Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
phone fifteen minute morning show podcast? And we gather again.
This is our second fifteen minute morning show podcast since
we all had to disperse and run our own separate ways.

(00:24):
And uh, I don't do we get any feedback from
yesterday's podcast? Is there anything they want to hear less
of more of? Do we need to do something differently? Straight?
And a come on tell us? I think I think
we're doing great. I mean, you know, so just to
give you guys a little bit uh geography. Here, I'm
talking to Scary through a window and I have the
door propped open so I can hear what's going on

(00:44):
in the studio. So I hear all of you through
a door, and I'm talking into a microphone that's set
up by Josh Had, one of our engineers right at
my little workstation here. So um, it's it's kind of
hard to get a full big picture of what's going
on because we're all in our little world. Makes sense
we are, And Danielle was in her basement and her
husband without any pants on, keeps walking on and we're

(01:09):
all watching on Skype, so we see each other. You know.
My my assumption is this when we're watching each other
on Skype and all the different panels where we're all featured.
I think we watch each other close, more closely now
than we do when we're in the same room with
each other. I agree. I will tell you. I was
watching TMZ yesterday and they have you know, have normally
there in that big office which does not allow for

(01:31):
social distancing, and they're all hanging out with each other.
This time, they were all at their houses and Harvey
Levin was in one square. They were like nine squares
on the screen, and I got this. I was looking
in the background to see which which each person chose
as their their choice of where they were doing their show.
One guy was on the toilet. It was funny, you know,

(01:53):
I'm looking at and even in the newscasts, Al Roker
was doing it from his kitchen. I saw, you know,
some other low full news anchor had a beautiful bookcase
behind him in his house. I'm trying to, like, you know,
get a sense of what people's homes are like. I
like this. Well, here's the thing. You know, when you're
going to be working from home and you're on a
skype or your zoom, your zooming or whatever you're doing.

(02:16):
Do you really put a lot of thought into what
your background is. I mean a lot of people do whatever,
no thought. No, that's my basement. I have kids, we
have story storage, we have the kids toys down here.
We have the tank of the Tonka, the bearded dragon.

(02:39):
This is the this is happening in your basement. This
room needs a lot of work that we're gonna be
redoing this room eventually to you know, but you know,
it is what it is. It's a lived in I
would be comfortable in your basement doing the show. I'd
be fine there. And so Gandhi's in her living room
with those big plants everywhere, and she and look, Gandhi
has tons of pictures on her wall from who were
the pictures of your family and friends and uh yeah

(03:01):
family friends, um, just some vacation stuff. That green thing
I painted. That other one my sister painted and she's
a terrible artist, so that was like the best she
could do. So I kept it because I love it too.
It makes me happy. Also, if we use zoom, you
can have like virtual backgrounds. If you want to eliminate

(03:23):
everything we have going on here, we could switch. Oh
you can we we could. We may get into zoom
one day, but I'm still kind of liking this the
rawness of Skype. And then there's in his in his
guest bedroom, so it's just a blank wall. Yeah, they're
actually there are pictures. You're actually in a couple of
pictures that are on the wall. I don't see them. Yeah,

(03:44):
here you look here, hold on here, I'm gonna walk
over there and show you on this guype. Look you're
in these pictures. Look at this. Look at that. Oh,
look look at that. I didn't know from where you are. Yeah, yeah,
they're all in there. Look at that. I made the wall.
That's my room. That's my room in the house. Yeah,

(04:06):
daniel this room more nights than I have. It's it's
now the studio is that? And so is this the
room you sleep in when Lisa hate your cuts. Yes,
that's only been three nights since we've lived here. I
think Danielle has spent five nights here. So daniel is
still ahead of me. I bet you catch up soon anyway,
So you know, doing this thing from home. It's interesting

(04:28):
because several times I would get up during a song
or commercial and I would go load the dishwasher. Which
is over here, right behind me, over there. Sometimes I
would like a few minutes ago, I sliced a nice
slice of chocolate cake. Al I love working working out
of the house, but I miss being with you guys
in the same room. I'm missing that a lot. Yeah,
I too. Definitely I would like it if we were

(04:50):
all there sharing chocolate cake with you at the farm.
It's so good. I did put the invite out to
Gandhi because her family is worried that she is not
going to do well alone. I mean, what made them
think that? Gandhi? So my whole life up until just
a few years ago, I have always lived with someone

(05:10):
and had a little pet, And when I moved to Boston,
it was the first time that I didn't and I
was okay there because you're still interacting and seeing things.
But as the baby of our whole family, I'm just
very used to always having people around, and it's strange
now to not have anybody, like my boyfriend is not here,
my sister is not, my mom and dad aren't and
the odds of me being able to see them, I

(05:31):
probably am not going to because I don't want to
risk infecting anybody or traveling when we're not supposed to.
So it's really just the prospect of a few months
alone and that's weird to me. Well, is it weird
to you when you're not thinking about it, or does
it like come in waves you're like, oh my god,
I'm all alone? Yeah, and it just comes in waves
like I'm a very huggy, affectionate person and they're just

(05:52):
sometimes and I'm like, oh, I could use a hug
right now. Oh there's nobody around, dang it. And even
if there was, I probably wouldn't ug them because we
have to stay away. Yeah. I don't know. We're all
getting through it, though. I feel I feel like, you know,
if we do, Like Governor Cuoma was saying, you really
just have to, uh just resign yourself to the fact
that this is what it is. You have to go

(06:12):
ahead and get over the fact that we're going to
be in this for a while and you have to
just live with it. And once you do, once you actually,
once you actually uh make that statement to yourself, this
is what it is. There's nothing I can do about it.
You might as well make the best of it. It
helps ease the pain a little bit, doesn't it. Yeah,

(06:34):
it definitely doesn't. I think that as time goes on,
we're going to all figure out a routine and a
schedule and the things that we need to do to
take care of ourselves mentally and physically. It's just this
initial start of everything. It's strange. We're all eating too much,
We're staying away from each other. There's just a lot
of stuff happening. Is anybody else planning meals? Uh, sort

(06:55):
of what do you mean by that? What do you
mean planning? In other words? Like it's you know, we're
doing this at in the morning. I've already got my
lunch planned, I've got my snack planned, I've got my
dinner land and then I know I'm gonna have a
bowl of popcorn later. But you have food trucks that
are coming by, so you can't. I mean, it's very
cool for you. We have to go in the freezer

(07:16):
and get out the meat we don't have. However, today
is going to be I can tell you right now,
at nine thirty this morning, I can let you know
that today will be a full bag of peanut Eminem's day.
I'm going to the store to get them Eastern peanut
M and M eggs, because I need them and I
don't care how many calories they are to eat the
whole damn bag shape. I am enjoying shopping more than

(07:39):
ever because it gives me something to do and look
forward to in my day. This is now the highlight
and it kills time. So I have no problem buying,
like a little bit of the time going in, going
up and down the aisle, slowly reading labels. I'm like, oh,
I'm gonna buy this over this. I literally stood over
the mustard section yesterday for about twenty minutes because I'm like, scary, scary, scary.

(08:01):
Are you really supposed to be going out every day?
I mean, shouldn't you? Let me clear that up? I'm going, well,
that's what you said. Well, I'm going to the store
that during the at eleven am noon, nobody's around, everybody's
working from home. The aisles are empty, and I'm by myself.
But I will tell you, every day you realize how
many varieties of mustard there were. Yeah, confess to something

(08:25):
I'm doing at my store. Hold on straight night, he
has to make a confession to confession from Froggy. Yes, Froggy.
So the other day when I went there, they were
running low on the Eminem's. I took four bags and
hid them somewhere else in the store. And so today
when I go back, I know that my Eminem's will
be in the store because I put them behind items
that nobody's buying, like behind kale It's. But I'm doing

(08:48):
it in the store. Yes, I don't want to buy
the Yeah, the casher will look at you funny, you
buy four bags and plans. Who cares, They've seen sorts
of crap. I really hope that Scary doesn't shop the
way he went through a little snack basket that engineering
one because he went through and touched every single snack

(09:09):
in there. So I can't even go through there and
pick something for myself because he went and touched everything,
looking at the different packages and the ingredients and stuff.
Oh yeah, he's contaminated hire basket. So how much like
look from afar everything he's jammed in there. And I'm like, well, yeah,
can you use a stick? That's a great idea, do

(09:29):
you know the stick with the grabber at the end,
the metal things pressed up washing tho we all need them.
I love this, God, these are the conversations we're having here.
Stick to grab things, even though I look for those
whenever I go to stores because I'm so short and

(09:50):
if there's something high, I need to locate where the
grabber is. Hey, remember this morning when our listener Andy
who said his hair was so long he was and crazy.
He decided to buzz cut his own hair. Yeah, we
just posted a picture of him on Elvis Durham's show
on Instagram. He's very handsome. He was good with his haircut.

(10:12):
What do you think, Danielle Gandhi? I think looks find
a haircut. I'm just shave my head. What do you
mean from you? If I have a weird shaped head
and I have a birthmark on my head, and so
if I shave my head, it would look really stupid.
So I'd have to wear a hat every day. But
I'm thinking about shaving my head. But I would not
look as good as he does. Yeah, he looks good.

(10:35):
He's able to pull that off. All right, I may
have to shave my head. Okay, No, no, I'm stopping me. No,
I want to stop you. I don't want you to
shave your head. In general, I don't really like the
shaved head look. But if you were to do it,
you do it. I would prefer everyone to come out
on this man bun. Man, I'm not I'm never going

(10:57):
to man bun. Can you just take that out of
the conversation. Fine? I think it'dstic like what if I
do a drastic skater cut. I just cut the cut
the sides really short and lift leave to do it?
Do it? When you feel your head, do you feel
like any like weird like bumps or lumps or like
dip Yes in your head? Yes, I don't. Then you

(11:20):
can tell how it's going to look bold, you know,
like do you have like a nice egg head shape
or is it going to be like you have a
good head, have a good head, good head, straight and
a you've you've had your hands on my head many times.
It feels that was I was kidding. All right, I'm
bored with this. Can we just stop this? Can we

(11:40):
let me come back tomorrow? Oh you want to do
the twelve minute morning show? Yeah? The morning shows? Totally
fine with me. I've been hosting this show all day.
I'm fucking tired. I got it. Tomorrow when we do this,
someone else's hosting. I'm going to take the back seat. Okay,
I will come prepare tomorrow with topics for everyone in
then whoever wants to host, go for it. By the way,

(12:03):
straight in eight this morning, I noticed you had a
little sweatstain under your under your arm. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
but you had nice decognition in your arms actually smell
good today. You should be upset that you're not here. Well,
I'm not gonna come sniff you today. This is not
the time for sniffing show. Thank you. Last minute, last

(12:26):
thoughts before we get out of here. No, I just
hope you guys get good food today. Good we're getting
good food. And answer to your question, Froggy, I'd have
a lot of meals and I don't have to plan ahead.
I can just go, Okay, tonight we're gonna do this
and I'll grab that meal and go there go. Yeah.
I mean I don't have to plan, but it's all
I think about is food. What am I gonna eat?
And what am I going to eat? Nothing wrong with that.

(12:48):
I love the fact that you plan. What about you, Gandhi.
Last thoughts. Oh, I'm gonna go have some more of
that string cheese and I'm gonna bite it just to
trigger let's go. I'm going to buy one of those
grabber sticks so I don't contaminate any more food around here.
Thank you. You can also put tissue on the internet
and wipe your ass with it. Finally, a straight Nate,

(13:10):
I'm just glad Scar he's buying a grabber stick so
he doesn't touch my snacks. Tomorrow, all right, we gotta
get out of here. I'm getting irritable. See tomorrow. Bye bye.
