Speaker 1 (00:02):
In the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's The Morning mixed with Matt Harrison, Liz Ludaty Hedy,
Good Morning, Luda, Hello, and tjod Morning.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
We're gonna be low nineties today, one more day of that,
and then ninety nine this weekend.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
Just before warned we're.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Supposed to get into the hundreds next week. We were
like trying to plan our lives out because my kid
summer vacations only like two weeks left, so we're trying
to figure out like the last few things we want
to squeeze in, and we were like, I don't know, buddy,
we might just be staying indoors.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
I don't know what we're going.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
To do, because that says one hundred and one.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah. I ran like every day this week because I
know I'm not going to run now it's under because
I'm just like trying to get it out of the way.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Why I'm not going to be running, It's just because
of the heat, you know, exactly.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, but yeah, it's supposed to get boiling hot again,
so you know, I've even been by the neighborhood pool
or whatever went in, but just went by there's.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Nobody there, like to have to swim. The water's probably
too warm to be refreshing. That's the thing about the lakes.
The lakes bothered me when they get into the nineties.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yes, you know what I mean, everything that's floating in there,
and you're just like, ooh, this is soupy.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah, I mean, I'm okay to go on it.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Maybe jumping, but it's something is yeah, right, the warm
water is not good. Right, And I'm assuming both lakes
are in the nineties right now they're but Norman and Wiley,
I'm sure, right.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I can't tell you because I live by or I
pass like a boat access on my way home every day.
It's been very crowded.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Well, you know, once you get out there, it's cool
because at least you're moving, so you get paprize or
whatever and you can go somewhere. But the idea of
floating around in there, I don't know what it is
about it. When it's you know what I mean, though,
makes sense?

Speaker 5 (01:48):
Yeah, yeah, you said it lives soupy soupy, Like that's gross.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I know plenty of people who it's always strikes me
as odd, who just won't go into a lake.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I don't go to lake. Yeah, yeah, not anymore when
I was young. When I was young, I used to
be all like, oh, yeah, i'll go swimming in a lake.
I'll go not wakeboarding, but was it like tubing and stuff?
Would they drag it behind the boat? And I thought
nothing of it. But now that I'm older, I'm like, oh,
what is that?

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, I mean I'm okay with going in there. Did
you see there was a brand eating amba?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, where I forget where it was somewhere near I
think it was it Lake Murray.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Something I think, Yeah, I want to sin. I think
it's the same lake that got struck by lightning just
a few weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Is that weird that they get struck by lightning? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
And these people were like swimming in.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
The water, because I would think that lakes gets struck
by lightning all the time.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
No, I have no idea. It's the first time I
ever heard of it. And I got this news from TikTok,
So please fact check me right now. I'm living one
hundred percent now, I haven't done a deep dive research
on this, but yeah, I think it's the same one.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, Lake Murray. Yeah, I mean they're very rare. Still,
what a sucky thing. I mean, but uh, you got
so you think do you think I would assume I
think it's lightning hits Yeah, the tree is probably bigger
than the lake, but the water that's that's far.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I would think that, right, it's gonna get to a
high point. I would think it's got How about ocean,
It's got hit oceans a lot, right, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
just because there's so much space. Yeah, look at the
last little misser. Science people people are out there right now,
you dumbasses. Does lighting hits lakes? Here we go, Yes,
lightning can hit the lakes. When lightning strikes a lake

(03:33):
travels on the surface. Okay, so it happens. I can't
give you how much it would have.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
When he killed the fish, somebody asked, I'm pretty sure
it's I gotta kill the fish.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I think we had to google pretty sure prepared. Right,
let's just stop down and google this. Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, you're learning on the fly like we all are.
Because I didn't think when you said it, I'm like, I.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Never heard of it. I never encountered somebody that had
happened to you. Yeah, and then I saw TikTok store.
Because it's not that far away people that were in
the lake when it happened get hurt from the I
don't know the person that told the story. I think
she was.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Okay, let's say everybody's okay, make it a good story.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
Let's hope.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah. Yeah, oh rah.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Juli twenty fourth in the Morning makes Birthday's powered by
Mark Spain real Estates.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
And today we're starting off with Bendy Irwin, who is
twenty seven years old. I know, right, yeah, because she
always seems like she's forever like a little girl on
the show. But so happy birthday to her. And then
Mara Wilson is thirty eight, who also always seems forever
like a little girl. She was in Missus Doubtfire. She
was Matilda.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Oh okay, I didn't know who she was.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, And I have been trying to get my kid
to watch Matilda recently. I don't won't do it. It's
been a little bit of a battle because he's like,
it's not a car toon right, Oh yeah, And I'm like,
come on, buddy, just try it. But so I picked
apart from Matilda. Oh yes, I love to read.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
What do you love to read?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Everything?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
A good believing Girl's Chickens Child's Chickens. I love that
books every day. I love that book so much when
I was a kid, I've loved it.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yes, was the name of the teacher.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Miss Honey Honey, Ms Honey, and then there was missus
Trench Bull, which yah. Yeah. We have the same build, athletic.
We also look the same when we wear our hair
and a butN So anyways, Elizabeth right, I know. Elizabeth
Moss is forty three, been in tons of stuff, but
most notably The Handmaid's Tale. Recently, Anna Paquin is forty three.

(05:37):
She was Rogue in the X Men movies, Uh, Sookie
and True Blood. She was also a child actress. It's
like birthdays of the child actors.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Today and actors that turned out okay.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, thank goodness. Mara Wilson speaks out very publicly about
it though, what it was like being a child actor. So,
Jennifer Lopez is fifty six, and I might be being shady,
but I pulled I put her from her documentary that
she did about the movie that she made on Prime
last year.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
I like taking my hair out like this.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
It reminds me like when I was sixteen in the rack,
running up and down the block.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
What the girl? What block? Jlo?

Speaker 4 (06:18):
What block?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
That was like so reshared, and she started doing season
desists for people on TikTok saying that they didn't have
the right to share that because it was copyrighted content.
Because she was getting roasted so badly.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Right, she went to some school somewhere or else.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, But then like the whole setup is, she's just
like trying to be relatable and she's doing it and
she's taking out her hair extensions, and it was just
like a moment of like, Jlo, are you doing?

Speaker 4 (06:44):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
And then Kristin Channa with this fifty seven she is
the original Glinda from Broadway. She did make an appearance
and the Wicked that came out last year and honor
that we just want to be popular. I'll help you
be popular with our right, you'll be good at sports?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Know this line you?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
So let's start because you've got an off long way.
I love it so much because I listened to this
soundtrack like when I was younger, because it came out,
I want to say, when I was in high school.
I don't know, we just listen to it in the car.
And then today's national holiday is it's National drive through Day,
which also you know, is a very important day.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
I celebrate as often as possible.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
My brother refuses drive throughs.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Really, it's not like he never goes through, but he
if he he will go in.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
If I don't have to get out, No, no line,
not that it doesn't matter. He will choose go in.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
Oh no, I will wait your long whine and the
drive through.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Typically, when there is a drive through happening, there's already
bad decisions. I don't need to drive Cardio to it,
like I already know what I'm there doing.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, I will tell you. Also the kiosk where you
would are in a kiosk, I mess it up every time.
Oh yeah, I mess it.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Up every time.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
It's rough world. Yeah, it's a tough, tough world. Problems.
All right, So you I guys, I y all you
got for me?

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean I can go. It's also National Tequila Day.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
Oh all right, I don't don't combine the two drive
through in Tequila Day.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Okay, you could go through the drive through, get your
food and then go home.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh there you go, all right. Yeah, you could be
the drink of the tequila and your ruber driver takes
you through.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay, it's still an open container, sir, isn't it No
Why you drank your tequila you're in the back.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
So I was like, I.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Believe that is still not allowed.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Look that you're just trying to get me arrested here.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
I just yeah, you know, you get stitches here this
morning mixed Matt Harris, LIZJ.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
State smell not. A person was interested in buying a home.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
So it went to the property, look around a little
bit on Newton Drive. Thinks it's abandoned, goes to the
back of the residence. Human remains. Oh no, that's got
to put the price down a little. A little recall
was placed in nine one one before he's arrived. They
determined that the esther remains were human. They couldn't identify
until a few days later. They didn't defy, but it

(09:08):
was a natural causes, uh, And it took, you know,
a couple of days to identify who it was. He
had been living at the residents, they think, but uh,
that is a little bit traumatics.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yeah, do you automatically not buy it?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh gosh, no, I'm done.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
You're done. I walk away. I'm negotiating.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
That's what I was gonna say, really, I'm not definitely
writing it off.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
I mean, I get that it was natural causes, but
I think i'd still be freaked out. I saw and
I think looking he said it was like in the backyard,
that's all I would think about, Like a I can't
put a garden there, I can't put a swing set there,
I can't do anything like that, And I think that
would mess with me.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
My buddy moved into a place where the actual chalk
outline was there from a person who o, he just
moved in, kept it there, stepped over it.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Wow, that weird. I would that kitchen. It was a
nice place he was in his kitchen. Yeah, what Yes, that's.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Not a selling point for me anything.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I'm like, that's a small, little tiny house on the lake,
and he's like you.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
I also don't want to be disrespectful because I understand Statesville.
I mean we're in Statesville, right, but I feel like
that's how you get a ghost. I'm just gonna go
ahead and say that.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
I mean, you don't have a ghost with the chalk outline.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Guy, Yeah, I'm more curious why they didn't clean up
the chalk yeah before they rented it. Yeah, that seems
like a pretty simple clean up.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
I think they weren't planning on running it. Oh okay,
and he knew somebody knew.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Somebody and like anybody in the house right now, you
want to move in?

Speaker 5 (10:36):
All right? Oh okay, all right.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
So that was how it how it went down. Yeah,
there you go. And then there's this Wow, that's bizarre alright.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
An influence and an influencer in South Africa posted a
video for herself swimming through some beautiful foam in the water.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Oh no, you know that foam.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Here is Michelle sky Hayward talking about swimming through that
pot fingers foam.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I'm having so much fun. I literally don't even smell
the coal that is salty.

Speaker 7 (11:07):
First of all, no, I'm not an American tourist that
randomly went in the ocean and kept town. I'm from
South Africa, as you can hear. Secondly, no, I did
not get sick anything. Maybe it even boosted my immune
system because I've been feeling great accence.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
So who knows.

Speaker 7 (11:22):
And something everyone's been asking me is didn't the smell
give it away?

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Well?

Speaker 7 (11:28):
No, I didn't actually smell anything when I went into
the sea.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Just smelled like the normal ocean smells. There you go white.
Well you went viral.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I mean, well, yeah, I don't think that naturally boosts
your immune system. I worry, but you know it. The
whales are in the ocean and they're right.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
You know, my growing up weird sewage tissues and there
was a little creek, not even a creek, hey, like
when it would rain, raining of water like a drain,
and it was we played in sewage, ran through sewage.
We saw Yeah, did you guys know you got a

(12:08):
run off?

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Maybe but not yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yeah, Eventually they fixed it.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
I think Morning Mixed Matt Harris, the quirky Liz Luda
spends forty eight hours a day on social media so
you don't have to find things.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
And there is a drink in an American pastime that
is just tearing the UK apart, and that is lemonade.
So if you go to England and you order a lemonade,
you get what we would consider a sprite. It's a
carbonated beverage and it's it's like sprite seven up one
of those, right. So there is somebody that has opened
up a lemonade stand in England called Rebel Lemonade and

(12:43):
they are British and they are making fair style lemonade.
So like you know when we go to like the
county fair, the state fair, or if you go anywhere
where they have the things set up where they press
the lemons and then they put it in the It
looks like a soup container to me, and then they
just add the sugar, the ice and then they shake
it up and they put the straw on it.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
Just like the giant Cirofoam cup.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
The giant star from cup or that plastically. Yeah, yeah,
you know exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah, and so
people are apholed by this, and there's all these videos
going around on TikTok and they finally made their way
to America because the comments are gold.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
I'm going to read some of my favorites. Do you
not drink the seeds from the lemon? They're very confused, right, Yeah,
this is too gimmicky.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Gimmicky.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
That is so much sugar, which it's just because you're
seeing it go into the drink. I'm pretty sure the
one that's pre made that's a sprite or like a
seven up variety, right, also has the sugar in it.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Right, Andrew in the UK, you really don't have to
worry about it rotting whatever teeth you have left.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Well, even their sweets though, like their chocolate has a
lot more sugar in it, so I think they're just
not used to seeing the scoop go in and shake
it out. Uh, why is it so watery and not fizzy?

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Why do you use so much lemon? And then my
favorite comment is that's just sweet lemon water.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yes, that's exactly what.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
And they're talking about how unhygienic it is and why
wouldn't you just make it ahead of time and serve
it that I know I have been to the fair before.
And if they pull a picture out and they try
to charge me five dollars for that lemonade out of
a picture, I am met. I want to see the
work go into it. I want to see the lemon squeeze,
like that is a beautiful and an amazing thing.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
That job.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Though some of them, they have the ones that you
just push a button and that I'm fine with. I
just want to see the lemon pulverized and then they
put the whole lemon in there, and a lot of
the comments are like, isn't that unhygienic? Okay, it's delicious,
and I'm so worried we're going to choke on the
lemon seed.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's like, so they must not put lemon in their
water or but uh, you know, I've probably never had
in my entire life a class of lemonade. Really wow,
probably never. I mean, I you know, paid a sip
of lemonade, or someone gave me a sip or one
of my kids leftover stuff.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
But no, you just don't like it. It's not I mean,
it's not like I hate it or anything. It's just
not my eyes.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
What you're gonna choose.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I've never ordered lemonade in my entire life. I know that.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Okay, one it's my favorite because there's something about when
you've ben sweating a bunch at the fair because I
used to have to work the fair for like a job. Yeah,
nothing quenches it more than just that pure sugar. And
sometimes the sugar gets caught on the ice and it
almost makes this little powder explosion. It's so amazing. And
then I'd also like to say in my knockoff Stanley
this morning, I have two muddled lemons in there with

(15:46):
water and ice. It's just short of some sugar.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
To be a lemonade lovely? What were you? What was
your fair job?

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Oh? I was a radio station. I was handing out balloons.
They would make me do eight hour shifts for ten
days in a row out and blowing up with a
helium tank balloons.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Good, good start.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
I sweated so much like I had the sweat going
down the back of my legs into my shoes.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
It was beruto, A couple of whipings.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Why is it so dusty? Why is it always so
dusty and.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Fair in the morning.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's the Morning mixed with Matt Harrison Liz Luda.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Coming up in just about three minutes or so you
can hear all about how the Ashville gass up and
go getaway is going on. Go to Mix one oh
seven nine for details Mix one seven nine dot com
for details.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
It's spot coming up in a second.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
So I randomly talked about meal time the other day,
and now study just came out about this about how
difficult it is now because of kids, especially if they're
involved in activities and that sort of thing. But sixty
one percent of parents with young kids say meal times
are one of the only times they're able to fully engage.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
With their children. Without distraction. Oh uh.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
And even if they are able to get everyone together,
hy one percent say there's as much talking as they'd
like because one word answers drums whatever. Of course, but
there are the hurdles that get in the way of
the family meal time, cleaning up afterward, dealing with picky
heating and complaints, getting kids to sit still, different schedules
and routines, trying to cook while managing chaos, keeping screens away.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Yeah, but terrible.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Yeah, so grown up.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
We always ate dinner together at the table every single
night until my sister went to college, and then we
never ate at the table again. They were like, we
got the successful one out of the house. This other
one she can fend for herself and watch Dancing with
the Stars while she she grazes on something. But I
thought that that was going to be such a huge
thing in my life, and so once I had my kid,

(17:45):
we had a table that only fit two people. We
had like a tinier table, and my husband used to
work nights, so it was just me and my son THEO,
and I was like, this is great. But then when
my husband stopped working nights, we didn't all fit there,
and then it was like we got out of the
habit of eating at the table, and so about a
year ago we got our very first ever like big
kitchen table, and we were like, we're gonna eat all

(18:06):
the meals at it. And you know what, sure haven't
eight has been a gathering place for things.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Yeah, right right on TV trace if we're lucky.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, kind of kind of like it's it's this is
why my kids getting cereal out of a cup instead
of a bowl because he's less likely to spill it
as hes on the couch. Like I'm a terrible example,
and I feel so badly about it because I remember
we would have like we would have dinner, and now
it's just kind of like, what have we gotten here?
We're gonna throw this together.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
When I was a kid, yeah, like sometimes dad wouldn't
be home or whatever, but we always set the table.
My kids have never set the table unless it's like Thanksgiving, Christmas.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Otherwise it's you know, you grab your it's almost cut
back cafeteria's eyes, yeah, or like.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
We still have the pot on the stone and you
just go and stoopid from there gets your plate. Yeah,
Like I.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Then you uh yeah, at the most you're like Hey,
could you grab me a fork way over there?

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah? Right?

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Oh is that a real for crab? A plastic one?
Mommy doesn't want to do dishes, you know what I mean, Like,
I feel terrible.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
It's kind of sad because I mean, it is kind
of a it can be.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
An important time, depending everybody else's schedule to chat about things.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Right on TV, they're always do a great job of it.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, I'm lucky in the sense that my kid, he's
only eight now, but he's he's chatty like I am,
so like, he's still talking NonStop to me. So I
think we're okay. We're getting in other places, but I
should probably push for meals said usually said.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
At the we've had bars, like at the kitchen. Oh
yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
But the kids are doing different. My one, you know,
is major right now, missle Phonia. I can't really hear
people's lipsmacking, so to go their own way. Hey, we're
all surviving.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah different, yeah, absolutely, yeah, Yeah, let's just do that.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Let's have your hard on ourselves because it's just thriving. Thriving,
that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
I mean, it's just it's it's it's I think though
that how back. But yeah, we set the table, we
cleared the table. We no dishwashers, so we'd wash the dishes.
I can't get I can barely get my kid to
slide the dish over to the sink to pick it
out to slide.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah. Yeah, you know what, we might have lost the
art of eating at the dinner table. But there's a
lot of other really terrible things we gave up to.
So you make.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
We're we're not smoking while we're eating, right, thanks for
starting your day with The Morning, Miss.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
It's The Morning mixed with Matt.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Harris and here's your latest pop up date.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Jelly Roll has it talent and it's that he can act.
So we've seen him pop up. Well he's sound like
a few cameo things, but he usually plays himself or
it's just like a couple of words yellowstone, Yeah, and
then he just kind of disappears or whatever. But he
was hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live last week and he had
Kevin James on the show, and if you remember, he
had Kevin James get on stage and perform with him,

(20:58):
and people didn't realize that Kevin James was Jelly Roll
until Jelly Roll stepped out on stage and you were like,
wait a second, what is happening here? And so word
on the street is that they're actually making a movie
together about country music. And Kevin was like talking about
you know, Jelly's acting chops and how good he is,
and he said, this guy is an amazing actor. He

(21:20):
can do anything. God gave it all to you. You
wanted to get an acting coach, I said, you don't
need one, man, You're phenomenal. I know, I mean, you
know what, we know him as one of the most
revered actors of our time. You know, Kevin can wait, Yeah,

(21:42):
I know, he said so much stuff.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
I was just doing for sure. Yeah, what was gonna say?

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Well, Jelly roll for all we know, maybe he'll he'll
be an Oscar winner next.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
You know, Ozzy Osbourne is you know past uh. He
had a really cool take on how he wanted his
funeral to go down. He said his family could do
whatever they want as long as it makes them happy.
Love that funerals are for the living. He said, quote,
I honestly don't care what they play at my funeral.
They can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle,
we are the Diddiman, which is some silly song in England.

(22:15):
Whatever makes them happy, perfect, he said in other view
news use he's funeral.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
He'd like to be a celebration, not a mope fest.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
The only thing he would like is the Beatles song
A Day in the Life to be played. And he
said maybe it'd be fun to be funny if I
had a I was asking a doctor.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
I gotta get a second opinion. Am I dead now?

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Drake chimed in, he was in Birmingham last night and
stopped by this bridge where they're putting stuff for Ozzie
and poured one out for Ozzie. And you know, it
is amazing that he went from being thought of as
either the devil or the devil adjacent right to becoming
the reality show kind of dad, yeah, da guy, and

(22:59):
then on the Muppets and everything else and Jakes and
what a way to go though that last concert.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
Oh I know, though, what was it two and a
half weeks before he passed? Like that's wild, insane.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
And in case you're wondering about that, things happened in threes,
which I know it's always bull crap, But New York
Times did a piece in twenty fourteen, and according to
their research, since nineteen ninety, there's been seven people that
died within a five Expand the.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Whole thing is how do you I die? I picked
the three?

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Is it had to right a level B level that
you know that's yeah, like a celebritary.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Right, nineteen fifty nine there was a plane crash that
killed Buddy Holly, Bitchievallens and the Big Bopper, So that
was three right out of shot. But so you had
Ozzie Malcolm, Jamal Warner THEO and then they put Connie
Francis on there.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yeah, there was five days in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, Michael Jackson, Farah Fauston, Ed McMahon within two days,
David Bowie, Glenn Fry, Alan Rickman within a week in
January twenty sixteen, Yeah, James Brown, Gerald Ford, Saddam Asin
in five days in December of six Philip Seymour Hoffman,
Shirley Temple and Sid Caesar within ten days.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
So it's not really a thing.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Because how many days with it right, what level of star,
because there's always gonna be somebody that was in a
show or something. Yeah, So it's it's it's it's silly,
but our brains are, you know, wired to see patterns,
and we won a third because we love a completion,
right right, I don't.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Want a third, you can, Beth.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
So it's already Oh okay, con Frances they threw in there. Whoever, now,
let's just start the new one. Or they might say, like,
why can't I be put with Ozzie and theo Yeah? Right, yeah,
what do you have?

Speaker 1 (24:43):
So P Davidson was on Fallon and he was talking
about how he was introduced to Eddie Murphy, like as
a comedian person and a concept because they have a
movie coming out called The pick Up on August sixth
on Prime and this is how he found out who
Eddie Murphy is.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
How did you first hear of Eddie Murphy?

Speaker 3 (24:59):
I mean, uch younger than I am, so I obviously
found out first from Donkey because you know, it was
like two thousand and one.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
I was seven, and so he saw Shrek and he
was like, I love this guy. And so his mom
took him to a CD store and there was a
DVD of Delirious, which is a stand up special, and
they put it in his little DVD player in the
car to watch on the way home and his mom
just started hearing language and was like, whoa, we got
to take this out, and he was like, this is amazing.

(25:28):
Because he was sad. His mom was like, all right,
well you can watch it, but please just don't tell anyone.
I'm gonna let you watch it. He said that he
absolutely fell in love with him, and then when they
were working on this film together, it took all he
had to like not tell Eddie Murphy how much he
loved him, and then he said on the last day,
he was like, I love you so much. You're such
an icon to.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Me watching you.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah. Ironically, we talked about butt smacks just not too
long ago because we wondered if the sports butt smack
was out, and it happened to me.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yesterday, so this had an unexpected ending. So yesterday I
go to the Steak and Shake and they don't have
servers anymore. Is the first time I've been a really
long time and you go up front and you order
from a kiosk, And it takes all of my attention
span to order from a kiosk because I mess it
up every single time. Right, So here I am. Because

(26:20):
my son is very specific about the type of milkshake.
He wants to sub in for the drink, and I'm
trying to get his order correct on the kiosk and
my buckets slapped and my husband is standing next to me,
and I look at him and I said stop that
we're in public, and he looks at me and he goes,
what are you talking about? And I am not a
PDA person. That's not something i'm a fan of. But

(26:43):
my husband, if he could, it would be PDA NonStop,
and that is not something I am comfortable with. Don't
you start hooning and hollering in the background. I think
that such a enough story to get through. So as
I'm going through the kiosk and I'm still trying to order,
my buck gets slapped again and I turned and I

(27:04):
look at my husband and I'm getting irritated now, and
I was like, I told you to stop. I am
trying to focus, which makes me like the most unlikable
wife in the world. Like I get that, right, And
so he's like, what are you talking about? And I
think he's messing with me. So I'm getting extra irritated
and I'm like whatever, And so I go back to
try to order the kiosk and it happens again, and
I'm like prepared, so I immediately turn around to catch

(27:26):
him in the act, and my husband's just standing there
and his hands are nowhere near me, and I'm like,
who the heck just did this? And there was a
child who was probably like two and a half maybe three.
He could walk, he could slap. I don't think he
was talking very well and was just laughing, and apparently
he just kept running past me and smacking me on

(27:46):
the bottom every time I didn't pay attention. So I turned.
I look at his mom and she's got like three kids,
and I was like, you know what you're in over
your head? This is I'm just gonna I'm not even
gonna point this out. But so there was a stranger
and I feel so bad. I was getting so mad
at my husband. And then my husband he saw it
the third time. He's like, what the heck was that?
And I was like, I don't know. I thought it
was you his entire time, like what, I've never had

(28:11):
that happen before, and I.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Was like, I don't think most people have right where
just that it was a bizarre thing.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
There's no calling anybody out.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Oh no, it's a kid. Kids are gonna be kids. Like,
I'm not whatever.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
The mom's busy.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
You could tell she was overwhelmed. I'm not gonna be
that parent that's like, excuse me, Ma'am's your child.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Just smacked my maybe handle your yeah, like I would never.
I would never. You should walked over and smacked it,
and you tell your kid go smack that mom.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
I was like, what the heck?

Speaker 1 (28:41):
And then the kid I was just it was it
was a deal because he like followed me to the table,
and I.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Was like, ma'am, your kids your Maybe he couldn't maybe
thought you were the mom.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
He's got face blindness.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
I don't know he's around. He just like maybe, yeah,
he's got confused wrapped around.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
But I was like, I you're not my child, Please
go back to the adults you belong to.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
You're at the steak and shake. He's like, I'm a
little more shake, bab.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
In the steak and shake yesterday with kids, and your
kid happens to slap your boody. Just know he's also
doing it to others in public. Yeah, that wants a
little more shake with those fries. Don't make you weird anyway.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Morning mixed Matt Harris, Liz Luda, producer TJ social Media
was asked about you hear a certain word, a buzzword,
and it sets off your alarm, your BS Alarm'm like,
all right, this guyer galla is full of who who?
And there was a list and the one that jumped
out when you said it with one I'd highlighted too,
was artisanal.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
Oh yeah, that's a big one. That is one that
makes me like artisanal subway sandwiches, I think.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, in general, with a sandwich, what what exactly defines
it as artisanal?

Speaker 4 (29:53):
Does you have to be a sandwich anything? Artistal? I'm like,
you're being too fancy here. Yeah, I don't know. I don't,
I don't. The word makes me insane. The one to
jump to you was influencer.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
I get driven crazy by that where it's like be
an influencer, influencer, influencer. Only very few people are influencers successfully,
like most people are creators. They are creating content. That yeah,
because an influencer is trying to get you to buy something.
A creator is just trying to I don't know how
you pass the.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Time or last A certain way, yeah, certain way influence.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
You to do something. The only thing a creator is
trying to influence you to do is maybe laugh or
think or like, there's not a financial goal at the
end of it.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Holistic is a word I don't like. Yeah, I don't
like that either, because they put it to things that
it shouldn't be. With a holistic approach to paperwork. I
don't know, right, it's like it doesn't doesn't even mean,
it doesn't really mean anything that in certain ways that
it's used.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Well, another word on your is natural. Yes, yes, it's natural.
Well there's a lot of natural things that are that
are on healthy Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yeah, natural. Yeah, just natural does not in and of
itself mean anything. I mean this this was more especially
during the COVID times. He's unprecedented times.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
I hate the word unprecedented, like we are using it
entirely too often. I get that we are an unprecedented times,
just like we were an unprecedented times a year ago
and the year before and the year before that. But dang,
I am tired. Yeah, can I just be in precedented times? Right?

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (31:29):
The alpha and beta one that one bothers me. I'm like, yeah, no, no,
you're not that whatever themselves. They're like I'm the alpha here,
and I'm like, sit down.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'm okay with that in the sense that allows me
to immediately identify we're not going to get along.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Oh yeah, okay, I get there.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
It's like I'm an alpha male. I'm like, I think
our personalities are gonna clash. I'm not gonna invest much
in this.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
People say about me only time APA.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
In all honesty, it's different if somebody else said it
about him.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
But no, first partest thing from it. Self esteem is
what gets in the way.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Synergy is another big one too.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
And the one that you said that I agreed with gaslighting.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Oh, gaslights and used wrongly.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
When it's used to correctly describe the situation. Absolutely, but
like everyone's not gaslighting us. Some people are just telling
you the truth.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Sometimes you're just wrong, yeah, or you don't remember it
correct Yeah, right, I mean you're being gasolin Yep.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
When you're gaslighting to me, it comes with an intent, yes, yeah, absolutely,
Like not like, uh, you you never told me to
take out the drag, Yes, I did. Well, you're not ghasolate.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
You might not really remember, right, Yeah, end up trying
to do some hocus pocus, right, And.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
It also brings you to narcissist too. There's a lot
of narcissists out there, but that one gets overused.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
Where you're life does it?

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Does?

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Are all? Is everyone in your life a narcissis right?
You've got like twenty two narcissists in your life.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
That's high number, it really is. I Uh, work life
balance that one, I'm good with.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
I like that one.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
You know why I don't.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
I don't because I think it's very hard to be
in most pretending of your career to have this fifty
to fifty and fifty to fifty is not going to
be possible at all times. Yeah, yeah, definitely not a
flow a flow. So work life balance is important, Okay,
but sometimes it can't be. Sometimes it's got to be work, Yeah,

(33:29):
I got.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
To be life.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Sometimes it's got to be family.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
I'm okay with that one though, because the other one
that made the list is when people refer to work
as like your family. Yeah, and I obviously think very
highly of both of y'all. Like, it's not that I don't,
but I feel like whenever somebody says that in a
job interview or on the front end, they're they're setting
you up for a very toxic environment, like yeah, your
work coworkers and colleagues, they can turn into your family.

(33:55):
But if you're at the beginning like, oh, that's gonna
be we're going to be a family. We're really gonna
we're gonna really pulled that.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
That's when you too hard.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, that's when you throw the word back out work
life balance and see if they recoil in horror. And
if they do, you're like, yep, not a fit.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
All right, We're I don't I don't like one on
here that because I use it quick question.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Quick.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Mine is always quick. Yeah, I like that, and I
don't like to bother people. But that's on their seamless
is on there. Uh also on there is a calibrate.
She says, she works for the school district and you
we're going to calibrate and meeting her agenda about something,
just a reason to have a meeting.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
It sounds like, oh yeah, aesthetic is a problem for
me too.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
It's being used a lot, but I don't know what
you replace it with at this point.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
Calibrator, aesthetic, aesthetic, a look, a vibe. I don't know anything,
because it can go.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Your aesthetic can be like your close your decor, you're
there's just so many things.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
That just like, Yeah, but what is I don't know
what we say before, I don't know that's what I'm saying.
Fashion I'm into.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
I like or that.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, but I feel like I think we have just
your style, your.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Style, Yeah, maybe just your style, Like what would you
because you you're whatever that is you wear all the time.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
What do you call that? Do you call it esthetic?

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Yeah, it's the They call it dressing in dopamine, they do. Yeah,
it has a name.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
But do you say esthetic?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, that's my esthetic?

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Maybe yeah, maybe maybe it's just because a T shirt
and shorts doesn't have one, right, but you have.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Been aesthetic in your house because yours is all like
clean lines, nothing, no clutter.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yeah, too lazy to hang things up. There's what it is,
all right, lazy aesthetic.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
It's the Morning Mixed with Matt Harris and Liz Ludo mix.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Liz wants to bring something back before what that is
put all of that on? The mix is giving away
tickets the biggest summer concerts Rod Stewart P and C
Music Pavilion, July twenty ninth. You want tickets, you text
Matt m a t t to seven one zero zero
seven for your chance to win Matt to seven one
double seven.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
I am not the one that's asking for this to
come back. I'm seeing a trendy okay, I'm seeing a
trend on TikTok and ye okay. Maybe my algorithm is
feeding it to me. So maybe on a subconscious level,
I don't know, but it's that people say that we
might have gone too far. We bullied the Karens so
much that now people aren't carroning out in public, and
as a result, we're all suffering. And like, obviously I'm

(36:23):
not saying go somewhere where there's a minimum wage worker
and like bully them. But one of the videos they
saw was somebody that had gone to a sandwich shop
and there was an hour and a half until closing,
and they asked for their sandwich toasted, to which the
person said, well, I already cleaned it, and they said, well,
there's there's an hour and a half until closing. This

(36:44):
is a fourteen dollars sandwich. Could I get it toasted?

Speaker 4 (36:47):
And they were like, don't they know you say it's broken?

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Come on right, and so the person was like, I
didn't know what to do in that moment because you
can't you can't really care and back because that that's
going to wind up on the internet. Yeah, so they
said they just walked away, they just walked away from
the situation and yet again not saying to bully.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Minimaliza the top Karens.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
If there's something to be said about you're saying calling
out behavior or worked at like or whatever that sometimes
needs called out.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like we're.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Not toasting the sandwich, but we're still asking for a
tip at the end. You know, that idea is what
people seem to be wanting to fight against, and they're like,
we need we need to release the Karens again.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
A medium Karen right, Karen light, Karen light.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Yeah, that that is it, because sometimes there is behavior
that there's.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Bad behavior that there were a lot of people that
probably you know, they should not have been acting that
way and they were held accountable for their actions.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Well and also a lot of those the Karen thing
sometimes too for me was like, okay, we are seeing
this part of it was over the top, but what
was before that? I've always wanted to do like a
documentary on the most famous Karens and find out would
all their friends and family say, that's so typical or
was that way out of character? Just one of those

(38:13):
bad days you got the seven second or seven seconds
of your life. Yeah, I've always been intrigued by that, like,
is it just well that's yeah, all their friends would say, yeah,
that's typical, right, or was it just a weird moment? Yeah,
that would be very interesting. Yeah, to just study to
see what. You know, people are losing their jobs and

(38:35):
stuff sometimes and then I get it if it's you
yelling up for that's some really horrible things. But sometimes
maybe you just had a bad day and you lost
it on somebody, right, yeah, you know, or whatever, which is.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Something sandwich yeah, yeah, yeah, or the Karens of the
world that would go after corporate America, you know what
I mean, Like, those are the ones we need, not
the ones coming after the underpaid employees go straight to
the top.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yeah, well maybe the toasted person. I mean, there's an
hour and a half still left.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
Right right right, I mean you do what you're not
coming in ten minutes before the store's.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Closed, because then you completely understand, because then you're like,
what do you can you just make me already? I
don't want to be difficult, like we all get that,
but an hour and a half, yeah, come on.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
Maybe it's a Karen light where you're not like you said.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Yeah, and it's more like, well this I don't understand
that there's something to be or there's something to be
said about the having some social parameters that allow people
to know that they are misbehaving, right yeah, or or
not even miss made, not.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
Doing their jobs. But in that.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Situation, if there's an hour and a half, maybe that
is somewhere where it warrants may I speak to your manager?
Which I never thought I would utter that phrase, but like, oh.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
Yeah, that the Karen saying maybe give yeah light but
the kids probably is the.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Manager, right, And then you're like okay, well oh yeah, yeah,
a little bit of a we're.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Justly yeah yeah, it completely come out full now.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
But maybe like some people deserve a little shame in life.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
A little a little sprinkling, Yeah, my dazzle.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
I feel tons of shame all the time. So you
don't have to carry I mean, I'm not going to
be the one.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
I'm not going to be the one.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Money either, but I'd be okay if I got the
benefits of it. That's pretty bad.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
Yeah, just keeps society in line.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Here and if you carens here and there, right, Yeah,
No Morning mix man Harris Liz.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Luda came out with the twenty one most Hated foods
in the world. So this is the whole world old.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
Well, I be mostly American type stuff though, right.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
There's there was only one thing on here. I'd never
heard of so and and it came from Yummy something
was the publication, So like, take it for what it is.
But so, the twenty first most hated food is Brussels sprouts.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
Okay, I don't hate them.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
I love them.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
I've only had it once, yeah, and it was fine. Yeah,
that's fine. It has to be cooked right and seasoned
right and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Right, Okay, I think they're really yummy. And I'm going
to preface this, but I think this entire list is
wrong because number twenty is cantalope.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
That's weird to be on the list. Yeah, I don't
know if I have any honey do every day?

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Honey, you didn't make the list, Candle did?

Speaker 4 (41:04):
Yeah, way worse.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Like I understand, sometimes you're just settling for a melon
and they're not always in season. But like candle, the worst,
the worst, like nineteen is pickles.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
Oh, I would, because that's going through that whole Pickles
is what bacon was a few years back, right, Yeah,
tell me that.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
The other day they were like, why do all these
people all of a sudden all have pickles? Is it
just like a trend that you're hopping on. And I
have a theory for it, And it's that growing up
when you went to like baseball games and basketball games,
that's when they started selling the big dill pickles out
of the barrel jar. And so I think for us,
it's a nostalgia. So that's why a lot of the
millennials right now are like really in love with pickles.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
I never saw the ball games.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
No, I don't remember that either.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
And I said, I never saw it in a movie theater.
And you said you' seen a movie theater.

Speaker 5 (41:49):
Yeah, I mean never in a movie.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
And I've never seen anyone in being a pickle at
a ball game. I don't think I'm.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Having Danley County. I can only tell you maybe, Yeah,
ok Bo Locus whoever wants to represent right now? You
got pickles at the game?

Speaker 4 (42:04):
Do they sell pickle like?

Speaker 3 (42:05):
I mean, I'm not talking about there pickles and things,
but like a bag of America Stadium. I don't recall
ever seeing someone with eating a spector a pickle.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Well, concert, have you seen anybody a concert?

Speaker 5 (42:18):
Definitely not, because that'd.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Be so nice though, on the lawn in the sunshine,
come in individual bags now taking into a gas station.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
Yeah, but I know what you mean.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
But I just seven oh four or five, seven oh
one or seven nine. I just haven't seen it.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
I don't I don't know. It would seem weird to
me to see someone walking around with a pickle.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Yes, I don't know why, but it seems too juicy.
Pull in a movie theater. Oh, you wrap a paper
towel around it when you got it out of the
big jar. They would give it to you and it
would wrap in a paper towel and you eat it
and you throw a paper towel away.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
I just haven't seen it.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
But all right, well, number eighteen is black licorice we
can all agree with. Yeah, seventeen is tuna salad. I understand.
Sixteen is candy corn. Like I knew it was probably
gonna make the list. It's just sugar and corn syrup.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
But like I don't think that is more one of
those that has a reputation. Yeah, like it became a
thing to hate candy corn a few years ago. I
mean I liked it necessarily, but it became this movement,
right yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah, Like, don't need a whole bag of it, you're
gonna feelqueasy. But yeah. Fifteen is spam, which I like spam,
especially when I lived on the West Coast there was
a lot of like Filipino restaurants.

Speaker 4 (43:24):
And and uh, I get why people hate it.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Spam and eggs.

Speaker 8 (43:26):
It's delicious. I don't like it cold oh yeah, no,
definitely cold. Yeah, oh by today. When we were kids,
we get cold, oh not fried. We just get it
out of the thing, cut it up. But aateur, that's
why you didn't like it.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Yeah, I know, that's that's one hundred percent of the
problem there. Fourteen is mayonnaise whatever.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
Yeah, well, I mean I get that, likenaise.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Sixteen or not.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Sixteen.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
Thirteen is ginger, I get that, Yeah, strong, It's got
a strong taste, Yeah for sure.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Twelve is liver. I'll get behind you.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
Yeah yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
Eleven is pineapple pizza.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
I feel like they're that again, reputation thing. That's one
of those things that people have to say that's over it.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
It's fine.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
It baloney my favorite. I want the I love baloney.
Nine is circus peanuts. We can agree. Eight is eggplant.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
I don't like egg plants, plant pard.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
The only thing I didn't know on the list is
number seven. It's bitter gourd, which apparently is very big
in China and it's not liked apparently. And then Durian
fruit is number six. That's the one that apparently I've
always wanted to try. It's supposed to be really delicious,
but it's very smelly until you get past the smell.
And I'm afraid that I wouldn't know how to pick
the right one. I need someone to teach me their ways.

(44:40):
Five is tomatoes.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
My dad hates tomatoes. My kids hate tomatoes.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Four mushrooms, which I think is a touch mushrooms, but
I get it like mushrooms.

Speaker 5 (44:49):
Two.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Three is cilantro.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
I get it again. Because it tastes some people. It
says it tastes like wet.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
And you know what, I think it tastes like soap.
But I think it tastes like delicious soap.

Speaker 5 (44:58):
Yeah, I'm with you on that, so I don't. I
think it smells like soap, but does it taste that way?

Speaker 1 (45:03):
Yeah, because I can't figure out if I have the
genetic thing that makes it taste like soap, because it
does taste like soap, but I'm not turned off by that.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
I never use it in the recipe because it feels
it's too hard to pick it apart and chop it.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Oh, I love it. Number two is olives, Well, I
have to go, And then number one I'm angry about
it's beats. Beets are delicious. They are so underappreciated. I
eat pickled beets at least once a week. They're so yummy.
You can also like do a sheet pan with beets, like, oh,
it's so good.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
That's awful.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
You've just never had them properly prepared.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
I think, well, Jana Jackson one says, to give me
the beat. I don't think beats are good.

Speaker 5 (45:45):
No, they just look so. They don't look at it.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
They you know, it's like they're trying to fool you.
Think it's cranberry, yes.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
When they're pickled. I mean no, No, it's a similar
color when it's pickled. Is the Morning Mix? Matt Harris
Liz Luda producer TJ.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
For those who have not followed the show, Liz is
afraid of everything every just a reminder, here's a short list.
Kiosk cars released from a carrier truck driving on the interstate,
driving on any weather, drones, space heaters, snakes falling from trees,
two being conversion tables falling backward, the jungle, stepping on snakes,
QR codes, bugs, lunch meat, carrots, robots, roller coasters, being

(46:25):
strengthened in a car, high top table, silence, not talking
to her husband more than seven seconds. And this week
we've added hammocks. And now we just found out that
she won't have a grill, propaine drill or yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Okay, So I will go ahead and say, like, I'm
not that ridiculous. We have a George Foreman that has
legs on it, and we can take it outside and
plug it in and use it and then we clean
it up and we bring it back inside.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
To what are your reasons why you can't have a thrill?

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Okay? So the thing with the propane girl, I have
an overwhelming fear of fire, and I am afraid it's
going to go up in flames, and I will not
store propane in my garage. I don't like it. I
don't know, it just scares me. The grill's outside, okay, yeah,
but like what if I forget to turn it off.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Or it'll probably have an automatic shut off maybe but
so maybe nothing. It'll probably run out of propane for a.
That's the biggest shouldn't do it, but it'll probably run
out of propane.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
You know, It's just it's it's a here, take care
of it. Yeah, yeah, you know, but I it just
it is what it is. So I don't like the propane.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
And millions of people with the propane girls are probably
all over your neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Well, what makes this even worse is the house we
lived in before this. Propane was the energy we used,
so and I was scared every single day, my hot
water heater, like everything was propane. And I was like,
and I didn't know until after we moved in, and
I was like, we got to move out. We gotta
get out of here, we gotta get out of here.
But still, like, I think it's because I saw too
many movies as kid. I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
I just don't put the charcoal grill.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
I don't want to transport the propane.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
It's also fire way.

Speaker 8 (48:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
And so then we did have a charcoal grill because
I was like, well, this will be fine, right, and
then like we didn't use it for like a week,
and then some birds nested in it, and so then
like they left, and then we cleaned it out, but
I feel like we never really got it clean.

Speaker 4 (48:13):
So oh wait, wait, wait, all you have to do
is remove the nest.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Right, Yeah, but there's a lot of germs there.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
No, yes, there's fire. What's the fire is there dead
like off.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Towards the edge of the inside of the grill and
so then whatever, So it finally got me over the
fear of the fact that the birds nest had been there.
And then also now I have to like check every
single time to make sure there's not like a hidden berms.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
Right.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
But then I did finally do the whole like charcoal
thing again, and I went out one morning and there
were two possums and they were just licking my grill.
And I love wildlife, but there's something unnerving about just
seeing possums in the dark with their glowy eyes, just
laying on their backs, licking the bottom of the grill.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
But you still grow tomatoes yet the possums are out there.
You still like the possums around, you say.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
I do like animals. Yeah, I don't want them licking
the thing I'm about to cook with. They weren't looking.

Speaker 4 (49:13):
They were looking at the bottom of right there, that's what.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Even if they were looking the great yeah, just spray,
you light the fire, burns, it all all gone.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
But like if the possum was licking the outside, maybe
something taller is coming and licking my up. Come on,
I mean maybe.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Just because her husband, Jimmy wanted to get a blackstone
flat top, yes, and she's like, well, we don't have
the counter space. Counter space, you know that's an outside thing. Yes,
And she's like, I don't want to put it outside.
Like if I had a grill, I'd have to bring
it inside all the time.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
Like, you don't know nobody.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
It's probably some people that fraid's gonna get stolen. But
most part you leave your green eggs, your charcoal, grills,
your things. They're out all the time all the time.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
No, Like I'll look the other way like a smoker.

Speaker 5 (50:00):
All allow, what what's the difference.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Because the smoker like it's harder to get into that, so,
like it's not like the animal.

Speaker 5 (50:08):
Is gonna gonna know there's actually room in a smoker
for them to crawl into and like move around.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
I think different smokers. The smoker I had it was,
it was different. You are absolutely like you clean the
smoker out, you know what I mean? Like it doesn't
always have something inflammable in there.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
Well, I mean your charcoal grill you're like, Or your
grasper You're like, well you clean it every time?

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Do You're like, no, mean you strap off.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
That's the next spear.

Speaker 7 (50:37):
Though.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
You have to be very careful with those those grill
brushes because people get them lodged in their.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
Throat all the times.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Where the bristole might come off in your hambap. But
even then, what happens, Yeah, they.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Die, they don't die.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
You clean the grates with aluminum foil. I'm a professional here.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Oh that's makes my teeth hurt. I don't know why
you're not chewing it.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
Don't you ever cook anything in your stove with aluminum oil?

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Yeah, but I'm not scrubbing something with aluminifoil.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
I feel like that noise is terrifyps how does she live?

Speaker 4 (51:13):
I live through life.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Trust me, I'm still eating. Take a look at me.
We're fine.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Oh, I know you're fine, but you're missing out a
lot of things. And your rationale is who for cocoa puffs?

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Can you tell me when you get freaked out if
you saw a possum lick in the bottom of your grill?

Speaker 4 (51:29):
If you're talking the kind that I put on my teeth,
maybe yeah. Thanks for starting your day with The Morning Miss.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
It's The Morning mixed with Matt Harrison.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
Here's your latest pop up date.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Top Chef is going to be filming here in Charlotte,
and this is really exciting because Charlotte isn't necessarily known
as well for having like a food identity, and a
lot of times when we think of like elevated Southern cooking,
we think of Charleston and Savannah and all these other cities,
and it's about time that we get our due. And
so they're going to be filming the upcoming season here

(52:04):
in Charlotte, which gives the opportunity for different places to
be highlighted. Because whenever city they film, and they usually
highlight some form of local culture, local area, local foods
that they make part of the you know, the competition
moving forward, and so I think that that's really really cool.
The show's not going to air until twenty twenty six,
but start looking around. Keep your head on the swivel

(52:26):
because the judges and stuff are going to be around town.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
I think they're doing something in Greenville too, as a
matter of fact. All right, So happy Gilmour Too hits
the Netflix tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
It's been a while. Used to have my favorite movie,
but I haven't watched it since.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
How funny will it be? Will it be funny at all?
Is Adam Sandler funny? So they did a survey couple
thousand people. Forty four percent of people say that he's
at least somewhat funny. Okay, yeah, Twenty seven percent said
very funny, so yeah, take that, Yeah, thirteen percent not
very funny, nine percent not funny at all. Wow, the

(53:07):
you know, here's what he is at this point, all right,
then saying that it's it's one of those things where
I think if anybody else.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
Was doing some of the movies he's I'd be like,
this is the worst.

Speaker 5 (53:19):
Yes, that makes sense. You kind of give him a
pass because of what he's done in the past.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
And he just yeah fun like, Yeah, you go into
it not expecting it to be the funniest thing you've
ever seen, but you know it's gonna be enjoyable.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
There's gonna be ecent.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
You know you're gonna find at least one quotable moment,
maybe you'll laugh somewhere, and if not, it's just gonna
probably end as a feel good movie.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
He And he's one of those guys that you just
you know all the pot at least, is like the
nicest guy ever. He's his friends and stuff all the time. Yes,
he's always buying his friend stuff. You hear about that,
and taking care of his friends.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
So and don't forget he's sang the lunch Lady song
on SNL, which I forget often quote in my life
because every time I have happy Joe, slap of Joe,
Slap of Joe. That man could do anything. At this point,
I was like, he did, sloppy Joe.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
He did. He was also in a scene with THEO
and The Cosby Show.

Speaker 5 (54:11):
Oh yeah he was.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
He was one of his friends.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Yeah, he said THEO, and I automatically thought of my
own child selfish fuxtable. I got so that's a.

Speaker 4 (54:23):
Big, big happy Gilmore dude to mar Julie Bowens back
and things like that. All right.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Talking about Adam Sandler, bad Bunny said, the first time
he met Adam sandlery cried, like straight up cried. So
he is in the Happy Gilmore movie, Bad Bunny is.
And he said he had texted before with Adam Sandler,
but they had never met. He was at a basketball
game and Adam Sandler's daughter actually recognized Bad Bunny as
like a celebrity and pointed him out to her dad,

(54:49):
and Bad Bunny said that Adam Sandler locked eyes with
him and like gave him an acknowledgment, like a like
a hello, like a nod. And he said he just
started crying, which how funny is that? I wish that
had been caught like where it's like, why is bad
Bunny crying at a basketball game? But the whole reason
is because he's like, oh my gosh, it's one of
my heroes. So funny.

Speaker 4 (55:07):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
Man.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
There's there's not a celebrity. I can't imagine meeting anyone
celebrity or non celebrity.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
So many famous people that I would have cried to
have met you you met Richard Simmons multiple times?

Speaker 4 (55:21):
Okay, yeah, no crying, no cry teared up a little.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Oh well, now that the auction's over, I can publicly
disclose this. A lot of his his stuff was up
on auction for the past three days, and I've been
watching the prices to see if I could afford anything.
This is Richard Simmons. Now I couldn't. It was too
rich for my blood.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
What were you eyeballing?

Speaker 1 (55:40):
I wanted to get one of his tank tops, and
I wanted to get it framed the same way you
get like jerseys from much was it? They all went
up to like seven hundred dollars and that's too much.
And memorabilia, well, Richard, yeah, well there were there were
a lot of them listed, and that's that was on
the lower end. Some of them went for more like
if it was one that he wore like in a

(56:02):
famous appearance or like in sweating to the oldies, and
some of them it's like he wore this on the
local TV and even those ones also, God, I can't.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
You were Kevin Rubin in the Morning. It's the Morning
mixed with Matt Harris and.

Speaker 4 (56:15):
Liz Ludam mixed.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
It's the Morning Mix, Matt Harris and Liz Luda in
the mix giving away a dress up and get away
to Ashville. And right now talking to Kyle McCurry, the
PR director of Ashville, and I want to mention first
of all, that everything's open. We talked about this last week,
but everybody is up there and waiting for visitors, correct, Kyle, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (56:43):
I, Matt and Liz, thank you so much, And first off,
thank you for helping spread the word. Ashville is absolutely open, welcoming,
and ready for visitors. Especially you're living at Charlotte, you
make a quick trip on the weekend. You may be
even a day trip if you want. And I think
there's been a common misconception that our area is still
too impacted by last year's storm to visit, but it

(57:04):
really couldn't be further from the truth. It's more than
about ninety percent of Bungom County's open thriving, and whether
you're walking the streets to downtown, or you're dining in
Black Mountain or browsing the shops in Weaverville, you'll fill
the energy and creativity that makes this place so special.
And I'll tell you right now, you've never been more
welcome than a small business or a restaurant, because this

(57:24):
community really wants to see you. They need you now,
and we hope the visitors will make the trip.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
And what's that exciting stuff that's going on in Nashville.

Speaker 6 (57:33):
Coming up this weekend? A great time to be here.
Widespread panic is in town and that the city's alive
with music. There's a big two day celebration called Party
at Your Mama's House at Dissolver and Shady Grow Coffee.
There's live shows and indie market food, beer, all the
local flavor. Saturday Night Shindig on the Greens, it's going
to light up Pack Square with free bluegrass music, Mountain music,

(57:56):
flat foot Dancing under the Stars. It's beautiful and Ober
and Moford. There's a Midsummer Night's Dream outdoors at the
Hazel Robinson Amphitheater, So you know, Little Shakespeare with Carolina Twist.
And I think it's important that I mentioned, as has
been previously mentioned by Mickey, We're also celebrating Independent Retailer
Month with Ashvill's Indie Retail Challenge. So if you stop
into locally owned shops, check in on your phone and

(58:20):
you'll be entered to win one of several prize packages,
and that includes that gets with East Fork Pottery, mugg
Artists and print from Horse and Hero sour with honey
from actual bee charmer, you name it. I think it's
also important too that we mentioned that, you know, when
you come to Ashley, you think about being outdoors, and
they're open and waiting for everyone. Frank Broad River is
flowing again. Tubing, paddleboarding, kayaking, all available through local outfitters,

(58:44):
sliding rockets, back open waterfall hikes, in trails, it's already
and then also mentioned too River Arts District, the Upper
Rad is thriving, hundreds of artists there with the creative spirits,
and we hope you come down because there's live music,
the food trucks there, gallery events all weekend long.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
And it's about ten degrees colder than it is here
in sweat Is Charlotte.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Yeah's supposed to be ninety five on Saturday here about
eighty five in Ashville with Loa's into sixties. So that's
a good reason too to make the trip.

Speaker 6 (59:16):
Yeah, And so so I think you're right. I mean,
not only that, but if you get in a werber,
you're not going to care what the temperature is and
plenty of places of the city too. But if you're
listening from Charlotte and you're wondering if now the time
to come, I just want to tell you yes, Marmin,
and that's what's important.

Speaker 4 (59:31):

Speaker 4 (59:46):
Thanks my man, Thank you buddy. See you by morning, MiGs,
Matt Harris, Liz Ludup. There's a TJ.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
And do you think that more Americans are optimist or pessimist?

Speaker 5 (59:59):
Optimist I'm gonna go pessimist.

Speaker 3 (01:00:03):
That you are into you're playing in your roles. No,
Forty six percent said it's probably an even split. A
twenty four percent said more pessimist. Fourteen percent said more optimist.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
Oh that makes me sad. I like to think that
more people believe that, you know, good will win out
and things are gonna turn out okay, Well, but.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
Most people are like, it's a fifty's the optimist are
half full. Yeah, they can't even be making a decisions. Yeah,
I think it's very situational. I think too, right, I
don't think there's not too many people who are optimistic
over every single day, like you like to think you are,
but you're not.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
I'm optimistic. I think in the big picture, big picture
after so, like, obviously, I know you have a hard
time with the fact that I'm scared of everything. You're like,
that's because you're always thinking the worst is gonna happen.
I look at that as mentally preparing myself or ill
you know what I mean. Like, I look at it
as I'm just creating possible scenarios so I know what
to do in the event of those scenarios happening. Like

(01:01:02):
if there's a possum licking my grill, how to properly
clean it?

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
You say, just don't even get one?

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
That is correct?

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
Do you do you consider yourself?

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
They said, what do you consider yourself optimist or pestimist?

Speaker 4 (01:01:16):
What percent? Say? Optimist?

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Seventy three?

Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
Yeah, I'm going to go fifty nine. Oh wow, Yeah,
I think more.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
People consider themselves Optimistice say, now you say I'm pessimistic,
but I disagree with you. You're not pulling partally. I'm like,
you can say that all day, but doesn't make it true.

Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
You're not as much as an optimist as you like
to say.

Speaker 5 (01:01:38):
You are, right, I'll second that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
Yeah, could we bust you so many times?

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Like I'm realistic. I'm a realistic optimist. Let me tell
yourself that that things aren't going to happen, but you
know what happens as you get up the next day, hopefully.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
And you keep on you're optimist. Like you said about
the big picture, I think, yes, yeah, but there are
things that really matters.

Speaker 6 (01:01:58):
Is it really?

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
That's what That's what a lying pessimist says? What are
you more optimistic as time boat goes by?

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
Is the older you get?

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Probably the other way, become more pessimistic. Twenty two percent
doesn't change thirty five per cent more.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Yeah, because I think the older you get, the more
things you've weathered through, the more trauma, the more hard situations,
whatever it is, and you start to learn like, man,
right now really sucks. This sucks really bad. But it's
not always going to be this way, because I've learned
that from the past, Like you know what I know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
Because you see a lot of the old gruffy ones,
the worst the world's ever been.

Speaker 4 (01:02:41):
The door's coming to an end, You'll get kids are.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Selfish though, you know what I mean. Like you can
be going through a really hard time and then there
it's somehow as long as you make it through, you
make it through, and then things get good again, and
then they have the potential to go bad. But guess what,
it's going to get good again.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
So is that a pessimist though, saying it's going to
get bad?

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
I don't think so. I think because I believe that
the optimism wins out, Like I I know that, Yeah,
this might be a tough time, but it's gonna get better.

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
But you're predicting there's gonna be bad times. Does that?
Can't that makes you optimistic?

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
It can all always be sunshine and puppies. And I
understand that it will be sunshine and puppies again, and
it just might not be right now.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
No, it is close. But men are more likely to
be optimistic than women. Optimist are more likely to live
in the south, and west pessimist more likely than the northeast.

Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
Oh well it's cloudy, they're all jammed in there.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
The seasonal depression is real. I you know what, when
I when I lived in the Pacific Northwest, it was
really cloudy. I was probably more pessimistic because I was like,
the sun's never gonna come out, never again. It's it's
gonna rain for days and days and days.

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
I am optimistic about other people's lives, okay, more than
I am on my own.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Well, I'll be optimistic for your life. Thank you, thank you.
I'll take it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
I am. I'm just afraid to be optimistic. I feel
like it's gonna jink something. Yes, doesn't feel that you
know what I'm saying. Yes, that's a really weird thing.
And I know obviously rationally that makes no sense.

Speaker 5 (01:04:00):
Well, it's like I've been wrong enough. If I put
too much faith faith in this, then they'll be like, ah,
yeah I went to craft Sideway. Yeah exactly, yes, yes,
but like I'm with.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
You that smaller picture though, so like think about it though,
like if you go through a hard time, you know
it's going to get better eventually.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
Until the next time. Yeah, I know you're right, right right, I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
Going to force my optimism on.

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):
About everybody else.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
I'm optimistic that you will be optimistic.

Speaker 4 (01:04:34):
Thank you, Thank you, thank you you're not an optimist.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
Make it true.

Speaker 4 (01:04:39):
It's the Morning Mix
