No, no, no, the San Bruno swim team. I'm telling
you right now, the Panole Seals were always number one

team to be all right there? So I hold your
head high today, Lisa, what's your head high?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Was Lisa right? Lisa was not correct with the shower cap? Okay,
thank you, Bye bye bye. MJ in San Francisco, what
do you think the answer is? Spam calls? Spam calls?
That is such an educated guess. It feels like getting
more and more of those these days. Do you mean
one of those lately where they actually say spam risk
(02:10):
on your phone. Yes, and I blocked them right away
me too.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's nice that our phone carriers are now kind of
helping you out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They're assisting. Yeah, but man, there's there. There are more
and more of those every single every day, week, month. Yeah. Year.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
That's not the correct answer, I am jay. I love
the answer, but it's not the correct one today. Uh,
the correct answer. Every week, the average person will have
twenty one snacks.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Okay, I would I'm way off speak about it now.
I'm doing the math right now. I at least eat
three snacks a day. Three snacks a day time one.
Oh my gosh, there it is. Did I just become
a professional snacker with you guys on.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
The phone and name somebody that's good at math? So
three snacks a day average is out? Twenty one snacks
a week.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
What's your go to snack? You can have any snack
in the world. What are you eating? Probably putzels or
something like that. You get the peanut butter ones and
stuff with peanut butter, peanut butter, they're covered in chocolate.
Also those Oh you're talking our language, you're speaking our language.
I'm jre. Thank you for listening. We sure appreciate it.
(03:21):
That's great. Thank you guys so much. You're welcome court.
What is your go to snack?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, as you are very well aware, you and I
have a shared snack every morning.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Oh I love ours around.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's typically between eight and nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I was gonna say eight and eight oh five, okay,
but yeah, eight and nine.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You bust out the chocolate covered cinnamon bears, so good?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Will you bring them in? I stash them, and then
every day we have one. Each have one, and then
when you leave the studio, sometimes the bag comes back
out and I have a second. What you're double dip it? Sometimes, Carolyn,
I can get it back out for you. Today.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
One's enough for me because when I go home, the
snack I have of mid morning is I have a
handful of peanuts or a handful of almonds.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh that's good. That's good for you. Sure, yeah, what
about you? Oh, thank you for asking. Yeah. My go
to snack is usually like some sort of cracker. Oh yeah,
And I've been trying to not snack on crackers because
the carbs. Do I really need this and I hungry? No?
But yesterday I was at grocery outlet and those gluten
free crackers. They were a good deal, pretty great. I
(04:26):
picked up two of them. Yeah, and then I ate
half of them.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
My wife Rys say, way, I hate it afternoon crackers.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
She just loves them. I don't know what it is.
They're so light and fluffy and it serves it was
three and a half servings in the box. And guess
what that's not correct, it's one. So all right, Morning
Breeze Brain Tease. We do it every weekday morning at
this time at six twenty here on the Breeze.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And of course you can participate in the future by

that microphone button, speak into it. That message comes to
us right away in here in the studio the Breeze.
It's Chicago and it is six forty one. Good morning.
It is the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. Feels
like a Friday. Funny, it's a Thursday. But did you
(05:21):
notice I'm wearing my tropical shirt. You know what's funny?
Court always wears Hawaiian shirts or tropical shirts on Fridays.
And I actually thought last night, because this is the
fun life I had, I was like, I wonder if
Court will wear his tropical shirt. You sit around, Row,
sit around and wonder what I'm going to be wearing
the next day, every day, every day. All right, it's
time for the more you know? Yes, all right, Court,
(05:45):
take it away. So as I teased you.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
With, if you've got it, if you had a bunk
bed in your bedroom as a kid, there's a good.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Chance, yes, it may have made you a better adult.
Why is that? Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Siblings who grew up sharing a room, oftentimes having that
bunk bed, according to scientists, are more emotionally bonded as adults.
Not only that, those shared spaces that you had as
a kid, yeah, gave you daily opportunities for conflict resolution,
(06:17):
helped you build empathy, emotional connection.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Could this also be the same for just sharing a
room with your sibling? Does it have to be a
bunk bed?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
No, No, you don't have to have the bunk bed, but
the shared room. But oftentimes, yeah, the bunk bed is
kind of a it's a correlation, not necessarily a contributing factor,
but because I grew.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Up with the bunk beds. Okay, but there there at
one point there were four of us. In a way,
you guys had so many kids, you had to have
bunk beds. We had sometimes we had two sets of
bunk beds.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Sometimes you had a bunk bed and then we had
a queen bed in there for me and my little
brother Jerry.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Four in a room. That's what can't eight kids in
my face? Yeah, I know that is so many, that's
so many beds.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Did you Did you ever have to share a bedroom?
I know you're I was the only girl. Yeah, but
I don't when you were younger.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Baby, No, I don't think my brothers shared rooms either ever. Wow,
not that I know of. No, But that's interesting. In
my house, and you got there again, because there were
eight of us, the older siblings eventually got their own room.
So I got my first own room when I was
in eighth grade. Oh, it's such a big deal. And
(07:22):
it was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, I'll bet shared bedroom up to then. Because of that,
I'm just a better adult.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And I like picture. That's good to know, thanks for
telling us. No, it's funny. I picture you like packing
up your stuff as a kid, when you finally get
your own room. It's got to be such a moment
when you're packing your things and you're moving down the
hall or up the stairs or wherever you go going.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It was just down the hall. But now, as I'm
thinking about this, because I had been sharing my bedroom
with my my younger brother Jerry. Uh, he got his
own room at the exact same time as me, which means.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
That's so unfair. Wait a minute, he got a bedroom.
He's got his own bedroom at an earlier age than
I did. Cherry Bedtham shamed you. Yeah, were there just
anty bedrooms in your house?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Like what was going on? Once one freed up, so
we were together, So one freed up, somebody moved down,
so then he got us.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
This is not this is not fair. I love that
you're just realizing this in your forties. Seven all right,
the more you know, we do it every weekday morning
here at six forty on the breeze, call us anytime
eight seven, seven nine, eight one oh nine eight one.
Speaker 2 (08:24):

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I wanted to give a shout out to Curtis nicknamed Taz,
the truck driver at the Lowdie truck stop this weekend.
I was on my way home with my other friend
from church conference and we stopped at the truck stop
were rbs to get a meal, and this truck driver
(09:55):
comes over and he says, ladies, I'm paying for your meal.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
No way.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And it was like, oh my gosh, thank you so much.
And he goes, well, God bless you. He was on
his way down the Frednoe to pick up a load
to drive across to Florida. And wow, he says, I
like to do that once in a while. And I say,
you know, that just made our day.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's great, that is so nice. I love Gail those
random acts of kindness, and I I'm kind of like
on the Curtis side, like I like to do that. Sure.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well. The funny thing is is you know how they
there's these long lines of pay it forward, Pay it forward,
you know, Yeah, someone pays for my meal, then I
pay for some many and and I was thinking, do
we need to pay for the person behind us?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And okay, so did you?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
No, we didn't, but you know, there wasn't really anybody
in line behind us. But I was thinking. But he
actually got up from his table and came over to
the counter when we showed up. Oh, I'm paying for
your meal.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
That's very kind.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Oh my gosh, that was just so wonderful. There's just
no Arvy's here in near.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Us Birth and I loaded to dip a roast beef
and that cheese.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I was just going to ask you, what what did
you end up ordering? Because I love Arby's most importantly.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I order a fighter, a roast beef Flighter. I always
have to have the curly fries and a Jamokah shake,
cause you know Arby's with the original.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Curly, the curly Arby's are on another level. Do they
still have the horsey sauce too.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I'm going to Texas to a conference at the end
of the week, at teaching conference, and the last time
I was in Texas, there's an Arby's on every corner.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Not a lot of Arby's here in northern California, No,
but you go get that army of Texas Gale. I'll
bet the Texas Arby's is kicked up, Gail. Have a
good day. Thank you for calling in happy fourth of
July weekend to ya.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
All right, Well, does make you think about when you
encounter those pay it forward moments, which often happened in
like starbuck lines or shop alone. For sure, I'll pay
for the person behind me, and then it just keeps.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Going and going.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, when you when you show up there and find
out your order has already been paid for and they're like, okay,
I'll get the guy behind me, and it's like four
times which you were going to spend you kind of.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I had that happen at Starbucks once and they're like,
just so you know the order behind these twenty eight dollars.
I was like, you know, actually I think this swear
it ends. Yep, ma'am gonna hit the old pause box
on the sun Run. It's the brighter side. We do
it every weekday morning here at seven ten on the
Morning Breeze and.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Coming up in just a few short minutes seven twenty
five once again, ask us anything and we're really loving
today's question.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Oh, today's going to be so much fun. But certainly
not too late for you to get a question to us.
If there is something that you've wanted to ask us.
Could be about the show, it could be like we've
had a lot of people just do icebreaker questions. Yesterday
was Michael I believe in San Francisco who asked, like,
have you ever snapped it a waiter? Is it appropriate
to yeah, to snap it a waiter? Get their attention
(12:58):
and the answer, by the way, No. But whatever the
questions may be, ask us anything coming up seven to
twenty five here on the bree seven twenty six with
Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Here on ninety eight point one the Breeze. You've got
the morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and it is
time for you to ask us anything. This is where
curiosity rules, and no question is too weird.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's true. Well, we at least we haven't received a
question that is overly weird.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, so we had a close call. No, we had
a close call. I love how you took a quick
moment to think about it. You can send us your
questions different ways. You can call us eight seven seven
nine eight one nine eight one. You can use the
talkback feature on our free iHeartRadio app. Or you can
just you know, DM it to us through social media.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's what Ray did. Ray listens to us in San Mateo.
He slid into our DMS today, Court and I love
this question. It's perfect for you know, as we come
up on the weekend, and certainly a holiday weekend. Yeah,
he said, should adults do you guys think adults should
be should they be allowed to order off the kids menu?
Adults ordering off the kids menu? I no, I I
(14:08):
my gut says no. My instant response is no. But
then I think about there are always special circumstances. If
I go out to eat with my mom, who eats
like a bird now right, she doesn't eat much? Yeah,
am I do we feel like she needs to order
off the main menu? Can she just have a grilled
cheese and fries?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It's tough because I think a lot of restaurants use
their kids' menus kind of as a lost leader. They
don't they don't charge too much for that, knowing that
adults are coming in buying the full entrees. Yeah, and
so they can lose a little money here because they're
making it up over there. Because the margins at restaurants
are not very big.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But also, what is the because you have kids, I
don't know the answer to this. At what age can
you no longer order off a kid's menu as an age?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Some sometimes they'll say like kids men used They'll say like,
you know, zero to twelve, oh, and they'll be very specific.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And then after that.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I got to tell you though, when, because I've been
going through this a lot lately. When the four of
us go out to dinner and there's now you know,
I've got a seventeen year old and a twenty year old. Yeah,
we're all ordering regular entrees. That bill is double what
it used to be.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You wish they were ordering off the kids menu. Yeah,
My question would be this. So let's say, for example,
you go to your favorite place and you got a
nice salad. You get a big ol' salad, but then
you want just a little teeny that's the teeny pizza,
and you know that the kid's menu has a teeny
pizza on it, yep, for only like seven dollars. Sometimes
you go out to eat and the adult menu frankly
(15:32):
is not appealing, and you're like, I want that Casadia
or I want those chicken tendies. You go to the
Kid's Menu, like, I don't know. Sometimes you can take
it to go.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Sometimes yeah, sometimes you can find like the adult version
of the kid's menus. But my daughter is every now
and then, especially my seventeen year old will order off
the kids menu just because she likes the offerings there better,
and they just let her do it.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I was gonna say, I feel like she could still
get away with it because she's young, but you and
I couldn't roll in and have two lunches off kids menu.
So Ray, the answer to your question is we don't know, right, Well, then,
I honestly don't know. There is no right or wrong.
We may or may not have the answer to your
questions when you ask us anything, And this is exactly
how it works everybody every weekday morning seven twenty five.
Ask us anything eight seven seven nine eight one nine
(16:17):
eight one, or reach out on our iHeartRadio app free
in your app store ninety eight one, the Breeze dot com.
Just use the talkback mic.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and Blondie
at eight oh eight.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Welcome to your Thursday. Thank you, Court. That was that
was a great welcome. Appreciate it very Heartfeld. By the way,
as I as I mentioned a minute ago, I realized
something about myself yesterday. If you told me when I
was a kid that one day I would feel this
way about this one particular thing, I would have said,
(16:51):
no way, it's not possible. It's never gonna happen. And
here we are in this one thing. I was like
the other day, I'm like, this is great, and that
is I was getting ready the other day I had
the TV on. I was like in my bathroom so
I could hear the TV. Sure, and I'm listening and
I heard an infomercial about an anti aging supplement. Now,
(17:13):
when I was a kid, any infomercial immediately dismissed in
my mind. They're all bad, Like no, they're over the
top for old people, horrible when they're never Yeah, but
this one, I was like, will the Omega x L
really work for me? Will it take away my aches
(17:36):
and pains? Like it says, will it make me feel better?
Only one pill a week? And it's only twenty nine
ninety five? Like when did that happen? That infomercials? Fast
forward to a couple days later, same thing happens, and
it was al from home improvement. Whatever his name is,
Richard carn I think, yeah, yeah, he's got some sort
(17:59):
of guard you know what I'm talking about. And I'm like,
do I need that in my backyard? It folds up,
and then I thought, oh my gosh, I'm an infomercial
audience now, like I'm the demo. So when do the
Omega pills show up to here? Probably a week? Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now it's interesting that conversion that happens because I used
to just laugh because those, to your point, the way
infomercials are done. They they show the problem but to
an extreme, and you're just like, it's not like your
vision isn't that bad or your your skin isn't that wrinkly.
So they always just like magnify an issue and at
a certain point though, us as the consumers are like
(18:42):
I really need this, Like do you remember the one
where it was it was like this. It was like
a pair of scissors are a way to cut pictures
and it used the light because they basically say, oh,
you're getting old, you can't see look how hard it
is to cut a straight line with a set of scissors.
They're not wrong, and it's the most extreme thing and
you're like those people are crazy, what is going on here? Yeah,
I'm at that age now when I have to cut
(19:03):
a photo, like you know, when my daughters get their
photo pictures from their class of pictures and I'm trying
to cut those out for all the parents.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Wait, so it's a scissor with a light. It's like
a that's brilliant. I know that's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
It's like magnified so you can see it, because that's
just it is, like I got to cut this out.
I got to go find the brightest light in the house.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
You get one chance with a picture when you're cutting
a photo, right if you go if you accidentally go
outside of whatever imaginary line, you've got.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
People know what infomercial I'm talking about because it was
so extreme.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It was this.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It was this elderly person cutting a photo and like
they couldn't have been more off. Oh that's so funny,
huge zigzag.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
When does this happen? It just all of a sudden happened.
And if it was one infomercial, I would say, fine,
they got me on that one. But it's to do
and probably more honestly, I'm contemplating buying some silver coins now.
I've seen those on Saturday mornings. How often is the
is a QBC on in your house?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
That is another one. Do you know my Christmas tree
is from QVC. We see my mom's purse is from QVC.
QVC is great, Sure, it's great.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It's just a bit the same thing. It's an infomercial
twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (20:11):

are you listening to us?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I'm listening to Oh Panol.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Home of the Panole Seals swim team. Oh yeah, and
the Panol Seals they were a good team.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I think could probably say that statement, like anybody calls
in from like Freemont, Ah, Fremont home of the Fremont
swim team.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
No, no, no, the San Bruno swim team. I'm telling
you right now, the Panole Seals were always number one
in the in the recreational st Lisa, are the Panol
Seals not a good team? White kids did not, They
were not on that, but they were always had a
good reputation from what I remember. Yeah, I'll tell you
right now, Lisa. Back in the eighties, that was the
(01:45):
team to be all right there? So I hold your
head high today, Lisa, what's your head high?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Was Lisa right? Lisa was not correct with the shower cap? Okay,
thank you, Bye bye bye. MJ in San Francisco, what
do you think the answer is? Spam calls? Spam calls?
That is such an educated guess. It feels like getting
more and more of those these days. Do you mean
one of those lately where they actually say spam risk
(02:10):
on your phone. Yes, and I blocked them right away
me too.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's nice that our phone carriers are now kind of
helping you out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They're assisting. Yeah, but man, there's there. There are more
and more of those every single every day, week, month. Yeah. Year.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
That's not the correct answer, I am jay. I love
the answer, but it's not the correct one today. Uh,
the correct answer. Every week, the average person will have
twenty one snacks.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Okay, I would I'm way off speak about it now.
I'm doing the math right now. I at least eat
three snacks a day. Three snacks a day time one.
Oh my gosh, there it is. Did I just become
a professional snacker with you guys on.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
The phone and name somebody that's good at math? So
three snacks a day average is out? Twenty one snacks
a week.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
What's your go to snack? You can have any snack
in the world. What are you eating? Probably putzels or
something like that. You get the peanut butter ones and
stuff with peanut butter, peanut butter, they're covered in chocolate.
Also those Oh you're talking our language, you're speaking our language.
I'm jre. Thank you for listening. We sure appreciate it.
(03:21):
That's great. Thank you guys so much. You're welcome court.
What is your go to snack?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, as you are very well aware, you and I
have a shared snack every morning.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Oh I love ours around.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's typically between eight and nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I was gonna say eight and eight oh five, okay,
but yeah, eight and nine.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You bust out the chocolate covered cinnamon bears, so good?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Will you bring them in? I stash them, and then
every day we have one. Each have one, and then
when you leave the studio, sometimes the bag comes back
out and I have a second. What you're double dip it? Sometimes, Carolyn,
I can get it back out for you. Today.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
One's enough for me because when I go home, the
snack I have of mid morning is I have a
handful of peanuts or a handful of almonds.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh that's good. That's good for you. Sure, yeah, what
about you? Oh, thank you for asking. Yeah. My go
to snack is usually like some sort of cracker. Oh yeah,
And I've been trying to not snack on crackers because
the carbs. Do I really need this and I hungry? No?
But yesterday I was at grocery outlet and those gluten
free crackers. They were a good deal, pretty great. I
(04:26):
picked up two of them. Yeah, and then I ate
half of them.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
My wife Rys say, way, I hate it afternoon crackers.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
She just loves them. I don't know what it is.
They're so light and fluffy and it serves it was
three and a half servings in the box. And guess
what that's not correct, it's one. So all right, Morning
Breeze Brain Tease. We do it every weekday morning at
this time at six twenty here on the Breeze.
Speaker 2 (04:47):

us right away in here in the studio the Breeze.
It's Chicago and it is six forty one. Good morning.
It is the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. Feels
like a Friday. Funny, it's a Thursday. But did you
(05:21):
notice I'm wearing my tropical shirt. You know what's funny?
Court always wears Hawaiian shirts or tropical shirts on Fridays.
And I actually thought last night, because this is the
fun life I had, I was like, I wonder if
Court will wear his tropical shirt. You sit around, Row,
sit around and wonder what I'm going to be wearing
the next day, every day, every day. All right, it's
time for the more you know? Yes, all right, Court,
(05:45):
take it away. So as I teased you.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
With, if you've got it, if you had a bunk
bed in your bedroom as a kid, there's a good.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Chance, yes, it may have made you a better adult.
Why is that? Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Siblings who grew up sharing a room, oftentimes having that
bunk bed, according to scientists, are more emotionally bonded as adults.
Not only that, those shared spaces that you had as
a kid, yeah, gave you daily opportunities for conflict resolution,
(06:17):
helped you build empathy, emotional connection.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Could this also be the same for just sharing a
room with your sibling? Does it have to be a
bunk bed?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
No, No, you don't have to have the bunk bed, but
the shared room. But oftentimes, yeah, the bunk bed is
kind of a it's a correlation, not necessarily a contributing factor,
but because I grew.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Up with the bunk beds. Okay, but there there at
one point there were four of us. In a way,
you guys had so many kids, you had to have
bunk beds. We had sometimes we had two sets of
bunk beds.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Sometimes you had a bunk bed and then we had
a queen bed in there for me and my little
brother Jerry.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Four in a room. That's what can't eight kids in
my face? Yeah, I know that is so many, that's
so many beds.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Did you Did you ever have to share a bedroom?
I know you're I was the only girl. Yeah, but
I don't when you were younger.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Baby, No, I don't think my brothers shared rooms either ever. Wow,
not that I know of. No, But that's interesting. In
my house, and you got there again, because there were
eight of us, the older siblings eventually got their own room.
So I got my first own room when I was
in eighth grade. Oh, it's such a big deal. And
(07:22):
it was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, I'll bet shared bedroom up to then. Because of that,
I'm just a better adult.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And I like picture. That's good to know, thanks for
telling us. No, it's funny. I picture you like packing
up your stuff as a kid, when you finally get
your own room. It's got to be such a moment
when you're packing your things and you're moving down the
hall or up the stairs or wherever you go going.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It was just down the hall. But now, as I'm
thinking about this, because I had been sharing my bedroom
with my my younger brother Jerry. Uh, he got his
own room at the exact same time as me, which means.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
That's so unfair. Wait a minute, he got a bedroom.
He's got his own bedroom at an earlier age than
I did. Cherry Bedtham shamed you. Yeah, were there just
anty bedrooms in your house?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Like what was going on? Once one freed up, so
we were together, So one freed up, somebody moved down,
so then he got us.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
This is not this is not fair. I love that
you're just realizing this in your forties. Seven all right,
the more you know, we do it every weekday morning
here at six forty on the breeze, call us anytime
eight seven, seven nine, eight one oh nine eight one.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Coming up later in the show seven twenty five, it's

subject you want to talk about.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I wanted to give a shout out to Curtis nicknamed Taz,
the truck driver at the Lowdie truck stop this weekend.
I was on my way home with my other friend
from church conference and we stopped at the truck stop
were rbs to get a meal, and this truck driver
(09:55):
comes over and he says, ladies, I'm paying for your meal.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
No way.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And it was like, oh my gosh, thank you so much.
And he goes, well, God bless you. He was on
his way down the Frednoe to pick up a load
to drive across to Florida. And wow, he says, I
like to do that once in a while. And I say,
you know, that just made our day.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's great, that is so nice. I love Gail those
random acts of kindness, and I I'm kind of like
on the Curtis side, like I like to do that. Sure.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well. The funny thing is is you know how they
there's these long lines of pay it forward, Pay it forward,
you know, Yeah, someone pays for my meal, then I
pay for some many and and I was thinking, do
we need to pay for the person behind us?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And okay, so did you?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
No, we didn't, but you know, there wasn't really anybody
in line behind us. But I was thinking. But he
actually got up from his table and came over to
the counter when we showed up. Oh, I'm paying for
your meal.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
That's very kind.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Oh my gosh, that was just so wonderful. There's just
no Arvy's here in near.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Us Birth and I loaded to dip a roast beef
and that cheese.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I was just going to ask you, what what did
you end up ordering? Because I love Arby's most importantly.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I order a fighter, a roast beef Flighter. I always
have to have the curly fries and a Jamokah shake,
cause you know Arby's with the original.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Curly, the curly Arby's are on another level. Do they
still have the horsey sauce too.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I'm going to Texas to a conference at the end
of the week, at teaching conference, and the last time
I was in Texas, there's an Arby's on every corner.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Not a lot of Arby's here in northern California, No,
but you go get that army of Texas Gale. I'll
bet the Texas Arby's is kicked up, Gail. Have a
good day. Thank you for calling in happy fourth of
July weekend to ya.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
All right, Well, does make you think about when you
encounter those pay it forward moments, which often happened in
like starbuck lines or shop alone. For sure, I'll pay
for the person behind me, and then it just keeps.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Going and going.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, when you when you show up there and find
out your order has already been paid for and they're like, okay,
I'll get the guy behind me, and it's like four
times which you were going to spend you kind of.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I had that happen at Starbucks once and they're like,
just so you know the order behind these twenty eight dollars.
I was like, you know, actually I think this swear
it ends. Yep, ma'am gonna hit the old pause box
on the sun Run. It's the brighter side. We do
it every weekday morning here at seven ten on the
Morning Breeze and.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Coming up in just a few short minutes seven twenty
five once again, ask us anything and we're really loving
today's question.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Oh, today's going to be so much fun. But certainly
not too late for you to get a question to us.
If there is something that you've wanted to ask us.
Could be about the show, it could be like we've
had a lot of people just do icebreaker questions. Yesterday
was Michael I believe in San Francisco who asked, like,
have you ever snapped it a waiter? Is it appropriate
to yeah, to snap it a waiter? Get their attention
(12:58):
and the answer, by the way, No. But whatever the
questions may be, ask us anything coming up seven to
twenty five here on the bree seven twenty six with
Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Here on ninety eight point one the Breeze. You've got
the morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and it is
time for you to ask us anything. This is where
curiosity rules, and no question is too weird.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's true. Well, we at least we haven't received a
question that is overly weird.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, so we had a close call. No, we had
a close call. I love how you took a quick
moment to think about it. You can send us your
questions different ways. You can call us eight seven seven
nine eight one nine eight one. You can use the
talkback feature on our free iHeartRadio app. Or you can
just you know, DM it to us through social media.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's what Ray did. Ray listens to us in San Mateo.
He slid into our DMS today, Court and I love
this question. It's perfect for you know, as we come
up on the weekend, and certainly a holiday weekend. Yeah,
he said, should adults do you guys think adults should
be should they be allowed to order off the kids menu?
Adults ordering off the kids menu? I no, I I
(14:08):
my gut says no. My instant response is no. But
then I think about there are always special circumstances. If
I go out to eat with my mom, who eats
like a bird now right, she doesn't eat much? Yeah,
am I do we feel like she needs to order
off the main menu? Can she just have a grilled
cheese and fries?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It's tough because I think a lot of restaurants use
their kids' menus kind of as a lost leader. They
don't they don't charge too much for that, knowing that
adults are coming in buying the full entrees. Yeah, and
so they can lose a little money here because they're
making it up over there. Because the margins at restaurants
are not very big.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But also, what is the because you have kids, I
don't know the answer to this. At what age can
you no longer order off a kid's menu as an age?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Some sometimes they'll say like kids men used They'll say like,
you know, zero to twelve, oh, and they'll be very specific.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And then after that.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I got to tell you though, when, because I've been
going through this a lot lately. When the four of
us go out to dinner and there's now you know,
I've got a seventeen year old and a twenty year old. Yeah,
we're all ordering regular entrees. That bill is double what
it used to be.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You wish they were ordering off the kids menu. Yeah,
My question would be this. So let's say, for example,
you go to your favorite place and you got a
nice salad. You get a big ol' salad, but then
you want just a little teeny that's the teeny pizza,
and you know that the kid's menu has a teeny
pizza on it, yep, for only like seven dollars. Sometimes
you go out to eat and the adult menu frankly
(15:32):
is not appealing, and you're like, I want that Casadia
or I want those chicken tendies. You go to the
Kid's Menu, like, I don't know. Sometimes you can take
it to go.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Sometimes yeah, sometimes you can find like the adult version
of the kid's menus. But my daughter is every now
and then, especially my seventeen year old will order off
the kids menu just because she likes the offerings there better,
and they just let her do it.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I was gonna say, I feel like she could still
get away with it because she's young, but you and
I couldn't roll in and have two lunches off kids menu.
So Ray, the answer to your question is we don't know, right, Well, then,
I honestly don't know. There is no right or wrong.
We may or may not have the answer to your
questions when you ask us anything, And this is exactly
how it works everybody every weekday morning seven twenty five.
Ask us anything eight seven seven nine eight one nine
(16:17):
eight one, or reach out on our iHeartRadio app free
in your app store ninety eight one, the Breeze dot com.
Just use the talkback mic.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and Blondie
at eight oh eight.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Welcome to your Thursday. Thank you, Court. That was that
was a great welcome. Appreciate it very Heartfeld. By the way,
as I as I mentioned a minute ago, I realized
something about myself yesterday. If you told me when I
was a kid that one day I would feel this
way about this one particular thing, I would have said,
(16:51):
no way, it's not possible. It's never gonna happen. And
here we are in this one thing. I was like
the other day, I'm like, this is great, and that
is I was getting ready the other day I had
the TV on. I was like in my bathroom so
I could hear the TV. Sure, and I'm listening and
I heard an infomercial about an anti aging supplement. Now,
(17:13):
when I was a kid, any infomercial immediately dismissed in
my mind. They're all bad, Like no, they're over the
top for old people, horrible when they're never Yeah, but
this one, I was like, will the Omega x L
really work for me? Will it take away my aches
(17:36):
and pains? Like it says, will it make me feel better?
Only one pill a week? And it's only twenty nine
ninety five? Like when did that happen? That infomercials? Fast
forward to a couple days later, same thing happens, and
it was al from home improvement. Whatever his name is,
Richard carn I think, yeah, yeah, he's got some sort
(17:59):
of guard you know what I'm talking about. And I'm like,
do I need that in my backyard? It folds up,
and then I thought, oh my gosh, I'm an infomercial
audience now, like I'm the demo. So when do the
Omega pills show up to here? Probably a week? Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now it's interesting that conversion that happens because I used
to just laugh because those, to your point, the way
infomercials are done. They they show the problem but to
an extreme, and you're just like, it's not like your
vision isn't that bad or your your skin isn't that wrinkly.
So they always just like magnify an issue and at
a certain point though, us as the consumers are like
(18:42):
I really need this, Like do you remember the one
where it was it was like this. It was like
a pair of scissors are a way to cut pictures
and it used the light because they basically say, oh,
you're getting old, you can't see look how hard it
is to cut a straight line with a set of scissors.
They're not wrong, and it's the most extreme thing and
you're like those people are crazy, what is going on here? Yeah,
I'm at that age now when I have to cut
(19:03):
a photo, like you know, when my daughters get their
photo pictures from their class of pictures and I'm trying
to cut those out for all the parents.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Wait, so it's a scissor with a light. It's like
a that's brilliant. I know that's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
It's like magnified so you can see it, because that's
just it is, like I got to cut this out.
I got to go find the brightest light in the house.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
You get one chance with a picture when you're cutting
a photo, right if you go if you accidentally go
outside of whatever imaginary line, you've got.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
People know what infomercial I'm talking about because it was
so extreme.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It was this.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It was this elderly person cutting a photo and like
they couldn't have been more off. Oh that's so funny,
huge zigzag.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
When does this happen? It just all of a sudden happened.
And if it was one infomercial, I would say, fine,
they got me on that one. But it's to do
and probably more honestly, I'm contemplating buying some silver coins now.
I've seen those on Saturday mornings. How often is the
is a QBC on in your house?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
That is another one. Do you know my Christmas tree
is from QVC. We see my mom's purse is from QVC.
QVC is great, Sure, it's great.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It's just a bit the same thing. It's an infomercial
twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
A day, and I love it. I love it. So
here we are. We're at eight seven seven nine eight one,
nine eight one. Send us a talk back with our
iHeartRadio app. That talkback mic right next to the play
button on our app, and.
