Speaker 3 (01:03):
First of all, we when we started dating we always
talked about how like Thanksgiving. We always wanted like Thanksgiving
to be kind of like our holiday. And so we've
been hosting every year, except we didn't host last year
because of the wedding, and so now it's like our return.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
But if you're doing both.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
If you're doing friends Giving and Thanksgiving, you can't do
both on the same day.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Sophia from UC Riverside interning here. How's it going so far?
By the way you learned anything, it's going great.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
I've learned a whole bunch just.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Like here, Like being more excited about Thanksgiving if it's
your first one back after a long time, things like that. Yes,
exactly what year are you?

Speaker 5 (02:05):
So?

Speaker 4 (02:05):
I'm a third year?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Third year junior yes, third year junior and an intern
here sitting in the back room between them all. Now
do you do friends giving? Or family? Is here? What
do you do?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
So we do family?

Speaker 4 (02:18):
My mom she lives in Vegas, but the whole family
gets together either at my house or my aunt's house
and we just do the whole shebang.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Does that?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
A bring something for the shebang?

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Usually they'll bring like one dish, maybe a pie, but
usually the host cooks the entire meal.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
So you or your aunt, yes, or my mom can
you cook? I can?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I'm the little soux chef in the back making all
love us Sue.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I love as Sue. Anyway, it's just start time to
thinking about it. I like it. The holidays are good
times generally right, good spirits, good moods. Partly Sunday today
high's in the upper seventies, mid eighties Inland. That's what
you got. Oh, you know, it's interesting here when you
grow up and you're growing up, you are taken care

(03:01):
of by your parents right to look after you generally,
that's that's the idea supposed to be there to help
you out a little bit and to you know, get
you on your feet. And then when they become you
become the adult, they become older parents. Then you do
that for them. It's funny, is it flips? Then all
of a sudden you're taking care of them. Yeah, you're
getting them on their feet, so they're getting to their
appointments and things like that, like you're driving them to

(03:22):
the doctor. You're doing the things. So funny, it completely flips.
And Sysney's comes in here every once in a while
and she's like, guys, she knows the answer. He answers,
you're a great mom. But she always says, my bad
mom because of blank. Now what is it this time?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Am I a bad mom? Because I want to go
to Coachella and stagecoach But wait, I want to bring
the children and make that be like our family vacation
for maybe the.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Totally totally cool, justified matter of fact. I'd like for
you to prove that out so we can all do it.
Make it work, so we can do it, so everybody
can do it. If it works. For if it works,
then I think that's what we do next year. We
give away family four packs to Coachella. I'm serious. You
guys are laughing at me. Don't laugh.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
It's not judging moment, right, I don't know that I
want to bring them into the festival, though I think
they're not. Oh, I mean, and then it is all ages.
They could if I wanted to, but maybe, like I
kind of just want to go see the headliners obviously,
and then I don't need to get to Gochella until nighttime.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Really, So here's what I'm told by fellow people that
I know who have these little things called kids. So
they say to me, Bro, you gotta you can't. Why
you're so scared Ryan? What's the problem Ryan? What's the
way you're so afraid of Ryan? Why you're so afraid
of marriage and kids? What's the problem? I don't know
the problem problem.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's an intense statement.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, I like, I like my life, you know, And
they say, well, you got it. You're gonna have to
give up a lot, but you also got to do
certain things so you don't feel like you have given
up everything in like, hey, you need to go do
stuff like a dinner out or Coachella or just like
lock the door and play some Lionel Richie, which you're
you know what other person, you gotta do that kind
of stuff. You can't let that go. So I'm all

(05:01):
for it. Yeah, sist case scenario, Tananya will babysit and
you can go out.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
But that's the thing. So I was thinking of like
bringing my mom and making like, oh, getting renting a
house and so this is during the day, were like pool,
enjoy almost vacation, yea, and then we leave at night.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
You're framing this so wrong. This makes you the coolest mother.
Oh okay, so cool mom. Now when they look back
and they're like to their friends, Dude, my mom took
us to Cochella when we were young. Okay, feel like
you could.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Take them during the day when it's so crowded, the
tickets are expensive, but you're gonna be cool.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, exactly. Maybe calling to have somebody that doesn't know
us calling to win. But the thing is, you can
become the cool parent by doing the cool stuff you
want to do if you can bring the kids or
I mean, I feel like we should give away babysitter
for cash every week too, to give away like on
Thursdays give away sitter cash.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
That is actually really really cute.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
What does you go for these what do these go for?
The sitters per hour? These days?

Speaker 1 (05:59):
It does on the city that you're in. But I've
heard anything from twenty to thirty five dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
An hour, hundred bucks. Hundred bucks, come.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
On, yeah, like a hundred bucks can get you like
three hours, probably your nice little dinner.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's called hookup cash.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
One hundred and two dollars of hook up cash.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, one hundred bucks of hookup cash without without any
miniatures running around, right, I like it. I like good ideas.
That's how good ideas happen. Guys, they're born just like
this in the moment organically mm hmm. Coming up next,
and kids under five are free co chell I just
right next.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
I was thinking that.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's gonna be what another chance to get your bills paid?
At seven, ten, eight, ten, nine ten, Got chapel Rown
tickets all morning? Uh tany assistanty myself here? Jingle ball
tickets before eight those have gone on sale to Capital
one card holders, on sale now to Capital one card holders.
And let's just talk about the first meal of the day,

(06:54):
breaking the fast. It's called breakfast, breakfast? Breakfast?

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Is that where it came from?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Break your fast?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Break your fast? I feel like we've said this on
there and you had that same.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
Reaction, right I don't fault her. I can't remember what
you guys are told breaking news to her, like break
twenty years. Stories are gonna repeat and I'm gonna forget.
So yes, I know they were eating of the stories.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Here's a drill. We get in near early, I mean early,
like before early is early. And it's not like we're
making omelets, you know, it's not like we're making Western
omalts over there in the back corner of the break room.
So we gotta grab something a lot of times now.
I tried to push through. I try not to add
food while I'm doing this because it doesn't feel actually

(07:40):
it is for some reason. This is this is physical,
like I'm like physically tired after I talked for four hours.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
I'm with you, and I can't eat during the show.
It's hard or before. It's way too early.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
The one person that does have it Denny's breakfast every
day is Tups. Yeah, it means over Miammi coming here
everyd Wednesday. Open it up.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
His defense. You can't find lunchpail much smaller. He's already
had a yogurt situation. What was in here? Tubs, Greek
yogurt and berries. I'm sure. He's actually not much in here,
which means he probably already has gone through.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
He already had his hash brown.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
And his beefstick. He has a protein puff bar.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
I want anti puff bars. Give me an anti puff anyway.
The reason I bring this up there many of us
are in the same position. You gotta eat on the run.
You got a roll, you gotta go. So what do
you eat on the roll when you're moving? Velocity is
part of the day. You got, you got, you got
stuff you gotta do. You gotta grind. I get it, MICHAELA.
What's your grind? Meal in the morning when you're moving?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
So I just make toasts with peanut butter and have
a banana.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, that does sound good. Actually I couldn't do it,
to be all over my tongue, for my tongue my mouth.
Does you eat in the car? Probably right? I do?

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Elsie over there, Elsie, what is your on the go?
Gotta get to work on time because you're never going
to be late here at kiss in the morning.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Meal, the good old fashioned egg bites are usually my
go to.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
And then whatever I had last night for dinner.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I don't, I don't. I have no shame in a leftover.
I actually quite like a cold left same. I cannot
do a leftover dinner.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
For breakfast, I eat fish, I can eat chicken that
is buzzy.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
I can eat congealed anything.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, that is criminal.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Same, Now it's not criminal, it's actually healthy. Protein.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Bro, I'm with the protein. Look, I can make an
egg burrito in three minutes.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Sophia, our intern here, what's here? On the go? As
a college student, you got to be eaten last minute,
on the go all the time.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Yeah, all the time. But I like to make a
chia seed yogurt the night before and then I packed
my granola in a ziplock and added in the morning
so it doesn't get soggy.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
You know what I did. Not that I recommend it,
but it's good. All we had in my dorm room
was pop tarts. We need them, not even toasted, just
pop them out.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
That was a different time.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Now those are good, But then you get two of them.
You get two tarts in one package. And I'm not
saying that's the best thing you should do. Man, I
love that chocolate pop tart times too.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
If somebody toasted a little pop tart right now, and
I'm telling you even the strawberry one gets me strawberry
between the strawberry or the cinnamon. Those were like, stop,
put butter on your pop tart. No, I don't know.
I know I was the same to make it worse
for me.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, more and Becca made me have one one day
and it was dum No.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm sure it would be delicious, sugar and butter, good combo.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
I'm just saying, don't knock it till you try it.
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I don't want to. That's one thing I don't want
to introduce to my life to like exactly like something,
because I like already the cookies with salt on them.
All right, guys, now listen, everybody is getting all heated
up around I'm not yelling.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
He gets so much.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
That's not that's called enthusiasm for my job. Drink enthusiasm
from my view in my job.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
I just said you were yelling. Yeah, okay, now you're
not yelling. You're aware of it.

I got this just awesome prize pack. It was a
T shirt, chapstick and stickers, and I you know, the
T shirt was extra large, so it was a little

(14:07):
big for me, so I ended up wearing it to
bed for pajamas. And I wore that shirt until it
was holy and I couldn't wear it anymore. And you know,

News and Radio broadcast.

Here well, you're in the right place for one of
the two.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yep, thank you. I'm very glited.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
So much news.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Well, there's also it was downstairs if you wanted to
if you want to go.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Do it, go that route. I got to tell you
about news.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
So I thought the same thing when I was your age.
Until I thought about the news, I was like, I
don't have I don't need that in my life every day.
Say so, I'm not saying it should be your path.
So much more fun to talk about stuff like this though.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Plus the classes were harder in college for like real journalism, they.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Gotta be an, they gotta be real. Here we can
just say things glibly and not really exactly. So sophy,
I say that only to not guide you, but to
give you our feedback. Meanwhile, what are you nineteen, twenty
twenty one, something in that range.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Yes, I'm twenty years.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Old, twenty years old. Do you remember when you were twenty?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
A dream? I was just sat a year in the
radio at that time.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
You got a friend that comes over with an overnight
bag all the time. Funny thing is, as a single person,
you want your friend to bring an overnight bag in
case they're going to stay if it's that kind of
a friend. But this might might not be that kind
of a friend.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah, so this is actually my best friend. So she
lives about twenty minutes away from our apartment and whenever,
which is where, which is like maybe three minutes from
our campus.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
E yes, I E.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
So we're all relatively close to each other. But she
comes over pretty often just to hang out. And every
time she comes over she has an overnight bag with her.
But the thing is, she doesn't tell us that she's
going to spend the night. She'll just come with an
extra fun plus one.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
But does she leave it in her car or she
like enters your house with the bag.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
No, so she'll just like walk it. She'll text us,
she'll be like, I'm at the front door. And sometimes
she won't even tell us. She'll she'll she's like coming,
and she'll text us She's like, Oh, I'm in the front.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Can you come open the door?

Speaker 4 (17:41):
And we open the door and she's standing there, you know,
with all her bags and like clothes popping out, and
she goes immediately straight to my room and just sets
her bags down without.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
How do we start this precedent? Had she been over
many times, so now she thinks it's just okay, Like
where did this begin?

Speaker 4 (17:59):
So I think like on the weekends when we first
moved in, we were super excited.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
You know, we're in an apartment. It's fun.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
So she would sleep over, you know, here and there,
not too often. But then as she started coming over,
it just kind of became like a regular thing for
her to think that she was sleeping over and not
even sleeping over just in general, but sleeping with me
in my bed.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
I'm not for that for me, for my friend, not either.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
I was that friend. By the way, I love this.
I was her. I like wish I like kidnapped my
friends when they come over, it's like, do you want
to spend the night.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oh my gosh. I make it clear you guys have
to leave by ten, even if we're not done with dinner.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, I know you started, like put it on your
pajama pants the last time we were having dinner at
your house.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
When you come over to my house, I say, hey,
are you free from six to seven fifteen?

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Not over fifteen?

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Like, well it's about that time, you know that quarter
past Okay, Yeah, you're not finished A little to go.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
For that, Yeah, if my friend Taja comes over, Michael
knows that he's not going to sleep in the bed
that night.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
He's, oh my gosh, that is unacceptable.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Sleep in Maxim's room and Tajia will sleep in the
bed with me.

Speaker 7 (19:08):
All right.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
So, soph you're back to your issue here, your best friend.
So in my mind, you should be able to be
clear and honest with and direct with your best friend.
Why can't you just speak your mind?

Speaker 4 (19:18):
So I've definitely tried that, but I always just feel
guilty because.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
This is a problem carrying guilt. We all carry this.
We all feel bad about other things, other people and things.
We carry that guilt. It's bad for us. But I
think there's a way to. I mean, you could do
it with humor, or you could just tell her that
when she's coming over, Hey, I have to get a
good night's quote sleep tonight. I've got to study my

(19:44):
boyfriend's competence whatever.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
You have to wake up at four in the morning.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
When I when I was really really single, I mean
I am, but when I was also single and earlier,
I would say on a date, sometimes I gotta wake
up tomorrow so early in case it wasn't going well.
So I knew that, like, no expectations of a late night,
you know, so you might need to say that we
gave you an assignment that starts really early. Did you

(20:10):
work here?

Speaker 1 (20:11):
I don't know if it's your best Many used.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
The excuse she had to come work for me even
when I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Working, which was true. You don't to your friend and friends.
It was like.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Us, these are people she knew their names of. Yeah,
I mean Sophia, Sofia knows the name of this person.
Tanya knew them as mister what.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
I think it's cute. I think live live these moments
right now where you have friends that come over and
spend the night and you all are single and having
fun and you're in college because then.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
You're going to be married, and it is like this,
send your friend to Tanya's bed to kick Robbie out
and there you go.

Speaker 7 (20:48):
Over.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Thank you for sharing? You ask that? And what's your
favorite spot to go? Where do you guys eat down there?
You love to go to?

Speaker 4 (20:54):
So there's this Roman place actually in downtown Riverside. Saw
who Ramen and before moving there, I was never really
a Ramen person. I was always with Fu And then
I had this place and it completely just changed my life.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
So there's a difference between and yeah, what what's the difference.
I'm not a fan of either. Usually I like them both,

FONZI is gonna share coming up next, Thanks Sofia. So
we're all ticketed up here, Miah, good morning, good morning.
All right, quickly before you enter the game, Phansie, what's
the difference between Ramen and Fa. The difference is the noodles.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
So Ramen obviously is Japanese and they use a wheat
noodle dish, whereas Fu uses more of a rice noodle.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah versus rice difference.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Fine, if you want to talk about yourself, you can't.

Speaker 6 (24:44):
I was going to like break the news to everybody. Guys, Listen,
it is a campaign. It's something we can all get behind.
I don't think it's ever happened to me, and if
it happens so if I could win this race.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
You're feeling yourself a little bit.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
No, I'm not. I'm not feeling myself. Beat Jimmy Fallon.
I gotta beat guys. Guys, guys, guys, you're supposed to
vote for me.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
No, I mean we will, obviously, But here's the deal.
We have to be realistic about this.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
We need to get behind something because if I win
this office award, whatever it was, you'll explain from People Magazine.
If I win it, I'll probably have an opportunity to
get married. So this is really about what you guys.
This is really your future sealed up.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Your future is at stake, really.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Really sure is at stake, And if I win this award,
I might be eligible for a life companion. I'm just
telling you that if we lose, I'll never get married.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
It's I don't know what winning this award will do
to your head, not my head, but it's to his
heart at least.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
I'm what is the what's the coategoy?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
We're going to talk about sexiest game show Host?

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Oh yeah, I mean it's a comedy. You just laugh
when you hear it.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
So no, it's great, it's really exciting, and you're it's
gonna be a tough one because you're all hot.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I don't even worry about that. We said a win
this thing. Anyway. I'm wearing my wheel Fortune hat because
Wheel of Fortune gave away we I, We Van and
I Wheel Fortune gave away a million dollars last night
plus some actually was the biggest amount of money ever
given away in the forty three seasons. Wow of Wheel
of Fortune, the lordest jackpot ever we did. It was

(26:31):
last night. We'll talk about. We actually talked to the winner,
the new millionaire this hour now. First, Also last night,
Dodgers beat the Reds ten to five, Game two tonight,
six o'clock at the Dodgers win, they move on to
the Division Series against Philly. One thousand dollars to pay
your bills and Cisney, what do you have right now?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
So we have to talk about this AI actress, Tillie Norwood.
The entire industry is talking about right now, primarily because
she's not real. So the creator has been defending her loudly,
saying that Tilly is not here to take jobs from humans,
but is instead an artistic experiment. If you look at
pictures of her. If you look, if you see her
in action, it looks like a real person in my opinion,

(27:11):
But the creator is trying to say that the whole
thing's kind of more like animation or puppetry or even
cgi the way the way, the way that we accept
those types of art forms. People should accept this type
of art form. But of course the industry is seeing
two sides to this whole number.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
I'm looking at this woman. The problem is when you
look at cartoons, your brain looks at a cartoon. When
my brain looks at this woman, I think, I mean,
in my brain doesn't decipher an.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
You think she's a woman that could walk the red car?

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Can you tell me that this individual this the hair,
the color of the eyes, about if everything's not real,
it's not real.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
And then and like and even when you see her
in an action movie or doing scenes, it looks like
a real person.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
And how other people act with her, that's it.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
That's a really good point. I guess you just have
to pretend. I can't thought you would just act with
like it.

Speaker 6 (28:05):
Goes is so weird, it's all messy, or like you
would act with one of those animated.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, like when you do this Submurph's movie.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, that kind of thing. Okay, finish the details. Then
we got a we got thoughts.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
So that's it. I mean there's tension on one side,
excitement on the other side because it's like, oh, this
is new tech, like this is so cool. But I
think the whole thing is just over fast, fascinating, like
who knows, but everybody's worried about her.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Okay. So look, if you're if you and I are
making a movie, okay, and we have one hundred dollars
to make the movie, and this costs less than a
lot of other things to make the movie. Just thinking
as the producer of a movie, well, we probably want
to go the least expensive route to make the movie. However,

(28:57):
the issue is if I'm an act and a director,
like I need to I want to work with human
beings and direct human beings. And if I'm an actor,
I need to work. I don't want whatever to a
generated computer image of an actress or an actor. Take
him my gigs. This is your livelihood. And when you're

(29:18):
a good actor, you're a good actor because you're a human.
What if they make really great actors AI and then
all of a sudden, Robert de Niro or whoever, the
whoever your favorite old school actor is is not a
good actor anymore because these actors are so much better.
Like Austin Butler. I had a cookie's watching him last night.
I'll tell you about later. But he's so good looking.

(29:40):
What if it made a better look and better actor
Austin Butler? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
If you want to know the guy's real, he's out
there in the wild.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
I think it's Yeah, it's people's faces, it's your voices.
All that jobs are on the line, in my jobs, that's.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
The whole thing.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
But also take it out, like take it out of
this this Hollywood world, you know, like even Josh attendants,
they used to be people and now it's just a box,
you know.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
So I still are parking at box. I still got
to call the woman in that little booth way over
there that doesn't want to be called. I can never
figure out how to get out, all right, Coming up
the new Millionaire. She won more than a million dollars
last night on Wheel of Fortune, Christina, She's coming up
here next last night on Wheel of Fortune. Every night,
Van and I start the show I always wanted to

(30:25):
give away a million bucks. I keep saying, let's give
away a million dollars. I want to do it. It'd
be so much fun. They've only done it a couple
times in the history of the show, and I just
felt like, gosh, we need to do it. We gotta do.
If you put it out there, if you manifest Tani,
You're a big believer of manifestation. If you put it
in the universe, it will come. And it did. Christina
from Connecticut, who's joining us in a second, won over

(30:49):
a million dollars last night on Wheel of Fortune. She
is the winner of the largest jackpot ever in the
forty three seasons of Wheel of Fortune's history. She came in.
She was not a millionaire. She had a job. Her
boss was in the audience.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yeah, what are the odds.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
So we'll get into that in a second with Christina.
She's on the zoom smiling. I'm so excited to talk
to you again, Christina. First, here's last night on Wheel
Fortune of Coyotes. That's the song, here's the fireworks confetti.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Wow, Christina.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Then a mess word.

Speaker 8 (31:28):

Speaker 6 (31:33):
Oh my gosh, I mean it was the bonus round.
It was the bonus round. The category was living things
and she hardw puzzle for you, not for Christina.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
I was like face, she yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
It's before I stararted the countdown clock. I know that,
And let me give you a little bit more here.

Speaker 8 (31:49):
Got here to the camera.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
What would you like to say to your boss? Congratulations
you're my first million dollar winner?

Speaker 1 (32:01):
I wrote it too, r.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
And here she is joining us now Christina in Connecticut. Well, Christina,
you are a millionaire? Has it sunk in?

Speaker 7 (32:10):
You know? The last few days, it really has started
to hit me. I had to keep this a secret
for four months, as you did too. It was definitely
quite the experience doing that. But now that everyone knows,
it's just been a whirlwind and I am just so excited.

(32:32):
And I'm excited that I was able to be your
first million dollar winner as well.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yes, and now tell sistany Tania about your job? What
you were doing well for work? The day you came
in there? You took some time from work, your boss
was there? What was your job?

Speaker 7 (32:48):
Yep? So I am a marketing manager, so I work
in Manhattan and my boss I worked with her at
my last company, now again at my current company. So
she's a friend. She's originally from la and she came
out with me to experience the show, and it was
just a joke kind of that we ran with the

(33:10):
whole trip. We were like, oh, well, you know, if
you win a million dollars, never thinking was going to happen, Yeah, sure,
you'll maybe not come back with me, You'll stay out
in California, quit your job. But obviously never expected it
to happen. And then when it actually came about, we

(33:31):
were like, oh my god, yeah, well I will say
I yeah, I'm going to stay at my job. So
she's happy, but she but she was very supportive the
whole time. So it was just it was all very
exciting for the both of us.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
You're listening to Christina and Connecticut. She won one million,
thirty five, one hundred and fifty five dollars. She's the
fourth ever winner of a million dollars in the history
of All the Fortune, and she's the largest jackpot winner
in the history of Wheel of Fortune. And you know
what the funny thing was, because we start the show,
I don't know who's gonna go the bonus round. We
started the show by you winning that trip, and I

(34:08):
remember you telling me. You said, oh my gosh, my
boss is here, and I got to ask for some
time off, like a little week off to go on
this trip. And that stuck with me and we kind
of joked about it during the show. Then all of
a sudden, she gets to the million, her boss is there.
Then she wins the million, and her bosses there. Was
like the greatest moment ever.

Speaker 7 (34:28):
I know. The whole time, I think her her jaw
was to the floor, and you know, I'm just so excited.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
For the trips.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
I mean, I get to go to Montana, I get
to go to Tokyo. So I'll definitely be requesting some
time off in the next year. And she said that
she will approve the time off. So we're good.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yes, yes, So now Christina, who is with us here.
She won the money, she had to keep it a secret.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Seat her for four months.

Speaker 7 (35:02):
Oh my gosh, it was so difficult, and I have
to say, I am not holding any secrets for a
long time.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Did you have are you married? You have a boyfriend
or girlfriend? I forget your status.

Speaker 7 (35:16):
I have a boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, how has he changed?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Oh wow?

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Has he proposed already?

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Right?

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Not yet?

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Not yet?

Speaker 7 (35:26):
No, so why he's very excited and that, yeah, well
see if he earns a trip.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
But I love it so much. A million bucks. Then
she gets the thirty one hundred and fifty five she
already won in the show. And this is the thing,
This is why you love Wheel of Fortune because people
come on they win real money. Even if she won
the trips and just the money, that's a big night
in thirty minutes, guys, this is a thirty minute show.
She walked in wanting to win something. She walked out

(35:55):
a millionaire. And so if you've never been on the show,
you always wanted to go to Wheel fortune dot com
sign up? I mean, why not, right? I mean why not?

Speaker 7 (36:05):
Yeah? Absolutely, I mean I think I applied a few
years ago and then it was a while later that
I got that first email saying, hey, we would love
to interview you for the show. I went through the interviews,
and it took another few months until I got that
email saying you are selected to be a contestant. And

(36:30):
it was three weeks later I was flying out to
la and going for what turned out to be an
adventure of lifetime. So it was just so surreal and
I just I can't believe that you know this is
going to really just change my whole future.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
