Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
So it seems like, Danielle, you and Gandhi have a
lot going on this week. Yeah, you're doing a lot.
We're very busy.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a busy week.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Frost together yees described to everyone listening what you did
last night.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
So last night we had a women's event for Women's
History Month, right, which is this month. And we went
to a beautiful rooftop and iHeart our.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Girl, THEO who we love.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
She threw a huge party and all the ladies that
work and iHeart got together and kind of mentored each other.
We talked about things that were important to us and
issues and stuff like that. It was very very nice.
I met people I never met before. I connected with
people I never connected but with before.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I had a great time, you know. And Gandhi's made
a comment about this yesterday. She said, you said, and
I may be sort of close to what you said.
You said, these events are great, but if guys aren't
hearing what you're saying, it's sort of lost a little bit.
It's information that share between all you, but it should
be shared with everyone. Yes, right, what do you mean
(01:06):
about that?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
So I think it's awesome as far as the mentorship
aspect goes, because there are a lot of people we
don't know, so you get to know people and it's great.
But women know what a lot of other women are
going through. It's nice to have that sisterhood where you say, Okay,
we're all going through this together. But if the men
never hear what we're going through oftentimes because we're working
in a workplace full of men that are maybe over
talking us or not listening to us or finishing our sentences,
(01:28):
how is it ever going to change if it's only
the women who are hearing these things. I just wish
that guys could.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Hear it too.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So we did bring that up last night in the meeting,
and we could say, maybe next year we invite a
couple of guys to sit in on this, like maybe
some of the higher ups that really need to hear
some of the things that these women are saying. And
a lot of people were like, oh, that might be
a very good idea, So maybe it'll happen.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
We'll see there you go, because I thought that was
a very good point. Yeah, there're no guys at all
into thing.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
N There was Danny from promotions down in the front,
pointing at the building.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
There's Danny.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Danny.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Danny's job was go this way, go this way, go
this way.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
It's here.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, okay, it's like Fana why it was so cute?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Okay, interesting point. I like that. Now today you have
another event, yeah, which this one.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
This one is with a lot of our clients, a
lot of our you know, our partners, our partners. Yeah that,
like you know, we've had relationships with for years. We're
going to eat steak with them tonight and kind of
just hang out and like we never get to see
them in that kind of an environment, so it'll be
nice to kind of just be relaxed and get to
chat and get to talk, and you'll talk about other
things other than work, which is nice, and other than
(02:33):
their products. You'll talk about life.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
So it'll be good. See you guys are very busy.
You wonder what we do after hours, Well, Daniel and
Gandhi are the ones who work. The rest of us
really aren't doing anything. Mean, it's not like let's get
all the men together so we could talk about men's issues.
Of course, you know, we really got it and then
we knew women to hear us, so they hear us.
(02:56):
You need to hear us.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
What was the appetizer we had last night that we loved.
I don't know, the one with the one with the feta.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh, fetta and tomato and avocado.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah, it was so good.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I think I would actually really appreciate hearing from men
issues that they had with women in the workplace. If
there's something that women as a whole are doing that
is driving you crazy because of whatever it is our
behavior is.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I want to hear that.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I like feedback in general. I want to hear that.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I could be honest, I can't think of one issue
at all. Okay, I can't. Is it mad? No? No,
I really would love to bitch and moan about you.
I can't. I mean ideas on a personal level, I
could right right, because you're a menace.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Because I try to push you into the on air light.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yes exactly.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I know you ladies have a problem with somebody blowing
up the bathroom, but I can't really fix it.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I think everybody I don't know's I don't think this
is a that's the forum for we have to hear
you complain about it. I don't think that's that is
the forum for digestive issues. You know what I'm say. Yeah,
I can't think anything. It's scary. Come on, let's complain
about the women. Yeah, the problem is we work with
great women. I'm really trying to, like mean, there's a problem.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
That's an issue. I know you guys are awesome, and
I don't get to see the other side, so I
wouldn't be able to even nitpick anything that's nice.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Tell us what you don't like about the little ladies. Yeah, yeah,
go in the kitchen, make me a sandwich, and I'll
think about what I've made to say about you and
how you don't really level up. You make a pissed,
poor sandwich. I tell you, I just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You're not wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So okay. I wonder if there is another industry where
the guys sitting around going, god, these ladies, oh, they
really are too much.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I think there are probably a lot, and it might
not even be that the ladies are actually too much.
Maybe you just don't know how to deal with each
other and communicate with each other. And I think, you know,
a lot of the things that we talked about yesterday
had to do with emotion and how women handle emotion.
In the workplace versus men, and I actually think no
offense to you guys, And I'm not specifically talking about
you guys. I think in general, men are more emotional people.
(05:08):
I think women are more open about their emotions. But
I've never seen a woman punch a wall ever, and
I think it's I'm sure it's happened.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Don't empower me to do it, You're empowered.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Came on?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
What I just you know, men will bottle things up
and then there's an explosion, which is not necessarily the
best way to handle it, and women are more Hey,
this is bothering me. Can we talk about it? Which
I think is often interpreted by men as being whiny
or complaining when you're just saying, let's work on this
problem and solve this problem.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I guess we're a little different on this show. I guess.
I mean, I cannot speak to how women on the
show perceive guys. I'm sure we're just guys in field.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
No, I mean, your name did come up a couple
of times last night, but in a very positive way. No, No,
you were in a very positive way because you embrace
and empower women, and that's not always the case. And
so you are looked in a very good light.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You know, it's still at the end of the day,
though I am a guy, Yeah, and I still have
guy traits. I still, you know, finish people's sentences. I don't.
I don't think a man's playing things a lot. Where
are you shaking your hand?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I actually so negative.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I don't think you finish people's sentences. I think maybe
it's from hosting for so long, but I think when
somebody is speaking, you allow them to finish what they're saying.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I can't even finish my own sentences there. Maybe that's
why I perceive to be a good guy, because I
just can't finish any sentences mine or yours. That could
be it could be okay, we're gonna give him a second.
One second. Yes, you're having a conversation. And Gandhi caught
me interrupting her.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
She was like, right, we would would were talking with
you and I and Danielle and we're just just having
a conversation and you were saying something and then I
just started my sentence and then you're.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Like you're doing it right now. See, this is what happens.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Guys overtalk women in the workplace.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But it's kind of you know, but it does happen.
I'm sure at some place I mean to do it.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I'm not saying that when don't also do it. I'm
just saying that there's a different kind of power dynamic
in a lot of places where a woman will just
back off as soon as the guy starts talking, and
they often start talking over them.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Which goes back to the very beginning. Let me do
the reach around. Yeah, at the beginning of this conversation,
you were saying, these these get togethers with all the
women and a lot of women in our company is great.
But if the things you're saying, the important facts you're
bringing up, aren't shared with the men, then it's only
you know, it's just you guys talking to each other.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
There was I'll give you an example. So we were
talking to somebody who used to have one position here
at iHeart, and she felt like she could say more
and she could put her input in more than she
can now in her new position. And she doesn't know
if people expect her to hold back now or if
she can still be as brazen as she was before,
(07:50):
and she's not sure, and so she's like, I don't
know what to do, so I tread very lightly. I said, huh,
that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So she's working with different managers, with.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Different managers, she's in a totally different positions, so she
just does it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, you know what to say. It rolls downhill, Yeah
it does. Let us go talk to Claudine high. Is
that clad? Claudine? Is that you?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Hi, it is hi, Elvis.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Well, hello, Claudine has an issue? What's that?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Well? So I do have a very difficult time speaking
up at work, just because I've been shot down so
many times with men. So yesterday we had a fretting
teams meeting hate teams, and you know, I provide a
calendar for everyone, and they constantly asked for dates, and
all I said in the teams meeting was the calendar
(08:38):
is posted above. Please use the tools provided. It's very
frustrating when you don't. And he immediately deflected and was like,
did you post this in the other teams chat? Like,
it's just I find it very hard and frustrating to
be a woman at work.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
And what is it only guys being idiots? It?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah most of the time, but it is
I just lately, I don't know if it's the current
political situation. But I, you know, finally decided to speak
up and speak my mind and just say one fact
and got shot down immediately. So, yeah, it is. It's frustrating,
(09:25):
But I do agree with Gandhi and Danielle to include
the men just to find out, like what are their thoughts,
like are we are we doing something wrong? Where's the
communication lost?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah? So when you first heard from Claudine, what does
she say that made you want to put her wrong?
She she got to it right there at the end.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Was she's frustrated because she doesn't know how to change
it on her end, right right, And it really does
require somebody to listen and actively make a change sometimes
because you're in that environment, you don't know that there's
something better because that's your environment.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yes, it was just you know, I finally spoke up
for the first time and was you know, deflected immediately.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, so it made you not want to ever talk
up again, which is counterproductive.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Somebody said that last night as well, in one of
my sessions, And she said that because when she voiced
herself in a very nice way, it wasn't received the
way she thought. She decided to give her two weeks
at her last job. Oh wow, because she was like,
I can't do this anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Okay, so yeah, good good for her. I mean, you
shouldn't have to do that. Including thank you for your call.
I appreciate it very much. Look at bottom line is this.
There's a lot of bottom lines. My one bottom line
takeaway is listen to what people say. It's pretty simple. Yeah,
you know, try to figure out where they're coming from,
walking their shoes however you want to put it. That's
kind of empathy is a good word, being empathetic to
(10:54):
what other people are going through. While there's a new concept,
what are they how are they feeling similar? All right, well,
I'm glad you guys are sharing with us.
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah? So when you first heard from Claudine, what does
she say that made you want to put her wrong?
She she got to it right there at the end.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Was she's frustrated because she doesn't know how to change
it on her end, right right, And it really does
require somebody to listen and actively make a change sometimes
because you're in that environment, you don't know that there's
something better because that's your environment.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yes, it was just you know, I finally spoke up
for the first time and was you know, deflected immediately.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, so it made you not want to ever talk
up again, which is counterproductive.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Somebody said that last night as well, in one of
my sessions, And she said that because when she voiced
herself in a very nice way, it wasn't received the
way she thought. She decided to give her two weeks
at her last job. Oh wow, because she was like,
I can't do this anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Okay, so yeah, good good for her. I mean, you
shouldn't have to do that. Including thank you for your call.
I appreciate it very much. Look at bottom line is this.
There's a lot of bottom lines. My one bottom line
takeaway is listen to what people say. It's pretty simple. Yeah,
you know, try to figure out where they're coming from,
walking their shoes however you want to put it. That's
kind of empathy is a good word, being empathetic to
(10:54):
what other people are going through. While there's a new concept,
what are they how are they feeling similar? All right, well,
I'm glad you guys are sharing with us.
