Do You Think A Four-Day Work Would Actually Work?
Seven in 10 workers feel they could be just as productive in a four-day work week, according to new research. 

Things That Make Insomnia Worse
  • Staying in bed longer - Experts advise a sleep routine of getting up at the same time every morning and only getting into bed when you’re truly tired.
  • Cutting out screens completely - Lying in bed without something to focus on can lead to overthinking, which is terrible for sleep. That’s when having something to distract your thoughts can be helpful, but stick with something calm, like a nature documentary or soothing podcast.
  • Swearing off caffeine forever - Caffeine blocks adenosine, which makes you sleepy, so if an afternoon cup of tea keeps you awake at night, skip it. 
  • Trying too hard to sleep “right” - Trackers, gadgets and products to enhance sleep make it easy to obsess over snoozing, but that can backfire and give you anxiety. Your body knows how to rest and micromanaging it can add pressure, instead of helping.
  • Expecting consistency - Thanks to things like age, stress, hormones and even the weather, some nights sleep will be easier than others, and that’s normal. You won’t get a solid eight hours every night, so don’t expect it or beat yourself up if the popular advice isn’t helping you.⠀

House Noises You Shouldn't Ignore
  • Rushing water noises - Do a quick check for pooling water in areas that are prone to leaking, like your sink or bathroom, and checking the water meter is also a good idea. 
  • Buzzing from lights - If you hear any sounds coming from your outlets or switches, call a licensed electrician.
  • Whistling or hissing noises near gas-based appliances - This could be a “really serious indicator of a potential danger in your home that could lead to a house fire,” 
  • Dripping faucet sounds - It’s less of an immediate emergency, but it can cost you more the longer you ignore it.
  • Gurgling toilets - If it gurgles after you flush, that would be indication that you either have a backup and the water can pass but it’s struggling. 

Second Date Update
Amanda called us about Gabe. They matched on Bumble and met for coffee in Redwood City. Amanda said the conversation was fun, she was smiling the whole time, and she really thought there was chemistry. But Gabe never reached out again.

More variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one on one three Marcus and Corey right
before six Wednesday already.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's up, Hope?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Are you? Corey?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm good.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
I mean, I'm still just left in limbo because I
haven't gotten an email yet from UCSF with the results
of my MRI, and I really really really would like
to know that, but I know it was a holiday weekend,
so I'm trying to be patient.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
It's really hard.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I just want to know if my head's gonna fall off.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
I don't want to I don't want them to deliver
any if anybody from UCSF, the Records Department. I don't
want you to deliver any information until about ten forty
five this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I hope it's like it's sevent ten, Oh god.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
And I'm like, if it's bad news, then mope, Moeperson
over here is all all day? No, I mean, think
about it. My head stayed on this long. I mean,
I don't think your head's going anywhere. All right, Well,
how are you well? School has obviously started last week

(01:05):
and everything kind of anything's kind of rolling back into
like fall normal. But man, they do not mess around
like these first few weeks of school. Anybody else feeling this, Like,
my daughter was in volleyball practice yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
That's amazing to me.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Like two days in here we go, WHOA, first games
next week? Whoa?

Speaker 4 (01:23):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
I mean, did they practice over the summer?

Speaker 1 (01:26):
She did, okay, And I am very interested to see.
She loves volleyball. Her mom played at DeAnza and her
mom played it at State and so like there's volleyball
in the veins. But she went to a camp over
the summer that was taught by some you know, ex
Stanford hitters and the coach of half Mum Bay High

(01:46):
who really his program's fantastic, so cool. I'm very interested
to see where her skill level is compared to compared
to last year. Yeah, she's got the height, so we'll see.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I mean, man, they start things fast.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, I was saying it's a sighting, but also like, guck,
can we can we ease into this? Nope, Nope, nope
under miles gas, no breaks, baby, yep, just like this
show exactly if you're feeling that right now with your kids,
like I see you anyway. Six oh two later on
this morning, more tickets for Ariana Grande. We have them
all week. They are going on sale next week the

(02:20):
tenth believe it's next Tuesday at ticketmaster dot com and
we will have them at eight o five this morning
with the trivia game. Keep the radio on well variety
from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's Star
one on one three, it's Marcus and Corey. Four day
work were going on right now for most of us.
May survey just came out. New research says most Americans

(02:42):
think that is plenty of time to get your job done.
Seventy percent of people think they can be just as
productive working just thirty two hours of week. Of course we.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Do, but the question is how much time do you
faf off during your work day.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh, there's a lot of faffing going on.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Because so the whole working thing, we've kind of gotten
away from it. Like so my husband does the three
to two, so he works from home Monday and Friday
and then goes to work Tuesday through Thursday. And I
think a lot of companies have adopted kind of schedules
like that.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
But when my husband's home, he's.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Working, he is a pillar of the community. I've never
seen anything like it. We went to lunch with him
one time and he gave it sixty one.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Minutes and then he had to go back to his ave.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I tried to get him to have a beer with me.
He's like, nope, I'm working. It was a Friday. But
are you other? Almost anti American.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
The other end of the spectrum is my friend who
works from home and he works for like twenty minutes
right in theny gardens right, and then he works twenty
minutes and they decent apps.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
I called one of our coworkers at one thirty in
the afternoon on a Friday and he was out skeet shooting.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Oh boy.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
My only point, I'm not trying to put people on blast.
My only point is I know there are a lot
of us that work really hard. Yeah, and you know
it's ten hour days, twelve hour days. I don't know
what your capacity is, or what you your job is,
or what your industry is, but really self audit how
much of your time is actually spent actively working and

(04:09):
how much of it is spent scrolling social media or
rolling through Amazon because you forgot to get a little
some some about something.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
But there are certain jobs but that's not even possible.
Let's say you're a delivery driver or you're a garbage
truck driver.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
And again, I don't like to speak on things I
don't know anything about, even though I do it every day.
Yeah you do, But how many of us be honest
with yourself? How much of your day is actually spent
just faffing off?

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I mean, it's kind of hard to faf off in
here because if we do, then there's dead air, and
that's a sin.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Faffin is what we do for work.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
If you be I'm real, Yeah, this isn't a real job.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Come on?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Then it's generational too, So seventy five percent of millennials,
seventy percent of both Gen Z and Gen X, less
than half of baby boomers woul support the idea of
switching to a four day work week.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
I mean, there's some European countries that do it.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, we couldn't do that here unless the entire Bay
Area switch to a four day work week. You and
I are coming in five days a week. But again,
we get paid to talk, smack and play music. It's
what you know, I mean, is that a real gig?
I mean what I'm like? I mean, sometimes we get
on social media and we do videos. Sometimes we chat
all them.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Sometimes we do that all of it.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
You're basically teenagers in here.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
So why does my body feel like a teenager?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Could you wrap up your work for real in just
thirty two hours a week? I think there's a lot
of people who could. And if you're working from home,
sound off. Are you like really working or you just
kind of like it's Friday?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Say gosh.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
There were some people who were so motivated working from home.
Not only were they working from home, they had that
treadmill under their desk and they were walking and working
for that.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah. Yeah, anyway, hit us up please, I'm very interested.
Leave a talk back if you don't mind us a
little red microphone on the iHeartRadio app. If you're streaming
Star one on one three right now, how much work
are you actually doing every day? Be honest? And then
could you knock it out in thirty two hours? Those
are the questions. That's your homework. Thank you so much,
Star one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey Wednesday morning.

(06:17):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
This study's blowing my mind.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, we give out a lot of tips on how
to sleep better. This one's a little bit different. We're
gonna flip the script. Popular sleep tips, some of which
we've probably given, that could actually be making your insomnia worse.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
What do we always say? We always say, don't bring
your devices to bed.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Right, But apparently cutting out screens completely is not one
hundred percent necessary, it says right here, we've all heard
that blue light from your screens is the problem, but
what's going on in your head might be the bigger issue.
Lying in bed without something to focus on can lead
to overthinking, which is terrible for sleep. You don't think
about overthinking, Corey.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
No, not at all. I never overthink things end or
cause anxiety.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Having something to distract your thoughts can be helpful, but
stick with something calm. So again, they're not saying you
should be flipping through TikTok like I do, but have
on a nature documentary or like white noise. I mean,
the nature documentary is all calm and stuff until the
pride of lions runs into the pack of antelope, so
and then it gets weird.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Wait a minute, just white noise for me, please.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
And I'll be honest with you. I have read that, yes,
blue light messes up your sleep, but only for about
ten minutes. So it's not like an all night right,
So food for thought. Here's something else that might actually
be making your insomnia worse. Trying to swear off caffeine.
Forever says, you don't necessarily have to give up coffee
one hundred percent, but it depends on how your body
handles it.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
I just don't drink coffee afternoon.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I can't, and heaven forbid, I get myself a coke
zero at like three in the afternoon. Oh great, Yeah,
you can't do that. I'm cooked after that.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Trying too hard to sleep quote unquote right with a tracker,
a gadget, a product to enhance your sleep. The problem
then is you start obsessing about I gotta get to bed,
I gotta get sleep. I gotta get sleep. I gotta
get sleep, and that adds pressure instead of actually helped.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
It's the worst I've had those nights, and my husband
will check, like our sleep number data.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I'm like, I don't want to know. I already know
I slept my crap. I don't need to see it
in numbers.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
I understand the thought process on this next one, but
I don't know if I agree staying in bed longer
is actually not a good idea. It seems logical to
go to bed earlier if you're not getting of sleep.
But according to this, the more time you spend in
bed awake, the more your brain associates your bed with
stress instead of sleep.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
Geez.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
They suggest get up at the same time every morning. Nope,
and only go to bed when you're truly tired.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Dude. It was a long weekend and Mama did not
get out of that bed until at least after ten.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
I didn't either.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
It was wonderful.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
I felt weird when my wife was up making her
macha before me and then looking at my watching going
oh god, it's ten fifteen.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I love it, I love it.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
There you go. These are some tips that you will
hear that might actually make making your insomnia worse. This
is what talking about.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's what's trending on Star, what's happening in entertainment news,
the biggest stories of the day, and everything people are
talking about today. In the Babe, there's an allergy nasal
spray that may help in the prevention of COVID. There
are some trials carried out that found that the antistamine
as a lestine sold both over the counter and as
a prescription lowered the rate of COVID infection. You can

(09:29):
also use it for other respiratory infections like the flu
and RSV. You got to use it three times a
day in each nostril for peak effectiveness. Now, if you
don't know what that is, the brand names are asked
topro and Astaline.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I thought it was pronounced aline occurring last hour.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Uh no, that's the actual drug itself.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
As a lastine. As a lastine, I'd just like to
say it like that.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
You do a lot.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
If I had a daughter, she would be as a Lestine.
What a great name, princess as a last Steen reports
immediately a Scooter Braun you would know as a guy
behind the scenes in music. He basically helped Justin Bieber
and he's currently dating Sidney Sweeney apparently. Now there were

(10:16):
rumors that she was mingling with Tom Brady in Orlando
Blue right back in June in Venice at Jeff bezos
Is in Lauren Sanchez's wedding. That's where they reportedly met.
This would be Sydney and Scooter. Sydney and Scooter, Oh
my god, you guys at Sidy and Scooter. But it's
very casual at this point is that his real name Scooter.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I hope not. When you're named after a mode of transportation,
it just puts you in a different mindset.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
I feel like it takes me to the Redneck Riviera
in Florida.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Hey Scooter, that was everybody's nickname in the Redneck Riviera.
Am I right?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm out of Pabst. We need to make a run.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Hey Scooter.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Bbr Channing Datum was in Deadpool and Wolverine as the
character Gambit, and one of the running gags was that
his Cajun accent was just so insane you couldn't understand
what he was saying. So when he comes back in
Avengers Doomsday, which hits theater's December eighteenth, twenty twenty six,

(11:20):
he says, I'm going to tone it down.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
It won't be as full Cajun.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
They won't meet the subtitles.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
And Robert Daddy Junior's back as Doctor Doom in Avengers Dooms.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
It's a beautiful language, you know, a dialect or mode
of speaking, but it is difficult to understand.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
If you've seen the movie The water Boy with Adam Sandlery, Yes,
and one of the staff on the football team has
such a heavy accent you can't understand anything he's saying.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yes, I'm going to lead with something just dumb. Remax
just dropped their one hundred ugliest public Buildings in America.
There's a ranker for.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
This, really, what are we talking?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Number one it's the City of Flint Municipal Center in Flint, Michigan.
But number two is the Fresno County Superior Courthouse. And
I could attest after having been there for numerous traffic violations.
It's on point.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
It's ugly.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
That is not a pleasant looking building. Okay, we'll remain
in the central Valley as the modesto city Courthouse comes
in fourteen. I don't know why this kind of stuff
fascinates me, but it does.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Who spends money on this? I hope it's not.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Taxpayers people that know I'm going to read it. Yeah, exactly,
I'm going to go to another list. Top five colleges
in America Mit number one, but Stanford comes in number four,
Go trees nice, and then the University of California and Berkeley,
cal comes in number five, also ranking as the number
one public university in these United States. Go Bears. Corey's
alma mater, where her father works. The University of Florida

(12:50):
ranked number thirty over all, number five public universities in
the nation.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I'll take care there you go.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
A federal judge is allowing Google to keep its Chrome browser.
They had originally said that, you know, there's they basically
have a monopoly. The DJ wanted them to sell off Chrome.
But Google gets the win. They get to keep Chrome.
They will be barred from exclusive contracts and must share
search data with their competitors. That is the that's the
give and take there. But they do get to keep Chrome.

(13:16):
That would have been strange. Hey, you got to sell
off your highest performing browser. Yeah? Uh, this also very strange.
But according to a study, majority of people say that
if you are sexting with AI, it is still cheating.
In my wildest dreams, I didn't even think to start
chatting with AI in that way, shape.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
And form, wouldn't it be this? But do you consider
watching adult content cheating?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I don't think so, because you're not communicating with something.
But I feel like that's the same vein so do I.
But AI has gotten so lifelike you're basically but it's
not human yet.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Gross.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Sorry keeping it weird over here. Yeah, Giants top the
Rockies seven to four. Rafael Davers had a two run
homer that cleared the benches. I guess he celebrated a
little bit too much and the pitcher got annoyed that
all of a sudden everybody came out of the dugout.
A couple of Giants players got ejected, but there was
another homer in the eight that basically sealed the game.

(14:19):
So we are only three games out of the playoffs.
I'm saying there's a chance maybe we went over five
hundred as well. The next game is today at Corsfield
five point forty first pitch against the Rockies. That specific time,
Go Giants. Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries are on a
tear y'alls momentum is high with their fourth win yesterday
against the champion New York Liberty. The next game will

(14:43):
be Thursday night, another home game at Chase Center against
the Dallas Wings, probably another sellout. The fan base is strong.
Seven o'clock tip off. Let's go Valkyries on the start

For the two thousands, the nineties and today it's Star
one on one three It's Marcus and Corey time once
again for Second Date Update midweek already what's up?

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I know we had a long weekend in which we
run our boat crews and a lot of people told
me Second Date up day is their favorite.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Every time. It's gonna be my legacy these locals.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
It's Okay, that's okay.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
But you know what, we're trying to help people and
that's important. Let's say what's up to Amanda. Good morning,
Good morning? How are you?

Speaker 4 (16:05):
I am well, how are you all right?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I thought you'd be like, eh, well, i've been getting ghosted.
I'm fine. I guess I want to know about Gabe obviously,
so I understand he has ghosted. Can you tell us, like,
how you guys met, and then let's run through the
first date because I want to see what's going on.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Well, I thought the first date went really well, right,
I mean I was a little late to the restaurant,
but other than that, like, I thought that we had
a great conversation. I thought that he had fun. I
had a lot of fun. So I don't really know
why he hasn't answered me.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
What did you guys do?

Speaker 3 (16:38):
May?

Speaker 2 (16:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, we went out to eat and then honestly that
it was kind of short, but we had a lot
of fun eating. We went to Panera.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Okay, let me some Panera.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Sure, Hey, if the lady likes it, you're into it?
Why not?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Okay, here's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Tell me after a long day, so you don't know this,
but Gabe actually is a taxi driver and he was
about to like call off the day, you know, go home,
and then this guy gets in the taxi and offers
him six hundred bucks to make five stops, and it
sounds great until it turns out his fare is a

(17:17):
hit man, and each one of these stops involves a hit,
and so he's not comfortable with that, and he doesn't
know how this whole day is going to end.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
And so right now they're being hunted by the police
and the FBI.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Is it taxi driver? No, I don't. All right, somebody
hit the talk back. I don't know what just happened.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Oh my god, I didn't know about that.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Other than that, Other than that, he's fine.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Yeah, he seemed cool, like he was a nice superdriver.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
All right, well, I'll tell you what. Let's take a song,
we'll take a beat, and then we'll call him and
see if we can figure out what's going on. Okay, okay,
all right, hang on the line. We'll do it. Next.
It's Second Date Update, Star one oh one three, more
variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's
Star one O one three. Marcus and Corey doing second date. Update.
We've been talking with Amanda about her date with Gabe.

(18:13):
They went to Panera. Cute.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's kind of like my husband and I's first date.
We went to Noodles and Company.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, why not? Like I said, it's about the conversation
that happened to be all fancy. The lady likes Panera.
Let's go to Panera. Amanda, you still there? I am
okay by your estimation, it went fine. Conversation good. But
he has ghosted, which typically happens, so let's call him
and try to figure this out. We are going to
have you on the line, so please mute out, but
you will be able to listen in. Okay, Okay, here

(18:39):
we go.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Hello, Hello, mass speak with Gabe.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
Please, Hi Gabe.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's Marcus and Corey from Star one on one three.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Hey.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
It was just like not interested.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Wait, we're not.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Trying to sell you anything.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
We worked for a radio station out of San Francisco.
It's called Star one O one three. I don't suppose
you listen to our show. Okay, I'm gonna guess no.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
We do a dating topic and we talked to somebody
went on a date and got ghosted, and we were
wondering if you wouldn't mind participating in this little conversation.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
We actually got floated your phone number by one of
our listeners. She says that that you all went on
a date and she hasn't heard from you, and we're
just trying to figure out like if she something went
sideways or she did something wrong. Sorry, this is a lot.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Do you mind talking to us?

Speaker 5 (19:39):
Ah Man? I think I think I know who you're
talking about. Uh, I mean, I don't know if you
want me to be here, because it's going to be awkward,
you know.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
So I mean teachable moment, right like, just to make
sure we got the right person. Do you mind talking
about your date with Amanda? Because she is feeling ghosted
right now? So did did you ghost on her?

Speaker 5 (20:02):
I think of it, and I thought it was mutual,
you know what I'm saying. But she might feeling different
just the way she is and like we were talking
and stuff, like I thought like I thought she just
went somewhere else, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
And I with me, can you clarify a little bit, yeah,
like did something happen or what?

Speaker 5 (20:25):
All right? So I'll shoot straight. So basically, she's she's
really into astrology, and she came twenty minutes late to
our date, and she blamed it on mercury metrograde, like
one of these chicks, and like so after that.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
I don't know anybody like that.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
I believe that things go wonky when mercury is in retrograde.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
I mean, was that like was that it?

Speaker 5 (20:53):
Or so we were talking or sat down at the
table hanging out, and she just would stop talking about astrology,
and just like she's trying to get my birth charts,
she's trying to like break down my sign like talking
about sunstein or moon signs or like rising or descending

(21:16):
or what I was. It was so ridiculous and mind
numbing and like she wouldn't stop talking about it, and
I just kind of tuned out because I really don't
want to deal with like a kookie into astrology chick.
I've been there, done that. Like I had a crazy
girlfriend who was really into it, huh. And it was

(21:36):
just like she was sending me her like not just
her body cycles, her emotional cycles. I just didn't want
to deal with it, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
I thing, okay, Well, to be completely transparent.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Amanda stupid Amanda's listening.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Amanda, are you there?

Speaker 4 (21:55):
I am.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Okay, we got some clarity here, which is a plus.
Are you astrology or okay?

Speaker 4 (22:02):
I'm into astrology like Catholics are into Catholicism. Okay, it's
no different than religion. I just think that. Okay, Well,
I think you're kind of close minded for that to
be in your kind of judg mental, really kind of
eye ogreen.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
Yeah, I think you're kind of nuts with the whole.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Hang on, Gabe, Let's let's hear her out for a sec.
So let me get back to it. So, so you
use astrology quite a bit, is this, Amanda? Is this true?

Speaker 4 (22:30):
It is true? I mean full disclosure. As an only child,
I would use astrology as a way to relate to people,
to understand their personalities and understand, you know, who I'm
compatible with around me because I want to be around
like minded people. So obviously that's not Gabe, and that's fine.
But I was trying to figure that out and he
was giving me nothing. So it's like, well, what am

(22:51):
I supposed to do? I'm a yapper. I'm gonna start
yapping about things I'm interested in. If he's gonna sit
there silence, right.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
I think my husband would refer to me as a yapper.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
I think my wife would do the same.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Me the apper. Yeah. Obviously, as you can see, she's
kind of nice, you know, like, obviously we.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Can see that you're extremely close minded. And I regret
making this phone call in the first place and wasting
my time on someone like you.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Hang on you guys, how did she not ascertain that
that's not her guy? If she's so in tune, But maybe.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
She's really positive and was like kind of glasses half madball.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Maybe not a match either way. Anyway. Second Date Update
seven or five weekday mornings. You replay at nine oh five.
You got the podcast? You know this thousands of downloads
a week. Thank you Corey Foley for keeping it updated
every day by noon.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
It's my pleasure.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
It's on the iHeartRadio app. Marcus and Corey Second Date Update.
It's Star one on one three Marcus and Corey seven nineteen.
Good morning Wednesday. This made us laugh and cry at
the same time.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well just happened the other day to us.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
The five noises you absolutely cannot ignore. And this doesn't
matter if you own your house or rent your house.
To be honest with you, you any of these noises, you
got to take some action. More than likely what happened
to you before I get into this list.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Uh, Monday is the laundry day.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Uh Huh.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
We don't like to do it on the weekends because
it's it's higher rates for electricity.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
But Monday's laundry day and the dryer just started making
this horrific noise, just a terrible screeching.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I'm gonna need you to imitate off mike, probably.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
With every turn of the load.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
It's like a bad band.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
It turns out that that my husband googled it and
it's it just means your dryer's going out.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
And it's not even that old.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Didn't you just buy this dryer?

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Uh, it's probably like two or three years old. So
we got we got a lemon. So luckily it was
Labor Day weekend, so we had we take advantage of
the Labor day sales.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Can you do the noise again?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
It was just terrible.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
But the thing is when you hear noises like that
coming from your house, you're like, Okay, something's wrong. So
that's what this list is.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Number one. This is the one that fills me with
the most anxiety when you can hear water rushing somewhere,
because that means you probably have a leak somewhere.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh terrible.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
They suggest to look for pooling water in areas that
are susceptible to leaking, like your sink, your bathroom, check
your water meter. Oh god, there's nothing like getting that
phone call from the from the water company, or an
email that you have you know, weird water usage, or.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
If you open up under the sink to get something
and everything's wet.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
I hate doing plumbing because it gets really gross, really fast.
Shout out to all those plumbers out there. I don't
know how you do it, but I remember our water
main broke two days before my daughter was born. Oh God,
like literally we went to the hospital and I had
to go back and let some guys in to do
some work and spend two waters broke. Yes, my wife's
thank you for picking up on that. I mean, I

(26:05):
guess some would say it was good luck maybe, But
what it happened was the neighbors So we had a
leak and our water maine a slow one, and the
neighbor's tree sensed it and the roots came over over
time and just broke the whole thing. No, so that
wasn't thousands of dollars as I'm having a child.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Oh god.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
There was another time where there was a water leak
under the concrete in the garage.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Oh that's terrible.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I had to call this guy out of Valet who
who was amazing. You can look him up. He's called
the leak Doctor, and he had a machine that pinpointed
exactly where the leak was. He blew a hole in
the concrete, fixed it, patched it, and handed me a
bill for thirteen hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
You have a lot of water trauma. We have to
move on because there's like five thing on this list.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Sorry, I've been triggered.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
I can tell a buzzing from lights, if you any
sounds coming from your outlets or switches, all an electrician,
you don't want to take electricity lightly.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Now that's outside of my scope. Whistling or hissing noises
near gas base appliance is I think that goes without saying.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
There was a house we lived in in Houston and
I swore up and down to my husband. We had
a gas washer and dryer, and I said, I smell gas.
He's like you're crazy. And for the duration that we
live there, I'm like, I swear to you, I smelled gas.
When we sold that house and we did the home inspection,

(27:31):
they said, you have a gash.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
God, and I knew it.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Thank God you guys didn't fortunately blow up geez.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
But it's like trust us, no out it works.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
You hear a whistling or hissing noise near gas base appliances,
they recommend don't touch anything electrical. Get away from the
house as quickly as possible. Uh, dripping faucet sounds that
goes without saying yeah. And then gurgling toilets.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Your toilet shouldn't gurgle.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
If you have a gurgle, that means you said that
like it's a quote from a movie.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
It's not. It's just funny because it's like, if your
toilet's talking back to you, you've got big issues.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
It means you've got airflow problems. Anyway, that was fun
and awful at the same time.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Being an adult sucks.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
We're gonna God, we're not there yet. It's time for
good news with Marcus and Corey.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Sometimes all you need is one a good thought to
make it a great day.

Speaker 6 (28:30):
So let's do this.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
It's good news on Star.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Fun one three long, so we do good news twice
the morning. It's seven forty. Welcome everybody who's back in
the mix for drop off this morning. Yeah, headed to school,
Have a great day, and thank you for tuning in
every morning. Appreciate you. I do love a good Samaritan
story man. Yeah, this is a story of a Pittsburgh
police officer who went way above and beyond to help

(28:55):
a guy out who was stranded by buying him a
train ticket home. So this police officer gets a call
that there is someone being quote unruly at the train station. Okay,
turns out the guy was just deaf and stranded, and
he's from overseas, so he does not understand English, can't

(29:17):
hear yeah, doesn't speak English, and he was just probably panicking,
like freaking out. He was just trying to get to
New York from Pittsburgh and then eventually to Montreal. So
he the officer used what's called an ASL translator and
then set up a hotspot so the man could type

(29:38):
messages in French, had them translated to English, could not
contact the man's family, did not want to leave him stranded,
so the officer paid for a train ticket with his
own money, one hundred and thirteen dollars. That's so kind,
so the guy could reunite with his belongings in New York.
That is very kind. It's what the officer said that

(30:03):
got me. He said, quote, we're supposed to be good men,
and good men help other good men. Yeah, he doesn't
expect to see this man again, but he hope he
act inspires others to show kindness when they can.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
You know, you just people assume what's happening in someone's
life and you never know.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
You never know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Everybody needs a hand up sometimes. Anyway, I thought that
was a pretty cool story. Poor variety from the two thousands,
the nineties, and today it's Star one oh one three.
