Speaker 1 (00:01):
Let's play a game with Elvis Duran in the Morning show.
It is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, very important. I'm so,
I'm so glad. As I said earlier that this isn't
something we sweep under the rug like we used to
do back in the day. And maybe you're not old
enough to remember those days, but mental health, for anyone,
(00:22):
be it female, male, or whatever, it was just not
talked about. If there was a there was a big,
big rope block up. No, no, let's not talk about that.
Heaped for bid we talk about mental health. Well, I'm
glad we are now, and it's never gonna be enough.
We should always talk about it. You know, if you
or someone you know is going through a world and
(00:44):
a life of not trying to not be able to
figure out what's wrong, but there's something going on and
you just know it and your gut in your heart
and you're not reaching out to anyone for help on it,
go ahead, do it.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I think it's great.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I think it takes courage, absolutely, but I think it's
something you owe yourself because you are your number one
advocate for all things health, be it mental or physical
or whatever, right spiritual. So we were talking about this
Men's Health Awareness Month topic a few days ago off
the air, and Gandhi said, hmm, I think I'm able
(01:18):
to do I may be able to do something with this.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
So your little music going here, and you can turn
that down a little bit. So what are your thoughts here? Gandhi?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Okay, So, I think that when you hear some of
these people, we know that.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
They have had issues.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
But I also think it really helps to see some
of the most popular people in the world struggling with
some of the same things that you might be struggling with.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
So it's going to be very easy.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
All you have to do is identify who the person
is and then we'll tell you what they're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Easy. I like that, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
So, and by the way, this list of male celebrities
is I mean, it's all over the road. I mean
different genres of entertainment, maybe music or acting or whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
We'll see how you do.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Kelly is on Line five calling from Cleveland, listening to kiss.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
How are you doing, Kelly? Welcome to the day, Welcome
to Tuesday, Thank you, good morning, and good morning.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Any thoughts before we get going? What do you feel
about Men's Mental Health Awareness Month?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
And the importance of it.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I think it's so important. I mean, I personally it's
women's mental health, but it's something that I think we
all deal with, and I think it's important that we
talk about it, and it's not something that's shameful, so.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Exactly, and the fact that there are celebrities who are
willing to go beyond what they do on stage and
on film and in recording studios, going beyond that to
talk about it. And I think that's what Gandhi's wanting
to point out here right all right, through the right way,
exactly exactly, through the magic of sound.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Here is celebrity number one.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I'm ready to go in coach, just give me a chance.
I know there's a lot riding on it, but it's
all psychological. Just got to stay in a positive frame
of mind.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
M who's that?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I am no idea. Oh no, I thought I would
do good at this. I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
You know what, It's kind of tricky. This guy plays
a lot of different characters. I play it again, maybe
he'll recognize his voice.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
I'm ready to go in coach, Just give me a chance.
I know there's a lot riding on it, but it's
all psychological. Just got to stay in a positive frame
of mind.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hmm.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
That one, I don't know. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That is Jim Carrey.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, okay, yep, I didn't know the reference.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, definitely ace Ventura. That's something about Jim Carrey. You don't.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
You don't always know if it's him. He's very he's
such a talented guy.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
He was very very outspoken about depression. U, here is
an artist, a musical artist.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Who's this? Hell hella? Who's that?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Oh my god, I'm terrible. I have no idea. I'm
looking at list. Is that Kid Cuddy? I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
No, that was not Cuddy. That was Zaye Mallick.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
And she's trying to cheat.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'm looking it up.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Love's talking about how resourceful you are.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Zaye Malick was very outspoken about anxiety and eating disorder
and all sorts of things. Uh. And now here's the
artist number three?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Okay, Now who do you think that was?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
And then again Kid Cuddy on that one.
Speaker 2 (04:34):

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Kid Cuddy of course in the news of late, but
also was very very very outspoken about depression, anxiety and
suicidal thoughts and urges and things like that. You know what,
Thank you kid Cutty for coming on talking about it.

Who's this pandemic made people crazy?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I thought we're all.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Going to come together. That's what I believed. It's like
an independence state.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
That's what happened. To Remember, well, Smith was supposed to
be our hero.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
It's Trevor, you guys say, super haughty Trevor.

sometimes you have to deal with depression in adh date,
here is someone else who's always in the news.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
The decision has been being a surprise as well as
not a surprise.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
For the time being, it's impossible for me to take
my family back to the UK safely.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Okay, Harry absolutely, yes, Who's been very vocal not only
in his book but also in public about anxiety and
panic attacks and grieving as well after especially what happened
with his mother. All right, here we go. Here's one

his eyebrow going up. You know, we're trying to figure
out what he's cooking. But yeah, he's been very vocal
about depression. All Right, another actor. We've had him on
the show a long time ago. Who is this now?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Now with Twilight, it's known to be this is a
very emo thing. I mean, if you're going into a
relationship with.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Someone barely talked to each other, you can barely touch
each other, and it's incredibly serious all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Mm I don't know that he mentioned a project in
the very beginning.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, that's Robert Pattinson, who's talked a lot about severe
anxiety trouble in the public eye.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Also, finally, so what we love very much. He grew
up coming to our.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Show and he's just a nice, sweet guy and he's
been very, very very well.
