Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Talking a second ago about having your parents washing your
mouth out with soap. Yeah, and Gandhi's like, I don't
know if I can handle that, And Danielle said, Yeah,
when you were a kid used to get your mouth
washed out with soap. And I can't imagine why, because
you were the potty mouth of all body mouth.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
It happened.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
I don't know if it happened once or twice, but
I remember it happening. Oh yeah, all fine, and it
gets in your teeth.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
I got it with a dial soap. Yellow dial soap
tastes terrible, you know. But you know, there's there's something
very dramatic about the bar soap, and but no one
has bar soap anymore. It's like you'd use cleansing something
with the stuff in your mouth exactly. They just shoot
it in there.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yeah, body works in your mouth exactly.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
God, someone said a text in Uh, not only did
I have to get the bar soap in my mouth,
I had to bite on it and hold it in
my mouth of the timer that was set to however
old I was, For instance, if I was sixteen, I'd
just sit there for sixteen minutes, would soap in my mouth?
Oh gosh, wow.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
No for my parents just putting their hands on me
for that, know.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
You beat me and at my age, I hadn't sit
here with an hour was soap in my mouth. I
don't know if I'm ready for that. We were actually
talking about the awful, awful things your mom and dad
would do to you to punish you. And do you
remember the time we were talking about this on the show.
There's a thing out there and maybe some texting if
this has happened to you when you were a kid. Anyway,

(01:30):
some kid would act up. The mother would put rice
raw rice on the floor and make them kneel on
it and stay on their knees on the rice for
a period of time. Apparently that was very painful.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
That sounds painful. It's like this is a glass.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
I feel like this is like a fraternity thing.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, they're hazing me, I know, but you know, I'm
okay with fried rice. It's nice and soft. Yeah, frog.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
I get in trouble at my grandma's house and I'd
have to go outside and get a switch, which is
like a piece off of a tree. And if you
didn't get a good enough one. She would walk out
there and get her own, so you would get your
chance to get one, or she'd go get one, and
that was always the worst.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Damn wow. So yeah, I was never spanked. I was
only at one time they tried the bar soap in
my mouth thing because I think, you know, it's like
all the parents were doing it. It was so hip, But
I was. I was never really reprimanded beyond just you know,
being screamed at me. Well it shot spontaneous and just

(02:37):
smacked spontaneous just out of nowhere.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
My mom would come, wait, if you didn't do anything
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Do, you know, if I had, if I would misbehave just.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Get a look and then that hear the belt unbuckling,
I'd be like, oh, here we go, my.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Pants because my dad was my dad was a tall guy,
big guy, and he would just lift My mother would
go go and take careen. My dad woud always like
what the hell am I doing? He didn't even know
why we were in trouble, and he would just pick
He would just like go near me and pick me up,
and I'd beat my pants and I'd be it.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh my god. Then he's like, oh god, he's paying
her pants. I'm never going to do that again. I
got Caroline online too. Uh, Caroline had very unusual punishment
when she used fouling. Would you hate Caroline? Welcome to
the show. How are you feeling today?

Speaker 6 (03:22):
Hi, good morning. I'm glad that I'm not swearing right now.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Feel free and we're not going to punish you here.
But what was your punishment growing up when you were cursing?

Speaker 6 (03:31):
So, my mom got tired of doing the soap in
the mouth, so she would actually make us stand in
the corner if we said a bad word and say
it until she told us to stop. So, like, there'd
be times we'd be sitting in the corner, like we'd
say the F word and we'd be like, oh, f
F f F. You know, we'd be laughing, and she'd
be like, no, no, keep going, and you'd be like,

(03:52):
all right, there for half an hour saying the F
word until she tells you to stop.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Shouldn't that's bizarre. I've never heard of that one movie? Yeah, yeah, Hey,
you know, Barbara, why is little little Caroline in the
corner saying the F word over and over? Well, she's
being punished for saying the F word okay, but it
would make you, I mean psychologically, it would take you
to a place where you start crying.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, because you'd literally be there for
like fifteen twenty thirty minutes just saying the F word,
and you're like, I never want to say this word again.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I could totally see how that happens, because then when
you go to say it, you get that memory in
your head, so you don't say it right exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
All right, that's some like deep crazy psychological warfare going on.
All right, Well, thank you, Caroline. Do you use the
F word anymore? Is it all over you? In the
F word?

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Oh? No, I definitely use it.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, me too. It's my favorite word. I love it.
I'm surprised we don't say it more around these parts.
Thank you, Caroline, have a good day. Thanks for listening.
Line one. Now this is weird. I don't know if
I can handle this. Hey, Laura, you would not get
your mouth washed out with soap. What would they do
with the bar soap?

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (05:02):
If I talked back to my mom, she would take
that bar soap and like rub it all in my mouth,
grape it off, and be like on my teeth I'd.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Be crying with snaw and soap and it was it
was a warfare.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Or they would actually they would shove the whole bar
of soap into your mouth.

Speaker 8 (05:18):
Well not the whole bar, but like she would get
like a good half of the bar and.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
It made sure I really like she really got in
there and like rubbed around the whole mouth, kept my
mouth closed.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah, I realized, and my mom did do that the
one time, same exact thing. Have remember being all over
my teeth.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
And all when you choke on it, like I don't
shot a dad start down there?

Speaker 7 (05:37):
But well no, no it's not that far. It's just enough,
just enough that you get the point.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, I surprised my moth to all right, well, thank
you very much? Or yeah, yeah, soap's expensive. Can't you
find another way to punish your kid? Maybe it's not
that expensive? What is it like forty five cents of
bar soap? Matt Is on nineteen nine nineteen had a
very unusual punishment. I love unusual punishment stories. Hi, Matt, Hey,

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Oh you're going down mayonnaise highlands. Hey, these guys are
so mean to me.

Speaker 3 (07:19):

Maleo sandwich where it was kind of like a warm,
gooey mayo, or if it was a cold Mayo sandwich.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
See. Oh god, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked. Cut
me off next time before I go further. Oh, there
she goes.

Speaker 5 (07:33):

hated it up, it'd be like that, almost like a.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
No, no, no, really, I really want to get on

making this difficult for the host over here? I got

Speaker 2 (07:54):
What you're You're wearing a very absorbent look shirt today
to Carlos. Listened to Carlos on line twenty. What he
had to do? Now, I don't know if he got
caught smoking. Is he still on the line? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (08:10):
His brother still here?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Your brother, now, it wasn't cursing or they would catch
your brother smoking cigarettes? What would they do. What was
he doing to get punished?

Speaker 7 (08:19):
So my mom caught him one time smoking and she
sat him down in our kitchen. I remember this because
I was about six seven years old at the time,
and she went out to the store, to the corner
store and grabbed a col cart and a marble cigarette
at that time, and she made us smoke every single cigarette,
and not just smoke it. She made him inhale every

(08:40):
single one where he almost passed out and he would
have to he just had to smoke. To this day,
the man does not want to stand next to anybody
who smoked a cigarette.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Oh wow, look at wait, but it was your brother
that was in trouble. They made you smoked them too. No, no,
no no.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
I was the youngest of fourteen siblings, so I will
watch what my other siblings would do it I knew, okay,
that's something I wouldn't do or something I cannot do.
I got you, so I will. Yeah, well, I love
you guys, show hello everybody.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Well, thank you, hello lady, thanks for listening to us.
We appreciate it. Carlos, and tell your brother, hey, congratulations
on not smoking. Ever, that's pretty cool. If I was
a parent of fourteen kids. I would make them all
stay in the room and smoke cigarettes. I would buy
fourteen cartons of cigarettes, it's expensive, and make them all
smoke at once in one room. They're all done. They're good.

(09:37):
Interesting call line eight's Ashley when she would curse her
dad could your dad couldn't find soap? So what did
you wash your mouth out with?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Hi?

Speaker 6 (09:47):
Well, I love you guys.

Speaker 8 (09:49):
You guys are so awesome.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
So this is kind of a funny story.

Speaker 8 (09:51):
So growing up, I was kind of like the.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Goody two shoes and my sister was always the one
getting in trouble. So one my sister Jass was in trouble.
My dad was trying to find soap and wash her
mouth that way, and he literally could not find any,
Like he was out of soap. So he goes into
the fridge and.

Speaker 8 (10:11):
I'm watching this all and he finds.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Blue cheese or feta cheese, I forget which one, but
he was all right, she's not gonna like this. She's
a little kid, like, let me just.

Speaker 8 (10:21):
Like throw some blue cheese in her mouth, and she does.
He does, and my sister is hysterically crying because of
like she's so emotional, like what is going on in
my mouth ery now? And she says, Daddy, I think
I'd like this cheese, and my dad just starts hysterically laughing.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I love blue cheese as well. Not a lot of
people like blue chees, especially kids. But if you're washing
my mouth out with blue cheese, I'm yeah, cheese, daddy.
All right, Well, thank you, Ashley. You shouldn't wash their
mouth out. Was like, like a very pungent blue cheese
because they may love it. I love that, I said earlier.

(11:05):
Thanks for listening to us. Actually appreciate it. Uh. Someone
actually sent a text in saying I enjoy I pretend
to enjoy the soap, and they would stop doing it.
So they started, you, you've been a bad boy. Here,
give me give me your mouth, here some soap and
be like yeah, yeah, poor Gandhi. I bet your parents

(11:33):
couldn't find anything to punish you by because you would
stand all sorts of pain.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
They said, punishing me was their worst nightmare. It was
the bane of their existence because nothing bothered me. Like nothing.
They're like, we'd send you to your room, you will
go to sleep. We try to put you in a
corner in silence. You'd talk to yourself. We'd smack you,
you'd stare at us like it was like punishing themselves.

Speaker 8 (11:53):
It was the worst.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
They can make you eat cinnamon because I know you
hate cinnamon, right, Sorry, just went out of said. Oh,
I said they can make you eat cinnamon because you
detest cinnamon.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
You know now as an adult, yes, they could have
done that. I actually hated it when I was a
little kid too, but they didn't think that way, Thank god.
