Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your hand us together and we're going to start
to party.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
A party. The Elvis Duran after party joined us.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And why.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
How is everybody great?
Speaker 5 (00:22):
And how are you?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
I'm great, I'm you know, looking like a preteen with
my nice little shaving accident. Well it is not, I
assure you. That would be a very weird place for hecky,
I appreciate a good visits from.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
What are you bringing us today? Andy?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Let me think, Oh, this one the most surprising compliment
you've ever received.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Surprising, not the nicest.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Yees, Oh, surprising compliment.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
Surprising.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I got a really good one.
Speaker 7 (00:54):
Did anybody in this room give it to you?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Absolutely not. Had a guest on a couple of weeks ago,
and I was like going to grab water, and she
looked at me and she goes, you have the most
beautiful eyes. And I was like, thank you so much,
because I always like, I don't know, my eyes are
like somewhat hazily. They're not super brown like my sister
(01:17):
and my mom have like brown brown eyes. Mine can
be like a little they have some green in there
sometimes it depends. And I was like, wow, this is
the nicest thing. I never would have thought that was
like a compliment I would give someone.
Speaker 7 (01:28):
Now, I'm like, wow, I love that for me, that
compliment Trump's Barbara Corcoran calling you a chipmunk.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Absolutely, that was by far the best anybody ever giveniment. Yeah, no,
she means the nicest way. I think cute. Maybe she
meant like cute, like Alvin and the Chipmunks are cute.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I'd see that would that would be a surprising compliment.
You do.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Let me see you have nice eyes too. I do, Yes,
you have gorgeous eyes, per.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Okaye Michael like yoursids Like I have brown on my
driver's license, but everyone so many people tell me they're
hazel They change, and I'm just like, really.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Don't know it is in New York. I wonder if
it is in Jersey. I don't know, but I feel
like everyone says they have hazel ice. Like once you
actually say, oh, I think I have hazel ice, there's
always one person that's like, no, you don't, they're brown.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
The one my weirdest compliment was from Camilla Caveo and
Shown Mendes And it was at a jingle ball and
they said, they said to me, you have the nicest
armpits and the weirdest compliment I've ever gotten in my
dark What I was I was interviewing them for something.
I don't know what it was. And I had on
like a you know what, no tank toppy looking thing,
(02:49):
and and I think she's she said it first, She's like,
you have the armpits are so nice, and I'm like really,
and then he said, yeah, you really do his arms.
I never got the compliment. Again, I didn't know where
it came from because I don't. It's very weird and
my arm pits are not nice.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
But okay, it was very.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Very you do.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I would be able to tell.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
A nice arm But thanks Camilla, and thank you sleepless gown.
Look at those pits.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
They seem like the couple that would be like, we
just were like catching your vibe from across the bar
and we just like left your armpits. They just like
seem like they were that.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Couple were going to try to recruit a third.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah, based off of arm disturbing.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Okay, what was the question again?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
It was the most surprising compliment.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
There you go, I don't ever get compliments, so I.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Just gave you one.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
What was the compliment you gave me?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Your eyes were nice.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I know that you just said you didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Now your teeth are very white.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Thank you pressed white strips.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
I had somebody that was disappointed that I wasn't black
because they apparently thought I was black when I was
on the radio.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I don't think nothing about you.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Translation Gondi's dad thought I was Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I don't really want my dad can't see.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
He was waiting for me, and he was looking for
a black girl talk Hello, what's up? How are you?
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
I could kind of hear, but you know, I don't know.
You do not sound Indian at all. I don't have
an accent.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Fair enough.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
This is true. It's a surprising compliment.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
You didn't come on Nate.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Uh No, under arms, You're under arms are fabulous.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
I've gotten a nice smile. I get nice smile.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
He's thinking of a surprising compliment. He's not surprised by
any of them.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I don't really know.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, no, like, no one's compliment you on you something
and you've been like, oh wow, I didn't think that.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
That was nice. Here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
I can't take compliments, so I don't remember them. So
some people probably compliment.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Does this make sense.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Yeah, people probably compliment me all the time, but I
think they're full of crap, so I don't even it
doesn't even register in my brain.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Sandwich.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
I think I feel like if anybody ever compliments me,
I feel like they're making fun of me. So I
even take the compliment, I feel like nobody's being serious.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Wow, what's insane is that? I feel like the the
idea that we all have of you is that you're
very vain. But meanwhile, you can't take a compliment. So
that's interesting. It's like a weird You know, that's a facade, right, Andrew,
you contain layers name character. Oh you're an I see,
that's right, it's merely act.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Someone once told me that I exude the kind of
confidence that people try to fake on Instagram. So I'm like,
all right, is that a.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
That I know?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
But they meant they say that I'm a confident person
what they say, But they compared.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Me to people on Instagram who always have this open face.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah yeah, So.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
It's good.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
I think it's actually good if you get down to
the nitty gritty.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a confident person.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You are.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, fairly, you.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Don't sound so right now. I'm not confident in the
answer that I just gave.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
But this is this was a I'm trying to think of,
like something along the lines of like the armpit compliment
that you've got. I'd never got something weird, like scary.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
You don't want those, Gandhi.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
This one's a tough one. I think in person, I
do get compliments on my eyes, but online people are
really mean, so I never know which way to take it.
That's not unusual though. Oh oh, someone said to me
once that having a conversation with me is his favorite
thing to do because it feels like every single thing
(07:04):
is a song written just for him.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Oh that's very nice.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
That was so nice. Yeah, that was a nice one.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Yeah, that's a great one. It was.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I'm gonna use it on someone going.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Forward, Scotty, can you tap that? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I mean, I was surprised by a compliment on time
Nelly Furtado one time. I was like, you have very
lovely teeth, and I turned all red and I couldn't
talk to her, you know. But then there was a
girl one time that said to me, and I'm not
sure if this is a compliment or not. But she said, wow,
you don't look Jewish. So I don't know if that
was good or bad.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
I feel like it's bad because of the wow in
front of you.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah, not bad to you.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
But like bad to all the other Jewish people.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Well maybe I see.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I don't know whether she was Jewish or not. If
she was Jewish might be like, wow, you don't look
like a jew, let's go out.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
But so I'm not. I'm not really sure.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I don't know what her intention was, but I was like,
all right. It was in an appearance, and I was like, okay, cool,
you know, and I just kind of gave her a
sticker and walked away.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
You just triggered a memory for me. I remember somebody
in our company said, oh, you have such lovely curly hair.
Are you Jewish? And it was our company's h R person.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Oh wow, no longer works.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
So yeah, I am not Jewish, but apparently I have
Jewish hair.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
You know that I am, but I don't look like one.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Triggering Homemade compliments are like mistaken racial identity.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
It's like a wheel he spins which ethnicity today?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
I can't wait for your return.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Shoot, I'm sure it'll be soon
Speaker 2 (08:48):
