Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
firms show the Extreme Weather edition of the fifteen Minute
Morning Show where everyone was extremely eager to get the
hell out of here and just leave Garrett and David

(00:22):
Brody and myself sitting here today? Was that the right? Garrett,
David Brady and myself. I'm a big fan of me
rather than myself. Like for me, I used myself as
I did it by myself with myself, but I don't
refer to myself as myself like, oh she and myself myself,
just me. Because I did something on Twitter the other
day that upset you, I'm sure you'll talk about We'll
talk about that on our other podcast. But if it

(00:43):
was two people, would it's scary? Just say then Brody
and I. This is where I'm said, he gets me
every time. This is he gets me because we I
put this out on Twitter the other day and I said,
you posted Charlie and I were in a you together. Nope,
you said, it's a picture of Charlie Pooth and I. Yes,
because there's a famous play called The King and I

(01:06):
and I always think about but I was in that
show The King and I. Yeah, it was one of
the like the Kids. I was in fourth grade and
it was my first acting debut on stage for a
blessed sacrament in Staten Island, and my job was to
meet I forget the name of the woman who falls
in love with the King, but I was to come

(01:27):
out present myself. Uh. Yeah, that's the actor in the
original movie. Yeah. Uh and uh I had dirty hands before.
I was supposed to like, you know, put my hands
down and like kiss her. And I had dirty hands.
I was supposed to wipe them off. Got a huge laugh,
and then I retired after that. Yeah. I was in
the King and I at school also yeah. Yeah, And
I was also in um, My Fair Lady, I'll Meet

(01:47):
me too, but they called it My Fair Student and
it was all like a parody version. So I was
in a instead of I'm getting married in the morning.
Is that the thing you guys? No, no, no, no,
no no. I stepped on his punch line. Go no.
I was just a story, really, my story. It was
My Fair Students. So instead of I'm getting married in
the morning, ding dong the school the church bell is

(02:09):
gonna chime, it was I'm getting tested in the morning,
ding dong the school bell. Is gonna chime. It was
all and I didn't write it as as as it
turns out, But it was all a schooled up version
of My Fair Lady. I was in Once Upon a Mattress,
remember that one, a red Ruff. Also, we had oh, Oliver, Oliver,

(02:32):
Please I want some more? Yeah, I know I wasn't
in Oliver. Yeah, back to the King. I didn't understand
why I couldn't be in Annie though. When I was
in fifth grade, fifth grade, I went to go try.
I didn't. I didn't know that. I didn't know if
I was. I didn't know the story of Annie yet,
so I I just saw that a bunch of kids
were trying out to be orphans, so I didn't know

(02:52):
it was an all female orphanage. So I tried out
and then they said, I'm sorry, we no parts for you.
And I I didn't understand it couldn't be Daddy Warbuck. Well, No,
I couldn't because I was only in fifth grade. And
and you know, they got an adult to dude, Mrs Hannigan. Again,
couldn't do that because I was a kid. So I
went and they turned me down right away. I was

(03:13):
so piste off. Didn't understand why until I saw the
play the Hard Knock Life character. But you know, nowadays
they would probably make it an integrated orphanage. Yeah you think, yeah,
you could have been you could have been gender fluid?
Often could? I mean? Back then? No reboot? Anyway back
to the King and I and I think again it

(03:34):
covered I think we covered on an episode thirty of
the Brooklyn Boys podcast. But here's the thing. There's two
ways to remember if it's I or me. If it's
before the action, it's I, and if it's after the action,
it's usually ME. And the easiest way to remember which
one it is is if you take out the other name,
does it still makes sense? So you wouldn't say here's
a picture of I. You would say here's a picture
of Charlie Pooth and me, because you could say here's
a picture of me. I think the picture of is

(03:58):
the subject matter. And then then animes came, haf got it?
If you had said Charlie Pooth and I took a picture,
that'd be correct. You wouldn't say Charlie Pouth and ME
took a picture because you wouldn't say me, Okay, So
I think I got it. Now for Life by George
I think he's got it. He says that now and
you know what's going to happen. Yeah, he'll do it
again tomorrow. Rain and Spain stays on the plane. Let
me back all the way up to the beginning. This
is the extreme weather edition of the podcast. Where is it? Well? Yeah, well,

(04:22):
we all know how extreme weather. You know hates weather
like this. Oh, here comes Danielle. You're talking about the
freaking weather. I hate the freaking weather. But you know what,
not just snow, because people get extreme weather all over
the country and extreme weather in general. Because right now
people are listening to this in South Florida and they're like,
what the fund is this have to do with me?
So but extreme weather events, it doesn't just do that.

(04:45):
It makes everyone either go crazy or become experts in
the weather. Right now, there there's I would say, all
four of us in this room right how think they
know what is going to happen and how it's going
to happen and what time things will happen, even though
we have no idea. You know what? The problem with
the people in my life, most of the people who
work on this show, and my wife will throw her

(05:06):
in there, sho no no, you guys always underestimate the
weather report. I agree and never overestimateservative. But if they
say if they know, you're not, if they say, um uh,
sixty inches, you guys are probably like nothing, maybe two inches,
but by nobody ever say inches. Oh my god, I
bet it's gonna be a foot and a half. But
then on the other hand, on the other hand, Danielle

(05:29):
and Brodie are the far extreme where it's automatically the
worst of worst. But what you don't understand is we
drive the farthest out of any of you, and Greg
t and the Scotty, but he'll train it in. It's
hard for us to get in and we have also
you know, when you live close and you have kids,
but it's hard for us to get here, and we
have to leave our entire family behind. I understand that.

(05:50):
But you see now you're putting Now you're putting emotions
into the forecast. I'm just trying to call like it is.
I don't want to be an alarmist. No, that's the
thing I'm trying. I try and compy people down by
going a little bit under what we might be getting,
because because nine out of ten times it's always blow vai.
Hold ony, here's the thing you're talking about exaggeration. You

(06:16):
just exaggerated that stat. It is not nine out of
ten times. It's probably three out of ten times. Very good,
but it sticks with you. Oh yeah, he exaggerates like
a million times. How many times has it been where
the forecasters called for a ship ton of snow and
whatever and then we got I'll tell you why, why
that's a good thing. If they say there's gonna be

(06:38):
a foot and a half of snow and you over
prepare and it's only seven inches of snow. Well, but
if they tell you seven inches of snow and you
go on about your day and you don't stock off,
and you you'd go for a drive and it's a
foot and a half and you're left, you're gonna be
pisted to weather guy. So it's not about emotion. When
Daniel says about leaving your family home, I don't leave
in my family home. I can live without them for

(06:59):
a but now my my wife and kids have no
My wife and kids have to shovel the driveway right,
and then shovel the driveway again when the stupid plow
pushes everything to the right and buries my driveway again
when they plow right last. You can't live on a
call to sack. Everything's on the right, so believe me.
When I was looking to buy a house, I wanted
a house on the left. But you don't realize this

(07:22):
when you live on a dead end street with a
call to sack, every house is on the right, regardless
of which side of the street you live on. I
didn't realize that. So you call sack, called the sack sack.
Oh my god, it's the weather, so alright, that's why
I'm just trying to about the weather. So they first

(07:44):
to all ten to fourteen. Everyone's saying, now it's higher.
But guess what I just they just canceled my freaking
massage that I had booked for down after all, but
they's canceled it because no one's coming to work. Let's
go to go up the street on Canal Street. I'm
sure you could find something. You'll get a massage with
one s. But everything's were the only slubs here, by

(08:06):
the way, working in this building. People are leavings. The
morning shows are all staying over. I'm not couppy staying over.
Let me let me tell you something scary. I understand
your proximity to the city and how you're going to
uber it in. But if you for some reason can't
get in the morning, you're a dead man. Like you,

(08:29):
you're going to get your ass hand. But but I
I also believe in scary he's not going to as
he normally wakes up at you know whatever, a half hour,
he'll come into three am. I think he'll come in
earlier and and be there just in case. Why would
you do that to yourself? Why wouldn't you stay in
a hotel when, especially when you don't have a family
to go home, to stay in a hotel and sleep

(08:50):
in an empty apartment, empty existence. But again you're talking,
You're talking about him being no more than five five
miles from the radio state. Probably bills if it's really
bad out is a lot more, most of those through
a tunnel. I just I hope I'm wrong. I really
maybe I'm taking this too lightly. What if every uber
is taken in the morning, because everybody's taking an uber

(09:12):
and you can't get an uber or a lift or whatever,
I'm screwed. I'm just saying you're taking a risk, because
what are you gonna do? Called Elvis at six o'clock
and go, hey, I couldn't get in because I thought
it was gonna be a few inches off. So you know,
it's weird of the people that run my building. Uh,
they send out an email yesterday to the entire building.
This is make sure you have your emergency supplies. Make

(09:34):
sure you I mean this person is contributing to the
problem by adding want you to be prepared in case
there make sure if they don't, what if this elderly
people in your building that can't get out when it's
two inches of snow, there's full of there's a full
service supermarket at the base of my building. You don't
even have to go outside, And what if those employees

(09:55):
can't get to work. I'm just saying, I just think
every think out of proportion. What it was a forecaster
who told there was a meteorologist who told me that
a lot of other meteorologist people and forecaster people they
do this thing called wish casting. I said it on
the Big Show this morning. Wish Casting is when the

(10:17):
people that you know, the types to whether people that
roll up their sleeves and they get into the nitty
gritty and the tie is coming off and they really
they live for these events because it means ratings, ratings, ratings,
and they have hours of programming where people are gonna
watch the snow, but it's snow coverage on TV. What
purpose does that serve? Why can't you just be just

(10:37):
be normal about it? Why can't you be realistic not
be an alarmist? That's all I'm asking because a simple question.
Because on those sunny days where there's nothing going on,
they have this knowledge that you and I will never
have or understand that they can actually apply to it.
They can apply to the masses. I'm just not I'm
not a wish caster. I'm a forecast. You know what,
if you look at the meteorologist reports, the European model,

(11:00):
the American model, those are people all over the world,
the top scientists in the world that don't work on ratings,
who predicted this storm was gonna be huge. They don't
work on ratings. There's scientists. How does the farmers on
that work? How do they figure that out? They figured
it out. They still send out those books, the farmers books.
I mean, they know how much it's gonna rain. We

(11:22):
just got a text in Okay, fifteen minute morning show,
best or worst snow day memories go okay, Uh. When
I was a kid, Brooklyn had two and a half
feet of snow and we were able to jump off
the roofs of the bars. And then a week later
it's snowed another foot. There's almost three feet of snow
on the streets. Would that be the blizzard of three

(11:44):
Neither of those does. It doesn't matter what year it was. Anyway,
there was a bread truck that broke down in the
middle of the street and the slogan said don't leave
home without Leavies Leavis rye bread, and the guy left
the truck. I thought was ironic at the time that
he left the truck that said don't leave home without it, right,
and so uh, the neighborhood kids popped open the back

(12:05):
of the truck and we all took the bread out
of the truck because by the third day it was like,
let's take the bread. Then he was coming back for
the truck. Listen, someone through the bread at me. I
grabbed it. I didn't go on the truck. My point
is that's one of my favorite memories of the entire
city shutting down with multiple feet of snow and no
plows to plow it fet of snow. Danielle, what I

(12:26):
have to one is uh, staying home with the kids
and just having movies and making chocolate chip cookies and
playing board games growing up, growing up. That's when she
was eight. We had wait growing up. We I remember,
actually I can I say when I was in college,
we had a snow day that was we didn't know
what was happening, and it was hysterical because we woke

(12:48):
up and it was like, oh my gosh, there's all
the snow outside. Yeah, so Elvis shut down the show.
He decided we weren't coming in whatever. We went to
a diner that was open and they ran out of salad.
But for some reason, I always remember this as one
of the most fun days I've ever had on a
snow day because we were outside playing. We were throwing snowball,
and we were college students. But we had the best

(13:10):
time just getting around, even though we went to the
place and they ran out of salad and we were
upset because we all wanted salad. It's very strange, but
it's the stupid little tiny things. Speaking of speaking of salad,
Brody would like this. I was just reading an article
they say the best no, no, no, The best way
to eat a salad is without the leaves. And that's
not a salad. Everything else, but I thought you eat

(13:35):
they said the best way Tomatoes, cucumbers, they say, that's
the best way to eat a salad. My mine. I
do remember losing my because when I went to school
back around ninety we went to school. Then they would
cancel school once you got there or halfway through the
day they would call. So I remember getting home and

(13:55):
I lost my brown lunch bag in the snow with
my bologna sand one gin it and I because there
was almost two feet of snow. I did not find
that bologney sandwich for at least a month and a half.
And it was solid. It was it was it was
an ice. I don't know. It's a natural freeze. It's
nature's sezing. Bologney does not taste good Nature's freezer, that's right.

(14:18):
So if you lose power in your house during like
a storm, we put all one year, we put all
that stuff on the deck in the freezer bags like
a big carry bags and it stayed out there until
the squirrels ripped through it and ate everything. But a
couple of days it was a good idea. Mine wasn't
a snowstorm. It was actually Hurricane Gloria, which wasn't a
very severe hurricane. Yeah it was and and and the

(14:41):
memory was my friends and I all had off from
school and we were playing whiffleball. Let me tell you something,
I was never such a great picture, nasty, nasty curveball
playing wiffleball and hurt. And you're a lefty too, You're
one proud sports moment. Minute Morning Show
