Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
In the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's The Morning mixed with Matt Harris and Liz Ludax.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
It's Monday.

Speaker 4 (00:07):
Yay, congratulations. We got a full week ahead of us,
and I'm gonna I'm gonna be all optimistic.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Are you ready?

Speaker 5 (00:13):
I'm ready.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
It's full of potential. Yes, that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
We're We're not morning the weekend or anything like that,
not whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
But it is gonna be kind of dreary today. It's
sixty five right now, the high's only seventy one, and
at noon rain is supposed to move in and then
it pretty much just stays all the way through Tuesday.

Speaker 6 (00:32):
So I'm happy about that. We need some rain, I know.
But it's cold this week.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Like Friday, the low is fifty one and the highest
seventy one.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Like we're in the seventies as highest.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
All right, we finally made it to fall.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
I think I would like more summer weather in the fall.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I think if we could make that happen.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
But I am excited to see it getting colder because
I jinxed.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Myself over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
I do not like bugs. I do not like them
at all, and last summer they were like no bugs
at my house. And it's because I had these ginormous
lizards that when I would show pictures to people, they'd
be like, I.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Think that's escaped pets, and I.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Was like, no, no, I think that they just belong here.
And at the beginning of the summer, they didn't show
up at my house. Right in the last three weeks,
maybe like mid August to now, all of a sudden,
my lizards started showing up again. And they're called an
ol e A Knowles or whatever, but some of mine
are like fourteen inches twelve inches, like they're pretty big.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
That's from tail to head, from.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Tail, yeah, including the long tail. And so I was like, yes,
they're gonna come and they're gonna kill the bugs. And
then this weekend I was talking to my kiddo and
he was talking about how to school they have centipedes
and he's like, oh, they're the worst. And I was like,
thank goodness, we don't have those, buddy, right, And it's
like I jinxed myself. Last night. I was lying in

(01:52):
bed and like something out of a horror movie or
The Never Ending Story, you.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Know that big puppet.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Oh yeah, centipede just started majestically going across my wall.

Speaker 6 (02:05):
You freaked out. I freak you're freaking out a little
right now.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
I mean, my husband handled it, but I was like,
there's got to be more. There's got to be more.
We need to find where this came from.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
But it's a centipede.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
And so now I feel like the lizards. They didn't
do their work. They didn't do their work. So I
need a cold snap to come. Not to scare the
lizards off, but because I'd like all the bugs to
just die.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I want them just to be done.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
They're doing their best. Okay, the lizards, you can't keep
up with it. That's why they're so big. It's because
there's so many bugs. Because I live right in front
of the woods and Gaston Counties. Lizards well they are,
they're whatever. They're living their best life. But I'm disappointed
in them. And I know that that's a weird thing
to say that I'm disappointed at a lizard, but I
stayed by it. Yeah, Celebrity birthdays are powered by Mark

(02:55):
Spain Real Estate. We are still in a Libra season
and Holsy just gives leebra vibes. I don't know what
it is about her, but she definitely does. And every
time you say Halsey, I feel like people are like,
what is the song she sings? Well, she's had so
many hits, including this one.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
But she can't name made.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Let's try in.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I love this song. It's like one of my favorites.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
I just vibe with it in the background her I
really like it. And then she also had the song
Closer with Chainsmokers.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
So happy birthday, Halsey.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Also, I don't usually do the sports, this says, but
Kevin Durant is thirty seven and apparently he played basketball
for Oklahoma City Thunder.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
But what I remember him.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
For is when he went viral for when an interaction
with a reporter who forgot their question.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Sorry I forgot my question. I won't waste your.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Time, damn.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Hey.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
I feel.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
I got a couple of plays in that.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
I love that because, like you know, like that might
have been and I don't know, I'm filling it and right,
this is all based on just my emotional gut it
as somebody that's like had to interview people before. Sometimes
you just get really nervous, right, and you just panic.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
And so the fact that guy was like I don't remember.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
Yeah, or when the time comes it you just go
completely blank. It's just like I had everything and it's
not there anymore.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Everything.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
And so the fact that he kind of like treated
it like a joke, and you know, I think that
was pretty cool with him. Unless I'm misinterpreting the entire
thing and he was making fun of him, I'm.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Not only showed.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
And then also Christy Metz is forty five. She was
Kate Pearson on This is Us and she talked about
doing a reunion one day.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
If everybody who was involved, certainly I'd be up for it.
I think the magic of the show was the dynamic
of everybody, including Dan Felgelman, who was the writer creator.
So if that was the case and he was a
part of it and wanted to do it and wrote
it and had all of the old involved.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah I don't want this. No, Yeah, absolutely do not.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
And it's one of those shows. I loved This is
Us when it first came out. Every single week I
was emotionally wrecked by an episode. Yeah, and then it was.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Like I can't deal with this anymore.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
You know. I was there for the crock Pot episode
and then I think I made it one more season
and I never finished the show because I was like,
you can't do this to yourselfless.

Speaker 6 (05:28):
I think you can do reunions on like a sitcom
or a lighter show, you know, like the Brady Bunch
Christmas Special for you know, like stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Where the Brady's get married.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
You've got like a heavy dramatic show like that. That's
hard to do.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
I mean, I think they could do it.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I'm just saying I can't emotionally handle it. I can't
do any more tears. You got all that you can
get from me. Brian Gumbele is seventy seven to day.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
And finally, it's.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
National Coffee Day, okay, which feels like a very important
holiday because so many of us run on coffee.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
Myself included. You drink a pot before you ever get here.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
I do, and I don't have like a full size pot.
I should go ahead and say that I have like
one of those little mini pot things or whatever. So
I think it's like the equivalent of three cups. Okay,
but that's all I drink all day. But I have
a really disgusting way I do it. I pour it
into a cup and then I had ice so that
it's a room temperature, and then I just chug it.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
That is pretty gross.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
And I think it's because I started with like one cup,
and then one day one cup wasn't good enough, right,
it had to be two.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
And this is just where I've gotten.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
And I don't actually enjoy drinking coffee.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
I don't like it. It's just it's a necessity.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Now, are you a creamer person, though, I feel like
you would be.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
No.

Speaker 6 (06:38):
I like coffee every way, like you can give it
to me black, you can give it to me super sweet,
like I love it.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
I just chug it. I don't even like coffee flavored
ice cream. Actually think I don't actually like coffee.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
I just really love coffee flavored ice cream as much.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
During Mixed Matt Harris lis Luda, We've got an attack squirrel, Okay,
and by we, I mean it's not us.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Is in San Francisco Bay.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
There's like a neighborhood, but it's making headlines. And it's
because this squirrel has sent at least two people to
the er. What And a woman described her encounter, and
she said it seemingly came out of nowhere and then
just tried to climb up her leg and then she
tried to like shake herself free, and it would just
clench on and just stay there. And so what's happening

(07:25):
is officials say they think someone was feeding the squirrel.
So now whenever the squirrel sees a person with food,
that squirrel's going to do what it takes to get that, right.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yeah, that's why they tell you don't feed the animals.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
I mean, like, I'm not gonna play like I don't
have a bird feeder that my squirrels climb like they do.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
Yeah, right, that's different. They've got to work for that.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, and you know, I appreciate a chonky squirrel in
my backyard. I'll watch it do work whatever.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
But they said somebody was feeding it.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
And so now when it sees a snack, so imagine
you have to like change your entire life around. Now.
You can't be walking down a street eating a corn doll,
you know what I mean, No snacks allowed. And then
this also makes me a weird lady.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
But sometimes I carry bird seed in my purse.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
What just in case, like I see some birds that
look hungry, it does.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Don't worry about it. Crows can remember you. They remember
your face and they teach the other crows.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
It's a thing, and so I'm I can't not that
I was planning on going to California, but I could
never walk this neighborhood because think it would sniff me
out and.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
Be like you got bird scene in there? Yeah, what's happening.
I know you're you're scared of squirrels, right, No, no,
you're not only the attack ones.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
I guess.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
No, I'm not even I'm not even scared, Like I
obviously don't want to be attacked by a squirrel.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
I didn't even know this was feasible.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
I didn't either, But of all the things, I was
about to give you some justification because of all the
ridiculous things you are afraid of.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Mostly bugs, okay, mostly bugs.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Other wildlife doesn't really bother me, you know, Like I
don't think I could take a bear town, you know.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
I like to keep a safe distance, healthy fear, and respect.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
I think.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, when I say I enjoy animal life, I mean
sometimes I just park in my car by the woods
and I leave the windows up and I turn the
car off and I just wait until they like, don't
suspect me, and they emerge, and then I watch them
that way like I'm a weirdo. With wildlife. But apparently
they've had to post warning signs up throughout this neighborhood
that says, quote very mean squirrel that comes out of

(09:18):
nowhere has attacked five people and they're letting a warning
out don't walk and snack. And I feel like that
ruins my social life. So thank goodness this is not
happening in the streets of Gaston County, because if it was,
I don't.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
Know if I could deal lifestyle changes.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
I don't know, like, how can you go for a
walk without a snack? You know, yeah, you never snack
with for a walk.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Oh never.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Sometimes I'm trying to get my steps and I think
I'm being counterproductive because I'm eating a string cheese as
I go. Rory makes Matt Harris, Liz Luda, Lunacy.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
I spend a lot of time on the Internet.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
I find a lot of weird things, and it turns
out you can still have a unique experience.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Okay, really quick.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
Before I into that, though, I do want to let
you know. Just after seven, we have your chance to
win exclusive movie premiere.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Tickets for Taylor Swift's Party of a Showgirl.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
It's gonna be at Northlake mal AMC fourteen Cinemas this Saturday,
and it's like a mixed one oh seven to nine premiere,
So it's gonna be basically everyone that wins and then
us and I've been working on my bracelets, so coming
up after seven for your chances winning.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
That a chance to win after nine o'clock as well.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah look at that, look at you coming in there
at the end.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
So it started out this one lady made a video
and I just thought maybe she's got some unique taste buds.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
And she decides to share what her.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Girl dinner is, and people argued in the comments, this
is not a girl dinner. But she microwaves some pasta,
all right, good start, drains the pasta and says.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
I don't know why this is so good.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
I know we all love this, and then she adds
a can of baked beans to it, now like British
bake beans, like straight up brown sugar baked beans. Okay,
And I was like, you know what, that might honestly
be delicious. Okay, I'm here, I'm here.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Then she proceeds to put some shredded cheese on it,
and she takes a bike and she's like, oh, it's
so good.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
We're almost there. We're almost there. So then she.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Adds fresh black pepper.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
And you're like, oh, okay, I see this. This is
going somewhere. And she goes, oh, you know what it needs.
It needs mayonnaise.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
So then she gets out a thing of mayonnaise and
just squirts it all over the top and she takes
a bike and she's like, oh, that's good. That's good.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
So she makes the mayonnaise eg no, she just leaves.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
It streaky on top, and then she's like, now, the
best way to eat this is she has cut an
onion to make these little raw onion bowls, and she
begins scooping the pasta into these onion bowls and eating them,
and she's like, oh, it's so good. Okay, we got
to take it to the next level. First off, I
need more mayonnaise. So then she adds even more mayonnaise,
and then she's scooping it and she's eating it in

(11:50):
the onions and she's like, oh, it's just so good.
Let me put a little bit of soy sauce on here.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
So then she adds soy sauce and it's like.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
The entire time you're watching open mouth, like what are
you gonna add next? At what point did I predict
what was about to be added to this? And I
was like, Okay, this is somebody that just has a
very interesting taste, right right. And so other people that
saw it they were like, I don't know, I'm gonna
try it. And so at first I was like, are

(12:18):
they just doing this for views? But all these people
are like, this is actually really good? And so now
people are arguing like, well, maybe it's because, like you know,
the mayonnaise is like an aoli and you know, you
put people put eggs and things and the different pasta sauces,
and maybe it just works. And now I'm intrigued. I'm
so intrigued I'd like to try it. I don't like

(12:39):
graw onion saud I four onions.

Speaker 6 (12:41):
In general, I'm a mayonnaise fan, but having it just
on top feels weird to me, for one.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
And then the onion bowl I'm definitely out.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
On, and baked beans and cheese and pasta and soy sauce.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
See yeah, yeah, the soy sauce I'm also out of.
I'm good with the noodles and the baked beans and
the beans and the cheese, like, I'm definitely down with that,
but everything else is like ah.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
And so as I saw that, I thought, wow, well
that's something. So one be emotionally prepared because there's a
good chance you're going to run into this if you're
scrolling the internet anytime in the next few days. The
other thing I saw is loaded cereal. I know, all
I do is talk about food, but the algorithm hits
how it hits right, right exactly. I wish Matt's out today,
but he does this, and he's finally going to get

(13:26):
the recognition he deserves because this woman is going viral
for her loaded cereal. And what she does is she
starts with a bowl, she puts in honeynut cheerios, then
she slices strawberries and bananas, right.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Okay, yeah, and then she.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Melts peanut butter and drizzles it over the top and
then adds the milk. And I had never heard of
this until about two weeks ago when Matt told us
he takes a spoon of peanut butter and puts it
on the side for snacking in the middle of a cereal,
or he'll do it with nutella. Yeah, So he was
ahead of the trend, right, and I will say it
does look amazing.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
That's so much effort for cereal. The reason you have
cereals because it's easy. You just poured it into the ball.
You add the milk and you go.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
But when you're adding all these old extra.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
For you to cut a piece of produce, I.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
Don't know, but it should just be a.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Banana in a strawberry Jay don't want to work.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
You don't want to Oh my gosh. All right, anyway,
the morning.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
With Matt Harris and Liz Luda.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
It's all right, we're gonna dive straight into am I
the problem? But first, we just gave away tickets for
our movie premiere to Taylor Swift's Party of a Showgirl
for this Saturday, October fourth at Northlake mal AMC fourteen Cinemas.
Huge congratulations to Robin from Monroe. Cannot wait to see

(14:43):
you there. It's gonna be a really, really great time.
And we're gonna have your chance to win tickets into
our premiere again just a little after nine this morning.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
But am I the problem this morning?

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Says Madden Lisz am I the problem for not getting
my friend a divorce gift she sent out formal invites
to her divorce celebration, which I was totally fine supporting,
but it included an RSVP and honestly.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Looked like a wedding invite.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
On top of that, it included where she was registered.
I thought it was a joke, but by other friends
say it's rude to show up empty handed. The point
of the divorce party is not only to celebrate, but
also help her furnish her new place because her ex
husband got to keep most of their stuff. I think
it's ridiculous to be expected to buy a woman in
her forties a toaster, and I the problem. I'm gonna

(15:33):
let you take this first, TJ, because you're the.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Only one of us divorced.

Speaker 5 (15:36):
Yes, I think you are the problem.

Speaker 6 (15:38):
You're going You're trying to support your friend who she
went out there and asked for help basically with this registry. Now,
if she's got, like I don't know, designer clothes and
something like that, you know, five hundred inch TVs on there,

(15:59):
then that's a whole another thing versus like like it
was mentioned, a toaster. If you're trying to rebuild your life,
like you need some help from your friends.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
I'm gonna be honest, though, I'm going a little fatigued
with all these gifts we got to give for everything.
Graduation gift for when you got the wedding shower, the
gift for when you get married, the gift when you
get divorced, the gift for the baby shower, the gift
for the baby, Like all these things, these presents are
adding up, and it's a really good thing.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
I don't have a lot of friends, is true. I
don't think I could afford.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
All the friends right now because of everybody's life events.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
And so I feel like, a maybe if it was.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Just implied instead of expected, And I think that's where
the tacky part comes in, to like send the registration,
because usually I'm all for it.

Speaker 6 (16:43):
But like, now, what if she was like, hey, people
are asking, hey, can I bring you something?

Speaker 5 (16:51):
And then you're like, it's easier to just make a registry.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
I mean I get that, Yeah, but maybe if you
maybe presented it as more of a housewarming party or Okay,
you know, so depending on location, if it's not at
her house, the money you spent on the party, you
probably could have bought a blender.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
You mentioned housewarming parties, People move several times in their
life and have housewarming parties where a gift is somewhat expected.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Am I wrong there?

Speaker 4 (17:22):
I believe so, But usually it's not you know, over
fifty dollars.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
No, that's true. Well do we know for sure that
that's on there? We don't.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
Yeah, the rim, you know, it does matter what's on there. Like, yeah,
I'm not new tires for your car or something like that,
but like.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
I don't register for that.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
I didn't even register for anything.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Like yeah, if it's like towels, I'll be like, now,
does it have to be a specific design? Because I
did see a sale the other day.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
Right exactly, I'll saw some five and below towels.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
You know what, though I thought of this, I never
thought of this. I put it up on our social
media mixed one oh seven nine, and we comment from
someone who basically said that as someone who didn't want
to get divorced when they're X through a divorce party,
that it really hurt them that instead of like celebration

(18:13):
of new beginning, the fact that they called a divorce
party they were not very fond of, and so like,
I guess that could hurt your feelings, especially if you're
like splitting friends down the middle.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
Right, Yeah, that's very true.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
And then who do you decide to give the toaster
to because now they're both without half the stuff, So
do you have to make a present for each one
of them? Yeah, that's so that's where it starts to
get a little complicated, you know, like who gets to
keep the friend and who gets the friend gift?

Speaker 5 (18:40):
Right?

Speaker 4 (18:41):
So many unanswered questions, so many divorce parties happening. But
I think seven oh four, five seven oh one oh
seven nine Morning Mikes Matt Harris, Liz Luda, producer TJA.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Talking about am I the problem?

Speaker 4 (18:52):
She did not get her friend a divorce gift and
is wanting to know issue the problem?

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Five seven oh one oh seven nine to mix.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Who's this?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
That's a shara?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
What do you think?

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Well?

Speaker 1 (19:06):
I have to agree. I mean, I don't mind helping
my friends, but if I feel like I'm being made
to or putting somebody putting a guilt trip on me
because I didn't pick something, you know that's off the list.
And then you got to also think about, well, if
I don't pick note in the middle price gift, am

(19:26):
I chief O look down on me? I'm one of
those tot of people that I wanted to be up
to me what kind of gift I want to give
to you? And you can make a suggestion, but I
don't know about making, you know, demand, It's kind of
like demanding that you bring on something.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Maybe I'm the problem.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
No, I feel you because we compared it to a
housewarming gift earlier, and I think I might be cheap
because if I bring you a housewarming gift, usually it's
a casserole and a Pyres dish, and then the gift is.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
You get to keep the castrole dish.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
Oh that's great.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
I don't know if that really works to something though,
or I'm just really cheap well.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Now, because those para dish are not cheap, I mean,
and yet they'll use that for ever for everything, right,
I mean, that's pretty brilliant. But yeah, I just don't know.
I don't know if I want. That's just weird, I
guess because I'm from Oklahoma and I moved down here
about five years ago. They do things a lot different here.

(20:25):
I've never heard of a divorce party. It may be
a hall warning.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
Thanks for starting your day with the morning miss, It's.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
The morning mixed with Matt.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
Harrison and now here's your latest pop updat.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Oh my gosh, there's so much to cover right now.
It's powered by Mark Spain Real Estate. But Selena Gomez
and Benny Blanco got married over the weekend. Pictures are
starting to come out. It looks like a very nice
ceremony and wedding. I'm a huge fan of both of that.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
I love them so much.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, Taylor Swift was there, Ed Shearon, Steve Martin, Martin Short,
Paul Rudd, Paras Silton, like a whole bunch of different people,
big celebrity guest list.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
And I just I don't know. I think I think
they're super cute.

Speaker 6 (21:05):
Yes, if you ever saw their episode of Hot Ones together,
it was great.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
Yeah, where they eat the hot wings, you know.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, Yeah, that one's super durable.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
I did before Benny Blanco began dating Slena Gomez. He
is actually the worst celebrity interview that I've ever done.
And it wasn't him, It was me. It was one
hundred percent me. It was during COVID and I was
trying to do it on zoom and my kid was
zooming in the background, just running around. It was like
that thing that went viral with the guy who was

(21:35):
trying to do the news. You see his kid and
then like the wife run in or the mom run in.
You see like my husband dive in the background and
try to pull him out.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
It was it was a giant mass.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
Also, Oh my goodness, Dolly Parton, Delli Parton. So she
posted publicly last night to her Instagram basically saying that
she has to postpone her upcoming Las Vegas concerts. She said, quote,
as many of you know, I've been dealing with some
health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must
have a few procedures. As I joke with them, it

(22:06):
must be time for my one hundred thousand mile checkup,
although it's not my usual trip to see my plastic surgeon.
And all seriousness, given this, I'm not going to be
able to rehearse and put together the show that I
want you to see and the show that you deserve
to see. You pay good money to see me perform,
and I want to be at my best for you.
And then she says she'll still be working on some

(22:27):
projects in Nashville, and she says, don't worry about.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Me quitting the business.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
God hasn't said anything about stopping yet, but I believe
he's telling me to slow down right now so I
can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.
I love you, Thank you for your understanding. And then
it's signed by Dolly and Dolly.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
You do whatever you do, Absolutely you.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Whatever it takes to get to get back in tiptop shape.
We support you, even if that means it's a little
while until we see you again. That's fine. You stay
healthy and you take care of you. You've had quite
a year.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
And then this is the big story.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
All right, Bad Bunny is the twenty twenty six halftime
performer for the Super Bowl, and so it was announced
last night.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
But the rumor is he.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Wasn't the first choice. They're saying originally they were in
talks with Taylor Swift. And there's this scandal every single
year that people seem to be shocked to learn, even
though it happens every year. The halftime performers do not
get paid to perform. They are paid in what is
called exposure, and so usually the idea is if somebody's

(23:31):
trying to promote an album or a tour, they do
the halftime show and it gives their career boost and
then it gives.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Them some bragging rights.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
And so allegedly Taylor Swift came to the conversation and
was like, I'll do this.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
But you have to pay me.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
And they were like, but the exposure, and Taylor Swift
was like, I don't need the exposure. I can bring
you more audience. You're not probably gonna bring me more ideas.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
You can just go to her boyfriend's football game. Yeah,
get a thesure she needs.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
And so it's one of those things where you're kind
of like, oh, but then you're also like, you know what,
good for you, Taylor, because the idea is they probably
didn't want to set a precedent. Well, if we pay Taylor,
then next year we got to pay.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
The next person.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
And so I think it's cool that Bad Bunny is
going to be doing the halftime show. Bad Bunny is international,
a super super famous. I think he's hosted SNL like
twice at this point. He has got so many different hits,
but a lot of his music it's Latin, a lot
of it is in Spanish, and so it might be

(24:31):
some things that some people aren't as familiar with.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
But he does these huge shows.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
He's been really famous for a long time, so I
think it's going to be a great show. But that
being said, if you could pick anybody for a super
Bowl halftime show, who would you pick? Seven oh four
or five? Seven oh one oh seven nine. I know
we got Bad Bunny this year, but Morning Micks, Matt Harris,
Les Luda, producer TJ. It was announced yesterday that Bad

(24:57):
Bunny is our super Bowl halftime performer for twenty twenty six.
And as somebody that's not really into sports that says
that halftime show is what I'm there for.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
It used to be the commercials in the.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Halftime show, but then they started showing all the commercials early,
like two weeks leading into it and hosting them online.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
And so that's like, ah whatever, And so Bad Bunny.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
I'm not as familiar with his music as I know
a lot of people are, and I'm sure he's gonna
do an amazing job.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
I'm in no way hating.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
I do know that there were rumors that they were
in talks with Taylor Swift and then they were going
to pay her, and she said I deserve pay and.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
She doesn't worked for free anymore.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, and so they went on.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
And so I think though every year when this happens,
I stop and think about what my dream super Bowl
halftime show would be. And the closest I've ever gotten
to it is the one that had in Sync and
Britney Spears, oh and Aerosmith a classic. That one was
really great, And I think like if we did one
even in twenty twenty six where we reunited in sync,
even if Justin doesn't come, I mean, he's done it

(25:59):
enough times at this point, right.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, I'd be game. It'd be one hundred percent game.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
Definitely.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
I'd be game to see Backstree boys.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
I mean they just did that whole sphere.

Speaker 5 (26:07):
Thing around here, Yeah, and they Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Let's get them out there. But more than anything, I'd
like to see a lady. I feel like it's been
very dude centric for the last few years. And it's
not that I have anything against that or anything, but like,
I mean, we had Snoop Dog, we had The Week,
and we've had like it's just very all right.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
It's been more like a woman was featured as opposed
to being the show.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
Except for Rihanna.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, there was Rihanna, and then we did have j
Loo and Shakira, which apparently was in twenty twenty. I
thought that was a lot longer ago. Apparently not, But
you know, I think would do a really great job.
Ariana Grande Oh okay, she's had enough hits. She could
get up there and keep it going. She could bring
out guest artists. And then I also feel like with

(26:57):
everything because Wicked the movie will have come out, Yes,
maybe we could bring a little musical theater to it
as well.

Speaker 6 (27:04):
Hey, that would be a good Like you'd have the
show aspect like already built in.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
That would be pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
I think that would be an awesome person who's yours?

Speaker 5 (27:13):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (27:14):
So I was thinking like a rock band like I
think Green Day would be great because they'd bring back
that there's a big like nineties nostalgia. I guess, yeah,
resurgent right now. I think that would be great. But
then I was thinking, where is mister Worldwide?

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Ok?

Speaker 3 (27:32):
We need pit Bull?

Speaker 5 (27:33):
He does features on everybody's songs.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
He could just be picking and choosing who he's bringing out.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
And the thing is is I feel like Pipple is
underappreciated because you saw pipoll for the first time this summer, Yes,
and you said it was amazing.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
I was at most like, oh, yeah, Piple's fine, Like
I like those songs. I saw him live at the
the Love and Life Music Festival, Yeah, and it was incredible.
He puts on such a great show. I was all in,
I love.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
This, Yes, I can get down with that.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
I'm thinking about shaving my head because of Pitbull.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
Okay, I feel like, once you're over the age of
thirty five as a gentleman to not have a receding hairline,
that you're almost mocking the universe. But can you do
what you need to do. That's fine, whatever you need
to do. But the other one, too, is I think
it's time for maybe a little bit of the emo
shmimo music, you KnowBe even Fallout Boy, because Fallout Boys

(28:28):
commercial enough. They've had enough hits, yeah that I feel
like we could all be moving and groove in with that,
and we're kind of starting to see that scene emo
fashion slowly start to work its way back in with
some of that nineties early two thousands like Romance. Yeah, yeah,
I think that could be really good or even Panic

(28:50):
at the Disco. I know that they're on a break
or whatever. Aka Brendan Yuri the like only remaining member I.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Believe at the site, Yes, but I think it'd be good.
So I think there's so many options out there.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
So if you could see anybody get up there, I mean,
we'll we'll open this up dead or alive. If you
could make the perfect show, who would you pick? Seven
oh four or five, seven oh one oh seven nine
Morning Makes Matt Harris, Liz Luda. I spent the entire
day making Halloween costumes yesterday and making videos wearing them.
And I know that sounds super silly, but a little

(29:22):
bit of background. Back in like twenty seventeen, I had
gone like Tuggar treating with my kid, and none of
the parents were dressed up except for me that I
encountered like out in the neighborhood. And I just made
me sad, because when you're a kid and you're growing up,
especially if you watch like sitcoms in the nineties, I
always thought holidays would be a bigger deal in the workplace. Yes,

(29:43):
they were always so decorated. There was always people wearing
costumes doing all these things, and I just thought, I'm
going to start a movement to try to make really easy,
cheap costumes that people can make with stuff lying around
their house, just on the way out the door, because
I know it's expensive, and if you have to choose
between your costume and your kids, you're always going to choose.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Your kids, right absolutely.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
And so I started making these really ridiculous punny Halloween
costumes because I also love puns and they're super silly,
and I just started posting them and then it just
kind of had like a snowball effect to the point
where there is a picture of me wearing a trash
bag like a dress, and on it it is just

(30:25):
covered with pictures of Eminem.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
The wrapper and the costume is I'm a bag.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Of Eminem's perfect And in the last months that's been
seen by sixteen million different people.

Speaker 5 (30:37):
That's incredible.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
And so when you stop the things about the fact
right numbers that sixteen million people have seen that costume
and maybe they'll go out and do it.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
And it's pretty much free as long.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
As you got a trash bag, some scissors, and a
printer at work that they don't realize you're using all
the color ink out of you can make your dreams
come true. And so I do all these really silly ones.
Even if you get on Google or any social media.
If you type in punny costume, punny Halloween costume, I'm
all over the results. I'm usually like the top, like
seven things that populate for it.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
That's a good run, right there.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Yeah, And so now there's like all this pressure though.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
Because since I've been doing it for so long, I've
got hundreds of them. And every year in October, I
wear a different one every single day. So that's why
there's been so many of them that I've accumulated. So
every day I wear a different one to give you
an idea of something you could wear if you're not
really a costume person, or you can wear to the workplace.
They're all family friendly, like it is what it is.

(31:35):
But now I feel like there's all this pressure built up.
We're on the internet.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
I'm known as this punny Halloween costume lady.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
And I have to keep coming up with new puns,
right and literally I have an app, like my Little
notes app.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
On my phone.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
I have a document that I just keep running all
year long whenever like somebody says something that I'm like
that could be a punny costume.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
And so I used to.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
Do them like every single day in October. I would
wear them to the workplace until the time I got
rained on, and then then I didn't have the costume,
and it's.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Just like a whole deal, right, and it was just whatever.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
So now what I do is I just film them
all ahead of time, just in a giant like run
or whatever. And I spent several hours doing that yesterday.

Speaker 6 (32:18):
Because you had to like build your studio in your
in your living I'm using air quotes for studio, but
you're filming studio in your living room, so you had
to destroy your living room.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
It's yeah, it's in shambles.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
So I have a sectional and it got like broken
down into little pieces and it's all pushed against one
wall so that I can stand in front of a
blank wall and it's just me, a ring light and
my husband and he says, I'm bossy and I'm amazing.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
So this long in our marriage for him to catch
on to that.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
But so I just doing all these costumes and I'm
super excited. So if you want to follow along just
for like some ideas, I'm posting old ones right now.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
I'm Liz Luda.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Luda on Facebook is where they seem to get the
most traction. And if you've recently seen a lady dressed
like a reading rainbow or a bag of Eminem's or
a role.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Model, which I'm proud of that when I put King's.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Hawaiian roles all over my body and then modeled them,
that's me. And I just put silly stuff up there.
And know that I worked really really hard on this
year's just because.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
The bar the bandage is you work on it all year.
That's what's impressive.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
I know, And you know what, I still need like
three more ideas. So also, if you've got a punny costume,
I've been done yet.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
In the morning, it's the Morning mixed with Matt Harrison
Liz Luda.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
There's something going around right now called millennial blindness, and
it is that millennials cannot understand the trends of gen z. Now.
I will take a moment to say, whoever the youngest
generation is, they always think whatever the generation above them
is wearing is just oh my gosh, absolutely hideous and
so cringe right. Like I remember, even when I was younger,

(34:03):
if I saw anybody with like a.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Light colored pair of pants or acid.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Wash anything, I was like, ooh, But you get older,
you mature. But there's all these reaction videos that are
going around on TikTok and it's gen Z showing how
to take a millennial fashion and restyle it so that
it's fashionable or trendy. And the biggest complaint that's happening
is millennials going, well, wait a second, why is everything

(34:29):
so baggy? Why do you want it to be so baggy? Right?
And then you know the commentary of like, these are
probably the best years of your life right now you
want to show that off which you got. Like, once
gravity starts to kick in, everything changes. And I secretly
loved the baggy from the gen Z because I never
realized how luxurious it was to just wear a sports

(34:51):
barad or everything. I don't need any proper support at all.
And the thing is is you can't tell well, I
mean you might could, but yeah, my t shirts so
baggy that I'm like, if it feels good in this size,
why not size up three more?

Speaker 6 (35:05):
As someone who wore the super baggy jeans for a
really long time, like way past when they were popular
the first time, they're just bad, Like just don't do that.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
They get caught on everything.

Speaker 6 (35:18):
Yeah, like they're gonna drag in the wet rain, you know,
like it's the danger.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Yeah, yeah, that is.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
That's why I come back to my millennial roots and
I say, you just wear that legging in a boot.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
There you go, and you don't have to worry about anything,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yeah, And so that's the other thing too, is like,
you know, everything right now is like these oversized trousers
for the gen Z versus millennials. But I'm telling you,
if we could just bring these two worlds together, there
is nothing better than a sweatshirt that is like three
sizes too large and then you pair it with a legging.
You still got full range of motion. You're not getting

(35:54):
the damp pants. Yeah, you still got the oversize so
you can.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Wear the sports bra.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
I am living for the and I think we just
need to come together in the middle and we need
to meet on this.

Speaker 5 (36:03):
Plus, my butt looks amazing and leggy.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Well, then I'm not giving them up. I went so
long for when they weren't trendy.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
I was out there and.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
I know I've said this before, but I was one
of the first people that said, no, leggings are pants,
and I showed my butt a lot in my youth,
and I did that for future generations, and I'm not
going to let them lose that. I put a lot
of hard work and I got a lot of judgmental
stairs for it. So I refuse the other thing I
saw though, that I got so overwhelmingly excited about. And

(36:33):
this is so dumb that I would get so excited.
I have been a thrifter for a really long time,
and growing up, my grandma used to have these things
that they were her cigarette packs, and it was like
a purse and you'd open it and you'd put the
pack of cigarettes in it, you'd close it, and then
in the front you could put like your ID in cash.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
Yeah, and they've all been donated.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
So as you walk the thrift stores, you see them
everywhere and you're like, oh, what's going to happen to them?

Speaker 3 (36:58):
They're just now going to the fill. They're wasted. They
have come around and.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
They have second life now okay, and they fit your
phone perfectly excellent. So if you want, and I hope
this trend doesn't catch on too quickly, I'm trying to
give you a hot tip. If you go to a
secondhand thrift store and you need a good wristlet or
something to carry your phone in, bring back Grandma's smoking purse,
smoking wallet.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
I don't even know what they're called. Would you choose
love over money?

Speaker 4 (37:26):
It's the Morning Mix about Harris Lis Luda, and there's
this survey that came out. And usually I'm like, surveys whatever,
who knows who they're asking, right, right, But it's said
fifty three percent of people said love is more important
than money.

Speaker 5 (37:39):
How much money?

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Well, then sixty three percent said they'd marry for love,
even if it meant a lifelong financial struggle.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
Nope, really no more.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
No more.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
You're like, I'm trying to marry rich now, r if
I'm marrying, I'm marrying somebody.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah, beg account.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
I think this is great though, I and so, oh
there was this pool it was USA Today, so so whatever.
But they said most people would choose love over over
the finances.

Speaker 5 (38:08):
Okay, and oh.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
They also went on.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
To say that thirty percent of Americans would consider getting
back together with an X if that person happened to
become rich.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
Ooh, I don't know about that either.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
I mean, if you're not currently married or with somebody,
it might be easy, you know what I mean, like
if they just go on the lottery, you know, it
depends on which X you know, I can I can
see that. But if they just won for like five
hundred million.

Speaker 6 (38:34):
Like, yeah, so some love can be found for five
hundred million.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
I think I'm very sure though, if they have five
hundred million, they'd be like, hmmm, no, I can get ready.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
Yeah, they'd be picking somebody besides me.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
But I would.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
I would pick for love one hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
Pick for love because like my husband when we got together,
I mean he's he was a police officer.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
I mean that's not.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Really very lucrative.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
No, no, not at all.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
I'd even think about I was so dumb anything about
anything financial at all until I got more established in
a relationship and then I was like, oh, we'll be fine.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Aready a savings.

Speaker 6 (39:10):
Account and those things are pretty important for the future.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
Yeah, you know, I mean if like an emergency pops up,
that's what a credit card's.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
For, right, Yeah, I'm like the worst.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
Advice ever for anything money.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
That's what I'm always like, I.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
Probably should, I probably should study finances a little bit financial. Yeah,
no charge, that's fine, No advice for me, none whatsoever.
Because then you're gonna spend the day playing. I don't
know is this a spam call or a creditor. Either way,
you're getting locked. Yes, morning makes Matt Liz, producer TJ.

(39:45):
And I'm thinking about doing something really cringe. I do
it maybe, But first, you had your high school class
reunion over the weekend and you didn't go.

Speaker 6 (39:53):
Yes, the Clover High School class of two thousand and
five had their celebration, and I was playing a show
in Wilmington.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
You're already booked elsewhere. I'll see what have gone, right.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
I didn't get an invite.

Speaker 6 (40:06):
I didn't see the invite until like two weeks before,
so I'd already had this booked for.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
A long time. But yeah, I may have gone maybe, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
And I think that's part of the issue is I
think people aren't seeing the invites, and so this is
where I get a little cringe. So my high school
reunion is also coming up, okay, and it was announced
via a Facebook event.

Speaker 5 (40:29):
Right, That's that's how mine was as well.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
And I don't think everybody has that notification turned on, right,
And so you know, I'm not one of those people
that's like, oh my gosh, let me relive my glory
days because like listen, I was overweight, acne and just
like socially awkward, pretty much exactly what I am now.
And I it's not that it's that I moved away.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
I moved away.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
So I grew up in Stanley County and you know,
right down the road, and I lived cross country and came.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Back like a couple of years ago.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
And so I I literally haven't seen anyone from high
school in well over fifteen years. I've got one friend
from high school who did come to my wedding and
she was like my bestie, but we've only seen each
other maybe like once every five years since graduating. Okay,
so that's the only person. And so I'm genuinely curious.

(41:22):
I just like to see some people. And so I
don't know if the people that have always just lived here.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
It's like, well I ran into them at Walmart last week.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
I have no desire, right, but I just want to
And so I like keep kind of checking this Facebook
event invite, which sounds so.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Silly because I don't know why I'm so into this and.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
It's only got twelve people RSVP.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
Yeah, and I'm.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
From a small town, so like, statistically Okay, that's not
that small of my graduating class. But like, I think
everyone's not seeing it. So I started out the lame
on Friday. I was like, well, this person here, I
haven't seen them in twenty years, and so I sent
them a Facebook message and was just like, hey, I
saw that, you know, our class reunions coming up, and
you have it RSVP, like I'm doing the work of

(42:05):
the people putting the event all right now. And they're like, oh,
I didn't even know what was happening. And I was like, yeah, yeah, here,
let me take a screenshot of the event, and I
sent it and they were like, yeah, maybe I'll come.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
And then I was like, I think people just don't know.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
So then I started a Facebook like little group chat,
and then I just added a few people that were
in band with me, because of course I was in
band in high school, of course, and I was.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Like, hey, hey, did you guys see we have a reunion?
Are you gonna come?

Speaker 5 (42:29):
Are you gonna come?

Speaker 3 (42:29):
I'd like to see you please.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Yeah. Almost everybody said the same thing. I didn't even
know we had one, and so I'm thinking about maybe
trying to make like a Facebook status.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
It's like hello, people from my school.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
But then I'm also like does that make me look
weird and desperate?

Speaker 3 (42:43):
And just like, oh, not at all.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
That's the whole point of a reunion is to see
people you want to see.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Yeah, and you know, like it's there's there's a couple
of people that are RSVP that I'm excited to see,
but some of them I don't.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
I don't think I had classes with and so.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
I'm just like I'd like to see the people that
were in band with me, or played volleyball with me,
or did the whole allied hell thing with me.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
Like I want to see people like talk to.

Speaker 6 (43:05):
Right, you want to see your group plus like you know,
the people that you barely knew, you may have had
one class with or you know, intersected sometime during the
four years. But like, yeah, you want to hang out
with the people that you hung out with.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
All right, that's it.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
I'm going to make a cringe Facebook post today and
I'm also going to take a cringe moment right now
and say that if you graduated from Wes Stanley High
School in two thousand and five, there is an event
invite on Facebook please RSBP So that way, I know
I'm not going to just show up and they'll be
like three other people in a room while we awkwardly
stare at each other.

Speaker 5 (43:38):
Thanks for starting your day with The Morning Miss.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
It's The Morning Mixed with Matt Harris and Lizluda.

Speaker 5 (43:44):
Now here's your latest pop update.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
It's sponsored empowered by Mark Spain Real Estate. But Bad
Bunny is going to be the Super Bowl twenty twenty
six halftime performer. It was announced yesterday, all right, but
the rumors are a swirling that originally they went to
Taylor Swift with the idea and Taylor Swift turned it down.
Now this is all alleged. Let me use my air
quotes to make sure I'm protected in this that she

(44:08):
allegedly turned it down. And it's because historically all of
the Super Bowl halftime performers have never been paid, right,
They've never been paid at all.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Every year.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
People seem to be shocked by that, but it's because
the NFL. I mean, clearly they're struggling for money.

Speaker 6 (44:23):
Right.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to have that afwad cost.

Speaker 4 (44:26):
But so they say they pay you an exposure, which
is of course the most valuable thing, right it is.

Speaker 5 (44:33):
The biggest stage probably in the world.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
Yeah, and if.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
You're somebody that has a tour coming up or you
need to sell an album, like, it's a great way
to promote actually huge. I'm not in any way down
playing that, but Taylor Swift might be the one example
of someone that would actually bring more eyes versus the
NFL brought eyes to her. Right, So they're saying that
she turned it down because she said she wanted to

(44:57):
get paid, and more so than them not wanting to
pay her, they didn't want to set the precedent allegedly
of having to pay performers, because if they paid her,
then the next person will be like, well, wait now,
I heard Taylor Swift got paid last time. So you know,
I am not as familiar with Bad Bunnies music. I
will probably listen to more of it before the halftime.

Speaker 6 (45:17):
Which is part of the benefit of doing the halftime show,
I mean, is that everybody's going to be streaming you.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
Yes, and he's a global superstar, I mean, I think
it's like twice and he's having sold and broke records
with his music, and so I good for him. For him,
I'm sure that it'll be a great show. Anything's got
to be better than when the Weekend did it. Yeah
that was mean. Okay. Also this weekend, this is huge.

(45:44):
Selena Gomes got married. She and Betty Blanco tied the nott.
They've already posted pictures from their wedding, which I love
when celebrities post their own pictures because then we get
to see him pretty much immediately. Yeah, you don't have
to like wait for anything else.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
I think they're so great as a couple too.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
I love they just have And I don't know if
Taco Bell helps sponsor their wedding, but like there's Taco
Bell references and even other proposal video. There was so
the idea that they're just you know, hitting up the
Taco Bell drive through to get a crunch trap supreme.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
I love that. I'm there for it.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
But there were so many famous people there, including Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Ed Sheeran, Steve Martin, Martin Short.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
Obviously because they do that show together now like what
six years, Paul Rudd, Paris Hilton, all sorts of famous people.
My invite got lost in the mail, but come on
maybe next time or maybe like like an anniversary special.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
I'll get the invite for you go.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
And then I am sad about this, but I support
her fully and I'd like to wrap her and bubble wrap.
But Dolly Porton made an announcement on her social media
over the weekend that she is having to postpone her
upcoming Las Vegas concerts.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
She said she's been dealing with health challenges.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
To basically summarize it, she made a joke about how
it's not just like her regular go to the plastic surgeon,
that she's got some procedures coming up. She doesn't think
it's the Good Lord telling her it's time to stop,
but that she definitely needs to slow down for right now,
and that she owes all of the fans that travel
and pay to see her a great performance, and she's
not able to do that right now, and so she

(47:17):
did reschedule it for next September. But I just I
worry about Dolly. You know, she had a rough year.
You know, she lost her husband, she's getting a little older,
and she's just a national treasure as somebody that lived
in Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
For eight years.

Speaker 4 (47:31):
She does a lot for the state of Tennessee. And
it's just so it's.

Speaker 5 (47:35):
Lovely pretty Dolly at all costs.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Yeah, she just.

Speaker 4 (47:38):
Seems like good people. So watch for Dolly.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
Good Morning.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
It's a morning mixed with Matt Harrison Liz Ludox.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
I am so excited. We're doing this thing on Saturday.
It's a movie premiere for Taylor Swift's Party of a Showgirl,
and we're doing our own premiere on Saturday, October fourth
at North Lake AMC fourteen Cinemas. We're in EA and
so win and like, I don't know, give me a
minute and a half, but I'm so pumped because I don't.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Really ever do anything.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
My life is going to work, running errands, take care
of my kid, cleaning up after the kid, like you know,
like the really boring stuff. And I'm always like, man,
I wish I had friends, and I have a hard
time because my hours are so weird that like, if
you want to hang out after four pm, wha, you
are such a rebel because I can't stay up that late.

(48:29):
And so I'm excited because this thing is happening in
the morning, and I have a friend who's gonna come
with me and be my little plus one, and we're
gonna go together and we're gonna watch it, and I'm
so excited and I have been emotionally preparing because I
went and got the beads to make friendship necklaces or
friendship bracelets.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
And I don't have as many done as I really
thought I would.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
I thought i'd be able to just plow right through this,
but I have a fair amount. I've got I.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
Think nine done.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
Okay, so that's pretty solid.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Kat, You can't your kid help you with this?

Speaker 3 (49:03):
He could, but does he want? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (49:06):
Like when he was younger, he used to get so
bored with beating, like it doesn't at all.

Speaker 5 (49:11):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
That one time he was trying to beat like a necklace. Yeah,
And he told me how to stop. And I said, why, buddy,
what's wrong? And he said because my leg's hurt. And
I said, what do you mean your legs hurt? He's like, oh, yeah,
my legs, they're just too tired.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
I can't.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
I can't keep making these beaded necklaces. And I said, well,
you're sitting and he said, oh yeah, but these legs.
I need to take a break. And so that that
sums up how my child feels about it.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
This brings up another situation.

Speaker 6 (49:38):
You need to teach your kid how to make ballid excuses.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
No, it's actually easier this way. You know, maybe when
he's older he might he might struggle a little bit,
But right now I can be like, oh, is that
is that?

Speaker 3 (49:49):
What it is?

Speaker 5 (49:50):
Your legs?

Speaker 4 (49:51):
Your legs are tired from sitting in a chair, so
you need to sit in a more comfortable chair.

Speaker 6 (49:55):
Right.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
Oh, Okay, I see what's happening.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
But so I'm just like really excited. I'm like, oh,
oh my gosh, I'm gonna do something this weekend. I
get to see people, I got to make bracelets. I
get to watch a whole little Taylor Swift thing because
I went and saw when the airstur when that went
to theaters, and it was so much fun because they
encourage singing and dancing.

Speaker 5 (50:15):
And it's like a party in their area.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
Yes, yes, And sometimes when you go to things that
you want to sing along with, it's not encouraged. Right.

Speaker 5 (50:22):
There was a big thing about Wicked when that came out.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
Yeah, and so the idea that they tell you up front, like, hey,
people are going to be singing and dancing, that's fair
game for me to get up, you know, do the
robot awkwardly or something. You know, it's not gonna be
good dancing. No, it's not gonna be good singing no,
but it's gonna be some solid effort. So if you
would like to join, we're giving away tickets every day
this week just after seven and nine, including Mix, Matt Liz,

Five Morning Mix Matt Harris Lezluda producer TJ. I think
I just mispronounced my own name there for a second.
I'm like a giant mess. I don't I keep saying that.
I feel like I've been seeing that for about a
solid three weeks.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
Now, three weeks. Let's see. I've been on this show, so.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
Okay, two years, oh yeah, for about two years now.
I feel like I'm being held together by like a
piece of gum, rubber band and a paper clip. Like
you're doing great. I'm doing great. That's right, that's apps.
I mean that take.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
But you're doing great.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Thanks.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
Thanks, It's a duct tape, that's what does it. I
was really excited.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
I was watching this.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
Thing with Amy Poehler over the weekend and she was
doing like her interviewee podcasty thing that she does, and
she was talking to somebody else and they were talking
about the zombie apocalypse.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Okay, and I know, like we're.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
Going into Halloween season and everybody does all the leg
zombie stuff or whatever. And it was the most reassuring
thing I've ever seen, because whenever I hear anyone.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
Talk about the zombie apocalypse and like how they have like.

Speaker 4 (52:44):
A plan for like what they would do, right, yes, yeah,
my plan is please just let it end early, right?

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Like me, First, I have.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
No desire to be having to be quiet and eating
canned peaches, and I have no plan. I Am not
going to make it. And that's basically what Amy Poehler
and her guest said.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
And I felt so seen because I was like.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Oh my gosh, finally somebody else that's like my plan
is no plan, right.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
My plan is let's let's se Yeah I don't.

Speaker 4 (53:13):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (53:14):
Let's ride this out as short as possible.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
Yeah, I know this is this is not made for me,
but there are people where they literally and I think
it's not as trendy as it was like ten years
ago to be like what would you.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Do on a zombie apocalypse? I feel like it was
like a first date question.

Speaker 6 (53:28):
It was once the walking the walking Dead fame or whatever. Yeah, popularity, Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
That's what it was. And I felt like everybody just
had these like preloaded answers, you know. And there was
the movie Zombie Land with like whatdy Harrelson, and like
that was whatdy Harrelson?

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay. It just seemed like it.

Speaker 4 (53:45):
Was really trendy for a second where I was like,
I I in no way have a thought process for this.

Speaker 3 (53:52):
I'm premared. I'm prepared for inclement weather.

Speaker 5 (53:55):
My plan is to give up.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
I am prepared for if my shoes are on comfortable.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Like, I have a lot of plans in life going
in the back of my mind, always rolling, but like
not for actual things.

Speaker 6 (54:07):
Right, well, there's this apocalypse that's not an actual thing.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
It might be more likely that that would happen, though,
than the need for me to have chains to make
some time.

Speaker 6 (54:17):
Yeah, and you are prepared for that, And I am
currently prepared.
