Now, what do 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.840 you mean? Well, we we did one Thursday, we did 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:32.159 one Friday right last week, then Monday and our Thursday again. 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.479 That's three less than a week. Yeah, man, you think 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.279 that would be boosting our numbers, putting us, catapulting us 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.520 into the top ten of the I Heart Radios Podcast 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.879 of the Week. I gotta say brook Podcast Podcast of 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.080 the Week the week. Yeah. By the way, I'm so 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.640 freaking stressed. Look at me. I know you look stressed. 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.960 Do I look very stressed? I haven't shaved in three 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.800 four days now? And for an Italian guy who gets 0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.720 five o'clock shadow at one o'clock and the star looks 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.400 like him, the exactly, it's bad. It's bad. And now 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.360 here right I'm looking at I'm going a beard. Now, 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.240 are you stressed about the nams? No nom but not 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.680 my My mom's like food doesn't stress me. Food act 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:17.760 the nominations, nominations, no noms, the noms. Yeah yeah, that 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.920 but that that's that's like number three on my stress line. Well, 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.480 well let's talk about that. Let's open with that. I 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.880 hate to open on a negative. Brody's like to start. 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.640 I just like to start happy and and screaming, like 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.360 in a rant. That's how the podcast really should go. 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.440 But I gotta come out right here in the top 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.760 of this I'm human, listeners, I am, I am. This 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.000 is more about the slices they got. Let also, I'm 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.920 angry but not surprised. If you go back to a 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.319 previous episode, you will hear me predict that we are 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.840 not getting nominated for the I Heart Radio Podcast Awards. 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:57.040 Nominations came out earlier this week. If you watch the 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.360 first season of Survivor, it was a new show. Nobody 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.320 knew what it was, nobody wanted a volunteer for it. 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.240 You look at the cast, Richard Hatch, Sue Rudy rest 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.959 his soul. It wasn't an attractive cast. It was overweight people, 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:16.600 Harry Older just you know, we're basically an experiment. Experiment 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.200 it was. It was the beginning, the humble beginning. Let's 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.280 put on some weird people who are dumb enough to 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.000 want to go onto an island and wipe their butts 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.600 with leaves and then the show was a six show 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.200 was a huge hit, and what do they do in 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.000 the postmorte? Then you look at second season, third season, 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.400 are they doing the postmort and they have the meeting 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.160 and like, next season, we're going to do it bigger, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.720 like all eyes all eyes are on us now season 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.000 season two of US Survivor. Oh, let's get a hot 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.040 blonde and a girl with big boobs. Let's make sure 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.799 that this one only wears bikini. Let's get some hot people. 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.960 Right then the third season hotter. Then they're just like, oh, 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.200 I gotta go hot on. They're just l a plastic 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.480 right now. Now that's now, there's some big survivors got 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.040 some right, but only because they got so big. Now 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.079 people will watch and though there's ugly people, but to 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.840 build it up, they had to go. And that's what 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.280 the Heart Radio podcast, our own company, stabbed us in 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:11.840 the heart. We were not nominated for anywhere. If you 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.760 google I Heart Radio Top one hundred podcasts, which is 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.480 what I post on Instagram every couple of weeks when 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.480 we move up to charts. We were twenty nine, we 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.720 were we were fifteen, right, we we've done, We've done well. 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.040 We've done extremely well, and it's thanks to you guys 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.480 for listening.

Joe Rogan beat us by a votes. So 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.320 you thought, well, you look on the top one Heart 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.800 radio podcasts.

But for the for the second tier, 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.279 third tier folks like you and and and me, uh, 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.160 where the top no named podcast people from our company, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.839 we really are, or we're second, we're in the top right. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.520 And as far as comedy podcast we figured it out. 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.680 We looked three or four depending on the week, in 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:47.599 the kind of the entire company comedy podcasts. Yet for 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.640 the Comedy Podcast Awards, they want Hollywood on us. It's 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:57.680 also well, it's a lot of celebrities it experience find 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:02.839 Joe Rogan's a monster in this industry, the Ron Burgundy podcast, 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.960 that's Will Ferrell, Will Farrell Comedy Bang Bang, very established, 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.839 uh internet comedy division company Conan up Brian needs a 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.679 friend not I Heart Radio. By the way, it doesn't 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.480 matter because it's these are neutral, these awards, and then 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.480 a couple of us I've never even heard of. I'm 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.400 not going to promote him here because then, you know 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.920 the thing is I love Conan. You know I love Conan. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.359 I write comedy one of the reasons because of Conan. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.240 But but is he bust in his ass every week 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.960 to do podcasts? Is he even is he even going 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.520 to promote He's going to promote the podcast awards on 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.640 his podcast and say, hey, guys vote for me, right? 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.800 Probably not right?

I dressed up 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.040 and now this year, but we don't. We don't have that, 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.919 we don't have. I was all so very surprised hold 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.880 on that we didn't get nominated in another category. We 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:09.120 easily could have won Best ad Read. Yeah, best ad read? 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:15.000 Who does better commercials than us? Best Wellness and Fitness Podcast. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.320 We should have been in there be how we know? 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:22.160 How about the best um uh inappropriate product endorsement right, 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:29.159 best best rant category not nominated?

Oh and how about this the best green podcast? Well, 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.599 I don't need anything green. That's why we didn't get nominated. 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.960 We could have won for our deal episode we didn't get. Yes, 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.719 we could have did not get nominated for Best Male Host. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.279 By the way, there was Best Male Host, Best Female Host, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.760 but we're two. There was no Best like Hosting duo 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.360 and by the way, best TV and Film podcast, My 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.840 Walkers and Talkers podcast not nominated. Let me ask you 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.240 a question, the best would podcast we have, our our 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.320 friends serial Killer Scotty being Andrew not nominated. Our audience 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.480 is called the Slices. We could be a food podcast. Now. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.920 Let me ask you a question if you if one 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.480 of only one of us got nominated for Best Male Host, 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:20.040 would you be upset if you got nominated and you didn't. No, 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.040 I wouldn't. No, No, alright, good, no, No, I really wouldn't, 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.520 do you know, It's not It's not like that for me. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.280 I've never been that guy. I do want the podcast 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.920 to succeed on any level it can. Any kind of 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.280 notoriety we can get would be great. But if we 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:40.640 can't get notoriety from our own company, our own company, 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:44.600 come on, people, comedy bag bang. I want to be 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.520 I want to I wanted them to fly me out 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.880 there again and have a great weekend, a good time, 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.680 you know, rub elbows with the big wigs. You think 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.200 you think, uh, Conan O'Brien is showing up to the 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.960 I don't. I think that's their hope. I mean, I 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:02.720 think I think by nominating celebrity. They're putting the Podcast 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.480 Awards in a different stratosphere. They're gonna bring some l a, 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.760 some some glamor glitz, some Hollywood, Hollywood injection to the 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:15.120 Podcast Awards, and I understand that too. It's a marketing play. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.320 We also did not get nominated in the Podcast of 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:23.120 the Year award. Again, they could have thrown us a bone, 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.040 a bone throw us in. You know what, Let's see 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.960 who got nominated. The Ron Burgundy podcast. By the way, 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.560 I think he did eight episodes, that's it. He pre 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.559 did them, put them all together like a day that 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.640 I'm just saying, we don't don't foul fan. And by 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.160 the way, and we're not knocking his podcast because I'm 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.120 just saying he's on the side of busses. I get 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.680 why he was dominated. He's a massive star, Ron Burgundy, huge, 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.840 but he's in there. Conan O'Brien needs a friend, not 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.320 only for best Podcast. I'm gonna have to listen to him. 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.480 My favorite murder stuff you should know, that's always huge. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.600 Joe Rogan experience. They created podcasts, the people and stuff, 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.880 you know, right, I mean those a legends, legends, legends, 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.439 legend industry, legends. By the way, this was this Mark married. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.920 By the way, he's there for I think either Podcast 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.199 of the Year or Best Male Host. Mark Marin's a 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:20.040 legend in the industry. Right well, anyway, this is a sound. 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.559 I spent ten minutes on this. I don't mind losing 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.240 the Will Farrell. And by the way, you can't say, well, foul, 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.520 it's Ron Burgundy. I don't mind losing the Will Burgundy. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.800 Ron Burgundy. Yes, I would just like to be included 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.360 in a category. It would be nice, It would be nice. 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.880 But it must be nice to have Burgundy on your side, 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.959 you know. But alright, alright, so so so so we're done. 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.600 All right, we're done. We're that part, but we can't 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:50.400 really That was our gripe session. We're upset. I'm I'm upset, 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.559 just to say you're upset than I am. I'm upset. 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.440 I'm just rare but not surprised. Again, I predicted that 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.839 we were going to get snubbed because I knew it. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.439 We're gonna they were gonna go all l a in 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.520 Hollywood with it. Because again, first year was more of 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:07.080 an experiments that let's just if you if you people 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.600 together nominate, if they had said, we're going all new, 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:14.560 no repeats. Okay, the Tony Awards do that. They it's 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.360 always got to be like a new Broadway show. Right. Well, 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:19.800 see that's the that's the scam of the Tony Awards. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:24.360 I'm gonna blow. I've already bloodcast Tony Awards a scam. 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:25.959 If it's your first episode, I know you listen to 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.720 order if it's your first episode. The scam of the 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:33.880 Tony Awards is that once someone, anyone, wins an award 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.920 for a role on Broadway, that role can never win 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.439 a Tony Award again if you play let's say, Alexander 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.599 Hamilton's and Linn Manuel. Right, you caught the reference I 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.079 made a minute ago, right, Yes, there was. You're quoting 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.440 Hamilton's Zone, all right, well no it's a song from 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:55.199 so yeah. That means how good you are can never 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.680 win a Tony for playing Alexander. That's why all new 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.880 how the New probably shows are the ones that nominated everybody. 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.839 That's because every show is Tony would nominated. Because eventually 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.040 and everything they run out of shows that were nominated. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.400 Everything is a New York Times best seller, right, Lots 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.880 of books get on that list. So I would it 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.640 would be nice. So I feel like, could we no 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.760 longer be nominated we didn't win, Well, we could. We 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:20.160 could definitely say that, hey we are we are still. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.160 We don't have to say the year and and listen, 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.000 the expression is it's it's it's it's his rewarding just 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:32.559 to be nominated now, just well we weren't right last year, 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.720 that was our slogan.

I just 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.720 got a call from my parents just before we started 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:22.840 this podcast, and they said, Anthony, I just want to 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:27.040 thank you. The guy did an amazing job. You never 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.720 know he was here. You can't tell they were any wires, 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.520 can't tell of any trace of anything. You can't tell. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.280 I mean, it is beautiful. He's and the picture is 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:40.520 crystal clear. Sloman's is the best hit.

They couldn't 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.640 help you do an amazing job. And I gotta say, 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.920 he apologized to me. But let's take a step back. 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.880 All parents just like that. I don't ever want to 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:07.680 become that. Will you lose all sense of rationale? I said, Dad? 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.880 Would I steer you in the wrong direction? I am 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.400 giving you on a silver platter and you're gonna get 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.880 an amazing deal. Why would you? Why would you question 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.320 your son? I'm your son? But they they were screaming 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.920 and yelling at me. You this was like, this was 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.640 a catastrophe for an hour yesterday. Argue. I'm like, don't 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.400 you embarrass me. Let them do the job, Dad, Please 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.960 don't send them back. They're gonna send them back in 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.960 the truck. I said, no, no, I said, con you 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:34.760 got you gotta trust me that they're going to do 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.080 the right thing by you. And they did, and they did. 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.360 It always comes out and they always apologize to me 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.720 in the end. Your your mom is not like that, 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:45.360 or she is. She's like that with something. She trusts 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.480 me on most things. But you know, when you get 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.520 to a certain age, change is not like hearing that. 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.280 It always starts with that. When you get to a 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:58.920 certain age, you become less patient, distrusting, even at your 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.840 age scary. There are things that you would like when 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:02.520 you were younger, you would be like, oh, I never wouldn't. 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.720 I'm never gonna think that way. But she started thinking 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.040 that way. I never thought i'd watch cable news when 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.439 I was younger. Now watch I watch a couple of 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.359 hours every night. Because do you like your priorities changed? 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.240 Like what I know? But I always want to be fun, 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:15.720 and I always want to be open minded, and I 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:17.800 always want to be and I don't ever want to 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.480 I'm not. I don't want to turn into them. That's 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.520 a terrible thing to say. I don't want to. I 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.400 don't want to have the the way that the mind work. 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.399 You know, my mom has been in the podcast. You 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.280 know she's cool. She has an iPad, she's got a knifehone, 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.840 the whole thing. Um. But her first response is always 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.760 what do I need that for? What do I need 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.560 that for? I I got what I have is good. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.920 So she gave me a fifty all the gift card 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.439 to Amazon. Not for me, it's hards but I I 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.200 do all the orderings. I have Amazon Prime, and so 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.000 whatever she wants, she sends me a link and says, 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.600 order this for me. So I order it with hard 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.520 gift card. She pays for a nice shipator also use 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.960 my Amazon Prime whatever. So she gives me a fifty 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:55.560 all the gift card. She says, put that in the account. 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.720 If I need anything, take care of it. So she's 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.840 got some more TVs in every room, but for some reason, 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.680 one of in her bedroom, the Samsung TV, won't log 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:10.600 on properly.

I may 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.680 have an old one laying around the house, and I'll 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:21.000 give it to you because it's not four K and 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:22.960 all my TVs are four K now, so I'll give 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.080 you the one that's regular high definition. She's, uh, yeah, 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:27.879 if you think I need it, But like I have 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.520 enough television. Mom.
