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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, so you're in a relationship, right, Maybe it's
brand new relationship, or maybe you moved in with each other.
With your new relationship, you know, it's getting to know someone.
You get to know someone, especially if you take a
vacation with him, as Gandhi you did with Brandon. Yes,
I did you get to know someone the good and
the bad. Yeah. And then of course Samantha moved in
with her boyfriend will Oh. Yeah, you guys have spent

(00:26):
the night with each other many times. Yeah, but what
happened that totally melted your eyebrows.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I have learned that William is really desperate for me
to be able to use the bathroom in front of him.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
No, he does, okay, hold on here around here.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
He considers it to be the height of comfort and
trust in a relationship. He thinks, if you could do that,
you're all the way with the comfort.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
So you so you will go into the bathroom and
start looking in the mirror and you're getting ready. Yeah,
and he'll come sit down on the ball next to you.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
He's done that several times already. And I just have
to run regardless of the situation.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
It's not okay, it's not okay.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
But he wants me to you know, he wants to
trade places. You want to to be comfortable. Here's the thing.
I am ninety nine percent saying no, but I want
to maybe consider a bet that I really want something
from and I'll use that as leverage.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well no, no, no, no, how many don't you have? What
you have one bathroom? Oh yeah, okay?

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Does it lock?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Medium?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
So I'll come home, well, Alex, and I'll come home
from dinner. He'll go, I'll go to go, okay, go,
and all of a sudden, you know, you hear these
foul noises, But what do you do? Close the door?
Here's reason he keeps it open. But he I know
he keeps it open on purpose because you know, it
just irritates the whatever out of me. And you hear

(01:49):
these noises, you know what the noises are? You know
what you you know those things? I don't know. I
don't want to hear that. I don't want to hear
your air propulsion. I don't want to hear you getting
left off off the.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Toilet, or he has this breathing thing sometimes.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Before and then you hear this, You hear this? Ah, Yeah,
I don't want to hear that. But so you're saying
that it's not just going to the bathroom for Will.
Will believes it. As a couple, you can further bond
with each other if you open that door and just
you know, use the bathroom together, no matter what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, he says, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yes, a body poops. No, that's gross.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I don't really want to do it, guys.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
I like, sexual attraction is a thing, right, Can you
still be sexually attracted to someone after watching him take
a du.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Well, currently it still is. He's really gambling with that,
really gambling.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
No, But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
If I could find a bet, like like maybe get
him to get rid of his collection of cargo shorts
or something, and I.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Think that's worth it, I.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Might well not yet I haven't pulled the trigger on it,
but I know there's something out there where I will
use that as leverage and I will get that bet.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
But then you have to poop in front of well
only if I lose tell you what.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
That's not?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yes, Scotty B. So it all changes when you get married,
because when Amy and I got married on our wedding night.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
We were in the hotel and I was sitting on
the toilet and Amy was at my feet as we
were opening the gifts.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Are you kidding like it was nothing?

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
No, married for hours, that's right, that's when it starts. No,
there's there's stuff coming out, but there was money in
the envelopes. It didn't matter. He couldn't wait.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
No, opened the gifts.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Oh dear god, what's scared? God? I know she's she's crossed.

Speaker 7 (03:33):
When you start to normalize that kind of thing in
a relationship, all the mystique is gone. I want I
want to always look at you as an angel. I
want to worship you.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
I don't need to know you say that angels don't
pooh no, But I.

Speaker 7 (03:45):
Want to know ninety percent of you. That last ten
percent keep in the bathroom. You could cause long term
damage to your relationship because then.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
You might start looking at other people.

Speaker 8 (03:54):
And look at that as yeah, frog, what, well, here's
the problem in my house. And I don't understand why
this is a thing. If Lisa passes gas, she's like,
nobody's supposed to say anything, But if I do it,
she yells at me.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, there's no that. It makes no sense.

Speaker 8 (04:12):
No, why Like why am I not allowed to fart?
But she's okay with it, Like it's okay for her,
it's an accident.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Why but you she probably lets one slip. You're the
kind of guy who lifts one leg and pulls the
other arm in like that exactly what I did last
night in the bathroom. I'm like, wait, I put my
arm in the air.

Speaker 8 (04:29):
I'm like wait, wait, wait for it, and then I
pulled down on it like a horn.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, I like, okay, So there is a difference. I've
got Victoria here, Hi, Victoria. I so you've been married
five years? Now is this behavior common in your relationship?
Of five year marriage?

Speaker 6 (04:46):
I mean, you know, we've been together for about ten
years and married for five and is only within the
last year because of our living situation that my husband
has been able to accept the fact that I'm just
gonna walk into the bathroom only within the last year,
like he used to you know, keep the door closed
and last while he was in the shower, so I

(05:06):
couldn't even look in the mirror, like there's one bathroom
in this house.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
So wait, wait, wait, what what changed? I mean, what
changed that now makes it all okay for all the
all the walls to come down.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
You know, I'm not sure he's so.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
I'm not sure he accepts that it's okay. I think
it's because of our living situation, only having one bathroom
in the house of six people on a baby, that
he's just he just had to accept it.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
No matter what's this.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Let me tell you something, Victoria. This is the difference
between me and Alex or me and you're you.

Speaker 9 (05:37):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I close the door and lock it even if I'm
by myself at the apartment. So I don't know. It's
maybe it's just habit. It's just habit. I'm not I'm
not expecting someone to like you're pulling I who are you?
Why are you here? Victoria?

Speaker 6 (05:52):
Now I'm a complete opposite. Doors always open.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
All right, Victoria, thank you? Thanks for listening to us.
People know, Hi Jackie, Hi, Elvis.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
Oh my god, I'm so glad I finally got through.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's taking me years to talk to you guys. I'm
so excited.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well, isn't it said? It took the conversation of poohing, No,
I open the door for you. What's going on? Jackie?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
So I've been married for almost two years and I
still refuse if my husband has to go. Number two, Nope,
it's completely out of the question. Number one, that's that's questionable.
You know. That one we're okay with. But still no,
absolutely not. The sounds and the smells. You know, I
have to keep the door closed for him and vice
versas for me.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yes, for you good, you know you're I guess we're
all different. You know, there's there's a vegetarians, there's meat
eating people, and then there's poohing in front of people
both ends.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, I know, especially guys. No offense to you guys,
but you guys make a lot of more noises.

Speaker 8 (06:48):
That's not that's not fair to generalize.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'll be very honest with you. Mine are like the
little little rabbit pellets. You never know who they're.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
No.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
And then my husband's in the bathroom like at least
a half an hour, and we only have like like
one bathroom in our apartment, so it's like it's out
of commission for like a half an hour, so I
have to pee.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's like, well, I know, okay, I know, since we've
gotten this gross, let's let's let's just keep moving forward, Jackie.
So it's one thing to like, you know, do the deed,
and then you have to you have to clean up.
I don't want to be there during the clean up
one I'll five. I don't want to be there for that. Hell,
I don't want to be there.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
What kind of are we talking about?

Speaker 2 (07:31):
You know, you got it. Sometimes it takes more effort
than others. Sometimes it's like, you know, dust and you're good.
Sometimes it's it's a mess.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
You know.

Speaker 8 (07:47):
What about when I leave the room, should I announce like, hey,
nobody go in there for a while.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's being polite, all right? Well, Jackie, thank you for listening,
and I agree with you. This is why we need doors.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Oh exactly. Thank you guys so much. Elvis you know
I'm big fans of you guys and the whole show.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
And Alex Well, thank you, thank you so much. I
appreciate it. Jack You have a beautiful day. Thanks for
listening to us.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Thank you you too. Thanks.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh my god, I'm so upset.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
I'm so disturbed right now.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Thank me too. But we have we have all these
calls coming in. There's this is like this relatable thing. Wait,
hold on, I was told to go to one more
then we can move Donnie. Yeah, so you and your boyfriend? Hi,
So you and your boyfriend. You're so into each other.

Speaker 10 (08:32):
How's that okay? So we invade each other's spaces like
all the time. So we've been together for ten years.
So like sometimes I'll say, hey, come hold my hand
while pooh because I'm having a difficult time and you
need to be here for this.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, it's like he's in the delivery room.

Speaker 10 (08:52):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
You're delivering something.

Speaker 10 (08:56):
Sometimes it's a support time.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
But if someone says to me, but it's not like
giving birth to a baby, it's a totally different thing.
If someone says to me, I really have to pooh,
I'm dilated three centimes. I think he really should go pooh.
All right, Donnie, thank you for listening. And you're the
last call we're gonna take on this. I swear I'm
gonna direct this right at straight and night. Hi, my friend,
how are you today?

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Elvis Drand do you consider yourself a modern man?

Speaker 5 (09:24):
Oh? Hm, yes I do. I mean I don't know
the definition according to you, but I'm sensitive.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I can cry.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
Is that party?

Speaker 6 (09:34):
Well?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Hold on, I have a whole list of stuff here
by the way, the things on this list that are
traits of a modern man. If you show this list
to a guy fifty years ago, he would have laughed
in your face. He would have put his cigarette out
on your forehead of you. You know what I'm saying.
A new poll asked people to name the top traits

(09:55):
of a modern man who's truly comfortable with the current
era that we're in. Number one, You do your fair
share of the cleaning, correct.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
That's an easy one. You talk openly about your feelings
more and more so.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yeah, I think I do.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Hmm, there's a problem, Mary, I can tell. Okay, here's
one which is a no brainer. But you know what,
to some guys, this is a thing if your boss
or manager was a woman, you'd be totally fine with it. Yeah, yep, absolutely,
you're okay discussing your mental health. Yeah, okay. You're a

(10:36):
good listener.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Oh, very I'm one of the best listeners ever.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Oh really, Oh wow, Okay, you're great with kids.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, I'm not around kids that often, but I feel like, yeah,
kids like me, so.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
You don't know. You're openly, openly affectionate. Yes, yeah, you'd
be fine being a stay at home dad.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Probably, Yeah, I mean I don't want kids, but if
it happened, that's a no.

Speaker 10 (11:08):
No.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
You know, but you can't really, you can't answer that question.
Be a father, to be a stay at home down Yeah,
modern man, straight, innate, you don't always feel the need
to put on a brave face. It's okay to say
I'm a little frightened about this. I've said that, all right.
You stand up against racism and prejudice. I try, Yeah, trying. Okay,

(11:32):
So there you go. What about the environment? Is it
okay to admit how you feel about the environment. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
I think everybody needs to be aware of what's going
on in the world with climate change, and people don't
realize that, right.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
So they're saying here that as a modern man, you
should not be afraid to discuss these topics. And I
don't think anyone on this show has any problem with
anything on this list.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
No, Roggy's fine with that, Scary's fine with that. You're
I know, you're fine with everything on that list.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
I don't know. I bet I've got I bet Scary
is questioning some of these things.

Speaker 7 (12:05):
Yeah, I mean I feel like a lot of you
check a lot of the boxes off for me, but
then there were a few that I'm like, Okay, maybe
I'm not a modern man.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Are you okay discussing your mental health?

Speaker 6 (12:16):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Okay, good.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Do you.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Think it's fine being a stay at home dad for you?

Speaker 3 (12:26):
For me?

Speaker 5 (12:27):
No?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
But I feel it's okay for guys in general. I
agree with the concept, but for you for me?

Speaker 6 (12:33):
Now?

Speaker 5 (12:33):
All right?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
All right? So okay, so let's talk to Gandhi and Danielle.
What do you think modern man?

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Do I think I am one?

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Or what do I think Gandhi? You are the modern man?

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
I guess. I guess we're talking about a threshold of
sensitivity and uh and uh showing vulnerability. You know, they say,
according to this list of the people who put the
survey together, that men fifteen twenty years ago and more,
the things on this list they would never even consider

(13:13):
showing their feelings. They'd never consider being okay with having
a woman manager. I don't know, things have changed so much.
I just wanted to kind of revisit and bring these
things to the service. What Gandhi, So what do you think?

Speaker 4 (13:25):
I think all of those are awesome, and I think
that they're important and very good qualities to have. I
think that a lot more men are not as comfortable
with the stay at home dad thing as try to
say that they are, because I think the majority of
my girlfriends at this point are the bread winners in
the family and are the ones making a lot of money,
and it makes their husbands or boyfriends uncomfortable and they've
had the discussion, I'm not going to be a stay

(13:47):
at home dad.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
So I think that it's a good thing.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
But I think a lot of guys are not okay
with it, even if they say in that survey that
they are.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I believe that God to be honest, I would love
to be a stay at home something. I have no problem.
I keep saying, Alex, go ahead, I want you to
support us. I'm gonna quit my job and just gonna
I'm just like you know, I'll make dinner, I'll make
sure the house is cool, and you know, take care
of the dogs. And I want to be a stay
at home dead. I have no problem doing it. Yeah,

(14:16):
of course, you know, fifteen years ago it was a
different thing. I enjoyed. I enjoyed, you know, not being
a stay at home dad. I would love to stay home.
I would love to be a stay at home dad,
but with no kids.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Okay, there work bad way at home.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I don't I wouldn't mind being the homemaker, the guy
who stays at home and just keeps the house running.
I have no problem doing that, none at all.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
See.

Speaker 11 (14:46):
I think that my husband, if he if push came
to shove, he would definitely do it. But I think
that he loves the hustle and bustle of the work
of being out there and bringing home the bacon and
providing for the family, and you know what I mean, Like,
I think that that's important to him. So I think
that he loves doing that, and he loves what he does,
so I think he would rather do that.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Okay, that's cool. So I don't know. If you come
from an old school family where the dad provides and
the wife raises the kids, and there's nothing wrong with that.
If that's what that's that's the journey you choose to
be on. But there are a lot of a lot
of people would just I don't want to do that.
Guys like I got to get out of the house.

(15:28):
I can't stay home all day with kids. I would
I would, I would have no problem, no problem, staying
at home and not making a living, no income.

Speaker 11 (15:44):
But you know what's funny going through what we have
been going through, staying home and not having to do
you realize that if you did do that, how many
things you could go without? Like how many things you
wouldn't have to buy or you wouldn't have to wear,
you wouldn't have to use. I've been sitting here, gone, well,
if I didn't do this, I wouldn't need that, like totally,
you would save money. So, you know, might be a

(16:06):
good thing, Elvis.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
No, you know, I can eat zucchini every day. I'm
growing it. Yeah, becoming self sufficient with zucchini. We have
all the zucchini and basel one needs. I don't know.
Autumn is online twenty four. Let's see what her situation is. Hello, Autumn,
welcome to the show. How are you feeling today?

Speaker 6 (16:25):
I'm feeling great.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
We're doing very well. I'm becoming very comfortable becoming a
stay at home dad with no kids. Anyway, So talk
about your talk about your situation, Autumn.

Speaker 9 (16:38):
So I actually bring home plice as much money as
my husband does, and his friends like to give him
crap for it. Saying I bring home the bacon, and
he likes to brag and say I bring home the
whole pig.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yea, So he loves it. He's into it, he's proud
of you, and he has no problem with it. Good.
You know what. I love hearing that because I think
it's so silly to be living in this world where well,
I'm expected to do this, so therefore I must do that. Well,
who cares what other people think? You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
how do you feel about it? Though? I mean, did
you ever think it'd be a there'd be an issue

(17:12):
with your husband with you?

Speaker 9 (17:13):
No, not at all.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Making more money? Yeah, you just know he's a cool guy.
He's okay with it.

Speaker 9 (17:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (17:19):
When he married me and I'm older than him.

Speaker 9 (17:21):
I thought he would be okay with it.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, all right, So it's a cool situation. I bet
there are a lot of people out there listening and going, God,
I wish my situation was like that. But yeah, you
keep living your great life. Autumn. You sound awesome. You
sound like you've got a lot of positivity going, and
