it's friday taylor's here marcus put.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
A giant bag of popcorn in front of me and
i can't stop eating.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It should we tell everybody what we're doing with it
why we have a gigantic bag of popcorn in the
studio so we're working on a new consolation prize for
the trivia game we've run through hot sauce We did
chip clips. My daughter bedazzled stickers. She's like, Dad, do
I still have to keep bedazzling stickers? I'm like, no,
Daddy's got something else cooking. So we're working on a
(00:32):
custom bag of popcorn. Not going to tell you the
flavor yet.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I will tell you it's very good, and I can't
stop eating it, and this bag will be gone before
the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Shout out to our guys at Thatcher's Popcorn.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Thatcher's.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
San Francisco famous for letting us do a collab. So
that's hopefully coming in the next week or so. But
we are taste testing the prototypes as we speak.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Oh, delicious.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
There's nothing like getting an unmarked bag of popcorn.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Right.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That just says sample B on it. All right. What
phrase do you use to get off the phone?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
My go-to is. What's the question? is, hey, can I
call you right back?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
My mom's calling me.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Ooh, always bringing in the parents.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Star 101.3, it's Marcus in the morning. Producer Taylor is
here as well. That's the discussion. I saw this funny article.
They give a top list of best practices. Most of
these are cool. A couple of them are like, really?
That wouldn't work.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So here are a couple. Again, phrases people use to
get off annoying phone calls. All right, well... Just that? Yeah. Dot, dot. Well,
there is a dot, dot, dot. Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
The ellipses. Got it.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Well, I'd better go. That's solid.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I mean, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
If you have to go, like, bye. Well, it's been
nice talking to you.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That's not bad. They use yours. I'm getting another call.
We'll talk soon. You double down. You invoke your mom.
My mom's calling me.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Because that's one person that nobody else vetoes, you know?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Like, if my mom's calling, sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
You understand.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah. especially your mom. I would not want to stand
in your mom's way at all.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Oh, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Not for any reason, not a phone call, not anything. Um,
let's see. I'm getting another call. We'll talk soon. Not bad.
This one doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Can you get off the phone by saying, Hey, before
I go, no, that's a, that's an opening to a
whole other line of conversation.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, I feel like that's kind of a line you
say when you've already like kind of said goodbye three
times and you're like, Hey, you know, actually before I
go and then you say your piece, I.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Still don't think it works. I don't know. Here's another one.
Let's come back to this. Take care. I'll see you soon.
That's not bad.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I mean, that's pretty solid.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I love the one.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
All right.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Well, I've taken up enough of your time. That's that's
my go to typically.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Sometimes I'll say, hey, I go to the bathroom and
then just never call back.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Number two on the list of things I don't want
to stand in the way of. Exactly. Going to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I have to hand it to my best friend because
we talk just about every day on the ride home.
And then I will pull into the driveway and I
will say the words, all right, I have to go
be a dad now. I'll talk to you later.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
That's so understandable.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
And he will automatically disengage. All right, bro.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Later.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Like no, there's no long goodbye. There's no nothing. It's
just all right. Peace. And we're out.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I kind of have the same thing.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Like when I call someone for the purpose of getting
me through my car ride, wherever I'm going.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
And then I get there and I'm like, all right,
I'm home.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I got to go.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
This is over now.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Exactly. Thank you for your time.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Thank you for your usage. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Thank you for entertaining me. The argument can be made,
who's taking a phone call? But Taylor and I both,
we're kindred spirits. We like talking on the phone.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I do love yapping on the phone.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I know, it's weird. What's your go-to phrase to get
off a phone call? Let us know. This is a
talkback moment. So hit the talkback. It's the little red microphone.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
If you're streaming Star 101.3 right now on the iHeartRadio app,
leave us a 30-second message. Here are some signs that
you have your life together in 2026. And the paradigm
has shifted, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Okay. Because back in my day, I can't believe I
just said that.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
But like to know that you were an adult, to
know that you were on the right trajectory, maybe it
was when you bought a house. Maybe it was when
you got married. Maybe you had kids and a reliable car.
But in 2026, nobody can afford to buy a house.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
No.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
A lot of people don't want to get married. A
lot of people don't want to have kids. So what
are the new metrics? Okay. These are simple, but also
I think they're poignant. Are you financially responsible? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Having a job.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Having a job. That's a big one. Being able to
pay your bills on time. Do you make your bed
every day?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Ooh, I do.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Are you aware of when trash day is at your house?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Okay. Are you paying for any subscriptions you don't use?
I'm going to clean those out. Probably. Okay. Can you
say no without feeling guilty?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Not there yet.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No, I am. Oh, there's nothing. The older you get,
the less Fs you have to give.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
This is true.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
For things.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And the most powerful word in the English language is no,
no thank you. And if I feel like I like
you enough to give you a reason, I'll just be like, bro,
I don't have the bandwidth for that. And that just
means like, you know, we're not doing this. Can you
admit when you're wrong?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
That took a long time. I got seven ex-boyfriends on
the line that would beg to differ.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Can you enjoy your own company?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
We talked about this yesterday. Are you able to go
to a bar or a restaurant, sit down, eat by yourself? Okay,
I'll ratchet it up a bit without talking to anybody.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
And then I'm also taking away your phone. Are you
able to sit with your own thoughts?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
You know what, actually? Yes, because I did this recently.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I went to a bar and I had.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
my little notebook and I just doodled at the bar
and I wasn't on my phone.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Didn't talk to anyone. You might be an adult.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yay.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Finally, at 26.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Although, and I'll close with this, Taylor did share a
story off the air where you got scared so badly
yesterday you cried.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I did. Okay, but I scare easily.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Can you elaborate, please?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And if you get me good, well, my car battery
has been dying.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And I have this anxiety that the cables are going
to electrocute you.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
And so the person that was helping me, like, faked
being electrocuted when he touched them.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
And I.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
started crying i got so scared and i literally started
crying like.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Funny not funny yeah but also sometimes you're.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Ted you know what what do you want me to
do all right now.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Here's what's trending in the bay area and beyond.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Marcus in the morning producer taylor is here welcome to
friday hello it is furry fridays our uh shelter this
week is muttville senior dog rescue shout out to patty
and the crew over there taking care of our senior
dogs we have amaretto up for adoption shay's Coconuts and pom-pom.
Who was my choice? I think it was coconuts.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
They're all so cute.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
They are adorable. So it says here, Shays is a
12-year-old poodle. That's the one I want. Signature move is
backing up for butt scratches.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Oh, I love that.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
We're the same person. We're the same. Video's up right now.
Star1013FM on Instagram. with link in bio for adoption information.
Senior dogs are fantastic. Swifties think Taylor Swift may be
teasing something for the 20th anniversary of her debut album.
She's making a couple of country radio appearances this weekend,
(07:35):
and it says promotional material is using her original debut logo.
Nothing is confirmed, but they think she might be making
a country album.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I could see that.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That's the rumor, that she's going back to her roots.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Ariana Grande, starring as a California life coach, dating Greg
Fokker's son in the new Fokker-in-Law movie.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
This is Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro. They're back. Hopefully,
whoever she's life coaching doesn't have relationship issues.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Stop it. You're terrible.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I've been waiting for 10 minutes to do that joke.
Hits theaters November 25th. Speaking of relationships, Katy Perry is
saying Justin Trudeau is the, quote, love of her life
and that being in the relationship with him has been
very healing for her.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Shocked, but happy for them.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I love love. Me too. Labor Day this weekend. If
you're hitting the road earlier, always better. According to AAA,
leave before noon today. Avoid noon to 8. So either
early or late. Saturday, get out before 10 a.m. Sunday,
you should be totally cool. And then on Monday, again,
leave early. Before noon, avoid 2 to 5. Your worst
(08:42):
spot's going to be San Francisco to SAC on 80,
about 545 tonight.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Normally, going to Sac takes, what, two and a half hours?
It could take you five hours to get to Sacramento.
Don't even think about it if you're not trying to
leave early. Millbrae Art and Wine Festival is this weekend.
That's a reminder. It's free both Saturday and Sunday. You
can take a shuttle from Millbrae Bart.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That's genius. And then if you're out in the East Bay,
this is great. The Scottish Highland Games going on at
the Alameda County Fairgrounds. Taylor just watched a very large
human throw a very large object.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I know.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That was crazy. In a very large field.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
How do they train for that?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That should be super fun. That's going to be a
bunch of family friendly stuff. Bagpipes, music, food. The Scottish
ways should be super fun. Anyway, that's what's trending. Let's
wrap strong with producer Taylor's daily poll.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
What do you have?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It is National Doodle Day today. So we're asking, when
do you doodle the most? Is it at work, while
on the phone, when taking notes or when you're bored?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Nothing to do with dogs.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
No.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It's Marcus in the morning and we are back with
second date update. Let's bring our guy on. Mitchell, are
you there? Hi, I'm here. Hey, man. Good morning. Obviously,
I want to talk about your date, trying to figure
out why her name is Dana, why she ghosted. So
where was the date? What did you all do? Tell
me everything.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Yeah, we hung out for dinner in Palo Alto. And
Thursday night, we got a couple of drinks.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
That whole deal.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
And we had pretty good chemistry, I thought. You know, like,
conversation was easy. We ended up staying longer, you know, than...
than I thought we would.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Always a good sign, right?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And, um, yeah, it was just super easy. And we even,
you know, started talking about like where we would go
on our second date.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
What happened and she's ghosted and that's why I'm calling you.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Let me see if I can get her on the
phone and try to figure out why she ghosted. Okay.
All right, cool. Go ahead and mute your phone so
you can listen in. Here we go.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Hello.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Hi, this is Dana.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
This is Dana.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Dana, it's Marcus calling from Star 101.3.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Hi, Marcus.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I'm pretty good. How are you? Good.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I don't suppose you listen to my morning show, do you?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
I can't say I do.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Okay, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It's all right. If you wanted to tune in at
6 to 10, weekday mornings, 101.3. Anyway, that was a plug.
Do you have a second to be on the air? Sure.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Okay. So we do a thing. It's called Second Date Update.
And like if two people go on a date and
then one person is feeling like maybe they're getting ghosted,
I get a call and then I call their date
for a review, if you will. So there's a guy
that says he went on a date with you last Thursday.
This is in Palo Alto. I would love to get
(11:42):
your thoughts on the date. He'd love to take you
out again. His name is Mitchell. Do you mind talking
about your date with him?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yes. I would love to talk about my date with him.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Great.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
How'd it go for you?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
The date went really well.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
It went better than I expected. Uh, we really, we talked,
we hit it off.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I heard.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
We had a really great time.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
So we're having a great time. And then at some
point he says, I gotta go. I got a work meeting.
I got an early morning. I gotta get up early
in the morning. Um, I gotta leave.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Okay. And then what happened?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Well, We hugged. I'm thinking I'm feeling good. You went
really great. I was kind of feeling myself. I looked good.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You looked hot, did you?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I looked cute. Oh, yes, I did. I looked way
too good to go home.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
So I decided to go get a drink. So I
went to a bar that was, you know, just a
few blocks over.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
I walk in the front door. I see Mitchell sitting
there with a different woman.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Oh, dear God. Perfect. Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
So his early 9.30 meeting was 9.30 p.m.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I see. This is all making sense now. Okay, let
me stop you. Only because part of this is Mitchell
is actually listening in. And so, Mitchell, are you there?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
I'm here.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
You had a doubleheader, Mitchell?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Bro.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (13:24):
I mean, dating and the whole ab thing takes a
lot of time. You know, I'm like pretty busy during
the week and sometimes I stack dates.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
You stack women?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I stack dates.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
That's not different or better.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
How do you do two dates in one night?
Speaker 6 (13:45):
I mean, I just usually do, like, a 6.30 dinner,
9.30 drinks, two different first dates. Like, it's... I mean,
it's just to save time. You know, they're first dates.
It's not anything... You know, nobody's exclusive. I'm not cheating
on anyone.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
But you were lying. I mean....
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I said, I got to go.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
I didn't say I wasn't going to say I got
to go meet another woman like that felt rude.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
So dishonesty is better.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
I mean, if you call that dishonesty.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Lying.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Lying is dishonesty.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
FYI.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
When you make up a story. And you tell that
woman the story and it's not true. I didn't expect
you to end up at the same bar. That is
lying and dishonesty. Oh, well, you told me you had
to go to bed.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
I mean, again, I didn't want to be rude. I
didn't think you'd end up at the same bar. You know,
I just didn't think you'd go there.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
You could try just being honest.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I just said I had.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
An early meeting.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yeah, apparently you did with Brittany.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Her name wasn't Brittany.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I don't care what her name is, Mitchell.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Mitchell, I'm curious. How did the date go? How was
date number two?
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Not as well.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
You deserve that.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
I mean, actually, to be honest, I liked Dana more,
which is why, you know, I'm trying to get another
date with her.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
This is why we're here.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
You left me a woman who you liked more to
go on a date with a woman that you liked less.
And you got caught.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
I didn't know that yet. I mean, I hadn't gone
on the second date.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
This is totally insane.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
It's just, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
It's just stacking dates is just efficient.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
No, not okay.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
No second date, yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
No, I'm good. I'm good. I don't need a second date.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Got it. All right. Hang on. Hang on, please. Second
date update. Star 101.3, it's Marcus in the Morning, 723.
(16:16):
Producer Taylor is here. It's Friday. Let's have some fun.
What is the nickname of the town you grew up
in or that you live in currently and go?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Right now, for Los Gatos, we call it LG.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Is there another one? That might be the only one.
It's fine. The reason I ask is because I'm late
on this. I meant to deal with this last week.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Walnut Creek, and we have a lot of listeners in
Walnut Creek, but apparently they have a new nickname. So
I've always known it as the Dub C, the Creek.
It made total sense to me. The new nickname is,
and I need you to weigh in on this, is
they're calling it The Nut.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I love that. The Nut? Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I guess it's like taking off on social media.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
This is great.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
And then they're making the hats where The Nut's upside
down and they completely sold out of the Locust Festival.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
This is perfect. I like this.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Why is it low-key awkward?
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It's great. I think it's great.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Okay. Okay. Taylor's in on the nut. I am.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I love the nut.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
For Walnut Creek. So people are split. It's generational. Jan
X is like, what? And then people your age are like,
heck yeah, let's go.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I live in the nut.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Hey, we can't take life too seriously, man. The nut
is perfect.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I come from the nut. What? Whoa. So like, use
the talk back. If you live in Walnut Creek, how
are we feeling about the nut? Honestly.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
I'm a big fan.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
That's A. My other big question was, which P-town is
the real P-town? Is it Pacifica? Is it Petaluma? Or
is it Pleasanton?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Someone actually sent us a DM and said there's only
one P-town and it's Pescadero.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yes!
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Yes!
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I might be the only one that knows where Pescadero is.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
If you drive south far enough on Highway 1, you'll
hit it. Okay. It's cute there. Shout out to Duart's Tavern.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
What is it near?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Nothing. Little or nothing. I'm going to look it up.
The ocean. Go pet the baby goats. So good. So
the nickname of the town you live in.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
My other question is, I have so many questions for
the talk back, so please weigh in. So I ran
these through my boyfriend, Chet GPT. And are these even legit?
Like in Martinez, do you refer to yourselves as the Z?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Because accordingly. According to AI, the Z is the number
one nickname for Martinez.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I love everybody out there. It is the unofficial official
city of the Marcus in the Morning show. San Rafael
is San Raph, apparently.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
San Raphael.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Sure. I'll do that. And then, you know, you have
the city, SF, Frisco.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
San Fran.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
No, no. We don't have time for that discussion. Simmer down.
Oakland is the town. do people still call San Jose
San Ho?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
I do.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
What about man? Jose?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Ain't no way I'm calling it that.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
So tap in really quick. Talk backs open. Um, how
are we feeling about the nut for Walnut Creek? If
you live there, it's a 10 out of 10. The
people still call Hayward the stack, or is that a
nineties thing?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Antioch is the Yock.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
The Yock.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
It's out here. Um, Anyway, leave us a quick talk back. Again,
the little red microphone. If you're streaming Star 1013 right now,
we'll take a quick message.

understand the enormity of this win from this gentleman.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
My guy paying it forward and he got repaid in
the best way. His name is Gene. And he says, Marcus,
I've got some good news from the North Bay. I
listen on most days in the morning commute. Love the segment.
Here's my good news story. The North Bay card room
in Napa got robbed on Wednesday. It says Wednesday, Thursday
morning in August to show love to my kids' favorite
(20:34):
Pokemon store. I stopped by the following Saturday and bought
a $ 55 booster box of 2026 Prism World Cup soccer cards.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So these are player cards, right? Yeah. And when you
buy a box, like sometimes you can strike gold. You
can get lucky. He goes, well, I pulled a Cristiano
Ronaldo gold one of one. One of a mega superstar
goat in his World Cup retirement. I'm assuming he's meaning messy.
And a one-to-one Kaboom card, which has sold for over
(21:06):
a million dollars before. I don't know what any of
that means.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
But it sounds like my guy Gene scored.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
I love that for him.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
He said, I just had one of the cards graded.
It graded 10 out of 10. Good vibes.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
There you go. That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Trying to do the right thing for his kid's favorite
card store. And my guy just got it. He just
got it.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's Marcus in the morning. It is time to play
the Bay's favorite trivia game. This is called What You
Know About That. It is brought to you by my
people at Cameron's Pub in Half Moon Bay. By the way,
they do private parties. I just booked a karaoke party
for December.

I'm not shocked at all by this.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
This is how far ahead I think. Private room, they
got catering, the whole deal. Maybe I'll see you there.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Question two. For how many nights is Hanukkah celebrated?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Dave said eight nights. Cindy said seven nights. The correct
answer was eight. Dave gets the point.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Dave, do we have Adam Sandler to thank for that answer?
Eight crazy nights. Indeed. Next question. What international event is
celebrated every April 22nd?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Both of you knew that that was Earth Day.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Points all around. Next question. What is the largest island

Speaker 2 (00:07):
A giant bag of popcorn in front of me and
i can't stop eating.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It should we tell everybody what we're doing with it
why we have a gigantic bag of popcorn in the
studio so we're working on a new consolation prize for
the trivia game we've run through hot sauce We did
chip clips. My daughter bedazzled stickers. She's like, Dad, do
I still have to keep bedazzling stickers? I'm like, no,
Daddy's got something else cooking. So we're working on a
(00:32):
custom bag of popcorn. Not going to tell you the
flavor yet.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I will tell you it's very good, and I can't
stop eating it, and this bag will be gone before
the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Shout out to our guys at Thatcher's Popcorn.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Thatcher's.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
San Francisco famous for letting us do a collab. So
that's hopefully coming in the next week or so. But
we are taste testing the prototypes as we speak.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Oh, delicious.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
There's nothing like getting an unmarked bag of popcorn.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Right.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That just says sample B on it. All right. What
phrase do you use to get off the phone?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
My go-to is. What's the question? is, hey, can I
call you right back?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
My mom's calling me.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Ooh, always bringing in the parents.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Star 101.3, it's Marcus in the morning. Producer Taylor is
here as well. That's the discussion. I saw this funny article.
They give a top list of best practices. Most of
these are cool. A couple of them are like, really?
That wouldn't work.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So here are a couple. Again, phrases people use to
get off annoying phone calls. All right, well... Just that? Yeah. Dot, dot. Well,
there is a dot, dot, dot. Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
The ellipses. Got it.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Well, I'd better go. That's solid.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I mean, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
If you have to go, like, bye. Well, it's been
nice talking to you.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That's not bad. They use yours. I'm getting another call.
We'll talk soon. You double down. You invoke your mom.
My mom's calling me.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Because that's one person that nobody else vetoes, you know?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Like, if my mom's calling, sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
You understand.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah. especially your mom. I would not want to stand
in your mom's way at all.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Oh, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Not for any reason, not a phone call, not anything. Um,
let's see. I'm getting another call. We'll talk soon. Not bad.
This one doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Can you get off the phone by saying, Hey, before
I go, no, that's a, that's an opening to a
whole other line of conversation.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, I feel like that's kind of a line you
say when you've already like kind of said goodbye three
times and you're like, Hey, you know, actually before I
go and then you say your piece, I.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Still don't think it works. I don't know. Here's another one.
Let's come back to this. Take care. I'll see you soon.
That's not bad.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I mean, that's pretty solid.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I love the one.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
All right.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Well, I've taken up enough of your time. That's that's
my go to typically.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Sometimes I'll say, hey, I go to the bathroom and
then just never call back.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Number two on the list of things I don't want
to stand in the way of. Exactly. Going to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I have to hand it to my best friend because
we talk just about every day on the ride home.
And then I will pull into the driveway and I
will say the words, all right, I have to go
be a dad now. I'll talk to you later.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
That's so understandable.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
And he will automatically disengage. All right, bro.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Later.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Like no, there's no long goodbye. There's no nothing. It's
just all right. Peace. And we're out.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I kind of have the same thing.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Like when I call someone for the purpose of getting
me through my car ride, wherever I'm going.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
And then I get there and I'm like, all right,
I'm home.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I got to go.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
This is over now.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Exactly. Thank you for your time.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Thank you for your usage. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Thank you for entertaining me. The argument can be made,
who's taking a phone call? But Taylor and I both,
we're kindred spirits. We like talking on the phone.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I do love yapping on the phone.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I know, it's weird. What's your go-to phrase to get
off a phone call? Let us know. This is a
talkback moment. So hit the talkback. It's the little red microphone.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
If you're streaming Star 101.3 right now on the iHeartRadio app,
leave us a 30-second message. Here are some signs that
you have your life together in 2026. And the paradigm
has shifted, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Okay. Because back in my day, I can't believe I
just said that.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
But like to know that you were an adult, to
know that you were on the right trajectory, maybe it
was when you bought a house. Maybe it was when
you got married. Maybe you had kids and a reliable car.
But in 2026, nobody can afford to buy a house.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
No.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
A lot of people don't want to get married. A
lot of people don't want to have kids. So what
are the new metrics? Okay. These are simple, but also
I think they're poignant. Are you financially responsible? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Having a job.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Having a job. That's a big one. Being able to
pay your bills on time. Do you make your bed
every day?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Ooh, I do.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Are you aware of when trash day is at your house?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Okay. Are you paying for any subscriptions you don't use?
I'm going to clean those out. Probably. Okay. Can you
say no without feeling guilty?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Not there yet.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No, I am. Oh, there's nothing. The older you get,
the less Fs you have to give.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
This is true.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
For things.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And the most powerful word in the English language is no,
no thank you. And if I feel like I like
you enough to give you a reason, I'll just be like, bro,
I don't have the bandwidth for that. And that just
means like, you know, we're not doing this. Can you
admit when you're wrong?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
That took a long time. I got seven ex-boyfriends on
the line that would beg to differ.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Can you enjoy your own company?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
We talked about this yesterday. Are you able to go
to a bar or a restaurant, sit down, eat by yourself? Okay,
I'll ratchet it up a bit without talking to anybody.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
And then I'm also taking away your phone. Are you
able to sit with your own thoughts?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
You know what, actually? Yes, because I did this recently.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I went to a bar and I had.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
my little notebook and I just doodled at the bar
and I wasn't on my phone.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Didn't talk to anyone. You might be an adult.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yay.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Finally, at 26.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Although, and I'll close with this, Taylor did share a
story off the air where you got scared so badly
yesterday you cried.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I did. Okay, but I scare easily.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Can you elaborate, please?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And if you get me good, well, my car battery
has been dying.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And I have this anxiety that the cables are going
to electrocute you.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
And so the person that was helping me, like, faked
being electrocuted when he touched them.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
And I.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
started crying i got so scared and i literally started
crying like.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Funny not funny yeah but also sometimes you're.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Ted you know what what do you want me to
do all right now.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Here's what's trending in the bay area and beyond.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Marcus in the morning producer taylor is here welcome to

Senior dogs are fantastic. Swifties think Taylor Swift may be
teasing something for the 20th anniversary of her debut album.
She's making a couple of country radio appearances this weekend,
(07:35):
and it says promotional material is using her original debut logo.
Nothing is confirmed, but they think she might be making
a country album.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I could see that.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That's the rumor, that she's going back to her roots.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Ariana Grande, starring as a California life coach, dating Greg
Fokker's son in the new Fokker-in-Law movie.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
This is Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro. They're back. Hopefully,
whoever she's life coaching doesn't have relationship issues.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Stop it. You're terrible.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I've been waiting for 10 minutes to do that joke.
Hits theaters November 25th. Speaking of relationships, Katy Perry is
saying Justin Trudeau is the, quote, love of her life
and that being in the relationship with him has been
very healing for her.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Shocked, but happy for them.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I love love. Me too. Labor Day this weekend. If
you're hitting the road earlier, always better. According to AAA,
leave before noon today. Avoid noon to 8. So either
early or late. Saturday, get out before 10 a.m. Sunday,
you should be totally cool. And then on Monday, again,
leave early. Before noon, avoid 2 to 5. Your worst
(08:42):
spot's going to be San Francisco to SAC on 80,
about 545 tonight.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Normally, going to Sac takes, what, two and a half hours?
It could take you five hours to get to Sacramento.
Don't even think about it if you're not trying to
leave early. Millbrae Art and Wine Festival is this weekend.
That's a reminder. It's free both Saturday and Sunday. You
can take a shuttle from Millbrae Bart.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That's genius. And then if you're out in the East Bay,
this is great. The Scottish Highland Games going on at
the Alameda County Fairgrounds. Taylor just watched a very large
human throw a very large object.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I know.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That was crazy. In a very large field.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
How do they train for that?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That should be super fun. That's going to be a
bunch of family friendly stuff. Bagpipes, music, food. The Scottish
ways should be super fun. Anyway, that's what's trending. Let's
wrap strong with producer Taylor's daily poll.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
What do you have?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It is National Doodle Day today. So we're asking, when
do you doodle the most? Is it at work, while
on the phone, when taking notes or when you're bored?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Nothing to do with dogs.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
No.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It's Marcus in the morning and we are back with
second date update. Let's bring our guy on. Mitchell, are
you there? Hi, I'm here. Hey, man. Good morning. Obviously,
I want to talk about your date, trying to figure
out why her name is Dana, why she ghosted. So
where was the date? What did you all do? Tell
me everything.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Yeah, we hung out for dinner in Palo Alto. And
Thursday night, we got a couple of drinks.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
That whole deal.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
And we had pretty good chemistry, I thought. You know, like,
conversation was easy. We ended up staying longer, you know, than...
than I thought we would.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Always a good sign, right?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And, um, yeah, it was just super easy. And we even,
you know, started talking about like where we would go
on our second date.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
What happened and she's ghosted and that's why I'm calling you.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Let me see if I can get her on the
phone and try to figure out why she ghosted. Okay.
All right, cool. Go ahead and mute your phone so
you can listen in. Here we go.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Hello.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Hi, this is Dana.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
This is Dana.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Dana, it's Marcus calling from Star 101.3.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Hi, Marcus.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I'm pretty good. How are you? Good.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I don't suppose you listen to my morning show, do you?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
I can't say I do.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Okay, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It's all right. If you wanted to tune in at
6 to 10, weekday mornings, 101.3. Anyway, that was a plug.
Do you have a second to be on the air? Sure.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Okay. So we do a thing. It's called Second Date Update.
And like if two people go on a date and
then one person is feeling like maybe they're getting ghosted,
I get a call and then I call their date
for a review, if you will. So there's a guy
that says he went on a date with you last Thursday.
This is in Palo Alto. I would love to get
(11:42):
your thoughts on the date. He'd love to take you
out again. His name is Mitchell. Do you mind talking
about your date with him?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yes. I would love to talk about my date with him.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Great.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
How'd it go for you?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
The date went really well.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
It went better than I expected. Uh, we really, we talked,
we hit it off.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I heard.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
We had a really great time.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
So we're having a great time. And then at some
point he says, I gotta go. I got a work meeting.
I got an early morning. I gotta get up early
in the morning. Um, I gotta leave.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Okay. And then what happened?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Well, We hugged. I'm thinking I'm feeling good. You went
really great. I was kind of feeling myself. I looked good.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You looked hot, did you?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I looked cute. Oh, yes, I did. I looked way
too good to go home.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
So I decided to go get a drink. So I
went to a bar that was, you know, just a
few blocks over.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
I walk in the front door. I see Mitchell sitting
there with a different woman.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Oh, dear God. Perfect. Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
So his early 9.30 meeting was 9.30 p.m.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I see. This is all making sense now. Okay, let
me stop you. Only because part of this is Mitchell
is actually listening in. And so, Mitchell, are you there?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
I'm here.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
You had a doubleheader, Mitchell?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Bro.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (13:24):
I mean, dating and the whole ab thing takes a
lot of time. You know, I'm like pretty busy during
the week and sometimes I stack dates.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
You stack women?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I stack dates.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
That's not different or better.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
How do you do two dates in one night?
Speaker 6 (13:45):
I mean, I just usually do, like, a 6.30 dinner,
9.30 drinks, two different first dates. Like, it's... I mean,
it's just to save time. You know, they're first dates.
It's not anything... You know, nobody's exclusive. I'm not cheating
on anyone.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
But you were lying. I mean....
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I said, I got to go.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
I didn't say I wasn't going to say I got
to go meet another woman like that felt rude.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
So dishonesty is better.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
I mean, if you call that dishonesty.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Lying.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Lying is dishonesty.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
FYI.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
When you make up a story. And you tell that
woman the story and it's not true. I didn't expect
you to end up at the same bar. That is
lying and dishonesty. Oh, well, you told me you had
to go to bed.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
I mean, again, I didn't want to be rude. I
didn't think you'd end up at the same bar. You know,
I just didn't think you'd go there.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
You could try just being honest.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I just said I had.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
An early meeting.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yeah, apparently you did with Brittany.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Her name wasn't Brittany.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I don't care what her name is, Mitchell.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Mitchell, I'm curious. How did the date go? How was
date number two?
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Not as well.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
You deserve that.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
I mean, actually, to be honest, I liked Dana more,
which is why, you know, I'm trying to get another
date with her.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
This is why we're here.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
You left me a woman who you liked more to
go on a date with a woman that you liked less.
And you got caught.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
I didn't know that yet. I mean, I hadn't gone
on the second date.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
This is totally insane.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
It's just, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
It's just stacking dates is just efficient.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
No, not okay.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
No second date, yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
No, I'm good. I'm good. I don't need a second date.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Got it. All right. Hang on. Hang on, please. Second
date update. Star 101.3, it's Marcus in the Morning, 723.
(16:16):
Producer Taylor is here. It's Friday. Let's have some fun.
What is the nickname of the town you grew up
in or that you live in currently and go?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Right now, for Los Gatos, we call it LG.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Is there another one? That might be the only one.
It's fine. The reason I ask is because I'm late
on this. I meant to deal with this last week.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Walnut Creek, and we have a lot of listeners in
Walnut Creek, but apparently they have a new nickname. So
I've always known it as the Dub C, the Creek.
It made total sense to me. The new nickname is,
and I need you to weigh in on this, is
they're calling it The Nut.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I love that. The Nut? Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I guess it's like taking off on social media.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
This is great.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
And then they're making the hats where The Nut's upside
down and they completely sold out of the Locust Festival.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
This is perfect. I like this.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Why is it low-key awkward?
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It's great. I think it's great.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Okay. Okay. Taylor's in on the nut. I am.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I love the nut.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
For Walnut Creek. So people are split. It's generational. Jan
X is like, what? And then people your age are like,
heck yeah, let's go.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I live in the nut.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Hey, we can't take life too seriously, man. The nut
is perfect.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I come from the nut. What? Whoa. So like, use
the talk back. If you live in Walnut Creek, how
are we feeling about the nut? Honestly.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
I'm a big fan.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
That's A. My other big question was, which P-town is
the real P-town? Is it Pacifica? Is it Petaluma? Or
is it Pleasanton?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Someone actually sent us a DM and said there's only
one P-town and it's Pescadero.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yes!
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Yes!
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I might be the only one that knows where Pescadero is.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
If you drive south far enough on Highway 1, you'll
hit it. Okay. It's cute there. Shout out to Duart's Tavern.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
What is it near?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Nothing. Little or nothing. I'm going to look it up.
The ocean. Go pet the baby goats. So good. So
the nickname of the town you live in.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
My other question is, I have so many questions for
the talk back, so please weigh in. So I ran
these through my boyfriend, Chet GPT. And are these even legit?
Like in Martinez, do you refer to yourselves as the Z?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Because accordingly. According to AI, the Z is the number
one nickname for Martinez.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I love everybody out there. It is the unofficial official
city of the Marcus in the Morning show. San Rafael
is San Raph, apparently.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
San Raphael.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Sure. I'll do that. And then, you know, you have
the city, SF, Frisco.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
San Fran.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
No, no. We don't have time for that discussion. Simmer down.
Oakland is the town. do people still call San Jose
San Ho?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
I do.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
What about man? Jose?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Ain't no way I'm calling it that.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
So tap in really quick. Talk backs open. Um, how
are we feeling about the nut for Walnut Creek? If
you live there, it's a 10 out of 10. The
people still call Hayward the stack, or is that a
nineties thing?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Antioch is the Yock.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
The Yock.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
It's out here. Um, Anyway, leave us a quick talk back. Again,
the little red microphone. If you're streaming Star 1013 right now,
we'll take a quick message.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
We'd love to hear from you. Please be part of
the show.
Speaker 1 (19:39):

My guy paying it forward and he got repaid in
the best way. His name is Gene. And he says, Marcus,
I've got some good news from the North Bay. I
listen on most days in the morning commute. Love the segment.
Here's my good news story. The North Bay card room
in Napa got robbed on Wednesday. It says Wednesday, Thursday
morning in August to show love to my kids' favorite
(20:34):
Pokemon store. I stopped by the following Saturday and bought
a $ 55 booster box of 2026 Prism World Cup soccer cards.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So these are player cards, right? Yeah. And when you
buy a box, like sometimes you can strike gold. You
can get lucky. He goes, well, I pulled a Cristiano
Ronaldo gold one of one. One of a mega superstar
goat in his World Cup retirement. I'm assuming he's meaning messy.
And a one-to-one Kaboom card, which has sold for over
(21:06):
a million dollars before. I don't know what any of
that means.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
But it sounds like my guy Gene scored.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
I love that for him.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
He said, I just had one of the cards graded.
It graded 10 out of 10. Good vibes.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
There you go. That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Trying to do the right thing for his kid's favorite
card store. And my guy just got it. He just
got it.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
