Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Okay, question, We're sitting in a studio room, a room room, yes, okay,
and there's a lot of us in the room, in
all four corners and beyond around the room, around the room.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
So what do we do we go around the room?
Is I know, you know, we've done around the room
for so many years and never really stopped and explained it.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Danielle, let's start with you. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (00:34):
So I have a list like it's a to do
list every week and then like I, you know, switch
it up and take things off when I do it.
I have something on the list and I don't know
what it means. Does this ever cruble to anyone?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Is scribbled?
Speaker 5 (00:45):
No, it's actually typed out normally.
Speaker 6 (00:48):
It's scribbled, and I can't read my hand running it
says file instructions.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
What the hell does that even?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
For?
Speaker 7 (00:54):
What?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
What do I have instructions for them?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Filing texas? I have no idea.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
I cannot remember for the life of me. And I'm
just like, do I delete this from the list or
do I just leave it there? Because at some point
it'll pop back into my head and I'll go believe it. Oh,
I know what that is.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Yeah, leave it?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Okay, so I'll vile instructions.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Yeah for what?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, no, but okay, let us know when you get that. Yeah,
I'll let you know, Sam, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (01:20):
All right?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
This has got to be the best part of being
an adult is.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You get the option to basically choose your dinner every night,
and it doesn't always have to be a reasonable dinner.
For the last two nights, happily, my dinner has been
French onion soup, hummus and everything bagel crackers, and I
have been so happy with that.
Speaker 8 (01:38):
I got a big tub. But when I went to
Costco last with Andrew and Gandhi and that thing, you'd
think I have like a small family with the hole
that I've dug into that tub of hummus.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
That's all I need in this world to be done.
It really tastes like, uh, I'll bring it in. I
will bring it in. It's so delicious. Yeah, I just
like house it. Cracker be damned.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
The point is, as an adult, you can choose that
to be your dinner.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, I'm a grown up who's letting me do this.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Absolutely love it.
Speaker 9 (02:03):
Everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I almost had a strawberry shortcake for dinner the other night.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Go get them it. Why didn't you?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Because the waiter looked at me and said, well everyone
at the table and said, well, we're ordering entrees. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I asked me, I have strawberry shortcakes in my entree.
The waiter agreed.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Everyone else at the table, you know, through sharp objects
and say you can't.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, if Sam can have humus too, nights in a row,
I can do strawberry shortcake.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
When you were a kid, didn't you used to say, Oh,
when I grow up, I'm gonna eat candy every day.
I'm gonna eat anything I want because your parents tell
you can't have it. Then when you get to a
certain age, you realize, yeah, probably you shouldn't have candy.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Everything that was college, that was what college was.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, as adults, so you can, that's the point. You can,
if you can straight and eight. What's up with you?
Speaker 10 (02:50):
Okay my antiquated phrases, Uh, we're not translated properly. Apparently
I was on with customer service for a company and
there was a noise in the background and we go, oh,
what's all the hubbub there and this person goes, this
is not the hub.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I go, no, that's not what they thought.
Speaker 10 (03:07):
I reached the central, like I know, hubbub as in
Brew haha. And then that just led me. I'm like,
it's just there's a lot of noise anyway, this is
my problem.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
So I don't know. I don't know if I just
have to stop.
Speaker 10 (03:21):
Using these expressions because it's being lost on a lot
of people. Uh do anybody vote that I just cut
back my vernacular? Yeah, we've already voted.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
We told you.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
No.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I don't think you know if it's old school vernacular
because you're just old. I don't know. I think it through.
I enjoy it. I get a good laugh out of them. Thanks, scary.
What's up with you? Today?
Speaker 11 (03:45):
I was reminded of something that I just cannot cannot
wrap my head around while driving, and that is seeing
the car in front of me with a window full
of stuffed.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Animals in the back.
Speaker 11 (03:56):
The back window full of stuffed animals they could not
see out rear view mirror once before, but I saw
it again yesterday, and I'm just miserable over it, because why.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Would you do something to impede your vision. Why would
you do something that could potentially put you in a
really bad accident or whatever.
Speaker 11 (04:14):
There's there's no reason for stuffed animals to be on
a windowsill.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
In your car.
Speaker 11 (04:20):
Put them on your bed, bring them home, do something,
just get them out of the view.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
It's just I don't know. I just I take offense
to well.
Speaker 11 (04:27):
I wanted to say something to this woman, but I'm like,
you know what, I'm just gonna mind my own business.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
No, you should say something, Karen, she should, Karen?
Speaker 9 (04:35):
Am I.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Other people's business?
Speaker 9 (04:39):
That much like the way you get so angry if
someone's wearing a mask in their own car.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
That's the most Karen the.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Other day, Why do you care?
Speaker 11 (04:46):
Dude?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
It's what is this because in their car with a
mask in the car window rolled up?
Speaker 9 (04:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
A second.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
When you get your life perfect, then you can start
chipping away at other people.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
I do question that though. It's not that I like
pooh poo it, but I but I do go. I
don't understand. No one's in the car, why do they
have the mask on? Like, I get very confused as
to why that happens.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Is there a reason?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
And start screaming like that.
Speaker 11 (05:18):
It just triggers me for some reason.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Now I don't know why. I don't know why. Scotty B.
How are you doing today? What's on your mind? I'm
doing great.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
I'm just wondering. How do you get stubborn old parents
to stop doing things that they really should not be
doing anymore?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Ask Nate kids, Nate's kids, Nate, can you ask your kids?
Like my dad?
Speaker 7 (05:38):
My dad was up on the roof not long ago
cleaning the chimney. He still does live electrical work, just
opens the outlets and starts doing it without shutting the
braker off. He changes his own oil under the cars
that could fall on him. He's a I mean, he's
a fairly frail old dude. He shouldn't be doing these
things anymore. But you know, how do you get them
to stop?
Speaker 8 (05:56):
You don't I have an answer. Unfortunately, something has to
go side. Two years ago my dad fell off a ladder.
That was the only way that we've been able to
get him to stop.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
No tip to the er, Yeah, why should push the
ladder over?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
That's exactly what.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
You can't stop him, but the ground can. And that's finally, Gandhi, you.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I got gut.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
I know we've all been in this situation at one
point or another, and I need you guys to help
me figure out a way next time to get out
of it. I have new neighbors. I think I told
you guys this. They moved in across from me. I
walked out. They come bounding over like golden retrievers. So nice,
but you know how it is here. Nobody talks to
their neighbors really, especially like apartment building one. They come over,
introduce themselves, They're super nice, and immediately she's like, we're
(06:40):
great neighbors, will help you out with anything.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Let me get your phone number.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
And I was like, and I gave it to her.
And now all I can think is I was pushed
into a corner and I crumbled, like an idiot.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
You don't just give people your phone number. How do
you get out of that?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
She's my neighbors, so she's directly they know when you're home.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
They do, and then I can hear their conversation and
they can probably hear mine, and I'm like, this is
too close. I don't like this at all, but I
can't take the number back.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Got to move your steaks. Hop on the wagon and
ride ride west.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Yeah, okay, fine, I have to move, that's it.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I had another person the other day to do that
to me. Not a neighbor, but give me your number
and they pull their phone out.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I'm like, what do you say?
Speaker 9 (07:22):
Because we have we have to have a way out.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
I know.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I told this guy, I know, I said, I don't.
I don't give people my numbers. I'm sorry, and he
got upset, but I don't.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I don't care. What are are there?
Speaker 7 (07:31):
You should? You should give me an old work extension,
so at least is a voicemail there. So they think
maybe it's you know.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
They don't have one of those you don't know about.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Old landline or something. I have all those things you do.
I could give them my facts number two.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
We could just give them an email.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
Hey, why don't you email me?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
And we give them an email.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
If you offered your email address, which is a good answer,
by the way. Yeah, And they said no, no, no, no,
I'd rather text you, don't you with me?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Text some more? You what's your number? And for the
second time you have to say no, no, no email from me.
Speaker 9 (08:03):
I mean, you're really bad at texting. I won't text
you back, but this email account that goes to and
Andrew will totally get back.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Do it. Thanks? All right, that was a room. We
went all the way around it. I think we did
a good job with that
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
