Celebrating your friends, celebrating your family, celebrating your mentors, and
celebrating you international. Happy International Women's Day, Elvis Duran in
the Morning Show. It is International Women's Day. And I
would like to give a shout out to the men
in the room too for giving us the chance to
do this, because I know there are some people who
would not really let go of the rains, but you
(00:21):
guys did. Thank you. I have no problem doing this.
If you'd like us to go home, we will. May
I'll just tell you observation. Please. I'm reading all the
texts that are coming through in support of what you're
both doing today and what everyone's doing. And I mean,
there's so many women that listen to our show. Who
may I give you one? Yeah? Teresa in Fort Lauderdale,
(00:44):
she owns and operates pool service company called Peaceful Waters.
She runs. It's her place nice and if you know,
having a pool in South Florida, it's kind of a thing. Hope.
Business is great for Teresa. And I won't tell you
every time I hear of a business that is woman managed,
owned and staffed, it really does make you go oh okay, yeah,
(01:05):
and you kind of look into it. There's a there's
a travel agency I use out of Chicago, all women,
and it's always great to do business with them because
you know they have a focus going on. You can
understand sort of what the inner workings of this office
that's all the way in Chicago is all about because
they have that is their foundation. I think that's really cool.
I do too, and I enjoy working with teams of
(01:26):
women as well. We did for our off the Grid trip.
We worked with a team of women to get something
done and they turned it around and probably thirty minutes
and it was the most locked up, amazing plan. I
love them so much, so shout out to all of them.
Delaware North, Hello, there they go. Yeah, and explore better,
all right, Danielle Nobody for Entertainment. Yeah, okay, So have
you ever been to a baby shower at a strip club? Yes? No,
(01:48):
you have not. Go on Ireland. Baldwin's baby shower went
down over the weekend at a strip club. Her mom,
of course, Kimbassenger was there and it looked like it
was a lot of fun. It was called Jumbo's Clown Room.
I don't know if I'd want to go to the
clown room, but okay, and she, you know, Ireland is
dressed in like a silk or lace like underwear outfit
(02:12):
while pregnant. But okay, but they had a great time.
So as long as you're having fun, ladies, we love it.
So Nick Cannon posted this cryptic Instagram story on Monday
with the baby bottle and everybody was like, oh, baby
number thirteen is on the way. Then last night he
revealed that he has a new game show how called
Who's Having My Baby on e this spring with Kevin
Hart as the host. Cannon will choose from contestants to
(02:35):
see who will have his next baby. Some people are
saying that it's real. Some people are saying it's a joke.
It's unclear whether or not it as a joke. Who knows.
But knowing this guy, he'll do it for real, you
know whatever, and he has his hand into everything he
always does. He's got everything into everything that is truth.
Jimmy Fallon was talking about a holiday album, because you
(02:58):
know he loves the holidays. He always puts out different
things around the holidays. Well, he said, he's been writing
this for years. It's got some comedy songs, some traditional songs.
Some duets say it's gonna be a lot of fun.
So I'm guessing we're gonna have Jimmy up here because
he's gonna want to promote it and he just has
to walk down the book, so we better come visit.
Taylor Swift will received the twenty twenty three iHeartRadio Innovator
Award at the upcoming iHeartRadio Music Awards, which go down
(03:19):
March twenty seventh. It recognizes her contributions to the music
and her advocacy for women's rights and the LGBTQ plus community.
And you know that the show will air live from
the Adobe Theater in La on March twenty seventh on Fox.
NBC's launching a new competition series called Hot Wheels Ultimate Challenge.
So if you are a fan of the toy Car,
(03:39):
these people have to transform their cars into these souped
up versions of the Hot Wheels toys over ten episodes
and the winner gets twenty five thousand dollars in the
chance to get into finale, and then they get more
money if they win and it gets turned to an
official Hot Wheels car if your design is picked. So
I love all these new shows that they've been talking about. Yesterday,
(04:01):
I told you about Jamie Lee Curtis and how she
goes to bed early and that's why she doesn't like
to go to any parties. I was watching an interview
with her yesterday and she's asking artists to put on
concerts earlier so she could go. She said, you too,
could you do a Mattenee please? Cold Play twelve o'clock
would be perfect. Bruce Springsteen, do a bleep in Mattinee
so that I can cook you and Elvis yeah, which
(04:22):
he goes, Bruce, You're all just like me. You should
be doing earlier shows. So very funny. What are we
watching tonight? The Connors, the Goldbergs ab An Elementary Survivor,
the Mass singer Farmer wants a wife. Guys, that's on
tonight as well. Iheartradios see her. Hear her with Gloria
Stefan and Lato. That is on tonight on our iHeartRadio
(04:43):
YouTube and our Facebook so check that out. And on
Apple TV plus Real Madrid until the End starts today
and that is my Danielle report. You got more text
I don't know? Okay, you got you gotta call these
people back, Okay, keep texting Gandhi and Danielle at your favorites, Well, okay, Tara.
She's a helicopter mechanic in Pennsylvania, born and raised, a
(05:06):
Jersey girl, a veteran doing it wow. Also a warehouse
manager and whippity New Jersey, been working in steel boots
for ten years. Waking up to the show is giving
her day an extra great boost and that's it. I
love that. And we have a lot of interviews coming
up with women just like this who are doing incredible things.
One of them's happening right now. This one is one
of Danielle's absolute favorites. She has been counting down. Let's
(05:29):
get to it is all about the women, and I
have to talk about somebody who has inspired me. A
couple of years ago, I found this Instagram page called
Hope Rises, and I started crying watching all of these
stories because they were amazing, like you know, sending a
child to Disney World who was sick, or a kid
walking out of a hospital because he doesn't have cancer anymore,
(05:51):
and everybody applauding or like, just these amazing stories that
brought happiness and happy tears. This is right up your
alley exactly. You've loved for long and I wanted to
find out who is behind it all, and I found
out it's Kate Glasser, who It's just this remarkable human
being who it wasn't supposed to start out like this.
It started out as a blog, and we're actually lucky
(06:14):
enough to have Kate with us today. Thank you so much.
I really appreciate the support. You've always been a support
for us for the past couple of years, and I'm
still in shock that my small blog out of Buffalo,
New York is now a global movement. And I'm just
so appreciative of all the support because the bigger we get,
the more we can help people. So, like you said,
it started out as a blog, right, Yeah, yeah, So
(06:35):
I'm a past television journalist, so I love storytelling, and
I think the biggest thing is that, you know, not
every story is happy. You know, there are stories that
are a little bit sad, but there's always hope in them.
And that's what we focus on, is the really the
hard stories that there's somehow joy and hope and there's
a brighter side to it. We have stories that are
(06:57):
submitted from all different countries and it's just amazing to
see that we can just make a movement of kindness
and hope and love, and that's what this world needs.
So if somebody wants to submit a story to you,
how would they go about doing that if they have
a dark story with a little bit of hope. Yeah,
you just go right to our Instagram you press that
message button. You can also find me on all the
(07:17):
different platforms. We also have a website, Hope risesnews dot com,
and we take stories every single day. Not that we
can share every single story that comes in, but we
really try to share as many as we can. One
of my favorite stories that they covered was a flash
mob that I think you guys put together right so
at Christmas time with Christmas carollers, and it was a
(07:39):
young mom who was terminally ill. She had ovarian cancer.
Four hundred strangers showed up to sing to her and
it was a week before the woman passed away and
she got to watch the whole thing from the window. Right. Yes,
we do these projects called give hope campaigns, and that's
exactly what we did for this woman's We heard about
her struggle. She had ovarian cancer. She was a young mom,
(08:01):
only thirty two years old, had a little baby boy,
and her favorite holiday is Christmas who doesn't love Christmas right?
And she loves Christmas songs. And so what we did
was we got this hotel room for her, We had
a sleepover party, we arranged everything for her, and we said,
she needs a flash mob. And the really cool thing
was that she was on the second story of this
(08:22):
hotel and there wasn't like any screens or anything. So
she opened up the window and could stick her head out.
And that moment when she did that and she saw
four hundred strangers come together and sing for her for
an hour. You know, there are people that knew her,
but there were so many people who just were inspired
by her story. And that's why we tell stories. And
I think that's why Hope Rises has grown so much,
(08:44):
as we're not just telling the stories, we're also making
stories happen. There was a little girl, Pandora. She was
bullied because she had physical deformities in her arms, and
we had Carrie Underwood want to meet her. She saw
her story. Carrie Underwood had this special moment with her
and then she ended up like featuring Pandora in her
tour video because she was so impacted by Panda and
(09:08):
how she you know, just was this ball of energy
and light, and that has changed her perspective on life.
Even though she was for her mom and her both
now have a better view of handling what's ahead of them.
And that's the power of storytelling. That's the power of hope.
Rises you see, I'm getting all like Tia. I know
her glasses are fogging up. Oh my gosh, because I
(09:30):
feel like, especially nowadays, there's so much negativity out there,
and every time I watched one of your videos that
you post, I will go, oh my gosh, are you
giving me? Oh? This isn't oh no, And that's the
reaction we try to get. We really try to touch
people's hearts. And not every story is going to impact
you the way it impacts someone else. But it's just
spend such a fun ride. Never expected it. Like I said,
(09:53):
it was a small blog. My first post got like
twelve likes, and I was like, Okay, just keep going,
just keep doing it. Storytelling is my passion. And now
five years later, look where it's gone. We've raised over
four hundred thousand dollars and we're not going to stop here.
Was there a moment that you knew, oh something just
went viral? There was a little girl named Jocelyn. We
(10:14):
had told her story a couple of times, and we
after she passed, we really just made a video to
kind of just highlight all of her strong moments and
really to give her credit because her mom was hurting
and I had gone away to the Adirondacks. We were
out of service and I had three thousand followers on
Instagram and I came back into service and I had
(10:35):
four hundred thousand followers on Instagram because of that one video.
Because we never let their stories die, they're always you know,
we always magnify them. So we made it into a
nonprofit now where we're now giving one hundred percent of
everything that comes in goes right back out. It's about
the people that we can help through Hope Rises. How
can people donate money if they want to donate to you,
(10:57):
Hope Rises news dot Com is our donation, but they
can head over there. What we do is every single
month we have a different Give Hope campaign. This month
we are actually for Women's Month. We are working with
an organization that is providing apartments for women who are abused,
who are escaping domestic violence situations. So we are providing
(11:18):
an apartment to a single mom and her two kids,
and they'll be able to have that fully furnished. They're
going to walk in on March eighteenth and have toys
and a bedroom and couches and everything. They have no idea.
She's like version of mister Beasts And what's the what's
the site again to go and donate Hope Rises news
