Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey, I'll be the first to admit that double good popcorn, yeah,
that you're selling for your kids fundraisers.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
It's really great popcorn. It's pretty damn good right now,
it's very good. Well, you know, each kernel costs five dollars, basically,
that is true.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So double good popcorn is one of the many things
that parents are selling for their kids for their fundraisers,
fundraisers for band camp or for trips or for you
know whatever. And it's all good stuff. And I'm not
complaining or bitching about the fact that, you know, they
need to raise money to send kids to do these
great things that provide fantastic enrichment for the kids.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But after a while, especially when you're scary and all
your friends have kids, and of course he has no kids.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
He doesn't even have a plant exactly.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, So he gets all these requestment his friends saying
I need one hundred dollars for this bag of popcorn,
I need eighty dollars for these cooking easel, the candy bar.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It adds up, and after a while you're.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Like, no, So your friends recently put you on a
group chat right, asking everyone in the group chat to
provide money for this this popcorn sale, right.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And I tried to stay silent and wait, and then
after two or three guys jumped in. Everyone's like, we're scary.
He's always first to respond to things. Oh, we're asking
for money, ha ha ha. So I'm like, okay, you
got it.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Here we go. Let me hand you my money.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
And I bought like a whole got the value pack
of all the variety of this double good stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Which the strong armed you into doing it.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, which is fine because I always give to my kids,
my friend's kids all the time. But I have no
use for it. I live alone. So I wind up
spending one hundred bucks. And then I get the popcorn
and I just bring it into the radio station for
everybody else. Nate seems to be enjoying the popcorn.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I'm glad you dropped a hundred dollars so I could
have a snack. Daniel Is it good? Danielle?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Is it.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So go to line nineteen. Let's start to Kelly. Kelly
the popcorn fundraiser. What are your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Are you in? You out?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (02:08):
I'm I always support it. My nephew gets does this
every year. But I hate the popcorn fundraiser.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
It's so extensive.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
And you get these tiny little snack bags that only
left they're only for one person.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
They're so good.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, that's my problem. If the bags were bigger. Sixty
dollars for three bags of popcorn that look like you know,
like you said, the snack bag, that's a rip. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
It's seven.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
But what they do is they justify by saying, well,
it's for the kids. Keep in mind you, well, no,
it's also for the popcorn companies that's selling it. So
but you you're a parrot, right, you have three kids
and they're involved in all sorts of sports, so I
know you have to do your fair share of fundraising
as well.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Do you get embarrassed?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Me?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
How do you feel when you have to put that
out there? Because if you don't participate and the other
moms find out that you're not doing your your.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Job, then you you feel a little guilty.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
Right, I do, But I you know, I just put
it out there. I'll usually put it on social media
and if you want it, you want it. If you don't,
it's fine, but then I'll always support their kids. So
that's where you know that things are scary, like you
don't have. You know you're not getting it back.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
You know, you're.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
Just supporting everybody else.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
But you know, I'm out.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
You just handing out the money. Next, or what.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Kind of a fundraiser can we have for scary breakfast?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Okay, scary get free breakfast all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Listen, but wait a minute, go back to something else, now, Kelly,
let's say let's let's think about one of your kids
and there they play what hockey? I mean, I don't know.
Give me a sports that they.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
Raise money for Baseball and basketball?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Okay, baseball, Okay, baseball. One of your kids is playing baseball,
you need to raise money for whatever. Now, if you
sell like popcorn, they only get a percentage of the sales,
right right, Okay, I guess let's just.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Say the top one.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
I I've never done that one I do. We always
do like a cooler of cheer is a good.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
One, and right, it doesn't matter what it is.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm just wondering that what percentage of the of the
money coming in from your friends goes to the actual
baseball team.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
Well, if it's something like the cooler, it's one hundred
percent because.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Okay, we buy the cooler.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
We we every family donates a bottle of alcohol, and
then it's one hundred percent.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Okay, but whatever your kids, So you got okay.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I'm going to focus in on specifically these companies that
are they will take some of the proceeds to pay
for the product, and they make money too.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Write.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
My question is, wouldn't it be better if we just
round it up or rounded out and I just gave
you a donation rather than having to buy the popcorn?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And you know, I mean, can I just do that?
Isn't that more lucrative?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
I think that would be better.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I just did that for somebody's fundraiser. I think it
was for Scotty Bee's daughter. You could buy whatever it
was they were selling, or they said if you just
donated the money, they would get more of the money for.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I'd rather do that.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That's what I did and.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Said, I mean, Nate will be pissed off because he
doesn't get free popcorn.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
Yeah, I think I just ate four dollars worth of this. Yeah, yes,
Scotty what the popcorn is fifty percent? I'm looking at
the website right now and.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Okay, so you need this popcorn in this situation, they
get fifty off of fifty.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And then the team gets fifty. Correct.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
And do you know what I've sold you guys in
the last two years. You got wrapping paper, popcorn, cookie
dough discount cards for a town you don't live in.
And I think you own a softball field by my house.
I bought it, Kelly, Kelly, I bought a softball.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
For Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
But I told her I've done though, no more, I'm
not doing it anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, I'm not doing it anymore either. Now, don't get
mad at me. I'm not I'm not buying any more
anymore anything. But I will donate money though, Kelly. So
I'm not that awful of a guy. Thank you for
listening to is Kelly and all the best in this
holiday season.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Thank you. I have another Kelly line eighteen. She hates
the fundraisers.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, you're so much.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Listen to that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So Kelly's sister in law has us buy these T
shirts for the softball team.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
And it's a.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Different They joined teams every season. There's a new T
shirt every season.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Right, Well, yeah, but I thought that because it was
a travel team, she'd stay on it for a couple
of years. And now we've got this T shirt for
twenty five bucks per team she doesn't even play for anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
What are you gonna do with that came on it
and all that nothing? It just sits in my closet.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, you wash the car with it? You know.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It's like, okay, Well, so what if you just donated money?
Would your sister and all have a problem with that?
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I don't think so. I think that would be a
way better option.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Instead of, you know, just wasting all of the the
shirts that I'm never gonna use.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, yep, I Kelly, enjoy all those shirts. I'm sure
you're like five deep already and don't know what to
do with them. Donate them. There's someone else that they
can wear them. Thanks for listening to us, Kelly. So,
if you're a parent, I kind of got to this earlier.
Is there pressure? Is there guilt? Is there a level
of guilt if you don't if you don't perform?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I never did you guys, Remember, I don't think. I
think maybe there was one time I ever sent you
guys anything. I never ever bothered you guys to donate
to my kids stuff. I just didn't. I don't know.
I think I felt guilty asking you all for money.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
The thing is good, have lost the art of selling
stuff because the parents do everything. You just send links
out door to door and sell calendars anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's dangerous. You're not going to go door to door
anymore like you used to when we were kids.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Depending on where you live.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, yeah, true, but you know, you just never know.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Joe Anne line twenty. Remember when I went off on
the Girl Scouts. I mean I went on a tirade.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
He was not good. Hello joe Anne, okay try nineteen.
Hello joe Anne, good morning. How you Oh is this
joe Anne? This is okay? Good.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So you guys are selling something sort of unique for
the fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
What are you selling?
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Yeah? So we live in Maryland and we sell soft
shell crabs.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh different?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Okay, no, no wait wait wait why is that different?
Why is that different?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I don't know because I've never heard anybody selling that.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
And we tried the double good, we did the cooler raffle.
We we did like a fundraiser with honey baked hand
but it's like you were saying, if we the studio
puts up a certain amount, right, and we buy the
crabs wholesale because somebody knows the guy. So for us,
we just stand outside of the grocery store. They let
(08:47):
us do it, and we tell all of our friends
and family, like you want to help the girls, come
and buy the crabs, and it makes like thirty.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Dollars wow can okay? All right, but look at loo.
See now we are part of the problem here.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
We're oh popcorn, smopcorn, oh soft shell crabs.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
But they also cut out the middleman and they do it.
It's going to cost us less money. Yeah, the company's
not involved.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
They know a guy.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You're even not a shill for the company trying to
make their boost their profits, right, because that's all this
is is you're just a.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Salesperson for the company. It's true.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
So okay, So now we're like, now I'm in I
would so I would happily support your crab fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Of course they're alive. They have to be alive.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
They're alive, right, they're love crabs by dead crabs.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
You sit there in front of a grocery store with
a big bucket of live crabs. Yes, why are you laughing?
But why are you laughing?
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Well, I think it's just I've never seen that. I mean,
can I pick out my individual crab? Is it buy
the crab or buy the po well the soft show
you usually buy more than one. You buy like a
like a dozen or a half dozen. Yeah, do you
know anything about crab? I really don't actually know much
about crabs. I know the one crab you can eat
(10:12):
the claw right now.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You eat a soft show. You that's the whole thing.
Go ahead and say what you wanted to say, Joan.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
So when you come up, it's male or female? Right,
and then you can buy a dozens or an entire bushel.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Okay, wait, I have a different prices? Why male or female?
Does one taste better than the other.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
So some people don't like to deal with the like
female parts because you have to kick it out.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I think, I think, And keep in mind, in the
year twenty twenty four into twenty twenty five, we need
to you know, my crab identifies as a here issue.
You know, I've got to make sure that we're cool there.
But you know what, see, Look, you're living in Maryland
and you know crabs. Crabs are a thing there. It's
(11:03):
like pizza in New York, right, I mean it's not unusual.
I love that. See, I would happily. I would happily
support your kids and whatever they're doing, Like what do
they do? What do they do with this money they're
going out on? Are they getting like a trip to
like do the deadliest catch up there in the.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
No, So it pays for their entire competition season. So
I don't have to do double good or you know,
car washes or whatever. We do it one day in
the summer. We bang it out and that pace for
the entire studio for the years.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You've got it right.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Costumes their fees, right, Like I am on time for that.
I ain't got no time. So I am going to
sell all the crabs.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
See here's what's really great.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Very smart. You're a smart, smart person, Joanne. You know
your audience. You're in Maryland, they eat crab, but I
mean daily basically you know your audience.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And you and you cut out the middleman.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You you in a smart way, like you know a
guy who sells soft show crabs. You got it all
figured out. See, we would happily, happily support you. If
we were in Maryland.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
We're not.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I mean, here, Eric, we we do. We do bagels,
all right, Joanne, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Bagels.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, we sell bagels.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah. I would stand outside of grocery store and sell
like bagels or pizza.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Know your audience, all right, I think we've come up. Hey,
we've come upon something smart. Scottie, Scotty. From now on,
you got to sell Long Island stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I could definitely do bagels for.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sure, Bagels, Grandma pizza. That's big out there, absolutely. And
corn corn, that's it, bags of corn, Elvis.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You could get it from the stand for cheap, and
then we could resell it and make more money for
whatever it is we're making the money for.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Exactly in Miami, I'd stand up to stand up front,
sell cao here, some caffeine.
Speaker 3 (13:00):

Girl Scouts of America, all right,

mad at me. I'm not I'm not buying any more
anymore anything. But I will donate money though, Kelly. So
I'm not that awful of a guy. Thank you for
listening to is Kelly and all the best in this
holiday season.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Thank you. I have another Kelly line eighteen. She hates
the fundraisers.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, you're so much.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Listen to that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So Kelly's sister in law has us buy these T
shirts for the softball team.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
And it's a.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Different They joined teams every season. There's a new T
shirt every season.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Right, Well, yeah, but I thought that because it was
a travel team, she'd stay on it for a couple
of years. And now we've got this T shirt for
twenty five bucks per team she doesn't even play for anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
What are you gonna do with that came on it
and all that nothing? It just sits in my closet.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, you wash the car with it? You know.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It's like, okay, Well, so what if you just donated money?
Would your sister and all have a problem with that?
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I don't think so. I think that would be a
way better option.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Instead of, you know, just wasting all of the the
shirts that I'm never gonna use.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, yep, I Kelly, enjoy all those shirts. I'm sure
you're like five deep already and don't know what to
do with them. Donate them. There's someone else that they
can wear them. Thanks for listening to us, Kelly. So,
if you're a parent, I kind of got to this earlier.
Is there pressure? Is there guilt? Is there a level
of guilt if you don't if you don't perform?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I never did you guys, Remember, I don't think. I
think maybe there was one time I ever sent you
guys anything. I never ever bothered you guys to donate
to my kids stuff. I just didn't. I don't know.
I think I felt guilty asking you all for money.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
The thing is good, have lost the art of selling
stuff because the parents do everything. You just send links
out door to door and sell calendars anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's dangerous. You're not going to go door to door
anymore like you used to when we were kids.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Depending on where you live.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, yeah, true, but you know, you just never know.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Joe Anne line twenty. Remember when I went off on
the Girl Scouts. I mean I went on a tirade.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
He was not good. Hello joe Anne, okay try nineteen.
Hello joe Anne, good morning. How you Oh is this
joe Anne? This is okay? Good.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So you guys are selling something sort of unique for
the fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
What are you selling?
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Yeah? So we live in Maryland and we sell soft
shell crabs.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh different?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Okay, no, no wait wait wait why is that different?
Why is that different?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I don't know because I've never heard anybody selling that.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
And we tried the double good, we did the cooler raffle.
We we did like a fundraiser with honey baked hand
but it's like you were saying, if we the studio
puts up a certain amount, right, and we buy the
crabs wholesale because somebody knows the guy. So for us,
we just stand outside of the grocery store. They let
(08:47):
us do it, and we tell all of our friends
and family, like you want to help the girls, come
and buy the crabs, and it makes like thirty.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Dollars wow can okay? All right, but look at loo.
See now we are part of the problem here.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
We're oh popcorn, smopcorn, oh soft shell crabs.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
But they also cut out the middleman and they do it.
It's going to cost us less money. Yeah, the company's
not involved.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
They know a guy.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You're even not a shill for the company trying to
make their boost their profits, right, because that's all this
is is you're just a.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Salesperson for the company. It's true.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
So okay, So now we're like, now I'm in I
would so I would happily support your crab fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Of course they're alive. They have to be alive.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
They're alive, right, they're love crabs by dead crabs.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
You sit there in front of a grocery store with
a big bucket of live crabs. Yes, why are you laughing?
But why are you laughing?
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Well, I think it's just I've never seen that. I mean,
can I pick out my individual crab? Is it buy
the crab or buy the po well the soft show
you usually buy more than one. You buy like a
like a dozen or a half dozen. Yeah, do you
know anything about crab? I really don't actually know much
about crabs. I know the one crab you can eat
(10:12):
the claw right now.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You eat a soft show. You that's the whole thing.
Go ahead and say what you wanted to say, Joan.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
So when you come up, it's male or female? Right,
and then you can buy a dozens or an entire bushel.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Okay, wait, I have a different prices? Why male or female?
Does one taste better than the other.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
So some people don't like to deal with the like
female parts because you have to kick it out.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I think, I think, And keep in mind, in the
year twenty twenty four into twenty twenty five, we need
to you know, my crab identifies as a here issue.
You know, I've got to make sure that we're cool there.
But you know what, see, Look, you're living in Maryland
and you know crabs. Crabs are a thing there. It's
(11:03):
like pizza in New York, right, I mean it's not unusual.
I love that. See, I would happily. I would happily
support your kids and whatever they're doing, Like what do
they do? What do they do with this money they're
going out on? Are they getting like a trip to
like do the deadliest catch up there in the.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
No, So it pays for their entire competition season. So
I don't have to do double good or you know,
car washes or whatever. We do it one day in
the summer. We bang it out and that pace for
the entire studio for the years.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You've got it right.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Costumes their fees, right, Like I am on time for that.
I ain't got no time. So I am going to
sell all the crabs.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
See here's what's really great.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Very smart. You're a smart, smart person, Joanne. You know
your audience. You're in Maryland, they eat crab, but I
mean daily basically you know your audience.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And you and you cut out the middleman.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You you in a smart way, like you know a
guy who sells soft show crabs. You got it all
figured out. See, we would happily, happily support you. If
we were in Maryland.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
We're not.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I mean, here, Eric, we we do. We do bagels,
all right, Joanne, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Bagels.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, we sell bagels.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah. I would stand outside of grocery store and sell
like bagels or pizza.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Know your audience, all right, I think we've come up. Hey,
we've come upon something smart. Scottie, Scotty. From now on,
you got to sell Long Island stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I could definitely do bagels for.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sure, Bagels, Grandma pizza. That's big out there, absolutely. And
corn corn, that's it, bags of corn, Elvis.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You could get it from the stand for cheap, and
then we could resell it and make more money for
whatever it is we're making the money for.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Exactly in Miami, I'd stand up to stand up front,
sell cao here, some caffeine.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Let me wake you up. There you go for the
Girl Scouts of America, all right,
