Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
phone represents show? All right, Well, you can't tell we're late,
because the podcast starts when you push play. It could
be any time of day. But we're starting the recording
of this podcast a little later than usual. Usually started

(00:25):
like right around ten or ten o five East Coast time.
It's now ten, yeah, and it feels late. Man. It
most my world. And flu also Scary and I are
messed up because I plugged my headphones into this little
guy over here. But this little guy over here is
all jacked up, and he's like right, So then I

(00:46):
plugged my headphones in over here. But then this is
normally we're Scary would plug his, and so he just
jacked my headphones up so loudly, thinking it was his,
that was my headphone volume, but it was We cannot
cross pollinaate on the headphone. We just crossed the headphone
holes should not touch each other. She's in my hole
and I'm in Brodie's hole. Oh my god, here we

(01:07):
got bad news. Don't freak out. But Scary is plugged
into your headphone hole because Bethany's in my hole. Bethany's
hole isn't operating. From checked out. How is your whole anyway?
So so you gotta go into great tease hole? Yeah,
yeah you do. You don't have a choice. Whose hole

(01:27):
are you in, Garrett? I'm in my own hole? Yeah,
Nate in his hole with the guests. All right. The
reason we're late is we just had our annual Christmas
slash holiday planning meeting trying to figure out what we're
doing on the show that's extra special for the holiday season.
We came up with some pretty good ideas. One of
them is this, can I talk about the temperature thing?

(01:49):
You know, ninety eight degrees? They have a Christmas album,
so they're gonna come in and sing on the I
Believe November And so we thought, what we get Jeff
engine or Jeff So I thought, if we're gonna have
ninety eight degrees in here, we should jack the temperature
of the studio up to I think this is a
great idea, and I think engineering Jeffer. We just had

(02:15):
this whole conversation the other day on the show about
how people think it's too cold and the reason it's
kept cold room temperature because this equipment doesn't like big
swings in temperature because condensation builds up and we will
only be for just a little while. Maybe it's set

(02:37):
a space heater next to him so it feels warm
to them, but the rest of the room won't. No,
we're never going to get here because the air conditioning
is going to constantly be battling the whole point of
every system we have here, so that it's not degrees
in here alright, crabby, Mr re engineer Man, Yeah, what

(02:59):
if just for a five minutes segment because I like
it cold, you know me, I'm elsa. I what if
we put thuran rap or something over the A C
events so when they kick on, just doesn't happen for
five minutes, we get up to ninety degrees for the
pictures and then bring it back down. And then five
minutes later when Elvis goes to go to a break

(03:21):
on its console and there's a little bit of conversation
in there, and he moves the fader and the thing
goes spark boom, no more. Show what happens? Well, I
don't think it will be condensation. There could be don't
paper towels down. I think I think we can get away.
In a technicality, Jeff said, the equipment has to be
kept at room temperature. Well, if the rooms ninety degrees,
that's still room temperature. Okay, okay, Jeff. Rather than pooh

(03:44):
pooing on our idea, let's come up with some solutions.
If we want to be in a room that's ninety
degrees with ninety degrees, why don't why don't we make
why don't we make the green room ninety degrees. It's
a smaller space. We can easily do it in there.
We'll call it the hot box. And we'll call it
the hot box. Will be funny having everybody in the room, though,
because it's a very small room. So the four guys
plus you guys, I mean you're talking almost every people

(04:05):
in that room, and we'll tell them you can't perform
for us until it's up to ninety degrees. We'll track
the temperature all morning, and when it hits ninety eight,
we gotta stop everything and get in there and do
a show. Can you We need microphones into these, so
you're gonna have to have I can do that for you,
are you guys? We can't come up with that with that?
Don't like that the green room when I'll be the
hot room now. The next day, have you told him yet?
We're having the cast of frozen and cold place, so

(04:27):
we'll need it to be If you can get that done,
we'll see what we can do we want. It's so
cold you can hang your meat in here. You nice?
So I like that you said yes and instead of no.
But I like to see what see what happened in
our I heart engineering department. Jeff is always the one
who is immediately there with the answers and the solutions.

(04:48):
Always don't ask George, George, furious, furious George, George, George.
You know I love George, don't you? And George knows
I love George. But sometimes he can growl a little
too much. George is a marine, George. Marines are not assholes,
but all Marines are very firm, opinionated people. Peter Packers fan.
He has that going for him. I love George, you

(05:09):
know that. But sometimes he'll growl, and then he'll he
growled at me. Yesterday was probably there was I said,
the speakers in the studio, not this one, the other
one off balance. I can only hear the right speaker
but not the left. And he comes in because I
filled out a trouble ticket, because you go through a
whole computer system around here to get anything done. He
comes walking down the hall, he comes in. He analyzed

(05:29):
the situation for thirty seconds and makes me feel like
a complete idiot because he says, it's not hard. How
long you work here? And he bends down and there's
like this little knob near the floor, and he turns
the left knob and he says, see now you're balanced.
Made me feel like a dummy. He stopped short of
calling me one, but I certainly felt one. As he
walked out of the room, was like, he didn't stop

(05:51):
short of calling you that when he got back to
the shop. A very good question. What does the engineering
department say about us versus the other I heard shift
the twenty plus years. You think freaking scary would have
a clue as to what he's doing. That's what he
said a lot of Jeff Jeff, Jeff, Jeff Jeff. In general,

(06:12):
I mean, look, we are a high maintenance show. There's
a lot of us, there's a lot of moving parts.
We've got a lot of equipment, a lot of equipment
here more than everyone else. I guess I don't know
what does engineering say about our show compared to the
other big syndicated morning show we have here at the
Breakfast Club. Oh, you're so high maintenance. Really, yeah, they're
they're such easy going, nice, low maintenance people. You're the

(06:34):
one that has to vacuum up Gregg teas because they
don't have Greg. Take what's the highest maintenance thing about us? Greg? Greg?
Greg T can be yes or well know when Greg?
When Gregg T does some of his ridiculous stunts, like
when he barbecued outside here a couple of years ago
and set off the smoke alarms and we had to
deal with the building going. I rate on us for

(06:56):
setting off smoke alarm. It was weird looking outside the
window and a ladder starts appearing and a fireman was
you know, okay. So other than that, I'm not I'm
not him, You're not You're not high maintenance. Straight, and
our senior executive producer isn't high maintenance. He deals with
him the most wow occasion. It's it's a love hate

(07:19):
because anytime a guest comes in, Jeff is kind enough
to do the engineering and he makes them sound like
they're in professional better than a professional studio. But a
lot of times I don't give him the advanced notice
that they're coming in, because I don't get the advanced
notice notice. So I'll say, hey, Jeff, I'll wake him
up as he's taking a nap, which one Sam used
to get the advanced Really, who's Sam? Well? Sam, Sam,

(07:44):
you should tell him the entire Brian sets orchestra will
be here tomorrow. So engineering, it must be honest. We
gotta be honest. Without engineering, we wouldn't be on the
air and being It's one thing to build a studio
and get it on the air. It's another thing to
keep it on the air. And you guys do the
best job in the ship. But this is probably the
most fun show to be involved. I like that. That's

(08:04):
better than the Breakfast Club. That's what I'm hearing. I'm
not going to stand. Okay, Okay, so ninety degrees ninety degrees,
we need a room that's ninety degrees. I think we
can pull that off in the green room. Now, Okay,
do I need to go to home depot and buy
some fires the fires We might need this to get
a space heater or two. Okay, those are dangerous they

(08:26):
catch on fire fire. I think they're actually legal in
New York. City. But but we should do that, and
I think that's the only way we'll be able to
get it that warm. All right, Okay, so that room
will go to togrees. We'll put some microphones in there
and it can be the hot box. Okay, we know
the problem. We have another problem. Bettany's headphone hole. She
had to use Scary's hole. Now Scary is in Brodie's

(08:48):
hold and Brody is in Great Teas hole. And see
how that works. Tragic, But you say tragic, you're supposed
to go into the would I know that properly? This
would never have happen telling you he had submitted the
trouble to get about our whole this would have been
I'm telling you right, I'm just using I don't need
to trouble. But I'm telling you right now, can't you
just get alan wrench and go fix it? Doesn't work

(09:12):
that way? By the way, you got to go in
the computer Degrees has a song called the Hardest Thing?
Can we call it the Hottest Thing? All right? And
by the way, we're talking about furious George the engineer.
He is a sweetheart and we love him absolutely. Yeah,
you know, he's a big test has less patience than Jeff.
He has no patience. Did you fix her whole so

(09:35):
much better? Can you tell us why these headphones sounds
very quick? Can you tell us why these headphones sound
like ship sometimes? What's wrong with them? A reboot you
have to control? I'll delete it. Yes, the headphone and
needed the reboot? Okay, straight? And it has a look
on his face like he wants to kill everyone name
knows that. I just ret How do you reboot it?

(09:56):
You pull It's like a telephone jack to pull it out,
like internet cable in the Cat five cable. I'm gonna
learn how to reboot my whole. They call it a
Cat five. That was like a hurricane. It's the Ethernet
cable all right. Anyway, So it's been a lot of
fun having you in here. Uh, the extremely talented Jeff
from engineering. We love it. We're not kicking you out.

(10:16):
Who's your favorite person on the morning show. He's not
on our show? On our show, go I plead the fifth. No,
you can't leave the Elvis because his name is on
the show The worst Elvis Elvis' the I'm the jerk
at the top, the jerk at the bottom, and every

(10:37):
jerky in between. But thank you. Without the engineering department
of I Heart Radio, we would not function at all.
I mean, it's one thing to say that I couldn't
have been born without my mom. But your mom did
more than push you out. Your mom raised you. Your
mom was there for you to teach you the ropes.
The engineering department is our mom. Alright, what else are

(10:59):
you talking about? I just love he's going to walk
out of the room and talk about us. Can't wait
till he walks out the door. Let's see what we
say about Jeff. I dare you to walk out that door.
All right, Jeff? We love you, Jeff. Jeff everyone Jeff
He's the best. Love him. Fucking asshole anyway. Anyway, So

(11:24):
what else is going on? I'm trying to coordinate, Okay.
One of the things that we talked about at our
holiday meeting is trying to get a convertible for whatever
it is that we're trying to do. Convertible karaoke Caro, Yes, right,
so I'm working on I have a convertible. Do you
scary as a convertible? We both have converted What do
you have scary? Talking about how to get it convertible?

(11:45):
We have two of them. Why don't you say something
during the meat and think there's only seats four and
Elvis's seats twelve, so use his no, no, no no minds
about the same size. We need a large you know
what we need? We need uh like a nineteen sixties Continental,
you know what I'm saying, like a Lincoln. Scotty said, Yeah,
we need we need a vintage convertible that seats a
lot of people. Or let's taking to those New York

(12:09):
City Apple tour buses, the red one. Yeah, but it's
not a convertible. It needs to be convertible. I think
that's better. Okay, we'll find one. Drive it under a
low bridge. It'll be a convertible, all right. So we
need a convertible. What else do we need from our
from our meeting? Um? What do we need from our meeting? Tape? Decorations? Hey,
I have a d D. How was it when Bob

(12:31):
Sagett walked in today? Wasn't that a great thing? Show?
Everybody here, no matter how old or young, in the
entire building came running to see him because he's been
famous now for thirty five years. Bethany put her finger
in her hair and started twirling at dead. I love
him so much. He's America's dad to me. He'll always
be Danny Tanner from full House and now he's on
Fuller House. He's also the narrator for How He Met

(12:51):
Your Mother every episode he's the guy who says when
the show and he's in half Baked And can I
say America's Funniest home video? Yeah, Sunday, I watched that
show you do. I love that show as a kid.
That was the internet before the Internet. It's called YouTube now,
I know, I know, but that was how you got
the funny videos, the Jeff's and all these things that

(13:12):
people say, Hey, god, bild and another argument about Jeff
versus gift today it is Jeff if it, but people
get so Maddy, people get mad at you know. The
guy who invented it says it is Jiff. But we
you did a list today of companies we pronounced wrong
that it's Audidas, but we say Adidas, and we will
always say Adidas. So the guy that invented it said

(13:33):
it is actually Dossler. It's definitely Audidas, but it's what
do you call it? Adidas? Okay. The inventor of this
image format said the O E D wrongly has two
pronunciations of it. The right one is with a soft G. Tina,
you were in third place with a very impressive sixteen

(13:55):
thou two hundred. Did you come up with a correct response?
You said, what is a G I F pronounced Jeff?
You are right. Alex Trebek said, it's so smoke lap Brody.
You are a man standing on your own island. Gus
for graphics. So it's a good I'm not arguing about it,

(14:20):
and like, like we have the verse versus versus argument
here in the Northeast. My my boyfriend Alex calls it.
It's like Joe verse Carl. I'm like, it's not verse,
it's versus. So yesterday, uh, Garrett says something verse something.
I said, it's versus, and you're your Your reply was
it's the way I said growing up. Well does that

(14:40):
make it right? Yes, no, it doesn't, and it doesn't
because I said it the same way verse growing up.
But I learned that it is versus from what were
written VS. Yeah, I've learned that R s U VS.
Period is short for verses. But anyway, say it wrong
if you want to. Minute Morning Show
