Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast firm?
Elvis represents morning shows, so transparent, scary, What are you
talking about? Oh I saw that too. Yeah, we had
someone from corporate in here who was observing. I'm doing
quotation walks right now, you know, just seeing who does
(00:25):
water around here? Making notes whatever? Scary started doing jobs
that don't exist in radio, just to make He was
cooking eggs about you are looking trying. You were trying
to look busier than you actually are. No, I was
acting that normal self. This was how you were in commercial.
Your normal self means you're eating food at this You
(00:45):
actually put down food to talk to her? What are
you okay? No, all of listen. All I was doing
was my job. I have a certain job when Elvis
is not in the room, So I made sure that
I had the checklist of things that I needed to
be doing, and I was focusing on those tasks. But
you were like fake listening to stuff. Yeah, there wasn't
even anything on, and you were like all up on
your headphones like you were a producer, Like, yeah, what
(01:07):
what's happened? You actually said, did did you see this?
Did did you see this? Did you see me? It
was like, daddy, look at me. I look, I can
do a handstand. You were touching the buttons on the
back that you've never touched before. You're saying that I
was showing off. That's what they're saying. We're saying you
were creating a fake work environment. I don't know if
it's showing off or just straight up lying. But you said,
right now, I'm working on ways to save the company money.
(01:29):
You were not. I will say I saw your point
because I kind of knew these people were well there there.
It's it's like when you were a kid in school
and the teacher would have the principles somebody watching from
the back of the room and kind of have greater performance.
I knew something was up, so the teacher would do
with extra great job. Yes, wait a second, she's never
this engaged. And that's what we're saying here. No, no, no,
(01:52):
So you're saying you're trying to compare what happened just now.
Have you ever seen at this time, a like five
minutes left in the show him that No. Never, it's
called fronting. Yeah, Usually you were backing it up. Normally
you're on Instagram like, oh hey, like that we all
(02:13):
are we're all on guard just a little more when
people are observing us. Well, I try, I don't know,
I try and look a little busier, yell, and I
literally did exactly the same thing. Yeah you did texting.
She was kicking me, and I almost wanted to text
you and say, hey, this is corporate start looking, Bessie. Yeah,
well we were. I mean, I did my report. I
did what you asked me to do. We did go
(02:33):
in the other room and record a lot of spots
prove that we make a lot of money. You should
have announced it there, like when you left room. I
guess I got to record these commercials so we keep
the company making money. Oh, we had a pile of
people observing us doing yeah. Yeah, So okay, if you
want to call people out on their ship, all right,
Elvis does the same thing when our consultant is in town.
When our consultant comes here, are you really calling him out? Right? Now?
(02:58):
You're going to call him out? I say, are different
than that. I've worked by the way, I've worked with
other show hosts. When somebody's in the room, they try
and look extra busy. If you're listening to our show
and we start talking about highbrow things. The consultants are
listening right, because you know when when the consultant comes in,
he looks in from the other glass with Scotty Liam Malcolm.
(03:18):
I don't know if the listeners don't know books when
when Dennis is sitting in the next room in the
dark with his hands class, his arms class, looking in,
I just noticed Elvis is super focused, super engaged. It's
like we're kind of all in that moment, aren't we know?
I sent Dennis dirty means I feel like I'm a
(03:39):
four race car just performing it peak performance. But if
if he knows you're kicking it up, then he also
knows when he's not there. You got experience, then't even
from the beginning said okay, so we were talking about
how people from corporate were here. So Scary was trying
(04:01):
to look at extra busy and look extra important. He's
pressing all sorts of buttons that he normally doesn't press
doing He's like, this launches the space. He's trying to
freaking out over people. Well, they're apparently efficiency experts, so
we're trying to look efficient. Whatever. Um So then Scary
(04:21):
threw you under the bus by saying that when Lydia.
Malcolm is here. You look extra busy. No, I don't know.
Different you didn't turn your mic on before you sat
down over here. No, I don't know. I said, I
every very clear. I have nothing to prove to anyone
in this world. Nothing say not is scary because he says, yeah,
(04:45):
it's so funny. Am I right? Absolutely? To be honest,
you started, did you threw one second? I don't think
Mike's not on. Your mic is on, but you're not
saying anything worth I say, even the mic is tuning out.
By the way, can the efficiency experts come in now
to like you and not knowing how to work? What
(05:06):
do you need? Consultants and people are export I can't hear.
We tend to be on our best behavior. We tend
to go for mile we go. We aren't we like
a Formula one race car. That's that's this Mike sounds
like shit. It's maybe maybe it's because you're saying ship. Look.
(05:28):
I don't mean to sound cranky or anything, but no,
those first of all those people here today, we're not
efficiency experts. And secondly, we have nothing to prove to anyone.
I don't care what they think about us. We're doing
fine on our own. You wasted a lot of time
then they weren't efficiency experts. A little time back pressing,
buttons that you know if if you want to look
busy and you want to you want to get someone's
(05:50):
attention in a positive way, what about me? But the
ones that can get your ship can How many times
obviously are you talking about something? You need a piece
of sound? It's obvious. Oh my god, that movie Jaws.
You want the jaw steme you turn around Scaries on
his night listening to Howard. Here's what I'm gonna do.
(06:13):
I'm gonna start becoming an efficiency expert. Look here's the reason. Look,
you know me. I'd like to scream and scary. You
know I love you and we're all playing around. But
if our show became efficient, it wouldn't be our show.
This show is. It's the terraces of inefficiency. Fancy, but
(06:34):
that's what we are. We come in here and we
use an efficiency to our advantage of us better than others.
People should have our assholes discussed. Really, I didn't need
the whole part. Scary brushed cobwebs off one of the monitors.
He doesn't normally use to show that he's using it.
There's like smoke coming off the keyboard timing this thing.
(06:57):
I don't think the song comes on and then well, no, Scary,
if you want to impress in you and start start
with us in the room. Don't you think, though, that
it's so easy to tell when someone's trying to kiss
your ass and brown nose, and then once you see it,
you're like, oh, I like you less right now. I'm
not saying that about Elvis is far too smart not
to see that coming. He's a radio professional Hall of
(07:17):
Famer and the New York Times bestseller Brody is efficient
example we've seen this. Nate used the example of when
it's teacher has a principle in the back of the
room taking notes with I remember these teachers being extremely
on their best behavior, extremely engaging to the class. And
(07:37):
I'm like, that's because the principles in the watch that
microphone is bad microphone. I saw Scary turn it on, though, Well,
I mean it was kind of funny. The the woman
who was in here, she seemed very nice. I said, well,
if you want to watch the show that she was
here to check out our computer systems. Right, the I
(07:58):
t stuff that's if you want to come watch how
we use it, you have to come earlier. You came.
You came late in the show where we don't really
do anything. And then when I said that, everyone in the
the room it don't tell her we don't do anything.
I mean, And I was trying to figure out why
you guys are freaking out because you think they're efficiency experts.
I didn't think that you said that. I said it.
I'm trying to make a here. She did have a clipboard,
(08:19):
put a good scare, and all he did, he told
all of us that's what they were. Don't listen to him.
They were here to look at our antiquated computer. That's
gonna text Danielle and I to do something because he
said we were doing nothing follow her on Instagram just
to make her feel better about herself. And I were
doing we're kicking each other out of the dab and
I was like autographing books, telling dirty it's Broni's telling
(08:41):
dirty jokes. I'm like, that's because I know when my
bread is buttered. You beautiful son of a bit. Are
you talking that helps the New York Times best selling anyway?
So what else you I'm talking about? How about you
being a New York Times bestseller? What's the next book
gonna be about? I don't I don't know. I mean
(09:01):
I do, I'm already writing. It doesn't matter. My life
is a New York Times bestseller? How's your book coming along, Brody?
I have a literary agent, and I'm working on the proposal.
You have to put together a proposal, and so I'm gathering,
uh screenshots of tweets putting stories together. Yeah, I've I've
started writing the proposal. I love that. Have you written
the book in my head? I have yet? I think
(09:22):
that's so cool. Okay, everyone should write a book. But
I didn't want to get engaged until you got engaged,
like you know the rule. So I wanted your book
to end before I start doing anything. It's gonna take
you a long time to write a book, you know.
I know you should have started that already. Well, I
got the proposal in January, because damn it, I know
you better hurt get yours alright, alright, that's awesome, all right,
(09:45):
I got my second book in my head too. You go.
What's the first one called? Uh? Free dessert? Even is
not even? I thought about you this weekend I think
I told you guys this, But we went out to
eat and the guy brought over pizza and it was
a hot piping pizza. He dumped the entire pizza by
accident onto the girl I was with. She burned her wrists,
she got all over her clothes, and then the manager
(10:05):
came over and said, I'm going to take care of
most of your meal. And we were kind of like
most of the meal rying, I know, deal with the
red sauce. Yeah, Dina with the permanent scars on her wrist.
What did so? Did he end up buying the entire meal? Well,
(10:25):
he bought everything except for two drinks. I'm not sure
why he didn't pick up the last two drinks, but
that was it. I was like, what about her dry queen?
That funny how two drinks and he didn't pay for
two drinks? And you guys will never go back again.
I probably will never go back again. Why don't you
talk about him in the air. You should use their name. Oh,
I mean, if you want me to, I have to
look up the name of the place. I have to
find the name of the place first. Okay. I had
(10:46):
a similar experience where I went to Abachi restaurant. I
ate all my habbachi and my family were still eating.
Then a mouse came out from the habachi grills, ran
across the grill, and then the guy's like, well, you
ate most of it, so I can only take away half.
I go. I probably just date rat poop. Should should
have called me. First of all, that rat didn't burn
(11:07):
itself on and they made you pay. They paid. I
paid for half of it. No, no, paid for the
half of the You're gonna pay for the half of
the racket that Manhattan with a rat runs across the
grill on a pad of butter. I've seen you stole
this from I stole this whole bit the muppet a
(11:32):
tin roof. Oh my god. Here's the thing. Don't be
an asshole because you never know if the person you're
being an asshole, who has access to a microphone or
a book exactly is the Barry Mantel people called again,
What did they say? You don't understand why you're you're
saying that when you met Barry Mantel, he was an asshole.
We still have no record of you ever interviewed viewing him,
(11:52):
and I didn't interview him. I met him at a
at a fundraiser and he was a jerk. Yeah, he
was a jerk when I met him. I've heard that
about by Manilow from multiple people, and it makes me like,
why am I surprised? I mean, but you can be
a jerk to someone, but it so happens. Maybe they
have a book coming. Remember the time he came He
came here and he was performing downstairs. Left because I
(12:13):
didn't like him. He was performing in the R studio downstairs,
the lounge whatever we call it now, and he got
upset because they didn't roll out the red carpet and
when he walked in, people didn't make a big fanfare
about him being there. I remember one of the jocks
at the other radio station saying, you're never gonna believe that.
You know what, now that you're saying this, they're going
to call you. Well, you know the thing about the book.
(12:35):
The book is out, it has been published, people have
purchased it. What do they expect you to do? I
don't know, a new one attraction, don't. I don't know
what they're saying, but I mean, I'm talking about Barry
Manto being a jerk in every interview I do right
and the more they bring it up, the more we're
going to address it. So they just called, yet, you're
allowed to have an opinion of an observation or something
(12:56):
you've been part of. What about Madonna? Have you heard
from Madonna's people? No? No, But Madonna's fans are mad
at me because I said I said in the book
that it was a difficult interview with Madonna, and it was.
All four of them were difficult interviews. But the headline
in the newspaper was Elvis Durand says Madonna is difficult.
(13:16):
Dot dot dot would like to interview her and and
I want to interview with her again. And so people
just this hag on Instagram came after her Twitter. I'm
like fun her, and so I just blocked her. What
the person said was hilarious. She said, interviewing Madonna's way
above your pay grade. I mean, you don't even know
what I make for a living. First of all, what
do you what do you say? You don't say that
to someone? How stupid are you? Twe you like that
(13:38):
is above her pay grade? Yeah, above her pay grade?
But yesterday pay great, little hag? Is it funny? How mature?
We turned over? Like one comment I'm like, yeah, well
you're ugly and your mom probably doesn't like you. I know,
you know what your sister's fat. I don't know. That
just made me mad. Don't commit me with something stupid anyway.
Don't bring a knife to a gunfight, because we will
(13:59):
end this. I'm being very negative in this beautiful podcast.
That's because there's nobody here watching. If the consultant was here.
Keep in mind, I walked in late and the first
thing I hear is scary storing you under the bus.
It wasn't though you didn't. And then everyone specifically said,
really sorry about to throw us under the bus. Elvis
does it? We all do it when everybody's on their guard.
(14:23):
Everybody's on guard, everybody's heightened the weirdness we weren't. That's
how I proved my worth alright, more efficient when I'm shopping,
I think the music is about to start playing it.
We have like three minutes left to be honest, but
I will tell you that I love you all. I
(14:44):
can't imagine working with anyone else any I want no
one more efficient than you. The lack of efficiency, I
think that's what makes this show really work well. The
fifteen minute Morning show
