Getting Lost on Muni:
If you’ve ever missed your stop, taken the wrong bus, or questioned every life choice while staring at a Muni map, this episode is for you. Marcus got spectacularly lost on Muni, and we’re unpacking every twist, turn, and accidental detour.
Girl Math:
Welcome to the world of Girl Math, where buying something on sale means you technically made money, and concert tickets purchased months ago are now “free.” We’re diving into the wild, hilarious logic behind Girl Math and exposing the ways we use it every single day.

Second Date Update:
Tony called us about Mariah after their pizza date in Oakland. He said she was next-level gorgeous, sharp, funny, and told this story about her grandmother making tamales that “made him see the whole future.” They bonded over concerts (both of them love live music) swapped favorite Bay Area hangouts, and even agreed that the only people still eating gas station nachos at midnight are heroes.
Australia's Social Media Ban:
Australia’s government says it’s protecting young people. The kids say their freedom is being taken away. In this episode, we explore the new under-16 social media ban, what sparked it, how it works, and why teens are now protesting.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's a star one on one three, it's Marcus. Right
before six o'clock. Good morning, producer Taylor in the house.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
So you know how I love to share fun facts. Yes,
I have a fun fact that is either wildly inappropriate
or hilarious.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I can't wait for this.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
This might I'm trying to decide if I know you
well enough to share.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Please share, You're too far in now.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Okay? Do you know where the word testify comes from? No,
like to testify in court with an oath. I read
and I don't know if this is true, but legend
has it that it comes from ancient Rome and the
practice that I believe it was in the Senate. But
when Roman senators made a deal, they gripped each other
(00:47):
down there.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh my gosh, Marcus, I had a feeling that this
is where it was going.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And we know what those are called scientifically, Yes, am
I allowed to say testicles? I don't know, I.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Don't know said it?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
So they would grip each other down there to seal
the deal and so testify put that one together? Am I? Okay?
Are we okay?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I don't know, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Sorry, I fascinated. That is appropriate to nothing anyway, I digress.
Good morning now at six o'clock stay with us this morning.
You can catch up with the show at all times.
It's Marcus D on Instagram. Taylor is at Tay Love
with two Ease. We've got tickets for the Exploratorium this morning.
We have tickets for Fallout Boy this morning. Coming up
(01:40):
in a few minutes, we're going to talk about you
ever have a realization that you just you're not as
cool as you used to be. Like that happened to
me last night, as I am no longer the urban
San Francisco warrior that I that I used to be.
I can no longer ride Muni without looking at maps
and doing stuff I used to be the guy I
got so lost in San Francisco yesterday. It was embarrassing.
(02:03):
Producer Taylor is here good morning. You can follow her
at Taylor with two E's. You can follow me at
It's Marcus D on Instagram. As I was saying earlier,
there's nothing like realizing you're not as cool as you
used to be. I e me last night realizing I'm
not the urban Muni warrior in San Francisco that I
was fifteen years ago. I got so lost. It was embarrassing,
So Taylor and I. So, Taylor and I went to
(02:25):
host the San Francisco premiere of Song Sung Blue. It's
a movie starring Hugh Jackman Kate Hudson about a Neil
Diamond tribute band. Awesome film, and Taylor and I decided
before going to the movie, We're gonna stop at.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
The Mint in the Castro, which is a famous karaoke lounch.
We're gonna nail a couple of Neil Diamond songs for
the content grab, you know, for the social media reel.
In my head, I knew how to get there, no
problem on mass transit. I was convinced I didn't need
to look at Google Maps or anything. I used to
live in the city at eighth and Folsom. I took
Uni everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I love it. It's a cavalcade of people watching. And
so I left the house with no plan and just thought, oh,
I know where it is ish it's Bart, probably one
Miuni train, No problem. Yeah, boy was that dumb. So
I exited Civic Center Bart and then I can't find
the Mini train because that's been so long, and I thought, oh,
it's on the street. So I exit to the street
(03:16):
and then the signs are like no, Imunie's downstairs. So
I go back downstairs, back into the station, repay, run
to the platform and it's like take the K, the L,
the M, take anyone you want. So I jump on
and I'm like all right. I look up and I go, well, shoot,
is it Debosa Church? Is it just church? Is it Castro?
At this point I have looked at maps, but I'm
(03:37):
on the M train. We're moving and my little blue
dot is frozen. So this is no help. No, So
I said, well, it's in the Castro. I'm going to
exit a Castro station.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh goodness.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Now I'm a mile and a half away from the mint.
I crossed the platform, go back the other direction on
a second train. While I'm waiting for that train. While
I'm waiting for that train, I run into an old
coworker from like fifteen years ago and she goes, Marcus,
I haven't seen her in fifteen years, Marcus, what are
you doing here?
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I'm just just head to the Castro gonna do some karaoke.
And she gives me this look like where's your wife?
And have you made a lifestyle change? I said no, no, No,
I'm going to the mid it's a karaoke thing. I'm
hosting a premiere, we're doing a content grab. I gotta go. Well,
then I get off at church when I should have
really gotten off at De bos In Church. Now I
got a run for it because we're on a time schedule,
(04:24):
and I'm thinking to myself, this is dumb. Why didn't
you look it up? My pride got in the way
it ended.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Okay, I mean you made it there.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I feel like I smashed it on stage.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
You got there before I did, so I didn't even
know any of this happened when I showed up.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
What a mess. God. So I'm wondering if you've ever
had that moment where like, I don't know, you go
back to the old neighborhood, it's not the same. You
think you know where your old bar used to be,
and now it's condos and you're like, I don't even
know my way around anymore. That's how it felt last night. Anyway,
rule of thumb always used Google maps. Producer Taylor is here.
Good morning, So she's teaching me things this morning. I'm
(04:58):
learning about this fascinating concept of girl math. Yes I've
heard this floating around social media. But I really want
to drill it down because it's hilarious to me. What
is girl math? Can you explain it? Or is it
just a vibe?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
It really is just a vibe. But I like to
think of it as creative budgeting.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Okay, all right? Example number one?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
If you pay in cash, it's free? How because cash
doesn't exist to me?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Wensley No, no, see see this is where I can't
explain this part to you because it just makes sense
in my brain.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Marcus, Maybe if you just give me a couple more examples.
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
If the shipping is free, I got money.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Back, okay. Or if you spend an extra thirty five
dollars to unlock the free shipping, then you made money somehow.
Somebody wrote on the internet. If I pay with cash,
it's free because cash is basically coupons that work everywhere.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
See this is what's happening.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I mean, they they're understanding me. I really I feel seen.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What's another one?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
If I buy two things and I return one of them,
I just earned money.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Why does this weirdly make sense to me? It's not
supposed to. Now. I don't like to get gender specific
on the show. But could it be said that this
is offensive to ladies because maybe it makes you sound
dumb or something. Don't people get bent about that.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We kind of came up with it ourselves.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
We really did create all of this. It's just the
way our brain works.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Our guys allowed to steal this concept. Or no, okay,
because I looked up boy math.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That's way worse. We don't even want to get into that,
says right here.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
A guy will drive around for twenty five minutes looking
for free parking to avoid paying eight dollars while burning
twelve dollars in gas. This is me, I feel seen. Yes,
here's another one. If a TV is on sale for
three hundred dollars off, I didn't just buy a TV.
I made three hundred bucks. It's kind of like your example. Yeah,
guy will insist he doesn't need a cart at home
(06:44):
depot and then carry lumber through the store like it's
a CrossFit workout.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That seems more like a pride issue.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Guy will spend four hundred dollars. Who doesn't do this?
Spend four hundred dollars on a new hobby because quote
it will save money in the long run, and then
quit after two weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I resonate with that one.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I'm thinking about my neighbor who decided to roast his
own coffee in his garage and almost burn the house
down one time. My gosh, oh this one I did.
Guy will refuse a forty dollars plumber because quote, I
can fix it myself. Yeah, spend one hundred and thirty
seven dollars on tools he'll never use again. I will
couple that with and then screw it up and then
(07:24):
have to pay somebody three hundred dollars to come fix it. Yes.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Also, from my experience, it takes six months just to
get there.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Dude, Okay, I have so many friends. If if there's
a handy person at your house. Again, I don't like
to be gender specific, but if there's a handy person
at your house, how many times are like, oh, I'll
just do that renovation myself, and what would have taken
a crew maybe a couple of weeks, takes your person
a year.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Literally, it's like that. I've seen it happen with my
dad many times. Sorry, Dad, All right, what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
What's trending on Star, what's happening in entertainment news? The
biggest stories of the day and everything people are talking
about today in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Where to begin. Billie Eilish had big news is she
just dropped the trailer for her new three D concert film.
That's exciting. Come on, baby hit me. Hart ands off
the tour live in three D, premiering March twentieth. She
co directed it with James Cameron. That they use technology
that's never been applied to a concert film before. We'll
(08:27):
see what happens. There is a massive Imax theatrical release planned.
Producer Taylor is here. Who is chief avocado here in
the studio? Oh yes, this is exciting that you need
to formulate an email and spearhead a screening.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yes, oh my gosh, I would love that be like.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You host it, just dressed out in all your Billie
Eilish stuff. Oh yeah, everybody will show up in jerseys
and backwards baseball caps. I think that's fantastic. So there
you go. What other news do I have? This is
ridiculous Travis and Taylor news, but I kind of dig
it a little bit.

Ooh I had that one time.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
It was two thousand and one. I would not go

Star one on one three FM Instagram in the stories
for getting back into Second Date Update. This is our
dating segment we've been doing for like a decade on
the show, trying to bring people together. Sometimes there's a
misunderstanding after our first date that causes somebody to ghost
on you. And we don't like ghosters or ghosting or
(11:01):
being ghosted, do we Tony are you there?
Speaker 8 (11:03):
Yeah? I'm here, Yeah here man.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
So let's talk about your date. Let's talk about Mariah.
I understand y'all went for pizza in the town in Oakland,
So how how was it? Start us off?
Speaker 8 (11:15):
All right?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
From the get go, you know, immediately I saw her
drop that gorgeous We sat down, started talking, sharp, witty, funny.
Everything started, you know, clicking, and you know, she told
this story about her grandma, Miking Tamales, and you know,
I I that moment.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
It's it's like the future was being drawn and you
know a pain. Yeah, man, Like it's it's that connection.
Is that feeling, that essence.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
And we both love live music, and you know, we
we agreed on on on on a lot of things.
I thought I it was locked in. I thought it
was second date. Easy, let's go.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Right, and she's gone, yeah, okay.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Where you know. I send a few text messages.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Yeah, I even sent a nice call and left a
voicemail just to you know, check don't vibe.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
But nothing and you don't want to be weird about it,
So let me be weird about it. Let's let's do
this together. We're doing second date update right now. Been
chatting with my guy Tony. He and Mariah went on
a date in Oakland. I love the line about you
saying that you could see your whole future together Tony
(12:29):
because of her talking about her umbuela cooking in the kitchen,
cooking to my list. Now. I'm hoping you didn't scare
her off like you didn't go all stand on me,
did you. You didn't get all weird about.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
It, did you not?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
In my opinion, man, I'm telling you I was a
true gentleman all night, okay. And I didn't even say
that part of the whole painting of the future.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
I just connected and that's how I feel.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Sure. Well, let's call her. I'm going to figure out
if she goes in and why and see how the
date went from her perspective. Go ahead and mut your phone. Okay,
all right, we'll do here we go. Hello, Hi, may
I speak to Mariah? Please?
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
This is Mariah.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Hey Mariah, It's Marcus from Star one one three from
the Morning Show. How are you hi? Do you listen?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Oh yeah, I listen every morning.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I am on a roll. This This is great. Okay,
So we're doing second date update right now.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I know second date update. So Tony is probably on
the line, right, Hi, Tony.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
Hey, Tony him Mariah?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
All right, So I'll just ask did you ghost? Because
my guy enjoyed your date. He'd like to take you
out again.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
And hey, well that's good to hear that he would
like to take me out again.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
But how was the date for you?
Speaker 5 (13:59):
The first half of the date was like genuinely fun, great,
but halfway through my second slice of pizza, Tony just,
you know, casually dropped. Yeah, so I'm kind of on
a break with my girlfriend on what now? He's on
a break, a break And he said it so smoothly
that I thought I misheard him. It just like just
(14:21):
dropped out, and but no, p doubled down. He said,
don't worry, she knows I'm out tonight, which did not
make it better. It made it so much worse.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So he got a hall pass or what? Well, hold on, key,
I'm sorry? Is that it is that? Because that'll go No.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
No, no, oh no, that's not everything. Because he did
he talk to you about the phone situation? Probably not.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
No.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
He insisted on keeping his phone face up on the
table the entire time because, in his words, he wanted
to show me that he's not a sneaky guy. Okay,
but his phone was lighting up all night text from
his girlfriend, and this call from his girlfriend, a voicemail
from his girlfriend, and then at some point a calendar
alert titled could you not a couple of counseling Thursday.
(15:04):
So I didn't really need to be a private detective
to figure.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Out what you're Okay, Tony, what what's actually going on?
Because none of this was discussed earlier? So what's really happening?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
It's it's a little out of context, I'm going to say,
because I you know, look, a break is a thing.
A break is practically the same as being single. It's
like being half single. It's it's dating, you know, dating
with training wheels, dating with you know, with assists, and
and that's what that's my take on on the having
(15:39):
of your girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Are you guys still together just on a break? That's
what that is.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
It's on a break. We were not together, but you know,
we're not broken up, but it's it's a break, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
That's that's that was my intention of telling this tomorrow
because Okay, I'm an honest guy.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
This transparency is attractive, right.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I was being honest and strange?
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Is it really like today's Are you really gonna label
you know, relationships like this and nowadays it's called integrity.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
You're welcome, you know, I'm trying this. This is the Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Tony, you literally you literally have couples counseling coming up, Like,
how are you keeping eyes on the price if you're
outdating other women whilst trying to apparently get back with
your lady.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
I'm confused.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
So okay, that was already on the calendar, and uh,
you know it's canceling.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Feels rude about it.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
So you know I want it also to give it
a chance, for lack of a better word, And also
it's prepaid. In this day and age, healthcare is expensive,
so why let's do it. I think that I didn't
do anything wrong on that. I was being completely above
the table on everything.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Okay, if this is your honest version, then I am
terrified of the dishonest one.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
I don't think I did anything wrong. I'm being off listen.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I do wish you the best and I hope that
you and your girlfriend figure out whatever you're doing. But
I would prefer to not be part of this unintentional
love triangle again.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
So no second date?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Yeah, absolutely not sure.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Hang on the line, please, man, he's got a lot
going on. I'll tell you what we were telling you
a few days ago about the social media band that
just went into effect in Australia. Basically, nobody under sixteen
years old is allowed to have a social media account, period,
full stop. Government says, so that the first country in
the world to do this. It's unprecedented. And now they're
getting sued by a couple of fifteen year olds taking
(17:48):
them to the High Court. And when I first heard that,
I was like, Oh, these kids don't know what they're
talking about. They should just listen. Social media is the devil.
I do still believe that producer Taylor is here as well.
While I'm talking about this, I'm going to ask you
to follow us both on Instagram because I think it's funny.
At It's Marcus d and at Taylove with two East.
Thank you. Anyway, back to the story. Then I read
(18:09):
why they're suing or I know they're not suing is
not the word they're going to argue in high court.
And these two fifteen year olds make complete sense to me. Okay,
check this out. There's claiming that the law violates their
implied constitutional right to political communication by shutting them out
of where public debate actually happens. Basically, what they're saying
(18:29):
is this is how we communicate, This is how we
continue to operate as a society. You're shutting us out.
We can no longer participate. And you know, old school
thinking says, well, just go out and talk to your friends. Well,
this is how they talk to their friends. It's not irl.
Am I wrong on this?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
I feel that the phone works just fine, Texting is available,
they can use other forms.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
You don't have to do your discourse on social media.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
No, it doesn't have to be. I mean, yes, isn't
more convenient. I mean obvious there is. It's more of
a hub for things like that. But also the world's
function pre social media. I mean, we were talking to
each other. I think that still stand.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
With the band.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And Taylor's kind of an expert on this because social
media really started popping when you were kind of in
junior high. Yes, and it affected you as a young lady, right,
Like the rule of my house for my kid is
no social media and frankly no iPhone or any of
that business until she's sixteen minimum. Like I'm pushing for eighteen,
to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I mean, that's just good parenting. In my opinion, I
think that it keeps them busy in other ways.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Something else that they are saying is that They say
the band goes too far, silences young people instead of
protecting them. What they want is for the government to
put together smarter safety measures rather than just a straight
blanket cutoff. They want to leave it to the parents.
They want to leave it to legislation. That isn't a
blanket absolute kick off the platforms. But let's really figure
(19:57):
this out. The problem is, and I'll say it, there
are so many old people running the government. They don't
understand this. They can't wrap their heads around it. Am
I wrong on that?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I agree?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, as this unfolds, whatever happens, it's going to shape
legislation and how other countries feel about it. But how
do you feel about it? Blanket ban on social media?
Everybody under sixteen? Kicked off? Or should we really drill
down finer points? Keep them on? But figure it out.
It's time for good news.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Sometimes all you need is there what a good thought
to make it a great day.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So let's do this.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
It's good news on Star one three.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Give it to you twice a morning, seven forty just
trying to make you smile. Just give a little, some
little little mental hug on the way to work or school,
or if you do and drop off right now. What's
up everybody? What's up carpool, Thank you for being on
this morning. Appreciate you. There was a hiker in Utah
who lived my worst nightmare before the good news kicked in.
His name is Austin and he got trapped in quicksand
(21:00):
during a solo hike in Arches National Park. I've never been,
but I remember my old partner Sandy used to go
there like yearly and she loved it. He managed to
alert rescuers using his GPS satellite messenger. Now I'll repeat.
He was trapped in this quicksand for hours. He said
that it felt like it felt like concrete had closed
around his legs. He said his left leg broke through
(21:23):
what looked like solid ground and when he shifted his weight,
his right leg sank to the knee, which is crazy
to me because he's safe, everything's fine, uninjured. But in
my mind I was like, wait, doesn't quicksand take you
within thirty five seconds? And as I'm thinking this in
my head, it says in the article quicksand behaves very
(21:46):
differently from how it's portrayed on TV, like it was
talking to me directly. I guess you can stand in
it for hours, so scary, but he's fine. That's my
good news. So what's what's trending on?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Start on what's happening in entertainment news, the biggest stories
of the day and everything people are talking about today
in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Number one story in the Bay, the West Contra Costa
County teacher strike is over. It feels like good news
if you're rolling a drop off right now, you're in
carpool and you're going to school for the first time
in like five or six goad day, how many days
it was. Let's just all breathe a cyber relief. So
they have reached at tendative contract agreement with the district.
(22:29):
Deal includes an eight percent raise over two years, fully
paid family healthcare by twenty twenty seven, and bonuses and
protections for specialized education. Classes are set to resume this morning.
So congratulations. Let's just all exhale. They negotiated all night, Taylor.
While you and I were out karaoke, people were going
back and forth. I gotta tell you, I do not
(22:50):
miss being on a school board. Boy done it. I've
done it twice. It's so same on me. But congratulations
and shout out to our lady Jean and Richmond, who
is keeping me up to date on everything. I'm so
glad that happened. Disney has announced a new partnership with
open Ai. This just broke about a half hour ago.
This includes a billion dollar investment and permission for open
(23:11):
ai tools to use more than two hundred Disney, Marvel, Pixar,
and Star Wars characters. This means that you will soon
be able to create AI generated videos and imaging featuring
these characters on like chat, GPT and on Sora, and
then they'll take some of the best short movies and
put them on Disney Plus. Wow, this is a groundbreaking deal.
(23:32):
They're calling it a quote Hollywood watershed moment. I'll have
more info on this later. The Billie Eilish three D
concert film that she announced at her Chase Center show
has now dropped a trailer and we're here for now
producer Taylor. If I may ask, did you get this online?
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I did?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Where is it?
Speaker 8 (23:50):
Hot?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Days?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
On the Star one O one three FM Instagram story?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Okay, perfect? So that's exciting. Got that going for us.
If you're an avocado, which what Billy out calls her,
fans can you explain to me, like in one sentence
why she calls her fans avocados.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Her Instagram tag used to be where are the Avocados
before she changed it to Billie Eilish.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I see okay, and Taylor is our resident avocado. Oh yes,
if you love Billy Eilish, that's her vibe. So you
can follow her on Instagram at Taylove with two e's
and drop me a follow if you don't mind, I'd
love to stay connected at its. Marcus D Travis Kelcey
shared something super sweet about his lady, Taylor Swift. It
was revealed that she in fact, is the number one
(24:34):
hitter on his Spotify rap list. By the way, this
song's going to be number one forever.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Oh yeah, number one in here, number one.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
In my heart for sure. I know that's obvious news,
but I thought it was super cute because they're super cute.
Powerball has now climbed to one billion dollars with a
B billion. That's going to be your jackpot on Saturday,
So go copy your ticket for sure. That's a lot
of cash. And then we were talking about this last hour,
but in an out has removed the number sixty seven
(25:02):
from orders. It says In and Out has removed the
number sixty seven from order tickets. Because of the viral trend,
teens have been rushing restaurants trying to score the number
for clout, creating chaos, havoc anarchy at multiple locations. Have
you ever seen the videos where I have seen the
video and everybody does the six to seven.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
He's poor in and Out workers. Oh god, they did
something about it.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
They have to be so nice about it too. I
would be out of my mind right on the Star
one one three FM Instagram. We talked about it a
few minutes ago. But there is a pole and this
is a throwback Thursday poll. What are my choices are?
What's the question? What are my choices? Producer Taylor.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Yes, we are celebrating Throwback Thursday and we want to
know which retro hairstyle deserves a comeback? Is it a
perm is it the Rachel? Is it a side ponytail?
Or even to the frosted tips?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I have frosted tip photos from two thousand and one.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
We need to see this.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
The issue is also me fifty pounds heavier, so I'm
kind of in my feelings about posting them.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Okay, but you glowed up, so you're fine.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
You know what. I like your perspective. Yeah, all right,

Now Taylor has a question for you.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Okay, it's more of a compliment, Jillian.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
I just want to let you know that every time
you talk, it's like so nice for my ears to hear.
I always say to Marcus, I'm like her voice is
so nice to listen.

She has called you ASMR more than once.
Speaker 2 (30:58):

Let him know what's going on this morning on the show.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Well, Taylor, I'm so sorry, but I have a bit

voice is going to be today.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Honestly, you're doing great already. I'm so happy right now.

It's a star one on one three, it's Marcus. Right
before six o'clock. Good morning, producer Taylor in the house.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
So you know how I love to share fun facts. Yes,
I have a fun fact that is either wildly inappropriate
or hilarious.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I can't wait for this.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
This might I'm trying to decide if I know you
well enough to share.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Please share, You're too far in now.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Okay? Do you know where the word testify comes from? No,
like to testify in court with an oath. I read
and I don't know if this is true, but legend
has it that it comes from ancient Rome and the
practice that I believe it was in the Senate. But
when Roman senators made a deal, they gripped each other
(00:47):
down there.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh my gosh, Marcus, I had a feeling that this
is where it was going.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And we know what those are called scientifically, Yes, am
I allowed to say testicles? I don't know, I.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Don't know said it?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
So they would grip each other down there to seal
the deal and so testify put that one together? Am I? Okay?
Are we okay?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I don't know, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Sorry, I fascinated. That is appropriate to nothing anyway, I digress.
Good morning now at six o'clock stay with us this morning.
You can catch up with the show at all times.
It's Marcus D on Instagram. Taylor is at Tay Love
with two Ease. We've got tickets for the Exploratorium this morning.
We have tickets for Fallout Boy this morning. Coming up
(01:40):
in a few minutes, we're going to talk about you
ever have a realization that you just you're not as
cool as you used to be. Like that happened to
me last night, as I am no longer the urban
San Francisco warrior that I that I used to be.
I can no longer ride Muni without looking at maps
and doing stuff I used to be the guy I
got so lost in San Francisco yesterday. It was embarrassing.
(02:03):
Producer Taylor is here good morning. You can follow her
at Taylor with two E's. You can follow me at
It's Marcus D on Instagram. As I was saying earlier,
there's nothing like realizing you're not as cool as you
used to be. I e me last night realizing I'm
not the urban Muni warrior in San Francisco that I
was fifteen years ago. I got so lost. It was embarrassing,
So Taylor and I. So, Taylor and I went to
(02:25):
host the San Francisco premiere of Song Sung Blue. It's
a movie starring Hugh Jackman Kate Hudson about a Neil
Diamond tribute band. Awesome film, and Taylor and I decided
before going to the movie, We're gonna stop at.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
The Mint in the Castro, which is a famous karaoke lounch.
We're gonna nail a couple of Neil Diamond songs for
the content grab, you know, for the social media reel.
In my head, I knew how to get there, no
problem on mass transit. I was convinced I didn't need
to look at Google Maps or anything. I used to
live in the city at eighth and Folsom. I took
Uni everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I love it. It's a cavalcade of people watching. And
so I left the house with no plan and just thought, oh,
I know where it is ish it's Bart, probably one
Miuni train, No problem. Yeah, boy was that dumb. So
I exited Civic Center Bart and then I can't find
the Mini train because that's been so long, and I thought, oh,
it's on the street. So I exit to the street
(03:16):
and then the signs are like no, Imunie's downstairs. So
I go back downstairs, back into the station, repay, run
to the platform and it's like take the K, the L,
the M, take anyone you want. So I jump on
and I'm like all right. I look up and I go, well, shoot,
is it Debosa Church? Is it just church? Is it Castro?
At this point I have looked at maps, but I'm
(03:37):
on the M train. We're moving and my little blue
dot is frozen. So this is no help. No, So
I said, well, it's in the Castro. I'm going to
exit a Castro station.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh goodness.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Now I'm a mile and a half away from the mint.
I crossed the platform, go back the other direction on
a second train. While I'm waiting for that train. While
I'm waiting for that train, I run into an old
coworker from like fifteen years ago and she goes, Marcus,
I haven't seen her in fifteen years, Marcus, what are
you doing here?
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I'm just just head to the Castro gonna do some karaoke.
And she gives me this look like where's your wife?
And have you made a lifestyle change? I said no, no, No,
I'm going to the mid it's a karaoke thing. I'm
hosting a premiere, we're doing a content grab. I gotta go. Well,
then I get off at church when I should have
really gotten off at De bos In Church. Now I
got a run for it because we're on a time schedule,
(04:24):
and I'm thinking to myself, this is dumb. Why didn't
you look it up? My pride got in the way
it ended.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Okay, I mean you made it there.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I feel like I smashed it on stage.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
You got there before I did, so I didn't even
know any of this happened when I showed up.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
What a mess. God. So I'm wondering if you've ever
had that moment where like, I don't know, you go
back to the old neighborhood, it's not the same. You
think you know where your old bar used to be,
and now it's condos and you're like, I don't even
know my way around anymore. That's how it felt last night. Anyway,
rule of thumb always used Google maps. Producer Taylor is here.
Good morning, So she's teaching me things this morning. I'm
(04:58):
learning about this fascinating concept of girl math. Yes I've
heard this floating around social media. But I really want
to drill it down because it's hilarious to me. What
is girl math? Can you explain it? Or is it
just a vibe?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
It really is just a vibe. But I like to
think of it as creative budgeting.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Okay, all right? Example number one?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
If you pay in cash, it's free? How because cash
doesn't exist to me?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Wensley No, no, see see this is where I can't
explain this part to you because it just makes sense
in my brain.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Marcus, Maybe if you just give me a couple more examples.
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
If the shipping is free, I got money.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Back, okay. Or if you spend an extra thirty five
dollars to unlock the free shipping, then you made money somehow.
Somebody wrote on the internet. If I pay with cash,
it's free because cash is basically coupons that work everywhere.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
See this is what's happening.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I mean, they they're understanding me. I really I feel seen.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What's another one?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
If I buy two things and I return one of them,
I just earned money.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Why does this weirdly make sense to me? It's not
supposed to. Now. I don't like to get gender specific
on the show. But could it be said that this
is offensive to ladies because maybe it makes you sound
dumb or something. Don't people get bent about that.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We kind of came up with it ourselves.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
We really did create all of this. It's just the
way our brain works.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Our guys allowed to steal this concept. Or no, okay,
because I looked up boy math.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That's way worse. We don't even want to get into that,
says right here.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
A guy will drive around for twenty five minutes looking
for free parking to avoid paying eight dollars while burning
twelve dollars in gas. This is me, I feel seen. Yes,
here's another one. If a TV is on sale for
three hundred dollars off, I didn't just buy a TV.
I made three hundred bucks. It's kind of like your example. Yeah,
guy will insist he doesn't need a cart at home
(06:44):
depot and then carry lumber through the store like it's
a CrossFit workout.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That seems more like a pride issue.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Guy will spend four hundred dollars. Who doesn't do this?
Spend four hundred dollars on a new hobby because quote
it will save money in the long run, and then
quit after two weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I resonate with that one.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I'm thinking about my neighbor who decided to roast his
own coffee in his garage and almost burn the house
down one time. My gosh, oh this one I did.
Guy will refuse a forty dollars plumber because quote, I
can fix it myself. Yeah, spend one hundred and thirty
seven dollars on tools he'll never use again. I will
couple that with and then screw it up and then
(07:24):
have to pay somebody three hundred dollars to come fix it. Yes.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Also, from my experience, it takes six months just to
get there.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Dude, Okay, I have so many friends. If if there's
a handy person at your house. Again, I don't like
to be gender specific, but if there's a handy person
at your house, how many times are like, oh, I'll
just do that renovation myself, and what would have taken
a crew maybe a couple of weeks, takes your person
a year.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Literally, it's like that. I've seen it happen with my
dad many times. Sorry, Dad, All right, what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
What's trending on Star, what's happening in entertainment news? The
biggest stories of the day and everything people are talking
about today in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Where to begin. Billie Eilish had big news is she
just dropped the trailer for her new three D concert film.
That's exciting. Come on, baby hit me. Hart ands off
the tour live in three D, premiering March twentieth. She
co directed it with James Cameron. That they use technology
that's never been applied to a concert film before. We'll
(08:27):
see what happens. There is a massive Imax theatrical release planned.
Producer Taylor is here. Who is chief avocado here in
the studio? Oh yes, this is exciting that you need
to formulate an email and spearhead a screening.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yes, oh my gosh, I would love that be like.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You host it, just dressed out in all your Billie
Eilish stuff. Oh yeah, everybody will show up in jerseys
and backwards baseball caps. I think that's fantastic. So there
you go. What other news do I have? This is
ridiculous Travis and Taylor news, but I kind of dig
it a little bit.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
So.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Travis Kelsey has confirmed on his podcast New Heights that

Star one on one three FM Instagram in the stories
for getting back into Second Date Update. This is our
dating segment we've been doing for like a decade on
the show, trying to bring people together. Sometimes there's a
misunderstanding after our first date that causes somebody to ghost
on you. And we don't like ghosters or ghosting or
(11:01):
being ghosted, do we Tony are you there?
Speaker 8 (11:03):
Yeah? I'm here, Yeah here man.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
So let's talk about your date. Let's talk about Mariah.
I understand y'all went for pizza in the town in Oakland,
So how how was it? Start us off?
Speaker 8 (11:15):
All right?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
From the get go, you know, immediately I saw her
drop that gorgeous We sat down, started talking, sharp, witty, funny.
Everything started, you know, clicking, and you know, she told
this story about her grandma, Miking Tamales, and you know,
I I that moment.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
It's it's like the future was being drawn and you
know a pain. Yeah, man, Like it's it's that connection.
Is that feeling, that essence.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
And we both love live music, and you know, we
we agreed on on on on a lot of things.
I thought I it was locked in. I thought it
was second date. Easy, let's go.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Right, and she's gone, yeah, okay.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Where you know. I send a few text messages.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Yeah, I even sent a nice call and left a
voicemail just to you know, check don't vibe.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
But nothing and you don't want to be weird about it,
So let me be weird about it. Let's let's do
this together. We're doing second date update right now. Been
chatting with my guy Tony. He and Mariah went on
a date in Oakland. I love the line about you
saying that you could see your whole future together Tony
(12:29):
because of her talking about her umbuela cooking in the kitchen,
cooking to my list. Now. I'm hoping you didn't scare
her off like you didn't go all stand on me,
did you. You didn't get all weird about.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
It, did you not?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
In my opinion, man, I'm telling you I was a
true gentleman all night, okay. And I didn't even say
that part of the whole painting of the future.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
I just connected and that's how I feel.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Sure. Well, let's call her. I'm going to figure out
if she goes in and why and see how the
date went from her perspective. Go ahead and mut your phone. Okay,
all right, we'll do here we go. Hello, Hi, may
I speak to Mariah? Please?
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
This is Mariah.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Hey Mariah, It's Marcus from Star one one three from
the Morning Show. How are you hi? Do you listen?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Oh yeah, I listen every morning.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I am on a roll. This This is great. Okay,
So we're doing second date update right now.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I know second date update. So Tony is probably on
the line, right, Hi, Tony.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
Hey, Tony him Mariah?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
All right, So I'll just ask did you ghost? Because
my guy enjoyed your date. He'd like to take you
out again.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
And hey, well that's good to hear that he would
like to take me out again.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
But how was the date for you?
Speaker 5 (13:59):
The first half of the date was like genuinely fun, great,
but halfway through my second slice of pizza, Tony just,
you know, casually dropped. Yeah, so I'm kind of on
a break with my girlfriend on what now? He's on
a break, a break And he said it so smoothly
that I thought I misheard him. It just like just
(14:21):
dropped out, and but no, p doubled down. He said,
don't worry, she knows I'm out tonight, which did not
make it better. It made it so much worse.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So he got a hall pass or what? Well, hold on, key,
I'm sorry? Is that it is that? Because that'll go No.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
No, no, oh no, that's not everything. Because he did
he talk to you about the phone situation? Probably not.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
No.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
He insisted on keeping his phone face up on the
table the entire time because, in his words, he wanted
to show me that he's not a sneaky guy. Okay,
but his phone was lighting up all night text from
his girlfriend, and this call from his girlfriend, a voicemail
from his girlfriend, and then at some point a calendar
alert titled could you not a couple of counseling Thursday.
(15:04):
So I didn't really need to be a private detective
to figure.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Out what you're Okay, Tony, what what's actually going on?
Because none of this was discussed earlier? So what's really happening?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
It's it's a little out of context, I'm going to say,
because I you know, look, a break is a thing.
A break is practically the same as being single. It's
like being half single. It's it's dating, you know, dating
with training wheels, dating with you know, with assists, and
and that's what that's my take on on the having
(15:39):
of your girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Are you guys still together just on a break? That's
what that is.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
It's on a break. We were not together, but you know,
we're not broken up, but it's it's a break, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
That's that's that was my intention of telling this tomorrow
because Okay, I'm an honest guy.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
This transparency is attractive, right.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I was being honest and strange?
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Is it really like today's Are you really gonna label
you know, relationships like this and nowadays it's called integrity.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
You're welcome, you know, I'm trying this. This is the Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Tony, you literally you literally have couples counseling coming up, Like,
how are you keeping eyes on the price if you're
outdating other women whilst trying to apparently get back with
your lady.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
I'm confused.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
So okay, that was already on the calendar, and uh,
you know it's canceling.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Feels rude about it.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
So you know I want it also to give it
a chance, for lack of a better word, And also
it's prepaid. In this day and age, healthcare is expensive,
so why let's do it. I think that I didn't
do anything wrong on that. I was being completely above
the table on everything.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Okay, if this is your honest version, then I am
terrified of the dishonest one.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
I don't think I did anything wrong. I'm being off listen.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I do wish you the best and I hope that
you and your girlfriend figure out whatever you're doing. But
I would prefer to not be part of this unintentional
love triangle again.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
So no second date?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Yeah, absolutely not sure.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Hang on the line, please, man, he's got a lot
going on. I'll tell you what we were telling you
a few days ago about the social media band that
just went into effect in Australia. Basically, nobody under sixteen
years old is allowed to have a social media account, period,
full stop. Government says, so that the first country in
the world to do this. It's unprecedented. And now they're
getting sued by a couple of fifteen year olds taking
(17:48):
them to the High Court. And when I first heard that,
I was like, Oh, these kids don't know what they're
talking about. They should just listen. Social media is the devil.
I do still believe that producer Taylor is here as well.
While I'm talking about this, I'm going to ask you
to follow us both on Instagram because I think it's funny.
At It's Marcus d and at Taylove with two East.
Thank you. Anyway, back to the story. Then I read
(18:09):
why they're suing or I know they're not suing is
not the word they're going to argue in high court.
And these two fifteen year olds make complete sense to me. Okay,
check this out. There's claiming that the law violates their
implied constitutional right to political communication by shutting them out
of where public debate actually happens. Basically, what they're saying
(18:29):
is this is how we communicate, This is how we
continue to operate as a society. You're shutting us out.
We can no longer participate. And you know, old school
thinking says, well, just go out and talk to your friends. Well,
this is how they talk to their friends. It's not irl.
Am I wrong on this?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
I feel that the phone works just fine, Texting is available,
they can use other forms.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
You don't have to do your discourse on social media.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
No, it doesn't have to be. I mean, yes, isn't
more convenient. I mean obvious there is. It's more of
a hub for things like that. But also the world's
function pre social media. I mean, we were talking to
each other. I think that still stand.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
With the band.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And Taylor's kind of an expert on this because social
media really started popping when you were kind of in
junior high. Yes, and it affected you as a young lady, right,
Like the rule of my house for my kid is
no social media and frankly no iPhone or any of
that business until she's sixteen minimum. Like I'm pushing for eighteen,
to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I mean, that's just good parenting. In my opinion, I
think that it keeps them busy in other ways.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Something else that they are saying is that They say
the band goes too far, silences young people instead of
protecting them. What they want is for the government to
put together smarter safety measures rather than just a straight
blanket cutoff. They want to leave it to the parents.
They want to leave it to legislation. That isn't a
blanket absolute kick off the platforms. But let's really figure
(19:57):
this out. The problem is, and I'll say it, there
are so many old people running the government. They don't
understand this. They can't wrap their heads around it. Am
I wrong on that?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I agree?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, as this unfolds, whatever happens, it's going to shape
legislation and how other countries feel about it. But how
do you feel about it? Blanket ban on social media?
Everybody under sixteen? Kicked off? Or should we really drill
down finer points? Keep them on? But figure it out.
It's time for good news.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Sometimes all you need is there what a good thought
to make it a great day.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So let's do this.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
It's good news on Star one three.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Give it to you twice a morning, seven forty just
trying to make you smile. Just give a little, some
little little mental hug on the way to work or school,
or if you do and drop off right now. What's
up everybody? What's up carpool, Thank you for being on
this morning. Appreciate you. There was a hiker in Utah
who lived my worst nightmare before the good news kicked in.
His name is Austin and he got trapped in quicksand
(21:00):
during a solo hike in Arches National Park. I've never been,
but I remember my old partner Sandy used to go
there like yearly and she loved it. He managed to
alert rescuers using his GPS satellite messenger. Now I'll repeat.
He was trapped in this quicksand for hours. He said
that it felt like it felt like concrete had closed
around his legs. He said his left leg broke through
(21:23):
what looked like solid ground and when he shifted his weight,
his right leg sank to the knee, which is crazy
to me because he's safe, everything's fine, uninjured. But in
my mind I was like, wait, doesn't quicksand take you
within thirty five seconds? And as I'm thinking this in
my head, it says in the article quicksand behaves very
(21:46):
differently from how it's portrayed on TV, like it was
talking to me directly. I guess you can stand in
it for hours, so scary, but he's fine. That's my
good news. So what's what's trending on?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Start on what's happening in entertainment news, the biggest stories
of the day and everything people are talking about today
in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (22:08):

County teacher strike is over. It feels like good news

While you and I were out karaoke, people were going
back and forth. I gotta tell you, I do not
(22:50):
miss being on a school board. Boy done it. I've
done it twice. It's so same on me. But congratulations
and shout out to our lady Jean and Richmond, who
is keeping me up to date on everything. I'm so
glad that happened. Disney has announced a new partnership with
open Ai. This just broke about a half hour ago.
This includes a billion dollar investment and permission for open

be able to create AI generated videos and imaging featuring
these characters on like chat, GPT and on Sora, and
then they'll take some of the best short movies and
put them on Disney Plus. Wow, this is a groundbreaking deal.

of cash. And then we were talking about this last hour,
but in an out has removed the number sixty seven
(25:02):
from orders. It says In and Out has removed the
number sixty seven from order tickets. Because of the viral trend,
teens have been rushing restaurants trying to score the number
for clout, creating chaos, havoc anarchy at multiple locations. Have
you ever seen the videos where I have seen the
video and everybody does the six to seven.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
He's poor in and Out workers. Oh god, they did
something about it.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
They have to be so nice about it too. I
would be out of my mind right on the Star
one one three FM Instagram. We talked about it a
few minutes ago. But there is a pole and this
is a throwback Thursday poll. What are my choices are?
What's the question? What are my choices? Producer Taylor.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Yes, we are celebrating Throwback Thursday and we want to
know which retro hairstyle deserves a comeback? Is it a
perm is it the Rachel? Is it a side ponytail?

kind of in my feelings about posting them.
