Yeah, except for one person, Scotty in the other room.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I can't fit in there.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
And here's Gandhi, here's Scary, and here's Garrett. Our special
guest David Cats is here.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I apologize in advance. Here's here's here's Nate and uh hi,
how are you all right? Where do we start? Let's
start with our special guest, David Terrific? What say you? David?
What say me?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Can we talk about fate? Yes?

Speaker 5 (00:47):
So normally when I would come down to the radio station,
I would take the subway. This morning, at a doctor's appointment,
I'm going to I want to walk all the way
back to the subway to come here. And now I'm
gonna take a cab. So I take a cab and
we turned down fifty fifth Street and a truck is
backing out blocking traffic. Do I want to stay in
the cab or should I go out and walk? I
got out and walked. As I'm waiting at fifty fifth

(01:07):
and fifth Avenue to cross over, someone goes hey. Dave Katz,
who was a fraternity brother of mine from college. Why wow,
I hadn't seen him in twenty five years. Had I
not done all of those things, I would not have
seen him. And interesting enough, he manages buildings for a living.
He manages this building.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
A RelA can an? Can you give us a discount?

Speaker 5 (01:31):
I'm gonna try and I get ten percent.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
So let's talk about Okay, you see not to throw
uh throw this out the window. But let's say fate
had had played a different hand and you had stayed
in the cab. Who's to say that you wouldn't have
hopped out of the cab when you got here and
ran into another friend who owed you one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
He've been trying to find you for years.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
It's a distinct possibility.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's wondering.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
How many friends owe me that?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I don't know?

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Do you ever think about like if I left the
house one second earlier, I may have been hit by
a car, may have run a stop signing?

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Yeah all the time.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Did you see the movie Sliding Doors?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:13):
I was just thinking exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I think ever since I saw that movie, that's all
I think about all that.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Just the other day I was literally driving behind a
car and somebody exited off the parkway and slammed into
the car in front of me. If I got in
front of that car a little bit earlier, it would
have been me. So it just things just work out
the way they're supposed to. I guess I.

Speaker 8 (02:32):
Did David situations. I had a David situation yesterday.

Speaker 9 (02:35):
So normally I leave as soon as the show's over,
after I get all my work done. But I was
staying around working on some back end stuff on the
app and Gandhi's like, hey, can I get it right home?
So I waited until you guys were done with your production.
As we're walking out, I ran into a guy I
haven't seen in nine years. He lived in New York
and he moved to LA and he just happened to
be getting a juice and walked down the same corner.

(02:57):
We literally stopped as we were crossing the street, and
we're like, Garrett.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
I know, but one minute off of.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Course, second Ma Ryerson Groundhog Day.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Sorry, David Ketch knows every line from every movie ever
made before the year nineteen eighty seven.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Stephen Cablowaki and Carnie Award winner.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Thank you very much. That's David David will get mad
at me. He'll go, how do you not know that line?

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, we'll be writing in trip. He'll go, what do
you say, Martha? What movie is that?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
What do you say, Martha?

Speaker 3 (03:36):
I don't know? And are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
You didn't watch Back to the Future or you know
inserts old old movie life here.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Left. Oh, yeah, you know which one I do with her?
From the movie Trading Places. They certainly are a musical
people aren't. Yes, my wife is Baijian. I can say
those things she asks, thank God.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
But I do do it to her.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
All you do is just I bet she She probably
abuses you fifteen times more than you abuse her.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
She and the dogs combined. Okay, I've been trying to
talk people out of getting multiple dogs. Y, I've got two.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
I love them well, obviously.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
I think David Skeary and myself had a lovely man
date last week and it was a great little bonding
experience for the three of us. We had a little
bit of bacon, a little bit of steak saw the show.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
A little bit of bacon in my life.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I heard you play that song early you.

Speaker 10 (04:34):
Know what, and I was about to say along those
lines it was nice to get out of the monotony
of the same people that I always hang out with,
Like I have my whole Boken friends here and jet Ski,
Bryan and Fald and Indian Mad those guys, and then
I got my Brooklyn friends over there, my girlfriend, and
then I have my family and Frankie.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
How funks take doing Frankie one of your one of
your friend's names.

Speaker 10 (05:08):
So so yeah, it was just nice because the dynamic
and the chemistry is different because I switched up my
group because I usually don't.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Have dinner with David very often or Nate, so the
three of us came together. I'm like, this was kind
of fun.

Speaker 10 (05:21):
I would like to do this again sometimes because it
brought new conversation into my world.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
There are different types of things.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Next time for a force and bring stick.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Anyway, sorry that I digress.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
It's going great. I'm just trying to not have dead
air here for a second. Scotty's still working, We're just playing. Yeah, well,
I mean that's why that's people don't understand, like, well,
why don't you hang out with them? I'm still running
the show in here while you guys are doing that,
So I have to kind of be in here and
paying attention.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's no not today, we're.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Having all this fun.

Speaker 8 (05:55):
What movie is that from?

Speaker 6 (06:00):
He's excited about him there.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I wouldn't call it a toy. I stole a mail
cart from another floor because I'm just trying to find
some place to put all my cereal because it's gathering
on the floor and that's becoming a problem. Yeah, it's
a fire hazard.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Who said that?

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Apparently?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Problem?

Speaker 6 (06:16):
What somebody told me that you've got a little hoarding
situation going on in there now?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I mean, it's just it's serial.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
It's not really problem somebody asking is someone asking him
to clean it out? Or they're just commenting on the
fact he's a slob.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
That yeah, that's Andrew would say.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
The word rat.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Is that part of the problem, the attraction to vermin,
you believe it or not.

Speaker 6 (06:47):
Last when we had the serial library in the old studio,
there was never any roads.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Nerary, not even an ant because the cereal was so
old and nasty.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Didn't want to get I just I don't know what
to do with it.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I'm running into a problem again here because the boxes
are piling up. Can't throw it out?

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Then you gotta you gotta police that shelves.

Speaker 7 (07:09):
Weren't you getting shelves?

Speaker 3 (07:10):
I was told I wasn't allowed to.

Speaker 8 (07:11):
Who told you that David just met his college roommate.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
I'll call them, Yeah, but building I said from the
beginning that what we should do in the kitchen down
the hall is we should put those cereal dispensers, and
after we try them, I'll dump them into the dispenser.
Let people here eat them, you know, with the knobby things,
and I'll just keep there.

Speaker 8 (07:30):
And plus we can't have nice things.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
But can we go back to why you said, why
can't you throw them out? You said you can't throw
them out.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Because it's I have a serial podcast. I can't throw
the cereal away.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
I've done the sea. You've tested the cereal. You tried it, Yes,
some of them you've hated. It's gone.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's probably something in my brain that won't allow me
to do that.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Nostalgia.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, I won't throw it.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I don't want to throw it out.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
Why can't you just put a couple of boxes in
the kitchen and like because.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Something because something in my head tells me that I
have to keep the ball.

Speaker 10 (08:02):
I'm with you, and it's the same thing like for instance,
like like with legacy electronic equipment. For me, I have
to have see my CD players and my tape decks
and my turntables.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
I can't get rid of it. Call them legacy equipment.

Speaker 10 (08:13):
It's called legacy equipment. And that that's the old school
analog stuff. That's like you know, an actual physical you
know a MFM radio?

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Uh you know?

Speaker 8 (08:20):
Do you have an player?

Speaker 10 (08:21):
I don't have an a track, but oh no, oh
my god, but I do have a real to reel
and audio reel to reel, and I have two movie projectors.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
From my aunt, my great aunt Millie and my parents.
And I refuse to part.

Speaker 10 (08:31):
With this stuff. And it's sitting in storage. I'll never
use it. You don't listen to the media on that
stuff anymore.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
I'll come over.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
We can watch some super eight movie films.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, it's allm porn.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Right.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
If you give me your boxes, I'll make you something
out of it.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I have hundreds of them.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Something to hang behind you?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay, I will do that. I would love that because
this wall is bare. I need something.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Give them to me.

Speaker 7 (08:57):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah, see problems you want to show that movie projector,
I'll give it you for free.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (09:05):
My mom said that my grandpa used to watch this
movie on the movie projector and it was this girl.
She was belly dancing and she was topless, and she
would always tell my mom. He would always tell my mom,
you can't watch this movie. But she always knew what
it was, and so when he wasn't around, she'd sneak
the movie. And that was like the first like porn
fact then with the topless dancer like an injector. I

(09:27):
don't know, No, it wasn't somebody we knew, but it
was an actual movie.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
It was.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, it was like, you know, we have I we
our family. We have old family movies on Super eight,
no sound, you know, you gotta run it through the machine.
And we still have the projector somewhere. I think I
think I should probably transferred to some point before it
falls apart.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
Did you ever have those family nights? I mean we're
old enough that you know we'd sit up in the
in the playroom. We'd put up the screen, the projector
and watch those great home movies without any sound.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Did you did you guys do that?

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yes, yes, how much fun was so much And who
in this room is old enough to remember when the
movie projector came into your classroom on the media car
Remember that, Yes, I thought it would come off the
reel and it was like hello. How about when there
was a slide show and it beeped and change it?
And it was your job to change the slide part.

Speaker 7 (10:20):
You always wanted to be the kids whenever they wanted
to volunteer.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Like I want there's the button, It was on a
record and it would be media geeks.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
The av club. Well didn't interview ever.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Work in the cafeteria were at school they had they
would make like one or two kids per week, like
do detail.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
In the.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
I would get out.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I was like, I'm not going to do that. I
got out of it every single time my mom would
call in six second.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
I was the chocolate milk monitor because to make sure
the kids.

Speaker 8 (10:54):
Have that makes so much sense.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Would job.

Speaker 10 (10:56):
They wouldn't allow kids because it was the regular milk
and the chocolate milk. They wouldn't allow the kids to
reach their hands in because they were going to take
two or three. So I would have to stand there
and hand it and put it on their tray. So
they wouldn't go near the refrigerator. So I was the
chocolate milk.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
And how about safety patrols? And if you the safety squad,
I was on the safety patrol. I was the sergeant.
I would yell at kids were running in the way,
take their name sergeant.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yes, you would be a sergeant in a safety.

Speaker 7 (11:24):
Where I grew up the safety monitor, like had their
underwear pulled over their head.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
And yeah, my badge was a different color because I
was I was.

Speaker 9 (11:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Ever we had a sash with a badge. Someone got
to go to the crosswalk and I would write kids
names down for running in the hall.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
Of course you did you know?

Speaker 3 (11:39):
I was also the pullout monitor.

Speaker 10 (11:44):
Were quiet, quiet, like lunch periods sometimes and I used
to walk around and if I saw if people talking,
I'm like, get out, and then you just have to
go to.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
The front road. Wait, wait, hold on. They would put
you in that position. See that's not cool, that's.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Not My school was like that.

Speaker 10 (11:58):
We had like four or five of us walk around
and I said, yesterday as a senior. As a senior,
and I'd be like you you too, get out, get out,
And then.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
There's a bouncer. Is kind of funny to me.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yea when when we.

Speaker 10 (12:11):
Went outside to play, those kids who were not eating
their lunch silently, they had to go stand against the
wall for the rest.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Of the elements and they would shoot them.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
They would beat them with baseball.

Speaker 7 (12:27):
Lunch supposed to be a place where you can let
it all out.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Why would you one tip kids want talk?

Speaker 10 (12:34):
There was the cold lunch kids in the hot lungs
kids to talk, the cold lunch kids and the hollange
kids while they were the first twenty five minutes, they
had to be silent.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Why I don't know. And the younger kids had to
put their heads there.

Speaker 11 (12:48):
I'm like, and then and then and then you went outside,
and then the people got to play.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
The kids got to play, but not room got to play.

Speaker 10 (13:01):
The ones who had it were pulled out by the
pullout monitors had to stand against the wall, you.

Speaker 6 (13:05):
Know, unconsciously steal recess from people.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
It was it was lunch.

Speaker 8 (13:09):
Would people pay you off?

Speaker 3 (13:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
But I that seems like the Brooklyn way.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I gotta be honest. Did that not go on in
any now?

Speaker 9 (13:17):
No?

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well, not that we're have The name.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
Pull out Anthony hasn't stuck over the years, just beyond me.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
They was strict as hell, manz. You know what I
used to do in lunch The little milk cartons that
they would you would get for lunch was a quarter
or whatever it was that our cafeteria had those walls
that would fold out so they could make it you
know another room. You know those walls that.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
The boardian walls and tractable walls.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
So we would each get containers of milk and we
would pull the wall out just a little bit and
put it inside one of the folds. Then we would
all go up against the wall and smush it and
milk would just flow all over the floor.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
See, you should have gone to school with Scary. You
needed discipline.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
I've been standing against a wall.

Speaker 8 (13:54):
And Scary would pull you out so quickly.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, right, anyway out.

Speaker 10 (13:58):
And it will continue in middle too with mister Rossini.
He was he was the gent teacher who presided over lunch.
And he'd be like past the line of demarcation and
enter the halls of nutrition and then that would run in.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
This was my piece.

Speaker 8 (14:13):
Sounds like an acid trip.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
You what a shitty fucking school.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
You rapid master cation is bad for you. But that's
what he used to do what he's not making this
ship up.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
He was telling you you're eating too fast.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, rapid mastication, the effects of rock.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
You're going to school in the thirties.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
That's how they spoke. That was middle school.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
We're going you're eating too fast, Slow down here, we
gotta get out of it.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
Yeah, we've learned way too much to stand in the corner.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Get the wall, scary, kick us out, NI way too fast,
kick us out, scary alright.
