Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the morning show. Hey, let's go around the room.
She puts on the minds of everyone in the room.
By the way, Gandhi and Ghandi and I are the
only two are the only two laughing at what Nate
just put in the group text.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
So it's so funny to me.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I'm running a freaking daycare here, like people.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
No, you guys are fine. Other people that aren't normally
part of things. I let know because we have this
little group chat.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Going and I'm like, hey, guys, this is what's going right.
Nobody reads it.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Here?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Okay, he says, He says, we're three minutes away from
doing an around the room. If you're doing around the room,
I'm not sending you engraved invitations. We are starting now.
I don't. I don't have a PA system. I have
a text message chat. Okay, we're all here now, Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I like that type of communication. I'm in to it.
Keep people on their toes. Don't settle for any type
of slacket.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I got a lot of stuff. I know you're a
busy man. You're the busiest man in show base. Thank you.
You have to back out to that restaurant you're talking
about the other day and pick up that guy. Shut up,
you've got your mind elseware. All right, let's go around
the room. We're all here, we were abiding by your request.
I will start with Gandhi, Gandi, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Okay, we say this all the time, but I want
to say it again. If you are waiting for the
moment to be perfect to do something, stop waiting.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
You'll wait forever.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
I know it's a small thing, but I've been thinking
about redoing my apartment for a very long time, and
I've kind of been just dragging my feet on it.
I finally got it together, did it, and it has
made all the difference in the world. I enjoy walking
into it so much. I'm like, this is it, and
I'm mad at myself for not.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Having done it sooner.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So don't wait, you coul.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Die, get it done, get it done whatever it does. Look,
I'm the world's worst procrastinator. Why put off today what
you can put off tomorrow? So I'm with you. But
once you get it done, you're like, Okay, why did
I wait? Scary? What's up with you today?
Speaker 6 (02:01):
You know, if you're gonna leave a one star review
for somebody or a business, think twice before you do it.
You could you're you're ruining someone's livelihood. You know, people
get damaged in their Google ratings and they go down
and then people stop going there and then they close
down their business.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's why we have one to five stars.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Okay, So if something is not to your liking, don't
go from five stars to one star is so much.
If they totally suck and warrant it on every level,
make it one star. But notice a sliding scale. So
maybe you take a star away from them and you
make it four stars because of some disruption. But all
the times I go to the one star reviews on
(02:41):
anything Google or Yelp, I always see the reason why
they give it one star and it's something that is
so trite and unimportant that I'm like, that could have
been four stars instead of one. But people are extremists.
And by the way, yelpers are the worst kind of
review people out there. They got chips on their sho
ye yelps. Yelp has the worst the worst woman. Why
(03:04):
do you think that is they have a grudge that
they have an axe to grind they've got a grudge.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
The questions why them? Why them?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Because the community that formed that, that of people that
follow the Yelp app are just a bunch of angry
a holes, specifically people who who write awful Yelp reviews
the place quicker than anybody else Google reviews.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I respect, Yes, okay, I'll read a review. Where's this from,
Nate Yelp?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
This is our show on Yelp?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh no, well, apparently do this person says some of
the most loud and obnoxious people ever. That lady that
constantly laughs ha ha ha is so extra annoying and fake.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I stopped listening.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I stopped listening. Her name is Danielle. That show sucks.
I'm gonna listen to someone another show over these clowns
any day.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They gave us two.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Stars basically stars, guy, Yelp.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
People have their angry Karens in that community.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Specifically, if they didn't like our show because of you,
but maybe they like the rest of us, maybe it
could have given us a four star.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
List at least. My gosh, sorry, guys, we don't.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Want them listening anyway. Screw them? What gandhi?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Can I just say in all of this scary is
also the worst type of person because he lives and
dies by these reviews, right, he doesn't ever leave them,
so he just can't count on everyone else doing the
heavy lifting form. And he never reviews places. Even if
he loves them, he doesn't go and review them. So
I say, what the hell scears, I'm switching it.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Also, wait, he also eliminates a lot of great places
because they didn't give enough stars in his opinion. Exactly,
I don't rely on these stars that much anymore because
I know there's many ways to manipulate that that rating system,
you know, So okay, anyway, So I do what you
were saying. A lot of people do rely businesses do
rely on these ratings. And if you just start slicing
(04:55):
and dison without giving it true thought and being, you know,
more accurate, then you're putting people out of business. Maybe
Scotty be our special guest today. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (05:05):
You know this is somewhat related to skeries. We all
use open table to make reservations, right, yes, I mean
I don't know if everybody knows or not, but every
time you make a reservation, you get points and they
build up and I just got a fifty dollars Amazon
gift card just for making dinner reservation night.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
So I think a lot of people make the reservation
don't realize. You accumulate points, and sometimes there's bonus points
you can do, like thousand dollars reservations. If you go
early like me. If you like to eat a four
thirty in the afternoon for dinner, you get thousands. You
get a thousand points for reservation and it doesn't take
that minute.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
To get free stuff. All right, open table, do go
on there, check your points. Hey, Froggy, what's up?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I had to do something that it didn't feel great.
But my dad has been having trouble with his sprinkler
system and so it's on an app and he's been
messing it up on the app. I took the app
off of his phone. I put it onto my phone
and I said, from now on, when you want your
sprinkler's run, you call me and I'll set them and
turn them on.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
That's so sweet.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
They haven't broken one time since then. I don't know
what he was doing, but you know I fixed the problem.
I took you away from him. I felt bad. He's like,
I can't find the app. Now, I'm just I said,
just text you and you want them to run, I'll
turn him on. Oh I love that.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I wish we could break into people's water system apps.
Just turn turn sprinklers without the nose. Oh's this need
for power? Hey, Danielle, what's up with you?
Speaker 7 (06:21):
So you know I have two two cats, Fred and Dicky. Right,
and so Fred every morning three forty five, he wakes
me up no matter what.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
He knows.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
He's getting his medicine because he has some lung issues.
And he knows that he gets a little snack because
I don't like to give him meds on an empty stomach.
So Dicky comes along for the ride. She's like, well,
he's got a snack, I'm going to snack, do right?
But she waits till you invite her in. It's so crazy.
Fred follows me into the bathroom and Diggy sits by
the door. I close the door, give Fred his medicine,
(06:53):
give him a snack, and then when I open the
door again, Diggy will come in.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
It's the weird thing. It's like a vampire cat.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
She waits to suck my soul out. She's like waiting
for me to say Okay, Mama, come on, you can
come in now. And then she comes in. It's so crazy.
I call them Papa and Mama.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
And then they come in.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
It's the cutest thing. But like, I never met a
cat that waits for.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Permission for Hi. What the hell?
Speaker 7 (07:18):
She's very polite, polite cat.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
The cats, Yeah, they're not polite. What you did?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
That seem like they're waiting to curse you out.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, you're saying, what's up with you?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So when I moved, my husband and I treated ourselves
to a smart bed and one of the cool things
I thought about that was there's an app that tells
you how well you slept. It tracks your sleeping. Well.
Now I'm afraid of my own home because I was
going through the dates and it has tracked a two
hour sleep on a day that none of us were home.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Oh is there.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
A ghost in my bed? I'm just going through and
I'm like, oh, we slept so poorly on Nope, neither
of us were there. I have a ghost and Savannah
was not home alone.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Not only do you have a ghost, you have a
ghost that isn't sleeping well. Yeah, keep tracking that.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Wow, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
That is great and finally, Nate, you know what. We
love you. Thank you for getting us all together every
day for this little round the room segment. What is
on your mind?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Shit it okay, it's all happened to us. I guarantee
everybody in this room has had this happen. The mystery cut.
You either look at your hand or your leg and.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Like, where's this blood coming.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I got home the other day and I look at
my leg and it looked somebody had stabbed me.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
With a dagger and I got a blood. I'm like,
I don't even remember this happening.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
So yeah, so then I just had to get the
what is it hydrogen prooxide to get the blood out
of my pants when I'm like, oh my god. You know,
every once in a while, it just happens, and I'm like,
how does this happen?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It doesn't notice it?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Do?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I have no nerve endings in that part of what
the hell happened?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So anyway, it's all happened to us. A journal happened again.
Just be wary of that mystery cut and where you're
putting the blood.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
All right, we love you, Nate.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
By the way, here's another Yelp review. I love the
Elvis Drand Morning Show. I find it very entertaining. The
cast is very funny and energetic. The show makes my
morning more enjoyable every day.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Hey, I'd love to hear that
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the morning show. Hey, let's go around the room.
She puts on the minds of everyone in the room.
