Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
Firm Elvis represents show. I really love it when we're
we're juggling topics before the podcast even starts. That's how
you know it's going to be an explosive podcast. Well,
(00:22):
we've got a text message problem, we've got a Google problem,
we've got people hate Gandhi problem, and we've got would
I hired Danielle problem? Intern? Where do we begin? Where
to start? You pick it scary since you're over there
with no time. Well, I think we should start now.
I think we should start with what Gandhi seeing in
real time right now. So I have to set the
(00:43):
text mession. Somebody texted in fire Gandhi. She's terrible, she's
the worst. I hate her, so I so I wrote
the person back and I said, we're not gonna make
uh employees. We're not gonna make personnel decisions based on
your text gonna fire Gandhi. We love Gandhi's he's fantastic.
And to be honest, not everything is for everyone. If
she's not your competation, she has different opinions than you have,
(01:05):
that's fine, but you don't need to be rude. I'm
that rude. Everyone orc hates her. So I said, oh,
we're playing the everyone I agrees with you general eyes
reporting for you. You know, like when some people go,
a lot of people are saying right, No one's saying
but you okay. So then she says, actually there are
national blogs that don't like her, national blogs. I've made
(01:26):
it national blogs and Facebook pages. See the way I
would responded back to this text just to really mind that,
you know what, be right back, hold on and then
just leave it like that fired. Right. For the record,
it takes at least two text messages to get me fired,
so said I said, goda you gonna google like look
(01:49):
this up? No, I don't care. That lasted an hour
and a half. Do you know of your brody analogies
of how this would play out at another workplace where
someone just makes a suggestion to have someone fired. So
it's like ground So it's like like you're a one
direction fan and you don't like Zane and writing the
fan club and go could you get rid of Zane?
I don't like him, exactly diet. Ultimately, ultimately they did,
(02:12):
but not because somebody, I mean, he quit the band does.
And here's the thing why are people complaine? Like, what
is there to complain about your problem? Because your opinion
and you're strong. Right, here's the thing, and people you
are scared of that. You can have an opinion unless
your opinion is different than mine, right, That's why people
are So if you talk politics, you're an asshole. If
you talk politics, it's different than me. But if you
(02:32):
said what I agree with, Oh, I love that they're
strong minded. Right. So we were talking about holidays or whatever,
a Christmas I don't know, and Dannie said something from
a different perspective. She's not Christian, she said, I don't
know what it was, and I don't even know if
that's what set the woman off. I don't know. He's like,
I hate Do we know if it's a woman. Yes,
Also this woman, I looked at her text history. She
(02:53):
hates Lizzo. Never play Lizzo again again, a miserable human.
Your text message is not gonna stop up your radio
station for paying Lizzo? Is this also the equivalent of
going up to the DJ at a club and telling
the DJ what to play, which, by the way, we
all know DJs asked him for a song and never
getting That's how this whole thing started. Yeah, and then
(03:17):
I did so Brody said, Google and you'll find these
national blogs. So I typed in a bunch of different words.
I typed in, I hate gandhi Elvis Duran show. And
then this reddit feed popped up and it actually was
super nice. Yeah, it was like, all, this is nice,
there's no problem. Oh it took a turn, but was
super funny to me about this. Obviously, whoever these people
are who are posting their big fans of the show
(03:37):
in general, but all of their guesses about things are
so inaccurate that I almost want to respond to them
and be like, well, you're so far off on the
hate posts from now when you started. Uh this is
from seven days ago. Uh yeah, these are like a
day ago, six days ago. You know. Celebrities do this
a lot, where they go on We'll know they answer
(04:00):
the internet questions about that. Yeah, I mean I kind
of want to write back. So this one person actually
says where did it go? It was something about Froggy,
how Froggy must not like me, but he goes out
of his way to try and laugh when I say something,
and obviously it's because of pity. Oh, here says does
anyone else. Notice that Froggy lays it on thick when
it comes to responding to Gandhi. He seems to go
(04:20):
out of his way to laugh at everything he says,
to everything she says. Today he said there's always room
for you Gandhi when they were talking about Elvis's latest book.
I doubt he likes her? What so? I wan he
was here right now here. If he didn't laugh, it's
because he doesn't like you. But he's laughing because he's
pretending like your There's never occurs to this person that
(04:43):
the option is he likes her. It's so ridiculous, which
Froggy and I are cool like that. That's so whoever
wrote this? Who is this? Posted by Melly f Baby?
You wrong? Oh? And then she went on to say,
Froggy and Gandhi bother me. Oh you to your year.
I've been here twenty five years and people have been
writ and hate ship on the web. I'm sorry forever sorry.
(05:06):
It was you and your mom, the two of you,
nobody you know, outside of doing something wrong internally at
the station. This is I'm not gonna if you don't
like one of us or two of us or whatever
you got the rest of us. Can I get it.
It's when you start thinking, you know what's going on
here and Nutant just listened to the show and out
(05:28):
having conspiracy theories. Oh, clearly, Nate's taking time off because
you're looking for another job. We have stroke. They're covering
and saying he had a stroke because you're looking from
the job. Are you kidding? We we cover and say
someone had a stroke, they go, I don't think I'll
go Johnny's really I think it's a scam. But this
pictures of another way anything about me. So you know
(05:48):
there's articles going around saying he had a second heart attack.
Again it was started by this threat. I'm sure. I'm
sure people we are the most honest radio show, maybe
in America, because I know a lot of radio shows
and I listened to them, and I know that they're
not always telling the truth. They make stuff up, they
fake stuff. We we are honest about our lives, and
people like love us for that. There's always something going
(06:09):
I don't need to tell about kids. I don't cat
we know. We know older morning shows who don't exist anymore.
Where the co host hated each other several and one
where one guy tried to get another guy fired, and
people like I think, you know, I've seen blogs on
those shows, and I'm like, oh my god, I'm sitting
there with like Michael Jackson with the popcorn and the
driller video, you have no clue and Rainbow. When Elvis
(06:36):
gotten nominated to the put into the Radio Hall of Fame,
a two guy team was nominated put into the Radio
Hall of Fame as well. Only one of them showed
up because the other guy hated the other guy so much.
You don't want to show up. You don't want with
a Michael Jackson gift. I would have went with the
Kermit the frog sipping. I would have went, No, I'm
more Michael Jackson thriller video guy, not the popcorn party.
Be eating the popcorn is the best one. And if
(06:57):
you knew this show, like you would know like Greg
t left the show because he had a great opportunity
to host his own show, right, not because he was
pushed out him. Right. If there's something, well, you know what,
let's let's do something. Because you know, you type into
(07:18):
the show into Google, things come up. So let's let's
answer some questions. So I type in Scary Jones into Google.
Scary Jones his wife. Do you have a wife that
we don't have a wife. That's what someone someone is
confusing me with Greg T I have a girlfriend. I
don't have a wife. I don't have kids right alone.
You might have kids, you just don't know about it.
Let's let's go over to Danielle Danielle. So you type
(07:41):
in Daniel Manaro into Google. First thing that comes up
is salary, and then second one comes up posh mark.
But speaking of Daniel salary, I know things are relative,
like whatever you make it for your life and you're
living and his different rates of pay in different parts
of the country, different costs of living. So in in
(08:04):
say it's a small town, X amount of dollars might
seem like a lot of body, right. So anyway, so
I saw a post that said, I bet Daniel makes X.
I I heard she's like really rich, it makes X,
and I thought, but it was it was actually so
much less than she actually makes. And then this goes
(08:26):
what we were just saying about just people assuming their
own ending Gandhi. Is she really the great granddaughter of Gandhi?
The answer is yes. I just love the fact people
would actually your father's father's father. She's a liar. Today.
Yesterday Elvis was telling the story about how he had
to tell Idina Menzel that the reason Gandhi's name is
Gandhi is that she's the great great granddaughter of Gandhi.
(08:47):
Somebody texted it and said, why do you guys make
that ship up? They said, hold on, They said, Gandhi
only had so and so amount of grandsons. They only
had two two grandsons, and none of neither one of
them is a girl. And I said, she's the great
great granddaughter. Therefore, one of the two great grandsons you're
talking about had a daughter. Whatever I say. I don't
(09:10):
know if that's right or not, but one of the
great grandsons could be her grandfather or her father or
whatever it was. So you don't know, dick, Like you're
still why didn't we don't know about something that's so
easy to look up? Okay, by the way, people listening
to this podcast, this is the one. We want you
to share the link on all these fucking threads, whether
(09:32):
it be Reddit, is there, Facebook wants the life we
look and share this link to clear ship up. We're
having a holiday party. What is it next week? Whatever. Okay,
you know, let's find out on the group they know. Yeah,
so Elvis went over the guest list with us, and
(09:53):
there's a lot of people invited to the party that
aren't members of this morning show, from other radio stations,
and we're already talking about what people can go. Well,
how call this person wasn't invited. Apparently that person wasn't
invited because they hate them. Yeah, it's not the case.
There are people who are invited who we know will
be in town. There are people who are invited who
work in this building we see every day. There's no
there's no secret plots, there's no animosity, there's no backstory.
(10:17):
There's just people having a holiday party like you would
have a holiday. Point. Just let us have Holi party,
all right, Let's go back to Google real quick. Don't
get mad at me saying holiday party because it's Holi party.
Talk about a couple of the other posts. So some
people think that I was only brought in as a
diversity higher. Some people think they are giving me a
year and obviously it's been over a year, suckers. Well,
(10:39):
especially your contract doesn't right out for the few I'm
talking about that contract. Sorry, y'all I'm around for a while. Yeah,
but it's pretty clear she has a polarizing effect on listeners.
I'm wondering how long it will be before I heart
strongly encourages every every everyone that's typing that you'd be
gone in the year. The same person that probably says, oh, yeah,
(11:02):
I have a black friend. Why can't it be that
she was the actual best person for the job. Why
is that Why is nobody coming to that defense? That's
too easy? Yeah, that would be too easy, silly, and
that's not fun for the Internet. I know we should
actually jump in here with like an anonymous thing and
start spreading more. I don't want to get into again
how this happened. But Gandhi replaced the whitest woman on
(11:23):
the planet in Bethany. Bethany replaced a Hispanic Carolina. Carolina
replaced a really white Christine. There's no there's no like
check mark for who sits in that chair. Let's tell you.
Here's what I'll tell you how it happened. Yeah, So
Gandhi comes in and I said to Elvis, I just
we just want and then Elvis brought in other people,
which they were very nice, and then Elvis said, so
(11:44):
what do you think? And I said, I want Condi
and then Elvis would just called me on the phone.
So no, I want Gandhi. Can tell Gandhi she's hired.
He goes, we haven't hired Jerry yet. I I don't care.
Let's just tell us. And I voted for Gandhi, thank you.
And I made my vote very out for Gandhi. Thank you.
That's so nice of you guys to add that I've
been friends with Gandhi eight years and the white girl
(12:09):
instead of eight years ago. There was not a thing, right.
I do kind of want to respond to these but
I also kind of just want them to keep talking. There.
We've been checking what great Tea has been up to
because I have a feeling that's funny. Here's the thing,
there's something for everyone on this show. Some people love
Scary more than anyone. Some people love Brody Moore, some
(12:30):
people love Gandhi more. It's it's there's something for everyone.
You're not gonna like everyone, You're not going to make
everyone happy. When I first started on your full time,
remember what happened? People shut off the radio on the morning.
I can't could I continue? Thank you? I ran down
(12:51):
the staircase when we were in a different building and
I was crying, and Elvis said to me, you got
your first bit of hate mail. You're supposed to aim
it and go from there. And I said, all right,
you're right, and I kept that was years ago the US.
I'm still here. He interrupted you because he clearly doesn't
like you. Hate you jackass. This is all a play.
(13:13):
It's just it's disgusting because the type of people that
are that I see on these rants with small percentage,
but it's these ones that you see on these national
whatever read it wherever you are. I picture a kind
of person like that. I paint the portrait in my head,
go ahead, kind of person. Someone looks like someone with
no life, someone who's like probably in their sixties maybe seventies. No,
(13:38):
no offense to people, and that's not an ages I think.
I don't think they've got nothing to do. And the
Facebook pages one, OK, I'm just saying it's just scary.
Secretly hates old people. Yes, put in there. I think
there's a couple of things everybody should think about before
they go hate on somebody online or just in general. One,
(13:59):
the more you talk about us, the better it is
for us. So you can hate or love it doesn't matter.
As long as you continue to say anybody's name, you're
forwarding the momentum. So thank you for that, for whatever
it is. Second of all, Rihanna once posted something that
is so true, and it said, one week they love you,
the next week they hate you. Both weeks you got paid.
And that's all this little chatter can keep going. I
(14:22):
genuinely mean it doesn't bother me. It makes me laugh.
And if they think this is the first time I've
heard it, think again. I've been in this for a
long time. It happened when I was in Boston. It
just happens. Happen when you were in Colombe. But I
thank all of you trolls because you are helping me
to gain more fame and to get more money. So
thank you. Whatever you like, somebody hates your favorite artist,
somebody hates your favorite restaurant, somebody hates it. It's like
(14:46):
a picture on a baseball. If they do great, you
love them. If they ship the bet, you hate them.
The next they got paid to minute morning show ship
on Reddit
