Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
First show? Let's chemical smell? Do you smell that? Yeah?
What is? It? Smells like a like a hair dog?
I think it's my hand sanitizer. I just put on
smells good. It's I took it from me. Are we

(00:26):
recording it? You're good? Okay, just make sure recording I
started the show. Want to make sure we're recording it? Hello,
are you there? Are you sure all right? It wouldn't
be funny if we did a whole fifteen minute morning
show podcast and we realized we didn't record it. Have
you guys ever done that? Yes? There was one day.
It stopped that to like that two minutes and we

(00:46):
had to pick it up from that point, and that's
not good. I did that with an interview once I
was interviewing a band. It was actually the Bear Naked Ladies.
I was doing an interview with the Bear Naked Ladies
and it was a great interview, and I realized it
didn't record damn thing. So I chase them down and
I go, guys, I'm so sorry, And they were so kind.
They did the whole interview with me again. Danielle and

(01:09):
I did that to a phone tap, so you record
what you did an entire phone tap on someone. Then
you realized it wasn't recording. And all you hear is
Danielle's part, so you don't hear the person we were
phone tapping, so you hear daniel laughing at herself pretty much.
That's the thing about, you know, recording interviews or phone
taps or whatever. There's so many moving parts. That's why
I don't know how to work any of these buttons.

(01:30):
If you look on this board that's in front of me,
how many buttons are on here? Greg, come counting the button?
For Greg, come count the button? Okay, come count the buttons?
All right, So here we are the fifteen minute Morning
Show podcast. We're joined by Samantha, who, by the way,
has been doing a great job coming in on the
show and hanging out with us. We appreciate it very

(01:52):
And there's of course Dave Brody is here. Garrett's always
here with excellent, excellent perspective and sound. We love it
when you come and enjoy to end up, there's Danielle
Straightenate is here, and there's me no great teas here
counting the buttons. Yes what I well, Sam knows what
you just did. You said, Sam's here str a great

(02:12):
job coming in helping out. There's Brodie Garrett adding inside
to the show. He didn't say anything about me either,
but you're a cost the matter. You're great. But here's
the thing, maybe he just feels like you know that
you're doing a good job and you've been around long enough,
so why does he have to teach your horn? Also,
this is a little different, the fifteen Minute Morning Show podcast.
It allows us to feature people at a different level

(02:34):
of involvement than the big show, and so Sam and
Garrett are rarely in here that much. He's Hi Maiden
and salves why is so high maintenance? Like a kind
word from you? Sometimes I need your approval? Do you
really need my approval? And if I did, I wouldn't
still be here? Stormed out, stormed out long years ago.

(02:56):
By the way, Friday, St. Patrick's Day is the twentieth
anniversary of me meeting the Morning Show for the first time.
Where was the place we used to uh Mcsorley's Connolly's.
There was a live St. Patrick's Day broadcast and I
was writing scripts and song parodies and you said, you
guys said, come on down meet us at the twenty

(03:18):
years ago St. Patrick's day will until you doing radio
back then was a totally different different vibe. And so
Sam and Garrett and uh and Nate you weren't here,
No Greg Ta was here. Um. I mean we would
go do the morning show and we would sit there
and we would actually smoke. We would smoke in the
bar and we'd be drinking and getting snot slam dunk.

(03:39):
I was legal to smoke in the bar. You weren't
doing it, and you aren't breaking the law smoking in
the bar. Absolutely. It was a whole different time. And
of course we were just on in New York. We
were not on in any other cities, and so we
just it was all just a New York ze. Let's
get really just effed up. The second year, when I
was now working with the show, we had a young
comic on who showed up blasted out of his mind

(04:01):
on pot, wreaking of marijuana, John start Stewart, right, Oh yeah,
he was a young comic and nobody knew what I
know he was. He was awesome, smoking like a chimney too.
We're all smoking cigarettes with John Stewart. I mean, we
still get messed up that part hasn't changed too much.
We got really messed up. Back to different. By the way,
Great Tea is still he and Nate are both counting them.
He has helped now, so he has Great Tea to
count the buttons, and now he has Nate helping him

(04:23):
count the button. Just say, you know what the funny
thing is, you really are right. There's a lot of buttons. Okay,
so you guys trust me with all these buttons. This
is impossible. I I you know, I just realized when
I first started. One of the best phone taps I
ever did, I didn't record. No, it was the fourth
or fifth, the one that got away. I called a
woman to tell her that she was being sequestered on

(04:46):
a trial of a mobster, and I made up all
kinds of mobster names and told us she wouldn't be
able to leave the court. And I was grilling her.
I'm like, do you know Jimmy the Weasel? No, yes,
you're doing a lot and it was. It was really funny.
And the woman was probably in her sixties at the time,
and she was terrified. I can't, I can't the mob
I'm afraid. It was great, and then record it. We

(05:06):
have to believe you. It was hilarious. So back to
this board that you put me in front of and
trust me to operate during the show. How many buttons
are on this board? Four hundred and seventy two buttons.
That is a lot of a lot of but I
don't know what any of them do? You know? Maybe
ten of them excepted the one with your name on it.

(05:27):
But there's one that is my name on it, and
there's there are certain buttons that have a certain amount
of options per button. So like on this one button,
like you can hit it a couple of times, so
it changes that whole sleeve of buttons that it's on
that line exactly, so so you could probably multiply four ten.
I have five thousand buttons in front of me. I

(05:50):
remember when I first got into radio and I was
trying to figure out the board. So I was asking
the engineer all these questions, and I said, what do
these buttons do? To the engineer who's supposed to know
everything about that board, and he goes, Oh, don't worry
about those They don't do anything to the point of
even having the button. What's the point of even having
the buttons if they don't do anything. I'm gonna take
a picture of this nothing. There's nothing secret on here, right,

(06:11):
I'm gonna take a picture of this right here. So
many i'm taking a picture of I can't even get
all the buttons in the picture. Right. You know what
my favorite day was here so far as was. I
think it was Elvis's birthday, but I don't remember. Yeah,
it was was his birthday whatever. And you knocked over
a drink and it's spilled on the board, and all
you heard was the whole room just melted starting the

(06:37):
second today to Nate spilled coffee on the board this morning,
and I'm like, oh no, it's gonna short any second.
But thankfully he got it in an area that wasn't
The engineers are not worried about the board and just
about changing five thousand buttons. Yeah, I got candlewax on
it two weeks ago. You remember that. No, there was

(06:58):
a smell in here, and you're like, what's that smell?
So I went and got the candle and then you
were tying the candle burning, So I blew it out,
but I blew too forcefully and it's splew. The You
just play spread the wax all over the board. Remember that.
Did you see the picture when they took the board
out in the main radio station studio, they lifted it
out all the food and crumbs and pieces of meat
and got up soda that was underneath the disgusting. I

(07:22):
just posted on Instagram all the buttons, and I want
everyone to go to at elvist round on Instagram to see, Like,
if you had to sit in front of these buttons
every day, what do you want to just start pushing
them to see what they do? Yeah, I've done that,
like you're on an elevator. You just want to want
to push them all? Yeah, you know, want to do that.
I'm gonna come in one day, just push every one
of those the exit here. Jeff would go nuts and
be like what are you doing when some of these

(07:44):
buttons are more powerful than others? Like this button round? Yeah, okay,
this little red button down here. If I push that,
every radio station that's on our network, we'll play a commercial.
This button too. Yeah, there's the dumb button. So if
someone says like fun uck or ship something like that,
you can push that button and it Remember you remember

(08:07):
when I didn't edit the phone tap properly and there
were two curses in one phone tap, and you actually
had to stop playing it because you'd already hitt remember that. Yeah,
we looked at each other and we said, did that
just so we hit the button right to dump it,
and then three seconds goes by and another swear word
comes out, like, Okay, that's it. Why didn't you fire

(08:27):
me that? Why why didn't we fire her that? Anyway? So,
so Sam, what is on your mind today? On the spot?
Let's play the game on the spot on the spot
go boom. Okay, I'm super hyped up right now, to
the point where I have the tremors. And it's because
I had one cup of coffee this morning, as per usual,
and my friend brought me another cup of coffee, which
I thought was really sweet, But you didn't tell me

(08:48):
until I was almost completely done that she put two
things of espresso in there. So now my body is
like fighting to do this survival mode. Yeah, you know,
you gotta be careful. It's not working out very well.
I just love, you know, having the coffee to drink,
and then before you know, you've had three cups and
then all of a sudden, you your heart is jumping
at your throat. Yeah, and I feel dehydrated. Okay, Brodie,

(09:09):
you're on go. I'm HARKing back to the conversation we
had before the fifteen minute Morning Show where I told
young Samantha that in life, when somebody leaves the job
who works with you, or you leave a job, you
swear you're gonna stay friends with these people, but you don't.
And Sam's at a point in her life where she's
still dude and optimistic and thinks everybody here's gonna be
her friends forever. And I said no, because we've lost

(09:29):
a few people over the past year. It's the way
it is. And you go, oh, yeah, So so we've
talked about Sam who used to another Sam, like, yeah,
she's dead to me. We talk every day, like what
I well, you know she still work here anymore. I
really don't see her that much in common Weather. I
liked her when she was here, but she's out, out
of side, out of mind. I talked to almost everyone
who's not here anymore. But it's also like high school
and college. Though you sign your yearbooks after graduation, and

(09:50):
the last word you say to those people are we're
gonna stay friends forever. And look, you know what you
do you just don't talk to them ever. Again my
favorite kind Facebook. We're friends, but you know we don't talk.
That's what Facebook is for. Oh, it's birthday. Being the
oldest guy in the room, I've been I've moved around
more than anyone in this room. I've had more friends,

(10:13):
probably through work than anyone in this room. I'm just
assuming that. But you do have good intentions, but you
don't always keep up with them. Your best of friends
are no longer your best of friends doesn't mean you
don't like them. I demand eternal friendships. Some friendships you
need to be forced to be with each other every
day at work. Otherwise you wouldn't find the time to

(10:35):
hang out with each other. It's just the way it is.
They who from your last morning show? Are you in
touch with a lot? No? No, he was on a
show after that. No, actually nobody really from my last show.
Even though your friends I worked with him every day
for five almost six years, did you spend time with
them outside of work? Yeah? Yeah, It's different for everyone.
And as Danielle said, she she is the best at

(10:57):
keeping up with old acquaintance. Old acquaintance, I mean I
don't text them all the time. But I stick and
Tim Will used to work here, and I mean I
still check in all the time. He has everything. Well,
you haven't hung out with him, you know the movies
with Tim. That's not true. I've done. I've done with
Stick to dinner. You know you're a better person than
It's just that I think him. I look at it

(11:18):
differently than you do. That's all. That's what I love
about Gregg T though. He's honest though as opposed to like,
oh well, we'll stay friends forever. Greg t t to
tell all of us, fuck you. I don't want to
see you anyway. What's the name of your book? T? No,
there's nothing going you. I don't want to see anymore.
I'm going to write a book when the fit hits
the shand and that will be the last I talk

(11:40):
to everybody. That'll be done. Well, what makes you think
we want to talk to you when you know that's
not fun. It's more fun when I don't want to
talk to you. Guys, that's not fun. You don't want
to talk to you. I gotta be honest, But I
leave this place we will probably never ever see each other. Everyway,
I believe the same thing I do. I always thought that,

(12:00):
like one day when when you know, because I mean
evidently you know, I mean, eventually the show will come
to an end, you know, even if we're like eighty
whatever it is, I promise you it'll be sooner than that. Well,
when that day comes, I think, you know, when I'm
finish your sentence, I just imagined me walking out kind
of like off the hat, looking right, looking left, and

(12:21):
kind of morphing in with the crowd and just going, wow,
it's pretty it's a pretty cool and then just like
never looking back, but just keeping it in my memory. Wow,
you're actually fantasizing that pays. As he's walking out what
I don't even know anymore? This used to be my
plague grounds. I've heard all of this. Okay, wait, okay,

(12:43):
so great T has said he's going to black He's
gonna blare out this used to be my playground by Madonna.
As he walks out the front door for the last time,
I just I don't know, and then just kind of
like find myself in the middle of I could play
that right now, I'll say it if it helps. If
play that, I just I think I'm just gonna look
back and go that was that was a fun ride,

(13:05):
and then that'll be it, and then nobody will ever
hear from me again. Well, I must be honest, I
don't know if we're gonna keep in touch after we're done.
I don't know that that's the thing. We don't know.
You have plans, you have good intentions, you don't know
until you get there. Maybe it's a girl thing, you think,
maybe because the God, I mean, I don't know. The
good news is Elvis doesn't answer our text or calls now,

(13:26):
so it'll be the same afterwards. It's true. But I
think it's something with moving, like next to you, Elvis.
I think I'm the person that's moved around the most,
and I think from my life, I know when you move,
you start a whole new group of friends, and you
put all your all of your effort and injury into
that group of friends. And then when you move again,
you say, this is my life now, and you kind
of just reset your life. Are you guys? Um of

(13:48):
the thought we're thinking that the thought that you really
just only have so much room in your heart and
in your head and in the space of a day
to be able to have a quality relationship with a
certain amount of people. You just don't have enough real
estate for everyone. You don't You don't agree with that. No,
I don't agree with that. I don't know. I'm just
in a place where, thankfully, right now, with all my friends,

(14:10):
I get all the time I want with the people.
I am a weird personality, I don't understand. I think
that's admirable. But what you and Danielle can do, I
think that is admirable. I mean, I can't hang out
with you and see you as much as i'd like
because I have a family and it's not going to happen.
But to send you a text just to check in
and see how you're doing doesn't take even a text

(14:32):
does take mind space. It doesn't take real estate in
my life, it really does. I think it's what it
serves for you. Though a lot of people say like
hanging out with people as a stress. I don't, So
why wouldn't I want to stay in touch with the
people that I love. It's like a therapy for me.
It's the opposite. I think that's great. I wish I
could do that. Sorry anyway, what if right now is goodbye?
In eight seconds minute morning show? Oh
