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

Speaker 2 (00:06):
There's and Andrew. All right, so let's go talk to
Jamie Line seventeen. Let's see what the connection is here. Hello, Jamie,
Jamie are you there? Oh?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hear me?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
There you are Jamie from Madison, Wisconsin. Thank you so
much for contacting us. You want to wish diarrhea on
our Andrew?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I would?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Okay, So what's the connection?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Tell us the story?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
We'd love to hear that.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well. Andrew had talked about gardens and I had to
check it out. And now I am so addicted and
I cannot put it down.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Remember Andrew, we were having a productivity issue with you. You
weren't getting your job done because you were so addicted
to it's garden skates, right.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, we have an intervention. Remember that he was missing
stop on the train. Yeah. I was really building my garden.
It was great. What happened. I had to get clean
off of it. I couldn't do it. I've been clean
since August of twenty twenty five, Thank you so much.
I had to kick the addiction. I was building a

(01:17):
bamboo garden, and if you know me, you know I
love bamboo. So I was like, I gotta get this
garden going, and.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, I gotta go to ask you too, well, just
talking about garden scapes, does it make you a little itchy?

Speaker 1 (01:28):
A little? I mean, I see you have a little
twitch in your eye there, No, no, for sure, I'm definitely
u thinking maybe I should redownload the air. Same Andrew.
His fingers are twitching.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Okay, so Jamie you get talk of it. Yeah, so
Jamie has a problem because of you. She's blaming you.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Jamie, did you did they throw the garden party? Yet?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
You know, I don't really pay attention to everything that's
going on. I skip through it and I just go
through the levels and try to win as many coins
as I can and Mark, yeah, no, it's become a problem.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
No, that was a good strategy. I definitely loved to wait,
to wait, hold on and garden scapes.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Is it about winning coins or is it about building gardens?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
What's about both? You need the coins from doing the
puzzles to upgrade your garden, and then when you upgrade everything,
you unlock the next level. But there's little stories in
each part of the garden. That's how they make that money.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, So you are addicted to garden scapes
because of diarrhea, because of Andrew, who were wish We're
about to wish diarrhea upon. So Jamie, how is this
affecting your life?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
You know, it's kind of like doom scrolling where I
don't realize I've been on it for an hour plus
and I'm like, what have I been doing with my time?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I've been there, Jamie.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
You know, I think it's better than TikTok. You know,
I'm kind of challenging my brain a little bit.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, yeah, you know there's another one. If you like dinosaurs,
Jurassic World evolution, don't don't do this. Stop stop Sorry,
I'm sorry to stop.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Stop.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
No, no, all right.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
So, uh you actually had a way on your own
to stop with your addiction, right, Andrew.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, it was getting shamed on a public forum like this.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
It.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, just think to yourself, replace it with something else.
I would say. Something that also helped me was the brick.
The brick brick. Yes, it's called a brick. I have
like three of them. I keep them at home. Yeah,
everywhere you can set limits on things, so it literally
locks you out and you have to go and physically
tap this device in order to unlock the app. It

(03:45):
is fantastic. It's cut down on my screen time by
like tens of hours. Tens of hours.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well that sounds like a clean break, yes, all right,
well okay, So do you think Jamie wishing diarrhea upon
Andrew is going to help you end your addiction to
garden scapes.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I don't see how that's going to help you.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I think it's getting me into it to start with.
That's the diarrhea card.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Oh okay, she wants us to spray diarrhea all over
you because you got and by the way, diarrhea's got
to be great fertilizer for the garden.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I'm thinking, I don't know. So true.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
All right, wait, I just found someone that's even worse
than her.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Did you see this last text message? What it says?
I've been playing Gardenscape since COVID. I'm over fourteen thousand levels.
D Oh, there's that many. Yeah, that's the problem with it.
You build a little piece of each garden, and then
when you're done with the whole manner, they move you
to a new mansion and it's like, oh, now you
have to build an Atlantis garden. Oh, now you have

(04:49):
it just keeps going and going. Well, Jamie is probably.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Worse than that person, because I have started not even
a year ago, and I think I'm at level like
eleven thousand.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
So all right, well, as you requested, Jamie, we are
now going to shoot diarrhea on Andrew.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
We wish diarrhea upon you. Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
That is Oh my god, humanity, humanity.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well look look what we did. And you know we don't.
We don't pull that trigger a lot here on this show.
But when we do, we mean business.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
You know what I'm saying. Thank you so much. It
makes me feel so much better. I love you.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well, now the rest of the rest of this is
up to you. Now.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I hope, I hope you find a way. Hope you
find a way, you find someone to help you with
your intervention. All right, thank you so much. Let's here
for Jamie and with Madison Wisconsin not to check gapes
in the ass. All right, well, thank you, Andrew. Anything
else you want to share with the class before you
rush out the door. Now I feel kind of bad now,
if I'm being honest, I feel like a dealer, except

(05:54):
that I can high up my own supply gardenscape, stay
away and stay away from all the ones. Dan I
think Gandhi your suggestion go away
