Today's daily highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning show
is the Tom Kelly. But Tom Kelly, Hello Tom Kelly.
Oh my god, I have a button. You have a button?
Oh want to god? This is exciting. Okay. So Tom
Kelly is a contributor to our show. I like that
word contributor you are, and he says, I miss, I
missed the fact you guys do those topic train segments?

(00:22):
They were my favorites. What was so great about the
topic train to describe to people what they are.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's a list of random topics you would not normally
come up within a coherent conversation. And what I loved
about what you used to do that I think I
can bring to the topic train is our friend Greg
t who came up with this, had a sense of
curiosity and he also didn't care if you made fun
of the questions.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
And that's what I have.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I have no sense of self, I have no feelings,
but I have curiosity and that's what I can bring
to this.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
This is good. I was always told Elvis came up
with the topic chance, No, no, no, came up with that.
I invented the topic train, But he came up with
a question. Yes, okay, yeah, he would come in. He
still to this day says he came up with the
topic train. He did not. It's a big controversy. Controversy.
There's no came with the topic of the topic juggler,

(01:14):
the topic juggler. Okay, No, it is not a big controversy.
There is no controversy with me doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I want to call it the Tom Pick train to
you know, keep me from any possible litigation.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Don't do that. No, it's stupid. Okay, see, and right there,
my feelings not hurt. I don't care. Here's what we're
gonna do. So Tom's gonna throw out just a big
old list of topics. All right, Yes, they're all another
of them have anything in common. And so what you'll
do is call us or Texas whatever. We'll get in
touch with you. If there's a topic that hits a
nerve for you and you want to comment on it,

(01:47):
you can be a part of the topic train and
feel free to call and tell me I'm wrong. I
don't care. That's the beautiful thing. Oh, I got music. Music,
all right ready, it's the topic train, the train, all right,
all right, here we go. It's the Tom Kelly. Topic train. Now,
keep in mind, you know you can text it fifty

five one hundred or call it eight hundred two four
to two zero one hundred. Diamond looks so bored with us? Well,
get right in a wake up, Diamond. It's about to
get hot. Here we go, Here we go. Topic number one.
Let's see if this one gets an enables. Topic number
one gazebos.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay, I believe the more gazebos a town has, the
nicer it is. I just did a little Instagram video
on Northport.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Long Island. They have town beautiful town.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Four gazebos Elvis four three octagons, one square, which I
don't know if that qualifies as a gazebo, But anyway,
how many gazebos does your town have?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
And is your town nice to live? Yeah? Yeah, yeah?
Do you have a gazebo? And does it make it nice?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
All right?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's topic gazebos Number two. Gay marriage.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay, gay male couples have a divorce rate of fourteen percent. Okay,
heterosexual couples, I believe is actually sixteen percent, and lesbians
have the highest rate at twenty four percent, proving the
more women you add to a relationship the quicker it.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Ends, Oh my god? Really? Yes?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Okay, So anyway, where am I? Where are my gay
married couples? And why is it so awesome? Why are
you staying together? That's my topic?

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, Okay, let's see local. Other topic, local news anchors.
All right, who's your favorite local news anchor?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I love a woman Jana Angel of WBTV and Rawley.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I'm just saying that just to get her to notice me.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
I also love Penny Crone of Fox five in New York.
She retired, she is and she was just so fun.
I love Rich Hoffman of News twelve. And there was
a guy Jim Dolan, who I think is retired from
Channel seven. Whenever he was on TV, you knew he
was like just not pretty and they would send him
to all the worst places.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
If Jim Dolan was there, someone was bleeding. Now here's
the thing about, don't it. He's the guy who uses words.
He's a wordsmith. He goes, he over exaggerates everything he does.
Do we still have okay, we don't have sound of him. Okay,
your local news anchor? Who do you want to send
a shout out to? Doesn't matter what town. Another topic
on the topic train sits on your sits on your face?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
What? Okay, Well, I've never had anybody sit on my
face in a romantic situation.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
In what situation would you have them? Said on?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
There?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Just feel like that's something people ask about. What about
can you go on on your first date?

Speaker 2 (04:34):

from all Island that I've heard guys use the phrase
I'd love to have a sit on my.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Okay, okay, okay, So well, so what's the what's the definition?
Define this topic a little more other than said on
the face?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, okay, well, are you if you sit on someone's
face or someone sits on your face? What's what goes
through your mind? Are you afraid they will fart? Are

Welcome to the topic train. Which of Tom's robust talking
about topics are you calling about?

back on this later, Yeah, we'll get.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Credit for three call.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah. Okay, So you live in Northport, Long Island, which
means you have gazebos galore. Okay, therefore it is a
beautiful town. It is probably higher Texas, Okay, it is.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
And I would say what I had said to whoever
picked up the phone, is that the more gazebels I
find in the town that I live in, the less
diversity there is.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh, and that applies to Northport.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yes, really yeah, pretty pretty white?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yes, okay, all right, yes, and now that you're getting divorced,
I feel like it's less diverse in that way too.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I would.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
I mean, honestly, they actually do have like a pride
like a pride day, which is nice, which I found
strange when I moved out here. Okay, but which is
nice and it's inclusive. But but you know, with the
you know, I want my son to you know, see
color and you know the diversity and you know everybody around.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
What we need to do is find towns with no gazebos.
We'll move. Yeah, yeah, Jersey City, there we go. Jersey
City is very very well, thank you. So much, Ali,
very nice, and good luck with your divorce. Let's go

So you guys wanted to know why pink. I run
a business in New Jersey for upscale events. I run
a staff and company where I provide bartenders and servers
for big parties, and all my staff works pink. And
I've noticed that, you know, I'm not the only person
that does what I do in New Jersey. So that's
the one way that I've been able to make myself

(12:55):
stand out for the past three and a half years.

coming up with these topics and when he's presenting them
on the air. Yes, no, but there's something's not right.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
