Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning show.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
We've done it.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
We've fallen down the Amazon rabbit hole. Here, hold on,
here's the thing we were just talking. I was talking
to Nate yesterday about chop salads. Right, who doesn't love
a good chop salad.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
They're the best. The best of the salads.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Is if you just put your cutting board out and
a knife, you can chop. But they have those Mets
Luna knives, you know, with the handles on it.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's like a quarter moon.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Oh yeah, it's easier.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
So we went online.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I'm like, oh my god, you can get the metsa
Luna knife with the matching ball, so if it's right
into the like the ball. So I ordered one of those,
and then I'm like, wait, I want to go make
a protein shake. But every time I put peanut butter
in there, it kind of gets globby and sticks to

(00:56):
the sides. Then Nate says, well, there's there's that outer.
It's peanut butter powder with extra protein bbe fit.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
The thing has forty million likes, and I went, okay,
I'll buy that. And so while you guys are listening
to a song and some commercials. We were all frantically
trying to beat each other to the punch on all
these items because like that Metzali bowl only had four left.
I'm like, oh my god, I got to do right. No, really,
we had to raise each other to see who could
get the kid.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
I can't even find it. I'm so annoying.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I found it. I have a question, is there really
four left?

Speaker 5 (01:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
No, do that because I need to believe. I need
to believe.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
It's like when I just scary those those commercials for
the first fifteen collars you give a free.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Really, it's gotta be more than four.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
It makes it's a call to action to make you
act quicker.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Because and I did it creates I had to get.
I'm going to order two so I can just give
you one, John.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Dy No, I just want this thing. Chopper and bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, it's called Mason and something.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Coal and Mason.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, Coal and Mason.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's an acossia wood bowl with the Metsaluna knife.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
You go, oh, hold on mine says only nineteen in
stock order soon.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, okay, I was exaggerating for the show. Thank you Daniels.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Oh I see it?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Is it? Coal? Cole and Mason or Colon Mason Mason.

Speaker 7 (02:24):
Knife.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
It's a different looks.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
It's not cheap, though it's expensive.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I know, but chopped salads are good for you, and
I think it's going to pay for itself after I
use it twice and put it to masemon.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
It is funny though a chopped salad t is way
better than a salad where you got it, puts it dress.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
It gets more onto every piece. See, I have two
salads I love.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Either the chop salad so you can just you know,
use your fork, and then there's the head of lettuce,
like the what's it called the website where you're actually
seeing a massive choke of letter. I don't want anything
in between. It's got either be one choke of lettuce
or fifty million chunks of lettuce.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I can't wait a week. It's a weekend of chop salade.
What's Gandhi?

Speaker 7 (03:07):
I went to check out in my subtotal is like
sixteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Apparently I've just been putting that.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Part Willy Nilly, I found stuff. You found that psychedelic
pepper grinder.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Pepperrin.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Amazon is the evil devil and I can't wait to
sign on later.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
What sketty it is?

Speaker 6 (03:24):
Because I was looking for an onion chopper the other
day and then when I went to go check out,
it said people who bought this item also bought these,
And I did you a strawberry huller, an avocado slicer,
and a potato nasher, And.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I'm like, you don't any of them.

Speaker 8 (03:38):
Don't we call it a knife?

Speaker 3 (03:40):
We called it a knife. I am the onion chopper
in my house. No, you thing is a strawberry hole
aer you just cut it with a knife. It's just
it's right there. It's a little knife.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
You know what I bought the other day?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
You know when you go to the mall and they
have like those balloons there in the shapes of dogs
and animals, and they have strings and you can buy
them for like fifteen bucks each at the mall or whatever.
You who can get a pack of like twenty something
for eleven bucks on Amazon and inflate them at home
and do it yourself. And I'm thinking this would be
good at like, you know, concerts in the neighborhood. I

(04:11):
could sell these things and get some extra money because
this is.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
So cheap on Amazon.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And you pick in the mall so much.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
If you weren't afraid of clowns, you can hire one
and they can be They can bend any balloon into
a dog.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
You are right, they could.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
There's gotta be a there's gotta be a YouTube video
that shows you how to do balloon art. There's got
a man. You're in your fright of clowns.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
It's keeping you from a world of balloon art sales. Oh,
here we are talking about stupid craft doesn't matter. And
then so you know Jonathan Adler. You know, I love
Jonathan Adler the store.

A great story in Soho, not far from the old studios,
and no Jonathan Adler's got great stuff. He has these
canisters and they're all the great designs and they have
names of drugs on the side, like Heroin, the other
day Ludes, Kwaylud's a friend. When I walked int, do

Speaker 3 (05:47):
And then I have the the the beaded marijuana leaf

marijuana leaves. I think they're really pretty.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
They are.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
They're like buck leaves.

Speaker 2 (06:00):

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Hey, we've been talking about absolutely nothing for like ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Here. Hey, has anyone here made that marry me chicken?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
No? No, what is that?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I see it all?

Speaker 8 (06:10):
You know.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Look, if you're into food porn like me on Instagram,
you see these things roll by all the time. These
recipes merry meat chicken. I see all the time. It's
like chicken breast. You kind of crisp it up a little,
and there's cream and shallots involved and roasted tomatoes or whatever,
sun roasted tomatoes. It is called merry meat chicken. They
say if you make it for someone, they will.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Want to marry you. It's so good.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Okay, So I'm trying to find a recipe for blow
me chicken. I don't know I'm gonna find it. Or
how about this massage me chickens. It's just like, yeah,
go take my car and wash it chicken. I don't
know if you need thing's done around the house, Like

(06:53):
can you clean up the garage?

Speaker 2 (06:54):

Speaker 3 (06:55):
So yeah, it do a search for mery meat chicken.
It's right there, and I don't know. I'm sure so
one it has made it?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Can you call it?

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Text me now fifty five one hundred. Tell me about
your experiences with marrying me chicken? Why use a voodoo doll?
And why do I imagine like a witchcraft spell on someone?
We can just make them chicken?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:12):
All right, So I don't want to get morose or dark,
But let's talk about dying shall we Now, let's talk
about ashes. You know, you always you know, Okay, you know,
when I die, I want to be cremated. I want
them to spread my ashes where, you know? And so
I was thinking about this last night. Where do I
want my ashes to go? I mean, if you can

(07:33):
immediately without hesitation, think of that boom, that one place
where you want your ashes to go, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
That means you put some thought into it, Like Danielle,
watch this, watch this guy's Danielle. Where do you want
your ashes to go? After you pass away?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well hunted mansion at Walt disney World.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Okay, wasn't there a problem with that?

Speaker 3 (07:50):
People were taking ashes to disney World and they were
getting a little mad about that?

Speaker 1 (07:54):
I think so I think they were trying to put
the goboche on that.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
I think they have a policy against it.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I think they do a little bit by the
castle to a little bit.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Okay, Okay, so we should get like some little container
that doesn't look like an ash container, whatever that looks like,
and just just smell about just take a stroll around
disney World and just spread daniel all over the place.

Speaker 8 (08:16):
Little gotcha a little there?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Like I'm Pixie Dusty exactly. They'll never suspect any that's it,
mix it with glitter.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
They'll think you're just spreading around Tinkerbell.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Our friend, our friend Tom met a lot of colleagues
he used to work with at a bar here in
New York City, and they were having like a memorial
drink right to say goodbye to a friend who passed away.
And they were in this bar he loved to frequent
and so one of his friends said, hey, distract, distract
the bartender, And so Tom went up and distracted the bartender,

(08:51):
and his friend took their friend's ashes and sprinkled them
in like one of the planters, the potted plant planters
in the bar right there.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
The roof over New York City.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, I mean, so if it's just a little couple
of ashes here and there, what's what's the harm?

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Right, it's a last wish.

Speaker 7 (09:07):
I thought there were some like you have to fulfill
a last white.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Don't right? I don't know, Froggy, what are you thinking? Ashes? Where?

Speaker 8 (09:14):
I know there are you know what I would like
mind putting an NFL football stadium and where you know
where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play. I know people and
there's been stories of people who have tried to do
it at Foxborough Stadium and you get arrested. It's not
that they don't They don't want people like running around
just spreading ashes all over the place.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
I get it, I know, but look at look at ashes.
They really aren't that you know, granular or anything. They
fit just a little bit. If I mean, maybe you
get some bone fragment in there, there could be a problem.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
But if it's ashes, they you know whatever, scary ashes
where all over.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
The Brooklyn Bridge because I'm from Brooklyn and I admire
that structure and I always have.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
So yeah, so the Brooklyn Bridge would be a place
for me. Okay, you know they're gonna blow off eventually,
like into the ocean. Okay, Oh my.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Gosh, how crazy is this.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
It says that the Haunted Mansion is one of the
biggest destinations for scattering ashes.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah, that's fascinating.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Wow. But there's a bunch of laws about scattering ashes.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Of their laws are rules, I mean, there are a.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Surprising number of scattering ashes laws, not to mention Disney
World's own rules. To make this a complicated choice. Really,
there are state and federal laws for scattering ashes.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
I didn't know it was against the law to scattered ashes.
I mean, if it's like a body that hasn't been cremated.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I see.

Speaker 8 (10:32):
You take can you take food in the Haunted Mansion.
I don't like popcorn? Like, if you buy popcorn, you
can put some ashes in the bottom of your popcorn,
accidentally spill your popcorn at the bottom, and then they'll
never even know that you were spinning.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I've never seen people eat popcorn in the Handed Mansion.
I don't I don't know. We have a lot of ideas,
uh gandhi ashes.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
Where I have three places. I want to use part
of them to get turned into a tree. You know
you can like plant them in a tree.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, absolutely, part for a coral reef.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
And then I've told you this, I want to have
a little bit sprinkled into the food of my enemies
so that I can live inside them for just a
short amount of time.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Okay, okay, I'll give you a list.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Do we have a choice of like the urn we
have because i'd like Madame Liota, like that's the like
the you know, the the crystal ball in the Haunted Mansion.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
And then a little draw on the bottom.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
You can just shove me up.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know, you can design whatever you want. Danielle.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
You know, don't don't limit don't limit yourself. Uh Nate.
If you thought about it, where your ashes go, well,
it's they're.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Gonna go to all the places I didn't go on
this planet. And this is actually a business I wanted
to start. Let me see if there's some viability here.
I want to start a business where I take your
ashes and if you want to be on like Mount
Everest or on Antarctica, I take him there.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
How about that?

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Like you personally take that as.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Or like I hire somebody and he travels and has
a backpack full of ashes and he just scatters all people.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
The ash man.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
He's the ashman, the ashman, and he just.

Speaker 8 (12:01):
Go everywhere you can get it back together.

Speaker 7 (12:03):
It's a great idea, but I have a question. They're
also like a weird rule about traveling with ashes. They
know people have gotten stopped because they're not going.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
To be in one of those typical urns. It'll be
in like a coffee And by the way, ashes I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I don't think they take the form of the same
ashes you see in an ash tray like these. I
mean it's more of it is granular, it is sandy
because because you're talking about bone fragment, you're talking about teeth.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
This is gross, but anyway.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Crazy that that was once a person though, or a
pet or whatever like oh my well.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, I mean you could burn you know, anything, and
it turns into something.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
You can't travel with them, by the way, you.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Can't travel with ashes. Yeah, you check your ashes.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
You can't what you can't. I've been worried about checking
my ashes. I would want to take them as carry on.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
Got to do it, got to check.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I think you can.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
I think you can carry those on. I'm not worried
about I haven't thought about my ash thing. I mean,
I'm sure Santa New Mexico is one place, but also
maybe a nice beach in Turks and Caicos.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
All right, I'm gonna think it through. These are the things,
These are the important things we must have. You got
to write them down if something happens today. We don't
know where to take your ashes, like if you, for instance,
I have my my cat's ashes upstairs, never never spread
them out anywhere.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
There's this here.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah me too, And.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I'm thinking kitties like bored. She must have go somewhere. Oh.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
I put kitty on the bed sometimes in his favorite spot.
My kitty needs to sit in his spots on his
little box. I put on their ashes on the bed.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
I got Lynn on line nineteen.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Let's talk about it, hey, Lynn, even though it is
it's a morbid conversation.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Hey, where do you want your ashes?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I want my ashes flushed in the mall in the
Tri State area, or.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
You know, any mall around here.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, but if they get flushed, then they go into
the system. They don't stay in the mall.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
I want to be in the mall. Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (13:59):

perfect place.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
