Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcasts
represents show. A lot of kids got to be driving
you crazy? Why is everything? How are you doing? I'm down?

(00:25):
Do you know what you're doing? I might be drunk,
but I don't want to drink in front of the kids.
He's always kids walking around. It's take your I can't.
I can't even speak because every other word is usually
a swear word. I dropped one F bomb in front
of great They hear that. I already said ship in
front of Alex Agrin's kid. Alex is our manager, sales manager.
I didn't curse in front of any of the kids.

(00:47):
How ironic is that? Because I don't. I try very hard,
it doesn't always work. I cursed in front of your
kids the last time they were here. I believe me,
they've heard it. Jeff Smith's kid, alright, step kid swore
in front of him. Probably they're small, so you don't
even really realize they're they're they're older and larger children.
It's easier to know at that age it's the parents fault.

(01:07):
They even know what that word means. Well, it's funny.
So Jeff Smith, our engineer, he brought his step son
in and I wanted to play a joke on Jeff's
and have his stepson go to Jeff our engineer, and say, hey,
Garrett brought me into a studio and said I could
push a button. So I push a button, but something happened.
He's scared of Jeff because he knows how Jeff gets
when when things go off the air. We're all scared

(01:27):
of Jeff. I know. I'm just saying it goes past us.
Is this really the environment to be bringing your kids
to work? I think I think this this job specifically
as a cool environment. Yeah, I don't know. I disagree
because I just feel like it's we're gonna sit bad impressions.
First of all, there there's liquor bottles hanging out everywhere.
We acted appropriately, Nate said, He swore, I swore, we

(01:51):
we cushed like crazy. We don't dress appropriately. It's I
don't know, kids don't dressing appropriately. Is the issue, whether
you're wearing a T shirt or not. It's the fact
that our show isn't designed for little kids, and so
they come here and they can't listen to the thing
that's supposed to come here and involved themselves with exactly.
And then Garrett makes them record negative shit about us. Well,
I will say, I will say that it's much more

(02:12):
interesting for the child to come here as opposed to
I don't know, maybe a banker. I don't know, maybe
a warehouse, I don't know. That's what I'm saying. This
job specifically is kind of cool. When you think about it,
it looks like a playground from a kids standpoint, think
about the bragging rights. Kid goes to school on Friday
and says, hey, I was at a radio station. Where
were you? I go to rock you know what I mean?

(02:33):
But usually the environment that we have, I mean, there's
like bottles of pills hanging out something wait wait wait
wait wait hold edit that edit that there's no bottles
of pills. Bottles Okay. By point is there's open bottles,
there's and look at the sockets. There's are not kid

(02:54):
proofs some wait wait wait wait some kids packets can
hold there just looking off the counter that none of
the kids here are too. Do you have any idea
what you're talking about? Kids that are here that have
come through their parents have been watching them. The older
children like great Teas and Scotty Bees. Kids are old
enough to know not to put their finger at a side.

(03:15):
How old do you think you have to be to
be Oh, I'm gonna put my finger everywhere? How old
were you enough? How old were you scary? When you
stop putting a fork in the outlet? He still doesn't
it's scary, apparently, according to you, until the child is eighteen,
there's still the danger of them drowning in the bathtub.
I mean is that? I don't know. I don't know.

(03:37):
If I listen, I'm you're asking the wrong person. But
you're the only one talking about You're the one volunteering
this information. My opinion is of that. I don't know
if this is the safest environment to bring your kids
from the kid's perspective, absolutely shiny microphones and buttons, and
think about it though You're at school and the teachers
asking so, who's going to work with their parents tomorrow?

(03:59):
And everbody over raised your hand, where are you going? Oh?
My mom's the secretary. I'm going to go with her
to work. Oh cool, what's your dad do? Oh? My
dad does this? My pair works at the radio station
and I get to stick my fingers in the socket. It.
As far as safety, I beg to differ I think
like a foundry or something is probably slightly Yeah. By
the way, I'm gonna say that because I think we're

(04:22):
speaking for us, because I think my kids think that
I have a cool job, but they do not. I
would think, off, your dad's a firefighter and you could
climb on a fire engine. That's cooler. Like, I think
we're underestimating a lot of cool jobs up take you
take your I would like to go to work with,
Like once my kids came here the first time, other
than like if this is celebrity. Once they came here
the first they're like, oh, yeah, that's where dad were.

(04:42):
They're used to it at our desks. I'm saying is
maybe this is the job with the most hazards. I
would say construction site here, Johnny, put on this hard hat.
You're gonna work with daddy fisherman. Maybe I don't know.
My dad runs a wood chipper. Know what name just said?

(05:04):
What if? What if your dad is an Alaskan King
crab fisherman? What if he dad's a crap dealer, So
that's that's safer than coming to work here. That would
be worse. What does your dad do? He's a crip?
My father my father. My dad's a correction officer. I'm
gonna work with Rikers Island now. He worked at con
which is actually did he get a bucket of water

(05:25):
and hold a live wire and get in the bucket
of water? I remember? Or now you know why he's
worried about the electrical outlets? The is the is the
New York Electric State Electric Company for those who don't write. Okay,
so you know what it stands for. What consolidated Edison?
Very nice? I mean, hello, he worked there for years.
He had the blue hat. So anyway, he showed me,

(05:47):
one bring your kids to work there. I remember that.
I was that. I went to him to work to
his electric the electrical plant. He handed me a fork. No,
I'll never forget this. And I was quarantine to the
trailer because if you go outside, they're live power plants everywhere.
It's like electricity every but the radio station is more dangerous. No,

(06:10):
it was just as dangerous, if not worse. But but
here's the here's the thing. You didn't go and take
your kid to work day because that don't take your
child to work only came into about fifteen years ago.
Used to be take your daughter to work day, So
I never got to experience going to work with my
parents on that specific day. Then maybe there was pictures
that exist of me there that was That was a

(06:33):
holiday known in our neighborhood as I don't want him,
you take them to work day. Yeah, we had that
like every Friday, and I have him every day. Take
him with you? Right? Also, go ahead? Did? I went
to work with my grandfather when I was a kid,
and he was a real estate agent and he let
me do all paper work and stuff at this office,
and I thought it was the good job, that's so cool.
My mom was a receptionist at a media care like

(06:55):
Urgent Care, and so that that wasn't the most eating
of jobs because I just sit in the waiting room
and then my job at the end of the day
was to organize all of the toys and the kids
play section. I was I was sick all the time,
and I was like, why are you always sick? I'm
because you're taking me to work and I'm putting away
toys and sick kids have been. Is that why you

(07:15):
became a paramedic though, Because that's because I fell down
a flight of stairs when I was nine or eight
or seven and you set your own back. Uh no,
I cracked my head open. I almost died. Yeah, yeah,
I still have a scar. I don't know if you
can see it, but I cracked my head open. I
was jumping down the stairs carrying a typewriter because back
when I was like seven eight, I wanted to be

(07:36):
a businessman, so I used a typewriter and carbon copy paper.
So if your dad built staircases, that's a dangerous job. Yeah, right,
scare according to you. Yeah, you can see. My my
dad was a police officer. I could not go to
work with him. I'm gonna ride along. I couldn't do it.
My mom, though, worked in an office, and I used
to go and make copies of everything I owned on
the copy machine because it was free. I copied on

(07:59):
my base ball cards. I don't know why, but I
got copies of my baseball cards. Yeah I wish, But
that was to me. That was don't have to be
a radio station. It was the fact that your parents
took you with them to the adult world and that
you got to eat lunch with adults. You know, they
want what order lunch, and you ate with them and
you make stole pens. I think I stole a whole puncher.
Still have it, they do. I requisitioned it on my own,

(08:25):
but it was cool. I just I think this is
like there's nothing going on here, Like if you don't
listen to my kids, don't listen to the show. Here's
what they have planned. They do have stuff planned for
the day. So apparently they're going to go in with
how and Mike and they're gonna cut commercials. They're gonna
do something on the microphone. Then they have they had
a meet and greet with our receptionists. Yes, they planned really.

(08:48):
Now they're actually in the Duncan Don't Duncan Donuts Coffee lounge,
body entertained by great treat. They came down and they said, hey,
we need a DJ for the DJ meet and greet.
The kids are getting restless. Who can come? So Gregg
t put on a red nose and went down there.
That monkey in the circus where you tell the monkey
to dance, he dances. He's like, I'll go. I'm like, okay,

(09:09):
So we're going on that. We're going on the Norwegian
cruise next week. Um for like the cruise to know
where we're calling it. So they're taking off the Friday
to go to that, and they're actually missing a test
at school they gotta have to retake, so they're already
going to use the day next night. So it's kind
of tough my kids in seventh grade, like like Brodie's
because when you're older, you miss a lot if you
if you missed, the little one would have probably come.

(09:32):
But like I said, he's missing next week. So you're
gonna call him the little one when he's thirty, aren't you.
He's he's nine. He's always been my little one. I'm
thirty eight. I'm still the baby. That's because of the
way you act. Well, yeah, you don't get what you want.
And my little break the little big school next year,
that's when he stops becoming Like that's when they really mature.

(09:56):
I mean, I can't believe, like my twelve year has,
like you know them, a little mustachey thing growing. He's
got yes, he's got shut up. He's got outsize ten
foot he's three inches taller than me already. I know
that yet. Yeah, girls, but he's coy about it. Get

(10:18):
the funny. All his friends have girlfriends, like well they
one guy thinks he has like ten girlfriends. He's constitutes
girlfriend in the world. Okay, So here's what it is.
Text on the phone and they walk together at school.
That's it. That's all they do. They don't they don't
go out, they don't time time. I don't even think
they do that text text text Oh I like you,

(10:39):
Oh I like you too. Oh what are you doing? Oh? Nothing,
I'm gonna go to bed now. Okay, but the kids
in school now face timing something completely. Yeah. Anyway, so
he they try to force him to like girls, like
they're like, Spencer, you should really like this girl, and
he's like, and I go, She's he doesn't like blonde.
I noticed the girl. He likes our darker haired girls. Yeah,

(11:02):
here's an interesting question for everybody. Who was your first
boyfriend slash girlfriend? Because I remember, well the boyfriends for
Danielle come on, give me a little bit of credit here.
But Katie Blazer I think was fifth or sixth grade.
That's a great name. Yeah, Katie Blazer. And we went
to Free Willy Too. I love Yeah, Free really Too.

(11:24):
That was the movie we went to see. And basically
the relationship at that point is you call our house
or something and how Mr Blazer is Katie home? And
that was a relationship that was boyfriend girlfriend. My mom
used to pick up the phone in the other room.
I would hear. I would hear like them, and then
she'd listen in all my conversations with my boyfriend Mario
back in the day, and I'd be like, mom, and
then I would walk and I'd see her like this,

(11:47):
nobody can see what I'm doing. I'm covering the phone
with my hand. I would see to my mom running away,
and her answer is, how am I going to know
what's going on? Unless I say, wow, damn, what's it?
Like I did. I didn't have I didn't date when
I was a kid, Like I didn't have that little

(12:09):

bit more eloquently than what was your first girlfriend's? Gary?

first time, I kissed the boy. Do you count my cousin?

first kiss. You said was your passin? I said it?

adults are having coffee and cake, that's when troubles going
