Around the Room: Friends in Low Places

Published Mar 27, 2025, 1:31 PM
Danielle and Gandhi played a prank on our coworker, Sam's husband did this heartfelt thing, Froggy got asked a ridiculous question, Nate met a new friend in a weird place, Gandhi's recent episode of her podcast is a hoot, and Skeery went to a childhood memory.

It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran in the Morning show.

Let's go round the room. What's on your mind? I'll start with Danielle. All right.

So yesterday Gandhi and I got to do something really really cool with a bunch of the account executives here, clients that we've had from past and present and you know, hopefully in the future. And we had the best time together. But we played a practical joke on Alex Zagrin, who was like in charge of the whole event. We pretended that we thought the event was the next day, and we scared the hell out of it.

We texted him.

He calls us in the car. He goes, did you call me? We're like yeah, He's like, what's up, Mike, we're calling you because we think it's tomorrow. He's like, that's a joke, right. I'm like, no, that's not a joke. I'm like, we're serious. And he's like, oh my gosh. I got to make a few phone calls.

That was so great.

I felt like Gandhi in her little you know, her jokestern iss for like five minutes.

It was fast, it was glorious.

We had the best time was so much. We really didn't have an amazing time last night at this event, so thank you to everybody who came out of people stopping.

It was so great.

But you know who we couldn't rub off on?

Our boss.

Yeah, our program director would not play along. I even send him threatening Giffe's.

In Mary Adams.

He said he's nicer than us. That's what he said.

Get him in here. I could come in here and see all right, producer sandwich up with you.

I hope everyone finds a partnership like this. I have to send some love to my husband. I was having a rough day yesterday and he had to work twelve hours, so I was complaining. I'm like, oh my gosh, you're away for so long. What a what a bad shift for me for today. He took a break every chance he could to call me, sometimes for literally about seven seconds, like in between his patients. I must have had like ten phone calls from him yesterday just to be like, hey, love you, you're not alone, Okay, I'll see you tonight.

Click.

The sweetest thing, just the best. I hope everyone finds that level of support. So thank you, William. I love you very much.

I'm holding out for it. You'll get there, baby. I hope there's still time somewhere out there. Hey, Froggy, what's up?

So somebody asks me the most ridiculous question the other day and I for some reason, it's been stuck in my head and there is no right or wrong answer, and I want your answers. What would you rather do lose? Three toes are two fingers?

Oh?

Oh?

Toes from different feet all the same foot.

They didn't say it's hard to stand with toes. You need it for balance to stand, right. I know fingers you know, finger to grab it. Yeah, it's tough. It's a tough end. And it was like a really stupid, like passing question, and I'm like, well, wait a second. There really is no easy answer. There is no easy There is no fingers. Yeah, because fingers, you would you don't want to take off if you are vain because other people see it. But shoes cover your toes? Yeah?

But can you wear all your really nice shoes if you're missing toes? I don't know. I got to investigate this.

Can you give them? Can we get back to you on this?

Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I've had it thinking about it for days instead of heaving.

You all know the assignment. Yeah, you got to figure this out. Hey, Nate, what's up?

So?

I met a guy in the sauna yesterday, and I don't know if it's appropriate to ask him to be my friend because we met while we were just wearing towels. Why not? Why do I do that? How do you make that transition from hey, we're all sweaty and naked. It's not like hanging out. It's not like you're having sex with him, you're just in a saunoty. But I feel like that's what he thinks going to happen as we met in the friend I'm sure. Okay, okay, let let's back it up a little bit. How does one do this? Hey? You know what, I've had a lot of fun with you here. Would you have been my friend? Yeah? I don't know, Okay, I would get It's like asking, like in the high school, will you go study with me?

It's hard to do, right because we're just warning to do there in the sauna while you're in towels.

You wait till after so I wait until he's getting dressed. At a lot, you even answer my question, you ask point blank, will you be my friend? No, I didn't. That's my point. I no, no, no, Listen to me. Is that something you would do ask someone to be your friend? That's what I'm asking. How do I do that? I feel like I would like to hang out with the guysations with him, and it will if you will talk for forty five minutes. And then how do I make the How do I close the deal? I don't know. Okay, maybe when you're out of the sauna and you see him with clothes on, I have to linger in the locker room for him.

To using all the wrong words, close the deal and linger.

It's maybe you should have taken your towel off and like slapped.

Him with it on the butt. You're awkward. I mean, you become friends with someone because you just, yeah, have a conversation and you go, hey, where do you guys? Where do you go for lunch and stuff? I've always wanted to go there, you know, drop hints maybe it will invite you. Yeah, I just I just never heard anyone ask someone if they could be a friend. Be a friend, you know what I'm saying. I not that I want to be his friend. I always want to hang out.

Maybe you just start slow Nate, you like Spotty at the gym you work out.

Together, have to go back to the sauna at the same time today and the hopes that he's going to be there.

Maybe don't meet him in the sauna.

You maybe like slow it, slow it down a little bit. You're moving way too fast. Okay, maybe you don't wear a towel next time. No towel needed.

This air check.

We're sort of talking about this earlier. There were some people that the guys who will go into the sauna in a locker room, but they have to have a bathing suit on under the towel, or or you should should you go naked? That's the whole towel.

Well, with a towel, don't go naked?

Y yeah, yeah, yeah, with a towel absolutely. Okay. I like to wear flip flops in there, tho, because I don't know. Yeah, yeah, you got.

It, because there's a fungus among us.

Gandhi, what's up?

Okay, So I forgot to mention it yesterday, but my podcast did come out on Wednesday. This episode, we are getting to know our buddy Andrew, and I cannot tell you the last time I laughed this hard. My face was hurting. Josh jumped in on it. Diamond of course as part of it. It was a good time. Andrew is a problem for all of society. He tries to play nice, his evil side will be exposed. That's all I'm saying. So if you want to go give it a listen Sauce on the side on the iHeartRadio. App appreciate it.

You know, there is this thing about Andrew. He is the sweetest guy. He is a sweet, sweet guy. But if he's in the mood, you'll go, God, I'm gonna go take a walk in the sunshine. He'll go I yes.

Or he'll mutter things under his breath, like I hope that sun burnsy to death.

He'd he mocks me, He mocks us. Scary. What's up? So what Sauce on the Side this week's podcast Get to Know Andrew? Scary?

You know, I just think it's wild how you could walk into a place that you haven't been to as a child and then all the memories come back.

My wait, what yeah, a place so you haven't been to since you've been a child. My parents used to take me to this restaurant in Queen's called Parkside, We went there on Saturday night and I ha'n't been there in like twenty five thirty years, and I'm like, oh my god, the place looks the same, it feels the same, and I just felt at home when I went there, and it just brought back all these memories. Not to also mention the fact that.

The metal name plate next to the table said Frankie Valley, So I guess it was his table, So the guy from the Four Seasons, the group I was sitting at the Frankie Valley table. But but but beyond all that, the food, the way it all tastes, everything was still on point. So if you have a chance to go back in time to a place you haven't been in a while, think about what that is and do that today or tomorrow or this weekend.

Keep in mind, when Frankie Valley got his plaque there, he wasn't an oldies group. He was probably just a group. Yeah, I love you there you go, all right? Are you thinking about that place you used to go to as a kid you'ven't been there since, then give it a visit. I'm with you, scary. Thank you for sharing memories.
