Speaker 1 (00:00):
More variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one on one three, it's Marcus and Corey.
It's five fifty eight. Good morning everything. Hopefully the reception
is better this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah, that was a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
We literally had to unplug. We had to power cycle
the radio station yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Because tell people what that means, because I didn't know
what that meant.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
It literally means turn off your machine. Prin back on
your machine.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Right, that's ever people say when you go to like
the engineering department and so turn it off.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Did you power cycle your cpu? We literally had to
power down the radio station and turn it back on. Yep,
reset some things yesterday. So that's why if you woke
up and the reception was terrible, and thank you to
everybody that reached out. We do appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
No, thank you for that, and we're sorry for the inconvenience.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Hopefully we're back. How are you, Corey?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm good. Today's definitely got to be better than yesterday.
It was just a weird day yesterday. It was very strange,
like if it could go wrong, it went wrong, and
but not like in a detrimental way where I couldn't
get through my day. It was just weird. We tried
to order Irish food for Saint Patrick's Day and just like.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
How was the order messed up? You said the order
was just trashed.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, I ordered bangers and mash.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
There were no bangers or mash. It was just baked beans.
And I don't even think that's Irish, come to think
of it, I think that's British. That is British. But
our favorite Irish place was too busy. They weren't taking orders,
so we like, because we'll do the napper tandies and
they've got a nice shepherd's pay.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I got a call from the water company that there
was a constant flow of water up to the tune
of nine gallons an hour leaking out of my house somewhere,
but you don't know where, No idea. We checked the
cameras and somehow, magically, mystically, the outside hose just went on.
No idea.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So bizarre. And then we had that weird earthquake. I mean,
I guess earthquakes aren't really weird, but like, it's kind
of one of those situations where I look at my husband,
I go quick, kick in the couch. It's like I'm
not kicking the couch.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
There was a three point nine out of Dublin last night,
no damage, no injuries. No, it was like two seconds,
seconds and out. Anyway, today should be better.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It has to be.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It has to be. We have lots of stuff for
you to win this morning. Starting at seven thirty five
on the way next, we're gonna be talking about things
were just too old for I.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You know what, I love this stuff because I feel validated.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Tell you about it. Coming up at six twenty hang on,
we variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey.
We've been talking about things were too old for the
article I pulled up on BuzzFeed. Those obviously written by
younger people. They're not actually old. I think they just
want to tap out because a few of these things
are suspect.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I do agree with high heels. I haven't worn high
heels in a long time. And even if I say heels,
it's not even really heels. Its platforms because they hurt
and they do permanent damage to your feet.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There are cute shoes out there that aren't high heels, right,
you know, other things people say, either too old.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
For clothes that are uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It says, I dress for comfort. Now you know what
that translates to me, translates to I wear pajamas to Starbucks. See,
you can be comfortable and still be cute. There's plenty
of cute, comfortable clothes. I don't know the way. That's
the way that sentence is written. It says to me,
I'm tapping out. I don't want to try. I just
want to be comfortable.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I think it's both. You're definitely going to have that
younger end that says agree with you. I'm wearing a
PJS to the airport. I'm too old to stay up
past ten pm?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I'm saying that? Is it right here? Says it right here? No,
the twenty somethings are saying, I'm saying, dude, if you're already,
tap it out, like, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I stay up past ten on the weekends, and it's
very exciting.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I get I feel so naughty. The other day, I
stayed up till three am, shut the front door, and
I was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Who am I?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I won't stay up till three am necessarily I will
fall asleep on the couch and get up at three
am and go to bed.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Also, the same guy will fall asleep at eight twenty
six on family movie night. Yes, this one I do
agree with. I am too old to be sleeping on
pullout couches.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I can't do it when I go visit family. If
there's not something comfortable anymore, I like, listen, I love you.
I'm staying at a hotel.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yes, one hundred percent. Sorry, and shout out to all
the real ones who will give up their bed for
your comfort, Like my sister in law. Her and her
husband will relocate to their RV in the front yard
and let us take their bed.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
No one in my family would do that.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'd not be the most amazing. That is the most
selfless thing I think I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
That is incredible.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Somebody's saying they're too old for nightclubs. I mean, I
guess I really want to know how old the people
are that took this survey. You know, again, if you're
tapping out super early in life.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I heard that there's an eighties club somewhere here. I
desperately want to go, But the problem is, by the
time things are heating up.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I'm fall asleep. I'm saying, well into my thirties. I
was at the cat club in Soma on a Tuesday
doing karaoke.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I'm seeing my third so like two am. How's it
the end up? Oh boy, nothing bad happens. But you know,
you know, no, I was out with some girlfriends. He's like,
no bars open this late, and his coworkers are like,
the end.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Up is, oh wow, Corey. Yeah, I just learned something
about you. I'm looking at you different now. I didn't
do anything, all right, we have to shelve these and
do some more later. Okay, think about something that you're
just too old to deal with now. Staying longer than
I want might be my favorite. Ooh, that's a good
let's end with that one. It says pretending I'm having
a good time. When I'm not, I will go home
(05:35):
and go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
My husband is so good at that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He's a good ex. Leave hit us with a talkback
if you can think of something. It's a little red
microphone on the iHeartRadio app. If you're streaming Star one
on one three right now, it's Star one O one three.
It's Marcus and Corey. Good morning, everyone is Tuesday. Hi,
how your weekend went. But according to a self proclaimed
quote unquote party coach, party coach, all work and no
(05:58):
play isn't good for your health, so we should party
as part of our self care routine. This guy's name
is Evan and he does bill himself as the world's
first quote party coach. I would rather discuss his job
that he's given himself. Yeah, his niche that he's carved out.
He literally gets together with clients and helps them work
(06:19):
through a seven stage framework he calls the Party Within,
which is designed to help people build confidence and deepen
connections and create more meaningful social experiences through new habits
and rituals. The goal of his program, which he sells,
is for everyone to achieve their dream social life. Let's
(06:42):
just begin there with the credentials of our experts.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay. I think it's neat when you can just name
yourself something and run with it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Hey, man, if I'm getting paid, I'm doing it. What's
my special title of the director of Aloha?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
What's interesting to me is he references how many wellness
influences there are preaching about clean living and getting to
better early, and he's basically on the other end of
the spectrum, saying it's okay to get out there and
make new connections. He bought up the pandemic, like maybe
a lot of us were kind of in a social
rut during the pandemic. And he's saying it doesn't mean
(07:21):
that you should get sloppy, drunk and high every weekend.
He's talking about just as simple as being social and
care free, like going to concerts.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
As he I'm sorry, is he advocating for actual human interaction? Yes,
I see, I.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Know you're looking at me like that sounds awful for me.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
That might be a lot for some people.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It just depends. Like I went out this weekend right
and had a blast. It was great.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I'd love to do it every weekend. In fact, Friday night,
I decided to be a hermit last Friday, and my
child was at a girl Scout dance with my wife. Okay,
then they came home at like nine o'clock and she goes,
I'm surprised you didn't go karaoke camera. Yeah, no kidding,
I was too. Actually here's what I read. Okay, follow
(08:05):
me on this, because I don't think Evan, our party coach,
is too far off base. Because the people that live
in what they call the blue zones. These are the
parts of the world where people live the longest. The
number one thing for living longer is social interaction. Okay,
now to his point, the problem is most of us
couple hanging out and partying with like drinking and doing
(08:25):
other things, and you don't want to do that. That
can be destructive. But just getting together with people, yes,
for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I mean, I like my husband, so if it's just
the two of us, I'm fine. But sure, you know,
every once in a while, it's really fun to go
out with other people.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah. So again, I'll read you the headline, i'll work
and no play not good for your health. Just a
reminder to get out and be social. You don't have
to throw down, you don't have to get turnt, right,
but going out and hanging out with people irl in
real life is important.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'm gonna go set up my application for party coach.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
There you go on one three. It's Marcus A. Corey
eight forty seven.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Good morning. This is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's what's trending on Star one one three.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
What's happening in entertainment news. The biggest stories of the
day and everything people are talking about today in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Can I leave with the fact that after tomorrow the
weather is gonna be fabulous?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Well, Thursday is the first day of spring.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I know tomorrow we have about a forty percent chance
of rain throughout the Bay. However, today's going to be nice.
Tomorrow is gonna be potentially rainy, but then Thursday, through
the foreseeable future, it's going to be fantastic nice. FYI,
please continue.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
New York Knicks game last night was memorable for the
wrong reason. Tersey Morgan is a super fan and was
court side until he became the actual action of the game.
He caused a long delay after he threw up. Blood
was coming from his nose and he could barely stand
up well. He posted on Instagram a picture of himself
in the hospital and he says the doctors diagnosed him
(09:58):
with food poisoning.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I see him in the hospital. He looks fine, he's smiling.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I mean, he's already cracking joke because he's like the
Knicks one. If it takes me having to throw up
for them to win, I'll do it every game. Oh god, yeah,
please don't Swifties are buzzing after last night's iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Marcus is gonna give you the rundown on all of that.
But Taylor Swift appeared in a video to accept an
award for her Era's tour, and she wore a long
sleeved black sweater and a plaid mini skirt. But it
(10:25):
was her silver choker that turned heads. Because you know
she's the Easter Egg queen. She was wearing a serpent choker.
It was very subtle. Somebody had to like zoom in,
zoom in, and fans think that means reputation. Taylor's version
is coming soon. Everybody was talking about even Flavor. Flav
wrote something about it on social media.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
He's like, if you know, you know, it's not what
I would have grabbed from that I would have grabbed like,
maybe she's feeling choked by her relationship with Travis Kelcey.
Maybe she needs some time.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
They seem fine.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
See how the serpent chokes her out.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Wow, that's weird. You're weird. If you're a big fan
of Michael Jordan and you've got some money to spend,
there is a flaming hot cheeto shaped like the legendary
Jumpman logo up for auction. This is Golden Auctions and
the Crispy tribute to MJ has already surpassed the five
thousand dollars mark, but if history repeats itself, it can
(11:20):
fetch a lot more. It's just two weeks ago there
was a Pokemon character cheeto sold for eighty seven thousand dollars.
So you can get your Michael Jordan Cheeto until March
twenty ninth. It's Golden Auctions.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I need to know where it's at now.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Have you seen it?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
No, huh, not yet.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It's actually pretty accurate.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Well the Pokemon is too, Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, what are you gonna do with it? It's like
that banana that's sold for like a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Who knows? Yeah, I mean it's I mean, I say only,
but it's only at fifty six hundred bucks. I would
have thought it'd be way more. The Michael Jordan one
looking at it right now on Golden Auctions put by
bid in Hey. The iHeartRadio Music Awards were last night
on Fox, broadcasted live right here on Star one O
one three. Your boy Benson Boone won for Song of
(12:14):
the Year. He got on stage and thanks some people.
This is a crazy job.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
It is not what I was expecting to do with
my life, and every day is a new adventure. But
I think something that is really, really, really really important is.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Having someone that believes in me.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
And from the very beginning of doing radio interviews and
promo and coming to radio stations, Nyheart has believed in me,
and they have played my music and stream my songs. Truly,
it is incredible to feel believed in.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Basically, thanking you, Corey fos, I felt like that was
for me for spearheading his career. Totally shout out to
everybody that voted. That was a lot of fun. So
Taylor did win Artist of the Year, plus the You
Know Airs Tour aras Tour of the Century. Sabrina Carpenter
won Pop Artist of the Year and Pop Song of
the Year for Espresso. Uh I almost said Expresso and
(13:01):
had to go home. Yeah, got guy and Bruno Mars
won Best Collab for Died with a Smile, and then
Teddy Swims won for Best New Artist. As far as
performances went, Billie Eilish performed with her brother Phineas Bad
Bunny performed.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
He did, He went crowdsurfing.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's right. He won for best trust Fall.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
As he went backwards into the crowd, Nellie performed a
medley of his hits, went up to get his award,
and I think there was a mis cue.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
They cut to commercial before he could do his acceptance speak.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Ooops. See's and my favorite, Gracie Abrams. I adore her.
She got up and performed and had a few nice
words for the crowd.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
So much is uncertain and so suddenly and unnecessarily cool.
But when we gather like this at a concert or
a festival or the theater within our local communities, we
remind each other that there's still so much light and
kindness between and among us. So I just can't thank
you enough for spreading some of that light by gathering
us all here tonight.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Thank you, all of you.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
It's good to be in the room with all you guys.
Gracie Abrams, who was nominated for a breast New Artists
but she did perform last night. Can't wait till she
goes on to her big fan. You can catch the
iHeartRadio Music Awards if you missed an on demand on
Hulu right now. Jess, What's trending every weekday morning on
the fifties. That's at six fifty seven eight fifty am.
And connect now with the Marcus and Corey socials and
(14:17):
blogs that's at one O one three dot com were
variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's
Star one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey. Y'all
know what time it is? Second Date update time.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
We are trying to help you get a second date.
It's what it's called second date update. You win on
a first date, why can you not snag that second one?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Let's say good morning to Jessica. Hi, Jessica, good morning.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I love the way that you and David met. I mean,
let's just start right there. Let's talk about real life
and then I want to hear about the first date. Okay, okay, awesome.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Yeah, So I met David of all places, Trier Joe's
in line checking out. Oh, I know, it's like such
a meat cute right right. I was buying wine and
he was like asked me what kind of bottled I
was buying and wanted to know. And you know, it
could tell that it was a pickup line or just
(15:13):
the reason the chat. But it was adorable and we
chatted NonStop and very chemistry immediately, and so we exchanged
info for you know, ig and later he slid into
my DMS asked me out for coffee.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Excellent.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Yeah, so the date it was it was awesome. It's
like super casual, just like very comfortable. We both each
have dogs, so we bonded over that immediately. So that
was awesome. And that was two weeks ago. And right
now it's like weird because he's been acting so strange
since then.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, how so, like.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Okay, so like all I've thought about this so much,
you guys, but like before the date, we were chatting
on the daily regular alert, and now he's pretty much
disappeared complete ghosted me. Like a couple of messages here
and there, but not much. There's no talk of a
second date, which is shocking to.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Me because you're amazing, right, yeah, thank you. Right, it's
just weird. Here's what I'm thinking, Corey. Uh So she
said they met at Trader Joe. David grabbed some tubuck
chuck and it was turned turn he's poisoned by some
(16:28):
bad god.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Wow, that was benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Didn't he died?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I was sweet. Oh God, when you say poison, I'm like, oh,
and it's you, so of course I'm thinking the worst.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
You can be poisoned and live.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
He just doesn't want to talk on the phone right now.
I love it.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
I was just like completely giving him the benefit of
the doubt, and I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Mad at that. Yeah, well, let's figure it out. I'll
tell you what. Hang on the line. We're gonna play
us song and we will give David a shout ourselves
and you'll be able to hear him. But I'll have
you mute out your phone so we can't hear you. Okay,
we'll do it after this. It's Second Date Update Star
one on one three or variety from the two thousands,
the nineties, and today it's Star one oh one three.
It's Marcus and Corey and we're in the middle of
(17:17):
Second Date Update. Jessica was telling us about her meet cute.
She's a relatively new terminology, I believe, but she met
David in real time in line at Trader Joe's looking
at wines. Jessica, this is the most two thousand and
three thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Be actual human, Actually, kidd are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And then you guys went for coffee and now he's ghosted.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Huh bingo, bingo bingo.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Okay, let's call him and try to figure this out.
I don't want to waste any more time, so go
ahead and mute your phone. Let's ask him about the date. Okay,
ok here we go.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Hello, Hi, may you speak with David please? Hi David.
It's Marcus and Corey from Star one on one three.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Hey David, Hi, Hi, We do a radio show here
in San Francisco on iHeartRadio on Star one on one three.
I don't suppose you listen.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I'm not that familiar.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Okay, sorry, no problem. We are doing a segment on
our show it's called Second Date Update, and we got
sent your phone number by one of our listeners. You
guys apparently went on a date. She'd love to go
on another date, but I wanted to ask you about
your date with Jessica. Can we talk about it on
the air? Is that okay?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah? I guess, yeah, okay, all right, Sorry.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Sorry, you know I'm hitting you a lot. We're hitting
you with a lot at once. I apologize. How did
it go for you, Like she's feeling ghosted. So did
you ghost? I did?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, I guess I ghosted. Yeah, I got overwhelmed.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I thought the date.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
The date was really good. Our our dogs got together.
She was a really cute lab. I have this pitball,
and they just they really really liked each other. I
literally thought the date was good.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Okay, what happened? Did something happened? It's after the dates?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I think is that the date did go really well,
but that opened up the floodgates.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Do you mean?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
It sounds like every time she had a thought of
anything ever, she would send it to me, Like whether
it was a text or a video or a meme
or anything. It just like just kept getting just It
wasn't for much like communicating like hey, let's meet at
the scoffee shop? Okay too? Like meme meme, meme, meme video,
(19:57):
Hey thinking of you. If I a friend of IgE.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I feel like we all do well.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I mean, I'll have my messages on Instagram and I'll
be like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
God, so you're basically kind of getting weirdly spammed.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
It just feels like a lot like it feels like
this is what my friends who have been in relationships for.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
A long time too, right, like we yes, Matt.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
And also it's more than even what I would ever want,
even if I was like in like a real relationship
with them.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
So this is kind of like a turn off.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Got it to me?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Like being on my phone and doing stuff feels like
work to me?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I get that. I totally get that.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well, Okay, the other part of this is that Jessica
is actually listening, So I'd like to bring her on.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Jessica, this is insane.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Like you're the one that started.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
With sending me means and videos and' like responding.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
You know, I saw like like one video I sent
you like maybe maybe too, and then I've gone in
like two hundred back.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Oh what, oh my not that Okay, that's hyperbolic first
of all, but like you work in tech, so I
would imagine you're used to getting text like this.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
On the regular.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
It's literally how I communicate with my friends. I don't
see the problem here. I'm just being playful and chatting, right.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
I work in tech. All I do all day is
just stare at a screen all day long. Now I
have another person on slack, it feels like, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
But I'm not another person and somebody you're interested in
having a romantic relationship with potentially like you should be
invested in that and responding. And it's not a big deal.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
It's like fun.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
It's not work.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
It's play.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
It's playful.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I just don't have the bandwidth for this kind
of like play.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Oh it's not.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Okay, great, great, glad we cleared that up.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
B two Hang on please. Oh they're on two different
wavelengths totally. It's not working. Nope, all right. Second date
update seven oh five, weekday mornings. Your replace coming at
nine oh five. It's got a podcast is all always
on the iHeartRadio app. If you download the app, you
can subscribe and then set it as a preset. Why
not you can binge listen. There you go. More variety
(22:08):
from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's Star
one oh one three, It's Marcus and Corey seven to twenty.
Good morning. I don't know why I don't like this
topic as much as I should. I think it's because
it had to have a cutesy name.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, the guy who we're talking about, Bill Burke, founded
the Optimism Institute in twenty twenty two and This is
where this comes from.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Expert tips to find and hold on to realistic optimism.
I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Because so, okay, he wants to inspire people with a
hopeful vision of the world, and so he's sharing some
tips for realistic optimism as opposed to what toxic positivity
is that the other end of the spectory high in
the sky. You know, if it's not this, then it's
everything's broken.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Okay. I do like the points that he makes because
where everybody's having a rough go right now, nine out
of ten people are having a rough go right now.
So these are actionable items. Number one on this list.
I adore it says context counts. He encourages people to
read more history and put what we are going through
today into context. For example, no secret there's a lot
(23:13):
of division in this country. And then he says reading
about how divided we were, for example, during the Civil
War or during the Civil Rights movement might make things
happening today feel calmer by comparison.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Right, So, realistic optimism, okay, it makes sense to me
action over anxiety as a person who deals with anxiety
on the reg if something's really bothering you, thinking about
what you can do about it. Action can absorb anxiety.
So if you're sitting in your room and just steing,
that doesn't help anybody.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
So go do something.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And it says, if you want to make yourself happier,
make somebody else happier. And he's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That always works. That always works, makes somebody else smile, Yes,
works every time. Or help somebody out who's in need.
I'd like this one too a lot. Bend or break
your algorithm. What this means is like, if you just
sit there on social media and only look at and
watch what you like, then you will be continually fed
(24:07):
things that only you agree with and that you like.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Right every once.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
In a while, you know, go off the rails a
little bit. If you like to watch stuff or listen
to stuff that has one point of view, go listen
to the other point of view, just for a sec.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Just to kind of everybody comes from mind?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
How can I say about people? Argument? Everybody comes from somewhere?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Uh huh?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
And then another one on this list of realistic optimism,
look for the good. Try to catch people being good.
If you're looking for goodness, it's everywhere. And you say
this to me all the time because I watch a
lot of ID Network.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And can you explain the ID Network.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah, it's Investigation Discovery, so it's a member of the
Discovery family. And there shows like fear Thy Neighbor, Web
of Lies, all.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
The reasons to stay indoors.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
The killer next to me, Like, try to explain to Corey.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I don't know what the exact stat is, but the
majority of people, our default is trust. We are good people.
These networks make a living off of fear mongering on
what I believe to be ten percent of society.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
It's entertaining, though, it's really entertaining.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Why it's really funny for me for you to talk
about looking for the good people.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Because well, I'm trying to help. I didn't say I would.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Do as I say, not as I do.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
My husband said something about our neighbors last night, and
all I said was fear that neighbor. Fear.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Don't escalate, Jeff, don't ask the Yeah, exactly, all right,
So look for the good I do like all of
these realistic optimism, it's time for good news with Marcus
and Corey.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Good Sometimes all you need is one good thought to
make it a great day. So let's do this. It's
good news on Star Fun.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
So we give you good news twice in morning. Uh
Seve just trying to bring the goodness in the world.
I have to salute this team of ninth graders out
of New York. I believe Staten Island, but they won
a big time science Medical festival by designing an AI
powered buddy bot to help teens reduce social media use.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
This is so important and I love that teenagers are
helping teenagers.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
So they started with a study and a survey of
three hundred and fifty of their classmates. Sixty percent of
their classmates reporting that social media had negatively affected their
sleep and their mental health. I'm sure so. One of
the leaders in the group he'd been coding since he
was ten. Wow, programmed the chatbot to recognize over four
(26:45):
hundred keywords and respond with supportive messages. The crew believes
that using social media to counter out its own harmful
effects is the most effective approach, and they designed the
bot to be interactive and engaging. And I say it
all the time, the big tech companies do not care
about us. They do not care about our mental well being.
(27:05):
They want you to scroll, they want you to scroll.
They want to keep you on the platform. That's the
number one The number one goal is to keep you
on the platform. Anyway, these kids designed this buddy bot
to help their classmates out. With their eighteen hundred dollars prize,
they're going to develop a companion app called Media Mindful.
It's going to use incentive systems and rewards to encourage
(27:28):
healthier habits.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
This is all of it's great.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
The first test is going to be at the school.
They're going to offer pizza parties to the classes with
the lowest screen time scores.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
There you go, that age, I'll do anything for pizza.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
What do you mean it's that age?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Well, I mean like a pizza party. I remember at
my Catholic school, like every first Wednesday of the month
was pizza Day. Yeah, that was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
The great equalizer. I would do anything for pizza right now,
that's true. Okay, anyway, that's good news. Nice job kids.
