Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I don't know when I was a kid, conversations going on,
and it's like, oh my god, you shouldn't do that.
You'll get scurvy. And there's someone else will say, scurvy
hasn't been around since the Stone ages.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Like a pirate disease, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Look it up?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It's a lash of vitamin C.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yes, scurvy is making a comeback. What you're saying that? Yes? No, okay,
no it's not. You can't say no, because I wouldn't
have said it if it was. No, scurvy's making a comeback.
You should say it is. Of course it is, because
I just said it is. I need music.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Why is it making a comeback?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Because people aren't eating healthy?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I think? Why don't you look it up? Oh you
have the story. I don't. Oh, I know it's scurvy's
making a comeback. You know me. I just read the headlines.
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
It says if you don't have vitamin C in your
diet for at least three months, you can get scurvy.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
But we all get vitamin C from different sources. But
in the news today. I'm looking there's a full story here,
but it didn't come up all in those the headline
I want you to fill into Blake.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It says it could be re emerging amid the cost
of living crisis and the rise in weight loss surgery
because you're losing nutrients apparently when you have these surgeries
and people staying inside way longer than you used to stay.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Inside, so you're not getting your sunshining your sunshine.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Do you see the symptoms of scurvy?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I mean, I think I think Nate may have scurvy.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
What what symptoms are you seeing?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
So soft, swollen and livid, gums that bleed easily, Oh okay,
gums that separate from the teeth causing them to loosen,
swollen legs that are glossy and develop foul ulcers, bleeding
from the nose and mouth, and body evacuations that are
intolerably feted.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
What is feted?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Me?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
F E T I D like stinky, doesn't good? And
I have all of those? Wow, I have I have fed?
It is it feeded? Fed? I've fed?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Here's Nate, you have scurvy. I don't have scurvy, but
I've read a lot about scurvy, but scurvy's making a comeback. Really, why,
oh my god, where have you been? I don't pay attention.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
My favorite thing is I said, oh my god, look
at this. Scurvy's making a comeback, and scary goes no.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Because I think about it like I think about rickets
and scarlet fever and bubonic play.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Do you want to know why sailors got scurvy?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I know there's a cow's it was a fight, but.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
They're saying that on the ship. Because they would be
away for a long time. They didn't want to have
these foods that would go bad, so they would have
biscuits and stuff like that, and there was no vitamin
C in.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Any fresh food. They didn't have any flensedtoes chewa bowls
at sea.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
This is hand me a bernie. Their teeth would fall out.
It's frighteningvy. You know what, Gandhi just gave us all
these things.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
But now we're convinced you may have it, but also no, Actually,
Danielle toes, what else is on the list of things
that that the Nate's doing.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Bleeding from the nose and mouth, What body evacuations that
are intolerably fetid fetti.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I don't know. I've never had a.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Separate from the teeth causing them to lose I like,
this is.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
A zombie apocalypse. But wait, is fetid stools. Doesn't she
work down at BC? She does? She works down the
hallway fted stools. So if scurvy's making a comeback, what
does it say about our I mean people have a
massive deficiency in vitament. Well you missed it, Gandhi gave
us the answer. Do you want to hear it again? Yeah,
(03:43):
this is why, this is why you have scurvy.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Okay, apparently it is because people are staying inside much more.
You're not getting your sunshine. There's been a rise in
bariatric surgery and weight loss surgery, which makes nutrients move
through you a lot quicker. And people just start eating
the way that they're supposed to be eating because apparently
there's an economic crisis.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, people cannot afford the nutritious food. They can't put
it on the table for their kids. Because we live
in this world, when's the plague coming back? Is that
coming back?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
We lived through it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's different. We're talking about bbonic, the ubonic plague, but
someone just send a text in saying that my son
got scarlet fever last year. It's still a thing. Yeah,
and if your son, if your kid gets it, that's
gonna be that's gonna be really frightening stuff. So how
are we doing with polio? Are we doing okay with polon?
That's actually making it come back?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
It is, and a lot of it. People don't want
to hear it. But it has to do with a
lot of people deciding they don't want to get vaccines anymore.
And the vaccines existed for a reason and kept things away,
and now people don't want to do it. These things
are coming back.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Talk to me about leprosy. How are we doing there?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Do they still have that Leper Island in Hawaii? Wasn't
there that one island that all the lepers would go to?
Is it Malikini or something? Wasn't it?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Look it up? Look it up? Is it current? Or
is this from like the seven?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I think there is still leprosy in parts of the world,
but I don't know if the Leper islands still exists.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
They have Raccoon Islands in Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's a.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Leper colony, and there's apparently one on crete in Greece.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I was just there.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I should have stopped by. I'm gonna go there and
give him a hand. It's not funny. People died, all right?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Moving on? You know what I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
It says that digestive or metabolic conditions is something that
attributes to.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I can't hear you, the guy the scurvys not obviously
aspecting his herey.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Saying metabolic conditions is one of the risk factors. And
if everyone's getting all these surgeries, are doing these crazy
fad diets, that's adding to all those conditions.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Look at me, digestive problems. I did it, I did
the I did the What did I do the gastric sleeve? Yeah,
to lose weight, therefore deficient in nutrients. And of course
now I'm taking, you know, those shots to make you
stop eating so I can look like terror banksys. I
may I may be with you, and I may be
(06:11):
to a scurvy colony.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
There is also one in Hawaiian eight.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You're right, I told you where's that one question? And
I'm just looking this stuff up people.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Where is it the village?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I don't know. Do you keep a leper from robin
a bank? I don't think you want to do this.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I want to know how though.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I don't think you want to do this. You disarm him.
I told you not to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I don't know how many lepers are listening to our show,
but I don't know if we had any. We just
lost them all. Do we really want to do that
in this day and age of bad business? I got
another one?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
No, I don't want to hear it. The hooker, keep
the tip, all right, Let's move on home.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I'm and this is not funny. Why what are you?
What are you laughing at it? Don't laugh at his jokes, Diamond,
I'm sorry. You guys are really funny today.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Oh my god, you.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Want to hear another one?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Want more? Please? Don't?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Oh god, you hear about the leper who failed his
driving test? What he left his foot on the clutch?
That is awful.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
These are the views of Nate Marino.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Is there like a leper? Jokes? Dot Com? Was you
doing this?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Oh yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, okay,
we got it.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
