it every day because the listenership is picking up. People
are loving this podcast. I can't figure out why. So
(01:27):
I'm Elvis. I'm here with Bethany, and there's Dave Rody.
Now there's Garrett, there's Sky Is Scary, and there's Danielle
and straight Nate who's not feeling very well today. So
he's eating a croissant. Must be nice. I think he's pregnant.
I was dizzy, Brett nausea or nauseated. He's nauseated, not
nauseous whatever. There is a difference, you know what. But
(01:50):
I gotta be honest with you. I've always thought it
was I'm nauseous, but that is not correct. I'm nauseated
as what sounds stupid people that speaking I feel nauseous.
Everyone says I feel they're wrong. We've been wrong all
these years. The plant is the point set here not
the point set. I get upset when people say this
(02:10):
throw up on the floor. Throw up is the action
vomits on the floor exactly that you are foul foul.
Do you notice that Nate went straight for like a
bread product. Why do you have these products? No, they'll
go to products when you're you're sick. Like my my
mother would always like, get you want, you want some
ginger rail and postina is going to make me better? Yeah,
(02:35):
it settles your stomach, It helps absorb whatever grossness is
in there. The bread does ginger aile. The ginger is
known to help settle stomach. So the answers, yes, scary,
what's this medicine? Why is that? Look? I don't. By
the way, nauseating is the quality of inflicting nausea on someone.
There you go, so I can say I'm nauseous nauseated. Alright,
(02:59):
So several things I want to talk about today. First
of all, Nate, Nate, well, tell your story about what happened.
And and we're definitely divided when it comes to this. Okay,
So I wanted to get something to eat. There was
a restaurant in my neighborhood that I looked up and
they were open till eight o'clock, right, and I was
cutting it a little bit close. I started out my
door at like seven, and I get there at seven
(03:21):
fifty five. I walk in and the guy's polishing the
counter and he looks up and he just has this
defeated look, and I sho saw his shoulders hunched down,
and he just looked at me like I ruined his
day because I walked in at seven fifty five. But
that's my right, right, they're they're open till eight o'clock.
By right. I could have sat there in eight, but no,
(03:42):
I said. I was polite, and I said, hey, what's
the fastest thing you can make? I'll have that. So
he made the fastest thing on the menu to the
thing that he didn't require cooking or anything like. So
it doesn't say on the sign of the door, doesn't
say open till late, but stopped serving at I used
to work at Starbucks, and when I worked the closing shift,
(04:02):
we would pre close, and so if we were to
close at ten, around nine thirty, we'd start just getting
ready to clean stuff up, and then we put the
final load of dishes through the washer around nine fifty,
banking on the fact that no one was coming like
they but we, I mean we served them. Obviously we
were frustrated, but we also knew, like, well, we took
a gamble and didn't pay off this time, but sometimes
(04:23):
it did pay off. So you were right, you can
totally come. But I also see where he's coming from. Yeah,
but I did the right thing. Yeah, I was like, hey,
give me the fastest thing. I know you're trying to close.
Like if you go to a Starbucks and they've already
closed up, but they're still technically open. Ask for an
iced chie because that's nothing but syrup and cold milk
and ice. They don't have to clean anything, they don't
have to dirty open until eight. I can order anything
(04:46):
on the menu until eight. That's seating until eight. See
Nate partially understood. It doesn't say seating. Nate deliberately was
easy on the guy because you know you were being
a dick. But you only have cared because if you
didn't think it was a rule, you would have ordered
whatever the hell you wanted and not thought twice about it.
But you were being nice because you understand the guy,
as a family wants to get home. He already like
(05:07):
Bethany I used to be a manager at Starbucks. I
used to clean the wand get all the steam milk off,
and if you came in at the last minute, it
was a little bit of hectic, right, But you got
a paper cup. I wasn't putting your coffee in a
in a mug for you to sit there for an hour.
You get a paper cop Thanks for coming. I get that,
But I want what I want off the menu. And
I know it's it's a pompous, asshole thing to do,
and so I wouldn't do it. I would never go
(05:28):
to a place right before they're about to close. But
that's but if you do, they're open till eight. Yeah, no,
technically it's your right, you know. For several years I
worked at a beach club and I was a meat slicer,
the sandwich guy, and the and the grill sergeant and
I hold on, hold you're all sergeant, to salute you.
I didn't try to make flipping burgers and hot dogs,
(05:50):
but we had like an actual grill, a military So
when we were closing at eight o'clock, I would legit
start scraping that that that the you know what, you know,
the skill it and I would clean the barbecue part,
and then I would take apart the meat slicer, those
cold cut meat slicers. They come in like fifteen different parts,
and I would you have to carefully with brillo go
(06:10):
It was okay, I'm sorry that you have to do that,
but that's your job, beef sergeant. But the thing is,
if we're closing, whatever the hell it is, if we
started closing at seven the beef private and you walk
in at seven fifty five, I wanted to wring your
neck because not not my fault. The same way with retail.
If eight o'clock is eight o'clock, you've got to be
(06:32):
checked out. All the registers gotta be closed by eight o'clock.
We have to be out of there at eight. We
don't want to be sitting there at seven anyway. Like
then they should close at seven thirty. You rub roast beef,
all of them. I gotta I gotta take it apart
and clean it again. They'd start speaking. That's the thing.
I guess what we need, uh, we need we need
(06:54):
a call made here on closing time. What it means.
Closing time means it closes. Yeah. In restaurants, they say, well,
we close it eight. That means they will not see
you after eight, but sometimes they'll say no, no, no,
we turn off the kitchen at eight, or we don't
take another order until you know, until the next day.
If you order after eight, can't order. So it's different
(07:15):
everywhere you go. Yeah, I think. I think with places
like this, it sounds like this is more like a
healthy fast food kind of place that it's like, yeah,
we close it eight, you can order up to eight.
We really hope you don't take it to go. I
just finished suran wrapping the entire salad bar and putting
all the stuff underneath, and you took a gamble like Bethan.
(07:35):
He was saying, you took a gamble, rolled the dice.
Now I gotta unwrap everything and make you sick snake eyes.
After a while, you figure out the shortcuts. You saran
wrap the slicer, you tinfoil the countertops. You you take
the cheese pump, you make like ten cups of cheese,
then you can clean the pump. No one's coming if
the ten cups of cheese at five minutes to close.
There's ways to get around all of that and still
be funny. There's a smart manager's going to be a
(07:57):
grill sergeant for you what you know, it's gonna be
pissed it. They have to work in fast food going
Ramsey's kids because he's not leaving them a penny. They're
gonna end up in fast food exactly. Now, moving on today,
I was saying, I love going down to Italy. Italy
is my favorite place. I get a glass of wine
when I walk in, I walk around and just pick
up everything, read every label, taste everything. It's just it's
(08:19):
an experience. I'm gonna do it again today. Um, and
Nate said, well, wait, doesn't Italy have that incredible green
tea cake. It's called Lady M or something. And I said, no,
I think they have another store down there near Italy,
but not at Italy. So then Bethany says, yeah, it's
(08:39):
a green team cake down by Italy. Then the next
thing you know, she opens up her browser and sees
what at the top of my screen where there's usually
like a banner ad, it says Lady M Confections and
it's a picture of green tea cake. And she didn't
search for it. Wow, it just heard her me. No, no, no,
(09:01):
we know, we need we need to acknowledge these microphones
are on, like i't know. There was that story that
came out a couple of weeks ago that your Samsung
TV can listen to you, and um, I have a
Samsung TV and every once in a while I will
hear it turn on, but it doesn't turn on, and
(09:23):
I've always sort of wondered what that was. But I'll
hear it in the background kind of like go through
a little power cycle of like it's listening to you,
and I've never I don't know what it is, but
it spooks. Well. The good news is Bethany's always whining
about how no one listens to her. Yeah, well you're
Samsung TV, and I feel more a part of a
community than I ever have before. You're finally heard. I
(09:46):
feel really really validated. There's somebody actually eavesdropping on the conversation,
or it's just searching for keywords. I think it's words
they're looking for. You don't know, that's the thing. We
don't know. Let me ask my computer. It's clearly listening
to me, is Elvis. It's the rule at a radio
station with microphones around you, in a room, microphones are on.
You know, a friend of mine used to work at
a TV station. He was the manager, and if you
(10:07):
said any any curse words near a microphone that you
would get fined, even if the microphone, I mean you're
just walking through the studio and saying, oh fuck, that
would be like fifty buster. Because it's happened before. I
remember if it was here in my old station where
somebody was they were doing a remote broadcast from the
State Fair or something, and the person running the board
(10:27):
back at the station, the nothing was on. They were
just talking to the person at the remote and they
were swearing and it was going live over the air.
On a different that has happened to me in Houston.
That happened to me. It's kind of a roundabout story,
but I'll try to my best. I was broadcasting live
in front of the Astro Dome right where Madonna was
playing that night. Okay, So I was at the power
(10:49):
one off for k RB Studio, and the way they
had hooked up was when I would speak to the
the studio, it would it would be a delay like hello,
then I can hear myself coming back Hello. It's one
of those digital delays whatever and so. But it only
did it when I was on the air, so I
was like, Okay, we're about to go live. I did
my life. Hey it's Elvis Duran als Duran at the
(11:12):
Madonna show. At the Madonna Show, and I would have
to hear that irritating loop back to me. Then they
cut it off. Ya, you're off, and I would talk
and I couldn't hear myself. So I'm sitting there going
all right, I'm watching people buying, like, oh my god,
look at this fucking asshole. And then in my ear
I heard, oh my god, look at this fucking asshole.
(11:34):
And I did this. I went hello and heard hello
someone back at the station. It turned me on and
didn't tell me. So I said that on. Yeah, yeah,
and that person who turned him on now cleans the
(11:54):
girl the girl sergeant. Yeah. That is the number one
rule of radio, apparently is considered the mics always on,
and we don't know. Well, so your microphone is always
on on your laptops, on your TVs, on your cell phone,
I mean series always listening to me on my Alexa,
(12:15):
always on on Alexa unless you hit that mute button
at the top. That you need to apologize to everyone
who heard the podcast just now, and they have an Alexa.
I'm sorry, Hey Alexa, buy me everything in the Amazon
car and ship it to the Straight Morning Show. That's
that's why we refer to those as the echo, so
won't pick us up. So, yeah, it is frightening to
know that there's something listening to your words and you
(12:38):
didn't tell it it could. But there's a video of
Edward Snowden and he shows how you can remove the
microphone and the cameras from your phone, and in fact,
he does that all the time. Of course he's Edward
snow and they're going to try and um, but yeah,
he suggests that you should do that on your phone.
Sometimes my friend has a permanent piece of duct tape
on his on his video camera on his laptop. Yeah
(13:02):
they should. But still it can still hear you that
this was black. Did you see the episode of Black
Mirror on Netflix when the guy that was good, Oh
my gosh, that freaked me out. That's going to happen.
They're listening to you, but they're not. Maybe they haven't
sent me to kill anybody yet, So that's good. The
day is young, that's good, right, See, Like this is
the crazy thing. So I'm in my in the settings
(13:24):
of my computer right now, Oh that's creepy, and I'm
under sound and their sound effects. But then you go
to input and as I talk, it's just monitoring the
levels of how a lot I'm talking. It's moving the
meter as we talked. As we talked, the meters going,
it's listening. The microphone is on. We don't know where
it's going, if going anywhere. We don't know if anyone's
listening to it, or any computer is trying to pick
(13:46):
up your algorithms. And you know, we don't know. So
I just turned the volume all the way down, so
now it's not well. You call a customer service line
and then they ask for permission to get into your computer.
If it's easy for them to hit a couple of
buttons and then they take control and they do with
like a screen share. If they can do that, then
somebody could just hack in at any given time and
see and hear you. But we don't know where that
(14:06):
audio is going. But just for the sake of argument
with very good friends with you, we love you. Comment
My dad told me when I was a kid, if
you write something down, someone's gonna see it. In this
day and age, the modern dad would say, if you're
going to say something, someone's gonna hear it, and that's
(14:27):
a little creepy. And if you're gonna have a fight
on the plane, someone's gonna video That was kind of stupid.
Did they not know someone's gonna video tape that? I
think in the heat of the moment, the security people
didn't think that through. They you know, and today United
Airlines is paying the price, and you know they were
a part of the problem, but they really they said
please remove this guy. They didn't know what was going
(14:48):
to escalate into something that crazy. Yeah, and the head
of United is saying, listen, like, are people like I
stand behind? What are people had to do? And I
think he meant like the policy of overbooking flights and
then having to remove if they ask you to leave,
you really have no choice, you have to leave. Yeah,
but the guy had to get to his patience. If
everyone had an excuse, everyone had a reason why they
had to go somewhere, that's why they're going, you know that.
(15:09):
And uh, and yeah, maybe the guy did have patience
he had to operate on. But you know, when you fly,
there's a contract there that says they can for any
reason take you off their plane belongs to them. If
someone died the next morning because he didn't get there
to operate on them, then then that's that's damage. Do
you think I have to do a morning show is
important enough? Nope, Like I can't get off the plane.
I've got to do phone taps, especially if they're going
(15:32):
to give you a lot of money to give your
flight up. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the money.
I'm not talking about me. I meant like if Elvis
says I got a host of show. Traveling is such
a it's such a painful, awful thing. The good news
is as much pain and in terror you have to
go through to get from point to point B. It's
worth it, because isn't it great to without your passport
and you go through all that crap. But you get
(15:52):
there and it's a it's a trip and we're good. Yeah,
we're good. We are shift in minute morning show
It's time for the fifteen minute Morning Show podcast thanks

a green team cake down by Italy. Then the next
thing you know, she opens up her browser and sees
what at the top of my screen where there's usually
like a banner ad, it says Lady M Confections and
it's a picture of green tea cake. And she didn't
search for it. Wow, it just heard her me. No, no, no,
(09:01):
we know, we need we need to acknowledge these microphones
are on, like i't know. There was that story that
came out a couple of weeks ago that your Samsung
TV can listen to you, and um, I have a
Samsung TV and every once in a while I will
hear it turn on, but it doesn't turn on, and
(09:23):
I've always sort of wondered what that was. But I'll
hear it in the background kind of like go through
a little power cycle of like it's listening to you,
and I've never I don't know what it is, but
it spooks. Well. The good news is Bethany's always whining
about how no one listens to her. Yeah, well you're
Samsung TV, and I feel more a part of a
community than I ever have before. You're finally heard. I
(09:46):
feel really really validated. There's somebody actually eavesdropping on the conversation,
or it's just searching for keywords. I think it's words
they're looking for. You don't know, that's the thing. We
don't know. Let me ask my computer. It's clearly listening
to me, is Elvis. It's the rule at a radio
station with microphones around you, in a room, microphones are on.
You know, a friend of mine used to work at
a TV station. He was the manager, and if you
(10:07):
said any any curse words near a microphone that you
would get fined, even if the microphone, I mean you're
just walking through the studio and saying, oh fuck, that
would be like fifty buster. Because it's happened before. I
remember if it was here in my old station where
somebody was they were doing a remote broadcast from the
State Fair or something, and the person running the board
(10:27):
back at the station, the nothing was on. They were
just talking to the person at the remote and they
were swearing and it was going live over the air.
On a different that has happened to me in Houston.
That happened to me. It's kind of a roundabout story,
but I'll try to my best. I was broadcasting live
in front of the Astro Dome right where Madonna was
playing that night. Okay, So I was at the power
(10:49):
one off for k RB Studio, and the way they
had hooked up was when I would speak to the
the studio, it would it would be a delay like hello,
then I can hear myself coming back Hello. It's one
of those digital delays whatever and so. But it only
did it when I was on the air, so I
was like, Okay, we're about to go live. I did
my life. Hey it's Elvis Duran als Duran at the
(11:12):
Madonna show. At the Madonna Show, and I would have
to hear that irritating loop back to me. Then they
cut it off. Ya, you're off, and I would talk
and I couldn't hear myself. So I'm sitting there going
all right, I'm watching people buying, like, oh my god,
look at this fucking asshole. And then in my ear
I heard, oh my god, look at this fucking asshole.
(11:34):
And I did this. I went hello and heard hello
someone back at the station. It turned me on and
didn't tell me. So I said that on. Yeah, yeah,
and that person who turned him on now cleans the
(11:54):
girl the girl sergeant. Yeah. That is the number one
rule of radio, apparently is considered the mics always on,
and we don't know. Well, so your microphone is always
on on your laptops, on your TVs, on your cell phone,
I mean series always listening to me on my Alexa,
(12:15):
always on on Alexa unless you hit that mute button
at the top. That you need to apologize to everyone
who heard the podcast just now, and they have an Alexa.
I'm sorry, Hey Alexa, buy me everything in the Amazon
car and ship it to the Straight Morning Show. That's
that's why we refer to those as the echo, so
won't pick us up. So, yeah, it is frightening to
know that there's something listening to your words and you
(12:38):
didn't tell it it could. But there's a video of
Edward Snowden and he shows how you can remove the
microphone and the cameras from your phone, and in fact,
he does that all the time. Of course he's Edward
snow and they're going to try and um, but yeah,
he suggests that you should do that on your phone.
Sometimes my friend has a permanent piece of duct tape
on his on his video camera on his laptop. Yeah
(13:02):
they should. But still it can still hear you that
this was black. Did you see the episode of Black
Mirror on Netflix when the guy that was good, Oh
my gosh, that freaked me out. That's going to happen.
They're listening to you, but they're not. Maybe they haven't
sent me to kill anybody yet, So that's good. The
day is young, that's good, right, See, Like this is
the crazy thing. So I'm in my in the settings
(13:24):
of my computer right now, Oh that's creepy, and I'm
under sound and their sound effects. But then you go
to input and as I talk, it's just monitoring the
levels of how a lot I'm talking. It's moving the
meter as we talked. As we talked, the meters going,
it's listening. The microphone is on. We don't know where
it's going, if going anywhere. We don't know if anyone's
listening to it, or any computer is trying to pick
(13:46):
up your algorithms. And you know, we don't know. So
I just turned the volume all the way down, so
now it's not well. You call a customer service line
and then they ask for permission to get into your computer.
If it's easy for them to hit a couple of
buttons and then they take control and they do with
like a screen share. If they can do that, then
somebody could just hack in at any given time and
see and hear you. But we don't know where that
(14:06):
audio is going. But just for the sake of argument
with very good friends with you, we love you. Comment
My dad told me when I was a kid, if
you write something down, someone's gonna see it. In this
day and age, the modern dad would say, if you're
going to say something, someone's gonna hear it, and that's
(14:27):
a little creepy. And if you're gonna have a fight
on the plane, someone's gonna video That was kind of stupid.
Did they not know someone's gonna video tape that? I
think in the heat of the moment, the security people
didn't think that through. They you know, and today United
Airlines is paying the price, and you know they were
a part of the problem, but they really they said
please remove this guy. They didn't know what was going
(14:48):
to escalate into something that crazy. Yeah, and the head
of United is saying, listen, like, are people like I
stand behind? What are people had to do? And I
think he meant like the policy of overbooking flights and
then having to remove if they ask you to leave,
you really have no choice, you have to leave. Yeah,
but the guy had to get to his patience. If
everyone had an excuse, everyone had a reason why they
had to go somewhere, that's why they're going, you know that.
(15:09):
And uh, and yeah, maybe the guy did have patience
he had to operate on. But you know, when you fly,
there's a contract there that says they can for any
reason take you off their plane belongs to them. If
someone died the next morning because he didn't get there
to operate on them, then then that's that's damage. Do
you think I have to do a morning show is
important enough? Nope, Like I can't get off the plane.
I've got to do phone taps, especially if they're going
(15:32):
to give you a lot of money to give your
flight up. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the money.
I'm not talking about me. I meant like if Elvis
says I got a host of show. Traveling is such
a it's such a painful, awful thing. The good news
is as much pain and in terror you have to
go through to get from point to point B. It's
worth it, because isn't it great to without your passport
and you go through all that crap. But you get
(15:52):
there and it's a it's a trip and we're good. Yeah,
we're good. We are shift in minute morning show
