Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
firm Elvis Present Morning Show? All right, I got someft.
Listen up, ladies, chentlemen, great t here coming at your
ear hole? What up gone Dad? He scary in my

(00:26):
ear hole? What's up there? Ge? Hello, you didn't say
my name, but okay, what's up? Brode? So listen. So
over the weekend, I don't want to mention who it
wasn't somebody on this morning show, but somebody that works
for my heart texted me like completely out of nowhere,
and uh, they just started talking about, you know, things

(00:47):
at work or whatever it was. So I quickly texted back,
did not even really respond to what they were talking about.
And I responded back to them and I said, ah, man,
you know what, I gotta go get my garbage can.
Garbageman left it outside. It's rolling around the golden sack.
And I said, oh, then I gotta go pick up
Jada from dance YadA, YadA YadA. And then I said,

(01:08):
so what do you want to get for dinner? And
the person said, are you talking to me or you
texting the trish? And I said, no, I'm texting you.
And then I said hashtag normal talk. So this person said,
what is you know texting me back? What is hashtag
normal talk? Is that like real talk? So right? So
I said, right, I said, is it possible for you

(01:32):
and I to have like a normal conversation as if?
And I sound like a broken record? Maybe not the
gandeh because you probably never heard me say it, but
you guys has you guys have as if they're my neighbor,
as if I as if Steve was my neighbor. Yo, Steve,
what's going on? Right? It really is a big deal
to me? Can he go outside, take out the trash,
get the mail, and look at his neighbor to the

(01:53):
right or left and say, hey, it's it's a it's
a big deal to be and have what I call
hashtag normal talk. So then this person got it. And
then this person then started responding like, hey, you want
to go get lunch at so and so place? And
I'm like, great, I'll see you three o'clock. Awesome. And
then this person said, oh, you know what, I gotta

(02:14):
go pick up this before I go. And I said,
all right, that sounds good. Why don't you run that?
Errand and then I'll go, And we had hashtag normal. No,
not at all. But the person was very normal, all right,
so get to my point. So so at the end
we had a lot of laughs and the person totally
got it. And then the person said to me, like
in the hallway, said, I said, that was so funny

(02:34):
that we were talking about, you know whatever. So I'm
wondering today, in the fifteen minute morning show, with whatever
time we have left, can we just do normal talk,
like what do you want us to do? Talk about
the globe? No? No, no, no, like talk normal about
normal things like we don't have to conjure up a topic.
We don't have to like play roles or anything. Just talk.

(02:57):
I don't don't, I don't mean, don't look at that
black and white. That's not what I meant. What you
understand what I'm saying. What I meant, I guess I
said roles. I neat mean roles. What I'm saying is,
can you just desensitize yourself to the room that you're
in with these microphones and act as if they're not
even there and just have normal conversation. We could, but

(03:17):
then wouldn't people want to listen to that? Try it?
I tuned into a radio show of you in your neighbor.
But but just try it, but just try it, just
see if it's refreshing. And Mike, how about that weather? No,
but you see this and then you start what just
started up? Okay, um, let's see. Hey, Danielle, I like
that cool hat that you're wearing, A black hat. Thanks.
I bought it when we were in Florida and the

(03:38):
when I was shopping with Lisa. You can't talk about work? No,
hold on, wait, so when you when you go to Florida.
But you know I can't talk about work, I'm saying,
but I didn't know that, And I went into Charming Charlie.
I got it in Charming Charlie. Oh yeah, I love
Charming Chi. Where is Charming Charlie. There's all over the place.
The one I was in it was in Florida, but
there's there all. I didn't even know that girls know

(03:59):
about Yeah, yeah, I have. It's like con jewelry store
threw up everywhere. And my favorite part about it is
it's color coordinated. So say you're going in and you
have a pink outphit and you need something to match
your pink outfit. You can go to the pink section
Secla section. Charlie charming Charlie. Check that out. That's pretty neat.
Girls would love it. Yeah, I'll tell you and Ella

(04:21):
at all about it. Maybe me and Tristan shopping this weekend.
Brodie's girls know about Charla. We were a couple of
ours to run this weekend. Somebody. We'll go to Charlie, Charlie.
I'll figure one out. What's up, Brodie? What's going on? Man?
What's going on? Dude? Second? What do last night? Uh?

Late night TV shows from the night before? What sport
they have met ones on? Now they're on network that's
also gone. What you do last night? You're new in
the city and everything? What you do? I talked to
like seventeen different people on the phone make some plans
for the weekend. When that we cacked a little bit. Well,
I'm going to Columbus for two days and I'm gonna

(05:03):
fly with my sister from Columbus to Tampa and hang
out with the family. For sister's name's right, You need
to tell me that one time. I love that name.
Pre It's really pretty. I've only known no, I only
know one girl prea back in the day when we
were in school together show set across from me re
I knew. I remember the day, Remember that time you

(05:27):
had not what you work but in this studio, Greg
would stop you there and say, this isn't real talk
because now you're just talking for the podcast that he
wants to keep on track with just Mundane's ship. Right,
It's just there's so all I'm saying is that I think,
I know it seems difficult, but like there's there's no

(05:48):
need to always have to try to put on a show.
If we can just dessense times yourselves take their headphones
off and just talk normal. So we should change this
to the fifteen minute morning talk. Well, I think I
think I take my headphones off right now. You're right,
I think you're talking normal. We all take our headphones.
I think the headphones just makes you think you're on
the radio. Yeah, so okay, we're off the radio. That

(06:10):
was just a bunch of people sitting around the table.
That's it's just like that. So listen. I saw a
buddy of mines getting engaged. So, um, I said, you him,
I said, because he said, uh, he was acting as
if like he wanted me to be a part of it,
but he didn't say it. So I came out and
just said, hey, man, what's your buddy's name. I don't
want to in case anybody's listening, I don't want to say,
but this is real talking, real talk. Oh yeah, I

(06:30):
talk just just because we know we're on I can't mention.
Why don't you just say the name is Mike. No
one's gonna know whether you're right. Just a bunch of
people sitting around which his real name is Mike, which
why I just changed that? Does anybody in this room
goes out? And no, I do. I'm really excited. It's
like the first time, Like I'm really excited to be
there for him when he gets it. Just the first

(06:51):
time you've been excited some running elf, you're the best man.
That was different. I'm excited to be a part of
the engagement thing, the surprise. I'm I'm excited to be
a part of the surprise. It'd be pretty neat. Oh
you're gonna be part of when he Yeah, so that's
kind of I've never done that portion of like a
wedding before. What I can't tell you because real talk.

(07:15):
I'm just gonna call you out on this for one second.
You want to talk normal talk, but you were sick
not long ago, and I normal talk texted you outside
of the show and said, yo, tee, how you feeling?
And you ignored me. So I'm never going to try
to normal talk to you again. Take norm Yeah, and
all I was trying to be was nice and caring
normal talk to you. Good point, good point at the time.

(07:38):
Don't come up with an excuse you going on talk
to Greg h you know Greg, his real lest name,
real Greg. I texted him three weeks ago and I said,
hey man, what were those Christmas lights you let me
borrow five years ago? I want to buy the same
ones from my house. I want to decorate my house
you with some lights to make it look a little

(07:59):
more festive. Uh. Two weeks went by, I said, hey man,
I sent you a text. You never got back to me.
All right, so real talk. You don't respond to my
text either when it's real talk. Oh oh, there's another
real talk you don't response to of mine. Thanksgiving, I
sent everybody a nice I love you, and I personalized
each one of them. It was very nice, specifically to
why I love each one of you, and you were
the only yes eighteen, you were the only one who

(08:21):
didn't right back. I was like this mother, Now, if you,
if you, if you had texted him, hey, Greg T
the frat boy, hold on, hold on, would you like
to do a Merry Christmas bid on the show, you
would have gotten back to her. But when it was
real talk, you ignored her. I really cared. I cared
for you twice tea, and you broke my heart twice.
How does Greg t let you down? Talk talk? I

(08:44):
can tell taking away? How much more time you got
the story? Six minutes minutes? How did Gregg let you
down real talk? Let's teams like an intervention. There we go, back,
here we go. I was at the mall yesterday and

(09:08):
I was getting some odds and ends for my family,
last minute gifts, right, and I was online in a
big box store which shot remain nameless. And I'm sitting
there like, how do these how does this even work
in this day and age? How does the because it
there's so much merchen these stores, and the lines are
so long and the people behind the counter are so slow.

(09:30):
That's like a faucet dripping slowly for people to get
out of there. It's like drip dripping. I'm sitting there
and I'm like, it doesn't make sense. I'm like, Apple
has it right where before people have to wait on
a line, or before people have to even have it,
you know, like like a decision to leave the place
without their goods. They're standing next to you with it,

(09:53):
with one of those little scanners and they're like, hey,
you want to buy that, all right, here's a bag
from underneath, and I'm out and you get out of here.
Why don't more stores adopt that? Why? Why is it
one so in the nineteen seventies with their technology and
their stupidity of the line. I mean, it's so awful.
It's probably one of the biggest things that drive people

(10:14):
from shopping there and shopping online is the the experience
in store while you're there. Walmart tried to integrate that
this year. They were going to have people down in
certain aisles and then let you actually purchase something right
there in the aisle and then take off. And then
they had like their phones with there, and they would like,
you know, just charge it right there. If last night
was any indicator of what I experienced, if that's the

(10:35):
way it's gonna if it's gonna go from here on out.
I mean, if these brick and mortars are doomed quicker
than we than we know they, they'll be gone in
the next five tenures. No, you know what, I gotta
go to brick and mortar today because I was gonna
say this to you all earlier, but I'm just gonna
say it now. I ordered Christmas presents online and not
everyone's are gonna make it on time. So some people
are going to be getting photos of what to expect

(10:56):
around the corner. And I my, do you open a
big empty box of just a picture of what you're
gonna get? Like that? You went to Sears to buy something?
That Sears business. They they're on their way out. But
the thing is they've got a big, the biggest selection
of vacuum cleaners I ever did see. And I went
and I wanted to go pick up a vacum cleaner
for my brother now because I got one from my sister.

(11:16):
But don't you get in the dicing again. Of course,
why when I clearly had a vacuum conversation with that
conversation with hold here is it doesn't matter that at
that point there other vacuums that are batter hears, which
should own the category. And they have five aisles of vacuums,

(11:39):
the biggest display I've ever seen. They don't even carry it.
They carry three like Dirt Devil and Hoover and ten
more and you're done. And I asked, but those are
the big chain ones. Those are the big one I'm
trying to say is if you're a big box store
like Sears, shouldn't you carry everything? Again, they're not going
to the are the one's corner of the market though,
no one, no wonder why you're going out of business. Listen,
Broody worked in retail. Brody tell how some comp started.

(12:07):
We're playing a game. You here are a little game
real talk, and it's why are you shaking your head? Well?
What should we be talking about? That would excite people?
I think we should open up the game privacy and
find out some different things about each other. Yeah, that's
better than this. You don't think I have a point.
I'm really supposed to support each other. Yeah, he's so

(12:31):
each like fun. You don't think I had a point
about big box stores and not carrying big brands and
all the brands And this was NPR, I would listen.
All I got out of this is that you need
to buy me a vacuum a very long time. You
know how to get scary. I bet you there's a
lot of people in a vacuum. Question sweet to him
and you'll buy Will you buy me a vacuum? Other

(12:55):
vacuums that are better? I don't understand why we always
prod herself product? Alright, alright, what whatacuum is best? The Miley?
The Miley one, that's the better one. If the Italian
brain that's the Mercedes are vacuums, that's the one that's
the one. Tomorrow on the show, can we talk about
which celebrities we want to go to space in two y?

(13:15):
All right? Like that? I've never seen Brody speechless ever,
Brody looks piste with a capital peat. Why Brodie, what
do you have so said about? I don't want to
chime in on this thing. I don't have a vacuum opinion.
Why not? That's why? What kind of vacuum do you
have at all? I don't want my name on this podcast. Okay,

(13:38):
his name is Nate. Name is playing? The part of
time is left in this I think it all started
because Greggy wanted to just have normal, real talk, and
I thought, that's my real talk moment, right, I was
following that. I'm going with the theme of the podcast,
just normal talk. It's my horrible talk with my friends.
Is kind of crazy, like not safe for a podcast

(14:00):
talk about. And I can't tell you that because people
might listen to this, like plants for the weekend. What
are you gonna do? Who are you going to do?
How are you going to do that? Yeah? Yeah, going
to get it from Yeah. See, there's a lot of
stuff that goes into it. But it's illegal, so let's
talk about that. I don't want what makes my friends
look like some hookers unless you get on a train

(14:23):
or plane and travel somewhere where it is legal. This
is a very good point, Boston. It is legal, it's
about to become legal. Yeah. Second, until you're out of
your misery, that's fine. I'm enjoying this now. Nice. Yeah,
thinking about who you're going to do this weekend? Ye? Myself.
I don't ever ask that question. The answers always what

(14:49):
is that minute morning show? Elf
