Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Let's go around the room and see what's on your
mind today. What is on your mind today? We'll start
with Gandhi. What's going on all right?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
We were talking about things that relieve your stress and
you said music. We said dancing and singing. The thing
for me that releaves my stress the most is being
around people I love. And my very best friend in
the entire world is in town right now, and I
spent all day at night with her yesterday. And when
I tell you, the amount of groundedness and feeling of
being centered that I have after being with her, it's
(00:33):
just the best. And I don't know why we don't
live near each other.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
You always have her keep in mind. I always can
always think of her, and that will that will calm
you down. It's not the same as having her there,
but it's a close second.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yes, she's just the best. I love you these that's all.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
What are you guys doing today?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well, she's actually leaving today, so I just got off
for a quick mom and in and out.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Back to stress. Here's your sandwich on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
It turns out you really do get more with sugar
than with spice. So one of the things I do
for the show is I record commercials for everyone. Okay,
it's sometimes hard to wrangle different individuals on the.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Show, and you get cursed out for things I do sometimes.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
But the worst of which the hardest because he just
forgets constantly, is Scary Jones. I will chase him sometimes
for a couple of days to get a commercial. So
last week, instead of sending him the vague threats like
I usually said, I said, Scary, your butt's so nice,
but I don't want to chase it. And he came
in giggling the next commercial break to cut his spot.
So I will be complimenting your butt way more often.
Scary you with sugar.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
You can literally lure him with sugar.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
If you have a cooking.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Sug.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Sugar still works with him.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Put eminem trail.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
He'll be at hey, Foggy, what's up with you today?
What are you thinking about? I had the strangest thing yesterday.
So I saw a guy walk up to my front door.
He didn't ring the doorbell or anything. I hadn't ordered anything,
and then he left. There was an Instacart order outside
my door. It was stuff I would never eat, stuff
I would never use. He was gone before I noticed
that it was there. I didn't know what to do.
Who do you call?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
What do you do?
Speaker 6 (01:57):
I called a couple of neighbors to see if it
was any of theirs. Maybe they dropped it at the
wrong place. They didn't, So I called everybody any in
the neighborhood, and I said, come get whatever you want,
because it's not stuff that I use.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Everybody got for days. I mean, you can't just call instacart,
can't you? I mean you can't, but they don't usually know.
What do you What do you do?
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
If he didn't use it and doesn't have it, then
how would you even get ahold of them?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I would have left it for a little while and
then if no one came to claim it, I would
have I would have.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
It had ice cream, it had all in milk, all
kinds of stuff. I put it in the freezer. I
waited a little bit, and then I digmedied up amongst
the neighbors. Someone lost money on that. Yeah, Hey, what's up, Danielle.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So I'm so excited because today is what the eighteenth
of September, which mats in about a week and a half.
Two weeks, I get to take the Annabelle doll out
and I get to torment all of you here at
the radio station like I did last year. I love
that she's just waiting to come out and meet you all,
especially you Sam. I don't like she can't wait to
see you again.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
You're not gonna like it when someone matches that energy
with a clown.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You know what, Please not the mayonnaise park because it
smells We've done that before.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
But I'm very excited.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Annabel on the way scary, what's up?
Speaker 8 (03:03):
I bought a Bluetooth record player and I decided to
take out some of my old records. Yesterday I played
the Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique, one of my favorite albums
of all time. But I listened to it to completion,
and I realized we don't really do that anymore with music.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
You just shuffle around on your.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
You know, your your your your whatever it is you
know on on social media.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But point it.
Speaker 8 (03:24):
My point is take an album and listen to it
the way it was intended as a work, from beginning
to end.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
We don't do that often enough, and you should because
it tells a story. I agree. I agree. They put
it in that in that sequence for a reason. They
put those songs in that order for a reason. I agree.
Straight eight. What's up with you today?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Okay, like all of us in this room, I'm late
to the party for Showgun, but I started it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The other day.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Wow, it is so well done, so historically accurate, and yeah,
I'm a nerd. I'm on look Wikipedia when I watch
historical you know, fiction or whatever this is.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And my god, the fact that they went and had
somebody write the script.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
They said it to historians to translate it into feudal
Japanese and then gave it to the actors for them
to learn. My god, it's like looking into a time machine.
So give it, give it a whirl. So here's the
thing about Showgun. It definitely is a thinking person's production.
The production.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
The reason I bring that up is Mark Adams, our
programming genius, who is a genius genius and in real
life he's a huge Showgun fan. Where is I want
to get him in here? He's here here, And do
you want to hear a word or two from the
smartest man in the universe?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yes, I find out new things about our boss by
the way, every day, every single time I talk to him.
You know, he can beat the crap out of any
one of us.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I bet you one hundred dollars. He has a Prince Albert,
he has a sleeve tattoo tattoo, and.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
He played soccer himself.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
That's why he's stopped.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
But he's a genius. Okay. One of the first times
we had lunch with each other, he said, Showgun man,
you gotta watch Showgun. I don't know. Am I smart
enough to watch Showgun?
Speaker 8 (05:02):
And he's got a great radio voice too.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I know, ladies and gentlemen. I now introduce the smartest
man in the universe, Marcus Adams. He come in, Come in, Mark.
We're talking about Showgun. But I say, I think it's
a thinking person's production. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
I mean it's based off of the classic novel by
James Clavell. That's part of his his Asian saga. There
were six or seven books.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Did you read all of them? I did?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, I can't keep on.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Showgun is one of my favorite novels of all time,
and it is a doorstop of a book. It's like
fourteen hundred pages. What you say, do I want to
read a book doorstop.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't know, so you are. I don't know. Showgun
may be above the heads of us or some of us,
and maybe many people listening. I don't know why.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
No, I don't think so. It's it's just a fantastic story.
I mean, it's historical fiction, so it's not directly tied
into things that occurred, but it's incredibly accurate. I mean,
it's a it's a real window into what sixteenth century
Japan looked like and all of the politics and the
wars between the various clans and and its center. It's
(06:12):
just a political story. If you like Game of Thrones,
you're gonna like Showgun. It's about various dueling, devious leaders
and their Machavelian plans to get ahead and achieve ultimate power.
And there's love and there's intrigue, and there's betrayal, and
there's gorgeous vistas. It's absolutely stunning.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And I thought, I thought the FX show was excellent,
like very very good. He is the smartest man in
the world, and learn and we learned something new about
you every time you walk in.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, I found out so much about him. The other day,
I was like, go on, But when you watch the show.
Are you watching the dubbed version or are you watching
in Japanese with subtitles?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I like Japanese with subtitles. Yeah, yeah, I think if
you listen to the overdub of English actors, it's probably
puts you off a little bit. Yeah. I mean, I'm
kind of a nerd with that stuff as well.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
It's like, I know, when I watch I Know, shocking, Yeah,
when I liked when I watch foreign films, I'd much
rather watch them and listen to them in the original
language and read the subs.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, why do I feel like you watch it without
the subtitles and just no.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Gen No, I'm not that bright, Okay, I wish I
had glasses. I god read this. According to the official
podcast hosted by showgunstaff writer and former culture writer Emily Yoshida,
every script was actually written first in English, reviewed by
a Japanese producer, set off for Japanese translation, reviewed by
a Japanese playwright for adherence to period specific language, and
(07:41):
then retranslated back to English for the subtitles.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Yeah, it's amazing one of the things they changed for
the show. And look, they needed to do this because
otherwise it would have been like really hard language and
language barriers is a really central point because Japan at
that time was incredibly isolated, like most of the world
didn't even know it existed. And the mercenary not mercenaries,
I'm sorry, the missionaries from the Catholic Church that had
(08:07):
been in Japan at the time. Like being able to
speak Japanese. That was the key because nobody otherwise. You
couldn't communicate, you couldn't set up trade deals, you couldn't
try to build alliances. And so in the book you
have like three tiers of translation often going on where
you have a Japanese character like Toro Naga, who if
he wants to speak to Blackthorne, who only speaks that
(08:30):
at the beginning of the story, he only speaks English
and Dutch, so he has to the Tornaga has to
speak to a priest who is translating from Japanese into
Portuguese into English back to Dutch, and the miscommunication, sometimes
deliberate miscommunication during that process that pushes forward a lot
(08:51):
of the story.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But do you have any interest in visiting Japan?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Yeah, I'd love to go. We're going next year. Excellent,
I'd love to wanting to visit. I think it looks amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Next fall. Absolutely, Oh, people are texting you they want
to marry you any time. Everything marks on the show,
and we always learn something new about you. You can
kick our assa.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And multiple ways, by the way, not just one. Yeah, okay,
what was it you did taekwan?
Speaker 7 (09:25):
I did taekwondo, I did moyetai, taking karate, and I
boxed for a number of years. And he said soccer, soccer,
not anymore now I'm old and broken, but yes I did.
I did all these things before. We've got sleeve tattoos everywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
In My new hypothesis is you have a Prince Albert.
I don't know. We don't even have to go down
that road. I just deny it. It's just us get
that vocabulary from from learning. He didn't grow up in
Brooklyn in the Bronx, but there are people there that
have fantastic That is true. They do. It's not me
(09:58):
or scary. But all right, well, Mark, we must take
a break. But we're so happy you came to see us.
Thank you, guys, Mark Adams. Every year you need a
great date you want, we can get you a date.
He's broken, but he's he's datable,
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
