The Morning Breeze, The Morning Breeze on Demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
And it is time for the Morning Breeze Brain Teas.

for the guesses we're going to get for this one
Morning Breeze Brain Teas sponsored by Mike Council Plumbing. You

us say we will never do this in public, okay
(00:27):
eight seven seven nine eight one nine eight one adele
in Millbray, Good morning Europe.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
First, what do you think the answer is? Cardinals, cardnows.
If it's only twenty one percent, we've got problems here. Yeah. No,
I think one hundred percent of us should be saying,
alill never do this in public. But let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I saw it on the way to work this morning,
the person next to me and they did not know
I was watching, And then I couldn't look away. You
know when you want to look away and you're like
stop looking and you can't. That was me today.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
People in their cars and they think they're alone in there.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Guys, it is crazy. Glass of sea through that window
is not tinted at all. I saw it all.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh, just think about this way.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
They're all watching.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
You just know they're always watching.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Picking your nose is not the answer we're looking for today, Adell.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I mean my one year old, he does that all
the time. I'm like, wow, you create him again. He's
just learning.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
He gets passed. One year old gets passed. He gets Yeah, No,
all right, we'll have a good day. Thanks for calling.
He too, All right, Bye bye, Donna and Martinez A right.
Twenty one percent of us will never do this in public,
walk on their phone.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
And I think there's very few people that would do that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Most people are just oblivious to their surroundings.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So true. I'm in the line of the bank. I'll
answer that phone. Isn't not obnoxious? Hey, Bob, Yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I'm not even talking speaker phone.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, at the Iron number right right right, you'd hear them,
and you can hear the person not through the speaker phone.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I can hear your conversation, same man. They're usually using
bad language.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I know, Donna. Which is the worst is always when
I'm with my mom. I'm so embarrassed.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
And they have kids with them.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I love that Donna keeps smiling on. Well, there's a
lot of scenarios make that make talking publicly on a
cell phone. You have really great painted a pictures fact.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
You know your kids are that You're right?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What are you watch? You really really great answer, But
it's not the answer we're looking for today.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
What's the answer?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:33):
What?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Twenty one percent of us say we will never sing
in public? Would you sing in public?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Not karaoke?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And I can sing.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I sang in high junior high, in high school, six years.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
But you won't do it in public now? No, you
know your limits, Donna. I appreciate that about you, but
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I'm not a bad singer.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I don't know. I'm just self conscious.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Us saying like crazy in my car, Well, that's when
we're all at our best.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Tell me a few things. I guess.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It's all about everybody learns on the brain. Teas. All right,
you guys should have a great day. You too, Happy Friday,
enjoy your day. You know, I'm thinking about this. I
would probably count myself among the people that would say
I would never do this in public. I would never
sing in public, But then push comes to shove, I would.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, I could see you getting up there and doing
some kadaoki.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, I could do some. I'm not big into karaoke,
but push comes to shove, I would probably do it.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Okay, I could see that, and I'd like to be
there for that when that happens. Please, it's like an invite.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Don't hold your breath.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Okay, Morning Breeze brain Teas. You know we play every
weekday morning at this time at six twenty.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Something else we do on the regular. In fact, we're
going to be doing it today just after seven o'clock
we will be naming a new Morning Breeze Person of
the Week.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You know, there is still time, even though it's six
twenty three in the morning, still plenty of time for
you to get those nominations in. If there is somebody
who are like I want to get them in for
today's person of the week, you have time to submit
your nomination and tell us about this person, why they're
so good, why they deserve to be our Morning Breeze
Person of the week.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And of course we should point out if they are
not selected for today's Morning Breeze Person of the Week.
There's plenty of when once you get that entry in
the are in for multiple weeks. We hang on to it.
So we just hang onto it and we circle back
to it, and yeah, we just love to celebrate all
these great people in the Bay area. So again, if
you know somebody doing good things, make that nomination on
our website ninety eight one The Breeze dot com at
(04:26):
Erez visa for Billy Joel here on ninety eight point
one The Breeze. Six forty three is the time on
the note. I often hear you try to get it
right on the note. I could do this too, super
nerd out over It's the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Quart.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay, so I need your advice. I got an invite
for something that I'm glad. I usually don't get an
invite for this, and now I don't know what to
do with it. I got an invite to a funeral, okay,
and it came via email and it is somebody I know.
I'm not super close to them, but I've never been
invited to a funeral.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's like a personal invite to a funeral.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I think it went to a bunch of people. Okay, Okay,
so what do you do. I don't know this person well,
enough to go, sure, but I feel like I should
address it. Do you write back and say, hey, thank
you for the invite? I honestly don't know what the
polite thing to do is.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I think in this case the appropriate thing would be
to to do a quick note back saying, hey, I
appreciate your thinking of me. I'm thinking of you. I'm
not going to be able to make it, but you know.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
What you say after this, I don't know, because that's okay.
What plans are more important than somebody's funeral? Do you
know what I'm saying, I'm not going to be able
to make it. Why can't you make it?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
If this is an acquaintance that you know but don't
know very well, Like you know, you only have so
many days off, you're a busy person. That is not
an excuse somebody dies. No, I understand, I don't think. Listen,
at the end of the day, people aren't at a
funeral looking around saying who didn't show up? That's a
(06:05):
good point, and so you know they're just they're probably
just sitting there and off like, look at all these
great people who did show up, Carolyn. Does not make
me feel better because look, a lot of people can't
can't make it. The funerals. It's on a weekend. You know,
(06:26):
you don't you never plan for funerals because they just happen.
Do I have to do? I write back? I think
I think you could say simply thank you for thinking
of me, wishing you the best. I'm not gonna be
able to make it. I think you can just what
if what if I didn't do anything? Well, that's that's
another way to do it. This was moderately helpful.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Maybe people have advice, Yeah, to get an invite an
email is that's that's what's different about this because typically
you find out I mean obviously it's somebody in your
family you get you don't get an invite, you just
get informed, Hey the funeral is this date?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I know?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And otherwise you're you're seeing it in the obituaries like
in the newspapers or online.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Has anybody else ever had this happen? If you have,
how did you handle it? Because I need to know?
Send us a talk back with our iHeartRadio app call
us eight seven seven.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Nine eight one nine eight one. That would be tremendously helpful.
Carolyn's really struggling with this this morning, I am. I
feel bad and I haven't been able to help at all. No,
you've been, I said moderately, and I appreciate that part.
Thank you, Thank you. Hey. Coming up later this morning
at eight fifty, as you begin your workday, we're going
to give you ninety eight minutes of non stop, commercial free,
(07:43):
relaxing favorites.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It is a great way to start out your Friday morning,
So you don't want to miss this. Be here at
eight fifty is we're going to be commercial free for
your Friday here on the Breeze. Every Friday morning, just
after seven o'clock, this is when we announce our Morning
Breeze person of the Week. We've got a great one
for you today, we do.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's one of our favorite times of the week, but
it's also one of the most difficult because we get
so many great nominations of great people in the Bay Area.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, as we've mentioned in the past, we have a
lot of people that are very close that nominate one another.
Could be relatives, or it could be very good friends
co workers. Yes, but in this case, I get the
feeling that these two people don't.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Know each other that well. Their acquaintances.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, so it's Pat who nominated her neighbor, Paul. We've
got Pat on the phone with us, so tell us
about Paul and why you nominated him.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
He's just one of these people. He and his wife
both actually are two people that give so much to
this community and to other people. That's just how they
live their lives. They're very active in their church. And
you know the reason that I nominated him. A neighbor
right across the street from me and down the street
(08:56):
from Paul, and this is just typical of the they
are was recently diagnosed with a very very serious illness,
and Paul just noticed that his yard was getting, you know,
out of scruffy, and he just took it upon himself
to just go over and take care of the yard.
Because then the neighbor was always the person that did everything.
(09:20):
At Christmas time, he makes carmels and he gives them
to his church and he gives you know, he's just
one of those kinds of people. So I just when
I was sitting in the car the other day and listening,
and I thought, I'm gonna tell them a little bit
about Paul.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We're so glad you did.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
They're sure there are a lot of wonderful people in
this world. He just happens to be one of them
that steps out and does things for others.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He sounds exactly like the kind of neighbor you would
want to have, and you're fortunate enough that he is
one of your neighbors. Yeah, exactly. All right, Pat, thanks
for talking with us about Paul this morning. We're gonna
let you go and then we're going to try calling
Paul and let him know. Yeah, and we appreciate you listening.
Thanks again, Pat.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Bye, guys.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, let's try and get Paul on the phone.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Hi, Paul.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, Hey, it's Carolyn and Court from ninety eight point
one the Breeze.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Hey, Carolyn, how are you.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We're good. How are you doing well?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
I'm just ready to go out and play some golf.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Oh very nice. Are you going nine or eighteen today?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Doing well?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
We will make it quick then so you can get
back to what's really important. But we wanted to call you,
but your neighbor, Pat reached out to us.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Okay, and Pat.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Was telling us about what an incredible neighbor you are
and all of the different things that you're doing active
in church. President of the Hoa an amazing friend and
amazing neighbor, and we do a feature every Friday morning
called her Morning Breeze Person of the Week. She heard
that and said, I've got just the person for you guys.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's Paul.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Wow, and you've got the right, Paul. I think we
think so.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
You are the president of the HOA.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Correct I am president of the HOA. Yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And you're active in your church.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Very active at the church.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And you have a neighbor named Pat. I do I
think we got the right. I think we have the right, Paul. Yeah,
so Paul. It's it's basically a way for us to
celebrate people in the Bay Area who are doing good things,
not looking for recognition, but we want to point out
to everybody else, Hey, there are great people in the
Bay Area and these people deserve recognition.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
I really appreciate that, and I appreciate Pat noticing.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
So you're probably wondering, like, what's the second half of this.
There is a second half. We like to do something
for our persons of the week that they might not
normally do for themselves, and in this case, we're going
to send you out on a cruise of the Bay
Courtesy of city cruises a nice Sunday brunch.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Ah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So we're gonna give you and a guest an opportunity
to go out on a Sunday morning, have some brunch.
You're going to go over to Salsolito. Then they'll take
you on a city cruises over to Oracle Park. You're
going to go under and around all the bridges. It's
going to be a great morning out there. It's just
our way of saying on Pat's behalf, thank you for
all you do for the community and for being such
(12:24):
a great person.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Oh man, well, I appreciate that, and like you said,
I don't look for any reward, but this is great.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And we hope that this really helps your golf game today,
that you play.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Extra weap.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
So they will. I'll be thinking about it all day.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
All right, We appreciate you, Paul, have a wonderful day,
and thanks for being on with us this morning.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Oh all right, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
If there is somebody like Paul in your life, we
would love to hear about them for our next Morning
Breeze Person of the Week.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Absolutely, we are taking your nominations as we speak, get
them into us ninety eight one the Breeze dot Com.
Right there on our homepage. Seven twenty eight is the
time with UB forty. 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.
If you've got anything on your mind, we want to
hear from you. Presetend like nobody's watching. What pops in
(13:18):
your head? What do you really want to know?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Man? The answers to some of those questions could be scary.
You're not wrong about that. Eight seven seven nine eight one.
That's how you reach us. You can also send us
your question on our free iHeartRadio app using the.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Talkback mic Hey, I'm listening on our iHeartRadio app in Missouri.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Ask us anything.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That question would be like, if you're invited to somewhere
and you forgotten, didn't get a gift or whatever, and
you don't have time to stop or get a gift
card or anything like that, is it appropriate to hand
the person that you need to give a gift to?
And I owe you just write a little note. Since
I was rushed, I will get back with would that
(14:01):
be appropriate? Because I have done that? And then I
would get back with them after a graduation.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I would say, I think that's very appropriate because I
still think it's very thoughtful. And you know, a gift
is being provided at some point.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So if it was your birthday court and I gave
you an IOE you, you wouldn't be upset at all.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Not at all, Wow, not at all. I think some
people like, I'm trying to think this through because I
went to an engagement party recently and my wife and
I show up and somebody else said, hey, where's your gift?
And we're like, we didn't. This is an engagement party.
Were we supposed to bring a gift? Really?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Were you supposed to bring a gift to an engagement party?
We didn't think that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I didn't think so, because we're planning on bringing it
giving the gift to the wedding whoa, and so I
can't remember. I don't think we did anything, but I
started thinking, I'm like, man, shoot, what should we do?
So we I guess we could have in that instance
done io you. I just gave it high five and
a hug to the procactical. Well, I'm sure they appreciated that.
(15:00):
So that's a great question, Pam.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I think also we should ask our listeners this question
because I think this would be interesting to see what
people say about this.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
That's a great question. Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I just love talking to you guys. I'm listening to
your radio stations every day. I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Appreciate Thank you. Make it a good day and happy Friday.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yes, mam, you too, thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That is exactly how ask us Anything works.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, if you've got a question you want to ask us,
you can call us eight seven seven nine eight one
oh nine eight one, or submit those questions on our
free iHeartRadio app using the talkback feature.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, we do it every weekday morning at seven twenty five.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Now coming up at eight fifty.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
This morning, a reminder we are going to be commercial
free here on the Breeze. A great way to get
your Friday underway.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, ninety eight minutes of non stop, commercial free, relaxing favorites.
We're doing that at eight fifty here on the Morning Breeze.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's Boys to Men and it is the Morning Breeze
with Carolyn and Corda at eight oh seven.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
So Carolyn, there is I don't even want to call
it an unwritten rule because people talk about it all
the time. The rule that you wait until everybody at
the dinner table or the restaurant wherever you may be,
has their food before you commence eating.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yes, And as I mentioned a couple of minutes ago,
this to me is what's called manners, right, that's how
we were brought up.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, well, apparently, according to research, the only one that's
really uncomfortable with this whole thing, that the only person
that really wants to follow the rule is yourself. You
hold yourself to this rule, nobody else because think of
how many times you're at a restaurant other people get
their food and what do you say to them? So
(16:40):
start to eat, right, But you don't want to be
that person that starts eating.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Sort of like a reverse psychology thing that you're pulling
here where it's like, the problem isn't them, The problem
is you. You're the one who's holding out the table to
whatever's interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I never thought about that. So the uncomfortableness comes from yourself,
It doesn't come from other people. Because you're sitting there
and somebody starts eating, you're not mad at them. Let's
be honest, we all want to eat as soon as
you do hits the table.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Everybody does. But I think to what I said earlier.
This is something that has been ingrained in our minds
from our parents when we grew up.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
That's just how it was in the old days. Sure,
you don't start eating until dad starts eating too.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, I forgot about that, but yeah, So that's why
it's hard to unlearn those habits that we've been, you know,
doing for our entire lives.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
And I guess there's a courtesy to it. Like if
you're at a big formal dinner. A lot of places,
if you go to fancy restaurants, they time it out
so that everybody's getting their food at the exact same time,
and you never have this issue. Yeah, but you know,
you go to other restaurants and sometimes you ever be
the person that's waiting like five ten minutes. I've been
places where everybody's finished their meals and mine still hasn't
(17:55):
come out.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I feel like a dog when that happens, because in
my brain, all that's happening is I really want to eat.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I really want to eat. I really want to eat.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And here's the other thing, Court, I don't want to
practice what you're telling me on like going out with
a group and I start eating and then be wrong,
it backfires, and then what am I gonna say?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Like Court said on the Morning Brees, I will give
you a pass, said Court. On the Morning Breeze said
that it was totally fine for me to start eating
a pass. Okay, great, because again, if you think, if
you think about it, you are the only one that
becomes uncomfortable with it. Because I'm gonna know, I'm gonna
hold myself to these manners, but everybody else is fine.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'm gonna consider this. I'm gonna consider it. I'm not
gonna say I'm gonna do it, but I'm gonna consider it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Okay, we're at eight seven seven nine eight one nine
eight one. Are you somebody that like when you go
out to eat, you just start, you don't wait, and
you're totally okay with it and it works.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Great.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I need some confidence here. I need people to call
and say it's totally okay to do that. Chicken alfredo
was perfectly timed. So if you don't start eating it right.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Away, good, not gonna be as good.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
All right, And you can always send us a message
with our iHeartRadio app. A lot of people using the
talkback feature on our app which we love, and it's
a very convenient way for you to send us a message.
What it works for your schedule for sure? And coming
up speaking of your schedule, as you arrived to work,
and you maybe have a report d or some sort
of presentation.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh on a Friday. Maybe maybe you're in boxing something
you know you've got, but you know what, let's help
you out. Okay, ninety eight minutes of NonStop, commercial free
relaxing favorites. It's happening at eight point fifty here on
the Morning Breeze
The Morning Breeze, The Morning Breeze on Demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
And it is time for the Morning Breeze Brain Teas.
I really really like today's question. Yeah, and I'm excited
for the guesses we're going to get for this one
Morning Breeze Brain Teas sponsored by Mike Council Plumbing. You
are in clean hands with My Council Plumbing. See them
online at mc plumbing dot com. Twenty one percent of
us say we will never do this in public, okay
(00:27):
eight seven seven nine eight one nine eight one adele
in Millbray, Good morning Europe.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
First, what do you think the answer is? Cardinals, cardnows.
If it's only twenty one percent, we've got problems here. Yeah. No,
I think one hundred percent of us should be saying,
alill never do this in public. But let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I saw it on the way to work this morning,
the person next to me and they did not know
I was watching, And then I couldn't look away. You
know when you want to look away and you're like
stop looking and you can't. That was me today.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
People in their cars and they think they're alone in there.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Guys, it is crazy. Glass of sea through that window
is not tinted at all. I saw it all.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh, just think about this way.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
They're all watching.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
You just know they're always watching.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Picking your nose is not the answer we're looking for today, Adell.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I mean my one year old, he does that all
the time. I'm like, wow, you create him again. He's
just learning.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
He gets passed. One year old gets passed. He gets Yeah, No,
all right, we'll have a good day. Thanks for calling.
He too, All right, Bye bye, Donna and Martinez A right.
Twenty one percent of us will never do this in public,
walk on their phone.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
And I think there's very few people that would do that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Most people are just oblivious to their surroundings.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So true. I'm in the line of the bank. I'll
answer that phone. Isn't not obnoxious? Hey, Bob, Yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I'm not even talking speaker phone.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, at the Iron number right right right, you'd hear them,
and you can hear the person not through the speaker phone.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I can hear your conversation, same man. They're usually using
bad language.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I know, Donna. Which is the worst is always when
I'm with my mom. I'm so embarrassed.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
And they have kids with them.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I love that Donna keeps smiling on. Well, there's a
lot of scenarios make that make talking publicly on a
cell phone. You have really great painted a pictures fact.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
You know your kids are that You're right?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What are you watch? You really really great answer, But
it's not the answer we're looking for today.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
What's the answer?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:33):
What?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Twenty one percent of us say we will never sing
in public? Would you sing in public?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Not karaoke?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And I can sing.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I sang in high junior high, in high school, six years.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
But you won't do it in public now? No, you
know your limits, Donna. I appreciate that about you, but
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I'm not a bad singer.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I don't know. I'm just self conscious.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Us saying like crazy in my car, Well, that's when
we're all at our best.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Tell me a few things. I guess.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It's all about everybody learns on the brain. Teas. All right,
you guys should have a great day. You too, Happy Friday,
enjoy your day. You know, I'm thinking about this. I
would probably count myself among the people that would say
I would never do this in public. I would never
sing in public, But then push comes to shove, I would.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, I could see you getting up there and doing
some kadaoki.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, I could do some. I'm not big into karaoke,
but push comes to shove, I would probably do it.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Okay, I could see that, and I'd like to be
there for that when that happens. Please, it's like an invite.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Don't hold your breath.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Okay, Morning Breeze brain Teas. You know we play every
weekday morning at this time at six twenty.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Something else we do on the regular. In fact, we're
going to be doing it today just after seven o'clock
we will be naming a new Morning Breeze Person of
the Week.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You know, there is still time, even though it's six
twenty three in the morning, still plenty of time for
you to get those nominations in. If there is somebody
who are like I want to get them in for
today's person of the week, you have time to submit
your nomination and tell us about this person, why they're
so good, why they deserve to be our Morning Breeze
Person of the week.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And of course we should point out if they are
not selected for today's Morning Breeze Person of the Week.
There's plenty of when once you get that entry in
the are in for multiple weeks. We hang on to it.
So we just hang onto it and we circle back
to it, and yeah, we just love to celebrate all
these great people in the Bay area. So again, if
you know somebody doing good things, make that nomination on
our website ninety eight one The Breeze dot com at
(04:26):
Erez visa for Billy Joel here on ninety eight point
one The Breeze. Six forty three is the time on
the note. I often hear you try to get it
right on the note. I could do this too, super
nerd out over It's the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Quart.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay, so I need your advice. I got an invite
for something that I'm glad. I usually don't get an
invite for this, and now I don't know what to
do with it. I got an invite to a funeral, okay,
and it came via email and it is somebody I know.
I'm not super close to them, but I've never been
invited to a funeral.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's like a personal invite to a funeral.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I think it went to a bunch of people. Okay, Okay,
so what do you do. I don't know this person well,
enough to go, sure, but I feel like I should
address it. Do you write back and say, hey, thank
you for the invite? I honestly don't know what the
polite thing to do is.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I think in this case the appropriate thing would be
to to do a quick note back saying, hey, I
appreciate your thinking of me. I'm thinking of you. I'm
not going to be able to make it, but you know.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
What you say after this, I don't know, because that's okay.
What plans are more important than somebody's funeral? Do you
know what I'm saying, I'm not going to be able
to make it. Why can't you make it?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
If this is an acquaintance that you know but don't
know very well, Like you know, you only have so
many days off, you're a busy person. That is not
an excuse somebody dies. No, I understand, I don't think. Listen,
at the end of the day, people aren't at a
funeral looking around saying who didn't show up? That's a
(06:05):
good point, and so you know they're just they're probably
just sitting there and off like, look at all these
great people who did show up, Carolyn. Does not make
me feel better because look, a lot of people can't
can't make it. The funerals. It's on a weekend. You know,
(06:26):
you don't you never plan for funerals because they just happen.
Do I have to do? I write back? I think
I think you could say simply thank you for thinking
of me, wishing you the best. I'm not gonna be
able to make it. I think you can just what
if what if I didn't do anything? Well, that's that's
another way to do it. This was moderately helpful.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Maybe people have advice, Yeah, to get an invite an
email is that's that's what's different about this because typically
you find out I mean obviously it's somebody in your
family you get you don't get an invite, you just
get informed, Hey the funeral is this date?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I know?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And otherwise you're you're seeing it in the obituaries like
in the newspapers or online.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Has anybody else ever had this happen? If you have,
how did you handle it? Because I need to know?
Send us a talk back with our iHeartRadio app call
us eight seven seven.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Nine eight one nine eight one. That would be tremendously helpful.
Carolyn's really struggling with this this morning, I am. I
feel bad and I haven't been able to help at all. No,
you've been, I said moderately, and I appreciate that part.
Thank you, Thank you. Hey. Coming up later this morning
at eight fifty, as you begin your workday, we're going
to give you ninety eight minutes of non stop, commercial free,
(07:43):
relaxing favorites.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It is a great way to start out your Friday morning,
So you don't want to miss this. Be here at
eight fifty is we're going to be commercial free for
your Friday here on the Breeze. Every Friday morning, just
after seven o'clock, this is when we announce our Morning
Breeze person of the Week. We've got a great one
for you today, we do.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's one of our favorite times of the week, but
it's also one of the most difficult because we get
so many great nominations of great people in the Bay Area.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, as we've mentioned in the past, we have a
lot of people that are very close that nominate one another.
Could be relatives, or it could be very good friends
co workers. Yes, but in this case, I get the
feeling that these two people don't.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Know each other that well. Their acquaintances.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, so it's Pat who nominated her neighbor, Paul. We've
got Pat on the phone with us, so tell us
about Paul and why you nominated him.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
He's just one of these people. He and his wife
both actually are two people that give so much to
this community and to other people. That's just how they
live their lives. They're very active in their church. And
you know the reason that I nominated him. A neighbor
right across the street from me and down the street
(08:56):
from Paul, and this is just typical of the they
are was recently diagnosed with a very very serious illness,
and Paul just noticed that his yard was getting, you know,
out of scruffy, and he just took it upon himself
to just go over and take care of the yard.
Because then the neighbor was always the person that did everything.
(09:20):
At Christmas time, he makes carmels and he gives them
to his church and he gives you know, he's just
one of those kinds of people. So I just when
I was sitting in the car the other day and listening,
and I thought, I'm gonna tell them a little bit
about Paul.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We're so glad you did.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
They're sure there are a lot of wonderful people in
this world. He just happens to be one of them
that steps out and does things for others.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He sounds exactly like the kind of neighbor you would
want to have, and you're fortunate enough that he is
one of your neighbors. Yeah, exactly. All right, Pat, thanks
for talking with us about Paul this morning. We're gonna
let you go and then we're going to try calling
Paul and let him know. Yeah, and we appreciate you listening.
Thanks again, Pat.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Bye, guys.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, let's try and get Paul on the phone.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Hi, Paul.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, Hey, it's Carolyn and Court from ninety eight point
one the Breeze.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Hey, Carolyn, how are you.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We're good. How are you doing well?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
I'm just ready to go out and play some golf.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Oh very nice. Are you going nine or eighteen today?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Doing well?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
We will make it quick then so you can get
back to what's really important. But we wanted to call you,
but your neighbor, Pat reached out to us.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Okay, and Pat.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Was telling us about what an incredible neighbor you are
and all of the different things that you're doing active
in church. President of the Hoa an amazing friend and
amazing neighbor, and we do a feature every Friday morning
called her Morning Breeze Person of the Week. She heard
that and said, I've got just the person for you guys.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's Paul.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Wow, and you've got the right, Paul. I think we
think so.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
You are the president of the HOA.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Correct I am president of the HOA. Yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And you're active in your church.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Very active at the church.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And you have a neighbor named Pat. I do I
think we got the right. I think we have the right, Paul. Yeah,
so Paul. It's it's basically a way for us to
celebrate people in the Bay Area who are doing good things,
not looking for recognition, but we want to point out
to everybody else, Hey, there are great people in the
Bay Area and these people deserve recognition.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
I really appreciate that, and I appreciate Pat noticing.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
So you're probably wondering, like, what's the second half of this.
There is a second half. We like to do something
for our persons of the week that they might not
normally do for themselves, and in this case, we're going
to send you out on a cruise of the Bay
Courtesy of city cruises a nice Sunday brunch.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Ah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So we're gonna give you and a guest an opportunity
to go out on a Sunday morning, have some brunch.
You're going to go over to Salsolito. Then they'll take
you on a city cruises over to Oracle Park. You're
going to go under and around all the bridges. It's
going to be a great morning out there. It's just
our way of saying on Pat's behalf, thank you for
all you do for the community and for being such
(12:24):
a great person.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Oh man, well, I appreciate that, and like you said,
I don't look for any reward, but this is great.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And we hope that this really helps your golf game today,
that you play.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Extra weap.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
So they will. I'll be thinking about it all day.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
All right, We appreciate you, Paul, have a wonderful day,
and thanks for being on with us this morning.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Oh all right, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
If there is somebody like Paul in your life, we
would love to hear about them for our next Morning
Breeze Person of the Week.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Absolutely, we are taking your nominations as we speak, get
them into us ninety eight one the Breeze dot Com.
Right there on our homepage. Seven twenty eight is the
time with UB forty. 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.
If you've got anything on your mind, we want to
hear from you. Presetend like nobody's watching. What pops in
(13:18):
your head? What do you really want to know?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Man? The answers to some of those questions could be scary.
You're not wrong about that. Eight seven seven nine eight one.
That's how you reach us. You can also send us
your question on our free iHeartRadio app using the.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Talkback mic Hey, I'm listening on our iHeartRadio app in Missouri.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Ask us anything.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That question would be like, if you're invited to somewhere
and you forgotten, didn't get a gift or whatever, and
you don't have time to stop or get a gift
card or anything like that, is it appropriate to hand
the person that you need to give a gift to?
And I owe you just write a little note. Since
I was rushed, I will get back with would that
(14:01):
be appropriate? Because I have done that? And then I
would get back with them after a graduation.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I would say, I think that's very appropriate because I
still think it's very thoughtful. And you know, a gift
is being provided at some point.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So if it was your birthday court and I gave
you an IOE you, you wouldn't be upset at all.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Not at all, Wow, not at all. I think some
people like, I'm trying to think this through because I
went to an engagement party recently and my wife and
I show up and somebody else said, hey, where's your gift?
And we're like, we didn't. This is an engagement party.
Were we supposed to bring a gift? Really?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Were you supposed to bring a gift to an engagement party?
We didn't think that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I didn't think so, because we're planning on bringing it
giving the gift to the wedding whoa, and so I
can't remember. I don't think we did anything, but I
started thinking, I'm like, man, shoot, what should we do?
So we I guess we could have in that instance
done io you. I just gave it high five and
a hug to the procactical. Well, I'm sure they appreciated that.
(15:00):
So that's a great question, Pam.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I think also we should ask our listeners this question
because I think this would be interesting to see what
people say about this.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
That's a great question. Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I just love talking to you guys. I'm listening to
your radio stations every day. I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Appreciate Thank you. Make it a good day and happy Friday.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yes, mam, you too, thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That is exactly how ask us Anything works.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, if you've got a question you want to ask us,
you can call us eight seven seven nine eight one
oh nine eight one, or submit those questions on our
free iHeartRadio app using the talkback feature.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, we do it every weekday morning at seven twenty five.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Now coming up at eight fifty.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
This morning, a reminder we are going to be commercial
free here on the Breeze. A great way to get
your Friday underway.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, ninety eight minutes of non stop, commercial free, relaxing favorites.
We're doing that at eight fifty here on the Morning Breeze.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's Boys to Men and it is the Morning Breeze
with Carolyn and Corda at eight oh seven.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
So Carolyn, there is I don't even want to call
it an unwritten rule because people talk about it all
the time. The rule that you wait until everybody at
the dinner table or the restaurant wherever you may be,
has their food before you commence eating.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yes, And as I mentioned a couple of minutes ago,
this to me is what's called manners, right, that's how
we were brought up.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, well, apparently, according to research, the only one that's
really uncomfortable with this whole thing, that the only person
that really wants to follow the rule is yourself. You
hold yourself to this rule, nobody else because think of
how many times you're at a restaurant other people get
their food and what do you say to them? So
(16:40):
start to eat, right, But you don't want to be
that person that starts eating.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Sort of like a reverse psychology thing that you're pulling
here where it's like, the problem isn't them, The problem
is you. You're the one who's holding out the table to
whatever's interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I never thought about that. So the uncomfortableness comes from yourself,
It doesn't come from other people. Because you're sitting there
and somebody starts eating, you're not mad at them. Let's
be honest, we all want to eat as soon as
you do hits the table.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Everybody does. But I think to what I said earlier.
This is something that has been ingrained in our minds
from our parents when we grew up.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
That's just how it was in the old days. Sure,
you don't start eating until dad starts eating too.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, I forgot about that, but yeah, So that's why
it's hard to unlearn those habits that we've been, you know,
doing for our entire lives.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
And I guess there's a courtesy to it. Like if
you're at a big formal dinner. A lot of places,
if you go to fancy restaurants, they time it out
so that everybody's getting their food at the exact same time,
and you never have this issue. Yeah, but you know,
you go to other restaurants and sometimes you ever be
the person that's waiting like five ten minutes. I've been
places where everybody's finished their meals and mine still hasn't
(17:55):
come out.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I feel like a dog when that happens, because in
my brain, all that's happening is I really want to eat.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I really want to eat. I really want to eat.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And here's the other thing, Court, I don't want to
practice what you're telling me on like going out with
a group and I start eating and then be wrong,
it backfires, and then what am I gonna say?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Like Court said on the Morning Brees, I will give
you a pass, said Court. On the Morning Breeze said
that it was totally fine for me to start eating
a pass. Okay, great, because again, if you think, if
you think about it, you are the only one that
becomes uncomfortable with it. Because I'm gonna know, I'm gonna
hold myself to these manners, but everybody else is fine.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'm gonna consider this. I'm gonna consider it. I'm not
gonna say I'm gonna do it, but I'm gonna consider it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Okay, we're at eight seven seven nine eight one nine
eight one. Are you somebody that like when you go
out to eat, you just start, you don't wait, and
you're totally okay with it and it works.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Great.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I need some confidence here. I need people to call
and say it's totally okay to do that. Chicken alfredo
was perfectly timed. So if you don't start eating it right.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Away, good, not gonna be as good.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
All right, And you can always send us a message
with our iHeartRadio app. A lot of people using the
talkback feature on our app which we love, and it's
a very convenient way for you to send us a message.
What it works for your schedule for sure? And coming
up speaking of your schedule, as you arrived to work,
and you maybe have a report d or some sort
of presentation.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh on a Friday. Maybe maybe you're in boxing something
you know you've got, but you know what, let's help
you out. Okay, ninety eight minutes of NonStop, commercial free
relaxing favorites. It's happening at eight point fifty here on
the Morning Breeze
