The Key To Confidence Is DIY
A new survey finds those who’ve finished DIY projects around the house say it boosts their confidence, happiness and satisfaction. 
  • For 86%, completing a home-related DIY task makes them feel accomplished and that feeling sticks around for six weeks afterward.
  • Seeing a friend succeed with a tricky household job gives 63% of those polled the guts to give a harder project a try.
  • But people know their limits and are afraid to take on intimidating DIY projects like installing flooring or carpeting (41%), caulking or sealing a tub (41%), repairing drywall (38%) or projects done by interior design pros (28%).That doesn’t stop the average person from hoping to finish three DIY projects by the end of the year, and an ambitious 20% hope to complete at least five.

Simple Skills That Make You Seem Much Smarter Than You Are
  • A post on AskReddit asks, “What skill makes people instantly assume you’re way smarter than you actually are?”
  • Thousands chimed in with the things that impress enough to make someone think you’re practically a genius, including “Learning a few words in a few different languages.”
  • “Knowing keyboard shortcuts and basic computer tricks,” and “Grammar” also help make you seem brilliant.⠀

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mendocino County's Finest. Sarah burrellis love her Brave Star one
oh one three. It's Marcus A. Corey straight up, six o'clock.
Good morning everyone.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I feel like I failed because I swear I got
a weather report that there was going to be drizzle
yesterday and it was hotter and haities.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Oh it was terrible. It was terrible.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I took a fan put it like at the highest level,
just pointed it right at me and my husbands, like
can we can we share that?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Or like no, It's like going over to the neighbor's
house when it is cold and the ladies got all
the windows open. I have to bring a jacket for dinner,
like literally a jacket, not even a dinner jacket.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Listen some of us, ladies.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
I get it, I get it. How are you good?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yesterday was very exciting. We did very adult things. We
had a dryer delivered. Hey, our dryer that we bought
when we moved into the first house. We're thinking we
got a really good deal on it, and we're thinking
it was reverbished and this one man, you only need
one cycle. Like other times we'd have to like run
the laundry like two or three times in the dryer.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
This be sure it wasn't just your venting.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
No, this one's like on it in it twenty So
my husband got a deal through his job, and we
think that it was not a brand new machine. M okay,
because this one's really great.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Okay, well good? Did you get a selfie with it?
That's the most adult thing you can do is buy
an appliance and take a selfie with it.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Never in a million years did I think to take
a selfie with my dryer.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh man. The first one I bought was a stack
of washer dryer in two thousand and three, and boy
did I I lined up and took a selfie with it.
I was so so adult that day. Wow wow. Okay,
what kicks off today? Okay? So this morning I was
thinking the volleyball season officially has begun. Okay, we're officially
on the road today. I live in half Moon Bay.

(02:02):
Games in Redwood City four pm. And I don't know
how do people do dinner? What do you mean when
you got to be on the road. And I'm not
independently wealthy, so I can't take my family out to
eat every time there's a game. I guess I gotta
have something lined up before I leave for the game.
I can't be cooking at like six o'clock at night.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Because so can you?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Like, if Jeff wasn't there, I'd fend for myself. Can
they just fend for themselves?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
No, we're all going to be at the game.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh, you're all going to be the game.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
My options are. My options are go to the game
because I want to go to the game and represent,
or stay home and cook dinner and wait for them
to get home. But then I miss out on my
kid playing sports, and I don't like that at all.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
No, I don't like that either.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
That's what I'm saying. I can't do that. Pizza is
not as cheap as you think it is anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well, I mean, like a boboli, make it yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I see what you're saying. I think what I'm gonna
do is I'm gonna do some spam musab's. That's that
spam with the rice rolled up in the in the seaweed.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Bubblely comes with its own sauce now, and it's pretty
good and easy.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I need some tips, if anybody's got a tip you
got you got a kid in sports and you know
what I'm talking about. You don't want to go out
to eat every single time. There's no you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's too expensive.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
A talkback would be neat that little red microphone on
the iHeartRadio app. I'm new at this sports dad thing.
All right, Coming up this morning, we have more chances
for you to get the gift cards for Dave and
Buster's and flexts your trivia knowledge coming up at eight
oh five. And on the way next, science has discovered
something you can do at home that is the key
to confidence. Oh, we'll tell you about it at six fifteen.

(03:41):
Hang on bruin five star, one on one, three more
variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today It's
Marcus and Corey. Good morning, It's Tuesday, Tuesday. According to
a gigantic survey DIY projects, eighty three percent of people
say this is the best way to boost confidence in yourself.
Yourself okay, And it's just such a tricky thing for me.

(04:03):
Some guys are handier than others. Enter Corey's husband, the Jeff,
who just does they for fun?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well, yeah, during the pandemic, he was still working like
he was doing his job. But he I mean, we
took all the carpet out of our house. Who put
in hardwood floors? He did wain scouting.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't even know what that is.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's when you see.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Panels on the wall, like the add texture to the wall. Huh,
new light fixtures. Oh.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
We could go on and on and on.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
But it was. It was really impressive.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
And also what was great about it is I can
see why we build confidence because it saved us money.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yes, he did it himself. That's the number one reason
I would do it. Number two is build confidence. But
I will tell you every time I fix something, no
matter how small it is, I always go upstairs and
parade around until somebody notices I'm such a peacock. It's terrible.
Your peacock is most guys just do it and then
they're done. That's just what they do. That's just I
have to have applause.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
You need a parade.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Jeff's mad at me right now because I made the
mistake of mentioning that I'd like to redo the floors
and an downstairs in law those two years ago, and
he's just like, are we doing this? First of all,
I have I have very limited funds. But then also
I realized, and who else gets into this trick bag
when you're doing DIY. In order to redo the floors,
I have to move the cabinets. In order to move

(05:23):
the cabinets, my wife wants me to blow out a wall.
In order to blow out the wall, we have to
relocate the water heater. In order to relocate the water heater,
I got to clean out the garage a mess. I
know that's the problem. And every time he sees me,
he's like, so we were doing these floors.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well does he know all that?

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I told him all the details.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
He's waiting on me. See Jeff would have already done
all that. Yeah, he would have already just would have
just strapped in and got it done. I'm not him.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
You should see him, chop would That's a that's an
entire experience.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
On shirt off? Tell me more?

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Uh, shirt on?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
For safety reasons only for safety, I mean, unless there's
a photo shoot. I think the other key is knowing
your scope. Yes, so there are there's certain plumbing that
I will get into. I just replaced the faucet in
the in law. I felt very accomplished. My I think
one of my biggest and this is so dumb. If

(06:19):
anybody who is handy at all, I'm going to tell
you my one of my greatest accomplishments and you're gonna
go so but I removed and replaced all of the
innards in a toilet tank.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
That's pretty good. I mean, that's that's nothing to sneeze. Act.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
I literally had to take the tank off the base.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Because I think that the confidence is as long as
you're not overly confident, because like Jeff will do things
that are within his wheelhouse, but we need all new
wiring in the house.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
He's not doing that.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
You know, as long as you know your limitations, that's
going to build your confidence as opposed to trying something
and then having to call somebody to fix it.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
My favorite part about the toilet tank story is then
an hour after the toilet tank story, I was interviewing Coldplay,
and I'm sitting across from Chris Martin, and all I
could think about was how awesome I did with the toilet.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Did you tell him?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
I did? And he was like, well, I'm glad that
this day could be marked by me and a toilet.
He was funny.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
At any rate, I would have probably kept that to myself.
I'm of all the things to talk about with Chris Martin.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Are you handy at all? Corey?

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I am.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
I'm Actually before I met the Jeff, I lived by
myself and my mom was like, every woman should have
a toolbox.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, with the essentials in there. You need your pliers,
need your hammer.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
You know. It's like, I don't have to do it
now because Jeff does it, but if I had.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
To, I could. I could with it with a toolbox
and YouTube the great equalizer.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
That's the thing nowadays. You can always look up a video.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah. My wife's dad is a mechanic. Best belief, she
has her own toolbox. Yeah, it was impressive. She brought
it into the relationship and I was like, okay, yeah,
married the right lady.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I mean, my toolbox isn't as big as jobs.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
But right, who's nobody's is? Oh, that joke just keeps
writing itself. The only other end I'll close with this,
The only other thing that you have to think about
is if you're like me, you take the project on yourself,
it takes you four months instead of two hours, and

(08:23):
then you don't do it exactly right, and the missus
walks by and goes, should I hire somebody?

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
The last words you want to hear? Yeah, all right,
more variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one O one three, It's Marcus and Corey
Tuesday morning, Good morning, Hello. We're about to promote pseudo intelligence.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
As a Reddit post has said, what skills make people
instantly assume you're smarter than you actually are. Pseudo intelligence
is like fake smarts.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Fake smarts.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Okay. For example, somebody wrote, you learn a few words
in a different language, or a few different languages, it
makes you seem smarter than you might be.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Oh interesting, I.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Learned a couple of songs in Spanish to singing karaoke
makes me sing exotic and mysterious.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
According to me. Okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Somebody else wrote, people assume that because I write poetry,
I'm really emotionally intelligent. I write poetry to keep me
from crashing out and doing something crazy. What so it's
an outlet according to this person.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
I mean, poetry is definitely something that it's an art form,
but not necessarily one that everybody might enjoy, depending on
what your artisttive art.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Knowing the rules of chess, okay, apparently that makes you
sound smart.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I used to. I don't remember anymore.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
I played in high school. Oh you did?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
I have trophies Bobby Fisher up in here.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I was the president of the chess club. Oh, I
could go on. Don't If you know keyboard shortcuts and
basic computer tricks, it makes you seem smarter than you
might be.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
That is an area where I definitely feel dumb when
our it department has to come in here and they're like,
did you turn it off and back on again?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
I am always really impressed. And my daughter does this.
She's eleven. She's like, Dad, She'll grab my phone, just
do this, Pa pa, Pa, pa Papa. I'm like, oh, oh,
sure this one. I don't know. Does typing fast without
looking at the keyboard make you seem smart? Can't everybody
do that? Now? I don't know? Or am I crazy?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
I mean, I have my own little system.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
I don't do it the way I was taught in
high school to do it, but I don't have to look.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
At the keyboard.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Somebody else wrote being able to build computers Corey. It's
actually very simple, but a lot of people don't know that.
My God, my neighbors are across the street, I don't know.
One of them is like sixteen, the other one's fourteen.
Built their own computers. In my head, I think they're geniuses.
But now you're telling me it's simple. How is it
like building ikea furniture? I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
It can't be.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Do I sound dumb asking these questions? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'm in the same boat as you were. DJs.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Have a good posture, makes you seem smart. I do
like that.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
I will say in this day and age we live
in now where everybody's looking at their phone by automatically
judging you if you almost run into me because you're
darren at your phone.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Having good grammar. It's the difference between saying let's eat
Grandma and let's eat grandma.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, commas are very important.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Commas saved lives along the lines of knowing how to
work your computer shortcuts basic IT skills. That's for real,
that's helpful. Uh huh, I love this one. I'm gonna
close with this one. Someone route I managed to fool
every human being I've ever run into thinking I'm a
genius solely because I have a good memory, Like you
remember the name, if you remember their name, remember what

(11:31):
you talked about, remember your last interaction. Yeah, it's pretty
powerful when you remember somebody's name.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Here's a little trick I do when I when I
run into someone I've met before, but I can't remember
the name, Like did you change your hair? Because nine
times out of ten they did for the last time
I saw them.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Then you get them to say their name again.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
No, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Oh, your hair looks amazing. Yeah, right, if you got
something to add again, these are little things to make
you seem smarter than you might be. Hit us with
a talkback on the iHeartRadio IP. It's that little red microphone.
If you're streaming Star one on one three right now,
this is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
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 g Hadded revealed in
her Vogue cover story that she auditioned a play Rapunzel
in Disney's live action Tangled. Now this has not been
on my radar, but I wish it was because I

(12:29):
love Tangled. That's one of my favorite Disney movies. She
took singing lessons, and I guess the movie's production has
stalled out. There was another guy who auditioned for Flynn
Ryder and he said, I deleted my audition and then
I burnt it, and then I burnt the phone that.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I filmed it on.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Now tell me you're a sensitive theater type.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
The animated film starred Mandy Moore as her Punzel, and
they had an Oscar nominated song, a short film spinoff,
and a TV series.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Now we've got Moana.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
That's hitting July tenth next year, but no word on
whether or not they're gonna finish Tangled. Saturday Night Live
is gearing up for season fifty one with his cast
change is finalized. We know that Heidi Gardner is leaving,
but Michael Jay is staying. He had hinted about leaving,
but he's going to be at the weekend update desk
alongside Colin Jost. The show's eighteen person cast now includes

(13:22):
Keenan Thompson, Bowen Yang, Ego Nuatum, plus a few new
players that will be back on NBC October fourth, and
a trailer for the highly anticipated third Knives Out movie,
Wake Up, dead Man and Knives Out Mystery Is Out.
Daniel Craig is back as the eccentric detective who attempts
to get to the bottom what is described as the

(13:42):
impossible crime, the murder of a priest in the middle.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Of a church service.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
I wish I could remember if I've seen any of
those movies. I have to assume I have.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
They're great.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
I watched the first two and it's gonna be directed
by Ryan Johnson. It's gonna star Kerrie Washington, Meela Cunis,
Jeremy Renner, Glenn Close. Okay, always good casts. This is
going to be on Netflix December twelfth.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
One of the biggest stories that had been brewing and
then it popped off this morning is about a lady
who has been termed Phillies Karen the Karen. So this
was at the Phillies Marlin's baseball game when a lady
basically stole a home run ball from a little kid.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
I have to assume that she was under the influence,
I have to write, because if she's not, she's just
a terrible person.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
So just imagine you're in the outfield, here comes the
home run ball. It's in your section, it's right next
to you, but you don't react fast enough. A guy
walked over and plucked it. Some reporters are saying he
actually caught the ball. Then he walks back over to
a section gives it to his son. It's a very
touching moment. The lady comes over, grabs him physically, yes,
gets right in his face, claiming that he stole the

(14:52):
ball from her, and refuses to leave it until he
basically was like, I don't want this hassle, and he
gets it to and says.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Whatever, Yeah, it's not worth it.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
He literally by feleishes her on camera. Well, she walks
back to her seat. People are yelling at her, She
gets to into another fan's face, jaws at him, and
then flips off the entire section.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
It's awful. It's just awful.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
In response, the Marlins gave the boy a gift bag,
the Phillies arranged for him to get signed memorabilia and
meet and greet with some players, and then a third
party businessman stepped in offered the family world series tickets
and even an RV for the journey.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Oh that's nice.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Meanwhile, a separate company has publicly offered the woman five
thousand dollars for the ball with one catch. She has
to sign it and then give a public apology.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I don't know if she would do that. I'm sure
she doesn't want to be in the news anymore.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
And then, and then then then the internet took over
and started claiming that she worked for the public school system.
That was false. False, started claiming that she lost her job,
that was false. I would not want to be that
lady right now.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
You know, you just have to realize cameras are everywhere,
someone is filming you.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I have to remind myself sometimes because sometimes, you know,
you get in your feelings. Yeah, now you're on the road,
you're in traffic, somebody does something dumb all of a sudden,
it escalates in your head. And to Corey's point, you
just have to remember just be a good person even
when nobody's watching.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
This is why I didn't become a serial killer. You
just can't get away with it.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Now. That took a turn, didn't it. Not only is
it National Teddy Bear Day, shout out to everyone who's
still got their stuff. Teddy Bears is full grown adults.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I still have a stuff Teddy Bear. It's not on
my bed.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Shout out to my guy Hampton, my wife's gun to bear,
given to her by an ex boyfriend decades ago, still
with us, so weird. I treat him as if he's
my own. Also, care Bears share your care Day observed annually. Basically,
this is just a nod to giving and volunteerism because
the care Bears were so good. Just a reminder to

(17:03):
be a good person, pay it forward, do something nice
for somebody, volunteer for something. And then we're leading this
into a poll on the Star one on one three
FM Instagram.

bright hearted bear? Are you fun? Are you lucky? What

dating world? Why are you not getting that second date?
We want to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Let's bring on Eric, Eric.

Speaker 6 (18:02):
Hello, Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Man? So I'm reading here. Both love dogs.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Which, so you got to tell everybody what you did
for your first day because it feels like Corey's dream. Yes.
First of all, well, first of all, if you were
how did you guys meet?

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (18:21):
I met Paloma on Match, the dating site, okay, and yeah,
we both have dogs and we both love our dogs
like there are our best friends.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
And so when we were.

Speaker 6 (18:32):
Talking about where to meet up, we decided to meet
at a dog park in San Mateo. And I mean
it was playful, it was fun. I mean, Poloma's dog
seemed to really like me. And then we talked and
hung out and then afterwards, I just I haven't heard back.
I was like, hey, I'd like to go out with
you again, and I haven't heard anything back from her.

(18:53):
I was hoping you, right, So I was hoping you
guys could help me out with that.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
All right, Corey, what do you think?

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Well, thinking that she ended up going to Harvard Law School.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Uh, and she's currently there studying to be a lawyer,
but no one takes her seriously because of her hair color.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
So she's having a hard time.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
That's why she's not calling him back. Yeah, that is
a stretch, is.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
It compared to all the other ones we do?

Speaker 1 (19:25):
I mean, at least those have been plausible.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
This No, she and she wants everybody to read her
with respect and and and she's a responsible.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Why isn't she calling Eric back?

Speaker 2 (19:37):
She's at school, she's studying to be a lawyer, she's busy.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
They don't have fun. I'm gonna stop all right, I
don't know. Eric doesn't sound plausible to me. Let's call her.
Let's call her and get the real deal. Can you
hang on the line and we'll play a song. We'll
get it done. Is that cool?

Speaker 5 (19:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Sounds good? All right, great, I'm gonna call pull on
the next It's second Date Update, Star one on one three,
more variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey.
We're doing Second Date Update. Right now, we've got Eric
on the phone. Key and Paloma meant on match and
then they love dogs, so they took their dogs to
a dog park in Samitteo.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
It's a great first date and it.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Was fun and her dog seemed to dig him. But
she ghosted. So let's figure this out. Eric, when stay
on mute, don't say anything. Let's give her a call
and see what's up. Everybody crossed their fingers for a
second date. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Hello, Hi, may I speak with Poloma? Please?

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (20:43):
It's Marcus and Corey from Star one on one three.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Hello.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Hello like the radio?

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yes? Yes? Do you listen to our show?

Speaker 4 (20:53):
No?

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Okah, guess it's okay. That's no bigs. That were a
delightful right, So hey, I wonder if you might have
a sec to be on the air with us only
because we're doing a segment called second Date Update and
it involves getting your phone number from a listener who
went on a date with you, who would like to

(21:15):
take you out again, but he's feeling ghosted. So we're
just trying to figure out. I'll just say it, what
did Eric do wrong? Because I heard you guys went
to a dog park and that kind of juiced me
up a little bit. I'm not gonna lie. So what happened?

Speaker 4 (21:30):
So funny? I'll know this, okay, sorry, I yeah, okay.
We went to the dog park. Yeah, that was our
first date, right, and she was I don't know, it
was like he was a dog. She was like competing
with the dogs and like trying to like run faster

(21:54):
and like get to the ball faster. He was like
running around the hole. He was like making a commotion.
It was like I brought I don't know, a kid
or another dog to the.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Dog was playing fetch with you, like as the only Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, I was like throwing the ball for the dogs,
and he was like running with the dogs and was
like celebrating when he was better than a dog.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
I mean, isn't that technically a guy who's all in
or what?

Speaker 2 (22:21):
I don't know. I don't know how. I appreciate this
a lot. Okay, I can see that being all right
a bit much.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Are you gonna tell her or am I gonna tell
I'll tell her.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
So Puleima Eric is actually on the phone with us.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
We don't mean to sneak up on you. He digs
you a lot.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
Say hello, apparently.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Hello. I am so sorry.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
I didn't know I was being so overstimulating. Honestly, part
of it was that I was nervous and I just
had like all of this like crazy nervous energy and
stuff like that. And then like after all of the
dog activity, I was like a little bit more relaxed,
but like I was not trying to overdo it and
freak you out.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I'm so so sorry.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
Oh, it's just nervous and all of all of the things.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I get that.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Now we're just a room full of overdoers. I'm gonna
have to go home and apologize to my wife, tell
her I didn't mean to overstimulate. I've never heard phrase
that way, but it makes you just describe my home life. Dad,
you're show I ended at ten kidding. Well, back to
you guys. I feel like we might be able to
salvage this. Am I crazy? I hope to Poloma. If

(23:37):
Eric dials it back a little bit, Eric, are you listening?
If Eric dials it back a little bit, can we
get a second date? What do you think?

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Okay, I mean, I'm not gonna lie like calling the
radio is still alive, but I appreciate the effort and yeah,
if we can just kind of, you know, maybe do
a day without the dogs, like get a little calming
human energy going on, maybe we can try it again.

Speaker 6 (24:07):
Yes, we can go for like like like a little
walk and.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Eric, Eric, from one drama king to another. Just just
tone it down. Read the room. Oh hold on, we're
celebrating the cow bell of destiny has been wrong. I
love that. This is what this is what happens when
we bring people together and it's that's a little dustin.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Gosh, this is so funny saying there's a gance.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
This is exciting you guys. All Right, we're gonna leave
you to it. Keep us posted, please, and and and
send a selfie if you tag us up if you
get an opportunity.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Oh my god, adorable. Hang on, Eric, text me later.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
So cute.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Anyway. Second date update seven oh five weekday mornings. That
worked out. It did amazing.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
We replace it at nine oh five of course if
you missed it. And then we have the podcast that'll
be up there too on the iHeartRadio app or really
wherever you get your podcasts. Look from Marcus and Corey's
second data update for variety from the two thousands, the nineties,
and today. It's Star one on one three, it's Marcus
and Corey. It's seven twenty. Time for a little self
of betterment? You ready?

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (25:16):
These hobbies will make you happier and smarter, according to
according to people, okay them, they study, they did, yeah,
study yeah. And one of these things is something I
do all the time, and it's exhausting. I think it
makes me an exhausting individual. But let's go through the
other ones.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
I don't see karaoke on this list.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
It's not it's not. So painting or drawing will make
you happier and smarter. I agree with that because I
think when you're doing that, it allows you to kind
of stop and smell the roses and look around and
appreciate the beauty and then capture the beauty. Am I right?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
I enjoy doing a creative project.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
I remember when year for my husband's birthday, it was
during COVID, so I made him.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
It wasn't even really a card.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
I took a bunch of pictures of us and made
like a montage.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
And it's just it's satisfying.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Here's me and my guy, and here you go, my guy.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, this is us. Yeah, there's thought put into it.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Something else that will make you happier and smarter. Learning
to play an instrument.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
I felt that way when I was at the symphony
this weekend, just watching these musicians and how talented they are, and.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
I was like, would I want to play the cello?
What I want to play?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Not of Island, definitely, maybe a cello at the drums,
And it was just it was just watching someone play
an instrument so magical.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
I used to think just being able to sing was cool,
and it is until you transcends to karaoke. Now it's
no longer cool necessarily. And then I thought, it's basically,
I'm basically in a band, but you're not.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
You're not.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's not the same thing.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
It's not.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Once you learn how to play the guitar or the piano,
there you go. It's amazing. Gardening will make you happier
and smarter.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
My mother had the greenest of thumbs. I don't know
what happened.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
When you can grow stuff and nurture something to full maturity.
My neighbor across the street is always bringing over tomatoes
and lemons and always talking about how much he obsesses
over these twelve different garlic types.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
It's what it's work. You got to do your research.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
The one that I find exhausting but I'm really good
at is improv theater. And I'm speaking to my fellow
theater nerd community. You know you're exhausting. You are always
the bell of the ball, and if people aren't paying
attention to you, if you bust out and do something,
somebody at me, please fight me.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
On this about improv.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
And you have an acting degree, Cory, I have a
degree in acting. I literally have a Bachelor of Arts.
And the thing is, though now I don't find that
need to I have a morning show. I need to
entertain all the time, so I don't need to do
it in other areas right now. If I found myself
anywhere near improv, I would just shout out the most
inappropriate suggestions possible. If somebody on stage says, give us

(28:08):
a scenario, it's not gonna be safe for work. Okay,
can you give me an example on the flyer shit,
I move on.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
I can't Anything that's kind of mine right now is
not something I got.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Anything tell me out at Corey's mouth is not going
to be appropriate.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Pineapple.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm an improv guy, and I'm insatiable. My best friend
calls me the fastest land animal to a microphone.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
That's I mean, that's an understatement.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
I mean, I've never met a guy who has his
own morning show who will go on other shows later
in the day. You will find other radio shows and
call in on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I almost called into a different radio show to discuss
forty nine or football.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
No, they stop.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
I got through when the guy was like, sorry, dude,
it's gonna be a twenty minute hold, and I said,
I want to hang up my wife. You have your
own radio show. What are you doing? All right? We
have to move on.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
When I go home, I don't want to talk to anybody.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
I leave this job, go do a fundraising gig on stage,
and then go do karaoke. Oh my god, see exhausting. Yes,
all right. The last two hobbies that will make you
happier and smarter creative writing, especially if you're one of
those people that figuratively put the pen down years ago

(29:20):
because you ran out of time. Pick it back up again,
get back into it. I like make you happy.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
I like to write.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
And then cooking.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
I don't like to cook.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Gives me a lot of joy. It's basically art. The
pot is my canvas and the ingredients are my paint brushes.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
I suck myself out of it. I'm like I get
overwhelmed by recipes.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Sure you have Jeff who enjoys it, your husband, Yes,
so you're like you default and yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
I'm the eater exactly, he's the cooker.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Exactly. We all need an eater. Can't be a cooker
without an eater. You are essential. You're an essential employee,
all right? Seven twenty four. Give me something else that
you have that you feel makes you smarter and happier.
Maybe it's sudoku. I don't know, but hit us up
with a talkback if you don't mind. It's the little
red microphone on the iHeartRadio app. Would love to hear

(30:12):
from you. It's time for good News with Marcus and Corey.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Good Sometimes all you need is one a good thought
to make it a great day. So let's do this.
It's good News on Star one one.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
So good news happens twice a morning. Seven forty. Good
morning to everybody piled in their car for drop off
this morning. Have a fantastic day at school or a
work or whatever you're doing. We appreciate you being part
of the commercial free morning commute good News powered by
shre Even Company, Luxury time Pieces, fine designers and Flawless Diamonds.
I am in love with this story. Yeah, speaking of

(30:50):
luxury time pieces, this is a couple in New York
City in their eighties who fought back on scammers that
we're trying to steal the husband's rolex. Oh no, and
they picked the wrong people. They affed around and found
out and I'll tell you why. So this is Larry

(31:11):
and his wife Joanna, who are in Manhattan, approached outside
their Senior Center by a man who asked for directions
to Walmart. Okay, now, the gentleman, Larry is eighty seven
years old. He explained to the man that there all
are no Walmart's in Manhattan, and then a woman in
an suv motioned them over. She tried to distract Larry

(31:33):
by kissing his hand, tried to trick him into swapping
his rolex for a watch. He immediately identified it as
a fake, and when she grabbed his wrist, that's where
she messed up. Because Larry is a former Air Force
veteran and former boxer at eighty seven years old, she
grabs his wrist, he pulls her towards him, causing her

(31:54):
to hit the inside of the car. Realizing they were
not easy marks, the male suspect jumped back into the suv,
sped away with the woman, and left the Schwartzes holding
both watches.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Oh okay, bonus watch.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
He was hardly phased by the encounter, saying he was
quote raised on the streets and ready to fight scammers
at all times, so he was like protecting his lady.
I'm imagining your husband at ninety years old, just being like, hey,
holding my walker. You want to die today? You know

(32:34):
how much? I just really hate it when people pick
on senior citizens.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
I hate when scammers trying to take advantage of the
elderly worst.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
But Larry wasn't having it. Nope. More variety from the
two thousands, the nineties, and today at Star one on
one three, It's Marcus and Corey time to play the
bass favorite trivia games called what You Know About That?

a man in Canada arrest for driving a Barbie Jeep
through traffic.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
The visual in my head this is.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
A child size pink Barbie Jeep driving it through town.
He said he was too lazy to go down to
the corner store and decided to borrow his roommate's child's
toy car instead of walking to get a slurpee.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
That's not even his kids.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
He was driving about three miles an hour near the curb,
appeared to be doing it safely. Police pulled him over
anyway because they received multiple calls and discovered that he
had a suspended license and was drunk.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Oh my god, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Sorry rights itself.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
I wish there was a video.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
They charged him with a DUI.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Of course, it's a motorized.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Vehicle, right Vegan a Barbie car at stut count three
miles an hour.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
That counts. He's disputing the ticket. He didn't know he
was breaking the law by driving a motorized toy on
public roads. He leaves out the part where he was drunk.
