The Elvis Duran After Party.

It's the after Party podcast. Hi, y'all, y'all do it? So, you know, years and years ago, we used to have this event that we threw from time to time called the meat Market way before you were here, Gandhi, long long time ago, before you Nate actually, and so at these meat markets get togethers, we would meet at Webster Hall or some other huge place a venue in New York City, and we would invite people to come to meet other people, singles, single people, and of course, you know, a couple of married creepers got in there. But we always wondered, like god, those many years ago, did they ever work? Did anyone ever meet anyone at our meat market? We would play games and introduce people and it was a very fun time. Well that was years ago. We stopped doing them. The other day, Scary was on I Think X and he saw a listener post his entrance badge number on on social media from all those years ago. His name is Joel. We got in touch with him.
