Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
Presents a camera you wish there was a camera in
the room, and thinks like this happened, like poor, poor

(00:23):
like Brodie's trying to tell us a story and get
our information out there about something, and Scary doesn't care.
Just like, so we're ready to start the podcast right
over whatever Brody's saying, you can listen, and all of
us goes He's still talking speaking to us. Here's the thing,
you know, And I have to tell you part of

(00:44):
the beauty of this show. With so many people, with
so many important things to say, we can actually all
talk at the same time, and remember what we all say. Yeah,
I mean, it's not as easy now, and so I
get it. It's okay, Scary, It's okay. No, he's what
I want to say. You know. Sometimes we hold on.
Scary almost said something. What Scary say it? What I'm saying.

(01:04):
What I wanted to say was all I wanted to
do is hit the record button so I could come
around the table and sit down at the desk. So,
I mean, as long as we're all right exactly. Sometimes
complaints to you, and he says, Elvis, I can't just
like hit that more because I don't spit that way,
you know, when you're like, hey, listen, just hit the
hit this bull's eye right. But now, in the same respect,

(01:26):
Brodie was sitting here talking it's yours like, okay, So
whenever we're ready, we're ready to go. To be fair,
I think there are so many moving parts on this
show sometimes it's hard to organize it where it's only
one person speaking at the same time. I get it.
I love you Scary, I love you Scary. Out of
the need for efficiency, said we gotta start the show attention,
and it's okay, and and the show is on. Now

(01:48):
we're doing a show about starting the show, so when
do we start? We should talk about what was going on.
During a commercial break towards the end of the show,
Elvis wasn't in here for this. Yes, Gonda stormed out
of the first time I've ever seen her do this.
Why did you storm out? Storming? And really got up
and I exited because they were all screaming at each other,

(02:11):
was yelling at he was yelling at Tea, and to
be honest, I saw both sides of their point, but
he was like, no, I talked to me. I did
see his side. I think that you interpreted it the
wrong way what he was trying to say, and Gandhi
Greg t couldn't explain what he was trying to say properly,
and Brody took it the wrong every time he was
trying to explain the more party was yelling every time

(02:32):
he reworded what he wanted to say was more offensive. See,
just like everyone listening to this podcast, Yeah, I'm in
the dark. I have no idea what happened, no idea
what you're talking story. Who should tell the story? You
or David Brody or I'll tell it because I'm an
imparcel it party. Clearly, aren't you in here for this idea?

(02:53):
So you're in there in the dark too? Alright, now
correct me if I'm wrong, guys, but quietly, please don't scream. Okay. So, Elvis,
you have a book that is coming out as pre
sale presale. We're gonna be able to buy it tomorrow,
right Wednesday, the six very exciting. So then it came
about that Brody too, is writing a book, and he
kind of inadvertently said, how does one go about getting

(03:14):
a book published? Elvis, is you know, like legit? And
he's got someone and he's gonna get it into bookstores
and this and that, and then Rody immediately got a
butt hurt and was like, what do you mean? I'm
liten at it too, And then boom on the dynamite.
There's a couple of spots missing in that story. Okay,
so what is great? So great? You'll have your moment
because I think where I'm so in love with Gandhi
right now? Okay, okay, hold on, so yes, Brody, go ahead.

(03:36):
So Greg t adding to what Gandhi said. He didn't
invertently ask me, deliberately asked me. He said, I don't
understand how you're gonna sell a book. They're not gonna
put it in stores. No one's gonna see it. How
you gonna sell a book? He didn't say it like,
And I said, what do you mean they'll put it
in who's gonna put your book? You're not anybody? You know,
You're not Elvis. Elvis has a machine behind him. Elvis
has like, you know, he's famous. Who's gonna buy your book? Okay,

(03:56):
hold on, now, scary were you in here? So I
walked in halfway through, and then I was trying to
understand what greg T was saying his his argument, and
I said to Brody, I think what Gregg he's trying
to say is your book is not going to get
featured in a bookstore on an end cap situation. End
cap meaning would put the cardboard display up with I
think that's what greg T was talking about. They didn't.

(04:18):
He didn't say that the bookstore wouldn't carry your book
and somewhere, okay, And then Brody screamed at me, He's like,
you know, what are you trying to say? You don't
know anything about my book. What I'm saying is I
haven't even written it yet. They don't know what it's
a great doesn't know and he's already assuming that it's
not going to be anything. Okay, Well, wait a minute.
What I was saying, Gandhi is saying he didn't. You

(04:41):
may have been a little insulted by something that wasn't
meant to be an insult, but it may have been.
I wasn't here. But you know what, Garrett, you've been
nice and quiet. What did what did you hear? I
came in the point where they're both trying to explain
what they were trying to say to each other. The
original I heard they recapped what they were saying, and
Scary was trying to defend Greg Tea, but he didn't
help his cause because he was just insulting Brodie. I

(05:03):
get what Brody was saying was they weren't finding the
positive in Brodie writing the book. They were starting it with,
You're not going to be able to do this right
off the bat and hasn't even written page one yet. Okay, great,
my whole career has been misinterpreted. Let's just stick to
the facts. So Brodie says, I'm gonna put out a book. Okay,

(05:23):
I'm gonna write a book and we're gonna put it.
And you said to him what I said, So, Brodie,
can you show me or tell me how you go
about like writing this book and getting to publish and
all this stuff like and then he said, well, I
have a publisher, I have an agent. And I said,
I know, but but Elvis like has like a publisher,
like a real publisher that was like gonna publish his
book and like a hardcover. Would you know he's gonna

(05:44):
put it like in Barnes and Noble, like when you
walk in, like there, it's gonna be on the table
that's late. But the way a book, Okay, I can
see how he would be like, well, wait a minute. Okay,
First of all, I didn't have a publisher the whole time.
I started with an agent just like he has. Okay,
so that's the agent's job is to go out and
get a publisher. Certainly, even if you don't have a

(06:04):
book in a bookstore. There is a thing called Amazon
which sells uh crapload book Like, who would even know
that his book is for sale? That's also on a
show called Elvis a random and to podcasts where everyone
wants to buy the book. So I said, how do
you know I don't have a real literary agent. She's
a real literary agent. He's like, But because Elvis has

(06:25):
a real you don't have like a literary agent like
he's got like he's got like a team. Your literary
agent is she? Right? Yeah, she's the vice president of
a huge company and she has other books she's helped get. Okay,
John Grisham like, not like that? And then and then
I said, who is John Grisham before his first Nobody?

(06:46):
If you go to Barnes and Noble, no s, by
the way, you'll see that the books and by people
you don't know who they are, but you understand I'm saying, Elvis,
like you do, like a legitimate book. Okay, that's me.
You want to That's okay. That's where you have to stop.
You're now accusing him of not writing in a legitimate book.
He hasn't even written the book yet. Every book is legitimate.

(07:10):
Everybody stand the technically with using the words that you're saying.
You're right, Brodie is going to write a legitimate book
like he's gonna paper with like you know, font numbers. Okay, book.
I'm not saying, Gandhi. I you may disagree with me.
I was even in here. I can see why Brody
would be a little insulted by right, Daniel? Could you

(07:33):
see I saw both sides of That's what I said.
I said, I saw both sides, but I wasn't trying
to jump in, and no one was asking me. They
were all just screaming, son, exit, What is great T side?
I'm not writing a legitimate, legitimate there's no sorry, there's
no reason to peiful. What was his side? What I think?
And correct me if I'm wrong. I think he originally

(07:54):
started with how does one go from not having a
platform to then finding a platform to get this book
out there. That's the way he worded it. Just really
wasn't great. Okay, But Elvis is Elvis Durant, nationally broadcaster
around the country on his own show, which is viable
to put out a good pace. And he was using
other examples like Charlemagne, the guy he's got a couple

(08:15):
of books out, you walked through an airport Hudson News,
basically saying that Brody is a loser and that he
doesn't know. That's what it sounds like to me. It
sounds like he's saying, you know, Elvis is such a superstar,
Bobby Bones is a superstar, Charlett made a superstar. Not Okay, okay,

(08:37):
let me let me be very clear about something. In
my opinion, I can see in launching a book, maybe
I I at this point I have a little bit
of an edge over Brody. Okay, okay, whatever, Stop being
a sarcastic asshole. But what I'm saying is, but what
I'm also saying is the content of my book and
the content of Brodie's book two different things. And so

(09:00):
he may come out and everyone made the word of
mouth may say, let me tell you this, Brod, He's
onto something and it may catch off, catch on fire,
and and and sell like hotcakes, and so so out
sell mine. It's a book. It's not a radio show.
It's not it's they're different things. Saying I couldn't do
a radio show. I didn't say that, could you could

(09:21):
you do show? Yes? But all I'm saying like we're
comparing apples. But there are chefs, and then there are
people like in their kitchen like they you know, can cook,
and they go, I'm a chef. Let me tell you,
I'm Brody Wright stuff all the time. He's a great writer.
So and I'm not a great writer. So you're I
don't know. I think you're insulting him at I didn't mean.
There was no insult. I never ever ever called him

(09:42):
a loser. I never said anything I ever said, I
never did everything. I didn't call him a loser. I
didn't even Gandhi. Gandhi did say the way you chose
your words was a little peculiar. Well that's just because
that's me. I don't have the good Can you tell us?
Can you tell us how he said what he said?
I don't know where for word, what he said, but
it was something like, yeah, but Elvis is Elvis. You know,

(10:03):
it's like legitimate, it's like Elvis. You know, you're not Elvis.
That's like, you can't be a model. You're not Kate Upton.
She's Kate Upton. You're not Kate Upon. You can take selfies,
that's not they're not getting They're not a photographer taking
getting pictures taken by them. If you're a model, you'll

(10:26):
have a photographer that takes pictures up. I can go
do that in your book. Okay, So you're okay, okay,
in a sentence or two, what is your point? What
I'm saying is very limited there, you know, the length
of your book. There are celebrities that put out books
and people buy them because they know who they are
and they want to read about their lives. Then we
have us, and and we're we can put we can

(10:49):
put out a book too, And I'm sure we all,
like you said, we all have a book inside of us,
but we're just not like gonna sell our book like
our book would sell to like our our family. You
know what I'm saying, that's the extent that word book
would go. So I'm gonna go ahead and walk back
any you understand I'm saying I do, But I just

(11:10):
I think that I don't know I got great Say something, Garrett,
What is the name of great Teas book title? Gregg
T Let me explain myself. No, it's not. Actually that's
a great title. Sometimes in all of Greg Te's weirdness,
I cut through and try to understand his fuzzy logic
and try and explain it. You just described a rice cooker.

(11:31):
He understands. But in some level I'm not pulling putting
full stocking in you, Greg T. I just I'm just
saying there's one part of that conversation that was being
the argument that was ensuing that I understood where you
were coming from, and that is you need a good promoter.
There's got to be money in marketing, dollars behind making
sure the book is in full distribution and in front

(11:53):
of how does Greg Te? Who's Lisa Gardner? Who Who's
Marlon James that we can do this? Who is Mark
Breeny Kist? Who is j O Rob These are people
who have the best selling books on the New York Times,
have radio show, and Amazon dot com. But I'm sure
they've written other books. Before, like they had to write

(12:14):
a first one towhere? Who is Jonathan Kellerman? Do you
know who that is? Tara Conklin. This has no basis
of anything. Are the biggest writers in America right now?
Mary Oliver? Actually you know, okay, coming from Brody, I
can hear how it sounds a little insulting to you,
but it's it's true though. In the world of books
in the world of radio, they really are two different worlds.

(12:34):
And so I think an answer to your question, who
is he to put out a book or just like
all the other people who are out there putting up
books and it may it may be a best seller,
and it may not be maybe and it may not be. Okay,
you just don't know. And then the side which nobody's
talking about. As I said, you know what, Gregg, Yes,
you came from a troubled childhood, you had a miserable father. No,

(12:56):
and you've you've you had no joy in your life
growing up, and you turned your life into life. Will
you bring joy to millions of people for twenty five years?
I said, that's a thing. I said, that's a book
people would read, that's a story. So rather than ship
on him, I encouraged him that he has a story
in him. When we had Corramo Brown right on Today

(13:16):
with us, he basically said the same thing. He went
through a lot of crap and then turned his life
around and now he's giving amazing advice to people. So
maybe you do have that type of book in you
as well. Look, I was Jackass before MTV had Jackass.
I mean, I've got a book. If you don't have
a book in you now, once is he'll cram it
up your a and you'll have a You'll have a

(13:37):
book in Bro's book. You're right, you have to pay
for full book. I am definitely buying your book. I'm
gonna get a free freaking book. You certainly will Gandhi
won't because you stab me in the back. I didn't
stab in the back. I always stab in the front.
I want for the record, seriously, oh my whole career here,
you're the only one that has finally seen what I'm

(13:58):
trying to say. I am want to I tried to
defend him. I think you may have changed her mind.
It's really tough because I thought I knew where you
were coming from. But then the more he tries to
defend himself. Then I saw why Brodie was getting irritated,
which is why I just exited the room. What happened?
And I know in your whole career has that said.

(14:20):
We're doing this podcast here on Tuesday, March five Tomorrow
Wednesday March sixth pre sale. Please please go to Amazon
and buy my book called Where Do I Begin. There's
actually there's more to the title. It's the stories that
I sort of remember. No, it's good because people were

(14:40):
people were looking for and they couldn't find anything yet,
so they at least they know what to look for tomorrow,
search for Elvis Durant. Good. I mean, we already have
the coloring books. By the way, so far the coloring
books out selling the other books. And when Brodies comes out,
