Yeah? 3 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: All right, starting? Who's got something to talk about? I 4 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: thought it was so cool talking to Richard from NCL today. 5 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: I know, I was fascinated. I'm like, are you on 6 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: the originally the original Broadway cast recording? Are you be 7 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: like after we get off the air, like if such 8 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: a theater geek? But why did you not pursue that theater? Yeah? Um, 9 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that. My dad, Like, you know, I 10 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: said to my dad, Oh, after college, I'm going to 11 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: pound the pavement, and you know we aren't paying for college, 12 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: you know, you know, you get that whole spielzo. And 13 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,639 Speaker 1: then I think I started working here my junior year 14 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: of college, and I kind of was like, well, do 15 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: I give this up or do I go pursue that. 16 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: I mean I did audition for Walt Disney World. I mean, 17 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: there was a whole bunch of things going on. So 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: I decided to stay here and it worked out. So 19 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: all these Broadway shows they always bring in like I 20 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: don't know, Anderson, Pam Anderson, Yeah, why couldn't we have them? 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: Bring on Danielle Naro I don't think Pam Anderson Danielle 22 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: Naro very similar. That's not so believe. Maybe you had 23 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: more talent than her. I don't know. I don't know 24 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: about that, But hook didn't. Greg t cameo and Beetlejuice. Yeah, yeah, 25 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: brought in a couch. So they had a bunch of 26 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: us going do foot loose. I think on Broadway, Yes, 27 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: I think this is before like there's a lot more 28 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: restrictions now because of like the Union and stuff. But 29 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: we went down there and we had to learn the choreography, 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: and we had costumes and everything. We were in a 31 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: whole scene and we all were dancing stuff. It was 32 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: actually pretty cool. Oh it was a while ago. It 33 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: was a while, all right, Danielle. They come to you 34 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: today and say, we're putting you in a Broadway show tomorrow. 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: What show would it be? Wicked? Who would you play? 36 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: I would like to be Alphabe that's the Witch and 37 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: you and you have to quit this show to do it. 38 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: You have to lose a leg. Now now it's getting interesting, exactly. 39 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: You gotta go one up here? Would you Switt if 40 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: you could do it all over again from the beginning, 41 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: would you? Because you I know you're a theater buff. Now, 42 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 1: I know because I just I know, because I know 43 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: how my career goes, so I would not want to 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: change anything. Plus, eventually your body starts to hurt. Now 45 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: you just sit on your end. Yeah you heard what 46 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: he said. He's saying his body hurts. Yeah. Well, I mean, 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: especially if you're a dancer. I mean you your feet. 48 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: I mean I was never a dancer, but like I've 49 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: seen dancer's feet. They are disgusted, gnarly. Yeah, like those 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: are all crooked and broken. Why are we looking at 51 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: Scotty because every time he los his microphone he does 52 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: it in such a dramatic fashion. Dude, what do you do? 53 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: Very loud? Yeah loud? I don't know. All right, that's 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: a great question. Actually scary regrets. If you could go 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: back and redo anything, what would you do regrets? I've 56 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: had a few, you know, see, I'm an anomaly. I 57 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: had my eye on the prize. I wanted to do radio. 58 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: I used to call up radio stations as a kid, 59 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: called the request lines, try and win prizes. And then 60 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, the second I had a chance to do 61 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: it in college, take internships, I did it. I did 62 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: it all. I wanted to do something in entertainment, radio 63 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: or television. I gravitated toward radio and I never looked back. 64 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: And I'm one of the few people that I look 65 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: at in my life that is doing exactly what they 66 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: wanted to do since they were nine years old. And 67 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: I know that is not the case for most people 68 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: in my life. I talk about this all the time 69 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: with people. I feel like radio is a hobby that 70 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: I just get paid for. Who's the bigger Who's the 71 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: bigger radiohead? Between you and Scottie b Because Scotti Bet 72 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: was the same growing up we're around. Yeah, yeah, we 73 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: followed the same path, I know, But who's the bigger one? 74 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: You mean? I invited the entire morning show at WPLJ, 75 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: including Jim Kurtim bar Mitzvah you did. Yeah, you went 76 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: up me on that. Nobody came and my theme, my 77 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: bar misva theme was radio, so it was every table 78 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: was a different radio station. Really yeah, ok, yeah, you 79 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: dressed up as a walkman. Well, I mean that I 80 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: was already working in radio at that. Pamet let me 81 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: let me just kind of get a little granular then 82 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: for both of you guys, I mean, you're both a 83 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: part of a very huge, successful show. At some point, 84 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: do you wish you would have tried your own thing 85 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: and done your I know, Scottie, you tried. Yeah. I mean, look, 86 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: I love this job more than anything. I love radio 87 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: more than anything. But sometimes I wish I was just 88 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: a cop or a firefighter, so I would be retired already, 89 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, with a big pass. That's where I differ. 90 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't trade this for the world. And I feel 91 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: him look at me right now, and I'm just I'm 92 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: doing it. You never issue would have done your own 93 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: thing like you're You're happy being a part of this. God. Yeah, 94 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: I'd rather be a small fish in a smaller fish 95 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: in a bigger pond than a big fish in a 96 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: small pond, only because I've heard the trials and tribulations 97 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: from all of you people who've been around. What about it? Okay? 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: So that I have no regrets? What about he? No regrets? Um, No, 99 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: other than wanting to be a maleman. Yeah, oh my god, 100 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. A letter carrier. I would have loved that. 101 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: I'd be almost retired by now. It'd be great. When 102 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: do male carriers get to retire, well, I mean they're 103 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: twenty years or I don't know. My letter carrier is 104 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: a little older, so I'm not sure what they do. 105 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: But I know cops, so I think by the time 106 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: you're forty five year out. Yeah, for most departments, it's 107 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: twenty years an now. Yeah, hey, Elvis is here. See 108 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: I told you this would happen to us. I felt 109 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: really awkward sitting in this chair, like here we're talking 110 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: about regrets. I had a few, that's what we're talking about. Regrets. Well, 111 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, we were talking about Danielle and the thought 112 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: that if she had gone into Broadway, she wouldn't have 113 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: done but she wouldn't have changed the thing right in 114 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: her life. What regret is such a waste of time 115 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: is it's not regret like what could you have done 116 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: in your life? I wouldn't exactly call it regrets, but 117 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: but Scary and Scotty both are doing exactly what they 118 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: wanted to do from a very young Mitzvah had like 119 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: a like a radio station theme. Yeah, every he's such 120 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: a good he invited Jim Kurt wispar mitts. Yeah, I'm 121 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: the same way. This this is what I wanted to 122 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: do when I was You never wanted to do Broadway, Like, no, 123 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: this is the only thing I've ever wanted to do, right, 124 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: what about you? I mean, I definitely love doing this, 125 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: This is amazing. But what would you be doing and 126 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: do you regret not doing it? I don't think. I 127 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: don't know what else I would be doing. I always 128 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: just used to want to have fun for a living, 129 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: and that's what we get to do every day with 130 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: a really group, great, great group of people. So I 131 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: don't really have a regret. I mean, maybe I would 132 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: have made every mistake that I've made in my life sooner, 133 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: so then you learn faster and you can get onto 134 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: the good stuff faster. But aside from that, I mean, 135 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: you can't do that though, and it all leads you 136 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: to the place you are. You never know where your 137 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: life's going to go. Like when I was eighteen, I 138 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: applied for the sanitation department of the town of Oyster 139 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: Bay and they didn't hire me. So now I'm in radio, 140 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: which is funny because you get grossed out by the 141 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: things that like are on the counter for you picking 142 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: up trash. I don't see you picking up trash at all, 143 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: because you're retired now. You would be retired if i'd 144 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: a third day at work, but I'd be retired that 145 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: we're pathetic, Scotty. You wanted to be a copper or firefighter. 146 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: Can we all just imagine that for a moment. Me, Yeah, 147 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: pulling up on a scene with a gashed head. Oh 148 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: my god, back up. He would run away from every 149 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: scary situation. Can someone else get the bad guy? Please? 150 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: That is you want cracker right there? Absolutely, you are 151 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: the ultimate cracker? Is this what you've always wanted to do? Entertainment? 152 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: I grew up playing on the set of Regis Thing 153 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: Kelly Kathy Lee because my mom worked at ABC. So 154 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: at the age of five, like after the morning show 155 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: would be done, I would go downstairs and host my 156 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: own talk show on this on that set up until 157 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: like the age of fifteen, and then I went to 158 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: a bowling alley and I met Elvis well Country. He 159 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: was very young. Yeah, this kid come here to me 160 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: and said, Hey, I'm going to be an intern in 161 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: your show. I said, well, how old are you? He said, 162 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm in school high school. Well, you gotta get in 163 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: touch with this when you're a little older. So I 164 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: waited a year until I got into college, and then 165 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: I called him and then here he comes.
