Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast.
Firm Presents show fifteen minutes exactly, and if we're in
the middle of a thought, the time just runs out
and that's it. Why does that happen? I can't be
like the sixteen and a half minute because Elvis, the
(00:25):
way he designed it, he designed this, like this music
we're playing right now to be fifteen minutes long exactly.
It goes away and then once it comes back and
you hear that trailing, it does it automatically. So if
you want to, I need to correct for a second,
because sometimes sometimes that's right. No, No, sometimes it's a
few extra seconds because we have to make an edit,
(00:46):
or it's a few seconds short. Because so this, I
know people are gonna text and tweet this one. Here
it's fourteen fifty three. You know you just did. You
just broke the fourth wall. Now people are gonna know
and it's the next time it's fourteen thirty three, they're
gonna be like, why did you cut out? I'm saving
them the trouble of letting us know that it's not
always fifteen. We know that speaking of breaking the fourth wall,
(01:06):
someone had a great idea. You know, there's a secret
fifteen minute morning show podcast Facebook group. I found it
the other day, so, well, it's on there. You can
only get in by answering secret questions. Apparently, uh they
had the idea of just as the entire Late Night
show reads mean tweets like Kimmel does mean tweets with celebrities,
(01:27):
they want to see the text that Elvis blocks and
reads those which could be interesting. I think the problem
is once we block them, they're gone. We don't see
them anymore. But no, if we go on the if
they go on the block list. But but let's going forward,
going forward before we block, because to be honest, some
of them are They're not funny in the way that
(01:48):
Jimmy Kimmels are funny. They're just dick text messages. Well,
but that's the thing. I can always tell when they're
about me, because they'll be like, block that asshole, and
I'm like, what happened? Would they say? They're like something?
Someone's best thing is we don't have to protect you
don't because you don't you don't care, which awesome. I
don't care the text messages about her. Laugh. Sometimes I
lean over and he tries to like turn his screen
(02:09):
I'm like, No, I thought the best think they have
problems with themselves and that you know, if they're not
happy with themselves. No, I don't think. I think that's
a catchphrase people use. They're just not happy with themselves. No,
they're assholes. We could say that ifholes aren't happy. No,
but some No, No, I know some. Yeah, I know
anyone I'm near. You actually think that if something, if
(02:29):
somebody see I think too much of people. I think
because I honestly don't think if if you didn't have
something negative going on in your life, or you weren't
dealing with something, you wouldn't treat other people that way,
Like you wouldn't be an asshole to other people. Like
I really believe that they believe that too. Yeah, Like
I don't believe. I believe most people are good, like
I don't. I think they're happy. I think there are
(02:50):
people that are happy. They're just assholes. I think there's
people in big holmes with nice cars who also happen
to be assholes. I don't think car makes you happy.
I'm not. How do you get at I said you
would feel great? Right, I'm only an asshole around here
when I just feel that I'm being surrounded by other assholes.
I wasn't applying. I wasn't the assholeum, and I try
(03:13):
to be. I just made that up. I try to
be an asshole at the same time because I still can't.
I still don't figure. I don't think that you guys
really realized sometimes that we're all really normal people outside
of this place. That's why I realized that inside. Okay,
we're back to the he's not Gregg tea when he's
not on the air, the rest of us that like,
(03:34):
I'm nobody was talking about that as I am off,
and nobody was talking about two different great teas. Garrett,
do you feel like some people can be assholes even
though they're happy people. I take it for that anybody
could be having a bad day at any given time,
so I give I give people the benefit of the
doubt first, and then if they are in a whole
the second time around, then I just take it out.
(03:55):
But they could be happy people, correct, they could have kids,
hot wife, And I know this is not political correct,
I hate we don't talk about race or religion. He is.
I'm not talking. I'm not going no, but I'm being
honest here. I was in Atlantic City once and this
guy was screaming and yelling. He was yelling at his
wife and he was in a wheelchair. That guy's an
(04:16):
asshole even though he's in a wheelchair. I'm like, but
then I'm like, I felt bad because I'm like, oh
my god, I just there's no wheelchair pass to be
an ass That's what I'm saying. But do people and
wheel just get a pass to be a But he's
a happy person is really the topic? No, but this
guy really was. But I'm like, but wait, he was happy.
He couldn't be can't be one because he's sitting in
(04:38):
a wheelchair. Who understands this analysis? Where did you go this?
We got a full room, so yeah, didn't you do? Everybody,
let's go around starting. You know, by the way, Garrett,
your guest at sitting here is wondering like, oh my god,
why are they seeing the word asshole at nauseam? And
nobody's catching it? Well he doesn't, he doesn't on his
own podcast. So Gary Jones, of course we got gone
(05:00):
the brody, Greg T, myself, our friend Angelo Blando. Correct, Blando,
that's how you say it. Correct. This is like a
good volume. Or should Angelo is our resident sneaker head
that that has hooked some of us up on the
morning show. You might have heard Elvis looking for a
sneaker a few weeks ago. He found it for him.
He has his own podcast on iTunes, Kicks and Giggles,
(05:23):
which is hilarious. Uh, and he's getting into the podcast
game with sneakers as well. We're talking about the size
twelve Danielle of course, and our brand new addition to
the show, Diamond as well. So for first podcast, he's
still perky and upbeat. I know you haven't ruined you yet. No,
it's gonna take a lot. Well, you're a happy person, oh,
(05:44):
without a doubt. Um, But in my head comments on
people's see I would never, like, you have to be
a real loser to like comment things. Would you text
in a shitty comment? Okay, I'd maybe like say it
in my head, or like if I'm with a friend
looking you know, but likely break up with guy if
I saw him leaving ship. Comments on a random celebrities,
(06:05):
of course, I want to have you want I want
followed friends that I didn't realize we're that way, Like
I saw them comments something really ridiculous on someone's page
and I go, oh my gosh, I can't even believe.
And I have followed that together and believe it. You
can't say it to my face, then you shouldn't be saying, yeah,
I hate that shirt Angel. What I was gonna say.
(06:27):
I think that if you just are an asshole to
like everyone, and everyone thinks that you're an asshole, then
that way, when you're nice, it's like really like set
the bar low, you know what I mean, try to
be super nice and then you have to live up
to the standard. Well I try to not be like
like I do you think I'm an asshole? Okay, so
(06:47):
that's then you guys are like left with like, oh,
he's a really nice kid with low expectations. Right, you
could like you saw my nails painting, you could have
this kid's an asshole. You know, I actually noticed you adorable,
great nails and also really good eyebrows, noticed those two
hair and everything. You're fabulous. I think that's well. On
my podcast, that's I keep it very real. What's your
(07:08):
podcast name? It's called Kicks and Giggles, so kicks not search,
and it's end giggles. Um. It was originally started up
to try to be about like what it's like selling
sneakers to celebrities and like being this shoe plug and
then also trying to mix that in with my comedy,
and it just became like I love talking about random topics.
(07:29):
I'd like to give my opinion. So I just it's
like just comedy now, and I kind of washed out
the sneaker part. But I'm starting another podcast coming up
within the next two weeks that's going to be like
it'll be two separate ones, So one will be comedy,
one will be sneakers. It was way too hard to
mixing together. How did you get into the whole sneaker thing? Um,
So I was fourteen or fifteen years old. I've always
(07:51):
cared about how I dressed. That's like always been my thing. Um,
like more of a feminine guy. I'm not really the
alpha male type of like workout shame, you know what
I mean? So what is that, he goes, I'm feminine.
(08:19):
I've always cared about how I dressed, and I've always
been in sales. When I was like, I don't know,
eleven years old, I was selling suckers on the bus
and like grade school in seventh grade, I ordered six
fifty of them and sold him within like a year. Um.
And then I started selling phones and clothes whatever I
could get my hands on. It wasn't drugs, um, I
would just sell like clothes. And then it got two
(08:39):
shoes and people were waiting out a lot, like in
line that went to my school like for shoes, and
I was like what, Like, what's going on? So I
looked a little bit into it more. And then I
actually bought my dad a pair of sneakers and he like,
I just wasn't a fan of him. They didn't fit him.
So then I sold him on eBay and I was like,
holy sh it, I can make money from this and
one thing I do another. And now I've been like
(09:00):
trying to contact like celebrities, people that I look up to,
and you know, christ' Leio was one of the first
guys I got that. He messaged me back and he
was like in love with it. He was a huge
sneaker himself. So it's just trying to grow my business
and grow like expand could you walk us through that thought? Yeah,
let's use Elvis's uh, because like what do you do?
(09:24):
You just buy a pair of sneakers and then you designed.
How do you touched them through Elvis's pair? He wanted
the purple Nike Lobsters that came out about a month ago, right, so,
and everybody was lined up a day in advance to
be one of the first to get them to either
collect them or flip them online and make some money off.
How do you not wait online, get them and get
them in em to flip. Okay, So with Elvis's and
(09:49):
like specific um he posted a picture of these shoes,
the purple Lobsters that he really wanted. And Garrett, which
is my great friend I've known, um, he messaged me
and said, like, we gotta get these like he needs them.
You're the shoe guy, let's make it happen. So the
process is just like I have so many people that
have been working with like boutiques in Chicago, resellers in Chicago,
collectors in Chicago, and all over the world. Really that's
(10:11):
like New York l A. Everything. Um. I have all
these people that I just just like one call away
and if I need a pair of shoes, I can
get them. Most of the time, I pre order them.
So like a shoe that's coming out, there's an Airmax
nineties that's with off white. It's a Nike off white shoe. Yeah,
I have like fifteen pre orders, Like I have fifteen
pairs coming out of the Black in the Desert Tans.
So like most pairs, I just been prepared for, um,
(10:34):
like my connections already have my pairs reserved. The people
that you now have on you know, like one call
away as you say, and then they just give you
the shoes. Yeah, I mean I mean I buy them, Yeah,
but I buy them for uh my fair estimate of
(10:59):
what market will then how much will you sell them for?
What market will be? So it's like, so let's say
there's a pair of sneaks you pay two, what can
you turn them around for? Well, with a shoe like
a Easy V two or something that Kanye has got
his name next to, usually the market's pretty there's always
(11:20):
a high demand with Kanye stuff until it's like they
start rereleasing them and they keep releasing the same pair
because it's killed the demand. Right. So when it's an
early like a shoe that's about to come out that
Kanye's names next to that has never released before, usually
they're like four or five bucks. Especially yeasies they used
to be way more when it was Nike, but Adidas
Easy as like the rest at like four average, So
(11:42):
retailing those is two twenty. And I know in the
back of my head, like depending on the color way,
if it's a black color way, they're going for more money.
If it's white or cream colored, we're sick of those.
So it's like yeah, So it's like I know that
if it's a black easy I can predict like, Okay,
these are probably gonna go for four orive bucks. So
retail is to twenty. I want to get my hands
(12:03):
on twenty pairs, I'll pay like three three twenty or
something around there. So my guys make money that I'm
buying them from. And how do those people get him
at two twenty? Those are like the people that have
accounts with Adidas themselves. So like if I had my
own store that was like Angelo's Sneaker Shop, and I
had a deal with um Adidas where I can get
(12:23):
like X amount of releases every year and I'm wholesaling
buying a hund or two hundred pairs, that's how you're
getting like the actual like retail costs store needed there.
I have a question to listen here, my nephew. I'm
showing him a picture from his phone the holidays. He
wanted me to design sneakers Nike, I d I want Yeah,
(12:46):
that's right, Yeah, I do sign this sneaker. Tell me
what you think? What do you think about that one?
It's what this is a Kobe? Like these kobes. I'm
the sneaker guy. They kind of look like a little bit.
I made that one. And then if you go to
the next picture, that's the bottom of it. Look at
(13:08):
that's kind of cool. Yeah, got the swirl. This is
a radio podcast and blacks were numbers one or three?
And then how was this entertained anyone? Listen? I have
a question that I want to know. What do you
think about that put a price on him? Hundred sixty bucks?
That's what I paid for them. That can we get
(13:34):
back to the other topic just for a second. I'm curious, Diamond,
because you seem really nice, but you said you think
things sometimes in your head that what was the what
was the last time you thought someone was an asshole?
And what did they do? Like what set you off?
Even though you didn't say it out loud, I think
you haven't left. I want to shoot back because I
think we got awesome. What do you want to go
(13:57):
with that? By the way, can I just say one
thing because a minute left, thank each and every one
of you guys for having me on the show. I
didn't get to say it before, but this is like
a dream come true. I'm so excited to be here
and thank you guys, and absolutely and more asshole stuff.
This guy is great. I think I'm an ask but
I think he's nice. I don't want to talk pictures
(14:18):
of sneakers. You want to show my audio more before
we get out of here? Angelo, what's your Instagram? So
