What would you talk about on your on your podcast

(00:23):

to fall. Do we all agree we have that? Yeah,
but I think we have enough energy for a fifteen
minute morning show podcast. Around the Table of Love. There's
web girl Kathleen, who, by the way, is doing such
a fantastic job with our socials. I love it. Thank you,
Dave Brody who keeps us laughing and defining. And of
(00:46):
course there's Garrett, Yes brings us incredible sound and thought
in perspective. Can I borrow dollars to buy the new iPhone?
We'll get into that. I can't believe people are selling that.
Someone pays it. Uh, they're scary. Who would pay twenty
five dollars for a cell phone? That would be me.
And there's Daniel my girl, I love you, my daniell uh,
And I'm Elvis durand the host of the Most So
(01:08):
the first thing we got to talk about and this
is a great, great story if you have one. Someone said, hey,
on your fifteen minute morning show podcast. When is that
one time that your phone shut the bed when you
needed needed it the most? Should we play top each other?
Was a game? And I love that that contest I
(01:28):
want to start, all right, go ahead. I was, I
was getting on a plane, and of course I used
mobile tickets on my I on my iPhone, and as
I'm entering the plane there I was about to scan
and my phone shut off, its shipped the bed, and
then I was an idiot because I had now had
to stand onto the side as watched everybody passed me by,
(01:51):
waiting to power up, charged against the wall, first world
problems exactly. And then I finally got on the plane
when my phone came on for about ten seconds. But
at that moment, you're like really upset. You can't get
on the plane. You can't you can't fly away? Okay,
then space was Does anyone to have one that's a
little more legitimate because his is kind of boring. I
gonna be honest, it's just like you're gonna get on
(02:11):
that plane? Yeah yeah, but the bed as I'm scanning
my ticket with my phone, does anyone feel sorry for scary? See?
Mine was when I was having a like a little
disagreement with somebody. And the last thing they had said
to me was are you upset? And I couldn't text
them back to say no, so they thought for a while.
I had was mad at that. That's an awful time.
(02:32):
But that's not my fault. The phone, ship, the bed.
I couldn't help it. But you went back and you
fixed it. I fixed it eventually. That was lame, alright,
shift If yours is lame, you douche all right? Anyone else? Ye?
So um. You know when you fly on a holiday,
you the airports are so packed. I flew home from
San Francisco once on Thanksgiving, and the whole time you're
(02:54):
in the airport, I was driving my husband crazy, going
pretending that I was seeing famous people. Oh there's Dennis Quaid. Look,
there's George cluten O. Look look. Finally he wasn't with me.
He was getting food, and I see from who's the
boss Judith like guys Judith like. So I went to
go take a selfie with her, because you wasn't going
to believe me that I saw juth like. I finally
(03:16):
saw somebody famous and my phone died as I was
holding the phone up. But once again, these are all lame.
Wait till you hear mine, no offense, go for it.
But you know what, you wanted to take a picture
with someone that you grew up watching on TV. This
was your one moment to actually prove to your guy
that you actually are seeing celebrities, and this one you
can't be anyone else. I don't want to go because
(03:37):
you just said waiting your mom, it's going to ruin
everybody else. I was sitting in my car, so I
went to an event. I took a lot of pictures.
It was an old phone. It wasn't the one I
have now is like six phones ago. And I had
to pick up my wife who was going to wait
on a street in the middle of Manhattan. And I
had to tell her when I was leaving, and she
(03:57):
was gonna be outside, and I realized I was run late.
I had to get in touch with her, but my
phone was full. I had somehow taken every bit of
memory up. It wouldn't text, it wouldn't call. I rebooted it.
It can't. It wouldn't text, it wouldn't had no way.
I was sitting in my car. I'm in a parking lot.
No one's around. I can't borrow anyone else's phone, my
phone ship. I was an hour late, and she was
piste and she didn't believe that a miserable, miserable experience.
(04:20):
Are you sure you have a better one? I know. Look,
don't you hate that guy who says no better than yours?
But wait, wait, but wait, okay, you picked this topic
because you had a story. No, no, just was called it.
At my house, I have an alarm system that goes
off if the wind blows. Okay, And so my police
department finally called and said, Mr Durant, if we have
(04:41):
one more false alarm, we will issue a warrant for
your arrest. They said, either that or you're gonna disconnect
your one. But I can't just disconnect my alarm. I
don't want people breaking in stealing my crap without the
police being notified. So I'm in Africa on Safari. I'm
and so in order to use your phone, you have
to go out to this tent. It's in the middle
(05:01):
of this of the camp because that's where the phone
or the cell tower is. So I to leave the
nighttime safety of my tent, which the tent actually keeps
the wild animals out and go out there because to
get a drink. And as I was out to the
phone ring it's my friend Dennis. The alarms going off
at your house. I'm here at your house. We can't
turn it off. And I'm like, Dennis, the code is
(05:25):
no no, And hear him pushing in the cod D
and steal in the background foot He's like, I said, Dennis,
you've got to turn it off or they will issue
and arrest for me. And as I'm talking to him
and I can't get back to my tent, I had
to stay on the phone with him and help him
turn it off, I hear growling lions out in the field.
This is the field in front of me. The field
(05:45):
behind me. We hear hyenas, and hyenas will eat the
ship out of you. So I've got growling lions, I've
got hyenas, and I'm about to be arrested from my
alarm and there's nothing I can do about it. Nothing, nothing, thing.
And then my phone died. It's shipped the bed. That's
a great story, but Har's had Judith lighten it. It
(06:08):
was close. Are they going to arrest in Africa? They
gotta wait till you come home. Would you stay in Africa?
Do you have an arrest warrant? You knowing coming back
to the US you would be arrested. Would you stay
in Africa? No? No, I would come home and take
care of it. And I was kidding, It wasn't that
much better. It was just kind of a funny way
of telling a story. I mean, if Hyena's attacked you,
Hyena's will eat you. If you were a fugitive, what
(06:30):
country would you go to if you weren't going to
come home? Italy? Yeah, the Post, of course he's going there.
Where would you go if you had to leave the country?
And I never ever England? Great, that's a beautiful place
to be. But what about us always want to go
to Greece? You should probably go someplace you've been. So
(06:51):
then at least the only place in London I would go,
I would go to Europe the UK. Well, Europe is
a big bunch of countries, you're yeah, I loved it. Yeah,
London is a city. And then then I would go
to Paris. That's a city, the country of Paris. Like,
you wouldn't stick out there, Like he's going to Epcot,
He's going to Puerto Rico because he doesn't know that around.
(07:12):
I'm going to Canada, Canada Land at Epcot, all right now.
I look, no, I didn't think my story was that
much better. I thought it was a funny. It was
a funny. The build up is a fun way to
tell a story. Hey, so this morning we were talking
about Stranger Things and if you watched it, did you
finish it? Attitude? I'm not giving any spoilers away, but
(07:33):
there is something to be said for anything you say
about a show can be perceived as being a spoiler.
If you could say, oh my god, the ending was
it made me so sad. That's actually a little bit
of a spoiler because you're letting everyone know who hasn't
seen it. There's a little sad ending. You know. That
happened to me about five years ago when the movie
came out, the first Planet the Apes movie, and there
(07:53):
was a review in the New York Paper and it said,
the movie's really slow paced, but it has an incredible
surprise ending. Well, then you sit there the whole movie
going whatever I think is gonna happen, the opposite is
gonna ruins it to spoil. So I emailed the woman
goes I didn't say anything. Well, I said it was
a surprise ending. Yeah, yeah, so I guess it's safe
to say. Anything you say about the show can be
(08:14):
perceived as a don't talk about the show at all,
don't even mention its title. The Stranger Things was so fantastic?
What could you say about it? Right there? That's the
problem I had when they tell us to live tweet.
They're like, could you live tweet while you're watching? And
I'm like, that's fine, But all I can say is,
oh my gosh, that was crazy. Did you see that?
(08:35):
You can't say anything. It's almost funnier when you say
a character's name, no other text and then you add
a gift. Yeah, that's all you can do. So look,
I don't want anything spoiled either, you know. And if
you're actively watching a show like I was for about
a week watching you know, episodes, as I could could
catch them Stranger Things, if anyone said anything, it would
(08:57):
go stop. I think the one thing you could say
about Stranger Things is that if you're watching it, you
won't be disappointed. It's stranger and it's about things, but
it's so good that you start to think, like this
could be real like I felt as if, like, what
if this does exist? It does? Have you seen the
(09:18):
whole thing? I'm on episode two of season two. I
watched the whole first season last week. Okay, can we
talk about episodes of a series of season? They call
it a season even though it all comes out at once.
Isn't there always one episode that's kind of a clunker? Like,
I think I'm not going to give it away, but
I think there is a clunker episode in this round
(09:40):
of Stranger Things. They just need to get from A
to C. So the B episode is the clucker. Now
I'm gonna watch the season wondering which is the clunker episode?
Is this the one? The reason to say that is
Alex was watching it ahead of me. He said, Oh,
I just watched the clunker. You know, I love the
movie Homeland or the show Homeland, and every other episode
is a clunker. And but I still keep watching because
(10:02):
you know that after you get past that clunker, there's
gonna be a good one. But if you missed a clunker,
you're gonna miss out something. But the clunker is usually
the set up episode. It's like setting up something to
come well. Well. For instance, in Breaking Bad, there was
one episode, and I'm giving I'm not giving anything away here.
There's one episode. It's just a couple of people in
a meth lab chasing a fly. That's the whole episode.
(10:24):
And it doesn't it doesn't do anything to the story.
It has nothing to do with the story. Nothing happens
in that. And have you guys seen that one. Yes,
it doesn't do anything. It doesn't even it doesn't even
if it was just based on a book, it wouldn't
even be in the book. It's like a little bonus
episode almost. Do you know they're in the publishing world.
They're doing this where before the main book they published
(10:47):
these little things called novellas where it's like a hundred
and fifty pages and it gives you all the detail
and all the background story before you begin the main story.
I used that in high school. It's called cliff notes,
lifts notes right like Ruth's Chris. It's like Ruth's Chris
because Cliff gave you notes there his I love Cliff's Notes.
I used to rely on those all the time. That
(11:08):
got me through high school. That yellow and black striped
cover on those. Now what the kids are doing, this
is what my son will do if he has to
read a book, he will do the audio and he'll
just follow along as with the book, so that he
really doesn't have to think about it. And I thought
that the kids now. So I have book club and
I often will listen to the audio. My friends will
read it. And it is very interesting how your brain
(11:31):
absorbs the book in two different ways when you're listening
as opposed to when you're reading. Talk about that. I
think that's interesting. I never thought about that. I pick
up on details because the way the narrator reads it
and the way the narrator says certain words and certain names.
I pick up on stuff that my friends who read
it sometimes they pick up on timelines and time stamps
in the book that I don't get from the audio.
So when we discussed the book, it's a really it's
(11:53):
a well rounded experience because it was we consumed it
in two different formats. We're thinking about getting back into
a book club of thing'll be fun to the audio.
Listen to the audio. Audio does count? That is the book.
Kathleen gives me the best suggestions for books. Every book
she suggests, I love, Oh Thank You, as I have
an excellent book club I have a lot of smart
girls and they pick excellent reads. A little tip for
(12:14):
you on the audio books on the iPod as a
two times the speed playback option. You hit that after
like a minute or two, you get used to it.
You can get through a book twice a half the time. Yeah,
I do that all the time. I never thought of that.
It really instead of Harry Potter went into the It's
like Harry Potter went into the store and after a
while you don't realize it, and the book goes half
(12:34):
the time it does. It kind of great on your
nerves a little bit, not as much as I do.
I listened to the David Sedaris book three times the
speed because I was late getting it done for book club,
and it felt like an acid trip. The time you
read a book, time you read a street sign. I
don't read books, I really have. You don't watch television?
(12:59):
Do watch TV? A little bit? Not? Really? Would you
say high school was the last time you read a book? No,
I mean, let's see school. I read I read um
like a pizza sign. No, you know what, I haven't
really read any book. Does a men you count as
a book? It's embarrassing. I am I less worldly person. No, No,
some people just aren't readers. I'm finishing a book, about
(13:20):
to start another one, which one I'm currently reading a
great book about Studio fifty four, the legendary club here
in New York City. See now I would read that
book like that, but not. It's written by the guy
who bought it from the dudes who rebel, the guys
who are thrown in prison. Still lots of cocaine and stars.
It's fantastic. But the book I'm about to read is
(13:41):
just sisters just came out. It's the Bush Twins, and
because they're great, I love them, and so I'm reading
that next. Kathleen, what's the one I'm about to read?
I forget the names all the missing girls. When the
Bush Twins were controversial because they drank, Yeah, but they
were growing up girls, right. But I'm like, that seems
so simple now. And now I'm from friends with one
(14:02):
of them, and you know what, and they live down
here in Tribeca and they're great. You know. You know
there's a Today show. There's a podcast on I Heart
Radio called the Public Library Podcast. It's all about books
and very little over at light f M and they
interview all these great authors, what about turtles? All the
way down from John Green? I read that. I just
got it inaudible. Why did you look at me when
(14:23):
I set up I'm friends with Jenna Bush, because you
seem to be becoming friends with president's kids. You have
a couple now, well, I mean it's through work though
it's Today Show and we don't hang out with it
to most people don't know any presidential kids. Well, you're
gonna be hanging out with Sasha and Malia soon. I
need to find some Roosevelts. Maybe I'll buy an audio book. Well,
(14:44):
Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt that doesn't. You should start
with an audio book. Listen to a book this weekend.
Find a topic you like, maybe a person, get a biography,
and listen to I don't like fiction. Well, all right,
have a good weekend. Fifteen minute morning l
What would you talk about on your on your podcast

Isn't there always one episode that's kind of a clunker? Like,
I think I'm not going to give it away, but
I think there is a clunker episode in this round
(09:40):
of Stranger Things. They just need to get from A
to C. So the B episode is the clucker. Now
I'm gonna watch the season wondering which is the clunker episode?
Is this the one? The reason to say that is
Alex was watching it ahead of me. He said, Oh,
I just watched the clunker. You know, I love the
movie Homeland or the show Homeland, and every other episode
is a clunker. And but I still keep watching because
(10:02):
you know that after you get past that clunker, there's
gonna be a good one. But if you missed a clunker,
you're gonna miss out something. But the clunker is usually
the set up episode. It's like setting up something to
come well. Well. For instance, in Breaking Bad, there was
one episode, and I'm giving I'm not giving anything away here.
There's one episode. It's just a couple of people in
a meth lab chasing a fly. That's the whole episode.
(10:24):
And it doesn't it doesn't do anything to the story.
It has nothing to do with the story. Nothing happens
in that. And have you guys seen that one. Yes,
it doesn't do anything. It doesn't even it doesn't even
if it was just based on a book, it wouldn't
even be in the book. It's like a little bonus
episode almost. Do you know they're in the publishing world.
They're doing this where before the main book they published
(10:47):
these little things called novellas where it's like a hundred
and fifty pages and it gives you all the detail
and all the background story before you begin the main story.
I used that in high school. It's called cliff notes,
lifts notes right like Ruth's Chris. It's like Ruth's Chris
because Cliff gave you notes there his I love Cliff's Notes.
I used to rely on those all the time. That
(11:08):
got me through high school. That yellow and black striped
cover on those. Now what the kids are doing, this
is what my son will do if he has to
read a book, he will do the audio and he'll
just follow along as with the book, so that he
really doesn't have to think about it. And I thought
that the kids now. So I have book club and
I often will listen to the audio. My friends will
read it. And it is very interesting how your brain
(11:31):
absorbs the book in two different ways when you're listening
as opposed to when you're reading. Talk about that. I
think that's interesting. I never thought about that. I pick
up on details because the way the narrator reads it
and the way the narrator says certain words and certain names.
I pick up on stuff that my friends who read
it sometimes they pick up on timelines and time stamps
in the book that I don't get from the audio.
So when we discussed the book, it's a really it's
(11:53):
a well rounded experience because it was we consumed it
in two different formats. We're thinking about getting back into
a book club of thing'll be fun to the audio.
Listen to the audio. Audio does count? That is the book.
Kathleen gives me the best suggestions for books. Every book
she suggests, I love, Oh Thank You, as I have
an excellent book club I have a lot of smart
girls and they pick excellent reads. A little tip for
(12:14):
you on the audio books on the iPod as a
two times the speed playback option. You hit that after
like a minute or two, you get used to it.
You can get through a book twice a half the time. Yeah,
I do that all the time. I never thought of that.
It really instead of Harry Potter went into the It's
like Harry Potter went into the store and after a
while you don't realize it, and the book goes half
(12:34):
the time it does. It kind of great on your
nerves a little bit, not as much as I do.
I listened to the David Sedaris book three times the
speed because I was late getting it done for book club,
and it felt like an acid trip. The time you
read a book, time you read a street sign. I
don't read books, I really have. You don't watch television?
(12:59):
Do watch TV? A little bit? Not? Really? Would you
say high school was the last time you read a book? No,
I mean, let's see school. I read I read um
like a pizza sign. No, you know what, I haven't
really read any book. Does a men you count as
a book? It's embarrassing. I am I less worldly person. No, No,
some people just aren't readers. I'm finishing a book, about
(13:20):
to start another one, which one I'm currently reading a
great book about Studio fifty four, the legendary club here
in New York City. See now I would read that
book like that, but not. It's written by the guy
who bought it from the dudes who rebel, the guys
who are thrown in prison. Still lots of cocaine and stars.
It's fantastic. But the book I'm about to read is
(13:41):
just sisters just came out. It's the Bush Twins, and
because they're great, I love them, and so I'm reading
that next. Kathleen, what's the one I'm about to read?
I forget the names all the missing girls. When the
Bush Twins were controversial because they drank, Yeah, but they
were growing up girls, right. But I'm like, that seems
so simple now. And now I'm from friends with one
(14:02):
of them, and you know what, and they live down
here in Tribeca and they're great. You know. You know
there's a Today show. There's a podcast on I Heart
Radio called the Public Library Podcast. It's all about books
and very little over at light f M and they
interview all these great authors, what about turtles? All the
way down from John Green? I read that. I just
got it inaudible. Why did you look at me when
(14:23):
I set up I'm friends with Jenna Bush, because you
seem to be becoming friends with president's kids. You have
a couple now, well, I mean it's through work though
it's Today Show and we don't hang out with it
to most people don't know any presidential kids. Well, you're
gonna be hanging out with Sasha and Malia soon. I
need to find some Roosevelts. Maybe I'll buy an audio book. Well,
(14:44):
Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt that doesn't. You should start
with an audio book. Listen to a book this weekend.
Find a topic you like, maybe a person, get a biography,
and listen to I don't like fiction. Well, all right,
have a good weekend. Fifteen minute morning l
