Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Okay, so Diamond, Diamond, Diamond, here we go, pull up Diamond.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
So Scary.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We were just talking, by the way, about how neighborhoods
change over time, right, gentrification of neighborhoods. There are a
lot of neighborhoods. I'm not going to use any names,
but I was told when I moved to New York City,
don't go to those neighborhoods at night. Whatever if you do,
don't stop at stop signs. I'm like, Okay, you know,
stupid Southerner. I'll do what you say. But now those
neighborhoods are becoming some of the highest rent neighborhoods in
(00:34):
New York City because things change, right, without naming names.
So we were talking about neighborhoods here during the song, and
Gandhi reminded Scary of a conversation he had with Diamond. Yes,
go ahead, what was that conversation.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Well, I know for a fact that Scary told Diamond
he is afraid of her neighborhood because they're going to
steal his car. And he's saying, I never said that.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I know you said that for sure. Said that.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You know what, He also said, he's afraid to go
to your neighborhood because either A they think he's selling
drugs or B he's buying drugs.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And I'm thinking, you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Someone's neighborhood you're talking about I mean, your neighborhood is
your is your safety zone, whether it's the outsiders know
it or not.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I'm not judging.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
I'm just going by I'm going by past experiences and stuff.
I was told as a kid, don't go to those neighborhoods.
Just don't go there, because.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
That's that's current day.
Speaker 7 (01:35):
No, what's scary.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
This is why, okay, this is why people in other
parts of the country get the wrong impression with where
a lot of us live. Like for example, when I
went to college, someone found out that I was from
the Bronx. The first thing the person said to me was.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Oh, do you have a gun?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Because you shoot people.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I was like, what are The person was scary.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yes, it's easier to just to say, yes, I shoot everyone.
I see.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
That's what I do.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I go home, I open the front door and start shooting.
I'm just like a movie.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It would be like if Diamond told you quote I'm
not coming to your neighborhood because I'll get arrested.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
There is a chance that could happen. You play.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
It works in both directions, but I'm just saying that.
What I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Is is a realistic scenario that could you know, things
could happen.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
So I mean, I'm not I hang out with Diamonds.
I love her so much. She's like to me.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
As long as you take it to a nice As
long as you take if you can meet up.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
With diamond a nice, safe white area, you're fine.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Grown Manhattan is great areas. Problem I will not go into.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
You're coming and I want you to bring your car
and we're going to leave it on the street, since
you think that someone is going to skill it.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I'll be honest. Scary nobody.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well, let me tell you, you know, Scary Scary has
is not alone. There are a lot of people who
have these preconceived ideas and they remember seeing stories when
they were a kid on TV and it was Scary
is from Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So he thinks he knows everything about all parts of Brooklyn. Okay, whatever,
it's more than I know. Don't you remember this story?
And I've told you a million times. I live out
in the middle of the country, in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Scary drove his guidomobile out to my house during the
day a picnic with forty people. He put the club
on his steering wheel in my driveway, close the door,
and whip turned.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The alarm on. I mean, what are you doing? What
are you doing? Well, you know, you never know someone's
gonna try to steal your car.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Scary, No one's stealing cars, No one just because you
have this idea in your mind, you're you're afraid to
go to one neighborhood or even in the middle of Hooterville.
Out here you think they're about to steal your car.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It's a dangerous place.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
There's certain places they say, don't stop for red lights
in the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
People say that that they hear that.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Neighborhood lives there. She goes out all this.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Can I come through your neighborhood at three o'clock in
the morning and just stop at a red light?
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Can just hang out and chilly?
Speaker 7 (04:01):
There's literally no one outside, Like I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I wouldn't hang out in chill at a stop plight
on Park Avenue in the city. It's like it's you know,
I don't think that's much as much a neighborhood thing
as it is. You know, at three am, every place
is kind of scary to me at three am.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
And every place also, mind you, Scary lives pretty much
on top of the mall that gets shot up all
the time. So I don't know where this fear is
coming from. Scotty wouldn't drop me off one day because
he was scared of my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
He said, there are needles everywhere.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'm like, oh, yeah, they're pine needles off old Christmas trees.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
I have the citizen app, I see what goes on.
I get the report.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Please, Well, Diamond, the good news is you're keeping people
like Scary out of your neighborhood experience exactly. You know,
it's interesting because you're from here, Scary. I'm not originally
from here, but I moved here when you were a kid.
I moved here in the nineteen eighties. Yeah, and so
I was told by people who were very rich white people,
(05:09):
these are the places you don't go at night. So
we're like, okay, I'm not from here, so I'll just
listen to what they say. And then over the years
I've learned that they were wrong the whole time. It's
in the Billy Joel song. You may be right, I
walked style alone. But I'm like, Bedford Stuyvesant is great.
I go there with bedtime, bed sty bed Stye used
to have a lot of reports of a lot of
shifty stuff going on years and years ago.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No longer. Bedstie's now the highest some of the highest
rents in New York City.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
That's right, so true?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Okay, okay, So Diamond, what say you, Diamond?
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Well scary was a little offended by this, But I'm like,
I don't think a little black girl could go through
the town that he grew up in right now by
myself today or when you were.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Let's talk about that.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You're from benson Hurst, Brooklyn, which has a history of
a lot of stories about kids beating other kids up
with baseball.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Once again, those are fifty year old stories, like okay,
so are.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
The ones about what are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I can't do this.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
So there's no gunshots in the daytime over where you live,
no literally dodging bullets?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Are you? Here's what they do? What neighbor do you
live in? Diamond?
Speaker 7 (06:16):
I live in Brownsville and if you google it, we
have a high crime rate. But I don't hear gunshots.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
But here's what they do, just like at Disney World
in Brownsville. If they see scary driving down the street.
At disney World, they have all the speakers with sound
effects in the trees. They turn on gunshots just to
scare people are scary as here comes scary. Turn on
the machine guns.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
And I don't know if I should be doing that alone.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You don't.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I don't have to be in my car the whole time.
You need I need an escort.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
No, First of all, you're not that important. But also
number two, just drive through.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Cat White people don't go to Brownsville. Right, that's literally
what you're saying. I mean exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
The name of the town tells it, gives you instructions.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Scary, there's no supper Marldon Brownsville. Scary, No, not at
all
