Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's daily highlight from Elvis Duran in the morning show.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Text coming in from friend scene in Saint Pete, talking
about something we talked about on the show the other day,
coming up with excuses to get out of plans, coming
up with ways to say no to people inviting you places.
Let's go talk to friand scene. See what this is
all about, fran scene. So Friday night, you have plans
with the friend you want to get out of them?
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Hi, guys, good morning. Yes, I'm trying to get out
of them, and I just I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to say. I've been just thinking
about it like the past few days and just dwelling
on it.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Are you the only one going? Are there other people there?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, we're meeting other people that she knows that I
don't know. But we're supposed to be going to the
hard Rock in Tampa at like five point thirty, which
is like traffic time, and I'm like, God, it's going
to suck driving there, and then it's my payday week,
it's not hers, so I'm pretty much gonna have to
pay for everything. Wow, Okay, what so you mean I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
No, no, no, not mean at all. No, that's realistic.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
So you're thinking she'll be fine without me because she
has friends that will be there for her, right, I
mean right.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, But I just feel bad. She asked me like
a few weeks ago, and it was kind of like,
I don't know. I just I don't know. I feel guilty.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Okay, I can see that. Any any thoughts here, what
do you think?

Speaker 4 (01:16):
I think you have a lot of valid reasons to
not want to go, and you shouldn't feel guilty, and
you should find a way to just nope.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Your way out of there, so she has to lie.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
In other words, you just make up like a big
I can't go because of the arm that's lingering by attendant.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Yeah, because I think if she just does the I
can't make it thing right now, I don't think that's
going to go over very well. Since it's been planned
and there's you know, other people who are going to
be there. I think you have to make something up.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, it's definitely don't go. It has to be like
an emergency situation. I think at this point, because.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I thought about that too, about like saying I'm going
to be I'm sick or whatever. But I feel like
she will know I'm lying.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Plus you don't want to jinx yourself sickness and yeah,
stuff like that flat.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Tire, flat tire. It's not so, but you have to
do it now.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh could you do like rather than a fall out
fib is there like a hybrid you could go with
something's come up and I just unfortunately can't make it.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
So nothing came up, But you don't have to say
what it is. I got it, I got it. Well,
well I'm still asking about this one. So oh, go ahead, Nate,
what do you have?

Speaker 1 (02:22):
All Right? I got it.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
You say that day, oh my god, I had the
worst omen that something bad is going to happen if
I drive, I'm not coming.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
She can't.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
You can't refute that that if something does happen, she'll
feel feel terrible something does happen.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
In the entire time, she's thinking that if something does happen,
she's going to be the one that's a fault because
she's the one that made the plans.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
You got it out, there you go.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
She very superstitious. There you go.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
That could totally work. T GPT like putting the like
the details in the chat GPT and ask it to
give you some reasons good.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
To Actually, yes, I did this morning before I texted
you guys, and I just said, let them down easy,
and it was kind of giving ideas. I'm like, this
is gonna be all crap. She will just see right
through this. So you go for a little bit of
time and then like say, yeah, I thought about the
stomach ache. I thought about that, but I don't feel
like driving over there, Danielle. So far it's let me traffic.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
And it's it is not close from where you are.
It's not close.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
The other day we actually came on and said we
should normalize saying no, we should just say no.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I know she's depending on you, but you know if
you just said no, she's gonna get mad at you.
She may do un understand. But maybe this I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's why I said.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Maybe I'm halfway in between, like something came up that's
really personal.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
I can't make it. I don't go here's.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Get it over with that thing and tell her today
Maybe just I can't make it.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
You had to work late, you picked up an extra shift,
and then you'll pick up an extra shift.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Why, Yeah, what would happen if you said, I just
don't feel like coming.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
I don't know about that one. Don't even have to
make up like I've had the worst week ever.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
I just want to stay home. I just don't feel
like coming. I don't want to sit in traffic. I
don't want to pay for everyone's dinner. Okay, that's not flying.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
I don't think that's good. All right, we've given you
the omen one.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
If that's say, if that's the one that's gonna if
that's the one that's gonna work, Yes, scary, what's up?

Speaker 3 (04:39):
What if you replace it with something else? See? Because
you take it away, but you're gonna put something else there.
So think about right now in advance, how you can
make it up to her, And then this way you
shall you'll focus on the solution and not the problem.
I'm gonna buy you a round of drinks.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
That's a good And maybe I could take her up
tomorrow after work for a little bit. That's a great idea.
That's awesome. I think I think that would be that's
gonna be the winner. I think, thank you guys so much.
I appreciate you.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Elvis was really trying to go down the honesty path
and all this sort. No, no, I have this lie
in my pocket.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well that always backfires trying to be honest. I'm gonna
let that one go. Yeah, I'm gonna go with Nates.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
I had a vision and visit me in the night.

don't want to go to Tampa at five thirty. It's
just not what you want to do, all right. Well,

one of ours or choose one of your own. But
