Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast present?
All right, it's the first fifteen minute. You're gonna get you.

(00:24):
Roggy's did that earlier, and so did Suriesrack. It happens,
big deal. Everybody asked if you're going through purity and
that don't have to follow up question no matter what,
always always um. So earlier we were chatting about the
we can swear the piece of ship cars that you had.

(00:46):
You guys remember this. I remember like we never had
a new car grown up. I remember my mom had
an eighty four AMC Eagle that she would drop me
off at school in and I remember I think it
was around eighth grade where I consciously as he consciously said,
you know it just dropped me off like three blocks.
Oh my gosh, I can't I can't have my friends

(01:08):
see me like this. Or it was like, okay, you
could drop me off at like six thirty in the morning.
I was like, that's fine, I'll just wait for him.
I don't even remember what kind of a car it was.
My girlfriend, Christine's mother would drop us off in the
morning and she would have her She would say to
her mom, please mom, drop us off down the block
and her mom refused, so when we would get to

(01:30):
the front of the building, she would always say, oh, oh,
my socks, they've fallen down, and she would duck down
in the car and pull her socks off because she
was mortified at the car she was in with her
mom and she was just like, please, Mom, I can't
do this. It was so funny. It was so funny.
I used to do it too much. We actually started wait, wait,

(01:59):
hold on, you started the podcast without me. Yeah, you've
got a lot of stuff to do. Can we get
a phone call on the podcast? Used to see this text.
It just came in Richard from Western Kentucky. You also
like you either need to get laid or you need
to participate in a little more day drinking. I mean,
it's not wrong all that the crappy cars that your

(02:23):
parents dropped you off. And I think Gandhi was in
the middle of a story. Oh I'm sorry, I was saying,
I used to um. They were talking about how their
parents they'd make their parents drop them off a few
blocks down the road, and I was saying, I used
to do it to myself because I drove such a
crappy beater piece of car when I was in radio
up until five years ago. It would only start one
out of every three times. So I used to park

(02:45):
way down the street when we had events and stuff
because I didn't want any listeners or anyone seeing me
get into this little beater of a Saturn that also
had the ceiling falling down. It was just a mess.
But I used to have a car. You had to
take pliers and clamp the battery thing on before so
you could get out of the car. You would undo
the battery because the ignission didn't stop it or the

(03:05):
battery would be dead, and get back here later when
you got back in, had to open the hood, clamped
the pliers back around the battery connector and it would
start and go. But hey, we did every time we
used to. I used to have to. I used to
have to push start my car, and luckily we lived
on a hill, so you know, I would I would
have to like have someone push my car with me

(03:27):
in there. Then I have to pop the clutch and
it would start, thank thank god. But sometimes it wouldn't
start at the bottom hill and we'd have to push
it all the way back to the top of the
hill and push it to it again. I mean, those
were shitty days. Man. Excitement when my father said that
from my first car, I was getting a Mustang And
then it turned out to be used Mustang from the

(03:50):
ninth the early eighties, the only when the time when
the Mustang was not cool apparently was cool in the
seventies and later in the nineties, and yeah, the uncool.
And it had rotting floorboards where you can actually see
the actual pavement. Yeah, you can see the rock, the

(04:11):
rock on the floorboards. I'm like, what's going on? And said,
I don't know, something got scary? Is that why your
feet turned out the way they turned out? I think that, Uh, Garrett,
what we're gonna say? So my parents gave me their
my mom's four Toyota Corolla when I went to college. Now,

(04:31):
when you're going to college, it's a big deal to
have a car on campus, you know. So imagine driving
onto campus, getting into that parking spot, ready to start
your college career, and the the driver door just literally
falls off. So I got to campus no driver door,
like I literally had it in my hands. And the
first and last time I had that car. Yes, I

(04:54):
don't know, you know what now that we've been kicked
off Serious XM. You know, less money coming in, We're
gonna use be cars again. There are your nice cars.
They took away our livelihood. Hey, we have Richard on
the line. Let's talk to Richard. Hey, Richard, how are
you good? How are you all? I love doing a well.
I loved your text. So, Richard says, you all sound

(05:17):
like you either need to get laid or you need
to participate in some day drinking a little more. Well Richard,
by the way, I can't disagree. I would love to
get laid more and I'd love dream more during the day.
But are you Are you hearing a little bit of
tension in our voices today? What are you hearing on
your end? Oh? Definitely we Uh we actually work in

(05:37):
a shop here in western Kentucky, and uh we listened
to you all every morning on Serious and when Serious
kicked you out and we uh started listening through the
app and uh yeah, man, just a little bit too
much tension. Yeah, okay, I think Look, he's giving us
some constructive feedback and we should. Definitely, you know, this

(05:58):
is the era of listening. We've got to hear or
what he says. All right, well, so uh, okay, listen
we're gonna lighten up. We'll start with you, Gandhi, how
can we lighten this up for Richard? Yeah? Richard, what
is it that you would like us to change? Like?
What are we doing right now that is irritating you? Oh?
Absolutely nothing. I think it's hilarious. Hilarious as you as

(06:23):
you sit there and listen to our show when the
wheels are falling off for careening, we're careening down the
side of the hill to a fiery death. You like that?
All right? I don't you know, like Richard, sometimes in
families as there's tension and it has happened sometimes and
that's what we do, you know, sometimes we gotta but

(06:44):
you know, but I'd agree with you. I would love
to get laid more so. And I'll start drinking right now.
Who's with me? Let's go all right, we're gonna do it, Richard, noted.
I know. I'll start doing shots right now. Don't tempt us,
and I'll start we'll start like having crazy sex all
over the house. But we're gonna take your your thoughts

(07:07):
to heart and we're gonna lighten it up. And so
tomorrows show is gonna be nothing but light So I'm
I'm I'm excited for it already. Thank you, Richard, you
have you have a great day. Thanks for listening to us.
Thank you as you too. Hey Brody, you never did
you have a weird car growing up? That was embarrassing.
My parents had an old Monte Carlo and there were
two main problems with it. The windshield washer one of

(07:30):
the wipers was broken, so my father put a sponge
in it so it wouldn't scrape the window. And then
the driver's seat, Uh, it would go back too far.
It wouldn't stand up straight. So we put a hammer
in it behind it, uh and from the back seat,
and the hammer would keep the seat from going backwards.
That car was. That car was replaced by my Dodge

(07:51):
Dart that was in an accident before we bought it.
And the driver's door wouldn't open, so I had to
go out the passenger door or climb out through the window.
Oh hazard style. Yeah, yeah, you know so funny. Even
if you had a brand new Dodge Dart, it was
still a piece of ship. Yeah, I started. I started
with Dodge Dart. It was downhill from there. Yeah, but

(08:16):
now you have a supercar. I do. But I met
my girlfriend at the time was not my wife driving
that Dodge Dart. And that's how I knew it was real,
because she clearly didn't like me for my car. There
you go, there, I get it. I get it. Look
at straight, Nate, what are you? What are you doing
postponing uh an interview? Thank you for doing it. We

(08:41):
just bumped an egot winner. Yeah, exactly, we didn't. We
didn't bump him. I mean we're gonna we'll we'll interview him.
Hopefully he'll be able to fit us into a schedule.
If not, we'll get him next night. And he's been
on before. We're here for the Yeah, we're here for
the long term. You know, we're okay all day. But yeah,
they bumped us there. Oh god, all right now, what

(09:05):
I feel like I came in late and I don't
feel like I have the right to be here. I
have a story about a car that I was told,
but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say it.
I ran it by Nate, So Nate needs to give
me the okay if I'm allowed to say it. Which
story was this the car that broke down somewhere where
Elvis was doing something? Oh? Yeah, you can totally tell
this story. Okay. So apparently at one of your book signings,

(09:27):
specifically in Philadelphia, the station van broke down outside your
event and they had to call and have it towed
away from the Barnes and Noble while you were doing here.
Oh my god, how embarrassing. The Q and O two
van was towed away. Yeah. We could talk to Smile
and Steven if you guys want to. But he was like, oh,

(09:47):
it was mortifying. I didn't know what to do. I
was so embarrassed. Steve the way he panics too. That's
it was towed away, as they say, as they say,
those those are bad optics. I worked at a radio

(10:08):
station in Tampa in the nineties and they would we
would purposely buy really shitty vehicles and we would paint
the logo on them, and when they would break down,
we would leave them on the side of the road
for days. It's like billboards, and would just leave them.
I would want to call back to the program record
and go, hey, the car broke down. Just take the
tag off and somebody will come get you. Just leave

(10:29):
it there. We would leave it and never go back
and get it. They were the biggest pieces of ship
painting them with house paint. Yeah, that was the power
Pig and Tampa. They used to do stuff like that.
I don't know, don't remember scary, don't remember when when
we used to in Danielle, when we used to do
appearances in the Z one hundred van, we had to
sit on a tie. We had to sit on a
tire in the balkeet the van summer hummer and yeah,

(10:54):
then there was the Z one hundred summer hummer too,
uh And I remember, yeah, and you had that the
tire was literally in the back seat because it had
no space, so we had there were times maybe when
we just had that truck that was like I remember
sitting in the back of the truck. There were no
seats and I would just sit there. And when we
would be going, I would go from one side of

(11:15):
the truck boom. When they would make it turn, would
just be like, am I gonna make it to my events?
And be like, oh, remember what happened to this? Smiling
Stephen on the phone. Yeah, once you push the button,
there is Stephen, Stephen, I hear barking. I hear someone barking.

(11:39):
There is that's my dog. Hi, smile and Stephen hey,
how are you? Hey? So why didn't you tell me
that the jankety old Q and O two van was
told in front of my book signing at Barnes and Noble. Well,
we didn't want to. There was a lot going on,
so we didn't want to put anything alice on your

(12:00):
plate at the moment. Well, I mean, it doesn't make
us look very good. I mean, did they fix it?
Did they just throw it away? What they do with
that old van? I all I know was while you
were upstairs signing books to you know, reading everybody, there
was a tow truck that pulled up and pulled the
Q on O two van, which is a big, big van,

(12:23):
onto its bed and rolled away with And I don't
know whatever happened after that. I go some fucking tickets
on it too. Well, how come you guys didn't want
to tell me this? I don't I don't understand. Well,
I mean, here's this thing. So I came early, but

(12:44):
our our fantastic promo team didn't um The van already
broke down on the highway before we even got to
the events, so they already had to restart the vand
once and then the finally cast there I was hoping
you wouldn't get outside, so I was trying to keep
you inside the Barnes, trying to like you know it.

(13:04):
You bring up a good point. Smile and Stephen, you
bring up a good point. I find out little things
every once in a while by accident. You guys keep
things from me all the time because because it's minutia,
stuff that's not that important to you. And it's just
it's just you. You have enough going on information over
a load. It doesn't need to cloud your head. Not
only no, no, you don't mean to yell at you.

(13:24):
You don't. I will. Depending on the day, that could
be something that triggers you. Yeah, like if I'm triggered broke,
Like god, this is so embarrassing, I can't believe it
is all right. Smile and Stephen, we love you, And

(13:48):
next time you can, you can just tell me the truth.
It's all good. We love you. I love you too.
I'll believe it. Remember the fabled King Kong Master Blaster.
We used to have a ze. It was like a
box truck shaped like a boom box and you can
go inside it. One year we lent it to another

(14:08):
radio station. I think it was K Rock and then
for woodstock and oh yeah that right. Yeah, they they
burned it, didn't they burned. They looted. They looted. Our
big box trucks are boom box? Yeah, oh my god,

(14:30):
it from us. Remember remember that they pushed it over first?
Did they pushed it over? They did? And then they
cut it on fire. But but don't you remember the
three story high free Money Monkey. They burned that too.
They burned all of our stuff. It's like we can't
have good things, the three story high free money Monkey. Anyway,

(14:53):
we gotta get out of here. It's a living The
