Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Morning Mix, Mornings, Birthday, Mark Spain real Estate.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
It is the fifth of this.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
And if you want to feel old, Frankie Munez is
forty right.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
That's what I definitely changed my perspective of what the
show was like.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
I like the comedy.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Even when we were filming it or we were doing it,
I imagine that the show was different than it actually ended
up being, you know what I mean. And there were
characters that when I was filming, I was like, this
is stupid that actually were my favorite. They ended up
becoming some of my favorite moments. When I rewatched the show.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
He went back, Yeah, he went back and rewatched Malcolm
in the Middle, and there's this whole rumor. It was
like he doesn't remember the show and he had to
come back out and clarify and be like, I was
a kid.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
It was like going to work every day.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Right. The rumor was, to be clear, it was that
he had some sort of brain damage and couldn't remember
it right from racing.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Have a racing accident. But he had to come back
and be like, no, no, no, it was just I
was a kid. This was every day. And even the
people that were on Friends, they'll tell you. They they
don't know most of the episodes, they have to go
back and rewatch them. But I do love hearing him
talk about what an iconic character Hal was, Yes on
Malcolm in the Middle and that, you know, like he
had appreciated him during the show, but it wasn't until

(01:17):
afterwards when we went back and watched it and was like, wow,
you were very talented.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Also celebrating today, Margaret Show is fifty seven, so we've
got Johnny Resnik, who is sixty, who is the Goo
Goo Dolls singer, and Iris has had like a resurgence
on TikTok all of a sudden.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Googoo Dolls are super cool.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I saw him over the summer in concert and you know,
just pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
And then they're no longer with us. But today would
have been.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Little Richard's birthday, and I don't know, it just puts
you in good vibes when he tells you to shut
up and then he sings shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Not many can do that, right him, And yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Just love it. I was like, shut up.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
And then the man most famous for his work with Rodents.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Walt Disney.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Today would have been his birthday and obviously Mickey Mouse,
Minnie Mouse.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
He's got like multiple theme parks, I mean one of
the bigg you ever heard of them?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Right, Well, in case you have in here's his most
famous character, letting him know, Happy birthday, Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Dear friends.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Oh you don't have no name on Mickey Boo.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
So at Disney they will put some candles and Walt's
frozen head and yes.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
You're so weird on in today's National Communicate with your
kids today, all right, make sure you talk to that
will shut up.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
In the morning.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
The Morning mixed with Matt Harris and Liz Ludo.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Good day, my friends, Luda, Good morning. Hello, Hello DJ,
good morning, Good morning. You saw something that I've been
wondering about on your dick tack. Uh. Someone handed in
a counterfeit one hundred dollar bill, yeah, to a grocery store.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
They weren't a drive through.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Through, and the drive through what they just keep it right?
They kept did and arrest them.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
No, they came out and said, hey, your bill showed
up his counterfeit.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
We have to keep it.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
It was one hundred dollars bill because they were no.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, they like had to offer another payment and then
they wouldn't give the lady her one hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Bill back, which makes sense, Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
But like, I don't know what if you didn't intentionally
have a counterfeit bill though, what if it was given
to you?

Speaker 5 (03:39):
I would have called the police as the.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Person in the drive through to be like, because one
hundred dollars is a lot of money.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
To lose out on.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Absolutely, And I.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Don't feel like if you're making a TikTok or a
video about it, that you're the one that's counterfeiting the money. Like,
there's got to be something, right or do you just
lose that money?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I would guess you lose it.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I looked it up and basically the the central element
in counterfeiting is intent. Yeah, so you have to have
the intent to defraud. Yeah, so if you could just
be like, hey, what in mine? And they'd have to
prove that you were really trying to pull it off,
which if they want to, yes, they could, right, but
I understand them not giving it back. The comics they

(04:18):
can't give it back. Get that, but then but you're screwed.
You have to you have to hunt down where you
got the hundred. That is what I think would have
to happen.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Right, But even then, you'd improve that that was where
you got it from. So in the event that someone
gives you a fake bill, you're just out that money.
Yeah yeah, and especially like life is expensive right now,
if somebody was like, you're not getting your hundred back,
I don't think I would keep it together.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Not that the person who took it, just.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Myself emotionally, I think they would have to call someone
because I'd be crying in the drive through, like please
just give me my chicken nuggets.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Because the only place I would ever I would think,
get a hundred dollars bill is through the bank, right,
Not that I go to a bag very often, but
I can't imagine a person giving me a hundred, And
if it did, I would know who that person is, right,
because it's.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
So able to track it very easy.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Right now, you have jobs where you are paid in
cash sometimes, right, but then you would know you got
it from your job, right. It would be hard to
imagine you having one hundred dollars and you not know
where it came from.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, because even with the bank, and maybe it's because
I'm taking out such low numbers if I am getting cash,
it's always.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Been in twenties, right, right, that's that's the last.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Time I did have one hundred dollars bill is when
I graduated high school and a great aunt sent it
to me at a congratulations part. I literally, now that
you mentioned it, that is a solid point. I would
know where it came from.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Right, you'd be able to hunt it down, but you
don't have it, But you don't have the counterfeit to
tell them that you got the counterfeit.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
True, Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Mean I was Can I take a picture at least
get a serial number.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
Or AI you could like make it.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
You know what you need to do anytime you go
to the bank, just in front of the camera, just
clearly display all of the bills.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
Just look like, just line them up, I mean, wave
the money.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
Do I imagine at the bank they are checked through that, yeah,
I would hope. So I can't that why we're paying
them all those fees for them to check that kind
of stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I wouldn't think you'd get it from a bank.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
It had to be from a person, right and souse,
even a store.

Speaker 7 (06:15):
You're not getting one hundred and change. You know you're
not dropping a five hundred dollars bill.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah right, yes, exactly right.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
So complicated.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I don't like it.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
This is why I don't ever.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Have cash as somebody who works in cash, but like
somebody who works in a cash business, it would have
to be yeah, yeah, bartender server.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
But yet again, I don't think I was pulling that
kind of money.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Sometimes, even like you know, landscape guys or whatever, some
people just get your cash. I mean there's a lot
of a lot of places, but the fact that you
just lose it and there's no there's no real reason
I guess for the store to bother calling the police,
right because they're figuring they must look at the person

(06:59):
or whatever just judge them that, like you, you didn't
really meet it, right.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
Also, you're at a Wendy's or something. It's not like
you're trying to defraud, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I think the people who are trying to pull it
off probably as soon as they say it's counterfeit, they
run y.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah right, And then the people that are left crying
in the drive through with like can I still get
my nuggets?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Right?

Speaker 3 (07:19):
And I feel like we're probably the ones that you
don't have to worry about you can.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
But you're now going no soda and no French friends, right,
can I at least get dipigs? Forget about it? Forget
about it?

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
You ever stumble across counterfeiting money?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Uh? Seven oh four or five seven oh one, seven nine?
I did have a friend anyways, show your friend the
person I knew. Uh, you can buy this money online
that's used for movies.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah, oh yeah, because it can't use your own money.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
And it looks so real. Yes, it looks so so real.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
I mean obviously if you're holding light looking, yes, but uh,
but just to see it, you wouldn't immediately go it's
not real.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
We should we should only be available to get like
monopoly money.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
It should right morning.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
He mixed Matt Harrison Liz Gluda every time this week,
every time it emotional.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Every time you go to say my name, you just
lose it, and I get it. I know, I'm amazing,
I'm great.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I don't know if you ever tried to wrangle a cat,
but it could be seen from a horror movie wrangling raccoon.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Next level baby, and these people are trying to make
them pets.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, I know, Georgia recently came across an injured raccoon
on the side of the road. Decided to get the
animal lift to a nature center. He wrapped the raccoon
in his coat, held it against his chest as he.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Drove for an hour.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't know if he was animal lover raccoon lover
just thought it look cute. Either way, it was wild
and it really didn't want to be driven around.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
The raccoon bit.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
The man on his face and hands, so he gave
it some space and man's a wrapping.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
The blanket with duct tape. It continued driving. That is
dedication at some point just like, yeah, you.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Know what that because he got bit, you now to
take it in and you get checked for rabies.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
You can't get rid of the raccoon.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I know, but it would be once he got to
the nature center. See, I would have gone right to
the hospital. I think the staff put the raccoon in
a kennel.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Said it to a bet. They forcefully insisted the bloody.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Man go to the hospital. He's like, I'm fine, I'm fine,
and they basically made him go. Yeah, the raccoon had rabies.
U The man went through all the you know, that
trouble to rescue it for nothing. U.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
We assume man's gonna be okay. No, if do his conditions,
but we assume it's okay.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
And just the other day when you were talking about
the raccoon that was passed out drunk in the liquor store,
when I said, if you approached, if I encountered that,
I would not try to like see if the raccoon
was alive, I would call for help, y'all acted like
so ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, I am not wrapping it up in a blanket
and putting it on my chest without poking it with
a broom and then if it wakes up, I'm closing
the door or trying to chase it out the thing,
but I'm not getting close enough like he was cuddling
with it.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Well, yeah, you know that's a terrible idea.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
That that is not a good idea.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
If you're going to rescue wildlife, you at least need
a crate in the back.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, it was a bad move. His heart was in
the right place, but then he put everyone in. He
came in contact with a risk and there were kids
at the nature center at the time. They also note
that they're not licensed they are not licensed for raccoon rehabilitation.
They only accept raptors, reptiles, amphibians, So I'm not really
sure you would think if you could go anywhere a vet,

(10:40):
I'd probably go hospital about once I'm bitten.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Right a nature center an hour away, I'm not doing it, definitely.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
I don't know if any like that would just take
in wildlife like that though.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
There's certain vets you have to find out. But I
would try it and then they would guide me to
the right place. Yeah, I just I'm not taking off
for an hour and not even knowing.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
If they've got ye ability, right.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
I'd at least be like, can you knock this raccoon
out for an hour drive?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
You know, like give us some an sezure or something
so I can not get bit.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
It is a reminder be kind of animals, but you
shouldn't handle potentially rapid wildlife yourself. Yes, licensed professionals.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Baby.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
Wildlife, give it its distance.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
I don't even know how he like what made him
think it was injured or whatever, just because it's on
the side of the road, was it And if it
was that injured, like it looked like it was.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Hurt really bad at that point, I'm like, it's it's
a raccoon, it's right, and yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Let the natures take it, of course, an hour to drive,
like I don't Yeah, I'm assuming he's an old guy
right at the time, an old retired guy like I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
That sounds like that, sounds like a young guy.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Maybe, Okay, all right, Uh, at least you would just
call Jimmy says that your answer to everything, But we don't.

Speaker 7 (11:56):
Yeah, we all don't have Jimmy. That's gonna be my
my situation soon. I'm just gonna start calling jim exactly.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, need anything handled? My husband got it all right?
I would I would call, uh, my.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Husband who was to college for a while, like an
so I feel like he's emotionally like but.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Not everybody has one hand prepared. Your recommendation doesn't help,
No others helped. I would call someone who I know
who is a hunter. Okay, yeah, guy who is out
in the way. And I know a couple of guys
like that, and I'd be called one of them.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
You can call, you can my husband.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, he's got enough on his play with you with
me on hold hand on the phone with him simultaneously.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Right, yeah, right, thanks for starting your day with The
Morning Miss.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
It's The Morning mixed with Matt Harris and Liz No.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Here's your latest pop update. It's probably Mark Spain in
real Estate.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Allegedly, Taylor Swift paid off another bride for her wedding date.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
So this is the courting. Yeah, like the actual date.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
On the calendar, not like a person a date or
like a date you can eat, like a date you
can have on the calendar. But anyways, this is according
to the New York Posts, that's who's reporting it, and
they're saying that Taylor Swift wanted to have her wedding
on June thirteenth, twenty twenty six. Okay, And the reason
for the June thirteenth is because thirteen is her lucky number.
That's like a big thing she does. And she wanted

(13:15):
to get married in Rhode Island. They were going to
do it at her house, and then there turns out
there was a venue called Ocean House, and somebody else
already had the date booked, and so she was able
allegedly all this, Like I said, New York Posts, she
was able to figure out who it was and she
made them allegedly a large cash offer gave up.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
Their wedding date.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
That yeah, I'd be like, I'll move mine to the
Tuesday before. Yeah, you just pay for the whole thing, Taylor,
pay for my wedding, and I'll move it to any
date you want.

Speaker 2 (13:46):

the money.

Speaker 7 (13:54):
Yeah both, Yeah, Okay, I paid for money and I
get to go.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
To But also money wise, you maybe you'll lose it.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
I don't even think you'd lose the deposit because they
get somebody right, she's just paying you whatever you want
to do it. Okay, So I'll take let's say fifty.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Grand, and I get to go to your wedding. Yeah

Speaker 3 (14:30):
You just have like a random video camera from the nineties.
You're trying to hide under your suit jacket, like no, no, no,
I'm not filming this I'm not gonna sell this to
the papers.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
No, because I'd be stupid enough to think that if
I was cool, they'd all be my friends, right, So yeah, yeah,
it'd be so dumb that I think, like, what are
the best buddiest right?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah? Me and Travis are gonna get along great.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Did the Google did their trends and searches of the
past year. Top searched actors coming into five Charlie Sheen four,
Pamela Anderson three, Walton Goggins three, Malachi Barton he was
in Door of the Lost City and some other things,
and Paedro Pascal most searched. Most searched movies at five,

(15:34):
want to be an extra in that.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
No one watches that. Well, they were.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
There's somebody who's filming right now in Mount Holly, like
right down the road from me, and I think it
might actually be them and I was like, oh, can
I just like walk on set? And it turns out
I know you in fact cannot.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah what else?

Speaker 5 (15:49):
Yeah, Martha Stewart got struck by lightning three times.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
WHOA what she's saying?

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Yeah, that's what she's saying.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
So she said the first time she was doing dishes
and she saw the lightning like entering her pipes, like
it came out through the SPEGEA.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
Is that the right word?

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah? Sure, O fawcet there we go.

Speaker 5 (16:04):
False, That's the word I was trying to come up with.
She said.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
The second time it knocked her on the ground, she
was in her garden. And she said she was on
her phone in her garden and that that's what got struck.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
I don't believe her, okay. And anyways, yeah, so she
said it was three times.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, I think it's not. You know, she's eighty something
and yeah, we would heard about it.

Speaker 7 (16:22):
I don't think that counts as getting struck by lightning, true,
like cause you're in a like ungrounded house or whatever.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Okay, and it's.

Speaker 7 (16:31):
Just like you know, old old houses that aren't ground.
I'm sure like code has updated all that, But like
I bet she's there's there's a lot, right, Yeah, there's
a lot of older houses that you know you can
see the lightning jump from the room.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, Like, well, I remember the day I get a steeple,
you know, I remember the.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Day my parents it wasn't no baths or showers when
it was raining, right, Yeah, but I don't believe that's true.

Speaker 7 (16:56):
Right, it's not because houses are ground No, No, I.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
Think it depends.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I think I'm gonna I'm gonna might be.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Some rare idy, but I say I think in general,
in a house.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Let me have this, all right, Sometimes I need an
excuse to let my hygien go.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Just okay, don't listen to me. By the way, Yeah,
if you get electric, it's on you.

Speaker 3 (17:15):

a living? Matt, And what did you just say? Don't

we were searching for on Google.

And these are the the first time searches. Okay, the huge,
big first time searches gen Z stare.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yeah, that was a big one, especially back in the spring,
trying to explain to everybody what it was. And it's
when you say something to someone who's gen Z especially
and like a like a I don't want to say
a corporate environment, but like a retail environs, and they
just stare blankly at you.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
They're like, ye, do do you have a table for two?

Speaker 2 (18:04):

No, no, no, they were the beat it bag. I
did that in a lunacy back in July. People were
on the hunt for them. They were getting them like
Marshalls and TJ Max and people were reselling them for
crazy amounts of money.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
That was the thing where people were making like memes
of themselves. It was really big on Facebook, and it
was like turning you into an action figure and so
like your accessory could be like a true crime podcast,
impact of Influence or whatever, and then like so that's
what that was.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
They were using AI to do that.

scream horror movies.

Speaker 2 (19:58):

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, giblets.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Why do kids say six seven sigma forty one, skibbety
ohio riz good boy, skibbity toilet or and chat?

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:59):
I know those I went to specifically to Charlotte. It
was a sixty seven six.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Six seven chopped.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
Yeah, ugly.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Sharking and slime that's in Charlotte so much.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
What is sharking that one?

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I don't know. That's a good question.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
I tell her that some investigative reporting over here.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
That Charlotte songs for wood by T Swift and Golden
Hunter Tricks by ordinary I mean Golden Hunt Tricks and
then Ordinary by Alan Warren, the top trending dating method.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Alan Warren, Alex, we're taking it away from you. I
must not be six seven.

Speaker 7 (21:43):
Sharking means predatory behavior. Oh really, Okay, there you go.

Speaker 5 (21:50):
That makes sense.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
And I think that this you're going to just keep
getting more and cool the more you try to read.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Matt, I'm just gonna go ahead and put that out there.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
If not as cool as Alan Warren, Alan Warren, Baby,
I love Alan Morning Mixed, Matt Harris Days, super quirky.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Liz Luda looks at social media forty hours a day
so you don't have to.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
And we got the Pantone Color of the Year for
twenty twenty six, and I am so disappointed in humanity.
It is literally the worst choice they can make. And
it is Cloud Dancer. And what is that color?

Speaker 1 (22:19):
You ask?

Speaker 5 (22:19):
It's white. It's just white, just white.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Even you just can't tell the difference because I know,
like sometimes I've been sent to the store before to
get white paint, right, and it's not the white paint.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, there's a whole wall of different white. No, it's
just white.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
There's no question around it.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
And they tried to like make it sound better by
saying it's embodying billowing silhouettes and natural fabrics like feathers,
and did this whole thing, And I hate that we
are losing so much color. Things used to be bright
and colorful, and everything is getting so just boring. Even
cars they come now in white, black, silver sometimes, like everything.

(22:58):
Look at buildings, decorate inside. There's so much gray. I
don't want any more of it. And so I was like, well,
is this like is it always a boring color?

Speaker 7 (23:09):
Right?

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Last year was Mocha Moose, the year before the year
before was Peach Fuzz. Twenty twenty three was Viva Magenta,
which was a bright, bright color.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Twenty two very pary. It was like a periwinkle that
was bright.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Twenty twenty one was the color illuminating, and then Ultimate gray,
so they did yellow and gray. Twenty twenty was Classic.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Blue and it was like a dark but bright blue.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Nineteen was Living Coral, twenty eighteen ultraviolet, all of it.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
No, we had these bright colors they've been.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Known for, I guess, big bright colors, and now all
of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
We're gonna like it back.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
I'm so sick of that.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
I want is a crazy thing to be so excited
about it. You don't have to use the color.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
No, I don't, but I feel like it sets like decortes,
friends and doing things inside.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
No, it's just no.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I want things to be bright colors again. I'm sorry,
Cheeto dust or that's what.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
It's gonna got.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Even clothing is just so boring. I need some more
bright colors.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Okay, So what I did.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
I did something to make.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
My marching company panteen.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
That's a AirCare pantone.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Pantone. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
We're gonna goton.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I've heard of it, but only from the color.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Like there's like a whole like thing that gets together
and they bring people from across the world and they
all decide to color white hair cool again.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Well, anyways, what I did to make myself feel better
is as a millennial. And I know you're gonna say
I was too old. I've been watching this and the
answer is probably yes. But this video makes its rounds
every year at the holidays on social media, and it's
back when Bernie and the kids used to wrap and
it was very brightly colored.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
So I'm just gonna listen to some some children's music.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
My name is my god, I'm looking lucky now, are
you out.

Speaker 7 (25:06):
Of your mind?

Speaker 2 (25:08):
I have to find joy somewhere. Joy and Barney's kids rapping.
I'm actually of well.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Selena Gomez and Damie Levado were in there, all right,
that's where they got their start.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I'm already maxed my Harris Luna and needed some help.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
All right, So my dog went to a cardiologist yesterday.
I don't have a cardiologist, but my dog does. And
so I am one of those people who is obsessed
with her dogs. My other big dog sadly passed back
at the beginning of November. But I have a credit
card that is specifically just for them that I am
in debt on, right, because I do everything I can

(25:50):
because I love them so much. They are my snuggle buddies.
They are my best friends. They are just my world.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Right.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
So, my little dog, Lucy, she has been having some issues.
She had what look like a mass inside of her mouth,
and so she's gonna have to have some dental work done.

Speaker 5 (26:07):
We got referred out to.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
A special dentist who because she's had heart surgery in
the past. So when I say go above and beyond,
my little Wiener dog Lucy, when she was three years old,
had heart surgery at Auburn, which I don't think most
people would do right because so expensive, and I didn't
live in Auburn. I mean we're talking taking time off
of work, driving overnight, doing the whole deal, and so like,

(26:30):
I have so many emotions of my dog, and I
know everybody does, but so I was like hyped up
yesterday for this cardiologist appointment because they needed to clear
her so that she could go on to get the
surgery for her mouth.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
She needs, we get her there. It is what it is.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
I got so frustrated. I know everybody has a bad day.
Everybody has a bad day, so I don't want to
I'm not going to name the place.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
I've had great experiences there before.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Yesterday's experience was so bad because it was a doctor
I'd never seen before. The cardiologist came in and right
from the get go was like angry with me and
was basically lecturing me about how how could I let
my dog get this bad?

Speaker 5 (27:10):
And I was like this bad?

Speaker 3 (27:12):
What? And I was like what do you mean? Like
what showed up on her heart stuff? And she was like, oh,
her heart is fine. We're going to clear her for surgery,
but there's other issues we encountered, and I was.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
Like, whoa, oh, okay, what are they?

Speaker 3 (27:24):
And she said, well, I'm a cardiologist, so I'm here
to discuss her heart and I was like, what.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
What are the other issues?

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Well, we'll get there, and was just very condescending and
mean to me, and I was like, what is going on?
So I kept trying to like She's like, so what
are your questions? And I'm like, I guess how is
my dog doing? Like I want these answers, yeah, and
just was not very nice and so finally I was like,
I don't know what I did to you to like
make you upset with me. I'm just here trying to

(27:52):
do what's best for my dog. And she was like, well,
your dog has memory tumors. Why have you not gotten
this lift into And I said, my dog has memory tumors.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
How would you go?

Speaker 5 (28:01):
I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
I had no idea regular she goes regularly, more than
your average dogs.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
The fact that I'm at a cardiologist at a.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Specialist after like, I take care of my pets, and
she kind of lectured me and was like, well why
is this? And I was like, uh, I didn't know.
And she's like, well, this needs to be taken care
of immediately. And I said, okay, so what do I do?
And she said I don't do that. I'm a cardiologist.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
And I said where do I go? Do I go
to my regular bed?

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Is there another specialist? He're like, what do I do?
And she was like you're going to figure that out?
And I said, okay, well what about her mouth surgery?
Well that needs to be taken care of immediately. And
I said, well, they got a standing surgery on January eighth,
because that's the soonest we could get it for. It
was supposed to be on the first. They didn't realize
they were closed whatever. And she said that's too long,
that's too far.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
Out, and I said, I don't know what to do.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
So I'm like literally like trying to figure out, like,
well what do I do?

Speaker 2 (28:56):
First?

Speaker 5 (28:56):
Do I do I focus.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Now on what you just told me that I didn't
know about.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Do I focus on the dentist?

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Like what do I need to do?

Speaker 5 (29:03):
And so whatever?

Speaker 3 (29:04):
And so she's just basically lecturing on and I'm like,
I literally just spent over one thousand dollars on a
credit card just to see you, for you to yell
at me for twenty minutes about what a bad job.
I'm still crying, absolutely, just balling, right.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
So, I mean I still gave them my.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Credit card yourself. It was me and my husband and
so whatever. And so then I call my regular vet
and I'm like, I don't know if I need to
bring her to you. I was like, I don't know
what's going on. I don't know how I handle this. Yeah,
and then he was like, well, I literally check your
dog out like a week and a half ago. This
is not I don't know what she was seeing. Oh,
so this is wow or no? I mean, so he's like,

(29:43):
if it is something very early on, let's just handle
the mouth first. And I was like, well, she said
that's too far away. Do I now need to move
where we have our mouth surgery? And he's like, you can,
but it's the holidays, Like it's going to be a
very hard hole to try to move.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
His opinion is not an emergency like she says it is.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
It needs to be done, but she has to have
somebody that can handle her heart issues, because while she
got cleared for surgery, there's certain medications she can't have
and it's like the whole thing, and I just lost it.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
And I was just crying, and the vet ended up
like sending me.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
A text that night like my vet, my normal vet,
and just being like, I'm so sorry that they treated
you that way. Now you take you take great care
of your pets. You go so far above and beyond.
And then I just bawled, and I went to bed
at eight thirty last night and I said, that's it.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
I'm done with the day. I'm done, man, done.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
So this is where I am. I have no idea.
We have a surgery on the eighth.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
We're trying you up.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
You're doing the best you can for doing the best
I can with what I have.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, exactly right. It seems like either she had a
really bad day or she's just a really mean.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Person just because you every occupation as people who may
be good at the.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Occupation, but they suck at people.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Right, because you do a thing that's nice, like taking
care of dogs, are doesn't mean you're nice.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Right, Yes, this is where I'm gonna get a little
sassy in the sense that now I know why she
was the soonest doctor we could get in with.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Oh that's as mean as I get. Yeah, I have
another line, but I'm gonna save it.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
But mornings, Matt Harris, Liz Luda and Google releases their
searches of the year and and they broke it down
by the horoscope signs as ODIAX and it appears like
what people are worried about?

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Right?

Speaker 5 (31:19):
So okay?

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Like, for instance, why are aquarius is.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
So stubborn?

Speaker 5 (31:26):
Oh for Aquarius.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
I would give that to a Taurus all day long.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
But Aquarius?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
All right?

Speaker 2 (31:31):
It said, uh, what are you again?

Speaker 5 (31:33):
I'm a Piscy's mine's gonna be? Why don't people like me?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Why are Piscey so moody?

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Yeah, we're We're emotional. We're moody, we cry, we always are.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Like like me, what are you TJ? I'm a Virgo
TJ Virgo? Oh?

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Why are Virgos so private? Oh? Okay they are? And
I'm a Scorpio. Do you know what mine's gonna be?

Speaker 5 (31:56):
Here's gonna be some feisty or fiery horny.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
No, why Scorpio so emotional? Which I don't. I don't
think you're emotional. Oh I'm dead inside. Took me a
while though, Yeah, you get emotionally angry.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's easily they're gone and said, yeah,
usually met myself.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Right, yeah? Wire aries.

Speaker 5 (32:19):
So white headed? Difficult, not lightheaded?

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Okay, difficulty headed.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
What's the word I wanted? What's the word I'm trying
to think of? Did see?

Speaker 2 (32:28):
There we go?

Speaker 3 (32:29):
No?

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Difficult?

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Why are cancers so moody?

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Why are capricorns, Oh.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
They're like usually your workaholics.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
So hard to read?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Why are geminis crazy scared of relationships.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
Because they're jeck going hide?

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Why are leo's so self centered?

Speaker 1 (32:49):
This sucks for them? They probably google themselves. Why are
leos so attractive.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
To google? Why are libras so boring? Oh me, is
that your husband?

Speaker 3 (33:04):
No?

Speaker 5 (33:04):
No, my husband's a virgo?

Speaker 3 (33:05):
No no, no, these are just the well you think
the stereotypical traits are actually associated.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Pics are another one? So moody? Yeah? Or moody?

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Why are sagittarius they mean? Oh means what it says
they're asking? And then finally, why Taurus they're not stubborn
so emotionless?

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh no, that's what I don't wonder list at all.
That's not well, they don't make it. That's what people
who are trending. That's when people are typing in.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Maybe they're just trying to associate traits with someone they specifically.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Know, right yeah, yeah, trying to blame it because.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
The stars aren't. That's not aligning with.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
What the stars say. Oh, and the stars are science.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
I've been the moody part.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes, in the morning.

Speaker 6 (33:44):
It's the Morning mixed with Matt Harris and Liz Luda.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Oh, it is almost that ho ho time. Twenty days
I helpkin in.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
The holiday spirit. I have not I've not been my
normal self.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
I just am having a hard time. I have maybe
half my decorations up.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
And you're look like a unique way. Maybe that's not
the usual.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Yeah, Like I've already watched el If, I've watched a
Charlie Brown Christmas. I've eaten entirely too many cookies. But
that would have happened in the off season as well, right,
you know it's awesome seven or four or five, seven,
one or seven nine, And we actually have a call
with some help oh for you.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Hello, Hi, good morning, how are you fantastic? What's on
your mind?

Speaker 9 (34:24):
I know we love the show on the show Holiday
Hallmark or Hallmark Ascue movies and it's called The Spirit
of Christmas where she falls in love with the ghost.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
Oh no, oh no, is it a ghost from like
a big city or a small town.

Speaker 5 (34:43):
It's a ghost of Christmas.

Speaker 9 (34:44):
Past, of course, from a small town. But the girl,
she's a lawyer.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Oh yeah, there you go, there you go, And she
falls in love with a.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
Hot ghost, a holiday spirit.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah, hot ghost. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (35:00):
I hate to admit how much I love it. It
is the cheapiest, what's embarrassing thing to even talk about?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Did wait, do they end up together? Spoiler alert?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Because she's murdered and becomes a ghost. No, no, guessing
not yes, so they end up like he turns into
a person.

Speaker 9 (35:23):
Well yes, so for twelve days, she's physically here in
this realm, like you know, a regular person, and she's
trying to help us figure out why he died and crossover.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
But they fall in.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Love and.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Okay, so many red flags. They fall in love in
twelve days he is a ghost and what's the name again?

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Because this sounds like it might become my favorite new movie?

Speaker 9 (35:50):
Oh my gosh, it will, it will? It's you know,
I'm embarrassed to admit, but I can't remember her name.

Speaker 6 (35:58):
I really can't.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
It's called holiday.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Oh the Christmas spirit or the Holiday spirit?

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Okay, all right, all right?

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Uh, and so they end up happily ever after they
buy a tree far Oh.

Speaker 9 (36:16):
But the but the ghost his name is Daniel. He
is from like the early nineteen hundred.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Oh, so he's just thrilled with indoor plumbing with Nicolette Sheridan, Nicholas.

Speaker 9 (36:32):
Oh, I guess he's got like the suspenders and the like,
oh god there and you know the pocket watch.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Now does he know he's a ghost? Is this like
sixth cents where he doesn't know?

Speaker 2 (36:46):
He knows he's a ghost.

Speaker 9 (36:47):
He does know, but he doesn't know why he's still
there and why he comes back twelve to.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
You, and why he talks in Old English.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
It's probably before antibiotics, So I mean we can probably
narrow this down pretty quickly.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah, fantastic, Thank you for the call. This sounds amazing.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Morning Max's Matt Harris, Liz.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Luda, introducer TJ. And the fine young woman who called earlier.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Forget her name, but she said the Spirit of Christmas
is something she has to watch. It's a twenty fifteen
Paullmark movie about a woman who falls in love with
that ghost.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
No, it's even worse. It's referred to as a Hallmark
esque movie.

Speaker 7 (37:25):
Oh Dollar Store, Walmart, I.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Believe it or not.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Found the trailer and which was I couldn't even sit
through the bit of a trailer. Oh it's so so
we shortened it a little bit. But here's how cheesy
it is.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
This is my end. I have no wish to harm you.
I merely want my solitude, which requires your departure. An
actor from Daniel is not a ghost.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
However, when the clock strikes midnight on December twenty fourth.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
You will do yet again, don't you want to move
on more than you know? That's almost from long wait
for you, same time next year, Lear after Lear after that.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
So this thing, I'm going to give a little bit
of what is missing from that trailer there. So basically
she goes to what is a haunted inn.

Speaker 5 (38:07):
She is a lawyer, all right.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Has no one claimed the inn when it was that
all the people died, no one.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Owned it, And so she goes there and every year,
for the twelve days of Christmas, his ghost comes back
to human form, and then he goes back away to
just being a ghost until the next twelve days of Christmas,
and they try to figure out why he can't cross over,
and then at the end, she declares her love and says,
I'm gonna wait for you. We're gonna be together. So

(38:32):
all years she'll be single, and then those twelve days
a year they will be together.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
And it just feels like it should have wanted.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Oscar just not learning about this a decade later. Acting
at the beginning was terrible. It's so bad. I give
you my solitude. I gotta get a little quiz. You
tell me a real or fake?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (38:52):
I love this?

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Haallmark okay, missiletoe.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
In The Mechanic, a big city auto executive returns to
her snowy hometown is shut down to struggling local karah
until she meets the rugged, flannel wearing mechanic who blues
believes every car runs better with a holiday spirit. Together,
they fix more than engines, they fix their hearts.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
I'm gonna say no, I'm gonna go with the on
it is. Oh, you want to know, I.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
Know it's no.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
They never ever put women in mechanics in these movies.
They never let there be the high powered person for
a car. They're always a lawyer.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
She's in a big city auto executive.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
Okay, I still that made it unbelievable to me.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Nine Lives of Christmas.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Zachary Stone, a handsome bachelor with distaste for responsibility, sees
his life changed before his eyes when he decides to
adopt a stray cat.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
This is in fact real factory, this one.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
It's coming up this week.

Speaker 5 (39:43):
I think, Oh, then I saw it in those little
layout for it.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
And then how about this one? A missile town or
a missile toe meltdown. Matt, who breaks out in hives
near holiday decorations, accidentally becomes the face of the town's
most Festive Citizen contest after Liz secretly enters him. Now
the entire town thinks he loves Christmas. Liz must help

(40:07):
him survive a week of forced merriment, including compelling caroling
or competitive carrolling, slooding with hyperactive kindergartens in a twelve
hour ornament polishing marathon.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
I'm sorry, what did you say? His name was Matt?
And who's the person?

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Maybe something you want to see happen, because let's do it.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
Let's go outside and build a snowman. Right now, there's
no snow. We'll figure it out.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Yeah, yeah, how about this one? A snowball fight courtship.
The town's annual snowball peace treaty is broken when Matt
accidentally knocks out a caroller with a rope snowball. Yeah,
Liz is head of the Christmas cheer counsel must prosecute
him in snowball court. His punishment community service teaching joyful
snowball technique. Her punishment working with Matt's absolute refusal to smile.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
Writing for Hallmark like this is beautiful.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Morning, Matt Harris, Liz Luda, TJ take this quiz.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
I already took it, and they said I should. I
will probably bet at work.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
Uh, it is about work etiquette, Okay, okay, so just
keep your own scores with you. Question one, your phone
rings or vibrates while you were in a business meeting
or in a zoom call.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
What do you do?

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Okay, here's your choices. Excuse yourself from the meeting and
check your phone. Silence and ignore it until the meeting
is over. To check your phone, check to see who's
texting or calling during the meeting. People understand, turn your
phone off or switch to do not disturb mode before
any business meeting.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Uh, check to see who it is.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Oh, I would just silence it without looking and then
call them back afterwards.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
You both failed. Uh turn your your the the the whoop,
turn the do not disturb and turn your phone off. Yeah?
Turn yeah.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
Uh I don't even know how to do the do
not disturb.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Gonna hold on, so I hit the wrong button.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Oh yeah, you failed.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
I failed miserably.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Fifty six percent of readers did say turn your phone
off or switch to do not disturb mode before any
business meeting. That's what I said, and that is wrong.
The next most play is at the.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Uh, this is this. I'm sorry that this this thing
is reap. The most polite option is excuse yourself to
deal with it. Yet, Addie, I.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Don't think so at all, because then you're saying, whatever's
happening on your phone is more important than what's happening
in front of you right right right, And sometimes it
could just be a debt collector, you know what I mean,
Like I need to just shoop silence and then handle
that later.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Okay, this is uh.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
You could keep your camera off on a zoom call
with coworkers if no one asked for it to be
on true or false.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
They're gonna say false, but I'm gonna say true. And
it's because sometimes you just don't need to see what
kind of mess I am.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah, I'm gonna go true. Yeah. Correct.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
If the host wants to see everyone's face, the host
should say so beforehand.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Is the correct one, although the majority of.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Readers said even if it isn't required, it's a courtesy.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
No, come on, I don't ever show my face when
we do those things I do.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Sometimes my face is loud, all.

Speaker 5 (43:04):
Right, Sometimes that's for the best. You can't see my reactions.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Uh, someone you want to impress extends their hand, but
moments ago you saw the person wipe their nose with
that hand. What do you do? One? Yuck, don't offer
your hand to shake, just to cline. Two say that
you have a cold, so you're not shaking hands right now.
Three off or a fist bump or your elbow instead,
or four shake the person's hand, then wash your hands.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
At the soonest opportunity, I would say I have a
cold fist bump.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Believe it or not, They say you're supposed to shake
the hand and then wash your hand.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
No, it's more important than etiquette. I pretended I had
a cold? Is what of my answers?

Speaker 5 (43:41):
That's what I was, do have a cold?

Speaker 2 (43:43):
That's the most polite way to get out of You're
replying to a business associates email.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Is it appropriate to include a smile, thumbs up, heart,
or other emojis?

Speaker 5 (43:54):
They say no, But I'm a millennial, so I do anyway.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
It's you know, it says it's in appropriate and a
professional message words or that's appropriate to emoji's help. It
depends on how will you know the recipient? Or basic
emojis are fine?

Speaker 3 (44:06):
But also keep in mind I am pretty unprofessional, not
in this job, but the.

Speaker 5 (44:10):
Job I had before this.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
I changed my email signature to say surviving, not thriving.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Willis luda and to see how long it took someone
to notice. So which one do you think? Oh, you're
not supposed to send the emoji? I think it depends
on how well you know the bang.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, TJ guest from right, you can use it if
you're really close with the perpose.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
We know that TJ's better in business than we are,
right right, give you, I'll give you a coup more.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Your workplace doesn't have a strict dress code, is it
fine to wear sneakers, leggings, or jeans, as long as
they're styled nicely. Yes, yes, here's your choice. If the
company doesn't forbid it, anything goes. Even without a strict
dress code. Avoid items like sneakers, jeans, flip flops, or
leggings in lieu of a dress code that spells out dues,

(44:53):
and don'ts ask more senior colleagues what's acceptable and try
to emulate what your boss wears to work.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Those are your choices.

Speaker 5 (45:00):
Don't follow those rules. I don't care.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
I'm gonna wear what I want to wear.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (45:03):
I don't think you can just wear anything like that.
I think that's how it was phrased.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
But you know, I says, is it fine to wear sneakers, leggings,
are jeans as are styled?

Speaker 5 (45:12):
Yes, but it's gonna say emulate your boss.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Nope, it is correct. Oh, if it doesn't forbid it,
anything goes. Society's more casual now anyway. But the number
one choice was, uh, go ask somebody.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Oh, yes, fine answer. Yeah, I'll give you one more,
one more real quick.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Uh, you're working from home. There's no need to dress
up for zoom calls with the coworkers right choices. It
would be different if you were meeting of the colleagues
or upper management.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
No.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Things were more permissible during the pandemic, but these days
they are over dressed professionally when hopping on a call
or ask them meeting a host if there's a dress code.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
I would say, I mean, you don't have to dress professionally.
We have to dress decent and make sure you have
pants on in case you have to stand off.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
You learned that lesson.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
The correct answer is there is no need to dress up. Okay,
you guys, So you guys might have held onto your jobs.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
I'm not really sure. Yeah, it's definitely on the bubble.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Yeah, yeah, I'll give you. I want to give you
this one because I thought this was kind of interesting.
A colleague's body order. What's the best response? Number One,
Find a discreet way to tell the person about the
problem directly without involving others. Two, report to human resources.
Three tell your manager so the manager can dress it before.

(46:30):
You shouldn't say anything. You don't know what's going on
with that person's life.

Speaker 5 (46:33):
That is what I would do. I don't care if
that's right or wrong.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
I wouldn't address it at all because you don't know
medical issues, you don't know what's causing it.

Speaker 7 (46:40):
Well, personally, I think if I think you guys should
tell me because I don't.

Speaker 5 (46:43):
Want to be don't tell me. I don't want to know.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
The the The majority of people said, don't say anything, but
they say that, no, find a discreet way to tell
the person without involving others.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
That's less embarrassing.

Speaker 7 (47:00):
Yeah, for somebody to tell you directly, versus like having
to have a meeting, sit down, meeting.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
With your bros. And who called? Was it like several
people that called me out, you know, like.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
I'm just doing on this line, Like that'd be very
because sometimes you don't know, right, I don't want to know.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
You would want to know. You wouldn't want to know
if you stink.

Speaker 5 (47:22):
I mean, like listen, someone wants to.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Tell you if you stink.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
I know that I shower regularly, so if I'm smelling,
it's a different issue.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
And then it's something that's outside of my.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Control, not necessarily like sometimes you don't. Like for instance,
one day I had pants on that weren't dried, right
you know.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Oh yeah, I didn't know it. I knew, I knew
there was a smell somewhere, but I thought it was
somebody else coming from And in fact, I.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Said to somebody, I don't know who in this office
stinks or whatever, and the person said, it's you want
off you.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
I'd like to, I would like wouldn't you like to know? Yeah? Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Every time it's like I might not know bad breath.
I want to know baud breath. Yes, definitely, right pad breath,
I want to know.

It's The Morning mixed with Matt Harrison, Liz Luda.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
It's that time of year where there's parties and events
and family get togethers, and uh, there's some tips for
looking good in photos.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
I'm taking a mask for me, but.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Angle your body slightly, don't stand straight on for a photo.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
Yeah, I am so guilty of They called the millennial pose,
where you stand sideways and you.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
Look over your shoulder.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
That's the one that I do because if you get
me front on, I think I look wider than I do,
look fuller.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
The I don't have I can't.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
I can't shake it. It's so hard.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Drop your shoulders and take a breath.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
It helps you look less rigid and soften's your expression,
just rid of that tense photo face, all right, I
mean I do.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
I do giggling.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
You're so good. You are so good. You are because
you like try to help me when.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
We have to do pictures, because like I don't know
how to smile and not look crazy, and you do
that thing where you like just start laughing and then
I start laughing and then we look not better.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
But yes, find the best light.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Yeah yeah, yeah, lean in and create connection.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
If you're posing for a photo with close family of.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Friends, put your arm around someone or look it's hand.
Just don't show your hand right because then it looks
like the hand is like gigantic or whatever.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Yeah, a small child in your large hand.

Speaker 5 (53:59):
Yeah yeah, I can see that. I have used my
kid though to pose.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
If I have like sun like a stain on my shirt,
Like if I drop something while I was eating, I'll
like pretend to pick him up and hold him sideways
like it's a fun post notes because I've got my shirt.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Well, he do say, I act a bit silly, light
in the mood, and that's what I do. But I
does your kid like taking pictures?

Speaker 8 (54:21):
It depends my Situationally, I had a nephew just hated it,
and my aunt his poor mom would always have these
battles because my mom, God rest her soul.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
She don't get any pictures anymore. I wanted to have
a family picture we'd get together.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Our high was very important to her, right, it is
more important than it should be. And so if we
weren't in this, you know, if one kid was messing
up or whatever, she was doing her best or maybe
like thirty times when we forget it, so we near
the end of the day and blasted, oh why didn't
we do it when you guys weren't idiots. Hours people

(54:58):
switched into comfortable clothes. But kids, they don't want a
photo taken. No, it's And I remember one time I
did one where it was the old cameras right to
get developed. Yeah, and I was flipping off the camera. Yeah,
that punishment came late, Oh yeah hard.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
Yeah, you know what I think.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
I think it's so important to take like family photos
as well, because like it's so sad sometimes when you
look back and you're like, I wish I would have
gotten a picture with them while they were still here,
and like whatever. But at the same time, I think
when the kids are like acting up, if they're gonna
cry or make faces, just leave that in the photo.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
It's realistic, agreed, And I think you could just nowadays
with a camera. You don't need the posed thing. I
don't think, just take all these action shots during the day.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Right, and that's it. That's more memorable anyway. It's like
standing there by a tree, right. A post picture just
feels so fake.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
I will say this.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
For a long time, I was the person always taking
the photos and I was never in them. And then
after my sister died, I was like, you have to
make sure that you're in photos with other people. Yeah,
And that's when I started carrying a ring light in
the car with me. And so now whenever it's like
a photo moment, I'm like, hold on, let me go
get my.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
Tripod out of the cars and still guys will be
right back.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
I'll be right back, and people think I'm crazy, but
I'm like, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
I am in this photo. My brother's the guy.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
He's got the tripod and the timer, yes, and all
that stuff, and it is good, but it is good
to have it, but boy, there's some stressful time photo.
If not some of the little ones aren't it, it
can be crazy. Good Morning mixed with Matt Harris and
Liz Luda trends.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
What you got? Are you a grinch or a SpongeBob?

Speaker 3 (56:35):
I am well, I don't actually I don't know which
one you would go with. So on Tuesday, both Burger
King and McDonald's launch specialty items on their menu and
it is taken over social media where people are trying
the different meals, and so Burger King did a SpongeBob
thing for the new SpongeBob movie that's coming out to theaters,
where you can get a Crabby Whopper, which is a

(56:56):
whopper on a yellow bun, and then it comes with
mister Crabs, cheesy bacon tots, Patrick's Starberry short Cake pie,
and a Pirate's frozen Pineapple float and if you want
to get them all together, you can get it in.
The bikini bottom bundle is so cute because that's what

don't want to Google.

No Conversion is an under the sea box with collectible
SpongeBob toys and a special crown. And I've seen people
that are like doing it and like going and you
put the crown on and you eat it and.

It looks it looks great, right. I personally, though, aw
was a Grinch this.

Speaker 3 (57:33):

and they come in a special box and it's like
one of the adult happy meals.

then it comes with fries. And then the fries come
with a special Grinch bag and it comes with Grinch
seasoning salt or pickle salt, and then you can shake
your own fries in the bag and it makes it
look like it's got like little green salt on it
and it makes it taste piccoli. And it came in
this really cute box. But this is the reason they

got me that the toy that came with it was socks,
and they were Grinch socks. And there's four different ones.
There's a blue one, a green one, a yellow one,
and blue green, yellow, red, red. And I wanted that
blue pear of socks so bad.

And I got yellow, which is fine, but each feature.

I got it for my kid though. My kid got
the green socks, which are the Grinch. The yellow ones
are Lindy Sue who whatever her name is there we go.
I had it somewhere in my brain. And then the
blue ones though, the ones that I really really wanted,
have the little dog that looks like a weener dog
from the Reck.
