Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Morning Breeze. The Morning Breeze on demand. This music
for Madonna at six seventeen. Here on ninety eight point
one The Breeze. You've got the Morning Breeze with Carolyn
and Corden. It's that time of the morning where we
like to help reduce stress because you know, learning trivia
and exercising your brain is a relaxing escape from the world.
(00:21):
I agree. I'm trying to make the Morning Breeze Brain
tea sound way more important than it is. It is
very important, it certainly is. It's sponsored by Mike Counsel Plumbing.
You're in clean hands with Mike Council Plumbing. Visit them
at mc plumbing dot com. All right, I like today's question.
This is a fun one. Yeah. You would normally consider
this a childhood activity, but it actually has a national
association and four major competitions in the United States every year.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Okay, we're at eight seven seven nine, eight one nine
eight one. Sue in Santa Rosica morning. What is your
guest for this one?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Hopscotch, Hopscotch. I remember Hopscotch Jackick. All of us probably
had the little squares on the playground.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, and it was never you that drew the squares
like they were either there from the school some other
kid had drawn them in chalk and they were like
kind of faded.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But yeah, hopscotch. I think is a really great answer.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, definitely a childhood favorite.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
For sure, but it's not the correct one today.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Okay, Sue, make it a good day, thanks for calling.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
All right, I, Carly and Alamito, what do you think
the answer is?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Blowing bubbles with your gum?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Bubbles with your gum.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I don't know, I know, so good, yeah, such, it
so makes sense because there's like a legit national competition
for everything.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
So why not that, I'll bet you. I don't know offhand,
but I would bet you there's at least one of those.
I'm now sorry, We're going to do the research in
the moment, Carly Blowing Gum.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
National Bubble Gum Blowing Championship Qualifiers to twenty seven in Trenton, Michigan.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
All right, we all know there had to be one
of these.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
That is hilarious. I can tell you that this does
say subscribe to ESPN plus. Oh yes, well on ESPN,
you guys.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
ESPN shows everything that's sport related these days.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
No, but come on, yeah, come on, yeah, that's funny.
I really love that answer, me too, Carly, but I
want it to be right, but it's not right. Ah, Harley,
what's the answer.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
The correct answer is there are four major competitions in
the United States every year for stone skipping.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Oh that's right up the alley with bubblegum blowing.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
No, it's it's again. It's considered a childhood activity, but
there's actually an association, a national association for it, and
major competitions, in this case, four of them around the
United States.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I could see that.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So the question is when is the last time you
went stone skipping?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Probably like when we went camping, like a year ago.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That's a solid camping art, Daryln. You were just around
a lake last weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I know they were skipping acorns in the lake.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh wow, lots of talent. I know. Oh I thought
so too.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Anyway, all right, Carly, we'll have a good day. It
was great to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Take care by bye.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The visual of skipping stones like makes me want to
go out skip stones.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And there's a technique too. That's why I was so
surprised about the acorns is because a good rock stone
for skipping as it flaps, but it's flat.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, the acorns, in all fairness, they were skipping them
off the dock and into the lake.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So they were getting that first bounce off the dock.
That might makes a difference if in case you're wondering
the current the current champion for stone skipping in the
United States, he's a guy by the name of John Jennings,
and he's probably going to be the champion for a
long time because not only is he the current US champion,
but he holds the Guinness World Record for the most
stone skips on a lake. Guess how many one hundred
(03:51):
close eighty eight eighty eight skips does that.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Mean in a row? John Jennings skipped these.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, one stone skipped eighty eight times across the lake.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I feel like his name does sound like a stone
skipper name. He's the stoning skipper, stone skipper.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Wow. That's quite a competition though.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
All Right, we're at eight seven seven, nine, eight one
nine eight one morning Breeze Brain teas we do it
every weekday morning at this time right around six twenty,
and be.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Sure to join us later in the show eight fifty
as we go commercial free ninety eight minutes of non stop, commercial, free,
relaxing favorites, and we'll do that at eight fifty. Here
on the Morning Breeze and Louise, it's.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Elton John and that is your song. Six point thirty nine,
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It is the Morning.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Breeze with Carolyn and Court. We do it every weekday
morning at this time at six point forty. It is
ask us anything. You can call us up and ask
us anything about the show, about our lives, just a
random question. We've been getting a lot of I'm gonna
call him Hodgepodge questions lately.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Hodgepodge. They are your question. Could be calling into the
show and say, Okay, Carolyn, what does Hodgepodge mean? Are
you serious? I'm just saying I'm just giving that as
an example of the variety of questions you can call
in and ask.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It could be that sure, Court, it could be that
we're an eight seven seven nine nine eight one.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Any question goes all right, Allison in Menlo Park, ask
us anything.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
My question is a lot of times people have a
memory associated with a song. My husband has a specific,
really good memory associated with a song, and every time
he hears that song, you go straight back to that memory.
Either of you have something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh wow, great question.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
And what's the song and what's the memory?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
For me? The instant thing that comes to mind is
when I was in high school, my best friend Ben
and I were traveling to a high school basketball game
that was out in the middle of nowhere in Utah.
This is where that's where I grew up. And on
the road trip that we took, Ram's Shiny Happy People
came on the radio. I love that song, and I
(05:59):
just remember cruising down the road singing along to it,
and for some reason it just sticks out in my mind,
and it's actually he and I think of it as
our song. It's our song between the two of us. Okay,
that's really cute.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Court, Yeah, all right, Allison, So what about you buy
the pool?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
With my friends in high school Howard Junks?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Which which song the one which you can dip.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Your foot in the pool but you can't have a swim?
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
No, one is to blame. Great song, great memory.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
My friend, my friend from high school Loveward Junk.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You can't go wrong with a little hojo, That's what
we called him in my high school. I'm sure he
would love that. Sure he would too. I don't think
he would.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Love that, okay.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Also on the bus with my friends in band.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
On a discmand Oh my gosh, a discman, the walkman
of CD players.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
They let me listen to Madonna while you play chess.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Another one where you remember where you were? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, Allison, that was great and such a fun trip
down memory lane. Thank you for calling and thanks for
the great question. You guys have a great morning, you too.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Okay, Carolyn, we didn't get your answer.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
What oh?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
What song instantly brings memories when you hear it?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I think Lionel Ritchie's Hello, because that was the song
that was playing at the dance in middle school when
I was hoping. Robert Chung would ask me to dance,
and it became like our song even though we had
no interest to me and made it our song. Hello
Robert Chung? Is it me you're looking for? I can
see you in my eyes, I could see you in
my smile.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I did eat and he did ask you to dance. No,
oh no, So I've hung onto that song a lot
of years. Wow, So I thought that these were memories?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well yeah, no, okay, So will to power baby? I
love your way that is another one that brings back memories.
I brought our neighbor Keith, who is my brother's best friend.
He's like family to us now, to a work party
in the eighties, and I don't think he wanted to
be there either.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
All Right, we need to work on your nostalgic memories here, Karen. Yeah,
this question really took a sharp write. Yeah. Anyway, thank
you Allison for calling in and asking though we appreciate it.
It's always great to think back because it is one
of those things you hear a song and the memories
just come back.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
They do, they do. And we have so many songs
like that on our radio station that we play, and
we hear that from a lot of people, like these
relaxing favorites that you just grew up listening to and
they have special moments for you in your life. All Right,
We're at eight seven seven nine eight one, nine eight one.
It's aska setting thing. We do it every weekday morning
at six forty and you can call us anytime, and
you can send us a message with our iHeartRadio app
(08:41):
anytime with a question.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We have people do that. Yeah, you will never ever
ever get a busy signal when you use the app,
just look for the red microphone button while you're streaming
the Breeze, that message will show up here in the studio.
It's the Culture Club here on ninety eight point one
The Breeze, The Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. Seven
six is the time and it's time for the bread
Side sponsored by streaming company Luxury time Pieces Find designers
(09:03):
and flawless designers diamonds. Let me start that over. Take
two sponsored by Shreven Company, Luxury time Pieces find designers
and flawless diamonds. There it is nailed it. Briarside is
the time where we celebrate the moments in life that
make you happy, whether it's at work, at home, whatever,
(09:24):
wherever you go in life. We want you to share
your briderside. Call us at eight seven seven nine eight
one nine eight one, or use the talkback feature on
our free iHeartRadio app. Yeah, this is a happy story
out of load I for sure. There's a retired teacher
from lod Eye. His name is Rod Woznik. He goes
to his mailbox the other day. There's a package in
the mail. It's got a book in it. He opens
(09:45):
this package. It's a geometry book that he used to
let his students borrow in class. You know, teachers always
have books in the class. They have their own little
mini library in the back.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, basically lend out books to students who want to
borrow a book.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, this one comes back to them in the mail.
It's got a hand written note in it. The note
is from a former student from forty years ago, wow,
named Brent.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
You know, I was kind of a kind of a
nerd back then. I was interested in math and science
and that kind of stuff, and you know, and so
he had books that, you know, you could students could
check out. Eventually, I moved out to Florida and I
moved all my stuff here and it was still in boxes.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And then he finds this book that he borrowed from
mister Woznik forty years ago.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
I was like, you know, I wonder if I mail
it to him, what would happen? You know, I just
thought it to be kind of funny, like forty years later.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, So this note says, Rod, I found this book.
It belongs to you. Thank you for letting me borrow
it for the last forty years. Sincerely, Brent Gentner isn't
that so funny. Can you imagine being a teacher and
forty years later you hear from a student, you get
one of your books back in the mail.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I'm assuming he'd probably completely forgot about this book. He did,
because I'm sure a lot of books walked away over
the course of his career.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
High school kids. I would imagine most of his books
walked away. So mister Wosnick says, I was more surprised
when I read the note that it said I've had
this for forty years, because he said, you don't realize
how long the time has gone since you've had contact
with that person, like this guy Brent, this student who's
now probably fifty something years old, Like it's been such
(11:21):
a long time. And so he was more excited almost
to hear from Brent than he was to get the
book back. But by the way, this guy Brent is
now a software and electrical engineer in Florida.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So that book worked out well for you.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Totally helped him out. Love it kind of a cool
brighter side though. And again mister Wosnick lives in Lodite
and said he hasn't been able to get in touch
with Brent to say thank you. So hopefully they will
work that out. The more press they get, the more
the story gets out.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You know, it's totally probably gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Be in contact again for sure. And if you have
a brighter side for us where at eight seven seven nine,
eight one oh nine eight one call us anytime. You
can send us a brighter side if you can summarize
it and third seconds or less. You can do that
with our iHeartRadio app and that talkback Mike as well.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But also love you to think about the people in
your life that are going above and beyond because at
this time on Friday, we will be naming a new
Morning Breeze Person of the Week.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, we need to know about those people who are
in your life. It's nice to be able to celebrate
somebody so publicly, you know. And a lot of these
people they're not into like talking about themselves. They just
kind of like to fly under the radar. But it's
nice to celebrate the people that go above and beyond.
So tell us who that person is in your life.
Get that nomination in at ninety eight Onethbreeze dot com.
(12:33):
It's Kimcarnes, Betty Davis I seven twenty six Morning Breeze
with Carolyn and Cord and it is that time of
the morning. It is time for the More you Know,
sponsored by the San Francisco Symphony, Just a little something
to make your day a bit brighter, help you keep
winning those trivia nights, little fun facts that we bring
(12:53):
you to help you out all day, or in this case,
keep you safe from fishing scams. Tell us what is
happening with that?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
All right? So phishing scams again are those emails and
texts that I think we all receive that basically say, hey,
your your your payment didn't go through, click here to
fix it, or hey it's so and so from your bank.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You get them an email, you get them on tax
like you said, and.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
They're basically trying to trick you into clicking some link
or making and sometimes it's make a phone call. But
they're basically trying to get your information and then use it.
Obviously there's still money and still your identity. Well they
have found and this is going to come as a
shock to nobody. But the easiest way to not be
tricked by a phishing scam is to not be busy.
(13:35):
If you check, if you check your email while you're busy,
you are more likely to fall for a phishing scam.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
If you're not paying attention, if you're.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Multitasking, you're doing multiple things, and you see something come
through and you see it, you instantly react to it
because they say that your mental your mental whatever in
your brain, your mental focus is just not quite there
where the alerts don't go off being like, hey, this
is probably not legit where.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You get it and you just go, oh, okay, another thing,
I'll just click on it, and then before you know it,
somebody's taking money out of very exactly right. Oh, you
mentioned this the other day or yesterday off the airror.
Did this happen to you or something?
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I will sometimes get very close to believing an email
or a text. It's typically for me, it's not so
much when I'm busy, because you know me, I'm I'm
not a very busy guy. I'm okay, that's something you
probably don't want to admit on. But when I'm like
when I'm mentally fatigued. So it's the same concept when
your brain is just not as alert as it should be.
(14:37):
So at night, like I'll look at something and typically
when you get something that's saying like a payment didn't
go through, because man, I love to pay bills on time.
It's like one, I don't know why I love it.
Sounds like you have the time for it right all
the time in the world. Yeah, So when I get
an email saying you didn't pay this bill on time,
I'm like, the heck, I didn't, And so I like
instantly want to fix the problem. And that's kind of
(14:59):
where they get you. They they try to find you
at this moment of again mental fatigue and trick you
into clicking a link, and then next thing you know,
your identity has been still.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I think on the flip side, you know that I'm
very busy, so I'm doing a lot of things, and
I could be easily that person just like, oh, I'm
just going to click on this because it's just one
more thing I could check off the list real quickly.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I think the rule of thumb here should be if
you get one of these texts or emails from somebody
saying something is off or you need to take care
of this, and they have some urgency to it, get
rid of just saying, you know what, I'm going to
give this thirty minutes to give us. I'm going to
give this half a day. I may even take a
full day and just find yourself in a different state
of mind. Yeah, and then and then go back to
it and be like, oh, this is a fake because
(15:42):
most super superheros, I want to say, nine times out
of ten, ninety nine percent of the time, it's scam.
It's full on a scam.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
The more you know, we do it every weekday morning
here at seven twenty five on the Morning Breeze and
coming up just over an hour from now eight point
fifty this morning, as you're starting your work day, we
have got you commercial free.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, ninety eight minutes of NonStop, commercial free relaxing favorites,
and we'll do that at eight fifty here on the
Morning Breeze. Hey, Carolyn, I know you're gonna tell us
here in just a minute something embarrassing that you did
yesterday in your neighborhood. But do you think our boss
would be angry if you just played that song again
for Michael McDonald's it's so good. Really enjoyed it. That's
so odd song. I know it is a great song.
(16:22):
Michael McDonald here on ninety eight point one the Breeze.
It's the morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. Eight oh
seven is the time. And now Carolyn is going to
share with us an embarrassing moment. It was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I it was doing some laundry in my garage, and
you know, when it rains, like I don't know when
I do my laundry. When it rains, I like to
have the doors open, like the garage door open, just
because I feel like I need to air everything out.
Otherwise garage gets like musty.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It's very humid in there.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yes, this is not the story, but I was doing
laundry in my garage yesterday. Broadge door's open, barage door
wide open. I was washing my dog perks like blankets
and her dog bed bulky items well with my washer
and probably many other people's washers. When you hit that
spin cycle and you've got bulky items, that washing machine is.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Like boom boom, boom boom off the balance. Yes, yeah,
so I thought to myself self, you're talking about top
top load washer, right, the old school topload. I don't
know what that means. You load from the top. Yeah, okay,
is there another way? The front loads that are the anyway? No,
we'll talk.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Sounds like a separate conversation that's about to take place
off the air, which I really look forward to. No,
I'm top loading my washer, and so I'm anticipating this
spin cycle. So I'm like, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna get out there.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I'm gonna beat this washing machine to the punch, so
I'm ready for the spin cycle this big dog bed.
Sure enough, spin cycle hits boom boom boom. So what
do I do?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I I can't even I don't know. I put my
arms around it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Trying to wrap your arms around your wife.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Lean over the top of it because I'm holding the
washing machine in the spin cycle. But now I'm so
crazy that you know how it spins and then it
stops for a minute, right, and then it spins. So
I'm taking little breaks in between. Oh, I should also
mention I was doing my workout, so I was lifting
weights in between, which is also a good look. I
(18:19):
didn't realize, my goodness, if any of my neighbors drive
by throughout any time in this process, they're going to
see me hugging my washing machine and lifting weights in
the garage, like right.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
In front of the washing machine and think this girl
is crazy. There's that crazy McCardle yep, doing her weird
things in the garage. But you know what, it washed
perfectly and it drained perfectly. Well, you know, life is good.
They My mom taught me this at a very young
age because at a certain point, I think we were
like nine or ten years old. My mom, because there
were so many kids in my family, she said, you're
(18:50):
doing your own laundry. So she taught us how to
load the lawn, the top load laundry. Oh you at
a top load, top load? Interesting, okay, Yeah, And because
you got to distribute the weight properly. It's tough. It's
tough when you've got like one big bulky thing that's
just automatically going to throw things.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I threw some other things in there too. Yeah, my
thing was so I tried to balance that thing out,
But like, is that The right thing to do though,
when you have those bulky items is to like I'm
not saying hug your washing machine, but should you be
holding onto your washing machine.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
My recommendation would have been, if anything, sit on it,
like actually just put your whole body weight on. Just
sit up on top.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Really help hould that thing down. Okay, So that's okay
to do. I wasn't quite sure if that was going
to make it worse.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I don't know if that's okay to do. Oh okay.
My stronger recommendation is for those bulky items, just go
to your local laundromat. They have the big washers there. Oh,
take care of it and not have an issue. Didn't
even think about that. That's what you gotta do. Okay.
Thanks for the tip.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
It's great, good talk.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
We are at eight seven seven nine eight one oh
nine eight one. You can always send us a message
with our iHeartRadio app. We have that talkback mic on
the app, which is very handy because you can send
us a message anytime of the day. As you mentioned
and earlier this morning, you will never get a busy signal.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's right. And if you've got any laundry tips for Carolyn,
a great way for you to send those in and
then help her out in this situation. Again, just look
for that red microphone button at the top as you're
streaming the Breeze, we'll get that message here in the studio.
It's the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court, where we
just learned Carolyn had an issue with her laundry yesterday.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yes, it got unbalanced, so I found myself basically.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Hugging bear, hugging your washing machine.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yes, and court suggested that we ask people for laundry tips. Yes,
Linda and san ramon good morning.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
So what I do when it goes off balance, just
open the lid. The laundry will stop, and then could
see where the weight is incorrectly balanced and then fix it,
and then it goes back perfect. Then there's no more bang.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Rebalance it. That's a good idea. I love that we've
got laundry talk happening on the morning breeze.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
These are important thing.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
We at bottom.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
No, this is our peak. I mean, this is what
matters in life. Everybody does laundry.
The Morning Breeze. The Morning Breeze on demand. This music
for Madonna at six seventeen. Here on ninety eight point
one The Breeze. You've got the Morning Breeze with Carolyn
and Corden. It's that time of the morning where we
like to help reduce stress because you know, learning trivia
and exercising your brain is a relaxing escape from the world.
(00:21):
I agree. I'm trying to make the Morning Breeze Brain
tea sound way more important than it is. It is
very important, it certainly is. It's sponsored by Mike Counsel Plumbing.
You're in clean hands with Mike Council Plumbing. Visit them
at mc plumbing dot com. All right, I like today's question.
This is a fun one. Yeah. You would normally consider
this a childhood activity, but it actually has a national
association and four major competitions in the United States every year.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Okay, we're at eight seven seven nine, eight one nine
eight one. Sue in Santa Rosica morning. What is your
guest for this one?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Hopscotch, Hopscotch. I remember Hopscotch Jackick. All of us probably
had the little squares on the playground.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, and it was never you that drew the squares
like they were either there from the school some other
kid had drawn them in chalk and they were like
kind of faded.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But yeah, hopscotch. I think is a really great answer.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, definitely a childhood favorite.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
For sure, but it's not the correct one today.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Okay, Sue, make it a good day, thanks for calling.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
All right, I, Carly and Alamito, what do you think
the answer is?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Blowing bubbles with your gum?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Bubbles with your gum.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I don't know, I know, so good, yeah, such, it
so makes sense because there's like a legit national competition
for everything.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
So why not that, I'll bet you. I don't know offhand,
but I would bet you there's at least one of those.
I'm now sorry, We're going to do the research in
the moment, Carly Blowing Gum.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
National Bubble Gum Blowing Championship Qualifiers to twenty seven in Trenton, Michigan.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
All right, we all know there had to be one
of these.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
That is hilarious. I can tell you that this does
say subscribe to ESPN plus. Oh yes, well on ESPN,
you guys.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
ESPN shows everything that's sport related these days.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
No, but come on, yeah, come on, yeah, that's funny.
I really love that answer, me too, Carly, but I
want it to be right, but it's not right. Ah, Harley,
what's the answer.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
The correct answer is there are four major competitions in
the United States every year for stone skipping.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Oh that's right up the alley with bubblegum blowing.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
No, it's it's again. It's considered a childhood activity, but
there's actually an association, a national association for it, and
major competitions, in this case, four of them around the
United States.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I could see that.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So the question is when is the last time you
went stone skipping?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Probably like when we went camping, like a year ago.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That's a solid camping art, Daryln. You were just around
a lake last weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I know they were skipping acorns in the lake.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh wow, lots of talent. I know. Oh I thought
so too.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Anyway, all right, Carly, we'll have a good day. It
was great to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Take care by bye.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The visual of skipping stones like makes me want to
go out skip stones.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And there's a technique too. That's why I was so
surprised about the acorns is because a good rock stone
for skipping as it flaps, but it's flat.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, the acorns, in all fairness, they were skipping them
off the dock and into the lake.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So they were getting that first bounce off the dock.
That might makes a difference if in case you're wondering
the current the current champion for stone skipping in the
United States, he's a guy by the name of John Jennings,
and he's probably going to be the champion for a
long time because not only is he the current US champion,
but he holds the Guinness World Record for the most
stone skips on a lake. Guess how many one hundred
(03:51):
close eighty eight eighty eight skips does that.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Mean in a row? John Jennings skipped these.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, one stone skipped eighty eight times across the lake.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I feel like his name does sound like a stone
skipper name. He's the stoning skipper, stone skipper.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Wow. That's quite a competition though.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
All Right, we're at eight seven seven, nine, eight one

Good morning.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Breeze with Carolyn and Court. We do it every weekday
morning at this time at six point forty. It is
ask us anything. You can call us up and ask
us anything about the show, about our lives, just a
random question. We've been getting a lot of I'm gonna
call him Hodgepodge questions lately.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Hodgepodge. They are your question. Could be calling into the
show and say, Okay, Carolyn, what does Hodgepodge mean? Are
you serious? I'm just saying I'm just giving that as
an example of the variety of questions you can call
in and ask.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It could be that sure, Court, it could be that
we're an eight seven seven nine nine eight one.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Any question goes all right, Allison in Menlo Park, ask
us anything.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
My question is a lot of times people have a
memory associated with a song. My husband has a specific,
really good memory associated with a song, and every time
he hears that song, you go straight back to that memory.
Either of you have something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh wow, great question.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
And what's the song and what's the memory?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
For me? The instant thing that comes to mind is
when I was in high school, my best friend Ben
and I were traveling to a high school basketball game
that was out in the middle of nowhere in Utah.
This is where that's where I grew up. And on
the road trip that we took, Ram's Shiny Happy People
came on the radio. I love that song, and I
(05:59):
just remember cruising down the road singing along to it,
and for some reason it just sticks out in my mind,
and it's actually he and I think of it as
our song. It's our song between the two of us. Okay,
that's really cute.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Court, Yeah, all right, Allison, So what about you buy
the pool?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
With my friends in high school Howard Junks?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Which which song the one which you can dip.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Your foot in the pool but you can't have a swim?
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
No, one is to blame. Great song, great memory.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
My friend, my friend from high school Loveward Junk.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You can't go wrong with a little hojo, That's what
we called him in my high school. I'm sure he
would love that. Sure he would too. I don't think
he would.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Love that, okay.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Also on the bus with my friends in band.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
On a discmand Oh my gosh, a discman, the walkman
of CD players.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
They let me listen to Madonna while you play chess.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Another one where you remember where you were? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, Allison, that was great and such a fun trip
down memory lane. Thank you for calling and thanks for
the great question. You guys have a great morning, you too.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Okay, Carolyn, we didn't get your answer.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
What oh?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
What song instantly brings memories when you hear it?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I think Lionel Ritchie's Hello, because that was the song
that was playing at the dance in middle school when
I was hoping. Robert Chung would ask me to dance,
and it became like our song even though we had
no interest to me and made it our song. Hello
Robert Chung? Is it me you're looking for? I can
see you in my eyes, I could see you in
my smile.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I did eat and he did ask you to dance. No,
oh no, So I've hung onto that song a lot
of years. Wow, So I thought that these were memories?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well yeah, no, okay, So will to power baby? I
love your way that is another one that brings back memories.
I brought our neighbor Keith, who is my brother's best friend.
He's like family to us now, to a work party
in the eighties, and I don't think he wanted to
be there either.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
All Right, we need to work on your nostalgic memories here, Karen. Yeah,
this question really took a sharp write. Yeah. Anyway, thank
you Allison for calling in and asking though we appreciate it.
It's always great to think back because it is one
of those things you hear a song and the memories
just come back.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
They do, they do. And we have so many songs
like that on our radio station that we play, and
we hear that from a lot of people, like these
relaxing favorites that you just grew up listening to and
they have special moments for you in your life. All Right,
We're at eight seven seven nine eight one, nine eight one.
It's aska setting thing. We do it every weekday morning
at six forty and you can call us anytime, and
you can send us a message with our iHeartRadio app
(08:41):
anytime with a question.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We have people do that. Yeah, you will never ever
ever get a busy signal when you use the app,
just look for the red microphone button while you're streaming
the Breeze, that message will show up here in the studio.
It's the Culture Club here on ninety eight point one
The Breeze, The Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. Seven
six is the time and it's time for the bread
Side sponsored by streaming company Luxury time Pieces Find designers
(09:03):
and flawless designers diamonds. Let me start that over. Take
two sponsored by Shreven Company, Luxury time Pieces find designers
and flawless diamonds. There it is nailed it. Briarside is
the time where we celebrate the moments in life that
make you happy, whether it's at work, at home, whatever,
(09:24):
wherever you go in life. We want you to share
your briderside. Call us at eight seven seven nine eight
one nine eight one, or use the talkback feature on
our free iHeartRadio app. Yeah, this is a happy story
out of load I for sure. There's a retired teacher
from lod Eye. His name is Rod Woznik. He goes
to his mailbox the other day. There's a package in
the mail. It's got a book in it. He opens
(09:45):
this package. It's a geometry book that he used to
let his students borrow in class. You know, teachers always
have books in the class. They have their own little
mini library in the back.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, basically lend out books to students who want to
borrow a book.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, this one comes back to them in the mail.
It's got a hand written note in it. The note
is from a former student from forty years ago, wow,
named Brent.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
You know, I was kind of a kind of a
nerd back then. I was interested in math and science
and that kind of stuff, and you know, and so
he had books that, you know, you could students could
check out. Eventually, I moved out to Florida and I
moved all my stuff here and it was still in boxes.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And then he finds this book that he borrowed from
mister Woznik forty years ago.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
I was like, you know, I wonder if I mail
it to him, what would happen? You know, I just
thought it to be kind of funny, like forty years later.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, So this note says, Rod, I found this book.
It belongs to you. Thank you for letting me borrow
it for the last forty years. Sincerely, Brent Gentner isn't
that so funny. Can you imagine being a teacher and
forty years later you hear from a student, you get
one of your books back in the mail.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I'm assuming he'd probably completely forgot about this book. He did,
because I'm sure a lot of books walked away over
the course of his career.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
High school kids. I would imagine most of his books
walked away. So mister Wosnick says, I was more surprised
when I read the note that it said I've had
this for forty years, because he said, you don't realize
how long the time has gone since you've had contact
with that person, like this guy Brent, this student who's
now probably fifty something years old, Like it's been such
(11:21):
a long time. And so he was more excited almost
to hear from Brent than he was to get the
book back. But by the way, this guy Brent is
now a software and electrical engineer in Florida.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So that book worked out well for you.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Totally helped him out. Love it kind of a cool
brighter side though. And again mister Wosnick lives in Lodite
and said he hasn't been able to get in touch
with Brent to say thank you. So hopefully they will
work that out. The more press they get, the more
the story gets out.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You know, it's totally probably gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Be in contact again for sure. And if you have
a brighter side for us where at eight seven seven nine,
eight one oh nine eight one call us anytime. You
can send us a brighter side if you can summarize
it and third seconds or less. You can do that
with our iHeartRadio app and that talkback Mike as well.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But also love you to think about the people in
your life that are going above and beyond because at
this time on Friday, we will be naming a new
Morning Breeze Person of the Week.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, we need to know about those people who are
in your life. It's nice to be able to celebrate
somebody so publicly, you know. And a lot of these
people they're not into like talking about themselves. They just
kind of like to fly under the radar. But it's
nice to celebrate the people that go above and beyond.
So tell us who that person is in your life.
Get that nomination in at ninety eight Onethbreeze dot com.
(12:33):
It's Kimcarnes, Betty Davis I seven twenty six Morning Breeze
with Carolyn and Cord and it is that time of
the morning. It is time for the More you Know,
sponsored by the San Francisco Symphony, Just a little something
to make your day a bit brighter, help you keep
winning those trivia nights, little fun facts that we bring
(12:53):
you to help you out all day, or in this case,
keep you safe from fishing scams. Tell us what is
happening with that?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
All right? So phishing scams again are those emails and
texts that I think we all receive that basically say, hey,
your your your payment didn't go through, click here to
fix it, or hey it's so and so from your bank.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You get them an email, you get them on tax
like you said, and.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
They're basically trying to trick you into clicking some link
or making and sometimes it's make a phone call. But
they're basically trying to get your information and then use it.
Obviously there's still money and still your identity. Well they
have found and this is going to come as a
shock to nobody. But the easiest way to not be
tricked by a phishing scam is to not be busy.
(13:35):
If you check, if you check your email while you're busy,
you are more likely to fall for a phishing scam.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
If you're not paying attention, if you're.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Multitasking, you're doing multiple things, and you see something come
through and you see it, you instantly react to it
because they say that your mental your mental whatever in
your brain, your mental focus is just not quite there
where the alerts don't go off being like, hey, this
is probably not legit where.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You get it and you just go, oh, okay, another thing,
I'll just click on it, and then before you know it,
somebody's taking money out of very exactly right. Oh, you
mentioned this the other day or yesterday off the airror.
Did this happen to you or something?
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I will sometimes get very close to believing an email
or a text. It's typically for me, it's not so
much when I'm busy, because you know me, I'm I'm
not a very busy guy. I'm okay, that's something you
probably don't want to admit on. But when I'm like
when I'm mentally fatigued. So it's the same concept when
your brain is just not as alert as it should be.
(14:37):
So at night, like I'll look at something and typically
when you get something that's saying like a payment didn't
go through, because man, I love to pay bills on time.
It's like one, I don't know why I love it.
Sounds like you have the time for it right all
the time in the world. Yeah, So when I get
an email saying you didn't pay this bill on time,
I'm like, the heck, I didn't, And so I like
instantly want to fix the problem. And that's kind of
(14:59):
where they get you. They they try to find you
at this moment of again mental fatigue and trick you
into clicking a link, and then next thing you know,
your identity has been still.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I think on the flip side, you know that I'm
very busy, so I'm doing a lot of things, and
I could be easily that person just like, oh, I'm
just going to click on this because it's just one
more thing I could check off the list real quickly.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I think the rule of thumb here should be if
you get one of these texts or emails from somebody
saying something is off or you need to take care
of this, and they have some urgency to it, get
rid of just saying, you know what, I'm going to
give this thirty minutes to give us. I'm going to
give this half a day. I may even take a
full day and just find yourself in a different state
of mind. Yeah, and then and then go back to
it and be like, oh, this is a fake because
(15:42):
most super superheros, I want to say, nine times out
of ten, ninety nine percent of the time, it's scam.
It's full on a scam.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
The more you know, we do it every weekday morning
here at seven twenty five on the Morning Breeze and
coming up just over an hour from now eight point
fifty this morning, as you're starting your work day, we
have got you commercial free.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, ninety eight minutes of NonStop, commercial free relaxing favorites,
and we'll do that at eight fifty here on the
Morning Breeze. Hey, Carolyn, I know you're gonna tell us
here in just a minute something embarrassing that you did
yesterday in your neighborhood. But do you think our boss
would be angry if you just played that song again
for Michael McDonald's it's so good. Really enjoyed it. That's
so odd song. I know it is a great song.
(16:22):
Michael McDonald here on ninety eight point one the Breeze.
It's the morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. Eight oh
seven is the time. And now Carolyn is going to
share with us an embarrassing moment. It was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I it was doing some laundry in my garage, and
you know, when it rains, like I don't know when
I do my laundry. When it rains, I like to
have the doors open, like the garage door open, just
because I feel like I need to air everything out.
Otherwise garage gets like musty.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It's very humid in there.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yes, this is not the story, but I was doing
laundry in my garage yesterday. Broadge door's open, barage door
wide open. I was washing my dog perks like blankets
and her dog bed bulky items well with my washer
and probably many other people's washers. When you hit that
spin cycle and you've got bulky items, that washing machine is.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Like boom boom, boom boom off the balance. Yes, yeah,
so I thought to myself self, you're talking about top
top load washer, right, the old school topload. I don't
know what that means. You load from the top. Yeah, okay,
is there another way? The front loads that are the anyway? No,
we'll talk.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Sounds like a separate conversation that's about to take place
off the air, which I really look forward to. No,
I'm top loading my washer, and so I'm anticipating this
spin cycle. So I'm like, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna get out there.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I'm gonna beat this washing machine to the punch, so
I'm ready for the spin cycle this big dog bed.
Sure enough, spin cycle hits boom boom boom. So what
do I do?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I I can't even I don't know. I put my
arms around it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Trying to wrap your arms around your wife.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Lean over the top of it because I'm holding the
washing machine in the spin cycle. But now I'm so
crazy that you know how it spins and then it
stops for a minute, right, and then it spins. So
I'm taking little breaks in between. Oh, I should also
mention I was doing my workout, so I was lifting
weights in between, which is also a good look. I
(18:19):
didn't realize, my goodness, if any of my neighbors drive
by throughout any time in this process, they're going to
see me hugging my washing machine and lifting weights in
the garage, like right.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
In front of the washing machine and think this girl
is crazy. There's that crazy McCardle yep, doing her weird
things in the garage. But you know what, it washed
perfectly and it drained perfectly. Well, you know, life is good.
They My mom taught me this at a very young
age because at a certain point, I think we were
like nine or ten years old. My mom, because there
were so many kids in my family, she said, you're
(18:50):
doing your own laundry. So she taught us how to
load the lawn, the top load laundry. Oh you at
a top load, top load? Interesting, okay, Yeah, And because
you got to distribute the weight properly. It's tough. It's
tough when you've got like one big bulky thing that's
just automatically going to throw things.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I threw some other things in there too. Yeah, my
thing was so I tried to balance that thing out,
But like, is that The right thing to do though,
when you have those bulky items is to like I'm
not saying hug your washing machine, but should you be
holding onto your washing machine.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
My recommendation would have been, if anything, sit on it,
like actually just put your whole body weight on. Just
sit up on top.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Really help hould that thing down. Okay, So that's okay
to do. I wasn't quite sure if that was going
to make it worse.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I don't know if that's okay to do. Oh okay.
My stronger recommendation is for those bulky items, just go
to your local laundromat. They have the big washers there. Oh,
take care of it and not have an issue. Didn't
even think about that. That's what you gotta do. Okay.
Thanks for the tip.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
It's great, good talk.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
We are at eight seven seven nine eight one oh
nine eight one. You can always send us a message
with our iHeartRadio app. We have that talkback mic on
the app, which is very handy because you can send
us a message anytime of the day. As you mentioned
and earlier this morning, you will never get a busy signal.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's right. And if you've got any laundry tips for Carolyn,
a great way for you to send those in and
then help her out in this situation. Again, just look
for that red microphone button at the top as you're
streaming the Breeze, we'll get that message here in the studio.
It's the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court, where we
just learned Carolyn had an issue with her laundry yesterday.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yes, it got unbalanced, so I found myself basically.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Hugging bear, hugging your washing machine.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yes, and court suggested that we ask people for laundry tips. Yes,
Linda and san ramon good morning.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
So what I do when it goes off balance, just
open the lid. The laundry will stop, and then could
see where the weight is incorrectly balanced and then fix it,
and then it goes back perfect. Then there's no more bang.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Rebalance it. That's a good idea. I love that we've
got laundry talk happening on the morning breeze.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
These are important thing.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
We at bottom.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
No, this is our peak. I mean, this is what
matters in life. Everybody does laundry.
