Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast Firms?
And I was loving my Twitter yesterday because we got
so much response, a lot of feedback from yesterday's role
playing on the fifteen minute morning show podcast. Yes, people

(00:24):
like that, They really like that stuff. Is that what
they want to hear more of? I don't know if
that was a one day you were going to re
enact me because I wasn't here and I didn't have
to listen to Kanye Bethany and Danielle for that. Scary
had a great topic. He had a problem in a restaurant,
much like I always do. He had a problem. It
was my turn, and so to recreate how it went down.
Danielle played the waitress. Bethany played his girlfriend who wanted

(00:46):
to leave the restaurant to have sex with Scary right away,
so merely acting, and I played the manager who was
no help to him right, and I played right and
I played me with the problem, and we went through
a scene and it was awesome. It was we We
spent like a good ten minutes on it, and I'm
thinking in my head, oh my god, this is so boring,
this is so boring, this is awful. And then all
throughout the day yesterday people were tweeting, oh my god,

(01:07):
that was the best podcast evers. Because you had a problem.
We you couldn't solve the problem in real life, so
we might have just play around with it and acted
out how Yeah, if you were to face that problem again,
how would you solve that problem? That's true. So so
I'm thinking maybe from here on, how all we do
is role play on the podcast? Who do you want
to be today? What's today's issue? And then we can

(01:30):
act it out. You don't want to ruin a good thing? Yeah,
I think it's not an everyday thing. No, it's like
you do it once a month and people go, oh,
they did the thing again. I liked if Fallon did
History of Rap with Justin Timberlake every day for five
days a week, bad example, I'd watch it. Yeah, if
you did thank you notes every night, I don't think

(01:52):
they could come up with enough. Like they're stretching thank
you notes at this point. I love Jimmy, but his
like he's doing it like throw away at this point. Yeah,
he couldn't do five days because there's stuff we do
on our show that you obviously can't do every day.
The match game I mean, I know, I mean probably
at one point, you guys have been doing a match
game for what twenty years now, probably, and I know
probably at one point you're like, oh god, I got

(02:13):
so many great match games and now, well, here's only
so many blanks you can fill in. When we when
we started doing match game back in the whatever, nineties whatever, um,
I would watch episodes on the Game show Network. We
bought the DVD, we bought the board game. I still
have them, and we would just take the questions and
I would take pick the ones that made sense for us,
where I would tweak them. But after a while, I've

(02:36):
gone through all of the ones I thought were good,
and now I I pretty much right originals, although Alec
Baldwin's now the host, and I'm able to take some
that makes sense for us from there. Yeah, I find
very funny. Yeah, but five days a week is is
difficult to do as a one man person who has
other things to do. It's a difficult thing. And besides,
I think people like it because it's special exactly right. Yeah,

(02:57):
a lot of stuff on our show flushed the format.
You do that every day, people who are gone the
format every day. It becomes the format. Yeah, exactly, Well,
people are requesting it every day. Yeah, we did it yesterday,
do it again today? No, No, we're not too much
of a good thing, right. I think if they heard
it a second day, that's one thing. But if they
hear it every day, five days a week at the city,
well then that becomes the format and then flushing the

(03:19):
format will be playing just hits. But they hear Greg
T five days a week. I'm sorry, he's a one
trick pony. No, I think we Wow, that was scary Jones.
You know you have nothing to say it was No,
it was Daniel mcnarra. There's a role playing right there.

(03:41):
That is funny. Greg T. You know we uh. There's
times where Greg wants to be on the show, but
for whatever reason, there's really no point for Greg to
be on the show that day, righty thurday. Maybe he
did something big the day before, so he schedules himself.
Or he'll give us the excuse, won't. You don't give
Daniello break? Like, why why would you give me a break? Well,

(04:02):
you're a different kind of spice in the stew that
we're creating. Right, Wait a second, used the ghost pepper?
Wait you view the show as a stew Yes, there's
all little ingredients. Man, we don't have you on every day.
We don't have Brody Brody your bit today with Johnny magic, brilliant.
We can't do that every day though. What spice is
Brody Brodie's bitter as ship passover feast. But you know what,

(04:28):
that's a good point. I think for me, if I'm
going to be that character and that angle in in
little amounts, it hits, It hits perfectly, and it's great
get and get out and like, oh, man, Brody was
on last week. But if I think I complained every day,
They're like, oh, he's complaining again. So I'm refreshing in spurts. Yes, right, okay, um,

(04:52):
But Danielle and Bethany are the chili there, the meat
and the chili. You need them to make the chick.
So listen. So you guys, I don't know ran to
throw this out here. I don't know because a couple
of days ago, well obviously the last couple of days.
The running theme is that you know, Brodie's Larry David
from Curb Enthusiasm, and we've been just reminiscing about, you know,
episodes in the studio, but real life scenario. Okay, because

(05:12):
this happened and I was mentioned it and it was
on an episode on the plane I saw a couple
of weeks ago. What would you what would you do
if you you hang out with somebody? You don't really
hang out with somebody in New York. Right, Let's say
you where you're going on vacation, Mexico City. Okay, you
running that person in Mexico City. You feel obligated to

(05:32):
like have dinner with that person in Mexico City because
because he's like, oh, we're both here, we might as
well just like get together because we're here. In the
episode when we just say with Larry David did he
got angry because it get Larry David never hung out
with this guy in Los Angeles and they both Larry
David was visiting New York in this episode and he
ran into his buddy in New York and the guys,

(05:53):
come on, let's have launch. Because no, he goes, and
he still told him to his face and he started screaming,
much like the way Brody does. He's like, no, we
don't have a lunch in Los Angeles. We knew each other,
We know each other for years, but now you want
to have lunch and I'm not gonna have lunch with you.
Well no, and I agree with that because if I'm
on vacation, I got my own stuff planned. I'm not
gonna stop what I'm doing if you hang out with someone.

(06:16):
If you're hanging out, like I met one of my
friends in Nashville, Okay, an old intern of ours, right,
never really had anything in common with her here. What
was her name? Casey? She was she interned. Casey was
an intern here, and we somehow wound up having brunch
together because bald freak Ronnie was like, Hey, I'm I
called intern Casey. She lives, she lives here in Nashville. Now,

(06:40):
she's the intern for the show. So I went, we
went to runs together, and I was just like, um,
I'll never see you again. Yeah, you guys remember Casey, right,
k C. I a Casey, Course of course you do. Yeah.
She she was Ronnie's production intern. Yeah, she's she's relatives
of some of our big bosses here in the company. Right,
She's a sweetheart, I said. But the point is you

(07:01):
would never normally, you wouldn't have lunch with somebody that
you didn't hang out with in one area, but you
go on vacation all of a sudden, it's is it
an awkward thing to have brunch? I have that problem
because we're on the radio, so people know where we're going.
I have people that I went to school with and
worked with twenty years ago who live in Miami. And
there was someone who lived in who lives in l A.

(07:22):
And we went to l A last like a month ago,
and they heard on the show or on social and
they're like, Oh, you gotta um five minutes from your hotel.
And I'm like, I have not seen you in twenty
years for good reason, just because I'm there. And they're like, oh,
we got I was like my schedule, I'm crazy. They
got me going left and right every minute from five
in the morning. With the time difference, I'm gonna be exhausted.

(07:43):
But people think because you're oh, you're gonna be in
Miami if you were, if you were on my block,
I wouldn't call you, like why should be hanging out?
What is it about going to another place? The familiarity
and coincidence of it that they feel like, Oh, when
are we gonna get a chance to do this? And
I'm thinking, why do we need a chance to do this?

(08:04):
Said in this episode, he like he was blunt with
the guy, and the guy was like, piste off. It's
like my mom. She'll say, oh it so she has
cousins who have kids, so technically they're like my second cousins.
And I'm gonna make up a name. She'll say, oh,
it's Ed's birthday today, or you know what, Ed's gonna
be in your area for a wedding. You should give
McCall some mom. I haven't seen Ed since I'm nine,

(08:26):
but he's your cousin. That doesn't mean anything. The fact
that our great great great grandparents are the same means nothing.
I don't know him. He's ten years older than me,
he lived in another state growing up. We have nothing
get common except maybe chromosomes coincidents at a wedding, Like
two block he's staying at the hotel right up the

(08:46):
street from you. I don't like him, but he's your cousin.
I don't care. I think it's easier to tell someone
via text ore social media, Hey no, I'm sorry a
little busy, But if they come face to face with you,
you kind of feel guilty telling them to their face,
and then you end up going on that awkward dinner
or lunch and not saying anything and doing that. So

(09:09):
what you've been doing since HI school and then you
ended with this was so great, we gotta do it again,
Gotta do it again. Yeah, okay, So I went to Chicago.
I'm never going to Los Angeles again, okay, because I can't.
I went to Chicago and um uh an old assistant
who used to work here several years ago. He lives
in Chicago now, and Jonathan I found out that. I was, oh,

(09:33):
Tom's all this. He's like, hey man, when you're down,
we just get together. And I'm like, did you ever
hang out with him? And did you ever hang out
with him here? I never hung out with him here,
So I didn't feel but I felt bad because I'm
like that I didn't make time for the guy for
just like a drink, because no, no, don't feel guilt.

(09:53):
You're doing something you don't want to do. You never
made time for you for a drink when he worked
here for three years, And I felt bad. Our friend
Zina earns, I'll live in Chicago as well, and I'm
like saying, I would have made time for zena I
feel guilty. I wanted to. But the point is, it's like,
I guess there's something about being in that foreign place
together which makes it like all rules and all bets

(10:15):
a row. But there's also the work friend that's friends
with you or your friends with them because you work together.
But then when you don't work with them for two years,
are you really their friend? Like I'm not not Zena,
but other people you work with them, you're friendly, hung out.
But like if let's say, if Garrett leaves tomorrow, are
you gonna hang out with Garrett? Three is from now?

(10:35):
I'm convinced once you leave this place, we're never seeing
each other. Stop it. Don't want to go first what
he is? Like? What ex member of this Morning Shoe
have you hung out with since they left? Exactly? Whatever?

(10:56):
The day? Come called Carla, Marie and Anthony. I don't
go with them still in the company's still and you
and then we exchange ideas, we're still talking to them.
You know what if calum releaves radio, she's dead to you.
When John Bell turned to eighty, I went, I had
I had lunched at dinner, lunch, dinner, meet Gregg T
and Daniel got together and we had dinner with him.
Was that the Hey, we should have dinner together. The

(11:18):
guy turned and he's a great guy. But if he
hadn't turned eighty, you weren't calling him. Yeah, seventy nine
eight one, you would have been like whatever, you see
what the interns around? He left here five years ago.
You waited till his eightieth birthday to go. Yeah, we
should probably if it's sad now, you're making me feel
bad about life and people and no, listen, John Bell
is awesome. You should have called him soon. You don't
think that we would hang out if we didn't, if

(11:38):
we weren't here anymore, once or twice maybe if we
were in Chicago at the same time. You know, you know, Brody,
he probably lives in Philly. I'm going to Philly. But
it's true. Our interns do it all the time. The
better that the sooner you come to the realization that
the people that you run into for a short amount

(11:59):
of time are not lifelong people. With the exception of
a few people you become a long term friends, not
ever again. If you there's no way you're going You're
going down to his house in the suburbs to go
hang out with him on a Saturday after after the
show ends. Have you ever been to his house like
three times? He's lived there for ten years in the suburbs. Yes, well,

(12:20):
because he was far away, and you're making an excuse
a time. He is. My rule if you're with someone
that you haven't seen in a while, and at any
point in that meeting, you go, so you shouldn't be
with that person. Wait what if you're out of conversation,
like within five minutes, you go, so, um, what do
you if you have nothing to ask? And then goodbye?

(12:43):
If your conversation, if you have that moment in your conversation,
you should not ever hang out. Or if it's only
reminiscing about when you used to know them, there's nothing there.
Think about college or a high school last day when
you graduated. How many people you're like, Oh, man, you
know we're gonna hang out all We're gonna you know,
we're gonna be friends forever. Right, I think about it,

(13:04):
I could probably name two three at best that maybe
I still text every once in a while or talk
to She would remember we went to that Offspring concert together.
It was at ninety two thousand one. How great was that?
So after after trying to think after high school, after college. Yes,
some of those I only hung out like a handful

(13:24):
of people. And Ronnie's one of them because he works here. Dude,
look back at your yearbook. I look back at my
high school year book, and Matt wrote me a note.
This senior year was so great. I finally have a
best friend. Can't wait to stay friends in college. This
is so great. Blah blah blah, the laughs, the fun
we had in the cafeteria. I can't remember his last name,
don't can't pictures face, and never spoke to him the
next year as a freshman in college. He's dead to me. Yeah,

(13:47):
I think we're lucky if we have two friends in
our life. This is a sad podcastcast. We would hang
out with all those other people that you come across
in life. The moment my first cousin, my first cousin
and moved to Wisconsin, he's dead to me. Don't watch effort.
I can't get on a plane. I I love Wisconsin.

(14:08):
I'm not getting a play right to This conversation is
now being documented and permanent. It's going down in history,
right We're gonna be We're posting it online. We're having
right now. Once one day soon the show is gonna end,
and I'm never gonna see you ever again. We will
never again. So ten years down the road, you might
be listening to this recording and we we might not.

(14:29):
None of us know each other. Who the hell's going
to Erie, Pennsylvania to visit Nate? Not even me. I
haven't seen my parents since I moved through that. I
don't like. I don't like these these things in life.
The scary. Ten years from now, you're gonna come hang
out me and my kids. No, I don't like this.

(14:50):
I don't like. She might be dating one of them,
you know. I go to Chicago fifteen minute morning jelf
