Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We love going around the room. It's good to see
what's on your mind. Because I sit here and go
blah blah blah blah blah all day long. No one
wants to hear what I have to say anymore.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
So we'll start with you, Danielle. What's on your mind?
All right?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
So if you went into your freezer or your refrigerator,
what do you think is the like oldest date that's
in there? On something? I got stuff in there because
I just found a chicken from two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I'm hoping that was I'm hoping that was frozen.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
It was.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
It was in the deep freezer. So my husband comes up,
Sheldon comes upstairs. He's like, I just want to show
you something. And he's like, what a waste is this?
And I'm like two thousand and seven. He's like yeah.
I'm like, oh damn.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
So we didn't cook that.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
We got rid of that. But I was like, that's
that's pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
What would happen if you tried to cook it?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I mean, they say if it's deep frozen, if it's frozen,
how long does it last.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, the question is from two thousand and seven. I
wonder what it would be like to because since it consists,
see would be a little off.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
You didn't even try to cook it.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No, crazy, have you eaten something that has been in
for a long time in the freezer of not that
long and you can just taste it.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You can taste that the freezer, that freezer tastes. Yeah,
all right, two thousand and seven. We're gonna go ahead
to say you win that. You won that one.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Thanks, Hey, scary, what's up with you today?
Speaker 6 (01:21):
I was going to answer Danielle's question first. I was
thinking about that bottle of Yega that I have in
my freezer from the year in your freezer yea from
nineteen ninety nine. I've had this bottle and it's still
in my freezer, unopened.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I think liquor lasts a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Okay, all right, but my around the room was more
about a friend in need. And I don't know the
kind of advice that I need to give this person.
But he just got the job of a lifetime and
what he signed up for all of a sudden turned
into doing two people's jobs, because as soon as he
got the job a week later, they fired somebody else
in an adjacent position and took all of that person's
(01:59):
word and their job and moved it over to my
friend temporarily.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And so he wants to know how long he has
to put.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Up with this before he says, when you guys going
to hire a replacement for that guy you fired?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Why didn't he ask his supervisor or his manager that question,
because that's who has the answer the answer.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
He didn't do that because he's only been at the
company for about a month and he doesn't want to
step on toes or ask questions.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
What I would do, I would say, hey, uh, thank
you for trusting me to take care of these accounts temporarily,
but just to get ready to ramp up to someone
else taking them over. Let me know when that is
so we can start working on that, because I don't
want to be just hit over the head, you know,
overnight with this.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It's something we should prepare for. Put that into the
manager's position. Then they have to give you an answer.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Yeah, he's just he's trying to figure out his role,
his new role, let alone having to pick up someone
else's slack. It's like I'm drinking through out of a
fire hose.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Well, I know you don't want to admit that, do you,
I mean anyone?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
No, not so early in yea though that was the
intention all along, And maybe he just misunderstood the assignment.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well then they need to tell him that.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Yeah, he should just ask. I think when you have questions,
the best way to get an answer.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Is to ask it.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, but you also have to kiss their ass a
little bit, say hey, this is for your protection. We
need to ramp up to prepare to move these accounts
to someone new when you think it's appropriate. So let
me know when you think that's going to be. And
if they look at you and go, well what if
we just kept them with you? Ooh, then he now
knows it was the old bait and switch the whole time.
It could be that's how corporations work. Okay, that was
(03:30):
saying for a friend. Yeah, wow, wow, wow, Gandhi, what's
up with you today?
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I just want to remind everybody. We talk about this
all the time, but read the fine print. We skip
it so often and there's stuff that we are just
signing away without thinking and knowing what's right in front
of us because we're too lazy to read it. I
just got my least renewal and we had agreed to
a certain amount, and when I got the renewal, I
was going to go through and just sign off on everything.
And I looked at it and it was off only
(03:57):
by twenty dollars, but it was off, and I was like,
I don't think so we're going to argue about this.
So I wrote back and was like, Hey, what happened?
What's going on here? And the guy said, oh, I
guess our math is a little off, and they fixed it,
which is great, But I would have just signed that
thinking everything was on the up and up and actually
reading it. Read everything, guys, you have to We've signed
our lives away to a million different things.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Thank god it was only twenty dollars. Yeah, and you
caught it.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yes, it was only twenty dollars. And I felt like
kind of an idiot making a big deal out of it.
But at the same time, and now I'm not Nate,
what's up with you?
Speaker 7 (04:27):
And I was reading online Freddy Mercury, what are your favorites?
Elvis from Queen?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Do you know?
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Did you ever notice anything about his smile?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
His teeth.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
Do you know why you recognize his teeth as being.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Odd because they're very large? He has four.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Extra teeth, he really, Yeah, he was born with four
extra teeth, and that's why he's got that weird overbite thing.
Not only a great mustache, but a weird overbite.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
But he never had them.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Fixed because he thought it made him unique and it did.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah. See, look at that.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I was born with six extra teeth really taken out? Yeah,
I'm a last back here. They were all molars, so
I had the regular wisdom teeth that you have, but
I had six extras and they told me they would
never grow in. I mean, like last year, I got
the last couple taken out. Don't know if you guys
remember I couldn't eat anything for like a couple of
weeks because they were so impacted. They said these will
never grow in. You're fine, and then they started to
(05:18):
grow in.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Wow. Yeah, if only had a mustache, you would look
like Freddie Mercury. I do so cool. Yeah, producer saying,
what's up with you today?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I want to encourage people to learn how to apologize.
I feel like it's something that is so hard for
so many people and there's someone I'm really close with
in my life. I've had a long, long relationship with them,
and they can't apologize. Thankfully, it's something I'm okay at,
I'm getting better at. So it's maintaining this relationship that's
really important to me. But I realized if I was
just like that person, we would just have so much
(05:47):
built up resentment because there would be no apologies back
and forth. So I know it's really difficult learn to apologize.
It is an actual skill. It's not just I'm sorry.
Learning to apologize is a very real thing.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
That's a tough one.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, you feel that way, guy slight els Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Finally, Scotty B, what's going on with you? Hey?
Speaker 8 (06:09):
You know, I think our pets listen to us like Siri.
Because my dog the other day I went outside, I said,
let's go sayhi to our friend Boomer, because my dog
that passed. It was his birthday and he's in the backyard,
and Sawyer went outside and went right over to the
stone that's there and lay.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Down on it.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
I didn't tell him where to go, I didn't tell
him anything. I think that they understand a lot more
than we think that they do. So you should probably
be careful when you talk around your dogs. I think
one day they're gonna give us up. Was that, yes, yes, exactly.
They're gonna sit there and they're gonna say, hey, you
(06:46):
know what Scotch I said, and we're gonna be in trouble.
So be careful what you say around you. I mean,
they are very sweet. I think they have a very
good intuition. But also just just watch it because they're listening.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
They also watch repetition. For instance, if you do the
same thing every day, they see it. And so when
you do that thing you do, they always know what
you usually do after that.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Thing you do, and they anticipate that.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So let's say you flush the toilet and then you
run outside real quick to rub your ass on the grass. Well,
the dog if they when they hear the toilet flush,
they know you're about to go outside, so they'll run
outside to meet you. You see. And so we always think,
oh god, they've got intuition. Sometimes we were teaching teaching
them with every step of the way.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well that's true.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
Like I have Life three sixty on my phone, you know,
the tracking app, and for my kids, and every time
they come home, it goes and when he hears that,
he tears ass to the window and shakes his little nub,
waiting for somebody to come home.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Another thing about dogs.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
For instance, when Alex comes home on Saturday afternoon, he
comes at the same time, the dogs are already at
the door waiting and barking. So but it's in their
head that the timers, in their head, they know it's
Saturday at six pm.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
They do. And also when you leave and you leave
your dog at.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Home alone, the longer you're gone, the more your scent dissipates.
So they know sometimes when your scent goes down to
a certain degree that it's time for you to come home.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
They'll be waiting at the door. Is that wild? They're brilliant?
Is that try? Anyway, thanks for being here. As we
go around the room, let's do it again sometimes, shall we? Okay,
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We love going around the room. It's good to see
what's on your mind. Because I sit here and go
