dollars just to put sheets on the bed bets insane.

the manufacturers that old fashioned spirit. They understand that sheets

would you talk about on your on your podcast Firm
Elvis Presents show. I was sitting around getting ready for
(01:28):
our fifteen minute morning show podcast, and We're throwing around
some ideas and I've yet to hear one that sounds good.
A lot of them hit the floor. Yeah, a lot
of them just fell down, went down the drain. Great
teas was very relatable. I don't know what you're saying.
I didn't find anything relatable about your topic at all.
I thought it was a great topic. Have you ever
wondered that I've wondered what well? I wanted to know
(01:49):
why are Rolex watches so expensive? I have a watch
that's like Kenneth Cole and it tells time. A Rolex
tells time. I don't get, okay question, and why are
are Portia is more expensive than kiyas well? That's good question.
Hold on a second, I've had both do the same thing.
I had this debate cars. You can see a noticeable
(02:10):
difference in luxury performance in handling this. There's a they
do the job differently a watch, because I've I've had
this debate. My whole life. Does one job. It tells
the time, and a five thousand dollar watch and a
five dollar watch will tell the same exact time, same thing.
It doesn't do the job better. You can't tell time better.
It's a little different. You have to you have to
(02:32):
explain that that way to a watch or jewelry. Uh, freak,
because they'll they'll disagree with you because they're into the
quality of the making and the time it's been making
each watch. It's still eleven o'clock. Well, I have to
agree with you. This is why I don't own any
expensive jewelry. I'm just not I'm not into it, right,
But you know I get it. But I think Nate disagrees. Well, no,
(02:53):
I actually know the reason why Rolex watches are so expensive.
Why so, they're very well established brand. They've been around
their Swiss if I'm not mistaken an okay, great fair.
Rolex was one of the first watches if I'm not
mistaken to be waterproof. It was also very finally tuned,
so it was time. It's time never went off right,
(03:15):
and so Rolex was one of those first watches in
the I don't know how long they've been around, but
then they started to capitalize on the Rolex name. And
then if you go back and see how much a
Rolex cost, even with inflation, they've actually increased the price
exponentially because they know people associate Rolex with being a
fine brand. So to this day you can actually buy
(03:35):
the least expensive Rolexes and there are nowhere near the
quality of the Rolexes that they're famous for for you know,
tons of years ago. Explains why they're expensive. It doesn't
explain why I should buy one. I guess it's a
status symbol, it's like. And on that note, by the way,
um going moving into the sunglasses world. UM, I actually
saw a piece on sixty Minutes where there's this company
(03:59):
in Italy. Look at they make all the sunglass they
make every single brand, and they are literally one picnic
table away from each other in the same room where
the people from RayBan is sing here next and the
next tables call it the cafeteria style tables. Why are
they eating picnics while they're making tables with benches. I'm
(04:20):
trying to get the tables with the benches that you
would have a picnic on. That is what separates the
people working on one brand versus the next, versus the next,
and pretty much of the brands that we all know
and love, and some of them could be pradak ch
whatever is sitting there in the same factor what this is.
It's not about what it's worth. It's about what you'll
(04:42):
pay for correct ray band, for instance, So ray band
was actually going to go out of business in the eighties.
They were in very dire financial stream. Who do you think,
Tom Cruise? Tom Cruise, they had him wear ray bands
in your favorite movie, Top Gun, and then boom that
was that was Top Gun, wasn't Hello Oh? Then when
(05:06):
he slid across the room, we're in the sunglasses. That
that's what I'm saying. That saved the ray banks. Sales
of Tidy Whitey's went through the roof. Is So, so
you go to a high end store, let's say like
a sax fith Avenue versus a Coal's all right, you're
still gonna find clothing at the Coals. It's gonna last
as longer, sometimes longer than this stuff you spent eight
hundred dollars for at the Saxfith Avenue. You're so correct.
(05:28):
I know I have shirts that I bought at Coals
maybe six seven years ago, that I'm still wearing today.
I can't get over it. It's what you'll pay, it's
not what it's worth it. So does that nswer your question?
I guess. I mean, but you know there are arguments
out there for some watches from roles that are in
that world premium, handmade, fantastic time pieces, because I know
(05:52):
if it's made out of like fourteen caragals for for us,
that's not important when I can't afford something like that.
I mean, that's not my ideal. Your Mercedes. I don't
have the Mercedes. If I want to know what time
it is, I'll look at my own I'll look at
my phone, yes, right, I look at my grandfather clock. Well,
I'm just saying, you know, I was just I was
just curious. We edit that. Can we take that out
(06:13):
the line about the grandfather clock? Do you have a
grandfather clock anyway anymore? Really? Only the mystery shows on
on PBS have grandfather. Growing up, I've always wanted a
cuckoo clock. I had a cuckoo clock from my brother
when he was serving in the army. He he was
traveling around European brought me a cucko clock from Switzerland.
(06:33):
What's the most obnoxious fucking thing I've ever had in
my life? Every hour? Is it a rolex? Not a rolex? Okay,
let's talk about chocolate while we're talking about Switzerland. Yeah,
they're a fine imported chocolate out there. Oh, you're just
as happy eating something good old American chocolate. I do
(06:54):
like the Diver though, a chocolate. Here's something you need
to know about Cadiver correct if I'm wrong, long, but
originally owned by Godiva and then I think the Campbell
Soup company bought them. No, and then yeah, no, no,
it's it's it's it's not made by the original Goodiva people.
In your more chocolate, it's very good, it's very tasty. Really,
(07:15):
so once again, you're you're not paying for, you know,
an important chocolate. I don't think you're paying for chocolate
that you just seven and like it has the name
Goodiva on it. Toblon used to be expensive. You used
to have to go to Europe and get tob laron. Right.
And then a couple of years later, after I went
to Switzerland, it was here, it was all over the place.
I thought, oh my god, it was a big deal there.
I thought tolb larone in Iceland. I couldn't believe. He thought,
(07:35):
oh my god, he was calling live from a hotel
room in Iceland. You see, they have this Icelandic candy
called toblon. I don't know. Yeah, I called it TOBLARONI yeah, Okay,
what'd you find out? Well, no, I haven't. I'll get
to that. You gotta go. Where's Scarrett? There you are?
Nineteen sixty six, the Campbell Soup company came in and
bought Godiva. Well not even in your lifetime, t have
(07:58):
you had regular Goodiva? I didn't even knowineteen seventy two
is the first Kativa boutique in North America opened in
New York City on Fifth So does Campbell Soup still own?
Let me keep on. You know what, I love Campbell
Soup and tastes so good. So that's why I like
the chocolate, because it's because a little bit of the
soup is in the choco They used the same It's
just it's the name of a company that owns corporations.
(08:18):
They own the soup company and they own the chocolate company.
The ton they're not being manufactured in the same room.
They probably, but you think listen, they're gonna cut down overhead. No,
it's like they owned stations in Dallas. They own stations
in New York. It's a little different. Your sunglasses are
being made in the same room. Can I be the
guy that brings up Can we talk about something? Please do.
But when I say, you're gonna go no, I don't
talk about it? Is that okay? Can we have the
(08:39):
piano conversation please? Yeah? Sure, go ahead. Now you have
to tell the story you heard it's so go go
get the piano. Go get the piano. It's it's in
the next room. It's a little toy piano, right Elvis
Duran and we have some of our artists come through
and sign it. It's like a little toy piano. All right.
When you hear it, you'll go, oh, it's one of
those pianos. Here. Hit the key so they can hear
what it sounds like. Go ahead, hit the keys. Yeah,
(09:00):
here we go, Yes, hit the keys, play a song,
so I can't really play, But do you want me
to tell? Tell everybody what I told you? You tell everyone,
and I'm hoping you say it the same way because
it's funny. Hold on, Danielle, this is so amazing. We're
switching gears to the piano contra. Here we go. This
is so amazing, I told daniel Okay, so do you
ever find out? Look like, I'm looking at a piano
(09:21):
right now, right, and it's got limited amount of keys.
But here's the funny thing though, it's like a sequence
because you have to play the right key's in order
for it to sound good. For instance, I could just
go that's how songs are born because you hit the
right keys and right, yeah, like this, Like I can
go like this, and that doesn't sound right because those
(09:43):
two notes they don't go they don't go together, but
you can if you hit the right sequence at the
same time, they sound so beautiful like so like I
don't know, like, but you have to find the right
This is what I walked in. Yes, so he he
This is like a new invention and of his they're
called chords. So it's like you're opening up practice, but
(10:04):
it's like it's like you're cracking the code of the
piano an order for it to sound correct, you've got
to hit the You have to have your right fingers
on the right keys at the right time in order
to open it up. That's what piano players have for years,
like the days of Mozart and Schubert. Amazing. If it
didn't have to be that way, If it didn't have
(10:26):
to be that way, then anybody could play piano. Say
are you saying yes, I don't want me ball here
that if a person would hit the keys in a
order and a certain tempo, that a song could come
out of that correct. You have to be able to
do that. So how do you think a guitar works?
What guitar? We have to learn how to play that.
I mean, it's the same thing as a piano. No,
(10:46):
but it's different. You know what. There is an argument
for what kind of instrument of piano is? Is it
a Is it uh? Percussion? Is it percussion or string?
I wouldn't because you have hand mers that beat the strings,
but you have strings. So I thought it was a
wood wind. To be honest, I thought it would win.
(11:07):
But so this is where I came up with this. Daniel,
you have to listen to very on Friday. On Friday,
we had um, oh, your friend that came in the
guest Uh yeah, Darren Chris. Right. So so he came
in right, and he brought the piano and was in
like seriously three seconds. He sat down and he just went, oh,
look and look at this great piano. And he went
(11:29):
and all of a sudden, it sounded like like doves
were flying in the air. It's sound beautiful. But he
knew those cords. He googled the code in order less
smart for this experiences. Don't you think it's fascinating that
all you have to do is know the right things
to play an outcomes? There's beautiful sound, fascinating. It's fascinating.
(11:51):
Now that work was blowing into a brass instrument. I
don't work for the flute. I don't know. See look
that goes together. This is a chord. This is an
(12:11):
F chord, and this is a chord. Here's an a chord,
and here's a chord. Right. It sounds nice, right, see
how he did that? But give it to me? And
I could not do that because you have to learn so,
but did you tell me the chords to play? Give
me this? You alright? I get this? How nice is that? Right?
(12:37):
So everybody sits by the way, I don't know anything. Okay,
so everybody and you stare at those keys, but I
have no idea what the what the sequence is? To
make it sound like that? You have to but how
did And then you learn how to read music, and
then the notes on the music lines tell you which
button to hit. I know, but when I see that,
(12:58):
you see you see like like invisible notes, invisible notes, right,
I see F and G And how could you find that?
On there? They're all blank? It always starts with the scene.
What could you find the ex because it's so far
is always um is always the white key to the
(13:19):
left of the two black to the left and the
two black right here. How could you find it? Right?
Because it's right these two seas the black keys are
in series of twos and threes. So this is a
c here, and this is a c here to look
it is it's the same note. Listen, listen, play them together.
(13:40):
It's the same note, but it's an octave higher. They
slide into each other that they're together. I see, I
never knew that you're kidding. So I know you have
to do go ce D E C A B C
d F g G F E d C. So tell
me give me a B there I'm hearing. Be flat,
(14:01):
Just be flat. So you can look at any piano
and you can find those cords the same. There's the
same one. I beg for great tea, for great key
to go into a class with all five year olds
that are learning piano for the first time and learn piano.
You couldn't learn piano. But as you know, I'm a
little surprised at this conversation because you are a musician
from way back. I remember the song, the song you
(14:24):
did called Time passes by. Yes, you know were get
the band back together? We are? You know what you
can learn how to play keyboards for your bit that
was played the keyboards, well, you can have more than
one keyboard keyboard. And he was a real good he
(14:45):
was he'd played the cars. But you were up front
because you were the lead vocalist. Listen to great Here
is to sleep, Morning starts time. Five trees don't up
here in the yard to the light. I'm trying to
(15:06):
figure it's time. They're saying aside, Time past by, every
over passes by sad. Everyone says the right hope the
same time. You can play. People stop, listen, house good way.
(15:30):
We support your fer We learned this song on regular speed.
This is regular We can see gives. People showed up
to see you sing that. We played at Erica Selgman's
bro party and it was awesome. We played, We had it.
We had a stand upply the fireplace. It wasn't a
(15:51):
lot of route in hopes they would catch five. It
was a split level house. Some kids are sitting on
the stair. We learned a lot about music theory today
and great tea. The world is waiting for you on
the keyboard. I can't wait. I gotta learn right. Do
you want to go learn the keyboard? Do it? I
think we all think you should. The fifteen Minute Morning
