Speaker 1 (00:00):
Star 1013. It's Marcus in the morning. 558. Producer Taylor
here as well. It's Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Good morning. You know how I know it was the
first day of school for my kid today?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
How?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
She was up late last night trying to finish the
required summer reading.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh, been there. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I was like, bro, you're going into seventh grade. We're
already doing this?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Is spark notes not an option anymore?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I don't even know what that is. What is that?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You don't know what spark notes is?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Is that like cliff notes?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Basically, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Same thing. She doesn't do that. She's a high, she's a,
she achieves at a high level just on her own time.
So she's like, dad, two nights ago, dad, guess how
many pages I read? She read like 220 pages in
one sitting. Like this kid, she's so smart, but also
she knows she's smart. So she just crammed it last night.
So last night she reminded me of my father who
(00:50):
went to Stanford and was studying all the time. She
had her little glasses on and she's just reading.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh, what book was it?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh God. And you were going to ask me that.
I forgot. I'll have this information tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, great.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Some dude on the cover. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's as descriptive as I get. Thanks. How are you?
Speaker 5 (01:09):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I did a face mask yesterday and I did like
my full skincare routine.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So I'm feeling pretty good about that.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
We're going to talk about the most popular dog breeds
because they just released the list. And I love dogs. Love, love, love, love, love.
The fact that we do furry Fridays every Friday warms
my heart.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You want to know something convenient I just found out?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Today is National Dog Day.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
This is why this is happening. And then this Friday,
we're going to try to help out another shelter get
cleared out. In fact, it's our friends at Berkeley Humane.
So you'll have an opportunity to meet some doggies, maybe
some kitties that need adopting. And we'll have information. You
can get a first look at 1013.com slash free Fridays.
All right. Most popular dog breeds of 2026. Number one,
(01:52):
non-designer mixed breeds, the mutts. Who are the best, by
the way?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I had a mutt.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Did you?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
What was the name?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
A silky terrier mix named Rex.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Can we post some pictures of Rex? You got pictures
of Rex? Yes, of course. Let's do that. Number two
on the list, Labrador Retriever.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Always a game winner.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
They're nuts though. I had a little mini mix lab
named Callie.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Aw.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
She was bananas.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
She ran around all the, until like, there were days,
so there were days where especially when she was a
puppy and a young adult, if you will, she'd run around,
not care, whatever, not pay attention, not listen. I would
pick her up by the scruff of her neck and, like,
stare at her, and she would just kind of raise
her little paws like, Sorry, Dad.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Aw, that's so cute.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Also on the list, Golden Retriever. We have one right
next door in the studio, right next door, one of
the other morning shows named Perk.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I do, Perk.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Did you know Perk before she was well-behaved?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Okay, if you have a golden... They're nuts too. They
are nuts. It was crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They're very trainable, but yes, their zoomies go wild.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And, and Carolyn, who does the morning show next door,
her mom is actually a golden retriever trainer.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So perk has been coming in since she was a puppy.
And if you threw that studio door open, she was gone. Oh,
literally gone. And it was just like, it was like
herding cattle. Now she's the sweetest dog. Not that she's
always been sweet.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But now she's like hop to like, she's at attention.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Uh, German Shepherds. Okay, you have to really know what
you're doing with a dog to have a German Shepherd.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah, I'm not usually into dogs that are the same
size as me.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
If you could take me in a fight, I'm a
little worried.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I had a friend who had a German Shepherd who
was fiercely protective of her two little girls.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You know what? I love that, and I've seen that
a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Well, it's frightening when you're just trying to go up
and say hi, and the dog's like, uh-uh.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Mm-mm. Those are her babies.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
The next two on this list, I'm not into at all.
In fact, I think they're kind of jerky.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I already don't agree with you.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Number six, Chihuahua. Number seven, we're not even sure how
to pronounce it, Deshund.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
No.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Dash Hound.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
A weenie dog?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Does anybody have a cool wiener dog that's not, like, snappy?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I've met cool wiener dogs.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Have you?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Most of the wiens that I meet, and Sandy loved,
my first partner loved wiens. We got our own wiener dog, Cake,
one year. But they were kind of, they're not. Unpopular opinion,
feel free to add me, at itsmarcusd. Send me a
picture of your wien. Would love to meet him. Send
me a picture of a chihuahua.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Crazy thing to say, by the way. So crazy. Do
you realize that you just said that?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I think we just peaked. I can't even do the
rest of the list here. Rounding out the top 10,
the French Bulldog, the Shih Tzu, and the Yorkshire Terrier.
I have no opinions. But I would love to meet
a cool Chihuahua because I have yet to. And I
speak Spanish.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
No, my best friend growing up had a Chihuahua named Tinkerbell.
And that was the chillest, coolest Tinkerbell dog ever.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Chihuahua. Send some photos. Send some weens.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Stop.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Please. Win picks only in my DMs. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I'm dying. I'm dying over here. Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
We have to go. I'm going to get myself in trouble.
Going back to school. A lot of people start in college.
We have a listener. And by the way, thank you
when you send in DMs and you have issues and
have questions because I feel like everybody listens to this show.
Our listening family is very helpful. They're very knowledgeable. This
dilemma is going to require somebody with more parenting experience
(05:35):
than I have. So if you have a child going
to college right now, maybe you're paying for it. Please
listen up. I got to say what's up to Holly
and Martinez who wrote in and said, good morning, Marcus.
Good morning, Taylor. I listen to every morning. Our daughter
is starting college. My husband and I are fortunate enough
to be able to pay for it without her having
to take out loans. But the major she is interested
(05:56):
in doesn't seem like it has particularly good career prospects
or trajectory. having a hard time with the idea of
spending tens of thousands of dollars on a degree that
may not help her support herself afterward. She's an adult.
I don't think we should choose her career for her,
but I also don't think that means we're obligated to
pay for whatever she decides to study. We're considering telling
(06:17):
her we're only willing to pay for half of college
if she chooses the course of study, if she chooses
a course of study that gives her a reasonable path
to a career. But if she wants to pursue something else,
she'll need to figure out at least some of the
cost herself. Is that a fair condition to put our
money or is offering to pay for college only if
(06:37):
you approve of her major just another way of controlling her? Now,
you kind of went through this. Taylor just graduated San
Francisco State. Go Gators.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yes, go Gators.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
I was a communications major with my minor in media literacy.
And You know, the communications major kind of gets a
bad rep sometimes for being like, oh, it's just like
a whatever.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
The cop out easy route.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Which I could totally understand.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Full umbrella.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, I understand that.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
But I guess like my question is, you know, are
you paying for the education that you want your daughter
to have?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Or are you paying for the education that you want
your daughter?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I think from my perspective as a parent there, it's
an investment. So like I'm investing in your future and
I'm going to be speaking very plainly here. I want
to see returns on my investment.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I had a friend go through this where she was
a marine biologist major and that was like what she
wanted to do. And then like in the last year,
she changed her mind and had to go through so
much more schooling.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And now she's a teacher.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
So and frankly, as the son of two public school teachers,
they don't make a ton of cash. You don't do
it for the money.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You do it for the light bulb to come on
when you teach a kid something. That's why they do it.
And that that unto itself is fulfilling. But from a
parental perspective, you don't want to I guess what they
don't want to do is pay for college and then
have to turn around and continue to support their their
kid as a young adult as well.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
So what's the move here? Is somebody going through this?
I guarantee you there's somebody listening that's like, yeah, I
went through that. Here's what we did. Here's what I think.
Because I don't have the answer. I don't know. I
know how I would feel. What I would want is
a plan.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Okay, if you're going to measure in folklore, how does
this end? What are we doing with this degree?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I think that's probably the route.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Why don't we sit down and come up with a
plan for this?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Okay. Has somebody gone through this? Please hit us with
a talk back if you don't mind. It's the little
red microphone. If you're streaming Star 101.3 right now, you
can leave a quick message. If you're paying for your
child's college education, how much say do you have in
their major? We got a DM from one of our listeners. Again,
shout out to Holly and Martinez. She and her husband
are in a place where they can pay for their
(09:04):
daughter's education. They don't really agree with the major. She
didn't say what the major is. That's the only missing
piece here. And so, you know, we're throwing it out there.
Leave a talk back. We've got the perfect talk back.
This might be the answer.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
I wanted to talk back about your... college education funding.
I do think that a student needs to contribute to
their education. It invests them in their future. And while
I don't love a parent telling the student what to do,
none of us can predict the future. And you can
plan all you want, but things change. And that's after
(09:41):
being a college educator for 30 years. So thanks and
good luck, everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Love it. Thank you. I knew it. I knew there
was somebody out there with the knowledge.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I think that's the biggest takeaway for me personally. We
talked about it 20 minutes ago. This is an investment.
So if you are that college student, I don't, you know,
it's not to me, it's not the parents trying to
strong arm. It's like, listen, we're going to drop a
bunch of money on this. Let's make sure we've got
a game plan. And then fair point to what is it?
The best laid plans of some, some, some, some, I
(10:10):
don't know what the, there's a saying out there somewhere. No,
like no matter what you plan for, things could change. Yeah.
You know what I mean? Or you could just like
me and just be like, look, jokes on you guys.
I'm not going to college. I'm going to be on
the radio. So exciting. You can keep them coming in. Again,
the talkback is open on anything we're discussing. Thank you
for participating. About to get into what's trending before we
do one more talkback on the subject of if your
(10:33):
parents are paying for college, how much can they dictate
what your major is? Florina has a very interesting perspective.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
At that point, the parents shouldn't even offer to pay
for college if their offer is conditional because then it
makes their love seem conditional.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So don't even tell her that you're going to pay
for her college.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Just make her find her own way, regardless of what
major she decides or what degree she decides on.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I half agree with that. I feel like my love's
not unconditional. I'm sorry. My love's not conditional, but my
money is.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Well, it's like, if you decide to change your mind,
that's like an expensive, you know, that's an expensive pivot.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah. Not that it's not going to happen. I think
there's a difference between telling your kid, listen, let's work
together and find a major that we think is, is viable.
And you're going to be a doctor. There's a difference
in my opinion. Anyway, uh, Keep them coming. Talk back open.
Also 800-800-1013. Now here's what's trending in the Bay Area
(11:39):
and beyond. There's so much happening right now. We're going
to start with the sad news you heard yesterday because
it was all over the place. Dolly Parton has passed
away at the age of 80 after what her reps
and family are calling a brief battle with cancer. And
she really planned this out. There were messages. I mean,
they were ready. You know, her nephew made a public statement.
I know she's got some some videos that were popping
(11:59):
that she recorded not too long ago. Absolute icon. This
is a weird statement, but I feel like she's been
part of my entire life. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Dolly was just omnipresent everywhere, all the time. Not only
for being a singer, songwriter, and performer, but also just
for being a really, really good human.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
And helping a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
She was definitely generationally impactful for so many different generations.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
In fact, we're going to be playing some Dolly Parton
music pretty much all morning. as we continue to celebrate
her life. But like I said, she passed away yesterday
at the age of 80 after a brief battle with cancer,
Olivia Rodrigo is taking over. I heart radio Monday night.
This is going to be live performances from her Daisy
chain fields, uh, charity festival over the weekend. That's going
(12:48):
to be fun. Make sure you're tapped in Monday night
at seven o'clock. Another super fun one Friday, Sarah Bareilles
is celebrating her new album. Good grief. Um, She's going
to be sitting down and chatting with our very own Jillian,
who comes on at 10 o'clock after this show, who
we love.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
She is.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
That's super fun. They're going to be talking about all
the things. The new album comes out Friday. She's got
a couple of shows at the Bill Graham Civic in October.
Tickets are still available for that. Speaking of concerts, Halsey
has a concert film coming out called The Girl in
the Tower, premiering globally tomorrow. Amy Winehouse, back to black,
just turned 20.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Dang. I know.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Amazing album, by the way.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
There is a 20th anniversary edition dropping on October 23rd.
Zara Larson's going to be on Fortnite. Tate McRae is
the new face of Calvin Klein. I don't have time
for all these headlines.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I know, there's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And my favorite, Sonic has gone all in on Banana.
They just launched a four-drink banana collection, including Banana Pudding Shake,
Banana Pudding Blast, Banana Pudding Cream Slushie. And something, a
banana dirty Dr. Pepper. We make dirty Dr. Peppers at
my house.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's like Dr. Pepper and cream and I think vanilla.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So it's pretty tasty. Shout out to the Sonic. The
only one that I know and the one that I
frequent is in American Canyon. Halfway between here and wine
tasting in the Napa Valley.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, I don't think I've ever been to Sonic.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
So delish. Giants taking on the Reds today. They're going
to try to sweep the three-game series. First pitch at 1245.
Come see us. The entire show will be hanging out.
In section 231, row B.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
So exciting.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Come down for hugs. Holler at your boy and your girl, Taylor.
Let's see. That's what I have that's trending. Let's wrap
really quick with Taylor's poll of the day. What do
you have?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It is National Dog Day today. So we're asking, what
is your dog vibe? Do you like big dogs, small dogs?
Are you all dogs or are you a cat person?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I'm dogs all day and I like medium size. I
like mediums.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I like small dogs.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
It's Marcus in the morning, back with Second Date Update.
You know this. Lauren is on the phone. Lauren, good morning.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Morning.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I'm hoping we can help you out this morning. I
understand you had a pretty solid date. So the guy's
name is Reed, is that right?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
And I understand he has ghosted, so let's try to
figure some things out. Give me the details. How did
it go?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Well, we had drinks in Mill Valley, and I texted
him afterwards, and he hasn't responded since. But all in all,
I thought it was a great date. So it's pretty surprising.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Did anything strange happen?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I didn't think so.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
It was pretty normal. We laughed. We drank. We ate
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I should probably stop asking that question. It's probably my
job to figure out if something weird happened. I guess
that's the point of this whole thing. At any rate,
my job is to actually get you a second date.
So let's call Reed together, shall we?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
See if we can figure this out. Go ahead and
mute your phone. I'm going to give him a shout.
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Hi, is this Reed?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Reed, my name is Marcus, and I work for iHeartRadio
out of San Francisco. I do a morning show. I
don't know if you ever listen. It's actually called Marcus
in the Morning.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
I hate to say it. I haven't actually listened. I'm
so sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
All good. I appreciate your honesty. I'm wondering if you
have a second to be on the air with us.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
We do a thing called Second Date Update. And I
got your phone number from a lady who says she
went on a date with you recently. This was in
Mill Valley. Her name is Lauren. And she's thinking maybe
you're ghosting. And so I'm just trying to figure out.
I asked her, but did something weird happen? Did you ghost?
Do you remember Lauren?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Yes, I definitely remember her. It was a lovely date.
She's very nice. She's very funny. Very attractive. But I just...
It was a little weird.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Well, she started asking me really specific questions. Like, what
time were you born? How's your relationship with your mom?
Have you ever cheated? Which I guess, you know, that's normal.
But like, here's the one that really got me. Do
(17:17):
you happen to have a scar on your left hand?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
What?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
So where was this going?
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Right, exactly. So I was like, okay, why are you
interviewing me like this? I'm starting to get a little
creeped out, right? Like, how does she know there's a
scar on my hand? And so I was like, why
are you grilling me like this? And she admits that
her psychic told her what to be looking for in
the next relationship. And apparently she would meet this guy
(17:55):
with dark hair, a complicated relationship with his mom and
a frigging scar on his hand. I'm like, are you just,
am I a rubric? Like, are you just matching me
against the psychic's description? Like, that's wild.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
That's wild. Okay. The other part of this is that
Lauren is actually listening right now.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I'd like to bring her on. Lauren, are you there?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
I'm here.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Lauren, this is a little out of the ordinary. I'm
not going to lie.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I didn't think it was a big deal.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I mean, I guess some people don't believe in psychics.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I've just been seeing mine.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
For a couple of years, and she's really good.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I mean... Yeah, apparently. So, I mean, Reed, you kind
of match this to a T.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, and that makes it, like, more disturbing.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Well, I do like you, right? But, I mean, she
said that there is something that I should watch out for.
She said I should steer clear of Gemini's, which you are.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I am a Gemini. So are you just like checking
a box? I don't, are you, are you, are.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
We asking him for another date or not? Like, I
don't get it.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I mean, I would like to see him. I didn't
think it was a big deal.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Right.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I thought he had like a sense of humor about it.
And like, like I mentioned, I've known her for many years.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
She's very accurate.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I kind of wanted to see if she was wrong
about that part because you did check off everything else.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Yeah, but you believed her enough to look for a
scar on my hand. I mean, why not?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
That's really specific.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
The fact that you have it is crazy. I think
that's crazy good.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So is that a red flag or is he a soulmate?
What's happening?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
He might be a soulmate, but the Gemini part is
where I'm like, maybe she's like a 99% type of right.
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I do want to go out with him again.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
All right. So we believe in... psychics, but not astrology. Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I like you.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I'm happy to like find out that she's wrong about this.
Like she doesn't have to be the end all be
all correct all the time. She's not perfect. Basically, what
I'm trying to ask you is, do you want to
go out with me again?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
You left me kind of hanging.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
What do you think, Reed?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Definitely no. I'm sorry. I'm just too weirded out by this.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Fair enough. Hang on. All right. Second date update. Taylor
had an interesting question off the air that I want
to bring to you if you're listening right now. How
deep into a decade can you be and still consider
yourself a child of that decade? The example that you
used was your own. Taylor literally said to me, I
was born in 99. Am I considered a 90s kid?
(20:38):
To which I said no.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Well, I'm I'm born in the 90s, but I didn't
experience the 90s, you know, especially because I'm in October
of 99. So I really only got two months and
it was over.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
You mean to.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Tell me this whole time you think you're and you
thought you were a 90s kid and you were there
for literally 10 seconds.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well, you know, I was born in the 90s, technically.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Is it cool to be a 90s kid? I think so.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
But you're not. It's strange to me to say the
words that I'm an 80s kid, because that seems like
so long ago now. It was. Basically the 1800s. But
what a time to be alive. Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I heard that was like the best era.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Can somebody please corroborate? Here's what I want. If you
were born in the 70s, Raised in the 80s, what
was your favorite part? Because I'll tell you definitively, my
favorite part was if you had a bike, you had
complete freedom, period. There was no tracking. There were no devices.
(21:43):
There was no calling, checking in, whatever. Every single person
listening right now, your parents, if you were born in
the 70s, raised in the 80s, it was literally like, listen,
just be home before the streetlights come on.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's what my parents say. That was like the rule.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
It's the truth. It was so feral back then.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
And wasn't there like a thing that popped up on
the TV that was like, where are your kids or something?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Everybody watched the 10 o'clock news back then every night religiously, right?
Peter Jennings or Dan Rather or whoever. And they would
run a public service announcement and it would be, may
she rest in peace. Could be Dolly Parton, could be
Cindy Lauper. And hey, it's 10 o'clock. Do you know
where your children are? Our parents literally had to be
(22:26):
reminded that they were parents.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's insane.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
The amount of lockdown that people experience now, full blown
college students having to check in with their, you know,
they're getting tracked on devices. We didn't have any of that.
I was eight, nine years old. Pops was going to Stanford.
I had a bike and a couple of friends and
we would routinely go. If you, if you know about
Stanford right now, if you, you know, where the subway
(22:51):
is and stuff in the student union, that used to
be a full blown arcade and a, and a bowling alley.
And now it's just like, you know, Chipotle and start and,
and it's fine. It's fine. But back in the, back
in the eighties, Oh my, the first time I passed
by the student union at Stanford and went in there
and found Ms. Pac-Man and joust and a roll of quarters.
And nobody knew what you were.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I'm going on a rant now.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
The good old days.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Oh, the eighties, the late eighties were just magical. Um,
So let me ask the question, how old do you
have to be to be considered a child of the decade?
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Right.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Like if you're born in the later part of a decade,
are you considered a part of that decade or because
you're growing up in the next decade?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Is that your decade?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Because in 1981, I was eight years old and that
was the first time I toured a radio station. Oh,
that's cool. It was before Wild 94.9 was in Wild 94.9.
It was Wild 107. And before that, it was called KSOL.
And it was just soul music. And it was in
San Mateo. And my buddy's dad worked there. And we
went and toured. And I saw the studio and the
(23:59):
lights and the buttons and the music. And the DJ
was just so cool. I was like, this is it.
This is what I'm doing. This right here.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You knew right then and there.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
And here we are. Anyway, don't make me go wax
nostalgic on the 80s, boy. Leave a quick talkback, though.
And we're going to run it tomorrow for Throwback Thursday.
what decade did you grow up in, and what was
your favorite part about it, your best memory about being
a kid? All right, it's the little red microphone. If
you're streaming Star 1013 right now, you can leave us
(24:26):
a quick message. Let's stockpile some. It's time for good news,
Bay Area. All right, so we do good news twice
a morning, 740 and 840. I love this story because
it tackles one of the things I love to shine
a light on, which is food insecurity. This is a
pair of teenagers, siblings, combining tech and pizza to feed
(24:48):
those in need. Their names are Arisa and Anish, and
they're in South Florida. They launched an app called Pizza
with a Purpose in 2024. And what this app does,
it connects pizza joints, grocery stores, and individual donors with
nearby charities and nonprofits. Organizations can receive fresh food directly
(25:08):
through the app. For example, a local food pantry, which
now receives pizza every week to help hundreds of people.
It serves. So they got this idea. So the sister
is she's an eighth grader. Her brother is a sophomore
in high school. Again, it's called pizza for a purpose.
And they were volunteering one day and they saw how
many families, including kids their own age, that were struggling
(25:30):
with food insecurity, which literally is you don't know where
your next meal is coming from. And so they created
this app in 2024. They have served. Over 25,000 slices
of pizza since then. I mean, steal this idea. Obviously,
the Bay is the home of creating apps, so I
dig this so much. If you want to learn more, again,
(25:50):
it's called Pizza for a Purpose, and I'm here for it.
I love it when little kids do big things. Anyway,
that's our good news. It's Marcus in the morning. It
is time to play the Bay's favorite trivia game. It's
called What You Know About That. Y'all know it's brought
to you by our people at Cameron's Pub in Half
Moon Bay. Come through. Let's do some karaoke this weekend.
Have some wings.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Let's take it out to Napa and say hi to
our first contestant. Gretchen is on the phone. Good morning, Gretchen.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Good morning, Marcus and Taylor.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
What do you got going on this morning? I am
between drop-offs. I just dropped off my youngest two, and
I'm back to get my oldest two to high school.
Two different drops. Wow. So you're basically driving Uber this morning.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yes, every morning.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
What are the kids' names? And say hi real quick.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Bella, Millie, Miles, and Moses.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Take it to the Tri-Valley. Out to Dublin. Say hi
to Jimmy. Good morning, Jimmy.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Good morning, Marcus and Taylor. Hey, man.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
What's going on this morning? Doing the same.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Kids drop off three different places.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Give me some names, brother.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
So we've got Jaden in middle school, Emily and Kayla
in elementary, and Malia at daycare. Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Full cars.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
If Gretchen's running Uber, Jimmy's actually on a bus route.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Bro. Welcome to the show, you guys.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Thank you. Happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Game is super simple. It's five trivia questions, 50 seconds
to answer them all. Each person is going to be
asked separately with their opponent on hold. Whoever gets the
most right answers wins. Yell out pass if you don't
know an answer, and we'll come back to it if
there's time, okay?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
All right, so Jimmy goes on hold in Dublin, and
we start with Gretchen in Napa.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Question number one. What vegetable is known for making people
cry when it's cut?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Onion.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
How many stars are on the American flag? 50. In
American football, how many points is a safety worth?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Oh, dear. One.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
What is the only species on Earth where the male
carries the unborn offspring?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
The only species on.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Earth where the male carries the unborn offspring....
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Oh, it's in the ocean.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Seahorse.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
How old was Rose in the Titanic movie when she
was recounting her story? Oh, I want to say 87
for some reason. 87. Okay, we'll go with 87 right
under the wire. Great job. Hang on the line for me.
All right, so Gretchen goes on hold in Napa, and
we pick up Jimmy in Dublin.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Away we go.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Question number one.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
What vegetable is known for making people cry when it's cut?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Onion.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
How many stars are on the American flag?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Fifty.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
In American football, how many points is a safety worth?
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Two points.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
What is the only species on Earth where the male
carries the unborn offspring?
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Oh, pass.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
How old was Rose in the Titanic movie when she
was recounting her story?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
No, I passed on that one.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Go back to the first one you passed on.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
What is the only species on Earth where the male
carries the unborn offspring?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Seahorse?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Right under the wire.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm going to give it to you. Hang on the
line for me. We're out of time. Stand by. Gretchen
comes back from Napa. See how she did against Jimmy
in Dublin. Question number one. What vegetable... is known for
making people cry when it's cut.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Both of you said onion, and that was correct.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
How many stars are on the American flag?
Speaker 5 (29:35):
So glad both of you knew that that was 50 stars,
because Marcus forgot.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
No, I did not.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Forget.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yes, you did. Why are you out of you like that?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
In American football, how many points is a safety worth?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Gretchen said one. Jimmy said two. The answer that we
were looking for was two.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
It happened before I was born anyways.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Okay, so you see the American flag like every day.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
What is the only species on earth where the male
carries the unborn offspring?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You both said seahorse and that was correct.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And finally, how old was Rose in the Titanic movie
when she was recounting her story?
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Gretchen said 87. The answer we were looking for was 100.
That brings our final score, 4-3. Jimmy was our winner.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Jimmy, by a nose. All right! Jimmy, great job writing
for the kids. He's got a $ 100 Dave & Buster's
gift card. We're going to get you set up with that.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
That's going to be gone in 10 minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah, right? Gratitude just for playing. My daughter bedazzled some
star stickers for her summer project. We're going to get
you a custom bedazzled star sticker put on whatever you want, okay?
Speaker 4 (30:34):
That's awesome. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
What are you talking about?
