Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your head us together and we're going to start
to party and start party.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm ready to party the Elvis Duran after Party. It's
the after party. It's podcast. Oh roomful, we are we
supposed to go whoo if you want no, you know,
you don't have to go crazy. We do have a
(00:26):
nice little room here. We've got Danielle and Gandhi and
Scuttie and there's a straight and eight and uh, you know,
Scotty Bee sometimes rolls through and says something. So I
don't know if you remember we had that conversation about
people who live have listened to us for the fifteen
to twenty years. We're wondering, well, has anyone new And
then we put the call out there and we had
lots of text and calls from people who have just
(00:47):
started listening to our show. Thank god, we've got new meat,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Meat.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
So let's roll back into that. Let's talk to Nicole
from Cincinnati. She's been listening for about a year and
a half. A year and a half with us. Nicole's
that's a long time in dog years.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
That's a very long time in dog years. And I
made it through the six months pump and I'm still here.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Because we always say it takes six months and then
we'll run you away or you'll stay. So you stayed
and we appreciate that. So Nicole loves our show. She
wants to get some answers.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Though you have questions, Well, I do have questions.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I have a very important question. I have a very
important question that I think a lot of us movies
need to know, and that is where does Hella Lady
come from?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Ah, I'm glad you asked that, because we have to
stop assuming people have been listening for years and years
and know what hello Lady means. So we've got to
remind everyone from time to time, and thanks to Nicole,
we're gonna do it. So we used to have a
friend of ours. His name was Uncle Johnny. He is
no one's uncle, but he's everyone's uncle. You know the
type of uncle I'm talking about, right? Oh yeah, Ok, Yeah,
(02:04):
He's an old Well, he was an old, old friend
and he worked in the gay bars in New York
City for years and years since nineteen sixties. He's met
almost every celebrity that has come and gone over the
last fifteen thousand decades and he's just a storied guy.
How else do we explain Uncle Johnny who wants to
tackle that. He's like living history. Yeah, well, he was
(02:27):
like living.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
History and like a human muppet.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
He was kind of character but almost like a forest
gump in that he got to experience life to the fullest.
Oh yeah, but with doubt and obviously you're catching all
that he's no longer with us alive. Anyway, he would
come in and make drinks for us and he would
screw it up and he would turn on the blender
and shoot cocktails at the ceiling. And it was just
(02:52):
he was thirty fingers in the blender. That was taking
thirty fingers in the blending. He was just a fun guy.
We loved Uncle Johnny, and my husband and Alex and I.
We would travel the world with him and he would
stay with us and we just had a lot of
fun with Uncle Johnny. Well, he used to say, Holli lady.
Anytime someone would try to cut us off in traffic.
He would scream at the driver in front of us, halilady,
Or if anyone said something rude, he'd go, hello, lady.
(03:14):
He just became part of our vernacular.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I mean we use hello lady.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Every time really for the show. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, so we still say hello lady. We still have
recordings of him on our show saying Hello lady. Uncle
Johnny passed away. God when was that?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
That's maybe a third of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Last year this year. He was our good friend. But
he lives on. He lives on, Hello lady. So there
you go. That's Hello lady. I wish you would have
known him.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I love it. Yeah, Kott, I did get to hear
some clippings and a lot of talk of Uncle Johnny,
so I kind of thought it had something to do
with him, but wasn't too certain. So thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, you know, and again I'm glad that you brought
this up because we need to be better re explaining
and reintroducing who he is. Even though he's no longer
with us, he really truly never leaves. That's just uncle Johnny.
All right? So what else you want to know?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Okay? Another question I have is I know that the
show has its twenty or I think it's twenty ninth
birthday coming up.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Wow, I didn't even know that.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
So who all has been there for the long haul?
Or when did folks start coming in.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Wow, okay, it's a long history. So I was hosting
the morning show, co hosting the Morning Show twenty nine
years ago when we started it, and Danielle was were
you in turn know you were working here?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Now I was working?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, yeah, I was working. And then in Scotty b
who works in master control, he was here working at
our station. And Scary was here too, in answering phones
things like that. And for some reason they're still here.
You're not going to shake us out as sorry, they
never left. And let's see, well, who came on next.
(05:06):
What's the chronological order of arrival.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
At this point? Then it was Froggy.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, Froggy right, who works in Florida. And you're wondering
how that works. Yeah, he's in Jacksonville. You know, he
used to work at Y one hundred in Miami where
we took over the morning show. Then he moved to
Jacksonville and now we're on there. But he's always just
been a part of the part of the family. We
we just don't want him to ever leave us, or
maybe he's contractually bound to show. Okay Froggy, and then
(05:36):
you have Garrett and Sam right, and then Coast boy.
Josh came in Josh and then Nate. Nate was before Josh.
Who came first, Josh, Nate, Josh, Josh. That was two
thousand and seven. He came from Cleveland, and then Sam.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Andrew and then Me.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I think, yeah, right, Andrew used to be my assistant,
but he couldn't mastered that, so we promoted him. We
promoted him. That's a good way to treat somebody who
can't do their first job. And then and then and
then Diamond, Yeah, and Deanna and I mean, we have
a lot of people working here. So that's it all
(06:17):
started with Danielle, Scary, Scotty and me twenty nine years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Hmmmm. And and now you were also wondering about Froggy
working from Florida. He also now is the afternoon guy
and program director of our sister station, which is a
country station in Jacksonville. So he continues to be a
part of our show. I don't know where he is now.
He just ran out of the room. He should be
here anyway sometimes a part of our show. Any other
(06:46):
questions you're asking great questions, Yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I don't think not nothing. I can think of anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, I have one. I think oh wow, okay, okay, so.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
The whole the thing you guys do or we do,
because I've just started doing it like some sort of
you know, cult member, the Piscataway thing?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Which way is piscat Scataway? Is that a way?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Was that just like, oh it rhymes I'm just gonna
do it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No, that's an old New York phrase. It because I
want it that way from the Backstreet Boys. Yeah, that's
how it was a parody song.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
It was Piscataway Is that a way?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's where that came. But actually, Piscataway Is that a way?
Is an old old phrase. It's It's been around much
longer than the Backstreet Boys, hasn't it. Yes, I heard
that when I was a kid, like like Vaudeville slapstick,
people would say, Scottaway is that a way? And Piscataway
is in New Jersey, Nicolleges.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
In case you were wondering where it was, I wonder you.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And then the other question I have is the the
John Denver. Thank God I'm a country boy because Gandhi,
I mean, I love that song. I've always loved the song,
But where did that come from? You just start playing
it and everybody sings along. Everybody feels so good.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I like, we just started playing songs and then we
just kind of kept playing them. That's what. It's just
some song that we wouldn't play it otherwise. You won't
hear that anywhere else. It's an exclusive. I feel like
in the beginning of the show, we used to always
start with something really outrageous and out of the field,
so that song was in rotation. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I had not heard that until I came here and
then everyone was singing along and I thought.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I am an alien.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Wow. Yeah, We've got a lot of weird stuff going
on here. Some of it can be explained, some of
it not. So there you go. So that's it. That's
all there is.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh can I ask her one question? Oh sure, Okay,
as a new listener, what's your favorite part?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
What do you like that we're doing that we could
do more for you? Oh? I just love the banter.
It's my favorite. I get I'm like, they're putting a
song on no go back, keep talking.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Banter? Like what are we bantering about? Just we really
don't land on a lot of solid things. We just
kind of move around quickly, right.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, we do.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
There's a lot of bubble.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, you're well parts yea about going off on tangents
when I mean we're like squirrel and then we're on
to the next thing. I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
There you go, listen. I'm glad you called in a
good reminder that you know, we were getting new listeners
all the time, and if we have these old inside
jokes where they seem like inside jokes, we need to
make sure everyone knows what they mean. So we got
a lot of work ahead of us. Thanks to you, Nicole.
I appreciate it very much.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Oh no, thank you guys. You guys are the best.
I loved you so much. Even though I'm new, you
make my days.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
