up my energy highways, so good stretch it out. I
gotta tell you, the tai chi I've been doing has
really helped my backyard.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I need to get on that tai chi game.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I'm gonna give you like three exercises. Not right now,
we don't have time. But like after we were done here,
you were talking off the air about how you didn't
go to sleep until midnight. It's a gigantic no no.
And I told you, I said, I guarantee you I
was dumber than you last Oh yes, let me tell
you what happened. So I've been battling a little bit
of a like the comm on the cusp of a cold.
(00:41):
I'm in that moment where I could beat it down
if I sleep enough, drink enough water, eat enough soup.
I have my hippie herbs that I take all of
it's been working. I think I'm on the back end
of it. But yesterday I was like, I need to
get some sleep. But you know what sounds good right now.
Some hot tea sounds good right now. Four in the afternoon,
(01:01):
and I found this lovely hot cinnamon spiced tea just
fa the fancy stuff. I'm showing her the container right now. Yeah.
It reminds me of being a kid and going to
Costplus with my mom and she would pick out this
wonderful orange cinnamon spiced tea. So I was sucking it
down yesterday. I had like six cups. Didn't dawn on
(01:25):
me to check whether it had caffeine.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
And oh my goodness, so you were wired literally last night.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I'm trying to sleep. I'm like, why can't I sleep?
I woke up this morning and I looked INGREDI at
number one black tea. Oh my goodness, I need need
to take that to work because I can't be drinking
that afternoon.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, four pm.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Anyways, you're super smart. I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Wow, no sleep game over here.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
What's going on this morning? We have tickets for Ed
Sheeran once again. Two shots, seven thirty five and then
eight oh five with the trivia game stayed with us.
Good morning, Good morning, I'm self help kick this morning.
It being after the first of the year and all
I like this a lot lifestyle tweaks to keep your
mind sharp as you age. Number one on the list.
Learn something new. I just picked up tight chi. Okay,
(02:11):
it's fascinating to me, and it's it feels like it works.
My buddy was like, it really helped my back, and
so I started doing it a few days ago. It's
like ancient, really easy movement to get your body going,
and my back does feel better. Okay, maybe it's fake.
I don't know, but I got my lymphatic system moving. God,
this is such old guy talk. It doesn't matter. So
(02:32):
learn something new. This obviously stimulates, gets your cylinders all firing.
It's important for brain health. Change your diet to include
more color with your veggies and your fruits. Are you
fruits and veggies person?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I do love my fruits and vegiees.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Okay I'm not so, That's why I hide them in
soups and sauces.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Making sense now, And the chili.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Has tomato sauce in it. I'm good okay. Yeah. Exercise
Are you an exerciser? I like to go for walks, okay,
like a lot. Did you do it? Did you do
one yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It was raining?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Did you do one the day before?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It was rain, so no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And then this is a big one. Prioritize your friends
and social connections in a world where we all just
stare at screens. And I do a lot of research
in what are called the blue zones. I don't know if
you know about these, but this it's where the people
live the longest. They've nailed down like five or six
different areas in the world, one of them being Okinawa, Japan.
And you would think there's a lady there who is
(03:32):
she's like eighty plus. She's very active, and you would
think she lives that long because maybe they eat a
lot of seafoods, could fear rain. No, she eats. She
survives on spam, that's what she eats. The secret is
she gets a lot of exercise and she DJs a
club night once a week and goes to karaoke with
the friends. So she's eighty years old. DJ's a club
on Tuesdays, goes to karaoke on Fridays. I'm going to
(03:55):
live to be one hundred and thirty six apparently, Oh yeah,
I love that. Anyway, How to keep your mind sharp
as you're aging there, you go all right, switching gears
coming up in a few minutes, you might actually relate
to this. Maybe you've got a story divorce says, spilling
the secrets there partners kept from them until they got married.
Been there? Share your story. You can use the talk
(04:15):
back It's the little red microphone on the iHeartRadio app
if you're streaming Star one on one three right now.
Producer Taylor in studio. Hello, I don't think you've gone
through this yet, but I have. Devor says, spilling the
secrets their partners kept from them until marriage. Has anybody
gone through this where you don't figure something out about
somebody until after you get married. I know you've never
been married, but you were with a guy and you
found out what now?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I found out he was engaged.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh this story never doesn't suck gets me every single time.
How did you find out?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
His fiance messaged me on Facebook? Oh she found me?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Did you drop him?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
The next day we had a three hour phone call.
Both dropped him.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Let her?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I filled her in on all the tea.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You tag teamed him, drop kicked him?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Goodbye? Well I should all right, So here are some
of the secrets that people share. This is off BuzzFeed
My wife hid the fact that she smoked until after
we were married. One evening, we just went out for
a walk with the dog. She pulled out a cigarette
casually and lit up, and I was like, oh, you smoke,
and she said, oh, I forgot to tell you.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You mean forgot to.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Tell you because three years with a stinky house, stinky
clothes and car, I bailed. I was trying to think
of something that I actually hid from my wife before
we got married. I don't know that I did. I
don't think she understood, for example, the extent of my
karaoke obsession. Oh, I see it, but we did karaoke
on our first date. I just I don't think she
realized we're going to go on tour for the next
(05:39):
fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I see.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So there's that now. The smoking thing does hit home
for me because I did smoke when she and I met,
and she told me it was a deal breaker. And
then I became Bradley Cooper and he's not just not
that into you just hiding it in the car. But
they always know, fellas. Let me just say, they always know.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Of course you stink.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I mean I mean that with everything, not just cigarettes. Oh,
they always know.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
No, we are always watching.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
We know the all knowing.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I knows eyes and ears everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Here's something that would never come up in my relationship,
she said. I didn't find out until we were engaged
how many people he'd actually supt with. It was over sixty.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Is that a conversation people have?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I feel like it shouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Have you ever had that conversation with somebody?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yes, I've been asked, and for me, it's an indicator
of immaturity.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I'm a strict don't ask, don't tell policy, like I'm
not gonna ask you, and I don't think this is
a conversation or a road we should go down.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Thank you, thank you. That's it. I don't want to know.
You know what? Chapter one starts right here, right now, period,
full stop. Anyway, share your stories again, These are divorces
talking about the secrets their partners didn't tell them until
after they got married. I know somebody's got a story,
so hit us up on the talkback. It's a little
red microphone on the iHeartRadio. If you're streaming Star one
on one three right now.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
This is what the fucking about is what's trending on Star,
what's happening in entertainment news, the biggest stories of the day,
and everything people are talking about today in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I want to lead with the consumer Electronics show highlights
from day one, or the comedy train that Bart is launching. Ooh,
comedy train, comedy train. Okay, So Sef's Sketch Fest is
going to be popping in about a week. Tickets are
on sale now, and Bart is bringing back their comedy train.
This is a rolling comedy show. It's Saturday, January twenty fourth,
(07:35):
from two to four thirty, and it's exactly what you
think it is. Comedians will board the train I guess
at twelfth Street, Oakland, starting there, and then they will
do comedy on the train.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Ooh that's fine?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Is that fine? Okay? All right? If you've never experienced
SF's Sketch Fest, it's amazing. If you like spoken word,
live performances, any kind of arts like performance on any level,
it's like a I think it's a one week deal
or a two week deal. We went and saw the
most amazing thing I gifted my wife. She loves the
movie Airplane. It's old school movie comedy. Well, they got
(08:10):
the original cast together to do a reading at the
Palace of Fine Arts, and a couple of them couldn't
make it. So like they had, Jennifer Tilly showed up,
Ralph Maccio showed up and stood in. These are big
stars from the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Taylor, Okay, no wonder, I don't know who they.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You're giving me blank stairs? Yeah, but super fun. I
would recommend SF sketch fest in family stuff too, like
for real, take the kids. Let's see. Let's move on
to the Consumer Electronics show. All kinds of fun stuff
in Vegas. Obviously AI centered. The number one hitter was
a robot vacuum cleaner that can actually climb stairs. Wow,
(08:48):
I don't know how I feel about that because the
bedroom's upstairs. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't like this.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Give me one that can open doors. Now I'm really scared.
Let's talk about the Taylor swift wine effect. Are you
ready for this?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, I know you read this story.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I did.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Producer Taylor is basically Taylor Swift, as are most of us.
Because here's what happened. So Swifties spotted a specific bottle
of wine during her five part documentary The End of
an era, and they saw it in several scenes and
now it's sold out, boom, just like that. It's a
U Sansert, which is actually it's an an appellation where
(09:30):
the wine grapes are grown. It produces pino and it
produces savvy blanc. I was gonna say, so Taylor drinks
white wine. I'm assuming that these grapes from Sansert were
a savignon blanc. Very mineral. It's exactly the way you
like it to, very sharp, very minimally. Yeah, I'm about
(09:51):
to start a wine podcast anyway, sansire if you're looking
for it, that's what she drinks. Chick fil A turning
eighty celebrating its anniversary with a year long nostalgia campaign
including permanent frosted sodas and floats, retro collectible cups, new
kids meal items, and then, of course, Cow Appreciation Day
(10:11):
is returning. This is where you dress up as a
cow and you get a free sandwich. Would you do this?
I didn't realize what a big fangirl you were.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I love Chick fil A.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Taylor has a bottle of the sauce in her refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
At Costco size.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Oh not even like the industrial size.
Speaker 2 (10:27):

in San Mateo, meeting online, very very basic dating in
twenty twenty five. How was the date?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, we met up for dinner. Honestly, like dinner, I
mean it was great, Like I honestly thought it was
a really awesome first date. Like she's really funny, she's
super thoughtful, but like what God to me was, man,
she was just so down to earth and like relaxed.
It was just one of those first dates that just
went really well in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
But laugh did she ghost?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I have, Like I've texted her a couple of times,
tried to like set up another date, and she just
hasn't messaged me back, and I don't know. I feel
like I'm being ghosted right now, and I just want

that she just had a really good energy about her
And Kyle, did you feel like you could be yourself?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Like were you too much yourself? I guess that's the question.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I mean, I don't know what that means to be.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
A weirdo at hard like I have to tell me.
I have to remind my wife on a regular basis,
you know you married a weirdo, right, like I do think?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I mean, yeah, no, I'm definitely, I mean, I've done
my little quirks. I'm definitely a little weird I got
little things that I do. Absolutely. I mean, we're all humans.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Hi, I'm looking for Renee. This is Renee. This is
Marcus in the morning. Start one on one three. How
are you?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Do you listen?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Yeah? I listen to you guys all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Actually, well we're doing second date update right now? Does
that mean anything to you?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Yes, it does.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I guess it does.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Been on a date anytime?
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Yeah, I have ghosted, and I think Kyle knows exactly
what he did.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Okay, Hey, Kyle, are you there?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I'm figuring she already knows you're on the phone. So
let's just all do this together, if you don't mind, Renee, Kyle,
Kyle Renee. So, Hi, Kyle, Renee. You know why we're calling.
How was the date?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
The date started off fine?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (14:42):
And because like the restaurant, it was basically empty, So
like the restaurant felt relaxed and the date felt low pressure.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
May I ask a question? Man, it's just because I
feel like I have a bet in my heart? Did
did Kyle get too comfortable because he said you were
super cool?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Oh that's very nice. Yeah, I mean, oh, I don't
know how to word this. Uh, he got comfortable in
interesting ways. I don't like. The restaurant was empty into
Kyle kind of he took his face to Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
When it needs you to elaborate, I don't know what
to go ahead, Sorry, no, it's okay.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Well this is confusing, right. So the first thing Kyle
did was he stacked all the dishes, like on the
table really neatly for the server.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You mean, when you guys were done.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Yeah, when we were done. He stacked all the dishes
very neatly, which was a considerate thing to do. So
I'm not going to say that it was a bad thing.
But it got a little weird when he actually stopped
the server and he kind of like gently corrected her
on how to carry the plate so that they wouldn't clink.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
How does she take that?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
The server just kind of stared at him for a
second and then walked away.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Sure, so that was kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So he was just hold on, I have it straight.
He was man'splating plate carrying correct?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Okay, No, no, there's more. So I went to the
bathroom at one point, and when I came back, Kyle wasn't.
He wasn't just sitting there waiting for me. He had
actually moved our table, not like super dramatically, just like
a few inches. But then he also moved another table,
(16:28):
and then he adjusted two chairs. And when I asked
him about it, he said he was fixing the functuay
of the restaurant because it felt off balance.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
So he rearranged the restaurant.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Yeah, he rearranged the tables and the chairs, and he
kind of explained to me that, you know, with the
place being so empty, that the energy wasn't flowing properly
and the tables needed to be more symmetrical. So it
just kind of looked like he was quietly redecorating.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Okay, Kyle, you're hearing all this, right.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Yeah, no, I'm here, I'm lifting them.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
You could see how this transcends, quirky, It just gets
a little strange.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Yes, the way she's describing it makes it seem a
lot worse than what it actually is. Okay, Like I
wasn't man splaining how to carry dishes. She was carrying
like seven plates of ours, and I wanted to make
sure that she didn't sit there and fall, her trip
or anything like that. And that was just for safety purposes, okay, Like, also,
it is considerate to stack your your dishes and stuff
(17:31):
like that. I was a server for a long time,
and whenever anybody did that for me, I always thought, oh,
this is actually a good person, so I want to
do that for other people, right, And like, yeah, I've
seen plenty of people like I worked in the restaurant
for a long time, so I saw a lot of
people fall trip, There's accidents, slips, feeling get hurt. So obviously,
like I'm just trying to help this person. It wasn't
meant to be man splaining or anything like that. I'm
(17:53):
not degenerate like that. It's just me trying.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
To be helpful.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
And then, yeah, don't get me wrong, I moved some
of this because I'm gonna be honest with you. If
you saw this restaurant and how it was laid out,
it was a disaster, okay, Like there was no functioning
throughout the restaurant. There was weird corners that shouldn't have
been there. Honestly, I don't think I did a favor
by helping and moving that stuff around.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It made it a much more free flowing area. And honestly,
I think everybody in the restaurant, including the servers, felt
it was a blot better than what it was when
I first walked in.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Okay, huh, Renee, was it better than when you walked in?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
I mean, I don't I don't actually know. I guess
it was fine. It wasn't better or worse. If it
makes them feel happy, that's great, I guess I really
don't have strong thoughts on that. At the end of
the day, I just want to be on a date
with someone who feels like, you know, they're focused on
me instead of being you know, subtly fixing the room
(18:58):
or create their version of fun shwa.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So no second date.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah, that's that's gonna be a note for me. Sorry, Kyle.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
All right, hang on, that's a lot. Second date update
back tomorrow morning after seven o'clock. We'll do it again
at nine o'clock. And then, of course you've got the
podcast on the iHeartRadio app look for Marcus in the morning.
Second date update. I love this. Next thing. Maybe because
I love to cook, Maybe because I love grocery stores.
These are ways to fight rising grocery prices. Brooster Taylor
has joined me in the studio. I know this doesn't
(19:30):
necessarily affect you, given that you're at that age that
when I was your age, I just grocery shopped at
my parents' house.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I haven't grocery shop in six months.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Oh my god, it's what's it like, it's been a while.
May I remit my application to be adopted by your parents?
Right for the rest of us, I love this number
one hitter. Turn leftovers into soups and stews.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Oh my gosh, that's you.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Speaks to me so hard.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That's so perfect for you.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
How often am I bringing soups in here? Right now?
I'm so souper day. So turn your leftovers into soups
and stews. I heard somebody say one time, spoiled leftovers
are due to a lack of imagination. So just I
like that. You know I love this too. Try a
pantry challenge. Before you go to the store, check your pantry,
what can I use? What do I have? Dig into
(20:14):
the freezer. I did this last night. My wife had
some leftover thie noodles. I went in, made a tie
sauce and defrosted a piece of chicken, which I chopped
up and put on top of the noodles. Done, little
protein done.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
If you were to do that at my house, it
would be noodles, pickles, and taheen.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
That's all you have.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That's all I have. I just went through yesterday.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
This is a hitter shop later in the day, says
Grocery stores mark down fresh items as closing time approaches.
Bake goods, prepared foods, and even produce can get steep
discounts plus fewer shoppers. This has to be after like
eight pm, right, I.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Was gonna say, I feel like it's the most busy time.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
There's a rush after work, and then everybody is presumably
home making dinner or watching that lettuce wilt in the
fridge while they order take out. There is no in between.
Look beyond eye level shelves. The most expensive brands usually
sit right at eye level for a reason, Scan down
below and up above, and then shop with a friend
and accountability buddy. That way, you're not just walking in
(21:12):
and going, oh I need that. Oh I didn't even
know that existed. I need that too. Plus you can
buy bulk items and you could split. Not a bad idea.
Did I tell you I'm thinking about buying half a cow?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yes, you did tell me.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Adam Morgan Hill. You know what happens to the price
of beef when you buy half a cow? How much
is a steak right now? Twenty eight dollars for filet
min young. If I buy half a cow from a rancher,
your per pound on beef goes to about ten or
eleven bucks. I'm just throwing it out there. It's not
for everybody. You split that with another family, you're gonna
end up with about one hundred pounds of meat. You're
gonna need a big freezer anyway, waste to save money
(21:45):
at the grocery store. What did I miss? Hit me
with your pro tips? Used to talk back on the
iHeartRadio app that little red microphone. If you're streaming Star
one on one three right now, you know what's up next?
Ed Shearon tickets were a few minutes away. Variety from

on one three. It's Marcus in the morning, Good morning morning.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Sometimes all you need is what a good thought to
make it a great day. So let's do this.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
It's good news style. But then so we do good
news twice in morning, just to restore your faith in humanity.
Maybe put a smile on your face, whether you're doing
drop off or you're head to work or work from
home or whatever. I love the headline on this story.
Story is good too. But the headline Passenger's surprise flight
attendant with mid flight barf bag full of cash. So
(23:22):
flight attendant's name is Brittany. She said she'd been having
a rough go, a rough holiday and because it was
a holiday flight, I think this was a Christmas flight,
and every passenger participated and contributed, and she was handed
a bag and she assumed it was trash, so she
set it aside, later opened it up in the galley
(23:42):
and realized it was filled with cash. I don't know
how they got every person on the flight to contribute
without somebody doing something nefarious, if I'm being honest. But
this is the reason it's good news because everybody knew
the assignment. It was two hundred and eight dollars. Said
it hit her especially hard. She'd been stressed about money,
(24:04):
worried about it affording Christmas gifts for her parents. She
said she occasionally gets small tips. She's never experienced anything
like this, and I thought that was pretty awesome. So
there you go. It's Marcus in the morning. It's time

good morning for a morning stretch stamps. I need opening
up my energy highways, so good stretch it out. I
gotta tell you, the tai chi I've been doing has
really helped my backyard.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I need to get on that tai chi game.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I'm gonna give you like three exercises. Not right now,
we don't have time. But like after we were done here,
you were talking off the air about how you didn't
go to sleep until midnight. It's a gigantic no no.
And I told you, I said, I guarantee you I
was dumber than you last Oh yes, let me tell
you what happened. So I've been battling a little bit
of a like the comm on the cusp of a cold.
(00:41):
I'm in that moment where I could beat it down
if I sleep enough, drink enough water, eat enough soup.
I have my hippie herbs that I take all of
it's been working. I think I'm on the back end
of it. But yesterday I was like, I need to
get some sleep. But you know what sounds good right now.
Some hot tea sounds good right now. Four in the afternoon,
(01:01):
and I found this lovely hot cinnamon spiced tea just
fa the fancy stuff. I'm showing her the container right now. Yeah.
It reminds me of being a kid and going to
Costplus with my mom and she would pick out this
wonderful orange cinnamon spiced tea. So I was sucking it
down yesterday. I had like six cups. Didn't dawn on
(01:25):
me to check whether it had caffeine.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
And oh my goodness, so you were wired literally last night.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I'm trying to sleep. I'm like, why can't I sleep?
I woke up this morning and I looked INGREDI at
number one black tea. Oh my goodness, I need need
to take that to work because I can't be drinking
that afternoon.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, four pm.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Anyways, you're super smart. I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Wow, no sleep game over here.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
What's going on this morning? We have tickets for Ed
Sheeran once again. Two shots, seven thirty five and then
eight oh five with the trivia game stayed with us.
Good morning, Good morning, I'm self help kick this morning.
It being after the first of the year and all
I like this a lot lifestyle tweaks to keep your
mind sharp as you age. Number one on the list.
Learn something new. I just picked up tight chi. Okay,
(02:11):
it's fascinating to me, and it's it feels like it works.
My buddy was like, it really helped my back, and
so I started doing it a few days ago. It's
like ancient, really easy movement to get your body going,
and my back does feel better. Okay, maybe it's fake.
I don't know, but I got my lymphatic system moving. God,
this is such old guy talk. It doesn't matter. So
(02:32):
learn something new. This obviously stimulates, gets your cylinders all firing.
It's important for brain health. Change your diet to include
more color with your veggies and your fruits. Are you
fruits and veggies person?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I do love my fruits and vegiees.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Okay I'm not so, That's why I hide them in
soups and sauces.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Making sense now, And the chili.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Has tomato sauce in it. I'm good okay. Yeah. Exercise
Are you an exerciser? I like to go for walks, okay,
like a lot. Did you do it? Did you do
one yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It was raining?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Did you do one the day before?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It was rain, so no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And then this is a big one. Prioritize your friends
and social connections in a world where we all just
stare at screens. And I do a lot of research
in what are called the blue zones. I don't know if
you know about these, but this it's where the people
live the longest. They've nailed down like five or six
different areas in the world, one of them being Okinawa, Japan.
And you would think there's a lady there who is
(03:32):
she's like eighty plus. She's very active, and you would
think she lives that long because maybe they eat a
lot of seafoods, could fear rain. No, she eats. She
survives on spam, that's what she eats. The secret is
she gets a lot of exercise and she DJs a
club night once a week and goes to karaoke with
the friends. So she's eighty years old. DJ's a club
on Tuesdays, goes to karaoke on Fridays. I'm going to
(03:55):
live to be one hundred and thirty six apparently, Oh yeah,
I love that. Anyway, How to keep your mind sharp
as you're aging there, you go all right, switching gears
coming up in a few minutes, you might actually relate
to this. Maybe you've got a story divorce says, spilling
the secrets there partners kept from them until they got married.
Been there? Share your story. You can use the talk
(04:15):
back It's the little red microphone on the iHeartRadio app
if you're streaming Star one on one three right now.
Producer Taylor in studio. Hello, I don't think you've gone
through this yet, but I have. Devor says, spilling the
secrets their partners kept from them until marriage. Has anybody
gone through this where you don't figure something out about
somebody until after you get married. I know you've never
been married, but you were with a guy and you
found out what now?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I found out he was engaged.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh this story never doesn't suck gets me every single time.
How did you find out?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
His fiance messaged me on Facebook? Oh she found me?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Did you drop him?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
The next day we had a three hour phone call.
Both dropped him.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Let her?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I filled her in on all the tea.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You tag teamed him, drop kicked him?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Goodbye? Well I should all right, So here are some
of the secrets that people share. This is off BuzzFeed
My wife hid the fact that she smoked until after
we were married. One evening, we just went out for
a walk with the dog. She pulled out a cigarette
casually and lit up, and I was like, oh, you smoke,
and she said, oh, I forgot to tell you.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You mean forgot to.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Tell you because three years with a stinky house, stinky
clothes and car, I bailed. I was trying to think
of something that I actually hid from my wife before
we got married. I don't know that I did. I
don't think she understood, for example, the extent of my
karaoke obsession. Oh, I see it, but we did karaoke
on our first date. I just I don't think she
realized we're going to go on tour for the next
(05:39):
fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I see.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So there's that now. The smoking thing does hit home
for me because I did smoke when she and I met,
and she told me it was a deal breaker. And
then I became Bradley Cooper and he's not just not
that into you just hiding it in the car. But
they always know, fellas. Let me just say, they always know.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Of course you stink.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I mean I mean that with everything, not just cigarettes. Oh,
they always know.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
No, we are always watching.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
We know the all knowing.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I knows eyes and ears everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Here's something that would never come up in my relationship,
she said. I didn't find out until we were engaged
how many people he'd actually supt with. It was over sixty.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Is that a conversation people have?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I feel like it shouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Have you ever had that conversation with somebody?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yes, I've been asked, and for me, it's an indicator
of immaturity.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I'm a strict don't ask, don't tell policy, like I'm
not gonna ask you, and I don't think this is
a conversation or a road we should go down.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Thank you, thank you. That's it. I don't want to know.
You know what? Chapter one starts right here, right now, period,
full stop. Anyway, share your stories again, These are divorces
talking about the secrets their partners didn't tell them until
after they got married. I know somebody's got a story,
so hit us up on the talkback. It's a little
red microphone on the iHeartRadio. If you're streaming Star one
on one three right now.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
This is what the fucking about is what's trending on Star,
what's happening in entertainment news, the biggest stories of the day,
and everything people are talking about today in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I want to lead with the consumer Electronics show highlights
from day one, or the comedy train that Bart is launching. Ooh,
comedy train, comedy train. Okay, So Sef's Sketch Fest is
going to be popping in about a week. Tickets are
on sale now, and Bart is bringing back their comedy train.
This is a rolling comedy show. It's Saturday, January twenty fourth,
(07:35):
from two to four thirty, and it's exactly what you
think it is. Comedians will board the train I guess
at twelfth Street, Oakland, starting there, and then they will
do comedy on the train.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Ooh that's fine?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Is that fine? Okay? All right? If you've never experienced
SF's Sketch Fest, it's amazing. If you like spoken word,
live performances, any kind of arts like performance on any level,
it's like a I think it's a one week deal
or a two week deal. We went and saw the
most amazing thing I gifted my wife. She loves the
movie Airplane. It's old school movie comedy. Well, they got
(08:10):
the original cast together to do a reading at the
Palace of Fine Arts, and a couple of them couldn't
make it. So like they had, Jennifer Tilly showed up,
Ralph Maccio showed up and stood in. These are big
stars from the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Taylor, Okay, no wonder, I don't know who they.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You're giving me blank stairs? Yeah, but super fun. I
would recommend SF sketch fest in family stuff too, like
for real, take the kids. Let's see. Let's move on
to the Consumer Electronics show. All kinds of fun stuff
in Vegas. Obviously AI centered. The number one hitter was
a robot vacuum cleaner that can actually climb stairs. Wow,
(08:48):
I don't know how I feel about that because the
bedroom's upstairs. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't like this.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Give me one that can open doors. Now I'm really scared.
Let's talk about the Taylor swift wine effect. Are you
ready for this?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, I know you read this story.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I did.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Producer Taylor is basically Taylor Swift, as are most of us.
Because here's what happened. So Swifties spotted a specific bottle
of wine during her five part documentary The End of
an era, and they saw it in several scenes and
now it's sold out, boom, just like that. It's a
U Sansert, which is actually it's an an appellation where
(09:30):
the wine grapes are grown. It produces pino and it
produces savvy blanc. I was gonna say, so Taylor drinks
white wine. I'm assuming that these grapes from Sansert were
a savignon blanc. Very mineral. It's exactly the way you
like it to, very sharp, very minimally. Yeah, I'm about
(09:51):
to start a wine podcast anyway, sansire if you're looking
for it, that's what she drinks. Chick fil A turning
eighty celebrating its anniversary with a year long nostalgia campaign
including permanent frosted sodas and floats, retro collectible cups, new
kids meal items, and then, of course, Cow Appreciation Day
(10:11):
is returning. This is where you dress up as a
cow and you get a free sandwich. Would you do this?
I didn't realize what a big fangirl you were.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I love Chick fil A.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Taylor has a bottle of the sauce in her refrigerator.

call in, you've been ghosted, and we just try to
figure some things out here in real time together. Let's
say good morning to Kyle. Kyle, how are you you there?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Hey? Yeah, Kyle, here, a good oneing guys, and.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Man, you got it, you got it. So we want
to talk about Renee. I understand you guys had dinner
in San Mateo, meeting online, very very basic dating in
twenty twenty five. How was the date?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, we met up for dinner. Honestly, like dinner, I
mean it was great, Like I honestly thought it was
a really awesome first date. Like she's really funny, she's
super thoughtful, but like what God to me was, man,
she was just so down to earth and like relaxed.
It was just one of those first dates that just
went really well in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
But laugh did she ghost?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I have, Like I've texted her a couple of times,
tried to like set up another date, and she just
hasn't messaged me back, and I don't know. I feel
like I'm being ghosted right now, and I just want
to know why.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Sure, all right, well we'll call her. You know this.
We're gonna put you actually not even gonna put you
on hold. We'll have you mute your phone. You can
listen in. Okay, we're gonna call her after this song?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Is that good sound? We're good?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
All right, but we'll do it next Second Date update
start one O one three. We're doing second date update.
We're chatting with Kyle by his date with Renee. We
liked the fact. Let me see what my notes say
that she just had a really good energy about her
And Kyle, did you feel like you could be yourself?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Like were you too much yourself? I guess that's the question.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I mean, I don't know what that means to be.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
A weirdo at hard like I have to tell me.
I have to remind my wife on a regular basis,
you know you married a weirdo, right, like I do think?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I mean, yeah, no, I'm definitely, I mean, I've done
my little quirks. I'm definitely a little weird I got
little things that I do. Absolutely. I mean, we're all humans.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Okay, well, let's call her and try to figure some
things out. Go ahead and meet your phone. I'm gonna
give her a shout.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Okay, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Hi, I'm looking for Renee. This is Renee. This is
Marcus in the morning. Start one on one three. How
are you?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Do you listen?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Yeah? I listen to you guys all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Actually, well we're doing second date update right now? Does
that mean anything to you?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Yes, it does.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I guess it does.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Been on a date anytime?
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Yeah, I have ghosted, and I think Kyle knows exactly
what he did.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Okay, Hey, Kyle, are you there?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I'm figuring she already knows you're on the phone. So
let's just all do this together, if you don't mind, Renee, Kyle,
Kyle Renee. So, Hi, Kyle, Renee. You know why we're calling.
How was the date?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
The date started off fine?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (14:42):
And because like the restaurant, it was basically empty, So
like the restaurant felt relaxed and the date felt low pressure.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
May I ask a question? Man, it's just because I
feel like I have a bet in my heart? Did
did Kyle get too comfortable because he said you were
super cool?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Oh that's very nice. Yeah, I mean, oh, I don't
know how to word this. Uh, he got comfortable in
interesting ways. I don't like. The restaurant was empty into
Kyle kind of he took his face to Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
When it needs you to elaborate, I don't know what
to go ahead, Sorry, no, it's okay.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Well this is confusing, right. So the first thing Kyle
did was he stacked all the dishes, like on the
table really neatly for the server.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You mean, when you guys were done.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Yeah, when we were done. He stacked all the dishes
very neatly, which was a considerate thing to do. So
I'm not going to say that it was a bad thing.
But it got a little weird when he actually stopped
the server and he kind of like gently corrected her
on how to carry the plate so that they wouldn't clink.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
How does she take that?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
The server just kind of stared at him for a
second and then walked away.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Sure, so that was kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So he was just hold on, I have it straight.
He was man'splating plate carrying correct?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Okay, No, no, there's more. So I went to the
bathroom at one point, and when I came back, Kyle wasn't.
He wasn't just sitting there waiting for me. He had
actually moved our table, not like super dramatically, just like
a few inches. But then he also moved another table,
(16:28):
and then he adjusted two chairs. And when I asked
him about it, he said he was fixing the functuay
of the restaurant because it felt off balance.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
So he rearranged the restaurant.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Yeah, he rearranged the tables and the chairs, and he
kind of explained to me that, you know, with the
place being so empty, that the energy wasn't flowing properly
and the tables needed to be more symmetrical. So it
just kind of looked like he was quietly redecorating.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Okay, Kyle, you're hearing all this, right.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Yeah, no, I'm here, I'm lifting them.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
You could see how this transcends, quirky, It just gets
a little strange.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Yes, the way she's describing it makes it seem a
lot worse than what it actually is. Okay, Like I
wasn't man splaining how to carry dishes. She was carrying
like seven plates of ours, and I wanted to make
sure that she didn't sit there and fall, her trip
or anything like that. And that was just for safety purposes, okay, Like, also,
it is considerate to stack your your dishes and stuff
(17:31):
like that. I was a server for a long time,
and whenever anybody did that for me, I always thought, oh,
this is actually a good person, so I want to
do that for other people, right, And like, yeah, I've
seen plenty of people like I worked in the restaurant
for a long time, so I saw a lot of
people fall trip, There's accidents, slips, feeling get hurt. So obviously,
like I'm just trying to help this person. It wasn't
meant to be man splaining or anything like that. I'm
(17:53):
not degenerate like that. It's just me trying.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
To be helpful.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
And then, yeah, don't get me wrong, I moved some
of this because I'm gonna be honest with you. If
you saw this restaurant and how it was laid out,
it was a disaster, okay, Like there was no functioning
throughout the restaurant. There was weird corners that shouldn't have
been there. Honestly, I don't think I did a favor
by helping and moving that stuff around.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It made it a much more free flowing area. And honestly,
I think everybody in the restaurant, including the servers, felt
it was a blot better than what it was when
I first walked in.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Okay, huh, Renee, was it better than when you walked in?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
I mean, I don't I don't actually know. I guess
it was fine. It wasn't better or worse. If it
makes them feel happy, that's great, I guess I really
don't have strong thoughts on that. At the end of
the day, I just want to be on a date
with someone who feels like, you know, they're focused on
me instead of being you know, subtly fixing the room
(18:58):
or create their version of fun shwa.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So no second date.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah, that's that's gonna be a note for me. Sorry, Kyle.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
All right, hang on, that's a lot. Second date update
back tomorrow morning after seven o'clock. We'll do it again
at nine o'clock. And then, of course you've got the
podcast on the iHeartRadio app look for Marcus in the morning.
Second date update. I love this. Next thing. Maybe because
I love to cook, Maybe because I love grocery stores.
These are ways to fight rising grocery prices. Brooster Taylor
has joined me in the studio. I know this doesn't
(19:30):
necessarily affect you, given that you're at that age that
when I was your age, I just grocery shopped at
my parents' house.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I haven't grocery shop in six months.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Oh my god, it's what's it like, it's been a while.
May I remit my application to be adopted by your parents?
Right for the rest of us, I love this number
one hitter. Turn leftovers into soups and stews.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Oh my gosh, that's you.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Speaks to me so hard.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That's so perfect for you.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
How often am I bringing soups in here? Right now?
I'm so souper day. So turn your leftovers into soups
and stews. I heard somebody say one time, spoiled leftovers
are due to a lack of imagination. So just I
like that. You know I love this too. Try a
pantry challenge. Before you go to the store, check your pantry,
what can I use? What do I have? Dig into
(20:14):
the freezer. I did this last night. My wife had
some leftover thie noodles. I went in, made a tie
sauce and defrosted a piece of chicken, which I chopped
up and put on top of the noodles. Done, little
protein done.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
If you were to do that at my house, it
would be noodles, pickles, and taheen.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
That's all you have.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That's all I have. I just went through yesterday.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
This is a hitter shop later in the day, says
Grocery stores mark down fresh items as closing time approaches.
Bake goods, prepared foods, and even produce can get steep
discounts plus fewer shoppers. This has to be after like
eight pm, right, I.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Was gonna say, I feel like it's the most busy time.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
There's a rush after work, and then everybody is presumably
home making dinner or watching that lettuce wilt in the
fridge while they order take out. There is no in between.
Look beyond eye level shelves. The most expensive brands usually
sit right at eye level for a reason, Scan down
below and up above, and then shop with a friend
and accountability buddy. That way, you're not just walking in
(21:12):
and going, oh I need that. Oh I didn't even
know that existed. I need that too. Plus you can
buy bulk items and you could split. Not a bad idea.
Did I tell you I'm thinking about buying half a cow?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yes, you did tell me.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Adam Morgan Hill. You know what happens to the price
of beef when you buy half a cow? How much
is a steak right now? Twenty eight dollars for filet
min young. If I buy half a cow from a rancher,
your per pound on beef goes to about ten or
eleven bucks. I'm just throwing it out there. It's not
for everybody. You split that with another family, you're gonna
end up with about one hundred pounds of meat. You're
gonna need a big freezer anyway, waste to save money
(21:45):
at the grocery store. What did I miss? Hit me
with your pro tips? Used to talk back on the
iHeartRadio app that little red microphone. If you're streaming Star
one on one three right now, you know what's up next?

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Sometimes all you need is what a good thought to
make it a great day. So let's do this.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
It's good news style. But then so we do good
news twice in morning, just to restore your faith in humanity.
Maybe put a smile on your face, whether you're doing
drop off or you're head to work or work from
home or whatever. I love the headline on this story.
Story is good too. But the headline Passenger's surprise flight
attendant with mid flight barf bag full of cash. So
(23:22):
flight attendant's name is Brittany. She said she'd been having
a rough go, a rough holiday and because it was
a holiday flight, I think this was a Christmas flight,
and every passenger participated and contributed, and she was handed
a bag and she assumed it was trash, so she
set it aside, later opened it up in the galley
(23:42):
and realized it was filled with cash. I don't know
how they got every person on the flight to contribute
without somebody doing something nefarious, if I'm being honest. But
this is the reason it's good news because everybody knew
the assignment. It was two hundred and eight dollars. Said
it hit her especially hard. She'd been stressed about money,
(24:04):
worried about it affording Christmas gifts for her parents. She
said she occasionally gets small tips. She's never experienced anything
like this, and I thought that was pretty awesome. So
there you go. It's Marcus in the morning. It's time
