Speaker 1 (00:00):
Have you ever inhaled helium? Of course, everybody should have
a hand. Everybody should have a hand. Okay, put it
down now, let me ask you this. Let me ask
you this and same thing. Hands up if if the
answer is yes. Were you ever told that inhaling helium
is dangerous.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Later in life? Yeah? Okay? Why why Dan?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
You're iffy like I can't I'm next to you in
the car and I'm not sitting your hand up now.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Now I'm trying to see.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I don't know if like a parent ever said it
like a kid's birthday party. I don't remember that.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Why do I feel like we were always told that,
like we're gonna let you do this, but it's very dangerous.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hey man, I'm holding on even to this day.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
I'm telling you right now it's dangerous. It's dangerous. It's
funny as hell. It is funny as hell.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Weren't you always told him as dangerous. I feel like,
even as a kid, I never did it right after
someone said just remember this is dangerous. We did it
because it was funny, and I've maybe done it only
once or twice, And then as I got older, people
were like, that's super dangerous. Yeah, No, First of all,
it's not funny. It is hysterical. It is awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
It is when you're when when you first learned to
do it, you think it's the greatest party trick that's
ever existed.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Nothing's better that it's never been done. Nothing's better.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
And if they put fifty balloons in front of you,
you'll huff all fifty.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh whow? So you would do like multiple inhales? What
do you mean? I definitely did probably like three in
a row to keep it going. Yeah, yeah, oh, I
don't think I've ever done like back to back to bad.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
As soon as your voice started to return to normal,
you said another head. Okay, so you were fading yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Well fading out. Did you ever get lightheaded from it? Yes?
Did you ever think you were passing out?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
No? Hey, Kristin, see if you can find me someone
who came close to passing out.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I hope there's no long term effects that you can hear.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
And there looking at it, the what if that's what
we're all jacked up from.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
From random heliums. Why can't Elliott get a sentence out?
I went to some birthday parties. Why's Diane vague on
much of the two thousands. She went to some birthday parties. Yeah,
did her in the No?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
No, no, the Yeah, you would, you'd suck it in.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Hey me, get down and getting your hand. That's not
what it sounds like. Okay, you need helium in order
to do it, go a safe way.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
If somebody walked in here, if somebody walked in here
with uh, with balloons, I do them right now?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Would you?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah? Oh? I thought you were saying, Oh, they are funny.
I do one because it's funny. Wait, you do it
at all? Oh, it's very dangerous. No it is. It's
very dangerous. People don't it may be it may be

(03:12):
was that a side effect?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
No, I'm thinking if this is an accurate statement, and
I know it's not, somebody.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Will be like, what about smoking?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
See? No, it may be the most dangerous thing that
nobody cares about because it's funny.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
So it is still as commonplace to see this at
birthday parties. Yeah, I just well, any place there's a balloon,
can I give you a downer? Can I get you know?
What made me think of this?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
And I was gonna make a serious thing out of this,
but I just read a story about a mom who
died at a birthday party because she sucked a helium.
She died at the party, right in the middle of
the party. They couldn't resuscitate her or revive. They worked
for twenty minutes on her. How many in a road
did she do the she grad Now here's where. Here's
where I want to put everybody back on. It's okay
to do this.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
In case someone's walking across the street from safe.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
She took a hit off the canister, not the balloon, which,
by the way, bring a canister in here.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I'll do it.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Also, I wouldn't do that while telling you I would irresponsible.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
This is like a thrashers talking about helium or something.
You can't put that on the air. Okay, you just
told us a story about someone who died doing it. Okay,
So maybe not right now because it's top of mind.
But if we were blowing up balloons, like, what big
idea of that? What adult child? Oh my god, please
please put in your mouth on the valve. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh please come down out off of the pedestal.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
A week yeah, a.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Week ago, we're blowing up balloons for for I always
was afraid Dave girls playing the conference room and we
got to blow up balloons, and there's a canister in there.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Now it's you would you wouldn't go a little bit
like I would know.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
I was always at least if at least you can
regulate how much you're getting that.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
I feel like, no, wait, so you've done this before
with the canister? No, no way, Yes, yes, of course
I have. Yes. By the way, you know who else
to sing? Of course they have ninety nine percent of America.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
None, one hundred percent of America is sucked to helium
out of balloon.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Why funny? Usually you don't have access to the source
the canister. Yes, yes, all the time. What I bought
them at the grocery center.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
But a lot of times, like parents will bring one in,
so everybody has that and they know what you're doing
with it.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
We're just gonna keep loading those balloons up. I don't
have to buy bouquets.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I just got to buy four for one, one for
each of you and just suck it down. Hysterical asking
for another slice of pizza like a chipmunk is funny, Christen, Have.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
You ever hit the canister? No, but you've done the balloon, right,
that's hit the canister. Sounds like a drug addict. No.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yes, you've done more balloons than I've done canisters.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I said I'd probably have done two. You normal people,
you know, those who were birthday parties.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
So you've done how many times have you done balloons
all the time? Yeah, thank you, Kristen. No, at least,
So Diane is like trying to now like pretty herself.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
I'm not saying I was. Yeah, yes, it's not. I
was always afraid.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
I don't think I ever even saw anybody take a
hit off the canister.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Ever, you've never seen somebody hit a canister. And I
don't remember. I don't mean one of like the little
small hands. Are you're talking about the big cans? Yeah,
it looks like the big scuba tank. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
You used to be able to blow up at balloons,
Like we didn't have a party city. What was what's
like a ghetto party city, like party Plaza or something.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
But you used to blow up your own.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Balloons there Fiesta, see you die. No, Fiesta was the
grocery store. That's where Pedro did taxes. I'm not not
kidding the the no, but you could blow up your
own balloons there.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
So you've ever seen a story to let you do it,
So you would mess with it in the store.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
You would go up with your thing of balloons, you know,
like you could get like Lordy, Lordy, Diane's forty and
you push down on the thing and it would blow
the balloon up. Or you'd have to take that the
little nipple and move it to the side right and
it would blow.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
The balloon up.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Right.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
So you used to be able to blow your own
balloons up at party Plaza or whatever it was called.
It was some ghetto ass store the but and then
they had like a little clip that you would put
on it. So when you would do that, you had
the thing. And yes, if you took that, if you
took the nipple and pulled it all the way over.
But if you just kind of dig that thing to
the right a little bit, you would just get a

(07:57):
little bit and you'd just go.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
In the store. How filthy. I cleaned it with my
map with my mouth, right, did you also empty out
the uh, what's the thing in the spice aisle that
people like, there's a little bit of alcohol in it?

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Vanilla vanilla? Yeah, so take shots of that.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
No, I never I never tried to get drunk, drink
in vanilla same, like, what do I look like?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Desperate? No? Who was the person that was drinking after shave?
Who was that? Yeah? I don't know who? Oh god?
Oh is that right? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
I don't know why I turned the mic off, as
if is anybody in the Docacas family listening. Didn't Kiddy
Docacas drink after shave to get drunk? Saturday Night Live
used to make fun of her all the time. Well,
that also may not be.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
She drank after shave and hairspray and rubbing alcohol, thank you.
Wasn't she like like Michael Ducacus? Do I have that right? Wife?

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Right?

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well? No, he was the husband. No, no, no, but
I'm kidd he was the wife. Yeah, right, didn't they live?
He was a governor? Is that right? Yeah? Massachusetts?

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, wasn't she drinking after shave in the governor's mansion?

Speaker 2 (09:21):
She did mouthwash, after shave, vanilla extract, nail polish remover,
and the hairspray.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
How about that, By the way, I'll I'll just throw
it in there. Also, bat stuff's not good for you either,
just like helium.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Okay, back to the fun stuff. That's what it sounds like, yeah,
you got it. That's it is one of the calls
on hold Mike Jones because his story is crazy. Wait,
where's my joke?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Well, why wouldn't he call the hotline or did he
get it from Dustin who doesn't know the hotlines?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Busy line five? Hi Elliott the Morning. Hey, Yeah, Hi,
who's this?

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Hey Taylor? What's up buddy? Back in the day in
high school, I used to work at the Hallmark gift
stores back in the day, and we used to put
our mouth over the canisters and answer the phone with
a really a good voice. Now balloon needed straight out
of the canister, and I'm completely fine.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, no, no, But people are telling you if you
had access, if you had access to a canister, you
hit the canister all the time.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean it's not hairspray, But I
mean I guess you got the job done, all right, guys, face.

Speaker 2 (10:33):

Morning, what's up, Elliot?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
It's so bes fun. Hey, what's going on? Dude? I
so at my bar mitzvah. I passed out twice because
we had it at the synagogue, and we had all
these balloons.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
I couldn't leave all the balloons at the synagogue, so
we had to take them down.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
And I'm telling my age.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
But the popular song back then was Lonely by Acon,
So I was just trying to sing the whole song
truck to back me.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I have no body calm on. Very good, sir, very good,
thank you. Maybe this is how I finally hit the
notes and define gravity. But you gotta be careful. You

(11:33):
have to. You have to be careful. I've never heard
of anyone using it for falsetto.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Is this jonesy my Jones Elliott, good morning?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
What'd you?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
I have no idea what what is your story? I
have no idea what your story is. When I was eight,
I was at some street fair with the family, and.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
The balloons were hilarious with the voice.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
So I did two of them back to back, passed
out and fell over, and a whole bunch of people
crowded around.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
There was a whole big scene about it. So you
passed out.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
It's all fun until a little kid is down on
the ground.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Two full balloons. He said, how high are you trying
to get your voice? Wait till as high as the
sky tilis Wait, so.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
You didn't just do like Inhale talk then inhill you
in hill too straight and then talked.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
It was like I was houffing the balloon.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, no, you would just do enough and then you know,

Speaker 2 (12:35):

Gotta be careful, though, Gotta be careful. It is.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
It's the funniest, most dangerous thing. You know.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
A handful of those people who crowded around after he
passed out were a part of the group that thought
it was funny before he got sick. Yeah, little boy,
I ain't hailing on. Oh now, I can't stop imagining
what in eight year old Mike Jones looked like it
only had two tattoos line eight Hi.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Elliott in the Morning's man, Hey, what's going on?

So when I was a teenager, my family had a
such company, and I was probably seventeen eighteen.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
I ran a demolition crew and we were tearing down
a Hallmark.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
And me and some friends found a tank and one
of the friends halted and hopped it, happed it till
he went down.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Elliot, what is he? Okay? Yeah, Well, the funny thing
