I'm running a party, the Elvis Duran After Party. Well, friends,
welcome to the Elvis Duran After Party Podcast. Now you
might be wondering, I'm not seeing any video. I'm hearing
different voices. Where's everybody. Well, let's equate it to the
(00:28):
McAllister family leaving on family vacation. Everybody is packing thing,
pizza is getting delivered. Joe Peshi's trying to rob the
radio station right now as we speak, addressed as a cop.
But I am here, Garrett holding it down. We have
some of our friends. Our interns are lovely photographer extraordinaire
(00:48):
that captures every moment except for this one right now
because she's on our podcast. So let's introduce everybody. We'll
start with Miss Rachel, not the Miss Rachel from Netflix,
but hello, Rachel, how are you?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I'm good?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Thank you for doing this. I like, I'm like, Rachel.
Please just I know you're working right now and you
have to get Lady Gaga pictures done.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Please just give me a few.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Two days ago and we got Dylan, Hi, nice to
reach Dylan, Welcome again and you know this is old
hat for you guys and Ben, because you guys have
your own little podcast there, which you know.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I gotta say, it's getting better and better each time
I'm hearing it.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
First one, first one stunk, I'll be honest, but you
know what, the by the the one that you guys
did in our green room kind of was a little
wonky because it was set up. But still but welcome, Thanks,
Welcome to the Welcome to the Big podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I guess for your kind words about our podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Well, you know, you know what I was thinking about
that too, when we'll talk about it in a second.
Because you guys are interns here and uh, but you guys,
I assume have dreams and want to do more than
just intern for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You don't know that, right I started as an intern,
right as did I.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Rachel I did the same thing as well. And so
let's put it out there first, Ben Dillon, outside of
just being interns, what would you like to do? Like
everything stops right now, you can do your dream job.
Someone says he here's all the money in the world.
You get to do whatever you want as a job.
What would that be?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
So for me, I've always wanted to do social work.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
I grew up around sports media business, so just in
that media industry would be great. But if I can
choose any job right now, it would be to do
ww social media team or just any all.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Right, So when you say you guys say social media,
When you say social work, I'm like, Wow, that is
very nice of you to help out those in need.
But no, you want to make memes of Cody Rhodes
and but that's fine, that's great. I mean they're right
up the block in Connecticut too, so you definitely don't
want to do that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So wwe, mister.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Ben direct movies?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
What kind? This is your dream? You should know this already.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Well, I don't know if there's like I would want
to try all different genres, but I think it would
be like really fun to direct a comedy, like a
classic comedy movie would be fun. But I don't know
I'd want to try them all.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
It is your dream cast in this comedy.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
God, you're putting me on the spot right now.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Well, you know I want to Ben, I want to
ask you something because you're wearing a hat right now
and it's a very back in the day this used
to be a very controversial hat.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
It's ed Hardy, right, Yeah? Yeah? Did I met is
ed Hardy back? Did I? I don't know. Are you
trying to bring ed Hardy back?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I don't know, honestly. I think the design is fun
and that's why I'm wearing it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Did you buy it or did you thrift it?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Twas given to me.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
It was given to as a gift too, all right,
So I didn't know if you were trying to, because
you are one of the more better dressed, eccentric dressers
here at work, just in the entire building. So if
there was a trend I was trying to, I didn't
want to miss it.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's why I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's pretty popular. If I would say so.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Would you say ed Hardy is it would be socially
acceptable to wear ed Hardy again?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I would say so, because that's where Elvis's husband like
when they first met, that's all he wore was ed Hardy.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh well, let's bring it back. It'll make Elvis feel reminiscent.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Reminiscent, all right. So let's turn to Rachel. So Rachel
has been with us for how many years now? Rachel
just with iHeart and general fourth that's crazy, right, I'm
just about to hit twenty two and it's crazy. But
so you started as an intern, when did you just
become our official photographer of iHeartMedia, slash the Elvis durand
show slash anything else involving in our show.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Well in twenty fifteen, that's when I started full time,
climbed up the short ladder, and now I'm in charge.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
So any photo that you see on social media online
and anything pertaining to this building that we work in,
or even our show in general, it comes from Rachel's lens.
And the one thing I think we all should know,
and you two guys, Ben Dylan, you should realize when
you see a photo online, it just didn't appear, you
(05:17):
know what I mean, Like it wasn't and then it
doesn't automatically become yours. It doesn't become yours at all.
But if you were to give show support, let's just say,
I think the one thing that people that are in
Rachel's field deserve is credit. So that's the one thing
that if I could teach you guys anything, If you
(05:39):
see a photo, someone took it. Who took that photo,
especially in this building, most likely came from Rachel. So
and if you're listening, to make sure if you see
any of Rachel's photos, make sure her name's there and.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Make appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I agree, give credit where credit is due. We got
some other photographers in the building. We got Nick over
at breakfast.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Clos No, you could seal all Nick's photos. It's fine,
it's oh, you know what, I like Liam, give Liam credit.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Nick not so much. No, but but I I know that's.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Something you're very passionate about, and especially here and and
you know what, if you guys are learning anything for
your for your journal, if for your logs of internship today,
to get back to your school about photo credit, because
Rachel goes through it a.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Lot of you know what, what what would you.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Say, Rachel, was your craziest moment where you're just scrolling
online and go, that's mine.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
There's no credit.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
There have been like what would you say?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Of course, but what would you say, is like the
craziest photo that you thought like, wow, this is awesome
and then you just see it randomly somewhere, you know,
on a feed.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Honestly, today, Lady Gaga was on Last Culture Says recently
and the episode just came out, So now the photo's up.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well no, no, I know that, but the photos not yet.
Not yet.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm sure you will buy the time this gets posted
or I have a feeling later on today.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
But that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
But I found yeah, outside of iHeart.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Artists have used my photos as their promo photo. So
that could go on a billboard, right that could I've seen. Okay,
here's one I went to see h.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Ryan Tedter from One Republic.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, and I want to say it was either all
of the Jonah's brothers or one of them, uh speak
downtown and a photo that I took of Ryan Tetter
was in the program and I was not expecting to
see that.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
That's gonna I mean, it's gotta be cool.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
But also like, hey, I didn't didn't let me check
my spam see if they sent me an email to
get any type of credit from there. All right, So
as with our interns here as well today. Uh you know,
I know you guys talk about this on the podcast,
but at this moment in time up until today, what's
that one memory you're going to take away from being
(07:59):
here and building What core memories have you created for
yourself that you know in ten years, you'll be like,
oh man, that was such a fun spring semester.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Probably teaching Guy Fieri or Vana White a TikTok was
just so random and weird.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's the one thing too at this job where it's
like people say it's like, oh, do you have any
favorite celebrities that you ever met? And Rachel, I know
you've probably met even more than I have, but that
you all have that Mount Rushmore of like celebrities you
would love to meet. Being here for as long as
we have like that, Mount Rushmore has changed several times
(08:42):
for me. So in moments like that are one of
those like right now, put that on your Mount Rushmore.
But guaranteed if you're here, you know, in three four
years that will be like as cool as it is
right now, it'll be back on the list.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, I am out so.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Vana White and Guy Fieri tiktoks.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Honestly, Dylan, come on.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
You cannot use it. This is radio, this is the
media industry. You cannot say, oh, SAME's eas No.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
No, no, I'm not saying because I didn't have to help
him learn tiktoks. For me, I got to bring Guy
Ferry up in the elevator. So which wasn't.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You're telling me this whole building of superstars at Walking
Guy Fieri is your core memory for both of you.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Honestly, I was pissed because I was away for that.
Rachel and I wrote back there. I know it was
a busy week. Tate McCray was here, Vana White was here,
Jeff Probes was here, But the one that I called
out for being sad to miss was Guy Fiery.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Well, I will too.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It was a core memory and you weren't even here.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I wouldn't say he is my favorite of the people
that we have.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Well, that's what I'm asking. What's that question?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
You didn't favorite said memory?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I said core memory? What's the core memory? Your almost
your favorite core memory is your favorite memory?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
M I beg to differ because to me that stands
out because it was like random and funny, having to
like teach Vana White, like what the TikTok sound was right?
But like favorite person was probably Jeff Probes.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
So all your memories have been in one week.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
That was a busy week, kind of all off.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That I didn't Dylan, do not say Jeff Brow.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I'd be honest. I was not a Survivor fan.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
So when they had Jeff Broks, I had to learn
while mid interview, oh this is the guy from Survivor.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
So that's on me.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
No.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
That same day though, when we had Guy Fiery and
just all those different people coming in, I got to
meet Joe Hendry, who was the Teenag World Champion.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I'm a big wrestling fan.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
So that was really cool, especially because like I I
wanted to meet Guy Fiery.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, you're in this, we're in the studio that we're
recording this right now, you're up on the TV and
you were sweating.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, I saw you sweat.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Well a little bit, a little bit sweat, But uh no,
that was like overall that day.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
But honestly, I think the at least core memory wise,
I think just the overall atmosphere of being in around
all the great people here at iHeart. Like I remember
I came in last week after just having a root
canal done, and every single person checked in on me like, hey,
how are you feeling, Like are you doing okay? So
like having that is just been kind of like a
good memory at least because I'm like, okay, I won't
look back ten years ago like, oh my time there
(11:06):
was terrible, like no, I will have a good memories.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
At least I had no idea, no worry.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I don't like, I don't want to tell everyone.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Al you just said everybody. I'm like, you know, I
didn't come up to you and say how you feel.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I had no idea to be fair, to be fair
the only.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Way I kind of did you know?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
There?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Basically I knew, Rachel, did you know?
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Holy shit, I gotta keep you in the loop. Are
I gotta re you in? I feel so bad now.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I just love everyone, Like everyone checked in on me,
and I'm sitting here and going, I know I didn't
check in on you because I had no idea.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Now we're doing good. You know, the face isn't in
pain anymore.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
I'm not swollen up like it was before I had
to get the root canal, So we're overall good. Hopefully
that's the last of all the like issues like you've had,
because I've had that the BEFOREVET.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Was the flu.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
So I'm like, health hasn't just not been on my
side the last month. So I'm just glad that we're
doing okay now.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Well, at least you got all your core memories done
last week with Guy Fieri and vent Or White.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
See we're missing time. You know, it's kind of hard
to get the you know, cure memories. But honestly, going
back to giving Rachel credit, I will have to give
her some photo credit after because you got me a
photo with Joe Gatto earlier.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And now when you post this photo, let's just get
this straight. You're gonna tag Joe and that's all well
and good, but you have to tag right, so.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
You gotta get the camera emoji to two dots, get
the Instagram handle in there.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
You got to give the credit.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
All right, fair enough?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And what's your instagram so we can all make sure
that you do do it and check in on you
for your tooth.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Right, Sorry to cut you off. My Instagram is Dylan
two two two one. Yes, I will make sure as
long as I get Rachel's Instagram, I can give her
some credit.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Even more credit if you put her name first before
Joe Gado's.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You don't have to do that.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Give Rachel credit, though.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
You gotta give Rachel credits, especially with the great camera quality,
like I sincerely appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
See you guys were worried. You're like, we're gonna do
this podcast? What are we going to talk about how
long is it going to be? And you know what,
we did it. We did it for a good thirteen minutes.
It was pain it was painlins we can as well,
you know, if we could bring this to at least fifteen,
it would be more than most of the podcast that
we normally do with everybody else. And you know what,
(13:10):
not bad for the B Squad. And I'm a part
of the B Squad too. I'm admitting it, like you know,
I'm not gonna be like I'm on the I'm on
the bench, you know, and to come out.

Speaker 6 (13:24):
Tea.
Speaker 4 (13:24):

Speaker 3 (13:27):
You know what that that's exactly how I got through school.
And you know what I did, I did all right,
six out of ten. I'll take it that that only
means that C plus is coming and C minus is
coming very soon.
