the morning where we bring you the Morning Breeze. Brain
Teas sponsored by Mike Council Plumbing. You're in clean hands

Today's question survey found that over half of phone users.

have a lot of people calling for this one. We're
at eight seven seven nine eight one oh nine eight one.
A reminder, you can always reach out to us with
our iHeartRadio app by sending in your guests with our app.
It's just that microphone in the top right corner of
our app. But we're going to go to the phones first.
Randy and Tracy, good morning. What do you think the

(00:49):
answer is for the brain teas?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I would say, delete their delete their tabs.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Oh, delete their tabs, like oh yeah, you ever looked
at your like Safari or whatever your chrome your browser
is and see how many tabs you have.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I mean we got like five hundred pats open at
a time. No, I never have. I probably have five
hundred dollars, so.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Probably should look it'll it'll probably shock you, really. And
they also don't make it very easy for you to
close those down all at once. Oh, like you have
to go through and I think you have to do
them individually unless you know something I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Oh my gosh, mine would be like a thousand games
of word.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
That is a well informed guess, but it's not the
correct one, all right, Jesus by Michael and Heyward, what
do you think? The answer is?

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Change the password?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Change their password?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
What a guess. That's a guess. When was the last
time you changed your password? Coord?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I know on my early iPhones I used a different
pass code than the one I have today. So but
it's been probably at least a decade too, mine, Michael,
what about you years ago?

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Call a guest the guest.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, this is one of those circumstances where I'm going
to say, Michael, you are not wrong.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
You're just not right. Believe it or not.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
It's over half of cell phone users haven't done, haven't
listened to a voicemail message in three years, they listened
to a voicemail. Voicemail, but they're just not listening to it.
They just call the people back or they or ghosting them.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
That's when you get somebody's voicemail and it says, this
voicemail box is full, exactly. I hate that talking to you, mom. Well,
now you know we all learn something. I listen to
something every day for you guys in the morning. Well,
that's a big compliment that you actually learn from us. Wow,
do you're that wh thought? What a thought?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
On a way, worry, I learned something every morning.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, we appreciate having you in our audience. You're the best,
and we hope you have a good day. Thank you,
Thanks Michael. So it's funny that this was the question
today because last night I called a friend who I
haven't talked to in a while, and she didn't answer.
I got her voicemail, and I left a voicemail, and
I actually sat on the voicemail. You're probably never even
going to check this, so I'm basically talking to myself.

(03:01):
And she did call me back, so she either read
the transcript or she did listen to it. But I
did feel weird leaving a voicemail.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, the transcript is a game changer, Like, I love
the transcript because you just you can just read it anywhere,
you don't have to. You know, it's the best you
can be in the middle of a meeting. And yeah,
can listen quote, listen to your messages.

was a huge addition to the font. So good good

Good morning, Tony in Fairfield. You've got a question, all right,
ask us anything?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
What if you go to coffee order at Starbucks?

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well, that is a great question.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
However, yeah, when we're not drinking San Francisco Bay coffee, yes,
we will occasionally go.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
So you go to Starbucks out, I go alive, well,
because I do San Francisco Bay Coffee in the morning
and then midday you're out on the road running errands. Okay, Court,
so what do you get at Starbucks? I'm a mocha guy.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I always just go with a mocha, and these days
I'm trying to do like a tall mocha because the
sugar right.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah. Yeah. Now when I go to Starbucks, I enjoy
the ice coffee is there, okay, so I'll go of
sweet vanilla cream or vanilla sweet cream. I can never
remember what order of the words, but that's what I do.
Your people just understand when you walk in the door,
I just place the order and go in and pick
it out. Or I do an ice coffee no ice hack,

(05:36):
because the coffee is already cold. Then you get more coffee.
Oh with the salted caramel cold foam. That is my favorite.
But again I looked up the nutritional value of that
cold foam and I almost fell on the floor. There's
a lot of sugar in So Tony will ask you,
what's your go to Starbucks order? I'm cato grill. Oh

(05:56):
my gosh, I'm such a fan of those are good.
I would really drink those every day if I could,
and though the sugar. Yeah a good question, Tony. I
love it.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I got that app because I'm headed to Hawaii, so
I got that.

Speaker 3 (06:09):

We've got more tickets to the twenty twenty six Alameda
County Fair to give away.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
So excited about this. Yeah, they do such a nice job.
I go to the Alameda County County Fair every year.
I've been going since I was a kid. It's so
much fun. There's so much to do. The food is fantastic,
the performances, like the artists that come. I've seen some
of the best bands there are, like my favorite bands,
Hop Notch. It's so good. So yeah, be here at
seven forty for your chance to win a four pack

(08:34):
of tickets on the Breeze.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Richard Marks at seven five Here on ninety eight point
one The Breeze. You've got the Morning Breeze with Carolyn
and Corda. As we just said, it's time now for
the Brighter Side, a chance for you to call into
the show and tell us about the good and positive
things happening in your life. That could be big wins,
small joys, sure, anything in between. It's the Brighter Side,
sponsored by Shreaving Company, Luxury time pieces, fine designers, and

(08:57):
Flawless Diamonds.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oftentimes I feel like we're sitting back and we're like,
you know what, we're going to sit down. You bring
the good stuff to us and we get to sit
back and enjoy your stories, which makes it fine. And yes,
you can send those Brighter sides to us with our
iHeartRadio app and that talkback, Mike. That is where today's
brighter side comes from.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yes, I wanted to give a rock star shout out
to my son who's five. His name is Landon and
in his soccer season this year, he scored sixteen goals.
He's an all around great kid. He just started kindergarten
this year and he is way selling, way more than
we ever expected. And he's just an all around great kid.

(09:38):
And I'm glad to calling my son.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
All Right, Wow, what a cool dad. Nice job. Landed
a proud parent moment for sure. Yeah, you've probably had
a lot of those in your life with your girls.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Oh there is no better feeling as a parent than
witnessing your child do just be themselves and do it
kind of in a public setting. I think that's why
sports and dancing and you know, music and all the
different activities that we try to encourage our kids to do.
But to see them go and just do it and

(10:10):
you know, just perform excel at it. Sometimes it just
feels good. You swell up with pride, and it's just
it's the good kind of pride game.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
And you kind of alluded to this. They're just doing
what they do. Like for his son, land In. He's
going out and playing soccer and scoring goals, and he's
so young. He's just having a good time and excelling,
as he mentioned, And I think that that's great, that's
a great brighter side.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
And this is just the beginning of it for him,
because Landon is five years old. Yeah, and this is
really where the personalities really start to develop. Yeah, just
wait until he's like older in elementary school and gets
in the middle school and then high school.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I do have to say, though, my niece and my
nephew played soccer, and there is nothing cuter than watching
kids play soccer. Oh yeah, they run with their little
legs up to one side, somebody kicks, the goalie barely moves,
the ball goes flying past the poor parents on the sideline,
and then the kids run all the way back and
the ball gets kicked. I mean, it is the cutest thing. Yeah,

(11:06):
bunch balls with this so cute. I was fortunate enough
to be the coach for a couple of my daughter's
soccer teams, yeah, when they were obviously super young. And
one of the best bits of advice I got actually
was from a radio co host or a cohort of mine.
It was worked on the sports station that was in
the building, and he said, look at that age, it's

(11:27):
not about fundamentals, it's you know, you just you want
them to go and have fun. The most important thing
you can do as a coach is make sure the
snacks are really, really good, oh so key, because that's
what's going to want to make them come back. And
when they start getting older, that's when you can start
teaching him the fundamentals.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
But at a young age, you just want them to
associate fun like fun times with sports. Well, I got
news for you.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
The most important thing for middle aged ladies tennis is
also the snacks. And you'll find okay, so what are
we talking like? Orange slices, crackers and Shardonnay crackers, cheese
shard see you later. It's a perfect Saturday afternoon anyway.
That's the brighter side every weekday morning, just after seven o'clock,
we welcome your stories and your experiences eight seven seven

(12:10):
nine eight one oh nine eight one, or send us
a talkback like he did, and be.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Sure to join us this morning at seven forty. It's
another chance to win tickets to the Alameda County Fair
in Pleasanton. This is all ahead of their upcoming Black
Friday Cyber Monday sale.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yes, you were going to have such a good time
next summer. It's kind of fun to think about better
weather ahead and next summer, and why not secure four
tickets now? So you like, no guaranteed, I'm going to
the fair for free. So be here at seven forty
your chance to win on the Breeze. It's Fleetwood Mac.
It is everywhere is seven twenty eight. Good morning. It
is the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court every weekday

(12:45):
morning around seven twenty five. We bring you a little
nuggative knowledge. It is the more you know, and it
is sponsored by the San Francisco Symphony.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
So you probably have seen in the news that the
average cost of a Thanksgiving meal is down this year slightly.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Which I was surprised to see. Yeah, they bare bones
this thing.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
They're basically like turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and like green beans,
the basics. It's like five five dollars or five dollars
and fifty cents per person if you're feeding ten people,
so it's like fifty five bucks. Okay, it seems very
very low. Yeah, that's a very bare bones Thanksgiving. It
does but that's fine if you're into that.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
No, it sounds actually great, though, However, what.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Does actual what does Thanksgiving actually cost the average American?
According to a recent report, nine and fifty two dollars?

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (13:34):
How did this go from five point fifty a person
to nine and fifty two dollars?

Speaker 2 (13:39):
When you start factoring in the food, the drinks, the decorations,
the travel, and the miscellaneous items like a lot of
people travel for Thanksgiving. I'm traveling this year. Yeah, and
so you got to factor that lights or airfare, that stuff, gas,
hotel if you're staying in a hotel.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
What are Thanksgiving decorations? Is that like a plant on
the table? Like it's called the centerpiece Carolyn, Okay, and
people go people go all in on their things. It's
it's a thing, I know, But I just feel like,
all of a sudden, I just feel like my family's
sitting around with banjos on Thanksgiving that I don't know.
It's I know what a centerpiece is. I just they

(14:19):
got like a people put a lot of effort into
those centerce Just trying to think what else the decorations
would be. Are the hanging stream?

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, we've got like half a box of Thanksgiving the
half a half a box of Thanksgiving decorations, and we
rarely get them out these days.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
What's the what's the use? Did your family back in
the eighties used to have the things that you would
tape up on the wall, like a turkey with some
glitter on it, and then you and then you take
it and you put it in the box. For next Thanksgiving,
you get it out, it would still have the tape
on it. And if you if you were lucky, you
could reuse the tape. Yes, what a bonus.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Oh no, I remember that for Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, Halloween,
just those It was that totally card stock decorations that
you get.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
I don't know where you'd pick those up. Where my
parents got those things? I love those. They lived for years.
Classic Christmas tree that was basically peeling apart, and we'd
still hang that thing up every year. Merry Christmas anyway,
So that when I think decorations, I'm thinking a plant
in the middle of the table, excuse me, a centerpiece
and those things that you stick to the wall.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Again, I I don't know, like what the average I
don't know what you spend. You sound like you're not
the average American. But when you combine all of these
things together, and food is not just the Thanksgiving meal,
it's the meals you have to spend around, the travel,
all that travel food.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
See now that that is where it's kicked out.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
So nine and fifty two dollars again is what the
average American is expected to spend on various things. However,
one third of Americans say they are cutting their Thanksgiving
budgets by about forty one percent. They're going to potluck
style meals, they're skip traveling. It's just it's it's expensive
right now.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
The travel is the big one. That's what really up number.
That's just crazy time. And I'm sure car rentals go
up around this time, hotels go up around this time,
all the things. So okay, informative, we're at eight seven
seven nine eight one nine eight one. Hey, come to
me for tips on Thanksgiving if you're looking to save money,
but but not on how to put together an I centerpiece,

(16:14):
clearly not. You can send us a message with our
iHeartRadio app that talkback Mike, and we are just minutes

forty here on the Breeze, I dare you to find

(17:48):
a more perfect song than that. No, it's the best,
so great whenne Houston, it's eight oh eight here on
ninety eight point one the Breeze. You've got the Morning
Breeze with Carolyn and Corden. Apparently Carolyn is struggling. I
am struggling.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
You know.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I had this realization yesterday that I'm having a really
hard time with something that has become pretty common in
the world. And I just want to know if anybody
else shares this severe struggle of mine, and that being
I am having the hardest time judging the speed of
e bikes. Oh yeah, yeah too, oh yeah. So I

(18:22):
would imagine you living here in San Francisco, that you
see it more than I do. But man, I was
making a left turn yesterday onto a street and there
was somebody on an e bike and I can't tell
if it's an e bike or not until it's right there.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Because from a distance they have the small a small
enough profile that they look like just a regular pedal. Right,
So I'm making this left and Conquered onto this street.
If you live in Conquered, I'm like Oak Grove Road
turning on a Ryan Road and this bike is coming
up the street and I'm thinking, oh, I have plenty
of time, and then all of a sudden, it's right there,

(18:58):
and I thought, oh my god, these e bikes and
it made me realize this isn't the first time I've
seen this. It just that particular moment made me realize,
I can't tell the difference.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Oh, there's zipping.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
There's been a few times where I'll be I'll be
doing my afternoon walk here in the city and I'll
be up on Market Street and there's just They'll They'll
be like a block down, yeah, and they're just zipping
along and I'm like, oh, I can cross here.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Nope, No, I mean they're there. And the thing is,
the crazy thing is they're so quiet because their e bikes. Obviously,
you know, with a moped back in the day. I
remember mopeds when you would have to oh yeah, use
the pedals to get it started. And then the thing
is you can hear them coming. That's what I was
gonna say. You can hear like a moped coming, but

(19:41):
you can't hear these e bikes coming, and they are
just as fast as a moped, and then it's just
like WHOA.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
I think the same can be said for scooters, yeah,
because they zip along a lot faster than the old
push you know, razor scooters that were so popular, and
then now they're all electric, electrified.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
You're right.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
I've been around a little longer, so I think our
brains are still to get used to it. But I
think this happens anytime where something is going faster than
it should be. It's like, you know, you're you see
a car coming and you think you've got time, but
that car car is not only speeding, it's going like
well over the speed limit, and suddenly it's right on you.
It's kind of that same thing where your brain makes
the calculation and ninety nine percent of the time you're right. Yeah,

(20:20):
But these e bikes are so new your brain hasn't
figured out how to how to track.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Them exactly that, and I'm hey, I'm not against the
e bikes. I love the idea of them, but like, whoa, Yeah,
So I'm wondering if anybody else, if you felt this,
if you had this experience, I'll bet a lot of
people have had this one hundred percent. Oh yeah, yeah,
we're at eight seven seven nine eight one nine eight one.
Use her iHeartRadio app and that talkback Mike to send
us a message if that's more convenient for you. We

(20:46):
know you're on the go this morning, You're doing a
million things, so just know you can always send us
a message with our app. That's a great way to
reach out to us when it's convenient for you. And

(21:06):
took a little peek here at what we have coming up.
We're gonna be playing everything from Alicia Keys to Elton
John to Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warrens Beiji's.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
I'm looking at the playlist list right now, and I
can verify everything Carolyn just said is true.

We're gonna play all that stuff that's me so good
commercial free at eight fifty here. Thanks Corn on the

Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
