Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's daily highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
How do you explain why you dream certain things?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (00:09):
I wish there was a way to explain that.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (00:12):
So I last night I had a dream. It was
actually a flashback when I was a kid, when I
I must have used a curse word from my mother
and she dragged me into the bathroom and she washed
my mouth out with soap. And I never really understood
how effective that was because now I you know, I cursed,
(00:34):
like to say it almost as much as Danielle. But
isn't that a weird punishment washing your kid's mouth with soap?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yeah, but again is it effective?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Then?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Okay, no, it was, you know for that moment. Yeah,
I mean it was. It was gross having soap in
my mouth.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Froggy. Did your mom ever do that for you to you, like,
wash your mouth? That was soap?
Speaker 6 (00:57):
My grim minded I got a switch and a mouth
washed out with soap at the same time.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
I don't know if they know what to switch. A
switch is they go out to the tree and pull
a limb off and beat you with it off a
tree a branch. Wow, exactly. My swing used to be
used to be connected to that branch. Now you're hitting
my ass with it?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Correct?
Speaker 5 (01:19):
No, yeah, it was like a switch. They it was
so weird, like they never did that. I had never
had my parents like messed with their landscaping to punish me.
But but the soap in the mouth thing, I'm like,
if my mother, if she was alive right now, I'd
be like, Okay, let's talk this through. Was my mouth
that dirty? You felt that soap was going to cleanse
(01:42):
the cursing out of me. I don't understand how this works.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
That seems like one of those things people just did
because their parents did it, and their parents did it.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I can still taste it to this day. I could
still think about it and taste it.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Really, I feel like we all have. Like I remember
my mom telling because my grandfather was a barber at
one point and he had that bar that leather barber
belt that he would take his scissors and he would
like make sure they were sharp, and he would use
that if my mom got out of line, and so
that was like and she remembers cleaning out the house
(02:16):
when he passed away and going, oh, get rid of
that beer is there.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I like his text.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
My sister got soap put in her mouth so much
she started to like the taste and would ask for
it for a snack.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
What her favorite was watermelon soap. Oh wow cool? Yeah,
I don't know, it's just weird.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Gandhi, did you have any weird things your mom and
dad would do to just lock you in your room?
And what would they do when you were a menace
like you are today?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I mean, listen, I have Indian parents. They definitely spanked us,
like they would bite us up. I'm not sure to
this day that they still wouldn't try just let it happen.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Uh, But that was that was.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Our biggest the way that they would punish us all
the time. They said grounding was more torture for them.
It's like now you're a home oh am, I going
to with you, go out and go do your things.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
We had this conversation several years ago and some people
were saying that their their mother would call them into
the kitchen yell at them for whatever, you know, heinous
crime they committed, put raw rice on the floor and
make them kneel on it on their knees.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Pikes isn't that like water torture type stuff?
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I don't know, it just it seems. It seems it. Yeah,
but how much better is soap in your mouth? I mean,
get real, I don't know the weird things they used
to Like, my dad would just look at me. That's
all I needed.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
My dad would lift me up and I'd pee the
floor Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Cave. We recreate that today because it was so big.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You know, my dad was six foot you know whatever,
and he was a big dude. So if my mom
would like take you know, you don't know what always happened.
Dad gets home and then Mom's like, do you have
any idea what these kids did? And then the poor
dad would have to go, okay, I'll take care of it,
and then just lift me and I'd pee.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
And then if you're from an Italian household and people
are texting in your grandma would take, you know, the
spoon out of the sauce and slap it upside your
head and then sauce would like splatter all.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Over the room. Oh what are you gonna do? Anyway?
So punishment, I don't know did kids get punished anymore?
Is that like an old man? Is that the old
man question.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
No, the way people operate, it does not appear to
be any consequences.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
But I saw a this girl had to be twelve,
maybe maybe maybe eleven at the grocery store the other day.
She wanted something, the mom said no. She cursed to
her mother.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Could you imagine?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I did not even respond. I thought, if that was me,
I don't even I don't even know what would have happened.
But I really don't even have any idea. But it
wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You know what I did once to suspense, or so
I tried to be He was throwing a tantrum in
Target when he was a kidd. He threw himself on
the floor. He's screaming, yeah. So I was like, okay,
I'm gonna do so. I was very calm. They probably
had me on security, lifting him up, throwing him over
my shoulder, screaming like a lunatic as he's walking out
of the door, right, I was very calm. I put
(05:14):
him in his seat, buckled him in, and then we
close the door, and I go, I'm screaming like a
lunatic in the car. But I did it in my car.
Once I got in the car, so then nobody heard
me screaming like a lunatic.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
There you go, there you go, because people jump in right,
you're doing something.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Wrong, right their kid some cultures. My best friend, he
was his mom and dad were from Mexico. His mother
would take her shoe off and straight on the hand
with it.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I got hit by a straight chonklow once because my
friend was getting it from her mom. She's Dominican. She
took that shoe off and threw it and it hit me.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
I was like, come on now, Oh, the people are texting. Oh,
the people are texting. This is so crazy. They would
my mom would sprinkle paprika on my mouth, on my tongue. Well,
a lot of people who said that they ate you know,
they were they were having their mouths washed out.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Was hoping they liked it. They enjoyed the case.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
See not effective. No, the kids like, yeah, give me
the soap.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I will tell you.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
We had a paddle in our house and it had
some sort of poem written on the side, like a
poem about slapping your child's ass with this paddle.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I don't know, and I knew where it was.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
And if ever I was acting up, I know my
mom would say, you know where you're gonna get the
paddle when you get home.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
But I never got it, not once.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It was they just had to threaten you with it.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
It's it's like having nuclear warheads. We're threatening we have them. Yeah,
we're not going to push the button, but we have them.
Let's hope it's always like that, shall we?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah? But the raw rice thing, oh, I think that
just hurts thinking about it.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, like walk on these legos.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh god, Oh my gosh, that's Oh. Legos give me
nightmares on the floor.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I know it hurts so much.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
It is Earth Day and there are things you can do,
like stop wasting your leftovers, stop over using napkins when
you go to the grocery store, use reusable grocery bags.
You know, these are the little things you can do.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Today's a good day to pick up trash.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yeah, if you see some trash, pick it up. Shane
is online nineteen. Let's see how he was punished as
a child. I'm so intrigued.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Hello Shane, Hi, good morning.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
How you doing.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I think I'm speaking for everyone. I think we're okay?
Are we okay?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
So your grandparents what would they do to you if
you cursed, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I would have one grandpurent holding me down in the
chair and the other one dripping mustard in my mouth
cursing or acting up. And literally it took me forty
years to finally try mustard again. I was so anti mustard.
It was like Danielle with Mayl. I was like, no, mustard,
don't put it near me.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's true. I mean, they have no idea what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
I mean, they're ruining your hot dog experience for life, right,
It's like this is that'll get.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Them to start dogs?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Pretzels. Nothing, No mustard, no honey mustard, nothing.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
So how are how are you and your mustard today, Shane?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well? I started, I started cooking, and I tried using
it with with pork and it turned out okay. And
then I just did it a few more times and
and now I mean, I can't say I'll eat it
on its own, but like in a mixture or sauce.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I love it. Right. Isn't that weird? Though?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Something from your childhood still affects you to this day?
All Shane, I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
My thing is, you know, if I got a little
spanking here and there to punish me. I still enjoy it.
So I don't know. I'm spanking is good for me?
Is that bad anyone? Everyone's looking at me like, I'm okay,
shane An, I stay, it's mustard season. Let's go to
the ball game. What's up, Scarvy Well?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I just want to know, is it is it true
that Well?
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Who knows if they've done any surveys or any kind
of research as to whether the way that they dealt
with we got dealt with?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
You know what? For instance, moment, what question do you
want to ask you?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
So my mom used to chase me around the dining
room table and I used to be threatened with physical violence?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Is that more effective?
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Physical violence? What do you mean like a spanking? Or
she bashed your face in back.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
She even installed the fear of God in me? So
my question is is that more effective? Or is it
the putting people in time out? Kind of like the
new way of doing things?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't know. I don't know. You're a parent, Danielle,
Let's ask you what do you think.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I mean, We've never hit our kids. We've always used
the time out or you know, put them in a
in their room or grounded them or taken away their electronics,
and you know, I mean, it seems like it's worked.
I mean, they're they're pretty. I mean, look, they're are
not perfect, that's for damn sure, but I feel like
they're you know, they're okay. But the thing is, you know,
(10:08):
nowadays kids threaten you. They're like, oh, you're gonna hit us.
We're gonna call dafis.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Like they know right away. You think I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I know people's kids who are threatened all the time.
If mom hits me, I'm gonna call you. Oh they know,
really they know nowadays you can't get away with things.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's so weird that little Johnny now has an attorney
speed dial.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I threatened my parents with that once. Yeah, me too,
And they were like, go right ahead, please call them
right now, and you go live with some strangers. Let
me know how that works out.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I was like, I'll call you never mind. Do you
know what my mother used to do.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
She used to pack my bag and she used to say,
I'm calling the bad girls home. And she used to
get on the phone and she say, go, yep, come
and get her. She'll be waiting on the pot.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Make me sit on the porch with.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
My suitcase, waiting for the bad girls home. And then
they wouldn't come, obviously, and then she go, oh, they
got busy. They're gonna come another day.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
I got a question. Is the bad girl's home right
down the road from the poor farm? Because I was home.
If I don't stop spending my parents' money as a kid,
we're gonna have to move to the poor farm.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And it's right up the street for the bad girls.
Think it might be right across.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I don't know the related They have adjoining road or something.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't know. All right, the poor the poor farm.
We gotta move to the poor farm, Okay, Dad,
