(00:49):
um you know, dug tag or or or music that
you recognize, Like there's one it's like we are farmers

think Elvis Duran in the Morning Show needs their own
like theme song or or sounder, like well, there's just
a round in the Morning Show? Uh that something like that,
(01:11):
like something where you know, well I don't know if
it's a fart, but something where it goes Elvis Durand
in the Morning Show. You love that. I just think
we need it? Why do we need it? Every good
thing has got it, every every every product to everything
that's out there has got something somebody has, whether it's
(01:31):
like a you know, but that's the thing. Somebody has something.
Let's just say, I mean we have we have this
intro which we could kind of consider a theme of sorts, right,
and once you play it over and over and over,
it does grow tired from time to time. Right, But
if we you just need like I don't even know
off the top of my head, but when you hear
(01:53):
them like McDonald's has it right exactly. And then I
mean there's some that are what's the one I'm thinking
of right now? It's like a it just goes ing
and I forget what that is. I forget, but they
all have a little something that sticks in your mind.
All right, Well you gotta come a PEPSI does PEPSI
(02:15):
have one? Coca Cola? Not that I know of Verizon,
but direct TV again, they all have them. Well, but
that's the thing. All you've come to the table with
is a well that just it just came to me
right now. You're very good. You're that guy that has
great ideas. I'm that guy, but you can't execute them.
(02:37):
You come up, you you go. You know, I was prepared.
I wasn't prepared. I just walked in, sat down and said,
you know, and it just came out. And naturally the
first thing I go, here's my idea. That was the
first thing that came in my mind. But even like
the Yankees, the New York Yankees, when somebody hits a
home run, right, they have the DoD ding ding ding
(03:00):
And I love how you put your your hand over
your mouth like you have a micro not and Son. Yes,
the our local, our local entertainment, right, PC Richard Son.
So I challenge you and anyone listening to come up
with something more than yes, we need that. We need
(03:20):
Elvis Durand morning shows something like that, or like Elvis
Durand in the Morning show you missed your calling the
Madmen days. But I'm telling you we need something anyway.
That's when I came up with today we got fifteen
minutes to talk on the the Elvis Durand fifteen Minute
Morning Show podcast. And like like Garret and I are
(03:41):
always telling you when you hear my voice Greg T
and you hear Garrett, well, you'd only know one thing
is happening. Bigger name online too. The Elvis durred Morning
Show is behind closed doors interviewing a massive celebrity to
be played back in a later time and when we
tell you that it's live tomorrow tomorrow, right, So, um,
(04:03):
we can't even give you any hints. But what I
can say is that the celebrities that are coming, I
see how you did that, Like, how can I get
myself in there? But no, it's celebrities. Well you also
look at it like I'm teasing it. Celebrity, but you're
also a great tea. Boys are great T by the way,
(04:25):
that should be your thing. You should always emphasize the
tea in anything. Well no, no, no, not just great tea,
but when you're saying something with the letter T in it,
that that's like your calling cards. Great great T Garrett Garrett.
So there's so many people that are here, like you know,
guys walking around with like badges on checking everything out.
(04:45):
You know, when these things happen. You know, there's only
a list celebs that are coming in because we've got people.
We've got people, celebrities, celebrities, other people from other departments
that are here. We've got cameras, we've got social media postings,
We've got so much happening right now. It's just like
it gets me nervous when I when I see so
many people gathered around and milling around doing things, I
(05:07):
get nervous. I feel like my stomach is in knots
and my heart starts to race. And I'm not even involved,
but yet I feel like, oh my god, there's just
so many people. There's a big deal. It's a big deal.
I can't like take it easy. It gets me nervous.
Do you get anxious A lot? I do, But I
don't get anxious a lot. I get anxious when big
things like us occur. This is what happens. Um So
(05:29):
you know, you know what I was thinking? What were
you thinking? What were you thinking? Garrett? Have you been
to Target recently? Just the two of us, Garrett and I.
We can make it. If we try just the two
of us, Elves durand fifteen minute more. The show still
needs work. Have you been to been to Target? I
have not been a Target recently. You know they changed
(05:49):
the floor plan they did. Yeah, you know they've been
doing that in a lot of stores. You know, also
in Nothing Beyond they changed the floor plan. I walked
into Target the other day and you know, you're you're
be confident in knowing where everything is. Of course, I
felt like it was the first day of school all
over again walking into Target. And you know when you
go to Disney World and they're doing construction, they put
(06:10):
up those nice little walls saying something's going on part
of our appearance, but it looks like a nice facade.
Target just says, screw it, We're gonna do the work
right in front of you while you're shopping. So I'm
such an inconvenient I'm looking forward to tostitos. They didn't
touch the food. I'll they touched everything else, But I'm
(06:30):
looking for I'm I was looking for chalk. I was
looking for chalk, asked the woman. Problem is the work
people at Target have no idea where anything is anymore.
So they're like, let me check, and they take out
that phone that that has everything, and you know where
it is in the A seventeen. I go to A
seventeen looking for I'm in the freaking card section. Like
(06:51):
they have no idea and they're doing the work right
in front of us. I think you should just go
bind on Amazon. This is the problem with some of
these stories. When they knew the work during the working hours,
you know, it throws everybody off, and then people are frustrated,
like I don't want to go there, you know what
I mean? At that? At that point, why not work
overnight like at Disney World. Right, work in the overnight.
Disney World can convert from Halloween to Christmas that in
(07:12):
twelve hours. That's right, I dude, I know all about
why the store shuts down nine o'clock. The magic little
mice come in and start renovating Target so they don't
have to inconvenience us as customers going in there. I'm
trying to get around a forklift. You're right that that
is a guy trying to pave a pave a way
(07:33):
to to put a new display section. I don't need
that there. You don't need it, you don't deserve it.
My problems and troubles with Target, I totally get it.
I really don right. You know what, Here's the thing
that these stores, these big box retailers, are losing a
lot of business because people are buying things online. So
why do you want to push your customers further out
the door? Do it when it's an inconvenience time for you,
(07:56):
and make it more convenient for the uh. The shoppers
because to right to understand, like how many times have
you got to a store like that where the lines
are like down an aisle and you're wondering, why don't
they have three or four people on a cash roach
or why am I only dealing with one person? I
get it right, And then they wonder, why are we
shutting down? Why is nobody's shopping? Because it's an inconvenience?
(08:17):
It is? Yeah, I agree, man, So we walk into
your local Target. If you haven't been in the last
I would say a couple of weeks or or a month,
notice something's different. Are they doing it nationwide? I think? So? Really? Okay,
so have to go check out? Yeah the store right
outside of work in Jersey, yet over by my house,
same thing. You have no idea. You start to get
used to something right and then they just change it. Yeah,
(08:40):
I hate thank you. And then you know what, you
causes yourself to not be able to run in and
get it and run out. Oh yeah, now you've got
to spend time. You gotta spend time. And who wants that?
I want to I want to run in, run out,
or I want to drop somebody off kind of like
maybe make one loop around the parking lot and pick
somebody up, you know when as they come out. I
need to learn where my underwear is and is right
all over again, God man, inconveniencing the consumers agree with
(09:04):
you many So we got a tweet. Let's give them
a shout out. Got a tweet. They were listening two
days ago when when they decided to give us the
rein to this podcast, and uh, they said, uh, Ali
Carter five, what's up? I love it when great Tea
Gregg te the frat boy. I gotta change my name, man,
I really do you got over the frat boy thing?
(09:26):
All right? Well? Uh, and Garrett vo go in behind
the scenes of work on the Elvis Durrand Morning Show
Morning Show. So Garrett and I just tried to be real,
you know, like we know where we sit on that
totem pole of importance. You know, you've got Elvis duran
of course, then you've got you know, our executive producer Nate,
and then you you need Danielle and Gandhi so they're there.
(09:48):
And then you got Scary who helps Elves out with
all his technical stuff and does a lot of editing
very important. Then you've got Dave Brody, our other producer
who's in there, like, you know, writing notes and jokes
and things to make the show sound fun and everything.
You've got Scottie Beeve and who has to control you know,
our show from another studio, make sure everything's operating with
the satellites. You've got Elvis's assistant Andrew, who has to
(10:12):
make sure that Elvis looks good. And then he's all prepared,
has to print out the prep. So who's left me
and you man, and that's it, I mean. And then
also sometimes Diamond is in there. She needs, you know,
to report what's going on in text messages or if
there's any phone calls coming through. And then what's left
is Garrett and myself. This is it, dude. Every company's
(10:33):
got those two. Are those three people that you know
where you know where you stand. You know when there's
a meeting going on. I said a couple of days ago,
there's a meeting going on and you are not invited.
And that's us, We're not invited. You know you know
what I feel like? Bam, bamn, I like that. What
is that one? What? Bam in the face? That's right, Bam,
(10:54):
give it to me, Give me it again. Bam bam
in the face, and they send us out here by ourselves.
A matter of fact, today we're not even in the
usual studio that we would use to do the recording,
because what happens here on a Thursday. On a Thursday,
we have something called programming meetings. Scary, I'm gonna gona,
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna send you
(11:17):
bam bam. We have Thursday programming meetings when the entire staff,
no matter what position you hold, the entire staff has
to come in and we have to hear about what's
going on, you know, throughout for the next week or
or two, so we to hear about promotions and all
those kind of fun things. So today we can't even
have our real promotions meeting because there's so many reporters here,
(11:39):
so many social media people, there's so much going on.
Where would you have it? And they've got us it
tucked away in a studio that we never use. Garrett
had a city here and hook up extra microphones just
to make sure that we can't even record that. Yeah,
I mean Garrett, before we started this, Garrett five minutes
ago was underneath the table yelling, obody, give me a flashlight. Yeah,
(12:02):
you'll be amazed what duct tape can do, right, a
little duct tape. And we're finding plugs. We had to
unplug things just to get other microphones into work. This
is all true story. People think it's very luxurious here.
Not the case at all. This is like you're buying
a car on the side of the road and then
you know you kind of gotta, you know, fix it
so that doesn't overheat every now and then, and only
you're the one that knows how to work it. You
gotta pop the hood, you gotta put some water in
(12:22):
the radiator, make sure that that public can still run,
and get you a point at point B. So your
birthday is coming up next week. It is not coming up.
It is coming up. Why are you that guy that
doesn't like to talk about it. I don't like to
talk about my birthday because when you talk about a birthday,
it means that so many birthdays have already coming gone,
And then it makes you have to reflect on what
(12:43):
have you done with your life? So have you succeeded?
I mean, we got a minute to talk about this,
but this goes even deeper. We talked about this we
were we had to go attend to wake the other day.
He doesn't get older. Great, t is just a fun guy,
same guy that wants to get rid of the frat
boy on Twitter. Well, but the rat boy name really
is old. Times have changed, I mean it really is.
It's time to get rid of the frat boy name.
(13:05):
I get it. But you don't want to accept the
fact that you're getting older. Well, I don't want to
accept the fact that I'm getting older. You're You're correct.
But then also when I when I think back in time,
I feel like there's so many years that I could
have done something with my life and I didn't. And
it always makes me think about that. It doesn't make
me think about where I am today. It makes me
think about the times missed. It makes me think about
(13:26):
sour times that were in my life that I'd like
to put behind u. But it's easier to find the
negatives as opposed to the positives. Well, but the negatives
they're always surrounding me because they're with me. I'm trying
to get rid of those negatives, but I just can't.
You know, you know, you sum it up. Your friend
Greg Ta right here has not had the easiest life
he has not. I know that I made it a
lot of fun and made you all laugh with me,
(13:48):
but it's been a tough road getting here and now
here right here, Bam, bam, give me it's something, bam.
Come on later, jeen minute morning show. There you go.
