I thought maybe I'd walk out today and all would
be dry.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
No chance.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yes, they keeps saying like lower chances of rain, like
twenty percent or whatever. But yesterday was pretty much rainy,

Liz out today. I know everybody else is. You know,
when you ever hear a dream from somebody, it's always
super boring and uh and I don't necessarily buy into
all the interpretations of it and everything, right, Yeah, me neither.
But lately I have been having these dreams where random

(00:52):
celebrities pop up, Oh wow, out of nowhere. It's just
so stupid, just a miniver version of what the dream
was about. Basically, I was at like a brewery and
Jay Leno was at my table and his wife, and
I was killing it. The wife was laughing, laughing. Lena
wasn't much paying attention. He's like, I got this great fit.
I'm gonna get Ryan Seacrest to do this bit for

(01:13):
me and blah blah blah. And I'm just killing a
mumpsm with mystery woman, which makes sense because I wouldn't
be with a woman's right. Yeah later generic And so
I finally get the guts to say, Leno, I can
be on your show whatever. And I'm about to talk
to him, and Barry Manilo cuts me off. Wo and
I whoa, and I said, and I acted like I

(01:34):
was his friend. Manelo, what are you doing? Man you're
blocking me. I wanted to get on the Leno show.
And he's like, well, I tell you Matt Man he's
my buddy. Whatever, blah blah blah. I'm a man a lo, Manelo,
you're killing me here, man Lo and Hella Jaelena goes, hey,
come back to the house, Barry, let's do this.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I said, Manelo, why don't you take me as your
plus one? So he didn't invite. He didn't say I
could have a plus one.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
When somebody invites you over their house and they say, come,
you're allowed to bring someone, and man alas like man
man to tell you we're good friends. I know, but
I can't take you. I'm like, what the hell's happened
in Manelo?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
And that was my dream? Isn't that random?

Speaker 3 (02:08):
And that is so wold? And it's sound like I
love Manelo or love Leno, or I've seen them or
talked to them.

same thing you've tweeted group tech. This is terrific.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Seven highly motivated, tenacious Buckeyes are out there hunting for news.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
He'd be a fool to bet against that. Here's Oscar
not again. I'm not agreeing to any of this. I
will make this unusable. Is that? And he's not in
there just as a gag.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
He's going to be part of the show and the
paper premiere is September fourth on Peak, with four episodes.
Two episodes released each week after that through September twenty fifth.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Love It.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
The trailer worked, There's no doubt about it. And this
is an interesting little tidbit. McCauley. Calkin's stunt double for
Home Alone was a thirty year old guy.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yes, I've seen this. You did. That's so great. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
He was on the Hot Ones and when asked to
fact check some rumors for starters, she is a stunt
double thing, a very short thirty year old man. Larry, Larry,
I almostaid'm Larry mccallley. McCauley was nine years old at
the time, and he knew Larry was much older.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
He thought he was thirteen.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah, McCauley remember being worried about Larry when he had
to do a stunt where he falls from a collapsed
shelf and mccallay's like, that was a viscious first take
they didn't like the way everything felt.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
They had to do it.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Again and again and again. And I said, I'm thirteen.
I'm saying, please take you. He was only how old?
Nine nine? He says, take it easy on Larry. He's
only thirteen. Yeah, he al, he's.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
A grown man. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
And I wonder if that guy goes around telling everybody
and if they believe him. I would, for sure I would,
But then I hope then you didn't have a camera
to take a picture, like would even prove it.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
He also mentioned that his because you're a stranger line
to the grocery store clerk was all his idea. And uh, yes,
the photo of Buzz's girlfriend was a boy with makeup on. Yes,
and the Playboy magazine had pages blue together Day the
Morning Mixed, Matt Harris, Let's lose out Today, TJ hanging
out and producing, and uh there was a thing on

(18:32):
Reddit about They asked people did you win the genetic lottery?
And they mean in like a weird, super weird way, right,
And some of the ones were like, I would like this,
uh superpower that this person has, and of course they
can sit the wrong button. But I'll be back because
I don't have anything extra amazing. Yeah, I got like,

(18:54):
you know, weird things in my hands. That's not good. No,
But one person says that they want a genetic lottery
because mosquito bites and poison ivy have no effect on them.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
I would love that so much. Poison ivy especially like
that stuff tears me up.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
That is yeah, that would be.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
And I know a lot of people who get My
brother in law gets massive welts from mosquitoes. Oh, massive welts,
So that is a superpower. And then there is what
would I apologize to everybody in their whole wide world
because everything just went blank on here. But there was
one person who well, I have two spleens, which is

(19:38):
you know that I don't know what's going to come
in handy ever. But they said the one spleen because
they removed one they found one in there. They said,
it's super weird, but it might do like fifty percent
if I'm lucky. Yeah, this person says, I have no
leg hair, arm hair. I have not had to shave
in twenty six years, but they got apparently they have
the other hair, so right, the good hairs.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
I'm to go into a swimming career. Or you shouldn't
have started that early.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
True.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
There's a guy who says he has a huge bladder.
He's the road trip champion. He says, oh yeah, than
the opposite. Yeah. This person says they can only say
three to four hours and they feel rested of sleep.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh that would be a great one.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
There was a time when like I kind of had
to do that and I but yeah, I didn't love it.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
This person says they have one hundred and twenty percent
lung capacity, So only my legs go numb when I'm sprinting.
I only feel tired when I stop.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
What.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yes, because because they're not tired of running, their legs
will give out before their lungs give out, Like they
won't be win new that's insane. Yes, A bunch of
people said they never had that.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Braces.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
I didn't have them, But now look what's happening. This
person has double eyelashes. She's a woman, and so says
she doesn't have to use mascaret because she's got and
I looked at it's a thing.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Double eyelashes. That just means they're like super thick.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
I guess, right, yeah, I guess like mually, like is
there double the number or is it two layers on
top of that.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I don't know. Like I read these and I'm like,
I am the opposite of all these right, Yeah, my
brain is broken.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
I do have good hair, though, I'll think you have
great hair, so maybe that's my power?

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Is your is it your parents have great hair? Well?
My mom does? My dad? No?

Speaker 3 (21:24):
No?

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (21:27):
I mean like I, I don't feel rested even after
a ton of sleep. I got a small bladder.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
And then somebody says, no matter how much ice cream
eat and no matter how fast they eat it, they
never get a brain free I get a brain freeze
every single time, really, and it hurts so bad. And
my kids mock me because I'll be in pain. But
then I keep eating and they're like, just.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Stop, and I'm like, I can't. It's so good.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
If you get them torturing.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yourself, they hurt so bad.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
So I am the opposite of of of most of
these things, which is is terrible. You have got something
like that, a weird freakish thing about you that you
know it's it's cool, the double eyelashes, double.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Organ that you may or may not need.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Later on, some sort of weird I know I have
no people with webbed feet, which it doesn't really come
in handy except for a party trick. But you know,
sure after this article I found is about guys going
on marathon dates, epic romantic odyssees. They go from like
four to ten hours, if not more, on the first date,

(22:30):
on the On the first date, Jose a pilot from
Queens to New York post he was sent back well
over nine hundred dollars. He took a lady in a
five hour private day flight to Niagara Falls and she
ghosted them. But that's on you, dude, Yeah, that's him.
The first date, nine hundred dollars. He says, my heart

(22:51):
was shattered for like a week, but my wallet hasn't recovered. Dude,
come on again, on you. This guy posted on TikTok
his date first date lasted more than eight hours. He
got home at four am, started with coffee, and then
went straight through and he woke up with a brutal
we're not a match message.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Oh how did you spend that time?

Speaker 3 (23:13):

Speaker 3 (23:15):
She was probably cheating on somebody or something, right, twenty
nine year old guy spent I mean New York we
have things who went to the Museum of Natural History
Walker Central Park did this other things, had some night caps.
It was a ten hour date and he got cohosted
and then I coasted for two weeks and then she said,
I'm setting loud. I don't feel a connection. That is insane.

(23:37):
He planned it too, and I think, like if you
I told a buddy of mine he went on a
first date and he told the woman bring a change
of clothes because it was hot, it was a summer.
We're gonna go to this festival. We're going to this.
I'm like, dude, yeah, that's too much to do that. No,
that's I think that's too much. It's definitely too much.
And she was she did it, but never talk. Ago

(24:00):
also ghosted him, but she should have been out. But
I think if you ask someone, I'll bring a change
of clothes, that's even more.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
That's such a commitment to like I'm assuming a lot
of times it's the first time you're meeting, you know,
at least like in person, right, and so like I
can understand the yeah, hey, the vibe goes, we're gonna
go check out some live music after dinner.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Or the first date that was long, right, Yeah, yeah,
I mean the initial plan.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
That wasn't in the initial plan was Hey, let's go
to dinner and then see what happened. Yeah, you didn't
write any right, maybe we'll go get drinks afterwards. Maybe
we'll just see what's going on near us. That was work,
It worked out right. Yeah, you could have easily ended it.
No one would have been It could have just been
the dinner date.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
And you didn't.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
You didn't say out loud we might do all this stuff.
You were just gonna in your head. You're thinking, oh,
I'll play this out and see how play.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, you want to make sure that the connection is
there before you move on to the second location, or
you know, invest ten hours and wow, and I.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Don't and and the fact that a guy or a
gal would spend ten hours then go somebody like you
had to feel something, didn't.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
You right for that long? Or or you're just like, oh,
here's some free stuff.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, I don't know what because I don't even I'm
not sure I want to spend ten hours with me
by my you know just right, I mean by myself
would be great, but I'm not that great. Ten hours
for me first date? Yeah, have you guys done this
especially when here from the ladies. If someone said, like,
I think a woman would be like, dude, first you, well,
you want to go on a ten hour date in

(25:33):
the first I think they would be like, you're weird,
dude very much.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
I would think so too, right, especially if you're taking
a flight. I think safety would be involved too, like
are you kidnapping me right now?

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Like come on, seven four five, seven oh one oh
seven nine. Have you had super long first dates? What
would your reaction be if a guy says, oh, here's
what we're gonna do or first date, we're gonna do this,
We're gonna be spend it's like eight hours.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Long in the morning.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
It's the morning mixed with Matt Harrison, Liz Ludam.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
If you have teenage boys, you probably have said many times,
you idiots. Yeah, so buddy, I was when I was
talking to the it's been raining here. It's been raining
for a week right right then, By the way, it's
gonna move out. We might even see some sunshine later today.
Don't believe where I see it. But you know mudding right,

(26:28):
oh yeah, know, you take the truck out and you
just spin around.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
And write in the mud and make circles basically in
the mud slinging around.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
But you shouldn't do that after it's rain for a week.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
You would you do it when it's a little bit
dry ish, right, not not dry, you know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (26:42):
Right?

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Not just a straight mud pit.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
So he's his kid and three other kids.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
They take their truck to go mudding, and they tell
me that they weren't more than three to five minutes
in and they were stuck and they had to call
the one of the dads.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
I called them first. Dad. He's like, I don't even
I don't know what to tell you. I don't have
a try. I've got nothing's there to try another one.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Right, He's furious that he's got to go out there
and save these idiots.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Right, he pulled them out.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
But he gets even weird because he he pulls up
and they are there. They're all in their underwear because
didn't want to get their clothes money. Right, So there's
four teenage boys just standing there in their underwear and
he's like, you are the biggest idiots in the history
of the world.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't even want to help you now. I just
went to you.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Stay here in your underwear. Yeah, rain in the mud. Yes,
and he was like it was and I was just
I couldn't help but laugh, even though he was still
angry when he's telling the story.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, I'm so mad. I can't even believe it. I
thought I raised them smarter than this.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Also, like you're gonna go mudding and you're worried about
getting mud on your clothes.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yes, come on, come on, come on.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Yes, I really want to go swimming, but I'm afraid
I might get wet, right right.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Like, well, we got these new sneakers, and.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
So they were pushing that, trying to push the everything
out their underwear.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
He's like he such idiots.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Oh and yes, why are you wearing all this new
clothes out to go?

Speaker 1 (28:08):
What is happening right now? He's like wow, it's like
ten o'clock at night.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
And he's like, oh, so, and then you said you
and a buddy who got the kids got stuck.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yes, so my buddy's son his friend got stuck, and
so my buddy's son goes to help him get unstuck.
And so now there's two trucks stuck, which is the
classic like yeah, that's I grew up at Clover, So
like we know about muddon muddy, but like, yeah, you

(28:38):
wear dirty clothes, yeah and you yeah you wait, you.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Don't do it when it's super muddy.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Right, unless you have the truck to do that. Yeah,
Like if you're driving one of those monster trucks, maybe
bring it out. But like this just was a regular
Like yeah, it's like it's like a Ford Ranger, Like
come on that.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yes, exactly right, exactly right? Are your kids idiots?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Man?

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Harris lives out today tej here with us and these
two people, Marley and Steve, had their nuptials in Idaho
and they sold one thousand dollars tickets to their fifty
thousand dollars wedding weekend extravaganza. They had two hundred and
seventy guest but some were strangers. Actually most were strangers

(29:25):
from the internet. Wo They say they they broke even
and then also raised one hundred and thirty two thousand
dollars for charity. Okay, she said she casually pitched idious
so like tickets to her wedding is a joke. She's
a twenty thousand Instagram followers or something like that. She said,
weddings are expensive and anything excess we were gonna have

(29:48):
we told them that we would donate to making some
schools in Africa or something. You know, I've thought about
it in the past that if you say I don't
have to bring a gift whatever it's a put one
hundred dollars cover charge or something. I don't know, I might. Yeah,
it depends on who it was.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
But it's like also its even I mean, you know,
if it's like a destination wedding, then that makes it better.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
And I'm not doing that to go to a wedding
in Idaho.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Right, they invited their combined Instagram and YouTube followers, there's
like one hundred thousand between them. They had a VIP
vouchers if you're a high roller for nine hundred and
ninety seven they round it up to a thousand. Right,
you could get the VIP, you got the rehearsal dinner,
wedding reception you're at the you got even romance counseling

(30:39):
sessions and a brunch and all this sort of thing.
They did some breathwork tutorials and you've got some other things.
But that was one thousand dollars for the VIP, and
then you could pay fifty seven dollars for admission to
the ceremony and reception one hundred bucks if be one
of the rehearsal dinner throwning, and hundred guests went for

(31:02):
the cheaper one and others went for the big one.
So they did pay for their wedding, which was like
fifty grand or something. Uh, and they raised money for
a cause. The cause is that's good, But wow, that
is a big ass somebody to to.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Get to go? Do I even want to go?

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Right?

Speaker 3 (31:22):
So sometimes I do want like the reception part, you know, yeah,
for sure a good party. Yeah, and I would pay,
you know, with somebody, I know whatever instead of giving
them one hundred bucks, I could give, right, but I
would do that to move the money around anyway.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, They've got to be close for me to do that.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
And even if you are giving them cash, it's just
a matter that you still are you're still paying for it,
I mean, because they can use that one hundred dollars
whatever they want, right right right, Because I usually get cash.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
I don't usually get, right president, that's smarter just you know,
or not cash. But you know what I mean, money
in some way.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
But I don't know if you can make that if
you had, like Wow, but people pay for a chair.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Get let's say, let's say I'm a really full band,
right yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
And so it's five hundred bucks for these seats at
a reception, right yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
And it's a charity, and you know, the the.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Charity aspect of it makes makes it all better, I feel.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Because in a real charity event, even though you're donating
and buying the tickets, they do pay for their expenses first,
right yeah, yeah, yeah, as they did in this wedding,
right right, So they're paying off their expenses first and
then the rest goes to charity. So it's kind of
like a charity event. But when you add that it's
my wedding, then it gets kind of weird, right, it
really does, even though it's not much different. No, it's

(32:36):
not different at all, really really, I mean, right, except
for the what you consider it classy or whatever, But
it's the same. Yeah, you're going to except for you
actually have a reason to celebrate versus just like you're
gathering just to gather money, right, So it's like a
celebration with an extra cause.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
So I can kind of oh but I'm kind of turning.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
I don't know, a thousand dollars a lot of money
to I don't know.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
If any, but you know they, I mean, everything's relative,
so they could make it.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
You can make it smaller or whatever.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Right, Yeah, but any the I say, older people, probably
anybody over fifty is definitely going.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
What's wrong with these people?

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Yeah, definitely is probably saying what's they wrong with them?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
And then you start kind of thinking about it.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Yeah, I mean I don't now if they were like, yeah,
all the excess is going to our honeymoon fund, then
I've got a big problem.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Big problem.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Yeah, but still it'd be hard to convince people. I
don't think people come into my web. I'd have to
have an amazing band and they're coming up with the
band after the wedding, right yeah, there I get paid,
right yeah, or something like that. Morning Mixed man Harris
Liz out Today producer TJ is here, and do you
want to go to all fifty States?

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah? Yeah, definitely not.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
I mean I would do it, but I'm not. It's
not high on my list. Thirty percent of Americans want
to visit all fifty states.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah you do. I definitely do.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
And the question is what does visit mean? That is
what the big argument becomes is it, Well, can we
agree I'll flyover? Definitely doesn't It definitely doesn't count. Okay.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Now, question is does a layover count?

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Fourteen percent for one and seven say setting foot on
the ground, even changing planes counts. So if you layover
and Charlotte counts as being in North Carolina, you've been
a Minneapolis, its councilmitted.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I think that's not enough. No, that's not enough.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Now, if you've got a longer layover and you can
like go have dinner in the town.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
You can leave the airport.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
You're saying, yes, okay, but I not just leave the airport.
I feel like you have to do something, okay in
the city. I don't order the town.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
Twenty one percent, say a minimum for you to say
you were at that in that state is some sight seeing.
It's a full trip, spending a night there is fifteen
percent driving through it. Twenty seven percent that's you were
still there. Yeah, that's a a little tougher one. Just
leaving the airport for a few hours. Okay, But if

(34:57):
you've got a few hours, yeah, you can do. You
can experience a city in a few hours. That's only
seven percent. Having a meal but not a meal at
the airport. I would guess, right, there's two percent they
flying over that's just read now that is crazy. Yeah,
you just can you fly around trip to from here
to Vegas or something. You just went to Kansas twice. Yeah, no,

(35:21):
not at all, No, no, no, but I don't have
a because some states are more interesting than others. And
the it's I think it's South Dakota, South Dakota. It
muight be North Dakota. That's always They have a thing
that that says I visited all fifty states right outside
of the airport.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, because that's like the only reason people go there.
Oh okay, that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Because I know people have got their picture taken to
go out there, and you can just take okay outside
the small airport. Because South Dakota people go because you
have Mount Rushmores in South Dakota, right, yeah, I think
that's right. Yeah, So there's no real reason to go
to North Dakota. I guess so they even a minute,
because you might even go to Hawaii or Alaska before. Right, Yeah,

(35:58):
it's not something there's a reason reason, right unless you
were somewhere around there and you went through it on
your way to Canada, and I don't know. They always
count themselves as the last one. Then you know there
are people that obviously we're a city, not a state,
but North Carolina. But when I firstly, when I first
moved her twenty five years ago, Charlotte was not like

(36:19):
people weren't familiar with Charlotte, right, And do you still
run into people that outside of North Carolina and say
Charlotte like a.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Kind of familiar they're kind of no, but they also
mix it up with Charleston, West Virginia and South Carolina. Yes, so,
but like they're like, we know kind of where it is, Yes,
it's in that part.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
I had somebody from Ohio text me.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
I forgot, yes, texted me yesterday and said, ask me
about this murder case.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
You know you'd be careful down there. And it was
in Myrtle Beach.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Oh Yeahst Carolina but not even close to Rtle Metia
but whatever. And so there was this comedian Dustin Nickerson
and I believe he was at the Comedy Zone here
and someone courted his little segment he did on Charlotte
and du he's not wrong.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
And I say this respectfully, Charlotte, I always forget that you're.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
A good city. You know exactly what I mean by that, right,
you are kind of the forgotten good city, not.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Just of the Carolinas, but of America.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
You're a You're a big city with like real sports
teams in a real airport.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
But no one ever mentions you.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
You're just.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
You get to Charlotte and you're like, oh, this is good.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
Yeah, yeah, do you remember what you liked about it?

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Not a clue, not a club. Charlotte is great, not memorable,
but it's and we love it. Yeah, we love it. No,
that's so accurate. Thanks for starting your day with The Morning, Miss.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
It's The Morning mixed with Matt Harris and Liz And now.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Here's your latest pop update.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
What is hitting the theaters this weekend? Freaky or Friday
seventy read from the critics and Rotten Tomatoes ninety four
from the audience.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Okay, that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Jamie Lee, Curtis, Lindsay Lohand return as Tessa and Anna
Coleman exchanged bodies with each other in the two thousand
and three Freaky Friddy movie, and this one, Anna is
about to get married to many. I think it's called Jacinto.
I think he's the last name he's from the good place,
but both of their daughters hate the idea. When the
body swap happens, Anna trades with her daughter Heather, and

(38:26):
Test becomes Annas soon to be stepdaughter Lily. Once they
have controlled the adult bodies, they try to break up
the wedding, et cetera, et cetera. Mark Harmon is in
it as Tessa's husband, and the sad thing is I
was trying to get a clip of that trailer, because
I know that's the more mainstream one, but I only
got one for the movie that I like, which is

(38:48):
this thing and TJ likes. But yeah, this is great.
It is getting amazing reviews in the nineties, I believe
the last time I checked up. Better check again. It's
called Weapons, and it is a scary horror kind of thing.
When one all but one child from the same classroom
mysteriously vanished in the same night, the town has left

(39:10):
questioning who was behind the disappearance. Ninety six percent from
the critics, Yeah that's why ninety six percent and brace
yourselves here is part of the trailer for Weapons.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
So this one Wednesday is like a normal day for
the whole school, but today was different. Every other class
had all their kids, but missus Gandy's room was totally empty.
And do you know why because the night before, at
two seventeen in the morning, every kid woke up, got

(39:45):
out of bed, walked downstairs and into the dark and
they never came back.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Wo man, is there voice always spooky?

Speaker 1 (39:57):
I don't know. I think so.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
I know that sometimes I'd be in bed and my
kids would walk in and they'd be just staring at me.
When he opened my eyes and that was freaking Yeah.
Julia Garner is in it, who is great. Josh Brolin
in it. He's great. And the reviews are amazing. Also
terrible reviews. So ifn't waste your time going to the
theater scene my mother's wedding, it was like fourteen percent
or something.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
It's a Scarlotte Johansson movie. It's terrible.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
On the streaming platforms on Netflix a Wednesday, as in
Wednesday Adams came out on Wednesday. Oh yes, she is
back at Nevermore Academy. It's a darker turn this season
two throws Wednesday Jenna or Tega into a whirlwind of
eerie visions, including one that hints at danger for her roommate.
Between unraveling of fresh supernatural mystery, wrestling with her unpricted

(40:43):
growth powers, and dealing with her meddling family. Wednesday's got
her Hands Full. This is all four episodes streaming now
on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
My kids like that Wednesday. I liked it too. Platonic
Season two is.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
An Apple TV Plus at seth Rogen and was burned
the first.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Even was like, Okay, King of the Hill is out.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
As we mentioned, how many of you watch, I'm probably
four or five in It's I'm really liking it.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Yeah, that's on Hulu and a Jurassic World rebirth hits
your video on demand, So there you go.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Kevin rub in the Morning, It's The Morning mixed with
Matt Harrison Liz Ludo.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
When the Animals Escape, Washington Post looked at well over
one hundred escapes of animals from zoo's I think starting
in the like nineteen ninety or something, Yeah, nineteen ninety,
and they put them in groups of animals. You know,
I think you wouldn't be surprised with the number one

(41:45):
category of animals that have escaped from zoos from zoo.
They do put in here zoo and a research lab.
So but it's primates. Oh, yeah, monkeys and apes executed
seventeen of the escapes. Oh wow, now that's seventeen escapes.

(42:06):
There could be more than one, and like the one
down in the Low Country in South Carolina, I.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Remember there was like fifty or something like that, so.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
They just count actual there could be more than one,
but seventeen primates escapes, it could be more than that
number of monkeys, et cetera. Next is felines sixteen escapes
from the felines, and then bovines which there are the
cows and zoos.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
They can't know, and maybe a petting zoo fifteen escapes.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Birds fourteen escapes.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
See that seems like the most likely to me, true
true truth. It'd be so hard to get them back
if they escaped.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Yeah, yeah, but I think a lot because I remember
puck with somebody in Disney, for instance, and they feed
them so well.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
The birds they want there, they want to be there.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
They're not gonna get them, but any y'all, so have
them stuck in their avi area or whatever. Thirteen of
the equine horses and donkeys, et cetera.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
A weird one.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
There's been eleven escapes of aquatic or semi aquatic mammals,
and I was thinking, how a fish or something, but
they say.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
That like an octopus.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
See, I really probably think that sea, lions, hippos, and
they even put a capa baras in there on a platypus. Oh,
so they've been eleven of those other small mammals. Eleven
That includes red panda, hyena, wolverine, honey badger, a bear

(43:41):
cat which is neither a bear nor a cat. And
let's see, oh the bovine category, not just cow's, buffalo, bison,
those sort of things in a ram who wow. And
then the reptiles eight escapes and again it could be
more in one of the animal eight escape situations camels

(44:02):
and llamas.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
What seven times?

Speaker 3 (44:05):
I do kind of vaguely remember, like searches and police,
you know, jokes about them trying to find lamas, and.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
I don't remember that canine.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
Seven of those other big mammals, which is bears, giraffs, elephant,
white rhino, Jezus escaped.

Speaker 4 (44:22):
Yeah, well, I mean the canine, what kind of canon
is it? Like a wolf or something?

Speaker 3 (44:26):
Maybe probably because you wouldn't have a dog, right, No,
it'as true.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Just kind of like are the zoo's beagles escaped. Yeah,
that is right, that's a good point.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Marsupials five and fishes three, which I don't really understand
that one.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Know, how does yeah, how does that one? Those fish
are dead?

Speaker 3 (44:44):
A twenty foot python The Morning Mixed Matt Harriss Lose
Out Today, TJ's producing, and a woman in La spotted
a twenty foot python hanging out on top of a dumpster.
Here's Teresa Sanchez talking about the encounter.

Speaker 6 (44:58):
You know, I was just driving and I saw something
that looked like a snake.

Speaker 7 (45:02):
And at first I thought it was maybe like a
stuffed animal, but I'm like, who would leave such a.

Speaker 6 (45:06):
Huge stuffed animal?

Speaker 7 (45:07):
And then as I got closer, it looked to realistic,
so I thought it was maybe taxidermy.

Speaker 6 (45:11):
And then it moved like it's am I in Florida.

Speaker 7 (45:15):
The first thing I called was animal control, but day
didn't pick up, so then I called the police and
they were just like, I'm sorry, we.

Speaker 6 (45:23):
Can't help you. These are not you know, the usual
things that you provide support with.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, wow, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Like who to like, she's trying right to try to
find somebody. They called the police did get a hold
of a guy called the Reptile Hunder and he went
