Speaker 1 (00:00):
More variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today
it's Star one on one three, It's Marcus right before
six o'clock. Today is a watershed moment on the show,
as I can tell that my new producer, Taylor is
getting very comfortable because you have been a cavalcadi of
information this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I have.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I really just a chatterbox. I've learned so many things.
I've learned why Taylor won't go Instagram official with her
new man when she gets one, because it's just too
emotionally stunting when they start scrolling back on her ig.
I learned that she wants a dog. I learned that
she wants to complete the sleeve tattoo wise with tattoo
dedicated to her mom. What else did I learn today?
(00:36):
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
No, I tried flopped us for the first time.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I tried flapped us for this first time. Shout out
the top dog?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Top dog?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Underdogs?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Underdogs too? Yeah? Where is that?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
That's in the sunset?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, yeah, sounds I love flopped.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Us, flopped us as good?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, welcome anything else want to share with the class
while we're here. She has a lot of things running. Literally,
if you have a coworker that's just like pink pink, pink,
pink pee and pem peep. I'm usually that guy. And
she's been sitting here quietly, probably overwhelmed by me or whatever,
for the last couple of months. And now here we are.
I know it's a watershed moment.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Welcome, thank you, glad to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Trying to think if I have an anything else to
report from last night? Not really, what did we do?
I got home, Oh what a fun day. Yesterday I
went to the doctor, which that part sucked. I have
a I'm such a five year old. The doctor told
me to quit biting my nails. I got an infection
in my finger. Not going to talk about it, goodness,
but I'll be fine. And then I went to get
(01:33):
my favorite bottle of tequila for those that know, I
found a bottle of Forte Lais of ripplelsa though. And
then I was rolling by a buddy's house and I
was like, hey, man, you got time for a quick one,
So I brought we drank. We used to drink in
the driveway during the pandemic, so that's our thing. So
I stopped by, had a quick shot with him. His
wife made me a perogi oo and then I went
home and brought burgers and that was it. That was
(01:54):
my night.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Wow, a magical evening.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That was a magical evening. Lot's happening. Thank you for
waking up with this. Will be back. We were talking
about this yesterday, but I thought it was worth talking
about again. I think it'll be super helpful for a
lot of people. Holidays are here and every weekend is packed.
How do you prevent social burnout during the holidays? If
you have a thought on this eight hundred, eight hundred
and one O one three, May I present what they
(02:17):
call the merry rule. Now, Producer Taylor is here. We
must have found this on TikTok because it's not twenty
twenty five. If there is an acute acronym. Here's how
the marry rule works. The next time you get invited
to something, and may I ask Producer Taylor. You're very social.
Do you ever get overwhelmed with the number of invites?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Absolutely, I am right now.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Okay, because as you get older, like literally, it takes
an act of congress for me and my wife to
get off the couch and go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I have to mentally prepare for these things sometimes.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Okay, So the number one thing, this is the filter
you want to run through, the merry rule. Number one money,
Can I even afford this activity?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Probably not, given that that's the holidays, right.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Number two energy? Ask yourself, check your own energy levels.
Do you have the energy? Are you drained? And if
you don't, consider saying no. The power of no is
epic literally the marriage the merry rule. The next is return.
Are you going to get out of it what you
(03:16):
put in? As I always say, does it fill your cup?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I have a friend who has a saying if it
doesn't fill my cup or fill my wallet, I'm not
doing it. Oh she'll go out and get paid, or
she'll go out and fill her own cup. Other than that,
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The next r is recovery. Will you have enough time
to listen to your body to recover from whatever this
activity that you couldn't afford in the first place that's
robbing your energy is? And finally, it's all about you, baby.
Have you thought about how you want to spend your
holiday season? You don't have to agree to plans you
won't enjoy, even though it might be hard. To say no.
(03:52):
Let's go back to the power of no. Say it
with me.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I don't think my mom's gonna like this one. She's
gonna be like, h what's your.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So you try to cancel your mom party this week?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Whoops? Sorry mom? The merry rule during the holidays to
prevent and burn out. There you go. I know that
this next thing is supposed to be helpful, supposed to
get me out like centered or something, but when I
read it, I felt very unaccomplished. It says, get these
work things done this week to unplug over the holidays.
Produce totat with me on the microphone and follow her
online at Taylove. You want to meet the newest employee
(04:24):
here at Star one on one three, let's see. Because
for me, I'm just trying to get to tomorrow. I'm
just trying to get my Christmas presents in the mail
on time. But these people are talking about here are
some things you need to be doing in order to
truly unplug. Number one, wrap up major projects. How many
major practices you have unwrapped right now? Full stop?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Gosh, too many to count.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
And then after you wrap up all your projects, you
have to look ahead to Q one, It says, so, like,
what do you got going on in January?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Oh gosh, don't make me think that far.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
How does February look for you?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I'm scared?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
What about March?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
No, you're giving me anxiety.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Make sure while you're doing this that you have time
to list your accomplishments and celebrate them. Clean out your inbox.
Oh god, you want to guess how many unread emails
I have in my inbox right now?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Oh, my gosh, it's probably not as many as mine.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Eighty six thousand, four Marcus eighty six thousands. God, anxiety,
raise your hand.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I thought I was bad with my two thousand, eighty
six thousand, No wonder I.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Never heard from you.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
While you're wrapping up your major projects and looking ahead
to Q one and cleaning out your inbox, make sure
that you add a few connections to your network and
organize your desktop. And then while you're doing all of this,
please deep clean your workspace. Oh, don't forget to update
your resume. You're not allowed to do this, but everybody
else can, even if you're not job hunting. Other than that,
(05:42):
take it easy, man, it's the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, that's easy.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Easy, I guess you know how long I've been trying
to organize my desktop.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Whoever wrote this doesn't work for a living?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
No, right, how does it feel to be unemployed?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
This is what I don't talk about. What's trendan on star,
what's happening in entertainment news, the biggest stories of the day,
and everything people are talking about.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Today in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Something fun on TV Tonight, The iHeart Radio jingle Ball
will be airing on ABC, starring our boy Ed Sharon Hell.
You got Nellie tonight, Monsta x Renee Rap, You've got
our current studio obsession, Olivia Dean who we adore am

That'll be fun anyway, that's going to be going on tonight.

which will then be on Hulu for you to stream
starting Manyana, Robert de Niro gonna be there, Tiffany hats
going to be there. Should be a good time. Make
sure you're tuned in. You can always check it out
download the free iHeartRadio app. The show Girl Scout Cookie
reveals their new flavors for twenty twenty six. Get ready
(06:53):
because cookie season is almost here.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Shout out to my daughter, who year after year is
the number one coast side cookie seller and I'm so
since she was like five, she's amazing. That's awesome. So
we're saying goodbye to Toast Yea's, which I'm kind of
bummed about. These were French Toast inspired little icing cookies.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't wish I ever had those ones since.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Rip.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Also, the s'mores are going away, but we do have
a brand new flavor called Rocky. It's a Rocky Road
inspired cookie called an explore More. Okay, it's gonna be
marshmallows with toasted almond cream sandwich between cocoa cookies.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I know who to hit up for cookies.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
No, no, for sure, don't even not even not even joking.
So let's see. All the fan faves will be back,
Thin mints, samoas, tag alongs, so good, Trefoyle's all sticking around.
Cookie season kicks off in January. They will be sold
locally until Aprilo. Online ordering will be big. We've been
talking about Utopia a lot this week to Topia two.
(07:53):
This is kind of funny and kind of scary. So
there is a blue pit viper character from the movie
If You Saw It, who is now sparked demand for
the real life venomous snake in China. No, I guess
they're selling them. Since the nin movie debut, the the
sales have spiked. They're going for as much as four
hundred and twenty dollars. Experts are warning against having severely
(08:18):
venomous snakes in your house. Not gonna kill you, but
it's gonna it's gonna hurt.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I think I'll have to pass on that line.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Let's see what else. So locally here in the Bay,
there was a three vehicle crash westbound five eighty in
year Castro Valley, which then sent an unoccupied car flying
off a tow truck that then landed on the BART tracks,
which has now got us down to single tracking.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I saw a video of that through.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
The Castra Valley station. You're gonna get there if you're
taking BART, but it's gonna be delayed, probably for the
rest of the day. BART can't catch a break.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I know. It's like something new every day.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That is the most freak of freak accidents. But if
you're riding Bart, we're feeling for you. If you're working
for Bart trying to deal with this, we're feeling for you.
If you can work from home today, today might be
the day. Keep that in mind. Cute story about our
girl Olivia Rodrigo, who we also adore in the studio.
She says she lived some real life fanfic with Harry Styles.
(09:18):
Let me explain because I was today years old when
producer Taylor explained to me what fanfic was. Can you
please do it in like one line.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Fan fiction is when you write a story about someone
you know, celebrity you know, and it's a fake story.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Okay. So she admitted that she wrote fan fiction in
elementary school about Harry Styles and then met him in person.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
You like got tea and we like walked around and
I got home and I was like, I feel like
I like wrote that in a fan fiction and I
like lived it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Like that is so crazy how that can happen in
your life.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
And he's so sweet. I can't even imagine, Like I
wrote the story about this celebrity that I used to
be a stand for, and then we met in person
and had tea and walked away.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Right, how does it feel to live my dream?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
We have a poll up right now, our daily poll
on the Star one on one three fm Instagram. What
are we celebrating today and what are my choices? Producer,
tailor and what's the question.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yes, we are celebrating superheroes today, so we're asking what
is the superpower of your choosing? Would you want invisibility, telepathy,
super strength or teleportation? I talk about teleportation at least
once a day. Yeah, I love teleporting.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
We could stay in bed longer. Not the commute would
be non existent. Right, just blink your eyes and be
in the studio.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It would be amazing, especially here trying to be here
on time.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, I would laugh if you forgot to get out
of your pajamas before your eyes, I would take invisibility,
I think. Really Okay, anyway, make your choice. Go to
the Star one one three fm Instagram. It's in the stories.
It's our daily poll, and that is what's trending. It
is time for second date update. Trying to put people together.
You go on a first date, you get ghosted on,
You call me and then we'll call this person together.
(11:01):

you met on Hinge, and I understand that she's ghosted.
So let's talk about the date itself. What did you
guys do?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
So we went to dinner in the city. She looked incredible,
laughed at all the jokes and stuff, and even told
me that she felt like a little spark and then,
you know, then evening kind of closed out rapidly and
then that was it kind of you know what I mean.
So it's like you think you're going and doing good
and then boom, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:33):

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Like literally Wifey literally in all caps okay, and I

Speaker 7 (15:34):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Got it. Why is this such a common theme? Is
this a cuffing season or something? I don't know what's anyway?
Second date update? All these days meld together as we're
getting ready to travel for the holidays. Am right, Yes,
good morning. Producer, Taylor is here.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Please follow the show at It's Marcus d on Instagram.
Taylor is at Taylorve with two ease. This is the
TSA's guide to which holiday gifts won't make it through security.
Let's say you go somewhere exotic and you want to
bring back a present, and then you get to the
TSA and you're wondering, can I bring this through? Number
one on the list wrap gifts. I know it's nice
(16:11):
to arrive with your presence already wrapped, but they need
to be open for inspection. Nothing would break my heart
more because I hate wrapping presents. To do a solid
job a gift wrap and then have the TSA have
to rip that open and check it out. So just
something to keep in mind. They always suggest gift bags
instead of wrapping paper. By the way, one of the
things on this list is going to give me a PTSD.
I'll explain electronic gifts. If you're giving a laptop, gaming system,
(16:34):
or even a coffee maker, pack them in your carry
on because they will need to be X rayed. Pack
them in an area that is accessible in case of inspection.
Baked goods, Christmas cookies, cakes, pies, and fruitcakes are fine
to get through security checkpoints because they're all solids. This
is where it went sideways for me on a trip
back from Maui in two thousand and seven. You cannot
(16:58):
bring preserves, maple syrups, champagne, eggnog, need to go through
a check bag because these liquids are in spreadables aren't
allowed on board. I tried to bring through a jar
of handmade guava jelly from Maui one time. Interesting and
the the lady I thought I had her. The lady
at the checkpoint was Philippine. I said, Tita, please pleaan
(17:22):
let me. She said no, I'm so sorry. I said, well,
you take it home and enjoy it with your family.
It's fine, it says, here's the rule of thumb. If
you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it,
or pour it, and it's larger than three point four ounces,
it needs to be packed in a check bag. Uh.
This is my other favorite. Casse Roles and meats should
be fine in a carry on, but gravy and sauce
(17:44):
have to be in a check bag. Who in the
world is traveling with a castle? Do people do that?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Also? How did they find that out? It's like who
was bringing gravy?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
If you have ever rolled through TSA with gravy. I
need to hear from here because you're my people, first
of all. And then finally, there are some it says,
there are some surprising things that you can't bring for example,
something nobody thinks about. Say you get a beautiful snow
globe from you know, Norway or something, and you want

puppy who was left abandoned in a box outside of
a SPCA in Philadelphia that has now found their forever home.
The story starts out super sad, so I guess they
(19:55):
were left in a in a U haul box outside
the SPCA. The owner said that they were facing eviction.
They no longer had any way to house the puppy
and said that the note said, I have no other option.
It's either eviction or I have to let the dog go.

as I can tell that my new producer, Taylor is
getting very comfortable because you have been a cavalcadi of
information this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I have.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I really just a chatterbox. I've learned so many things.
I've learned why Taylor won't go Instagram official with her
new man when she gets one, because it's just too
emotionally stunting when they start scrolling back on her ig.
I learned that she wants a dog. I learned that
she wants to complete the sleeve tattoo wise with tattoo
dedicated to her mom. What else did I learn today?
(00:36):
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
No, I tried flopped us for the first time.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I tried flapped us for this first time. Shout out
the top dog?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Top dog?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Underdogs?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Underdogs too? Yeah? Where is that?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
That's in the sunset?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, yeah, sounds I love flopped.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Us, flopped us as good?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, welcome anything else want to share with the class
while we're here. She has a lot of things running. Literally,
if you have a coworker that's just like pink pink, pink,
pink pee and pem peep. I'm usually that guy. And
she's been sitting here quietly, probably overwhelmed by me or whatever,
for the last couple of months. And now here we are.
I know it's a watershed moment.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Welcome, thank you, glad to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Trying to think if I have an anything else to
report from last night? Not really, what did we do?
I got home, Oh what a fun day. Yesterday I
went to the doctor, which that part sucked. I have
a I'm such a five year old. The doctor told
me to quit biting my nails. I got an infection
in my finger. Not going to talk about it, goodness,
but I'll be fine. And then I went to get
(01:33):
my favorite bottle of tequila for those that know, I
found a bottle of Forte Lais of ripplelsa though. And
then I was rolling by a buddy's house and I
was like, hey, man, you got time for a quick one,
So I brought we drank. We used to drink in
the driveway during the pandemic, so that's our thing. So
I stopped by, had a quick shot with him. His
wife made me a perogi oo and then I went
home and brought burgers and that was it. That was
(01:54):
my night.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Wow, a magical evening.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That was a magical evening. Lot's happening. Thank you for
waking up with this. Will be back. We were talking
about this yesterday, but I thought it was worth talking
about again. I think it'll be super helpful for a
lot of people. Holidays are here and every weekend is packed.
How do you prevent social burnout during the holidays? If
you have a thought on this eight hundred, eight hundred
and one O one three, May I present what they
(02:17):
call the merry rule. Now, Producer Taylor is here. We
must have found this on TikTok because it's not twenty
twenty five. If there is an acute acronym. Here's how
the marry rule works. The next time you get invited
to something, and may I ask Producer Taylor. You're very social.
Do you ever get overwhelmed with the number of invites?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Absolutely, I am right now.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Okay, because as you get older, like literally, it takes
an act of congress for me and my wife to
get off the couch and go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I have to mentally prepare for these things sometimes.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Okay, So the number one thing, this is the filter
you want to run through, the merry rule. Number one money,
Can I even afford this activity?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Probably not, given that that's the holidays, right.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Number two energy? Ask yourself, check your own energy levels.
Do you have the energy? Are you drained? And if
you don't, consider saying no. The power of no is
epic literally the marriage the merry rule. The next is return.
Are you going to get out of it what you
(03:16):
put in? As I always say, does it fill your cup?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I have a friend who has a saying if it
doesn't fill my cup or fill my wallet, I'm not
doing it. Oh she'll go out and get paid, or
she'll go out and fill her own cup. Other than that,
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The next r is recovery. Will you have enough time
to listen to your body to recover from whatever this
activity that you couldn't afford in the first place that's
robbing your energy is? And finally, it's all about you, baby.
Have you thought about how you want to spend your
holiday season? You don't have to agree to plans you
won't enjoy, even though it might be hard. To say no.
(03:52):
Let's go back to the power of no. Say it
with me.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I don't think my mom's gonna like this one. She's
gonna be like, h what's your.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So you try to cancel your mom party this week?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Whoops? Sorry mom? The merry rule during the holidays to
prevent and burn out. There you go. I know that
this next thing is supposed to be helpful, supposed to
get me out like centered or something, but when I
read it, I felt very unaccomplished. It says, get these
work things done this week to unplug over the holidays.
Produce totat with me on the microphone and follow her
online at Taylove. You want to meet the newest employee
(04:24):
here at Star one on one three, let's see. Because
for me, I'm just trying to get to tomorrow. I'm
just trying to get my Christmas presents in the mail
on time. But these people are talking about here are
some things you need to be doing in order to
truly unplug. Number one, wrap up major projects. How many
major practices you have unwrapped right now? Full stop?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Gosh, too many to count.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
And then after you wrap up all your projects, you
have to look ahead to Q one, It says, so, like,
what do you got going on in January?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Oh gosh, don't make me think that far.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
How does February look for you?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I'm scared?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
What about March?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
No, you're giving me anxiety.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Make sure while you're doing this that you have time
to list your accomplishments and celebrate them. Clean out your inbox.
Oh god, you want to guess how many unread emails
I have in my inbox right now?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Oh, my gosh, it's probably not as many as mine.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Eighty six thousand, four Marcus eighty six thousands. God, anxiety,
raise your hand.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I thought I was bad with my two thousand, eighty
six thousand, No wonder I.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Never heard from you.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
While you're wrapping up your major projects and looking ahead
to Q one and cleaning out your inbox, make sure
that you add a few connections to your network and
organize your desktop. And then while you're doing all of this,
please deep clean your workspace. Oh, don't forget to update
your resume. You're not allowed to do this, but everybody
else can, even if you're not job hunting. Other than that,
(05:42):
take it easy, man, it's the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, that's easy.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Easy, I guess you know how long I've been trying
to organize my desktop.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Whoever wrote this doesn't work for a living?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
No, right, how does it feel to be unemployed?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
This is what I don't talk about. What's trendan on star,
what's happening in entertainment news, the biggest stories of the day,
and everything people are talking about.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Today in the Bay.

(06:53):
because cookie season is almost here.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Shout out to my daughter, who year after year is
the number one coast side cookie seller and I'm so
since she was like five, she's amazing. That's awesome. So
we're saying goodbye to Toast Yea's, which I'm kind of
bummed about. These were French Toast inspired little icing cookies.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't wish I ever had those ones since.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (07:16):

Thin mints, samoas, tag alongs, so good, Trefoyle's all sticking around.
Cookie season kicks off in January. They will be sold
locally until Aprilo. Online ordering will be big. We've been
talking about Utopia a lot this week to Topia two.
(07:53):
This is kind of funny and kind of scary. So
there is a blue pit viper character from the movie
If You Saw It, who is now sparked demand for
the real life venomous snake in China. No, I guess
they're selling them. Since the nin movie debut, the the
sales have spiked. They're going for as much as four
hundred and twenty dollars. Experts are warning against having severely
(08:18):
venomous snakes in your house. Not gonna kill you, but
it's gonna it's gonna hurt.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I think I'll have to pass on that line.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Let's see what else. So locally here in the Bay,
there was a three vehicle crash westbound five eighty in
year Castro Valley, which then sent an unoccupied car flying
off a tow truck that then landed on the BART tracks,
which has now got us down to single tracking.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I saw a video of that through.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
The Castra Valley station. You're gonna get there if you're
taking BART, but it's gonna be delayed, probably for the
rest of the day. BART can't catch a break.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I know. It's like something new every day.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That is the most freak of freak accidents. But if
you're riding Bart, we're feeling for you. If you're working
for Bart trying to deal with this, we're feeling for you.
If you can work from home today, today might be
the day. Keep that in mind. Cute story about our
girl Olivia Rodrigo, who we also adore in the studio.
She says she lived some real life fanfic with Harry Styles.
(09:18):
Let me explain because I was today years old when
producer Taylor explained to me what fanfic was. Can you
please do it in like one line.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Fan fiction is when you write a story about someone
you know, celebrity you know, and it's a fake story.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Okay. So she admitted that she wrote fan fiction in
elementary school about Harry Styles and then met him in person.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
You like got tea and we like walked around and
I got home and I was like, I feel like
I like wrote that in a fan fiction and I
like lived it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Like that is so crazy how that can happen in
your life.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
And he's so sweet. I can't even imagine, Like I
wrote the story about this celebrity that I used to
be a stand for, and then we met in person
and had tea and walked away.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Right, how does it feel to live my dream?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
We have a poll up right now, our daily poll
on the Star one on one three fm Instagram. What
are we celebrating today and what are my choices? Producer,
tailor and what's the question.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yes, we are celebrating superheroes today, so we're asking what
is the superpower of your choosing? Would you want invisibility, telepathy,
super strength or teleportation? I talk about teleportation at least
once a day. Yeah, I love teleporting.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
We could stay in bed longer. Not the commute would
be non existent. Right, just blink your eyes and be
in the studio.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It would be amazing, especially here trying to be here
on time.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, I would laugh if you forgot to get out
of your pajamas before your eyes, I would take invisibility,
I think. Really Okay, anyway, make your choice. Go to
the Star one one three fm Instagram. It's in the stories.
It's our daily poll, and that is what's trending. It
is time for second date update. Trying to put people together.
You go on a first date, you get ghosted on,

like the date wrapped up quickly, so something went wrong? Yeah,
do you mind talking about it?
Speaker 7 (13:33):
One hundred percent?
Speaker 6 (13:33):
I am so happy to talk about this, okay. So, yeah,
the date started out amazing. Tyler is He's very cute,
he is very funny, but he is like extremely shady. Actually,
I'm actually really excited to be here because I need
to put him on blasts to warn any other ladies
out there that might consider dating him.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I can't wait. When did it get weird?
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (13:57):
So, I mean, like ninety percent of the was amazing.
We were laughing, it was like so great. And then
towards the end of the meal, his phone kept lighting
up with texts from someone named Wifey. I saw like
the name on the screen.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Like literally Wifey literally in all caps okay, and I
was I saw it, and I like was so uncomfortable
about it, so I like kind of made a joke
about it.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
And then he was like he was like, oh, that's
just my ex but we're cool.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Now what does that even mean?
Speaker 7 (14:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Well, great question, but his lock screen came up and
it was a wedding pick of both of them.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Crazy, Okay, now I'm clemped.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Yeah, I did ghost one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Sure me too, Uh, Tyler, Tyler anything?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Well, I mean she was calling me we're separated, but
we still love together. I mean it's crazy expensive.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
But are you on? Are you you're still married?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yes, technically I'm still married. We're just separated right now.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I mean, like, the thing is, he was flirting like
he was a single man, but he's like married, he's
still married, right, I don't know, Like, you have to
get your house back in order, buddy, you need to
get divorced before you start putting yourself out there like this.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
That was just crazy. I felt totally conned.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Right, No, I hear you, but you know it is
more complicated than that.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
You know so well not for me.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
It's not no second date?
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Got it. Why is this such a common theme? Is
this a cuffing season or something? I don't know what's anyway?
Second date update? All these days meld together as we're
getting ready to travel for the holidays. Am right, Yes,
good morning. Producer, Taylor is here.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Please follow the show at It's Marcus d on Instagram.
Taylor is at Taylorve with two ease. This is the
TSA's guide to which holiday gifts won't make it through security.
Let's say you go somewhere exotic and you want to
bring back a present, and then you get to the
TSA and you're wondering, can I bring this through? Number
one on the list wrap gifts. I know it's nice
(16:11):
to arrive with your presence already wrapped, but they need
to be open for inspection. Nothing would break my heart
more because I hate wrapping presents. To do a solid
job a gift wrap and then have the TSA have
to rip that open and check it out. So just
something to keep in mind. They always suggest gift bags
instead of wrapping paper. By the way, one of the
things on this list is going to give me a PTSD.
I'll explain electronic gifts. If you're giving a laptop, gaming system,
(16:34):
or even a coffee maker, pack them in your carry
on because they will need to be X rayed. Pack
them in an area that is accessible in case of inspection.
Baked goods, Christmas cookies, cakes, pies, and fruitcakes are fine
to get through security checkpoints because they're all solids. This
is where it went sideways for me on a trip
back from Maui in two thousand and seven. You cannot
(16:58):
bring preserves, maple syrups, champagne, eggnog, need to go through
a check bag because these liquids are in spreadables aren't
allowed on board. I tried to bring through a jar
of handmade guava jelly from Maui one time. Interesting and
the the lady I thought I had her. The lady
at the checkpoint was Philippine. I said, Tita, please pleaan
(17:22):
let me. She said no, I'm so sorry. I said, well,
you take it home and enjoy it with your family.
It's fine, it says, here's the rule of thumb. If
you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it,
or pour it, and it's larger than three point four ounces,
it needs to be packed in a check bag. Uh.
This is my other favorite. Casse Roles and meats should
be fine in a carry on, but gravy and sauce
(17:44):
have to be in a check bag. Who in the
world is traveling with a castle? Do people do that?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Also? How did they find that out? It's like who
was bringing gravy?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
If you have ever rolled through TSA with gravy. I
need to hear from here because you're my people, first
of all. And then finally, there are some it says,
there are some surprising things that you can't bring for example,
something nobody thinks about. Say you get a beautiful snow
globe from you know, Norway or something, and you want
(18:15):
to bring that through. Well, it's got more than three
point four ounces of liquid in there.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
My goodness, all that, and my cousin still made it
through TSA with a half ounce of weed in his pants.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Did not see that coming this morning. Now you have
to tell the story. He made it through.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Oh yeah, he made it through. We were going we
were actually going to Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
And he put a half ounce of weed in his underpants,
and like, let me just paint the picture for you.
Furthest Thing from sober Okay, furthest Thing also lost his
boarding past three times before we got.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
In guaranteed, this is the guy I'm getting stuck behind
in line with my family, right.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
But we made it to Hawaii and back just fine.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Thank God.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
His time for good news, No one good Sometimes all
you need is one a good thought to make it
a great day.

or you you're proud of your child, or somebody that
you know for something they're doing for the community, I
would love to hear about it. Please send me a

love that you just want to share for good news,

I love it. You can DM at its Marcus d

on Facebook. Appreciate you. This is the story of a
puppy who was left abandoned in a box outside of
a SPCA in Philadelphia that has now found their forever home.
The story starts out super sad, so I guess they
(19:55):
were left in a in a U haul box outside
the SPCA. The owner said that they were facing eviction.
They no longer had any way to house the puppy
and said that the note said, I have no other option.
It's either eviction or I have to let the dog go.
I filled out adoption apps. Nothing has happened. Today was
(20:16):
my last day. She has all of her shots. She's
a great dog. Her name is Tangi, So staff founder
put her up online the internet did her thing, cutest
picture of her and her forever family and she's going
home and I thought that was great. And to be
honest with you, this is something that you can help facilitate.
