The New Cutesy Term Is "Productivity Theater."
With remote work, a confusing economy, and the rise of productivity-tracking software, this age-old practice has taken on a new level of complexity. As tech has enabled employers to track work down to the level of a mouse click, employees have responded by prioritizing visible work over important tasks or even deploying their own tech to fool the system. It’s a zero-sum game that nobody wins. Here’s why productivity theater is growing and what to do about it.
Youngins' Let Us Know When We Are Old
A Listener Asks For Help Because Someone Is Stealing Her Lunch At Work
Carla in San Jose writes: I’ve been noticing that the meals I bring from home keep disappearing from the office fridge. I spend hours cooking big batches of food so I can pack healthy lunches for the week, and more than once, my labeled container has just vanished. I’m pretty sure I know who’s doing it, but I don’t want to stir up office drama or make things weird with our small team. Still, this is happening over and over, and I’m sick of it. Do I confront the person directly, leave a note, or bring it up with my boss?
Second Date Update
Mark said he met Vanessa online and their coffee date felt relaxed and easy. They sipped lattes, talked about work, and even walked the pier. He thought it was the start of something. She ghosted, and he wanted to know why.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the most Taylor swift day ever.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Oh my gosh it so is.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Album dropped last night? What is it called?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Are you kidding? The Life of a show Girl?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I get confused with the title of the movie. I
don't want to blow it. The movie's called the Official
Release Party of a show Girl for the Life of
a show Girl, and it's going on all weekend. Sorry,
because then my brain is jubled because now I'm looking
ahead at our music and we're going to be playing
tracks every hour starting at eight o'clock, and the song
(00:30):
that we're playing at eight thirty is going to be
called the Fate of Ophelia. So my brain was too
full of words.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
That's the first single, and we played the entire album
last night when it dropped.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
That's right. So if you missed out and you've got
Swifties in your life or in the car, about eight
thirty this morning with the first one, then nine thirty
and ten thirty, et cetera. Six How are you, Corey?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Good?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yes, Friday, Happy Friday. Very productive. I worked out. I
replanted some plants that needed to get some bigger pots.
I don't have a green thumb, so I'm just hoping
for the best.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
M hmm, it seemed like it went well all right.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I took a big nap sure after going to Benson
Boone the night before, and then I got up and
it was my buddy's birthday, so I went down and
watched the Niner game at Cameron's. What a nail bier.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I can't do those, man, I have anxiety.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
They ended up winning on an overtime field goal.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What Danny.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
University of Florida Gator Danny Danny? No, Eddie Eddie Sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I don't know, Eddie de Naro Pinero Eddie money so good?
What else is going on today? Speaking of the release
party of a showgirl that's going on tomorrow here in
the city, we have a last minute pair of tickets
to join us. We'll be hosting, yes, that particular screening,
so make sure you're listening to win coming up about
(01:57):
seven thirty five on the way next twenty twenty five.
Another QUTS term for the workplace. Oh boy, something called
productivity theater? What is it? How do you avoid it?
How do you prevent it? How do you recognize it?
Fascinated me?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I read an arty.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
We'll talk about it at six fifteen a variety from
the two thousands, the nineties, and today at Star one
on one three it's Marcus and Corey. I heard a workplace. Well,
it's jargon that fascinated me and never heard of it before.
Productivity theater is on the rise, and it seems out control.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, it's ounding control, but it also seems unnecessary.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It literally means the art of looking busy. Back back
in the day, you'll just be like, hey, the boss
is in. Today, let's look busy. And people are spending
more energy utilizing technology to make them look busy, especially
if they work remotely, than the energy that they use
to do their own jobs. For example, companies can track
whether or not your screen is sleeping even if you
(02:57):
work remotely. Companies can track whether your mouse is moving
around remotely, I believe it. And so they have technology
that will keep your screen on. They have technology that
will keep your mouth moving around even when you're sleeping.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Can you turn your camera off? Can they turn it
back on?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I don't know that, I'm sure, I'm sure. I mean
the way technology is, they could dip into your machine
while you're on it and see if you're playing warcraft
or not.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
You know, oh yeah, I didn't do anything like that
on my work laptop.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I did download Balder's Gate on a work laptop at home,
but I but I didn't play it while I'm supposed
to be working. I just needed a PC.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I guess they're still gonna know, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
At some point what they're saying is the best way
to kind of avoid this, like say, for example, if
you're a manager, is not to focus on whether your
employee is working, but what their output is.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
That's my whole speculation on this is because I don't
know why people fake doing their jobs. Because you have
to do your job. You eventually have to produce something, so.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Right, but intel then I'm gonna put in minimum effort
till they can actually figure out that I'm not doing
my job.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You're gonna get fired. Why are you doing this community
theater at your workplace? Just do your job.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
There are some people that can bounce job to job
year and a half two years, and I think that's
how long it takes for the company to figure out
whether or not you're effective.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
So you just bounce, or you get what you need
to get done, and your work there is done and
you want a new challenge.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't think we could be performative in this job,
like as far as working but not really doing anything.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I don't know how we would do that because there's
things we have to do. And I can't fake uploading
the podcasts. I can't fake doing the trivia.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Question, right, I can't fake editing audio.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I can't fake talking unless you and I are AI?
Are you AI?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
No? No? Are you?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Marcus? Tell me something only Marcus would know.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
This concept, though, is crazy to you just avoided the question.
Productivity theater officially out of control at work.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It's basically the plot behind office space.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh yeah, I mean, what does he admit?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
He gets in there and he flips around for like
fifteen minutes playing warcraft. He's, you know, eating cheetos and
deboning a fish at his desk.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Those are the people that would drive me crazy, the
people that could somehow smash two or three hours of
work into an eight hour day.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I had a coworker like that back in the day.
He literally he just walked around and drank coffee.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Peter.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
That's happening there. You go. Be on the lookout for it.
Productivity theater.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
What they basically say is if you have a good
office culture. This is how you avoid it. Like literally,
if you have a good mission statement, that's why everybody
loves working at Patagonia. Their mission statement is literally, let's
save the planet. Yeah, and that's a team rally right there.
You know, don't focus on whether or not someone's working.
Focus on what they're doing and what their output is.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And if they're happy.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
A variety from the two thousands of the nineties and
today it's Star one oh one three, it's Marcus and Corey.
Good morning, Hello, this should be fun. Sign you're getting old.
According to kids, this is just disheartening. So they surveyed
like a thousand kids, we're talking ages seven to sixteen
about what they considered old. How do they think about
(06:12):
old people?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
What old people? How do we spend our time? According
to these kids, you're officially old when you hit forty nine.
Whoa twenty percent of them, So that's one in five
think people stop having fun after thirty.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Here's the thing, because we live a lot longer than
we used to, and so you say forty nine is old,
it's like, it's not like we're retiring anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
They say the worst parts about getting old are the
aches and pains, the wrinkles and the gray hair.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
They believe that people stop having fun once they reach
the big three.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh, that's just dumb, because things just got better after thread.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, you start getting a little cash.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And also you do don't care, and you're doing things
you want to do, not things because your friends want
you to do them. I mean, they don't realize the
freedom you get after and after forty to.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That point, they do say the upsides of aging number
one on the list, having more money, having more life experience,
and understanding more about life in general, so kind of
having it figured out.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I guess this is so funny though, what they consider old.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
You know, because the other day, literally last night, I
was buying lotto tickets and I didn't have my readers,
and I had to have the guy at the counter
show me where the quick big what those things are tiny?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
The most wholesome moment in the studio is when I
look over and Corey's putting a poll on the Star
one on one three FM Instagram stories, and she's got
the phone in one hand and she's she doesn't do
the double thumbs, she does the one finger whilst pulling away.
Hopefully she's got her glasses on.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I'm literally trying to learn the double thumbs just because
you and my husband make fun of me.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You're so hip and with it. These same youngsters say this.
So basically, the survey is what do you think is old?
They say you're officially old when you're over forty nine.
Another twenty percent say everybody over thirty is boring.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Oh, you're boring.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Twelve percent say anybody over thirty you're too old to
play sports or exercise.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
What about the big pickleball phenom?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You're all theo that's for old people? Is it? Top
ten activities that old people love to do? According to kids?
Number one talking about the good old days. That's me shick.
My kid bought me a T shirt's got a covered
wagon on it and it says, be gentle with me.
I'm from the nineteen hundreds. I got here from the
Oregon Trail. Apparently old people love to garden. I don't
(08:40):
do that. Drinking tea, I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I like tea.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Watching daytime TV. I don't do that. I do talking
about our aches and pains, sleeping, knitting Nope, complaining about
the weather, and doing crosswords. I think that these kids
are conflating thirty year olds and forty year olds with
like seventy five year olds. Yes, no disrespect, but that
that sounds like something my dad would have been doing.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I always see it on.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
TV shows, like I'll be watching old episodes of Law
and Order and there'll be these kids and they'll be like, well,
how old was the suspect? I don't know, old like
you and they're talking to a forty year old he's nineteen.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, there you go. If you are over forty nine,
accordy of these kids, you are officially old.

back together, this week has been a big goose egg.

Well, we met online and we ended up going to
Pacifica and went to the coffee shop there. Okay, And
the day it was really relaxed. It was She's very
easy to talk to. I felt like, really connected, nice.
We had lattes, you know, we talked about work, and
then we went for a walk of the beach. It
was it was very like romantic. I really enjoyed it. Okay,
(14:58):
I mean I thought it was the start of something.
But she ghosted and I don't really have any context
as to why. I can't figure it out.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Here's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Tell me, Okay, So what we don't know about Vanessa
is that she's actually a student at the FBI's training academy,
and one of her instructors wants her to interview this
doctor who's a brilliant psychiatrist but also a violent psychopath. Now,
her instructor believes that Vanessa could get some insight from
(15:28):
this psychopath and that she, as an attractive woman, could
just be the bait to draw him out.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Silence of the lamps. Yes, Yes, nailed it. I even
beat Mark? You did, Mark?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
If Mark even cares?
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Oh gosh, I hope I'm pad of elected a.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yes, it is so Mark. Hello?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
All right sweet. So let me just ask Vanessa very plainly,
did you ghost on Mark? Because he is really in
his feelings right now.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I did. I did ghost.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, I'll be honest. Okay, So I don't know, this
might make me look not awesome, but okay, So Mark,
we got lattes and like Mark, when I got my latte,
he like took my latte like just out of my hands, okay,
(18:03):
and he said, let me make sure it's safe. And
then he like SIPs half of it like fully, like
fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Really, that's weird.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I thought it was weird. I thought it was kind
of gross, and you know, like technically, like this is
our first time meeting, like he's a stranger.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
We were going to make out anyway. I mean, what's
the difference?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Why do you know that? Else?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
What?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Who said that?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I mean, my guy manifesting his destiny?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
But I was just being.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Okay, well, it didn't come across as playful. It came
across as like invasive. Actually, and I don't know, like,
how do you know we're going to make out? Like
what that's very very presumptive.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Mark agreed, Sure, So was that the thing or I
think that's enough?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I mean, yeah, I mean technically that would weird me out.
Knock and lie honestly.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Okay. There was this other thing that I thought was weird,
which was Mark kept on like asking strangers to take
our picture, and he was like.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
So we'll have memories.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
And I thought that was like, you know, a little
jumping the gun.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Okay, did you want pictures of you guys make an ouse?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
We never.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
We never made out. Yeah, but uh like at some
point during the day he like leans over and he
was like, we're gonna tell our kids about this some day.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
And I was like, what, Mark, first date?
Speaker 6 (19:39):
I really just thought we had chemistry and I was
just showing up being serious about like my intention.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
No offense, but I would ghost over the kid thing alone.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I was like, I mean we like literally didn't even
talk about like whether you know, either us would want
kids because it was the first date, because it was
like a coffee date at the beach, Like, yeah, we
were just being.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I mean, on some level, Mark, I do appreciate your enthusiasm,
but I think this is a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I don't know, drink your coffee and they're gonna take
a picture of us making out and making a baby.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I mean, if he drank her coffee, they technically did
make out on some weird level I guess.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
So, uh.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Okay, listen, Mark sounds like a really nice guy. I'm
being honest, just.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
A little bold.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
So Mark, can you dial it back Vanessa? If he does,
can we get a do over a second date. Corey
is already shaking out to hang on, trying to salvage
the week here.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
I'm gonna yeah, I just don't I don't know if
the chemistry is right there for us.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
I'm sorry, Mark.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, hang on, kind of heard sorry, not sorry in there.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Well, that was a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
There was too many things, too many.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Second Date Update seven oh five. Weekday Mornings replays it
nine oh five. It'll be back Monday. You've got the podcast.
You can binge listen over the weekend if you need
to catch up. It's Marcus and Corey Second Date Up Day.
Please set a preset and subscribe, and thank you. Variety
from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's Star
one O one three. It's Marcus and Corey Friday. Good morning,
(21:15):
a little something. I got inspired by it just because
I cleaned out the office fridge just now.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Well you kind of deemed yourself the office fridge police
officer police.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yes, we got a DM from one of our listening family, Kara,
who listens every morning in San Jose. Thank you moment.
Somebody is stealing her lunch at work and she doesn't
know what to do about it. Okay, so here it
says right here, I've been noticing that the stuff I
bring from home keeps disappearing from the office fridge. I
spend hours cooking on Sunday big batch cooking so that
I can pack healthy lunches for the week, and more
(21:47):
than one occasion, my labeled container has just vanished. I'm
pretty sure I know who's doing it, but I don't
want to stir up any office drama or make things
weird with our small team. Still, it's happening over and over.
I'm sick of it. What do I do? Do I
confront the person directly? Do I leave a note? Do
I bring it up with my boss? First of all,
(22:07):
carea congratulations on having such delicious cooking well, and.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Also congratulations I'm being so responsible and getting ready for
your week.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
More to the point, what does she do?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I think it's really fret her lunch, right, what's really frustrating.
She labeled it.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That's that bothers me to no end. The fact that
you labeled it and they're still taking it. That's just
that's just theft. It's such a it's theft, it's disrespectful,
it's entitled, it's gross. And if she thinks she knows
who it is, here's what I'm thinking. You take one
of your delicious looking meals. Huh, throw some laxatives in
the there, Okay, and then guess.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
What, probably won't steal your meal again.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Has anybody actually done that? I want to hear from
somebody that is actually like, like, you know, trolled the
person to that degree where you've put laxatives in the
food and then they ate it and then everybody knew
who stole your food.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well, I think if it's happened more than two times,
I think it's well deserved.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
What's the HR ruling on something like that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Well, hold on, let's think. But let me think about
it legally for one second, because I know we have
a lot of HR people that listen. If you have
an employee who is stealing lunches and ends up with
eating a laxative that they didn't know about, who's in trouble?
Do both people get in trouble or just the person
stealing the lunches? That's a side question up to this point. Now,
what I would do for her.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
But they can't prove that you put the laxages in it.
What I would do is deny, deny, deny. I would
be like, hey, I don't know what you're talking about,
and be well, if you hadn't eaten it, you wouldn't
be a thief.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You're going to stir up the greatest office drama that
they've seen since I don't even know that'll be a movie.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But you stole it.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Understand they're not going to go to HR because that's
admitting they stole it.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
For Kara though. Here's what I would do. I would
mention it to the boss and I would ask the
boss to put out an email Lee's stop, we have
a situation. If it's not yours, a reminder not to
take it out of the fridge. That's where I would start.
And then if it continued, I would find the person
(24:13):
and I would be like, hey, I wouldn't accuse them directly.
I would say, hey, I keep losing my lunch. You
never see anybody holding this can to hold on, let
me finish, okay, you ever see anybody holding this container?
You don't know where this is going? And then they
go no, no idea. And then I would look them
in the face and I would smile and I would
go good because if I find him, I'm won't cut him.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Oh that's that's not worse than putting laxatives.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
You say with a smile. Then you're half joking, Are
you half joking. I'm not actually gonna cut anybody stop.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I would you could try the manipulative tactic going after
that person, going, man, you know what really stinks is
when someone steals your lunch. I mean, what kind of
low life, degenerate ke of every man you can think
of would steal a lunch?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Loser?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Especially when there's a name on it. I can't and
just make them feel like cry?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Can you imagine? And then you look directly at them
right in the eye, through their soul for like a
good ten seconds, don't break eye contact.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, and if you can make them cry bonus points.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Okay, too far?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Oh it really?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
What would you do if somebody was stealing your lunch
at work and you knew who it was?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Sorry, that was my tactic when my roommate cheated on
my cheating with my boyfriend on me.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
It's a little trauma getting their cry. Good Lord, hit
us with the talkback please because Karen needs your help.
And again, thank you to Karen San Jose for listening
every morning. Appreciate the DMS always.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Obviously you threw away somebody's lunch. He's still mad at you.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I'm no kidding. Obviously We're always good for advice, So
the hit the talk back on the iHeartRadio IP. It's
that little red microphone if you're streaming Star one on
one three. Right now, it's time for good News with
Marcus and Corey.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Good Sometimes all you need is the what a good
thought to make it a great day.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
So let's do this.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It's good News on Star.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
One one three.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Good News is hour brought to you by Shriving Company,
Luxury time Pieces, fine designers and Flawless Diamonds. We take
you to Corey's home state of Florida. One of the
greatest stories ever in my life. I would love this
to happen to me. Okay, but a salvage crew has
recovered a million dollars in gold coins, what the balloons
from a seventeen to fifteen shipwreck.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I feel like it's.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
So great to have these discoveries because you'd think we'd
already found them all. But the ocean is such a
vast unknown territory.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Okay. So this is a company called Queen's Jewels. They
own the salvage rights to the seventeen hundred and fifteen
Treasure Fleet shipwreck. Have you heard of this? Because ye
so They recovered more than one thousand silver Spanish coins
and some gold coins several other artifacts. The backstory on
(27:03):
this is the fleet sank and a hurricane oh July
thirty first, seventeen fifteen. It was carrying all this stuff
from the New World to Spain, and a lot of
the stuff still in good condition. The event remains one
of the largest maritime tragedies in the Americas. Wow, so
what they're going to do is, oh, I would put
(27:25):
it all under my mattress, but Queen's Jewels are going
to create displays and then exhibit them at local museums.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
There are a.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Lot of laws when it comes to finding something in
the ocean, you know, paying taxes and who has the
rights to it and all of that stuff. So I
think the best way to do it is put it
in a museum.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I just wonder, like, how do you get the right?
You have to literally buy the rights. Is it like
storage wars where you buy this you know what I mean,
this storage coetdator and then you get to keep whatever
it is.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
It's more complicated than that because it do you have
to take into account international waters and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But man, just a real life shipwreck with a real
life treasure chest. You're a pirate, basically, it says right here.
Plans already being made for select items to be exhibited
at local museums so that residents and visitors can see
a rare piece of Florida's maritime history.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I think that's great because we should be able to
see that one hundred.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Percent anyway, I just thought that was cool. Good news.

Speaker 7 (32:48):
Are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Play with us again at weekday mornings at eight and
add to what you know about that podcast is a
preset on our iHeart app and Never miss an episode
well variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey
very excited for all the Taylor Swift magic that is
happening on the radio station this morning.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Magic is the key word.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
We're playing tracks from the new album every hour.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
And she actually just got interviewed by iHeartRadio New York. Yes,
And they asked her something I've always wanted to ask her,
which is, how in the world did you write, produce,
record a full album while on tour while go into
the football games to support your fiance without hitting a
wall or going nuts? And she had some very interesting
(33:35):
things to say. Check this out, Taylor Swift on the phone.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
It was actually kind of the opposite of going nuts,
because I think if I hadn't started the creative process
of making this album. While I was on tour, I
think I was way more exhausted than I was, because
like this album started to happen in the European leg
of the Eras tour, like last summer, during a time
(33:59):
in the tour where I wo so physically exhausted that
like my feet were sore, my legs were sore, my hips,
my neck, right back, everything was like in pain all
the time. And it was also like almost two years
into the tour, so I was starting to get muscle memory.
I was starting to be able to do the show
without thinking about it. So I knew I needed to
like stimulate my brain and my creativity and like figure
(34:21):
out a way to like be excited every day. And
so I would do three shows, I'd fly to Sweden
and record, do three more shows, fly back to Sweden.
And it was actually that stimulation of the creative process
of making this record, so that made me finish out
that tour without ever like hitting a wall.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Taylor Swift talking about how she got that album recorded, produced,
written while on tour at the same time and supporting
Travis Kelcey as football games. I guess she just needed
it for inspiration and motivation.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
She's so impressive and an amazing use of her brain,
and in trying to not get caught up in this
tour or burnout, we're.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Going to be playing another track from the new album.
It's called Elizabeth Taylor. That's next Star one one three,
Well riety from the two thousands, the nineties and today
it's Star one on one three Marcus and Corey. Look
who's here. It's Gillian.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
Happy Taylor. Swift day you guys, yay, like.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
You're a real swifty for real? Oh yeah, Now what
have you been doing all week? Knowing that the album
was dropping last night?
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I've been listening to the Tortured Poets Department just kind
of still in that era.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
I know I sound crazy, but I we're real excited.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
No, you don't race it.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I'm wishing you could get to New York for her
pop up that she's doing.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Oh I wish we had something like that here.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, yeah, no kidding. This will be fun then for you,
Like I'd like her peripherally. It's fine, music's great, whatever,
but you're like for real.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
And that's how I felt for a very long time
until the pandemic and I really got into her Lover
album huh. And then my sister Britt was such a
huge fan, so she was like, you have to listen
to this song, you know, from this particular album, right,
or listen to this song.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
And I fell in love with her songwriting.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
So then I started experiencing and going back to other
albums and just became a massive fan during COVID, which
is amazing.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
I think everybody else was watching shows I was listening
to Taylor.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
That's awesome. I think the thing is is that she's
a real person, uh huh, and you can you can
relate to her no matter how famous she is.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
Sure exactly.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Yeah, there's a song for every experience, at least for
me that I've been through. I can go back and
hear a song that I feel a little less alone.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I love it. She's good for all of us right now.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
Yes, love that.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
What's coming up on the show this morning?
Speaker 5 (36:31):
I believe we have new Taylor throughout the day, right
and then also a ton of money with the base
ten Kay giveaway.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
That's right. Nice, Keep the radio on. Jillian's going to
get you officially into your weekend. We'll talk to you Monday.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Bartley. Cloudy skies and cool tamps. Highs ranging from the
mid sixties near the bay to the low seventies inland.
Plenty of sunshine and warmer conditions tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
This report is sponsored by Whole Foods Market
It's the most Taylor swift day ever.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Oh my gosh it so is.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Album dropped last night? What is it called?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Are you kidding? The Life of a show Girl?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I get confused with the title of the movie. I
don't want to blow it. The movie's called the Official
Release Party of a show Girl for the Life of
a show Girl, and it's going on all weekend. Sorry,
because then my brain is jubled because now I'm looking
ahead at our music and we're going to be playing
tracks every hour starting at eight o'clock, and the song
(00:30):
that we're playing at eight thirty is going to be
called the Fate of Ophelia. So my brain was too
full of words.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
That's the first single, and we played the entire album
last night when it dropped.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
That's right. So if you missed out and you've got
Swifties in your life or in the car, about eight
thirty this morning with the first one, then nine thirty
and ten thirty, et cetera. Six How are you, Corey?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Good?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yes, Friday, Happy Friday. Very productive. I worked out. I
replanted some plants that needed to get some bigger pots.
I don't have a green thumb, so I'm just hoping
for the best.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
M hmm, it seemed like it went well all right.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I took a big nap sure after going to Benson
Boone the night before, and then I got up and
it was my buddy's birthday, so I went down and
watched the Niner game at Cameron's. What a nail bier.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I can't do those, man, I have anxiety.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
They ended up winning on an overtime field goal.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What Danny.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
University of Florida Gator Danny Danny? No, Eddie Eddie Sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I don't know, Eddie de Naro Pinero Eddie money so good?
What else is going on today? Speaking of the release
party of a showgirl that's going on tomorrow here in
the city, we have a last minute pair of tickets
to join us. We'll be hosting, yes, that particular screening,
so make sure you're listening to win coming up about
(01:57):
seven thirty five on the way next twenty twenty five.
Another QUTS term for the workplace. Oh boy, something called
productivity theater? What is it? How do you avoid it?
How do you prevent it? How do you recognize it?
Fascinated me?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I read an arty.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
We'll talk about it at six fifteen a variety from
the two thousands, the nineties, and today at Star one
on one three it's Marcus and Corey. I heard a workplace. Well,
it's jargon that fascinated me and never heard of it before.
Productivity theater is on the rise, and it seems out control.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, it's ounding control, but it also seems unnecessary.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It literally means the art of looking busy. Back back
in the day, you'll just be like, hey, the boss
is in. Today, let's look busy. And people are spending
more energy utilizing technology to make them look busy, especially
if they work remotely, than the energy that they use
to do their own jobs. For example, companies can track
whether or not your screen is sleeping even if you
(02:57):
work remotely. Companies can track whether your mouse is moving
around remotely, I believe it. And so they have technology
that will keep your screen on. They have technology that
will keep your mouth moving around even when you're sleeping.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Can you turn your camera off? Can they turn it
back on?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I don't know that, I'm sure, I'm sure. I mean
the way technology is, they could dip into your machine
while you're on it and see if you're playing warcraft
or not.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
You know, oh yeah, I didn't do anything like that
on my work laptop.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I did download Balder's Gate on a work laptop at home,
but I but I didn't play it while I'm supposed
to be working. I just needed a PC.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I guess they're still gonna know, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
At some point what they're saying is the best way
to kind of avoid this, like say, for example, if
you're a manager, is not to focus on whether your
employee is working, but what their output is.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
That's my whole speculation on this is because I don't
know why people fake doing their jobs. Because you have
to do your job. You eventually have to produce something, so.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Right, but intel then I'm gonna put in minimum effort
till they can actually figure out that I'm not doing
my job.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You're gonna get fired. Why are you doing this community
theater at your workplace? Just do your job.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
There are some people that can bounce job to job
year and a half two years, and I think that's
how long it takes for the company to figure out
whether or not you're effective.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
So you just bounce, or you get what you need
to get done, and your work there is done and
you want a new challenge.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't think we could be performative in this job,
like as far as working but not really doing anything.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I don't know how we would do that because there's
things we have to do. And I can't fake uploading
the podcasts. I can't fake doing the trivia.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Question, right, I can't fake editing audio.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I can't fake talking unless you and I are AI?
Are you AI?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
No? No? Are you?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Marcus? Tell me something only Marcus would know.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
This concept, though, is crazy to you just avoided the question.
Productivity theater officially out of control at work.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It's basically the plot behind office space.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh yeah, I mean, what does he admit?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
He gets in there and he flips around for like
fifteen minutes playing warcraft. He's, you know, eating cheetos and
deboning a fish at his desk.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Those are the people that would drive me crazy, the
people that could somehow smash two or three hours of
work into an eight hour day.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I had a coworker like that back in the day.
He literally he just walked around and drank coffee.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Peter.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
That's happening there. You go. Be on the lookout for it.
Productivity theater.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
What they basically say is if you have a good
office culture. This is how you avoid it. Like literally,
if you have a good mission statement, that's why everybody
loves working at Patagonia. Their mission statement is literally, let's
save the planet. Yeah, and that's a team rally right there.
You know, don't focus on whether or not someone's working.
Focus on what they're doing and what their output is.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And if they're happy.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
A variety from the two thousands of the nineties and
today it's Star one oh one three, it's Marcus and Corey.
Good morning, Hello, this should be fun. Sign you're getting old.
According to kids, this is just disheartening. So they surveyed
like a thousand kids, we're talking ages seven to sixteen
about what they considered old. How do they think about
(06:12):
old people?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
What old people? How do we spend our time? According
to these kids, you're officially old when you hit forty nine.
Whoa twenty percent of them, So that's one in five
think people stop having fun after thirty.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Here's the thing, because we live a lot longer than
we used to, and so you say forty nine is old,
it's like, it's not like we're retiring anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
They say the worst parts about getting old are the
aches and pains, the wrinkles and the gray hair.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
They believe that people stop having fun once they reach
the big three.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh, that's just dumb, because things just got better after thread.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, you start getting a little cash.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And also you do don't care, and you're doing things
you want to do, not things because your friends want
you to do them. I mean, they don't realize the
freedom you get after and after forty to.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That point, they do say the upsides of aging number
one on the list, having more money, having more life experience,
and understanding more about life in general, so kind of
having it figured out.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I guess this is so funny though, what they consider old.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
You know, because the other day, literally last night, I
was buying lotto tickets and I didn't have my readers,
and I had to have the guy at the counter
show me where the quick big what those things are tiny?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
The most wholesome moment in the studio is when I
look over and Corey's putting a poll on the Star
one on one three FM Instagram stories, and she's got
the phone in one hand and she's she doesn't do
the double thumbs, she does the one finger whilst pulling away.
Hopefully she's got her glasses on.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I'm literally trying to learn the double thumbs just because
you and my husband make fun of me.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You're so hip and with it. These same youngsters say this.
So basically, the survey is what do you think is old?
They say you're officially old when you're over forty nine.
Another twenty percent say everybody over thirty is boring.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Oh, you're boring.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Twelve percent say anybody over thirty you're too old to
play sports or exercise.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
What about the big pickleball phenom?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You're all theo that's for old people? Is it? Top
ten activities that old people love to do? According to kids?
Number one talking about the good old days. That's me shick.
My kid bought me a T shirt's got a covered
wagon on it and it says, be gentle with me.
I'm from the nineteen hundreds. I got here from the
Oregon Trail. Apparently old people love to garden. I don't
(08:40):
do that. Drinking tea, I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I like tea.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Watching daytime TV. I don't do that. I do talking
about our aches and pains, sleeping, knitting Nope, complaining about
the weather, and doing crosswords. I think that these kids
are conflating thirty year olds and forty year olds with
like seventy five year olds. Yes, no disrespect, but that
that sounds like something my dad would have been doing.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I always see it on.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
TV shows, like I'll be watching old episodes of Law
and Order and there'll be these kids and they'll be like, well,
how old was the suspect? I don't know, old like
you and they're talking to a forty year old he's nineteen.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, there you go. If you are over forty nine,
accordy of these kids, you are officially old.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Your your mouth.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
This is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's what's trendin on Star, what's happening in entertainment news,
the biggest stories of the day, and everything people are

Speaker 1 (13:52):
And Corey Variety from the two thousands, the nineties and
today it's Star one O one three, It's Marcus and Corey.
It is time for second date update. Unlike last week
where we had a couple of couples that actually got
back together, this week has been a big goose egg.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It really has, and that's why I have hoped for
today that we're going to find the reason why you're not.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Getting that next date. Yes, we want to know why.
How can we help you? We want to help you
help yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Let's talk to Mark. Get him on the phone.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Hello, Mark, Hey, guys, how you doing?
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Good man?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
How are you you? All right?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'm okay, yeah, exactly. Sure. Let's talk about Vanessa. Let's
just get right into it. How did you guys meet?
And then, like as always, run us through the first date.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Well, we met online and we ended up going to
Pacifica and went to the coffee shop there. Okay, And
the day it was really relaxed. It was She's very
easy to talk to. I felt like, really connected, nice.
We had lattes, you know, we talked about work, and
then we went for a walk of the beach. It
was it was very like romantic. I really enjoyed it. Okay,
(14:58):
I mean I thought it was the start of something.
But she ghosted and I don't really have any context
as to why. I can't figure it out.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Here's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Tell me, Okay, So what we don't know about Vanessa
is that she's actually a student at the FBI's training academy,
and one of her instructors wants her to interview this
doctor who's a brilliant psychiatrist but also a violent psychopath. Now,
her instructor believes that Vanessa could get some insight from
(15:28):
this psychopath and that she, as an attractive woman, could
just be the bait to draw him out.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Silence of the lamps. Yes, Yes, nailed it. I even
beat Mark? You did, Mark?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
If Mark even cares?
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Oh gosh, I hope I'm pad of elected a.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Poor guy.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Obi hasn't got a side of fun.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
It means I'll tell you what Mark. Let's call Vanessa
and try to figure it out. Can you hang on
the line for a song. Yeah, well, awesome, brother, we'll
do it. Next Second Date Update Star one on one
three More variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and
today Star one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey.
We're doing Second Date Update right now. We've got Mark
on the phone. He was telling about his date with Vanessa.
(16:17):
So they went to Pacifica grabbed some lattes. Walking on
the beach sounds nice, sounds romantic. But she has ghosted,
so let's try to figure this out. Mark, are you're
still there?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Great, all right, take a deep breath, mute your phone.
Let's call her and figure it out.
Speaker 2 (16:42):

invite you to be a participant in Second Date Update.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
All right, you cool with that?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Okay? Great?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Great?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
So I'm guessing it's Mark.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yes, it is so Mark. Hello?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
All right sweet. So let me just ask Vanessa very plainly,
did you ghost on Mark? Because he is really in
his feelings right now.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I did. I did ghost.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, I'll be honest. Okay, So I don't know, this
might make me look not awesome, but okay, So Mark,
we got lattes and like Mark, when I got my latte,
he like took my latte like just out of my hands, okay,
(18:03):
and he said, let me make sure it's safe. And
then he like SIPs half of it like fully, like
fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Really, that's weird.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I thought it was weird. I thought it was kind
of gross, and you know, like technically, like this is
our first time meeting, like he's a stranger.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
We were going to make out anyway. I mean, what's
the difference?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Why do you know that? Else?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
What?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Who said that?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I mean, my guy manifesting his destiny?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
But I was just being.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Okay, well, it didn't come across as playful. It came
across as like invasive. Actually, and I don't know, like,
how do you know we're going to make out? Like
what that's very very presumptive.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Mark agreed, Sure, So was that the thing or I
think that's enough?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I mean, yeah, I mean technically that would weird me out.
Knock and lie honestly.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Okay. There was this other thing that I thought was weird,
which was Mark kept on like asking strangers to take
our picture, and he was like.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
So we'll have memories.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
And I thought that was like, you know, a little
jumping the gun.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Okay, did you want pictures of you guys make an ouse?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
We never.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
We never made out. Yeah, but uh like at some
point during the day he like leans over and he
was like, we're gonna tell our kids about this some day.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
And I was like, what, Mark, first date?
Speaker 6 (19:39):
I really just thought we had chemistry and I was
just showing up being serious about like my intention.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
No offense, but I would ghost over the kid thing alone.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I was like, I mean we like literally didn't even
talk about like whether you know, either us would want
kids because it was the first date, because it was
like a coffee date at the beach, Like, yeah, we
were just being.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I mean, on some level, Mark, I do appreciate your enthusiasm,
but I think this is a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I don't know, drink your coffee and they're gonna take
a picture of us making out and making a baby.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I mean, if he drank her coffee, they technically did
make out on some weird level I guess.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
So, uh.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Okay, listen, Mark sounds like a really nice guy. I'm
being honest, just.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
A little bold.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
So Mark, can you dial it back Vanessa? If he does,
can we get a do over a second date. Corey
is already shaking out to hang on, trying to salvage
the week here.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
I'm gonna yeah, I just don't I don't know if
the chemistry is right there for us.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
I'm sorry, Mark.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, hang on, kind of heard sorry, not sorry in there.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Well, that was a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
There was too many things, too many.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Second Date Update seven oh five. Weekday Mornings replays it
nine oh five. It'll be back Monday. You've got the podcast.
You can binge listen over the weekend if you need
to catch up. It's Marcus and Corey Second Date Up Day.
Please set a preset and subscribe, and thank you. Variety
from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's Star
one O one three. It's Marcus and Corey Friday. Good morning,
(21:15):
a little something. I got inspired by it just because
I cleaned out the office fridge just now.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Well you kind of deemed yourself the office fridge police
officer police.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yes, we got a DM from one of our listening family, Kara,
who listens every morning in San Jose. Thank you moment.
Somebody is stealing her lunch at work and she doesn't
know what to do about it. Okay, so here it
says right here, I've been noticing that the stuff I
bring from home keeps disappearing from the office fridge. I
spend hours cooking on Sunday big batch cooking so that
I can pack healthy lunches for the week, and more
(21:47):
than one occasion, my labeled container has just vanished. I'm
pretty sure I know who's doing it, but I don't
want to stir up any office drama or make things
weird with our small team. Still, it's happening over and over.
I'm sick of it. What do I do? Do I
confront the person directly? Do I leave a note? Do
I bring it up with my boss? First of all,
(22:07):
carea congratulations on having such delicious cooking well, and.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Also congratulations I'm being so responsible and getting ready for
your week.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
More to the point, what does she do?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I think it's really fret her lunch, right, what's really frustrating.
She labeled it.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That's that bothers me to no end. The fact that
you labeled it and they're still taking it. That's just
that's just theft. It's such a it's theft, it's disrespectful,
it's entitled, it's gross. And if she thinks she knows
who it is, here's what I'm thinking. You take one
of your delicious looking meals. Huh, throw some laxatives in
the there, Okay, and then guess.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
What, probably won't steal your meal again.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Has anybody actually done that? I want to hear from
somebody that is actually like, like, you know, trolled the
person to that degree where you've put laxatives in the
food and then they ate it and then everybody knew
who stole your food.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well, I think if it's happened more than two times,
I think it's well deserved.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
What's the HR ruling on something like that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Well, hold on, let's think. But let me think about
it legally for one second, because I know we have
a lot of HR people that listen. If you have
an employee who is stealing lunches and ends up with
eating a laxative that they didn't know about, who's in trouble?
Do both people get in trouble or just the person
stealing the lunches? That's a side question up to this point. Now,
what I would do for her.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
But they can't prove that you put the laxages in it.
What I would do is deny, deny, deny. I would
be like, hey, I don't know what you're talking about,
and be well, if you hadn't eaten it, you wouldn't
be a thief.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You're going to stir up the greatest office drama that
they've seen since I don't even know that'll be a movie.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But you stole it.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Understand they're not going to go to HR because that's
admitting they stole it.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
For Kara though. Here's what I would do. I would
mention it to the boss and I would ask the
boss to put out an email Lee's stop, we have
a situation. If it's not yours, a reminder not to
take it out of the fridge. That's where I would start.
And then if it continued, I would find the person
(24:13):
and I would be like, hey, I wouldn't accuse them directly.
I would say, hey, I keep losing my lunch. You
never see anybody holding this can to hold on, let
me finish, okay, you ever see anybody holding this container?
You don't know where this is going? And then they
go no, no idea. And then I would look them
in the face and I would smile and I would
go good because if I find him, I'm won't cut him.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Oh that's that's not worse than putting laxatives.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
You say with a smile. Then you're half joking, Are
you half joking. I'm not actually gonna cut anybody stop.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I would you could try the manipulative tactic going after
that person, going, man, you know what really stinks is
when someone steals your lunch. I mean, what kind of
low life, degenerate ke of every man you can think
of would steal a lunch?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Loser?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Especially when there's a name on it. I can't and
just make them feel like cry?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Can you imagine? And then you look directly at them
right in the eye, through their soul for like a
good ten seconds, don't break eye contact.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, and if you can make them cry bonus points.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Okay, too far?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Oh it really?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
What would you do if somebody was stealing your lunch
at work and you knew who it was?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Sorry, that was my tactic when my roommate cheated on
my cheating with my boyfriend on me.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
It's a little trauma getting their cry. Good Lord, hit
us with the talkback please because Karen needs your help.
And again, thank you to Karen San Jose for listening
every morning. Appreciate the DMS always.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Obviously you threw away somebody's lunch. He's still mad at you.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I'm no kidding. Obviously We're always good for advice, So
the hit the talk back on the iHeartRadio IP. It's
that little red microphone if you're streaming Star one on
one three. Right now, it's time for good News with
Marcus and Corey.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Good Sometimes all you need is the what a good
thought to make it a great day.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
So let's do this.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It's good News on Star.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
One one three.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Good News is hour brought to you by Shriving Company,
Luxury time Pieces, fine designers and Flawless Diamonds. We take
you to Corey's home state of Florida. One of the
greatest stories ever in my life. I would love this
to happen to me. Okay, but a salvage crew has
recovered a million dollars in gold coins, what the balloons
from a seventeen to fifteen shipwreck.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I feel like it's.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
So great to have these discoveries because you'd think we'd
already found them all. But the ocean is such a
vast unknown territory.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Okay. So this is a company called Queen's Jewels. They
own the salvage rights to the seventeen hundred and fifteen
Treasure Fleet shipwreck. Have you heard of this? Because ye
so They recovered more than one thousand silver Spanish coins
and some gold coins several other artifacts. The backstory on
(27:03):
this is the fleet sank and a hurricane oh July
thirty first, seventeen fifteen. It was carrying all this stuff
from the New World to Spain, and a lot of
the stuff still in good condition. The event remains one
of the largest maritime tragedies in the Americas. Wow, so
what they're going to do is, oh, I would put
(27:25):
it all under my mattress, but Queen's Jewels are going
to create displays and then exhibit them at local museums.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
There are a.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Lot of laws when it comes to finding something in
the ocean, you know, paying taxes and who has the
rights to it and all of that stuff. So I
think the best way to do it is put it
in a museum.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I just wonder, like, how do you get the right?
You have to literally buy the rights. Is it like
storage wars where you buy this you know what I mean,
this storage coetdator and then you get to keep whatever
it is.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
It's more complicated than that because it do you have
to take into account international waters and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But man, just a real life shipwreck with a real
life treasure chest. You're a pirate, basically, it says right here.
Plans already being made for select items to be exhibited
at local museums so that residents and visitors can see
a rare piece of Florida's maritime history.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I think that's great because we should be able to
see that one hundred.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Percent anyway, I just thought that was cool. Good news.

Play with us again at weekday mornings at eight and
add to what you know about that podcast is a
preset on our iHeart app and Never miss an episode
well variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey
very excited for all the Taylor Swift magic that is
happening on the radio station this morning.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Magic is the key word.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
We're playing tracks from the new album every hour.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
And she actually just got interviewed by iHeartRadio New York. Yes,
And they asked her something I've always wanted to ask her,
which is, how in the world did you write, produce,
record a full album while on tour while go into
the football games to support your fiance without hitting a
wall or going nuts? And she had some very interesting
(33:35):
things to say. Check this out, Taylor Swift on the phone.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
It was actually kind of the opposite of going nuts,
because I think if I hadn't started the creative process
of making this album. While I was on tour, I
think I was way more exhausted than I was, because
like this album started to happen in the European leg
of the Eras tour, like last summer, during a time
(33:59):
in the tour where I wo so physically exhausted that
like my feet were sore, my legs were sore, my hips,
my neck, right back, everything was like in pain all
the time. And it was also like almost two years
into the tour, so I was starting to get muscle memory.
I was starting to be able to do the show
without thinking about it. So I knew I needed to
like stimulate my brain and my creativity and like figure
(34:21):
out a way to like be excited every day. And
so I would do three shows, I'd fly to Sweden
and record, do three more shows, fly back to Sweden.
And it was actually that stimulation of the creative process
of making this record, so that made me finish out
that tour without ever like hitting a wall.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Taylor Swift talking about how she got that album recorded, produced,
written while on tour at the same time and supporting
Travis Kelcey as football games. I guess she just needed
it for inspiration and motivation.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
She's so impressive and an amazing use of her brain,
and in trying to not get caught up in this
tour or burnout, we're.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Going to be playing another track from the new album.
It's called Elizabeth Taylor. That's next Star one one three,
Well riety from the two thousands, the nineties and today
it's Star one on one three Marcus and Corey. Look
who's here. It's Gillian.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
Happy Taylor. Swift day you guys, yay, like.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
You're a real swifty for real? Oh yeah, Now what
have you been doing all week? Knowing that the album
was dropping last night?
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I've been listening to the Tortured Poets Department just kind
of still in that era.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
I know I sound crazy, but I we're real excited.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
No, you don't race it.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I'm wishing you could get to New York for her
pop up that she's doing.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Oh I wish we had something like that here.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, yeah, no kidding. This will be fun then for you,
Like I'd like her peripherally. It's fine, music's great, whatever,
but you're like for real.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
And that's how I felt for a very long time
until the pandemic and I really got into her Lover
album huh. And then my sister Britt was such a
huge fan, so she was like, you have to listen
to this song, you know, from this particular album, right,
or listen to this song.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
And I fell in love with her songwriting.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
So then I started experiencing and going back to other
albums and just became a massive fan during COVID, which
is amazing.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
I think everybody else was watching shows I was listening
to Taylor.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
That's awesome. I think the thing is is that she's
a real person, uh huh, and you can you can
relate to her no matter how famous she is.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
Sure exactly.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Yeah, there's a song for every experience, at least for
me that I've been through. I can go back and
hear a song that I feel a little less alone.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I love it. She's good for all of us right now.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
Yes, love that.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
What's coming up on the show this morning?
Speaker 5 (36:31):
I believe we have new Taylor throughout the day, right
and then also a ton of money with the base
ten Kay giveaway.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
That's right. Nice, Keep the radio on. Jillian's going to
get you officially into your weekend. We'll talk to you Monday.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (36:43):

mid sixties near the bay to the low seventies inland.
Plenty of sunshine and warmer conditions tomorrow.
