Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcastin
mel show, it is.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
The fifteen minute morning show podcast A little snaggle toothed
today because we're missing a few people. Nate and Scottie
b are out. They're both deathly ill, deathly ill.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
But the rest of us made it in.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
There's Danielle and Scotty and Gandhi and I see Garrett
is here and whoever else wants to stop by. So
where do we go with the podcast today?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
What's on your mind? That's really it's really making you
want to get it off your chest.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I really love the balloons in this studio. They're so pretty.
Thanks forgetting them purpose, I love them.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You want to go ahead and get a shot of
those for everyone who are happening to be watching the
podcast cannot see look at those.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
They really are so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
They're great. They're great, Thank you, Balloon Saloon. They really
do make a huge difference. It adds depth to the room.
I heard a rumor that some of the higher ups
at iHeart don't like them.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
What really balloons and.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
They were suggesting that they would be removed. Why, well,
it doesn't matter. They're still here.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
So that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
But I think it's funny. Every time a guest walks
in the studio, they're like, whose birthday is it? They
always expensive, they're talking like art.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
They are like are they are? I think? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I think the overall design of our space is supposed
to be more stark and more industrial and more commercial.
I guess balloons don't fit into that equation.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
So, yeah, a weird concept for a group of people
who are supposed to be creative and having a good
time all the time to make it a sterile environment.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I think it's just kind of like the flavor of
the year when it comes to architectural design and commercial design.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Things like that. It has to be that warehouse.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
He look, it's kind of funny back in the day
where genes became jeans with holes in them, and people
would pay extra for holes and jeans. Yeah, you're like, well,
why would you pay more for something that basically on
the market costs less.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Right, I can put those holes in myself, especially where
my thighs rubbed together happens exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So now we work in a space which I love,
our iheartspace. Don't get me wrong, But some would argue,
like twenty years ago or ten years ago, it's not finished,
like they're not finished with it.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Well, you know, I keep saying that, look, I think
it looks great. The only thing I think is the
molding on the bottom. I really think we should have
a little bit of molding going around because I just
think it. I don't know, it doesn't look done down there, and.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well that's the point.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
No, but it doesn't look done like sometimes undone is
looks cool, but I don't feel like that part is
so cool.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Right, Well, what if you walk into a building that
has no roof, it's just open to the sky.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You could easily say, oh, no, that's the look, that's
what's going right now. Roof schmoof where we don't need
protection from the elements and all the cracks.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
How are the rats and roaches.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Going to get in?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well yeah, I guess yeah, Oh they'll they'll find a way.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We had a big duty sewage leak in our ceiling
the other day in the building You saw that, right,
oh yeah, right outside of Seacrest Studio.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Just to come.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I know he was, He's never in those studios.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
He finally decided to come in one day and fecal
matters falling from the sky. Oh well, sorry, we love
you well and we'll never let that happen again. Mister Seacrest,
We're sorry.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
I just got a text message from our friend Tom Kelly.
He says, I'm on your floor with fresh figs. He
has figs.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Fuck, we're talking about great figs and we're now ending
this great fig season of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
He's got him. He understands figs.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Might have been Yeah, I'm doing that right now now
as we speak.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Tell him that the cameras and the MIC's run. He'll
be here in a hurry.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Is that the kind of guy Tom Kelly is?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, a moth to light, that's what's going on with that.
So Tom Kelly with figs on the way. What else
do we want to cover something we can't cover on
air or we didn't.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I think we're okay. We'll go just waiting for figs.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Come on, bring your figs. Man.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I got an answer yesterday when you guys told me
to ask Brandon how often he thinks about the Roman Empire,
because I said, I think not at all. He said
pretty much, not at all unless he's seeing our own
government collapse and he thinks, oh, this is like the
Roman Empire. But that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, how was it worked?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
What I said?
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I said, yeah, when you come in the MIC's and
are on we're doing the podcast, he said, I'll be
right there.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Tom Kelly on a cracker. He's ready to go. He'll
be here any.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Minute now with his figs. So what got us on
the topic of figs?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I randomly asked about him? I said, Hey, is it
fig season? Because the other night I was at an
event and they had a fruit tray and you know
this pineapple and watermelon, but they were figs, fresh figs
at this party. I'm like, I've never seen fresh figs
in a fruit tray before, like that at a party.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
So I started eating.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
I had one, and I'm like, it just took me
back to my childhood of my great grandfather's fig tree.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And I'm like, got the parties you're going to where
they don't have figs?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Every party parties I don't have figs.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You're obviously the best thing in the world.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Yeah, but people say that bees and bugs get into
them and then they die in the fig and that's
the crunchy part.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I think that that's that's not the case.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's what they told us in Singapore from the tree.
I remember we ate those.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yes, well, look all fruit has the possibility of a
bug crawling in there.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But you're making it's not like all figs.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Every fig has a bug and you're gonna eat it?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Look at they say that these figs.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Scary general general eyes.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
You hear these stories, so sometimes you.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Know, I'm I'm seeing it's impossible for an animal or
an animal an.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Insect to crawl into a fig.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
But they're saying that they all are crunchy because of
they're all getting bugs in them.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yes, I don't know if this is true or not,
but this is from Planet natural dot com. It said
since wasps pollinate the majority of commercially grown figs, yes,
edible figs do include at least one dead female wasp.
They said, when it dies inside the fig, an enzyme
known as bison in the fig breaks down the carcass
into protein.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, here's Tom Kelly, Tom Kelly, open a fig. Do
you see any Yes?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (06:36):
I have fresh figs off the fig tree at my.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Irish father's house.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
A shop right sticker on it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Irish figs. Never heard of that.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Well, I'm half Italian, my sicilia.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I don't know why I'm putting the fig into the microphone,
but that's a good thing.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
According to Gandhi's research. There's a dead animal in there.
There's a dead insect.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
That's part of the tree. It's part of the excitement.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Wait a second, I've never seen a green fig. Every
fig that I've ever eaten was purple green fish.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Is a white fig is what they would call them.
This is so good. You ever had one? Have you
ever had a fresh one? Gone?
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I have?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
We picked one off of a tree in Singapore.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And take your tongue in there. Oh, scary, so good.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So he knew it was just a matter of time
to come down and bring your figs. I'm so glad
you brought fig I'm sorry I'm not there in the
studio to enjoy the figs with you.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
That's right, you know what it is. It's just a
week for figs right now. My my grandfather used to
say that they were best the first week, and they
are and uh, you know, that's just life, my friend.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
But I love him.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
This is the only Italian thing I still do like.
Scary was saying on the show yesterday about all the
neighbors that wrap up fig trees and stuff like that. Uh,
that's what I used to do with my Italian grandfather.
And now you know, Grandpa passed away, and my dad
lets me keep a fig tree at his house and
it's you know, it's.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It's a nice, nice story.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
And then Nate told me to bring him down. He's
not here well anyway, and these are great if you
eat them, they cling it out. Oh great, Yeah, Like
that's why I wasn't here.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
A little bit earlier. I was the train. The express
train came to the station.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
We call that sh yourself special, and that's what they are.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That's that's what they say, an Italian scary scary sharding
his pants.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Right now, I'm on the second one. Hey, aren't you
on strike?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Tom Kelly?
Speaker 7 (08:26):
I think so, so I should probably get out of here.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
They haven't figured that out yet.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Right now, I'm on it's a I'm sag after so,
I'm on a partial strike.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
I can't do a movie. But nobody was calling that anyway,
so no one wanted to between on strike and unemployed.
And I am sweet spot.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
We we as well are sag After, but were we
do not strike and that's they won't let us strike.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's weird.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Did you guys about the strike that s n L
can come back technically, but they won't probably probably in
solidarity with the act like they really Yeah, they fall
under the talk show category pretty much.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
But how they come back without actors.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
Well, they can come back with the writers strike. I'm
obsessive about it, and you just tell me when I'm
talking too much. But uh, sag After is really two
unions with ninety different contracts. So you can work on
a radio show even though you're sag After. You can
work on a daytime talk show if you are an actor,
but if you were in a movie that's on at night,
you can be on the daytime talk show, but you're
(09:27):
not allowed to talk about the movie you did at night.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So they're saying Saturday Night Live, as Garrett was saying,
is more of a talk show, yes, segment talking.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Okay, yeah, okay, So no, My question was more just
who would act out the scripts.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
The actors who are in sag After because you are
not on strike for acting on Saturday Night.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Live, and plus a lot of the actors are writers
and the writers thing just got cleared up.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
So that's a lot of those shows like Jimmy Fallon,
Drew Barrymore, they were all on strike in solidarity with
their writers, rather than being on strike as actors, which
are on strength.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Good call me, we don't have riders on our show.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
God, it's obvious we don't.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Speaking of. Are those figs going? Are they nice and tasty?
Speaker 7 (10:11):
I'm a little upset that Gandhi won't eat one. It's
like that's sort of an Italian insult. You have to
like pretend to like one per year.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Okay, give me one off for ten. I like, I
don't like fig.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Do you have issues? Don't eat it?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You eat Gandhi? You don't let him pressure you pressure.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
I'll look at it.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I don't want to waste it. Give it to the
people who like it. Scary loves us Garrett.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, well, how come your grandfather's figs are from Shopwright
the grocery store.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
I don't get Okay, So this is what I learned
last year, and again this is my only like non comedy,
non showbiz, non radio related hobby is growing this fig tree.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Last year I realized I.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Was spending more on zip block boxes to give people
figs they didn't want to eat.
Speaker 8 (10:49):
Then I was making all year like.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
So now what I've been doing is and this is
what the old Italians used to do too, is you'd
save all your pieces of plastic and then you put
the figs in that it's recycling. But in the old
days they would call that just being cheap.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, we've covered a lot to so yeah, I did
not see.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
The carcass inside that fig when they opened it, but
apparently the fison in the fig dissolves it.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
So so here's one that's sad. Is like, I picked
the very best figs because you guys are my close
friends and I want to impress you. When I get
down to the relatives, sometimes I'll give them a fig
and they'll open it up and ants will come out. Yeah,
and then they'll make faces and I'm like, but that's
how you know it's fresh, it's organic and there's no pesticides.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
First, ants don't want it unless it's fresh.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
No, you know what I eat the ones with the ants, Danielle,
because the one with the ants taste better. You know
they're good because the ants want to eat it.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
And then what do you you have ants in your.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Stomach right, and maybe that's why I was just in
the bathroom late for the podcast.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
The figs are very underrated. I'm very happy that we
had this.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
This is really sad. This is really sad.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
But the other thing is like sometimes the birds will
like take a bite, and you know those are the
good ones because the birds saw it from up high
and they took a bite.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
And I'll eat the half that the bird didn't eat.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
See you had the leftovers of other animals. You know
that they know better than we know. I love that. Well,
this has been very interesting fig talk only we have
writers exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
We got to get out of here. Thanks for joining
our fifteen minute morning show podcast. I don't even know
how long it was, doesn't matter. We're eating figs. Goodbye, everyone,
say goodbye bye.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Would you take them home?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
To the fifteen minute Morning Show
What would you talk about on your on your podcastin
mel show, it is.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
The fifteen minute morning show podcast A little snaggle toothed
today because we're missing a few people. Nate and Scottie
b are out. They're both deathly ill, deathly ill.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
But the rest of us made it in.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
There's Danielle and Scotty and Gandhi and I see Garrett
is here and whoever else wants to stop by. So
where do we go with the podcast today?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
What's on your mind? That's really it's really making you
want to get it off your chest.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I really love the balloons in this studio. They're so pretty.
Thanks forgetting them purpose, I love them.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You want to go ahead and get a shot of

Know, I'm I'm seeing it's impossible for an animal or
an animal an.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Insect to crawl into a fig.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
But they're saying that they all are crunchy because of
they're all getting bugs in them.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yes, I don't know if this is true or not,
but this is from Planet natural dot com. It said
since wasps pollinate the majority of commercially grown figs, yes,
edible figs do include at least one dead female wasp.
They said, when it dies inside the fig, an enzyme
known as bison in the fig breaks down the carcass
into protein.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, here's Tom Kelly, Tom Kelly, open a fig. Do
you see any Yes?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (06:36):
I have fresh figs off the fig tree at my.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Irish father's house.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
A shop right sticker on it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Irish figs. Never heard of that.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Well, I'm half Italian, my sicilia.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I don't know why I'm putting the fig into the microphone,
but that's a good thing.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
According to Gandhi's research. There's a dead animal in there.
There's a dead insect.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
That's part of the tree. It's part of the excitement.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Wait a second, I've never seen a green fig. Every
fig that I've ever eaten was purple green fish.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Is a white fig is what they would call them.
This is so good. You ever had one? Have you
ever had a fresh one? Gone?
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I have?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
We picked one off of a tree in Singapore.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And take your tongue in there. Oh, scary, so good.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So he knew it was just a matter of time
to come down and bring your figs. I'm so glad
you brought fig I'm sorry I'm not there in the
studio to enjoy the figs with you.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
That's right, you know what it is. It's just a
week for figs right now. My my grandfather used to
say that they were best the first week, and they
are and uh, you know, that's just life, my friend.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
But I love him.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
This is the only Italian thing I still do like.
Scary was saying on the show yesterday about all the
neighbors that wrap up fig trees and stuff like that. Uh,
that's what I used to do with my Italian grandfather.
And now you know, Grandpa passed away, and my dad
lets me keep a fig tree at his house and
it's you know, it's.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It's a nice, nice story.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
And then Nate told me to bring him down. He's
not here well anyway, and these are great if you
eat them, they cling it out. Oh great, Yeah, Like
that's why I wasn't here.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
A little bit earlier. I was the train. The express
train came to the station.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
We call that sh yourself special, and that's what they are.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That's that's what they say, an Italian scary scary sharding
his pants.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Right now, I'm on the second one. Hey, aren't you
on strike?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Tom Kelly?
Speaker 7 (08:26):
I think so, so I should probably get out of here.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
They haven't figured that out yet.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Right now, I'm on it's a I'm sag after so,
I'm on a partial strike.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
I can't do a movie. But nobody was calling that anyway,
so no one wanted to between on strike and unemployed.
And I am sweet spot.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
We we as well are sag After, but were we
do not strike and that's they won't let us strike.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's weird.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Did you guys about the strike that s n L
can come back technically, but they won't probably probably in
solidarity with the act like they really Yeah, they fall
under the talk show category pretty much.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
But how they come back without actors.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
Well, they can come back with the writers strike. I'm
obsessive about it, and you just tell me when I'm
talking too much. But uh, sag After is really two
unions with ninety different contracts. So you can work on
a radio show even though you're sag After. You can
work on a daytime talk show if you are an actor,
but if you were in a movie that's on at night,
you can be on the daytime talk show, but you're
(09:27):
not allowed to talk about the movie you did at night.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So they're saying Saturday Night Live, as Garrett was saying,
is more of a talk show, yes, segment talking.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Okay, yeah, okay, So no, My question was more just
who would act out the scripts.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
The actors who are in sag After because you are
not on strike for acting on Saturday Night.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Live, and plus a lot of the actors are writers
and the writers thing just got cleared up.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
So that's a lot of those shows like Jimmy Fallon,
Drew Barrymore, they were all on strike in solidarity with
their writers, rather than being on strike as actors, which
are on strength.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Good call me, we don't have riders on our show.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
God, it's obvious we don't.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Speaking of. Are those figs going? Are they nice and tasty?
Speaker 7 (10:11):
I'm a little upset that Gandhi won't eat one. It's
like that's sort of an Italian insult. You have to
like pretend to like one per year.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Okay, give me one off for ten. I like, I
don't like fig.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Do you have issues? Don't eat it?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You eat Gandhi? You don't let him pressure you pressure.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
I'll look at it.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I don't want to waste it. Give it to the
people who like it. Scary loves us Garrett.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, well, how come your grandfather's figs are from Shopwright
the grocery store.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
I don't get Okay, So this is what I learned
last year, and again this is my only like non comedy,
non showbiz, non radio related hobby is growing this fig tree.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Last year I realized I.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Was spending more on zip block boxes to give people
figs they didn't want to eat.
Speaker 8 (10:49):
Then I was making all year like.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
So now what I've been doing is and this is
what the old Italians used to do too, is you'd
save all your pieces of plastic and then you put
the figs in that it's recycling. But in the old
days they would call that just being cheap.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, we've covered a lot to so yeah, I did
not see.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
The carcass inside that fig when they opened it, but
apparently the fison in the fig dissolves it.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
So so here's one that's sad. Is like, I picked
the very best figs because you guys are my close
friends and I want to impress you. When I get
down to the relatives, sometimes I'll give them a fig
and they'll open it up and ants will come out. Yeah,
and then they'll make faces and I'm like, but that's
how you know it's fresh, it's organic and there's no pesticides.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
First, ants don't want it unless it's fresh.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
No, you know what I eat the ones with the ants, Danielle,
because the one with the ants taste better. You know
they're good because the ants want to eat it.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
And then what do you you have ants in your.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Stomach right, and maybe that's why I was just in
the bathroom late for the podcast.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
The figs are very underrated. I'm very happy that we
had this.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
This is really sad. This is really sad.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
But the other thing is like sometimes the birds will
like take a bite, and you know those are the
good ones because the birds saw it from up high
and they took a bite.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
And I'll eat the half that the bird didn't eat.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
See you had the leftovers of other animals. You know
that they know better than we know. I love that. Well,
this has been very interesting fig talk only we have
writers exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
We got to get out of here. Thanks for joining
our fifteen minute morning show podcast. I don't even know
how long it was, doesn't matter. We're eating figs. Goodbye, everyone,
say goodbye bye.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Would you take them home?
