I find the Kardashians to be brilliant.

Nope.

Straightening.

What?

You're a murderer.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (00:10):
I like to work out.

Nope.

Speaker 5 (00:11):
If you think I'm gay, raise your hand.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (00:14):
Can't lie when you smoke a lot of pot.

Speaker 6 (00:15):
Nope.

Speaker 5 (00:16):

Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.

Speaker 10 (00:24):
All right, wipe the eye boogers out of your eye sockets.

Speaker 5 (00:28):
It's time for another... One of these shows. Ready? Go.

Speaker 7 (00:33):
Another one of these shows.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
At the count of three, be entertaining. One, two, three, go. Anyway,
all right, all right, it's early. I need more coffee.
I'm not the only one, I'm sure.

Speaker 10 (00:44):
Hey, I had the craziest dream last night. It had
me running, running in the bed.

Speaker 11 (00:52):
Really?

Speaker 5 (00:53):
And I was running from something.

Speaker 8 (00:54):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
I woke up, have no clue what I was running from.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh, no.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
Something was chasing me. Don't start analyzing me. Well, in life,
you're trying to run away from problems. You need to
face them head on.

Speaker 12 (01:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
I don't know. I think it was some sort of
furry creature. Did you have a dream last night, Danielle?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
You know, I took a melatonin last night, and I
was out cold. It was fabulous. But I have those
dreams all the time where I'm falling. And then I
wake up and I'm like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh,
what happened?

Speaker 5 (01:19):
It feels like you did fall.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
What does that mean? What does it mean?

Speaker 5 (01:22):
I don't know. I don't know. What about you, Gondi?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Any dreams?

Speaker 7 (01:26):
Yeah, I had one of those dreams where I was
late for something and I kept telling myself, oh my God,
you need to move faster. I just couldn't do it.
And I kept becoming later.

Speaker 5 (01:33):
It was horrible.

Speaker 7 (01:34):
I hate those.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Those are the worst.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Frog, did you have a dream? I did.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
I took a unisom to go to sleep last night,
so I was really groggy. I dreamed that the grass
had not been mowed in so long it was growing
over the house, but I couldn't get out of.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
The bed to go mow it.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
It was growing over the house. Those are dad dreams.
What about you, Producer Sam?

Speaker 7 (01:54):
Yeah, I had a dream my husband was snoring. It
was crazy, and then it woke me up, so it
wasn't really a dream.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
It was really happening. Gandhi, you already gave me yours.
What about you, Scary? Well, mine's pretty vivid.

Speaker 12 (02:05):
It was about this local scrambled egg sandwich place in
Jersey City called Scram.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Of course it was. And they were giving out free sandwiches.

Speaker 12 (02:14):
And me and Sam and Andrew and Gandhi all ran
to get these free sandwiches.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
And there was no line.

Speaker 12 (02:20):
And it was just an amazing morning because we dream
about that place even in real life.

Speaker 7 (02:24):
And Scary ran in the dream.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
This is crazy. You ran?

Speaker 5 (02:26):
That was the giveaway.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
That was the giveaway. That's a dream.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
That's a dream. Anyway, well, you've got to dream.

Speaker 10 (02:35):
You've got to write them down, because like I said,
I know something was chasing me, and I knew what
it was for a minute, and now it's all gone.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Now I don't even remember if I was running in
my dream. Maybe I was walking. See, it's all going away.
It's fading away. What do you want to hear? A
little Kid Cudi, Steve Aoki?

Speaker 13 (02:49):
Yeah, let's do it.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
All right, Pursuit of Happiness. Welcome to the day. Crush
a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit.

Speaker 10 (02:56):
I love Steve Aoki. That's a good bit. Caking people.
It's a waste of cake. Let's get into the day.
Our first caller of the day is James.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Hello, James. How you doing? Hey, good morning, guys. Hello, ladies. Whoa.
You got some energy. I like that. Hey, James, already
had coffee? You sound like you're already caffeinated. I'm actually
on my second Monster Energy drink, so yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Oh, be careful, please.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
You're ready to mow the yard. So, James, you listen
to him. James is on his way to work on
his second Monster drink. Yo, what's up? Do you ever...
like we did in college, mix them with vodka on
Friday nights.

Speaker 7 (03:38):
Oh, people used to do the RBV, the Red Bull vodka.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
That was just lethal.

Speaker 7 (03:43):
I loved that.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
That used to be one of my favorites back in
the day.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Oh, God. I'm not a big vodka guy, so, you know,
I'm more of a whiskey drinker.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
All right.

Speaker 7 (03:51):
Yes, me too.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Give it a try. So what are you doing today, James?
What's it all about? Just working, going to work, two-hour drive. Wait,
you have a two-hour commute? I sure do.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
You're a dream. Yeah, why is that? I mean, I'm
not saying it's a bad thing, but... Oh, no, it's fine.
I actually, I take care of my mom. She's really
sick and she's blind.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
So I go every day, Monday through Friday to help
take care of her. James!

Speaker 5 (04:20):
You're the best guy in the world.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
Babe.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
I mean, it's your mom. I mean, it's my mom,
you know.

Speaker 10 (04:25):
And she's so lucky to have you as a great son.
Obviously you're the great son you are because she taught
you how to be a great son.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
She's a good mom.

Speaker 14 (04:35):
She is.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
She's the best. Well, you tell your mom we said hi, James.
We love you. I love you guys. You guys are
the best. Honestly, I've been listening to you since I've
been in high school. I'm in my 30s now. You
guys literally get me through my day every morning. Yeah,
we are the best.

Speaker 10 (04:51):
We can't help it. But I love that you're driving
two hours. That means we have you captive for two hours.
What do you have for our friend, James?

Speaker 5 (04:57):
I've got whatever James wants. James, do you want a
couple of hoodies? What do you need? A shirt?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I'll take a hoodie and a shirt.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Hoodies on the way. James, the best son in the world, everyone.

Speaker 8 (05:08):
Hey, James.

Speaker 12 (05:09):
Thank you, guys.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
I love you guys.

Speaker 14 (05:11):
You look bad.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
We love you, too.

Speaker 3 (05:12):

Speaker 9 (05:46):

Speaker 5 (05:56):
Interesting text from Matt. down in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Hello, Matt.
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 10 (06:02):
I can't wait to talk to you about your dad's
boat and fish and your problems with fish.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
Fish.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Terrible.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
So here's the thing. Matt's dad loves to fish. He's
been fishing since you were a little boy, probably.

Speaker 10 (06:19):
So his dad went out and got a new boat,
and he wants his son, Matt, to go out for
some father-son bonding time and go fishing.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
But you don't like fish, don't like touching them. I
don't even think you like to cook them or get
near them. What's your problem with fish, Matt?

Speaker 6 (06:33):
You know, I don't know if it's the feel of
them or what. I just have a phobia of them.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
I see when I get.

Speaker 6 (06:38):
Freaked out, it's weird.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Like, in a tank?

Speaker 7 (06:42):
You're like, oh, God, no.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
No, I guess not in a tank, but, like, I
feel kind of, actually, no, because I can't even touch them.
I can't touch the water. It's so dumb.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Well, that is a severe phobia of fish, obviously. But,
you know, there is something about fish. It's not like
it's a kitten. You know, it's not like it's underwater.
It's so different. I mean, it doesn't even come up
for air. I mean, and then you got to touch it.
So when I was a kid, we used to go
fishing and I would actually catch the fish. I would

(07:13):
scale them. I would fillet them. I did everything.

Speaker 10 (07:16):
You would never know that I would be that guy,
but it took me a while to get over that.
If you asked me to do that today, man, I
could not do that. They are slightly weird.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
You know, it's funny. If you look at me, I'm
six to 330 pounds, got a beard tattoos. You would
think I would do it, but I don't.

Speaker 8 (07:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
You do not profile as a fish hater. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (07:37):
But anyone in the room, do you guys ever go
fish when you were kids?

Speaker 5 (07:39):
I mean, yeah, I did. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
You know, here's also the worst part is when I
used to fish with my dad, like when I was younger,
if I caught a fish, I would just kind of
try to smack it on the ground and get off
the hook. Right. It was bad.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'm like you, but if I went fishing, I'm not
going to take it home to cook it and eat it.
I'm going to just say, hi, fishy, and then I'm
going to let him back out into the water.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
A lot of people do that.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I'm not cooking that crap and eating it.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
No way.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Well, you don't like fish anyway, no matter who cooks it.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
And I'm like, Matt, when I cook it, you got
to see the face I make. I can make a
really good salmon, but you got to see what I
go through to put it in the pan.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
It's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
I'm like, oh, bleh, bleh, bleh.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
Oh, I'll get my wife to put everything in the pan.
I'll season it off, but she'll put it in the
pan for me.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
All right.

Speaker 10 (08:25):
And a lot of times, you know, they leave the
head on. Oh, I love to order fish with a
head still on. And not because I need it. It's
because it really just disgusts everyone at the table. It's
my fun thing.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
How can you eat something that's looking at you?

Speaker 5 (08:36):
Because it's good.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
Yeah, people swear the head is the best part.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
You know what? Next time you eat a turkey sandwich,
next time you order a turkey sandwich, request to keep
the head on.

Speaker 6 (08:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
When I was a little boy, I remember I got
in a lot of trouble one time. My mom and
dad were both gone for the day. And I was
home during summertime. We had a little pond in our neighborhood.
I went over and did some fishing. I caught a
bunch of brim, which is like the trash fish, whatever.
So I put them on a hook. I took them
home and laid them all out on the step inside
the house. So when my mom got home, she could
see them. I was proud of what I caught. Dude,
they smelled the whole house up. We couldn't get rid

(09:08):
of the smell of rotten fish for over a week.
My mom and dad were so pissed. But I was
proud of what I caught. I caught so many fish.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
You're a big fisherman, aren't you? Hell no.

Speaker 7 (09:19):
Absolutely not. There was a birthday party in seventh grade
and people were fishing and I said, oh, let me
try this. And once I learned, one, you had to
put bait on a hook, ill, and then you had
to throw it in the water and then stab a
fish in the mouth for funsies just to throw it
back in. I was like, nope, I can't do this.
Never did it again.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
I'll throw you for a real curveball. Oh, God.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
I'll put the worm on the hook.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh, what?

Speaker 6 (09:42):
But I won't touch the fish.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
That pretty much defines where you stand in the fish world.

Speaker 7 (09:49):
I just started throwing all the bait into the water.
I was like, here, have it for free.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Well, look, all the best to you, Matt. You know,
there is some father-son bonding time on your dad's new boat.
You do respect that part.

Speaker 11 (10:00):
But.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Have you told your dad about how you feel about fish?

Speaker 6 (10:03):
Oh, he's known him my whole life, but I've always
just been with him because I just like spending time
with him.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
There you go. Crack a beer, hang out with your dad,
and even offer to put a worm on his hook.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Maybe wear some rubber gloves like Nate does when he eats.

Speaker 10 (10:15):
No, you're not going to help. A fish is a fish,
no matter what you're doing to your hands. Hey, best
of luck, Matt. After you do your weekend with your
dad on the boat, text us back and let us
know how it went, okay?

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Will do.

Speaker 6 (10:27):
Y'all have a good one. I appreciate talking to y'all.
I always love talking to y'all.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
It's fun. We love you. Thanks, Matt. Take it easy.
And now the horoscopes with producer Sam and who?

Speaker 7 (10:36):
Danielle, help me out.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Tom Hardy, Dan Marino, Fran Drescher, all celebrating a birthday today. Virgo,
the answer you've been overthinking is simpler than you are
making it.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Trust your first instinct.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Your day's a seven.

Speaker 15 (10:47):
Hey, Libra, a conversation with someone you're drawn to goes
better than you expected.

Speaker 7 (10:51):
And leaves you wanting more. Your day's a nine.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Hi, Scorpio. What you've been working on behind the scenes
is ready. Bring it out and let it speak for itself.
Your day's a eight.

Speaker 15 (10:59):
Sagittarius, someone needs more consistency from you than you've been giving.

Speaker 7 (11:02):
Decide if you can actually show up. Your day's a six.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Capricorn, every early morning and late night you put in
is paying dividends today.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Well learned.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Your day's a nine.

Speaker 15 (11:11):
Aquarius, a conversation with someone whose worldview is nothing like
yours leaves you genuinely energized.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Oh, that's nice.

Speaker 7 (11:17):
Your day's an eight.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Pisces, avoiding a problem does not make it smaller. It
just gives it more time to grow. Face it today.
Your day's a five.

Speaker 15 (11:25):
Ooh, Aries, a hasty decision from earlier in the week
is creating extra work now.

Speaker 7 (11:29):
Slow down before the next one. Your day's a six.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Hi, Taurus.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
What you have been quietly and patiently waiting for starts

Speaker 15 (11:38):
Gemini, a casual exchange turns into a genuine connection that
could open up some And finally, Leo, a creative urge
that has.

give it an hour. Your day's at 7, and those
are your Tuesday Morning Horoscopes.

Speaker 8 (11:49):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, hello, lady.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
Come on. Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.

Speaker 10 (12:06):
and sauces today.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Elvis Duran.

Speaker 9 (12:23):

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Before Andrew gets in here, why do you hate his
electric car?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Oh, I hate his car.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
Wait, hold on.

Speaker 12 (12:31):
Here he is.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Hi.

Speaker 14 (12:32):
Hi.

Speaker 7 (12:34):
Let me just tell you.

Speaker 8 (12:35):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
We're talking about your car. Oh, God. My car.

Speaker 7 (12:41):
He hates it, too.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (12:42):
I'm almost done with it. My lease is almost over.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
I'm so excited.

Speaker 7 (12:45):
I've been trying to get him to drive it into
the ocean. He will not do it.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
What's wrong with your electric car?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
You know.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 10 (12:51):
Let me ask Gandhi, because she seems to be very, very,
very upset at your car. What's wrong with his EV?

Speaker 7 (12:57):
It trapped us the other day.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
What?

Speaker 1 (12:59):
We had... We.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
And by we, I mean he... Drove somewhere and he
parallel parked. And then the person who came and parallel
parked behind him was very close. And he has one
of those cars. First of all, it's an electric car.
But it controls more than he controls. So it wouldn't
let us get out of the spot.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Oh, because it was too close.

Speaker 7 (13:16):
It kept slamming on the brakes and not letting us go.
We stayed in that.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Spot for how long?

Speaker 8 (13:20):
Well, at least 10 minutes, and it kept beeping, too,
so it would be like, beep, beep, beep, boom, beep, beep, beep, boom.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
You see, and you want me to get in one
of those whammo.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Waymo thingies.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
Those whammo cars are great. That is not happening.

Speaker 7 (13:35):
That's going to happen with me.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
To be fair, that's sort of the fright of getting
in these Waymo driverless cars.

Speaker 7 (13:42):
We experienced it.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Waymo.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
You're right. Because it has a mind of its own.

Speaker 8 (13:47):
Right.

Speaker 7 (13:48):
And he couldn't override it. We were all like, do
something about this. Because people in the car were getting
real stressed out. It had to be like a 37
point turn.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
It was crazy. It was wild.

Speaker 8 (13:57):
And then it was bad because the Holland Tunnel was
backed up, but it has front sensors. So if you're
getting close to a car, it also beeps.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
If anybody is around you, it beeps. So literally in
standstill traffic, you'd be listening to something. You'd be like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Speaker 8 (14:11):
And you couldn't listen to anything because it just kept
chirping and chiming and beeping.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
By the way, a lot of cars that are not
electric have these sensors as well.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Facts.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
But the thing is on these cars, it will stop you.

Speaker 8 (14:23):
Yeah. And she was stopping. I, I, I looked, my
head was like, but.

Speaker 7 (14:31):
His car, this is just one of the many things
that we want to drive his car into the ocean for.

Speaker 8 (14:35):
It broke down in my one way garage and a
tow truck could not fit into the garage.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
It had to be like carted up.

Speaker 8 (14:43):
It was bad. They had to do battery and everything.
So Froggy just got an EV.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yeah. And are you loving it so far? You've had
it for a week and a half, two weeks?

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, I've had it for two weeks. I haven't had
any of these issues with mine. It's obviously a different
one than what Andrew has.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Right.

Speaker 10 (14:56):
And you don't drive in the city like Andrew does.
If you're driving with all this traffic, Tampa's a little more.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
Open, right? Yeah, a little bit more open than that, yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
But, I mean, it self-drove me from Tampa to Miami,
and I didn't have a single issue with it.

Speaker 8 (15:09):
EVs are great in Florida.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
My parents have one down there. There's room to roam.

Speaker 8 (15:13):
Room to roam, and they charge everywhere, and it's fine. Here,
the battery shrinks in the winter, so you go from
having 300 miles to 200 miles. It's just a bunch
of issues.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
Because I have that issue, too. I have an electric
car as well.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
And wintertime, which is not a great time.

Speaker 8 (15:29):
Yeah, I will say the charging fees and everything... It
has been better than buying gas lately, so that was
a nice little benefit.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
I think if I had more of.

Speaker 8 (15:38):
A range, then I would have kept my EV for longer, but...
I just can't wait to get a hybrid.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
I don't think that you're saving any money because you
needed to get someone to come and tow the car.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
No, that was covered.

Speaker 8 (15:50):
That was covered under insurance.

Speaker 7 (15:52):
What kind of car is it?

Speaker 5 (15:54):
I'd rather not say.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Is it a good make?

Speaker 5 (15:58):
Yeah, it was a good car. The battery broke and
now they needed a new one.

Speaker 8 (16:04):
A lot of people.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
Swear by electric cars.

Speaker 8 (16:06):
And I would get one if I lived in a
warm state.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Maybe if you lived in a pasture.

Speaker 8 (16:10):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Only cows.

Speaker 8 (16:12):
Sure.

Speaker 7 (16:13):
He just wants a hybrid now, and he wants to
be more in control, because that was crazy. We were
kidnapped by this car.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
Look, I used to have the Prius hybrid.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
And everyone here made fun of me.

Speaker 11 (16:21):
Why?

Speaker 5 (16:21):
Why did you guys make fun of me? Well, because
it was powder blue.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
It was powder blue.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
It was a powder blue Prius. Oh.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
We got a hybrid when we rented, and we could
not figure out how to turn the car on. It
was so weird. We were like, how do you, and
where do you put the gas? We wanted to put
the gas. We couldn't figure it out. It's like, this
is stupid.

Speaker 8 (16:41):
I love it.

Speaker 7 (16:43):
We couldn't figure it out, so it is stupid.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
It is stupid.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
100% it's stupid.

Speaker 10 (16:49):
But it really isn't. There's a learning curve there. I
drove this big SUV. I had to drive it an
hour into the city, an hour home every day, and
I would have to fill up every two days. So
I went out and got the baby blue Prius. That
baby was on it.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Why did you get rid of it then?

Speaker 5 (17:06):
Well, and then I bought another one. I had another
Prius after that. And then for some reason I gave
up on it.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (17:12):
Hybrid's the way to go.

Speaker 8 (17:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
But I think all electric, I don't think we're ready
for that yet.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
Well, Andrew was not ready for it.

Speaker 8 (17:19):
I was an early adopter three years ago when there
were just a couple of charging spots.

Speaker 10 (17:22):
There's more now. Exactly. I'm speaking for these cities like this.
You go to Florida. I mean, every other car is electric.

Speaker 12 (17:32):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Every other car.

Speaker 7 (17:33):
Much better down there.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Or a golf cart.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
So far, you're enjoying your experience, Froggy? I love mine.
I would not go back. As of right now, I
have no desire to go back.

Speaker 8 (17:44):
Love that.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
Well, he wants to drive your car into the ocean.

Speaker 7 (17:48):
Oh, so bad. He does, too.

Speaker 8 (17:49):
Only one week left and then I'm getting a new car.
You're going to a hybrid. I'm 100 percent getting a hybrid.
I don't want an all gas car again. I would
love a plug in hybrid like I would try that
because for like 50 miles to go on a charge. Sure.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Why not?

Speaker 8 (18:02):
I could go back and forth to my parents on
a charge. They have a charger there.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Great.

Speaker 8 (18:06):
But like an all-electric one, and now. It's going to
be a second car. When I first got my electric car,
we were having fun. It was fun to drive. I
love how you can sneak up behind people because it
doesn't make any noise.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
It's like a go-kart. It's so fun.

Speaker 8 (18:20):
What are you trying to sneak up on people in
a car for?

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Strangers. Yeah. But you push a button, it'll make car noise.
It is like a digital car noise. You can make
a fart sound, too. Oh, my goodness. With the car sound,
did it make like a vroom, vroom?

Speaker 10 (18:34):
No, you can make it sound like a... like a
high performance sports car.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
No way. I really, yeah, you can, you can, it
can make fart noise. It's all just digital. Of course
it is.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
It's fake. Anyway.

Speaker 10 (18:46):
So we went to the mall. We're so excited. And
a friend of ours called and said, Hey, come meet
us at this pizza place. It's a little ways away
from your house, but come eat us. We're like, yes,
we got into the car and I, I had to
put it in to the, uh, the GPS. It's like, sorry,
you don't have enough electricity. Oh, your battery won't get
you there. And then home, At least it.

Speaker 7 (19:06):
Told you that. I feel like Andrew's car tried to
trick him. Yeah, you can do it.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
And this is back before I really knew how you
could stop and like plug it in. So I don't
want to plug it in. You know, I don't.

Speaker 8 (19:15):
I've been to more malls in the past three years
than I've ever had to go to.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Josh screenshots it. It's fine.

Speaker 8 (19:24):
I mean, but Josh and all my friends screenshot my
location and are like, there he is, the happy hiking
gal at the mall again. Hey, Paul, when you were
driving from Tampa to Miami, you had to stop and
you had to charge up.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
How long did it take at that charging station?

Speaker 4 (19:37):
I was just looking.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
I looked on the app. 12 minutes. Wow.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
It only takes 12 minutes?

Speaker 5 (19:43):
It's a supercharger, yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh, that's why.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
You got the hoity-toity car.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
It's a supercharger. It just does it. It's a supercharger. really,
really quick and gets you back on your way. There
you go. Life needs more superchargers. That's like a cup
of coffee, caffeine for your car. Love it. All right.
Let us know when you're ready for your hybrid. We'll
get you a good deal. Thank you so much. All right.
Looking forward to it.

Speaker 7 (20:08):
That is so stupid.

So Gandhi was talking about the fact that we need
five hobbies for a balanced life.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
Hobbies? Okay.

Speaker 10 (20:42):
Not just any five hobbies, but the five hobbies that
work in conjunction with each other to give you a
balanced life.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
Is that what this is?

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
I mean, I think that the term hobbies is sort
of loosely used here. It's really just things that you
need to have in your life. But if you use
them as hobbies, then it doesn't seem like it's a
daunting task, you know?

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Okay, well, which five hobbies, in your opinion, would give
us a balanced life?

Speaker 7 (21:05):
Okay, so allegedly the five are a hobby that keeps
you healthy. So take a walk, exercise, whatever it is.
If it's something that's getting you moving, getting swole like you, Nate,
I see that shirt busting open. Yes.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
That's a small shirt.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
One that keeps you healthy. One to stay creative. That
could be anything from writing in a journal every day
to making art, whatever it is, something that just exercises
your creative juices and gets them flowing. One, to connect
with others. So a lot of people are saying that
could be community service or just groups that you go
meet with, like your mom's golden age group, Danielle. That

(21:39):
stuff is really important, especially the older you get and
the more you lose contact with people. One to stay peaceful,
whether it's meditation, sitting at the beach, just something that
brings you calm, a little happiness and joy. And then
the last one is one to grow. And that one
can have anything to do with learning. And I think
if you put all five of those together and we
try to genuinely put those into practice every day, it

(22:01):
is a pretty fulfilling life.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Okay. So five hobbies. One to, let's see if I
get this right. One to keep you healthy. One to, uh,
Stay creative. One that connects you with others. One that
brings you peace.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
And finally, one that helps you grow.

Speaker 8 (22:19):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (22:20):
I'm worn out. I'm worn out. This is a lot
of stuff to do.

Speaker 7 (22:24):
Just thinking about it, you're worn out.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
I only have the one.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
Which one do you have?

Speaker 5 (22:28):
Lifting. Lifting weights. That's it. I don't have any of
the creative or social or. I need some help.

Speaker 12 (22:34):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (22:35):
Well, when you're lifting weights at the gym, are you
talking to anybody or dealing with anybody?

Speaker 6 (22:38):
F that.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
Don't talk to me. See, now I feel.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Like my health and my peace are my walk because
they do both for me.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
Great. Can it be the same thing?

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Sure.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
Why not?

Speaker 8 (22:48):
Of course.

Speaker 12 (22:48):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
Roll them in. So now it's four hobbies. See, now
you're reducing your hobbies. Yeah, Frog.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
I've got one that does a bunch, like playing golf.
Playing golf does a lot of those things for me,
but then it also pisses me off. So it adds
another feature.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
I'm not sure how that one plays into it.

Speaker 11 (23:03):
Can this job be the social thing?

Speaker 7 (23:09):
I think it could be, but I think you need
more than just what you.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Have at work. I don't know. I get a lot
out of you guys.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Do you? Well, I know.

Speaker 10 (23:15):
But if you, as Gandhi was suggesting, you go out
and do some public service, you work with people outside
this circle, I think that gives you a whole new
perspective on.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
Being connected with people. I would have to quit this job.

Speaker 11 (23:29):
Because I'm kind of introverted, and you guys run down
my battery every day.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
You are so full of it. You are not introverted.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
We go out, and all you do is lean into
other people's conversations.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
Only on weekends. Oh, please. Because that's when I recharge. Okay,
moving over. Let's move to Scary. Scary, what are your
thoughts about all these five? I'm screwed. A hobby to
keep healthy. One to be creative.

Speaker 10 (23:55):
Okay, let's start with healthy. You do work out. You
go to the gym. So that one, if you call
it a hobby, I call it a necessity. Whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
I think that's okay.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
I wouldn't do this voluntarily. I think a hobby makes
it less heavy. Okay, let me bring you to a
screeching halt. How about one to stay creative? What do
you do that uses creativity? I don't do anything. I'm
in trouble.

Speaker 7 (24:19):
Wait, what about your podcasts?

Speaker 5 (24:21):
Okay, yeah. So I have my Brooklyn Boys podcast.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Okay.

Speaker 12 (24:24):
My Speaking Volumes podcast. That's a creative outlet for me,
per se. But that's, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (24:32):
That's debatable. I don't think I have anything else. I
think I'm done after that. Okay, let's go down the
list now. Hold on now. What about connecting with others?

Speaker 12 (24:40):
Okay, can going to a bar or socializing or going
out for dinner be connecting with others?

Speaker 7 (24:46):
I think so. I think you're very social, and I
think you connect with people a lot.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Okay, brunching. Brunching is a hobby.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
He loves a brunch.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
I love a good brunch. Okay, question.

Speaker 10 (24:54):
So connecting with others, would being with your friends and
your circle of friends a lot or constantly, would that
be the same as connecting with people?

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
Yeah, of course. For sure.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
But if you're somebody who's not that social and you're
looking for a way to connect with people... then there
are groups out there that can help you do that
and also bring you a little fulfillment in other ways.

Speaker 8 (25:14):
Scary.

Speaker 5 (25:14):
What about your way to stay peaceful? What are you
doing there? Peaceful?

Speaker 12 (25:20):
I live alone and I go home and I lay
in my bed and I close my eyes.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
Okay. I pull the covers up. He also sleeps while
he drives. And he sleeps while he speaks sometimes. I'm very,
you know, I am peaceful in my own space. I
am at peace in my own space.

Speaker 7 (25:35):
I mean, he says he has no inner dialogue. He
doesn't replay anything from the day or like go back
through it. He's probably at peace all day.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
That's remarkable. And finally, a hobby or activity that helps
you grow as a person. I think that's the one
I'm really missing because I feel like I'm still a
man child. It used to be food. You would eat
a lot and you would grow.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (25:57):
The thing is, you are very, very, very into food
and restaurants and things. So your knowledge base of food
is growing.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
I don't know. I'm trying to help you here. Or
maybe expanding my travel repertoire.

Speaker 12 (26:12):
Can I grow as a person by visiting new places?

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Well, it depends on what you do when you go there.
So if you're just going to.

Speaker 10 (26:20):
You need to go learn the culture in all these
places you're visiting. And you can't just go to the
pool and have them bring sparklers out on bottles.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
That's where I fall short.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Popping bottles.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
That's not growing.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Popping bottles, that's talent.

Speaker 8 (26:34):
Well, then maybe if some of these things aren't hitting
with you, aren't landing with you, me included, maybe that's
worth investigation.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
Maybe that's worth movement. That's worth changing things.

Speaker 7 (26:45):
Do you think you hit all five?

Speaker 5 (26:47):
No, not at all. Which ones are you missing? I
need to get back to working out. I'm trying to
get into it on my own without my trainer, but
my trainer's back and ready to go.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Nice.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
Creativity, no. Okay. Connecting with others, I connect with less
people now than ever in my life.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Okay. Staying peaceful. I have ways of staying peaceful and growing.
I'm not growing. I've got work to do.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Maybe not connecting with people is peaceful.

Speaker 7 (27:16):
It could be. But I would also and I mean,
it's your life. So you only you really know how
you feel about it. But I would say that your
creativity and you growing. I think you are doing things
in both of those lanes right now. You might not
be talking about them a lot, but you're doing new things.
And I think that that would be creative stuff in
ways that you're growing. No?

Speaker 5 (27:37):
I wish I knew what you're talking about.

Speaker 7 (27:38):
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 6 (27:41):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (27:42):
Can I say it?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
What is it? What am I doing?

Speaker 7 (27:45):
What about like podrophenia?

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Oh, that.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
Well, that's, yeah, slowly getting into that.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Right.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
That's kind of interesting.

Speaker 7 (27:51):
And you've been talking about a podcast that you want
to do. You have an idea of exactly what it
is going to be. So I think that there's opportunity
there for you to do these things.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
I'm studying that.

Speaker 12 (28:01):
I'm learning.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (28:02):
Learning and creating.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
What about you, Froggy? How are you doing? No, I
said I have golf, but I do that a lot.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
I enjoy it. There are things about it that really
bring me. It's a social scene. I get to meet
people that way. It does help me grow because it
teaches me different things when I'm playing well. I try
to handle it a little better and not get so
angry and throw clubs.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
As you've witnessed. Yes, I have.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
So, I mean, there are many things about it, but
at the same time, I'm living in a new place
now and I'm trying to find new things to do
here and get outside of a comfort zone and learn
different areas here. So there's a lot of different things
that I could do that I wish I were better at.
And so it's now that I'm more aware of it,
I can be like, you know what, maybe I should
do that and get out of a comfort zone.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
And Danielle, you love finding your peace when you're going
for a walk. What about creativity? You have your podcast.

Speaker 14 (28:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
You're always on Broadway. You're always seeing Broadway shows. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I feel like when I go see a Broadway show
and I learn something new, I feel like I grow sometimes.
I connect to others.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
It's creative.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
I feel like that gives me a lot of things there.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Okay. Here's where I'm trying to challenge myself with this list.
I think this list is fantastic that you brought into
us today, Gandhi.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
Good.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
One thing.

Speaker 10 (29:08):
As far as activities and hobbies go, you need one
to keep you healthy, one to stay creative or be
more creative, one to connect with others, one to stay
peaceful and find peace, and one to grow as a
person and an intellect, whatever. I think I want to
push the button and say, well, whatever I'm doing already
doesn't count. I need to add these five more. We

(29:32):
need to layer more in all five of these categories.
How's that for a challenge for everyone?

Speaker 5 (29:36):
Now I'm screwed.

Speaker 7 (29:37):
That is a lot.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
No, you're not. We know it.

Speaker 10 (29:40):
Just in thinking about what you possibly could do. At
least it could open your mind to maybe doing it.

Speaker 5 (29:45):
Maybe the possibility. Right?

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Absolutely.

Speaker 7 (29:47):
And it helps you get out of your old routine,
which we talk about all the time when it comes
to brain health and staying young and active. It's good
to break that routine. So if you need to start
anew with five fresh things, give it a shot.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
So are we going to monitor each other with this
and keep up with each other's goals?

Speaker 1 (30:04):
I got to be honest.

Speaker 7 (30:05):
I don't think this is a room of accountable people.

Speaker 6 (30:07):
No.

Speaker 7 (30:10):
People in here get real mad if you try.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
To hold them accountable. Yeah, when you hold them accountable,
you're a bully.

Speaker 14 (30:15):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
Well, you know, I think that counts for all of us.
All of us.

Speaker 10 (30:19):
All right, so, okay, we don't have to find each
other accountable. So here's a concept, finding yourself accountable.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Important.

Speaker 7 (30:25):
That's important.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
No, I like the shaming. I think the shaming would
definitely help me.

Speaker 7 (30:29):
Nate, you wrestled Andrew to the ground for a candy bar.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
I did, yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (30:35):
And we're ashamed of you, so there's that. Elvis, I
tried to keep you from eating something and you finger
gunned me.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
I did. I did the point to shoot and sideways.
Give me the damn cracker. It was a cracker, I think. Yeah,
it was. All right. Well, there you go. Something to
think about.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Ever wondered what we look like? Do you think I
look in bread?

Speaker 12 (30:57):
I do.

Speaker 9 (30:57):
Follow us on Instagram at Elvis Duran Show.

Speaker 1 (31:01):

Speaker 10 (31:03):
and sauces today.

Speaker 8 (31:19):
I tell you what, when you're in my car and
I'm driving, it's not a democracy.

Speaker 5 (31:27):
I'm driving.

Speaker 8 (31:28):
I don't want you reaching over and honking my horn.
I don't want you turning the radio up and down.
Everything is under my control. Is it too hot for you?

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Tell me. I will adjust the temperature, okay? I'm in
charge of my car when I'm driving.

Speaker 10 (31:41):
And I need to know that I'm in charge because, well,
I'm driving and your safety depends on it. I need
to focus.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
I don't need people acting up in my car, screaming,
singing out loud, rolling down windows, throwing trash out the windows.
But anyway, so Garrett was nice enough to drive Gandhi
out of the city after work one day. And she
does exactly what would drive me ape crap crazy. Tell
everyone what she did.

Speaker 16 (32:08):
So a car in front of us was trying to
find a parking spot, and they were having a little
bit of trouble. And at one point, I decided to
get around the car, but my window was down. So
Gandhi decided to let her feelings know to the other
driver that, hey, what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (32:23):
Wait, she screamed out your window at the driver? Yes,
I did. Across, yeah. Gandhi.

Speaker 8 (32:29):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
Okay, so what happened?

Speaker 7 (32:31):
I was defending Garrett. Okay, this crazy person.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
That's awful.

Speaker 7 (32:35):
Was like ping-ponging, bumper bowling side to side in front
of him, like almost hit him repeatedly. And these two girls,
probably high as a kite, they looked out of it,
not paying attention to anything, didn't even realize that there
was a car behind them that they almost hit numerous times.
So I just had to let them know what the
hell is going on. I was like, bro, what are
you doing? That was it. That's all I said. And

(32:56):
then I think Garrett maybe had a bit of a
heart attack internally and rolled up his window. And he
was concerned because they couldn't find the spot that when
they turned, maybe they were going to have a confrontation
with us, which I was not worried about. But Garrett
was worried.

Speaker 5 (33:09):
Of course. And this happens in bars all the time,
by the way.

Speaker 10 (33:12):
A woman will start a fight at the bar and
then expect her guy to defend her.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
No, no.

Speaker 7 (33:17):
If I start some ish from inside your car, I'll
be the one that jumps on that grenade if it happens.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
Yeah, but it doesn't work that way. It's Garrett's car.
I was defending Garrett. It's his car. That's what Briggs
was doing.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
I was like, what.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
Happens if they come?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Come back and key his car or something. That's Garrett's car.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Garrett, Garrett, Garrett. It's your car. You're in charge. You're
like me. You don't need that. You just want to
get from point A to point B with no incident
at all. Yeah, no, as safe as possible.

Speaker 16 (33:44):
So I tried to creep up to the light as
close as possible to the next car so I didn't
have to be next to this person. Luckily, a truck
was in front of us. But I was just like,
all right, if this is a dude, this is going
to be on me.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
Gandhi, see what you did?

Speaker 8 (34:00):
I saw.

Speaker 7 (34:00):
I saw that they were girls and Garrett looks at
me and said, if they pull up next to us,
do not stare at them. And I was like, why?
These idiots driving around like idiots. It was just ridiculous.
But I understand all the guys get real nervous if
you yell something from inside their car.

Speaker 10 (34:15):
Hold on, hold on. It really, okay, agree or disagree.
It really wasn't your fight. It was Garrett's if he
wanted it. Because he was driving. He was the one
that had to deal with it. You're just a bystander
wanting to scream at people.

Speaker 7 (34:27):
Sure, in retrospect, sure. But in the moment, I was like,
not on my watch. I'm going to let them know
they're driving like idiots and almost hit Garrett four times.

Speaker 12 (34:35):
This is not the first time she's done this. She's
done this repeatedly in my car to the point where
I had to roll up the windows and lock them,
put the childproof locks on them because she was screaming
at people.

Speaker 7 (34:46):
Someone kicked a pigeon.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
Listen, that was none of my business.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
I'm very torn on this because I see both sides.
I see Gandhi's side where I would want to do
the same thing, but then I see Gary and Skiri's
side where I'm like, please don't do that when I'm driving.

Speaker 16 (35:04):
So, Frog, you're telling me you would come into the
driver's seat. If you're sitting in the passenger seat, you
would literally get into the driver's seat as I'm driving
to yell at the person on the other side.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
I did this.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
We were pulling up to a hotel and it was raining.
And somebody had taken up two spots. And when they
came out to their car, I said, hey, next time,
why don't you just take both spots? That was in
the passenger seat. And, of course, they wanted to confront
the driver, not me.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
Exactly. They always want to confront the driver. We got
to back up. But wait, they kicked a pigeon. Yes.

Speaker 7 (35:36):
And Scary didn't even care.

Speaker 5 (35:37):
No, I'm not going to care. I'm just, what are
you going to do? You're going to make a citizen's arrest?

Speaker 7 (35:41):
I would have. But your child locked me into the car.
Sam was in the car, too, okay? And we're walking
down the street, and this group of kids just being
menaces on the side of the road. There's a little
pack of pigeons.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
And they started kicking them.

Speaker 7 (35:53):
I have a solution.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
No, they started kicking.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
There's no solution. What's your solution? I have a solution.
So the next time this happens, if Skiri, you're.

Speaker 11 (36:00):
The driver, or Garrett, you're the driver, let Gandhi out
of the car so she can continue the altercation.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
She wanted to do the pullover. She was ready to
throw fists.

Speaker 7 (36:09):
Wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Okay. Okay.

Speaker 10 (36:10):
Let me pull you out of the car and into
the situation where we were sitting at the bar at
the Biltmore hotel in Florida, where this woman walks in,
obviously dressed to pick up guys and maybe charge them,
you know, money for sex.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
She realizes, as you've heard the story, she's the woman
that T-boned their car two days before and then drove
away from the scene of the crime. So Gandhi says,
I'm going to give that bitch a piece of my mind.
I'm like, no, you're not. We're going to stand up
and get out of this bar and walk home.

Speaker 7 (36:43):
He physically stopped me from saying anything. Here's my thing.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
I'm little.

Speaker 7 (36:48):
I get taken advantage of all day, all the time.
Things just happen. People push me out of the way.
They cut in front of me in line. Maybe it's
a little bit of a Napoleon complex. I don't know.
But I just want to stand up for myself and
the pigeons. That's all.

Speaker 8 (36:59):
But when you're in the car, in the passenger seat,
you're the same size as everyone else.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
That's fair.

Speaker 5 (37:04):
These scenarios might not end well. Do you ever think
about the consequences? Always.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
And that's what Froggy has said to me before because
there's been times where I've been in a car and
I was on the phone with Froggy and I wanted
to do something. And Froggy, who I'm surprised even told
the story he just told, is the first one to say,
don't do it.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
You don't know what's going to happen. She could have
a gun. I've had water bottles thrown at people. the
front of my car. And I was like, I'm getting out.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
I'm saying something. He's screaming. You don't know what the
other person will do. You really don't know. When you
hear about these stories of retribution. through road rage, it
all starts with something simple and stupid, and then someone
gets shot in the head. I have a question.

Speaker 11 (37:46):
So do you react like this when you're alone or
only when there's a guy there to potentially back you up?

Speaker 7 (37:53):
Oh, please. The men that we have named, I think
none of them would stick up for me, except maybe Elvis, maybe.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
No, I wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
No, no, don't look at me.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
No, no.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
That prostitute would rip my eyes out before yours.

Speaker 16 (38:09):
I would have to pick Gandhi up and carry her away.
That's what I would do. Like, I would pick her
up and carry her away.

Speaker 7 (38:13):
There's no honor amongst these thieves in here. But I
will say, when I'm with my boyfriend, I am much
more careful because he's a hothead. And if he sees
somebody say something to me, he will pop off and
be crazy. Whereas a lot of these guys, I'm the man.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
Then you know what it feels like. But Gandhi, you're like...
you're like the chihuahua showing its teeth all the time that's.

Speaker 7 (38:33):
Right they're scared they have a deregulated central nervous system
because they're so little you just have to give me
some space.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
Is that your issue you're deregulated what.

Speaker 7 (38:42):
Central nervous system because i'm little everything's bigger than me everything's.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
A threat oh my god my favorite line of the
day but they kicked a pigeon.

Speaker 7 (38:52):
Scary Sawton didn't care.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
I cared. I did care.

Speaker 5 (38:54):
I felt bad for that pigeon, but we've got zillions
of them in New York City. You tried to put.

Speaker 7 (38:57):
Me into the car.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 10 (39:00):
So now that we have this out on the table, Garrett,
are you still okay giving her a ride home or what?

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (39:07):
No, I am.

Speaker 16 (39:07):
I just have to be prepared to put the car
in reverse and tailspin out of there as quickly as
possible next time.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
I'll do better. I'll try. Good God.

Speaker 8 (39:14):
Oh, Lord.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
All right.

Speaker 6 (39:14):
All right.

Speaker 5 (39:15):
I love the show because of all you guys.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Oh, my God. Who else has hard nipples right now?
The topics, the characters.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
That's Scotty B where he puts his bananas.

Speaker 8 (39:24):
Mr.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Michael Oppenheimer.

Speaker 6 (39:25):
Mrs.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Moskalopsis. Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
The Elvis Duran phone tap.

Speaker 5 (39:44):
Let's see what Scary's phone tap is all about today.

Speaker 12 (39:46):
So Kira's in high school, and she gets in trouble
there all the time. Now, add to that the fact
that her mom is overprotective of her when she can be.
In fact, her mom is so strict that Kira just
got her first cell phone recently. And so I figured
I'd pretend to be Kira's boyfriend calling her cell phone.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
And her mom is not very happy. All right, here
we go.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Hello?

Speaker 5 (40:10):
Hey, Kira.

Speaker 13 (40:13):
Who's this?

Speaker 5 (40:14):
It's little Wayne. How are you?

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Who?

Speaker 13 (40:17):
Who's this?

Speaker 5 (40:20):
It's Wayne from the schoolyard. How you doing?

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Oh, hey.

Speaker 13 (40:24):
How you doing?

Speaker 14 (40:25):
Did you hear what the hell I said?

Speaker 13 (40:26):
Who are you talking to on the phone right now?

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Mom.

Speaker 17 (40:29):
Mom.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
Hold on.

Speaker 5 (40:30):
You want to hang out?

Speaker 13 (40:32):
When do you want to hang out?

Speaker 5 (40:34):
Give me the phone. Tell me when your parents aren't home.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
Excuse me.

Speaker 5 (40:37):
Who's that?

Speaker 14 (40:38):
This is her mother.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Who's that?

Speaker 5 (40:40):
My name's Wayne. How you doing, ma? Excuse you?

Speaker 14 (40:43):
Let me explain something to you, Wayne. I don't know
where you calling from or who you are, but Kara's
not supposed to be on the phone talking to nobody,
which means you.

Speaker 5 (40:52):
I don't get it. Why can't you talk to people
on the phone?

Speaker 14 (40:55):
Excuse me. You sound drunk on my phone. Kara, you're
going to relax right now.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
I'm not drunk.

Speaker 14 (40:59):
First of all, right now, I don't know who the
f * * * you are, but you sound like
a b * * * *. And I don't want
you on the phone with my child.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
Why does she have a cell phone then?

Speaker 14 (41:07):
It's none of your damn business why she got a
cell phone. It's an emergency. That's why she got a
cell phone. It had nothing to do with you. Kara,
let me tell you.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
Hold on.

Speaker 14 (41:16):
You right now, me and you, I'm about to kick
your ass.

Speaker 12 (41:19):
Listen to me.

Speaker 14 (41:20):
You're going to calm the hell down right now because
I've had it up to the hill with your ass.
Young man, you are not to call this phone.

Speaker 5 (41:28):
No, it's young money.

Speaker 14 (41:29):
No more.

Speaker 5 (41:29):
Not young man.

Speaker 14 (41:31):
Excuse me.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Young money.

Speaker 14 (41:32):
But let me tell you right now, you got the
wrong one.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
You can call me Wheezy.

Speaker 14 (41:36):
I could call you Wheezy. You out of your mind.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
You could call the whole group because, baby, I'm a groupie.

Speaker 14 (41:40):
Let me explain something to you. Where's your parents? That's
what you need. You need to put your mama on
the phone right now because I don't know about you.
I've never heard you before, never seen you before. Put
your mother on the phone because you're not going to
be calling my house with this child right here.

Speaker 5 (41:55):
I think your daughter is bionic.

Speaker 14 (41:57):
What the f * * * are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (41:59):
And I don't think she's beautiful. I think she's beyond it.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Hello?

Speaker 5 (42:05):
Hey, it's Wayne again. How's your mom?

Speaker 3 (42:08):
I'm tripping.

Speaker 14 (42:09):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (42:10):
She's crazy.

Speaker 14 (42:11):
No, you're crazy. I'm not crazy.

Speaker 7 (42:14):
I'm not crazy.

Speaker 14 (42:14):
You're the one that's going to wind up on YouTube.
That's why I went through this before. When that guy
caught me talking about it, I hit it and I
quit it and all that.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
This is what I'm going to have to.

Speaker 8 (42:22):
Deal with you.

Speaker 11 (42:22):
That has nothing to do with nothing.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Stop it, girl.

Speaker 14 (42:24):
I ain't got no time for you no more.

Speaker 5 (42:26):
Hey, am I on speakerphone?

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
Tell your mom that I'm a good guy and I
shared my 40 with you.

Speaker 14 (42:33):
Bring him in my face so I can crack a
40 over his damn head.

Speaker 5 (42:35):
Tell your mom that I'm fighting for this girl on
the battlefield of love.

Speaker 14 (42:39):
Get off my phone.

Speaker 13 (42:40):
I don't care.

Speaker 14 (42:40):
I'm going to see him tonight.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
Don't it look like baby cupids and her arrows from above?

Speaker 14 (42:45):
You ain't going nowhere. You staying right up in this
damn house.

Speaker 11 (42:48):
You can't make me do nothing.

Speaker 14 (42:50):
I'm going to my father's house. And let Jay-Z go
and pay for your stuff.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
That's what you do.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Why are you calling this phone?

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Are you still serious?

Speaker 3 (43:01):
Are you serious?

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Stop calling me.

Speaker 5 (43:04):
Stop calling here.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Stop calling me.

Speaker 7 (43:07):
This is my phone.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
So I could make it juicy for you.

Speaker 12 (43:10):
Who is this?

Speaker 5 (43:11):
I just want to get behind it.

Speaker 14 (43:13):
You want to get behind what?

Speaker 6 (43:15):
Your daughter.

Speaker 12 (43:16):
I'm a fan of hers.

Speaker 7 (43:17):
No, let me explain.

Speaker 14 (43:18):
Something to you.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
What do you want to explain?

Speaker 14 (43:21):
No, you're going to shut your mouth, Kara.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
That's it.

Speaker 14 (43:24):
I don't have time for this.

Speaker 5 (43:25):
I work too hard.

Speaker 13 (43:26):
In my life, Kara.

Speaker 14 (43:27):
I'm not dealing with this right now. Call this phone,
you little rodent, and I will have the police at
your house. Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee.

Speaker 5 (43:38):
Like a cop car.

Speaker 13 (43:39):
Don't stand there and stare at me like that.

Speaker 14 (43:41):
This is your bull on this phone.

Speaker 12 (43:43):
I'm done with this.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
You're crazy.

Speaker 14 (43:46):
Oh, I'm crazy. Oh, I'm crazy. You're about to see
crazy bitch. This guy's a clown.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
I want to know what the assignment is.

Speaker 14 (43:55):
Excuse me.

Speaker 8 (43:57):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
You will not be driving.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
We have a sex ed class together. Ask Colin for
the homework.

Speaker 7 (44:03):
First of all, I have my daughter's schedule.

Speaker 14 (44:05):
My daughter is not taking any sex educational classes. Wait
a minute, is this the kid that got arrested for
bringing the boons in the Cisco to school and selling it?

Speaker 13 (44:13):
No!

Speaker 5 (44:14):
Actually, I'm an aspiring rap artist. Oh, you're an aspiring
rap artist?

Speaker 13 (44:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (44:18):
Oh, you're an aspiring rap artist? I like to rap
my damn fists around your damn face. You need to
go and get a life.

Speaker 5 (44:24):
I got triple A, and I'm a part of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Speaker 16 (44:28):
Are you still serious?

Speaker 14 (44:29):
Are you serious? Is this one of your friends playing a.

Speaker 5 (44:33):
Mom!

Speaker 11 (44:34):
Hello!

Speaker 12 (44:34):
Mom, this is Scary Jones from Elvis Duran and the
Morning Show.

Speaker 7 (44:37):
Hello?

Speaker 11 (44:39):
Hello?

Speaker 5 (44:41):
You've been phone tapped!

Speaker 7 (44:42):
What the f * * *?

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Phone tap what?

Speaker 8 (44:45):
Kayla?

Speaker 12 (44:46):
Kayla, get your ass over here.

Speaker 5 (44:48):
Excuse me.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Don't do this to me!

Speaker 5 (44:51):
I thought quoting Lil Wayne lyrics would give it away.

Speaker 8 (44:53):
Who's Wayne?

Speaker 1 (44:55):
The Elvis Duran phone tap.

Speaker 17 (44:59):
This phone tap was pre-recorded with permission granted by all participants.

Speaker 9 (45:03):
The Elvis Duran phone tap only on Elvis Duran in
the morning show.

Speaker 5 (45:08):
Wasn't that long ago.

Speaker 10 (45:09):
We're talking about the danger of surprising people showing up
without being announced flying across the country and just showing
up at their door without them knowing you're coming.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
I think it's a bad idea.

Speaker 13 (45:22):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (45:23):
Gandhi surprised her sister for her birthday weekend. For sure. Luckily,
that turned out okay.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
It did. It turned out great. I also talked to
my brother-in-law about it before I got there. So he
was on it and doing things, making sure the house
was clean, whatever, so it wasn't traumatic for her.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
But yeah.

Speaker 7 (45:41):
I've popped up on people without telling them before.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
I always think this is a bad college thing. Like,
you know, you're doing that long-distance relationship where you went
to this college, they went to that college, and they're like,
I'm going to show up and surprise them.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
You show up on campus without a warning. Do not
do that.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
That doesn't, yeah.

Speaker 5 (45:58):
Yeah, frog.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
I don't know how this ended, but I was on
an airplane one time. If you remember, I was going
over to Germany to see our ship Bliss for Norway
when it was being built in the Meyerwerth shipyard. And
next to me on the flight was a woman who
was going to surprise her husband. He was at work
in Germany, and she was surprising him. He had no idea.
And the whole time I'm thinking, this may.

Speaker 5 (46:21):
Not go well. He may not be alone in Germany.
I have no idea how it ended, but in my mind,
I'm like, yeah, I don't think that's a good idea. Well,
we have people calling in. Brandy is on line four.
This happened to Brandy. So hi, Brandy.

Speaker 13 (46:38):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Good morning.

Speaker 10 (46:39):
So you flew to surprise your fiancé in Mississippi. And
what did you find when you showed up to surprise
your fiancé?

Speaker 13 (46:47):
I think he surprised me more than I surprised him.
But one weekend I had it off. I thought, I'm
going to go surprise him. So I flew down there
to where he was living. I got there early in
the morning. And I went to his apartment, knocked on
the door, and let myself in because I had a key.

Speaker 14 (47:01):
Oh.

Speaker 13 (47:02):
And there he was in bed with another woman. She
looked at me and said, who are you? I'm his fiancée.
And I thought, that's interesting because I'm his fiancée, too.

Speaker 8 (47:16):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 5 (47:19):
And what did he say? How did he handle this?

Speaker 13 (47:23):
He was very quiet. He didn't know what to do, so. Yeah,
we basically left the bedroom and made it downstairs to
the couch. And he was sitting between the two of us.
I was really interested in what she was going to do.
I learned that she knew about me, but I hadn't

(47:44):
known about her. I never got a phone call, never
got a letter about it. I didn't even get a
breakup conversation, but I got the best thing ever because
I got a big walk-in surprise.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
Thank God you walked in on him and got out
of this thing because you're going to have to get
out of it eventually. So that was the fastest way
to cut the head off that monster. I've got more
proof for you here why you shouldn't surprise people. Let's
go to line six. Julia from Virginia Beach. Hi, Julia.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Hi.

Speaker 10 (48:16):
So I hear, okay, your ex was having an affair
with a nursing school student.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Correct.

Speaker 5 (48:24):
And so who surprised who and what happened?

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Her husband is in the Navy and he surprised her
with a surprise visit because he's overseas in Japan. And
he walked in on their house and caught them having
sex in their guest bedroom, which apparently was Very nasty
and dirty because she's a dirty troll, and that's what
I call her. So, yeah, that's what happened.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 5 (48:54):
Dirty troll in the guest room.

Speaker 7 (48:55):
At least it was a guest room.

Speaker 5 (48:57):
There was the official sex room. So, see, here's my point.
If you're going to surprise someone, if you find something out,
it's going to be the end of whatever the relationship is.
But aren't you glad?

Speaker 13 (49:15):
I mean.

Speaker 5 (49:15):
you know i'm saying you want it you need for
it to end.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Even though yes and i guess the sooner the better
you find out.

Speaker 11 (49:21):
Right yeah all right well thank you my take on
this yeah sure so i feel anytime a woman does
a surprise visit i think it's not to see the
guy It's to see if he's doing something.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (49:35):
Only a woman? Men don't do that?

Speaker 5 (49:38):
As a guy, I don't think I would do that. Oh,
I bet men do.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
What, are you kidding me? But that is my take
on the, oh, I'm going to surprise him.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
What if I just haven't seen you?

Speaker 8 (49:48):
It's the worst idea ever.

Speaker 12 (49:53):
A buddy of mine was dating a girl while he
was living down in Delray. It's this Venezuelan girl that
he met down there, and they made sure that this
is what it was.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
It was what it was.

Speaker 12 (50:02):
He moved back up north to Hoboken, and then a
couple of weeks later came a knock on his door.

Speaker 5 (50:09):
And it was her. She showed up and she goes,
I just missed you. No, you were trying to catch
me in action.

Speaker 7 (50:17):
The two of you have been so hurt by women.

Speaker 12 (50:20):
Luckily, his cousin happened to be staying over.

Speaker 5 (50:23):
There was nothing nefarious going on.

Speaker 12 (50:26):
But he had to have a good talking with her
and say, hey, look, I got my job to do
up here.

Speaker 5 (50:30):
You just can't just surprise me in the.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Middle of nowhere. Yeah, that's why he said that.

Speaker 7 (50:34):
Because I'm working so hard on those jet skis.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
What the?

Speaker 5 (50:38):
I didn't say that. You said that. Oh, my God.
And by the way, why is it important that you
had to tell her she's Venezuelan? Because he helped her
get her driver's license. And I said, well, it's your fault.
This story's like an onion. Keep pulling back layers.

Speaker 12 (50:52):
He helped her get her driver's license, and then she
used it to drive all the way up here.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
To see him. She used a driver's license to drive. Okay.
She used her driver's license. He helped her get her
driver's license. I said it's your own fault, bro.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 7 (51:09):
Keep going, Scare.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Keep going.

Speaker 7 (51:10):
What if she just genuinely wanted to surprise him?

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Right.

Speaker 5 (51:13):
It's Nate's belief.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
Wasn't there a radio guy that one time played recorded
audio of himself and he went home and caught his
wife in bed with another dude while he was supposed
to be on the air?

Speaker 6 (51:24):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (51:25):
Men do it too. Guys do it too. I tell
that to Alex all the time. I said, you never know.

Speaker 18 (51:34):
We could have recorded that the day before.

Speaker 10 (51:46):
You've got to check out Macy's Best of the Season sale.
The best fall fashions are 30% off. We're talking brands
that rarely go on sale, like Levi's, Good American, and
Michael Kors. Macy's Best of the Season sale, September 17th
through the 28th.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
So.

Speaker 5 (52:00):
Gandhi was having dinner with some family members. One of
them is in the education field.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
I mean, way up there.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (52:08):
Like the dean of the university of whatever.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
He said something very, very, very enlightening. We brought it
up in a conversation earlier. I want to spread it
around the room.

Speaker 7 (52:18):
Well, he was talking about how over the time that
he has been a dean and he's been in academia,
he has seen such a marked difference in students and
their behavior and their posture and anxiety and everything that's happening.
And he asked me, Why? What do you think that is?
So we started having a conversation about what has changed. That's,
you know, adding to all this. And of course, the
world is different. But then it came down to this

(52:40):
article that I read recently that said this is going
to be the first generation Gen Z that will have
more memories of other people's lives than of their own.
And that has got to be something that is in
a lot of ways devastating and really unfulfilling. And I
think that that's a big part of where it all
comes from.

Speaker 5 (52:57):
Look, you know, if you're sitting there doom scrolling, and
this is not just Gen Z, but all of us,
you spend so much time in your day scrolling, scrolling, whatever,
through your phone. You're not living your life. You're looking
at other people living their lives. You're building more memories
about other people's things going on, strangers' photos and posts,

(53:20):
than you are making your own memories.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
You're not experiencing things.

Speaker 5 (53:23):
So how brilliant. I mean, how more real could it be?

Speaker 7 (53:28):
I think it's so terrifying in a lot of ways.
And it's also so weird how within all of this,
the amount of people who are not doing anything, which
we've touched on this before, who are not doing something,
but take every chance they can to bring down the
people who are trying to do something. It's just a
wild world. And a big part of it that we
were also discussing was so many people of these generations,

(53:49):
Gen Z and Gen Alpha, are afraid to go out
and try things because of that. Because they don't want
to be mocked, they don't want to become a meme
or go viral in a video of them failing at something,
that that is scarier than just never trying. And I
just can't imagine what that's got to be like.

Speaker 10 (54:03):
Let's take it to posting. What people are posting, what
you're posting, and why, okay? What kind of poster are you?

Speaker 5 (54:12):
Do you post photos of your experiences because you're showing
the world how much fun you're having?

Speaker 6 (54:19):
Or.

Speaker 10 (54:20):
You're trying to enlighten people to go do the fun
things you're doing? Or what are other examples?

Speaker 7 (54:24):
Some of them are, it's just your personal diary. You
don't really care what other people are doing. Do you
seek validation? And that's why you're posting. There are, you know,
different types of posters. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:34):
What's your intention behind your posts? Scary?

Speaker 12 (54:37):
Most of my posts are because of the latter of
what you said, Elvis.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
And that is.

Speaker 12 (54:43):
being able to show people, here's something cool going on
and I wish you were here with me and I
want you to maybe experience this too. And I do
that through a lot of the times I go to
a restaurant and I'm posting the food.

Speaker 5 (54:56):
Here's the meatloaf. Yeah, you gotta try it.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
It's delicious.

Speaker 12 (55:00):
Nate and I went to a restaurant the other day
And there was kielbasa on the menu, kielbasa, a big
fat sausage on a plate. And we questioned ourselves, when
have you ever seen a kielbasa on a restaurant menu?

Speaker 5 (55:13):
Never.

Speaker 12 (55:14):
So I thought it was important to showcase that. I'm like, look, guys,
you can get kielbasa at this restaurant.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Okay, question.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
Why? Why?

Speaker 5 (55:25):
Oh, why are you doing that?

Speaker 12 (55:26):
Because, again, I want people to experience that as well.
Like the night that I went to see Ariana.

Speaker 5 (55:31):
What people? My followers. Like when I went to go
see Ariana Grande.

Speaker 8 (55:35):
No, no, no.

Speaker 5 (55:35):
Okay, yeah. We'll get to Ariana Grande and concerts. Concerts
is a great example of this. But why? Do you immediately,
an hour later, go back and see how many people
are liking it? No, a few hours later I go back.

Speaker 10 (55:50):
You admitted to us that you had posted things before
that got no response and you took it off your feed.

Speaker 12 (55:54):
Yeah, because if they find it boring, if people, my
followers find it boring.

Speaker 5 (55:59):
Do you guys see what I'm trying to do?

Speaker 3 (56:00):
Absolutely.

Speaker 12 (56:01):
Because I'm a people pleaser and if you're not being pleased.

Speaker 5 (56:04):
Who are these people? Not my followers. You don't know them.
The listeners.

Speaker 7 (56:08):
Gary, just because they haven't responded doesn't mean somebody is
not pleased. Not liking is not the same as a
thumbs down. The way I picture you picturing it, and
I could be totally wrong about this, is that if
you get 100 likes in your head, the other 100,000
of your followers are talking to each other about how
lame your post was. And that's not what's happening at all.
Sometimes people just don't see it. Sometimes they don't care.

(56:28):
They scroll by. Sometimes they just enjoy the content. They
forget to like it. There's a lot of stuff that
goes into it versus internalizing it like it was trash.

Speaker 8 (56:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (56:36):
So, okay. So I'm being hard on myself is what
you're saying by taking it down.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (56:40):
But that's not the purpose of the post.

Speaker 12 (56:42):
My post was that there's, there's a big fat kielbasa
on a plate and I want to share.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
It with the world. It's a kielbasa.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
Whatever.

Speaker 5 (56:49):
I'm, You understand?

Speaker 12 (56:53):
But with the Ariana concert, I happen to have had
a great view. Now, if I was just a braggart,
I would just say, oh, I'm at the Ariana concert
and post any old thing.

Speaker 5 (57:04):
But the fact that I had an amazing.

Speaker 12 (57:06):
View, I'm like, oh, I want to bring her to you.

Speaker 5 (57:10):
Did you show video of her performing? Yeah, of course
I did. How many times do you go to someone's
post and go, oh my God, here's a video of
Ariana Grande performing. I'm going to sit here and watch that.
Do you watch that?

Speaker 7 (57:24):
If you're a fan.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
If you're a fan. Okay, do you watch the fireworks
on July 5th on people's posts?

Speaker 3 (57:29):
No.

Speaker 7 (57:30):
Those are all for us. We waste so much time
trying to document it.

Speaker 10 (57:32):
But going back to the original part of this conversation,
what memories of our own experiences are we posting in
our heads and going back to versus other people's memories,
other people's experiences?

Speaker 5 (57:45):
We're missing out on life by just living in this
world online. You're so right. We're connected to these phones.
It goes back to that.

Speaker 7 (57:51):
It's like a chord.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
I got to say that's one of the things I
love about live theater in going into a place where
you're not allowed to bring your phone. There was a
couple of places I went recently where they make you
put a sticker on the back of your phone.

Speaker 5 (58:03):
They're forcing you to create a memory.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Because you're there. You're just in the experience. It's all
in your head. You have to remember what you're feeling
and what you see and everything. And it's totally different.
I feel like you walk away... totally different from that than,
you know, going to a concert and taking.

Speaker 5 (58:21):
You're creating memories. Right, yeah, you're being present.

Speaker 12 (58:24):
So are you an enabler by posting all these stories
so other people can look at those memories and they're
not living their own life?

Speaker 5 (58:30):
Are you part of the problem for doing that?

Speaker 7 (58:33):
I don't look at it as you being an enabler,
but I do look at it as you being less
present in the actual moment because you're so focused on
recording it to then post for other people to see
that you did it instead of just doing it, just
enjoying it.

Speaker 5 (58:44):
So when you're... Okay, question. To that point, Nate, when
you were having dinner with Skiri the other night and
the big fat kielbasa came to the table.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Kielbasa.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Is that kielbasa too?

Speaker 14 (58:53):
Do you think.

Speaker 5 (58:54):
Is it plural? Kielbasa-y? Did he enjoy the taste of
that big sausage as much? He did. It was actually
very good kielbasa. Stuffed with cheese. And to be fair,
you don't really see kielbasa on me.

Speaker 8 (59:07):
But.

Speaker 5 (59:10):
Is beside the point.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
I make a killer kielbasa.

Speaker 5 (59:12):
By the way. I didn't begrudge him. He wanted to
post that because that's part of his.

Speaker 11 (59:16):
But for me, if I didn't do what I do,
I probably wouldn't have social media.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Exactly. We talked about this too.

Speaker 11 (59:27):
Ironically, I saw this as a post on Instagram, but
I think it encapsulates what we're talking about perfectly. It
was the actor from The Night Agent. Can't remember his name.
Good looking guy. He was doing a talk show. And
he stopped Instagram. He stopped social media. And whoever it was,
the talk show host said, why? He goes, well, I
was on my feed and I was scrolling. And I

(59:49):
saw somebody posted a picture from the top of Mount Everest.
And at that moment, I decided I'm done with social
media because Gabrielle Bosso. And he said, the reason I
did that was because I don't deserve to see that.
I didn't climb to the top of that mountain. I
didn't experience that. Why should I see what this other

(01:00:11):
person experienced? I should go out there and do something
like that myself and not live through other people. So
in that moment, he decided, I'm done with social media.
I'm tired of living through other people.

Speaker 12 (01:00:22):
But what if it creates inspiration for you to go
do that? The fact that he saw the picture.

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
The other side of the coin.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Well, that's why they pay social media influencers because... You
go experience it, and then you post it, and your
followers will say, wow, that looks so cool. I want
to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:38):
Okay, question. This is what Gandhi and I were talking
about before the show. If you left this job, Scary,
where you're posting to your listeners, you weren't doing this anymore.
You had no listeners. Listeners were done. Would you still
be posting? Probably not. I talk about this all the
time with my friends. Would you still even have an account?

Speaker 12 (01:00:58):
I find it nerve-wracking and tiring to want it to
keep up with it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:02):
If you find it tiring and nerve-wracking, how much of
your life is it depleting?

Speaker 12 (01:01:10):
What's it taking away from you? More than I care
to admit because none of my friends really post.

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
We'll never know.

Speaker 12 (01:01:15):
We won't know that because a lot of my friends,
I'm the only one in my group that really posts.
And then people are like, well, you have to post
because you do what you do for a living. And
I said, you know what? I wouldn't post half as
much If I wasn't in the situation, the position that
I'm in.

Speaker 5 (01:01:31):
What you do for a living, what does it have
to do with a big fat sausage on a table?
It was a good sausage. No, but I'm serious though.

Speaker 10 (01:01:38):
How does that enhance the listener experience knowing that you
ate a big fat sausage last night?

Speaker 12 (01:01:43):
Because by nature, I want to show people great things.
I feel like I'd be a tour guide if I
wasn't doing this. Whoever my audience is at that given time.

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
It could be my friends. It could be the people
in front of me. So to answer your question, to
answer to my question, you would still post big fat
sausages if you did not do this for a living?
Not as often. But you just said you would. Yeah,
I would.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
You're right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Yeah, I would.

Speaker 12 (01:02:10):
Guilty as charged. But, you know, give me a platform,
any platform, and I want to showcase cool things.

Speaker 5 (01:02:16):
That's all.

Speaker 7 (01:02:16):
See, I think it's all just, it's kind of a,
I don't know if paradox is the right word, but
it behooves me and serves me to post. I don't
think it serves me to consume other people's posts. Does
that make sense?

Speaker 5 (01:02:28):
That's selfish.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 5 (01:02:30):
So you want your.

Speaker 7 (01:02:31):
I want everyone to look at me, and I don't
want to look at anyone.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (01:02:34):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:02:35):
What are you saying?

Speaker 11 (01:02:36):
So you want your cake, but you want to not
be able to eat it? I'm trying to think of
that analogy.

Speaker 5 (01:02:41):
You post your cake and... Want to eat it too.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:02:44):
Yes. You want everybody to look at you, but you
don't want to look at them.

Speaker 7 (01:02:47):
Yes, that is what I said. That's what I literally
just said.

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
You're a chef, but you're not eating your own food.

Speaker 13 (01:02:51):
Kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Well, here's the thing, right?

Speaker 7 (01:02:52):
I think that consuming other people's content all day long,
it can make you feel bad about yourself. You will
sit there and think about all the things that they're
doing that you're not doing. Like this guy who was
upset about being in his chair and looking at someone
else on the top of Mount Everest. So it can
have this effect on you that's not good. But it
does serve me to post things because that's how I
get things in life as well. So I want other

(01:03:13):
people to look at my stuff, but.

Speaker 5 (01:03:14):
I just don't want to turn the finger. Or look
at the stuff you post, though.

Speaker 16 (01:03:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:03:18):
I see you swimming in lagoons. I see you swimming
with dolphins. I see you climbing mountains and doing things.
Those are experiences that you're going to remember.

Speaker 7 (01:03:29):
For sure.

Speaker 5 (01:03:30):
You looking at other people's experiences online would take away
the time you had to go do those things.

Speaker 7 (01:03:35):
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
So you didn't see my big fat sausage?

Speaker 7 (01:03:37):
I didn't see your stupid sausage.

Speaker 5 (01:03:39):
Damn it.

Speaker 7 (01:03:40):
Now I'm not going to go look.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
I wanted to go look.

Speaker 7 (01:03:41):
I'm not going to go look.

Speaker 5 (01:03:42):
Well, so you... Someone in the room said, well, if
I post photos of me skiing down the slopes of
the Alps, that may inspire them to go do it. Well,
am I now inspired to go eat a big fat sausage?

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
You might.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
It might have made you hungry.

Speaker 5 (01:03:56):
It's a hell of a sausage.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
That sausage looks good. You might say, what restaurant was that?
Because I want to try that sausage.

Speaker 5 (01:04:00):
Daniel. I'm just saying. That's the kielbasa-y. Kielbasa-y.

Speaker 10 (01:04:08):
Would you rather follow someone's lead and ski the Alps
or follow someone's lead and eat a sausage?

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
You know, it really depends on how much time I
have on my hands.

Speaker 7 (01:04:18):
But a sausage is pretty simple.

Speaker 5 (01:04:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:04:23):
What's your reason for posting when you post? Because sometimes
you will go for a very long time and not
post anything.

Speaker 5 (01:04:27):
I don't post a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
Right.

Speaker 10 (01:04:29):
As a matter of fact, when we were talking about this,
I'm like, let me look at my post. I didn't
really see anything that interesting in there. It was basically
more of a checklist of a journal.

Speaker 5 (01:04:39):
It's a journal of what I've done.

Speaker 7 (01:04:41):
I think it is a digital diary, too.

Speaker 11 (01:04:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:04:43):
For sure.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
I don't know. This is all crazy.

Speaker 10 (01:04:47):
But keep in mind, going back to the beginning of
this conversation one more time, What memories are we not
finding time to create for ourselves because we're too busy
scrolling on our phones?

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
There's a lot. Looking at other people's memories they're creating.
Now I'm sad. We just went full circle. Go have
a sausage. You'll feel much better. I'm going to eat
a sausage and go ski the Alps. Hell of a sausage.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
Bizarre, creepy, and unsettling. That's just so disturbing.

Speaker 5 (01:05:18):
Like, he used his mouth as a weapon.

Speaker 10 (01:05:29):
You've got to check out Macy's Best of the Season sale.
The best fall fashions are 30% off. We're talking brands
that rarely go on sale, like Levi's, Good American, and
Michael Kors. Macy's Best of the Season sale, September 17th
through the 28th.

Speaker 5 (01:05:47):
Are we even on? Are our microphones turned on?

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):

Speaker 5 (01:05:52):
So we need to have an intervention with one of us.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
Oh, God.

Speaker 5 (01:05:58):
Uh-oh. Why are you, oh, God. I bet you it's me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Why do you want to assume it's you?

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
It's him. What is it this time? Well, there needs
to be an intervention here. You know, Gandhi, you lead
the charge.

Speaker 7 (01:06:17):
Nate has been parading around and basically cosplaying or LARPing
as a pauper. And we need to intervene with him.

Speaker 5 (01:06:24):
I don't know what that is. What is that?

Speaker 7 (01:06:25):
A pauper?

Speaker 5 (01:06:26):
A pauper. Oh, a pauper. I was like, Nate. A P-A-U-P-E-R.

Speaker 12 (01:06:31):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:06:31):
Like a pauper. Like a poor person?

Speaker 7 (01:06:32):
A poor person, yes. And I know he's not.

Speaker 5 (01:06:35):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:06:36):
And I appreciate it, but I think we need to
step in and help you out.

Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
How am I cosplaying poor?

Speaker 7 (01:06:40):
Nate, you walk around asking for cups of detergent.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
Okay, I did that once.

Speaker 7 (01:06:44):
You asked me for a cup of dirt.

Speaker 5 (01:06:47):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
Hold on.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
But I see why he did that because they only
sell dirt like soil in like gigantic bags.

Speaker 5 (01:06:53):
Thank you. And he just needs a little bit. You
know what's so sad? You can't even afford dirt. I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
I can't.

Speaker 8 (01:07:00):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:07:00):
No, I can. I just don't want to waste. See,
I feel like you would waste dirt. There's plenty of dirt.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
No, no.

Speaker 11 (01:07:07):
I have an indoor plant that I rescued from this
hovel that we call a workplace. And it literally needs
a coffee cup of potting soil. I have gone to
multiple places asking, do you have potting soil? I just
literally need a cup. Sorry, you need to buy the
whole bag.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
It's eight pounds. What am I going to do with
eight pounds of potting soil?

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
Get more plants.

Speaker 5 (01:07:30):
No, I don't have any. I live in a shoebox.

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
You could have gone to a hardware store. They've probably
got a torn bag. I did that.

Speaker 5 (01:07:37):
I was going to steal, and then I'm like, okay,
then I'll be the thief.

Speaker 6 (01:07:40):
See, stealing.

Speaker 5 (01:07:40):
Hello. Then I'll be the thief.

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
Pauper.

Speaker 5 (01:07:42):
They're small bags for $ 2.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
I know. They're so small. I don't need the whole bag.
I love size.

Speaker 7 (01:07:47):
I'm Cheapy McCheapster.

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
Both of you asked me. Both of you said, oh,
I got potting soil. You know what I'm going to do?

Speaker 17 (01:07:55):
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to come in with a coffee
cup and I'm going to go outside where all the
dogs piss.

Speaker 5 (01:07:58):
No, I don't want that. You'll never know. You'll never know. Okay,
so far, you couldn't go out and buy detergent. So
you asked someone to bring a cup. You couldn't get dirt.

Speaker 6 (01:08:11):
What else?

Speaker 5 (01:08:11):
Is there anything else on the list that you can
use as exhibits?

Speaker 7 (01:08:14):
Nate, would you like to talk about the things that
you're doing?

Speaker 5 (01:08:17):
No, I feel like this is enough.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
I mean, here's the thing.

Speaker 11 (01:08:21):
You know, you read those stories about how do these,
not saying I'm rich, but how do rich people become rich?

Speaker 5 (01:08:26):
They don't spend their money. So this shirt I'm wearing,
I've had it for nine years.

Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Great.

Speaker 5 (01:08:31):
It's still a shirt. It's still fine. It still works. Okay.
What about, yeah, Frog has something he wants to say
to you.

Speaker 4 (01:08:37):
No, I just, like, the detergent, that's not going to
go bad. You're going to have to wash clothes again. So,
I mean, you could have brought your detergent. Like, I
was on your side with the dirt.

Speaker 7 (01:08:45):
Wait, let's not forget, he also saves all of his
laundry to drive it home to Pennsylvania.

Speaker 5 (01:08:51):
Do you know how much laundry he has here? To
do his laundry at.

Speaker 7 (01:08:53):
His parents' house instead of just do the laundry while
he's here.

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
When you live in New York City, it's a given.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
You take.

Speaker 5 (01:09:00):
the big bag of laundry, you drag it down the street,
and they do it for you.

Speaker 11 (01:09:03):
You know how many times those ladies have lost sight?
I mean, they're sweet ladies. But they've lost my socks.
They've lost underwear. Plus, I don't know about y'all, but
I don't like to put my clothes in the dryer.
Most of them I hang dry.

Speaker 5 (01:09:16):
And you can't.

Speaker 11 (01:09:16):
They charge you per item. They charge you $ 1 per
item to hang dry. I'm going to spend $ 78 to
hang dry.

Speaker 5 (01:09:26):
The freaking air is doing the work. What are they
charging you for? It's the labor of them hanging it
on a line. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:09:33):
He drives it to Pennsylvania.

Speaker 11 (01:09:36):
By the way, I paid for those washing machines in
my parents' house.

Speaker 5 (01:09:40):
I paid for the house. Do you have.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
Your mom wash your clothes when.

Speaker 14 (01:09:44):
You get there?

Speaker 5 (01:09:45):
She'll help me fold it because she's my mom. And
the washer and dryer that you have in your mom's house,
were they on sale? Yeah, right, they were. I got
a deal. I know a guy. I know Scotty's guy.
That's how I got him. Okay, all right. You got
to know a guy. I don't know what you guys
are so upset about.

Speaker 8 (01:10:02):
No one's upset, but it's just, okay, is there anything
that you splurge on, that you overpay for?

Speaker 11 (01:10:08):
My lady truck, I probably, you know, but I did
get a deal on that because, you know, at the
time they were going for above asking.

Speaker 5 (01:10:14):
Your Tacoma? My Tacoma, yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:10:18):
I found somebody that I just got it for sticker.

Speaker 5 (01:10:20):
Pretty happy about that.

Speaker 7 (01:10:21):
He needs that truck to take the laundry to Pennsylvania.

Speaker 5 (01:10:25):
I do. You have to haul all that laundry. What
other splurges? You don't spend money.

Speaker 11 (01:10:32):
I really don't. I'm going to be one of these
guys that dies and they're like, you had $ 9 million
but he lived in a studio apartment.

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
This reminds me. I had lunch with Nate. It was
last December because we were in Miami for the Y100
Jingle Ball. We had lunch at the Fountain Blue. And
we ordered chicken fingers and french fries. And there was,
I left two chicken fingers. And he goes, hey, you
can eat those?

Speaker 5 (01:10:56):
I'm like, no.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
I'm going to take them back to my room. He
literally got a box and took them back to his
room again. That was his midnight snack.

Speaker 5 (01:11:03):
Chicken fingers. They're chicken tenders.

Speaker 12 (01:11:05):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:11:05):
Don't forget, he also wants art for his apartment, but
he wants to borrow it from people.

Speaker 5 (01:11:09):
Yeah. He wants to borrow art. He can't go buy art.

Speaker 11 (01:11:12):
I don't see why you have so much art, Elvis.
I don't see why you can't borrow it. People do
that all the time. They let the Met borrow a
painting and they're like, all right. I'm on loan from
Elvis Duran. Okay, but maybe it's just me. It's a
gay guy decorating thing. But, I mean, you don't really
buy art because you're just filling up a space. You
buy art because it talks to you. It's something that
you can relate with.

Speaker 5 (01:11:33):
Gandhi, you get that. Daniel, you get it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (01:11:35):
Yes, for sure.

Speaker 10 (01:11:35):
Artwork is something that you can relate with and something
you're going to keep forever. Yeah, but you have so
much that's just muzzled, sitting rolled up in your bedroom.

Speaker 5 (01:11:44):
It's not even speaking. You put a gag on it.

Speaker 12 (01:11:47):
Can I share the other side of this coin and
I come to.

Speaker 5 (01:11:50):
Nate's rescue for a second? What coin is it? It's
a penny because that's all you can afford.

Speaker 8 (01:11:56):
A wooden nickel.

Speaker 12 (01:11:58):
So when I got my new apartment, Nate and I
went out to dinner. And we went to this place
in the city, and it was not exactly a diner.
It was actually a pretty nice dinner where I expected
that we were going to split the bill.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
At the end of the dinner.

Speaker 12 (01:12:15):
He grabs my hand as I'm reaching for my wallet,
and he places it over mine, and he says... dinner's
on me tonight. You just got a new place and
this is a celebration. And I didn't know where it
came from.

Speaker 11 (01:12:28):
$ 186. 14.

Speaker 5 (01:12:28):
He remembers. He wrote it off. Nate, when we go
out to lunch, which is a lot, every fifth one
he'll pay for.

Speaker 11 (01:12:42):
Okay, and in my defense, I will leave probably a 25% tip,
which I think is a pretty good tip.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
Yeah, very good.

Speaker 5 (01:12:48):
Elvis will look at that and go, you cheapskate.

Speaker 8 (01:12:51):
25, what?

Speaker 5 (01:12:53):
That's a lot of money.

Speaker 17 (01:12:55):
It's like you're in the Nate Reward program.

Speaker 5 (01:12:57):
Every fifth one is free.

Speaker 7 (01:12:58):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:13:00):
Punch my card. Oh, this is from Frugal Freddy over here. Oh, God.
Rat me out about potting soil and detergent. Scotty B
is the cheap bastard of the show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
He's Stingy Scotty.

Speaker 7 (01:13:11):
Oh, my favorite with Scott is that he will not
get breakfast unless somebody else is paying for it. And
then he's like, oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:13:16):
That is not true. I think that is true, Scotty.
It's mostly true.

Speaker 11 (01:13:20):
You went through the list of who was ordering what,
and Scotty's order was like $ 49. And he had a
shake for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and I think
he got something for dinner.

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
I like to add extra protein. You bought for the
whole day. But wait, not that I'm complaining. You know
I love you. When's the last time you bought all
of us breakfast? Talking to me?

Speaker 6 (01:13:40):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:13:41):
You're talking to me? It will never happen.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
Never happen.

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
Oh, Scott.

Speaker 5 (01:13:45):
Yo, it's been a few years, man.

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
No, no, no.

Speaker 5 (01:13:47):
I think two studios ago. I don't think it has been.
I don't think he's ever bought back.

Speaker 7 (01:13:50):
I don't think he's ever done it.

Speaker 17 (01:13:52):
I think there was that one time where I won
600 bucks on a lotto ticket. It might have been then.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Oh, maybe you did, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:13:56):
But that was like 15 years ago.

Speaker 8 (01:13:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:13:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:13:58):
I don't recall that one.

Speaker 5 (01:13:59):
You weren't here.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 11 (01:14:02):
It's hard in this room to be generous because you, Elvis,
outshine everybody, you know?

Speaker 5 (01:14:08):
But it's nice when people pick up the tab for me.
It's scary. We took him to lunch that time, remember?
We split the bill. I like how you said, remember?
We were talking about that time. That one time. And
I think I was with Gandhi one time.

Speaker 12 (01:14:22):
We bought Elvis lunch or dinner.

Speaker 5 (01:14:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:14:24):
We did.

Speaker 5 (01:14:25):
Going back to breakfast for a second. I definitely bought
the entire show and then some breakfast. Yeah, you have.
You definitely have. We didn't say you're a cheat master. No.
We said that Scotty B and Nate are cheat masters.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:14:38):
Yeah, five nights at Frugal Freddy's over here.

Speaker 17 (01:14:39):
It's not a matter of being a cheap bastard. It's
not being a cheap bastard. I got a lot going
on in my life. I can't spend $ 150 on breakfast.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Applesauce.

Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
Here goes applesauce. Gotta get that applesauce.

Speaker 7 (01:14:50):
Danielle's always trying to pay. I'll even try to Venmo
her for something that I got.

Speaker 5 (01:14:54):
She's like, no.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
I don't want it. Because it's nice every now and
then to treat your friends.

Speaker 7 (01:14:58):
Scary and I treated when we were in Miami.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
We went to breakfast at that place.

Speaker 5 (01:15:02):
Oh, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
And we treated Elvis and everybody because we said to
each other, Elvis is always paying. Let's split this together.

Speaker 5 (01:15:08):
And it feels good. I'm okay. I'm the dad that's
okay if you buy me something. Buy me dinner. You
guys are always very generous.

Speaker 7 (01:15:17):
But you do yell at all of us about the tip.

Speaker 2 (01:15:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:15:21):
If we go to a place where they know me,
I insist on paying. Because then they'll think... I told
him to leave a low tip or something.

Speaker 7 (01:15:29):
Low tip is like 30, 40%. You come in at 4,000.
No one's going to do that. And if they're.

Speaker 5 (01:15:35):
Hotter, forget it. If they're hotter, for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:15:40):
If you're a hot server, you're getting tipped. I'm going
to lay it on you. I will buy breakfast for
everybody tomorrow morning, but I have to pick the place.
I got to pick it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:48):
I have to pick it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
What are you going to pick?

Speaker 5 (01:15:50):
Someplace there's a coupon or something, but I got to
pick it. Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
I was in Scotty's studio yesterday, and I said, oh,
that's so delicious. And Scotty goes, and I can't wait
to get a free one because I got a coupon
right over here.

Speaker 5 (01:16:01):
Yeah, why not? There you go. I don't want to
pity pay, though.

Speaker 1 (01:16:03):
This is bad.

Speaker 5 (01:16:04):
I feel awful now. Now that I feel like we're
forcing you into paying. It's not pity. It's the least
he can do. You guys have all done.

Speaker 17 (01:16:11):
So much for me, whether it be emotionally or monetarily.

Speaker 5 (01:16:15):
So, you know, you deserve it. I will pay for breakfast. Oh, Scotty.

Speaker 7 (01:16:19):
I feel like we're bullying you into buying breakfast.

Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
No, I love you all so much. I will buy
breakfast tomorrow, but I pick. Elvis, I think you should
get breakfast, lunch, and dinner like Scotty.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
I can't wait to see where he picks.

Speaker 5 (01:16:29):
He's also going to pick out our menu items. There's
a limit.

Speaker 7 (01:16:32):
We're having McDonald's. Can we appreciate Nate's artistry that this
started out about him being a cheap bastard and he
steered it right into Scotty?

Speaker 5 (01:16:39):
I should have been in politics, man. That's what a
good pauper does.

Speaker 6 (01:16:42):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (01:16:43):
All right. Well, story is still developing. We'll bring you
up to speed when we have more information. Thank you.

Speaker 8 (01:16:53):
You know, we're living in this totally digital world.

Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
Where everything is either on a phone or it's digitized
in a laptop. It's all digital. We've given up on
an analog world. We've given up on all the stuff
we grew up with that made us the great people
we are today.

Speaker 10 (01:17:22):
So I'm really, really excited to hear about a lot
of Gen Zers under the age of 30, under the
age of 28, are bringing back the things we left behind.

Speaker 5 (01:17:32):
Like what? libraries are getting busy again. I have a
library in every city I've ever lived in. Okay, great.
Does that mean you're going to the library?

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
I go, I go.

Speaker 11 (01:17:43):
I get digital books now. And I do occasionally go
do a pickup over here on 53rd.

Speaker 5 (01:17:47):
Are you picking at women?

Speaker 7 (01:17:49):
He's trying.

Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
I love the smell of a library.

Speaker 12 (01:17:53):
It smells like books.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
The smell of a book with the pages.

Speaker 10 (01:17:58):
When I was growing up, libraries were not only a
place that had the Dewey decibel system telling you where
your book is located, but it was also a center
hub for the town. I mean, they had meetings there.
They had classes there. Libraries are fabulous. There's much more
going on in the library other than just books. So
what else is Gen Z discovering that we left behind?

(01:18:19):
Wristwatches are now coming back.

Speaker 5 (01:18:22):
They're on the comeback. Interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:18:24):
That's good. Wristwatches over smartwatches. Oh, okay. We're talking about
real moving parts in a watch.

Speaker 13 (01:18:32):
Okay. Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:18:33):
Because we were reading a lot about how allegedly Gen
Z could not read analog clocks. So are these digital
watches or are these like actual watches with gears and hands?

Speaker 5 (01:18:42):
These are watches with gears and hands. So it's back, baby.

Speaker 7 (01:18:44):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (01:18:44):
You're bringing it back. I mean, you know, it doesn't
take a lot to learn how to read the sundial.
Not at all. Anyway, so thank you, Gen Z, for
bringing back what we left behind. How about vinyl?

Speaker 10 (01:18:56):
You know, vinyl's been on the comeback for a while,
but now vinyl sales are at an all-time high.

Speaker 5 (01:19:02):
All-time high meaning, you know, in this decade. Okay. And
so that's great. Do you guys have a lot of
vinyl rolling?

Speaker 8 (01:19:07):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 7 (01:19:08):
I don't have any vinyl.

Speaker 4 (01:19:09):
None.

Speaker 7 (01:19:10):
No.

Speaker 10 (01:19:10):
It's nice, but it takes effort. You've got to take
effort to get the turntable, get the system up. But
to keep the albums coming in, it really is great.
At the end of the week, you light up a candle,
turn off the lights, maybe a glass of wine or something.

Speaker 5 (01:19:26):
And just lie on the floor. You can't listen to
vinyl in a chair or on a couch. You've got
to be on the floor.

Speaker 2 (01:19:32):
Spencer did this yesterday. He cleaned out his vinyl collection.
He was reorganizing everything. When I went in his room,
I go, what are you doing? And he goes, I'm
organizing my vinyl. And it was all this.

Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
Isn't that great?

Speaker 13 (01:19:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:19:42):
I'm so glad that we have that and we haven't
given up on it. We had a record player growing up,
but I think at some point it stopped working. I
like how we called it a record player. A Victrola.
We had a Victrola. A phonograph. A record player, that's
what it does. So what are the advantages over vinyl?

Speaker 11 (01:19:59):
For you, what are the advantages that vinyl has over
a digital or a CD?

Speaker 5 (01:20:06):
To me, because I have a pretty nice system, but
you don't have to have a very expensive system. The
sound is different. It's a warmer sound. As deaf as
I am, I can hear digital. They call it flang
or flange or something. I can hear it on a
radio station because it's all in computers. The warmth of
vinyl through those speakers with woofers. in mid-range and treble

(01:20:31):
speakers all encased in one speaker, I can hear all
the frequencies. I can feel them, too. Unless you can
roll one on your own, you can't really understand what
that means.

Speaker 7 (01:20:41):
Do you get that little click-pop sound?

Speaker 5 (01:20:43):
You can.

Speaker 7 (01:20:44):
That's cool.

Speaker 5 (01:20:45):
Well, of course, all my vinyl's new, so I don't
have a lot of click-pops.

Speaker 7 (01:20:49):
Excuse me.

Speaker 11 (01:20:50):
Well, no.

Speaker 5 (01:20:50):
I don't have my old albums from when I was
growing up. I wish I did. Those were a wreck
to hell.

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
You don't have any from your parents that they passed
down to you?

Speaker 6 (01:20:58):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:20:59):
I don't have any of them. They just disappeared. What's scary?

Speaker 12 (01:21:01):
No, they say that it not only competes, but it's
superior to digital sound. And I decided that I'm installing
a record player in my living room in my new
place that I got. And I have all my parents'
old vinyl, and I just love hearing it.

Speaker 5 (01:21:16):
And Elvis is so right with this. By the way,
as I'm reading this story off my phone, a citizen's
alert just came in.

Speaker 8 (01:21:22):
Oh, God.

Speaker 5 (01:21:23):
A person is locked out on their penthouse balcony.

Speaker 16 (01:21:25):
What?

Speaker 10 (01:21:28):
Firefighters have received a report of a person locked down
on a penthouse balcony.

Speaker 5 (01:21:33):
Naked? Someone called 911. It's on Walker Street. It's down
in Tribeca. Okay, back to our fun. Gen Z, they
picked up things that we left behind, including printing photos.
The photo printing thing has been going on for a
little while. We were a part of that with our show.
We gave away that have Insta photos. Yeah. But printing

(01:21:57):
your photos are making a comeback.

Speaker 7 (01:21:59):
Do you know what I've been seeing a lot of lately,
which is kind of cool? People are doing, remember the
old school, you used to like, make a magazine out
of your photos when people are doing it again. Every month,
my one friend makes a magazine of his month.

Speaker 13 (01:22:13):
Oh, that's nice.

Speaker 7 (01:22:13):
It's kind of fun.

Speaker 6 (01:22:14):
Really?

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 5 (01:22:15):
I would love that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (01:22:17):
Let's get into publishing.

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:22:19):
What's up, Scotty B?

Speaker 17 (01:22:19):
You know, related to that, my daughter's not quite Gen Z,
but she asked me to pick up a bunch of
disposable cameras for her with actual film. So I think
that has been making a comeback as well because they
are selling a lot of disposable cameras again with film.

Speaker 7 (01:22:34):
And regular digital cameras, too.

Speaker 10 (01:22:36):
To get into that, not only are the film cameras selling,
but the digital cameras that we were using right before
the cell phones took over, those are a huge comeback
right now.

Speaker 5 (01:22:43):
Oh, my God, the Canon PowerShot. I still have mine
from back then. It's worth a lot of money. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:22:48):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 5 (01:22:48):
What do you mean, a lot of money?

Speaker 8 (01:22:50):
All the kids are trying to buy the old ones,
not remade new ones. The Canon PowerShot.

Speaker 5 (01:22:55):
The steel ones. Can you still get the little things
that you put in them? Yeah, with the same little
SD mini SD. Yeah, they're SD cards.

Speaker 14 (01:23:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:23:02):
Also, thank you, Gen Z, for bringing back something we
left behind. Board games are huge right now.

Speaker 1 (01:23:08):
I love that.

Speaker 7 (01:23:09):
Can I protest that one?

Speaker 5 (01:23:10):
Board games? Why?

Speaker 7 (01:23:11):
Well, no, I just don't think that they got left behind.
Like so many of my friends, we do board games
and like game nights all the time. I'm not going
to let them have this one. They can have the rest.

Speaker 5 (01:23:20):
Okay. Yeah, millennials never gave up the board games.

Speaker 7 (01:23:23):
Never gave it up.

Speaker 5 (01:23:23):
They would go to a bar, sit down, and play
Monopoly and Trouble.

Speaker 7 (01:23:27):
My friend who just came to visit brought board games
with him, like in his backpack.

Speaker 1 (01:23:31):
I'm like, well, that's weird.

Speaker 5 (01:23:31):
Oh, that was cool.

Speaker 6 (01:23:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:23:33):
Even though we love our Audible a lot, paper books. Yep.
A lot of people are still combining the two. They're
doing both e-books and paper books. I do the two.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
If I'm home and I'm on the couch with a
glass of wine, I will have the book in my hand.
But when I'm out on that walk... I have my
Audible on, so I spend more money because I do both.

Speaker 11 (01:23:53):
And I'm sorry, it is so hard for me to
read on a phone or a digital reader. Just give
me the physical book, please. If you can't listen, then
you can read the real book.

Speaker 10 (01:24:02):
Here's one I just could not master ever, so it's
not making a comeback with me.

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
That's the game of chess. The Gen Zers are picking
up chess. The game of intellect. The game of strategy.
In your old neighborhood, Elvis, Washington Square Park. Thompson Street
is where all the chess doors are.

Speaker 11 (01:24:23):
There's a bunch of chess tables there in the park,
and there are now lines to play the guys that
sit there all day.

Speaker 10 (01:24:31):
It used to be pool tables and pool halls. Now
it's chess tables. But you walk up past those chess
tables in Washington Square Park and walk up Thompson Street,
where I used to live, and there's maybe six or
seven Chess stores. They sell another good chess set.

Speaker 5 (01:24:46):
That's so cool. Handwritten notebooks are making a return.

Speaker 1 (01:24:49):
Love it. Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:24:51):
That's exciting.

Speaker 5 (01:24:52):
Love that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
Like a daily planner, too?

Speaker 5 (01:24:54):
Can we add that to the list?

Speaker 8 (01:24:55):
Why not?

Speaker 5 (01:24:55):
I know that Nate's using his daily planner.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
Yeah, I think I'm going to get one, too.

Speaker 5 (01:24:58):
And we're talking about vinyl making in return. Try this one.
Scotty B., maybe you can do this because you never
throw any equipment away. CD players are being used again.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
Do you know that they said last week, I think
there was something that came out about CDs out selling
vinyl right now.

Speaker 6 (01:25:16):
Really?

Speaker 13 (01:25:17):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 8 (01:25:17):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:25:18):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:25:18):
I still have my racks with thousands of CDs. I mean,
I haven't listened to them, but I have them. I
don't even know where I would go to buy a
CD other than online somewhere.

Speaker 5 (01:25:27):
There's still a few record stores open. I think FYE
still has some stores. There's still a few stores.

Speaker 12 (01:25:31):
New CDs?

Speaker 6 (01:25:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:25:32):
Isn't your book available on CD?

Speaker 5 (01:25:34):
It was made available on CD. I think it was, yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:25:38):
I don't know who did that. So CD players are
being used again. Analog clocks, as we were saying, they're
back in style. Because to me, an analog clock is actually,
it used to be the way we told time. Now
it's a piece of art.

Speaker 14 (01:25:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:25:50):
You know?

Speaker 10 (01:25:51):
But vinyl records, that's my favorite thing. It's a part
of the Gen Z analog revival. So Gen Z, don't
let anyone give you hell because you're not as old
and wise as them because you are.

Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
And we thank you. Gen Z, everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
Yeah!

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
Yeah!

Speaker 5 (01:26:07):
Gotta love them, gotta fire them.

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
Yeah. You make us laugh.

Speaker 5 (01:26:12):
You make us smile.

Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
It's lit. This is Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

(01:26:43):
wonder if these Hollywood.

Speaker 5 (01:26:46):
Stars, you know, they're in a relationship with other Hollywood
stars or anyone in pop culture and music, if they
really are having a happy relationship. Because, I mean, let's
face it, they're always in the public eye. They have
to travel to go shoot films and leave to go
do concerts and whatever. So Gandhi did a little studying

(01:27:06):
and she discovered there is a pop culture couple.

Speaker 9 (01:27:09):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:27:10):
That is allegedly the healthiest.

Speaker 1 (01:27:12):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 5 (01:27:13):
Like the relationship is healthy.

Speaker 7 (01:27:14):
The relationship is healthy. Now, this pop culture couple I'm
talking about, they are a fictional couple. So if you're
thinking about real couples in Hollywood, different story. But this
one is supposed to be the healthiest couple that has
ever existed that we've watched.

Speaker 5 (01:27:28):
Okay, well, let's look at the real live couples for
a second in Hollywood. Danielle, do you just picture a
couple that's in the media or whatever, and they're actually
having a great relationship?

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
So I always think Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks.

Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
Because I feel like.

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
They've been together since, I think, 1980-something. They're never in, like,
you know, you never say anything negative about the relationship.
They support each other publicly. It just seems like it's
no drama. You know, it seems like that.

Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
Got it. Now, a fictional character, a couple.

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
How about Fred Flintstone and Wilma Flintstone?

Speaker 5 (01:28:04):
Fred and Wilma.

Speaker 7 (01:28:06):
He stayed yelling at her.

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
But you know what? They make it work somehow.

Speaker 5 (01:28:10):
They do.

Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
They seem happy.

Speaker 7 (01:28:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:28:12):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:28:14):
My real life couple, I would say Zendaya and Tom Holland.
I know that they're still pretty new, but they're so
quiet about everything. They just kind of keep to themselves.
You don't know if they're married, if they're not married.
I really like them.

Speaker 5 (01:28:25):
See, I'm going with John Krasinski and Emily Blunt.

Speaker 8 (01:28:28):
Oh!

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
Yes, I love them.

Speaker 10 (01:28:30):
The thing is, I used to work out in a gym.
I wasn't friendly with them, but I saw them. They
always seemed to be just looking out for each other
and helping each other.

Speaker 5 (01:28:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
I love that.

Speaker 5 (01:28:38):
And I'm thinking.

Speaker 10 (01:28:40):
fictional, fictitional, whatever you want to call them, I'm thinking
Gomez and Morticia Adams.

Speaker 8 (01:28:45):
Yes!

Speaker 7 (01:28:46):
Okay, so that is the one that is supposedly the
most healthy relationship that we have ever watched. I mean,
he loves her so much.

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
He loves her. He worships her.

Speaker 10 (01:28:55):
This is a proven happy couple through conversation and science?

Speaker 5 (01:29:00):
What do you mean?

Speaker 7 (01:29:00):
Apparently, so there was a study done on what are
the eight pillars of solid love and healthy love, and
they're pretty interesting. And Morticia and Gomez met all of
them and executed perfectly. Apparently, they are the perfect couple.

Speaker 5 (01:29:15):
I had no idea, by the way.

Speaker 12 (01:29:16):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:29:16):
That was just your guess?

Speaker 5 (01:29:18):
Yeah, because I don't know if you're a fan of
the Addams family, but I mean, every time she would
speak French, he would go crazy and start kissing her
upper hand and upper arm.

Speaker 11 (01:29:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:29:29):
He just drives me wild. They had this love affair.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:29:33):
Every time she did anything and vice versa. I mean,
they were really into each other.

Speaker 11 (01:29:36):
Loved it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
You know who I think is really, I just think
that their dynamic is cute.

Speaker 1 (01:29:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
Claire and Phil Dunphy from Modern Family because they're just
the ying to the yang with each other and they
can be stupid together and serious together and they just
seem to have so much fun.

Speaker 5 (01:29:55):
I love them together. Froggy, who are you thinking? Real
life couple versus fictional? It's fictional, right?

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:30:05):
I mean, I would go with the same ones. I
would go with that one as far as fictitional, that
one from Modern Family. I love them together because they
are so at each other. I know everybody says that
Lisa and I are Ricky and Lucy from back in
the day.

Speaker 3 (01:30:17):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
Also, Tom Hanks and his wife, they don't ever see
any drama. Everything is just very underneath. And so I
like people that aren't always in the public eye and
always has everything they do doesn't have to be out
in the open. And it's not always critiqued. I love
that people that live under the radar, but yet are
still famous.

Speaker 7 (01:30:33):
Oh, you know, another really good fictional couple or fictitious couple,
Rip and Beth from Yellowstone. I love those two.

Speaker 5 (01:30:40):
I love those two.

Speaker 7 (01:30:42):
There's a little level of toxicity that I'm into.

Speaker 17 (01:30:45):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:30:46):
I agree.

Speaker 10 (01:30:47):
He is so tolerant of her BS. Because she's nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:30:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:30:53):
I remember one time she was going crazy, this and that.
And he says, can you just turn down the crazy
for a moment?

Speaker 10 (01:30:59):
It's one of my favorite lines. But going back to
Froggy and Lisa being Ricky and Lucy. You know, Ricky
and Lucy in real life, they fought like beasts.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
They hated each other at times.

Speaker 5 (01:31:10):
They hated each other. As a matter of fact, I
think they were actually divorced and still doing the show. Oh,
I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:16):
It was not good near the end.

Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
I didn't know that. They did not like each other
at all. I did not know that.

Speaker 8 (01:31:21):
Nope.

Speaker 5 (01:31:22):
But they're saying they still had one of the most
classic love stories of all time.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
But he cheated, and he cheated all the time. So,
I mean, that's, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:31:29):
Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 8 (01:31:31):
Oh, yes. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31:32):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 5 (01:31:33):
So, but back to the perfect couple.

Speaker 16 (01:31:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:31:36):
Gomez and Morticia Adams. Yes. What else did they have
going on that proves that they had a great relationship?

Speaker 7 (01:31:41):
Okay, so the eight pillars of love. Apparently admiration. It's
not attraction. It's thinking... I'm lucky to know this person.
There's a big difference between just being attracted to someone
and actually admiring them. Curiosity. Getting to know somebody. Knowing
that even if you think you know everything about them,
you probably don't. And still trying to figure out what

(01:32:02):
those things are about the other person that you like
and maybe just haven't explored yet. Freedom. Gomez and Morticia
definitely gave each other some freedom. It's about giving each
other space and letting them grow in ways that they
are going to maybe grow apart from each other, but
you allow it because that's just how love should be.
Emotional safety. It's supposed to be confidence that conflict does

(01:32:24):
not erase the relationship. So you can have a disagreement
and know you're still going to land back together on
the same page. Shared delight, which I think is really fun. Also,
you guys both describe love. The same things you play,
you have a fun time together. Mutual growth means that
you allow both of both people to change, which is
kind of back to the, the freedom and space repair.

(01:32:47):
Apparently this is the least sexy part, but it's the
most important part. Can you update your understanding instead of
just keeping score? So when you guys have a fight,
the goal is to get through the fight, not to
see who was right and who was wrong. It's how
do you actually solve this problem together? And then individual wholeness.
You still have your own hobbies. You have your own friends.

(01:33:07):
You do your own thing. And in doing all of that,
you are a better couple together.

Speaker 5 (01:33:11):
I like that. Yeah. Eight pillars. Will you send me
a copy of that?

Speaker 12 (01:33:14):
Absolutely.

Speaker 8 (01:33:14):
And we'll post it or something.

Speaker 5 (01:33:15):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:33:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:33:18):
Will you send me that? I want to go home
and take score about how many things we're not doing
right now.

Speaker 7 (01:33:21):
I knew you were going to do that. I just
felt it in my bones.

Speaker 5 (01:33:24):
You're a dummy. Well, I tell you. Froggy and Lisa,
we've known each other. We've all known each other a
very long time.

Speaker 8 (01:33:30):
Ah.

Speaker 5 (01:33:31):
You talk about fights you guys got into, and you
would go for the jugular with her. You would say
things just to piss her off and not to fix
the problem.

Speaker 4 (01:33:43):
I will, but I'll tell you I have learned, and
I have changed how I argue with her. And I
would say over the last year and a half, over
the last 18 months, things have.

Speaker 5 (01:33:51):
Gotten way better.

Speaker 4 (01:33:52):
I have learned how to not be as big of
an a-hole. when arguing, and I don't really care about
being right. I just care more about just moving on
and getting past it and let's have a better day.

Speaker 5 (01:34:04):
It's not about winning the fight. It's about getting through it.
When you win, you really lose. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 7 (01:34:10):
Let me ask you this. As the guys in the room,
which is sort of, I'm not sure if this is
what Froggy was saying with it, both my boyfriend and
my sister's husband were talking about how it took them
a long time to learn that the best way to
settle an argument is for them to just shut up.
And I was like, that's not great. I don't agree
with that either. And I'm like, oh, please, guys, this

(01:34:32):
whole I'm a victim thing.

Speaker 3 (01:34:33):
Shut up.

Speaker 7 (01:34:33):
Maybe you're right.

Speaker 5 (01:34:34):
Well, then which is worse?

Speaker 10 (01:34:35):
Just shutting up and ignoring the problem or going down
like a hateful road where you want to just slice
and dice each other and insult them?

Speaker 3 (01:34:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:34:47):
I think it's what's more important to you. Like, for example,
I used to want to be right. I had to,
you know, even if I even it didn't matter. I
needed to be right. Well, now peace is more important
to me than being right.

Speaker 2 (01:34:57):
I think I was the same way. Like years and
years ago, I wanted to be right. If you saw
some letters from my ex-boyfriends, every single one was them apologizing.
There's no way that they were always wrong.

Speaker 5 (01:35:07):
Wow. Interesting observation.

Speaker 7 (01:35:12):
I just like, I want to believe that I genuinely
want to solve the problem. Like whatever that problem is,
let's figure it out. It doesn't mean I'm right and
you're wrong, vice versa. We should talk about it. And
just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean that
we're fighting. It's not a fight. It can be a
disagreement without it being a fight.

Speaker 5 (01:35:28):
Well, look at this. Nate and Scary are totally silent
during this conversation.

Speaker 7 (01:35:32):
They've learned to shut up.

Speaker 5 (01:35:33):
Yeah, I've learned to shut up years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
Oh, shit.

Speaker 12 (01:35:37):
No, you didn't. That's the only way to repair things,
is to just let it subside. Just let it dissolve.

Speaker 7 (01:35:43):
That is so toxic. I'm sorry. That is horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:35:46):
Yeah, because you know what happens then?

Speaker 7 (01:35:47):
Just ignore it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
And what happens then?

Speaker 5 (01:35:49):
It festers.

Speaker 1 (01:35:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
And then eventually, everything comes out at once.

Speaker 6 (01:35:52):
Everything.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
And you remember nine months ago when you blah, blah, blah, blah.
You can't do that.

Speaker 5 (01:35:57):
Except with Skiri.

Speaker 4 (01:35:58):
I've never met anybody in my whole life that could
swim around the bowl and it didn't even happen more
than Skiri. Skiri just lets it go. It's gone. It
never happened.

Speaker 5 (01:36:05):
I'm a Teflon man. Well, I know, but if you're
in a relationship, there's someone else to consider in what
they're feeling and.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
What they're thinking.

Speaker 16 (01:36:12):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:36:13):
You should care about how they feel about things, not
just ignore it and let it dissolve.

Speaker 5 (01:36:17):
And Nate, silent Nate.

Speaker 11 (01:36:19):
Listen, I've been in therapy. I've been reading a lot
about why I am the way I am, and I
think I've realized is that I didn't stand up for
myself enough in a lot of relationships. And when you
don't stand up for yourself– You know, people just walk
all over you and it just becomes that.

Speaker 5 (01:36:37):
Other person's– Yeah, and they lose respect for you after
a while too. Yeah, and they don't respect you.

Speaker 11 (01:36:40):
And, you know, sometimes you have to have those hard conversations,
which I was always trying to be, you know, the
nice guy and side with, you know, what I thought
was the problem. But the bigger problem was the fact
that I wasn't standing up for myself. So, you know,
learn from my mistakes, people.

Speaker 1 (01:36:57):
Well, no.

Speaker 5 (01:36:58):
I mean we all make mistakes.

Speaker 6 (01:36:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:37:00):
It's the ones that just ignore the mistakes and just
move on as if nothing's happened. Well, that was, yeah, yeah.
At some point I was doing that. I'm like, well.

Speaker 11 (01:37:08):
It just, you know, you don't want to have the argument,
so you don't engage. And then by not engaging, it
just becomes a bigger problem.

Speaker 5 (01:37:15):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
All right.

Speaker 5 (01:37:17):
We'll get a copy of the eight pillars and post
that somewhere. And that was great. That's awesome. So let's
hear it for Gomez and Morticia.

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
Yeah!

Speaker 5 (01:37:26):

things in order in the house. There was Thing, Cousin It.
