Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast,
Fine Elvis.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Sixteen Morning show.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Rolling, Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, eat that swollen colon? Wow,
that's our new opening theme for the fifteen minute morning
show podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
That does not sound delicious now, So.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Welcome to the day. We've got Scotty Bee, Hi, Scotty
Bee and Master Control and there's Uh Danielle and Gandhi
and straight Nate Uh, and there's Scary and there's Garrett
and here we go. Is that it? I think that? Yeah,
that's all good. So when we sat down to do
this podcast yesterday, it was interrupted by well, an awful

(00:52):
series of events that happened here at our New York
City studios. You can see it, by the way, if
you watch or listen to yesterday's fifteen minute More Show podcasts.
Let's try to get through this one without incidents, shall
we cool? It was twenty four hours ago and we
didn't even know if we're going to be on the
air today because the studios were all dead.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
It really was touch and go. We were talking last night, Elviston.
You would talk to some of the higher ups and
it did not sound good. No, it did not sound good.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
They didn't they didn't know they're going to get us up.
But thank god, we have a lot of smart people
working with us here in New York City to battle
the evil forces that took us off, and we won.
They won, They were the victors.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
Couldn't we have done the show from the unknown backup
site that they said that they were broadcasting from.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
We weren't prepared for that. Now, if there's a the
thing is they the engineering team was so busy scurrying
around trying to get everything back on the air here,
they wouldn't have time to go out there and set
us up.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
I felt bad even asking status because I knew they
were busy every second from the moment we left here yesterday.
I felt awkward saying, hey, how's it going, because they
were busy for every waking second.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I was so scared to ask furious George a question,
like I needed to ask him something, and he was
staring at his computer, and I just tiptoed up and
I just walked away.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
Yeah, because Furious is usually furious when nothing's happened. Yeah,
so imagine when something's happened.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well, he was here working diligently. So George was a
part of the solution. We appreciate very much. Het s
gott to move your mic because we can't see you
on the camera.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
Last time he touched the micro though, Yeah, the last
time you touched the mic, the whole world blew up.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
So it just in for a quick recap. I mean,
there's five radio stations and a ton of production studios
here at iHeart in New York City, and they all
went dead at the same time. It was the weirdest thing.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Do you remember ago, Elvis, we had a similar problem
here in New York and we were actually preparing to
go to Philly to do the show.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Do you remember that. Yep. It's like nine o'clock at night.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
We're like, okay, well we're going to Philly, and then
they somehow got it working hours later.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
It just well, that's what happens when you know, we've
moved on with the technology. Everything is on digital, everything
is computers. You know, back in the day, something went wrong,
it was local to that little thing, because every little
thing was controlled by a piece of little machinery, and
that was easy. You couldn't take a whole network of
radio stations off the air because of some data glitch.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Back then, it was just snow on the satellite dish.
That was it, right?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Crazy. My problem right now with how we're doing this,
and maybe this is kind of boring from people who
aren't into what we do, is that there's so much
technology that comes out that's cheaper to manufacture, less expensive
to install, and so we're relying on that to keep
us on the air. So they've taken away all like

(03:53):
there's a thing called a T one line, which is
a connection that's the best connection ever to connect us
from here to wherever, like la whatever. Those are all
gone now. They now we use the same shit you
have in your own house to play video games to
run these radio stations. And so when they failed, they're like,
I don't know what went wrong, I tell you what
went wrong. Everyone's cheaping out.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Man.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
We're like relying on technology that's made for everyone. We
don't need that. We need the heavy duty stuff I
think agreed to have.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
Any artist would be like going to the Titanic and
as submersive using a PS five controller.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
That's what we're doing here.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Oh that's right, that never works out.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Well, no, so you know what, So yesterday just to
like let people in, like when we went off the air,
and everybody else did to. It was the equivalent of
like when you have a blackout on your block and
everybody comes outside and be like, hey, are you is
your house off? Everybody from their prospective radio stations peak
poke the head out the door and go, hey, you
off the air. We're off the air too. You off

(04:53):
the air, You're off the air.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
That is what happened. Greg t was walking around the hallway.
Are you back gun yet? Are you? Did you get back? Gun? Power?
Came up? Did you are you?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Guys care? He was off the air before it happened.
He gets off at great tickets off at eight thirty
in the world.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
No, but he was still very concerned and walking around
asking people. So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
He does some type of work in one of those
little production studios.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
I thought he was doing much.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
The other fun thing was my studio that I used
for production. It was working every now and then, like
the computer audio would drop out. You just wait a minute,
it comes back. So people were trying to find which
studios were working and then displaced you from your studio
so they could get in there. I was like, oh,
hell no, you.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Gotta be nice and quiet now. This studio. Where can
you move on?

Speaker 5 (05:38):
The other thing? Like straight out of a movie?

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Is you know?

Speaker 5 (05:41):
We called Los Angeles to see if they were still
hearing our show, and as I was talking to someone
over there, they're like, yeah, we're trying to figure out
and then you hear in the background the.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Breakfast club is off the air. The breakfast club is
off the air. What do we do is off the air?
But the breakfast club is off the air. Panic, I
am across the continent.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah, I'm still not convinced it wasn't sabotage. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
You've got conspiracy theories, and you know, you talk about
people at home sitting there with their little Nintendo switch
and you're saying it's the same kind.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Of who knew too many kids?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Danielle, I'm Danielle. I'm not discounting what you're saying at all.
You never ever know.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
It's just really weird that everybody went down. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'd like to request something from the hackers, though in
fact there are people hacking instead of this nonsense. Can
you just eliminate like our credit card debt and student
loan debt? Yeah, that would be great. That hospital bill
is like, delete all that information. He's a radio station alone.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Can you go back to my high school? My high
school records and you know, make me an a plus student? Yeah,
the permanent record? Yes? Did that follow you? I'm sure
it did. It still bothers me to this day that
I've flun to Texas history.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Remember that, you're like, oh, that's going on your permanent record?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Permanent? Where is that record? I want to see what's
on my permanent record?

Speaker 7 (07:01):
That's awesome. You know I never thought of that. Whatever
happened to my permanent record?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
And I never got permanent I never It's like get tattoo,
It's still there somewhere.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Wait, can we go back to something real quickly? Didn't
you grow up in Texas?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (07:14):
And you flung Texas history?

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yes? Damn I learned that Texas alphabet. A is for Austin,
B is for Bowie, C is for Crockett, D is
for Dalla. What he is? I think it was days
of Valla? Okay, I can only get to like G
and then I flunked.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
I don't think it held you back though, permanent record?

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Do I hide it?

Speaker 5 (07:40):
What? Did you hide it from your parents? Or did
you just oh.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, No. What happened was I was so into extracur
curricular activities. I rarely made it to class, and I
didn't know that we didn't make it to class. Even
if you're doing something for the school, they take points off.
So I was not going to pass and graduate high school.
And it so happened that the guy who taught our
class was also a member of the ku Klux Klan
that I found out he was a hic. Oh god,

(08:06):
what an idiot, And so someone may have mentioned to
him that if he didn't pass me that there would
be an outing.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Oh wow, it was the K in the Texas auth
a little bit for.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I don't remember now, I'm thinking, Kitty, it's for KKK. No,
but no am I I think he oh my screaming
he was about to be outed as a member of
the KKK because someone I know in my family did
some background checks. Oh so I passed a minus kids minus.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
We're learning so much need there's blackmail people more. I
feel like that's that's an under youth skill.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
That's how I passed my driving test. It wasn't black K,
but I'm saying cheating like I went in It was
like the third time I took the written test and
I was like sitting there and was like, I didn't
read the book. I don't know. So the guy who
was given the test came over and he goes, what
are you struggling with? And I was like, this one
of this funny is all right. He gave me the

(09:09):
answers that a best Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
And that's how I passed.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Jim No.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I gave my gym teacher big mac coupons and I
didn't have to.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
Play we're cheating the system people. Yeah, don't do this
at home.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
I think you should have passed your test, though, Danielle.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
That's why inertia, Like what was a nurse shot? I
think that was why I knew what that was. But
there was other things.

Speaker 7 (09:30):
Body at rest tends to stay at rest.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
When I took my driver's licensese because you know, I
let it expire and then I had to start all over.
So I was like in my times class with fifteen
year olds. It was during COVID. The instructor for the
actual driving test didn't even get in a car. I
was in a car in the parking lot with my
sister in the backseat. You had to drive around in
a square and then parallel park between pons.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Damn.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
And they said, if you talk to the person in
the backseat, you fail. But someone has to be in
the car with you. That's a life and s driver.
I got my license, it was like the worst. I mean,
everyone driving who got their license at that time.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Could be terrible.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
Wow, could be terrible. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, you're learning a lot about each other, you know. See,
out of despair and tragedy comes a nice meeting of
the family that loves each other.

Speaker 6 (10:21):
Is never a written test everywhere.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
To get you yes, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, except in Florida.
They just renew it when you're ninety and blind.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
You don't have to do anything.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
And when I was in when I lived in Arizona,
it was good for like thirty five or forty years
or something like that.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Like the license did not expire for like thirty.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Jesus, I will never forget. I will never forget. My
grandmother's caretaker. She was eighty eight, and my grandmother's caretaker
drove her to the DMV. She walked in, she signed
a form, and they renewed her license. No eye test,
no nothing. I mean, it's a long time ago. But
still that's insane that they did.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, my dad shouldn't be driving.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
He lives in Florida. He's the cutest.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Oh yeah, that's great. Cute behind the wheel, just banging
into all the guardrails.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
It's great. You know what. Back to the Texas alphabet,
I think A wasn't Austin. I think it was Alamo.
That would make sense.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
You should remember that.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
I'm surprised he wasn't Cowboys because you know, remember the Alamo.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Alamo. She was for Crockett, he was, But Austin was
a big dude in Texas.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
This does A is for Armadillo?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
No, that's a that that's the modern day Texas.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Okay, wait, was this the way you remember the alphabet
or remembered the No, No.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
It's just it's Texas history.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Does every state have their own alphabet like that?

Speaker 1 (11:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
I didn't know New York.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
No.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Do you remember z y.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Elvis, New York.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
He would be asshole, he would be bastard, she would
be cocksucker.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Ye, construction in Texas. Z was it was an explorer
of some Okay, D is for detour, peas for pothole, exactly.
New York has its own was for ceas for cement,
cement blocks. The story about that, you know, cement blocks

(12:14):
has been like in the conversation in New York with
mob stirs for years, say, yeah, they found the guy
at the bottom of the Hudson River, but cement blocks.
They've actually only found one person who actually had cement shoes,
is what it is. Where they put cement around his
ankles and his feet and throw him to him in
the river. So just let you know, it's not really

(12:36):
a popular thing.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
I read that it's actually really difficult to keep a
body underwater because after you die, all of the gases
in your body like bloat you and you will float.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
To the top.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Even a lot of times if there's something really heavy
tied to you, you'll still go.

Speaker 6 (12:50):
Because that's why that's why they find them, Like sometimes.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
That's why we put you in there in your car.
New York.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
We're going is for extortion, teas for teas for traffic.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, a is for Odjita. You have to be from
New York to understand that. Are we done?

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:14):
All right, I have a beautiful day, and let's hope
