Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Elvis Represents. Now you're saying this because I tweeted that yesterday,
or does everyone have the same thing in mind? What
I mean about Thanksgiving being next Thursday? You took a
look at my Twitter from yesterday in the afternoon, I tweeted,
(00:25):
oh my god, Thanksgiving. I was walking with Elvis in
the airport yesterday coming back from Florida, and I turned
to him and I said, can you believe that next
weekend is Thanksgiving? Next Thursday? And he said, shut up, no,
it's not. And I said, yes it is, and I
showed it on my phone and he's like, oh my gosh.
This year has gone so fast and normally, like I know,
(00:46):
I'm one of those people that likes to shop ahead
of time and get my Christmas shopping done. I have
never been so behind in my life. And it gives
me anxiety because honestly, I've got so much to do
and not enough time to do it. Because before we
before we know it, Christmas, Honnick, It's all going to
be here. And then what you know here was hashtag
Thanksgiving can't possibly be next Thursday? Oh my god, it is?
(01:07):
Where the hell did November go? That was from fourteen
hours ago. I'm Twitter, but you're all thinking the same
thing though that Kathleen was saying, Yeah, did you order
your turkey though your tradition? Yeah, I have a tradition
in my house, tradition your mother gets mad sometimes sometimes,
but not anymore. It happens to be the juiciest turkey
I've ever had. I don't know and beyond from my
(01:28):
family on Thanksgiving because I feel like I have the
shortcomings the rest of the year. So I go, I
buy this crazy, super unaffordable turkey because I think that
it's the best thing ever. And it was. It's called
an organic free range Willly bird raised in Sonoma County, California. Bird.
It's the name of the farms that it comes from.
(01:50):
It's very expensive, and it's pre it's pre briant, which
means day Brian it for you. So it's ready. It's
it's ready and raw. All you gotta do is take
shipment up, take ownership of it. It comes, it goes
right in the oven boom. Thanksgiving is three hours later.
I've got a question. This organic free range birds. So
this poor bird is led to believe that he's having
a great, fantastic life and he's eaten what he wants
(02:11):
and he's running around, he's having fun, and then they
come and take it. It's like, I wouldn't it be
better to kill a miserable turkey? It does this one
taste better than galloping through the through the plains of
California and going to one country than they work up
that muscle? Right? Actually? Get is that what I meat?
I would imagine, Well, it's naturally there's no hormones or antibiotics.
It was it was supposed to have led a better life.
(02:32):
I felt the free range aspect that Whole Foods always
promotes is that they weren't kept in cages and that
they weren't treated inhumanelyy is crammed in a chicken coop,
but ultimately you're brining them so well, yeah, but you
don't want the animal to have a shitty life. While
it's no, no, I'm saying that's the free range pot. Yeah,
it's sensible and all that stuff about that. Danielle up.
(02:54):
The other turkeys must just be like and are they
like the other turkeys? Not free range? Shark, he's not
good during Creek ageous you go to your parents house
every year every year. So do you never go to
your girlfriend's family's house, well, because they never have Thanksgiving
together whatever. She doesn't come to your family short holiday
(03:16):
because I have to leave a four o'clock to go
do my Macy's Thanksgiving Day old Square appearance. He just
don't do the holidays with each other's families. We try
and do dessert, and because she wanted to see her
parents and I want to see my parents. It's a
selfish thing for me. In my family, we do every
other I'm an only child, so we we still do
every other year. But the year that we're not doing
with my mom, she has to go to a cousin's house,
(03:37):
which I feel terrible about. But anyway, so on the
years that it's my wife's family, my father in law
rents out the room in this restaurant he likes a lot.
But it's the same restaurant for the past five or
six every other years. So when you said Thanksgiving sneaking
up on you from me, it's like, oh my god,
we're back in that restaurant again. Like I can still
see the pictures on the wall where you pee in
(03:57):
the bathroom of the little kids in the picture peeing,
I'm like, oh and so like wait died two years
ago and it's the same place, Like, oh, here we
are again, and it's a great place, great food. But
it's like I already know where I'm going, what I'm having,
and what the pictures on the wall and the bad
Is that sort of a bummer or is that comforting?
As someone who likes things never to change, I would
(04:18):
think it's comforting. It's not a bummer because I love
the people. I love my wife's family very much. It's
just there's there's there's comfort, but there's also less surprise, Yeah,
for sure. And I just wish they changed the pictures
in the bathroom. I like. I like the comfort of
the sameness. I like going home, and I like seeing
my bedroom the way it was and left, and that
(04:41):
that's what pisces me off. I mean I get there,
I'm like, I walk into my room, my old bedroom,
and there's a fouton where my bed used to be
and all the furnitures rearranged, and I'm like, oh my god,
this isn't home. All of a sudden, I like, I
spend zero time upstairs because the whole upstairs is changed
the mirror is still on the ceiling. But let me
ask you a question. Did you expect you don't live
there anymore? You don't, How do you expectedly? Or would
(05:05):
you want a museum and honor review? It's another selfish thing.
I don't know. I'd like to see my old wallpaper.
They actually took that downpaper. It was like little drummer
boys all through high school and stuff everything. Yeah, never
had a big boy room. To the end, I did,
do you bring girls over to your little drummer because
my brother slept in the next bed. Oh my god,
(05:27):
yeah we shared a room. But the thing, the point
is we look at me like that. I'm just taking
your yes, she did. She was the only girl. Two
boys and a girl. So anyway, the downstairs, the regular,
that part of the house pretty much stays the same.
So there's there's a comfort in the in the familiarity
(05:49):
and the being able to go home. You know, when
they say you can go, you go home to your
open that's home. Once I go upstairs, it's like a
foreign land. Well, my mom in the same place I
was born in until last year, and my room didn't change,
like my posters on the wall, just like kept the
door closed and so the dust settled. You know, she
(06:10):
put some stuff on the shelves. I took my stuff
off the shelves. But because she moved a year ago
and now the entire apartment's gone, like everything, and it
used to be my playground. So now she has a
new place which is much nicer, and some of my
furniture is in the guest bedroom, so it looks like
my room. You still look like because my stame furnitures there.
But there's nothing like there's just like, oh, my family
(06:34):
moved when I was in high school, Like they moved
from out of my childhood home into another home, and
so I didn't really like my childhood home isn't an
option to go back to. So that's kind of nice
because it means that there's none of this nothing is
super loaded with a lot of memories. That's so there's
no mourning that my room is gone, because my room
is gone, right, but the house that you last remembered
(06:55):
moving out of is the one that they still have. Correct, No,
because when my partents, Yeah, so my parents got divorced
after we moved into that new house. So then like
I moved into a new new house with my dad
and my mom moved into an apartment, and then after
that I moved to college, so I don't really have that. Yes,
what are you guys talking about? Tons of my childhood
(07:16):
homes and yeah, going back, scary used to have Little
Drummer Boy a wallpaper on his as a grown up,
as a grown up at home. Yeah, and he's upset
his parents finally changed his room and made something else.
I go to where my bedroom was and there's a
futon lay in there and all the furnitures rearranged, and
I'm kind of upset about that. It's not your room anymore.
It's a selfish thing. I don't know. I want to
be able to go home and relive those old memories.
(07:38):
I kind of missed the Little Drummer Boy wallpaper. He
and his brother shared that room. Elvis knows about that.
He talked about, you don't know what you do to
your brother. You missed a golden opportunity. By the way, well,
the listeners will never hear it because we deleted it.
But before this podcast that you're listening to right now,
we did about eight minutes of the fifteen minute morning
(07:59):
show that was so bad. Bethany said, this is the
worst podcast ever, and we stopped it in the race. No,
we each have that ability to play that card. It
was bad, but we were looking down the hall for
you to come running because it legitimately was the worst.
Separate conversations happening at the same time. And then somebody
wanted to play electric light orchestra music was in here
(08:22):
for that one, and he wanted to hear EO. Nobody
in this room now, Tea laughs, He's not here anymore.
Craig's he came in and he wanted to do this
and this, and then we're like, we're analyzing Springsteen lyrics.
A little E l O would sound great, right now,
make a request, don't bring me down. No, no, okay,
(08:42):
So Bethany's about to play your card again to start.
You're going to start the podcast the last one. Yeah,
we needed you to come in at that point and say,
this is the worst podcast ever. We all would have
said we agree. And how old were you when your
parents turned your room over? Uh? God, it was like
ten minutes after I moved out. They turned it into
(09:03):
like an official guest bedroom. Your wallpaper up there? No, no,
you you got a spring clean. I didn't have wallpaper.
You didn't have little drummer boy wall. No, I didn't.
But I feel like I missed out on that. I
had a cork wall that was big when I was
Did they soak it? No? My room stayed on touched
for twenty four years after. Because they're an only child
(09:23):
and your mother loves you. Yeah, why wouldn't, Mater, I
could have twenty children in my family, she'd still love
me the most. So, Bethany, what about when you go home?
Is there anything from your childhood that's still waiting for
you know, we're talking about it right before you came
in My my parents moved, the whole family moved to
a different house, and then and then my pants split up,
so then we didn't have there. We didn't really have
a child at home anymore. So it's nice because there's
(09:45):
none of these like why did you change my room
conversations because my room is someone else? Because I don't.
We moved up state, like I think, I shut up.
I think I lived there for like a year and
then we doubt. But I was like getting into you know,
I was in college areas. I mean, I tell you
something that happened to a friend of mine. It's something
you've heard of in stories, but never you never thought
(10:09):
it would be true. He and his parents did not
get along. He would go visit them for holidays and
they would barely speak, and it was always uncomfortable. He
went off to college. First semester. He went home for Saintsgiving.
He thought that everything was on. He got home, they
had moved and didn't tell him. This is one of
(10:30):
the stories. You know, you hear jokingly people say, my
parents moved away and didn't tell me where they went.
They really did that. He went home and there was
the house was empty. He walked in and all the
furniture was gone, all of his memories, his childhood bedroom
was all gone. I mean he had to go through
relatives to track down his parents. They had moved to Florida,
(10:50):
messed up well, And it tells you how you know
they weren't that closed. They just forget about him. I
don't think they liked him. How can you like a
child is put into your arms after you give birth
to them and one day you just don't talk Today, well,
I know by the time he went off to college,
there were many years of problems. My parents keep telling
me Danny when we go, you're gonna have to clean
(11:15):
out of this house. So I keep telling them, well,
then why don't you do it ahead of time, because
I don't have to worry about it. But they don't
want to have to worry about it exactly. They don't
want they don't want to worry about it. They want
me to worry about it and have to go through
all the ship when they go. Ye, you think there's
any chance you find something really embarrassing? I hope not.
There might be, but I hope not. Could you imagine here?
I can't imagine your parents? That is the whole your
(11:36):
parents either. Tony had this whole lot of life that
today it is a box in the closet with an
ex on it thrown out. Don't look inside whatever hopefully
found my father's pot paraphernalia like years ago. Wow, way
to keep that a secret. I come from the genteel South,
(11:59):
where it's all about living a life of denial. So
no matter how crazy your family is, no matter how
many skeletons do you have in the closet, you'll never
really hear the full story, because like I hear bits
and pieces of things stories about my great grandfather. This
and the things that are just not talked about, and
so you don't speak about uncle. I want to hear
(12:21):
more about that Tony Bennett possibly being your father's story. Well, no,
there is. It was. Your mom and dad are gone now,
so they're not here to say, yeah, your native this.
There are rumors that my mother and Tony Bennett had
a thing. Yeah, close to your birth Well you're not
telling believe what you want. It doesn't explain why you
(12:43):
like Lady Gaga so much. I love her, I adore her.
Have you ever met Tony Bennett? Yeah, no, I've interviewed
him many times. Did you ever say this to him?
Did you say? I did? Put my mother on the
phone to talk to him during the interview, and she
told a story about one time they were in La Vegas.
She says they remember meeting each other, that they admitted
(13:04):
to knowing each other and my father as well. But
my mother says the first time she saw him, she
was looking for the restroom at that Caesar's Palace and
she went up to the major d who was wearing
a tuxedo, and asked where the ladies room was, and
it was Tony Bennett. And that's how they met they
did they ever hang out in San Francisco? Okay, because
if they did, I'm wondering if that song that he
(13:25):
made I Left my Heart in San Francisco would be
about about my mom? Can we get him on the
shelf so you get his DNA off a cup? No,
we're not going to start testing and see if I'm
and me and Tony Bennett cup your Italian cup ancestry
dot com. Yeah, what if your part Italian? That would
explain while you like Alex and Lady Gaga, it all
(13:47):
makes sense. Oh my gosh, how much time is left
on this good one minute? Come on, let's start it over.
This is an awful podcast. This is the worst podcast ever.
Let's spitting a cup. Garrett just got here, all right,
you go first. You don't even know why we're talking
spitting the cup. Alec Baldwin plays Tony Benn on s
and Alec Alex Wait a minute minute, I've got heartburn.
(14:08):
Have you go find a tons goodbye? Yeah, I'm coming,
I'm coming. How Elvis's father's Tony Bennett. That's why am
I not Tony Bennett? Head Sex at the Fountain Blue.
I think that's what I'm hearing. I think, at the
very least he wrote a song about Elvis's mom, and
he's got millions of songs. This gotta be one of them.
(14:30):
She was a great dame. There's no way to unprove it. Now.
Maybe that's why they named him Elvis, because this whole
show business angle. The only way to unprove it if
they both spit, and we didn't spit. She can't, but
but Elvis and him. Somebody got that. I did. You
can't even hear you. I said, Elvis doesn't spit. Garret's
the lucky one, by the way, him this awesome podcast.
(14:53):
You shouldn't have heard the one before this fifteen minute
morning show m
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Elvis Represents. Now you're saying this because I tweeted that yesterday,
or does everyone have the same thing in mind? What

We moved up state, like I think, I shut up.
I think I lived there for like a year and
then we doubt. But I was like getting into you know,
I was in college areas. I mean, I tell you
something that happened to a friend of mine. It's something
you've heard of in stories, but never you never thought
(10:09):
it would be true. He and his parents did not
get along. He would go visit them for holidays and
they would barely speak, and it was always uncomfortable. He
went off to college. First semester. He went home for Saintsgiving.
He thought that everything was on. He got home, they
had moved and didn't tell him. This is one of
(10:30):
the stories. You know, you hear jokingly people say, my
parents moved away and didn't tell me where they went.
They really did that. He went home and there was
the house was empty. He walked in and all the
furniture was gone, all of his memories, his childhood bedroom
was all gone. I mean he had to go through
relatives to track down his parents. They had moved to Florida,
(10:50):
messed up well, And it tells you how you know
they weren't that closed. They just forget about him. I
don't think they liked him. How can you like a
child is put into your arms after you give birth
to them and one day you just don't talk Today, well,
I know by the time he went off to college,
there were many years of problems. My parents keep telling
me Danny when we go, you're gonna have to clean
(11:15):
out of this house. So I keep telling them, well,
then why don't you do it ahead of time, because
I don't have to worry about it. But they don't
want to have to worry about it exactly. They don't
want they don't want to worry about it. They want
me to worry about it and have to go through
all the ship when they go. Ye, you think there's
any chance you find something really embarrassing? I hope not.
There might be, but I hope not. Could you imagine here?
I can't imagine your parents? That is the whole your
(11:36):
parents either. Tony had this whole lot of life that
today it is a box in the closet with an
ex on it thrown out. Don't look inside whatever hopefully
found my father's pot paraphernalia like years ago. Wow, way
to keep that a secret. I come from the genteel South,
(11:59):
where it's all about living a life of denial. So
no matter how crazy your family is, no matter how
many skeletons do you have in the closet, you'll never
really hear the full story, because like I hear bits
and pieces of things stories about my great grandfather. This
and the things that are just not talked about, and
so you don't speak about uncle. I want to hear
(12:21):
more about that Tony Bennett possibly being your father's story. Well, no,
there is. It was. Your mom and dad are gone now,
so they're not here to say, yeah, your native this.
There are rumors that my mother and Tony Bennett had
a thing. Yeah, close to your birth Well you're not
telling believe what you want. It doesn't explain why you
(12:43):
like Lady Gaga so much. I love her, I adore her.
Have you ever met Tony Bennett? Yeah, no, I've interviewed
him many times. Did you ever say this to him?
Did you say? I did? Put my mother on the
phone to talk to him during the interview, and she
told a story about one time they were in La Vegas.
She says they remember meeting each other, that they admitted
(13:04):
to knowing each other and my father as well. But
my mother says the first time she saw him, she
was looking for the restroom at that Caesar's Palace and
she went up to the major d who was wearing
a tuxedo, and asked where the ladies room was, and
it was Tony Bennett. And that's how they met they
did they ever hang out in San Francisco? Okay, because
if they did, I'm wondering if that song that he
(13:25):
made I Left my Heart in San Francisco would be
about about my mom? Can we get him on the
shelf so you get his DNA off a cup? No,
we're not going to start testing and see if I'm
and me and Tony Bennett cup your Italian cup ancestry
dot com. Yeah, what if your part Italian? That would
explain while you like Alex and Lady Gaga, it all
(13:47):
makes sense. Oh my gosh, how much time is left
on this good one minute? Come on, let's start it over.
This is an awful podcast. This is the worst podcast ever.
Let's spitting a cup. Garrett just got here, all right,
you go first. You don't even know why we're talking
spitting the cup. Alec Baldwin plays Tony Benn on s
and Alec Alex Wait a minute minute, I've got heartburn.
(14:08):
Have you go find a tons goodbye? Yeah, I'm coming,
I'm coming. How Elvis's father's Tony Bennett. That's why am
I not Tony Bennett? Head Sex at the Fountain Blue.
I think that's what I'm hearing. I think, at the
very least he wrote a song about Elvis's mom, and
he's got millions of songs. This gotta be one of them.
(14:30):
She was a great dame. There's no way to unprove it. Now.
Maybe that's why they named him Elvis, because this whole
show business angle. The only way to unprove it if
they both spit, and we didn't spit. She can't, but
but Elvis and him. Somebody got that. I did. You
can't even hear you. I said, Elvis doesn't spit. Garret's
the lucky one, by the way, him this awesome podcast.
