your podcast phone presents Minute Morning Show. This is sort
of unusual on the fifteen minute Morning Show podcast. Every
microphone in the room is open one to three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten microphones. Ten of the most interesting people on the

(01:27):
planet Earth are in this room. Think about to come
in the room. We're gonna bring you in a minute. Now.
Around the room, it's Bethany web Girl, Kathleen, Dave Brody,
and there's Garrett your Ritza. There's Samantha, and there's Danielle
and Scary what's going on? And there's you, Elvis, Duran

(01:47):
Max the dog doesn't get a microphone? All right? I
usually host the show, so I'd rather be a participant.
So someone else needs to take the lead on this mofo.
All right, Gary, do you want to take the lead? No?
Why are you're looking at me for somebody somebody else? Anyways?
How about someone who never takes the lead, like Samantha
your Ritza, Garrett web Girl, Kathleen. You guys never take leads. Garrett,

(02:09):
I was out to dinner the other night, with some
family and friends and Ali. One of the friends was
Ali's cousins, so I really don't know her that well.
Went out to the restaurant, great restaurant. The waiter and
I kind of like hit it off friendly like he
towards the end of the meal, he goes, Hey, here's
my number. Love to hang out with you. Come by,
get a drink, let's just talk about sports whatever. So

(02:32):
after he gives me the number, Ali's Ali's cousin looks
at me. She's single, and she goes, hey, give me
the number. Why he's cute. I wanna I wanna call him?
I'm do Should I give over the number that I
just received before? No? Absolutely, Web Girl Kathleen is the

(02:54):
only one of the ten people who says absolutely give
the number. Really, what kind of guy is going to
be upset that you gave his phone number to a
cute girl? There, there's that, But I haven't even formed
a friendship yet with the guy, so I it's as
if that's my first impression of Hey, you gave me
your number and I already gave it up to someone else, right, Yeah,
like if you guys were already friends and whatever, that's cool,

(03:17):
But you don't know. That's weird. Garrett could call and say, Hey,
I know we just met each other, but one of
the girls at the table once your number, is it
okay if I give it to her. I'm very against
giving away numbers that the person doesn't know you're giving away,
Like someone once did that to me. Were like somebody
that I didn't know asked for my phone number and
so he gave it to them, and it was made

(03:37):
me very, very uncomfortable. Let's go back to what web
girl Kathleen was saying, like, what what guy wouldn't want
his number out there in the Yeah, maybe he's what
if he's a relationship, Well, there could be that, but
I was I was thinking, I don't want to start
off ruining our friends possible friendship by you know, going
behind his back and saying, hey, I'm giving away this. Well,
she can say that she stole it from you. Hey,

(04:00):
I stole your number from Garrett's van, And there's that
lie that I have to live with. How many how
many on the panel have been on the panel, how
many in this room have been burned because you were
in the middle of putting two people together. Yes, I've
definitely been burned. Yeah, yeah, I stay out of that game. Yeah,
there's no way it's going to end well. You you

(04:21):
set me up with my husband. He was he was
supposed to be my husband. There's exceptions to the rule
a time. Okay. I like the idea Elvis of that
you said, of reaching out and saying, hey, I would
love to catch some beers. What do you guys say?
Catching something? Bro, but also just an f y I buddy,
this lady would like your phone number, dude, So what

(04:42):
can we you know? Can I give it to her?
Bra You'd make a great guy, right. I agree with
that that you you call him up and you But
here's my other problem, be honest, heary, help me out here.
What kind of guy is so desperate for friends he's
given his number to customers and arrest on like that
seems a little like this should be to me. There's
always been an invisible wall. You don't dake co workers,

(05:05):
you don't date employees or get like customers in your store.
I think, I think, but like, I'm a great catch.
Garrett's a great guy. But you meet a guy in
a bar, you meet him at at a gym, it
just seems weird to me like, oh you like the nachos. Hey,
I like nachos. Why don't you and I hang out? Bro?
Like it doesn't see, guys don't do that? Why is
that weird? Guys don't I'm telling you, guys don't normally

(05:28):
do that. When you pick up a guy and like,
oh you're my customer, Now you're gonna give a bigger
tip because like it's all about you being cheap and
partially scary. Help me out here. When did you pick
up a waiter? I wouldn't know, but if we're like
bros and I'm short and I'm short on like, you know,
single friends and I have and everyone's a couple, everyone's
a couple. Of these days, I'm like, I need a

(05:49):
new single friend. I'm gonna hang out with this guy.
I might actually attach myself to keep it. We don't
know exactly the conversation that happened between Garrett and that waiter.
I mean, it have just gone down that road where
it just seemed natural to go, hey, you know, we
shouldn't let's get together sometimes exactly exactly like that. We
were just as he was coming out. We were talking.
We were talking about wine, we were talking about I

(06:12):
think the Yankees or something. And then by the end
of the night we were just we found out we
had a lot in common, as if we were like
good friends that never got to meet before. An opportunity
to connect with someone. Can't go to that restaurant again, though,
Why because now your buddy's waiting the table, what kind
of how do you tip them? How do you tip?

(06:34):
I think it's harder to make friends the older you get,
and I think this is part of the reason. Why
is the attitude like guys don't do that, that's weird,
Like just when you were that wasn't a big deal
growing up. Why does it have to be a big
deal now? Can't you just meet someone? This guy could
be the true love of Garrett's friend life. Yeah, especially

(06:57):
especially since we all hang out with our same friends
and we really don't do new things every once in
a while. We do the same things repetitively. So to
have that opportunity to have someone new come into your life,
that's pretty much you know in your wheelhouse of friendship.
I think it's okay to give out a guy's number.
I don't think it's okay to give out a woman's number, though.
If the shoe was on the other foot and it
was reversed. I would be protective of the woman's phone number.

(07:19):
Double standard. I think everyone deserves to be protected by
the way or woman to handle himself. You know that
was totally the women in the room. You're not joking.
You said something really, I want to play the part

(07:40):
of big brother and protect a woman in her phone
number and her profit. He wants to protect you. I
think everyone should be protected men women can also handle themselves.
I in general playing the averages. Men are larger than
women by average, and so if we're talking about like
a guy stalking a woman probably be pretty dangerous. That's

(08:01):
what I'm talking to, overpower her. But I think in
general giving out someone's phone number not the best idea
without because you don't know what their life is all
about wherever they want their phone ringing. Hey, speaking of you,
you brought up a very good point about friends, Samantha
God and I hope none of my friends are listening
to this. I'd like to bring this up on the
Big Show. How many times have you found yourself saying self,

(08:24):
I really want a whole new set of friends. I
am just ready maybe for one or two select friends
in my circle. I need new friends. I need new
ideas coming at me. I need a fresh approach. Because
I brought this up with Alex not so long ago.
I said, God, you know, because we're only with each
other like three or two or three four nights a week.
There are other nights I'm open to go do other things,

(08:46):
like I'd really love to have new friends to go
out with. He's like, what are you talking about. You've
got great friends, And I don't know. I wanted a
new a new pattern in my life. Friends. It spices
it up, I know. Is that offensive? If you're my
friend listening right now, should you be offended? I don't
think so. When I was twenty three, I did a
friend purge. I got rid of all my old friends.
You just do all the friends out of your life.

(09:07):
Them right on my life. They were toxic, and it
was one of the best decisions I've ever made because
I made a whole set of new friends and they're
my they're my soul mates. Wow, there you go. Even
if you're in toxic it's good just to have some
fresh fresh blood. Yeah. Yeah, But it's like being in
a relationship too, because when you first started relationship, you
have those butterflies and oh my god, I can't wait

(09:28):
to see them, can't wait to talk about them. When
you get a new friend, it's exactly the same thing.
It's like, I cannot wait to text them this joke
I just heard. I I want to find out what
they're doing on Thursday night. I wonder if I wonder
what they're doing later on today, maybe that we can
get a goodbye to eat. So you get those same butterflies.
And I've been in a relationship with my wife now
eleven plus years, so to have a new feeling like

(09:50):
that is I think it's cool, a new cave to discover. Yeah,
I have a girl now that I'm just becoming good friends.
But I knew her before, but it was kind of
like casual, and then we realized we had a lot
in common. And now we've been texting each other and
she's out at her beach outse for the summer, so
she's like, hey, you want to come down for the
weekend with the kids, And I was just like, I'm
a great feeling. So I just thought of something about

(10:12):
new friends and Garrett meeting the waiter and becoming friends.
Your Richard told me a story where she wants to
make a new friend at the gym, but it's not
doesn't want to her as a friend. Why do you
want this girl to be your friend? Exactly? Well, I
want her to be my friends so she can teach
me how to like do all her moves. I actually
saw her at the gym yesterday. She's caught, ripped, she's ripped.

(10:33):
Do you want her to be your workout buddy? Yes,
But it's so hard to go up to someone and
just say, hey, can you teach me how to do
I don't know. To me, it's intimidating. Wait a minute,
that's the that's the easiest way to become friends with
him and say, hey, I see you working out and
I don't really know a lot about what you're doing.
How do you do this? What are you doing? It's
a great opening for a conversation, don't you think? Built

(10:54):
in opening line? Yeah, I don't know. It's so scary
to me because they're like in a vulnerable state, like
they're sweating. They have a bitch based on listening to
their music a hundred and then you're like, excuse me,
can you teach me? I don't know, just don't charge
at her or asked them, asked, asked her how she learned,
and she could either tell you who taught her, or
she can start teaching. But she doesn't want to be

(11:16):
friends with this girl outside of the gym, Like if
they hit it off, that's just like, I still don't
want to Like they don't want to hang out, that's okay,
all right, I just want to see her at the gym.
And when we see it's like, judge book my cover.
How do you know you don't want to be friends
with her? You could actually get to know where through
working out and she could be your new best friend.
That's true, But I just don't have the time, I
guess like to like I'm always working and sleeping, and

(11:36):
I'm scared that she'll like, we'll want to hang out,
and then I'm like, oh my god, it's so much
pressure for me. Yeah, you don't want to be the
one who initiates the friendship and then no longer wants
the friendship. Much friendship I think would be like if
you keep it in the in the walls of the gym,
I think you could be fine. So a part time friend. Yeah, yeah,

(11:57):
I'm no, no, no no, I'm not even talking friend, I'm
just saying just you only connect through the workout, working
out Hello, a type booty call. Oh my god, I
have one of those last nights. Everything awesome. If Tinder
had a friendships of the app? Really yeah, but maybe

(12:20):
we should do it just for the gym. You can't
have nice things on the internet that it'll turn very wrong.
It will turn into into sex. You need a spot
an there. I want to squat there too. You want
an app that's just for an app, just for meeting
friends at the gym? You call it Jim Boreea Scary

(12:40):
finds his dates about it. I was about this new
friend thing. It sounds exciting. But to me, what I
like most about my friends is they get me. Like
they know I don't want you to call me on
Saturday morning. They know I don't want vegetables in my food.
They get me when I go to a restaurant, they
know I'm gonna order like. I appreciate that. They oh, hey,
there's a constant Hello. Yeah, but I like that able shoe.
That isn't it Like, isn't it kind of fun to

(13:02):
get to know someone to become the comfortable shoe it's
a little boy. Where my wife and I go out
with couples, Usually she knows the woman first, so I
get to meet the husband's secondhands like, Oh, you're gonna
love Jim. He's great. And I go there hoping that
Jim will be great, but then he turns out he
doesn't like the right baseball team. He's into things I didn't.
Another failure, and I don't have that opportunity to, like,
you know, learn a lot about Jim, and I always

(13:24):
disappointed because he's not like Rob. Like Rob gets me.
Rob likes everything I like. So all your friends like
the same thing you do. Yeah, that's why they'm my friends. Boy,
too much in common is never a good thing, Garrett,
What was that restaurant you went to? He's my friend,
give him my number. I'm fun. The cool thing about

(13:47):
making a new friend is that, especially if they're from
a different background. Like I just made a new friend
and she's completely different nationality, and I'm learning so much
about this other culture, which is so cool. I never
would have learned about it before. And her family dynamic
is completely different. She likes different kinds of foods, like
the basic things were the same on like she's a

(14:07):
nice person, Like she doesn't you know, she's not racist,
But like it's making new friends does sort of like
douche out the old ways of thinking that maybe you're
just really bored of listening to and it's not just
about learning about the other person. That's what it seems like.
But my favorite part about making a new friend is
you kind of have to learn a little bit more
about yourself while you're building this relationship with the Person's

(14:31):
a good point. There's just so many benefits and Brodie,
if you end up not like in the person, just
signing a contract, I know what. I feel like I
could have been out with Rob instead of Jim. Isn't
it funny how it's such a this is the last
day on Earth attitude. I could have been out with Rob,
but I'm like that I got to. I got a
chicken palm when I go to a Tinian restaurant because

(14:51):
I really want the chicken palm and I don't want
to miss out an opportunity, Like I could have a lasagna,
but I like the chicken palms. Like I don't know, Granted,
you should always order what you want, but sometimes we
go to the same restaurant over and over, we always
ordered the same thing because in the back of my mind, well,
what if it all ends tonight at the point that
was the first time you had been to that restaurant. Yeah,
I also can't order a special because if I like it,

(15:12):
they won't have it again. Poor you. I'm just saying
I don't want to get a chatch to it. That's
what they call it, a special. Would you go on
a date with a person if you knew you could
never see them again? Yeah? Fair enough, Yeah, no problem there.
That makes you sad. But I'm sort of a little
bit like that with relationships. What do you mean, like
all relationships end in heartbreak or death. So I'm a

(15:34):
little bit like, oh, I bother because it's like, you
know that either you're going to get your not always
happiness really quick rather room. How many people do you
still are you still friendly with from high school? Go one, one,
eight six one for me that said all they all
die except for one fifteen minute morning show Elf
