24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: bonus on top of what we already did. Around the

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: table is Bethany, and there's Scary, and there's Dave Brody,

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: and there's Danielle. You know what other than Great Tea

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: and no other than Great Team, Scotty B not in

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: the room. This is the other than Bethany, the original

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: cast from twenty one years ago. All right, so, in

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: other words, has nothing to do with the original cast. Okay,

31
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: So if you took out Bethany and you brought in

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: Great Tea and Scotty B. This is our original twenty

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: one year old family. They're both here. You want to

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: bring them in or should we leave the mouth of

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: the room. You know, this would be a great an

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: opportunity for Bethany to ask us questions about our only

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: one years on the show? Do you hold on? Remember

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: the old studios where we used to throw food in

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: the back? What was that? What was that called videos? Videos?

40
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: We throw food in the back and they would video

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: it and then they'd have a huge party where we

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: would watch the video where Garrett has joined us. So

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: now it's not it's you have to leave. No, he

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: does not stop it alright, one, But Garrett has been

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: with the show since the very beginning, because he was

46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: listening to us since the very beginning. He's not really

47
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: like old, You're like an outside old of the show.

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is we can let Bethany ask

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: us questions about our history, because even though Garrett hasn't

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: been with the show for twenty one years, he's been

51
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: a part of our show for it. Yeah, nineteen of them. Yeah,

52
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: so great, tea. What do you think the theme of

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: our show is today? I don't know. It's a lot

54
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: of people here, but what a most of the people

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: in this room have in common. Everybody's on the morning

56
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: showd Good Start, Good Start. I guess we're a big family. Well,

57
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: everyone who's been here for the entire twenty one years

58
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: is in this room. Yes, there we go together. And

59
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: Garrett has been listening for twenty one He's been with

60
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: the show almost twenty one years, since he was a baby. Cool.

61
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: He grew up on the show, so Beth and he's

62
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: really the only new schooler. Scotty b you've been here

Speaker 1: for all twenty one years. All right, so go ahead

64
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: ask us questions about our twenty one years in services.

65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: You remember the first time you met Danielle? Yes, I do.

66

Speaker 1: working here. I was answering the phones for Elvis show

80
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: when he was on in the afternoon, and we had

81
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: these phone requesting banks where you actually people would call

82
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: into a phone number and I would sit there and say,

83
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: hi's one hundred, what song would you like to hear?

84
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: And can I date you? And all of a sudden,

85
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Greg T is being escorted by the music director of

86
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: ZE one hundred. At the time, Greg T is wearing

87
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: a three piece suit with a double breasted jacket and

88
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: the vest and a vest, and I'm like, what the

90
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: this is Greg T. This is Greg at the time,

91
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: and he were just showing him around. You know, he's

92
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: being interviewed today, and that was your first day. Well,

93
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: you know, Mom always said, if you're gonna go for

94
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: an interview, you gotta try to make the best first

95
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: impression possible. Let's talk about how different our lives would be,

96
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: including you, Bethany, if Greg Tea had not been hired

97
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: that day, or if Scary hadn't been hired that day,

98
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: how different this whole world would be for us. Yeah,

99
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: it's true, it's uh yeah, I can't. I actually can't

100
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: imagine the show without you guys, without any like one person. Now,

101
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Scotty is the most quiet on the show because he

102
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: does a lot of the producing, producing for the Z

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: one side. So you're not on the show a whole lot, right, So,

104
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: but you've been here as long as as the Core,

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: the Core family, that's right, since day one. So what

106
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about being twenty one years on this show? Well,

107
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I mean, I worked with Greg

108
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: t for probably eighteen of them. Give us your thoughts

109
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: and let's talk about what you did a great tea,

110
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: because that's a fascinating story. Yes it is. Well, I

111
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: mean it's first of all, it's amazing that we have

112
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: all been together for so long. It's just it's incredible

113
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, there's no profession where people are

114
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: in the same you know, company for so long, let

115
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: alone all with the same people. And I think that's

116
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: the best part about it, because we truly are a family.

117
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: We like most of each other for most part, you know,

118
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: I like you guys. We spend more, we really spend

119
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: more time with each other than we do with with

120
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: our actual families. You know, usually it's true our blood families. Yeah.

121
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: Well is now, I'm assuming you've brought everybody in here

122
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: to fire one of them. So if you had to

123
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: fire one person, you have to contractually obligated. If you

124
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: as to fire one person from the original cast, who

125
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: would you fire? I wouldn't. I can't answer that fed them.

126
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: I think we'd be fired already if you think about it.

127
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 1: He fired all the other ones. Give him a break.

128
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: So anyway, so Greg T used to be the quote

129
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: unquote street guy. We can I tell you the first

130
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: time I met you. You know how many stories can

131
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: we start at once? Well, I just want to but

132
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you it was so cool because

133
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't know if everybody knows, you know,

134
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: I grew up, you know, fan girling over you because

135
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: you were doing the afternoon the portion of the radio station.

136
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: So you used to do this really cool thing on

137
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: fry Days where you launched everybody into the weekend. And

138
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: as a kid growing up, like I never heard anybody

139
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: do that kind of radio on Fridays. It was so cool.

140
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: So like when I got my driver's license, the first

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: thing I did on a Friday, my very first Friday

142
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: at age seventeen, was I got into the car and

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: I went and I sat in rush at rush hour

144
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: traffic on the highway so that I could crank it

145
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: up and listen to you launched us into the weekend.

146
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: And I wanted to look around and be like, Wow,

147
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm driving a car, I'm in rush hour on Friday,

148
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: Like it was so cool. So going to the radio

149
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: station and like, remember they had a little peep hole

150
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: that you can look in the window and see the

151
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: DJ inside the booth. Like I remember looking at you

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wow, that's the Elvis Durana right there.

153
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: Like I couldn't believe, like my eyes because you know,

154
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: as a as a person listening, you only could imagine

155
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: what the DJ looks like. So to actually go in

156
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: and see you and I'm like, what's it was so cool.

157
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: And then so then when I found out that you

158
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: were doing in the morning show and that you were

159
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: gonna be the head of the morning show and then

160
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: I could work with you, I was like, wow, somebody

161
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: pinched me, Like this is super freaking cool. So that's

162
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: my little he wishes he never came. He wishes never

163
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: admit me that that was a long time ago ago.

164
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: So great Tea used to be the street guy. Every day.

165
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: He would have to go to the streets of New

166
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: York or or the suburban parts of New York City

167
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: and do things like stunts like roll down hills in

168
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: in in bubble rap or you know breaking Yeah, we're

169
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: breaking into Martha Stewart's house or whatever every day. So

170
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: we didn't trust him to drive himself because he well,

171
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: he couldn't. He didn't know how to do He didn't

172
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: know how to maneuver streets. And you know what else

173
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: else When we first Hurtle on the show, no one

174
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: really cared. And all of a sudden, as we got

175
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and more popular, a lot of people,

176
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: right Scotty, people would come out all the time. So

177
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: he was our ambassador on the streets. Because we were

178
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: only a New York radio show. He was our ambassador

179
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: on the streets. So Scotty was his on his producer

180
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: slash driver. There was bailor out of jail on many occasions.

181
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: You actually bailed me out four times, four times. You

182
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: two have like a different relationship than I think anybody

183
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: else on the show because you have all of that

184
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: time spent in cars. Scotty would drive him everywhere bettany

185
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: and he would sleep, sleep, he would sleep, He would

186
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: sleep the entire time. He would wake up and do

187
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: his bit and go back to sleep. He wake up

188
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: and throw trash out the window. Well it started it

189
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: started going south at one time when he threw garbage

190
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: out the window, and I jammed on the brakes because

191
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: he never wore his seat belt either, and his head

192
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: hit the dash board, so he punched me. He punched me.

193
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: I got out in the middle of the street and

194
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: I walked back and I just left. It was the

195
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the end. Yeah, it was. It really was

196
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: that the protein. That was the Yeah he was That's

197
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: when I was going to the gym. I was all

198
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: hyped up in all kinds of men were popping, stackers

199
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: were stopping. Remember he bought the drugs out of some

200
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: guy's trunk in his neighborhood. Has worked together all during

201
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: the nineties when like f DA rules were very loose

202
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: about various vitamins and minerals, right, and they were that

203
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: day one of those months. Well, anyway, it was a

204
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: very dysfunctional relationship between Scotty and Great Teeth. Great Team

205
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: was just an asshole. You really were. You would you

206
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: would throw garbage onto the street and litterally, and of

207
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: course we had Not only was it bad enough he

208
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: was littering, but he was littering out of a truck

209
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: that had the Elvis Durand show logo on it, and

210
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: he used to pee and windshow wiper fluid bottles and

211
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: throw him out the window. And then he would have

212
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: to call into the hotline, and I would answer the

213
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: phone and have to get him ready to be on

214
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: the air. And half the time I have to tell

215
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: him what was going on because he was listening to

216
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: Howard in the van and he was listening to our show.

217
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: Howard was exciting. I asked me if I missed those days,

218
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: I really wonder how you lasted this long. I have

219
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: no idea myself, but here's my question. May ask a question. Yeah,

220
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: then we have to talk about how Brody worked here

221
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: for over a year for free. Is it easier now

222
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: or harder now? Because there's it is such a different landscape.

223
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: There are more people on the show. There were in

224
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: more cities. There's more to be aware of. It's about

225
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: the same, it's a it's a different show. Different for me,

226
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: It's easy. It's always been easy because I never really

227
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: did anything. I just kind of show up and everyone

228
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: else does the work and I go home. You know,

229
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: when we first started the show, it was Elvis and

230
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Elliott in the morning, and Elliott had all the morning

231
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: show producer experience, so he basically set up the skeleton

232
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: for the show every day, and so I would just

233
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: kind of tag along. And then when he left, I

234
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: had to like step up to the plate and we

235
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: had to sink or swim. And I decided to do

236
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: the show a certain way and it worked. I actually

237
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: made some decisions for a while and it worked. But

238
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: now you know, I just say yes or no, have

239
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: an opinion, and go home. It's easy. And I used

240
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: to book the guests, all the guests for the show

241
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: back then, right, and I remember Elvin's he he didn't

242
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: want anybody on the show, and Elliott wanted everybody. He

243
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: would have people on this show that did the dumbest

244
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: ship and we were like, why did we book them?

245
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: Because Elliott wanted them. He he just wanted, like go

246
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: to some of the weird guests. They would just dumb,

247
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: like a foot doctor would be on for no reason,

248
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: like just dumb stuff. But we would have like five

249
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: guests in one day because he wanted all these games.

250
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: I hated it, and I would be at home. We

251
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: sent car service at the time, so I would be home.

252
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: And this was the time where you didn't have your

253
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: your emails on your phone and your everything on your phone,

254
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: so I would be in the middle of the night,

255
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: my phone would ring and it would be somebody who

256
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: needed a car service book or I would be shopping

257
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: and I'd have to go to a pay phone to

258
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: make sure that the car service was confirmed for tomorrow.

259
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: It was crazy. For Daniel, It's it was more difficult him.

260
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: So Brody was hired to work on our show as

261
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 1: a writer, and uh, we didn't have a budget. I

262
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't use the word hired. As a matter of fact,

263
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: it was Elliott that brought David on board. I didn't

264
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: like David Brody. I didn't want him here. I had

265
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: no That is actually true. I had no I had

266
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: no use for you for me on the show. You

267
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: were here for Elliott. Well, the funny thing that you

268
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: say that, because the reason I'm here and the reason

269
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: I kept coming in the morning is because of you,

270
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: even though you may not. Yeah. So the short story

271
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: is I I had been writing song parodies for radio

272
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: stations around the country, and I thought, I listened to

273
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: Elvis and Elliott, they play parodies, I'm gonna send them

274
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: a cassette, And so I sent a cassette and I

275
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: left a voicemail message on Elliott's voicemail and I said, hey,

276
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: love the show. I love to add to the show.

277
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: Called me back. He called me the next day. Scary

278
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: called me two days later and wanted a demo. I

279
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: put it together. They said, come hang out in the studio.

280
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: They said, just stand in the corner. Don't talk. Elvis

281
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: doesn't like anyone talking in his studio. They scared me,

282
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: They said, don't just stand in the corner. So I

283
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: stood in the corner. Elvis saw me in the morning.

284
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: That's where you got your name. Yeah, guy in the

285
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: corner in the corner. So Elvis saw me in the morning,

286
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: came in a Scary studio. He says, oh, Brody, yeah,

287
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: we love the parodies you've been sending. Again, great work.

288
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: And then he walked out and I was like, he

289
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: seems really nice, and Scary goes, don't be fooled. Don't

290
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: talk in his studio. So I sat in the corner

291
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: and I I just listened to the show. And at

292
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: the time, I was writing jokes for Jay Leno. So

293
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: I was scribbling on a napkin some jokes and uh,

294
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: Elvis looked over and goes, Brodie, what are you doing

295
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: over there? And I was afraid to talk because he

296
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: they said, don't talk. I said, I'd straight and jokes

297
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: for Jay Leno. He says, let me let me see those.

298
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: And he looks it and he goes, looks at Elliot,

299
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: gives it Talliot and hell, he looks and he goes,

300
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: that's funny. He goes, all right, Brodie, you're gonna stay

301
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: in my studio. Get him scrap paper right now. You

00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: write jokes for me while you're here. Right. He got

303
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: paid in scrap paper. We had no money for it.

304
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: So you worked for us for over a year here

305
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: in four months with the wife and kids. Yeah, my

00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: wife said, this is what you love. Quit your job.

307
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,360
