you were part of this weird whacked family.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
Yes, I do. It was so chaotic and so awesome.
I remember exactly what I wore. I remember getting a
big hug from Danielle and from you, and I think
I have a picture of us all hugging. We had
dosas because you guys asked me what I wanted to
do for breakfast, and I said dosas, not thinking that
everyone was going to have them, And then everyone had
them and you guys liked them and it was awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:45):

we would give her doses for breakfast.

near his house, he comes back with things for me.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, yeah, it's great.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Ah Okay, I never know what's order, but I just
I just say, can I have one of those?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't know what they are, and it's always a
good gift.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
So six years, I mean, any thoughts anything you want
to reflect on?
Speaker 8 (02:14):
What?
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Yeah, it's been the best six years of my whole life.
I've had more fun here than I ever thought I would.
I love you guys more than I ever thought I would.
I've built such strong relationships with people and had more
once in a lifetime experiences than I think any one
person even deserves to have. And I wake up happy
to come to work every single day. There's not a
(02:37):
day that I wake up and think, oh man, I
gotta go to work. I love it. I have such
a good time here, and it's just been so fun
to grow and do it with all of you. It's
been great.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That's nice.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I think there's some inspiration for the rest of us.
Those of us have been here for twenty eight years. Yeah,
so some days, you know, we look for inspiration to
kind of wake us up a little bit, and so.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
You definitely are the spark plug. Yeah, and we appreciate that.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
It's been awesome. I don't know what I would do
without you guys.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Danielle, do you remember your first day on the air
for the show. No, it's kind of blurry, right, It's very.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Blurry because it's not like it's there. I feel like
there wasn't a definite first first day because I did
so many different things and wore so many different hats.
So I would come in and like do a segment here,
and do a segment there, and then eventually it was okay,
you're going to be in there full time. So I
feel like it was never really you know what I mean.
So I can't remember the day day. I just remember
(03:29):
doing different things and you know, getting.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Kind of you slowly were stirred into the show exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Scary was a producer, yeah, and so he really wasn't
on the show.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Right I was. I was in the back answering phones.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I think Dane getting yelled at answering phones with you too, Yeah, they.
Speaker 9 (03:44):
Yell was at back there. That was back when when
everyone used to call radio stations like non stop and
all the lines with jams, and we'd get little rid
of one line and then the next line would pop
up like whack the mole, and then we would write
down what.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
People wanted to say on a piece of paper and we.
Speaker 9 (03:59):
Would run down the hall around a corner into the
studio to run everything in.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Live if a caller wanted member.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
We didn't have any communication between the studio and the
back phone room.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
There none none. We tried our best to figure that out.
We never did.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
So, Gandhi and Nate, you weren't here then. So you
have to remember they were at a little space, like
a cubicle space in the back of the building, the
same distance as it is basically from our studio to
let's say, uh the Z one studio around the corner.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So they would have to run everything and written on
a piece of paper to get a call on the air.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Oh my god, you got to see scary run every day.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I mean the best shape of my mind was able
to run back then. Yeah, we didn't. We didn't see it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
We could feel it anyway, But that's we didn't have
any communication between the two at all. They would have
to run everything down and write everything down and run
it into the room.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It was a little paper, remember, and it had like
topic caller's name, you know, all different things that you
had to fill in before you would run the paper.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
You would make a song request.
Speaker 9 (05:05):
They wanted to hear Pearl Jam better Man number forty
five enter age. Yeah, like we just have to.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Take like kind of research.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
We have to research to see what the song requests,
what people wanted to hear, and it was on a
computer that was so slow, and it was like a
floppy disc computer. It used to make a lot of noise.
And we had a fax machine. Oh my god, I
remember the fact.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, we would actually tell people if you want to
request a song, you can call us or fax us.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, your request. Thank god. Those fucking days are over.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Pardon my language anyway, but yeah, those were the days.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Your first day, do you remember.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Your doing mornings?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I don't remember. It was with Elliott. It was the
Elvis and Elliott Morning Show on Z one hundred and uh,
I don't remember. It was so long ago.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Don't tell me that we were all here by it.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
We were there. We were there. Yeah, And then I'm
just trying to remember. Oh my goodness, I can't remember
why the whole.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There are certain things that are vivid memories from here
and what we did here, But then there are other
things you just you can't remember for some reason, which.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Is what Maybe because they just weren't that spectacular. They sucked.
But what about Nate? Nate, your first day here here?
Speaker 8 (06:15):
Uh so, I you remember I came and visited a
couple of times.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Before I officially started.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
But my first day was the day after the finale
for Breaking Bad, because I watched it in my hotel
room that night before, and yeah, and it was I
don't know. It's like, like Gandhi mentioned on the show,
I mean, having worked for other radio shows and then
coming in here, it's just a world of difference, an
absolute world of difference. And that's the big thing that
(06:42):
I noticed was just the culture. You know, it was
a lot different and people were much more friendly.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's so weird that we don't know that because we've
never been to it. Thank god you and Gandhi.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, I mean you walk in and you talked as
if it's it's frightening out there in the real world.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
It's just like I was telling somebody the story the
other day, like I worked on a show where my
hair was literally falling out from stress. I had alopecia.
Other people just you know, I remember one person just
left one day.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Rocky says the same thing about the other place that
he worked out. It was like a torture.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I remember we were doing an appearance at Rab's Country Lanes,
the bowling Alley in Staten, Island.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
This little kid came up to me.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Hey, little kid, Hi, I'm Garrett.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I'm gonna kind of work for you.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I said, okay, I want to be an antern. I said,
hell are you three.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Don't get college credit?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, I said, so when you go to college you can.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You can come be an intern. And that's what you started.
I think you started here your first day. You started
in college.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Yeah, first day in college and right out on the
street with Scotty b They Scotty Bee put me in
a big whoopie cushion costume and on Richmond Avenue to
attract people to come into a parking lot to break
a whoope cushion world record, which we didn't. But so
growing up in my hometown, I'm dressed as a whoope
cushion on a main road in Staten Island.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah, Scotty Bee's been with us since he was a kid.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Yeah. I mean I came into the show because Greg
t needed a driver because he would fall asleep driving
all the time. So right, yeah, I had to drive
him around it. That's that's how I started on this show.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And he would letter, he would he would throw his
McDonald's leftovers on the streets and he drove me insane.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Remember that one time when he threw something out the
window and I jammed on the brakes and he hit
his head on the dashboard because he wouldn't wear a seatbelt,
And then.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
He punched me.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I stopped every day, I stopped the car in the
middle of the street and he punched me, and I
got out and I walked away and left him.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
We see what Naate and Gotti don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Is I mean Scotty Bee would drive Greg T around
every single day.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I mean they were out. You were out every day
every day, an't you? Every day?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I mean it was routine. They would get up, they
would hop in the car and they would go. They
would have different assignments, but they were rarely ever institutor.
They were always checking in from the streets always and
you know, we can we can do that again if
you want.
Speaker 9 (09:00):
Prior to that, before Scotty arrived on the scene, people
would take turns going out with Greg T. So I
got I had the privilege of going out a couple
of times that I remember. One of the time we
went out, we went to go we saw Jennifer Anison
was Anison was filming a movie and Hoboken, and we
were trying to quote get the interview, so we wanted
to like like knock on the trailer door and see
(09:22):
what was going on there.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I remember that.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
And another time you sent us to Little Peopleville in
an area of New Jersey where all the little people
were and.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, that was not good. Let's not even talk about that, Okay, okay,
moving on, all right, it's scary.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Of all the things to remember, we did get into
a lot of trouble sending into certain places.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Things have changed so much too. I couldn't even imagine
being able to get close enough to a celebrities trailer
now to be able to knock on the door without
somebody tackling you or tasing you or something.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Keep in mind Scotty B and Greg T were locked
in Martha's supers kitchen.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Yeah, there there were a few arrests, and when they.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Were about to drive out of her driveway, they closed
the gate and wouldn't let them leave until the police arrived.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
That as you probably deserved.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I did an interview with the bare naked ladies once
and they gave me this jankeity equipment from the radio
station to take with me. And they're like showing me
which buttons to push, and this was like big bulky
equipment to do an interview. I get there and they
come out of their trailer and I do this interview
and it was I thought it was a great interview.
I go to listen to it back nothing on them.
(10:28):
So I'm like, uh, oh, what happened? So I run
after them and I'm like, wait, I didn't record, And
you know that they were so nice that they redid
the inter Canadians Canadians that time it recorded. But you
know that equipment is as jankity as the stuff we've
got now.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, Greg and I to Iceland with a satellite phone
and we could never connect it. We were never on
the air the entire time.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
They woke up in a hotel room in Iceland and
Great Tea woke up and said, oh, they have everything.
The candy here is great. They have this toubble rope
larone candy that's from Iceland. Anyway, So memories there.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
You go, you got lots of it. You remember when
I went into labor, Oh yeah, I remember. So when
I was pregnant with Spencer. The day before Greg t
took me on a run to the hospital. We're gonna
see how it would go if you went into labor.
And he was driving like a looney and all over
the place. The next morning, it was like six something
in the morning and all of a sudden, I'm like, ooh,
(11:27):
hold on a second, and I was doing a Britney
Spears story and I wrote down the time, and Elvis goes,
are you in labor? And I was like, I think
I might be, and he goes, well, then you need
to go to the hospital. And then I drove myself
halfway to the hospital with Garrett.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
In the car with me intern Garrett sitting next to
pregnant Danielle giving birth and I'm like, please don't have
the baby, Please don't have the baby.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
And Scottie following us car. He was screaming at me,
you need to let someone else drive. I'm like I'm good,
and all you hear is me going.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Oh like no one got to see that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
She was punching the roofs the car, like.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
What hurts you have a bag?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
The best part about that is it was all in
the air and everyone heard the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
When we got to the hospital, I was like, what's
seven centimeters dilated or something.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Yeah, I remember pulling up to the hospital and Danielle goes,
I'll let myself in, go park the car.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I'm like, Danielle, you're about to give birth. Let me
help you.
Speaker 3 (12:19):

still is all these years later. All right, there you go.
