Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your hands together, and we're gonna stop to a.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Party, the Elvis Duran after party.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I'm giving myself an applot again.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Yeah, claps like a four year old?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
How you actually clap or or or you know, I do?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Maybe this one. But then it's like sometimes it's fun.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, does this.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I got big hands? You know you gotta put him
somewhere when you.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Had your whole clapping phase when you wanted somebody who
gets up the Okay, let's go right back.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It done. Yeah, I'll keep doing it. Let's start the podcast.
We'll bring you to the room. Let me think. Let's
find a good one. Hmmm.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Andrew has his list of questions.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, yeah, I was just looking ongoing. Let me see
this one. Oh, this one's good. What is something you
wish people asked about more?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Oh, cite your source?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Great one.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
I wish people would actually think about that and then
before they repost things or just start to believe the
thing that they have, someone cite their source and then
they trace the source to actually say was this credible?
No one's doing that anymore. So just misinformation everywhere, and
you got scary out here drinking flat Tommy Tea for Women.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Let me tell you with that, especially with Ai.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Now, like there were several times that had been on
Instagram that had been like, oh, this is an interesting video,
and then I'm like, go check the comments, and the
first comment is always oh I liked this until I
realized it was Ai, and I'm like, damn, now I've
been bamboozled, and now why am I on this just
looking at fake stuff?
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Fake now?
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Nano Banana pro were.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Terrifying influencers over what's the question again? It was something
you wish people asked more about. And I think mine
is do you need a day? I feel like that
should just be a commonplace thing.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Do you need a day? You can take a day healthy.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
You sit at your desk and you're like, I just
can't do this. I can't do this.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I was having a toddler.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You were, Yeah, I just happened because like I had
a really good week and I'm tired.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
I just don't want to You're tired, I really do it.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Was tired.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
You're allowed, Andrew you great. Well, I think we all
need to just accept the fact that everybody here in
this room, everybody listening, you're gonna need a day.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
It's just make it accept it's a good one.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
It's also a backhand handed way to insult somebody. While
under the guys of being nice, someone's being a crazy person.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Do you need a day?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Take your day by all means go home.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I actually didn't think of that, but that.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Is it's all in the tone, like the way you
said it was very nice, but you could, you know,
add a little to it.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
If someone's being you know what, you should take a day.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
There's the question again, forget it, think memory difficulty.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's something you wish people asked about more.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I go the other side of the story.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Yes, yes, sides every story correct.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
But sometimes when somebody comes out with their side, nobody thinks, oh, well,
what's the other side of the story, right, and come
to some sort of agreement in your head as to
what the story actually is. So yeah, I think we
are guilty of that. You know, we report these stories
all the time, and sometimes you got to say, what's
the other side?
Speaker 7 (03:49):
I feel like there's always truth on both sides. Somewhere
in the middle you find the truth exactly.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
I think what's interesting about that too, is so often
we've learned that the person saying nothing is typically the
person that's in the right. When it comes to a
lot of these like spirals that someone is posting, the
one who just is like, you know what, I'm not
even going to give this fire oxygen, let them walk
away from it. Is a lot of times the person
that maybe didn't do something that they're being accused of.
(04:15):
Not that that happens all the time. The other side
is important.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, the craziest people are question.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Do you need a day? Scary question?
Speaker 7 (04:32):
I don't know what people would ask about Danielle welcome
about me?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Just in general? Three examples.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I'm I'm struggling to struggle.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
On this one. What are you struggling with?
Speaker 8 (04:46):
Well, I'm struggling with with with the question with an example,
something that you.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Wish people would ask more about.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
In society, society poor you like, what do you wish
somebody would ask you?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Well, wish people question was are you today?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Like?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Do you wish somebody asked that?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Do you wish somebody here's a good example.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
I wish people would get both sides when it comes
to politics and stuff and just things in general, like
right away you make an assumption that this is this
or that is that nobody hears each other out. Nobody
listens to the other person to see if maybe they
have some kind of a sense in their head and
give it a little bit of an other thought, because
not everything that one person thinks, could you know, is
(05:28):
one hundred sometimes one hundred percent right? You know what
I mean? There is there are other ways to think
about things, and so sometimes I wish that more people
would do that. I think less fights would break out
if you were open to discussing with other people like
I may not believe that, but let me hear your way,
and then, you know, just not fight about it, just
walk away thinking like, Okay, maybe I don't agree, but
(05:49):
you know I heard them out.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
You know that black and white thinking. You can't have that.
You have to see the spectrum right exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
There's a lot of great a lot of great. Yes.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Did that enlighten you in any way? I think I
should sit with this one out.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
Well, I'm thinking about what it is people should ask
more about, and I don't know how.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
I feel like I'm so I'm not going to plant
the thought in your head.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
One of them.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Help me think you you care about are like ingredients
and foods?
Speaker 8 (06:18):
Oh my god, I was just I was going to say,
I wish I didn't know if this qualifies though, because
it's funny.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You say that.
Speaker 9 (06:28):
Okay, I wish people would be more interrogative or more
would do some more research on nutrition and and just
get to the bottom of things.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
You know how he sent you that soured over the
over the week, and he said.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
He trusted the man speaking because he had an Indian accent.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But this guy really boils it down for you.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So always question why.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
I think people should question the government more.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I think, you know, the moon landing, the moon, the
moon landing, these things, all these these theories that are like,
you know, the second shooter, the JFK thing, like I
feel like all these conspiracy theories.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
I think people should do their homework on and do
their due diligence before trying to come up with their
own conclusions. Does that help?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Something you wish people asked about more would be why.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
It would be why why?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Okay, that's how.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
You are when you're you know, he's That was my
number one thing with my parents.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Why is a good question why.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Can't we do this?
Speaker 9 (07:29):
But why?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You know, why is like an endless loop.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
You could continue to ask why and why and you
get an answer why that?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And then why that? And why that? And why that?
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
But why why? Okay? So I kind of yeah, thank you, Gandhi.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
I don't want any credit for that.
Speaker 10 (07:49):
Look, I'm also kind of at a loss, like scary,
but I wish that people cared when they asked you,
how's it going? How are you doing? Because they don't care.
It's just something you say when you say, hello, hey man,
how's it going. You know, if that man was just like, well,
you know, my wife died and it's been a really
(08:09):
terrible the other person probably doesn't care. So like when
you ask somebody how you doing, be prepared for an answer.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I think I disagree a lot with that. Actually, why why.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Well, because I just feel like that just has low
emotional intelligence on your side. You're just assuming that that
person is just checking in just to make small talk.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
They don't care. Look at the supermarket when they say hey,
how's it going. There was one time where I went,
it's terrible. I had an awful, awful week, and they're like, okay,
that'll be ten to fifty seconds.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Well, here's where I think you need to assess. Do
you think that the person taking your groceries needs to
hear I had a terrible day.
Speaker 10 (08:52):
But they asked me.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
They asked me. They don't ask.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
But then you decided to unleash that side instead of
just saying it was, you know, not great, but I'm here.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
And things are fine.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
You unloading to this poor cashier who's getting paid seven
dollars an hour to hear.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You be like it was terrible. Koopa didn't get on
the bus and her apple sauce was gone.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
I know this is a very cultural thing because my
parents from obviously a different country, they're from India. They
said the hey, how are you concept of the United
States was the weirdest thing to them and very hard
to get used to because in India, if you're saying
hello to someone, you just say hello, good morning, and
you move on. But if you actually ask somebody how
are you doing, you do expect a response back. So
(09:31):
they would do what Scott was doing and give an
actual response about what was going on in their life
as people are walking away from them, like yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
That's right going on?
Speaker 10 (09:39):
Like a guy walking into the bathroom is I'm walking out? Hey, man,
how's it going? Nobody wants to know?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
I never say that. By the way, I never say
how's it going or how are you unless I wanted
an answer.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I'm going to eliminate that from my list of greetings,
but just kind of comes out innocuous, like nobody actually cares.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Right.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
You should stop though, when somebody asks us to, oh,
do you really want to know?
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Now?
Speaker 10 (09:59):
I gotta get back songs almost over.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Welcome up, baby, Andrew.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Thank you so much for that thought provoking question why
Speaker 2 (10:14):
The Elvis DA ran after party
Get your hands together, and we're gonna stop to a.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Party, the Elvis Duran after party.
