DM Dilemma's:
When a woman DM’d Marcus about her husband dropping the ball on her birthday, it opened up a bigger conversation. From mismatched expectations to feeling unseen in a marriage, we talk about why birthdays hit differently, how partners miss the mark, and what actually makes someone feel celebrated.  

Most Out of Pocket Office Bathroom Experiences:
Office bathrooms are where professionalism goes to die. This episode is all about the wildest, weirdest, and most uncomfortable bathroom experiences people have had at work. It’s funny, it’s awkward, and it’ll make you grateful for your headphones and your ability to hold it.  

What's Trending:
We’re breaking down a packed show, starting with BART delays that will test everyone’s patience over the weekend.

We also talk Modelo’s new non-alcoholic beverage, hit the latest sports headlines, celebrate National Apricot Day, and wrap things up with Furry Friday.  

Second Date Update:
Heather thought the date went great. Liam was funny, confident, and easy to talk to. They connected over travel, pets, and childhood fears—and she left smiling. But after the date? Silence. No text. No follow-up. Just a ghost. We dive into what might’ve gone wrong.  

The Top Phone Habits People Hope To Kick:
We’re calling ourselves out in this one. A new survey reveals the top phone habits people are desperate to break in 2026. From endless scrolling in bed to constantly checking notifications that aren’t even there. We break down the most common bad habits, surprising stats about screen time, and why so many of us admit we couldn’t go a single day without our phones.

Oh yes, many times.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
It's like a full body experience for you. What's going on?
I heard you went grocery shopping yesterday, spent entirely too
much money at trader joke.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh my gosh. Yes, but finally my fridge is full. Yes, yeah,
I took before and after pictures. I'll put it on
my story.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
So are you going to cook?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Now?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I cook? Oh no, Okay, it's a shocker, but I do.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
May I ask what the first meal is going to be?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
You know, I think I'm gonna do some sort of
chicken rice vegetable deal. We're trying to think healthy in
this new year.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Are we gonna do rate my plate? Oh Monday, I.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Bring you or rate my plate? I bring you something?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I mean, you know, you know what, it's only been
three months.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Okay, well, now I actually have groceries to do it,
so I'll do it.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I'm proud of you. Thank you very good. Let's see
what's I think. Today is the last day of this
head cold that I've had, So feel good. I feel
good about it. Okay, I apologize for being so sneezy yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I know he's like snooting all over.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I infected the whole studio. I was trying to keep
to myself and it was just ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
At least you.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Brought everyone medicine.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I did, and then I got home, and of course
my wife, my family has no chill. My daughter was like, so, Dad,
you'll be dead soon. I'm like Then my wife was like, uh,
you sound way worse than you did yesterday, and then
she proceeded to imitate me watching a movie last night.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I'm so glad you have support at home.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I know too, but I feel like I'm on the
back end of it. So that's good news. Rolling into
the weekend, it's gonna be chilly today. It's gonna be
nice and sunny today, but yes, cold, So make sure
you're bundled up before you take off this morning. On
the way in a few minutes, ooh, what do I
need to tell you about a couple of things we
have ed sheeron tickets this morning. Yes, we do a
couple shots at that seven thirty five that begins and

(01:58):
then eight thirty five tickets for Bruno Mars don't go anywhere.
We were talking about this yesterday, but it bears revisiting.
Got a DM from one of our listeners who needs
our help. So listen up to this really quick, and
I want to know what you think. This is all
about whether or not you or your significant other properly
celebrates birthdays. So from Alina in Walnut Creek, she is
sick and tired of her husband being so thoughtless. She says,

(02:20):
my husband's birthday is a few weeks after mine. I'm
seriously considering canceling the plans I made for him. I
booked something I knew he'd love, But for my birthday,
he treated me to something we'd already planned a long
time ago as my quote gift, and is insisting on
hosting his family, even though I said I wanted a
quiet evening. I feel unseen, I feel brushed off. I
want to stop trying so hard and just give him

(02:43):
the same level of effort that he gives me. Is
it wrong to pull back and quote match his energy?
Or am I just letting resentment turn me into someone
I don't want to be. The answer to that is yes,
resentment will destroy the relationship. First of all, full Stop
producer Taylor joining me in studio, did something like this
happen to you?

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I I'm a huge birthday person, okay, and I gift
giving is my love language.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
So I have two answers for this.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
We could go the healthy route or the non healthy route.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Let's go a healthy route. Just let's keep it above board.
I don't want to talk about your burner accounts stocking
me until I die. Please continue.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I think you should talk to him, let him know. Hey,
this is how I'm feeling about X, Y and Z,
and I need some changes.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I just live this. A friend of mine we went
to a birthday dinner. I show up with my wife
and my daughter. Her husband didn't come.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
And I was like, I looked at my wife, how
do you not come to your wife's birthday dinner? Two
things here. First of all, if she's cool with it,
then fine, they have their thing. It's not my business.
And the other aspect is, if you look at it
from both sides, not everybody grew up very celebratory, right,
if your parents didn't celebrate events, if your families didn't

(03:53):
celebrate events, maybe it's not ingrained in you. Therefore you don't.
Because the answer was, well, he just doesn't do that,
and my mind was bl because I also gift giving
is also my love language. I love celebrating people, throwing parties,
let me cook for you, all these things. Of course,
so I couldn't fathom not showing up to my wife's
birthday dinner because that would be the end mortifying right
in my head, I was like, Okay, let's go back

(04:14):
to Elena for one second. Her husband did not celebrate
her in the way she wanted to be celebrated. Maybe
he didn't grow up that way. But then to your point, Taylor,
it's incumbent on her to be like, Look, birthday parties
are important to me, Thoughtful Christmas gifts are important to me.
I need you to step it up. I think you
can say that.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
If you tell him and then he continues to yeah,
this way, that is another thing, I think, then you
can't be upset.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I'll never forget the year my father didn't do anything
for my mom for her birthday. Just no gifts, no dinner,
no nothing, just a happy birthday, probably a high five.
And then us as kids, following his lead, we didn't
do anything either. Scarred my mom for decades.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Divorce babes.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh they boy, Beth believe they did. That was reason
number three hundred and sixty two. Anyway, if you have
any thoughts on this, let us know. And I'm curious,
do you and your partner celebrate each other in the
same way, on the same level. If not, what did
you do about it? You can leave us a talk
back on the iHeartRadio app. It's that little red microphone
if you're streaming Star one on one three right now,
it's Marcus in the morning, it's Friday. What is acceptable

(05:15):
to do in the office bathroom and what is not acceptable?
What is the most out of pocket thing you've seen
or heard somebody doing. We're not going to get graphic.
This is not that kind of show. But I bring
this up, and Producer Tailor is here, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
I bring this up because I was in the men's
room here at the office yesterday and something weird happened,
even for this place, and this place has a very
loose office restroom policy. I have seen people changing I've
seen people doing full grooming, brushing their teeth, flossing, all
acceptable in my opinion. But I walked into the men's

(05:46):
room yesterday, took stall number two, sat down, and realized
the gentleman next to me was watching a full episode
of Landman on Paramount Plus at full volume, no headphones
for the wind, because I could hear Billy Bob Thornton
cussing while I was doing my business. Is this acceptable
your thoughts?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
You have to watch it somewhere, but not in the bathroom,
Like I get it.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Everybody's on their phone in the bathroom. Is that just
not the norm in twenty twenty six?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
It is, it's the new magazine.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
But I don't want to know that you're on your phone, right,
I don't want to know that you're just go in
handle your business. Leave.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
He definitely should have had headphones.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
This is not the lounge.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
But I have to say I've done it before myself.
I'll watch the.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Watch a show, yeah on the can.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, sometimes taken a while, you never know.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Now Taylor's been here what three months? Yes, this is
not the wildest office restroom situation you've ever been in.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
There's always something going on almost every single day in
that bathroom. I have the most interactions with people here
in there. Uh huh, it's insane.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
We're very free and I always check shoes, you ever
check especially especially? And I all this stat as I
kind of looked up on the internet. What's the wildest
thing people have seen in the office restroom? Ten percent
of people admit they only wash their hands sometimes, Yeah,
after handling their biz. And I'll tell you what, if
I don't hear that water go and I've already checked

(07:15):
your shoes and I know who you are, we will
no longer. You don't even get a fist bump from
me after that. Uh huh uhh, We're done that.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
You're keeping tracks?

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh yeah, no, I keep score on hygiene for sure.
Some of the other stuff that people have seen a
lot of people going there to cry or just to
have a moment.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, been there?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Have you in the office restroom?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Of course. I don't know if I've ever cried in
an office restroom.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
To task you, you made me cry, shut off, I'm kidding,
I'm joking.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
God, the almost had me. What about taking or making
a phone call.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I personally don't do it in the bathroom, because that's weird,
gets warmed down into the bathroom while someone was on
the phone.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
I will audibly make as much noise as possible, so
whoever is on the other line knows exactly where they
are and exactly what's going on.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
No, there's someone in this office that's notorious for taking
their phone calls in the battle.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Really.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, we'll talk about it later.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Give me names.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'm not giving you names. You know I'm smarter than
I look, Marcus, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 1 (08:09):

heard in your office restroom? Drop us a talk back

best way to eat an apricot? Do you like them fresh,
maybe dried in a pastry or never.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
We have to give a shout out to our dear friend,
chef Matthew Dolan. We've been discussing this all morning because
he brought in some apricot Philo dough bites for the
staff so good this week that I can't stop dreaming about,
still thinking about it. It was dried apricots until those
came through. Those were little flavor bombs. Anyway, that's what's trending.
It's Marcus in the morning. We're back with second date update.

(13:27):
Y'all know how it works. People go on first dates.
Somebody gets ghosted. Happens all the time. We're gonna call
that date with their date on the phone and see
how it went down, and see what happens, See how
we can improve ourselves, try to get a second date.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Okay, I know, we talked about travel.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
Stuff and pets and like we had like the same
weird childhood fears. Like it was just like a cute
conversation and I don't know, I laughed more than I
usually do on a first date, and I was thinking,
you know, okay, that was actually really fun when I left.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
You know, I can kee psychoanalyzing the date while you're
talking like that. I don't know how many times it's been.

Speaker 7 (14:31):
But I don't know what hat like, nothing, no text,
no follow up. It was just like full ghost.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
So okay, I just don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
You got it. Hang on the line, be right back
with It's Second Date Update Star one oh one three.
It's Marcus in the morning. We're doing Second Date Update.
I've got Heather on the phone. We're trying to figure
out how and why a lady get ghosted on because
that is not appropriate, am I right?

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Heather?

Liam speaking Liam. This is Marcus calling from a Star
one o one three from the morning show.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
This is regarding do.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
You listen to my show at all? No?

Speaker 4 (15:41):
No, I can't say I'm much of a radio man.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Okay, So we do a radio show. We do a
segment on the show. It's called Second Date Update, and
we got floated your phone number cuz there's a young
lady that you took out on a date who is
convinced you ghosted her, and we're just trying to figure
out if she did something wrong, or if you've just
been busy or you weren't feeling it it. Do you
remember going on a date with a girl named Heather?

Speaker 4 (16:04):
I remember it very well.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Did you ghost?

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (16:08):
I didn't. I did not. I did not reach out again.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Okay, did something go wrong?

Speaker 4 (16:15):
It's it's not. Heather is a very lovely person. The
date started out strong, and she's definitely quirky, very funny.
We bonded over a lot, okay, but I don't really
know how to like say that. She kept preferring it.
Everyone around her is like characters, okay, and not not

(16:39):
as not as a joke.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
It was like she was like narrating a movie in
her head or something. So the server that night was
a strong supporting character.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
The couple that was near the bar had definite background energy.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
This sounds like Disneyland or something.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, it was. The restaurant had really interesting casting. Yes,
I just I you know, I wasn't sure if I
was being pranked or not, so I was like trying
to see if somebody was filming or something. At some
point I just didn't know how to take it. And
then I was, I was rolling with the punches, okay,
and I started, you know, trying to like pull it
back into us and focusing on the two of us.

(17:17):
So I started talking about my job a little bit,
and then she like took me in and said, oh,
I wouldn't have guessed that for you, and then nothing else, like,
no no question, no follow up, like that was just
it move on to something else.

Speaker 6 (17:34):
And I just ended up feeling like I was being
judged and psychoanalyzed for the entire evening.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
And that's not you know, that's not really how I
wanted to share.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Okay. So part of this lim is that Heather's actually listening,
and I hope she's hearing all this. If you don't mind,
I'd like to bring her on.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Hey man, I mean we're here, Heather.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, fine, So this is a little odd. I'm not
gonna lie.

Speaker 7 (18:01):
Well, I mean, I'm just observant, like I like to
read energy.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
I guess I didn't mean anything by it.

Speaker 7 (18:07):
I noticed patterns.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
This is how my brain works, right, But it's not
something you want to say out loud necessarily. What about
this whole character thing? Are you like.

Speaker 7 (18:18):
Figuring out the room and like figuring.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Out what people are like, I guess, and I just
never like figured.

Speaker 7 (18:25):
Your job with your job, And so I just said so,
like just.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
One of those things like I'm just looking at, you know,
the room around me and stuff. Sure, because it.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
Just feels weird to feel like I'm being categorized or
like cast in somebody else's story.

Speaker 7 (18:42):
You were laughing. So I just thought I was like
being playful and thoughtful.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Not strange, but like you don't work in TV or
film or anything like that that would have made sense,
I guess. Oh my god, it was just a conversation.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Okay, does anybody anybody want to try here second date?

Speaker 2 (18:59):
At this point?

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Does it feel like I'm good? I guess no, I
guess not. Well.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's
Star one oh one three, it's Marcus in the morning,
It's Friday. Today is National Quitter's Day. By the way,
this is where you give up on your New Year's resolution.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Oh okay.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
First of all, the reason I bring that up is
because I read this article about the top ten phone
habits people that hope to kick in twenty twenty six.
That would have been my resolution. Stop checking your damn
phone so much?

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Right.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
First of all, fact that's on the list, checking your
phone even when you don't get a notification, just hoping
maybe one will show up. That's a a scrolling on
the toilet something we were talking about earlier. That makes
the list as well.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
I'm a professional.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
That's not necessarily something I want to stop doing. It's
too much fun now. Scrolling on your phone on the
toilet for forty five minutes. Yeah, I should probably cut
down on that. Taking their phone to bed and doom scrolling.
How we doing?

Speaker 2 (19:49):
You know me, Marcus? It can turn my bedtime from
nine to eleven.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I know Producer Taylor is here and you said you
had one.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
My worst phone habit is when I open Instagram and
there's nothing going on, so I close it, and then
I immediately open Instagram again.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
I do the same thing all the time. I will
open it, scroll, reels, get tired of whatever that algorithm is.
Close it, reopen it, rescroll. Oh, I feel seeing it's
so bad. I thought it was just me. Here's another one.
I don't even think about never cleaning your phone. Do
you ever clean your phone? Like take a wipe and oh.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Like the act physical outside of it? Yeah, yeah, no,
but you should because it's supposed to be good for
your face.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I don't think I've done that ever. I hate to
tell you that, but that's the truth.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, I don't think I do that often enough.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Taking up sports space with duplicate or unneeded photos. How
hard is it when you do a photo shoot? How
many photos are you actually taking before you get to
one you like?

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Minimum fifty?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, I'm so glad.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
I'm a boy and there's only three that look good
and only one makes the cut right, other ones really quick?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Opening social media as soon as you wake up forgetting
or taking a long time to reply to messages. I'm
talking to you. Yeah, so, Taylor is their immediate response
which I got yesterday while you were shopping in Trader
Joe's or six hours later. And the funny thing is
she will she will read it because she'll drop the
red receipt on you. But then you're not gonna get

(21:12):
an answer until the following day.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
I have a lot to think about before I respond.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Top ten phone habits you want to kick in twenty
twenty six. If you have one to add, you can
use the talkback on the iHeartRadio app that little red
microphone if you're streaming Star one one three right now

have to say, what's up to Linda, longtime member of
our listening family there in San Jose. She says, Marcus,
I have a great news story for you. She did
what but I always tell you to do, which is
just DM me if you've got anything, She said. Stevie,
who is a four pound dog that was living in

(22:08):
a parking lot at the corner of Stephens Creek and
Saratoga Ab in San Jose, is going to be three
years old tomorrow. When she was a puppy, she got
scared and traveled several miles to end up where we
saw her. She lived there for two years and was
able to survive thanks to the community, including the young
house to fed her. She was able to stay alive
until we saw a post on next door. It took

(22:30):
us seven months to actually catch her. She was so
skittish and now we've adopted her. She's the cutest, most
loving and happy dog you will ever meet. We named
her Stevie for Stevens Creek. Obviously, we also adopted the
cat she was hanging out with in the parking lot.
She has an Instagram if you want to follower Stevie

(22:50):
the parking Lot pup on Instagram. Truly a miracle that
she survived. It took a community effort. Listen every morning,
Thank you, And that's from Linda in San Jose. I
love that story so good and perfect for free Fridays. Listen,
you might need the animal as much as they need
you if you want to do some adopting yourself. Our

(23:12):
partner this week for free Fridays is Marine Humane. We
have two dogs, a kiddy and a bunny rabbit that
all need adopting right now. Could change your life. I
