Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show,
rolling back.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Into carpool season right where more and more people are
you know, they're getting back to being on schedule and
being prompt.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
And on time.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
So, in other way, is it too early? Do think
people are carpooling right now?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Like Nate was saying, how he pulls into the garage
every day and there's a car in front of him.
It's what guys in the car pool together.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Were construction workers, and they get out, they don't say
a word, And I just feel like that must be
the most miserable carpool ever. These four guys, they probably
just are so bitter they have to go to work
at five o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
They get out and just go on their way. They're
separate ways.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's not supposed to be unless you make it that way.
It's not supposed to be like a social get together.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
It is.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You know, it's a ride.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's an economically sound way to ride together. So I
know that you guys carpool every once in a while
again in the morning, Yeah, sure, I.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Drive, and then usually it's Sam and Andrew and sometimes Gandhi. Yeah,
and I got to say, I feel sometimes more like
car service than carpool because you drive every time because.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I'm the driver.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
And then but then there's a pickup spot, so everyone's
got to make up to make it to the pickup
spot on time. And usually it's Andrew running down the
block because he couldn't make it, you know, so he
kind of haul.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Okay, that's the carpool thing.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Though. If you're gonna ride in a carpool, it's not
gonna be as convenient as riding by yourself. Okay, but
there's there's gotta be some political crap going on too.
Let's say you're car pooling every day with three other
people and you just you're like, oh, dear God, no,
I'd rather just be alone in my car.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I don't I don't want to listen to them. I
don't want it.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I don't want to like yeah, you know, and so
you have to like break out of the car pool.
It's like it's almost like breaking up with whoever cuts
your hair, you know. I don't know, Oh yeah, you know.
How do you get out of this without hurting their feelings?
Like escaping your carpool? I don't know.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
I don't know. I don't know if you can do
it without hurting feelings unless it's you know, a feelings
mutual thing and you both hate each other, and then
it's like, oh good, thank god.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You could easily lie and go. You know, I'd just
rather leave the house later. So you guys go ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
What is it like a vote thing, you know, if
you have to extricate somebody from the carpool to the
other carpoolers kind of just like vote, say no, yeah,
we got to get this.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
That's a good question, that would be. That's a good question.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, yeah, I want to hear from you. Text us
now at fifty five one hundred. My text isn't working,
so you guys have to watch it now textus at
fifty five one hundred. We want to hear about your
carpool nightmares, whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Who got kicked out and why exactly?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
So the questions come up, what are the rules of carpooling.
I'm assuming if you're driving, you're in charge of the
air conditioning and the radio and whatever you're listening to.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Absolutely, I'd also like to set a rule that when when,
if so, the carpool person in charge is listening to
the radio or whatever, they're listening to. Don't have competing media,
like I can't. You can't be in your back seat
play on Instagram videos and stuff because I want to
hear the whole car needs to hear what I'm listening to.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh okay, you're driving, so you you rule, You rule
the car.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
I need to hear the news in the morning.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
I don't want to hear people talking too loudly because
I want to hear those reports.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Oh yeah, I talked the whole way in today she did.
Speaker 8 (03:09):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (03:09):
Oh no, I don't mind that.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That's it.
Speaker 9 (03:12):
When I'm riding with Lisa in the car and I
have the radio on, and all of a sudden she's
listening to some Instagram video and she turns it up
loud so she can hear it. I'm like, yo, put
the earbuds in. This is when I'm driving. We're listening
to what I want to listen to. I'm sorry, that's
that's the rule. If you're driving, you're in charge. You
are the ruler there. Yeah, Gandhi, what do you think?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Okay, what if all of the people in the carpool
are equally paying for gas or tolls or whatever. You
guys are all splitting that financially, does that person still
get the right to do everything?
Speaker 10 (03:42):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (03:43):
Yes, because they're paying the insurance on the car and
paying for the car, so yes. Okay, there's still more
uh financially committed to what's going on there than everybody else.
Speaker 10 (03:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I love how we're making the rules right here, right now,
Line nineteen, currently in her teacher carpool. Let's go live
to a carpool here. Come along, let's see what's going
on in a Nicole's car. How you doing Nicole?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
How are you doing well?
Speaker 8 (04:07):
All right?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
So how many people in the car as we speak?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
So there's four people including me?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Now, and you guys are all good friends? Or how
do you all get together to form this carpool?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Well, we worked in the city, but we live in
Long Islands, so we all live, you know, geographically close
to each other and our friends.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Okay, are there?
Speaker 11 (04:29):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
How long have you been doing this with the same group?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh, they've been doing it for like what twenty of them?
So two of them twenty years and then two others
of us gets today and one a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now hold on, I can't imagine riding into the city
every single day for twenty years with the same person.
But obviously it's working out for you guys, right, I mean,
is there ever a political struggle in the car like
ooh you smell or ooh, I don't want to listen
to that.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
The only issue we have is that I'm not the
best driver, So sometimes I worry that if I stop
short one more time, they're going to take me out
of carpool. But other than that, no, good. We have
the system, you know, like it's six am, don't thok
to me, don't say good morning, just fore morning. And
(05:20):
sometimes we talk, sometimes we don't. Sometimes we watch not
for sometimes we you know, tell stories. It's just no
one has feeling shirt. We all do what we need
to do.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Good. She seems like you guys have figured it out, right.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm sure there are some other car polls listening going,
oh god, I wish I was in that car. But
you know, all right, you got to get to work.
Well listen, uh, and who pays for everything?
Speaker 8 (05:47):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I mean, do you guys do you.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Just take turns driving and that's how that's your contribution,
or like, do you we.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Pay for a parking spot, so we change that schedule,
right organized, people in this.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Car all right, there you go, Well listen, thanks for
your infhon Nicole. You tell tell everyone in the car
pool we love him and you have a safe drive
to work.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Okay, well shout out.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
There you go, all right. Line seventeen is Anthony. I'll
listen to why they had to kick someone out of
the car. How you knowing, Anthony?
Speaker 10 (06:23):
Who?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Lady, Hello lady.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So are you carpooling right now? Or do you carpool
just periodically?
Speaker 11 (06:30):
No?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
No, this is this is this is a couple of
years ago we gave we gave.
Speaker 11 (06:35):
The god warning.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
He it got better for a couple of days, and
then it went right back again.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
What do you mean he had a body odor problem
here his body order, so every day he would wed.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Yes, so we gave him the warning. It got better,
then it got bad again. So we just said we
were I think the carpool were canceling the carpool, but
it was a lie. We just got rid of him
and we just kept carpooling ourselves.
Speaker 9 (07:09):
I think that was very fair, Like you gave him
the opportunity, he cleaned it up. Then he went back
the other way. You like, hey, listen, you gotta go.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And you never found out you're still carpooling behind his back. Okay,
just one day the carpool VI operated. I don't know
what happened to them. They're just like, all right, well
look so now you're no longer carpooling. Now you just
you'd rather be in the car on your own. Obviously, Anthony,
I guess he's okay, look he kicked us out of
(07:36):
the car. Where just do we smell?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Uh, well, okay, here's the ultimate is justin still on
line eighteen? I think, hey, justin already? Hell lady, all right,
tell everyone why you were once kicked out of a carpool.
Speaker 11 (07:52):
So yeah, definitely not my proudest moment.
Speaker 10 (07:55):
I had something terrible to eat the previous night, unfortunately,
and uh, I was, needless to say, kind of lighting
the car up. We had to pull over, and I
was ejected from the car for being gassy.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And that's yeah, I mean, what did you do? Question?
Speaker 10 (08:17):
We live in a country, you know, a country town,
so everybody kind of you know, knows everybody. I just
called a friend that morning.
Speaker 11 (08:23):
And I've unfortunately not been invited back to that car.
Speaker 10 (08:27):
Pool since I couldn't tell you why, but it must
have been a moment. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, it
was probably some of my better work.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
But uh yeah, Lord, all right, well okay, but so
are you friends with these guys at least?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (08:47):
Yeah, we're we're still friends.
Speaker 11 (08:49):
Like I said, I've.
Speaker 10 (08:51):
I don't know that I'm I'm welcome.
Speaker 11 (08:52):
Back in the car pool.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
But for the most part, you know.
Speaker 11 (08:54):
We're still friends. We're making it work.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
All right, but you know, as your friends, they only
want to meet you large well ventilated areas.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
On the side of the friends.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
With this one, at first, I was feeling bad, like, oh,
you have a stomach ache. That's kind of sad. But
then you seemed a little proud of it, and I
bet you were making it worse in that car Yeah
I am.
Speaker 11 (09:16):
I'm not on it against them, I'll be honest.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I justin have a safe and non gassi a way
to work today. Thanks for listening to us. Uh, Becky
and Savannah George. I love Savannah. So you had to
leave your carpool because of what? Why'd you have to
leave the carpool?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Becky, the girl that I was riding with written turn
on the ac.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
So like in August, Sin September and Georgia, when you're
having to be in the car for an hour to
get to work, it's miserable.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
It's like a human face violation.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And he also said she drove really slow, so it
took forever to get to work or get home.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Right, Yeah, she dive like ten fifteen miles tower under
the speed limit. So she just like it was like
riding with a very very old grandma that just wanted
to be super safe. I understand, but we had to
leave super early to get to work because she drove
so slow.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
So what's your deal now, Becky?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Are you in a new carpool or did you just
give it all up and just say I'll be alone.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I'll be okay.
Speaker 10 (10:23):
At that point I gave it up.
Speaker 11 (10:25):
I was like, I'll just drive myself, Like this.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Isn't worth it, I'll drive myself. But now we live
in Savannah and the commute isn't that bad?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
All right, good, good, all right? So Becky left a carpool.
Thanks for listening, Becky. Now what about the discussing things
people do in carpools? I mean, you could be at
that hour of the morning, at your worst, you know
what I'm saying, not really caring about other people's feelings
or well. For instance, one we're called Sam, one's seventeen
got kicked out.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Asked Sam, why?
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Gandhi Sam, why did you get kicked out of the carpool?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Man?
Speaker 11 (11:00):
I'll keep the real I was could have been my
toenails in the back.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Sam slips, Hey, the girls do their makeup, so why
couldn't I?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
I could my toenails.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I was going to a couple of long days of work, man,
you know long.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
It exactly involves shrapnel, Like.
Speaker 11 (11:26):
I think I would just over it.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
At that point, I was like, Man, I'd gotta be
my stuff, giding my stuff over with.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Are you out of there now? Are you done? They
just kicked you out?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You drive alone every day because of your toenails. All right,
it makes sense. I get it. Thanks for the warning, Sam,
thanks for listening to us, And there you go. Carpool rules.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You know, we sit here in the comfort of our
little air conditioning studio every morning not really understanding what
the life in traffic is all about every morning, and
then you know, when you can roll into the lives
of the car poolers. Pretty interesting, all right, So thank you.
We hope you, all of you in your carpool vote
for us every morning, if you if you don't mind,
