Speaker 2 (00:11):
I want to get to the bottom of this. Hello, Amanda,
how are you feeling on this festive Friday?
Speaker 4 (00:16):

May I? May I read the text out loud? Is
it cool? Please do? Elvis.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Let me preface this by saying this is only because
I enjoy listening to you daily. And by the way,
and aside, thank you, Amanda. This is an out of
love crap sandwich. I think you're hilarious, but there's a
Duras cell battery commercial running and every time you say
the words I forgot batteries, it makes my teeth hurt,
(00:56):
like I'm biting down on aluminum foil.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Luckily we have to skip thirty seconds button so I
can skip back to listening to the good stuff. Okay,
I just will let you know this may be a
little out there. Just wanted to get it off my chest.
It may be a me problem, all right, Can you
tell us exactly what it is about I forgot batteries
that makes your teeth hurt when I say it?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Absolutely? Okay, So I'm gonna say. You know, when Nate
does the horoscopes and he does it in that that
weird tone, and you're just like, oh, yes, well that's
that's kind of the way that you say I forgot batteries,
and it's just, oh my goodness. I don't know if
they told you to say that, orsow.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's so it's not the words I forgot batteries, it's
how I say them.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It just makes you want to just like lash out.
I don't know, it hurts. It hurts your teeth.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I wonder if your ears are more sensitive than others
to certain pitches or something.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well I tell you. Let's play it. We found it
and it's in the beginning of this commercial. By the way,
we love Dura Cel. There is no other battery in
my house right, Uh, just for the for the record,
but you know, maybe I did them a disservice. Let's listen,
and we're listening for the words I forgot batteries. Here

Speaker 3 (03:12):
But okay, here we go. Okay, let me hear how
I say it.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
I have to think about that.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
No, No, you know what you know.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I always learned a long time ago you should never
complain about something unless you haven't a fix, because that's
what they tell us here at iHeart. I never bittioned
moan about something unless you have an answer to fix it.
So I'm trying to yet, what's that name?

a gift and you realize you forgot the batteries. Okay,
