I feel like I would, be honest, why not because
you have to miss work and you get paid like
three cents a day or something.

I know, but I think just the experience would wait
you launch dateline to go to sleep and you like
all the truth prime, So no, I don't need.

avoid the news for that reason.

My Dad did it again at Safeway?

Oh one you know, you can't send him to the store.
You know he needs help to grocery shop.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Eh.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
But it was the simplest thing. So last night my
mom made chicken soup. For some reason, I don't know
if it's a Latin thing, they like to eat bananas
in their soup.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Oh no, that.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Don't put out on the left. Don't put that on
your people. I've never ever heard of that in my life. No, no,
it's like a thing.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
They've grown up eating bananas slices in their soup. Here's
the thing, though, they didn't have any bananas in the house,
so my dad had to go to Safeway to get some.
He comes back with mangoes and avocados.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Here goes my mom.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
It knows bananas although as bananas or are the bananas.
He's like, oh, I forgot the bananas. Let me run
back the Safeway and get the bananas. Was back from safeway.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
He's not the best at picking fruit, so he ended
up picking the greenest bananas that weren't ready.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Oh my god. And so my mom was like, Hue,
this was bananas. The mom was that comed we're gonna
eat these bananas.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
We can't.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
They're not ready.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
So my mom's yelling at my dad, and my dad's like,
have you seen my glasses? Where are my glasses? Have
you guys seen my glasses? We're like, what do you
mean your glasses? You had them on when you went
to Safeway. He's like, I can't buy my glasses. I
don't know what happened to them.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
He goes back to Safeway. This is the third time,
you're lying. This is the third time.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Come one.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
No.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
He goes to look for his glasses at the strawberries.
They're not there. By the bananas, they're not there. The glasses.
Uh huh, we're in the mangoes.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
So he put them down to look at the mangoes.
But he didn't realize that he didn't put them back on.
Oh my god, he went to the store three times.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
It was just a mess. P the bananas in their
chicken soup.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh he tried.

Speaker 6 (04:07):

Kids three points, That Crazy Crazy Train News with Christie
Live in morning Dramas.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Hey eighty minutes of commercial free music coming up at
seven twenty. Reminder before we hop aboard the crazy train.
And today the Crazy Train is headed out to Germany
where a teacher on paid sick leave for sixteen years.
Sixteen years home, this teacher was collecting salary benefits over

(05:12):
a million dollars. She would turn in medical certificates whenever
the school would ask, but they never required a formal
health check until new leadership came.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
To the school district and they were like, wait a.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Minute, has anyone ever asked her to go see an
actual doctor? So they asked her, after sixteen years of
sick leave, ma'am, can you please go get an actual
medical exam instead of just turning in letters?

Speaker 4 (05:42):
And she was like, you know what, I'm taking you
to court?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Ah h.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
She stopped at this school for asking her to prove
that she was sick after she'd been collecting sixteen years
worth of paycheck.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
You better stop it right now.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
She tried it but luckily, because you always hear about
these frivolous lawsuits, the court was like, girl, buy.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
You no, no, So they actually charged her for the
legal fees.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I was gonna say, Christy, they should have made her
pay a lot of that money back.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
They can't make her pay the money back because they
can't prove that she wasn't sick. But now she's you know,
looking at losing her pension and all of that.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
That's crazy writing sick notes on all like post it notes,
I'm sick.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Sixteen years, sixteen years and then have the audacity to
see the school district for asking her to prove it.

Speaker 4 (06:29):

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Anyway, Back to the Great Debate Classic Kids one oh
three point seven.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
That's the wrong one. Back to the debate, Well, you know,
actually it's back for the first time.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
It is.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Here we go let's talk about it.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
So every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we do a great debate,
and this morning wanted to ask you about all of
these controversies happening in the news. Earlier this week we
were talking about Phillies Karen, the lady who went up
to the dad and his kid at a Philadelphia Phillies
baseball game and demanded the ball, the Astronomers ceo that

(07:41):
got caught cheating on his wife. And there's another ceo
who snatched the ball from a boy at the US Open.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, basically, all these people behaving badly and getting canceled.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
And eventually losing their jobs.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Do you think that actions away from your job, your
personal life, whatever you do behind closed doors or on
the internet for the world to see.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
That's pretty much how it is nowadays.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Should affect your professional life. That is the question for
this morning's great debate, because it happens.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, and I think that you are a representation of
the company that you work for. I don't like to
see people losing their jobs, but yeah, you should be
held accountable and fired.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
But if your dirtbag husband, does that mean you can't
you know, crunch numbers for a Fortune five hundred company.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
You know, does that mean you can't come up with
the next.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
You know, cancer drug because you are cheating on your
husband or your wife.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Or snatching a ball from the door, snatching a ball
from a kid.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Does that take away from your skills as a computer programmer?
You know what if you're the top computer programmer and
just you know, a bad boyfriend, Christy.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
So you don't think that your behavior outside should affect
your job?

Speaker 4 (09:11):
You know, I kinda don't. I kind of don't because
I feel like I can separate the two. But what
do you think? Is the question? That is the question.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
That is the question.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
So the question is, yet, should your outside behavior affect
your job?

Speaker 1 (09:49):
The Great Debate Classic Kids one oh three point seven.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Everybody's getting canceled in twenty twenty five? Should the dirt
that you do in your private life affect your professional life?

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Because like the astronomers, CEO lost his job for cheating
on his wife.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
But do you think that's fair? Should they affect one another? Jose,
what do you think you know?

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Honestly, I think you no, just for a simple crack
that oh we don't grow up saying on work and
here a pleasure time never should combine you for mix
you know, your actions away from work.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
I don't think it should affect it because she never
should combine both of them.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
So I feel you.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
If you're a machinist, you can still do your job
even though you're maybe not a great husband or wife exactly.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
I'll note that vote. Thanks for Colin Jose, have a
great day.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Good morning? What do you think?

Speaker 5 (10:55):
No? Okay, well, it doesn't affect my job performance. But
if I'm a horrible human pain we can camp held
online now because everybody wants to, you know, do the
Philly Karen or whatever. Yeah, and we don't know for
sure that that ball wasn't hurt because the dad said
in an interview, I gave it back to her, say.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
He gave it back to what I told Karina the
same thing. I said, we didn't see what happened in
the bottom of that pile. Maybe she did have the ball.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
In her hand and he snatched it exactly. I mean,
you can't be rolling up on strangers like that. But
you know, we don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Oh yeah, I know for sure.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Appreciate you jumping in. Thank you, mar Good morning.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Do you think your personal business and your personal antics
should affect your professional life in this day and age.

Speaker 8 (11:40):
I'm gonna have to say yes simply because whatever you know, like,
whatever you do, it's going to case after you. If
it's on the internet, it's going to be on there forever,
and it's just going to show some way of reflection
of yourself.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay, I will note that boat. Thank you so much
for joining in on this morning's great debate. What do
you think a lot of people getting canceled and actually
losing their job for doing things that may not be cool?

Oh man, we got a good one going your personal
life and what you do behind closed doors or at
Coldplay concerts? Should that affect your professional life? A lot
of people getting busted doing dirt in public, getting canceled
and losing their jobs over it.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
But is that fair? Is the question? Good morning, Rob?
What do you think that was kind of ridiculous?

Speaker 5 (12:56):
I did see that there.

Speaker 8 (12:58):
No, that's your personal life, man, As.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Long as you're professionally at work, you should be able
to do your job, get done, and then go home

Don't do it.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
Love you too, Love you back, Thank you so much.
Got another one here, Hey.

Speaker 9 (13:27):
Guys, paranormal Chris here. Now, if you do something out
of work, it should kind of depend on what you did,
Like if it's if you're racist or something, then yeah,
because that could affect any type of position at any
type of job, So you should get fired. Yeah, Now,
like how that lady took the ball, you should just

(13:47):
lose some respect, but probably not lose your job for
something like that.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
I think that's cool. You know, co workers talk trash
for a little bit, like dang you, Hella Janki, but
you shouldn't lose your job over it.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
I agree. Thank you, Thank you so much, Paranormal Chris,
You're awesome and got another talk back.

Speaker 7 (14:03):
Good morning, girls, It's Nina from a Wren waiting on
the Great Debate. If what you do outside of work
does not affect your job, then it really shouldn't be
a problem. I'm pretty sure that the year that we
live in today, we're accepting everything the way you live
and love. So for your job and love your life.
Love you girls, have a great day.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Thank you, Ninya.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
It's true, you know, if I'm alignment from PG and E,
I can still drill into polls even though I'm.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
You know, Christy, Christy, I'm a Navy veteran. Sometimes God
time for world work call here, Nikkia.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
So personally, depending on how much power you have.

Speaker 7 (14:44):
But I wanted to tell you a gossip story.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
Okay down in the peninsula.

Speaker 8 (14:49):
Uh huh, a top tier school that it will remain nameless.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
Okay, in the late nineties made a practice of hiring
all sorts of professors with sex scandal super bad.

Speaker 7 (15:01):
So you know, my view is a bit tainted.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (15:04):
So there are some employers who do the opposite, right,
They like, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Doesn't make it right. But sometimes, you know, it's like
that sometimes, or.

Speaker 7 (15:16):
Sometimes it's a way to get the best of the
best who just maybe are a little terrible people.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yeah, sometimes it's like that.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Thank you so much, Nakila. Always appreciate you all jumping
in for the great debate.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Everybody mostly everybody, which I'm surprised, said, No, what you
do outside should not affect your job.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
I said, you're alignment.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Okay, Christy, okay, back to the yourself in thirty seconds.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Hits, The Classic Hits one, three points That Crazy News
with Christie Live in Morning Trown.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Today, the Crazy Train is headed out to Germany, where
a teacher was on paid sick leave for sixteen years.
Sixteen years, this teacher was collecting salary benefits over a
million dollars. She would turn in medical certificates whenever the

(17:41):
school would ask, but they never required a formal health
check until new leadership came to the school district and
they were like, wait a minute.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Has anyone ever asked her to go see an actual doctor?

Speaker 2 (17:57):
So they asked her, after sixteen years of sickly, ma'am,
can you please go get an actual medical exam instead
of just turning in letters?

Speaker 4 (18:06):
And she was like, you know what, I'm taking you
to court?

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Ahh.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
And she stopped at a school.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
For asking her to prove that she was sick after
she'd been collecting sixteen years worth of paycheck.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
You better stop it right now, she tried it.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
But luckily that's exactly what the court said, girl, buy
you better stop it right now.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
They made her pay all of the company's legal fees.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Unfortunately, they couldn't recoup any of that money because in
the past they couldn't prove that she wasn't sick.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
But yeah, the jig is up.
