Speaker 1 (00:03):
You guys make my day, Like every single day, I'm
like rocking.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Morning Show. Ever. You guys are freaking phenomenon.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's own past.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
Elvis Durran him The Morning Show one hundred.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Are you driving It's about to fall apart? You know
our friend Scotty b Here, the Eater of the Big Banana,
he says every time every morning he gets into his
jeloppie and he prays it starts, and then he prays
the wheels don't fall off on the l I E
on that right, and he prays that it's gonna start
again after he turns off the ignition. I just know morning,

(00:43):
I'm gonna call Nate and be like, dude, I can't
make it in because the wheel fell off. My question
is how many people are are driving this that kind
of nightmare every single day? Like, at the very least,
maybe the check engine light is on every day? What
is it exactly? It's what It's a two thousand and
five Chevy Tahoe, Okay, with lots and lots of miles

(01:05):
on it, I guess because you're coming in and out
of Long Island and.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yeah, over one hundred and fifty thousand miles. It's older
than my kids. Okay, well, so he's just waiting. He's
waiting for that day where it just dies. It's gonna die,
you know that it's on this last leg. So people
started calling and texting. So many people are right now
as we speak, probably right next to you in traffic.
They're driving something that's that shouldn't even be street legal.

(01:32):
Maybe it just barely started today. You should see all
these things people were sending out texts. Have you seen
some of these.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
I used to be one of these people, but yeah,
I've seen some of the stuff that's going on, and
it makes me nervous to even be on the road
with anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
I'm like, oh, you're tired about to fall off? Oh
oh well.

Speaker 7 (01:49):
Nobody texted in their car has no sway bar, and
we're like, what's that? That's that's basically what keeps your
car from swinging then flipping over.

Speaker 8 (01:56):
Wait, what is I never even heard of that?

Speaker 9 (01:57):
What is a sway bar? He just told you exactly
In the car.

Speaker 7 (02:02):
It's under in the suspension and it keeps the car
going straight instead of starting to flip over.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Maybe that's why you've had so many wrecks. You should
buy a car with a sway bar.

Speaker 9 (02:12):
I guess I forgot to do that my next one.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I didn't know this sway bar was an option. Anyway,
here's it take. Someone tried to steal my cars. They
bashed the window out. Now it's the garbage bag and
a rolla duct tape and the steering wheel. Callumn is gone.
How can you drive a car without a steering wheel?
Call them? That doesn't make sense to me. I can't
turn my head because my neck fell off. I have
a two thousand and Ultima. We put transmission fluid every week,

(02:36):
and every week the car acts like it will stall
out when idling and intersections when we slow down and
two tires are about to blow. That's the day. They're facing.
Someone else in a texted earlier, saying they had to
put a new anti freeze in every single day, every day.

Speaker 8 (02:51):
What is the cost on that?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
It's more than gas per gallon?

Speaker 10 (02:55):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
I don't I don't know? Uh God?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Line twenty is Laura. Let's see if she's still there.
She named her Okay, hey Laura, how are you hi?

Speaker 9 (03:09):
Good?

Speaker 11 (03:09):
How are you guys doing well?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Why did you name your car Karen?

Speaker 12 (03:14):
Because she always freaking needs something from my life. She's
always demanding something, Karen.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
The demanding Karen, your car is asking to speak to
the manager. Hey, so you took Karen to the shop
yesterday because you heard a weird noise, right.

Speaker 12 (03:32):
Yeah, So the weird noise was something that came loose,
and the guy at the shop was actually like, but
that's the sound that concerned you. I said, yeah, why
is there another sound? And she said, yeah, you have
a lot wrong with your car. So he put it
up on the lift and showed me that my exhaust
is literally falling off. It's really bad. But I'm the

(03:52):
one with the sway bar that's missing.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
No, so Froggy says that without a sway bar, you're
probably gonna just fall off a bridge at some point.

Speaker 9 (04:02):
Oh my god.

Speaker 13 (04:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (04:04):
So I asked him, I said, is that really dangerous
for me to be driving without the sway bar? And
he was like, well, apparently you have been for a while.
So we're gonna get We're gonna get that thing.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay, is there anything on the car that does work?
I mean, like winschle wipers and and like you the
wiper fluid thing.

Speaker 12 (04:30):
So well, the fluid thing is a little broken. So
when I spray my winchl wiper fluid, it just goes
right over the hood of the car.

Speaker 14 (04:40):
O my god.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
So now how much longer do you think? How much
longer do you think she has in her I mean,
I mean, at what point do you do you give up?

Speaker 12 (04:50):
He gave me a week to get it all things.
He said, if you don't come back within a week,
then you're you're going to be in trouble when you're
on the road. So you need to make sure that
you get this fixed quickly.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Would you please do us a favorite and we're.

Speaker 12 (05:02):
Going to get this fixed within the next couple day.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Okay, Laura, do us a favorite. When it's fixed, will
you call us and let us know you're okay? Please?

Speaker 12 (05:10):
Well, it's so good to talk to you, guys. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
It's good to talk to you. But we're worried. We're
very very concerned about you. Right, Okay, thank you, Thank you, Laura.
I have a safe day. Ask a friend to give
you a ride. A line twenty one is Bonnie? Now, Bonnie,
like the rest of us, you know, you look down
and that check engine light is on. It's like, okay,
I'll get to it. Right, this happened to YouTube forever. Yep, yeah,

(05:33):
so tell us what happened. Take us back to the
first moment you saw the check engine light on, and
then what happened?

Speaker 13 (05:40):
My check engine light is on, so I just kind
of look the other way for a while. Then I
turned my car on one day and apparently my car
fixed itself. The check engine light is.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Off or burned out.

Speaker 14 (05:56):
She has an amazing car.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well that's a miracle. That's a good old fashion miracle
right there. Well, so you're just so you never knew
why the check engine light was on at all.

Speaker 13 (06:06):
Nope, I'm still driving it now. My amazing car fixed itself.

Speaker 11 (06:10):
Oh check every time.

Speaker 15 (06:11):
It's still on here. I don't know.

Speaker 10 (06:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
If my check engine light went off, I would assume, okay,
some fluid found out where it needed to go and
it found its way. I agree.

Speaker 7 (06:24):
Cars don't fix themselves. What happens is probably the bull
burned out. That was like that, all right, the censor fried.
All right, Well, good luck with that, Bonnie. Let us
know what it comes back on, because it may come
on today.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Maybe you never know.

Speaker 13 (06:35):
Oh, dear God, thank you guys, I love you all.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Thank you Bonnie. Line twenty four is Alyssa my favorite
say hey, Alssa, how are you good? My favorite thing?
I heard Nate pick up your call while the song
was playing, and I go and he goes, hey, So
tell me about your Chevy and Paula, and I knew
we were going to talk to you. What is going
on with your Chevy and Paula?

Speaker 15 (07:00):
Okay, So it's a two thousand and eight seven and Paula,
and it has like things in miles home day now.
My husband bought it and just before readee each other.
It's like back in two thousand and eight with like
twenty thousand miles on it. So he has driven all
of those miles. And the very first few years he
lived in Florida, so the body is in really good

(07:22):
shape because he never had to deal with the salt
for like the first five or six years.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Of his life.

Speaker 15 (07:27):
The thing he moved up to Illinois. But so now
when you do about forty miles an hour, starts to
shake and.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Then shitay hold on, let me, I'm writing this down,
I'm riding this. He starts shaking it. Forty miles per hour.

Speaker 15 (07:40):
Oh okay, you go about like fifty or fifty five.
It starts through the back out and then you don't
really want to go over sixty five miles an hour.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
That's okay, Okay, let me get this straight in case
I have to borrow your Chevy and Paula, Elissa, It's
gonna start shaking right around forty, but it levels out
right around fifty five. So between forty and fifty five
that's like a sweet spot of just vibration. And so
fifty five is as probably as fast as you want
me to drive.

Speaker 15 (08:07):
Your own Paula right sixty five is about the limit, okay.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
So I have a sweet spot between fifty five and
sixty So right in, there's okay, no shaky. Now are
you planning on getting rid of your Chevy and Paula
with over three hundred thousand miles anytime? Okay? Keep rolling.

Speaker 15 (08:26):
It's funny because even like the ignition, my husband can
get in the car and start it right away. I
have to sit there and like shake the key and
try to like wiggle it because I think it kind
of sunk at some point, like within the ignition. So
you have to sit there and wiggle it and wiggle
it it it and want to do it, I know,
but you know what we got.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
We gotta give her some credit. She still gets you
where you need to go, and she still starts if
you just give her a little wiggle, you know, best
of luck. Just be safe on the roads, okay, promise.
Oh all right, thanks for listening to us. A line
twenty two is Ali. She has a two thousand and
seven Honda Audi to see with one hundred and seventy
three thousand miles on it. Ali, how's she rolling?

Speaker 16 (09:05):
Uh?

Speaker 17 (09:05):
You know, I mean it gets you a point A
to point B. So can't complain too much, right, Like,
what's the problem. Well, so, you know, one time I
was driving on the highway and the automatic flighting door
it just kind of flew open and no real reason.
I don't really know what happened there. Of course, my
son was in the car in his car seat. He's like, MoMA,

(09:25):
door open. I'm like, oh oh, oh my god. So yeah,
that was that was not great. And then actually my
favorite thing though, is so I got in twenty seven
and twenty seventeen this little alert popped up on my
GPS that said, I'm ten years old, it's time to
buy a new car, and I should have listened.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Are you serious? Oh my god, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I'm good there.

Speaker 17 (09:48):
I'm trying to find the photo to send to you guys,
because I have it, and I because I saw it
and I was in total disbelief.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I'd love to see that your car is actually saying,
just just kill me, just kill.

Speaker 12 (10:00):
Put.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh my god. All right, we'll best of luck with that. Ali.
When your car is begging for mercy, you know you
got a problem. Yeah. Anyway, there you go the two
thousand and seven Honda Odyssey where the doors just flew
open on the highway and her son in the car
seat almost perished. All right, Well, thanks for listening to us, Ali,
you have a great day. Okay, Yo, I'm gonna play hooky. Goodbye.

Not every impulse deserves a journey, some just need a moment.
Your day's five and those are your Tuesday morning horoscopes.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Hey, you know what. I was talking to Gandhi earlier
about this interesting article she read, tips on how not
to be robbed from ex robbers, and I find this fascinating.
I mean, if you want to learn how to stay
safe on the streets or wherever, learn from the people
who make the streets unsafe, right why why not? Okay,

(12:36):
So you have the article in front of you, I do. Okay,
So what in general what are we learning here?

Speaker 8 (12:41):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (12:42):
So these are specifically about home break ins and things
that you should not do, things that we all think
are safe that are really not.

Speaker 11 (12:48):
So.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
One of the first things they say is unless the
safe is bolted to the floor or in a wall,
it's going to get taken and they're going to get
into it. If you just purchase a safe, even a
fireproof safe, whatever it is, they'll figure it out.

Speaker 8 (13:00):
They said.

Speaker 6 (13:00):
Anything that's gonna take them more than fifteen minutes to
get through or get into, they're not gonna mess with.
Closets are a gold mine under the bed is a
gold mine. Any drawers you have gold mines. You have
to find better places to hide things, they say. Keeping
You know how a lot of people have a bowl
that they'll toss all their keys in, or the wrecks
the keywrack at the front door. Yeah, they say, don't

(13:21):
do that because when they come in, they're gonna go
for cars. If there are cars in the garage. We
have your keys right there.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Interesting. Yeah, I'm wondering if the bedroom is where we
hide most of the stuff in our in our lives.

Speaker 8 (13:34):
I think a lot of people think, yeah, I'm just
gonna put it out in my bed.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
We find it. Do you know once someone broke into
my house years and years ago, they went into the
laundry room and emptied out an entire box of detergent
because people hide jewelry in detergent. Yes, I'm like what
the doctor, I mean the doctor the police officers told me, Yeah,
that's what's going on there. Wow.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
They're saying, if you really have things that are very
valuable to you, just take it to a safe deposit.

Speaker 8 (13:59):
Box at a bank.

Speaker 6 (14:00):
Pay whatever that fee is for the month to keep
it at a bank, because that is actually secure, and
that it's kind of smart if you do live in
an area that's high crime and burglars, burglaries happen stuff
like that, to have a decoy box, like a little
jewelry box with crab jewelry in it, put it somewhere
that looks like, oh, they got all the stuff if
they come here. Don't hide things in your laundry baskets.
They said, they will just ransack your entire house, chop

(14:22):
a whatever they can. But if it's going to take
them a while to get to it, then they might
not do it.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
It's just so what would that be. What could you
do that would force them to take a while to
get to it.

Speaker 8 (14:31):
I don't know. They did not specify that far.

Speaker 14 (14:33):
Put it in a safe deposit box like you said,
and then they won't find it there you go, but.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
They're going to ransack your house looking for it and
cause some damage. Here's what I'm thinking. It doesn't make
me sad, it makes me feel safe. I cannot think
of one thing in my house that's worth stealing, you
know what I'm saying. That they're gonna break in, They'll
be like, oh, well, next next door, maybe.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
They said be careful about what you're tossing into your
recycling bin, you know, like we all buy a new
computer and then you take the box and you put
it outside the trash. They drive by, see that there's
new computer box in the trash. They know you have that.
They know you have a TV inside your house if
you do.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Like an advertisement like hey, look what we got a
brand new TV. It's brand new, they said.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
Specifically after Christmas they will do drive bys of all
of the different neighborhoods and see who's got what.

Speaker 8 (15:16):
Then they hit your house.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Yeah, I mean there's there's a lot of stuff that
I would never have thought about being the case. And
the one thing that they say, well absolutely keep them
away from homes is a dog. They say, big dogs,
small dog. It doesn't matter because you can disable alarm
systems if you want to. If power goes out, you know,
there are things that can happen, but you can't with
a dog. And dogs will sense that people are coming
from far away and start barking, and they don't want

(15:40):
they don't want that. So even a little dog keeps
burglers away.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
So now I feel guilty for bitching a moment about
my dog's at bark all the time.

Speaker 8 (15:46):
No, they're just looking out for you.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
They do what dogs do. Yesterday and we had some
people here at the house working on some stuff and
they it's non stop, you know, Max especially, I'm sorry
about the Yes, Froggy. Froggy actually taught my dogs how
to how to bark, to be taught sorry to bark, Yeah,

(16:10):
it is, go ahead, I'm sorry.

Speaker 20 (16:12):
No.

Speaker 6 (16:12):
One of the other things that they say people really
need to take note of is if you're going on vacation,
wait until you're home to post your pictures, because if
you're posting, hey, look at me here I am, this
is where I'm at, people know you're not here.

Speaker 14 (16:25):
A lot of people were saying, when you go on
Facebook and I'm so excited about my trip to the
Bahamas tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Exactly we're going to be gone for three weeks. Yeah,
come on, come on by. Yeah, I know they're scary
posting from a foam party at a pool at the
Governor Hotel. Maybe I should just leave the lights on
in my apartment or something.

Speaker 8 (16:44):
I actually did say leaving a light on is important.

Speaker 21 (16:46):
What am I sticking the money in between the stacks
of clothing and your your folded T shirts and your drill.

Speaker 22 (16:52):
Thanks.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Thanks, scary, you just told us where to go. Look.
You know, I had a really good friend who lived
in a doorman building and and uh, someone got into
his apartment by knocking a hole in the wall in
the hallway and went through their closet to get into
their apartment. Wow, no, one crazy. Someone just walked by

(17:15):
and saw a huge hole in the wall, like what
happened here? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (17:18):
Frog, this person's got a great idea. They texted in
from Mary Code from Miami. Three of five. If you,
if you have a robber, put valuables in the enclosure
of your reptiles. Nobody's going to go in the snaking table.

Speaker 14 (17:33):
When Tonko was alive, I should have put it under
his rock.

Speaker 8 (17:36):
I would have taken a reptile. You're coming with me?

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah, you would have taken the reptile before you take
any money? Gandhi? Is that the entire list? Because I
think it's pretty cool.

Speaker 8 (17:46):
Yeah, that's that's the majority of the list.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
All right. Yeah, you know, if you don't want Danielle
to rip you off, put all your stuff in the
mayonnaise job. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (17:54):
Oh yes, you would never not go in there.

Speaker 14 (17:56):
That's not even allowed in the house in my house.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
There.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
You love to hear from somebody who actually did break
in the houses or does break in the house.

Speaker 8 (18:03):
Oh, Nate's leaving at me.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
You have someone's let's go talk to Garrett, a former burglar.
Burglar burglar on line twenty four. Hey Garrett, good morning,
Good morning.

Speaker 23 (18:13):
How are you well?

Speaker 3 (18:14):
We're doing fine. So you heard Gandhi reading this, Uh,
these tips from former robbers. Do you have any to
add to that or are in any of those kind
of lame What do you think?

Speaker 23 (18:24):
I think it's more of a matter of uh, you know,
people knowing the person or if they're not going to
be home. Like Gandhi said earlier, it's not really a
matter of driving by.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Right, So, so people who I guess casing the situation
knowing if they're there, or not knowing what their habits are,
what time they usually leave their schedule, stuff.

Speaker 23 (18:47):
Like that, right right, right, So I mean I was
I wouldn't say I was a former burglar.

Speaker 22 (18:53):
When I was.

Speaker 23 (18:54):
Fourteen, I got into a little bit of trouble with
some friends, breaking into a house, ended up with the felonies.
Luckily I was under.

Speaker 16 (19:02):
The age of eighteen.

Speaker 23 (19:03):
So yeah, so that was all that was fun.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
That was a short lived career for you in the
world of burglary.

Speaker 22 (19:12):
It was one and done.

Speaker 23 (19:13):
It was one and done.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah, okay, good, I'm happy that you said that. Well anyway,
so yeah, I think you bring up a good point
is people watch your schedule. People know what time you
leave the house. People, people know and look, here we
are at work. You know, when we're in the studio
and we're a live show. You know exactly where we are.
So my god, we've got to stop doing this. It's

(19:35):
very unsafe. All right, Thank you very much, Garrett. You
go have a good day. Okay, you as well, Thank you,
thank you, thanks for giving up the world of burglary. Burglary.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
The Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge with Cardi b We just

Speaker 4 (20:14):
Elms ter Ran in the Morning Show, Elvis Duran in
the Morning Show, See you want Bendred?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
You know, producer Sam. A little while ago, you were
talking about a friend of yours, Yes, who needed to
take a second look at her relationship. She's in correct,
maybe from someone else's viewpoint, and and you helped her
out right, Yes, So can we go back to that
for a minute.

Speaker 8 (20:36):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
I mean I don't want to, you know, I don't
want to embarrass anyone to use names or anything.

Speaker 18 (20:40):
No, I won't use her name. And she's a very
very smart girl. I've known her since high school, so yeah,
she's a very wise person. But sometimes when you're in
the thick of a relationship and feeling in love with someone,
you fail to see what was to me.

Speaker 9 (20:55):
A really obvious red flag.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Right, So what's the obvious If I may ask, what's
the obvious red flat?

Speaker 18 (21:01):
They've been together for over a year and he keeps
coming up with different reasons why he's yet to introduce
her to any of his friends.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Oh okay, well we could break that down. Well, maybe
he hangs out with people he's embarrassed to hang out with,
or maybe he doesn't want them to meet her.

Speaker 9 (21:18):
So true, there's a bunch of different reasons.

Speaker 18 (21:21):
So I was very careful to not be like that
means he's blank because I don't know.

Speaker 8 (21:25):
I don't know the guy.

Speaker 9 (21:26):
I couldn't tell you what it is.

Speaker 18 (21:27):
But I couldn't even come up with a best case
scenario where I felt like that was treating her the
way she deserved to be treated in a relationship.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
I get that if I had a friend coming to
me and say, hey, you know, we've been dating for
a year and I haven't met anyone that they are
friends with, but they go out with them. So I'm
assuming this person goes out with the friend time.

Speaker 9 (21:48):
Yeah, he goes out with friends.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
But she's not invited, correct, I don't know.

Speaker 14 (21:53):
I mean, it could be that his friends are just
scumbags and he doesn't want her around them because he
values what he has. But if that's the case, then
do you want to be with someone who has friends
that are scumbacks?

Speaker 3 (22:06):
You know you are who you surround yourself with. But wait,
why has she not asked him? She says she I.

Speaker 18 (22:14):
Would She said she's asked him, But she's kind of
a passive personality, so she's not like me. It'd be
like we're doing this this weekend or not at all.
She just kind of like lets him know and then
kind of lets herself get I think a little walked on.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
See I couldn't I couldn't you know me, I'd be
right under that hood?

Speaker 22 (22:31):
Man?

Speaker 3 (22:32):
What's going on?

Speaker 10 (22:32):
Right?

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Who are your friends? Who are these friends?

Speaker 15 (22:35):
Right?

Speaker 18 (22:35):
There's so many reasons that are potential, and most of
them are bad, most of them.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Is there something wonky about her that he doesn't want
them to know about?

Speaker 9 (22:43):
I don't think so, not at all.

Speaker 18 (22:45):
She's like a little bit of a silently intimidating character,
So I think that like might be possible. But if
we're in a committed relationship, you prioritize me. If you
get this personality, let me know by actually actively choosing me.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
But here's the thing, I don't consider this a committed relationship. No,
if you can't bring me around, yeah, yeah, exactly. If
how do your friends not.

Speaker 8 (23:06):
Know about me?

Speaker 14 (23:06):
That's like a secret they you know.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
They know the old part of a relationship is you
were a part of their lives. I agree with you,
so they know she exists.

Speaker 18 (23:15):
Yes, she's talked to a few of them on social Oh,
he's just never allowed her or invited her, and she
has not invited herself to mesh with these friends. And
when it comes up in conversation, he's, you know, just
kind of does a great job skirting it.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Okay, let's let's consider another possibility. Maybe as sort of
on the heels of what Daniel said, there are a
bunch of scumbacks. Maybe they're not, but maybe for some reason,
he is ready for a new life. He wants a
life with new people. But then again, if he's still
hanging out with them, then that's not the case. I
don't know.

Speaker 18 (23:48):
Yeah, he says he has one, like she says, he
has one core group, like that person you know that
always hangs out with the same friends, and that's that,
that's his social life.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
I have a really dear friend who has been in
a relationship for me many years and has never met
the family, has never met anyone in his circle ever,
But to continue to move on and life is still whatever.

Speaker 9 (24:10):
It is, and they're both happy about that.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
It doesn't seem that way. I think it's more of
a it's just the way it is, so we live
with it. I don't know. I don't want to sit
here and say, well, I would never do that. I
would never because I mean, because we're all different. I
mean we all have different different levels of patience and whatever.

Speaker 18 (24:29):
But it wasn't making her feel very secure, Like that's
what started this part of the conversation is the way
she talked about it. She's feeling a little insecure with
herself and her relationship to him. So that's why I'm like,
all right, let's let's just talk about the potential of
this being a serious red flag and maybe it's not
quite as rosy as you feel like it is.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
I like this text. Maybe he's a gamer and all
his friends are online.

Speaker 14 (24:54):
Maybe maybe all his friends are just imaginary friends.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
May or maybe maybe maybe she needs to like follow
follow him some night.

Speaker 8 (25:07):
That's the best answer.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Follow him. Where's he going with? He said, Let's go
see what they're doing. What if they're like, you know,
some satanists.

Speaker 9 (25:17):
Yeah, actually they worked for this.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, maybe they're they're like they're killing frogs and things.

Speaker 16 (25:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
I don't know. Hello Melissa, Hi, how are you guys
doing very well? I'm so glad you're listening. I'm so
glad you're participating in the conversation. I know that you
said you were in a relationship for two years and never.

Speaker 16 (25:39):
Ever, never have a situationship.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
A situationship, and never met his friends. All right, go ahead.

Speaker 16 (25:46):
Yeah, So we had met online and it was all
great in the beginning, and then I couldn't wait for
him to meet my family and friends. My sister went
on two double dates with him my friends, but I
never met his family, never met his friends.

Speaker 24 (26:04):
And it started to make me feel like I was
a kept secret. So I ended up breaking up with
him on Valentine's Day.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Okay, cool, But wait, what's your gut feeling telling you?
Why do you think? It may not be accurate? But
why do you what's your hunch? Why do you think
he never ever introduced you to his family or friends
in two years?

Speaker 16 (26:28):
Well, I think it was a couple things. His parents
he told me, were really strict. It was also an
inter racial relationship, so I think he was a little
nervous to introduce me and have different aspects that he
wasn't used to to introduce me to. But I also think,

(26:50):
like for him, he had trouble with commitment, like I
was looking to always define it, and he was like, oh,
I feel like we're moving too fast. But he was
also older than me. He was about sixty years older
than me, So I'm like, what do you mean, Like
how long do you think you know you're looking for
a commitment and how long do you think you would know?

(27:10):
And I just felt like I was always making these
pieces for him, like why he couldn't come out to
me out with friends because we were always invited to
things that I would always show up by myself.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
That's not a relationship. I mean, well it is, it's
just not a very healthy one in my opinion. I mean,
and you, obviously, after two years, realized that you deserve
better than that. So kaboom, you know, goodbye, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 15 (27:36):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 16 (27:37):
Now I'm now I'm in a new relationship and couldn't
be happier right away. He couldn't wait to introduce me
to friends and family, and I'm like, to me, it was
such a big deal, but it was also a bare minimum.
And it just made me realize how easy it is
to just be treated respect and.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yes, there you go. Yeah, all right, Well, thank you
Melissa and best of luck with your new fresh I
know his friend relationship.

Speaker 22 (28:02):
Thank you so.

Speaker 10 (28:02):
Much, guys.

Speaker 16 (28:03):
I love you guys so much. I hope you have
a great day.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Oh you too, hope you do too. And finally we
talked to Shannon. Hi.

Speaker 25 (28:08):
Shannon, Hi, how are you guys doing very well or
doing well?

Speaker 9 (28:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (28:12):
I don't want to speak for everyone. If you're not
doing well, speak now.

Speaker 10 (28:17):
So I totally think she should leave him. I mean,
I was in a relationship for four years. I got
engaged in December, it was done by June. There were
so many red flags. I wasn't allowed to go out
with the boys with him. He would go out all
the time. When I asked, so can I come, No,
I was never allowed to come. I mean I did
meet his family and everything, I mean down the line.

(28:39):
There was some toughle there, but he was definitely a
mama's boy. But honestly, I think that it's better off.
She's better alone. There's definitely some piss in this dating
pool nowadays. I think men are dogs, and you know,
if they can't bring you around their friends and show
you your family, like I don't understand, I don't see
really anything happening there.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
There you go. You want someone that makes you feel
secure and loved and protected and you know, and there's
there should be no doubt that they're that they're into
you and they want you to meet their family and friends.

Speaker 14 (29:10):
What's that, Danielle Sam did She has she ever said hey,
can I come out with you and the guys?

Speaker 9 (29:14):
Yeah, she's let him know.

Speaker 14 (29:16):
He has just said no, I don't.

Speaker 18 (29:18):
He's not He's crafty. He hasn't said no. It's more
like we'll make a plan. This one won't work, we'll
get there. And it's been a year of not getting
which just saying no, We're.

Speaker 9 (29:25):
Just saying no basically exactly.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Shannon. Sounds like you know exactly what it is you
want and exactly what it is you deserve. And I'm
so happy that you that it's totally totally totally uh,
your your walk in life, right. I love that. I
love that go for it exactly.

Speaker 10 (29:44):
Nobody should fight for love. It should be you know,
given and taken and you should give it him return.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Amen. I love it all right, Shannon, Thank you very much.
I appreciate your call.

Speaker 10 (29:53):
Thank you guys, we love you, love.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
You by see there you go, So best of luck
with your friend.

Speaker 16 (29:59):
I know.

Speaker 18 (29:59):
I think the bare basement of any relationship should be
at least making you feel better about yourself than you
would without them, whatever that means to you.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
So if it's not well, at least in dialogue you say, look,
you're making me feel like crap about myself because you
make me feel like there's something wrong. Right, you're not
introducing me to your friends and your family.

Speaker 18 (30:15):
Now, if you think you deserve better, you probably do excellent.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
If you love the Morning Show, it's a good idea
to follow our socials.

Speaker 8 (30:23):
Do you know what's good for me?

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Elvis Duran's show, Follow Them to day? Elvis Dan in
the Morning Show, Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Look. In the old days, someone at work would come
in with the sheet of paper saying, Hey, my kids
selling cookies. You want to buy some, It's going to
send them all to Iwan. Okay, great, But now I
got this text the other day from a friend saying, Hey,
I want you to buy some cookies from a kid's school.
I'm like, here we go. And you have a friend

(31:02):
scary that sent you the same exact link for the
same thing. Tell everyone about this is infuriating.

Speaker 21 (31:07):
Yeah, just yesterday in the group chat of twenty guys,
my friend drops the link and says, hey, do a
good thing for my son's cookie sale, could you please,
So we all clicked on it.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
I'm like, oh, I'll buy some cookies. Then it leads
me to a link.

Speaker 21 (31:20):
And a checkout of a bakery of gourmet cookies where
it's six cookies which I got charged forty six dollars
from the bank from Bank Cookies.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Who banged me out for forty six dollars. Bank Cookies
are fabulous, they really are. They're beautiful. But I'm saying, now,
this kid, the kid didn't even know, has no clue
who I am or that I even made this purchase.

Speaker 21 (31:42):
All he sees is he's on the tally board that
he went up by forty six dollars because his father
dropped it in the group and we all had felt
compelled to do this.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
So we're all buying cookies.

Speaker 10 (31:52):
Now.

Speaker 21 (31:53):
We got hundreds of dollars worth of cookies out there
that are coming. But I'm saying, where are the days
of the five dollar box? We're the days of like
cookies and handing the matway and doing real work.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
So you hear the angst in Scary's voice. Don't get
Danielle started on popcorn.

Speaker 14 (32:08):
Oh my gosh, So I love I mean, I really
love the ones that the boy Scouts give out, you know,
but there's a different gourmet popcorn thing going around the
other day. My girlfriend, who I love, she says, hey,
can you buy some? No problem there. It was for
cheerleading or something. I click on it. Three bags and
when I tell you, these bags are tiny bags, they're

(32:30):
not big bags. It was sixty something dollars. And I'm like,
what off? And I'm like, okay.

Speaker 8 (32:36):
She is so lucky that I love her.

Speaker 14 (32:38):
And her little ones. Because I was like, okay, well
you know, and I was like, it was cheaper to
buy the three bags than just the one bag. I'm like,
forget it. So cute.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
You still look, you know, you're helping some organizations that
probably probably deserve it, of course, but this is highway robbery. Yes, gandhi,
I got.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Got for a ninety dollars ten of popcorn ninety bucks.

Speaker 8 (32:57):
I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 6 (32:58):
So they actually rang the doorbell at my sister's house
and I thought, oh, you're actually making some effort. I'm
gonna buy something from You bought the stupid tin of
popcorn ninety dollars.

Speaker 8 (33:07):
And then my.

Speaker 6 (33:08):
Sister texted me the next day that I made her
house a mark because I bought that.

Speaker 8 (33:12):
And the kids keep coming back, keep coming back.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
That's what happens. That's what happens when you feed the
neighborhood cat. They keep coming back.

Speaker 6 (33:20):
It is a scam though. The link is the worst.
Like they're not even working at all for this. They're
just coming over, like, give me the money.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
The kids don't know. The kids don't know. Here's the thing.
This started years ago on our show, and it actually
became kind of a funny thing. Girl Scout cookies. It
got to the point where no, stop texting, stop asking
Uncle Elvis to buy your girl Scout cookies. I don't.
I'm glad you're listening. The only exception I make is
if I buy them, if they send them to the troops. Yeah,

(33:46):
and by the way, if one person texts me right
now to buy them, I will do it. But if
you fifty of it the first one through, good, you're in.
I'm gonna buy some cookies for the troops. I don't
even if they're selling them then do they sell them
me around now? I think so anyway, But four cookies
for one hundred and seventy five dollars stuff insane, insane, ridiculous.

Speaker 8 (34:05):
Listen, hundreds of dollars in scotti these kids. I'm done today.
I'm done on his daughter.

Speaker 14 (34:11):
No cookie dough that wound up going bad and I
had to thrown in the garbage.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yea man, but they're so worth it that Elvis, I
didn't ask you this time. I bypassed you. I asked
her thank you. I feel bad. Here's the thing. If
if your kids are playing on a softball team and
they eat jerseys and they put they put our logo
on them, I'll buy them because we had logos many times.

Speaker 14 (34:33):
Yeah for dodgeball team. You've done that all right?

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Before we take a break, Uh, Nate's wearing a little
sign that says, ask me about my crushed ball. Did
you see what happened? Did you see my face during
the last break? I did? Your eyes rolled back in
your head and then it came down and they were crossed.
So I crossed my legs and my Pam wearing slightly tighter.

Speaker 8 (34:53):
Pants, right, I crossed my legs.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Somebody need me in the ball like moves knuckle crabi
going on, hole on. Yes, somebody just kicked me right.
This sad.

Speaker 26 (35:07):
I haven't had pain like that since probably sixth or
seventh grade when somebody actually did that.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Nate have a question, Huh, why are you still wearing
pants that tight? Because they make make my butt look good?
What do you want from me?

Speaker 14 (35:19):
Look, he always wears pants one size smaller than they
should be.

Speaker 7 (35:23):
Yeah, you know there's other pants like like, there's others
you like that, Like Jack Archer makes pants that are tight.
They'll make your butt look good, but they've got room
and they're kind of stretchy in the crotchet.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
I don't care you need that. I think someone my
assumption someone has a straight Nate voodoo doll out there. Yeah,
that could be happening, you know.

only three places on that that I think are I.

Speaker 8 (36:28):
Don't know about those?

Speaker 22 (36:29):

Speaker 3 (36:29):

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Okay, have you seen the list? Have you? Have you
all seen the list? So a group of women put
together this list of twenty eight places women do not
want to go to on a first date. A lot
of it has to do with chain restaurants. Froggy And
by the way, just because I'm reading this list doesn't
mean we agree, right.

Speaker 8 (36:57):
Yeah, I disagree with the majority of it.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
What's Froggy are doing to somebody?

Speaker 22 (37:03):
Well?

Speaker 3 (37:03):

your eye? Are you okay? I don't know. It just
it like flew in my eye a second ago and

Ready to dot dot on the first day?

Speaker 8 (40:33):

are about people going home to watch Netflix and getting killed. Murder,
go into the guy's house. No, okay? How about church?
The first date at church? For me, that's okay, I
do that either. Well, you wouldn't. But there are some
people if they if they find out before first date

What if it's your grandlether's funeral at the church?

to work out. Hey, you know what, tomorrow morning, Saturday morning,
why don't we go to the gym and we'll go
have lunch after. Would you do that?

Speaker 15 (41:20):
God?

Speaker 6 (41:20):
No, no, because then I'm also going to feel a
lot of pressure about what I get at lunch because
this idiot's a gym buff and I'm like, oh, we
just worked out and I have to eat a salad.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Not everyone I go to the gym, I'm not a
gym buff.

Speaker 8 (41:31):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (41:31):

eat around because they're so healthy.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Oh I know, Yeah, Tommy Tommy de Daria. Forget he's
on the show at the time. I would I ate

Speaker 3 (42:06):
First date, family functions?

Speaker 14 (42:08):

Speaker 8 (42:25):
Have no joy about understand this?

Speaker 3 (42:26):
A hookah bar, hooka bar? Or go out just for drinks.
Let's mean out for a drink. What's wrong with that?
They're all functioning alcoholics? Or they say another place? Not
just not to kick off a relationship for the first
date is on any place or going to any place
that requires a long drive. I agree with you, Yeah,
I agree with that.

Speaker 8 (42:47):
You want to be able to go home quickly?

Speaker 16 (42:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (42:49):
Yes, scary one I want to meet the high maintenance
women who put this list together, because coffee dates and
going out for a drink are two of the biggest icebreakers.
How are you supposed to go for a long, five
hour dinner if you can't like screen the person first
and go out with them and have a nice converse.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
A lot of people would agree with you. But also,
I know, but going after the high what do you
call them? The women?

Speaker 10 (43:15):
Well?

Speaker 3 (43:15):
I know, but but that's what they're saying.

Speaker 14 (43:18):
At the gas station, and I want to do that.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
What's that? What's that? Garrett? What's left? We just went
through everything.

Speaker 6 (43:30):
You get a park beach, But then someone's gonna be like,
it's free at a puck, you cheap skate.

Speaker 14 (43:37):
If someone took out a coupon on their first date,
would you be cool with it or would.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
You be like, oh, that's another conversation. I have no problem.

Speaker 25 (43:44):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Just take their money. If I'm just please someone take
me out, I don't care. I'll go to card. What
if somebody takes you on a on a day uses
the gift card. I don't see that there's a problem.
I don't either. There are some people that would I
just want to the video that is going around this
woman she's getting out of the Is this where this
came from? She was getting out of the car and
the guy was taking here of her cheesecake from She
wouldn't get out. She's like, I'm not getting out of

(44:06):
this car and going out there.

Speaker 8 (44:07):
If I was him, I would have been like, fine,
stay there.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
I would to get out of this car, but I'm
not going in. You're going to launch her in the
hot car and got in dinner.

Speaker 20 (44:16):
You know.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
Producer Sam and I were talking about this and I
couldn't agree more. Christy High, good morning, Good morning. So
your first date took you where? And did you like
it or not?

Speaker 19 (44:28):
We went to Hooters?

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Okay, okay, So how how did that conversation go? How
was this proposed to you?

Speaker 27 (44:36):
Well, well, we were actually supposed to go to a
different restaurant, but the wait was too long and I
was starving because I was about probably an hour and
a half late with meeting him for our first date.
So we saw Hooters and I was like, I'm finally
going there.

Speaker 15 (44:54):
Let's go to Hooters.

Speaker 27 (44:55):
I said, you know, I love their buffalo chicken salad.
So that's what we' I think that's a great date.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Okay, that was the first date. Were there any dates after?

Speaker 15 (45:05):
Oh yeah, we're still together.

Speaker 27 (45:06):
Oh twenty seventeen.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Yeah, wow, that's so cool. If someone said to me
and Samantha was saying the same thing, Hooters, I.

Speaker 8 (45:15):
Hell yeah, yeah it was my pick. And he never
called me back.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
He thought I was kidding.

Speaker 8 (45:20):
I'm like, I'm at Hooters.

Speaker 9 (45:21):
And then I was at Hooters and he's like, you
want to go somewhere else? I'm like, not the most
do you need to? And then he just sat there
and didn't have fun all night.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Oh and then you married him?

Speaker 22 (45:32):
All right?

Speaker 3 (45:32):
Well, Christie, thank you. I think I'm gonna put Hooters
at the top of them, the top of the first
date list. Thank you, Christy, Thank you for listening to
us every day.

Speaker 14 (45:39):
You imagine going to Buffalo Wildwater with Nate on his
first date.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Hold on, thank you, Christy. You have a good day.

Speaker 14 (45:44):
Okay, he had to put his gloves on.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Yeah, my gloves and bring.

Speaker 8 (45:48):
My PEPSI Nate, you should never take a dare.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
That's right, That's right, Danielle, because he has gird, he
has aird, but no, Yon, Nate, he can't eat any
fingerfoods without his surgical gloves.

Speaker 27 (45:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
I mean it's the same gloves you use when you
go out to the barn and check the horse. You
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 26 (46:04):
Just imagine the date that I go on that I
put on my gloves and she puts on her gloves
match made, and.

Speaker 14 (46:09):
It's not gonna happen. And so you're going on a
date and you're you look like a crazy person.

Speaker 8 (46:14):
They're like, forget, it's still killer.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
Are those the same gloves you use in your kill room?

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Stop it.

Speaker 6 (46:21):
If I went on on date and the guy put
on gloves while he was eating rings, I would very
take a picture and send it to my friends, like.

Speaker 14 (46:29):
You would give your destination and say if.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
I don't come home, here you go, hey Jermaine? Yes, yes, okay,
So first date? Where was it who proposed this?

Speaker 22 (46:39):
By the way, uh so this was my idea. I
thought it would be super cool, super like m cool guy.
Yeah we went to hot yoga.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
Oh okay, okay, we have we have a mix of
emotions in the room. Okay. So producer Sam said she
would love a first date at the hot yoga.

Speaker 9 (46:56):
I would have loved that.

Speaker 22 (46:57):
Yeah, I would I would smells. The smells that came
out of both of us was definitely unattractive.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
I don't know, all those pheromones rolling around. And then
of course I was you know, I went to hot
yoga one time, Jermaine, and I've never heard so many
people farting in the same room. Ever, it was like
a locker room. So your idea was like, okay, hot yoga.
And was there a uh was there hesitation in your
friends and demeanor?

Speaker 2 (47:28):
No?

Speaker 22 (47:29):
No, it was like, oh coo, I think that's super dope.

Speaker 26 (47:32):
Let's do it.

Speaker 22 (47:33):
And she was hyped with it. And yeah, the smells
and two parts and yeah, we didn't see each other.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Only one part's acceptable. German, you know what the.

Speaker 22 (47:47):
One Okay, I get it. We'll stretch it, you know.
And everything that.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
We've mentioned about being off limits for first dates, I
think do we all agree hot yoga is probably the winner. Yeah,
you got it, germane you got it. Man, Hey, good
listening to you, and thanks for listening to us.

Speaker 22 (48:07):
No problem, have a good big This texture.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
Says, I have a straight first date, no go out
for drinks policy. I just feel like this is the
bottom of the barrel. Such a basic date, and he
asked me what told him, hey be more creative?

Speaker 6 (48:21):
Well, what does everybody expect somebody to like? Wine and
dine and impress the crap out of them on the
first date. That's when you're getting to know a person.
I might hate them, they might like this guy had
fart too much, like you have no idea, and then
you want them to waste all their creative juices on
that first date.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
He did, Yes, thank you. Here's the thing, we're all different,
our profiles as far as level of humor and sarcasm,
it's all different.

Speaker 22 (48:50):
Right.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
If you say we're going on a first date and
we're going to fill in the blanket like the most ridiculous,
screwed up, apped up place ever, I'll be like, Okay,
I'm let's go. Yeah, just because it's a challenge.

Speaker 14 (49:00):
Absolutely.

Speaker 8 (49:02):
What's your first date with Alex? Do you remember?

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Oh, it wasn't really a date. The monster. It's a
gay bar, okay, and everyone in there are so old,
I mean they're alsome, like from aldehyde. But that's where
I met Uncle Johnny and drunk Jimmy. Sounds like the mob. Yeah, Jackson, Hello, allright,
so you say going to Starbucks Starbucks. Well, good morning.

(49:26):
You're saying Starbucks is actually a really choice first date place.

Speaker 22 (49:29):
Why is that?

Speaker 28 (49:30):
In your opinion, Starbucks is the number one first date
place Elvis. Okay, especially if it's a date that is boring.
There are dates that you're not really sure of but
you made and you don't want to play out. All right,
it's a cup of coffee, maybe a pastry. You know,
there's a lot of people, it's public, and it's easy
to walk away from.

Speaker 22 (49:48):
It's a short date.

Speaker 28 (49:49):
So if it's dunk, great, coffee's over that I can
eat you to buy. But the conversation is.

Speaker 22 (49:54):
Sparkling and the mood is good.

Speaker 28 (49:57):
I mean, it can escalate all the way back to.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Your I don't know so Jackson, if you invited me
out on the first days of Starbucks, I would immediately think,
you know, he's smart because he knows that if I'm
if I'm like, you know, a piece of crap, he
can like exit quickly and for a blind date, Starbucks
is great. Do they have menus in Braille?

Speaker 22 (50:18):
No, they don't.

Speaker 28 (50:19):
They should.

Speaker 22 (50:21):
Actually that they do.

Speaker 8 (50:25):
It Actually would be nice on like.

Speaker 14 (50:26):
A Saturday morning you could say, like me and me
at Starbucks, and we'll see how the day goes.

Speaker 6 (50:30):
You know that only in the morning people aren't getting
super dressed up, so you kind of have a better
gauge on all.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
What do you really Okay, see Jackson, I see you're
you're playing You're playing straight here.

Speaker 22 (50:39):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
And plus, don't drink coffee before you go to hot yoga.

Speaker 28 (50:43):
Yeah, oh.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
Honey, clean up on aisle four. All right, thank you Jackson.
We'll see you Starbucks. Thank you so much. Straight in
eight Okay.

Speaker 26 (50:53):
I think that's brilliant Jackson, because you can tell a
lot about a person based on their order, because if
they're doing non fat oat, no whip twenty eight degrees celsius, no,
thank you.

Speaker 14 (51:04):
I gotta say that is the one thing that I
think is so horrible. If you go out to dinner
with someone and you're just starting out be you don't
just order the salad because you think that's what they want,
order the cheese burgen fries because they're gonna see it eventually.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Anything but what he's saying, like oil extra oat, sometimes
that is being them being Then.

Speaker 6 (51:27):
Also, if somebody's lactose intolerant, you don't want them not
to get do you want them to get.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
First day?

Speaker 14 (51:36):
What's wrong with lactose intolerant people?

Speaker 3 (51:37):
I'm sorry, I love my milk. You're gonna have it
and stuff. I'm gonna you're you don't want to you
don't you want to rename your first date mud flaps.
I don't mean that mud flaps. So here's Nate. If

(51:59):
you watch a dinner with Nate, he's gonna let's see,
looking at your menu, do you have anything this binding?
And I get gird, I.

Speaker 14 (52:10):
Need to take my gloves out.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
I'm going to say it.

Speaker 18 (52:13):
Yeah, what I just realized the irony of the guy
with gloves saying you can't order oat milk?

Speaker 25 (52:18):
You maintenance?

Speaker 3 (52:20):
What's frog?

Speaker 7 (52:21):
The guy that thinks it's high maintenance is also the
guy that looks on the menu and goes, hey, I
know you got these things in the back.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
Why don't you rip this up? Even though it's not
on the menu. That's what he does.

Speaker 8 (52:31):
What's roof is your drink? It's with milk?

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Oh my god? Did you sneak le? What's scary?

Speaker 21 (52:38):
Would you agree though, that any date that you go
on that doesn't encourage social stimulation or social interaction is
a bad.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
First date like the movies.

Speaker 21 (52:48):
That's a terrible first date.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
No, because that could be the way you met each other.
You we really want to go see this movie together
because you know, to know each other well, because when
you leave the theater, you go there someplace and talk.

Speaker 8 (53:00):
Yeah, you can talk about the movie. Maybe.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
I don't know. I think it's different for everyone. I
think painting everyone into a corner saying I feel like
this about you, and therefore that is who you want.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (58:05):
I mean you need to be careful. Okay, let me
ask you this. You followed them, You know where this
person who cut you off in traffic lives? What were
you going to do with that information? Knowing where they live?

Speaker 19 (58:17):
That's what I'm trying to figure out. You know, I
think I can finally sleep better and just you know,
put this to rest. I mean, we've all been cut
off in traffic before, and it is exactly racket if
you're having a bad day, and it just it throws
a wrench in the in the gears. And I was
just so infuriated that this person the one they unsafely
cut me off. You know, we've all been doing the

(58:38):
speed limit, you know, are a little bit over in
the left lane, and someone tries to pass you in
the right lane. There's traffic ahead, and they get back
behind you. So this has been going on for five minutes.
Now finally they're agitated and they cut me off and
almost hit me and then break check me. That's what
threw me over the edge, right right. They slowed down

(58:58):
to about twenty miles an hour on a sixty five
mile an hour zone, so it was definitely not safe.
And then there's cars behind me that are getting.

Speaker 22 (59:06):
Close to me, so I was I was absolutely upset.

Speaker 19 (59:09):
I obviously I get in the right lane and it's
about fifteen minutes later we're on the same road again,
and I recognized the car because there was a dent
in the bumper, so I took a picture, you know,
and then you know, then I'm following them and I
have little dice that are in my windshields. So I
think they recognized that it would me. Now they're speeding.

Speaker 20 (59:28):
Now they're speeding, going through red lights, stop sign going
going around cars and oncoming traffic. Finally I couldn't keep
up with them, and I was like, you know what,
I got their license plate whatever. Sure enough, four months later,
here's the same car again.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
Oh my god. No, wait a minute, now, hold on,
no hope, no Russell, hold on. We got to catch
up on a few things here. First of all, this
has been in your brain for four months? Has it
been bothering you or did it just come back and
it was resurfacing when you saw this car again.

Speaker 19 (59:59):
You know, I'd say about every other week, I'd see
a car that looks familiar and it would kind of
retrigger this thought. But no, it wasn't on the front
of my mind.

Speaker 16 (01:00:07):
Everything right, So.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
Your question was there's something wrong with me?

Speaker 16 (01:00:10):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
Part of me says no? And I'll tell you. Why
have you ever everyone on the show, everyone listening. You've
been in traffic and someone pulls a stupid ass move?
Do you find that if you find that, you need
to see them and what they look like, so you
can like put a face because otherwise it was a
car that ran in front of you. No, in reality,
you need to see who was driving that car. You

(01:00:32):
want to humanize them. But Russell took it a step
further and now he knows where they live. So I
don't know we I mean, you any thoughts. I mean
with Russell crazy, he's out of his mind, yes he is.

Speaker 14 (01:00:44):
Yeah, And I just don't think he should take it
to the next step, like don't keep going by the
house because they're gonna say restraining water or something like,
don't do anything like it's done. I get nervous that
people have like weapons that are going to come after Oh, yeah,
be careful, just be careful.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
Yeah, n hinged, be careful with that. Yeah, go ahead, Gandhi.

Speaker 6 (01:01:03):
I would get it if maybe in some way you
were able to find this person online and then.

Speaker 8 (01:01:07):
Do a deep dive and you spiral that way.

Speaker 6 (01:01:08):
That's not as strange, but to physically stalk the person
and then end up near their home or whatever finding
out where they live.

Speaker 8 (01:01:15):
I just I worry for your safety, Like Danielle.

Speaker 19 (01:01:17):
Let me ask you for the record, like I do
not doing anything okay, well good, but but you but wait,
you have done something.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
You followed them to their house, that is to do something.
But hold on, wait now, another thing you need to
remember is, obviously you guys are on the same road
from time to time. There's a chance this guy may
recognize your dice again and come after you, you know.

Speaker 31 (01:01:39):
Take them down.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
You share the road with this person, and the chances
are spin the wheel you may run into this person again.
So what are you gonna do? Then let's let it go.

Speaker 19 (01:01:49):
I think I'm gonna take the dice out of the wind.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
Yeah, okay, you're gonna miss those dive put it on
a different car or buy a different car. But yeah,
I love that.

Speaker 16 (01:02:00):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
It happened to me yesterday. Someone was driving like a
total a hole and I had to speed to get
up to them so I could see what they looked like.
I wanna what kind of buffoon drives like a babboon?
And now I know that I know what she looks like.
I know I saw her there. She is idiot.

Speaker 6 (01:02:18):
Don't you sometimes feel bad though, when you're raging and
it's a little old person and you're like.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Oh, they can't Yeah, you know, if I know if
it was a nun, Yeah, i'd ever like, Okay, I'm
sorry none, all right, we gotta go, Russell. Please be
careful out there and don't be that guy who you
know we we see on the news. You know what
I'm saying. Yeah, people people cutting you off, stop it.

(01:02:42):
Stop driving like a bunch of a hole. Thank your
brother waking up in taking them on so many things.

Speaker 4 (01:02:52):
Tell Vis Duran in the Morning live from the Mercedes
Benz Interview Lounge.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
We always go and Dan Harris hangs out with us.
He's at the family. Thank you.

Speaker 31 (01:03:02):
I even crash your Christmas parties, I know, and I.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
Hope you do next year in the year after. So anyway,
Dan Harris. Of course, about eleven years ago we met
Dan became very good friends with him because we love him.
He wrote Ten Percent Happier, this incredible, incredible book about meditation.
Back was eleven years ago, but back in a time
where a lot of people thought meditation was just a freaky, weird,
who what are you doing kind of thing.

Speaker 9 (01:03:25):
Not the Indians.

Speaker 8 (01:03:26):
We've we've loved it for a long time.

Speaker 31 (01:03:29):
Absolutely, you're also invented it there that it all started
right there.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
But now You're You're ten percent Happier podcast is huge,
and you got this app. Were loving the new app
and look so much going on. But I'm glad you're
here because every time Dan's on with us, we receive
such such great feedback about how you make everyone feel.
Thank you. So they're like, who's this guy, Dan Harris

(01:03:56):
and you're gonna get to know him. Let's talk to
Dan Harris. Let's go. What do you want to talk about?

Speaker 31 (01:04:02):
Well, let me ask you guys a question. By February,
have you abandoned your New Year's resolutions?

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Why?

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
This is why I don't make them. I don't make
resolutions at.

Speaker 31 (01:04:14):
All, because you just know that you won't keep them.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
I just I'm thinking, you know what, I don't think
of it as okay, starting January one, I'm going to
do this better in my life. If I really truly
want to be better in my life in that aspect,
I will do it right this moment. I don't wait
until midnight strikes.

Speaker 31 (01:04:33):
I was like that forever, but then I saw there's
a bunch of research that shows that there's a phenomenon
known as the fresh start effect. So if you use
the momentum that naturally comes from a fresh start, like
the beginning of a new year, or even the beginning
of a new week, your birthday. That is, there's power

(01:04:55):
to that that can fuel the abiding nature of the habit.
You can use that to boot up a habit one
of But.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
These are New Year's resolutions. I mean, it's a proven
fact that you can go to any gym in America
right after the first of the year and they're all
crowded as hell.

Speaker 31 (01:05:11):
And then a week later, yes, I mean that most
people have fallen off their resolutions by February first, So
this is a real problem. I mean, I'm just curious
for the rest of you. Do you struggle with this.

Speaker 6 (01:05:24):
If I set a goal that's like I'm gonna work
out every day, probably by February I fall off. But
because I know that I make mine more of by
the end of the year, I would like to have
accomplished this.

Speaker 8 (01:05:33):
Yes, so that is easier for me.

Speaker 31 (01:05:35):
There's data for that myself. There's research behind that approach
that if you make your resolution very focused and specific,
as opposed to I'm going to get fit, you have
more success. And if you make it smaller rather than larger,
you are also more likely to have success. It's starting
small and doing it in manageable little chunks is the

(01:05:57):
way to go. So, for example, if exercises your resolution,
if you put your if you start by simply putting
your running shoes near the door, that is a good
first step.

Speaker 14 (01:06:08):
Yes, oh yeah, I.

Speaker 6 (01:06:09):
Read eighty percent of accomplishing something is getting dressed to
do that thing. Yes, so if you want to go
to the gym, just put your gym clothes on. If
you're not feeling motivated, and then all of a sudden
you're like, you know what, no reason not to do this,
I'm dressed.

Speaker 8 (01:06:19):
Let's go.

Speaker 31 (01:06:20):
It's interesting to view this through the lens of evolution.
We did not evolve for long term projects. We evolved
we had we were in a survival situation. So we're
really good at avoiding threats and finding food and so
that is just the way our minds are wired. Our
brains are wired. And so something like the slow, steady

(01:06:43):
slog that's required to start a habit, we're just not
wired for that. But if you divide it up into
little chunks, then you can succeed.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
What do you mean little chunks? Talk about like.

Speaker 31 (01:06:54):
Putting your say, if you say to yourself, I want
to my doctor saying I need to exercise more. If
you start really small and keep it really small all
the way, start with putting your shoes next to the door.
Start with a couple of days a week, I'm just
gonna wear my exercise clothes, or if meditation is your goal,
I'm just gonna get into the position three times a week.

(01:07:14):
Those tiny little steps start to compound over time, because
then you're not cutting against the grain of the brain
that evolution bequeathed us. You're working with what you've got.

Speaker 14 (01:07:25):
Because if you give up everything, I'm gonna eat better,
and you give up snacking and sweets, and that's just
too much. You can't do.

Speaker 3 (01:07:32):
All though the resolution is balls deep from the very beginning.

Speaker 31 (01:07:36):
You know that's the thing is you should your resolution
should be smaller.

Speaker 14 (01:07:40):
Not balls deep.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Okay, Wow, I love you guys.

Speaker 31 (01:07:51):
No, No, I'm just deciding. Do I play along and perhaps.

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
Ruin my career? Do I just appreciate you?

Speaker 10 (01:07:58):
Know?

Speaker 3 (01:07:59):
To be fair here. Your career that you are rolling
with now, I think is perfectly perfectly in tune with
what we're saying and how you could be as irrelevant
and not irrelevant, as irreverent as you want to be.

Speaker 31 (01:08:11):
I think the title of my next book is going
to be balls Deep.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
Should do that. Here we go, Now we go. Harris
is Hey, I got a caller here, Tatiana from Long
Island talking about meditation. Okay, I know we're kind of
jumping around, but I'm gonna jump around. Am I doing
the right here?

Speaker 18 (01:08:27):
Hello?

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
Tatiana? How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
Good morning, I'm doing well.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
How are you doing very well? Say hello to Dan Harris? Bye, Dan,
good morning, Hi Tatana, good morning. So you're a teacher
and you actually employed Dan's techniques in your school.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
So yeah, I'm the principle of Harmony High School in
Long Island and we're a therapeutic school and we use
so many of the different techniques that Dan writes about
that is incredible.

Speaker 31 (01:08:55):
So what can you give me an example of a
technique that you've found really effective either for the staff
or the students.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Definitely, So we use a lot of the mindfulness meditation,
especially with our students when they're kind of getting stuck
in their anxiety. We have a whole clinical team here
that works at them on that. It's actually yesterday at
a staff meeting and use your sort of thought behind
this time management and compassion training and decided let's just

(01:09:23):
make a switch for the betterment of the students and staff.
So we are consistently using all of these different techniques
as part of ours just school's philosophy and therapeutic setting.

Speaker 31 (01:09:34):
How do you keep it going on? Are the things
we're talking about here? Is so many of us have
these good intentions. We want to have meditation in our life,
we want to exercise more, we want to eat healthy.
How do you not, as we keep saying, fall off
the wagon with these initiatives, I think we kind.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
Of hold each other accountable. Also, being a therapeutic setting,
we really try to live by that philosophy. We try
to hold each other countable in the positive ways. When
we catch ourselves or each other kind of being negative
or saying leading with those negative thoughts, we try to
encourage one another to make that change. Our students are
also just such and the inspiraate help us to reinforce

(01:10:16):
those habits as well, because we want to ensure that
we are modeling it for all of the students in
the building, and vice versa. Sometimes builds the us stress
and say Hey, you should try one of the techniques
like your strategic worrying, or like take a small bite
right now of what you can handle. And so it's
kind of Fitch cross collaboration environment and working here the

(01:10:36):
past four years and implementing all of these strategies that
we've learned and reading all the different philosophies you included.
I think it's even helped in personal life be able
to implement those as well.

Speaker 31 (01:10:48):
Tatana, that's beautiful. I want I do want to pick
up on something Tatiana said, just for everybody here who's
thinking about how do I actually stick with my resolutions?
Because that's my problem, she says. She said, A key
word there, accountable. We hold each other accountable. One of
the best ways to actually make sure you stick with

(01:11:09):
whatever your goal is is to do it as a
team sport.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
Well, I know, Okay, let me give you an example
of Tatiana, this is something you do not want to use.
At Harmony High School Gandhi for instance, right here, she
and Andy or Andrew and Josh. They have a few others.
They have a group and they all work out and
they all are accountable to each other with each other,

(01:11:33):
but they're mean and vicious about it.

Speaker 8 (01:11:37):
Then the term feral pig gets tossed around. But you
know what, calling me a feral pig makes me put
much shoes on that or by the door and go
to this.

Speaker 31 (01:11:44):
Wait, somebody called you a feral pig. Yeah, hello, Josh,
that is I'm not down with that. But trash talking,
trash talking is a great way to, you know, to
build morale. And I think there's I think I think
you're an example and a cautionary tales what I'm trying
to say. But I love trash talking. This is the

(01:12:06):
secret sauce of this show. And so a certain amount
of trash talking and camaraderie gets you into the gym
or whatever it is you're trying to do.

Speaker 14 (01:12:16):
I think this Dan Harris on the Road is your
next thing, like taking it to a school like Tatiana's
who actually already implements what you do. And you can
you know, you can charge a lot of money Dan,
Dan Harris.

Speaker 12 (01:12:29):
Or you know, just come for free.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Dan.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
We need to see your budgets and check your credit
score there. Tatiana, thank you for starting a conversation in
the room with us. We appreciate it, and thanks for
listening to our show too.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
Thank you all so much. Have a wonderful day you
too too.

Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
Let's get back to resolutions, shall we. Uh? Strategies, strategies
you already gave us one. Start small, okay.

Speaker 31 (01:12:57):
Yeah, so start small. Do it as a team sport.
I often say that life is easier and faster in
the hov lane or in the carpool lane. So social
support is the technical term psychologists use. Tatiana pointed at
that that's a massive strategy. So if you have a
goal for New Years, find people to do it with you,
as long as they don't call you a feral pig.

(01:13:19):
And so starting small is a huge one. And then
also having your resolution be something doable, not something vague
like I'm gonna get fit. It has to be specific,
like I'm going to try to go to the gym
two or three times a week. And then start small
with that. Another another huge strategy that I think is
really important is we are stuck in this culture in

(01:13:43):
an era of self optimization where everybody's trying to tweak
every aspect of their life. I'm counting my steps, I'm
counting my calories, I'm tracking my sleep, I'm striving for katosis.
I'm trying to be perfect all the time. I'm trying
to match what I'm seeing on Instagram so that I
can look like them, And there's this undercurrent of self
hatred there. This has often been referred to as the

(01:14:06):
subtle aggression of self improvement. What is motivating you to
make these resolutions? Is it because you want the best
for yourself? Or do you subtly hate yourself? And can
you tune into that and then try to counter program
against it. The tool to counter program against it is
self compassion, which we on the show have talked about before,

(01:14:27):
which is just this ability to talk to yourself the
way you would talk to a good friend. So, if
you're looking in the mirror and berating yourself for you know,
looking poresign or whatever it is, looking like a pig
or whatever it is, can you say, no, Dan, you
got this, You look great. Can you say whatever you

(01:14:48):
would say to a good friend in this moment. That
is a massive way to get under the hood and
try to tweak what is motivating you to do this
stuff in the first place.

Speaker 6 (01:14:58):
So would you say that that maybe a good New
Year's resolution for everybody would be get off of social
media as much as you can, because I think that
it creates the self hatred that you're talking about by
constantly comparing yourself. And I noticed I when it's silent,
go to that. And I also read recently that silence
is not the absence of sound. Silence is actually attention

(01:15:19):
to the present and to yourself. And I think that
more people are scared of that attention to themselves, and
then we're always scrolling, which that makes us feel bad.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Yes, there was.

Speaker 31 (01:15:30):
There have been studies where people have been given a
choice between sitting alone with their thoughts or getting an
electric shock, and most people choose the electric shock away.

Speaker 9 (01:15:44):
Why crazy.

Speaker 31 (01:15:45):
So it's a real fear that we have, like being
alone with ourselves. So I would say start small with that.
With meditation, for example, I often say one minute counts.
It's a great way to start. But the other thing
you said was about social media. This is something I've
been thinking about myself just in the last few days.
Is I just noticed, with watching my own mind, as

(01:16:06):
I've really trained myself to do over the last sixteen
years of meditation, I just see how unhappy I am
every time I'm on social media. And so I'm actually
really thinking about deleting the apps and just having my
team do the posting, because I see what it does
for me. It's a reliable source of unhappiness.

Speaker 14 (01:16:23):
I was telling them that when we went on vacation
last time, I gave it up for two days total,
and I put it aside and I didn't look at
it at all, and I have to say that I
got a lot more done. Yeah, my mind was clearer.
And now I even find myself like, if I pick
it up, I go, okay, I'm giving myself two seconds
with this. And I look and I go, that's it.
And I put it down, and I'm much better already

(01:16:44):
with not spending as much time going down that never
ending hole.

Speaker 31 (01:16:49):
It's amazing how quickly you can become convinced that your
life is horrible.

Speaker 25 (01:16:54):
Well, the thing is.

Speaker 3 (01:16:54):
But in addition to that, we're not spending time with ourselves. Yes,
when you're online, you're not with you. You're with others
that you don't know. Well, you're a stupid crap to say.

Speaker 31 (01:17:04):
Well, but you're you're you're not even with them, You're
you're you're in this like like purgatory between being with
yourself and being with other people. It's not real social interaction.
It's it's you're having these curated glimpses into edited, filtered
glimpses into other people's lives that make you feel terrible

(01:17:26):
about your life. By the way, it also makes you
feel terrible about the state of the world. Why Because
these algorithms run on fear and anger, the human emotions
that they know are the stickiest. They keep you scrolling
so and and I I say, call bullshit on that.
Call bullsh on what they're trying to sell you about

(01:17:47):
what this world actually consists of. I'm not trying to
gaslight you and say there's no war, there's no inequality,
there's no political polarization. But there are beautiful acts of generosity,
basic human kindness happening all all over all around us.
People teaching children, building buildings, holding the door open for
other people. But they're not in your news feed, and

(01:18:08):
you you have no way of focusing in on them.
If that's your view.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
Of the world.

Speaker 14 (01:18:14):
Wow, I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
Preach for the people to the back.

Speaker 6 (01:18:22):
The algorithm rewards rage because we all look at it.
We see something outrages and we look at it. So
for me, when I'm online, it will have me thinking
that the world is the craziest place and so chaotic,
which it might be, But when I'm in this room
with all of you, I don't feel that same way
because it's real people and that same stuff isn't happening.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
Well, are we addicted to it? Is that the problem?
Because it should be so easy to take your phone
and go.

Speaker 31 (01:18:46):
Every time you pick up your phone and interact with
any of it, but especially the social media. It's you
versus the smartest people in the world and the most
powerful supercomputers on earth. Who's gonna win?

Speaker 14 (01:18:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
Wow, I'm gonna a big daddy.

Speaker 8 (01:19:02):
I'm just a feral peg.

Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
And I'm addicted to.

Speaker 31 (01:19:06):

Speaker 31 (01:20:03):
Appreciated.

Speaker 15 (01:20:07):
All of you are so gilarious.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
Can I start my day with you?

Speaker 4 (01:20:15):
Mister Ran in the morning el mister rand in the
Morning show one hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
I hope I never ever experienced it. But I've never
been dumped in a relationship.

Speaker 18 (01:20:33):
Never.

Speaker 22 (01:20:34):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
I mean there's this one guy who but he was
he was a dumb ass henly dumped me. He just
like just fell off the planet.

Speaker 8 (01:20:41):
You were just ready for it, so it didn't matter.

Speaker 10 (01:20:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Yeah, And I'm you know, I'm almost done with life.
So I'm hoping, you know, look, I'm married. I'm hoping
I'm going to continue the trend of not being dumped.
But the thing is is, if you, depending on who
you talk to, if you're the person who dumpump someone
ended the relationship, sometimes you're considered to be the heartless monster,

(01:21:08):
you know whatever, And I'm hoping that if a relationship
is not working out, you do have the well you
have you have the wherewithal to maneuver out of that
in a nice, respectful way.

Speaker 14 (01:21:19):
Yeah hmm, well yes, unless they were really oh no, no,
you know, if it was right, they had it coming, yeah,
carry Ona would needs to be you know, involved.

Speaker 10 (01:21:29):
Then, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
So it's it's so easy to immediately think of the
person who was let going out of the relationship. You're like,
oh god, you know, I feel awful for them, and
I know what they're going through. Well I don't because
I've never been anything. But what about the person who
dumps it dumps them? I mean there is emotional stuff
going on there too. It's not the easiest thing in
the world to like say I this isn't working for

(01:21:51):
me without a doubt.

Speaker 8 (01:21:52):
I stayed in a relationship for years after I knew it.

Speaker 6 (01:21:55):
Was over because I felt so guilty about breaking up
with him, and I was like, what's it gon do
to his life? I feel so sad for him. I
know he doesn't want this, and it was awful, but
you got to pull the trigger.

Speaker 16 (01:22:06):
I just do that.

Speaker 12 (01:22:06):
Sometimes.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
I was reading an article yesterday from bold dot com
the seven stages the dumper goes through after a breakup.
They check all the socials, just kind of check on you,
see if you're doing okay.

Speaker 8 (01:22:16):
Totally I got blocked the.

Speaker 3 (01:22:17):
Last friends about you. Yep, they'll overthink how it went,
maybe how could have done it better, little regret, They'll
reread old messages, they will inevitably rebound, they'll experience regret,
and they'll feel relief. So if you're the dumper, those
are your seven stages of what you're gonna go through
today's day. You're gonna dump someone, You're gonna go through

(01:22:39):
those things.

Speaker 14 (01:22:39):
I don't believe it. See, I don't believe it a
hundred friends. I think it depends if someone really did
you wrong and you're dumping their ass for that reason,
I'm gonna skip all seven steps.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
You say that, But sometimes it's more complicated than that.
Sometimes you still love them even though they made a
big old hairy mistake, even though they yet totally.

Speaker 8 (01:22:56):
I would try to talk to his friends and be like,
how's he doing?

Speaker 3 (01:22:58):
Is he okay?

Speaker 6 (01:22:59):
And full of his friends were like I was specifically
told I'm not allowed to answer that question if you
ask me really, okay, all right, you know you go,
oh yeah, No. I didn't care about that part. I
just wanted to know if he was okay, like is
he doing all right? Not that I can do anything
about it, but how's he doing? And he also did
the thing where he went to all of our mutual
friends and tried to make them choose.

Speaker 8 (01:23:20):
Oh, you have to pick between the two of us.

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
That's I was like, all right, all right, let's talk
about the seven deadly sins. Listen, scars ready, there's seven
of them. I'm going to assume we each, on average
harbor three of them in our lives. Oh, let me
give you the seven deadly deadly sins? Right, yeah, why

(01:23:42):
is it deadly? Why does he call him deadly sins?
I'll then'll google that anyway. Okay, So number one is lust.
Let's discuss lust. Well, I mean they take it to the.

Speaker 4 (01:30:34):
All right, another episode of Sauce on the side.

Speaker 6 (01:30:37):
So we hung out a couple of times. He was
an interesting guy, and then I moved. I never told
him I was moving. You are You're in safe?

Speaker 4 (01:30:46):
Open your free iHeartRadio app search Sauce on the side
and listen now Elvis Duran in the Morning Elvis Duran
in the Morning Show, see you one hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
So I was reading something online last night and I
I turned off my computer and sat there and thought
about it, thought about what I read. And I know
you've probably done this too. How many sexual partners have
you had in your life now? And every time you
start thinking about them, if you're well, I don't know.

(01:31:16):
Some people me for instance, you start thinking like, Okay,
there's no way to there's no way to count that
you're gonna have like a ballpark idea or no, no,
I know, because no, there's just no way. And then
plus there's different degrees of what you did and what
counts and what doesn't you know that kind of thing.

Speaker 8 (01:31:35):
We have a whole discussion on that alone.

Speaker 14 (01:31:37):
Yeah, exactly, because some people, is.

Speaker 3 (01:31:40):
It all the way? Is it, you know, just the
tip let's talk about that's a full number. So yeah,
so I mean, is it just you know, I guess
you can use the old you know, first base, second based,
third base thing, and then there's an argument. We've had
this argument like what's first base, what's second base, what's
third base? It means different things to different people. But

(01:32:01):
this article goes on to say that the ideal number
of previous sexual partners is and I read this, I'm like,
oh boy, the number is thirteen for a person of
what age exactly?

Speaker 6 (01:32:15):
Because if yeah, if you're like twenty and you got
thirteen people, that's a little bit different than if you're fifty.

Speaker 3 (01:32:20):
And you have thirteen people. Well, by my age of
when I hit twenty, I was I had surpassed that number.
It was twenty. It was twenty, damn. So here I
am more than twice that. So the question is how
many people we slept with? So what happens is you know,
you can read this article and I can, I can

(01:32:41):
give you the I can give you the cliffs notes
in a second on what they're trying to tell us,
but just stopping and thinking like, okay, how many like you?
So you put yourself in different So I would put
myself in different bedrooms in my life, like where I
lived and call edge and you know whatever. And then

(01:33:01):
you know, havy times in a car you know, I
don't know, you know, or in someone else, or in
a hotel you know, or you know, in a kitchen
you know, wherever you did it, and there's there's I
don't know, I'm having difficulty adding them up, there's no
I'm so I finally just put my mind at ease,
saying it's not gonna happen. You're never going to figure
out how many people you've slept with, so let it

(01:33:22):
go because your number keeps getting stuck on let's start, No,
not even going down there. So have you ever have
you ever done this? Have you ever? Have you ever
actually taken a pen and a piece of paper and
actually started writing down numbers.

Speaker 6 (01:33:38):
So I think I might have told you this before,
but when I was in high school, one of my
very good friends did exactly what you're saying, and she
took a pen to paper and started writing down everyone
she had hooked up with. And then her mom found
it and she got in a lot of trouble. So
I realized at that moment, I would never do something
like that. She can go on spring break with me.

Speaker 3 (01:33:56):
You don't have to write names, just write to the
little one floor and then slash.

Speaker 8 (01:34:01):
She wrote all of the information, and like what they
had done, so there was no way.

Speaker 3 (01:34:04):
To get I would never do that.

Speaker 25 (01:34:07):
Damn.

Speaker 3 (01:34:07):
Someone just sent a text and says, I'm forty years old.
I've only had one. Oh my god, bless your heart,
because that would be so much easier.

Speaker 14 (01:34:16):
Where if we're looking at the exact act, like sex itself,
I only had two.

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
Thanks for sharing.

Speaker 14 (01:34:23):
If we're looking at if we're looking at other stuff, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
Like lolly poppy story. But what if it's just a
sexual encounter like you just you don't actually do anything,
You just like touch it. It doesn't count.

Speaker 8 (01:34:42):
That's like assault.

Speaker 3 (01:34:46):
No, no, but no no, they said it was okay
to touch asking for a friend. Uh yes, Scott, he
b what well, I have a list in my attic
that has that has three categories, but one is kissing,
one is fooling around, and one is going all the way. Yeah,

(01:35:10):
so I have a list. Why is it in your attic?

Speaker 13 (01:35:12):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
Where am I going to keep it? I don't want
kids to find it? I mean it's it's upstairs and
the rafters. Wow, god knows what else.

Speaker 22 (01:35:18):
Is up there?

Speaker 3 (01:35:19):
Probably bodies and your slain chair hanging from the ceiling.
Yeah that too.

Speaker 7 (01:35:26):
When we were living in South Florida, whe day, Lisa
was stuck in traffic on the way home, and so
she started writing down everybody, and she has the list.
I don't know where it is. She won't show it
to me, she won't let me see it. But my
name is last on the list. That's all I know.

Speaker 14 (01:35:40):
Well that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:35:41):
Yeah, that part's good, but I'm not allowed to see
the list.

Speaker 7 (01:35:44):
But she was bored in traffic and she's like, I'm
gonna write down everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:35:48):
I'm like, who does that? Wow? See what I learned
in my exercise and trying to figure this out is
once you think you've it's complete, then you you put
down the list, you leave it one. Then you're like,
oh wait, oh, wait a minute, there was Oh my god,
now that I recall Yeah, the Jack in the box bathroom,
don't ask Wow. Uh let's go talk to Kelsey online

(01:36:11):
one Kelse Yes, yes, Kelsey, do you really want to
be a part of this discussion? Are the flora is
all yours? What's on your mind?

Speaker 20 (01:36:22):
So?

Speaker 25 (01:36:22):
I just heard y'all talking, and I have had a
total of one hundred and thirty two partners. Okay, so
I am twenty five years old.

Speaker 3 (01:36:31):
Okay, Well, let me ask you a question. How do
you know? I mean, obviously you've you've kept count on
in your phone or something, because that's that's a that's
a number.

Speaker 25 (01:36:39):
I had a separate Facebook simply for these You.

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
Had your sexual Facebook just for that.

Speaker 25 (01:36:47):
Yes, I had a separate Facebook.

Speaker 3 (01:36:50):
Okay, well, look, so if you can keep up with
that number, God bless you, because I'll be honest, I
don't even know if if I'm near that number or not,
because I just didn't keep a Facebook account of it.

Speaker 14 (01:37:01):
And now, what were you trying to hit a certain
number that you were keeping, you know, such close track.

Speaker 25 (01:37:08):
No, I just knew that none of the people I
was with were gonna last for long, so I figured
we would enjoy ourselves. And actually, within the last two years,
I actually found the person I'm gonna be settling down with.

Speaker 8 (01:37:23):
Oh wow, does he know about your Facebook page?

Speaker 27 (01:37:28):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (01:37:30):

Wow, good for you. I'm telling you right now. If you, uh,
let's say you work at let's say you work at

take inventory.

Speaker 2 (01:39:05):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:39:06):
You got one name on there, so you don't have
so you don't have this conversation with yourself like.

Speaker 11 (01:39:12):
Well, no, I don't have it with myself. But like
my friends and even my wife has got the conversation
with me before, like she's kind of been like she's
waiting for like this dark past to come up and
have like these as girlfriends that I don't know that
I've had relationships before in the past, and I'm like, no,
I've never been with anybody till you. And I mean
I'm thirty one now.

Speaker 3 (01:39:29):
Wow.

So it's kind of just like, you know, we have

Speaker 8 (01:42:33):
Ha ha laugh funny Elvis Duran in the Morning show.

Speaker 4 (01:42:42):
This is Elvis Duran in the Morning Show see one hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:42:47):
We were talking about this yesterday, Gandhi, just the two
of us talking about that documentary called Tickled. Yeah, it
came out like it came out like eight years ago.
It's been around that long. But there's this new fascination
for this documentary and the sport of it's tickling, basically,
isn't it.

Speaker 8 (01:43:04):
I had never heard of it.

Speaker 6 (01:43:05):
Yeah, competitive tickling, competitive competitive Danielle.

Speaker 3 (01:43:10):
Yeah, And they're saying that this documentary, even though it's
eight years old and I've never seen it, I'm going
to see it. They're saying that they really get into
the nitty gritty of competitive tickling, and the people that
are featured, the competitive competitive ticklers are all from outer space.
I mean they're not literally, but maybe they're all really weird.
Have you seen this documentary yet.

Speaker 14 (01:43:31):
I haven't seen it.

Speaker 8 (01:43:32):
I really want to.

Speaker 6 (01:43:32):
I saw the trailer for it, and it looks insane.
If you even just pull up any videos of competitive tickling, it's.

Speaker 8 (01:43:38):
Very suspicious looking.

Speaker 6 (01:43:39):
But they said that there's this whole dark world that
we don't know about that goes with the competitive tickling
game where there's like murder and scandal and mystery and
fighting and all kinds of stuff and I just can't wait.

Speaker 3 (01:43:52):
Oh wow, No, no, I can't wait to see it.
Even though Rotten Tomatoes gives it ninety four percent, so
that's good. Hey, I'm in, but competitive tickling. So it
got me to thinking, like, how do you train for
something like this? Well, you know, we've been training on
our lives, you know, tickling people here, tickling people there.
But I mean there are rules, I mean apparently there's there.

Speaker 18 (01:44:10):
You can be.

Speaker 3 (01:44:13):
There's points. I don't know you get points by tickling people.

Speaker 14 (01:44:16):
Do you get points for not laughing or something? If
you're being tickled?

Speaker 10 (01:44:19):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:44:20):
Is that it?

Speaker 6 (01:44:21):
Yeah, you get points for It's called like endurance. So
the longer you can hold out apparently the better it is.
And they strap you down to things so you can't move,
and you know like kick people and twitch.

Speaker 3 (01:44:31):
No thanks, And they're wearing these colorful outfits. They look
like it looks like like it looks like tinky winkies
one color and it is creepy look and it's and
the video I saw I saw a short trader from
from a tickled it was very homo erotic. Yes, what
I saw. What I saw. They were these little tight
jumpers and they sit around and tickle each other.

Speaker 9 (01:44:51):
Yes, I don't know why it's so funny to me.

Speaker 3 (01:44:55):
Okay, let's say we're in a tickle match. I mean,
do I go? You go for under the arms right,
like like you like drive your fingers in there?

Speaker 11 (01:45:02):
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (01:45:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:45:03):
So they have different ways that you can do it too,
And I guess there are like tears. So they start
with a feather, something very light and you know, not
all that bad, and they'll tickle your feet and your armpits,
behind the knees and things, and then they gradually move
up and then they're at the fingers, just digging into you.

Speaker 14 (01:45:17):
Oh my gosh. And apparently there was a lot of
controversy around this film. Yes, somebody actually sued that was
in there. That's the filmmakers because I don't know something
about their endurance tickling video.

Speaker 22 (01:45:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:45:34):
I stopped there reading the they weren't tickled with the film. Yes, scary.
What question?

Speaker 21 (01:45:44):
Why is it that when you self tickle you don't
you don't laugh or you don't feel ticklish? And in
the very same spots that if somebody else were to
tickle you, you you could be in some craziness, you.

Speaker 3 (01:45:57):
Know, and I could. Gandy was talking about two types
of tickling, the light tickling, and see I can light
tickle myself, right, I tickle myself and then it's so
tickling I have to like scratch it real quick because
it was too tickling. But but as far as like
cramming your fingers into your sides and really, and I
don't think we can do that. Can I imagine going
on a date and somebody goes So, are you into
light tickling?

Speaker 8 (01:46:19):
There are people who do it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:21):
But of course the reason that you can't tickle yourself
is because your brain knows it's coming, so it prepares,
It knows it's you, it knows what you're doing. But
when somebody else does it, your brain doesn't know where
it's coming from or what to expect.

Speaker 8 (01:46:33):
So then you're more ticklish.

Speaker 14 (01:46:34):
That makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:46:35):
Yeah, I'm gonna get into this tickling thing. This could
be my next thing, This could be this, This is
my my path is taking me down to the tickling avenue.
Are you ticklish a little bit?

Speaker 10 (01:46:47):
But not?

Speaker 22 (01:46:48):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
I have some friends. If you just even walk past them,
they're like, really, call down, Mary.

Speaker 6 (01:46:53):
My boyfriend is the most ticklish person I've ever met
in my life. It makes me laugh so hard. He
cannot take anything.

Speaker 8 (01:47:00):
He gets on as sage. You just hear him giggling
the entire time.

Speaker 3 (01:47:03):
That's not relaxing, U, Nate, tickle. Let's have a tickle
session out and if you touch the bottom of my feet,
I will punch you in the face. I am good.
Did you know there are tickle fight rules?

Speaker 12 (01:47:19):
Really?

Speaker 3 (01:47:21):
Well? Hold on, May I say something to Nate? I
don't want to get near your stinky feet, so I
don't worry saying.

Speaker 26 (01:47:26):
Like the bottom of my feet for whatever reason in
my in my makeup, I cannot have anybody go near
them so ticklish.

Speaker 3 (01:47:34):
I'll remember that. I remember that when we're having and
we tie you down and have a tickle fond. Okay,
what are the rules of tickling frog?

Speaker 7 (01:47:42):
It says if they repeatedly asked you to stop or
can't catch their breath, you're supposed to quit tickling them.
Should never sit on anyone to tickle them or restrain
them in any way.

Speaker 3 (01:47:54):
Well wait, but in this film they tie them down
and they're sitting on them.

Speaker 7 (01:47:57):
I guess what that's against these rules here, and it's
tickle fights should be fun for both people. If the
other person looks like they're unhappy, you should call a
tickle truce.

Speaker 14 (01:48:07):
But that's tickle fights. That's not competitive, tor.

Speaker 3 (01:48:10):
Yeah, this is stuff you just do with your cousin,
put down in the rumpus room or whatever it is.

Speaker 6 (01:48:15):
Because when someone's laughing so hard, how can you tell
if they're uncomfortable or not.

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
They're just grinling.

Speaker 8 (01:48:20):
It looks like a good time.

Speaker 3 (01:48:21):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna watch this film Tickled.

Speaker 8 (01:48:24):
Can't wait.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
I know, I know eight years later. Just now get
into it. I will.

Speaker 2 (01:48:32):

Speaker 25 (01:48:50):
Kandhi?

Speaker 8 (01:48:51):
Oh, but I believe it.

Speaker 3 (01:48:52):
Yeah, if you're listening to your favorite music, it might
be beneficial. It might be beneficial to your health after all,
And I would think, why are we just now learning
this because we've known for a fact that people who
live happier lives live longer and are healthier. And even
the best of medical doctors will tell you it goes
beyond medicine. It has to do with your outlook on life,

(01:49:15):
your positivity, the people you surround yourself with, and then
you know, exercising and eating well from time to time
and not smoking a cigarettes. There's a whole list, right, yeah,
and then none of the all of that can be
achieved without going to a doctor's office. But listening to
your favorite music, it's surely it's the same as being happy, right,
I mean the pheromones or whatever. I don't know, I

(01:49:37):
totally agree.

Speaker 6 (01:49:38):
I mean, I know this sounds very silly, but they
say that even if you're in a bad mood and
you start singing your favorite songs, that that's supposed to
help you get better, not just because one it's your
favorite song and you like to hear it, it elicits
good emotion, but because of the airflow while you're breathing
and singing, it's supposed to be very good for you.

Speaker 3 (01:49:54):
Well, there is that See we were talking about that
special that sound, and I think it's Netflix. I don't know.
It's called one hundred years Blue Zones, people that live
in these blue zones around the world who are living
on average, much older lives than the rest of us.
And he went to this one village somewhere look at me.
All the details were missing, and I think it was

(01:50:16):
in Greece actually, And these people in this village and
the friends and the families, they get together almost every
night or every other night, and they party and they dance,
and they have a little wine and they laugh, and
they live much longer lives than the rest of us.
He's like, they don't exercise, but he was showing them
dancing around the campfire. They were exercised and they're getting there. Yeah,

(01:50:38):
they're getting their cardio through dancing. And you know, I
just when you say, hey, if you sing your favorite song,
it also includes you know, airflow and oxygen going to
your brain because you're breathing and singing. It all makes sense.
Doing the things that make you happy at the moment
are doing much more to your body in a positive
way than you'll ever ever realize. Right, they say here,

(01:51:03):
you know how if you go to the doctor and
you're feeling pain, he'll say, Okay, the pain you have
in your arm, the scale of zero to ten, where
is it? And you give him a number. So that's
I'm assuming how they did it. Scientists found that pain
was not just reduced, but strongly reduced among participants if
they were listening to some of their favorite music. They're saying,
it was a very noticeable, noticeable difference.

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:51:29):
My mother, who was living with an awful, awful, awful
life of dementia. Near the end of her days, of course,
she just couldn't remember anything, and every once in a
while she would become a little lucid than not. We
would play music from her from her earlier years. You
put on some Tony Bennett, she would light up and

(01:51:50):
she would sing all the words. And it really shows
you how music leaves a deep footprint in your heart
and in your brain because of the emotions you felt
when you first he heard that song that you love
I mean bad example Rio by Duran Duran example. I
know it is for you. It is because for some reason,
and you can't even explain why, when you hear that
song it makes you happy, and you don't have to explain, No,

(01:52:12):
it just makes me happy.

Speaker 14 (01:52:14):
It's like a feeling of freedom song, like you know
you can dance around on a beach and have a
good time. That's how I feel.

Speaker 3 (01:52:21):
So we could do a show where we don't play
any music at all, but you know, for several reasons
we do now I know another reason for your health. Yes,
and so we have time to go pee. Yeah right,
and then we can do all the off color jokes
that HR would have us fired over while the song's playing.
We're saving you from that. Music is helping us maintain

(01:52:42):
a career as well.

Speaker 15 (01:52:43):
Music.

Speaker 3 (01:52:43):
We love music, love you music. So there you have it.
I was also reading today about birthdays. We've known this,
especially during pandemic. They're saying that blowing out candles on
a cake is just the most disgusting thing you can do.
It's more disgusting than we thought, really, the amounts of

(01:53:05):
bacteria flying onto your birthday cake. Not only does the
cake get a spray of froggy saliva, but the cakes
already iced with a layer of bacteria. And they how
do you do it any other way? What You take
a piece?

Speaker 14 (01:53:20):
Yeah, you wave?

Speaker 7 (01:53:22):
Or you can also well you can cut a piece
off and put it on a plate and just put
a handle on that.

Speaker 3 (01:53:30):
They're not saying. They're saying it's not terribly high risk
in most cases, but it does. It will spread diseases.
If someone in your birthday group has a disease.

Speaker 14 (01:53:40):
And you don't even know if someone's getting ready to
come down with something like you could be fine today,
tomorrow you could be sick.

Speaker 3 (01:53:46):
You know exactly, they already have it. So there you go.
Music is keeping us alive longer, and birthday cakes are
killing us. I thought I would just give.

Speaker 28 (01:53:54):
You the.

Speaker 4 (01:53:57):
