Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
Firm Hi Elvis presents fifteen Minute Morning Show. Here we
go the fifteen Minute Morning Show podcast. In Detroit, the wonderful,
beautiful Gandhi, in suburban New Jersey, the fabulous Danielle, and

(00:27):
of course in Master Control in New York City is
Scary and we have Straighten Eate and Scotty b and Garrett.
And then in Jacksonville, the home of the Fighting Jags
and fighting Jag fans. It's a froggy Hi, guys, Hey,
what do you want to get into today? Any thoughts
about today's show? You want to move on with? Wrapped

(00:49):
up talking about jeeps. We wrapped up talking about this
strange fish that I had never heard of before, Higher Life.
I don't know anybody want to dive into the thing is?
The jeep thing is stressful And I know Gandhi can
attest to this because she's had a Jeep and Nate
didn't you have one to a one time? I still
own one. You want to see it? Yes, I do

(01:09):
like a fake jeep like, okay, so it's lift. I
don't drive a Geep ahead, but my wife has one,
so sometimes her car will be blocking mine in the
driveway or whatever, and so I'll just say, hey, I'm
gonna run up to the store real quick and I'll
grab her jeep. It is the most stressful damn thing.
Number One, there's ducks flying all over the car. They

(01:31):
get to put back and they're supposed to be in
a certain order. Number Two. If you don't wave at
somebody who passes you in a jeep or you make
eye contact with, they think you're an asshole. But I
don't drive the jeep, so I forget, I don't know
this and I'm not trying to be here. Then you're
an asshole, cheap asshole. But also we hear that it's
it is kind of exclusive to the wagon ear drivers er,

(01:56):
I mean the rank the wrangler drivers, and they don't
they don't want you to wave with them unless you
too have a wrangler, right right, Yeah, it is. It's
really a thing, and it's it can be as simple
as like your hands on the steering wheel. You just
do this, you know, like that your hands on the
steering wheel just some sort of recognition. But I can
tell you froggy having given the wave and not giving

(02:16):
the way back. Sometimes you're busy. But if you do
have that sour puss look on your face, I'm like,
fuck you. Okay, but is there a rule with like
your tops down where you're supposed to be. Somebody also
said you have the teetops off, or you have the
top of the done, you just put your hand up.
There's too many rules. No. I generally just lifted my
hand off off a wheel, but yeah, it was supposed

(02:37):
to be a lift. But like to two fingers, like
a piece of just like they're like, oh, you're new,
you don't know what you're doing. Why can't we just
drive our car? You know? No, no you can't as
long as it's not a jeep. But I'm gonna walk
to the store next time. I don't even want to drive,
just walk, like forget. But there's like all if you
kind of dig into the whole jeep world. There's stickers,

(02:59):
there's license plates literally say it's a jeep thing. But
that's the that's the phrase, and it really is kind
of a culture. I always felt like a jerk driving
actually the same kind of car that I have. I
want to speed away. I don't want to be near
the same car right, just get away from me. And
like I said earlier, if I see the same Axact

(03:19):
car coming towards me or near me, I make it
make it a purpose not to acknowledge them. I make
it a point rather not to acknowledge them. I don't
want them to know that I'm looking at the same car.
And I kind of see the point though, because like, Okay,
a Toyota Corolla great. Everybody and their brother has one
of those things. But like now, as a truck owner,
I own a Toyota Tacoma, I would feel like other

(03:41):
Tacoma people would be like a fellow brethren, and I
could I could give some kind of a wave. Nothing there, nothing.
I don't see all embarrassed that, Danielle, I see I have.
I have a Mini Cooper as well. Mini Coopers to me,
that seems like the perfect car to be in a
on club with. Oh yeah, because because Mini Coopers are fine.

(04:02):
I mean I smile every time I drive my Mini.
There was something with the Mini Coopers. Yeah, he has one.
I have no idea to have that. Does he Does
he interact with other Cooper owners? I don't know. Other
Mini owners I'm not sure are Maxie Cooper. I don't
think so. Coopers just move on. Okay, in New York,

(04:33):
you guys can't see it. But as we started the podcast,
all these people started walking around. I guess potential new
tenants for this this floor that we're on. So they're
all walking around with blueprints. Right now, I'm pointing, and
it's kind of weird, like, uh, they were trying to
come in here. They kept pushing on the door, and
I just ignored it. Yet it's weird though. I Mean,

(04:56):
I remember one time I had my house on the
market and I would sit there and listen. It's good
not to be home when people look at your house,
right because you hear what they say. I was home
listening to these two women in my kitchen making fun
of the kitchen they didn't like, and I'm like, fuck
you, you you know what you should I don't want them

(05:16):
in my house when I'm still here, and I don't.
I don't want these people walking around our offices trying
to push on the door. Get them out of here.
And then they say what they're gonna do, like they're like, oh,
if when we own this house, we're gonna blow this
out of it. And then you walk into knop nop
n you can't have it. Put that wall there, You
can't take that wall down. Can not happen. These other
two women walked into my always got two dishwashers. He
must be kosher. I just have a lot of dishes. Sorry,

(05:42):
I mean that's being kosher is a better story. You
know you always have two dishwashers. What is it because
you don't ever empty the dishwasher. No, because there's not
enough room for three. Just rich. That's why not at
all dishwashers aren't They expecially have one dishwashers. Her name
is Lisa. My gu My rule is this, if you

(06:08):
can't throw it in the dishwasher, don't buy it. If
it's something, if it's a hand wash only thing, I
don't want to own it. Even and even then those
will go into the dishwasher. I love dishwashers, but I
will I will sometimes if I need a cathartic moment
with myself, I will sometimes wash my dishes. I washed
them and then throw them in the dishwasher. I pre
washed them. I don't just take dirty dishes and just

(06:31):
throw them in there. And my girlfriends like, what are
you doing? You have a dishwasher for a reason, and
I'm like, no, I don't want grime and grease, so
I have to, like I literally like put the plates
on their hot water and then put them in the dishwasher.
That it is bad because some some dishwashers have sensors
on them where they they sense food and they scrub
it hard enough to get the food off. Is that

(06:51):
what you heard to Gandhi? Yeah, and if you don't
do that, then you're not getting them as thoroughly cleaned
as you probably should have them cleaned by leaving that
stuff on there. You know what you're doing. Scary. You're
basically washing your car before you take it through the
car wash, is what you're doing? Does that too? No,
I don't. I don't do that. But no, now you
got me thinking this is food for thought. Well, people
don't understand the dishwashers are to a point, they are

(07:14):
there to dispose of any food particles as well. But
here's the thing, um. Out here in Santa Fe, we
have a water shortage, so rinsing your dishes and then
putting them in a dishwasher, it's like, oh, that's a no.
Not here. And apparently dishwashers are better for the environment
as well. Because they have a controlled amount of water
versus when you're doing dishes yourself, you usually just let

(07:35):
that water run for way longer and it will be
more water than your dishwasher. Well that's what the dishwashing
and commercials say. Oh well I heard that from the
dishwasher makers also, so it's probably a probably, it's probably
very real. Scary Scotty b has like to satan horns
on his hair. Accurate, stop it the scary. Next time

(08:00):
you do dishes, don't rinse them and just put them
in and I mean don't leave. Say I want to
see if it gets clean still whatever you can put
in a like a doggy bag. You want to take
off that plate, you know, you know, if it's like
full of food, you want to get rid of some
of that food. All you don't have to rinse them all.
Wait a minute, hang on my whole life. I thought

(08:21):
you're supposed to wash it before you put it in
the dishwashing. Apparently back up you can. I mean, we're
not telling you're a bad person, gandhi is I'm not.
So it's okay to take the place and just if
you dump whatever falls off in the garbage can and
take it right from there. Never run water on and
put it right in the difference right away not what

(08:41):
we said. You can take a fork and like just
get all the get all the particles off. But you
don't have to put a clean dish into a dishwasher.
You rinse water over it said, like let loose water
run whatever runs off. You don't need to. You don't
have to. They're saying, you don't have to. I mean
big chunks of food. Again, if it's something you have
to scrape off with your fork, then yeah, you want
to scrape it off with your fork, but you don't

(09:01):
want to like sit there and scrape a lot. If
you're gonna run it right away, sure, but if it's
gonna sit in the dishwasher for three or four days,
take on. Don't do soak ahead of time? And who
and who the hell does that? I do? But here's
there's always a soak option that like will soak the
plates beforehand before like, yeah, course it's an option. It's

(09:23):
a soak. Really some of them do at some I
guess you need a better dishwasher. Have you guys ever
cleaned out the trap? Have you cleaned out the trap
and the dishwasher. Dishwasher. Oh, it's just scary. Do go
home Instagram as you will vomit. You will vomit. You
can make, you can make dinner. It's a colander. It's
a calendar of food at the bottom of your dish

(09:46):
I've been I can't wait. Please have you ever seen
have you ever seen the one in your washing machine?
Oh my god, there were bobby pins and pennies and
panties in there. There was a why is it that?
Like when you have a front load washing machine, that
little rim gets so disgussed. I do when it's not working,

(10:09):
No matter what I do, I one online, I'm YouTube
every Let me tell you that's where socks go when
there's only one sock. Sometimes it's in the it's in
the little strainer. And you know, it's like it's like
the front load washing machine. That rim that things get
stuck under. It's like the uncircumcised washing machine. It is
all sorts of stuff is getting all crammed under there.
You gotta then you gotta lick your fingers like clean.

(10:34):
We got rid of our at least they got rid
of our front loader for that reason. It was always
growing mold and it smells and everything else. She's like,
out of here. So we got we went back to there.
I will never buy a front loader. Front loaders are
bad news. Ever, I don't like it either. Front you're
a front loader, bad a top loader. He's a top loader.

(10:56):
I'm a speed queen. Washer and dryer here doesn't know
what it is because he's sends its laundryette. No, I
guess I have a front loader because they're on the side.
You just know that the front, the front, the front,
right in the front. You don't even know you top loader,
don't it's Brooklyn. Why why didn't they just say that

(11:17):
clothes get cleaner from the front loader than the It's
it's proven fact because there's no tumbler in the middle,
so the clothes can spin. Yeah, I had not heard that.
Heard that. So you do get a better wash, You
do get a better wash technically, but then you also
have the problem of the mold and the rim, and
that the tumbler actually helps with the cleaning because it's
like your clothes are beating up against something like the

(11:38):
old days in the river. Yeah. This just in Elvis. Uh.
Mini Cooper owners flash lights at each other. No, no, no,
because you. They tell you if you flash your lights
will come kill you. Yes, that's like gang stuff in California.
I'm not gonna flash signs at my Mini Cooper, all right,
so scary, please go home and empty the trap from

(12:01):
your from your dishwasher. It's gonna be clean. You know
why because I pre washed my dishes before. You know.
That is a very good point, I know. But anyway,
you know, in other words, you just do you you honey,
You do your dishes and your front loading anytime anyway
you want. I thought you'd ever use your dishwasher because
you have stuff in there. No. No, my dishwasher I
use every day. It's my it's my h what is it?

(12:22):
The washing machine and the dryer? Hold on, final way,
wait wait wait, hold on. You use your dishwasher every
day three to three times a week, much for one
person times a week. But I do use my washing
machine as a filing cabinet. Yeah, that's where I put

(12:43):
all my papers. And have you ever used your washing
machine one time? Have? Yeah? Back in the day. But
then I'm like sitting there like why am I wasting
time on this when I know hold on, hold on,
you keep your paperwork in your dishwasher. In your washing machine,
you do have a frontloader front Yeah, taxes on every
washing machine could be kind of funny. We're contract. Oh

(13:06):
it's in the washer, it's in the wash. What would
happen if you accidentally turned it on? Oh my gosh?
All right? Have we uh? Have this exhausted? Every square
inch of this? Speaking of the exhaust, have you ever
cleaned the exhaust over the stove? Yes? The grease traps

(13:26):
up there. Absolutely, Yeah, I've never Yes. Mini owners waved
to each other, waving highs, a time honor tradition that
dates back to our birth in the UK. Is a
small way to remember we're not alone on the road.
It's sweet. Not gonna do it. I don't tracking me
down and slicing my throat. God, have a beautiful day
