The Elvis Duran After Party.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's the after Party podcast. Hi, y'all, y'all do it? So,
you know, years and years ago, we used to have
this event that we threw from time to time called
the meat Market way before you were here, Gandhi, long
long time ago, before you Nate actually, and so at
(00:37):
these meat markets get togethers, we would meet at Webster
Hall or some other huge place a venue in New
York City, and we would invite people to come to
meet other people, singles, single people, and of course, you know,
a couple of married creepers got in there. But we
always wondered, like god, those many years ago, did they
(00:57):
ever work? Did anyone ever meet anyone at our meat market?
We would play games and introduce people and it was
a very fun time. Well that was years ago. We
stopped doing them. The other day, Scary was on I
Think X and he saw a listener post his entrance
badge number on on social media from all those years ago.
(01:21):
His name is Joel. We got in touch with him.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
You want to meet him?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, here's Joel. Hi Joel welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
How are you, what's happening? How are we doing?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
We're doing okay, So this is wild. You came to
our meat market at Webster Hall, what twenty five years ago?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Oh yeah. It was a bunch of guys from Hoboken.
What to do tonight? And we will always listen to
you guys, and let's try this meat market thing out.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
So you show up with your you show up with
you your bros. And you put on your registration, your
tag with the big number. Do you remember what your
number was? What number were you?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Was?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Number eight fifty five. We were featured in the catalog
because it was a meat market, so they called the
catalog right, the cattle catalog.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It was like a description of you, right, like what
your likes?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Yeah, I believe, I believe you know. It was like
what your what your likes is a mountain biking and
cooking and some of our friends had some stuff. I
really can't say, but it was a fun time. It
was definitely cool.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It was like a pamphlet of tinder profiles.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah, basically all the women would get it when as
soon as they entered the meat market.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
That many people sometimes yeah, sometimes we had we do
it outside what was then known as South Street Seaport.
We did one there. That's where Scary yelled at the
guy would playing the game who was using his hands
and it wasn't supposed to and he started screaming, no hands,
no hands, and realized the guy had no hands. Remember anyway,
(02:51):
so Joel was there and uh, so the night starts going.
We're up on stage, you know, being everybody, but you
met someone? Did you meet Diane?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
So we were we were dancing and the guys just
hanging out. When I think they I spink people still
dance at clubs, but uh, back then, I was wearing
the tag and I believe Skeary and Greg and Covey
were giving away a trip to Hawaii and this blonde
girl walked up and he said, I want to go
to Hawaii. I said, I'll take you, and then we
just started dancing and that you know, at the end
of the night, we had we had a kiss goodbye,
(03:24):
and I just told her not to wait for three
days to call me.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, and then what happened?
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Tell us more keep going then. I was so drunk
then and I don't remember what you looked like. So
when she came to my apartment a hobok, and I
was praying that she was a good looking so, you know,
I looked over the stairs when she was coming up
to the second floor. I was like, oh, thank god, No.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
This is.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Good, this is good.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You gotta keep in mind, this happened. This happened twenty
five years ago. So what did you take Diane to Hawaii?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
We did go to Hawaii, Yeah, we did. We went
the islands and we had a great time and got married.
They have two beautiful children. Yeah, they were going on
a twenty three years of marriage in May.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
May. Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Wow, are the kids still living with you? You and
Diane still have the kids in the house? Are they done? Now?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
We have two dogs in the house that we are
empty nesters. I have a son born in the University
of Florida, he's a pater, and my daughters at Coastal Carolina.
So twenty year old.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Amazing, all because of our silly, our silly little meat market.
Look at that. That's awesome. There you go. So I
must assume that more people who met at these events
got together as well. You know, maybe maybe it didn't
turn out as happy as you guys, but that's that's crazy.
That's how long we've been around, guys A long time.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Yeah, what was the thing when people celebrating anniversaries on
T one hundred, would you always say and they never
had a fight, right, yeah, they never had a fight.
We never had a fight.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Well, yeah, we stop stop saying that because we assumed
that everyone's.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
When you guys have a fight. Do you blame Elvis?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Oh stop yeah, yeah, he's the one. He was down
in the pit getting them together. Wow, that is so crazy.
So any questions for Joel? This is awesome.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Did you invite anybody from the show to your wedding?
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I believe Scary was at my wedding?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah you were.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
We actually became close as a result of this. This
is your friend he yeah, well I haven't spoken him
in a long long time. He just reached out to
us on X that today's the day. So I haven't
seen Joel in years and years, but I did end
up going to his wedding.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Wow. Wow wow.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I don't know if Greg t went as well, but yeah,
but yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
See, there are good things that have come out of
this awful, awful show.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Do you know that when my parents met, my dad
was drunk and he didn't remember what my mom looked
like either. He found a piece of paper in his
like wallet or something, and he's like, oh, I think
I probably should call this person, and they wound up
calling and then yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
The way people our friend of Ki is married to Rnita.
He met her by knocking on the wrong door one day.
Oh wow, and now they're married with three kids.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, there's there's a hope for you. Can we this
event back?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
It was a great event.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I think this is a fantastic idea. Yeah yeah, most
of the game.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Joel found the love of his life. For god, what
we're gonna say, Joel?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
What was that Vitamin C was performing? It was that
one song?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
What was that song? Something about squol Rember now the
graduation song? Oh yeah, okay, there you go, Vitamin C.
We had some real clunkers at some of those shows.
I'm not saying she's a clunker.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Yeah, Gandhi, I think now's the time to bring it
back because people are lonelier than they've ever been. Everybody
complains about dating apps and how terrible they are, and
it's impossible to find somebody you just want to know
about that chemistry and you're face to face. Now is
the time.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Let's do it everything.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
What people have to be able to, you know, to
actually communicate with one another, because everyone's always looked at
their phones.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It's a different time them up in those bags.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I Elvis, you may be interested. I've found a lot
of younger people aren't even trying the apps. They've already
given up on the dating apps.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Wow. Wow, so they want to just need somebody, like
at a meat market lame date dinners. That was so
much fun when we.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Do oh, I got look, I got scared doing the
blind date dinners and the meat marks. I was afraid
someone was going to take someone take someone on a
date like they they'll find them in a closet dead.
So thank god you didn't kill your wife, Diane. I'm
so happy.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
No, no, no, no, wow.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Things have changed so much since then, So maybe we
can try to apply this maybe, you know, the blind
date inners were interesting some of the but when you
had it on match like we did with these thousands
of people that came to these events, that was a
big thing.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Because I know it was a lot of did we
even vet anybody back like we didn't. I think it
was just sign up and show up.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
That's what Yeah, show up.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That was it.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Come on, psycho killers, let's have a party.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That's what it was.
Speaker 3 (08:18):

please give Dian our best and our congratulations to twenty
five years together. And you met at our meat market.
