Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
firm Elvis to represent fifteen minute morning show. Okay, I

(00:24):
think you know based on my commute yesterday, we got
to talk about commutes today, like, Froggy, do you think
you could go demonstrate your commute for us? Hold on here, ready,
let's see all long this takes. Ready, hold on, ready,
this will be This will be a two way commute.
I'll go there and come back. Okay, go wow, Oh
he's going home, all right, okay, from the office and

(00:45):
now he's gonna come to watch and right now, be
gone for a Minute's where his bedroom is? Where he
park It doesn't park anywhere he's home. I know. I
thought this was gonna be fast. It's not funny anymore.
How big is this guy's house? He has a long

(01:05):
hallway like to get well, that's not cool. Well he
better come back with something to eat if he's going
to there's absolutely a snack of him back. Hey, that
was longer than I thought. That was a two way commute.
That was a round trip. It was a round trip community.
I went to the bed and then through the bathroom
and back here again. That's actually pretty good. Danielle can

(01:26):
you go do your commute for us right now. My commute, yeah, okay,
hold on my commune of the day, your round trip
commute to the bed it was yesterday was much much longer.
Hold on, okay, here we go, all right, soon as
a get a timer. Okay, it's running. I'm keeping it.
Who's got the longer commune? Froggy or Danielle? Were five
stairs involved? I don't, yeah, in a Florida home. Did

(01:48):
you take your time, Froggy or was that a rush
where you know? I took my time. I walked very
slowly to the bed, and then I walked through the bathroom,
through the kitchen and back. Any traffic on your way?
I did have to step over a dog. Okay, that's
that's an obstruction? Would you mark that on ways? And yeah,
I have to step over a sleeping Yeah. He was
telling them you have a long hallway. So that was

(02:10):
that was And Danielle is back. That was thirty three
seconds round trip, so roughly what is that sixteen seconds? Though?
I did? I ran up four flights of stairs, yeah,
four four I would love that I had. I was
in the middle of the fucking forest with my good

(02:33):
But why were you in the middle of the forest. Okay,
So I explained this to Scotty, be goes, why did
you have to walk through a forest? Well, where I live,
there's a forest right next to us, like some nature
preserved thing. And I could have walked on the street
to the train station. But it's two and a half
miles through the forest. It's only a mile and a
half mart So I'm like, fuck it, I'll just go

(02:53):
through the forest and wear my head lamp and just
follow the little trail, and it were. I did get
lost once. I got a little turned around because I
lost the path, but I still made it to work
on time. Police say the man was saving time cutting
through the woods when he was attacked. Ye. Like, if
you were in another home, though, and you saw that

(03:14):
happening at like three thirty in the morning, I would
call the cops on you right away. I will say, Like,
walking on the streets at that time there was nobody
out is really creepy. It was like a zombie movie, Daniel,
I'm waiting for somebody to start like towards me. And
that's correct. I would have thought you were, like you
killed somebody in the forest, honestly, and then you were
this is your getaway. I should walk out next time

(03:35):
with a shovel over my shoulder a bag. Nate, did
you send me a picture not too long ago of
some like wild cat in your backyard, like a puma
or bobcatcat running through my backyard and you're just out
there alone in the woods. You're crazy. Listen me against
the bobcat. I'll take me all day long against an alligator.

(04:00):
I'm going to give the edge to the allegation. No, no,
you don't know, and you don't know that if you
get a little duct tape, as long as you can
get their mouth closed, they have no opening power. No ready,
they have no opening They have no opening power. So
when they when they when they send the alligator trappers
in to get them, I've seen them. They get in
the water in scooba gear. They dragged them out of
the water and they usually they tape their mouths so

(04:20):
they can't open it. Invite anybody. They don't have any
opening power they have explains why no one is ever
killed by alligators. Thousands of pounds of closing power, but
not opening power. Right, But in a in an attack scenario,
I don't feel like you're gonna be able to whip
out your duct taping quicks mouth closed. You're right, I

(04:40):
don't know. I shouldn't speak, Roggy, take Caden and duct
tape him right now to see your duct taping skills. No,
that's okay. Yeah, and we're being honest. None of us
are dealing with scarier creatures than we do walking into
this building every day. That's the worst. Was there someone
like throwing molotov cocktails or something? The other deaths, things

(05:01):
lit on fire, were being her old at people. What
was happening yesterday? So I walk in and did you
see the guy like lighting ship on fire? Yes, no,
it happened right before I got there. So they said that.
Jim Kerr, who works for the other radio station, says, oh, hey,
I'm gonna walk into the building. I'm like why. He's like, well,
there was a guy yelling at people and throwing things

(05:22):
at them, and then he was lighting things up on fire.
And I'm like, oh, okay, I just walked five blocks.
I'm like I can get into the building. But thank you.
I'm like, this is crazy. Where we work is crazy.
All of a sudden, it did get crazy, which is crazy.
And Jim curse smokes a lot too, so for a
guy throwing fire at people, that's not the guy you
want to throw Its never like that. It's been the

(05:42):
quietest neighborhood for all the years we've been down here.
Rebecca is a real hidden gem for Manhattan. Yesterday, when
I was walking in, there was some guy because you know,
all of the doors are locked except one of them
when you come in the morning. So this guy was
yanking on the door like one of these back and
forth things, and I just kind of look to them,
and I was torn because I thought, well, clearly he
does not know how to get into this building, probably

(06:04):
shouldn't be in here right now. But I wasn't sure
if I just waited outside or running through the revolving door.
So I came in through the revolving door really quickly.
He definitely hopped in behind me, and the guy at
the front desk was like, just run, just come on,
I got you, Just run. I was like, what is
happening here? This is crazy pants. But Nate has Bobcats,
So now I'll take Bobcats any day over some of

(06:25):
the people in this neighborhood. Week you know, you know
who I I miss. I don't know. For those of
you who used to walk by rat Park every morning,
do you guys remember boxing with himself? Guy? No, there
was a guy every morning, uh, and sometimes you'd see
him in the early evening. He would just be in
the in the park and he wasn't like, you know,
working out. He was fighting someone and then like you know,

(06:47):
winning and and like screaming at dumb like you motherfucker,
and he was punching them. But there was nobody there
boxing with himself. Guy. I will go across the street
to walk to the other side of the park from
that guy, because you could become the guy that he's
boxed if you're not valid point. Yeah, true, Nate, what
were you saying about the bobcat? Okay, so yeah, the bobcat, Uh,

(07:08):
not that dangerous of an animal. I have heard reports
of pumas also known as mountain lions in my neck
of the woods as well. But apparently people will leave
them out as you know, pets or something like. They'll
they'll get to the point where they can't handle them anymore,
and then they'll just let them go on the wild.
So then you have these massive gosh, so you have
a neighborhood where people have pet bobcats. No, no, wait

(07:30):
a second, bobcat like a feral cat. Yeah, I thought
a bobcat would eat your dog. Yeah, bobcat is a
wild animals. Yeah, but they'll eat your dog, just like
wild hogs. Like we have wild hogs, and if you
see wild hogs, you're supposed to retreat immediately. Wild hogs
will attack you, and they're very dangerous and very aggressive.
They'll gore you right with their tusks. I don't have

(07:52):
any ideas. I don't want to get close to one
to find out. Oh yeah, I hope you saved a
lot of money on this house, Nate, know I didn't
put so much more into it, like hopefully an electric fence. Yeah,
against everybody. Don't you wish you you lived a little
closer to work? I do know. My commute when I

(08:12):
lived in the city was twelve minutes walking. Well, it's
about to get shorter for him by about twenty minutes
about that. Everyone's so pissed about this. Everyone's happy. I
have I haven't heard anything. What guys, do you really
think that's happening? Yeah? I loving it so but I

(08:34):
don't think But I don't think that they're gonna do it.
They're gonna do it um when they say like they said,
because they already pushed it once and now they're saying twice.
So what when are we supposed to be going? Now? Yeah?
I don't, I don't. I'm gonna I know we're going
to do it eventually, but I don't know when. But

(08:54):
it's still gonna happen, which sucks because I think most
people picked where they live sort of bay On where
we are, right, all of us in Jersey City did
because our commutant is what like eight minutes in the morning.
That's the best, not bad at all, it's awesome. So
what is it going to be now? Yeah? Yeah, and

(09:15):
you're only the shitty thing is you're only going like
what seven or eight miles. It's it's not seven, two
or three all the way up to Midtown. Oh that really?
Roggy can go to his bedroom thirty times by the
time we get to work. It takes about it could
take thirty minutes to go to to three miles around here. Ye.
And I haven't heard anybody mentioned anything about garages in

(09:36):
Midtown yet. Oh I have there like twice the price
of garage is here. Our company is not really giving
much of a ship about that. They're like good lucking.
That's the problem. I knew they were more expensive, but
they got to take care of those they're not. They're not, though,
because if they are, if your grandfather didn't and they
give you parking, they still don't pay your full parking
right now, So they're going to go part of it.

(09:58):
Good times, not only right, I'll need to get a
second job to keep my first job. That's great. Surge
pricing takes effect at some point too, doesn't it. Oh yeah,
that's another thing. With a triple taxi for coming in
to midtown now, Broddie, will'll be costing you more gas
to drive further. Oh yeah, absolutely, it's gonna cost me
probably another fifteen miles each way roughly. Yeah, you got

(10:25):
the best deal here. I don't spend any gas coming
to work through. He has to be careful because I
just give gas. I just read that there's over two
twenty escaped animals reported in Florida since Wildlife of duct tape. Yeah,
random exotic animals roaming Florida. Right, it sounds like sounds
like Nate's house. Like distance, I'm like, hey, yeah, that's

(10:48):
really cool. You know what, you do your thing over there,
that's all your place. You have it, and I'll stay
over here and do my thing. I don't. I don't.
Do you have any friends that owned snakes, like exotic snakes?
I did have one, but that was in in Souft, Florid.
He had a giant python that he was He was
always very proud to say, oh I could eat you
could eat a human. I'm like, well, why the funk
would you want an animal that can eat a human? Like?

(11:10):
I don't want anything. I have two cocker spaniels. They
can't eat. They barely eat their food. They're not gonna
eat a human. Nate, same question. Oh, Nates, it's not
on my screen. So all right, Well it was a
good show, guys. That was about it. Now I want

(11:31):
to find out about this parking situation. Very curious because
to me, yeah, that's going to be an issue. Okay,
let me know when we're done with the podcast, I'm
gonna keep this rolling. Yeah we're done. Yeah, we're done.
Everybody say bye bye. Fifteen minute morning show
