Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Marcus in the morning. Producer Taylor here as well.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's Tuesday, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It is Tuesday, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
I have to remind myself because I'm going to be
the one to be like, oh, happy Monday morning.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I had a funny moment this weekend with my kid.
I think I'm accidentally training her. I'm giving her reverse
daddy issues is what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
What that means is like I'm performing too high of
a level in the service area. It's making her lazy now.
So I'll cater to her mom hand and foot all
day long. The problem is she's usually in the vicinity.
And so like I'll bring her mom breakfast in bed
or whatever. And then I'll look at her and go,
go get your own. Like she hasn't earned that right yet.
(00:39):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
She's 12. Yeah. And I haven't been doing a very
good job because I will also bring her snacks and
bring her this. And I love you. And this is
the way I show love. Yeah. And she's in this
habit now where she will bust her dishes and But
she won't put them in the dishwasher. She'll just leave
them on the counter. And so I walked in there.
(01:02):
I'm like, listen, she'll go in and make something, a
smoothie or cook something or heat something up. It'll just
be like a tornado.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, she just leaves everything out.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
She leaves everything out.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And she literally said the words. I said, well, who's
going to clean this up? She goes, well, mommy will. Oh,
I see. And I was like, oh, no. And I said, no, no,
come here. And so I'm trying to show her how
to load stuff in the dishwasher. She's like, dad, I
know how to do it. I'm just lazy.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Hey, it's time to break out the chore chart, I think.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I mean, we've done that for years. The fact that
she literally said it out loud, she goes, Dad, I
know what to do. I'm just lazy.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
At least she admits it.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I was like, well, stop doing that. Anyway, it's hard.
It's hard because I love her. I'm not around as
much as I should be. And so when I am there,
I want to cater. But she's also 12. So the
moment was when she was watching TV and she's like, Dad,
could you bring me the remote? I'm bringing my kid
(01:56):
the remote. It should be the other way around.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Honestly. Anyway, how are you? How was the Delta?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It was good. I had a good weekend. It was warm.
A lot of firsts on the Delta this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I heard about this.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So Taylor and her family routinely retreat to the Delta
where you guys have like a houseboat or something?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And especially right now, you know, it's kind of the
only thing that feels like home for my parents.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So I think they really wanted to go there. This weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You had a chance to recharge?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Yeah, reconnect with things that make them feel at home again,
you know. But.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Life on the Delta is wild. It is. Do you
see the same people every time? I've never actually been
out to the Delta.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I mean, we have
new people, old people. I mean, all sorts.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
There's a local bar, some restaurants.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
A few local bars, which we hit, I think, almost
all of them this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
This is off the coast of Stockton. Yes. Where it
goes down.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So there were a couple of firsts that went down. Yeah. A,
you braided a beard. I did. And B, you were
part of a worldwide stream.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Let's talk about the beard first. How did that go down?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well, I braid hair, especially my own. It's actually braided
right now. And when you're on the boat, your hair
is going crazy. So I braided everybody's hair and we
were sitting at the bar and this random chick comes
up and she's like, hey, can you braid my hair?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
She wasn't part of your crew.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No, she was just a random person at the bar.
And I was like, sure. Why not?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
And so I braided her hair and she was like,
how can I repay you? Let me buy you a drink.
But we had just gotten a new round. I was like,
you know, you could actually listen to the morning radio
show that I'm on.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Check out my radio show. I've trained you well.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So good.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But then her and her crew pull up. They're like, hey,
we're heading out.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And this guy had one of the longest beards I
think I've ever seen. And they convinced him to let
me braid it. And I have it on video. I'll
post it later today.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I would say you have to post that.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I absolutely will. Because I was like, this is a
moment for me. I've never braided a beard. I felt
so honored. Even his friends were saying that. He doesn't
let people touch his beard.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I was going to say, the last time I saw
a braided beard, I think it was Long John Silver,
the pirate.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh, gosh. But yeah, no. So that was really cool.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That's adorable. And then you said your cousin is low-key
TikTok famous? Yes. Because he plays guitar?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
My cousin is low-key TikTok famous. He's been playing guitar
since we were kids. And so he's been channeling that
into a live stream where he does electric guitar.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
To Led Zeppelin.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
How many followers does he have on TikTok?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I think like anywhere from 50 to 70 K.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Somewhere around there.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Solid. And you jumped on there. Were you playing tambourine?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You know, I was just there for vibes actually.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Sure. Of course.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But yeah, no, his, um, his Tik TOK is at Damascus.
If you want to check them out.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Like, you know, punk rock stuff but that was super
cool he let me on a stream and we had
a moment and it was.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Great life on the delta right this is what we do.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
No it was actually really cool too because he was
playing out like on the the top and people thought
that we had a live band and like we low-key
drew a crowd it was great.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Most exciting thing that happened to stockton since i don't even.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Know right so great God.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah. Serious holiday weekend vibes. How was your holiday weekend?
Please check in. If you're just waking up, that's totally cool.
We're here all morning. Love to hear from you. Use
the talk back on the iHeartRadio app. It's the little
red microphone. If you are streaming Star 101.3 right now,
things that are still affordable, despite everything surging in price
right now, in and out TVs and weed.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
What?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Still affordable.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I mean, I can vouch for that, actually.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
A lot of day goes by. Taylor would look me
in the face and be like, I miss In-N-Out so much.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I do. It's true. I actually might make a stop
there on my way home today.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I have to give them a shout out only because
I find their burgers, they're fine. My wife loves them.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
My daughter loves them. You guys might as well make
your own family. I think they're fine. But I will
say I respect any retailer that's just like, you know what?
We know things are more expensive, but for the consumer,
we're going to keep it real. We're going to keep
it low. Yeah. We know things are rough out there.
Costco does the same thing. I realize the hot dog
is a loss leader. They're trying to lure you with
(06:10):
the hot dog to get you to buy the TV.
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
See, but it works.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah. Dude, I'd eat that hot dog all day. Right.
What I don't like right now, what I'm feeling is,
is that gas prices have gone up. Everything has gone up.
But the second that... I don't know, this war's over
or whatever, it's not like they're going to drop gas
prices dramatically.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Because they have conditioned us to pay these prices.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Well, because we'll pay them.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
You know, I mean, we have to get gas for the.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Car, so. You know what else is crazy expensive now,
and I just found out, is gaming systems. Buying a
new Xbox or buying a PS5.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
What's like an average price?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well, when PS5s first came out, you could get one
for like 500 bucks. And I, in the moment, I
might be the last remaining gamer who is still rocking
a PS4.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
From like, I bought in Modesto in 2016. Nice. True story.
But I was like, oh, well, it's just going to
drop in price because that's what technology does. I'll just wait. Well,
now I've waited and now Grand Theft Auto is coming
out in November. And the stupid PS5 went from $ 500
now like to $ 7, 750.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's ridiculous. It's insane.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So that on top of a $ 100 video game, I'm
not doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's not worth it anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You want me to drop a rack on a gaming system?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
See, that's why you need to get a Switch.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Why?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Because a Switch is only like $ 200 and it's so
much more fun.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
$ 200 for a switch right now? That's not a bad pull.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
If you do the first switch, they just came out
with a second switch, which is basically the first switch.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So you might as well just get the first one.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So let's talk about it. Let's talk about things that
are still affordable. Other things on this list make sense too,
but they're not as interesting. Potatoes, AA batteries, libraries are
still free. Somebody wrote, being nice, still free. So is
being an a-hole.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
True.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Unwanted advice, still free. Ask Taylor. She sits with me
every morning.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
This is true.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Catching up to do from over the weekend. Taylor Swift
has revealed some of the double meanings behind her Toy
Story 5 song. I knew it. I knew you. She
says days in the opening lyric is intentionally spelled D-A-Z-E,
but it can also be heard as D-A-Y-S. Referencing blades
(08:43):
of grass. both about childhood summers and the world from
a toy's perspective. I have no idea. If somebody wants
to unwrap an Easter egg, there you go. She misses
the days of being younger, she says. Toys and the
people who help soften your landing as you grow up. Aw.
That's cute. Alex Warren took a spill at his concert
in Melbourne. He tried to jump from the stands onto
(09:06):
some recording equipment and ended up crashing to the ground.
He's fine. He posted himself with the caption, They told
me to break a leg before the show, so here
I am.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Anybody go to the EDM Festival in San Jose? You
know what? If you're a raver, it might be early,
but they had to beef up medical staffing. This was
a chain smokers show Friday night in San Jose. There
were about 14 medical emergencies. Fire officials. This is the
funniest sets ever. I'm sorry. I hope everybody's okay. Fire
officials saying the emergencies involved suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Really?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You think?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
At an EDM concert.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Wow, I'm shocked.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
What are the odds? Be sure you hydrate, everybody. That's
the takeaway here. There's going to be an Elizabeth Holmes
documentary about the founder of Theranos. And I guess they
got really... unprecedented access to her and her family just
weeks before everything went down. So this will be on A24.
I'll keep you posted on that. That should be very interesting.
(10:08):
I found that story fascinating when it broke out. Somebody
has stolen two truckloads of Guinness beer near Liverpool, England.
About 70,000 pints worth. About 300 grand, plus the trucks themselves,
valued at about $ 70, 000 apiece. How do you.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Move units that big without being caught?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
With a truck.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
You sound like you know from experience.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I guess there was a big Pabst Blue Ribbon heist
about three weeks ago in the U.S. My thing is, like,
that's heavy. That's liquid.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I know.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Of all the things to steal.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
It's kind of iconic, though. I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Sports-wise, the Giants are back at Oracle Park tonight against St.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Louis.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
First pitch at 645, Vamos Gigantes. We close very strong
with Producer Taylor's Daily Poll. What do you have?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It is National Star Trek Day today.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
So we're asking, what is the best space job?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Is it exploring new planets, meeting aliens, piloting the ship,
or just surviving?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
How do you come up with these? It's Marcus in
the morning. Time once again for second date update. Brought
to you by Pomponio Ranch Meats. From pasture-raised cows right
here on the San Mateo County coast. It's the Bay's
beef jerky. Get half off your first order. Use my code.
It's Marcus50. M-A-R-C-U-S 50 at checkout. Pomponioranchmeats.com. All right, let's
get into it. Briefly, if you go on a first date,
(11:26):
you get ghosted. You call me and then we will
call them together. You will be muted out so they
can't hear you, but you'll be able to listen in
and see what's up. Let's bring Jenna on. Jenna, are
you there? Hi. Yeah. Hi. Jen is in one of
my favorite parts of the Bay, which is Alameda, the Island.
So cute there. I'm surprised we don't get more first
dates from Alameda. Anyway, tell us about this date with Calvin.
(11:46):
How did it go? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Um, I thought we had a fantastic night, you know?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Um, we got drinks and then drinks turned into food.
You know, we walked around after it was a really
nice date and I even felt comfortable enough Like, he
drove me home, which is not, you know, that's not
always the case on.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
A date, right?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Sure, not on a first date especially. Okay. Yeah. Now,
when you DM me, you did mention something quirky that happened.
Let's let everybody know.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
So we were in the car, and before getting out
of the car, I realized that I was missing an earring. So,
you know, we're looking around, we're touching his car, looking
under the seats, and I found an earring, but it
wasn't mine.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Right. So then what happened?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So he said that it must be his sister's, and
I just laughed it off.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I was going to say, that's like a ghostable offense,
but for you, not for him. Anyway, continue. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
No, no, you're good. It's weird, right?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Like, I laughed it off.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I didn't think anything of it. And then we found
my earring in my purse. So, you know, we just
went our separate ways. And then I haven't heard from him.
I've reached out, and I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Let's call him and try to straighten this out. Go
ahead and mute your phone. Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Hi, is this Calvin?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Yeah, it's Calvin.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Calvin, it's Marcus calling from Star 101.3. How are you? Hey. Hey.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
You listen to our show?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I do.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Great. Any idea why we might be calling you?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Second date update? Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Have you posted it on a date recently?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah. Is this about Jenna?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It is. She may or may not be lurking right now. Jenna,
are you there? Jenna?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Awesome. Okay, let's do this, you guys. This is easy. Hey. So, Calvin,
you ghosted, but, like, why? The date seemed pretty amazing.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
So, yeah, I had a lot of fun. Okay. And
it was all going super well until she found the earring. And, yeah,
I'd said it was my sister's, but then, honestly, to
tell you the truth, I lied about that. And I
felt really guilty. And so I just have been avoiding
her ever since.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Why did you lie?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Well, I mean, so I've been seeing other women around.
And I was with this girl two nights earlier. And
she lost her hearing in my car. All right.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So that's who it belonged to?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Yeah. It was another woman I was seeing.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I don't understand. what the problem is. I believed you
when you said it was your sisters, but I really
don't care.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
We're both single. Yeah, so you say that, but I
don't know. I've been watching a lot of TikTok, and
women are always testing men in their lives, and I
figured if I'm lying, you'll find out eventually, and you'll
hate me for it, so it's probably best to just
avoid you. Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
What?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I'm really lost right now.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
All right.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
So instead of admitting that you lied, I wouldn't have
cared about that. I didn't care that it was someone
else's earring. We're both single. But instead of admitting that
you lied, you just ghosted me?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah. I don't want to lie to my potential partner,
and if I do lie and I get caught, you'll
be testing me, and you'll make content out of it,
and I'll get really embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You would rather just disappear?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Absolutely. That's the much safer option.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, I.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I didn't care about the earring. That didn't matter to me.
But I do care about that. I care that you
lied and then didn't admit it to me. So I
don't know where to go from here.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I mean, we should probably just tap out, right, at
this point?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hang on, okay? Hang on. That was, well, interesting, I guess.
Second date update. It's Marcus in the morning. Producer Taylor
is here. It's Tuesday, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
It's Tuesday, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Some bad news that's even worse news for you, Taylor.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Oh, no.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Apparently, Americans are over pumpkin spice.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Period. I don't know how you feel about pumpkin spice,
like just as a vibe.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
I actually just had a pumpkin spice drink from Starbucks over.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
The weekend for the first time.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Was it a PSL?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I don't know what it was, but it wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Okay. So the worst news is it's being replaced by banana. Oh,
which will send Taylor into anaphylactic shock.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
No, I'm not anaphylactic.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I saw that. I was like, this is not good news.
So here's the deal. According to data, we are over
pumpkin spice as a whole, as a nation. Caramel apple
is replacing apple pie, matcha, chai, even banana inspired coffee flavors.
That's the big hitter. Banana is the new pumpkin spice.
McDonald's has dropped pumpkin spice from its fall coffee lineup
(16:48):
for the first time in a decade. Starbucks is still
very strong.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
My question is, why do we only mess with pumpkin
spice once a year?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Because it's kind of in the same way that you
only mess with eggnog during Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
It just makes sense for the time.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
We only eat turkey at Thanksgiving. Yeah. Nobody whips out
a turkey on a Tuesday in March.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
No, because it's not the vibe.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Do we think about pumpkin in December?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I do not. I'm a pumpkin October girlie.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Those muffins my daughter made hit, though, last week.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Those were super good, yes.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
She spiced those pretty nice. I remember one time pumpkin
spice almost killed me. Why? My buddy came over, and
he's a trained chef, and he decided to throw down
Thanksgiving dinner. We did it together. We tag-teamed. Well, nobody
gave any thought to balance as far as the heaviness
of the meal because it was Thanksgiving. So we did
(17:48):
a rolled pork loin stuffed with sausage and then Brussels
sprouts cooked with bacon and then some sort of pumpkin whip. No,
it was a sweet potato whip with pumpkin spice with
like three sticks of butter in it. And I almost died. Oh,
my gosh.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Taken out by pumpkin spice.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I was like, bro, we really should have whipped a
salad or something. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Americans may be over pumpkin spice. Are you on this train?
Have you always disliked pumpkin spice? Has it jumped the shark?
These are the hard-hitting questions that we have on the
show this morning. It's time for good news, Bay Area.
Cutest story ever. Further proof that dogs are awesome. This
is the story of a police dog named Fiasco who
led searchers right to a missing six-year-old boy. And by
(18:41):
the way, we do good news at 740 and 840.
Just trying to stretch out right. School is now officially started.
Hopefully everybody's back in on the drop-off action. Thank you
for having us on every morning. Appreciate you. Anyway, Fiasco,
who typically is all about, he's a narcotics dog, but
also helps out with people searches. His handler says some
of the most rewarding work they do is finding little
(19:02):
kids and finding senior citizens when they go get lost
or go wandering off. So this boy had special needs. Again,
six years old, ran into the woods. Fiasco. got to
sniff out one of his shoes, one of his Crocs.
So he puts his honker in the Croc and goes,
hold my beer, runs off, finds the boy barefoot, wet, muddy,
(19:28):
but healthy and reunited with his family about an hour
after he was reported missing as a parent. And I
know if you are a parent, you can vibe on this.
Like that is the scariest feeling in the world is
losing your kid. Even for a minute at any rate,
Fiasco got rewarded with a big steak and I did
the deep dive into why he got his name. They
(19:49):
said as a. puppy, he was a little bit ornery
and loved to shred everything. But he has since been
just an absolute hero. So saved a six-year-old boy. That
is good news. It's Marcus in the Morning. It's time

Both of you knew that that was a bunny.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
What typically green nut member of the cashew family is
used as flavoring for ice cream as well as in

It's not a walnut. It was a pistachio. And both
of you got that right.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
On The Bachelor, The Bachelor gives what flower to contestants

Speaker 5 (23:21):
I love that you both said red rose because.

Finally, the library is one of the nine rooms in

It's Marcus in the morning. I'm getting out of here.
Stay hydrated today. Stay out of the sun. Make sure
you apply your SPF, okay? Especially to the face. It's
going to be a hot one. Heat warning coming in tomorrow.
I just want to keep you updated, all right? Have
a great day. I'll talk to you tomorrow morning.
It's Marcus in the morning. Producer Taylor here as well.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's Tuesday, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It is Tuesday, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
I have to remind myself because I'm going to be
the one to be like, oh, happy Monday morning.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I had a funny moment this weekend with my kid.
I think I'm accidentally training her. I'm giving her reverse
daddy issues is what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
What that means is like I'm performing too high of
a level in the service area. It's making her lazy now.
So I'll cater to her mom hand and foot all
day long. The problem is she's usually in the vicinity.
And so like I'll bring her mom breakfast in bed
or whatever. And then I'll look at her and go,
go get your own. Like she hasn't earned that right yet.
(00:39):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
She's 12. Yeah. And I haven't been doing a very
good job because I will also bring her snacks and
bring her this. And I love you. And this is
the way I show love. Yeah. And she's in this
habit now where she will bust her dishes and But
she won't put them in the dishwasher. She'll just leave
them on the counter. And so I walked in there.
(01:02):
I'm like, listen, she'll go in and make something, a
smoothie or cook something or heat something up. It'll just
be like a tornado.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, she just leaves everything out.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
She leaves everything out.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And she literally said the words. I said, well, who's
going to clean this up? She goes, well, mommy will. Oh,
I see. And I was like, oh, no. And I said, no, no,
come here. And so I'm trying to show her how
to load stuff in the dishwasher. She's like, dad, I
know how to do it. I'm just lazy.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Hey, it's time to break out the chore chart, I think.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I mean, we've done that for years. The fact that
she literally said it out loud, she goes, Dad, I
know what to do. I'm just lazy.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
At least she admits it.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I was like, well, stop doing that. Anyway, it's hard.
It's hard because I love her. I'm not around as
much as I should be. And so when I am there,
I want to cater. But she's also 12. So the
moment was when she was watching TV and she's like, Dad,
could you bring me the remote? I'm bringing my kid
(01:56):
the remote. It should be the other way around.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Honestly. Anyway, how are you? How was the Delta?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It was good. I had a good weekend. It was warm.
A lot of firsts on the Delta this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I heard about this.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So Taylor and her family routinely retreat to the Delta
where you guys have like a houseboat or something?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And especially right now, you know, it's kind of the
only thing that feels like home for my parents.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So I think they really wanted to go there. This weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You had a chance to recharge?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Yeah, reconnect with things that make them feel at home again,
you know. But.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Life on the Delta is wild. It is. Do you
see the same people every time? I've never actually been
out to the Delta.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I mean, we have
new people, old people. I mean, all sorts.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
There's a local bar, some restaurants.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
A few local bars, which we hit, I think, almost
all of them this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
This is off the coast of Stockton. Yes. Where it
goes down.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So there were a couple of firsts that went down. Yeah. A,
you braided a beard. I did. And B, you were
part of a worldwide stream.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Let's talk about the beard first. How did that go down?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well, I braid hair, especially my own. It's actually braided
right now. And when you're on the boat, your hair
is going crazy. So I braided everybody's hair and we
were sitting at the bar and this random chick comes
up and she's like, hey, can you braid my hair?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
She wasn't part of your crew.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No, she was just a random person at the bar.
And I was like, sure. Why not?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
And so I braided her hair and she was like,
how can I repay you? Let me buy you a drink.
But we had just gotten a new round. I was like,
you know, you could actually listen to the morning radio
show that I'm on.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Check out my radio show. I've trained you well.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So good.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But then her and her crew pull up. They're like, hey,
we're heading out.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And this guy had one of the longest beards I
think I've ever seen. And they convinced him to let
me braid it. And I have it on video. I'll
post it later today.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I would say you have to post that.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I absolutely will. Because I was like, this is a
moment for me. I've never braided a beard. I felt
so honored. Even his friends were saying that. He doesn't
let people touch his beard.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I was going to say, the last time I saw
a braided beard, I think it was Long John Silver,
the pirate.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh, gosh. But yeah, no. So that was really cool.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That's adorable. And then you said your cousin is low-key
TikTok famous? Yes. Because he plays guitar?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
My cousin is low-key TikTok famous. He's been playing guitar
since we were kids. And so he's been channeling that
into a live stream where he does electric guitar.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
To Led Zeppelin.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
How many followers does he have on TikTok?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I think like anywhere from 50 to 70 K.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Somewhere around there.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Solid. And you jumped on there. Were you playing tambourine?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You know, I was just there for vibes actually.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Sure. Of course.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But yeah, no, his, um, his Tik TOK is at Damascus.
If you want to check them out.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Like, you know, punk rock stuff but that was super
cool he let me on a stream and we had
a moment and it was.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Great life on the delta right this is what we do.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
No it was actually really cool too because he was
playing out like on the the top and people thought
that we had a live band and like we low-key
drew a crowd it was great.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Most exciting thing that happened to stockton since i don't even.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Know right so great God.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah. Serious holiday weekend vibes. How was your holiday weekend?
Please check in. If you're just waking up, that's totally cool.
We're here all morning. Love to hear from you. Use
the talk back on the iHeartRadio app. It's the little
red microphone. If you are streaming Star 101.3 right now,
things that are still affordable, despite everything surging in price
right now, in and out TVs and weed.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
What?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Still affordable.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I mean, I can vouch for that, actually.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
A lot of day goes by. Taylor would look me
in the face and be like, I miss In-N-Out so much.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I do. It's true. I actually might make a stop
there on my way home today.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I have to give them a shout out only because
I find their burgers, they're fine. My wife loves them.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
My daughter loves them. You guys might as well make
your own family. I think they're fine. But I will
say I respect any retailer that's just like, you know what?
We know things are more expensive, but for the consumer,
we're going to keep it real. We're going to keep
it low. Yeah. We know things are rough out there.
Costco does the same thing. I realize the hot dog
is a loss leader. They're trying to lure you with
(06:10):
the hot dog to get you to buy the TV.
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
See, but it works.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah. Dude, I'd eat that hot dog all day. Right.
What I don't like right now, what I'm feeling is,
is that gas prices have gone up. Everything has gone up.
But the second that... I don't know, this war's over
or whatever, it's not like they're going to drop gas
prices dramatically.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Because they have conditioned us to pay these prices.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Well, because we'll pay them.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
You know, I mean, we have to get gas for the.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Car, so. You know what else is crazy expensive now,
and I just found out, is gaming systems. Buying a
new Xbox or buying a PS5.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
What's like an average price?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well, when PS5s first came out, you could get one
for like 500 bucks. And I, in the moment, I
might be the last remaining gamer who is still rocking
a PS4.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
From like, I bought in Modesto in 2016. Nice. True story.
But I was like, oh, well, it's just going to
drop in price because that's what technology does. I'll just wait. Well,
now I've waited and now Grand Theft Auto is coming
out in November. And the stupid PS5 went from $ 500
now like to $ 7, 750.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's ridiculous. It's insane.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So that on top of a $ 100 video game, I'm
not doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's not worth it anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You want me to drop a rack on a gaming system?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
See, that's why you need to get a Switch.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Why?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Because a Switch is only like $ 200 and it's so
much more fun.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
$ 200 for a switch right now? That's not a bad pull.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
If you do the first switch, they just came out
with a second switch, which is basically the first switch.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So you might as well just get the first one.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So let's talk about it. Let's talk about things that
are still affordable. Other things on this list make sense too,
but they're not as interesting. Potatoes, AA batteries, libraries are
still free. Somebody wrote, being nice, still free. So is
being an a-hole.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
True.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Unwanted advice, still free. Ask Taylor. She sits with me
every morning.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
This is true.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Catching up to do from over the weekend. Taylor Swift
has revealed some of the double meanings behind her Toy
Story 5 song. I knew it. I knew you. She
says days in the opening lyric is intentionally spelled D-A-Z-E,
but it can also be heard as D-A-Y-S. Referencing blades
(08:43):
of grass. both about childhood summers and the world from
a toy's perspective. I have no idea. If somebody wants
to unwrap an Easter egg, there you go. She misses
the days of being younger, she says. Toys and the
people who help soften your landing as you grow up. Aw.
That's cute. Alex Warren took a spill at his concert
in Melbourne. He tried to jump from the stands onto
(09:06):
some recording equipment and ended up crashing to the ground.
He's fine. He posted himself with the caption, They told
me to break a leg before the show, so here
I am.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Anybody go to the EDM Festival in San Jose? You
know what? If you're a raver, it might be early,
but they had to beef up medical staffing. This was
a chain smokers show Friday night in San Jose. There
were about 14 medical emergencies. Fire officials. This is the
funniest sets ever. I'm sorry. I hope everybody's okay. Fire
officials saying the emergencies involved suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Really?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You think?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
At an EDM concert.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Wow, I'm shocked.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
What are the odds? Be sure you hydrate, everybody. That's
the takeaway here. There's going to be an Elizabeth Holmes
documentary about the founder of Theranos. And I guess they
got really... unprecedented access to her and her family just
weeks before everything went down. So this will be on A24.
I'll keep you posted on that. That should be very interesting.
(10:08):
I found that story fascinating when it broke out. Somebody
has stolen two truckloads of Guinness beer near Liverpool, England.
About 70,000 pints worth. About 300 grand, plus the trucks themselves,
valued at about $ 70, 000 apiece. How do you.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Move units that big without being caught?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
With a truck.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
You sound like you know from experience.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I guess there was a big Pabst Blue Ribbon heist
about three weeks ago in the U.S. My thing is, like,
that's heavy. That's liquid.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I know.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Of all the things to steal.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
It's kind of iconic, though. I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Sports-wise, the Giants are back at Oracle Park tonight against St.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Louis.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
First pitch at 645, Vamos Gigantes. We close very strong
with Producer Taylor's Daily Poll. What do you have?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It is National Star Trek Day today.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
So we're asking, what is the best space job?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Is it exploring new planets, meeting aliens, piloting the ship,
or just surviving?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
How do you come up with these? It's Marcus in
the morning. Time once again for second date update. Brought
to you by Pomponio Ranch Meats. From pasture-raised cows right
here on the San Mateo County coast. It's the Bay's
beef jerky. Get half off your first order. Use my code.
It's Marcus50. M-A-R-C-U-S 50 at checkout. Pomponioranchmeats.com. All right, let's
get into it. Briefly, if you go on a first date,
(11:26):
you get ghosted. You call me and then we will
call them together. You will be muted out so they
can't hear you, but you'll be able to listen in
and see what's up. Let's bring Jenna on. Jenna, are
you there? Hi. Yeah. Hi. Jen is in one of
my favorite parts of the Bay, which is Alameda, the Island.
So cute there. I'm surprised we don't get more first
dates from Alameda. Anyway, tell us about this date with Calvin.
(11:46):
How did it go? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Um, I thought we had a fantastic night, you know?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Um, we got drinks and then drinks turned into food.
You know, we walked around after it was a really
nice date and I even felt comfortable enough Like, he
drove me home, which is not, you know, that's not
always the case on.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
A date, right?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Sure, not on a first date especially. Okay. Yeah. Now,
when you DM me, you did mention something quirky that happened.
Let's let everybody know.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
So we were in the car, and before getting out
of the car, I realized that I was missing an earring. So,
you know, we're looking around, we're touching his car, looking
under the seats, and I found an earring, but it
wasn't mine.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Right. So then what happened?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So he said that it must be his sister's, and
I just laughed it off.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I was going to say, that's like a ghostable offense,
but for you, not for him. Anyway, continue. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
No, no, you're good. It's weird, right?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Like, I laughed it off.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I didn't think anything of it. And then we found
my earring in my purse. So, you know, we just
went our separate ways. And then I haven't heard from him.
I've reached out, and I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Let's call him and try to straighten this out. Go
ahead and mute your phone. Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Hi, is this Calvin?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Yeah, it's Calvin.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Calvin, it's Marcus calling from Star 101.3. How are you? Hey. Hey.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
You listen to our show?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I do.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Great. Any idea why we might be calling you?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Second date update? Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Have you posted it on a date recently?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah. Is this about Jenna?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It is. She may or may not be lurking right now. Jenna,
are you there? Jenna?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Awesome. Okay, let's do this, you guys. This is easy. Hey. So, Calvin,
you ghosted, but, like, why? The date seemed pretty amazing.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
So, yeah, I had a lot of fun. Okay. And
it was all going super well until she found the earring. And, yeah,
I'd said it was my sister's, but then, honestly, to
tell you the truth, I lied about that. And I
felt really guilty. And so I just have been avoiding
her ever since.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Why did you lie?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Well, I mean, so I've been seeing other women around.
And I was with this girl two nights earlier. And
she lost her hearing in my car. All right.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So that's who it belonged to?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Yeah. It was another woman I was seeing.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I don't understand. what the problem is. I believed you
when you said it was your sisters, but I really
don't care.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
We're both single. Yeah, so you say that, but I
don't know. I've been watching a lot of TikTok, and
women are always testing men in their lives, and I
figured if I'm lying, you'll find out eventually, and you'll
hate me for it, so it's probably best to just
avoid you. Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
What?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I'm really lost right now.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
All right.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
So instead of admitting that you lied, I wouldn't have
cared about that. I didn't care that it was someone
else's earring. We're both single. But instead of admitting that
you lied, you just ghosted me?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah. I don't want to lie to my potential partner,
and if I do lie and I get caught, you'll
be testing me, and you'll make content out of it,
and I'll get really embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You would rather just disappear?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Absolutely. That's the much safer option.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, I.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I didn't care about the earring. That didn't matter to me.
But I do care about that. I care that you
lied and then didn't admit it to me. So I
don't know where to go from here.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I mean, we should probably just tap out, right, at
this point?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hang on, okay? Hang on. That was, well, interesting, I guess.
Second date update. It's Marcus in the morning. Producer Taylor
is here. It's Tuesday, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
It's Tuesday, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Some bad news that's even worse news for you, Taylor.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Oh, no.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Apparently, Americans are over pumpkin spice.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Period. I don't know how you feel about pumpkin spice,
like just as a vibe.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
I actually just had a pumpkin spice drink from Starbucks over.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
The weekend for the first time.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Was it a PSL?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I don't know what it was, but it wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Okay. So the worst news is it's being replaced by banana. Oh,
which will send Taylor into anaphylactic shock.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
No, I'm not anaphylactic.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I saw that. I was like, this is not good news.
So here's the deal. According to data, we are over
pumpkin spice as a whole, as a nation. Caramel apple
is replacing apple pie, matcha, chai, even banana inspired coffee flavors.
That's the big hitter. Banana is the new pumpkin spice.
McDonald's has dropped pumpkin spice from its fall coffee lineup
(16:48):
for the first time in a decade. Starbucks is still
very strong.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
My question is, why do we only mess with pumpkin
spice once a year?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Because it's kind of in the same way that you
only mess with eggnog during Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
It just makes sense for the time.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
We only eat turkey at Thanksgiving. Yeah. Nobody whips out
a turkey on a Tuesday in March.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
No, because it's not the vibe.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Do we think about pumpkin in December?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I do not. I'm a pumpkin October girlie.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Those muffins my daughter made hit, though, last week.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Those were super good, yes.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
She spiced those pretty nice. I remember one time pumpkin
spice almost killed me. Why? My buddy came over, and
he's a trained chef, and he decided to throw down
Thanksgiving dinner. We did it together. We tag-teamed. Well, nobody
gave any thought to balance as far as the heaviness
of the meal because it was Thanksgiving. So we did
(17:48):
a rolled pork loin stuffed with sausage and then Brussels
sprouts cooked with bacon and then some sort of pumpkin whip. No,
it was a sweet potato whip with pumpkin spice with
like three sticks of butter in it. And I almost died. Oh,
my gosh.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Taken out by pumpkin spice.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I was like, bro, we really should have whipped a
salad or something. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Americans may be over pumpkin spice. Are you on this train?
Have you always disliked pumpkin spice? Has it jumped the shark?
These are the hard-hitting questions that we have on the
show this morning. It's time for good news, Bay Area.
Cutest story ever. Further proof that dogs are awesome. This
is the story of a police dog named Fiasco who
led searchers right to a missing six-year-old boy. And by
(18:41):
the way, we do good news at 740 and 840.
Just trying to stretch out right. School is now officially started.
Hopefully everybody's back in on the drop-off action. Thank you
for having us on every morning. Appreciate you. Anyway, Fiasco,
who typically is all about, he's a narcotics dog, but
also helps out with people searches. His handler says some
of the most rewarding work they do is finding little
(19:02):
kids and finding senior citizens when they go get lost
or go wandering off. So this boy had special needs. Again,
six years old, ran into the woods. Fiasco. got to
sniff out one of his shoes, one of his Crocs.
So he puts his honker in the Croc and goes,
hold my beer, runs off, finds the boy barefoot, wet, muddy,
(19:28):
but healthy and reunited with his family about an hour
after he was reported missing as a parent. And I
know if you are a parent, you can vibe on this.
Like that is the scariest feeling in the world is
losing your kid. Even for a minute at any rate,
Fiasco got rewarded with a big steak and I did
the deep dive into why he got his name. They
(19:49):
said as a. puppy, he was a little bit ornery
and loved to shred everything. But he has since been
just an absolute hero. So saved a six-year-old boy. That
is good news. It's Marcus in the Morning. It's time
