1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Heroes to me are people that have this strength that

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: they don't know they have. Like I told you earlier,

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: my friend Dana who was hit by a bicyclist in

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: Central Park. She's supposed to be doing a marathon this

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: past weekend. She couldn't because she fractured her ribs and

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: she hit her head. She went out yesterday to Central

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: Park and we started with her and we left after

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: six miles. She continued to walk through crowded, sunny Central

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: Park for twenty six point two miles, the length of

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: a marathon. She's my hero, My husband Alex, and everyone

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: who's going through chemotherapy or radiation and went through cancer

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: and came out the other end, and even those who

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: are still struggling and fighting it, or those who actually

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: they try their best and they didn't beat it. Those

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: are heroes. We have someone here in our lives who

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: I think is a hero, and I'm not going to

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: use his name. He has been pushed and tried and

19
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: challenged to the point where I don't know if I

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: can handle it. I think I would break. And every

21
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: time he seems to be close to breaking, we all

22
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: recognize it and we bring him back up because he's

23
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: our hero. Think about who in your life is your

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: hero who's fighting and they're doing everything they can to

25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: survive and to get through whatever hell they're going through.

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: Give him a pound the back, give him a hug,

27
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, I'm proud of you. Good

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: for you. You're my hero. So think about it. Do

29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: you have someone someone in mind in your life? You

30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: don't even want to use your name, but can I

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: use their name if you if you want? Right now?

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: Mine is my boyfriend Brandon, because he's been going through

33
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: something for years that a couple of you know about

34
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: on the show and there was some big, big news

35
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: and a big breakthrough on Friday, and I'm so proud

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: of him and I'm so happy and I just love

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: him at least my hero. And was he close to

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: breaking several times during that challenge? You know, I would

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: say there were times he did break absolutely and it

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: was really really tough for him, but he got back

41
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: up every time and he took care of it, took

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: care of what he needed to do. Hey, look the

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Brandons and our friends and who are going through hell whatever,

44
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: and maybe you're going through hell, you know, just imagine

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: there is an end to the tunnel. You're gonna get

46
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: out in the light again. You're gonna see the light.

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: The light's gonna shine on you and warm you up

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: like the sun on the beach, and you're gonna be

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: so much stronger until you get there. Though it's it

50
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: sucks hell, yeah, it does. But to the heroes. Recognize

51
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: your heroes, call him up, go to them and physically

52
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: hug them and say I just love you so much,

53
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: and let him know how proud you are of them.

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: And that's it. That's that's my moment. I thought i'd

55
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: just share with you. That's a good moment. I want

56
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: to go give people hugs now you should, yeah, rather

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: than dangerous animals, yeah, or spraying people with spray bottles.

58
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: I put the bottle in my backpack for good. Thank

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: you for putting a welcome though. I mean, we have

60
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: we have heroes amongst us, we do. I mean, you know,

61
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Froggy in Nate. Through all the awful medical things you

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: guys have been through, you're lucky to be alive. You guys,

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: look how you fought, you came out the other side.

64
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: That's how I look at it. I'm four and o

65
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: on life. I almost died four times in my life

66
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: and I'm here. I beat it. I'm still alive. Froggy,

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: you're what two? Three? And oh? Yeah. I remember seeing

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: people who had been in a situation that I was in,

69
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: and I would say to myself, I could never do that.

70
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: But when you're in that situation, you have no choice

71
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: except to do it, and you fight to get through it. Yeah,

72
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: and that's only choice you have. You're always stronger than

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: you think you are, always, And you know, I'm always

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: talking about how we we need things to celebrate. It

75
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: could be something as fun and easy as a birthday,

76
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: or something as important as someone who is living when

77
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be. They got through it because they fought.

78
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: They found courage within that they didn't know they had.

79
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: Think about that. Maybe you're going through something right now

80
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: as you listen to this, Look look at where you are,

81
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: Look what you've come through, Look what look at what

82
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: you've tolerated. You were stronger than you give yourself credit

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: for being. Never forget that. Give yourself some credit. And

84
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: you know what, And like I said, if you know

85
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: someone who deserves the credit, call him, up right now,

86
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: turn this stupid show off and spend a moment with them,

87
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: and call them and say, hey, man, good for you.

88
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm so so proud of you. You were stronger than

89
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: you'll ever know. So what that said. Make that call,

90
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: and then turn us right back on. Yes, we'll leave

91
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: it at that.
