Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
firm Elvis Presents Fifteen Minute Morning Show. Okay, Elvis has
proclaimed Thursday as his favorite day in our favorite day
of the week, but what is your least favorite day? Tuesday?
(00:24):
I'm curious why Tuesday because it's still really early in
the week. There's not really a lot of news going on,
like coming off of the weekend and stuff, and it's
just Tuesday. There's nothing going on Tuesday, which is why
I think they made Tuesday's for tacos. So I'm gonna
save it and someone I disagree. I think Monday edges out.
Tuesday is the worst day of the week, and I
think a lot of people who agree with that one.
(00:44):
I don't know, because Monday unless you have Sunday, unless
you have Monday off, you're screwed. I mean, Monday is
the slowest that you have to go back to work.
Sunday night has to come to a screeching halt. I
usually get the least amount of sleep on Sunday night
because there's so many things to do, so Monday I'm
dragging my wagon. Okay, Well, I talked to somebody yesterday
because we we had this past Monday off and this
(01:05):
has been a short week. But I talked to somebody yesterday.
They said they don't like having Monday's off and the
short weeks because they feel like they're trying to play
catch up the whole week to get five days of
work done in four days. I'm like, no, not me, no,
no, no no, no, let me, let's do something, Nate. Yeah,
if you could have your pick to have Monday or
Friday off, if we had a four day work week,
would you rather have Monday's or Friday's off? Monday's Friday
(01:29):
always has that good feel, right. I mean, don't get
me wrong, I will take a Friday off no if
sans butts back. But having Monday off makes Sunday so
much better. Oh my god, you can actually enjoy its.
Sunday I never like. I don't know about you, guys.
Sunday's right around noon. I just I can't. I can't,
I don't. I don't want to do anything. I just
know that work I gotta go to sleepy. We're talking
(01:51):
about least favorite days of the week. Would you rather
have Monday off or Friday off? I know you would
rather have Mondays on Monday. I'm sorry in my way?
Do you I thought he was gonna say, do you
enjoy Sundays? I can't enjoy Sunday's past news absolutely enjoy Sundays.
Sundays are a part of the weekend. Until you put
(02:12):
your head on the pillow Sunday night, it's still the weekend.
Why can't I make a case for Friday night having
Friday off instead of Monday. I feel like Thursday Thursdays.
I feel most people like crash and burn at the
end of the week, so they take the Friday off,
and everyone's going out on Thursday nights. So I would
rather have the Friday so I can stay up late Thursday,
because Sunday is wasted either way. Either way, I got
(02:33):
it into my head that Monday I gotta get up
and do something that's all in your head. Yeah, and
then it'll just turn to whatever day it is that
you have to go back. You're gonna hate that day.
There's more action on a Thursday night than a Sunday night.
Wait a minute, things going on. I don't know. For me,
at least, I don't know my lifestyle. Okay, Friday off
is better. I'll tell you what. Excuse me, Monday off
(02:54):
is better because Friday usually it's a laid back environment
people week the work week is all over. It's dressed
down Friday in a lot of offices. And by the
time Friday ends, your your weekend starts. The minute your
work days over. So who cares about working Friday? Monday
you gotta come and start the week. And then Monday
night is still like Tuesday eve. Monday's a waste, Like
(03:15):
it's just I'd rather have off Monday. It's a terrible
day of the week. Here here, what about you from
Because that way, your Sunday then becomes like a second Saturday.
It's like, yeah, let's do more stuff today. All right,
I'm gonna throw a loop for you. But if we
had Wednesdays, I was gonna say that, yeah yeah, But
(03:36):
to have that surprise Wednesday two days taking day off
work two days means you could step late on a Tuesday.
Who cares if you're saying, instead of having Monday on Monday? Okay, okay,
I gladly will hell a curve right there? Yeah, hey,
you work for two days work? Who created the work week?
(03:59):
But but like the minds created the calendar, right, But
then who's like, okay, Monday through Friday. That's going to
be the quote unquote work right. Who decided five days
of work and two days of rest for some countries
that have three day weekends now like Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Is the Spain you said Henry Ford started in the
prive day. Well, prior to Henry Ford, I think it
was everybody worked Monday through Saturday, if I'm not mistaken,
(04:23):
or seven days a week and they worked like sixteen
hours a day. Yeah. So if you think the forty
hour work week is bad, going before that and before hand,
for they had to walk to work important. So if
you should be like a pioneer and start the four
day work week, done? Okay. So not everyone's a fan
(04:45):
of Downton Abbey, Uh we are, but you know we
keep it buying Downton Abbey. In those days, you know,
this was these were people who are of great means.
You know, they would go out horseback riding every day.
The people dressed them. They would go to parties and
they would have dinner parties and would put taxes on
for dinners and formal dinners. And there one day they
(05:07):
were at the table talking about the weekend and the
old lady looked up and said, what's a weekend? Because
they don't They don't know Monday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday, WEDNESDA, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
It's all the same to them. There there's no difference
with the Saturday and Wednesday because they do the same
ship every day. You remember that, You remember that one
(05:28):
episode where I think it was Tom. Oh no, it
was Lord Grantham. You guys don't care. He had to
wear a black tie instead of a white tie. Oh
my god, it was It was just hapsty at the
downtown white tie events are different than black tie. Yeah,
but apparently black ties were coming in and he had
to try it, but he didn't like it. Can you imagine,
(05:49):
even though it's called Downton Abbey, I still call it
downtown and I see it like the way I see it.
I know it's Downton Abbey, but the way I visually
see it, I still see downtown Downtown Abbey. Then people
though it's down too, Nay, it's downtown. You probably say
espresso too, and Wimbledon an ATM machine don't say that,
(06:10):
so as almost We were talking about the pineapple thing
on the show earlier today. This Texter says, if you
research the pineapple meaning, it started in war times. In
early war times, a woman would put a pineapple on
the porch when her husband was away at war, if
she was feeling lonelying for our country. You wouldn't know.
(06:33):
There was no social media. Word would get around town.
I often think about that. I think about what we
used to go on in the nineties, forties and the
fifties and the ninties, and the black and white times
with all these people. By the way, by the way,
there was color back the right. But things that you
(06:54):
see on film that are black and white, the stars
and celebrities like they all we're doing some crazy ship
remeber One, Kiple, Mona chrome Elvis. Do you know who?
My kids asked me that was the world always in color?
At least they are kid remembering that I was a kid.
You're not any But think about the largest thing these icons,
(07:18):
you know, crazy ship was going on behind you know.
But they but they had gossip columnists, you know what,
And they controlled the movie studios. For instance, head of
Hopper could call Louis B. Mayor at MGM and say, hey,
we got Fatty Arbuckle. Fatty Arbuckle sticking it into some
little thing over there at the hotel, and she she
(07:41):
would squel up the article about Fatty Arbuckle in exchange
for information about another star. So they would turn their
own stars in Fatty Arbuckle, FA Fatty Arbuckle. It was
Fatty Arbuckle in black and white and was but at
(08:03):
the same time as uh, Charlie Chaplin, they were good friends.
I watched the documentary about Charlie Chaplin in the day
because I had COVID, had nothing else to do. It
was fascinating. He was a worldwide superstar. He would show
up at any city in the world and millions of
people will come out to see him. And then, of
course that's before they had talkie. Yeah, they'd have to
(08:24):
translate the movies exactly. It was all it was. Didn't
need to edit any silent films. Right. Did he ever
talk in films? Yes, he did later that ended his career.
It did not because of the talking, but because of
what he had to say. He was very political talking.
It sounds dirty. A lot of a lot of celebrities dirty. Yeah,
it sounds like a porn or something. Talkies I was
gonna say, I was You know, there's a lot of
(08:45):
celebrities who were in silent movies lost their careers because
they had terrible voices and they just couldn't do talkies
like Hello. You know, that was the whole premise of
the movie Singing in the Rain, wasn't it? Was it? Yeah,
they were transitioning from in the movie anyways, they were
transitioning from silent films to talkies, and the one actress
couldn't sing or speak because they don't I like this,
(09:09):
So then they had somebody that sang for her, and
then she ended up becoming this stock. It's a great movie.
You never singing in the Ring, Dodd. I feel like
the title gives away the plot. You know how Singing
in the Rain was made? Who was the who wrote
Singing in the Rain? It was some well, there was
(09:33):
somebody that wrote all of these songs, right, and there
was a challenge that they said, all right, put all
of those songs in the music. And so they put
all of these songs in the musical and made a musical.
How do you know all this? As? I love that movie.
That's cute. You need to see Singing in the Right.
I will now, I will with a whole that I
would have seen that again, it was just the people
(10:02):
downstairs on the second floor, like the rain was when
they added color to the people. Right, that was a
movie with color. It was colorized, right, I do believe,
I don't. I don't know. Days of your that's scary talk.
Wasn't that one scene when they when they jumped in
and out of the color or something like that? Are
you thinking a wizard of Honest? I think that's something.
(10:25):
I think that's something more recent than they remade for
Telling a couple of years ago. Yeah, they did have
black and white scenes in it, but it was a
color Gandhi has no interest in any of these old
school Hollywood conversation. No, I'm just very interested. I don't
know anything about it, so I'm not going to try to.
It actually stands up to time pretty well. I believe that,
obviously not. But the rain just looks so fake. Oh
(10:46):
well sounds there was no c g I rain back then,
I know, but fake rain nowadays looks better. You know
what they did to make the rain appear on camera
more as they mixed milk with it. Really, Yeah, when
he filmed that scene had a hundred and two fever.
He had the flu and he's still because he went
(11:09):
out singing in the rain. It's I feel like at
this point, Na could tell us anything about the movie
and we're all just like, really very well, I don't
want to know is behind the scene stories from the
filming of that movie? Oh well, you know, remember Debbie
Reynolds in that movie, gene Kelly made her cry because
she couldn't dance, and she went and during a break
(11:31):
was hiding under piano, and who looked under the piano
and saw her and helped her dance? But fred as stare,
shut up, I'm not kidding. This would be like prehistoric.
Look up the actually miss Burbank. So that's why she
got the part because she was his young, cute actress.
But she didn't know how to tap dance, and gene
Kelly was very mean if you didn't know how to
(11:53):
tap her dressing. You know, you know what's just like
I love that movie. Correct there. Daniel Reynolds had to
be carried away from the set after filming the complicated
choreography for Good Morning. He suffered birth blood vessels in
her feet and needed to be carried to her dressing
(12:15):
room to recover American doesn't know this, You guys noticed
Elvis left back headline. Everyone was afraid of gene Kelly.
It said his hyper focus on perfection led to a
tense time on the set. He was terrified of making
even the most smallest mistake. This is all the other
people because they were afraid that gene Kelly was going
(12:38):
to yell at them. He would have been canceled that
And you're right, he had a hundred and three fever.
Could you imagine gene Kelly trying to be around scary dancing.
You know what's gotten a lot better with the c
g I and the effects is driving in the car.
Like nothing was worse than an old movie driving in
a car. They play a movie on a screen behind him,
(13:01):
and the steering wheel was gigantic. It was as big
as the two people and it was just like this.
But now it's much much better, I guess, because they
really are driving in cars and they've got cameras on
rails and all this other stuff. But it's way better
than the East to be. It was so awful. They
still do the fake left and right, left and right
with their hands like you know, they look like turning
back and forth like zig zagging you do, and there's
(13:23):
a movie playing behind c g. I mean, I go
back to the first Star Wars. It was just awful.
I mean the effects in the original Star Wars compared
to now, Yeah, it does hold up a lot better
than a lot of sci fi. You you're back and
watch the first Superman movie. When the dam breaks, it's
little houses, like little plastic houses. You didn't realize it
(13:43):
back then, but like the water is going through like toys.
It looks like toys being washed away by the water.
Or another terrible one. Watch Godzilla. It's the guy in
the suit stomping on models. Ran It costs like to
make and you know that fake snow is soap SuDS
and it just looks awful or asbestos. Well back back,
way back then. But actually I was on the set
(14:03):
of Awakenings back in the eighties, um that Penny Marshall
directed with Rob Williams, and uh, we were there and
it was just soap everywhere. It was all it was
in Brooklyn. It was just soap all over the place. Yeah, huh,
give us a fun movie fact, Gandhi, I don't know
if I have any of these. He wasn't allowed to
watch movies. I really wasn't. I didn't watch anything, so
I was like six some way behind. I just read
(14:25):
a very famous, uh entertainer from India passed away, who
is a famous singer of fifty three year old. Yeah,
I mean very famous, but I don't know. I was
going to send it to Gandhi, but I thought that
was like, oh, yeah, you have my Indian friend. Yeah.
Almost a gay man died in Oklahoma. I sent in
(14:46):
the story. You know, it's interesting you're talking about the
movies as you looked at up Rescue Rangers on Disney
Plus is actually more adult than it. Actually you're led
to believe because they tell the story like Chipp and Dale.
They talk about them as actors and Chip got c
g I surgery, so he looks like he's in modern day,
but Dale's still living in the nineties with the like
(15:06):
the cartoons. And then Peter Pan. I didn't know the
story of the original Peter Pan. How he unfortunately, you know,
got fired from Disney and then became a drunk and
then so they make Peter Pan the actor and the
voice actor the voice apparently he never grew up and
he was still drinking. Well, he's the evil villain. He's
(15:27):
the drunk evil villain. So it's like almost in Rescue Rangers,
the movie that's out on Disney Plus, see, these are
the things we don't want to know, but but it's
it's so dark, but but it's interesting to see. Like
the kids, they'll they'll they'll just laugh at it. But
as an adult, you're like, wow, this is like creepy. Oh.
I have a movie fact that I know you guys
all already know. The Indian guy who was KK Yeah,
(15:48):
Chris Nakumara, I don't know that is I'm sorry, don't
yell at me. Um that in Jaws in the beginning
scene when the girl is screaming that, she was actually
screaming like that because they broke her ribs pulling her around.
You know who pulled their first We got one. He
Steven Spielberg did the first tug her rib cage and
(16:12):
it was an actual horrible scream and they use it
all the time right that stream and all the scary movies. Sam,
And do you know that one of the little kids,
a little blond kid at the beginning or whatever, when
they were playing around on the beach, he's now the
police chief of the actual town where it was filmed.
Stop it. It just happened, all right, Yeah, it just happened. God,
I wish I could top that kid. Morning Show

what they did to make the rain appear on camera
more as they mixed milk with it. Really, Yeah, when
he filmed that scene had a hundred and two fever.
He had the flu and he's still because he went
(11:09):
out singing in the rain. It's I feel like at
this point, Na could tell us anything about the movie
and we're all just like, really very well, I don't
want to know is behind the scene stories from the
filming of that movie? Oh well, you know, remember Debbie
Reynolds in that movie, gene Kelly made her cry because
she couldn't dance, and she went and during a break
(11:31):
was hiding under piano, and who looked under the piano
and saw her and helped her dance? But fred as stare,
shut up, I'm not kidding. This would be like prehistoric.
Look up the actually miss Burbank. So that's why she
got the part because she was his young, cute actress.
But she didn't know how to tap dance, and gene
Kelly was very mean if you didn't know how to
(11:53):
tap her dressing. You know, you know what's just like
I love that movie. Correct there. Daniel Reynolds had to
be carried away from the set after filming the complicated
choreography for Good Morning. He suffered birth blood vessels in
her feet and needed to be carried to her dressing
(12:15):
room to recover American doesn't know this, You guys noticed
Elvis left back headline. Everyone was afraid of gene Kelly.
It said his hyper focus on perfection led to a
tense time on the set. He was terrified of making
even the most smallest mistake. This is all the other
people because they were afraid that gene Kelly was going
(12:38):
to yell at them. He would have been canceled that
And you're right, he had a hundred and three fever.
Could you imagine gene Kelly trying to be around scary dancing.
You know what's gotten a lot better with the c
g I and the effects is driving in the car.
Like nothing was worse than an old movie driving in
a car. They play a movie on a screen behind him,
(13:01):
and the steering wheel was gigantic. It was as big
as the two people and it was just like this.
But now it's much much better, I guess, because they
really are driving in cars and they've got cameras on
rails and all this other stuff. But it's way better
than the East to be. It was so awful. They
still do the fake left and right, left and right
with their hands like you know, they look like turning
back and forth like zig zagging you do, and there's
(13:23):
a movie playing behind c g. I mean, I go
back to the first Star Wars. It was just awful.
I mean the effects in the original Star Wars compared
to now, Yeah, it does hold up a lot better
than a lot of sci fi. You you're back and
watch the first Superman movie. When the dam breaks, it's
little houses, like little plastic houses. You didn't realize it
(13:43):
back then, but like the water is going through like toys.
It looks like toys being washed away by the water.
Or another terrible one. Watch Godzilla. It's the guy in
the suit stomping on models. Ran It costs like to
make and you know that fake snow is soap SuDS
and it just looks awful or asbestos. Well back back,
way back then. But actually I was on the set
(14:03):
of Awakenings back in the eighties, um that Penny Marshall
directed with Rob Williams, and uh, we were there and
it was just soap everywhere. It was all it was
in Brooklyn. It was just soap all over the place. Yeah, huh,
give us a fun movie fact, Gandhi, I don't know
if I have any of these. He wasn't allowed to
watch movies. I really wasn't. I didn't watch anything, so
I was like six some way behind. I just read
(14:25):
a very famous, uh entertainer from India passed away, who
is a famous singer of fifty three year old. Yeah,
I mean very famous, but I don't know. I was
going to send it to Gandhi, but I thought that
was like, oh, yeah, you have my Indian friend. Yeah.
Almost a gay man died in Oklahoma. I sent in
(14:46):
the story. You know, it's interesting you're talking about the
movies as you looked at up Rescue Rangers on Disney
Plus is actually more adult than it. Actually you're led
to believe because they tell the story like Chipp and Dale.
They talk about them as actors and Chip got c
g I surgery, so he looks like he's in modern day,
but Dale's still living in the nineties with the like
(15:06):
the cartoons. And then Peter Pan. I didn't know the
story of the original Peter Pan. How he unfortunately, you know,
got fired from Disney and then became a drunk and
then so they make Peter Pan the actor and the
voice actor the voice apparently he never grew up and
he was still drinking. Well, he's the evil villain. He's
(15:27):
the drunk evil villain. So it's like almost in Rescue Rangers,
the movie that's out on Disney Plus, see, these are
the things we don't want to know, but but it's
it's so dark, but but it's interesting to see. Like
the kids, they'll they'll they'll just laugh at it. But
as an adult, you're like, wow, this is like creepy. Oh.
I have a movie fact that I know you guys
all already know. The Indian guy who was KK Yeah,
(15:48):
Chris Nakumara, I don't know that is I'm sorry, don't
yell at me. Um that in Jaws in the beginning
scene when the girl is screaming that, she was actually
screaming like that because they broke her ribs pulling her around.
You know who pulled their first We got one. He
Steven Spielberg did the first tug her rib cage and
(16:12):
it was an actual horrible scream and they use it
all the time right that stream and all the scary movies. Sam,
And do you know that one of the little kids,
a little blond kid at the beginning or whatever, when
they were playing around on the beach, he's now the
police chief of the actual town where it was filmed.
Stop it. It just happened, all right, Yeah, it just happened. God,
I wish I could top that kid. Morning Show
