Speaker 1: things going on today. First of all, welcome, We're gonna
Speaker 1: be welcoming a friend of ours a little later on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is and by the way, just so you know,
Speaker 1: when you hear the interview, this is all time shifted.
Speaker 1: We recorded this on a separate day, right, and so
Speaker 1: we already know it's a great interview. Yeah, because we
Speaker 1: already recorded it. Right, you're gonna here. We're gonna play
Speaker 1: it back at the end of this part of that.
Speaker 1: You can jump ahead, but we'll we'll introduce and explaining
Speaker 1: interview when we get to it. But it's long, but
Speaker 1: it's worth it. Yeah, and it's we can tell him
Speaker 1: who it is, well, you know it's in the podcast descriptions.
Speaker 1: So it's Anthony Kumia from from a radio show that
Speaker 1: went was nationally syndicated. It was a huge show in America,
Speaker 1: but especially in New York from that's fifteen years and
Speaker 1: also if you're if you listen to us here in Boston,
Speaker 1: you might remember them from there. Out on Long Island
Speaker 1: was where they got their start, of course, but they
Speaker 1: were on serious satellite radio and mornings and afternoons in
Speaker 1: they feuded with Howard all the time. They were kind
Speaker 1: of a big deal and uh, little did we know
Speaker 1: there was a lot of drama going on backs behind
Speaker 1: the scenes. The co host didn't like each other for
Speaker 1: most of the time they worked together. We got a
Speaker 1: little behind it. I mean, they did a show much
Speaker 1: different than the others Train Morning show and I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a fan, but Brody you are and I said it,
Speaker 1: you are a super fan. So I I actually at
Speaker 1: the time, uh signed up for satellite radio because to
Speaker 1: hear their show. And they're great guys. But Anthony specifically,
Speaker 1: who's going to be here? He wrote a book called
Speaker 1: Permanently Suspended because he gets fired and suspended from job.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. If you don't know who Anthony is,
Speaker 1: even if we just described into you, well you didn't
Speaker 1: like the show back in the day, irrelevant. This is
Speaker 1: a funny interview with a guy who just bears his soul,
Speaker 1: talks about everything. We had a lot of fun with him,
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys style. He laid it all out on the
Speaker 1: tip And so if you ever wondered what a radio
Speaker 1: a show sounds like, that does really crazy stuff that
Speaker 1: we would never get away with on on the air. Uh,
Speaker 1: It's it's a nice little look into the world of
Speaker 1: radio and the fact that he was feuding with his
Speaker 1: co host all time, and that text message, I'll forget
Speaker 1: about it all right. Luckily you and I get along
Speaker 1: for now. But I do, as always, have a bone
Speaker 1: to pick with you. Of course you do. Is it
Speaker 1: a turkey like a wishbone or something. It's about cheese Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: It's about cheesecakes. There's an Italian restaurant near our radio station,
Speaker 1: right is Peppolino's Pepino Pepolinos and by the way, with
Speaker 1: a name like Peppolinos. You know, the food is good, right,
Speaker 1: the food is great. But it was a point where
Speaker 1: I had never been there. We had moved into this
Speaker 1: area to these studios, and we were here for years,
Speaker 1: and every time Scary and I walked by this place,
Speaker 1: he said, you know, the cheesecake is one of the
Speaker 1: highest rated cheesecakes in New York. It's true. And I
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, yeah, and you told me jus famous
Speaker 1: cheesecake right here. But this place has got is the
Speaker 1: gat rating. It's okay, And every every time we would
Speaker 1: pass it, secare we go? You know this play? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, you know like that that's thing,
Speaker 1: you know, like that all your old uncle. Every time
Speaker 1: you see him, he's like, remember that story with the
Speaker 1: gum when you were five. That's what he's scared with
Speaker 1: this cheesecake. So about a year ago we finally got
Speaker 1: to eat there. Elvis took us all there for a
Speaker 1: going away party for our friend Ronnie. So good, so good, right,
Speaker 1: six eight months ago. That was the last time he
Speaker 1: spoke to you, boy, Ronnie. Right, yeah, that dick, And
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get him on the phone. Still he wouldn't.
Speaker 1: By the way, you know that he saw the miscall
Speaker 1: the other night. They when we were trying to get
Speaker 1: him on the phone. Right, he still hasn't call me
Speaker 1: back when he screens your calls. All right, So ball
Speaker 1: freak Rannie was going away party. We go there and
Speaker 1: I knew to have the cheesecake. When you walked in,
Speaker 1: there was a big cheesecake on like the waiters area,
Speaker 1: like the prep area, like when because they must sell
Speaker 1: so much of it, they haven't ready. Okay, So of
Speaker 1: course Scary starts in with you know this places the
Speaker 1: best cheesecake. All right? We all got everyone's hurting story
Speaker 1: and then everyone's eating cheesecake. Is that the best cheesecake?
Speaker 1: It does plays famous with cheesecake. We've cheesecake the funk
Speaker 1: out of the cheesecake. Okay, so you're at s Our show,
Speaker 1: Well you've heard on this podcast. She leaves the show.
Speaker 1: She moved out to l A. So we went to
Speaker 1: last week. We had a good bye lunch for by
Speaker 1: lunch for her, and of course the minute we were
Speaker 1: walking over there, scary, tell everybody you got cheesecaked Gandhi
Speaker 1: Gandhia I newest member. Gandhi Italiano cheese, Italian cheese, so
Speaker 1: light area and if you're not from the northeast, it
Speaker 1: means Italian Ricotta. We pronounce anyway. Okay, okay, So we're
Speaker 1: all stuff in our faces and we're like, oh, we
Speaker 1: don't even move with dessert's get discerned the cheesecake, you know.
Speaker 1: And it's like we know, we know, because after like
Speaker 1: the thirty nine time per day, it's like we know
Speaker 1: that the point is the problem with can I get
Speaker 1: excited for food? You always get excited a vote. The
Speaker 1: problem is you the cheesecake can't be as good as
Speaker 1: the recommendation you give every time we walk by the place.
Speaker 1: Every time one everyone to taste what I'm taste right,
Speaker 1: but we should go. Hey, try the cheesecake out here.

Speaker 1: to buy a couch and you sit on the couch.
Speaker 1: You go, who the fuck is buying this couch? Because
Speaker 1: it's so awful? Right, you got like you go to
Speaker 1: say like you expect to go like and fit in
Speaker 1: the couch, and then you sit like on concrete and
Speaker 1: it goes boo and it stops you short. Okay, nobody
Speaker 1: wants a couch like that's my girlfriend, she hates the
Speaker 1: couchch Well, but well, why are you doing around the
Speaker 1: couch bringing to the bed? Hey? Can we can we
Speaker 1: go back to the time. By the way, what are
Speaker 1: you doing your girl on the couch? Do you point
Speaker 1: out that it's uppresso? You know this couch is a suppresso.
Speaker 1: Stop that shut up, Anthony, keep doing it, listen to me.
Speaker 1: But hey, come on all right, back to back to
Speaker 1: the couch. Couch by the way, f you obnoxious color guy,
Speaker 1: it's brown blue. No, it's it's when you get clote.
Speaker 1: When you got on the catalog online, did you this

Speaker 1: just want just bought jeans and I went with the
Speaker 1: colors Brody, So I bought, I went and back. I
Speaker 1: went to American Eagle. I tried them on and then
Speaker 1: I looked on retail me Not, which is a great
Speaker 1: app and it showed me that they will online sales only,
Speaker 1: so I had to go and buy them online. But
Speaker 1: I had to try to remember what they are. So
Speaker 1: there's medium wash light tinted wash, which is like authentic light.
Speaker 1: Is that dark rich indigo you've never seen, like like quartz,
Speaker 1: That shirt is quartz. It's it's that red. No, but
Speaker 1: that they use fancy names. They shades of everything, shades
Speaker 1: of authentic. What is authentic light as opposed to light
Speaker 1: tint is that light tinted isn't even light. It's dark,
Speaker 1: but not as dark as the dark rich in. They go, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you could have colors like quartz and slate and
Speaker 1: and and emerald, I can have. I just want to
Speaker 1: buy blue, red and great. Can have an espresso couch anyway,
Speaker 1: it's brown. My couches there, My couches there for aesthetics.
Speaker 1: And it's modular furniture. It's modern contemporary living. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: so so that's a lot of words, not modern contemporary living.
Speaker 1: Who calls the furniture that it's modular? It's got his
Speaker 1: fit in my apartment. My apartment has a very specific
Speaker 1: dimension to it. I can't go to fucking Raymored Flannagan
Speaker 1: doorways and doorway listen. Raymored Flanagan has made there there there.
Speaker 1: Furniture is big and bulky and made to hold to

Speaker 1: a tellwagon the dog go. We get back to the open.
Speaker 1: The refrigerator bangs into the couch. You make a lot
Speaker 1: of money. God. Back to Brian. So Brian, com don't
Speaker 1: you want to stay your shitty apartment? Still small? Okay?
Speaker 1: He comes here because it's free, that's why. And if
Speaker 1: it's for free, it's from that's a hashtag. If it's
Speaker 1: for free, it's for me. That's how we feel. Anyway.
Speaker 1: So Brian comes over and he does this every time.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you have a friend that
Speaker 1: does this or if you've ever done it growing up.
Speaker 1: I have good friends. This is what he does. He
Speaker 1: goes out, he sees all his friends at night, gets drunk,
Speaker 1: ties one on, and he comes home to my apartment
Speaker 1: and at three o'clock in the morning, somewhere in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night, he broke a tooth on the couch.
Speaker 1: I jumped ahead, I'm sorry. He goes into my bathroom
Speaker 1: and he falls asleep on the toilet, still softer than
Speaker 1: your couch. Hashtag toilet Brian, hashtag toilet bed. He literally,
Speaker 1: he literally comes in and I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: He gets drunk. When he's drunk, he will come in
Speaker 1: and he will go in the bathroom and he will
Speaker 1: sit on the toilet. I've got pictures of him in
Speaker 1: Vegas because we shared a hotel room together. At at
Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning, I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 1: I walk it. I walk into the room and I'm like, Brian,
Speaker 1: are you there? And he's not in his bed. He's
Speaker 1: got his own bed. We'll share a room and the
Speaker 1: fucking guy is in the bathroom with the door open. Well,
Speaker 1: he can't only see much because he's like, you know,
Speaker 1: covering he's but he slumped over and he's he's on
Speaker 1: the toilet. I have pictures of Brian on the toilet.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna post post it. Okay, pictures of Brian. Okay,
Speaker 1: picture of Brian toilet on the toilet. He does it everywhere.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I said, Brian, you
Speaker 1: gotta stop this. Are you sleepwalking? Here's the worst part.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even he doesn't even go into the bathroom.
Speaker 1: He just sits on the toilet, pulls his pants downs
Speaker 1: it's on the toilet, and leans over and slumps over,
Speaker 1: and he falls asleep in that position for hours. The
Speaker 1: good positions, the toilet is comfortable. Well, why does he
Speaker 1: do that? Now? Last night? Thing? Hold on before you
Speaker 1: call him. He went out with all his boys, right,
Speaker 1: didn't invite you? Did he? Pretty much? Wow? He's somebody
Speaker 1: which is worse? Which is worse? Uh? Your boy? Uh?
Speaker 1: Who doesn't return your calls? R answered the phone? Oh
Speaker 1: this guy who uses me. I'm gonna call him right now.
Speaker 1: I'm calling him right now. We call him toilet, Brian, Hey, toilet.
Speaker 1: There's no way he's answering. He's on the air right now,
Speaker 1: isn't he's a former? No, No, he's at my apartment day.
Speaker 1: He's here all week. Why would he answer the phone.
Speaker 1: He can be making collect calls on your phone. He's
Speaker 1: probably still distance. The guy passes out and he doesn't
Speaker 1: wake up for hours. I'm over for two here. Ronnie
Speaker 1: would answer my calls? You have the worst friends? What
Speaker 1: is it? What does his phone number come up? Ass?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm gonna call him again. It's a
Speaker 1: call from different number. Anyway, The point is this. I
Speaker 1: don't know if toilet Brian needs an intervention. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I should just let him to sleep on
Speaker 1: the toilet. You know, I say it's you know, Mikasa sukasa,
Speaker 1: but he takes it to a whole new level. This guy,
Speaker 1: he really does. Let me get him right now. You
Speaker 1: got him on the phone. I can answer your apartment phone. No,
Speaker 1: I'm calling his house. I'm calling his line again. You
Speaker 1: should call Ronnie and Briant and see if we'll it's
Speaker 1: out to the place a bed. Who's gonna see a phone?
Speaker 1: The two voice mails will be talking to each other
Speaker 1: because they're not. Neither one of them is answering my
Speaker 1: calls to This is wasted time on a podcast. Your
Speaker 1: friends don't like you. What is I'll put this? They
Speaker 1: don't want to answer my fucking call. I think it's
Speaker 1: your couch truthfully, okay, anyway, toilet Brian, he this is
Speaker 1: what I don't know. But where have you passed out before? Drunk?
Speaker 1: Where have you? I mean, isn't a toilet bowl? Just
Speaker 1: slumped over a weird place? And you think he might
Speaker 1: have a secret fetish with that? Does he dream about it?
Speaker 1: And I think you sit down with the intention to
Speaker 1: go into the bathroom before you go to bed, so well,
Speaker 1: he could have peen, he could have flushed, and he
Speaker 1: just sits there hours in a time. Did I do
Speaker 1: that when I'm awake and sober? How is he up?
Speaker 1: How has he hurt his back? I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying it's just a little weird for me. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this is what happens. This is a Thanksgiving traditions from me,
Speaker 1: the holiday traditions. Honest, my friends come in and they
Speaker 1: use me for my toilet and my bed and my
Speaker 1: and my freaking and my my. Again, don't mention couch
Speaker 1: because they don't use it for that. Absolutely, don't. I think.
Speaker 1: I think if we put up a pole, you should
Speaker 1: put up a pole on Brooklyn. Boys, wtf would you
Speaker 1: rather have a comfortable couch or a magazine worthy couch
Speaker 1: because you did not buy that couch for comfort, but
Speaker 1: I wanted to look nice when people walk in, so
Speaker 1: then they don't want to sit down though. You know what,
Speaker 1: you can't have it both ways. You get yourself a
Speaker 1: big leather couch with double recliners, and that's people like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Corny's not right. Now most of our audience
Speaker 1: has them. I have them. I'm sure they do of them,
Speaker 1: I know, but I want to hit the button on
Speaker 1: the side, put my feater up. My mother and father
Speaker 1: have that. I can lay down. The armrest is a
Speaker 1: pillow done after Thanksgiving, me a meal off, watching the
Speaker 1: football game, and then you push on the armrest and
Speaker 1: it reclines. Nothing better than that. I would never have
Speaker 1: that in my apartment. You will never see that. You
Speaker 1: want to sit on that hard brown espresso couch. You
Speaker 1: sit down, your pants fall and you're like stuffed, but vomit.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I want a nice looking apartment. I want
Speaker 1: everything to look beautiful. I'd rather be comfortable beautiful. So
Speaker 1: so you know what, you sack your Felix on Oscar
Speaker 1: and the odd couple. Okay, so so be it that
Speaker 1: that's the case. By the way, I want a public service.
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to just want a public service. I
Speaker 1: want to give everybody a public service announcement for Thanksgiving Day. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: this has bothered me, boggled my mind actually for several years,
Speaker 1: and every every Thanksgiving morning I issue the same tweet.
Speaker 1: There are so many people brodie that are fooled. They
Speaker 1: don't realize that by pre Brian Turkey. Nope, that on
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving morning when they go watch the parade, people don't
Speaker 1: realize it. But only NBC has the official rights to
Speaker 1: the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. So what is what do
Speaker 1: they get? They get Al Roker and everybody and Savannah
Speaker 1: whoever is they're They're all sitting there and they have
Speaker 1: all the attention on. They got front and center, they
Speaker 1: got the best view, they got everything. They show you
Speaker 1: the entire parade. They are, they are the officials. They
Speaker 1: show you the head on when the when the parade
Speaker 1: float stops in front of Macy's and they performance of performances.
Speaker 1: By the way, those were filmed in August. Well, I
Speaker 1: know know something. You know not when the floats stops
Speaker 1: in front of Maze, it's all lip SYNCD. It's all taped.
Speaker 1: That's lip sync. But no, but but no, the visual
Speaker 1: of the float coming down and the artists on the
Speaker 1: float is live. No, no, no, no no, it's live
Speaker 1: until I get to the front of Macy's and they
Speaker 1: cut the old footage of people singing. Those people are
Speaker 1: gonna sing in the cold. You can't see their breath
Speaker 1: and you can't see their breath. It was taped on
Speaker 1: No no, no, the the audio soundtrack is, but not
Speaker 1: the video. No no, no, oh no, it's all taped earlier.
Speaker 1: We've talked to artists that no, no, no, no, no, no, Brodie,
Speaker 1: you're getting it. They filmed, I'm telling you, they filmed
Speaker 1: months in advance, months, no months. When you on Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: morning when you see those floats coming down, and then
Speaker 1: they say, all right, and now here's Michael Bublet on
Speaker 1: this float. Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Singing acts prerecorded, They
Speaker 1: prerecord the vocals, the audio is prerecording. No, but no,
Speaker 1: but Brodie, you still can't see their breath because their
Speaker 1: lips sinking. So you're but that lip sinking is done.
Speaker 1: Even when you when you lip sink, you breathe and
Speaker 1: and cold air comes out. You're wrong, Brodie, b You're wrong.
Speaker 1: But but that we had we had a band on
Speaker 1: here that admitted that they taped it ready. I think
Speaker 1: it was one direction when they were still together, they said,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we already recorded. Might be one or two acts,
Speaker 1: but the majority of them are live. But that wasn't
Speaker 1: my point. You always divert me. I never divert. My
Speaker 1: point was, oh, did you see what they have? An ken?
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I was that was a joke because I diverted.
Speaker 1: It's all good. But my point is this on Thanksgiving morning,
Speaker 1: everybody's watching NBC except for those people that don't realize
Speaker 1: that they're getting a bootleg version of the parade on CBS.
Speaker 1: Hey is NBC a sponsor? I don't know about No Brody,
Speaker 1: I'm being honest, And people listening to this podcast on CDs.
Speaker 1: The parade is called the Thanksgiving Day Parade, and their
Speaker 1: cameras and their footage advantage point is like like from
Speaker 1: a fucking rooftop that they convinced somebody to let them
Speaker 1: like hang out there for a while. I get it,
Speaker 1: it's not they don't get and they don't get the performances.
Speaker 1: They don't get the and now here's the rockets. They
Speaker 1: don't get any of that. Maybe maybe get the soundtrack.
Speaker 1: They don't get any of that. They get their reporters.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are like, why am I
Speaker 1: watching balloons go by? But there's no performances. This is
Speaker 1: boring this year. So every Thanksgiving morning I issue a
Speaker 1: tweet that says, Hey, everybody, the macy Thanks Parade is
Speaker 1: on NBC. They're the ones with the full rights to
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Question, And then people are thanking me
Speaker 1: on Twitter for pointing that out. Be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I was watching CBS the whole time. CBS gives you
Speaker 1: a boot like all the other channels give you a
Speaker 1: bootleg version of the parade because they're not they're not
Speaker 1: the actual people that are sponsored every question. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: you have an appearance on Thanksgiving Day? Right? Correct? Uh?
Speaker 1: And uh you get paid a little extra because it's Thanksgiving. Yes,

Speaker 1: going to Oh you're such a chill No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: When I'm talking about, Oh, they would never performing. Hey,
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell you is this, there are
Speaker 1: people that get it wrong. How do you not know
Speaker 1: that this is about I don't think it's amazing thing,
Speaker 1: that it's a major thing. People. Okay, people switch all
Speaker 1: up people, you know what? The balloons go by and
Speaker 1: with no performances, which by the way, are done right
Speaker 1: then and there, but their lip SYNCD they are not
Speaker 1: done in August. I don't know what you're talking about, Brodie.
Speaker 1: They prerecord all the voices and some relations, but not
Speaker 1: that they're telling you. Sometimes the artists can't be there,
Speaker 1: so they prerecord it, so they prerecord video of them walk,
Speaker 1: you know, flying down, they roll the thing up, so
Speaker 1: they so they block off four street us for that

Speaker 1: the street for us for a jingle Bowl announcement ing announcement.
Speaker 1: They blocked off the street, Brodie, they're not recording video

Speaker 1: the way, when you see that, it'll only be on NBC.
Speaker 1: It won't be on CBS video. You are so thick
Speaker 1: headed sometimes, but I'm right, you're wrong no, the voices,
Speaker 1: they don't sing, they lip sync. That's done in advance,
Speaker 1: but not the video. The video of them coming down
Speaker 1: the street is done right there, Al Roker is pointing

Speaker 1: And for those of you don't remember, I think we've
Speaker 1: talked about it. It's Chris Steakhouse was in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: I think, and Ruth bought it. So it's it's it's
Speaker 1: harror because you don't want to change your name because
Speaker 1: it was established already as Chris Steakhouse, right, so it's
Speaker 1: Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, not Ruth Chris. Yeah, Ruth's. You tire
Speaker 1: me out. You just read the sign sometimes people. So
Speaker 1: we have some email that we've been holding off on,
Speaker 1: but we could continue to hold off on it. We
Speaker 1: because we we have to interview Anthony Kumia. We have
Speaker 1: that coming up. We do. I have some bad resumes
Speaker 1: and then he'll say this for next time. I do
Speaker 1: have a bunch of tweets that I wanted to get
Speaker 1: to and I think I have a quick a quick
Speaker 1: rand told on a second. Oh, bathroom towel soap guy.
Speaker 1: We talked about this guy for a minute. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom and you're in a swanky place, right,
Speaker 1: and they have the guy in there, the bathroom soap guy.
Speaker 1: He's the Franquent Skuy. He's got he's the guy who
Speaker 1: gives you a score. Hes just he's holding he's holding
Speaker 1: the soft soap. But he was. Now do you remember
Speaker 1: before soft soap when it was just bar soap? No?
Speaker 1: Did they What did they do back then? They just
Speaker 1: hand your bar soap? I don't know they unwrap a
Speaker 1: little like I feel like there was always a time
Speaker 1: where there was flower shaped soap, liquid soap. There was
Speaker 1: always liquid soap. Really, you think your father was using
Speaker 1: liquid soap in the shower when he was fifteen. Maybe
Speaker 1: they didn't have bathroomintendance then then maybe those people all
Speaker 1: they have you seen these bathroomintendants they still from when
Speaker 1: you fallow to stand hold on a second. You mean
Speaker 1: to tell me that when people would go to bathrooms
Speaker 1: and restaurants and bars, they had bar soap only in
Speaker 1: these places that's unsanitary. To the Chinese restaurant used to
Speaker 1: go to until I was had kids had a bar
Speaker 1: so they all share. That's disgusting. I didn't use it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so good. So missed sometimes and sometimes you're
Speaker 1: you're feeling like fancy you go to place and they go, sir,
Speaker 1: would you like a napkin and a little towel or
Speaker 1: they give you a little hot towel, towers they throwing
Speaker 1: a hamper. Those guys I'm good with. But when they
Speaker 1: go into the papper towel to spencer and hand your
Speaker 1: pepper towel and to give a little squirt, I could
Speaker 1: have done it myself. And you try. So when we
Speaker 1: went off with the corner O'Brien thing, they had a
Speaker 1: guy in the bathroom. Right, little squirre the guy, tell
Speaker 1: squirt guy, and so the right there were four sinks
Speaker 1: at sinc number one to the right, closest to the door,
Speaker 1: he had little jar candies hit the tip jaws. Right,
Speaker 1: he had his little that's a whole other topic bathroom
Speaker 1: candy about it. But I don't know if I want
Speaker 1: they got. So I go to the sink on the left.
Speaker 1: Two reasons. One, I don't need his service. I'm good
Speaker 1: right now. Two, I'm in a hurry. Three I already
Speaker 1: know I have not a dollar in my pocket. I
Speaker 1: have no money. So to save the guy the trouble
Speaker 1: from working for free, because that's rude, I go, no,
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm going to sick number four. I'm going
Speaker 1: to sink one. He's a sink four right, I read left, right,
Speaker 1: sink one's on the left. I am a Jew, but
Speaker 1: I don't this is in the Hebrew sink. So I
Speaker 1: go to the first one and I'm like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get my own soap. He comes flying in like a condor.
Speaker 1: Who is here, sir, that's what he's there. He's hustling
Speaker 1: every day. I'm hustling, damn hustling. So I go, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, and I washed my hands. Now I'm taking
Speaker 1: a really long time to wash my hands and hopes
Speaker 1: he'll go to somebody else. Nope, it hopes someone towel, right,
Speaker 1: And this way you can and I can grab I
Speaker 1: can grab a towel from the towel to Spencer next
Speaker 1: to me, because he's got the one next dam And
Speaker 1: I saw I'm waiting for the guy in the he's
Speaker 1: in there. He's not coming out. The guys in the stall.
Speaker 1: I hear him flush. So I'm like washing my hands,
Speaker 1: washing my hands, and he's looking at me like, you
Speaker 1: motherfucker just finished washing your hands. I can towel your ass,
Speaker 1: and I don't want him. A towel makes out every money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of all reasons to not tip, it's always that one.
Speaker 1: For me, it's I don't have I don't have anything
Speaker 1: in my way and I feel like that and I
Speaker 1: feel like that's a fifty cent kind of tip. I
Speaker 1: feel like for a squirt and handing me a towel,
Speaker 1: that's a dollar I give the guy. Okay, it's a dollar.
Speaker 1: How much do you give the guy for bringing you
Speaker 1: a car round at a valet? Three dollars? Three? Whoa, whoa?
Speaker 1: Three dollars? Now I know I don't have a bigger apartment.
Speaker 1: You read how much do you give to the valet?
Speaker 1: Got two dollars? Like there's a big difference. There is
Speaker 1: a difference because two dollars is twice what the regular
Speaker 1: average person gives. They give a dollar. I supposed to
Speaker 1: give a dollar for valet. And you drive a fancy
Speaker 1: cost you give extra money cause you have a fancy car.
Speaker 1: I think three dollars. And let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: If I'm at a fancy event like a wedding, or
Speaker 1: if they know that I'm scary Jones, I'm giving them five. Okay.
Speaker 1: What if you go to a wedding and you're causing
Speaker 1: like the third spot, and he walks over agains, you
Speaker 1: call him boom right there, drives ten feet, You get
Speaker 1: him five bucks. It's not about the distance he put in.
Speaker 1: It's about it's it's just about etiquette. It's if I
Speaker 1: see my car that close, I go, he's gotta What
Speaker 1: if he's gotta run around the block and it takes
Speaker 1: him fifteen minutes to retrieve your car. He's technically gone
Speaker 1: a long distance, but really gotten has given you worse service?
Speaker 1: Or did he drive my car on the block four
Speaker 1: or five times, speeding it with the hemim all over
Speaker 1: the place. So you're charging him for gas now? And
Speaker 1: I think that the longer distance he goes, the longer
Speaker 1: and inconvenience it is. And let's just say an average
Speaker 1: cars up front, I'm paid a top dollar. You're you're
Speaker 1: an idiot. Why he had you know, he's he's he knows,
Speaker 1: he's considered. He's like, you know what your time is valuable?
Speaker 1: Your front thirty seconds, boom boom, here's your car, buddy
Speaker 1: that service with a smile. That's five bucks. That's he
Speaker 1: did nothing. What if he's not even the guy who parkeded?
Speaker 1: Oh come on, and don't tell me they pull the
Speaker 1: tips because there's no proof of that. I so you're
Speaker 1: telling me, let's say, average tip two dollars, average tiptoo dollars. Okay,
Speaker 1: you admit three dollars, a little overboard, average tip is
Speaker 1: two dollars. Are you telling me that getting going to
Speaker 1: walk to a car, protecting it and driving all the
Speaker 1: way backing and opening the door for your wife, for
Speaker 1: your girlfriend, and let you go, sir, here you go,
Speaker 1: give your keys and fancy spancy treatment. Hold on, let's
Speaker 1: say it's two dollars. Okay, let's say it's two Is
Speaker 1: that really? What is that? Are you saying the soap guy,
Speaker 1: paper towel, soap guy is really worth only a dollar
Speaker 1: less than that? Like? Is he really worth that much?
Speaker 1: If the car guys getting too for doing all that
Speaker 1: work going up the elevator to get your car, bringing
Speaker 1: it around, make sure he doesn't scratch it. He's got
Speaker 1: your he's got the life of your car in his hands.
Speaker 1: He scratches that car, it will never be the same.
Speaker 1: That guy gets two three dollars, And the scuirty hand
Speaker 1: soap guy with the towel, paper towel, scorty paper towel
Speaker 1: guy gets a buck. I don't know about that. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: well that's a service. I don't So. Then here's there's
Speaker 1: a certain excited want so so then okay, compare it
Speaker 1: to what if I want to want to go to
Speaker 1: a restaurant. Guy grabs my coat and I have to

Speaker 1: the hairline wouldn't be receiving be increasing. We both actually whatever,
Speaker 1: whatever you are, you you gonna do any tailgating? No,
Speaker 1: well that means you're not going to any jet you've
Speaker 1: given up in your jets already. No, but can I
Speaker 1: tell you my daughter went to a football game, a
Speaker 1: college football game, for the first time, and she tailgated.
Speaker 1: So of course I said, now, now she's eighteen. So
Speaker 1: I said, now, wait a minute. If you tailgate, you
Speaker 1: only do two things. You eat hot dogs and sausages,
Speaker 1: or you drink. And you're a vegetarian. Why can you
Speaker 1: have both? Hold on first story? And I said, and
Speaker 1: you're a vegetarian. So she gave me the look like
Speaker 1: the cat that swallowed the goldfish. And I said, and
Speaker 1: I know you didn't drink it eighteen, so it must
Speaker 1: have been a bo time for you. And she's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: boring you. Well, if you're going to a tailgate, we
Speaker 1: recommend a specific hot dog for you, and that would
Speaker 1: be people already know if you didn't, just if you're
Speaker 1: listening to this and you didn't mouth the word Feltman's,
Speaker 1: you know when you start coming, my mouth is water
Speaker 1: with Feltmon's right now, Feltman's hot Dogs. There's no nitrates,
Speaker 1: no nitrites, no filler in there. This is a clean
Speaker 1: tasting hot dog. It's so good and it doesn't have
Speaker 1: that salty after taste like other hot dogs have. They
Speaker 1: come in a package. They come in a package, right,
Speaker 1: there's a selling point right to store and they're thrown
Speaker 1: all over the place package and then not that though.

Speaker 1: and he wrote back, sorry, I guess I'm too far
Speaker 1: back still episode fifty seven of the Brooklyn Boys. You
Speaker 1: said lats were your laterals and then corrected yourself right
Speaker 1: after looking it up. So I wrote back, dude, we
Speaker 1: have rules here on the Brooklyn Boys podcast that was
Speaker 1: five weeks ago, almost six weeks ago. I don't remember.
Speaker 1: You know. What happens? We do a scar and I
Speaker 1: do the podcast right, we stopped rolling on the podcast,
Speaker 1: we go We're from Brooklyn, the jingle plays whatever. Then
Speaker 1: we go into the computer and we upload it, and
Speaker 1: then Scary and I have to write a description, and
Speaker 1: Scary says, what should we call this episode? And we
Speaker 1: go what do we talk about? I don't remember, because
Speaker 1: we we forget about what we talked about in the
Speaker 1: last ten seconds. It's already in the past, right, so
Speaker 1: you expect us to remember something weeks weeks I'm like,
Speaker 1: what lateral? And and so then I tweet him I going, dude,
Speaker 1: I don't remember what we just talked about five minutes ago,
Speaker 1: sad He writes back, you know what, I vaguely remember
Speaker 1: you guys mentioning that on the podcast. Don't bring up
Speaker 1: stuff from five six weeks ago without mentioning what it is.
Speaker 1: If you had said, hey, I'm on fifty seven blah

Speaker 1: flashed back to David Brodie David Brodie's rant on vanilla
Speaker 1: milk hashtag it's just milk. I got a good laugh.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's just milk. It's just milk. It's not
Speaker 1: vanilla milk. There's no vanilla in it. Now, don't tweet
Speaker 1: me and say I poured vanilla milk. Yes, if they
Speaker 1: put vanilla in, it's vanilla milk. But regular milk is milk, right,
Speaker 1: It's not white milk. Oh, it's not white milk, by
Speaker 1: the way, Trace The correction is it's not white milk.
Speaker 1: If they have vanilla milk at Walmart, this person was right,

Speaker 1: because it's the Country Music Association Awards. Now that's on them.
Speaker 1: They they did that deliberately. They could have called it
Speaker 1: the Country Music Club, the Country Music Group, the Association
Speaker 1: and you call but but saying the CIMA Awards is correct.
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure they used this. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: they used to be the CMAS. I think back in
Speaker 1: the day. They're just the Country Music Awards Awards of
Speaker 1: the Awards Awards. Caitlin Caitlin Gutierrez at O h K
Speaker 1: Y two at David Brodie, This takes the cake. My
Speaker 1: local burger king has two brooms taped together with red
Speaker 1: reflective duct tape and used it to stop me from
Speaker 1: getting to the drive through window until they were ready
Speaker 1: to summon me. Hashtag fellow slice and she put a
Speaker 1: picture up. There's flags on pole where they stick them
Speaker 1: out and stop you until they're ready for you to
Speaker 1: pull up. So they don't stuck their clock being time
Speaker 1: until their food is ready so they can make it
Speaker 1: look like you didn't wait that long. That's bullshit. That
Speaker 1: is some bullshit. Burger king wherever this is located, that's
Speaker 1: some bullshit. Uh. Sarah wrote to us, and she wanted
Speaker 1: to tell us that she went to the dentist this
Speaker 1: morning and she listened to our podcast while getting her
Speaker 1: filling to calm her nerves. Uh. The dentist asked what
Speaker 1: I was listening to, and she said the Brooklyn Boys,
Speaker 1: and then he then did a pretty good impression of
Speaker 1: someone from Brooklyn. That's from Sarah. H Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you could really from Brooklyn. That's not how
Speaker 1: we sound, right. Well, I'd like to hear his rendition
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna save unused jokes because we had this
Speaker 1: interview coming up and I just complain about about one thing.
Speaker 1: Is it time? All right? So I had to send
Speaker 1: out an email. Hold on wait, you pointed to your
Speaker 1: get it ready, Get it ready, It's ready, It's so ready.
Speaker 1: I hit the button. People hit the music too soon?
Speaker 1: Would you like? I sent that an email? Right, I
Speaker 1: had to alert a couple of people in one of
Speaker 1: our divisions, okay of something major. Oh my god, this
Speaker 1: pisses me off, And I sent it to a guy
Speaker 1: and a woman, right, And I had already sent other
Speaker 1: emails to other people to make sure everyone was in
Speaker 1: the loop. And I said, to the guy and the woman,
Speaker 1: here's this message that's very important. If there's anyone I
Speaker 1: forgot in your department, right that should be on this email,
Speaker 1: email me back. Let me know who it is. I'll
Speaker 1: send them an email. That's a fair request. You forgot Jamie,
Speaker 1: you forgot Julie, you forgot Mark, Steve Bob, Let me know.
Speaker 1: I'll email him the Canista. So I send that email out,
Speaker 1: and I had a completely different email and format of
Speaker 1: an email I wanted to send the boss. Okay, I
Speaker 1: didn't want to use that verbon, you were eventually going
Speaker 1: to send the boss an email. What the email needed
Speaker 1: to be written differently than the casual, matter of fact,
Speaker 1: abrupt email I sent to them because I just needed
Speaker 1: to get them a note right away. Okay. It wasn't
Speaker 1: exactly what I wanted the boss to know in those terms.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I said, if I left anybody off,
Speaker 1: you think I should let know email me their names.
Speaker 1: I get a reply all that says, okay, no problem, Oh,
Speaker 1: we'll take care of it. And by the way, I
Speaker 1: plus one the boss, so added the boss to the kind.
Speaker 1: They didn't like it, and they got to see the
Speaker 1: entire chain. Right. Let me tell you something, if I
Speaker 1: want to add the boss to an email, I'll add
Speaker 1: the boss to an email. I'm perfectly capable of knowing
Speaker 1: who my boss is. I could add the boss of
Speaker 1: my want. I guess what, I know the bosses email address.
Speaker 1: I very easily could say add boss, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: I also could have said, hey, you know what, why
Speaker 1: don't you forward this to anybody? I forgot No, I
Speaker 1: didn't say that. I said, let me know who I
Speaker 1: should email if I left anybody off the list that
Speaker 1: you think I should email, I didn't say, take it
Speaker 1: upon yourself to add the boss. So you'll look like
Speaker 1: a little brown nose and bitch that you put the
Speaker 1: boss on the email, and I look like a dick
Speaker 1: for not including the boss. Let you look like shit.
Speaker 1: Oh he sends up this important emails, looks stupid and
Speaker 1: like because the boss is gonna think, Hong, how dumb
Speaker 1: is brownie? And then he asked who to add, as
Speaker 1: if he didn't know to add me the boss. So
Speaker 1: now the boss is thinking Oh, what's Brony trying to hide? Right,
Speaker 1: bro He's not trying to hide any off to something.
Speaker 1: Are you being shifty? Yeah? Why did Brooke dido? You
Speaker 1: don't want me to know this? You know what? Don't
Speaker 1: copy the boss to emails, your fucking brown nose and fool.
Speaker 1: That was a c y a move, you know, c
Speaker 1: y a cover your ask because because excuse me, Espresso
Speaker 1: knows there you go talking my language. Espresso knows can
Speaker 1: I say this? Did? The person that did this is
Speaker 1: probably afraid of their own job that they they shiver
Speaker 1: in their boots, they're covering their ass, they're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out they think helpful. No, no, but they also
Speaker 1: are just like, whoa, we gotta include the boss in
Speaker 1: on this, because it's it's it's a company where everybody micromanages.
Speaker 1: It's wrong, it's it's it's more than wrong, Brody. And
Speaker 1: now I felt like writing back, don't be a dick
Speaker 1: and copy of the boss. But then they'll just right back,
Speaker 1: Oh look I'm copying. Yeah, that's fucked up, fucked up.
Speaker 1: Uh getta sucked up. Yeah, I think it's time to think,
Speaker 1: it's time. Yeah, let's let's let's let's get into this interview.
Speaker 1: This was an interview that we're gonna play for you
Speaker 1: right now that was recorded at a previous date. As
Speaker 1: we told you now we talked about giving you a bonus.
Speaker 1: This is a bonus because Scary and Eye on a
Speaker 1: day we don't normally record, recorded this seventy seven minutes.
Speaker 1: This is a nice little long podcast. Yeah, a podcast already. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were gonna put as a separate episode. We're like, no,
Speaker 1: let's edit it to this one, making a super long
Speaker 1: so you're not the like, wait for the app to
Speaker 1: go to the next one. So this is someone that
Speaker 1: I think is a legendary radio performer. Look, these guys
Speaker 1: were occasionally called shock shocks, but I think that minimizes
Speaker 1: what they did. They reinvented a lot of the genre
Speaker 1: of shock radio. They were pioneers. Um, they never cared
Speaker 1: about getting in trouble if it was funny, which I
Speaker 1: think is admirable. Um. By the and by the time
Speaker 1: you hear this, by the way, the book will be out.
Speaker 1: I believe Tuesday, November. You know, well, today's Monday. But
Speaker 1: it's all good. It's he's doing book signings already. You
Speaker 1: can pick up the book, the it's all the information
Speaker 1: about the book, everything's in the in the interview, Uh,
Speaker 1: we we have a we have a discount code for
Speaker 1: you guys, of course for his streaming service. Uh. You'll
Speaker 1: hear what Anthony's up to now. But if you're thinking,
Speaker 1: like I never liked to open to Anthony, or I
Speaker 1: don't know that show, I wasn't in my town, listen
Speaker 1: to the story, the story story of what it's like,
Speaker 1: how he got started. Uh, he was basically a day
Speaker 1: laborer and he worked his way into radio by juko,
Speaker 1: by crook, and he's a brilliant talent, whether he's your
Speaker 1: cup of tea or not. And the stories and the
Speaker 1: way things happened on the show, and the story about
Speaker 1: the girl who caught him in bed. But there's so
Speaker 1: much good stuff and the book. The book is fantastic.
Speaker 1: So you'll hear information about the book, but enjoying this.
Speaker 1: He lived, he is living or lived rock star. Yeah
Speaker 1: to him in the interview, he was lived like a
Speaker 1: rock star life on the radio. Unlike what you, Scary
Speaker 1: and I have going for us. We have a good life.
Speaker 1: It's fun. But the stuff that they did is just
Speaker 1: over the top. Craziness. Here you go. I'm kind of
Speaker 1: fan boying right now, Brodie. Okay, I have to say
Speaker 1: I've interviewed rock stars that I grew up like Kiss
Speaker 1: and Deaf Leopard, and we've interviewed comedians. I never get nervous. Really, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous today. I'm looking at me. He's
Speaker 1: just sitting there like comfortable, Like no big deal. Uh.
Speaker 1: Anthony Coumia from the Opening Anthony Show. And he has
Speaker 1: his own show now, which we'll talk about. We listen
Speaker 1: to him. Listen to your show for over a decade
Speaker 1: afternoons mornings. I paid for satellite radio specifically to get
Speaker 1: your show during after one of your many firings, and
Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of money on you. And so
Speaker 1: as fans of your show, we would do our morning
Speaker 1: show and then ride home and listen to you and
Speaker 1: and on the Open Anthony Show you were Anthony by
Speaker 1: the way, for those and we would come in the
Speaker 1: next day going did you it was you had the
Speaker 1: show that people go did you hear what they did yesterday?
Speaker 1: That is really nice to hear. Thank you, gentlemen. We're
Speaker 1: not We're not gentlemen. Obviously, this this interview is definitely
Speaker 1: for us, but it's also for people who want to
Speaker 1: hear about a different kind of radio than what you
Speaker 1: do on the Elvi Strand Morning Show, but also the
Speaker 1: pitfalls and pratfalls of having a job in this industry
Speaker 1: and how a non radio person can get into radio
Speaker 1: because you have your humble beginnings that you didn't start
Speaker 1: in radio. You didn't go to school for now. I
Speaker 1: didn't go to school for that. Didn't go to school
Speaker 1: for pretty much anything. Yeah, I I didn't graduate high school.
Speaker 1: I was stuck in the trades, you know, the the
Speaker 1: dumping ground for anybody that screws up their their education.
Speaker 1: And then, uh, you know, through Opie who was out
Speaker 1: on Long Island, uh doing radio, I got into the
Speaker 1: business and I just had complete misconceptions and what it
Speaker 1: was all about. I didn't know Like I thought if
Speaker 1: you were on the radio, you had to be rich.
Speaker 1: That was like, it's not. I learned that really quickly.
Speaker 1: Twenty three years. I'm still wearing the same for five
Speaker 1: years ago. That was my first lesson, because you did
Speaker 1: you did a conditioning right, yeah, air conditioning and heating
Speaker 1: and still Lasian duct work and think rooftops and addicts
Speaker 1: and the heat and cold. Did you do air conditioning
Speaker 1: work for the radio station? No? But they would ask me,
Speaker 1: could you you know, it's a little cold in here,
Speaker 1: or can you fix that? And I'd be like, you
Speaker 1: call the guy. You had access into the studios, but
Speaker 1: you were just the guy. I was that guy that
Speaker 1: had to, you know, fix the stuff right now. I
Speaker 1: started writing comedy and one of the first things I
Speaker 1: sold to anyone, um was uh an o J joke
Speaker 1: to Bill Maher, Oh wow. And then I ended up
Speaker 1: in radio sending song parodies to the Elvis rand Show
Speaker 1: on a cassette and they liked it. Yeah, you have
Speaker 1: a similar story. How did you get Opie's attention? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's uh. It was during that whole O J. Simpson thing.
Speaker 1: Might hurt about that J? Yeah, thank you o J.
Speaker 1: O J. Gave me a career. It's great, And it was.
Speaker 1: It was a song parody about o J. And Uh,
Speaker 1: my brother took it to Opie's show out on Long
Speaker 1: Island and UH just banged on the back door and
Speaker 1: an in turn came to the door and said, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll take it to Opie And my brother was pretty
Speaker 1: you know, hey, where's Opie, I'll give it to him.
Speaker 1: I want to talk to him, and uh, really pushy,
Speaker 1: and he gave him the tape. No, not me, I
Speaker 1: I'm not. My brother was the guy that kind of
Speaker 1: got the whole thing rolling, and uh, he gave him
Speaker 1: the tape. Opie played at the people loved it, and
Speaker 1: Opie invited us to come on the show and perform
Speaker 1: it live, which we did. And I just thought it
Speaker 1: was time to start spinning plates and juggling and singing
Speaker 1: and just do everything I could to make an impression
Speaker 1: to get back on that show. And I did, and
Speaker 1: he he had me back on and it was taping
Speaker 1: every appearance that I made and sent it out to
Speaker 1: other stations and we got the gig at a f
Speaker 1: in Boston, and that was the end of my tin
Speaker 1: knocking days. As they say, I threw my toolbox out
Speaker 1: the window on the driving up. So you left, you
Speaker 1: left Long Island with Opie and then you both went
Speaker 1: to Boston for this gig. Yeah, yeah, that's great. I
Speaker 1: feel like we should just say it ended in the firing,
Speaker 1: because you guys have become known for your had your
Speaker 1: public stunts over the years. Yeah. Yeah, that was our
Speaker 1: first firing. We uh so this was a a f Yeah,
Speaker 1: April fools. We said that the mayor was dead. Mayor
Speaker 1: Menino was dead because and it was because some of
Speaker 1: these you know how it is April Fools with DJs
Speaker 1: is so hackey. And and this is before social media,
Speaker 1: where you could have corrected yourself. By the way, you're
Speaker 1: the best on social media, as everyone knows, correcting yourself.
Speaker 1: But you didn't. You didn't have an outlet at the time.
Speaker 1: This is ninety nineties. Yeah around there, you ky of time.
Speaker 1: So you go on the air. You hired a newscaster,
Speaker 1: right because is by the way, I want to say,
Speaker 1: while you're here, because I have some of thiss information.
Speaker 1: You're here in addition to you love us. Of course,
Speaker 1: of course you're promoting permanently suspended, uh, which is your
Speaker 1: rise and fall and rise again of radio's most notorious
Speaker 1: shock chock with the forward by Jimmy Norton. He has
Speaker 1: a book out and by the way, and it's it
Speaker 1: looks like a nice easy read. It is an easy
Speaker 1: I didn't want to no, I didn't want to go
Speaker 1: crazy with a big thing. You see a big, thick book.
Speaker 1: It's just intimidating. This is fun. So this, this story
Speaker 1: is in the book which I by the way, I
Speaker 1: read that that chapter yesterday. I got some details I
Speaker 1: wasn't aware of, even though I've heard the story many times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you, you and Opie decide, let's do a practical joke,
Speaker 1: say the Mayor's dead. Yeah, And uh, I knew it
Speaker 1: was going to be trouble. And I was the guy,
Speaker 1: like I had just started doing this. We were doing
Speaker 1: it for about three years, I guess in Boston, and uh,
Speaker 1: I was petrified of being back in that attic. I
Speaker 1: did not want to go back, and we did it.
Speaker 1: The news picked up on it Menino's family, and we
Speaker 1: subsequently got fired. Uh And I thought that was it.
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that was fun. That was a
Speaker 1: fun three years. I'll be back in an attic cutting
Speaker 1: a duct work and going, hey, do you ever hear
Speaker 1: you haven't hear? That was of that. Listen to this cassette. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: check it out. It was great. Uh So I thought
Speaker 1: we were screwed. But it was the first of many
Speaker 1: firings and surprising, not the worst and not right. There's
Speaker 1: a there's a story in the book that I don't
Speaker 1: know how this happens. You were off air in Buffalo
Speaker 1: doing uh public appearance and a for O and all,
Speaker 1: you decided to put girls in bikinis who were strippers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: although based on how this story ends, they weren't porn stars.
Speaker 1: They were just strippers. They were just strippers. We should
Speaker 1: have known though it was gonna You decided to have
Speaker 1: them play volleyball, and then, of course, as guys do
Speaker 1: with a little power and microphones, we know, you got
Speaker 1: them to take their tops off. Yeah, and then tell
Speaker 1: us how it spiled out of control after that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was the beach of public beach. It was a
Speaker 1: public beach. It wasn't closed. We didn't have it closed
Speaker 1: for our event. We were at a bar that was
Speaker 1: on the beach. And Uh, it was great. Everybody's drinking,
Speaker 1: having a good time, big crowd there Buffalo. They're insane
Speaker 1: up there, So it was a great time. And we
Speaker 1: just thought these strippers would play volleyball in their bikinis. Uh.
Speaker 1: But after a while and they've been drinking, they started
Speaker 1: getting together and uh touching each other and making out,
Speaker 1: and slowly there their bikinis just started falling off. Involved. Yes,
Speaker 1: alcohol was involved. Now you have to buy the book
Speaker 1: because I want to get away too much. But then
Speaker 1: it got worse. Yeah, there there was food products involved. Yeah, yeah, somebody.
Speaker 1: I don't know where it came from, but out of nowhere, Uh,
Speaker 1: someone showed up with zucchini's and cucumbers and egg plants
Speaker 1: cat right because of the nutritional value, of course. And
Speaker 1: then and then at some point those products disappeared. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's no longer see that like a magic trick, just
Speaker 1: like a magic trick. And so there were families on
Speaker 1: the beach. What I don't get, and it's in the book,
Speaker 1: is that somehow the FCC got involved and you weren't
Speaker 1: on the air. How does that happen? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it is the only case of the FCC
Speaker 1: having a field a complaint, uh, from something that was
Speaker 1: never on the public airwaves. It was a show that
Speaker 1: we were just doing live. We had a p A.
Speaker 1: But they don't regulate what goes out over a public
Speaker 1: address system over a beach is controversial, Yeah, controversial thing
Speaker 1: for them to get involved in. Yeah, setting their boundaries almost.
Speaker 1: I guess somebody thought that that complained to But it's
Speaker 1: like when people go to the drive through and they
Speaker 1: don't have chicken fingers, and they ca, yeah, what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do the middle of the afternoon, by the way, right,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, middle of the afternoon, uh in in Buffalo Lakeside.
Speaker 1: So it was Mike and Margor with the kids by
Speaker 1: the lake, just a nice day out of tassels, and
Speaker 1: the celcumber disappeared. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. It was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw it, Like the faces on the moms as
Speaker 1: they're dragging the kids away, it was they were horrified.
Speaker 1: Anthony goes into greater detail in the book. This This book,
Speaker 1: I want to just say is first of all, it's
Speaker 1: a great reading, very easy, thank you, crazy read It's
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of not typical, Like, don't read this
Speaker 1: book and think this is what radio is. Um. This
Speaker 1: is a book that could have been written by a
Speaker 1: rock star. You guys lived a life of rock stars.
Speaker 1: You drank, you had strippers in the studio, you had
Speaker 1: pinball machines, you had strippers on pinball machines. I don't
Speaker 1: want to get too graphic. I don't. I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: in the book, but you guys played cherry darts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Cherry darts, cherry darts, gallant drum challenge. Should we talk
Speaker 1: about that? Okay, we don't. We don't have any regulation here,
Speaker 1: but which is nice? Which is so the thing that
Speaker 1: gets me And it's just like a rock star women
Speaker 1: and men because there were plenty of men who do
Speaker 1: crazy things on your show. We're willing to do anything
Speaker 1: for you guys because you were on the radio and
Speaker 1: you're you're larger than life for a long period of time.
Speaker 1: It's the strangest phenomenon, but you're absolutely right. We would
Speaker 1: come up with an idea and the first thing I
Speaker 1: would think is, no one's coming in for this. This
Speaker 1: is preposterous. They wouldn't do this, they wouldn't put themselves
Speaker 1: through this, and we'd have too many people. We'd have
Speaker 1: to tell people to leave because it was and the
Speaker 1: gallon drum challenge was a prime example of that. We're like,
Speaker 1: we are never gonna get girls that will come up
Speaker 1: into the studio, stripped down to bron panties, get into
Speaker 1: a fifty five gallon industrial drup like they put chemicals
Speaker 1: in the dumped in the water. Yeah, this is like
Speaker 1: you see this all the all the time on forensic files.
Speaker 1: When they shove a body in it and leave it
Speaker 1: in a crawl space for years. Not just spoil the fun.
Speaker 1: But let me just bring it back to the present
Speaker 1: for a second. How would that show and those shenanigans
Speaker 1: or whatever you did it go over in today's culture
Speaker 1: and today's climate with the way people we just came
Speaker 1: we were talking about these snow flakes that were arguing
Speaker 1: over over food. This phone prank that we played earlier
Speaker 1: this morning. It was like it was harmless fun. We're
Speaker 1: addicted to outrage. Okay, so don't dumped. A great story.
Speaker 1: Man got these girls to go in the drum, Get
Speaker 1: him in the drum. Let's go back there in the drum.
Speaker 1: The tops were put on and feel like they were
Speaker 1: literally trapped in these drums. And there was there's more. Yes, wait,
Speaker 1: there's more. There's a hole in the top where you
Speaker 1: usually jumped the chemicals out of. Okay, wait before you
Speaker 1: go on with what you did. What was the payoff?
Speaker 1: What were they doing this for? I believe it was
Speaker 1: tickets to various shows. Said yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was tickets. Right by the way we take call
Speaker 1: one hundred on our show. It's a little easier, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we will you call. I want you to know this
Speaker 1: could have been Elvis could have said you could go
Speaker 1: in the giant drum in the drum. So they go
Speaker 1: in the drum. There's a hole in the top. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we'd have maybe eight nine of these drums set
Speaker 1: up with girls in there. Get those drums for a
Speaker 1: radio bit. Boy, I don't know. We had a great
Speaker 1: staff was able to actually come up with gallon drums
Speaker 1: and get them upstairs and uh, and then we would
Speaker 1: um solicit the audience, our audience of dedicated oh and
Speaker 1: a fans to bring stuff up that was deemed disgusting,
Speaker 1: just the worst things. Fish guts, uh, rotten food, uh,
Speaker 1: liquids that were uh, living and dead things, Snakes, eels, uh,
Speaker 1: hissing cockroaches was one of them. That was just terrible. Uh.
Speaker 1: And all these things would be poured in to these
Speaker 1: girls drums and they would be in their pitch black.
Speaker 1: They can't really see all. They had to protect themselves
Speaker 1: with goggles. We gaveh goggles. Yeah, you know, we should
Speaker 1: have let him go blind. Uh. Actually we had one
Speaker 1: girl a cricket crawled into her ear and we had
Speaker 1: to pop the top off the drum and send her
Speaker 1: to the hot the first cricket wireless. Yea, yeah, the
Speaker 1: cricket right in her. They had to pull it out
Speaker 1: with some four steps and um, well she throw jokes
Speaker 1: were palming. Yeah, yeah, it's like I'm just hearing crickets
Speaker 1: all is this? It was? And and the the screaming
Speaker 1: that would come out of these barrels, I only I
Speaker 1: could only equate with like the basement of a serial killer,
Speaker 1: where where you just hear this echoe girls scream from
Speaker 1: a drumless But how many times when you were doing
Speaker 1: that did you feel bad? Uh? Not until after we
Speaker 1: left the show, because we did a lot of things
Speaker 1: that normal people should feel very badly because I'm reading
Speaker 1: the book and I don't see at the end of
Speaker 1: any story hash and there the walk to the car,
Speaker 1: like the show is over. We're like, all right, that
Speaker 1: was cold, great show, And then walking to the car,
Speaker 1: you're kind of gone. I kind of feel bad. I
Speaker 1: think I think we should wait three months before we
Speaker 1: do it again. But you're going to do it again.
Speaker 1: You didn't do it. We had to top the thing
Speaker 1: we just did, and there and lied the problem. It
Speaker 1: was so difficult to come up with the next thing
Speaker 1: that would top the last thing. But the listeners expected it.
Speaker 1: We were obsessed with it because we knew it brought
Speaker 1: more listeners in and more ratings, and then we'd entertain
Speaker 1: them with with radio. But they always wanted that next
Speaker 1: stunt and it had to be crazier than the last one.
Speaker 1: And management liked it to a point because they're able
Speaker 1: to sell their getting ratings. But it will always be
Speaker 1: the downfall. How about that time at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Speaker 1: That's that's sort of the end of this. But that
Speaker 1: to me, but that I heard that headlines, I mean, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So Anthony will explain and and it's it's more detailed
Speaker 1: than the book, of course, but that's one of the
Speaker 1: those things that as a radio person you're listening going, oh,
Speaker 1: how are they getting out of this? They're going to
Speaker 1: fire them on the air, like you knew, you knew.
Speaker 1: I was cringing for you when I heard him that
Speaker 1: he can talk about that a little bit. Well, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So again I just want to point out permanently suspended.
Speaker 1: This is another reason why the book is titled this. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we were constantly being fired, suspended, permanently suspended, which is
Speaker 1: an expulsion. At the time of this bit that you're
Speaker 1: going to describe, you were doing afternoons at w n
Speaker 1: W one or two seven, which was a legendary rock show,
Speaker 1: rock station that decided to go talk. They flipped over
Speaker 1: and got rid of a lot of the old jocks,
Speaker 1: and and that you guys would number one in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Just actually aside and I go ken, He looked at me,
Speaker 1: didn't say a word, and walked away. You were coming
Speaker 1: on our show, right, because he's a friend of mine. No, No,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't imagine anything. But I was like,
Speaker 1: oh man, that's and then I'm trying to go through
Speaker 1: my head like what did we say? What did we do?
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of you were sort of like
Speaker 1: the young rebels that came in and we're like, we
Speaker 1: douched out the place in your words, right, And so
Speaker 1: you guys were number one in afternoons. We would come
Speaker 1: home every day and listen to you on on terrestrial radio.
Speaker 1: And you did all these crazy fifty five gallons drum challenge.
Speaker 1: You did the homeless shop, very famous for the for
Speaker 1: the homeless shopping spree is one of those things that's
Speaker 1: you guys should google it because it's so funny. It's
Speaker 1: a brilliant bit, but people will get upset that they'll
Speaker 1: get upset, so just google it and enjoy if you
Speaker 1: want to enjoy. And women would call him we gotta
Speaker 1: talk about with Mount Wednesday because people would know that
Speaker 1: we'll get to that black and yellow stickers. I still
Speaker 1: see them on the back of a dirty truck from
Speaker 1: So here's a little little behind the scenes. We were
Speaker 1: looking for a promotion at one point, and so I said,
Speaker 1: why don't we do mom stickers? We take the wild stickers,
Speaker 1: turn them upside down and do like we love your mom,
Speaker 1: and they're like your mom, like something like, um, I
Speaker 1: forgot what we said m om stands for. But it
Speaker 1: was like, um, whatever we took this we took. I
Speaker 1: was like, we're not doing that now. We killed that.
Speaker 1: But this bit is why I had to now pay
Speaker 1: at that point, like eighteen dollars a month of satellite
Speaker 1: radio because this bit got you fired and you didn't
Speaker 1: come back on any kind of formatted radio for two years.
Speaker 1: Were Yeah, for two years we were. They held us
Speaker 1: to our contract. They didn't want us working for another company,
Speaker 1: so they paid us and we sat out for two
Speaker 1: years making an insane amount of money. They put you
Speaker 1: on a shelf. He got paid to stay home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were like, oh, can we get a job and
Speaker 1: they're like, no, well we'll still pay you. You're just
Speaker 1: not doing a show anymore. And this it was thousand two.
Speaker 1: You wanted to be back on the air. Yeah, around
Speaker 1: two thousand Whose idea was this? And and and you
Speaker 1: can describe the bit oh again like the just like
Speaker 1: the Mayor's dead bit, Opie came up with. You told them,
Speaker 1: don't do this, it's against me. But this wasn't the
Speaker 1: first time you had done this bit. No, we had
Speaker 1: done it before. It was it was just and kind
Speaker 1: of radio, you know, a bit of shock jockery. And
Speaker 1: then you got fired for listen. It was worth it
Speaker 1: because it's legendary radio. It's it's history of American radio.
Speaker 1: This is one of the all times everyone. You can
Speaker 1: google it. It's out there, the articles, the papers of
Speaker 1: the day. And I'm gonna delay the story for another minute.
Speaker 1: Had you not had if we didn't have terrestrial radio,
Speaker 1: this is two thou two when you got fired. There's
Speaker 1: no podcasts really to speak of. There's no SoundCloud. This
Speaker 1: YouTube wasn't really it wasn't what YouTube was two six Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't it was. If it was, it was
Speaker 1: no real way for you to do your show. And
Speaker 1: thank god said like radio came along, it was the
Speaker 1: perfect medium for you. Guys. We were screwed, but you yeah,
Speaker 1: you could have been like never worked in radio again. Yes,
Speaker 1: we were. We were screwed. And I remember when serious
Speaker 1: actually was x MT first came around and our agents
Speaker 1: started telling us about it. Me and Opie, Uh, we
Speaker 1: were hanging out and we're kind of looking at the
Speaker 1: street and the car's gone by, and we're like, all right,
Speaker 1: because they had those big shark fin antennas at the time,
Speaker 1: and we're like, all right, let's kind of look and
Speaker 1: see how many people actually have Mine was a magnet
Speaker 1: that it's just big antenna's uh. And we just noticed
Speaker 1: like barely any cars had these things, and we're like, wow,
Speaker 1: we really screwed screwed up, man. We we really were
Speaker 1: like this is nothing like we were talking to millions
Speaker 1: of people and now you know, if there's twenty thousand
Speaker 1: people even subscribing to all of satellite radio, we only
Speaker 1: get a percentage of that we're talking to nobody, So
Speaker 1: it was it was depressing at first, but you know
Speaker 1: we we uh were right there at the beginning of
Speaker 1: satellite radio and until it built up for ten years,
Speaker 1: we were there, uh, and it built up into quite
Speaker 1: a thing. So you're also at the beginning and we'll
Speaker 1: get to this in a minute. We're also at the
Speaker 1: beginning of pictures and streaming the show as it was
Speaker 1: going on. We'll get to that. So tell us the
Speaker 1: sex with Sam story. How did the bid originally start?
Speaker 1: Because it did well for a couple of years. You
Speaker 1: did it before you didn't get fired. Yeah, what was
Speaker 1: the premise of the bit? Jim Cooke from Sam Adams
Speaker 1: used to come up all the time, the nicest, nerdiest guy.
Speaker 1: Just I don't know how he associated with this bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, he's like, Hi, I'm Jim Cook. He was
Speaker 1: really like, hey, why did you come here and drink
Speaker 1: some beer? And naked girls will be in the studio
Speaker 1: and he'd have this backpack with beer in it. He
Speaker 1: always had some kind of a gimmick going my kind
Speaker 1: of client and we loved him. He was great, Uh,
Speaker 1: And somehow we tied in his beer company with this
Speaker 1: thing that the stunt that we would do. What it
Speaker 1: was was we had couples, uh, go around to various
Speaker 1: famous locations around New York, landmarks of New York City,
Speaker 1: the Empire State Building, F. A. O. Schwartz, Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the hard rock things like that, and they would have
Speaker 1: to have sex at these locations, some form of sex. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sexual act, sexual act, well, intercourse I believe was what
Speaker 1: now weren't there certain there was points for the location,
Speaker 1: but also points for the act. Yes, yes, there was
Speaker 1: a two point conversion we called it. Yeah, and that
Speaker 1: was an extra two points if they did it. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah the other way the other way, a three point conversion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. Was it popular? Did they have you guys
Speaker 1: had a lot of volunteers? Oh yeah yeah yeah. They've
Speaker 1: gotten a drum and had rat faces poured on them.
Speaker 1: They're gonna get have sex. Come on, I'm just saying
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I mean, did you have to like tickets? Well,
Speaker 1: they got a trip to Boston. Yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: trip to the Boston Beer Company facility and uh tickets
Speaker 1: to maybe a socks game up there or something. So
Speaker 1: you don't have to co worce anybody. It was all.
Speaker 1: They loved that they would come in. We'd audition couples,
Speaker 1: so they would come into the studio and of course
Speaker 1: again Rockstar new things. It was amazing. So we had
Speaker 1: spotters that went out also with these people, whether they
Speaker 1: were some of them spotted here and there as well,
Speaker 1: I think type of spot uh, and they were people
Speaker 1: from the show and also stand up comics would go
Speaker 1: out and make sure that they were actually doing these
Speaker 1: these deeds because they play by play and we didn't
Speaker 1: want any dishonesty a reputable contest we're doing here. So
Speaker 1: Opie decided to put Church on the list. He just
Speaker 1: put Church now right away, the red flag went up.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know about this. If he's like,
Speaker 1: no one's gonna do it, we'll just say it's on
Speaker 1: the list. But yeah, h my moral confidence. I'm not
Speaker 1: looking to plug anybody else. But ope, he doesn't have
Speaker 1: a book right because because you're just blaming everything on him,
Speaker 1: today's just pile it off. First book is the truth,
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Sorry, I got mine out first.
Speaker 1: If he had a good story, he would have written first.
Speaker 1: I guess he's too much guilt and he came up
Speaker 1: with these bits that he's got all you guys fired.
Speaker 1: That's that's it's so he puts church on this list,
Speaker 1: churches on the list. So that way when we're on
Speaker 1: the errand we read down the location, not churches, fried chickens. Well,
Speaker 1: although it could have been and that would have been funny,
Speaker 1: like church, yeah, good way out. So we're reading it
Speaker 1: off and it just sounds outrageous, wild church, that's nuts.
Speaker 1: Well we didn't know that. Uh. One couple and the
Speaker 1: spot ter, Paul Mecuri, Oh comic would actually go not
Speaker 1: only to a church, but the biggest, arguably the biggest
Speaker 1: Catholic church in the country, cathedral. Uh. And they did.
Speaker 1: And and right when we picked up the phone, he goes, uh, well,
Speaker 1: we're here at St. Pat's and they're doing the conversion,
Speaker 1: the conversion, and and we're like, and I looked at
Speaker 1: that dump button right in front of me. We had
Speaker 1: the delay. We had a long delay on the show.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll contil van Halen started playing right, and
Speaker 1: if the delay ran out, there was a guy in
Speaker 1: a locked room that hit a button and Van hale
Speaker 1: would start playing and we would be right. Because the
Speaker 1: real quick the way delay works I think we've explained
Speaker 1: it on the big shows. It's like your DVR when
Speaker 1: we pause it behind like thirty seconds and the commercial
Speaker 1: comes up. So imagine there's eight commercials and you skip
Speaker 1: through seven and the eighth commercial comes up and you
Speaker 1: have no skip left. You play Van Halen's you don't
Speaker 1: listen to the commercial, right right? That meant that because
Speaker 1: if we got it, Oh yeah, yes, so it got
Speaker 1: it got really nerve wracking. I'm looking at the button,
Speaker 1: going probably dump this. Oh you were in charge of
Speaker 1: the dump button. We all had buttons in front of
Speaker 1: had one. I had one. I thought there was just one.
Speaker 1: Oh no, there was a guy in the locked room.
Speaker 1: He had dump buttons and a big that's right. They
Speaker 1: had to have a d They had the guy in
Speaker 1: the back, I think because I remember you guys saying
Speaker 1: that Gus like we got the thing was and it
Speaker 1: was Al Duke's for a while. Yes I know Al now,
Speaker 1: which is funny. So the thing is they would get
Speaker 1: mad if they were dumped for things that they felt
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been dumb. Yeah, I'm gonna be able to
Speaker 1: dump in case the guy was too afraid to dump,
Speaker 1: like if he felt like they're gonna get mad at
Speaker 1: me for this dump or if it was questionable. So
Speaker 1: you had the button, we had the button. You can't
Speaker 1: throw anyone under the bus. We would freak out guests
Speaker 1: sometimes by cursing on the air. I turn around, say
Speaker 1: why don't you go yourself and actually say it, and
Speaker 1: then I'd hit the dumb button and what do you
Speaker 1: what did you just do? Like that's funny, we have
Speaker 1: a dump? Uh, but I'm staring at that button going
Speaker 1: and we neither of us, me or Opie. We didn't dump.
Speaker 1: The guy in the back didn't dump because it wasn't
Speaker 1: against FCC rules because it's going out over the air,
Speaker 1: but none of their regulations were broken, and uh, it
Speaker 1: just snowball. The police showed up, they arrested the couple
Speaker 1: and Paul mecurie O and uh then once the media
Speaker 1: got ahold of it, there's no coming back. There's no
Speaker 1: defending that that you you had a couple do that
Speaker 1: in uh st Pat's cat and the part that look,
Speaker 1: we don't know for a fact. I mean you might
Speaker 1: know for a fact, but as a listener, you don't
Speaker 1: know for a fact. Actually didn't know of course, like
Speaker 1: Paul mercurial could have said, Dad, they did it great radio.
Speaker 1: You guys are not guilty of anything. You don't know.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. At the time it was happening,
Speaker 1: I thought, ah, fear of the mind. I was hoping
Speaker 1: for you. So I said, there's no as much as
Speaker 1: you guys would never come out go we faked it
Speaker 1: because you didn't. But Paul may have. I said, please
Speaker 1: let them come out and make it. Say look, Paul.
Speaker 1: Paul comes out and says, we're going for the joke.
Speaker 1: Wasn't real. They weren't even in the church. They weren't
Speaker 1: doing it in the church. We just I thought it'd
Speaker 1: be funny, and you go, Paul. So man at Paul,
Speaker 1: why would you fake it? But he's great. They probably
Speaker 1: would have been away to Yeah, but it was the
Speaker 1: fact that you never said that, which was admirable, foolish
Speaker 1: but amiable. Paul distanced himself from He was like, I
Speaker 1: want no part of this. He was He seemed like
Speaker 1: he was like I'm just doing my job. Like he
Speaker 1: was like, I didn't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It actually took place, I think in one of those
Speaker 1: vestibules before you even go into the church, one of
Speaker 1: the archways that surround the church. It happened in the
Speaker 1: alternate opening near the regular door, right near the door,
Speaker 1: and a security guard came over and and the anus
Speaker 1: of entries to the right exactly. Uh. And and Paul
Speaker 1: knowing what we want or thinking what we want the
Speaker 1: conversion that when security came over, instead of just saying
Speaker 1: all right, it's cool, no, nothing happened, will will leave,
Speaker 1: thank you, goodnight, he wanted a conflict because he knew
Speaker 1: we loved that. Uh. And that made it worse because
Speaker 1: then the police showed up. And once the cops showed up,
Speaker 1: that was it. The media got ahold of it. It
Speaker 1: turned into you know, people actually to this day go,
Speaker 1: didn't you and Opie have sex in the church? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Fake news. So we didn't know, you know, we didn't
Speaker 1: know it was going to get that far. But when
Speaker 1: you're when you're in radio and you're on the brink
Speaker 1: of being fired and you're watching the news, there's a
Speaker 1: tipping point where you go, oh, yeah, we're done. We're done.
Speaker 1: And yet, from what I read, not my personal opinion,
Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of people have had sex
Speaker 1: and churches and not lost their jobs. For it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they could have just transferred us to another parish. I
Speaker 1: saw in the movie. Yeah, plenty of movies about that.
Speaker 1: We we we. Uh So is there anything that you
Speaker 1: didn't put in the book that you thought was either
Speaker 1: too uncomfortable for someone that you knew and worked with it.
Speaker 1: You don't tell us what it is, but this thing
Speaker 1: has it seems like it's everything something you were like. No,
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, you know what it is.
Speaker 1: When when you're doing radio for twenty years, Uh, you
Speaker 1: put everything out there. There are those slow news days
Speaker 1: when you're just sitting there and lately yeah, no, not lately,
Speaker 1: and when you got the likes of Jim Norton sitting
Speaker 1: neck to you, you're gonna open up and just talk
Speaker 1: about your life. And over the course of the years,
Speaker 1: everything's been put out there. It's embarrassing at times, but
Speaker 1: it's also freeing. You know, there's nothing anybody can approach
Speaker 1: you with and then go ah, ha, I got this
Speaker 1: on you. It's like we did that back in two
Speaker 1: thousand and seven. We talked about that and you guys
Speaker 1: were preaching authenticity and transparency long before it was yeah
Speaker 1: in radio, and now that's what we we talk about
Speaker 1: I mean we our show and with the Elvis Durran
Speaker 1: show is actually extremely transparent and we just like to
Speaker 1: put we put all our emotions out there. It makes
Speaker 1: the best people love it. But now, speaking about being transparent,
Speaker 1: you weren't transparent about one thing. That's what I was like.
Speaker 1: I've already proven I'm a fan. I can I can
Speaker 1: you know, I know your your your manages, your your
Speaker 1: agents name um the late Bobby Bobby super super agent,
Speaker 1: super Agent. He's no longer with us, he has passed. Now,
Speaker 1: it's no secret that you and Opie did not end well. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: multiple times it was the fights on air, there was
Speaker 1: it's it's got an ugly since it's ugly on his
Speaker 1: show that you got ugly on what you're doing. By
Speaker 1: the way, let's talk about you doing now real quick
Speaker 1: and we'll get back to it. Uh. You're in the compound, right,
Speaker 1: compound media, compound media, dot com um and your compound media.
Speaker 1: Uh what's the what's the Twitter? I think that's a mistake.
Speaker 1: A compound America. Yeah. By the way, the voice hearing
Speaker 1: the background is my good friend Eric, who was noted
Speaker 1: on the Open Anthony Show. He was on our podcast
Speaker 1: last week, episode sixty I think right sixty or sixty one.
Speaker 1: We did sixty one. We did the resumes. Eric has
Speaker 1: been a great edition. He's only been with us a
Speaker 1: short time now, but it's great to have so at
Speaker 1: Compound America. So you're doing a show now you had
Speaker 1: when you first kicked it off, you Edwards Opie Opie
Speaker 1: ad words for you. He got emotional, You got emotional.
Speaker 1: Got well he did get that one day with he
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. You stayed angry? Yeah, no, no crying
Speaker 1: at the Compound. I'm the guy in the relationship, all right. Now.
Speaker 1: I thought I was under the impression as a listener
Speaker 1: that things sort of went astray. Let's say two thousand eight,
Speaker 1: two thousand seven, three quarters into your run. I could
Speaker 1: I knew Eric, I heard some things. I spoke to Jimmy,
Speaker 1: I heard some things. So I knew some things. This
Speaker 1: is not when the problem started. You were basically married
Speaker 1: to this guy on the radio. Your career was because
Speaker 1: of him. You, you, your success was your team, the
Speaker 1: ideas you're planning. When did the problem? When did you
Speaker 1: guys start growing apart? What year? Roughly it was a
Speaker 1: lot earlier on than people think. Really. Yeah. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: we first got together and went up to Boston, we
Speaker 1: were inseparable. Uh. It was myself and Opie my wife
Speaker 1: at the time. And that is that five chapters in
Speaker 1: the book. I just read the part about your wedding night. God,
Speaker 1: it was yet you're able to smile and left today horrifying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the separation went smooth from yeah, that went well,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Anyway, and and Opie and his girlfriend
Speaker 1: at the time, and with the four of us were
Speaker 1: the four Musketeers. We had each other. We were up
Speaker 1: in Boston starting this amazing new career hadn't been yet,
Speaker 1: hadn't been fired. I was happy to be there guy,
Speaker 1: and it was great. And and me and Opie would
Speaker 1: get together in the mornings, have breakfast and lunch and
Speaker 1: discuss what we're gonna do on the show, and very
Speaker 1: excited about it. Once my marriage went uh put uh
Speaker 1: and and I started going out with another girl, and
Speaker 1: his girlfriend couldn't stand that fact that I was out
Speaker 1: of my marriage, and now this four Musketeers thing kind
Speaker 1: of broke up. This happened when we got back to
Speaker 1: New York because she was fed. Because Ope's girl was
Speaker 1: close with your wife. Yes, so that started the tension thing.
Speaker 1: You you left out a real sell her for this book.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's the overlap. There's a little bit of
Speaker 1: you didn't just meet a girl, No, no, that it
Speaker 1: was the girl that me and my wife had a
Speaker 1: threesome with. Yeah, for an extended period of time, not
Speaker 1: just one that's in the books. Yeah. The reason why
Speaker 1: it's at least suspended primarily available at all places you
Speaker 1: find your books. Yeah, you want to sell it on
Speaker 1: your website dot com. By the way, I want to say,
Speaker 1: we'll say this couple of times, but if you use
Speaker 1: the promo code Compound twenty, do you get off a
Speaker 1: new subscription to your shows? Yeah, a lot of different
Speaker 1: shows on Compound promised if we had you on, we
Speaker 1: get a free subscription. So that's right. Do it off
Speaker 1: on your Here's threesome stories. So that no, no ahead,
Speaker 1: because I didn't read the full book yet, I'm not. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was well, my wife seemed to have this, uh
Speaker 1: kind of side of her that liked girls. There was
Speaker 1: a part of that that, like I said, and uh
Speaker 1: rock star book. The odd thing is I was able
Speaker 1: to pull this off when I was still in instruction
Speaker 1: back in New York. Yeah, it wasn't because you were famous.
Speaker 1: You didn't pull the DJ threesome. No. I I was
Speaker 1: doing a gig with my band years ago and this
Speaker 1: girl that was friendly with us, uh, was there, and
Speaker 1: my wife comes up to be drunk off r S
Speaker 1: and goes, hey, Cindy wants to come back and watch
Speaker 1: us have sex. I'm like, check, that's great, And I'm
Speaker 1: driving home with the girls were sitting. I had a
Speaker 1: work fan, that's all. I had my air conditioning Apollo
Speaker 1: air conditioning work fan. They're sitting in the passage seat.
Speaker 1: I'm in the driver's seat, wasted by the way, just thinking, please,
Speaker 1: if there's a god, don't pull me over, don't get
Speaker 1: Could you imagine having your first threesome potential right there
Speaker 1: and getting arrested and that would be but thank god
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. So became a regular thing. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was not the reason why you're married. You got destroyed. No,
Speaker 1: not that I'm it was it was every so often
Speaker 1: with this uh Cindy girl. And then when we moved
Speaker 1: up to Boston for the gig, it was we didn't
Speaker 1: really think about it. Uh. And then when we came
Speaker 1: back to New York three years later, she kind of
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, is there any way maybe you could
Speaker 1: find one of these fans, because that's when we really
Speaker 1: started getting all the girls coming into the studio and everything.
Speaker 1: And She's like, you think there's be anyway And I'm like, WHOA,
Speaker 1: I don't know trying. Meanwhile, I'm like, I'm going through
Speaker 1: Rollo decks in my head of potential. This is around there.
Speaker 1: So you guys, obviously the friendship took a turn. Whether
Speaker 1: either a guy gets married or whatever. In this situation,
Speaker 1: you got single and he wanted the thing that used
Speaker 1: to have. But when did it get uncomfortable in the studio?
Speaker 1: When was it for like I hate coming to work,
Speaker 1: this is not working. Yeah, I think he started getting
Speaker 1: some resentment to me and Jimmy. Also we really started
Speaker 1: hitting it off, and I think uh Opie felt his
Speaker 1: role was kind of being pushed into the logistics placed
Speaker 1: you added Jim Norton, a comic on the show. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: was the reason for that to add more conversation and
Speaker 1: to have an emissary in the clubs. What was the
Speaker 1: reason for adding Jimmy at that point? Because Opie brought
Speaker 1: him into the show. Opie says, now, uh that he
Speaker 1: did that to save the show, like because me and
Speaker 1: him weren't really getting along. And I don't really remember
Speaker 1: us not getting along to that extent where we needed
Speaker 1: somebody else to you know, as a buffer kind of
Speaker 1: a thing. But that's how Opie says. I just think
Speaker 1: Jimmy was a great third mike. Uh, just hilarious, quick,
Speaker 1: quick witted, he could throw something. He brought something to
Speaker 1: our show that we never had, which was this real
Speaker 1: natural ability to goof on each other self deprecation. We
Speaker 1: never did any kind of self deprecation if one yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but if we would never, we would never acknowledge. And
Speaker 1: Jimmy brought this whole thing to the show where if
Speaker 1: something bombed, he would be like, what was that? And
Speaker 1: we were horrified and first like, you know, you don't
Speaker 1: bring this up right, And then after a while you realized, no,
Speaker 1: that's the natural, funny thing to do, and people love it.
Speaker 1: And we do that we on our show. If somebody
Speaker 1: messes up, we're on top of them, even if it's
Speaker 1: all yeah. And I think that's a style of radio
Speaker 1: that didn't exist thirty years ago. It didn't it was
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. And I don't want to discount Howard. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to talk about how in a minute, because
Speaker 1: he plays a role in this whole story here and there. Um.
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is, as a listen, I couldn't
Speaker 1: tell so you came in every day. Now, there's one
Speaker 1: story where when it got really bad, your buddies with Jimmy.
Speaker 1: Jimmy has now migrated to be your best buddy, and
Speaker 1: you're you're sort of like a team, and Opie's on
Speaker 1: an island by himself, and you sent a text message.
Speaker 1: Right you're in the studio and you wanted to send
Speaker 1: a text message to Jimmy about how uncomfortable it was
Speaker 1: working with Opie that morning. Yeah, what did the text
Speaker 1: message say? Do you remember? It said? Uh, the little
Speaker 1: c words. Uh won't even look at me because there
Speaker 1: was something I hope he would do. He if he
Speaker 1: was mad at you, he wouldn't make you like you
Speaker 1: weren't in the room. He wouldn't make eye contact, wouldn't
Speaker 1: even look at you. If he if his head, his
Speaker 1: line of sight had to pass by me to get
Speaker 1: to another person's line of sight. He literally is as
Speaker 1: you'd see him go over my head, back down, and
Speaker 1: anything he could do to avoid icon. And again, these
Speaker 1: are two people who are listening. You made a lot
Speaker 1: of money. Oh yeah, very well, you guys made a
Speaker 1: lot of money. A lot of it was because of
Speaker 1: my XM subscription. I know, thank you. And yet your
Speaker 1: your lives and success are based on each other. You're
Speaker 1: getting along is how you guys have a job. Imagine
Speaker 1: you're listening to this podcast. Whatever you do for a living,
Speaker 1: and the person who you rely on, whether you're a
Speaker 1: doctor and you have a nurse or your two lawyers
Speaker 1: like Selina and Barnes, the most famous lawyers in America.
Speaker 1: They hate each other. They hate each other. You don't
Speaker 1: root Celeno and Barnes, you know. And so you guys
Speaker 1: are trying to be funny every day you're not working
Speaker 1: on a on a rock pile. Were like, fuck him,
Speaker 1: I'll break rocks. You have to be funny. You have
Speaker 1: to play off each other. So you send a text
Speaker 1: message it says the C word isn't whatever and what
Speaker 1: went wrong? Well, I I sent it to Jimmy and
Speaker 1: then I looked at it and right after I had sent,
Speaker 1: I look at the top of the text, and it
Speaker 1: says Opie, I sent it to Opie. So I send
Speaker 1: the same little studio. Oh yeah. I froze right then
Speaker 1: I'm looking and and all you think is maybe something
Speaker 1: will go wrong, maybe it won't send, maybe something until
Speaker 1: right right. That would have been beautiful. But but I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there and I hear on the console and it's
Speaker 1: his phone, and I'm like, oh, there's there's my text.
Speaker 1: I see him pick up the phone and look at it,
Speaker 1: and then his eyes just go up and look right
Speaker 1: at me. He goes, what is this? And I had nothing.
Speaker 1: I couldn't have said something. You know, how how do
Speaker 1: you not look at him? How do you not look
Speaker 1: at him and go Jimmy's an ass am? I right, yeah, yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: look at You're right about him? He uh. It was
Speaker 1: like I had nothing, So I finally I just went, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're being a dick. Why don't you look at me?
Speaker 1: I figured I would just let him let that. Fifteen
Speaker 1: years later, Larry David did an episode about that, that
Speaker 1: you send the unintentional text message deliberately. Yes, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to buy my wife a gift, she's so
Speaker 1: hot today, but you send it to horror, like the intention,
Speaker 1: but you didn't know about that then. I didn't know,
Speaker 1: and it was the opposite. I was just trying to
Speaker 1: get a reaction, buddy, and you helping you at that
Speaker 1: point that you had been talking about him behind his
Speaker 1: back to Jimmy to Jimmy. Yeah, yeah, you know, so
Speaker 1: I tried to cover Jimmy by saying I was sending
Speaker 1: it to my girlfriend and and I don't think he
Speaker 1: bought it. Well, the show ended, so I'm guessing you
Speaker 1: didn't buy it. Yeah, yeah, he didn't buy it. Was
Speaker 1: true that at the end it got so bad that
Speaker 1: you guys would perform well on the air, and then
Speaker 1: once you guys hit commercial, you guys would just bolt
Speaker 1: out of the studios and oh yeah yeah. There was
Speaker 1: a lot of bathroom breaks and uh and just not
Speaker 1: paying attention to each other, not looking at each other big. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's a small but I would go into the
Speaker 1: live read, he would get up and walk away and
Speaker 1: things like that. So yeah, and then the second the
Speaker 1: show ended, we would just bolt and go to our
Speaker 1: respective vehicles and that was it. It was. It was
Speaker 1: tough spoken him recently. Uh No, we kind of did
Speaker 1: a couple of he did a phoner on my show,
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously I'm on his show. We were
Speaker 1: cordial and then that just kind of broke apart. It
Speaker 1: was sort of a a week peace treaty that didn't
Speaker 1: Quittin and Lewis, Mike and the Mad Dog, all the
Speaker 1: bands and things that you see, guns and roses and
Speaker 1: eagles like it happens. You know, it's twenty years, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty years with a beautiful wife that doesn't work a
Speaker 1: lot of times. Never mind, what from that? I know
Speaker 1: nine I was married nine years. Let's let's talk about
Speaker 1: maybe my favorite story. And we know one of the
Speaker 1: people involved other than you you were dating. It's up
Speaker 1: to you whether you want to mention the name Jill Nicolin.
Speaker 1: She's on the books book. So Jill Nicoline is a wonderful,
Speaker 1: beautiful local New York newscaster. Yeah, she was the traffic girl. Right,
Speaker 1: she does reports local, she goes out and she doesn't right. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we've met her. Now, I'll tell you after you hit
Speaker 1: the story. I don't want to. We had her up
Speaker 1: here on a five years ago for something. A lot
Speaker 1: of times the local stations will send people up to
Speaker 1: cover a major story. And so she was up here
Speaker 1: that day and very nice, oh very and all I
Speaker 1: could think about it was this story. I'm looking at her,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about laptops, I'm thinking about closets, and I'm
Speaker 1: family party, and I'm like both and I'm trying, and
Speaker 1: then i'm you know, and then there's all those new
Speaker 1: pictures are online. I couldn't something in that. And then
Speaker 1: I'm look at the new pictures. I'm going Anthony hit that,
Speaker 1: And that's what I could think about. He told me that,
Speaker 1: He's like I told him that. I said, listen, we
Speaker 1: have somebody coming up today. You've never met her. You
Speaker 1: probably seen on television. But if you don't remember the story,
Speaker 1: remember Anthony had that story. That's hard. That was the
Speaker 1: summer romance. How did you know the part? Okay, the
Speaker 1: part in the book I didn't understand, and I want
Speaker 1: to make sure you tell it. It's part of the story.
Speaker 1: As this what happened happened. There was a party in
Speaker 1: the house, right, Okay, a party going on in your house.
Speaker 1: Your girlfriend Jill is at the party. Yeah. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a party, like it was mine and Jill's party.
Speaker 1: It was under the families had Labor Day. Yeah, both
Speaker 1: families were their friends. A huge party involved. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: at that point, I'm sure he did the jacouz. He's
Speaker 1: got the jacouz. He's going. I mean barbecues and mixed drinks.
Speaker 1: It was great. And uh boy, there was just this
Speaker 1: girl from Canada that I had hooked up with a
Speaker 1: few times, and she was, oh yeah, invited her to
Speaker 1: this party because you thought something good would come from this.
Speaker 1: I was. I was always terrible at this. I was
Speaker 1: always very bad at the cheating thing. I got no
Speaker 1: game as far as cheating goes. I am all out there.
Speaker 1: Some Anthony's bat. Some people are bad at cheating in
Speaker 1: terms of they go out and then they lie about
Speaker 1: where they went, or they have lipstick on their collar. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You take it to a new level. You invite both
Speaker 1: women to your house. The flies over so stupid, and
Speaker 1: then you bring this Canadian girl up to your room.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I brought her up to my room. Well,
Speaker 1: Jill and her family are downstairs. Yeah. First we were
Speaker 1: fiddling around in the jacuzzi. You know, you can't see
Speaker 1: through those bubbles, so we're kind of sitting in the
Speaker 1: jacuzzi and uh, screwing around a little bit under the bubbles.
Speaker 1: Che Right assesses you to leave the party. Did you
Speaker 1: think for a second that that Jill wasn't going to
Speaker 1: come looking for you. Well, it was sort of the
Speaker 1: tail end of the party. It was like, I think
Speaker 1: the sun was coming up, a lot of people passed out,
Speaker 1: a lot of people had left. Yeah, so I figured,
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, not passed out. Uh no,
Speaker 1: she yeah, she had. Uh, I guess she was entertaining
Speaker 1: people and she had went out for something. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: thought she was gone, Okay, I'm gonna go out for
Speaker 1: beer or whatever she like. Yeah, yeah, I thought she
Speaker 1: was gone. And Canada, So I had Canada come up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: doing my duty is a good American. Uh and and
Speaker 1: uh then I hear I hear Jill pulling up in
Speaker 1: the driveway, and I'm like, oh here. I Am like
Speaker 1: this is red handed stuff right here. So I sent
Speaker 1: the Canadian to the walking closet. Had two big walking
Speaker 1: closets in the house. Yeah, and you yeah, I was
Speaker 1: in bed and in the closet. Yeah. She gets in
Speaker 1: the closet and Jill comes into the bedroom and uh,
Speaker 1: oh boy, I she she uh starts getting a little
Speaker 1: amorous with me. And that's a big word. It means yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. So if you know that way and keep
Speaker 1: quiet in the closet. She was keeping quiet in the closet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And but Jill, Jill had started doing stuff that exposed
Speaker 1: her to certain fragrances of yes. So she goes, what's
Speaker 1: that and like, I don't again, I had nothing like
Speaker 1: the Opie text. Okay, it must have been a wet dream.
Speaker 1: I was thinking of you. That would have been that
Speaker 1: would have been good. But yeah, so she looks around
Speaker 1: the room and walks towards the closet. She opens up
Speaker 1: one of the closets. It's not the one the Canadians
Speaker 1: in number one door number one. Now this is almost
Speaker 1: like when the when Opie's phone was going off. To
Speaker 1: walk over to the phone the closet, don't open the
Speaker 1: closet and uh so she walks back and she's really
Speaker 1: giving me like the what have you? She's mad, she
Speaker 1: knows something's up, um, but she didn't go back to
Speaker 1: the other closet right away. Uh. She's yelling, man, I'm
Speaker 1: like great, yelling at me. Keep it coming, you know,
Speaker 1: get mad and leave. Uh. But then she she looks
Speaker 1: at the other closet and goes over there and opens
Speaker 1: it and there's the pride of Canada sitting right in
Speaker 1: the middle of the floor and just and just waves
Speaker 1: to her, how are you doing? She was taff dress
Speaker 1: because she was putting her clothes on, like how are
Speaker 1: you doing? And Jill then uh ran out of the
Speaker 1: place and took off. Yeah it was terrible, but this
Speaker 1: this the more because she gets a little revenge on revenge,
Speaker 1: some property damage and on the Canadian and oh, it
Speaker 1: just was out of hand. I don't know. I've done
Speaker 1: horrible things like that in relationships and uh, what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? I've I've grown over the years. Right,
Speaker 1: Luckily nothing bad is happened to so you got right, right,
Speaker 1: It's not like there's karma. Howard Stern, Robin Howard Stern
Speaker 1: probably the reason a lot of us in radio, that's right,
Speaker 1: the king of all media, Robin no I I of
Speaker 1: course he's the legend, the legend, the biggest thing. And
Speaker 1: he'll be to tell you he invented everything, invented, you know,
Speaker 1: in retrospect, most of it as far is the point
Speaker 1: where he was at the beginning of his career, and
Speaker 1: as high the height of his Private Parts movie and
Speaker 1: his book. He was the inventor of much many things,
Speaker 1: and he was he was everything. Nothing as far as
Speaker 1: the modern day shock jock goes like that was him.
Speaker 1: Everybody when it's like, oh you're when people said, oh,
Speaker 1: you're a Howard wanna be and it's like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to be doing a show like that and and
Speaker 1: having that kind of success. Weird. Nobody looks at baseball
Speaker 1: players and says, oh, you're a Mickey Man, will wanna be?
Speaker 1: Want to be? Ye? Yeah? The guy, first of all,
Speaker 1: makes a hundred million dollars a year. He's at the time.
Speaker 1: He didn't have a hot wife, He had a nice wife.
Speaker 1: Couldn't have been more successful, reinvented the industry of radio.
Speaker 1: Who wouldn't want to emulate that? I saw Private Parts
Speaker 1: and I said I want to do that for a living? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that exactly. You know who wouldn't. And there's a way
Speaker 1: to take what he did, be inspired by it and
Speaker 1: do your own thing. Uh. And that's different than taking
Speaker 1: his bits verbatim and running We've done prank phone calls,
Speaker 1: of course, and people will go, you're ripping off Howard.
Speaker 1: He did that bit um. We did a bit which
Speaker 1: one was it? No? Yeah, one of his guys our
Speaker 1: prank phone call becaust and Elvis has a saying, if
Speaker 1: you steal something from us, it's been stolen twice. Right.
Speaker 1: We invent a lot of things. We've created a lot
Speaker 1: of things, but sometimes you borrow things and you make
Speaker 1: them better. We didn't invent the prank phone call, but
Speaker 1: being in New York and and and being able to
Speaker 1: call New Yorkers and we actually we we we feel
Speaker 1: like we have our own style of of busting on
Speaker 1: people and in a day talking to yourself, we get
Speaker 1: that we're nothing like that's what it was. There was
Speaker 1: nothing talking to yourself bit where we call we we
Speaker 1: usually somebody that's you know, we get them to say
Speaker 1: a bunch of phrases things that you record them, put
Speaker 1: them on a button bar, and then then have them
Speaker 1: talk to themselves. We actually did that first, like two
Speaker 1: thousand five to four. That was the one thing we
Speaker 1: did first. No one has done that before that to
Speaker 1: our knowledge, and so we would call it. We call
Speaker 1: a couple of places where we got some people that
Speaker 1: weren't the smartest so well you'd ask them questions like
Speaker 1: who's this. They'd say their name and they'll say, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, are you home right now? Yes? We get
Speaker 1: them to say certain phrases uh, and then we would
Speaker 1: play the phrases back, and because it was over the
Speaker 1: radio phone, they didn't recognize the voice, so people would
Speaker 1: gell at themselves and like, don't call here again, Like
Speaker 1: is this Joanne? I'm Joanne? I'm joe Anne anyway, and
Speaker 1: so they stole from us. So Howard is the king
Speaker 1: of all media. Right, you guys come to New York.
Speaker 1: You're doing afternoons at a radio station owned by the
Speaker 1: same company company. Howard's on k Rock, which was FM
Speaker 1: CBS in the mornings, and you were on any w
Speaker 1: CBS afternoons. Not really competition, but turned into a Leno
Speaker 1: Lederman thing where you couldn't book guests that he had
Speaker 1: on and yeah, he was not gracious. No, no, I
Speaker 1: think uh. And and without without patting ourselves on the back,
Speaker 1: we handled him differently than any other show handled Howard Stern.
Speaker 1: And because I was such a big fan, uh, I
Speaker 1: had an idea of how you could battle Howard without
Speaker 1: really battling him, and it was by having fun making
Speaker 1: fun of him. Uh. In a way like a fan
Speaker 1: would so that all of his fans wouldn't. If you
Speaker 1: come into New York and go, oh, how it Sterns sucks.
Speaker 1: We rule, all of his fans are gonna go, no,
Speaker 1: Howard rules, you suck. So it never works that way.
Speaker 1: You can't do it. But if you are such a
Speaker 1: big fan and you start goofing on the fact that
Speaker 1: he goes to the Hampton's on the weekends and you
Speaker 1: know he's Hollywood Howie and doing an impression of him,
Speaker 1: and and it's really deep, like you're doing an impression
Speaker 1: and doing material that only a fan would know, then
Speaker 1: the fans are gonna go, holy, that's kind of funny,
Speaker 1: like he does do that, Oh my god. And it
Speaker 1: was a great way to just chisel the way make
Speaker 1: him seem a little hypocritical, and and and the fans
Speaker 1: loved it, like we get you, like we get you, Howard,
Speaker 1: which we get it. Were just just bust them balls
Speaker 1: over me kind of a thing. By the way. You
Speaker 1: do great impressions, and a lot of them you do.
Speaker 1: Uh Chris Man dog Russo, who was a big national
Speaker 1: sports Oh yeah, yeah, you do. Don iMOS, don i'mos
Speaker 1: I amost in the morning program. All your jerk shut
Speaker 1: up McGirk. I and so you went on Howard before
Speaker 1: you were famous, and did didn't you do Howard? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to do like it was never a good impression.
Speaker 1: It's just kind of a video pression on video of
Speaker 1: you on his show. Yes. Yeah, before I ever got
Speaker 1: into radio is right before I did a Jackie the
Speaker 1: joke Man impersonation contest that they had any excuse to
Speaker 1: get into the studio. So when I called up, they
Speaker 1: were like, all right, come on in, and I was thrilled.
Speaker 1: I went in with a buddy of mind, Randy, and
Speaker 1: we drove into the city and got up into the
Speaker 1: old K Rock studios and it was a dream for me.
Speaker 1: I was standing there, Howard's behind the console, all the
Speaker 1: players are there, Fred and Jackie and Gary and Robin,
Speaker 1: and it was fantastic. And I, again, like I did
Speaker 1: with Opie, I figured I'm in there, I'm cutting loose
Speaker 1: so again, spinning the plates, juggling chainsaws, whatever I could do,
Speaker 1: And Howard's laughing his ass off, and I'm like, whoa,
Speaker 1: this is great. Like I'm making Howard. They're gonna hire
Speaker 1: away from Opie in hindsight, is a good thing. He
Speaker 1: didn't because I had taken the Howard job, and we
Speaker 1: all know how those guys don't make it two dimes
Speaker 1: to rub together if you work with Howard. But no,
Speaker 1: it was it was fantastic, and that was that I
Speaker 1: I went then with with Opie. But I always had
Speaker 1: that that thing of making Howard laugh. So I thought
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, who's that Anthony. That Anthony's a
Speaker 1: good He's good, he's funny. I was like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: is yeah, and so your idol knows who you are.
Speaker 1: He thinks you're talented. And then it went south because
Speaker 1: you guys blew up in the ratings. You became number one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now he's not the only talk of New York. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he feels he's got kind of squash anybody that's making
Speaker 1: a name for themselves in radio. I guess even though
Speaker 1: we weren't a competitor, he knows how radio is, and
Speaker 1: we very well could have been a competitor at any moment,
Speaker 1: gotten hired away by If you two idiots can do it,
Speaker 1: then it diminishes what right, right, I'm the only guy
Speaker 1: whould be number one because the number one then it's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: anybody come to New York and the number one? I
Speaker 1: want to hear a little bit more about about current
Speaker 1: Anthony kobia, like the podcast, So, how is that how
Speaker 1: your your radio show blew up? You were let go
Speaker 1: by serious exams. I want to for the listener to
Speaker 1: everybody up. You lose the gig going along, you can
Speaker 1: figure out how what happened. It happened, and then you
Speaker 1: don't have a show for a while, and the internet
Speaker 1: exists and you decide you're going to do something with yourself. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was up and running a month after I got fired.
Speaker 1: That's how quickly, because we know that's how you had
Speaker 1: to do it. It had to be quick. People forget
Speaker 1: very quickly. And I had a studio built in my
Speaker 1: house already. I for years I loved the idea of
Speaker 1: just being home a news event happens, or I just
Speaker 1: feel like it popping on, going online and putting a
Speaker 1: show out there for people HD video so I could
Speaker 1: have news clips and a cry on and and a
Speaker 1: lower third, like I wanted it to look like the news,
Speaker 1: but with me just saying ridiculous stuff. So I it
Speaker 1: had to be professional. So I had this studio in
Speaker 1: my house, thank god, because then when I got fired, Uh,
Speaker 1: my buddy Keith, the cop is just like, you got
Speaker 1: this studio down there, let's switch, let's figure it out.
Speaker 1: You know. All we really needed was the logistics of
Speaker 1: getting it out to a lot of people at once. Uh.
Speaker 1: So you know you need a company that hosts the
Speaker 1: servers and and things like that, the technical end. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and that took about a month and we were up
Speaker 1: and running as a subscriber service, a subscribed service. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it was great. I was actually surprised at how
Speaker 1: quickly we were able to get that done. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then as time went on, we realized a lot of
Speaker 1: other shows I want to do this. They want the
Speaker 1: ability to get on and be completely uncensored. And uh,
Speaker 1: we picked up a few shows. You're a pioneer because
Speaker 1: a lot of them, a lot of the shows are
Speaker 1: away behind the carve. You were ahead of it. You
Speaker 1: started this in what the summer fourteen, the the current show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but even before that, like I said, I was doing
Speaker 1: the live from the compound from my house while I
Speaker 1: was still working at Serious for years before that. So
Speaker 1: even Joe Rogan, who has a very successful podcast, listen
Speaker 1: to it. We're up against him in in a podcast, right,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't love his fans. But he even said, like,
Speaker 1: it was your show from your house that inspired me
Speaker 1: to go, Yeah, why wouldn't somebody just grab a mic
Speaker 1: and and do a show like that? So, guys, I
Speaker 1: have to give you credit. Not only did you put
Speaker 1: girls in Gallon dramas, but you, to my knowledge as
Speaker 1: a listener and a student of radio, one of the
Speaker 1: first shows to put webcams in the studio yea, to
Speaker 1: film things, to to make it a multimedia experience. I
Speaker 1: mean how it had the show on e but you
Speaker 1: guys had like a webcam that was taking like pictures,
Speaker 1: like like a couple of frames, a couple of streamed
Speaker 1: at like one frame every ten seconds or something. And
Speaker 1: then you put cameras in every Mike station that followed
Speaker 1: you around the room. That was stuff that nobody was doing, right, Eric, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was that. And then it upgraded to the pal
Speaker 1: Talk service where it was live streaming and they were
Speaker 1: interacting with us live on the air as the show.
Speaker 1: It was a video conferencing system called pal Talk. It
Speaker 1: was yeah, and it was on my laptop in front
Speaker 1: of me. So people could watch me and do the show,
Speaker 1: and I would be watching monitors, like eight different feeds
Speaker 1: from people from their house, most of them naked girls
Speaker 1: in bed. So I would sit doing the show watch that.
Speaker 1: And Opie hated that one, oh because he knew sometimes
Speaker 1: I was just horribly distracted. Uh, but you know I
Speaker 1: had to get the next Canadian closet girl, so I
Speaker 1: was focus. I was shopping. It was online shopping for me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: multimedia was not something. I'll take that one. And we
Speaker 1: know we never referenced, but real quick whip them out.
Speaker 1: Wednesday was you guys put bumper stickers on your cars.
Speaker 1: It's a w W would open Anthony logo and you
Speaker 1: put the like we've put the Z free money sticker
Speaker 1: right right, put the money sticker on your car and
Speaker 1: if we spot it, you get a hundred dollars right
Speaker 1: there you go. Every radio station has done that. You
Speaker 1: guys had girls flash. Yeah people if you if you
Speaker 1: had on your car, girls would flash the drivers of
Speaker 1: the car. Yeah, we asked the girls and then you'd
Speaker 1: go live to people. You were sticker spotting, but it
Speaker 1: was a different kind of sticker spotting. Yeah, we'd do
Speaker 1: sticker stops and those were hilarious because Earl from the
Speaker 1: show would go out and do it and it was
Speaker 1: some some catastrophe would always happen. It was naked women right, right,
Speaker 1: more naked women. Right. So you're doing the Compound show.
Speaker 1: The again, the pal talk thing was revolutionary. Now you're
Speaker 1: doing the Compound show. You have nine shows, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think we're up to nine and always looking and
Speaker 1: adding new ones we get. We're in talks with other
Speaker 1: people as we speak, and uh yeah, it's just building
Speaker 1: up into something that I never expected. I thought, here
Speaker 1: I am, I'm damaged goods. I need a platform and
Speaker 1: and we kind of put something together that a lot
Speaker 1: of other shows are are really um clamoring to get
Speaker 1: on because they want to speak openly and honestly. Podcasts
Speaker 1: that are out there and the numbers growing over how
Speaker 1: and somebody that might be listening to this it might
Speaker 1: be inspired, like what do you look for? What do
Speaker 1: you because I mean, because now you're now you're also
Speaker 1: a producer to you're not You're not just oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is your compound. You have to like I could
Speaker 1: tell when people are appreciative of the freedom that they
Speaker 1: can have at Compound Media. Uh and and and the
Speaker 1: shows reflect that. In Hot Water with Geno Bisconti and
Speaker 1: Aharonberg is a show that we have on in the
Speaker 1: morning that I I watch and listen to and go, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's way over the line. I'm horrified by some of
Speaker 1: the stuff I see on that shows. Did you call
Speaker 1: the I reported them immediately. Uh, they're going to hru Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh. But that's the kind of shows. I want
Speaker 1: guys that are willing to take those chances, fearless that
Speaker 1: all they need is that platform that isn't gonna fire them.
Speaker 1: I don't want a filter on people. Once you have
Speaker 1: a filter, it it takes away from the funny. You know,
Speaker 1: a joke can be hilariously funny. A second later, it's okay.
Speaker 1: Two seconds later, it's not even funny anymore. And if
Speaker 1: you're trying to think of who you might offend, or
Speaker 1: you're scared for your job or this, you're gonna filter things.
Speaker 1: And it's detrimental to actual comments right there. Is why
Speaker 1: when when you when I tweet a joke out on
Speaker 1: you know, because that's where I sometimes let my other
Speaker 1: side out. People go too soon. You don't understand how
Speaker 1: a comics mind works. It's like if you say cold,
Speaker 1: I'm saying hot, like immediately, like, so the joke has
Speaker 1: to get out. It's almost like like a fart. You
Speaker 1: have to let it out right, so you get the
Speaker 1: fart out of the far out of your system. You
Speaker 1: tweet the joke. It's up to you as the as
Speaker 1: the listener or the tweet reader to decide when you're
Speaker 1: ready for it. I'm ready the minute it pops into
Speaker 1: my head. I can't hold the joke. And because what
Speaker 1: happens is you tweet the joke three days later when
Speaker 1: it's acceptable, and they go, yeah, so and so did
Speaker 1: that a fourth guy. You gotta be first only because
Speaker 1: you want people to appreciate the joke. Jokes. Yeah, too soon,
Speaker 1: Lincoln sat in the theater. It's too soon. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we played the play. You have this this
Speaker 1: snowflake jingle. So whenever we have like a snowflake story,
Speaker 1: people get offended. I can't believe it's so offensive. We
Speaker 1: play this music real quick, up, snowflake alert. Here it comes.
Speaker 1: It's just an old song from and So. The beauty
Speaker 1: of your show, like she said, is no filter. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: and you don't have time to think about whether or
Speaker 1: not you should say it or not. Yeah, yeah, now
Speaker 1: you own, you run. This is your thing, Compound media,
Speaker 1: as you would write, you the compound right, Well, let's
Speaker 1: give the compound media dot com. With all that said,
Speaker 1: if you've been paying attention to this, this podcast today,
Speaker 1: I can't guarantee you won't be fired by this thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even though you own it, isn't it weird? It's still
Speaker 1: a five percent chance you could get fired. It gets
Speaker 1: me nervous when I see, like the Papa John guy
Speaker 1: gets fired, has to step down because he's doing things
Speaker 1: on Twitter. This is gonna be a reference no one's
Speaker 1: gonna get. But there's an eighties band called Docking. They've fired.
Speaker 1: You can't fire Doc. The band was named Dock and
Speaker 1: they fired him. So I prematurely asked the question because
Speaker 1: it was in the middle of a great story. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back to it now. How do you
Speaker 1: how do you handle this now? With this culture? Could
Speaker 1: you fire somebody who knows what we can? We could
Speaker 1: be fired for having you on our podcast. Built by association.
Speaker 1: We just let it fly, let it fly, put it
Speaker 1: out there. So, so how do you how do it?
Speaker 1: How have you changed? It's uh, I haven't. You're there,
Speaker 1: I am now you were worried about your own more,
Speaker 1: not worrying. I was horrified by But but people love
Speaker 1: it and I think it's great. It's such a weird
Speaker 1: time wherein people want to be outraged. They they're they're
Speaker 1: they're looking at things, they're seeking out things to be
Speaker 1: mad at. Social media is the bane of of of
Speaker 1: society these days. It's the worst thing you could do
Speaker 1: is go on social media. If you're a young kid
Speaker 1: and you want to have some kind of career in
Speaker 1: the future, What the hell are you thinking posting because
Speaker 1: you don't know something you right today, that's fine in
Speaker 1: ten years, could be the worst thing ever ever said.
Speaker 1: There's like that that Major League Baseball a picture he
Speaker 1: was like, oh, he made the All Star Game, Denne
Speaker 1: became famous. They found he had racist tweets. He had
Speaker 1: tweets that I know a guy who got fired for tweets.
Speaker 1: It happened. Yes, it does happen, and you just, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've divorced myself from social media and that it's one
Speaker 1: more divorce. But all of it is just so bad
Speaker 1: for society too. We've I think when it first came out,
Speaker 1: everyone thought, this is great. We're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: exchange ideas and and uh socialized, and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good thing. And we instantly brought it down to
Speaker 1: the lowest common denomina just crapping on each other over criticizing.
Speaker 1: Because everybody has amplifications everyone everyone's opinion is equal. Some
Speaker 1: of these people don't deserve to be amplified. And you
Speaker 1: have access. I say it all the time. It's like,
Speaker 1: do you think Clark Gable had to put up with
Speaker 1: people telling him Gone with the winds sunk? Like, no,
Speaker 1: you would have to find like what's the addressed to Metro.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a hand out in the stamp, and
Speaker 1: then his people are gonna read it first. And if
Speaker 1: he says Gone with the wind suck, they're not giving
Speaker 1: it to him. Now it's like, oh, yeah, your movie sucks.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have that kind of access. And you know what, people,
Speaker 1: I have a rule if I talk about someone, I
Speaker 1: don't ever tweet at them, Like if I'm gonna complain
Speaker 1: about a movie or a baseball player, and then people
Speaker 1: will will reply and they'll add that person in and
Speaker 1: they go to I tell him to go, don't do that.
Speaker 1: If I wanted to let Mike Piazza know that I'm
Speaker 1: mad at my Piazza, I will tweet at Mike Piazza.
Speaker 1: If I just write Mike Piazza, no at that's because
Speaker 1: I just want my fans and my followers and my
Speaker 1: mad friend friends to go, oh brody and opinion on
Speaker 1: my Piazza. I don't want my Piazza to know I
Speaker 1: have He'll catch heat because oh, you're a pussy copying him.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna copy him for Yeah, you don't get to
Speaker 1: make that to see. Yeah, you know, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about him, I'm gonna let him know what you
Speaker 1: talk about because now you're the one telling him. That's
Speaker 1: like if I go, that's like if I can call
Speaker 1: up open now and go, you know anything, just talking
Speaker 1: about you should listen to this podcast. He knows blessed
Speaker 1: if hope he wants to plug this podcast, he's mother
Speaker 1: the welcome listen. I have no beat, he played my songs,
Speaker 1: he pushed the start button. It's all fair, that's all good.
Speaker 1: Uh So people want to subscribe? Did they go to
Speaker 1: Compound Media again promo code compound for new subscriptions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's only because of the Brooklyn Boys. If you
Speaker 1: don't listen to this podcast, you'd never get that exclusive.
Speaker 1: It's like Monty Burr, you put my name in by
Speaker 1: the microphones. Now, we we joked about this because we
Speaker 1: do this podcast. We don't we get paid for it.
Speaker 1: We do it after hours, right. We made a joke
Speaker 1: once you saw many people listening were like, you know,
Speaker 1: and we've said it on the podcast. If we charged
Speaker 1: ten cents an episode, just ten cents or a quarter
Speaker 1: a month we do one week, like if you like us,
Speaker 1: I would pay ten cents for a podcast I like
Speaker 1: fully ten sense sense did I figured it out to go?
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be doing very well right right? Yeah, granted
Speaker 1: you are more successful than we are, and I'm fine
Speaker 1: with that. You could be humble. You charge a little
Speaker 1: more than ten cents. We have a higher overhead, you
Speaker 1: have that green screens, and you gotta pay for the
Speaker 1: Rocks salary band with right bandwidth. But people are willing
Speaker 1: and I understand it. Well, we're not in the world now.
Speaker 1: We pay for Netflix, right, we pay for Hulu, we
Speaker 1: pay for Spotify, we pay my heart. Radios free, but
Speaker 1: you pay for the things you you're willing to pay right,
Speaker 1: You're willing to pay for HBO back in the day,
Speaker 1: Like pay for HBO. Now you're like, I couldn't live
Speaker 1: it out HBO. Of course, if something is your niche,
Speaker 1: you'll pay for it. Yeah. We live in a world
Speaker 1: where you don't have to listen to something that's not
Speaker 1: really what I like, but I watch it. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: and and it's kind of a safety too, because when
Speaker 1: you just depend on sponsors, you're opening yourself up to
Speaker 1: vulnerability of having people boycott. We're just having threatening pull
Speaker 1: sponsors and now you're screwed again. You never lost the pinnacle,
Speaker 1: horny goat weed spots or he that Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I've been reading a lot of articles and seeing interviews
Speaker 1: that a lot of these people are saying that subscription
Speaker 1: is the future keeping this to great content alive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you can't depend on uh, some other entity to
Speaker 1: keep you going because they'll get to them and then
Speaker 1: you're screwed. We have a couple of sponsors, but it's
Speaker 1: not like you know, it's supplements what we're doing instead
Speaker 1: of we're living or dying by by the sponsor. Uh.
Speaker 1: So we got people that subscribe. They're great, they support
Speaker 1: what we're doing, and they do appreciate again that that
Speaker 1: you know, we're saying whatever the hell we want, and
Speaker 1: it's it's great, this is great. I have to say selfishly,
Speaker 1: I would keep you here another three hours, you know, right,
Speaker 1: because I think legitimately two eighteen as we're recording this,
Speaker 1: until a nineteen years that I've been a fan. I
Speaker 1: remember we have a mutual friend or you do a
Speaker 1: great impression of that, I'm gonna ask you to do.
Speaker 1: No one's gonna get I used to headline Governor's Comedy
Speaker 1: Club out in Long Island. I was in a comedy
Speaker 1: group and we we headlined Wednesday nights for about ten years.
Speaker 1: Comics would open for us. We would headline, so we
Speaker 1: had Kevin James, Lisa Lympinelli, some big name comics would
Speaker 1: come and open for us. But it was hosted by
Speaker 1: the morning show at B A B. Right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And so Bob came to me one day. He knew
Speaker 1: I was a comedian at the time and sketch comedy
Speaker 1: improv guy, and he said, uh, you know there's a
Speaker 1: I said, hey, have you had these guys. I read
Speaker 1: in the paper that there's a new show in New
Speaker 1: York Opie and Anthony, and apparently they worked at B
Speaker 1: A B at some point he was the morning show
Speaker 1: guy Pep and you can do the voice. But he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: these guys are they really talented. I gotta say that,
Speaker 1: you're gonna really like them. Yeah, yeah, Bob was Bob
Speaker 1: wanted me to do his show. Uh. When me and
Speaker 1: Opie were negotiating with Boston, they came to me and actually,
Speaker 1: Bob's like, we're gonna, We're gonna give you this opportunity.
Speaker 1: Anthony here at w B A V. You want, you want,
Speaker 1: you want the you want the seven to midnight. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute, you're offering me Opie's show
Speaker 1: when Opie already said he'd go to Boston with me
Speaker 1: as a team, like that, what a what a that
Speaker 1: would be a scumbag move right there. I take his job.
Speaker 1: And then and then Boston goes, well, we we wanted
Speaker 1: Opie and Anthony, and so I I turned that down.
Speaker 1: H yeah, because I didn't know from radio. I need
Speaker 1: to learn with that. On the flip side Z one
Speaker 1: at the morning show, I was dur in the morning show.
Speaker 1: I worked here. I was freelancing, sending in song parody scripts.
Speaker 1: I was faxing them in back in the day. I
Speaker 1: was sending cassettes in, you know, and uh. I hung
Speaker 1: out and I wrote jokes and whatever. They're like, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: you can come back anytime you want. They didn't no
Speaker 1: job for me. They had nothing. They was just like,
Speaker 1: you can come in the morning. They said, you can
Speaker 1: come in. I was writing jokes for Leno and Bill
Speaker 1: Maher and Conan O'Brien, and I was I was hanging
Speaker 1: out in the studio. One morning, I was writing jokes
Speaker 1: and I was writing on a napkin with a sharpie,
Speaker 1: like it was just splotchy. There was no smartphones. And
Speaker 1: Elvis says to me, what are you doing over there?
Speaker 1: I go, I'm writing some monologue jokes for Jay Leno.
Speaker 1: He was let me see those. So he looks at it.
Speaker 1: He was looks at Elliot, who was our host at
Speaker 1: the time. He says, if you're gonna stand in this
Speaker 1: studio and write jokes, you write them for me. Get
Speaker 1: him some scrap paper. And so I became the joke
Speaker 1: writer of the show. But I wasn't getting paid so
Speaker 1: my wife says to me, listen, if you want to
Speaker 1: hang out with these guys and learn radio, quit your job.
Speaker 1: I'll support you. Go wow. Yeah, different story than than
Speaker 1: yours on the flip side. No threesomes in my life.
Speaker 1: And so I went to Bob Buckman and I said
Speaker 1: one Wednesday night when he was there, I said, Bob, listen,
Speaker 1: I have this opportunity to be on the morning show,
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna pay me. And he said, I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you. You get a foot in the door
Speaker 1: because you gotta take it. That's it because this industry,
Speaker 1: because you get in. You gotta get in. That's the key. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just get in, impressed them, make a job for yourself.
Speaker 1: And so Bob was really the guy and my wife
Speaker 1: who pushed me to do radio and to take the
Speaker 1: leap quit my real job, which was I was in retail.
Speaker 1: Not you know, similar crappy job for me. It was miserable.
Speaker 1: If you haven't read telling you love it that's great.
Speaker 1: My wife, when we came back from Boston after that
Speaker 1: first interview we had on the Answering Machine, was like, hey,
Speaker 1: we want to hire you. I'm like, whoa, this is amazing.
Speaker 1: Oh my God. The wife is like, because they said
Speaker 1: they would give me, it worked out to be five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year less than I was making doing construction.
Speaker 1: And my wife's like, you call them and tell them
Speaker 1: you need to make what you're making right now. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, this dummy doesn't understand that in six months
Speaker 1: they're gonna give me a raise. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 1: This is a career. It's not that someday you'd make
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Give her Yeah, so yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: so so so being the man I was, I was
Speaker 1: gonna show her. I picked up the phone, made like
Speaker 1: I dialed Boston and I'm like, well, listen here you
Speaker 1: I need Meanwhile, it's going Matt Matt, Matt, mac off
Speaker 1: the and uh. I hung the phone up. I'm like,
Speaker 1: well they went for it. She's like, good, see that's
Speaker 1: what you gotta go. She's not gonna know five hundred
Speaker 1: a year more or less, whatever, shut up, just as
Speaker 1: long as she's getting her Jack Daniels, I gotta say, Anthony,
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan. Brody's a super fan. As you
Speaker 1: can say, Um, you gotta pick up this book. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to get through the rest of it. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's permanently suspended. The rise and fall and rise again
Speaker 1: of radio's most notorious shock jock, Anthony Kumia. And of
Speaker 1: course don't forget Compound Media dot com and from new
