Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Fine Elvis Present fifteen Morning Show. Hey guys, it's the
fifty minute Morning Show podcast with Gandhi and Skeary and

(00:25):
Scottie b And there's Nate and there's Danielle and Garrett.
How are you feeling?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
How do you?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
How do we do?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
On the Monday Show today? It was pretty good.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
It was a great show.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, it's a great show. It just feed me a
lot of crap, aren't you?

Speaker 5 (00:39):
For a Monday. I feel like we we cruised through
it pretty well. And I also think we learned something today.
We never plan things. We always just do it. We
tried to plan something today it got all fucked up.
So I think we should never rehearse or plan and
with it we need.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
To learn our lessons.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (00:55):
Another observation on the Monday Show is normally a typical
Monday's like it's Monday, and not one person really said
that today at all.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
No, you know what, I think.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
We've been tackling Mondays pretty well. It's the Wednesday Show.
I'm a little worried about. Everyone's in a good mood.
We had great weekends. It's a beautiful sunny day out
here at the bar.

Speaker 7 (01:14):
Oh, can I say what I did yesterday? I don't
know if anybody's ever encountered this. So Heather night, you
take your hat off. I can't see your eyes. I
did this, Heather, and I is like Gomer pile.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
You and Heather did what.

Speaker 7 (01:31):
We decided to walk across the Tappanzee Bridge, right. People
call it the Mario Cuomo Bridge, it's the Tapenzee Bridge anyway.
It's roughly four and a half miles across. So we
walk across it and we're like, fuck, that was long.
That's uber back.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Over the bridge. You ubered over the bridge.

Speaker 7 (01:50):
It was so warm, it was it was honestly a
long walk. I didn't expect it to be that long.
And it was like you're on the bridge, right, you
can't get off, you can't call an uber no, and
there's only only so much to see exactly, And then
we're gonna walk across the same bridge on the way back.
And it was really hot. There was nobody selling water
along the way. How I'm like, this is ridiculous, let's

(02:13):
call on it.

Speaker 8 (02:13):
That's what I like like to walk across, like the
Brooklyn bridges that there's always like little little things set
up where you can buy arts and cracks.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
And also there's something it's also cool on the end
of the Brooklyn Bridge. Yes, zappen z Bridge.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Well wed to walk.

Speaker 7 (02:28):
Another zero point nine miles according to my Google to
Nayak to get water.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
It's too far to walk. Yeah, what's up, scotty be.

Speaker 9 (02:39):
I've also noticed at the base of the bridge here
in the city, when I'm driving to Brooklyn over either
the Manhattan Bridge or the Williamsburg Bridge, there are people
set up with little They just sitting in a chair
and they have a little box and they walk in
traffic and they're selling little ziploc bags of cut up
mango and watermelon.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, who, what do you mean? It's the best.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
It's the best because it's usually like the smaller fruits
is not the big organic or the big grocery like
GMO fruits.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh way better. It's like dirty cut up in their
kitchen with a rusty knife.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Buy it.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I'm not who would eat that people.

Speaker 7 (03:11):
I actually thought about that the other day too, because
I was walking through the city and there was somebody
set up with a bag of mango and I'm like,
do they have a certificate for the Department of Health, Like, no.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
It doesn't. There's different rules that apply.

Speaker 7 (03:24):
Why not.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
They've got to higher traffic letter grades like everything else
does they have?

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I know, but you know, if you're a street vendor,
you have to have a license to operate. They're not
a real vendor, they just walk in traffic. Well, no,
a vendor to me is someone who sells shit in
public a license for that week.

Speaker 8 (03:40):
You have to have some sort of a license or
if you get rusted, you're.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
But then then you see stories about towns and police
departments that come down against kids selling lemonade in the
front yard, Like really.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Oh, that's another thing.

Speaker 7 (03:53):
So we were walking there and there was this girl,
this little girl that had lemonade set up and wanted
two dollars a glass and they were.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Little Dixie cups.

Speaker 7 (04:03):
I'm like, two dollars for this much lemonade.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Keep the fuck out.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
If she had asked a quarter, you would have given
her five dollars.

Speaker 6 (04:12):
Well, yeah, so Elvis might stupid stupid little kid. My
son and our neighbor built a lemonade stand and one
day they set out a shop in front of our
house and they made almost three hundred bucks because people
would be like, oh, here, keep the ten, and they're like, no,
here's the change.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
They're like no, they take the five.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Usually what happens, Well, that's the thing. If they charged
two dollars, people just bit him and they wouldn't give
him anything. They'd say, fuck you, I'm not gonna eat
drink her stupid lemonade. But that's all. It's all country
time anyway. Yeah, exact.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
Kids are going to grow up thinking that's how businesses
are run. And I'm like, no, people just don't give
you money and say keep that they want their change.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Well, you're cute.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
They only do it to kids.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
By the way, we all have Scary for a second.
So Nate just said he walked almost five miles across
a bridge and then he took an uber back. Scary goes,
Oh you pulled it, Scary, you didn't. You'll never walk
four miles across a.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Bridge than that. He would take an uber.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
You're right, but four and a half miles.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, it was a long way.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Duly noted.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
I will say the other day we went to dinner,
Scary Andrew myself, and at the end of it, Andrew
and I decided we were going to walk home. Scary
wanted to get an uber home, so of course we
waited for him so that he could get in the
uber and we knew he was safe to go. It
took way longer for the uber to arrive than it
would have taken him to just walk home. We were like,
are you sure I don't want to walk just walk home?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Hell no, fuck no, I don't do that.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I was like, okay, we.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Had a run down Danielle's uber the other night too.

Speaker 8 (05:33):
Oh my gosh. It was kept passing us. And thank
gosh for your Garrett because he was so kind the
other night at the end of Summer Bash. He stayed
with me and waited for my uber to get there
and made sure I got in it and chased it
down for me.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
What a gentleman, Very nice guy. You're a good guy.

Speaker 8 (05:51):
Well, there has been a time where I was I
think it was with you and Andrew Gandhi, and we
were in somebody's hallway and the uber passed by, took
one look at us and.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Kept going, Yes, I would have as well, Yeah, I
wouldn't trust you in my uba.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Not much does it cost to build a bridge like billions, millions.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Millions, I would say hundreds of million, hundreds of millions.
It depends on the bridge. Why why do you want
to build one? What do you want to build? The
ikea thing? You can build a bridge, Yes.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
Exactly, I would like to build a bridge. I want
a pedestrian bridge between Jersey City or Hoboken and the city.
I would like to be able to just walk. It's
so freaking close. It's just across the river. I walk
more than that every day, but I have to go
through this supid Holland Tunnel Lincoln Tunnel, breathe in all
the fumes. It takes hours. No thanks.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Have you ever aren't they talking about that though? Scary?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Are they?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Though?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Possibility?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
There's so many vessels and things that that travel up
the Hunts and make it higher.

Speaker 7 (06:46):
Have you ever seen, like I guess, for lack of
a better expression, third world countries where they have a
bridge over a river and it's literally two ropes and yeah,
it's like they put their feet on the one rope
and they hang on to the gandy.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Would do that across the Hudson?

Speaker 5 (06:59):
Would we crossed the Hudson that way? As opposed to
the Holland Tunnel where you sit for like forty five
minutes for no reason.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
We had this situation in Singapore. I had to cross
it with a chain link rickety bridge.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I'm like, this thing was like rickety and it was
across a body of water, Like, where are we going?

Speaker 7 (07:14):
No?

Speaker 3 (07:15):
I don't want to walk.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
I'm scary. That's that Scary needs a very very high
level of comfort. Otherwise he feels like he's going to
die my feet.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Is that too much to ask?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
So a rope bridge will get us across the high ridges?

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Hold on?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Hold on? Do you sound like a grandmother? I just
grounded to my feet? Is that too much?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
The bridge and the ropes that you hold on to,
we're all rickety, and I'm like, I don't want to
walk scariness.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Here's here's how I think about those things Before I
do them. Think about the hundreds of thousands of people
that did it before you. They all survived.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
You'll be the lucky one, though, So.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
What makes you different? Exactly what Garrett said? What if
I'm the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Speaker 8 (07:59):
Well you definitely he would break the capitals down.

Speaker 6 (08:02):
So Gandhi, they are considering that someone drew up plans
for a five thousand foot long structure dubbed the Liberty Bridge,
crossing the Hudson River into Lower Manhattan.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Will never happen, Yeah, I will never.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
I wanted to happen. Can we start of go fund
me and make it?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
But iff can build a bridge, should it be?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
That would be really cool to have that. You know, originally,
you know in the original gosh, what was the guy's
name that was the city engineer that came up with
all the highways, Robert Moses, Yes, Robert Moses. A big problem.
If you're in New Yorker, you understand this is getting
across the island. Let's say you're in New Jersey. You
want to go to Brooklyn. You have to go through

(08:39):
lights and all sorts of things if you're going straight
through the Manhattan. They originally had a plan for a
bridge all the way over Manhattan. They never did it.
They never did it, and god, that would come in
handy you bypassed Canal Street is what you do, and
that'd be awesome.

Speaker 9 (08:57):
Hell yeah, there was a plan for to have a
bridge from Long Island to Connecticut too, which is just
above it, but it never happened, and now you have
to go all the way around. It takes three hours.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Let's build bridges, guys. Let's change our career. We will
now become bridge builders, and we'll make billions. After we
spend the billions, we'll make the billions back.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
It'll be free. I would I wouldn't trust any bridge
that I had something to do with you and the
thing it has to do with engineering. You don't want
to trust that.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
A few months ago, I was doing a radio station
appearance right under the Brooklyn Bridge, and I sat there
for two hours and stared at this modern marvel.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I'm like thinking about how.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Robbling and these people and the eighteen.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Hundreds built this thing without without the technology that we
have today. And I'm just like just I was in
awe of it for two hours, just staring at the
Brooklyn Bridge.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
That's what you got paid for. No, No, I'm just diapers.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
It was eight the eighteen eighties when it was built, right,
sevent eighteen seventies whatever.

Speaker 7 (09:56):
How many people got the bends while they were doing that,
tam scary and died scary?

Speaker 1 (10:01):
You know what? That was the eighteen eighties. You should
take a little trip over to Egypt. And look at
those pyramids. Yeah, it's insane, But you know, how did.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
They do what they did with the tools that they
had available to them Because they were smart.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
What happened?

Speaker 8 (10:16):
They didn't know anything else.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Well, there were people like us back in the day
that could not have done that, But we have people
today that could do it still, not us. I wouldn't trust.
I wouldn't let my dogs sleep in a doghouse that
I built.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
I'm still worried about that wall unit I built for
my Kia. I'm like, well, the bridge though, extra pieces.
Those extra pieces have to be for something. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
By the way, what is the benz? I always thought
I was diarrhea.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
No, it's rickets is different.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
The bens is not the bends.

Speaker 7 (10:49):
Yeah, it's the pressure change. They would go down into
the water and then I can't remember the name of it,
but it's got too much nitrogen in your blood or
something like that, and you to.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Scuba diverse, get it. If you come up too fast,
you have to go really really slowly with your body
adjust can collapse.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
We lost my logo.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
You change shade, you're completely colored.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
The great powerful eyes when you might be right scary
isn't rickets?

Speaker 3 (11:16):
The bend might be the bends.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I thought it was something different.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
You think vitamin D deficiency, No it's not. It is
it is rickets is a vitamin D deficient.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yes, it is bends. That's scurvy, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Rickets is bowed legs?

Speaker 7 (11:31):
What the rickets is a condition that causes weak bones?

Speaker 8 (11:37):
And isn't that because of the vitamin D deficient?

Speaker 7 (11:39):
Yes, dietary deficiency.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
You know what they say. We all need more D
in our lives.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Scurvy, Hold on, what's scurvy?

Speaker 7 (11:47):
Now that's the vitamin C deficiency. And your guns start
to bleed in your tall the pirates disease turned yellow.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Hello, don't strikes again.

Speaker 9 (11:59):
It on.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
We gotta get out of here. Have a beautiful day,
Love you, bye everybody.
