We were young, and.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
But Daniel was older than Nate and she had it.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
I'm pretty sure we had.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
Because to me, just like my dad just took me.
It wasn't a specific day.

Speaker 7 (01:57):
There was there was a time like grown up for
me where it was take your daughter to work day, yeah,
and then recently it turned into take your kid to
work day?

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Got it? Well, speaking of a big slew of kids
just walked by.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Do they have anything planned for the kids here today anymore?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
They just walk them around?

Speaker 2 (02:20):
How old is Hudson eight years old? Can he run
down of the Warwick Bar and get me give me
a martini.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
He will. So, Elvis, if you had bring your kid
to work day when you were little, what would have
been What would it have been like going with your
dad to work? It depends on which of his careers
he was. Was he the mayor at that point, Yeah,
but that wasn't a full time job. So what my
mother was like a to My mother was a paralegal.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
So I used to go to I used to work
at the the law office.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
She would, oh, that's cool. What about you? So my
dad drove a truck.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, so I went with him I think once or
twice in the truck, which it was a big rig
and eighteen wheeler, and it was you know, I will
say that's.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Where I first heard swear words was on the CBE
radio radio. Who do I swear the term eat curses
like a truck? Yeah? Yeah, pretty, you know it's it's
a tough job.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
And then I would go with my mom because she
was a receptionist at an emergency room. And so you
got the bite for working in the medical world.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
No, that's when I fell down a flight of stairs
allst night.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
But uh so when I was there, I would just
wait in the waiting room amongst all these people that
had like thumb severed, you know, seriously, that's kind of
what it was like.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
And then at the end.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Of the day I would clean up the reception area
because that's what something.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
She could have blood and vomit. Yeah for mom, Well
what about you? Gandhi?

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Well, when I would go to work with my mom,
I couldn't really spend a lot of time with her
because she was a boss. So she like always had
meetings all the time, and nobody wants a little kid
in there while you're having hr meetings, So she would
always pawn off on someone else, like her admin. And
then the admin would just hand me files and be like,
put these in a pathetical order.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
And I loved it.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
I felt so efficient, and they were like, oh, you're
so helpful.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
How about this file back? And then they have filed.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah, put it, line them up. It was great.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
What about you?

Speaker 8 (04:14):
So my mom was a school secretary at PS two
hundred and bens and Nurst, Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I went to school with her one day.

Speaker 8 (04:21):
I did a lot of standing around and I had
to make some copies and just hang around with.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Us in the school office was in the school office,
so they always brought the bad students in to see
the principal.

Speaker 8 (04:30):
Right, So, yeah, so we would I would see a
lot of kids in transit. But then when you know,
it was there was a lull. I just kind of
just hung out, you know, hey, make a copy of
this whatever, because I knew how to use the copy machine.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
And then my dad was at Connetison, so he took
me to what that is.

Speaker 8 (04:46):
Connetison is the electric company for the New York area
and uh, it's like PSC ANDNG for Jersey and vice
and and and so on and so forth. Anyway, so
he worked in the electrical field at Farragut down in
downtown brook By near.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
The Navy yards, and I went.

Speaker 8 (05:03):
He worked out of a trailer because outside the trailer
were these electric fields. So I was stuck in the
trailer with him because we was kind of dangerous to
go walking through the electricity.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
So wait, so did your father do that same line
of work before you were born? Yes, ah, now we
know where you get your personality.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
There's an electricity exposure with your dad definitely.

Speaker 8 (05:26):
Yeah. Who even knows what's going on inside his body
these days. He worked right there and it was kind
of cool to see that, and you know, I'd fond memories.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
That's nice, but nothing really of any substance.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
You know.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Garrett's mother worked.

Speaker 7 (05:40):
For Channel seven, the ABC affiliate, right, Yeah, she we.
I had a great growing up between my mom and dad.
So my mom worked for ABC. She used to schedule
all the commercials for the TV side, and she knew
that was kind of boring for me at times, so
she would just let me loosen the building. So I
would go play on the set of Reaches and Kathy
Lee at the time. Right, I would have my own

(06:00):
talk show set. I wouldn't have to pretend. I literally
have my own talk show set to play on when
they weren't recording. Then I would watch the news live
like you would be watching it on TV. I would
be behind the camera watching the news happen. That was
awesome and I think that's that's where I got my bug.
And then on the other side, my dad was a
manager of Toys r US, So I literally would run

(06:22):
around Toys r US like kid in the candy store
or toy store and just have my way.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Wow. Okay, so I've vote those were two great careers.

Speaker 7 (06:30):
Yeah, when you went so far, it's not a competition.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
What about you, Danielle.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
So when I went my grandfather, he was a real
estate agent, so I remember being in his little office
and like filing stuff. But he was also a train conductor.
He never took me on the train. I don't remember
that because I think he might have been done with
that before I was born. But my dad was a
food brokerage guy, so he would go to the different
stores and make sure, like, you know, the latoy products

(06:56):
were where they needed to be, and like all the
doll pineapp right right, right right. So I never went
with him because he was always traveling from store to store.
I don't know how often he was in the office.
And then my mom had so many different jobs. She
worked for a college at one point, she worked for
a morgue. At one point she worked. Yeah, she would
be in the morgue with when they would do the

(07:17):
autopsy in a hospital. I forget what the name of
the hospital was. I don't know if it was a
if it was a hospital, I don't I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
You didn't go with her, no, I know this before
I was born. Would she be holding the liver or
winging a liver like what did she do this?

Speaker 5 (07:31):
They would sell her.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
Come in.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
We've got a body that just came in, come in
and see whatever. I don't know. I have to get
more details from her because I don't remember what hospital
it was or whatever. But she did that. She worked
with endangered birds for a while. That she had so many.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Things that she did.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
So yeah, renaissance, But I never I never went with
her to work.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
We know Scottie b his father is a court reporter
still is right.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Yes, I mean before I was born, he worked at CBS,
and I would have loved to have gone there. He
went to the moon launch and everything.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yeah, he was a field producer and then he got fired.
But so yeah, he was to get fired. Was it
was last hired, first fired because it was layoffs.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Did he produce the filming of the moon landing the
fake one? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (08:12):
No, but there is a picture of my mom and
a bikini standing on the moon suspiciously. I'm not really
sure how that happened. Yeah, okay, anyway, can I see that? Yeah,
he's a scenographer.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's still going to make him feel weird, you know.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
And that's the guy in the court that would did
that on the little machine, and I was so uninterested
that anytime I would go with him in the courthouse,
I would find myself where the vending machines are and
we're trying to get people to buy stuff for me
from the vegines.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Are so slow and methodical and gross and boring.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
Yeah, it is boring, and that he still does it now,
and now he's deaf, so I can't even imagine what
he's taking.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Down wrong now a deaf stenographer fascinated by those keyboards
that they used.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
Yeah, I mean it's evolved so much over time. Like
he used to come to my classroom when I was
a kid and type the paper out and write the
kids names on the shorthand. Now it's all it's all digital, and.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
It's like my mom learned when she was a secretary.
She learned shorthand, so anytime she didn't want to see
us kids to see what she was writing, she would
write it.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
And I mean it's like another same thing.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
My mother did shorthand too, So you would look at
the back of a Christmas president under the tree and
it would have this little.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Is it. So one year I learned and then she
had to learn how to write shade.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
I think a snographer.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
She said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
My mom knew shorthand as well.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Maybe then they teach them in school back then, I
bet yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Women wanted to be at the workforce, so many words
per hour on the TYPEE.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
My mom would tell me stories in the sixties when
she worked in a law office. She said, you ever
see mad.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Men, the TV show at AMC's, It was just like that,
guys coming in drunk, smoking cigarettes, leaving for four hour lunches.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Sheet part of the typing pool.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
She was part of the typing pool, so they they'd
have her type up all this stuff because none of
them out of type, none of them knew knew how
to do anything.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
She would go take dictation to letter computers.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
No, yeah, she'd be on a typewriter and the dictation
machine was my favorite. I used to play around with
that when I was a kid. That was like the
first microphone I ever used, because it was like a
real little reel to reel machine, and that's what they
would recording to record over opposition.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
You know, my mom wanted to be a flight attendant
or a stewardess back then because it was such a
fancy job and they all dressed up so beautifully and
they had their hats and little hats on or whatever.
And back then, I don't know if you still have to,
but back then you had to live with the other stewardesses,
like a little campus thing. And my grandfather would not
let my mom do it. He paid put the money

(10:41):
down for the school, found out she had to move out,
and told her no, and she was not allowed.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
To do it.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah. One of my mom's friends, she was a stewardess,
I guess that's what you called them back in the day.
And she lived with five other stewardnesses and their place
got broken into and somebody stole all of their uniforms.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
So, Scotty, didn't your dad do something with cars and movies?

Speaker 6 (11:05):
Well, I mean not as a job, but yeah, he
has like weird old cars and they're all registered with
some agencies. So he does movies and weddings and commercials
and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
It gets off.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
I'm learning so much today, not like that.

Speaker 8 (11:19):
Idea, you know, since it's you know, it was the
whole bring your kid to work day. I just thought
of this, Why don't we do a bring your.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Parent to work? Would would freaking light it up? Here.
I think we're just bringing Can we bring up parents?

Speaker 2 (11:36):
If rolled my If I rolled my parents bodies in
here would be kind of weird.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
I want to see dick though, I want to beg
your pardon. I mean, why can't we do that later?
It's later, your parent to work should do it? Would
you bring your mom and dad? Gandhi? Absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
With a live microphone.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
