Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Back to this chess talk we were going through a
few moments ago. So the name of that series is
called the Watch Untold Series on Netflix, and this one's
called Chess Mates. It's about a match between chess grand masters,
and apparently they're saying this guy cheated against the grand
master because someone was sending him signals of where to
(00:27):
move on the board by using vibrating and anal beads.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Okay, so it could happen. I will go to say that.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
You know, I'm not going to ruin too much of
this documentary because I want to watch it and I didn't
watch it yet they're saying that this that was not proven,
that that was just false, and there was a lawsuit
the guy sued for being accused of putting vibrating beads
up his butt in cheating anyway. But I'm just trying
to figure out through the game of chess, which I
do not understand, how is that possible? Now, of course
(00:58):
they spelled it out in in the documentary, but we're
still waiting for someone to text us if you know
how that worked, Like, how can you? I don't want
to guess, Nate, I just want to see how they
did it on the documentary. You're probably right, because Nate
is the only one with a little bit of intellectual
background on the show that can actually guess about chess.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I've played chess.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I haven't played it when you do the So there's
sixty four squares on a chessboard, right, and the one
side is letters and then the other side is numbers.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
So it would be like B five to E seven.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
So I guess, if I'm guessing, you would buzz like
two buzzes for the letter and then five buzzes for
the number, and then.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
You would move your chess piece there. Yeah, and then
you would wear it age eight. How do you count
that out?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
If that would be eight buzzes, how do you sit
still for sixteen buzzes?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
There's no way if that's going on come out.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I don't know. I wouldn't sit still with one buzz shoes.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, no, anyway, So if you saw the documentary, just
text us now at fifty five to one hundred, we
want it could be totally right what you said. I'm
assuming it is until we hear otherwise. I want you
to hear this letter that Danielle received. Yes, do you
have music.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
For this scary I'm gonna get something right now. Uh.
It was actually in the mail. This person mailed it
to you, And to.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Be honest, I got a little nervous opening it up
because I was like, what is in here?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And it was addressed to me, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Like, we're waiting for n thracks to fall?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yes, exactly, I want to hear.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
We go read the letter. Here we go to homemade amazing.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Okay, to whom it may concern, I just wanted to
let you know how appalled I am, and perhaps many
Z one hundred listeners are, about Danielle's despicable verbiage. A
few weeks ago, she was I was driving to work
and I put on Z one hundreds the radio station,
and Danielle and others were talking rubbish as usual and
crap as usual. However, I was very offended, as she
(02:59):
said to one of the coworkers. You were all live
on air. She said, do you arrange your balls in
the morning? Something like which side do you adjust your balls?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Are you kidding me? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Kids?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Listen to the station.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Then went on to say, luckily, my kids were at
school already and did not hear this nonsense. This verbal
conduct is so unnecessary. Why do it? It certainly does
not improve your ratings. The songs you play suck anyway,
with way too many commercials. Stick to playing songs and
eliminate these stupid remarks and suggestive phrases. I will no
longer listen to you because it's becoming too vulgar.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It's stupid, and it's idiotic.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And then she says, perhaps you need to practice the
phrase moving forward, better to remain silent and be thought
a fool.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Then speak up and remove all doubt, anonymous and no
longer a listener.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Good Bye.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Let me tell you that is definitely not the worst
thing that I've ever said, if that's what, And I'm like, wow, wow.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Wow, okay, well goodbye, lady, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I mean, I do feel bad.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I don't want to, like, you know, offend anybody, but like,
that's it to me, that's nothing.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well, okay, look, we've been doing this show for thirty
years this month mark. This month marks thirty years doing
this show to us, and we do go down.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
A shameful path from time to time. I didn't I
thought that was a great question. Actually, oh yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That whole segment was about my husband Alex's his cancer,
testicular cancer, and he had a ball removed, a ball
put in, So Daniel had ball question she did. It's
basically it and so you know, but anyway, she doesn't
like the music, she doesn't like what we talk about.
And then she says, no longer a listener who gives
a crack back go away.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
But it's so funny because the whole time the person
is complaining. I don't know if it was a guy
or a girl, but the whole time they're complaining about
how all we do is talk rubbish and stupid crap
comes out of our mouths.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Right, but obviously they keep listening, right.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, I guess because we talk stupid crap all the time,
that's all we do. What scary it's a physical letter
she took the You know, what I'm saying is consider
the source.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I mean, I don't think we are.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Are you saying that only dweebs write letters and put
them in the in the mail?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Well, I have to consider where she her age in life,
in the age group. Maybe we are not for her.
Maybe I mean she hates that she's this in our music.
Don't this our music?
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I'm no way, I'm sorry, sorry, go listen to the
AM dial.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Something on the AM dial was more, that's fine, we
love the AM dial. Let's keep the AM dial alive.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Should I just point out that the letter she typed,
she used the word doc like the format for a
letter like, it's perfectly filled out, the date, the address
to whom it makes rubbish?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
How old do you think this person is scary? How
old do you think she is? She's seventy three. She
said she had children in the car, in.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
The car and she it looks like it came from
New Jersey, somewhere in New Jersey. But I can't. What
does it say?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
How do you know? Just the vibe as a Jersey vibe?
This this Stampa the.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Mail from New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Okay, all right, well look here's here's my thing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Look, I'm not I will never ever say that we
are everything to every person. You do have a choice
a billion different places you could be other than here. Yeah,
but sometimes people act as if we have them tied
up in a basement and we're forcing them to listen
to our show every day. We don't. If you don't
like it, go away. If you like it, stay and
(06:33):
the ratings are fine. We've got great ratings, so you
know know what you're talking about before he's sending letters.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Am I supposed to frame this one?
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yes, you're proud.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I'm proud.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'm sorry I offended you though. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
No, don't be sorry. I apologize for that.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
But I must have.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Really offended someone, because in order to do this and
take the time, people are busy.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
All this is really let's totally let's guesslight this person.
I'm so sorry that you were offended. I'm so sorry
that you chose to be offended.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay, Look, you know we've never been a we've never
been a show for kids ever. So if you're stupid
enough to put the radio on with kids in the car. Look,
a lot of people say, my twelve year old, my
ten year old listen to your show all the time.
They've explained some of the stuff you say to me.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Okay, I mean my dad when he was alive, he
didn't understand half the things that we said. He would
text me in the morning, go Danny, what do you
guys mean by that? And I would say, don't worry
about that, dad.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And there you go.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Ignore.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We were talking about testicular cancer and Daniel had questions
about how you know, if they put a fake ball in,
how's that work? How does it relate to the other ball.
Do they get along? Do they have conversations with each other?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
But anyway, there you go, so thank you. Feel free
to Hey, if you have a complaint, mail.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It to us.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
On the air. We don't even know our address. Find
the address and mail it to us. That person did.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
We should have complaint money exactly, but it has to.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Be mailed to it. Can I be emailed?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay? Okay, back to chess. We have Danny from Franklin Square,
New York. You just watched Untold the Chessmates documentary on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Is that right, Danny?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
I did. I watched it on Saturday. I was still
perplexed by it and watched it again on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay, So are you a chess player or do you
just kind of go do you raw dog that like
I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Do when I watched it because I don't know much
about chess.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
I'm not a good or great chess player. I played online.
I did kind of play on chess dot com when
it was blowing up, which is kind of what documentary
is about. Right. You know, I'm terrible, I'm not a
good chess player, but this documentary was amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, now here's the question. They're saying that all allegations
about this guy putting a vibrating thing in his rear
end are not true. I'm assuming that's what they led
you to believe on the documentary, But how how did
it work? Who if it had been true? They're accusing
him of having someone off to the side sending him
Morse code or something to his butt.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
All right, so if I could just explain it and
I guess spoiler spoiler alert a little bit. Yeah, this guy,
this guy Hans, who was blowing up the chess rankings online,
ended up in tournaments, winning tournaments, and then making it
making his way to play, uh, what's his name, Magnus Carlson,
the best chess player in the world. So when he's
(09:28):
playing Magnus, Magnus says, I sat there and felt like
I was playing a computer. Now people found out later
on from the founders of chess dot com that they
saw when he was playing online there were games.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Where he was cheating.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
I can understand cheating on the computer because there's algorithms
and you have a computer in front of.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You to help.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Right.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Once they got to the tournaments and he started beating
Magnus Carlson and a few of these other people, the
internet went crazy. The chat rooms are figuring out maybe
at any ear piece in his ear, he's getting signals
from somewhere. They're wanding him down. He never gets caught
with anything, but at one point in the documentary to
(10:08):
the chat room on the streaming channel is going absolutely crazy,
and one person in there writes vibrating anal beads, so
that from there.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Okay, so if you know the beads, you.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Know the every single person that interviewed them. Uh, this
poor guy who kind of built his life up around
chest was completely tarnished and ruined by this anal bead
uh fiasco.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Okay, So question, chess player or a little bit of
a chess player, what would they be able to tell
you through vibrations that would make you decide how to
make Oh, they don't explain anything.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
So mate, who was saying it earlier on the show
n Nate, Yeah, Nate's right. I mean, listen, there's to
night to be six and they were saying in the
show night is one vibration, Bishops to vibration. But even still,
I don't know, man, I don't know how you how
you can? Uh right, it's been It's been troubling me
(11:11):
all weekend because I still can't figure it out.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well, I'm going to I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
How can you sit there shake a little bit like?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Oh? Think people were analyzing his every gesture and move
throughout the whole documentary. He's putting his hands to his chin,
he's he's itching his ear, he's but he was never
shifting around or looking like there was something up there.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I got.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
I gotta say, at the end of it, I felt
bad for the kid more than anything.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Okay, well, look I'm gonna watch this no matter how
much you may or may not have spoiled it. I've
got to watch this thing, and I'll determination.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You're number three.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I just want to sit there and watch this guy
being shocked through his little.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Rare end he and listen, I'll tell you if there
is something up there shocking him or vibrating. He keeps
a very straight face. It's amazing. He deserves it.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
If he did that, is there.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
A way to make it just a tiny shock, like
it's nothing major? And if that's the case, maybe that's
why it was fine, because it was just.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Can you wrap it like in a washcloth?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't know if bubble yes, bubble wrap those things
will start popping. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
All right, well, look, thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
A great documentary. I'd love to hear you guys uh
interpretation of it when you see it.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Okay, So it was it was never proven that this
actually was the thing. It was just a suggestion in
a chat room and all of a sudden it took
off about like wildfire.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Then I know Morgan on on on the BBC is
asking him. So yeah, it's the true patal beads and.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I love it. If Pierce Morgan gets involved, you know,
it's serious business.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
All right, Well, thank you, thank you so much for
listening to us, and you have a great day.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Okay, happy to talk to you. I've been speaking. I've
been listening to you guys forever, so appreciate it. Thank you, Uh, Destiny,

Speaker 3 (13:00):

Who's that?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Wait wait did you hang up on it? What that
means is that something is that some sort of worse code.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Don't you know? What's going to happen now?
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Right?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
That person's going to write us another letter complaining about
this conversation.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Here comes would be they're going.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
To analyze this conversation good luck back to back with

I'm so sorry that you were offended. I'm so sorry
that you chose to be offended.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay, Look, you know we've never been a we've never
been a show for kids ever. So if you're stupid
enough to put the radio on with kids in the car. Look,
a lot of people say, my twelve year old, my
ten year old listen to your show all the time.
They've explained some of the stuff you say to me.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Okay, I mean my dad when he was alive, he
didn't understand half the things that we said. He would
text me in the morning, go Danny, what do you
guys mean by that? And I would say, don't worry
about that, dad.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And there you go.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Ignore.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We were talking about testicular cancer and Daniel had questions
about how you know, if they put a fake ball in,
how's that work? How does it relate to the other ball.
Do they get along? Do they have conversations with each other?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
But anyway, there you go, so thank you. Feel free
to Hey, if you have a complaint, mail.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It to us.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
On the air. We don't even know our address. Find
the address and mail it to us. That person did.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
We should have complaint money exactly, but it has to.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Be mailed to it. Can I be emailed?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay? Okay, back to chess. We have Danny from Franklin Square,
New York. You just watched Untold the Chessmates documentary on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Is that right, Danny?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
I did. I watched it on Saturday. I was still
perplexed by it and watched it again on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay, So are you a chess player or do you
just kind of go do you raw dog that like
I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Do when I watched it because I don't know much
about chess.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
I'm not a good or great chess player. I played online.
I did kind of play on chess dot com when
it was blowing up, which is kind of what documentary
is about. Right. You know, I'm terrible, I'm not a
good chess player, but this documentary was amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, now here's the question. They're saying that all allegations
about this guy putting a vibrating thing in his rear
end are not true. I'm assuming that's what they led
you to believe on the documentary, But how how did
it work? Who if it had been true? They're accusing
him of having someone off to the side sending him
Morse code or something to his butt.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
All right, so if I could just explain it and
I guess spoiler spoiler alert a little bit. Yeah, this guy,
this guy Hans, who was blowing up the chess rankings online,
ended up in tournaments, winning tournaments, and then making it
making his way to play, uh, what's his name, Magnus Carlson,
the best chess player in the world. So when he's
(09:28):
playing Magnus, Magnus says, I sat there and felt like
I was playing a computer. Now people found out later
on from the founders of chess dot com that they
saw when he was playing online there were games.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Where he was cheating.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
I can understand cheating on the computer because there's algorithms
and you have a computer in front of.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You to help.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Right.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Once they got to the tournaments and he started beating
Magnus Carlson and a few of these other people, the
internet went crazy. The chat rooms are figuring out maybe
at any ear piece in his ear, he's getting signals
from somewhere. They're wanding him down. He never gets caught
with anything, but at one point in the documentary to
(10:08):
the chat room on the streaming channel is going absolutely crazy,
and one person in there writes vibrating anal beads, so
that from there.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Okay, so if you know the beads, you.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Know the every single person that interviewed them. Uh, this
poor guy who kind of built his life up around
chest was completely tarnished and ruined by this anal bead
uh fiasco.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Okay, So question, chess player or a little bit of
a chess player, what would they be able to tell
you through vibrations that would make you decide how to
make Oh, they don't explain anything.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
So mate, who was saying it earlier on the show
n Nate, Yeah, Nate's right. I mean, listen, there's to
night to be six and they were saying in the
show night is one vibration, Bishops to vibration. But even still,
I don't know, man, I don't know how you how
you can? Uh right, it's been It's been troubling me
(11:11):
all weekend because I still can't figure it out.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well, I'm going to I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
How can you sit there shake a little bit like?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Oh? Think people were analyzing his every gesture and move
throughout the whole documentary. He's putting his hands to his chin,
he's he's itching his ear, he's but he was never
shifting around or looking like there was something up there.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I got.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
I gotta say, at the end of it, I felt
bad for the kid more than anything.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Okay, well, look I'm gonna watch this no matter how
much you may or may not have spoiled it. I've
got to watch this thing, and I'll determination.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You're number three.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I just want to sit there and watch this guy
being shocked through his little.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Rare end he and listen, I'll tell you if there
is something up there shocking him or vibrating. He keeps
a very straight face. It's amazing. He deserves it.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
If he did that, is there.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
A way to make it just a tiny shock, like
it's nothing major? And if that's the case, maybe that's
why it was fine, because it was just.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Can you wrap it like in a washcloth?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't know if bubble yes, bubble wrap those things
will start popping. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
All right, well, look, thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
A great documentary. I'd love to hear you guys uh
interpretation of it when you see it.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Okay, So it was it was never proven that this
actually was the thing. It was just a suggestion in
a chat room and all of a sudden it took
off about like wildfire.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Then I know Morgan on on on the BBC is
asking him. So yeah, it's the true patal beads and.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I love it. If Pierce Morgan gets involved, you know,
it's serious business.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
All right, Well, thank you, thank you so much for
listening to us, and you have a great day.
Speaker 6 (12:52):

Don't you know? What's going to happen now?
