Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning show.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Were just playing the game about people who were canceled
at one point or another. Did you see all the
text messages hundreds of people saying, but you forgot about
this person? You forgot about that well, and we didn't
forget about him. But you know, we only have so
many moments in the day because that long list of
other people that have been canceled that came in. It

(00:27):
just shows you about this cancelation thing. It's big, it's
it's it's bigger than it should have been. I never
really I never really appreciated it or liked it unless
it was feels like it's slacked off a little bit though.
Wuldn't you say? Yeah, absolutely? But then did he you know,
comes around and.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Exact cancel had thrown to an island and set to sleep.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Okay, okay, let me throw some names at you. How
about Ellen DeGeneres.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, I was never on board with that one.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
To be honest, I thought, I don't canceled. No, she
did get canceled. We're we're saying we're not on board
with the fact she was canceled. I didn't really see
proof that we should cancel Ellen to Joe.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Also, I think you can't, like, do you just cancel
someone just because like someone said they were mean, Like
my boss is me.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
That's what it was. That's what it was. I mean,
there was people that worked on the staff that said
it was a very toxic environment and that she knew
about it, she didn't do anything about it. But okay,
so we canceled her, all right? Who else is on
this list? Okay? Will Smith? Okay? So Will Smith walks
up in front of the industry at an award show,
award show, Yes, walks up to the host and smacks

(01:33):
him in the face. Yeah, okay, canceled.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, I agree with that one.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Do you agree with that one?

Speaker 5 (01:41):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Really? Gandi? So Gandhi not so much.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
I've kind of wanted to be smacking Chris Rock for
a very long time for a lot of reasons. I
do understand violence is never the answer. I get that,
just saying I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I loved Will.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Smith, Okay, I know, but it's also it was a
televised show, it was live, and it was embarrassing him,
very stupid. What's stupid? And maybe he should have, you know,
had a a timeout maybe right.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
I mean he got banned from the oscars, right, he's
never allowed to go back ten years.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I kind of feel like he wasn't a timeout and
then he tried to come out of the timeout and
they put him back in the timeout.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Maybe, oh, maybe the material he came out with, which
was yeah, that's my point. Look, you know, because we
received a song and we we played it once. Had
that been a great banging song, I think it would have.
It would have we would have latched onto it and
we would have been willing to move on. I don't
think it's because he was canceling didn't do well, do
you know?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I don't think that was it.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Okay, let's see Mel Gibson.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Oh goodbye. Don't like that guy.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
He was great and Daddy's home too.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
He was great and several things. He was kind of nasty.
He said some nasty things. Uh. Kathy Griffin, what did
she do?

Speaker 5 (02:53):
You know?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
What is she canceled for?

Speaker 2 (02:54):
She she came out against. Uh. I think she says
she wanted President Trump killed or something like that. And
she didn't she froggy You remember that, don't you? She
did something like the beheaded thing or something she did yeah, yeah,
she'd beheaded him or something. She's walking around with his head.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
We shouldn't say that about anybody, but I had.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Okay, let's say she was extremely funny and very relatable.
Would would people say, oh, let's go see Kathy Griffin tonight?
I don't know. Yeah, let's see who else is on
this list? The list goes on and on. I love
this one. Oh my god, you don't even know who
this is.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
I do.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Fatty Arbuckle was canceled. The fat Fatty Arbuckle. Well, he
was a huge and I do I do mean massive
as far as girth goes. A huge movie start way
way back in the day. I think there were silent films.
Yeah yeah, and uh, well he was also known as
a womanizing slob. And uh he was in a hotel

(03:53):
room in San Francisco and got drunk and he he
killed someone.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Oh damn, Well, I know that's a big deal.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
Prove like, I think there was some ambiguity as to
whether or not he did it right.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
His name was Roscoe Roscoe or Buckle or Buckle. But
he was canceled. See so canceling is not a new thing.
It's been around for long time. Was Louis c k canceled.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
We got canceled and uncanceled.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah. Yeah, he hasn't really recovered since he whipped out
his dinger and started playing with it.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
It like violated a plant right in the corner.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, he violated a plant. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
I think what's really tough about all of this is
every single one of us probably has some moments in
our life lives where we've done something that's not great,
and were it on display for other people to see,
we too would get canceled.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
If you have to hold every single person to their
worst moment and negate all the other good things that
they've done or contributed to society, it's a tough dance
to dance.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Okay, I agree, and we all we all have different
opinions about different people, and that's just the way it's
going to because there's a lot of us, a lot
of them. Hugh Grant was canceled there for a minute.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh yeah, right, forgot about him?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Was that the prostitute thing or him being mean to someone?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
He's had a couple of moments.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, yeah, he's had a couple of moments. Robert Downey
Junior was canceled for a moment, but look at him now, Yeah, bigger, better.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Than every He almost canceled himself and killed, you know,
and died to forget about it. That guy's lucky to
be alive.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Right, Matt Lower he was he was.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Fired, canceled and cancel hell canceled.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
But there's been talk around the New York City media
circles that that he's trying to storm back in and
he's trying to get he's trying to get some traction
and get back on the air. Do you think it
would work. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
I think I think all all that's are off anymore.
I don't think it matters. People just forget and move on.
And you know, there's agregious stuff happening everywhere that I
think it's hard to hold that outrage continuously at everybody.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I don't know, look at the politicians. Canceled. But then
he gives you a reason to recancel him every day,
so you.

Speaker 6 (06:04):
Hes like from last week, He'll give me something new tomorrow.
He renews his cancelation subscription every day. So the politics
here in the New York area. Anthony wien Or Elliott's, Pitzer,
Andrew Cuomo, all canceled at some point or another. Anthony
Wiener is trying to get back, and Andrew Cromo is
trying to become the mayor of New York City.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Donald Trump like the ultimate right.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
He got convicted and he's back and people, there's.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Proof absolutely doing pretty well. Like Brett Farf. Didn't he
show his Wiener to somebody? But he canceled. You were
saying that solo. What was that, Gandi? I didn't hear that.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, I sent it in a photo, So everybody.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
I did hear that. Just want you to be more
loud and proud about it. What up, Nate?

Speaker 5 (06:46):
I think the only thing society likes more than tearing
somebody down and canceling them is the comeback, right, because
you look at a lot of these people and time
goes on and what do they do.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
They come back and they're bigger, bad.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Look at Morgan Wallen. We canceled him and then he
had the biggest song of all time.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, so a Disney movie from hell. They'll just keep resurfacing.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
It.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Come back home.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
They did.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Because some of them did certain things. They should be
coming back.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
There should be no forgiving certain things.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Okay, by the way, you really.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Need to uh read the uh Fatty Arbuckle story.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
In fact, I didn't really talk.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
About I'm just looking at it right.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Now, and I didn't say exactly how it was. It
was alleged that he killed that woman. It's not very gruesome.
It was actually he raped her. Well no, but this, okay,
this wasn't like a bottle involved with the.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Police concluded that the impact of his overweight body on
top of her caused her bladder to rupture. That's what
they were saying. But then at a press conference, the
manager accused him of using a piece of ice to
simulate sex with her and that led to injuries. But
then by the time the story was reported in newspapers,
the object evolved into a Coca Cola or champagne bottle

(08:03):
rather than a piece of ice, they said. In fact,
witnesses testified that he rubbed the blah blah blah. Anyway,
he denied wrongdoing, and then he actually wound up serving
three weeks in jail and that got released on bail
of five thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
So you know, if we need someone to do the
fight our Fatty Arbuckle story, right movie, somebody I will
eat a lot. I will eat a lot of food
and I will beef. I want that role. No, you're
saying they're supposed to do that. I thought they were
supposed to.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Somebody famously was I don't want to say it was
Chris Farley, but somebody liked that was supposed to do
the Fatty Arbuckle story because you dig into it and
it's wow, It's it's movie of the week.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Wowright.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
You know there were so many incredible stories in history. Uh,
that should be movies. They should be movies. There should
be films, and they're not Ruby Rosa that is, that
is the story that really needs to have a superstar
in that role.

Speaker 6 (09:01):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
He was god. He was a He was a big
time woman lover. He raced cars and horses. He's a
polo player and he was he always dated wealthy, wealthy
women and uh, you know they would pay his way.
I mean and uh, but he was rumored to have
a massive, massive ding dong. He was known for it.

(09:29):
As a matter of fact. You know when you get
those big pepper grinders in the restaurants, they call them
ruber ross.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
They do.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
There's the worst things to be known for. Yes, there
are uh, look him up. I mean, he's got a
great story. I think he's from the Dominican Republic if
I'm not mistaken. And there he was also said to
be a foreign spy as well war but he was
quite the cocksman, as they call them. Pepper your parents

(09:59):
exactly the thing is.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
But I mean did have a gardener, Jane Mansfield Duke called.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
One of the richest women in the world. Damn, I
know he has a story. He was a total playboy,
a polo playing, car racing playboy, you know what I'm saying.
That that kind of guy. And then I think he
wrapped his car and a tree or something and that
was the end of him. But there's a story there.
They never did a movie about him. I think they
they they should do this.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
He admitted it too. They said when he got drunk,
he would take out his guitar and he would sing
I'm like I'm a jigglow, or like I'm a man's man,
or I'm like, you know, I'm a playboy type songs.
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Are we learning a lot about people today? I don't
think River Rosa was ever canceled. He just rapped his
car and a tree. He died, So there's that.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Wait, he says, they said the women were on fire.
They would pull him into the ladies room. He was
a victim, not a jigglow. The woman just the women
just couldn't help themselves on this.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, they love them. But what a great story anyway,
So you learned it from us if you didn't know
about mister Ruby Rossock. Oh there's more. Daniel really, at
some point we got to move.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
They said he would pull it out under a table
or on top of a table.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
I was today years old, just.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Like a he could balance a table with it.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Okay, they're taking it up.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
This is a Vanity Fair article, Guys, Vanity Fair.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
They're saying it was massive. It was like it was.
It was insane.
