(03:15):
I got eleven o'clock flock. I got to do. Point.
Never makes a one o'clock flight or one eleven am flight.
So you're even you're done next al right, Well, anyway,
so so what day you're leaving? Early Wednesday? All? Is
that okay with you? A producer, Maria carry will be upset,
but that's okay, that's all right. I'll tell him Maria
that high it's not going to be here that late
(03:38):
at you know. Then it's a brilliant move by Danielle,
even though this is a conversation she could have had
off the air by doing it on the air on
the podcast, you guys are in the corner where you
really did pay us into a corner that is, that's
not really why I did. I did it because I
felt like we really didn't have anything to talk about.
We do, okay, By the way, if you're just turning
(03:59):
a well no, you're just not turning us on now
because this isn't life? Have you've been listening to the
whole thing? Hid on the table? We've got Gandhi and
Scary and Brody and Garrett and Danielle and Straighten. All right,
So this is this game that Gandhi brought in a
long time ago. I keep meaning to play. It's a game.
(04:21):
It's called versus vertellus, which I believe means truth in
like Swedish. Sounds good. The main reason we, the Vitellius team,
it says here, started the card game is that we
felt we were losing touch with those closest to us. Technology,
misconceptions about one another, and the ever increasing pace of
(04:43):
life has caused us to fail to ask questions and
truly understand one another. So that's why they have this
game ready, h looking ahead to the upcoming year? Which
bad habit do you want to get rid of? Danielle?
Oh my gosh, um, how many? I I have time
to figure it out? I don't um. I probably would, Okay,
(05:06):
I would like to probably shop a little bit less
than a habit. Yeah, shopping to habit, I'll admit it.
Gandhi the past year in retrospect, which three people have
influenced you the most. Oh, Okay, I think this is
actually kind of easy. So you Elvis Duran, because now
I'm here and living a completely different life all because
of you, guys. I would say, my old version of you,
(05:29):
his name is Maddie. We went through a lot together,
the two of us, and I grew a lot and
learned a lot from that. He's an old version of me.
He is an older version of you, but not quite.
He is just he sits in your chair in Boston. Really,
you guys are very different. Um. And then the last one,
I'm gonna go with Danielle. Yeah, because I think that
walking into this new environment is very difficult on its own,
(05:52):
but we all know that sometimes there can be like
friction between girls. You were worried about that, were you? Yeah,
and I were really worried about. Look, we told Danielle, Danielle,
we're not hiring anyone until you give us to go ahead.
Had you had of the vote, and there's like, I
don't know three of us that had the others so big,
so then definitely, daniel I'm glad I went with that.
(06:14):
But she had had a bigger vote than me. Yes,
she didn't know she did you gave it to her.
You're like, Danielle has to be happy. Well, I did
say that, but that's not not well. If she didn't agree,
we wouldn't have hired the person, right, Well, we may have.
It depends on who at a job somewhere else. I
(06:37):
love it and and we've all been in that situation before,
I'm sure at some point. But Danielle has been so
awesome and just like inviting and warm and I love
her so I love you, I know, but you know
you've been here what two months? I'm still waiting for
the bad thing to happen. We're about to find out
the real, the real gandhiat scared of that afternoon years
(06:59):
when I go home for New Year. Yeah, all right, scary? Yes,
the past year in retrospect, who or what surprised you
the most? Maybe we should Yeah, let's not yea, let's
let's move on the past year in retrospect? What was
one of your best decisions? Scary the past year? Wow?
(07:21):
Did you make a good decision? Um? Yes? I started
to work out fourteen weeks ago, twice a week, Not
as much as I want to, but it's a start.
That's good. And I'm on my way to doing my
first pull up. It's not gonna happen this year, though,
it's going to be next year. All right, well, it's
almost the another year. Hey, straight Nate. The past year
in retrospect, what was the best compliment you received? One?
(07:45):
I don't think people give you compliments. Compliments I mean
about his hair. No, my hair actually has been looking
pretty great. I can't. I don't know if anybody else can.
Can they think of a compliment? This was asked to you.
I can't think of one? Wow? Huh, Hey, Garrett. The
past year in retrospect? What has kept you up at night?
(08:08):
This new daughter? My daughter? Okay, yeah, pretty much? That
my dog that's fair and the dog Brody. Looking ahead
to the upcoming year, what will you do for the
first time in your life eat a vegetable? That could
be okay? Nothing? Yeah? I do the same stuff all
(08:29):
the time. I go to the same restaurants at the
same things. You're very predictable. Give me one for you, Danielle.
Do it here we go? Sorry. Looking ahead to the
upcoming year, to whom do you want to give more attention?
That's that question of me. Alex. Of course, that's an
(08:52):
easy one. That's an easy hello. All right, well this
is a fun game. What else? Now we're done? You
know what, we never really we never really find out
any more about each other. And we know some of
us have known each other and worked with each other
for twenty three years, but we still have our little boxes.
We keep people, and we we don't really go down
new avenues with each other. No. I mean, do you
(09:14):
whoever is listening to this podcast right now? Do you?
Are you like that with your friends? You think you
know them, but do you really How many times have
you found something out about like a couple you're good
friends with, and then all of a sudden, like the
one does something to the other and you go, no, never,
I have one couple right now where in a million
years we never have thought that this would have happened.
(09:36):
And I still can't tell you, still shocked to this
day that this happened. Every time I see the person,
I'm still shocked that I still can't believe it. But
it just goes to show you you don't really know people.
Singers everybody into disagreements. I picture everyone getting into disagreements
with their significant others outside the show, because it's the
(09:56):
same for me. Everybody thinks, you know, we all have
these perfect lives, but ality we all get into disagreements.
But I can't imagine everybody getting into like a full,
like heated argument with people. I just can't see it.
Give us an example, like I can't see you and
Alex going at it like arguing over you know, a
painting that you just bought in your house or whatever,
or or Brody and his wife arguing. Fully, it happens,
(10:18):
but now this past because it's it's It's the same
as how we view people who and we only know
them through Instagram. We think that's their lives. It's not
their lives. There's a lot more going on, and that's
the That's the thing. We've known each other a long time,
except for Gandhi. Gandhi's new here, but we still think
of each other the same way we in some cases
(10:41):
we did twenty years ago when we met each other.
We gotta like open our minds. There's more to us
than just what we think we know. When I go
on a date with my girlfriend, I'll ask her a
question that you would normally ask on like a first, second,
or third date. Right, I'll be like, who is like
teacher in grade school. See that's fine in Connecticut that
(11:01):
there's no answer to that one. There's no good answer.
Maybe we should try to do that more. We should
with each other, We should try to find out more
about each other. Like a scary Yeah, I feel like
I know you like my own brother. But at the
same time, I don't know you. I don't know you,
you don't ask your question, you don't know me. Well,
it's not that easy, No, it's I don't know. I
got to think it through. I know. The true the
(11:21):
true way you can really get to know a person
is travel with them for a week, right, because you
really start to uncover their habits and then you figure
out little things that how many relationships have have ended
because they traveled with each other a lot. It's true.
I saw a game one time that said these thirty
six questions will make you fall in love with whomever
you're playing with by the end of the thirty six questions,
(11:43):
and they're really it's let me look it up. I
don't know that it's necessarily a game as much as
just these thirty six questions to make you fall in love,
but they're very intimate and interesting question These questions talk
amongst yourselves while Google. You are going to ask Scary
a really personal question about himself because you said, well,
tell us something we don't know. You should ask him
the question. Then let the rest of his answer and
see if any of us will write. Let me think
(12:05):
of that, think of that though, let me think that through. Well,
I'll tell you like the other day, I learned something
about Alex that I I was like, what it was great.
It was like a really cool thing about his his
childhood and the way he was brought up. And it
totally totally, it totally gave me answers to the question
like why is he the way he is? Or why
(12:25):
you know, we we think we know enough about each
other that we don't keep asking questions like Nate was
saying asking you know, his his girlfriend Heather, Like, who
was your favorite teacher? No one ever asked me that question?
And I've never had a favorite teacher. Ms. Mcmurder was
not a favorite teacher. What's this okay? So here are
(12:46):
the thirty six questions. It really is just called thirty
six questions to make you fall in love, and they
have three sets of them, so it starts out pretty easy.
With things like, given the choice of anyone in the world,
who would you want as a dinner guest? I love you?
I thought it worked. Would you like to be famous
in what way? Before making a telephone call? Do you
ever rehearse what you're going to say? Why? What would
(13:07):
constitute a perfect day for you? When did you lasting
to yourself? When did you lasting to someone else? When
did you last cry? Like? There are just a lot
of really interesting questions. I think you don't ask each
other on a daily basis. These are the questions that
we don't feel like are important enough to ask. What
we should I guess I'm very interested in everyone, obviously,
not just this room. But when is the last time
you cried? And why? That is a really interesting answer
(13:28):
to get from people. Are we all thinking about the
answer there exactly? And then there are some creepy ones.
Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?
Do you send? But you're supposed to play them all
thirty six with somebody that you maybe are dating or
you like, and then by the end of it, you're
supposed to love each other. So it's easy to find
(13:48):
this questions that will make you fall in love? Yes,
I love this. Maybe we should bring this to the show,
the Big Show. How do you think you're gonna die accident?
Oh god, I love you. It's a very romantic. Yeah,
killed by a hippopotamus. You're my soul mate. White Scary
(14:12):
is thinking, look, yeah, no, no, I'm trying to I'm
trying some of the stuff that's not for public consumption.
See not a lot of people get really testy about it,
and then you're like, oh did I It takes every
day when I go home from the show. That's his answer,
every morning in the shower, in my corner, okay, behind Elvis.
(14:35):
So this is this is our This is our challenge
the person you think you know the best in this
world today's day, to find out something about them that
you had no clue about. I love this. Get in there.
What an assignment? It is an assignment, And I ask
you what problem is? Thank you for fifteen minute morning,
