Hi, Diamond, Very.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I always love to see you as Nate eats Darry
from across the room. So why are you joining us today, Diamond,
Other than the fact you're always welcome to.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Be with us, Well, thank you. I heard that people
had some things to say about the fact that I
took my grandmother on a job interview with me.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Okay, okay, we were talking about this earlier about gen zers.
We're hearing from employers gen zers are bringing their parents
to their interviews, not only to drop them off as
in transportation, but to bring them into the interview.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And you did this, I yeah, yeah, okay, to the
actual physical Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
But it wasn't on purpose.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
So what was the job?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okay it was.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
It was while I was still in Saint John's. I
was interviewing to be a student worker in the TV Center, Right, Okay,
so you know, say TV if you know me, you
know that you might. My grandmother and I are really
(01:25):
really close. So one day, I don't know how this happened.
It's just very weird in my head. I don't know
what I was thinking, what she was thinking, whatever. So
I knew that I had to drive to campus and
she was going to be home alone. So I was like, hey,
you want to go for the ride, and so she's like, yeah,
let's do it. Okay. So we get to the campus
and for some reason, I thought I could sit her
(01:46):
down in the food court area of a specific building,
and Marylac yes, So apparently they had had an event
and there was there were no seats in the entire
food court area. So I was like, okay, like, I'll
take you upstairs with me and you could send in
a random classroom, not a big deal. We get upstairs
(02:06):
and the classrooms are empty, like empty, and so I'm
like thinking to myself, what am I gonna do? Because
now I'm around the corner from where I'm about to
be interviewed, and the guy just so happens to walk
in the hallway and he sees us standing there, he's like,
are you Diamond. I'm like, yeah, listen, before we start,
do you have a chair for my grandmother?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
He's like excuse me.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I was like, yeah, listen, long story. I don't know
what's going on, but I need a chair. And he's like, oh, yeah, sure.
He introduces himself to my grandmother. She's like, hey, whatever,
we do the interview. Of course I get the job
because I mean, come on. And months later he's like,
(02:51):
you know, like in a room full of people, he's like, yeah,
you know, Diamond brought our grandmother on her on our interview,
and I mean I loved it.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
It showed me that she was really nice to people,
like she brought her grandmother, she cares about old people.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Boom all right, So nothing to be embarrassed about taking
your grandmother with you.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, when you guys brought it up on the show today,
I was like, yike, cause I did that. I don't
think it was anything happened.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You're very clear with you.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You were very specific about why it happened. It wasn't
like you didn't bring her because you needed her there.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
No, but it's cute.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
That's my little best I can say that it's a
power move on on Diamond's part.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Like, okay, so she didn't participate in the interview.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
But your grandmother, sweet old woman, oh my god, who's
not going to get that job?
Speaker 7 (03:39):
Listen, hey, your teck, your little check in your pocket.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It worked a sweet old southern lady who will make
you like sweet tea, are you kidding me? And we
talked about it all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
She is definitely a different story than what we were
talking about.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
I would assume that get backfire, like you have the
old bearing grandma who's like you take care of my
dolling and give him a job like that. I mean,
dad would be what that was my grandma?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Diamond's grandma is not Italian, that was.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Old Jewish grandma.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
My friend's mom came with her to all of her
sorority meetings. No, so this was in college, so the
mom did not want her to join a sorority. She
insisted anyway. She was one of those moms who was
very old school. She would sit outside of the sorority meeting,
wait for her to come out and drive her back
home so she would never be able to go out
(04:34):
with her sorority.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Friends or how embarrassing that it was.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
It was tough, but let me tell you she was
a great kid, because anybody else would have been rebelling.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
She never rebelled. She was so good.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
It's crazy, crazy, weird. Would no, are you crazy? Just
as if he asked, if he asked me to come
with him, why would he ask me to come?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
We're just playing hypothetical and goes, mom, come with.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
Me, I would say no. I would say you need
to do.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
This on your own.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
This is that's exactly what you would do.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
Of course, would you.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
If they asked, would you beat up a kid who
was picking on your kid?
Speaker 8 (05:15):
Well, I've had to have words with kids, yes, videos
I've never hit them. I just had words.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Okay, that's old. I just I always feel els is like,
let's have a kid, and I think I think I
would beat up little kids.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
It was I remember once in like one of those
bounce places, you know, like a bounce you type of
a place, and it was a birthday party and these
kids were being nasty to one of my kids, and
I walked over to the kid and I said, listen
to me, I'm going to get your mother in about
five seconds. If I see you touch my kid again.
You're going to be in a lot of trouble. And
then it happened to Macy's as well. Kid was being
(05:50):
nasty to my kid, and I walked over and said something.
I said, I'm going to about five seconds.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Have you ever had a parent tell you to mind
you're a business?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
No?
Speaker 8 (05:57):
Because here's the problem. These incidents were when parents weren't
paying any attention to what their children were doing. So
I went over and threatened the child that I would
bring their parents over. Love it, and you know it
stops because they don't want their parents to know what
they're doing.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
See.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
I feel like you can kind of get away with
it too because you're you're short like me. Yeah, so
it's like it doesn't look like this big imposing person
threatening a child, but you can still threaten a child, right, Like, listen,
I swear to God, I to pick you up off
your feet. It's gonna be bad.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
When I was a kid, there was one guy yelling
at my dad because I was we were at a
football game whatever, and I was standing up and I
was in his way.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't know, tell your kid to shit the fuck down.
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
My dad whipped his head around and looked at him
like you fuck.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And I was a kid, but I knew. I knew that.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
You know, the pressure was building, oh man, and I
knew something was about to happen. Luckily it was all
diffused and their friends and they were parents in the room.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Do you know when your kid is being an asshole?
Speaker 8 (06:52):
And like I would hope so, no, I mean, of course.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Mostly in the confines of your own house.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Outside it at home, it's okayhole at home, then an
asshole outside.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Exactly my kids. And you know what, let me tell
you something. The first boy to break one of my
daughter's hearts, there's gonna be words. I don't know what
I'm gonna do. How dare you? You don't do that
to my daughter?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh daddy?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I mean, I've never been there before, but it's something's
gonna happen.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
It's gonna happen.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
I tell all my my friends that have daughters. I
want to act out that scene in Bad Boys where
Martin Lawrence and Will Smith come to the door for
for a first date and they're the guy's picking up
mart Lawrence's daughter and they're like, you ever been to jail?
You ever make love to a man and like, really
scare scare the kid like chitless, Like Scotty, I'll do
that with you.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So these baseball bats everything, it's just intimidating, Gunny. This
is why we cannot be parents.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
I don't need Martin Lawrence. I will just show up
and scare them myself. I just I don't know. I
feel like I'm that parent. I would be that parent
who would board a bus if people were picking on
my kid, just be like, no.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You though your mother beat someone up on your bus?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
No.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
An adult came out to the bus that we were
on and started screaming at this kid in the back,
and I was like, oh my god, I can't believe this.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
That kid deserve it.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Well yeah, because he took his dinger ound and waved
it around.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
In the bus.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
That kid's name Scotty Bean.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
No, no, no, I would never do that. But there
was one kid on the bus that'll always like take
either his butt or his penis out and wave it
around at the cars behind us. And at one of
the parents came running like banging on the door of
the bus, and the bus drop was like okay and
just opened the door to this raging parent. And the
guy came to the back of the bus and almost
beat the ship out of this kid. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
No camera's on the bus at that time.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
There was barely breaks on those buses.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Hew seat belts, looking seat belts.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I mean, you know what, when I was a kid,
they had him dangling, but nobody ever used man. I
still don't think you have to.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
No.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
I used to hear that you should have a seat
belt in the back seat because it's more dangerous to
wear a seatbelt in the back seat. That's what they
used to tell us when we were kids. I never
had my seatbelts on the back seat when I was
a kid.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
You break your pelvis, That's why it's hard that it
would break.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Your pala You if you hit like a tree when
you fly through the front of the car, especially if
you're riding bitch, you know, like right through the middle.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That scares me.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I told you that. I used to sit in a
little compartment with my bus driver when I was in
fourth grade. Compartment like you know what, the special young
boy comp bus driver is driving.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Have a seat, Scotty, even let your dangle on the side.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
I used to curl up like this okay in this
little compartment to the left of the bus driver. And
he used to let me flick the emergency.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Boy between that and they gave you the hair.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
Yeah that you got your barber that brush into that
special room.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
To all stages of my life, it's been great.
Speaker 10 (09:55):
When they continue, Holy, where did this come from?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
A pedophile here?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
He didn't have school buses, right, So if you lived
a certain distance from school, you got a city bus pass.
And so we would take the number six bus home
and there was this guy that would be wearing a
camouflage jacket and he'd be trying to talk to me
and my brothers and and like he'd be like, you.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Know, I'm a policeman. And then we just were like,
this guy's a.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Foolish I want to see my revolver.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
He's full of ship.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And then like we stand on the bus one day
to see where he got up. He got up at
the Vandicamp's fish stick factory.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
This guy's full of ship.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
He pretended to be a cop and he's working at
the fish stick factory. And then one day he magically
wasn't on the bus anymore.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
Oh, yeah, magically, have you been approached by somebody like
for something like that. Like I was walking to church,
going to my girlfriend's house, meeting her for church, and
a guy pulled up beside me in a medical mask
with his in his hand, and he said, come here,
come here, And I was like, what the And then
he said, if you don't come in the car, I'm
(11:11):
coming out of the car to get you.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Holy ship.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
Ran to the little bodega on the corner, went in there,
was hysterically crying, called my girlfriend. Her mother came and
picked me up.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
It was so coy were smart enough to run?
Speaker 8 (11:25):
I know it was.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
It was.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Yeah, it was not good.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
It was not good.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Let me be careful, say even but when I grow up,
wasn't it was dangerous back in the old days.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Now back to Nate's story, he worked at a fish
dick factory.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Makes sense wearing.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Whatever happened to Bandicamp's I Love that?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Oh yeah, that's still around it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It was a blue box.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
It was a blue box.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Shut it down. They had just shut it down because
of the PDO problem.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
A yellow Oh my god, I just like to add
a nowhere, here's Nate, Well, we had a pedophile on
our bush.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Let's listen to your pedophile on the bus store off buses.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I feel like pedophiles are always on buses.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well, okay, our high school had this one guy who
was very friendly with the football team and apparently, I
don't know, there are pictures involved and all sorts of things.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
No, Scotti, really, should I not come in tomorrow again?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No, but I just have a feeling.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And after having this conversation with other friends, it's like
every school had one creepy oh yeah did that?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:53):
And also the teacher that ended up like two years
after someone graduated dating someone who was in their class. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
I went to an all boys Catholic high school and
two years after we graduated, one priest denounced his priesthood
and ended up marrying one of my friend's moms.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Wow, I could see that. That almost seems legitimate. Way
about you never know?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
That's okay.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
I'm sorry they're not pedophile, but I mean, thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You're the one that turned the turned the quarter for us.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, right off the road there. All right, Well, let's
end this mess.

By bye, good luck from God, bless The fifteen Minute
Morning Show.
