Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the Morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
My favorite part of the day. We go around the room.
You ready to go, Yeah, let's go. All right.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I brought us all way way down to a very free,
negative blow. It's up to you to invigorate us and
wake us up. Froggy, I'm gonna start with you.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (00:18):
So I learned something last night while wrapping gifts. I'm
somebody who likes to I use gift bags a lot.
Gift bags are easier. You don't have to wrap and
do all that other stuff if you don't cut the
paper right. But last night I went to write, we
have the gift tags or you you know, to peel
and stick. I stuck the gift tag onto the gift
bag and you would have thought that I burned the
(00:41):
house down.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Why what?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Because you don't do that, Elvis. You don't put the
gift the sticky tag on the bag. It goes on
the tissue paper. Because we're going to reuse that bag.
I put it on the bag. I got yelled at.
I'm like, no, you gigs on the tissue paper. You
throw the tissue paper away. We reuse the bag. I'm like,
why can't I just stick a new sticker over the
(01:04):
old sticker? Then it's obviously reused the bag, she said.
So I just learned to get wrapping etiquette last night.
You reuse those bags and you put the sticker on
the tissue paper.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I never do that. She's gonna break you in.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Eventually, She's gonna break you in eventually. Again, I'm a
learning boy.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
All right. Gosh, I'm afraid to come to your house. Hey, uh,
straight eight, what's up with you? I gotta think Ben
who works for us here?
Speaker 5 (01:29):
He baked and created a little box for each of us,
of which mine is practically empty now. He had cookies
and brownies and other little treats in there. And I
just love when somebody takes a moment to do something
like that. It's something so simple, it's something so easy.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Make cookies, man, that's the way to get get to
the heart. So thank you, Ben thoughtful.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You know, from now on, interns must be screened to
make sure they can bake.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Seriously, I have to right now.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
And it's pretty we can. Let's vet them in the
old oven. Hey, what's going on with you? Scarry? All right?
Speaker 7 (02:03):
So I'm maybe late to the party on this maybe
common knowledge, but I'm not a cook, a chef, none
of that. So I did not know that garlic has
four different flavors depending on the way you cut it.
Garlic if you leave, if you leave the cell membrane untouched,
will have a much more mild and a sweet taste
(02:25):
to it. So, like a clove of situation, you slice it.
But if you then crush the garlic or you really like,
dice it up, now you're destroying the cells. And the
more you destroy the cells, the stronger the pungent the
garlic is. And when you pure it, forget about it,
it's in its most potent form. And then of course
(02:45):
by the way you cook it and heat it up
and onions behave behave in a similar fashion. Did you
know no, Well, yeah, so truth be told.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yes, the thing is that that's that's the way you
control and regulate the pungent.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
See of the garlics.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So a lot of there are some recipes where you
do want to pure it and you do want it
very very garlicy.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Right now you know how to control it, that's right.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
So if you want sweet garlic, roast it with the
whole clove and just sit there and just let it roast, roast, roast,
and then it'll be nice and sweet for you.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
There you go, slow roasted. You know what it's?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
That garlic is like those uh those dialer brushes for
for mescarra. You can you can dial your own potency
for your garlic just by how you cut it with that.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Uh, Danielle, what's up with you?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So my mom got her hands on a mandolin cutter.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
How do you say it? Is it a slicer?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, not a good idea. I'm telling everybody, throw it
away if you got it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, no, no, no, no, don't do that. Mandolins are great.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You're the third person though, that has had to go
to the emergency room that I know from this mandolin thing.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
She didn't even use it yet. She was cleaning it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Cut a whole hand open yesterday, yea, everywhere she got.
So Mom and I had to talk and I said, listen,
you don't need this. Throw it away.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You lived without it before.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I don't want to know what the next call is
going to be from you using this thing, So please
throw it in the garbage. She told me she would.
She wound up having to get her handle glued back together.
She had three band aids on and a tissue and
the blood was still gushing out. Oh so yeah, she
did some damage there. So yes, mother, Sometimes I feel
like I'm the mother and she's a child. But anyway, Yeah,
(04:24):
hoping my mama is okay. And now she threw away home.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Mom.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
That's thing about mandolin, though, I mean, you have to
have that one accident and from then on you you're good.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I've had my mandolin accident. Now I love it.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I've scolloped potatoes. Here we go, thinly sliced potatoes.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Love them. What's up there, gandhi?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I want to shout out our competition for a minute. Oh,
there's a man in this building who makes everyone happy
every single day. It's Jim Kerr from Q one oh four.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, that guy.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I cannot put into words what a ray of sunshine
he always is. This morning, he came in just to
say something nice to Danielle Say and myself. And he
doesn't ever have to do it. He works across the building,
but he walks over here every single day and it's
just the nicest person.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And he is.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Yeah, he's taught me a lot about how spreading cheer works,
and I'm gonna do better because I watched him do
it every day. He's just the greatest ever. And I
wanted to tell the whole world don't go listen to
them right now, but we love Junker.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You know, Jim Kurr is an institution in this industry.
I mean, he is a legend here in New York
City and we all look up to him. But he
is definitely the cheerleader in the hallway. Oh yeah, whenever
you've got something going on, or if he saw you
somewhere doing an appearance or whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
He'll mention it to you. God, that was great, how
you did that?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
And this is coming from arguably the most listened to
man in New York City radio history who's on the
air currently.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
My mom thinks he is so hot.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Oh he's a babe.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, he's saying, Jim cursh will hot.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Okay, scary thinks that Jim Kurr has that big D energy. Oh,
absolutely energy. It's not just energy. Really have we heard
have we heard about about? Like we can't talk about
Jim Jim damn.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
But I hope that makes him happy.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
He is just the most incredible man. Hell, heucky are
we to have him in our life. I love that
you brought that up. Did Oh no, I didn't go.
You were in the room to hold on and stop.
Producer Sam, I'm sorry, Okay, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I was also distracted by gandhis around the room.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
So tonight is the third night of Hanukkah, and my
family and I have been reading like the same prayers
for over twenty years at this point, and each candle
is its own prayer. But this is one of my
favorite things I read all year, and this is what
we read after each night, and I'm just gonna I'm
gonna paraphrase it's it's not the whole thing, but I
think it's lovely.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Miracles do not happen. People work to accomplish.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
What seems to be miraculous, just as one thought may
spark others to act, so one candle might light others,
thereby removing darkness, loneliness, and the chill of sadness.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
May we be among those who help light the world.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I think it's just so lovely for any religion that
you can be a part of creating a miracle, be
it a small one or a big one. You have
power even if it's just one little stinking candle. You
can light some other people's candles, So.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Keep that Sam, that's so lighty. I love that prayer.
That's awesome. I love you. Thanks for bringing that to
us now. Sam has big D energy. Look at that. Yeah,
I love that. Happy Honuagha, Night three,
