Speaker 1 (00:00):
You were listening to Morning Drive with Christie Live on demand.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
What happens if the wheel in the sky gets.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
A flat I'm just kidding.

Speaker 4 (00:11):
It's a great question. I don't know it's there triple
A in the sky. No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Class against one O three point seven. Good morning, It's
six sixteen.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
My name is Christy, Producer Karina is here, and you
could be a billionaire this time tomorrow. That is actually
kind of crazy. There is a big, huge powerball jackpot tonight.
I think it's up to like one point three billion
dollars and I was just looking at some of the
Powerball kind of fun facts. Your odds winning one in
two hundred and ninety two million. So that's it.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
You know, you have a more chance of being struck
by lightning twice, becoming president, winning an oscar, or dating
a supermodel then winning the powerball jackpot. But that doesn't
mean don't play. Because the last billion dollar jackpot was
one in California, that dude back in twenty twenty two.
Oh yeah, and that was the largest jackpot in the

(01:06):
whole entire world, like in the history of Everness and
California Lucky US one of the states where once you
do win, you cannot remain anonymous. You have to basically
your name, where you live, all your business is public record.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I wonder why that is.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
I don't know, because it seems dangerous and it's not
like that in every state, but in California if you
take home that big prize.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
And I always.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Thought like, hey, if I win the jackpot, I'll just
collect it in a trust, so that way people won't
know it's me lected in a trust. Yeah, the owner
of that trust. Your information is still public records. So
there's no getting around the fact that people will know
who you are and eventually hit you up with money

(01:54):
and all these frivolous lawsuits they do say, there's a
lot of curse.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
There's a guy that I saw recently. It was an
episode you know Me in my twenty twenty. He won
and he said that it was the worst thing that
ever happened to him because everybody was hitting him up
for money and then somebody ended up killing him.

Wow, thank you for that. I mean, that's sunshine Carina.

Speaker 3 (02:13):

was like, it is the worst thing that ever happened
is he won the lotto.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Some of the top numbers for the powerball eighteen, twenty one, fourteen,
and twenty four. Those are the most like frequently drawn powerball.

it's been drawn fifty one to like fifty six times
out of all of the big winning things.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
My name's Christy. Thanks for letting me come along for
your morning drive.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
So usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we check in with
producer Karina's crazy family. She lives with her parents, has
two sisters. She's the middle child, and inevitably, there's always

Speaker 3 (03:37):
So let me tell you what happened to me yesterday. Christy.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Okay, My mom and dad texted me and they said, hey,
make sure you come home, feed Benita the dog. We're
going to be gone for the day. And I said, okay, cool,
Like where are you guys going. They're like, oh, I
just got to run some errands. Here comes the evening
time and I'm like, that's weird. They're still not even
home five o'clock, six o'clock. Then here comes eight o'clock
at night.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Uh huh. And I'm worried about them, okay.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
And I said, Mom, Dad, like hello, can you guys
answer me and tell me where you guys are at?
But I call my sisters. They're like, I don't know.
They didn't tell us where they're at. I got a
text message for my dad, freehole, which is his nickname
for me. Start searching for names for your little brother
that might arrive in nine months.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
If it's a boy, Tenacius for Venice.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
If it's a girl, we're gonna name her Paris with
the picture of their cash pre casino resort hotel room.
Look at this picture they took off to the casino.
They are at the pool at a nice room. Okay,
But they didn't tell me, And so I texted my
dad and I said, Dad, why didn't you guys let
me know that you guys were gonna go stay the night.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
At the hotel at the casino.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
And he said, oh, it's because we didn't want you
or your sisters trying to crash our party.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I said, that is so shady.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
So you gotta let me know where you guys are at,
especially when it's eight o'clock at night and I haven't heard.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
From you guys eight o'clock at night, Greena. You said,
they're luck.

Speaker 3 (04:57):

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Grandma over here, I'll see why your parents need to
get away.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
It is eight pm, are you guys?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Oh my god, my sister Cindy. I call Nicky and
they're like, I don't know where they're at.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
They don't need to tell you where they're at.

Speaker 4 (05:11):

at all times where they're at. One and Connie went

Kids three Points Crazy Crazy News with Christie Live in
Morning Drowns.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
All right, the crazy train today is headed out to Cacosson.
I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right, but it's
someplace in France.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
A woman named Maria.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Is facing up to seven years in prison and over
one hundred thousand dollars in fines, all because she took
back her own property from squatters. This is crazy. A
woman rented her place to these people. They went months,
didn't pay their rent. So she said, you know what,
since you're not paying your rent, since you won't leave,

(06:52):
they went on vacation, She changed the locks, she took
their stuff out, sold some of it so she can
get some of her.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Rent money back.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
And when they got back, they sued her for unlawful
eviction and burglary and now.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
She's facing up to seven years in jail. That's crazy.
Anne could pay over one hundred thousand dollars in fine.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Oh hell no, this is insane.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's her house.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
It her house.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
You always hear about these stories where there's squatters and
landlords try and move back in or try and change
the logs, and then they're the ones that fault.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Like, I don't know who's making these rules.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
You wait to change some things.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, that's sad.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Hopefully things work out for Maria.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Good Morning Drive with Christy Live on Classic Kids one
oh three point seven each time for the Great Debate.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
One point three billion dollars that's what the powerball jackpot
is tonight.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
And I don't care what anybody says.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
If you get one point three billion dollars, that is
definitely going to put a smile on your face. Every
Monday for to Stay and Friday you do a great
debate and this morning's question sparked by this crazy lotto.
Can money buy happiness? Producer Karna No, lies.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
It can buy you comfort, but it's not gonna buy
you happiness.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
People want to be comfortable, and they're worried about money
a lot of times. And if you have all the money,
then you will be comfortable I e. Happy because you're
not worried about money, able to spend time with your
family so you can do the things that you love
to do that bring you happiness.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Money buys happiness. I totally disagree with that. What do
you think?

Speaker 4 (08:39):
One eight sixty six nine hundred one three seven or
tap the red microphone on our free iHeartRadio app to
join this morning's great debate.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Don't be pc be real.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Think about if you won all that money today, or
if you walked in into the office today and your
boss said I'm doubling your salary.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
I promise you that would make a lot of people happy.
I e. Money buys happiness.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
Long term happiness is about relationships and life.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Call me if you want to keep it real. Hear
from you. Next on Classic Kids.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Back to the Great Debate Classic Kids one oh three
point seven.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Can money buy happiness? That is the question for this
morning's Great Debate. Randy, thanks for checking in.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
What do you think.

Speaker 6 (09:34):
They've actually done studies on this, and it was determined
money can buy happiness, but only up to a certain
amount of money. People who don't have money, if you,
like you said, they're worried about booths, They're worried about
being able to buy food or that makes them money happy.
When they get enough money to live comfortably, then they're happy. However,
when you get a lot of money, when you have

(09:55):
to start stuffing again because everybody's after you trying to
get that money, and you have to worry about tax
in our time other stuff.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Okay, I agree. See we are in the same book
on the same page. Thanks for the call, Randy Nikila.
What do you think can money buy happiness?

Speaker 6 (10:12):
I feel like it can, but I know they've done
all these studies.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
And apparently people.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
Who win the lotto not only die early, but dieing happy.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Grina was saying, usually there's a curse that comes with
the big lotto winds and big windfalls like that.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Yeah, you're comfortable, but you're stressed out for different reasons.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Okay, I will note the boat. Thank you so much,
appreciate you, Nikila, have a great day. Where do you
stand on this morning's Great Debate? Can money buy happiness?
I'm sorry? One point three billion dollars in that Powerball jackpod.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I would be happy.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Give me the stress. I'll work it out, Rob, What
do you think.

Speaker 7 (10:55):
I think a lot of people confuse security with happiness.
I think the money isn't giving you happiness. I think
it's just giving you freedom and options.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
That's what I said. It's temporary exactly.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
So I take it you're agreeing with Karina. It can't
buy happiness.

Speaker 6 (11:11):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
I still love you. Take care, Rob.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Where do you stand on this morning's Great Debate? Do
you feel like money can buy happiness? Tap the red
microphone on our free iHeartRadio app. You can record a
talkback message and vote, or just pick up the phone
and give me.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
A call back to the Great Debate classic hits one
oh three point seven.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Geez, Karina, Sorry, Christie was like, oh my mic is off?

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Take you ease my man.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Look in the midst of the Great Debate, the question
is can money buy happiness?

Speaker 8 (11:56):
Ten?

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Dollars is not going to make me happy.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Two brilliant will make me happy, comfortable, and I would
certainly share it, including a lot of charities.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Thank you for the talkback. I will note that vote
got another talk back from our app.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I would rather have happiness and love and money.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
Ah see, that's what I'm talking about, love and happiness.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Will you take the love and happiness and I'll be
right at the Masarati dealership buy my new car. Okay,
with a smile on my face. Oh man, Ray, thank
you so much for checking in.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
What do you think.

Speaker 8 (12:29):
Let's say if you're making one hundred thousand dollars and
next six months your raise goes up, this will increase
your happiness probably five to ten percent. But after that
from torn a bathom to two million or even ten
million dollars, it statistically the happiness doesn't go up. So family, family, family,

(12:50):
Thirty five percent of your happiness comes from your relationship,
your family, your friend.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
I love how you came with facts and figures. The
berry is amazing.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Thank you so much, Ray for the statistical breakdown this
morning and your vote.

death I'm happy.
