Speaker 9 (05:20):
All right?

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Accused killer Luigi Mangioni's pre trial hearing in New York
City will enter day five today. On Monday, his defense
lawyers claimed police in Pennsylvania made up a story about
a possible bomb as a reason to search Mangioni's backpack
without a warrant. Police say they found his manifesto and
the weapon allegedly used to murder United Healthcare CEO Brian

(05:41):
Thompson inside that bag Mangioni's team wants the gun and
all evidence found in the backpack excluded from the upcoming
murder trial, saying authorities didn't have the legal right to
go through the backpack.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
They said some of this stuff was rolled up in
wet underwear.

Speaker 9 (05:55):
Oh hello, didn't we have that problem here at the
studio at one point somebody's wet underwear? Oh no, that
was something else.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
I have no idea where you're going with this, but I.

Speaker 9 (06:06):
Wasn't underwear in the garbage because they did something.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Yeah, Guard, Danielle, your story? Why did you bring that up?
It was wet, but not with moisture. Moving on, Moving on?

Speaker 5 (06:17):
What else is going on?

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Danielle? Danielle, sit in the corner all right.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Paramount has launched a bid to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery
after losing a bidding more to Netflix. In an announcement,
the company said it would pay thirty dollars per share
to acquire the media company. Netflix announced it planned to
buy the historic studio and it's streaming assets, and a
seventy two billion dollar last week nearly eighty three billion
when accounting for debt that will require federal approval.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
Warner Brothers.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Discovery said it will carefully review Paramount's offer and make
a decision within ten business days. And finally, Elvis, you're
not gonna like this on Denny's is shutting down additional
restaurants nationwide, then I know, I'm sorry about your Moons
over My Hammi. The diner chain closed any locations last year,
and reportedly has plans to close between seventy and ninety more.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
News of the.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Closures came after the Dinner Chang previously said it would
shutter about one hundred and fifty underperforming restaurants by the
end of this year.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
And those are your three things?

Speaker 4 (07:14):
What about my moon over my Hammy?

Speaker 6 (07:16):
You may still be able to get it. They're not
shutting all of them, just a lot of them.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
That makes me sad.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
You know what I know Denny's is. You know, it's Denny's,
is what it is. But we all kind of grew
up with Denny's always there, and the problem is it
for sure exactly? Well sometimes one time I went during
the day, I felt like, WHOA count Dracula out of
my crip. But you know, it's just one of those
places that's always there. But you don't really go to it,
and then it goes away, then you get mad. Well,

(07:44):
it's our fault.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
We didn't go get to Denny's asap.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Get on out there, stat Are you ready for your
what is this Tuesday? Yeah? Oh god? Are you ready
for your Tuesday? Yeah? Let's go.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Manifesting good vibes.

Speaker 4 (08:00):

Speaker 13 (08:03):
The horoscopes with Sam are next to tell Us Durand

Speaker 2 (08:30):

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Hey, if you know Jim Kurr down the hall at
Q and O four three, just tell him happy birthday.
We love you, Jim, Happy birthday. He's the best. We
love Jim Kerr. Anyway, I hope you have a happy birthday.
If it's your birthday today, we're gonna find out who
you celebrate with in just a second with our horoscopes
with producer Sam. I love this text that came out.
I guess we're not gonna call this guy. But that's okay,

(08:56):
Joe up in Buffalo. It's very cold up there right now,
by the way, he says, Oh, this is a different guy.
I'm on my way to the airport to travel to Brazil.
Oh my lord. Actually, yeah, there's a temperature change. Same Joe, though,
I think it could be the same Joe. Yes, he says,
good morning, It's Joe from Buffalo. He takes it several

(09:17):
times today. He says. Every morning I wake up, I
turn off my alarm on my phone, and I turn
your show on on my iHeartRadio app. Here's to another
great day. Love you listen to Joe. He's a satisfied customer.
He stays in touch with us. We love you, Joe,
Love you, Joe all the way to Brazil. Would that
be nice? Brazil?

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Jealous?

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Hey, did you hear any more stories about the the
the big tsunami in Japan or the possibility of tsunami
because of the wacky volcano or something in the world.
I don't know that, Kila. Well, no, it's in Japan.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
So there's a seven point five earthquake, it says, Okay,
hold on my computer wants to be slow today.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
When the thing is I have a friend in Japan,
but I don't think he's in Tokyo. I don't think
that's anywhere near where this is going on.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
Oh it was lifted this morning.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Okay, good. Yes, if you have a friend who's traveling
on the opposite end of the world, a part of
the world you don't know anything about, and you hear
there's one little problem there, you just assume they were
in the middle of the problem.

Speaker 9 (10:17):
Always.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
I don't know. But they lifted the tsunami warnings.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Yes, as of this morning.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
It says they were worried about tsunamis as high as
ten feet hitting the northern coast of the country.

Speaker 6 (10:29):
But as of this morning, they lifted that, so it
should be.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Okay, okay. So, just like peanut allergies, I don't remember
growing up hearing anything about tsunamis. No. I know they're
not a new thing, and I know peanut allergies are
not a new thing. But did you guys remember hearing
anything about tsunamis when you were kids.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
Oh, it was one of my biggest fears.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Really, Yeah, when you were a kid, Yes.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I was so scared of it.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Well, my dad would tell me these crazy stories about
not just tsunamis, but rogue waves, you know, being in
the middle of the ocean and all of a sudden, ah,
this huge thing comes and there's a story about this
Alaskan fisher village and somehow they found boats and trees
and they couldn't figure out what happened, and it was
this massive wave that just destroyed the Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
Yeah, so I was terrified of them.

Speaker 10 (11:09):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
The only reason I think we did not hear about
them when we were kids is because the news they
sheltered us from news around the world. Obviously, obviously there
was not a connection we have now to news as
it happens around the world because of you know, the
lack of internet back then.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Do you think it also has to do with where
you were, because Florida, you probably think about that stuff
more than you would here, maybe.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
Even though it's right here. See the movies.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Yeah, it can happen. Yeah, in Dallas, Texas, it was
all about tornadoes. We didn't care about tsuonamies. Yeah, oh too,
And in typical text and fashion, we didn't care about
anyone else. As a matter of fact, If you don't
live in Texas, you don't matter. We are our own country.
That's the way it is down there. Hey, let's get
into the horse coaches producer Sam. Who are you doing
them with anyone?

Speaker 10 (11:49):
Good?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, I'm gonna do it with Scotty.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
We missed him yesterday, Scotty, we did miss you yesterday.
Welcome back. That makes me so happy. I love you.
So let's go. Okay.

Speaker 8 (11:57):
If it's your birthday today, you share it with Jim
down the Hall, Dame Judy Dench, Felicity Huffman, and Donnie Osmond.
Soldier of love, Loving of that, Soldier of lofarious, big
song of his Soldier of love, Love that song. Sagittarius,
You're hungry for something new, and even small detours feel

(12:19):
like adventure. Your days an eight Capricorn. You have the
power to quiet and old insecurity. It's truly insignificant to others.
Your day's an eight Aquarius. You'll receive a piece of
information that changes how you view a certain acquaintance, and
it's juicy.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Your days of seven pie.

Speaker 14 (12:34):
Someone's energy is going to shift without explanation. Don't press
it and keep your composure.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Your day's seven.

Speaker 8 (12:41):
Aries sharpen your observation skills. Today, so much is happening
around you that you're missing your days of six.

Speaker 14 (12:47):
Hey, Tours, you are unusually adaptable, and it will make
a hard moment pass more easily than you feared.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
Your day's of six Gemini.

Speaker 8 (12:53):
The heart wants what it wants, but use your brain
as well, and you'll get exactly what you truly need.
Your Day's a ten.

Speaker 14 (12:59):
Cancer is something you've been holding back, will slip through
after the fallout.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
It'll be a relief.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
Your days of five Leo.

Speaker 8 (13:06):
You're no longer entertained by half truths. Today you demand
the whole story. Your days of nine Virgo.

Speaker 14 (13:12):
Sometimes routine soothes you, and sometimes you need to lean
into spontaneity. Try the ladder your day's of nine Libra.

Speaker 8 (13:19):
Someone's kindness lands in a way that makes your guard slip.
Don't worry, it's safe your days.

Speaker 14 (13:23):
Of nine and finally, Scorpio, some drama will unfold around you,
and for once you're content to just watch your days
and eight and those are your Tuesday morning horoscopes.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Talking about not hearing about tsunamis when we were growing up,
most of us anyway, this text I certainly thought I
would eventually encounter quicksand more as an adult.

Speaker 9 (13:40):
Yeah, it was in all those cartoons.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
It was you looked on the sand. It's like a hat.
Where'd the person go? So quicksand anyone here ever experienced
quicksand and a slow sand? Quicksand? Yeah, very slow sand.
What do you have coming up? Danielle Cardi bays now.

Speaker 9 (14:02):
Pier things an eminem strange request to Kate Winsley.

Speaker 13 (14:06):
Oh, there goes Elvis, Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 10 (14:12):
I cannot believe.

Speaker 9 (14:13):
I'm poppy, guys.

Speaker 10 (14:14):
Good morning.

Speaker 11 (14:15):
I love you all.

Speaker 10 (14:17):
I love you guys.

Speaker 9 (14:18):
I listened to you every morning morning.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Elister and your Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
I was watching that to Catch a Predator documentary last
night on Paramount Plus that Danielle was talking about yesterday,
and then Gandhi, I found out you watched it too, right, Yes,
what'd you think about it?

Speaker 3 (14:34):
I was very conflicted for a lot of reasons, and
I think I have to sit with it for a
minute because I don't want to ruin it for people.
Is that Can we talk about why we're conflicted or
I'm well, I mean.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
No, just whatever you want to say, Just say what
you want to say, I don't think you're you're gonna
ruin everything I mean or anything. People really know what
the show's about.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Well, it puts you in a position when you see
how it was filmed and sort of behind the scenes
on everything where you almost feel bad for these incredibly creepy,
icky people. But then you're like, oh no, there's something
wrong with you. And then you see all of this
extra footage that you didn't see and To Catch a
Predator because obviously it wasn't good enough for what they
were trying to do, and you think, ooh, okay, there's
a lot of weird kind of gray area here that

(15:14):
you probably didn't think about before. And I used to
always wonder when I would watch it, why wouldn't you
wait till the end to see their sentencing? Was it
so light? And sometimes nothing at all? And you find
out really like what was going on here, and it's.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
Like, oh, okay, it's just the whole topic. Of course,
if you ever watched Chris Hansen and To Catch a Predator,
where you know they would set up these guys, these
predators who thought they were going to meet up with
an underage girl or sometimes boy, and then you know
they would show up and then they would get caught.
They knew. Chris Hansen. I don't mean to laugh at it.

(15:46):
The whole scenario is kind of interesting.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
I laughed out loud numerous times at Chris Hanson's approach.
I was like, what the hell is going on here?

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, he just opens the door and walks out of
the bathroom and the guy's sitting there like uh. And
at that moment, the predator realizes his life is done.
And you know, it's just it's just creepy what they
were expecting to happen with these so called kids who
weren't kids legally, but they were said to be kids anyway.
But it just really shows you when you watch these

(16:16):
reality shows or these setup shows or shows like this,
what's real and what isn't? You know? They really they
really kind of pushed the limits when they were trapping
these predators. I didn't say entrapman, I said trapping because
they were. They basically were. And it's just one of

(16:38):
the interviews with the Sheriff's department, the guy said it
was as if we weren't even following the law anymore.
We're just following the director and the cameras. We did
what they told us.

Speaker 6 (16:47):
To do, Like who did we work for?

Speaker 4 (16:48):
It's so strange, and I.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Think anymore we're seeing so much of that coming out now.
The maybe early to mid two thousands reality TV there
were just no morals and no rules and it was
kind of the wild West. And now you're hearing all
of the stories of survival from them, whether it was
the Biggest Loser, America's Next Top Model, this it was
just like, damn, what were these people doing?

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Exactly? So remember when To Catch a Predator was out?
That was the years what two thousand and something, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I think it's twenty two thousand and four, two thousand
and seven.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
But now they still have a different version where people
are just they're just tiktoking it and doing their own
versions where they run into a Walmart to catch a
guy who was there to meet an underage girl, and
they start chasing him down the halls, ways and down
the aisles of a Walmart and screaming out, hey, everyone,
this guy's a child predator. And there's no police there

(17:42):
at all. You're like, what the hell's going on? You've
seen these things, right?

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Really, there's actually one TikToker that I know my son watches.
I don't know his name, and he changed his whole
he stopped doing what he was doing as a TikToker
to focus on this thing, this whole platform of trying
to catch individuals that are doing things like this.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Well, and these people should not be doing these things
like this. We all agree on that, yeah, but it's
just so. But to watch them sensationalize the whole catch
in a Walmart screaming out loud. But you know when
moms are walking around with their little babies trying to
you know, buy formula and stuff, It's like, what are
you doing?

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Putting themselves and everybody else in danger because you have
no idea anymore what somebody's going to do in a
situation like that, Like just leave it to other people.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Uh, you know you don't want to do Danielle here,
we should do Danielle if you go for it. Yah, okay,
thank you anyway. So it's the documentary to Catch a Predator.
I don't know the formal name, but if you just
called predators. If ever, you were a fan of Chris
Hansen walking out of the closet saying so you showed
up with condoms and loub just to have a conversation.

(18:51):
It's on Paramount Plus, it's an interesting watch and it
definitely is a part of our our TV history. Yeah,
it was a big show, all right, Danielle, what do
you going on here?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
All right?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
So Cardi b waited to deliver her new baby to
get four new piercings. Guys, just you know, if you remember,
remember when she got her butt cracked piers for then
a few weeks later fell out, flushed down with toilet. Well,
the lower back implants she got were placed a few
inches above her butt crack this time. So maybe we
won't lose those. I don't know, but we didn't see

(19:21):
One in five concert tickets sold over social media were fake.
In twenty twenty five. A report also estimated that hackers
scammed more than five billion dollars from followers of entertainers,
either impersonating the celebrity or ghosting the buyer. And the
list goes on and on about how many people got
ripped off because of social media this year.

Speaker 9 (19:43):
It's so crazy. You gotta be so careful out there.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
The Golden Globe nominees.

Speaker 9 (19:47):
Were announced yesterday.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Sidney Sweeney did not get nominated for the boxing biopick Christi.

Speaker 9 (19:52):
People thought she would.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
The Rocket nominated for his MMA biopick The Smashing Machine
One Battle after another leads all movies with nine, including
Best Drama. The White Lotus was the top TV show
with six. Wicked for Good didn't get nominated for Best Picture,
but it's up for a bunch of other things. Stranger
Things didn't get nominated either for anything. But Cynthia Arrivo

(20:14):
did something pretty cool. She didn't just get her Golden
Globe nom this time, but she has made Golden Globe history.
She's the first black woman to be nominated twice in
the Lead Actress Comedy or Musical category. So congratulations Cynthia Rivo.
And of course they have the new category which is
all about podcasting, and in that it's all celebrity podcasts

(20:36):
like Alex Cooper, Dax Shephard, Mel Robbins.

Speaker 9 (20:38):
The list goes on and on.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Eminem once asked a favor from Kate Winslet to shave
his butt cheeks.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Huh okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Her response was sorry, I don't do personal grooming. Apparently
they were booked for an SNL episode in two thousand
and four. Kate recalled his bizarre request and she was like, no,
I'm not gonna shave your butt, but crack love so

Speaker 4 (22:56):
All right, I'm not nervous at all about our More
show Holiday lunch coming up in about a week. And
according to Nate, we have no rules apologizing apologizing. I'm
abolishing all rules this year. Yeah, so I think we're
all adult enough to self discipline.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
Oh no, we're.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
Well, you gotta keep in mind if as the host.
I decide we're not gonna have rules. You know me,
I'll be the first person that goes for it. I'm
gonna do it. We're gonna have jello shots. I know
that's so classy. We'll do some jello shots. We'll do
some tequila shots. We'll do some shots.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
You know what I'm saying are the sneakers.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
They creep up on you. You don't know what's happening,
and then all of a sudden, bad things.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
You know what if I was taught at an early age,
if it jiggles, it's bad. It's bad for you, jiggling
things that jiggle. A question from Scary, Yes, what.

Speaker 7 (23:53):
I understand this restaurant has an extensive uh tequila program?

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yes it does.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
So my question is, are there limitations to the repisodo
that I drink? O?

Speaker 6 (24:04):
Wow, trying to bankrupt you already?

Speaker 10 (24:07):
Well?

Speaker 7 (24:07):
No, I just I'm just saying I like a good
sipping tequila.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
I don't like to bang back shots. I'm not.

Speaker 7 (24:13):
I don't throw back shots. I like to sip it
with a nice big cube.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Okay, Scary, Yeah, if you don't think I can afford
your Repisodo, then I don't know. Maybe I'm going to
let you down.

Speaker 7 (24:25):
I just didn't know if they were like, you know,
because I don't want to go for the expensive stuff.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
I'm like that you just said you bring it, then
it's disrespect. Okay, what tequila are you talking about? What
are you talking about? I don't know that because they're
you know, with what you just said, there's a specific
Didn't you just say that the best tequila is are
in small batch and are the ones that I have
not discovered yet. No, okay, No, you just basically said

(24:51):
you have a tequila you like a repisodo and you
don't know if you want to break the banquet it.
Didn't you just say that are usually the ones that
I prefer happened to be the more expensive ones.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
So if I see an expensive one, I want to
try it because I think it tastes better.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
So you're saying you want to take a look and
make sure that you get the most expensive one that
you may not have heard of yet, but when you
see it, you'll know.

Speaker 7 (25:10):
That's why I want to know way the price threshold was,
and I will pick one based on this.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
There is no price threshold, And is that rude to
ask a host if there's a price threshold.

Speaker 9 (25:18):
Thank god, hey, are you given.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Us the cheap stack?

Speaker 4 (25:22):
I see what he's saying to Elvis.

Speaker 12 (25:24):
He could get a glass that could be legitimately a
thousand dollars crazy, and would you be okay with that?

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Okay? Well, okay, I know, I know the tequila list
at this at this hotel, at this restaurant. There is
no thousand dollars shot in a poor even neat. No,
you're fine, You're fine.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
Wait, can I ask a question?

Speaker 10 (25:42):
No?

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah, well why are we even talking about it?

Speaker 10 (25:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
That question's for scary. Scary.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
If you knew that it was an eight thousand dollars shot,
would you be okay?

Speaker 6 (25:50):
Just being like, yeah, load me up?

Speaker 7 (25:51):
I would not be okay, but I'd be curious. I'm like,
what's in that bottle that's worth that much? Because I
get you know, I'm curious.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
That's all. Okay. Let's put it this way. Come to
the party and have a good time, but don't go
there because it's You're like Charlie at the Willie Wonka factory.
You know, Let's go lick the wallpaper because we can no.

Speaker 9 (26:11):
Just Danielle so the next day.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
I'm just saying, we're flying, so if we get really drunk,
we might have really bad hangovers. So we gotta be
a little careful. This is the mom and me a
little careful.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Maybe, well we're day drinking, so it helps a little bit.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, yeah, I guess if someone doesn't get allowed to fly,
if someone's like not allowed because of it, I will
die out.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Scary, should we move? Should we move all of our
our seats over to Frontier or you know what I'm saying,
We should we go to the airline that expects us
to be out of our minds. Let's go? Uh yeah, scary,
just show up and have a good time, you know,

(26:54):
you know, someone just send a text and I agree.
You know, pretend you're at the Jersey Shore. Just order
whatever they have, a perfect you know exactly, you're a show.
I want top shelf. Well, in our place, we only
have a shelf, just a shelf. You're such a you
really are a boogie boy. You really are so anyway
other than that, no rules, If you order whatever you want, Scary,

(27:17):
I don't care, you know, no problem. I'm not going
to break the bank on you. We never do that. Yeah,
I don't know, you know what he's I don't know,
challenge on scary. Let's see if you can break my bank.

Speaker 9 (27:31):
It is a challenge now scared, But.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
Also keep in mind, you know, you know, I know
that sometimes you know you're in bonuses coming around. I'm
sure that can be deducted. Daddy gets the last laugh
every time. No, no, no, not at all. Anyway, I'm excited.
I you know, how many of you on the show

(27:54):
have friends or someone in your family that you know
once the holiday rolls around, they don't get anywhere near
as excited as you, and for different reasons. I was
having lunch with a friend yesterday and he apparently had
a lot of traumatic bs happened when he was a
kid around the holidays, and so the holidays still to
him are just a painful, painful time.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, you know, my dad passed away in November, right,
so it is been the smack dab in the middle
of the holiday season for me. But I always think
about it like this. Dad knew how much I love
the holidays. I know how much he loved Christmas, and
he wouldn't want me to not enjoy it. So I
try to kind of enjoy it. Even more for you.

Speaker 9 (28:35):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 10 (28:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:36):
It is new meaning, you know. But you know, if
you're surrounded by people who are just like, oh, it's okay,
well should we decorate? Nah, I'm not into it. What
about you? But what about you? What do you what
if you want to dive into the holidays and have
twinkly lights and things, you know it all right? Just wondering.

(28:58):
So if you are someone who just not like the holidays,
you don't. I mean, let's be honest. It can be
a pain in the ass because there's a lot of
stuff to get done. The lists of things to do
are longer and longer, and I get that.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
And financially for a lot of people, it's really tough.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Oh yeah, absolutely, especially if you have Scary working for
you and he's ordering tequilas. I liked his text her.
You guys are so mean to Scary. He's trying to
be polite. He just struggles with articulation.

Speaker 6 (29:24):
You should keep that in mind.

Speaker 9 (29:25):
Oh we know that he.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Just can't explain himself anyway. But yeah, the holidays they
rolled around and I miss my mom. I miss you know,
she was the Queen of Christmas. She really was. She
overdid everything. I mean she was like Danielle was for Halloween.
My mom overdid everything because it was just her time
to have her kids together in the tree up and

(29:48):
all the same decorations she decorated. She decorated our house
for the same decorations for fifty thousand years. I'm like,
good God, man, go by new decorations. No, they probably used.
Does your mom do the same thing?

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yeah, my mom does the same thing. Yeah, and she
has the same decorations. But I love it, and it
takes so much effort, and I know that she's just
doing it for us because she wants us to come
home and feel like, oh, this is so nice. And
I appreciate my parents more every single year for all
the things that they did for us that you didn't
really pay attention to when you were a kid.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Well, I have found that my favorite moments during the
holidays are when I'm sitting by myself with music on
and the tree on and just having a glass of wine,
hanging out with the dogs. I really those are those
calm moments because it is it is a season of craziness,

(30:37):
you know, all this energy. It is, like I say,
sitting in an electric chair for a month, especially when
you have concerts to go to. You got to fly
to cities and this and that whatever, or just you know,
you have to catch up with your your family and
you have to make sure the plans are there and
the sheets are clean when they visit. And there's a
lot to do. I get that, but make sure you
find those moments just just you. Don't you love those?
Yeaes are yeah?

Speaker 10 (30:57):
Great?

Speaker 4 (30:58):
I love that? All right? Think about what song you
want to play, Danielle. You're the Christmas Music director the CMD.
Oh ye, you have something right there?

Speaker 9 (31:08):
To go have something.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
We'll find out what it is.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Waking out in the morning.

Speaker 13 (31:12):
Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. Elvis Duran in the
Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
Oh, Danielle, I'm with you. If you're gonna throw a party,
do not have a butterboard?

Speaker 9 (31:24):
Oh my gosh, this was ar Did.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
You run into one of these over the weekends.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
So we were celebrating my aunt adrian seventy fifth birthday. Right,
So we're all there at the table and there's a
butter board there but looked like cheese and there was
no bread.

Speaker 9 (31:40):
I'm telling you now, there was not one piece of
bread on the table.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
So what are you supposed to do with it?

Speaker 10 (31:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
So we're starving, so we sit there. My brother looks
at it and he's like, oh geez. So he starts
eating it and then he's like, oh, this is not jeez,
it was butter. He had a glava butter in his
mouth because he thought it was just so off.

Speaker 9 (32:00):
Cheese that he cut it was not good. It was disgusting.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
But it's not our fault.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Where the hell was the bread? How is fun?

Speaker 10 (32:07):
I know?

Speaker 5 (32:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (32:07):
What are you supposed to do with the butterboard? I
mean a lot of people swear about them, like, oh yeah, butterboard.
He's put butter on the board and just drag crap
through it and eat it. Drag but you know, well
you could find a way to drag something in there
and whatever it is people's fingers are dragging through there
is my problem. It just doesn't look very I don't

(32:28):
know clean. Is it just me? I mean? Please feel
free to text us at fifty five one hundred tellus
otherwise or send us you know what, talk about the
butter board on your talkback feature on your iHeartRadio app.
I want to hear what you think about butterboards.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
There's another problem with the butter board too, is it's
butter and you're at a party just eating butter. How
do you think that works out later?

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Not well, bubbly bubbly butter. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (32:51):
Nate Andrew, who is on his way in right now,
was so excited. There's a restaurant very close to where
we're at right now that has a butter board. He
made a point that we go there for the butterboard.
We have it, it was delicious. We leave, he texts me.
He goes, I'm in agony. I'm not gonna make it home.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
You can't trust the butter board.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
But what I don't understand is that butterboard at least
had stuff you could drag through the butter.

Speaker 9 (33:17):
This butter board had nothing.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
It was just butter, just sitting out there doing.

Speaker 9 (33:21):
Sitting there and and the guy. The guy came over,
the waiter came over, and I explained what happened. I go,
I just want you to know my brother just say this.
He goes, oh, that's not the first time. Well, then
don't you think you should put some bread or something?

Speaker 6 (33:33):
Is it decorative?

Speaker 2 (33:34):
No?

Speaker 9 (33:34):
It was just three pieces look like cheese.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
I don't know there had been something at one point
you can put through your butter. I don't know, so
butter boards. Yeah, your name, hard name. I enjoy it.

Speaker 12 (33:45):
I really enjoyed it. There's a little salt to drizzle
on stuff.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
Butter Restaurant near the studios.

Speaker 6 (33:58):
Yes, he's obsessed.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
A really quality.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
It has these little jerkin pickles that are really good.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Honey, Danielle. There's a big difference between jerkin pickles and
girkin pickles, if you know what I'm saying. There are
better ways to claud and I'm going for those other ways.
Oh wow, okay, you do that.

Speaker 9 (34:23):
I'm surprised you turn down a butter boiler.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
It's kind of funny that Gandhi was talking about a
story she read yesterday online about people who are self
you know, checking out self scanning at the end at
the grocery store, right like I do all the time.
It's my favorite thing because you know, I don't like people.
I just want to go there and be my best
self and scanningly. And in the story it says you

(34:49):
are more likely to steal and cheat self checkout if
you have more money. Rich people do it more than
non rich people. Rich people didn't explain why they found
this to be true.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, they said, well, they believe that it's because to
a person, I think it was once you start making
over one hundred thousand dollars a year, you're more likely
to steal from the checkout because they say that people
who make that kind of money are doing calculations in
their head and percentage wise, it's not that big of
a deal. So if you make a ton of money
and you steal a twenty five dollars steak, you don't
really think you're doing anything that bad because like, oh,

(35:21):
twenty five dollars to me, nothing whatever, I can take it.
Whereas if you make less money, you think, well, this
is a really expensive steak.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
I probably shouldn't do that. So huh. Rich people are
amorl apparently.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Wow, Well look, I am such a pro at self checkout.
I used to be really bad at it, awkward because
you know, if you move the thing from the right
side to the left side, it's like, what are you doing?
Why is there something in you in your checkout area?
What do you got to take that out of there?
There's what? Now I have mastered it. As a matter
of fact, I go so fast. You don't have to

(35:51):
wait till it goes cheez forwenty five cents and then
putting your other item up there, I just go, I
go boop boop. Yeah, you know it knows it's it's
faster than us.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
My favorite self checkout is the Coals because it reminds
me of when I played cash register when I was
a kid, and you know, you put like the clothes
and you were buying stuff and you pretended and you
get to take the security tags off on the little
magnetic thing.

Speaker 9 (36:15):
For some reason, I love doing that. I think it's
the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
So I love when they have the self checkout at
places like Coals because you steal.

Speaker 9 (36:22):
No, I don't steal. I do not steal. I do
not steal.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
What's my favorite clothing store. It's the Asian Clothing store
at the mall and they have just yes, I have
unic clothes there. You just kind of throw it and
you just throw the item in a box and it
just it knows it's there. It scans it for you. You
don't have to put this, you don't have to put
the code up to the camera.

Speaker 9 (36:45):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
You just buy stuff you don't want just because you
like to throw crap in a box in it anyway.
So I'm so great at self checkout and I never
want to cheat it ever. But they look at me like, sir.
They can they can judge me, sir, you're going way
too fast. Slow down, And I can feel them thinking that.
I challenge them. After I check out and pay, I

(37:06):
challenged them to come over and go, sir, we would
like to audit what you just checked out. Has anyone
ever done that to you in a grocery store?

Speaker 3 (37:13):
Happened to me at home depot what they do. I
bought a bunch of stuff for plants. So I bought
a bunch of seed packets, and the guy at the
front stopped me and was looking at the receipt for
every single seed packet, crossing it off with a pen.
And some other guy watched by and ghosts, you're only
doing it because she's brown. I steal from you guys
all the time.

Speaker 9 (37:36):
And he kept them walk to that guy, but also
I love him, Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
So what did they end up doing.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
I didn't steal anything, so they had to let me go.
He didn't have anything. He probably was stealing at the moment.
He just kept going.

Speaker 10 (37:48):
God.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
Well.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
I do challenge them though, because I know I'm accurate.
If you want to audit my grocery store self check
out and it comes up clean, you have to pay
for my gh as. Scotty Be. Scotty Bee is a
pro at the grocery store.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
I did Scott steals.

Speaker 10 (38:05):
No.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
I never do.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
No.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
He would never do that because that's not efficient. You know,
it's really efficient.

Speaker 8 (38:10):
At my store. If you go too fast, it'll freeze it.
Someone has to come over and review the video of
you putting stuff. That's on the other that's right, Yeah, on.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
The other side. They review a video.

Speaker 8 (38:20):
It records you as you're scanning things and putting it
onto the bagging side.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
It thinks that you put something you didn't put something
in that you didn't scan, or you put something that
you didn't scan.

Speaker 9 (38:29):
That calls somebody over right away.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
I get flagged for that all the time because I
leave my purse in the little like the kiddy area,
and then it'll say neat assistance and they come over.

Speaker 6 (38:38):
It's your purse.

Speaker 8 (38:39):
But I tell you I haven't used the cash here
in years. I always do self check but you.

Speaker 9 (38:42):
But sometimes they don't let you over a certain amount
of ideas.

Speaker 8 (38:45):
I don't care. I go anyway.

Speaker 6 (38:46):
Oh you're that guy.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
God, you're that guy? Oh Scottie. Yeah, No, I don't know.
You know, if if I see a cashier open, I'll
go there. I love you know, little interaction. Someone sends
us we're back to the butter board thing. Other people
are texting what the hell is a butter board? You
know what? Do a Google on that and find out
on your own. It's whatever. Anyway, we have a talkback
from Jen.

Speaker 15 (39:07):
The only thing grosser than a butterboard is the sticky
frosting board.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
It is gooey and gross and disgusting, sticky, laky finger.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
Bab God, you know this is where buffets. This kind
of turned me off a little bit. All Right, it's
your turn, Danielle. You're up about what song do you
want to hear?

Speaker 10 (39:28):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (39:28):
We're gonna do the Jonahs brothers and Jimmy Fallon. It's
called Holiday.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
Oh you know who else is in there? Hell ll
cool Jay? Hello, scary hold On, got it for you?
Look at that. There you go, Danielle Holliday, Jimmy Fallon,
Jonah's brothers, and ELLL Cooljay. You know what you're doing
a great job as a Christmas music director.

Speaker 10 (39:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (39:49):
I love doing this. It's so much fun.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
All right, think about what's next, because we're gonna do
another one in a minute. We have to have them ready,
we have to have them locked in.

Speaker 9 (39:56):
All right.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
Let's get into the three things we need to know
from Gandhi and get on with our day. What's going on, Gandi?
What do you got?

Speaker 6 (40:03):
So much is happening?

Speaker 3 (40:04):
A dozen former FBI agents are suing after they were
fired in connection with their decision to kneel during a
twenty twenty protest following the death.

Speaker 6 (40:11):
Of George Floyd.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
They filed suit against FBI Director Cash Pattel and Attorney
General Pambondi on Monday. The defendants were all cleared of
any wrongdoing after it was determined they'd had avoided triggering
violence by assuming a kneeling posture associated with de escalations
between law enforcement officers and their communities. The suit alleges
the First and Fifth Amendment rights were violated when Patel

(40:33):
came on board and oversaw their unlawful terminations. Winter weather
continues to affect millions across the country. Temperatures have dipped
below freezing throughout parts of the Midwest and the northeast.
Yesterday was the coldest day we've had here in.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
A long term.

Speaker 9 (40:47):
It was so we all felt it right, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Over twelve million people from eastern Kentucky to northern North
Carolina are under various weather alerts today. Some schools in
Virginia and North Carolina are either closed or on delays
today because of snow and treacherous travel conditions. Additional snowfall
is expected in North Dakota today during the morning, before
shifting towards the Great Lakes region and then possibly heading

(41:11):
our way in the northeast. And finally, the powerball jackpot
is rolling over again, coming closer to the billion dollar
mark with no grand prize winner and Monday night strawing
that means at least nine hundred and thirty million bucks
will be on the line the next time the numbers
are drawn tomorrow. The odds of hitting the jackpot, we know,
are roughly one in two hundred and ninety two million.

First of all, let's talk to Michael. Michael's on his
way into New York City today. He's gonna pick up
his friend Stacy. What you and Stacy come into the
city every year or every couple of months just to
kind of play and have fun.

Speaker 5 (48:51):
What do you do? Yeah, we come in every couple
of weeks here. It's just to come up and you know,
have fun in the city. We've been to MSG a
couple of times this year for some concerts, but we've
never done the Christmas stuff. So we're coming up for
the Christmas touristy stuff today.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
So wait, you're so you're picking up Stacey. Now you're
gonna hit the one of the tunnels or the bridge.
How are you coming into the city? Where are you
coming from?

Speaker 5 (49:13):
So if we're staying in the city, we'll drive right
into the city. But if we're only coming up for
the day trip, we'll actually drive to New Jersey and
then take the ferry across.

Speaker 9 (49:19):
The Hudson's very smart.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Look, if you don't listen, and you don't live here
in New York City or this area, didn't you understand
it's you need to understand it's a process. Oh yeah,
it's a process. How fun though, I wish I was
with you guys to have some fun in the city today.
This is gonna be a great day. It's cold, it's cold,
it's very cool.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
We got lots of handwarmers and stuff like that. But
we're excited. We're gonna hit up Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park,
and then maybe some Canal Street.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
Oh you're doing it all right, Look at Canal Street. Now,
keep in mind when you buy that fake stuff on
Canal Street, that's you're like Danielle. Danielle loves that fake stuff.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
Yeah, just love me.

Speaker 6 (49:59):
Thousands of dollars versus fifty.

Speaker 9 (50:02):
It's great.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
Around.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
I'm sorry, hold on, hold on, what's that, Froggy what?

Speaker 17 (50:08):
It's hilarious to go with Danielle to one of those
places and hear her bargain with them. It's pretty funny.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
I don't trust you know, I don't trust those people all. Now.
What were you saying, Michael?

Speaker 5 (50:20):
I said, I'm hoping I can see everybody scurry like
I've seen on TikTok once the police come around, I want.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
Okay. So yeah, if you're wondering what he's talking about.
On Canal Street, not far from where my apartment's located.

Speaker 10 (50:32):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
I mean they come by the millions, bringing purses, bags
and sunglasses and colognes and watches and and they're all fake.
They're all counterfeit. And so when the when the cops
show up, they do they run, like when you turn
the lights on and the cockroaches is run or the
water bugs whatever.

Speaker 14 (50:54):
I know.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
But Michael, you're even admitting you're taking part in something
that's so illegal, but you're like, okay, whatever, it's part
of New York City, let's do it.

Speaker 18 (51:02):
Wasna.

Speaker 5 (51:03):
It kind of adds to the trip of New York City,
like I do. I think you can see a lot
of illegal things going on me.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
Yeah, yeah, I know. I've been part of those some
things too. Hey, so when are you picking up Stacy
and bringing her in?

Speaker 5 (51:14):
I'm I'm picking her up in like fifteen minutes and
then we're gonna head in. It's I've talked to you
guys a few times. She's never talked to you guys,
and I was hoping to get on the phone with
you guys with her in the car, but I don't
have her quite yet.

Speaker 4 (51:25):
All right, well, do you want to hang on because
we have a lot of stuff we can do. Then
come back and check and see how you're doing. See
if she's in the car yet.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
Yep. Yeah, If you guys give me like fifteen minutes,
she'll freak out. I love it.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Follow up, let's freak out Stacy. I mean bringing her
into the city isn't enough to freak her out? No,
of course not. Uh all right, I tell you what.
Just hang on, hang on in Nton. We'll check back
with you and see how you're doing. Michael, Okay, all right,
talk to you guys a little bit.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
Hold on a second. Do you know a lot about
Christmas movies? I don't know.

Speaker 5 (51:56):
We can give it a go. So we're normally pretty
good with the music stuff, and we've always want to
try it together. But she'll never call in on her own.
She's too afraid.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Okay, I'm not worried about Stacy. I'm just wondering if
you and Stacy together can figure out Christmas movies if
we play some sound.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
Or we'll give it a go.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
Okay, good, because I think Gandhi you have a game
just for Michael and Stacy.

Speaker 6 (52:18):
Right, just for you guys. Yes, Christmas movies.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
Okay, hang on, We're gonna let the two of you
tan them up and see if you can figure these out.
It could be great, it could be a disaster. We'll
find out together. Hold on, Michael, hold on one second.
All right, I love this text that came through, you know,
because we're all here at iHeart, we're all about guaranteed human.
We don't want to play any AI. We don't want

(52:42):
to play any fake stuff. And so this person says,
guarantee human. Please not true. Ryan Seacrest is recorded, and
we know it. He's a human. But wait a minute,
hold on, are we sure Seacrest is a guaranteed human
to be there?

Speaker 6 (53:03):
We don't know.

Speaker 4 (53:07):
I don't know. Anyway, Diamond called the guaranteed human accuser
does not want to go in the air with us,
all right, perfect, Yeah, No, Seacrest is a human. He
can be recorded. Who knows. Maybe we're recorded now as well.
On this beautiful summer day, let's go, let's go round

(53:30):
the room exactly. We have fireworks tonight. Anyway, let's get
into the minds of people in the room. I'm going
to start with you, Producer Sam, what are you thinking
about today?

Speaker 14 (53:43):
Okay, So for anyone who's buying, I am selling. I
have acquired so much danielleman narrow foot content over the past.

Speaker 6 (53:50):
Like forty eight hours, and I think I could start
my own website.

Speaker 14 (53:53):
She shouldn't sending me all of these shoes that she
might be wearing for upcoming events.

Speaker 6 (53:57):
And I love it.

Speaker 14 (53:57):
But I just realized this is like qualities stuff. So
I'll split the profits with you, Danielle. I think that's
only right, you know, but reach out to me. I've
got some good stuff to sell you if you're into
that kind of thing.

Speaker 9 (54:07):
Some of them are fuzzy slippers.

Speaker 6 (54:09):
Yeah, those are in there as well. The cute sees.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
You know, you don't see all of his guys in
the show doing stuff like this.

Speaker 9 (54:15):
Now you're missing out.

Speaker 6 (54:17):
Listen. I think you guys can make quite a lot
of money for your feet.

Speaker 5 (54:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
The other thing, well, the thought of another guy's foot
in my shoe hole is not good. Not even a
flip flop. Nope, flip flops are the worst. Uh perfect Froggy,
my froggy, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 17 (54:36):
I just learned I grew up my entire life thinking
that well, let me ask you. Why do people say
bless you?

Speaker 5 (54:41):
Do you know?

Speaker 17 (54:42):
But what it's the reason behind.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
That, because I think when you sneeze, you're this close
to death.

Speaker 6 (54:46):
You stop, breathing, stops.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
Yeah, that's not true. What okay?

Speaker 5 (54:51):
What is the truth?

Speaker 17 (54:51):
I learned yesterday? They say that they say bless you
because when you sneeze, you're letting evil spirits out, and
they're blessing you for the spirit said, the evilness that's
come out. It has nothing to do with your heart stopping.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
Nothing. Okay, that is it? Yeah, that is not true.

Speaker 9 (55:06):
Who told you that?

Speaker 17 (55:08):
I read it online? Somebody told me yesterday. I went
and read it, and I was complain I lived my
whole life is a lie. My parents lied to me.
I believe anything and everything that you tell us, Froggy.
So that's where you went wrong the first time.

Speaker 4 (55:20):
But what about bless you? When someone says something stupid
and rather than saying f off, you go all bless you,
bless your heart.

Speaker 17 (55:28):
And by the way, I only say bless you two times.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
There's a there's a limit after two.

Speaker 17 (55:31):
You can see seventeen times. I'm done.

Speaker 4 (55:33):
You're done, all right? You got limits? Two?

Speaker 7 (55:35):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (55:36):
Nate, what's up with you today?

Speaker 12 (55:39):
Growing up, I thought coffee was coffee. I thought all
coffee was the same, and it all tasted the same,
like Folger's crystals. Exactly wrong. There is a different Once
you get a good coffee, and we have one that
we have here at the station, it is so much
more pleasurable to have a cup of coffee in the
morning and drink it lacked. Yes, And and that's how

(56:01):
I knew I grew up when I started to distinguish
between different coffees. That's a sign of sign of growing up,
right there, everybody.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
They get if someone puts the wrong beat in the machine.

Speaker 7 (56:14):
Bang, somebody jammed the whole bag of bad beans in
the machine.

Speaker 4 (56:19):
Beans very very picky about our beans. So you can
taste a difference. You can taste different acidity and stuff.
Stuff like that. You never would have thought of ten
years ago, five years ago. But now we've become coffee
sonod tape over it said, don't pour beans down this hole.
What I did is that funny. We took it off

(56:41):
the machine and we put it above his butt crack
and he's walking around with it all day anyway. Hey,
what's up with you? Today, Kandhi.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
All right, it's that time of the year where we
have to figure out who all we're giving gifts to.
You know, if you have door people, if you have
people in the building, is it tacky. Let's say we
have six dorman downstairs. If I just buy a gift
basket and give it to all of them, like hey, guys, marriage.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
To share it?

Speaker 4 (57:05):
No, nothing, that's very nice.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
It's very nice, Okay, because I think that's what I'm
gonna have to do because I don't know all of them,
and I don't you know, I don't want to be
a jerk.

Speaker 6 (57:12):
And give people different amounts. So I just figured, no,
I'll do that. But I didn't know if it was
going to be.

Speaker 10 (57:16):
No.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
Anything that says I'm thinking about you is a gift
and it's wonderful.

Speaker 6 (57:21):
You're doing great, perfect done, gift basket.

Speaker 4 (57:23):
You're done, Danielle, what's up?

Speaker 1 (57:25):
So yesterday I was at Whole Foods doing the Amazon return.
The lady that was finishing her shift realized that the
next person did not come and take over for her,
but she had to leave, so she left with this
line all the way down the Whole Foods and the
sign now said this location is closed.

Speaker 9 (57:48):
You need to use the machine.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
And now you know there's one return machine usually in
each place, and it takes like five to ten minutes
to put your stuff in the bag, put the label
on the bag. When I tell you, was mass chaos
at the Whole Food Tips today because.

Speaker 9 (58:02):
Of the Amazon issues.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
It was crazy.

Speaker 6 (58:05):
People were so upset.

Speaker 9 (58:06):
They were going behind the counter trying to grab bags.

Speaker 4 (58:10):
Oh my god, they were like, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (58:12):
They were cutting the lines. People were like, I'm on line.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
They were chipping in, they were they wanted to chip
in and help out. Oh.

Speaker 9 (58:17):
It was nuts. It was nuts. I don't know when
it got you know, calm last night. But who don't
mess with Amazon returns?

Speaker 4 (58:23):
People do not, Okay, gotcha? Yeah? Okay yeah. And if
someone has to go and there's someone there to cover
a shift, they should have just lock the doors, just
go get out of here.

Speaker 9 (58:32):
They should have they should have.

Speaker 4 (58:33):
Hey, producer, sand what's up?

Speaker 6 (58:35):

Well, yes, okay, so there's a round the room everyone
you know.

a step further, and I dry clean my T shirts too,
because I don't want them to get ruined. The only
thing I'll tell in the washing fold is sheets and towels.
Everything else gets dry cleaned. And I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (59:11):

want to get ruined.

Let's see if he's picked up Stacy. Ye, he's getting
ready to play his Christmas movie game. How close to
Stacy are you, Michael?

Speaker 5 (01:00:28):
I'm like tennis minutes out or not. I don't have
her just quite yet.

Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
Oh my god, can you drive really fast?

Speaker 10 (01:00:34):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
No, I'm doing ninety three and a seventy.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
I'm oh my god, don't do that. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:00:42):
I will not take responsibility for you wrapping your truck
or your car around a light pole. So take your
time and we can always call you back. You know,
we will save the game for you. How about that?
We will not play without you and Stacey. I promise, ye.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
Hold good, I'm almost there, like ten minutes out.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
Okay, please hold okay. I know he said he was
fifteen minutes out, but that was like eight minutes ago.

Speaker 6 (01:01:02):
That guy's a half hour away. I know this guy.

Speaker 4 (01:01:05):
He's one of those. Don't you have a friend who
does that? He says, I'll be there in three minutes.
I'm three minutes away and you find out they haven't
even left the house yet.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
It's like the two minute warning in a football game.
Drives me absolutely insane.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
Yeah, we know better.

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
The friends I have that I don't trust. I'm like cool,
drop me a pin. And when they don't drop the pin,
I just.

Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
Leave and you know that floor crap? All right, Danielle
listen to the Danielle Report as we wait for Michael
to pick up Stacy. Okay, so wait, hold on, let
make st your music here. Okay, there you go. What
do you gotta going on? Danielle?

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
All right, Carries All I Want for Christmas is you
has returned to number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred,
tying the all time record for the longest running chart topper,
as it makes his way nineteenth week at the top,
So congratulations, and we all know Mariah is making.

Speaker 9 (01:01:54):
The bank from that song, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Leonardo DiCaprio has been named Entertainer of the Year by Time,
and he tells the magazine how he balances his fame
with his privacy. He says, it's been a balance that
I've been managing my whole adult life. And I'm not
an expert, but I think my simple philosophy is only
get out there and do something when you have something
to say or you have something to show for it. Otherwise,

(01:02:18):
just disappear as much as you possibly can. So he
also says he doesn't want people to get sick and
tired of him, so that's another reason why he doesn't oversaturate.

Speaker 9 (01:02:26):
Which kind of makes sense, you know, all right? Not
every Christmas song is a hit.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
I don't even know where this list came from, but
it is the worst country at worst worst Christmas songs.
So I'm gonna give you the top five worst. You
tell me if you agree. I saw Mommy Kissing Santa
Claus by the Jackson five nor Yeah, I don't like it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
I don't like it.

Speaker 10 (01:02:49):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Christmas Shoes is on this terrible. I all, I hate
that one wonderful Christmas time, Paul McCartney.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
I love that song.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
Actually that's the song.

Speaker 9 (01:02:58):
We play tomorrow morning.

Speaker 4 (01:03:00):
No, no, you know we have veto power to money.
Don't pay that.

Speaker 10 (01:03:04):
Do they know?

Speaker 9 (01:03:05):
It's Christmas band aid? Hey gone awful?

Speaker 6 (01:03:08):

Speaker 9 (01:03:08):
But number one the Chipmunk Christmas song Christmas La.

Speaker 15 (01:03:14):
Fi.

Speaker 9 (01:03:15):
Okay, so you guys kind of agree with these.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
Chapel Roone just signed a deal as the new face
of Mac Cosmetics, and she's so excited because she's been
wearing Mac even before she was a star. She said,
it feels like it's full circle. It's always made space
for people like me since day one. They've embraced art, queerness,
drag and self expression. And I've built a special relationship
with the Mac team over the years and they've been

(01:03:39):
amazing and thoughtful collaborators on my new journey and her
ads will go worldwide early next year. One in five
concert tickets sold over social media were fake in twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 9 (01:03:50):
We've got to be careful.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
A report estimated that the hackers scammed more than five
billion dollars from followers of entertainers. Either they impersonated the
celebrity or they ghosted the buyer. This is happening more
and more, They're saying, Sabrina Carpenter, Fans, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish,
Black Pink, bts Ed, Charon all had issues. So please

(01:04:13):
be careful because it is gonna get worse next year.

Speaker 10 (01:04:16):
And you know that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
And Joe Jonas can laugh at himself. He was trying
to parallel park and somebody saw him and it was
so cute. It's got like ten million views this thing
that she posted on TikTok. He was trying to maneuver
his Mercedes g Wagon and the caption for the twenty
second clip says, I love New York. I've been watching
Joe Jonas parallel park for the past seven minutes.

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
And then they were sitting in a coffee shop or something,
just recording him outside the window in his g Wagon.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
And then Joe commented back and said, and I saw
you watch and not help. Once he can laugh at.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
Himself, Well, the problem isn't scary, will tell you, because
he is a g Wagon as well. Parallel parking is
a bit for those things because you have that big
wheel on the back door too.

Speaker 10 (01:04:57):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
Scary because when you're parking in front of your dry
can get your T shirts clean. I don't have a
GA wagon, you can afford one. If you're stuck, try
cleaning your stupid T shirt.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):

to be from Danielle, our Christmas music director. Ok, we'll
get to that. Thanks for hanging over the reins. I
know that that made you a little nervous.

Nervous.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
All right, Let's check him with Michael and see if
he's picked up Stacy yet. But yes or no, doesn't matter.
We're gonna stay with him no matter what.

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):

Speaker 5 (01:08:39):
We like it.

thing on our show. When our show runs off the rails,
we are at our finest. All right, well, hang on,
we'll do that in just a second. Okay, don't go away.
You should we do three things real quick. I think

mom or something. Okay, let's get into the three things

(01:09:00):
we need to know. And uh, we're having a good show.
I don't care for our own time or not. We're good,
all right? What's up there? Gandhi.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
Luigi Mangioni's pre trial hearing in New York City is
entering day five of testimony today. On Monday, his defense
lawyers claimed that police in Pennsylvania made up a story
about a possible bomb as a reason to search his
backpack without a warrant. Police say they found Mangioni's manifesto
and the weapon used to murder United Healthcare CEO Brian
Thompson inside that bag.

Speaker 4 (01:09:25):
Now hold on, yes, it was wrapped up in wet underwear.

Speaker 6 (01:09:28):
Underwear is very important. Apparently in this search it was
wrapped in there.

Speaker 4 (01:09:32):
Back to you.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
Mangione's team wants the gun and all evidence found in
that backpack excluded from the upcoming murder trial, saying that
authorities did not have the legal right to go through
the backpack in the first place. We've been kind of
talking about this story, and now the self driving car
company Weaimo is pumping the brakes on their robotaxis in Austin, Texas.

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
I love Weaimo stories.

Speaker 6 (01:09:52):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 4 (01:09:52):
We get one every day every day.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
This is happening after reports that the driverless cars were
illegally passing school buses that had stopped let students out.

Speaker 9 (01:10:01):
The Austin School.

Speaker 3 (01:10:02):
District says there have been nearly two dozen incidents this
school year. Kids going to cross the road and AWAYMOCR
just right by them. The move comes just weeks after
the company announced plans to expand into Dallas, Houston, and
San Antonio.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
As stupid as waymocrs are. I bet they can parallel
park faster than Joe Jonas.

Speaker 5 (01:10:21):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
And finally, the most popular Christmas movie in America is
being revealed.

Speaker 6 (01:10:27):

Lampoon's Christmas Vacation came out on top as a favorite

Now a lot of people do argue the same point,

(01:22:06):
and you're not alone. You're not alone with that. So
Rob Shooter is here. You know, Rob, you always come
in here and talk about all of our favorite celebrities,
and some celebrities we don't really give a wretch ask about,
but by at the same time, we love to talk
about what's going on behind the scenes and what the
truth is behind some of these stories. But also you've
taken all of your experience in the entertainment world and

(01:22:28):
more and you've come up with this book. It's not
out till April, but pre sale is going on now
you guys, do you want need Rob to tell you
in his words what his book is all about, because
everyone's gonna want to coll It's really exciting. Thank you
so much.

Speaker 18 (01:22:41):
It's the first time I've done a novel, and so
I was over the pandemic since and around Lendring got
to do. And I have all these amazing stories about
celebrity and fame and all this stuff, and I started
to just write a little bit, and before ding this,
I crafted this novel. It's based on fullaracters. It's for
ambitious people in the entertainment business who end up getting

(01:23:05):
a morning show. They get a morning show on a
struggling cable network, and each day they reveal secrets about celebrities,
about glamorous people.

Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
However, what we find out.

Speaker 18 (01:23:16):
Very quickly is the real secrets are about themselves. All
four of them have a secret. So it's a story
about friendship, it's a story about gossip. It's a story
about where you work. And often we're thrown into places
where we work where we might not pick the person
next to us. I'm looking around the room thinking I'd
pick everyone, but there are instances where you don't sort

(01:23:38):
of get along in this conflict, and so it's sort
of a workplace drama based in this delicious world that
I know better than anybody, which is celebrity and celebrity gossip.

Speaker 4 (01:23:47):
Okay, I'll tell you I used to read all the
books from Jackie Klins. This was years ago. I don't
know if you're familiar with Jackie Collins. She used to
put these incredible novels out. They were of fiction, but
all of the characters, always based in Hollywood, were based
on real life celebrities, real life stars, and you had
to sort of guess who they were. Is there a

(01:24:11):
little or a lot of vet in this book, because
that's that guessing game is my Favorite's.

Speaker 18 (01:24:14):
Delicious, isn't it. I'm a huge fan of Jackie Collins.
One of the people that have read the book early
so I can get a quote on the cover said
that I am the Jackie Collins of our generation.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
And it's the most flattery clothes I know. I know,
I'll take it.

Speaker 18 (01:24:30):
And so yes, obviously, you you base stories on people
you know, on your own life. People that are musicians,
they do the same, and so there is a lot
of people there who are going to seem very familiar
guessing games. Well, I think if you just look at
my life and who I've worked with, it's quite it's

(01:24:50):
quite clear who some of these celebrities are. But think
Jenny might be in there. I think there might be
a little touch of a character like Alisha and Diddy.
So there's lots of fun guessing games. It's almost like
a blind item, isn't it when you read the book.
But I think what's going to be really interesting about
this is I'm going to introduce you to characters within
our business that we all know, but you don't chet

(01:25:11):
in a way that we didn't know Miranda Priestley in
The Devil Wears Prada until that movie. That book became
a huge hit. So I have a boss from hell
at one point that I really did have in my career,
and they're in it. I've also worked with other gossip
columnist reporters, and let's remember I had my own show
for four years on VH one, So it really is

(01:25:33):
that sort of experience. While I was doing that show,
that morning show with three other gossip reporters, I kept
a diary and just it made me laugh. Like I
remember once they sent me to get Boatox and I
was so flattered that I was going to get free boatox.
It was under my armpits because I was a sweaty devil, so.

Speaker 10 (01:25:51):
I did.

Speaker 4 (01:25:53):
Think about it. I was glorious. I remember sweaty rat.
That was a sweaty, sweaty devil. It's funny little story,
so it really is.

Speaker 18 (01:26:02):
I think back to the movie Titanic and James Cameron said,
that is Romeo and Juliet set on a boat.

Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
This is the story of working girl.

Speaker 18 (01:26:13):
This is like a set in the city type story
about friendship, but he's set in the world of celebrity gossip.

Speaker 4 (01:26:20):
I'm going to go ahead and roll the dice on
this and I'm gonna place my bets. I bet you
this thing will be picked up and it will be
a motion picture. It will be so much I truly
believe it will be. Because you know, these celebrities, a
lot of them are on trial as we speak, but
in one way or another. You know these celebrities in
and out, and so it's one thing to hear all

(01:26:41):
of the reports we hear from reporters about these celebrities
and they're goings on this here and there. But it's
another thing to actually get a slice of what they're
like in the background, like waking up in the morning,
walking downder their kitchens and pouring coffee and having a
conversation with their manager.

Speaker 5 (01:26:56):
This and that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:56):
You're gonna I bet you get a lot of that
in this book. It's out in April. April April. Yeah,
thank you so much. It's really important to get pre orders.
That's why I'm doing it so early. It seems odd
to be out here pushing your book that isn't act
for a couple of months. But if you bite now
then you'll forget about it, and in April it'll be
a lovely surprise.

Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:27:14):
And if you bite not helps me with pre orders.
So thank you so much. Okay, I'm gonna order another one.
I've ordered three already. It's Rob Shooter. It's called it
started with a whisper. All right, Now, do you have
other stuff you want to talk about, because I'd love
to take a break and come back and talk to
her and more with Rob Shooter all the way.

Speaker 10 (01:27:31):
Hello.

Speaker 13 (01:27:32):

Verry gonna do that day? Anyway? You know it's like

Speaker 5 (01:28:22):
I hear that song?

Speaker 4 (01:28:23):
Where are by the way, the pre order is going
on now. It started with a whisper lovely. I can't
I cannot wait for it to turn into a movie
because I know it will. Oh, it's so exciting. It's
time for a ask a gossip columnist? Yes, the music
for a scary Hold on, let me let me get look.

(01:28:44):
You know, we we've we've done. Ask a gay, Ask
a black man, Ask an Indian woman? Uh? Ask to
ask a Guido starring Danielle remember that. Now it should
be asking do you consider yourself a gossip columnist? A
proud a proud one. It's like an AA meeting. I
have to say it out loud every day. And now
it's time for ask a gossip columns. Think about your question.

(01:29:06):
I know that Nate is teeming with questions. Yes, turn
the music, Yeah you have one, go right ahead.

Speaker 12 (01:29:12):
Have you ever had a story that came to you
about a person who then called you and asked to
not publish that story?

Speaker 10 (01:29:21):
Yes?

Speaker 18 (01:29:21):
Absolutely, And it's funny because if you pre order it
started with a wisp.

Speaker 4 (01:29:27):
No, I have had that happened. It happened a couple
of weeks.

Speaker 18 (01:29:30):
Ago where I found out a celebrity, a big celebrity,
was working with her boyfriend on a project that the
boyfriend was probably not qualified to be part of. So
what I was implying, or pretty much saying, is that
he got the job because of who he was sleeping with,
who he was dating. Now, the celebrity was very very

(01:29:53):
sensitive about this, and it's a new relationship. They don't
want me to mess it up. They told me how
dificult it is to find a guy if you were
as famous as this person is. And do you know
what your friend Rob Shooter did what I canceled the story.
But you'll know the celebrities. You'll see me sit in

(01:30:15):
front row at their concerts, with backstage.

Speaker 4 (01:30:20):
Dinner at their house. Week at their house. I get
a question for as a columnist, hold on, now it's fair.
Have you ever found there was a story circulating about
to go to prempt that was not true and it
was hurtful, and you had the power induced to go
in and have the story shut down.

Speaker 18 (01:30:42):
Absolutely. In fact, I think today on my substack there's
that story. I lead today with a story that there
was a rumor that Taylor Swift paid a lot of
money to steal another bride's wedding and another date. And
my people are saying she just would not do it,
and so that I know, like there's still some sort
of like debate, but I believe this and that the

(01:31:02):
people I spoke to said that there's no way she
would book a venue six months in advance, to tell
the paparazzi, to tell the fans, to tell everybody. It
just when she gets married. We're going to find out
the day off. It's just the way she operates. If
she can keep an album a secret until she drops it,
she's going to keep this wedding your secret. So I

(01:31:22):
didn't like that story. I did not like the story
out there floating the Taylor was a mean girl that
broke girl code. And it's such a weird, nasty thing
to do. If I've booked a wedding date and I
get pushed out of the venue from fast, if you put.

Speaker 9 (01:31:35):
Pay me a million dollars to take my wedding date,
you're good.

Speaker 6 (01:31:38):
Yeah, there's nothing meanail that means the.

Speaker 4 (01:31:40):
Money went though to the bride or the venue.

Speaker 5 (01:31:43):
See.

Speaker 4 (01:31:43):
I think they were saying they paid the venue to
cancel it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:31:50):
Have you ever put a story out there and then
later on regretted date?

Speaker 4 (01:31:55):
Yes, so many.

Speaker 18 (01:31:56):
I asked myself all the time. If I won't say
it to your face, I won't print it. I've got
to be able to look you in the face and
say it. And often when I hit print after a
Vodkras two, I do feel quite confident.

Speaker 4 (01:32:09):
But in the morning when I wake up, I'm not
quite so sure.

Speaker 18 (01:32:12):
So that's my rule, and I try to I try
to obey it, and when I whenever I whenever I don't,
I always regret it. And there's also too there's a
way of telling a story. I can tell a story
in kind of a kind way. I don't have to
be a bully about it. I don't have to be
mean about it. They are people, and so yeah, I'm
careful about it. Maybe I'm too careful. I think if

(01:32:34):
I was a little bit more aggressive, if I could
be don't change, don't that is your that's your recipe
for success. Yes, Gandhi, what's your question for the ask
a calumness?

Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
I have so many?

Speaker 3 (01:32:46):
Okay, the first one is have you ever released a
story and then gotten threatened by the celebrity because this
story came out?

Speaker 18 (01:32:54):
Yes, I have, But I've got hotspur that I should
not have. And I think it's because I'm British. I'm
not aware of how much damage people could do to
be here in America.

Speaker 4 (01:33:05):
We're in Britain.

Speaker 18 (01:33:06):
I think it's because, if you think about it, the
way to upset you is to is to get to
somebody you love. And so my mom's in Britain, so
she's never going to be ashamed of anything I do
here because you're never.

Speaker 4 (01:33:17):
Going to read it.

Speaker 18 (01:33:18):
The dinner lady from school, who I'm still terrified of,
missus Higgins, she'll never read it. And so moving to
a different country gives you a different perspective. When you
go traveling, when you're on vacation, you feel confident. When
you're walking around Spain or when you walk around Italy,
you feel like that you're invincible, and you're often not,
but that's the feeling you have. And so I still

(01:33:38):
feel a little bit maybe too confident. But yes, there
has been times. The more you threaten me, though, I
can be a real stubborn so and so I can
dig my heels in the best way to kill a story.
Don't threaten me, call me and cry. Oh oh, definitely,
definitely darling, Definitely you have to follow up, Gandhi.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
Okay, have you ever wielded your power because you knew
a story was going to come out and you tell somebody, hey,
this story's gonna come out, just giving you a heads up,
and now I need those concert tickets.

Speaker 18 (01:34:11):
No, because I don't. No, I don't think I have
done that. I've given people heads up without asking for
anything in return. I don't play quick pro quo that
that often that often after mainly because I've got everything
I want, like I have a really lovely, lovely life,
and so no, I don't really, I don't really do that.

Speaker 4 (01:34:30):
I've got no game, Like.

Speaker 18 (01:34:31):
My wardrobe should be full of Gucci and Brada and
freeze stuff and it's it's really not it's very J
Crew like, it's very like I'm lovely. I love Jay
Crew And so no, I haven't done that, but I have.
I have helped people. I've helped people negotiated. Before I
was a columnist, I was a publicist, and so I
know what to do in these circumstances. A couple of

(01:34:54):
days ago, there was a story that broke and I
texted a friend of mine and said, just don't respond,
just let this go away, and I promise you, in
twenty minutes, somebody will do something foolish and we won't
be talking about You'll see.

Speaker 4 (01:35:06):
Isn't that usually the case? Isn't that usually the case
if something comes out, even as scandalous as it could be,
unless it's illegal and there's gonna be you know, other
repercussions there. But if you just leave alone and I'll
go away, it's.

Speaker 18 (01:35:17):
Such important advice. And people don't do it though, Elvis, Like,
when you think about it, if somebody texts you something
today you don't like, you're probably gonna respond. Don't don't respond,
don't give it any more oxygen, let me die.

Speaker 4 (01:35:28):
People, there's something there's a great advice. You've given a
lot of us in this room. Hey, a texture asking
a question. Have you ever been in love with or
involved with a celebrity? I kissed George Michael once we
hold on Now was he alive or.

Speaker 10 (01:35:48):
In the.

Speaker 9 (01:35:53):
You just weren't really high on my lison now?

Speaker 4 (01:35:55):
Well, no, if you'd seen him the night I kissed him,
he was a little sloppy.

Speaker 2 (01:35:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:35:59):
Two was it in the bathroom in the park.

Speaker 18 (01:36:06):
It was three am in a nightclub in London called
Kinky Delinkis And at three a m I had a
snug in a group in the corner.

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
Good for you, but hold on though saying it? Have
you Have you ever ever woke up the next morning
and found out what you printed the day before? It
was as far away from the truth as as it
could be. And you made a mistake, And what did you?
What do you do at that point? I know it happened.

Speaker 18 (01:36:38):
You do make mistakes, but you try to be honest
about it. And you have to remember too, this has
to go through legal You can't just say anything what
people can say on TikTok and on their Instagram feeds.
I can't say I will get sued and so there's
definitely a layer that isn't such a good thing. Always
it can be a restriction. I know something from a fact,

(01:36:58):
I know it. I just can't get it past my
legal department. And then some YouTube kid breaks it. It
will I'm furious. And so there's a balance of this,
like I'm not that reckless.

Speaker 4 (01:37:09):
I'm really not. When I was younger, I was probably reckless.

Speaker 18 (01:37:11):
As you get older, you have more more stuff that
you don't want to lose or get sued for. And
so I have never woken up and regretted regretted the content.
I might have regretted the tone. I could have been nicer,
because it's gonna get out. Let me tell you a
little secret here. Secrets don't last. They always get out

(01:37:31):
in the month, today, next week, next month. But they
will get out. And so I would argue to a celebrity,
it's better I tell it than somebody else. You don't
want TMZ telling it, you want me telling it because
it will be the same story. But at the end
it'll be blessed their hats.

Speaker 4 (01:37:53):

What Gwyneth Paltrow he and her son?

Speaker 16 (01:42:31):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's son Moses Martin.
He has a band called People I've Met, and he
has a song called Promise Listen to How closely he
sounds like dad?

Speaker 4 (01:42:42):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:42:44):
What dissern Wow?

Speaker 4 (01:42:53):
Move it? I wonder if that's lying? Seriously, you hear
your son sounding that great. That must be such an honor,
I'm assuming and you've grown up listening to him, so
you kind of have that like, oh, I know what
this sounds like. Wow, turn it up a little Bitscary

(01:43:16):
so good.

Speaker 5 (01:43:21):
And dis.

Speaker 4 (01:43:25):
Wow, that's so good. That's called And the name of
his band once again is people I've met. I love that.
Thanks for bringing that in. You're good American carriage. Love
you for that. Let's get into the three things we
need to know, Gandhi, What is going on all right?

Speaker 6 (01:43:40):
Do you want to start with the fun stories? I
think that's what we should do.

Speaker 3 (01:43:43):
I don't know what you're setting us up for something here,
Just waimos. You know the self driving car company is,
they say, pumping the brakes on their robotaxis in Austin,
Texas because there have been so many reports that the
driverless cars were illegally passing school buses that had stopped
to let students out. Now we know this also happened

(01:44:04):
because a way mow car drove into a police arrest scene.
And we've heard reports of these cars potentially running over pets.
The Austin School District says there have been nearly two
dozen incidents this school year alone. The move comes weeks
after the company announced plans to expand into Dallas, Houston,
and San Antonio, so they're going to pull back on
that just a little bit. A new study finds Virginia Beach, Virginia,

(01:44:27):
is the most caring city in the country. The study
by wallet hub compared the top one hundred populated cities
in the country and found Virginia Beach ranked first overall.
The metrics included caring for the community, caring for vulnerable populations,
and carrying in the workplace. And finally, the powerball jackpot
is rolling over once again, coming closer to the one

(01:44:49):
billion dollar mark.

Speaker 6 (01:44:50):
There was no grand prize winner in Monday night's drawing.

Speaker 3 (01:44:53):
That means at least nine hundred and thirty million dollars
will be on the line next time those numbers are drawn,
and that is tomorrow. The odds of hitting the jackpaw
one and roughly nearly one in nearly two hundred and
ninety two million, so not great, but you still have
a chance.

Speaker 6 (01:45:09):
And those are your three things.

Speaker 4 (01:45:10):
So maybe you're familiar with Kurt Menafee. Menefee hosts Fox
NFL Sunday He also co hosts Good Day New York
on Fox five with my best friend Rosanna Scatto. He
just announced he is leaving Good Day New York. He's
been with Rosanna for two years. I really think they
were just a great couple. They were so awesome together.

Speaker 9 (01:45:30):
And have Rosanna been with She's been because she's like
an original. But how many have come and gone?

Speaker 4 (01:45:36):
I guess the question should be how many people has
Rosanna a Scotto run away?

Speaker 10 (01:45:41):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:45:42):
No, no, you know she's been with several because in
Rosanna Scotto, if you're from New York, you know she's
a mainstay. I mean, she's been doing this for a
thousand years, legend. And I will see her a little
bit later today. But anyway, this was kind of a surprise.
But I know that she loved working with Kurt a lot.

Speaker 6 (01:46:00):
Are you going to apply for that job?

Speaker 10 (01:46:02):
No?

Speaker 9 (01:46:02):
No, you guys, would be awesome, would be really awes Maybe.

Speaker 4 (01:46:06):
I'll go fill in a little bit and that nine
o'clock hour you know it is, but no, it's TV.
You gotta put clothes on, in shave makeup. No, that's
not for me.

Speaker 2 (01:46:16):
