Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's nothing better than going to bed and your sheets
are your favorite part. A lot of people crawled into
bed and they love that mattress me. I love the
sheets I ordered from brooklyn and dot com, the winner
of best in online betting category on Good Housekeeping, and
these sheets are better than the ones I've had in
expensive hotels. Look, you can go out and buy sheets
for your bed that our top quality, but you're gonna
(00:22):
pay hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars. My friends
Vicky and Rich started this company called brook Lynon. You
can find them at brook Lennon dot com. Their mission
was to bring five star hotel quality sheets to all
of US luxury sheets without paying luxury market prices. Their
small business approach makes it where they cut out the
middleman and we get the great sheets and we don't
(00:43):
have to spend our last penny doing so, different colors
and materials to choose from way till you sleep on them.

code fifteen. What would you talk about on your on
your podcast? Firm Elvis Presents fifteen show. Right, we've got
(01:27):
fifteen minutes to make a difference. Let's get going. Hi Danielle, Hey,
I love you. I love you too, all right. Other
than that, you guys have a nice day. You cannot leave, Yeah,
you can. There's other people here love Danielle, but the
rest of us, Hi, Brody didn't see back there? Garrett, Hi, Garrett,
(01:49):
I'm right in the middle. There's Nate n the Hey there,
and then the best for last, Gregg Tea. Alright. You
know Greg t is still a little cocky from his
uh successful topic train on our show. That was the
best one you've ever done. I was gonna says it's
the best one in a long time. It was the
best one a long time. Enough. Yes, well, he really
(02:09):
didn't have anything to do with it, though. If you
think about it, he typed it off, he typed it up.
He probably got most of the topics from other people.
And then your Ritza gets the good calls, and then
Nate will take the text that call in, and then
he'll text in and then he will call them to
be on the show. So really T doesn't do much.
But if you think about it, Elvis does all the work.
Elvis comes up with a topic, splits it out, and
(02:30):
we all do what we've been to be fair, to
be fair, Greg T puts as much into his topic
train as I put into the show. I don't do anything.
So I'm thinking of a new jingle. Greg T typed
this up. Let's call in great type this stuff, and
even then he didn't spell it right. Well, there's the
(02:50):
rich ones. Did you actually come up with? Okay, here's
what I'll do. The old school rocket roller one was mine,
that was mine, and then I forget the other one
with his mine. But here's the thing is I'll look
at Okay, it doesn't need to be a thing. We
we know you. You do as little work as possible.
Oh my god, where am I? But wait? And other
people do most of the heavy lifting. What I'm saying
(03:11):
is I can relate because I'm the same way. I
don't do anything around here. My phone never rings, there's
never anyone asking for anything because people know not to
contact me to get me to do anything. Right straight now, anybody,
I just want to say what I've realized straight Nate
does all the hard work and heavy lifting. What I've
realized is that this show, he's got so much talent
(03:34):
on it, and each individual has their own talent that
can help you out at any given moment. So I
know who to go to when I actually need something done.
When it comes to Top of Train, I love Brodie's ideas.
Brodie's got weird ideas, like you know, you ever seen
a zombie walks through your backyard with with a machine gun? Boom? Great,
top of the Top of Train. No, actually that's not
(03:56):
a good topic. You know, we get the point, like
Josh is very creative. Josh gave me Stuck in your Body.
That was Josh's. The other ones were all mine. By
the way, if someone's listening to this podcast and they
didn't hear the topic train, they don't know what the
hell you're talking about. What the hell you're talking about?
All right, Well, let's move on UH. We interviewed Nick
Cannon today, and I gotta tell you an interesting backstory.
(04:18):
So he and his his guys walk in. They're supposed
to be slated for seven forty am, right, So Nate
walks in, going uh. They have a seven fifty plane
close close. It was a nine fifteen flight out of Newark,
which is it can be a twenty minute or a
one hour twenty minute drive from where we are in
(04:38):
downtown Manhattan, which one I told you that You asked
me when do they need to leave? And you looked
at the watch and said, um, I think he needs
to leave right now, right now. And we still had
to do the phone tap. We had to do a
local break for New York. We had a lot of
stuff to do, and so he wouldn't be on the
air with us until eight o'clock and he has to
be there by eight fifteen for nine flight, and it
(04:59):
would it wouldn't work out. The numbers didn't work. So
I said, well, what are we gonna do? I mean,
should we just go tell him to come back next time?
Because I don't want to be rude because he's Nick
Cannon's a great A great interview, is a great guy. Yeah,
so we figured it out. We figured it out. No,
we put him on in a local break and then
we still had enough time in the network break that
everybody heard that it was worth his one. Do we
(05:21):
know if he made the plane? That's my question, made
the plane? I'm going to ask it. But most celebrities
like Nick Cannon have the special door at the airport.
They go through. They don't have to wait at T
s A like most of us do. Well, they have
they have their own private T s A. Yeah, they
go to the secret door and they have they have
one agent who's dedicated to that door, and they take
care of the people who come through. That's what he
(05:42):
said on our show. I'll tell that my agent when
I get to the door. Yeah, the combo. Yeah, yeah,
they have people ready for him. What I did not
know this? How do you get that so quick? Little status?
But now we think about it. I don't think I've
ever really seen an actual celebrity standing on the check
(06:02):
in line at all. Right, you've seen him on your flight,
I've seen him on How do they get on the flight.
They go through the secret door, the Nick Cannon door.
Remember one time we were flying we all sat down
in our United flight to Houston and then boom, these
two people come in and sit down to the front seat.
Then they closed the door and believe who was it?
Beyonce in her security guard. Yes, she's not going through
(06:23):
the normal line. That's yeah, well that's back when she
flew commercial. I don't think she doesn't anymore. But but no,
they have their secret door. There were so amazing that,
so many amazing things in the world. How does celebrities
get on airplanes seeing them? You know, I mean, how
did you think they got on airplanes? Well, I don't know.
That's good. You never really think. They just kind of appear,
you know, I don't know, like how does it cut
(06:44):
on your finger? Get? You know, how does it heal?
I don't know. Okay, now I'm not going on I'm
not going not going down this road. Scary. Can we
talk to Scary about how great he looked on the
MTV the MTV Video Music Award like carpet at Radio
City last night. Thank you so much. You looked awesome.
Did you have a good time because it looked like that.
That was a hard job. It was hard because we
(07:06):
were at the end of the carpet and what. They
separate the carpet into segments. It's not one continuous red
carpet as you would imagine where celebrities are all going
to rush past you. There are these little fallout shelters
where the the celebrities can do where all the camera
crews are all lined up. It's t V t V,
t V TV, and then there's a break where if
(07:28):
a said celeb wants to do all the major TV
outlets right after the last one, they can dip out
to the side and they go behind the carpet and
they don't have to walk it. So there's a picture
like a pool table with several pockets. You could go
to the side pocket and not have to go to
the and not have to go to scary. That's a
lot of them did not. Well, you opted out. You
(07:49):
never ever ever want to be at the end of
the red carpet. If you get to a red carpet
event and you know you're that last thing, you know
you're getting shifted because yes, because that's exactly what you say.
It's they take because everybody takes so much time talking
to these people that by the time they get to you,
they're running late. They have to get in their seed.
(08:11):
They're getting, you know whatever, so they have to Sorry, kids,
the key is to be first positions as soon as
they get out of their car, positions, as soon as
they get out of their car, their stuv. You want
them to walk directly to you first, and then you don't.
You don't care where they how The good news was,
we did get the space right next to the MTV
(08:32):
v N A pre show stage where Vinny and DJ
Paul D from Jersey Shore we're hosting. So I did
get some celebs that were rushing to that stage, but
they weren't stopping from Ken John from the Chinese Crazy
and did you shove your now? I used to go
(08:55):
and I barget on other people's interviews. If I knew
I wasn't getting the exclusive, my microphone was going to
get somebody else is exclusive, So I shoved the microphone
in there. That's scary. Just tried so hard not only
to remember the name of the movie, but remember not
to say something offensive crazy Chinese, It was crazy Rich Asians.
(09:16):
But I will say, you know, it was great and
I got a great interview with Madison Beer. I got
a which hasn't been posted yet, and a couple of others,
and you know Sabrina Carpenter always, so she came to me.
I didn't have to look for her, so that was nice.
It was just it was wonderful. The whole the whole
atmosphere is it can be crazy and chaotic, but it
(09:36):
is what you make of it. And we had a
fun time. Why did you talk to the backdoor teen
mom about her daughter growing up? And of course you
did her teen teen mom, fare fare Abraham. Yeah, she's
she's doing a lot of wonderful things. I interviewed her too.
With all the interviews Instagram, nothing's been posted, but it's
all somewhere. We have the footage on someone's camera. A
(09:58):
lot of people would love to the experience of on
a red carpet. It's something you should do at least once,
and that's all you need. Red carpet is like backstage.
Those are places you just don't want to be. There's
nothing good about backstage. There's nothing good about red carpet.
But it's just mayhem, people pushing you out of the way.
And was very nice to us. See but see go
to a garret. Yes, who actually had tenth row for
(10:19):
the MTV Video Music he warns, you had great seats.
It's it's it's exactly what you just said, Elvis. Like
sitting at the show. They go to commercial, everybody's not
up hanging out. Everybody either runs to the bathroom, gets
free drinks and they come back, or they just vanished
backstage for like twenty minutes at a time, and then
people get filled into their seats like some random strangers
(10:40):
from the streets. So it's not like that party atmosphere
where it's like nothing but seleds and you're bumping into people.
It was interesting to see how all the stuff the
musicians were sitting sitting in that ring by the stage.
Then about five to ten rows back from the stage
was the Jersey shorecast, and then ten rows behind them
was the cast of the Hills, because they just announced
(11:01):
the Hills are bad, so you were ahead of the Hill.
I was ahead of the Hills, by the way, looking
at Spencer Pratt and Heidi Uh, by the way, I
know I'm a better parent than them. How do you
know that they have a one year old son that
they kept up until until midnight? Pretty much you have
a one year wait brought her son to the Video
Music Award. Yes, because they're desperate for attention. Those two
(11:24):
watching watching. Honestly, I I know, and I think most
of everyone in here, even Scary, could be a better
parent than than those two that drop. He dropped, Jada,
he didn't, he didn't drop. It was weird watching a
music award show and Taylor Swift wasn't in the front row.
(11:46):
She is in town though, so she's in time. It
didn't go. You know what I noticed too, When you're
there and you're sitting there, you notice that they move
people up, Like if j Low's coming up next, her
whole family is going to move to the front to
watch her. Even at the I Heart Radio Musical War,
It's like when Camilla Kabao was about to get on stage,
they moved Camilla into a position so that she's ready
to go. Since the light scot which makes total thing.
(12:07):
You gotta keep in mind, first and foremost, it's a
TV show. It's all for the camera, so you know
there are performances going on that you don't really see
that well when you're there because the cameras have doing
them backstage and this and that, and they don't care.
They just want people to clap, They want people in
the adage to clap that's all they want. You scary
that it before that they were filming it for TV,
(12:28):
which they were because there was more people actually watching
it on TV than there were in radio seating music
thousand times. Tis hence why they would just film it
for TV as opposed to you know, when they put
the camera on the celebs and the and the celebs
will clap like they're really enjoying what's on stage. Last night, especially,
I noticed when artists were like in the back of
the shot and didn't think they're on camera. They didn't
(12:49):
give a crap what was going on. Nicki Minaje when
other people on stage and she didn't love She had
to look on her face like I don't know, need
this crap. But as soon as the camera was like
honors like yeah, yeah, Sean Mendez, when camera's not like
whatver the you like, what do you do for the
camera versus off the camera? Let's ask straight. No. I've
(13:10):
been to so many TV tapings when I was in
Los Angeles. He go to we go to idol or whatever,
and it's so disappointing sometimes when they have a lot
of pre records. So I remember going to this Idol
show one time, and I'm like, oh my god, Neil
Diamond's gonna be here. It's gonna be cool. So I
get there and it's Ryan on stage and it's this
huge presence, and you know, all of a sudden, he's
(13:30):
like blah blah blah blah and Neil Diamond and then
everything goes black and people start applauding, and then where's
Neil Diamond And then he just comes on the screen.
They had recorded it that afternoon. I'm like, okay, it's
for the TV, for the TV, and then like fifteen
minutes like like oh, the best performance from last night,
and then they played it from the night before. So
(13:51):
you showed up and said in an audience just to
watch videos. It's just the most disappointed thing. It's the
same as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day, that's right. A lot
of that is pre recording. A lot of those performances
are done right on the street in front of Macy's
Harold Square, and they record those, some of them like
months ahead of time, with with a crowd dressed in
(14:12):
winter coaches outside went on the record that and because
they do it for teving. One of those was last
night Nicki Minaj was all of a sudden downtown from
a secret location which has turned out to be the
Oculus Downtown Manhattan, And uh that was had to have
been taped on a different day because she was backstage
(14:33):
different way. I thought it was last night. Do you
think they rushed her out of the VIM. Yeah, she
goes had to get there, and I go, probably helicopter.
I really thought that's not how it happened. But it's
it's a package they produced her. But they didn't have
a helicopter flying in the air with the word queen
written on it, you know, her album and everything. So
(14:55):
I thought like she was in there flying to the
thing okay where you know had a helicopter at Radio
City Music Call. But that's what I was thinking. Maybe
on the roof you weren't thinking they let a parachute
on her and they shut her down. There's a roof
to Radio City Fitness. There's a roof weight Do you
greg it was prerecording when you thought was a fallout
(15:16):
boy you thought was performing or someone down the block.
You I can hear you and they're like, yeah, we
pre recorded that, like months of thought. They were like
a block from my apartment. I'm like, oh my god,
to hear you guys. I sent a text to it.
He's like, we recorded that I think three years ago.
I know, but these are the magic tricks of TV.
But all love to do it when people are available,
because sometimes the artists have other things to do and
(15:39):
they're not available in the date of that show, and
so they do things ahead of time thinking of the
magic of TV. Not only they fake the performances, they
faked the crowds. I was in a taping of a
show called That Metal Show where they have uh and anyway,
they made the audience pre record. They got everybody laugh
great now laugh like you just heard something that surprised you.
You realized it, then laughed and we had like do
like fifteen reactions that they then put in to the
(16:00):
show as if it was live. I know. But at
the end result, I mean, there is an art to
putting these things together making it look like a real deal. Right.
This podcast anyway, great job in the vm A is
Scaryford to meet. This podcast The Fifteen Minute Morning Show

v N A pre show stage where Vinny and DJ
Paul D from Jersey Shore we're hosting. So I did
get some celebs that were rushing to that stage, but
they weren't stopping from Ken John from the Chinese Crazy
and did you shove your now? I used to go
(08:55):
and I barget on other people's interviews. If I knew
I wasn't getting the exclusive, my microphone was going to
get somebody else is exclusive, So I shoved the microphone
in there. That's scary. Just tried so hard not only
to remember the name of the movie, but remember not
to say something offensive crazy Chinese, It was crazy Rich Asians.
(09:16):
But I will say, you know, it was great and
I got a great interview with Madison Beer. I got
a which hasn't been posted yet, and a couple of others,
and you know Sabrina Carpenter always, so she came to me.
I didn't have to look for her, so that was nice.
It was just it was wonderful. The whole the whole
atmosphere is it can be crazy and chaotic, but it
(09:36):
is what you make of it. And we had a
fun time. Why did you talk to the backdoor teen
mom about her daughter growing up? And of course you
did her teen teen mom, fare fare Abraham. Yeah, she's
she's doing a lot of wonderful things. I interviewed her too.
With all the interviews Instagram, nothing's been posted, but it's
all somewhere. We have the footage on someone's camera. A
(09:58):
lot of people would love to the experience of on
a red carpet. It's something you should do at least once,
and that's all you need. Red carpet is like backstage.
Those are places you just don't want to be. There's
nothing good about backstage. There's nothing good about red carpet.
But it's just mayhem, people pushing you out of the way.
And was very nice to us. See but see go
to a garret. Yes, who actually had tenth row for
(10:19):
the MTV Video Music he warns, you had great seats.
It's it's it's exactly what you just said, Elvis. Like
sitting at the show. They go to commercial, everybody's not
up hanging out. Everybody either runs to the bathroom, gets
free drinks and they come back, or they just vanished
backstage for like twenty minutes at a time, and then
people get filled into their seats like some random strangers
(10:40):
from the streets. So it's not like that party atmosphere
where it's like nothing but seleds and you're bumping into people.
It was interesting to see how all the stuff the
musicians were sitting sitting in that ring by the stage.
Then about five to ten rows back from the stage
was the Jersey shorecast, and then ten rows behind them
was the cast of the Hills, because they just announced
(11:01):
the Hills are bad, so you were ahead of the Hill.
I was ahead of the Hills, by the way, looking
at Spencer Pratt and Heidi Uh, by the way, I
know I'm a better parent than them. How do you
know that they have a one year old son that
they kept up until until midnight? Pretty much you have
a one year wait brought her son to the Video
Music Award. Yes, because they're desperate for attention. Those two
(11:24):
watching watching. Honestly, I I know, and I think most
of everyone in here, even Scary, could be a better
parent than than those two that drop. He dropped, Jada,
he didn't, he didn't drop. It was weird watching a
music award show and Taylor Swift wasn't in the front row.
(11:46):
She is in town though, so she's in time. It
didn't go. You know what I noticed too, When you're
there and you're sitting there, you notice that they move
people up, Like if j Low's coming up next, her
whole family is going to move to the front to
watch her. Even at the I Heart Radio Musical War,
It's like when Camilla Kabao was about to get on stage,
they moved Camilla into a position so that she's ready
to go. Since the light scot which makes total thing.
(12:07):
You gotta keep in mind, first and foremost, it's a
TV show. It's all for the camera, so you know
there are performances going on that you don't really see
that well when you're there because the cameras have doing
them backstage and this and that, and they don't care.
They just want people to clap, They want people in
the adage to clap that's all they want. You scary
that it before that they were filming it for TV,
(12:28):
which they were because there was more people actually watching
it on TV than there were in radio seating music
thousand times. Tis hence why they would just film it
for TV as opposed to you know, when they put
the camera on the celebs and the and the celebs
will clap like they're really enjoying what's on stage. Last night, especially,
I noticed when artists were like in the back of
the shot and didn't think they're on camera. They didn't
(12:49):
give a crap what was going on. Nicki Minaje when
other people on stage and she didn't love She had
to look on her face like I don't know, need
this crap. But as soon as the camera was like
honors like yeah, yeah, Sean Mendez, when camera's not like
whatver the you like, what do you do for the
camera versus off the camera? Let's ask straight. No. I've
(13:10):
been to so many TV tapings when I was in
Los Angeles. He go to we go to idol or whatever,
and it's so disappointing sometimes when they have a lot
of pre records. So I remember going to this Idol
show one time, and I'm like, oh my god, Neil
Diamond's gonna be here. It's gonna be cool. So I
get there and it's Ryan on stage and it's this
huge presence, and you know, all of a sudden, he's
(13:30):
like blah blah blah blah and Neil Diamond and then
everything goes black and people start applauding, and then where's
Neil Diamond And then he just comes on the screen.
They had recorded it that afternoon. I'm like, okay, it's
for the TV, for the TV, and then like fifteen
minutes like like oh, the best performance from last night,
and then they played it from the night before. So
(13:51):
you showed up and said in an audience just to
watch videos. It's just the most disappointed thing. It's the
same as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day, that's right. A lot
of that is pre recording. A lot of those performances
are done right on the street in front of Macy's
Harold Square, and they record those, some of them like
months ahead of time, with with a crowd dressed in
(14:12):
winter coaches outside went on the record that and because
they do it for teving. One of those was last
night Nicki Minaj was all of a sudden downtown from
a secret location which has turned out to be the
Oculus Downtown Manhattan, And uh that was had to have
been taped on a different day because she was backstage
(14:33):
different way. I thought it was last night. Do you
think they rushed her out of the VIM. Yeah, she
goes had to get there, and I go, probably helicopter.
I really thought that's not how it happened. But it's
it's a package they produced her. But they didn't have
a helicopter flying in the air with the word queen
written on it, you know, her album and everything. So
(14:55):
I thought like she was in there flying to the
thing okay where you know had a helicopter at Radio
City Music Call. But that's what I was thinking. Maybe
on the roof you weren't thinking they let a parachute
on her and they shut her down. There's a roof
to Radio City Fitness. There's a roof weight Do you
greg it was prerecording when you thought was a fallout
(15:16):
boy you thought was performing or someone down the block.
You I can hear you and they're like, yeah, we
pre recorded that, like months of thought. They were like
a block from my apartment. I'm like, oh my god,
to hear you guys. I sent a text to it.
He's like, we recorded that I think three years ago.
I know, but these are the magic tricks of TV.
But all love to do it when people are available,
because sometimes the artists have other things to do and
(15:39):
they're not available in the date of that show, and
so they do things ahead of time thinking of the
magic of TV. Not only they fake the performances, they
faked the crowds. I was in a taping of a
show called That Metal Show where they have uh and anyway,
they made the audience pre record. They got everybody laugh
great now laugh like you just heard something that surprised you.
You realized it, then laughed and we had like do
like fifteen reactions that they then put in to the
(16:00):
show as if it was live. I know. But at
the end result, I mean, there is an art to
putting these things together making it look like a real deal. Right.
This podcast anyway, great job in the vm A is
