Speaker 2: The Elvis Duran after Party.

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: Let's do it another after party podcast. We got a

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: full room. We got Scotti in another room, but we

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: still have a full room in here. There's Scary and

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: the Gandhi's in another room. Hello, she's in Columbus, Ohio.

00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 3: Hi.

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: So let's start with Leilani if if we can. Okay. So,

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Leilani is an artist. Not only is she an intern here,

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: but she's she does many things. Tell everyone if they

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: haven't met you, what exactly your artistry is all about?

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 4: Yeah?

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: So I make alt pop question mark, it's just under

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: my name Leilani Pitau.

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 4: It's like if a.

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: Singer songwriter got hold of a drum machine and just

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: what nuts is how I like to describe it?

21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So basically she's told us absolutely nothing.

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 4: Hey, you gotta you gotta tune in and listen.

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you actually got a gig offered to you

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: here in Manhattan, right.

25
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: Yes, which is not once in a lifetime, but it's

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: definitely big for me.

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: But the unfortunate.

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: Model of the show is that if I don't sell

29
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: at least ten tickets, I might be cut off the bill.

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 4: Here's the gag.

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: It's four hours, ten bands, we all get three songs.

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: Tickets are twenty dollars. Okay, so I have to beg

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: on my knees to all my friends twenty dollars to

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: see me play three songs.

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Otherwise you will be cut from the show.

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: Yes, Like they'll put me at the end of the show.

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 3: And if someone goes over Leilani's cutch.

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they had. That's how they do it

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: with a lot of things like that.

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you think they could.

41
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: They want you to bring the people in and if

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: you don't, yeah, gone.

43
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all about poll nowadays.

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 5: Can you just say it when you first get started

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 5: in the business, this is not unusual, right, it really isn't.

46
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to do the leg work for

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: the venue, bring the people in. You're there to play.

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: You are an artist. Well she's not established quite yet.

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: Where she's established, it will be a whole o the world.

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's the thing. These are like showcases. So

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: it's people who are just starting out. I lament back

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: in the olden days, people just drunkenly got up on

53
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: stage and did whatever, and all of a sudden they're

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: Patty Smith.

55
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: Well no, but see you've moved on to another level Gandhi. Yes.

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: So does it work in the opposite direction where if

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 3: you sell thirty tickets you're going to move up and

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: they'll give you more space or is that it? Yeah,

59
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: the more tickets you sell, the better the time slot

60
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: you get. So like if you sell like like fifteen ish,

61
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: they'll put you at a prime spot around eight. Everyone's there,

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: everyone's happy, drinks everywhere, but if you're bad, you go

63
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: either at six pm or right at nine fifty.

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, is there a drink minimum?

65
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: No, it's an eighteen plus.

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Shows all tickets. So let's say we gave you three

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: hundred dollars cash right now, and you got fifteen tickets.

68
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: Right well, I would just start handing it out to

69
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 3: my friends. I'd be like, Elvis Duran paid for your ticket.

70
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: Please please, please, please please be there.

71
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: When is the gig.

72
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: Coming up? It's coming up?

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we'll give you three hundred dollars. Yes, I

74
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: mean are your friends. I mean they're colleges friends. I

75
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: mean they don't have any money, right, yes, No, what

76
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: if we paid three hundred dollars and we just moved

77
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: you up, we're your manager.

78
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: I like that.

79
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 4: Oh, that'd be wonderful to finally have management.

80
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 6: Subsequent question, is this like a school talent show where

81
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 6: I can just show up for you and then leave?

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: Well, it's technically not a school like a real venue.

83
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I get that. But if I'm showing

84
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 6: up because I'm one of your quote unquote ten people,

85
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 6: I don't have to stay for the rest.

86
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: No, not at all.

87
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the average person shows up for the one fifteen

88
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: minute set and then like goes out in the west

89
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: village and it's done. Most of the bands don't even

90
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: stick her out.

91
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I paid six hundred dollars. If I give leave,

92
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: we kids, Layni. We want to see you perform, But

93
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't see any of those other people. Please. If

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: this is how they get them in there, you know

95
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: they have no talent. No, of course, You've got all

96
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: the talent the world. All right. Well, so that's how

97
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: it works, all right.

98
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: So you're gotta give her the money that she'll give

99
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: the tickets to her friends. Yes, so that she can

100
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: fill it and then you'll get a better slot.

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: Hey, that'd be fab I would love that.

102
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm can't you negotiate like a portion of the door

103
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: or a portion of the bar sales since you are

104
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: being a salesperson and you're bringing in all these people.

105
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 4: Well that's the.

106
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: Stupid part is that ten guarantees you get on and

107
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: then after that you get if the tickets are twenty,

108
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: you get like ten of every ticket after the first test.

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: So you do make some money, Yeah, get some cash back.

110
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, it works out.

111
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Hold on, now I'm giving you money directly.

112
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm here scamming you guys out of money.

113
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: Now, the crappiest deal I've ever made. Anyway, It's all

114
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: a part of paying your dues.

115
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 4: Yes, Hey, Sabrina Carpenter started somewhere.

116
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: I gotta I don't think she paid this.

117
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: I don't think she ever had to do this kind of.

118
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 6: Take into account non tangible things like if you're talking

119
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 6: about this on a national radio show, will they bump

120
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 6: you up a little bit higher if you talk about this.

121
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: Oh you have to say the venue the night?

122
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, you read to promote it on your social media.

123
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: We call this a value.

124
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: Yes, well, actually the dollar amount for this would be crazy,

125
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: more than six hundred dollars for Elvis have.

126
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 6: Your own show.

127
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: At this point, I should I should send them this

128
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 3: little clip and be like, so put me at the

129
00:05:59,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: prod James.

130
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: We're very careful not to give the name of the venue.

131
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 4: I don't want to get in trouble, and so far.

132
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: We have not made an agreement with that.

133
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: If you bring them this clip and say look at this, listen,

134
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: and then say, if you agree to give me a

135
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: better slot and some more cash, we'll mention you.

136
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: Can we say there's illegal. I'm pretty sure that's.

137
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: She's an intern.

138
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, this doesn't work here.

139
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you have to keep in mind we're talking

140
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: about a major difference in value. I mean they're talking

141
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: about filling that place up and making a couple of

142
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for the venue. The value added we would

143
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: give you would be like fifty one hundred thousand dollars

144
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: maybe even more.

145
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: Mention.

146
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty expensive stuff.

147
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 4: Hey, any big deal here?

148
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? As an intern, I'm already getting to be on

149
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 3: the radio, like I've hit my peak.

150
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 4: It's not getting higher than this. I've called it.

151
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: Well, that's sad.

152
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: I got to keep my expectations low. You never know

153
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: what happened him higher.

154
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Let's think about this after the podcast. Let's let's think

155
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: about this after we're done here. We'll take a break

156
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: and listen, listen, negotiate. Let's come up with some business

157
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: plan activity.

158
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: That's good. I'll call my booker. It'll be great. I'll
