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

Happy Thanksgiving, Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

So one day, we were sitting on an airplane and the guy comes on and says, you know, the flight attendant,

0:19.6

okay, we're now, you know, buckle up and this and that. And then he says, all right, as we've asked you, please turn off all cell phones. You must go to airplane mode now. I see on my meter here that four of you have not done it yet. We now know that four of you have not turned on your airplane mode.

0:37.9

Liar. And I'm thinking to myself, this guy is a liar. Yeah. He is full of crap. Yeah. How the hell does he know? But you know, as soon as he said that, all the dummies on the plane started looking at the phone. Oh, God, I hope I'm not on his meter. Yeah. I can see Elvis at that moment taking flight mode off his phone and being like, let's see if he says fuck.

0:56.0

Yeah.

0:56.1

Oh, did you just get an extra one on your meter? I love that. So the question is, and I'm going to give you an example in a moment, of how we lie to you, or how radio's been lying to you all these years. You're not supposed to give this a song.

1:32.6

Right.

1:36.6

No, but what we do do sometimes, a lot of times is we'll tabulate.

1:41.9

1:42.9

We need to play it more.

1:44.8

But when you call and request it, I'm not playing it just for you. And that song is very popular. We need to play it more. But when you call and request it,

2:00.3

I'm not playing it just for you. And that's a radio lie. But you think it's just for you. When it comes on, you get so excited and go, oh my gosh, it's my request. I was definitely the person who used to be like, oh, call with a request. I'm calling right now. And then I would call and nobody would ever play what I wanted them to play.

2:02.2

But the DJ would always say, I'm going to play it.

2:02.7

Of course.

2:03.9

2:04.6

Because we were lying to. Little gone. call with a request. I'm calling right now. And then I would call and nobody would ever play what I wanted them to play. But the DJ would always say I'm going to play it.
