Fifteen minute morning show podcast. Sometimes it's fifteen. Sometimes it
is who's county? Let's see? Oh, I love it. Scotty's here,
but he can't talk to us. Scotty he can wait.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And there's Danielle, and there's Gandhi, and there's Nate and
I see got it and there's Scotty.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
B Scotty like a note, and then we could read

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, he can. And Scary is here, got a what's
going on?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Everybody? Is that where we need to tell you what's
going on?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yes? Everyone tells Scary what's going on? What's going on? Well,
what's news?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
You're here?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
In Europe they take that literally. If you ask someone, hey,
what's going on? They will tell you what's exactly or
what's That.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Is the difference between Europeans and Americans here in the
United States. If you go, oh my god, we should
get together sometime, doesn't mean you're going to get together.
In Europe, they take it literally. Okay, then they'll whip
out their phone, let's get a date.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
They seem to care more in Europe is what they.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Do also I love you.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
They feel we tossed that phrase around with any consideration.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You were married to a brit you know that.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Let me just tell you. I will say sometimes to Sheldon,
I love you, and I know he loves me, but
I'll go hello and he goes listen. You know how
we think they treat it. They don't want to treat
it as a bean bag word. They don't just flippantly
throw it around. It's not constantly I love you, I
love you too. They don't do it like that. It's
not how it works. So they say it at the
right moment, at the right time. You know, it has
(01:50):
a lot more meaning behind it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And that makes sense, does you?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
And you would say, like, oh my god, I love
this coffee, they would never even have them saying that
they love their coffee.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
They enjoy it, or they enjoy it, or like they.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Just rather than tell you they love the coffee, they'll say,
this coffee has a really great taste, like this, I mean.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
I like that better. That seems more genuine.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It is. It's extremely genuine.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
And you know, I started learning that when I started
to going to Europe years and years and years ago.
They always always agreed with each other across all of
Europe that Americans we would just throw phrases and throw
things around without any regard for what we're saying.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Happen more so on the West Coast, if you want
to be really disingenuous.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
When I went to go visit.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Nate, but the first time I went to La a La,
He's like, you're gonna see a lot of people be like, oh,
we're going to do lunch. Sometimes we'll get together, we'll
do and it's all just a bunch of air fluff
word vomit, which means nothing. And I'm like, really, they
don't fu especially out there in New York.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
At least you know where you stand with the New Yorker. Typically.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
Yeah, I saw a whole list of difference a spot
an American in Europe, and it made me laugh because
I was like, you know, we do do.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
All those things.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Hats, he said, jeans, people in Europe don't just wear
jeans all the time, yep, sneakers, staring at your phones constantly.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
It was.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
It really all made us look terrible.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So A Gandhi sent a list over to me, the
five signs You've reached toxic boss status.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Oh I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying, well, who
is our boss?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Technically I'm not. No, I'm not I'm not the boss.
I'm not the boss. I may be the loudest, I'm
not the boss.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
If it's not you, I guess will that be Tom
thea boy Pittman. Do we answer to anybody what happens
around here?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't think we do. Don't. We don't enter to
a higher authority. We're not kosher.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
So maybe this just applies to everybody else.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So I'm gonna get into this tomorrow on the show.
I need to read this article a little better, but
I'm perusing. It's very, very interesting. There's something else we
wanted to bring out. What was that Valentine's Day?
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Oh yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Right, let's talk about it.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You know, even in a couple, as I am in
a couple, we just Valentine's Day just isn't a thing.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
It just isn't right.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, And I'm sure there are relationships out there where
one half of the of the couple is like into it,
the other one isn't, and so it turns into a struggle,
an argument.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
What do you mean? Okay, let's go with it. Robin
wants to be valentined up, and you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
More than any other girlfriend I've ever had in the past.
She she likes, she wants the proper dinner. It's not
we do we gift exchange a thing, but she wants
to do the dinner on the night of Valentine's Day,
no matter what day of the week it falls on.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So I just listen.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I've become accustomed to it because I'm in a relationship
with her. And so sure enough, I got all the plans,
I check all the boxes.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Did you use any of my ideas?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I sure did. Okay, hold on, so you see, you
really do want to do a good job. You actually
went for a consultation with Danielle. Yes, which was a
very expensive consultation. I'm sorry, but that's okay. You're welcome, Robin.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, anyway, but yeah, so so she appreciates that. So she,
for whatever reason, that is what's important to her, and
I respect that.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So we're going to Valentine's it up. I may even
wear red. Oh wow, they're all in yeah, all in
an all red suit. Scotty. Scotty is saying something, what
are you saying? First time in twenty five years without
a Valentine. Scott will be here.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Valentine, Scotty, this is your Independence Day, man, this is
the time to celebrate your life.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Exactly. You should be celebrating the fact that you have
a Valentine this year.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
That message right there just flooded his DMS.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
By the way, oh yeah, yeah wow.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
What about you, Gandhi? What's Valentine's Day for you?
Speaker 7 (06:04):
I don't care about it at all, exactly, not even
a little. I get I understand why people do. I
always sort of thought it was maybe like a new
couple thing, because you want reasons to celebrate. But I
just I don't care. I I know this is cliche,
but I don't want someone to do something nice for
me because it's a day on a calendar of where
they're forced to do it. I just if you want
to do something nice for me because you love me,
(06:24):
do it any day of the of the year. I
don't care.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
When I was a kid, my dad always used to
come home after work with one of those heart shaped
candy boxes.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, every every single year, every single.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Year, for your mom or for you, for me, everyone
got Valentine's candies.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
What about you? Danielle.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So my dad used to do the same thing. He
and even when I got married, he would drive to
my house every Valentine's Day make sure I had chocolate
from him, and he drives. So that's gonna make me cry.
So hold time, Oh, Roy, we don't same thing with Gandhi.
We kind of like I show each other how we
feel every day. We never go out on Valentine's Day.
(07:04):
We'll go to dinner, but we'll do it the day
after or the day before. I just we just think
it's too busy on Valentine's Day, and so we do that.
But I always decorate Sheldon's office for Valentine's Ay. That's
my tradition. Every year. I get decorations and before I
leave for work, I decorate his office. And so that's
like something that I It's like a little tradition that
(07:25):
I keep from you.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
You do recognize it, then, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
And we give each other like chocolate and chot Key's.
But we, like I said, it's not like, oh gosh,
we have to do something, we have to do this.
We don't feel that way.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, what about you.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Garrett, Well, we are going out to lunch because you know,
we don't want to pay for a babysitter on Valentine's Day.
It's almost like it's like a babysitter holiday where they
double double charge you.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Oh really, they price gouch.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Oh they price goug big time. So we're like, all right,
let's go, let's go to lunch. But lunch is almost
just as expensive as Valentine's Day dinner where we were shocked.
We're like, why are we paying as if we're going
out to dinner for lunch with not even a full
menu like that. So we're trying to figure it out.
We tried to go this weekend, but this weekend and next,
this coming weekend, and last weekend the same thing. The
(08:08):
prices are insane for just to go out, so uh,
we'll be probably making a heart shaped pizza or something.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well, anyone in.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
The restaurant business will almost anyone in the restaurant business
will tell you that they do.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
They find ways to really cash it in for Valentine's Today.
Who wants.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Will they do those damn prefixed menus where they force
you into like like crazy amount of money for stuff
that I don't even want to eat, and.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Then they don't even look for you filet mignon.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's like, oh, you gotta have the chicken, or I
don't want chicken for that price, I want fill a.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Sorry God, is that the way you speak at the table?
I don't like the prefixed thing. I think that's a
you know, just a way I got you.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Well, look, yeah, well what you said about your dad.
He got you of Valentine's And I started thinking, I
kind of want to get my son hut of Valentines.
But like, I don't know. I don't know because I
never got one from my dad.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Personally.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
I got always got it from my mom, you know.
But since I'm up first in the morning because we
leave I leave early, I think I want to do it,
but I don't know. I've been on the fence about it.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I don't do it.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
My mom and dad always got me little bags, both
of them.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Here's some candy, Yeah, leave them some chocolate or something.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Get your son all hyped up on sugar.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Give them some candy in the morning, and send them
off to school.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah school exactly.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
In school do they still exchange the little Valentine.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
But now a lot of the schools don't let you
have like candy or lollipops because you know how some
of them have a little so now it's like you
put attached a pencil or an eraser or a rubber bracelet.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
But they still have the little cards. It says like
choose you.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
And they do secret Valentines where each student gets someone
in the class and they have to do something special
for them.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Oh that sucks though if you don't want like your person.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
See now that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Back in the day, you didn't have to get every
single kid of Valentine, now you Oh no, Now, when
I was growing.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Up, you had to give everything. We didn't. I never
got any. I mean that was a lot of time ago.
I mean that's back. That's ba we have dirt floors
in one room. Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
System.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
But like even invitations to birthday parties, like if you're
going to invite the kids in front of all the
other kids, they want you to invite everybody back in
the day, Back in the day, I invited three four kids.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's a school of hard knocks. It was like that
in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Why are you such an You're like an angry old
man growing up.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
I mean, I don't know if it should be the
school of hard knocks. But they shouldn't force people to
hang out with people they don't want to hang out with.
What is that teaching you.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
About the real world exactly?
Speaker 7 (10:54):
When you're an adult, you can say I don't want
to hang out with them.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, but it's just like here. You don't invite people
in front of other people.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Have you been here?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah? I know, we do click it up a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I wouldn't invite someone in front of someone else, but
I would I wouldn't I give an invitation to somebody
and not invite someone else. I mean, but not in
front of them. I don't think you have to invite everyone.
You're not going to be invited to everything all the time.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
It doesn't work that adulthood.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
You have to tell a little Bobby and Tracy, don't
tell the other kid.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That's the problem.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
That's where yeah, yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
You're going to calm this birthday party anyway. Look, we've
done enough, so happy Valentine's Eve. Yes, have a beautiful
day and let's.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Just love each other. Okay, we'll see you next time.
