Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, okay, look, hamsters, goldfish. You know, for some reason,
they don't get the same respect as dogs and cats
when it comes to being our pets. Right, that is bad.
We should respect them just as much. They are God's creatures.
They are cuddly, fun friends. We should take care of them.
But sometimes, you know, sometimes things fall through the cracks,
(00:27):
including hamsters. I'm sure people have lost their hamsters. Isn't
how your hamster died? Oh, it's now time for how
did your hamster die? I don't think this is a
great thing to do. This is not good music has
Oh we can play the hamster dance. Oh, let's not
do that, all right. So we were talking about Gandhi's hamster. Yeah, Squeaky,
(00:51):
and it's it's evil demise.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yes. So I was playing in my dad's office and
I had the hamster out, and Squeaky was running around
on his desk and I kept putting my arm up
at the edge so Squeaky would not run off the edge.
And my dad looked at me and said, and I
will never forget it. Those things have instincts. It's not
going to run off the edge. So I moved my
little nine year old arm and Squeaky went right off
(01:15):
the edge and splated on the ground. I will never
forget the sound.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
And my dad looked at me and goes, oh no.
And I picked Squeaky up. She appeared to be okay.
Took her back to her cage, thought she needed some rust,
put her in there. In the morning, there was no
more Squeaky.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Oh no, Squeaky.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So you need you need to be careful with these
these these creatures, I mean they need they need tender,
loving care.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Absolutely. I well, I went away on vacation.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
My friend Travis was supposed to feed my two hamsters,
and we got back. He had forgotten to feed them,
and I was We went in and we found them
and they had passed away. I loved them so much.
The thing is, is one ate a part of the
other one, and that one ate a part of the
other one. So they actually were trying to eat each other.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
The wow.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I wonder if they had a conversation about that before
it happened. Hey, you eat me, I meant you.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I'm just I'm telling you. I have never heard of
a hamster meeting a natural end.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
No, like never.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Priscilla online nineteen. Let's see if I'm get her, can
you fill her up? Hey, Priscilla, Hi, good morning, Well,
good morning. So it was hot outside.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I mean it was summertime, right, Yes, it was the
best part of this story is that I bought this
hamster for a classmate whose hamster just passed away, and
he loved his hamster so much, so I went and
bought this hamster, hung out with it for like a
day with the intentions of giving it.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
As a gift.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And it was really hot out, and I put the hamster.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
By the ac because I thought it needed to cool off,
and I came back to check on it, and the
hamster was dead.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You know what, we should all be ashamed of ourselves.
Me included me too, Gandhi's dad absolutely all right, Well,
so did you replace this hamster or did you decide
if hamsters aren't for me?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Nope, I went back and got another one.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I never told him that story. And then it turns out,
like less than a week later, he also killed that
hamster by mistake.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
So I give anybody that.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
It was really hot out.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
You're running a kill house for hamster.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Seriously, I was in fifth grade.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
I didn't know any better.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I didn't I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But maybe we should have hamsters in fifth grade. I
don't know, just asking you solution.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No more hamsters. We cannot We cannot take care of
them the way they need to.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
Be taken care of.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
All right, Priscilla, thank you. One more call from Dawn
because this is depressing me. I'm sad. We thought that
you who thought this would be a fun conversation. This
is awful. Hi don how you doing?
Speaker 7 (03:51):
Hi good? How are you so?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
You're hampster? You're hampster? How did your hampster die? This
isn't good.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
So my sister and I were out. We come home
and our hamster used to love to run on one
of those little hamster wheels. And one day we came
home and we found Snowball underneath the hamster wheel and
he had died.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Oh he got stuck under the wheel, Snowball, he.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Got stuck under the wheel, Snowball.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Can we just ee racist entiugh conversation. I'm not liking
this at all.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
This is about owning a hamster, you know? Okay, Well,
ways they could die.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Now we know what's the lesson learned here, then what
is the lesson learned?
Speaker 6 (04:31):
The lesson is, I mean, death happens, right, so for seriously,
for some kids, I guess the lesson it's easier to
say goodbye to a hamster than a family member, like.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Nazis. You're easing them into loss.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Yes, because you know how exactly you Back in the day,
our forefathers had animals, and that's how kids learned about death.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
The baby boat didn't make it. You know what. You know,
little Billy, one day Grandpa will leave us wheel as well.
So let's keep an eye on the hamsters. Maybe they'll
teach it. Would we started off with your pet rock,
and then your hamster, and then grandma.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
By the way, my mom and dad were famous for
replacing cats saying say, no, this is kitty. They change
color when they get older. I mean no, they don't,
Yes they do, Little Elvis, I mean, mom, I'm twenty
years old.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I know the difference. My goodness, don thanks for your call.
I appreciate it. Oh my god, have a great day.
Will see that.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
With a teddy with a monkey, Spencer had stinky monkey
was like his little stuff monkey, and we kept losing
this monkey everywhere, So I would order a new one,
but never looked the same because the old one was old, battered,
And I would have it pretend it rang the doorbell
and it was sitting in the front of the house,
and I'd say he went and got his hair done
and he got washing and it worked for a couple
of years.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
They can see through that.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
BS. Absolutely, we got to move on. This is just
too sad, scary.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Well, I think it was onto something because when I
was seven years old, Jonathan down the block had a
gerbil and he had a ferret.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
He had both of it, he had all the all
the above.
Speaker 8 (06:09):
The gerbil got out of the tank, ran across the porch,
but the porch is on the third floor, and it
ran through the crack and it fell on its head
and it had head trauma. And I had to learn
the hard way. But this is life versus death. So honestly,
I think, well, I mean the way you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Death, we're talking about people who don't know how to
take care of their pets, and we're saying this is
a good thing.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
There's nothing good about any of this. I know better
than have sacrifice a gerbil.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Than you sacrifice anything no sacrifice anything scary.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
That was scary. They said that we don't agree with him.
I will tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
We used to have a pool table and the pool
table was a huge aquarium and a friend of mine
hit a pool bowl off of the pool table into
the aquarium. The whole thing exploded. It was fish.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Flopping or whatever. And I'm trying to everything I can
do to.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Get these fish and save them. We got to be
more careful.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
That happened in my house too, with a baseball bat
my brother hit He hit the fish tag with the
baseball bat and the fish went everywhere.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
But the best part was my mom by was in
the room. She's like, what happened?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
My brother's standing there with the bat. He's like, I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Can we change the subject? I really want to stop
this now.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I think there should be a p s A on
why we shouldn't have pets. No nobody gets a pet ever.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
For some scary can't even keep a sandwich or a
plant alive. He is no business having. Yeah, he can't
even keep his succulent alive. He kills cactus.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
He watered it every time.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
No pets allowed. Should we get into the three things
we need? To know from Gandhi, is that where we
are here?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Sure? I think we should.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, let's try to add some credibility to the stupid show,
oh Man,
