Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey can I can I ask you guys a question
because I know you've gone to you and Nate, you've
both worked in restaurants, right, So I would I went
out to dinner last night in Coconut Grove, this this
place called Jaguar. Oh my god, it was so good.
I had some Peruvian food. It was fabulous, out of margarita.
We went back to the hotel and I'm gonna get
a glass of wine before I go to bed. So
I went up to the beautiful hotel, beautiful restaurant with
(00:27):
the beautiful people go to eat beautiful food.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Right. So I sit down.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
And wearing my jeans, not really fitting in, and I
realized all the guys, especially the guys that work in
this restaurant, and there's a lot of them, they're all
like runway model perfect. Yeah, I mean we're even I'm
sure even straight guys like Nate, which is questionable. Straight
(00:51):
guys look at them and go, oh my god, this
guy's beautiful. And there it was just a bevy of
beautiful guys, right, And they talked to you, and I'm like,
oh my god, they talked to how do you legally
do this? How do you get away with only hiring
beautiful people?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I don't know if you can legally get away with it,
but I will tell you my experience. When I lived
in Los Angeles, I tried to get a job at
this place called the Saddle Range.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Right, And that sounds like a whorehouse in Vegas?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Well, you know, more or less kind of is because
it was the big bar on the Sunset Strip that
had the bowl, you know that the bowl, the mechanical
bull that people could ride, and if you were a
bartender there, you made bank. So I go there hiring
day and I show up and I kid you not,
it was gorgeous people holding headshots to get.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Did they ask you to bring headshots?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
People had head shots? I don't understand if that's legal.
But you go to some of these bars and it's
just very very very attractive people that are working.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Wasn't there a store Abercrombie er wasn't Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Didn't they only hire hot people? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:01):

Speaker 6 (02:04):
Now they hit the ugly people in the back and
the hot people were out front. Yes, so dating suits.
Speaker 7 (02:08):
I worked at like a bar club for a while also,
and they would write even on the applications like cute
front of house, back of house, like they would write
it on the applications.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I saw it. That's terrib I'm sure it's not.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I feel like they do that at TV shows though, too,
Like for a studio audience, they put the hot or
more attractive people to the front of the audience.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
They move everybody to like it's never gonna hurt your business.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Maybe their hair.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Radio matter.
Speaker 6 (02:37):

a restaurant.

an ugly section.
Speaker 3 (03:21):

Speaker 2 (03:22):
And they put you they put you in the ugly
section at a sushi restaurant at the shore.
Speaker 3 (03:28):

I did.
Speaker 3 (03:36):

Speaker 6 (03:38):
In the rafters. I didn't get to sit on the
floor there either.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
We have to be that day for the Jersey Shore. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, so now they put me up in the rafters too,
and it's okay.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You know, I started looking around, like, yes, we're all
so ugly. You're up here.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Do you just flank yourself with attractive people and you
can well, I.
Speaker 2 (03:57):

Speaker 2 (04:07):
They know your seat number before, they know your seat
number before you think they do nice try scary Yeah, yeah, froggy.
Speaker 9 (04:15):
So Lisa works out in apartment community and not clear Water,
and it was a high end apartment community. And when
they hired her to lay out topless by the pool
deck when the boats would come in and when investors
came so she would go there. This this this woman
who was we still know. She would go out lay
out by the pool. She would be topless. When the
investors and boaters or whoever, when they were trying to
(04:36):
get people to purchase apartments, and I get.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It, every guy was like, oh, we definitely should get
an apartment here.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
This place is great work every time.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Look at that. Who's Nate's talking to someone.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
He's got a victim on the phone, an attractive person them.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
What's your sign? What do you go, Nate? Give me Rebecca?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Give me Rebecca on nineteen Here she is right here
high Rebecca.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
What's going on.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Much?
Speaker 8 (05:06):
What's going on with you? Guys?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well? Doing a show?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So are you coming to comment on this attractive weight
person conversation? It is.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
I was a bartender and the rule was we only
hire good looking bartenders, and that was very well known,
legal or not. Yeah, what's the deal? Wow?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You could easily and you know, interviewing someone just determine
at that point, oh well they're very qualified, you know,
but in the back of your mind they're hot.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Let's hire them totally.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You don't have to say it out loud. And therefore
it's it's not It's not illegal, is it.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
I would say no, but it was absolutely said out
loud like a ugly bartender.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh wow, okay, I would say it to their faces.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Well they I mean, it was just it was just no,
no ugly bar, and it was okay. I mean, this
was a while ago, guys, this was before politically correct.
But you know, that was the thing. I knew some
people that the bar. I mean, I'm in Fort Lauderdale,
so I knew some people where it was step on
the scale before, you know, and that was the kind
(06:17):
of a joke.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
No, sex cells always has, always will.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
We should have scales here at the door.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Oh god, through the door.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I can't even fit to the door.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Yeah, gandhi, So is this actually illegal?
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Because aren't there certain businesses that you could argue you
need to have an attractive person in that position or
else you're going to damage the business, like strippers or
in this case, wait staff or Hooters? Right like, you
want a Hooters, you want girls with Hooters? So is
it illegal to discriminate based on attractiveness? I don't think
that's a protected class.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I don't know, I don't knew it I think I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I don't know into hooters where the hooters? Weren't that hootie.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Don't give that address out. No one was to go there.
All right, well, look, thank you so much for your call.
But by the way, you were chosen to be a bartender.
So don't you feel kind of good about that?
Speaker 8 (07:15):
I do. I'm a lot older now, but I do
for back then.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, all right, well, thank you very much. I appreciate
you calling in as safe drive to work. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
And there you go. Uh nine twenty we have it.
I'm a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I've got Alex the official as of now, the official.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Lawyer for the morning show. Look, we hired a lawyer.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
It is Alex hot Hi, Alex, she is hot nod.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I'm sorry, no, no, Alex talking about it? What I'm
sure the rule law, laws, not rules, but rules and
laws differ from state to state and city to city,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
But where are you calling from? What state are you from?
Speaker 8 (07:53):
I'm in New Hampshire, but I've also lived in New York.
And for employment, they're going to be focusing on like
a sex, religion, sexual orientation, things like that. But your
level of hotness isn't a protected class.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yes, wow, you can think of it.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
In an innocent way.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
Like Disney, they want to hire actors that look like
those actors, like the actual.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Character, right, okay, all right, And actually when I auditioned
for Disney years ago, they said, we're looking for a
particular look to put in this role. We're not looking
to build a role around you, and you are, so
they were very honest about it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So if you look at your weight, staff as well,
it's a role you're playing here because we have a
certain thing we want to get across as a vibe.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
So I guess so it's not protected Alex, is not discrimination.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
So I'm sorry, straight mate. You can't say you were
discriminated against because you're too hot.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
There you go, wow, wow, too hot?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
She got confused.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, I love that. All right, Alex, we're gonna keep
you on retainer. You're officially our our attorney. We appreciate it.
Have a safe drive. Thanks for listening to us. Okay,
take care. All right, Well there you go. I guess
where I'm gonna have wine again tonight with my hot waiters. Yes,
(09:13):
as model, let's go around the room. And no, no,
let's do yeah around the room, then Danielle lots to do.
Everyone here is hot, so you're allowed to stay.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
You're very hot. No, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, stop it. I like this text. I'm an employment
law attorney. It's not illegal to discriminate based on attractiveness.
There's no protected class of attraction versus unattractive. There's actually
a case out of Iowa where a dentist fired his
assistant for being too hot.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Too hot to check out this and here's another one.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I love a local bar. We go to the only
hire good looking people, but they're all as dumb as rocks.
