Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the Morning show. Hey, I want to talk to
you guys about something I sent you all on text yesterday.
It's about a film called American Symphony John Batist. You
remember when John Batiste came up here and performed for
us and did the interview.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Oh, he was such a ball of happiness.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Was that the Seving Day parade?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
He was awesome. Also at the Grammys where he won Grammys.
I mean, we could go on and on and on.
So there's this movie. It's a documentary about John Batiste
and his wife Selika, is called American Symphony, and it's
on Netflix. I encourage anyone and everyone to watch this film.
It's so beautifully done. It's heart wrenching in places, it's moving,

(00:50):
it's about music and cancer, creativity, love. I mean, it
has everything. This guy John Batiste, and we knew it
when he came in. We knew he was the real deal.
You see this film, it will blow you away. It's
so beautifully done. We cried and we laughed, and it
is intense though, I mean, you need to be in

(01:10):
the mood. To be in an intense mood. It's intense,
but trust me on it. American Symphony. If anyone's seen it,
text me at fifty five one hundred, just want to
see what you feel about it. I can't believe. I
don't know. I can't believe everyone on the planet Earth
hasn't seen it yet. Well, I guess it's impossible. But still, Okay,
that's mine. Around the room. Is anyone going to try
to see it this weekend?

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:31):
I want after Violent Night? Of course.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Funny we watched both in the same day. We watched
American Symphony. Then we watched right into Violent Night.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Oh it was.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
The strangest thing. Yeah, it is quite the double feature. Yes,
all right, let's go around the room. We'll start with Danielle. Danielle,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I want to shout out scary for a minute. So
I spent the weekend with him. We had the best
time doing appearances together. But when I tell you, he
really does have a kind heart. There was a woman
who won jingle Ball tickets from us, but you have
to send them to her on the Ticketmaster app right.
She didn't know how to use it, She didn't know
how to put it on her phone. She was very confused.

(02:13):
He took twenty to thirty minutes and sat down with
this woman and put it on her phone for her
and took care of her and helped her along the way.
I was, I said, you are a good guy, so chefs, scary,
very patient. We love you, Scary. You have the patience
of a saint.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Thank you. Obviously you work with us. Awesome. But then
we'll go to scary next. What's on your mind today?

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Well, if this is an irony, I don't know what is.
We were on our way in today and a guy
with a license plate that read just be nice was
cutting in and out of traffic and weaving in out
of place.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
This guy's going to cause an accident.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
That guy was not nice. In the great great hatchback
whenever you were traveling up sixth Avenue at five o'clock
in the morning, just be nice.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Why don't you take some from your license plate? Well
maybe he stole the car. It was not that funny.
It's funny, how you know. It's really interesting where we
have sometimes listeners who want to say very very rude,
mean things, very mean things to us. You're just going
to go look at their profile and they're like, I
love following in Jesus's footsteps.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
No you don't like hashtag child of God?

Speaker 3 (03:22):
What?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Or just be nice, be happy and treat people the
way you want to be treated. And they say the
most vicious, awful things. So interesting, Hey straight today? What's
up with you today?

Speaker 6 (03:36):
Okay, it's proven. A study has just coming out saying
that one lazy day a week helps relieve stress, lower
your blood pressure, improve your life quality.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
So don't feel.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
Guilty about having a lazy day, stay in bed. I
know Diamond did it all weekend. I know I did
it a couple of for a while this weekend. Just
recoup and hit that reset button.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Amen. Okay, yes, amen, be late, but every day like seventies, Hey,
let's do that. One day is good for you.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Imagine what's seventy I got.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Let's give that our runs. Hey, Froggy, what's up with
you today?

Speaker 3 (04:09):
You know I got a bone to pick with the
free Form network. So free Form they're doing twenty five
days of Christmas and they've got a show on all
the time. Well, yesterday it said that Frosty the Snowman
was coming on at eight fifteen, So I watched football
all day. I got in the shower. I was ready
for bed. Eight to fifteen, I'm in front of the
TV and Eloise and Christmas Time was on television and

(04:30):
that crap ran over and I don't even know if
Frosty ever ran. I was so upset. I don't want
to watch Eloise at Christmas Time. It's okay, but I
was won my Frosty show. So free Form, you let
me around.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
I was a little bit upset last night. That's a
good idea. So you have a bone to pick with
a free Form network? Who's bone are you picking today?
Call me down here, text me now fifty five one hundred. Hey,
what's up there, producer Sam?

Speaker 7 (04:53):
So, I want to touch on my Friday around the room.
I spoke about quote an assignment that my husband has,
which is to make sure our do e septs to
date on medication. That must have ticked a box with
a few people because I was asked assignment. What do
you mean your husband has assignments? This is really great
for our relationships. So I want to explain we have
lanes we each work in. So instead of the tip

(05:14):
for tap back and forth, you didn't wash the dishes, No,
you didn't wash the dishes. We have our own quote
assignments in our house. Okay, so I'm not going giving
my husband like homework to do.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
That's just his thing. My thing is bathroom and kitchen Like.

Speaker 7 (05:28):
It just really works for us because we always know
whose job is what. So there's no you know, problem
with communication, So use whatever word you want. But if
you have this problem with your partner slash roommate, maybe
come up with lanes. You reach are in charge of
something else, so there's no problem with overlap.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, I don't. People perk up when they heard you say, yeah,
well we had we have assignments.

Speaker 7 (05:50):
They did not like that word.

Speaker 6 (05:51):
Let me tell you, yeah, you.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Need you knew the assignment. The assignment was, don't give
me assignments. Basically, all right, gandhi, are all of your
family members a guest out of town from your big
crazy weekend?

Speaker 4 (06:03):
They are the last one, which was Brandon left yesterday afternoon,
so yeah, everyone's gone, and then I slept the whole afternoon.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
It was glory nice.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
But on that note, I wanted to give everyone an assignment.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Canceled.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
I'm following.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, I just was.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Really thinking about a lot of things, and I want
everyone to try their best. It's going to be so
much easier said than done to live your life for
you and not live your life worrying about how you're
going to be judged or disliked or people are gonna
say things about your choices because you are the only
person who lives your life every day. They don't live
your life every day, So who cares? If you have
to make big decisions and things that might look weird

(06:42):
to other people, It doesn't matter. It's your life, and
make your decisions, live your life and be bold. And
I just have seen a lot of it over the weekend,
a lot of people saying, but what will they think?
Who cares? Who cares what they will think? You're the
only person that matters, do you boo?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
That's my assignment for everybody.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I guess everyone got that assignment at your party Friday
because no one gave a gave a well there's that,
and we gave a crap about anything.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
See you see who I surround myself with.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's these kinds of people we've we were It was
the most foul, wonderful, out of control party I've been
to in a long time.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
I'm so glad that you felt that way, because it
was a good time.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
It was great and you were amazing and I love
you and thank you, and I'll leave

Speaker 1 (07:22):
It there and I love you too,
