Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guess what we gave the in terms of podcast Wait
we did?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
What?
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Whose idea was this?
Speaker 4 (00:06):
The Duran Clan?
Speaker 5 (00:09):
I'm Ben, I'm Dylan, and where the Durand.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Clan or half of it? We're missing two members, but
you'd never know because we have two joining us.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yes, I have I'm Celia.
Speaker 6 (00:27):
I'm producer Sam.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yes, everyone knows producer Sam as producer Sam.
Speaker 7 (00:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
I don't know how that one got away from me.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Yeah. It's like coaster boy Josh, and everyone has weird
names and I actually really don't know any of the
origins of those.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I know Josh is mine is so not creative clearly. Yeah,
we're just describing things now, Josh.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
Yes, coaster boy Josh, which a lot of people think
was about like what sits under your drink?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yeah, like a coaster instead of like coasting roller coasters.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, oh no.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
It's about roller coasters.
Speaker 7 (01:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Oh, I was like a wave like maybe he serves like.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
A surfer guy.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
He's got that vibe.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I could totally see Josh being a surfer boy, right,
like California living.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
He did surf for a little while. Really he had
bonded over that.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
He's lived like a trillion lines that I really don't
know about.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
Is yeah, no, he's It's fun to crack.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
That, but it's hard. It's hard to crack him. It's
very difficult.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
I lived with him for like four years.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I forget about that me too.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
He yeah so much. Roommates how fun?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
And Andrew and Andrew.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm disappointed he's not in today because he said over
the weekend he was going to learn how to do
a death drop and was going to.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Show us, oh, like a.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Death drop, the move, the move.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
I would have loved that he was going to.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Blow up his air mattress and practice.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
He would have literally died. That big tree fall hard.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I was going to say, a tree, the tree is
literally going to tumble. Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
So one of my favorite things about being his roommate
was that he was just as ice related as you
would assume he would be.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And then every once in a while, because I would
always have my bedroom door open, I'd he's like sitting
on my bed and I would just hear his door
swing open, and I'd hear the guitar and he would
just like walk through.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
It's only happened three or four times in the course
of like years, but still it's Tuck with me.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
He'd be like walking through the hallways with a weird hat,
a blanket, like a cape, playing something and just make
eye contact and then go back into his room for
six days.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
And I feel like, as since I like sit in
a lot with Ben Dylan and the rest of the interns, like,
I feel like you'll have the most questions about him,
like from what I've seen, because I feel like he
gives so little. You know that you have only so
much to use your imagination where there's.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Less to wonder about everyone else. Yes, I feel like
everyone else is so outwardly expressive. Yes, yeah, so yeah, yeah,
but love a mystery.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, I know, right. And I feel like the fact
that he keeps the lights off.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
In his studio what he does, yes, usually.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
It enhances the mystery.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
He just likes a dimlt he's a baby.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Like if if you ever see the light on through
Josh's studio, you know he's not there crying. Yeah, Like
that's how you know today, Like he's not here because
Diamond is in there and the lights are all the
way one.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Interesting yea, yeah, I'm just glad I actually learned that
Josh who he was finally, because there was a big
part of my time here where I didn't realize that
his name was Josh, because I assume that Josh that
we were talking about was Josh Martinez. They're so fun.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah, And and the podcast, like Leilani is is Josh's intern,
so she like speaks a lot on him and Dylan
the whole time thought that every single story like about
Rual Paul's drag race and about like him watching the
same TV shows as us and stuff, was about Josh Martinez.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
You know what, surface value makes more sense?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I was gonna say that, right.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I think it absolutely is.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
It makes more sense.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I feel like he's so like like macho man, you know,
Josh Martinez.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Yeah, but like he like he's like macho man in
like the w w WE kind of way.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah, exactly, the wrestling right there with the hint of whimsy, Yeah,
I guess. And he's a really good like girl dad,
so I feel like he kind of maybe would get like.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
My favorite men are very in touch with their feminine
side too, that both of the josh is for different.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
So then who's your favorite Josh?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I'll say this, both of them do have the wrestling
thing at least, so they do both of kids. I've
heard the other Josh bring up like stuff that I know,
and I'll go, oh, okay, Joshny Yes, he was talking
when he was talking about blowing out the bed or
the air mattress, I should say he was talking about.
He's like, yeah, have you seen like a wrestling move
like a hiptos? And he literally turned he goes, I
know you know what I'm talking about, And I'm like, okay,
is that one? Browning points. Honestly, it probably have to
(04:46):
be Martinez only because he did love me. Sitting on
a wrestling podcast saving with.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Them, I have like a bond.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I feel like the two times we met at least, yeah,
the second time he forgot my name at least.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
But that's that is Josh Martinez. He still calls me
Cecilia Celia yeah, any but he does it on purpose,
on purpose to make me mad, because everybody does that
to me, and it makes me really upset because if
you look at my name on paper, it does not
look like it's Cecilia.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, like, where where are you getting Cecilia? Yeah? Because
it's like the cec or I guess some people spell
it c I C or ce c I Cecilia, like Cilia,
like that stuff in your body.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Oh okay, you know Celia a little bit, and.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You're like, pancreas, no idea what you're talking about? Anyways,
I only know that because I'm a hypochondriac and agree. Yeah,
but what wow, I just got an evil look.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's funny.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Anyways, we're here, Sam and I are here nichely because
we well more recently. I was an intern here and
Sam sorry, I was an intern and now she's producer Sam,
And now I am Celia Celia ce Cilia, and I'm
just around and I work too.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So give us, give us the scoop, give us the history.
When did you intern? What did you do?
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Then?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
How are you here?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Now? Okay, so I can't answer that last one, pade
no idea.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
But I okay. So I interned.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I was at Rutgers and I transferred from Montclair. So
as soon as I got in, I didn't think I
wanted to join the radio.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
At Rutgers. I still felt like too new.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I don't know if it was like transfer student imposter
syndrome or what, but I was like, I don't want
to impede on that world, and I googled internships for
the Morning Show because I wanted to get into journalism media.
But then I took some media criticism courses, thinking like, oh,
let's know a well rounded let's have a well rounded
awareness of the industry I want to get into.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Took me out at the knees.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Everything is a lie, I trust no one I took
like those classes were like so specific and gave me
such like boogeyman stories about working in media that I
was like, well, now I'm done. I guess I'm absolutely
out of work forever. But I loved listening to the
Morning Show, and especially growing up, I hated Top forty music,
(07:23):
but I would.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Still listen all the time. So I was like, listen,
if I've got a palette cleanse anywhere, let me go
and enjoy myself while I find my footing. So I applied.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Don't really know how they let me be an intern
because I had nothing under my belt at that point,
but we just vibed really well. And I think saying
I hated Top forty in the cover letter made me
seem way ballsier than I am, so they like invited
me in because they were curious, So that was an
accidental that worked out for me, and then I just
(07:53):
kind of fell in love with it.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
I never left.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
When I was an intern. Instead of the format it
is now, there were just five interns, two a day,
and you did everything, but like video didn't really have
an intern Social was not even a department. Yeah, there
was just you were kind of like phone op and
(08:16):
then helping with production.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
That was really it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
So I think I was a mixture of lucky that
that was the format and really curious. So I would
show up early and I would learn from worst assistant, Anthony,
who was Deanna. He did video at the time, and
I'd learned from him, and then I would stay late
and I would learn from someone we lovingly referred to
(08:40):
as bald free Grannie, who taught me pro tools. And
then after two semesters of that, Ronnie asked me to
be his intern.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
And then.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
One of the co hosts left the show. So right
when I was gonna have to leave.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
They needed someone to out.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Carolina Bermudez from all of the best of material because
she was leaving in a matter of weeks and we
need her gone in that case, you know, she couldn't
be a part of the show anymore.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
So I was hired part time, and then I was
promoted to this job when my predecessor, Lauren went elsewhere.
It's basically been it.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yes, it's like.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
It was a mixture of luck and work.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Like I thought it was fun to learn from other
departments at the time, it wasn't exactly because I was like,
this is what's going to set me apart, but it's
also what set me apart. Like Carlrina went on vacation
once and I was an intern and they asked me
to come in and be the phone up to cover her.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
And then same thing.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
With brald Free Grannie had to stay home for a
while and I would come in and I would do
all the productions. So to me, it was just really
cool to get to do that and fun. But I
felt like unknowingly I was being tested.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It worked.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I fear that my story is actually the complete opposite.
I had, like, not exactly luck, but I like forced
myself on everyone here.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Babe.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yeah. So I have like no connection to Elvis Duran
in the Morning Show. I had never heard of it
in my whole entire life because I'm from the South.
So they didn't. I don't think you'll reach Louisiana. So
like we didn't listen to that. We had our own
like iHeart and local station. But I was just like
looking for any job ever that like had to do
(10:26):
with like the entertainment specifically more the music industry. But
I didn't, like I hadn't really thought about radio. I
just just I applied to everything. I think I applied
to like two hundred and seventy three jobs or something
like that. Yeah, I was going nuts, so because I
was abroad and I had two hour classes twice a day,
and we don't learn anything. So I was just like
(10:48):
applying to internships left and right, making new cover letters,
new resumes like all that stuff. I got like pretty
good amount of interviews, i'd say. But once I had
my interview, it was with Diamond and Andrew and me,
and something just like in my head was like you
have to do this, Like we talked about Bravo and
(11:10):
then I told him the story of how I got
sent to the psych ward at the Harry Styles concert
and was held there against my will.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'm sorry, sorry.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
That hair Styles concert has a psyche ward.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Oh no, I got ejected from the Harry Styles concert
and put in a gurney and sent to the psych
ward from there.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Unfortunately, this still doesn't make more sense, but at.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Some point, Yeah, so that story actually like clicked and
got me my internship because they asked me, like, can
you tell crazy stories? Bitch? Do I have crazy stories? Okay?
So I said, lock in Here's the best one ever.
I told that, and they were both like crying, laughing,
and then I got a call that I got the internship,
but I had to up and move from New Orleans too,
(11:54):
because it was like the summer of my junior year
going into senior year. So then I got here worked
out really well. I had like a room with one
of my best friends who was also interning. I ended
up loving in here so much that I was like, listen,
you ain't getting rid of me. So I stayed till
like September. Like I interned from June ninth to September ninth.
(12:20):
So that was like excessively long for what is supposed
to be a semester, I guess, but I just like
had so much fun and I was like, please keep
me around. And then I came back for jingle Ball.
Literally flew from Wisconsin to work for free, and I
was like please, I like, I want to be here.
I will do anything to say. And then I just
(12:40):
never stopped thinking about it. And I didn't really lose
touch with like Andrew or Diamond or like any of
the people who I made friends with. So I reached
out to Andrew in like April of before I graduated,
and I was just like, listen, please take me back,
like I will do anything. I don't care, like I will,
I'll be an intern again.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Get objected from another Harry Styles concert.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I will, I will go through that again and come
up with a new story like I don't care, but
please just let me back. And so he like, thank
god for Andrew made something work out for me and
like basically created an internship for me that he like
really needed help with. And I'm glad that I could
help him, because Lord, when I got here, I realized
he was doing all that on his own. That's not healthy.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
I don't think we covered it here so far. You
do the podcast?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Oh yes, I do.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
So that's like, as any listener who's been around for
a long time knows that that's a much newer, beefed
up branch of the show.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah for sure, Yeah, yeah for sure. And I do
also like get to help a lot with the show,
which I really like, Like I kind of like being
able to like know everyone and like do both because
like it crosses over a lot. I know, like a
lot of the interns sometimes get confused about like what
I do because I'm not like on the show, I guess,
or like when they do like the posts and stuff,
(13:58):
like I'm not like included in that, but I'm like
in my own section of like myself. But it has
its benefits and I love it. I just love everyone here.
So that's how I ended up here. And then I
got hired full time sorry randomly like from my internship.
It was like, okay, so you're staying right, and I
was like, so I'm saying right, this is mutual. We
(14:20):
see each other.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
At least they were nice about it. They fake fire.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
The person who hired me walked in.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
They were at least nice to you. That sounds like
for your transition.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They called me to fire me, and into the conversation,
We're like, I'm just kidding, do you want a.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Job gas lighting? Terrible?
Speaker 7 (14:49):
I think this works, am I on?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
It's working?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Hi everybody, and we have a fifth Yeah. Wow, Hi Andrew.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
What's the topic, Sam, I were just talking about how
we got hired.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yeah, Sam and I got hired within a couple months
of each other.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yeah, it was really who was first even days day? Okay?
Speaker 7 (15:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Wait, did y'all know that they lived together too?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Oh yeah, briefly mentioned it slightly before Josh and Andrew.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Or was it the three of y'all?
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I lived with Josh for a while and.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Andrew and rooms.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
So our rooms door, which we did not utilize ever
for shenanigans. Ever, our rooms had a door. Yes, that's
a yeah. I don't know why it used to work
out when I lived with where his assistant Anthony, because
he'd oversleep a lot. So I'm getting ready and when
it was quiet, like I just got to a level
(15:48):
of comfort where it would just be me, like the
swing the door open, Wake up?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Where are you?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Wake up?
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Sleepy bitch?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Wake up bitch.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
He used to rely on me.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It started happening, and I guess he was so used
to it that he stopped setting an alarm and just
wait for me to come in.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Oh wait, I have a question, So how did y'all
end up living together? Like how do you talk about that? Like, like,
do y'all met through work?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And then yeah, So when I came here, I lived
in Harlem and then it was with a couple of
my best friends from high school. And one was such
a slob that I had to leave where. I'm like, where,
we're done being friends if I.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Have to stay here. So I left.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I went back home and then Where's assistant Anthony knew
I was looking for a place.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
And he tricked me into coming to check it out.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I didn't know it was with him and his two
other guy friends at the time, one Josh being one
of them.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Oh, He's like, there's a sublet. You got to come
check it out. You're gonna love Jersey City. And I
show up, he like swings the door open.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
He's like hey, like shit, I'm out, I'm out. No,
But it was it was great. It worked out really well.
And then when my sublet was over, one of the
roommates were moving out permanently, so I was there for
a few years.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
The cheapest rent. It's just so nice. I regret every day.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I didn't save money there, forget it, but we did.
It was six hundred fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Okay, how well we think he did illegal stuff?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Yeah, because you can't maintain that.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
That's just that's not even Yeah, that's not It had.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
A washing machine downstairs, it had a dishwasher. It was
just like everything was so perfect.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Dames.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I fear that y'all are part of a very illegal scheme,
which is fine.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Just tell me nothing.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yeah, I don't want to know it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
But there was black mold, not when I I left,
pre black mold era.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I'm ninety sure the mold was still there pre awareness dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
There could be a couple of things wrong.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
And I agree, but I could have a.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Rat room problem.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I would have a rat roommate for that.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
I will say.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I never saw a bug in that apartment. No, not once,
and it should have had bugs.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yes, so it was dirty. It just says then I
moved out, Babe.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Reason I moved out?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Do you imagine it was a transient apartment because people
would just like come in, leave and the new people
would move in, but they'd leave stuff, so like the
pots the pants would come from, like all different roommates
who stayed there at certain times. So you never really
had one group that ever stayed fully.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
So you lived in that apartment too, You didn't come
in when Anthony left? Yes, I took his room, okay,
so there was no overlap, gotcha? Okay sometimes the time.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Because I lived next door and I was with another girl, Jax,
who interned here too coincidentally and got a job here,
and then we.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
Fell in with that guy from Germany Sweden, don't Yes, yeah,
one of those like you would think they've worked here
for like two hundred years.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
The book is very bad. Apartment.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
I moved so much.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
This is like the first time I've ever been in
an apartment for longer than two years. And it's so
nice to just be like home and not have to worry.
And I live by myself and I love living by myself.
It's like the best feeling in the world. But but yeah,
that apartment was grimy, to say the lie.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
What are y'all's living situations right now?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I moved into my apartment in August where I live
in because I go to school in Fidey, so I
was in the dorms the first two years and then
we were kind of like all over the place with
sub letters for a long time because we signed release
in May. Both myself and my roommate went home for
(19:29):
the summer, so we need to find two sub letters.
She went abroad for the semester and needed another one,
and now we're both there.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Okay, interesting, I'll say, I'm I'm still just all the
dorm living. I've done four years straight of dorm living.
I've had one roommate since I was freshman. As the
years have gone on, he's progressively gotten dirtier. I love
my roommate, Mike, but he he leaves stuff all over
(19:56):
the place. Like I just cleaned up the dorm this
past weekend because I was I just needed to get
everything clean. Comes back, I already was coming to get
ready in the morning. Next thing you know, I see
a shoes are out, and then before he sometimes it's
closed in the bathroom. I'm like, okay, man, this is bad.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
This is like your stereotypical wife business.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Yeah yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
He is my loving man's but at the same time,
same time it is. It's a lot. But we we
stole another one of our friends to make him move
of us, and my original roommate moved out at this
past semester because he graduated, so I have my own
like little two person like dorm room to myself.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, that you are, oh mane legacy ship exactly.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
That's like epic.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
But to your guys' point, though, we did find mold
in our shower like about maybe a semester or to
Ago haf Street University's.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
We're in the shower top of.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
The ceiling like right above.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
You got, babe, you gotta clean that.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
No no, no, no, to do you reach the ceiling?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
It was already mar.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Shortest one here. You have to like just go like
put your officycle.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Do you think Michael Agelo did it?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I'm inspired?
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Thank you, Ben.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
To the hostra's point, they decided the best way of
going about clean because we did feel like a work
order and we were like, hey, this is not like good.
They decided to paint over it. That was their solution
for knealing with mold and started chipping out that was.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Super lead and mold.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Emotional damage, yeah, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
My my Airbnb lost summer, like I've moved three times
I think last summer.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah, carbon monoxide last summer.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Oh wait sorry, two summers ago. I moved like three times.
Carbon monoxide was twenty twenty four summer, Got It twenty
twenty three summer. My Airbnb ceiling fell through on me
while I was in the shower.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
That you're the second person that I know that.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, like all that cotton candy looking ship. Super bizarre
because I was wet, you know, I was in the
shower and then like the people above me, you know
how the ceiling fell through and I was like in
the shower, Hey guys, and there's like people up there. Yeah,
you get what I'm saying. Wow, truly traumatizing. I had
(22:11):
to literally, sorry, I throw on a sweatshirt over like
the cotton candy like stuck to my.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Sorry, she's going cotton candy.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Brand. That is not good. That is not good stuff.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Well, you know what, it's been two years and we're
still alive.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Yeah, I'm sure you're fine.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
It's just like prolonged in.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
You sure before this watch has like blonde hair.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
And also, can we please talk about how I accidentally
gave my identity to chat GBT and I accidentally sent
my social security number to chat GYBT? How does how?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
How does how does I feel like that doesn't accidentally it.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Was a total accident. I sent I had to. I
sent a picture of a document that I was trying
to understand. I was like, what does this mean? Like
in dumb people terms, and I didn't realize that on
that document was my social Security number. I thought the
four the first four digits were xed out and they were.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Chat gypt like it means I own you.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Then literally a day or two days later, an article
pops up on my phone. I don't have articles pop
up on my phone, Like, I turn that off and
it says what you should be keeping from chat g
BT number one.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I mean, I feel like that's just number.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
However, yeah, I mean I deleted it and I was like, okay,
so it's gone now, But no, it's just deleted from
my conversations with chat GPT.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
The AI overlords are going to own you, like.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
You're the first.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Celia Romano will not exist any longer.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
I mean to chat GPT too, though.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Yeah, you have to say please you.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
I do all the time.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
You don't know what That's what my thought processes too,
So I say thank you every time.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
You know what, take me away. It's done enough for me,
like it provided me with help with schoolwork, and you're done.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
You wash your hands with this.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah, my hands are clean, My bills are paid amy, Okay,
so so.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Chat he makes some new bills for you. Yeah, use
your life bill.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
We are the antithesis of so many things because I
keep waiting to get arrested because I used to do
like extra work for TV and movies when I graduated
college and I made up a fake social Security number,
Holy job, because I was afraid. I was afraid they're
gonna steal my identity.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Okay, it's just so much war.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Do you ever think about that if you did make
up a social Security number, the doc would be somebody else's.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
No one like asked me what it was like, could
we double check?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I mean, the chances are very high that if you
pick a random string of numbers.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
That's somebody's social Security number.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Probably you know, there's a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Does it go in order of like what person? Sorry,
now this is.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
The first and the fair question.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
What it's done. Is the number retired?
Speaker 7 (25:05):
It was about to say, like, so I'm number.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, but also no that wait, would it makes sense
how many numbers is this is? No, it wouldn't make
sense because everybody has the same amount of digits in
their Social Security number.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
It's eight numbers.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Yeah, my fingers.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Yes, so that's a million. Wait, no, that's a double
million number.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's five.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Nine yeah, nine, Okay, that's funny.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
It is it's nine, it's nine. Yeah. I just counted
my hands.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Three in the beginning, two in the middle, four at
the end. Yeah, and you can reveal the last four
without getting your identity stolen, which is like confusing.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I agree, apparent why the last four?
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Then?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Also, you said you had a carmenoxide issue, as did I.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Really trauma bonded and Diana as well. Okay, great, it's
happened in Diana like four times.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Sometimes I think it's Deanna.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I mean at covids seventeen times when it was a
week old.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I feel like Diana and I are somewhere on that level,
like the weirdest, like bad things happen. Okay, I don't.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Know what was your carbon monoxide?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, now I want to know too.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Oh so in October, I want to say, me and
the subletter we were just sleeping. It was like two
in the morning. Everyone in the building was asleep, and
all of a sudden we hear every single carbon monoxide
detector on our floor going off, and it's not like
a cute beep beep beep, warning carbon monoxide. And I'm like,
(26:42):
are you kidding? And so I stayed in bed. I
was like, I don't like then they like went off.
Eventually you are not.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
An alarmist, are you?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It like depends because I always think, I'm like, it's
not that serious. Yeah, because especially the alarms went off. Eventually,
I think I got up and I opened my screen
door to like I.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Probably die, Like, let's just air it out, because like
if you open it, you have to bring your body
outside mid sum it's not sealed off.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
You're fine, it's.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Not it's not just like the air that needs to
go out, like you need to physically put yourself outside
and breathe in fresh air.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Well I didn't do that. Yeah, I just opened the
screen door. And then I think like the fire department
came and like they came into all of our like
apartments and they were like, oh, it's fine, we're not
like getting any levels. So we were like, oh weird,
and must have been a fluke. Two days later, it
happens again. It's like five in the morning, warning carbon monoxide.
(27:37):
They come again and they're like, oh, we had some levels,
but they're going down now. And then one of my
neighbors was like, oh, we went to the hospital this
morning because we got like carbon monoxide poisoning. They lived
on the floor below me. So it's like, Okay, something's fishy.
And it seems like nobody's like taking.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
That's that's that's not fishy, that's the trauma. That's what happened.
And you're like, you were in the hospital something.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Like if you guys are feeling weird, you should go
get checked out. And I'm like, something's off. I'm calling
the super who, keep in mind i've never met, and
I'm like, hey, so I'm calling about the car monoxide.
He was like yeah, I figured it. Like I'm just
a little bit like concerned, like what's going on. It's
(28:28):
death upon me, right, I'm like, it's everything okay. It's
like so basically, there's a spa beneath our building called
Spat eighty eight. I'm gonna air them out. And they
had like a pipe leak and it was leaking into
our building. That's how the story goes, and they were
like yeah, but they're fixing it. I was like like
(28:50):
da and they're like, yeah, I hope. So I was like,
you hope. This is your job to like make sure
we're safe.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Also Sue Sue SPA eighty seven eighty nine because pipe leak. Yeah, sorry, yeah,
that calls for about six milan the seed, which I would.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Have called my mother and Andrew, you know, my lawyer.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
That is because she no lawyer has anything against Michelle.
She is five feet tall and she'll eat everyone alive.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
My mom's name is Michelle really one L or two? What? El?
Speaker 7 (29:26):
Wait? Why?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Fuck off?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Are you serious? Are you French?
Speaker 6 (29:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
We really a random question to ask after asking because.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
My mom was named after a French celebrity. Her name
was Michelle one L.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
I have no idea where my moms came from.
Speaker 4 (29:44):

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Sorry, sorry, don't be sorry.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I'm glad we know.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
So basically, they fixed the pipe at SPA.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
So then I got my own harbonnoxide detector because I
was worried they were going to turn ours off something.
So I got my own plugged into the wall and
it has like a little like number reader fierce. So yeah,
this happens, it gets fixed, no worries. Months later, there's
a video on TikTok of Justin Bieber coming out of
Spy eighty eight.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Wait is it the Turkish Club?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yes, I was right there.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
No, that's not find The Turkish Club is in the
East Village.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Well I don't. I think this one's also the Turkish baths.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Yeah, it's nuts.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
It's like an But there's also one like under my
building that Justin Bieber went to, oh crazy, like recently. Yeah,
And I was like, wait that literally gat my building carbonoxide?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yeah, mine mine. Also, they didn't care about my my poisoning.
But I did go to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh okay, I didn't go to hospital pisoning.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Yeah, no one cared and I was all alone.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
The landlord with the black mold said the same thing
I showed, like I paid for an independent report me too,
And I said, hey, this is black mold. And the
guy was like, it is not black mold. I'm like
I for it, so it is black mole. Like, I'm
not trying to goof you.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
You're trying to kill me.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Literally, I got I had to call three one one,
you know, like three one one.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
No, it's like the non emergency hotline and.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
You call for carbon monoxide.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, so it's like it's a big deal but like
not really but like but.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Like we don't need you to like we don't need
like guns and shit or like sirens, like we're good. Yeah,
do not canna come.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Take your time, but when you're available.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Yeah, but no, I didn't. I was not a fear.
I did not act like that. I was like, like,
they're wrong line like screaming. She was okay, let me
transfer you to the fire and amart Man High School
and I was like, no, hello, like I am about
to die like I have. I'm standing outside, I feel
like I'm aout to faint. I'm about to throw off.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Why aren't you calling nine one one?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Because I was like, I don't know, because they couldn't
do anything get an ambulance.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
More than from the one of the two that doesn't
offer that.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I looked it up on con Edison. They said a
call three want one because it's not an emergency.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I feel like it's not an emergency until you're standing
outside about to throw up and pass out from carbon monoxide.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yeah, but my building when listened to me, they sent
conned and then they like they did the tester. I
followed the man everywhere and said, you need to test
it everywhere.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Why did they send con ed and not like the
fire department?
Speaker 4 (32:19):
And that is my question as well.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
And the gug on mind was that the fire department
was going to like sue the building or something because
they kept on having to come for no reason. Really,
Like that was the whole gag, was that the fire
department was fed up because they just kept on coming
at five in the morning because carbonoxy like you know
what I mean, They weren't fixiation. Yeah, and itways continual.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Wow, Jesus, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Mine, they were just disrespectful as hell, like truly just
did not give a flying fuck about the fact that
I could not sleep at night because my my carbon
monoxide alarm. Like I also bought my own after the
thing because I was freaking the hell out. Turns out
I actually didn't know how that thing worked, so I
thought that every time the light was on there, I
was like, oh, babe, yeah, but actually the light is
(32:59):
supposed to stay on all the time.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
That's why you need to get one with a little screen.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Okay, I actually think I might ask you for the
link I bought a.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Travel talking with that after that poor kid last week
or two weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, what happened to the hotel?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
We didn't make it from carbon your hotel? No, no, no,
the white loaded No, I'm sorry. I make jokes when
I'm uncomfortable and sad about things.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
It's a really white loaded mechanism. No, That's what I'm saying.
Was the unhealthy coping mechanism happen? Baseball player's hell and
that poor kid? Yeah, literally your faces totally. This kid's
on vacation. Yeah, uh huh okay again, and they get
the stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
And he thought it was food poisoning or he was
allergic to something, and then they found out it was
carbon MONOXI.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Was like fifteen fourteen something like that child, like the
whole family got sick apparently, but he was like the
one that passed away. And like they said, they oh,
everyone had something bad, but like they were like, oh,
but we had this and it wasn't say then literally
they did the tacology report.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Everyone else in the I meant in the wall next
to him or something like that, like something that was
close to their room.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Was the source.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
But with everything you guys are saying, and with that
story just happening, never try bring your own carbon dioxide
detection everywhere, with your own go everyone listening, check it
right now.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
But I don't order another one.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Kidding me.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I feel like, do fire alarms double as them?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Most of them? Some of them do, but most of
them new ones do. I found I found out mine
was carbon monoxide actually because my fire alarm was broken.
My smoke alarm was broken in my apartment, and I
was like, for some reason I noticed that it was broken.
I never would have. Like it wasn't beeping, like, it
wasn't like a battery low, it was actually broken. And
so I like got on a chair and I was
(34:47):
like shut up, like and then and then I switched
the batteries just to see if that would fix something.
And then it turned on. It was carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide like screaming at me. And so that was when
I called the landlord and I was like yo.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Like yeah, what And some of them don't tell you
the difference.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yeah, So I didn't trust that thing after and I
never will.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Yeah, but I'm gonna need that link after.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
I'll put it. We'll put it in the description for
the episode everybody else sponsor, but it should be everybody
use use code ben twenty twenty percent off your common
carment on my text in the bio Ltka, I shot
my it's it's lengthd.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
In my Amazon storefront under essentials.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
It's actually really sick how many platforms there are to
buy so that other people buy. Yes, sorry, but it
is kind of fierce. It is like the amount of
money that they make from it makes me genuinely sick
to my stomach.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
No, but I kind of love it because I think
of it as it's not the big company. Like if
I'm buying a sweater for let's say there's a sweater
I want and it's fifty dollars, and I'm buying it
from lay generic brand for fifty dollars, or I buy
it from the link also for fifty dollars. That this
person that was wearing it got it from this store
(36:00):
does not make all the money.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
Now, now that person makes a little bit, And in fairness,
that's how I saw it. I don't mind it's fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Yaf my nose.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It's the same amount if there was a premium it
is now fifty three dollars.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
That would piss me right right the fuck off.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
I think I'm just anti NYC influencers, and so I
like the ones, but in the LA ones though, I
just I don't think I fear that I don't like
any of them. I've been really obsessing over Wait, this
is gonna sound really bad. I've been really liking there's
like a new new resurgence of like Charlie Amilio's. But
they're like young, like fourteen, and I think that they're
(36:34):
really entertaining.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
I have been following all of their trips and everything,
and they're like all dating and stuff. But they're fourteen,
So I follow the lore and I love it. They
all vlog and stuff. They just went to Florida with
their parents. Yeah, like literally, like their moms are in
the vlogs and they're like, okay, bye, guys, like see
(36:58):
you in two days.
Speaker 6 (36:59):
And I'm like, oh, no.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Hold up, a fourteen year old is going on a
trip by themselves.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
With their boyfriends.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Oh yeah, they are definitely over eighteen and you were
being sold something.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
I'll show you a picture and they are not over eighteen,
because that is terrible and probably illegal.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Like where in Florida.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Oh, it's like actually right where world? Noamily, it's like
seaside like destined area. Okay, just leaving like where all
the Southerners go.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
But like, you can't do anything at fourteen, but they do.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
One of them as a fourteen year old dating a
seventeen year old, and that's illegal.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
That's grooming.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
It's illegal.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
I'm about to start making jokes because I'm unhappy again.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Yeah, that's where I lie. Raise your hand, I for
you scared.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Charlie Amilio, has anybody seen Andrelia?
Speaker 6 (37:49):
Yes, I didn't know she was in it.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I haven't seen it. I really wanted and then I'm like,
she's not.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Really hurting it. She got hit by a stage light.
Speaker 7 (37:59):
What are you?
Speaker 4 (38:01):
But that was like two months ago. You'll ever watch Victorious,
y'all a little so no? Yeah, okay, remember when the
episode where they're trying to make up like how Trina
Vega got in and they make up that story of
how a stage light flew and hit her.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Was like, that's not what happened to Charlie, but.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Kind of almost hit her in the head and she
ended up in the hospital. Every single every single story
that I've heard deserves suing. Yeah, this is all this
is fair.
Speaker 6 (38:35):
It's death there, like.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Yeah, finned out, she's she's okay.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Now. I just saw Cabaret. It was really good. An
orble text just started off.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
What is that play about?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
So it's in the title Cabaret, but it's.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
It's like a German like club, right, the cat Club.
And this guy who's like a writer from America comes
to Germany and he stays at this like little like
motel near the Kitcot Club, and he goes and kind
of like, how's this thing with the main queen of
the Kitcot Club. It's kind of like a sex club.
(39:13):
They're all kind of like hookers. Oh okay, it's like
wink hookers, but it's like tea.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah, are they like escorts?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Kind of yes, Like it's like low key.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
It is that what t means. When you just said tea,
I was confused.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Wait, what are you asking about?
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Means?
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Well, you were confirming something. You go, that's the tea
and I was just yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Like that that's what I'm understanding too.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It's like that's the tea, like the real track. So
like they work at the club, but the real tea
is other hookers, I know, like gossip tea true, like
i'd be like, the real t is their hookers.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
Okay, got it?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
And then back on track, right, and then all of
a sudden in act too, it's Nazi Germany.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
Wait, such a that's the story.
Speaker 6 (40:01):
But hearing you just say that is hilarious, all of
a sudden Germany.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
So first it's hooker club and the guys hooking up
with the KitKat queen, and then okay, here we are
Nazi Germany nineteen forty.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Kidding, that's how it feels to watch.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
This is kind of.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Like, uh huh, it's really it's really fierce.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
Is it a musical? Yes?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
And I love Orville Pack and he too started as
the MC and he was phenomenal. He was so good. Really, Yes,
it's no mask, mask, no mask t see truth, except
you put it on for like a song, no curtain call.
(40:46):
That's lame.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
I think, what happened?
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Keep the mask off you're on Broadway.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
But it's also like, now you've dropped the character you're
playing for curtain calls?
Speaker 4 (40:56):
So would I guess that does make it so? His audi,
his audi is back. His anny was playing in cabaret
and his Audi had the mask back. Yeah, with the French.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
But if you're interested, go see.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
It was really good.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
I think I might thank you. Yeah, that one got
away from.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
Me, like my whole life.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
That are you guys hipped to the theater app? The
theater app One of my friends hipped me recently. It's
called theater but what no, he hipped he hipped me
like like he yeah, he informed me. Hipped yeah, like you.
Speaker 7 (41:30):
Like put him on to you for me too from
oh you got hip to, but you just call.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
It hipped like he hipped me, meaning like he informed me.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Gotcha, he put he put them on, put me off?
Speaker 4 (41:42):
Got it?
Speaker 7 (41:42):
Sure, I've never heard that one.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
That's okay because it's like hip.
Speaker 4 (41:46):
It's like hipped that person technically.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Totally yeah yeah, but just as a verb.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Yeah, okay, okay, past that.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
This is recycling by the way, because yeah, you know
what I'm hip to.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
But like now it's been the purpose I've been on
right there.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
Okay, we're so green, Okay, keep going.
Speaker 7 (42:03):
Continue.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
So it's called theater but with no E at the end,
So t h E a t R and basically you
got notified for the shows that you put notifications on
if somebody's reselling a ticket for under a certain price
that you set it to. So so last Wednesday, I
was leaving on the podcast.
Speaker 6 (42:21):
Now We're gonna have so many competitors.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
I was leaving this building and I got a notification
and it said thirty five dollars Cabaret and I went
at two pm.
Speaker 6 (42:28):
Amazing. Oh wait, you know what?
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Donading Josh Coaster Boy, the version of Coast and Boy. Also,
we were texting about this the other week. I forgot
until this moment that he wants to see it, so I.
Speaker 7 (42:37):
Would go see it, and I go, I like today
tics too, Yeah, that's what I Usually they get points.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
The theater ticket app.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
I think I'm going to get your app.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
You should.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
But I also have only ever been to two Broadway shows.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
I would tell you that I have notice on for it.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
I haven't been to anything. So I've seen the Book
of Mormon that was last summer, and then I saw
Wicked Withdhi and Danielle in it.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
I mean, sorry, Aladdin, let me go over again.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
I missed that one. Remember Danielle was Alpha BAA. And
then I saw Aladdin with Danielle and Gandhi in it,
and that was great.
Speaker 6 (43:19):
I think I've seen I don't know if I could
count them.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
I'm jealous. If you ask him to bring me to one,
I'm like, please, can I go?
Speaker 7 (43:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (43:26):
I got invited once once and I was out of town.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Honestly, today, TICS is great because you could set it
for rush alerts where you can get forty five dollars tickets,
and I've succeeded, like they had it for a Sunset
Boulevard and I could get two tickets for forty five
bucks each in like the orchestra.
Speaker 6 (43:43):
Oh wow, you should have done that.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
I lie, I lie. I went to Chicago Ariano maddox
Is last night and I met her and I cried,
So I did she raised me.
Speaker 5 (43:56):
I've never gone to a Broadway show any interest. I
do enjoy.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
Musicals are straight places.
Speaker 5 (44:01):
I would say I probably play for the most part
because I've gotten to like school production stuff at least.
But like I remember my grandfather brought me when I
was a kid to I forget what it was, but
it was some one of these plays. I definitely have interest.
I just always hear eight. There are certain shows that
are like impossible to get to and be like the
cause definitely, because for me, the way I always give
(44:22):
about it is I'm a big concert guy instead, so
I'll go to that a lot. But yeah, I've always
thought of wanting to go to it. It's just also,
I got a month and a half off before I
leave new campus. I should probably this.
Speaker 6 (44:37):
Solo.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
It'll be pretty you know, we get a brand deal
for bad please.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
Yes, so many I'm going to write down and we
will be reaching out.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Please do hopefully after this speaking of concerts, as anybody
going to anything fun, my.
Speaker 4 (44:51):
Summer is packed, okay, same to let me just give
you the rundown. I'm going to not an or.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
This is also triggering conversation for me after last week.
I shouldn't have even brought it up.
Speaker 4 (45:04):
I'm sorry, guys, Ben lost the Great War with Lady
Goo Goo.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
No oh, no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
I know a moment of silence about the new shows
that I get foot up. Are you any chance there
or no?
Speaker 1 (45:16):
I tried them all out.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
I have hope. I have hope that you'll find something somewhere. However,
for me, I do have Okay. Gracie Abrams with role Model,
opening the weekend with Playboy Cardi, Beyonce, Cold Play, Empire
(45:39):
of the Sun and The Flaming Lips and Still Woozy.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
I When I get really intensely excited about things, my
reflex is to flail. So when you said the Flaming Lips,
my brain looked at my Macha cup and said.
Speaker 7 (45:56):
Throw it at her.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
I'm not kidding that full thought. But I go to
so few concerts. I care for so few like people
to see live again. We know how I started this industry.
It's because I love the talk show and I'm entertained.
But as far as like going to see I'm very picky.
I've seen the Flaming Lips with food poisoning.
Speaker 6 (46:18):
We need to talk about that.
Speaker 4 (46:20):
At Forest Hills this summer, everything's fine with Still Woozy opening,
which is like my.
Speaker 6 (46:26):
Got tight I'm not kidding, Yeah, like that's what my
reflexes did.
Speaker 4 (46:31):
I wish it was a joke. Forest Hills. They're playing,
even though I don't know what's going on now with
Forest Hills since the neighbors complained.
Speaker 7 (46:37):
Oh yeah, I've wanted to go there first.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
It's so fun.
Speaker 7 (46:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
I tried to get Josh to go with me a
couple of years ago because my at the time Beyonce
couldn't and I had no one.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
To go with me. I went to Maggie Rodgers there
last summer. I went to Louis Thominson there. Last summer,
I went to a couple of things. Okay, it's very
very fun.
Speaker 7 (46:56):
Okay, thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (46:58):
And Empire the Sun is that the Brooklyn Mirage. I
don't know if y'all know, they have major bops and
at the Brooklyn Mirage in the summer.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
That is like, I don't know, you have a packed summer.
Speaker 4 (47:10):
Yeah, I can't wait. I'm going to see Coldplay in
my like football stadium from college before my friends from
college they're performing in the football stadium.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
No Badgers, Well, I'll be seeing you at the weekend
and beyond sign well maybe not the same.
Speaker 4 (47:23):
Are we going to hang out?
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Yeah, we we'll show you.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
I now, I don't know. I can tell you after
I pick fully Stack.
Speaker 7 (47:29):
But yeah, we can hang What about you?

my birthday.
Speaker 4 (47:39):
Pointed out, we'll see.
Speaker 7 (47:41):
Who else. I would like to go see Lady Gaga.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
I might go see Lana in London.
Speaker 7 (47:47):
On the fourth of July.
Speaker 3 (47:48):
I love having a fun fourth Joly plan that's not
in the States. I feel like I did that last
year when I went to Japan. I saw a baseball
game in Japan. It was fantastic. I view it was
ten out of ten vibes, so much fun. The Hiroshimas No,
it was the cult something or other.
Speaker 7 (48:07):
I don't know whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
We can talk about that after. But yeah, I'm seeing Lana.
I think they're where I would like to see a
Lady Gaga show. That would be fun.
Speaker 7 (48:19):
And there was one other person.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
Oh and then the See Here Now festival and Asbery
because they have Remy Wolf is performing there and a
couple of others.
Speaker 6 (48:26):
Years I forgot about that.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
I think I want to go to gove Ball though.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
Okay, I don't know if I love festival vibes you said,
but I don't know.
Speaker 4 (48:38):
It's a great lineup.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
I think I think it would be fun. I'd rather
I do worry that like by day two and like ie,
by mid afternoon of the second day, I'd be like
for that.
Speaker 4 (48:50):
I was like built for festivals like that. I can
so I can really rally.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
I want to do the one in Iowa that Casey
is doing one day and doing that.
Speaker 4 (48:58):
I want to go to the one, and as spin
role Model Casey.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
Role Model was the other one I wanted to see.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
Yeah, but it was role Model Casey and then I
can't remember really good people. Oh Rufe is the soul.
Speaker 7 (49:11):
I'm seeing them too. Oh you're going to the one
in July? Yeah, yeah, who are you seeing?
Speaker 5 (49:16):
I was gonna say, speaking on your festival stuff, I
would love to go see the I think it's like
when we were young tour or like festival where it's
got like every pop punk band and mash like my
Chemical Romance. Does it follow out the boy? I'm pretty
sure did a few of them. I had to look
back because I remember my dad asked me about a
couple of shows I did turn down going to see
Barnaked Ladies and Sugar Ray. Just look, that is like
(49:37):
twenty years.
Speaker 4 (49:38):
Before their Naked Ladies are really good.
Speaker 5 (49:40):
I think I've seen them once before. I think I've
seen them once. But I did tell him a while
back to get tickets because he asked me about Avril
Levine and Simple Plan and I was like, that would
be very cool. But the only other one I'm trying
to convince them for like, my my music tastes is
very rock pop punk, so it's very very different. But
I really want to go see I Prevail, which is
like become up really big band. They did a Tailor
(50:01):
Swift cover like years ago and that's how I found them,
so I was like, Okay, I want them. They've been
like one of my first wrestling events I went to.
They were the theme song of it. So I was like,
all right, there's been so much connections. I need to
see this band. I almost saw them before COVID, and
then COVID canceled. No my dad said notes to the show,
and then show we said yes to he got canceled
because of COVID.
Speaker 7 (50:19):
So there's that.
Speaker 5 (50:20):
But this is like the one summer. I don't have
a lot right now, but like every year, we usually
go to a couple of concerts and stuff, like I've
seen Papa Rochi Good a couple of times, so I
definitely want to go see some more. I just I've
seen so many people on my like Discographia bands I
want to see.
Speaker 4 (50:36):
So yeah, and the Lallapalooza lineup is the best thing
I'm ever seeing.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
I'm looking at the goball run right now, and unfortunately
this isn't as much as it's speaking to you.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
Well, no, the lallapaloo is the one I would sell
my soul to go to, but I can't go.
Speaker 5 (50:52):
So funny enough of Gotball. I'm pretty sure it was
last year of a year before. One of my roommates
had to bring his sister to it. She really wants
it goes, so it's my groom. My mom got tickets.
Its like, all right, John, you're getting You're going with them.
And literally he was had no idea any of the
music because it's nothing that he listened to, since he
only listened to like eighties rock music. And he was
just sitting there like I have no idea what to
(51:13):
do because he was like the only dude in the entire.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
Force to take someone to an event like that, Like
I've taken my sisters to concerts, but that's like.
Speaker 5 (51:20):
It's even funnier just because like being in the comm
school at my area, so many people will be talking
about gove Ball, like we've sent people there to do
like reporting and stuff with it, so like people like
would kill to be at this show, And I'm like
my roommate's just there, just has no interest, no carriers, Like, damn,
you probably could have given this telling one of them.
They would have watched your sister Good Means of Money.
Speaker 6 (51:39):
Got my best face painting there.
Speaker 7 (51:42):
It's fun.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
And then I powered down very quickly because I'm like you,
we're here for a sprint, not a marathon.
Speaker 6 (51:48):
When it's me enjoying something.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
Yeah, I completely agree.
Speaker 7 (51:53):
Well, this was a fantastic fun episode.
Speaker 6 (51:54):
I have a lot of fun A big takeaways.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
I think the big takeaways are the carbon monoxidn't want
carbon monoxide alarms.
Speaker 6 (52:01):
Yeah, the biggest.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
We need to sue a bunch of places.
Speaker 1 (52:03):
La Place needs to be sued. We need to get
some sponsors for be specifically. Yeah, share the well.
Speaker 6 (52:09):
I need to get myself to the Flaming Lips concert
for sure.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
And many of you started as interns, and there's always
a way to just stick it through.
Speaker 4 (52:20):
Sometimes you just have to force your presence.
Speaker 6 (52:24):
I'm here, weird campaign for a T shirt.
Speaker 7 (52:30):
On that note, how do you guys usually sign off

Speaker 4 (00:06):

Speaker 5 (00:09):

I'm producer Sam.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yes, everyone knows producer Sam as producer Sam.
Speaker 7 (00:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
I don't know how that one got away from me.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Yeah. It's like coaster boy Josh, and everyone has weird
names and I actually really don't know any of the
origins of those.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I know Josh is mine is so not creative clearly. Yeah,
we're just describing things now, Josh.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
Yes, coaster boy Josh, which a lot of people think
was about like what sits under your drink?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yeah, like a coaster instead of like coasting roller coasters.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, oh no.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
It's about roller coasters.
Speaker 7 (01:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Oh, I was like a wave like maybe he serves like.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
A surfer guy.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
He's got that vibe.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I could totally see Josh being a surfer boy, right,
like California living.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
He did surf for a little while. Really he had
bonded over that.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
He's lived like a trillion lines that I really don't
know about.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
Is yeah, no, he's It's fun to crack.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
That, but it's hard. It's hard to crack him. It's
very difficult.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
I lived with him for like four years.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I forget about that me too.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
He yeah so much. Roommates how fun?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
And Andrew and Andrew.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm disappointed he's not in today because he said over
the weekend he was going to learn how to do
a death drop and was going to.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Show us, oh, like a.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Death drop, the move, the move.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
I would have loved that he was going to.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Blow up his air mattress and practice.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
He would have literally died. That big tree fall hard.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I was going to say, a tree, the tree is
literally going to tumble. Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
So one of my favorite things about being his roommate
was that he was just as ice related as you
would assume he would be.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And then every once in a while, because I would
always have my bedroom door open, I'd he's like sitting
on my bed and I would just hear his door
swing open, and I'd hear the guitar and he would
just like walk through.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
It's only happened three or four times in the course
of like years, but still it's Tuck with me.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
He'd be like walking through the hallways with a weird hat,
a blanket, like a cape, playing something and just make
eye contact and then go back into his room for
six days.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
And I feel like, as since I like sit in
a lot with Ben Dylan and the rest of the interns, like,
I feel like you'll have the most questions about him,
like from what I've seen, because I feel like he
gives so little. You know that you have only so
much to use your imagination where there's.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Less to wonder about everyone else. Yes, I feel like
everyone else is so outwardly expressive. Yes, yeah, so yeah, yeah,
but love a mystery.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, I know, right. And I feel like the fact
that he keeps the lights off.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
In his studio what he does, yes, usually.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
It enhances the mystery.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
He just likes a dimlt he's a baby.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Like if if you ever see the light on through
Josh's studio, you know he's not there crying. Yeah, Like
that's how you know today, Like he's not here because
Diamond is in there and the lights are all the
way one.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Interesting yea, yeah, I'm just glad I actually learned that
Josh who he was finally, because there was a big
part of my time here where I didn't realize that
his name was Josh, because I assume that Josh that
we were talking about was Josh Martinez. They're so fun.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah, And and the podcast, like Leilani is is Josh's intern,
so she like speaks a lot on him and Dylan
the whole time thought that every single story like about
Rual Paul's drag race and about like him watching the
same TV shows as us and stuff, was about Josh Martinez.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
You know what, surface value makes more sense?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I was gonna say that, right.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I think it absolutely is.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
It makes more sense.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I feel like he's so like like macho man, you know,
Josh Martinez.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Yeah, but like he like he's like macho man in
like the w w WE kind of way.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah, exactly, the wrestling right there with the hint of whimsy, Yeah,
I guess. And he's a really good like girl dad,
so I feel like he kind of maybe would get like.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
My favorite men are very in touch with their feminine
side too, that both of the josh is for different.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
So then who's your favorite Josh?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I'll say this, both of them do have the wrestling
thing at least, so they do both of kids. I've
heard the other Josh bring up like stuff that I know,
and I'll go, oh, okay, Joshny Yes, he was talking
when he was talking about blowing out the bed or
the air mattress, I should say he was talking about.
He's like, yeah, have you seen like a wrestling move
like a hiptos? And he literally turned he goes, I
know you know what I'm talking about, And I'm like, okay,
is that one? Browning points. Honestly, it probably have to
(04:46):
be Martinez only because he did love me. Sitting on
a wrestling podcast saving with.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Them, I have like a bond.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I feel like the two times we met at least, yeah,
the second time he forgot my name at least.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
But that's that is Josh Martinez. He still calls me
Cecilia Celia yeah, any but he does it on purpose,
on purpose to make me mad, because everybody does that
to me, and it makes me really upset because if
you look at my name on paper, it does not
look like it's Cecilia.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, like, where where are you getting Cecilia? Yeah? Because
it's like the cec or I guess some people spell
it c I C or ce c I Cecilia, like Cilia,
like that stuff in your body.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Oh okay, you know Celia a little bit, and.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You're like, pancreas, no idea what you're talking about? Anyways,
I only know that because I'm a hypochondriac and agree. Yeah,
but what wow, I just got an evil look.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's funny.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Anyways, we're here, Sam and I are here nichely because
we well more recently. I was an intern here and
Sam sorry, I was an intern and now she's producer Sam,
And now I am Celia Celia ce Cilia, and I'm
just around and I work too.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So give us, give us the scoop, give us the history.
When did you intern? What did you do?
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Then?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
How are you here?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Now? Okay, so I can't answer that last one, pade
no idea.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
But I okay. So I interned.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I was at Rutgers and I transferred from Montclair. So
as soon as I got in, I didn't think I
wanted to join the radio.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
At Rutgers. I still felt like too new.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I don't know if it was like transfer student imposter
syndrome or what, but I was like, I don't want
to impede on that world, and I googled internships for
the Morning Show because I wanted to get into journalism media.
But then I took some media criticism courses, thinking like, oh,
let's know a well rounded let's have a well rounded
awareness of the industry I want to get into.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Took me out at the knees.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Everything is a lie, I trust no one I took
like those classes were like so specific and gave me
such like boogeyman stories about working in media that I
was like, well, now I'm done. I guess I'm absolutely
out of work forever. But I loved listening to the
Morning Show, and especially growing up, I hated Top forty music,
(07:23):
but I would.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Still listen all the time. So I was like, listen,
if I've got a palette cleanse anywhere, let me go
and enjoy myself while I find my footing. So I applied.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Don't really know how they let me be an intern
because I had nothing under my belt at that point,
but we just vibed really well. And I think saying
I hated Top forty in the cover letter made me
seem way ballsier than I am, so they like invited
me in because they were curious, So that was an
accidental that worked out for me, and then I just
(07:53):
kind of fell in love with it.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
I never left.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
When I was an intern. Instead of the format it
is now, there were just five interns, two a day,
and you did everything, but like video didn't really have
an intern Social was not even a department. Yeah, there
was just you were kind of like phone op and
(08:16):
then helping with production.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
That was really it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
So I think I was a mixture of lucky that
that was the format and really curious. So I would
show up early and I would learn from worst assistant, Anthony,
who was Deanna. He did video at the time, and
I'd learned from him, and then I would stay late
and I would learn from someone we lovingly referred to
(08:40):
as bald free Grannie, who taught me pro tools. And
then after two semesters of that, Ronnie asked me to
be his intern.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
And then.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
One of the co hosts left the show. So right
when I was gonna have to leave.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
They needed someone to out.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Carolina Bermudez from all of the best of material because
she was leaving in a matter of weeks and we
need her gone in that case, you know, she couldn't
be a part of the show anymore.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
So I was hired part time, and then I was
promoted to this job when my predecessor, Lauren went elsewhere.
It's basically been it.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yes, it's like.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
It was a mixture of luck and work.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Like I thought it was fun to learn from other
departments at the time, it wasn't exactly because I was like,
this is what's going to set me apart, but it's
also what set me apart. Like Carlrina went on vacation
once and I was an intern and they asked me
to come in and be the phone up to cover her.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
And then same thing.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
With brald Free Grannie had to stay home for a
while and I would come in and I would do
all the productions. So to me, it was just really
cool to get to do that and fun. But I
felt like unknowingly I was being tested.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It worked.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I fear that my story is actually the complete opposite.
I had, like, not exactly luck, but I like forced
myself on everyone here.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Babe.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yeah. So I have like no connection to Elvis Duran
in the Morning Show. I had never heard of it
in my whole entire life because I'm from the South.
So they didn't. I don't think you'll reach Louisiana. So
like we didn't listen to that. We had our own
like iHeart and local station. But I was just like
looking for any job ever that like had to do
(10:26):
with like the entertainment specifically more the music industry. But
I didn't, like I hadn't really thought about radio. I
just just I applied to everything. I think I applied
to like two hundred and seventy three jobs or something
like that. Yeah, I was going nuts, so because I
was abroad and I had two hour classes twice a day,
and we don't learn anything. So I was just like
(10:48):
applying to internships left and right, making new cover letters,
new resumes like all that stuff. I got like pretty
good amount of interviews, i'd say. But once I had
my interview, it was with Diamond and Andrew and me,
and something just like in my head was like you
have to do this, Like we talked about Bravo and
(11:10):
then I told him the story of how I got
sent to the psych ward at the Harry Styles concert
and was held there against my will.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'm sorry, sorry.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
That hair Styles concert has a psyche ward.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Oh no, I got ejected from the Harry Styles concert
and put in a gurney and sent to the psych
ward from there.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Unfortunately, this still doesn't make more sense, but at.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Some point, Yeah, so that story actually like clicked and
got me my internship because they asked me, like, can
you tell crazy stories? Bitch? Do I have crazy stories? Okay?
So I said, lock in Here's the best one ever.
I told that, and they were both like crying, laughing,
and then I got a call that I got the internship,
but I had to up and move from New Orleans too,
(11:54):
because it was like the summer of my junior year
going into senior year. So then I got here worked
out really well. I had like a room with one
of my best friends who was also interning. I ended
up loving in here so much that I was like, listen,
you ain't getting rid of me. So I stayed till
like September. Like I interned from June ninth to September ninth.
(12:20):
So that was like excessively long for what is supposed
to be a semester, I guess, but I just like
had so much fun and I was like, please keep
me around. And then I came back for jingle Ball.
Literally flew from Wisconsin to work for free, and I
was like please, I like, I want to be here.
I will do anything to say. And then I just
(12:40):
never stopped thinking about it. And I didn't really lose
touch with like Andrew or Diamond or like any of
the people who I made friends with. So I reached
out to Andrew in like April of before I graduated,
and I was just like, listen, please take me back,
like I will do anything. I don't care, like I will,
I'll be an intern again.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Get objected from another Harry Styles concert.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I will, I will go through that again and come
up with a new story like I don't care, but
please just let me back. And so he like, thank
god for Andrew made something work out for me and
like basically created an internship for me that he like
really needed help with. And I'm glad that I could
help him, because Lord, when I got here, I realized
he was doing all that on his own. That's not healthy.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
I don't think we covered it here so far. You
do the podcast?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Oh yes, I do.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
So that's like, as any listener who's been around for
a long time knows that that's a much newer, beefed
up branch of the show.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah for sure, Yeah, yeah for sure. And I do
also like get to help a lot with the show,
which I really like, Like I kind of like being
able to like know everyone and like do both because
like it crosses over a lot. I know, like a
lot of the interns sometimes get confused about like what
I do because I'm not like on the show, I guess,
or like when they do like the posts and stuff,
(13:58):
like I'm not like included in that, but I'm like
in my own section of like myself. But it has
its benefits and I love it. I just love everyone here.
So that's how I ended up here. And then I
got hired full time sorry randomly like from my internship.
It was like, okay, so you're staying right, and I
was like, so I'm saying right, this is mutual. We
(14:20):
see each other.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
At least they were nice about it. They fake fire.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
The person who hired me walked in.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
They were at least nice to you. That sounds like
for your transition.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They called me to fire me, and into the conversation,
We're like, I'm just kidding, do you want a.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Job gas lighting? Terrible?
Speaker 7 (14:49):
I think this works, am I on?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
It's working?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Hi everybody, and we have a fifth Yeah. Wow, Hi Andrew.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
What's the topic, Sam, I were just talking about how
we got hired.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yeah, Sam and I got hired within a couple months
of each other.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yeah, it was really who was first even days day? Okay?
Speaker 7 (15:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Wait, did y'all know that they lived together too?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Oh yeah, briefly mentioned it slightly before Josh and Andrew.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Or was it the three of y'all?
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I lived with Josh for a while and.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Andrew and rooms.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
So our rooms door, which we did not utilize ever
for shenanigans. Ever, our rooms had a door. Yes, that's
a yeah. I don't know why it used to work
out when I lived with where his assistant Anthony, because
he'd oversleep a lot. So I'm getting ready and when
it was quiet, like I just got to a level
(15:48):
of comfort where it would just be me, like the
swing the door open, Wake up?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Where are you?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Wake up?
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Sleepy bitch?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Wake up bitch.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
He used to rely on me.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It started happening, and I guess he was so used
to it that he stopped setting an alarm and just
wait for me to come in.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Oh wait, I have a question, So how did y'all
end up living together? Like how do you talk about that? Like, like,
do y'all met through work?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And then yeah, So when I came here, I lived
in Harlem and then it was with a couple of
my best friends from high school. And one was such
a slob that I had to leave where. I'm like, where,
we're done being friends if I.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Have to stay here. So I left.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I went back home and then Where's assistant Anthony knew
I was looking for a place.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
And he tricked me into coming to check it out.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I didn't know it was with him and his two
other guy friends at the time, one Josh being one
of them.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Oh, He's like, there's a sublet. You got to come
check it out. You're gonna love Jersey City. And I
show up, he like swings the door open.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
He's like hey, like shit, I'm out, I'm out. No,
But it was it was great. It worked out really well.
And then when my sublet was over, one of the
roommates were moving out permanently, so I was there for
a few years.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
The cheapest rent. It's just so nice. I regret every day.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I didn't save money there, forget it, but we did.
It was six hundred fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Okay, how well we think he did illegal stuff?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Yeah, because you can't maintain that.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
That's just that's not even Yeah, that's not It had.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
A washing machine downstairs, it had a dishwasher. It was
just like everything was so perfect.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Dames.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I fear that y'all are part of a very illegal scheme,
which is fine.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Just tell me nothing.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yeah, I don't want to know it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
But there was black mold, not when I I left,
pre black mold era.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I'm ninety sure the mold was still there pre awareness dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
There could be a couple of things wrong.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
And I agree, but I could have a.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Rat room problem.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I would have a rat roommate for that.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
I will say.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I never saw a bug in that apartment. No, not once,
and it should have had bugs.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yes, so it was dirty. It just says then I
moved out, Babe.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Reason I moved out?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Do you imagine it was a transient apartment because people
would just like come in, leave and the new people
would move in, but they'd leave stuff, so like the
pots the pants would come from, like all different roommates
who stayed there at certain times. So you never really
had one group that ever stayed fully.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
So you lived in that apartment too, You didn't come
in when Anthony left? Yes, I took his room, okay,
so there was no overlap, gotcha? Okay sometimes the time.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Because I lived next door and I was with another girl, Jax,
who interned here too coincidentally and got a job here,
and then we.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
Fell in with that guy from Germany Sweden, don't Yes, yeah,
one of those like you would think they've worked here
for like two hundred years.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
The book is very bad. Apartment.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
I moved so much.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
This is like the first time I've ever been in
an apartment for longer than two years. And it's so
nice to just be like home and not have to worry.
And I live by myself and I love living by myself.
It's like the best feeling in the world. But but yeah,
that apartment was grimy, to say the lie.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
What are y'all's living situations right now?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I moved into my apartment in August where I live
in because I go to school in Fidey, so I
was in the dorms the first two years and then
we were kind of like all over the place with
sub letters for a long time because we signed release
in May. Both myself and my roommate went home for
(19:29):
the summer, so we need to find two sub letters.
She went abroad for the semester and needed another one,
and now we're both there.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Okay, interesting, I'll say, I'm I'm still just all the
dorm living. I've done four years straight of dorm living.
I've had one roommate since I was freshman. As the
years have gone on, he's progressively gotten dirtier. I love
my roommate, Mike, but he he leaves stuff all over
(19:56):
the place. Like I just cleaned up the dorm this
past weekend because I was I just needed to get
everything clean. Comes back, I already was coming to get
ready in the morning. Next thing you know, I see
a shoes are out, and then before he sometimes it's
closed in the bathroom. I'm like, okay, man, this is bad.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
This is like your stereotypical wife business.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Yeah yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
He is my loving man's but at the same time,
same time it is. It's a lot. But we we
stole another one of our friends to make him move
of us, and my original roommate moved out at this
past semester because he graduated, so I have my own
like little two person like dorm room to myself.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, that you are, oh mane legacy ship exactly.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
That's like epic.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
But to your guys' point, though, we did find mold
in our shower like about maybe a semester or to
Ago haf Street University's.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
We're in the shower top of.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
The ceiling like right above.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
You got, babe, you gotta clean that.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
No no, no, no, to do you reach the ceiling?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
It was already mar.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Shortest one here. You have to like just go like
put your officycle.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Do you think Michael Agelo did it?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I'm inspired?
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Thank you, Ben.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
To the hostra's point, they decided the best way of
going about clean because we did feel like a work
order and we were like, hey, this is not like good.
They decided to paint over it. That was their solution
for knealing with mold and started chipping out that was.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Super lead and mold.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Emotional damage, yeah, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
My my Airbnb lost summer, like I've moved three times
I think last summer.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah, carbon monoxide last summer.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Oh wait sorry, two summers ago. I moved like three times.
Carbon monoxide was twenty twenty four summer, Got It twenty
twenty three summer. My Airbnb ceiling fell through on me
while I was in the shower.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
That you're the second person that I know that.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, like all that cotton candy looking ship. Super bizarre
because I was wet, you know, I was in the
shower and then like the people above me, you know
how the ceiling fell through and I was like in
the shower, Hey guys, and there's like people up there. Yeah,
you get what I'm saying. Wow, truly traumatizing. I had
(22:11):
to literally, sorry, I throw on a sweatshirt over like
the cotton candy like stuck to my.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Sorry, she's going cotton candy.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Brand. That is not good. That is not good stuff.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Well, you know what, it's been two years and we're
still alive.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Yeah, I'm sure you're fine.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
It's just like prolonged in.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
You sure before this watch has like blonde hair.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
And also, can we please talk about how I accidentally
gave my identity to chat GBT and I accidentally sent
my social security number to chat GYBT? How does how?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
How does how does I feel like that doesn't accidentally it.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Was a total accident. I sent I had to. I
sent a picture of a document that I was trying
to understand. I was like, what does this mean? Like
in dumb people terms, and I didn't realize that on
that document was my social Security number. I thought the
four the first four digits were xed out and they were.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Chat gypt like it means I own you.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Then literally a day or two days later, an article
pops up on my phone. I don't have articles pop
up on my phone, Like, I turn that off and
it says what you should be keeping from chat g
BT number one.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I mean, I feel like that's just number.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
However, yeah, I mean I deleted it and I was like, okay,
so it's gone now, But no, it's just deleted from
my conversations with chat GPT.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
The AI overlords are going to own you, like.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
You're the first.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Celia Romano will not exist any longer.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
I mean to chat GPT too, though.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Yeah, you have to say please you.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
I do all the time.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
You don't know what That's what my thought processes too,
So I say thank you every time.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
You know what, take me away. It's done enough for me,
like it provided me with help with schoolwork, and you're done.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
You wash your hands with this.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah, my hands are clean, My bills are paid amy, Okay,
so so.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Chat he makes some new bills for you. Yeah, use
your life bill.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
We are the antithesis of so many things because I
keep waiting to get arrested because I used to do
like extra work for TV and movies when I graduated
college and I made up a fake social Security number,
Holy job, because I was afraid. I was afraid they're
gonna steal my identity.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Okay, it's just so much war.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Do you ever think about that if you did make
up a social Security number, the doc would be somebody else's.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
No one like asked me what it was like, could
we double check?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I mean, the chances are very high that if you
pick a random string of numbers.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
That's somebody's social Security number.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Probably you know, there's a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Does it go in order of like what person? Sorry,
now this is.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
The first and the fair question.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
What it's done. Is the number retired?
Speaker 7 (25:05):
It was about to say, like, so I'm number.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, but also no that wait, would it makes sense
how many numbers is this is? No, it wouldn't make
sense because everybody has the same amount of digits in
their Social Security number.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
It's eight numbers.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Yeah, my fingers.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Yes, so that's a million. Wait, no, that's a double
million number.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's five.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Nine yeah, nine, Okay, that's funny.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
It is it's nine, it's nine. Yeah. I just counted
my hands.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Three in the beginning, two in the middle, four at
the end. Yeah, and you can reveal the last four
without getting your identity stolen, which is like confusing.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I agree, apparent why the last four?
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Then?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Also, you said you had a carmenoxide issue, as did I.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Really trauma bonded and Diana as well. Okay, great, it's
happened in Diana like four times.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Sometimes I think it's Deanna.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I mean at covids seventeen times when it was a
week old.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I feel like Diana and I are somewhere on that level,
like the weirdest, like bad things happen. Okay, I don't.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Know what was your carbon monoxide?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, now I want to know too.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Oh so in October, I want to say, me and
the subletter we were just sleeping. It was like two
in the morning. Everyone in the building was asleep, and
all of a sudden we hear every single carbon monoxide
detector on our floor going off, and it's not like
a cute beep beep beep, warning carbon monoxide. And I'm like,
(26:42):
are you kidding? And so I stayed in bed. I
was like, I don't like then they like went off.
Eventually you are not.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
An alarmist, are you?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It like depends because I always think, I'm like, it's
not that serious. Yeah, because especially the alarms went off. Eventually,
I think I got up and I opened my screen
door to like I.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Probably die, Like, let's just air it out, because like
if you open it, you have to bring your body
outside mid sum it's not sealed off.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
You're fine, it's.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Not it's not just like the air that needs to
go out, like you need to physically put yourself outside
and breathe in fresh air.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Well I didn't do that. Yeah, I just opened the
screen door. And then I think like the fire department
came and like they came into all of our like
apartments and they were like, oh, it's fine, we're not
like getting any levels. So we were like, oh weird,
and must have been a fluke. Two days later, it
happens again. It's like five in the morning, warning carbon monoxide.
(27:37):
They come again and they're like, oh, we had some levels,
but they're going down now. And then one of my
neighbors was like, oh, we went to the hospital this
morning because we got like carbon monoxide poisoning. They lived
on the floor below me. So it's like, Okay, something's fishy.
And it seems like nobody's like taking.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
That's that's that's not fishy, that's the trauma. That's what happened.
And you're like, you were in the hospital something.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Like if you guys are feeling weird, you should go
get checked out. And I'm like, something's off. I'm calling
the super who, keep in mind i've never met, and
I'm like, hey, so I'm calling about the car monoxide.
He was like yeah, I figured it. Like I'm just
a little bit like concerned, like what's going on. It's
(28:28):
death upon me, right, I'm like, it's everything okay. It's
like so basically, there's a spa beneath our building called
Spat eighty eight. I'm gonna air them out. And they
had like a pipe leak and it was leaking into
our building. That's how the story goes, and they were
like yeah, but they're fixing it. I was like like
(28:50):
da and they're like, yeah, I hope. So I was like,
you hope. This is your job to like make sure
we're safe.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Are you serious? Are you French?
Speaker 6 (29:30):

Speaker 4 (29:38):
My mom was named after a French celebrity. Her name
was Michelle one L.
Speaker 6 (29:42):

I'm glad we know.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
So basically, they fixed the pipe at SPA.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
So then I got my own harbonnoxide detector because I
was worried they were going to turn ours off something.
So I got my own plugged into the wall and
it has like a little like number reader fierce. So yeah,
this happens, it gets fixed, no worries. Months later, there's
a video on TikTok of Justin Bieber coming out of
Spy eighty eight.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Wait is it the Turkish Club?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yes, I was right there.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
No, that's not find The Turkish Club is in the
East Village.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Well I don't. I think this one's also the Turkish baths.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Yeah, it's nuts.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
It's like an But there's also one like under my
building that Justin Bieber went to, oh crazy, like recently. Yeah,
And I was like, wait that literally gat my building carbonoxide?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yeah, mine mine. Also, they didn't care about my my poisoning.
But I did go to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh okay, I didn't go to hospital pisoning.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Yeah, no one cared and I was all alone.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
The landlord with the black mold said the same thing
I showed, like I paid for an independent report me too,
And I said, hey, this is black mold. And the
guy was like, it is not black mold. I'm like
I for it, so it is black mole. Like, I'm
not trying to goof you.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
You're trying to kill me.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Literally, I got I had to call three one one,
you know, like three one one.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
No, it's like the non emergency hotline and.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
You call for carbon monoxide.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, so it's like it's a big deal but like
not really but like but.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Like we don't need you to like we don't need
like guns and shit or like sirens, like we're good. Yeah,
do not canna come.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Take your time, but when you're available.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Yeah, but no, I didn't. I was not a fear.
I did not act like that. I was like, like,
they're wrong line like screaming. She was okay, let me
transfer you to the fire and amart Man High School
and I was like, no, hello, like I am about
to die like I have. I'm standing outside, I feel
like I'm aout to faint. I'm about to throw off.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Why aren't you calling nine one one?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Because I was like, I don't know, because they couldn't
do anything get an ambulance.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
More than from the one of the two that doesn't
offer that.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I looked it up on con Edison. They said a
call three want one because it's not an emergency.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I feel like it's not an emergency until you're standing
outside about to throw up and pass out from carbon monoxide.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yeah, but my building when listened to me, they sent
conned and then they like they did the tester. I
followed the man everywhere and said, you need to test
it everywhere.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Why did they send con ed and not like the
fire department?
Speaker 4 (32:19):
And that is my question as well.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
And the gug on mind was that the fire department
was going to like sue the building or something because
they kept on having to come for no reason. Really,
Like that was the whole gag, was that the fire
department was fed up because they just kept on coming
at five in the morning because carbonoxy like you know
what I mean, They weren't fixiation. Yeah, and itways continual.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Wow, Jesus, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Mine, they were just disrespectful as hell, like truly just
did not give a flying fuck about the fact that
I could not sleep at night because my my carbon
monoxide alarm. Like I also bought my own after the
thing because I was freaking the hell out. Turns out
I actually didn't know how that thing worked, so I
thought that every time the light was on there, I
was like, oh, babe, yeah, but actually the light is
(32:59):
supposed to stay on all the time.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
That's why you need to get one with a little screen.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Okay, I actually think I might ask you for the
link I bought a.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Travel talking with that after that poor kid last week
or two weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, what happened to the hotel?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
We didn't make it from carbon your hotel? No, no, no,
the white loaded No, I'm sorry. I make jokes when
I'm uncomfortable and sad about things.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
It's a really white loaded mechanism. No, That's what I'm saying.
Was the unhealthy coping mechanism happen? Baseball player's hell and
that poor kid? Yeah, literally your faces totally. This kid's
on vacation. Yeah, uh huh okay again, and they get
the stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
And he thought it was food poisoning or he was
allergic to something, and then they found out it was
carbon MONOXI.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Was like fifteen fourteen something like that child, like the
whole family got sick apparently, but he was like the
one that passed away. And like they said, they oh,
everyone had something bad, but like they were like, oh,
but we had this and it wasn't say then literally
they did the tacology report.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Everyone else in the I meant in the wall next
to him or something like that, like something that was
close to their room.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Was the source.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
But with everything you guys are saying, and with that
story just happening, never try bring your own carbon dioxide
detection everywhere, with your own go everyone listening, check it
right now.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
But I don't order another one.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Kidding me.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I feel like, do fire alarms double as them?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Most of them? Some of them do, but most of
them new ones do. I found I found out mine
was carbon monoxide actually because my fire alarm was broken.
My smoke alarm was broken in my apartment, and I
was like, for some reason I noticed that it was broken.
I never would have. Like it wasn't beeping, like, it
wasn't like a battery low, it was actually broken. And
so I like got on a chair and I was
(34:47):
like shut up, like and then and then I switched
the batteries just to see if that would fix something.
And then it turned on. It was carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide like screaming at me. And so that was when
I called the landlord and I was like yo.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Like yeah, what And some of them don't tell you
the difference.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yeah, So I didn't trust that thing after and I
never will.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Yeah, but I'm gonna need that link after.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
I'll put it. We'll put it in the description for
the episode everybody else sponsor, but it should be everybody
use use code ben twenty twenty percent off your common
carment on my text in the bio Ltka, I shot
my it's it's lengthd.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
In my Amazon storefront under essentials.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
It's actually really sick how many platforms there are to
buy so that other people buy. Yes, sorry, but it
is kind of fierce. It is like the amount of
money that they make from it makes me genuinely sick
to my stomach.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
No, but I kind of love it because I think
of it as it's not the big company. Like if
I'm buying a sweater for let's say there's a sweater
I want and it's fifty dollars, and I'm buying it
from lay generic brand for fifty dollars, or I buy
it from the link also for fifty dollars. That this
person that was wearing it got it from this store
(36:00):
does not make all the money.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
Now, now that person makes a little bit, And in fairness,
that's how I saw it. I don't mind it's fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Yaf my nose.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It's the same amount if there was a premium it
is now fifty three dollars.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
That would piss me right right the fuck off.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
I think I'm just anti NYC influencers, and so I
like the ones, but in the LA ones though, I
just I don't think I fear that I don't like
any of them. I've been really obsessing over Wait, this
is gonna sound really bad. I've been really liking there's
like a new new resurgence of like Charlie Amilio's. But
they're like young, like fourteen, and I think that they're
(36:34):
really entertaining.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
I have been following all of their trips and everything,
and they're like all dating and stuff. But they're fourteen,
So I follow the lore and I love it. They
all vlog and stuff. They just went to Florida with
their parents. Yeah, like literally, like their moms are in
the vlogs and they're like, okay, bye, guys, like see
(36:58):
you in two days.
Speaker 6 (36:59):
And I'm like, oh, no.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Hold up, a fourteen year old is going on a
trip by themselves.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
With their boyfriends.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Oh yeah, they are definitely over eighteen and you were
being sold something.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
I'll show you a picture and they are not over eighteen,
because that is terrible and probably illegal.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Like where in Florida.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Oh, it's like actually right where world? Noamily, it's like
seaside like destined area. Okay, just leaving like where all
the Southerners go.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
But like, you can't do anything at fourteen, but they do.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
One of them as a fourteen year old dating a
seventeen year old, and that's illegal.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
That's grooming.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
It's illegal.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
I'm about to start making jokes because I'm unhappy again.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Yeah, that's where I lie. Raise your hand, I for
you scared.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Charlie Amilio, has anybody seen Andrelia?
Speaker 6 (37:49):
Yes, I didn't know she was in it.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I haven't seen it. I really wanted and then I'm like,
she's not.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Really hurting it. She got hit by a stage light.
Speaker 7 (37:59):
What are you?
Speaker 4 (38:01):
But that was like two months ago. You'll ever watch Victorious,
y'all a little so no? Yeah, okay, remember when the
episode where they're trying to make up like how Trina
Vega got in and they make up that story of
how a stage light flew and hit her.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Was like, that's not what happened to Charlie, but.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Kind of almost hit her in the head and she
ended up in the hospital. Every single every single story
that I've heard deserves suing. Yeah, this is all this
is fair.
Speaker 6 (38:35):
It's death there, like.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Yeah, finned out, she's she's okay.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Now. I just saw Cabaret. It was really good. An
orble text just started off.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
What is that play about?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
So it's in the title Cabaret, but it's.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
It's like a German like club, right, the cat Club.
And this guy who's like a writer from America comes
to Germany and he stays at this like little like
motel near the Kitcot Club, and he goes and kind
of like, how's this thing with the main queen of
the Kitcot Club. It's kind of like a sex club.
(39:13):
They're all kind of like hookers. Oh okay, it's like
wink hookers, but it's like tea.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah, are they like escorts?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Kind of yes, Like it's like low key.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
It is that what t means. When you just said tea,
I was confused.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Wait, what are you asking about?
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Means?
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Well, you were confirming something. You go, that's the tea
and I was just yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Like that that's what I'm understanding too.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It's like that's the tea, like the real track. So
like they work at the club, but the real tea
is other hookers, I know, like gossip tea true, like
i'd be like, the real t is their hookers.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
Okay, got it?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
And then back on track, right, and then all of
a sudden in act too, it's Nazi Germany.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
Wait, such a that's the story.
Speaker 6 (40:01):
But hearing you just say that is hilarious, all of
a sudden Germany.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
So first it's hooker club and the guys hooking up
with the KitKat queen, and then okay, here we are
Nazi Germany nineteen forty.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Kidding, that's how it feels to watch.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
This is kind of.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Like, uh huh, it's really it's really fierce.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
Is it a musical? Yes?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
And I love Orville Pack and he too started as
the MC and he was phenomenal. He was so good. Really, Yes,
it's no mask, mask, no mask t see truth, except
you put it on for like a song, no curtain call.
(40:46):
That's lame.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
I think, what happened?
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Keep the mask off you're on Broadway.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
But it's also like, now you've dropped the character you're
playing for curtain calls?
Speaker 4 (40:56):
So would I guess that does make it so? His audi,
his audi is back. His anny was playing in cabaret
and his Audi had the mask back. Yeah, with the French.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
But if you're interested, go see.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
It was really good.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
I think I might thank you. Yeah, that one got
away from.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
Me, like my whole life.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
That are you guys hipped to the theater app? The
theater app One of my friends hipped me recently. It's
called theater but what no, he hipped he hipped me
like like he yeah, he informed me. Hipped yeah, like you.
Speaker 7 (41:30):
Like put him on to you for me too from
oh you got hip to, but you just call.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
It hipped like he hipped me, meaning like he informed me.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Gotcha, he put he put them on, put me off?
Speaker 4 (41:42):
Got it?
Speaker 7 (41:42):
Sure, I've never heard that one.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
That's okay because it's like hip.
Speaker 4 (41:46):
It's like hipped that person technically.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Totally yeah yeah, but just as a verb.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Yeah, okay, okay, past that.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
This is recycling by the way, because yeah, you know
what I'm hip to.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
But like now it's been the purpose I've been on
right there.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
Okay, we're so green, Okay, keep going.
Speaker 7 (42:03):
Continue.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
So it's called theater but with no E at the end,
So t h E a t R and basically you
got notified for the shows that you put notifications on
if somebody's reselling a ticket for under a certain price
that you set it to. So so last Wednesday, I
was leaving on the podcast.
Speaker 6 (42:21):
Now We're gonna have so many competitors.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
I was leaving this building and I got a notification
and it said thirty five dollars Cabaret and I went
at two pm.
Speaker 6 (42:28):
Amazing. Oh wait, you know what?
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Donading Josh Coaster Boy, the version of Coast and Boy. Also,
we were texting about this the other week. I forgot
until this moment that he wants to see it, so I.
Speaker 7 (42:37):
Would go see it, and I go, I like today
tics too, Yeah, that's what I Usually they get points.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
The theater ticket app.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
I think I'm going to get your app.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
You should.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
But I also have only ever been to two Broadway shows.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
I would tell you that I have notice on for it.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
I haven't been to anything. So I've seen the Book
of Mormon that was last summer, and then I saw
Wicked Withdhi and Danielle in it.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
I mean, sorry, Aladdin, let me go over again.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
I missed that one. Remember Danielle was Alpha BAA. And
then I saw Aladdin with Danielle and Gandhi in it,
and that was great.
Speaker 6 (43:19):
I think I've seen I don't know if I could
count them.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
I'm jealous. If you ask him to bring me to one,
I'm like, please, can I go?
Speaker 7 (43:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (43:26):
I got invited once once and I was out of town.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Honestly, today, TICS is great because you could set it
for rush alerts where you can get forty five dollars tickets,
and I've succeeded, like they had it for a Sunset
Boulevard and I could get two tickets for forty five
bucks each in like the orchestra.
Speaker 6 (43:43):
Oh wow, you should have done that.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
I lie, I lie. I went to Chicago Ariano maddox
Is last night and I met her and I cried,
So I did she raised me.
Speaker 5 (43:56):
I've never gone to a Broadway show any interest. I
do enjoy.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
Musicals are straight places.
Speaker 5 (44:01):
I would say I probably play for the most part
because I've gotten to like school production stuff at least.
But like I remember my grandfather brought me when I
was a kid to I forget what it was, but
it was some one of these plays. I definitely have interest.
I just always hear eight. There are certain shows that
are like impossible to get to and be like the
cause definitely, because for me, the way I always give
(44:22):
about it is I'm a big concert guy instead, so
I'll go to that a lot. But yeah, I've always
thought of wanting to go to it. It's just also,
I got a month and a half off before I
leave new campus. I should probably this.
Speaker 6 (44:37):
Solo.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
It'll be pretty you know, we get a brand deal
for bad please.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
Yes, so many I'm going to write down and we
will be reaching out.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Please do hopefully after this speaking of concerts, as anybody
going to anything fun, my.
Speaker 4 (44:51):
Summer is packed, okay, same to let me just give
you the rundown. I'm going to not an or.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
This is also triggering conversation for me after last week.
I shouldn't have even brought it up.
Speaker 4 (45:04):
I'm sorry, guys, Ben lost the Great War with Lady
Goo Goo.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
No oh, no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
I know a moment of silence about the new shows
that I get foot up. Are you any chance there
or no?
Speaker 1 (45:16):
I tried them all out.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
I have hope. I have hope that you'll find something somewhere. However,
for me, I do have Okay. Gracie Abrams with role Model,
opening the weekend with Playboy Cardi, Beyonce, Cold Play, Empire
(45:39):
of the Sun and The Flaming Lips and Still Woozy.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
I When I get really intensely excited about things, my
reflex is to flail. So when you said the Flaming Lips,
my brain looked at my Macha cup and said.
Speaker 7 (45:56):
Throw it at her.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
I'm not kidding that full thought. But I go to
so few concerts. I care for so few like people
to see live again. We know how I started this industry.
It's because I love the talk show and I'm entertained.
But as far as like going to see I'm very picky.
I've seen the Flaming Lips with food poisoning.
Speaker 6 (46:18):
We need to talk about that.
Speaker 4 (46:20):

I might go see Lana in London.
Speaker 7 (47:47):
On the fourth of July.
Speaker 3 (47:48):
I love having a fun fourth Joly plan that's not
in the States. I feel like I did that last
year when I went to Japan. I saw a baseball
game in Japan. It was fantastic. I view it was
ten out of ten vibes, so much fun. The Hiroshimas No,
it was the cult something or other.
Speaker 7 (48:07):
I don't know whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
We can talk about that after. But yeah, I'm seeing Lana.
I think they're where I would like to see a
Lady Gaga show. That would be fun.
Speaker 7 (48:19):
And there was one other person.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
Oh and then the See Here Now festival and Asbery
because they have Remy Wolf is performing there and a
couple of others.
Speaker 6 (48:26):
Years I forgot about that.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
I think I want to go to gove Ball though.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
Okay, I don't know if I love festival vibes you said,
but I don't know.
Speaker 4 (48:38):
It's a great lineup.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
I think I think it would be fun. I'd rather
I do worry that like by day two and like ie,
by mid afternoon of the second day, I'd be like
for that.
Speaker 4 (48:50):
I was like built for festivals like that. I can
so I can really rally.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
I want to do the one in Iowa that Casey
is doing one day and doing that.
Speaker 4 (48:58):
I want to go to the one, and as spin
role Model Casey.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
Role Model was the other one I wanted to see.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
Yeah, but it was role Model Casey and then I
can't remember really good people. Oh Rufe is the soul.
Speaker 7 (49:11):
I'm seeing them too. Oh you're going to the one
in July? Yeah, yeah, who are you seeing?
Speaker 5 (49:16):
I was gonna say, speaking on your festival stuff, I
would love to go see the I think it's like
when we were young tour or like festival where it's
got like every pop punk band and mash like my
Chemical Romance. Does it follow out the boy? I'm pretty
sure did a few of them. I had to look
back because I remember my dad asked me about a
couple of shows I did turn down going to see
Barnaked Ladies and Sugar Ray. Just look, that is like
(49:37):
twenty years.
Speaker 4 (49:38):
Before their Naked Ladies are really good.
Speaker 5 (49:40):
I think I've seen them once before. I think I've
seen them once. But I did tell him a while
back to get tickets because he asked me about Avril
Levine and Simple Plan and I was like, that would
be very cool. But the only other one I'm trying
to convince them for like, my my music tastes is
very rock pop punk, so it's very very different. But
I really want to go see I Prevail, which is
like become up really big band. They did a Tailor
(50:01):
Swift cover like years ago and that's how I found them,
so I was like, Okay, I want them. They've been
like one of my first wrestling events I went to.
They were the theme song of it. So I was like,
all right, there's been so much connections. I need to
see this band. I almost saw them before COVID, and
then COVID canceled. No my dad said notes to the show,
and then show we said yes to he got canceled
because of COVID.
Speaker 7 (50:19):
So there's that.
Speaker 5 (50:20):
But this is like the one summer. I don't have
a lot right now, but like every year, we usually
go to a couple of concerts and stuff, like I've
seen Papa Rochi Good a couple of times, so I
definitely want to go see some more. I just I've
seen so many people on my like Discographia bands I
want to see.
Speaker 4 (50:36):
So yeah, and the Lallapalooza lineup is the best thing
I'm ever seeing.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
I'm looking at the goball run right now, and unfortunately
this isn't as much as it's speaking to you.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
Well, no, the lallapaloo is the one I would sell
my soul to go to, but I can't go.
Speaker 5 (50:52):
So funny enough of Gotball. I'm pretty sure it was
last year of a year before. One of my roommates
had to bring his sister to it. She really wants
it goes, so it's my groom. My mom got tickets.
Its like, all right, John, you're getting You're going with them.
And literally he was had no idea any of the
music because it's nothing that he listened to, since he
only listened to like eighties rock music. And he was
just sitting there like I have no idea what to
(51:13):
do because he was like the only dude in the entire.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
Force to take someone to an event like that, Like
I've taken my sisters to concerts, but that's like.
Speaker 5 (51:20):
It's even funnier just because like being in the comm
school at my area, so many people will be talking
about gove Ball, like we've sent people there to do
like reporting and stuff with it, so like people like
would kill to be at this show, And I'm like
my roommate's just there, just has no interest, no carriers, Like, damn,
you probably could have given this telling one of them.
They would have watched your sister Good Means of Money.
Speaker 6 (51:39):
Got my best face painting there.
Speaker 7 (51:42):
It's fun.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
And then I powered down very quickly because I'm like you,
we're here for a sprint, not a marathon.
Speaker 6 (51:48):
When it's me enjoying something.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
Yeah, I completely agree.
Speaker 7 (51:53):
Well, this was a fantastic fun episode.
Speaker 6 (51:54):
I have a lot of fun A big takeaways.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
I think the big takeaways are the carbon monoxidn't want
carbon monoxide alarms.
Speaker 6 (52:01):
Yeah, the biggest.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
We need to sue a bunch of places.
Speaker 1 (52:03):
La Place needs to be sued. We need to get
some sponsors for be specifically. Yeah, share the well.
Speaker 6 (52:09):
I need to get myself to the Flaming Lips concert
for sure.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
And many of you started as interns, and there's always
a way to just stick it through.
Speaker 4 (52:20):
Sometimes you just have to force your presence.
Speaker 6 (52:24):
