of people on this podcast, anda lot of them have been old friends
from college w c I P friendsspecifically, and me and you go way
back. We're part of that cultthat wc IPS TV created and years later

(01:14):
we're still doing really well. Andhe reeked out to me. Well,
I would say like a week ago, but it wasn't. It was just
like a couple of days ago,asked me to be on this podcast.
And I've been following him on socialmedia because I follow on my you know,
old, I like my peeps.I want my peoples to do well,
so I keep tracks on the keeptabs on him, so I follow
him on social media. He reeksout to me, asked me to do

(01:36):
his podcast, and we did hispodcast, and now he's doing mine.
It's only right, it's only fair. You seemed like the type of guy
to reciprocation. I'm very repate.Yeah, you absolutely, without a doubt.
If you don't, you're kind ofa terrible human being. I feel
like we have a hell of atime. Honestly, I don't even need
reciprocation. Uh see, we're alreadystarting, we're already going in. I

(01:57):
don't I don't even need reciprocation.I just want to do this stuff that
I want to do so I cancreate a fantasy in my head and then
you can leave. Because I don'teven give people. I don't give people
credit anymore. I expect them tobe awful, So I'm like, I'm
just gonna get what i want outof the situation and then I'll make do
later, you know, So satisfyyourself, be your own person. That
is amazing. Oh, I'm alwaysdown for that though. Like I'm willing.

(02:21):
I'm always willing to hear someone outand like, what do you like?
Tell me what you want and ifit's in something I'm comfortable with,
then by all means, like let'smake it happen. You open communications the
best way. You know why.I think people like you and I talked
to before you have there's some aboutyour spirit that people gravitate to you.
You don't seem like the type ofperson to want to do harm to anybody.

(02:42):
Now everyone's capable of anything, butyou don't seem like the type of
guy to bring harmed anybody. You'rejust mellow, chill vibes, and you
have a sexy stoner voice. Youdo. You have a like people.
If people didn't know you smoke wheat, it's like say you smoke with you
without saying you smoke wheat, andthen you talk and you laugh. You
have a sexy stoner voice. Inever thought of it like that. I
thought I just kind of had likea weird nasally voice, but it's sexy,

(03:06):
stoner voice, and it's perfect forbroadcasting. And I don't think I've
ever really asked you. Yeah,we were part of the w z I
p Z TV colt, but Inever really asked you, what did you
want to do in broadcasting? You'rekind of just like up there seeing what
you could bring and what I actuallywell, I was I was really hoping
to get into like sports broadcasting andlike football play by play. I always

(03:29):
loved watching football. It was myfavorite sport. But you know, being
a five nine white guy who who'snot fast, like I wasn't gonna ever
play in the NFL and I never. I don't know if I didn't make
the right connections or what it was. I still ended up going to grad
school working for the athletic department anddoing their media I graduated, I applied
to be the director of their mediadepartment, and they told me I didn't

(03:50):
have enough experience. A part ofme thinks, maybe, like dum,
dumb, bis, I don't haveenough experience, that's why I'm trying to
get a job. Dummy. Yeah, part of me thinks they probably knew
I was a bit of a jayin it, so they probably didn't,
like, you know, want meto have that responsibility. So I don't
know, I got kind of discouragedabout it. I sent out a bunch
of feelers for different jobs, butlike I never really ever was able to

(04:11):
get anything out of it. Soit sounds terrible, but like, you
know, I just kept bar attendingand you know, living my life as
a kind of a degenerate. Andthen I got into sales and all that
was fun. But as a gorgeoushouse you guys, Oh my god,
his house is beautiful and it's clean. You are are you bullshitting me that
you clean that yourself? Because everI clean it like once or twice a

(04:33):
week. Oh my god, areyou sure you're not gay? Yeah?
I walked to his house and itwas it was so clean, because you
know me, I'm I'm observant.I inspect everything. First time at someone's
house, I'm like, oh mygosh, the floor is spotless. And
not only was it clean, butit had like the freshly vacuumed vacuum marks,

(04:55):
like the it looks like a littleflower with the floor. I was
like, oh, he did heget it made? Did he get a
thing person, No, I doit myself once a week Jesus, and
Leo's there and his hair gets everywhere, so like you don't see his hair.
But when that vacuum goes, thatthing fills up with just so much
cat hair. And I don't wantpeople. I don't want to be that
guy with cat hair house. There'sa level of acceptance that I've made with

(05:16):
my life that I'm like, Iwalk into like a family member's house,
a friend's house, I'm like,there's gonna it's going to be dirty,
it's going to be cat hair.Like I don't judge. I don't.
I can't. I can't after movingout of a house like my mom's house,
where it was just a bunch ofstuff accumulated over the years, a
little bit of a hoarding situation,I don't talk about anybody's house ever.

(05:39):
I have never been that person like, oh their house was dirty, or
they sleep on a mattress on thefloor like big like like I have just
moved into an apartment and I onlyhad enough stuff to fill a bedroom.
So so yeah, I walked toyour house. I was like, damn,
this is this is how the otherhalf lives. And you're a single,
good looking, sis white male,So I guess I am. I

(05:59):
think if you and this is myopinion, and if this happens, I
want my cut. The way thatyou'll break into the sports industry and do
sports reporting, you'll be one ofthose. You'll be a straight guy,
shirtless on Instagram giving stats to thegays. Yeah, we were talking about
the fit gays at my house,the alpha elite at this point, though,

(06:21):
I don't even know if I reallycare about sports anymore though, I
just like, I feel like Ihave a good personality. I'm always willing
to talk and chat it up andanything that's interesting to talk about. I'm
always you know, whether it's popculture, whether it's movies, music,
whatever the story might be, youknow, the crazy Florida Man, any
kind of take I'm willing to partakein. Like that's just how it's always

(06:45):
been. And so sports me istaking a little bit of a backseat.
Like, don't get me wrong,Like if you invite me to a Browns
game, Indians or Guardians, Ishould say, Calves, I'm always gonna
want to go and hang out.But you know, at the end of
the day, I don't care whathappens at the end. Yeah, and
see your one of those people thatthat are practical minded. Some people,
sports is their entire existence. Theyplayed sports, they want to watch sports,

(07:05):
they want to read about sports,and if sports goes away, that
that is their personality and that's theiridentity. And I can't even talk shit
because that's honestly sometimes how I feellike I've done radio so long. I
did it since you know, Iwas in college, and that was a
big that was almost like a vesselfor me to be my true self or

(07:28):
or an exaggerated side of my personalitybecause it was right around the time I
came out, so I was findingmyself and I flocked to this medium.
And if it just went away,that's I dedicated ten years going on now
to eight years on the show,But like ten years plus, you know,

(07:48):
a decade of my life is justlike gone. So I can't even
talk like that is a lot ofmy personality is tied into being pound Cake
or or or you know, beingthe radio guy. It's on every one
of my dating bios like that.That is my career. That is my
profession. That is what I've sacrificedso long for. It's what I went
to school for, So I getit. If you're a doctor, I'm

(08:13):
sure you probably take off your lapcoat and don't want and be removed from
that after you get off. Butif you're a guy who is dedicated to
sports and that's your entire existence,you played it with Paul, you know,
in the backyard, you threw thatfootball, and you know you didn't
make it to the NFL or youdidn't get drafted. I imagine that was

(08:33):
kind of sting a little bit.You're trying to find yourself again. Yeah,
I get that completely, and butthere's more to you than just being
on the radio. It just hasthere. I think there is, I
mean playing that, I mean feellike I feel like there definitely is that
you do other things outside of this. Obviously, you know this is where
we're going to get to hear youthe most and all your stories and everything
like that. But you know,once you walk out of this this studio,

(08:56):
there's still another part of you that'sa normal guy. Yeah. I
again, I said it on yourpodcast and I and people only know what
I tell them, So yes,that's true. There is another side of
me, a far more personal sidethat I'm glad a handful of people get,
you know, the personal side.A handful of people get to see

(09:18):
that side of me. And ifyou get to see that side, consider
yourself fortunate. Because it's hard forme to open up because I am Radio
pound Cake and I don't know whoto trust and yeah, you know,
I the paranoid anxiety written Cody.Is it hard to Is it hard to
separate the two? Like because Idon't want to say you having like an

(09:39):
alter e guy? It almost italmost does sometimes though I understand how these
celebrities like a Nicki Minaj or LadyGaga. You know, Lady Gaga is
Stephanie Germinata. Lady Lady Gaga wouldn'texist without Stephanie, but Stephanie could exist
without Lady Gaga. Or you know, Onika can be Nicki Minaj, but
Nicki Minaj can't be Onika, youknow if Nica went away. So it's

(10:01):
the same thing for me. PoundCake is an extinction of me. It
is not all of me, butit's an extinction of me. Pound Cake
would not exist if Cody did notexist, but Cody could exist without pound
Cake. You know, there mightcome a day where Valan Cochho gets canceled.
I hope no time soon, becauseI just released an apartment. But
there might become a day where Iget rid of this radio name and I

(10:22):
just dump it all together and trysomething else and rebuild. So therefore I
would be Cody, and yeah,I would have to find a way to
move on. But yeah, it'san exaggerated personality trait of mine, and
sometimes he gets me into trouble.Pound Cake, pound Cake, he son
of a bitch. But he's evolvedover the years. So I'm proud of
him because he evolved with me fromyou know, the guy in Jamaica that

(10:46):
I told you about that was fun. That guy was fun, He was
lit. He was the life ofthe party and always kind of has been.
But he's a lot more reserved andhe knows that he could fuck with
our money. Now we can't.We can't afford that, so he's got
to keep things in perspective. ButI want to ask something, And I
don't know if you're persticity about this, because some people are people who have

(11:09):
tattoos. Are there stories behind yourtattoos on why you got him and when
you got him? Because you gotit's almost like a sleeve but not quite
so I got like the patches iswhat they're called, like a patch sleeve,
and I started just like the oneday. I don't know what it
made like. I had a coupleto begin with, but then the one
day I just decided I want toget something new. And I made a

(11:31):
good connection with my tattoo artist.He was just a real nice guy.
He just got started and I thinkhe you know, I just felt like
comfortable with him, like, youknow, because I didn't have many tattoos.
He was obviously covered in them.But they're good and they look expensive,
they aren't they that was the thingthough. The price was really pretty
good for the most part. Ididn't overspend, at least I don't think
I did. I'm listening, I'mjust getting he Actually, they were doing

(11:54):
a review this year of they weredoing a review of the finances and who's
brought in the most money, andthey were even able to break it down
by client. I'm the I'm thenumber one spender in this in their shop
this year. But it also helpsbecause I haven't had a job, so
your arms are pretty much covered.You got some on your legs, Yeah,
I got a little bit. Igot a couple on my on my

(12:15):
back, and I just pretty muchjust go in there. Sometimes I have
an idea, Like I told himI really wanted like a cool green frog,
and I didn't have a design.He just came up with that,
or like I told him I wantedan orange fox, like I told him,
because he experiments on you. Andyeah, so then you don't pay
for you don't pay full price forthose, or no I do. I

(12:37):
pay full price and I tip himand everything. Is there something you wouldn't
get on your body? Depending onthe Yeah, like I wouldn't get like,
you know, a dick tattoo,or you know, it would have
to be a vagina tattoo. No, I wouldn't get any like anatomy put
on me. I don't think.I'm pretty open though to the idea Like
the one on my leg for example, though, this was something he designed
and he wanted to like try it. So he just said, hey,

(12:58):
do you want to come in,like I have this new design I think
would be cool on your leg?And I said, yeah, that's fine,
and so I just went in andwe you know, he banged it
out and I, you know,I like using terms like that. See
that's the thing I see. One, I wish I had expendable income like
that just to get tattoos. Two. I all my tattoos I got were

(13:22):
under the age of eighteen. Iwas in the closet, very repressed,
and I thought the most masculine thingI could get is a tattoo, because
not a lot of people get him. It's eggy, you take risks,
and my brother got tattoos, andmy mom oddly enough, it's over protective,
and you know, uh, well, I guess she's over protective as

(13:43):
she was. That wasn't one ofthe things that she was over protective about
because she had tattoos, so reallyshe didn't see it like a big deal.
I was sixteen and I wanted acrown with Did you ever see my
You saw my tattoo? Ye say, it's I thought it was on one
of your own. Is right here? I got one here, a crown
with my initials underneath it. ToI think, signify dedication, loyalty,

(14:05):
and royalty to yourself. I don'tknow what it was to me. When
people look at it and they askedme what's it about, I say it
signifies someone who got a tattoo fartoo young. And you know it was
don't get tattoos while you're in thecloset, kids. That's that's what I
can advocate for. Because the otherone I got, this was sixteen.
I remember it was the day.The one on my arm was the day

(14:26):
that Barack Obama got inaugurated, LikeI remember, that's how I market it
was. It was the first timehe got inaugurated, the first inauguration of
Barack Obama. It was that day. And then the one on my back
it was a cross with that sayspatience over it, and that one was
seventeen. I don't remember that day, but my mom and my brother and

(14:48):
I all got one together. Weall got some some cross or some like
scripture that we wanted to take withus. And my mom got my brother
got faith, my mom got hope, and I got patience. Cool are
they all on the same spot.I think that's cool that you guys all
did that together, Like, yeah, my mom got one. My mom's

(15:09):
and eyes are my mom and iyesis on the left shoulder blade, so
yeah, so's we got ours thesame spot. My brother kind of has
like a whole back piece, sohe didn't have room for it, so
he got he got plenty of boobroom. Yeah, so he got across
and then has faith on it onhis boob. No, that's that's cool

(15:30):
because my best friend Zach his familyall has the same tattoo. It's called
the Eye of Auras and it's it'sa symbol for you know, prosperity protection.
It's like an Egyptian I and Iremember it got the Illuminati. I
it sort of kind of looks likethat. It's got like these weird like
the little lines, yeah underneath it, uh huh. And they all had

(15:52):
it, and I remember we Igo on their family vacation every year.
I always make the joke that I'mtheir adopted son that they never had.
And then we were out to eatone day, the five of us,
and this they were leaving. Wewere leaving the restaurant and this random guy
happened to have the tattoo of theEye of Orris and I didn't have it,
and I got super butt hurt.I was like, I'm going home

(16:14):
and I'm getting at So I immediatelybooked up an appointment and got one on
my back just to fit in.You know, that's something now as an
adult, and that's the thing.I've seen my maturity like I've witnessed my
maturity because before I was like tattooedtattoo tattoo, I thought they were cool,
can't have men without any ink,And now in my adult life,

(16:37):
I'm very reluctant to get one becauseI'm like one again. Tattoos are expensive
and I don't know, I havetrust issues. I don't know. I
have to go to the right tattooartist, someone that I would trust,
that would know would do a goodjob if they're going to be my only
other tattoo over the Like I'm thirty, Now, what am I gonna get
that I want? Like that Iwant on my body so bad, you
know that I just gotta get ittattooed. So that's one. The other

(17:02):
aspect is I have sosiasis and Idon't know if I would like have an
allergic reaction to it now. Ihad sariasis then but not as bad as
I do now, So I don'tknow if I would have an allergic reaction
to the ink. And I wantto test my luck. So I want
another tattoo. I just don't knowwhat I would get and if I should
get it. So that's something totalk about Dermatolicist about But I only asked

(17:23):
if it was a sore spot toask about tattoos because there was this hot
porn star that I would like.I was messaging with on Instagram one time.
I was trying to get him onthe podcast and I asked to see
in Cleveland. No no, no, no, no no, no,
not that one. I know.I think I know who you're talking to.
Everyone knows. Yeah, everyone knowsthat one. But no, this
this guy. It was just gonnabe like a zoom okay zoom interview.

(17:47):
And he was like, why doyou need to know how many tattoos I
got? I was like, becausethey're I didn't. I don't need to.
I was just curious. They coveryour entire freaking body. Yeah.
He's like, that's such an annoyingquestion. I was like, okay,
excuse me, Well I'm sorry.So I didn't know that. I didn't
know if that was a source spot. No, I don't mind talking about
it. And they were. Itwas a compliment. It was gorgeous.
He had nothing compliments a beautiful bodymore than you know, beautiful artwork on

(18:11):
it. So I hope it ifsomeone gets their body covered in tattoos.
I want them to do it justice. Yeah there's I again. I hate
bring him up because I like JustinBieber, but he almost looks like he
has poop smearred on him, likeall the tattoos he got. And I
understand, I'm sure because he's sucha big name, every tattoo artist in
the world is begging to do freework on them because their work is seen
by millions of people's He's photographed allthe time walking around shirtless. So but

(18:36):
there's a point where I'm like,no, like y'all, it just doesn't
even look like anything in where hegot so much. But yeah, so
tattoos are cool, tattoos are hot, and I like guys who can pull
them off. And one of thesedays I'm gonna get another. But so
back to our old how we knoweach other again. I told you this

(18:56):
kind of off air when I stoppedover to your place that I remember specifically
in when we were in college.You would come up to the studio and
there was another gay guy there.We don't have to say his name because
I want to blow up his spot, but he was like, oh my
god, Scott. I was like, what he's like? He is just
so he is just so sexy andhe's so sweet, and he and and

(19:19):
like he was just going on andon. I was like, okay,
well that's fine, and she wasand he was like, even even when
he has his like nerdy moments,he's still hot. There was a there
was a moment when you walked in. I think you were doing some type
of sports You had just got donedoing some type of sports interview for an
internship. Yeah, and you hada button you had a button up shirt

(19:41):
on and he said that the Ididn't see this, but he said that
you you had perspired like all theway down your shirt, like you had
sweat marks. I sweat a lot. That sounds one hundred percent right.
And he was like, he's like, I'll change his shirt. He was
like, I have another shirt forhim. Let me go iron it for
you. I was like, ohmy god. So you were such a

(20:03):
hit with the ladies. Were youlike a ladies man back then? No?
Not a ladies and gay men lovedyou. Yeah. I mean now
it seems to be coming like thatseems to be coming out to me more
and more that I know this wascoming out. Yeah, realized I realized
that was a bad, bad wayto say it. But I've been I've
been realizing this more and more asI've gotten older, that I was maybe
a pretty oblivious to it back thenin college. I also was dating someone

(20:26):
at the time, so like,I really wasn't get a girlfriend all through
college. I would say my sophomorethrough end, a senior year, middle
of grad school, that you cheated, right, No, I broke up
so I could, so I couldn't. So I couldn't. I didn't know
if I could. I didn't knowwhat. Yeah, yeah, I guess,
oh yeah, well I definitely.I broke up with it so I
could. I was gonna say it. I was just like, wow,

(20:48):
so you stay with it the wholetime. I was like, obviously he
cheated, but he just didn't getcaught for it. But no, no,
I didn't want to be yeah,because I've seen it time and time
again. There was these guys,some of my roommates, some of my
friends that I met in college.They were still dating their high school sweetheart.
I said, you you brought sandto the beach. I'm like,

(21:10):
and I'm like, you know,like, okay, on the one percent,
maybe maybe one to three percent chancethat you guys, make it and
get married. Is it worth itbecause you got you got the whole rest
of your life to be together andbe married. Take a break, yeah,
like if it's meant to be tryingtrying new stuff and they're like no,
mos whatever, like I don't needto be out horn around and then

(21:30):
they get broken up with it's alwaysthe girl that breaks up with them,
and then guess who wants skill horringaround? Then then they go horing around.
I was like, Okay, welcometo the dark side. Everyone used
to talk about me because I wasin my whole phase and I was in
a pretty extensive hole phase for fourto five years, like like I said,
from nineteen to about twenty six,cracks you college. My whole phase

(21:52):
ended right around the time I stoppedgetting free health insurance. So you can
never go that way ironic. No, I was gonna say, uh,
I feel like though, the gaycommunity is so much easier like f because
grinder, these dudes are hornballs.Oh my goodness, and speaking and now
that you're here in front of myface, I can turn it on now
that I'm single, Oh my goodness, let's do this well, Like I'll

(22:17):
give you an example of how Ireally know firsthand of how this works.
So back in May, I wentto I went on a trip with a
friend to Chicago. Just scroll forfun. Okay, I went. I
went on the trip to Chicago witha friend and he's he's gay, single
guy. I love that. He'sfunny. We hit it off all the
time. We'll go to boys Town. What's Boystown? Okay, so you

But I mean that was still justso his his ass out there for you.
Some someone message okay this one.One person says high, another person
says high, and other I'm justin a deep So we'll save those for

(23:00):
later. We'll save no. Butbut my buddy was was was on Grinder
and getting blown the fuck up,where it was like he was messaging all
these dudes and within a span ofless than twelve hours he was able to
line up a dick appointment. AndI was like, that's wild, because
I've been on dating apps, twelvehours is a long time usual. He's

(23:21):
like, hey, where you are? Like when I christened to my apartment.
Uh, that was like a communicationthat I had like the hour of
like I'm like, oh, doI feel like having anyone over? I
have to get up, I haveto I have to shower, like I
have to clean up my apartment tomake it look like I clean my apartment.
So I was like, I letme just rearraing some stuff, put
some boxes and some shove some boxesin some closets and they just kept and

(23:42):
it was literally we came over,was like, oh, nice meeting you.
I was like, yeah, nicemeeting you. Two thanks, and
just close and then left and thatwas it. That was I'm like,
damn, so back to your friends. Sorry, Well no, no,
you're good. I like that becausehe well he was working. I know
this gay friend. By the way, possible after the show, we can
talk about it. I bet youwe had mutual friends. Yeah. Yeah.

(24:03):
That is how I find out ifpeople are gay. If I see
that. If I see a friendout in public and I'm like, oh,
I need to see his social media, either his Facebook, Facebook or
Instagram. Take notes, ladies,if you want to know I see how
many because I know I am backswith most of the gays in Cleveland,
if not all the gays in Cleveland. So I have like a friend list.
So if I go to one ofthe guys pages and they have more

(24:25):
than five of my gay friends onthere, I said, they either have
messed around there, they frequent thegay clubs, or they gay. Yeah,
definitely, But he was he hada work conference, so he wasn't.
He would be gone from I thinkeight am and he'd get back at
six pm. So during the day, I would just do whatever I wanted.

(24:45):
I'd go work out at the hotel, I'd walk around the city,
eat some chicken wings, like,I would keep myself occupied, come back,
edit some videos. And then bythe time six o'clock rolled around,
he's like, yeah, we havedinner. But then later tonight I got
a dick appointment, and I'm like, how the hell did you pull that
off? Like, but I justknow how. You know, men work
fast. I mean, think abouta bunch of us getting around, a

(25:08):
bunch of yous that wants to fuckyou, Like, what do you think,
Yeah, it's just gonna you knowwhat you want to do to get
another guy that's just like you.You're both into the same thing. Yeah,
that makes it makes one hundred andten percent. It's disgusting. I
hate being gay. It's it's it'sliterally disgusting, and I feel used like
it's gross. Is it the bigstinky man. Yes, it's gross.

(25:30):
It's stinky man. And I ifI didn't love men, I fucking hate
man. I hate you so funny, and it's so funny because I mean,
and this is the gay and me. When people say Chicago, I
say, oh boys town, ohmarket days. And to you, heterosexual
man, you know nothing about that. It's a different world. Clear it

(25:52):
will be the same thing, likeyou coming to me saying like, oh
my gosh, I'm having a pregnancy. Scarer, I can't have sex because
my girlfriend's honor period. Just puta towel down, and I've see I've
never well, I'm putting a toweldown and not periods. But like there
was a time when I the onlytime I went to Chicago was for my
friend's birthday. We call him Extravagazasor you know, extravagazes. We always

(26:18):
do some type of birthday getaway,a gay cation, if you will,
and we go to like a gaydestination and we party there for whatever,
and I didn't realize that at thetime. So Chicago has this gay district
called boys Town and it's just aline of gay bars, all gay friendly
shops in neighborhoods. And we stayedat the only little boutique hotel in Boys

(26:41):
Town, and I was I wasnot prepared for what I was about to
witness because the bars stay open tillfour am in Chicago, which is there
are our behind behind us, soit's five am Eastern times. Were you
closing down bars? They wanted to, but I was like, I can't,
guys, I can't. I understandwhere in a new place. I

(27:03):
understand it's a new environment is reallyexciting, but bitch, I would And
this was years ago, twenty sixteenmaybe, so what that. I'm like,
twenty three, twenty four something likethat, And I was, I
was over it. I wanted togo. I want to go back to
the hotel. And they're like,well, we paid our money. Because
every every club out there, theydon't care how hot you are, you

(27:25):
pay a cover. But I thinkin this particular instance they let us in.
Well at least they let my friendsin and I didn't have to pay
anything. So somehow they finagled thatwe there was a thirty dollars cover,
and I didn't want to pay becauseI was like, I was, I'm
not paying thirty dollar covers because there'sthere was this one club called Circuit,
I don't even know if it's thereanymore, and there's a free part of

(27:45):
the of the area, and yousee it has a big glass wall where
there's go go boys dancing literally nextto nothing. And I don't even understand
why. I think that the onlyreason why they wear like underwear or like
thongs is to keep the money inthere because they get tipped. Because you
can see everything, like you cansee shav you can see pubes, you

(28:07):
can see a pimple on their penisand they love them, probably had them,
but you could see everything. AndI was like, oh my gosh,
that looks like a utopia. Thatlooks like another world in there.
And I was like, how dowe get to that part of the club
and they were like that part it'sgonna be thirty dollars And I don't remember
how it went because I was beyonddrunk at this time. My friend he
must have paid or he talked tothe dude and he led us through and

(28:30):
we got to party in this cluband they wanted to close down the pitch.
It was already like two and I'mlike, all right, well I
parted enough. It's three o'clock Easterntime. I'm ready to go home,
and like, we got two morehours? What are you talking about.
I was like, I'm not stayinghere two more hours. So I'm mad.
I'm like, I'm walking home.I've never been in Chicago before,
so I'm walking home, looking atmy navigation, crying into my phone.

(28:51):
It's December, by the way,so yeah, it's crazy cold. And
another one of those things where mygay senses kicked in, like okay,
I'm here, I need to gohome, not focus on anything else.
Same same thing when I would likewalk home from WZP in the middle of
like at eleven PM when my shiftwas done, walking the streets to Acron

(29:11):
with my headphones in, oblivious,like could have got robbed to, could
have got anything. And doing thatin an environment that I know is one
thing, but Chicago, yeah whatthey call shy rad Yeah, but yeah,
good times to be had though,super good times. So I recommend
you go back. You could bea dancer. At Hydrate. That's that's
like they're no. The one wewent to was called Circuit, and I

(29:34):
think Circuit closed down, but therewas another place I know it still open.
It's called Hydrate, and Hydrate isjust like it like it sounds a
bunch of thirsty ass men and theyhave little go go boys that dance on
there. So if times get hard, don't you worry. You'll be just
fine. I'd never thought of itlike that, to be honest, I
don't even know if my moves arethat good though. They don't care about

(29:56):
I mean, they probably would carea little bit, but all you gotta
do is and then they'll say,oh, he's just straight. It's fine
you that that is your getaway cardfor everything. I oom, sorry,
I don't know. I don't knowgay etiquette. I don't know how to
shake my ass. Can you guysteach me how to shake my ass?
But they just want to see themmuscles and yep and the shirtless or if
you, you know, crush oneof those beers on your head and then

(30:17):
drink it like don't go Steve Bostonstyle. You can do that too.
Oh that that's my bread and butter. I can do that you can't do
that that's not hard at all.Is at your drink of choice? Because
no, I'm a Tito's and sodahorror. But I was gonna say it
because on your podcast you do thissegment which I love great marketing mixing with
Nixon. If you have a namewith a literation, Like if you have

(30:37):
a title with a literation and ithas your name in it, then fantastic.
You do the segment where you meetdo you create the cocktails or you
take a recipes and just have peopletry them or what It's kind of a
mix of both. Sometimes I'll makeup my own drink or like I'll look
up a concept or an idea,but then I'll just tweak the recipes for

(30:57):
my own liking. And you know, typically I always add a little bit
more alcohol than what the recipe online calls for. But then like two,
if I had whoever's over to havethe drink with me, I typically
like to ask, like, what'stheir preferred drink of choice? Because like,
for example, like if you cameover and I made you something with
like gin and you hate gin,that's not going to be any fun for

(31:18):
you know you gin? Just I'mokay with Gin, it just doesn't get
me drunk for long, Like ittastes like a pine tree, so and
then like it just I stay drunkfor like twenty minutes and then it's gone.
So I don't I don't really fuckwith Gin like that anymore. But
the ship that you may out putback the curtain, because I already did
his podcast. That shit that youmade me on your on your show was

(31:40):
fucking delicious. I don't know whatthat was, but I need to make
that in my everyday live because thatwas good. It wasn't really much into
it. I mean it was theorange cream cicle, whip cream vodka Pinnacle.
You can get that for like tenbucks, a little bit of orange
juice books since college, Well,I was looking for smearing off whip cream,
but I couldn't find that, soI was like, fuck, I'm

(32:00):
just settling for Pinnacle, but whocares. And then a little bit of
orange juice, like an ounce orso, and then adding the whip cream
to the drink and kind of shakeit up so that way it gets all
foamy. And then just topped Itopped it with a little bit of sprite.
I mean, I love a goodfoam and I love a good top,
so fantastic. I'm glad you enjoyedit. I mean again, that

(32:21):
was a suggestion from a friend though, because you know, again, I've
always asked people like, hey,what should I try to make next,
or what do you think would begood? And my one friend was like,
hey, we made these orange creamcicles. You should give it a
go, And I said, youknow, sounds good because at the end
of the day, like, there'sso many fucking drinks out there, you
know, so it's like that,that's not like I'm ever gonna run out
of an idea or like do yourbartender friends mind you guys. I thought

(32:44):
he was a bartender because he frequentsthis neighborhood bar in Lakewood, and we
can plug them because if people gothere from this podcast and fantastic, tell
them that you came here because ofthe pound Take podcast. But Quirky's it's
right there in Lakewood, And nowas a Lakewood resident, I might peep
this bar a little more often becauseI think I've only been there once or
twice. But I thought that youbartend it at the bar because I would

(33:05):
always see your stories and you're alwaysat quirkies, and I'm like, what
the fuck? Yeah, And whenyou know how to make all these drinks,
I'm like, okay, it makessense. Bartender mixing with Nixon fantastic.
They're gonna blow up with business there. And You're like, oh no,
I just go there all the time. I'm just a regular. I
used I used to bartend at Chilies. That's how I learned how to like
do everything. But quirkis though,that's just like, you know, the

(33:28):
neighborhood bar to hang out. Youlive alone, you don't want to you
know, it's Thursday night at eighto'clock, you're kind of bored, you've
been sitting at home all week afteryou know whatever you did. All right,
let's just pop into corks see who'sthere, have a drink or two,
and sometimes the night just gets awayfrom you. And it's one of
those places where I think you wouldreally like it because like it's just such

(33:49):
I love a good dive bar,yeah, yeah, And it's a good
variety of people, all walks oflife, like you you got old people,
you got young people, you gotDive bars are the type of bars
I want to go to when Iwant to have a drink. A gay
club is something I want to goto when I want too gay, Like,
yeah, I have to be inthe mood to gay. Like if
people don't think it doesn't take effort, but it does. Like I'm all

(34:10):
about, you know, the vibeand the and the energy and the atmosphere
of the whole environment. And sometimesI'm like, I don't want to go
to a gay club tonight because it'sa whole thing. But if I go
to a dive bar, no one'sgonna bother me, no one's gonna question
me. Kids are the friends thatI have won't even be there. So
yeah, it's fantastic. So Iwould definitely take you up on that.

(34:32):
First of all, I love yourglasses. Those are pretty legit. They've
been my new go too. Yeah, those like I couldn't pull those off,
but you certainly do. What wasyour favorite dish at Chili's Chicken crispers.
I don't think I've ever had those. Oh, you gotta try them.
They're just basically chicken tenders, butthey're tossed in this sauce called honey

(34:52):
Chipotle and it's like a sweet,tangy, spicy and you get this like
ranch on the side. You geta couple of side like, you get
a couple of side dishes with it. If Chilis puts a fucking commercial in
this podcast, they better fucking payme, damn it, Like, because
they every so often there will belike a commercial. There would be what
we're talking about, and then it'llplay right as we're talking and I'm like,

(35:12):
oh, hell naya and it cutsus out. Yes, it was
like I say something chilies and they'dbe like and they were like, have
you ever been the chilies? Yes? And then what is their little slogan?
I can't remember how long ago didyou work there? Twenty eleven through
twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, sothat's a good amount of time. It's

(35:32):
pretty long. I worked there forseven years. Yeah, I was gonna
say, because I remember I sawthe video that you posted and they commented
on and I was like, giveit a shack or something. Put them
in a commercial. I fucked upthough, because I I said I fucking
love chilies in the review, likeif I did it what well? I
think it's because it's like a family, you know family. Maybe that's why
they didn't share it and that's whythey only commented on it. I don't

(35:54):
see. I don't like that shitlike they give you they need to give
you props and props or do it'sif you were there, did you get
tipped a lot? Did you enjoythe job? Oh yeah, I did
really well, I see you again, because there's a certain type of spirit
that you have to have to havea job like that, because people will
tip your shitty or they'll treat youawful, but you seem like this type
of guy that it wouldn't necessarily fadeyou. Yeah, it used to bother

(36:16):
me because, like when I wasyounger, there was a few times I
had to like I don't call meltdowns, but like I got fucking it heated,
Like I had to walk out,Like I would walk to the back
cooler and just like kind of screamor like walk outside and like do a
lap around the building. Because youknow, some people really were just so
rude. But then you realize there'syou know, that's a one off and

(36:37):
that most people aren't that way.Yeah, I used to. I used
to. Well, I had acouple of different jobs and before I actually
got into radio full time. Well, hell, I'm still not in radio
full time, but it is mypreferred career, but I worked at Hollister
awful experience, and then well,actually I also worked at this in student

(36:57):
union and made crepes. That wasactually pretty fun because I was a college
job and we were there with allour friends, so it really didn't seem
like too bad at all. ButI did bar back for a bit,
and the word I don't want tosay, Well, the place is good.
I think I told you in theother podcast. I may have said
something, but it's a neighborhood bar, and the bar is really good.

(37:19):
Like the people there, the peoplethat run it are fantastic, fantastic.
The bar is well maintained, everythingwas on point, but I just was
not. It was not the careerfield for me because I I let shit
get to me and I was notgood at my job. But it was
the first time I ever bar backed, and so when I used to get
criticism or people would like yell atme, it used to bother me because
I was like, I want todo good. I want to do my

(37:40):
job well, like I want todo my job well, and I was
not doing my job well, andso people used to say little shit or
like I'm taking too long or youknow, they would snap at me,
They would snap at me and justyeah, the way they would treat me
just used to really really get tome, and I was like, I
can't do this any longer. Andthen at Hollister it was kind of like

(38:04):
the same. It was kind ofswitch because the people, the customers would
treat you fine, but the employeeswere awful. Like I had a manager
that fucking hated me. I don'tknow why. I don't and I don't
want to play the race card.I don't know if it was the race
thing it could have been. Iknow it wasn't the gay theme because half
the motherfucker's in there were gay,so it wasn't that it had to be.
Uh, they just didn't like mepersonally, or I just didn't watch

(38:29):
yeah, the documentary The White Hotor something like that. Again, I
I don't want to say it wasthe race card. No, there wasn't
any other black people there while Iwas working there, but it was.
There was a manager that I reallyenjoyed and she was great, but there
was a guy who just he justmade my life hell there, and there

(38:51):
was another employee, So it wasonly two individuals there that made my stay
there awful, but in normal placesand those cases, I wouldn't let it
bother me. But because I didn'tnecessarily like the job, I wanted to
make sure that I could still dothe job because it was a means of
you know, you know, beinguh, being able to provide for myself

(39:13):
or being independent. It just meantsomething to me to do a good job.
Oh, I've always been that way. I don't care what the job
is. I want to try tobe the best at and so when to
be the best of my ability.So like when I was bar backing and
customers would would complain or snap atme and give me criticism, it would
really bother me. And then whenI would be mistreated at like my other

(39:35):
the Hollister job, and have themanagers or other coworkers say something to me,
it would bother me. But withRadio, I learned it doesn't bother
me. So I was like,maybe I'm in the right medium because I
want to do this job well.I enjoy doing the job. I'm passionate
about it, and the criticism Iget I take, but it doesn't make
me lose. It doesn't. Itdoesn't affect you at all. It doesn't

(39:58):
affect me like the list nurse.I take it with a grain of salt,
like they I've heard everything. WhenI was fat, they told me
I was fat every single day.Every single day I was fat, or
my hairline was receding. It wasreceding like any insecurity you had. My
breath stink like. It was likeany insecurity that you possibly had. If
I had an off day, theywould say it and it would come out
in in you know, uh,the way I would perform. You know,

(40:22):
sometimes I didn't have the best showand they would let me know,
but it didn't stop me from wantingto do better the other places. I
was like, I gotta get outof here, Like I was like,
I gotta go. I gotta gobecause I just I was. I felt
so defeated here. I don't feeldefeated. I use I take the criticism
and I'm like, look at menow, Yeah, I'm killing this ship.
I'm still here and you aren't.Yeah. And they even talking about

(40:43):
the podcast like you do it,you don't, you do it too?
And frequently I'm like, well,too fucking bad. Pay me then then
I'll do it more, do itmore. I you wanted to be a
full time job, sweet so doI pay me because right now I'm juggling
a lot of hats and I youknow whatever, Well, we only have
twenty four hours in a day.Yeah, no, I feel like that's
I think that's the biggest thing.Managers be like, yeah, so right,

(41:07):
I say juggling. Is that theright term? Juggling a lot of
hats or wearing a lot of hats? I think it's wearing a lot of
hats. See there I go again. But see it doesn't bother me because
I'll still come back another day.Oh yeah, well, I've said so
many things wrong before. You knowthat does My big thing for that I
screw up with a lot is ifsometimes because I think sometimes my brain thinks

(41:29):
too fast, faster than what mymouth can talk, and sometimes my brain
will want want to say two wordsat the same time, but I can't
decide. Oh that's how I gotthe withstain incident. I don't know if
you remember that, but that's Icombine two words to make one. Yeah,
and then everyone lets you have it. And that's the thing that that
is. You can't be insecure onthe show, because it will I could

(41:50):
everyone thinks I'm playing some character.I'm like, listen, I accidentally like
I am myself. Yeah, andI couldn't be any thing but myself on
air four hours a day, fivedays a week. So like these things
come out, you're gonna slip upand they will call you out a definitely.
So I didn't know that I didn'tknow the English language until I got

(42:12):
on this show. No one,when I say no one ever corrected me
on these words that would mispronounce frequently. No one did, and that's why
it ruined it. So it tookme getting on a national sometimes international platform
to know that, bitch, youcan't talk. And guess what my profession
is broadcasting. I went to broadcastingschool. I'm like, damn, and
you still have the fuck up.Yes, So I had to learn,

(42:35):
I mean, I want, Ihad to take the l L for me,
but at least if they're gonna doit and get content out of it
and at least let me keep myjob, So I don't mind taking an
L if it's a learning experience.Do you remember that what show you were
interning for that you were interning for, that you interviewed for that day that
you came in all sweaty? Doyou remember what that was. I know

(42:57):
it was years ago, but I'mjust curious if if it was anybody you
might know. I'm really trying tothink sweaty interview. Were they like ripping
you or something? On air?Oh? I do remember now? That
was the Stansbury Show. You knowhe's on the station now right? Yes,

(43:19):
Oh that's fabulous. I'm gonna saysomething. Him and the other guy
they I sent them a demo reel. It was terrible and they tore me
a part and I was like dreams. I was like, damn, I
might not be ready for this,Like this dude rained me. It was
just an internship though, how badcould it have been? I mean I
didn't even have an internship. Iapplied for it. So did you send

(43:43):
him a demo tape? Yeah?Oh god, I hope he has a
demo tape? Or do you havethe demo tape? No? I definitely,
I was gonna say, because literallythat was my job. Was I
not DJ director at that point?Did I not help you with the with
the tape? No? You were? You were done? Like this was
like my last like this was mylast semester, I explains, because I
wasn't there yet. I heard thisfrom another. He said that you came
in all sweaty and that they wereripping you apart on the air for some

(44:07):
demo tape that you made. Yeah, and you're like, you're like,
I didn't even get like the jobfor them, like shreds like that.
Yeah, they they definitely tore mea new one. And it was all
funny hindsight like, but that thatwhen you're hearing it and they're making funny,
you live in that moment and you'renot even there to defend yourself.
You're just like these motherfuckers like fuckyou. Like I was so pissed.

(44:30):
I remember I called my dad andI go, fuck these radio guys,
like he's asking to go to hell. Welcome to my world. I had
so many bad tapes and not onlyand now radio is a you know,
yeah radio is radio, but there'salso another medium. There's a TV.
It's visual. You know. TheyI all the challenges that I've done,
the embarrassing shit. I did notthink about the long term, like I'm

(44:52):
in this bitch for life, whetherI like it or not, because I
can leave, you know, ifif radio doesn't seem to work out,
or if I won't get on anothershow. Whatever I could leave, But
the videos are still out there ofme pooping, like I had to poop
live on air, or uh yeah, you didn't know that. No,
the I had to wear a shotcollar, I had to eat a Carolina
Reaper, like all these videos.I wasn't thinking long term, but these

(45:15):
videos are out there forever, Likemy little nephew is gonna be watching knees
for career day, Like are yougonna bring your your uncle poundcake in?
You know he's gonna talk about whathe does for a living. I didn't
think about that shit. It's outthere forever. So I have so many
embarrassing moments that will live on forever, and you just kind of live,

(45:36):
you know, you live in themoment and then you let that moment pass
because I get secondhand embarrassment thinking aboutthe embarrassment. I used to feel like,
I don't get embarrassed anymore. Ijust laugh at it. I'm able
to laugh at myself now. Imean, I think because I've been embarrassed
so many times, I feel likeI have a like a barrier shield shield
somewhat because I'm like, I don'tget embarrassed. I'll call it out,

(45:58):
like I've froze lie you know underin the game that was probably like my
most embarrassing moment or not saying lies. We're not picking up on cues when
I'm supposed to. Yes, yeah, yes, it happens to the best
of us, though. I mean, like I say this all the time,
like I don't care how good atyour job or good at anything that

(46:19):
you are. You can't be Supermanevery day, Like you are bound to
fuck up at some point, Likeit's you're you're gonna have an off day.
There's gonna be a day where you'renot one hundred and ten percent on
and you know, of course that'swhen you know the embarrassment or your slip
ups are gonna probably happen. Butit's just how you move on from it
and continue to, you know,try to put your best foot forward.

(46:42):
So that being said, I don'tknow if this is two person not and
if not. Outing you just leftyour your job, what plans do you
have? What would you like todo even if you if you got your
ideal position, what do you wantto do? I would love to just
work for some sort of media,whether it'd be like you know, a
famous podcast like the Barstool sports typeof people. I feel like you would

(47:06):
be great for that. And theyhave Barto bar Stool Sports Cleveland. Yeah,
they have practice of it. Butlike you know, a radio station
by all means, or take TVstation. I don't even care what I
would do either because at this point, like I don't need, you know,
I was lucky enough to have ajob where I was able to make
a good amount of money and Iwas good at saving amount of money.

(47:28):
Oh I know that, but Idon't need to make that much money.
I'm glad and I would be ableto just do a job that I'm passionate
about. And whether again, I'dobviously like to be like an on air
talent or be on camera on screen, I feel like that's like my bread
and butter. I mean, henceall the videos I post, you know,
I honestly I feel like you gotit like I I am not.
I don't even really like critique itbecause me critiquing it would be a I

(47:52):
can't be a you. I can'ttell you how to do it. And
that's what I would say, Uh, That's what I would tell, Like
the students back in at BP whenI would mentor them be their DJ director
I can give you the skills,but the personality is all you. I
can't tell you how to be aScott. I can't tell you how to
be your your it is your personality. Yeah. The mechanics, you know,

(48:15):
anyone can do that. Anyone couldpress a button, anyone could you
know, plot up? Yeah,that that stuff I can teach you.
But I can't teach you how tobe alluring on a mic and be funny
and and what's the other word I'mlooking for, Not entertaining, but charisma.
Charisma definitely interactive or you know,make other people interested in hearing what
you had and your And people don'tlook at it as you're selling a product.

(48:37):
You're saying you're selling yourself. You'reselling you know whatever. I mean,
You're influence, You're influencing others tofollow you, just like with my
whole uh orange theory campaign, likeyou know, every everything you know,
you could when your likeness and youropinions become you know, marketable. Yeah,

(48:57):
that's a thing. That's kind ofwhat I'm hoping for. But like
I said, at the end ofthe day, if I could just get
into some sort of media related field, I think, yes, that's great.
But I think the way you're makingout Elsie and do it yourself,
like making out Elsie and do ityourself, because I feel like you already
have you know, the setup,you kick ass logo, you have the
space for it. The only thingthat's gonna happen, I mean, this

(49:22):
is what I would think. Theonly think that's gonna I think it's gonna
happen is someone's gonna see your idea, want to clue you in on it,
and then you know, take apercentage of it, so they'll they'll
they'll be nice enough to get abig name behind it. But you could
do it yourself and and do agreat job. So but I think you
have it. So that's my opinion. That means a lot for real,
because I've just been winging it thiswhole time. I mean I started it

(49:45):
without really I mean I sort ofhad a game plan of what I wanted
to do, but every time,I mean, it's just been a total
conglomerate. If what do you wantto what do you call it? Like
a think pot? Like they're notall of my ideas, Like I'm just
the face of the ideas. I'mwilling to try anything, like my my
my by my bar Dad Jimmy Diamond. He suggests that I should try a

(50:07):
segment called rate your penis and walkthe streets and ask people you have a
dick pick? What did you havea dick pick or something? No,
like ask them like, hey,on a scale because that's like you're saying
your penis. I'm like, oh, that's for all fans. You do
it yourself. I do that.No, I'm not that bold, but
I'm saying, like, you know, you just walk up and I'd be
like Cody on a scale at oneto ten, how good do you think

(50:28):
your dick is? And I wouldsay ten out of ten? Uh,
it's I mean on a good day, a good everyone has a good dick
day and everyone has bad dick days. But today, I mean, depending
on the weather, the way ithangs, the color of it, does
it have a do I have alike a semi chubb going like, there's
some variables that go into it.So today is a ten out of ten.
I'm wearing my cute little underwear whereit doesn't contract it you know,

(50:50):
I'm given to am I. ButI'm wearing the good underwear where he just
sits and it's not it doesn't feellike trapped bunched up. Yeah, you
want you want that time. Youjust want the penis to sit lovely,
just like just you just want toyou wanted to roll out. You ever
seen you ever seen a nightmare beforeChristmas? Yeah? Remember the hill that
