Speaker 1 (00:02):
For what would you talk about on your on your
podcast firm Elvis Presents fifteen Minute Morning Show. Had got something?
I got something? Well, you're you're by the gold mic
introduced everyone. It's Scary here on Elvis's gold Mic. I'm
(00:22):
not worthy. That's Gandhi, there's Brody, There's Garrett, and Danielle
is hanging out. Hello, Hi, we're here. It's a fifteen
minute morning show podcast which, by the way, if you're
listening on iHeart Radio yesterday, sorry, we didn't deliver the
podcasting went to all the other you know, went to
Apple and went to all these you know, yes I did,
(00:43):
because we got some feedback on it, but it did
not print I Heart. But today it's been published fixed.
It was a glitch. There was a glitch in the system.
It's the system's fault, alright, had to reboot. So you're
probably listening to two podcasts today. I had a dilemma
yesterday and I was gonna come in here and ask
everyone's opinion, and Scary just made a comment that answered
(01:04):
my question for me. But I'll let you guys decide now.
So I came in the room and uh, because I
was gonna set up my topic, and I said, hey, Danielle,
are your kids on TikTok right, because she has kids
or teenagers, young teenagers early teens like I do, and
uh before daniel was like, yeah, they're on occasionally. And
I was about to ask my question and Scary said
(01:24):
that Scary would you say? Said yeah, I was on
there for about an hour and a half yesterday. I
fell into a rabbit hole watching people like, uh, you know,
doing all these dances and then taking funny audio sound
bites and then doing their interpretation of it. Yeah. No,
I've had a TikTok account back when it was before
they merged with Musically. It used to be music dot
l y and that's where I made my account. And
then it kind of like when TikTok took over, they
(01:47):
brought the whole world and asking I got the account
for an hour and a half. I have not posted
anything to TikTok because it requires a lot of time,
and it really doesn't not a lot of time creat
it's seventeen seconds. Gandhi. No, how would you describe the
typical audience of TikTok? Typical not I would say between
the ages of nine and fifteen. No, here's the thing. TikTok,
(02:16):
like every other social media that we've ever had, always
starts with a younger set, younger demographic, and then moves
to older people. There was a time when I was
on Facebook, when Facebook was only for colleges and people Facebook,
You're on Facebook. I remember the entire room like jumping
(02:37):
down my throat because I was on Facebook and it
was it's just for college kids. You're not in college.
And then guess what happened as the as the days
and weeks went by and months, Facebook became well, now
you know now our grandparents. So you're saying you have
a history of being an inappropriate place, the history of
being ahead of the current. I think he's trying to
call himself a first adopter. Yes, I'm a first adapter.
(03:00):
Adopt dateline and TikTok account for years to this time.
Last year, we were like posting stuff and I just
was looking at the content on it and I'm like,
this place is not for me. I'm not going to
hang out of here. I have no interest in watching
people lip sync to stuff that I listened to other radio.
They even had sales come to us and say, hey,
would you guys post something for a client they want you.
(03:21):
The whole thing is around a TikTok and I'm like,
I am going to look at him more on doing
a TikTok video. So I'm not gonna there's nothing worse
than than the grown ups like sliding in like, hey kids,
I'm cool. Took hold on. So, Danielle, you just told
that story, right, Yeah, do we have an ending to
that story? Yeah? They gave it to Scary because I
talk and I basically said scary, we'll do it. Okay.
(03:45):
So look, TikTok is a great app if if it's
for you, and I think our morning show should probably
start a TikTok account. I think TikTok. I think if
we did some videos ironically or funny, that would be fine.
The point was my question was going to be, you
know what your question is gonna because you're a concerned
(04:05):
parent of three kids. Yeah, so yes, I'm out there. Yeah, yeah,
I'm looking at so I'm gonna ask that question now.
My middle daughter, who's a teenager, general teenage, all three
of them, my middle daughter is is a huge user
and enjoyer of TikTok. She's very funny. She puts a
very funny videos makes me laugh. I'm very proud of
her and impressed by her creativity. She asked me this week, Hey, Dad,
(04:30):
you know, can you promote my page? I only have
very few followers, and I know what your social media following.
It would really help my account now as a loving
as a loving father, I want to help her out,
but I also don't want to promote where she lives,
where I live, what my house looks like, what she
looks like, any of that. You can't do it. And
before I asked that question, Scary says, Oh, I was
(04:52):
on there for an hour and a half last night.
You answered my question. I'm not doing it, Okay. I
think you're absolutely right to not do it. I've had
some little kiddos in life asked me if I would
post their stuff on my page, and I say no,
And especially after we all just watched don't work with cats.
The way people analyze your stuff that you don't even
think about. They try to figure out where you live,
what your addresses, what's your phone numbers? They post this crap.
(05:13):
No way if I had kids, would I let what
I promoted on this station or with our social media?
They will zoom in she's right on like the teniest,
teniest minute detail in the background and figure out like
the for Mica on that counter was made in nineteen
seventy three, so that means they can only be in
this area. I honestly, it is the zooming in on
(05:34):
your mail address. They'll find what kind of credit cards
you have. If these people are that into it, they're
just gonna do a little bit too much. It Actually
that documentary made me want to docuseries. Sorry, made me
want to deactivate all of my stuff. I know we
can't because of work, but as soon as I don't
have this job anymore, I'm getting off all of it.
I just think it's creepy. It's it's a little I
(05:56):
felt that. What I'm saying is I fell down a
rabbit hole because I watched you know, all the rabbits scary.
But but he's making making a kid jokes, you know what,
they're jokes, scary jokes. They're they're describing that they're finding,
you know, address, Like if they were opposed, they would
find the address. You're not. You're not cropping photos to
(06:17):
zoom in on them to see. Let's just put that
out there. How do I know no, you're not no.
I was no, Hell's no. You like hearing renegade fifteen
seconds over and over and over and over again. Well,
I like to see what people can do with a
piece of audio. See, Garrett had a great idea combined
with an idea that I had, and I think I
personally think we should take moments from our phone taps
(06:38):
and load the audio, load that audio onto TikTok and
let people do their interpretation of the scene. I think
it would be brilliant. This is how you use TikTok
and bring it to the next level and bring Elvis
to rand Show into it and get us involved at
the same time. Maybe. But let's not forget there was
a giant data rates from TikTok last year where everybody's
(06:58):
infol got out and that was like a big problem
for people with kiddos. I'm just saying, right, I mean stuff. Listen,
look at my account at Skeery Jones. I am not
even promoted then. No. My point is if you look,
you will see it's zero videos posted. They posting the
(07:22):
video is not the problem. It's going on for an
hour and a half. It is a rabbit hole. Though
Noble and bunny Hole. You can't go you can't go
on TikTok and just go all right, I'm good. It's
like Pringles. You can't just have one you watch. Yeah,
the way it's set up, the way they added you know,
you know, you can go horizontal, vertical, you could look
(07:43):
at you know, you know, the gateway. I could say
the same thing about Door the Explorer episodes. You watch one,
you can't wait to watch, but you shouldn't be watching
Door They Explorer. No. The point is I'm not looking
at I'm not saying, oh, here's a person's profile. I
want to see all of their TikTok's what I want,
like is I like to take some of the audio.
But let's say they doing like the Missy you know,
Missy Elliott lose control. We were talking about that this morning.
When you know that, I want to see America's take
(08:06):
on that those seventeen second it's not yeah, but it's
more than that, because there are certain things that they do.
There's this one someone uploaded on audio of the days
of the Week song I'm saying, the months of the
year song, and it was like January, February, March. It
was like literally taken from like a kid's album, like
a kids bop thing, and it was uploaded and people
(08:29):
are very funny and very creative what they did from
month to month January February March April. It started with
a split screen of single versus taken, so people would
go across the room January, February, March, Oh, I'm single,
now go to the other side of the room. But
then no, no, But but then other people were just like,
you know, pictures throughout the year we're talking about. I
(08:52):
feel like if you had Disney Plus one, woman was
showing how she you know, how she started one month pregnant,
two months pregnant, and then the baby came, and then
you I think, I think there's a lot to learn
from people, and I think that this is where people
are as a great outlet for creative, very talented talent.
That's that. Okay, what you just said is like my
(09:13):
problem with all social media right now, and I think
of becoming that person who is like you, guys have
so much time to dedicate to this fuckery and you're
not out there learning and actually doing the things that
are important with your life. We're beginning to sound like
our parents maybe your parents were right. This is I
embrace everything beautiful. Like I am the youngest one in here,
(09:37):
and I am saying I just don't like it. I
don't think. I don't think any of us need to
go out of our way to try to Okay Garrets
a little older than me, but I don't think anyone
has to go out of the way to be somebody
that they're not or trying to keep up with the kids.
I think that makes you look dumb, not you, but
anybody if it's just not genuinely within you to be that,
don't be that. The equivalent of our parents would be
them sitting in a car by a schoolyard and telling
(09:58):
the officer, look, how creative the kids are. I'm watching
them look looking away they play. What My second point
here is I think TikTok. You know, if you listen
to this, you're listening to this podcast a year, two
years later, who knows uh. You might think the whole
thing is outdated because like Facebook, like snapchat, like other
forms of media that started as you know, our younger,
(10:21):
a younger demo. I think that more it will be
more mainstream, and it is becoming more mainstream by the
by the minute, and I think that older people are
going to adopt it now now who, I don't know.
What does that do today? I don't have the time
to put in I don't have the time to put
in the make a video. You take naps, you know,
yeah that client. Now, well, I will no, I will
(10:42):
do what's asked of me, and I will actually try.
But I can't do four videos. Okay, these people are
doing like hours. If you were hanging out of school
yard and your defense to the officer was someday this
will be a shopping mall, that wouldn't cut it. Now
you can't say I'm on TikTok with fifteen year old
girls because someday thirty year old guys will be here.
That is not true because right now you're saying how
(11:03):
there's older people. It's it's already. It's already spread into
the college circuit and beyond. So you watched an hour
and a half or six times you're on Ticketok, adults
are on TikTok. When it was musically like, it's not
that the youth just found it. And now you're talking
it's like you're hating this awkward. It's it's terrible. You're
saying that only fourteen year old girls are on it.
(11:25):
That's not true. Summer sixteen. Some Just just because your
your your daughter's doesn't mean that that adults aren't on
it and have already adopted it. When you watched for
an hour and a half, how many forty year old
guys were doing TikTok's, No, my swipe passed a lot
of ship. I don't just don't you only watched the
fifteen year old No, exactly not. I think that maybe
right now, the fourty year old guys you see making
(11:47):
TikTok videos are the ones that are like, I have
to appear youthful. They're saying, someday other forty year olds
will be here. I'm gonna be I'm gonna be ahead.
Maybe I feel like we're doing Brooklyn boys. I think
if you want to be on tike, well, thank you.
I'm just I think I think you're completely off base. No,
I and I think you and I think this is
(12:08):
going to go the way of the what is internet?
You know conversation where Katie Kirk and Brian Gumbulo saw
on the Today's Show. Don't they don't know what the
word internet? Is, and they don't because at the time
it sounded stupid. But now I'm telling him, but being
on the cutting edge of TikTok doesn't mean watching, it
means creating videos. We're already on a path create videos. Well,
(12:29):
I'm gonna have to put some time in like he's
a client. That's what I will be I will be doing.
Can you talk about what you have to do for
this tick talking? We are not talking. We don't. It
hasn't closed, nothing is final yet, nothing is fine. You
can make all the fun you want. I think if
you want to do it, do it. I just think
nobody should ever do anything because they feel like they
(12:51):
have to keep up with somebody else. I'm not don't.
I'm not doing it for that. I'm just I'm kind
of curious. I'm like, look, we're a pop culture media outlet.
We should be on the cusp of all things pop culture.
But it didn't take an hour and a half to
be on the custom of pop culture and the funniest
stuff that a lot of us are not on the
cusp of of pop culture, that I think are far
more important and more like pervasive into the pop culture
(13:13):
than TikTok, Like like you're not watching high School Musical,
the musical the show. There's a lot of music that
they don't play, and we don't acknowledge. There are a
lot of artists, a lot of actors, a lot of
TV shows, like all kinds of stuff that is very
pop culture relevant, and we don't address that either. True
true story, no listen, A case can be made for that.
I'm just saying that. Regarding TikTok and me falling through
(13:34):
a foxhole, it's because it is very addicting because you
just you just keep one swipe and then boom, the
next video starts. One swipe the next video. It's like
watching YouTube videos or Netflix when one episode ends and
all of a sudden, two seconds later, you're already into
the next episode, because that's the way it's set up.
It's set up to pull you in. It is. By
the way, if you have a chance listening to this podcast,
(13:55):
go ahead and google addicting versus addictive. Interesting interesting anyway, Danielle, Yeah,
your kids are on TikTok. Yeah, a little bit, not crazy.
They're starting. They watched that The Girl more than anything, Charlie,
she's like the biggest thing we're trying to get on
our show and it's not returned to my email yet.
(14:15):
Yea Connecticut or something she is, and she was aing
and my kids, all of our kids, all of our
kids got pictures with it. I thought it was crazy
how the line to meet her was longer than some
of the artists. And I said, I met up with
her in the bathroom when she commented on my shoes
and we were talking and I said, whatever you're doing,
keep doing it. I said, you're it's amazing to me
(14:37):
that you have this following, and she she smiled, and
she was chatting about it because I know it's She
even said it's crazy. So there you go. All right,
did you followed Charlie? I follow her on Instagram? I
think no, I did not. You need to follow her.
