Speaker 12 (09:37):
Christmas.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
It's John Day and Rich good morning, Ella, good morning.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
I need to play about my best friend. I feel
like I need to do kind of like an intervention
for her. Okay, So she's she's turned like going to
pro games, like she's trying to make it like a
dating app like us going to games and like court
side tickets. She'll drop like four hundred dollars on tickets,

(10:05):
and then she'll spend the whole game just like zooming
in on the players of her phone, and then she'll
look at their social and she'll DM them and see
if they want to go out with her. And she
has not gotten a single.

Speaker 7 (10:19):
That's kind of sad.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm spending a lot of money on them.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Is she ugly?

Speaker 5 (10:23):
Yeah, she's not ugly, but I'm sure they're just so
fluttering with messages. They probably don't even open them.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, but if she's court side, If she's court sided
and she's attractive, the ball players send people to those girls.
So she's probably she's probably really ugly, she's probably.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
She's probably not just ugly, she probably really Okay.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Wait, are they actually like I'm ugly?

Speaker 12 (10:55):
Are they actually like court side court side tickets? Are
they just like on the rail a little bit closer?
Because I feel like if she's spending that much money,
like there would have to be some eyes on her.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yes, George, I know a girl.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I know a girl that was like like I think
she was like in the sixteenth seventeenth row and a
guy came over and said hey, and I don't want
to say his name, but he said, so and SO
saw you and would like to take you to dinner.
And she said, oh my god, yeah, and she went
and then she became so and so sidechicked for a
long time.

Speaker 12 (11:32):
I swear didn't that happen like some actress her model
got discovered on the jumbo tron at a game. Oh yeah,
like that.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
But that wasn't a ballplayer going up through it. That
was a cameraman filming her. And they ever went and
bought all the beers. She was wearing a teacher with
a beer on.

Speaker 14 (11:45):
Seriously.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, but I'm talking about a girl, and that's what happens.
A lot of these pro ballplayers see the attractive girls
and then you just see him in pairs and they
come over and they say something to them.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
So you're saying Ella's theory of going sideline court side
is actually a good way to possibly get a date
with ladies. It just may not be. She may not
be their type.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I see it all the time.

Speaker 12 (12:08):
Oh, the guys just haven't bit yet.

Speaker 7 (12:10):
Yeah no, I mean she's probably getting it. She's sliding
to their dms and they're just like, glad you enjoyed
the game, and that's it. There's no there's nothing else.
They click on her profile.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Damn.

Speaker 12 (12:21):
Are you guys like sitting down in the seats a
little time? Are you guys like going down into those
spots where you can get the free drinks because you
guys have those tickets?

Speaker 6 (12:28):
You know.

Speaker 12 (12:28):
I feel like you got to like stand up, get
direction and eyes on you to get noticed.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
You know, Oh, maybe we're not doing it. Not you
gotta be more active a thing that happens. I'm totally shocked.
I thought she was totally crazy.

Speaker 7 (12:44):
So your problem is not that you didn't get noticed.
Your problem that she's spending money and nothing's coming out
of it at all.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Yeah, she's spending a lot of money. And I asked her.
I asked her about it because I was kind of concerned,
and she said that she's gonna just write it off
on her checks. Is as like content creation.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
She's also probably gonna go to jail.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
I mean she's thinking, and I'm having a great time.
I mean, I'm you know, she's staying for my ticket,
I'm getting a ton of drinks. Like, I'm having a
great time. But I feel bad now. I feel like
I'm like taking advantage of her.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well, if she keeps inviting you, you're not taking advantage
of her.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
If you said, at this point, should she just take
the hands and.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, maybe she should go to a bar.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Why she just go to a bar and see who
hits on HER's and nobody hits on her, then I
stand by what I said.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
She's not just ugly.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I don't have to keep harving on it.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
She wasn't married athlete.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
Yeah, I mean there's girls like a wag.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Okay, she go to the y m c A.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Just flirt with one of those older guys in the
older league. Get an athlete there. Former former CEO of
the company.

Speaker 12 (14:03):
Have you guys seen those tiktoks of the girls who
are like I said, I was always going to be
front side, I was going to be court side, and
I was always going to be a wag. And it's
their husband's playing it like the Lifetime Open gym. They
were like, I was never specific about which court side.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
It was a good spirited well good luck ella, keep going,
that's fun, enjoy the game.

Speaker 10 (14:26):
Thank you, Okay, your boy baby doing it, and make them.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Dance when they come off to you. Hey, Rachel, you're
on the air. Thanks for holding Hey.

Speaker 15 (14:39):
So, I need you guys to help us settle this.
We we have been having a heated discussion in my
house about the movie The Nightmare before Christmas.

Speaker 7 (14:51):
Okay, go on.

Speaker 15 (14:53):
It is so I love the mind that it is
one hundred percent of Halloween movie and my kids keep
trying to watch it right now, and I keep telling them, no,
it's a Halloween movie.

Speaker 8 (15:03):
Let's watch Hell for.

Speaker 15 (15:05):
The Santa Claus. And my husband has been watching it
with them when I'm not home and it's so annoying.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
So what do you guys think?

Speaker 15 (15:12):
Christmas or Halloween? Is it a Christmas or a Halloween movie?

Speaker 7 (15:15):
This is a tough debate.

Speaker 12 (15:16):
I've seen this one before.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I've never actually seen the movie all the way through,
so I feel like I'm not gonna be very good
in this shape.

Speaker 7 (15:23):
I own the soundtrack. I've probably watched it with my
kids and by myself, I would say at least thirty
times by now. Okay, So I guess the debate would be,
is there more about Christmas or more about Halloween?

Speaker 12 (15:36):
I mean, my meme loves that I'm Before Christmas, so
we always used to watch it growing up. I feel
like it's a Christmas movie because Jack Skellington dresses up
as Santa Claus. Like the whole gist of the movie
is going and through the tree, through the door, and
then he's in He's gonna be Santa Claus and he's
driving the sleigh. Like it's not flipped. It starts as
a Halloween movie and turns into a Christmas movie.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
I agree with the title is Nightmare before Christmas?

Speaker 7 (16:00):
I mean Christmas is in the title.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
It's true.

Speaker 7 (16:02):
It ends, it ends after Halloween's already. I mean it begins,
its Halloween's ending. The first scene of the movie is
Halloween's over. We had a great year.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I can answer this for you. That and I've never
seen it. I've never seen it. I don't know anything
about it.

Speaker 12 (16:14):
I never seen this movie.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Here's how I can answer answer this for you. On Halloween.
The movie comes out. It's out during Halloween on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's out.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
It's not out right now. They're not pushing anywhere. You
don't see any songs from Nightmare and whatever the hell
the movie is called.

Speaker 12 (16:28):
But also think about Disneyland. Disneyland, it's tough because they
bring out Nightmare. They change the Haunted Mansion to Nightmare
before Christmas at Halloween.

Speaker 11 (16:36):
I'm not a.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Disneyland right now. I know what you're talking about. This
scene right now, I go to Netflix. I don't see
Nightmare before Halloween. What the hell is any movie before Christmas.
I don't see anybody wearing a Nightmare before Jack Skeleton
costumes right now walking around for Halloween.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
I don't see that on a Christmas card. I don't
think the debate is easily answered.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
It's a Halloween movie yesterday before Christmas.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Was October thirteenth, nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 7 (17:03):
So I think it the Halloween movie. No, I think
it's a Christmas movie.

Speaker 12 (17:07):
It's Christmas movie too.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
But first of all, I mean, Greg, that's a good point.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
But it's not like there's any reference to that movie
at all right now, and we're in the middle of
Christmas season.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (17:18):
I think you see holiday socks and stuff with Jack
Skellington on it.

Speaker 12 (17:21):
And that's the thing that you see Christmas pajamas with
Jack Skellington and Sally.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
I was actually in here with that.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
I see I see, I see Santa Claus hats, I
saw snow I see Tinsel, I see Mariah Carey.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
I don't see Jack Skeleton.

Speaker 7 (17:33):
Wellington is a Halloween decoration in people's front yards. Thank you,
so thank you.

Speaker 12 (17:37):
But he has a Santa had on.

Speaker 7 (17:39):
It's tough.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
I don't see him right right now. But look outside
the window right now. Oh look, I see Snowman.

Speaker 7 (17:44):
On Christmas Eve, we watch Polar Express. We don't watch
The Nightmare before Chris Boom, so maybe Halloween movie Boom.
I disagree. I'm gonna change Halloween.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Rachel, that's it. Halloween movie. Thanks for calling in.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
But I mean, if your kids want to watch it,
let him watch it with the half so strip, why
are you so Why are you so barrel right now?

Speaker 7 (18:02):
Why are you so strict? That's what I'm doing at
my house. I got no control in the closet.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yesterday I was in Los Angeles for the day.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
When I came home, my wife had decorated the whole
house with Christmas stuff.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
No Christmas tree though.

Speaker 7 (18:31):
Well, she needs your help putting it up. She can't
live well.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
But we didn't have a Christmas tree last year, so
I don't know if it's a tradition not of having
a tree.

Speaker 7 (18:38):
Or not having What are the prizes for Christmas?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Go?

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Well, one of the reasons of not having a tree
is dogs peel over the tree.

Speaker 7 (18:46):
We have six dogs, real or fan.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, and then they pee on the presence.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
So we we always, even if we have a tree,
we have to wait until Christmas morning to take all
the presents out of the other room.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
And put them on the tree, so the dogs on
pel them. But you try something.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Different, yeah, So we put up our Christmas tree a
couple weeks ago. Weeks yeah, I think it was like
two weeks ago. Yeah, and I didn't put any decorations
on it, so it's just been sitting there naked. We
do have a star at the top, and I look
at it and I think, I kind of like it
this way. So I'm thinking, I'm not going to actually

(19:23):
decorate the tree.

Speaker 7 (19:24):
Does it have lights?

Speaker 1 (19:26):
It has lights on it, and it has a star
at the top, and I just kind of like the
simplicity of it. But it kind of feels wrong at
the same time, like it's a Christmas tree, it's supposed
to have decorations. So I'm having this argument in my head.
Do I decorate it just because that's their tradition and
we've always done it that way, or do we try
something new and just leave it naked because I kind
of like how it looks that way.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
You're just off the top of my head, my opinion
is to decorate it because you got kids, and when
the kids are gone then you could be mature.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Okay, So I thought that they they I asked the kids, like,
do you feel like we should decorate the tree or
living and but they both kind of like it that
way too.

Speaker 10 (20:03):
Man.

Speaker 12 (20:03):
They're like us, we hated decorating the Christmas tree felt
like a chore, like it was. It just was not
fun for us, Like we didn't want so was.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
It because like, was your mom particular about where the
ornaments go?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Because I kind of.

Speaker 7 (20:15):
No, she wasn't like that.

Speaker 12 (20:16):
He just like would rather like play on the weed
than like the Christmas tree. Like and it was like, now,
I probably would like it because it's all the little
ornaments that we had that we made growing up. But
when I when we were Addie niece's age, we wanted
no part of the tree.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Easton doesn't really care either way. He's like decorated, don't decorate.
It not a big deal to me. I just care
about the presence underneath.

Speaker 10 (20:35):
Right.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Addie was like Addie I was worried about because she
actually enjoys like helping me when I'm putting the ornaments up,
and she has started to get particular about where the
ornaments go as well, which I love.

Speaker 12 (20:46):
It is literally a mini you just copy and pasted.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
When I look back at my childhood, when I think
about Christmas, and I gotta talk to my sister about this.
As she remembers this, we were so so low, low,
low income. I don't think my parents ever perd just
Christmas decorations. I think they were all hand me downs.
So I always thought a Christmas tree just looks like yeah,
like our trees always look bah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
They're just like different colored balls. There's just some tensil.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Then I find out later in life that you put
tinsel in your tree, Like that's like low class to
put tinsel in your tree. I'm telling you, I'll put
telling the things I've learned over my life as an
adult that I look back at our childhood, our trees
were get.

Speaker 7 (21:24):
To but it's all those home made ornaments that look
so pretty to your mom.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
She loved that stuff, I know, and now like those
those I've come in the last couple of years to
really love the homemade ornaments.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
But I wasn't always there, so I didn't put.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Them on the main tree.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
They had a wreath that they.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
It was still display. They were still special. They had
their own specials. And now I'm like, I wish we
had more of them, like we don't have the.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
I'm like, it's my.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
Fault because I put them away there in the.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Door, Yes, in the other room.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Times one O four to seven, Kiss FM, it's John
Jay and Rich.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Good morning, Gia, good morning. What's going on?

Speaker 13 (22:20):
Okay, So I'm gonna tell you what happened to me
last week. So my kitchen caught on fire last week.
And it wasn't like a little fire like you know,
I burned a toes. No, it was like flames, right,
So I am freaking out.

Speaker 8 (22:35):
I call one one one and then the dispasser has
my address and I.

Speaker 13 (22:39):
Don't know what happened to me, but my brain completely
shot down. So I'm like freaking out, pacing up and
down my house, look everywhere.

Speaker 8 (22:50):
And then I remember that we taught my five year
old are address the tune of.

Speaker 10 (22:56):
Espresso because she's obsessed with Serena Carpenter. So in the
middle of this emergency, I literally first singing at.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
The top of my lung.

Speaker 10 (23:08):
No Street in hin Chander, Arizona.

Speaker 13 (23:17):
I felt so shaped for the last five days.

Speaker 10 (23:19):
And my husband has literally.

Speaker 8 (23:20):
Told everyone because he sings. It's the most hilarious.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
Thing, you know.

Speaker 12 (23:26):
I kind of think that's so cute, though dead You're
clever to teach her daughter like a song to remember
her address.

Speaker 7 (23:32):
Yeah, I mean, if you can remember something, do it
their song, right, catchy cat?

Speaker 10 (23:37):
She loves it, so like, why not, right?

Speaker 5 (23:39):
But it helped me for sure.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
So you're on the phone with the nine to one
operator singing espresso to remember the address, and then the fire.
Did the fire department show up? Did they get the
fire out? Or what if your who house burned down?
Were you trying to sing the song?

Speaker 10 (23:52):
They didn't. I thought they were literally going to come
in through the door, like is this one?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
You know?

Speaker 8 (23:57):
I was like, no, go.

Speaker 7 (24:00):
A far, we're putting it out exactly.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
That is such a cute story. Kind of thank you.

Speaker 10 (24:08):
Yeah, I mean it was kind of disastrous, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah, I know if your whole house would have burned down,
I guess because your house is okay.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, my house is okay.

Speaker 9 (24:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Well, thanks for sharing that, Gia.

Speaker 10 (24:18):
All Right, you guys, I have a wonderful day.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Thanks for listening.

Speaker 10 (24:22):
Thanks you too.

Speaker 14 (24:23):
Heya and rig wake you left this fifteen year old boy,
he's about to become the youngest graduate in the history
of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
And when I tell you that, I think you have
a visual like I think of this used to be
the show called Doogie Howser.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, I think they redid he was like this. Neil
Patrick Harris played him.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
He's you know this kid that's so well spoken that
it's just this brilliant kid. So here he is being
interviewed and he is exactly that. Like this kid is fifteen.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Howser listen to how he talks.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
So every now and then I'll get like a shocking
reaction from someone, but most of my classmates were really
accepting on me.

Speaker 8 (25:06):
They don't treat me as a kid, they treat me
as an equal.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
At eleven, he was smarter than me. I knew that
I had.

Speaker 13 (25:11):
Given him probably everything I had, and that he probably
needed better teachers.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
When we first came here, I on Maglie fell in
love with the campus, the people here.

Speaker 11 (25:20):
So yeah, he's worked so hard but also followed his
passion and stayed just awesome.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
Wow, doesn't he graduate with five degrees? Not just one?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Like me at fifteen? And you asked me how school
you are? Like like there was a one.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Or you know what I'm saying, or he just spoke clearly,
wow and real quick.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
This little girl, this is the little girl.

Christmas Caaren story? So?

Speaker 10 (32:01):
So, I work at a Tjmax and Home Goods part time,
part time, and let me tell you, I don't the
women's bathroom. I don't know why women have to. It
seems like they have to go into our bathroom and
just blow it up. It is bonappy, and you can
go the men's bathroom and it's clean. It's so sad.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
You're totally right. You still got to a grocery store.
I clean bathrooms, and I don't know what happens, but
it's like they leave the house to go to the
store to make the worst mess.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
I feel like I want to make a personal apology
because I have blown up the bathroom and home goods.

Speaker 10 (32:40):
The other right when you the night, you're so gross.
His father goes to me, he goes, can my daughter
use the bathroom? Because he's in there with his like
six or seven year old daughter. And I go in there.
I'm like, oh God, oh God, okay, let.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
Me go in there.

Speaker 10 (32:54):
I'm gonna go in there. So I go in there,
and sure enough, there's just it's disgusting. There's just toilet
paper and crap.

Speaker 8 (33:01):
Crap, Like how did women do that?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I mean, I never missed.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
So I am a minute.

Speaker 10 (33:11):
And I walk out of there, and I said, sure, no,
I wouldn't let her go in there.

Speaker 8 (33:17):
I wouldn't go in there.

Speaker 10 (33:20):
And so, you know, he goes and he goes in
the you know, taketure to the man's but I call
him the radios for one of the managers. Somebody the
bathroom is disgusting and a little girl needed to use them.
He's like, well, why don't you clean it. I'm like,
uh no, I don't think so that thing needs to
be blown up. I'm even going in there. I don't

(33:45):
even use the thing. I mean next door, like old
eighty or something.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Well, you said in your message to you said, I
mean there's one thing. I'm waiting for you to get to.
The one thing you say. It was disgusting that day.

Speaker 10 (34:00):
What, oh my god, somebody just I don't know, just
like blew up, had total diarrhea all over the wall.
How it was I don't know. I don't even know.
And it's women's staff room. The walls grow.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Behind the toilet like it looks like if they were
taking their pants off and they didn't make it, like
they didn't sit down fast enough. But even then wouldn't
the trajectory of the diarrhea be going down.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
I don't know, man, we should try.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
You're bringing back very traumatic memories for me of cleaning
grocery stores because I've seen all that. It's it's amazing, all.

Right, Sylvia, thank you for sharing that with us.

Speaker 7 (34:46):
