Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I realized yesterday.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
I got back into town on Saturday, and I didn't
leave the house till Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Didn't leave the house. Wow, that sounds they stated it was.
It was great.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I left for a birthday party, came home on Tuesday night,
and I haven't left since then.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I don't think I've ever leved. No, I'm no. We're
having lunch today. I'm gonna leave the house.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You have to leave today.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm gonna leave the house to come see you my
family for lunch. That I'm running back to the house
and locking the door. I'm pulling up the drawbridge. The
alligators in the moat will keep me safe.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You've been coming to shut in, Elvis. I think I am.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I mean when I was a kid and I got
sent to my room, I loved it because I had
a lot of cool stuff in my room.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah. I was hooked up, man. I had a tari pong,
I had everything.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Know, nowadays you have to take everything. You have to
unplug everything. Give me the phone, the iPad, the computer,
the this, you know, make them go play outside. H Exactly,
you will suffer.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
But you know I got my dogs. You know, I'm
out here in the country just kind of hanging out.
I'm but then I'm starting to evaluate it, like, hmm,
should you be thinking this through? Why are you shutting
down like this?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Huh? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Maybe you just need a break. Sometimes you just need
a break.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well maybe, And I'm loving it.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's okay to stay home, hey, but whilst staying home
you tend to fall down these rabbit holes or whatever
they are.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
And online and.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Gandhi sent this, she sent this lake to me, and
I'm fascinated with it too. Tell everyone what it is
because I cannot get enough of it, and others like it.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
It's inmates in prison looking for pen pals.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
They have like little bios on Instagram where somebody films
them and they talk about the things they like and
how you can reach them, and none of it. For
of all, all these people are about to get out
of jail they say, or prison, I should say. Some
have been in for a long time. Some didn't do it,
a lot didn't do it. But it's just it's fascinating
to watch these little these guys sit there and talk
(02:13):
about what they're into and what they're looking for.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Does he say what?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Do they say what they're in for?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Some do okay, some don't them do some don't. Oh yeah,
So this started.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
We were looking at the Idaho inmates. But then you
you there's there they're there are these this these pin
pot Pal accounts for every state, every prison. And look,
I was questioned, like, why does someone fall in love
with one of the Meninda's brothers, right right?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And how and how and they get married to them?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I didn't one of the menindez brothers marry someone like
who became in?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
She became infatuated with him?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Maybe maybe I know you're in vander Slute did.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Right, Yeah, vander Slute, all these murderers. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Anyway, So so I was thumbing through the Idaho and
and there's this one guy and I'm like, oh my god,
he's really attractive.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I thought it was Anthony. No, it wasn't Anthony.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
It was different one.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Anthony's good. You want to play Anthony, you can't play him.
I think he's clean Anthony. This is Anthony. He wasn't
Anthony interested in it?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Anthony?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I like getting tattoos, playing pe knuckle uh long, walks
on the reck yard and kennially spreads with the homies
and then he.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Throws up a gang sign. And there wasn't Anthony, not
at all. Was it the guy singing I don't know you?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
He who does he say? Yeah? Yeah, no it wasn't him,
but let's hear him. He sent us to us. We said,
listen to you.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Tell me the other things you want to do.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I heard that you left the bad guys.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's better than I ever even knew. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
So you know, look, when you're in prison, you have
lots of time, nothing but time.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
You know, it's a whole other.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's a whole other universe in there right, its own rules,
its own government, its own agenda, it's everything. So yeah,
but I just found them fascinating because they're just reaching out.
They just want to talk to someone that's not in
the in the house right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh for sure, that's what they said.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I just want someone to talk to you. I want friends,
the ones that are getting out soon or looking for
someone to date and you know, start their life over.
I was when I first saw the page, I was like,
what the hell is this? Oh my god, two hundred
and twenty thousand followers, this is wild, I know forty
two profiles in. I was like, okay, I get it.
I'm part of the place.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Do you think somebody just in case?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
No, No, I'm not a pen pal type.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But I don't know. I think I may strike up
a relationship with someone in prison.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Okay, why not? You just got to pick someone that's
gonna be there for a long time.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, that's the thing, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, it always said, you know, if you're gonna get married,
marry someone in prison, that's their long term maybe on
death row, never coming out.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
But what I'm saying is you always know where they
are at night. You always know where they are. You
always know that they're there. They're getting three squares a day.
You know they're good, you're getting exercise.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You don't always know what they're doing in there.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Oh you know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
It didn't matter. I'm never gonna see them anyway. I'll
go see them on visitation days through the glass. Any day.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm gonna have a conscience. Do they do that still?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
They really let you do that.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
They let them have sex in them, and they let
them have sex in the mobile home behind the.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Whole That's crazy. You're very lightening.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Exactly with someone out from outside press any Randy online
nineteen listening your channel nine nine nine, I believe in Dayton, Ohio.
Hey Randy, how you doing?
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I'm good?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
How are you doing well?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
So your aunt had an intimate pin pal thing with
someone in prison. Look, I need to talk to your
aunt and get some tips.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
She heard about the inmate thing and wanted to do
PayPal or pin pal in mates and asked her husband,
and her husband said no, I don't want to do it,
but you can go ahead and do it. And she
started talking to six people. Then the six turn into five,
and then the five turn into four, then just turn
into one, and then she ended up being romantic or
having romantic feelings for him, so ended up divorcing her
(06:14):
husband and marrying the man in jail.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Is he still in prison? Is her husband in prison?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay, what do you do?
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah? What did he do? What's he in for?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Mm?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Abusive? A corpse?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
All right? Well, okay, so he has many layers? All right?
But interesting how she like?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
She had six guys she was talking to, then it
ended she whittled it down to one.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
It's like American idol.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, and then one actually, uh, you know, gets the
prize abusive a corpse. Well, anyway, so did I mean,
I'm sure the family's talking about it, like whoa, Okay,
so your aunt is I mean, I mean, is everyone
happy for her?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Or is it kind of an oddity?
Speaker 5 (07:07):
This happened a couple of years ago, so I think
I feel like everybody's used to it now. He calls
her a couple times a day and she still comes
to family functions and stuff, so it's just like a thing.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I'm sure her husband was real happy that he told her,
go ahead, you do do it. Yeah, you know, still
live together.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Actually, oh wow, oh my god, this is this should
be a TV show.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
But they're not together, but they live together. And then
she's with this other guy.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Correct, Okay, all right, does she does she go visit
the guy and her husband in prison? She does?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Is he getting out anytime soon?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
He has a parole I think in twenty twenty five,
but his past parole hearings they've all been declined, so
I don't think. So he's been in there since he
was sixteen and he's forty eight now I believe Oh,
why gosh, she's a yeah, okay, Well, interesting story.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I would say, you know, if he gets out locked
the morgue, don't let him near it.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I'm confused though, like why, like, if you know you're
never ever going to see the guy, then why does
she even have to tell her husband? Why didn't she
just keep.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Both She's in love? She's in love Danielle, Okay, I
didn't know.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Well, thank you so much, Randy.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You know what interesting fascinating I'll find it fascinating A right, Randy,
thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't know. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
If you're married to someone and you love the reason
that you love the fact that they're locked up for
life because you never have to like really truly like
commit physically.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
What if they escape?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh god, he's coming home plot twist.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I mean he could get parole this time. Then well
then what is she going to do? Come on home, honey?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
At least she has her ex husband in the house
to keep her safe. I guess it's the strangest story
I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I'm sure he didn't do it. None of them did it,
that's right. They they're all innocent.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
M Well, okay, anyway, Thank you for sending me that link.
It's given us hours of pleasure and satisfaction.
