Speaker 12 (06:24):
Thank you, y'all have a good weekend.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Okay, don't hang up, hold on one second. See there's someone
out there that actually wants to advertise our show without compensation.
That's very unusual. It's crazy capitalistic day. Let's get into
the three things we need to know from Gandhi. What
do you think. What do you think in Gandhi?

Speaker 6 (06:40):
Well, I was wondering if she's going to advertise our
show because we put her on the air. Is that
Pala Plugola who just violated with a sweatshirt?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, there's some something illegal going on there. I gotta
I gotta send that to legal. We'll find out what
the definition is. Give me a moment, Okay, now we'll
send it out. Let's break the law. Let's break the law.

Speaker 13 (07:03):
All right?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
What's going on? Three set?

Speaker 8 (07:04):
All right?

Speaker 6 (07:05):
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is beginning the process
of laying off hundreds of employees. The massed job cuts
of probationary workers reportedly began yesterday and will effect between
six hundred and eighteen hundred people. Staffers from Elon Musk's
Department of Government Efficiency entered the offices a few weeks
prior to those layoffs. Plans to dismantle the agency were
previously denied, so we'll see how that goes. Controversial social

(07:28):
media influencer Andrew Tait and his brother Tristan are back
in the US after being held in Romania for two
years in connection to rape and human trafficking charges. The
brothers have maintained their innocence as the Trump administration has
reportedly been pushing for travel restrictions on them to be lifted.
They landed yesterday in Fort Lauderdale, prompting Florida's Governor Ron
De Santis to declare that they are not welcome in

(07:50):
his state. And finally, Travis Kelcey says yes, he is
returning to play for the Kansas City Chiefs next season.
That means more Taylor Swift, everybody, yeesh.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Hey.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
He confirmed to ESPN McAfee that he won't be retiring
this year. Weeks after losing Super Bowl fifty nine to
the Philadelphia Eagles. He reportedly told McAfee quote, I can't
go out like that. End quote. He's thirty five years old,
and following the loss, there was speculation about whether or
not he'd return. He has won three Super Bowls, but
he says he wants another ring. And those are your

(08:22):
three things?

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Thank you? You guys, Ready for your Friday? Yeah, let's go.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
Hey, it's Nicki Minato, this is Rihanna.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Hey, this is Lady Gaga.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
You're listening to the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Never forget Join the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, on its
mission to do good in honor of America's heroes, donate
eleven dollars a month at T two t dot org.
That's t the number two T dot org. I love it.

Speaker 7 (08:57):
I love Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
You know, I can always tell when either Gandhi or
Danielle had a big event last night. Oh how so, well, well,
yesterday you came in Gandhi still wearing the makeup from
the night before, and you look great.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yes, I did, thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Danielle's skin looks like she scrubbed the makeup off, Yes
she did, but her skin, but her skin looks like
it's glowing. I can always tell because he scrubbed it.
So what did you do last night? Tell her what
you did?

Speaker 8 (09:27):
So our friends at the National Down Syndrome Society had
their gala that they have every year where they raise
a lot of money for the organization. You know, they
have the live auction and then the silent auction and
all kinds of stuff. And it was at Chipriani, uh,
the one in South Street.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
So I was nice one.

Speaker 10 (09:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
So I was down there with Chris Raggy from CBS.
We were co hosting together. What a wonderful guy. He's
such a sweetheart. He's been doing this for like sixteen years.
And we just met the most wonderful people. Three doors
down was your performer last night. They performed, They were incredible,
and it was just such a great event meeting these
wonderful people. I've always told you that the Down syndrome community,

(10:07):
even though I'm very new to them, they're just the
most welcoming, wonderful individuals. And the thing is, my sister
was supposed to come, but her whole family has the
stomach bug right now.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Oh god, we don't want them, that's right.

Speaker 8 (10:19):
So you know my nephew, my nephew, Lucas, has Down syndrome.
So I was sitting at a table with all of
her friends and I didn't really know them. Oh my gosh,
the nicest people ever. Had the best time with them.
Food was great, drinks were great. Raised a lot of
money for the charity, so it was awesome.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, it was a black tie event. In mind, I
get nervous if someone invites me to an event, I'm like, okay,
I'll go there and they say it's black tie. Scratch
my oh god.

Speaker 8 (10:45):
And I had on a long gown and I I'm
so short, Gandhi knows it's sometimes it's for me. I'm uncomfortable.
I'm like lifting it up. Even though I had it him,
it wasn't him high enough. I'm still lifting it up
to walk up.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Will send me thank you photos, Thank you, thank you.
A great text came in a few minutes from one
of our listeners, Fabio, and we got him on the phone.

I have a passenger because she laughs and and and
he brings that energy. But it scared the some some passengers.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
So I got good news. Our friend Guy Fietti is
coming back for the second time this week. You know, yeah,
he's got more chicken. It isn't like we didn't have
any chicken the other day. I mean, we had lots
of chicken. It was a feast. But you know, he
opened up a Chicken Guy in Times Square and he's

(15:38):
bringing more chicken. We're going to talk to him again.
We have lots to talk to him about because we
really didn't get to get into the meat or the
chicken of the topics. So my friend Brian is coming
to town and I said, let's go to Chicken Guy together.
He said, well, if we're going to go to Chicken Town,
we have to dress like Guy Fietti.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
So we've been shopping on hot topic. We found two
of those jackets that they are like flames coming up
the front, you know, the flame jackets. Oh perfect, So
we're gonna go addressed in matching flame jackets to go see.
Maybe that's a bad idea, never mind.

Speaker 6 (16:12):
It's a great idea.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I can't believe Hot Topic is still around. Did you
guys ever shop there when you were kids?

Speaker 6 (16:17):
I still shot there now, I was gothic. I lived there.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
They have what they have.

Speaker 8 (16:24):
Really cool, like things you can't get anywhere else.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
It's like, awesome, Well they have vintage Hot Topic. I
don't even know if I have to go to eBay
and buy some of this stuff. They really are of
the moment, But a lot of these moments have passed,
like flames going up your shirt and things like that.
I went, I went down. I fell down the rabbit
hole last night. Just going through Hot Topic vintage clothing.

(16:49):
It's wild the different the different moments of style that
we've lived through, and it's somewhat embarrassing a little bit.
We used to have a war called Judy's when I
was growing up. It was in malls and they had
everything of the eighties. It was all turquoise and black
and pink everything. All all the shirts, especially for women,

(17:12):
had the big, huge shoulder pads. I like Zekes. Do
you guys remember gad zups.

Speaker 14 (17:17):
Yeah, the same thing, kind of like the cheaper poor
man's version of hot topic.

Speaker 10 (17:23):
What about Merry Go Round?

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Merry Go Round in it too? If you needed parachute pants, man,
you went to Merry Go Round.

Speaker 8 (17:30):
Spencer Gibbs is still there?

Speaker 6 (17:31):
Are still there?

Speaker 8 (17:31):
Do you know that topic has the best nightmare before Christmas?
Like Jack Skellington apparel and lunch bags and shoes and sauce.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
And then back in the back sex toys.

Speaker 8 (17:42):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Oh yeah, that's only about Spencer. Spencer's gifts. They all
they had like funny posters for your wall for your
very favorite rock band. They had stupid ear rings, and
they had like crocheted sweaters for your penis. They had everything,
and lava lamps. I remember I had this lava lamp.
I was so proud of it. It was in my

(18:03):
bedroom and my friend Travis came over. He said, wells
and you can. He picked up and shook it and
it blasted all the oil everywhere all it never was
the same. That's why I never spoke to Travis every again. Hey,
we have a special guest, as I said, Guy Fieri,
let's get into that in a couple hours to hang out.
It's gonna be a big jame.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Hey, it's Gandhi and you might have heard of my podcast,
Sauce on the Side. If not, come explore the parts
of my brain that we don't talk about on the
big show, everything from science to love to the not
so safe for work topics that make us laugh. Join
me every Wednesday for a new episode of Sauce on
the Side on America's number one podcast network, iHeart or
wherever you get your podcasts, And while you're there, make

(18:43):
sure you like, follow and subscribe.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
Elvis Duran and the Morning Show. Elvis Duran.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
In the Morning Show, you were talking about hot topic
and all those stories a minute ago, and then we
started talking about mals. You know, it's kind of funny
how you can go into TikTok you can go on
a tour of the empty malls of America. I mean,
it's kind of spooky looking, right, but also there's a
few malls that are still doing very very well. I
love a good mall. I don't know about you. Anyone

(19:12):
in favor of malls.

Speaker 6 (19:13):
Absolutely, I feel like they're kind of making a comeback now.
All of the like. It seems teenagers are trying to
hang out at them again. Yeah, and they're getting new
stores and new restaurants coming back in the foot.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
A man's sister, I love it. You know when Panda
gives me some free bourbon chicken. Why you know Auntie
Ann's is over here. I sent the man over here.
I'm busy. I don't have time to shop. But anyway, so, uh,
maybe that's our morning show goal for this weekend. I
want everyone to go visit a mall. Actually, it's better

(19:48):
to go like after we get off the your Monday
morning at ten, no one's there. No one's there except
for the Zekavarricci mallwalker walkers still wearing their jeans from
nineteen eighty two.

Speaker 8 (19:58):
That would be my mom, she's walking the I love
that mallwalkers.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
I do mall does mall management like mallwalker's. I mean,
do they encourage it? Is it a good thing for them?

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I hope they opened early for them, because the stores
usually don't open that, but the mall itself, the indoor
part opens and they walk around. Yeah, Nate, are you
a mallwalker?

Speaker 14 (20:18):
Okay, so I did this once my first radio show
they sent me out and they dressed me up as
an old lady and I was a mallwalker and I
almost got arrested because I went into the women's bathroom.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Oh well, okay, well you deserved to be arrested.

Speaker 15 (20:31):
Yeah, correct, Well it was one of those. It was
like the Greg t stunts like, oh hey, why don't
you go to the ladies bathroom? Like I have an
idea next week. I want you to go to Short
Hills Mall and Livingston, New Jersey. Dresses a woman and
go into the lady's room. That'll over who's in favor
in the room. Anyone in favor that you are out
voted Nate.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, he's about to get walloped by some handbags. They
can't wait.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
That was not fun. Anyway, get to the ball this weekend.
People come on and go beyond the anchor stores. Get
out to those smaller stores.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
Oh yeah, sometimes you get like a little pop up
shop of something cool. You know what's popping up a
lot now, these Asian stores that have the really cool
like plush toys and food and stuff from Oh my gosh,
they're all over the place and I want everything when
I walk inside, like even like hello, kiddies in these
stores again, remember saying.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
It, Oh, give me a bag of chocolate Pocky.

Speaker 8 (21:26):
Yes, I love Pocky.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
All right, let's get into your report, Daniels, since you're here. Okay,
let's go.

Speaker 8 (21:32):
All right, So we'll start out with the family of
Michelle Trachtenberg declining for religious reasons and autopsy that is commonly,
you know, the procedure that they do if it's an
unexplained death. But her family has decided against it. So
the Gene Hackman story keeps getting stranger and stranger. So
yesterday we were talking about how Gene Hackman and his

(21:53):
wife and their dog their bodies were found in the house.
Right so at first they were like, well, it doesn't
look like foul play. People were thinking maybe it was
carbon monoxide poisoning. Well, new details have come forward. A
Santa Fe detective told TMZ that his wife, Betsy was
found lying on her right side in the bathroom with
a black space heater near her head. So police are
thinking that the heater may have fallen off the counter,

(22:16):
possibly when she fell. If she fell, then there was
an open prescription bottle on the countertop that were pills
scattered around it. Her body was decomposed and showing signs
of mummification. Now friends are saying they hadn't seen them
in like two weeks or like you know, authorities from
the town. I don't know. Gene Hackman was actually found

(22:37):
in the mudroom off the kitchen. Police are also thinking
he could have fallen suddenly because his glasses were like
thrown off of his body fully closed, a similar condition
to his wife's body with the mummification. The dog, a
German shepherd, was found in the closet near the bathroom,
but the other two dogs were alive and healthy. So
it just like I said, it's getting stranger and stranger,

(23:01):
and they're investigating to try to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
You know what, there's a great thing to learn here
if you I don't know what the relationship is like
with you and your parents, but they shouldn't be going
more than a few days with hearing from someone you know, yeah,
or you know or neighbors. You know, if you have
a friend who I don't any friend, doesn't matter how

(23:23):
old or young they are, you know, it's it's important
for all of us to keep up with each other.
It's two weeks they said they were there two weeks.

Speaker 8 (23:31):
They said. People hadn't seen them out and about for
about two weeks, so it could have been And I mean,
how long does it take for a body to start
the mummification.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Process, Well, it dries out, you know, I don't know,
so yeah, but I mean just a couple of days
could make a difference, you know, I don't know. You know,
when Uncle Johnny was alive, God restless soul, he had friends,
older gay men who were not in relationships in their eighties.
They just they wouldn't hear from him for a week
or two. Then they would find them on the bathroom floor.
Finally when someone would finally go try to see how

(24:00):
they're doing.

Speaker 8 (24:01):
So scat all right, check on people, please. So Barbie
is continuing to celebrate the world of music with the
twenty twenty five Career of the Year Woman in Music collection,
and next up will be Alicia Keys. She's getting her
own Barbie and then they're also dropping a duo set.
It will feature a tour manager Barbie. So these are
limited edition. You can't just go to the store and

(24:22):
buy them. You have to bid for them. They're up
for auction until March second, and proceeds from the auction
will go towards She Is the Music, which is a
nonprofit organization increasing the number of women working in music.
So we know that we're getting a little Office follow
up like spinoff type thing on the way. Oscar Nunez,
who played Oscar in the show, will be back for it.

(24:44):
So the new one is about a struggling Midwestern newspaper
where the same film crew from the Office is making
a new documentary. We don't know the title yet, but
we'll see. But we don't know where Oscar fits in now.
When we last saw Oscar at the end of the
original Office, he was running for Pennsylvania State Senate while
still working at dunder Mifflin. So did he make it,

(25:06):
did he get elected? Who knows? I guess we'll see,
but it's pretty cool to see. Hopefully a lot more
people from the original will come back to do this.
Justin Timberlake had to cancel on Columbus, Ohio again. So
last time he did this it was bronchitis and laryngitis.
This time he said he had the flu. They were
getting ready to go on. He said that he was

(25:26):
doing the sound check with the flu and he just
could not do it, so he's giving back the money
to everybody, and Froggy helped me with this one. Jelly
Roll did something really really cool. He returned to his
alma mater in Tennessee and it was for a very
very special visit.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah. So Antioch High School where he went, unfortunately, had
a tragic school shooting there took the lives of the
shooter and another student. So jelly Roll went back. There
was no video, they didn't take any video in the school.
They didn't release, but he spoke to both the faculty
and the students. He took time to discuss the tragedy
with everyone and then lightened the mood, took selfies, hung
out with him, and the district released a statement after

(26:02):
just saying thanking jelly Roll for reaching out and showing
support during a time when they really needed it. He's
such a really good Greely's.

Speaker 8 (26:11):
Great and people are wondering what's going on with Justin
Bieber posting another video uh to fuel the drug rumors
this time. I don't know if you saw it yesterday,
but he's smoking something directly into the camera and blowing
smoke and so everybody's like, you know, putting their comments
up wondering what is going on there? So what are
we watching? If you watched the reboot of the Disney's

(26:32):
of the Wizards of Waverley Place over on Disney, you
will see Selena Gomez on there tonight, so that will
be pretty cool. You've got to count down to the
Oscars because you know that is going down on Sunday,
The Lord of the Rings, the War of the Thank
You that is on that tonight. I knew that, you know,
I knew I could look to Nate for that. Also,

(26:53):
Tate McCrae, remember your musical guest on SNL this weekend?

you see, okay? Anyone, Yes, Daniel's not paying attention. That's
who wrote It's.

Elvista ran in the morning show, just.

Speaker 16 (40:12):
Like elvist Wan in the morning show.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
You know why we're just having this weird conversation. Oh,
Danielle was saying, God, you know what, let's let's get breakfast.
But who's paying. I'll venmo you. So Danielle asked, what
did we do before Venmo and goandh He said, tell
them what you.

Speaker 6 (40:31):
Said, carry cash, carry cash?

Speaker 1 (40:35):
That is that is what we did.

Speaker 8 (40:37):
What we did.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
It's like, isn't it funny how we have to remember,
like it was that long ago we carried cash.

Speaker 8 (40:44):
I don't know, when you whip cash out, people look
at you like you're like an alien.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Yeah, it's like like a check, you have to endorse it,
and then scary goes, what did we do before we drove?
I don't remember time.

Speaker 18 (41:00):
Before uber or no, it's just crazy because it seems
so long ago. Or it just sucks because we grew
up without a phone. Without a phone, how did you
if you have to make a call, we never had
phones in there.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
You go to a payphone, or you had all you
had a beeper? Yes you did what Nate?

Speaker 14 (41:16):
There's another one like what did the Mets win last night?
Like that was a thing you didn't know. You didn't
know if your team won.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
It's so you don't have to go to your phone
now figure out Actually you actually had to listen to
a news station or call a friend to find out
who won the game last night, or just or watch
the news and wait for the news segment at twenty
past the hour to come on. You know. I was like,
oh my god, but my favorite what we did before Venmo?
We carried cash? Oh that's right. It made me feel

(41:44):
so stupid I did. I forgot.

Speaker 18 (41:46):
Don't get me started with printing out map quest maps
to try.

Speaker 8 (41:49):
To remember taking them out in the car, and they
were so big.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
You were on phoned and then.

Speaker 16 (41:56):
And you can't see where you're going, Like like I
always talking about what's what was the actor who was
always like looking for fugitives.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
I don't know, Tommy Lee Jones. You know, all right,
we're gonna so he would get his map out. He
would spread it out over the front of the Ford
L T. D. And you're gonna go that way. You're
gonna go that way. And now they hand you a phone.
It's on your phone. Crazy, That's it. When we go
on a trip, we have to have a map on
the hood of the car.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
And when that even now, when the map or the
Google Directions will say go southwest, I'm like, what do west?
Thank God from the little flashlight thing that shows you
which way you need to turn.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Crazy, It's like, what did we do before we had
Triple A? Well, you changed your own tire the terror
Remember that time we had a tire changing contest between
Scary and daniel and she beat him. Yeah, hand we could.
I bet we could do it again today and she
would still win. Scary would call Triple A Danielle, she

(43:00):
would fix the tire and she'd crash her car.

Speaker 8 (43:04):
Hey, oh my, did do that? Murmur. You guys tried
to teach me stick shift, and I got in the
car and I drove it up the curb into the pole,
and it was a listener who had lent us his car.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
No, still in litigation.

Speaker 8 (43:20):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
You know, if you're rolling through Wendy's today, the Son
of Baconator is my suggestion. The reason why I'm bringing
up the Sun of Baconator Wendy. It's like three dollars
for a limited time. As you know, Wendy's is a
partner of ours, and of course they want me to
share the info. They're serving up this deal. It's bacon,
never frozen beef, apple would smoked bacon. Is That's what

(43:42):
the bacon is It melty cheese. I love how they
can't say cheese. It's melty cheese. It's not bacon. It's
apple wood smoked bacon. And it's for three dollars. The
son of a Baconator, the Son of Baconator rather is
available for a limited time, So pick one up. I mean,
come on, it's bacon. And the reason why I thought
of talking about that for our friends at Wendy's because

(44:03):
Daniel just ordered bacon.

Speaker 8 (44:04):
I did I did? I wanted a bacon pancakes.

Speaker 14 (44:06):
I did not.

Speaker 8 (44:07):
We got egg and egg sandwich. I really wanted crispy bacon.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
All right, you're getting it. Who is it? I know?
You know Mikey, our friend Mikey Russo. He insists his
bacon is limp and like almost not totally fully cooked.
I like mine to be a little bendy. I don't
like it. Do you like bendy bacon? I like Bendy bacon.
I can't have it. Is he your favorite dancer? Yeah?

Speaker 14 (44:37):
No, I I really like it. Just a hair limp,
hair lip, no hair limb hair oh, hairlip, hair limp.
I like it crispy, like I wily.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
I don't like it. When I pick it up, it
just kind of crumbles in my hand. Absolutely. That's why
I always do my bacon in the oven. I crisp
that crap right up. Oh, this has been the weirdest conversation.
But don't forget. For a limited time only Wendy's the
son of Bacon eight only three dollars. How you like that?
We get Guy Fieri in about an hour or so.
The chicken has arrived. They're battering it now in that

(45:07):
brine of buttermilk and pickle juice, and we're gonna fry
it up and have more Guy Fieri chicken from a
Guy's Chicken coming up in a few minutes. We have
one thousand dollars Atlantis free money phone tap coming up,

That's coming up next, but right now, three things from Gandhi.
What's up all right?

Speaker 6 (45:23):
The long awaited Jeffrey Epsteine documents released by the DOJ
Thursday provided little new information. About two hundred pages in
that document dump contained flight logs and contact lists that
include hundreds of associates, most already made public. US Attorney
General Pam Bondi said in a letter to FBI Director
Cash Mattel Thursday that she had received only two hundred
pages of those documents. She's demanding the full and complete

(45:46):
Epstein files delivered to her office by eight am Eastern today,
so just about a half an hour. Some companies are
bracing and some aren't phased at all by consumers and
activists calling foreign economic blackout today. The idea is to
not money for twenty four hours, a protest against corporate
greed and companies that have pulled back on supporting on
supporting diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. There are also calls

(46:08):
for additional boycotts of big box companies. And finally, the
planets are set to align tonight in a rare celestial
event just after dusk. Mercury will join Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus,
and Saturn in the western sky. Saturn and Neptune will
be the hardest to see because they'll be close to
the horizon.

Speaker 8 (46:27):
She said, Uranus and hardest in the same sense.

Speaker 6 (46:29):
I'm not even I'm not even done yet, Danielle Binoculars
or a telescope will be needed to see Uranus and Neptune.
And those are her three things.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
I love that gott He just she mowed right through it. Man,
she knew she knew someone in the stupid rum.

Speaker 8 (46:44):

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Okay, you know, I got to tell you that. You know,
if you'd ask me nice, maybe I would do it.

Speaker 8 (49:44):
Why would you at seven thirty in the morning beep
a big call like that?

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Well, because I'm beeping at my kids. I'm saying goodbye
to them.

Speaker 8 (49:51):
Okay, can you do it in the house before you leave?

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Like I tell you, Normally, I would have no problem
with what you're asking me, because it's I didn't realize
I was doing that.

Speaker 8 (49:59):
Okay, but so what's the time.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
I really don't like you coming off like a big shot.
I don't give it thinking either.

place is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (50:08):

someone has a hummer and making up for other things

and prove something, but I'm the loser.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
In the morning show?

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Yeah, not home and just flip around channels and I
couldn't really land on anything I wanted to commit to.
So you know, Nate, you know what I did. I
always go back to The Crown. That's always there. I've
seen the opening episode of The Crown fifty million times
because I just love it so much. I'm gonna go
see that movie, Bugsy. I'll tell you why not go,
but I'll pull it up on streaming. Soone just sent

(56:25):
a text in saying, today is Bugsy Seagull's birthday. Gandhi,
do you know who that was?

Speaker 6 (56:30):
Yes, he was a gangster.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
He was a gangster. But what's he famous for? No idea.
He's the one who, uh moved to the middle of
the desert in Nevada and basically started Las Vegas.

Speaker 6 (56:43):
Oh, I had no idea.

Speaker 8 (56:44):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
I mean Las Vegas was there, but he was the
one that started the first. He built the very first.
It was the Sands Hotel. I can't remember. He built
the first, like Las Vegas Hotel with gambling, and of
course you know the mob ended up killing him. But anyway,
so if you see Bugsy Siegel, you know, wish him
happy birthday. I don't know where am I going to
go with that? Yes, what's up?

Speaker 6 (57:08):
You know we're talking about TV shows and I think
you guys might hate me for this. I cannot get
through succession. I just quit. I called my sister, so
just tell me what happens. I can't take this.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
You're not alone. There's a lot of people that really
don't get into the It's there's a rhythm to that
show that a lot of people are just like disturbed
by I get it.

Speaker 6 (57:27):
I feel like the same episode on repeat. They have
an alliance this day, there's a different alliance the next day.
Back to the same alliance the next day, just over
and over the chaos.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
I think that might be.

Speaker 14 (57:37):
I watched it every week from week to week, trying
to binge that show would be exhausting.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Yeah, you would be.

Speaker 6 (57:43):
I thought about throwing my TV out the window.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
Okay, I'll warn the pedestrians below. Yeah, succession is it is.
It can grade on you. But you know, if you're
into it, it's kind of I was into it the
first two seasons. Last season, okay, because each season is
like a different show. We were doing some sound here.
You want to get some sound Danielle's report. Oh, daniel Danielle,

(58:06):
she makes a lot of sound. We'll do that. Hey. Oh,
by the way, it was the Flamingo Hotel. Thank you
texture the Flamingo Hotel that Bugsy Seagull started.

Speaker 8 (58:15):
It was crazy because you remember there was like nothing.
It was like totally dirt and like you know, the yeah,
and then all of a sudden, this one hotel pops
up out of nowhere. It's crazy, crazy.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
There you go, and now look at it yep. All right,
Danielle report and then sound with Garrett Europe.

Speaker 6 (58:32):
First, all right, well we know.

Speaker 8 (58:33):
The Oscars are going down this coming Sunday, and Gandhi
just found out what is in the Oscar gift bags.
Now you all know, Oh boy, they give them a
lot six figures. The Oscar gift bags are worth high
end beauty treatments, trips, plastic surgery offers apparently celebrity arms
and liposuction and legs. Liposuction value to like twenty thousand dollars.

(58:56):
It's crazy. There's some slimming effect thing this three hundred
and sixty degree. I don't know what the hell it is,
but he asked my question. They all have their own
plastic surgeons. So if I get a gift certificate in
my gift bag for clastic surgeon, you're probably not going
to use it, right.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
Well, that's the thing. That's the thing about the gift bags,
And this has been known for years, the gift bags
at the Oscars and the Grammys, this and that. Most
of this stuff is never used ever. So they say
it's a half billion dollar thing, but no one uses it.

Speaker 6 (59:22):
Can you regift it and you.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Can't transfer it?

Speaker 8 (59:25):
But I wonder, so would it freakd somebody out if
they gave me, like a twenty thousand dollars something and
I actually used it and they didn't expect it.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
But they'd be like, oh, they'd hang up the phone.
I'm sorry. Connection. Some of the stuff is tangible and
you can have it, but the expensive experiences, most people
do not use them.

Speaker 8 (59:46):
Yeah, they don't. First of all, they don't need them,
so you know, well.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
They don't need them, and I think it's kind of
considered tacky to use them.

Speaker 8 (59:52):
Oh is it really?

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (59:53):
The hell do you give? What's the point then?

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Because those people get they get ads, they get promotion,
all right.

Speaker 8 (01:00:00):
So Katy Perry and Gail King will join Blue Origin's
first all female crew on a spaceflight this coming spring.
Lauren Sanchez will be there among other people, and Katy
Perry is very excited. She said that she's going to

(01:01:05):
back on track. We all a fortunate Jeopardy are finally
making their way to streaming Sony Pictures finally, yeah, but
we don't know where yet. Sony Pictures Entertainment just announced
that they're taking bids from major media and tech company
for the streaming rights for both of those game shows.
Do you know how much money these places are gonna
pay to stream those shows.

Speaker 6 (01:01:25):
I've been so upset that I can't stream Jeopardy. It
drives me nuts. And now it's gonna be able to
hopefully you'll be able.

Speaker 8 (01:01:30):
To suit and everybody loves Raymond Reunion. It's finally in
the works now. Ray Romano has been against doing a reboot,
and that's because some people have passed away, like Peter
Boyle Doris Roberts who played Raymond's parents. They've passed away,
and he doesn't really want to do the show without them,
But a reunion type show, he is open to that
with some classic clips, behind the scenes stories, some interviews,

(01:01:53):
so that could be on the way. Zendeia is going

Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:03:32):
All right, let's let's talk about new music.

Speaker 1 (01:03:34):
Hold on, who would you listen to? Gandhi? If you're
a racecar drip, I'd be gaga to drive fast.

Speaker 6 (01:03:40):
Yes, it would have to be some type of like
rock or metal.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Flashing star.

Speaker 8 (01:03:43):
Yeah, see I would do I would do uh pink,
get the party started, okayrilics.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Please, crilics. Okay, back to you all right, now back
to new music. That drop.

Speaker 19 (01:03:54):
We kicked the show off with Benson Boone and here
is Sorry. I'm here for someone.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
Else, so one news, it's good to see a face.

Speaker 10 (01:04:07):
You do and world.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
Okay, I love him. That song is awesome. Yes, love it.
I'm gonna listen to it all weekend.

Speaker 19 (01:04:17):
And now Halsey has a new one. This is called
safe Word.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Wow. Okay my safe Words Banana, Mine's Deeper.

Speaker 19 (01:04:44):
And then finally Lizzo gives us love in real life.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
Love real life.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Those last two songs have no sonically the same song
yeah sort of yeah, but different sounds from them though,
right there. I love that and you're good American. Thank
you very much, thank you much. Let's see, I'm gonna
play a song. You want to hear a little Ganga?
Do you wanna hear a little Scissa, some sexy red
and Bruno?

Speaker 6 (01:05:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
Yes, you need a little fat, juicy song. Yeah, yes, Wow,
Lady Gaga Africa Daberg. I love her. Her voice is
so great in that song. You know, we were talking
about voices actually, the vocal quality of some of these
artists that we play. Some of them, you know, use

(01:05:41):
auto tune when they do their sessions and it corrects
their voice to put it right on tune, and sometimes
you can't. You don't know they're using it. Back in
the nineteen seventies, before they had auto tune, there was
a band called Boston. This is way before everyone's time,
and the lead singer was Brad Delp, who is no
longer with us. There was a song called more than
a Feeling. Maybe you've heard it before. Listen to this

(01:06:02):
guy's voice. His voice is crazy walk in and so

(01:06:32):
it sounds almost like there is auto tune, but they
didn't have it back then. So what they would do
is they would overdub. They would sing over their voice
like two or three times to make it sound like that.
It's crazy. I don't know. There's nothing better than a
great vocalist. There's so many fantastic vocalists that never have
a hit. And there are so many people who have
gone to number one many times who can't sing with

(01:06:55):
a damn. That's the way it is. You know, all
of the three things we need to know from Gandhi?
And you know Guy Fietri. Do you smell the chicken frying?

Speaker 11 (01:07:07):
Oh god?

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
Chicken? Guy is his new restaurant down the street in
Times Square. He's brought us chicken for the second time
this week, which I think is just fascinating. We're gonna
get into the mind of Guy Fieri. You're gonna be surprised.
There are things about him you don't know. You're about
to find out in a few minutes. All right, Gandhi,
three things? What's up?

Speaker 6 (01:07:23):
Okay? China is threatening to retaliate after talk of another
ten percent tariff hike on Chinese goods could be coming.
President Trump announced Thursday that he was imposing more tariffs
on Chinese exports to the US starting March fourth, China's
Ministry of Commerce responded today saying it firmly opposes the
threat and vowed that China will take all necessary countermeasures
to defend its legitimate rights and interests. Mexico is sending

(01:07:48):
dozens of drug lords to the US. Mexican's good, Yes, well,
they're coming for trials. Mexico's Attorney General's office confirmed that
officials started extraditing twenty nine cartel figures currently in Mexican jails.
The crime bosses include a high ranking fentanyl drug lord
in the Sinaloa cartel, another who was convicted of murdering
a DEA agent back in the eighties. Also being extradited

(01:08:10):
are members of the violent Zetas gang, who are known
for dissolving their rivals in acid and other body tactics.
The State Department has not commented on those extraditions.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
I thought they were coming in for a convention.

Speaker 6 (01:08:25):
Can you imagine them announcing that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
A trade show. Look at this barrel. You can actually
boil your enemies in this thing.

Speaker 6 (01:08:30):
Open the best plastic you've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (01:08:34):
And finally, Newsweek magazine has come out with its ranking
of the world's best hospitals and the Mayo clinic in
Minnesota is on top. The list is put together considering
recommendations from medical experts, patient surveys, and performance indications like
hygiene measures, patient safety, and the quality of treatment. The
Mayo Clinic in Minnesota came out at number one in

(01:08:56):
the rankings, while the Cleveland Clinic placed second in the
ranking for a seventh straight year. And we know how
much medical care is changing, and we appreciate the good ones.
So that's some good news. And those are your three things.

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Thank you. You know what Nate has worked so hard on,
not only this week's shows. We had such a kick
ass week of shows this week with incredible guests. Next
week a legend will be joining us, Vanna White will
be here. I'm so excited to talk to Vana White.
And next week our friends at pet Meds are bringing
us not puppies, but a free money phone tap week,

(01:09:30):
an entire week of thousand dollars free money phone taps
thanks to pet Meds. And by the way, do we
get an adoption count from the puppy puppies? Yes, yesterday?
Did any want to adopted them?

Speaker 8 (01:09:41):
If they all got adopted.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Well, that's what I'm wondering. We'll find out. We'll let
you know when we come back from the weekend. Now,
are you ready for some fried chicken with Guy Fieri? Yes,
all right, we're gonna take you to Flavortown, coming right out.

Speaker 7 (01:10:26):
Live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
He was here Wednesday, bad news. He remembered the address
in his back. He's Guy PIEDI is in the house.
I haven't.

Speaker 11 (01:10:38):
I haven't been here for five seconds, and had I
already had the truck back over me.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
Okay, got it, I got it. It's great to be home.
We love it when you're here. We love it when
you're anywhere, and you're everywhere. We've seen you. Last week.
You were at the South Beach Wine Food Festival, in
which I didn't I noticed you weren't there this year.
Are you still have that restraining order. I mean, you're
not allowed to come around within five hundred feet. If
I'm gonna have that removed, you have the power. We

(01:11:05):
have so much to talk about with you. First of all,
Chicken Guy right down the street in Times Square is open.
We had a tasting of that Wednesday, and you brought
somewhere today. Right.

Speaker 11 (01:11:13):
I just figured you. I was looking at you. I'm thinking,
you can't even walk out in a heavy wind. Now
you're so light. You have to have like lead feet,
lead boots like those divers.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Had back in the day. If I took my shirt off,
I would clear this room. It's not a pretty suze,
is that what? Okay? Yeah? One thing we love. One
of the main things we love about Chicken Guy the
sauces you had with this fried chicken. And no one
loves sauce more than Gandhi.

Speaker 6 (01:11:33):
I have my flight.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
She has the flight of sauce. She told me there
was that we have a flight of sauces. Which sauce
are you loving the most?

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:11:40):
Okay, So the buffalo is very good, so is the barbecue.
I got the special sauce, which is the one I
think I like the most.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
That's funny.

Speaker 11 (01:11:47):
That is the number one selling sauce across the country.
We're we're in thirty thousand grocery stores across the country
with Flavortown sauces. I mean, Flavor Touch sauce is on fire.
And it started out as Donkey sauce was the number one,
which I still is my favorite sauce. But the the
secret sauce that's more of a kind of what we'd

(01:12:07):
call fry sauce in the Midwest.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
So it's got a little ketchup.

Speaker 11 (01:12:10):
It's got a little mustards, got a little mag I
got a little bit of spice, got a little seasoning.
But that is but that is that's the hot cellar.
The other favorite I have over there, you have that
National Hot Honey.

Speaker 6 (01:12:18):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
That's my favorite.

Speaker 11 (01:12:21):
Wait a second, I brought you to the honey too
because you were talking about mustard on you ask me.
He said everything you had to have to have a honey.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
Speaking of sauce, did you and Kane Brown hook up together?
You created a sauce with cake? I wish no offense.
I love Kate Brown. He's one of our friends. What
does he know about sauces?

Speaker 11 (01:12:35):
Well, I think that most artists, particularly country artists, have
a real passion and appreciation for great food.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
And when we.

Speaker 11 (01:12:43):
Talked to Caine about it, and Caine had not a
recipe but a place that he liked sauce from a
style of sauce. So we worked on it for about
six months and kept sending.

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
It to him like what do you think? What do
you think? What do you think? What do you think?
And finally he's like, this is it?

Speaker 11 (01:12:55):
And so we came out with this collab together and
it just it crushed. We had so much fun. So
we're talking now. Of course everybody's coming along like, hey,
you know, I've got this sauce that I was thinking about.
Some of them aren't really going to be marketable and
able to be on the shelf, but Gaines was Any's
such a great guy.

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
I mean, is it a literally a brown sauce? What
is it?

Speaker 11 (01:13:14):
It's barbecue sauce. Yeah, yeah, no, it's a barbecue. Yeah,
it's a barbie sauce. And not all barbecue sauces are
so varied. It's not. It's not like Alfredo sauce. Alfreda
sauce got a little bit of a window, you know,
But when you get into sauces like hot sauce. That
that's a huge that's a you know, that's a huge
window of challenges or representations from sweet to heat, the salty,

(01:13:35):
to extra spicy to extra vinegar. And so barbecue sauce
is kind of along those lines. And we have regions
of barbecue. So this is a little bit more on
the I would take a little more of the vinegary side,
but not not super but not super vinegar, and a
good little bit of sweetness to it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
It's great sauce. There's a sauce I love in the Caribbean.
We were just in Turks and Caicos at the Conk Shack,
and I think you're pronouncing it wrong. It is conk.

Speaker 11 (01:14:00):
Don't you say cong Just keep saying it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
It's a it's a Caribbean flavored. I think that's the
new sauce you should be you should be looking at.

Speaker 11 (01:14:10):
I think that you'll try the secret sauce, special sauce,
secret sauce.

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
I think you try that.

Speaker 11 (01:14:15):
I think you'll find that similar to maybe not as spicy,
but I think it's along those lines.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
You don't say conch, do you, because that's not right.

Speaker 11 (01:14:22):
No, no, no, no, no, but you can't say it
and not you're not smile.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
So I don't know about you. But if you've been
watching as long as we have, we've been watching your
son Hunter grow up with you on the shows. And
now he's a part of the show. I mean he's
he's a major part of your brand. Now he's getting married,
Yes he is. So are you do you have to
cook for your own son's wedding.

Speaker 11 (01:14:47):
Believe it or not. I'm not going to cook for it.
It is going to be at my ranch or our
ranch or the kids ranch. It's called hunt Ride Ranch.
That's where if you used to film Guys Ranch kitchen.
So it's it's interesting.

Speaker 7 (01:14:59):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (01:14:59):
He has so many aunts and uncles, so many of
my friends that are great chefs that love him and
have seen him grow up just as you have and said, oh,
we want to help, we want to help, we want
to help. So now how do you get you know,
seven or eighty or great friends that are all super
schefs that all want to come in and weigh in
on the on the wedding menu, you buy more burners,
is what you do.

Speaker 10 (01:15:18):
We're going to be.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Buying more of something.

Speaker 11 (01:15:20):
I don't know what it is, but you know, it's
just a really quaint, so funny Eric and my popists said, yeah,
you made a quote the other day that it's just
going to be kind of like a small, small wedding
of three hundred and fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
She's a small wedding's fifty people. Three hundred and fifty
is ridiculous.

Speaker 11 (01:15:34):
I said, I think it's ridiculous too, But now it's
going to be a yeah, it's what he wants, that's
what they want.

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
Look at everything that's happened to you since the first
time we met. Nineteen years ago. Guy Fieri was on
our show. You were still interning from high school, and
he didn't even he didn't even he wasn't even on
camera then, but he was on the show.

Speaker 11 (01:15:52):
We helped the pick the winning without question. The show
was oh the next few network stars. Yeah, they don't
call it, so they don't have any the show's the
show's not on there anymore. I have been asking the
network to bring it back because I really want to
give somebody the opportunity like I, like I had. The
way I went through the season that I went through,
there was a lot of a lot of tutelage. Yes,

(01:16:14):
it was all competition, but you got to learn things.
So I got to learn from the best. Rachel Ray
was I think one of my greatest teachers. Bobby was
a great teacher. There was just so many different people
out in Brown waded in about like how to make
your show and make it you So there were so
many It was a much different show season two than
I think it evolved to. But I've asked to bring
it back and let me see if I can help
develop the next uh, you know, the next superstar.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Remember that day chicken parmer Jong we had I think
it was five yep, some of contestants and Guy was
one of them. And we asked for chicken parm because
that's the official official dish of our show.

Speaker 11 (01:16:48):
And so you have an official dish of chick Where
is the why is there not a chicken parm mascot?

Speaker 1 (01:16:55):
Somebody chancing around as a Cutlet they to eat them right?
Shot them around to make a video game. Your chicken
harm was by far the best, and we knew when
you left our show that day that you were the
next network star, right well, I appreciate the support on
that and it has been quite a wild ride. A
lot of things going on.

Speaker 11 (01:17:13):
But you know, the network's been awesome to me and
the opportunities I have. I produce a bunch of shows
now for my fellow chefs and friends, and Tournament of
Champions being one of them. And the whole reason I
built that was just to make sure that I gave
back and recognize where I came from and how hard
of it, you know, but you got to you gotta
have a great platform to start from, and that's why
I tried to create.

Speaker 6 (01:17:34):
So when you're looking if you get this show that
you want to do, what are you looking for in
the next star?

Speaker 11 (01:17:40):
I think they got to be able to do it all.
I mean, you got to be able to walk and talk.
Pressure No, it's you got to be able to walk
and talk. You got to really know food. I mean
like food has to run in your blood. You have
to be food centric food first. And I've met a
lot of people that are really good on TV don't
quite have all the chops and food, so they can't
really engage to the to the depths.

Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
And then I watched people that have really amazing food.

Speaker 11 (01:18:04):
Knowledge and background and experience, but they can't walk and talk,
and there's just a it's it's really that unique blend
of the two. But I think that people can be taught.
I can't teach you food food. You gotta know you
got to come in with the food chops. But after that,
like learning how to do it. You guys were a
great experience.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
Did you rememberrown?

Speaker 11 (01:18:20):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
I was so nervous. You guys are nationwide and I'm
coming in. You're gonna try my chicken farm. I'm like,
I'm gonna die.

Speaker 11 (01:18:27):
But you learn to get through it and not sit there,
you know, step all over yourself when you're trying to talk.
And you guys gave us great experience. So I think
it's that. I think it's let's bring him in with
great food experience and let's see if we can train
them to be camera and radio.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Pretty see.

Speaker 6 (01:18:42):
I think this is Elvis's next calling. He needs to
be the star of the show.

Speaker 8 (01:18:45):
No no, no, yeah, no, absolutely no.

Speaker 6 (01:18:48):
You know food and you can walk and talk and
you're trying to get rid of us. This will be perfect.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
Gets She's got a point. You could be the protege.

Speaker 11 (01:18:55):
I mean we could just do a coaching you into
who knows. I mean, he has the right hair, all
that from sorry, right here, the mother jacket.

Speaker 1 (01:19:02):
I mean, he's got the pass.

Speaker 8 (01:19:03):
That would be a great concept, the right from the
start to finish, how you coach them from the beginning
and what they look like at the end.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
Well, Danielle Stocking the good idea for a show. The
network is stealing these ideas. I do want to bring
up something I have to say thank you to you.
I have not seen you for a private moment since
the pandemic. Pandemic. You worked your ass off to take
care of a lot of people, and I know you
probably don't want to toot your own horn. You want

(01:19:29):
to talk about what you and your friends did, because
you really did a lot. I'll make it. I'll make
it a quick story.

Speaker 11 (01:19:36):
I got word from friends inside of the California legislation
that they were going to be closing restaurants in California,
and at that time, i didn't have any restaurants in California.
And I'm thinking, oh my gosh. I think it was
a Wednesday, and I'm like I have all my friends
are loading up their walk ins right now, getting ready
for their weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Everybody's looking forward to the restaurant.

Speaker 11 (01:19:54):
Inustry. We look forward the weekend. That's when people start
really making their money. That's when everything comes. It's got
to you work all through the week and then you
really make the bank on your Friday, Saturday Sunday. I'm like,
these people are going to be I mean, they're going
to be hamstrung on this one. They're going to be
the Achilles Heel. So that happens, they close the restaurants,
and that Sunday night, I called my attorney Buddy, and

(01:20:14):
I said, Hey, I need the names of the fifty biggest,
most powerful people that are making money off the restaurant industry.
So I want Pepsi and Coke and Uber Eats and
Amazon and you name it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
Give me their email. Okay.

Speaker 11 (01:20:26):
So he doesn't really understand what it's all about. Long
story short. I make individual thirty to ninety second videos
saying hey, Pepsi, you've been a partner with us in
the restaurant industry forever and you've been making great money
and this has always worked out good. But you know
what we're coming, the pandemics hitting, and I've got all
these restaurant workers are going to be out of jobs
and they're going to need some money and need money quick.
Because we live paycheck to paycheck in this business. I'd

(01:20:49):
really appreciate if you'd partner with me. I want to
raise a bunch of money, and I'll make sure everybody
knows you're a superstar. And the reason I bring Pepsi
up is because the next morning, my manager calls and says, hey,
I got on the phone something about a hot message
from you, and they want to give you a million dollars.
Almost time, I almost drove off the road. And by

(01:21:10):
the end of that day we were at like six
point five million. And every morning I would get up
at four am and do feeds to New York to
do live feeds New York talking about this money and
raised and we raised twenty six point eight million dollars
and we gave over forty five thousand, five hundred dollars
grants to restaurant workers and granted there's one point seven
million that were without a job. But it wasn't so

(01:21:32):
much about the money is It was about my industry.
The industry I grew up in the industry I loved
so much I was. I was a chef way before
I was ever a I was a cook before I
was a chef, and it was just showing our industry
how much we love them, how much we respect them,
how much we appreciate them, And that resonated through the industry,
I think and was a I think it was a
pretty vital, vital point at a vital time.

Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
Beyond the industry, it resonated. I just want to say
thank you for that. Oh you met brother. We've had
a lot of fun stuff to talk about with Guy
Fieri coming up right after.

Speaker 7 (01:21:59):
This, the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
The Master of Me is her new biography. It's Kicky Palmer.

Speaker 8 (01:22:06):
Hey, I have a question about the book. If I
listen to it on like an audible, are you telling
the story?

Speaker 16 (01:22:11):
Yes, yes, I live take an edible audible.

Speaker 20 (01:22:16):
At Mercedes Benz, there's a reason they go the extra mile,
from testing their vehicles in desert heat and arctic cold
to creating AI that can anticipate your needs and preferences
on the road. They demand every car is worthy of
their star because it's Mercedes Benz.

Speaker 7 (01:22:34):
Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. This is Elvis Duran
in the Morning shown.

Speaker 1 (01:22:41):
Pierre is here during the during the song yeah you
just ate more chicken. I gotta be honest, I'm all
chicken out, man, I've had more chicken today and you
have chicken. Come, you can be you can go to
the Cooper. We have to talk about what's happening Sunday
on the Food Network, Yes, and streaming on Max as well.

(01:23:01):
It's the Tournament of Champions. Don't talk about it because
I know this is your baby. Oh this is this
is really the baby. I'll tell you.

Speaker 11 (01:23:09):
So Diners, Drivings and Dives been on for seventeen years,
maybe yesterday, but yeah, seems like forever.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
Guys, grocery game ten plus.

Speaker 11 (01:23:17):
So every once in a while you have a little epiphany,
and this about this Tournament Champions. Iron Chef had gone away,
and I was always so bummed about that because all
those iron chefs I'm such a fan of, you know,
they're just they're masters, They're just incredible competitors, amazing chefs.
And I'm like, we gotta do something. We got to
bring back this title belt stuff. This's got to bring
And I'm a huge MMA fan, big boxing fan, you know,

(01:23:40):
and I'm thinking, I want to make something that will
live in perpetuity, so they could come and compete, they
get named champion, they get the championship belt, they get
the championship ring, and forever they will be considered a
champion of this competition. Oh so the network wanted nothing
to do with it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
I said, no, it's bracket.

Speaker 11 (01:24:00):
It's back of competitions, head to head, win one, move on,
lose one, you're gone. No, no, no, we don't have
people who watch sports that wie resonates right during the pandemic. Finally,
after three years, it actually hit during March Madas. They
were kind of like, Okay, I guess we have no
other choice.

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
We'll do your.

Speaker 11 (01:24:13):
Tournament of whatever, tournament guys warriors. They wanted to call
all these goofy names. They said, do not put my
name on it. I want this to live in perpetuity.
I want Hunter to be hosting this rider. You want
to live after they fire you, exactly, because when I
come to work for you and I'm still and I
remember I washed cars really good. So anyhow, we make
this show up and it starts off with a variety
of things. One I said, we're gonna have this wheel

(01:24:34):
that we're going to spin the wheel and it's going
to pick the protein in the vegetable. And the style
of cooking and the piece of equipment they must use,
and the time they have. They said, well, what is
that thing called? Five minutes before the show starts? Five minutes?
They said, what are you calling that thing over there?
The you know, the death wheel or something like. You
can't call something what do you call the randomizer?

Speaker 6 (01:24:58):
Supervillain?

Speaker 11 (01:25:00):
The randomizer? Randomizer? I had five minutes left, and I go,
it's random. You know all the random choices, it's the randomizer. Yeah,
let's work with that. That's a working title. Quick cut
the graphics on the wheel if where it was at.
But I'll tell you the biggest argument was, so, here's
what I want. I want them to come out to
opening music. I want them to come out with that
title fight. Look, I want them to be the badass

(01:25:21):
that they are. These chefs are the best of the
best of the best. I mean, this is an un
I just had all of them come down or a
bunch of them come down to South Beach Wide and Food,
and we did this Tournament of Champions event on Friday night.

Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
It was the best food I think I've ever seen
in South Beach.

Speaker 11 (01:25:36):
But the thing is, we're bringing them in, so I
give them their title song. They get to pick the
music they want.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
They have.

Speaker 11 (01:25:39):
They have a fight name or a chef name and
their nickname and they do thirty minute battles and it is.
I mean, I'm there just like it. I'm on the
edge of my seat the entire time. There's no faking
the time, there's no oops, somebody dropped something. We're gonna
give them another one. We have no games here. And
that the big thing was I had to have a
live audience. So the last thing came down to it

(01:26:00):
was just going to be too much to pay for
the audience. I said, that is that's it. See, I said, great,
I'll pay for the audience.

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
There you go. How much is an audience? He was
one hundred and fifty thousand. Wow, you know it. You
know it was two weeks of filming. But the reality
of it is I didn't need to You wanted the
energy of the audience. Yeah. My my agent, Jason Hotis
w Jason, let me pick that up with a Shameles dropped.

Speaker 11 (01:26:23):
But my agent said, you got them to admit that
they need an audience. First thing. This is the best
day of my first thing. We're walking out of the
first competition. We just got done. We just got done filming.
The audience was electric, the place was on fire. Really
well known chef Alex Warner. Shelley had been sent home,
and Alex is one of my dearest friends, like a sister. Anyhow,
we're walking out in the big President Kathleen Finch looks

(01:26:46):
at me and she goes, oh God, this show, this
is going to be massive.

Speaker 1 (01:26:50):
I said, yeah, I agree. You know what I like
about it the most? I said, no, Kathleen, what She
goes the audience and I'm looking knock at all my
vps and I'm like, yeah, really, the audience. What an idea?

Speaker 11 (01:27:04):
And it really is because we know that we all
perform at a higher level when you got all these
eyes on you and we've got a bunch of people. Now,
the audience they come for free. Now they line up
in the parking lot to get in. But it really
the the energy level inside of the of the arena,
next level. Okay, I have one request because I know
an iron chef they had this. I don't know if
you've used this, because you're going into the sixth season

(01:27:26):
and I haven't seen this piece of equipment. You're not
using the ice cream machine?

Speaker 1 (01:27:30):
Are you for what. Okay, So on Iron Chef, they
always had that soft served ice cream machine, but they
would make stupid stuff like tuna ice cream things like that.
It was just disgusting. I made Pepto bismo ice cream
one time. Oh I'm not surprised. Yeah it was actually
it was actually good.

Speaker 8 (01:27:49):
I feel like that's like, you know how a Moxie
zilin when you were it tastes like bubble gum. I
feel like that would be good ice cream.

Speaker 1 (01:27:55):
Yetally, what other over the counter things would make great
ice cream? Robi Tusses put a little tossed on it.
You can make your own scissor yea.

Speaker 11 (01:28:06):
Yeah, so anyhow, so no, we do make the ice
cream machine available, so we do have it as a
piece of equipment that they can use.

Speaker 1 (01:28:14):
I try.

Speaker 3 (01:28:14):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:28:14):
One of the things we do about it is I
want I always like people on my shows to have
a takeaway. I want them to be able to watch
it and kind of like maybe have a little inspiration
of what they could do with it. So we bring
in a variety of different types of crazy cooking equipment.
I mean, we had a microwave popcorn maker that they
had to use at some point in time, and that
use of the equipment, believe it or not, is a
lot of times the the Achilles heel of the chef

(01:28:37):
in terms of that in the style of cooking. So
you know, I have someone make a really nice, fine
dining dish, but it's supposed to be a takeout dish.
So can you really explain that that dish in the
way it was presented? Now, somebody goes and makes a
pretty good dish and they put it in a takeout
food box.

Speaker 1 (01:28:53):
It has a whole different piers.

Speaker 11 (01:28:55):
But the key, oh this was the other big key,
which had never been done before, was blind tasting. So
the judges were sequestered, are sequestered and are never allowed
to see who's cooking. Matter of fact, they're not even
allowed to know who's going to be there competing, and
the competitors aren't allowed to know who's going to be
judging this season.

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
So when they look at the food.

Speaker 11 (01:29:15):
Now, the craziest thing for me is when I know
the relationship between the chef that's competing and the chef
that's judging, and the chef that's judging will look at
it and go, yeah, I don't know that this is
really a good idea. I don't know what this chef
was thinking, and that chef just got done working for
that chef, you know, for some weird little scenario like that,
or their biggest fan of that chef.

Speaker 1 (01:29:36):
You know, it's crazy.

Speaker 11 (01:29:37):
And I bring in the star studded cast of super
judges to make it happen.

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
And that's even another.

Speaker 11 (01:29:44):
You know, mind blowing moment because now you're going to
watch all these incredible chefs competing sitting in their green room,
watching through closed circuit TV, watching the judges judge them,
and they're just.

Speaker 1 (01:29:55):
Crying on the floor, jumping on the couch. We love drama. Wow, yes,
tears yours are always good. Uh so you're rolling into
the sixth season. It's happening this Sunday, eight pm Eastern
Pacific on Food Network and Chris streaming on Max the
Tournament of Champions with our friend Guy Fieri. You know what,
congratulations on everything. Well, you got some list of notes

(01:30:16):
on it is here my police report too. You know what,
one of my favorite, one of my favorite conversations about Diners,
Drivers and dives is how it's how the show is
put together with duct tape and stick. Well, Okay, let's
talk about your convertible. Does that really go all these places?
Is that? Is it the same convertible everywhere you go?

Speaker 11 (01:30:38):
Okay, there's two convertibles. Now, ah, there's two convertibles. Uh,
they are my cars. And we actually did a show
about making the second convertible because if you listen to
my sons sit there and argue about who's getting the
convertible when I'm dead, I'm like, this is morbid.

Speaker 1 (01:30:54):
Hunters.

Speaker 11 (01:30:55):
Hey, I was in the car before you were young
writers like, yeah, I'm a better driver, so any No,
the reason that I really built two is because I
love that car. I love sixty eight Camaros. I'm a
bow tie guy, and my car is always on the road.
We have one guy, a great guy named Todd, that
all he does is drive a truck and a trailer
around the country with that car in it.

Speaker 1 (01:31:15):
Thank God for Todd. Todd is as Tod's hero.

Speaker 11 (01:31:18):
But I will tell you so, back in the day
we first started the show, we had a sixty seven
Camaro not in the greatest shape. And the reason I
built the sixty eight is because I needed to make
sure that when I started the car in front of
a couple hundred fans standing in front of the restaurant.
It didn't just sit there and going I'm like, this
is embarrassing. We did have one time where the top
got broken going down. I'm a backyard mechanic, not the

(01:31:42):
greatest mechanic, and we were in Boulder City, Nevada, and
I had to get a cheap pair of tools, box
end wrenches and take the top off of the car.
If you ever watched the Coffee Cup in Boulder in
Boulder City, Nevada, if you ever watch that episode and
you see the car, look at the car cover in
the back. This is like some inside knowledge. I never
told anybody this. Look at the cover because I had

(01:32:04):
to take the entire top off the car and then
we stuffed produce boxes in the back and filled it
with towels to make the cut that make the biminie
whatever the top fit the back of it, and no
one would ever know.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
I've never told you about it until now.

Speaker 11 (01:32:17):
But you know, how you bring the truth out of people,
You're like some scus here something in the air.

Speaker 1 (01:32:21):
TV's been doing these little tricks for years. There's all
sorts of stuff going on. Radio. Never does any of
that never never, never, never. Look, we love you, guy.
We've loved you for nineteen years and we're gonna love
you for at least another two or three.

Speaker 11 (01:32:34):
So you see, you just don't hear the freight train coming.
You're standing there waving at the crowd, and then the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
Just takes you out. So do us a favor, not guy,
do us a favor. Make sure you support supports the
sixth season, of course of a Tournament of Champions, which
is this Sunday night at eight o'clock. And make sure
you check out Chicken Guy, Chicken Guy. No matter where
you are, the one time square is not the only one. No,
we got Chicken Guy all over the country.

Speaker 8 (01:32:58):
Now paramus New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
When's that coming next week?

Speaker 11 (01:33:03):
We started our first one at Disney Springs where we're
in Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:33:07):
Now we're in California.

Speaker 11 (01:33:08):
The key, I'll tell you what, the real key to
this this Chicken Guy is is great chicken. And then
we make the chicken by hand. But being the boss
of the sauce and this flavortown sauces, that was.

Speaker 1 (01:33:18):
My biggest thing. As I'm just like you, I am
a sauce junkie.

Speaker 11 (01:33:22):
I want sauces on everything, and even simple foods can
be elevated to the next level. So the flavortown sauces
was the that was really what kind of helped cattile
it at work as the catalyst.

Speaker 1 (01:33:32):
So, by the way, during this interview, you keep hearing
this noise. Yes, that's not annoying at all.

Speaker 6 (01:33:37):
Is jewelry diamonds?

Speaker 11 (01:33:39):
Absolutely? Well, Look, we love you guy. I really appreciate
being invited this. I know this is my tenth visit

it's the Golden Mic Award. So you're going to take
that golden mic that you have that I don't, and
I leave with that today and I just want to
say you're a man of your word and I appreciate
you so much. It really takes the brotherhood coming together.

(01:34:00):
That's copper, that's golden. Don't try to sell me the difference.

Speaker 1 (01:34:03):
We'll pin you a golden mic of your name everything,
Guy Fieri. We love you.

Speaker 8 (01:34:08):

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
We've had two days of Guy Fieri's chicken, the.

Speaker 8 (01:34:50):

Speaker 1 (01:34:53):
Please, I didn't have one of those.

Speaker 8 (01:34:55):

Speaker 1 (01:34:57):
One oh god. Anyway, Guy Fieri, thanks for coming in
two days this week, and of course, chicking Guy available
for you now, Times Square, New York City. It's always
great to have Guy Fieri here, he says, A nice guy.
I love this story he told about how he raised
money for people in the restaurant industry during pandemic. You

(01:35:17):
know a lot of people think guys just a crazy
guy that rolls around to drivers and divings and drive
ins and dives or whatever. He does a lot more
than that. So thank you very much, Guy Fieri. We
should go around the room. What's on the minds of
people in the room. I'm starting with someone who's not
in our room. In the next room, Scottie b oh Hi,
what's on your mind today.

Speaker 4 (01:35:36):
You know, if you're lucky enough to have your parents
in your lives. I mean, I know in the moment,
they can be pains in the asses sometimes and they
are frustrating sometimes and you just want to tell them
to shut the hell up sometimes, But you have to
appreciate them while they're here. Like while I was on vacation,
my dad came over to my house and completely regrouded

(01:35:57):
and calked my entire shower.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
Because I was having a leak.

Speaker 4 (01:36:02):
And when I came home, he's like, I fixed your
shower for you, and that would have cost me thousands
of dollars to do. So I just want to tell
you to appreciate your parents while they're here, even though
they're annoying sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
Do you think your dad Dick would come call at
my house. I think Dick would call your house. I
love a good Dick.

Speaker 10 (01:36:18):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
Oh sorry, what, but you know what, You're right? Because
it Scary has lost his mother, Danielle has lost her father.
So I've lost both of my parents, and uh, yeah,
celebrates them. They can be parents because they're paid to
be that way. Yes, but yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:36:40):
I can't tell you how many times I tell them
to just just shut up. You're being so still do that.
I stop doing that.

Speaker 1 (01:36:45):
I know, I know, and then after the fact, I
feel really bad. Stop doing that.

Speaker 8 (01:36:48):
I'm going to My dad came over once when you know,
when he was alive.

Speaker 1 (01:36:51):
Obviously did he call your house too?

Speaker 8 (01:36:53):
He didn't call my house, but I flooded my house
and Sheldon was away. He came over and replaced all
the tiles from the sea. You know, those tiles that
ceilings have came over did Yeah, I just did it.
Just came over, rescued me. I remember that. Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:37:07):
I will tell you something about my mom and dad,
and maybe you can say this about your dad. And
maybe it's scary about your mom. Not yet, because it's
it happened recently. I learned so much about my mom
and dad after they passed. Oh yes, and it's hard
to explain why. Maybe you know it started at the
funerals because that's where people would tell stories about their
relationships with your parents. And you're like, I didn't know that. Yep,

(01:37:29):
it's interesting. So yeah, celebrate them while they're alive, and
I'll tell you I just ordered them.

Speaker 4 (01:37:33):
These books that pop up at on Facebook it asked
questions about their life.

Speaker 1 (01:37:39):
What a great idea. Yeah, and it really prompts you
into questions. Yeah, it's it's like, hey, how did you
meet your husband? You know?

Speaker 14 (01:37:48):
What's that memory from childhood that always brings you back
to being a little girl. Wow, those little things that
you think about to ask your parents but you sometimes
forget about.

Speaker 4 (01:37:58):
And I'll probably read it at their few. Not to
be morbid, but I will. That'll be something to talk about. Well,
it'll it'll give you at least things to think about. Yes,
all right, well good, Yes, celebrate your parents. Yes, Gandhi,
I got my dad.

Speaker 6 (01:38:10):
One of these. He refused to fill the book out. Instead,
he typed up an email that is like twenty thousand
pages long, with full essays on every question. And I
was like, I think, I think I appreciate this.

Speaker 1 (01:38:24):
I mean, if you can put it in novel forms,
your dad is definitely a national treasure.

Speaker 6 (01:38:29):
He's something not quite sure which nation, North Korea?

Speaker 1 (01:38:32):
Gandhi, You're not what's up?

Speaker 9 (01:38:34):
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:38:35):
We usually get out of here around ten eleven. Sometimes
if we're here late noon, and we don't stick around
and see what goes on in this building. So much
happens in this building when we leave, Like, what, oh,
the other day I hosted the CEO Club Awards and
all of these salespeople were here from across the country.
There are meals that are served, there are parties, there
are team building activities. There was a masseuse in this

(01:38:57):
building the other day. Well, yeah, we miss everything, you guys,
we miss it all. We need to stick around and
see what else happens around here.

Speaker 8 (01:39:05):
I noticed when we get home there's hey, lunch is
being served. I'm like, dude, what hen't we not have breakfasting?

Speaker 6 (01:39:13):
Hello, lady. We get way more food than I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:39:16):
They have catered parties, yes, oh, some nights with cocktails.

Speaker 6 (01:39:20):
Yeah, and fans theme parties. You wear a jersey, you
get something else. Like there's a whole world that we
don't even know about. So maybe one day we stick
around a little later.

Speaker 1 (01:39:28):
I don't know, scary, what's up with you?

Speaker 18 (01:39:30):
So in November, when I was at my heaviest, I
went to get my blood work and it was pretty bad,
and the doctor said, I'm going to put you on
a stat and I said, what.

Speaker 1 (01:39:39):
Not so fast? I don't want to take drugs if
I don't.

Speaker 18 (01:39:41):
Have to He goes, all right, I'll give you three months,
come back and get you. We're gonna do your blood again.
Fast forward to last week, he calls me up. I
had the results of my blood test, which from from
a week and a half ago, and he said, I
got a hand it to you.

Speaker 1 (01:39:58):
I didn't think that you going to be able to
do it. He says, you're no longer borderline pre diabetic.

Speaker 18 (01:40:05):
You're a one C and all your those numbers in
order cholesterol is is under the mount needed for a
stat and he goes, one hundred people have always come
into my office.

Speaker 1 (01:40:16):
And I give him that same challenge. He goes, I
didn't think you had it in you.

Speaker 18 (01:40:20):
He goes, I am shocked that I have to make
this phone call to you right now and tell you
that you defied the odds and I didn't believe in you.

Speaker 1 (01:40:27):
And I'm sorry I didn't. But that's great you are.
But also keep in mind, you haven't eaten in format.

Speaker 18 (01:40:34):
Where there's that, so I just but but listen he
put me up to the challenge. Doctor Joseph Puma at
sore Medical on Wall Street. I love you, brother, Thank
you for believing in me. Thank you for not putting
me on the statin. But now I have to do everything.

Speaker 8 (01:40:46):
Sacause it's I went on the program all that.

Speaker 18 (01:40:50):
But I just want to say one thing now. I
don't want to f this up. I want to be
able to keep myself in order.

Speaker 1 (01:40:58):
Because he goes.

Speaker 18 (01:40:59):
I want to see you in augain and see where
your numbers are at good. I just want to challenge on,
challenge challenges on to make sure that I don't need
a statin, because that's all I care about.

Speaker 1 (01:41:08):
I want to keep myself off a stat do it.
So I don't know, but it could be done. If
you put your mind to it, do it. You could
do anything you really should. I wish you would do
this year round. Yeah I know I wish too. But
we get some good food in here, you gotta admit.
Oh yeah, but you don't have to eat it all.
Hey pretty sure saying what's up with you today?

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
Yesterday? I mean, we wouldn't shut up about it. So,
you know, thanks to pet Men's, we.

Speaker 9 (01:41:27):
Had a bunch of adoptable puppers in the building, and
who doesn't love puppies.

Speaker 8 (01:41:32):
They're just amazing.

Speaker 9 (01:41:33):
But please, if you're going to adopt, keep in mind
how wonderful senior dogs can be.

Speaker 1 (01:41:39):
I my heart breaks.

Speaker 6 (01:41:41):
There's there's two dogs out there.

Speaker 9 (01:41:42):
One was just found in he's nine, and the other
one is just three and he's been with the shelter
for over a year and a half. Cis Go and Go,
Cisco and Go. They're part pity mixing. And there's there's
a sixty percent chance that a pup will be adopted
and only twenty five percent that a sceener will be adopted.
Apparently that's like a nationwide average. So please consider, because

(01:42:02):
I know all of us if you agree, in some
magical world where my five year old or your dogs weren't,
aren't they just wouldn't anyone be lucky.

Speaker 8 (01:42:08):
To hear dogs?

Speaker 1 (01:42:09):
You know, here's the thing. There are there's so many
you can call them senior dogs or mid life dogs whatever,
that are up for adoption. Some of them have awful,
awful medical problems. Not all of them, I mean most
of them don't as a matter of fact. But the
ones that do, you know that that that is something
you have to really really be prepared for.

Speaker 6 (01:42:29):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:42:29):
But the majority of these dogs that are not puppies,
they're totally healthy dogs. They've got many years, maybe several
years ago. And not only do they need your love,
you need their love.

Speaker 9 (01:42:39):
So you know right on, man, pay attention to the
theaters there the I just I have a special spot
for seaters.

Speaker 6 (01:42:46):
And when I goes love me so much. That's why
I adopted you. I'll show you the paper.

Speaker 1 (01:42:51):
Oh I'm the oldest dog in the room. Who's second oldest?
Danielle totally or is it scary? No, Danielle, I think
it's so Daniell.

Speaker 8 (01:43:03):
So I want to go back to the parents thing
for a minute. Parents, we worry about you. So if
we're calling you nine times, there's a reason because you're
not answering, or if I text you, you're not answering.
This is for you, my mom, because the other night
there was a stomach virus going around like my sister's house,
and so my mom was there and I was a

(01:43:24):
little worried that she had caught it her something. So
I called her nine times and she didn't answer, And
then I texted her and she didn't answer. So what
did I have to do? Go over to her house,
knock on the door, and where was she? Nice and
comfy on the couch in her pajamas. Sitting on her phone.

Speaker 1 (01:43:43):
Yes, And she goes on her phone.

Speaker 8 (01:43:45):
Goes, oh, you called me, let me look, Let me look,
And he's like, oh he did. I'm like, yes, I did,
and I I was worried about you. So please, if
you have a phone, if you have a smart watch,
given it to you for reasons so that we can
make sure you're okay.

Speaker 1 (01:44:04):
If you're a mom, if you're gonna call her and
she's sitting on the phone, have her put it on
vibrations to serve the battery.

Speaker 8 (01:44:12):
She won't feel she won't feel the vibration. Fortunate anyway,
So and I don't think that's a nice joke about
my mom.

Speaker 1 (01:44:23):
So you didn't get it, Nathaniel, what's up? Okay?

Speaker 14 (01:44:27):
We all know the expression March comes in like a lamb,
lion out like a lion, Like a lamb. Looking at
the weather in the northeast, it's gonna be kind of pleasant.
So it's coming in like a lamb, which means the
end of March is gonna be bad.

Speaker 8 (01:44:42):
No, No, he comes in like.

Speaker 14 (01:44:44):
A No, it's if it comes in like a lamb,
it goes out like what.

Speaker 1 (01:44:50):
Are you saying? Is statistically correct? Usually good weather at
the beginning means we got a little more bad.

Speaker 18 (01:44:54):
Whether erect showers bring me flowers about.

Speaker 1 (01:44:59):
March mark point is to enjoy the weather.

Speaker 14 (01:45:04):
It looks like, at least in the Northeast, it's gonna
be pleasant, So enjoy the next few days of temperate temperature.

Speaker 1 (01:45:12):
It may be okay for a while. But statistically speaking,
how we don't know time. Do we have a few
more moments or do you want to care about because
I'm gonna give you something, I'm gonna give you something.
So I saw another one of these things that makes
you go, okay, let me think this through. If you
knew you only had five minutes left to live, who

(01:45:32):
would you spend that five minutes with?

Speaker 14 (01:45:35):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:45:35):
Wow, I know, and I thought about it, and my
answers I had to totally surprised me. I'm not going
to say out loud, but it's an interesting exercise in
that there were people in your life that you maybe
you've lost touch with, or or you've had a falling

(01:45:56):
out with or whatever. Yeah, maybe you spend a lot
of quality of time with the person you're married to,
or the person you see every day at work. Maybe
there's someone out there you really don't see enough that
you always get charged up when you're with them. I
don't know. Maybe that's the person I want to spend
the last five minutes of my life with. I know. Look,
I'm not saying that you should totally discount the fact

(01:46:19):
that you're married to Sheldon and don't want to spend
the last five minutes of your life with him. But
look at all the minutes you've already spent with him.
He's done.

Speaker 8 (01:46:26):
I can tell you who I don't want.

Speaker 1 (01:46:30):
The reason I'm bringing this up is I was surprised
by the names that rolled across my head because I
never would have thought of that unless I was forced
with only five minutes left. Interesting, I don't know. Am
I making sense?

Speaker 6 (01:46:42):
Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:46:44):
I'm thinking about it. Maybe if this is someone you
want to like, just you want to let him know
how you feel about him, and it's not all positive.
But I got five minutes left, and I got to
get this off my chest.

Speaker 6 (01:46:56):
I'm going to spend the last five minutes on Earth
in eight.

Speaker 1 (01:47:03):
The people I'm thinking of are not that I don't know?
All right, thinking about that, having a great day, You
got your phone tap coming up next?

Speaker 7 (01:47:12):
No, I'm done, Elan in the morning show.

Speaker 1 (01:47:17):
All right, shows done, Let's get out of here until
next time. Say peace out, everybody, Peace out, everybody.
