(01:33):
anything until you come back sit in my lap. We
have a standoff. We have a standoff right now. I'm
just sitting next to me. Why are you being such
a big woos? Sit down? You've made two minutes of
our lives all about this. And the only reason why
I sat there because I didn't think we were going
to show up. See now I know who breaks your
chair every day. It's scary. You didn't even touch the knob.

(01:57):
You're halfway to the second alright, so so far it's
a show about absolutely. It's good anyway. So it's great
to have Lauren here. Lauren, I don't know if you
know what. Lauren worked with us for many years back
in the day. Then she flew out of the nest
and did her own show up in Boston across the
street from Gandhi. Yes, and they knew each other back then.

(02:18):
It's just, you know, we all kind of do each
other in this. Yeah, it's a very very small business.
It doesn't feel like it. When Elvis didn't made that
fleeting expletive, Lauren goes, oh, yeah, I'm not used to
cursing in a studio. I was like, what is it?
We can the Laura is a worse mouth than I do. Yes, yeah,

(02:44):
that's bad. They're both pretty bad. God, you don't use
foul language that much. I've noticed not really. I say
foul things, but I try to keep it without the
curse words. You do. You know she'll talk about all
sorts of things, but not use the explatives. What about you,
Scotty B. How's your foul language meter? I mean, do

(03:04):
you I try not to curse as much as possible
because of the kids, so I do my best too.
You know. It's funny because I'll see people in public.
We were at the beach last week and this lady's like,
I don't fucking care about it. It's fucking ship, you know,
sitting next to us, and I was with my daughter.
I'm like, dude, you're so trashy. Shut up. So I try.
You know, I noticed when people curse, so I try
not to do it myself. She's saying, cursing people their

(03:27):
own attractive in my trash No, but when you're when
you're out in public in front of people like that,
give a ship, then yes, I think you're trashy. Lauren asks,
Am I lets I'll take a vote. Is Lauren trashy.
Absolutely not Uncle Johnny. Is Lauren trashy? No, she's not trashy. Garrett,

(03:48):
is she trashy? Yes? Yeah, I vote yes to class.
I know where she's from, the malls that she used
to hang out, and the malls you're hanging out and
determines whether than you're gonna use foul language later in life. Seriously,
the area used to it. I'm not I'm not gonna
say you drunk. No, I'm not gonna. I don't want to.

(04:08):
I don't want to insert my foot in my mouth.
You you fought for your seat. Now you're sitting there
doing nothing, not contributing to the show. You're the camera.
I don't know Lauren that well, but she's not that
trashy from what I've come from. Curse in front of
my child. So I guess there's like one no, but

(04:29):
you know what I gotta say, I've heard good things
about a Boda box. So yeah. So wait, if you
drink boxed wine, scary has determined you are trash, you
might as well have an above ground. I have always
associated boxed zinfandel specifically with I'm sorry, that's just my

(04:50):
At what age is it okay to curse in front
of your child. Oh, Daniel is already there. My mom
said that she didn't start cursing until we came along.
That like my son's nineteen, I I cursed him with
him and all all the time. I mean, my mother
rarely ever cursed. And then would she get mad at me?
She goes, fuck, I don't use that word too. Obviously

(05:15):
you do because you did yesterday my son left something
laying on the counter, and I mean, I wasn't mad.
I just go, hey, yo, who's gonna throw this ship away?
What do you think you think you're on the maid?
And my wife, cost Lisa says, why did you have
to curse at him? I'm like, that wasn't really cursing
at him. That was like, who's going to throw this
ship away? Like that's it's not at him. That's more
like having a conversation. You didn't say, who's going to
shot away? Right? I don't curse at them because I

(05:39):
want to be mean to I, like like you said
in conversation. Yeah, and they just accepted as normal. Dad.
Laura is still like perplexed that we're in front of
a microphone using these words were not to okay? Well,
we'll move on to we've we've we've exhausted this conversation.
I say, why Lauren is classy. I think we all
need to know. Yes, we're all looking for something. So

(06:01):
when we were working across the street from each other
in Boston, I was always told that Lauren and her
co host were our mortal enemies, that we cannot mingle
with them, we cannot talk to them. They are our competition,
They're coming for us. So I was like, Okay, they
must be really mean people. I ran into Lauren once
in public and she approached me and was so nice

(06:23):
and friendly and sweet, and she was like, oh, you
guys are doing a great job over there. It was
exactly opposite of everything that I had been told, and
my mind was blown. She's such a sweet person and
I've just loved her ever since. We address that and
she is fabulous. That's why we love her, Lauren, She's
always going to be a member of our family. In
this business we're in, there is a point where, and

(06:43):
you've been in these kind of fights before frog where
you feel like there is a fight with competition, and
then one day you wake up and go, we're all
doing the same thing. We're all okay, there's no reason
to like screw your competition. It doesn't help. I looked
at it here a lot like thefl teams. Like a
guy's on one team one year, and then he's on
another team the next year, and it's like, wait a second,

(07:05):
you hated that guy last year. Now he's on your team.
You're all playing the same sport, we're all doing the
same thing. We're just doing it on different radio stations.
But we don't hate each other. And you get to
a point where it's is that really what matters? It's
tax like like like a friend of mine used to
be the CEO of a big, huge, huge billion dollar company,
and he said that if he saw the competing CEO

(07:25):
drowning in the pond, he would go over and put
his foot on his head and push him on. You know,
you know, Jeff Bezos. I remember when I first started radio,
we had a rival radio station across the street, as
they used to say and still do, and they would

(07:46):
like steal our van and like break windows and like
sabotage when we had tense set up and stuff like that,
sabotage that it doesn't make your ratings any and I'm
like anymore. When I first started working here, okay, we
did an event and Scotty be remembers this. It was
called Radio Night at the beginning of the Hamptons. It

(08:07):
was at the Hampton's Night and it was the biggest
club in the Hamptons and every radio station from all
the companies were invited as an open house. We all
went and we were told we have to bring the biggest,
the tallest, like inflatables, the biggest, trust, the forest story
high free money Monkey, the King Kong masketblast everywhere now

(08:29):
t shirts with pride and that's the Unfortunately, it was
engraved in my head War Girl that I almost ran
over the promotions director from Katu when we were different companies.
I remember Susan Bassett. She was standing in the street
on Fort Street in front of the hard Rock Cafe
for some big event we were doing that. She was
holding the spot for her van and I was like,

(08:50):
screw you that, I'm gonna park here, and I went
and I nudged her with the umber and then she
came in. Then we all worked together. I love her.
I'm committed a crime. He just admitted to a crime. Now,
the Statute of limitations. But I'm telling you, in the
gram scheme of things, all these radio fights, you did

(09:11):
not get any higher ratings. But you didn't. The only
reason you gotta higher ratings in the competition is because
you were better than that. And Gandhi show was when
I worked in Tampa. We did screw the queue. We
took their logo and put a screw through it. We
made t shirts. You know, you repositioned them because they
were a weak radio stage and we did awful things
to them, which I feel bad about. That's your same

(09:32):
program director from then then came into New York not
that long ago and tried to program against me and
said Elvis Ranch too old to do that job. Our
ratings went up and they were blown into oblivion. Did
not work for them, but you know we were much
better than them, right, so fuck you would whatever they
not not anything instead of you know, having this mortal enemy.

(09:55):
I was bummed out because Laurens so cool. I'm like, man,
I miss out on a really cool person for a
little while. Likewise, well, friends, now, okay, you were working
for a guy who wanted to be mean to people. Yeah,
we hated each other at our show far more than yeah,
within the business, and we all agree that there are
really no fights. But listeners think it's like Anchorman. The

(10:15):
scene an Anchorman where everybody comes into a big brawl
and starts fighting with each other. When people here like
okay to use in the same building, like what you
get along with them? You know them? No, everybody thinks
we're about to go fight with No. I think also,
these are the radio stations. If you don't say anything
to them, it's worse totally. What do you mean they're

(10:36):
not retaliating. What do you mean they're not saying nasty
things about us? Makes it worse. It eats them, eats
away at them. You go in every day and you
no matter what business you're in, you do you You
do what you want to do, and it may work,
it may not work. Knock on from mic or whatever
this is it is working right, you know, but just
do what you do. There is no competition. Our only

(10:58):
competition is us standing in our own way of being
great at what we do. There, you go there, you
go deep. He just stared off into an abyss. He's like, Wow,
here's that food hangover. I know that. Look, that's the
food hangover. Scary scary. Your lip is sweaty. We had

(11:24):
three minutes. I think we're done that morning show. We
kind of months ago we said if we run out
of gas, we just ended. We don't have to try
and make it fifteen minutes Uncle Johnny for a moment,
and then we'll head out. Uncle Johnny, thank you for

(11:45):
coming in today making a clocktail. Oh no, I enjoyed
it and I love it. I was great seeing Laurie,
you know, but when I came here years ago, I
everybody that was here was a lot of them are
gone now and that was that was great back then.
And then I'm meeting all the new people and everything.

(12:07):
It's it's incredible and Gandhi being great coming on now.
But you know, Johnny is just in the bar business.
You had people coming and going all the time. That's
just the way. That's true. It comes and goes. But
this is this is a great family. You were at
that bar first six woe. Yeah, I got a lot

(12:28):
of years behind me, and maybe if you ahead of
you and uh more ahead of it now. Well, I'm
at the end of the ladder, not the beginning. We
should just kill you now, get it over. You need
him sell alive. This is hell. So you were so
vodka pickled. You're gonna be around forever, Uncle Johnny. Oh yeah,

(12:51):
I don't know about that. The hopital for the first
time we have the recording of him. Am I dead?
Ye of my dad? Now I'm going to find the secret?
Lay there. Uncle Johnny and I always had this conversation
about the secret secret somebody die. Soon as somebody dies,
you go they know the secret because nobody really knows.

(13:14):
What are you gonna do? How you coming back? And
you're gonna see everybody in the sky? Are going up
to see your parents? Are your friends? Are all gonna
be there? You don't know? And then you have these
other people coming in and going, well, I talked to
your grandmother and the these what do they call say
this that? Yeah, yeah, I talked to your grandma. You

(13:39):
don't believe in that stuff now because if they talk
to the grandma, how do they talk to the grandmother
if the grandmother's are not there? So who knows? Do
they know the secret? Nobody knows the secret? What is this?
I don't know? It's you don't know till you die. Yeah,
you come back in another life? Do you see your friends?
From music right. I think heaven or hell is this

(14:04):
room with you people. It'll either be the best place
or I'm stuck here for eternity. Who are talking to you?
Mother efforts out here in this room? Anyway? I think
we've said it up. Do you know the secret? Not yet,
because you're not dead. I love you, guys. The Fifteen
