Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Three things you need to know.We're all kind of late last night at
our family free Thanksgiving, but we'rehere. We're here, a little Sleepviva,
We're here here, and she's gotthose three things. Netflix's Squid Games
the challenge. The contestants are threateningto file a lawsuits against them. They're
claiming they suffered hypothermia and nerve damageduring the shooting of the show. No

(00:21):
lawsuit has been filed yet, butthere is a law firm that's begun legal
action against the production company. There'salso a lot of information coming out from
contestants about what it was like,and it was not great. So earlier
this year, Netflix confirmed that therewere three people that received medical treatments while
filming the show as well, butdenied that any of the injuries were actually

(00:42):
serious. We'll see what happens withthis, especially as more and more people
come out talking about their experience withthe show kind of messed up. There's
a clip going viral right now ofa man who just broke down because he
messed up during the cookie challenge,the little Thing Cookies and he just absolutely
broke down because he lost. Andit's just circulating the internet and I feel

(01:03):
so bad for this man. SoI haven't watched the actual show yet,
but it seems pretty messed up fromevery angle. Looks good though. Oh.
Kevin Murphy's row is also getting anew one hundred and fifty acre park,
which is really great. It's gonnabe a playground, there's gonna be
hard service play areas, several pavilions. All of it's gonna happen on the
land off Veterans Parkway near Blackman Road, and we don't know when it's gonna

(01:27):
open or start, but architects havealready presented concepts of designs for the park,
so it's all making its way.Good stuff. There more greenery for
everyone, and we're all eating onrepeat. There's a new study that came
out and found that sixty percent ofpeople eat the same dinner up to four
times a week, and the reasonswhy are super relatable. It's convenient and

(01:49):
quick and easy to make, andit just becomes a habit, which makes
me kind of sad. I getit because I tend to go to the
same recipes myself, but like foodis just such an experience, we shouldn't
be eating the same things just becausewe're so exhausted or tired. Right,
you're right sad to think about Sanchez, And those are the three things you
need to know. I eat thesame things every day, breakfast, lunch,
dinner. I'm very boring, sosad. I know I get it,

(02:13):
but I'm still sad about it.Ricky zachon Man in the morning.

We had ourselves a night last nightat Family Free Thanksgiving. It was the
first time that Kevin got to meetboth of our significant others. The next
time yesterday, you guys were givingme notes, some talking points to talk
to Aj and David about and uh, I think it went well. I
really like both of them. Youkilled it, you crushed it. I
think you did really well. Kevinliterally so we were like talking about my

(04:45):
boyfriend and was like, hey,he loves grass and gravel. At one
point, Kevin puts his hands onhis hips and goes, so gravel,
Huh, let's talk about it,Let's get into it, let's get it.
And I walked into like the littledining area and Aj, you fiance.
Ricky was having a very in depthconversation with one of our listeners,
Rupa, about composts. So hethat wasn't like a joke. He's all

(05:09):
about compost He loves composts, cycling. He loves earth is really what it
is. And you guys really gotto spend a significant amount of time with
my wife, Ali, who youhad met before but never really just like
sat down and you know, gotto know Ali and I decided we're best
friends. I ripped her apart.Oh my gosh, no wonder. She
literally favorites me and we're best friends. We're gonna we're gonna go to yoga.

(05:30):
We planned yoga and that's a greatyou problem. Well, I told
her that we should go to RivieraSpa afterwards, Zach, and I love
Rivia Spose. We're gonna go toyoga and then go to Riviera Spa and
get massages. We're gonna have awhole day. I love that journey for
you. Do you? Yeah?You do you boo, because I'm definitely
not doing that. You don't wantto get massages. I have my own

(05:50):
membership. Za. I am shockedthat you're not a little more bitter because
last night you were bitter about this. Well, here's the thing is,
I know the truth. What's thetruth, Zach. The truth is that
Ali secretly loves me more, andI'm fine with that. She loves you
more. I know that everybody lovesme more. So I'm just gonna I'm

(06:13):
fine with that. You were fuminglast night when you saw this budding friendship
between Ricky and Alley. Yes,in the moment, sometimes if things get
heated, you said, daggers throughmy head. With the look that you
gave me, mess around and findout best to her. You literally looked
at me as if I had,like, I don't even know, like

(06:34):
kicked your dog or something. Messaround and find out. Whole game plan
was to become besties with my wifeAli, and so still keep your friends
close and your enemy's closer. Okay, now I feel like there's like a
tvious plot happening there. True isthe truth is that you want to go
ahead and tell him the truth.The truth is is that I was just

(06:54):
being really dramatic. Shocker. Wehad a whole plan, the three of
us said the last night, deviousplan against They're not going to yoga or
any of that stuff. It wasjust to watch you fume, watch smoke
come out of your ears. Theway I want to burn your hair right

your hair off your head. Weliterally sat down and I was like,

(08:01):
Dolly Parton has earned her highest chartingalbum ever on the Billboard two hundred.
Her rock album Rockstar comes into thisat number three on the Billboard two
hundred charts, sixty years into hercareer, which is just wild to think,
incredible. I don't know how it'staken this long. I'm like shocked
by this, but I'm so happyfor her. And just to name drop

(08:22):
one more time in case you missedit, I went to the album release
party for that and I got tomeet her, talk to her, take
a photo with her. Best dayof my life, she touched her shoulder
and everything. I don't want totalk about it. Leadership in Middle Tennessee
has launched their twenty four hours ofKindness project today. It actually officially starts
tonight. They're going to do twentyfour hour period of just kindness everywhere a

bunch of volunteers. They're gonna cometogether to do very specific projects including feeding
breakfast to local first responders, hostinga coat drive, all sorts of really
amazing things, all for twenty fourhours of kindness. So thank you guys

you will see their Kindness project rightthere, and you can see ways of
how you can get involved too.We have a new dating term and it's
one that is very seasonally fitting.Okay, the new worry in dating is
getting snow globed. Let me tryand figure out what that might mean.

(09:26):
Snow globe, it's where you're trappedin a fake bubble. No, snow
globing is a dating trend during theholiday season when a person really engages in
like loving acts and appears that theywant to be very serious, and then
they disengage, retreat and just leaveyou once the holidays have edga Oh,
is it snow globe? I think, because like you shake the snow globe

(09:48):
and everything gets all wondery and likehappy inside with all of like the snow
falling, and then once the snowfalls, all you're left with is just
the house and the trees. You'reguessing or is that really the I don't
know, that's I guess, noidea, But that's the new thing that
everybody's worried about, is getting snowglobed. I'm Ridy Sanchez and those are
the three things you need to know. Wake up happy with Ricky, Zach

(10:09):

factor of the day. Did youknow that babies under the age of one

lot cheaper. So like, myfavorite one that I've made so far is
where you take a shower curtain rodand you just like put it on your
front porch in between like the poleand the house, and you like create

(11:13):
a like you put the garland aroundit, so then it wraps around the
shower curtain rod and then down thepole so it looks really pretty in front
of your house. You don't haveto hammer any nails in or anything like
that. Ye. Yeah, Ifeel like that could look great or like
a six year old made it.Oh, I'm kind of saying that you
that looks like trash. I haven'tseen it. I don't know, I'm

Christmas ornaments out of like buckets.So you take what a bucket, yeah,
like one of those big buckets thatthey have at loads, Okay,

is just asking that you check thewebsite their website specifically to see which brands
you should not be buying if youare buying cantalope, because we don't want
you to get sick. Sure andbe careful if you have any sort of

(17:37):
fever or lightheadedness, anything like thatafter eating Cantelope, just take care of
yourself because you're probably getting food poisoning. And'mbrige Sanchez And those are the three
things you need to know. Quickpersonal question. Are you an AJ planning

a part part of our morning RickyZach and Meno in the Morning on We
had so much fun last night atour first ever family free Thanksgiving, so
many great listeners the restaurant, thefood Supper Cup on Belcourt. Thank you
guys for hosting us. Is areally great night. We had so much

(20:12):
fun with you guys. Do itagain. It's one O seven five The
River. Ricky, Zach and Manowin the Morning on one oh seven five
the River. Haley Williams of Paramore. She is going viral right now for
the concert that you just did inAustralia. It's your daily double tap on
one O seven five the River.There's like a situation on stage in this

(20:33):
video where like the pyrotechnics are allmessed up. This makes me nervous.
People can get hurt if that's theycan goes. All's weird and you can
hear it like, if you listento it, you can hear the pyrotechnics
like shoot off the wrong way.And then her reaction though to that is
it's kind of funny. Everybody's safe. Keep that in mind when she is
on stage, so she's singing thatsomebody, somebody's getting fired. Yep,

(21:15):
she's singing to the person who's doingall the pyro work for the show that
they're about to get fired. OhI hope not mistake. Yeah, but
three times she said it happened threetimes. That's scary. I'll post it
on one of seven five of theRiver's Instagram accounts so you can watch it
there, because honestly, it's it'spretty wild. The scenario when you see
it shoot off, like that's gotto be really nerve wracking on stage,

(21:37):
but the way she handled it wasjust kind of funny. What if someone
say, here, Beyonce can doit, so weekend too. She said,
somebody is getting fired. Beyonce didit, so we can too.
I can't wait to speak with you. That's a third time you've done that
to us, is what she sings. Very good Improv's style wrap up the
impressive Hailey Williams of paramore. Veryimpressive pick upackage, and it's time to

Arena. Oh my god, yay, that's a good one. Caitlyn.
You do have the option of puttingit back if you want to put it
back and selecting another number. Maybeyou're not a big Olivia Rodrigo fan.
It's totally up to you. No, my goal wants to wed any concert
tickets and I'm Olivia a trickle fan, so I'm really happy. Ricky,

(22:53):
Zach and Mano in the morning onthe River
