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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Look, you know me, I'm not one of those guys
that like to go to clubs, flashy clubs, you know,
bottle service with sparklers coming out of the top of
your vodka. You don't like a good red rope.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Oh my gosh, this is all scary dream right that way.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
But I don't like it. I don't like it. I
don't need it. I've done that, been there, It's no
big deal. So now there's a club in New York
City called Garsong. Have you heard of this? No, no,
you guys. When a man shows up at Garsong and
he is ready to go in the club, he has
to put his card in an ATM reader to see

(00:40):
how much money he has in his account, and I
do believe it's a minimum of fifty thousand dollars. They
won't let I know. It's silly. So they're saying, basically, hey,
come on in, all the guys here are worth at
least fifty grand in cash, which is silly. You were
at this story too, didn't you, Gandhi?

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Oh yeah, absolutely. They said they're trying to weed out,
you know, the riff raft. So they want you to
prove how much money you make.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Okay, how much money you have exactly? Let me tell
you riffraff right now, there's a lot of there's a
lot of rich riff raff out there. I wouldn't get
into that, but but it's true. Okay, another reason not
to go to that club, I guess. But I don't
know what a weird what a weird way to select
who can come through, right?

Speaker 4 (01:26):
I just have a feeling that everybody inside is insufferable,
Like if you're trying to go to a place like
that where they they're making you prove some type of
financial worth to out, like dictate if you're actually.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Worth coming in? Goodbye, no, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I want to hear a conversation between Gandhi and Danielle.
Can you hold on? Scary? A conversation between Gandhi and Danielle,
Like just two girlfriends who are like trying to make
plans for the weekend, and then Gandhi lets Danielle know
of this club. Okay, and let's let's hear what a
shallow conversation would sound like. Okay, go cool, cool, all right?

Speaker 3 (01:59):
So I I I know we have all this time
on Saturday. Do you think we should like go out
maybe a movie, dinner show. What do you think?

Speaker 4 (02:07):
I don't know, Danielle. Sounds like that's where a lot
of poor people hang out. I've heard of a club
called what's called Garson.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Gars That sounds so fancy. Tell me about it.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Well, to get in, the men have to prove that
they're worth at least fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Sounds like a party.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh, we can go take advantage of some men that
have money.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
At least fifty thousand.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Are there a lot of zaddies there?

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Probably not, Danielle.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
And there you go, ladies and gentlemen. That was fabulous
acting standing ovation for my girls. Now that's the thing.
Fifty grand. So here's another thing. I'm not putting my
card in any card reader at a club. Are you
kidding me? Everything's just all wrong. And of course maybe
they just came up with this, came up with this
concept just to have people talk about it. And here

(02:56):
we are, right, yes, Garry, what did you want to say?

Speaker 6 (02:59):
My question is, well, what are the women bringing to
the table? What do they have to do to get
into this club?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Do they we just have to show up?

Speaker 5 (03:06):
No, boobs and and it's it.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
So is that it?

Speaker 6 (03:10):
It's so obviously they don't have to put their ATM
cards in But what are they Oh no, no, no,
I mean final.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah. It's like it's along the lines of Ladies Night,
ladies getting free.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, lady.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, it's gonna be all people.

Speaker 7 (03:27):
In there that you think, every Instagram model that ever
thought they were one.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
So there you go. If you want to get with
an Instagram hottie for the night, that's where you go,
flash your bucks and you got something.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
You know, it's all about this status, which you know,
fifty grand in a checking account. To me, I don't
I don't know. I don't consider that any kind of
status that's of note and worthy of anyone's attention. But
that's just me. What is that? What does that way
dating site? Nate Rayah, that Ryan Rayah? You have to
have basically just status. I guess.

Speaker 8 (04:01):
I mean Scotty B and I were talking about it
the other day. I guess they even check your Instagram
to see if you have a lot of followers, and
they check to see your contacts and your contact list
to see if you have friends that are in RAYA.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Doesn't that bother you though, because then you think that
people are going after you for the wrong reasons, not
because you're a nice guy and you know you'll have
a good time, but because you what you can give
them exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
You bring the boobs, I'll bring the cash. Let's go.
It sounds like sounds like a healthy relationship in the work.
I will say that we all know someone who I
don't know if he's still in Rayah, but he was.
He was, he was on the Riah dating scene. We
all we work with this person. But that's not he

(04:47):
met his significant others WHOA Okay, you're.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Well, you're not getting out right now.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
It's someone that we work. It's the way we work
with and it's not someone who you listeners would know. Okay,
we're good, Okay, okay, okay, so but if someone we know,
so I stop thinking. Okay, okay, no one knows what
you're talking about. So let's we'll talk about that later. Okay,
Oh you guys, now, my question is why would he
want to join that? Why would anyone want to join it?

(05:17):
What are you thinking, like, I want to join Riyah
because you have to have a certain status, so you're
eliminating a pool of people. Who are you eliminating if
you join a riyah or you go to a club
that makes you have fifty grand in a checking account?

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Do I have a question about it? Do you? Does
the woman need to have the same type of status
as the guy?

Speaker 6 (05:38):
Is it?

Speaker 9 (05:38):
Like?

Speaker 10 (05:38):
No?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
So no, because I was thinking if if that was
the case, then I could understand maybe if a guy
is looking for to.

Speaker 10 (05:45):
Be hot, that's what they do that hot women and
rich guys.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Okay, he started out differently, didn't it?

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Like it started out where both people needed to have
some sort of status, and then I think it morphed
to Okay, girls just need to be hot and guys
need to be something.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Well.

Speaker 11 (05:59):
I think the people who are defending this are saying
that it shows that you maybe you're financially stable or
financially responsible, is what they're That's what their argument's going
to be.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Okay, don't get madame for saying this, But is fifty
thousand dollars financially stable? No?

Speaker 11 (06:13):
I agree with you, But I'm just saying that. I
think that's what their argument is. That that's how they
draw the line. Where do you draw the line? Is
it fifty?

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Is it one? Hundred, is it two fifty? Is it
a half a million? I don't know. Line well exactly,
And you can't see one account from a person and
just automatically assume you know everything about their finances from that,
right right, know. They could be in debt, they could
have they could be someone else's money. You don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Maybe dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money. I'm not
I'm not saying it's not. I'm just saying that's a
weird way to prove that you're datable, That's all I'm saying, right,
I don't know. But my question again is this, who
is being eliminated by having rules like that? Lot?

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Probably a lot of really great people.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah exactly, of course.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, not cool?

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Right, I like to text, these clubs are eliminating the scrubs.

Speaker 10 (07:03):
Okay in the house.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Oh, we have somebody that works on our show that
is on Ray I just found out. Can I say
her name is on?

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Riya?

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Riya?

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I don't know. Do they do they want you to
say that? Do they want to be known?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I'm gonna say it. I want our show, Abby, our
brand new Abbey.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Here. Hold on, now, hold on? Does she want to
talk about this. I don't want to make her.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Janna told me she was on it, and then Deanna.

Speaker 11 (07:36):
Danielle.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh no, Danielle.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Abby is fine with it. She said, it's fine, She's fine.
She said she'll come in and talk about it.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Look, okay, well Deanna's not Abby, I know, but I'm sure,
she asked her. Danielle. That's okay. Yeah, what's up? Scotty,
turn Scotty on? What's up? You know?

Speaker 10 (07:55):
I tried, they won't let me on. I tried, I've been,
I've been, and they says I've been in limbo for
three months.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's wrong with you that you can't join Raya.

Speaker 10 (08:04):
Nothing. They just said, we're checking you out. You're a
limbo and I've been there for three months and they
won't let me in.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
That's awful.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
On extreme coupon and kicked you right off.

Speaker 10 (08:14):
It's probably there you go.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
All right, Hi, Abby, welcome to the shod Are you okay?
Are you comfortable talking about Yeah? Sure, okay, get close
to that microphone. We're going. So how long? How long
ago did you join RAYA and why did you select Riya?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
So? I think I applied in August. I'm not still on.
I deleted it because I started dating somebody.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
But did you meet them there?

Speaker 10 (08:41):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
I did not, but I downloaded.

I heard hold on, hold on, we're having Wait, hold on,
we're having Mike. Mike, you have a limp micah see,
I wouldn't let you and Raya because anyway, anyway, go
go ahead, Abby, I apologize, No.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
You're good.

Speaker 9 (08:58):
I downloaded it in August because I heard that a
couple of actors that I'm in love with were on
the app, so I donated it to see if I
could find them, and I didn't.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Did you?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Sadly? I did not?

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Can we find out who they are?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
I can? I say, absolutely? Paul Meskal and Nicholas Gallaxy.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Oh okay, yeah the movie that just came out.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Danielle, Yeah, the hot one with the boy band.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah. Sadly I did not find them.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well, okay, but so you were in you were on rio.
Were people coming toward toward you and interested in your No?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Not at all.

Speaker 9 (09:44):
It was I got like no matches on that app.
So it is it is rough.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Out there, and we feel for you. Really?

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, it sorry, yeah you do.

Speaker 9 (09:59):
And I was so I that's why partially why I
deleted it too, because I was like, I can't justify
this anymore.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Okay, and I could see, you know, people want her.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (10:08):
How expensive is it?

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I think twenty dollars a month?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay, guys, there's my mic on I don't take Hello.
Is this working? Yeah you can hear me right? Yeah?
Question how expensive is it?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
It's twenty dollars a month.

Speaker 9 (10:22):
I think for like the regular you can I think
you can pay more for like a premium version.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
But what's a premium version of a dating site?

Speaker 5 (10:29):
That's I don't really know, Like what what do you get?

Speaker 3 (10:32):
What do you get?

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Like if you have a grammy, ye, maybe there's tears
of people that you're introduced to the more you pay.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Maybe maybe can I ask something?

Speaker 10 (10:43):
Well, God, I need to know, like how does an
industry stalk or get right on? But me, I'm in limbo.
It's like your application is currently on our wait list
and I have four referrals too, and they still don't
want that's yeah.

Speaker 9 (10:55):
I'm like, I don't know why they let me on.
I really yes, she's a young woman. Yeah, it's for
my friends. Some of us had to wait like a
little bit, but one of my friends was accepted on
the wait list after like a day.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
It's like a beauty patch, it is.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
I can try to give you a referral.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
So, Scotty, Scotty, did you just accuse Abby of being
any would you call her industry stalker? Stalker? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (11:30):
She came right out and admitted it.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, she didn't done a stalker. Actually, technically sort of.

Speaker 7 (11:39):
Scotty doesn't have an Emmy or a Grammy, so he's
going to stand on that waiting list. That's how this works.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
It's a status thing.

Speaker 10 (11:44):
The vetting does not work very well for this simeon
for women in a status thing.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
For guys, nobody on there has any better intention than
the other people, like Scotty. The reason you want to
get on there is the same reason she wants to
get on there. So I don't know why you're calling
her a stalker stock all the famous people too, exactly.

Speaker 10 (12:00):
No, I don't care about industry people.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
You want to bang it out on industry people.

Speaker 11 (12:05):
It's just kind of with someone he doesn't care of
their industry anyway.

Speaker 10 (12:11):
They could be they could be in any industry. Actually,
our our big, our, big big boss recommended it to me.
He said I should get on there. So I tried
and I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Can he give you a recommendation.

Speaker 10 (12:19):
He's not on there anymore, so you can't.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I'll try to get it, thank you.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
That's what I was talking about earlier, the big big
big boss who shower named.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
Guys look for young and hot women look for status
and cash. That's I'm boiling it down. That's right, that's
what they are.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Well, okay, hold on to be clear, not all guys
and not all women look for those things. But you're
saying the type that would go to a Rya Mazing.
There's an agenda there.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Maybe he gets so angry because he knows he can't
be there, angry for.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Us that you should be on the.

Speaker 8 (13:05):
Street.

Speaker 10 (13:06):
There are industry trolls out there.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Scary, Hey, scary, scary, scary. I I have just just
as an experiment. I know that you're you're happy, you're
in a relationship, you're happy. Let's see if let's see
if you could apply and get on the Raya. I
want to get out to Rya in two minutes. I
can absolutely do it. Okay, Okay, I wanta tell us
how Froggy and I want to know what what list

(13:29):
of things do you have going for you that we
get you right on the rayah with I mean, please
come right in, Sirve the vi Pa and Scotty can't
get in for four months now.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
All the materialistic stuff I got.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
I go check on Instagram. I got close to two.

Speaker 7 (13:43):
Hundred thousand followers. These are the stupid things that they
look for. Look at thirty years in this, in the
in the radio industry. You know what else do I
have to show? I mean, and I can get ten referrals,
but but I don't want that. This is exactly the
kind of person that I've made my life to try
and run away from.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Is the women that would go on there. I must call,
but I.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
Don't want to go on there, and I don't want
I don't want.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
To chill on. Hold on, hey, hey, Mary, calm down,
you're about to say something. Ghandia. What was it?

Speaker 9 (14:16):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (14:17):
No, I just I almost had a heart attack when
he said, these are the people I've spent my life trying.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
To stay away from.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yeah, I think you spend your life trying to be
around those people. I'm not saying you're trying to date them.
But you love a red carpet, you love a velvet rope,
you love VIP everything.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
And my twenties and my thirties.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
But how how I used to come in here with
such heartache and all these stories for years and then
it's like, I'm just happier now. I'm a happier person
these days because you.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Have over two hundred thousand followers.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Trying to god Riah.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Okay, we still okay, hold you see what he said.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
He just totally contradicts himself.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
If I was single and in despair, I might have fallen.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
I might trap. Okay, Okay, I want to seek despair.
I want you, Scary to try to join this thing.
Let's see if you can get it. Come on, do it.
I don't think I should do that. Why is there
a sight out there? Is there a sight out there
for like ugly women and poor.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
Guys like everywhere else?

Speaker 2 (15:18):
I'm saying that. I'm saying that because it's basically you're
setting it up to be the opposite of what Riya
is about. Correct poor guys and ugly women. Okay, all right, Abby, Yeah,
so you're off of Riyah, as you said. But so
where are you today? How are you feeling in life?
Do you feel like Riya? Was that just a detour

(15:39):
that you didn't really matter, don't need it? What?

Speaker 1 (15:42):
It was fun? It was fun. Maybe I'll get back on.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Wait look for Scary while you.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Yeah, I'll keep an eye on.

Speaker 9 (15:50):
But I would see a lot of a lot of
guys that I would see on Hinge I would also
see on Riya. So it doesn't seem like it's it's
they have too much of a vetting process, Scarb.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
All right, is that a Is that a box you
can check off in your application? Trust? Fun? Baby?

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Honestly they should they should have that.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, so what all do they ask for it? If
you want to join Rye? It may be different for
women than men. I don't know. But what did you
What was your experience?

Speaker 9 (16:20):
They just asked for your Instagram I'm pretty sure, which
is interesting because I'm private and I only have like
a couple of hundred followers, so I didn't think that.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I would be accepted.

Speaker 10 (16:33):
I'm a giant.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Loser, That's what Scary says.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
All right, Well, look Abby, thanks for sharing that U
and you know, and whenever in the future you want
to share any of this with us. If you choose
to do so, we'll keep you posting. Always have you
always have a place at the table.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Sorry that I threw you under the bus if you
didn't want to be, Oh.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, you're fine. I don't mind talking about it.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
It's it seems like she's she's enjoying it under the
bus right now. I'm having fun. All right, it's here
for Abby everyone lation, thank you, let's here. Let's here
for the latest and greatest Riyah member, Scary and then
