Gandhi warns that constant scrolling and device addiction may be rewiring our brains and urges everyone to unplug and touch grass, Nate questions why vanilla-scented cologne isn’t more acceptable for men (and fully commits to smelling like a dessert), Danielle debates whether speed-wash cycles actually clean clothes or just save time, Skeery declares gift cards officially back in style as his go-to present, and Scotty B wonders if getting older means his alcohol tolerance is disappearing faster than his ability to stay out late.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Okay, so ask me what is my least favorite part
of our show? Favorite part of your show? Phone taps?
All right, ask me my favorite part of our show?
What is your favorite part of the show. Let's do it.
It's round the room. I love it when we go
around the room. What's on your minds today? I want
(00:26):
to know. We'll start with you, Gandhi. What are you
thinking about?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All right?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I know we talk about it all the time, but
stay off your electronic devices as much as you can.
Because I just saw, and I'm sure we've talked about
this before, a brain scan of somebody who is constantly
on their phone, constantly scrolling and using chat ebt versus
somebody who does not, and the activity is wildly different.
Killing our brains. We are killing ourselves by spending our
(00:50):
day looking at what everybody else is doing. Live your life,
Go outside, touch grass, breathe the fresh air. It's important
not just because it's good for your you know, mental health,
it's genuinely good for your physical brain. So stay away
from that kind of stuff if you can.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Is it permanent damage or can we come back from it.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
That's a great question. I'm not sure. Just that activity
gets lower, and you know once your brain activity starts
to decrease that cause it's all kinds of problems. So
I would imagine it's something that's fixable. I don't think
it's permanent. I'm not the scientist that did this, so
don't listen to me, but just do your best.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Stay off of this way.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I've said it before, I've said it, I'll say it
a million times. When you were sitting there and scrolling
and scrolling and scrolling, you are disconnecting from yourself. You think, well, no,
I'm just with me.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I'm connecting with myself. No you're not.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
You're not connecting with you. You're connecting with anything but you. Yeah,
so don't fit yourself.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
He do.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Producer Sandwich on your Mind today.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Just a reminder that communication is really important in a marriage.
Because William I thought was giving me the cold shoulder
all evening and I couldn't tell what was up. So
finally I was like, dude, what what happened? What's wrong
with you? He goes, well, you told me to stop
bothering you and leave me alone. And I put two
and two together. I was talking to Savannah because I
was cooking and she was like just standing at my
(02:01):
feet waiting for food to drop. So I told her
to leave me alone and stop bothering me. William just
said something to me before I didn't hear, and he
thought I was talking to him three hours where he
was like, geez, that was rude, and I'm like, why
is he being a bitch, And it turns out that
was what happened.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
So yeah, and you think that's better. You actually were
rude to Savannah.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
An apology as well. I definitely do. But she couldn't
eat the onion. It's poison.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Come on, guys, Yeah, you're right, no onions for dogs. Hey, Nate,
what's up? What is an acceptable fragrance for a man?
I asked this because I love the smell of vanilla
and cookies, and I know a lot of female lotions.
Yeah have that fragrance. Yeah, I love that smell. Why
can't I walk around smelling like vanilla? I can didn't
(02:47):
get body and it goes away.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I kind of want that kind of fragrance that like
heats up over the course of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Maybe some sort of a cologne or perfume. That smells
like its vanilla. I love the smell of vanilla. Yes,
I want to sell like Apper. I don't know, but
like that cocoa buttery smell. I love it. I mean,
it's smells so good. Why is it unacceptable for a
man to smell like that? It is? Don't listen to
what anyone else says. You be you, OKAYO go to the.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Frase counter and said, where can I find vanilla cookie?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Set?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Okay, when you're there, get me chocolate chip cookie because
I want to.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I want to smell like Famous Amos all day long. Danielle,
what's up with you?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Okay? So you know when you go to your washing
machine and you don't have a lot of time, so
you do the speed cycle, like sometimes it's fifteen minutes.
Are your clothes getting less clean because you do a
speed cycle?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
You're supposed to do this speed? Does it get something?
Probably wasting water?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I just don't understand.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Why would I do a forty minute cycle when I
can do a fifteen minute cycle? Right? If it's cleaning
the same exact.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Way to find out we need we need a judgment
call on this. Look, of course, to save water, it
would make sense to do the short cycle.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I know I do that a lot, but is it
as clean?
Speaker 6 (04:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Are you gonna get the skid marks out of nate
poopy undies?
Speaker 6 (04:14):
I do not mark poopy undies at my house, thank
you very But I'm just curious, Like I'm like, well,
this is stupid. I'm gonna I always use the speech, right,
so do I? I mean, if it's a large, large load,
then maybe I'm here to do the longer. You know,
sometimes you're throwing like eight things, like, you know, let's
do the test.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Let's do the test.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Uh, Nate, bring us two pairs of your poopy undies.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I'm not watching it.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I am not watching them all right, let's find out.
I'm sure there is an answer somewhere. Someone has to
give us that answer. Hey, scary, what's up.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I know people say it's impersonal or unoriginal to give
gift cards as presents, but I gotta say I'm done.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Everybody.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Everybody is getting gift cards. Everyone has gotten gift cards
for presents in the recent past and the and the future.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I am buying because I have no time.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
And I feel like there has to be There could
be a year of your life where it's in case
of emergency break glass, you're allowed the free pass to
give a gift card.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Scary, scary, don't think of it that way. People love
gift cards, you know, whoever, whoever says it's impersonal, you know, Okay,
well that's for them, but you know people would love it.
And it's not even about you giving yourself a pass.
It's actually a good gift.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
You're okay, okay, agrees okay, Oh yeah, I can't quality gift.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Okay, Then I feel better about it now, I mean,
I mean Gandhi wants you to write her a love letter.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Please? Why won't you just do that? It's so easy,
it's free. I just want to.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Doesn't have time, no time, no time for love.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
How do you not have time out of curiosity?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
You just go home and run.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You don't do anything you tell us you no, no, no.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I took up this thing called working out, and it's
taken takes a lot out of it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But wait a minute, wait wait, wait wait, wait, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Going home and rotting is doing something, and sometimes you do.
You do need to decompress like that, leave him alone?
You know me, never I'm the only one allowed to
pick on Scary.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Thank you for thank you for support Elvis.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
So if you want, if you have to get a
gift card, not like a Visa or MasterCard gift card,
a gift card to a restaurant, correct the ones that
they have in the big stands at check out.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What do you want? Which one do you want? Which one?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Amazon's always good.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Amazon the best way to go. It doesn't have that
activation fee.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That like the Visa car, Amazon is too broad.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
No I want, no, no, no, no, I need to
have I need California peach your kitchen.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Our special guest owner around the room trip is Scotty Bee.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Hey, Scotty, what's f y?
Speaker 7 (06:52):
I The last gift that Scary gave me was a
Red Lobster gift card.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Because I know he loves Cheddar Bay biscuits.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You got that from a client.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It was good to spend money, it was good. So
we had Cheddar made biscuits for the giving. I guess
in the box. In the box it was pretty good.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
So with all the gatherings and parties and whatnot, lately,
I'm beginning to think, I don't know if this is
just me, but can your alcohol tolerance become less as
you get older.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Is that a thing?
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Because I'm I'm noticing I cannot drink as much anymore.
I get crazy hangovers now, and it's horrible. I never
used to changing before. Your metabolism is different. Also, you've
lost weight.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
There's that. I don't like it to consider. I don't.
I don't like it now.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
I mean I used to be able to drink two beers,
three beers, no problem. Now if I have two beers,
I have a headache.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
The next day he's bragging about two beers, not problem.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Back up, money, you wors than I am.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Well.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
I mean they called me too, can sam for a
long time.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
But no, but your body, just like everything else, it
takes your body more effort to process as you can
at older, So it does lower you're tolerant.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Maybe I need to space them out. I don't know,
but I don't like to stay apart. I don't like
to stay at.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Parties that long.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
We were out one night and his girlfriend approaches me
and pulls me aside, says he can't hang I would.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Party all night. But I guess we got to know
because of him. It's the It was the big big
toys for tunch party. You guys went to.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Scottie Bee and his girlfriend drank the same drinks drink
for drink with each other, and he got obliterated.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
And she's like, what, what's wrong?
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Well, I mean she grew she grew up in the
back of pickup trucks, you know, drinking twelve packs of
Miller lights with no problems, so she's used to it.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I can't do that, all right, Well, it's nothing you
train for.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
But Gandhi's right though, your metabolism everything changes, everything changes.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Yeah, she's a lot younger than you too, so there's
probably that.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
A lot younger than me.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I'm sorry, but you know what I've been doing. The
every other drink is a glass of water thing, Yeah,
to help. It's actually great, it's a big help for me.
Maybe I'll try I don't drink water, so maybe I
should try that. Well, I know, so if if I
do drink water, drink water, drink water, then I know,
at least I have fifteen glasses of water.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Then die in the bathroom all night. But at least
you don't not have a hangover, right,
It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran
in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Okay, so ask me what is my least favorite part
of our show? Favorite part of your show? Phone taps?
All right, ask me my favorite part of our show?
What is your favorite part of the show. Let's do it.
It's round the room. I love it when we go
around the room. What's on your minds today? I want
(00:26):
to know. We'll start with you, Gandhi. What are you
thinking about?
