Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcasting show?
And here it is the fifteen minute morning show podcast.
It's the last of the week. I don't know. Why
why do we screw over Friday? Why do we not

(00:23):
have a Friday phone? Friday is called a problem with
the equipment on Friday. Yeah, someone who sounds just like
you said, we're not doing them on Friday's. That wasn't me, No,
that that was Nate's decision. Well, no, this we talked
about this. This goes back to when they used to
sell the podcast and they weren't selling it. So I'm so,

(00:45):
why the hell, you know, let's at least just give
them four right, and we get our day back on Friday.
And then they started selling it. We just kind of
kept it. Yeah, yeah, better give them four strong ones
than uh, five mediocres. Well, who's to say these are strong?
I have a feeling might be giving four mediocres exactly today,

(01:09):
is it? Anyway? Well, there's Froggy, there's Scotty be over
in the serial library, there's Gandhi, and there's Danielle in
the basement. There's Scotty, and there's Straight and eight, and
there's Dave Brody in the den with electricity. You still
have things plugged in today, and there's Garrett in the kitchen,
high hello top and phone chargers, so it'll always be

(01:31):
plugged in always. Okay, good, It's nice to know that
you're plugged in. So yesterday we gave Rody the floor.
We said, just take it over. What do you wanta
talking about? We actually had a great conversation yesterday. Uh
today we have no plan, We have no map for
the for the podcast. So what do you think, Danielle Well,
I was talking about before how we all have morning routines.

(01:51):
How I know, like like there's two things that I'll
do in the morning, Like what if I have to
I have to watch the bathroom because I know the
boys have been in there, and I'm like, I cannot
stop day unless I washed the counter, you know, the
sink and the toilet and everything. And then I leave
and then I wash my hands, and then I leave
my husband an apple for some reason, yes, because I
want him to eat an apple a day, and so

(02:13):
I weave him out an apple. Some days I'll well
some days, some days I'll come and they'll be three
apples because I've loved them. Three days in a row,
and I don't look to see if he's eating it.
There's all these apples, but normally he will eat the apple.
But those are like my routines. I can't start the
day without doing those things. Wow, you you have very
very very specific things you have to before you touch

(02:33):
that microphone. You have to have all that done, including
the apple. You guys don't do that. Feed the dog.
But it's like a reminder as to eat a little healthier.
Here's your apple. I'm thinking of it. It's a nice gesture.
My routine is boring and stupid and not very effectively.
Yours sounds great, right. I work with a family who

(02:54):
doesn't think that I'm working. For example, did you say,
I don't know if you guys noticed. A few minutes ago,
Lisa came in. She tapped me on the shoulder and
I have headphones on. The microphone's on. She goes, are
you on the air? Yeah, okay, I'll come back. What
then do you think I'm doing? So now I want
to know what she wanted, Like, I don't know where
she'd put an on air light outside the door, Like yeah,

(03:17):
but don't you guys, don't you guys have like morning
routines that you do, like mine is exactly the same
every day by the minute. I get up at three
fifty two. Every morning, I go into the bathroom, brush
my teeth, then I get dressed. That I go downstairs,
I make coffee, I take the dog out. I leave
the house at four twelve. Every morning, I get on

(03:37):
the Long Expressway and it exit seven. I drink my
coffee because that's when it's the perfect temperature. I get
you at five o'clock. I'm in the bathroom at five
o one. That I'm back in the studio here at
five nineteen so I can start timing the show out
of ship. I like to be on my phone. We
we are creatures of habit, especially in the morning, because

(03:59):
you know, you really depend on those habits to get
you through the morning, because you just don't have enough
brain power to make decisions. So the decisions are made
there because you made them four years ago, you know,
like an auto pilot. And Lisa's in here, now, what
did you want? What did you what did you come
in for in the middle of the show. What was
so important? Oh my god, she doesn't even remember. It

(04:25):
wasn't even important, And she walks in here to bother
me when I'm working. What? Oh, she wants to redo
that room furniture, do a room? And that couldn't wait
till the show was over. What do you think? Hey,
there's more people here than you. I got a question

(04:46):
for you. Did she want to like turn it into
a full time studio and get rid of the bed?
Is this no longer going to be the guest bedroom
where the guests gonna stay? Give me where am I
staying when I come? Then? Oh? Watch, Lisa needs she
needs a project, she needs a job or a hobby. Well,

(05:10):
now that she saved your life, she wants to redo
a room. Yeah yeah, let her do it cheap. You
gotta be nice to me. Almost almost died a month ago. Oh,
here we go, Here we go. Hey, I keep seeing
the record light go off and then come back on.
Is there an issue? I don't think so, I just

(05:31):
saw it go okay, never run okay? All right? What else, Danielle?
Keep going? You're doing really great. I don't know what
to do else to tell you, guys, I'll tell you
about my routine every morning, so I wake up earlier
like Scotty be my alarm goes off at four or six,
and then I hit snooze and then I get out
of bed at four or fifteen because you know it's
a nine minute snooze. Why it's nine minutes, I have

(05:52):
no They said there's a there's a science behind that,
because I think it wakes you before you go into
like a deep, deep, deep deep anyway, Uh, at four
or fifteen it goes off again. And then I go
put my feet down on the floor and go fuck.

(06:13):
I blow the fun horn every single morning. I'm like, wow,
I'm telling you, like, I say, how are you fucking
kidding me? And then I popped my hip because when
I sleep my hip something, so I have to my hippart.
And then I grabbed my clothes, take my shower, and
then by like four fifty, I'm in the car driving

(06:35):
and but yeah, I get the funk horn out. Wow. Fuck. Wait.
Have you ever cried in the shower and be honest, yeah,
but not because it was like waking up. That's just
my place to cry. I wake up at a weird time.
I get up at four seven, jump in the shower,
make sure that I leave my house. Uh one. I

(06:57):
make sure that the time here on my hand. My
Ovens says, one walk out the door. Make sure that
I listened to the news on the way in to
see what I may have missed. Then around four two,
I start jockeying for you know, parking. See what I
can do. I come in here, I plug it, I
say good morning to Scotty, and I plug in Nate's microphone,

(07:18):
and then five minutes later Nate comes in and it's
always like five minutes later, and then we talk about
about the parking situation and we curse the mail trucks outside.
Every morning the mail trucks are block in the Vide's
kind of interesting. The post office is right behind the
radio station and they just parked their mail trucks, like
in the middle of the street with trucks and they

(07:42):
Nate says that one of them was like hanging out
crooking of a space. We love our usps. They can do. Yeah.
My mom is um. She works for the Postal Service.
She's in the HR department, so you know, any type
of complaint and all that kind of stuff, she has
to deal with it. So when I first moved here
and I saw those dumb trucks outside, I was like, Mom,
get ahold of your people. They're blocking all of our parking.

(08:03):
She said what She's like, all right, I'll look into it.
She called me back and said, you're in New York City,
get over it, find your own spot. I was like,
damn it. Are you good for? They don't care because
they can't get parking tickets because they don't have license plates,
don't I didn't know that. Yes, you look, they don't
have license plates. They just have a little number on

(08:24):
the on the truck truck number and that's at no
license plates, so they can't get a ticket. I'm gonna
I'm gonna go uh the postal truck and just go postal.
I'm gonna drive through red lights and stuff. Just Yeah,
that term was banned in my house when I was
a little go postal wasn't allowed to say it. Yeah

(08:44):
you shouldn't. It's not brody. Yeah, you know you're you're
so elusive. We just know you on the phone. Everyone
sud Do you have a routine it's so different from ours,
I'm sure. Yeah. I wake up at four forty six.
I usually news once maybe twice, and then I also curse,

(09:04):
and then I go in the bathroom. All my clothes
and toilet trees are laid out. Jump in the shower.
I do that. Then I go to the kitchen where
my cereal mug. I have a big mug, my cereal
mug in my cereal box and my spooner laid out.
The milk is always in the front of the refrigerator
and put it in the front. At night, I get
my cereal ready and then I go down to the
den where I turn on the fake fireplace to warm

(09:25):
the place up, put on the news, and open up
the laptop. And then my day is basically that for
the morning. Then at seven thirty and my family wakes
up I am not allowed to go upstairs while they're
in the kitchen getting ready. That it throws their routine
off and they don't want to talk. We all have
our routines. I get that I have to knock on
the staircase if I'm coming up with something. The thing

(09:47):
is that you are ahead of them as far as
waking up. They're still just coming to the thing about
Brody is his morning starts like at one in the morning,
and then he goes and takes a nap, and then
he wakes up because you're late. I see email for me,
like one in the morning. Yeah, I sent an email
lest that around one fort in the morning there was
an update, so I had to send it updated update.

(10:09):
I have a question of I'm sorry, I'm just I'm
just curious about people's sleep because my wife always yells
at me when I get into bed at no one
else on the show is in bed at this time. Yeah, right,
not me. The day I tried, and now during the day,
but I can't always like I didn't yesterday. But I
like to watch TV with my husband at night, like

(10:30):
before we go to bed, Like we have shows we
like to watch together, so that's when we do. I
sleep all afternoon. I love it. Yeah, I definitely at
eight d of the night it was great. Wow. Yeah.
But if I can go to sleep early, I definitely would.
So if you can go to bed at nine, that's awesome.
Like a treat on a night when I can go
to bed at nine fifteen, Like, oh yes, tonight, I
got all my stuff done one in the morning. I

(10:53):
stay up pretty late. Hey, Garrett, what's your You've got kids?
You you're always looking out for us. I mean, if
you want to get really beat behind the curtain, I
do most of my sound like research on the toilet
in the morning. When I wake up, it's like my
first time in a minute when I'm texting you. That's
not where you are most of the times. Yeah, it's

(11:14):
not untal. A lot of people do work on the toilet. Yeah,
I don't tell you I'm on the toilet, but I
do know, though, But now I know, and I'm falling out.
But doesn't feel like go numb from sitting there for
so long and then you can't move it and you
can't get up, and you feel like you're crippled. Guys,
the squatty potty will save you. Wait, wait, hold on circulation.

(11:35):
I've never experienced oh my god, yea frequently, See I don't.
I don't stay on the top. I just get it
on there and get on. It's a race to see
how fast I can get off that thing. The tushy
does give me a wake up call, though, Like if
I'm like feeling down and just tushy gives me a
nice way to wake up, calling I'm I'm ready to go,
wakes you up. And the squatty potty saves your legs
from falling asleep, and it helps if you want to

(11:56):
do what Alvius does export faster. Did you ever put
your face in the tushy? Not on purpose? Yes, Brodie
asked if anyone ever put their face in a tushy.
I was just going around the room. Do you know
what I mean? Ever put your face in a tushi?

(12:17):
It's been a while, Elvis, that's the technol. How did
we get into eating ass? Then I come downstairs? What
does that mean? So I walked down the stairs. One

(12:39):
features of habit, you know in the mornings, I'll tell you.
And we've done research in what we do doing morning radio.
Most of our listeners back when things were normal, would
be at the same stop sign at the same time
every day. Yes, they would realize that they were typically
So when Scotty b Is talking about passing a certain
exit seven at what time four thirteen? Well, I passed

(13:02):
the exit right around four thirty, Like if you pass
it at for thirty five, you know I'll go something's
different to that's right? You know. I see the same
cars a lot too. I'll pass by the same car
as every morning, and when I make the right turn
on the sixth Avenue, it's the same car. And he's
been along with me for almost half an hour, and
I see the same routine. He's on a routine tim
where she absolutely when we were actually going into the

(13:25):
studio UM a long time ago, my ride would pick
me up at four twelve am, and if she was
late at all, we would have the cone guy in
front of us that held up the whole tunnel, you know,
that truck that goes through and just like sets the
cone down and for no reason and then picks it up.
Always cause trouble, and it would be a two minute difference.
So if we're not out by four twelve, it is terrible. Yeah,

(13:45):
I don't think, I mean, Scotty knows this. And and
I because we drive a pretty long ways, even five
minutes in the morning, if you're five minutes late, the
amount of traffic it adds up. And another thing about
what we do is our show starts at six o'clock
East Coast time, no matter what. So you can't you know, yeah,

(14:05):
and I have, And from time to time you can't
really meander in a few minutes later and be okay, no,
and the show starts no matter what. There's no waiting.
Sometimes I'll call it a scary just play a song,
a dance song, something dancing, and I'll be there by
the time the dance is over. But you know, we
are creatures of habit, and I think that's okay. It's

(14:26):
what gets us through the morning. And that's why. That's
why I can't take the train. I'd love to take
the train in, but you know, if they're late for
any reason, I'm in big trouble because that's something I
can't control. If there's traffic, I can go a different way.
Find it fascinating though, how as I'm passing by the
coffee cart Mustafa, I always say good morning. It's usually
the same customer that's in front of him every morning.

(14:47):
It's another creature of habit. Well, there you go, the
creature of habit show. Thank you for the idea, Danielle.
We love you. You're welcome to love you too, all right,
And as we do every morning, it's a habit. We
say goodbye bye. The fifteen Minute Morning Show
