The Dana Cortez Show podcast begins now.
I consider all of us here in the studio pretty humble.Anthony A, I'm questioning you.Good morning, it's Dana Cortez.Show of Dana Cortez.
DJ Automatic.I go by Anthony A, a nationally syndicated radio host and a touring comedian is what I yelled at a guy when I thought my car was stolen.
I'm so disappointed in you right now, Anthony.This just isn't who you are.
So right now I'm shipping my car across the country and it was missing for a whole 24 hours.
Nobody from the tow service were answering and when they finally got through, I told this guy I was going to give him the nastiest Yelp review if they didn't get my car here by today.
Yeah, because your car is literally lost.
Literally lost, dog.And then he goes, well, sir, there's something I could do and that's what I hit him with. Do you even know who I am?
Worst part is he said, no, nor do I care.Sorry.Oh, so cringe, guys.I turned into a full Karen.
No, but sometimes you have to be a Karen to get stuff done.Did you get your car situated?
The car is arriving today, so it's all good.And I will owe this man an apology.
your car almost didn't show up though.What happened so last night I get a phone call and I'm like some random number and I'm like ignore.
I'm not even thinking of your car and he's like and he has a really heavy accent middle eastern accent and he's saying I have your car.I have your car and I was like no.I have my car.You got the wrong phone number.
I hang up on him and then he text me.I have your car.I have your car and I was like and then I thought about I was like oh he's talking about Anthony's
Your car would have been perpetually lost Either way you're getting your car back.
I've lost things but never a car No, and be careful when you spaz out on people because you know, you never know what anybody that's the thing You you can't treat people that way.It wasn't the man's fault that you probably oh wait.
I filled the paperwork out I just thought of that.I'm the one that did everything to transfer the cars.So is that why they're calling you automatic instead of Anthony?
I was wondering, I was like, why are they calling my phone number for Anthony's car?
Wait, here's the worst part.So you could just have anyone's car picked up at any time?You don't have to have ID, nothing?
It's a crazy world out there.You could literally just have anyone's car picked up.
You're paying to get your car stolen and lost.This is wild. I don't know, I'm trying to think of the craziest thing I've ever lost and that has to be- I lost my car, remember in Philadelphia?
Automatic, you didn't lose your car, you parked- I thought I lost my car but it got towed and we walked around for three hours looking for my car.I have a picture of me and Benjamin Franklin though.
No parking zone, I said don't park here, he said I'm parking here.They towed the car, he made us look for it forever.You should've hit him with it, do you know who I am?
All right, Anthony, National Day.Let's kick this one off with National STEM Day.This is encouraging kids to explore their interest in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Kids, if you want to get a job when you're older, these are the things you need to study.
This is a big deal.We are having to import people because we don't have citizens that are qualified to do these jobs at Google, at Intel, and with everything going on, You better get some degrees.
My hope is in the future because I was good at the science technology and that's about it part.The rest of it I was not good at.
We need some math majors, come on.
Let's go ahead and wrap it up on National Cappuccino Day.
And I didn't know what a cappuccino was.I was kind of, I thought I did and I said hot milk, right?With espresso.You said yes.Yes.
It's traditionally espresso with hot or steamed milk.There you go.
I would have thought I would have known that because I used to be a barista for a long time.But the place I worked at, they did more like wheatgrass shots than cappuccino.
And that's why you're a DJ now, because you don't know what a cappuccino is.
The Dana Cortez Show podcast.
What would you do if you found out that the person you're with right now was married before and they never told you?Well, that happened earlier in our down in the DM.Chris called us because his girl, Erica, was being distant.She was taking a trip.
What he didn't know is that she was going to get divorced.
Listen, I'm trying to resolve a legal situation.Chris, He doesn't need to be involved.I just need to cancel the room.So if you can just hand me over to a supervisor.You know what?
I'm going to go.Hold on, guys.I'm going to stop the call.What kind of problems are you having?Erica, Chris thought you were trying to meet up with Michael.Mike, how do you know about Michael? Full disclosure here.
I was married twice before married the love of my life DJ automatic Did you hear the way I said what I said strike three and I'm out no It's embarrassing to talk about your past.I'm embarrassed, so I joke about being married twice before.
I make fun of myself all the time.Self-deprecation is the best way to get through it.Well, not just that, because you know other people are judging you no matter what.You failed at something that you made a promise.
A divorce is a big asterisk on anybody's life.
Well again, you're always divorced.
And then leaving it off though, when you get into a new relationship, my brother actually just went through this like six months ago.His newest girlfriend just forgot to tell him that she was married before.And he was like, wait, hold on.
You were married?And he was going to break up with her.And then I told him, I said, why would you break up with her if you already have a good relationship going right now?And they're still together.
And she was very embarrassed about the past.And plus she's like super Catholic.You know, it's a big thing.
I think the marriage lasted like a total of four months.
We asked people to call and the phones lit up.How would you feel if your person said to you, you know what, I'm going out of town.And then you found out they were going out of town to get a divorce and they never disclosed it.
So to be honest, I think I would definitely stay.Talking about your past is hard.However, she would have to work on earning back my trust.And that's gonna take some time.
No, earning the trust back, I get it.That's gonna be hard.
Anytime a guy says it's gonna take you a while to earn my trust back, he's never gonna trust you ever again.Not at all, bro.Call me insecure, I'm out.No way.
Like Drake said, trust issues for real.
The Dana Cortez Show podcast.
Tupac, back in the day, talked smack about Quincy Jones.Both of these gentlemen, rest in peace, right?May they rest in power.And then went on to date his daughter.
Let's discuss right now, but first, celebrity birthdays, Anthony A. Friend and homie of the show, Tech N9ne, celebrating his birthday.We also have one of my man crushes and a great news correspondent, David Muir, also celebrating his birthday.
Poosh, Ice-T, and SZA, along with Gordon Ramsay.
Remember when you ran up on David Muir?Yes.
It was awkward at best.It was quite the moment.Okay, so let me tell you this story that we just saw online.Tupac talked smack about Quincy Jones and his daughter in a magazine.This is back in the day.Gotcha.
Okay, he called his daughter the B word and then Michael Jackson finds out.Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones had a father-son relationship. So Michael Jackson beat Tupac up.The King of Pop?
The King of Pop.Yeah.According to Whack 100 and Orlando in Tampa Bay, that Michael Jackson put hands on Tupac and whooped his... Now, Tupac is not a big person.
He was not a big person.He's a big talker.
Great rapper.Michael isn't too big either, but anytime you slap somebody with that rhinestone glove he has, that'd be crazy.Have you seen the man dance?
Yeah, and from what I hear, Michael Jackson was an amazing basketball player too.
And he's also a baby brother.Baby brothers know how to play.
True.Dude, I fought my brothers at least a hundred times.
So anyway, Tupac goes on to apologize to Quincy Jones because he wants to date Queerada Jones.They accept the apology and he was dating her when he passed away.I don't know if somebody called me to B word.Oh no.
Stuff like this happens on a regular basis to everyday couples, where you get in a fight with your girl's dad, it gets a little weird, and then the homies... But the B-word, Anthony?
He called his daughter a B-word, and then he slept with her.I think Tupac won the war.Dang.
Well, it's kind of like Ted Cruz got his wife called the dog, and... Oh!You know, I mean, it's true.It's true, and he's good friends with President-elect Donald Trump now.I don't know, Automatic, if somebody called me the B-word.
Could you be their friend?No.Well, you're a better man than Ted Cruz.
The Dana Cortez Show podcast.
I mentioned earlier that you had dumped me, and I've gotten a lot of messages automatic since then.
Always bringing up old stuff.
No, no, no.We talked about second chances, right?We talked about the fact that, I mean, I had another life before.I was married twice.I had kids.You didn't.You were just fresh out of college.Our lives were so different.
Yeah, and I understood your fear.But the second chance thing, I remember praying that we would get back together. And even though I did, I prayed for, I felt this connection with him, Anthony, like I can't even explain it.I'm glad that it worked out.
I'm glad my prayers were answered because prior, I had also prayed that one of my relationships worked out and it was not good.This was not a good person.This person was, I'm just going to say it, abusive physically and emotionally.
Thank goodness that that prayer didn't work or did it?
Oh, you see, I'm saying that unanswered prayer, like when you were yearning for that person back, even though they mistreated you, Dana, that you were just looking, you were lonely, right?Is that, I don't know if it's lonely.
You're, you're dependent.And because that type of relationship has, it had me so beaten down and caught up.And well, I, yeah, I think it's normal. I am a survivor of abuse.When I was being abused, I didn't know.
I knew that I was ashamed to tell anyone.I knew I had pretty much lost all my friends.I knew that he was keeping me away from my family.But I wanted to stay in this situation because he had convinced me that I couldn't survive without him.
And it was quite the opposite.Had I stayed with this person, I might not be here right now.
I went through one thing where a woman was moving to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of working in the fashion world, and I wanted to, you know, stay with her, and I tried everything in my power to find a job to relocate to Los Angeles.
And the whole time, she told me, hey, if you do go out there, I don't know if we'll still be together when we leave.
That hurt, and I was such a simp that I was like, no, I'm still gonna go.We're still gonna make it work.And luckily enough, she was hot, but not that hot. Aren't you glad it didn't work out?Yes, I am glad it didn't work out.
I didn't think Automatic knew who I was talking about.
Oh, I know exactly who you're talking about.
I know who you're talking about.
Because we hung out with her one time in LA.
I was hoping it would have worked out because I loved her.Sorry, but now I'm glad it didn't.
This is like six girlfriends ago for Anthony.Dana just confessed her love for her.
That was wild.I did.I'm just thinking, I wish that prayer would have... Remember when Anthony had her as a girlfriend and that was like coupling at its finest.She had a new best friend.
She works for Rihanna's company now.
See?Who knows, we could have Rihanna in the studio right now if that would have worked out.I'm gonna give you a rosary.Pray on it.Pray on it.
I need a new babe, please.
Hey, do you have any of those unanswered prayers?I mean, I'm talking about things that didn't happen that you're so glad they didn't work out.877-730-DCS1.Call or text the Dana Cortez Show podcast.
