1
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: What would you talk about on your on your podcast.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Fine.

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 3: Morning Show.

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 4: Welcome to Monday, everybody scary? Are you excited to be here?

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 3: No, there's nothing welcoming about Monday.

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 4: I mean Monday.

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 3: I mean right there, it's a paradox in that sentence.

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 4: I don't know if paradox means what you think it mean.

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't feel right.

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 5: It seems like maybe oxy moron and oxymoron moron.

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, okay, explain what you're trying to

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 6: we'll trying to say. Is it Monday is a mundane

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 6: I call it mundane, not Monday, because.

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: If you're dragging your wagon.

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 4: It's just okay. So let's say we had Monday off.

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 4: Would Tuesday be your Monday?

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 7: Then?

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 4: Like, there's always gonna be a Monday for me.

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of like Mondays. I know that you're

20
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: gonna hate me for that, but I feel like it's

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: the beginning of the week. We're gonna start everything over again,

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: and there's so much.

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 4: Opportunity on the horizon.

24
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 8: I like them.

25
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: Monday. Tuesday's a bitch.

26
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 9: But I think Tuesday's better because Tuesdays you feel like

27
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 9: it's a shorter week and you get excited, so you're like,

28
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 9: I know, it's a shorter week, so you kind of

29
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 9: get like, no.

30
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: And so the week starts on Tuesday. Cool, But just

31
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: Tuesdays in general, I think they're kind of lame.

32
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 4: See. I don't like Thursdays because Thursdays you're tired and

33
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 4: you're like, oh my god, why can't it just be Friday.

34
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: So you get to Thursday and yeah, there's that feeling

35
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 4: of oh great, only one more day or that bullshit.

36
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: But honestly, I'm just so tired on Thursdays. Like, I

37
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: don't like Thursdays.

38
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 8: Whoa, I hate all the days, yeah, all of them.

39
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 5: You know.

40
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 6: I feel like the work week now is kind of

41
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 6: like built out with Wednesday, as everybody reports to work

42
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 6: on a Wednesday, and then if you have a three

43
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 6: day person, you have to come in Tuesday and Thursday.

44
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 6: And if you're a four day person, then you come

45
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 6: in Monday and then you take Friday off. So I

46
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 6: feel like that's how the work week is built out,

47
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 6: depending on what you're required to show up for.

48
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: Well, this building is pretty much a ghost down on Fridays.

49
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, forget it.

50
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 8: No, everybody everybody's out working, taking meetings, working working from home.

51
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: Wednesday's the day around here. This place is popping on Wednesday.

52
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: You get lunch and it's always a pretty good lunch downstairs,

53
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: and everyone's here, everyone's.

54
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: Working on Who stays that late.

55
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 5: That's when lunch comes at like twelve thirty.

56
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: It comes at twelve.

57
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: It's here.

Speaker 2: Here lately, Andrew Josh Diamond. Yeah, lots of people, Scottie,

60
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: lots of people don't just run out.

61
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: It is amazing though, because you know, we give these

62
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 4: CEOs and presidents of these companies bullshit for their pizza party.

63
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: But honestly, lunch comes in. If it's free, I'm there.

64
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, We're gonna take it. But still complain though.

65
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: Now if it's free, it's for me, honestly, Like, I'll

66
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: take free lunch all day.

67
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: At Taco Bar, they had soul food. Oh my god,

68
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: they have good food.

69
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: Been Taco Bar two weeks ago.

70
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

71
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: It comes in your email. They get the email and

72
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: then that line forms really fast. So you got to

73
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: get down there real quick. Hey, one thing I wanted

74
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: to talk about, So, okay, the Detroit Lions loss. They

75
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: got beat by the San Francisco forty nine ers. But

76
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 4: the crazy thing you know, this story Brock Purdy who

77
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: was two years ago. Yeah, the last pick, mystery, irrelevant,

78
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: the last pick in the NFL draft, and here he

79
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 4: is going to the super Bowl.

80
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: That's mind boggling.

81
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: It just proves that, Okay, you might be quote unquote irrelevant.

82
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: You might not have the opportunity, the microphone, the stage

83
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: to show what you can do. But people are talented, you.

84
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: Know what I mean? Well, they say Cream rises to

85
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: the top.

86
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 7: Okay, if he's if he's as great as he is,

87
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 7: and he was at the bottom, he will eventually have

88
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 7: shown his you know, true colors and and his his

89
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 7: you know, strengths and his talents.

90
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: And he did. Okay, he actually rose to the top.

91
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: Well, let me let me flip this on you, Danielle.

92
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: So if you didn't start in New York City, if

93
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: you didn't you start one hundred Novis durand do you

94
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: think you would have made it back here? Do you

95
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: think that Cream would have risen to the top. I

96
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 4: don't know.

97
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 9: I honestly couldn't tell. You had no idea the same.

98
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 4: Question a lot of or would you be would you

99
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: be in I don't know Jackson, Mississippi.

100
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 6: I think a lot of a lot of things would

101
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 6: have happen, had to have happened right, Like you know

102
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 6: what I'm saying.

103
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 5: A lot of things are timing at the right place,

104
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: right time, and timing, no matter how good you are,

105
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 5: if you got to be in the right place.

106
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 8: And that's the same thing with Brock Purdy though he

107
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 8: was the third string quarterback and literally three two to

108
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 8: three quarterbacks got injured or kicked off the team, so

109
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 8: the same thing. So what you're saying is true. It's

110
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 8: it's a right place, right time, and then show your talent.

111
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 6: If you think about how Danielle and I started here.

112
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 6: We started as people who just answered the phone in

113
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 6: the background while we were going to college, so a

114
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 6: few things had to happen. We graduated in ninety six.

115
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 6: In that may that it was also the time when

116
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 6: they shuffled everything around and Elvis moved from afternoons to mornings,

117
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 6: so that had to happen.

118
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: As Scotty said, timing. So that happened, and.

119
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 6: Then we didn't fly the coop to go somewhere else

120
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 6: because I was already had one foot out the door.

121
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right now, I gotta go do radio somewhere,

122
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: and I was.

123
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 6: Thinking about maybe leaving home, but they're like, well, wait,

124
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 6: this new morning show with Elvis is here.

125
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: You're already answering the phones.

126
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 6: Why don't we just parlay you, you know, kind of

127
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 6: transition you into like a full time position.

128
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: Same thing happened to Danielle and Greg T.

129
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 9: And I met Elvis at a party with underwear on

130
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 9: his head, and he was wasted, right, and he said,

131
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 9: what come and work for Budge.

132
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: But there's a lot to be said to timing, Dan

133
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: Yell Danielle.

134
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 9: So that's one of the ways I got my foot

135
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 9: in the door with him.

136
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: At least my entire career was timing. Okay, everything explain well.

137
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 5: I mean, the way things worked here is similar to

138
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 5: what Skary was saying, because I was I was a

139
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 5: promotions guy for a second, and then before Greg T,

140
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 5: there was another morning show idiot, and so they had

141
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: me driving him around when he went out to do

142
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 5: goofy things. And then that show all got fired and

143
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 5: Elvis came in and I was already kind of doing that,

144
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 5: so I started doing that for Greg T. And then

145
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: they started slowing Greg T down a little bit. This

146
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 5: was before that we were syndicated. What year was that,

147
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 5: like two thousand and seven or something like that. Yeah,

148
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 5: and so they got rid of me. I was not

149
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 5: on the morning show for about six months. I had

150
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 5: to work in promotions like put on a real clothes

151
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 5: and stuff like that.

152
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: Enter Miami.

153
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I wasn't gonna last that much longer. And

154
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: then thank god, Miami came on board and like, oh, Scott,

155
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 5: he's here. We need you to run the show because

156
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 5: we're going into syndication. So it's just everything was just timing.

157
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 5: You know, All along my entire career, I've never actually

158
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 5: really like gone for anything. Everything just kind of happened

159
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 5: for me, which was I mean great, I guess, but

160
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 5: sadly it's probably not gonna happen the way in the future,

161
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 5: so I better get my shit together.

162
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: Yes you should, so, Gandhi. So like you, You're like me,

163
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 4: You kind of bounced around. If this opportunit it didn't

164
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 4: come up, would you have taken another opportunity elsewhere? You know,

165
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: do you think you would have ended up here? Was

166
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 4: this your ultimate goal or did you want to? I

167
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: don't know just where opportunity took you.

168
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: I think if you're working in radio, your goal is

169
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: definitely to get to New York City, right because it's

170
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: the number one market in the country. So for sure

171
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: I would have I mean, I was happy actually where

172
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: I was until until this opportunity came around and everything

173
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: went to shit.

174
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: That was crazy.

175
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: But it was good there until it wasn't. So I

176
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: was cool in Boston, and I actually had just signed

177
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: a long term contract to be there for a while,

178
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: and I mean, I would have taken other opportunities, but

179
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: I was still really happy in Boston. I mean, it

180
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: was it was fine. I never thought this would come around.

181
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: I actually applied to this job a long time ago

182
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: and I got an email back from somebody that said,

183
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: you're great, we love your demo. You're too young. That

184
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: person to this day will say, I never said you

185
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: were too young. That's an HR violation. Have the email,

186
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. And this is it came around.

187
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 6: That's right, So you could have been on our show

188
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 6: like as early as like twenty and twelve.

189
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 9: It's yeah, that's right, what if it, because maybe it

190
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 9: wouldn't have worked out then, So.

191
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: I feel like things because she was too young.

192
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 6: Well that's where the cream line comes in because cream

193
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 6: coming fry.

194
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: To use the word creepy, it really does. You don't

195
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 4: have to say it so many times. Scary to the

196
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 4: top of everything.

197
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 5: Okay, you love candy Man song everything, the frog and

198
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 5: the froth.

199
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: Of the of the hot chocolate.

200
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: I don't know. Scary, yeah, I know you well, I would.

201
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 9: I don't think I would have been here if I

202
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 9: had gotten my final audition in Disney World and gotten cast.

203
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 9: Because while I was interning here, and while I was

204
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 9: working behind the scenes and answering phones and and you know,

205
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 9: working my way up doing things, I was auditioning for

206
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 9: Disney World, and I made it to the final cut,

207
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 9: and then I found that I was cut. But my

208
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 9: mom always says, it happens for a reason, Right, There's

209
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 9: a reason you got cut from Disney because you wouldn't

210
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 9: have had this career and Bible.

211
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 5: I'm like, if I never saw that glory hole in Albuquerque,

212
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: I might not be here right now.

213
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 3: So what about the facts.

214
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 6: We'll call it the talent, having the talent, having the timing,

215
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 6: and is there anything else other factors involved.

216
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 4: With gott He said it during the show. Your network

217
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 4: is your net worth? Right, Like I think back to

218
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: how I got here, and it was you know. Talent

219
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: was a part of it, Timing was a part of it,

220
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 4: but honestly, a big part of it was who you know?

221
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 7: You know?

222
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and it's you know.

223
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 4: That's the one thing I will tell anybody starting in

224
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: this business is make friends with everybody, because you don't

225
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: know who is going to be in a position to

226
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: help you in the future.

227
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 9: That is the one thing when I go and speak

228
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 9: at different colleges, I say, First of all, I say,

229
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 9: try to intern wherever you possibly can in a business

230
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 9: that you want to wind up in. So if it's

231
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 9: something you're passionate about, try to intern at that place

232
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 9: that you would like to wind up. But the other

233
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 9: thing is ask around if you can help. When I started,

234
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 9: I asked every department at the radio station, Can I

235
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 9: help you? Can I help you? Can I do anything?

236
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 9: Can I do anything? And I would get in at

237
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 9: five am and I would leave at five pm. And

238
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 9: I wasn't getting paid anything because interns back then we

239
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 9: didn't get paid anything. Now they get paid.

240
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: That's that's a bonus contention because I I I'm the

241
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: same way like now everybody's like, well they need to

242
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: be paid, and there I showed up at I'm like you, Danielle,

243
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: I showed up at five am. I stayed all day.

244
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: I'd chomp on my days off because you know what

245
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: that is what it took back then.

246
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, and you wanted them to.

247
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: Say if you did get paid for.

248
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 4: That though, But I wouldn't be where I am if

249
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: I didn't do.

250
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 9: That right, because I feel like at to some point

251
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 9: they were when they're thinking of a position, they go, oh,

252
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 9: you know what, so and so she's always around, she's

253
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 9: always helpful. Maybe we can get her to help out,

254
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 9: you know, and and stuff like that. I mean, I

255
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 9: got my start because of my bronx accent. I think

256
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 9: because Tom Polman. He the other girl that was on

257
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 9: the show with Sharon, she did something that was bad

258
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 9: and they got rid of her, and he said, hey,

259
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 9: we love your bronx accent. Let's try you in there

260
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 9: and see what happens. And that's how I got in there,

261
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 9: which was amazing.

262
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: Danielle.

263
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 8: Do you think that accent was what held you back

264
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 8: from the Disney audition?

265
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: No, not at all.

266
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: Did they tell you or No, No, they.

267
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 9: Said that when you go and when you go in

268
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 9: audition for Disney, they tell you right out, we are

269
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 9: not looking to build a show around you. We're looking

270
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 9: for to place you in a show that's already there.

271
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 9: So they're looking at you when you come in and

272
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 9: blah blah blah. And if you don't fit the bill,

273
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 9: they're very honest about it. And I kept going, kept going,

274
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 9: and then the final audition and then they said we

275
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 9: will keep you on file just in case, but just

276
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 9: so you know. So they're pretty honest about their casting

277
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 9: and stuff.

278
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 6: And Danielle, you know again, you and me and Greg

279
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 6: T having been here a year and a half before

280
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 6: we got that full time job. Yeah, it was we

281
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 6: built the who you know, the network while we were

282
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 6: in the building. You were an intern, was Greg T

283
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 6: and I were being paid five dollars an hour for

284
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 6: our jobs.

285
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 9: It was five four twenty five, what you know.

286
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: And then you know, it's crazy, But that's crazy.

287
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: That sounds like like the Great Depression?

288
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 9: Is it?

289
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 4: Totally? No?

290
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 6: No, But then but then everything changed and but again, yeah,

291
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 6: we all graduated that same month that they blew up

292
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 6: the morning show and Elvis moved to mornings.

293
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: Had that timing been off, it could have been other

294
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: people in our place.

295
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 7: Yeah.

296
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

297
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 9: My mom kept telling me to quit, and we didn't

298
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 9: send you to college to make four twenty five an hour.

299
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 9: And I kept saying, my dad was fletched, just wait

300
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 9: and see what happens. And I waited and it turned

301
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 9: out turned out great.

302
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: He was freaking out.

303
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 6: You're putting all this wear and tear on the cap,

304
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 6: You're paying more and tolls and guests than.

305
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: You are getting paid. How is this going to be

306
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: a future?

307
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: But you know, I think that you guys have ruined

308
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: the path for other people in this building as far

309
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 2: as how they think it works. Yeacause I think a

310
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: lot of people in this building think, well, look at

311
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: the entire morning show. So many of them were there

312
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: from the time that they were fifteen sixteen. However old

313
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: you guys were seventeen eighteen. I'm going to do that.

314
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: But that's not how it actually works for the majority

315
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: of people. You got to get out of where you started.

316
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: You could come back, but it's very rare that it

317
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: actually works out the way it did for all of

318
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: you guys.

319
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 5: I always tell people, it's just not normal. Our The

320
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 5: way things all worked for us is just not normal

321
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 5: in this business. Or any other quite fit.

322
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: It's an anomaly. Yeah, yeah, what about you, Garrett?

323
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 8: Well, I mean I just I went to a bowling

324
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 8: alley and saw all this and go, I want to

325
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 8: be an intern and he goes, Okay, that's what really happened. Yeah,

326
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 8: that's how it happened. Then they came to hang out

327
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 8: one morning and then he goes get college credit. So

328
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 8: freshman year, I walked in and they go, get out

329
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 8: of here. You got to be a junior. And I

330
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 8: go give it to me, and they gave me an

331
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 8: internship credit. And then that's how it started.

332
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 6: Yeah.

333
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: Don't do you.

334
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 2: Guys think, you know, we always laugh that Elvis has

335
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: this collection of misfits, and when you look around, he

336
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: definitely does. Do you guys think that all of the

337
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: things of places told you was not good about you

338
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: and you needed to change, or the things that he

339
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: saw and were like, I.

340
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 9: Love it, Give it to me one hundred percent. When

341
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 9: I was in college, they told me I had to

342
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 9: lose my bronx accent. They were like, you're never going

343
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 9: to make it on the radio with your brother. They

344
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 9: made me put a pencil in my mouth. My bronx

345
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 9: accent is what got me my job, and what's kept

346
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 9: me around. Well, one of the things that I think

347
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 9: has kept me around for so long when others have left.

348
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 9: You know, certain things like that, like the new that

349
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 9: I am a true New Yorker when they were trying

350
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 9: to get rid of that park.

351
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 6: You're giving me, you're giving me PTSD because it's the

352
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 6: same thing as like you're from Brooklyn.

353
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: You need to enunciate, pronounce your words. They gave me

354
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: the pencil in my mouth too.

355
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 8: And how you say squirrel or or squirrel, say squirrel

356
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 8: with the finger in your mouth, with the finger in

357
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 8: your mouth.

358
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: Everything squirrel.

359
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 6: But that's exactly what you know. That's what Elvis saw

360
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 6: in us. I guess it's like this is perfect real

361
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 6: need is the imperfection is perfection.

362
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 9: Mm hmm it is.

363
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: I got told you're not nearly girly enough to be mainstream.

364
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: People like to talk about hair and makeup, and you

365
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: don't do that, so you're really missing mass appeal. You

366
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: like to talk about dorky stuff. You are brown, that's

367
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: a totally different thing than anything we're used to. And

368
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: then you come here and all those things, yeah, scary

369
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: for real, all those things that people told you were

370
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: never gonna work. They work here, and you kind of

371
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: you gotta love them for you're.

372
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Also very too young here, young, too young.

373
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: He's lots of people scared.

374
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: Somebody, And if I tell you his name, I'll tell

375
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: you off the air. You know who he is. He said,

376
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: if you were a white girl with blond hair, I

377
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: would have hired you five years ago.

378
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 9: But we are.

379
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: That's not what people want to hear and see. And

380
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, cool, Oh my god. But you

381
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: know what I used to think all the time, because

382
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: that would happen all the time whatever. As long as

383
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: it's something I could never change about myself, I'm okay

384
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: with it because that's just me. And if you don't

385
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: like me, you know, like me. But if it was

386
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: something thing like changeable, I might have tried to change it.

387
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: So that is what it is.

388
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 4: But even even aside from like the accents and uh,

389
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 4: you know, skin colors and ages and stuff like that,

390
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: I think we all here have that drive that we

391
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: would have succeeded no matter what we chose to do,

392
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I think we all have

393
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: it within us that hey, if I put my mind

394
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 4: to it, I'm going to succeed. I'm going to put

395
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: the time in, I'm going to learn the things I

396
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 4: need to, and we all would have succeeded. I think

397
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: that's why we're all here at the core.

398
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 9: Moxie, I would have been a damn good Disney princess.

399
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 4: You would have scary, would have been a very creamy

400
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: whatever trothy. All right, are we done?

401
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 6: Oh?

402
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: May we gave him a bonus today? Oh we did?

403
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: How long did we go?

00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: Sixteen and a half.

405
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:50,640
