Good morning, y'all. Friday Eve, if you will, Friday light
Friday No, that's not righty,but I heard somebody else call it Friday
kid, Friday night. What areyou talking about. I don't want to
ruin your vibe. On this show. We call it Friday Eve. It's

(00:22):
Friday Eve. So I've noticed thatwhen like something's coming to an end,
everything gets amplified. So I'm onthe home stretch of getting out of my
apartment. How many days do weneed to start a ticker a week from
Saturday? Okay, I'm gonna puta ticker up. So I noticed that.
So it's super crazy busy during rushhour. Add in a Giants game

(00:43):
yesterday and it was just Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Cong Cong Kong for
like an hour. Plus it wasa Giant's win. Yeah. Plus it
was the first series that we wonall year. We swept the Philadelphia Phillies.
So it was nuts. It wasnuts outside. I'm off of King
Street. Then I know after midnightit turns into King Street, turns into
a drag race, and it's giantengines. It's it's everything too. It's

(01:07):
like motorcycles, it's like giant engines. And just in my head, horrible
thoughts happen of what I want tohappen to this person who's making this noise
after midnight. Hey, you wantto make stupid decisions. I can't help
you. But removing my muffler mayor may not be a stupid decision for
me. No, because one hundredmonths an hour on King Street is done.

(01:30):
Are they really going that faster?They just sound like they are going
that fast. I've seen them.It is dumb. It is dumb and
scary from every berry and you mightrun into a building, you might hurt
a person. But I just Ialways feel like when you're at the tail
end of something, everything seems amplified. It is it because it's worse,
or is it because you're just morehyper aware that you don't want to be
there and every day is just literalprison torture. Well, I went to

(01:53):
this safe way yesterday before the Giantsgame, which was a huge mistake.
Who does that? Because everybody inthere I know, I know I wasn't
thinking I would just run to grabsome lunch. But ooft, I'm so
ready, I'm so ready. I'lltell you what if you come to San
Francisco and you'll notice that you cantell us as a quote unquote local,

(02:16):
Jason, you've you've lived here along time before you moved to Alameda.
The people that quote unquote live hereor spend a lot of time here,
they don't necessarily wait for the crosswalkto go green before they start crossing.
I've always been one of the likethe sticklers on that that rugs me,
that's a pet. But people doit right, Yeah, totally. But

(02:36):
there are certain streets, certain intersectionsyou do not want to do that on
and right out here on King Streetis if you come in for a Giants
game, you do not want togo against the light. Really bad drivers.
Oh it's horrible. No, they'regoing one hundred miles an hour.
Broadway and Battery is the other bigone. You do not want to mess
with that. It's just so funnyeverybody honking yesterday because it's like, okay,
it's rush our Giants games over.Why wouldn't you take mass transit?

(02:58):
Why would you even try I didn'tdrive convenient enough. Well would you want
to sit in traffic for an hour? That's the sound Corey mix when she's
inconvenience. Well, well I wasn'tinconvenienced. I just had to listen to
it. I hear you, hearyou. I'm ready. You're gonna be
okay. No, no, Iam gonna be okay. Week from Saturday,

the answering service. I'm like,I'm not going to get anywhere with this.

I'm doing well. Busy week,tiring day. Yesterday. We had
our like babysitters club meet up partyyesterday and that went well, but I
had to like grocery shop for it, Alameda Babysitters Club, the kids.
It was an exhausting day. Andthen it's like, how am I just
exhausted? Ready to die in bed? And my daughter is getting up all

(05:39):
night? Like it's remember that funnystory used to talk about your dad where
he get up in the middle ofthat he would say like, so how

She doesn't want to go to sleep. I don't know. She's not

Oh my god, you guys arein bed, yes, and she walks

she's not sleeping, but I'm fallingasleep. Maybe she'll just you know,
fall asleep at some point right whereI'm just gonna close my eyes. But

(06:25):

(07:11):
to twelve More tickets for Duran Duranthis morning. That's going down at SAP
Center on the twenty eighth. Ifyou want to grab those eight or five
this morning with our trivia game,which you know about that, make sure
you're here to win more variety fromthe two thousands, the nineties, and
today it's a star one oh onethree. It's Marcus and Corey six twenty.
We're going to talk divorce for justa second only happy subject. We

(07:32):
saw something interesting. I know it'snot a happy subject. Well, the
good news is divorce rates here atan all time low, believe it or
not, in two thousand and twentythree in this country. So we have
we got that going for us.Well, I think during the pandemic,
everyone it was it was put upfor shut up times, decisions were made.
Here's what this guy's saying though.This is this is a guy who's

(07:53):
been a divorce lawyer for a thousandyears, and he says he has the
number one reason that couples get thatworking parents get divorced. Yeah, I
thought it was interesting. He saidthat it's because more moms are going back
into the workforce. More moms haveentered the workforce here in the last ten
years, and the dynamic at thehouse. According to him, the husband

(08:16):
still feels like mom should take careof everything at the house, even though
she's also working. So she's gotthe kids, she's got the grocery,
she's got the laundry, she's gotthe meals, she's got the work.
And by the way, she's makingmoney right and helping with the bills.
And what's the husband doing, accordingto this article, whatever he wants.

(08:37):
Now, that's not how the worldworks anymore. Hold on, because I
feel the need to defend high functioningdad's out there that are listening. I
know there are a lot of guysout there that step up, and I
appreciate, Well, that's not whowe're talking about. I understand that.
I just want to be very clearthat because this feels like a very sweeping
generalization of of a of a marriagedynamic. That being said, no,

(09:03):
these are very specific couples where theman is not stepping up and the woman
says, I'm not having it.When I wasn't working, I stepped up
my game around the house because Ifelt like since I wasn't pulling in any
money, I should do more stuffaround the house. Now when we're both
working, we split everything right,and that's key. And this is work

(09:24):
sort of where his info is comingfrom us. According to a twenty fifteen
survey by Working Mother Research Institute,seventy nine percent of working moms say they
are still responsible for doing the laundry. They are also twice as likely as
dad's to handle the cooking. I'vesaid it before, I'll say it again.
If you really want to work onyour marriage, live in two different
places. You mean like you're doingright now? Yeah, because you have

(09:46):
to take care of yourself. Somebodyelse isn't doing it. It's very interesting
when you get to that point inyour relationship and I feel like my wife
and I are there where you've beentogether long enough, everybody's got their lane,
everybody's doing their stuff. Then oneperson has to disappear for whatever reason
or another, whether they're you know, they're out of town, or they're
out of pocket, or in yourcase, you move away. And now

(10:07):
all the stuff that the Jeff handledyou have to handle yourself and vice versa.
And it's weird. It's weird.It's very weird. It's coming to
an end though, Yeah, SoI'm gonna be really happy about that.
That's the plus. Yeah, Ican't see this though. You feel taken
for granted if you have to doeverything, Oh, you just describe,
just describe. Mom's in a nutshelllike every I think every mom out there,

(10:30):
you know what I mean, Likeyou'll. I don't think we will
ever truly thank mom enough for allthe stuff that she puts in. And
again, not a slam on Dad'snot at all. No, it's not
a slam on dat. It's it'sa conversation that Kim and I have had
if we have to act like yourmother to your husband, we don't want
to have any sort of intimacy withyou if I feel like your mom,

(10:52):
right because you know, be anadult. We've said this before. If
you see something, do something,so I don't. And no, we're
not clumping all men in one category. This is just this Divorcelur is saying,
this is why working parents are callingin quits. He's seeing a real
trend over the last ten years,is what he's saying. Yeah, some

(11:16):
of the comments that he's heard fromhis clients, and these are moms checking
in. We get sick of themental load. Having to give instructions on
everything is exhausting. I will neverforget the day. I said, if
I'm doing it all by myself,I might as well be by myself.
I've had less work as a singlemom of two than as a married mom

(11:37):
of two. Now, success storylady says, going on twenty seven years
of marriage, because my husband isan equal partner, it's one hundred,
one hundred, no fifty fifty bs. We are in this together. I
like that a lot. I don'tknow. This is just interesting to me.
So I don't know if it's awake up Maybe it's a wake up
call to step up your game.He does say he sees a lot more

(12:01):
high functioning. Dad's out there.More Dad's coming through my office saying,
hey, I've been doing school dropoff, school pickup. I've been making
the meals. I had look atJason, like, Jason's that guy.
Dude, that guy's an animal.He cleans, he cooks, he picks
up the kids from school. He'samazing. I had to do a self
check. I was like, wait, I do the cooking, I do
my own laundry. All right,we're good. My wife doesn't work outside

(12:22):
the home, but if she decidedto go get a part time job,
maybe the dynamic would shift a littlebit. You know what, I don't
know. I don't know anyway,Food for Thought six twenty five will check
what's trending here in a little bit. So more information on this whole We
talked about it yesterday. The parking. They want to increase the hours that
you have to pay to park inthe city. Yes, and also enforced

(12:45):
parking on Sundays, and restaurants arenot happy. I can imagine we'll get
you cut up coming up at sixfifty. Stay with us, Paint and
trust Fall. More variety from thetwo thousands, the nineties, and today
Star one to one three. It'sMarcus and Corey. It's Thursday. I'm
laughing because just yesterday we were talkingabout something to do with parenting, and
I was talking about how I usedto judge parents before I had kids,

(13:07):
but now I don't know that Ihave a kid, I'm like, let's
not judge. But then I didsay, there are some things that we
read online that really make it hardfor me not to judge. This is
one of those moments. This isreally interesting. It's not the bad behavior
of a child at a child's birthdayparty. It's the bad behavior of the
parent. Worst things grown ups havedone at kid's birthday parties. This was
a Reddit thread, and they startout pretty innocuous enough. My friends saw

(13:35):
someone relite a birthday candle for someoneelse's cake so their child could blow it
out. That's a level one offense, as long as you know the kid
whose birthday it is doesn't see itright. And then and then they ramp
up. Yeah, first birthday partyI went to as a parent, this
dad handed over a gift, droppedhis kid off, and said call me
when it's over. I think itdepends on the age, because you know,

(13:56):
if you're hurting cats, you're tryingto keep everybody safe. Because I
knew like as I got older andwent to birthday parties, the parents didn't
stay right. Of course, ifyou were old enough that you know,
they weren't worried about you running off, you know, falling off a deck
or something like that. But justto drop your kid off, it's not
daycare. I saw it as youngas I think four or five. I
was at a birthday party with mydaughter and I saw people dropping their kids

(14:20):
off. But then here's the thing. After following my daughter around, AD
said birthday party when you don't comewith your kid. There's no one to
regulate how much sugar they're putting intheir body because the parents hosting it can't
watch everybody. They're rolling by.The cupcake left her own devices. My
daughter would have eaten six cupcakes,five twizzle sticks, four pieces of child
you know what I mean. It'samazing to me that you have like candy

(14:43):
tables and cupcake tables. Yeah,you get the candy bag. Typically it's
at the end. We had goodybags. But I just don't you know,
wow, a candy table that justseems so dangerous. It's like an
open bar at a wedding. That'swhat I'm saying. That's why you have
to be there. This one,I think is just crazy. So this
family attended the birthday party of achild whose invite not only included a registry

(15:05):
link to like Amazon and Target,but also link to send a donation to
the child's charity of choice. Soyou're double dipping. So the host asked
you to bring your gift as wellas the receipt showing the donation you made
on behalf of the child, andat the end of the party they announced
how much money that would be donated. Well, they asked for their receipt
back so you can claim it,you know, at the end of the

(15:26):
year. And the parents said,well, they're going to use the charity
receipts to offset their entertainment expense ofthe party for the child. That gross.
Next level. That is gross.It's one of the other present or
charity. You can't do both.Here's another level ten offense. There was
a mom that threw her child's birthdayparty to build a bear. All the
kids got to make a bear.Cool so far. At the end of

(15:46):
the party, she made them givetheir creations to her child. That's terrible.
Who does that? Does that?Why would you do that? And
who needs that many stuffies? Ineed to meet this person that is the
most spoiled child ever, don't doI mean why of course those kids are
gonna assume and they get to keeptheir bears. I mean, I can't

(16:07):
even imagine doing that. I couldn'timagine asking those kids to give that.
Thanks for putting that together, Goahead and give it up. Thanks.
It's terrible. What we're looking foris bad adult behavior at kids parties.
I'm racking my brain. Thankfully,did anybody drink at these kids parties.
Yeah, I mean like, look, I'll be honest. One year old
birthday party, that's a parents party. Yeah, we had a ridiculous party.

(16:30):
Finally, I think when my daughterwas the last birthday party we threw,
I think she was three, shedidn't like it. We had seventy
people, Taco truck out front,VIP bar upstairs, and for you,
you know what I mean, bouncehouse face paints. And then at the
end she was like, Daddy,I don't like these. Yeah, I
just want to have a couple homiesover. And I looked at it.
I almost was like, this isn'tabout you, as I'm in the bounce

(16:52):
house exactly. Poor things. Iknow right away this if you've got one
used to talkback feature on the iHeartradio app, it's that little red microphone
if you're streaming Star one on onethree. Right now, we're going to
get into what's training here momentarily.What do you have a lot of local
business is upset about the maybe newparking meter rules. Yeah, downtown they

(17:14):
want to extend the hours and peopleare upset. We'll tell you about it
next. Hang on Star one onone three. It's Marcus Kouri It's Thursday,
Good morning, Talbot. What's trendingon Star one one three, What's
happening in entertainment news, the biggeststories of the day, and everything people
are talking about today in the Bay. So, this plan to extend enforcement

(17:36):
hours of parking meters across the cityis facing strong opposition from Citi's restaurants.
The Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskinis calling for an economic impact or report
so they can see how increasing themedia hours will actually affect businesses. So
what it's talking about is twenty eightthousand parking meters will go from ending at

(17:59):
six pm to act actually ending atten pm, and then they're also going
to enforce parking meters six pm tosix pm on Sundays. Give me another
reason not to come downtown. Iknow, honestly, I'm being honest.
Who lives in the burbs? Seriously, So, with pandemic AID ending in
a budget deficit of one hundred andthirty million, they could make eighteen million
an annual revenue if they do thiswith the meters. But restaurants are still

(18:23):
trying to recover from the pandemic,and so they're hoping that they will delay
the extended parking meter rollout until theimpact can be studied further. I mean
they're still trying to figure out howto get San Francisco back in business.
Not the time to nickel and dime. No, you know, And again
I'm not in city government or realizeit's the bit's a thing. There are

(18:45):
a lot of moving parts, butyou really want to impress me make parking
free. I know, it's theway that the city makes money, and
that way they can like repair Muniand do stuff like that. But and
then you're like, well take publictransit. We'll guess what. Like,
I don't feel safe on park withmy family. Sorry, it depends on
what time of date is, youknow. But aren't you making money with
muni or no? Yeah, butpe bridership is down exactly mean, yeah,

(19:11):
all right, moving on. JasonMomoa aquaman himself is going to be
hosting Discoveries annual Shark Week, andhe says, as the host of Shark
Week, I'm beyond excited. Thismeans more to me than a week of
talking about sharks. Is a chancefor me to learn and share my connection
to these amazing creatures. And hesays that his love of Sharks came long

(19:33):
before he was an Aquaman. Nowthe premier date has not been announced,
but Mamoa will reprise his role asthe King of Atlantis in Aquaman and the
Last Kingdom December twentieth. Yes,and finally the most important story to me
today hit count announced yesterday, hitCount, kit Kat, hit Kat.
I was going to let you playthrough. No, don't. Hit Kat

(19:55):
announced yesterday it's latest flavor, tellme kit Kat true Oh I mamma.
So it's a mix of buttery creamand sugar atop those crispy ways. It's
an homage to the beloved dessert thatbrings back memories of summer at the amusement
park State Faro Boardwalk. Good youcan get these June sixth, which also

(20:15):
happens to be National Turo Day.June sixth is National Turro Day. I
have the best picture of I thinkI showed it to you. The family
and I were at Great America.My daughter had just gotten a turo and
then she and my wife, andthis was years ago. She and my
wife went on some ride in thePeanuts area, Snoopy area. She's like,
Daddy, hold my turro. Ohit was gone. And then She

(20:37):
looked over from the ride and catchedme taking catched me. Oh boy,
we're both doing really good today.Caught me taking a bite the look on
her face, and I got itand I turned it into a meme.
Murder, absolute murder. I'll haveto post that on National Turro Day.
That's exciting, all right. Sothe Governor of Montana signed to bill Wednesday

(20:57):
yesterday banning TikTok in the state ofMontana. I love that, And no
it wasn't Kevin Cosner. I'm justgonna put that out there. The governor
tweeted that he's banned TikTok in Montana, quote to protect Montagnans. Montanans,
how do you enforce that? That'sthe big question. I don't believe they
can, but I don't know whyyou can really ban TikTok. Is just

(21:19):
getting rid of it. So it'scontroversial. It's the furthest step that a
state government has taken to restrict TikTokover perceived security concerns. I will say
this, there's some videos on TikTokthat I really enjoy. Dog videos,
funny videos. There's just a lotof crap out there. Well, here's

(21:40):
the problems it has to do withsecurity concerns that the company that owns TikTok
is selling user data and it's asecurity risk to like org government, right,
So that's the issue. But Ialso like it because, like my
niece is on there and I wantI want her to be safe. Sure,
other groups are saying it infringes onour firstmen rights does so it'll be

(22:02):
very interesting. We'll see what happensthere. I'll keep you posted. I
think one I think they're just makinga statement. I don't think I'm not
sure this is gonna hold now ona national level. Then then maybe you
know, things will happen. Butuntil other states fall in, who knows.

was lunch, there was a conversation. Yeah, you guys, look on
hervie. I just jotted down somenotes from when we were talking about Hey,
okay, let's just call her.Let's call her and see what she
thought about the date, and let'ssee if we can grab a second date.

(26:10):
Greg, go back on mute.Here we go. Okay, Hello,
I may speak with Amy. Please. This is Amy Amy. It's
Marcus and Corey from Star one onone three. Oh, I don't listen

(26:30):
to your show. Sorry, Well, thank you for your honestly, I'll
take that. Okay, are youactually you're like from a radio station?
Yes? Do you mind talking withus about a date you recently went on?
Yes? Um, this is sofunny. Uh sure, yeah,
I don't see why not? Great? Thank you. So we want to

(26:52):
ask you about your date with withGreg. Um. Okay, he he
dug you a lot, you thoughtyou were cool. He'd love to take
you out again, he said.He's he's left texting even a voicemail,
and he's feeling ghosted. So whathappened? Yeah, what did he do?
Yeah? No, Greg was Gregwas great. He was he was

(27:14):
really charming and and fun. Wehad a great we had a great date.
Um, it was just like Ifeel like he at one point he
said something really kind of weird andunsettling, and from that moment on I
wasn't I wasn't sure about what doyou say? Yeah, so, like
we had we had just finished lunch. I don't know what Greg told you
so far, but we had justfinished lunch, and um, we were

(27:38):
we were going to order dessert orwe were thinking about dessert and then and
we were talking about like movies andstuff and whatever. But then out of
nowhere, Greg goes, did youknow statistically speaking that your significant other is
the most likely person to murder you? Like like out of nowhere, like

(27:59):
appro po of nothing. Yeah,and and oh my god, that's actually
true. Here we go, Okay, that may be. It might be
true, but like, who saysthat, especially on a first date?
Tell me it's true. I wasjust kind of like creeped out to be
honest and just power through until Icould leave. I get it. That

(28:22):
is kind of a weird thing tojust blurt out so so Amy Greg's on
the phone, Greg, Greg,Greg, are you serious here? Greg?
You could see how that might beweird. Greg. Yeah, I
just want to say, like,Amy, uh, well, first of
all, like I had a greattime with you. Um, I really

(28:42):
really enjoyed your company, and Iwas honestly just nervous. I was just
trying to keep the conversation going,like I love true crime, and like,
you know, I wasn't trying tofreak you out. It just kind
of like popped in my head likewe were kind of talking about a movie
about a serial killer from what Iremember, and like that's why it kind

(29:03):
of came out, Like I feltlike it was in line with our conversation.
I wasn't trying to, you know, just bring up this like random
fact, you know. I obviouslyI was trying to stay within the contact
of what we were talking about.Unfortunately, Sorry, Yeah, it's really
unfortunate that Corey's already taken because Ilove that stuff. So he was you

(29:26):
were nervous. He was nervous.Greg was nervous. You guys, I
promise you I'm not a creep,totally normal person. I do love true
crime, obviously, we both do. Amy, did you have a good
time. I did, and Idid. Yeah, so can we get
a second date? I feel likenow that I am remembering the context in
which you said that, it makesa lot more sense. Um. So

(29:51):
yeah, I would say yes toa second date as long as we're in
a public place. Now, everybody'sI like it. You know what that
means. We gotta win. Thisis the weirdest win of all time.
All right, I like it.I know you do. Okay, you
two hang on, go kill sometime. We'll be right back old please

from the two thousands, the nineties, and today. It's Star one O
one three, It's Marcus and Coreyseven twenty one Thursday. My dad's celebration

(30:45):
of life is tomorrow. Yeah,thanks everybody that reached out. I really
appreciated. Planning for one of thesethings has been difficult. It's like a
wedding. Well, you're really you'rereally going for it with everything that you're
involving in this celebration, and it'sawesome, but it's a lot, it's
a lot to do. But somethingreally um, something really neat, has

(31:06):
happened in such sadness is that youreally find out who your riders are.
You really find out who your yourpeople are. Like I've got cousins coming
into town, and I have onecousin coming yesterday, and he and I
have gotten really close over the lastfive years or so. And I come
from a gigantic Mexican family, Butlike, did anybody else have that family
worry? It's huge, but younever see each other and you never talk

(31:30):
to each other unless somebody passes awaysometimes. I mean it was really nice.
Is my family's very, very small, and when my mom passed away,
she had so many friends that werefamily and they really stepped up and
helped my sister die and that thatmade a huge difference because we're already going
through it and grieving, so tohave them there to kind of dot somemize

(31:52):
and cross some teas, it takesit takes the pressure off you. Yeah,
if you've got a family member ora friend going through it in the
same way that I went through aChances are there are things that need to
get done that they just don't wantto do. For example, I did
not want to take the time toput together a photo collage for my dad,
but you have to if you wantto have it on time, like
a big posterboard with pictures. Right, Well, we did a video montage

(32:15):
of pictures like, but they help. My point is offered to do that
for somebody, because it's really hardto do. Anytime I do something that
has to do with my dad,like, it's really emotionally difficulty. I
put off those pictures, I putoff ordering the prayer cards. But my
point is the beautiful things that havehappened are like reconnecting with my cousins and

(32:37):
then us collectively making a pact.Three or four of them were here last
November, right before my dad passed, just to visit with him. And
then I realized, I've got somereally awesome cousins. And they helped you
move him around, get him upstairsin his wheelchair, get him to the
party premo. What else do youneed? Yea? And it just felt

(32:58):
really good to have a squad.Yeah, everybody needs squad. Yeah,
so my cousin Peter came in yesterday. I say, even if it's one
person exactly, and I told him, I said, you were you're my
backbone, my rock and and andyou know, again, he and I
haven't always been connected, but we'reconnected now. And the best part is
he brought his dad, who isonly a couple of years younger than my
dad, and I didn't realize howsimilar they are. Yeah, they're basically

(33:22):
the same dude. So hanging outwith his dad was a lot like hanging
out with my dad. It wasjust really nice to see him and sit
and talk to him. But uh, you know, and and then the
other person who's really stepped up isour old nanny who watched my daughter until
she was about five or six.Yeah, I shoulder tapped her because I

(33:43):
don't know anything about floral arrangements.Right, Well, a lot of times
you can get someone to do thatfor you exactly. And she was like,
don't worry, I'll handle it.And we went down to the church
yesterday and she helped me pull outtable. She and her husband pulling out
tables, checking the seating, dowe have enough seats? Are the table's

(34:04):
gonna fit? What's the you know, what's the arrangement gonna be. And
then she started pulling out flowers andmaking the centerpieces right there, and she's
like, don't worry, I'm gonnatake these home and take care of them
for you. That's great. Andif you've had a kid in the last
fifteen years on the coast side,you know Lupe probably she is the most
like high functioning childcare person I've evermet in my life. That's great.

(34:27):
And I'll never forget when we hiredher, I was such a hard ass.
My wife was like, so,Lupe wants to know what her days
off are gonna be whatever. Iliterally said the words she don't work,
you don't get paid. That wasmy those are my words, right,
And then about I know, Iknow, I know, hear me out.
About two months in she was operatingat such a high level. My
wife would come to me, Lupewants to know if she one day off

(34:47):
cool? Paid? Cool? Shewants to know if she can take a
week off. Do you want meto pay the week? What else she
need? Does she need me travelingmoney? I got her off. So
she's been fantastic. She's an absoluteangel, and I just it's just nice
to have people help because it's reallysuper overwhelming. But yeah, um,

(35:08):
we will be all going down atthe Catholic church there and half in Bay
tomorrow. And then the best partis my dad really wanted a party.
He's like, when I go,don't spend any money on me, but
if you do, Mariachi's Tacos tequila. Yeah, it's happening though, super
exciting. Anyway, that's a quickupdate. Glad it's going smoothly. Yeah,

(35:30):
super good. Um seven twenty sixor check what's trending here in a
little bit. What do you have? Well, restaurants in the city downtown
are upset about these new parking meters. Saw that things that they might implement

good news story about a German shepherddog named Blaze. Did not see that
come in Indian River County, Florida. He was on his own for two
months before finally being found last week. For fifty days, he navigated traffic,

(36:40):
stayed away from wildlife, found foodacross approximately ten miles of both urban
and rural land. Now. Hehad just been adopted from a shelter in
March. Was at his new homewhen he leapt over a fence, and
about two dozen volunteers, including lawenforcement and animal control officers, tracked him
as he traveled along these roads andpasture lands and canals. In April,

(37:05):
after a failed twenty minute pursuit,they lost track of him again, but
they finally found him seven weeks afterhe went missing. He's found and he's
home, and he's healthy and he'shappy. He's cute. I love a
good dog story. Yeah, doinggood news right now. I also love
a good incidental hero story. Sothat's where I'm taking you. Guy by
the name of Bradley driving by ahouse one day and he saw smoke coming

(37:29):
from the roof, and so hestopped, and then he realized there was
a grandma trapped inside with two kidsunder five. Oh no. In true
superhero fashion, Bradley rushes into thehouse, recalling that it was pitch black,
he couldn't see anything. He grabbedGrandma. Sorry, Mima, runs

(37:50):
back outside and goes back in tograb the kids. Unfortunately, he got
overwhelmed by the smoke and everything else, but he was able to The fire
department got there in time to savethe kids too. Oh that's good.
So everybody is in the hospital.But yeah, he's out there saving lives.
Grandma said, he is the reason. I'm sorry. The sun said,
he is the reason that my grandmotheris alive. Crowdfund set up,

(38:15):
which is something else I like.I like it when people use the internet
for good so purposes. The neighborsare getting together to help them rebuild the
house and the whole thing. Butanyway, Bradley my hero today, that's
my good news. Seven forty four. We'll check what's trending in a couple
what do you have. This planto extend parking enforcement, meaning longer hours
that you have to pay in thecity, is not making people happy.

(38:38):
Oh tell y all about that comingup at seven fifty stay with us Star

What's trending is brought to you byCash Creek Casino Resort. Enjoy world
class gaming, nightlife and live entertainment. So we talked about this plan to
extend enforcement hours at parking meters acrossSan Francisco yesterday and there's a lot of
opposition, especially from the city's restaurants. Yeah, we're trying to get people
back downtown. And now you're saying, oh, well, the parking meters

(39:22):
aren't going to stop at six pm. They're gonna go all the way to
ten pm, and then Sunday it'sgoing to be noon to six. And
here's the other problem is they're notcheap. No, you're paying like three
four bucks an hour. It dependson where you are in the city too,
like it's more expensive in certain areas. But now MUNI is saying we
need this money to help work onservice delays and other cuts across the lines.

(39:45):
But the restaurants are saying, weneed people to come back downtown.
Yeah, and if you're going tocharge them more for parking, that's not
helping. I understand city government isdifficult, but dude, we pay a
lot of taxes and a lot ofthings are not getting done. Am I
right or wrong? No, You'renot not political. You're not wrong as
a citizen. It's just living inthe city on the daily. There's just

(40:07):
sometimes when I'm walking around, goingthis is such a beautiful city. Oh
