Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're waking up with FIfF in the morning time. Kiss one.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Ridiculous excuses that you've used for taking a day off, girl,
I support you, but I want to know what you've used,
because I don't think there's a section on my like
digital time card for something called summer bereavement.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
But that's what I took yesterday. How are you? I
hope you're off to a good start.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Talk back with Tiff and be one of the first
to do so during the show this morning. Microphone is
in the top right hand corner when you search kiss
on iHeartRadio. I just want to know that there's someone
else out there in this world and our tri state
world and our little Cincinnati bubble that feels the same
way I do about.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Summer being over.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
It seems as if no one around me is taking
it as serious as I am. I was just chatting
with Sarah Leaves and she says, well, it's gonna be
hot until you know October. I said, hot, have you
seen the ten day or it's barely s seventy degrees tomorrow?
Mother Nature did a quick drive by this year and

(01:05):
then hit the road. That woman is on a road
trip nowhere near Since no the weather really has been beautiful.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
But I have mentioned this before.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I am although living in the adult world, I still
operate in the child world, where we do things by seasons,
adults do things by quarters. I think there's we might
be in Q three right now, maybe we're entering into
Q four.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I don't know. It's back to school season for me.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
There's a type of nostalgia and also bittersweetness that comes
from it, and my brain operates from memorial data. Labor
Day is a summer mentality that means ice cream, cones,
tan lines, new adventures, late sunsets, new experiences, solo adventures,
summer romance.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I mean, like all of it.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
And I was having such a hard time letting go
of it that moments before I was supposed to come
into work yesterday, I called off sick. And you might
be wonder because my girlfriends asked me too. They're like, well,
what do you do with Tiff in the morning? And
we have a little bit of a contingency and backup plan,
you know, for days that I can't be around, we

(02:10):
do something called best ofs And I had not been
planning to do that. It was just a real last
minute thing. I thought to myself when I opened my eyes,
I'm not quite ready to face the world yet, coming
back after a labor day weekends, so I typed in
summer bereavement.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
That's when I dont I'm entitled to it. You know,
Did I tell the truth?

Speaker 3 (02:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:31):
I absolutely lied. I lied so hard and my friend
my friends knew.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
They're like, TIF, you're taking summer bereavement And really, I said,
I'm taking some you know, my ulcerative colitis is bothering me.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
That wasn't the case. I was just sad that I
didn't have ice cream the day before.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
All right, excuses that you've used for calling off of
work five win three seven four nine one seven one
or a talkback with Tiff on the iHeartRadio app, but
please let me know that there's someone else out here
and our little Cincinnati bubble that one feels the same
way about summer ending, and too.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
That you've used a ridiculous excuse to get out of work.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Good morning, Well that was a vibe you're waking up with.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Tip in the morning.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Kiss one oo seven one is always commercial free and
hopefully easy for you to participate. And it's been a
couple of days since you and I have connected. We're
talking about the excuses that you've used for calling off
of work, so it's not.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Like a ridiculous reason.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
But what my husband does is that if he ever
changed jobs, then he magically had all of his grandparents again,
so then he could just take a breathment if.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
He needed to. I love that, you know.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I love the fact that school is back, although bitter sweet,
that's why we're even talking about excuses that you've used.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I love it because I get so much more participation
in the show when you are back in your regular
school routine right around this time. It gets a little
quiet during the summer. Plus it also proves to my
bosses that people do listen to Tim in the morning.
Thank God for giving me a job and let me
keep it. No, if you're just walking into the conversation,
I was not here yesterday and I called off very
last minute.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Didn't tell anyone, didn't even tell Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I mean he was like texting me like, I'm very nervous,
I'm very concerned.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Where are you.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I called out seconds before work started because I was
just sad that summer was over and that Labor Day
weekend was over.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
And I couldn't quite face the world. Yet.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't necessarily think that that is an appropriate excuse.
I can't technically write summer bereavement in my time card,
can I?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
So it's good to know.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
That there are other Cincinnatians out there that are calling
off a work.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Let's check some more.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
So this is a while ago. I was working retail
and my friend was gone one day and the next
she closed bags. I'm, oh, where were you yesterday? She's like, okay,
So I was coming to work. I was like heading
out the door and I knocked the glass off my
counter and it shattered and like the water spelled everywhere.
So I had to clean it up. And I was like,
so you missed the whole day because of that. He's like, well,

(05:01):
by the time I finished cleaning up, I didn't want
to come in, and I'd already like calls up and
know something happened. So I just ended up saying it's
coming it all. I love Okay.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
I loved that story. Thank you for putting a smile
on my face. I appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
You know, a little summer bereavement, little water spill, good
morning chiffe from Hebron. I love your show, you might
get work getting up in the morning. Have a great
day to my gal. I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
You know you might be the very first person that
I remember leaving me at talkback from Hebron.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
So shout out to Hebron this morning. Thanks for listening. So, Hi,
good morning.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
You're waking up with tip in the morning on a
kiss one O seven one excuses that you've used for
calling off of work, I'm still in the hunt for
one as good as I used yesterday.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well, I don't know about work because I'm unemployed. Got it.
But when I was in school, I.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Uh, we used to go to school because I was
listening to my songs.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, you know what, who am I to judge? Right?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I had used something called summer bereavement yesterday because I
was so sad that.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Later again and that summer was over.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Thank you for the talk back with Taif the microphone
is in the top right hand corner, I had myself
of the iHeartRadio app. When you search us, you just
hold that down. You can leave me a voice note.
I'm a big voice note person with my friends, so
it makes sense that I have a version of that
for my radio show too. Ah I went on a
little solo adventure in Cincinnati to say goodbye to Summer yesterday.
If you and I are not connected on social I'm

(06:29):
gonna post it at the tiff to F's Potter like
the Wizard, so you too, maybe can get a little
taste of what it's like to send summer off here
and sensing all right.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Speaking of sending Summer.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
The Bengals posted a hype video in honor of the
season starting for them in.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Just a couple of days. Officially, I'll have that in
more than three things you need to know coming up
next
