00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning show.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: Wow, if you look closely, no matter where you go

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: in this world, you'll see the influencers dotting the mall

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: or the sidewalks around the city, dancing to some rhythm

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: they hear in their head, and or going out to

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: a restaurant and you know, recording themselves on their phone

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: while they're eating a waffle. And and sometimes they just

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: they're in the way. I mean, I know there's there's

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: an importance to influencing. I guess I don't know. I

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: guess we need them, Yeah, but sometimes there's just I

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: saw a video the other day. This woman was sitting

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: there at a restaurant and they brought her a bill

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: at the end of her lunch, and she was recording,

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: of course, the whole time on her phone. She's like, no, no, no, no, no,

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: I'm an influencer. I shouldn't pay for this. I'm doing

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 2: you a favor. But they're like, we don't know who

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: you are. You should know who I am, and should

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: know that I'm a vegetari and you served me meat

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: and whatever. And I'm looking at this self. The self

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: importance in this dumb woman's mind was just gross. Weren't

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: you in a party not too long ago?

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: Gandhi? Were there a bunch of influencers and it was

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 3: just like a night of living Hell.

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 4: Yes, I have been to I feel like a few

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 4: of them lately, and a ton of influencers show up.

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 4: And to your point, I know why they're there. You

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: want to spread the word, you want to tell everyone

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 4: you're here. There was no joy among the majority of

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 4: the people who were there. Nobody was interacting with each

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 4: other or trying to talk to new people or really

31
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 4: just having a moment with a really cool event. It

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: was just all about how many times do I take

33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 4: this one picture which was one hundred and fifty and

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: how can I make it look great? And it just

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 4: went back. It took me back to the thing we

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 4: talked about all the time, which is people are so

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 4: much more concerned, it seems, with what things look like

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: versus what things feel like. And I'm like, Okay, these

39
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: pictures and everything, they're going to look great online. But

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 4: I was here and I know what.

41
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: This was actually like.

42
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,639
Speaker 4: And I felt like the weirdo because I was cracking

43
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 4: up with my friends and I felt like that obnoxious

44
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: a hole. Who's the only person laughing there? Like we're

45
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: allowed to still do that.

46
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: Right of course?

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 2: Yes, you know I encourage it. I mean they're sunking

Speaker 3: I mean that's kind of what we do.

94
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 6: But that the thing that's different about your mouth The

95
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 6: thing that's different about I'm about to pay you a

96
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 6: couple of the thing that's different about us is we're very.

97
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: Selective about what we actually do talk about.

98
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, So like Danielle and Gandhi, some of us

99
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 6: are so Danielle and Gandhi just went on a vacation

100
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,000

101
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 6: good time. It was amazing the entire time they were

102
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 6: quote unquote influencing, right because we're we actually have integrity.

103
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 5: I just hate when they run into these mom and

104
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: pop small businesses and then shake them down for free

105
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 5: product or to be paid, and then if you don't,

106
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 5: then they go ahead and do the opposite and they

107
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: will crush you.

108
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: Even had an experience.

109
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: People are trying to make a living and sell their

110
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: products and make some money, Like you know what I mean, Like,

111
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: don't go in and ask.

112
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: For free crap, I tell you.

113
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: And if you want to be an influencer. And I

114
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: know that Dottie has I hope I'm saying his name correctly.

115
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: I don't want to, because he's he deserves it to

116
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: be pronounced right.

117
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: I guess.

118
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: But he actually found a guy, an influencer who went

119
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: to a restaurant and said, oh my god, you've got

120
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: to come try this. This food is from It's a

Speaker 2: world flavor restaurant with cuisine from another culture and you know,

122
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: stuff you would never really get in other restaurants in town.

123
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 2: You've got to try. He highlighted this guy. He actually

124
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: gave him a good report. And I want to see

125
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: more influencers doing that. Yeah, if they go into go

126
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: into a place and give it a lot of hell,

127
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: then it's like, okay, well all right, it sounded.

128
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: I'd rather you give me good reasons to go someplace.

129
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 4: For sure. Our friend Dina with the pin Care, she

130
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: deals with this a lot because she has a makeup

131
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: line and a lot of people will reach out to

132
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 4: her asking for free product or they'll try to tell

133
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: her I got your products and I loved it. If

134
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 4: you want me to review it, give me more for free,

135
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: and she can see if people have actually purchased, and

136
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,119
Speaker 4: a lot of times they haven't. And it's like, Dina

137
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 4: is a small business. So when you come and you

138
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: say I just need products for my entire bridal party,

139
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: that's crazy.

140
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: You can't do that to small bide that's crazy.

141
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: All right, So influencers I do love following influencers in

142
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: the wild on Instagram that you have like a fly

143
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: on the wall view of people out in public, you know,

144
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 2: trying to get the right shot on their camera, and

145
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: they look like idiots, just like that. We were actually

146
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: at a resort in the Caribbean not too long ago,

147
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: and we were at by the pool, you know, and have

148
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: some cocktails, and there was a guy with his camera

149
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: phone and a girl who was posing in these provocative

150
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: poses I guess, and he was trying to get it

151
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: just right, and they did it. It was like an

152
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: hour of them trying just to show her, you know,

153
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: being sexy, I guess at the pool at.

154
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: This rate resort. I mean, they look so they look

155
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: so embarrassing.

156
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: If it takes you that long to pose in a

157
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: sexy way, you're probably not sexy, you know what I mean?

158
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,160
