1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the morning show.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: You know, we started our show two hours ago explaining

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: something that happened to us yesterday and last night. At

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: the very end of our show, we had already sort

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: of signed off and we were doing our podcast.

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: We were recording that, and.

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: Then everything just cut off, like the board, all our

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: microphones go through, and our headphones and everything.

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 4: It was so funny. I mean, it was funny.

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: Well if you saw the video, and I'll explaining that

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: in a second, because you have to see the video.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: Danielle, you're right.

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: And Scotty b who's you know, he's running Z one hundred,

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: our station here. It started with him. He's like, I

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on. And it was panic time, right,

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean, what was that?

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: Like? What did you experience when everything turned off?

18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 5: It's a feeling of helplessness. There's absolutely nothing that you

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 5: can do. Because I was talking to you guys, and

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 5: I realized that everything here just stopped. So if people

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 5: were listening at home or wherever they're listening, they heard nothing,

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 5: and there was nothing I could do about it. I

23
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 5: was pressing every button that there was here, and nothing happened.

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 5: So this is the worst nightmare in radio? Is that

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 5: that was?

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: Imagine you're driving your car down the highway and you're

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: going eighty miles an hour, and then all of a sudden,

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: nothing works. You cannot break, you can't stop the car,

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: you can't make it go faster, you can't turn left,

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: you can't turn right. You can't even turn on the

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: radio to enjoy your favorite music. Yeah, no air conditioning, No,

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: nothing works.

33
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: I think nothing works.

34
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have thought it was that funny if I

35
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: knew how serious it was going to turn into like

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: I thought, like I thought I was Aglect's first. I

37
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 4: thought it was Scotty's fault, of course, and then we

38
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: found that it was really serious during the day and

39
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 4: we were.

40
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: Like, oh damn, we all have no dares about that.

41
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: All that you do? Oh y yeah, yeah yeah. If

42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: you're in radio, you have the dead air nightmare.

43
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: And then you see in this video scary, yeah, scary

44
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: racing for impact.

45
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: I was trying to help Scotty with his problem, and

46
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: right there Live and Cam has caught it.

47
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: I was trying to fix it. I'm like, oh my god,

48
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: we're not getting any volume. The meters aren't moving like.

49
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: We're off the air, and for once, you know, we're

50
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: having awful technical issues and we can't blame Gandhi.

51
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 6: No, I didn't start the fire. For a second, I

52
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 6: looked around. I was like, what did I do?

53
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 5: Oh?

54
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Usually she spills things down the holes and then

55
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: fires erupted and then it didn't happen. It didn't, But anyway,

56
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: it was a major thing. Not only us, but all

57
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: five five stations, all five radio stations here at iHeart

58
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: in New York City on fifty fifth Street.

59
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: They all went dead, every one of them.

60
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: And I was very thankful that Scary was behind the

61
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: board and not running down the hallway when this happened,

62
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: because you know what he does. He's starts slamming people

63
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: into walls to get past you because.

64
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 3: Of the margin shase exactly. He's running to some room

65
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 3: that doesn't exist. We don't know where he's going.

66
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: But anyway, anyway, so if you watch the video, if

67
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: you're following at Elvis Duran's show on Instagram, there's just

68
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: a you got that footage, right, Gandhi?

69
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: Was that you that got that?

70
00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: No?

71
00:02:59,280 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 7: Was it? DM?

72
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 6: I asked Deanna if she could pull the footage because

73
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 6: everyone reacted so differently to the emergency. You know, Scary

74
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 6: was about to take a flight. Scotty was cursing, Danielle

75
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 6: was laughing. Nate was just sitting there like everybody calm.

76
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: So calm. I couldn't believe it.

77
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 2: Just started recording with Nate. There's a thin line between

78
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: calm and just brain. Dawn don't know what's going on.

79
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 3: I don't think he's.

80
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 7: Like, what's the corner of my eye, Jeff racing around

81
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 7: the corner and my engineer Jeff.

82
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: If engineer Jeff is racing, what else can I do?

83
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: Because I would have called him?

84
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm all right, all right, hold on, we have

85
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: the audio. Can we play it? Because I mean, there's

86
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: some f words. Okay, this is just a little synopsis.

87
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: Looks the craziness here is.

88
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 7: It's one thing if you pick your own fight, but

89
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 7: then for somebody to be expected to come to your

90
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 7: defense when you're in the wrong.

91
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: Can you turn off Scotti's mike? What's going on? We

92
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: got problem? We got problems, Houston. This is behind the

93
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: scenes right here, This is real.

94
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: Well, no, it's not behind the scenes. It's right here

95
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: in the front with us. Can you turn off Scottie's

96
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: Oh my dear god, we're doing off the place. Turn

97
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: off your microphone.

98
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: He said, he can't turn it off, and we were trying.

99
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: We tried to.

100
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, unplugged the micro right

101
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: now now, I'm all we're still recording, though we still

102
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: can't hear you recording.

103
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 3: Yes, we're still rolling, I say, maybe I'm live on

104
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: one hundred right now. Hello. Hello. Okay, you guys can

105
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: hear me right RaSE?

106
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Well I cannot hear you, so I'm ouldn't say anything.

107
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: Let's just wrap it, okay, guys. Oh what a great podcast. Everyone.

108
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: You gotta go part two tomorrow. Bye week. So, and

109
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: that's just a part of it. You can actually watch.

110
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: You could watch it if you go to watch the

111
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: fifteen minute morning show podcast. It's us doing a podcast

112
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: and it morphs into sheer terror. Anyway, So that's what

113
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: happened yesterday. But it went on and on all day,

114
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: and so our engineering team, along with the people who

115
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: are working for the company that's responsible for what happened,

116
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: they all worked around the clock, into the night and

117
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: into the morning to try to get our stations back

118
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: up and this morning. I sent a text to engineer

119
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: Josh and he said, yeah, you're gonna be okay, You're

120
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: back on. But it was it was an awful It's

121
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: all computers, right, It's computers that had too much to

122
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: do and not enough space to do. It is basically

123
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: the easiest way to describe it.

124
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 7: It's exactly right, Elvis. It's kind of like your phone

125
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 7: if you have all these applications running and then one

126
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 7: of them starts running slow, and then another one starts

127
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 7: running slow. That's exactly what was happening, right.

128
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: It turned everything off.

129
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: It was mass chaos, but of course we're used to

130
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: mass chaos here, so we just kind of Daniel you

131
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: can hear her laughing for the whole thing. Yeah, and uh, anyway,

132
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: but so we didn't know if we're going to come

133
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: back on today, and it's it was a major issue

134
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: because keep in mind, you know, we have five stations

135
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: on and they're generating revenue for a corporation, and so

136
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: when that gets turned off, that's a you know, that's

137
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: like like poking a hole in the gas tank and

138
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: all the fuel just flows out. So anyway, so thanks

139
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: to our heroes, of course, uh, the engineering team, Josh, you, Josh,

140
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: Josh and Jeff and Rachel and George and uh anyone

141
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: and everyone who had anything to do with getting us

142
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: back on and they had to sleep in bad hotels.

143
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, they should put you up at the

144
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: Saint Regis for doing this. But uh, anyway, it's without them,

145
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: and this is not the first time they've hopped on

146
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: a horse and rode into battle for us, and we

147
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: we appreciate them so much. Would be the last, without measure,

148
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: I know, no, there'll be more anyway, So there's that.

149
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was just a it was a crazy

150
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: day and we got we got to go home and

151
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: sleep in our beds. They stayed, they stayed, and they

152
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: took care of everything.

153
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 6: And I think we got the least chaotic of the

154
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 6: chaos because I heard that there were other studios where

155
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 6: people were speaking off the air, just talking to each

156
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 6: other and everything went out over the air. Yeah, that was.
