The Morning Breeze, The Morning Breeze on Demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning at six oh eight, it is The Morning
Breeze with Carolyn and Court. August twenty first, twenty twenty four.
Good morning, Court, Happy Wednesday, Happy Wednesday to you. Guess
what I did last night?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I saw some pictures. So that was actually going to
be my first question for you this morning, is how
you feeling? Feeling good?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Dramatic experience yesterday. I wouldn't say traumatic, but I would
say I will never forget it. Last night I was
working at the Giants game and a ball of foul
ball off the first batter, flew off, the bat came
back toward my window, and I thought, there's no way.
The opening into the booth where I work.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Is well like two by two maybe if that I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Not really good with those numbers, Okay, okay, anyhow, I
think it's about two by two, Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I flew into the window, and you know, as it's coming,
I'm like, there's no way it's going to come into
this window, right, it can't. And then before you knew, boom,
So it came into the window. It hit the microphone.
I use, yeah, bounce down off the mic onto my finger,
which didn't feel great. Just what are your your beasting
fingers the other hands? Okay, got no more hands. I'm
(01:14):
out of hand. Wow, I know it's been a week.
And then bounced up, hit the ceiling, bounce back, hit
the DJ board, off the wall to the right, landed
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I'm already always amazed when I see people catch fly balls.
That's what I was gonna say. Stand because I when
I'm in a in a in like Oracle Park or
any ballpark, I get a little especially because you're you know,
in a tiered seating. Sure, I get worried about balance.
I get worried about people falling out of their seats. Yep,
and allow those factors. Here's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
When you watch it on TV, or even if you're
at a game and the ball isn't near you, when
somebody hits a foul ball, you think that's catchable. I
could catch that with my bare hands. But after last night,
they were hitting foul balls, you know, later on in
the game and sections two sections over for me and
I'm still ducking. Yeah, I mean it, that happens so cloqy.
But like, obviously, fine.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
You need to get yourself a mint.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Can you imagine in the in the PA boothverment, you
should do it. I told the guys that I work with,
I want to wear like a batter's helmet, like baseball helmet,
and then I don't have to do my hair anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I just come in and there you go. Funny.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
But what was awesome is I was able to give
the ball because a lot of people, you know, look
to get it to a kid, and there was a
young girl that ran up to the window and it
made me so happy to reach over and give her
the ball.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
That's cool. Crowd cheered, never think so that was awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So anyway, if you go to a baseball game or
and you see a foul ball coming your way, you
think you can catch it tougher than any thing.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Wear that helmet and bring that mit.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yes eight seven seven, nine eight one nine eight one.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
As a teacher myself, today's our first day of school,
and I'm a kindergarten teacher, so all of my kids
it could be their first experience in school. And I
am just so excited to meet my new class. I've
been prepping the class for the last two days and
I'm just excited for the first day of school.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I can only imagine what you see first day for
school for you, for them. So everybody's excited. But then
of course you always have the kids that are less excited,
that are scared because it's kindergarten, it's their first time
in school.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, there's you're sometimes you have your criers the kids,
but don't that it's their first time, so they don't
want to leave. You know, I'm excited, but my room
isn't exactly perfect. But as my husband said, because I
worked really late, he says, your kids are never going
to know they haven't been in your classroom. So if
it's not perfect, don't fret.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I've got family members that are that are teachers. And
the amount of effort the teachers put into making their
rooms feel like a like a fun place to be, yeah,
it is pretty great. And most of that money, the
effort and money that goes into that, that's coming out
of your own pocket. Right.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Oh yeah, absolutely. I've already spent hundreds of dollars wow
this year, so you know, and it'll be thousands by
the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So the reason why we love our teachers and makes
them so special.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
So yeah, I love it, and I'm excited and a
little scared because you know, teachers are scared too when
they're when they start out their first year.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Well, I think that's totally understandable.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Though this is year twenty one for me, year eleven
in kindergarten, but it's still it's still a little nerve
wracking in the first day of school.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Wow, that's that's interesting to think about after all these years.
The teachers come in a little bit nervous as well.
But yeah, absolutely, well, Jail, thank.
Speaker 2 (09:49):

school today.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Jeans Michael Jackson at seven twenty four, It's the Morning
Breeze with Carolyn and in courts.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's an interesting statistic yesterday court fifty four percent of
dog owners say they would consider ending a relationship if
their dog didn't take a liking to their partner. What
over half of everybody says, if my dog doesn't like this.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
New person I'm dating, Yep, they're out of here. They're out. Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So let's how do I make this not weird. Let's
pretend you're not married. It's sorry, weird.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Forget it. Wait a bite? Did you know something I
don't know? You've been married for like a million years.
This is weird to say those words. Here's how you
do it. Okay, I don't have to be I don't
have to be dating somebody. Let's just say, okay, I
have a new best friend. Okay, Let's say this Carl
down the street. Carl, Yep, it decides to we decide, Hey,
we're gonna be buddies. So I invite Carl over to
(11:52):
the house. Yep. And Leo and Charlie don't like Carl. Nope.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Does Carl get to come back to the house? Never forget,
not at all? Really, Oh, I would trust Charlie. I
would trust Leo. Charlie suspect of everybody. He's still suspect
of me. Oh he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
He looks at Randy weird sometimes. I mean, we know
he loves us, but he's he's kind of a special dog. Yeah,
he's not sure. But Leo. If Leo showed any signs
of of oh there's something something.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Off here, yeah, that might interesting. That's a friendship, and
you might not. Well, I just met Carl, so it's fine. Yeah,
why do I feel like Carl is actually real? Now?
I think I would trust my dog too. Honestly, if
I think I'm in this fifty four percent, if I
brought a guy over and Perk did not take a liking,
(12:41):
which she likes everybody, so that even that would be
the sign.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It would be a sign you kind of have to
need to know your dog. We had a dog years ago, Roscoe,
best dog ever. Oh yeah, and we you know, we
got him part partially because the kids want a dog,
and also it would be nice to have a you know,
a dog in the house for protection. Sure Roscoe was
friends with there was no protecting that was gonna go.
A burglar comes in and yeah, there might have been
like an initial bark that would scare somebody, but after that,
(13:08):
like that, that burglar is getting lots and lots of
licks tail wagon.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I wonder if anybody listening has ever had this happen
where you bring somebody new into your house or your
relationship and your pet doesn't like them, and you say, no,
I got I have to make that decision.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They're out of here. I got your thinking, maybe there's
something off about this person.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I wonder call us if this has happened to you
eight seven seven nine nine eight one. Also in this study,
it says ninety four percent of dog owners view their
dogs as family. No surprise, of course, no surprise at all.
You can also send us a message with our iHeartRadio app.
That talk back mic works great, and the nice thing
about that is you can do it when it's convenient
for you. You could be home later today and you're like.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know what, Carolyn and Court, we're talking about this
this morning. Just send a message. You could be out
for a bike ride. You could be on your bike
listening to the Breeze on the on our iHeart Radio AM.
Just click that red microphone button. Leave your message. It
comes here in the studio. That's how it works, easier
said than you're riding the bike. You gotta be a
little more careful. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Are iHeart Radio app free you and your app store
or ninety eight one The Breeze dot com Tracy Chapman,
Fast car. It is the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court.
It's seven forty three.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Carolyn. You've ever those moments where the simplest task to
do just escape your brain on how to pull it off. Yes,
I bring this up because the other day. So, if
you haven't heard, Carolyn and I have become roommates. Sort
of okay, wow, sort of.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
So when I'm working at the Giants on weeknights, Yeah,
I'm renting a room, a separate room, yes, separate floor
from Court. Sure, because he has a big, huge apartment
exactly right, no. Yeah, So I'm renting a room a
couple of nights a week when I do the Giants,
And so when I go to the game.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I'm hanging out with Per. Perchose hanging out here, You're
the best. And so I was taking Per out to
use the potty, and you use the I don't even
know what you call the collar type of color loops
on itself. Yeah, and because typically she doesn't even have
a collar on. Right, she's wondering about free Spirit, so
you had taken it off. I'm I grabbed that. I
(15:16):
grab it, take her outside, and I can't figure out
how to loop this thing? Make this thing work?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, So it's like a singular chain with rings on
either ends. You have to kind of put the chain
one of the rings and then you pull through itself out.
I literally for a half hour sat and looked.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
At this thing, tried it and like, what how do
I make these two loops go through?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
It?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Just so bad? I can't figure out And I was
about to google it or text you God, both of
which was very embarrassing for me. Oh that's so funny.
So then I finally just I put it down for
a minute, gave myself a pause, and then I was like, oh,
wait a minute, this is how it works. Sure enough,
I figured it out.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's one of those things you have to walk away
from and then it pops into your mind like, wait
a minute.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
This is how you do it. It's the simplest of tasks.
That's how it goes. You know what.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I did that with a luggage tag the other day.
So I have this luggage tag. Yeah, and it's I
don't even know how to describe this. It's a singular
piece of plastic plastic that loops through the hole in
the luggage shag.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
You loop it on itself. Court I had to stop.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I was sweating in my garage trying to loop this
tag around my luggage. It was hurting my hands, and
I'm like, if my hand's hurt, I'm doing something wrong.
This shouldn't be painful to put a luggage tag on.
And then literally four days later I went back out
to try it and I did it.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Boo boo boop done. It's almost like it's so simple.
Your brain thinks, yeah, it just stops working because it
thinks it's harder than it actually is.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Oh No, I had diagnosed myself with dementia. When I
was doing this, I'm like.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
That's it, it's happening. See, and I can take it
a step further. I've had those moments where I'm literally
at a grocery store and I have to type in
my phone number to get it like a discount, and
I can't remember my phone number. Oh really, you just
made me feel just so much better. I completely go
blank on what my phone number is. See, this is
it's slippery slope I've had. I've had the same phone
number for over twenty years.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
No, this is how it happens. This all, this is
how aging happens. Okay, I'm your elder, trust me, trust me.
But if this has happened for you, like the simple
tasks that sometimes can be a little more too simple
times eight seven seven one nine eight one. Basically, we
just want you to make us feel better and less stupid.

You've got the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Quird and Carolyn,
I think we need to talk about this photo that
(17:53):
you posted on Was it on Instagram last night?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
My goodness? And my stories on Instagram? Yeah, yeah, you had.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Let's call it an incident. It was at the ballpark
last night. Man, I've had a week. First, I got
the wasp attack.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We should no longer call it a beasting.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
We think it was a wasp, a wasp attack where
I got stung several times on my right hand.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It swoll swoll up to like five times inside. It
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So last night I was working at the Giants game.
If you haven't heard, I'm their public address announcer. Yep,
And I was in the booth and it was the
first batter who hit a foul ball and it happened
so quickly. I saw it flying toward me. And I
have a window that I look out that's open. It's
(18:38):
not a very big space, right, and I'm thinking, there's
no way this is coming in this window. And right
when I thought that, okay, yeah, so the ball, the
foul ball flew into the window, hit my microphone, went
down onto my finger, which hurt that stuff of your
fingers badly, but not but not your B hand, not
my b hands.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
And now I've two.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Now I'm out of hands. I got two injured hands.
And it bounce from my fingertip up off the ceiling
down and hit our DJ Jeremy behind me his board,
and then bounced off the side wall and hit the deck.
And I was like, what are the odds that this
has happened. So I bring this up to say, if
you ever go to a baseball game or you're watching
(19:22):
on TV and you see a foul ball and you're thinking,
you know what, I cant catch that, man, when you
see it happen like that and how quickly it comes.
So now I'm marveling at all these people that I
am able to do games that are catching foul ball.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You always see people catch it that bring their mits,
but sometimes you see people who catch it with it
either their hat or their bare hand.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yes, there's always the guy that wants to catch it
in his beer, his cup of beer. He's holding his baby,
and those videos go viral. Now I'm really impressed by those.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I will never ever be the person at the ballpark
trying to catch a flyball. I had a bad experience
playing softball as a kid. Oh or the ball bounced
out of my mit hit me in the face. Oh yeah,
And so I've I've always been a little afraid now
of baseballs.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Well for the rest of the night last night, when
foul balls would even come even two sections over from
where I was sitting, I'm ducking because you're And it's
crazy too, because you can hear I've heard it up
to yesterday, you know. I hear the or I see
the balls come into the section in front of me,
and i hear it slap people's hands, and I'm thinking
it's got a hurt.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
But nobody ever reacts like I don't. Part of the game.
There's part of the game. There's no crying in baseball.
There's no crying in baseball.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So anyway, next time you go to a game, foul
ball comes your way, take it from me. It hurts,
and you need to start. You need to start taking
a mitt, wearing a helmet, just wearing a helmet. We're
at eight seven seven nine one O nine eight one.
I don't know, maybe somebody listening has had this experience
with a foul ball, not that it hit you, but
you you know, you were were the rockstar with the
beer caught it the beer, Yeah, and you actually caught
(20:54):
it like you should. You can let us know with
our iHeart Radio app as well that talkback mic on
our app that works great too.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And coming up later this hour eight fifty, we'd love
for you to stick around as you're kicking off your workday.
We're going to help you out. Yes, ninety eight minutes
of NonStop, commercial free, relaxing favorites. That's an eight fifty
here in the morning breeze
The Morning Breeze, The Morning Breeze on Demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning at six oh eight, it is The Morning
Breeze with Carolyn and Court. August twenty first, twenty twenty four.
Good morning, Court, Happy Wednesday, Happy Wednesday to you. Guess
what I did last night?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I saw some pictures. So that was actually going to
be my first question for you this morning, is how
you feeling? Feeling good?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Dramatic experience yesterday. I wouldn't say traumatic, but I would
say I will never forget it. Last night I was
working at the Giants game and a ball of foul
ball off the first batter, flew off, the bat came
back toward my window, and I thought, there's no way.
The opening into the booth where I work.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Is well like two by two maybe if that I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Not really good with those numbers, Okay, okay, anyhow, I
think it's about two by two, Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I flew into the window, and you know, as it's coming,
I'm like, there's no way it's going to come into
this window, right, it can't. And then before you knew, boom,
So it came into the window. It hit the microphone.
I use, yeah, bounce down off the mic onto my finger,
which didn't feel great. Just what are your your beasting
fingers the other hands? Okay, got no more hands. I'm
(01:14):
out of hand. Wow, I know it's been a week.
And then bounced up, hit the ceiling, bounce back, hit
the DJ board, off the wall to the right, landed
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I'm already always amazed when I see people catch fly balls.
That's what I was gonna say. Stand because I when
I'm in a in a in like Oracle Park or
any ballpark, I get a little especially because you're you know,
in a tiered seating. Sure, I get worried about balance.
I get worried about people falling out of their seats. Yep,
and allow those factors. Here's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
When you watch it on TV, or even if you're
at a game and the ball isn't near you, when
somebody hits a foul ball, you think that's catchable. I
could catch that with my bare hands. But after last night,
they were hitting foul balls, you know, later on in
the game and sections two sections over for me and
I'm still ducking. Yeah, I mean it, that happens so cloqy.
But like, obviously, fine.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
You need to get yourself a mint.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Can you imagine in the in the PA boothverment, you
should do it. I told the guys that I work with,
I want to wear like a batter's helmet, like baseball helmet,
and then I don't have to do my hair anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I just come in and there you go. Funny.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
But what was awesome is I was able to give
the ball because a lot of people, you know, look
to get it to a kid, and there was a
young girl that ran up to the window and it
made me so happy to reach over and give her
the ball.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
That's cool. Crowd cheered, never think so that was awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So anyway, if you go to a baseball game or
and you see a foul ball coming your way, you
think you can catch it tougher than any thing.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Wear that helmet and bring that mit.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yes eight seven seven, nine eight one nine eight one.

Gail and San Jose. We hear, today's a big day
for you. Tell us what's going on.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
As a teacher myself, today's our first day of school,
and I'm a kindergarten teacher, so all of my kids
it could be their first experience in school. And I
am just so excited to meet my new class. I've
been prepping the class for the last two days and
I'm just excited for the first day of school.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I can only imagine what you see first day for
school for you, for them. So everybody's excited. But then
of course you always have the kids that are less excited,
that are scared because it's kindergarten, it's their first time
in school.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, there's you're sometimes you have your criers the kids,
but don't that it's their first time, so they don't
want to leave. You know, I'm excited, but my room
isn't exactly perfect. But as my husband said, because I
worked really late, he says, your kids are never going
to know they haven't been in your classroom. So if
it's not perfect, don't fret.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I've got family members that are that are teachers. And
the amount of effort the teachers put into making their
rooms feel like a like a fun place to be, yeah,
it is pretty great. And most of that money, the
effort and money that goes into that, that's coming out
of your own pocket. Right.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Oh yeah, absolutely. I've already spent hundreds of dollars wow
this year, so you know, and it'll be thousands by
the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So the reason why we love our teachers and makes
them so special.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
So yeah, I love it, and I'm excited and a
little scared because you know, teachers are scared too when
they're when they start out their first year.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Well, I think that's totally understandable.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Though this is year twenty one for me, year eleven
in kindergarten, but it's still it's still a little nerve
wracking in the first day of school.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Wow, that's that's interesting to think about after all these years.
The teachers come in a little bit nervous as well.
But yeah, absolutely, well, Jail, thank.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You for calling, and have a great first day at
school today.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Jeans Michael Jackson at seven twenty four, It's the Morning
Breeze with Carolyn and in courts.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's an interesting statistic yesterday court fifty four percent of
dog owners say they would consider ending a relationship if
their dog didn't take a liking to their partner. What
over half of everybody says, if my dog doesn't like this.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
New person I'm dating, Yep, they're out of here. They're out. Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So let's how do I make this not weird. Let's
pretend you're not married. It's sorry, weird.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Forget it. Wait a bite? Did you know something I
don't know? You've been married for like a million years.
This is weird to say those words. Here's how you
do it. Okay, I don't have to be I don't
have to be dating somebody. Let's just say, okay, I
have a new best friend. Okay, Let's say this Carl
down the street. Carl, Yep, it decides to we decide, Hey,
we're gonna be buddies. So I invite Carl over to
(11:52):
the house. Yep. And Leo and Charlie don't like Carl. Nope.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Does Carl get to come back to the house? Never forget,
not at all? Really, Oh, I would trust Charlie. I
would trust Leo. Charlie suspect of everybody. He's still suspect
of me. Oh he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
He looks at Randy weird sometimes. I mean, we know
he loves us, but he's he's kind of a special dog. Yeah,
he's not sure. But Leo. If Leo showed any signs
of of oh there's something something.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Off here, yeah, that might interesting. That's a friendship, and
you might not. Well, I just met Carl, so it's fine. Yeah,
why do I feel like Carl is actually real? Now?
I think I would trust my dog too. Honestly, if
I think I'm in this fifty four percent, if I
brought a guy over and Perk did not take a liking,
(12:41):
which she likes everybody, so that even that would be
the sign.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It would be a sign you kind of have to
need to know your dog. We had a dog years ago, Roscoe,
best dog ever. Oh yeah, and we you know, we
got him part partially because the kids want a dog,
and also it would be nice to have a you know,
a dog in the house for protection. Sure Roscoe was
friends with there was no protecting that was gonna go.
A burglar comes in and yeah, there might have been
like an initial bark that would scare somebody, but after that,
(13:08):
like that, that burglar is getting lots and lots of
licks tail wagon.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I wonder if anybody listening has ever had this happen
where you bring somebody new into your house or your
relationship and your pet doesn't like them, and you say, no,
I got I have to make that decision.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They're out of here. I got your thinking, maybe there's
something off about this person.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I wonder call us if this has happened to you
eight seven seven nine nine eight one. Also in this study,
it says ninety four percent of dog owners view their
dogs as family. No surprise, of course, no surprise at all.
You can also send us a message with our iHeartRadio app.
That talk back mic works great, and the nice thing
about that is you can do it when it's convenient
for you. You could be home later today and you're like.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know what, Carolyn and Court, we're talking about this
this morning. Just send a message. You could be out

said than you're riding the bike. You gotta be a
little more careful. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Are iHeart Radio app free you and your app store
or ninety eight one The Breeze dot com Tracy Chapman,
Fast car. It is the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court.
It's seven forty three.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Carolyn. You've ever those moments where the simplest task to
do just escape your brain on how to pull it off. Yes,
I bring this up because the other day. So, if
you haven't heard, Carolyn and I have become roommates. Sort
of okay, wow, sort of.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
So when I'm working at the Giants on weeknights, Yeah,
I'm renting a room, a separate room, yes, separate floor
from Court. Sure, because he has a big, huge apartment
exactly right, no. Yeah, So I'm renting a room a
couple of nights a week when I do the Giants,
And so when I go to the game.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I'm hanging out with Per. Perchose hanging out here, You're
the best. And so I was taking Per out to
use the potty, and you use the I don't even
know what you call the collar type of color loops
on itself. Yeah, and because typically she doesn't even have
a collar on. Right, she's wondering about free Spirit, so
you had taken it off. I'm I grabbed that. I
(15:16):
grab it, take her outside, and I can't figure out
how to loop this thing? Make this thing work?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, So it's like a singular chain with rings on
either ends. You have to kind of put the chain
one of the rings and then you pull through itself out.
I literally for a half hour sat and looked.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
At this thing, tried it and like, what how do
I make these two loops go through?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
It?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Just so bad? I can't figure out And I was
about to google it or text you God, both of
which was very embarrassing for me. Oh that's so funny.
So then I finally just I put it down for
a minute, gave myself a pause, and then I was like, oh,
wait a minute, this is how it works. Sure enough,
I figured it out.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's one of those things you have to walk away
from and then it pops into your mind like, wait
a minute.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
This is how you do it. It's the simplest of tasks.
That's how it goes. You know what.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I did that with a luggage tag the other day.
So I have this luggage tag. Yeah, and it's I
don't even know how to describe this. It's a singular
piece of plastic plastic that loops through the hole in
the luggage shag.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
You loop it on itself. Court I had to stop.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I was sweating in my garage trying to loop this
tag around my luggage. It was hurting my hands, and
I'm like, if my hand's hurt, I'm doing something wrong.
This shouldn't be painful to put a luggage tag on.
And then literally four days later I went back out
to try it and I did it.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Boo boo boop done. It's almost like it's so simple.
Your brain thinks, yeah, it just stops working because it
thinks it's harder than it actually is.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Oh No, I had diagnosed myself with dementia. When I
was doing this, I'm like.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
That's it, it's happening. See, and I can take it
a step further. I've had those moments where I'm literally
at a grocery store and I have to type in
my phone number to get it like a discount, and
I can't remember my phone number. Oh really, you just
made me feel just so much better. I completely go
blank on what my phone number is. See, this is
it's slippery slope I've had. I've had the same phone
number for over twenty years.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
No, this is how it happens. This all, this is
how aging happens. Okay, I'm your elder, trust me, trust me.
But if this has happened for you, like the simple
tasks that sometimes can be a little more too simple
times eight seven seven one nine eight one. Basically, we
just want you to make us feel better and less stupid.

You've got the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Quird and Carolyn,
I think we need to talk about this photo that
(17:53):
you posted on Was it on Instagram last night?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
My goodness? And my stories on Instagram? Yeah, yeah, you had.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Let's call it an incident. It was at the ballpark
last night. Man, I've had a week. First, I got
the wasp attack.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We should no longer call it a beasting.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
We think it was a wasp, a wasp attack where
I got stung several times on my right hand.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It swoll swoll up to like five times inside. It
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So last night I was working at the Giants game.
If you haven't heard, I'm their public address announcer. Yep,
And I was in the booth and it was the
first batter who hit a foul ball and it happened
so quickly. I saw it flying toward me. And I
have a window that I look out that's open. It's
(18:38):
not a very big space, right, and I'm thinking, there's
no way this is coming in this window. And right
when I thought that, okay, yeah, so the ball, the
foul ball flew into the window, hit my microphone, went
down onto my finger, which hurt that stuff of your
fingers badly, but not but not your B hand, not
my b hands.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
And now I've two.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Now I'm out of hands. I got two injured hands.
And it bounce from my fingertip up off the ceiling
down and hit our DJ Jeremy behind me his board,
and then bounced off the side wall and hit the deck.
And I was like, what are the odds that this
has happened. So I bring this up to say, if
you ever go to a baseball game or you're watching
(19:22):
on TV and you see a foul ball and you're thinking,
you know what, I cant catch that, man, when you
see it happen like that and how quickly it comes.
So now I'm marveling at all these people that I
am able to do games that are catching foul ball.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You always see people catch it that bring their mits,
but sometimes you see people who catch it with it
either their hat or their bare hand.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yes, there's always the guy that wants to catch it
in his beer, his cup of beer. He's holding his baby,
and those videos go viral. Now I'm really impressed by those.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I will never ever be the person at the ballpark
trying to catch a flyball. I had a bad experience
playing softball as a kid. Oh or the ball bounced
out of my mit hit me in the face. Oh yeah,
And so I've I've always been a little afraid now
of baseballs.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Well for the rest of the night last night, when
foul balls would even come even two sections over from
where I was sitting, I'm ducking because you're And it's
