00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: I don't know where I got this signs that you're

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: a flake. Do you think that you could qualify as

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: being a flake when it comes to certain things?

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 3: Certain things? I'm sure.

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, it depends who you ask, I'm sure.

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: So I went down the list. I'm thinking, Okay, let

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: me see how many of these things apply to me,

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: and maybe you should play along as well. Signs are

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: a flake who people cannot rely on. Number One, you

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: arrive late to everything. I don't do yeh yeah, everything.

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: I mean, don't you have that? And I know we

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: have a mutual friend or two, but I know we

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: have other people in our own circles, outside the circle

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: who are late every single time. Oh yeah, I mean

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: it's just a known fact.

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: It's infuriating. I find it rude. My sister's one of

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: these people. And her response is that she's optimistic and

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: that is why she's late to everything because they're faster.

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: Okay, but she never does right. Never signs you're a flake.

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: Your non committal, Like you never commit to anything. If

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: someone says, hey, can we we're having a dinner party,

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: you never ever commit. You're like m and you wait

24
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: until sometimes later, well i'm too Yeah, I'll have to

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: let you know. Or maybe there's nothing wrong with saying that.

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: Well, I guess I do that to him.

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: Hey, have you ever been invited to a dinner or

28
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: something and you you really want to ask? Well, who

29
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: else is going to be there?

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: All the time? That's the make or break right there?

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: I know, but it's it's so obvious, right, It's like,

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: did you invite? I mean, because they're in is make

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: or break? There are people that they are friends with.

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 2: I don't want to hang out.

35
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: With, absolutely, but I do have one person I can

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: ask that too, and she knows right away. Sometimes even

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: before I ask, she'll give me the list.

38
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: She'll say, hey, by the way, is going to be here? Oh?

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: Ways that you could be considered a flake. You're always

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: keeping your options open. You have something you feel stressed about,

41
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: all the options you have at your disposal. You'd like

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: to leave things till the last minute because you have

43
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: that grass is always greener on the other side syndrome

44
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: going on, Yeah, I guess that kind of falls in

45
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: place with the noncommittal thing totally. You always fall behind

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: with deadlines. See this is why I never create deadlines.

47
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: You know, deadlines, especially in the workplace, in a professional atmosphere,

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: people say, okay, I need this done. I need it

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: done by five pm to day. The big thing here

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: at a iHeart is end of business day. It must

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: be done by the end of the business day to day.

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: Eh.

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a floating timeline, isn't it? Can we lit them?

54
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: Like who's business day? In China? Might still be going.

55
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 2: Ways that you could perceive be perceived as a little flaky.

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: You're very quick to make promises. Sometimes you don't stop

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: and think about what you're promising to do and get

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: done right. How about spontaneity. Sometimes spontaneity makes other people nervous.

59
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: Look spontanady's fun, right, Like oh, let's just let's let

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: let's just go to the important catch a flight out

61
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: of here. Where are we going? I don't care, ye,

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: let's just well. It drives other people into an anxiety,

63
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 2: a high level of anxiety, like, well, they have kids,

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: they have to make plans, they have to do like

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 2: scary gets mad and his friends who are married with kids. Hey,

66
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: hey man, let's go let's go out and have dinner tonight. Well,

67
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: I can't. Oh man, you always say no, Well, I

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: know they have to get a babysitter. There's things they

69
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: gotta do them, like.

70
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: Ten minutes where he's walking out the door.

71
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: I'm the king of last minute because in my world

72
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: I can make those snap decisions and just go why no.

73
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: But you gotta keep you on it. It's not just

74
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: your world when you involve other people.

75
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: Right, But does that make me a flake?

76
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: Is that a flake? Yes? No, you come not a flake,

77
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: but you come across as being a little a little much,

78
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: a little bit.

79
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: I get it.

80
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: You're you're in the same boat. Yeah, you're not easy

81
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: to trust you. Now, what is this? Let me read it?

82
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: Might arge your feelers when people say that they can't

83
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: trust you, but it makes sense, especially if you said

84
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: you'd be there for them, but then at the last

85
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: minute it how about a rain check? Can we do

86
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: this another time? Okay?

87
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's not cool.

88
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: That's not good. You say yes when you really don't

89
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: want to do things. See, I'm guilty of that.

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: I think we've all been there.

91
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: You say yes, you're like uh, and then you find

92
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: that last minute excuse to get out of it. All right,

93
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what about you, Like, what's your weakness

94
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: that you wish you could or you should focus in

95
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: on and try to fix.

96
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: Probably the committal thing. I'm really noncommittal about everything in

97
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: my life, even you know, when it comes to work,

98
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: signing contracts and stuff, I sweat. I'm like, oh, how

99
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: many years come on? I don't know what I'm gonna

100
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: be doing by then. But I think I should be

101
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: a little more committal with things and just say yes

102
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: and then be excited about the thing I said yes too,

103
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: instead of looking at it like a sentence.

104
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: Well, I'm in the committal bandwagon as well, because a

105
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: lot of times, and you guys know, people ask me, oh,

106
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: can you come do this? You want to go to

107
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: this party? I'm like no, I don't even think about it.

108
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: It's like, nah, I'd rather not and I don't want

109
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: to commit to that. And maybe it's the last minute.

110
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: If you have room for me, maybe I'll go. It's

111
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: not good for you if you're planning out a table

112
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: setting or something. That's what you foggy.

113
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 5: Definitely procrastination, Oh god, yes, mine's procrastination. Like for example,

114
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 5: with work, like emails, they pile up and then before

115
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 5: I'm like, you know what, I'll answer that email later.

116
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 5: I'll answer that email later, and then I know when

117
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 5: they get back to it, and then it's last minute

118
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: and I'm trying to burn through them all. I need

119
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 5: to get better about that.

120
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: Okay, But the deadline thing, when people give you a deadline,

121
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: don't ask me about it until the deadline comes, because

122
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: I will wait until that deadline and then drop everything

123
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: I need to do at that time, and people get

124
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: really stressed. Well, the deadline is tomorrow. I'm like, right,

125
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: and it's today. Why are you asking this?

126
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: It's the mark and your assignments or reports? They most

127
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: kids wait till the very last minute to get it

128
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: done and hands it in like very rare. Do kids

129
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: work ahead?

130
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: You know I'm an old kid.

131
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 5: Then it really does feel good when you do it

132
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 5: ahead of time and get it done.

133
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know.

134
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: I have no idea you have to do. What does

135
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: that feeling feel like? Wait, Daniel, what about you?

136
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

137
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: Same thing like just like saying I want to do something,

138
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: saying yes, and then leading up to it, humming and

139
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: hiring about it. Why did I say yes? I shouldn't

140
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: have said yes? And then and then I wind up

141
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: going and enjoying myself and having a good time.

142
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: So that was cool.

143
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

144
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: My thing with Alex is I'll say, hey, x y Z,

145
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: they invited us to their house this tonight for a

146
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: dinner party, and he'll go, okay, let's go, and then

147
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: he'll get home from herk NA, what do you mean, Na?

148
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: That means? That means that puts me in the middle.

149
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: Now I have to call them and come up with

150
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: an excuse.

151
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: NA.

152
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: What Yes, carry.

153
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 4: Mine is rsvping for a wedding because I wait till

154
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: the very last minute and then beyond the deadline, well

155
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 4: beyond the deadline. Yes, I hate going to weddings, so

156
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 4: it's like, oh my god, what's my answer going to be?

157
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: And then I usually wind up going, But I you know,

158
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 4: that's monstrous, man, I tell them too late.

159
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: Sorry, But if you don't want to go, don't go.

160
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: I mean it gets to the point where if you

161
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: just don't want to go, be absolute about it, don't

162
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: don't like. I think the whole point of that that

163
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: one on this list is commit commit to doing it

164
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: or commit to not doing it, just and just once

165
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: you commit either way, stick with it. Right. Yeah, Yeah,

166
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: Tanisha Online twenty has a suggestion for all of us

167
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: when people invite us somewhere, Yes, Tanisha, help us out

168
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: with this.

169
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I have the best response for when someone

170
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 6: asked to come out somewhere. I always say, oh, that

171
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 6: sounds fun, so I'm not necessarily committing to it. But

172
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 6: I also don't want to shoot down their plans so

173
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 6: they feel bad about, you know, not being interested in going.

174
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: If if I asked Tanisha, if I said, Hey, we're

175
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: getting together for dinner tonight, if you told me that

176
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: sounds fun, I think I would assume you're going to

177
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: be there. Is that wrong? Maybe maybe I shouldn't think that,

178
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: Maybe you shouldn't.

179
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 6: I'm just letting you know that it sounds like a

180
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 6: fun plant, but I'm not telling you that I'm going

181
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 6: to be there.

182
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.

183
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: If I say something that sounds awesome, it doesn't mean

184
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: I'm committing to go.

185
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: It sounds like to me. Can I just point out

186
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: Elvis does all the time in the most.

187
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: When scary almost having a party, Hey, that sounds like

188
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: a great time.

189
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: Have a blast.

190
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 6: Now.

191
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: My favorite line is, hey, tell her when I said hello.

192
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: But he leaves to think he's going because he's like,

193
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: have a great time. Tell him. I said, hi, but

194
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: if you were to just leave it, Oh my gosh,

195
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: that sounds like a great time. I want to see

196
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: your ass there.

197
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tanisha, I don't know. Ts you better be your

198
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: dinner tonight. I'm telling you right now.

199
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what, Elvis. That sounds like a lot

200
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 6: of fun.

201
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, Tisha, thank you for listening today.

202
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: We appreciate your contribution.

203
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: That's as brilliant as it is offensive. By the way,

204
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: when people do that that you think that they're committing

205
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: but they're not.

206
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, what was it? What was the other

207
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: line that Lee Schreger used the other day.

208
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: When somebody says or shows you a picture, you're supposed

209
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: to be like, well, that, isn't that something?

210
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, you don't like something something?

211
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: Is that something? Which could be like that's crap, that's right, great,

212
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm not going to commit either way.

213
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: Like pictures of people's children. He's like, oh that's something.

214
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: Oh, that's something.
