Speaker 1 (00:01):
In the morning's Dirty on the thirty last dirty of
the morning, and then more Mojo in the morning coming
up here and just a little bit. I feel like
it's a Monday, kind of getting back into the swing
of things.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I got sleep in a couple of days.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
It was nice.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Nice. I thought about this.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
I feel tired because it was just a lot of stuff,
you know. But I when we went to this radio convention,
I tried to do a panel, and the panel was,
let's start our morning shows at nine am, Like, would
that not be the greatest you know what, Let's make
the people not commute. Well, a lot of people commute

(00:39):
to their little you know, office in their house or
their kitchen table or something like that. It'd be nice
to start the show later. Some shows do, though, I
couldn't believe it. I was talking to a couple of
guys and I'm like, yeah, so tell me about your show,
and They're like, well, you know, we record the day before,
and I'm like, really, like, what happens if what if

(01:01):
something crazy happens?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I will say I have had.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
The thought of what it would be like if we
did record our show in the afternoons.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
No, because I feel like you get a different person
at time. Yeah, the later is you're more way.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I get jealous when I listened to Mike Vinnie in
the afternoon. He's the big sports guy here in town.
And I, you know, listen to a show. I like
his show. I listen to the show. I go he
has so much more energy than us because the guy
probably wakes up at ten am or something.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, but then, but then your show is not current.
It's you're not connecting with people who are driving to
work and starting their day.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
What if what if.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
We just did a That's the other thing too, is
it would it would suck getting calls. Like the idea
that some of these shows do it, and they don't.
They don't get the calls.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Come, let's sound a Joe show.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Come on, Joe show comes on, similar to us five
thirty am, a late shift. Oh, their show in the
afternoon here, Yeah, they do the double show.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
They take calls in the afternoon, still work after five. No,
you're right, you're right, we'll get calls in the afternoon. Cha,
you don't like the idea because you have plans in
the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
No, because I get to spend time with the kids
in the afternoon, and I love that once they got
out of school, I get to pick them up from
school to all you do, all the sports stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Kids are overrated.

Speaker 6 (02:22):
I don't have any living in your house anymore that you.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
W n v A stars Dijone Carrington and Sophie Cunningham.
Carrington ejected for was it her second foul?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
It was, It was a foul, It was a hard foul.
I think it was flagrant.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
It was a flagrant too foul against Sophie during their
game against one another on Saturday, and then proceeded to
write white privilege afterwards in a threads post. So as
you can imagine, there is a lot of conversation happening
about that.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
Clark maybe the future of the WNBA.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
A deep prepared disulted.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
But this morning it's her teammate, Sophie Cunningham getting headlines.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
What's the fold?

Speaker 7 (03:15):
And then contam gets in the face of Djna Carrington.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
On Saturday, the fever guard took a shot to the
face from the Chicago Skies djn A Carrington, who was
then ejected. Moments later, Carrington posted a message on social
media saying white privilege. Cunningham responded, this has nothing to
do with race. Last year, I did the same thing
and I got kicked out, and I deserved to be
kicked out. There's no reason even to play that card. Cunningham,

(03:41):
an eight year veteran, has been in the spotlight after
recently telling ESPN, I want to protect young girls in
a locker room or young girls in a sport who
shouldn't have to go against biological men. Those comments sparked
rallies supporting her and protests against her.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
At Fever games in Seattle.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Portland and Minnesota, rowd booed her each time she touched
the balls. Some in the league are pushing back links
coach Cheryl Reeves, saying we need to protect trans kids.
Every kid has a right to sports. Now, the league
itself is stepping in. In a new memo, WNBA Commissioner
Kathy Engelbert said the issue will be presented to a

(04:17):
task force of team presidents and general managers next week.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
League rules say only women are eligible.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
To play, but the contract language goes no further than that.
The players Union says it embraces inclusion, but Warren's we
will not be used as political pawns. Cunningham says the
league can handle the debate.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I do think that when you can come and have
these conversations.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
It is so healthy. Interesting. Umm that that fall was
a hard foll okay, but it didn't look well, you know,
they sound like she went out of her way. Well
she got a flagrant too.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
I think she deserved that, and I think that they
handled it that uh great that way. A lot of
people are saying the oh that players, there's I guess
there's some kind of a thing where players shouldn't be
going on social media during the game, and because the
game was still going on, so I think that she
may get herself into trouble with the league for doing that.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
It's only a story because it's tied to Caitlyn Clark,
everybody's favorite basketball.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, it's not Caitlyn Clark at all. Did you hear
the newscaster? Well she that was again this is about
what I think.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Pay for.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
But I think soyvihey, Cunningham is more right now in
the the spotlight because of her comments about uh, you know,
women in basketball.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
The only reason we even are listening and know of
her is because Kitlyn Clark is on her team, and
that's where that media attention and focus was and what
they say a rise and todde raise all ships. So
with Kitlyn Clark being on her team, that's why she
has the focus that she Yet you.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Don't think has her own fame years just now talking
about her and not even a team. The Minnesota Leak's
on fire.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Kaylen McBride set an all time record for ten threes
yesterday have forty one points. They got a rookie on eighteen,
Olivia Miles. That's dog walking. These women, they going crazy.
But again we pop in our stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Can you dawg walk a woman? I don't know if
that's a good idea. I don't know. I think that's
a flavor into. I think that is a flavor into.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
This is my favorite story of the morning.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
So a guy from Long Beach, California, goes out to
check his mail, gets a postcard from his mom and dad,
who are both dead, so right away some things up.
Bob Sheppard amazed when he opens his mailbox. There it
was this very old, very weathered postcard from Copenhagen, Denmark,
mailed by his parents twenty six years ago. The postmark
was July two thousand and it read flying in we

(06:45):
saw lots of water in green, greenland everywhere, Love mom
and Dad. His mom died four years ago. His dad
died during the pandemic, so six years ago. Because of
hospital restrictions at the time, this guy, Bob never got
to say goodbye to his dad, and he's like, has
haunted me for years and years.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
So then he.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Goes out to his mailbox and gets this postcard, calls
the post office and they're like, we don't really know.
It must have fallen out of a bin or a basket,
maybe under went underneath a desk or a file cabinet.
They just probably found it, saw that he lived at
the same address and sent it. Anyway, talk about a
postcard from heaven. It's an amazing stong Shepherd opened the story.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
You hear, I started looking at it, go, oh my gosh,
this is a treasure.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
A treasure twenty six years in the making.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Was the only mail I got that day, A.

Speaker 8 (07:37):
Weathered postcard from Copenhagen, signed simply M and D.

Speaker 7 (07:41):
Flying in We saw lots of water and green greenland everywhere,
Love M and D for mom and dad.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
But there's just one thing.

Speaker 8 (07:49):
Bob's mom, Joanne, died four years ago. His dad John
died six years ago during the pandemic, and because of
hospital restrictions at the time, Bob never got a chance
to say a proper goodbye.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
It haunts me to this day.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Bob remembers his dad an army veteran.

Speaker 7 (08:07):
But he was an intelligent man, very very carey and very.

Speaker 6 (08:09):
Loving, and his mom a school teacher.

Speaker 7 (08:12):
World traveler, social butterflies.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
Travel was what they loved. Tell me about this board.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
So this board I made for my mom and dad
for the celebration of life.

Speaker 8 (08:23):
Pages from passports, photos from a lifetime of adventures in.

Speaker 7 (08:28):
Easter Island, the GALOPICUS Africa, there's my mom in a boat.

Speaker 8 (08:32):
And even a log of all the places they went,
including Denmark, where twenty six years ago his parents handpicked
this postcard, wrote a note to their son and dropped
it in the mail. It was postmarked in July of
two thousand, the LA postmark August twenty twenty six. Bob's
mailman offering this explanation, and.

Speaker 7 (08:53):
He believes probably what happened to this postcard is this
somehow fell out of a bin or a basket or
a shell for something like that, and it maybe it
went underneath a desk or a file cabinet or something
like that, and they must have just found it recently
and said, hey, the guy still lives at the same address.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 1 (09:12):
It took that and it's a nutty story. That's a
beautiful story. Yeah, it's a beautiful story. And it's said
that he never got to say goodbye to his mom.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Face to face.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Ye first, Yeah, during COVID. So yeah, now he's now
he's got the postcard. I mean, that's beautiful.

Speaker 6 (09:28):
You guys are.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
I didn't do anything, that's all. I'm lad you made
a joke.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
I thought I wasn't making a joke. I gave my
I gave my thought, what is cold hearted? I thought
that was wonderful. What's your next story?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortes AOC announcing that she
has started the process of freezing her eggs.

Speaker 9 (09:57):
I have made the decision to start freezing my eggs,
and I want to share this because I was weighing
it for a very long time, and I think that
you know, I was saving for it for a very
long time, and there just isn't a ton out there,

(10:19):
I feel, and sometimes it can feel very daunting and
as women in general, we are not taught about our bodies.
We are not prepared for our own lives.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, said She is talking about it because she wants
to normalize discussions around women's fertility and pregnancy, menopause, perry, pcos,
and other aspects of women's health that she feels like
are too often overlooked.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Doctor Basie does it at fertility Institute.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Thank you? Free right, Uh, you can do something.

Speaker 1 (10:49):

I will say this though, for if you're a woman
that is in your thirties, you know, and you're getting,
you know, to the age where you're thinking, I want
to have children, I think it's awesome.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
My friend did it, and it's so funny. She did
it and then like three months later met a guy,
they got married and had a baby.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
