Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kids can cost you all out of money and sometimes
on accident.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Unfortunately, good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's Joanna and Sean and we came across this article.
It's making its rounds all over the internet right now.
But a boy in Kentucky accidentally ordered over seventy thousand
lollipops dumb dums to be exact, on Amazon, and of
course mom went to full on panic mode. Now, what
happened was is there's a carnival being held at school
(00:25):
and they said they were going to be donating some lollipops. Yeah,
so the boy took it upon himself, eight years old,
going into his mom's Amazon account ordering the dumb dums,
not realizing how much he ordered and paid for.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
But it totaled over forty two thousand dollars in dumb dums.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Forty two thousands, forty or forty four thousand, two hundred.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Okay, sorry, Even so that is still a lot of
money when it comes to dumbdos. Anything eight years old
is smart enough to figure out Amazon, especially if you
have all your credit card information saved in there. Amazon
makes it almost too easy to do that, just one
click to buy or like swipe to buy and not
know what it is right, like Keimboby's probably thought he
(01:06):
was buying in bulk and how expensive can these little
dumb dumb lollipep pops possibly be?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I know, And what's crazy? And you know some people
don't know this.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
They feel like they can return anything and everything on
Amazon Food. You cannot now why this one viral is
because she was like, all right, like I'm gonna suck
this up.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What am I gonna do?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Literally she literally She's like, I'm going to post this
on Facebook. I'm going to sell for one hundred and
thirty dollars a box still sealed, see if anybody can
want them. Yeah, And then it caught, like obviously the
attention of the local media, and it's gone viral from there. Now, Amazon,
I do want to say, did eventually, probably because of
the press that it got. Oh yeah, did refund her
the forty two hundred dollars. But still that type of panic,
(01:48):
like I can't even fathom waking up and experiencing it.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I imagine Amazon is such on this monolith of
a company. They have all these automatic things in place,
and like a refund until it gets some press and
the attention of an actual human being, right, I still,
as a parent, would be look forty two hundred dollars
like I can't afford forty two hundred dollars if my
kid accidentally bought a bunch of lollipops like my daughter's six,
(02:12):
And we still have all the protections on the computers
to prevent her from buying anything without a password. Yeah,
she tries to buy anything, she's got to come to
us for it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
No, that's that's that's the way to do it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And I'm glad at least now I'm learning about these
types of things, so I can maybe be a little
proactive and try to prevent it in the future. But
I know some people have not been able to do that.
So we asked you the question this morning. You know,
what did your kid accidentally buy that cost you a
lot of money? Seven oh two seven nine six one
six five and oh, Tina's been waiting this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Good morning, Tina.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
What was that item that your kid accidentally purchased that
cost you a lot of money?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
So?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (02:52):
For Mother's Day, this was actually a dual accident between
my husbands, and they meant to order some fancy perfume
for me, uh and ended up getting a fancy liquor
bottle instead. Nobody, I guess read the whole description or anything,
but it was it was an it was an extra
(03:12):
zero on the price that my husband thought he was paying.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Wow, So it was all right. So they thought they
were ordering what would look like a fancy perfume bottle
that it turned out to have liquor in it. Yep,
I would have been fine with it.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Well, I was okay with it. I just thought it
was so funny that like, he spent more than he
thought he was and also didn't get what he thought
he did.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
I think maybe maybe the little one picked it out.
It was thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And so you at least you are.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You drink alcohol, so it's something that you could utilize
at some point. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Now it's a special occasion. I don't know. We got
to figure out what to do with it. It's like
something the flower flavor or something.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh, the intention was there, The good intention.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Was there, lind attention was there, The intention was there.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Well, thank you for the call this morning, Tina. We
appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, I have a great day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Six kids say the darnedas things, and kids purchase the
darnedas things.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
On your credit card. Sometimes. Good morning, it's Joanna and Sean,
and we've been.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Talking about this eight year old out of Kentucky accidentally
purchased seventy thousand lollipops on Amazon, costing his mama at
the time forty two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So I've seen these stories every once in a while.
It's usually with these these apps that contain like in
that purchases, right, like it's some kid that's wracked up
thousands of dollars worth of roadblocks or like Minecraft purchases. Yes,
but this was just an Amazon purchase. And frankly, I
think Amazon makes it way too easy for this to
happen because you've got that click to buy, like, there's
(04:58):
no password necessary. Anyone can get on your Amazon account.
You could get into my Amazon account right now, Joanna,
buy anything you like, and I probably shouldn't tell you that.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No, I'm listen same here, right.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You say you save your credit card information for convenience,
and then stuff like this happens. I do want to
point out some very cute points of the story, though, Sean.
The more I read about it, it's it becomes more
and more adorable. So this eight year old once he
saw the panic ensuing on his mom's face, he did
offer his mom that he would help or recoup the
costs by selling his Pokemon cars.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh no, So like listen, accents happen. But at the
end of the day, a great kid.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And get this, the company who produces dumb Dums actually
flew the family out to the their factory in Ohio,
where they got a full on dumb Dums tour.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yur get that's they got.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
They even got sent home with more dumb dumbs.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I mean, I mean, listen, there's some really cute elements
in the story. So sometimes accents can turn into something
pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, let's don't put any ideas on My daughter's just
going to hear this and buy a bunch of Legos
and things. She's going to get sent to the Lego factory.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Sure by that.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Let's talk to Let's talk to Ellery here, Ellery, good morning.
Tell us about a time that you know, your kids
cost you a lot of money unexpectedly.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
You know, my kids when they were little, I had
twin boys, and we took them to Orlando and we,
you know, were shopping around and we went into this
one gift shop and on the ground level. They had
these lollipops, these space lollipops. Well, as we're shopping around,
my kids opened up every single one of them. Oh yeah,
this was a dumb place to put the lollipops.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
The kids, why, it's why they're there, right.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
So meanwhile, they were just totally sticky and I had
to pay for every single one of those lollipops, which
are over six dollars apiece. That really pumping me out.
And then I had to put them in the car
with no water and they were just so sticky, and
I was so embarrassed. But how dumb of a store
in Disney had to put things on the ground like that?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Oh my, I mean, what is it with lollipops and
kids too? Right, They're just so attracted to them, it seems.
But yeah, i mean six dollars a lollipop that hurts.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
A little, you buried the lead. I'm curious what are
these lollipops made of to be six bugs? They're probably
be in guessing, really enormous, right if they're at Disney.
I'm imagining these things are probably like really.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And they were like space pops or whatever. They you know,
a little design or things that would really attract kids
want to open them all.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
There's a reason. There's a reason at grocery stores they
put all the most expensive cereals down there at for
the kids, the ones that are the most sugary, sweet.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
And ellary. You said, twin boy, So double the expense there.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, oh man, I don't know what it is about
these lollipops.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The kids love them and loves spending their parents' money
unapproved with them.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, thank you for the call.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right, this is Sunny Mornings with Joanna.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm sunny Win six point five.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean on Sunny Window six
point five, Las Vegas's best variety of the eighties, nineties
and today. Now. Look, I hope I can support my
kids for as long as humanly possible, right for sure.
And these days young people are staying with their parents
further and further into adulthood. But there's a new survey
release recently that shows the moment that most young people
feel that they have finally entered adulthood and it comes
(08:26):
with paying for one certain thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh okay, that wasn't gonna be my guest paying for something, Yes, insurance.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You're close that is up there on the list. But
the phone bill, paying for your own phone bill. Seventy
six percent of Americans say their first sign of reaching
adulthood is having to pay for their phone service, which
usually occurs apparently at age twenty seven. Who knew twenty seven?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Huh it feels a little sounds a little late, but
maybe not these days, Like you said, more people living
at home. But yeah, I mean the family plan is strong,
usually with any phone line, so yeah, you hang on
to that for as long as possible.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Well, yeah, that's the thing. Like I probably was still
on a family pen planned with my parents and my
brother for a very long time, right, I'm sure I
might have been contributing to it or paying perhaps for
something else that they were part of, like a Netflix subscription, which,
by the way, seventy percent of Americans in this survey
have access to at least one subscription service account that
they don't pay for, something like Netflix. And I'm one
(09:22):
of those people.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You're still to your parents Netflix account?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No, but no, we do share a past. What we share,
Netflix passwords we share and they're going to come after
me for saying that. So we got Apple TV password
from my sister in law there. Look, there's still a
lot of passwords sharing because everyone's trying to save money, right, Yeah,
but what was it for you, Joanna? What to you
not maybe not paying a phone build with that first
(09:45):
sign that you had reached adulthood.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Honestly, it's something that I dread every single day of
my life. It's the worst, absolute worst part of becoming
an adult, and that's figuring out what's for dinner every night.
I feel like once you're on your own and you
have to cook your own meals, especially dinner, is it
is like one of those.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Pet peeves for me.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It's like the prep work, the planning, making everybody happy,
like the money, like cooking dinner for me, when I
had to start doing that on my own, men i
was an adult.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Okay, that's fascinating because mine's tangential to that. I did
some cooking at home like in every once in a while,
not often at all, But for me, the first sign
of reaching adulthood was doing the grocery shopping on my
own as an eighteen year old in college. That first
time I ever had to go to the grocery store,
like with my roommates, we get cart, no one knows
where to find anything right wandering around, We're like, oh
(10:38):
my gosh, this is real. This is it this we
have to find our own food. Now we're foraging in
a grocery store for the things that we need. Let's
all split a costco membership. And that's we did that too.
Me and my roommates split the costco membership.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And it's crazy because you know that old saying, you know,
like your parents know best and like listen to your
parents when they're young, when you're young, like you ignore
all that until you're an adult in your lie like wow,
how much is mom and dad spend it on groceries?
Like now I'm like really starting to like, you know,
feel for them because it's like, yeah, you're on your own,
you're paying for something for the first time. And I
(11:11):
think for me, like, you know, I grew up in
a one hundred percent Italian household, Like my mom was
a big cook, you know, and still is to this day.
But for me it's more or less like oh that's
not for me, Like it was like almost like the
generational shift too. Yeah, Like I didn't enjoy cooking like
she did, you know, So for me, it was just
like oh time considering in a hassle and so like
(11:31):
I hated that like passing of the torch, because I
let that torch just burn out, Like it's just not
something that I have a passion for.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I would be fascinated to hear what perhaps anyone who's
listening thinks is what was your first sign of entering adulthood?
Maybe it was paying for something, Like some of the
things mentioned in this were healthcare or tuition, doctor's expenses.
What else was there? Well, anyway, let us know, we'll
post this over on Facebook. You tell us what you
(11:59):
thought was the first of reaching adulthood six point five.
You know, it takes a special kind of a person
to want to offer support and guidance to young people
out there. And if I want to talk about one
particular motivational speaker today, it's Sunday Mornings with Joanna and
Sean on Sunny One was six point five and it's
our sunny story of the day today.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So we're going to tell you about Jay Blair, who
is a former teacher now motivational speaker who recently took
fifth graders on a journey of embracing empathy through a
workshop that he led at Hickey Elementary School. Now, feelings
it's tough for anybody to navigate, even some adults, right
But the earlier that our youth is starting to understand
(12:42):
how to understand people's feelings, especially empathy, the better off
it is shown as they get older that they are
also going to embrace that quality themselves.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I'm really grateful that we have so many sources these
days for learning and you know, imparting that kind of
know wisdom teaching on young people. There's plenty of YouTube
channels right now, right like You've you've got miss Rachel
and you've got all these other great people out there
that are you know, teaching our kids these how to
deal with feelings, which is hard for even adults to do.
(13:14):
But it's also important to have that one on one,
like in person interaction, and it's important he's doing this absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And from what I'm reading about this event that occurred
is that once the fifth graders were kind of given
a forum to express emotions and feelings, more and more
of them wanted to open up and speak too. And
so I think the you know, to have open conversations
allows our youth to maybe not feel afraid or embarrassed.
And again, I think empathy is such a strong quality.
(13:45):
I mean, my favorite people as an adult are the
empathetic kind, right that just like understand that you know,
people go through go through lots of different types of
things behind closed doors, and that you know everybody's going
through something. So if you can accept that and really
navigate through the emotion of empathy, the better off we're
all going to be.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well not because not being able to deal with your
feelings leads to I think, greater and greater consequences the
older you get, So the earlier you can teach kids
to deal with these things. And trust me, my six
year old right now is she is way better at
dealing with her feelings right now than I will, I
believe at her age.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Sure, and that's because probably they're helping teach some of
that stuff you know, younger in schools, which is amazing.
And I also love that this article says that you know,
Jay really got the fifth grader's attention by opening it
up with fruit snacks.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You know, hey, get my attention with fruits.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Snacks, handing out fruits necks.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
He started to unleash the kindness from there, and then
the empathy really the conversation of empathy really started.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So Jay is quite the incredible individual.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
So if you want to read more about him and
what he's doing in terms of teaching our youth here
in our community to navigate feelings, you can right now
at Sunny when I was sixty five dot com. Just
click on Sunny Mornings Sunny.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Mornings with Joanna and Sean.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I'm Sonny oh six point five Sean.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So, do you know anybody who doesn't like chocolate chips?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I mean, unless you're allergic, I can't imagine anyone like
has an actual distaste for them.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
No, right, I.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Agree, And you know why, I feel like, uh, it's
very deserving that today is a National Chocolate Chip Day,
such a beloved food, But there are lots of foods
out there that probably should have its own day.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
You know what, chocolate chips you can toss those into.
I mean, cookies, banana bread, I handircakes, ice cream, butter.
Oh yes, oh, I eat spoonfuls of peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Everything.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Problem with chocolate chips, though, is like my wife likes
to bake and there's always, always, always a bag of
chocolate chips in our pantry that she uses for baking
or in my case, for handfuls and chocolate chips every
once in a while. What I don't think anyone's looking.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
It's good melted on top of fruit like It's just
like a really solid food that absolutely deserves today is
their holiday.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
So what do you think is there? What day? If
you could give a national days up? And also, by
the way, send us your talk bikes on the ieheap?
What food you think deserves its own national day? But
what's that for you? Joanna?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So during the break, I actually just was looking up
to make sure the food that came to mind for
me doesn't have a day already, okay, and I can't
find it. But I think this type of cheese deserves
its national day of recognition, and that is Barata cheese.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I got a day.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Don't know anybody that dislikes Barata cheese either. It makes
everything better, salads, sandwiches on its own, on little toasties,
everything is better with Barata.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I'm on board with that. Invite me to whatever Barada
Day party you're gonna have at your house. I'm sure
it's going to be swell. You always do a party.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Right, That's a solid idea.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But I just feel like Barata is like the best
cheese out there, and so for me, that has got
my vote for a national food holiday.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's very deserving. How about you.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I'm going with crem Breulet. I've said it a million
I bet it might. I'm just I don't feel like
googling it. It feels niche enough that it maybe does.
But it's like the kind of thing where if I'm
at at any restaurant and I see it on the
menu for dessert, I'm having dessert that meal, Like, I
just have to Cumberlay. Is that good to me?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
National Cremberlay Day.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I just feel like that is such a popular dessert too,
Like people, that was one of the desserts I featured
on at my baby shower recently, and it and it does.
It's coming up July twenty seven, So start marking that,
you know in your phone the celebrated at my house.
Yeah yeah, and shout out to Marshay Bacchus at the Lakes.
They have awesome Cremberley.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Oh my goodness, let's go to some of these talk
backs because I'm really hungry. Now, what do you think needs?
It's what food deserves its own day. This is Bonnie
on the talk bag, Mike.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
I'm going to say guacamole should have its own day.
I know there's Talker Tuesday, but guacamole is not necessarily
an ingredient, and I think guacamali is a worthy contender
because it is amazing. My mom remembers the first time
she ate guacamole life. It was in her early twenty
(18:02):
and it was life changing.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I believe it was life changing for me to life changing.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And Bonnie, I just looked it up for you. It's
actually coming up September sixteenth.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well, now she's got something to put on the calendar.
Who else we got here? Troy? Troy's on the talk back.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I would say Boston cream donuts deserve their own day
because they're the best kind of donuts. Yeah, and I
enjoyed them.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I would agree with that, Boston cream, but very any cream.
Give me any cream filled donuts.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
All right, and listen, September is popular, Bonnie and Troy
back to back because September fourteenth is Boston cream donut.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Look, you've got an answer for everything.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I'm looking it up in real time because I really
feel like almost every.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Food has a day.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Okay, well, don't don't spoil it for Maggie. Then we'll talk.
We'll hear Maggie's suggestion.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
The food that deserves national recognition is fondue. Mom new
is totally like overlooked.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
It's an amazing meal.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You get to share conversation with friends, You get cheese, amazing, chocolate, amazing,
stake amazing. There's nothing bad about fondue. And I think
that we need a fondue Day.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
That's what I think.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
We could call it a fun day.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well, Maggie, you're in luck. It passed already. Oh but
it was April eleventh, So there you go. Literally, every
food has a day and they're all deserving.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Celebrate them whenever you want.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Sunny Little six
Kids can cost you all out of money and sometimes
on accident.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Unfortunately, good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's Joanna and Sean and we came across this article.
It's making its rounds all over the internet right now.
But a boy in Kentucky accidentally ordered over seventy thousand
lollipops dumb dums to be exact, on Amazon, and of
course mom went to full on panic mode. Now, what
happened was is there's a carnival being held at school
(00:25):
and they said they were going to be donating some lollipops. Yeah,
so the boy took it upon himself, eight years old,
going into his mom's Amazon account ordering the dumb dums,
not realizing how much he ordered and paid for.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
But it totaled over forty two thousand dollars in dumb dums.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Forty two thousands, forty or forty four thousand, two hundred.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Okay, sorry, Even so that is still a lot of
money when it comes to dumbdos. Anything eight years old
is smart enough to figure out Amazon, especially if you
have all your credit card information saved in there. Amazon
makes it almost too easy to do that, just one
click to buy or like swipe to buy and not
know what it is right, like Keimboby's probably thought he
(01:06):
was buying in bulk and how expensive can these little
dumb dumb lollipep pops possibly be?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I know, And what's crazy? And you know some people
don't know this.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
They feel like they can return anything and everything on
Amazon Food. You cannot now why this one viral is
because she was like, all right, like I'm gonna suck
this up.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What am I gonna do?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Literally she literally She's like, I'm going to post this
on Facebook. I'm going to sell for one hundred and
thirty dollars a box still sealed, see if anybody can
want them. Yeah, And then it caught, like obviously the
attention of the local media, and it's gone viral from there. Now, Amazon,
I do want to say, did eventually, probably because of
the press that it got. Oh yeah, did refund her
the forty two hundred dollars. But still that type of panic,
(01:48):
like I can't even fathom waking up and experiencing it.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I imagine Amazon is such on this monolith of
a company. They have all these automatic things in place,
and like a refund until it gets some press and
the attention of an actual human being, right, I still,
as a parent, would be look forty two hundred dollars
like I can't afford forty two hundred dollars if my
kid accidentally bought a bunch of lollipops like my daughter's six,
(02:12):
And we still have all the protections on the computers
to prevent her from buying anything without a password. Yeah,
she tries to buy anything, she's got to come to
us for it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
No, that's that's that's the way to do it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And I'm glad at least now I'm learning about these
types of things, so I can maybe be a little
proactive and try to prevent it in the future. But
I know some people have not been able to do that.
So we asked you the question this morning. You know,
what did your kid accidentally buy that cost you a
lot of money? Seven oh two seven nine six one
six five and oh, Tina's been waiting this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Good morning, Tina.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
What was that item that your kid accidentally purchased that
cost you a lot of money?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
So?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (02:52):
For Mother's Day, this was actually a dual accident between
my husbands, and they meant to order some fancy perfume
for me, uh and ended up getting a fancy liquor
bottle instead. Nobody, I guess read the whole description or anything,
but it was it was an it was an extra
(03:12):
zero on the price that my husband thought he was paying.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Wow, So it was all right. So they thought they
were ordering what would look like a fancy perfume bottle
that it turned out to have liquor in it. Yep,
I would have been fine with it.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Well, I was okay with it. I just thought it
was so funny that like, he spent more than he
thought he was and also didn't get what he thought
he did.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
I think maybe maybe the little one picked it out.
It was thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And so you at least you are.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You drink alcohol, so it's something that you could utilize
at some point. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Now it's a special occasion. I don't know. We got
to figure out what to do with it. It's like
something the flower flavor or something.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh, the intention was there, The good intention.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Was there, lind attention was there, The intention was there.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Well, thank you for the call this morning, Tina. We
appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, I have a great day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Six kids say the darnedas things, and kids purchase the
darnedas things.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
On your credit card. Sometimes. Good morning, it's Joanna and Sean,
and we've been.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Talking about this eight year old out of Kentucky accidentally
purchased seventy thousand lollipops on Amazon, costing his mama at
the time forty two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So I've seen these stories every once in a while.
It's usually with these these apps that contain like in
that purchases, right, like it's some kid that's wracked up
thousands of dollars worth of roadblocks or like Minecraft purchases. Yes,
but this was just an Amazon purchase. And frankly, I
think Amazon makes it way too easy for this to
happen because you've got that click to buy, like, there's
(04:58):
no password necessary. Anyone can get on your Amazon account.
You could get into my Amazon account right now, Joanna,
buy anything you like, and I probably shouldn't tell you that.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No, I'm listen same here, right.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You say you save your credit card information for convenience,
and then stuff like this happens. I do want to
point out some very cute points of the story, though, Sean.
The more I read about it, it's it becomes more
and more adorable. So this eight year old once he
saw the panic ensuing on his mom's face, he did
offer his mom that he would help or recoup the
costs by selling his Pokemon cars.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh no, So like listen, accents happen. But at the
end of the day, a great kid.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And get this, the company who produces dumb Dums actually
flew the family out to the their factory in Ohio,
where they got a full on dumb Dums tour.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yur get that's they got.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
They even got sent home with more dumb dumbs.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I mean, I mean, listen, there's some really cute elements
in the story. So sometimes accents can turn into something
pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, let's don't put any ideas on My daughter's just
going to hear this and buy a bunch of Legos
and things. She's going to get sent to the Lego factory.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Sure by that.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Let's talk to Let's talk to Ellery here, Ellery, good morning.
Tell us about a time that you know, your kids
cost you a lot of money unexpectedly.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
You know, my kids when they were little, I had
twin boys, and we took them to Orlando and we,
you know, were shopping around and we went into this
one gift shop and on the ground level. They had
these lollipops, these space lollipops. Well, as we're shopping around,
my kids opened up every single one of them. Oh yeah,
this was a dumb place to put the lollipops.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
The kids, why, it's why they're there, right.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
So meanwhile, they were just totally sticky and I had
to pay for every single one of those lollipops, which
are over six dollars apiece. That really pumping me out.
And then I had to put them in the car
with no water and they were just so sticky, and
I was so embarrassed. But how dumb of a store
in Disney had to put things on the ground like that?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Oh my, I mean, what is it with lollipops and
kids too? Right, They're just so attracted to them, it seems.
But yeah, i mean six dollars a lollipop that hurts.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
A little, you buried the lead. I'm curious what are
these lollipops made of to be six bugs? They're probably
be in guessing, really enormous, right if they're at Disney.
I'm imagining these things are probably like really.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And they were like space pops or whatever. They you know,
a little design or things that would really attract kids
want to open them all.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
There's a reason. There's a reason at grocery stores they
put all the most expensive cereals down there at for
the kids, the ones that are the most sugary, sweet.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
And ellary. You said, twin boy, So double the expense there.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, oh man, I don't know what it is about
these lollipops.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The kids love them and loves spending their parents' money
unapproved with them.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, thank you for the call.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right, this is Sunny Mornings with Joanna.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm sunny Win six point five.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean on Sunny Window six
point five, Las Vegas's best variety of the eighties, nineties
and today. Now. Look, I hope I can support my
kids for as long as humanly possible, right for sure.
And these days young people are staying with their parents
further and further into adulthood. But there's a new survey
release recently that shows the moment that most young people
feel that they have finally entered adulthood and it comes
(08:26):
with paying for one certain thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh okay, that wasn't gonna be my guest paying for something, Yes, insurance.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You're close that is up there on the list. But
the phone bill, paying for your own phone bill. Seventy
six percent of Americans say their first sign of reaching
adulthood is having to pay for their phone service, which
usually occurs apparently at age twenty seven. Who knew twenty seven?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Huh it feels a little sounds a little late, but
maybe not these days, Like you said, more people living
at home. But yeah, I mean the family plan is strong,
usually with any phone line, so yeah, you hang on
to that for as long as possible.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Well, yeah, that's the thing. Like I probably was still
on a family pen planned with my parents and my
brother for a very long time, right, I'm sure I
might have been contributing to it or paying perhaps for
something else that they were part of, like a Netflix subscription, which,
by the way, seventy percent of Americans in this survey
have access to at least one subscription service account that
they don't pay for, something like Netflix. And I'm one
(09:22):
of those people.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You're still to your parents Netflix account?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No, but no, we do share a past. What we share,
Netflix passwords we share and they're going to come after
me for saying that. So we got Apple TV password
from my sister in law there. Look, there's still a
lot of passwords sharing because everyone's trying to save money, right, Yeah,
but what was it for you, Joanna? What to you
not maybe not paying a phone build with that first
(09:45):
sign that you had reached adulthood.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Honestly, it's something that I dread every single day of
my life. It's the worst, absolute worst part of becoming
an adult, and that's figuring out what's for dinner every night.
I feel like once you're on your own and you
have to cook your own meals, especially dinner, is it
is like one of those.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Pet peeves for me.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It's like the prep work, the planning, making everybody happy,
like the money, like cooking dinner for me, when I
had to start doing that on my own, men i
was an adult.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Okay, that's fascinating because mine's tangential to that. I did
some cooking at home like in every once in a while,
not often at all, But for me, the first sign
of reaching adulthood was doing the grocery shopping on my
own as an eighteen year old in college. That first
time I ever had to go to the grocery store,
like with my roommates, we get cart, no one knows
where to find anything right wandering around, We're like, oh
(10:38):
my gosh, this is real. This is it this we
have to find our own food. Now we're foraging in
a grocery store for the things that we need. Let's
all split a costco membership. And that's we did that too.
Me and my roommates split the costco membership.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And it's crazy because you know that old saying, you know,
like your parents know best and like listen to your
parents when they're young, when you're young, like you ignore
all that until you're an adult in your lie like wow,
how much is mom and dad spend it on groceries?
Like now I'm like really starting to like, you know,
feel for them because it's like, yeah, you're on your own,
you're paying for something for the first time. And I
(11:11):
think for me, like, you know, I grew up in
a one hundred percent Italian household, Like my mom was
a big cook, you know, and still is to this day.
But for me it's more or less like oh that's
not for me, Like it was like almost like the
generational shift too. Yeah, Like I didn't enjoy cooking like
she did, you know, So for me, it was just
like oh time considering in a hassle and so like
(11:31):
I hated that like passing of the torch, because I
let that torch just burn out, Like it's just not
something that I have a passion for.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I would be fascinated to hear what perhaps anyone who's
listening thinks is what was your first sign of entering adulthood?
Maybe it was paying for something, Like some of the
things mentioned in this were healthcare or tuition, doctor's expenses.
What else was there? Well, anyway, let us know, we'll
post this over on Facebook. You tell us what you
(11:59):
thought was the first of reaching adulthood six point five.
You know, it takes a special kind of a person
to want to offer support and guidance to young people
out there. And if I want to talk about one
particular motivational speaker today, it's Sunday Mornings with Joanna and
Sean on Sunny One was six point five and it's
our sunny story of the day today.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So we're going to tell you about Jay Blair, who
is a former teacher now motivational speaker who recently took
fifth graders on a journey of embracing empathy through a
workshop that he led at Hickey Elementary School. Now, feelings
it's tough for anybody to navigate, even some adults, right
But the earlier that our youth is starting to understand
(12:42):
how to understand people's feelings, especially empathy, the better off
it is shown as they get older that they are
also going to embrace that quality themselves.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I'm really grateful that we have so many sources these
days for learning and you know, imparting that kind of
know wisdom teaching on young people. There's plenty of YouTube
channels right now, right like You've you've got miss Rachel
and you've got all these other great people out there
that are you know, teaching our kids these how to
deal with feelings, which is hard for even adults to do.
(13:14):
But it's also important to have that one on one,
like in person interaction, and it's important he's doing this absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And from what I'm reading about this event that occurred
is that once the fifth graders were kind of given
a forum to express emotions and feelings, more and more
of them wanted to open up and speak too. And
so I think the you know, to have open conversations
allows our youth to maybe not feel afraid or embarrassed.
And again, I think empathy is such a strong quality.
(13:45):
I mean, my favorite people as an adult are the
empathetic kind, right that just like understand that you know,
people go through go through lots of different types of
things behind closed doors, and that you know everybody's going
through something. So if you can accept that and really
navigate through the emotion of empathy, the better off we're
all going to be.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well not because not being able to deal with your
feelings leads to I think, greater and greater consequences the
older you get, So the earlier you can teach kids
to deal with these things. And trust me, my six
year old right now is she is way better at
dealing with her feelings right now than I will, I
believe at her age.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Sure, and that's because probably they're helping teach some of
that stuff you know, younger in schools, which is amazing.
And I also love that this article says that you know,
Jay really got the fifth grader's attention by opening it
up with fruit snacks.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You know, hey, get my attention with fruits.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Snacks, handing out fruits necks.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
He started to unleash the kindness from there, and then
the empathy really the conversation of empathy really started.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So Jay is quite the incredible individual.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
So if you want to read more about him and
what he's doing in terms of teaching our youth here
in our community to navigate feelings, you can right now
at Sunny when I was sixty five dot com. Just
click on Sunny Mornings Sunny.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Mornings with Joanna and Sean.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I'm Sonny oh six point five Sean.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So, do you know anybody who doesn't like chocolate chips?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I mean, unless you're allergic, I can't imagine anyone like
has an actual distaste for them.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
No, right, I.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Agree, And you know why, I feel like, uh, it's
very deserving that today is a National Chocolate Chip Day,
such a beloved food, But there are lots of foods
out there that probably should have its own day.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
You know what, chocolate chips you can toss those into.
I mean, cookies, banana bread, I handircakes, ice cream, butter.
Oh yes, oh, I eat spoonfuls of peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Everything.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Problem with chocolate chips, though, is like my wife likes
to bake and there's always, always, always a bag of
chocolate chips in our pantry that she uses for baking
or in my case, for handfuls and chocolate chips every
once in a while. What I don't think anyone's looking.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
It's good melted on top of fruit like It's just
like a really solid food that absolutely deserves today is
their holiday.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
So what do you think is there? What day? If
you could give a national days up? And also, by
the way, send us your talk bikes on the ieheap?
What food you think deserves its own national day? But
what's that for you? Joanna?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So during the break, I actually just was looking up
to make sure the food that came to mind for
me doesn't have a day already, okay, and I can't
find it. But I think this type of cheese deserves
its national day of recognition, and that is Barata cheese.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I got a day.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Don't know anybody that dislikes Barata cheese either. It makes
everything better, salads, sandwiches on its own, on little toasties,
everything is better with Barata.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I'm on board with that. Invite me to whatever Barada
Day party you're gonna have at your house. I'm sure
it's going to be swell. You always do a party.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Right, That's a solid idea.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But I just feel like Barata is like the best
cheese out there, and so for me, that has got
my vote for a national food holiday.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's very deserving. How about you.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I'm going with crem Breulet. I've said it a million
I bet it might. I'm just I don't feel like
googling it. It feels niche enough that it maybe does.
But it's like the kind of thing where if I'm
at at any restaurant and I see it on the
menu for dessert, I'm having dessert that meal, Like, I
just have to Cumberlay. Is that good to me?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
National Cremberlay Day.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I just feel like that is such a popular dessert too,
Like people, that was one of the desserts I featured
on at my baby shower recently, and it and it does.
It's coming up July twenty seven, So start marking that,
you know in your phone the celebrated at my house.
Yeah yeah, and shout out to Marshay Bacchus at the Lakes.
They have awesome Cremberley.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Oh my goodness, let's go to some of these talk
backs because I'm really hungry. Now, what do you think needs?
It's what food deserves its own day. This is Bonnie
on the talk bag, Mike.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
I'm going to say guacamole should have its own day.
I know there's Talker Tuesday, but guacamole is not necessarily
an ingredient, and I think guacamali is a worthy contender
because it is amazing. My mom remembers the first time
she ate guacamole life. It was in her early twenty
(18:02):
and it was life changing.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I believe it was life changing for me to life changing.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And Bonnie, I just looked it up for you. It's
actually coming up September sixteenth.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well, now she's got something to put on the calendar.
Who else we got here? Troy? Troy's on the talk back.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I would say Boston cream donuts deserve their own day
because they're the best kind of donuts. Yeah, and I
enjoyed them.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I would agree with that, Boston cream, but very any cream.
Give me any cream filled donuts.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
All right, and listen, September is popular, Bonnie and Troy
back to back because September fourteenth is Boston cream donut.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Look, you've got an answer for everything.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I'm looking it up in real time because I really
feel like almost every.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Food has a day.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Okay, well, don't don't spoil it for Maggie. Then we'll talk.
We'll hear Maggie's suggestion.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
The food that deserves national recognition is fondue. Mom new
is totally like overlooked.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
It's an amazing meal.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You get to share conversation with friends, You get cheese, amazing, chocolate, amazing,
stake amazing. There's nothing bad about fondue. And I think
that we need a fondue Day.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
That's what I think.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
We could call it a fun day.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well, Maggie, you're in luck. It passed already. Oh but
it was April eleventh, So there you go. Literally, every
food has a day and they're all deserving.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Celebrate them whenever you want.
