Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the morning show.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
We should go around the room what's on the minds
with people.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
In the room.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm starting with someone who's not in our room in
the next room, Scottie me. Oh, hi, what's on your
mind today?

Speaker 4 (00:14):
You know, if you're lucky enough to have your parents
in your lives, I mean I know in the moment,
they can be pains in the asses sometimes and they
are frustrating. Sometimes you just want to tell them to
shut the hell up sometimes, but you have to appreciate
them while they're here. Like while I was on vacation,
my dad came over to my house and completely regrouded

(00:36):
and cocked my.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
Entire shower because I was having a lead.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
And when I came home, He's like, I fixed your
shower for you, and that would have cost me thousands
of dollars to do. So I just want to tell
you to appreciate your parents while they're here, even though
they're annoying sometimes.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Do you think your dad Dick would come call at
my house.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
I think Dick would cock your house.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I love a good Dick cock.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Oh sorry, what, but you know what, You're right because it.
Scary has lost his mother, Danielle has lost her father.
So I've lost both of my parents, and yeah, celebrates them.
They can be parents because they're paid to be that way. Yes,
but yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
I can't tell you how many times I tell them
to just shut up, you're being so still do that.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
I stop doing that. I know, I know, and then
after the fact, I feel really bad.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Stop doing that.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
I'm going to My dad came over once when you know,
when he was alive.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Obviously did he call your house.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
He didn't call my house, but I flooded my house
and Sheldon was away. He came over and replaced all
the tiles from the ceiling. You know those tiles that
ceilings have came over.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I just did it.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, he just did it, just came over, rescued me.
I remember that.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I will tell you something about my mom and dad,
and maybe you can say this about your dad and
maybe Scary about your mom. Not yet, because it's it
happened recently. I learned so much about my mom and
dad after they passed. Oh yes, and it's hard to
explain why, you know, it started at the funerals, because
that's where people would tell stories about their relationships with
your parents and you're like, I didn't know that. Yep,

(02:07):
it's interesting. So yeah, celebrate them while they're alive.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
And I'll tell you I just ordered them these books
that will pop up at on Facebook. It asked questions
about their life. I yes, what a great idea.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, it really prompts you into questions.

Speaker 6 (02:22):
Yeah, it's it's like, hey, how did you meet your husband?
You know, what's that memory from childhood that always brings
you back to being a little girl.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Wow, those little things that you think about to ask
your parents but you sometimes forget about.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
And I'll probably read it at their funerals. Not to
be morbid, but I will. That'll be something to talk about. Well,
it'll give you at least things to think about. Yes,
all right, well good, Yes, celebrate your parents. Yes, Gandhi,
I got my dad.

Speaker 7 (02:48):
One of these.

Speaker 8 (02:49):
He refused to fill the book out. Instead, he typed
up an email that is like twenty thousand pages long,
with full, full essays on every question. And I was like,
I think I think I appreciate this.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I mean, if you can put it in your dad
is definitely a national treasure. Hey, something not quite sure
which nation North Korea got to hear that?

Speaker 3 (03:11):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
All right?

Speaker 8 (03:13):
We usually get out of here around ten eleven sometimes
if we're here late noon and we don't stick around
and see what goes on in this building. So much
happens in this building when we leave, Like what, oh,
the other day I hosted the CEO Club Awards and
all of these salespeople were here from across the country.
There are meals that are served, there are parties, there
are team building activities. There was a massuse in this

(03:36):
building day. Yeah, we miss everything, you guys, we miss
it all. We need to stick around and see what
else happens around here.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I noticed when we get home there's hey, lunch is
being served. I'm like, dude, what can't we not have
breakfast being hello lady?

Speaker 8 (03:52):
We get way more food than that.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
I mean, they have catered parties, yesh awesome nights with cocktails. Yeah,
and fans theme parties.

Speaker 8 (04:01):
You wear a jersey, you get something else. Like there's
a whole world that we don't even know about. So
maybe one day we stick around a little later.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, no, scary, what's up with you?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
So in November, when I was at my heaviest. I
went to get my blood work and it was pretty bad,
and the doctor said, I'm gonna put you on a
STAT and I said.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, not so fast. I don't want to take drugs
if I don't have to.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
He goes, all right, i'll give you three months, come
back and get you. We're gonna do your blood again.
Fast forward to last week. He calls me up. I
have the results of my blood test, which from from
a week and a half ago, and he said, I
got a hand it to you. I didn't think that
you were going to be able to do it. He says,
you're no longer borderline pre diabetic. You're a one C

(04:44):
and all your those numbers in order cholesterol is is
under the amount needed for a STAT. And he goes,
one hundred people have always come into my office and
I give them that same challenge.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
He goes, I didn't think you had it in you.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
He goes, I am shocked that I have to make
this phone call to you right now and tell you
that you defied the odds and I didn't believe in you,
and I'm sorry I didn't.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
But that's great. But also keep in mind, you haven't
eaten in format.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
There's that, so I just but but listen, he put
me up to the challenge. Doctor Joseph Puma at Sore
Medical on Wall Street. I love you, brother, Thank you
for believing in me. Thank you for not putting me
on the statin. But now I have to do everything.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
That because it's doctor.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
I went on the program all that, But I just
want to say one thing now.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I don't want to f this up.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
I want to be able to keep myself in order
because he goes.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I want to see you in August and see where
your numbers are at good. I just want to challenge on, challenge,
challenges on to make sure that I don't need a statin,
because that's all I care about. I want to keep
myself off a status. Do it so I don't know,
but it could be done. And if you put your
mind to it, do it. You could do anything you
really should. I wish you would do this year round.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
Yeah I wish too.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
But we get some good food in here, you gotta admit,
oh yeah, but you don't have to eat it all. Hey,
uh pretty sure? Saying what's up with you today? Yesterday?

Speaker 7 (06:03):
I mean, we wouldn't shut up about it, so you know,
thanks to pet Men's we had a bunch of adoptable
puppers in the building, and who doesn't love puppies.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
They're just amazing.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
But please, if you're going to adopt, keep in mind
how wonderful senior dogs can be.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
I my heart breaks. There's there's two dogs out there.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
One was just found in he's nine, and the other
one is just three, and he's been with the shelter
for over a year.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
And a half.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
Cis Go and Go, Cisco and Go.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
They're part pity mixes.

Speaker 7 (06:30):
And there's there's a sixty percent chance that a pup
will be adopted and only twenty five percent that a
scene will be adopted. Apparently that's like a nationwide average.
So please consider, because I know all of us if
you agree, and some magical world where my five year
old or your dogs weren't, aren't they just the wouldn't
anyone be lucky to have our dogs?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Here's the thing. Are there's so many you can call
them senior dogs or mid life dogs whatever, that are
up for adoption. Some of them have awful, awful medical problems.
Not all of them, I mean most of them don't
as a matter of fact, but the ones that do
you know that that that is something you have to
really really be prepared for. Absolutely. But the majority of

(07:09):
these dogs that are not puppies, they're totally healthy dogs.
They've got many years maybe several years ago, and not
only do they need your love, you need their love.
So you know right on, man, I pay attention to
the theaters there.

Speaker 7 (07:22):
I just I have a special spot for sedars.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
And when I go love me so much. That's why
I adopted you. I'll show you the paper.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Oh I'm the oldest dog in the room.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Who's second oldest, Danielle tobaly or is it scary, Danielle?
I think it's scary, Danielle.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
What's up with you?

Speaker 1 (07:42):
So I want to go back to the parents thing
for a minute. Parents, we worry about you. So if
we're calling you nine times, there's a reason because you're
not answering. Well, if I text you, you're not answering.
This is for you, my mom, because the other night
there was a stomach virus going around my sister's house
and so my mom was there and I was a

(08:03):
little worried that she had caught it or something. So
I called her nine times and she didn't answer. And
then I texted her and she didn't answer. So what
did I have to do? Go over to her house,
knock on the door. And where was she? Knights and
comfy on the couch in her pajamas, sitting on her phone. Yes,
And she goes on her phone goes, oh, you called me.

(08:25):
Let me look, Let me look. And he's like, oh
you did. I'm like, yes, I did, and I was right,
and I was worried about you. So please, if you
have a phone, if you have a smart watch, we've
given it to you for reasons so that we can
make sure you're okay.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
If you're a mom, if you're gonna call her and
she's sitting on the phone, have her put it on.
Vibrates the battery.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Even if it's on vibrating, she won't feel.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
It fortunate now.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
Anyway, So, and I don't.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Think that's a nice joke about my mom.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
So you did get it.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Pay Nathaniel, what's up?

Speaker 5 (09:05):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (09:05):
We all know the expression march comes in.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Like a lamb, lion out like a lion, Like a lamb.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Looking at the weather in the northeast, it's gonna be
kind of pleasant, So it's coming in like a lamb,
which means the end of March.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Is gonna be bad.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
No, no, no, it's if it comes in like a lamb,
it goes out like what are you saying?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Is statistically correct? Usually good weather at the beginning means
we got a little more bad weather.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Erect flowers, Bring me flowers.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
March point point is to enjoy the weather.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
It looks like, at least in the northeast, it's gonna
be pleasant, So enjoy the next few days of temperate temperature.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
It may be okay for a while, but statistically speaking correct,
how we don't know time. Do we have a few
moments or do you want to keep about because I'm
gonna give you something. I'm going to give you something.
So I saw another one of these things that makes
you go, okay, let me think this through. If you
knew you only had five minutes left to live, who

(10:10):
would you spend that five minutes with?

Speaker 6 (10:13):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Wow, I know, And I thought about it, and my
answers I had two totally surprised me. I'm not going
to say out loud, but it's an interesting exercise. And
that there were people in your life that you maybe
you've lost touch with, or you've had a falling out

(10:34):
with or whatever. Maybe you spend a lot of quality
time with the person you're married to or the person
you see every day at work. Maybe there's someone out
there you really don't see enough that you always get
charged up when you're with them. I don't know. Maybe
that's the person I want to spend the last five
minutes of my life with.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
I know.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Look, I'm not saying that you should totally discount the
fact that you're married to Sheldon and don't want to
spend the last five minutes of your lif with.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Him, But look at all the minutes you've already spent
with him.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
He's done.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I can tell you who I don't want.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
The reason the reason I'm bringing this up is I
was surprised by the names that rolled across my head
because I never would have thought of that unless I
was forced with only five minutes left. Interesting, I don't know.
Am I making sense?

Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yeah, I get it, I'm thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Maybe if this is someone you want to like, just
you want to let him know how you feel about him,
and it's not all positive. But I got five minutes left,
and I got to get this off my chest.

Speaker 8 (11:34):
I'm going to spend the last five minutes on Earth
in eight.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
The people I'm thinking of are not that I don't know,
all right, think about that I
