But would you go to a New York City gym

Speaker 9 (08:22):
Anyway, We've got quite a day. I'll explain it all
to you in a few moments. It is ice cream
Truck Thursday, where the Elvis Trade Morning Show ice Cream
Truck is on its way. Yes, did you know we
actually are going to have our own scream truck for
the This is gonna be the summer of Scream Truck.

What is the music that it plays?

Speaker 9 (08:41):
You'll find out, Okay, you'll find out. It's gonna be
a big day of discovery. Let's get into the three
things we need to know from Gandhi and let's get
on with scream truck Thursday. What do you got going on?
All right?

Speaker 12 (08:53):
The Governor of Alabama, k Ivy, has signed a GOP
proposed bill to protect in vitro fertilis AH and make
that a law. The measure was signed last night, moments
after it was officially passed and sent to her, saying
that while IVF is complex, she is confident that this
legislation will provide the assurances IVF clinics need. The legislation
fails to answer whether an embryo created by IVF should

(09:16):
be treated as a child under law in that state.
It will provide civil and criminal immunity for death or
damage to an embryo to any individual or entity providing
or receiving IVF. It's getting very tricky. This is something
The Governor of New York is deploying one thousand National
Guardsmen and police officers to the city's subways. Governor Hock,

(09:39):
it's that serious, yesterday, she said, and it's an attempt
to help drive down the growing crime and violence on
the subway system. The troops and officers will conduct random
bag checks. She's also pushing a bill that would allow
judges to ban violent criminals from ever using transit systems.
And finally, did you guys know that Meta went down

(10:00):
on Tuesday? It just went out for like thirty I
wasn't I didn't realize it happened. I just saw everybody
posting about it.

Speaker 9 (10:06):
I kept resetting my phone, thinking it was my phone,
and then I realized I would. What you do is
do a search on news and it says, yeah, Instagram
is out. Facebook goes out, so I'm like, I'll go
back later. It was out and people repent.

Speaker 12 (10:17):
People were freaking out about it. It made Facebook, Instagram
threads all unusual, on all unusable. It happened yesterday with
LinkedIn in a post on x, the same platform where
Meta updated their users on Tuesday's outage. LinkedIn consumer reports said,
it's not you, it's us. You may be experiencing issues
when you try to visit LinkedIn. Social media site did

(10:38):
return to normal a short time later. Everything's going out.
It's like a rolling outage. What do you think is happening?

Speaker 9 (10:42):
I think the whole world's going out.

Speaker 12 (10:44):
Solar flare or hackers.

Speaker 9 (10:46):
I think it's just you know, it's a bad batch.

Speaker 12 (10:48):
Okay, we'll just start over.

Speaker 9 (10:49):
Recite match. Is that it?

Speaker 14 (10:53):
That's it?

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Those?

Speaker 12 (10:53):
Are you three things?

Speaker 9 (10:54):
Are you guys ready for Thursday?

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Their Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.

Speaker 9 (11:03):
I've come here and eaten half a brito. I didn't
even like to give nibble, and I just look at me.

Speaker 6 (11:07):

Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (11:57):
Diamond, you have this hatred for dogs, some of them. Look,
I know you have allergies and stuff. But you're not
allergic to dogs, well some dogs, yes, okay, anyway, so
if you're allergic to dogs, then you're you're totally fine
with this.

Speaker 12 (12:13):
But I don't know, she's a monster.

Speaker 7 (12:16):
I'm not sure her allergies are. Feel like she picks
and chooses her allergies.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
That one where we go.

Speaker 9 (12:22):
We dogs are great. Dogs are fantastic. If they're not
your thing, okay, great, But if you like physically push
them out of your way when they're they're walking near you,
or you turned your nose up at them like you
just did here in the studio. Yeah, you saw that, right.

Speaker 12 (12:38):
She tried to slam a door and that it does
not slam it.

Speaker 9 (12:40):
It was very hilarious away and she's like that dog
hates me. It was backing up into me, and I
have video, But dogs don't hate you and then back
up into you. That's not how that works.

Speaker 12 (12:50):
Charges.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
No, he backed up and charged at me like he
grabbed up like it was an engine. The dog doesn't
like me, and I don't like the dogs.

Speaker 9 (12:58):
By the way, there was the dog senses that you
don't like him. That's why. Yeah, dog says that don't
give them love. They give love back.

Speaker 17 (13:05):
I don't want to give that one love.

Speaker 12 (13:06):
I also think they understand when you're talking some crap
about them, and he knows that you have nothing but
mean things to say about him, and he's just a
little love bug, so he's trying to teach you a lesson.

Speaker 10 (13:16):
I love it.

Speaker 9 (13:16):
Okay, dogs do not know when you're talking crap about that. No,
they they can. They don't speak English.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
Mean in like a bad tone.

Speaker 9 (13:27):
Okay, if you have a bad tone and you have
bad body language, they will sense that. But talking words
they do not understand. Let's stop projecting these things.

Speaker 12 (13:37):
We teach them things all the time with commands. Yes,
parents understand English. How do you think you don't know that?

Speaker 4 (13:44):
The dog doesn't know.

Speaker 7 (13:46):
Parents understand English.

Speaker 9 (13:47):
Parents do not understand English. They may, they tell them.
They mimic the sound the Spanish. They will mimic whatever.
They kiss each they.

Speaker 12 (14:00):
I think they know when to the deliver the line.

Speaker 9 (14:02):
You've all lost your frigging mind.

Speaker 12 (14:05):
You guys have no magic.

Speaker 9 (14:06):
They do not. They we do. But look, until my
dogs understand English. They understand things that they've heard over
and over and over. They do, but they know the
difference in go pee and go poop. Those are two
different words because because that's after years of knowing gopee,
go poop.

Speaker 12 (14:21):
Yeah, they learn.

Speaker 9 (14:23):
I don't think you. I don't think you guys understand
at all. If you just made a noise instead of
saying go pee, like anytime you went, he would go
pee or go poop exactly.

Speaker 12 (14:33):
You know you've never even had dog nat.

Speaker 9 (14:35):
I trust me, I know enough about dogs. The one
thing I do know about dogs being allergic is they
are attracted to people that are allergic because the person
that's allergic tries not to make eye contact right wants attention.
So I don't go to you. Yeah, But sitting here
saying that people have these pets driving a conversation.

Speaker 12 (14:55):
I know that they know languages.

Speaker 7 (14:57):
Yes, this one's this says on the internet, and you
know everything you read on the internet. Do parents understand English? Possibly?
Experts say parents probably do not understand meanings of most words. However,
they are aware of the context surrounding words and can
make associations with the words.

Speaker 9 (15:15):
For exam, I agree with that.

Speaker 7 (15:16):
Tim Wright, the researcher, said, when you walk in a room,
your parent might say, how are.

Speaker 9 (15:21):
You because to say that we don't have enough hours
in the days.

Speaker 12 (15:26):
Because he speaks English.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
I think so.

Speaker 9 (15:30):
Just speaking English, that's what they're doing so much right now.

Speaker 12 (15:34):
Do you know the worst part about this whole thing?

Speaker 9 (15:37):
All of you?

Speaker 12 (15:37):
Yes, besides all of us. Diamond wants to get a dog.
She hates this little critter that comes in here, but
she somehow wants to get a dog. And I just
think we should somehow step in an interview.

Speaker 7 (15:48):
I don't listen.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
There are a lot of people who don't like kids,
but they love their kid, so I don't understand we
give them a pass.

Speaker 9 (15:55):
You know, that's a very good point. All right. With
that said, let's get in to the Floriscopes with producer
sam Hi. Who are you doing there with? How about
Froggy today? All right? How about Froggy on Food News Thursday?

It is the top I can do ten if you'd like,

you're eating.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Mmm.

Speaker 9 (17:53):
God, I can think of a lot, but let's not
use them. I don't want to ruin his countdown. Thank you.
I guess they're so nice.

Speaker 12 (18:03):
The morning is young.

Speaker 9 (18:04):
I know I'm bursting at the seams, so I'm dying
to talking about Gandhi Gandhi things. I'm bursting at the
seams and I'm ready to talk about my top food turnoffs.
I realized I do a couple of these things. I'm looking.
Oh look, I just found the list. But I'm gonna
we are embargling this until Froggy does it on his

(18:24):
Food News.

Speaker 12 (18:24):
What time is Food News?

Speaker 9 (18:27):
We could do it early if you want. We're gonna
do it a little bit.

Speaker 12 (18:29):
I feel like we're gonna have a really hard time
holding off on this one all morning.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (18:32):
Okay, well there's that. We do have a busy day.
You know who's coming to see yesterday, our friend Dan Harris.
He's not gonna be on for a while though, right
what time is Dan on? He's on in two hours? Okay.
Here's the thing. Dan Harris used to be. Well, if
you saw him, you would know exactly who he is.
He still does that guy, by the way, he used
to be on Good Morning America. He did Nightline ABC News,

(18:55):
and then his life was changed. He went in to
sub doing the news on Good Morning America and he
froze up, went too a panic attack because the night
before he was up doing blow Anyway, he started to
discover himself, went into meditation, and he has now left

(19:17):
the news business, the journalism business, and now because of
his best selling book called ten Percent Happier, he's doing meditation,
anxiety training, all sorts of stuff.

Speaker 7 (19:27):
Don't forget the app that he has.

Speaker 9 (19:28):
In the app absolutely well Ten Percent Happier. I remember
reading it for the first time ten years ago. Can't
believe it's been ten years. It got me back into
meditating as well, and it's I need to get back
into it because that's easy to fall out of it.
Maybe he'll get us back in today. Anyway, it all
started with his panic attack on Good Morning America and
his New York Times bestseller Ten Percent Happier is really

(19:49):
a great read for anyone and everyone. He's the guy who,
in my mind anyway, made meditation mainstream. It's not just
for people who hug trees and save whales, you know
what I'm saying, people like you, Gandhi.

Speaker 12 (20:04):
Yes, not just for me. We can all do it.

Speaker 9 (20:08):
We all can do. Do you meditate?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
I do?

Speaker 9 (20:10):
Yeah? I love it enough.

Speaker 12 (20:12):
Probably not enough, but I do it. I would say,
probably five times a week.

Speaker 9 (20:17):
Right, yeah, yeah, I get in a couple times a week.
It's not enough.

Speaker 13 (20:20):
I don't.

Speaker 9 (20:21):
Yeah. Well, you know what.

Speaker 7 (20:23):
It's great and it's funny because Dan tried to get
me to remember for the longest time, and I think
he even wrote an article about all of us, and
in it, I was the one where he was like, yeah,
we need to try and get this one to bend,
you know what.

Speaker 9 (20:34):
And if you did, you may get into it, may not.
You know, it's everyone's different, right. I find it fascinating.
I mean, there are studies out there where they can
prove with certainty it can change your life for the better,
and that they've introduced meditation techniques to the military and
to a huge corporations. I mean, it's anyway. Dan Harris

(20:55):
will be here in a couple hours.

Speaker 12 (20:57):
The yogi's in India who have been practicing this for
so long, they when you get to a certain point
in your meditation, you can lower your blood pressure without
down lower your heart rate. You can do so many
things with your body just by doing this.

Speaker 9 (21:10):
But if someone says the word meditation, it has the
same effect as spirituality on some people or religion. People
run the other way. They don't want to hear about it.
Don't want to hear about it. We'll talk about it, Nana, Nah,
I can't hear you la la la la la, because
it I guess it's intimidating.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
It's not easy to do either. I've tried and I can't.
I can't shut my brain off.

Speaker 9 (21:31):
So but see, that's meditation. Ye see, it's hard to
explain that.

Speaker 12 (21:36):
It's just like everything else, baby steps, you have to
start somewhere. You don't just start with being able to
shut your mind off. You start with all these thoughts
and then as you do it more and more you
get better.

Speaker 9 (21:45):
It's true. But trying to shut your mind off and
even failing it. Shutting off your mind is a part
of meditation. So it's it's hard to understand unless you
read the book ten percent Happier, lots lots of stuff
to focus on those thoughts that come into your head,
because don't turn that off. Don't we all have that
thing where we have this inner dialogue in our head

(22:06):
and it drives us insane. Well, that's letting those thoughts
go is what meditations about. You have to imagine you
standing on a bridge over a creek and you see
a leaf coming down the creek. That's a thought, right,
It comes into your head, then it goes out the
other side and flows down the creek, and you let
it go. You have to learn how to let these
thoughts go, and that's the power meditation.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
I haven't had time to do them.

Speaker 9 (22:30):
You know, there's a book out I think it's called
seven minute meditation. That's how I started.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
Wait, doesn't he have that on the app? Like a
really quick one?

Speaker 9 (22:36):
I think he might.

Speaker 7 (22:37):
I thought he had something cool.

Speaker 9 (22:38):
We'll talk to him he gets here anyway, turn it off.
Let's do this. Let's do guided meditation to put everyone
driving into work. Remember we put people were driving off,
people were driving off the road. It was great. All right,
let's let's make it happen. Daniel, what are you going on?

Speaker 4 (22:56):
All right?

Speaker 7 (22:57):
So we all know that and SINC got back together.
It did a little song for the Trolls movie and
people are like, hey, it's okay, But they have a
new one on Justin Timberlake's album, and Lance Bath said,
you know what, I'm so happy that Justin finally confirmed
the song is called Paradise. He said, we recorded it
a while ago. We've been sitting on it. He said,
it's been a hard secret to keep, but he said

(23:18):
it is one of his favorite songs, one of his
favorite songs that they've ever recorded together. Says it's very
special and very emotional. So I know a lot of
people can't wait for that one. So Harrison Ford was
talking about the John Williams song that you know he
put together. Obviously he's a composer from the Indiana Jones right,

(23:38):
and he says that unfortunately the guy can't get away
from it. If you have it, we will play for you.
Variety was doing a profile on John Williams and so
they talked to Harrison all about it. Harrison said he
was even getting a colonoscopy and this was playing.

Speaker 9 (23:57):
Can you imagine?

Speaker 12 (23:58):
I think it's discover.

Speaker 9 (24:00):
What I'm thinking of Harrison Ford doing a kolonoscopy and
hearing this. I think it's that huge boulder rolling down
the cave is all right, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (24:12):
And John Williams was also talking about other things that
he's done, and he said that when I was writing
a theme song for Star Wars, I was writing a
love theme for Princess Leah and Luke Skywalker. He said,
I learned later they were brother and sister. So yeah,
he's like, it's kind of a weird thing, but what
are you gonna do? So this made me so upset.

(24:35):
A K pop singer, her name is Karina. She had
to actually apologize to her fans because they found out
she had a boyfriend. They were so upset. Some of
them have been put up a billboard, threatening to stop
buying her music and attending her shows. Some of them
parked a truck in front of the group's management agency
with electronic billboard that said, is the love given to

(24:56):
you by your fans not enough? Why did you betray us?

Speaker 9 (25:00):
And do you know that?

Speaker 7 (25:01):
She actually had to apologize and said, I will be
more mature and hard working in the future.

Speaker 12 (25:07):
Okay, everything about the story is crazy. What the hell
both sides.

Speaker 7 (25:10):
I understand being a fan, but you have to understand
people need to have their own lives and she's gonna.

Speaker 9 (25:15):
Fall in love. That's how they write songs about love
and heartbreak. It worked for Taylor's with We're So Crazy. Seriously, yeah,
that was every time Taylor's dating sowing. They don't give
her hell.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
They actually say good and new songs on.

Speaker 9 (25:27):
The way exactly, So why are they giving this?

Speaker 7 (25:29):
I don't know?

Speaker 12 (25:30):
Hell she did she break up with the boyfriend?

Speaker 7 (25:32):
I did not read that far into the article, but
I can go back and look. According to Forbes, Adam
Sandler and Margot Robbie are Hollywood's top paid actors of
twenty twenty three, but there's a significant difference in what
they're getting paid and since you know we're celebrating women
this month, I thought i'd tell you. So he cleaned
up with seventy three million and she walked away with
fifty nine millions. So that's a little bit of a difference, right,

(25:54):
we just stop that Busta rhymes. His blockbust A tour
has been canceled. Apparently it was supposed to start this Wednesday,
was supposed to go to San Francisco, Houston, bust In,
Las Vegas, so many other places. Live Nation released a
statement saying that the cancelation had happened and telling ticket
holders that no action is required. You're just going to
get a refund. So he hasn't issued a cancelation like

(26:15):
statement yet, so we'll see what he says. I don't
know if you remember the other day, but Cardi B
had to apologize for allegedly saying something about coach the
bagline you know, shoes bags, the one that Jennifer Lopez
now advertised, because they thought she said something negative in
a song where she was rapping like a coach bag baby,
this ain't what you want. But she shared on social

(26:37):
that she wasn't doing that. She was actually quoting from
another song anyway, she went out and bought a coach bag.

Speaker 9 (26:44):
Well that changes everything.

Speaker 7 (26:45):
This way she shows she's not a hater.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Guys.

Speaker 7 (26:48):
I'm just saying she posted it.

Speaker 12 (26:50):
Did you watch that video?

Speaker 5 (26:52):
No?

Speaker 7 (26:53):
The State of the Union addresses on tonight. We can
just tell you right now with the date of the

Speaker 20 (27:57):
Elvis Durant in the morning show.

Speaker 9 (28:01):
So I'm gonna tell you a story. It's kind of
a funny story. So the other day we were talking
about our favorite convenience store food. Danielle was going on
about woah wah and I'm a quick check soup guy.
Then people were calling in from from Iowa Come and Go,
which is a great T shirt to wear it.

Speaker 7 (28:22):
Tip parties were talking about BUCkies.

Speaker 9 (28:24):
You to explain the com and go concept to people. BUCkies.
We're talking about BUCkies, right right, frog Froggy, I love BUCkies. Yeah,
We'll say BUCkies is all upen down the East Coast.
I guess yeah. So we said, oh my god, you
know what we love it BUCkies. When we stop in
for some gases there pizza and I said, oh my god,
we love BUCkies pizza. So then we heard from a

(28:47):
gentleman who lives in our area who says, oh, I
own BUCkies Pizza. I went, well, what, you owned a
chain of convenience store.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
No, no, no, it's just a.

Speaker 9 (28:54):
Pizza pop up called BUCkies. I went, oh, not the
same BUCkies. So I went online. It did my sleuth work,
you know me, and I found them on Instagram. I
found Bucky's Pizza on Instagram and you can see for
the photos how incredible it tastes. It's this crunchy crust.

Speaker 7 (29:16):
When you when you took a bite before, did you
take a bite?

Speaker 9 (29:22):
That's a serious crust.

Speaker 14 (29:23):
You can hear it.

Speaker 7 (29:24):
And you know what My favorite part of this morning
so far is poor Scary. He is so jealous standing
behind you because he's on that diet and he cannot
have a piece of pizza.

Speaker 9 (29:33):
As soon as I'm sounds so threatening, limits you to
Dominic and Catherine from BUCkies. Hold on, can you turn Catherine.
We're gonna turn you on, Catherine. So we heard from you, Dominic,
and now your story. Even though we even though we
were talking about totally different BUCkies. I'm so glad that

(29:53):
we said the word BUCkies. That's all it took. Tell
everyone how you started doing this, because this is motivational.
I love it. It's gonna make me quit my job
here and go do something. Yeah.

Speaker 17 (30:03):
So I started BUCkies about seven months ago in June.
I had gotten laid off from my job in Corporate
America two weeks before my daughter was born, and I
just always kind of had the dream to start a
pizza business in some way, shape or form.

Speaker 9 (30:20):
Pizza in your life.

Speaker 17 (30:21):
I had like dabbled, you know, like I COVID hit
and you know, there was a sour dough renaissance and
I started making sour dough bread and then I was like,
you know, this would be really good on pizza. And
then it just kind of went from there and it
snowballed and here we are, like three and a half,
what is it four years later? So yeah, just kind
of escalated without doubt. I mean, if you, if you

(30:45):
what is your official account on Instagram, It's BUCkies. It's
Bucky's NJ Pizza on Instagram.

Speaker 9 (30:51):
Okay, so you said, okay, I'm going to buy an oven,
and I'm gonna buy a trailer and I'm going to
just drive around and just sell piecea So how did
you get You mastered your pizza, obviously, but how did
you find out where to go and how to sign
people up for your pizza?

Speaker 17 (31:06):
So last March, there was a brewery that opened down
the street from me, and I just kind of went
in there and I was like, hey, do you guys
mind if I sell pizza in your parking lot? And
they were like, you know, we serve beer, and breweries
in New Jersey can't serve food, so it's kind of
like a nice compliment. And we just started doing that,
and then before we knew it, we started making relationships

(31:28):
with other businesses. We do pop ups at a local
coffee shop in New Jersey about once a month. We
go to other breweries, and we do a bunch of
private parties and it's just really kind of like snowballed.
Influencers started coming out and trying the pizza and then
they would post about it. So it's been a really
wild ride. It's been a ton of fun.

Speaker 9 (31:48):
And one thing he said, by the way, Dominic said,
it's the most strenuous hard work I've ever done in
my life.

Speaker 17 (31:54):
Yeah, almost anything would be easier.

Speaker 9 (31:58):
You see what we're doing, Like what be easier than that?
But I mean, but that doesn't matter you to you obviously,
you're getting off on this and loving. Yeah, what's going
on with your lives.

Speaker 17 (32:07):
I'm like fully dedicated to it. It's like everybody thinks
that I'm nuts. They're like, you know, why wouldn't you
just go back to corporate America. You had a nice
comfortable job. But for me, like I for the first
time in my life, Like, I feel alive and I
love it.

Speaker 9 (32:23):
I just love it. Wow. So I'm just you know,
it's telling you in the hallway how many people are
driving to work right now? Going Oh my god, Yes,
I want that. I want to feel alive again. So Catherine,
what do you what do you do with Dominican puckies?

Speaker 15 (32:34):
I help with the social and I come to some
pop ups and I help out there.

Speaker 9 (32:38):
Is it your photography that I see? Yes, so that's
the thing. If it's tell me about the account name again?

Speaker 17 (32:45):
Is Bucky's NJ Pizza? So b U c k y
s NJ Pizza.

Speaker 9 (32:49):
Look at it now, Catherine, She's I mean I could
taste the pizza just by looking at it.

Speaker 17 (32:55):
Yeah, but they they don't let me post anything on
the Instagram.

Speaker 9 (32:59):
My god, I know that's what I'm saying. Wow, I
know what, Nate. I love that you have the reheating
instructions and this sentence. Should your piece of be in
need of a crunch restoration, please follow the reheating instructions.
My love, God, that's awesome. We all need a crunch restoration. Yeah,
I know I do. So you went out and bought
this oven, which is probably a lot of money. You

(33:20):
got this trailer, which obviously costs money, So how did
you get the money to put this together?

Speaker 17 (33:26):
A relative of ours was very nice and I also
cashed in on my severance and I just made it happen.
So we're at a point now where we've pretty much
maximized what we're capable of doing with that setup. So
we're looking to get into a brick and mortar and
expand the business. Continue to do pop ups and such
as well, because I like the experience that you get

(33:48):
doing that, So that'll kind of be hopefully the way
that we continue.

Speaker 9 (33:53):
And keep in mind seven months ago is when you
started this, yeah, last June, So years and years of
things have happened to you in seven months. Wow, And
with the help of Catherine of course, and other people
that you have working with you.

Speaker 17 (34:06):
I'd love to give a shout out to my wife
because I would not be able to do it without her.
She's amazing.

Speaker 9 (34:10):
Oh thank you, Jess, Good for you, Good for Jess.
Well how come she's what is she doing right now?

Speaker 17 (34:15):
She's at home with our baby.

Speaker 9 (34:18):
Makes a lot there you go, Really, what do you
think of the stories like this?

Speaker 12 (34:23):
I love a good pop up food anywhere, So I
think this is amazing. But I like it even more
that your you guys are feeling fulfilled leaving your corporate
job and doing something new because it's such a risk,
but it's paying off.

Speaker 17 (34:35):
Debatable, but I mean financially. Yeah, I think we'll sit there.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
I think you We were actually talking to Barbara corcran
yesterday about this and she said, you know, you've got
to give it a couple of years to get your
investment back. You know, the first year usually lose money.

Speaker 9 (34:49):
You know was here.

Speaker 7 (34:51):
Yeah, I know she'd be right. Well, actually she's always
looking to invest, but she'd give her a little call.

Speaker 9 (34:55):
There you go, big man, think big.

Speaker 17 (34:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (34:58):
I mean, but I just love you story. I love
how we accidentally met and then you know, I went
online and you know I turned down the lights and
closed the blinds because this pizza is porn. Man, that's
a compliment.

Speaker 12 (35:09):
B people are about to come stan peting down the
hallway now that we've met.

Speaker 7 (35:12):
I know, we've got a hurry up and we'll get
ours protective.

Speaker 9 (35:15):
So everyone's asking it's BUCkies and Jay Pizza. Jay is
in New Jersey.

Speaker 7 (35:19):
Can people like find you and say hey, we want
you for a party, we want you for a wedding,
stuff like that. Okay, that's cool.

They just you can DM us or email us. I
think our emails on our Instagram, but I think everyone
just does Instagram.

Speaker 9 (35:32):
Hey Deanna, Well, Danna put it up at Elvis Durand

I just love how we met and the fact that

and you, I mean, seriously, you have two days of
NonStop no sleep.

Speaker 17 (35:50):
Yeah, so I didn't sleep last night. I probably won't
sleep tonight as I get ready for a pop up tomorrow,
and then I have to do it again Saturday.

Scary as you know, he's been on his first quarter
diet and he can't have carbs or sugar yet. But
he eyeballed this pizza and said he may he may
have to have it just to kind of experience it.
I never cheat on doctor fat Loss.

Speaker 19 (39:22):
Ever, this is a nibble. I wanted to do a
little nibble just to see what I may be missing.
But then I said, you know what I got will power.
I can always go to one of their pop ups.

Speaker 9 (39:31):
So screw it. I'm so close to the end.

Speaker 7 (39:33):
I am close to the okay, so why don't you
take it home? The pizza will probably last a week
in the fridge.

Speaker 9 (39:39):
I don't know, man, I didn't eat it.

Speaker 12 (39:42):
I'm believing leftover.

Speaker 9 (39:44):
It's like the first piece of the wedding cake thing.
Eat it a year later.

Speaker 7 (39:47):
It's oh, it tastes awful.

Speaker 9 (39:52):
Good for you, Gosh, you look great, but don't eat

jent mind. So when you're ready to blowed up again,
he's ready for you. All right.

Speaker 12 (40:02):
This place makes it impossible to have abs impost. There's
no way it's ever going to happen.

Speaker 7 (40:08):
Yesterday there was like some crispy chicken french fry thing
that they brought in yesterday afternoon for lunch.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
But the great story here from our friend Dominic, is
you just become so detached from what you're doing for
a living every day you're not feeling passion for it,
not feeling that stir He went out and did something
about it. At a price. There's a price to pay,
but it looks like the payoff is going to be tremendous.

Speaker 12 (40:39):
If you're happy and feeling fulfilled. And he said, I
feel alive. That's amazing. Well, I mean that's payment in itself.

Speaker 13 (40:46):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (40:47):
There you have it, feeling alive at the end of
the day. Are you satisfied even though you may be
tired to the point where you have excess for eyes
right to pass out? I don't know exactly. Then, you
know what the pandemic this is one of the good
things that came out of that awful time. A lot
of people decided to detour around the mess they're living
in and find a new a new path, and it's doing.

Speaker 7 (41:12):
My gosh, that pizza is sod.

Speaker 6 (41:15):
Know.

Speaker 12 (41:16):
Do you think people get disgusted at hearing us eat
and make our smacking noise?

Speaker 13 (41:19):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (41:20):
Are you kidding me? My son would have a heart
attack right now. He cannot handle it. He has that
I forget what it's.

Speaker 9 (41:25):
Called meso meso Hornia me so Hornia.

Speaker 7 (41:31):
So he can't even go to a movie theater, I know, but.

Speaker 9 (41:33):
He'll love you a long time. People are eating popa scorns.

Speaker 7 (41:39):
If I know we have to go to the movies,
I have to book him the last seat on the
last road, next to nobody that he around him, because
if you eat popcorn, it's so loud. The movie theater
is so loud with people eating popcorn. People that have that,
it drives them crazy.

Speaker 9 (41:55):
I can see how. Look even I hear it. I mean,
I'm not like your son. Yeah, but when I people
smacking on food, I'm like, ooh yeah. And I think
I'm more sensitive to it now because of the stories
about people who have Mesopotamia. Or it could be because
you've been standing behind Scary for all those years. Scary
Scary choos and talks and do you know how many
times we've found food on my shoulder. It's like you

(42:17):
have a parrot.

Speaker 12 (42:17):
There are shards of like pepperoni and stuff all over
near the board. I'm like, what happened here? Did a
bird eat? No little Scary?

Speaker 9 (42:24):
While Scary's on his diet, Elvis's dry cleaning deal is
much lower. I know, it's crazy. Into the three things
we need to know. I need to learn more about misogyny.
You know what all of the abos right, what's going on?

Speaker 12 (42:40):
The US government is urging American citizens to leave Haiti
amid fears that the Haitian government could fall at any moment.

Speaker 5 (42:47):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (42:48):
Yeah, if you haven't been following what's going on over there.
This comes as gangs have caused systemic violence in the
country's capital of Porta Prince.

Speaker 7 (42:54):
In the past week.

Speaker 12 (42:55):
They have free thousands of prisoners and forced the closure
of Haiti's main airport. Threats of civil war and genocide
have been made by a key ganglier who is calling
on Prime Minister ariel Onrie to step down. Amria's currently
in Puerto Rico, where he's been trying to secure the
deployment of a multinational security force to combat the lawlessness
threatening to bring down the embattled government.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (43:16):
You know, for all of our Haitian listeners, I know
you're thinking about people at home, family members, this world. Man,
it's spenning in a in a weird circle.

Speaker 17 (43:26):
Yep, it is.

Speaker 9 (43:28):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (43:29):
Absolutely, Elon Musk. As we know who owns x, says
that the social media platform is actually considering getting rid
of showing how many likes and reposts a post gets.
He spoke at a conference yesterday and said that info
could clutter the content on the service. Since buying the company,
he added a feature allowing people to see how many
posts of you has received. Now he wants to walk
that back. And finally, Iowa women's basketball star Kaitlin Clark

(43:52):
has signed an exclusive, multi year deal with a major
trading card company. Panini America made the announcement this week,
saying that Can is the first multi year exclusive athlete
to sign with the company. It's the first deal of
its kind for a female athlete. Her first trading card
will honor the moment she passed Kelsey Plum to become
the all time leading scorer in NCAA women's basketball history.

Speaker 9 (44:14):
And those are your three things I want to talk about.
A great woman who sailed her way into the history books.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
Tell me.

Speaker 9 (44:18):
I'm sort of quoting the New York Post from Long
Island skipper Cole Brower. She is the first US woman
to sail solo around the world. Oh solo from Long Island.
She's reunited with her family drank some champagne from her
trophy after arriving in Spain Thursday morning, becoming the first

(44:40):
US woman to sail solo around the world. Her journey
span over one hundred and thirty days, is part of
the Global Solo Challenge twenty six thousand nautical miles. It
began in October off the coast of Wherever located near Spain,
and ended up in Spain. So for friends and family,
we have Cole Brower, our New York skipper from Long Island.

(45:03):
We congratulate you. How cool is that's congratulations?

Speaker 17 (45:06):

Speaker 17 (49:12):
I'm very crazy, super crazy.

Speaker 9 (49:14):
So what do you want to do?

Speaker 13 (49:15):
Pretend that you're calling for my Rocketime company telling them
that I listed him as my co signer. I haven't
paid in.

Speaker 18 (49:22):
A few months, and his credit is going to be
effected with the collections if he doesn't come up with
the money.

Speaker 9 (49:28):
And then we'll get the two of you guys on
the phone and he's going to go off on you. Yeah,
he's going to really say some horrible things to me.
Here we go, I'll start.

Speaker 22 (49:35):
Okay, I'm looking for mister Joseph Amerina her place speaking.

Speaker 14 (49:41):
Hi.

Speaker 22 (49:41):
This is a John Compero from Belchis Time Credit Services.
How are you doing today? Yeah, we have some outstanding charges.
Your daughter or your wife named Kimberly. Yeah, my daughter,
your daughter, she had listed you as a co signer.

Speaker 13 (49:55):
Here what's the balance that she is doue.

Speaker 22 (49:58):
Fifty dollars. So we have a charge for a Louis
Vuitton bag at one thousand, one hundred dollars, a Gucci
handbag here for one thousand, three hundred dollars on December
the eighth, and then on January sixth Jimmy chu seven
hundred dollars. Looks like some Manola Blannick shoes on January
the eighth at eight hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 13 (50:16):
I'll get in touch with her.

Speaker 9 (50:17):
Okay, who are you? My name is John Comperil.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Yeah you guys?

Speaker 13 (50:21):
Yeah, okay, fine, thank you. I'll overcompickt okay, he's gonna
flip out, do say Johnny, Hi, Mommy, justus me a message.

Speaker 9 (50:31):
What's going on?

Speaker 13 (50:32):
She had to call you right away, jim I just
got a call from a guy from Arktim. I have
one of those. Yeah, I you owed them thirty nine
hundred and fifty dollars. You bought a Louis Vuton for
a thousand dollars, a Gucci for a thousand dollars, Jimmy
shoe shoes for seven hundred dollars, and something Jimmy Chwo
not shoe, Honey, I could give a shit. Why are
you getting a call? They're calling me because they try

(50:54):
to find you because you're overdue on your payments. And
you put me down as a coach signer. Do you
know what a co signer means? It means I'm obligated
to your debt. And that's why they called me.

Speaker 9 (51:06):
I didn't realize that.

Speaker 13 (51:07):
Oh really, why when you're Carlos was screwed up? They
didn't call me?

Speaker 4 (51:11):
Yeah, but that's that's a car is a cardiff.

Speaker 13 (51:13):
It don't matter if it's a trash. Can you put
me down as a ghost signer? And you did it
without my permission, by the way, But I didn't think
that that you would ever be involved. What would make
you spend four thousand dollars? I had to have a
lot like big charges to pay them off in a
lump sum so I can get my credit back up.
You think that you improve your credit by spending four

(51:34):
thousand dollars? You can't pay back? Who told you that?
That sales guy? Kim? Your headed stuff and I need
you losing your mind? Is there something wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (51:46):
You know what?

Speaker 13 (51:47):
Kim? You're just a little too How about you take
all back.

Speaker 9 (51:53):
Well, I don't think I can do that because I
don't have receipts or anything.

Speaker 13 (51:56):
Kim, don't you dare give me this bullshit that there's
no receipts. You better talk to right now, Kim. I'm
ready to force the blood vessel. Do you think this
is funny? I can't even believe that you did this again,
And I want to know how to You got me
down as a coach signer, and if you sign my
name to that form, I'm gonna cut your heart out,

(52:16):
heart a lot.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Kim.

Speaker 13 (52:18):
You think I'm fitting around. You know you have never
seen me this angry that you put me in this
position again, and you're using my name as a co
signer on your credit card, which you ain't supposed to have. Now,
calm down. I just don't believe that you just consistently
go from one hold to another no, and you go
to sleep thinking it's gonna go away by the time
you wake up.

Speaker 22 (52:42):
John Campero again. I spoke with her and she seemed
a little lax about the entire situation.

Speaker 9 (52:49):
Did didn't she She didn't care. She was laughing in
the telephone at me, and I got it.

Speaker 13 (52:53):
But that doesn't mean that I'm paying him, and that
doesn't mean that you guys are gonna with my credit.

Speaker 9 (52:57):
We can do anything we want here.

Speaker 13 (52:58):
You ain't touching my credit.

Speaker 9 (53:00):
Do you understand, Well, she signed your name, sir.

Speaker 13 (53:01):
Clearly, you guys are not with my credit unless you
produce my signature on a document.

Speaker 9 (53:06):

Speaker 13 (53:08):
So you go check my credit.

your goodness, and hey, you never know. There's a million
different ways that this whole day could go. So I'm
just popping in to say.

Speaker 13 (57:48):
What do you call it?

Speaker 7 (57:49):
This coffee tastes like post it does tastes like crap.

Speaker 10 (57:55):
Hello, Dysfunctional Show. I got a producer of here screaming.

Speaker 13 (58:04):
In the corner.

Speaker 9 (58:04):
I got scary yelling because his eggs are what is.

Speaker 4 (58:09):
Le creatures ran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (58:12):
Welcome to scream Truck Thursday. You're wondering why is it?
Scream Truck Thursday wrote a song about it. Whant to
hear it? Here it goes, let's get into it. Uh.
Eric Murphy has been our friend of our show for many,
many years, many years, many years, and he is quite

(58:32):
the entrepreneurial whiz kid used to be in radio.

Speaker 7 (58:37):
Yeah, he's got the neck nuts.

Speaker 9 (58:38):
Listen, he's got neck nuts, neck nuts, little voice. Yeah,
when you talk, it's like when mom used to sit
on a washing machine. We never knew why. Wow, that's vibration. Anyway.
So anyway, you've known Eric for many years, uh, in
the music business. Then he went into this incredible promotional
business lack for a better terms, er acial marketing. Yeah.
Yeah that and then and then he decided one day

(59:02):
when this truck was coming down the street. Oh, he
was like, ugh, this has been around for over one
hundred years, this can be better. As a matter of fact,
we don't even want that anymore. We want something totally different.
So he stole the truck and shot the guy driving it.

Speaker 12 (59:22):
No, this is a good origin story. Oh my god.

Speaker 9 (59:26):
He did that like the sideways, the half turn on
the gun, and we popped him, wasted him, and decided
we need a better way to have some fun with
ice cream. Talk about scream truck.

Speaker 23 (59:38):
So scream truck is a on demand experiential ice cream truck.
It's kind of everything in my career built into a truck.
It is a really big kind of a FedEx ups
style truck, pink two big led screens on the on
the side, we can customize those. We play music, our
own custom music mixes, and we serve amazing ice cream.

Speaker 9 (01:00:00):
Amazing And when the seeing pulls up in front of
your house if it's your birthday, the digital screens that
they can rename all the sundays when including you and
your family and your best friend's names, and then you
hear our friend Lauren come out and go, hey, it's
the scream Truck. I mean, it's really an amazing experience.
If you live here in the New Jersey area, you've experienced,
especially if you live in west we where we started

(01:00:22):
in Westfield. Westfield.

Speaker 23 (01:00:23):
We're in Union County, Somerset, Morris and Essex.

Speaker 9 (01:00:28):
So if you go to scream truck dot com, no
matter where you're living in this world of ours, you
can say, hey, we're requesting scream Truck and we'll start
bringing them out there one day. We are going national
in the next twelve months.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Wow.

Speaker 23 (01:00:41):
So here's how it works. Actually, this is interesting to know.
So we take every town we service and we break
it up into these little micro neighborhoods and then we
text neighborhoods one at a time in the morning, letting
them know Scream Trucks coming to their house that day.
You reply, why for Yes, you reserve a stop at
your house, You pre order, prepay, and the truck comes later,

(01:01:01):
pulls up to your house, prepares everything fresh, delivers it
to you. Yeah, this is not a situation where you
chase the truck down the street.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:01:07):
No, no, no, So we're not playing a jingle. We're
not playing a jingle. They come, Oh my god, oh
he just hit little Johnny. Little Johnny was chasing the truck.
We don't do that.

Speaker 10 (01:01:17):
No.

Speaker 9 (01:01:17):
Now, the reason why I have to make a big
deal out of this is because, well, we're gonna have
the Elvis during morning show. Scream Truck coming out this
spring and summer. Yes, so cool in Daniel's backyard. We'll
get it don perfect. And I'll let you know that
I love this concept so much I decided to become
a partner with with Eric and Scream Truck Partners. Yes,

(01:01:38):
of course, always hit me up.

Speaker 7 (01:01:41):
You know, my husband's dream when in retirement is to
start a company like this.

Speaker 23 (01:01:44):
So I tell everyone the reason I started this company
is through my career I was always like, ugh, I'm
tired of doing this. I want to start a scream
truck or start an ice cream truck. And I ended
up making it happen.

Speaker 9 (01:01:56):
Awesome.

Speaker 12 (01:01:56):
There you go with the sme of the morning.

Speaker 9 (01:01:58):
It is the entreprene'll get off your ass.

Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
And do something.

Speaker 12 (01:02:01):
That what I was doing, and I followed.

Speaker 23 (01:02:03):
My dreams were people everybody should do it. You can
learn anything online. I didn't know anything about food and beverage,
food trucks, food truck design, all of that. I learned
it all online, took courses, talked to people like you
can do anything right now.

Speaker 9 (01:02:16):
Business was so great with the in the beginning one truck,
then two. Those are expensive trucks. So Eric decided, well
I'll just make my own. So now he manufactures his
own truck.

Speaker 15 (01:02:25):
Yeah, it's all.

Speaker 7 (01:02:26):
Going on, Eric, But that's good because then you have
to say and everything exactly, know exactly.

Speaker 9 (01:02:31):
So I'm from crime for New Jersey, said I had
scream truck just yesterday. Oh my god. Let mean you're
having a great day to day. Well, okay, so look
keep going. And I want to introduce Mia and Matt
as well. Yes, yeah, hey, Mia is our director of operations.
Mia was our first employee, so we worked out of
my driveway for the first five months, and Mia and

(01:02:51):
I were on the truck for five months together. She
has lots of stories.

Speaker 15 (01:02:56):
We definitely we had so much fun. It was funny
and I we would drive.

Speaker 21 (01:03:01):
We launched in Westfield, which is my hometown, and we're
driving around like six hours a day straight delivering ice cream.
And I look at Eric, I'm like, don't you ever
have to use the bathroom or take a break or
have a snack, And He's just we were so laser focused.

Speaker 15 (01:03:15):
We had so many deliveries to coordinate.

Speaker 9 (01:03:17):
Is there a bathroom on board?

Speaker 8 (01:03:19):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:03:19):
Oh my god, But I bet you if you go
to someone's house and they like you, there'll be night
that host.

Speaker 15 (01:03:23):
Yeah, you can use my bathroom.

Speaker 9 (01:03:24):
You could probably do that. Please don't do that. We
don't ask. We don't ask.

Speaker 12 (01:03:28):
Do you guys eat during the day.

Speaker 9 (01:03:30):
Well, it's a soft served truck, so it's chocolate and vanilla.
But how much do you can how much? Do not much? Actually, well, we.

Speaker 15 (01:03:37):
Have to understand the product. We taste that.

Speaker 9 (01:03:39):
Yeah, I don't as much as people would think we do. Yeah, Well,
I mean, okay, Matt, let's not sell it short. It's
not just chocolate vanilla. They have these shakes in these Sundays, right,
I mean like a billion different flavors on top. Yes, Matt,
tell her on what you do with the scream Truck.

Speaker 24 (01:03:55):
I am the chief executive of Brain Freezes, so I
evaluate the ice cream and make sure that no one
goes into a coma from having a sugar rice. So
you try everything I do, and my waistline will attribute
to that.

Speaker 9 (01:04:07):
I don't know, it seems fine to me. Great, well,
but you know, okay, my favorite Sunday has that Graham
cracker dust on tom. It has some marshmallow something going
on in there.

Speaker 15 (01:04:17):
It's like, that's the s'more please fresh posted marshmallow on top.

Speaker 9 (01:04:22):
So okay. So okay, we're now about to launch in
a whole new area in New Jersey. And by the way,
like I said, if you're in Indiana, no matter at California, whatever,
if you go to scream truck dot com, start requesting
and then sign up, click the sign up button. Sign up. Yeah,
we'll make a truck. We'll send it up anyway. So
you want to make the big announcement.

Speaker 23 (01:04:39):
Yes, so we are going to start in Bergen County
next month. So Spencer will be driving a truck.

Speaker 7 (01:04:46):
Yes, Spencer will be on a truck. He's so excited.

Speaker 23 (01:04:49):
We are so excited. We've had a lot of interests
from Bergen County. We have about a couple thousand people
already signed up for our reserved routes. But you can
sign up to the day at scream truck dot com.

Speaker 9 (01:04:57):
And how it works is when you know that you're
in the zone, you request the truck. Like I said,
you don't. You don't chase the truck down the street.
You request. It's all paid for, it's all done. They
just show up and you and your friends, your party,
You go to the truck and get your thing, and
it's done. It's such such a great concept. I love it.

Speaker 23 (01:05:13):
And we do private events. We did twenty two hundred
events last year across all of our trucks. We're about
to launch our fifteenth truck and it is going to
be on in Bergen County starting next month.

Speaker 9 (01:05:24):
So okay, so Danielle, we're gonna have a we can
announce when we're doing the big opening.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
Right we can?

Speaker 9 (01:05:29):
We can? Yeah? Oh so you Garden State Plaza right
there at four and seventeen.

Speaker 23 (01:05:33):
Uh yeah, we're going to do a huge Elvis Durand
in the morning show Free Scream Day from four to
seven March nineteenth, first day of Spring, stop by get
free ice cream and Danielle Daniel's gonna be the host.

Speaker 7 (01:05:45):
I will be there, the hostess with the mostest.

Speaker 9 (01:05:47):
We're gonna have ten trucks lined up.

Speaker 23 (01:05:50):
So if you're going down, if you're going down Route
seventeen south, on the right side, there's that like Chili's
in another I think on the border.

Speaker 7 (01:05:57):
Is that, yeah, on the board.

Speaker 9 (01:05:58):
I can't wait.

Speaker 23 (01:05:58):
Right after that, right after that, you'll see our ten
trucks lined up.

Speaker 9 (01:06:02):
Pull in get some free ice cream. So the official
announcer of Scream Truck is the official announcer of the
Elves Straight Morning Show. True Who, Good morning. What are
some of the things you've seen on Eric's script for
Scream Truck?

Speaker 19 (01:06:14):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (01:06:15):
Man, Well, we did one with Santa, because you guys
do this amazing interactive experience where Santa will come to
your house and hang out and everything, and it's just
so much fun and it's always like, hey, guys, we're
hanging out.

Speaker 12 (01:06:25):
Santa will be here in just a minute.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
It's just like you're hanging out with a friend. It's
a fun script every time.

Speaker 9 (01:06:30):
Can you imagine being the voice of scream trus so fun?
I love it.

Speaker 23 (01:06:33):
So she's talking about something really cool. We started doing
these experiences where we bring Santa to your house. Instead
of you going to the mall for the awkward Santa photo,
you bring Santa to your house on the truck. We
have a holiday menu, holiday music playing. It's awesome. We
had a really good time.

Speaker 7 (01:06:47):
With the last about Easter Bunny.

Speaker 9 (01:06:50):
Do you think Easter bunnyes is bay?

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (01:06:52):
People love the Easter Bunny.

Speaker 9 (01:06:55):
There's not a season for Easter Bunny. There's like a weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:06:58):
So if we can do the hall, you could do
the whole month of like March.

Speaker 9 (01:07:01):
Better idea. Would you pay for an event for the
Easter Bundy to come to your I was a yes.

Speaker 7 (01:07:07):
We used to have the Easter Bunny dressed up come
to our house every year when the kids were little.

Speaker 9 (01:07:11):
Yeah. I think the Tooth Fairy Day would be a
great day where you actually get a tooth in every
in every cone. Yes, ye bad idea. Okay, back to
the drawing board, you're not really talking about all the
different flavors in the fun Sundays and things, because people
need to hear that this is more than just yeah,
some soft serve rolling into town.

Speaker 23 (01:07:29):
Yeah, this is not like a typical ice cream truck
where you get prepackaged product. This is a fresh soft
served truck. We have a really good soft served ice cream.
By the way, fun fact, did you know that ice
cream is not ice cream unless it's ten percent milk
fat or higher. So McDonald's, Dairy Queen, all these companies
that have soft served, they don't call it ice cream.

(01:07:49):
They call it soft serve because they can't call it
ice cream.

Speaker 7 (01:07:52):
Oh, we learned something.

Speaker 9 (01:07:56):
The more you know.

Speaker 23 (01:07:57):
So my point is we have a premium ten percent
milk fat soft ser of ice cream, really good on
its own even it's really good. We have sprinkles from
a company called Fancy Sprinkles in Los Angeles, owned by
a woman named Lisa Stelly who used to be married
to Jack Osborne. She started a sprinkle company and they
make these amazing, really crispy, really cool mixes of sprinkles.

(01:08:19):
We do lots of different signature Sundays, We do seasonal items.
We're doing a Sunday right now with Space Dunk oreos.

Speaker 9 (01:08:27):
Have you seen those? Yes, with neon blue stuff in
the middle.

Speaker 23 (01:08:32):
They have two different cream. It's two different colors of
cream inside one of them has pop rocks in it.
So when you eat the oreo, you get the little sizzle.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
In your mind.

Speaker 15 (01:08:40):
Oh it's like a mouth explosion.

Speaker 9 (01:08:42):
Yeah, but god, that happened last weekend. Are you looking
for investors? Yes, if you just go to scream truck
dot com, it's all right there for it, all right there, absolutely,
So this is the excitement. So all the spring and summer,
especially this summer, we're gonna have the Elpustran morning shows
scream Truck out and I'm going to have our name
on it. But we're also going to video rolling because

(01:09:05):
we want to interview people and talk to them about
the importance of ice cream and ice cream makes everyone happy.
So this is really more of a happiness truck. It
so happens, it's great ice cream. Yeah. Our slogan as
we deliver happiness. There you go, can we can we
borrow that?

Speaker 12 (01:09:19):
Where's the happiness?

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
Mia?

Speaker 23 (01:09:20):
You're really good at like going off on like how
great the scream truck products are and go ahead.

Speaker 9 (01:09:26):
I want to hear you give this. Give the speed, yeah, hurt.

Speaker 15 (01:09:29):
The ice cream is velvety smooth. It's so delicious, it's
soft served.

Speaker 21 (01:09:33):
We have classic flavors vanilla and chocolate, but you can
turn them into Sunday's cups, build your own. We have
these pre designed specialty Sundays or we have specialty cones
that are made in Brooklyn from our friends at the Conery.
And these are all handmade, hand rolled, delicious cones so
good you could actually eat them on their own without

(01:09:53):
any ice cream, Like I would have a cup of
coffee and a few bites of a cone and it's
so good, like a dessert, not too sweet. We have
flavors like black vanilla, pink vanilla. We do dark chocolate
birthday cakes my favorite. It's like a fun fetti. And
our shakes are super popular. You can get them extra thick,

(01:10:14):
you can get them velvety smooth.

Speaker 23 (01:10:16):
You use the chocolate, you use the real chocolate. We actually, yes,
we do, but this is actually cooler. In the winter time.
We do hot chocolate and we actually take the ice
cream mix the chocolate mix and we steam it like
they would at Starbucks. So you're basically getting like a
hot ice cream, right, a hot ice hot, liquidy ice cream.

Speaker 9 (01:10:35):
So mea, this is not just just ice cream. This
is also okay, look, we've sold it. It's done. It's
right right down as a treat, Eric and are gonna
take everyone downstairs. We're gonna have some in a few minutes. Nice,
all right, Yes, hang on, we got to you gotta
chase it. We can't stop. We don't have parking from it.
But this is amazing. It's amazing. So we're gonna have
the trucks out. And people are already asking, beyond New Jersey,
when can we have the scream truck in our neighborhood again?

(01:10:57):
Go to scream truck dot com and request it.

Speaker 23 (01:11:00):
And by the way, the way we decide where we
go next is by how many people are signed up
in a specific town. So in Bergen County, I think
right now Ridgewood is the number one place we have
the most people signed up. But if you're in Bergen
County and you want to scream truck, get everyone to
sign up, and we go wherever people are signed up.
That's how we determine where we go next.

Speaker 9 (01:11:20):
So there you go. That makes sense the totally customizable
scream truck coming to your house, but you got to
sign up for it, so go to scream truck dot com. Yes,
scary as a question, can I make an appearance on
the scream truck because I would want to be out there.

Speaker 19 (01:11:33):
I've never served ice cream in my life, like the
soft serve and making the twists in the college.

Speaker 9 (01:11:38):
People do that for a want of talent fee. One
of our.

Speaker 23 (01:11:42):
Of our one of our investors is like eighty plus
years old, very very wealthy person, and he came on.
He used to be an ice cream man, ice cream
man he calls it, back when he was eighteen years
old on a Good Humor truck in like Asbury Park,
New Jersey. Loves just the experience of making cones and

(01:12:04):
serving ice cream. He's obsessed with it and he did
it for free.

Speaker 9 (01:12:07):
Scary.

Speaker 21 (01:12:08):
It's actually harder to make a cone than you would expect.
People come on, they're ready for training their first day
and they start dispensing the ice cream from the machine
and they're like.

Speaker 15 (01:12:16):
How do you guys do this?

Speaker 9 (01:12:17):
So I put them through their boot camp.

Speaker 15 (01:12:22):
Yeah, so we actually layer all of our ice cream.
So that's a good point.

Speaker 21 (01:12:26):
We put in a quick hit, we call it, and
we put in the ice cream first, and then we
layer in toppings, drizzles, and then another layer of ice cream.
So that way you got flavor texture in every bite.

Speaker 19 (01:12:37):
Some of those trucks they skip out and you just
get an empty exactly and then you crunch it.

Speaker 9 (01:12:41):
There's nothing into it.

Speaker 15 (01:12:42):
Yeah, I like this.

Speaker 23 (01:12:43):
I know you're scary, getting very imagined. March nineteenth in
your calendar, Garden State Plaza. We will be there, ten trucks,
four pm to seven pm.

Speaker 9 (01:12:53):
We'll all be there. I mean it made one of
the show. Who has to come? Please please show up.
Danielle will be the queen of the day. It's gonna
be great. Gandhi, please what what's scary? What you're telling
me to do?

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:13:04):
Froggy, Oh froggy, what's going on? Frog? I have a question.

Speaker 11 (01:13:06):
So I'm a loom of the obviously a long way
away in Florida? Are there franchises available for a scream truck?

Speaker 9 (01:13:11):
There are going to be Yes, you want? You want one?

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
I do.

Speaker 11 (01:13:15):
I would love to have a screen teo. I live
in a neighborhood that is it's like a master play
in neighborhood. It's a golf car community, dude, I'm telling you,
Scream Truck would clean up every single day in my neighborhood.

Speaker 9 (01:13:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:13:26):
No, we're definitely doing that. And we're getting our FDD together,
which is a franchise disclosure document, big, like thirty page document.

Speaker 9 (01:13:33):
You have to do way big, we know.

Speaker 23 (01:13:36):
But once that's complete, and once we have all of
our plans, we're going to start offering franchise. Oh well,
that's awesome.

Speaker 9 (01:13:42):
Again. I'm a partner with Eric on this, we all are,
and I just want to I got to put that
out there for legal reasons, pluse. I want I want
to know that I'm probably doing something that's respectable in life.

Speaker 23 (01:13:54):
Respectable and it makes people happy. You brought this up before.
We've had so many people unsolicited to us how happy
this makes them. On a regular day, having a terrible day,
Scream Truck comes, It's there for five minutes, and they
just have a completely different outlook the rest of the day.
It's a it's a it's way more than I expected.
People telling us their stories, almost like you go to

(01:14:15):
a bar and talk to a bartender. People are telling
us about their day, about what happened about something that's
happening in their life that's really stressful. Us being there
and us bringing that little burst of happiness for four minutes,
it just really makes people's day.

Speaker 9 (01:14:28):
God, it's a minute longer than sex with me to
at this point, it's people for it.

Speaker 13 (01:14:34):
We are.

Speaker 24 (01:14:34):
We also do free pup cups, and it's funny when
you're on the truck that you're driving by, the dogs
will know that we're there even before the people get there.
You see them get excited. Dogs just want to be
so crazy for a pup cup. They hear the word
pup cup and they go nuts.

Speaker 12 (01:14:49):
I want to do a pup cup a pup cup service.
Can I just only serve the pups?

Speaker 8 (01:14:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:14:53):
Absolutely, You'll be the pup the pup cup director. Hey,
I just want to talk about something that you know.
You may not have scream truck in your in your
area for another six months, So let's talk about just
the happiness of ice cream. Yes, right now? You actually
and this is I think we must have been drinking,
but I remember Eric was talking to me about that
spot in your brain when you hear the words ice cream,

(01:15:13):
when you see the ice cream, the dopamine starts pumping,
and these are these little dopamine surges in life is
what we're looking for for sure. And so it's a
business based on dopamine and the text and.

Speaker 23 (01:15:25):
The text that you get early in the day, you
get the dopamine, you're like, Ooh, scream Truck's coming later.
You can order with your kids online before the truck comes.
You have time to like figure it out that you
have something to look forward to all day. The kids
are like so excited waiting for scream truck all day.

Speaker 9 (01:15:38):
Something as simple as ice cream. I mean, just if
you know you're gonna meet for ice cream at five
this afternoon, Wow, that's something to have on the calendar
that's inexpensive and makes youre dopamine pump.

Speaker 7 (01:15:51):
And it's better than like waiting for the damn ice
cream truck. I remember when you know you're little, you're
like is he coming?

Speaker 9 (01:15:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:15:57):
Is he coming?

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
You don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:15:58):
But the fact that you know, oh, it's coming and
what time it's going to be there, that's like so cool.

Speaker 23 (01:16:02):
And moms love that because sometimes they don't want their
kids to have ice cream that day. So if they
don't answer the text They're just like, I'm not. I'm
saying no today, Garrett's Garrett's a customer. He needs to
give us his test on scream truck.

Speaker 25 (01:16:14):
He has to run in here.

Speaker 9 (01:16:15):
Well hold on, I'm saying I got Dean.

Speaker 10 (01:16:17):
Hi.

Speaker 9 (01:16:17):
Dinah. Then Nina, Nina, so you actually experienced us, You
actually experienced scream truck out in Morristown, New Jersey. How
was it?

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
It was amazing? Actually, so my job posted a summer barbecue,
so they I guess, had you guys come?

Speaker 16 (01:16:35):
And it was?

Speaker 7 (01:16:37):
It was awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:16:38):
The cones are really cool.

Speaker 12 (01:16:39):
It's beautiful as marks, the glitter, the animal crackers.

Speaker 9 (01:16:42):
It was it was awesome. Really, it's right to remember
the animal crackers. We got to bring those back. Well, Nina, Yeah,
it's kind of hard to describe, but we're doing our best.
I mean, it's unlike anything you've ever experienced as far
as ice cream in a truck. Right, We're coming back
to Morristown, so don't leave, all right, Oh no, don't worry,
I'll be there. Thank you. Nina. Hey, Garrett, yes, yeah,
your kids I mean when they know were your kid?

(01:17:03):
When my kids me like yes, I mean, so I've
been a customer like I was probably one of the
first customers. You know, when you hear like uh, like
Wendy's is test testing a specific burger in a in
a city like that was my town for for a
scream truck.

Speaker 26 (01:17:20):
They tested the the ice cream. You know, levels of
excitement in Westfield, New Jersey. So I was able to
I was ordering it was it was addictive. I was
ordering like almost once every other day.

Speaker 7 (01:17:32):
That's awesome.

Speaker 9 (01:17:33):
But yeah, the peanut butter and milkshake. Did you bring
it downstairs? Yeah? Downstairs. We're gonna take it.

Speaker 22 (01:17:37):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:17:37):
We've been going on and on. I'm gonna tell you,

Live from the Mercedes Benz interview lounge.

Speaker 9 (01:19:13):
You know it was about ten years ago, Danielle that
we met Dan Harris.

Speaker 7 (01:19:18):
I know it's crazy, and uh.

Speaker 9 (01:19:21):
He has this book which I I loved, called ten
Percent Happier. If you can just beak ten percent happier,
why go for more? Anyway, Dan's story is great. I
know you've told your story a thousand times where we're
going to have to tell it again.

Speaker 25 (01:19:35):
I'm happy to humiliate myself all over again. Good just
for your if you're listening, pleasure. If you fall short,
we'll humiliate you for you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (01:19:43):
Dan, of course you've seen him on Good Morning America nightline.
You just do not lie as well. And uh, you
were actually doing the news on Good Morning America one
morning and your life changed that day in a frightening
but great way.

Speaker 25 (01:19:57):
Well ultimately great. But yes, I was doing the news
and and I lost my mind. Basically, this was back
in two thousand and four. I was anchoring the news
updates on Good Morning America and I was in the
middle of reading a whole set of stories off of
the teleprompter. And this is super inconvenient. I found that
I could not breathe. My heart was racing, my lungs
seized up, my palms were sweaty, my thoughts were racing,

(01:20:21):
and the more I noticed that my body was in
mutiny mode, the more my mind was freaking out. And
that created a vicious cycle. And right in the middle
of this, I realized I had to quit and toss
it back to the main hosts of the show, who
were Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson. And it was totally humiliating.

Speaker 9 (01:20:41):
And it was live online, the biggest morning show in America.

Speaker 25 (01:20:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:20:45):
Other than that, we're talking about a hit of anxiety,
a hit of fright, and then you realize something about
yourself that moment. It started to discover a part of yourself.
I need to figure this out.

Speaker 25 (01:21:00):
Yeah, I mean, in the moment I realized I had
a panic attack, I lied to everybody because I didn't
want to admit that, and then I went to a
psychiatrist and I learned something even more embarrassing, which was
what caused the panic attack. I had spent a lot
of time after nine to eleven as a very ambitious
young correspondent in Iraq and Afghanistan and in Israel, the

(01:21:22):
West Bank and Gaza. Basically several years as a war correspondent,
and I had come home from any of these experiences
and gotten depressed. And I found there was a really
convenient fix for this cocaine. And turns out this is
a phenomenally stupid idea.

Speaker 9 (01:21:39):
It smells so good.

Speaker 25 (01:21:41):
Yeah, there are so many benefits in the moment. So yeah,
I'm just editing myself so I don't get canceled. Yeah,
so cocaine. And I was not high when I was
on the air. But when I went to this psychiatrist,
he asked me a bunch of questions to try to
figuregure out why did you lose your mind on television?

(01:22:01):
And one of the questions was do you do drugs?
And I kind of sheepishly said yes, and I don't
know if you've ever been to a shrink, But he
kind of leaned back in his chair and gave me
a look that communicated the following sentiment. Okay, a whole
mystery solved. And I was like, oh man, okay, So
the big change I made right there was I quit

(01:22:23):
doing drugs and I started seeing this shrink once or
twice a week for ten years. Wow, ten years.

Speaker 9 (01:22:30):
But then meditation came into your world.

Speaker 25 (01:22:33):
Then it became a useless hippie.

Speaker 4 (01:22:35):
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 9 (01:22:37):
Keep in mind, if you watch network TV, network News,
you know a lot of their journalists have assignments. The
particular assignments, and yours was spirituality and religion.

Speaker 25 (01:22:48):
Yes, so there's this huge anchorman back in the day
that Elvis and I will remember. But some of you, youngster, say, Danielle,
I don't know. You might be right on the bubble.
But there was a huge anchorman named Peter Jennings. Of course,
Peter was my boss and mentor. And I now, and
I speak to young people, I get this look that
I think Gandhi's given me right now, like, who are

(01:23:08):
you talking about a big deal?

Speaker 14 (01:23:10):
For sure?

Speaker 25 (01:23:11):
Yeah, okay, So he was a huge deal in thirty
million homes in an evening. And I had grown up
watching him, and I was terrified of him and also
idolized him. And he took me aside one day and said, you, Dan,
are going to start covering faith and spirituality. And I
was raised in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, and so.

Speaker 9 (01:23:29):
You had neither faith nor spirituality.

Speaker 25 (01:23:31):
No, I did have a bar mitzvah, but only for money.
So like I was not Masel. Yeah, it was in
a fine tradition.

Speaker 9 (01:23:40):
So in your in your journeys, you stumbled upon.

Speaker 25 (01:23:45):
Meditation. I started, you know, I had been living with
anxiety and stress and depression for most of my life,
and going to a therapist was helpful. But then I
started reading about the the benefits of meditation that could
help you, because I always considered meditation for people who

(01:24:06):
like live in a yurt, that are really into paturely
and smell like feet and wear little finger symbols.

Speaker 9 (01:24:11):
And user subscribe to Gone his entire family. Sorry, but
they have a massive.

Speaker 25 (01:24:17):
Y It's a nice yurt.

Speaker 9 (01:24:20):
I get it.

Speaker 25 (01:24:20):
That's not what I'm talking about. Yeah, exactly, glamorous yurting.

Speaker 8 (01:24:27):
No.

Speaker 25 (01:24:27):
So I had negative opinion of meditation, but then I
saw all the science that shows that I'm not a scientist,
just to be clear, but I'm married to one. She's
sitting right over there, and I have a lot of
respect for science. And the science shows that a little
bit of meditation can lower the release of stress hormones
in your brain, reduce your blood pressure, rewire key parts

(01:24:49):
of the brain that are associated with self compassion, associated
with a focus associated with stress, and so then I
saw that science and I started doing it and it
made a real difference for me.

Speaker 9 (01:25:01):
You saw it how quickly the difference it took.

Speaker 25 (01:25:05):
You know, it's funny with meditation, and I know you've
done it, and I'd be curious to hear your story
on this. It's not like going to the gym where
you the feedback is immediate. You're like your body is
saying this sucks. Stop doing this. So you like, you
know something's happening with meditation. You really have to have
some trust that you give it a shot for a
couple of weeks, and then you will start to see

(01:25:26):
some changes, like you start to get a little calmer,
You're less emotionally reactive. You notice like you have this
thought of, oh, I'm gonna I'm about to say something
that's going to ruin the next forty eight hours of
my marriage, or I'm gonna I'm gonna eat this sleeve
of oreos, and instead of just acting on it blindly,
you let it come and go.

Speaker 9 (01:25:46):
You let it go, And that is that is.

Speaker 25 (01:25:49):
Where the rubber hits the road. It's this ability to
not take your thoughts so seriously. That's that's the win,
and it just takes a minute. You got to kind
of do it every day or daily ish for a
little while, and then you start to see the benefits.

Speaker 9 (01:26:05):
Does that track? Yeah, you know. I started with this.
It was meditation for dummies kind of thing.

Speaker 25 (01:26:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:26:10):
I think it was a little book with not many pages,
because I don't like lots of pages in my books.
It was either the seven or the thirteen minute Meditation.
I forget the name of the book. So I'm like, okay,
let me try this garbage. See what happens. And I
started doing it every single day and I started to
get it, and I remember maybe a week or two
in it, I remember opening my eyes and going, okay,

(01:26:35):
I think I get this now, and it kicked me
upside the head. I got it, and I was I
was talking to Danielle about this earlier. She said, I
can't do meditation. Dan knows I can't do meditation because
I can't get It's like I'm doing anything. I can't
get thoughts out of my mind. And I'm like, well,
that's meditation. And I gave them the simple Okay, you're
standing on a bridge over a creek. You see a
leaf coming down the creek. It goes underneath you, and

(01:26:58):
then the leaf just floats away. And that's how you
have to treat This is how I see anyway, that's
how you treat these thoughts in your mind. You got
to you acknowledge them and let them go away. And
having thoughts about something during meditation doesn't mean you're a failure,
is it. Letting them go means you're doing some right thing.

Speaker 7 (01:27:14):
If you learn how to meditate, then you know how.
I think a lot of us go through this where
at night you're awake and everything from the day is
just in your head and all your anxieties and all
your thoughts, and sometimes with me it's oh, that fan
really sounds like it's about to fly off the ceiling
like things like that, Like, well, that helped to calm
those moments.

Speaker 25 (01:27:31):
Well, I think there are some people who are unfixable.
Just to say, you know, and we may I may
be talking to one you you know what, I was
prepared to give this lecture to scary, but.

Speaker 9 (01:27:45):
He's unfixable.

Speaker 4 (01:27:46):
Here we go.

Speaker 9 (01:27:49):
You know what, it's just meditation that scares people. They're like, ooh,
I don't know what that means. So therefore does it
mean like I have to be a Baptist. I mean,
is it religion and it really Isn't.

Speaker 25 (01:28:01):
Let me demystify it.

Speaker 9 (01:28:02):
Please do it because you know how to do it.

Speaker 25 (01:28:03):
It's totally secular. It's an exercise for your brain. You
don't have to join a group, you don't have to
believe in anything, and you can do it even if
you have a pre existing set of religious beliefs. That
it would be like adding jogging onto your baptism. You know,
it's or your Baptist faith. There's nothing spiritual quote unquote

(01:28:25):
about it, at least in the early stages. If you
want to get more serious, you could move into Buddhist
or Vedic meditation. But like mindfulness meditation, the kind of
meditation I teach, which has been studied in the labs extensively,
is thoroughly secular. To your question about seeing how wild
the mind is, Elvis Duran, your boss, I'm sad to say,

(01:28:45):
was absolutely correct. When you see that your mind is wild,
that is proof that you're doing it right, which is
so liberate. It should be so liberating for people to
hear this.

Speaker 7 (01:28:56):
Explain that by the way, Yeah, so I want my
mind to come not don't want to go crazy.

Speaker 9 (01:29:00):
You're thinking about it, and that's the beginning.

Speaker 25 (01:29:03):
Yes, it's the wanting to achieve a certain outcome. That
is the problem. In meditation. You're just learning to be
cool with whatever's there, and you have the thoughts can come.
The question isn't about changing the thoughts. The question is
changing how you are with those thoughts.

Speaker 7 (01:29:19):
Oh so instead of thinking about it constantly, it would
just come and go through like the feather and go
out the other show.

Speaker 25 (01:29:26):
Yes, you're seeing all of these crazy thoughts come. You're
planning a homicide, You're wondering how successful scuries, next weight
gain project is going to be, whatever it is. You're
watching side stars. You just you don't have a mic,
So I feel comfortable teasing you. There's a reason he
has no mic.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:29:44):
Yeah, it's for everybody's protection and including his own. So
in meditation, you're sitting. Generally you sit close your eyes,
try to focus on one thing. Usually it's the feeling
of your breath coming out in and out. If the
breath is makes you anxious, that that is true for
some people, they want to focus on something else. It
can just be the sensations of your body. Sitting, so

(01:30:05):
you're sitting comfortably. You've chosen one thing to focus on.
And the third and final, most important step is every
time you get distracted, which will happen a million times,
just start over and you need. When people see how
distractable they are, the voice in their head swoops in
and tells them a whole story about how I, Danielle,

(01:30:25):
am unfixable and can never meditate, et cetera, et cetera.
But in fact, the moment you wake up from distraction
and see how wild the mind is, that is success.
You should say great, patch yourself on the back, go
back to the breath or whatever you're focusing on, and
just do that over and over and over. That's like
a bicep curl for your brain, and it changes the brain.

(01:30:45):
This is what we see on the brain scans of meditators.
And the benefit is over time, the more familiar you
get with how wild your mind is, the less owned
you are by all of your crazy thoughts, and that
is huge.

Speaker 9 (01:31:00):
Gandhy, Yes, Gandhi's a meditator.

Speaker 4 (01:31:02):
I am.

Speaker 9 (01:31:03):
I don't know how many time do you do it?
A lot?

Speaker 1 (01:31:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:31:05):
I would say five times a week. It's important to me.
I also think just if you can't settle your mind,
or you feel like you can't settle your mind. At
least for me, I just focus on breathing because oxygen
to the body in the brain makes such a difference
for me, and I think for everybody. A lot of times,
when you find yourself panicking or in a tight situation
and you just take a deep breath in the middle
of that, you notice a difference. It resets you. So

(01:31:26):
for me meditating sometimes when I'm having a tough time
with it, I just focus on the breathing, and that's
the easy way to go.

Speaker 25 (01:31:32):
So you'll do deep breathing. Oh yeah in that case, Yeah,
So I mean this is beautiful.

Speaker 9 (01:31:36):
Absolutely.

Speaker 25 (01:31:37):
There's a ton of science to show that deep breathing,
systematic deep breathing can calm your nervous system. And I
often start my meditation sessions with a couple minutes of
deep breathing, so I'm a little bit more chill, and
then I start meditating. But there's still all these wild
thoughts that come up. And that's not a problem. That
is the practice. You're not trying to achieve some spaceall state.

(01:32:00):
And I think part we've been ill served by the
fact that they have these Buddhist statues outside of all
of the airport spas, and he looks like he's, you know,
floating off into the cosmos and like bulletproof bliss. But
that's not what the experience is. The experience is more
like exercise where you're being confronted with your neurosis and
learning to ride them instead of being owned by them.

Speaker 7 (01:32:21):
And even having done it as long as you have,
do you have moments where you can't concentrate fully on
meditating like your.

Speaker 25 (01:32:28):
Mind goes every time I meditate. I've just dropped the
expectation that I'm going to be able to concentrate that.
That's just not the that's I've learned that the point
is not to get somewhere, it's just to be with
whatever's here right now, because that just teaches you how
to move through life with some degree of calm, you know,

(01:32:50):
because there's so many things that happen in life that
we can't control. I'm not saying anything new here, but
how do you want to be with that stuff? Do
you want to be resisting it tight grasping onto it,
or do you want want to be supple and responding wisely?

Speaker 7 (01:33:03):
You know it makes so much sense.

Speaker 9 (01:33:06):
It does, it does, but it takes practice. Here you
are sitting in this room full of lights, full of
blinking buttons, and you have calls coming in, you have
a guest over here, you have us over here. Now
you just think about your breathing for a second. Can
you do it? Mm hmm yeah, Okay, I guess what
you're meditator. I mean, it's it's step one. Just focus

(01:33:30):
on it.

Speaker 7 (01:33:30):
There's the app that you have help.

Speaker 25 (01:33:32):
Yes, I think guided meditations absolutely help because what you
need to be is reminded that you're doing it right.
You just need to hear somebody like me tell you
over and over and over again, you're not screwing this up.
You're good. Actually, I started a website Dan Harris dot
com and there are a bunch of free meditations on there,
so you don't have to pay anything, and there's a
little quiz where you can find out what's the best

(01:33:53):
meditation style for you. So my goal is just to
make this as user friendly as possible, to take away
all your excuses, all your years, and just help you
do this thing because it will help, and.

Speaker 12 (01:34:04):
It's not I don't think it's something you can really
fail at even if you don't make your seven minutes
or your thirteen minutes, If you can do four, Danielle,
it's better than nothing. Maybe the next day you do five,
the next day.

Speaker 15 (01:34:15):
You do six.

Speaker 12 (01:34:15):
It is just like exercise. I think you shouldn't put
so much pressure on yourself.

Speaker 25 (01:34:19):
Could we agree that Scary could fail at it?

Speaker 12 (01:34:23):
I'm actually okay. Of all of us in the room,
I think Scary could be the most successful. Because he
said he has no inner dialogue.

Speaker 7 (01:34:30):
When he's not speaking, nothing is happening.

Speaker 9 (01:34:31):
I believe that is zero he is he looking at him,
zero thought at all. By the way, if you're just
turning us on, Dan Harris's here, we've been friends with
him for about ten years, and of course we're celebrating
the tenth anniversary of his best selling book called Ten
Percent Happier, which is a fantastic read.

Speaker 7 (01:34:46):
By the way, and I think last time you were here,
your your kid was just born. How old?

Speaker 25 (01:34:50):
Now he's nine nine and I live with an insult comic.
It's crazy. He is constantly uh like, he'll he'll have
some line criticizing me, and then I'll walk away and say.

Speaker 9 (01:35:05):
Savage life scenario.

Speaker 19 (01:35:09):
You're at work, someone says something that makes your blood
boil because you met with adversity. How do you get
in the moment and rein it in, like right there,
in that moment when you don't have time to go
off on your own and meditate, Like, how you get
the process started in the middle of an argument and
things are escalating.

Speaker 25 (01:35:26):
Great question. I'm surprised it came.

Speaker 9 (01:35:28):
From you, savage opening in the heat of If you're
in the heat of the moment, there are ways to
reel yourself back. But just let's just say this.

Speaker 25 (01:35:43):
You know, if somebody mugs you on the street, you
want to have done enough cardio in advance so that
the running away from the mugger is easier to do.
So daily practice arms you for life's inevitable ups and downs.
Having said that, the way it works for me when
I'm on my game, and I want to be clear,

(01:36:03):
you know, I wrote a book called ten Percent Happier.
I am not perfect, but when I'm on my game,
I'm having a conversation safe. On the rare occasion when
Bianca says something provocative to me, I will notice, Oh,
I'm really feeling angry. I can feel it in my chest.
My ears are buzzing. I'm having a starburst of like
reallycool thoughts or ideas that I might articulate, and then

(01:36:28):
I could just get curious about it, like what does
this feel like? It's going to come and go. The
half life of anger, if you don't mess with it,
is about a minute or two. But we re up
it compulsively, we can make it last for days. And
the difference between the amount of damage you can do
in two days of anger versus two minutes is incalculating.

Speaker 9 (01:36:48):
Wow.

Speaker 25 (01:36:49):
And so just it's about seeing what's happening, having enough
self awareness to see what's happening and let it go
and without acting on it, and so that you can
respond wisely to things instead of reacting blindly. That's the key.

Speaker 9 (01:37:04):
Dan Harris dot com, by the way, he said, there
are some guided meditations waiting for you, totally free, and
a questionnaire you can answer some questions kind of figure
out what path you may want to take. And you
said there's there's some event or something, there's something else
you want to talk about. Oh yeah, in March twenty eighth,
March twenty if you guys want to come, I would
love to have you I'll only charge you the highest
rate per right. That's so cool. It's at at Symphony

(01:37:29):
Space in New York City.

Speaker 25 (01:37:29):
I'm going to do I'm going to be doing a
live version of my podcast where I'm going to interview
Joseph Goldstein and Mark Epstein, are two of the greatest
meditation teachers alive right now in the West. And we're
going to have a band there and it's going to
be part.

Speaker 9 (01:37:42):
A meditation band.

Speaker 4 (01:37:43):
Yeah, just silent.

Speaker 9 (01:37:46):
I don't hear anything exactly.

Speaker 25 (01:37:47):
It's just going to be interpretive dance of music. You
don't hear of course, all the infos at Dan Harris
dot com. Yes, everything's there.

Speaker 9 (01:37:53):
My favorite thing, my favorite story in tim person Happier
then We'll let you go hold on is when you
actually went to a play and you have to be
totally silent for how long?

Speaker 25 (01:38:03):
Ten days?

Speaker 9 (01:38:04):
Ten days, and to read your moment by moment account
of this. Basically I got a little anxious, Yeah, because
you come from a world of words and expressing and
writing and painting pictures with words, and you had to
go into.

Speaker 25 (01:38:22):
A world of silence, as silent as the insight of
security's brain.

Speaker 12 (01:38:28):
What did you do today?

Speaker 9 (01:38:31):
I got me started. So for ten days, what did
you get out of silence for ten days?

Speaker 25 (01:38:39):
Okay, So it's not really the silence that is. People
always focus on the silence of a silent retreat, and
that is scary in advance, but it's not the most
prominent feature once you get there. The most prominent feature
once you get there, the thing that really has your
attention is that you're expected to meditate from five point

(01:38:59):
thirty in the morning all the way up until ten
o'clock at night, and it's just NonStop, you in your
own experience, in your own mind, in a way that
we never do this in our daily lives, and it's
just a it's an incredibly high dosage. And I found
for the first four or five days that I was miserable,
and on the fifth day, I was actually really ready

(01:39:21):
to leave. I was pushing hard, trying hard. I was
falling into the trap that we talked about earlier, Danielle,
where I was wanting a certain experience. I wanted to
feel calm, and I definitely did not feel calm. And
on the fifth day I went in and spoke to
one of the teachers, and I was like, I gotta
go I'm failing at this and she said, no, you're
just trying too hard. And it was like, whoo oh,

(01:39:43):
that's right, I'm just trying too hard. So I went
and did a meditation outside instead of being in the
room with everybody else, and I just kind of relaxed,
watch my breath every time I get distracted, start again,
not complicated, and boom. I had an experience for thirty
six hours that was the happiest of my life where
the volume of mental chatter, all of my racing, neurotic thoughts,

(01:40:06):
that volume went way down, and instead I was really
just in the present moment and hearing the birds and
smelling my food and feeling my body moved through space,
and that was accompanied by just a huge blast of serotonin.
It went away, because everything changes all the time, but
it gave me an enormous amount of faith that this

(01:40:27):
practice is not hippie nonsense. It really is doing something,
and that there are levels of our mind access that
we have access to, levels of happiness that most of
us don't normally achieve.

Speaker 9 (01:40:41):
Well, we have to find them, you know. It's something
as simple as walking down the street being aware of
things you pass. That's a formu meditation to me, rather
than thinking, oh my god, I have to get from
point A to point me. I got to get there
now because some people just you know where you're going.
You're going to get there physically, but just to look
over it, it's just flower over here. Oh my god,
there's a dog, and look at the dog of the

(01:41:02):
dog's ears. I mean, being aware of things that are
around you at all times. That is a foruma meditation.

Speaker 25 (01:41:08):
To me, it is a million percent. But what we're
trying to do here is counter program against our natural tendency,
which is to walk around a sleep We are sleepwalking.
We're stuck in this layer of story in our head
that thoughts about the past, thinking about the future. We're
stuck by it, in this NonStop conversation which if we

(01:41:31):
broadcast allowed, you'd be locked up. We are living in
this layer that is actually quite superficial. But there's so
much more on offer. That is just about tuning into
the raw data of your senses. Oh that's what that
dog's ear looks like. That's what the air feels like
on my face. This is what my legs feel like
as I'm moving through space. You're systematically training your mind

(01:41:53):
to wake up to the only time it ever is,
which is right now. And it's a beautiful practice. It's
just hard.

Speaker 9 (01:42:02):
As they say, you got to live a dog's life.
The dog is nowhere but in the present. A dog's
on thinking about a moment ago and not thinking about
the next moment. A dog is always thinking about that tree,
that squirrel, you that oh my god, there's food on
the ground. That dog is living in that moment. And
there's so much to learn from dogs. That's why we
love them.

Speaker 25 (01:42:22):
If you find yourself pooping on the rug, you should
reconsider it.

Speaker 9 (01:42:26):
I'm sorry, that's not good. I wish you were here
ten minutes earlier that my next book, ten minutes earlier.
Things I could change in my life. You'll be hearing
from my lawyers, So okay, Dan Harris dot com. Of
course the retreat, learn about it. There's a band, where's it?

Speaker 25 (01:42:43):
Symphony Symphony Space March twenty eighth. There's gonna be a band.
There's gonna be great meditation teachers. They're gonna be our
first attempt at merch. We've got to merch with the
words on it that I can't say on FCC regulator.

Speaker 9 (01:42:54):
Thank you effort. Now the podcast. People are texting it
about the podcast ten percent happier that podcast.

Speaker 25 (01:43:01):
I started that about eight or nine years ago as
a kind of afterthought after I wrote the book, and
I thought it would be a cute little whatever. Elvis
Durant came and graced me slash us as one of
our first guests, and it's It has totally swallowed my life.
It has become the center of my professional life. And
there's I realized there's so many people listen to the

Elvista ran in the Morning Show. Elvis Ter ran in
the Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (01:44:34):
What a busy day. We've talked about pizza, We've talked
about ice cream, We've talked about meditation. It's all about
food News Thursday. In my opinion, Hi Froggy, good morning.
You ready to go? I'm so ready.

Speaker 7 (01:44:47):
We all are food recording Froggy's news.

Speaker 9 (01:44:53):
Stupid. All right, what do you got, Froggy.

Speaker 11 (01:44:56):
So there's all kinds of weird food combinations that sometimes
we as consumers make up and the companies they pay attention.
For example, now there will be cheese it flavored ranch dressing.
Hidden Valley Ranch has announced ahead of the National Ranch Day,
which By the way, is this coming Sunday disgusting? It
will be on Walmart and Kroger shelves this month. They
say it is something fans came up with. They were

(01:45:17):
dipping cheese its into ranch dressing, so now they have
given us cheese it flavored ranch dressing. If you've dipped
grilled cheese into tomato soup in the past, oh yes,
you won't have to do that anymore either. If that's
your thing. Campbell's is doing a limited edition run of
grilled cheese flavored tomato soup. You want to try it,
check the soup oul now it's probably already there. Also,

(01:45:40):
you like hot dogs and you don't like meat, Well,
guess what, now, there are not hot dogs plant based meat.
It's a little different than a veggie dog. It's a
plant based meat hot dog made by Oscar Meyer and
their new spinoff company called the Not Companies, not Dogs.
They're called it not hot dog And there are also

(01:46:01):
not sausages.

Speaker 12 (01:46:02):
Not dogs that have been there.

Speaker 9 (01:46:03):
No dog sounds better. I mean, I really agree that
they missed the boat there. I agree.

Speaker 11 (01:46:08):
Office I Hop has introduced their latest pancake of the month,
just in time for girls Scout Cookie season. It is
girls count thin mint pancakes. It just sounds good, so
make sure you stop by I Hop's. If they're not pancakes,
we'll call it not Hop.

Speaker 9 (01:46:26):
Okay, these are pancakes. Okay. I Hop and Applebee's are
owned by the same company. Did you know that?

Speaker 2 (01:46:33):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:46:34):
No, The CEO says they're going to start creating dual
branded locations. There will be I Hop and Applebee's in
the same under the same roof, in one location that
makes sense, owned by the same company, there will now
be an opportunity to have it I Hop and apple
Bee's together. So if you want to get your little
thin mint pancakes, you can.

Speaker 9 (01:46:52):
Get them there.

Speaker 11 (01:46:53):
It is National Cereal Day, so I must throw it
to the most amazing serial correspondent on planet Earth, Scotty.

Speaker 9 (01:46:58):
Bee, because that's me. He's the only one. Wow.

Speaker 16 (01:47:00):
Yes, So there's three cereals I want to tell you about,
just in time for Save Patrick's Day. You can look
for the green box of Lucky Charms. It's in stores
now and it turns your milk green after what. It's delicious, though,
if you don't look at the milk and drink it,
it's still delicious.

Speaker 9 (01:47:14):
It looks like a LEPrecon peenium milk. Yes, yes, it's good.

Speaker 16 (01:47:17):
And for Women's History Month, Pebbles has brought back berry
pebbles permanently. It's called Berry Pebbles Women Who Rock and
the three Ladies of Pebbles are on the box and
that is also in stores now. Yeah, and one other
weird sounding thing, Cheerios has come out with veggie blends.
All right, so it's an apple strawberry cereal and they

(01:47:39):
have hidden spinach, carrots and sweet potatoes and it's one
of those things tastes I have a trot to yet.
We're trying it next week. But it's just it's one
of those things that you know, parents want to give
the kids and have hidden vegetables in.

Speaker 9 (01:47:50):
It, so you know, we'll see.

Speaker 16 (01:47:51):
But I think they should change the box so don't
say that it has it in it. Hide it from
the kids. The kid sees that they're not eating it.

Speaker 9 (01:47:57):
Is it true? You want to you don't want to
do cereal killers pot cast anymore? That's what we're hearing.

Speaker 2 (01:48:01):
Oh I do.

Speaker 9 (01:48:01):
I'm just having issues with Andrew. That's okay, all right, okay,
back to you. Here we go all right, let's let's
do the countdown. Oh my god, the countdown.

Speaker 11 (01:48:11):
These are the we're gonna do ten. These are the
top ten food turnoffs that you're doing while you're eating.
You may not know about, all right. Number ten, Licking
your fingers is a turnoff. Use a napkin. Number nine
criticizing the food after you've eaten every bit of it
really fast, like, oh that was terrible, Yeah, you ate

(01:48:33):
it all. Number eight licking your knife, Oh my god,
don't do that.

Speaker 12 (01:48:40):
That sounds very dangerous about.

Speaker 9 (01:48:43):
Lick my what.

Speaker 11 (01:48:49):
Eating something off somebody's plate without asking. That'll get you injured,
not just like bad. That's not a change. Number six.
Do not slurp your soup, okay. Number five, do not
pick your teeth at the table.

Speaker 9 (01:49:04):
Exactly.

Speaker 12 (01:49:05):
Sometimes you just have to.

Speaker 9 (01:49:06):
Though I know I'm guilty. I'm guilty.

Speaker 11 (01:49:08):
Lends on other people, all right. Number four spinning something
back out onto your plate.

Speaker 9 (01:49:14):
I've done that before, Oh my god.

Speaker 11 (01:49:17):
Number three talking with your mouthful scary, scary. Number two
chewing with your mouth wide ass open. And they say,
the number one thing you can do that's rude while
you're eating is being rude or mean or dismissive to
the server.

Speaker 9 (01:49:32):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:49:36):

(01:50:03):
has made national news and it does almost every year.
Right around Saint Patty's Day on Staten Island here in
New York City, there is the annual Saint Patrick's Parade
and for many many years, everyone's been allowed to march
in the Saint Patrick's Parade to celebrate all things Irish.
Unless you were a member of an LGBTQ group, you

(01:50:25):
were not allowed to march or show support for the
Rainbow flag or anything. If you did, you were asked
to leave.

Speaker 12 (01:50:32):
And it seems like a different country.

Speaker 9 (01:50:34):
It does. It does, And of course, you know what,
it's not only the ability to go out and march
with everyone else. Also the businesses along the parade route
they were like getting fed up with it. As well.
They decided let's let's don't even open on Saint Patrick's
on Saint Patrick's Day parade day. So, uh, you know,
Alex and I married. I've always wanted to be a

(01:50:55):
part of this parade and Alex and the Pride Center
of Staten Island have been petitioning every year to try
to get in the parade. Let's say it just a
march turned down every year. So it was decided, well,
let's have our own parade, an all inclusive parade. And
let me be very clear, this isn't a gay parade.
It's a parade that involves everyone, families, friends of families,

(01:51:18):
everyone in Irish who wants to or people who want
to celebrate Ireland. So on the phone is Nina Flores
from the Staten Island Bid the Forest Avenue Business Improvement District. Hi, Nina,
thanks for spending time with us this morning.

Speaker 14 (01:51:32):
Hi, good morning Elvis and the d Morning Zoo. I

Oh thank you obviously a longtime listener. Yeah, I love that. Okay,
So Nina the executive director of Staten Island Business Outreach
Center and the Forest Avenue Business Improvement District, do you
have a lot going on. So why is it important
for businesses along the parade route and of course the
citizens of Stett Island to have an all inclusive Saint

(01:51:57):
Patrick's Parade.

Speaker 14 (01:52:00):
Well, the Forest Avenue bid mission is to cultivate strong
bonds between local businesses and the community we serve. So
celebrating inclusivity and diversity is the heart of what we
stample here at the Forest Amubid. So this parade exemplifies
our commitments to forstering a sense of unity and belonging
within our community.

Speaker 9 (01:52:18):
Yeah, there you go, and it's just a kind of
good sense as well. Right. Yeah, And so Nina, when
we announced that we're actually going to have an all
inclusive parade on Saint Patrick's Day, on the day, what
did the businesses along Forest Avenue come back to you?
As far as with as far as feedback goes, we had.

Speaker 14 (01:52:41):
The businesses were very excited. They are one hundred percent supportive.
They love their community and they love theirs. They just
want it to be inclusive and invite everybody out. So
we just wanted this to be supportive and support all
of our community.

Speaker 9 (01:52:57):
You know, hell yeah, absolutely, hell yeah. Hell did the
end and it's gonna be a great day. It's gonna beautiful.
So look, you know, Forest Avenue Business Improvement District, of
course is a very very vital part of well doing
business and living on Staten Island, right, and so it's
so important to these businesses to have people on the
parade route that are open to including everyone to be

(01:53:19):
a part of this parade. And I'm congratulations, Nina. This
is really great, great news for all of those in
Staten Island and of course along the parade round on
Forest Avenue.
