going to be out of town too for a couple
of days, going out to a wedding in Nashville. That
should be kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
That's gonna be awesome. You don't sound that excited about it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, it's because it's all coming back to me right now,
Like I forgot that I have to get on a
plane on like Friday afternoon. But no, I'm amped about it.

good time. It's gonna be great.

perfect time for people to get married. I mean, I
got married eleven years ago on May twenty fifth, so
I'll be celebrating that this weekend, So it's gonna be
a fun week head fun by.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'm so glad at Joanna that I did not just
say that that these guys, these folks are hijacking my
Memorial Day weekend for their wedding. Now that I remembered that,
your anniversary is on the twenty fifth.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Listen, mine fell eleven years ago, fell on a Sunday, right, Yeah,
I figured people weren't going to have work on Monday.
And at that time, all my husband's family lived in Portland, Oregon.

All my family lived in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
You're right about that, and we're gonna bring you all
the fun as well. And speaking of fun, you know,
we talked about weddings and anniversaries, what about birthdays? What
about unique birthdays? Because there's a story out there that
is so adorable about a one year old's first birthday party.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And the theme that the mom.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Decided to throw for her daughter's first birthday.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Certainly an unexpected one for a one year old. It
blew my mind when you showed me this, So let's
let's talk about this next. We'll reveal what that birthday
party theme was for a one year old. But let's
take some calls too on the the most unique birthday
party theme that you have seen or been a part
of seven oh two, seven nine six, one oh six five.
(03:09):
Will get into that after crowded House.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Good Morning, Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I'm Sonny one o six point five.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Birthday parties can sometimes go viral for very adorable reasons.
Good morning, It's Johanna and Sean right here on Sunny
one o six point five, and we want to know
what's the most unique themed child's birthday party you've ever attended?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Seven oh two seven nine six, one oh six five.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And we're talking about this because it's gone viral on
social media.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's very adorable.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But it looks like one mom has thrown her daughter
a Law and Order themed birthday. That, of course, yeah,
now is going viral because who throws a one year
old a Law and Order themed birthday?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Well well, well, first of all, let's start with the
fact that Law and Order is one of the greatest
TV shows that's ever been around, Right.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I've never seen that.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh it's oh come, it's so so good. But look,
they had all kinds of fun Law and Order themed
like decor and snacks. There was what fingerprint cookies. They
had ice tea because you know, the wrapper iced tea.
He stars in the show, right, so ice tea drinks.
What I like about the fact that this is like
(04:20):
a one year old's birthday is as a parent, when
your kids are that young, you kind of get to
make the choice, right. It's not like when they're older
and they're like, I want no Paw Patrol themed birthday.
You get to make that decision as a parent when
your kid is one, which I think is super fun.
Opens the door to a lot of interesting possibilities and no.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Absolutely and I think I do like to how the
reason this mom chose this is because it was like
her Binge watching show when she was pregnant with her daughter,
and so you know, she had a little bit of
sentimental attachment to it. And it looks like the mom
absolutely knocked it out of the park. For me, I
wouldn't say it was like a crazy unique theme, But
(05:01):
for my son Brock's first birthday, we did a magic
theme because his whole first year, I feel like we
always referred to him as our great Brock Deini. Yeah,
because he was just like such like a magical miracle
that came into our lives, and so we always called
him Brock Deini, and so we threw a magic themed
birthday and again that sentimental tie in.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
What were some of your first birthday themes?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I mean for I don't remember mine.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
You mean for you for your kids?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Oh oh okay, well look so for my son because
look he was also I've mentioned this many times. He
was born four months premature, and you know, we almost
lost him. And I don't know, man, this is going
to get really deep right now, I'm not trying to
do that. But our first birthday party for him was
(05:47):
Harry Potter themed, and it was from because the first
chapter of the first book is called The Boy who Lived,
so that was him. He was in our lives, he
was the Boy who Lived. So the whole birthday party was, like,
you know, Harry Potter theme, and that was the reason
we went in that direction. I wasn't trying to get
all emotional this morning.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I said, let little trips down memory and Lane can
sometimes do just that, but nonetheless adorable themes. And we
want to hear about other.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Adorable, unique birthday party themes this morning.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yes, let's go to May here. It's going on May
good morning. Tell us about a kid's birthday party theme
that you found particularly enjoyable.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Well, I had wasn't necessarily a theme. That was kind
of a thrown together as like with whatever they had around,
and it was a scavenger hunt party, but it ended
up being costumed with whatever oh the host found basically
and like made up these little costume bags and whatever
was in your bag you had to wear and then
run around and try and find figs and you're not
(06:45):
you're you're outside other people are seeing you in your
silly costumes. But because it was a whole horde of us,
it was a great time.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Ah at sometimes the best last minute stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Right Oh, that's kind of feels like a take on
like one of those like a Goodwill uh sure party
where you go into credit shot put together like the
silliest out but you can find in the thrift store.
Those are fun too, exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I love those.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Oh you have such a good time, you know where
you laugh to your stomach hurts one of.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Those, right, No, that's so good. Well, I mean shout
out to anyone who can think on their feet that quickly,
and like, you know, if you got to throw a
together a party really quickly, that sounds like sounds like
it came up.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Really well, it did, it really did.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Thank you May for the call.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Absolutely, you guys.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Have a great day, you do, Sonny.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Six point first birthdays can be so memorable for so
many reasons, especially when a unique.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Theme is tied to it.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Good morning, It's Joetta and Sean right here on Sunny
when I was six point five. And even though I
haven't seen this show ever, I do know that the
it's famous for the sound done done.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yes right, yes, I was. You know what I wanted to.
I wanted to mention that, but I was afraid you
wouldn't get it. So I should have pulled I should
have pulled the sound and used it. But oh well,
it's fine.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I know the sound. I just never seen the show.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, John Dunn, I wish I could. I'm not doing
it justice at all right now. But yes, one of
the greatest shows ever. And I think a great theme
for anyone's birthday, but for a first. A one year
old's party is great, complete with fingerprinted cookies and iced
tea drinks, just fantastically executed by this mom, so cute.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
So adorable.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Obviously a unique theme that's special to the mom. I
give a little backstory, a little bit ago. How the
mom's favorite TV show when she was pregnant with her
daughter was Law and Order. So that's why it's a
child's first birthday party theme. And that's what we're taking
calls on this morning. Unique birthday parties that you have attended.
Maybe it's had a cool theme, so.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
We want to hear from you, Chevin oh two seven
nine six, one oh six five.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Let's go to how about Joan this time? Hey, Joan,
good morning. Was there a kid's birthday party you went
to that was particularly memorable to you.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
I went to one party and it was just a
large yard and I had every kind of bounce house
for the kids. It was really really cute, but the
kids were so sweaty, and it was for an adult,
it was a little bit much, but it was really
a fun party. And their whole theme was bounce Bounce.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Okay, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
So I had like a bunch of different bounce houses
in the backyard.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Okay, right, it was really fun for the kids.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I was going to say in here, depending on the
time of the year, it could be very sweaty.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
It's very hot. That's the service of those bounce houses.
At some points here in Vegas it would get very hot.
So yeah, there's probably a lot of stress on the parents.
But the kids they don't mind, they don't.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Care, they don't care.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Get in that house and bounce, that's what they about,
and then go to the next one and bounce again,
and then.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Take a really good nap later.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Right, Like that's a good theme, you know, especially have
young ones that still nap.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You're like, yes, they're going to sleep, So.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Yeah, bounce.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I've been to parties with one bounce house, but not
more than one. This must have been a nice neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Well it's a big yard. Yeah, I had the money
to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Ate more power to them. Thank you so much, Joan.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Okay, thank you a good one.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
This is Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I'm Sonny one oh six point five.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You know, for years we have heard that people are
too addicted to their phones, but would appear that more
and more adults are becoming disenchanted with technology and actually
spending thousands of dollars to disconnect. It's Sunny Mornings with
Joanna and Sean on Sunny Window six point five, and
we're going to talk about digital detox. Vacations, Joanna, what
are your thoughts upon hearing those words?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh? I love it. I would fully support that for anybody.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I do probably think, you know, if you're going on
a vacation you have kids at home, that may be
a little bit hard to do because you want to
check it on your family. But if you can go
someplace and and really disconnect, meaning getting off social getting
off email, and fully letting go, I'm all about it.
And I'm glad that you brought it up because I
know you are going to be starting White Lotus season
(11:12):
three soon.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, it's it's such a good season And a big
focal point for a particular family in the show is
that they lock up their cell phones at like this
wellness retreat resort. So I think it is truly catching on,
like in real life.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, well we're seeing a lot of that, right So
Hilton just they released this report that says that twenty
seven percent of adults want to vacation with less time
on their phones and more time experiencing life. And can
I tell you how often I watch concerts on YouTube
from like the nineties, like Woodstock and stuff, and everyone says,
no one's on their phone. Everyone's living in the moment.
(11:50):
I long for those times, right, And you know, I
go to coffee shops now and there's signs on the
wall that say no Wi Fi, and there's no TVs.
They got board games out there. It seems like even
businesses are going out of their way to say, like, hey,
no Wi Fi. Why don't you talk to each other?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I've seen those sides, like signs on like the sidewalk
outside of like cafes and stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I think that's very I think that's very cute.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So again, I think that for people's overall well being,
I think it's important.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And I know that.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I don't know if this not calling you out in
any way, Sean, but I do remember at one point
in your email signature, like you told you you like
had something in there that said, like, Hey, if you're
receiving this email after hours, don't feel like you have
to respond back to me.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Do you still have that in your email?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I don't, And that's because, Okay, I don't want to
get into like into the weeds on this, but are
our company mandated that everyone's signature had to look the same,
so I was forced to take that out. But yes,
I was like, look, if you're replying to like just
because I sent you an email at night at night,
it's because that's when I had a chance to send it.
So don't feel like you are you know, you have
to respond, like respond to the time. That's good for you,
(12:59):
you know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
No, And I'm not calling you out in a negative way.
I'm calling you out and because I thought that was
really cool of you.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Ay, Like I think like, oh, the more, you know,
the more people are reminded that, like, hey, like listen,
like you know, like enjoy time with your family, like
be present after hours after work when you're at home,
Like I think that's so important, you know.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, and uh, you know what. One of the draws
of cell phones for years was like, oh, you can
do everything with it, right, Well, people don't want to
do everything with their phone anymore. I've noticed, right, like
people are intentionally getting dumb phones, you know, quote unquote
dumb phones that don't have all the tech so that
they can just use it for phone calls and not
get distracted by apps and things like that. When I'm
(13:38):
on vacation, I have an actual camera, believe it or not,
and I like to just turn my phone off and
use my camera to take pictures so I don't get distracted,
you know, unintentionally by notifications and stuff when I take
my phone out to take photos. So I love the
digital detox vacations. Please sign me one, sign me up
for one of these things today.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Absolutely, I'm all about it and we fully support it
here on Sunny Mornings.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Six point five Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean on
Sunny Window six point five, so twice every morning we
bring you our sunny story of the day. What we
hope is that it gives you some hope, maybe inspires
you in some way, shape or form. And I think
what Joanna's found here today really really fits that. Bill.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Absolutely, I'm glad you brought up hope. You know, we
often hear how you know, churches and nonprofit organizations spread
kindness in different ways and teach us to give back
to others. But it's also happening in very unlikely places
like a prison in Utah. And so we're going to
tell you about the community inside the Utah State Correctional
(14:47):
Facility that's getting a chance to learn more about kindness,
kindness to others, and of course kindness to themselves.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Now there's a group out there called.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The One Kind Act a Day, and they are bringing
lessons inside prisons to help inmates learn more about kindness.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Look, I think that if anyone needs the assistance, it's
those that are incarcerated, right like that, You're going to have.
One of my closest friends in life is a you know, rehabilitated.
He spent a couple of years in jail, right and
I would say that he is a rehabilitated person. But
(15:29):
the problem is that society is not kind to you,
nor is it easy. Sure when you are released, things
like getting just things as simple as jobs are really
hard to come by. Your very easily disregarded, and it's
a lot to deal with, you know, just the stigma
(15:50):
that comes with being recently incarcerated or being incarcerated. I
think you need more assistance to deal with that personally,
and to your point, show your self kindness and other
people kindness as well.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, And what I think is really cool about this
group is listen. It's not like a force mandated thing
for people in the prison system. Inmates can attend if
they are truly interested, and usually what's really cool is
that they get a very good crowd response, and you know,
everybody's coming from different upbringings in different situations, but many
of them are learning kindness for the very first time
(16:24):
in their life. And a lot of those you know
prisoners walk away and are saying because of this program,
they're so grateful that they had a chance to better themselves,
better understand people, better understand feelings, and realize that somebody
out there notices them and actually cares to help. So
I just think it is a very inspiring story that
(16:46):
provides people a lot of hope.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
And it's necessary. Without getting too deep, it's you know,
I think too much of our prison system on just
like a national scale, thrives on recidivism. So if you
can take care of yourself in a way that prevents
you from ending back up where you started, you know,
behind bars again, this is incredibly important. I'm just I'm
(17:10):
just glad that there's those kinds of resources out there
for these people.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah, and to know what's happening so close to us
in Utah, who knows it will maybe soon be happening
in prison systems here.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
In Nevada as well. So if you want to read more.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
About this incredible group, teaching kindness and very unlikely places.
You can right now at Sunnyweo six five dot com.
Just click on Sunny Mornings.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Wake up with Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I'm Sonny six point five.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Everything that was popular at some point always becomes popular again.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's Joanna and Sean right here on Sunny When I
was six point five, and you know, like things like
bell bottom jeans. Look at that we haven't worm for years,
But then Kendrick Lamar rocked him at the super Bowl
and those things are cool again.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Right, Absolutely, a lot of fashion. I mean fashion is
probably the best example of that, right It something that's
cyclical that comes back every like thirty or forty years.
Those things are cool again, yes.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And now I guess it's happening with vehicles as well. Now.
I think most of us who remember the good old days,
the easier days, the simpler time of the eighties and
early nineties. You know, you remember the types of vehicles
that your parents drove in, and a lot of them
very cool back then, that not so cool as you
got older. And I'm talking about this morning the minivan,
(18:27):
because it looks like mini vans are now being taken
to the next level. And maybe I'm passionate and defensive
about them because I own one myself.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Look, look I'm going to tell you right now, I
have been hankering for a minivan, like I'm living my
best dad life right now. So you mentioned like the
late eighties early not like the kind of the heyday
of minivans, I guess, or at least the first time around.
I grew up with a minivan. My parents had like
a white early nineties like Dodge Dodge already the caravan,
I think it was a Dodge Grand Caravan. We had
(18:58):
one of those. And now, as an adult with two
kids who like maybe has other neighbor kids they want
to haul around with them, I've been looking at getting
a minivan like they're super popular and these things have
like everything in them now, like they're super loaded with
all kinds of features.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, And it's so funny because my husband, like anybody,
if you can call, you can call my husband right now,
and he would be like the like, tell you his
whole pitch on why minivans are the best types of
vehicles out there, And he's like and he it's like
his favorite topic to talk to anybody about it, Someone's like, oh,
what minivan you rock in? Like, my husband will go
into like a full on the thesis about why it
(19:37):
is so awesome to own a minivan as an adult
with children.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
And I will tell you what. When he first wanted
this minivan a few years back, I was.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Like, Eh, we sure, we don't look at any other
type of ass you've and he's like, no, the minivan
is where it's at. And honestly, I've learned to love
the minivan myself. I think mini vans definitely help out families,
especially with kids or you know, if you have got
a bunch of pets in your household, Like they're so convenient.
And now it looks like certain minivans out there are
being taken to the next level. I mean, Mercedes Benz
(20:08):
is getting behind the minivan. I mean it's not just
you know, something that's looked at is not cool anymore.
They're becoming cool again.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, these things have really become like just family. I
don't want to necessarily say like a status symbol, but
like they're no longer looked down upon. They're like they're
loaded with all kinds of stuff. I mean, I've been
doing the research in like the Toyota Siena Chrysler. I
think your husband drives a Chrysler Pacifica, doesn't.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
He He drives a Chrysler pacific A hybrid.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
So a plug in minivan, and it's great.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I mean, I'm telling you, like I even enjoy driving
it myself these days, even though it's his main source
of transportation. Anytime I can hop behind the wheel of
the minivan, I'm loving life too.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I'm telling you, I'm on fully on board with getting
a minivan. We mentioned a second ago, how the another
vehicle that kind of was cool and then not cool
and then came back was the uh was it the
Volkswagen Beetle, right, yeah, oh yeah, I was just googling that.
Apparently they stopped manufacturing those in twenty nineteen. But you
(21:09):
know how things are cyclical. I'm telling you right now, Joanna,
Beetles are making a comeback in like the twenty forties
or fifties. They'll be back.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I hope so, because I feel like maybe in a couple,
like a couple of years, like that's a vehicle like
I could fully get behind to liked like sometimes these
big giant vehicles that intimidate me.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
But a beetle, a pink one preferably, I think I
could rock.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, you would have the flower headlights and everything exactly
Son
Good morning and happy Monday. It's Joanna and Sean right
here on sunny when I was six point five. I
love starting off a Monday, Sean, when it's attached to
an upcoming holiday weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh yeah, I forgot about How did I forget that?
It's almost Memorial Day weekend? That's right? Yeah, yeah, I'm
going to be out of town too for a couple
of days, going out to a wedding in Nashville. That
should be kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
That's gonna be awesome. You don't sound that excited about it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, it's because it's all coming back to me right now,
Like I forgot that I have to get on a
plane on like Friday afternoon. But no, I'm amped about it.
I love Nashville. I've only ever been there once, and
I'm just kind of going representing our family because we
can't we just can't all make it out there. So
I'm gonna go representing the Strife clan and have a
good time. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I always feel like Memorial Day weekend is such a
perfect time for people to get married. I mean, I
got married eleven years ago on May twenty fifth, so
I'll be celebrating that this weekend, So it's gonna be
a fun week head fun by.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'm so glad at Joanna that I did not just
say that that these guys, these folks are hijacking my
Memorial Day weekend for their wedding. Now that I remembered that,
your anniversary is on the twenty fifth.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Listen, mine fell eleven years ago, fell on a Sunday, right, Yeah,
I figured people weren't going to have work on Monday.
And at that time, all my husband's family lived in Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
All my family lived in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So it's like a good weekend to get everyone to

the thing. A lot of people coming to Vegas. And

around here. I love it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You're right about that, and we're gonna bring you all
the fun as well. And speaking of fun, you know,
we talked about weddings and anniversaries, what about birthdays? What
about unique birthdays? Because there's a story out there that
is so adorable about a one year old's first birthday party.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And the theme that the mom.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Decided to throw for her daughter's first birthday.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Certainly an unexpected one for a one year old. It
blew my mind when you showed me this, So let's
let's talk about this next. We'll reveal what that birthday
party theme was for a one year old. But let's
take some calls too on the the most unique birthday
party theme that you have seen or been a part
of seven oh two, seven nine six, one oh six five.
(03:09):
Will get into that after crowded House.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Good Morning, Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I'm Sonny one o six point five.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Birthday parties can sometimes go viral for very adorable reasons.
Good morning, It's Johanna and Sean right here on Sunny
one o six point five, and we want to know
what's the most unique themed child's birthday party you've ever attended?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Seven oh two seven nine six, one oh six five.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And we're talking about this because it's gone viral on
social media.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's very adorable.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But it looks like one mom has thrown her daughter
a Law and Order themed birthday. That, of course, yeah,
now is going viral because who throws a one year
old a Law and Order themed birthday?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Well well, well, first of all, let's start with the
fact that Law and Order is one of the greatest
TV shows that's ever been around, Right.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I've never seen that.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh it's oh come, it's so so good. But look,
they had all kinds of fun Law and Order themed
like decor and snacks. There was what fingerprint cookies. They
had ice tea because you know, the wrapper iced tea.
He stars in the show, right, so ice tea drinks.
What I like about the fact that this is like
(04:20):
a one year old's birthday is as a parent, when
your kids are that young, you kind of get to
make the choice, right. It's not like when they're older
and they're like, I want no Paw Patrol themed birthday.
You get to make that decision as a parent when
your kid is one, which I think is super fun.
Opens the door to a lot of interesting possibilities and no.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Absolutely and I think I do like to how the
reason this mom chose this is because it was like
her Binge watching show when she was pregnant with her daughter,
and so you know, she had a little bit of
sentimental attachment to it. And it looks like the mom
absolutely knocked it out of the park. For me, I
wouldn't say it was like a crazy unique theme, But
(05:01):
for my son Brock's first birthday, we did a magic
theme because his whole first year, I feel like we
always referred to him as our great Brock Deini. Yeah,
because he was just like such like a magical miracle
that came into our lives, and so we always called
him Brock Deini, and so we threw a magic themed
birthday and again that sentimental tie in.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
What were some of your first birthday themes?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I mean for I don't remember mine.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
You mean for you for your kids?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Oh oh okay, well look so for my son because
look he was also I've mentioned this many times. He
was born four months premature, and you know, we almost
lost him. And I don't know, man, this is going
to get really deep right now, I'm not trying to
do that. But our first birthday party for him was
(05:47):
Harry Potter themed, and it was from because the first
chapter of the first book is called The Boy who Lived,
so that was him. He was in our lives, he
was the Boy who Lived. So the whole birthday party was, like,
you know, Harry Potter theme, and that was the reason
we went in that direction. I wasn't trying to get
all emotional this morning.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I said, let little trips down memory and Lane can
sometimes do just that, but nonetheless adorable themes. And we
want to hear about other.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Adorable, unique birthday party themes this morning.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yes, let's go to May here. It's going on May
good morning. Tell us about a kid's birthday party theme
that you found particularly enjoyable.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Well, I had wasn't necessarily a theme. That was kind
of a thrown together as like with whatever they had around,
and it was a scavenger hunt party, but it ended
up being costumed with whatever oh the host found basically
and like made up these little costume bags and whatever
was in your bag you had to wear and then
run around and try and find figs and you're not
(06:45):
you're you're outside other people are seeing you in your
silly costumes. But because it was a whole horde of us,
it was a great time.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Ah at sometimes the best last minute stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Right Oh, that's kind of feels like a take on
like one of those like a Goodwill uh sure party
where you go into credit shot put together like the
silliest out but you can find in the thrift store.
Those are fun too, exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I love those.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Oh you have such a good time, you know where
you laugh to your stomach hurts one of.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Those, right, No, that's so good. Well, I mean shout
out to anyone who can think on their feet that quickly,
and like, you know, if you got to throw a
together a party really quickly, that sounds like sounds like
it came up.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Really well, it did, it really did.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Thank you May for the call.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Absolutely, you guys.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Have a great day, you do, Sonny.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Six point first birthdays can be so memorable for so
many reasons, especially when a unique.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Theme is tied to it.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Good morning, It's Joetta and Sean right here on Sunny
when I was six point five. And even though I
haven't seen this show ever, I do know that the
it's famous for the sound done done.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yes right, yes, I was. You know what I wanted to.
I wanted to mention that, but I was afraid you
wouldn't get it. So I should have pulled I should
have pulled the sound and used it. But oh well,
it's fine.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I know the sound. I just never seen the show.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, John Dunn, I wish I could. I'm not doing
it justice at all right now. But yes, one of
the greatest shows ever. And I think a great theme
for anyone's birthday, but for a first. A one year
old's party is great, complete with fingerprinted cookies and iced
tea drinks, just fantastically executed by this mom, so cute.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
So adorable.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Obviously a unique theme that's special to the mom. I
give a little backstory, a little bit ago. How the
mom's favorite TV show when she was pregnant with her
daughter was Law and Order. So that's why it's a
child's first birthday party theme. And that's what we're taking
calls on this morning. Unique birthday parties that you have attended.
Maybe it's had a cool theme, so.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
We want to hear from you, Chevin oh two seven
nine six, one oh six five.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Let's go to how about Joan this time? Hey, Joan,
good morning. Was there a kid's birthday party you went
to that was particularly memorable to you.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
I went to one party and it was just a
large yard and I had every kind of bounce house
for the kids. It was really really cute, but the
kids were so sweaty, and it was for an adult,
it was a little bit much, but it was really
a fun party. And their whole theme was bounce Bounce.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Okay, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
So I had like a bunch of different bounce houses
in the backyard.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Okay, right, it was really fun for the kids.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I was going to say in here, depending on the
time of the year, it could be very sweaty.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
It's very hot. That's the service of those bounce houses.
At some points here in Vegas it would get very hot.
So yeah, there's probably a lot of stress on the parents.
But the kids they don't mind, they don't.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Care, they don't care.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Get in that house and bounce, that's what they about,
and then go to the next one and bounce again,
and then.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Take a really good nap later.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Right, Like that's a good theme, you know, especially have
young ones that still nap.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You're like, yes, they're going to sleep, So.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Yeah, bounce.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I've been to parties with one bounce house, but not
more than one. This must have been a nice neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Well it's a big yard. Yeah, I had the money
to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Ate more power to them. Thank you so much, Joan.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Okay, thank you a good one.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
This is Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I'm Sonny one oh six point five.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You know, for years we have heard that people are
too addicted to their phones, but would appear that more
and more adults are becoming disenchanted with technology and actually
spending thousands of dollars to disconnect. It's Sunny Mornings with
Joanna and Sean on Sunny Window six point five, and
we're going to talk about digital detox. Vacations, Joanna, what
are your thoughts upon hearing those words?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh? I love it. I would fully support that for anybody.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I do probably think, you know, if you're going on
a vacation you have kids at home, that may be
a little bit hard to do because you want to
check it on your family. But if you can go
someplace and and really disconnect, meaning getting off social getting
off email, and fully letting go, I'm all about it.
And I'm glad that you brought it up because I
know you are going to be starting White Lotus season
(11:12):
three soon.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, it's it's such a good season And a big
focal point for a particular family in the show is
that they lock up their cell phones at like this
wellness retreat resort. So I think it is truly catching on,
like in real life.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, well we're seeing a lot of that, right So
Hilton just they released this report that says that twenty
seven percent of adults want to vacation with less time
on their phones and more time experiencing life. And can
I tell you how often I watch concerts on YouTube
from like the nineties, like Woodstock and stuff, and everyone says,
no one's on their phone. Everyone's living in the moment.
(11:50):
I long for those times, right, And you know, I
go to coffee shops now and there's signs on the
wall that say no Wi Fi, and there's no TVs.
They got board games out there. It seems like even
businesses are going out of their way to say, like, hey,
no Wi Fi. Why don't you talk to each other?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I've seen those sides, like signs on like the sidewalk
outside of like cafes and stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I think that's very I think that's very cute.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So again, I think that for people's overall well being,
I think it's important.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And I know that.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I don't know if this not calling you out in
any way, Sean, but I do remember at one point
in your email signature, like you told you you like
had something in there that said, like, Hey, if you're
receiving this email after hours, don't feel like you have
to respond back to me.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Do you still have that in your email?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I don't, And that's because, Okay, I don't want to
get into like into the weeds on this, but are
our company mandated that everyone's signature had to look the same,
so I was forced to take that out. But yes,
I was like, look, if you're replying to like just
because I sent you an email at night at night,
it's because that's when I had a chance to send it.
So don't feel like you are you know, you have
to respond, like respond to the time. That's good for you,
(12:59):
you know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
No, And I'm not calling you out in a negative way.
I'm calling you out and because I thought that was
really cool of you.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Ay, Like I think like, oh, the more, you know,
the more people are reminded that, like, hey, like listen,
like you know, like enjoy time with your family, like
be present after hours after work when you're at home,
Like I think that's so important, you know.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, and uh, you know what. One of the draws
of cell phones for years was like, oh, you can
do everything with it, right, Well, people don't want to
do everything with their phone anymore. I've noticed, right, like
people are intentionally getting dumb phones, you know, quote unquote
dumb phones that don't have all the tech so that
they can just use it for phone calls and not
get distracted by apps and things like that. When I'm
(13:38):
on vacation, I have an actual camera, believe it or not,
and I like to just turn my phone off and
use my camera to take pictures so I don't get distracted,
you know, unintentionally by notifications and stuff when I take
my phone out to take photos. So I love the
digital detox vacations. Please sign me one, sign me up
for one of these things today.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Absolutely, I'm all about it and we fully support it
here on Sunny Mornings.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Six point five Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean on
Sunny Window six point five, so twice every morning we
bring you our sunny story of the day. What we
hope is that it gives you some hope, maybe inspires
you in some way, shape or form. And I think
what Joanna's found here today really really fits that. Bill.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Absolutely, I'm glad you brought up hope. You know, we
often hear how you know, churches and nonprofit organizations spread
kindness in different ways and teach us to give back
to others. But it's also happening in very unlikely places
like a prison in Utah. And so we're going to
tell you about the community inside the Utah State Correctional
(14:47):
Facility that's getting a chance to learn more about kindness,
kindness to others, and of course kindness to themselves.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Now there's a group out there called.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The One Kind Act a Day, and they are bringing
lessons inside prisons to help inmates learn more about kindness.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Look, I think that if anyone needs the assistance, it's
those that are incarcerated, right like that, You're going to have.
One of my closest friends in life is a you know, rehabilitated.
He spent a couple of years in jail, right and
I would say that he is a rehabilitated person. But
(15:29):
the problem is that society is not kind to you,
nor is it easy. Sure when you are released, things
like getting just things as simple as jobs are really
hard to come by. Your very easily disregarded, and it's
a lot to deal with, you know, just the stigma
(15:50):
that comes with being recently incarcerated or being incarcerated. I
think you need more assistance to deal with that personally,
and to your point, show your self kindness and other
people kindness as well.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, And what I think is really cool about this
group is listen. It's not like a force mandated thing
for people in the prison system. Inmates can attend if
they are truly interested, and usually what's really cool is
that they get a very good crowd response, and you know,
everybody's coming from different upbringings in different situations, but many
of them are learning kindness for the very first time
(16:24):
in their life. And a lot of those you know
prisoners walk away and are saying because of this program,
they're so grateful that they had a chance to better themselves,
better understand people, better understand feelings, and realize that somebody
out there notices them and actually cares to help. So
I just think it is a very inspiring story that
(16:46):
provides people a lot of hope.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
And it's necessary. Without getting too deep, it's you know,
I think too much of our prison system on just
like a national scale, thrives on recidivism. So if you
can take care of yourself in a way that prevents
you from ending back up where you started, you know,
behind bars again, this is incredibly important. I'm just I'm
(17:10):
just glad that there's those kinds of resources out there
for these people.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah, and to know what's happening so close to us
in Utah, who knows it will maybe soon be happening
in prison systems here.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
In Nevada as well. So if you want to read more.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
About this incredible group, teaching kindness and very unlikely places.
You can right now at Sunnyweo six five dot com.
Just click on Sunny Mornings.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Wake up with Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I'm Sonny six point five.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Everything that was popular at some point always becomes popular again.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's Joanna and Sean right here on Sunny When I
was six point five, and you know, like things like
bell bottom jeans. Look at that we haven't worm for years,
But then Kendrick Lamar rocked him at the super Bowl
and those things are cool again.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Right, Absolutely, a lot of fashion. I mean fashion is
probably the best example of that, right It something that's
cyclical that comes back every like thirty or forty years.
Those things are cool again, yes.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And now I guess it's happening with vehicles as well. Now.
I think most of us who remember the good old days,
the easier days, the simpler time of the eighties and
early nineties. You know, you remember the types of vehicles
that your parents drove in, and a lot of them
very cool back then, that not so cool as you
got older. And I'm talking about this morning the minivan,
(18:27):
because it looks like mini vans are now being taken
to the next level. And maybe I'm passionate and defensive
about them because I own one myself.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Look, look I'm going to tell you right now, I
have been hankering for a minivan, like I'm living my
best dad life right now. So you mentioned like the
late eighties early not like the kind of the heyday
of minivans, I guess, or at least the first time around.
I grew up with a minivan. My parents had like
a white early nineties like Dodge Dodge already the caravan,
I think it was a Dodge Grand Caravan. We had
(18:58):
one of those. And now, as an adult with two
kids who like maybe has other neighbor kids they want
to haul around with them, I've been looking at getting
a minivan like they're super popular and these things have
like everything in them now, like they're super loaded with
all kinds of features.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, And it's so funny because my husband, like anybody,
if you can call, you can call my husband right now,
and he would be like the like, tell you his
whole pitch on why minivans are the best types of
vehicles out there, And he's like and he it's like
his favorite topic to talk to anybody about it, Someone's like, oh,
what minivan you rock in? Like, my husband will go
into like a full on the thesis about why it
(19:37):
is so awesome to own a minivan as an adult
with children.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
And I will tell you what. When he first wanted
this minivan a few years back, I was.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Like, Eh, we sure, we don't look at any other
type of ass you've and he's like, no, the minivan
is where it's at. And honestly, I've learned to love
the minivan myself. I think mini vans definitely help out families,
especially with kids or you know, if you have got
a bunch of pets in your household, Like they're so convenient.
And now it looks like certain minivans out there are
being taken to the next level. I mean, Mercedes Benz
(20:08):
is getting behind the minivan. I mean it's not just
you know, something that's looked at is not cool anymore.
They're becoming cool again.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, these things have really become like just family. I
don't want to necessarily say like a status symbol, but
like they're no longer looked down upon. They're like they're
loaded with all kinds of stuff. I mean, I've been
doing the research in like the Toyota Siena Chrysler. I
think your husband drives a Chrysler Pacifica, doesn't.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
He He drives a Chrysler pacific A hybrid.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
So a plug in minivan, and it's great.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I mean, I'm telling you, like I even enjoy driving
it myself these days, even though it's his main source
of transportation. Anytime I can hop behind the wheel of
the minivan, I'm loving life too.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I'm telling you, I'm on fully on board with getting
a minivan. We mentioned a second ago, how the another
vehicle that kind of was cool and then not cool
and then came back was the uh was it the
Volkswagen Beetle, right, yeah, oh yeah, I was just googling that.
Apparently they stopped manufacturing those in twenty nineteen. But you
(21:09):
know how things are cyclical. I'm telling you right now, Joanna,
Beetles are making a comeback in like the twenty forties
or fifties. They'll be back.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I hope so, because I feel like maybe in a couple,
like a couple of years, like that's a vehicle like
I could fully get behind to liked like sometimes these
big giant vehicles that intimidate me.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
But a beetle, a pink one preferably, I think I
could rock.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, you would have the flower headlights and everything exactly
