Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, mixed.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
All right, it is the twenty fourth and is what
am I doing? By Mark's main real estate?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
And it's Sagittarius season. Hello and welcome. Sorry Scorpios, you
gotta wait another year for your chance to shine. I'm
a big fan of Sagittarius. I think that they have
golden retriever energy. They're always down for adventure, travel, hanging
out with other people, lots of energy. The only downfall
is they are a little bit of a perfectionist sometimes,

(00:36):
but once they rise above that, they're the life of
a party and hard to hold down. So okay, real, real,
golden retriever energy. Yeah, I starting off strong with birthdays today.
Sarah Heiland is thirty five. Obviously she's done a lot
of stuff hosting different shows, but she is forever Hailey
Dumpy off of Modern Family.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
And here's some iconic moments.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I have to pick up garbage all day.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
And on the other hand, I'm like, look at me
in orange.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
You don't scare me.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
I've been in real jail.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Didn't my third grade teacher say I had like eighty
d or something.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I barely got ten hours of sleep last night.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
I hope this doesn't sound conceited, but everyone wants me.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
She's a great character.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
I love her, and she's great on Broadway. Now I
guess she's in Broadway.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
All the last few years she just mounts them from Broadway.
She had a Broadway show.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, she did that remake of Dirty Dancing.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
They did that one year and she was really great
and she played the sister and she's she's just fabulous.
Also celebrating today is Catherine Heigel, who is forty seven.
I love Grey's Anatomy. It's one of those things. Has
it gone on too long? Yes, but she was one
of the strongest characters right out of the gate, had
so much potential, and this was like her first big scene.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
You want to call me doctor model, that's fine, just
remember that while you're sitting on two hundred grand student ones.

Speaker 6 (01:58):
I'm not dad.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah, that's right, color doctor model, because you know she's
so good looking, but she can still be a doctor.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I I know, I get called it all the time.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Nobody has ever told.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Me a doctor or a model, but I feel like
either one of them would be Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I'll take my day have before model a few times.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Right, Well, I'm usually just a disappointing before and after all, right,
and then Pete Best is eighty four. If that name
doesn't sound immediately familiar, that's the original drummer from the
Beatles before Ringo Star Game in Yeah, so uh, happy
eighty fourth birthday.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
My favorite best story is that he put out a
record at some point called the Best of the Beatles
and it was Pete Best of the Beatles. Yeah, yeah,
and it's probably made a ton of money off that record.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
And then in twenty one, four years ago today Incanto
was released and we've all had this stuck in our
heads ever since.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
Doctor.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
And then lastly, how.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Many years ago was it?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Four?

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Doesn't it feel so long?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
It really does like a decade ago.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Why has so much life happened in such a short
amount of time? What is going on anyways? And then
today's got a really lame national holiday. It's National Sardine Day.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh that is terrible.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Enjoy some sardines in the morning.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
It's the Morning mixed with Matt Harrison, Liz Luda.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Happy Monday. Short week for a lot of people. How
are you, Luda? And that's a Turkey and how are you?

Speaker 6 (03:38):
It went great?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, the Turkey time is just about here.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, or you start salivating a little bit. Oh, yes,
every time I think about that deep turkey. Oh are
you the are you in charge at your place?

Speaker 6 (03:52):
I'm number two in charge, number two in charge.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, look at you.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
This is the time of year where they do these
things on TV where they show how the grease.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Starts this giant fire.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
Oh yes, I love watching those videos.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
But I do too, I do not.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
I do not love watching those watching those videos.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I mean it's it's a demonstration.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
So it's like, you know, they lower it in and
they have like a big explosion, and make.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Sure your turkey is thawed. Yeah, that's the most important thing.
Turkey in that grease is a nightmare.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
And also fill it up with water first. Then put
the turkey in, because you'll show how much it.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
Yeah, how much.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Then take a turkey so then you'll know how much
oil to put in without overflowing.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Right yeah, yeah, right, I've never did tried a turkey
in my life.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
So yeah, it's it's a it's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
And I'm gonna go ahead and confess I don't think
I'm even having turkey this week. Oh that's like a
wet am I know, we got a ham.

Speaker 6 (04:52):
Okay, that's a good second choice.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, yeah, And it depends on the size of the group.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
The only reason I've ever made turkeys before is I
used to live by a grocery store that did a
promotion for them, and I was just because I like cheap,
you know what I mean. But now that that's out.

Speaker 6 (05:09):
Of it, I'm like, I'm getting a ham.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
We to get the turkeys that are now you get
them that are cooked basically right and seasoned and.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Everything else, and so you don't have to worry worry
about that.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
But just doing ham, it's basically just reheating it. It's
already cooked. Do you just throw some brown sugar on it?
Doesn't take a lot of culinary Yeah, all I can bring.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
To the table. Yeah, candidly that game.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
The lines are crazy at the Honey Baked Ham store
the last time of year usually nuts. But yeah, we're
getting there, and the people who do all the work
are like, the other people are like, can't wait to eat? Right, Yeah,
two different vantage points of what is about to happen.
But as I said a minute ago, should be dry

(05:53):
on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
We might have rained tomorrow, hopefully not your turkey though, or.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Any other things on your body.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
That you don't want anything dry on your on your
Thanksgiving table, right, right, of course, that's why there's gravy.
This is twenty eight year old North Carolina woman Melissa
Schlarb was driving from her home near Robinsonville to her
job as a bank teller in Cherokee on US seventy four.

(06:23):
She sees a bald eagle and the bald eagle dropped
something on her windshield.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
And this is the nine to one one call.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
Thank nine one one.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Okay, you may not.

Speaker 8 (06:34):
Believe me, but I just kind of boughted eagle drop
a cat through my windshield.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh, shattered my windshield? I believe you, honestly.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Oh my goodness, I've hurt crazier.

Speaker 8 (06:45):
What well, that's the right, yeah wow.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
And she says that that's be crazier, and the other
woman's like, well, that's terrifying, right.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
How much worse does this skip?

Speaker 3 (06:56):
But we've heard about the one where the bald eagle
dropped like a snake on a lady. Right, Oh, so
I feel like they're just up there waiting to drop
things on us.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Well, this is her description of what went down.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
I drive that road every single morning.

Speaker 8 (07:10):
I did see the bald eagle coming from a distance,
and I'm not used to seeing them there, so I'm like, wow,
that's amazing. I realized it had something with it. Once
I realized it was a cat. It barely had a
hold on it, and it dropped it right on my windshield.
It sounded like a bomb went off. There's glass everywhere.
Of course, insurance is a battle, so I'm trying to
get them to help me out. She's like, we never
hear stories like this. You're going to be the talk

(07:32):
of my entire division for quite a while.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh wow. Don can you imagine having you call your
boss because she said she was on her way to
work to be like, hey, I'm going to be late.
An eagle dropped a cat through my Sure, sure it
sounds like a ridiculous lie.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
But okay, and how scary. Right your wingshield smashes while
you're driving.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
Right, Like, oh god?

Speaker 2 (07:53):
And yeah, oh so you make sure you get in
the news that way people believe you. Right, Yeah, to
call everybody, right, because otherwise you're like, oh yeah, right.
So now you keep this story on your phone anytime
you tell this less that's true, look right, Yeah, that
is I've heard about like deer jumping through and things

(08:13):
like that. Just something falls.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
In the sky.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, that could be your icebreaker though, whenever somebody's like,
tell us your interesting fact, like you're ready to go
every time now for the rest of your life.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Well, and the fact that she did see it beforehand
is a little lucky because just imagine if you're just
driving along and then all of a sudden something falls,
you know what I mean, Like.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
You couldn't try to figure out your head, will happen?

Speaker 6 (08:38):
What just happened?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah? How did that happen? Figs for starting your day
with The Morning Miss It's.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
The Morning mixed with Matt Harrison Liz Loud.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
You know, here's your latest pop updates. Mark's main in
real estate, Ray Ramondo stole the couch from the set
of Everybody Loves Raymond. So tonight they're doing a thirtieth
anniversary special. It airs at eight pm on CBS, and
they wanted to rebuild the set of Everybody Loves Raymond
for the special, but in order to do it, they
had to ask Ray Romano to bring back the couch,

(09:07):
the floral couch to be specific, and he said, that's
the first thing I took. That's the only thing I
wanted to take was the couch. And it's in my
home theater. I hate saying I have a home theater,
but yeah, it's in the theater. And he said, not
too many people sit on it though, because it's not
that big.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
And then he already has twelve theater seats in the room.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
So yeah, it's just there there, but there is a monument. Yeah,
it's like Phillies veteran stadium seats, but don't sit in
them a lot, right, you know, if you have something
like that, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
My parents have some from the Olympic Stadium in Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
Oh yeah, from when it was down there.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah. Yeah, it's a cool thing just to have.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
And Lenny Kravitz likes to go out in the crowd
when he's singing Let Love Rule. He was in Brisbane, Australia.
He paid the price, he says, quote a very excited
young lady pulled four dreadlocks out of the back.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Of my head.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Oh you know how hard you got to pull to
rip those out of my head?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
He says, damn baby. But I'm not saying.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
He says, I'm not gonna stop coming out there for
Let Love Rule, because that's what we do, that's our
moment together. Uh the clothes, I could say this will
date me Millie Vanilli.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
I saw.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yes and their Dread spell out on stage and really
threw them into the crowd and people just started going
crazy to try to get hold of those dreads.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
They're fighting. It was it was nuts. It was great.
It was a great moment.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, okay, that's yeah, Well you're looking at me like that.
I don't know. It just sounds so painful, the getting
four of them.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Ripped out of his head.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
All I can think about is like, ow, yeah, sorry,
I'm focused on that. Also in pop, Donald Glover had
a stroke during his twenty twenty four tour. So he
had like a big tour that was going on and
he randomly canceled in the middle, refunded people money, and
nobody really knew what happened. He said it was for
health reasons. Well he's come out now and he said

(11:01):
he had a stroke. He was performing in New Orleans.
He ended up having like a headache and head pain,
blurred vision. He ended up going to the hospital and
they were like, you've had a stroke. And then he
made a joke that he's like, oh here, I am
copying Jamie Fox again. And then he said while he
was there though, and they were trying to take care
of the stroke, they found out he had a broken

(11:21):
foot and a hole in his heart that then required
two surgeries, and so basically said it was a longer
recovery than they had anticipated. But he gave like a
like a meaningful quote at the end and basically said,
everybody always says they have two lives, and the second
life starts when you realize that you only have one life.

(11:42):
The realization are like, oh I am mortal, okay, and
that's the start of your second life. Is recognizing this
this only happens once.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Maybe you don't know me.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
We made and recognized the name from community and from
Atlanta at the show Atlanta right.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, And he's Childish Gambino, which everywhere that's been posting
Donald Glover had a stroke. The comments section is like,
he looks just like Childish Gambino.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
It's because they're the same person.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
He also did Mister and Missus Smith the show on
Apple Yeah Wicked for Good open to a record smashing
one hundred and fifty million in the US, even better
than Part one.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
What how about a Little Song?

Speaker 3 (12:25):
There's no.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Biggest debut ever for a Broadway adaptation and the third
best among any a musical out of the other two
twenty nineteens The Lion King twenty seventeens, beating the Beast.
It is the fourth and best global opening of the
year behind Leelo and Stitch, Jurassic Park Rebirth, Minecraft Movie.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
So it done good?

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, and it's gidding so like it had like some
mixed reviews before even though it was doing well. I've
seen a lot of positives since it came out of
like people I personally know going to see it.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, the I mean that act is not considered as
good as the first act. Yeah, but that doesn't mean
you only do so much with the work that you're
with the you know, with what you've got right the
book is you know, see what is the latest?

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
We get for good seventy percent by the critics, but
ninety percent by the audience.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
Yeah, the people like it.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, yep.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
It's The Morning Mixed with Matt Harris and Liz Luda
every Monday.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
This time we bring you a Dilemma seven oh four
or five seven oh one of seven nine seven four
or five seven oh one of seven nine.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Men, Liz, am, I the problem for saying my in
laws can sleep on the couch. They are coming to
town for Thanksgiving and rather than get a hotel, they
have decided to crash at our house. We have a
three bedroom house and two kids, so there are no
extra bedrooms for guests. I said, I will make up
the couches in the living room. My mother in law
was appalled, as was my husband, that I didn't offer

(14:11):
up our kids rooms. I said, those are our kids
rooms and their spaces.

Speaker 6 (14:15):
Am I the problem?

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:19):
The kids, the kids. Kids, they're kids. Kids can sleep
on a bet of nails. They're right fine, ye sleep
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (14:26):
I think it depends on the kid.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
My kid is so set in his routine that whenever
we try to put him somewhere else, like he can't
do sleepovers. He can't say the night anywhere because he
has to be in his bed to fall asleep. Put
him in your bed, but he won't even sleep in
my bed.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
My kids, but my kids like love to, you know,
put a They get to sleep in front of TV,
in the playroom or the whatever room.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Or the living room. It's great, it's fun, right, mattress.
I didn't need to go that far.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
But this situation just depends on the kids, because you
don't want an overtired child. The next day they're just
going to be having meltdowns and yelling and mean.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah, okay, there's a few rare exceptions, but that's the
way you can't put And I assume that it's a
mother and father in law and they've got kids, so
I don't know, I'm guessing they're at least in their
sixties or something. Uh, you know, put them on the couch.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
Right, Yeah, No, that's not the move.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Plus, it's the job as a kid to you know,
make make room basically, yeah, make like, oh you're the
low man on the totem pole. You know you got
to sleep on the couch to night kid.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah yeah, yeah, because and they should love it.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Sometimes they love it because it's something different. It's like
a sleepover, make a little fort or something.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Do whatever you gotta do.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
But you know, I I mean, when I was a kid,
I had to give up my bedroom for my grandparents.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
But in hindsight, I think they would have.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Preferred the couches because I had bunk ryllas and one
of them. I feel like the latter climbing must have
been way worse than a couch would have been.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
That would be fun for the grandparents.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
But yeah, but yeah, but then at that point you're like, no,
I just I'll just you just tell them where you
want to sleep.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
And then an air mattress for grandma and grandpa. That's
even worse because like again, up and down off the floor.
And maybe it's because I'm too hefty, all right, Maybe
there's not a single air mattress I've ever stayed the
night on that I haven't woke up and it's been deflated.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
Yeah, that's pretty common.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
I feel like I feel like they work the ones
I have heard pretty well.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
But I don't put the grandparents and put the kids
on their grandparents get the bed right.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, And now the.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Situation might be they might have only a you know,
a single so grand and grandpa might not want to
be that tight with each other.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, that is the thing. But I've given up. I'm
my actual bed. Before I think I.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Would give up my bed, before i'd.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Make my kid give up.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
But then I went to the kids bed, and the
kids were out.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Oh right, yeah, you know, I would be honest.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
I love sleeping on the couch. I think it's a
good It's a nice break on your.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Back, you know what I mean, if you have a
nice cout.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, it bends on the couch, right, because sometimes it's
a little blumpy or whatever. But I'm not putting I'm
not putting the grandparents on the couch.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Aunts, uncles, yeah, things like that. And uncles are fine.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Yeah, but I'm a terrible person. I put my mom
on the couch.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Morning makes Matt and Lee's got lunacy coming up. We
went to tease that for a second.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Oh yeah, absolutely, trying to explain to the youth what
it was like in the before technology times.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
But we're going to go back a little bit because
this was our am I the problem question.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Her in laws are coming for Thanksgiving and grandma and
grandpa are upset that they're sleeping on the couches when
they thought the kids should have to give up their bedrooms.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Man, we got a call. Who's this good morning? This
is Tanika. You have an opinion on this? I do.
I wanted to say two things I wanted to say. First,
I think it depends on the age of the kids.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
And then two, I want to point out that you
say that the wife says that the parents invited themselves.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
That's what happens when you invise yourself, you don't go
to bed.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Right.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
They chose to invite the Stills.

Speaker 7 (17:52):
It wasn't like we invited by in laws on the holidays.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
She said, they chose not sales.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
It thats why they invited them fails.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, but I don't think she's.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
So when you say it matters about the age, what
younger gets or older gets kicked out of their beds
if there if they're.

Speaker 8 (18:11):
Teenagers to yes, give up the bids as a grandparents.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
But if they're younger, though, maybe Grandpa wants to sleep
in a race car bed.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Routine is so important when they're so young.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
You know, Well, I mean they invited themselves, but I
would invite. I mean, maybe they wouldn't get a hotel.
But that's weird that they that was even an option.
Usually when some of.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
My parents come to visit me, either staying with me
right exactly.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yeah, I would make that assumption as well, but I
would still make them sleep on the couch.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, all right, enough, thank you for the call.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
For ship. Well, the thing is usually if you're inviting
someone to your house, you.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
So it doesn't sound like they true.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
It's a good point. So I think there's a lot
of problems going on in his family.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yes, I think the husband should handle it. It's his parents.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Anyways, Well, he's trying to He said he wanted them
to bed. Do you want someone to Yeah, that's right better.
Thank you for the call, appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
The Morning Mixed Matt Harris, The Quirky, Quirky Liz Luda
looks at things on social media so you don't.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Have to, and it is people trying to explain before
this technology to the youth.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
And you don't even have to be that old.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
You could just be thirty years old and you're gonna
feel ancient.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Because there's a video I encountered.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
It was put up by at Josh Johnson Comedy and
he's talking about how he had an interaction with somebody
trying to explain that if you didn't know something before,
Google wasn't an option, and that he felt crazy as
he was trying to describe this whole book thing called
the encyclopedia, and people would like update them and get
new ones but they were very expensive, and that if

(19:40):
you were watching a movie and you just didn't know
who that actor was, even if they looked familiar, you
just didn't get to know. And that's what it used
to be like. And so the comment section is just
filled with other people that are like, I'm a millennial
and you should have seen this conversation. And one of
them is this this lady who said she is a
teacher and she had to explain to her middle schoolers

(20:02):
that taking a picture, how different it is now because
we didn't used to know what it looks like. So
you'd only get twenty six or twenty eight images, depending
on the roll, and then you'd have to like go
drop it off somewhere to get it developed. That it'd
be an expensive thing and sometimes you get your pictures
back and they wouldn't even be good, right, And that
all the kids were like what because like the only

(20:26):
I mean, they've got their phones. It's not even digital
cameras anymore. You can take things over and over again.
And then some of the other ones were talking about
how crazy.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
They felt when they had to explain to their kids
that they.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Used to print off this thing called map quest or
use a paper map and they would just like tape
it to their rear view mirror to try to look
and see where their turn was coming. And they really
had to use the odometer to figure out, okay, three
tenths of a mile go right, Like we're so we're
so spoiled.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
I saw a video the other day of it was
the these people in these kids in Germany. It was
the first time they'd ever seen a camera, like a
movie camera. Oh, and so just thought about and they
were like going crazy, like trying to figure out.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah. And then try to talk to.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Them now and say, here's what I watched that video
on this little device that I hold in my Yeah,
because it was so freaky to them, the moving picture.
And then now try to explain you know now mutching
it on you know, something I hold in.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
My hand, right. Yeah, we've blown that technology out of
the water. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
And there's so much stuff. Other people were talking about,
explaining card catalogs and the Dewey decimal system, like you
didn't just know if a book was there, you had
to go and look it up to try to figure
it out.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Burning CDs, apparently, that is a term that just blows
some of these kids' minds and then using the phrase
before Netflix, we had to owe DV. Oh.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
As far as the music is concerned, just not having
unlimited music is beyond them, right, yeah, have unlimited any
song they ever want is it's on.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
The radio mix one seven nine. Yeah, absolutely, it's always been.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
It always always be mixed one of seven nine exactly right.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
But payphones, pagers, the idea that somebody would call your pager,
then you would find a payphone to call them back.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
I mean that sounds interest to me, the pager does,
because that was even before me.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
And then when you have to explain to a kid
like I'm actually I did this with my son. I'm
actually older than YouTube and they're like what And you're like, yeah,
I was in high school when that came, right, and.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
They're like, whoa, I told you.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
My cousin told her kids about It was still like
a story about a payphone, and uh, they didn't think
that you could receive a call.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
You could only make a call.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
And right, yeah, they're like, so someone would call you
and they didn't get that, Like they understood a payphone,
but for some reason they couldn't get it through their
heads that you could receive one there and I don't
know what.

Speaker 6 (22:58):
I get that too.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
I get that too.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, yeah, Why do you have to go and learn
the number and then use that number to give to
someone and then just stand there?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:08):
I mean, but would you think it's just a phone
so you can receive any call?

Speaker 6 (23:11):
But I guess how would you know the number?

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Though?

Speaker 5 (23:14):
I guess for a long time, like I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
The phone?

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah oh yeah, just like write it on a post
it and put it in your pocket.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Or you call and leave a message, call me, I'm
standing by the payphone. Oh, or like think about shows
where there's like a kidnapping or something. Yeah, those where
somebody goes think about that the phone rings and.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
They're like, are now go to blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, okay, yeah, ok, that makes more sense. I thought
you meant they were like listing it on like job applications,
and I'm like that a lot of.

Speaker 6 (23:47):
Weighted Good morning.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Next, Matt Harris, Liz Luda, your kid's a birthday coming up.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yes, I'm so excited.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
He's another year older.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
That's amazing. But I'm super stressed. I didn't sleep last night.
Maybe like an hour and forty minutes when you time
everything and push it together, because I don't know what
to do. So he is about to turn nine years old.
He has a December birthday, which is complicated because of
the holidays. A lot of people don't have availability the way,

(24:17):
like his school dynamic is this year. Whatever he told me,
and I've been trying since September, Hey, buddy, do you
want to have a birthday party this year?

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Let's go ahead and plan it.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Because I'm one of those people who likes to book
things ahead of time. Oh yeah, just have it already
done and have it paid for that way, especially because
it's a December birthday that's like the most expensive month, right,
oh yeah. And so he kept being like, no, I
don't want to have a birthday party. Birthday parties are embarrassing.
I don't want to hand out imitations. I don't want
people looking at me. And so I was respecting him

(24:48):
with that, but I kept kind of like randomly bringing
it up, like are you sure? Are you sure? And
so we kind of decided, well, we'll just do like
a family day.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
But then the last couple of weeks he's been kind
of weird. Whenever we say that, He's like, I don't know,
and I'm like, you wanted to just be a regular day,
Like I don't I don't know what I don't know means.
And so he came to me on Saturday and he said, Mommy,
I would like to have a birthday party, and I
would like to invite my entire class, which would be fine,
except I don't have invitations a place.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
And well, you can still got two weeks or whatever, less.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Than two weeks, less than two weeks going into Thanksgiving week.
You really think people at the last minute are going
to be last time. Yeah, but you're still not going
to get it's a gamble with the birthday party anyways,
just to get half of them to show up.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
So I was like, all right, I'm going to invite
the whole class at I don't well.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Then I don't want to have to the idea if
he invites everybody and then no one shows up, which
wouldn't be of his fall.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
It would be because.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
It's like the busiest time of the year.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, and if he takes invitations to school before Thanksgiving,
the kids whatever. So we come to the conclusion we're
going to have my son, my nephew, and then one
of our friends came who's like the same age, and we'll.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Do something together.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Perfect.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
And so the activity my child shows is like the
most expensive activities. So now I'm trying to talk him
down from that. I don't know what to do with him.
I don't know where to go. I wish it was
like not a December birthday. We could just go to
the playground and get one of those little pavilions, like
that's that's my jam.

Speaker 6 (26:19):
That's what I grew up with.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
But it could be rainy, cold, snow, who knows.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
And then like all these places for three kids and
then these other places because it's not big enough to
like reserve it as a party. You can't bring outside food.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Or cake or someone.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
What do we do? Just tailgate in the parking lot,
like open the back of the car and just have
candles and the cake there and sit there and enjoy
pizza and cake there like.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, yeah, or you or yeah, or have cupcakes or something.
But you don't have to worry about that. You can
do that as a separate just the family thing.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
I've done that.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Where just the the kids do the jump house or whatever.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
It is at the place, and then.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
You know, I don't want to disappoint him.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I just don't taking it.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
I'm so stressed about this because thinking it, I thought
we had figured out.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
You know, you still care After a while, you'll tell
you like whatever, let's get.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Right, Yeah, ten years, you won't remember if you had
a party or not.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
Five two years, yeah you're remember.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
You don't remember. He won't remember it, being like what
a disappointment or whatever.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
I mean, it's just if you like forgot his birthday,
you remember like that, but you're gonna forget. But if
it's just like a birthday you celebrated him you did,
it's probably just gonna be like, oh okay, and that's
gonna get logged into the I don't know the.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
General knowledge of memory, you know, just like.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Today we got some I got three presents for presidents whatever.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
I'm just stressed because, like you were, you're over analyzing it.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
I like to have everything done in advance, Like I
already paid for the spirit rock to be painted for
the two days.

Speaker 6 (27:55):
That may be enough for him to remember, you.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Know what I mean, Like, yeah, remember that I've told
you about memory.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
I don't like your views memory it's not very good.
You you're overthinking it and you're thinking about uh not
like keeping up with the Jones. But you there's a
certain expectation you have of it.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
It's got to be this event and then there's gotta
be cake and there's gotta but that's everybody makes their
own thing.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
I just want the magical. I just want magical memories, Matt.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
That's all it is. I just don't want them to
wake up and be like, oh, make.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Them they just happen, that's right, and wake up and
oh yeah, I'm sure I'll probably kill you in your
sleep since you didn't give me the perfect eight year
old birthday.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Right, Yeah, well thanks for that, Matt.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Morning makes Matt Harris, Liz Luda, and producer TJ And
this TikToker has gone crazy viral because she is speaking
for the millennial women who are single, about the millennial
women who are married. And one of the things is
not one friend celebrated me. She says that may worried

(29:00):
women are self centered.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
He says he's fast rep parties.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Weddings, gender reveal babies. It's exhausting, and no one is
celebrating me because I don't have those things. Oh yeah,
she's a shanty. Thirty six year old advocate for single
women argue that married women often expect unwavering support show
up for weddings, baby showers, children's milestones, but rarely invest

(29:27):
the same energy into their single friends achievements. She says,
rarely have every to married women really allegate time and
investment to their single friends life events, whether it's promotion, career, move,
moving home, traveling, whatever, any other achievement that isn't related
to a man or procreation.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
So I mean, okay, I think the solution to this
is maybe you have to just start sending out invitations
and the mail like, hello, I would like you to
celebrate my promotion that I got or something like that,
because yeah, how would you know everything else involves an
invitation that you just mentioned, Like I would know because
you're like.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
Oh, and if you're married and you have kids, like
your schedule is full, like you've got between kids and stuff,
like you've got a lot going on.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
I think we would find it weird if you said
that I'm having a party to celebrate my promotion or
you know, a digit would find it weird, but it'd
be more unofficial.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
I guess, so just be like, hey, let's go out
blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Right, there has to be some kind of plan though
for sure you can't just be like like a single
people will be like, yeah, let's do it today, And yes,
you can't always do that when you're.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Having on to discuss how single women can act as
surrogate boyfriends and quasi therapists to women and emotionally in
filled relationships, but self centered married women too busy to
offer emotional support in return.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
They're probably self centered before they got married, honestly, but
they were all so busy.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Someone says, you know, they expect the single people just
to drop everything and show up for them when you're like, hey,
I got a free night, I get to go out
and expect from the show up like we don't have
anything to do, because right, single you probably don't. As
I have a lot less now that I'm not a
relationship with the.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Kids are at college.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, a lot more chances, right, and she all she
goes on to say, what this is a different woman
says single women. As single women, we're not allowed to
be tired because if we say we're tired of like,
well you don't understand what tired is because we have kids.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
It's not a competition. Yeah, but I've seen that happen.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Oh no, absolutely, to which the always say, oh okay.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, you could be tired, and
then you could be tired too.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
There's we're all running a little raging right now.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
So and I get it. I mean I get it
to a point. I'm not but I don't. I'm not
upset about it, but I understand that as a single
person I'm probably invited to a lot less things than
I was when I was married, defe And you know that, like,
and I'm not even I'm not even complaining about it,
but you know, well.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
I'll tell you, as the married person in the room,
I probably get invited to even less.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Well compared to when I was married.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
Donald, Yeah, you know, right, right right.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
But that's just life.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
I mean it just I don't really I don't expect
to be I don't even care about.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
It as a single person too, like working two jobs,
like my time is full.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
Yeah, so like I can't do.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
Like I'll have married friends with kids that will message
me on a Friday night at like six o'clock and
it's like hey, let's hang out now.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
Yeah, And I'm like.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
But no, I've already made plans for you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
That our thing is mad and you bring the kid.
That's one thing though, if you have a single friend
and they're like, you don't show up for me, and
you're like, well, you told me no kids allowed, and
I can't move that quickly to get my child's care covered.
Like That's a huge part of it too, is making
sure you give enough time to accommodate for things right.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Right. But this is not the first time I heard
about this.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
I saw somebody on Facebook that I knew was like
a woman she got I got divorced and no one
invites me anything, and it like quit your whine, and yeah,
I feel like, you know, then invite other people. You
invite them, right, That's what I feel like. Whatever, what
do you guys think? The single people left in the
dust in the morning.

Speaker 7 (33:15):
It's the Morning mixed with Matt Harrison, Liz Ludam.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yes, it was the Southern Christmas Show on Friday.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
You were so excited.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
I was, and I had so much fun. And I
made a specialty sweater just for the occasion, and I
made it and it looked really well.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
It really did. I was just heared to make fun
of it, but it looked great.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Listen. By the end of the night, I was leaving
a trail of tinsel and it didn't quite as well.
But I did this thing I saw on TikTok where
you take tinsel and you you basically hot glue gun
it to a long sleeved shirt, and I wrapped the
green tinsel with pink tinsel because I used one of
our mixed one O seven nine shirts. And then I
hung blue.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Ornaments on it.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
And you put your hands up in the air like
you don't care, and when you do that, you make
like a circle or an oh around your body, and
then it looks like a wreath. And I started the
night off with it really looking like a wreath. But
as I started to lose tinsel from the ends more
and more you saw my hands that or I was
just getting tired too much heavy lifting or whatever. But
I got so many compliments. And I put lights inside

(34:20):
of it too, that had a battery pack. I didn't
plan ahead though, because I glued it upside down, so
I can't actually ever change the batteries.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
Oh no, because of the way.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
It's glued to the shirt, so like now they're just
decorative lights, but they don't turn on.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
There's got to be a way. There's got to be
a way we'll put just put another thing of lights
around it.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
That's what I'll do. The other ones will just be
on line.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yes, but there's pictures on mix.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
There's tons of pictures mixed one seven nine on our
Instagram and on our Facebook. If you're one of the
people I met, thank you so much for coming over
and talking. And it was just a really great, holly
jolly time to get you into the Christmas mood and spirit,
and there were all sorts of great.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
It was just a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Liz loot is also a personal thing. And how much
did you buy?

Speaker 4 (35:06):
I didn't buy too much.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Okay, I had it.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
I kept it in check.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
But something that's really bizarre to me is like I
grew up here in Stanley County, and I there are
people because I moved away for so long that I
literally haven't seen in ages. I had one girl come
up to me who I'm Facebook friends with, who I
went to elementary school with, and I don't think i've
seen her.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
In twenty five years.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Wow, and she was like hi, and I was like
I immediately who she was and I was like hello,
and then I was like, that's a bizarre moment, right, Like,
I mean, a great moment, but not unexpected, right. And
then two more people that I was in high school
band with at wes Stanley High School they came over
and I was like, Oh my gosh, hello, how are you?
And it was just really nice to like see people

(35:52):
I hadn't seen in so long and I don't know
to know that people like support me well you know
what I mean.

Speaker 5 (35:59):
Yeah, we let people know that you were going to
be there, so they had to have known you were
going to be there and showed up to see you.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
How about that.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
As opposed to normal when they're like, oh, Liz is
going to be there, let's not go yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
We'll tine kind of thing is is like, I get
so socially awkward. Even if I had known somebody who
was like there, I would have been like, let's.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Go out the other exit.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
I don't I don't want to make you don't know
what I mean, So that they like shows that.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
I was like, oh, hello, hello, Yeah, that's cool, that's
super cool.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
I saw people of these women do.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
And I didn't see part two, but part one of
they were going into the Southern Christmas Show on TikTok
or Instagram or something, and they were all predicting how
many they buying, how much some money they would suspect
I usually seem people.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah, a lot of people were doing that.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yeah, I don't know how it ended up, but I'm
sure it was a lot more than they had anticipated.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
It got very intense, and I did make some friends
with some ladies that were very appreciative of the wine station.

Speaker 6 (36:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Morning Man ex Man Harrison, Lizalda and Poul asked, it's
your favorite party on Thanksgiving?

Speaker 1 (37:00):
And what do you think? Thirty percent said.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
I, you know, I want to say pumpkin pie, but
my gut is saying sweet potato has had this resurgence lately,
so I'm going sweet potato pie.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
I'm gonna go my favorite is sweet potato, but I
think it's gonna be pumpkin.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
It is pumpkin, yeah, thirty percent pumpkin, all right, twenty
percent apple okay, fifteen percent pecancan. Oh yeah, that's a
good nine percent sweet potato okay.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
But if you you know you look into the ages.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Pumpkin and pecan heavily boasted by older generations, the boomers,
the gen Xes, but the younger folk more likely to
go apple and chocolate.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Oh okay, pie, that sounds nice.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Well, thirty to eighteen to twenty nine year olds, apple's
won pumpkin.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
And then chocolate, okay, which I don't even know. Thirty
to forty four, it's pumpkin, apple, pecan.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
And then so it changes you get older. Ten percent
of gen z or say they don't want pie.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
And Thanksgiving, Oh, get out of here for water salad,
because it's we're.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Always pushing that water gate thing.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
It's solicious.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Pumpkins number one in California, New York, North Coat blah bla,
blah blah. But as far as the Carolinas are concerned,
it is, uh, where my map go, it's.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Probably apple, right, because we got all those good apples
in the mountains here.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Oh that's a good it is, No, it's it's it's
it's uh.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Rosy computer saying technology technology over here. I don't know
any kind of pie you can talk about. I can
talk about all day.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Well, this is like uniquely searched pies the past thirty days.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
So it is buttermilk pie in North Carolina. I don't
even know what that is.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Oh, it's kind of like a chest pie.

Speaker 6 (38:50):
I don't know what that is either.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Oh my gosh, you all need to eat more.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Sweet potato pie in South Carolina. But there's a grape
pie in uh Arizona.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
I'm into that.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
What is that you think?

Speaker 6 (39:05):
I don't know. I want to try it, though, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
I feel about a cooked grape but I feel like
I like greape flavored things. I've never had grape pie,
but just pie. I will introduce you just or buttermilk.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Like the yeah, buttermilk, and is it? Is it?

Speaker 4 (39:24):
It's just like sweet and custardy, almost like.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
A like a banana pie.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
It's firmer, it's firm, like a potato pie, but it's
like creamy.

Speaker 6 (39:35):
I feel like I have.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
If you go to the cafeterias, you gotta hang out
where the elderly are, because.

Speaker 4 (39:40):
That's where I am.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
There. We go see how it's like firm. I want
kind of like a custard almost, but.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
It's it's almost like custard.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah, and it's it's it really, it's good.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
It's really good.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
The South favorite is pumpkin, then pecan, and then apple
and then sweet potato.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Wow, chocolate.

Speaker 6 (39:56):
I can't believe sweet potato is so low.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Well yeah, I mean well, and let you know, White
people pumpkins won thirty percent, apple, pecan.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
I don't like pecan.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Black people thirty five percent sweet potato, followed by apple
and pumpkin.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
And Hispanic go for pumpkin, apple or pecan.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
They don't like the sweet potato either. About that little
thing here, Yeah, you.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Would have thought you were betting that the South would
go pure sweet potato.

Speaker 6 (40:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
Did you see it everywhere?

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Now?

Speaker 3 (40:28):
I mean obviously like the pumpkin pies though, like if
you go to Costco, Sam's anywhere, those are out in
the full forest.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Right, it's still a percent fourth place.

Speaker 5 (40:36):
I just want to thank Patty LaBelle again for making
those delicious, delicious.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Pies, even her little BlackBerry crumble one.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
She has morning mixed man, Harris Liz Luda has shame.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
I'm not proud of what happened, but yeah, it's Thanksgiving week,
you know, the temptation is there. And I ate an
entire pan of green bean casserole yesterday.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
I'm oh, you made it though the thing? Yeah, so
like I already.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
No, no, no. So Saturday I went grocery shopping and
got everything I needed for the week, right, And so
yesterday I was standing in front of the pantry and
letting it talk to me as it does to tell
me what I was going to make, and you know,
like how it's like, oh, you've got this, You've got that,
And I was just like, I mean, I've got everything
for green bean castle or I mean I could eat

(41:24):
it twice in one week, like I haven't had it
in like a year, like this is so good. And
so I made it, but I was so lazy I
didn't even cook it in a regular castrole dish. I
went and got one of the foil pans I have
for Thursday, but it's not a regular foil pan for
green bean castrole. It's like a deep one not big
enough for a turkey, but too large for a site okay,

(41:45):
and so it just like it was like the smallest
thinned out serving, but only because.

Speaker 6 (41:51):
The foil pan was so big.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
I mean, yeah, me and my kid, we would took
it down. I I'm sure my husband had like a
bite or whatever. But like, we took down the entire pan.
And then I looked in the pantry and I went, oh, man,
I gotta go grocery shopping again. It because I have
any more green bean castle over Thursday.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Well, it's a shame that we don't eat more green beans.
Forget it that hard to make, right, No.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
It's the I can make it. I'm not out what
I'm making.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
You actually made it yet?

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Oh no, this is like the one thing I can make.
Have I never told you the secret. The secret's the microwave.
This is what you do.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
You have to get.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Canned green beans, doesn't matter, it doesn't matter the brand.
You don't. You rinse them obviously, because they're in water.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
You dump them in. Then you have to do campbells.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
You just do. It's the only time I'm gonna be
named brands specific. And you get the cream of mushroom soup.
You put that in there, you mix it in and
then you just take a handful of the crunchies, mix
it in and you microwave it until hot. After it's hot,
then you layer it in the pan and then put
the crunchies on top. But because all you're trying to
do is make the crunchies extra crunchy. You just throw
them on broil for like maybe a minute, and you pull.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
It out because the.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
Mixture is already hot, so everything stays extra crispy and
it's so good. It's so easy. But the secret, I
don't care if people are gonna say, worsterr stier sauce,
where's your cheese?

Speaker 4 (43:09):
No, the secret is the microwave.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Why can't you just broil it or bake it?

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Because when you bake it it takes really long speed.
But also for the crunchies that you throw into it,
they'll get really soggy, and then it's like, why did
you even throw that in there?

Speaker 5 (43:25):
I'm just surprised you like wavered from your normal meal
of roughage.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
It's just like I know, like like here's a handful
of spinach.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
Let me just eat that.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Like he's like a rabbit normally.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
No portion control, farx, it's a rabbit.

Speaker 6 (43:40):
Let's go ahead put that out there.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
I believe, I believe in fiber and not whatever. It
doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
But okay, vegetable, you broke into the I don't break
anything else.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Hopefully this.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
I also ate half of a sweet potato pie.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yes, okay, I'll take the other.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
Half if it's pretty sure. My husband hit that I'm.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Gonna get a grocery shop again.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Yeah, thanks for starting your day with The Morning.

Speaker 7 (44:06):
Miss It's the Morning mixed with Matt Harris and Lizda.

Speaker 6 (44:09):
No, here's your latest pop update.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Vicky was huge at the box office. This is powered
by Mark Spain Real Estate.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
It was huge.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
There was some celebrities. It almost got cast in it.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Lady Gaga was reportably the first choice to play Alphaba
when they were doing the twenty sixteen version, but then
it kind of fell through and having a twenty twenty
different director, so she was out.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
But Lady Gaga was in the hunt right there.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
I think that would have changed the whole thing though.

Speaker 6 (44:35):
Oh, it definitely you know, yeah, she can hit some notes.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Yeah, she absolutely can. I feel like it would turn
into like Lady Gaga's movie though, because of how passionate
her fans are. I don't know. She feels like it
would be a different vibe.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Sean Mendez was in the running to play Piero.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Okay, yeah, Amanda ce Freed.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Is that how you say it? I guessed Syfried.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
She auditioned to play Glinda, but she just thought, uh,
and was hoping to get it.

Speaker 6 (45:02):
I don't know she could sing me neither.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Dove Cameron was one of the auditioned and would have
been a dream role, she says, for her.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Uh, let's see who else.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Oh, the Jonas brothers, two of them, Nick and Joe
auditioned for fierro.

Speaker 6 (45:20):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yes, I don't.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Mean this as a slight at all. I think I
could see Nick Jonas's box. I think he would have
made a great box.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
And and I don't know, it would have been interesting
casting for sure. Charlotte's own Renee Rapp, who was from
Mean Girls, uh and obviously born and raised here in
Huntersville and whatnot. She auditioned to play Glinda and so
she but she said, you know, Ario, I was gonna
do it way better than me, she said. And let's

(45:49):
see if they have any other weird ones. A couple
of guys I haven't heard of him, somebody named Spencer Sutherland,
I don't knowho that is.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
And the and the woman who was the.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Lead in the Mean Girls movie, Taylor Loud, audition for
the role as well.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
So there you go. Yeah, And Arianna audition for both roles.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (46:09):
I heard that.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
Yeah, yeah, but she wanted Glinda because I guess she
met oh my gosh, what is her name, Kristin chennaw
With on Broadway when she was like eleven years old
and told her I'm gonna play I'm going to play
Glinda one day.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Similarity, Yeah, yeah, yeah, what do you have over there?

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Mcaulay Culkin has quite the interesting name and middle name
because his full legal name is mccaully mccaullay culkin Culkin,
And so apparently seven years ago this was a stunt
on The Tonight Show and they allowed people to vote
for what his middle name would be, and their options
were mccaullay culkin as the middle name, or the McRib

(46:47):
is back or after his brother. And he said he
did it for just one joke. It was on Fallon
and now that's legally. Oh he changed it.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
That's great, he didn't just say it.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
You know, I always wonder whenever they do those like
stunts and stuff, like if they actually go through it,
because remember when Harry Styles is on James Corden and
he just like got a tattoo and you were like.

Speaker 6 (47:08):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (47:09):
What is happening right now? Yeah? It's probably set up,
you know. They know once you have so many.

Speaker 5 (47:14):
Tattoos, it's like one more. That's right, I'll do it
for a bit.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Luke Hombs is about to bring some flair to Monday
Night Football, some Carolina flair. He's joining Peyton Manning and
Eli Manning for the Manning Cast to Night during the
second quarter of the forty nine Ers Panthers game. Peyton
has a country connection. He co hosted the CMA Awards
for a few years. It's no surprise he's bringing on

(47:38):
Luke and Luca is a die hard Carolina Panthers fan
and Panthers are in the playoff race. Luke is legit fan.
He teamed up with the Panthers for a new merchandise collaboration.
He's on the road taking a little break as his
wife Nichole's getting ready to welcome their third baby, so he.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Will be on there.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
The Panthers are gonna This is the first time I
believe it or not, that Christian maccaffery's played against the
Panthers and they traded him and it seems like forever ago, right.
Ah Wow, Seven and a half point underdogs to the Niners,
but they could do it.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
They could do it in the morning.

Speaker 7 (48:13):
It's the morning mixed with Matt Harrison, Liz Ludah.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Do you guys make your bed in the morning?

Speaker 3 (48:20):
No?

Speaker 6 (48:21):
Most morning?

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Yeah I do not either. Maybe you dude like it's
always one of those things to.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Say that that's the best way and you've accomplished something.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
And then you know, get you really fired up.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Well, when you sleep, your body gives off heat and
sweat that soaks into your bedding. So it makes the
bed if you make them. But in the second you
get up, you seal it all the grossness.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
You gotta let it air out.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
There's some new uh you know whoever these people are,
they're the.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
National Allergy Foundation of America saying don't do it. Don't
make your bed right away at least uh that little
warm cocoon you just came out of his prime real estate.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
For dust mites.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
Dust mites love moisture, they love dead skin cells. They're
one of the biggest prosper anyone with allergies or asthma.
So it tightly made bed can turn into an all
inclusive resort.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
For the little buggers. Huh.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
They recommend pulling back your covers and letting the bed
breathe for thirty to sixty minutes, thirty to sixty days.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
Yeah, I never make my bed.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
I rarely. Uh do you do a top sheet?

Speaker 4 (49:30):
No, I don't. I believe that it's for my legs.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Yeah, that that has disappeared over the years.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
It's just the fitted sheet and then comforter.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
The cover needs wash now more because of that.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Yeah, I mean whatever, I wash it all the time.
And then I vacuum my mattress too.

Speaker 6 (49:45):
Oh you do yeah, oh wow, I don't do that next.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
Yeah, that's a year of those dust mites.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
They said, crack a window if you can fan on,
fans always on. Uh, if you let your sheets, try
out there being a whole lot less welcoming to mites,
milldow and funky smells. But doesn't mean you just skip
making your bed completely. A National Sleep Foundation study found
people who make their beds nineteen percent more likely to
report good sleep.

Speaker 6 (50:08):
Okay, oh yeah, but I don't like.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
My bed being made. I hate when you go somewhere
like a hotel or something, and the beds made. Oh
it's so tight you can't even get your legs in there.

Speaker 6 (50:19):
You can just make it fighting.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
It and you're kicking one leg up and you don't
have to make it a light cramp and then oh it's.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Terrible, especially when you don't have a top sheet. It's
not tight.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
You just take your comforter, fluff it out and laid
on top right, you're not trapped.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
And then then you got to re stack the pillows.
And it was coming in my room. It's me and
my housemand. We know what our room looks like.

Speaker 6 (50:39):
It's fine.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
I like it made on occasion. I like it made
coming back from vacation. Oh yeah, clean and made.

Speaker 5 (50:47):
Like I mean, just in general, I'm not doing it
for anybody else coming in our room.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
I'm literally doing it just for me.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
But I like the pillows stacked up just right the
night before, like, and just the comforter that's like half
the thing. And you know what I mean, the bed,
everything's just right. It's just the way I left it
that way. I can just snuggle right back into it.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Oh, mine's a mess. Like the comforter is one place,
thrown all over the road like it's it's it looks
like a wrestling match went on you.

Speaker 6 (51:14):
I'm a pretty still sleeper.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
I think that helps with my bed making because it's
literally just like I take the blanket and just you know,
fold it back.

Speaker 6 (51:24):
Up, but like it like it's just like I pretty
much stay in the.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Same Oh, mine's all havoc.

Speaker 6 (51:29):
Yeah, yeah, you're just like steam rolling all over the bed.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
I still have kind of the uh, the top sheet
sort of, but it's just kind of down at the
bottom there, right, it's just like pull it up.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
You know how lazy I am.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
So when I was in college, I was so afraid
people like come back to my dorm room and they'd
be like, oh my gosh, what bets it made, you know,
like when you'd have.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
Friends and stuff or whatever.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Yeah, And I would make my bed and then I
would sleep on top of the made bed.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
With just like an afghan. That way it just stayed made.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
It is lazy. That's pretty lazy.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's a nap at that point, right,
It's not a real sleep if you're like I, uh,
you know, if.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
I ever had a visitor in my bedroom once in
a while, I will make it like like could be
the night.

Speaker 4 (52:14):
I want to shave your legs. I'm gonna make the
bedroom and then you come back to.

Speaker 6 (52:18):
Your You come back to your room and you're like
lonely again. It's me again.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
That's given me a hug to night is this top sheet?

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Could get a little frisky with myself. He found them
on the internet, so they be true. That's odd facts.
That's on you, all right.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
There are two states in the USA that have more
turkeys than people. It's North Carolina, whoa, and Indiana.

Speaker 6 (52:46):
Okay, all right?

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Now, Minnesota raises the most turkeys, uh and, which puts
them above the population.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
But these are just turkeys wild.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
See that blows my mind. Just like I live out
in Gaston County and I've seen a turkey I think
maybe a couple times. I think it's the same one.
But like, I've never seen a nest of turkeys, right,
and I grew up in North Carolina. I've never seen
like turkey eggs. I didn't realize we had them any turkeys?
Or is it that our population is just that small?

Speaker 2 (53:21):
A little bit of both, I guess, you know. I
haven't dug deep into the stats, so you know, do
your own research.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
These are just odd. But the U there's this is
insane to me too.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
There are about six point five million turkeys across the
US wild.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
One hundred years ago, they were only two hundred thousand.
Oh wow, Yeah, that's insane, right, yeah, yeah, that is.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
I'm guessing without reading it, I'm guessing that once they
decided we're gonna anytime you decide you could eat something,
there gets more like the like bison and buffalo are
almost extinct, and then.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
They're like, we could eat this, and.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
So right people raise to them, right whatever. Yeah, that's like, yeah,
I don't know that makes it.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
Well, they're definitely not on the endangered list with the
growth of a population like that, but.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
When they were down at two hundred thousand, maybe they were.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
North Carolina number one in total production of turkeys, generating
fifteen point five percent of the nation's turkey by weight.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Then it's Minnesota and uh yeah, well, I guess.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Because there's all those per do things here. I just
didn't realize there were turkeys hanging out too.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Yeah. Oh yeah, I mean what wild turkeys.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
Yeah, yes, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
Well, up and especially if you go in the Appalachin Mountains,
a lot of turkey hunting up there, yeah, and the
coastal areas.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
There's also turkeys, So yeah, a lotther of people do
turkey hunt. This is weird.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
There were fourteen dot coms that advertise during the Super
Bowl in two thousand, only four still active. Oh oh wow,
Auto Trader, Last Minute, Travel Monster, and web md.

Speaker 6 (54:57):
Oh Before Go Daddy.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
Yeah wow, that's crazy, right.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Pepperoni is an American food.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
In Italian, pepperoni with one pee is the word for
bell peppers, and there's no in Italy. There's no salami
named pepperoni with two peas uses a pizza topic, don't
even have.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
It weird, wells super weird.

Speaker 5 (55:21):
I'd be very thrown off though, if I ordered pepperoni
and it's bell peppers on them, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
I feel like Sophia off the Golden Girls led me astray.
She led me to believe that they had pepperoni over there.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Well, I mean, maybe it's called something else and done
some weather way, but it's definitely not spelled like that.
And hey, I just found these on the internet, so right,
yeah right. And finally, chocolate chips were invented after chocolate
chip cookies.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
I can see that.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
What yes, because they were just carving it off of
blocks of chocolate.

Speaker 5 (55:52):
So originally they weren't chips, they were chunks, chunks or something. Yeah,
because like, who.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Hasn't got I'm desperate to make cookies and had just
like a Hershey's bar and you just throw it on
the ground, break it into pieces.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
It took like four years to figure it out, which
is amazing.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
Yeah that is.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
I'll give you one other one. Bananas are technically berries.

Speaker 6 (56:14):
Oh that doesn't sit right with me.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
Also, other things considered berries technically avocados, egg plants, grapes, guava, kiwis, papayas, peppers, pomegranates, tomatoes,
all botanically speaking, are berries.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
No, yeah, I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, nobody gonna like that.

Speaker 5 (56:35):
No, definitely, bananas are the most offensive of that though.
The egg plant, Yeah, that's that's in the same Yeah.
What about, Hey, you guys want to berry and I
walk out with an egg plant?

Speaker 6 (56:46):
Yeah, no, I'm out.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
Yeah, it's not just an emoji, it's a berry.
