Start part I'm reading a party, the Elvis Duran After Party, All.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The Africa Party Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Let's Go My nineteen is David calling in from beautiful Destin, Florida.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Some of my favorite sandy beaches in Deston right gorgeous?
Speaker 5 (00:26):
Yeah, lovely morning, guys.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Why why are the phone with us when you could
be on the beach with your toes in the sand.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Very soon. Crab Island is coming, white sand, blue water,
eighty degrees.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Oh god, love it, David. Good for you the island. Yes, Scotty,
Crab Island, Scotty.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
It's a boat party.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
So yeah, I'm in. I'm in.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Hey, interesting question you asked us on the text. Do
you want to go ahead and ask it again in
the room because I want to.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I want to.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
I want to do this.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I like this.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
I've been listening to you guys for years upon years.
I won't say how long because it will age myself
and probably age you. But you know, I hear people
calling in and saying how much you've got them through something,
or they see you and they were like without you, guys,
I couldn't have got through this. It weighs for me.
I hear that, and I'm like, man, how much does
it weigh on them and on their shoulders that people
(01:29):
are putting so much of their emotions into you guys, like,
how do you handle it and cope it? Cope with it?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Well, I'll get started. But everyone has an opinion. I'm sure.
I tell you. I love it is a great question.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I love those calls from our listeners because you know,
first of all, they're listening to us. Second of all,
they're trusting us with very, very personal aspects of their lives,
and they're looking to us for either to give information
or to console them. Or here's the thing. I think
if our listeners as our friends, and if a friend
comes to me and says, hey, you know what, I
(02:03):
just want to say, thank you. You already got me through
all those days I was going to chemotherapy. You got
me through losing a parent or a best friend, and
I want to thank you for that. That makes us
feel pretty cool. I don't know, do you guys have
an answer for David.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I feel like that's what keeps us going a lot
of time, because you know, these hours are not easy,
you know, and it's not always easy to come in
every day and be happy and you know, get through
everything whatever. But when somebody tells you that you help
them get through something, you know, obviously you're not happy
with what they went through, but that's what gives you
the motivation to keep going. To know that you were
there for somebody, that you help somebody, that you were
(02:39):
by their side for the entire time. It's like a
very special relationship.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
I think it also goes both ways. It's a two
way street because as much as our listeners have said
we've helped them out, they've helped us out through a
lot of stuff too. Oh you like, we have heavy stuff,
we have dark stuff that happens. But being able to
come in here and play around with each other and
then get positive feedback somebody else maybe enjoyed it and
that helped them also helps us. So I think it's awesome,
not the sad things that happen to them, but being
(03:06):
able to do this.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's great. What we do is we do so many things.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
My favorite call, actually, David, is from someone who says
is saying, I'm on my way to a funeral.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I have to bury my best friend.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
But you guys just now talking about people that have
seven nipples.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That made me laugh. Okay, because we got to keep
in mind just because you're just because.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You're sad about something or you're afraid of something going
on in your life, doesn't mean you can't detour for
a second and escape that. And I'm hoping that you know,
twenty minutes or an hour, whatever time we have with
a listener every morning, I hope we offer that.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I hope so. But also keep in mind it is
to Gandhi's.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Point, it's really a two way street because we love
coming in here and cracking up with each other. We're
having a great time, and just to be able to
be a bunch of fools that talk about we're already
talking about anything all that important. It actually entertains people
and makes them feel better.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's pretty good. We would get paid to do it too.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Absolutely, And that's exactly what my wife said, is what
you guys are saying. But when I hear it from me,
I get sad for you guys, and I'm like, gosh,
so much pressure on you guys.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I will tell you though, you know, during the pandemic,
you know we had all these people calling in from
the emergency rooms who were dealing with death every day,
and truckers down on the road trying to get supplies
to the stores, and you know, they were going through
these angst filled moments and they dependent on us to
be there for them. And there were a couple of
days where it got really heavy in here, especially talking
(04:34):
to people working in hospitals. But it made us understand
what was going on in reality a lot better than
if we hadn't met them, And we shared that with
you with our listeners, and you got to see you
got to see a glimpse into an emergency room.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, what's up, Nate.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So when I was younger, I wanted to be a doctor, right,
I wanted to help people the way I was helped
when I was younger, and that obviously didn't happen. I
fell into this line of work. And that's one of
the things that I really get out of this job,
is the fact that we do help people, whether we
realize it or not. There's so many times where somebody
(05:11):
calls up and says that, I mean, there is even
a time where somebody said they we helped them to
not commit suicide. Right, So I don't know exactly what
we do from the listener's perspective that makes us such
an integral part of their day and the equivalent of
being a doctor.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But that's really what I get out of my job.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Oh, I can tell your mindless conversation that has just
wild them out there. Like you just said, Elvis, the
seven nipples. I love it.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Question that have we come in and we go All
we do is tell fart jokes and then somebody will
call in and go you were with me when I
was with chemo, and your fart jokes got me through.
And then exactly this is why we do it.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
I mean, David, how dare you call it mindless? I
put my whole brain into these.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Exist everything from her intell into these. But you know what,
it's just, David.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
If you have a friend who's having a lot of problems,
sometimes you don't always have the answer for their problems.
I know we don't, but just being there for your friend,
you know how it is.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And that's what we do.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
We're here every day, five days a week, and I
think if we just show up, then we just show up.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's all we have to do.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
And I do have one good point every time you
guys talk about food and eating, I've got to eat,
I'm like, my goshly then, I was just in New
York not long ago and ate at Joe's Pizza and
ate at Carmies, and my friend were there right now eating, yes,
at car Mines to night. But my gosh, the food
I'm every time you talk about it, I'm like, oh,
my gosh, I'm hunger.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's so crazy because like on National Pancake Day, we'll
be talking about pancakes and then we find out everyone
had pancakes that they we're all talking about. You know, no,
I hop I love that question, David, And having this
conversation with you is awesome and thanks for being there
for us.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I appreciate it very much. That's great.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
So thank you guys. And I do love you guys,
Like everybody says, you know, you're one of my friends
that I listen to and I have your mindless conversations
and I yell at people that can't get questions right.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
We need to Thanks for understanding and be on our
side on that. Thanks. David is here for David.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, Hello, Lady crab Islands, waiting for you to get
out there.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Thanks, David had a great day.
