Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast.
Firm Represents Morning Show. Here we go one day away
from the weekend. We just finished our Thursday show on
the radio, which is what we still call it, and
now it's the fifteen minute morning show podcast. There is

(00:25):
Gandhi and scary check in. Danielle's truly of his dread.
We're just a straight night. That's a good question. Look busy.
He's been looking at himself a lot in the mirror today.
He's feeling himself today. I don't know he was giving
himself his own negative vibes earlier. He's saying that people

(00:47):
aren't liking his haircut because it makes it makes him
look too young. I've never heard that being a problem
unless you were a child. A lot of people were
talking about the fact that he shaved his beard as well,
and a lot of people were for the beard, and
now he doesn't have the beard anymore, so you just
gotta get used to it. For the beard, it's not
nice to call Heather that. I won't tell you this.

(01:11):
Why do we even care what people think about how
we look? Well, because we're sensitive people, of course. I mean,
you can be having the best day ever and then
you read one crappy comment on Instagram or wherever it is,
and you just feel I mean like I was looking
at Lizzo, who has had the best year of her life.
I would imagine she blew up this year like she's everywhere,

(01:31):
and trolls bullied her off of Twitter. Can you imagine
being bullied that much? No? No, it's so sad, like
what are these people doing with their lives? Do someentthing better?
So I I posted a photo on my Instagram at Elvis,
Duran Kesha and me, and I'm this person says, You've
got a lot going on with that outfit. I'm going
to have a seizure. What is that supposed to be

(01:53):
a complimented though? So I looked at her picture, I'm like,
you don't want to start this whatever. I do the
same thing sometimes though, somebody leaves a crappy comment, I
go down the trail and I'm like, oh oh. And
it sometimes makes me feel better though, because I look
at them and I'm like, oh, go ahead, keep consider
think that they're not making it, They didn't intend to

(02:14):
make a crappy comment, that all they're doing is just
trying to be funny. Yes, I just want to just
like kind of like an online like. I think sometimes
two people think that they know us very well and
that they're joking with us the way that we joke
with each other, and they don't realize that when we
don't know you, it comes off a little rude. Yeah, okay,
I'm okay. I mean this shirt is a little crazy.

(02:36):
Is this a rude comment? I'm not sure how to
take this. You posted that great picture of five or
six of us from the morning show when we were
at the Norwegian Encore launching, right, and I didn't get
the memo about dressing up for that event, so I
was in a T shirt and shorts, so I stood
in the back of the picture, but then everyone was
in front of me, so I stood on my tiptoes

(02:56):
so I could be seen in the picture, but just
enough you wouldn't see what I was wearing. Right, somebody
commented and said, oh, Brodie, you look taller than I imagine.
You sound shorter on the radio. I don't know how
to take that, man. Yeah, it's kind of weird because
people will say, you know, you don't sound anything like
you look. I don't really know what else to sound.

(03:17):
Always is that a good thing or a bad thing
had a short sound like I do? I feel like,
do I sound like I'm inadequate? Not that short people are,
but like, do I saying I have a complex about
my I'm five tens? They I think they think of
you as being like Danny de Vito. Hey, folks, consider
the source and that shirt. You're gonna comment on me

(03:39):
looking like yesterday, I'm I'm trolling around on Instagram and
I find Garrett Garrett's posting workout video every day. I'm
that guy. Every day you do that. You know what?
I I've watched Mark Wahlberg do it, the Rock do it.
Not to say that I am them, but you know
it is. I get it. I hated if I was
me last year, I would have hated me this year.

(04:01):
What do you mean like I hated that with those
people that was like, I don't get posting workout video. Yes, exactly.
But when they started doing evate you to post workout
video because I started doing it, and I'm like, you
know what if I if I got inspired by two people,
two or three people, Yeah, isn't it an endorsement? It's
an endorsement. Let's call it what it is you're being
paid the same. I'm sorry throwing stones and glass. How

(04:30):
I'm pointing it out because you guys pointed out on
me every day. Scary didn't get the Workout endorsement. By
the way, By the way, Garrett has more to explain here.
But I mean, even if he's endorsing working Out whatever,
it doesn't mean he really wants to post things. I
mean he's still posting them and he doesn't sound like
he's having a problem with it. Back to you, Garrett,
And what Scary doesn't know because he only just lives

(04:52):
judges our lives via Instagram. I go to three different gyms.
I have three gyms I'm signed up for one that
we do work with twenty four hour Fitness, and two
others that I go to on my own and work
with people. But over the last year, I just said,
you know it, now is the time to take advantage
of something just like I mean, as much as it
might sound like a joke, but Elvis, you kind of
got people in gear in the sense that you said,

(05:13):
you know what, screw it, I'm gonna start going to
the gym. And I told you yesterday We've been friends
for a very long time, and I've never seen you
this committed to going to the gym, and it kind
of got me inspired of starting to go to the
gym more often, doing things and getting healthier. I wish
I wouldn't have called in sick today. You can't, but
I'll be back tomorrow, right, And thank you for saying that. Yes,

(05:35):
Garrel looks great, looks great. You look great. Perhaps I
should go to the gym. I see how this goes.
You look great? You know. Look. I by the way,
when I brought up you and your workout videos, I
didn't bring it up in a oh look I go.
It was like I think it's great. I think it's awesome. No,
thank you, I appreciate it, but hold on, maybe pull

(05:56):
it up. You're making money off that m dawesome. So
that's clearly some people's trigger workout videos at the gym.
Do you have a trigger on Instagram or Twitter or
anything that you see these videos and you're like, I'm
gonna follow this person. I have a few friends are
actually acquaintances that just it's all selfies. It's always been
a problem. If it's all selfies with really no reason,

(06:18):
it's like mood. Yeah, I woke good morning, I woke
up this way. Look, if you take a picture of
a selfie with the Eiffel Tower behind you, I'm all
for it. Or if you've got a beach behind you
or something that I get it. But when it's just
too selfie of you and there's really no particular reason why,
I'm like, why you know? And then you look at

(06:39):
their account and it's just dozens and dozens and dozens
from them. We know they write feeling cute today, made
delete later. What about when your entire Instagram story timeline
looks like a bunch of dotted lines because you know
you've done about fifty of them in one day, and
everyone is a different outfit, and then they go, what
a time to be alive? And every day they're waking
up in a different country. I follow some fashion boggers

(07:00):
and people like that that that's their entire existence unfollowed.
If you're a fashion blogger, I can see why you're
doing selfie. But I just we know a few people
who just here's a selfie. There's nothing about it, there's
no story. What's up. I'm bothered by what I like
to call we get it. You're there, Like if you
go somewhere and you put up two or three or
four or every few days. But when every time I

(07:22):
opened my phone, I get it, you're there. It's too much.
You're you're at this place, You're doing things in this place.
Every time you walk five feet in that place, it's
too much. I know a lot of people, you know what,
Maybe you think differently if you went somewhere. And secondly,
it's not only a picture of where you are, it's
how you're feeling while you're there. I mean, you're absolutely

(07:45):
sometimes just enjoy it. I don't need to see every
single thing you do every day when you go to
a country. Well that's the thing. You're assuming you're seeing everything.
But God help us if there's more. So I was
guilty you this once, I went to once every time.
So I went to the I went with Garrett. I'm
gonna count out my Italy photos. It was I went.

(08:08):
I went with Garrett to go see justin timber Lake,
and I had a I guess I was the get
you're there guy. I posted like about twenty different videos
and pictures of me at the concert. But the reason
why I did that in the moment is because I
felt like I wanted you guys to experience what I
was going through right now. It wasn't a ha ha,

(08:28):
look at me moment. It was more like, this is
so great, you guys, you should be enjoying this too.
No one ever enjoys concert snaps ever, or but that's
what I'm saying. I'm trying to actually rescued all this
year because he's about to. Okay, I was in the
British Version Islands for a week. There's only four shots
of the entire week of the ocean, but there's shots

(08:50):
of us like doing other things at the ocean, but
but you don't see ocean. Then I going into Italy,
there's one, two, three, for there's five photos of like
you can see Italy in the background, right. And how
many days were you there? A whole week? That's perfect?
Like one? Are you a one per day? Guy? I
would go with two a day. But it's like it's

(09:11):
a video every half hour and every restaurant and every
staircase and everything, here's one, here's one. So Danielle wasn't
at Disney. The thing the thing about Disney is this,
there's so much going on at Disney. But we've all
seen those rides Ride Daniel, what did I tell you though?

(09:31):
After seeing your photos? He booked a trip to Disney
because our photos gave him the push that he needed.
That's good. Let me know when you're going, so I
won't go because I hate kids at Disney. Every five
seconds said to him, what are you doing? He's and
people are on this trip with us. I go, I know, honey,
but are you posting more than I'm posting? And I

(09:52):
posted one Instagram photo of a day, just on the
regular page. And then I didn't cut the stories, but
I would record things throughout the day and then I
would save them till I got back to the hotel
because I wanted to enot the entire day, like I
was taking pictures for my own benefit, and pictures really
take a second to take. I mean it may posted
Sheldon make a day. Oh my gosh, he will get it.

(10:15):
He wanted to. I want my favorite stories. We were
in We're in South Africa. We're on safari. We're in
one of those you know, the open the open range
rovers whatever they are that and we're in the middle
of this forest and we're jungle or whatever it was.
And you hear this when you hear it. You hear
trees cracking, and then you can see the distance along

(10:39):
the top of the tree line. The trees are just
falling over. Its elephants. My god, I would die. It's
elephants on the way, and we're like, witness this, watch this,
No cameras up, nothing, We're just watching it and feeling it.
And Uncle Johnny's can you help me with night? I
can't get gangy and selfie with the trees falling back
and the guys like my fans, My fans need to

(11:03):
see the trees. Yes. Therefore, Uncle Tonny will never go
on safari with us ever again, because you don't even
have signal out there. There's nothing, there's nothing. I will
say that that is a moment that I would have
wanted to capture for myself to relive later on and go,
holy crap, look at what we just watching. Trees being

(11:23):
pushed over in front of you through a lens versus
looking at it live. It's two different things. Let me say,
I will stay for the record. I will stay for
the record. I will never ever actually come down on
anybody for overposting. I want to see all your stuff.
That's the whole reason that I have social media, so
I can get what do you think? I think that
all of this is fine. I don't care if somebody's
on vacation and they post a hundred little stories. I

(11:45):
actually like it. I want to know what you are doing.
What drives me crazy is when people actually save their
photos and post them later on because they want you
to think that they're back at this place. Again. We
have someone in this building who does it all the time. Maxwell,
Maxwell goes on so many cool trips. I love looking
he does? He does? He that question? He travel a lot?

(12:12):
Doesn't like Wait a minute, he just did the show today.
How is he in Berlin? Right? How are you in Portugal?
And you're you're also on the radio here? And then
there are no stories, It's just a photo like, oh,
I I didn't notice he travels every weekend. But maybe
he does? Does he? I don't know? He Maxwell does
travel like a blue ribbon traveler. And could you face

(12:33):
scary the next time you say something he's filming, stop
it right on his face. I'm actually I'm being pensive
right now. I'm in deep thought. Don't hurt yourself. So so,
for instance, okay, I'm I'm in the moment kind of guy. Okay,
if things happen during the course of the day, then

(12:54):
maybe I'll save it for a later kind of thing.
But once once that bridge is crossed, where it's a
couple of three days four days out, I rarely go
back and post something that I never got to post,
like you know you're saying, Maxwell does this, and other
people do it, like, for instance, like last week or
two three or two weeks ago, I met the boxer
Floyd Mayweather. But I just got the picture yesterday, so
I'm much should I post it now? Is it look weird?

(13:17):
Does it look like it's It looks like I'm being
I'm bragging two weeks ago you met Floyd may Weather.
But it's also not weird if you post it and
say this happened two weeks ago. If you post it
like yo, right now, I'm in Miami, here, I am
with Floyd Mayweather. When you were on the radio this
morning in New York. That's different. You do it as
a throwback and store back Thursday too. Oh, can we
get a backstory on one of the photos that Uncle

(13:38):
Johnny posted on from the trip in Italy? He rolled
down a hill that was funny Uncle Johnny will do
anything you tell him to do. So after lunch a
little wine. This is a Christmas Day. There's a hill
behind this this winery restaurant we went too, and uh,
Alex says, Uncle Johnny get down on the ground and

(13:58):
just roll down the hill. And he videoed it, and
Uncle Johnny did it, and then you put it to music.
It was funny. That's really all it is. Johnny will
do anything and everything you're telling him. I just wanted
the backstory on it. That's it, really. I wish it
was more to it, but there was, but there's not.
I was very impressed at how agile he is. I
thought he would break if he did something like Uncle Johnny.

(14:22):
You know, we're playing on some trips for this this year,
and Alex is like, you know, we gotta take him
with us. I'm like, oh god, no, no, he just
takes up so much real estate in my brain. I
wish someone else. You know what, Let's do a contest.
You get to take Uncle Johnny on a trip. That's
how we lose listeners. I don't just wanted. When Alex
says we have to, you know you're able to say no,

(14:44):
we don't marriage well, I'm trying to compromise, so maybe
Johnny can come for half the week. Oh I like that,
that's good for you. Or maybe a listener is going
to take him to somewhere brand yes minute more niggshell
