Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, happy days, Happy days, Happy days are here again.
It's ninety five point one WayV we made it, Diane.
Something that's very specific to me and maybe all the
other people who significant others happened to be a teacher
and chose to not be paid over the summer because
they want more during the actual teaching season. That's very
(00:22):
specific to me in my life. But my wife has
been paid. We got paid again.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We're in the monas.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Her last paycheck was June eighteenth, I believe, and she
just got paid again for the first time.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
What a great feeling.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
So this summer, every summer, the dark time in my
life is always August fifteenth through September fifteenth. That's the
worst month of the year for me.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Luckily she got paid a little early. She got paid today,
So officially I'm off the hook.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Now you can party.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Well, I'm off the hook for paying for her gas
for her because I'll tell you what, all that money
she saves during the entire year to survive that three
months that's gone in two Oh yeah, yeah, I have
been in this game long enough to know that August
fifteenth through through her next paycheck, which is now, it's
(01:18):
an ugly month in our house. We are we are barren.
We're in Ramenford dinner. Sometimes we need to figure something out,
but it's over. We made it. Congratulations to all the
significant others and all the teachers that are getting paid
this week for the first time in three months.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You did a case. Can't you extend that where you
get paid less during the year, but it's you get
paid over the summer or is that just specific too?
That's specific, okay, because I know a teacher that told
me that, but it's in a different school district. That
is that they can opt to do that.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
That is specific the districts. And I don't even think
my wife would do that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And smaller paychecks all year obviously, but then you still
get paid over the summer.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, that would make a lot of back into it.
In case. I definitely have never brought that up before. Yeah,
multiple times, all the time, every July, and I get
the same answer, why would I do that? And your
she's right, why not get a bigger paycheck when you
got a rich husband who's paying for everything?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, congratulations, she don't have one of those. Let's just
get that out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Let the spending begin.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, Yeah, honey, we got a lot of bills to pay.
That are That's true. I got a lot of emails
in the last few days.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It sounded good.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Water bill is overdue, I know.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Don't even talk about the electric I'm not even going there.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Oh that one's been not even going there, especially with
a pool.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Now, all right, all right, well, congratulations, it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Just got sad again. Here's a question that Shirley won't
be taken the wrong way. It's ninety five point one
WayV The Mike and Diane Show. When what age can
I start leaving kids home alone? Hmmm, that is a
good question, like, and I'm not saying I know the
answers probably Well, it depends on the kid. We're talking general, Like,
(03:08):
I know, there's definitely some kids that are more mature
and can be left alone more than other kids. And
I'm certainly not asking because I want to leave my
kids alone. Sure it would be a lot easier sometimes,
but I'm talking you know, I understand that. The other
thing is timeframe, like are you leaving them for twenty minutes?
Are you leaving them for three hours? True? I'm just
(03:31):
thinking about like now that the kids are going back
to school and we are kind of in a place
where we're hiring our first babysitters, Like we haven't had
to hire a babysitter ever. Now we are to a
point where we are having to hire a babysitter because
you know, circumstances change for everybody, including your parents, who
(03:51):
might be the ones that have been helping you all
these years. Absolutely now I'm just in my head thinking,
like out loud to you all publicly, how long until
I can leave Landing alone? Like I know, I guess
I'll use him specifically because like he's older. He's older,
he's eight, So it's like I'm not actually thinking about
(04:13):
leave him alone. I've never actually left him alone, So
back off, you weirdos in the car, Like, no, I
would never third fifteen.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Maybe you're just thinking into the future.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm thinking into the future, like when can I stop
paying a babysitter? Really? All right, if you want to
get to the nuts and bolts of it, how long
do I have to pay a babysitter? He's going over
his budget?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeahin babysitters are not cheap because they're taking care of
precious cargo and they should be well paid, and they
are well paid.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well they should maybe, I.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Say, I'm trying to think back. I think years ago
it was younger than it is now from what I
hear from friends, Yes.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I agree. So a little bit of parents not wanting
to let go.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think it's just the time too. I mean we
used to leave our doors unlocked, and so I think
we were around eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, uh, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Twelve, I mean twelve, I was babysitting babies.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
So yeah. So the other suspend of this is McKinley
still a thing. So like if you leave land and alone,
McKinley's there too. Yes, Now, McKinley's five, and let's just
call it. Land in is way more mature than McKinley.
McKinley is a spitfire and could be. I'm less concerned
(05:26):
about McKinley, but land And can handle his own if
that makes any sense. Like Landen can go make his
own ham sandwich, right, McKinley cannot.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And I don't think you would be gone very long,
Like you said, if they were twelve eleven years old,
twelve years old. Now, once you get into you know,
fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Old, then you can leave kids. You're on your own.
You can leave them if you can't do this on
your own. At fifteen, you're never gonna have a shot.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Mommy and Daddy'll see you next week. Well that I
would love to hear what everyone, what parents have to say,
because in my head, I'm thinking twelve.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So I am too, so like because I work this job,
all right, So here's here's what we're gonna do. I
want talkbacks, but I want to know at what age, Like,
did your kids get on the bus themselves? I feel
like that's a good spot to be because I work
this job. I'm never there in the mornings to put
them on the bus. Right. My wife is a teacher.
(06:23):
She her school starts earlier than my kids' school starts,
so we had to have had somebody for about an
hour and a half, gotcha two hours to get them
ready and on the bus. At what age do they
become responsible enough to get on the bus themselves? That
might be fifteen? Yeah, that one feels like it's gonna
be a fifteen year old thing. That could be a
(06:43):
little bit older. I like that we're working this out together.
Join in on the conversation, hit the talk back. It's
a little red microphone in the iHeartRadio app. It's one
hundred percent free. You tap that thing. You go to
nine five one, wawavy the little red microphone right there,
Tap it, jump in on the conversation, get my wheels,
spin an eye. I'd like to come back and talk
about this more with like other parents that have this
(07:04):
experience of like, when did you leave your kids alone?
And let me do this again, Diane. Yes, I am
not considering leaving my kids alone. I'm just cheap and
looking at the future of how long I have to
pay a babysitter. Right. No, I am not leaving my
eight and five year old alone.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
He is not.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
They come here and they torture me. Come here. Yeah,
that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Can we get a slurpee? It's ten o'clock. Stop asking
me for slurpees? Can we go to Dunkin?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
We're going to Duncan for I wish I was a kid.
Huh oh God, one day, let me be a kid.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You want to come with us? Sure?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Which is worse a really long text that reads like
a novel or a bunch of short, broken up text messages.
We're Mike and Diane on ninety five point one. AYV
Let that sink in think about it a little bit
because the survey results it's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I yeah, I don't. I'm gonna be completely honest with you.
I am a multi texter, all right, because yeah, I'll
text five in a row. I don't know if that's
good or bad or do you want the novel? Because
if I got the novel, I have to stop and
read it, like I that might be my ADHD, but
I have to stop and like focus on reading it.
If I get like five texts in a row that
(08:28):
I'm reading as they come in, right, I can just
bang bang bang bang bang, I'm good. I don't. I
don't know, but I don't know what's worse. I you
can tell me what's worse. But I'm not stopping because
I'm a I'm a free mind. I text as I think.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I don't think I mind either one receiving them because
I will read through it. I tend to send novels though. Yeah,
I don't text that much. I don't feel like so
maybe that's why. And then I get all my thoughts
out and I do. I do read it just in case. Yeah,
but I do know people who I mean, it's only
two or three words, Hi, there, next one, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Next? One?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Free Friday? Next one, like it goes on it. So
either way, I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
That's a little bit, but I I'll all right. So
in a group chat I am in, which is all
of my best friends. It's active. It is an active
group chat. And if you've ever been in an active
group chat, you know that.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
No, thank you, well.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I love it because it's how I stay connected with
my friends. I'm not going to get on the phone
with them. I'm too busy. None of us are going
to get on the phone. We all have young kids.
This is how we stay connected. You send your text,
you come back to it. You you you jump and
you jump out. So you get people that are answering,
like three four texts in a row. All you did.
All I did was silent the text the group chat.
So now like I just see a notification, I don't
(09:46):
actually hear my phone buzz okay, but you'll you usually
get those guys, you know, three or four texts in
a row, bang bang bang bang bang. Or if I'm
telling a story, I am a story. Tell her. So
I like the pauses in there, like there's a clean cut,
like you can't you know what I'm saying? Like, That's
(10:08):
why I do it. Sometimes we'll be like and then
you'll never believe what they said. Dot dot dot send it.
Wait a couple seconds, dot dot dot. She said he
was beautiful. All right.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's what they call a te in our business.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I do that in text form. By the way, nobody's
ever said anybody was beautiful. There was much different words.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It is really just a matter of preference. My sister
does not like the broken up text messages. She just
sends short texts, but she she doesn't do a novel,
but she doesn't like to get the broken So again,
it's fifty to fifty on the survey, so we need
to do our own survey. So the best way to
do that would be talkback on the free iHeartRadio app
search WayV and when you're on our page, tap that
(10:53):
red microphone and let us know. You could do it
in several talkbacks. That'd be funny, that would that would
really make a point.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Do that every sentence. I want you to send one
and then start again.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Let us know long text, would you rather get one
or broken up? Ninety five point one WayV with the
mic and Diane show and a survey. Which is worse
a really long text that reads like a novel or
a bunch of short, broken up text messages? Troy from Galloway,
what do you prefer?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I actually prefer one long one, but with spaces in
between each each thought. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You want your cake and eat it too, like paragraphs.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Now I'm into that.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of that's a compromise. Yeah, a
bunch of broken up text you're getting like a bunch
of different notifications and it's just one person and it's
like a lot, but one long thing it's harder to
respond to. So that's that's the way I prefer it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Okay, I'm with.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You, Troy. The only problem is as the person who
sends multiple text messages, it is stream of thought. So
I'm not thinking about five different things to respond back
to you. I'm just thinking of things to send. Like
it's the like I'm answering the question. I'm like, oh,
let me answer that one too, Oh let me answer
(12:22):
that one too. It's not like, hey, I have four
things to answer, Like if I have the four things
to answer, right, there are four things to say, Like
I'll put it all in the one shot. But the
problem is that's hard for those people that have, you know,
brain deficiencies like me. Oh boy.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, in the meantime, Troy and I are just going
to do paragraphs if you don't mind. Yeah, thank you Troy,
or thanks Mike and Diane. PSA for parents on ninety
five point one way V. If you're bringing your kid
to a museum with ancient artifacts, maybe you want to
stay home. Make it make a different plan. Because there's
(13:01):
a four four year old boy who accidentally smashed a
bronze age jar at a museum in Israel thirty five
hundred years old. And the reason he was just curious
as to what was inside. So you can't be mad
at the kid.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh I'm oh.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
So the jar was there displayed at the museum's entrance
without glass or barriers.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's your fault, yeah, exactly, and not just four year
olds are clumsy like there are so true. I've seen
plenty of people looking around, especially when you first walk
into a place like that, people looking eyes up, eyes down,
eyes around, the amount of times that I've had to
say to somebody, eyes up, eyes up, eyes up as
you're walking, like yeah, look, look it's crazy, like people
(13:46):
are going to walk into.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
That guaranteed, especially if you talk with your hands like
I do. Yeah, you should see yeah scenes here on
Radio Action Protection crazy. So yeah, my husband has to
watch me at all times. In museums, well, the museum's
director set, Oh, we go a lot like we've been
to one. The museum's director said they understand was an accident,
(14:11):
especially since it's a kid. If it was an adult,
the cops would have been called in. But they even
invited the family back, and a conservation specialist is restoring
the jar and it will return to its place in
a short time.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, and they are handcuffing the kid when they bring
them back.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
At least it wasn't you break it, you buy it,
because that would be expensive, so please be careful. It
is good to have goals where Mike and Diane on
ninety five point one way V Unfortunately we don't have any,
but other people do so I usually say that when
there's a new Guinness World record that has been set,
(14:48):
and Mike it happened. This is something I don't think
that we could do. I know, I definitely could not
do it. And architect broke the record for the tallest
house of cards built in eight hours. Have you ever
tried to build the house of cards?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yes? And how did it go? So good? So so good?
I don't believe you. No.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Brian Berg started breaking cards stacking records in nineteen ninety two,
a lot of practice for the Guinness Record. He built
a fifty four level house of cards in just eight hours.
Guinness verified that no glue or supports were used. It
cannot cheat when it comes to Guinness records. So Brian
will go in the books. And my immediate thought was
(15:32):
the Brady Bunch episode. Did you ever see that one
where they had to build the House of Cards? I,
I mean, I vag like I can picture it in
my head, but I don't know if I'm doing that
thing where I'm just making it up in my head.
It was something about they had stamps for Back in
the day, there would be stamps where you could redeem
them for prizes. Now it's just you get rewards and
you can do that online. But it was an actual book.
(15:54):
So I think the girls wanted a sewing machine and
the boys wanted probably like a basketball hoop or something,
so then that was the way to settle it. But
I don't remember who ruined the House of Cards. It
probably was their dog, Tiger or maybe Alice. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
There was definitely some hijinks, definitely hijinks.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Maybe it was the dad's architect plans, you know, he
would walk around with that what do you call that?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
The canister? Or show has ever gone through? Like straight through,
like oh, we're going to do this crazy contest and
then there's actually a winner.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
No, no, there's always a lesson at the end. But
if you remember how that House of Cards fell on
Brady Bunch, it's driving me nuts and I'm too lazy
to google, so go to talk back. If you get
a moment, just search WayV on the free iHeartRadio app,
tap the red microphone and let us know and put
us out of our misery. But congratulations to Brian on
his gain his world record. Good morning. It is Mike
(16:51):
and Diane on ninety five point one WayV and this
Friday happens to be Friday the thirteenth. Mike, do your
scary voice, im if somebody just tuned in, what is
going on there?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
No listen, If you've tuned into this show, you've heard
some stuff. You just be like, yeah, that's just normal standard.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Well, you know, Mike, a lot of people have superstitions,
especially for this Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
In a survey.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Number one. Breaking a glass or a mirror, especially a mirror,
it's often said to bring seven years of bad luck
if it's broken. I took my chance with this a
broken mirror because I had this compact case that had
different kinds of makeup and it wasn't cheap, and it
had a broken mirror, and I said, you know what,
(17:47):
I'll take a chance.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Maybe that's my problem. No, I think that was because
then the seventeen hundreds, mirrors were incredibly expensive, so parents
called kids like be careful around them.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, I think so too. That's the thing. Was salt also,
that's one that I have that I still do, and
my mom just ingrained it in me with that. Salt
was very expensive in ancient time, so if you spilled salt,
it would bring you bad fortune. So you take a
pinch of the spilled salt and the throat over your
left shoulder to cancel the bad luck. Thanks for putting
(18:18):
that in my head. Mom.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So are you superstitious about anything? Only on a baseball field? Yeah,
I have a very certain way. Every time I struck
somebody out that, I walk around the mound to retrieve
it from the third basement. Do not step on the
white lines. If you do, you'll die. But I'm not
superstitious outside of that. But am I just sports SUPERSTI? Yeah,
(18:42):
but like am I because I'm not going to walk
under a ladder.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That's another one where I'm careful walking under a leaft.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, but that's also one of those like it's superstitious
because it's a safety hazard. So they just made it
a superstitious like it could be. What are some of
the other ones? The black cat, the black cat.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That's not true because we had a black cat named
Tiger growing up as best cat.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Ever. Again, that was when they were still like, hey,
I don't like that person. They're probably a witch. Yeah,
Like I saw the black cat walk across though Mary
down the block, right. I like her husband, but she's
a witch. So like that's how they used to get
them back then.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So superstitions for Friday the thirteenth, let us know on talkback.
We'd love to get your messages. You're direct line to
the studio on the free iHeartRadio app search WayV Tap
the red microphone and record. It's really easy, or you
can always give us a call. It's Mike and Diane
on ninety five point one WayV gearing up for Friday
the thirteenth. Mike, that's Mike, my Friday the thirteenth voice.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Whoo, that's mine.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
So do you have any superstitions because we told you
a few minutes ago the number one in a survey
broken glass, particularly a mirror. If it's broken, it can
bring you seven years of bad luck. Ah, we don't
need that. Luisa in Atlantic City, do you have any
Friday the thirteen superstitions? I do.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I mean it's like an all year round superstition. If
that is you know that don't step on.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
The crack you'll break your mother's back.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh yeah, I feel it every time.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Well, like especially if it's an old sidewalk and it's
full of cracks.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I'm like, oh no, no, no, mom.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah again, that is absolutely one of those that's burned
into my head. But at the same point not but
I did have the thought because my mom did have
back problems a while ago. Did I crack when I
was like seven?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Oh no?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And then you have that child guilt? Yeah, oh, much therapy.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh yeah, I've had the same thought too, and I
would always avoid it just in case for my mom.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
But that is to go back.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So I think we just avoid the cracks.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
It's pretty easy to do. And then you don't have
to wonder, Mike if you still on you.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
It wasn't but maybe it was you? Sure you sure?
Maybe it was?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Hell well, Luisa, have a safe Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Hey, thanks you too.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Friday the thirteenth with Mike and Diane on ninety five
point one WayV. But we're not going to let that
get us down because it is going to be a
beautiful day, beautiful weekend, sunny in the eighties, and I
think this type of weather is the perfect weather for
September to go out and enjoy some festivals. Oh yeah,
including the Down Beach Seafood Festival is happening this weekend.
(21:37):
Thank goodness. The weather is good because of me.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That sweatshirt and shorts weather.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Oh great, Ventnor Ski Beach for the Downbeach Seafood Festival.
So that is tomorrow and Sunday, And I'm just wondering, Mike,
what is your favorite seafood dish?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh boy, you had to pick one all right, second.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Because I always order the same one when I order
seafood fried shrimp, baby fried shrimp. I like coconut shrimp too.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah, I think I think I'd go coconut shrimp with
like some kind of a tropical sauce highapple of mango
sauce on top or chili pineapple chili sauce on top.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, if you've never been to Spaghetti Seafood Festival, spaghetti
I like speak.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I don't know you're putting me on a spot.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Fine, coconut shrimp will take it.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Sushi there we go. Is that a seafood dish?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Why Not's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
But there's so much going on at the Downbeach Seafood Festival.
You've got the chowder Cookoff, You've got the crabcake eating competition,
which is benefiting the Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
That's always fun to watch and potentially compete in. I've
never competed in it, but I've been able to watch it.
And I love the kids twelve and under a free
so you can just go with the whole family and
(22:51):
enjoy yourself. They have kids activities and live music and
demonstrations and of course, the food, the seafood, so you
can get more info on our website nine on w
A y v dot com. Have a great weekend in
South Jersey.
Oh, happy days, Happy days, Happy days are here again.
It's ninety five point one WayV we made it, Diane.
Something that's very specific to me and maybe all the
other people who significant others happened to be a teacher
and chose to not be paid over the summer because
they want more during the actual teaching season. That's very
(00:22):
specific to me in my life. But my wife has
been paid. We got paid again.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We're in the monas.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Her last paycheck was June eighteenth, I believe, and she
just got paid again for the first time.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
What a great feeling.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
So this summer, every summer, the dark time in my
life is always August fifteenth through September fifteenth. That's the
worst month of the year for me.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Luckily she got paid a little early. She got paid today,
So officially I'm off the hook.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Now you can party.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Well, I'm off the hook for paying for her gas
for her because I'll tell you what, all that money
she saves during the entire year to survive that three
months that's gone in two Oh yeah, yeah, I have
been in this game long enough to know that August
fifteenth through through her next paycheck, which is now, it's
(01:18):
an ugly month in our house. We are we are barren.
We're in Ramenford dinner. Sometimes we need to figure something out,
but it's over. We made it. Congratulations to all the
significant others and all the teachers that are getting paid
this week for the first time in three months.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You did a case. Can't you extend that where you
get paid less during the year, but it's you get
paid over the summer or is that just specific too?
That's specific, okay, because I know a teacher that told
me that, but it's in a different school district. That
is that they can opt to do that.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
That is specific the districts. And I don't even think
my wife would do that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And smaller paychecks all year obviously, but then you still
get paid over the summer.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, that would make a lot of back into it.
In case. I definitely have never brought that up before. Yeah,
multiple times, all the time, every July, and I get
the same answer, why would I do that? And your
she's right, why not get a bigger paycheck when you
got a rich husband who's paying for everything?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, congratulations, she don't have one of those. Let's just
get that out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Let the spending begin.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, Yeah, honey, we got a lot of bills to pay.
That are That's true. I got a lot of emails
in the last few days.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It sounded good.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Water bill is overdue, I know.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Don't even talk about the electric I'm not even going there.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Oh that one's been not even going there, especially with
a pool.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Now, all right, all right, well, congratulations, it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Just got sad again. Here's a question that Shirley won't
be taken the wrong way. It's ninety five point one
WayV The Mike and Diane Show. When what age can
I start leaving kids home alone? Hmmm, that is a
good question, like, and I'm not saying I know the
answers probably Well, it depends on the kid. We're talking general, Like,
(03:08):
I know, there's definitely some kids that are more mature
and can be left alone more than other kids. And
I'm certainly not asking because I want to leave my
kids alone. Sure it would be a lot easier sometimes,
but I'm talking you know, I understand that. The other
thing is timeframe, like are you leaving them for twenty minutes?
Are you leaving them for three hours? True? I'm just
(03:31):
thinking about like now that the kids are going back
to school and we are kind of in a place
where we're hiring our first babysitters, Like we haven't had
to hire a babysitter ever. Now we are to a
point where we are having to hire a babysitter because
you know, circumstances change for everybody, including your parents, who
(03:51):
might be the ones that have been helping you all
these years. Absolutely now I'm just in my head thinking,
like out loud to you all publicly, how long until
I can leave Landing alone? Like I know, I guess
I'll use him specifically because like he's older. He's older,
he's eight, So it's like I'm not actually thinking about
(04:13):
leave him alone. I've never actually left him alone, So
back off, you weirdos in the car, Like, no, I
would never third fifteen.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Maybe you're just thinking into the future.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm thinking into the future, like when can I stop
paying a babysitter? Really? All right, if you want to
get to the nuts and bolts of it, how long
do I have to pay a babysitter? He's going over
his budget?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeahin babysitters are not cheap because they're taking care of
precious cargo and they should be well paid, and they
are well paid.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well they should maybe, I.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Say, I'm trying to think back. I think years ago
it was younger than it is now from what I
hear from friends, Yes.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I agree. So a little bit of parents not wanting
to let go.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think it's just the time too. I mean we
used to leave our doors unlocked, and so I think
we were around eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, uh, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Twelve, I mean twelve, I was babysitting babies.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
So yeah. So the other suspend of this is McKinley
still a thing. So like if you leave land and alone,
McKinley's there too. Yes, Now, McKinley's five, and let's just
call it. Land in is way more mature than McKinley.
McKinley is a spitfire and could be. I'm less concerned
(05:26):
about McKinley, but land And can handle his own if
that makes any sense. Like Landen can go make his
own ham sandwich, right, McKinley cannot.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And I don't think you would be gone very long,
Like you said, if they were twelve eleven years old,
twelve years old. Now, once you get into you know,
fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Old, then you can leave kids. You're on your own.
You can leave them if you can't do this on
your own. At fifteen, you're never gonna have a shot.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Mommy and Daddy'll see you next week. Well that I
would love to hear what everyone, what parents have to say,
because in my head, I'm thinking twelve.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So I am too, so like because I work this job,
all right, So here's here's what we're gonna do. I
want talkbacks, but I want to know at what age, Like,
did your kids get on the bus themselves? I feel
like that's a good spot to be because I work
this job. I'm never there in the mornings to put
them on the bus. Right. My wife is a teacher.
(06:23):
She her school starts earlier than my kids' school starts,
so we had to have had somebody for about an
hour and a half, gotcha two hours to get them
ready and on the bus. At what age do they
become responsible enough to get on the bus themselves? That
might be fifteen? Yeah, that one feels like it's gonna
be a fifteen year old thing. That could be a
(06:43):
little bit older. I like that we're working this out together.
Join in on the conversation, hit the talk back. It's
a little red microphone in the iHeartRadio app. It's one
hundred percent free. You tap that thing. You go to
nine five one, wawavy the little red microphone right there,
Tap it, jump in on the conversation, get my wheels,
spin an eye. I'd like to come back and talk
about this more with like other parents that have this
(07:04):
experience of like, when did you leave your kids alone?
And let me do this again, Diane. Yes, I am
not considering leaving my kids alone. I'm just cheap and
looking at the future of how long I have to
pay a babysitter. Right. No, I am not leaving my
eight and five year old alone.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
He is not.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
They come here and they torture me. Come here. Yeah,
that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Can we get a slurpee? It's ten o'clock. Stop asking
me for slurpees? Can we go to Dunkin?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
We're going to Duncan for I wish I was a kid.
Huh oh God, one day, let me be a kid.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You want to come with us? Sure?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Which is worse a really long text that reads like
a novel or a bunch of short, broken up text messages.
We're Mike and Diane on ninety five point one. AYV
Let that sink in think about it a little bit
because the survey results it's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I yeah, I don't. I'm gonna be completely honest with you.
I am a multi texter, all right, because yeah, I'll
text five in a row. I don't know if that's
good or bad or do you want the novel? Because
if I got the novel, I have to stop and
read it, like I that might be my ADHD, but
I have to stop and like focus on reading it.
If I get like five texts in a row that
(08:28):
I'm reading as they come in, right, I can just
bang bang bang bang bang, I'm good. I don't. I
don't know, but I don't know what's worse. I you
can tell me what's worse. But I'm not stopping because
I'm a I'm a free mind. I text as I think.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I don't think I mind either one receiving them because
I will read through it. I tend to send novels though. Yeah,
I don't text that much. I don't feel like so
maybe that's why. And then I get all my thoughts
out and I do. I do read it just in case. Yeah,
but I do know people who I mean, it's only
two or three words, Hi, there, next one, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Next? One?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Free Friday? Next one, like it goes on it. So
either way, I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
That's a little bit, but I I'll all right. So
in a group chat I am in, which is all
of my best friends. It's active. It is an active
group chat. And if you've ever been in an active
group chat, you know that.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
No, thank you, well.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I love it because it's how I stay connected with
my friends. I'm not going to get on the phone
with them. I'm too busy. None of us are going
to get on the phone. We all have young kids.
This is how we stay connected. You send your text,
you come back to it. You you you jump and
you jump out. So you get people that are answering,
like three four texts in a row. All you did.
All I did was silent the text the group chat.
So now like I just see a notification, I don't
(09:46):
actually hear my phone buzz okay, but you'll you usually
get those guys, you know, three or four texts in
a row, bang bang bang bang bang. Or if I'm
telling a story, I am a story. Tell her. So
I like the pauses in there, like there's a clean cut,
like you can't you know what I'm saying? Like, That's
(10:08):
why I do it. Sometimes we'll be like and then
you'll never believe what they said. Dot dot dot send it.
Wait a couple seconds, dot dot dot. She said he
was beautiful. All right.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's what they call a te in our business.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I do that in text form. By the way, nobody's
ever said anybody was beautiful. There was much different words.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It is really just a matter of preference. My sister
does not like the broken up text messages. She just
sends short texts, but she she doesn't do a novel,
but she doesn't like to get the broken So again,
it's fifty to fifty on the survey, so we need
to do our own survey. So the best way to
do that would be talkback on the free iHeartRadio app
search WayV and when you're on our page, tap that
(10:53):
red microphone and let us know. You could do it
in several talkbacks. That'd be funny, that would that would
really make a point.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Do that every sentence. I want you to send one
and then start again.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Let us know long text, would you rather get one
or broken up? Ninety five point one WayV with the
mic and Diane show and a survey. Which is worse
a really long text that reads like a novel or
a bunch of short, broken up text messages? Troy from Galloway,
what do you prefer?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I actually prefer one long one, but with spaces in
between each each thought. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You want your cake and eat it too, like paragraphs.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Now I'm into that.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of that's a compromise. Yeah, a
bunch of broken up text you're getting like a bunch
of different notifications and it's just one person and it's
like a lot, but one long thing it's harder to
respond to. So that's that's the way I prefer it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Okay, I'm with.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You, Troy. The only problem is as the person who
sends multiple text messages, it is stream of thought. So
I'm not thinking about five different things to respond back
to you. I'm just thinking of things to send. Like
it's the like I'm answering the question. I'm like, oh,
let me answer that one too, Oh let me answer
(12:22):
that one too. It's not like, hey, I have four
things to answer, Like if I have the four things
to answer, right, there are four things to say, Like
I'll put it all in the one shot. But the
problem is that's hard for those people that have, you know,
brain deficiencies like me. Oh boy.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, in the meantime, Troy and I are just going
to do paragraphs if you don't mind. Yeah, thank you Troy,
or thanks Mike and Diane. PSA for parents on ninety
five point one way V. If you're bringing your kid
to a museum with ancient artifacts, maybe you want to
stay home. Make it make a different plan. Because there's
(13:01):
a four four year old boy who accidentally smashed a
bronze age jar at a museum in Israel thirty five
hundred years old. And the reason he was just curious
as to what was inside. So you can't be mad
at the kid.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh I'm oh.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
So the jar was there displayed at the museum's entrance
without glass or barriers.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's your fault, yeah, exactly, and not just four year
olds are clumsy like there are so true. I've seen
plenty of people looking around, especially when you first walk
into a place like that, people looking eyes up, eyes down,
eyes around, the amount of times that I've had to
say to somebody, eyes up, eyes up, eyes up as
you're walking, like yeah, look, look it's crazy, like people
(13:46):
are going to walk into.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
That guaranteed, especially if you talk with your hands like
I do. Yeah, you should see yeah scenes here on
Radio Action Protection crazy. So yeah, my husband has to
watch me at all times. In museums, well, the museum's
director set, Oh, we go a lot like we've been
to one. The museum's director said they understand was an accident,
(14:11):
especially since it's a kid. If it was an adult,
the cops would have been called in. But they even
invited the family back, and a conservation specialist is restoring
the jar and it will return to its place in
a short time.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, and they are handcuffing the kid when they bring
them back.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
At least it wasn't you break it, you buy it,
because that would be expensive, so please be careful. It
is good to have goals where Mike and Diane on
ninety five point one way V Unfortunately we don't have any,
but other people do so I usually say that when
there's a new Guinness World record that has been set,
(14:48):
and Mike it happened. This is something I don't think
that we could do. I know, I definitely could not
do it. And architect broke the record for the tallest
house of cards built in eight hours. Have you ever
tried to build the house of cards?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yes? And how did it go? So good? So so good?
I don't believe you. No.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Brian Berg started breaking cards stacking records in nineteen ninety two,
a lot of practice for the Guinness Record. He built
a fifty four level house of cards in just eight hours.
Guinness verified that no glue or supports were used. It
cannot cheat when it comes to Guinness records. So Brian
will go in the books. And my immediate thought was
(15:32):
the Brady Bunch episode. Did you ever see that one
where they had to build the House of Cards? I,
I mean, I vag like I can picture it in
my head, but I don't know if I'm doing that
thing where I'm just making it up in my head.
It was something about they had stamps for Back in
the day, there would be stamps where you could redeem
them for prizes. Now it's just you get rewards and
you can do that online. But it was an actual book.
(15:54):
So I think the girls wanted a sewing machine and
the boys wanted probably like a basketball hoop or something,
so then that was the way to settle it. But
I don't remember who ruined the House of Cards. It
probably was their dog, Tiger or maybe Alice. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
There was definitely some hijinks, definitely hijinks.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Maybe it was the dad's architect plans, you know, he
would walk around with that what do you call that?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
The canister? Or show has ever gone through? Like straight through,
like oh, we're going to do this crazy contest and
then there's actually a winner.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
No, no, there's always a lesson at the end. But
if you remember how that House of Cards fell on
Brady Bunch, it's driving me nuts and I'm too lazy
to google, so go to talk back. If you get
a moment, just search WayV on the free iHeartRadio app,
tap the red microphone and let us know and put
us out of our misery. But congratulations to Brian on
his gain his world record. Good morning. It is Mike
(16:51):
and Diane on ninety five point one WayV and this
Friday happens to be Friday the thirteenth. Mike, do your
scary voice, im if somebody just tuned in, what is
going on there?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
No listen, If you've tuned into this show, you've heard
some stuff. You just be like, yeah, that's just normal standard.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Well, you know, Mike, a lot of people have superstitions,
especially for this Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
In a survey.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Number one. Breaking a glass or a mirror, especially a mirror,
it's often said to bring seven years of bad luck
if it's broken. I took my chance with this a
broken mirror because I had this compact case that had
different kinds of makeup and it wasn't cheap, and it
had a broken mirror, and I said, you know what,
(17:47):
I'll take a chance.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Maybe that's my problem. No, I think that was because
then the seventeen hundreds, mirrors were incredibly expensive, so parents
called kids like be careful around them.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, I think so too. That's the thing. Was salt also,
that's one that I have that I still do, and
my mom just ingrained it in me with that. Salt
was very expensive in ancient time, so if you spilled salt,
it would bring you bad fortune. So you take a
pinch of the spilled salt and the throat over your
left shoulder to cancel the bad luck. Thanks for putting
(18:18):
that in my head. Mom.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So are you superstitious about anything? Only on a baseball field? Yeah,
I have a very certain way. Every time I struck
somebody out that, I walk around the mound to retrieve
it from the third basement. Do not step on the
white lines. If you do, you'll die. But I'm not
superstitious outside of that. But am I just sports SUPERSTI? Yeah,
(18:42):
but like am I because I'm not going to walk
under a ladder.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That's another one where I'm careful walking under a leaft.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, but that's also one of those like it's superstitious
because it's a safety hazard. So they just made it
a superstitious like it could be. What are some of
the other ones? The black cat, the black cat.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That's not true because we had a black cat named
Tiger growing up as best cat.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Ever. Again, that was when they were still like, hey,
I don't like that person. They're probably a witch. Yeah,
Like I saw the black cat walk across though Mary
down the block, right. I like her husband, but she's
a witch. So like that's how they used to get
them back then.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So superstitions for Friday the thirteenth, let us know on talkback.
We'd love to get your messages. You're direct line to
the studio on the free iHeartRadio app search WayV Tap
the red microphone and record. It's really easy, or you
can always give us a call. It's Mike and Diane
on ninety five point one WayV gearing up for Friday
the thirteenth. Mike, that's Mike, my Friday the thirteenth voice.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Whoo, that's mine.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
So do you have any superstitions because we told you
a few minutes ago the number one in a survey
broken glass, particularly a mirror. If it's broken, it can
bring you seven years of bad luck. Ah, we don't
need that. Luisa in Atlantic City, do you have any
Friday the thirteen superstitions? I do.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I mean it's like an all year round superstition. If
that is you know that don't step on.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
The crack you'll break your mother's back.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh yeah, I feel it every time.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Well, like especially if it's an old sidewalk and it's
full of cracks.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I'm like, oh no, no, no, mom.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah again, that is absolutely one of those that's burned
into my head. But at the same point not but
I did have the thought because my mom did have
back problems a while ago. Did I crack when I
was like seven?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Oh no?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And then you have that child guilt? Yeah, oh, much therapy.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh yeah, I've had the same thought too, and I
would always avoid it just in case for my mom.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
But that is to go back.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So I think we just avoid the cracks.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
It's pretty easy to do. And then you don't have
to wonder, Mike if you still on you.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
It wasn't but maybe it was you? Sure you sure?
Maybe it was?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Hell well, Luisa, have a safe Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Hey, thanks you too.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Friday the thirteenth with Mike and Diane on ninety five
point one WayV. But we're not going to let that
get us down because it is going to be a
beautiful day, beautiful weekend, sunny in the eighties, and I
think this type of weather is the perfect weather for
September to go out and enjoy some festivals. Oh yeah,
including the Down Beach Seafood Festival is happening this weekend.
(21:37):
Thank goodness. The weather is good because of me.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That sweatshirt and shorts weather.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Oh great, Ventnor Ski Beach for the Downbeach Seafood Festival.
So that is tomorrow and Sunday, And I'm just wondering, Mike,
what is your favorite seafood dish?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh boy, you had to pick one all right, second.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Because I always order the same one when I order
seafood fried shrimp, baby fried shrimp. I like coconut shrimp too.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah, I think I think I'd go coconut shrimp with
like some kind of a tropical sauce highapple of mango
sauce on top or chili pineapple chili sauce on top.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, if you've never been to Spaghetti Seafood Festival, spaghetti
I like speak.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I don't know you're putting me on a spot.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Fine, coconut shrimp will take it.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Sushi there we go. Is that a seafood dish?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Why Not's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
But there's so much going on at the Downbeach Seafood Festival.
You've got the chowder Cookoff, You've got the crabcake eating competition,
which is benefiting the Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
That's always fun to watch and potentially compete in. I've
never competed in it, but I've been able to watch it.
And I love the kids twelve and under a free
so you can just go with the whole family and
(22:51):
enjoy yourself. They have kids activities and live music and
demonstrations and of course, the food, the seafood, so you
can get more info on our website nine on w

South Jersey.
