Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You know, we had talk about friendships a lot, because
we're good friends, right, Yeah, And I was thinking, and
maybe wrongfully so, thinking that the older I get, the
less friends I have. And I think that's kind of
a normal thing. I guess you sort of shed. You
shed the friends that really are too chaotic and a
(00:26):
little crazy, because you don't want to live that life
like that, you know. But at the same time, I'm
growing a list of new friends. Are you guys out
there making friends still? I mean no, no, really.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Not really, Like I will all associate with my friends
friends because they kind of have already been vetted, but
go out and make my own.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Oh god, no, I've never met anybody like you, Elvis.
You make friends. You make friends standing in line at
Duncan you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
In our vacation you always have a new friend from vacation.
Oh yeah. And to that point, Danielle, I get yelled
at by Alex and what you said, Nate as well?
Stop talking to everyone? Yeah, why why you always like
cracking dad jokes with strangers? I said, well, I don't know.
This is how I am so yesterday. We have these
two new friends and they're great. We really hadn't hung
(01:17):
out with them before. We took them out to lunch
and all of our other friends met those friends and
they became friends. I love doing that. I love seeing
two people I introduced become really good friends.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It makes me.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Feel so great. But we've had this conversation before, Danielle,
I know you remember this from way back, and I think, Gandi.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
You were part of this too.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Have you ever introduced been introduced to someone by a
friend and then you become friends with them and then
the person who introduced you gets mad because you're hanging out?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Of course, for like, friend.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Poaching is what we call it? Right, stop that there's
nothing wrong with people becoming friends, right, I.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Don't think there is, But I know that a lot
of people have beef with that. They feel left out.
They're like, hey, I was I was a plug here,
I was a connection. How dare you leave me out?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I mean is it that what it's all about? Interconnectivity
with a whole group of people? And it made me
feel good anyway, So I made new friends. We have
we have new friends, and I'm sure we'll end up
traveling with them. You know us, our friends Linda and
Steven used to work at Walker's. Yeah, I mean bartender
and waiter. We took them on vacations with us. We're
(02:25):
all good friends.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, Linda was in your bridal party exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I mean, yeah, we just met him because she would
you bring me a hamburger every day.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You and I went somewhere and we were talking to
listeners and they were super nice. Everyone was drinking a
little bit, and you started giving them your phone number,
and I was like, wait, that's his actual phone number.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Because they were friends, I don't know. Did it go south?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I mean, do I still know that you have that answer?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I have no idea. What's your questions, Carrie?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
So how do you introduce a cool friend that you
might have to a group of already established friends where
you have inside jokes together and years of history and
experiences and nostalgia. Because I was trying to do that,
and I feel like when you try to merge somebody
into that group, it doesn't work out so well all
the time.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well maybe not.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
If the friends I hang out with, it's not really
about inside jokes and stuff, or there's this fun you know,
I don't know, it's fun. I love that. We had
a great day. We went out for lunch at noon
and we were there till almost eight. The whole place,
the whole place was just jumping and we had the best,
the best day. It was great. Anyway, I'm still smiling today.
(03:37):
I woke up this morning, Alice went, hey, I just
want to let you know before go back to sleep.
I had a great time yesterday. I went, yeah, me too.
We got good friends. Yeah, Nate, what's up.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I'll say this alcohol definitely accelerates the friend making because
I know the times I've been drunk, I make friends
so readily. So maybe that's the secret, Elvis. Maybe I
need to drink more. No, no, no, no, you don't
what one or two problems drinking? You know, I'm embarrassing myself,
(04:08):
and you know then that doesn't happen all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It isn't always drinking. I mean, you know, if you
if cocktails her around, I get that, but it's not drinking.
It's just being interested in someone and what they're all about.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And I think also being a trusting person, which I'm
not at all I don't trust anyone. I'm like, what
do you want?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What do I have?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
You want? Get out of here?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You're very trusting. Yeah, I think that makes a huge
difference when it comes to making friends.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Elvis, well, that's great. Con I could totally see somebody.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Like I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I'm telling you like I could, I could try and
con like, if there was a con man, I think
you would be a great mark. That is what I
think they called.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
But what what because you can be taking advantage of me,
That's what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, well I can. People say I'm a bit gullible
and I'm a little bit of a wus. I don't
tell people to get away, you know, I'm.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But I will.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I'll meet someone at a bar and we're on vacation
the next week with each other.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yes, even when I moved here and I met all
of you, you guys were all so nice, I didn't
trust it. I was like, they're going to try and
harvest my organs.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
How many times he made a new friend and he's like, hey, guys,
so and so is gonna come to the Christmas party.
We're like, who, I'm picking up strays along the road. Well, look,
you know, and someone said a text here It said, look,
you know, the world is such a lonely place and
loneliness is an epidemic, and we all agree that is
an issue. The world would be a better place if
we can all have friends like Elvis. Yeah, read, there's
(05:39):
a swinger text. I forgot about this. Somebody texted in.
Then you met those swingers who tried to kidnap you
and Alex?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You remember that? Okay?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
No, First of all, they didn't try to kidnap us.
They'd invite us to their home, and we saw through that.
We didn't go No, no, we're we're street smart, we
got that down. We're good. We're not gonna go home
strangers and have a four way What the hell is that?
Unless they were really hot?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Then right? Okay, you're right.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
So for you, how long do you have to know
somebody and how good of a relationship do you have
to have with them before you invite them to your home?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Of ten minutes?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
That's fine?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
No, no, no, no, that's not the truth. That's seventeen No,
invite them to my home? I mean it depends on
the circumstances, who they are, how we know each other,
do we have mutual for I don't know. Yeah, I
don't know. But there was a couple that we met
at a bar in Santa Fe and we invited them
to our house for drinks, and as we were driving
them up the hill, I'm so, how do you know
we're not gonna kill you.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I think this is something that's also probably very different
from men and women, because never in my life when
I think about inviting two people I met at a
bar to my home, I'd be like, they're gonna kill me.
This is it, this is how I die.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, maybe not the smartest thing, and maybe we shouldn't
be talking about that here
