Elvie Duran in the Morning show. Here's one of our world famous phone pranks, Pelvis Elvis Duran phone tap.

The email coming into his headquarters reads, Dear Elvis Duran, my husband Roberto, Well, he and I have been arguing about this money we owe to Scholastic. You know Scholastic children's books. I love Scholastic books. Anyway, we're arguing about the Scholastic book account for our three year old son, Michael. You see, Scholastic keeps calling asking for payment on books we've already returned. If they call one more time, Roberto

is going to go insane. I would love it for you to call him demanding payment one more time and watch him go nuts. All right, well, this comes to us from Michelle. Danielle is going to be the collections agent from Scholastic Books. The Michelle is going to come in later to help out with a phone tap. Let's listen in.
