Speaker 1 (00:04):
Sauce on the side. What's up, Diamond, Hi, Hi, just
the two of us. We've been doing this a lot
without Andrew, and it feels glorious, well fucked up of us,
but hey, here we are. I have so many things
I want to talk to you about. One, there were
a bunch of really great, ask me anything questions. Some
of them are a little spicy. I'm here for it.
And Two, by the time this airs, you will have
(00:28):
gone to your sister's wedding. Yes, done the speech that
you were a little paranoid about, a little nervous I
should say a little nervous about. Are you feeling good?
Sweating now from just saying that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Okay, I finally finished the speech. Okay, took me about
a year to do.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Okay. Did you use Chattypete at all?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I did? Okay, But she told me I could okay,
because I told her I was struggling, and she was
a girl like I just used chatchy Ptea and I
didn't want to for a really long time, but I did.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And it worked out. Okay, Yeah, okay, you could share
part of it with us, but I'm not going to
ask you that. Oh we'll get to this after after
the wedding, so like the next episode, because again, even
though we are recording this ahead of time, you're going
to do this after the fact. Yep, Okay, I'm excited. Congratulations,
(01:23):
thank you so much. I'm so happy that it's like.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Done, yeah, and that I'm not writing it the night before.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm very happy for you too. I was writing my
best friends on the bus on the way to do
things well, no, no, I changed things. And guess what,
your girl got a standing ovation. Oh don't Okay, that's
a lot of pressure. I was a good one. I
was very happy.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I'm nervous, you know. The thing that I'm nervous the
most about what is like my family not getting the
cues of like me needing them to say things, so like, oh,
you tell them because.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I wanted to be organ and then they're just losers.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
But like, here's this thing we do when we're talking
about whoever our sister is, and we're like my sister,
my sister.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It is a long story.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But then like everybody usually chants in like my sister,
my sister, and I'm like if I do.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
That, and they don't, so you need the call and
they don't repeat back. I'm gonna literally throw my phone.
But that's like a really good time. And this is
why I think improv classes are so important. That's a
really good time for you to take a comedic break
and call them out on it, like, hey, you're leaving
me fucking hanging up here. Thanks a lot, family, thanks
a lot. Oh god, yeah, I'm excited for you to
do this. I can't wait. Oh god, I'm excited. But
(02:37):
you know, and your hair looks really great. Nobody can
say it, but your hair looks amazing. Oh, thank you.
You're so welcome. So you know, we always ask for
ask me anything questions and then we start to do them.
We get super sidetracked by a bunch of things. But
I've been saving them and some of these are really good. Okay, okay,
some of them are like very spicy, like I said,
and some of them are middle of the road. So
(03:00):
the first one that I will this is kind of
like a little bit of like human stuff. This is interesting. Okay,
what's the first thought you have when your alarm goes off?
Not the bit, the like real thought you have when
your alarm goes off.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Okay, so I have an alarm that goes off about
forty five minutes before I'm actually supposed to get up,
so do I. So that one goes off, I'm like,
oh shit, I woke up because like a lot of
the times, I sleep through it, I sleep through the
first one, so I'm like always surprised.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
When I wake up to that first alarm, So I
think that's it. What time is that first alarm? Three
forty five? Oh? Me too?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, So I'm like, oh, okay, I woke up. Maybe
I did get some rest last night. That's usually and
of course like already yeah like that, but like yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, so we have the same thought. My thought is
usually what time is it? Really? Like, let me look
at this clock and figure out. Okay, oh okay, I
have seven four minutes that I thought amazing back to
sleep by going for the best dream I've ever had,
only be woken up again in nine minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But you need it because what have you done it
where you didn't have that alarm?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh I can't. I will sleep through it because I'm
so used to and condition at this point to hitting
snooze so many times that I have to have multiple alarms,
which is, you know, very sad for anyone who is
sleeping in that bed with me. Sorry? Yeah, all right?
So the next one, this was interesting. Do you ever
get lonely being the person everyone feels connected to but
(04:34):
few people actually know? Hm, not really, I think no, No,
I think that, like.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I just I think, well, I think the term loneliness
is subjective, right, So I'm jeople feel like when they
don't have people around them, or they don't have people
to talk to, like, it's different types of lonely. I've
had lonely moments, but not necessarily like, oh, I feel lonely.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Like and not because of the job. No, or were
they because of the job? Okay?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No, no, no, no, I felt lonely today. So nobody came
into my studio.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I didn't even know you were here. Nobody came there.
I sort of got I look back, I did't even
see you. And then when I walked out of the
studio I saw you standing, I said, what the fuck? Hello?
And I think Scotti felt bad because he came to
give me a hug, and also, why didn't you come
and tell us hello, I'm here? No one said hi
to me? Eh, so you will not do that. You
just sit there feeling lonely and I'm like, okay, I'm
(05:43):
just gonna scroll on. I feel like I just would
have kicked in the door and but like I'm here
and walked away.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Imagine about I would have loved it his eyes, You
would have loved it. Nate would have been like, okay,
And anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I appreciate women making their presence known. I appreciate it.
I want more of it. To answer that question, No,
to me, I do not feel lonely being a person
everybody feels connected with. I think that's actually like pretty cool.
I can see where this question was going. I also
think that, like it's really important with these jobs to
have a real life, to have a life completely outside
(06:16):
of what you do here, to have friends who could
give half a shit what you do, that don't care,
that ask you questions like wait, who is that who?
Like Brandon does not even know who Paul Rudd is
And that makes me laugh so hard. And I really
love it, by the way he said, and I quote, sorry,
I only know aless celebrities like David Spade. Okay, well, Brandon,
(06:41):
thank you so much for your time. I'm sorry I
could have accepted the like you don't know who Paul
Rudd is like, no problem, okay, but then to follow
it up with that diabolical statement, and then he found
like three friends to agree with him. So who looks
like the asshole on that me? Anyway, I appreciate that
I really like having like this whole life outside of this,
but this doesn't make sense to those people. I think
(07:03):
it's important to like keep yourself one foot in and
one foot out and like one it makes you really
appreciate this job and like the cool parks that we
get and how much fun we have getting to laugh
every day with people that you like. It's awesome, but
it is going to come to an end for all
of us. Yeah, if we're lucky, we have a say
in that. I don't think we're gonna be lucky. I
(07:23):
think that when you sign up to be an entertainment,
you sign up for a roller coaster and you don't
always know when you're getting off. So I don't feel
lonely in that way. And I try to explain to
people that the attention that we get here. While it
is so nice for people to say nice things to
us and you know, leave us sweet comments, and I
actually there are some dms you get every now and
(07:45):
then that really kind of stop you in your tracks.
You're like, oh my god, thank you so much. That's
so kind. Also on the opposite side, but this is
not it's not real life. It's not the people who
are going to show up when you get a horrible
phone call in the middle of the night because you
lost somebody. That's the real stuff. Like, that's the stuff
that I value a lot, is those people that I
(08:06):
can pick up and call them and say, hey, I
got this horrible phone call and I don't want to
be by myself, and they will show up. That's real
to me. So because you have that, I don't. This
job doesn't make me feel lonely, like I'm not connecting
with people. And I think we're pretty real as far
as who we are in real life versus who we
are on the air. Granted, I've been told there's a
(08:28):
bunch of things I can't say, but catch me in
the street and we'll talk about it outside of that.
You know, you're a funny person. You know what I'm
talking about. You all know what I'm talking about. Just
have a feeling, all right, Oh, this is an interesting one.
(08:49):
What is something you wish people understood about how the
show affects your personal life. It's a solid question, so
while you think of it, Yeah, I'll answer okay, because
I've been trying to do this thing where like I
go first so that I don't make people like I
don't put people on the spot without having like some
(09:09):
sort of guidance for them. I'm trying. I'm trying. So
I would say, if I am out nine to ten
pm at night on a week night, I just really
want to be appreciated for that. Oh yeah, because we
wake up, As Diamond previously said, the time we wake
(09:29):
up starts with a three, so that is not glorious.
And at best, if I'm out at ten pm, I
might get three hours of sleep. Because by the time
you go home, unwind, get yourself ready for the next morning,
and actually are able to sleep, you're looking at like midnight.
So that definitely like the toll on our social lives
in some way. I kind of wish people to understand
(09:50):
that because I have so many two nobody do that anymore.
Like I've done it a few times, but it's not
something I want to do all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's not something I want special occasion fuck that invite
me out I'm not going how about that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I know that about you, but I still invite you out. Yeah,
thank you, You're welcome. And then the other thing is
I kind of wish that our significant others, whoever they are,
because I've dated multiple people while I've been on that air,
would understand that not everything we say on the air
needs to be taken so seriously and taken to heart.
(10:25):
And yes, I said that man was hot, that doesn't
mean I'm leaving here with him. I'm going to do something,
you know, Like, I wish that, And I understand it's
hard on the other side, but I'm like, do you
not know me? Yeah, I've been fucking around all the time.
I just say stuff to mess around. It's not like
an attack on you. But I guess you know, I
(10:46):
haven't been on the other side of that, so I
don't know. But those are the things that I wish
people understood.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I wish that people would understand that I can't get
them tickets. I'm serious, Like I can't, Like I can't.
I can't.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You know, like you can't or you won't.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I can't, girl, I can't. Okay, I've tried, and I can't. No,
I can't yeah, like you know, it's just like it's
not something that I could do all the time. Like
I got you into a show once you want to
go again.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Also, well, you can't keep asking once I do it once,
I'm not going to keep asking. Oh you got people,
and I can't state where you sit either.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, that's I tell people that all the time. Just
because I'm getting you these tickets does not mean they're
going to be good. Oh do you remember the jingle
Ball fiasco from last year? Were you part of that?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Okay, so what happened once? I don't remember this at all.
It might have only been like a fire internally, like
in the studio. But I had asked for X amount
of tickets for jingle Ball, and then one of the
people canceled, like two days before. She said she wasn't
gonna be able to go. So I had this extra
pair of tickets. Apparently what I was supposed to have
(12:01):
done was give them back. I didn't know that. Nobody
told me that. I thought, once you give me these
tickets and my tickets, it's like, okay, this is part
of what we we get as perks for being on
this show and hosting this big event. But okay. So
we had a listener call in who really wanted to go,
and we had zero tickets left, and I was like,
oh wait, I actually have a pair that someone just
gave back and I gave them to the listener. Oh
(12:23):
my god, this shit hit the fan. I got email
after email from different people you're supposed to just close
that you didn't need to use them anymore, And this
caused a stir and I was like, no, I'm not
what if you gave them to me, why can't I
then do what I please with them? However? Not the
hell I'm trying to die on. So now I know
going forward, if I ask for tickets I can never
(12:44):
give a pair away on the air ever. Again, do
you know how stupid that sounds?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Stupid?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It was, yeah, like, oh, I'm sorry. So what if
I gave the tickets to said friend whoever I was
given them to, and they decided that they were going
to give the tickets to someone, right, what does that matter?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I mean they were acting like I sold the tickets.
I was like, I'm sorry, I served our listeners and
gave them something that they wanted. Like it was.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It was a debuckle imagine I didn't imagine listening to the.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Show, like, yeah, I got in trouble for that. Oh god,
so you want people to know that you can't get
them tickets? Is there something else about your personal life?
Does this impact like you personally with the dating game?
Or oh yeah, how does that feel?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Like? If you want me to be alive and live
and I did, then you shouldn't be upset that I'm
going to bed at eight o'clock. I think that people
underestimate the I'll say guys specifically because those are the.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
People that I've dated.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I don't know how women feel about this, but like
the amount of times that guys have said, oh yeah,
you really went to bed at eight o'clock?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Oh my god? Are done here? Because if I tell
you that I wake up at four and you think
that I fuck around with my.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Sleep the way that you probably do, then we're just
not on the same page because you just don't value
your sleep.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Also, you're also starting off from a place of not
trusting me, and this is going to be an ongoing issue.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
And then also I have an issue with people thinking
that I'm a liar, So I'm like, yeah, fuck you. Yeah,
I think I'm scared of you, Like you are you
sure you think that I'm gonna lie to you?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Okay? Great bye? Yeah, so yeah that that would be
a problem. Is I totally get it. And I'm just like, listen,
there is just this x amount of time. I have
a very cool job and I love it, and they
get great perks. We can share in the great perks together.
But like, I just need a little support sometimes and
some of the things that might be difficult for you,
because like I'll support the shit out of other people
(14:44):
and what they do. I really try to show up
and actually like be there and be a good buddy
and a good girlfriend and a good family member. But
every now and then, like support me back. Please.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Oh you know another thing, tell me specifically about this show. Yes,
I need people to understand that my vacation days.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Are decided for me. Yes.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
So if you are planning a girls trip and you
ask for my input, I'm going to ask that you
book it around or plan for it to be right.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's the only time you can go.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And I don't want to, Like I feel like in
group chats before, I've been like, well, can we do
it around my schedule? And people look at me like, oh, yeah,
let's do it around diamond schedule. But seriously, because well,
do you.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Want dime in there to go? Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I can't just take off a random Friday and Monday
like you guys can.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Right, It just doesn't work that way for me.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
We have a lot of really cool parks, and we
also have some very rigid things that we have to do.
My sister says she loves the fact that she knows
she can turn on the radio and know where I
am and what I'm doing and how I feel. That's hilarious,
I know. I mean, she will text me, she can
hear it in my voice if there's something wrong, if
I'm a little down, she hears it our six am
(15:55):
break when he says hi to everybody. If I don't
say hi the way she thinks I should be saying hi,
this bitch like, hey, are you okay? What's going on?
It's the best. It's like, it's the best. Having a
sister like that is the best ever, even though sometimes
I'm like, back off, I don't want to talk about
it at leash. Your sister listens. Oh she doesn't, Are
you kidding me? Hello?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No, Like listens to the show. Oh, my sister is
counting cheap right now. You know what, My sister doesn't
listen to this. She tries to lie about it too.
I caught her so many times. She's like, I'm just
a few episodes behind. I was like how many.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
She's like, I'm up episode thirteen. I said, bitch, we're
like ninety. Yeah. I even told her. I was like,
just do this for me. And if anyone listening could
tell their friends to do this same thing, you can
just hit play and not listen to the episode. Just
give me the download, give me the listen, like help
a girl out. My sister not into it, you know.
(16:45):
She said, if I want to know what's going on
in your life, I'll just talk to you. Oh you
can just tell me. I said, no, please, And then
I do have a couple very good friends who listen
and don't really say anything about it until something comes up,
and then they're like, oh shit, I heard blah blah.
Like when I was talking crap about my friend Solomon
and his Instagram page, shout out Sally, Hello, he listens.
(17:07):
That's a good friend. But also, yeah, watch your mouth
about me. Hey, you know, talk crap. About me on there.
I was like, oh, I forgot you. Listen, you do
it so quietly. I love you. By the way, Solomon
is single. If anyone's interested, He's one of the coolest
people in the entire world. I love him so much. Solomon.
I don't even know what his Instagram is or if
it's activated at the moment. He goes back and forth
(17:29):
all the time. That's what you know who he wants you. Hey, Sally,
I tried. That was me trying for diamond. I told
you I would.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You're sick.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You see like your type? I told you. Yeah, he
works out. He's shorter, he's like kind of cuddly, a
short king you do. But he's also like strong. So
I feel like that's a good yeah. And now I
have given Solomon the shout out that he's been looking
for forever. Buddy. Okay, oh, these are getting good? Do
(18:12):
you think? First of all, I'm gonna start with one question.
Do you think you're good at what you do? Sure? Okay,
So this is the follow up question. What's the moment
in your career when you realized, oh shit, I'm actually
good at this.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, I don't know, maybe that just tells me that
I'm not really good at what I do. I don't
really think there's anything like I'm doing a lot of
clerical work.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Okay whatever, this isn't clerical work. I think you're great
at this. Oh well, thank you, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I filled in for someone a few years ago, and
I think I did a pretty good job and I
liked doing it. And I remember leaving that day feeling like, oh,
this is cool, this is what I should be doing.
And apparently the people that I worked with like spoke
really highly of me from that one day.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, it's like, oh, okay, great, So I didn't know
what I was doing. Okay, great, yea, so I think,
and I don't want you to take this the wrong way. Yeah,
that's what a setup. I think you are way better
at the stuff you don't want to do and don't
think you're good at than the clerical work. I think
when you do overnights, we get a lot of really
positive feedback and the text messages. I'm sure you can
(19:30):
see those people love it. I think on this podcast
people love you. I think social media wise, whenever we're
like playing around, you are a super stuff. Oh thank you.
I think you're great at that stuff. I think the
clerical work is like a I know that's what you're
here to do, but that to me, if I were
to describe you, none of that would play into it.
Oh wow. Yeah. So I hope that when you see
(19:52):
some of those text messages, you're like, you know, what
this thing that I didn't sign up to do, but
I'm doing. I am pretty good at well. Thank you,
You're welcome, thank you made my day flips here. That's it,
that's all it took. Oh my god, just compliment the girl.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
What kind of life are you leading out here? For me?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I would say there hasn't been a moment where I'm like,
oh shit, I'm good at this. What there really hasn't been.
I think that a moment where I mean, it's so subjective, right,
Like what we do is I could come in and
feel like I put my all into it and it
didn't get received by anybody. You know, nobody clicked with it,
(20:34):
nobody connected. So I'm still trying to figure out what
actually lands with people and what doesn't. And I think
that's where then you start thinking about authenticity and I'm like,
I don't need to focus so much on what lands
with people. I just need to be who I am. Yeah,
but just being who I am, I wouldn't say that
that's a super talent, you know what I mean. I
don't think that it's like a oh shit, I'm good
(20:55):
at this. Yeah. I think this question, like.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Someone thinking that you're good at something, is subjective, right,
because yes, you could.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well with what we done. Yeah yeah with this.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, someone could listen and say, oh, I want more structure.
There's also someone who could listen and say there's too
much structure.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I welcome to the research meeting.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, like you're not talking enough about this or I
don't want you to talk about this at all.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Oh you're talking too much. Yeah, so I want more,
I want less, I want this. So I don't know,
like for us as personalities, I'm not really sure that
there's like a oh shit, I'm really good at this.
There have been moments where I've been like, damn, I
can't believe I'm doing this. So maybe those are kind
of like akin to that. I mean, getting this job,
I was like, what you were shocked? I was stunned. Well,
(21:43):
the way it all happened, I mean, I know we've
kind of talked about this before, but I just resigned
a contract in Boston. I had always been an executive
producer so Nate on our show, but I always had
a mic too, which I didn't realize that that wasn't
kind of how it's supposed to go. For the most part,
executive don't talk all the time and do stuff. So
(22:04):
I had just resigned a contract in Boston, and it
was dramatic over there. Everything about Boston was dramatic. The
person I worked for the process like all of it.
And then I got a call from someone here just asking, hey,
can you just shoot us a demo? And like your
resume were brushing up on everybody's audio. We want to
keep a bank blah blah. Said okay, sure, and I
(22:25):
sent some audio. But I also sent a very stupid
version of the audio because I was like, this is
just a they're just collecting stuff, so I'm not actually
gonna send something incredible. So I did a news report,
but I responded to myself in the news report, what
so it would be like? And another suspicious package was
(22:46):
found in downtown Boston. Can you believe that another suspicious
package that was the audio that I submitted? Right, So
I was like, this is I didn't think it was real.
I didn't think there was anything actually behind it. And
the the negotiations and the contract stuff in Boston had
been so atrocious that I was like, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna stay here. And then I got a call saying, hey,
(23:09):
we love it if you could just come in and
sit in on the show one day. And I still thought, Okay, sure,
I'm totally gonna go do it. And I'm so flattered
that they would even have me, but let's be real.
And then I came here, and then everything changed, and
then my life in Boston became horrible, and here we are.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Did you know leaving that day that like, did your
perception change like that specific day or did you like.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The day I sat in with the shop or did
you leave that day feeling like, eh, still well whatever.
I left that day and I thought, what a cool experience.
This has been the best. Someone is gonna love this job,
Like that's genuinely what I thought when I walked out.
And I remember just like standing in the street outside
our Tribeca studio and looking around New York City, cause
that's very like New York city, looking and thinking, Wow,
(23:55):
this is so cool. I can't believe that they even
had me come here and do this amazing. I just
left it there and that was to me, that's what
it was gonna be, and it wasn't gonna turn into
what it turned into. But I was super happy to
get this job. I remember exactly where I was when
I got it, sitting on the floor in my apartment,
and Elvis called me and he was like, hey, I
(24:16):
just want you to know you're the one we're coming for,
and I like fell down on the floor. I was like, well,
what he's like, There's just a lot of stuff we
have to work out, and there was, which is why
I actually got the job. I wonder if this is
too much behind the scenes, it can't be, I think.
So I got the job in June. They offered me
(24:36):
that job in June, and I did not come here
until September because there was some shit going on behind
the scenes and a project that I had been working
on over there, and like all kinds of stuff. But
it was that I would say, when it comes to
like a trying time in my life, that was one
of the harder, Like waking up every day and going
(24:57):
into an environment where but he was mad at me
was not fun. Now it's like a different environment where
everybody's mad at me, but like this is okay. You
are sick.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It was really like how did you do that?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Though? Going every day knowing that everyone's mad at you
and still having to show up.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I just was like, I have a job, and I
had an obligation that thing in September that I had
promised people I was going to see through until the end.
And I was like, I will stick to my word,
and this is a test, and if you can get
through this, you're gonna be fine. Everything will be okay.
I and I need you to process this because you
know me. Yeah. Have you ever seen me walk out
(25:41):
of a studio and cry?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Never, It happened often during those months.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yeah, oh you're better than me. I would have said,
I'm taking a sabbatical for the summer.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
By It was tough, man, It was really rough because
the guy that I was leaving did not want me
to go, but he did zero things to make me
want to stay. He just made me want to leave
so much faster. But it was like every day was
you're a trader, You're a backstabber, You're a climber on
the air and off the air. He would say these things,
and then I would have to just smile and nod
(26:10):
and like try and give everybody the prep that they wanted,
and keep editing things and just like huh. And there
were days where I'd walk out of that studio and
go around the corner into our theater and just cry
and then wipe my face off, fix my makeup and
go back in. It's like here we go, keep it going, Yeah, sabbatical.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I would have given them something to talk about on
the air. All the listeners would have been like.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
The F bomb two without the dumps? Yes? Yes, did
you hear that?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
She's Well, that just shows you that you are good
at what you do. You should have walked away from
that situation feeling like I am because it's like that
doesn't make me cable to do it and still at
least be professional, at the very least you're good at
being professional.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Well, the only thing I thought during that time, every
now and then, between the tears and the like high
blood pressure and my hair falling out, me running like
four miles a day, I used to sit there and
be like, huh, the boys are fighting over me. No, No,
there's all they want to be. No, But I still yeah,
(27:16):
I think it's it's a I think with these jobs,
if you ever get to the point where like, oh shit,
I'm so good at this, that's sort of like the
beginning of a downfall maybe, or maybe that's just me
like making it normal to talk shit to myself. Oh god, Anyway,
that was a long answer for that question. Oh, this
(27:37):
is a good one. Who on the team surprises you
the most when the mics are off? Who on the
team surprises me the most the mics actually go on.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I feel like when when Nate is on the air,
like I know, he's more of like his MIC's not
usually on while you got are in the room talking
on air, you Elvis and Daniel, right, But when he
does talk on the air, it's like, well, did you
know and and on this day eight hundred years ago,
this person you.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Know, like your favorite history teacher.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Then when we're.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Off the air, sometimes when we're in the little bullpen
after the show and he's just like pretending not to
hear us. I don't think that he's actually as stuff
as he is but he'll like just randomly jump into
conversations and actually give his insight on like personal things
that make you like, I'm like, oh, you are humans
(28:39):
and like you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Sometimes he makes a comment and you're like, girl, what,
I'm like you, Hey, don't talk shit about the Midwest.
There's plenty of plenty of blue areas out there. You
guys scare me. But yeah, like he'll surprise you. And
like a lot of the times.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
His advice is actually really good advice. Yes, and it's
from like lived experience too, so you appreciate it more.
I like it.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I like that it's better than just like.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
And Pearl Harbor was today with like a high pitch
voice even though it's really really dark.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Day. Like Okay, who I'm trying to think of who
would surprise me? So, like, who is different off the
air than they are on the air? Nate, definitely, that's
a good one. Nate's good. But I almost still your answer.
I don't know. I kind of feel like everyone is
pretty true to themselves on the air. You don't surprise
(29:38):
me because I know you. Yeah, I would say, I
know because you're doing this podcast. So no, I was
gonna say off the air you're you have much more
like firm opinions on things, and you're less like a
yes ten out of ten, Like you're less like that
off the air than you are on the air. But
I don't know, I mean off the air, off air,
(30:00):
I'm gonna have to go with Nate too, for the
same reasons. I'm a cop out. Sorry, but that was good.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think that that is the answer, though, like nobody knows.
Maybe No, I don't think.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
There's anyone who would really shock you no, with like
things that they would say or do off the air.
I would And this is probably overhyping me and overseelling me.
I think I am probably more professional than people would think.
I yes, yeah, but that's me again overhyping myself, like
overselling myself. But I do think that that might surprise people. Yeah,
(30:32):
I wonder if, like.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No, I was gonna say, there are some things that
Elvis has said off the air that shocked and surprised me.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
But it's not it's nothing like we all know he's crazy.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Like say things and I'm like, huh, you knows, like
there's a shock value to some of the things that
he says off the air. But I think that But
you're not shocked by it because of.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
His personality on the air. It's the same thing, yeah,
just like yeah, like gosh can be shocking, yes, but
that's not surprising to us. He's also just not really
on the air a ton. But some of the things
he says, I'm like, oh, all right, oh oh. And
you know what else I think. I think this label
of menace, which I came up with, by the way,
(31:16):
for other people, and somehow it became mind. I reject
that narrative. I think that a lot of the things
that people think are like menacing or me just saying
that's not what happened. Let's talk about what actually happened.
And suddenly we're a menace. Why this is not the
place to keep the ear thoughts to yourself.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Literally, walk by Andrew's desk and knock shit over.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
That's menacing. You like love it? And I love it too.
That is not untrue, you know, it's not untrue. I
do do that to Andrew, but I don't do it
to everyone else. The squirt bottle menacing, that's from my hair.
I loved it. I love it. People need to be
kept in check, and I don't know how else to
(32:02):
do it around here. Nobody wants to implement the studio
taser that I've been really asking for for a long time.
And I know that every now and then that studio
taser would come at me. You're a lunatic. Yeah, I
just don't think I'm as troublesome as people like to
paint me. But it's okay. We all have our we
all have our cross to bear, and now we need
(32:24):
to Okay. Is there a bit or a segment that
you regret ever doing or being part of. I'm a start.
There are not a ton of things I regret being
part of. There are a ton of things I wish
(32:44):
I would have said. Does that make sense? Uh? I guess,
like around certain political events or just you know, in general,
certain things when it comes to celebrity, that we don't
just call someone an asshole? Who is an asshole? Because
we're trying to like play both sides and be nice
(33:06):
and you know, you never know where someone's coming from.
I think sometimes people are just assholes.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, And I think to say that it's okay to
call them out, and even if they didn't mean to
be an asshole, maybe you saying that will make them
realize that yeah, they did come off that way, but
some people are really assholes, so I get it.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
There are times that I wish, but I just don't
want to, like fight with people in the room specifically,
not that it would be a fight, because none of
us are like really contentious toward each other like that,
But there are times where someone will say something and
I wholeheartedly disagree with it, and I wish that I
would say I disagree with that, because I've let things
go for a while and then said something, and then
we've gotten an outpouring of like, yes, I feel the
same way, Oh my gosh, thank you for saying something.
(33:46):
And then I think, okay, well, if I feel this way,
other people probably do too, so maybe I should say it.
You know, Like January sixth was one hundred percent of
terrorist attack. It was a terror attack on homegrown soil.
It was a homegrown terror attack in America, and it
was never addressed that way or talked about that way,
and I wish in retrospect that the reporting would have
(34:07):
been that way. And I don't think that that's something
people can say is politically motivated in one direction or another,
because it doesn't matter who those people were or what
they looked like. The act was the same thing, yep,
and it was terror. So I think things like that,
I regret, Hm, why are you smiling like that and
not saying anything, because I thought I completely agree. But
(34:32):
I think that like.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
That time was such a fuzzy time for me honestly
that I don't really remember.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Me were you on drugs? They don't like it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I've never told you this that like at like that
week that January sixth happened, I was reading a book
called Small Great Things by Jody Pecolt, which I think
is like one of the best books ever written, okay,
and it was about like a black nurse and a
white supremacist couple who needed her help delivering their baby
(35:10):
who was about to die. And it just was really
it fucked me up. And then so like as I'm
reading and I look up and seeing it in a
showing these people running into it was insane.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
So that whole attacking the police, it was horrifying to me.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
It was like, Okay, this is in a book and
it's not real, but this is real on the TV screen.
So a lot of like what was going on at
least in our personal lives or like behind the scenes
of the show around the town.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I don't remember it. Okay, Oh wow, what a trauma response.
Oh yeah, okay. I just think like we all saw
the footage, we all saw what happened. I think you
make those people a different color. It would have been
reported differently, but it's all the same thing. And it's
just little things like that. I think that I don't
know if I can even say I regret it, because
(35:57):
you know, we have like directives on how you're supposed
to things. So I was doing what I was supposed
to do, but in retrospect, it's like, well, that was
not the right thing to do. That wasn't the right
way to report it. Yeah, so that gets tough. Sometimes
I will say, doing the news, I do not my jam. No,
I love it. I like you know me, I'm like
(36:18):
a big newshead. I like news. I love the news.
But it is a sticky, tricky line to walk here. Yeah,
it really is. I would be given opinion, Well you can't,
you can't dimond no opinions. I can't do it. Okay,
this one's interesting. Is there a part of yourself you
intentionally hide because it doesn't fit the morning show tone? No?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
No part of you. No, I just don't like, you
can't switch. I colde switch.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
But that's that's not hiding something because we're not talking
to you like that.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
But yeah, and then also like I think we all
colde switch depending on who were in specific conversations for sure,
you know, so I do so, No, and I've always
done that. That's not like that's just so.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
It's a sign of intelligence. Oh well things, Yeah, I
mean I didn't come up with that, that's what they say.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I I've always been a very secretive person about like
certain personal things. So I guess maybe if I wasn't
always that way, i'd say, maybe like me not talking
about like who I'm dating and what I'm doing, like
maybe I would.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Be considered something that I would.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
But like I've always been that way anyway, So it
doesn't really feel like it's anything to me.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay, yeah, I get that. I would say kind of
the same, like, there are a lot of nuances with
Brendan and my relationship that I don't talk about on
the show because one I've sort of mentioned it here before.
I'm not trying to answer a million questions, and I
don't want one of my parents' friends to run to
(37:51):
them and be like did you hear that? And then
my parents are like completely gonna twist whatever was said
and it's going to turn out to be something crazy.
So well, I think that like certain again nuances of
my relationship with him and his whole life. Yeah, I
kind of keep that stuff a little closer to the vest,
but it's nothing overwhelmingly crazy. Like I don't think if
(38:14):
someone were to write a tell all book about me,
I wouldn't be scared. I don't think there's a lot
of like secrets.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Well you should, no, I'm kidding, polease, but I think
that you're conditioned with uh, your conditioned to live that
way or speak how you do on the air because
of just the way that the show is.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I remember, like my first week the.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Show, they're like, uh, I don't know, they were putting
me on the air for something, and they were like
rule number one, don't ever say anything that you don't
want to be on the air, and so or like
around people, even if the MIC's are all ah oh
and so so from that point forward, it was just like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I can't trust these people. Tell you guys, I feel
like every body does that and a lot of people
are are.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Just so willing to offer a personal shit because we're
going to talk about it amongst each other.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Anyway. I think a lot of people offer a personal
shit that might not even be true just to get
people to talk about it. I am doing the opposite. Yeah,
I'm like, I don't know who you're talking about. What's
(39:30):
the kind of humor you love that doesn't make it
to the air. I can't even talk about it my Instagram,
you know, because I send stuff to you. My Instagram
algorithm has fucked me. You laugh at one thing one time,
you send it to one person, and then all of
a sudden you're getting the worst things ever and still chuckling.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Well, also, I could talk about this, yeah, just the
state of politics that we're in right now, I think
is something that is to me, like I've removed my
a lot of my emotion from it and can laugh, right,
But we can't laugh about it on the air.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
But it's Donald Trump falling asleep while doctor Oz was
talking about people using losing billions of pounds or however
much it was, and then the guy passing out whilst
RFK fled. It's the funniest shit, like and Donald Trump's
like slowly coming to.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
People are like why is he just standing there? Because
he was literally in seconds before.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
What are you talking about? Listen? Politics aside? Right, like
take out any if Joe Biden did that, I would
have died laughing. He did plenty of weird stuff, for sure.
The meme of him turning around and smiling as he's
walking off the stage like diabolically. That shit's hilarious. I
don't you have to laugh at these things? But everyone
just actually it didn't happen. You know which one I'm
(40:47):
talking about, right, No, I do, But it made me think.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
This clip of the woman who ran for governor of
Virginia she lost when some is it whin some newsome
or something like that, she's name. She was given a
speech and she decided that she was gonna mock Kamala
Harris's I am speaking, I am speaking, and she did
it in such a tone that was like just fucking hilarious,
(41:12):
to the point where like I sent it to Andrew
and I was like, this is my new meme. If
I say I am speaking, I want you to know
that I'm saying in this tone. But I wish that
we could like laugh about shit like that on the
air because it's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Whin some earl sears, Okay, yeah, it is hilarious. Like
we all just need to be able to laugh about
stuff without someone calling you something crazy, Like there's just
shit that's really fucking funny right now, huh Hilary, Yes, yes,
and I appreciate it. It'll laugh to keep yourself from crying.
So it's like, hey, you know, what do you want
to do?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
You know?
Speaker 1 (41:43):
My favorite meme right now that I will be sending
people is when I send you this, No, I'm saying
it like this, I'm turned nice. I'm turnnice, ma'am. If
you didn't say love is blind the last season you have,
no I know what we're talking about. Edmund was insane.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
They should be se for having that man on the
on that show.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
No, okay, No, I don't like that one. Okay, I
think I think maybe I'll ask like one or two
more because time look at that. We could just talk forever. Hmmmm. No,
I don't like that one. Don't like that one. I
don't like that one. I split these up into spicier Oh,
(42:35):
I don't think you're gonna answer this. I don't even
know if we have answers. But who's the guest everyone
pretends to love but you secretly cannot stand. I can't stand. Yeah,
I don't know. Why are you living? I think of
like ten people, but I yeah, I mean because here's
(42:55):
while you think I'll say this. I've worked at other
stations before I came here, so I saw certain celebrities
in a smaller market and how they acted toward the
people in the smaller market. And they're not all sunshines
and rainbows and unicorns and shit that they are when
they walk in here because it's Elvis and you have
(43:16):
this massive platform with ten million people who are listening.
So now all of a sudden, they're like the nicest
person ever. And the whole show is like, oh my god,
I love that. There's not nice And I just sit
there and I'm like, the fuck they are? Oh I know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
J Lo j Loo was in fact very mean to
our man, Andrew was She was rude to him and
saw a couple of things she wasn't very nice about.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Yeah, I'm trying to There are probably one hundred more.
There are so many who I absolutely fucking love Lee.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Oh I love Lee Lee Straker is awesome. I think
he needs to call in at least once a week.
I know he can't do it on the phone, you
know how much what.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
I'm sorry, but just seeing the way that he like
shits on Elvis, who is so funny to me because.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
I feel like it's mutual, yes, shitting.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
And it's like but like I feel like a lot
of the times, like Elvis will say something to someone
and like they don't really have a response.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
He always has a response. I live for its hilarious,
my queen, I do. I love the like snarky people
that we kind of are like friends of the show.
Like Bobby Flay makes me laugh too. He makes me
chuckle when he comes in. Who else? I mean, I
just all of a sudden this turned into who we love?
I would say j Lo is the one. Yeah, but
(44:27):
also and to be fair, maybe she was just having
a couple off days on the times that we've encountered her.
I'm gonna livesty just a few. I'm gonna leave space
for that because you never know. But yeah, I'm trying
to I The thing is, even though I said, ask
me anything, I'm gonna try to answer. I cannot say
some of the people that I want to say because
(44:47):
I know that they're friends of the show and they
will be coming back. Oh, I can't say those say it.
I'll bleep it. I hate him down, hate him down.
I think you can say that. I don't. They'll be
coming back. Okay, I will say, and I'm gonna believe
this one too. Is very nice to Elvis, Danielle and
(45:10):
me and no one else. Oh, she barely speaks when
apparently just ignores everybody, doesn't talk to them. I can't
say her because I haven't witnessed it, but I know
what everybody else says when she's in, So I mean,
you gotta you gotta take that with some sort of
(45:31):
credibility if everybody says it. But she's always been so
kind to me, Elvis and Danielle that I'm like, well,
is that true? I will leave Spaceport again.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
I think this is I think this is a very
I can't answer the way that I would want someone
listening to the like if I was a listener, I
will want more of like a hardcore answer from Diamond.
But I don't. I don't hear a lot of the
interviews going on that's number one and number too. I'm
(46:01):
not like camping out to meet them in front of
the dressing room. I'm honestly thinking of like, Okay, well,
when are you guys going to leave? So I could
go back in there and take a nap, or like
don't leave it a fucking mess because I sleep there,
like you.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Know, yeah, like okay, can you say this? Who's left?
Speaker 2 (46:16):
It?
Speaker 1 (46:16):
The biggest mess that after they exited, you were like,
damn it, now I gotta clean all this up because
I want to take anap in here.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
There was someone I can't remember though they left, and
it was someone I liked.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
I'll say this post jingle ball like two years ago.
Oh dough chich oh oh you heard this? Did you
see it? Oh my god? It was a fucking mess. Yeah,
and all it looks like a partial murder scenes ridiculous
because there was like hair all over the place, like
pieces of hair, but also you could tell that she
had just dyed it because there was also like this
bright red stain places, and it looked like someone came
(46:52):
in through a party and then killed another person yeah
and left, And we walked in there.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
Like yeah, yeah, wow, Yeah, I didn't appreciate that. I
just felt like it was nasty.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
It was very nasty. I don't know if it was
her or her team, but whatever happened in that room
was atrocious. Yeah. It was so bad. Yeah yeah yeah.
So have you felt about these asking anythings? There's so
many more that I've logged. Oh, pretty great? Okay. Do
you think that we've talked long enough? Should we do more?
We can? Like, we have time, right, we do? Okay?
(47:24):
Who is a coworker that you would trust to bury
a body? And who would immediately fold under questioning? Scotty
would immediately fold under questioning, immediately immediately. I think Garrett
would immediately fold under questioning. Huh, Okay, I don't know.
Or I think Garrett would like inadvertently out himself trying
(47:46):
to like cover it up with something. I don't think he.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
I think he would try to take it to the grave.
But he'd given five minutes after someone asked him a question.
It would be like he walked away thinking that he
got away with it. He would turn back, give like
a gotcha moment.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
To the person and they'd be like, I feel like
he's the person, Like if he stole a wallet and
they were like there was eight hundred dollars in there,
and he'd be like, I didn't steal a wallet. Also,
there were only thirty dollars in there, right, dude? Yes,
I think Elvis would fold under questioning.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
Maybe, But yeah, he's the person I would want to
bury the body with because he had the funds to
clean it all up. If somebody clean it up and
pay the person who cleaned it up to never tell.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
He might have a fixer. What do we know, I
wouldn't be shocked. Okay, take finances out of it, damn
I know, even though I guess that is pretty significant. Yeah,
I kinda not to like completely play into the stereotype.
Maybe Nate. Yes, I might think Nate would bury the
body and then shut up about it and just do
what he needs to do. You know who? You know who?
Speaker 2 (48:46):
I can't believe I'm thinking who. I'm leaving you out
of it, Okay, scary because I feel like he's so disassociated.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
They forget immediately. Yeah, if it didn't have to do
with him and he didn't take a picture, you know,
it wasn't on Instagram, but I don't remembered, like and
people even if he was lying, people will believe him,
because that's literally who he is. So maybe scary and Nate, yeah,
I think scary and Nate, I would I would trust
I think I would trust you. I am I'm leaving
you out of this. I think I would trust you
(49:19):
therein it ends. Maybe not even that. I think everyone
else would dine you out on purpose. I just think
some people are like so innocent that it would accidentally
come out.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Like Daniel would be I remember what, oh yeah, oh yeah,
and remember when what like or like the next day
You're just trying to be be normal, and Elvis w'd
be like, what did you guys do last night?
Speaker 1 (49:40):
And she'd be like, gandhi, we can't talk about it,
but you know what we did last night? Like shut up,
shut up. She's too innocent, she's so nice. I don't
know if we have any of these. But what's the
Oh no, I have one. What's what's the wildest rumor
you've heard about yourself that was so wrong it was
(50:02):
almost flattering. I haven't heard of any. I was told
repeatedly that I am the reason that people here got fired,
which is hilarious because one, I wish I had that power,
and two, none of the people got fired, So it
was like, oh, what an interesting concoction you guys have
(50:26):
created here of like pieces of information, but also like
why why would I be the person who would one
do that or had anything to benefit from doing something
like that? And again I don't have that power and
I wouldn't play that game.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
No, thank you uninterested kind of think, No, I haven't
heard anything, thankfully.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
I stay out of the places where the rumors are
really swirling, so there could be something more atrocious out there.
Do you ever visit the places where the rumors swirl?
Speaker 2 (50:56):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (50:56):
Sometimes? Yeah? Do you ever comment? Never to comment? That
is some low down shit? Well, I will say that
is how you know that I don't hang out in
these places, because I really think I would say something
like I don't think I'd be able to not say
something if it was so far off bas like, where
did you hear this information? What else did I do?
This is amazing. I hope people were in their commenting
(51:19):
as themselves or maybe it's a.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Different place you're thinking another place, Oh okay, because I.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Had people are in there commenting as themselves. Yeah, sure,
and it's just like it's just like okay, was it
like a nice place. I don't know. Tell me no more.
I don't want to know anything else. Okay, what a
cliffhanger to end this episode. Well, so when it comes

Sauce on the side. What's up, Diamond, Hi, Hi, just
the two of us. We've been doing this a lot
without Andrew, and it feels glorious, well fucked up of us,
but hey, here we are. I have so many things
I want to talk to you about. One, there were
a bunch of really great, ask me anything questions. Some
of them are a little spicy. I'm here for it.
And Two, by the time this airs, you will have
(00:28):
gone to your sister's wedding. Yes, done the speech that
you were a little paranoid about, a little nervous I
should say a little nervous about. Are you feeling good?
Sweating now from just saying that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Okay, I finally finished the speech. Okay, took me about
a year to do.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Okay. Did you use Chattypete at all?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I did? Okay, But she told me I could okay,
because I told her I was struggling, and she was
a girl like I just used chatchy Ptea and I
didn't want to for a really long time, but I did.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And it worked out. Okay, Yeah, okay, you could share
part of it with us, but I'm not going to
ask you that. Oh we'll get to this after after
the wedding, so like the next episode, because again, even
though we are recording this ahead of time, you're going
to do this after the fact. Yep, Okay, I'm excited. Congratulations,
(01:23):
thank you so much. I'm so happy that it's like.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Done, yeah, and that I'm not writing it the night before.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm very happy for you too. I was writing my
best friends on the bus on the way to do
things well, no, no, I changed things. And guess what,
your girl got a standing ovation. Oh don't Okay, that's
a lot of pressure. I was a good one. I
was very happy.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I'm nervous, you know. The thing that I'm nervous the
most about what is like my family not getting the
cues of like me needing them to say things, so like, oh,
you tell them because.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I wanted to be organ and then they're just losers.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
But like, here's this thing we do when we're talking
about whoever our sister is, and we're like my sister,
my sister.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It is a long story.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But then like everybody usually chants in like my sister,
my sister, and I'm like if I do.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
That, and they don't, so you need the call and
they don't repeat back. I'm gonna literally throw my phone.
But that's like a really good time. And this is
why I think improv classes are so important. That's a
really good time for you to take a comedic break
and call them out on it, like, hey, you're leaving
me fucking hanging up here. Thanks a lot, family, thanks
a lot. Oh god, yeah, I'm excited for you to
do this. I can't wait. Oh god, I'm excited. But
(02:37):
you know, and your hair looks really great. Nobody can
say it, but your hair looks amazing. Oh, thank you.
You're so welcome. So you know, we always ask for
ask me anything questions and then we start to do them.
We get super sidetracked by a bunch of things. But
I've been saving them and some of these are really good. Okay, okay,
some of them are like very spicy, like I said,
and some of them are middle of the road. So
(03:00):
the first one that I will this is kind of
like a little bit of like human stuff. This is interesting. Okay,
what's the first thought you have when your alarm goes off?
Not the bit, the like real thought you have when
your alarm goes off.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Okay, so I have an alarm that goes off about
forty five minutes before I'm actually supposed to get up,
so do I. So that one goes off, I'm like,
oh shit, I woke up because like a lot of
the times, I sleep through it, I sleep through the
first one, so I'm like always surprised.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
When I wake up to that first alarm, So I
think that's it. What time is that first alarm? Three
forty five? Oh? Me too?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, So I'm like, oh, okay, I woke up. Maybe
I did get some rest last night. That's usually and
of course like already yeah like that, but like yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, so we have the same thought. My thought is
usually what time is it? Really? Like, let me look
at this clock and figure out. Okay, oh okay, I
have seven four minutes that I thought amazing back to
sleep by going for the best dream I've ever had,
only be woken up again in nine minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But you need it because what have you done it
where you didn't have that alarm?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh I can't. I will sleep through it because I'm
so used to and condition at this point to hitting
snooze so many times that I have to have multiple alarms,
which is, you know, very sad for anyone who is
sleeping in that bed with me. Sorry? Yeah, all right?
So the next one, this was interesting. Do you ever
get lonely being the person everyone feels connected to but
(04:34):
few people actually know? Hm, not really, I think no, No,
I think that, like.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I just I think, well, I think the term loneliness
is subjective, right, So I'm jeople feel like when they
don't have people around them, or they don't have people
to talk to, like, it's different types of lonely. I've
had lonely moments, but not necessarily like, oh, I feel lonely.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Like and not because of the job. No, or were
they because of the job? Okay?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No, no, no, no, I felt lonely today. So nobody came
into my studio.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I didn't even know you were here. Nobody came there.
I sort of got I look back, I did't even
see you. And then when I walked out of the
studio I saw you standing, I said, what the fuck? Hello?
And I think Scotti felt bad because he came to
give me a hug, and also, why didn't you come
and tell us hello, I'm here? No one said hi
to me? Eh, so you will not do that. You
just sit there feeling lonely and I'm like, okay, I'm
(05:43):
just gonna scroll on. I feel like I just would
have kicked in the door and but like I'm here
and walked away.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Imagine about I would have loved it his eyes, You
would have loved it. Nate would have been like, okay,
And anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I appreciate women making their presence known. I appreciate it.
I want more of it. To answer that question, No,
to me, I do not feel lonely being a person
everybody feels connected with. I think that's actually like pretty cool.
I can see where this question was going. I also
think that, like it's really important with these jobs to
have a real life, to have a life completely outside
(06:16):
of what you do here, to have friends who could
give half a shit what you do, that don't care,
that ask you questions like wait, who is that who?
Like Brandon does not even know who Paul Rudd is
And that makes me laugh so hard. And I really
love it, by the way he said, and I quote, sorry,
I only know aless celebrities like David Spade. Okay, well, Brandon,
(06:41):
thank you so much for your time. I'm sorry I
could have accepted the like you don't know who Paul
Rudd is like, no problem, okay, but then to follow
it up with that diabolical statement, and then he found
like three friends to agree with him. So who looks
like the asshole on that me? Anyway, I appreciate that
I really like having like this whole life outside of this,
but this doesn't make sense to those people. I think
(07:03):
it's important to like keep yourself one foot in and
one foot out and like one it makes you really
appreciate this job and like the cool parks that we
get and how much fun we have getting to laugh
every day with people that you like. It's awesome, but
it is going to come to an end for all
of us. Yeah, if we're lucky, we have a say
in that. I don't think we're gonna be lucky. I
(07:23):
think that when you sign up to be an entertainment,
you sign up for a roller coaster and you don't
always know when you're getting off. So I don't feel
lonely in that way. And I try to explain to
people that the attention that we get here. While it
is so nice for people to say nice things to
us and you know, leave us sweet comments, and I
actually there are some dms you get every now and
(07:45):
then that really kind of stop you in your tracks.
You're like, oh my god, thank you so much. That's
so kind. Also on the opposite side, but this is
not it's not real life. It's not the people who
are going to show up when you get a horrible
phone call in the middle of the night because you
lost somebody. That's the real stuff. Like, that's the stuff
that I value a lot, is those people that I
(08:06):
can pick up and call them and say, hey, I
got this horrible phone call and I don't want to
be by myself, and they will show up. That's real
to me. So because you have that, I don't. This
job doesn't make me feel lonely, like I'm not connecting
with people. And I think we're pretty real as far
as who we are in real life versus who we
are on the air. Granted, I've been told there's a
(08:28):
bunch of things I can't say, but catch me in
the street and we'll talk about it outside of that.
You know, you're a funny person. You know what I'm
talking about. You all know what I'm talking about. Just
have a feeling, all right, Oh, this is an interesting one.
(08:49):
What is something you wish people understood about how the
show affects your personal life. It's a solid question, so
while you think of it, Yeah, I'll answer okay, because
I've been trying to do this thing where like I
go first so that I don't make people like I
don't put people on the spot without having like some
(09:09):
sort of guidance for them. I'm trying. I'm trying. So
I would say, if I am out nine to ten
pm at night on a week night, I just really
want to be appreciated for that. Oh yeah, because we
wake up, As Diamond previously said, the time we wake
(09:29):
up starts with a three, so that is not glorious.
And at best, if I'm out at ten pm, I
might get three hours of sleep. Because by the time
you go home, unwind, get yourself ready for the next morning,
and actually are able to sleep, you're looking at like midnight.
So that definitely like the toll on our social lives
in some way. I kind of wish people to understand
(09:50):
that because I have so many two nobody do that anymore.
Like I've done it a few times, but it's not
something I want to do all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's not something I want special occasion fuck that invite
me out I'm not going how about that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I know that about you, but I still invite you out. Yeah,
thank you, You're welcome. And then the other thing is
I kind of wish that our significant others, whoever they are,
because I've dated multiple people while I've been on that air,
would understand that not everything we say on the air
needs to be taken so seriously and taken to heart.
(10:25):
And yes, I said that man was hot, that doesn't
mean I'm leaving here with him. I'm going to do something,
you know, Like, I wish that, And I understand it's
hard on the other side, but I'm like, do you
not know me? Yeah, I've been fucking around all the time.
I just say stuff to mess around. It's not like
an attack on you. But I guess you know, I
(10:46):
haven't been on the other side of that, so I
don't know. But those are the things that I wish
people understood.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I wish that people would understand that I can't get
them tickets. I'm serious, Like I can't, Like I can't.
I can't.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You know, like you can't or you won't.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I can't, girl, I can't. Okay, I've tried, and I can't. No,
I can't yeah, like you know, it's just like it's
not something that I could do all the time. Like
I got you into a show once you want to
go again.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Also, well, you can't keep asking once I do it once,
I'm not going to keep asking. Oh you got people,
and I can't state where you sit either.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, that's I tell people that all the time. Just
because I'm getting you these tickets does not mean they're
going to be good. Oh do you remember the jingle
Ball fiasco from last year? Were you part of that?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Okay, so what happened once? I don't remember this at all.
It might have only been like a fire internally, like
in the studio. But I had asked for X amount
of tickets for jingle Ball, and then one of the
people canceled, like two days before. She said she wasn't
gonna be able to go. So I had this extra
pair of tickets. Apparently what I was supposed to have
(12:01):
done was give them back. I didn't know that. Nobody
told me that. I thought, once you give me these
tickets and my tickets, it's like, okay, this is part
of what we we get as perks for being on
this show and hosting this big event. But okay. So
we had a listener call in who really wanted to go,
and we had zero tickets left, and I was like,
oh wait, I actually have a pair that someone just
gave back and I gave them to the listener. Oh
(12:23):
my god, this shit hit the fan. I got email
after email from different people you're supposed to just close
that you didn't need to use them anymore, And this
caused a stir and I was like, no, I'm not
what if you gave them to me, why can't I
then do what I please with them? However? Not the
hell I'm trying to die on. So now I know
going forward, if I ask for tickets I can never
(12:44):
give a pair away on the air ever. Again, do
you know how stupid that sounds?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Stupid?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It was, yeah, like, oh, I'm sorry. So what if
I gave the tickets to said friend whoever I was
given them to, and they decided that they were going
to give the tickets to someone, right, what does that matter?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I mean they were acting like I sold the tickets.
I was like, I'm sorry, I served our listeners and
gave them something that they wanted. Like it was.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It was a debuckle imagine I didn't imagine listening to the.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Show, like, yeah, I got in trouble for that. Oh god,
so you want people to know that you can't get
them tickets? Is there something else about your personal life?
Does this impact like you personally with the dating game?
Or oh yeah, how does that feel?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Like? If you want me to be alive and live
and I did, then you shouldn't be upset that I'm
going to bed at eight o'clock. I think that people
underestimate the I'll say guys specifically because those are the.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
People that I've dated.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I don't know how women feel about this, but like
the amount of times that guys have said, oh yeah,
you really went to bed at eight o'clock?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Oh my god? Are done here? Because if I tell
you that I wake up at four and you think
that I fuck around with my.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Sleep the way that you probably do, then we're just
not on the same page because you just don't value
your sleep.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Also, you're also starting off from a place of not
trusting me, and this is going to be an ongoing issue.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
And then also I have an issue with people thinking
that I'm a liar, So I'm like, yeah, fuck you. Yeah,
I think I'm scared of you, Like you are you
sure you think that I'm gonna lie to you?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Okay? Great bye? Yeah, so yeah that that would be
a problem. Is I totally get it. And I'm just like, listen,
there is just this x amount of time. I have
a very cool job and I love it, and they
get great perks. We can share in the great perks together.
But like, I just need a little support sometimes and
some of the things that might be difficult for you,
because like I'll support the shit out of other people
(14:44):
and what they do. I really try to show up
and actually like be there and be a good buddy
and a good girlfriend and a good family member. But
every now and then, like support me back. Please.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Oh you know another thing, tell me specifically about this show. Yes,
I need people to understand that my vacation days.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Are decided for me. Yes.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
So if you are planning a girls trip and you
ask for my input, I'm going to ask that you
book it around or plan for it to be right.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's the only time you can go.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And I don't want to, Like I feel like in
group chats before, I've been like, well, can we do
it around my schedule? And people look at me like, oh, yeah,
let's do it around diamond schedule. But seriously, because well,
do you.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Want dime in there to go? Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I can't just take off a random Friday and Monday
like you guys can.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Right, It just doesn't work that way for me.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
We have a lot of really cool parks, and we
also have some very rigid things that we have to do.
My sister says she loves the fact that she knows
she can turn on the radio and know where I
am and what I'm doing and how I feel. That's hilarious,
I know. I mean, she will text me, she can
hear it in my voice if there's something wrong, if
I'm a little down, she hears it our six am
(15:55):
break when he says hi to everybody. If I don't
say hi the way she thinks I should be saying hi,
this bitch like, hey, are you okay? What's going on?
It's the best. It's like, it's the best. Having a
sister like that is the best ever, even though sometimes
I'm like, back off, I don't want to talk about
it at leash. Your sister listens. Oh she doesn't, Are
you kidding me? Hello?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No, Like listens to the show. Oh, my sister is
counting cheap right now. You know what, My sister doesn't
listen to this. She tries to lie about it too.
I caught her so many times. She's like, I'm just
a few episodes behind. I was like how many.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
She's like, I'm up episode thirteen. I said, bitch, we're
like ninety. Yeah. I even told her. I was like,
just do this for me. And if anyone listening could
tell their friends to do this same thing, you can
just hit play and not listen to the episode. Just
give me the download, give me the listen, like help
a girl out. My sister not into it, you know.
(16:45):
She said, if I want to know what's going on
in your life, I'll just talk to you. Oh you
can just tell me. I said, no, please, And then
I do have a couple very good friends who listen
and don't really say anything about it until something comes up,
and then they're like, oh shit, I heard blah blah.
Like when I was talking crap about my friend Solomon
and his Instagram page, shout out Sally, Hello, he listens.
(17:07):
That's a good friend. But also, yeah, watch your mouth
about me. Hey, you know, talk crap. About me on there.
I was like, oh, I forgot you. Listen, you do
it so quietly. I love you. By the way, Solomon
is single. If anyone's interested, He's one of the coolest
people in the entire world. I love him so much. Solomon.
I don't even know what his Instagram is or if
it's activated at the moment. He goes back and forth
(17:29):
all the time. That's what you know who he wants you. Hey, Sally,
I tried. That was me trying for diamond. I told
you I would.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You're sick.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You see like your type? I told you. Yeah, he
works out. He's shorter, he's like kind of cuddly, a
short king you do. But he's also like strong. So
I feel like that's a good yeah. And now I
have given Solomon the shout out that he's been looking
for forever. Buddy. Okay, oh, these are getting good? Do
(18:12):
you think? First of all, I'm gonna start with one question.
Do you think you're good at what you do? Sure? Okay,
So this is the follow up question. What's the moment
in your career when you realized, oh shit, I'm actually
good at this.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, I don't know, maybe that just tells me that
I'm not really good at what I do. I don't
really think there's anything like I'm doing a lot of
clerical work.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Okay whatever, this isn't clerical work. I think you're great
at this. Oh well, thank you, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I filled in for someone a few years ago, and
I think I did a pretty good job and I
liked doing it. And I remember leaving that day feeling like, oh,
this is cool, this is what I should be doing.
And apparently the people that I worked with like spoke
really highly of me from that one day.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, it's like, oh, okay, great, So I didn't know
what I was doing. Okay, great, yea, so I think,
and I don't want you to take this the wrong way. Yeah,
that's what a setup. I think you are way better
at the stuff you don't want to do and don't
think you're good at than the clerical work. I think
when you do overnights, we get a lot of really
positive feedback and the text messages. I'm sure you can
(19:30):
see those people love it. I think on this podcast
people love you. I think social media wise, whenever we're
like playing around, you are a super stuff. Oh thank you.
I think you're great at that stuff. I think the
clerical work is like a I know that's what you're
here to do, but that to me, if I were
to describe you, none of that would play into it.
Oh wow. Yeah. So I hope that when you see
(19:52):
some of those text messages, you're like, you know, what
this thing that I didn't sign up to do, but
I'm doing. I am pretty good at well. Thank you,
You're welcome, thank you made my day flips here. That's it,
that's all it took. Oh my god, just compliment the girl.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
What kind of life are you leading out here? For me?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I would say there hasn't been a moment where I'm like,
oh shit, I'm good at this. What there really hasn't been.
I think that a moment where I mean, it's so subjective, right,
Like what we do is I could come in and
feel like I put my all into it and it
didn't get received by anybody. You know, nobody clicked with it,
(20:34):
nobody connected. So I'm still trying to figure out what
actually lands with people and what doesn't. And I think
that's where then you start thinking about authenticity and I'm like,
I don't need to focus so much on what lands
with people. I just need to be who I am. Yeah,
but just being who I am, I wouldn't say that
that's a super talent, you know what I mean. I
don't think that it's like a oh shit, I'm good
(20:55):
at this. Yeah. I think this question, like.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Someone thinking that you're good at something, is subjective, right,
because yes, you could.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well with what we done. Yeah yeah with this.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, someone could listen and say, oh, I want more structure.
There's also someone who could listen and say there's too
much structure.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I welcome to the research meeting.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, like you're not talking enough about this or I
don't want you to talk about this at all.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Oh you're talking too much. Yeah, so I want more,
I want less, I want this. So I don't know,
like for us as personalities, I'm not really sure that
there's like a oh shit, I'm really good at this.
There have been moments where I've been like, damn, I
can't believe I'm doing this. So maybe those are kind
of like akin to that. I mean, getting this job,
I was like, what you were shocked? I was stunned. Well,
(21:43):
the way it all happened, I mean, I know we've
kind of talked about this before, but I just resigned
a contract in Boston. I had always been an executive
producer so Nate on our show, but I always had
a mic too, which I didn't realize that that wasn't
kind of how it's supposed to go. For the most part,
executive don't talk all the time and do stuff. So
(22:04):
I had just resigned a contract in Boston, and it
was dramatic over there. Everything about Boston was dramatic. The
person I worked for the process like all of it.
And then I got a call from someone here just asking, hey,
can you just shoot us a demo? And like your
resume were brushing up on everybody's audio. We want to
keep a bank blah blah. Said okay, sure, and I
(22:25):
sent some audio. But I also sent a very stupid
version of the audio because I was like, this is
just a they're just collecting stuff, so I'm not actually
gonna send something incredible. So I did a news report,
but I responded to myself in the news report, what
so it would be like? And another suspicious package was
(22:46):
found in downtown Boston. Can you believe that another suspicious
package that was the audio that I submitted? Right, So
I was like, this is I didn't think it was real.
I didn't think there was anything actually behind it. And
the the negotiations and the contract stuff in Boston had
been so atrocious that I was like, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna stay here. And then I got a call saying, hey,
(23:09):
we love it if you could just come in and
sit in on the show one day. And I still thought, Okay, sure,
I'm totally gonna go do it. And I'm so flattered
that they would even have me, but let's be real.
And then I came here, and then everything changed, and
then my life in Boston became horrible, and here we are.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Did you know leaving that day that like, did your
perception change like that specific day or did you like.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The day I sat in with the shop or did
you leave that day feeling like, eh, still well whatever.
I left that day and I thought, what a cool experience.
This has been the best. Someone is gonna love this job,
Like that's genuinely what I thought when I walked out.
And I remember just like standing in the street outside
our Tribeca studio and looking around New York City, cause
that's very like New York city, looking and thinking, Wow,
(23:55):
this is so cool. I can't believe that they even
had me come here and do this amazing. I just
left it there and that was to me, that's what
it was gonna be, and it wasn't gonna turn into
what it turned into. But I was super happy to
get this job. I remember exactly where I was when
I got it, sitting on the floor in my apartment,
and Elvis called me and he was like, hey, I
(24:16):
just want you to know you're the one we're coming for,
and I like fell down on the floor. I was like, well,
what he's like, There's just a lot of stuff we
have to work out, and there was, which is why
I actually got the job. I wonder if this is
too much behind the scenes, it can't be, I think.
So I got the job in June. They offered me
(24:36):
that job in June, and I did not come here
until September because there was some shit going on behind
the scenes and a project that I had been working
on over there, and like all kinds of stuff. But
it was that I would say, when it comes to
like a trying time in my life, that was one
of the harder, Like waking up every day and going
(24:57):
into an environment where but he was mad at me
was not fun. Now it's like a different environment where
everybody's mad at me, but like this is okay. You
are sick.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It was really like how did you do that?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Though? Going every day knowing that everyone's mad at you
and still having to show up.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I just was like, I have a job, and I
had an obligation that thing in September that I had
promised people I was going to see through until the end.
And I was like, I will stick to my word,
and this is a test, and if you can get
through this, you're gonna be fine. Everything will be okay.
I and I need you to process this because you
know me. Yeah. Have you ever seen me walk out
(25:41):
of a studio and cry?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Never, It happened often during those months.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yeah, oh you're better than me. I would have said,
I'm taking a sabbatical for the summer.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
By It was tough, man, It was really rough because
the guy that I was leaving did not want me
to go, but he did zero things to make me
want to stay. He just made me want to leave
so much faster. But it was like every day was
you're a trader, You're a backstabber, You're a climber on
the air and off the air. He would say these things,
and then I would have to just smile and nod
(26:10):
and like try and give everybody the prep that they wanted,
and keep editing things and just like huh. And there
were days where I'd walk out of that studio and
go around the corner into our theater and just cry
and then wipe my face off, fix my makeup and
go back in. It's like here we go, keep it going, Yeah, sabbatical.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I would have given them something to talk about on
the air. All the listeners would have been like.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
The F bomb two without the dumps? Yes? Yes, did
you hear that?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
She's Well, that just shows you that you are good
at what you do. You should have walked away from
that situation feeling like I am because it's like that
doesn't make me cable to do it and still at
least be professional, at the very least you're good at
being professional.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Well, the only thing I thought during that time, every
now and then, between the tears and the like high
blood pressure and my hair falling out, me running like
four miles a day, I used to sit there and
be like, huh, the boys are fighting over me. No, No,
there's all they want to be. No, But I still yeah,
(27:16):
I think it's it's a I think with these jobs,
if you ever get to the point where like, oh shit,
I'm so good at this, that's sort of like the
beginning of a downfall maybe, or maybe that's just me
like making it normal to talk shit to myself. Oh god, Anyway,
that was a long answer for that question. Oh, this
(27:37):
is a good one. Who on the team surprises you
the most when the mics are off? Who on the
team surprises me the most the mics actually go on.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I feel like when when Nate is on the air,
like I know, he's more of like his MIC's not
usually on while you got are in the room talking
on air, you Elvis and Daniel, right, But when he
does talk on the air, it's like, well, did you
know and and on this day eight hundred years ago,
this person you.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Know, like your favorite history teacher.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Then when we're.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Off the air, sometimes when we're in the little bullpen
after the show and he's just like pretending not to
hear us. I don't think that he's actually as stuff
as he is but he'll like just randomly jump into
conversations and actually give his insight on like personal things
that make you like, I'm like, oh, you are humans
(28:39):
and like you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Sometimes he makes a comment and you're like, girl, what,
I'm like you, Hey, don't talk shit about the Midwest.
There's plenty of plenty of blue areas out there. You
guys scare me. But yeah, like he'll surprise you. And
like a lot of the times.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
His advice is actually really good advice. Yes, and it's
from like lived experience too, so you appreciate it more.
I like it.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I like that it's better than just like.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
And Pearl Harbor was today with like a high pitch
voice even though it's really really dark.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Day. Like Okay, who I'm trying to think of who
would surprise me? So, like, who is different off the
air than they are on the air? Nate, definitely, that's
a good one. Nate's good. But I almost still your answer.
I don't know. I kind of feel like everyone is
pretty true to themselves on the air. You don't surprise
(29:38):
me because I know you. Yeah, I would say, I
know because you're doing this podcast. So no, I was
gonna say off the air you're you have much more
like firm opinions on things, and you're less like a
yes ten out of ten, Like you're less like that
off the air than you are on the air. But
I don't know, I mean off the air, off air,
(30:00):
I'm gonna have to go with Nate too, for the
same reasons. I'm a cop out. Sorry, but that was good.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think that that is the answer, though, like nobody knows.
Maybe No, I don't think.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
There's anyone who would really shock you no, with like
things that they would say or do off the air.
I would And this is probably overhyping me and overseelling me.
I think I am probably more professional than people would think.
I yes, yeah, but that's me again overhyping myself, like
overselling myself. But I do think that that might surprise people. Yeah,
(30:32):
I wonder if, like.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No, I was gonna say, there are some things that
Elvis has said off the air that shocked and surprised me.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
But it's not it's nothing like we all know he's crazy.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Like say things and I'm like, huh, you knows, like
there's a shock value to some of the things that
he says off the air. But I think that But
you're not shocked by it because of.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
His personality on the air. It's the same thing, yeah,
just like yeah, like gosh can be shocking, yes, but
that's not surprising to us. He's also just not really
on the air a ton. But some of the things
he says, I'm like, oh, all right, oh oh. And
you know what else I think. I think this label
of menace, which I came up with, by the way,
(31:16):
for other people, and somehow it became mind. I reject
that narrative. I think that a lot of the things
that people think are like menacing or me just saying
that's not what happened. Let's talk about what actually happened.
And suddenly we're a menace. Why this is not the
place to keep the ear thoughts to yourself.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Literally, walk by Andrew's desk and knock shit over.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
That's menacing. You like love it? And I love it too.
That is not untrue, you know, it's not untrue. I
do do that to Andrew, but I don't do it
to everyone else. The squirt bottle menacing, that's from my hair.
I loved it. I love it. People need to be
kept in check, and I don't know how else to
(32:02):
do it around here. Nobody wants to implement the studio
taser that I've been really asking for for a long time.
And I know that every now and then that studio
taser would come at me. You're a lunatic. Yeah, I
just don't think I'm as troublesome as people like to
paint me. But it's okay. We all have our we
all have our cross to bear, and now we need
(32:24):
to Okay. Is there a bit or a segment that
you regret ever doing or being part of. I'm a start.
There are not a ton of things I regret being
part of. There are a ton of things I wish
(32:44):
I would have said. Does that make sense? Uh? I guess,
like around certain political events or just you know, in general,
certain things when it comes to celebrity, that we don't
just call someone an asshole? Who is an asshole? Because
we're trying to like play both sides and be nice
(33:06):
and you know, you never know where someone's coming from.
I think sometimes people are just assholes.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, And I think to say that it's okay to
call them out, and even if they didn't mean to
be an asshole, maybe you saying that will make them
realize that yeah, they did come off that way, but
some people are really assholes, so I get it.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
There are times that I wish, but I just don't
want to, like fight with people in the room specifically,
not that it would be a fight, because none of
us are like really contentious toward each other like that,
But there are times where someone will say something and
I wholeheartedly disagree with it, and I wish that I
would say I disagree with that, because I've let things
go for a while and then said something, and then
we've gotten an outpouring of like, yes, I feel the
same way, Oh my gosh, thank you for saying something.
(33:46):
And then I think, okay, well, if I feel this way,
other people probably do too, so maybe I should say it.
You know, Like January sixth was one hundred percent of
terrorist attack. It was a terror attack on homegrown soil.
It was a homegrown terror attack in America, and it
was never addressed that way or talked about that way,
and I wish in retrospect that the reporting would have
(34:07):
been that way. And I don't think that that's something
people can say is politically motivated in one direction or another,
because it doesn't matter who those people were or what
they looked like. The act was the same thing, yep,
and it was terror. So I think things like that,
I regret, Hm, why are you smiling like that and
not saying anything, because I thought I completely agree. But
(34:32):
I think that like.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
That time was such a fuzzy time for me honestly
that I don't really remember.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Me were you on drugs? They don't like it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I've never told you this that like at like that
week that January sixth happened, I was reading a book
called Small Great Things by Jody Pecolt, which I think
is like one of the best books ever written, okay,
and it was about like a black nurse and a
white supremacist couple who needed her help delivering their baby
(35:10):
who was about to die. And it just was really
it fucked me up. And then so like as I'm
reading and I look up and seeing it in a
showing these people running into it was insane.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
So that whole attacking the police, it was horrifying to me.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
It was like, Okay, this is in a book and
it's not real, but this is real on the TV screen.
So a lot of like what was going on at
least in our personal lives or like behind the scenes
of the show around the town.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I don't remember it. Okay, Oh wow, what a trauma response.
Oh yeah, okay. I just think like we all saw
the footage, we all saw what happened. I think you
make those people a different color. It would have been
reported differently, but it's all the same thing. And it's
just little things like that. I think that I don't
know if I can even say I regret it, because
(35:57):
you know, we have like directives on how you're supposed
to things. So I was doing what I was supposed
to do, but in retrospect, it's like, well, that was
not the right thing to do. That wasn't the right
way to report it. Yeah, so that gets tough. Sometimes
I will say, doing the news, I do not my jam. No,
I love it. I like you know me, I'm like
(36:18):
a big newshead. I like news. I love the news.
But it is a sticky, tricky line to walk here. Yeah,
it really is. I would be given opinion, Well you can't,
you can't dimond no opinions. I can't do it. Okay,
this one's interesting. Is there a part of yourself you
intentionally hide because it doesn't fit the morning show tone? No?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
No part of you. No, I just don't like, you
can't switch. I colde switch.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
But that's that's not hiding something because we're not talking
to you like that.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
But yeah, and then also like I think we all
colde switch depending on who were in specific conversations for sure,
you know, so I do so, No, and I've always
done that. That's not like that's just so.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
It's a sign of intelligence. Oh well things, Yeah, I
mean I didn't come up with that, that's what they say.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I I've always been a very secretive person about like
certain personal things. So I guess maybe if I wasn't
always that way, i'd say, maybe like me not talking
about like who I'm dating and what I'm doing, like
maybe I would.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Be considered something that I would.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
But like I've always been that way anyway, So it
doesn't really feel like it's anything to me.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay, yeah, I get that. I would say kind of
the same, like, there are a lot of nuances with
Brendan and my relationship that I don't talk about on
the show because one I've sort of mentioned it here before.
I'm not trying to answer a million questions, and I
don't want one of my parents' friends to run to
(37:51):
them and be like did you hear that? And then
my parents are like completely gonna twist whatever was said
and it's going to turn out to be something crazy.
So well, I think that like certain again nuances of
my relationship with him and his whole life. Yeah, I
kind of keep that stuff a little closer to the vest,
but it's nothing overwhelmingly crazy. Like I don't think if
(38:14):
someone were to write a tell all book about me,
I wouldn't be scared. I don't think there's a lot
of like secrets.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Well you should, no, I'm kidding, polease, but I think
that you're conditioned with uh, your conditioned to live that
way or speak how you do on the air because
of just the way that the show is.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I remember, like my first week the.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Show, they're like, uh, I don't know, they were putting
me on the air for something, and they were like
rule number one, don't ever say anything that you don't
want to be on the air, and so or like
around people, even if the MIC's are all ah oh
and so so from that point forward, it was just like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I can't trust these people. Tell you guys, I feel
like every body does that and a lot of people
are are.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Just so willing to offer a personal shit because we're
going to talk about it amongst each other.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Anyway. I think a lot of people offer a personal
shit that might not even be true just to get
people to talk about it. I am doing the opposite. Yeah,
I'm like, I don't know who you're talking about. What's
(39:30):
the kind of humor you love that doesn't make it
to the air. I can't even talk about it my Instagram,
you know, because I send stuff to you. My Instagram
algorithm has fucked me. You laugh at one thing one time,
you send it to one person, and then all of
a sudden you're getting the worst things ever and still chuckling.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Well, also, I could talk about this, yeah, just the
state of politics that we're in right now, I think
is something that is to me, like I've removed my
a lot of my emotion from it and can laugh, right,
But we can't laugh about it on the air.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
But it's Donald Trump falling asleep while doctor Oz was
talking about people using losing billions of pounds or however
much it was, and then the guy passing out whilst
RFK fled. It's the funniest shit, like and Donald Trump's
like slowly coming to.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
People are like why is he just standing there? Because
he was literally in seconds before.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
What are you talking about? Listen? Politics aside? Right, like
take out any if Joe Biden did that, I would
have died laughing. He did plenty of weird stuff, for sure.
The meme of him turning around and smiling as he's
walking off the stage like diabolically. That shit's hilarious. I
don't you have to laugh at these things? But everyone
just actually it didn't happen. You know which one I'm
(40:47):
talking about, right, No, I do, But it made me think.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
This clip of the woman who ran for governor of
Virginia she lost when some is it whin some newsome
or something like that, she's name. She was given a
speech and she decided that she was gonna mock Kamala
Harris's I am speaking, I am speaking, and she did
it in such a tone that was like just fucking hilarious,
(41:12):
to the point where like I sent it to Andrew
and I was like, this is my new meme. If
I say I am speaking, I want you to know
that I'm saying in this tone. But I wish that
we could like laugh about shit like that on the
air because it's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Whin some earl sears, Okay, yeah, it is hilarious. Like
we all just need to be able to laugh about
stuff without someone calling you something crazy, Like there's just
shit that's really fucking funny right now, huh Hilary, Yes, yes,
and I appreciate it. It'll laugh to keep yourself from crying.
So it's like, hey, you know, what do you want
to do?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
You know?
Speaker 1 (41:43):
My favorite meme right now that I will be sending
people is when I send you this, No, I'm saying
it like this, I'm turned nice. I'm turnnice, ma'am. If
you didn't say love is blind the last season you have,
no I know what we're talking about. Edmund was insane.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
They should be se for having that man on the
on that show.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
No, okay, No, I don't like that one. Okay, I
think I think maybe I'll ask like one or two
more because time look at that. We could just talk forever. Hmmmm. No,
I don't like that one. Don't like that one. I
don't like that one. I split these up into spicier Oh,
(42:35):
I don't think you're gonna answer this. I don't even
know if we have answers. But who's the guest everyone
pretends to love but you secretly cannot stand. I can't stand. Yeah,
I don't know. Why are you living? I think of
like ten people, but I yeah, I mean because here's
(42:55):
while you think I'll say this. I've worked at other
stations before I came here, so I saw certain celebrities
in a smaller market and how they acted toward the
people in the smaller market. And they're not all sunshines
and rainbows and unicorns and shit that they are when
they walk in here because it's Elvis and you have
(43:16):
this massive platform with ten million people who are listening.
So now all of a sudden, they're like the nicest
person ever. And the whole show is like, oh my god,
I love that. There's not nice And I just sit
there and I'm like, the fuck they are? Oh I know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
J Lo j Loo was in fact very mean to
our man, Andrew was She was rude to him and
saw a couple of things she wasn't very nice about.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Yeah, I'm trying to There are probably one hundred more.
There are so many who I absolutely fucking love Lee.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Oh I love Lee Lee Straker is awesome. I think
he needs to call in at least once a week.
I know he can't do it on the phone, you
know how much what.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
I'm sorry, but just seeing the way that he like
shits on Elvis, who is so funny to me because.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
I feel like it's mutual, yes, shitting.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
And it's like but like I feel like a lot
of the times, like Elvis will say something to someone
and like they don't really have a response.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
He always has a response. I live for its hilarious,
my queen, I do. I love the like snarky people
that we kind of are like friends of the show.
Like Bobby Flay makes me laugh too. He makes me
chuckle when he comes in. Who else? I mean, I
just all of a sudden this turned into who we love?
I would say j Lo is the one. Yeah, but
(44:27):
also and to be fair, maybe she was just having
a couple off days on the times that we've encountered her.
I'm gonna livesty just a few. I'm gonna leave space
for that because you never know. But yeah, I'm trying
to I The thing is, even though I said, ask
me anything, I'm gonna try to answer. I cannot say
some of the people that I want to say because
(44:47):
I know that they're friends of the show and they
will be coming back. Oh, I can't say those say it.
I'll bleep it. I hate him down, hate him down.
I think you can say that. I don't. They'll be
coming back. Okay, I will say, and I'm gonna believe
this one too. Is very nice to Elvis, Danielle and
(45:10):
me and no one else. Oh, she barely speaks when
apparently just ignores everybody, doesn't talk to them. I can't
say her because I haven't witnessed it, but I know
what everybody else says when she's in, So I mean,
you gotta you gotta take that with some sort of
(45:31):
credibility if everybody says it. But she's always been so
kind to me, Elvis and Danielle that I'm like, well,
is that true? I will leave Spaceport again.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
I think this is I think this is a very
I can't answer the way that I would want someone
listening to the like if I was a listener, I
will want more of like a hardcore answer from Diamond.
But I don't. I don't hear a lot of the
interviews going on that's number one and number too. I'm
(46:01):
not like camping out to meet them in front of
the dressing room. I'm honestly thinking of like, Okay, well,
when are you guys going to leave? So I could
go back in there and take a nap, or like
don't leave it a fucking mess because I sleep there,
like you.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Know, yeah, like okay, can you say this? Who's left?
Speaker 2 (46:16):
It?
Speaker 1 (46:16):
The biggest mess that after they exited, you were like,
damn it, now I gotta clean all this up because
I want to take anap in here.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
There was someone I can't remember though they left, and
it was someone I liked.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
I'll say this post jingle ball like two years ago.
Oh dough chich oh oh you heard this? Did you
see it? Oh my god? It was a fucking mess. Yeah,
and all it looks like a partial murder scenes ridiculous
because there was like hair all over the place, like
pieces of hair, but also you could tell that she
had just dyed it because there was also like this
bright red stain places, and it looked like someone came
(46:52):
in through a party and then killed another person yeah
and left, And we walked in there.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
Like yeah, yeah, wow, Yeah, I didn't appreciate that. I
just felt like it was nasty.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
It was very nasty. I don't know if it was
her or her team, but whatever happened in that room
was atrocious. Yeah. It was so bad. Yeah yeah yeah.
So have you felt about these asking anythings? There's so
many more that I've logged. Oh, pretty great? Okay. Do
you think that we've talked long enough? Should we do more?
We can? Like, we have time, right, we do? Okay?
(47:24):
Who is a coworker that you would trust to bury
a body? And who would immediately fold under questioning? Scotty
would immediately fold under questioning, immediately immediately. I think Garrett
would immediately fold under questioning. Huh, Okay, I don't know.
Or I think Garrett would like inadvertently out himself trying
(47:46):
to like cover it up with something. I don't think he.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
I think he would try to take it to the grave.
But he'd given five minutes after someone asked him a question.
It would be like he walked away thinking that he
got away with it. He would turn back, give like
a gotcha moment.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
To the person and they'd be like, I feel like
he's the person, Like if he stole a wallet and
they were like there was eight hundred dollars in there,
and he'd be like, I didn't steal a wallet. Also,
there were only thirty dollars in there, right, dude? Yes,
I think Elvis would fold under questioning.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
Maybe, But yeah, he's the person I would want to
bury the body with because he had the funds to
clean it all up. If somebody clean it up and
pay the person who cleaned it up to never tell.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
He might have a fixer. What do we know, I
wouldn't be shocked. Okay, take finances out of it, damn
I know, even though I guess that is pretty significant. Yeah,
I kinda not to like completely play into the stereotype.
Maybe Nate. Yes, I might think Nate would bury the
body and then shut up about it and just do
what he needs to do. You know who? You know who?
Speaker 2 (48:46):
I can't believe I'm thinking who. I'm leaving you out
of it, Okay, scary because I feel like he's so disassociated.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
They forget immediately. Yeah, if it didn't have to do
with him and he didn't take a picture, you know,
it wasn't on Instagram, but I don't remembered, like and
people even if he was lying, people will believe him,
because that's literally who he is. So maybe scary and Nate, yeah,
I think scary and Nate, I would I would trust
I think I would trust you. I am I'm leaving
you out of this. I think I would trust you
(49:19):
therein it ends. Maybe not even that. I think everyone
else would dine you out on purpose. I just think
some people are like so innocent that it would accidentally
come out.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Like Daniel would be I remember what, oh yeah, oh yeah,
and remember when what like or like the next day
You're just trying to be be normal, and Elvis w'd
be like, what did you guys do last night?
Speaker 1 (49:40):
And she'd be like, gandhi, we can't talk about it,
but you know what we did last night? Like shut up,
shut up. She's too innocent, she's so nice. I don't
know if we have any of these. But what's the
Oh no, I have one. What's what's the wildest rumor
you've heard about yourself that was so wrong it was
(50:02):
almost flattering. I haven't heard of any. I was told
repeatedly that I am the reason that people here got fired,
which is hilarious because one, I wish I had that power,
and two, none of the people got fired, So it
was like, oh, what an interesting concoction you guys have
(50:26):
created here of like pieces of information, but also like
why why would I be the person who would one
do that or had anything to benefit from doing something
like that? And again I don't have that power and
I wouldn't play that game.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
No, thank you uninterested kind of think, No, I haven't
heard anything, thankfully.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
I stay out of the places where the rumors are
really swirling, so there could be something more atrocious out there.
Do you ever visit the places where the rumors swirl?
Speaker 2 (50:56):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (50:56):
Sometimes? Yeah? Do you ever comment? Never to comment? That
is some low down shit? Well, I will say that
is how you know that I don't hang out in
these places, because I really think I would say something
like I don't think I'd be able to not say
something if it was so far off bas like, where
did you hear this information? What else did I do?
This is amazing. I hope people were in their commenting
(51:19):
as themselves or maybe it's a.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Different place you're thinking another place, Oh okay, because I.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Had people are in there commenting as themselves. Yeah, sure,
and it's just like it's just like okay, was it
like a nice place. I don't know. Tell me no more.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
