Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
firms show, We're Back. You got what you wanted? All
you tweeters, Instagrammers sliding into my d m s. It's
(00:24):
so funny when we go on vacation, everybody gets piste off. Yeah,
I really do. He takes serious offense to it, like,
so I got it. A couple of tweets that said,
oh my god, it's like you've been on vacation for
two years. Like not on this side of the fence.
It doesn't seem like two weeks. I don't get it.
I mean, there's so many occupations where yeah, you know,
(00:44):
somebody takes a day off from I don't know, the
Tonight Show or whatever the hell, right, I guess you
noticed it, but you're like, oh, you know what, guy
deserves a vacation. TV shows that's a perfect twenty two weeks.
They do twenty episodes, right, thirty episode thirty weeks are
on vacation. The guys on Saturday Night Live. They work
like twenty three weeks a year. By the way, if
(01:05):
they want to hire me, that's fine. But but nobody says,
oh no, they don't work. People do movies. They work
for like three months. They don't work us any year.
Does Pete Davidson get crap for not working half of
the year? He got a Mariana Grande. He's doing something right.
But it's like Jimmy Kimmel, does Jimmy fallon? Do they
getteth Meers takes off two weeks. I tried to explain
to people, people like, why did you take off? Whatever?
We take off when our audience isn't in their normal routine.
(01:29):
So in the summer, people aren't going to school, they're
going on vacation, they're sleeping late. That's that's when there's
no ratings to worry about. That of the entire summer,
these two weeks are the ones where there's the most
you know, going on with people schedules where you know
they're on vacation. So fourth of July that's when everyone's
(01:49):
in disarray. That's when we want to take our vacation.
What's wrong with that? I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
credit this person. He's a regular listener, regular tweeter, but
I don't want to give him credit for this tweet.
He wrote, I need to get a job with you
guys know, I need to get a job where you
get more vacation than work. That's not true. That's not true.
We work forty seven out of fifty two weeks a year. Yeah, no,
(02:15):
it doesn't. The point is. The point is the fact
that the fact that, yes, the fact that they're mad
is a good thing. It means they care. We appreciate that.
But you also think their jobs don't allow them to
be as off as much as we have that opportunity.
You know, you know, so some people have two weeks
off their entire year. Oh I listen. I worked most
(02:37):
of my life understore radio. I had one or two
weeks off and it's not enough, but that you cut.
But I gotta be honest with you the hours that
we work, and people are you're gonna work four hours.
We we get here between five and early, spend in
you know, East Coast between five and six five thirty,
and then we work all afternoon. I'm up till last night.
(02:58):
I was up to one in the morning writing stuff
for the show. We work a lot of hours. And
it's not physical labor. We're not you know, we've all
done physical labor. This is easier, but it's mentally and
physically exhaust We were on vacation five or six days
before I was able to relax. I was still doing
conference calls, still tying up loose ends with interns, and
(03:21):
I just and you sleep pattern is completely screwed up.
I was still getting up at five and the four
thirty in the morning on vacation, even though the law
wasn't going off like I'm gonna work. So we're happy
to be back. We're happy. You're happy that we're back.
But don't be mad at us. It don't be mad.
You can't be mad at somebody's work schedule. For instance,
when I was working as an e MT, you did
(03:42):
three twelve hours shifts in a row, you know, So
it's basically I mean it almost works out to forty
hours at the end of kind of things. So and
then you'd have four days off. People like, well, you
have four days off. I'm like, no, that's a long
three days that you work up until that point. Right.
For a couple of my friends who were cops, they
do three day tours and that's it, and then they're
(04:03):
off for four days. But there are a lot of
jobs you're like the seven on three off or seven
on four off. You get a couple of days off
in a row. But airline airline personnel do that. Yeah, yeah,
because you're flying around, you can't just take a day
off in the middle. Do they get crap? Oh, you
get a four day weekend, Mary, I haven't seen it away.
Excuse me, I'd be complimenting you for having a well
wrested pilot. Okay, seriously, yes, take all the time you
(04:26):
want before you fly my plane. Why God, have you
guys ever looked into what air traffic controllers get? Their
schedule is awesome? I mean, granted, it's like a high
stress job. You response over getting people from A to
B and make it your planes don't crash. But I
guess they work like two hours. They have like a
four hour break, they can take naps, and they work
for like another two hours the paraphrasing. And you only
(04:48):
when you say that, I don't think so exactly those
two hours you you'll probably lose weight more so on
that than Dr Fotla. Why do you say that? Because
every second you're stressing that you have hundreds and hundreds
and thousands of people and with your lives, their lives
in your hands, Like if you can't like go, it's
time for a second, like on the microphone, you know
(05:14):
four in the area you can come into like you
don't get to go on to Funday over Sorry up
there it's at sleepy. Only one plane out of five
thousand crash. That's pretty good. Are we talking about the
(05:35):
people getting mad at us for going on vacation. But
air traffic controllers back to that. Not only do they
pretty I mean it's a high stress job. I'm not gonna,
you know, denigrate that at all, but they have a
pretty great work day if you just look at it.
And then I think after ten years or fifteen years,
you were required to retire and then receive a pension.
(05:56):
Air traffic controlling. By the way, speaking people being mad
at us, I was prorized how many people posted. If
you can look at your social media, if you read
the comments, like you put a picturep in Greece, right,
I put a pictu up in Florida. Daniel was in Alaska.
People like you guys on vacation. I just came here
for the night, just for the night. Oh god I was.
(06:20):
When I flew back, I got stuck in the airport
for eight hours. Because my theory is the pilots wanted
to watch the World Cup match. I'm not even kidding,
because I get that. We were on the term BAC
for an hour. I could see that, and I'm like,
why aren't we moving? And then they get on and
they explained that he was a Russian airline, so they
say it in Russian, and then all these Russian people
(06:41):
like they just grabbing their bags, and then they did
the English translation, like, Okay, we're going back to the airport.
That was your Russian impression. So we go back to
the airport, and then coincidentally, we were stuck in the
airport for the next two hours, just as long as
the World Cup match. Well, I hope you didn't have
Russian pilots because they must be pissed. Oh well, I
think they may have wanted to watch, but it's I mean,
(07:03):
you guys, it took forever to get back. During that
Croatia Russia game, I was on the Asbury Park boardwalk
at a some bar, and I could not believe how
many people Americans were now into World Cup this this
go around. I think it's had its biggest promotion ever
and America is not even in it. But it has
nothing to do about America. Not being in it. I
(07:25):
think everybody relates to their nationality and that team and
they have friends and family that are there. So Russia
tied it up that people were screaming and throwing beer.
The thing is, the thing is if and if you
were like, are a fan of like the different teams
you know, in general, just because your person plays for
(07:46):
a British team, if they're not British, they're not going
to be on the British World Cup team. You actually
have to be from that country to play for the team.
Some people don't know that and they were like, well,
I don't understand why that person. So is that why?
Um Ronaldo is what, he's Portuguese, but he's playing for Spain.
He's Portuguese, so he plays for Portugal the World Cup,
(08:10):
but he plays for Real Madrid in Real Real Madrid
gotch Why because you have to go back to Yeah,
it's just like the Olympics and when we're when we're
in the World Cup, when World Cup is in the
United States and not the next one, no, not the
next one, the one so when that happens, we automatically
get in so America automatically, so the home so we
(08:31):
can suck. Even if we suck, we get in here.
But there's Mexico and Canada also get in automatically depends
who's president. But my house is right now because you
know so, I think can I be a yeah, I
think your husband's being a little presumptuous. All I saw
in my my Instagram feed was it's coming home. Yeah.
(08:54):
The last time they won was in nineteen sixties six
did England vents soccer? But that's the case. That's their thing.
It's coming home. That's there, that's today. Do that when
you go to visit, like are coming home. But my
husband cannot talk, like he has no voice because he
and he's it's hysterical watching him because he's so passionate
(09:16):
about it. But he says these British words that you
would like. He go on, my son is a big thing,
he says, and like he'll he'll yell at one of
the players, go on, my son, get that ball. And
I'm just like and I'm like, oh my god, he's
so and he has no voice and he there says.
The semifinal for England is Wednesday, and if they beat
Croatia then Sunday they play in the final and I
(09:38):
think we're going to have a party at my house.
He's such a fan of England. What's he doing living here?
Shut up, you're on the Norwegian bliss or vacation. Did
you miss anything because you had to watch the World
Cup game? Now? We we we kind of schedule things
around the World Cup. And we sat outside on the
bliss in Alaska, freezing, sitting by the in our coats
(10:01):
and hats, watching World Cup under blankets. They gave out
blank instead of giving out towels to dry yourself off
at the pool, they gave out blankets to give yourself
for Yeah, but it was first you can see Russia
from Alaska, but it was really it was cool. So
we're excited at home. We'll even happen. Is a good team.
(10:22):
Croatia and France's favored to win the entire thing, so well, yeah,
that's right they are. I'm good with Croatia beating Russia.
I mean, after all that's happened, you know, with Russian
in vading them at all, I feel like it's a
little payback that's not even not even the whole Cold War. Well,
I was watching Sweden and England played the other day
when England one, and then all I could see was
(10:44):
all these sad Swedes, which I felt terrible for very
good looking said, I was just gonna say, there's not
one ugly person in Sweden. Like every guy, every girl
they showed on camera sitting in that in the stand
was hot and blonde and blue hot. Him, Like, where's
the ugly people? I went to? Yeah? I went to
Stockholm a few years ago and I was on the
(11:05):
shuttle from the plane to the airport terminal and I
saw a guy and I kid you not, I would
have had sex with him. He was the most handsome
man I've ever seen in my life, even even the muppet,
the Swedish chef him, I don't know about that. I
would walk around Stockholm. I see a girl outside smoking
a cigarette. She's taking a break from working the counter
in a pharmacy, and I'm like, you could be a model.
(11:26):
What are you doing smoking cigarettes outside of a pharmacy? Gorgeous?
It's why she's smoking outside of a pharmacy, Like, I
don't know. They're like, have you ever gone out of
a hospital and seen the medical staff outside like smoking?
What the hell are you doing that? You work in
a pool hall or a bowling alley and you're out smoke.
(11:47):
I get that, but what are you doing? Maybe it's
the guy that you know has to change the bed pans.
If that's the case, I hope he's smoking cigarettes. Yeah alright,
but it was it's the nurses. Look, you know, if
you're a nurse and you smoke, you're listening to this podcast,
what are you doing? Yeah? What do you If you
want to scro for a living, you should not be smoking.
(12:08):
I gotta tell you. Um, While I was on vacation,
the my dental hygienist was actually hard to believe at
my She was hanging out of the pool with me,
so I felt a little weirder she should go back
and train some wor instead I hang out of the
pool and out right now. I was thinking of like
I'm like, oh my god, she want to ask me
(12:29):
like some business questions here at the pool while she's
in a two piece, and I'm like staring at her
and we're staring each other, and she's like, you really
shouldn't be eating that because it's bad for your teeth.
Like I felt like I was being judged and watched.
Did you feel compelled to floss? Like? But floss. No,
I just I mentioned, you know, you mentioned that. It
just I was like, wow, I remember that moment speaking
(12:51):
of people calling you out. I was down the seat
Sea side heights, right, and some you know the game,
the people that are running the games, and they have
the microphone on kind of play kind of. So she
sees me and on the microphone, oh my gosh, or
you from Elvins around the you know. I'm like, uh yeah.
It was so loud. So she says, I'm gonna let
(13:13):
everyone know you're here. And then so one of my
friends turns to me and goes, didn't she already just
kind of do that blew up your spot? She was
so sweet. She gave us a prize. We didn't even
win the game, which was very very nice. But I
was like, oh my gosh, it was on Like I
don't think she even realized she did it on the microphone,
and I'm like waiting, you know, like you're sit there like, yeah,
I don't. I don't normally get recognized that. I recognized
(13:34):
four times on vacation, and once was at Disney coming
off a ride. Once it was at my dry cleaners.
I went into a new new dry cleaner for because
my regular guy couldn't fix something. She's, oh my god,
you're David Brodie. How do you know that? And she
had the Elvistra and replay channel playing in the background.
She's like, I'm lost like you right now. But the
the awkward one was in Bedbeth and Beyond. So I'm
walking through the store and the guy says, can I
(13:57):
help you find? Can I get you anything? Sir? You
need anything? Yeah? How about a free shopping spree? So
some guy turns when he goes free, Hey, you're David Brody.
So the guy asked us who he didn't know I was.
That's Brody from Ze. He wants free stuff. I had
a freak out at the Marina Grill in Bell mar
(14:18):
Some guy screaming at the dock scared Joe, but he
was hammered. He didn't pay the check as f this guy,
and he was like, you don't understand every day. But
the best part is when the person that's with him
could give a rats ass couldn't. I couldn't give a
rats just like it was a woman too, and she
(14:39):
was like disgusted, who is this? Make anybody recognized you?
And Mikanos actually I got recognized twice at the parting
on how crazy is that fifteen minute Morning O
