Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
Firm represents show about straight and Nate thinks he's a doctor.
As you know, I got I got bitten by a
tick last Sunday, almost a week ago, and then now
(00:24):
today I'm feeling really lethargic. He's like, well, you took
those out of the audics. You don't have anything. Well, no,
I don't. I feel like I'm getting really sleepy. I
think I may have something. You may have malaria from
your Africa trip, and I don't think antibiotics helped. Shoot,
that's right, you did go there, took malaria pills. I'm
going there anyway. I just love how people think they're doctors.
(00:44):
I mean, I think straighten Nate wrote around in an
ambulance for a week when he was a kid. So
now he's a doctor all of a sudden, Where is
straight and Nate? Wait? Wasn't he an e MS guy
for like a week? Did you do you have um
any mark? No? No, there's no marks, no, no, no
tick marks. Did you web md it? No? I mean,
(01:06):
I just you don't know everybody else text my doctor friend. Well,
I'm gonna call my doctor later. But I just I
just like how people who aren't doctors all of a
sudden become experts. You find yourself getting hungry to or
three times a day, Well that I've always done that.
And are you going to the bathroom? Exactly? I'm fine,
I'm fine. But where is here? We are doing the
(01:27):
fifteen minute morning show podcast. Bethany is here, there's Dave Brod,
Greg T the fart Boy, there's a Garrett Danielle is here,
and they're scary Nutt a fire, right, Okay, let's talk
about that. That's what he does do. He puts out fires.
Which fire is he putting out? Now? Greg T? Fire? Okay?
Greg T was memoed via email a corporate email yesterday
(01:53):
and he didn't like what they said in the email,
so he replied all and it went to every manager
and manager's manager and vice president and president of every
division and on a corporation. Great tea going off like
a maniac yesterday. And he claims that he didn't know
everybody was on this email. Can you read it? You
can see he was on. He didn't really. Okay, here's
(02:13):
the thing. So what we're talking about is I didn't
know how the whole thing was shaping up. I didn't
know how this email was coming down from the top down.
You can read and see how many people are on
the chain. I didn't notice it because I was dealing
Scotty b is here because first of all, Greg t
is a reply all person at all times. If someone
(02:37):
sends out what side shirt do you wear? He has
to reply. Also, we all know he wears a long
But then if I reply all, you go off and
yell and yell. And I looked at the recipients so
as I would reply properly. You know, he didn't look
and all caps this is not happening. So what it
was it was a memo about how he does traffic,
(02:58):
the traffic reports in his five AM New York show. Here.
He doesn't like this new thing they want to do
because he hates change. He can't handle change. You don't agree.
You cannot handle change. Wheel already the wheel rolls, there's
but there's there's more ways to roll the fucking wheel.
The problem is at the corporate level, Elvis. They actually
(03:20):
made this decision for all stations in the entire country,
and Greg he wanted to go back to the old way,
just so, he replies all to everyone in the company
where I didn't know. You all suck. I didn't know that, Okay,
so okay, scarce right. I it's now a nationwide change,
but I didn't know that it was a national wide change,
and nobody told me the way. I No, this is
(03:44):
not happening. I'm gonna keep doing it the way that
I'm doing it. So you're wondering, I didn't you wonder
what you said? You wrote it. And so this is
what Nate does. People wonder what straight Nate does. He
really is our walking talking fire extinguished. And I feel
bad for Nate right now. I really do. And I
think that Natus and you're rolling his eyes like like
this is all misunderstanding. But but I I did do it,
(04:07):
and I just didn't mean to do it that way,
but I did blanch. He's got one hope he can
do the celebrity thing and claim his email was hacked.
I wish, And you can't. And by the way, you
can't have nine radio stations cow tow to the one
way that you do. No, I know the And here's
the thing. In the past, sometimes we have an idea
here only at our radio station, and then that idea
(04:29):
goes through and I thought this was one of those
where it was like an idea. One of this is
really about is hitting reply all, and a lot of
people are guilty of it. I know I did it once,
and I can't really say who it went to, but
it went to a very powerful UH movie producer who's
very powerful and very outspoken, and I replied, all in
(04:50):
something I said about him went to him. He saw it.
You remember when that happened, guys, don't you remember that? Spielbergelberg?
That's why you weren't in die Hard four anyway, So
you got to be careful and you reply all. Yes,
this is a lesser you are replying all its reson.
It is what it is now, Elvis. The ironic part
about Gregg Te's email is earlier in the morning, around
(05:11):
five am, Greg t pulled me aside and said, you
know what, I learned something today? What is that? He goes.
I just typed out an email, and before I get sent,
I said, yeah, I'm going to cancel it because it's
going to affect people's lives and I don't want to
do that. I didn't want to anger anybody, and I
feel better for doing that, so so I deleted it.
That's what fast forward to eight am, where he's replying
(05:35):
all in caps with exclamation points, yelling at people. Things changed,
and then what happened was I forgot about that moment
of I won't do that, and then I wrote it.
Then I shouldn't have all. Right, well, anyway, reply all.
We're all guilty of it from time to time. Bethany,
do you have any good reply all? My favorite is
when I worked for a bank, a large okay, yes, um.
(05:57):
One of I worked in a cluster of four women,
and one of the women decided to reply all to
an email saying that there was a job opening within
the company and you know, people within the company were
encouraged to apply. She replied all saying, I'm definitely going
to go for it because I fucking hate this company.
I hate where I work. I want to move up
(06:18):
to a different job. She thought she was sending it
to the hiring manager, not the entire company, including our boss.
She was mysteriously not at work the following she got fired.
I didn't so I didn't write that that. I did
not write. I had nothing to do with that thing.
But very they're very upset at how you conducted yourself
(06:39):
on the reply all. Yes, bro, we were the recipient
of a reply all that shouldn't have been one of
the bosses of our of our show. We all got
an email and it said, we're gonna need some personal
information going forward for your record keeping purposes, and it
was it was a little bit intrusive what was being
asked for. And this person wrote back reply all to
the person who sent that, she thought, if these fucking
(07:02):
people think that they're getting my goddamn information, didn't go
blah blah blah themselves and blah blah blah. And I
was I was, oh my god, that no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah.
And so I'm like, oh, so I've I've seen those.
I've been on the end of it where I knew
right away this person right now. I also had, oh,
(07:22):
we have another one from Wells Fargo. No, this wasn't
from Wells Fargo. This is a different job where they
someone emailed all of us. And then the person replied
all and said something like, Bethany is gonna hate this.
You know how sensitive and horror like and horrible she is,
or you know how over dramatic she is. And I
got it and About thirty seconds later, my phone rang
(07:44):
and uh the person was like, yeah, I'm sorry. Reply
all is the same as when you button dial someone
and you know they heard something they shouldn't have heard,
or you call and you leave a voicemail. How many
times have you been on your phone in your car
and you don't know you answered it? You're like, and
you're in traffic yelling at people. Didn't didn't you hear
a speaker phone? Oh my god, I said, You've been
(08:06):
listening to be yelling at traffic the entire time. Oh
my god. The things I say to people when I'm
buying myself in a car are not good Bye. Butt
dial Garrett constantly, Garrett, I don't know it's weird, but
it's always gaffing. He's either singing, talking to her kids,
or just yelling at people in traffic. Yeah, that happened
to me the other day. I was calling people a
bunch of fucking idiots on the road. I was driving
(08:27):
and then I and I heard this, Hello, Oh my god,
it's my friend Pad. At least you weren't talking crap
about path accidentally. Can we also now address something from
yesterday's fifteen Minute Morning Show podcast and that's scary. Hi,
And now he alters the way he speaks to people, uh,
in hopes that he will merge into their culture. Yes, well,
(08:48):
not necessarily culture, but just environment or wherever we are.
It doesn't have to do with a specific people. It
has to do with where I am and who I'm
talking to. Well, to me, it sounds like it's a
specific people. Well, like if I'm in if if I'm talking,
if I'm giving a speech to a college class, the
specific people that specific people college class, I might actually
(09:08):
try and throw in some jargon, a dialect, a word
or two that might relate to them, Like if I'm
if I'm putting a story on Snapchat, a lot of
people use you know something is you know something af
or you know I'm adult ing or you know people
you know people have a narrative going in that little world,
So I might you be accustomed to that and put
(09:28):
those words. Now, if someone of a different ethnicity walk
through the door, let's say, well we got we got
Charlemagne to come in, Charlemagne from the breakfast club. Would
you turn into like this jive talking street guy to
try to you know, I'm not because I think you
would I'm not trying to emulate or mimic, but I
might change my vocabulary to adjust to be if Charlemagne
(09:55):
walked in right now, what would you say, Hey man,
what's up? Like that? Because that's what I do. Because
but that but with the armed thing, and I might
give you a little backpack, Okay. Whereas if I if
I'm going to like see my friends in Brooklyn, I
might I might be like, hey, guys, yo, what's up?
What are you guys doing? So you talk to me. So,
going back to what I said originally, you do become
(10:18):
that person in the in their culture as you see it.
I kind of want to be assimilate into what's going on.
You think I want to be a chameleon in their world. Okay,
So listen to how he's talking to us. Now, apparently
we are who we are, and he speaks to us
in our crowd like this a bunch of what boring
(10:38):
white people. But that's because we're talking to people on
a podcast. But if if we the mics were off
and I was talking to individually, I would talk to
Danielle differently than the way I talk to Bethany because
I would try and be more I would try, okay,
big words because she's so. You have to go back
and listen to the podcast yesterday because poor Scary kept
(11:00):
trying to explain himself and was digging a hole deeper
and deeper and deeper. And I still am trying to
figure out if what he's saying is I try to
take on your vocabulary, or what he's saying is I
try to sound like you, because trying to sound like
someone may not be appropriate. I think it just tries
to fit in and be cool whatever it is. You
(11:22):
don't talk to Max the same way you talk to us, right,
but Max is a dog, But I've heard you say
Max is a dog. Max Max doesn't even know what
that means. You have to understand something as well, and
I must. You know, we all know that we do
put on a different mask in front of different people,
between your parents and your friends. Isn't that you are
(11:44):
You're You're always you, but you are a different you
in front of all these people. So I'm not saying
it's an awful thing. But if I see Charleman walk
in and all of a sudden, you're like yo yo yo, right,
like I was trying to tell you, Ritzy yesterday because
she was she she approached me. So when I tell
you Richa, hey, look, you don't talk to us here
(12:05):
in the daytime in the office the same way you
talk to your friends when you're getting drunk on a Friday. No,
I think she does. I could be wrong, and we're
having that, we're having that discussion. You're rich to hit
the microphone about how we talked differently in front of
different people. And I was just saying, I believe, and
I've been with we're at someone, we've been in a
drinking and hanging out situation. You're you talked to us
the same now as you do to your friends. When yeah,
(12:29):
go ahead. He said that when I'm drunk with my girls,
I speak differently, and I'm like, you've been there, What
did you say? I said that when I talk to
my mom, of course, and I'm drunk with my mom, obviously,
I'm not gonna be like I'm gonna get dick down, obviously,
But with my friends, I'm gonna be like, girl, you're
getting dicked out. But with my friends, of course, You're
(12:50):
not gonna talk to your mom the same one. You're
not gonna tell your mom you're down that I'm having
sex tonight, like she's not gonna You know what dick
down is? The and is like the point that I
was trying to make yesterday is that you do you
put on a different mask. We all do that to
a certain degree. But it's but you can melt into
(13:11):
something that you already are that certain people bring out. Right,
So when you go to Brooklyn, you are from Brooklyn,
so you become more quote unquote Brooklyn, whereas here you're
also a part of this. You become more whatever this
culture is. But you're not, for example, black. So if
you're talking to be and I would never tell anyone
I want to get dick down, because that's just not me.
(13:33):
But but when you're on Snapchat and you're in a
f or you're using the word savage with with the
little kids, you that's not you either, but you'll do
it to fit in. You said that yesterday, So you're
you're you're you got one way today, one way yesterday.
What the hell is to tell me if this is
offensive or not? Scary doesn't speak other languages, but when
(13:54):
he's around people who he figures speak Spanish, he'll say
things like, Hey, can I get more bread? Before you know,
you do. Yes, and we've gone to restaurants, he'll do that.
He'll go and the waiters like, sure, I'll get your
more water. Like they don't speak, but he just assume
as they do, so he'll he'll speak, yes, you do,
he'll speaking just heard him. Well. My favorite is when
you're around people who don't speak English, you start yelling
(14:16):
at them. Could I oh, I don't forget when he
gets upset when people who look like they don't speak
English do, like, he'll call it a psych out. If
he sees somebody from another culture and like, like, if
he sees an Asian person, he'll like, he thinks they
don't speak English and look at Hi. How are He'll
think they speak with an ax Hi? How are you
welcome to my restaurant? He's like, Oh, that's that's crazy, really,
(14:38):
And I've never understood that you while you say that,
I don't know why I do it, but I would
imagine there are more people that do it than we
can't an explanation. I don't know why. Where you live,
where you're from, your culture, that count of predicts how
you're going to sound, I guess, but you just kind
of assumed because you look at the me judge that
by their cover. The fifteen minute Morning Show off
