Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Fun Presents show. Fine, just don't eat it. Maybe that's
is that the cheese. Don't eat it? Here's the issue.
(00:23):
What's it's the fifteen minute morning Show. I'm Bethany Counterclockwise Broady,
Greg Tea, Garrett, Danielle, Nate Scary. So I bought this
mixed goat cheese salad at Whole Foods yesterday. Sounds delicious.
It is on it right now and I bought it
for like nine dollars like exchange it to it into
work today. Opened it up and I think it seems
(00:46):
like it's turned, but it doesn't. It doesn't look like it,
but it doesn't look like it. And I did want
to eat it. It's aerating. When you open up the thing.
It smells like that broccoli smell like. It smells like
somebody took a ship in the bowl of comad. I
think has opened it up and let that. Don't enjoy yourself.
I think I think goat stands for grossest of all time.
(01:07):
That's a masty It's like a diaper. I love goat cheese,
but I wouldn't eat that. I'm concerned the lettuce turned.
I would take it back. Well, Bethany, what don't you
just like scoop around the salad, see if there's if
it looks bad, somebody somebody you put this. You put
the dressing on it already. I don't think the lettuce
is the problem. There's usually the lettuce that gets soupy smell.
I don't think any because it's just cranberries. And again
(01:35):
Scary said before we got on, Scary said, put on
a white suit with like a mask and everything. The
hose has matted. The hose there. I was gonna say,
as Scary said before the podcast started, I'm sure it's fine.
I ate day old sushi yesterday, as if there's any
correlation and salad I need. It looks a little dry.
But here's what I you could smell it now. What
(01:57):
you're smelling is the blue cheese. But it's not blue
cheese's co cheese. That's maybe it's the problem. It's blue goat.
I think you're okay. I really think at least like
a bite. It's art. No way, it's not anymore. It's
(02:21):
not it's from I never go to the smell. Yeah,
that's it. The salad. I think that's salad turned overnight,
but I bought it at Whole Foods, and I never
go to Whole Foods. There's not even one near me,
so I can't go anywhere to return it because I'm
never going to go to Whole Foods again. It smells
like that. I think it's the lettuce went bad. But
get the dressing in thereat cheese, cranberries and nuts. It
(02:43):
looks delicious, free range lettuce. So it looks good. But
I don't know if they can run around and not
be trapped in a cage. It looks delicious. Did they
eat it? It's just hasn't smelled it. It's bark is
worse than its bit. I just walked in the door
and I can mallet do I still look I'm about
to die. I just had my makeup done and I
(03:04):
overdid it, and so I look like I should be
in the casket. What's so funny? You look like you're
about to pass out? All right? So what were you
guys talking about? I'm sorry, we're talking to try to
get Bethany to either eat the salad or throw it out.
I would throw it out. Well, now I'm hungry. I'll
buy you lunch, darling. Hey, there's no timer. This has
(03:25):
to be fifteen minutes exactly. Okay, that's the time right
there on the machine. Look on the count down it
comes up. Oh my god, we still have eleven and
a half minutes. Well, you guys, I'm gonna sit over here. Whatever.
You go ahead. Well, we're talking about the stinky salad.
Here's the other thing I want to talk about. Four
minutes is there? Yeah, well there's a lot of Well,
we all had to give our opinion. I do have
(03:47):
a question though, So I was showing Brodie before we
went on. I was showing Brodie a picture of my cousin, Elvis.
This is the picture. Now, my cousin it is significantly
taller than me, and I'm wearing heels in this picture,
and he is. He's close to seven ft tall. He's
six nine. Now. The thing about him is that when
he was a little baby, he had open heart surgery,
and so they said that that stunted his growth. Thank god,
(04:10):
I would have been always seven ft tall. So my
question for you is, like, nobody would believe him if
he said his growth had been stunted because he's six nine, right, Um,
is there anything about you that people would not believe
because you don't seem like it. Like there are people
who are crazy, crazy smart who are actually dyslexic, but
(04:30):
no one would believe them because it's like, how did
you get this far? If you have a hard time
reading or writing or whatever, is there something you've overcome
or is there something that would be hard to believe
about you. I'll pause for you to think. Well, like,
for one thing, Elvis, you and I have talked about
we're both really really shy, but people don't believe that
because of the industry were very good point. No, no, no,
(04:51):
I'm I'm an introvert. I'm shy. Yeah, but most of
my stuff, I'm it's out there because I so much
so I don't have any hidden crevices. I don't believe
that for a second. But you know what I know
straight and Nate has a lot of stuff that happened
to him as a kid. And he told me one
night some of these stories, and I cried. I was sad.
(05:12):
I was sad. What you like? Tell him about your
birthdays as a child? This is are you ready to
I shouldn't laugh. I'm laughing because it's so sad. Birthdays
was the worst days. No it would be. We would
always hold birthdays for anybody in our family at my
grandmother's house because she had the big house right that
everybody could gather at. It was the gathering place. So
(05:34):
but the problem was she had a dog, so I
couldn't go in the house because of the dog because
I was very allergic, highly allergic. I'd be in the
house for five seconds and I'd get hives and not
be able to breathe. So I vividly remember hearing at
my birthday party, Happy Birthday being sung in the house
while I was in the garage and everybody else was
(05:58):
around the cake singing have birthday. Do you see why?
It's so sad? It makes me laugh at my question.
Why couldn't everyone one have either joined you in the
garage in January more than you if it's your birthday,
we have the party someplace else? What do you understand
what I mean? But it's so sad it makes me laugh.
It's like it's the saddest story ever. You didn't have
(06:19):
a bad child, But I'd be out there playing with
matchbox cars while they're singing a happy birthday to me
in the kitchen. That's messed up, dude, plains a lot
of your you know, but now the way you are
now is I look at myself, I don't want anybody
to fuss over me, and I realize it's because nobody
ever fussed over me to begin with. Is that explain
why you've shut down all of your emotions? Could it
(06:40):
could be a clue. Yeah, I fear the worst worst
part day ever to Growing up as a diabetic, you
would have ice cream cake and when you would have
kids over for your birthday party, everybody would sing Happy
birthday to you, and then you'd blow out the candles
and normally, uh, the kid who is having the birthday
party would have a slice of his own birthday cake. Well,
since I was a diabetic type one diabet, I would
just blow out the candles and just fade into the
(07:02):
background as all my friends. It's so sad, it makes
it's so said, it makes you laugh. You had friends
get food, No, I would get like a cookie all right.
When I was in the first grade, my birthday was awful.
I came back from lunch after running around like crazy,
and then it was time for like, oh, let's pass
(07:23):
some hostess cupcakes around the class for Scary's birthday, and
I ate one and then I threw up right there.
I got sick right now at my desk, and I
was like mortified because that's a sad moment. But it
was sad, but it makes me laugh. You know what,
as a result, I do not eat Hostess cupcakes? Does
(07:44):
it so good? Specifically those? Did they bring out the
woods after you vomited threw up? Did they break out
the wood saw chips to cover? Buddy? So a similar
cupcake story there was I don't know, let's say, sixteen
kids in the class for my birthday. So I brought
in sixteen cupcakes. But Carmine took two and eight one
(08:06):
really fast and then so he got two of him
and I didn't get a cupcake for my own damn birthday.
Carmines an asshole is an asshole. All the best was
in school, so being a type one diabetic, so when
when kids will bring in these cupcakes? Six seventh grade,
I got a water So all the kids got munchkins
and cupcakes, and I got a nice water too. You know,
(08:28):
water is very good, It's delicious, but not something for
my birthday, yes, but for everyone else's birthday. I wasn't
going to make everyone else bring in something special just
for me, so I just have my birthday water. So
you know, our friend, our friend Stephen Levine is like
this where when he sees something really sad or tragic,
he can't help but laugh. It's this weird way he's wired.
(08:50):
I mean, he can't go to a funeral because he'll
start laughing at the funeral. There's just something about about
sadness that makes him laugh and he doesn't mean, he
doesn't think it's funny, and he's wired. He's programmed that way.
I think it's a nervous reaction times to yeah, yeah,
like I know. But great Tea has told some sad,
sad stories about his childhood and think so but they
(09:14):
are so bad you can't laugh it. Yeah, I mean
because I had, you know, open on this podcast. Okay,
go ahead, talk about Hey, Garrett's diabetic, can you not?
The only story and come up with was when so
all my friends were getting these cool you you Elvis
(09:35):
actually fixed hel was you resolved the situation for me?
But later in life, so all my friends were buying
this bicycle their parents are buying it was called the mongoose.
You even had a mongoose was blue awesome. It was
like the bike to had, you had to have the
mom childhood. So it was my turn. Is my birthday
was don't get a bike? So I said, Dad, please,
let's go. So we went to this this bicycle store
(09:56):
and there was right in front of me the shiny
I couldn't wait. I sat on it and I'm holding
the grips and I'm like, God, look at me on
this bike, like this is it? This is the bike.
And then my dad saw there's other bike next to it.
It was called the Jumper, and he was half the price, right,
half the price. Blue looked just like it. And the
(10:17):
guys and he says, how much this one? And the
guy says, you know, it was a hundred bucks whenever
it was. And then he goes, is it good? He goes,
it's just as good. And I'm like, and I'm on
the drop on the mangers. I like, no, Dad, so happened?
What happened? So he goes, all right, all right, So
we left and then the next day I came home
and in the garage this is a fucking jumper. I
(10:42):
kept my tears on the inside. And he said, he goes,
he's like, let me see ride it, and I'm like okay,
and and the mongers had like freewheel, so like you
can like pedal backwards and the mangers are like back breaks.
I couldn't go anywhere the street. And I'm like this
is great, Dan, And I'm like and I really truly
it affected you for life. I never forgot it. And
(11:03):
then you know what happened a couple of um it
was a couple of years ago for my birthday, Elvis Duran,
you bought me a mongoose. This is this is much
worse than dad. It's who can't afford to buy their
kids any bike? Wow, that was a classic bike. Mike
got stolen out of the fucking shed. No, like, no,
(11:24):
everybody wanted the mongoose. I left home. I just left
home and I moved out. I was in with you,
moved in with you, and I'm like, at one point
I was feeling nostalgic, and I want my mongoose back.
I gotta have it. Hey, ma, what we was the
mongoose with's my bike? Oh yeah, Daddy accidentally left the
shed owen it got stolen. Someone freaking hijacked my mongoose?
Was I wanted it so bad I stole a freaking bike.
(11:47):
Very pissed mongoose. So, Danielle, you've really said You've said
nothing about your tragic childhood. I had a great child
and my brother, you know, did mean things to me
as a kid. But that's normal. But nothing like I
remember one time the neighbor. Okay, this is kind of sad,
the neighbors called me down from a party that I
was fighting. I was fighting with the neighbors, and they said, oh,
(12:07):
come down, we want to hang out. We want to,
you know, have a little party. So I went down
there and instead of having a party, all they did
was want to yell at me and screaming me and
make fun of me. But guess what, my brother was
down there too, yelling at me as well and screaming
at me as well. Because I had a fight with
my brother as well. So yeah, that was a good day.
So you were fighting with everyone, I was fighting with
everyone that day. But yeah, but I got over it.
(12:28):
You know, this one time my dad brought me a
motorcycle for real, and I wanted to Harley Davidson, but
he got me a Szuki. No, he bought me a
motorcycle against my mother's will, and I ended up getting
arrested on this motorcycle. I was cutting it through this
guy's lawn on the motorcycle and the guy jumped out
and he stopped me, and then the cops came. They
impound my motorcycle. When we got it out of in pound,
(12:49):
my mother made me sell it. So then I really
never had a but I never had Well, that's where
you can go to the dirt pits where you wanted
to ride the bike, but instead of going around, it
was easier to cut through the guy's lawn were so
I go around. You're right when you can just drive
through someone too long? He was waiting for us because
you're coming. Have you ever done this where you know
that you have a fault of some sort and then
(13:11):
you can actually uh huh, you can trace it back
to something that happened to you as a kid. Of course,
it doesn't make it go away. It does make you
understand yourself a little better. Yeah, I I have a
lot of those. Let's talk about one. No, you know
what fitting in? I never fit in as a kid, never,
you know, I had friends who were athletes and you
(13:31):
know in boy scouts. They always did the boy scout things,
and I was I didn't want to do that, and
so I was just a loner. I was a loner kid.
I mean I had one or two good friends here
and there, so I was not all alone all the time.
But you know, I was always alone growing up. I
always felt comfortable because I could be me on my own.
I didn't have to pretend to be into sports, which
(13:51):
I sucked at, you know, so I can see how
that's affected me now how I've grown up. Like when
I'm home alone, I love it because I don't have
to be on I don't have to tap dance for anyone.
It's just me. I'm comfortable with me and not with
anyone else. I would have tried to be your friend.
I really would have. I always found the kids that
didn't have friends. But you would have. You would have
(14:12):
been the bully. Yeah, you would have. I'm telling you.
I really was never because I got my ass kicked
at home we're out. So when I got to school,
I was always trying to find the kids that were bullied,
and I became their friend. I swear you did have
a thing you had. You had a problem with gay guys.
You told me that, Yes, you did when I was
in a fraternity house. That was a long time ago,
A long story. Oh really, do you care to give details?
(14:34):
You know, you're a guy you don't really know, and
that's not doing anything. I don't even know where we're
going with this comp less of years. Yeah, so much
way so here. It's always good to look back on
those things you just kind of shrug off when you
were a kid. How did it affect you? How did
it affect you now that you're an adult? Yeah, I
would have been your friend. This has been the biggest
downer of a podcast ever. Fifteen minute morning show
