Vow Of Silence Summer
Gen Z women are swapping “hot-girl summer” for “vow-of-silence summer.” Instead of beach trips and dating apps, many are booking week-long stays at Catholic convents and monasteries, where they communicate only by writing notes or using simple hand signs. TikTok clips by early participants show peaceful gardens, structured prayer times, and long stretches of quiet that help them unplug from burnout, something researchers say hits about 250,000 Americans before age 30. The clips have sparked viral curiosity, filling guest lists months ahead and prompting jokes about an Airbnb-style app for convent beds. Commenters say the retreats feel like “therapy you can afford” and praise the nuns for welcoming visitors who just want stillness. Plus, the nuns are recruiting.

Interesting Observations in Paris
I forget how many people smoke in other countries...tons of smoking and vaping. It was really weird hear the Pirate of the Caribbean sing Yo ho, yo ho in French. No top sheets. Its the mattress cover and a duvet. Really stingy on ice and it was 98-degrees.

Second Date Update: Christian and Anna met through mutual friends. He even picked her up for the date. Did he pull a move in the car she didn't like?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Variety from the two thousands of the nineties and today
it's Star one oh one three, it's Marcus and Corey,
It's Tuesday. What's happening?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Ory was just in Paris the last couple of weeks.
How's that vacation hangover going?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
You know, I don't feel sick, but I've got like,
definitely a nose and a.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Throat thing happening.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
It run down.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
That's what Jeff said yesterday, my husband, he said your
run down. You in one hundred and ten percent for
two weeks.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh give me the rona.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
No, that's not it. Like I'm not achy. I don't
have any of those things. It's more just like my
body went Ai, you're fifty and you pushed it.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Are you guys? Were you there long enough to do
any French Did you bring any French things back that
you were doing while you were abroad, little idiosyncrasies that
only happened in Europe? Were you there long enough to
do that?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Is that a weird question?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
No? I think it's very easy for me to say
MILSI or uh bjuh. Yesterday tell one of my friends
came up to me and she's like, boucoir I'm like,
that means good.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Evening, too early for that.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
It's actually bojous good day. Uh. And it was fun
to do the whole French thing because I took it
in high school and college. You know, it's funny. It's
not like it used to be where we were so different.
You know, the different countries are so different. I really
think cell phones in social media have kind of put

(01:25):
us all on the same.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Level, just pervasive. Now, it's not just you were saying yesterday,
not just Americans that are routed.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Everybody's route, everybody's on the phone, everybody's on the phone.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I just remember coming back from Bora Bora after our
honeymoon and being just I missed it so much. And
I would walk in and you know, I only learned
a couple of Polynesian words, but irana means hello. Yeah,
And I just I missed the brunch, the food, my sister,
I missed the view.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
My sister texted me yesterday, She's like, what was your
favorite meal. I'm like, that's impossible. Yeah, you know, I
can't narrow that down.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Du coffee duck.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Confee is amazed. The tartar was amazing, The carpaccio, the
I mean.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Take me back, and I've never even been been there.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
You know what was hard though, is if we weren't
having French cuisine, it's hard to kind of say, oh,
this dish was amazing.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Because San Francisco has so many great restaurants.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's a good point Jeff was saying. You know, it's
hard to find somewhere else to try something because our
restaurants are just as good.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Friend of mine moved to Mexico and she's like, well,
you know what I missed from San Francisco is the
food scene. Because you can get great Mexican food in Mexico.
But what about everything else?

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, you know you can get everything.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Uh, just after six o'clock, lots of stuff going on
this morning. I gonna get you set up for some
adult time at the Mountain Winery. You want to come
see David Spade on July twelfth, The wife and I
will be there. My tickets just came in. I'm excited
about that.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I was just listening to some of his stand up
and it's he's really funny, it's really good.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I had forgotten because my wife is a big fan,
so I went online and watched some videos, I'm like,
oh yeah, he's a great storyteller. So those are coming
up at eight oh five with the trivia game. It's
called what you know about that? On the way next?
Well some after our own Hearts. Phrases you can use
to avoid more work. These are pro phrases you can
pop out when somebody asks you to do something you

(03:16):
don't want to do.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Do you think they work?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
We'll see, I'm gonna run and by you. You let me
know if he's will work okay? More variety from the
two thousands, the nineties, and today it's Star one oh
one three. It's Marcus and Corey. Good morning, Hi, thinking
about going to work this morning? Sure, you're going to
be in the office. Your boss is going to ask
you to take on another task, and you don't want to.
What do you say?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
This is really difficult because it seems to be very
common these days where they are cutting down on the
workforce and not necessarily hiring anyone to replace them, just
giving more work to the current employees.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
So these are phrases that people use to politely avoid
more work. I believe there are two types of people
in the workforce. There are the people that want to
take on more work because they think it will make
them more indispensable. Yes, that may or may not be
the case. And then there are the people that say,
if I learned how to do that, they're going to
ask me to do that, and I don't want that.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Problem is, though, you need to make yourself indispensable in
this time, I mean especially our jobs. I mean, if
they start to ask me to clean the toilets, I'm
probably gonna show it. Don't tell anybody that.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
So, oh, that'd be fun. Phrases people used to politely
avoid more work. You tell me if this would work.
Somebody comes and ask you to do something, and you say,
and I quote, I'd love to help, but my plate
is full right now.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
If it's true, if you're not lying, and you can
actually say, I've got a, B and C lined up right.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Now, you have, yeah, site some things because you and I.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Have said, hey, can we cancel our meeting today because
we've got sha, B and C.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
But if you just say that without backing it up,
and you don't sound genuine, what about this one?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Somebody asked you to do something, you said, let me
check my schedule. I'll get back to you. I mean no.
I know it means no, but is that a sufficient no?
That's my question.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's just gonna show your supervisor that you don't care.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'm gonna couple that with let me revisit this at
a later date.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
That doesn't mean anything. You know, it's funny. Oh god,
I hope no one that Jeff works with us. Listening,
We're back from vacation, my husband and I and so
we're like weeding through all these work emails and he's like,
you know what, if it's important, he'll email me again.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
He's not wrong.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Not here. You got to go through all of them.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
My out of office literally says, I'll have limited access
to email. That's typically a lie. Please hit me when
I return. That means I don't want to wade through
twenty six emails to find yours. If it's important, hit
me again on this.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
True.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's true. When you're on your vacation, you really shouldn't
be required check your email.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
All of these are so rich. We're going to run
out of time. Other ways for people to get out
of work if somebody asks you to do something, these
two can be coupled. Hey, I don't think I'm the
best fit for this, but I'd be happy to support
you in another way, or B that's outside of my
current scope, but I could help brainstorm my I don't
mind either of those because that's something I would say.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I don't mind the brainstorming ideas because you're trying to help, right.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
What I would say if somebody asked me to do
something and it was too much, I would say, hey,
that's not really my specialty. I'm happy to learn it,
but I don't want to slow the team down.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, I've kind of been in that situation lately because
I've been trying to play catch up and it hasn't
been a lot of people to teach me stuff. Sure,
and I get really insecure, so I have said I
don't feel comfortable, but please help me so I can
feel comfortable.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
And luckily we actually do work in a supportive environment
like all jokes aside, so that's pretty cool. Other ways
to avoid more work, you could say I'm stretched pretty
thin right now? Can someone else jump in?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Like who I was going to say?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Around here? There are only three of us, so it's
either me, you or the boss.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Two that won't work. I don't think I'm not going
to be able to take this on today and I
have other urgent priorities right now.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
What you have ample justify that? It's kind of just
it's dismissive. It's like what you're asking me to do
is not as important as what I want to do.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Oh here's my favorite dismissive. Hey, if this is urgent
and you might want to check with someone who's available,
bag to the face.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Better update your resume, get out the office. I hope
you've been looking on LinkedIn. That's that's the question. What
phrase do you use? Do you have a go to
to avoid taking on more work? And then coupled with
what would.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
You actually like to say?

Speaker 3 (07:33):
What would I like to say?

Speaker 4 (07:34):
I can't say.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
I hit us with a talka hit us with a
talkback on the iHeartRadio app that little red microphone. You
can leave us a quick note variety from the two thousands,
the nineties, and today it's Star one oh one three,
it's Marcus and Corey. Here is another trend for twenty
twenty five that I did not see coming, not at all.
Hear me out. Some gen Z women are flocking to
convents for the summer. Why swapping out hot girls? Summer

(07:59):
for what they're calling vow of silence summer.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Okay, Instead of going to the beach or sitting on
dating apps, many ladies are booking week long stays at
Catholic convents and monasteries where they communicate only by writing notes.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Or using simple hand signs. So basically a vow of silence.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Okay. But here's the thing that gets me. I think,
if you're doing a vow of science, that should include
social media.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
And okay, I'll get to that in just one second.
When I first read this, I was like, that feels disrespectful. However,
apparently the nuns are all for it. They're like, cool,
come on in, Okay, it must be some level of
like Catholic Airbnb. It feels disrespectful to me. To Corey's point,
if you're just showing up for the gram right to

(08:43):
show how cool you are or how tranquil you can be,
and you're making too much noise, yeah, it's gonna be
a thing. Not even noise, but like if you're a
distraction with your phone in the air.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
If you're se video, there's the wrong reasons if you're
really there to just quiet your brain and take a
break from all the noise, I get it, but you
better not be disrupting anybody by taking videos.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Talking about walking through peaceful gardens. There are structured prayer
times and long stretches of quiet that help people unplug
from burnout, which I guess is getting more pervasive here
in twenty twenty five. So again people are taking to
basically doing their vacations at monasteries and convents for silence.

(09:28):
As long as you're not crashing. This isn't some sort
of Catholic wedding crashers. No. At the end of the day,
nuns are such good people. They want to help you
and if this is what you need for help, but
you got to be respectful.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I would guess I saw a ton of nuns in Paris, yes,
last week. Yes, and not just one. There's all different
types of habits that they were wearing. So I don't
know if there was a nun convention, sure, but it
was just really cool. It was just something you're like,
oh my god, I'm not gonna say this anywhere, but Paris.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
I partied with some nuns not even a month ago.
So who says that I was mceing the Mercy High
School Berlin game annual fundraiser crab Feed. Okay, and the
nuns had their own table, and I walked right over
there and I said, hey, I know this is the
party table. Wow, And they all laughed. Good.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Please don't offend the nuns.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
No, they're the best at any rate. Hot Girl Summer's
out vow of Silent Summer is in there. You go.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Star one oh one three.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
This is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's what's trendin on Star on one three.

Speaker 7 (10:30):
What's happening in entertainment news, The biggest stories of the
day and everything people are talking about today in the Bay.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
The big story over the weekend, or one of them anyway,
was that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez had their fifty
million dollar wedding in Venice. Yes, and there were a
ton of celebrities that took private planes there, like Oprah,
Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady and even the citizens
of Venice had some criticism for this wedding and others.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Oh, the people of Venice protested. Yeah, did you see
the protest?

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I didn't see the protests.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Venis was already being overrun by tourists. Yeah, already being
you know, ecologically and otherwise destroyed, and then this happens, right, Yeah, you.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Got It's just the carbon footprint alone. It's just it's devastating.
Rosie O'Donnell went on Instagram and said, it turned my
stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in this gross excess.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
She said, Oprah's friends with Jeff Bezos.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Really he treats his employees with disdain. Charlie's Thearren joked
that people who got invited to the wedding quote suck.
Olivia mund took the high road, praising Bezos's ex wife
Mackenzie Scott for donating over nineteen billion to over sixteen
hundred charitable organizations. Ken Scott's boss, Olivia Munn, had previously
called out the all female spaceflight that Sanchez went on

(11:49):
with Bezos's space company Blue Origin as a gluttonis that
was the stupidest waste of money I ever saw, because
they didn't do anything scientific, they didn't study anything.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
They went up into space and write back down.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
I thought you were still talking about the wedding.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
No, no, I'm the space flight.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well would I do if I had that much money
for a wedding? I knowing my wife, it would be
ten people and it would be quiet and small and lovely.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
I would never spend that money on those so much awesome.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
And then we would take the remaining forty seven million
dollars and donate it to something. That's what my wife
would want. She is a good person.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
I just think, when you have that kind of money,
why wouldn't you donate and help.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I'm sure he does.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
You don't hear about it. You hear about his ex wife.
She's the baller.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
We'll see.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Vin Diesel is teasing another Fast and Furious. I think
we're on number fifty two at this point. Saturday Night,
Diesel in his co stars Tyrese Gibson and Cody Walker
wor at fuel Fest, which is a car enthusiast event
in Pomona.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's the way he teased it. That was a little
off silter.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
He was talking about how the studio asked him about
the finale of Fast and Furio.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
They want it by April twenty twenty seven, and he
said he had three conditions.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
First, bring the franchise back to La second, returned to
the car culture street racing, and the third was bringing
back Paul Walker's character.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
I don't know how you do that without CGI? And
does CGI ruined the.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Movie he passed away in twenty thirteen.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
I don't really watch those movies. Do they use a
lot of CGI already with the car scenes?

Speaker 2 (13:25):
I don't watch those movies either.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
My dad loved them.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
I mean, I'm sure they're fun.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
It's not my cup of tea, But I just I
hope that this is something they would talk to the
family about.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
In Paul Walker's family would be like, Okay, we're on board.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Sure, because I think he has a daughter, Paul Walker,
Yeah he does.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Does How would she feel about this?

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Sometimes it weirds me out when you see somebody you
know has passed away and all of a sudden they're
in a current movie and you're like, sure what? And
speaking of movie news, the Devilwars Prodded Too is now
in production, and luckily, Meryl Streep and Hathaway and only
Blunt and Stanley Tucci are all officially on board anything
with the tuc I'm down. Also joining is Kenneth Branna,

(14:07):
who will play husband to Streeps Miranda Priestley's character.

Speaker 8 (14:10):
Now.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
The original came out in two thousand and six. The
sequel will hit theaters May first.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
I care for it.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
I am too.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
I mean all of those people would not be on
board unless they did it right.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I once stood in a bookstore, and I'm that bookstore customer.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
That you hate.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
I read the whole book standing there by the book rack.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
He didn't pay for it. That helps the author a lot.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Just saying it out loud makes my teeth hurt.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
I'm a better person now, I swear.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Good news if you are a fan of Lewis Capaldi.
He's back after a two year hiatus to battle. It's just, hey,
I was having struggling with mental issues like he's been
dealing with Tourett's his whole life, and so I don't
know if you remember this, but a couple of years
ago at the Glastonbury Festival, he actually broke down, wasn't
unable to sing. The fans had to jump in and

(15:00):
sing for him. It was a very touching moment. But
then he took a couple of years off to focus
on his mental health and he is back. He's going
on Good Morning America on Monday, and then he's going
on tour Good for him, and you know, on this
show we like to normalize, you know, talking about mental
health struggles and so this is this is big for us.
I dig that, dude. So I don't see any US

(15:21):
dates yet, but I will keep you posting. Speaking of
music and concerts and stuff in festivals, the iHeartRadio Music
Festival just announced reasenting tickets have just recently gone on
sale at AXS dot com. But this lineup is gonna
be so much fun ed Shearan, Jelly Roll, Lil Wayne, Mariah,
Maroon Five, Tay McRae, Tim McGraw and more in Las

Vegas t Mobile Arena And this is going to be
the nineteenth and twentieth of September, so mark the date,
grab your tickets again. AXS dot com is the spot.
Don't miss out on that. That's going to be awesome.
And then speaking of traveling, air travel is going to
see record numbers this year. So six of the top
ten travel days ever have already happened, and they're expecting

(16:07):
eighteen and a half million people to pass through TSA
screeners during the July fourth holiday.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
That's that's so huge.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Like the second your boss sends out that hey, you
can go ahead and go now email bye. I would
bounce or even sooner. On the Marcus and Corey Instagram,
Corey did post an epic carousel of photos as promised.
I think there are like twenty pictures here from your
trip to France.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
It was it was really fun and I just I
know they're kind of random photos, but ask me questions
if you want to know what it is and where
it is. There were public people like did you go
to an ironman showed? I was like, no, actually that
was at the bar of the Marvel Hotel.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
I don't think of Disneyland Paris, but apparently it exists
and a lot of our listeners have been there. Based
on the comments, a lot of people in our listening
family have been there. Lots of pictures of your husband too,
most of I've received in one place. I'm sure he
really appreciated that. Oh he tried to us to get
out of photos. You can see it all right now.
Follow Marcus and Corey up on Instagram. Thanks you.

As explained by Corey. Tell us about the date though,
First of all, how did you guys meet?

Speaker 8 (17:59):
So we were set up through mutual friends and yeah, yeah,
really cool kind of number. We texted back and forth
for a couple of weeks before we decided to go.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Out for lunch.

Speaker 8 (18:11):
Shape and she doesn't live far from me. I'm in
Walnut Creek, so I offered to pick her up. She
was cool with that because you know, I had been
vetted by friends, and we went out and I can
honestly say the date went off without any hiccups, really,
like never ran out of conversation. We laughed a ton,

(18:32):
had a lot in common, Like I was truly looking
forward to going out with her again. I totally thought
that we were on the same page.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
But and she's literally for whatever reason.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
Yeah, yeah, just straight up ghost to me.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Okay, Okay, here's what I'm thinking, be.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
Like, hey, what's going on? But I don't know, it
seemed kind of immature. I much rather get your guys' advice.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Anyway, Harry Nino two and oh, he'd rather call the
radio station.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
I don't know if that's nine two and oh, but
it's one way to go.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
So, Corey, what are your thoughts?

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Okay, So Anna's been checking out downtown and unknowingly, she
stumbles upon an intergalactic terrorist who's trying to assassinate ambassadors
from opposing galaxies, and an unofficial government agency neuralizes her
and she forgets all about Christian.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
It could happen, we'll see.

Speaker 8 (19:29):
That's That's exactly why I called you, guys, because that's it.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, you knew Corey would figure it out easy as pie.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Also, Men in Black nailed it.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Oh you're so excited.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
H I don't know if you understand this, Christian. I
never watch movies and I always get tripped up. But
here I am.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
I'm not giving you hard ones there, Uh, Kubrick.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I'll tell you what. Let's call her and figure out
the real deal. Can you hang on the line for
a song of cour excellent? All right, we're gonna give
her a shout. See what happened. We'll do it next.
It's Second Date updates Star one oh one three right
from the two thousands of the nineties, and today it's
Star one on one three. It's Marcus and Corey doing
Second Date Update. Really nice conversation with Christian. He's bombed
because he met this chick Anna through mutual French, which

(20:13):
irl is the best way to meet people, in my opinion,
in real life.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
It just doesn't happen that much these days.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
No, and you guys had a great date. You both
live in wander Creek. This kind of has to work,
And we don't really want to reach out to the friends.
We want to try to figure this out as adults,
right as in, let's reach out to strangers. Let's do that. Christian,
are you ready to do this?

Speaker 4 (20:34):
I'm ready?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
All right, Okay, take a deep breath. Mutual phone. We're
gonna call her and see if and why she ghosted.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Here we go, Hello, Hi, may speak with Anna?

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Please? Yes, Hi, Anna. It's Marcus and Corey from Star
one oh one three.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Hi guaranteed and is at work right now. She has
her professional voice calling are you hearing?

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Are you? Are you familiar with our radio show?

Speaker 9 (21:10):
Actually I'm not.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
No, Okay, it's okay. So we're out of San Francisco,
but we cover the whole Bay area and we do
a segment on our show called Second Date Update, and
we understand that you have just gone on a first
date recently with a gentleman out of Walnut Creek that
was introduced to you by some friends. Wondering if you
could discuss the date. Do you have a moment? It's goofy,

(21:31):
I know, thank you. So his name is Christian. He
would love to take you out again, but he's feeling
like he's getting ghosted, and we're just trying to figure out, like,
how did the day go from your perspective? Did you ghost?

Speaker 6 (21:49):
Okay, it's actually kind of sad because I actually I
had a good time. We had had a really good
time with him. Actually, okay, yeah, we're pretty compatible. So
I didn't want to ghost because I definitely thought a
second date like was gonna happen. Okay, I did end

(22:10):
up ghosting him. Sorry, I couldn't be laughing about him,
but no, but that is what happens.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, that's what we want to know. Why.

Speaker 9 (22:18):
Yes, okay, uh, this sounds is silly, but that is
what it is. I'm on the way home. He started
playing some music off of his phone and it was
country music. And I really really disliked country music, like
it actually physically annoys me. I really struggle with like

(22:39):
even hearing the country.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
So yeah, you know what's funny, it's a wheelbreaker.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
We get in the car and my husband's phone will
kick in and it's country, and I'm like, you have
to change this immediately.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Oh I have to be listening with my earbuds, especially
if we're on a family trip. I mean, there's gotta
be a workaround for this. Did you like him though?
Did you like him?

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (23:01):
I definitely, Yeah, I like him a lot. Actually, I
just can't imagine could be in a relationship with somebody
who preferred country music like that feels.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Music? Is they like him?

Speaker 9 (23:14):
I like him?

Speaker 1 (23:16):
I mean, I guess, but like it's also really hard
to meet people, Hannah.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
She would to spend the rest of her life with
that twang.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
All right, Well, just can we bring him on now? So, Anna,
here's the thing about second date update. I know you're new,
but Christian is actually listening right now. He's probably dying inside.

Speaker 8 (23:33):
Ah, Christian, Yeah, I'm here, Anna, Hey what that would
go on? Likefle I swear that country music isn't the
only thing that I listened to.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, my guy really likes you like a lot, and
he should just be listening to stars. I mean technically,
so we don't like him that much right now either,
to be fair, I'm just kidding, okay, okay, So.

Speaker 8 (24:03):
If country is a deal breaker, I will take it
out of the rotation completely.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Wow, he's going to make his anime mix.

Speaker 9 (24:12):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Can we make an Ani mix from the iHeartRadio app set?
Our an a preset?

Speaker 9 (24:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
You should?

Speaker 9 (24:20):
No country for.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
The Queen, No country, don't go overboard. It's too late.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
So what are we saying here?

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Anna?

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Can Christian get a second date.

Speaker 9 (24:31):
Yes, definitely can get a second date, especially with this
new information of the excellent off the.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Table, Cory, are you even ready with the cowboy?

Speaker 3 (24:42):
You have to dust it off. It's been a minute.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
It has been the cow bell of destiny only gets
wrong when there's a second date.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
This is great you guys bringing people together. Well, have
the best time and keep us posted.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Okay, awesome, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Hang on you guys. That was cute.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, it's nice to have a win.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
We haven't had one in a while. Totally. Anyway, Second
Date updates seven oh five weekday mornings. You replace it
nine oh five. As you know, got a podcast. You
can actually set a preset for Marcus and Corey's Second
Date update. It's over one hundred thousand downloads a week.
I just audited it. Whoa, yeah, dude, love it. Thank
you guys for this important appreciate you, dude or variety

(25:25):
from the two thousands, the nineties, and today It's Star
one oh one three Marcus and Corey seven to twenty
Tuesday morning. Corey, just back from France, where you spent
a couple of weeks. I'm always fascinated because I've never
been anywhere. So one of the things that I want
to know as someone who is enjoying your stories is like,
what are the interesting idiosyncrasies that you notice in Europe

(25:47):
that maybe we don't have here in the States.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
It's funny. I would put it all in my notes
in my iPhone. Whenever I'd see something that just caught
my eye, I was like, oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
And it's not weird. It's just either culturally or intrinsically
different than it is here. Give me an example, Well,
you forget.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
That no one can smoke here within like fifteen feet
of a building or something like that.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Five I think what it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Doesn't matter, but uh, everybody's smoking, right, you forget that.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
But it's funny because you just told me this morning.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Just this morning, they outlawed I want to say, playgrounds
and beaches, you can no longer smoke in France. Apparently
smoking is the national pastime of France. It's everywhere.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I remember when I was in Germany and I got home,
I had a leather jacket I to throw away because
I just couldn't get the smell out.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
So and in the number of people that are excited
about this, they say it is for as the children
is good. There are a lot of people who are
upset because you're taking their rights away maybe, and a
lot of restaurant tours are saying this is going to
hurt business.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
The cafes, you know, the famous for their cafes, all
have ashtrays on the table.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
They're outside, they're not inside, but the doors are open.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
So sure.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Another thing I noticed is they're very stingy on ice. Okay,
and this isn't just France, because my husband experience this
in Italy, Like you have to ask for ice they
want even.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
During this giganty. They just had a gigantic heat wave
two days ago. It was one hundred and fifteen in
southern Spain and you still can't get any ice without asking.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
It was like ninety eight degrees and we had to
ask for ice. We were ordering certain drinks because we
knew they had ice in them, like a Moscow mule. Okay,
so I was just gonna ask with a cocktail. They
don't give you a lukewarm cocktail, dude. No, But if
you order water, it's not coming with ice unless you
ask for it. And they're they're if they do it themselves.
There's gonna be like three cubes. If you get a

(27:34):
coke zero, there's gonna be like three cubes in it.
Huh weird. But you know if you ask where, they'll
do it.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
One thing that I thought was very bizarre, so I
told you with Disneyland Paris, we're on the Pirates of
the Caribbean ride and hearing them seeing yo ho yo
ho in French is so weird.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Can you recreate that? Or no?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
No, I can't. But there's Johnny Depp in the corner going.
So there's Do we.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Sound horribly uncultured right now?

Speaker 3 (28:04):
It's possible because I embraced a lot.

Speaker 8 (28:08):
No.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
I loved it. I love everyone was so nice.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
I had the most amazing experience, and I just immersed
myself in it. We went to this one restaurant one day.
We're just walking down the street and decided to get
something to eat. And we sat down and the server
came by and I said, uh, parle and he said way,
And he'd actually lived in Sacelito. That means, do you
speaking she lived in lived in Saslito. So we got

(28:32):
a little street kept cred on that one. Because he
asked where you're from? We said San Francis.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Is this the server that was unbelievably honest with you? Yes, okay,
tell me more.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Here's another thing. When people ask you where you're from,
don't just say California, say San Francisco. There's a big
difference between no Cow and so. So I asked what
the pasta of the day was and he said, it
is cabanelma. But you don't order that because this is Bali.
You order French food. You get pasta in.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Italy, so it's on the menu, but you can't work.

Speaker 8 (29:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
I said, well, what would you recommend it?

Speaker 3 (29:05):
He's like the coffee, the coffee.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
I said, I'm down. Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
And it might be an international incident.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
My husband tried to order one of their specials, which
was tripe sausage.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, and he goes.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
You will not like that. You're American, you will not
like that.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
What okay, sir, that is a broad generalization and I'm
slightly offended.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
It's intestines, okay.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Did Jeff know that?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
No?

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Oh, he thought it was just a regular sausage.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Okay. Was the server correct? Would Jeff not have liked it?

Speaker 2 (29:34):
He?

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Jeff looked it up and said I'm glad I didn't
get that.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
So okay, we're out here saving lives then.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
So you get a different kind of sausage that's more traditional.
And I just loved how honesty was. He was like, no,
no pasta for you give me one more. Okay, let's
see no ac anywhere. But that's that's not really.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Another thing that this was, this is gonna sound negative.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
We would be out and about and I'd see someone
sneeze and they don't cover their mouths, and I don't
think this is French. This was because when we were
at Disneyland, all types of people were there, all different
kinds of people from everywhere. But there was this one
guy who kept coughing in Disneyland and I almost said something.
I was like, cover your mouth, dude.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
I was in the grocery store the other day and
almost said something. There was a guy hovering by the
onions and I needed some onions. I walked over. Just
as I was getting there, he just sneezed all over everything.
I literally emptied my bag and left post COVID. That
is just such a no post.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Being eight years old, true, cover your mouth, cover your mouth.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
So it was just so fun. I love going different places,
I mean even in the United States. I feel very
blessed that my husband and I have been able to
live like almost sure every quadrant of the country.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Sure, and because San Francisco's our favorite.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
There's a really fun carousel of photos. Corey uploaded about
eighteen photos of her and her husband. I have not
seen this many pictures of the Jeff your husband ever.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
He tried to avoid it too, because he's like, let
me take a picture of you, and I'm like, no,
I want you in it too.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
You can check that out on the Marcus and Corey Instagram.
Please give it a follow up.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
What's nice, though, is he has very long arms, so
I don't need to carry a selfie study. He is
my self stick.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
He's so functional that the world's greatest husband. It's time
for good news with Marcus and Corey.

Speaker 7 (31:23):
Sometimes all you need is one a good thought to
make it a great day.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
So let's do this.

Speaker 7 (31:29):
It's good news on Star one one three, and.

Speaker 1 (31:33):

Speaker 3 (31:55):
A story out of Florida because Florida gets bad.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Rat sure, But on Sunday this you've probably this because
it's been went national. Father jumped in the ocean to
save his daughter after she fell overboard from a Disney
Dream cruise ship. They were going from the Bahamas and
Fort Lauderdale and it was on the final leg of
a four night cruise. The dad treaded water for over
ten minutes with his daughters and his arms before our

(32:18):
rescue crew could reach them. Because if you think about it,
it's a huge ship. They've got to get the emergency
rescue boat down into the water and get to where
they are.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Emergency alert was issued. Crew members responded quickly.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
They tossed life for servers into the sea before the
boat get to them. And the thing that's crazy is
the reaction from the passengers. They're like people crying in
tears of joy because everybody's okay.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Well, you know, from being honest, like that could have
ended badly.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Well.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
You hear a lot of stories of adults maybe falling
overboard at night and no one with them, not knowing
the fact that they acted so quickly.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
This ended very, very well. Disney Line Cruises.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Issued a state praising their crew for swift action that
led to the safe return of both guests. We don't
know how the child fell, because you know, they've got
so many safety barriers.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Sure, but Dad's a hero. No hesitation, zero. I would
have to be physically restrained, Like if the crew was like, don't, sir,
let us handle it. No, I don't know. I don't
I'd have to be physically restrained. Dude, I was my child.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
I would do that for my dog.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I told her last night, You're my only one.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
I mean, that's the thing. I mean, that's that's what.
There's no thinking, it's all action. Yeah, you're gonna do
it anyway.
