Sometimes things happen that you just start crying over that
are just so silly, and we want to hear from
you this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's Joanna and Sean right here on Sunny.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
When I was six point five, I feel like we've
all experienced this, but I've been meaning to tell you
a story. Sean, a friend of mine, when I was pregnant,
got me like a little baggy of cotton candy flavored
kit cats.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Have you ever had those out? And I need to
box with them right now.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
They are life changing.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
They are so good and all I wanted when I
was pregnant were sweets like that.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
So once I.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Finished those cotton candy kit cats, I searched everywhere to
buy them. I looked at Amazon, Target, Walmart, could not
find them.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
So I asked my girlfriend Lucy.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
I'm like, where did you get these cotton candy kit cats?
And she's like, Costco. They're only sold at Costco?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
And I what? So I searched the internet.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's true, they're only sold at Costco. So I went
home and I told my husband.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I said, we.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Got to go to Costco, Babe, I need cotton candy
kit cats. And he's like, Joanna, I canceled the Costco membership.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
No, Sean, I bowled it. Blame it on the.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Hormones, the craving and whatnot, but it made me cry
so much.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
And I know it's so silly. My husband I we
laugh about it now, but that's the last time.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I think I bawled my eyes out over something kind
of silly.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
I honestly can't even blame you for that.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
I've like, oh my god, I have such a sweet
tooth regularly, like without the hormones, and I would have
cried over not having access to those cotton candy kit
kess sound epic for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
So good.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Let's take a call here, Aaron, what's that silly thing
that made you cry?

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Unexpectedly?

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Commercials?

Speaker 5 (01:26):
Yeah, they get me every time.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Hat commercials.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, the sad ones like the Sarah McLaughlin one. You're right,
oh man, those are still going to make me cry too.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
All right, let's hear from brook Brook. What is that
silly thing that makes you cry?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Watching the Thanksgiving Deep?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I cry?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Is it the what is it? The floats? What makes
you cry?

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
It's honestly, I'm I'm pretty embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
There's no reason to be I can relate to that one.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Broock. I like that one.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
And well, let's see, Jen, what about you. What's that
silly thing that makes you cry?

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Oh my gosh, any one of those videos where they're
bathing small animals like little goats or little possums or
little dogs. It's like any small animal being washed.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
I don't know why it's weird.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
But it's so cute when they're taking the bath.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
It is.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
It's too cute.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean on Sunny one six
point five, let's.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Talk about the five non negotiable days you should schedule
every month. Good morning, It's Juanna and Sean right here
on Sunny when it was six point five. And this
list is pretty powerful, Sean, so let's run through it.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Okay, I'm not good at scheduling, so I'll do it
that I can.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I think it's gonna help everybody. This is great, Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Number one, get your Ish together Day. It's a boring
on sexy day, but it's the kind of maintenance that
keeps life from spiraling out of control.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
I need his every day. But that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's a great one.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Number two, Unplugged Day, put your phone down, turn off notifications,
log out of social media. The world is not going
to fall apart when you're offline, but your mental health
might improve.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Love that.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
That's a good one. This one.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I feel like so easy for being here in Las Vegas.
Be a tourist day.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yes, yeah, I'm still I've only been here for maybe
two years, and I'm still living like a tourist many days.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's a good, good vibe to keep going.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
The goal see the world around you with fresh eyes. Now,
we're really lucky being here in Vegas, all right.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Number four reconnection Day.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Now, no agenda, no hidden motive, just real connection with
real people.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
This doesn't have to be with a significant other.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Could be like with your parents or an old friend,
or grab coffee with a mentor however you want to
do it.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
But reconnect with somebody important in your life.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
It's one of the few things I'm actually good at
is calling people that I care about, like on my
drive home.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah like that. Love that.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Keep it up at number five The mini adventure Day. Now,
you don't need an airplane ticket to have an adventure.
The goals to break your routine, you know, make your
days more story worthy create.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Those memories that could be as easy as a driving
the thirteen mile scenic loop there out of Red Rock Canyon.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, and these things sound simple, right, So it's just like,
why don't we just do it?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
We just need to start.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Doing them five days every month. Easy.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Pis Yep, sunny one. It was six point five. It's
Joanna and Sean. Now we are the official Christmas Station
of Las Vegas, and as such we're super excited about this.
For over fifty years, the official US capital Christmas tree
has come from a different state in our beloved Union,

(04:36):
but for the first time ever, it is coming from Nevada.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Joanna, Yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Pretty impressive stuff. What I heard it was up close
by Reno right.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yes, so it's coming from the Humboldt Toyabe Forest. I'm
not sure if I'm pronouncing that correctly, but it is
a fifty three foot tall red fur and it is
named Silver Bell.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh, Silver Bell from the Silver State.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yes, perfect, great name. But it is going to be
here in town today. So it's like a big sendoff
party that we're doing here in Vegas to basically wish
Silver Bell well as she makes the trek from Nevada
all the way to the US Capitol.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, that's kind of adorable.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
I know, right, little sendoff party for a Christmas tree.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
I think that's very cute. And listen, you know Christmas trees.
I have a hard time transporting my Christmas tree from
my roof of my car into my house without losing
all the needles. I can't imagine the task that Silver
Bell is going to have to, you know, take on
to get to the Capitol and in fine shape. Right.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
I have so many questions myself, right, like are they
wrapping the bottom of this thing in the giant paper
towel to keep it moist?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Like I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
I have questions, right, But the point here is that
you can go celebrate silver Bell today from two to four,
free and open to the public downtown at the Las
Vegas Civic Center and Carolyn G.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Goodman Plaza.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
They do recommend a course to where your your best
holiday attire as well.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Oh, break out the ugly Christmas sweaters now love that.
This is Sunny Mornings with Joanna and Sean on Sunny
one oh six point five. Today's Sunny Story of the
Day is a story about courage, love, and a little
boy who became a real life hero. Nine year old
Stephen Modek from Torrens, California, may have saved his father's
life by becoming one of the youngest stem cell donors

(06:26):
in the world. Now, Stephen's dad, Nick, was battling a
fierce return of leukemia. Now when no match could be
found in the National Registry, doctors at the area hospital
discovered that Stephen, though just seventy pounds, could be a
half match and sometimes that's exactly what is needed. Now.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
When Nick asked if he wanted to help, Stephen didn't hesitate.
He simply said, when do we go. After a six.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Hour procedure under anesthesia, doctors collected six million of Stephen's
stem cells to help rebuild his dad's immune system. Today,
Nick is home and recovering, even making it back in
time to catch the final.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Inning of Steven's little league game.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Now, Nick says he donated six million stem cells to
save my life.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's not just an honor to call him my son.
I'm proud to call him my hero too.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Now that's your sunny story of the day.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Proof that love really does have the power to heal,
and if you want To read more about this incredible story,

six y five dot com and click on Sunny Mornings. Now,
let's celebrate Stacy's little victory today.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
But in her case, it's not so small.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
My victory, it's not so little. It's like huge. I
traded in my old jeep and got.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
Five thousand dollars over what the trading value were.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Five thousand.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
That guy can't be evaluating any more vehicles for this
first day.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
On the job.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
They wanted it so bad.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
I was able to just like completely stand my grind,
and they.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
Went for it.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
I could not leave it.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, there you go, Stacy.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
You're writing everybody that when you scand your ground, you
may end up getting a good amount of money out
of it.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Go Stacy, Sonny.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
One or six point Sunny one. It was six point five.
It's Joanna and Sean.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Now, when you think of Thanksgiving desserts to Winny, you
probably think what pumpkin pie, cheesecake, apple pie?

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Right?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Maybe friends silk thrown in there every now and then.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
What about Oreos?

Speaker 4 (08:26):
The people at Oreos would certainly hope that you think
about them. They're putting together a Thanksgiving cookie tin with
six different Thanksgiving dessert themed flavors, and Joanna absolutely gagged
when I told her what a couple of these things were.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, this is not needed, in my opinion, unless you're
gonna unless you're taking the spin on like Oreo with
a pumpkin pie flavored center.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's the only way I can get behind that.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
So that is one of them.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
I'll tell you the people at Oreo's, they're just psycho
because they do this stuff all the time. Right, But
here are the six flavors and a Thanksgiving Oreo tin.
They're gonna have pumpkin pie, fine, caramel, apple pie, fine,
cranberry sauce. It's mess debatable. That could go. That could
be good. Has potential. Sweet potato flavored Oreos again debatable.

(09:12):
I don't know if it's I don't know if it's
a sweet enough flavor to get away with being an
Oreo filled flavor. How about a turkey and stuffing fillings.
That's pretty terrible, right, Turkey and stuffing flavored Oreos. We
can leave those off the shelf. And then this one
I think might have gotten the most primal response from
Joanna the creamed corn Oreos.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
That's horrendous.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Why we don't need this?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Why Oreos?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Why?

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Well, You're not the only one to react that way.
People over the internet are definitely reacting with a mix of.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Intrigue, horror, or both.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
One person said, it's the most unique way to say
taste of Thanksgiving without having to turn on the stove.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Aaraboid everything about this again not needed, No thank you, Oreos.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I only want your cream center.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
And that's it.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
You may be on the fence about the Oreos, You're
probably not on the fence about Disneyland tickets. Your chance
to win coming up at seven point forty with the
name drop. Make sure we have your name at Sunny
window six five dot com wake up.

Stuff You Should Know
Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
