(00:48):
scary splash iss day because Burrows is playing us too happy?
International Women's Day because girls's plays. So it's Elvis Durand
in the Morning show. Did you know it's International Women's Day?
(01:11):
I don't know if you heard it. Why are we
all laughing? I know why we're laughing. I just feel
like we need to highlight it. You should have a
woman running the board. Someone didn't turn the links on.
That's a well well, Elvis, Thank you guys all for
hanging out with us. Today and not leaving. I'm loving
the show. Yeah, we're having a good time. Yeah, we
still have some interviews. The interview that you guys just
(01:32):
did with Ray doctor Ray Wynn Grant, that was amazing.
They're all amazing. She's incredible. I really truly want her
to be my friend. It's an unhealthy obsession that I've had.
So I exploited International Women's Day to talk to her,
and I'm gonna do it again when I can. I'm
not gonna lie. Yeah, but we have our fabulous women here, Danielle,
(01:52):
Ali Gold, Producer Sam, Dianna Diamond in the other room
answering all the phone calls. So we thought we would
do a differ around the room today and include all
the ladies and then maybe h you, Elvis Duran if
we could. Oh, I'm not prepared. I'll come up with
something to say. All right, Danielle, you want to kick
it off shore? All right? So did you guys know
(02:13):
there was a bike lane outside of our building? Yes? Yeah,
well I didn't. You almost got run over, didn't. So
we left late yesterday. So when we leave early, this
doesn't happen. But we left late yesterday because we had
stuff going on and not one, but do people cursed
me out because I wasn't looking. And one guy was
(02:36):
on like an e bike and the other guy was
on a regular bike and they almost hit me, both
of them. They both screamed watch it out, and I'm like,
I'm so sorry, and then he turned around and cursed
me out. And now I realized there's a bike lane
and I need to be careful. Producers saying what do
I say every day that we walk out of this building. Oh,
it's not gonna be a car or a bus, it's
(02:57):
gonna be a bike. And it's going to remove one
of us from this world. I said, one of us
is getting taken out. It's going to happen. I don't
want it to. But that bike lane pops up on damn.
Oh my gosh. I'm glad you're okay. Did thank you
for both ways? Yeah? Go slowly, Ali Gold, what's up? Hey?
So this past weekend I went back and visited my
alma mater, Curcuse University class of twenty fifteen, and the
(03:19):
college radio station there is being completely run by a
board of directors of women students. So shout out to
ZD nine Radio. Shout out Grace who's running the station
right now. She's doing such an incredible job. When I
was there, it was one of three girls, and one
of my missions was to bring in more females. And
I love going back every year and now seeing a
completely female board. It's it's amazing, so nice. Congratulations, thank you, well,
(03:43):
congratulators to them. They're doing an amazing job. ZDY nine Radio.
Z eighty nine radio is your party station, I said,
D nine. We actually visited Syracuse several times and they
would have a special a day just for Z eighty nine.
Their station was much more professionally than ours, and it
was a college station. I believe that ours is a
commercial stage. I bet they remember to turn the mics on. Producer, Sam,
(04:08):
how are you. I'm doing great. I just wanted to
send some extra love to any woman who became a
mother in the past year, especially my sister Dominique, because
we all hear how hard it is, but man, o man,
watching my sister take over that role, it changes your life.
It's a chemical change. She doesn't have a life yet
at all, as she gets to jokes, she's just an
extension of her daughter, who's seven months old, and it's
(04:31):
just so impressive watching her completely boss bitch this let's
keep another being alive law that she has to follow.
It seems intense. It does seem intense. It's fun for me.
I get to hand her back. But yes, congratulations to
anyone who is entering motherhood in the last year. You
are just a freaking warrior of sorts. Absolutely, I couldn't
(04:51):
do it. That's why I don't do it. Dianna, Hi,
good morning as our video producer in case you didn't know,
but I'm pretty sure everyone else what's going on. First
of all, I just wanted to shout out all the
amazing women in my life, my mom, my best friend.
Scams screen of Corey Kristen. Love you guys if you're listening.
Like typically a man a male's job because it's involving
heavy equipment carrying that stuff. So I just wanted to say,
I see you, I feel you, I understand your pain,
I understand what you're going through and just be confident.
(05:13):
And I'm proud of everyone who is rocking it out there. Nice, nice,
proud of you, very diamond. How do I follow up
that one? I just do um so, just because today's
International Women's Day, and some of us are working harder
than we usually do. That doesn't mean that you have
to listen. Go home, take the date dead, go and
(05:35):
get your nails done, your hair done, your eyebrows, maybe
even your lashes. Pump the kids off if you have some,
put them up on somebody that you know, somebody else
that loves them, or do I mean, take a nap.
As soon as we're out of here, I'm going to bed. Yes, Diamond.
Self care very important on International Women's Day, I can't
(05:56):
do I toss it to myself. It to you, all right.
Diana sort of hit on something that I wanted to
talk about, which was in the last few days, a
couple of people have said some very nice things to me,
including a term that I think is underused, which is
I'm proud of you. And every time I hear that,
it melts me. And I think it's very important if
there are people in your life, maybe especially women today,
who you are proud of, to share that with them,
(06:17):
because it's not something that friends often say to each other.
Typically it comes from a parent, but in a professional setting,
just in life in general, to feel proud of somebody
and then share that with them it's a very big
deal and it melts me and I hope that it
melts some other people too. And to all of the
women in this room, Danielle, Ali, Producer, Sam, Dianna, and Diamond,
I'm so proud of you guys and the work that
you guys do every single day to make this show go.
(06:38):
So thanks for being amazing. I feel like I need
to read you. I talked about getting hit by a bike.
It's important. I was proud of that. Hey, women get
hit my mind. It was excellent. Yeah, this has been
a great day and continues to be. We have lots
going on. Jerry O'Connell's on the way from the talk
(07:00):
can't wait, can't wait. We're gonna play a game with him?
We are, Yeah, what is it? Let's play a family feud?
Okay with the guys. Perfect. I mean, I just say
I'm so, so so proud of all of you, as
I always am, and maybe I don't say it enough,
but I do try. Rust alone. The texts that are
coming through from our listeners, the women who are texting
in you're you're hearing on the air, maybe one one
(07:22):
thousandth of them, and they're so many, so many strong, wonderful,
wonderful women who were texting in today to check in
talking about how they're loving listening to the show and
the interviews. I just want to let you know, if
you have a chance to scroll back internally and see
some of these texts, it's NonStop. It's been on stop
for over two hours now. They love it. A lot
(07:43):
of a lot of wonderful people listening. I love that,
and I'm loving on the interviews you guys have put together.
I know we have Katie Kelsey Whitmore. She's on deck,
ready to go. Um you want to go? Yeah, let's go, Hi, Goddy.
I'm so excited. I just want you to know she
bats both and she throws right, which I think is
very important. If you don't know what I'm talking about,
I'm talking about baseball. She is a female baseball player.
(08:06):
She is an American professional baseball pitcher and an outfielder
for the Staten Island FerryHawks. The first lady to do it.
And I'm so proud and so excited to meet you. Hi, Kelsey, Hi,
how are you? Thank you for having me on. I
appreciate all you guys to love and support. Let me
tell you Danielle has been so excited about this for days.
She was like, I hope she gets back to me.
(08:27):
I reached out to her. I'm waiting on it, and
now here you are. So thank you. You're making Danielle
very happy. Yeah, and talk about being an inspiration to
girls across the world and women. Yeah on guys, because
my seventeen year old son is like, of course I
know who she is. That's awesome. No, I mean there's
there's been so much support and love out there, you know,
the past, it's gonna be coming up soon on a
(08:49):
year with everything, and I'm just I'm so blessed and
thankful for everything and the opportunities and just to be
able to grow and learn within the game. And at
the end of the day, it's just grateful to play
the game that I love. How did your love for
baseball start? And how did you decide that this is
because a lot of girls play softball? How did you
decide this is what you wanted to do? Ever since
I was a little girl, I just I always had
a ball. I was thrown I was either you know,
(09:11):
in the front yard, in the backyard and the house.
We're just with my brother. I grew up with the
younger brother, so we're always playing. Um, I just something
about baseball. You get that feeling with something they have
passion for, and there's just that feeling inside of you
that this feels right. You just go with it and
you pursue it. And so I've always had that love
and passion since i was a little girl. The thing
that I first thought of when I would wake up
(09:33):
and the last thing I think of when I go
to sleep. So it's it's just been my passion since forever.
And how do the guys treat you being the one
girl that's around them all the time or woman I
should say that's around them all the time. Yeah, no,
I mean honestly, they treated me like a bunch of
older brothers that I've never had. I was very thankful
for the respect that I was able to earn with
(09:53):
them and just the you know, the friendships that we built,
you know, on the field and off the field. They
to just have, you know, good community and friendship within them,
and they taught me so much as well. That's awesome.
But like people will say, okay, baseball it's a guy
sport and this that end up things. So how did
you break the barrier? How did you get through? I mean,
(10:14):
the goal in my mind is never like all right,
let's be the first, this first that It's like, those
are little gifts that just come along with it while
I'm trying to pursue what I want to do. I
guess the biggest thing for me is one my support system.
You got to have people that believe in you when
you don't even believe in yourself at times. And then
learning how to use maybe the negatives, maybe learning how
(10:34):
to use people that want to put you down. Use
that as fired, use that as feel to your fire,
use that as something you know, when people have something
to say that maybe when they want to beat down
my dreams, my goals, and I just say thank you,
thank you, because you're firing me up. You make me
want to get better now. So you gotta flip the script.
You have to change of perspective. You got to use
what you can that will help you in the long run.
(10:54):
And so I will just take little things here and there.
But at the end of the day, I go back
to why do I do what I do? And that
keeps me grounded, that keeps me humble within the game
to to just remember, like, I'm doing this for something
that's bigger than me. I'm doing it for the little
girl I was when I was sixty years old. I
think that's something that people need to hear. You say
it louder for the people in the back, just because
a lot of people let that stop them. They say, oh,
(11:16):
everyone says I can't do this. It takes one comments something.
You can have all these great comments, then there's that
one comment that you like, you know, you kind of
hang yourself on, which is so stupid one hundred percent.
I've had times where you're just cruising, you're on cruise
control and you're like, oh, man, okay, I'm doing good.
Like I'm not not giving into reading these comments, I'm
not listening to them, not seeing them. I'm not And
(11:36):
then there's out one that it gets under your skin
and you're like, man, I thought I was doing that.
I was doing good. Mentally, we were doing good, and
then they just had to comment get you out of
your most vulnerable times. Um and uh So I end
up making it my lock screen. I made a couple
of in my lock screen, so I look at it
in the morning and it fires me up and I'm like, Okay, Wow, Wow,
(11:56):
that's awesome. This is a good idea. Little do they
know they're on my lockscreen and so you don't know
we're talking to This is Kelsey Whitmore. She is an
amazing first professional woman to play baseball associated with Major
League Baseball. Was named the twenty twenty two USA Baseball
Sportswoman of the Year. I love following you on Instagram,
and I noticed something that you said that you like
(12:19):
to train in random places and that when someone says
to you, well I don't have the money to get
to the level that you're at, or I don't you know,
I can't do it, you say, there's always a way
to get there. Yes, absolutely, there's always a way to
get what you need done. If you don't have the facilities,
if you don't have the maybe the equipment, you don't
(12:39):
have the money to be able to get those things.
You got the heart, you got the passion, and somewhere
around you there is a field of grass and r
and you can get work in. And we already have
half the things built up in us that we need
in order to get things done. We got the body,
we have, we have the mindset, We got the heart,
We got the passion. Yes we need like maybe sometimes
equipment here and there, but there's really the way to
(13:00):
find a way. Um. So I believe anyone can find
ways to get better no matter what. That's great advice
for all the little ones and the big ones. Get
me out there, really appreciate it. Are you taking applications
to be friends? Because I would be interested. I love community.
If you for me, I support you, we could be friends,
of course. And why can you tell us before we
(13:21):
let you go? Who's your favorite Major League Baseball team? Ah?
My heart will always root for the Padres. I'm born
in San Diego and I love Petco Park. Um, but
I won't lie. I do share my love for the
Yankees as well. So it's we're there. I knew I'm
really looking for that. I give that one. I had
to give you that one. Thank you, Thank you so much.
(13:43):
So if people want to find you, how can they
find you on social media? Yeah? I'm on I'm on Instagram, Twitter,

the end of the day, it's just grateful to play
the game that I love. How did your love for
baseball start? And how did you decide that this is
because a lot of girls play softball? How did you
decide this is what you wanted to do? Ever since

younger brother, so we're always playing. Um, I just something
about baseball. You get that feeling with something they have
passion for, and there's just that feeling inside of you

you pursue it. And so I've always had that love
and passion since i was a little girl. The thing
that I first thought of when I would wake up
(09:33):
and the last thing I think of when I go
to sleep. So it's it's just been my passion since forever.
And how do the guys treat you being the one
girl that's around them all the time or woman I
should say that's around them all the time. Yeah, no,
I mean honestly, they treated me like a bunch of
older brothers that I've never had. I was very thankful
for the respect that I was able to earn with
(09:53):
them and just the you know, the friendships that we built,
you know, on the field and off the field. They
to just have, you know, good community and friendship within them,
and they taught me so much as well. That's awesome.
But like people will say, okay, baseball it's a guy
sport and this that end up things. So how did
you break the barrier? How did you get through? I mean,
(10:14):
the goal in my mind is never like all right,
let's be the first, this first that It's like, those
are little gifts that just come along with it while
I'm trying to pursue what I want to do. I
guess the biggest thing for me is one my support system.
You got to have people that believe in you when
you don't even believe in yourself at times. And then
learning how to use maybe the negatives, maybe learning how
(10:34):
to use people that want to put you down. Use
that as fired, use that as feel to your fire,
use that as something you know, when people have something
to say that maybe when they want to beat down
my dreams, my goals, and I just say thank you,
thank you, because you're firing me up. You make me
want to get better now. So you gotta flip the script.
You have to change of perspective. You got to use
what you can that will help you in the long run.
(10:54):
And so I will just take little things here and there.
But at the end of the day, I go back
to why do I do what I do? And that
keeps me grounded, that keeps me humble within the game
to to just remember, like, I'm doing this for something
that's bigger than me. I'm doing it for the little
girl I was when I was sixty years old. I
think that's something that people need to hear. You say
it louder for the people in the back, just because
a lot of people let that stop them. They say, oh,
(11:16):
everyone says I can't do this. It takes one comments something.
You can have all these great comments, then there's that
one comment that you like, you know, you kind of
hang yourself on, which is so stupid one hundred percent.
I've had times where you're just cruising, you're on cruise
control and you're like, oh, man, okay, I'm doing good.
Like I'm not not giving into reading these comments, I'm
not listening to them, not seeing them. I'm not And
(11:36):
then there's out one that it gets under your skin
and you're like, man, I thought I was doing that.
I was doing good. Mentally, we were doing good, and
then they just had to comment get you out of
your most vulnerable times. Um and uh So I end
up making it my lock screen. I made a couple
of in my lock screen, so I look at it
in the morning and it fires me up and I'm like, Okay, Wow, Wow,
(11:56):
that's awesome. This is a good idea. Little do they
know they're on my lockscreen and so you don't know
we're talking to This is Kelsey Whitmore. She is an
amazing first professional woman to play baseball associated with Major
League Baseball. Was named the twenty twenty two USA Baseball
Sportswoman of the Year. I love following you on Instagram,
and I noticed something that you said that you like
(12:19):
to train in random places and that when someone says
to you, well I don't have the money to get
to the level that you're at, or I don't you know,
I can't do it, you say, there's always a way
to get there. Yes, absolutely, there's always a way to
get what you need done. If you don't have the facilities,
if you don't have the maybe the equipment, you don't
(12:39):
have the money to be able to get those things.
You got the heart, you got the passion, and somewhere
around you there is a field of grass and r
and you can get work in. And we already have
half the things built up in us that we need
in order to get things done. We got the body,
we have, we have the mindset, We got the heart,
We got the passion. Yes we need like maybe sometimes
equipment here and there, but there's really the way to
(13:00):
find a way. Um. So I believe anyone can find
ways to get better no matter what. That's great advice
for all the little ones and the big ones. Get
me out there, really appreciate it. Are you taking applications
to be friends? Because I would be interested. I love community.
If you for me, I support you, we could be friends,
of course. And why can you tell us before we
(13:21):
let you go? Who's your favorite Major League Baseball team? Ah?
My heart will always root for the Padres. I'm born
in San Diego and I love Petco Park. Um, but
I won't lie. I do share my love for the
Yankees as well. So it's we're there. I knew I'm
really looking for that. I give that one. I had
to give you that one. Thank you, Thank you so much.
