Speaker 1 (00:00):
And welcome to the thoughts Shower. Intern John is my name?
Got an email always always when there's sound recording or
a microphone on, that's when an email notification goes off
from the show. It'll be quiet all day, but the
second it's like need to be quiet, It's like wan
(00:21):
to what let's dig right now?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Anyway, Happy Friday. Was a quick week.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Was a good week, my last kind of normal week
until I don't know forever. The restaurant I part, I'm
supposed to open next week, very exciting, let's get into it.
Appreciate you hanging out. Give me a very exciting weekend
for myself. So this weekend, well tomorrow, me and Sauce
(00:49):
and Hoodie are flying down to Universal Studios Orlando. Give
me doing the show there on Monday and Tuesday for
the Halloween horror nights. I'm very excited for that, you know,
gonna be very cool. It's one of those things where,
like grown up in Minnesota, you'd see commercials on TV
(01:10):
for like Disney and for Universal, and it always seems
so far away. Now, I was lucky as a kid,
went to Disney several times, Mom and Dad.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Very exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Maybe as I got older, I saw the commercials for
Halloween Horror Nights.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I was like, Oh, that'd be so cool to go to.
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
One year it was Walking Dead theme, one year a
Stranger Things theme. But I was always like, ah, but
I wouldn't have time to go down, like it's the
busy time of the say school year, but of the
radio calendar, so to speak.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
But now we get to go.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm excited to my brothers get me us down there,
which is very cool, so kind of like a little
broad trip as well. And then I'm a little bit
nervous though, because Chewy and Skittles going doggy daycare. I
now make Cheei's food. That's where we're at. He won't
eat dog food. He eats ground beef, and so I
(01:59):
had like I had a meal prep for Chewy last night,
which was like, oh, I feel like I'm sending my
kid off the camp officially, you know, had to make
him his little turkey meat. Had put little rice in
there so there's enough of carbohydrates, you know. So very
excited for that. And then we get back on Tuesday
and then like a soft opening of the restaurant is
(02:20):
next week. Very excited. Feels like We're finally here. Then
hockey starts, and then I have talking to a friend
and they're like, this is like your last free week, huh,
And I was like, yeah, relative, you know, I don't
really have.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Many free weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Although again I was talking to somebody else, I'm like,
you know, in our line of work, if I wasn't busy,
that wouldn't be a good thing, you know what I mean, Like,
if I wasn't doing so many other things, that mean
the show's not popping. That means I'm not popping. So
very blessed to be doing this be very exciting. I
(02:58):
was just thinking about this too as we're talking about
seeing the commercials for Universal, like growing up in Minnesota,
and maybe we do now, but at the time when
I was there, we didn't have seven to eleven, So
to me, seven to eleven is like a delicacy, Like
I think seven to eleven is one of the greatest
convenience stores of all time.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
We'd always see the.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Commercials growing up, and I would ask my mom, like, hey,
do we have seven eleven here? It's like, now we
don't we have seven eleven at home? No, Like I
always want to do the Slurpee and like I was like, oh,
it's cool. They have like snacks and they have like
hot food and they have everything you could possibly need.
Then when I moved here, I was like, okay, good
(03:41):
to go. You know what's funny. When I moved here,
they put me in corporate housing, which is a fancy
term for a hotel, but it was nice because I
had a kitchen, and like it was even nicer like
this one had breakfast and dinner, although I missed breakfast
every day, and dinner was like it'd be like pizza
(04:02):
or it'd be like I think, like taco meat. So
like relatively not bad when you're just like getting somewhere
and you need to have food. But my first day
of the station, nobody told me I needed a key
to get in, because you know how radio baby like,
he'll figure it out, and I did. As I waited
outside for like an hour, I was trying to get
(04:25):
some like you know, rations before the show. And there's
a gas station And looking back now, it's weird because
like the station's on Rockville Pike, relatively safe area. The
gas station I went to was one of those ones
where you walk up to the glass on the outside
and talk to somebody through like holes in the glass
(04:45):
to put.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Your order in, and I was like, God, where the
hell am I, dude? Where am I?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So? Anyway, seven to eleven. That was a first that
had out here. Chick fil A was another one. While
I was in Minnesota, we had Chick fil A, but
Des Moines there was Chick fil A at a mall
like ten minutes away, but I never went because I
never knew what to get alsites couldn't afford it.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I was that broke.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So Chick fil A was one of those things where
like when you tell people you haven't had it, like,
oh my god, huh.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
How have you lived? You don't even deserve to breathe.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
It was very much hyped up, and the first time
I had it, I was like, Okay, it's all right,
not that it's bad.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Like it's good's it's great.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And then I quickly graduated to when I found out
you could buy a tub of the Chick fil A sauce. Dude,
when I first got here, I would eat stuffed crust
pizza and then dip it in Chick fil A sauce.
Let me just say it was fantastic. I mean it was.
(05:53):
It was very good. I would highly recommend it was
very good. The CLOrk intake not so. But this is
back in the day, baby, we were younger back then,
you know, metabolism well still wasn't great, but it was
still better, you know what I mean. Anyway, I ain't
(06:13):
really mean to go down memory lane, although you won
know what my anniversary is coming up, so maybe that
makes sense. It'll be dull twenty twelve, twelve years, twelve
years in the district? Man oh man, who would have thought?
(06:35):
You know, it's weird that there's this. It just kind
of feels like the last I know, six years, seven years,
there's been so much going on that it feels like
it's all kind of a blur, you know what I mean,
where it's it's really hard to pinpoint when certain things happened,
when I did certain things. I have to really think
(06:57):
about it, because it just kind of feels like things
were kind of, yeah, moving at a good pace for
a little bit, and then it was rapid fire getting
back into the atmosphere, so to speak, you know, a
little turbulence, and it doesn't quite feel like it's ever slowed.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Down, and maybe it has.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I think that certain days feel slow in others obviously,
but like, yeah, it does kind of feel like a blur. Yeah,
my first weekend land on a Thursday, started the show
on a Friday, and then did my first event, I
believe it was The Loopis Walk on that Saturday, so
(07:38):
we were right in the thick of things. Again, it's
an odd thing that I flew out on a Thursday,
started on Friday.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I out know what the logic was behind that.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I mean, obviously it worked out, but looking back now,
it would have been probably if there wasn't an event
that Saturday, that would have sucked. But at least like
I got to do the event. Otherwise would preferred to
like land on Saturday, start on Monday, so you get
like five days of meeting people in like getting a
vibe right and doing that. And I will never ever
(08:09):
ever let him forget that. Eric never introduced himself to
me on the first day, never did, although I'll say
I'll give him credit. I think he has at least
a part of the reason why I'm here, Because I
like not even apply to be on the show. I
auditioned to be on the show in September. I didn't
(08:31):
know they were hiring since like June had no idea,
and so when I found that out, I did, like
the the audition I did from Des Moines, they were
all here and didn't hear anything. So I found Eric's
Facebook page and I would send him messages on Facebook
like hey, we're looking forward to hopefully.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Being with you guys.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Here's some here's some of my bits, here's some adiata
and typical Eric. He never responded, but but he had
his red receipts on so I could see he was
at least reading the message.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Sounds like okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
What's probably happy is he's getting the message, he's reading it,
and he's telling them like, hey, this kid reached out again,
Hey this guy did you know whatever?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
And so I.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Kept doing that, kept doing that, and then got the
Collie come out here, which was it's crazy, we're getting
like to that time. I remember it was like I
found officially the weekend after the iHeart Festival that year,
so probably two weeks issh from now. But yes, said
this point twelve years ago, I had probably done the test,
(09:39):
like done like the here we go, but was just
waiting for the word back, which is crazy crazy, And
now look where we are, man, I'm excited for this weekend.
If you get a chance to follow along at intern
John Radio, gonna be a lot of fun. I gonna
be doing a lot of cool things as well. Have
an amazing weekend. I'll see him Monday,
