- A post in the travel subreddit asks, “What’s something you adopted into your lifestyle after visiting another country?”
- Nearly a thousand Redditors responded with the habits and products they’ve added to their routine after learning about them while traveling abroad.
- From a bidet discovered in Japan to individual comforters for each partner after a trip to Denmark, these things are now a part of travelers’ lives.
Worst Pick-Up Lines For Online Dating
- “Hey” or “Hi” - Nothing screams generic laziness like typing two or two three letters and nothing else.
- “You’re hot” - Some people may consider this a compliment, but it’s objectifying and inappropriate for a first message, and it shows no respect.
- “What are you doing right now?” - You wouldn’t greet a stranger in a bar like this, so don’t do it online either.
- “Why are you on here?” - there’s no point in asking this, as it sounds kind of judgy and can make someone defensive.
Quiet Firing
There are some clear signs of quiet firing and these are the most common, according to HR and career experts.
- Being excluded from meetings - If you’re suddenly not invited to meetings you were once a key part of, that’s a serious red flag they may be passively letting you go.
- Shifting responsibilities - Sudden changes in your workload, whether they’re piling it on with unrealistic goals or sticking you with meaningless projects, that could be a bad sign. If you get vague or no answers, that’s a red flag.
- Support decreases - They may pull back on support, leaving you feeling abandoned or alone, and making it tougher to handle your workload. If you feel like it’s unbearable and you just can’t do it, then you’ll quit and that’s the idea.
- Development stops - If your future at the company used to be discussed, but now you’re passed over for promotions or raises for no apparent reason, that’s a clear sign of quiet firing. And in some cases, this can drag on for years.
- Policy-driven quiet firing - Employees being required to return to the office can be a form of quiet firing, as some employers expect some workers to decide to leave the company instead.

Corey right before six. What's happening? It's Thursday Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Eve.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I found a sick throwback Thursday picture? What me with
the Jonas brothers? Yeah? What year are we talking? Good? Lord?
I don't even two thousand and six? Five four, so
almost twenty years ago. Yeah. Buddy of mine sent it
to me. He was he worked for their record label,
and he was cleaning out his stuff and he goes, hey,
I found this. They look so young? Do you look young?
(00:32):
I know, I look, I'm fifty pounds heavier. It's one
of those pictures. Are you going to post this? It's
a fat Marcus pic?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, I like it. They look great. I don't know here,
what do you think? Look here I'm showing Corey right now.
They look like teenagers? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
What?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
They just he look like they're weird? Uncle. I know.
He's like, hey, you guys want to go to the movie.
Anybody want to take a ride in the van? I
got candy. You guys will go to David Busters terrible.
But you know what if you can't make fun of yourself.
Will you make fun of Oh goodness me, you know
what I mean. Yes, they just started their big tour.
(01:15):
I love those guys. They're so cool. They were the
sweetest boys. That's nice. Really, it's nice to hear you
like to hear that about celebrities. You know. I'm I'm
happy it's Friday Eve. It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't know if you've ever watched something that kind
of like viscerally affects your brain.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, And so I was just like randomly scrolling movies
and watched this movie without my husband, and I was.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Like, I have to examine everything in my life right now.
The movie got you. It did, it did, But it
kind of made me also go, I need to really
appreciate my husband and make sure he knows that I
appreciate it. Was it one of those relationshippy movies? Yeah? Yeah, Yeah.
It's always interesting because you watch these movies and it's always,
(02:05):
you know, if they're fighting, it's always people that are
fifteen twenty years into your relationship, just like us. And
then I'm like, oh god, oh god, this hits a
little hard sometimes.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
What was nice, though, is there is a situation where
it was like one person's working in the other one isn't.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And in my husband.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I have been through that on both sides, one where
I was working and he wasn't. In another time when
he was working, I wasn't, and there was no resentment,
and that was the big key, right, resentment.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Oh, Resentment's always the key. Yeah, we do not have time. No, no,
this is not a therapy session. Uh, what are we
going to get into here in a little bit. We
want to get you on a boat with us. Yes,
Marcus and Corey's Big Day on the Bay coming up
August thirtieth, two thirty. If you want to buy your tickets,
they are available on event Bright, but we will have
some for you to win. Coming up this morning. It's
(02:54):
seven thirty five the more variety from the two thousands,
the nineties, and today it's Star one on one three.
It's Marcus and core you Good morning.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So there was this redit threat I thought was interesting,
especially since I've never really been abroad. Habits people take
on after traveling to other countries.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I find this interesting because my sister has traveled way
more than I have.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
She thinks she's European.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Huh, She's not, like, do it a full Madonna where
she has a British accent now, but a lot of
her text messages use French words.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I think she's also doing that because I just
went to France. Oh sure, but it.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Is funny because she hasn't she hadn't done that before
she had traveled all these places.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know. The one habit I would love to have
picked up after going to Mexico is the Mexican work schedule.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Oh oh, you know how they roll out there, Well,
they do siestas, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You eat breakfast at like I don't know, nine, you
go to work for I don't know, three four hours,
then you come home at one o'clock. Everything shuts down.
You can't even go to the bank. And from one
to three you eat a gigantic meal and then you sleep.
The problem with that is that I would not come back. Well,
that's the issue is then you get up and then
(04:05):
you're supposed to report back to work from like I
don't know, three to seven or four to eight, and
then you get home and you're eating dinner at like nine,
and then everybody goes out. Oh my dream schedule not
conducive to our lifestyle. No, I would not be able
to maintain this morning show on that. But like Spain,
I think is the same thing. And again I'm kind
(04:26):
of talking out of my butt because I've never been
to Spain, but I understand like they roll pretty late
in the evening, and I like that. What we're talking
about is habits people have taken on after traveling to
other countries. This one's real, somebody wrote. I joke with
my partner one of the most expensive parts of our
trip to Japan was the midday we bought when we
got home. Oh I did that after Vegas.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I know that's not out of the country, but we
stayed at the Aria, and the Aria has those bidet
toilet seats, so you don't have to get a new toilet,
you just put the seat on there, okay. And somebody
said to me, what was the best part of your
to Vegas. I'm like, the bidet toilet seat and they're like,
don't tell people that there.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Well, they're life changing, they really are.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I mean, you're saving toilet paper and you just feel
better about yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I was up in Yankville and they had them in
the public restrooms in the lobby of this hotel that
I was staying at and I walked in there, I
came out and I go If I worked here, i'd
go on break and never come back. I don't know
if I wanted to hear that. Here's another one. After
my husband and I went to Denmark together, we immediately
(05:34):
changed to two comforters at home. No more yanking the
blankets off each other in the middle of the night.
It's almost better than couple's therapy.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's interesting because one of the things I noticed in
France there was no top sheet. There was the cover
sheet for the mattress and it was a comforter, but
there was no top sheet.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And I need that, But that wasn't It feels weird
and it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Just like So we stayed in an apartment for the
first part of our trip, then we stayed at a
hotel at Disney, and then we stayed at a hotel
back in Paris.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Sure, every single one of them no top sheet. I
feel naked without a top sheet. Yeah, if you have
traveled abroad, give me a habit that you brought back
after going to a different country.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I feel like something like what you drink too, like tea,
Like maybe you were really into coffee, but then you
go to the UK and you drink a lot of tea.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Now, oh, somebody wrote that living in the UK, now
I need a proper brew every morning. M h. I
get it. Like going to my husband living in Miami.
He loves his Cuban coffee. All right, So jump on
the talk back. If you have something that you brought
back from abroad, we would love to hear about it.
It's a little red microphone. If you're streaming Star one
on one three right now, this is what I'm talking about.
(06:45):
It's what's trending on Star.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
What's happening in entertainment news, the biggest stories of the day,
and everything people are talking about today in the Bay.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
What's Trending is brought to you by Cash Creek Casina
Resort Experience, Live Entertainment where fun meets Luxury. By tickets
now at Cashcreek dot com. Taylor Swift was on The
New Heights Brought a podcast yesterday hosted by her boyfriend
Travis Kelsey and his brother Jason, and she talked about
her new album, The Life of a Show Girl, talked
about getting her masters back, and even shared some details
(07:15):
on our love story with Travis.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It was super Cute, So Cute.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
The Life of a show Girl will drop on October
third with twelve tracks, and Sabrina Carpenter is featured on
the title track, Taylor's Swift. Being on the New Heights
podcast last night broke the Internet, reaching one point three
million viewers in fifteen minutes just on YouTube. That's amazing
to me. And the thing is, I think it's what
we all need right now. It's like ted Lasso in
(07:42):
the middle of the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I means, you know, the argument can be made, are
they oversaturated? Do we hear about them too much? The
thing is like, they're so cute together.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't think we hear about them too much, to
be honest, because I feel like after the football season
was over and her tour stopped, I think they kind
of you took some I'm out.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Of the spotlight. I'm excited for new music. Me too. Gosh,
I feel like she never rests on our laurels when
it comes to writing. Good for her.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
If you're a traveler who enjoys the company of a caneine,
but you don't have one, or you can't bring them
with you.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
There's a solution. Go to China.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I hope this hotel idea happens here. I mean, there's
a lot of dog friendly hotels here explain the hotel idea,
but this is different because the news services where guests
can book a pet themed room for seventy dollars a
night and you get your choice of ten dog breeds
to share the room with, including Golden Retrievers, Huskies, West
Highland Terriers, Corgis.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Get them in here. Oh my goodness, it's a hit.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
People are like loving it and the picture is adorable
because there's this guy lying in the hotel bed with
like seven dogs all around him, and it's like, I
feel bad because I'm kind of like, Jeff, you don't
have to come, my husband, the more room for dogs.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
If you don't. Gold Vision Duncan are reto. You mean
to bring back pumpkin spice grams for the third year.
So this is pumpkin, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg on a
Graham cracker.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Duncan and Goldfish recommend eating these as a standalone or
parrot with a Pso.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
What a good that's a good combo.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Pumpkin spice lot I hear like pumpkin spice lattes are
coming out sooner than ever.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Probably next week. Yeah, exactly. A reminder tomorrow there's gonna
be a big concert you need to know about in
Golden Gate Park. It's like they have him every single weekend.
Zach Brian's going to be in town with Kings of Leon. Okay,
that's going to be thousands of people. Yeah, and just
this heads up if you don't have a ticket, it's
just because it's gonna be pretty gnarmly driving around and whatnot.
(09:43):
National Creamsicle Day today, that sounds delightful. National Tattoo Removal
Day today, Corey. I know you have a lot of tattoos.
Are there any that you would get rid of?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
No, but there is a pull up on the Instagram
that asks you, if you were to get rid of it,
what would it be? Would it be your drunken mistake,
a bet someone dared you to do it at X's name?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Or would you never remove any of them? And I
am I am that one. Okay. They'll tell a story.
They're chapters in your life. Okay. So that's up on
the Star one on one three fm Instagram in the stories.
Please participate and thank you, And if you are on
social media right now, you can also go to well
Star one three FM, or Marcus and Corey on Instagram

this case, Corey having dinner with Duran. Duran, it was
amazing big band from the eighties. The lead singer, She
and Simon Labon are officially canoodling. You guys, look like
you're at a prom dinner. Where is Jeff Is he
taking the picture? We weren't together yet? Oh obviously, yeah
(10:49):

So nothing happens, all right. And then, in honor of
their twentieth anniversary and the tour coming September twenty fifth,
to Chase Center, a picture of me with the Jonas brothers,
and I think they might be in grammar school in
this day. They look so young. I look so big too.
This is me like fifty pounds ago. Well, hey, you
(11:11):
should be proud of yourself because you lost the weight.
I guess so, but great pick. Such sweet guys. They

now for Throwback Thursday on the Marcus at Corey Instagram.
What's it all about?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Guess what's Guess what's self catch? What's trending every weekday
morning on the fifties, that's six fifty fifty am.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I'm connection now with Marcus and Corey everywhere at Star one,
O one three FM and at Marcus and Corey.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Well variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one, O one three, It's Marcus and Corey Thursday,
good morning, Hello. So this relationship expert has called out
the worst opening lines to use on a dating app.
These are pretty bad. Maybe you're planning a date for
the weekend. Those of you that aren't already hooked up,
and you're in the dating world, as evidence by second
date update, it's tough out there, it really is, and
(11:59):
everybody's using the dating apps. This is still funny even
if you are already hooked up in a relationship. Yes,
number one on the list. Don't ever just text with
hey or hi. Nothing screams generic laziness. Yes, like typing
two or three letters and out. I get annoyed with that,
just in regular life. I have some buddies that do that. Well,
what's the point. I mean, if you're texting me, do
(12:20):
you need something to do? Give any question?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And also glomming onto this first one about don't just
say hey or hi. Make sure that you are using
proper grammar, because if you send me a message and
there's misspellings or no, dude, weird commas.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I feel like in twenty twenty five, we're so lazy
now that it's up to you to figure it out,
Like if there's a misspelling or some like you know,
you know what I meant is a very popular whenever
I go grammar police on somebody, Oh well you know
what I meant? No, nobody likes to know it all.
It's the same thing as when somebody forget it. I'm
not disagreeing with you.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Response to a text with the letter K you can't
even spell out okay.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's too much effort. I had a buddy do this
to me three days ago. All he said a text.
All he wrote was Yo, what what? What do you want?
What do you want? Finish the text? Don't waste my
messaging data. Another terrible opening line. If you're texting somebody
you just met for a date, just writing you're hot,
bonus points. If you just write you are you are puck.
(13:27):
It's just come up with something more creative.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Hey, your picture caught me off guard, or I hope
you don't mind if I say you're beautiful, right, but
not like, oh man, you're hot smoking?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Inappropriate objectification is what she says. Don't lead with what
are you doing right now? Bonus points? If you just
write what are you doing? Are in?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
You're gonna make something up. You're not going to say, oh,
I'm doing laundry. You're gonna be like walking in the
park with my dog or something.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
She puts it very plainly. You wouldn't greet a strange
in a bar like this. Don't do it online either.
What are you doing? What are you guys doing? Hey,
what are you doing? Oh my god, that'd be so
weird and cringe if you're sitting there having a drink
and some guy walks and goes, hey, what are you
doing now? Don't lead with why are you on here?
There's no point in asking this unless you want something
(14:17):
like real, truthful.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, I'm just getting out of a messy relationship and
I thought i'd dip my toe in the dating pool again.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Can you imagine if that opened the emotional faucet and
I would.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yes, there's a girl I know who basically her entire
TikTok is just her complaining about the dating world. And
I'm like, don't you realize that with every video you posed,
you are canceling another potential.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Scene loses its wings? Yes, so what to do? Instead?
Try a question and a comment based on what you
read on their profile that shows active reading, active listening. Hey,
I see that you're into pickleball. Yeah, be very careful though,
don't accidentally divulge information that maybe you got googling them
that isn't on their profile. There's that too that I've
ever done that before. Lean into your playful side. Show
(15:03):
your personality, have some fun, match their energy level so
they feel comfy and safe. There you go.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You know what, that's really important because you just don't
want to make someone feel cringe or like you're coming
out too fast, too furious.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
When all else fails, make them laugh? Am I right? Corey?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
All right? Any other tips? Leave a talkback on the
iHeartRadio app. It's that little red microphone. Yes, don't spell
cool k ewl. Don't think people have done that since seven? Ah, well,
you need to call my sister. Uh, huh, well, variety
from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's Star
one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey and we're
back with second date update. What's happening.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
What we want to do is help you out. Yes,
this is concerning your love life. You're trying to meet
the one and you think maybe you have and then
they ghost to you and you don't know why.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
So we try to figure it out. So we've got
Damon on the phone. Damon, good morning, Good morning, interesting
date a board game cafe out in the East Bay.
It's like, you guys are both game players. Is this accurate?
You and Bridget?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, and you met her online? This is what I'm
getting off the dam We matched, Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
We matched on one of the apps. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I love this because I love playing games and no
head games and in their in their analog games.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
We're not talking about video games, so that's cool. How
did it go?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Honestly? I thought it went great. Like I loved how
fun she seemed, and I liked that she was also
very into playing you know, board games and cards or cornball. Honestly,
you name it. She liked all the same type of
games I did.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I do. I do like a lady who likes to
play cornhole.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Not gonna lie, it's fun, but yeah, that's always a
good little pluss. But yeah, we just decided to have
a first date out of a board game.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Cafe and it went fine to your estimation.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
We had, you know, great banter. I had a blast.
We played a bunch of games and I won at scrabble,
which I was pretty fired up. And then, uh yeah,
after the date, like I said, I thought it went great,
but she's never texting me back.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Did you go all agro after you won? Because I
did tick a girl off one time. I beat her
at Mario Kart and then did twenty push ups just
because that would be annoying. The stosterone was high and
that gross. No, He's like what. Even David's like what, Yeah,
don't tell people that. Stop talking. So did she ghost?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I guess, or she just having a texture back yet.
I don't know. It's just I feel like we should
already be going on a second date.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Okay, Corey, what do you think happened?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Okay, So what I think happened is that a group
of misguided animal rights activists free cage chimp, not realizing
that it's infected with a rage virus. This is at
a research lab, and so Bridget realizes what's happening. The
city's deserted and on the run from like these zombie
like victims that are infected with the rage because of
(17:49):
the chimp. And so she's on the run with a
group of survivors trying to find her way to safety.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Oh, Mike, I hope not.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That seems like a lot.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
That would definitely be a valid excuse MM.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Outbreak, No, had no idea twenty eight days later, Sure, damon,
let's get back to the task at hand. I'll tell
you what. We're going to call her, you know the deal.
We'll call her, we'll have you on the line muted
so she can't hear you, and we'll see if we
can get some answers. I want to get you a
second date. I'm hoping it's a misunderstanding. Can you hang
(18:23):
on the line, Yeah, sure, awesome, all right, we'll do
it after this Second Date update Star one O one
three More variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and
today Star one O one three. It's Marcus and Corey
doing Second Date Update. We've got Damon on the phone.
He met Bridget online and then their first date was
at a board game cafe. I love that, which I
think is really neat. The only intel we have is
(18:44):
that they played a bunch of games. He did win
it scrabble, but everything was cool. Damon. How's my assessment
thus far? I mean spot on? All right, Well, let's
get to the call. Let's call her and see why
she's ghosting here, because we feel like the communication has
gone sideways. So go ahead and mute and let's get started. Hello. Hi,
(19:10):
may I speak with Bridget? Please? This is her high Bridget.
It's Marcus and Corey from start one to one three?

me to a really cute board game cafe, said that
I liked playing, and so like, this is really like,
I thought this was really cute, and because when I
play games, I think it's fun and life and it's
a good way to get to know someone. And it
(20:35):
became pretty clear pretty quickly that he takes game playing
very very seriously.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
What did he do?
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Really a lot of fun to be had, like he
at one point he accused me of sandbagging him during scrabble,
and even he pulled out like a little pocket dictionary
to prove that a word that I used didn't count game.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Did you get aggressive during the scrabble game? We covered this.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
No, I didn't get aggressive. I just like when people
play there. And to be honest, sounds like she's just
the one that doesn't like to lose.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
I don't like I don't like to lose. I'm pretty
sure that I'm not the one who had to call
a radio station to prove that I was sad of
losing out on a second date or something. So thank
you for improving my point.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Oh all right, this feels over. I hanged so hang on,
please hang on. Uh yeah, no need to get adcro over. Scrabble,
Star one on one three, Second Date Update seven oh five.
Weekday mornings, your replays at nine oh five. You got
the podcast, you know this. Corey will have that up
(21:46):
on there along with the rest of the calls by
noon today. Well variety from the two thousands, the nineties,
and today it's Star one on one three. It's Marcus
and Corey seven eighteen. Good morning. Shout out to everybody
starting school this morning. Yeah, ump in the car. Thanks
for having us on a lot of schools in Santa
Clara County that are starting today. I know Cabrio Union
School District, you know on the coast side, a lot
(22:08):
of schools starting today. Appreciate you guys, Thank you so much.
All right. The concept we're discussing is called quiet firing.
Quiet firing. This is where they don't tell you you're
getting let go, but there will be signs this sounds terrible.
It's like, just own up to it and let someone go. Man,
(22:30):
you ever fired anybody, It's terrible. It's terrible. First of all,
my dad used to say that.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
My dad said being a managing person, that letting someone
go is the worst. I have never been in the
position of power because why right.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
No one's going to give me that power. I went
from being the guy that did fire people to being
the guy this would be me. Hey, Corey, boss wants
to see you. Then you grab your headphones and as
you're leaving your office, I'm texting it to wipe your computer.
Oh no, I've heed me. Yeah, I've had that happen
to me. Who are you talking to? Sorry? At any rate,
(23:07):
here are some signs you might be getting quietly fired.
Number one, this has happened to me being excluded for meetings.
If you're suddenly not invited to meetings that you were
once to keep part of, that's a serious red flag.
This happened in the most awkward way to me. One
time at a radio station, you know, as a cluster
of station, like five stations. We had one boss. He
had you know, assistant program directors at each one running
(23:30):
things and they were trying to fix one station and
I ran into one of the other people and they're like, hey,
so I'll see in the meeting this afternoon. I was like,
what a meeting. Oh, we're going to be discussing blah
blah blah blah. And then he looked at me and
realized I hadn't been invited.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
And then he was like, uh, you know what's funny
is in this business Because I know our business is
very different than normal, you know, just nine to five's.
But if you are in our job and it's ten
o'clock in the morning on a Friday, and you see
your boss come to the studio just as the show
is ending bye.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Or.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
If somebody like me, the hatchet man Dwight Shrewt if
you will, comes in and says, hey, Corey, grab your headphones.
The boss wants to see you. I've never heard grab
your headphones.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Really no.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh god. I did it to a co worker as
a joke one time. It was the worst. It was
her birthday. Oh god. Everybody was gathered right outside the
studio and I walked in and said, hey, grab your headphones.
Boss wants to see you. She went white, grabs your
headphones comes out into a big sea of love. Aw
that's mean, but it was still mean at the same time.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I mean, I've never heard grab your headphones. I have
heard you're not likable, and oh well, they would go
they were more blunt with you. Another way, you're maybe
getting quietly fired. Policy driven quiet firing. For example, if
they you know you're remote, but all of a sudden
(25:02):
they mandate that remote workers must return to work, but
they know it's not physically possible for you too, Like
you're in another state, right, something like that. Okay, you
have shifting responsibilities, sudden changes in workload. I used to joke,
and it's not a joke.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
If you get what they call quote reassigned to special projects,
that's a if you see that in an email, or if.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
They tell you need to move your desk to the
basement and take care of the roach problem.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
As long as I can bring my stapler. This is
terrible to talk about. It really is quiet firing. Just
do it to my face, no kidding, Just go ahead
and go Corey. No one likes you buy. Okay, it's
time for good news with Marcus and Corey.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Sometimes all you need is one a good thought to
make it a great day.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So let's do this. It's good news on starfluck Line,
so we could do good news twice in morning seven.
This hour brought to you by Shreeven Company, Luxury time Pieces,
Fine Designers, Flawless Diamonds. This is all about an act
of kindness happened at a bar that then in turn
sparked a community to repair a ninety six year old
(26:19):
veterans home. Oh wow, and this one, this one got me.
Being from a military family, I have so much respect
for veterans active duty, the families that hold it down
at home. But this is a story of a guy
who met a Korean War vet just hanging out in
a bar in Maryland. So the guy's name is Alex,
(26:40):
the vet's name is Charlie. He's ninety six. So Alex
is talking to Charlie and his wife and realizes that
they they go to the bar after Charlie's oncology appointments
because he's battling some things and their house could use
some safety upgrades. He jumped right into action. He just
(27:03):
started making it happen. Rallied everybody at the bar. They
raised over ten thousand dollars. They rolled up their sleeves
and made all kinds of improvements eighty eight compliant bathroom,
safer windows, fresh painting, landscaping, a brand new walkway so
that Charlie no longer had to climb stairs. And most
(27:23):
of the people that helped out had never even met
the couple before.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
The stairs are huge. I knew like this neighborhood I
lived in, a lot of the older folks had moved
out because they just didn't want to deal with stairs anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
All of this generosity began with one simple like a
stranger buying somebody else's beer. Yeah, and hearing them out,
hearing their story. That is what they always say when
you meet a veteran, and it's reflexive to say thank
you for your service, which is great, but they have
so many stories. Yeah, ask him to tell you a story.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah, Anyway, I just thought that was pretty cool. It
is cool. That's our good news against seven forty. If
you ever have any to share, if you're celebrating anything
at your house, something cool that happened over the summer,
something maybe your your child did, let us know because
we do like to showcase local stories above everything else.

I found this. They look so young? Do you look young?
(00:32):
I know, I look, I'm fifty pounds heavier. It's one
of those pictures. Are you going to post this? It's

But you know what if you can't make fun of yourself.
Will you make fun of Oh goodness me, you know
what I mean. Yes, they just started their big tour.
(01:15):
I love those guys. They're so cool. They were the
sweetest boys. That's nice. Really, it's nice to hear you
like to hear that about celebrities. You know. I'm I'm
happy it's Friday Eve. It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't know if you've ever watched something that kind
of like viscerally affects your brain.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, And so I was just like randomly scrolling movies
and watched this movie without my husband, and I was.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Like, I have to examine everything in my life right now.
The movie got you. It did, it did, But it
kind of made me also go, I need to really
appreciate my husband and make sure he knows that I
appreciate it. Was it one of those relationshippy movies? Yeah? Yeah, Yeah.
It's always interesting because you watch these movies and it's always,
(02:05):
you know, if they're fighting, it's always people that are
fifteen twenty years into your relationship, just like us. And
then I'm like, oh god, oh god, this hits a
little hard sometimes.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
What was nice, though, is there is a situation where
it was like one person's working in the other one isn't.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And in my husband.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I have been through that on both sides, one where
I was working and he wasn't. In another time when
he was working, I wasn't, and there was no resentment,
and that was the big key, right, resentment.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Oh, Resentment's always the key. Yeah, we do not have time. No, no,
this is not a therapy session. Uh, what are we
going to get into here in a little bit. We
want to get you on a boat with us. Yes,
Marcus and Corey's Big Day on the Bay coming up

(02:54):
seven thirty five the more variety from the two thousands,
the nineties, and today it's Star one on one three.
It's Marcus and core you Good morning.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So there was this redit threat I thought was interesting,
especially since I've never really been abroad. Habits people take
on after traveling to other countries.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I find this interesting because my sister has traveled way
more than I have.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
She thinks she's European.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Huh, She's not, like, do it a full Madonna where
she has a British accent now, but a lot of
her text messages use French words.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I think she's also doing that because I just
went to France. Oh sure, but it.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Is funny because she hasn't she hadn't done that before
she had traveled all these places.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know. The one habit I would love to have
picked up after going to Mexico is the Mexican work schedule.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Oh oh, you know how they roll out there, Well,
they do siestas, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You eat breakfast at like I don't know, nine, you
go to work for I don't know, three four hours,
then you come home at one o'clock. Everything shuts down.
You can't even go to the bank. And from one
to three you eat a gigantic meal and then you sleep.
The problem with that is that I would not come back. Well,
that's the issue is then you get up and then
(04:05):
you're supposed to report back to work from like I
don't know, three to seven or four to eight, and
then you get home and you're eating dinner at like nine,
and then everybody goes out. Oh my dream schedule not
conducive to our lifestyle. No, I would not be able
to maintain this morning show on that. But like Spain,
I think is the same thing. And again I'm kind
(04:26):
of talking out of my butt because I've never been
to Spain, but I understand like they roll pretty late
in the evening, and I like that. What we're talking
about is habits people have taken on after traveling to
other countries. This one's real, somebody wrote. I joke with
my partner one of the most expensive parts of our
trip to Japan was the midday we bought when we
got home. Oh I did that after Vegas.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I know that's not out of the country, but we
stayed at the Aria, and the Aria has those bidet
toilet seats, so you don't have to get a new toilet,
you just put the seat on there, okay. And somebody
said to me, what was the best part of your
to Vegas. I'm like, the bidet toilet seat and they're like,
don't tell people that there.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Well, they're life changing, they really are.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I mean, you're saving toilet paper and you just feel
better about yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I was up in Yankville and they had them in
the public restrooms in the lobby of this hotel that
I was staying at and I walked in there, I
came out and I go If I worked here, i'd
go on break and never come back. I don't know
if I wanted to hear that. Here's another one. After
my husband and I went to Denmark together, we immediately
(05:34):
changed to two comforters at home. No more yanking the
blankets off each other in the middle of the night.
It's almost better than couple's therapy.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's interesting because one of the things I noticed in
France there was no top sheet. There was the cover
sheet for the mattress and it was a comforter, but
there was no top sheet.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And I need that, But that wasn't It feels weird
and it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Just like So we stayed in an apartment for the
first part of our trip, then we stayed at a
hotel at Disney, and then we stayed at a hotel
back in Paris.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Sure, every single one of them no top sheet. I
feel naked without a top sheet. Yeah, if you have
traveled abroad, give me a habit that you brought back
after going to a different country.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I feel like something like what you drink too, like tea,
Like maybe you were really into coffee, but then you
go to the UK and you drink a lot of tea.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Now, oh, somebody wrote that living in the UK, now
I need a proper brew every morning. M h. I
get it. Like going to my husband living in Miami.
He loves his Cuban coffee. All right, So jump on
the talk back. If you have something that you brought
back from abroad, we would love to hear about it.
It's a little red microphone. If you're streaming Star one
on one three right now, this is what I'm talking about.
(06:45):
It's what's trending on Star.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
What's happening in entertainment news, the biggest stories of the day,
and everything people are talking about today in the Bay.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
What's Trending is brought to you by Cash Creek Casina
Resort Experience, Live Entertainment where fun meets Luxury. By tickets
now at Cashcreek dot com. Taylor Swift was on The
New Heights Brought a podcast yesterday hosted by her boyfriend
Travis Kelsey and his brother Jason, and she talked about
her new album, The Life of a Show Girl, talked
about getting her masters back, and even shared some details
(07:15):
on our love story with Travis.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It was super Cute, So Cute.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
The Life of a show Girl will drop on October
third with twelve tracks, and Sabrina Carpenter is featured on
the title track, Taylor's Swift. Being on the New Heights
podcast last night broke the Internet, reaching one point three
million viewers in fifteen minutes just on YouTube. That's amazing
to me. And the thing is, I think it's what
we all need right now. It's like ted Lasso in
(07:42):
the middle of the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I means, you know, the argument can be made, are
they oversaturated? Do we hear about them too much? The
thing is like, they're so cute together.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't think we hear about them too much, to
be honest, because I feel like after the football season
was over and her tour stopped, I think they kind
of you took some I'm out.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Of the spotlight. I'm excited for new music. Me too. Gosh,
I feel like she never rests on our laurels when
it comes to writing. Good for her.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
If you're a traveler who enjoys the company of a caneine,
but you don't have one, or you can't bring them
with you.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
There's a solution. Go to China.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I hope this hotel idea happens here. I mean, there's
a lot of dog friendly hotels here explain the hotel idea,
but this is different because the news services where guests
can book a pet themed room for seventy dollars a
night and you get your choice of ten dog breeds
to share the room with, including Golden Retrievers, Huskies, West
Highland Terriers, Corgis.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Get them in here. Oh my goodness, it's a hit.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
People are like loving it and the picture is adorable
because there's this guy lying in the hotel bed with
like seven dogs all around him, and it's like, I
feel bad because I'm kind of like, Jeff, you don't
have to come, my husband, the more room for dogs.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
If you don't. Gold Vision Duncan are reto. You mean
to bring back pumpkin spice grams for the third year.
So this is pumpkin, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg on a
Graham cracker.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Duncan and Goldfish recommend eating these as a standalone or
parrot with a Pso.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
What a good that's a good combo.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Pumpkin spice lot I hear like pumpkin spice lattes are
coming out sooner than ever.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Probably next week. Yeah, exactly. A reminder tomorrow there's gonna
be a big concert you need to know about in
Golden Gate Park. It's like they have him every single weekend.
Zach Brian's going to be in town with Kings of Leon. Okay,
that's going to be thousands of people. Yeah, and just
this heads up if you don't have a ticket, it's
just because it's gonna be pretty gnarmly driving around and whatnot.

a bet someone dared you to do it at X's name?

These are pretty bad. Maybe you're planning a date for
the weekend. Those of you that aren't already hooked up,
and you're in the dating world, as evidence by second
date update, it's tough out there, it really is, and
(11:59):
everybody's using the dating apps. This is still funny even
if you are already hooked up in a relationship. Yes,
number one on the list. Don't ever just text with
hey or hi. Nothing screams generic laziness. Yes, like typing
two or three letters and out. I get annoyed with that,
just in regular life. I have some buddies that do that. Well,
what's the point. I mean, if you're texting me, do
(12:20):
you need something to do? Give any question?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And also glomming onto this first one about don't just
say hey or hi. Make sure that you are using
proper grammar, because if you send me a message and
there's misspellings or no, dude, weird commas.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I feel like in twenty twenty five, we're so lazy
now that it's up to you to figure it out,
Like if there's a misspelling or some like you know,
you know what I meant is a very popular whenever
I go grammar police on somebody, Oh well you know
what I meant? No, nobody likes to know it all.
It's the same thing as when somebody forget it. I'm
not disagreeing with you.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Response to a text with the letter K you can't
even spell out okay.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's too much effort. I had a buddy do this
to me three days ago. All he said a text.
All he wrote was Yo, what what? What do you want?
What do you want? Finish the text? Don't waste my
messaging data. Another terrible opening line. If you're texting somebody
you just met for a date, just writing you're hot,
bonus points. If you just write you are you are puck.
(13:27):
It's just come up with something more creative.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Hey, your picture caught me off guard, or I hope
you don't mind if I say you're beautiful, right, but
not like, oh man, you're hot smoking?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Inappropriate objectification is what she says. Don't lead with what
are you doing right now? Bonus points? If you just
write what are you doing? Are in?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
You're gonna make something up. You're not going to say, oh,
I'm doing laundry. You're gonna be like walking in the
park with my dog or something.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
She puts it very plainly. You wouldn't greet a strange
in a bar like this. Don't do it online either.
What are you doing? What are you guys doing? Hey,
what are you doing? Oh my god, that'd be so
weird and cringe if you're sitting there having a drink
and some guy walks and goes, hey, what are you
doing now? Don't lead with why are you on here?
There's no point in asking this unless you want something
(14:17):
like real, truthful.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, I'm just getting out of a messy relationship and
I thought i'd dip my toe in the dating pool again.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Can you imagine if that opened the emotional faucet and
I would.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yes, there's a girl I know who basically her entire
TikTok is just her complaining about the dating world. And
I'm like, don't you realize that with every video you posed,
you are canceling another potential.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Scene loses its wings? Yes, so what to do? Instead?
Try a question and a comment based on what you
read on their profile that shows active reading, active listening. Hey,
I see that you're into pickleball. Yeah, be very careful though,
don't accidentally divulge information that maybe you got googling them
that isn't on their profile. There's that too that I've
ever done that before. Lean into your playful side. Show
(15:03):
your personality, have some fun, match their energy level so
they feel comfy and safe. There you go.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You know what, that's really important because you just don't
want to make someone feel cringe or like you're coming
out too fast, too furious.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
When all else fails, make them laugh? Am I right? Corey?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
All right? Any other tips? Leave a talkback on the
iHeartRadio app. It's that little red microphone. Yes, don't spell
cool k ewl. Don't think people have done that since seven? Ah, well,
you need to call my sister. Uh, huh, well, variety
from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's Star
one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey and we're
back with second date update. What's happening.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
What we want to do is help you out. Yes,
this is concerning your love life. You're trying to meet
the one and you think maybe you have and then
they ghost to you and you don't know why.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
So we try to figure it out. So we've got
Damon on the phone. Damon, good morning, Good morning, interesting
date a board game cafe out in the East Bay.
It's like, you guys are both game players. Is this accurate?
You and Bridget?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, and you met her online? This is what I'm
getting off the dam We matched, Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
We matched on one of the apps. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I love this because I love playing games and no
head games and in their in their analog games.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
We're not talking about video games, so that's cool. How
did it go?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Honestly? I thought it went great. Like I loved how
fun she seemed, and I liked that she was also
very into playing you know, board games and cards or cornball. Honestly,
you name it. She liked all the same type of
games I did.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I do. I do like a lady who likes to
play cornhole.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Not gonna lie, it's fun, but yeah, that's always a
good little pluss. But yeah, we just decided to have
a first date out of a board game.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Cafe and it went fine to your estimation.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
We had, you know, great banter. I had a blast.
We played a bunch of games and I won at scrabble,
which I was pretty fired up. And then, uh yeah,
after the date, like I said, I thought it went great,
but she's never texting me back.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Did you go all agro after you won? Because I
did tick a girl off one time. I beat her
at Mario Kart and then did twenty push ups just
because that would be annoying. The stosterone was high and
that gross. No, He's like what. Even David's like what, Yeah,
don't tell people that. Stop talking. So did she ghost?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I guess, or she just having a texture back yet.
I don't know. It's just I feel like we should
already be going on a second date.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Okay, Corey, what do you think happened?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Okay, So what I think happened is that a group
of misguided animal rights activists free cage chimp, not realizing
that it's infected with a rage virus. This is at
a research lab, and so Bridget realizes what's happening. The
city's deserted and on the run from like these zombie
like victims that are infected with the rage because of
(17:49):
the chimp. And so she's on the run with a
group of survivors trying to find her way to safety.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Oh, Mike, I hope not.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That seems like a lot.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
That would definitely be a valid excuse MM.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Outbreak, No, had no idea twenty eight days later, Sure, damon,
let's get back to the task at hand. I'll tell
you what. We're going to call her, you know the deal.
We'll call her, we'll have you on the line muted
so she can't hear you, and we'll see if we
can get some answers. I want to get you a
second date. I'm hoping it's a misunderstanding. Can you hang
(18:23):
on the line, Yeah, sure, awesome, all right, we'll do
it after this Second Date update Star one O one
three More variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and
today Star one O one three. It's Marcus and Corey
doing Second Date Update. We've got Damon on the phone.
He met Bridget online and then their first date was
at a board game cafe. I love that, which I
think is really neat. The only intel we have is
(18:44):
that they played a bunch of games. He did win
it scrabble, but everything was cool. Damon. How's my assessment
thus far? I mean spot on? All right, Well, let's
get to the call. Let's call her and see why
she's ghosting here, because we feel like the communication has
gone sideways. So go ahead and mute and let's get started. Hello. Hi,
(19:10):
may I speak with Bridget? Please? This is her high Bridget.
It's Marcus and Corey from start one to one three?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
What's up? And are doing?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
No?
Speaker 6 (19:24):
How are you guys?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Good? Do you listen to our show?
Speaker 6 (19:27):
I absolutely do?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Awesome? Tell your friends, Hi, we're doing second date update
with you? Oh? Is that okay? Are you okay with that?
Speaker 6 (19:40):
That's fine?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Have you have you ghosted on a date recently? Asking
for a friend?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I have?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Okay, Well he's being honest. Well let's go ahead and
bring all right, jamon On, we have Damon with us. Bridget,
how it goes? And we want to know what he
did wrong? Like you and so like, how was the
I'm assuming he's the one you're referencing when you say
you ghosted on somebody, that's a And then can you
(20:09):
tell me did something happen? What happened?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
I okay, Well, let me let me first say that
most of the date was fun. You know, he took
me to a really cute board game cafe, said that
I liked playing, and so like, this is really like,
I thought this was really cute, and because when I
play games, I think it's fun and life and it's
a good way to get to know someone. And it
(20:35):
became pretty clear pretty quickly that he takes game playing
very very seriously.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
What did he do?
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Really a lot of fun to be had, like he
at one point he accused me of sandbagging him during scrabble,
and even he pulled out like a little pocket dictionary
to prove that a word that I used didn't count game.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Did you get aggressive during the scrabble game? We covered this.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
No, I didn't get aggressive. I just like when people
play there. And to be honest, sounds like she's just
the one that doesn't like to lose.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
I don't like I don't like to lose. I'm pretty
sure that I'm not the one who had to call
a radio station to prove that I was sad of
losing out on a second date or something. So thank
you for improving my point.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Oh all right, this feels over. I hanged so hang on,
please hang on. Uh yeah, no need to get adcro over. Scrabble,
Star one on one three, Second Date Update seven oh five.
Weekday mornings, your replays at nine oh five. You got
the podcast, you know this. Corey will have that up
(21:46):
on there along with the rest of the calls by
noon today. Well variety from the two thousands, the nineties,
and today it's Star one on one three. It's Marcus
and Corey seven eighteen. Good morning. Shout out to everybody
starting school this morning. Yeah, ump in the car. Thanks
for having us on a lot of schools in Santa
Clara County that are starting today. I know Cabrio Union
School District, you know on the coast side, a lot
(22:08):
of schools starting today. Appreciate you guys, Thank you so much.
All right. The concept we're discussing is called quiet firing.
Quiet firing. This is where they don't tell you you're
getting let go, but there will be signs this sounds terrible.
It's like, just own up to it and let someone go. Man,
(22:30):
you ever fired anybody, It's terrible. It's terrible. First of all,
my dad used to say that.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
My dad said being a managing person, that letting someone
go is the worst. I have never been in the
position of power because why right.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
No one's going to give me that power. I went
from being the guy that did fire people to being
the guy this would be me. Hey, Corey, boss wants
to see you. Then you grab your headphones and as
you're leaving your office, I'm texting it to wipe your computer.
Oh no, I've heed me. Yeah, I've had that happen
to me. Who are you talking to? Sorry? At any rate,
(23:07):
here are some signs you might be getting quietly fired.
Number one, this has happened to me being excluded for meetings.
If you're suddenly not invited to meetings that you were
once to keep part of, that's a serious red flag.
This happened in the most awkward way to me. One
time at a radio station, you know, as a cluster
of station, like five stations. We had one boss. He
had you know, assistant program directors at each one running
(23:30):
things and they were trying to fix one station and
I ran into one of the other people and they're like, hey,
so I'll see in the meeting this afternoon. I was like,
what a meeting. Oh, we're going to be discussing blah
blah blah blah. And then he looked at me and
realized I hadn't been invited.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
And then he was like, uh, you know what's funny
is in this business Because I know our business is
very different than normal, you know, just nine to five's.
But if you are in our job and it's ten
o'clock in the morning on a Friday, and you see
your boss come to the studio just as the show
is ending bye.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Or.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
If somebody like me, the hatchet man Dwight Shrewt if
you will, comes in and says, hey, Corey, grab your headphones.
The boss wants to see you. I've never heard grab
your headphones.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Really no.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh god. I did it to a co worker as
a joke one time. It was the worst. It was
her birthday. Oh god. Everybody was gathered right outside the
studio and I walked in and said, hey, grab your headphones.
Boss wants to see you. She went white, grabs your
headphones comes out into a big sea of love. Aw
that's mean, but it was still mean at the same time.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I mean, I've never heard grab your headphones. I have
heard you're not likable, and oh well, they would go
they were more blunt with you. Another way, you're maybe
getting quietly fired. Policy driven quiet firing. For example, if
they you know you're remote, but all of a sudden
(25:02):
they mandate that remote workers must return to work, but
they know it's not physically possible for you too, Like
you're in another state, right, something like that. Okay, you
have shifting responsibilities, sudden changes in workload. I used to joke,
and it's not a joke.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
If you get what they call quote reassigned to special projects,
that's a if you see that in an email, or if.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
They tell you need to move your desk to the
basement and take care of the roach problem.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
As long as I can bring my stapler. This is
terrible to talk about. It really is quiet firing. Just
do it to my face, no kidding, Just go ahead
and go Corey. No one likes you buy. Okay, it's
time for good news with Marcus and Corey.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Sometimes all you need is one a good thought to
make it a great day.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So let's do this. It's good news on starfluck Line,
so we could do good news twice in morning seven.
This hour brought to you by Shreeven Company, Luxury time Pieces,
Fine Designers, Flawless Diamonds. This is all about an act
of kindness happened at a bar that then in turn
sparked a community to repair a ninety six year old
(26:19):
veterans home. Oh wow, and this one, this one got me.
Being from a military family, I have so much respect
for veterans active duty, the families that hold it down
at home. But this is a story of a guy
who met a Korean War vet just hanging out in
a bar in Maryland. So the guy's name is Alex,
(26:40):
the vet's name is Charlie. He's ninety six. So Alex
is talking to Charlie and his wife and realizes that
they they go to the bar after Charlie's oncology appointments
because he's battling some things and their house could use
some safety upgrades. He jumped right into action. He just
(27:03):
started making it happen. Rallied everybody at the bar. They
raised over ten thousand dollars. They rolled up their sleeves
and made all kinds of improvements eighty eight compliant bathroom,
safer windows, fresh painting, landscaping, a brand new walkway so
that Charlie no longer had to climb stairs. And most
(27:23):
of the people that helped out had never even met
the couple before.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
The stairs are huge. I knew like this neighborhood I
lived in, a lot of the older folks had moved
out because they just didn't want to deal with stairs anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
All of this generosity began with one simple like a
stranger buying somebody else's beer. Yeah, and hearing them out,
hearing their story. That is what they always say when
you meet a veteran, and it's reflexive to say thank
you for your service, which is great, but they have
so many stories. Yeah, ask him to tell you a story.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah, Anyway, I just thought that was pretty cool. It
is cool. That's our good news against seven forty. If
you ever have any to share, if you're celebrating anything
at your house, something cool that happened over the summer,
