Battle’s son is graduating early and turning 18 next year. Now he’s wondering, should he start charging his kid rent once he’s officially an adult?

a look at what is trending this morning. So McDonald's
just announced it they're bringing back a fan favorite for
the first time in ten years.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Monopoly is coming back.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You know where you peel off the stickers and you
try to collect groups of monopoly properties. Yeah, now, I
know what you're thinking. Isn't that a scam? Well, yes,
yes it is. A lot of people spent a chunk
of COVID quarantine watching the HBO docu series mcmillions, which
was about the McDonald's Monopoly game and how it was
rigged between nineteen ninety five and two thousand and one.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
By the way, not by.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
McDonald's, but by someone working for the company that made
the game.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Pieces. It's a good watch. You should check it out.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But the game return multiple times in the early two
thousands up through twenty fifteen, when it wasn't an illicit
scam but a more legitimate one. And now they've announced that, Hey,
you know what, we're bringing Monopoly back. So that is
happening next week. Super excited about that. Also, in other news,
Nicole Kimmen and Keith Urban have split after nineteen years
(01:33):
of marriage. Says quote, Sometimes relationships just run their course,
adding that Nicole quote did not want the separation and
was trying to save things.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Of course, these are all just sources saying that.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But they was announced that Nicole Kimmen and Keith Urban
splitting after nineteen years of marriage. That is a look
at what's trending this morning. So glad that you're hanging
out here with us on a Tuesday, a special Tuesday
at that It is a two for Tuesday.

Nine deck Battle in the Morning.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Here's your one of them, twenty five nine of the Right,
Nashville's classic rock it's Battle in the Morning. Now, there
was a time when people you know, considered it a
badge of honor to show up to work even when
they were under the weather. Right, but uh now we
just want those sikos to stay home. New survey out there,
eighty six percent of people say that they feel concerned
about their own health when a coworker comes to work
(02:25):
visibly sick. Forty two percent meant that their relationship with
a coworker would be negatively affected if that person only
showed up sick. Sixty four percent of those people say
that they considered it selfish if someone shows up to
work sick, youngnger people are more likely to fill this way.
I'll tell you what, At one point in time in
my radio career, I did show up to work sick,
(02:49):
but I told everybody it was allergies. But really it
wasn't allergies. It was like a cold. But luckily nobody
else got sick. So there's a plus side in that, right,

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Battle in the Morning Rock, Nashville's Classic Rock's well.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
As of about six fifty this morning, Brian Callahan is
still the head coach of our Tennessee Titans. It's twe
oh five nine the Right Natural's Classic Rock. It's Battle
in the Morning. Yesterday Brian Callahan had his press conference
with the media, and since he is still hopeful that
this team can turn it around, I'm glad somebody has
(05:49):
hope and faith, because yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
But hey, you know what, there's always next year, right.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
It's one oh five nine of the Right Nationals Glassic
Rocket's Back.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Of the Morning with Tears for Fears.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So one o five note on the ride National's classic
rock It's Battle in the Morning. So have you ever
wondered if asking your kid to pay rent makes you
a bad parents? I? Uh, I've got a question for you,
and if you'd love to be a part of the show.
Six one five, seven, three seven, one oh five nine
is the numbers. So here's where I'm at. So, my
oldest kid is about to graduate early. He'll be eighteen
(06:25):
in February, and I'm already thinking about, you know what
life looks like once he's officially you know, an adult,
as I do finger quotes. Now, I know how expensive
it is out there, rent, groceries, gas, It all adds
up pretty quickly, right, So I've been toying around with
this idea of once he turns eighteen, charging him rent.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Nothing crazy, you.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Know, not I mean like, hey, you're gonna pay half the mortgage,
but like a couple hundred bucks a month. Right, But
here's the twist. I wouldn't actually keep that money. I'd
be putting it aside. And then the day that he's
like I'm going, I'm leaving, I've got my own place,
I hand him that money back. Boom, He's got a
nice little nest egg for his first apartment or even
(07:07):
a down payment on a house. So let me ask
you this, what do you think about this? Is that
teaching responsibility? Or am I the bad guy for even
considering it? Charging him rent? If he still lives under
my roof Once he hits eighteen, let's talk about it.
Six one five seven three seven one oh five nine
is the number against sixty one five seven three seven
one oh five nine is the number we'll get into
(07:29):
your phone calls next. Be a part of that in
the morning called six one five seven three seven. Rock

Rockets Battle in the Morning. So I asked the question,
is it wrong if I charge my kid rent when
he turns eighteen? But I'm not gonna like keep the
money from him. I'm gonna build it into like a
little nest egg and give it back to him when
he does decide.
Speaker 2 (08:42):

I'm good man? How are you?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I'm finer and Froghurst split four weight rent deal, just
rent deal. When we were growing up, I'm the second
youngest of six charged five dollars a day for every
day we work, even in high school. So if we
had a part time job. If we worked, we opened
my dad five dollars for the day that we work.
So if we only worked three days a week, we
(09:13):
paid him fifteen dollars. But if we work five days
a week, we paid him twenty five.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yeah, so I thought that was I mean, even.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Growing up back in the seventies, that was reasonly eighties,
that was reasonable, And I think it teaches responsibility.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, absolutely, Chuck Man, I appreciate you calling in this morning.
Six one five seven, three seven, one oh five nine
is the number if you want to jump in on
the show. Am I bad guy? If I charge my
kid rints he turns eighteen? Six one five seven three seven,
one oh five nine is number. Oh, by the way,
I am going to give it back to him, Like
we'll just build a little nest eag for him.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
We'll take more of your phone calls next.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Six one five, seven, three seven, one oh five nine
is the number if you want to jump in on
the show this morning. So my kid will be eighteen
next year and he's graduating earlier, and I've been kicking
around on the idea of charging him rent once he's
an officially adult. But before you think I'm a monster,
the plan is to stash the money away and then
when he moves out, boom, he gets it back to
(10:09):
put towards like a place of his own. So thoughts
on this six one five, seventh, three seven, one oh
five nine is the number.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Let's go to the phones. It's one o five nine
of the rock. Hih, who's this come up?

My name is John working on Laverne.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Hey, John, working in Laverne. What's up? Brother?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
So tagging in on your comments this morning. So I
got three kids ranging from forty three to thirty two.
I'm an old guy. So my son is in the middle.
My two girls, right after high school went to college,
so they were gone, but my son stayed and we
(10:46):
done just that. He charged, we paid, he paid rent,
We charged him and he paid part of the groceries.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
He had no problem with it.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Now get back that was his They told him life
ain't free free, yeah, I mean you pay your.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Way, yeah, And I think the whole if I charge
him rented, it not only teaches him responsibility, but also
helps him budget for when he is on his own,
so he could be like, Okay, I got this bill,
this bill and this bill that I got to figure
out what can I cut out exactly this week so
I can get to that bill? Yep, Well, John, I

you gotta save money for X, Y and Z.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Hi, who's this Eric? What's up?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Brother?
Speaker 5 (18:35):
On the topic of charging your kid, Rint, I don't
think you're a bad guy at all. I've got two
of them that are adults. We're not charging them rent,
but don't I don't think that's bad idea at all.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, because my thought process behind it is like not
charging him a substantial amount of money, but like like
two three hundred bucks a month, which is doable for him.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
And then yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And then when he decides to move out, out that
money that he was paying me again, I'm going to
turn around and give it back to him as like
a little nest egg for an apartment that he's going
after or a down payment on a house. But I
just want to teach him responsibilities and being like an adult.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
And I can imagine the look on a space when
he sees it.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
They're like, whoa wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
A minute, what Yeah exactly.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
I think it'd be a great idea.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Well, I appreciate you calling in and being a part
of the show this morning.
Speaker 2 (19:24):

Oh, I appreciate that you got a you got a
thought on this one?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Absolutely, it is one appropriate and I'll tell you I've
taken it a step further with my kiddo, because it's motivation.
You know, there's too many kids not leaving the house nowadays.
That wasn't even an option. It was like unheard of
when we were all growing up. But my daughter, when
(20:13):
she turned sixteen and started driving, I said, you got
to get a job, you got to pay car insurance,
and you have to pay for your cell phone. We
did that till she graduated. Then I gave her a
semester in college to find a job in her field
of studies. If she had a job by January, then
I would start. I would keep paying her insurance and
(20:35):
cell phone for her, and if she couldn't find a
job or didn't find a job in her field of studies,
then she had to start paying those again, right And.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
That's that's kind of what I do with my oldest
kid right now. Is like he pays for his own gas,
but I pay for his car insurance. We did some
stuff to his truck, and I told him, hey, pay
me one hundred bucks every month until it's paid off,
and you're good to get. But I feel as if
like just charging him in and again not charging him a.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Stupid amount of money. I'm not gonna be.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Like, oh, you give me half of the mortgage, but
a couple hundred bucks. Just trying to teach him responsibility
and prepare for the real world when he is out
there on his own.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
It's a great thing to do.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
It's the only way to.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Make them flat troops and have that responsibility and knowledge
to be able to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Absolutely, Beth, I appreciate you calling in this morning.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Thank you have a good one.
Rise and shine, sleepyhead, let's do this thing. It's one
oh five nine the Rode, Nashville's classic rock. It's Battle
in the Morning. Welcome in to Tuesday's show. Hey, by
the way, now that I can talk about this coming up,
when we play one stupid question around six forty your

he performs at the Rieman next year. We'll get you

one stupid question this morning. It's Battle in the Morning.
It's one o five nine in the Rock. Let's take
a look at what is trending this morning. So McDonald's
just announced it they're bringing back a fan favorite for
the first time in ten years.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Monopoly is coming back.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You know where you peel off the stickers and you
try to collect groups of monopoly properties. Yeah, now, I
know what you're thinking. Isn't that a scam? Well, yes,
yes it is. A lot of people spent a chunk
of COVID quarantine watching the HBO docu series mcmillions, which
was about the McDonald's Monopoly game and how it was
rigged between nineteen ninety five and two thousand and one.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
By the way, not by.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
McDonald's, but by someone working for the company that made
the game.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Pieces. It's a good watch. You should check it out.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But the game return multiple times in the early two
thousands up through twenty fifteen, when it wasn't an illicit
scam but a more legitimate one. And now they've announced that, Hey,
you know what, we're bringing Monopoly back. So that is
happening next week. Super excited about that. Also, in other news,
Nicole Kimmen and Keith Urban have split after nineteen years
(01:33):
of marriage. Says quote, Sometimes relationships just run their course,
adding that Nicole quote did not want the separation and
was trying to save things.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Of course, these are all just sources saying that.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But they was announced that Nicole Kimmen and Keith Urban
splitting after nineteen years of marriage. That is a look
at what's trending this morning. So glad that you're hanging
out here with us on a Tuesday, a special Tuesday
at that It is a two for Tuesday.

Nine deck Battle in the Morning.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Here's your one of them, twenty five nine of the Right,
Nashville's classic rock it's Battle in the Morning. Now, there
was a time when people you know, considered it a
badge of honor to show up to work even when
they were under the weather. Right, but uh now we
just want those sikos to stay home. New survey out there,
eighty six percent of people say that they feel concerned
about their own health when a coworker comes to work
(02:25):
visibly sick. Forty two percent meant that their relationship with
a coworker would be negatively affected if that person only
showed up sick. Sixty four percent of those people say
that they considered it selfish if someone shows up to
work sick, youngnger people are more likely to fill this way.
I'll tell you what, At one point in time in
my radio career, I did show up to work sick,
(02:49):
but I told everybody it was allergies. But really it
wasn't allergies. It was like a cold. But luckily nobody
else got sick. So there's a plus side in that, right,

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Battle in the Morning Rock, Nashville's Classic Rock's well.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
As of about six fifty this morning, Brian Callahan is
still the head coach of our Tennessee Titans. It's twe
oh five nine the Right Natural's Classic Rock. It's Battle
in the Morning. Yesterday Brian Callahan had his press conference
with the media, and since he is still hopeful that
this team can turn it around, I'm glad somebody has
(05:49):
hope and faith, because yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
But hey, you know what, there's always next year, right.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
It's one oh five nine of the Right Nationals Glassic
Rocket's Back.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Of the Morning with Tears for Fears.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So one o five note on the ride National's classic
rock It's Battle in the Morning. So have you ever
wondered if asking your kid to pay rent makes you
a bad parents? I? Uh, I've got a question for you,
and if you'd love to be a part of the show.
Six one five, seven, three seven, one oh five nine
is the numbers. So here's where I'm at. So, my
oldest kid is about to graduate early. He'll be eighteen
(06:25):
in February, and I'm already thinking about, you know what
life looks like once he's officially you know, an adult,
as I do finger quotes. Now, I know how expensive
it is out there, rent, groceries, gas, It all adds
up pretty quickly, right, So I've been toying around with
this idea of once he turns eighteen, charging him rent.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Nothing crazy, you.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Know, not I mean like, hey, you're gonna pay half the mortgage,
but like a couple hundred bucks a month. Right, But
here's the twist. I wouldn't actually keep that money. I'd
be putting it aside. And then the day that he's
like I'm going, I'm leaving, I've got my own place,
I hand him that money back. Boom, He's got a
nice little nest egg for his first apartment or even
(07:07):
a down payment on a house. So let me ask
you this, what do you think about this? Is that
teaching responsibility? Or am I the bad guy for even
considering it? Charging him rent? If he still lives under
my roof Once he hits eighteen, let's talk about it.
Six one five seven three seven one oh five nine
is the number against sixty one five seven three seven
one oh five nine is the number we'll get into
(07:29):
your phone calls next. Be a part of that in
the morning called six one five seven three seven. Rock

Rockets Battle in the Morning. So I asked the question,
is it wrong if I charge my kid rent when
he turns eighteen? But I'm not gonna like keep the
money from him. I'm gonna build it into like a
little nest egg and give it back to him when
he does decide.
Speaker 2 (08:42):

Chuck?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I'm good man? How are you?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I'm finer and Froghurst split four weight rent deal, just
rent deal. When we were growing up, I'm the second
youngest of six charged five dollars a day for every
day we work, even in high school. So if we
had a part time job. If we worked, we opened
my dad five dollars for the day that we work.
So if we only worked three days a week, we
(09:13):
paid him fifteen dollars. But if we work five days
a week, we paid him twenty five.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yeah, so I thought that was I mean, even.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Growing up back in the seventies, that was reasonly eighties,
that was reasonable, And I think it teaches responsibility.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, absolutely, Chuck Man, I appreciate you calling in this morning.
Six one five seven, three seven, one oh five nine
is the number if you want to jump in on
the show. Am I bad guy? If I charge my
kid rints he turns eighteen? Six one five seven three seven,
one oh five nine is number. Oh, by the way,
I am going to give it back to him, Like
we'll just build a little nest eag for him.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
We'll take more of your phone calls next.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Six one five, seven, three seven, one oh five nine
is the number if you want to jump in on
the show this morning. So my kid will be eighteen
next year and he's graduating earlier, and I've been kicking
around on the idea of charging him rent once he's
an officially adult. But before you think I'm a monster,
the plan is to stash the money away and then
when he moves out, boom, he gets it back to
(10:09):
put towards like a place of his own. So thoughts
on this six one five, seventh, three seven, one oh
five nine is the number.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Let's go to the phones. It's one o five nine
of the rock. Hih, who's this come up?

My name is John working on Laverne.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Hey, John, working in Laverne. What's up? Brother?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
So tagging in on your comments this morning. So I
got three kids ranging from forty three to thirty two.
I'm an old guy. So my son is in the middle.
My two girls, right after high school went to college,
so they were gone, but my son stayed and we
(10:46):
done just that. He charged, we paid, he paid rent,
We charged him and he paid part of the groceries.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
He had no problem with it.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Now get back that was his They told him life
ain't free free, yeah, I mean you pay your.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Way, yeah, And I think the whole if I charge
him rented, it not only teaches him responsibility, but also
helps him budget for when he is on his own,
so he could be like, Okay, I got this bill,
this bill and this bill that I got to figure
out what can I cut out exactly this week so
I can get to that bill? Yep, Well, John, I

I feel like that would be good for her, you
know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Right A lot and that.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And that's the thing is I just want to kind
of teach him responsibility because again, he's a kid right now,
there's not much responsibility. But once he graduates high school,
he's at an adult and I want him to like, know, hey,
you gotta save money for X, Y and Z.
Speaker 6 (12:36):

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Hi, who's this Eric? What's up?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Brother?
Speaker 5 (18:35):
On the topic of charging your kid, Rint, I don't
think you're a bad guy at all. I've got two
of them that are adults. We're not charging them rent,
but don't I don't think that's bad idea at all.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, because my thought process behind it is like not
charging him a substantial amount of money, but like like
two three hundred bucks a month, which is doable for him.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
And then yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And then when he decides to move out, out that
money that he was paying me again, I'm going to
turn around and give it back to him as like
a little nest egg for an apartment that he's going
after or a down payment on a house. But I
just want to teach him responsibilities and being like an adult.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
And I can imagine the look on a space when
he sees it.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
They're like, whoa wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
A minute, what Yeah exactly.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
I think it'd be a great idea.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Well, I appreciate you calling in and being a part

Speaker 2 (19:46):
How are you this morning?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Wonderful? Thank you? I love your question.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh, I appreciate that you got a you got a
thought on this one?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Absolutely, it is one appropriate and I'll tell you I've
taken it a step further with my kiddo, because it's motivation.
You know, there's too many kids not leaving the house nowadays.
That wasn't even an option. It was like unheard of
when we were all growing up. But my daughter, when
(20:13):
she turned sixteen and started driving, I said, you got
to get a job, you got to pay car insurance,
and you have to pay for your cell phone. We
did that till she graduated. Then I gave her a
semester in college to find a job in her field
of studies. If she had a job by January, then
I would start. I would keep paying her insurance and
(20:35):
cell phone for her, and if she couldn't find a
job or didn't find a job in her field of studies,
then she had to start paying those again, right And.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
That's that's kind of what I do with my oldest
kid right now. Is like he pays for his own gas,
but I pay for his car insurance. We did some
stuff to his truck, and I told him, hey, pay
me one hundred bucks every month until it's paid off,
and you're good to get. But I feel as if
like just charging him in and again not charging him a.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Stupid amount of money. I'm not gonna be.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Like, oh, you give me half of the mortgage, but
a couple hundred bucks. Just trying to teach him responsibility
and prepare for the real world when he is out
there on his own.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
It's a great thing to do.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
It's the only way to.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Make them flat troops and have that responsibility and knowledge
to be able to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Absolutely, Beth, I appreciate you calling in this morning.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Thank you have a good one.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
