Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
All Right, Gandhi, it's all good, Gandhi. Yes, oh there
you are. It's gonna be okay.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
What's gonna be okay?

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, I know that you know your dad's coming to
town tomorrow and you're a little on edge. You're a
little on edge with your dad.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Coming to just wait till you bring him in.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, that's happening, and we know you love it. We
know you love your dad very much.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Oh yeah, So why are you on edge? Why is
having a I guess any of us would be on
edge if our parents were on the way to town,
you know at some point.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Right.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, My dad's just he's a special guy. I love
him so much. He's one of my favorite people in
the world. But he is a handful, just in life
in general. So I have to kind of like dad
proof my apartment. I have to set things up for him.
I have to wonder what is he you know, he
just gets really restless and then he'll wander out. He
doesn't know where he's going or what he's doing. I'm
gonna have to go find them. I think I'm gonna

(00:55):
put an air tag in his pocket, just in case.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
He's just so freaking adorable.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, he's not your dad, and he's your dad.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
He's liability, correct, So your mom's not coming, just your dad,
just my dad.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
My dad was like, I want to come see my kiddo.
So he's coming to.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
The he loves his little Gandhi. So is he staying
with you?

Speaker 4 (01:11):
He is?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, So what are you doing to dad proof the apartment?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
First of all the joints gotta go.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Okay, all right, joints, and all your ash trays. Maybe
remove the ash trays as.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, right right, all of that, and then he is
definitely if there's more than one remote around, he will
ruin whatever the input and setting is on the TV.
So I have to make sure that he only has
access to one that is uncontrollable, and I think he'll
still probably ruin it.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Your dad doesn't fly, how's he getting here?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh he's flying?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, he's changed his waist now it was flying.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
He change his way. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
He also just got an iPhone, so I'm sure we're
going to be spending like three days just figuring out
his phone. In general, I kind of think that's why
he's going.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
He's actually getting on AE to go see his daughter,
who could set up his iPhone?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, I need you to fix them.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah. Well, I mean I want to meet your dad.
Can't you bring him in?

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Why are you so so hesitant in bringing your father
in to see us?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Well, I don't think he wants to come in, So
there's that part. What it's not about you, guys. He
likes his sleep. He's getting here tomorrow evening.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
You're being very stingy with your dad.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Listen, if you guys want to keep our licensing in
any way, he cannot come into the rooms because you'll
tell him, hey, you can't say X, Y and Z,
and he'll think it's hilarious to say those things and
loudly it's awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Of course, you know, Daniel lost her father. I lost
my mom and my dad. Yeah, but I do think
the times when they were alive, there were moments like that,
like your dad love love Roy to death. But there
are things he would say and you're like dad, of course.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Of course my favorite was when we would have a
topic on the show, when he would text me like, hey, Danny,
what does that mean? And then my head going, oh,
how to explain this? Oh without him.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
You know, yes, I remember when my mom and dad
figured out how they could listen to our show online
every day. We didn't, my mom, we didn't teach you
how to speak like that.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
A yes, Money still says that to me, Elvis, obviously
you did.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Right. Where were you raised?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
That's what she says. Where were you raised?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
We didn't raise you like that to speak about those topics.
Well you did, and that's what paid for your first
class airfare to see me.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Exactly what's up? Scary?

Speaker 5 (03:28):
I just want to know did you carefully plan out
the restaurants you're gonna go with your dad? Of course,
because right because it has to be you know how
they have kid approved restaurants. Yes, I've come to learn
that there's also parent approved restaurants. I'm like, it's got
to meet all these criteria as long as you have
that set that you're good, you're golden, right.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Nothing fancy, nothing, but he wants all of the good food.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
And he and he will insist on paying. He will
not allow you to pay.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
He will do that and it will always be a
battle because now he's my guest.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
He's on my territory, not in his mind, because you
are on this earth, and you're his guest on this planet.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yes, Froggy.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
Hearing all these stories from Gandhi makes me feel so
much better about my situation with my dad because my
dad does a lot of the same things, and I
always wonder is it just him, but it's not. It's
a lot of Like my dad will send me a
text and he'll say, hey, it's Dad, or he'll sign
it Dad. I'm like, love Dad, I have a caller ID.
You're saved in my phone as Dad. I know it's you.

(04:24):
You don't have to tell me. Yeah, yeah, but I
just want you to know.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
My dad would do that.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Toune right on the bottom, love Dad. Okay, to that point,
to that point, what does it hurt?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
I mean, why would we yell at them? I mean,
because you know what it's like, Okay, he said, love
Dad saying something and like, you don't have to tell
me who you are.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I know who you are.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
I know, but they do things that don't make sense,
Like I had to go to their house on Sunday
and go to my parents' house and my dad was
convinced his TV is broken. He was convinced, you to
a new TV. So we look at it, and I'm like, Dad,
you didn't turn this part on.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Oh. So when we're and he goes, hey, give me
a favorite.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
Don't tell your mom. We go inside. My mom's like,
what was wrong with the television? He just looks at me.
I'm like, oh, we it was. We fixed a couple
of things, we went over and it works now.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Now, how many of you have had that relationship with
your mom and dad where you have a don't tell mom,
don't tell your dad relationship? I did, definitely, because we
always knew what we could get away with with each parent.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Right.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
There are some things you could get away with your
father and something we didn't, and you couldn't.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Some things with your mom and you couldn't.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Dad was the softie in my house. Mom was more
of the heart of one. Dad was always the softy.
He always asked Dad for it, because you get for you.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I don't know, I have no idea, but so you ask.
What's stressful about him? One of the things he does.
Keep in mind, my father came here from India and
he has an accent. But when he hears someone else
with an accent, he assumes they can't speak English. So
he starts speaking to them like a crazy man. He
starts talking incredibly loud and then broken English, so he'd

(05:56):
be like me, no, want catch up. I say, Dad,
what the hell are you doing?

Speaker 5 (06:00):
What?

Speaker 2 (06:02):
You have an accent? You speaking English?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Please hang out with your dad. Give us an hour
with your father, please?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Please? Yeah, one hour. If my dad's gonna take like
twelve years off my life, we'll see. It was so cute.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
When Gandhi was in the hospital, I got to I
got to pick up her mom and dad at one point.
It was just so cute because the way they like,
you know, he's special, so we have to make sure
that we take care of him because he's like he's
like looked like he was lost, like walking around knowing
what he's looking for. It.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
It was so cute.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
I just loved it.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
He thought Daniel was black.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
He did. He was wait, he was waiting for me to.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Come at his and he told Gandhi's mom that I
he was looking for a black woman, but I wasn't
a black woman.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
So he just like he puts things together.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Wait wait wait, wait, wait wait wait wait, hold on,
Daniel's not black.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
I just found this out.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
