Today's daily highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Wow.

If you look closely, no matter where you go in this world, you'll see the influencers dotting

the mall or the sidewalks around the city, dancing to some rhythm they hear in their

head or going out to a restaurant and, you know, recording themselves on their phone while they're

eating a waffle and sometimes they just, they're in the way.

I mean, I know there's an importance to influencing, I guess. I don't know. I guess we need them. Yeah. But sometimes they're just, I saw a video the other day. This woman was sitting there at a restaurant and they brought her a bill at the end of her lunch and she was recording. Of course, the whole time on her's like no no no no no I'm an influencer I shouldn't pay for this I'm doing you a favor

but they're like we don't know who you are you should know who I am and should know that I'm a

vegetarian you serve me meat whatever I and I'm looking at this self in this self importance in this

dumb woman's mind was just gross weren't you in a party not too long ago, Gandhi, were there a bunch of influencers? And it was just like a night of living hell. Yes, I have been to. I feel like a few of them lately. And a ton of influencers show up. And to your point, I know why they're there. You want to spread the word. You want to tell everyone you're here. There was no joy among the majority of the people who were there. Nobody was interacting with each other or trying to talk to new people or really just having a moment with a really cool event. It was just all about how many times do I take this one picture, which was 150, and how can I make it look great? And it just went back. It took me back to the thing we talk about all the time, which is people are so much more concerned, it seems, with what things look like versus what things feel like. And I'm like, okay, these pictures and everything, they're going to look great online. But I was here, and I know what this was actually like. And I felt like the weirdo, because I was cracking up with my friends, and I felt like that obnoxious a-hole, who's the only person laughing there. Like, we're allowed to still do that, right? Of course. Yes, you're, no, I encourage it. I mean, they're sucking the joy out of your night. So there's this guy we follow. I love this guy. His name is Doddy, I think. D-A-A-A-D-I.

Yes.

Dad-E-D-E-A-D-I.

Daddy's snacks. Daddy's snacks. Yes. He's the best. You've seen him, right?

No. He goes, he mocks these influencers. Oh my God. Guys, we had to go down and get the matcha flavored waffles oh yeah the Indian guy right

I actually said him a message saying we want you on our show because he makes fun of

influencers and they and they get mad at him and they're threatening to sue him all the time he is

gold amazing this guy and he's spot on with his views.

I mean, I can play him now.
