SPEAKER_01 0:00

Hey, can I give you a really quick heads up before we start all the fun? Yeah, of course. So I'm driving up Coleman today. I took the hill over to drop back down. Sometimes I'll take Hoffman. Sometimes I'll take the hill over, right?

SPEAKER_00 0:11

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 0:11

Deer. Right in front of me. Like, thank God I was only going like 33 because I had the room, but I'm gonna tell you uh the Wild Kingdom is out today. And I don't know if it's because it's rainy and windy today, like it's a mix of both, and it's got them fired up, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 0:28

It seems like they get closer too. We were driving somewhere the other day, and I I honestly I don't remember where it was, and it it's just sauntering, like it's the catwalk. Excuse me.

SPEAKER_01 0:40

Oh, this thing was in a full run to probably go find a mate. Holy jeez.

SPEAKER_00 0:44

Oh, in my case, I'm like, I are you gonna move? Lady, on my time is what the deer is.

SPEAKER_01 0:51

My spot. Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 0:53

I'm like, okay.

SPEAKER_01 0:53

Uh just be dumb. I mean, because you know, who wants to text us this morning and say, Well, hit that deer. Thanks for warning me. Well, you've been warned.

SPEAKER_00 1:01

I haven't, I have not, oh my god, where's some wood? I have not hit a deer in 20 years.

SPEAKER_01 1:06

Oh, God, that's good.

SPEAKER_00 1:07

I know. When's the last time you hit a deer?

SPEAKER_01 1:09

It was uh when Liddy was three, which is four years ago. That's right. I was coming up over one of these hills, drop getting ready to drop into West Elmira from the other side of the river. I don't know, it was like old telephone road or something. I can't remember the name of this. Whatever. You know, your GPS goes, hey, this will save you three minutes. Yeah, and it cost me $500.

SPEAKER_00 1:30

Don't you hate that when you take one option thinking it's gonna be the better option and then it just bites you in the butt? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:35

Yeah. And 20 years later, here we are.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

I know. Mine was on the Miracle Mile 20 years ago, which Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 1:42

Because I remember it was so random, like a miracle mile.

SPEAKER_00 1:45

That's exactly I just moved here. I'm like, this is what I get. What a welcome to the twin tiers. And everyone in the office was like, Are you sure? Yeah. Miracle Mile? I didn't really know where things were at that point. I'm like, yeah, it's it was right by the Mark Twain golf course.

SPEAKER_01 2:00

Well, and then Well, you figure they're running because they think it's an open field. Just wait two hours until those golf balls get going.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Or they're ready to hit hit the 18.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

Or the nine. Do you remember? It's gotta be 15 years ago. Uh, right outside our window, the animal control showed up. They had to shoot a deer that got caught in the fence. Here we are. Did you actually shoot the deer? You don't remember this? All of a sudden we're just gonna remember that part. Oh, I remember that vividly. Well, the weirdest part was we're sitting here, we're just doing the show, you know, talking about God knows only knows what we were getting into, right? And uh all of a sudden we hear a pop, pop, and we're like, that's a sound you don't hear that often. Like, you know, you're not really, you know, and then we realized that they had to, uh, a deer got stuck in the fence and they had to, well, do what they did.

SPEAKER_00 2:48

Do you think that they took that deer home for dinner?

SPEAKER_01 2:50

I would hope.

SPEAKER_00 2:51

I mean, it's it's not like it's roadkill, it was literally right here, and they didn't It was a fresh kill on our property. Last night, my uh aunt was having dinner, she was hosting a dinner, and my dad and I talked on the phone. He said, I didn't go because she was serving venison. I'm like, you didn't even go at all? And he said, Nope.

SPEAKER_01 3:07

I am right there with your dad. Sorry, I know that this is sacrilegious to say here, but I am not a venison person, no matter how many. The only person that has ever made something venison that I've been able to take is one of Terry's buddies, Big John from the uh garage up in uh Montour. Yeah, he must marinade the thing for six months before it goes on a smoker. And I'm like, all right, I'll try a piece of it. And really all you taste is all the marinade and everything. So other than that, no, not a venison person.

SPEAKER_00 3:35

It's the same with meatloaf. Everyone says, Oh, my meatloaf is so great. My venison is so great. No, it's not. No, it's not. I don't, I don't want your meatloaf. No, it's not. Even my friend Elena said it to me last week when she was here, and she's like, Oh, but I love my meatloaf. Of course you do. I know. So the the the studio door was closed this morning.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

Yeah, I come in, I said, uh what's going on? Yeah, what's happening?

SPEAKER_00 3:59

And there's a very good reason because usually, even if I'm voicing a commercial, I'll leave the door open. I don't get embarrassed. I've been voicing commercials for long enough that hearing the sound of my voice, I actually love it.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

Talk more, Ellie. Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 4:14

But then this commercial request came in from one of our sister stations, which is out of market. Yeah. Now I have never heard of this business, but we need it here. It's called Hot Rods Wiener Wagon.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

Yeah, we do.

SPEAKER_00 4:29

And they asked for a sexy, sultry voice, which is interesting because it was the first time I talked this morning. Yeah. And my voice wasn't quite perfect. It wasn't quite warmed up.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:41

Well, the the the lines in the as soon as I saw the script, I was like, I gotta close the door.

SPEAKER_01 4:47

This is a little too hot for the producer.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

Yeah, the lines were things like um something about uh well, here, play the audio.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

You want me to go? Well, I give me oh, you want your audio? Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:57

I was gonna just to give you like a second, don't play the whole thing because it's very embarrassing, to be honest.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

I can't play it on that. I'm recording on that. Oh shoot. All right, well I was gonna give I was gonna get a uh a a music bed for you, some sultry music so you could just sort of reenact it. Here. Here, just go ahead. Give me give me give me a couple lines.

SPEAKER_00 5:16

Hold on. Let me pull up the script.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

Whoa you see how quick I am.

SPEAKER_00 5:22

Let me pull up the script. Hold on a second. What was the name of the business again? Hot Rod's Wiener Wagon. Oh, I don't have the script anymore. Because once I record it in some. Oh, it disappears. Well, fake. But basically, it was like everyone deserves a juicy wiener.

SPEAKER_01 5:42

I'm loving this. Keep going.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

At Hot Rods Wiener Wagon, we serve them up plump. One more line, please. Alright. Saddle up for the green wagon. Saddle up! I don't know. I didn't read the script. Yeah, yeah. Saddle up for the hottest wiener in town. This is why I had to close the door.

SPEAKER_01 6:11

It was too steamy this morning. Oh. Woof. Humidity's kicking off in the studio, too. We better dial down the AC.
