yeah, now, mandatory evacuations inPolk County along the Trinity River area and
Lake Livingston Damn area. The riverAuthority increase discharge for the Damn area and

(04:15):
of the eighties nineties, And TodayDana in the Morning and producer Anthony We're
talking about gossiping. I've got somerules for gossiping. I'm not the best
at sticking to those rules, butI'm trying to become a better person and
not fall into the trap and wehave got Olivia calling in from Kingwood.
Now you come from a big family, what are your rules? What's gossiping

(04:35):
in your life? There's lots ofdrama and the oh do you get I
think the same way like you.If I'm talking about them, what are
they saying about me? Yes,so I have to say I have to
say to them, hey, that'snone of my business. I had to
say that to my system all theother day. Please don't tell me that
that's none of my business. Butthis is something that has stayed with me
for a while. One morning Igot up, was taking the kids to

(04:58):
school and I heard you kind asong about heard from another you've been messing
around and you said that goes outto Adam Levine and I thought, oh,
no, it's his marriage over andI thought, that's none of my
business. Hey, that was along time ago. Remember when he was
Yeah it was. And now everytime I hear that song, I think

(05:18):
about Adam Levine and I wish wedidn't hear gossip about the celebrities and their
personal personal business, that kind ofthing. You know, Olivia, it's
funny when you say that, becauseI refuse to watch movies featuring people that
I'm so sick of hearing about theirlives, right, And I just love

(05:38):
finding actors that you don't even knowof, Like, I enjoy watching those
types of shows so much more thanthe ones who are airing dirty laundry or
the media is all over them.I'm like, I'm so done with it
because you get caught up in it. Well, you know, ever since
the deal with Tom Cruise and Brookshields, my oldest sister says she can't stand
to watch Tom Cruise, And Isaid, I don't have to like somebody's

(06:01):
personal point of views. I don'thave to care about Barber Striis Sands or
Jat and Fonda's politics. Able toenjoy their performances. I can still appreciate
Tom cruise performance. Yeah, Idon't care. I don't care if he
believes this or that they have aright to spake their minds, and I
can still enjoy their performances. Itry to separate the tip. Yeah,

(06:21):
you're good at that. Not manyof us can do that. Are you
the older sister of your brood ofsiblings? No, actually, I'm the
youngest of eighteen. Wait, Olivia, there are eighteen siblings in your family.
Yes, nine boys and nine girls. Oh my gosh. Oh that's
like a record. We're setting arecord right here. And you're the baby.

(06:43):
I am the youngest. Yes,I work with a doctor who was
one of twenty. Oh my god, that is amazing. Well this we've
got an expert now, yeah,really think so. Anything we say is
wrong. Olivia knows she's been throughsomething that none of us could ever even
comprehend in five lifetimes. Hey canyou tell that to my husband? Hey,

(07:05):
God, bless him for putting upwith you. Right. Yeah,
thanks, anyway, thanks for listening. Youre Olivia appreciate
