Yeah, 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.320 this is and by the way, just so you know, 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.600 when you hear the interview, this is all time shifted. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.960 We recorded this on a separate day, right, and so 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.760 we already know it's a great interview.

We're gonna play 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.440 it back at the end of this part of that. 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.320 You can jump ahead, but we'll we'll introduce and explaining 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.800 interview when we get to it. But it's long, but 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.080 it's worth it. Yeah, and it's we can tell him 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:41.000 who it is, well, you know it's in the podcast descriptions. 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.800 So it's Anthony Kumia from from a radio show that 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:49.400 went was nationally syndicated. It was a huge show in America, 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:55.760 but especially in New York from that's fifteen years and 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.400 also if you're if you listen to us here in Boston, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.480 you might remember them from there. Out on Long Island 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.520 was where they got their start, of course, but they 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.120 were on serious satellite radio and mornings and afternoons in 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.760 they feuded with Howard all the time. They were kind 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.040 of a big deal and uh, little did we know 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.040 there was a lot of drama going on backs behind 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.560 the scenes. The co host didn't like each other for 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.840 most of the time they worked together. We got a 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.800 little behind it. I mean, they did a show much 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.840 different than the others Train Morning show and I'm I'm 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.479 a fan, but Brody you are and I said it, 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.320 you are a super fan. So I I actually at 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.039 the time, uh signed up for satellite radio because to 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.400 hear their show. And they're great guys. But Anthony specifically, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.559 who's going to be here? He wrote a book called 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.880 Permanently Suspended because he gets fired and suspended from job. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.080 Here's the thing. If you don't know who Anthony is, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.559 even if we just described into you, well you didn't 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.479 like the show back in the day, irrelevant. This is 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.719 a funny interview with a guy who just bears his soul, 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.240 talks about everything. We had a lot of fun with him, 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.240 Brooklyn Boys style. He laid it all out on the 0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.960 tip And so if you ever wondered what a radio 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.360 a show sounds like, that does really crazy stuff that 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.800 we would never get away with on on the air. Uh, 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.520 It's it's a nice little look into the world of 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.839 radio and the fact that he was feuding with his 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.400 co host all time, and that text message, I'll forget 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.839 about it all right. Luckily you and I get along 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.440 for now. But I do, as always, have a bone 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.719 to pick with you. Of course you do. Is it 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.880 a turkey like a wishbone or something. It's about cheese Thanksgiving, 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:30.279 It's about cheesecakes. There's an Italian restaurant near our radio station, 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.440 right is Peppolino's Pepino Pepolinos and by the way, with 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.120 a name like Peppolinos. You know, the food is good, right, 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.599 the food is great. But it was a point where 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.640 I had never been there. We had moved into this 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.720 area to these studios, and we were here for years, 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.000 and every time Scary and I walked by this place, 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.840 he said, you know, the cheesecake is one of the 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.800 highest rated cheesecakes in New York. It's true. And I 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.640 would say, yeah, yeah, and you told me jus famous 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.760 cheesecake right here. But this place has got is the 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.640 gat rating. It's okay, And every every time we would 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.800 pass it, secare we go? You know this play?

Couch by the way, f you obnoxious color guy, 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.160 it's brown blue. No, it's it's when you get clote. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.120 When you got on the catalog online, did you this 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.480 is slate? Okay, the shirts slate, I'll tell you. I 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:47.000 just want just bought jeans and I went with the 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.000 colors Brody, So I bought, I went and back.

But 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.199 I had to try to remember what they are. So 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:08.000 there's medium wash light tinted wash, which is like authentic light. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.400 Is that dark rich indigo you've never seen, like like quartz, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:19.040 That shirt is quartz.

What is authentic light as opposed to light 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.360 tint is that light tinted isn't even light. It's dark, 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.800 but not as dark as the dark rich in. They go, Okay, 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.440 if you could have colors like quartz and slate and 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.600 and and emerald, I can have.

My couches there, My couches there for aesthetics. 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.080 And it's modular furniture. It's modern contemporary living. Okay, it's 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.000 so so that's a lot of words, not modern contemporary living. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.440 Who calls the furniture that it's modular? It's got his 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.160 fit in my apartment. My apartment has a very specific 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.280 dimension to it.

If it's 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.800 for free, it's for me. That's how we feel. Anyway. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.720 So Brian comes over and he does this every time. 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:41.840 And I don't know if you have a friend that 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.480 does this or if you've ever done it growing up. 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.800 I have good friends. This is what he does. He 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.040 goes out, he sees all his friends at night, gets drunk, 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.520 ties one on, and he comes home to my apartment 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:54.920 and at three o'clock in the morning, somewhere in the 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.600 middle of the night, he broke a tooth on the couch. 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.200 I jumped ahead, I'm sorry. He goes into my bathroom 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.120 and he falls asleep on the toilet, still softer than 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:08.360 your couch. Hashtag toilet Brian, hashtag toilet bed. He literally, 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.720 he literally comes in and I don't know what it is. 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.720 He gets drunk. When he's drunk, he will come in 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.520 and he will go in the bathroom and he will 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.200 sit on the toilet.

We'll share a room and the 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:37.840 fucking guy is in the bathroom with the door open. Well, 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:39.800 he can't only see much because he's like, you know, 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.840 covering he's but he slumped over and he's he's on 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.480 the toilet.

Here's the worst part. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.920 He doesn't even he doesn't even go into the bathroom. 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.440 He just sits on the toilet, pulls his pants downs 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.120 it's on the toilet, and leans over and slumps over, 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.480 and he falls asleep in that position for hours. The 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.560 good positions, the toilet is comfortable. Well, why does he 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:13.920 do that? Now? Last night? Thing? Hold on before you 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.159 call him. He went out with all his boys, right, 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.760 didn't invite you? Did he? Pretty much? Wow?

He's 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:51.120 probably still distance. The guy passes out and he doesn't 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.119 wake up for hours. I'm over for two here. Ronnie 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.760 would answer my calls? You have the worst friends? What 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.400 is it? What does his phone number come up?

I 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.880 don't know if toilet Brian needs an intervention. I don't 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:10.200 know if I should just let him to sleep on 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.440 the toilet. You know, I say it's you know, Mikasa sukasa, 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.400 but he takes it to a whole new level. This guy, 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.840 he really does. Let me get him right now. You 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.639 got him on the phone. I can answer your apartment phone. No, 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.720 I'm calling his house. I'm calling his line again. You 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.120 should call Ronnie and Briant and see if we'll it's 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:30.800 out to the place a bed. Who's gonna see a phone? 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.439 The two voice mails will be talking to each other 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.200 because they're not. Neither one of them is answering my 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.560 calls to This is wasted time on a podcast. Your 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.600 friends don't like you. What is I'll put this? They 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.600 don't want to answer my fucking call. I think it's 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:47.359 your couch truthfully, okay, anyway, toilet Brian, he this is 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.080 what I don't know. But where have you passed out before? Drunk? 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.440 Where have you? I mean, isn't a toilet bowl? Just 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.199 slumped over a weird place? And you think he might 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.560 have a secret fetish with that? Does he dream about it? 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:00.680 And I think you sit down with the intention to 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.560 go into the bathroom before you go to bed, so well, 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.720 he could have peen, he could have flushed, and he 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.600 just sits there hours in a time. Did I do 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:10.439 that when I'm awake and sober? How is he up? 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.760 How has he hurt his back? I don't know. I'm 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.520 just saying it's just a little weird for me. Anyway, 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.680 this is what happens. This is a Thanksgiving traditions from me, 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.280 the holiday traditions. Honest, my friends come in and they 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.760 use me for my toilet and my bed and my 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.800 and my freaking and my my. Again, don't mention couch 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:29.040 because they don't use it for that. Absolutely, don't. I think. 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:30.800 I think if we put up a pole, you should 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.639 put up a pole on Brooklyn. Boys, wtf would you 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:38.280 rather have a comfortable couch or a magazine worthy couch 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:41.800 because you did not buy that couch for comfort, but 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:43.680 I wanted to look nice when people walk in, so 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.159 then they don't want to sit down though. You know what, 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.399 you can't have it both ways. You get yourself a 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.639 big leather couch with double recliners, and that's people like, 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:58.000 oh yeah, Corny's not right. Now most of our audience 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.320 has them. I have them. I'm sure they do of them, 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:01.879 I know, but I want to hit the button on 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.640 the side, put my feater up. My mother and father 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.879 have that. I can lay down. The armrest is a 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:12.600 pillow done after Thanksgiving, me a meal off, watching the 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.680 football game, and then you push on the armrest and 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:18.320 it reclines. Nothing better than that. I would never have 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.000 that in my apartment. You will never see that. You 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.159 want to sit on that hard brown espresso couch. You 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.520 sit down, your pants fall and you're like stuffed, but vomit. 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:28.600 I'm sorry. I want a nice looking apartment. I want 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.720 everything to look beautiful. I'd rather be comfortable beautiful. So 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:33.919 so you know what, you sack your Felix on Oscar 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.680 and the odd couple. Okay, so so be it that 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.520 that's the case. By the way, I want a public service. 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.760 I've been wanting to just want a public service. I 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:45.840 want to give everybody a public service announcement for Thanksgiving Day. Okay, Um, 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:49.520 this has bothered me, boggled my mind actually for several years, 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.359 and every every Thanksgiving morning I issue the same tweet. 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.600 There are so many people brodie that are fooled. They 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.280 don't realize that by pre Brian Turkey. Nope, that on 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:03.400 Thanksgiving morning when they go watch the parade, people don't 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:08.720 realize it. But only NBC has the official rights to 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:13.200 the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. So what is what do 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:17.560 they get? They get Al Roker and everybody and Savannah 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.960 whoever is they're They're all sitting there and they have 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.480 all the attention on. They got front and center, they 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.000 got the best view, they got everything. They show you 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:32.719 the entire parade. They are, they are the officials. They 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:36.360 show you the head on when the when the parade 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:40.199 float stops in front of Macy's and they performance of performances. 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.520 By the way, those were filmed in August. Well, I 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:45.760 know know something. You know not when the floats stops 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:48.280 in front of Maze, it's all lip SYNCD. It's all taped. 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.520 That's lip sync. But no, but but no, the visual 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:53.879 of the float coming down and the artists on the 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.000 float is live. No, no, no, no no, it's live 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:58.479 until I get to the front of Macy's and they 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:02.840 cut the old footage of people singing. Those people are 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:06.480 gonna sing in the cold. You can't see their breath 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:08.480 and you can't see their breath. It was taped on 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.560 No no, no, the the audio soundtrack is, but not 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:16.000 the video. No no, no, oh no, it's all taped earlier. 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:20.359 We've talked to artists that no, no, no, no, no, no, Brodie, 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:22.640 you're getting it. They filmed, I'm telling you, they filmed 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:27.359 months in advance, months, no months. When you on Thanksgiving 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.320 morning when you see those floats coming down, and then 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.480 they say, all right, and now here's Michael Bublet on 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:39.360 this float. Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Singing acts prerecorded, They 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:44.440 prerecord the vocals, the audio is prerecording. No, but no, 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:46.640 but Brodie, you still can't see their breath because their 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:49.800 lips sinking. So you're but that lip sinking is done. 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:52.399 Even when you when you lip sink, you breathe and 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:56.600 and cold air comes out. You're wrong, Brodie, b You're wrong. 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:58.440 But but that we had we had a band on 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:01.120 here that admitted that they taped it ready. I think 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:02.920 it was one direction when they were still together, they said, 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:04.960 oh yeah, we already recorded. Might be one or two acts, 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:07.960 but the majority of them are live. But that wasn't 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:13.440 my point. You always divert me. I never divert. My 0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:15.840 point was, oh, did you see what they have? An ken? 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:18.800 I'm kidding. I was that was a joke because I diverted. 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:22.200 It's all good. But my point is this on Thanksgiving morning, 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:26.480 everybody's watching NBC except for those people that don't realize 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:31.000 that they're getting a bootleg version of the parade on CBS. 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:34.560 Hey is NBC a sponsor? I don't know about No Brody, 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:40.080 I'm being honest, And people listening to this podcast on CDs. 0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:44.640 The parade is called the Thanksgiving Day Parade, and their 0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:49.119 cameras and their footage advantage point is like like from 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.520 a fucking rooftop that they convinced somebody to let them 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:54.639 like hang out there for a while. I get it, 0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.360 it's not they don't get and they don't get the performances. 0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.280 They don't get the and now here's the rockets. They 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.520 don't get any of that. Maybe maybe get the soundtrack. 0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:04.920 They don't get any of that. They get their reporters. 0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.560 So a lot of people are like, why am I 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.680 watching balloons go by? But there's no performances. This is 0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:14.119 boring this year. So every Thanksgiving morning I issue a 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:19.440 tweet that says, Hey, everybody, the macy Thanks Parade is 0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:22.280 on NBC. They're the ones with the full rights to 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:26.480 the whole thing. Question, And then people are thanking me 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.360 on Twitter for pointing that out. Be like, oh my god, 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:32.240 I was watching CBS the whole time. CBS gives you 0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:34.560 a boot like all the other channels give you a 0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:37.240 bootleg version of the parade because they're not they're not 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.679 the actual people that are sponsored every question. Yeah, um, 0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:43.959 you have an appearance on Thanksgiving Day? Right? Correct? Uh? 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.920 And uh you get paid a little extra because it's Thanksgiving. Yes, 0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:50.560 where's that appearance on Thursday? It's at Macy's. Harold Square, 0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:56.480 hit the chiggle, your bastard, hit this whole thing.

But 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:04.120 that's a five PM. That's a matter. Client has nothing 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:06.000 to do you stuck it up to Macy's.

How do you not know 0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:29.639 that this is about I don't think it's amazing thing, 0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:32.959 that it's a major thing. People. Okay, people switch all 0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:37.840 up people, you know what? The balloons go by and 0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:40.760 with no performances, which by the way, are done right 0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:43.000 then and there, but their lip SYNCD they are not 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.720 done in August. I don't know what you're talking about, Brodie. 0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:48.639 They prerecord all the voices and some relations, but not 0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.240 that they're telling you. Sometimes the artists can't be there, 0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:55.280 so they prerecord it, so they prerecord video of them walk, 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:57.600 you know, flying down, they roll the thing up, so 0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.359 they so they block off four street us for that 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:04.640 in August.

And by 0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:16.640 the way, when you see that, it'll only be on NBC. 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:22.680 It won't be on CBS video. You are so thick 0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:27.000 headed sometimes, but I'm right, you're wrong no, the voices, 0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:30.400 they don't sing, they lip sync. That's done in advance, 0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:33.800 but not the video.

It's Chris Steakhouse was in New Orleans, 0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.840 I think, and Ruth bought it. So it's it's it's 0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:15.600 harror because you don't want to change your name because 0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:18.480 it was established already as Chris Steakhouse, right, so it's 0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:24.160 Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, not Ruth Chris. Yeah, Ruth's. You tire 0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:27.440 me out. You just read the sign sometimes people. So 0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:30.720 we have some email that we've been holding off on, 0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:32.480 but we could continue to hold off on it. We 0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:35.600 because we we have to interview Anthony Kumia. We have 0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:37.520 that coming up. We do. I have some bad resumes 0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:38.960 and then he'll say this for next time. I do 0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:41.200 have a bunch of tweets that I wanted to get 0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:43.440 to and I think I have a quick a quick 0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:47.040 rand told on a second. Oh, bathroom towel soap guy. 0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:50.520 We talked about this guy for a minute. Sometimes you 0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:53.400 go to the bathroom and you're in a swanky place, right, 0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.560 and they have the guy in there, the bathroom soap guy. 0:31:57.200 --> 0:31:59.440 He's the Franquent Skuy. He's got he's the guy who 0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:01.720 gives you a score. Hes just he's holding he's holding 0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:06.400 the soft soap. But he was. Now do you remember 0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:10.240 before soft soap when it was just bar soap? No? 0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.360 Did they What did they do back then? They just 0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:15.960 hand your bar soap? I don't know they unwrap a 0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:18.000 little like I feel like there was always a time 0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.960 where there was flower shaped soap, liquid soap. There was 0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:23.960 always liquid soap. Really, you think your father was using 0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:25.800 liquid soap in the shower when he was fifteen. Maybe 0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:28.200 they didn't have bathroomintendance then then maybe those people all 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:30.640 they have you seen these bathroomintendants they still from when 0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:32.440 you fallow to stand hold on a second. You mean 0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:35.440 to tell me that when people would go to bathrooms 0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:38.320 and restaurants and bars, they had bar soap only in 0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:41.400 these places that's unsanitary. To the Chinese restaurant used to 0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:43.640 go to until I was had kids had a bar 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:48.240 so they all share. That's disgusting. I didn't use it. 0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:52.600 So yeah, so good. So missed sometimes and sometimes you're 0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:55.600 you're feeling like fancy you go to place and they go, sir, 0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:57.600 would you like a napkin and a little towel or 0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:00.200 they give you a little hot towel, towers they throwing 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:03.080 a hamper. Those guys I'm good with. But when they 0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:04.720 go into the papper towel to spencer and hand your 0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:07.000 pepper towel and to give a little squirt, I could 0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:09.760 have done it myself. And you try. So when we 0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:12.800 went off with the corner O'Brien thing, they had a 0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:16.920 guy in the bathroom. Right, little squirre the guy, tell 0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:21.040 squirt guy, and so the right there were four sinks 0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:23.640 at sinc number one to the right, closest to the door, 0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:27.600 he had little jar candies hit the tip jaws. Right, 0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:30.640 he had his little that's a whole other topic bathroom 0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.800 candy about it. But I don't know if I want 0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:40.160 they got. So I go to the sink on the left. 0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:44.240 Two reasons. One, I don't need his service. I'm good 0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:49.280 right now. Two, I'm in a hurry. Three I already 0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:52.080 know I have not a dollar in my pocket. I 0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:54.719 have no money. So to save the guy the trouble 0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:59.080 from working for free, because that's rude, I go, no, 0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:01.600 I'm good. I'm going to sick number four. I'm going 0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:07.160 to sink one. He's a sink four right, I read left, right, 0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:09.160 sink one's on the left. I am a Jew, but 0:34:09.200 --> 0:34:14.480 I don't this is in the Hebrew sink. So I 0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:16.439 go to the first one and I'm like, I'm gonna 0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:19.200 get my own soap. He comes flying in like a condor. 0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:26.000 Who is here, sir, that's what he's there. He's hustling 0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:28.879 every day. I'm hustling, damn hustling. So I go, okay, 0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.719 all right, and I washed my hands. Now I'm taking 0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:33.680 a really long time to wash my hands and hopes 0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:37.920 he'll go to somebody else. Nope, it hopes someone towel, right, 0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:40.480 And this way you can and I can grab I 0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:43.560 can grab a towel from the towel to Spencer next 0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:46.120 to me, because he's got the one next dam And 0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:49.440 I saw I'm waiting for the guy in the he's 0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:51.399 in there. He's not coming out. The guys in the stall. 0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.200 I hear him flush. So I'm like washing my hands, 0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:58.440 washing my hands, and he's looking at me like, you 0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.200 motherfucker just finished washing your hands. I can towel your ass, 0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.200 and I don't want him. A towel makes out every money. Yeah, 0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:07.040 of all reasons to not tip, it's always that one. 0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:09.400 For me, it's I don't have I don't have anything 0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:11.640 in my way and I feel like that and I 0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:14.480 feel like that's a fifty cent kind of tip. I 0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:16.719 feel like for a squirt and handing me a towel, 0:35:16.880 --> 0:35:20.200 that's a dollar I give the guy. Okay, it's a dollar. 0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:21.520 How much do you give the guy for bringing you 0:35:21.520 --> 0:35:26.560 a car round at a valet? Three dollars? Three? Whoa, whoa? 0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:29.280 Three dollars? Now I know I don't have a bigger apartment. 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:32.280 You read how much do you give to the valet? 0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.640 Got two dollars? Like there's a big difference. There is 0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:39.040 a difference because two dollars is twice what the regular 0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:41.960 average person gives. They give a dollar. I supposed to 0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:45.480 give a dollar for valet. And you drive a fancy 0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:47.200 cost you give extra money cause you have a fancy car. 0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:49.799 I think three dollars. And let me tell you something. 0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:51.920 If I'm at a fancy event like a wedding, or 0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:54.560 if they know that I'm scary Jones, I'm giving them five. Okay. 0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:56.560 What if you go to a wedding and you're causing 0:35:56.640 --> 0:35:58.640 like the third spot, and he walks over agains, you 0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:01.000 call him boom right there, drives ten feet, You get 0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:04.360 him five bucks. It's not about the distance he put in. 0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:06.800 It's about it's it's just about etiquette. It's if I 0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:11.040 see my car that close, I go, he's gotta What 0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:12.920 if he's gotta run around the block and it takes 0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:15.960 him fifteen minutes to retrieve your car. He's technically gone 0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:19.160 a long distance, but really gotten has given you worse service? 0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:20.880 Or did he drive my car on the block four 0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:24.279 or five times, speeding it with the hemim all over 0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:26.400 the place. So you're charging him for gas now? And 0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:32.680 I think that the longer distance he goes, the longer 0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:36.280 and inconvenience it is. And let's just say an average 0:36:36.480 --> 0:36:38.879 cars up front, I'm paid a top dollar. You're you're 0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:42.640 an idiot.

That's five bucks. That's he 0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:55.120 did nothing. What if he's not even the guy who parkeded? 0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:57.160 Oh come on, and don't tell me they pull the 0:36:57.200 --> 0:37:00.319 tips because there's no proof of that.

Charles Feltman invented the hot dog in 0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:29.239 eighteen sixty seven, and Nathan worked for him as a 0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:32.120 bun slicer and then after a few years said I'm 0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:33.520 out of here, and then you know the rest of 0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:37.320 the Nathan story. But why not go to the original 0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:39.560 in Coney Island. They're still They were there on Surf 0:41:39.600 --> 0:41:41.600 Avenue right there.

Here we go, hold on, 0:42:09.200 --> 0:42:12.000 let me go with my folder here. Okay, let's talk 0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:17.560 about Mace at the underscore Mason jar. So he writes 0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:23.479 good self correction on the Latissimus Dorsey muscle, which I replied, huh, 0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:25.920 and he wrote back, sorry, I guess I'm too far 0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:28.800 back still episode fifty seven of the Brooklyn Boys. You 0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:31.520 said lats were your laterals and then corrected yourself right 0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:35.320 after looking it up. So I wrote back, dude, we 0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:38.080 have rules here on the Brooklyn Boys podcast that was 0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:42.080 five weeks ago, almost six weeks ago. I don't remember. 0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:44.320 You know. What happens? We do a scar and I 0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:46.720 do the podcast right, we stopped rolling on the podcast, 0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:49.399 we go We're from Brooklyn, the jingle plays whatever. Then 0:42:49.440 --> 0:42:51.800 we go into the computer and we upload it, and 0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:53.600 then Scary and I have to write a description, and 0:42:53.719 --> 0:42:55.960 Scary says, what should we call this episode? And we 0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:58.240 go what do we talk about? I don't remember, because 0:42:58.280 --> 0:42:59.759 we we forget about what we talked about in the 0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:02.560 last ten seconds. It's already in the past, right, so 0:43:02.680 --> 0:43:05.840 you expect us to remember something weeks weeks I'm like, 0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:08.560 what lateral? And and so then I tweet him I going, dude, 0:43:08.760 --> 0:43:10.799 I don't remember what we just talked about five minutes ago, 0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:14.000 sad He writes back, you know what, I vaguely remember 0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:16.560 you guys mentioning that on the podcast. Don't bring up 0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:19.120 stuff from five six weeks ago without mentioning what it is. 0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:21.080 If you had said, hey, I'm on fifty seven blah 0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:23.360 blah blah, even that I'm I don't remember doing that, 0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:27.960 all right, So there you go, Trace Minch at Trace 0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:32.040 Underscore Minch. I was walking through walmut tonight, back by 0:43:32.080 --> 0:43:34.680 the milk and as I'm walking by, I overheard someone 0:43:34.760 --> 0:43:37.640 say you want the vanilla milk, right, and I instantly 0:43:37.680 --> 0:43:40.960 flashed back to David Brodie David Brodie's rant on vanilla 0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:43.759 milk hashtag it's just milk. I got a good laugh. 0:43:44.160 --> 0:43:46.880 That's right, it's just milk. It's just milk. It's not 0:43:47.040 --> 0:43:50.480 vanilla milk. There's no vanilla in it. Now, don't tweet 0:43:50.520 --> 0:43:52.600 me and say I poured vanilla milk. Yes, if they 0:43:52.640 --> 0:43:55.440 put vanilla in, it's vanilla milk. But regular milk is milk, right, 0:43:55.520 --> 0:43:57.400 It's not white milk. Oh, it's not white milk, by 0:43:57.400 --> 0:43:59.839 the way, Trace The correction is it's not white milk. 0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:02.680 If they have vanilla milk at Walmart, this person was right, 0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:05.680 in which case they're not as douchy. Although the buying 0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:08.560 vanilla milk, I'm just saying it's it's white milk, that's 0:44:08.600 --> 0:44:15.960 the problem.

No, no, 0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:30.800 it's not a vein number. And by the way, I 0:45:30.920 --> 0:45:33.560 was at bed Bath and Beyond yesterday. The guy helping 0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:38.080 me was really nice. Right what he says, Oh, uh, 0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:42.680 what do you have your your pin number?

You mean my pin code? 0:45:45.239 --> 0:45:46.520 And he looked at me like I have three heads. 0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:49.799 But I'm not let him get aware at that pin number. Uh, 0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:54.600 let's say. Oh. Kevin Wright at Hokey Fan, he writes, 0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:58.719 don't fall for a state dinner event.

And thank you Kevin, right, 0:46:02.160 --> 0:46:06.040 loving you, And let's see oh, let's talk about the 0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.960 person who tweeted us thinking that the c m A 0:46:09.160 --> 0:46:12.120 s uh and saying the c m A Awards was wrong. 0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:14.880 It's actually saying the c m A Awards is right 0:46:14.960 --> 0:46:18.560 because it's the Country Music Association Awards. Now that's on them. 0:46:19.000 --> 0:46:21.360 They they did that deliberately. They could have called it 0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:25.319 the Country Music Club, the Country Music Group, the Association 0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:29.000 and you call but but saying the CIMA Awards is correct. 0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:30.719 And I'm pretty sure they used this. I'm pretty sure 0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:32.719 they used to be the CMAS. I think back in 0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:35.320 the day. They're just the Country Music Awards Awards of 0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:39.800 the Awards Awards. Caitlin Caitlin Gutierrez at O h K 0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:44.239 Y two at David Brodie, This takes the cake. My 0:46:44.400 --> 0:46:48.680 local burger king has two brooms taped together with red 0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:51.680 reflective duct tape and used it to stop me from 0:46:51.719 --> 0:46:53.879 getting to the drive through window until they were ready 0:46:53.920 --> 0:46:57.480 to summon me. Hashtag fellow slice and she put a 0:46:57.520 --> 0:47:01.359 picture up. There's flags on pole where they stick them 0:47:01.360 --> 0:47:03.360 out and stop you until they're ready for you to 0:47:03.400 --> 0:47:05.720 pull up. So they don't stuck their clock being time 0:47:06.040 --> 0:47:07.840 until their food is ready so they can make it 0:47:07.920 --> 0:47:11.279 look like you didn't wait that long. That's bullshit. That 0:47:11.440 --> 0:47:14.879 is some bullshit. Burger king wherever this is located, that's 0:47:14.880 --> 0:47:18.720 some bullshit. Uh. Sarah wrote to us, and she wanted 0:47:18.760 --> 0:47:20.640 to tell us that she went to the dentist this 0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:23.600 morning and she listened to our podcast while getting her 0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:26.759 filling to calm her nerves. Uh. The dentist asked what 0:47:26.840 --> 0:47:29.240 I was listening to, and she said the Brooklyn Boys, 0:47:29.719 --> 0:47:32.440 and then he then did a pretty good impression of 0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:36.759 someone from Brooklyn. That's from Sarah. H Yeah, I don't 0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:40.160 know if you could really from Brooklyn. That's not how 0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:43.520 we sound, right. Well, I'd like to hear his rendition 0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:45.600 or I'm gonna save unused jokes because we had this 0:47:45.680 --> 0:47:48.680 interview coming up and I just complain about about one thing. 0:47:51.040 --> 0:47:55.319 Is it time? All right? So I had to send 0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:59.920 out an email. Hold on wait, you pointed to your 0:48:00.360 --> 0:48:03.600 get it ready, Get it ready, It's ready, It's so ready. 0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:09.719 I hit the button. People hit the music too soon? 0:48:09.800 --> 0:48:13.600 Would you like? I sent that an email? Right, I 0:48:13.680 --> 0:48:16.480 had to alert a couple of people in one of 0:48:16.560 --> 0:48:20.440 our divisions, okay of something major. Oh my god, this 0:48:20.520 --> 0:48:24.959 pisses me off, And I sent it to a guy 0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:29.640 and a woman, right, And I had already sent other 0:48:29.719 --> 0:48:32.880 emails to other people to make sure everyone was in 0:48:32.920 --> 0:48:35.400 the loop. And I said, to the guy and the woman, 0:48:36.040 --> 0:48:40.360 here's this message that's very important. If there's anyone I 0:48:40.520 --> 0:48:45.320 forgot in your department, right that should be on this email, 0:48:45.920 --> 0:48:48.719 email me back. Let me know who it is. I'll 0:48:48.760 --> 0:48:52.840 send them an email. That's a fair request. You forgot Jamie, 0:48:53.080 --> 0:48:56.400 you forgot Julie, you forgot Mark, Steve Bob, Let me know. 0:48:56.719 --> 0:49:02.120 I'll email him the Canista. So I send that email out, 0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:07.080 and I had a completely different email and format of 0:49:07.160 --> 0:49:10.080 an email I wanted to send the boss. Okay, I 0:49:10.200 --> 0:49:12.480 didn't want to use that verbon, you were eventually going 0:49:12.600 --> 0:49:15.359 to send the boss an email. What the email needed 0:49:15.400 --> 0:49:19.160 to be written differently than the casual, matter of fact, 0:49:19.239 --> 0:49:22.080 abrupt email I sent to them because I just needed 0:49:22.080 --> 0:49:26.200 to get them a note right away. Okay. It wasn't 0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:28.359 exactly what I wanted the boss to know in those terms. 0:49:28.800 --> 0:49:31.560 It doesn't matter. I said, if I left anybody off, 0:49:31.600 --> 0:49:33.799 you think I should let know email me their names. 0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:38.400 I get a reply all that says, okay, no problem, Oh, 0:49:39.000 --> 0:49:41.279 we'll take care of it. And by the way, I 0:49:41.440 --> 0:49:44.319 plus one the boss, so added the boss to the kind. 0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:45.960 They didn't like it, and they got to see the 0:49:46.120 --> 0:49:51.040 entire chain. Right. Let me tell you something, if I 0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:54.200 want to add the boss to an email, I'll add 0:49:54.239 --> 0:49:57.279 the boss to an email. I'm perfectly capable of knowing 0:49:57.320 --> 0:50:00.040 who my boss is. I could add the boss of 0:50:00.160 --> 0:50:03.080 my want. I guess what, I know the bosses email address. 0:50:03.600 --> 0:50:06.880 I very easily could say add boss, but I didn't. 0:50:07.160 --> 0:50:09.839 I also could have said, hey, you know what, why 0:50:09.880 --> 0:50:12.719 don't you forward this to anybody? I forgot No, I 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:14.880 didn't say that. I said, let me know who I 0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:17.840 should email if I left anybody off the list that 0:50:17.960 --> 0:50:20.759 you think I should email, I didn't say, take it 0:50:20.880 --> 0:50:24.160 upon yourself to add the boss. So you'll look like 0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:26.759 a little brown nose and bitch that you put the 0:50:26.840 --> 0:50:29.279 boss on the email, and I look like a dick 0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:32.319 for not including the boss. Let you look like shit. 0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:35.520 Oh he sends up this important emails, looks stupid and 0:50:35.640 --> 0:50:38.200 like because the boss is gonna think, Hong, how dumb 0:50:38.280 --> 0:50:41.400 is brownie? And then he asked who to add, as 0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:43.960 if he didn't know to add me the boss. So 0:50:44.080 --> 0:50:47.080 now the boss is thinking Oh, what's Brony trying to hide? Right, 0:50:47.239 --> 0:50:48.919 bro He's not trying to hide any off to something. 0:50:48.960 --> 0:50:50.920 Are you being shifty? Yeah? Why did Brooke dido? You 0:50:50.920 --> 0:50:53.320 don't want me to know this? You know what? Don't 0:50:53.480 --> 0:50:56.399 copy the boss to emails, your fucking brown nose and fool. 0:50:56.600 --> 0:50:58.400 That was a c y a move, you know, c 0:50:58.640 --> 0:51:04.240 y a cover your ask because because excuse me, Espresso 0:51:04.360 --> 0:51:09.600 knows there you go talking my language. Espresso knows can 0:51:09.640 --> 0:51:13.320 I say this? Did? The person that did this is 0:51:13.440 --> 0:51:17.280 probably afraid of their own job that they they shiver 0:51:17.400 --> 0:51:20.200 in their boots, they're covering their ass, they're trying to 0:51:20.280 --> 0:51:23.680 figure out they think helpful. No, no, but they also 0:51:23.800 --> 0:51:26.800 are just like, whoa, we gotta include the boss in 0:51:26.880 --> 0:51:31.160 on this, because it's it's it's a company where everybody micromanages. 0:51:32.160 --> 0:51:34.520 It's wrong, it's it's it's more than wrong, Brody. And 0:51:34.560 --> 0:51:36.399 now I felt like writing back, don't be a dick 0:51:36.440 --> 0:51:38.439 and copy of the boss. But then they'll just right back, 0:51:38.640 --> 0:51:44.040 Oh look I'm copying. Yeah, that's fucked up, fucked up. 0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:48.920 Uh getta sucked up.

We're like, no, 0:52:12.040 --> 0:52:13.759 let's edit it to this one, making a super long 0:52:14.239 --> 0:52:15.600 so you're not the like, wait for the app to 0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:19.200 go to the next one. So this is someone that 0:52:19.880 --> 0:52:26.080 I think is a legendary radio performer. Look, these guys 0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:29.719 were occasionally called shock shocks, but I think that minimizes 0:52:29.800 --> 0:52:33.320 what they did. They reinvented a lot of the genre 0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:37.959 of shock radio. They were pioneers. Um, they never cared 0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:40.480 about getting in trouble if it was funny, which I 0:52:40.520 --> 0:52:44.120 think is admirable. Um. By the and by the time 0:52:44.160 --> 0:52:46.520 you hear this, by the way, the book will be out. 0:52:46.840 --> 0:52:50.640 I believe Tuesday, November. You know, well, today's Monday. But 0:52:50.920 --> 0:52:53.160 it's all good. It's he's doing book signings already. You 0:52:53.200 --> 0:52:55.280 can pick up the book, the it's all the information 0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:57.719 about the book, everything's in the in the interview, Uh, 0:52:57.840 --> 0:52:59.400 we we have a we have a discount code for 0:52:59.440 --> 0:53:02.879 you guys, of course for his streaming service. Uh. You'll 0:53:02.920 --> 0:53:05.040 hear what Anthony's up to now. But if you're thinking, 0:53:05.080 --> 0:53:06.960 like I never liked to open to Anthony, or I 0:53:07.000 --> 0:53:09.560 don't know that show, I wasn't in my town, listen 0:53:10.040 --> 0:53:13.360 to the story, the story story of what it's like, 0:53:13.680 --> 0:53:16.399 how he got started. Uh, he was basically a day 0:53:16.480 --> 0:53:19.439 laborer and he worked his way into radio by juko, 0:53:19.480 --> 0:53:23.279 by crook, and he's a brilliant talent, whether he's your 0:53:23.320 --> 0:53:25.400 cup of tea or not. And the stories and the 0:53:25.480 --> 0:53:28.160 way things happened on the show, and the story about 0:53:28.200 --> 0:53:31.200 the girl who caught him in bed. But there's so 0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:34.239 much good stuff and the book. The book is fantastic. 0:53:34.560 --> 0:53:36.640 So you'll hear information about the book, but enjoying this. 0:53:36.840 --> 0:53:40.239 He lived, he is living or lived rock star. Yeah 0:53:41.560 --> 0:53:44.640 to him in the interview, he was lived like a 0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:47.760 rock star life on the radio. Unlike what you, Scary 0:53:47.800 --> 0:53:49.959 and I have going for us. We have a good life. 0:53:50.200 --> 0:53:52.640 It's fun. But the stuff that they did is just 0:53:52.840 --> 0:53:55.480 over the top. Craziness. Here you go. I'm kind of 0:53:55.520 --> 0:53:57.600 fan boying right now, Brodie. Okay, I have to say 0:53:57.719 --> 0:53:59.960 I've interviewed rock stars that I grew up like Kiss 0:54:00.120 --> 0:54:05.919 and Deaf Leopard, and we've interviewed comedians. I never get nervous. Really, yeah, 0:54:06.360 --> 0:54:09.359 I'm a little nervous today. I'm looking at me. He's 0:54:09.360 --> 0:54:11.560 just sitting there like comfortable, Like no big deal. Uh. 0:54:11.640 --> 0:54:14.520 Anthony Coumia from the Opening Anthony Show. And he has 0:54:14.520 --> 0:54:17.080 his own show now, which we'll talk about. We listen 0:54:17.160 --> 0:54:20.520 to him. Listen to your show for over a decade 0:54:20.800 --> 0:54:25.879 afternoons mornings. I paid for satellite radio specifically to get 0:54:25.920 --> 0:54:30.000 your show during after one of your many firings, and 0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:33.320 I've spent a lot of money on you. And so 0:54:33.920 --> 0:54:36.520 as fans of your show, we would do our morning 0:54:36.560 --> 0:54:39.000 show and then ride home and listen to you and 0:54:39.200 --> 0:54:41.600 and on the Open Anthony Show you were Anthony by 0:54:41.600 --> 0:54:45.320 the way, for those and we would come in the 0:54:45.360 --> 0:54:47.000 next day going did you it was you had the 0:54:47.000 --> 0:54:49.160 show that people go did you hear what they did yesterday? 0:54:49.520 --> 0:54:53.480 That is really nice to hear. Thank you, gentlemen. We're 0:54:53.520 --> 0:54:59.480 not We're not gentlemen. Obviously, this this interview is definitely 0:54:59.520 --> 0:55:01.920 for us, but it's also for people who want to 0:55:02.000 --> 0:55:04.080 hear about a different kind of radio than what you 0:55:04.080 --> 0:55:06.160 do on the Elvi Strand Morning Show, but also the 0:55:06.239 --> 0:55:09.560 pitfalls and pratfalls of having a job in this industry 0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:12.040 and how a non radio person can get into radio 0:55:12.120 --> 0:55:15.120 because you have your humble beginnings that you didn't start 0:55:15.160 --> 0:55:16.880 in radio. You didn't go to school for now. I 0:55:16.920 --> 0:55:18.520 didn't go to school for that. Didn't go to school 0:55:18.560 --> 0:55:21.840 for pretty much anything. Yeah, I I didn't graduate high school. 0:55:22.239 --> 0:55:25.200 I was stuck in the trades, you know, the the 0:55:25.360 --> 0:55:28.600 dumping ground for anybody that screws up their their education. 0:55:29.080 --> 0:55:32.040 And then, uh, you know, through Opie who was out 0:55:32.080 --> 0:55:35.320 on Long Island, uh doing radio, I got into the 0:55:35.719 --> 0:55:38.840 business and I just had complete misconceptions and what it 0:55:38.920 --> 0:55:43.200 was all about. I didn't know Like I thought if 0:55:43.239 --> 0:55:45.160 you were on the radio, you had to be rich. 0:55:45.880 --> 0:55:50.440 That was like, it's not. I learned that really quickly. 0:55:50.920 --> 0:55:53.640 Twenty three years. I'm still wearing the same for five 0:55:53.719 --> 0:55:56.680 years ago. That was my first lesson, because you did 0:55:56.719 --> 0:55:59.640 you did a conditioning right, yeah, air conditioning and heating 0:55:59.680 --> 0:56:03.520 and still Lasian duct work and think rooftops and addicts 0:56:03.560 --> 0:56:07.040 and the heat and cold. Did you do air conditioning 0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:09.520 work for the radio station? No? But they would ask me, 0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:12.520 could you you know, it's a little cold in here, 0:56:12.600 --> 0:56:14.040 or can you fix that? And I'd be like, you 0:56:14.200 --> 0:56:18.160 call the guy. You had access into the studios, but 0:56:18.280 --> 0:56:20.960 you were just the guy. I was that guy that 0:56:21.080 --> 0:56:23.600 had to, you know, fix the stuff right now. I 0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:28.120 started writing comedy and one of the first things I 0:56:28.320 --> 0:56:32.600 sold to anyone, um was uh an o J joke 0:56:32.680 --> 0:56:34.880 to Bill Maher, Oh wow. And then I ended up 0:56:34.920 --> 0:56:37.640 in radio sending song parodies to the Elvis rand Show 0:56:37.680 --> 0:56:40.160 on a cassette and they liked it. Yeah, you have 0:56:40.239 --> 0:56:43.000 a similar story. How did you get Opie's attention? Yeah, 0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:46.359 that's uh. It was during that whole O J. Simpson thing. 0:56:46.520 --> 0:56:49.080 Might hurt about that J? Yeah, thank you o J. 0:56:49.280 --> 0:56:52.320 O J. Gave me a career. It's great, And it was. 0:56:52.880 --> 0:56:55.799 It was a song parody about o J. And Uh, 0:56:56.040 --> 0:56:59.200 my brother took it to Opie's show out on Long 0:56:59.280 --> 0:57:02.120 Island and UH just banged on the back door and 0:57:02.200 --> 0:57:04.319 an in turn came to the door and said, all right, 0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:06.000 I'll take it to Opie And my brother was pretty 0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:08.560 you know, hey, where's Opie, I'll give it to him. 0:57:08.640 --> 0:57:11.120 I want to talk to him, and uh, really pushy, 0:57:11.640 --> 0:57:13.680 and he gave him the tape. No, not me, I 0:57:14.360 --> 0:57:16.920 I'm not. My brother was the guy that kind of 0:57:17.160 --> 0:57:20.440 got the whole thing rolling, and uh, he gave him 0:57:20.440 --> 0:57:22.520 the tape. Opie played at the people loved it, and 0:57:22.840 --> 0:57:25.200 Opie invited us to come on the show and perform 0:57:25.280 --> 0:57:27.440 it live, which we did. And I just thought it 0:57:27.560 --> 0:57:30.800 was time to start spinning plates and juggling and singing 0:57:30.880 --> 0:57:34.280 and just do everything I could to make an impression 0:57:34.360 --> 0:57:36.840 to get back on that show. And I did, and 0:57:37.000 --> 0:57:39.160 he he had me back on and it was taping 0:57:39.240 --> 0:57:42.000 every appearance that I made and sent it out to 0:57:42.040 --> 0:57:44.200 other stations and we got the gig at a f 0:57:44.320 --> 0:57:46.840 in Boston, and that was the end of my tin 0:57:46.960 --> 0:57:49.880 knocking days. As they say, I threw my toolbox out 0:57:49.920 --> 0:57:53.120 the window on the driving up. So you left, you 0:57:53.200 --> 0:57:56.000 left Long Island with Opie and then you both went 0:57:56.080 --> 0:57:59.120 to Boston for this gig. Yeah, yeah, that's great. I 0:57:59.160 --> 0:58:02.800 feel like we should just say it ended in the firing, 0:58:04.600 --> 0:58:06.760 because you guys have become known for your had your 0:58:06.800 --> 0:58:09.520 public stunts over the years. Yeah. Yeah, that was our 0:58:09.600 --> 0:58:12.480 first firing. We uh so this was a a f Yeah, 0:58:13.160 --> 0:58:15.720 April fools. We said that the mayor was dead. Mayor 0:58:15.760 --> 0:58:19.840 Menino was dead because and it was because some of 0:58:19.920 --> 0:58:22.960 these you know how it is April Fools with DJs 0:58:23.080 --> 0:58:25.520 is so hackey. And and this is before social media, 0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:28.400 where you could have corrected yourself. By the way, you're 0:58:28.440 --> 0:58:31.400 the best on social media, as everyone knows, correcting yourself. 0:58:31.760 --> 0:58:34.400 But you didn't. You didn't have an outlet at the time. 0:58:34.480 --> 0:58:37.880 This is ninety nineties. Yeah around there, you ky of time. 0:58:37.960 --> 0:58:40.280 So you go on the air. You hired a newscaster, 0:58:40.560 --> 0:58:42.200 right because is by the way, I want to say, 0:58:42.240 --> 0:58:43.880 while you're here, because I have some of thiss information. 0:58:44.160 --> 0:58:46.200 You're here in addition to you love us. Of course, 0:58:46.240 --> 0:58:50.360 of course you're promoting permanently suspended, uh, which is your 0:58:50.480 --> 0:58:53.080 rise and fall and rise again of radio's most notorious 0:58:53.080 --> 0:58:57.840 shock chock with the forward by Jimmy Norton. He has 0:58:57.880 --> 0:58:59.600 a book out and by the way, and it's it 0:58:59.600 --> 0:59:02.800 looks like a nice easy read. It is an easy 0:59:03.360 --> 0:59:07.400 I didn't want to no, I didn't want to go 0:59:07.600 --> 0:59:10.479 crazy with a big thing. You see a big, thick book. 0:59:10.520 --> 0:59:15.360 It's just intimidating. This is fun. So this, this story 0:59:15.440 --> 0:59:16.720 is in the book which I by the way, I 0:59:16.800 --> 0:59:20.760 read that that chapter yesterday. I got some details I 0:59:20.840 --> 0:59:23.040 wasn't aware of, even though I've heard the story many times. Yeah, 0:59:23.200 --> 0:59:25.720 so you, you and Opie decide, let's do a practical joke, 0:59:25.760 --> 0:59:29.800 say the Mayor's dead. Yeah, And uh, I knew it 0:59:29.880 --> 0:59:32.120 was going to be trouble. And I was the guy, 0:59:32.280 --> 0:59:34.320 like I had just started doing this. We were doing 0:59:34.360 --> 0:59:37.240 it for about three years, I guess in Boston, and uh, 0:59:37.600 --> 0:59:40.360 I was petrified of being back in that attic. I 0:59:40.480 --> 0:59:43.320 did not want to go back, and we did it. 0:59:43.840 --> 0:59:46.800 The news picked up on it Menino's family, and we 0:59:46.920 --> 0:59:50.400 subsequently got fired. Uh And I thought that was it. 0:59:50.640 --> 0:59:52.400 I was like, wow, that was fun. That was a 0:59:52.440 --> 0:59:55.120 fun three years. I'll be back in an attic cutting 0:59:55.200 --> 0:59:57.120 a duct work and going, hey, do you ever hear 0:59:57.320 --> 1:00:01.720 you haven't hear? That was of that. Listen to this cassette. Yeah, yeah, 1:00:01.800 --> 1:00:04.320 check it out. It was great. Uh So I thought 1:00:04.360 --> 1:00:07.520 we were screwed. But it was the first of many 1:00:07.640 --> 1:00:14.160 firings and surprising, not the worst and not right. There's 1:00:14.200 --> 1:00:17.439 a there's a story in the book that I don't 1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:20.880 know how this happens. You were off air in Buffalo 1:00:22.160 --> 1:00:26.360 doing uh public appearance and a for O and all, 1:00:26.520 --> 1:00:29.919 you decided to put girls in bikinis who were strippers. Yeah, 1:00:30.160 --> 1:00:32.880 although based on how this story ends, they weren't porn stars. 1:00:32.880 --> 1:00:36.040 They were just strippers. They were just strippers. We should 1:00:36.080 --> 1:00:40.080 have known though it was gonna You decided to have 1:00:40.120 --> 1:00:43.080 them play volleyball, and then, of course, as guys do 1:00:43.240 --> 1:00:45.960 with a little power and microphones, we know, you got 1:00:46.040 --> 1:00:48.480 them to take their tops off. Yeah, and then tell 1:00:48.560 --> 1:00:51.320 us how it spiled out of control after that. Yeah. 1:00:51.440 --> 1:00:53.680 It was the beach of public beach. It was a 1:00:53.720 --> 1:00:56.840 public beach. It wasn't closed. We didn't have it closed 1:00:56.880 --> 1:00:59.920 for our event. We were at a bar that was 1:01:00.200 --> 1:01:03.439 on the beach. And Uh, it was great. Everybody's drinking, 1:01:03.480 --> 1:01:06.760 having a good time, big crowd there Buffalo. They're insane 1:01:06.840 --> 1:01:09.240 up there, So it was a great time. And we 1:01:09.360 --> 1:01:12.640 just thought these strippers would play volleyball in their bikinis. Uh. 1:01:13.600 --> 1:01:16.320 But after a while and they've been drinking, they started 1:01:16.360 --> 1:01:20.760 getting together and uh touching each other and making out, 1:01:20.880 --> 1:01:27.080 and slowly there their bikinis just started falling off. Involved. Yes, 1:01:27.200 --> 1:01:30.479 alcohol was involved. Now you have to buy the book 1:01:30.520 --> 1:01:32.560 because I want to get away too much. But then 1:01:32.600 --> 1:01:38.080 it got worse. Yeah, there there was food products involved. Yeah, yeah, somebody. 1:01:38.200 --> 1:01:41.520 I don't know where it came from, but out of nowhere, Uh, 1:01:41.800 --> 1:01:47.240 someone showed up with zucchini's and cucumbers and egg plants 1:01:48.040 --> 1:01:53.560 cat right because of the nutritional value, of course. And 1:01:53.640 --> 1:01:57.800 then and then at some point those products disappeared. Yeah, yeah, 1:01:58.200 --> 1:02:00.920 it's no longer see that like a magic trick, just 1:02:01.160 --> 1:02:03.400 like a magic trick. And so there were families on 1:02:03.480 --> 1:02:05.880 the beach. What I don't get, and it's in the book, 1:02:06.400 --> 1:02:09.560 is that somehow the FCC got involved and you weren't 1:02:09.560 --> 1:02:11.720 on the air. How does that happen? I don't know. 1:02:12.120 --> 1:02:14.200 I think it is the only case of the FCC 1:02:14.320 --> 1:02:17.200 having a field a complaint, uh, from something that was 1:02:17.320 --> 1:02:19.760 never on the public airwaves. It was a show that 1:02:19.880 --> 1:02:21.880 we were just doing live. We had a p A. 1:02:22.560 --> 1:02:24.760 But they don't regulate what goes out over a public 1:02:24.800 --> 1:02:29.000 address system over a beach is controversial, Yeah, controversial thing 1:02:29.080 --> 1:02:32.160 for them to get involved in. Yeah, setting their boundaries almost. 1:02:32.320 --> 1:02:36.560 I guess somebody thought that that complained to But it's 1:02:36.600 --> 1:02:38.000 like when people go to the drive through and they 1:02:38.040 --> 1:02:40.400 don't have chicken fingers, and they ca, yeah, what are 1:02:40.440 --> 1:02:42.800 you gonna do the middle of the afternoon, by the way, right, 1:02:42.880 --> 1:02:47.080 oh yeah, middle of the afternoon, uh in in Buffalo Lakeside. 1:02:47.200 --> 1:02:50.000 So it was Mike and Margor with the kids by 1:02:50.080 --> 1:02:54.000 the lake, just a nice day out of tassels, and 1:02:54.080 --> 1:02:58.600 the celcumber disappeared. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. It was. Yeah, 1:02:58.680 --> 1:03:02.080 I saw it, Like the faces on the moms as 1:03:02.120 --> 1:03:05.200 they're dragging the kids away, it was they were horrified. 1:03:05.360 --> 1:03:09.560 Anthony goes into greater detail in the book. This This book, 1:03:09.640 --> 1:03:11.280 I want to just say is first of all, it's 1:03:11.320 --> 1:03:14.240 a great reading, very easy, thank you, crazy read It's 1:03:14.560 --> 1:03:18.600 it's it's sort of not typical, Like, don't read this 1:03:18.640 --> 1:03:21.320 book and think this is what radio is. Um. This 1:03:21.520 --> 1:03:22.800 is a book that could have been written by a 1:03:22.880 --> 1:03:26.280 rock star. You guys lived a life of rock stars. 1:03:26.720 --> 1:03:29.680 You drank, you had strippers in the studio, you had 1:03:29.720 --> 1:03:33.520 pinball machines, you had strippers on pinball machines. I don't 1:03:33.520 --> 1:03:35.400 want to get too graphic. I don't. I'm sure it's 1:03:35.400 --> 1:03:37.880 in the book, but you guys played cherry darts. Yeah, 1:03:38.000 --> 1:03:42.640 Cherry darts, cherry darts, gallant drum challenge. Should we talk 1:03:42.680 --> 1:03:46.480 about that? Okay, we don't. We don't have any regulation here, 1:03:46.720 --> 1:03:49.960 but which is nice? Which is so the thing that 1:03:50.040 --> 1:03:52.760 gets me And it's just like a rock star women 1:03:53.240 --> 1:03:55.040 and men because there were plenty of men who do 1:03:55.120 --> 1:03:57.960 crazy things on your show. We're willing to do anything 1:03:58.080 --> 1:04:00.640 for you guys because you were on the radio and 1:04:00.720 --> 1:04:02.920 you're you're larger than life for a long period of time. 1:04:03.040 --> 1:04:06.959 It's the strangest phenomenon, but you're absolutely right. We would 1:04:07.120 --> 1:04:09.680 come up with an idea and the first thing I 1:04:09.720 --> 1:04:12.240 would think is, no one's coming in for this. This 1:04:12.440 --> 1:04:16.200 is preposterous. They wouldn't do this, they wouldn't put themselves 1:04:16.280 --> 1:04:20.080 through this, and we'd have too many people. We'd have 1:04:20.160 --> 1:04:22.640 to tell people to leave because it was and the 1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:26.720 gallon drum challenge was a prime example of that. We're like, 1:04:26.920 --> 1:04:29.840 we are never gonna get girls that will come up 1:04:29.840 --> 1:04:33.840 into the studio, stripped down to bron panties, get into 1:04:34.000 --> 1:04:37.840 a fifty five gallon industrial drup like they put chemicals 1:04:37.920 --> 1:04:39.960 in the dumped in the water. Yeah, this is like 1:04:40.120 --> 1:04:42.800 you see this all the all the time on forensic files. 1:04:43.200 --> 1:04:45.800 When they shove a body in it and leave it 1:04:45.840 --> 1:04:48.960 in a crawl space for years. Not just spoil the fun. 1:04:49.080 --> 1:04:50.720 But let me just bring it back to the present 1:04:50.800 --> 1:04:54.640 for a second. How would that show and those shenanigans 1:04:54.800 --> 1:04:57.760 or whatever you did it go over in today's culture 1:04:58.000 --> 1:05:00.640 and today's climate with the way people we just came 1:05:00.680 --> 1:05:03.240 we were talking about these snow flakes that were arguing 1:05:03.320 --> 1:05:06.960 over over food. This phone prank that we played earlier 1:05:07.040 --> 1:05:09.560 this morning. It was like it was harmless fun. We're 1:05:09.600 --> 1:05:13.439 addicted to outrage. Okay, so don't dumped. A great story. 1:05:13.480 --> 1:05:17.680 Man got these girls to go in the drum, Get 1:05:17.760 --> 1:05:19.760 him in the drum. Let's go back there in the drum. 1:05:19.840 --> 1:05:22.720 The tops were put on and feel like they were 1:05:22.920 --> 1:05:27.160 literally trapped in these drums. And there was there's more. Yes, wait, 1:05:27.280 --> 1:05:29.800 there's more. There's a hole in the top where you 1:05:29.960 --> 1:05:33.160 usually jumped the chemicals out of. Okay, wait before you 1:05:33.240 --> 1:05:36.120 go on with what you did. What was the payoff? 1:05:36.280 --> 1:05:38.960 What were they doing this for? I believe it was 1:05:39.120 --> 1:05:43.600 tickets to various shows. Said yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. 1:05:43.680 --> 1:05:45.320 It was tickets. Right by the way we take call 1:05:45.440 --> 1:05:47.520 one hundred on our show. It's a little easier, Yeah, yeah, 1:05:47.600 --> 1:05:49.480 we will you call. I want you to know this 1:05:49.600 --> 1:05:52.320 could have been Elvis could have said you could go 1:05:52.440 --> 1:05:54.560 in the giant drum in the drum. So they go 1:05:54.640 --> 1:05:56.720 in the drum. There's a hole in the top. Yeah. Yeah, 1:05:56.720 --> 1:06:00.880 and we'd have maybe eight nine of these drums set 1:06:00.960 --> 1:06:03.600 up with girls in there. Get those drums for a 1:06:03.680 --> 1:06:06.760 radio bit. Boy, I don't know. We had a great 1:06:06.840 --> 1:06:10.760 staff was able to actually come up with gallon drums 1:06:10.800 --> 1:06:13.240 and get them upstairs and uh, and then we would 1:06:13.360 --> 1:06:17.720 um solicit the audience, our audience of dedicated oh and 1:06:17.800 --> 1:06:22.800 a fans to bring stuff up that was deemed disgusting, 1:06:23.280 --> 1:06:29.520 just the worst things. Fish guts, uh, rotten food, uh, 1:06:30.120 --> 1:06:37.080 liquids that were uh, living and dead things, Snakes, eels, uh, 1:06:38.440 --> 1:06:42.520 hissing cockroaches was one of them. That was just terrible. Uh. 1:06:42.640 --> 1:06:45.560 And all these things would be poured in to these 1:06:45.640 --> 1:06:48.760 girls drums and they would be in their pitch black. 1:06:48.880 --> 1:06:51.480 They can't really see all. They had to protect themselves 1:06:51.520 --> 1:06:57.040 with goggles. We gaveh goggles. Yeah, you know, we should 1:06:57.080 --> 1:07:00.640 have let him go blind. Uh. Actually we had one 1:07:00.680 --> 1:07:04.280 girl a cricket crawled into her ear and we had 1:07:04.360 --> 1:07:06.200 to pop the top off the drum and send her 1:07:06.240 --> 1:07:09.920 to the hot the first cricket wireless. Yea, yeah, the 1:07:09.960 --> 1:07:11.960 cricket right in her. They had to pull it out 1:07:12.000 --> 1:07:15.840 with some four steps and um, well she throw jokes 1:07:15.880 --> 1:07:19.000 were palming. Yeah, yeah, it's like I'm just hearing crickets 1:07:19.440 --> 1:07:23.360 all is this? It was? And and the the screaming 1:07:23.720 --> 1:07:26.440 that would come out of these barrels, I only I 1:07:26.720 --> 1:07:29.880 could only equate with like the basement of a serial killer, 1:07:30.280 --> 1:07:34.200 where where you just hear this echoe girls scream from 1:07:34.280 --> 1:07:36.440 a drumless But how many times when you were doing 1:07:36.520 --> 1:07:40.640 that did you feel bad? Uh? Not until after we 1:07:40.800 --> 1:07:43.880 left the show, because we did a lot of things 1:07:43.960 --> 1:07:47.240 that normal people should feel very badly because I'm reading 1:07:47.280 --> 1:07:48.760 the book and I don't see at the end of 1:07:48.800 --> 1:07:54.000 any story hash and there the walk to the car, 1:07:54.440 --> 1:07:56.320 like the show is over. We're like, all right, that 1:07:56.440 --> 1:07:58.880 was cold, great show, And then walking to the car, 1:07:58.960 --> 1:08:01.840 you're kind of gone. I kind of feel bad. I 1:08:02.000 --> 1:08:04.640 think I think we should wait three months before we 1:08:04.680 --> 1:08:06.520 do it again. But you're going to do it again. 1:08:06.560 --> 1:08:10.160 You didn't do it. We had to top the thing 1:08:10.280 --> 1:08:13.520 we just did, and there and lied the problem. It 1:08:13.800 --> 1:08:16.240 was so difficult to come up with the next thing 1:08:16.640 --> 1:08:20.080 that would top the last thing. But the listeners expected it. 1:08:20.600 --> 1:08:23.160 We were obsessed with it because we knew it brought 1:08:23.320 --> 1:08:27.799 more listeners in and more ratings, and then we'd entertain 1:08:27.920 --> 1:08:31.040 them with with radio. But they always wanted that next 1:08:31.160 --> 1:08:34.080 stunt and it had to be crazier than the last one. 1:08:34.439 --> 1:08:37.960 And management liked it to a point because they're able 1:08:38.000 --> 1:08:41.640 to sell their getting ratings. But it will always be 1:08:41.760 --> 1:08:45.280 the downfall. How about that time at St. Patrick's Cathedral. 1:08:46.200 --> 1:08:48.680 That's that's sort of the end of this. But that 1:08:48.920 --> 1:08:54.679 to me, but that I heard that headlines, I mean, yeah, okay, 1:08:54.840 --> 1:08:57.799 So Anthony will explain and and it's it's more detailed 1:08:57.800 --> 1:08:59.960 than the book, of course, but that's one of the 1:09:00.000 --> 1:09:03.519 those things that as a radio person you're listening going, oh, 1:09:03.920 --> 1:09:05.560 how are they getting out of this? They're going to 1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:08.200 fire them on the air, like you knew, you knew. 1:09:08.360 --> 1:09:10.000 I was cringing for you when I heard him that 1:09:10.960 --> 1:09:13.040 he can talk about that a little bit. Well, yeah, okay, 1:09:13.040 --> 1:09:15.600 So again I just want to point out permanently suspended. 1:09:16.200 --> 1:09:19.639 This is another reason why the book is titled this. Yeah, yeah, 1:09:19.720 --> 1:09:24.640 we were constantly being fired, suspended, permanently suspended, which is 1:09:24.680 --> 1:09:27.160 an expulsion. At the time of this bit that you're 1:09:27.160 --> 1:09:29.760 going to describe, you were doing afternoons at w n 1:09:29.960 --> 1:09:32.360 W one or two seven, which was a legendary rock show, 1:09:32.640 --> 1:09:35.559 rock station that decided to go talk. They flipped over 1:09:35.600 --> 1:09:37.040 and got rid of a lot of the old jocks, 1:09:37.120 --> 1:09:39.280 and and that you guys would number one in the afternoon. 1:09:39.360 --> 1:09:44.200 Just actually aside and I go ken, He looked at me, 1:09:44.600 --> 1:09:47.479 didn't say a word, and walked away. You were coming 1:09:47.479 --> 1:09:49.120 on our show, right, because he's a friend of mine. No, No, 1:09:49.200 --> 1:09:50.840 I didn't. I didn't imagine anything. But I was like, 1:09:51.280 --> 1:09:54.080 oh man, that's and then I'm trying to go through 1:09:54.120 --> 1:09:56.000 my head like what did we say? What did we do? 1:09:56.200 --> 1:09:59.680 And there's a lot of you were sort of like 1:09:59.760 --> 1:10:01.320 the young rebels that came in and we're like, we 1:10:01.439 --> 1:10:03.840 douched out the place in your words, right, And so 1:10:03.920 --> 1:10:05.680 you guys were number one in afternoons. We would come 1:10:05.720 --> 1:10:08.519 home every day and listen to you on on terrestrial radio. 1:10:09.680 --> 1:10:12.599 And you did all these crazy fifty five gallons drum challenge. 1:10:12.600 --> 1:10:14.720 You did the homeless shop, very famous for the for 1:10:14.800 --> 1:10:18.040 the homeless shopping spree is one of those things that's 1:10:18.720 --> 1:10:21.639 you guys should google it because it's so funny. It's 1:10:21.680 --> 1:10:25.720 a brilliant bit, but people will get upset that they'll 1:10:25.720 --> 1:10:27.840 get upset, so just google it and enjoy if you 1:10:27.880 --> 1:10:29.880 want to enjoy. And women would call him we gotta 1:10:29.880 --> 1:10:31.920 talk about with Mount Wednesday because people would know that 1:10:32.000 --> 1:10:36.800 we'll get to that black and yellow stickers. I still 1:10:36.880 --> 1:10:39.680 see them on the back of a dirty truck from 1:10:40.439 --> 1:10:42.400 So here's a little little behind the scenes. We were 1:10:42.439 --> 1:10:44.679 looking for a promotion at one point, and so I said, 1:10:45.000 --> 1:10:47.799 why don't we do mom stickers? We take the wild stickers, 1:10:47.840 --> 1:10:50.120 turn them upside down and do like we love your mom, 1:10:50.240 --> 1:10:54.200 and they're like your mom, like something like, um, I 1:10:54.280 --> 1:10:55.840 forgot what we said m om stands for. But it 1:10:55.960 --> 1:10:58.040 was like, um, whatever we took this we took. I 1:10:58.120 --> 1:10:59.680 was like, we're not doing that now. We killed that. 1:11:00.080 --> 1:11:01.880 But this bit is why I had to now pay 1:11:01.960 --> 1:11:03.960 at that point, like eighteen dollars a month of satellite 1:11:04.040 --> 1:11:07.840 radio because this bit got you fired and you didn't 1:11:07.880 --> 1:11:10.920 come back on any kind of formatted radio for two years. 1:11:11.040 --> 1:11:14.680 Were Yeah, for two years we were. They held us 1:11:14.720 --> 1:11:17.679 to our contract. They didn't want us working for another company, 1:11:18.160 --> 1:11:21.800 so they paid us and we sat out for two 1:11:21.880 --> 1:11:25.040 years making an insane amount of money. They put you 1:11:25.120 --> 1:11:28.000 on a shelf. He got paid to stay home. Yeah, 1:11:28.040 --> 1:11:29.320 we were like, oh, can we get a job and 1:11:29.320 --> 1:11:31.120 they're like, no, well we'll still pay you. You're just 1:11:31.200 --> 1:11:35.040 not doing a show anymore. And this it was thousand two. 1:11:35.240 --> 1:11:38.000 You wanted to be back on the air. Yeah, around 1:11:38.479 --> 1:11:41.720 two thousand Whose idea was this? And and and you 1:11:41.760 --> 1:11:46.720 can describe the bit oh again like the just like 1:11:46.960 --> 1:11:52.120 the Mayor's dead bit, Opie came up with. You told them, 1:11:52.160 --> 1:11:56.280 don't do this, it's against me. But this wasn't the 1:11:56.280 --> 1:11:58.000 first time you had done this bit. No, we had 1:11:58.040 --> 1:12:00.599 done it before. It was it was just and kind 1:12:00.640 --> 1:12:03.519 of radio, you know, a bit of shock jockery. And 1:12:03.600 --> 1:12:05.800 then you got fired for listen. It was worth it 1:12:05.920 --> 1:12:10.200 because it's legendary radio. It's it's history of American radio. 1:12:10.320 --> 1:12:12.680 This is one of the all times everyone. You can 1:12:12.760 --> 1:12:15.519 google it. It's out there, the articles, the papers of 1:12:15.560 --> 1:12:17.519 the day. And I'm gonna delay the story for another minute. 1:12:17.600 --> 1:12:20.760 Had you not had if we didn't have terrestrial radio, 1:12:21.080 --> 1:12:23.120 this is two thou two when you got fired. There's 1:12:23.160 --> 1:12:26.240 no podcasts really to speak of. There's no SoundCloud. This 1:12:26.560 --> 1:12:30.200 YouTube wasn't really it wasn't what YouTube was two six Yeah, 1:12:30.240 --> 1:12:33.720 but it wasn't it was. If it was, it was 1:12:33.840 --> 1:12:37.560 no real way for you to do your show. And 1:12:38.160 --> 1:12:40.040 thank god said like radio came along, it was the 1:12:40.040 --> 1:12:42.599 perfect medium for you. Guys. We were screwed, but you yeah, 1:12:42.640 --> 1:12:45.080 you could have been like never worked in radio again. Yes, 1:12:45.400 --> 1:12:48.280 we were. We were screwed. And I remember when serious 1:12:48.760 --> 1:12:53.120 actually was x MT first came around and our agents 1:12:53.120 --> 1:12:55.519 started telling us about it. Me and Opie, Uh, we 1:12:55.640 --> 1:12:57.320 were hanging out and we're kind of looking at the 1:12:57.400 --> 1:12:59.760 street and the car's gone by, and we're like, all right, 1:13:00.000 --> 1:13:02.519 because they had those big shark fin antennas at the time, 1:13:02.760 --> 1:13:04.160 and we're like, all right, let's kind of look and 1:13:04.240 --> 1:13:06.479 see how many people actually have Mine was a magnet 1:13:06.520 --> 1:13:11.719 that it's just big antenna's uh. And we just noticed 1:13:11.800 --> 1:13:15.240 like barely any cars had these things, and we're like, wow, 1:13:15.400 --> 1:13:18.680 we really screwed screwed up, man. We we really were 1:13:18.720 --> 1:13:22.360 like this is nothing like we were talking to millions 1:13:22.400 --> 1:13:25.120 of people and now you know, if there's twenty thousand 1:13:25.280 --> 1:13:29.599 people even subscribing to all of satellite radio, we only 1:13:29.640 --> 1:13:32.519 get a percentage of that we're talking to nobody, So 1:13:32.760 --> 1:13:36.360 it was it was depressing at first, but you know 1:13:36.479 --> 1:13:38.840 we we uh were right there at the beginning of 1:13:38.880 --> 1:13:41.400 satellite radio and until it built up for ten years, 1:13:41.439 --> 1:13:43.320 we were there, uh, and it built up into quite 1:13:43.360 --> 1:13:45.320 a thing. So you're also at the beginning and we'll 1:13:45.400 --> 1:13:46.560 get to this in a minute. We're also at the 1:13:46.600 --> 1:13:50.720 beginning of pictures and streaming the show as it was 1:13:50.720 --> 1:13:52.600 going on. We'll get to that. So tell us the 1:13:52.640 --> 1:13:55.160 sex with Sam story. How did the bid originally start? 1:13:55.200 --> 1:13:57.040 Because it did well for a couple of years. You 1:13:57.080 --> 1:14:00.479 did it before you didn't get fired. Yeah, what was 1:14:00.520 --> 1:14:02.679 the premise of the bit? Jim Cooke from Sam Adams 1:14:02.760 --> 1:14:05.160 used to come up all the time, the nicest, nerdiest guy. 1:14:05.479 --> 1:14:08.240 Just I don't know how he associated with this bit. Yeah, 1:14:08.280 --> 1:14:10.439 I know, he's like, Hi, I'm Jim Cook. He was 1:14:10.520 --> 1:14:12.840 really like, hey, why did you come here and drink 1:14:12.920 --> 1:14:15.960 some beer? And naked girls will be in the studio 1:14:16.200 --> 1:14:18.800 and he'd have this backpack with beer in it. He 1:14:18.840 --> 1:14:21.640 always had some kind of a gimmick going my kind 1:14:21.680 --> 1:14:25.360 of client and we loved him. He was great, Uh, 1:14:25.520 --> 1:14:28.360 And somehow we tied in his beer company with this 1:14:29.200 --> 1:14:31.560 thing that the stunt that we would do. What it 1:14:31.720 --> 1:14:35.639 was was we had couples, uh, go around to various 1:14:35.720 --> 1:14:39.360 famous locations around New York, landmarks of New York City, 1:14:39.360 --> 1:14:43.840 the Empire State Building, F. A. O. Schwartz, Uh, you know, 1:14:44.160 --> 1:14:46.519 the hard rock things like that, and they would have 1:14:46.600 --> 1:14:50.960 to have sex at these locations, some form of sex. Yeah, 1:14:51.080 --> 1:14:55.080 sexual act, sexual act, well, intercourse I believe was what 1:14:57.360 --> 1:14:59.879 now weren't there certain there was points for the location, 1:15:00.040 --> 1:15:03.200 but also points for the act. Yes, yes, there was 1:15:04.600 --> 1:15:07.439 a two point conversion we called it. Yeah, and that 1:15:07.560 --> 1:15:09.960 was an extra two points if they did it. Yeah yeah, 1:15:10.000 --> 1:15:15.679 yeah the other way the other way, a three point conversion. Yeah, 1:15:15.960 --> 1:15:17.960 it was. Was it popular? Did they have you guys 1:15:18.040 --> 1:15:22.479 had a lot of volunteers? Oh yeah yeah yeah. They've 1:15:22.479 --> 1:15:24.800 gotten a drum and had rat faces poured on them. 1:15:24.800 --> 1:15:27.040 They're gonna get have sex. Come on, I'm just saying 1:15:27.120 --> 1:15:30.439 I didn't know. I mean, did you have to like tickets? Well, 1:15:30.520 --> 1:15:35.560 they got a trip to Boston. Yeah, it was a 1:15:35.680 --> 1:15:40.200 trip to the Boston Beer Company facility and uh tickets 1:15:40.560 --> 1:15:42.640 to maybe a socks game up there or something. So 1:15:42.680 --> 1:15:44.240 you don't have to co worce anybody. It was all. 1:15:44.280 --> 1:15:47.879 They loved that they would come in. We'd audition couples, 1:15:48.360 --> 1:15:50.320 so they would come into the studio and of course 1:15:50.520 --> 1:15:54.599 again Rockstar new things. It was amazing. So we had 1:15:54.680 --> 1:15:57.240 spotters that went out also with these people, whether they 1:15:57.240 --> 1:15:59.760 were some of them spotted here and there as well, 1:16:00.000 --> 1:16:04.840 I think type of spot uh, and they were people 1:16:04.920 --> 1:16:07.479 from the show and also stand up comics would go 1:16:07.600 --> 1:16:10.679 out and make sure that they were actually doing these 1:16:11.040 --> 1:16:15.719 these deeds because they play by play and we didn't 1:16:15.720 --> 1:16:20.840 want any dishonesty a reputable contest we're doing here. So 1:16:21.960 --> 1:16:25.840 Opie decided to put Church on the list. He just 1:16:25.920 --> 1:16:29.439 put Church now right away, the red flag went up. 1:16:29.600 --> 1:16:33.120 I'm like, I don't know about this. If he's like, 1:16:33.320 --> 1:16:35.120 no one's gonna do it, we'll just say it's on 1:16:35.200 --> 1:16:41.000 the list. But yeah, h my moral confidence. I'm not 1:16:41.040 --> 1:16:42.840 looking to plug anybody else. But ope, he doesn't have 1:16:42.880 --> 1:16:46.240 a book right because because you're just blaming everything on him, 1:16:46.240 --> 1:16:49.519 today's just pile it off. First book is the truth, 1:16:49.600 --> 1:16:52.960 That's what it is. Sorry, I got mine out first. 1:16:53.120 --> 1:16:55.000 If he had a good story, he would have written first. 1:16:55.760 --> 1:16:57.320 I guess he's too much guilt and he came up 1:16:57.360 --> 1:16:59.719 with these bits that he's got all you guys fired. 1:17:00.080 --> 1:17:03.639 That's that's it's so he puts church on this list, 1:17:03.760 --> 1:17:05.560 churches on the list. So that way when we're on 1:17:05.680 --> 1:17:09.760 the errand we read down the location, not churches, fried chickens. Well, 1:17:09.880 --> 1:17:12.040 although it could have been and that would have been funny, 1:17:12.320 --> 1:17:15.640 like church, yeah, good way out. So we're reading it 1:17:15.720 --> 1:17:18.599 off and it just sounds outrageous, wild church, that's nuts. 1:17:18.920 --> 1:17:21.800 Well we didn't know that. Uh. One couple and the 1:17:21.920 --> 1:17:26.040 spot ter, Paul Mecuri, Oh comic would actually go not 1:17:26.200 --> 1:17:30.040 only to a church, but the biggest, arguably the biggest 1:17:30.120 --> 1:17:35.439 Catholic church in the country, cathedral. Uh. And they did. 1:17:35.600 --> 1:17:39.280 And and right when we picked up the phone, he goes, uh, well, 1:17:39.600 --> 1:17:42.720 we're here at St. Pat's and they're doing the conversion, 1:17:42.920 --> 1:17:48.320 the conversion, and and we're like, and I looked at 1:17:48.360 --> 1:17:50.200 that dump button right in front of me. We had 1:17:50.280 --> 1:17:52.800 the delay. We had a long delay on the show. 1:17:52.920 --> 1:17:55.320 Oh yeah, I'll contil van Halen started playing right, and 1:17:55.400 --> 1:17:57.120 if the delay ran out, there was a guy in 1:17:57.160 --> 1:17:59.960 a locked room that hit a button and Van hale 1:18:00.160 --> 1:18:02.400 would start playing and we would be right. Because the 1:18:02.680 --> 1:18:04.439 real quick the way delay works I think we've explained 1:18:04.439 --> 1:18:06.439 it on the big shows. It's like your DVR when 1:18:06.520 --> 1:18:09.799 we pause it behind like thirty seconds and the commercial 1:18:09.880 --> 1:18:12.280 comes up. So imagine there's eight commercials and you skip 1:18:12.400 --> 1:18:15.080 through seven and the eighth commercial comes up and you 1:18:15.160 --> 1:18:17.320 have no skip left. You play Van Halen's you don't 1:18:17.320 --> 1:18:19.719 listen to the commercial, right right? That meant that because 1:18:20.439 --> 1:18:23.920 if we got it, Oh yeah, yes, so it got 1:18:24.040 --> 1:18:27.439 it got really nerve wracking. I'm looking at the button, 1:18:27.479 --> 1:18:30.080 going probably dump this. Oh you were in charge of 1:18:30.080 --> 1:18:32.320 the dump button. We all had buttons in front of 1:18:34.840 --> 1:18:37.240 had one. I had one. I thought there was just one. 1:18:37.479 --> 1:18:39.400 Oh no, there was a guy in the locked room. 1:18:39.479 --> 1:18:43.599 He had dump buttons and a big that's right. They 1:18:43.640 --> 1:18:45.360 had to have a d They had the guy in 1:18:45.400 --> 1:18:48.040 the back, I think because I remember you guys saying 1:18:48.080 --> 1:18:50.240 that Gus like we got the thing was and it 1:18:50.320 --> 1:18:54.280 was Al Duke's for a while. Yes I know Al now, 1:18:54.320 --> 1:18:56.920 which is funny. So the thing is they would get 1:18:57.000 --> 1:18:58.679 mad if they were dumped for things that they felt 1:18:58.720 --> 1:19:01.280 shouldn't have been dumb. Yeah, I'm gonna be able to 1:19:01.400 --> 1:19:03.519 dump in case the guy was too afraid to dump, 1:19:04.120 --> 1:19:05.760 like if he felt like they're gonna get mad at 1:19:05.800 --> 1:19:07.840 me for this dump or if it was questionable. So 1:19:07.960 --> 1:19:10.760 you had the button, we had the button. You can't 1:19:10.760 --> 1:19:17.519 throw anyone under the bus. We would freak out guests 1:19:17.600 --> 1:19:21.720 sometimes by cursing on the air. I turn around, say 1:19:21.720 --> 1:19:24.360 why don't you go yourself and actually say it, and 1:19:24.439 --> 1:19:28.560 then I'd hit the dumb button and what do you 1:19:28.640 --> 1:19:30.800 what did you just do? Like that's funny, we have 1:19:30.880 --> 1:19:33.880 a dump? Uh, but I'm staring at that button going 1:19:34.120 --> 1:19:37.120 and we neither of us, me or Opie. We didn't dump. 1:19:37.280 --> 1:19:39.679 The guy in the back didn't dump because it wasn't 1:19:39.680 --> 1:19:42.920 against FCC rules because it's going out over the air, 1:19:43.080 --> 1:19:48.560 but none of their regulations were broken, and uh, it 1:19:48.760 --> 1:19:51.920 just snowball. The police showed up, they arrested the couple 1:19:52.040 --> 1:19:55.519 and Paul mecurie O and uh then once the media 1:19:55.560 --> 1:19:58.760 got ahold of it, there's no coming back. There's no 1:19:58.960 --> 1:20:02.479 defending that that you you had a couple do that 1:20:02.720 --> 1:20:07.080 in uh st Pat's cat and the part that look, 1:20:08.479 --> 1:20:10.400 we don't know for a fact. I mean you might 1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:12.479 know for a fact, but as a listener, you don't 1:20:12.520 --> 1:20:14.400 know for a fact. Actually didn't know of course, like 1:20:14.479 --> 1:20:17.679 Paul mercurial could have said, Dad, they did it great radio. 1:20:18.040 --> 1:20:19.560 You guys are not guilty of anything. You don't know. 1:20:19.640 --> 1:20:21.439 I gotta be honest. At the time it was happening, 1:20:22.040 --> 1:20:25.920 I thought, ah, fear of the mind. I was hoping 1:20:25.960 --> 1:20:28.720 for you. So I said, there's no as much as 1:20:28.720 --> 1:20:30.160 you guys would never come out go we faked it 1:20:30.200 --> 1:20:33.799 because you didn't. But Paul may have. I said, please 1:20:33.960 --> 1:20:36.160 let them come out and make it. Say look, Paul. 1:20:36.320 --> 1:20:38.639 Paul comes out and says, we're going for the joke. 1:20:39.320 --> 1:20:42.280 Wasn't real. They weren't even in the church. They weren't 1:20:42.320 --> 1:20:44.559 doing it in the church. We just I thought it'd 1:20:44.560 --> 1:20:47.240 be funny, and you go, Paul. So man at Paul, 1:20:47.320 --> 1:20:49.679 why would you fake it? But he's great. They probably 1:20:49.720 --> 1:20:51.880 would have been away to Yeah, but it was the 1:20:51.920 --> 1:20:55.320 fact that you never said that, which was admirable, foolish 1:20:55.479 --> 1:20:58.920 but amiable. Paul distanced himself from He was like, I 1:20:58.960 --> 1:21:00.920 want no part of this. He was He seemed like 1:21:01.000 --> 1:21:02.200 he was like I'm just doing my job. Like he 1:21:02.320 --> 1:21:04.920 was like, I didn't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. 1:21:05.439 --> 1:21:07.800 It actually took place, I think in one of those 1:21:08.200 --> 1:21:10.640 vestibules before you even go into the church, one of 1:21:10.680 --> 1:21:13.840 the archways that surround the church. It happened in the 1:21:13.880 --> 1:21:17.200 alternate opening near the regular door, right near the door, 1:21:17.479 --> 1:21:21.599 and a security guard came over and and the anus 1:21:21.680 --> 1:21:27.160 of entries to the right exactly. Uh. And and Paul 1:21:27.520 --> 1:21:31.519 knowing what we want or thinking what we want the 1:21:31.880 --> 1:21:34.880 conversion that when security came over, instead of just saying 1:21:34.920 --> 1:21:37.639 all right, it's cool, no, nothing happened, will will leave, 1:21:37.760 --> 1:21:41.479 thank you, goodnight, he wanted a conflict because he knew 1:21:41.520 --> 1:21:44.519 we loved that. Uh. And that made it worse because 1:21:44.760 --> 1:21:46.800 then the police showed up. And once the cops showed up, 1:21:47.320 --> 1:21:49.000 that was it. The media got ahold of it. It 1:21:49.280 --> 1:21:51.920 turned into you know, people actually to this day go, 1:21:52.320 --> 1:21:56.760 didn't you and Opie have sex in the church? Yeah? 1:21:57.760 --> 1:22:02.479 Fake news. So we didn't know, you know, we didn't 1:22:02.479 --> 1:22:04.559 know it was going to get that far. But when 1:22:04.600 --> 1:22:06.479 you're when you're in radio and you're on the brink 1:22:06.520 --> 1:22:09.160 of being fired and you're watching the news, there's a 1:22:09.240 --> 1:22:12.519 tipping point where you go, oh, yeah, we're done. We're done. 1:22:12.720 --> 1:22:15.360 And yet, from what I read, not my personal opinion, 1:22:15.960 --> 1:22:17.559 it seems like a lot of people have had sex 1:22:17.640 --> 1:22:20.120 and churches and not lost their jobs. For it. Yeah. Yeah, 1:22:20.320 --> 1:22:25.120 they could have just transferred us to another parish. I 1:22:25.160 --> 1:22:27.320 saw in the movie. Yeah, plenty of movies about that. 1:22:28.040 --> 1:22:31.439 We we we. Uh So is there anything that you 1:22:31.479 --> 1:22:35.720 didn't put in the book that you thought was either 1:22:35.760 --> 1:22:38.200 too uncomfortable for someone that you knew and worked with it. 1:22:38.439 --> 1:22:40.120 You don't tell us what it is, but this thing 1:22:40.160 --> 1:22:44.000 has it seems like it's everything something you were like. No, 1:22:44.320 --> 1:22:45.680 as a matter of fact, you know what it is. 1:22:45.720 --> 1:22:49.720 When when you're doing radio for twenty years, Uh, you 1:22:49.880 --> 1:22:52.400 put everything out there. There are those slow news days 1:22:52.840 --> 1:22:56.639 when you're just sitting there and lately yeah, no, not lately, 1:22:57.120 --> 1:22:59.719 and when you got the likes of Jim Norton sitting 1:22:59.800 --> 1:23:02.880 neck to you, you're gonna open up and just talk 1:23:02.960 --> 1:23:06.080 about your life. And over the course of the years, 1:23:06.439 --> 1:23:09.600 everything's been put out there. It's embarrassing at times, but 1:23:09.840 --> 1:23:13.719 it's also freeing. You know, there's nothing anybody can approach 1:23:13.760 --> 1:23:15.680 you with and then go ah, ha, I got this 1:23:15.880 --> 1:23:18.320 on you. It's like we did that back in two 1:23:18.400 --> 1:23:20.760 thousand and seven. We talked about that and you guys 1:23:20.800 --> 1:23:24.599 were preaching authenticity and transparency long before it was yeah 1:23:25.200 --> 1:23:27.719 in radio, and now that's what we we talk about 1:23:27.760 --> 1:23:30.240 I mean we our show and with the Elvis Durran 1:23:30.280 --> 1:23:33.760 show is actually extremely transparent and we just like to 1:23:33.840 --> 1:23:36.280 put we put all our emotions out there. It makes 1:23:36.320 --> 1:23:40.400 the best people love it. But now, speaking about being transparent, 1:23:40.920 --> 1:23:45.360 you weren't transparent about one thing.

You're in the compound, right, 1:24:17.640 --> 1:24:22.200 compound media, compound media, dot com um and your compound media. 1:24:23.640 --> 1:24:26.160 Uh what's the what's the Twitter? I think that's a mistake. 1:24:26.760 --> 1:24:30.080 A compound America. Yeah. By the way, the voice hearing 1:24:30.120 --> 1:24:32.439 the background is my good friend Eric, who was noted 1:24:33.240 --> 1:24:35.559 on the Open Anthony Show. He was on our podcast 1:24:35.720 --> 1:24:39.599 last week, episode sixty I think right sixty or sixty one. 1:24:39.720 --> 1:24:41.599 We did sixty one. We did the resumes. Eric has 1:24:41.600 --> 1:24:44.880 been a great edition. He's only been with us a 1:24:44.920 --> 1:24:48.000 short time now, but it's great to have so at 1:24:48.080 --> 1:24:51.080 Compound America. So you're doing a show now you had 1:24:51.600 --> 1:24:53.719 when you first kicked it off, you Edwards Opie Opie 1:24:53.720 --> 1:24:56.719 ad words for you. He got emotional, You got emotional. 1:24:57.000 --> 1:24:59.720 Got well he did get that one day with he 1:25:00.240 --> 1:25:03.599 Yeah he did. You stayed angry? Yeah, no, no crying 1:25:03.640 --> 1:25:08.720 at the Compound. I'm the guy in the relationship, all right. Now. 1:25:09.360 --> 1:25:12.040 I thought I was under the impression as a listener 1:25:12.120 --> 1:25:15.040 that things sort of went astray. Let's say two thousand eight, 1:25:15.120 --> 1:25:17.720 two thousand seven, three quarters into your run. I could 1:25:19.040 --> 1:25:22.160 I knew Eric, I heard some things. I spoke to Jimmy, 1:25:22.200 --> 1:25:25.439 I heard some things. So I knew some things. This 1:25:25.680 --> 1:25:29.200 is not when the problem started. You were basically married 1:25:29.240 --> 1:25:31.400 to this guy on the radio. Your career was because 1:25:31.439 --> 1:25:34.920 of him. You, you, your success was your team, the 1:25:35.120 --> 1:25:38.240 ideas you're planning. When did the problem? When did you 1:25:38.280 --> 1:25:41.519 guys start growing apart? What year? Roughly it was a 1:25:41.680 --> 1:25:45.320 lot earlier on than people think. Really. Yeah. Yeah, when 1:25:45.360 --> 1:25:47.360 we first got together and went up to Boston, we 1:25:47.439 --> 1:25:52.320 were inseparable. Uh. It was myself and Opie my wife 1:25:52.560 --> 1:25:56.080 at the time. And that is that five chapters in 1:25:56.120 --> 1:26:00.559 the book. I just read the part about your wedding night. God, 1:26:01.360 --> 1:26:05.240 it was yet you're able to smile and left today horrifying. Yeah, 1:26:05.600 --> 1:26:08.200 but the separation went smooth from yeah, that went well, 1:26:09.600 --> 1:26:13.559 Oh my god. Anyway, and and Opie and his girlfriend 1:26:13.600 --> 1:26:15.120 at the time, and with the four of us were 1:26:15.120 --> 1:26:18.280 the four Musketeers. We had each other. We were up 1:26:18.320 --> 1:26:22.160 in Boston starting this amazing new career hadn't been yet, 1:26:22.400 --> 1:26:25.080 hadn't been fired. I was happy to be there guy, 1:26:25.640 --> 1:26:27.800 and it was great. And and me and Opie would 1:26:27.840 --> 1:26:31.040 get together in the mornings, have breakfast and lunch and 1:26:31.120 --> 1:26:33.280 discuss what we're gonna do on the show, and very 1:26:33.360 --> 1:26:38.960 excited about it. Once my marriage went uh put uh 1:26:39.080 --> 1:26:42.000 and and I started going out with another girl, and 1:26:43.800 --> 1:26:47.200 his girlfriend couldn't stand that fact that I was out 1:26:47.240 --> 1:26:50.040 of my marriage, and now this four Musketeers thing kind 1:26:50.040 --> 1:26:51.920 of broke up. This happened when we got back to 1:26:52.000 --> 1:26:54.240 New York because she was fed. Because Ope's girl was 1:26:54.320 --> 1:26:58.160 close with your wife. Yes, so that started the tension thing. 1:26:58.560 --> 1:27:00.800 You you left out a real sell her for this book. 1:27:00.880 --> 1:27:03.120 Oh yeah, there's the overlap. There's a little bit of 1:27:03.200 --> 1:27:05.160 you didn't just meet a girl, No, no, that it 1:27:05.320 --> 1:27:07.240 was the girl that me and my wife had a 1:27:07.320 --> 1:27:09.479 threesome with. Yeah, for an extended period of time, not 1:27:09.600 --> 1:27:12.439 just one that's in the books. Yeah. The reason why 1:27:13.600 --> 1:27:17.120 it's at least suspended primarily available at all places you 1:27:17.200 --> 1:27:19.760 find your books. Yeah, you want to sell it on 1:27:19.840 --> 1:27:24.040 your website dot com. By the way, I want to say, 1:27:24.080 --> 1:27:25.479 we'll say this couple of times, but if you use 1:27:25.560 --> 1:27:28.000 the promo code Compound twenty, do you get off a 1:27:28.040 --> 1:27:31.360 new subscription to your shows?

Yeah, yeah, 1:27:44.520 --> 1:27:47.680 it was well, my wife seemed to have this, uh 1:27:48.040 --> 1:27:51.200 kind of side of her that liked girls. There was 1:27:51.280 --> 1:27:54.519 a part of that that, like I said, and uh 1:27:54.720 --> 1:27:58.280 rock star book. The odd thing is I was able 1:27:58.320 --> 1:28:00.479 to pull this off when I was still in instruction 1:28:00.560 --> 1:28:02.799 back in New York. Yeah, it wasn't because you were famous. 1:28:03.320 --> 1:28:07.240 You didn't pull the DJ threesome. No. I I was 1:28:07.320 --> 1:28:10.479 doing a gig with my band years ago and this 1:28:10.600 --> 1:28:13.880 girl that was friendly with us, uh, was there, and 1:28:14.640 --> 1:28:16.600 my wife comes up to be drunk off r S 1:28:16.680 --> 1:28:19.479 and goes, hey, Cindy wants to come back and watch 1:28:19.640 --> 1:28:26.960 us have sex. I'm like, check, that's great, And I'm 1:28:27.080 --> 1:28:30.080 driving home with the girls were sitting. I had a 1:28:30.160 --> 1:28:33.000 work fan, that's all. I had my air conditioning Apollo 1:28:33.080 --> 1:28:35.720 air conditioning work fan. They're sitting in the passage seat. 1:28:35.720 --> 1:28:39.320 I'm in the driver's seat, wasted by the way, just thinking, please, 1:28:39.800 --> 1:28:43.200 if there's a god, don't pull me over, don't get 1:28:43.320 --> 1:28:46.920 Could you imagine having your first threesome potential right there 1:28:47.439 --> 1:28:51.120 and getting arrested and that would be but thank god 1:28:51.240 --> 1:28:56.439 that didn't happen. So became a regular thing. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, 1:28:56.560 --> 1:28:59.120 it was not the reason why you're married. You got destroyed. No, 1:28:59.280 --> 1:29:02.200 not that I'm it was it was every so often 1:29:02.280 --> 1:29:05.400 with this uh Cindy girl. And then when we moved 1:29:05.439 --> 1:29:08.719 up to Boston for the gig, it was we didn't 1:29:08.760 --> 1:29:11.439 really think about it. Uh. And then when we came 1:29:11.520 --> 1:29:14.120 back to New York three years later, she kind of 1:29:14.240 --> 1:29:16.200 was like, Hey, is there any way maybe you could 1:29:16.240 --> 1:29:18.800 find one of these fans, because that's when we really 1:29:18.840 --> 1:29:20.960 started getting all the girls coming into the studio and everything. 1:29:21.320 --> 1:29:23.960 And She's like, you think there's be anyway And I'm like, WHOA, 1:29:24.760 --> 1:29:27.920 I don't know trying. Meanwhile, I'm like, I'm going through 1:29:28.000 --> 1:29:35.439 Rollo decks in my head of potential. This is around there. 1:29:35.560 --> 1:29:38.559 So you guys, obviously the friendship took a turn. Whether 1:29:38.560 --> 1:29:41.120 either a guy gets married or whatever. In this situation, 1:29:41.200 --> 1:29:43.559 you got single and he wanted the thing that used 1:29:43.600 --> 1:29:46.160 to have. But when did it get uncomfortable in the studio? 1:29:46.439 --> 1:29:48.320 When was it for like I hate coming to work, 1:29:48.560 --> 1:29:52.519 this is not working. Yeah, I think he started getting 1:29:52.680 --> 1:29:56.839 some resentment to me and Jimmy. Also we really started 1:29:56.880 --> 1:29:59.479 hitting it off, and I think uh Opie felt his 1:29:59.680 --> 1:30:03.320 role was kind of being pushed into the logistics placed 1:30:03.479 --> 1:30:06.120 you added Jim Norton, a comic on the show. Yeah, Yeah, 1:30:07.280 --> 1:30:09.560 was the reason for that to add more conversation and 1:30:09.640 --> 1:30:11.800 to have an emissary in the clubs. What was the 1:30:11.840 --> 1:30:13.920 reason for adding Jimmy at that point? Because Opie brought 1:30:13.960 --> 1:30:18.120 him into the show. Opie says, now, uh that he 1:30:18.280 --> 1:30:20.640 did that to save the show, like because me and 1:30:20.760 --> 1:30:24.240 him weren't really getting along. And I don't really remember 1:30:24.320 --> 1:30:27.000 us not getting along to that extent where we needed 1:30:27.080 --> 1:30:29.960 somebody else to you know, as a buffer kind of 1:30:30.000 --> 1:30:32.720 a thing. But that's how Opie says. I just think 1:30:32.840 --> 1:30:37.880 Jimmy was a great third mike. Uh, just hilarious, quick, 1:30:38.360 --> 1:30:41.400 quick witted, he could throw something. He brought something to 1:30:41.560 --> 1:30:44.479 our show that we never had, which was this real 1:30:45.160 --> 1:30:49.160 natural ability to goof on each other self deprecation. We 1:30:49.360 --> 1:30:55.479 never did any kind of self deprecation if one yeah, yeah, 1:30:56.800 --> 1:31:01.280 but if we would never, we would never acknowledge. And 1:31:01.400 --> 1:31:03.400 Jimmy brought this whole thing to the show where if 1:31:03.600 --> 1:31:06.760 something bombed, he would be like, what was that? And 1:31:07.240 --> 1:31:09.040 we were horrified and first like, you know, you don't 1:31:09.080 --> 1:31:11.720 bring this up right, And then after a while you realized, no, 1:31:11.880 --> 1:31:14.800 that's the natural, funny thing to do, and people love it. 1:31:14.880 --> 1:31:16.599 And we do that we on our show. If somebody 1:31:16.640 --> 1:31:19.760 messes up, we're on top of them, even if it's 1:31:19.800 --> 1:31:24.639 all yeah. And I think that's a style of radio 1:31:24.720 --> 1:31:27.640 that didn't exist thirty years ago. It didn't it was 1:31:27.960 --> 1:31:31.760 nothing wrong. And I don't want to discount Howard. We're 1:31:31.760 --> 1:31:33.240 gonna get to talk about how in a minute, because 1:31:33.240 --> 1:31:35.920 he plays a role in this whole story here and there. Um. 1:31:36.160 --> 1:31:38.320 So what I'm saying is, as a listen, I couldn't 1:31:38.320 --> 1:31:40.240 tell so you came in every day. Now, there's one 1:31:40.280 --> 1:31:43.240 story where when it got really bad, your buddies with Jimmy. 1:31:43.280 --> 1:31:45.280 Jimmy has now migrated to be your best buddy, and 1:31:45.360 --> 1:31:47.400 you're you're sort of like a team, and Opie's on 1:31:47.400 --> 1:31:50.839 an island by himself, and you sent a text message. 1:31:51.840 --> 1:31:54.920 Right you're in the studio and you wanted to send 1:31:54.920 --> 1:31:57.960 a text message to Jimmy about how uncomfortable it was 1:31:58.080 --> 1:32:00.639 working with Opie that morning. Yeah, what did the text 1:32:00.680 --> 1:32:03.880 message say? Do you remember? It said? Uh, the little 1:32:04.479 --> 1:32:08.960 c words. Uh won't even look at me because there 1:32:09.080 --> 1:32:11.400 was something I hope he would do. He if he 1:32:11.520 --> 1:32:13.200 was mad at you, he wouldn't make you like you 1:32:13.280 --> 1:32:15.679 weren't in the room. He wouldn't make eye contact, wouldn't 1:32:15.680 --> 1:32:17.960 even look at you. If he if his head, his 1:32:18.080 --> 1:32:20.559 line of sight had to pass by me to get 1:32:20.600 --> 1:32:23.519 to another person's line of sight. He literally is as 1:32:23.560 --> 1:32:25.960 you'd see him go over my head, back down, and 1:32:26.320 --> 1:32:28.439 anything he could do to avoid icon. And again, these 1:32:28.439 --> 1:32:30.680 are two people who are listening. You made a lot 1:32:30.720 --> 1:32:35.439 of money. Oh yeah, very well, you guys made a 1:32:35.479 --> 1:32:36.720 lot of money. A lot of it was because of 1:32:36.800 --> 1:32:40.439 my XM subscription. I know, thank you. And yet your 1:32:40.560 --> 1:32:44.200 your lives and success are based on each other. You're 1:32:44.240 --> 1:32:47.439 getting along is how you guys have a job. Imagine 1:32:47.479 --> 1:32:49.599 you're listening to this podcast. Whatever you do for a living, 1:32:50.000 --> 1:32:52.519 and the person who you rely on, whether you're a 1:32:52.600 --> 1:32:54.960 doctor and you have a nurse or your two lawyers 1:32:55.040 --> 1:32:58.000 like Selina and Barnes, the most famous lawyers in America. 1:32:58.200 --> 1:33:00.200 They hate each other. They hate each other. You don't 1:33:00.240 --> 1:33:03.360 root Celeno and Barnes, you know. And so you guys 1:33:03.400 --> 1:33:06.519 are trying to be funny every day you're not working 1:33:06.560 --> 1:33:08.439 on a on a rock pile. Were like, fuck him, 1:33:08.479 --> 1:33:10.360 I'll break rocks. You have to be funny. You have 1:33:10.439 --> 1:33:13.080 to play off each other. So you send a text 1:33:13.120 --> 1:33:15.640 message it says the C word isn't whatever and what 1:33:15.800 --> 1:33:19.120 went wrong? Well, I I sent it to Jimmy and 1:33:19.200 --> 1:33:22.040 then I looked at it and right after I had sent, 1:33:22.200 --> 1:33:23.680 I look at the top of the text, and it 1:33:23.720 --> 1:33:30.160 says Opie, I sent it to Opie. So I send 1:33:30.240 --> 1:33:36.160 the same little studio. Oh yeah. I froze right then 1:33:36.320 --> 1:33:40.400 I'm looking and and all you think is maybe something 1:33:40.439 --> 1:33:44.559 will go wrong, maybe it won't send, maybe something until 1:33:46.360 --> 1:33:49.800 right right. That would have been beautiful. But but I'm 1:33:49.840 --> 1:33:54.360 sitting there and I hear on the console and it's 1:33:54.439 --> 1:33:57.639 his phone, and I'm like, oh, there's there's my text. 1:33:58.320 --> 1:34:00.080 I see him pick up the phone and look at it, 1:34:00.400 --> 1:34:02.559 and then his eyes just go up and look right 1:34:02.600 --> 1:34:07.920 at me. He goes, what is this? And I had nothing. 1:34:08.680 --> 1:34:13.680 I couldn't have said something. You know, how how do 1:34:13.760 --> 1:34:14.960 you not look at him? How do you not look 1:34:14.960 --> 1:34:18.320 at him and go Jimmy's an ass am? I right, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, 1:34:19.560 --> 1:34:22.920 look at You're right about him? He uh. It was 1:34:23.000 --> 1:34:26.360 like I had nothing, So I finally I just went, well, yeah, 1:34:26.439 --> 1:34:28.320 you're being a dick. Why don't you look at me? 1:34:28.600 --> 1:34:32.839 I figured I would just let him let that. Fifteen 1:34:32.880 --> 1:34:35.439 years later, Larry David did an episode about that, that 1:34:35.560 --> 1:34:39.439 you send the unintentional text message deliberately. Yes, you're like, oh, 1:34:39.800 --> 1:34:41.400 I want to buy my wife a gift, she's so 1:34:41.479 --> 1:34:44.480 hot today, but you send it to horror, like the intention, 1:34:45.000 --> 1:34:46.840 but you didn't know about that then. I didn't know, 1:34:46.920 --> 1:34:48.479 and it was the opposite. I was just trying to 1:34:48.479 --> 1:34:51.080 get a reaction, buddy, and you helping you at that 1:34:51.240 --> 1:34:53.720 point that you had been talking about him behind his 1:34:53.800 --> 1:34:56.760 back to Jimmy to Jimmy. Yeah, yeah, you know, so 1:34:56.920 --> 1:34:59.960 I tried to cover Jimmy by saying I was sending 1:35:00.000 --> 1:35:03.680 it to my girlfriend and and I don't think he 1:35:03.760 --> 1:35:07.080 bought it. Well, the show ended, so I'm guessing you 1:35:07.080 --> 1:35:09.560 didn't buy it. Yeah, yeah, he didn't buy it. Was 1:35:09.760 --> 1:35:11.560 true that at the end it got so bad that 1:35:11.760 --> 1:35:13.559 you guys would perform well on the air, and then 1:35:13.640 --> 1:35:16.240 once you guys hit commercial, you guys would just bolt 1:35:16.360 --> 1:35:18.400 out of the studios and oh yeah yeah. There was 1:35:18.439 --> 1:35:22.200 a lot of bathroom breaks and uh and just not 1:35:22.560 --> 1:35:27.200 paying attention to each other, not looking at each other big. Yeah. Yeah, 1:35:27.320 --> 1:35:30.519 it's it's a small but I would go into the 1:35:30.600 --> 1:35:33.200 live read, he would get up and walk away and 1:35:33.520 --> 1:35:36.080 things like that. So yeah, and then the second the 1:35:36.120 --> 1:35:38.240 show ended, we would just bolt and go to our 1:35:38.320 --> 1:35:41.640 respective vehicles and that was it. It was. It was 1:35:41.760 --> 1:35:46.400 tough spoken him recently. Uh No, we kind of did 1:35:46.439 --> 1:35:49.639 a couple of he did a phoner on my show, 1:35:49.800 --> 1:35:53.920 and you know, obviously I'm on his show. We were 1:35:54.080 --> 1:35:58.200 cordial and then that just kind of broke apart. It 1:35:58.320 --> 1:36:01.679 was sort of a a week peace treaty that didn't 1:36:01.760 --> 1:36:04.680 Quittin and Lewis, Mike and the Mad Dog, all the 1:36:04.840 --> 1:36:08.040 bands and things that you see, guns and roses and 1:36:08.600 --> 1:36:12.800 eagles like it happens. You know, it's twenty years, you know, 1:36:13.840 --> 1:36:16.840 twenty years with a beautiful wife that doesn't work a 1:36:16.920 --> 1:36:20.960 lot of times. Never mind, what from that? I know 1:36:21.160 --> 1:36:24.800 nine I was married nine years. Let's let's talk about 1:36:25.280 --> 1:36:28.200 maybe my favorite story. And we know one of the 1:36:28.200 --> 1:36:32.760 people involved other than you you were dating. It's up 1:36:32.800 --> 1:36:34.880 to you whether you want to mention the name Jill Nicolin. 1:36:35.000 --> 1:36:38.559 She's on the books book. So Jill Nicoline is a wonderful, 1:36:38.720 --> 1:36:43.880 beautiful local New York newscaster. Yeah, she was the traffic girl. Right, 1:36:43.960 --> 1:36:46.519 she does reports local, she goes out and she doesn't right. Anyway, 1:36:46.680 --> 1:36:48.080 we've met her. Now, I'll tell you after you hit 1:36:48.120 --> 1:36:49.640 the story. I don't want to. We had her up 1:36:49.640 --> 1:36:53.080 here on a five years ago for something. A lot 1:36:53.120 --> 1:36:54.960 of times the local stations will send people up to 1:36:55.000 --> 1:36:57.240 cover a major story. And so she was up here 1:36:57.280 --> 1:37:00.560 that day and very nice, oh very and all I 1:37:00.640 --> 1:37:04.920 could think about it was this story. I'm looking at her, 1:37:05.120 --> 1:37:08.080 I'm thinking about laptops, I'm thinking about closets, and I'm 1:37:08.600 --> 1:37:12.080 family party, and I'm like both and I'm trying, and 1:37:12.120 --> 1:37:13.599 then i'm you know, and then there's all those new 1:37:13.640 --> 1:37:16.320 pictures are online. I couldn't something in that. And then 1:37:16.360 --> 1:37:18.560 I'm look at the new pictures. I'm going Anthony hit that, 1:37:19.520 --> 1:37:21.720 And that's what I could think about. He told me that, 1:37:21.960 --> 1:37:25.720 He's like I told him that. I said, listen, we 1:37:25.840 --> 1:37:27.640 have somebody coming up today. You've never met her. You 1:37:27.720 --> 1:37:30.920 probably seen on television. But if you don't remember the story, 1:37:31.160 --> 1:37:33.920 remember Anthony had that story. That's hard. That was the 1:37:34.080 --> 1:37:39.080 summer romance. How did you know the part? Okay, the 1:37:39.240 --> 1:37:41.080 part in the book I didn't understand, and I want 1:37:41.080 --> 1:37:42.559 to make sure you tell it. It's part of the story. 1:37:43.120 --> 1:37:46.600 As this what happened happened. There was a party in 1:37:46.680 --> 1:37:50.679 the house, right, Okay, a party going on in your house. 1:37:51.040 --> 1:37:54.280 Your girlfriend Jill is at the party. Yeah. Yeah, it 1:37:54.400 --> 1:37:57.800 was a party, like it was mine and Jill's party. 1:37:57.880 --> 1:38:01.920 It was under the families had Labor Day. Yeah, both 1:38:02.040 --> 1:38:07.559 families were their friends. A huge party involved. Oh yeah, 1:38:08.479 --> 1:38:10.840 at that point, I'm sure he did the jacouz. He's 1:38:10.920 --> 1:38:17.519 got the jacouz. He's going. I mean barbecues and mixed drinks. 1:38:19.200 --> 1:38:22.800 It was great. And uh boy, there was just this 1:38:23.000 --> 1:38:27.040 girl from Canada that I had hooked up with a 1:38:27.120 --> 1:38:31.640 few times, and she was, oh yeah, invited her to 1:38:31.720 --> 1:38:33.800 this party because you thought something good would come from this. 1:38:34.520 --> 1:38:38.479 I was. I was always terrible at this. I was 1:38:38.560 --> 1:38:41.040 always very bad at the cheating thing. I got no 1:38:41.240 --> 1:38:44.559 game as far as cheating goes. I am all out there. 1:38:45.680 --> 1:38:48.920 Some Anthony's bat. Some people are bad at cheating in 1:38:49.080 --> 1:38:51.240 terms of they go out and then they lie about 1:38:51.240 --> 1:38:53.559 where they went, or they have lipstick on their collar. Yeah. 1:38:53.960 --> 1:38:56.200 You take it to a new level. You invite both 1:38:56.280 --> 1:38:59.320 women to your house. The flies over so stupid, and 1:38:59.360 --> 1:39:02.479 then you bring this Canadian girl up to your room. 1:39:03.320 --> 1:39:06.360 Yeah yeah, I brought her up to my room. Well, 1:39:06.439 --> 1:39:09.760 Jill and her family are downstairs. Yeah. First we were 1:39:09.840 --> 1:39:12.200 fiddling around in the jacuzzi. You know, you can't see 1:39:12.240 --> 1:39:15.240 through those bubbles, so we're kind of sitting in the 1:39:15.320 --> 1:39:19.120 jacuzzi and uh, screwing around a little bit under the bubbles. 1:39:19.240 --> 1:39:23.720 Che Right assesses you to leave the party. Did you 1:39:23.800 --> 1:39:26.080 think for a second that that Jill wasn't going to 1:39:26.160 --> 1:39:27.560 come looking for you. Well, it was sort of the 1:39:27.680 --> 1:39:29.960 tail end of the party. It was like, I think 1:39:30.520 --> 1:39:33.240 the sun was coming up, a lot of people passed out, 1:39:33.439 --> 1:39:36.759 a lot of people had left. Yeah, so I figured, 1:39:36.800 --> 1:39:40.000 you know, at this point, not passed out. Uh no, 1:39:41.720 --> 1:39:45.320 she yeah, she had. Uh, I guess she was entertaining 1:39:45.760 --> 1:39:49.920 people and she had went out for something. Yeah. I 1:39:49.960 --> 1:39:51.960 thought she was gone, Okay, I'm gonna go out for 1:39:52.040 --> 1:39:53.920 beer or whatever she like. Yeah, yeah, I thought she 1:39:54.040 --> 1:39:58.960 was gone. And Canada, So I had Canada come up. Yeah, 1:39:59.120 --> 1:40:02.519 doing my duty is a good American. Uh and and 1:40:02.840 --> 1:40:05.760 uh then I hear I hear Jill pulling up in 1:40:05.840 --> 1:40:09.000 the driveway, and I'm like, oh here. I Am like 1:40:09.200 --> 1:40:11.800 this is red handed stuff right here. So I sent 1:40:11.880 --> 1:40:15.000 the Canadian to the walking closet. Had two big walking 1:40:15.080 --> 1:40:20.280 closets in the house. Yeah, and you yeah, I was 1:40:20.320 --> 1:40:23.519 in bed and in the closet. Yeah. She gets in 1:40:23.560 --> 1:40:27.160 the closet and Jill comes into the bedroom and uh, 1:40:28.120 --> 1:40:32.240 oh boy, I she she uh starts getting a little 1:40:32.280 --> 1:40:39.000 amorous with me. And that's a big word. It means yeah, yeah, yeah, 1:40:39.120 --> 1:40:44.519 yeah yeah. So if you know that way and keep 1:40:44.640 --> 1:40:48.639 quiet in the closet. She was keeping quiet in the closet. Yeah, 1:40:49.000 --> 1:40:53.760 And but Jill, Jill had started doing stuff that exposed 1:40:53.800 --> 1:41:02.000 her to certain fragrances of yes. So she goes, what's 1:41:02.200 --> 1:41:06.040 that and like, I don't again, I had nothing like 1:41:06.160 --> 1:41:08.840 the Opie text. Okay, it must have been a wet dream. 1:41:08.920 --> 1:41:12.320 I was thinking of you. That would have been that 1:41:12.400 --> 1:41:16.160 would have been good. But yeah, so she looks around 1:41:16.200 --> 1:41:20.160 the room and walks towards the closet. She opens up 1:41:20.200 --> 1:41:22.920 one of the closets. It's not the one the Canadians 1:41:22.960 --> 1:41:26.719 in number one door number one. Now this is almost 1:41:26.800 --> 1:41:29.120 like when the when Opie's phone was going off. To 1:41:29.240 --> 1:41:31.800 walk over to the phone the closet, don't open the 1:41:31.880 --> 1:41:35.639 closet and uh so she walks back and she's really 1:41:35.680 --> 1:41:38.680 giving me like the what have you? She's mad, she 1:41:38.800 --> 1:41:42.040 knows something's up, um, but she didn't go back to 1:41:42.120 --> 1:41:45.439 the other closet right away. Uh. She's yelling, man, I'm 1:41:45.479 --> 1:41:47.160 like great, yelling at me. Keep it coming, you know, 1:41:47.280 --> 1:41:50.400 get mad and leave. Uh. But then she she looks 1:41:50.439 --> 1:41:52.360 at the other closet and goes over there and opens 1:41:52.400 --> 1:41:55.560 it and there's the pride of Canada sitting right in 1:41:55.560 --> 1:41:58.360 the middle of the floor and just and just waves 1:41:58.400 --> 1:42:00.920 to her, how are you doing? She was taff dress 1:42:00.960 --> 1:42:03.880 because she was putting her clothes on, like how are 1:42:03.920 --> 1:42:07.680 you doing? And Jill then uh ran out of the 1:42:07.720 --> 1:42:11.120 place and took off. Yeah it was terrible, but this 1:42:11.439 --> 1:42:18.799 this the more because she gets a little revenge on revenge, 1:42:18.880 --> 1:42:23.000 some property damage and on the Canadian and oh, it 1:42:23.400 --> 1:42:27.000 just was out of hand. I don't know. I've done 1:42:27.200 --> 1:42:30.680 horrible things like that in relationships and uh, what are 1:42:30.680 --> 1:42:33.960 you gonna do? I've I've grown over the years. Right, 1:42:34.120 --> 1:42:36.640 Luckily nothing bad is happened to so you got right, right, 1:42:36.800 --> 1:42:43.960 It's not like there's karma. Howard Stern, Robin Howard Stern 1:42:44.600 --> 1:42:47.200 probably the reason a lot of us in radio, that's right, 1:42:47.240 --> 1:42:50.840 the king of all media, Robin no I I of 1:42:51.000 --> 1:42:53.680 course he's the legend, the legend, the biggest thing. And 1:42:53.920 --> 1:42:56.920 he'll be to tell you he invented everything, invented, you know, 1:42:57.160 --> 1:43:00.599 in retrospect, most of it as far is the point 1:43:00.680 --> 1:43:02.600 where he was at the beginning of his career, and 1:43:02.720 --> 1:43:06.320 as high the height of his Private Parts movie and 1:43:06.400 --> 1:43:09.360 his book. He was the inventor of much many things, 1:43:10.200 --> 1:43:12.000 and he was he was everything. Nothing as far as 1:43:12.080 --> 1:43:15.559 the modern day shock jock goes like that was him. 1:43:15.800 --> 1:43:19.120 Everybody when it's like, oh you're when people said, oh, 1:43:19.200 --> 1:43:21.680 you're a Howard wanna be and it's like, yeah, I 1:43:21.800 --> 1:43:24.200 want to be doing a show like that and and 1:43:24.560 --> 1:43:27.080 having that kind of success. Weird. Nobody looks at baseball 1:43:27.120 --> 1:43:28.880 players and says, oh, you're a Mickey Man, will wanna be? 1:43:28.960 --> 1:43:32.360 Want to be? Ye? Yeah? The guy, first of all, 1:43:32.439 --> 1:43:35.479 makes a hundred million dollars a year. He's at the time. 1:43:35.520 --> 1:43:37.719 He didn't have a hot wife, He had a nice wife. 1:43:38.200 --> 1:43:40.920 Couldn't have been more successful, reinvented the industry of radio. 1:43:41.479 --> 1:43:43.720 Who wouldn't want to emulate that? I saw Private Parts 1:43:43.800 --> 1:43:45.800 and I said I want to do that for a living? Yeah, yeah, 1:43:45.880 --> 1:43:48.240 that exactly. You know who wouldn't. And there's a way 1:43:48.280 --> 1:43:51.920 to take what he did, be inspired by it and 1:43:52.439 --> 1:43:56.360 do your own thing. Uh. And that's different than taking 1:43:56.960 --> 1:44:01.000 his bits verbatim and running We've done prank phone calls, 1:44:01.040 --> 1:44:03.320 of course, and people will go, you're ripping off Howard. 1:44:03.520 --> 1:44:06.599 He did that bit um. We did a bit which 1:44:06.640 --> 1:44:12.240 one was it? No? Yeah, one of his guys our 1:44:12.320 --> 1:44:15.479 prank phone call becaust and Elvis has a saying, if 1:44:15.560 --> 1:44:18.040 you steal something from us, it's been stolen twice. Right. 1:44:18.920 --> 1:44:20.720 We invent a lot of things. We've created a lot 1:44:20.760 --> 1:44:22.320 of things, but sometimes you borrow things and you make 1:44:22.360 --> 1:44:24.800 them better. We didn't invent the prank phone call, but 1:44:25.200 --> 1:44:26.840 being in New York and and and being able to 1:44:26.880 --> 1:44:29.360 call New Yorkers and we actually we we we feel 1:44:29.400 --> 1:44:31.280 like we have our own style of of busting on 1:44:31.400 --> 1:44:34.240 people and in a day talking to yourself, we get 1:44:34.320 --> 1:44:36.360 that we're nothing like that's what it was. There was 1:44:36.439 --> 1:44:39.439 nothing talking to yourself bit where we call we we 1:44:39.680 --> 1:44:41.840 usually somebody that's you know, we get them to say 1:44:41.880 --> 1:44:44.000 a bunch of phrases things that you record them, put 1:44:44.040 --> 1:44:45.599 them on a button bar, and then then have them 1:44:45.640 --> 1:44:49.160 talk to themselves. We actually did that first, like two 1:44:49.240 --> 1:44:51.519 thousand five to four. That was the one thing we 1:44:51.600 --> 1:44:53.800 did first. No one has done that before that to 1:44:53.880 --> 1:44:57.040 our knowledge, and so we would call it. We call 1:44:57.080 --> 1:44:58.800 a couple of places where we got some people that 1:44:58.840 --> 1:45:01.080 weren't the smartest so well you'd ask them questions like 1:45:01.200 --> 1:45:03.680 who's this. They'd say their name and they'll say, uh, 1:45:04.320 --> 1:45:05.800 you know, are you home right now? Yes? We get 1:45:05.800 --> 1:45:08.200 them to say certain phrases uh, and then we would 1:45:08.200 --> 1:45:09.960 play the phrases back, and because it was over the 1:45:10.080 --> 1:45:15.760 radio phone, they didn't recognize the voice, so people would 1:45:15.840 --> 1:45:18.560 gell at themselves and like, don't call here again, Like 1:45:18.760 --> 1:45:22.600 is this Joanne? I'm Joanne? I'm joe Anne anyway, and 1:45:22.720 --> 1:45:26.160 so they stole from us. So Howard is the king 1:45:26.200 --> 1:45:28.160 of all media. Right, you guys come to New York. 1:45:28.640 --> 1:45:31.360 You're doing afternoons at a radio station owned by the 1:45:31.400 --> 1:45:34.880 same company company. Howard's on k Rock, which was FM 1:45:35.120 --> 1:45:37.920 CBS in the mornings, and you were on any w 1:45:38.120 --> 1:45:42.439 CBS afternoons. Not really competition, but turned into a Leno 1:45:42.520 --> 1:45:44.760 Lederman thing where you couldn't book guests that he had 1:45:44.800 --> 1:45:48.760 on and yeah, he was not gracious. No, no, I 1:45:49.200 --> 1:45:54.080 think uh. And and without without patting ourselves on the back, 1:45:54.560 --> 1:45:58.360 we handled him differently than any other show handled Howard Stern. 1:45:58.920 --> 1:46:02.800 And because I was such a big fan, uh, I 1:46:02.960 --> 1:46:07.400 had an idea of how you could battle Howard without 1:46:07.800 --> 1:46:11.439 really battling him, and it was by having fun making 1:46:11.640 --> 1:46:15.240 fun of him. Uh. In a way like a fan 1:46:15.360 --> 1:46:18.360 would so that all of his fans wouldn't. If you 1:46:18.479 --> 1:46:20.920 come into New York and go, oh, how it Sterns sucks. 1:46:21.000 --> 1:46:23.439 We rule, all of his fans are gonna go, no, 1:46:24.160 --> 1:46:27.479 Howard rules, you suck. So it never works that way. 1:46:27.600 --> 1:46:29.720 You can't do it. But if you are such a 1:46:29.760 --> 1:46:32.120 big fan and you start goofing on the fact that 1:46:32.560 --> 1:46:34.960 he goes to the Hampton's on the weekends and you 1:46:35.040 --> 1:46:38.360 know he's Hollywood Howie and doing an impression of him, 1:46:38.439 --> 1:46:41.200 and and it's really deep, like you're doing an impression 1:46:41.280 --> 1:46:43.920 and doing material that only a fan would know, then 1:46:43.960 --> 1:46:46.559 the fans are gonna go, holy, that's kind of funny, 1:46:46.680 --> 1:46:49.240 like he does do that, Oh my god. And it 1:46:49.360 --> 1:46:51.280 was a great way to just chisel the way make 1:46:51.360 --> 1:46:54.040 him seem a little hypocritical, and and and the fans 1:46:54.160 --> 1:46:56.280 loved it, like we get you, like we get you, Howard, 1:46:56.320 --> 1:46:59.639 which we get it. Were just just bust them balls 1:46:59.720 --> 1:47:01.960 over me kind of a thing. By the way. You 1:47:02.160 --> 1:47:04.240 do great impressions, and a lot of them you do. 1:47:04.520 --> 1:47:06.880 Uh Chris Man dog Russo, who was a big national 1:47:06.920 --> 1:47:10.360 sports Oh yeah, yeah, you do. Don iMOS, don i'mos 1:47:10.680 --> 1:47:14.880 I amost in the morning program. All your jerk shut 1:47:14.960 --> 1:47:18.880 up McGirk. I and so you went on Howard before 1:47:18.920 --> 1:47:22.200 you were famous, and did didn't you do Howard? Yeah? Yeah, 1:47:22.200 --> 1:47:24.839 I used to do like it was never a good impression. 1:47:24.880 --> 1:47:28.479 It's just kind of a video pression on video of 1:47:28.560 --> 1:47:31.639 you on his show. Yes. Yeah, before I ever got 1:47:31.680 --> 1:47:34.439 into radio is right before I did a Jackie the 1:47:34.520 --> 1:47:38.560 joke Man impersonation contest that they had any excuse to 1:47:38.640 --> 1:47:41.880 get into the studio. So when I called up, they 1:47:41.920 --> 1:47:44.040 were like, all right, come on in, and I was thrilled. 1:47:44.080 --> 1:47:45.840 I went in with a buddy of mind, Randy, and 1:47:46.240 --> 1:47:48.600 we drove into the city and got up into the 1:47:48.640 --> 1:47:52.200 old K Rock studios and it was a dream for me. 1:47:52.320 --> 1:47:56.519 I was standing there, Howard's behind the console, all the 1:47:56.600 --> 1:47:59.519 players are there, Fred and Jackie and Gary and Robin, 1:47:59.840 --> 1:48:03.400 and it was fantastic. And I, again, like I did 1:48:03.479 --> 1:48:05.800 with Opie, I figured I'm in there, I'm cutting loose 1:48:06.040 --> 1:48:09.320 so again, spinning the plates, juggling chainsaws, whatever I could do, 1:48:09.840 --> 1:48:13.400 And Howard's laughing his ass off, and I'm like, whoa, 1:48:13.560 --> 1:48:17.599 this is great. Like I'm making Howard. They're gonna hire 1:48:18.280 --> 1:48:22.600 away from Opie in hindsight, is a good thing. He 1:48:22.720 --> 1:48:25.400 didn't because I had taken the Howard job, and we 1:48:25.520 --> 1:48:27.719 all know how those guys don't make it two dimes 1:48:27.800 --> 1:48:32.840 to rub together if you work with Howard. But no, 1:48:32.920 --> 1:48:37.200 it was it was fantastic, and that was that I 1:48:37.439 --> 1:48:39.519 I went then with with Opie. But I always had 1:48:39.560 --> 1:48:42.320 that that thing of making Howard laugh. So I thought 1:48:42.360 --> 1:48:44.680 he was like, oh, who's that Anthony. That Anthony's a 1:48:44.720 --> 1:48:47.080 good He's good, he's funny. I was like, holy shit, 1:48:47.320 --> 1:48:50.720 is yeah, and so your idol knows who you are. 1:48:50.840 --> 1:48:53.360 He thinks you're talented. And then it went south because 1:48:53.600 --> 1:48:55.960 you guys blew up in the ratings. You became number one. Yeah, 1:48:56.240 --> 1:48:58.960 and now he's not the only talk of New York. Yeah, 1:48:59.040 --> 1:49:02.280 he feels he's got kind of squash anybody that's making 1:49:02.320 --> 1:49:05.000 a name for themselves in radio. I guess even though 1:49:05.040 --> 1:49:07.960 we weren't a competitor, he knows how radio is, and 1:49:08.040 --> 1:49:10.519 we very well could have been a competitor at any moment, 1:49:10.960 --> 1:49:14.120 gotten hired away by If you two idiots can do it, 1:49:14.360 --> 1:49:18.880 then it diminishes what right, right, I'm the only guy 1:49:18.880 --> 1:49:20.840 whould be number one because the number one then it's like, Oh, 1:49:20.840 --> 1:49:23.240 anybody come to New York and the number one? I 1:49:23.280 --> 1:49:26.120 want to hear a little bit more about about current 1:49:26.160 --> 1:49:29.400 Anthony kobia, like the podcast, So, how is that how 1:49:29.520 --> 1:49:32.280 your your radio show blew up? You were let go 1:49:32.439 --> 1:49:35.960 by serious exams. I want to for the listener to 1:49:36.000 --> 1:49:38.320 everybody up. You lose the gig going along, you can 1:49:38.360 --> 1:49:40.760 figure out how what happened. It happened, and then you 1:49:40.840 --> 1:49:43.679 don't have a show for a while, and the internet 1:49:43.920 --> 1:49:47.240 exists and you decide you're going to do something with yourself. Yeah. Yeah, 1:49:47.560 --> 1:49:50.240 I was up and running a month after I got fired. 1:49:50.400 --> 1:49:53.800 That's how quickly, because we know that's how you had 1:49:53.880 --> 1:49:56.120 to do it. It had to be quick. People forget 1:49:56.280 --> 1:49:58.400 very quickly. And I had a studio built in my 1:49:58.479 --> 1:50:02.479 house already. I for years I loved the idea of 1:50:03.320 --> 1:50:06.040 just being home a news event happens, or I just 1:50:06.160 --> 1:50:09.680 feel like it popping on, going online and putting a 1:50:09.760 --> 1:50:13.479 show out there for people HD video so I could 1:50:13.520 --> 1:50:16.640 have news clips and a cry on and and a 1:50:16.760 --> 1:50:20.360 lower third, like I wanted it to look like the news, 1:50:20.880 --> 1:50:24.560 but with me just saying ridiculous stuff. So I it 1:50:24.680 --> 1:50:27.360 had to be professional. So I had this studio in 1:50:27.439 --> 1:50:31.519 my house, thank god, because then when I got fired, Uh, 1:50:31.680 --> 1:50:33.760 my buddy Keith, the cop is just like, you got 1:50:33.840 --> 1:50:37.479 this studio down there, let's switch, let's figure it out. 1:50:37.640 --> 1:50:40.040 You know. All we really needed was the logistics of 1:50:40.120 --> 1:50:42.720 getting it out to a lot of people at once. Uh. 1:50:42.880 --> 1:50:45.320 So you know you need a company that hosts the 1:50:45.439 --> 1:50:49.760 servers and and things like that, the technical end. But yeah, 1:50:49.880 --> 1:50:51.920 and that took about a month and we were up 1:50:51.960 --> 1:50:55.400 and running as a subscriber service, a subscribed service. Uh, 1:50:55.600 --> 1:50:59.240 and it was great. I was actually surprised at how 1:50:59.360 --> 1:51:02.360 quickly we were able to get that done. Uh. And 1:51:02.520 --> 1:51:05.519 then as time went on, we realized a lot of 1:51:05.600 --> 1:51:08.479 other shows I want to do this. They want the 1:51:08.560 --> 1:51:13.120 ability to get on and be completely uncensored. And uh, 1:51:13.320 --> 1:51:16.679 we picked up a few shows. You're a pioneer because 1:51:16.800 --> 1:51:18.240 a lot of them, a lot of the shows are 1:51:18.360 --> 1:51:20.680 away behind the carve. You were ahead of it. You 1:51:20.840 --> 1:51:26.280 started this in what the summer fourteen, the the current show. Yeah, 1:51:26.360 --> 1:51:28.080 but even before that, like I said, I was doing 1:51:28.120 --> 1:51:30.040 the live from the compound from my house while I 1:51:30.120 --> 1:51:33.360 was still working at Serious for years before that. So 1:51:33.840 --> 1:51:39.519 even Joe Rogan, who has a very successful podcast, listen 1:51:39.600 --> 1:51:43.280 to it. We're up against him in in a podcast, right, 1:51:44.040 --> 1:51:47.160 but he doesn't love his fans. But he even said, like, 1:51:47.400 --> 1:51:50.000 it was your show from your house that inspired me 1:51:50.080 --> 1:51:52.720 to go, Yeah, why wouldn't somebody just grab a mic 1:51:52.840 --> 1:51:55.479 and and do a show like that? So, guys, I 1:51:55.600 --> 1:51:57.280 have to give you credit. Not only did you put 1:51:57.320 --> 1:52:01.120 girls in Gallon dramas, but you, to my knowledge as 1:52:01.160 --> 1:52:04.080 a listener and a student of radio, one of the 1:52:04.120 --> 1:52:07.840 first shows to put webcams in the studio yea, to 1:52:08.040 --> 1:52:11.360 film things, to to make it a multimedia experience. I 1:52:11.439 --> 1:52:13.080 mean how it had the show on e but you 1:52:13.200 --> 1:52:15.719 guys had like a webcam that was taking like pictures, 1:52:15.800 --> 1:52:18.280 like like a couple of frames, a couple of streamed 1:52:18.280 --> 1:52:22.280 at like one frame every ten seconds or something. And 1:52:22.320 --> 1:52:24.799 then you put cameras in every Mike station that followed 1:52:24.800 --> 1:52:29.040 you around the room. That was stuff that nobody was doing, right, Eric, Yeah, 1:52:30.880 --> 1:52:32.880 it was that. And then it upgraded to the pal 1:52:33.000 --> 1:52:35.760 Talk service where it was live streaming and they were 1:52:35.840 --> 1:52:38.200 interacting with us live on the air as the show. 1:52:38.360 --> 1:52:43.400 It was a video conferencing system called pal Talk. It 1:52:43.520 --> 1:52:45.760 was yeah, and it was on my laptop in front 1:52:45.800 --> 1:52:48.760 of me. So people could watch me and do the show, 1:52:48.880 --> 1:52:52.639 and I would be watching monitors, like eight different feeds 1:52:52.720 --> 1:52:56.840 from people from their house, most of them naked girls 1:52:56.880 --> 1:53:00.240 in bed. So I would sit doing the show watch that. 1:53:00.320 --> 1:53:03.519 And Opie hated that one, oh because he knew sometimes 1:53:03.600 --> 1:53:07.320 I was just horribly distracted. Uh, but you know I 1:53:07.400 --> 1:53:10.280 had to get the next Canadian closet girl, so I 1:53:10.479 --> 1:53:13.760 was focus. I was shopping. It was online shopping for me. Yeah, 1:53:14.200 --> 1:53:18.560 multimedia was not something. I'll take that one. And we 1:53:18.640 --> 1:53:20.479 know we never referenced, but real quick whip them out. 1:53:20.479 --> 1:53:22.320 Wednesday was you guys put bumper stickers on your cars. 1:53:22.640 --> 1:53:25.640 It's a w W would open Anthony logo and you 1:53:25.760 --> 1:53:27.559 put the like we've put the Z free money sticker 1:53:27.880 --> 1:53:29.479 right right, put the money sticker on your car and 1:53:29.520 --> 1:53:31.120 if we spot it, you get a hundred dollars right 1:53:31.200 --> 1:53:33.600 there you go. Every radio station has done that. You 1:53:33.760 --> 1:53:37.680 guys had girls flash. Yeah people if you if you 1:53:37.720 --> 1:53:39.840 had on your car, girls would flash the drivers of 1:53:39.880 --> 1:53:41.559 the car. Yeah, we asked the girls and then you'd 1:53:41.600 --> 1:53:43.720 go live to people. You were sticker spotting, but it 1:53:43.760 --> 1:53:46.439 was a different kind of sticker spotting. Yeah, we'd do 1:53:46.560 --> 1:53:50.200 sticker stops and those were hilarious because Earl from the 1:53:50.280 --> 1:53:52.360 show would go out and do it and it was 1:53:52.560 --> 1:53:57.080 some some catastrophe would always happen. It was naked women right, right, 1:53:57.240 --> 1:53:59.840 more naked women. Right. So you're doing the Compound show. 1:54:01.200 --> 1:54:03.479 The again, the pal talk thing was revolutionary. Now you're 1:54:03.479 --> 1:54:06.160 doing the Compound show. You have nine shows, is it? Yeah? 1:54:06.200 --> 1:54:08.720 I think we're up to nine and always looking and 1:54:08.880 --> 1:54:10.920 adding new ones we get. We're in talks with other 1:54:11.000 --> 1:54:14.000 people as we speak, and uh yeah, it's just building 1:54:14.080 --> 1:54:16.559 up into something that I never expected. I thought, here 1:54:16.600 --> 1:54:20.640 I am, I'm damaged goods. I need a platform and 1:54:20.920 --> 1:54:23.400 and we kind of put something together that a lot 1:54:23.520 --> 1:54:28.519 of other shows are are really um clamoring to get 1:54:28.600 --> 1:54:32.560 on because they want to speak openly and honestly. Podcasts 1:54:32.600 --> 1:54:35.120 that are out there and the numbers growing over how 1:54:35.360 --> 1:54:37.080 and somebody that might be listening to this it might 1:54:37.120 --> 1:54:39.680 be inspired, like what do you look for? What do 1:54:39.760 --> 1:54:41.640 you because I mean, because now you're now you're also 1:54:41.680 --> 1:54:44.960 a producer to you're not You're not just oh yeah, yeah, 1:54:45.240 --> 1:54:48.200 this is your compound. You have to like I could 1:54:48.240 --> 1:54:53.080 tell when people are appreciative of the freedom that they 1:54:53.200 --> 1:54:56.960 can have at Compound Media. Uh and and and the 1:54:57.040 --> 1:55:00.080 shows reflect that. In Hot Water with Geno Bisconti and 1:55:00.160 --> 1:55:03.080 Aharonberg is a show that we have on in the 1:55:03.160 --> 1:55:06.680 morning that I I watch and listen to and go, yeah, 1:55:06.760 --> 1:55:11.440 that's way over the line. I'm horrified by some of 1:55:11.480 --> 1:55:15.160 the stuff I see on that shows. Did you call 1:55:15.240 --> 1:55:20.880 the I reported them immediately. Uh, they're going to hru Yeah, 1:55:21.000 --> 1:55:23.560 it's uh. But that's the kind of shows. I want 1:55:23.680 --> 1:55:26.800 guys that are willing to take those chances, fearless that 1:55:26.960 --> 1:55:29.760 all they need is that platform that isn't gonna fire them. 1:55:30.000 --> 1:55:32.600 I don't want a filter on people. Once you have 1:55:32.640 --> 1:55:36.040 a filter, it it takes away from the funny. You know, 1:55:36.120 --> 1:55:39.200 a joke can be hilariously funny. A second later, it's okay. 1:55:39.440 --> 1:55:42.000 Two seconds later, it's not even funny anymore. And if 1:55:42.040 --> 1:55:44.200 you're trying to think of who you might offend, or 1:55:44.400 --> 1:55:47.080 you're scared for your job or this, you're gonna filter things. 1:55:47.120 --> 1:55:50.080 And it's detrimental to actual comments right there. Is why 1:55:50.160 --> 1:55:52.160 when when you when I tweet a joke out on 1:55:52.320 --> 1:55:54.520 you know, because that's where I sometimes let my other 1:55:54.600 --> 1:55:58.480 side out. People go too soon. You don't understand how 1:55:58.520 --> 1:56:01.560 a comics mind works. It's like if you say cold, 1:56:01.600 --> 1:56:04.640 I'm saying hot, like immediately, like, so the joke has 1:56:04.720 --> 1:56:06.360 to get out. It's almost like like a fart. You 1:56:06.440 --> 1:56:08.560 have to let it out right, so you get the 1:56:08.640 --> 1:56:10.120 fart out of the far out of your system. You 1:56:10.160 --> 1:56:12.560 tweet the joke. It's up to you as the as 1:56:12.600 --> 1:56:15.440 the listener or the tweet reader to decide when you're 1:56:15.440 --> 1:56:17.800 ready for it. I'm ready the minute it pops into 1:56:17.840 --> 1:56:19.720 my head. I can't hold the joke. And because what 1:56:19.800 --> 1:56:21.720 happens is you tweet the joke three days later when 1:56:21.720 --> 1:56:24.120 it's acceptable, and they go, yeah, so and so did 1:56:24.200 --> 1:56:28.240 that a fourth guy. You gotta be first only because 1:56:28.280 --> 1:56:33.440 you want people to appreciate the joke. Jokes. Yeah, too soon, 1:56:33.560 --> 1:56:37.200 Lincoln sat in the theater. It's too soon. So yeah, 1:56:37.480 --> 1:56:38.880 you know, we played the play. You have this this 1:56:38.920 --> 1:56:41.440 snowflake jingle. So whenever we have like a snowflake story, 1:56:41.480 --> 1:56:44.720 people get offended. I can't believe it's so offensive. We 1:56:44.840 --> 1:56:49.520 play this music real quick, up, snowflake alert. Here it comes. 1:56:51.840 --> 1:56:56.800 It's just an old song from and So. The beauty 1:56:56.840 --> 1:57:01.040 of your show, like she said, is no filter. Yeah, Paul, 1:57:03.240 --> 1:57:05.440 and you don't have time to think about whether or 1:57:05.480 --> 1:57:07.440 not you should say it or not. Yeah, yeah, now 1:57:07.600 --> 1:57:10.960 you own, you run. This is your thing, Compound media, 1:57:11.000 --> 1:57:13.360 as you would write, you the compound right, Well, let's 1:57:13.360 --> 1:57:16.560 give the compound media dot com. With all that said, 1:57:16.640 --> 1:57:19.080 if you've been paying attention to this, this podcast today, 1:57:19.920 --> 1:57:23.040 I can't guarantee you won't be fired by this thing. Yeah, 1:57:23.160 --> 1:57:25.480 even though you own it, isn't it weird? It's still 1:57:25.520 --> 1:57:28.000 a five percent chance you could get fired. It gets 1:57:28.160 --> 1:57:31.440 me nervous when I see, like the Papa John guy 1:57:31.560 --> 1:57:36.320 gets fired, has to step down because he's doing things 1:57:36.400 --> 1:57:38.560 on Twitter. This is gonna be a reference no one's 1:57:38.560 --> 1:57:43.160 gonna get. But there's an eighties band called Docking. They've fired. 1:57:44.200 --> 1:57:47.440 You can't fire Doc. The band was named Dock and 1:57:47.480 --> 1:57:51.000 they fired him. So I prematurely asked the question because 1:57:51.040 --> 1:57:52.360 it was in the middle of a great story. So 1:57:52.560 --> 1:57:54.600 I'm gonna come back to it now. How do you 1:57:54.800 --> 1:57:57.120 how do you handle this now? With this culture? Could 1:57:57.160 --> 1:58:03.080 you fire somebody who knows what we can? We could 1:58:03.080 --> 1:58:07.000 be fired for having you on our podcast. Built by association. 1:58:08.560 --> 1:58:11.320 We just let it fly, let it fly, put it 1:58:11.400 --> 1:58:13.400 out there. So, so how do you how do it? 1:58:13.480 --> 1:58:18.040 How have you changed? It's uh, I haven't. You're there, 1:58:19.920 --> 1:58:22.440 I am now you were worried about your own more, 1:58:23.040 --> 1:58:26.600 not worrying. I was horrified by But but people love 1:58:26.680 --> 1:58:30.160 it and I think it's great. It's such a weird 1:58:30.320 --> 1:58:33.640 time wherein people want to be outraged. They they're they're 1:58:33.760 --> 1:58:37.320 they're looking at things, they're seeking out things to be 1:58:37.480 --> 1:58:40.920 mad at. Social media is the bane of of of 1:58:41.360 --> 1:58:44.040 society these days. It's the worst thing you could do 1:58:44.520 --> 1:58:47.200 is go on social media. If you're a young kid 1:58:47.720 --> 1:58:49.240 and you want to have some kind of career in 1:58:49.320 --> 1:58:52.240 the future, What the hell are you thinking posting because 1:58:52.280 --> 1:58:55.600 you don't know something you right today, that's fine in 1:58:55.720 --> 1:58:58.360 ten years, could be the worst thing ever ever said. 1:58:58.480 --> 1:59:00.600 There's like that that Major League Baseball a picture he 1:59:00.720 --> 1:59:02.160 was like, oh, he made the All Star Game, Denne 1:59:02.240 --> 1:59:04.680 became famous. They found he had racist tweets. He had 1:59:04.720 --> 1:59:07.600 tweets that I know a guy who got fired for tweets. 1:59:07.880 --> 1:59:12.560 It happened. Yes, it does happen, and you just, uh, yeah, 1:59:12.880 --> 1:59:17.160 I've divorced myself from social media and that it's one 1:59:17.200 --> 1:59:20.520 more divorce. But all of it is just so bad 1:59:20.720 --> 1:59:25.200 for society too. We've I think when it first came out, 1:59:25.280 --> 1:59:27.040 everyone thought, this is great. We're gonna be able to 1:59:27.120 --> 1:59:31.200 exchange ideas and and uh socialized, and it's gonna be 1:59:31.240 --> 1:59:33.160 a good thing. And we instantly brought it down to 1:59:33.200 --> 1:59:38.000 the lowest common denomina just crapping on each other over criticizing. 1:59:38.040 --> 1:59:44.960 Because everybody has amplifications everyone everyone's opinion is equal. Some 1:59:44.960 --> 1:59:47.160 of these people don't deserve to be amplified. And you 1:59:47.280 --> 1:59:49.400 have access. I say it all the time. It's like, 1:59:49.520 --> 1:59:51.480 do you think Clark Gable had to put up with 1:59:51.760 --> 1:59:54.600 people telling him Gone with the winds sunk? Like, no, 1:59:55.000 --> 1:59:58.040 you would have to find like what's the addressed to Metro. 1:59:58.440 --> 2:00:01.920 I'm gonna get a hand out in the stamp, and 2:00:02.360 --> 2:00:04.480 then his people are gonna read it first. And if 2:00:04.480 --> 2:00:06.400 he says Gone with the wind suck, they're not giving 2:00:06.440 --> 2:00:09.839 it to him. Now it's like, oh, yeah, your movie sucks. 2:00:10.240 --> 2:00:12.880 You shouldn't have that kind of access. And you know what, people, 2:00:13.400 --> 2:00:16.080 I have a rule if I talk about someone, I 2:00:16.240 --> 2:00:19.080 don't ever tweet at them, Like if I'm gonna complain 2:00:19.120 --> 2:00:21.680 about a movie or a baseball player, and then people 2:00:21.720 --> 2:00:24.640 will will reply and they'll add that person in and 2:00:24.720 --> 2:00:26.560 they go to I tell him to go, don't do that. 2:00:27.080 --> 2:00:29.040 If I wanted to let Mike Piazza know that I'm 2:00:29.040 --> 2:00:31.560 mad at my Piazza, I will tweet at Mike Piazza. 2:00:31.920 --> 2:00:34.520 If I just write Mike Piazza, no at that's because 2:00:34.520 --> 2:00:36.640 I just want my fans and my followers and my 2:00:36.760 --> 2:00:39.080 mad friend friends to go, oh brody and opinion on 2:00:39.160 --> 2:00:41.000 my Piazza. I don't want my Piazza to know I 2:00:41.040 --> 2:00:45.760 have He'll catch heat because oh, you're a pussy copying him. 2:00:45.920 --> 2:00:48.040 I'm gonna copy him for Yeah, you don't get to 2:00:48.080 --> 2:00:49.560 make that to see. Yeah, you know, if you're gonna 2:00:49.560 --> 2:00:51.000 talk about him, I'm gonna let him know what you 2:00:51.000 --> 2:00:53.440 talk about because now you're the one telling him. That's 2:00:53.480 --> 2:00:54.920 like if I go, that's like if I can call 2:00:55.000 --> 2:00:56.400 up open now and go, you know anything, just talking 2:00:56.560 --> 2:01:02.040 about you should listen to this podcast. He knows blessed 2:01:02.080 --> 2:01:03.720 if hope he wants to plug this podcast, he's mother 2:01:03.720 --> 2:01:07.600 the welcome listen. I have no beat, he played my songs, 2:01:07.640 --> 2:01:09.480 he pushed the start button. It's all fair, that's all good. 2:01:10.120 --> 2:01:13.640 Uh So people want to subscribe? Did they go to 2:01:13.760 --> 2:01:19.080 Compound Media again promo code compound for new subscriptions. Yeah, 2:01:19.480 --> 2:01:22.160 that's that's only because of the Brooklyn Boys. If you 2:01:22.160 --> 2:01:24.440 don't listen to this podcast, you'd never get that exclusive. 2:01:24.680 --> 2:01:26.840 It's like Monty Burr, you put my name in by 2:01:26.880 --> 2:01:31.640 the microphones. Now, we we joked about this because we 2:01:31.760 --> 2:01:33.720 do this podcast. We don't we get paid for it. 2:01:33.960 --> 2:01:36.600 We do it after hours, right. We made a joke 2:01:36.640 --> 2:01:38.400 once you saw many people listening were like, you know, 2:01:38.840 --> 2:01:41.320 and we've said it on the podcast. If we charged 2:01:41.560 --> 2:01:44.920 ten cents an episode, just ten cents or a quarter 2:01:45.040 --> 2:01:47.320 a month we do one week, like if you like us, 2:01:47.480 --> 2:01:49.680 I would pay ten cents for a podcast I like 2:01:49.800 --> 2:01:52.640 fully ten sense sense did I figured it out to go? 2:01:53.640 --> 2:01:57.080 We wouldn't be doing very well right right? Yeah, granted 2:01:57.200 --> 2:01:58.880 you are more successful than we are, and I'm fine 2:01:58.920 --> 2:02:01.280 with that. You could be humble. You charge a little 2:02:01.280 --> 2:02:04.960 more than ten cents. We have a higher overhead, you 2:02:05.040 --> 2:02:07.280 have that green screens, and you gotta pay for the 2:02:07.440 --> 2:02:11.720 Rocks salary band with right bandwidth. But people are willing 2:02:12.040 --> 2:02:15.040 and I understand it. Well, we're not in the world now. 2:02:15.160 --> 2:02:18.280 We pay for Netflix, right, we pay for Hulu, we 2:02:18.400 --> 2:02:21.480 pay for Spotify, we pay my heart. Radios free, but 2:02:21.600 --> 2:02:24.520 you pay for the things you you're willing to pay right, 2:02:24.760 --> 2:02:26.880 You're willing to pay for HBO back in the day, 2:02:26.960 --> 2:02:29.240 Like pay for HBO. Now you're like, I couldn't live 2:02:29.240 --> 2:02:32.280 it out HBO. Of course, if something is your niche, 2:02:32.880 --> 2:02:35.280 you'll pay for it. Yeah. We live in a world 2:02:35.400 --> 2:02:38.760 where you don't have to listen to something that's not 2:02:38.880 --> 2:02:40.960 really what I like, but I watch it. Yeah, it's 2:02:41.040 --> 2:02:45.880 and and it's kind of a safety too, because when 2:02:45.960 --> 2:02:50.520 you just depend on sponsors, you're opening yourself up to 2:02:50.680 --> 2:02:55.480 vulnerability of having people boycott. We're just having threatening pull 2:02:55.560 --> 2:02:58.200 sponsors and now you're screwed again. You never lost the pinnacle, 2:02:58.400 --> 2:03:04.600 horny goat weed spots or he that Oh my god. 2:03:05.800 --> 2:03:07.560 I've been reading a lot of articles and seeing interviews 2:03:07.600 --> 2:03:09.960 that a lot of these people are saying that subscription 2:03:10.320 --> 2:03:14.200 is the future keeping this to great content alive. Yeah, 2:03:14.240 --> 2:03:19.560 because you can't depend on uh, some other entity to 2:03:19.760 --> 2:03:23.040 keep you going because they'll get to them and then 2:03:23.120 --> 2:03:25.800 you're screwed. We have a couple of sponsors, but it's 2:03:25.880 --> 2:03:28.600 not like you know, it's supplements what we're doing instead 2:03:28.640 --> 2:03:31.880 of we're living or dying by by the sponsor. Uh. 2:03:32.200 --> 2:03:35.920 So we got people that subscribe. They're great, they support 2:03:36.000 --> 2:03:39.600 what we're doing, and they do appreciate again that that 2:03:40.000 --> 2:03:42.760 you know, we're saying whatever the hell we want, and 2:03:42.840 --> 2:03:46.360 it's it's great, this is great. I have to say selfishly, 2:03:46.400 --> 2:03:48.920 I would keep you here another three hours, you know, right, 2:03:49.120 --> 2:03:52.840 because I think legitimately two eighteen as we're recording this, 2:03:53.560 --> 2:03:56.080 until a nineteen years that I've been a fan. I 2:03:56.600 --> 2:03:58.520 remember we have a mutual friend or you do a 2:03:58.520 --> 2:03:59.920 great impression of that, I'm gonna ask you to do. 2:04:00.080 --> 2:04:03.240 No one's gonna get I used to headline Governor's Comedy 2:04:03.280 --> 2:04:05.600 Club out in Long Island. I was in a comedy 2:04:05.640 --> 2:04:11.600 group and we we headlined Wednesday nights for about ten years. 2:04:12.600 --> 2:04:14.960 Comics would open for us. We would headline, so we 2:04:15.040 --> 2:04:18.040 had Kevin James, Lisa Lympinelli, some big name comics would 2:04:18.080 --> 2:04:20.840 come and open for us. But it was hosted by 2:04:20.880 --> 2:04:26.160 the morning show at B A B. Right, yeah, yeah, 2:04:26.880 --> 2:04:29.680 And so Bob came to me one day. He knew 2:04:29.680 --> 2:04:31.880 I was a comedian at the time and sketch comedy 2:04:31.920 --> 2:04:35.280 improv guy, and he said, uh, you know there's a 2:04:35.760 --> 2:04:37.560 I said, hey, have you had these guys. I read 2:04:37.600 --> 2:04:38.960 in the paper that there's a new show in New 2:04:39.040 --> 2:04:42.640 York Opie and Anthony, and apparently they worked at B 2:04:42.720 --> 2:04:44.240 A B at some point he was the morning show 2:04:44.280 --> 2:04:47.800 guy Pep and you can do the voice. But he said, yeah, 2:04:47.880 --> 2:04:50.680 these guys are they really talented. I gotta say that, 2:04:50.800 --> 2:04:55.360 you're gonna really like them. Yeah, yeah, Bob was Bob 2:04:55.880 --> 2:05:00.040 wanted me to do his show. Uh. When me and 2:05:00.080 --> 2:05:05.080 Opie were negotiating with Boston, they came to me and actually, 2:05:05.560 --> 2:05:09.120 Bob's like, we're gonna, We're gonna give you this opportunity. 2:05:09.560 --> 2:05:14.640 Anthony here at w B A V. You want, you want, 2:05:14.720 --> 2:05:17.960 you want the you want the seven to midnight. And 2:05:18.240 --> 2:05:21.760 I'm like, wait a minute, you're offering me Opie's show 2:05:23.000 --> 2:05:25.120 when Opie already said he'd go to Boston with me 2:05:25.280 --> 2:05:28.440 as a team, like that, what a what a that 2:05:28.600 --> 2:05:32.760 would be a scumbag move right there. I take his job. 2:05:33.080 --> 2:05:35.640 And then and then Boston goes, well, we we wanted 2:05:36.120 --> 2:05:40.160 Opie and Anthony, and so I I turned that down. 2:05:40.680 --> 2:05:43.840 H yeah, because I didn't know from radio. I need 2:05:43.880 --> 2:05:46.400 to learn with that. On the flip side Z one 2:05:46.840 --> 2:05:48.320 at the morning show, I was dur in the morning show. 2:05:48.880 --> 2:05:52.440 I worked here. I was freelancing, sending in song parody scripts. 2:05:52.480 --> 2:05:54.360 I was faxing them in back in the day. I 2:05:54.480 --> 2:05:57.600 was sending cassettes in, you know, and uh. I hung 2:05:57.640 --> 2:05:59.720 out and I wrote jokes and whatever. They're like, hey, listen, 2:05:59.720 --> 2:06:01.640 you can come back anytime you want. They didn't no 2:06:01.760 --> 2:06:02.960 job for me. They had nothing. They was just like, 2:06:03.000 --> 2:06:05.480 you can come in the morning. They said, you can 2:06:05.520 --> 2:06:09.240 come in. I was writing jokes for Leno and Bill 2:06:09.320 --> 2:06:11.640 Maher and Conan O'Brien, and I was I was hanging 2:06:11.680 --> 2:06:13.200 out in the studio. One morning, I was writing jokes 2:06:13.480 --> 2:06:15.120 and I was writing on a napkin with a sharpie, 2:06:15.200 --> 2:06:17.440 like it was just splotchy. There was no smartphones. And 2:06:17.520 --> 2:06:18.920 Elvis says to me, what are you doing over there? 2:06:19.080 --> 2:06:21.920 I go, I'm writing some monologue jokes for Jay Leno. 2:06:22.320 --> 2:06:23.960 He was let me see those. So he looks at it. 2:06:24.040 --> 2:06:26.360 He was looks at Elliot, who was our host at 2:06:26.360 --> 2:06:28.040 the time. He says, if you're gonna stand in this 2:06:28.080 --> 2:06:29.680 studio and write jokes, you write them for me. Get 2:06:29.760 --> 2:06:33.040 him some scrap paper. And so I became the joke 2:06:33.120 --> 2:06:35.320 writer of the show. But I wasn't getting paid so 2:06:35.720 --> 2:06:37.840 my wife says to me, listen, if you want to 2:06:37.880 --> 2:06:40.120 hang out with these guys and learn radio, quit your job. 2:06:40.160 --> 2:06:43.960 I'll support you. Go wow. Yeah, different story than than 2:06:44.040 --> 2:06:49.680 yours on the flip side. No threesomes in my life. 2:06:50.600 --> 2:06:52.400 And so I went to Bob Buckman and I said 2:06:52.680 --> 2:06:55.000 one Wednesday night when he was there, I said, Bob, listen, 2:06:55.040 --> 2:06:57.520 I have this opportunity to be on the morning show, 2:06:57.520 --> 2:06:58.880 but they're not gonna pay me. And he said, I 2:06:58.960 --> 2:07:01.400 gotta tell you. You get a foot in the door 2:07:01.680 --> 2:07:04.320 because you gotta take it. That's it because this industry, 2:07:04.440 --> 2:07:07.080 because you get in. You gotta get in. That's the key. Yeah, 2:07:07.320 --> 2:07:09.600 just get in, impressed them, make a job for yourself. 2:07:10.040 --> 2:07:12.360 And so Bob was really the guy and my wife 2:07:12.760 --> 2:07:15.400 who pushed me to do radio and to take the 2:07:15.480 --> 2:07:18.120 leap quit my real job, which was I was in retail. 2:07:18.200 --> 2:07:22.520 Not you know, similar crappy job for me. It was miserable. 2:07:22.520 --> 2:07:23.840 If you haven't read telling you love it that's great. 2:07:23.880 --> 2:07:27.680 My wife, when we came back from Boston after that 2:07:27.960 --> 2:07:32.280 first interview we had on the Answering Machine, was like, hey, 2:07:32.360 --> 2:07:35.240 we want to hire you. I'm like, whoa, this is amazing. 2:07:35.320 --> 2:07:38.000 Oh my God. The wife is like, because they said 2:07:38.200 --> 2:07:40.200 they would give me, it worked out to be five 2:07:40.280 --> 2:07:43.080 hundred dollars a year less than I was making doing construction. 2:07:43.520 --> 2:07:45.680 And my wife's like, you call them and tell them 2:07:45.720 --> 2:07:48.240 you need to make what you're making right now.
