Summary
It starts with a simple question about haggling at street fairs and hotels… and somehow turns into the show debating life insurance policies, key man clauses, and who’s plotting to push Elvis down the stairs for a payout. From negotiating hair tools from $400 to $150 to threatening cable companies for better rates, the Morning Show proves you should probably ask for a deal — just maybe not on someone’s life.

| 0:05.5 | Today's daily highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. |
| 0:09.5 | Hey, can we talk about haggling? |
| 0:11.0 | I know Scotty B. would be great for this conversation. |
| 0:13.5 | Scotty join us. |
| 0:14.4 | Scotty is the cheapest guy we know. |
| 0:15.9 | But, you know, nothing wrong with that. |
| 0:17.9 | Hey, so, you know, if you're at a street fair or arts and crafts fair or, you know, |
| 0:25.5 | in some foreign countries in their street markets, you're supposed to haggle with them. |
| 0:30.8 | Okay. Is haggle an okay word? I don't know. Is it agglow? Yeah. At Chinatown, I haggles, |
| 0:35.7 | I, you know, would haggle all the time. Of course, there's no set price. |
| 0:38.3 | No. Garage sales, people have all the time. Exactly. Tag sales, garage sales. But sometimes, yeah. What? If it's a $5 item, don't offer me a dollar because I'd rather keep it or donate it. Don't be a jackass. Well, so if you're, let's say, walking through the streets of Marrakesh. |
| 0:57.6 | Okay. Right. You know, they expect you to try to get the price down. For sure. Yeah. And if you walk in there and just buy something to walk out, they're like, what? No, hold on.

I want to go to the gap. Yeah. And say, you know what, these jeans, you're asking 110 for them? I think I'd give 70 for them. Yeah. What do you think? that would be nice shouldn't they offer some of their employees the ability to at least give you discounts? |
| 1:30.9 | I'm sure some of them have those incentives. |
| 1:33.2 | Let me remember Bed Bath & Beyond had the 20% off coupons? |
| 1:35.9 | For sure. |
| 1:37.4 | I don't know. I think... So, Scotty, are you a good haggler? |
| 1:40.9 | Not really. I don't like to be taken advantage of, but I'm kind of embarrassed to |
| 1:46.1 | haggle, believe it or not. Although last weekend, I was with my daughter and she sat down, |
| 1:51.2 | you know, someone's like, oh, let me do your hair at one of these, you know, expos. And she |
| 1:55.6 | wanted the tools that they used because her hair came out really nice. And they wanted $199 each, and my daughter wanted two of them. |
