Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning show.
You just said, as time passes, things that were just normal,
everyday things in our lives just slowly disappear. Oh yeah,
for instance, I just don't see coins on the sidewalk anymore. Yeah,
because no one uses coins exactly. But did anyone notice
(00:24):
there's just no coins on the sidewalk anymore. They just
kind of rolled away. So no find a penny, pick
it up.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Then all day you'll have good luck anything.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Right, Elvis, I saw a quarter the other day. I'm like, oh,
I haven't seen this in forever. A quarter on the ground.
A quarter A quarter. He turned Scotty Beyond in the
Serial Killers podcast room. Scotty, Yes, Scotty. Whatever happened to
toys and cereal boxes? They just don't do it anymore.
It cost them too much money. So now it's just
scanned this QR code for extra fun. Seen them? So
(00:56):
I remember I would make my mom get some fruity
pebbles or fruit loops whatever. I would take the box
home and I would get a huge bowl and I
would dump them all out. Oh yeah, just to get
just to get the little envelope with the toy and
of course at the very end it was all nothing
but just sugar coming out. Then Mom would be like, oh,
I can't believe you're eating that, and she would stir
it all up and put it back in the box. Yeah,
(01:17):
but we don't see toys in cereal boxes anymore. One
thing that I don't see that much of anymore, and
I'm not I'm okay with it. Actually, I don't see
as many people smoking cigarettes anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
We were just talking about that over the weekend. Really, yes,
there's one guy we work with who smoked cigarettes, and
every time he did I was like, what is this
the eighties?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Are we in Europe?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
What's happening? He smokes in twenty five?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Well, when we were at the bar, and of course, uh,
Billy Bush comes out of nowhere from you know, from
Extra Oh, el Elvis deriding everybody, Elvis, would you like
a cigarette? My friends and I were going to smoke
a cigarette. He made it sound like it was like
a big event. Nobody does, I said, I said, well,
I've had a couple of drinks. No I don't. I'm fine.
(02:00):
But to them it was like, oh, well, we were
at home with our wives and girlfriends, we never smoked cigarettes,
but here in this island paradise, we're going to smoke
some cigarettes. That's how he talks.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Is he a cartoon character, He's a cartoon of himself.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
He makes me laugh. Billy Bush makes me laugh so
hard because he's I don't know, let's see things that
are disappearing. Of course, you know physical checks. Yes, I
was asked to send a check the other day. I
didn't know what to do. I'm like, uh, yeah, do
I have those look scotty bees? And they're writing a
check right now? I am the doctor I'm going to
(02:43):
today said we only take checks or cash, and I
don't have any cash.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's so funny. That's my doctor.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
That he's going to for something and say they are
so old. I love him to death.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Not going to say his name, but he's so old
school that everything in the office is old, and that
they still take.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
A check, that you have to have a check. Wow, Yeah,
it's crazy. And what about semicolons? What have you? I
don't even know how to say it anymore. Do people
use those anymore?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah? I feel like everyone's getting them tattooed on themselves
now because you go ahead, well, because it means, you know,
the story is not over, This continues on. Yeah, listen,
I'm just saying I'm not having one. I'm telling you why.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They're there by chat GBT uses them still, I mean
they Yeah, it does. I thought that dot dot dot
meant the story still on. Well, but I heard that
younger people make fun of us who use the dot
dot dots. Oh really, why because you must be old
if you use dot dot dots? Wow? What else is
(03:46):
missing in our lives? Have you? Have you noticed any
missing scary They don't put They don't post the kids
that are missing on milk cartons anymore because they're all plastic.
That's not true. I was waiting for someone to say
that kids that my lactaid is another old person thing.
(04:09):
My lactaid is a milk carton. They could easily put
some missing kids on. There.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Are these just like things that we're seeing or is
it sort of more broad like society is missing these things?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Now? Well, it could be anything. The things that are missing.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Facts checking has just gone out the window. People just
read a headline and they say, oh this is true,
and then they circulate it all over the place, and
not one person bothers to actually check is this true
or not. I've done it myself before, but I feel
like that's gone.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Where up my apartments located downtown around the corner on
West Broadway used to be this independent hardware store. Nope,
now it's a it's owned by someone else. It's not
like John's Hardware. What happened to though?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I mean the mom and pop stores?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yes, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
We're not kids playing outside. Yes, I don't see that anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Definitely missing.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, so my head, I'm like, children don't exist. They're
not outside, They're nowhere.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's because this world has changed. People at businesses who
are entering phones they don't answer phones anywhere. Businesses they don't.
And what happened to twenty four hour businesses? There used
to be a lot a lot more places open around
the clock. Oh yeah, now anyway, I don't know. I
was just it just started when I saw that lonely
(05:23):
coin on the sidewalk. I'm like, this is so weird,
how odd? Hm? But you know, society moved forward and
things disappear.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You know what went away for a while too. I
think they're coming back now, more fireflies. I didn't see
any of those for a very long time, and then
I started seeing some over summer and I got so happy.
I'm like, oh, you're back. Where have you gone?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Well, let's hope we have a huge summer of fireflies
coming back. And they're saying this year's Cicada conference is
going to be massive.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Every year. These things are we supposed to kill those
other bugs?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Still?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Remember those other lantern fly?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, the lantern flies came out.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And said we were never supposed to kill him in
the first place. Slaughtered that's nice.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I felt so awful slamming my foot down on those beautiful,
colorful little lantern flies.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I never did it when I used to see parents
encouraging their kids, like yeah, stop it out. I thought,
what is happening all this time?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And they told him, didn't They tell us to put
them an envelopes and mail them to the Yesty pick
up the cart. Yeah, the one is to send the carcasses. Oh,
I'm glad that that ended anyway. I just wanted to
just let you know there are things disappearing out there.
Analog clocks, people are texting things in. I don't think
a lot of people, young people know how to read
(06:36):
an analog clock. Anymore. Oh that's sad, and then cursive
writing is gone.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I read Curve was coming back because people think it's cool.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Okay, good, all right, there you go. I'm in. I mean,
it's like scary as member's only jacket. It's gonna come
back eventually.
