Ridiculous Excuses For Missing Work
A new Reddit thread is reminding us that people will say just about anything to get out of work. What is your story?
  • "I was once late to work because I was glued in my apartment. They replaced the carpet in the common hallway overnight, and were too enthusiastic with the glue by my door. I had to wait until maintenance arrived at 8 a.m., so they could body slam the door from the outside."
  • "My grandparents had a medical emergency years ago where one got stuck on the toilet, and when the other tried to help, they fell and knocked themselves unconscious. "
  • "Flushed my car key down the toilet. It was me, and I certainly did."
  • "Got bit on the finger by a squirrel while tossing a coffee cup into a parking garage trashcan."
  • "A guy I worked with in retail 15 years ago called in to say he had a nightmare and didn't think he'd be able to get back to sleep and come in to work five hours later."
  • "I was running a shift and had a girl call in sick, saying she was too distraught to work because Zayn had left One Direction."
  • "I had to call in late once because my stairs were gone. Of course, it was a huge violation by the condo, and we had no way out of our second-story walk-up. Absolutely ridiculous, and fortunately, the photos I sent my boss were enough to excuse my tardiness."

Coupes Who Gossip Together Are Closer
  • Most couples gossip, and it turns out, that can be good for their relationship.
  • According to a new study from University of California, Riverside, couples who gossip together are happier and more satisfied in their romance and share a deeper bond.
  • Researchers tracked 76 couples using a portable listening device and found they spent an average of 29 minutes a day gossiping with their partner and those who did more frequently reported higher levels of happiness and better relationship quality.

Cleaning Is My Love Language
  • Forget words of affirmation or physical touch, a new survey finds that 54% of Americans say cleaning is their love language.
  • The research from Seventh Generation also finds that 85% consider cleaning up for someone else an act of love.
  • Nearly two in three respondents admit they’ve been turned off by someone’s messy home and a third have even ended a relationship because of a partner’s lack of cleanliness.⠀

Speaker 1 (00:00):
He goes by the name of Somber. I like that
song Undressed.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
I do to star one on one, three more variety
from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it is
Marcus and Corey right before six. It's Friday, y'all. We
made it a bye.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
How you doing, Corey. I'm really happy it's Friday. Yeah,
me too. And also bonus. I don't know what happened
in my subway mobile app but I was grabbing a
sandwich yesterday after my chiropractor appointment, and I get my
bag and there's my six inch and then a foot long.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I can't believe you didn't lead with the headline of
you got a bonus sandwich.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I got a bonus sandwich, so I brought it in today.
I'm gonna split it with you because I can't handle
a whole foot long. Oh we're splitting it now. Oh
you wanted the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Oh you were throwing it around like I was gonna
get the whole film.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Oh no, oh, half a sandwich is not enough. Just kidding.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'll pair that with my half bond me that I
got in Palo Alto yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I was in Palo Alto yesterday and the funniest thing happened.
I never had this habit in my life, and I
don't want it to sound self serving. It was just
a really funny moment. I've never been recognized while driving.
Oh sometimes on the street because of social media, somebody
will come up and holler, and I love it when
people say hello. It's my favorite thing in the world.

(01:16):
I was driving down Alma Street near the turnaround you
if you know, you know, and this guy goes at
Marcos and I look over and he goes, I listen
to you every morning.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Made my whole day. That's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
His name was Marco. He was from Hayward and he
won tickets to the boat cruise earlier, so we're going
to see him at the boat cruise. Seems like a
really cool guy. He was with his kids. I just
thought it was it's.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
So funny when it's so random. I remember I was
white tasting like not too long after I got here,
and somebody came up behind me. They're like, where's Marcus,
And I'm like what, Yeah, it's the coolest thing. It's
so you're like, huh, I really.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Enjoy it, and hey, if you want to get on
our boat cruise. We want to hang out with every Yeah.
So it's Marcus and Corey's Big Day on the Bay.
We've been talking about it for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (02:04):

(02:34):
the Bay. We will have tickets to win this morning
at seven thirty five. We appreciate you having us on.
Will be right back.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
A variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one on one three, It's Marcus and Corey.
Good morning, it's turning some participation. What is the most
ridiculous reason you've heard for somebody missing work? Because we
saw this article and it cracked us up.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I mean, I've gotten the old I'm sick, I can't
come in, and then you know, I check out their
social media and there in Vegas. Hmm, but these are hilarious.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I love the first one. This person writes. I was
once late to work because I was glued to my apartment.
They replaced the carpet in the common hallway overnight and
were too enthusiastic with the glue.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
By my door.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I had to wait until maintenance arrived at eight am
so they could body slam the door from the outside.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I mean, that is so bizarre that I would believe it,
because to make that up, like, who would think of that?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Here's another one. I flushed my car keys down the toilet.
It was me, and it certainly happened.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Well, I mean that happened to me with my key card.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
I be have for that.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
We have the what do they call them electric toilets
where they flush.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Automatically, they stand up and then the jet engine fires
off and sucks everything down like it's supposed to do.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well. I got up, my key card, fell off, went
into the toilet, and before I could debate whether or
not I wanted to put my hand in my own urine.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Gone because it doesn't do it right away. It gives
you a five seconds of hope, yeah, before it blows
it out of an air log that.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I was hesitant to stick my hand in there, and
then it was gone. I was like, not just the
key card, but the little holder thing that clips onto
your pants. Took the whole thing down. The fisuals on
this are delicious, so I believe them when they say that.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I would say the most ridiculous reason Cory's ever called
in lately work is because she and her husband bought
a new vehicle, the pre owned certified Mercedes that we
talk about, and he changed the pedal settings the seat
settings to his settings and he's massive, and she couldn't
figure out how to switch him back, so she couldn't
reach the pedals. That was just the other day she

(04:34):
couldn't drive to work.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
So well, it's just it was delayed till he kicked in.
So there's a setting for Corey and there's a setting
for the Jeff, and he had set the Jeff and
then I hit my settings and it won't move, and
I'm like, so I gotta like get out and turn
the car off and turn it back on and hit
my settings. This one I really like. Okay, that guy

(04:56):
worked with said he had a nightmare and didn't think
he'd be able to get back to sleep and come
to work five hours later. So I could see you
doing that mineor nightmares. Mine's just anxiety and I can't
get back to sleep.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm gonna finish strong, and then I would love for
you to think about again. Ridiculous reasons someone has called
in either late or absent to work, or maybe you
did it. This is a perfect talkback moment. Somebody wrote
on Reddit, I got bit on the finger by a
squirrel while tossing a coffee cup into the parking lot.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Trash can wait. I had to call in late once
because my stairs were gone. But they said photos to
their boss to prove the fact that the condo was
working on their apartment and they couldn't get out of
the apartment and the stairs were gone. Lord, I've been

(05:49):
a parallel universe. I can't come in.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
So if you've got one, hit us with a talkback please.
It's the little red microphone on the iHeartRadio app. If
you're streaming Star one on one three right now.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
Well.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Variety from The two House is the nineties and today
it's Star one on one three, It's Marcus and Corey Friday.
Good morning, here's a fun one in time for the weekend.
Gossip is apparently good for romance. According to a study,
couples that gossip together stay together.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I agree with that. What does that mean though? Does
that mean like you go home and tell your husband everything? Yes,
I tell him everything. We talk about everything, and it's
delightful and I love it.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
My wife is a vault. I instinctively, like you. If
I hear something or if I know something and I
gotta tell somebody, I will tell my wife because I
know she's a vault.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
It is not reciprocated.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
If you are a friend of my wife and you
tell her something, you don't even have to do the
thing that Corey makes you do and say off the record,
because explain that sidebar. If you are gonna tell Corey
something and you forget to say hey, off the record,
she will tell people, and she will tell people right
in front of you during the most inopportune times, to

(06:55):
make you look as dumb as possible. If she hold on,
if she thinks it's funny.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I don't want to make you look dumb. If it's funny,
I'm going to share it to make you laugh. But
I don't want to make anybody look dumb, right, But
it's backfired a few times.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, she loves to tell the most intimate of secrets
during meetings with our boss. Not that I've ever experienced
this in real time, but my wife and I know
we have a lot of people listening that know my
wife personally. She is an absolute one hundred percent vault.
She tells me nothing. There have been a few things
that have popped off in our social circle over the

(07:29):
last couple of months that she knew about weeks before
I did and said nothing.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I mean, that's great, that's that's good discipline.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
I have never met a better human being in that regard.
She keeps her mouth shut period.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
But the thing is this research study they did on
gossiping with couples, yeah, is that it makes you closer.
It's better for your relationship.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Because it reinforces the perception that the partners are quote
on the same team. I have to be very careful.
I feel like when I go home and gossip because
my wife is inherently a good person, she doesn't really
get mired in gossip. It's not sexy to her. It's
not cute.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Do you know what I mean? Well, there's negative gossip
and then there's just gossip. I don't like negative gossip.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Is there a difference between gossip and negative gossip?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah? I think so.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I thought gossip inherently was a negative word.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I don't like to think of it that way. I
like to think of it as sharing funny stories and
oh my god, did you hear who broke up? Or
did you hear who got together? But not in a
negative way, like saying is it the sentence oh my god,
did you hear who broke up? Is that not inherently
a negative sentence? Well, okay, what if I said, oh

(08:39):
my gosh, did you hear who got together? I like that.
I mean, it's all in how you say it. You
can choose to make it negative, like I can't believe
such and such hooked up with such and such. Gross.
You could say, oh my gosh, isn't it cute that
such and such hooked up with such and such? Okay,
it's all how you approach it.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Again, Gossip good for romance. Couples that gossip together stay together.
See We're good us touch and go. I don't know
what are your thoughts on this? If you can, might
leave us a talkback. Do you and your partner gossip
together and do you feel closer to them or does
it feel gross?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I'd like to let us know what the talkback.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
If you're streaming Star one on one three right now,
it's that little red migrapher.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
This is what I'm talking about. It's what's trending on
Star one one three.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
What's happening in entertainment news, the biggest stories of the
day and everything people are talking about today in the Bay.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
What's Trending is brought to you by cash Creek has
Seen a resort experience Live Entertainment where fun meets luxury
by tickets now at cashcreek dot com. So, during the
Taylor Swift New Heights Interview, which is the podcast, her
boyfriend Travis Kelsey has uh he talked about otters, how
much he loves the otters. So the Monterey Bay Aquarium
wants to work with the Kansas City Chiefs Guy to

(09:51):
bring awareness to the animal. One of the reps from
the aquarium says, they're not just cute, they are important
to the marine the ecosystem, and she wants to enlist
Travis to help educate the world. She wants to provide
more information if he wants to talk about it on
this podcast during Sea Otter Awareness Week, which is September
twenty first, the twenty seven. I didn't know that was

(10:12):
a thing. I didn't either. That's great, and the Monterey
Bay Aquarium of course, said hey, Taylor and Travis, you
welcome visit anything.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
And when they do visit Travis May, I say, here's
the move because I grew up down there. You go
to Fisherman's Wharf, you get your chowder, and then you
drive directly to a Silamar Beach. That's where all the
seatars hang out and have lunch. And there's nothing cooler
than you're sitting there eating and you look and you
hear the little tap tap yeah, and they're knocking the
abalony or whatever shell thing they're gonna eat, and they're

(10:42):
so cute out there.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
We were in Monterey not too long ago, and we
saw the sea lions. I didn't see the otters, but
I did see sea lions. Philamar Beach pinning air Bread
is also jumping on the Taylor Swift Train so she
revealed on the New Heights podcast that her latest hobby
is making sour dough. So under There Must Have Me,
you'll find the loaf story meal reminiscent of a fresh

(11:04):
baked love story. So there are three different types of
sour dough. There's Country Rustic, there's a bread bowl and
a French baguette. And they're also selling in my sour
dough era sweatshirts, which I think, you know you're smart.
This is a great time to be jumping on the
Taylor Swift marketing.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Band when I can say somebody's marketing team got a raise.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, like both of those, and I'm like, usually, you
know me, when something's oversaturated, I kind of get annoyed
with it, like with the Wicked Hoopla. This doesn't bother me.
You're cute though, Yeah, I'm happy for them. The University
of i Was Driving Safety Research Institute is looking to
pay people to drink and drive. I'm assuming this is
under a controlled setting. They want to study test vehicle

(11:46):
sensors that are designed to detect alcohol impairments. So these
will identify when a driver is drowsy, distracted, or impaired
by substances. Volunteers must have a valid driver's license, be
in good health, and prepared to drink a lot. They'll
get paid up eight hundred and twenty dollars. I love
a vehicle. I mean, our vehicle's so smart. Now if
they can drive, if they can sense that you can't drive, great,

(12:07):
So what do they do?

Speaker 1 (12:08):
They pull over and shut down? That'd be interesting, I
think so.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I think they would be as simple as just cutting
off the engine. Yeah, I mean, hopefully you're not in
the middle of the highway, but please, maybe you can't
even start the car. Who knows? Uh, what do I
have for you today?

Speaker 1 (12:23):
So the big to do in Golden Gate Park is
going to be the Zach Bryan concert. Zach Bryan is
in town with Kings of Leon. They're expecting thousands of
people again this weekend.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Is that just tonight or is it more than one?

Speaker 4 (12:35):
You drive?

Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's tonight, It's well, it's this afternoon, Okay, So three
o'clock is what they're saying is the start time.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
So just know that if you're in town.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
And you don't want to be anywhere near Golden Gate
Park unless you're going to the show, because it's gonna
get messy out there. Undoubtedly it is free Fridays today.
Do we team up with a different shelter around the
Bay this week? Got to say, what's up to our
people to the East Bay SPCA doing big things out there,
and they've got some.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Quties that need adopting.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yes, we have Bella, who's a two year old German
Shepherd mix so adorable. We have Tetsu, who's a very
sweet eleven year old, looks like a pity mix. And
then Macanac, who also is very sweet eight years old,
a black Labish type dog. I would say yes, Uh,
reminded to adopt, don't shop. If you want to look
at the cute pictures and get some adoption info, go

(13:20):
to Marcus Accori up on Instagram right now.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
This was a funny story to me.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
There was a Milwaukee Brewers fan this is baseball who
called nine to one one because he didn't get a
free burger that was promised.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Oh don't waste nine one one's time.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
So the whole thing popped off. There's a local burger
chain in Wisconsin that announced, basically, if the Brewers won
twelve games in a row, they would give the entire
state of Wisconsin free burgers.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
That's a bold claim.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
And they did it, and now the company has to
shell out about twenty five thousand pounds of beef to
make these burgers. Well, this one fan went to go
claim his burger before the game was over, so we
didn't get it, so we called nine to one one
that don't do that. Uh up on the Marcus Acrey
instagram as well, if you want to check out my
new podcast called Chef's Day Off and maybe elevate your

(14:11):
home cooking to restaurant quality. We are sitting down with
my guy chef, Matthew Dolan, and we have it's an
eight episode series. This week we're discussing sauces, So if
you have ever accidentally broken a holiday sauce, you want
to know how to fix it.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
There's a way.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
There's all kinds of good stuff there. Again, all the
information is on the Marcus at Corey instagram if you
wouldn't mind giving it a follow.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
She responded once, but then she didn't respond after that.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Okay, okay, this is what I'm thinking. Please. What he
doesn't realize is that Harper's actually an undercover cop and
he or she is posing as a kindergarten teacher in
order to apprehend a major drug lord. And also his
accomplice is his mother, the drug lord, and his accomplised
is his mom, And so while pretending to be a

(16:22):
kid friendly teacher, he falls or she falls for fellows.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
I never heard you blow a theory this hard.

he like wanted to discuss every single thing that we
ordered and like everything on the tab and he was
incredibly aggressive about it because we showed up like twenty
minutes before happy hour ended, so then the prices went
up and he didn't like that and was like incredibly

(19:45):
aggressive to the server. It was so uncomfortable. I've never
seen anything like it.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Okay, that's free.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
They wouldn't they need to tell you that kind of stuff.
But also it's like it wasn't even that aggressive. It
just that they knew that they could just keep up.

Speaker 5 (19:59):
The so uncomfortable, I would not be able to go
to a restaurant with you again. It was so awkward.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
I mean happy hour was technically over, yes.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
But we started in happy hour. We ordered before happy hour.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Yeah, happy hour in right, So I don't know, like
the cheap sort of attitude. And then I'm just like,
it was fun, but you very quickly made me picture
a life together that I don't want to live. Like
it was so uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
I just don't under see why it matters, Like, technically
we were there before happy hours. Restaurants are hurting everywhere
you're a waiter, Like why should they care? I just
think there's nothing wrong with directness, Like, yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
Look, there's a difference between being direct and being uncomfortable,
and I was extremely uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
I've heard enough. Hang on, that was over before it started.
I mean the thing is, there are rules when it
comes to happy.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Hours, sure, and self awareness also very key. FYI uh
second date up date seven oh five weekday mornings, you
get the replace at nine oh five. You got the
podcast that will be up there with the rest of them.
If you want to binge listen. It's literally called Marcus
Acory's second Date Update on the iHeartRadio app. You know
this more variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and
today it's Star one on one three. It's Marcus Acory

(21:14):
seven eighteen.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Good morning. There is a study that just made my day.
Tell me love languages. There are five different love languages,
and apparently over half of Americans say cleaning is their
love language.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
I don't is that on the list of love languages,
though it's online.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
The research from Seventh Generation finds that eighty five percent
consider cleaning up for someone else is an act of love. Okay,
so it falls under the the in the true traditional
love languages that we all learn from that one book,
that falls under the acts of service, right exactly, because
it's not actually cleaning, it's affation. The dishwasher is.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Not a true love language, but.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
It's an act of service. So the affirmation, quality, time,
physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts all the
different love languages. So technically, yeah, it's not up there.
But it really makes a difference because people who did
this study said they've been turned off by someone's messy home.
A third of ended a relationship because of a partner's

(22:18):
lack of cleanliness. There was a couple friend of ours,
my husband and I. We went and stayed with them
for an evening and we were like, never again, why
is that? We found like a weird crumpled up paper
towel in the sheets of the bed we were sleeping in.
They had a basil plant that smelled like cat urine.
There was all this crazy stuff on the counter. Their

(22:39):
dog would pee down the air conditioning vents. You asked,
people are eating I'm sorry, I was just explaining why
we would never you asked, So, if you really want
to impress your sweetie, one of the first simple things
you can do, do the dishes without being asked. They say,

(23:01):
it's equivalent to giving a dozen roses. In fact, it's
more romantic. I would rather have you do the dishes
than give me flowers. Do you want me to walk
to do the dishes. I don't want you to want
to do I don't want to ask you to do
the dishes. I just want you to do them. What
was that movie?

Speaker 1 (23:16):
I just quoted the Jennifer Aniston of Vince Varange. Yeah,
I want you to want to do the dishes.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Nobody wants to do the dishes, but you do it
emptying the dishwasher, bringing in the garbage cans, like you
know when you put your garbage cans out and you
come home from work and they're empty, but bringing them in.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's a true point of contention at my house that
I am apparently incapable of loading the dishwasher properly. And
the reason it's a point of contention, especially since we
just got a new dishwasher shout out to Airport Home Appliance,
thank you. My wife's very good at it, and she
has sent me YouTube videos to watch how to load
a dishwasher.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
And have you watched them? No? Oh, there it is.
Is she listening? I hope not.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
But I'm being honest, I'm not good at it, and
I have not made any overtures to try to improve myself.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
That's where that's that's the frustrating part is that you're
not even trying that she obviously this is important to
her enough that she sent you videos and you have
even given her the decency to watch though.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
May I say why though? May I defend myself?

Speaker 2 (24:21):
No? I mean sure, it's.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Because I know, no matter how hard I try to
load the dishwasher correctly, it's never going to be right.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
You are so full of it. No, that's how I feel.
The lamest excuse I've ever heard. I feel quit. Thank
you for validating my feelings. Not you quit before you started.
You never even watched one of those videos. Anytime I
try to load the dishwasher.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
She just got so I just said to myself, you
know what, you load it the way you like it,
and then we're good. I will continue to make cook
all the food. Why are you looking at.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Me like, I'm just really disappointed in you. She sent
you a video and you couldn't even give her the
courtesy of watching it to even try. You're not even trying.
You quit before you start it. AnyWho. Obviously you can
tell that this cleaning as a leve language is very
important to me, and I'm glad that my husband and
I are on the same page with like, because I
can't stand clutter. I cleaned before the cleaning person comes,

(25:17):
and floors, you know, when you have dogs, floors are
very important to you and cleaning ladies come in today.
It's it's I'm just saying, if you really want to
impress your significant other, go out of your way to
clean something without being asked, and don't quit before you start.
I hear your shame. Oh oh, disappointed in you. I'll

(25:39):
be better. No you won't.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
No, I will now that you've watched the video. Okay,
cleaning is your love language? Agree, disagree where we ad
on this, leave us a talk back. If you have
a moment. If you're streaming Star one on one three.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
It's time for good news with Marky.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Sometimes all you need is there one a good thought
to make it a great day.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
So let's do this. It's good news on.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Star Fun ones three.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
So we do good news twice in morning seven forty.
Just trying to just try to put a smile on
your face, set your day off right. It's up to
everybody back in that school drop off commute. Thank you
for tuning back in. We appreciate you very much. I
had a moment yesterday in Palo Alto that I wanted
to share because it was a moment I really needed.
In the moment, I'll explain, I was having a very
challenging day yesterday. I won't go into the details all right,

(26:34):
but by the time the afternoon rolled around, I was
just done with everybody.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I get it. I've had one of those days.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
And I had just a very cosmic moment happened and
I's okay. I'm on University Avenue. This is on the
corner of Emerson in University. There's a spot in Palo
Alto called Litton Park and it's cool. There's no real
grass there, but they have ping pong tables. You can
play ping pong, you could sit around, you can eat
your sandwich. And there was a kid there on his

(27:01):
guitar in a booth that I could only term was
a lot like Lucy and Peanuts Gang when she would
oh therapy, the therapy.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
It just like that.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
The doctor is in booth, okay. And I walked over
and I was like, what is this guy doing. He's
got pamphlet side, he's got some jars out. I'm thinking
he must be taking tips. He's just playing his guitar.
And I see this sign. Look at a sign on.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
The booth, what are three good things in your day today?
That's cute.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
And I looked at that and I went, dude, I go, hey,
what are you doing? Are you taking tips? He goes, no,
this is part of a mental health awareness campaign.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Love that on behalf.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Of one of the teachers at Stanford. He goes, I
just I write different questions on this board, and then
you were to write your answers on these cards. He
had some index cards in front of them, folded up,
put in this jar, and then I read them later.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
I turned them into songs. That's so incredible, and I
was like, I need that right now. What a great
spirit in mind?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
How do you think this person was to say college
like he's nineteen. If I had my wits about me,
I would have given him a better interview and given
him more plugs. But he'll probably be down there today again.
This is Litton Plaza on the corner of Emerson and
University in Palo Alto. I didn't get his name. I
was terrible yesterday. I didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Talk to him, not going on. That's the whole point, though,
is that it brightened your day with everything. You know,
a lot of times, if I'm ever feeling sorry for
myself or I'm stressed out, I just think I'm like
I have it so lucky. Yeah, I am so lucky.
I'm so blessed. I have nothing to complain about. And
when you do that, what are three good things in
your day? Seeing my dogs, Yeah, is always one of

(28:43):
the three.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
We talked about it a couple days ago, how affirmations are,
how powerful they are for your mindset. So I took
the pen and I wrote down the three good things
in my day today. My family is healthy, the sun
is out, I love my job. There you go, those
are the three things I wrote down. So, dude, I
don't know who you are, but he's doing good work
out there. Go visit him if you get a chance.
Seven forty three, we're gonna check what's trending coming up next.
