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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
We missed you so much, Gandhi past couple of days,
and I was asking him, like, where's Gondi. Where's Gondi? Gandhi.
We'll be back. We promise She'll be okay, she's good.
Is she sick? No, she's doing well. I mean, do
you want to tell everyone what you're up to?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, I was interviewing for a new job. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Help you use me as a reference?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I did. I put you all down.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I take Nate with you. Please.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
They said the only condition of you getting hired was
Nate not coming.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
That's the third rejection, Nate.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
No, seriously. So first of all, thank you guys for
let me take the time like always. But I've had
it's just been a patch of family medical things. So
you know, I was gone for a couple days because
my sister had a brain surgery and then my mom
had a little heart procedure the other day that was
supposed to be pretty simple and routine. So I came
down here just because you want to be with your
parents when they're going through things like that. And when

(01:02):
we came home from the hospital, initially they said they
wanted her to stay overnight, but then they said, oh,
it went so well, she can go home. And then
as soon as we got home, some of the things
that they said to look out for started happening. So
I panicked and was freaked out. We went back to
the hospital and then we were there for a while
and it turns out that a big part of what
we were seeing because they say look for redness and swelling,
was an allergy to the adhesive that they use for

(01:24):
the bandaging over the incision.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
So yeah, I was concerned that there was something happening
under the skin. Thankfully, it all seemed to be over
the skin and they re wrapped it and she's doing
really well. So I'm mac and I will be back
in the studio on Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Thank god. That's the thing, you know, every time you
go to a doctor's office or for go in for
any procedure, they say, well, hey, tell us, now you're
allergic to what I'm allergic to? Nothing. And I'm sure
maybe you said the same thing for your mom. You
didn't know she's allergic to that specific adhesive that's on
a piece of tape, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
He did not. Now we know and I told her,
you know, going forward, now you have to remember to
tell them that this is something that bothers you. And
I was actually talking to Sam about it, and she
said the exact same thing happened to her mom when
she had a knee surgery. So I was like, oh,
maybe this is like a thing that we should pay
attention to.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well, you know that I was telling Ghani, this happened
to my friend with something else. She was getting a
breast surgery and it was taking a lot longer than
we thought, and we didn't understand what was happening. She
was allergic to the latex gloves that they were using
during the surgery, and she had no idea that she was.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, latex allergies are not that uncommon. Don't ask me
how I know that. Well, what's up, Nate, Okay thought, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Last year, to Gandhi's point, always trying to be there,
you know, for your especially your parents if they're having
something done. Because last year I went and you know,
my mom had some surgery and I went there and
I arrived as she was in surgery and then you know,
go up to the room when she's coming out of anesthesia,
and so I was there when she came out of it.

(02:58):
And then at Christmas time, we were talking about our
favorite memories of the year and came to my mom's
turn and she goes, my favorite memory of the year
was you standing there when I came out of anesthesia.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Oh so sweet.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
So always trying to be there, you know, especially for
your parents as they get older. You know, they you
kind of switch rolls and you're taking care of them.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
So yeah, you know what, I want you to be
there every time I come out of anesthesis. From now,
I do not being serious. I mean totally serious about that.
There's been a lot of times we almost had to
put you in surgery. Remember that time you passed out.
You're like, just raise my legs and put the microphone
by my face. You're passing out. Remember when was that?

Speaker 4 (03:39):
You're the doctor told you to crush up your blood
pressure medication.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, after I had my stomach surgery. Yes, your post
is like four. My doctors almost killed me because they
were They told him they totally missed step on my medication.
I was on a this was a trooper. He's like, okay,
I'm gonna laid down. Can you can you move the
microphone in my face, like yeah, I was on the floor.

(04:05):
I said, bring the microphone to the floor and I'll
do the show, Like, hey, come about everybody. What it
was is, you know, I have blood pressure medicine, but
it's it's it's time released these pills. So you take
a pill and it releases, you know, the medication throughout
the day. So it's slowly, but sure, definitely, for sure
it takes care of your blood pressure and keeps it constant. Well,

(04:27):
they said, well because of this operation, you had your
little a little holy hit. Your throat where pills go
through it is too small, so you need to crush
up your medication. So I was crushing up medication. There
was supposed to be time released, so I was getting
my full day's dose of blood pressure medicine at once.
I was fainting all over the place we were. We

(04:49):
were at Zoo, Miami. We were in a golf cart
because Uncle Johnny was with us and he couldn't walk,
and it was Alex and me and Uncle Johnny and
I passed out in the golf cart. I was looking
up and I saw a giraffe and I and I
just I was like Elvis, Elvis are you okay. I'm like,
oh god. So if you work it at Zoo Miami,

(05:10):
you know exactly. It was the talk of the zoo.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
The doctors, they could have killed me. Thank you doctors.
But your mom is doing well. That's all that matters.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
She's doing very well. She was up and at it,
and both of my parents are harassing me like they
normally would.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
So that's great, that's perfect.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yes, yes, take it harassment. Is it full full time?
Oh my god,
