got Brody. Hello, the other way around. Really, it really isn't.
I'm going around the room and Scary's first. Now, if
you want to be listed before Scary Brody, you gotta
sit right over here, over there, sit on my lap.
If you were reading Hebrew, i'd be right to left
and then but I'm not. And here's Danielle and we're
joined by my dog Max. Today there is he's so
(01:54):
excited his bark box came in today. The dogs really
know what's going on when they get a present. I've
always watched dogs unwrapped Christmas. P's a present. They just
know it smells like whatever. If it has food in it,
they smell. That's basically it, alright, there's no curiosity. Look
you're opening it up. Look he's unboxing the bark box. Oh,
look at this bark I'll look at it. He's so excited.
(02:15):
This is wheat free, corn free, soy free, grain free.
Look how excited he is. Well, what's left? Give him something? Sorry? Uh,
there's a lot of stuff in here that All that
stuff sounded good though, all right, So I mean, don't
you guys get these of the month club boxes bark
boxes one of my favorite. By the way, they're not
paying for this. No, I get my stitch Fix every month,
which is the clothing one. Oh my goodness, this is beef,
(02:37):
pork and chicken, bland soft and chewy, Bark of the
wild anyway, Yeah, okay, so I get my uh oh
the thing that has the moisturizer in it. Oh yeah,
but but first box first for men is great. What's
the one that we all get every month? Rob's Vice
(02:58):
Raw is rob Vi rob Ices. That's a good one.
That is a good one because they usually put booze.
Yeah yeah, that's I'm losing out on that because I
love it. We've gotten some months where it's fantastic, but
we've gotten three or four in a row that are
really good alcohol, like really nice bottles of you know,
but you know I don't really drink, so you can
share them as gifts. Well, I'm going to do that.
(03:18):
But we've got we got like Gin and Tonic last
month a really nice decanter, and this month was rum
and it looks really nice if you're a rum drinker
or Gin and Tonic, it looks really nice. So I'm
trying to barter with Greg t what for next month's
box without knowing what's coming next month. I'm training him
my Gin and Tonic for whatever is the next month's box? Really,
but what if it's like a new car? What's fuying
(03:39):
the curtain? So well, here's the thing, rob Vice is
it's it's supposed to be a luxury box. It's a
higher in box. So they're assuming all luxury higher in
people are a bunch of drawers. I know, because every
month it's alcohol. The last few in a row have
been alcohol. Yeah, I can't wait. I'm going to start
doing the fab Fit Fun Box and it's all just
stuff for exercising and keeping you healthier and really cool
stuff like that. I'll be drinking out of my Rob.
(04:03):
We're now joined by straight Nate high Street. Speaking of
rob vices, do you remember that one box we got
and it had the canvas and the paints, Oh, the
sex paints, sex paints. Nate's got the face on like
he did it. I'll show you what did you use
as your brush my body? Wait? Wait, hold on, hold on,
(04:24):
you're gonna show us pictures of I'm not naked in them?
That was That was before and that's the after. I
don't understand we roll around on canvas. Once you had
sex on that canvas we tried. I just see a
bunch of white spots. Yeah, it's scary. You can't look
at it. It looks it looks like someone did paint
(04:46):
its white and gold paint. Do you have that up
in your house? It's going up in that. It looks
like the frosting on a cinnamon roll. That was what
was into And I'll be honest, it wasn't that great
of an experience. Because they give you this canvas, you're
supposed to put paint on your bodies all around on it.
It wasn't that fun. But okay, you try. You would
you rather have a chewy treat from the bark box.
(05:09):
Is that like jerky? Is that human grade stuff? That's
what your paint look like? All right, anyway, go ahead,
you guys do a show. I'm I'm busy digging about
because you're gonna sit there these honey smacks. You know,
things are good at Elvis's house. When his dog gets
its own of the Month club, things are good. Things
are good. Things are good. Things are good. My dog
(05:30):
gets another the month club gets a tie every month. Hey,
I know this is a Thursday. We're doing this fifteen
minute morning show podcast. I gotta say this week has
been so so satisfying so far anyway, with the big
Jimmy fallon show yesterday, and I mean we just had
great guests all week long. Tuesday, of course, was nine eleven,
(05:51):
and you were asking yourself, well, how can Elvis be
so chipper about such a somber day. Well, I gotta
tell you, you know, when you do what we do
for a living, and you have to come in and
sort of reflect the feelings of what's going on in
our community and around the country. On nine eleven, you
know what, we walked out of here thinking, I think
we did as best as we could today considering what
today means and all the hurt and all the pain
(06:14):
that people are going through. In reflection, I was very
satisfied with our nine eleven show this year. I think
we all did a great job. I thought it was
one I think of the five years I've been here,
I think it's the probably the best Night eleven show.
And I think at some point in the future we
had that one caller who's classroom they weren't even alive
when nine eleven happened. As we get older, there's gonna
(06:37):
be so many more people that have no concept of
what happened that day. Well, you know, a lot of
radio stations do not observe a moment of silence at
am here in New York. There are some here that
don't do it, and we hear from people saying, I
can't believe their popular station across the street wasn't observing. Well,
you know what. My My thought is this, and we
always talked about this, right, Daniel, You just if you
(06:58):
want to observe, you do. If if you have a
different way of observing the day, and that's up to you.
I don't we shouldn't be judging someone because they're out
there living their life. Now, and some people need to
be alone and they need to deal with it that way,
and some people need to be around other people, and
some people some people can't even like they don't want
to do a normal thing, like I know, I will
not do a phone tap on nine eleven. I won't
do it. I don't want to. I just from social mediata.
(07:24):
I'm surprised. I don't know if it's a local or
national thing, because I think the further you get away
from New York, let's say, I think it's out of
the mind of a lot of people. And so I
watched every late night talk show that night and not
one host mentioned it, which I thought was I just
it was weird to me that they did, But to
the rest of the country, I don't have to thinking
about it. You can see, you can see why that
(07:45):
that's that's a prerogative. I won't tell you. Remember one year,
we did not we did a moment of silence in
New York only, but we did not do a moment
of silence on the network, which goes out across the country,
and we we got a lot of negative feedback from that.
They said, what are you doing? So the following year
we everyone back into it. You know. I have a
buddy of mine is in his early thirties and UM,
and he's single, and he says that he does not
(08:10):
date women who are who cannot remember nine eleven because like,
so there's like an age gap somewhere between six years
old and before. They don't have, um, real solid memories
of nine eleven. So therefore they don't share in his
sentiment or his um you know, because nine eleven is
(08:33):
is is a marker that's shaped a lot of people's lives.
So if you have a real, vivid memory of what
went on, then that speaks to who you are as
a person. For let's say, just for arguments sake, twenty
seven and older, where you are right, but if you're
like right now, if you're like three, you might not
have a prevalm memory. So he doesn't think that that
(08:53):
he has enough in common with someone that age. I
found that very interesting that to adder that, you know,
I got to say, you know, nine eleven, what happened
to us? Witnessing that it changed us in ways we
we cannot We cannot because when I was in California,
it was just a blurb. People mentioned it. Oh, it's
nine eleven, and then you moved on. But if you're
(09:16):
a part of New York, New York life, especially what
you guys were doing at the time, drastic difference Washington Washington. Yeah,
I was on the radio in Washington that day, and
and so like when there's montages of radio broadcasts, I'm
in on some of them as being in Washington. I
hear it, I get freaked out, like I would assume,
like Oklahoma City when they had the bombing there. I
(09:37):
think on on that day that the bombing happened, I
think they have It's a big day, absolutely, and it
should be. What an important day in the history of
Oklahoma City, very sad day. I will say this, Uh,
you were just talking brody about how you were not here.
You were actually with our friend Elliott at his show
in Washington, d C. On nine eleven. I sometimes feel,
(09:59):
I don't this may sound weird, but hear me up.
I sometimes feel you were disappointed that you could not
have been here when it happened. I agree. I mean,
no one wants to be near that sort of negativity.
But at the same time, YEA, So when we talk
about our old studios which used to face the skyline
of Manhattan, and I tell people about it, and I say,
you know, the morning shows saw it happen live. They
(10:19):
saw the second plane. Um. I have to then say yeah,
but I was in Washington, and so I feel like
as a New Yorker, I didn't come home till Friday,
the end of the week because I was working. I
used to work three weeks here in one week for
for our old co host like the Child of divorce Parents.
I would go visit him for a week and it
was weird as a New Yorker not being there. It's
like when you're your mom is sick and you're away
(10:41):
at college and you're not there. I had to this day.
It's not survivor's guilt. It's it's something like that where
you feel I wasn't here. I didn't share it with you,
with you guys, my family. I shared it with people
who are like, wow, it must really suck, what's going
on in New York And I wasn't here, and I
had It's not like no, it's it's a it's a memory.
And I I remember having a trepidation about getting on
(11:02):
a train to come home, and I remember coming home
on the amtrack and I used to always when you
get to like Central Jersey, you could see the towers,
you could and I felt like I was home. I
would because I wanted to come home every every time
I went to Washington and I and that first time
you didn't see the towers and you just sort of smoke.
That was when because he's sort on television. But when
I first saw the skyline on looking at the train window,
(11:23):
it hit me that I had I had not been
here for it, and I wasn't you know whatever you
guys shared that week. Yeah, I do feel a little.
My friend Karen says the same thing. She actually sends
me a text every year because she was on her
honeymoon in Hawaii when that happened, and of course they
canceled all the flights whatever, and she always says, all
I wanted to do was be home with my family.
And it's, like you said, not like the fear of
(11:43):
missing out. It's that she felt like she needed to
be home with the people going through this and helping
them through it and being there for each other, wishing
you could be there to contribute. And I don't want
the thing. I don't want to leave out. Washington was attacked.
I mean I was there the planet to Pentagon. Don't
want to forget that they also had you know, it
was all part of it. But this is your home.
(12:04):
Yeah that's right. And I'll tell you as the only
person not in one of those cities in this room
right now. It was a weird feeling because you're seeing
this and it was playing out on TV, and you
felt like you were watching a movie because you weren't
a part of seeing smoke or hearing sirens. You didn't
know if that was real. Like I was in such
(12:25):
a state of disbelief that's something like that could happen
here something, But being here, it didn't seem real. I
I can imagine watching the towers fall. That was that
was the most unreal thing I've ever seen. It was
not it as if it was not happening, because that's
something like that doesn't happen. We drove out of the
parking garage, which took us minutes extra to drive out
(12:47):
of the parking garage, and that's when the first tower
fell as I was getting out, and everyone got out
of their cars and turned around and it was like
no that, there's no way, and all usel was dust
and you couldn't. You just couldn't fathom that that could
possibly have just that. And I called. I talked to
somebody on the phone and I told him and they said,
(13:10):
there's no way. There's no way that the building fell.
No way, I'm I'm telling you right now. I just
watched it full and they were like, no way. But
even watching it, you don't believe it. And I watched
it in my rear view mirror, the second tower. It
fell in that little bitty square I watched. I watched
it fall. It was the strangest framing of that. Look
at this, you know. Okay, So you know nine eleven,
seventeen years ago, September Eleven's still affects us to the
(13:32):
point now where we're still talking it out because we
need to. And again I say, we still cannot fathom
how affected we are from what happened. Then. I just can't.
All right, So that was Tuesday. What happened Monday was here.
That was awesome too. But Max, Max Max Tuesday, Oh gosh,
(13:54):
when Max and the gaym ends of course saying that
was amazing. You know what, we look at what we
do for a living. If you wonder, like, oh God,
they might just have the funnest job. They get up
there and have fun in the play. It's true we do,
but there are a lot of serious things we do too,
and so this, this is the most bizarre career choice
we've made. What do you think? Am I am right now?
(14:17):
It's right? Am I right? Work with me. I was
laughing the other day. This has nothing to do with
what we're talking about. But my husband has been setting
his alarm earlier because he's listening to probably like that
Gary vander Chuck guy. He loves that guy. Whatever, And
he said, go ahead, and he said that, um, he
(14:38):
tells them something about getting up earlier and how you
can accomplish more and before the day really starts and
you turn your phone off. So he's been turning his
phone off and he's like, you should try this. I
turned him. I said, if I get up any earlier,
I'm getting up at one o'clock in the morning. Do
you really think I want to do that? He's like, oh,
so maybe it's not for you. Like, no, they say
the best. They say for a lot of people, the
(14:59):
best time to exercise is in the morning before you
go to work. I'm like, well, how do I look,
hell do I breakfast front cheek gets up and goes
to the gym. But let me tell you in the morning.
So I have a bedroom in my apartment. I have
in that bedroom, it's sort of the junk room. We
throw our crap in there. But you also have a
treadmill in there and and a bike. So I decided
(15:20):
one morning at four to go in there and run
on the treadmill for thirty minutes. Well and as a
running five minutes in I here, but it's the doorman
calling my my my apartment. I'm like four oh five am. Yes,
the people downstairs want to know what's going on up there,
because obviously you know the floors. I'm running above their
(15:43):
baby's crib, and I woke up their baby. So I
gave up working out. It's not out of laziness, it's
at a consideration. Want to let the baby sleep. When
the babies in high school, I'll start running again. God,
look at that. A fifteen minute morning show podcast went by.
We talked about a lot of interesting things. Again, this
(16:04):
is what we do for a living. I guess our
day is done except for straight eight. He used to say,
here until five pm. The fifteen minute morning show,

of nine eleven. So therefore they don't share in his
sentiment or his um you know, because nine eleven is
(08:33):
is is a marker that's shaped a lot of people's lives.
So if you have a real, vivid memory of what
went on, then that speaks to who you are as
a person. For let's say, just for arguments sake, twenty
seven and older, where you are right, but if you're
like right now, if you're like three, you might not
have a prevalm memory. So he doesn't think that that
(08:53):
he has enough in common with someone that age. I
found that very interesting that to adder that, you know,
I got to say, you know, nine eleven, what happened
to us? Witnessing that it changed us in ways we
we cannot We cannot because when I was in California,
it was just a blurb. People mentioned it. Oh, it's
nine eleven, and then you moved on. But if you're
(09:16):
a part of New York, New York life, especially what
you guys were doing at the time, drastic difference Washington Washington. Yeah,
I was on the radio in Washington that day, and
and so like when there's montages of radio broadcasts, I'm
in on some of them as being in Washington. I
hear it, I get freaked out, like I would assume,
like Oklahoma City when they had the bombing there. I
(09:37):
think on on that day that the bombing happened, I
think they have It's a big day, absolutely, and it
should be. What an important day in the history of
Oklahoma City, very sad day. I will say this, Uh,
you were just talking brody about how you were not here.
You were actually with our friend Elliott at his show
in Washington, d C. On nine eleven. I sometimes feel,
(09:59):
I don't this may sound weird, but hear me up.
I sometimes feel you were disappointed that you could not
have been here when it happened. I agree. I mean,
no one wants to be near that sort of negativity.
But at the same time, YEA, So when we talk
about our old studios which used to face the skyline
of Manhattan, and I tell people about it, and I say,
you know, the morning shows saw it happen live. They
(10:19):
saw the second plane. Um. I have to then say yeah,
but I was in Washington, and so I feel like
as a New Yorker, I didn't come home till Friday,
the end of the week because I was working. I
used to work three weeks here in one week for
for our old co host like the Child of divorce Parents.
I would go visit him for a week and it
was weird as a New Yorker not being there. It's
like when you're your mom is sick and you're away
(10:41):
at college and you're not there. I had to this day.
It's not survivor's guilt. It's it's something like that where
you feel I wasn't here. I didn't share it with you,
with you guys, my family. I shared it with people
who are like, wow, it must really suck, what's going
on in New York And I wasn't here, and I
had It's not like no, it's it's a it's a memory.
And I I remember having a trepidation about getting on
(11:02):
a train to come home, and I remember coming home
on the amtrack and I used to always when you
get to like Central Jersey, you could see the towers,
you could and I felt like I was home. I
would because I wanted to come home every every time
I went to Washington and I and that first time
you didn't see the towers and you just sort of smoke.
That was when because he's sort on television. But when
I first saw the skyline on looking at the train window,
(11:23):
it hit me that I had I had not been
here for it, and I wasn't you know whatever you
guys shared that week. Yeah, I do feel a little.
My friend Karen says the same thing. She actually sends
me a text every year because she was on her
honeymoon in Hawaii when that happened, and of course they
canceled all the flights whatever, and she always says, all
I wanted to do was be home with my family.
And it's, like you said, not like the fear of
(11:43):
missing out. It's that she felt like she needed to
be home with the people going through this and helping
them through it and being there for each other, wishing
you could be there to contribute. And I don't want
the thing. I don't want to leave out. Washington was attacked.
I mean I was there the planet to Pentagon. Don't
want to forget that they also had you know, it
was all part of it. But this is your home.
(12:04):
Yeah that's right. And I'll tell you as the only
person not in one of those cities in this room
right now. It was a weird feeling because you're seeing
this and it was playing out on TV, and you
felt like you were watching a movie because you weren't
a part of seeing smoke or hearing sirens. You didn't
know if that was real. Like I was in such
(12:25):
a state of disbelief that's something like that could happen
here something, But being here, it didn't seem real. I
I can imagine watching the towers fall. That was that
was the most unreal thing I've ever seen. It was
not it as if it was not happening, because that's
something like that doesn't happen. We drove out of the
parking garage, which took us minutes extra to drive out
(12:47):
of the parking garage, and that's when the first tower
fell as I was getting out, and everyone got out
of their cars and turned around and it was like
no that, there's no way, and all usel was dust
and you couldn't. You just couldn't fathom that that could
possibly have just that. And I called. I talked to
somebody on the phone and I told him and they said,
(13:10):
there's no way. There's no way that the building fell.
No way, I'm I'm telling you right now. I just
watched it full and they were like, no way. But
even watching it, you don't believe it. And I watched
it in my rear view mirror, the second tower. It
fell in that little bitty square I watched. I watched
it fall. It was the strangest framing of that. Look
at this, you know. Okay, So you know nine eleven,
seventeen years ago, September Eleven's still affects us to the
(13:32):
point now where we're still talking it out because we
need to. And again I say, we still cannot fathom
how affected we are from what happened. Then. I just can't.
All right, So that was Tuesday. What happened Monday was here.
That was awesome too. But Max, Max Max Tuesday, Oh gosh,
(13:54):
when Max and the gaym ends of course saying that
was amazing. You know what, we look at what we
do for a living. If you wonder, like, oh God,
they might just have the funnest job. They get up
there and have fun in the play. It's true we do,
but there are a lot of serious things we do too,
and so this, this is the most bizarre career choice
we've made. What do you think? Am I am right now?
(14:17):
It's right? Am I right? Work with me. I was
laughing the other day. This has nothing to do with
what we're talking about. But my husband has been setting
his alarm earlier because he's listening to probably like that
Gary vander Chuck guy. He loves that guy. Whatever, And
he said, go ahead, and he said that, um, he
(14:38):
tells them something about getting up earlier and how you
can accomplish more and before the day really starts and
you turn your phone off. So he's been turning his
phone off and he's like, you should try this. I
turned him. I said, if I get up any earlier,
I'm getting up at one o'clock in the morning. Do
you really think I want to do that? He's like, oh,
so maybe it's not for you. Like, no, they say
the best. They say for a lot of people, the
(14:59):
best time to exercise is in the morning before you
go to work. I'm like, well, how do I look,
hell do I breakfast front cheek gets up and goes
to the gym. But let me tell you in the morning.
So I have a bedroom in my apartment. I have
in that bedroom, it's sort of the junk room. We
throw our crap in there. But you also have a
treadmill in there and and a bike. So I decided
(15:20):
one morning at four to go in there and run
on the treadmill for thirty minutes. Well and as a
running five minutes in I here, but it's the doorman
calling my my my apartment. I'm like four oh five am. Yes,
the people downstairs want to know what's going on up there,
because obviously you know the floors. I'm running above their
(15:43):
baby's crib, and I woke up their baby. So I
gave up working out. It's not out of laziness, it's
at a consideration. Want to let the baby sleep. When
the babies in high school, I'll start running again. God,
look at that. A fifteen minute morning show podcast went by.
We talked about a lot of interesting things. Again, this
(16:04):
is what we do for a living. I guess our
day is done except for straight eight. He used to say,
here until five pm. The fifteen minute morning show,
