(01:05):
on your on your podcast Firm Elvis Present Morning Show?
Do you remember when we first started the podcast? Was
about a year ago. There was about a year ago
host a year ago actually over a year ago I think,
and we started it and we were really excited to

(01:26):
do it. Every day we would come in here, and
then after about a month we looked at each other
and would say, we have to do the podcast. Yeah,
remember that. But now I think we're back on the
up swing. I'm enjoying these. It really is like the
circle of life. They're the guy who walks out on
him on Friday. Yeah, you look very excuse to cancel

(01:49):
them on Fridays. I don't know how much Fridays. I
think day before vacation, which I will. By the way,
I agree with you on that one, Thank you very much.
Scary you do come in late to a lot of them.
I do, and you're no show in others. Sometimes you
sit there and don't talk. Well, okay, you want to do.
That's why he loves What would it be like if
you didn't like him? Do you want to do the
first ever Elvis Durand in the Morning Show or Elvis

(02:11):
duran Presents the fifteen Minute Morning Show Awards show? Let's
do that. I'm gonna give the Longevity Award. Hello, Hello,
way do Let's get some music. Okay, but this sentence
and the production Hell, I gotta get get this in here,
hold on royal fanfare. No, no, you could take up
a little bit more time. That would eat the award

(02:32):
for best time killing. I'm gonna give the award for
best Attendants. Who's scary Jones? He can't leave? You know
what acceptance? You know, technically, in years past, back in
the day, in any studio we've ever been in, when

(02:54):
the show was over, that studio became my workspace because
I never really wanted to office, because my workspace is
in a production studio. Just so happens that when the
Melvist Ranch show ends, well, you guys are my fucking
work space. So I'm sorry, let me get out of
where I kind of like linger. This is where I hang,

(03:15):
so this is my home base. So I don't really
deserve this award, Nate. This is like giving an attendance
award to the Empire State Building for being in New York.
He follow you, guys, you know well that I mean.
It's like I have nowhere to go fund the award. Okay,
let me let me do everydo on that be a
gracious winner, Nate. You can throw it back. You can
throw it back. I like it. You listen. I don't

(03:37):
want to have to do things. I don't want to
have to do either. That's fine. OA. So instead of
the attendance award, you get the award for not leaving.
How about the award for Scary Jones, who hasn't walked
out of a podcast and he was that we started
around him. The award for I will take it. I will.
I accept this award. Thank you so much. Thank you

(03:57):
to the Academy and the music already playing. If you
have an award, please award that person. I'm going to
give the award for most witty member to David Brody.
I was about to say something witty about the fact
that I've been to his many podcasts. Scary you gave
him the award anyway, and he doesn't even want it.

(04:17):
And I was sitting here going please pick me award.
I just showed up award yours? Actually did? I actually
walked back into the studio, as does Garrett. You know
del Carnegie that says half the battle is showing up
or something, but he doesn't say the other half of
the battle is just being here when it happens around you. Scary,
that's one of my witty comments that I just won
an award for Thank you very Scary got the award.

(04:40):
All the kids are getting in school, that participation awards.
So Scary got the Yeah, he got a trophy for
finishing ninth Right, who gets the award for um least attendance?
Maybe maybe it's not an award. He never comes to this.
He's still him more than Elvis, although Elvis did two

(05:00):
in a row this week, which he never does. What
September and he doesn't listen to them? So we can
talk about it. I know what you guys, what'd you
guys talk you know what? At the beginning it says
what would you talk about on the podcast? It should
say what did you guys talk about in the podcast?
He doesn't listen. We'll come in the next day, we'll
go help us. Did you hear the thing we talked
about on the podcast we should bring into the big show?
What thing? You know? The thing where we talked about

(05:20):
think uh I was I couldn't have a chance yesterday
was out at the time it was airing. That was
just a podcast. You can hear it any time. Very
long dentist appointment. I would like to I like to
give an award actually for the person who does the
most work behind the scenes in fighting for the podcast,

(05:44):
to fight for the podcast. Here's here's why he gets
that award. Okay, And it's because we're available everywhere. Now.

I don't even know their names are in this company.
And you know, you always make sure that we have
proper placement. You've got a sponsorship. Yeah, not that we
get not that we're getting paid. It varies from day
like today, Harry's Harry, and we've had blue Apron like Hero.

(06:31):
People don't know about. This is the stuff we don't talk.
We just broke the fourth wall and they say, thank you, scary.

the new updates will be that you'll be able to
subscribe to the podcast through I Heart Radio. Now are

(07:14):
all the podcast on iTunes? They're slowly getting there. Yes,
Walkers and Talkers is still exclusive to I Heart Radio.
We haven't worked out the deal yet to get me
Brodie's lawyer. Brodie's lawyer is being very bullish. Plus I'm
an Android user, so there's some pushbacks on the fair show.
We do have the president of podcasting, Chris Peterson, making
an appearance on our our one of your when your

(07:37):
anniversary of the off Our show. So Chris Peterson has
a huge announcement. So I'm guessing it's going to be
something that's a big heard it here first listening to
the show podcast, a mistake was listening to it on
purpose and other than a lot of the arguing that

(07:58):
goes on on the podcast, it was an it's actually
very good podcast. Um, you're announcing that there's like a
major something that's going to happen on Monday for your
exactly Chris Peterson. Chris Peterson is coming in or calling
in wherever you don't need to listen. Chris Peterson's a
bicoastal guy. So what are they telling you? We don't know.
I don't know. He's got an announcement for us, so

(08:19):
who knows. Maybe he's canceling the podcast. Have you guys
going back and listen to your first podcast? Not yet?
Is that a good exercise? So when I was when
I started in radio. What I would do. I would
do a Sunday or Saturday shift once a week, and
then I would go to school during the week, and
then I go back and do another Sunday or Saturday
shift or whatever. So on the way home from doing

(08:41):
that shift, I would listen to my air check tape
and I'm like, oh, man, I kicked ass. I talked
up that Eiffel six records and posted it. Okay, I
didn't say so. Then on the way to work the
next week, I would listen to the same tape and God,
I suck. I can't believe, like this is awful. So
if you go back, can you listen to the first one?
You'll probably say to yourself. God, if I had the

(09:04):
permanent Friday night overnight shifted ZE one hundred when I
first started, And I have some of my old tapes,
and I wonder I used to do exactly what you did.
I would sit in the car and I would critique them.
I would listen to it on cassette tape. Back in
the day, we had cassettes, and I had a cassette
player in my car. Cassette is people have seen them,
You've seen them. On t shirts and online on nostalgia sites.

(09:26):
But long story short, Uh, those those air check we
call them air check tapes. They helped shape me, and
now I haven't listened to them in like at least
ten years. I kind of want to go back now
and listen to those. Oh my god, I'm kind of
afraid now that I think about it now. So speaking
of of air check tapes, I did one shift on
Z one D New York, just one. I asked the

(09:46):
boss at the time if I could do it, and
the way to record it. Back then, there were two
studios one and two, and they were across from each other's.
You could look from one into the other studio. So
I had to run the audio from where I was
doing this show in Studio one into Studio two and
have it record into pro Tools, which is the digital
software that records the audio, so I would have it.

(10:08):
I wanted a good copy of it. I was very
excited my first and only shift on the radio. And
you have to put all the switches up in the
every they has to be said a certain way. So
I did an overnight which was at that time, I
think twelve to five midnight to five at twelve thirty,
Scary and his friends show up to the radio station.

(10:30):
It was a Saturday night. They're all drunk off their ass.
Hey what are you doing the radio? I said, Hey man,
it's my first shift. Could you just not make me
nervous and leave? Because I you know, oh yes, I
mean shot you guys around. And I ignore him because
I'm so nervous. I'm focused on my microphone and what
I have to say, and the and the and the
plane was flying over the beaches with free money and everything.

(10:52):
That free money z plane whatever it was, party, whatever
it was. It had like the letters behind it over
the beach. You've seen those planes. And I had these
things I had to say. And then so my he leaves,
He staggers out and he leaves, and I at my
shift ends at five am. I'm exhausted, and I go,
I gotta go get my audio now and listen to

(11:14):
this and the piece of history forever well. Part of
Scary's tour was going in the other studio, turning everything
off and showing everybody how he could play music through
the speakers that were in the ceiling. And so I
have like three minutes of my shift on tape, and
nothing else because he turned everything off. I'm rather than

(11:37):
feel sorry. Whenever I tell the story, I goes, oh, man,
that's so funny. I was sound up that day. We're
coming back from a club. We're like, I don't know
what the hell is going on. Hey, guys, letna take
a look at the studios. Hey, why is this button on?
I'm you're supposed to rule number one radio guys. You
supposed everything off. He supposed to down here, and they

(11:59):
had this fader up with this light on. Sorry, in
a normal radio station at twelve two o'clock in the morning,
it's a ghost town. When you hear your DJ's on
at the middle of the night, they're the only person there.
Their jobs to make coffee for the morning show. When
they come in, that's it. No, you don't see anybody,
You're done. He walked in like, oh, this is weird.

(12:23):
No one's ever here at this time, and and he
and his three friends just yeah, they left empty beer
bottles in the studio and and erased everything, turned everything off,
and I have nothing. I think you have to do
another shift, Brodie. Yeah, it's only been sixteen years, I
think since the bald freak Ronnie was around right now.
He has a hilarious story about running on New Year's Eve.

(12:46):
It always involves liquor. Every time it was New Year's
Eve and Ronnie was the board operator at the radio
station while another DJ was getting hammered on location and
that guy passed out, so Ronnie took over and went,
I've on Z one hundred and was drawn himself out.
I don't know where I want him to tell the

(13:06):
story anyway, point point being, Ronnie has a hilarious story
of being hammered on the radio and it was his
first on air shift and he went on the airs
ron t Burke, and he was talking in a crazy
language and nobody was listening at like, nobody from management
ever found out. I think he does. Oh my god. Alright,

(13:33):
but anyway, but I digress. That happened to me one
one radio problem I had about maybe a year ago.
So we have this this this thing where we play
new music and then we play a new song. So
the button hit new music and then I was like,
all right, I guess I'll roll with it. Uh this
is gore with with and the heavy metal for five minutes,

(14:00):
and I and what because once the songs are in there.
It's not like I placed the songs in there. The
computer pre selectum, so so I just went with it.
And then at one point I just go, you know what,
we're four minutes in. I'm just gonna end this song now.
And then you play a little a little jingle into
the next song. Then I go to the boss, Hey,
what happened? So the computer, the guy putting the songs

(14:22):
in the computer messed up one letter for an Ariana
Grande song. So it's supposed to be an Ariana Grande song.
And instead of that, yeah this, this is this. Yeah
g w A R guar if you want to pull
it up at home. So I new music War and
then this played. This played on a top forty radio station,

(14:49):
all because someone messed up one letter in a computer
for an Ariana Grande song. But scary. I have an
award I would like to hand out to before you
get out of here, the biggest cursor on the podcast award.
Look who's getting humble right now, danielmen, Thank you very much,
Thank you. I don't think it's a crown moment, but

(15:11):
want you incorporate some of your language. Yes, you are,
Of all people, you're the least suspect that you are
a mommy of two. You self edit every morning when
you're on the radio. I know, I know when she's
from So. I'm from Brooklyn, So. And we curse all
the time. You have all the time. What are you

(15:32):
talking about? Why is it? Why is the podcast a
place for you? Because we're not allowed the curse on
the ra You know, we have to make a conscious question.
We have to make a conscious choice every morning when
when someone speaks on the radio. Unlike some of our
guests lately who been cursing like music is playing, the
band is playing, I don't know. I think you have
an effect. By the way, speaking of cursing, we used

(15:52):
to have a regular segment with our current president and
he said ship on the radio. He did back in
the day the fifty a minute morning show.
