to get to the bottom of this. Hello, Amanda, how
are you feeling on this festive Friday?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Good morning, Elvis.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Have to go.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
It's going well.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
So may I read the text that you sent because
we're trying to we found the commercial you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
We're trying to figure out what the problem is here.
May I? May I read the text out loud? Is
that cool?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Please do?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Elvis.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Let me preface this by saying this is only because
I enjoy listening to you daily. And by the way,
and aside, thank you, Amanda. This is an out of
love crap sandwich. I think you're hilarious, but there's a
Dura cell battery commercial running, and every time you say
the words I forgot batteries, it makes my teeth hurt

(00:56):
like I'm biting down on aluminum foil.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Luckily we have to skip thirty seconds button so I
can skip back to listening to the good stuff. Okay,
I just will let you know this may be a
little out there. Just wanted to get it off my chest.
It may be a me problem, all right, Can you
tell us exactly what it is about I forgot batteries
that makes your teeth hurt when I say it?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Absolutely? Okay, So I'm gonna say. You know, when Nate
does the horoscopes and he does it in that that
weird tone, and you're just like, oh, yes, well that's
that's kind of the way that you say I forgot batteries,
and it's just, oh, my goodness. I don't know if
they told you to say that or it's wow.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's so it's not the words I forgot batteries, it's
how I say them.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
It just makes you want to just like lash out.
I don't know, it hurts. It hurts your teeth.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
I wonder if your ears are more sensitive than others
to certain pitches or something.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
I don't know. Well, I tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Let play it. We found it and it's in the
beginning of this commercial. By the way, we love Dura Cel.
There is no other battery in my house right Uh,
just for the for the record, but you know, maybe
I did them a disservice. Let's listen, and we're listening
for the words I forgot batteries. Here we go, it's
Elvis got to talk about Dura cell batteries. You know,

(02:20):
the holidays are here, and with this time of year
comes the three scariest words you can hear. It's I
forgot batteries. Come on, make sure you don't okay, okay,
So I don't know, it just didn't bother me. Now, well,
hold on, we're not talking to here. We're talking to Amanda.
We want to make sure she's happy. She loves our show,

(02:40):
and you know, for once, we're trying to be customer
service forward. All right, So it's the so you're saying,
it's my inflection with I forgot batteries.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
You don't like it, Yes, sir, yes, sir? All respect.
You see.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
You know, if you want to talk to someone about
something that's bothering you, you say it like Amanda's saying it.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Okay uh and I appreciate that. So let me do
we isolate the I forgot batteries or do we have
to play the whole thing? But here we go. Okay,
let me hear how I say it.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Now, if you if you want to put the phone down, Amanda,
I don't you know, to throw up or anything.

forgot batteries. Okay, so okay, I think I say it
like this, I forgot batteries. That's how I say it,
all right, So how how do you want me to
say it that would be more pleasing to your ear hole?

Now I can't stand the way he says it.

You're causing You're causing a storm.

Speaker 2 (04:03):

I think this is hilarious, Amanda. Let's make that very clear.
They're saying it sounds forced.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Really Okay, Well, okay, here's the thing. If it's if
it's Christmas morning and we open up, you know a
gift that needs batteries, I'm like, oh, I forgot the batteries.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Is it better like that.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I have to think about that.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
No, No, you know what.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
You know I always learned a long time ago you
should never complain about something unless you haven't a fix,
because that's what they tell us here at iHeart. I
never bitched moment about something unless you have an answer
to fix it. So I'm trying to Yeah, what's that name?

Speaker 3 (04:53):

Speaker 5 (04:54):
I think you should say how you want it to
be said. Let's they can turn about is fair play?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
And let's say let's say, here we go, you're opening
a gift and you realize you forgot the batteries. Okay,
what do you say? And how do you say it?
But you got to say it and you know out
loud to it.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Here we go, dang it the batteries. That actually is
very good. I do like that much.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
So Scottie, can I redo that commercial and insert dang
it the batteries?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Of course?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
No?

Speaker 3 (05:30):
I mean can you edit it like real quick? Do
you have it pulled it? Do you have the commercial pulled?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, I have it here, I have it the raw
cut here, you have the original raw cut? All right?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
All right, so let me know when I can record.
How fast can you insert dang it the batteries.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Let's see. Okay, you can hear it live. We're gonna
do it live on the air. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do
it because my mic is on, but I'm going to. Okay,

the commercial. He's taking out the line I read, I
forgot batteries, and I'm gonna see if this works.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
It's a live experiment experiment. By the way, Dura Cel
didn't pay for this. You don't work for dura Cel.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Okay, they say. Okay, people are getting like, really really picky.
I think it's the way the tea is pronounced. It
hits the teeth funny and causes a reaction when I
hear it, Amanda. Amanda had no idea this is how
her day was going to start, all right, So I
can play it, but I don't. I don't know if
everyone will hear it.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
