The Morning Breeze, Morning Breeze on demand ROBERTA.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Flack at six point twenty here on ninety eight point
one the Breeze. You've got the Morning Breeze with Carolyn
and Court and it's time now for the Morning Breeze
Brain Teas. I think of it.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
As a public service announcement. You do well? No, no announce
would you do well? Because trivia is good for the brain. Sure,
it has been proven that by learning new facts, it
strengthens your long term memory. It allows your brain to absorb, categorize,
and retain knowledge more efficiently. This is quite a lesson
we are getting on a Tuesday morning.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Also very entertaining. Okay, Breeze Brain Teas sponsored by Mike
Counsel Plumbing. You're in clean hands with Mike Council Plumbing.
Visit at an mc plumbing dot com. Today's question. It's
believed this toy was invented somewhere around five hundred BC. Okay,
but you can still buy one today for about five dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's a little trip down memory lane. Let's see what
it is. Eight seven seven nine eight one nine eight one.
That is how you reach us with your guesses. Raleigh
in Nevado, Good morning. What do you think the answer is? Marble?
Oh yeah, marbles, Oh, marbles. I remember marbles.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Maybe they were round rocks back then.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But you know, a good guess not the correct answer. Okay,
well that's okay. I've gotten a few of them right
when I was listening and shouting at.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
My radio phone.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
That's how well we appreciate you. Thank you for calling,
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
You're welcome. I love you guys. Every morning. You get
me going.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I have a great day, so sweet. All right, Nancy
in Milpitis, what do you think The answer is a
ball in paddle You know that? I remember those that
rubber that pink rubber ball that you tried to It
was on the rubber band kind of like it's kind
of ping pongy, but ball is attached to the call.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Those I'm not sure call it ba oh.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
A paddle ball? I yes, I do remember that. So
was that the answer?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Paddleball is not the answer. The answer is the yo yo,
which apparently was invented around five hundred BC.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
That was my first thought, a yo yo, And I thought, no,
yoyo's weren't invented five hundred BC.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Apparently, they were.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well, that was my absolute first thought though.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I used to be really good at the yo yo.
I used to enter the yo.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yo contest when they had him every year at our
Creation department. And I can't bought the dog and the
cradle at the cradle.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
My gosh, you guys are such yo yo enthusiasts. I
had no idea. Well, Nancy can do it. I just
know the terms. Yeah, there is a big difference. Think
about how that was entertaining for us. Oh yeah, actually crazy.
I used the yoyo for the first time about two
weeks ago. It came flooding back all the memories. Oh,
(03:00):
all right, guys, have a freak day.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You too, You know, you hit on it, Carolyn. But
back in the day, you would tune in to like
the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and he would have
a guy on that would do the yo yo.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, just do yoyo tricks, and you'd watch, just fascinated.
It's so funny how such simple toys back in the
day we're so entertaining for hours on end. And when
we were talking about the ball and paddle, I was thinking, man,
those were fun. I remember how excited you get you'd
be like whoa, You'd unwrap it and be like, WHOA
A ball and paddle. Let me see you keep the
(03:34):
ball in the paddle and blu you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Every year for Easter, the Easter Bunny used to always
bring all my siblings.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
We would get yoyo's. It's such an Easter Bunny every
single every single year. Thank you Easter Bunny. I know
those were the days that makes me miss the simple
things in life. Everything today is so complicated. Sure as
she sounds like an old lady, We're at eight seven
seven nine eight one nine eight one. Reach us with
that phone number for anything but certain on the morning
Breeze brain teas, which we do every weekday morning here
(04:03):
at six twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
And also a reminder, today is a Tuesday, which means
it's a talkback Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes, we welcome your talkbacks with our iHeartRadio app. There
is a little red microphone button right in the top
right hand corner of our app while you're listening to
the Breeze and it's very easy to send us a
message with that microphone.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, so if you have yet to participate today again,
talk back Tuesday would be a great day for you
to do. It download in your app store or at
ninety eight one The Breeze dot com at Earthdrees.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's Nellie Furtado six thirty nine. Good morning. It is
the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. And yes it
is Tuesday, although it feels like a Monday. I think
a lot of people today are going to be making
that mistake. I came in I wrote down on my
piece of paper Monday with an explanation, exploit air, exclamation,
exclamation point. Did you sleep at all last night? I
sure did.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm so excited though, to come in today it being
a not Monday, but I wrote Monday down. I'm like,
oh man, this already off to a bedstort. I know
when you have to write it down, you know it's
going to be tough.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Anyway, it is Carolyn and Court here on the Morning
Breeze and it is time for the More, you know.
We do it every weekday morning at this time this morning,
Court is bringing us a financial the More, you know.
So I'm excited to learn something from Court. Yeah, it's
a new money trend and it's happening for a lot
of different reasons which I'll get into. But it's called
(05:25):
the no spend challenge. You're familiar with this, Oh it's
a challenge. No.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, you're basically committing to spending money on nothing but
essentials for a period of time. And the trend has
basically been a month one month, you only buy the
groceries you need, just the bear essentials for groceries, housing
expenses like rent or mortgage, You pay the bills, gas
for your vehicle, and that is it. So no uber
(05:52):
eats in there anywhere, nothing extra. So if you got
Starbucks out the.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Door, oh well I'm out. It's just the bare minimum
for you to survive as a human or maybe as
a family, get us for a month, So that would
mean you're not going out and doing anything. No movies, correct,
no taking the kids. Can't do it. Don't even finish
that sentence. This sounds like a trend that I'm not interested.
(06:21):
It's it's pretty tough. It's interesting though, when you think
about not spending money like in your own life, you
realize how much you spend outside of the essential. And
that's why they say this is working.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And again the benefits that I hinted towards, it's some
do it as part of a financial reset as a
way to help cleanse. Yeah, help to pay down debt.
So you take all the money you're not spending, you
put it to pay down bet debt or to accelerate savings. Yeah,
because you know you like to have some savings.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The holidays are just around the corner. It's a good time.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Another reason why people are like, okay, yeah, Christmas is
just around the door or around the corner.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
So we got to figure this out. Maybe a vacation
is on the coming up that you want to have
some money for, so you can basically accelerate your savings
for that. This is so interesting. I kind of like this. Now,
experts say you should.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Not do this, like long term, this isn't just a
way to live life, and that just won't be happy.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, you need to get out and have some fun
once in a while, but you can start for like
one week and then if you feel like you're doing okay,
maybe take it up to two weeks eventually a month.
I don't think I could do it. I was going
to suggest you and I do it, but I want
a Starbucks today so bad, and I don't think I could.
That's such first world problems, right, but it checks you though,
(07:38):
I check you.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
If you well, if you want Starbucks today, that's fine. No,
but I say next next Monday. Just say next Monday.
I'm gonna do without. I'm going to try it for
a week.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I'm out. But think of all the money I know.
All right, it's some more, you know, very interesting. We
do it every weekday morning at six forty here on
the breeze. Coming up this morning at eight point fifty.
Set your mental alarm or an actual alarm. We're going
to be commercial free. We do it every weekday morning
at that time.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, ninety eight minutes of NonStop, commercial free, relaxing favorites,
helping you start your workday. And we'll kick that off
at eight point fifty here on the morning breeze.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
The area Tuesday a chance of dry lightning in some areas,
otherwise a mix of sun clouds and afternoon gusty winds
highs upper sixties to low nineties.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Seven oh seven is the time with Ace of Base
here on ninety eight point one the breeze. You've got
the morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and it is
time for the brider Side sponsored by Shriving Company, Luxury
time Pieces, fine designers and flawless Diamonds. This is the
portion of the show where we try to be positive
all the time. Sure, obviously yes, but it's like super
concentrated where we share the good and positive things happening
(08:46):
in our lives or in your life, which is where
we would love for you to participate. Eight seven, seven,
nine eighty one oh nine eight one. All sorts of
things qualify for the Brider side.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, we've had people send us talkbacks as well with
our iHeartRadio apps, so that's an option if you're on
the go, as they say, yeah, send us a quick
message with our app. We were saying a couple of
minutes ago, we hope you certainly had a great weekend.
A lot of people had a long holiday weekend, but
it was especially good for two people in the Bay Area,
oh Man, who are now one point one six million
(09:16):
dollars richer. They played the one billion dollar powerball jackpot
on Saturday night and missed it by one number one
number one number of these two, but they each won
one point six million. One of those tickets was sold
in Milpitis at seven eleven on Clearlke. The other one
was sold at a mobile gas station in Pleasant Hill,
(09:39):
I think I know that gas station too. Yeah, I mean,
can you imagine? I was so cool.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I was so surprised because I had heard two people
in California, Yeah, had hit all the numbers but one,
and then both of those people live here.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
In the Bay Area. Now, whenever I see California, I
always think it's gonna be like Fresno or you know, La,
so I never picture Bay Area. So to see both,
like you said, and here. Yeah, so they are each
one point six one point one six million dollars richer.
They have yet to come forward because this was last
night's drawing, so this just barely happened. No, this was
(10:14):
Saturday's drawing when they won the one point one six Okay, gotcha?
Now rolled. There was a drawing last last night which
no one wants. I mean, there were four winners that
got whatever. But now it's rolling again. We've got one
point three billion for tomorrow's drive.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'm going to make a prediction, Okay, I'll bet you
tomorrow's drawing is probably going to be closer to one
point four or one point five billion, because when it
reaches this point, everybody goes and buys a.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Ticket, including yours. Truly are you going to I'm going
to buy today, okay, and then he may not see
you here on We're at work on Thursday. Whoa, that's
so okay, fine, I'll come in if you one Would
you come to work for real? I will be honest,
I would. I would, yes, because we do the show
together and I like you. You're my friend, and I
(11:07):
wouldn't want to leave you hanging. Would you come the
following day? Probably not, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I would come in that one day, get my affairs
in order, make make sure everything was good.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Maybe you know, would you really not work anymore if
you won the lottery? I feel like you like what
you do. I love I love what I do. I
would I would have a very hard hard.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Time walking away from this job, even if I had
one point four billion dollars sitting in my bank account.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I know, thanks for asking. I would probably, Well, are
you going to play? I didn't want to know, so
you've then, But if if you were to play, if
I were to play, yeah, what would happen? If I
were to win, I would still come in. Of course.
I can't imagine not doing this job. We have the
greatest job in the world. It's not even a job,
it's a hobby. It's exactly right. Yeah. I love that
(11:54):
we're fantasizing about what we would do and there's no
chance we're gonna win. But good luck to you, Court,
I've already spent the money. Oh okay, perfect, perfect, Yeah.
So the jackpot for tomorrow is ranks among the fifth
largest in power ball game and then history, and the
ninth largest among US lottery jackpot games.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's a big ee oh oh yeah. Like I said,
this is where more people start participating than usual. So
jackpot is going to get bigger and bigger.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, so good luck everybody, all right, brighter side. We
do it every weekday morning, just after seven o'clock, and
as Court mentioned a couple of minutes ago, we welcome
your brighter sides eight seven, seven nine, eight one oh
nine eight one.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Something else we do happens at seven twenty five, which
is ask us anything that same number pertains here eight
seven seven nine eight nine eight one because we need
your questions. You ask a question, we try to answer it.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, anything goes, whether it's something about the show or
you just need our opinion on something, whatever the case
may be. Sky's the limit. There is no question two
big or small. So give us a call, let us
know what your question is and we will answer it
on ask Us Anything, coming up seven to twenty five
here on the Morning it's seven twenty seven the Righteous
Brothers on the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. We're
(13:06):
gonna get right into it. It's ask us Anything. We
do it every weekday morning at this time, love hearing
your questions where we answer literally anything that you ask
us eight seven seven nine one, nine eight one. You
can always send us a talk back with our iHeartRadio app.
All right, Adele and Milbray, ask us anything.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So this is a scenario. Okay, let's say that around
nine pm you're out of milk for your little toddler. Yes,
so you go quickly to the grocery store and you're
a case wait and there's only one checkout stand and
the line is long and I'm talking about at least
(13:48):
twenty minutes to wait in line, wow, for just one
gallon of milk. So what would you do in that scenario?
Would you pull out ten dollars at the empty checkout
stand and say here is for milk that I'm getting
and you know, leave, or would you wait in line,
(14:10):
wait at out, and then your two year old start
screaming whining, right, the line's too long and.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It's past that time. Well, first of all, this sounds
like the worst scenario I've ever heard in my entire life.
Like I can't even imagine. I would probably go to
like I would leave and go to an AMPM or
a corner gas station that has milk where I just
get enough for that night. That's what I would do.
What would you do for it? That was actually gonna
(14:38):
be my suggestion.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I know that wasn't an option Atdell, but it would
be the third option, which because I I my first
job was working at a convenience store and we sold
more milk than anything else in the store. Oh really,
because just how convenient it was to pop in and pop.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Out and grab milk. I feel like if he tried
to leave the ten dollars that they would say, you
can't do that, so you're not gonna have it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
But I did say that. That's what I did, though,
I grabbed another milk to the same one that was
actually getting and I'm like, I'm not gonna sit through
this line. I'm just getting one item. Here's ten dollars
keep the change I'm leaving, and then the cashiers like
you can't do that. I'm like, well I just did.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah. Wow, Yeah, that has got to be so frustrating,
especially when you have a crying to your arm. I'm
kind of okay with this answer. I know it's it's
I know probably business owners would in front.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Of stop lifting, right because I did pay for it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And you overpaid for it. Yeah, you tipped.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I've walked into stores before and saw the checkout lines
being super long and just walked out because I'm like,
I don't even want to deal with that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
But I know you didn't have that option.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And if I did leave the milk and walk out,
Jacob would have screamed even more because that's what he wanted. Yeah,
so I had to like leave the store with the milk,
so you see, like calm down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Understandable, Yeah, understandable. That's a good question though, Thank you guys.
That's exactly how ask us anything works, and that's a
great example. It could be a scenario that you bring
us that you just want your opinion on, like, well,
would you have done in this situation exactly?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
And you can participate as well eight seven, seven, nine
eight one, nine eight one Steve Perry at eight ten
here on ninety eight point one The Breeze. You've got
the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So something happened this morning before I left for work. Court.
That was kind of scary, but then I also felt
like you ever catch yourself and you feel like you're
turning into the crazy person that you don't want to be. Like,
there's always like you've got a crazy person living on
your street, and you're like, I just became that crazy person.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's basically if you can't if you can't identify the
crazy person on your street, you are the trade.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And today it was me. So I woke up this morning.
I always take Perk out for quick walk before we
had to work. We're coming back from the walk and
we were right next to my house and I live
along a street. So I'm on the street and there's
your house. Well, no, there's the fence and some bushes
coming over the fence or trees, and all of a sudden,
I hear this huge russell Russell Russell. Ah, is it
(17:13):
the the raccoons? The raccoons are back? Yeah, And I've
had issues with raccoons. My whole neighborhood does. They're coming.
They're tearing up the lawn. They're looking for the grubs.
It's that time of year. So I hear the russell.
Of course, Perk is freaking out, so I get her
in the house. I have to do that immediately, right,
So I put her in the house, and I now
(17:34):
coming back out to put my car outside because it's
so warm this morning. We had the lightning going off
and the whole nine it was just a weird morning.
So I put my car outside to air it out,
and I look when I walk out onto my porch,
and that what I'm assuming is the same raccoon is
now on top of my fence, just staring at me
on the porch. So here's where the crazy person comes in.
(17:57):
I do one of these yeah here, but I'm trying
to keep it quiet because and it just stares at me.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And I was like, oh, so you're trying to shoe
off the raccoon the raccoon and not make any noise,
but also.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Kind of scare it and get it. It is staring
at me, and I'm like, uh, oh, it's mad at me.
So then I thought, well, game on. So I opened
my garage door and I grab a flip flop because
that's what I see first, and I fake to throw
it and the thing doesn't budge, not even a flinch Nope.
So I'm like, okay, So I now throw the flip flop,
(18:34):
not to hit it, just to scare it away in
the fence, in the general area the fence. It bounces
off the fence and lands on my sidewalk, and the
raccoon looks down at the flip flop and then stares
at me again, and I'm like, uh oh again. The
raccoon did not react other than just watching the honey badger,
didn't give a you know what. He just sat up
(18:57):
there on the fence. And now my flip flop is
laying on the sidewalk and I can't get to it
because the security guard raccoon is at the top of
the fence. Right now, I'm really feeling nuts, so I
figure I'm going to back my car out and that'll
scare it. Lights the sound of the engine, back it out,
get out of the car, peek around the corner. It's
just sitting there staring at me. I'm like, am I
(19:18):
going to be able to get in my house now. Plus,
let's not forget I've got a flip flop sitting on
the sidewalks. The raccoon's just waiting for you, leap. Huh.
So I got out of the car, went the garage,
peeked around the corner from the garage to the porch,
and it was gone. But now I'm too afraid to
go out and give my flip flops. You have no
idea where that raccoon has gone. What if he's on
(19:38):
the sidewalk hiding around the corner and I'm about to
come to work with brabies of course, right, yeah, So
all that inside, I left the flip flopper a little bit,
went in the house and Perk was at the back
door looking out in the yard, and I thought, well,
that's where he went, because she was on it. So
I went out again later and got my flip flops,
and here we are work today. So it was a
(19:59):
very eventful. But I did realize, I'm going to be
honest to say, very early on in that story and
in that happening today, I felt nuts. I felt like
a crazy person, and I thought I finally become the
lady that lives on the corner.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Is there any chance that the you have a security camera, Yeah, yeah,
any chance that your security camera picked up.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Any of this? No, because of maybe say a coworker
to watch and enjoy. Luckily, it's not okay, Now I
get on that. I gotta get on that too, And
I'm frankly in this case glad that it's not working.
We have had a.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Lot of great Breeze listeners right in before or even
call in and giving you ideas on how to rid
yourself of the raccoon problem.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
These raccoons are so aggressive, tearing up lawns and I
don't know, chasing down flip flops, so I don't I
don't know, not caring at all. He did not care.
So anyway, we're at eight seven seven nine eight one.

The Morning Breeze, Morning Breeze on demand ROBERTA.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Flack at six point twenty here on ninety eight point
one the Breeze. You've got the Morning Breeze with Carolyn
and Court and it's time now for the Morning Breeze
Brain Teas. I think of it.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
As a public service announcement. You do well? No, no announce
would you do well? Because trivia is good for the brain. Sure,
it has been proven that by learning new facts, it
strengthens your long term memory. It allows your brain to absorb, categorize,
and retain knowledge more efficiently. This is quite a lesson
we are getting on a Tuesday morning.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Also very entertaining. Okay, Breeze Brain Teas sponsored by Mike
Counsel Plumbing. You're in clean hands with Mike Council Plumbing.
Visit at an mc plumbing dot com. Today's question. It's
believed this toy was invented somewhere around five hundred BC. Okay,
but you can still buy one today for about five dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's a little trip down memory lane. Let's see what
it is. Eight seven seven nine eight one nine eight one.
That is how you reach us with your guesses. Raleigh
in Nevado, Good morning. What do you think the answer is? Marble?
Oh yeah, marbles, Oh, marbles. I remember marbles.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Maybe they were round rocks back then.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But you know, a good guess not the correct answer. Okay,
well that's okay. I've gotten a few of them right
when I was listening and shouting at.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
My radio phone.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
That's how well we appreciate you. Thank you for calling,
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
You're welcome. I love you guys. Every morning. You get
me going.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I have a great day, so sweet. All right, Nancy
in Milpitis, what do you think The answer is a
ball in paddle You know that? I remember those that
rubber that pink rubber ball that you tried to It
was on the rubber band kind of like it's kind
of ping pongy, but ball is attached to the call.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Those I'm not sure call it ba oh.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
A paddle ball? I yes, I do remember that. So
was that the answer?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Paddleball is not the answer. The answer is the yo yo,
which apparently was invented around five hundred BC.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
That was my first thought, a yo yo, And I thought, no,
yoyo's weren't invented five hundred BC.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Apparently, they were.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well, that was my absolute first thought though.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I used to be really good at the yo yo.
I used to enter the yo.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yo contest when they had him every year at our
Creation department. And I can't bought the dog and the
cradle at the cradle.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
My gosh, you guys are such yo yo enthusiasts. I
had no idea. Well, Nancy can do it. I just
know the terms. Yeah, there is a big difference. Think
about how that was entertaining for us. Oh yeah, actually crazy.
I used the yoyo for the first time about two
weeks ago. It came flooding back all the memories. Oh,
(03:00):
all right, guys, have a freak day.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You too, You know, you hit on it, Carolyn. But
back in the day, you would tune in to like
the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and he would have
a guy on that would do the yo yo.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, just do yoyo tricks, and you'd watch, just fascinated.
It's so funny how such simple toys back in the
day we're so entertaining for hours on end. And when
we were talking about the ball and paddle, I was thinking, man,
those were fun. I remember how excited you get you'd
be like whoa, You'd unwrap it and be like, WHOA
A ball and paddle. Let me see you keep the
(03:34):
ball in the paddle and blu you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Every year for Easter, the Easter Bunny used to always
bring all my siblings.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
We would get yoyo's. It's such an Easter Bunny every
single every single year. Thank you Easter Bunny. I know
those were the days that makes me miss the simple
things in life. Everything today is so complicated. Sure as
she sounds like an old lady, We're at eight seven
seven nine eight one nine eight one. Reach us with
that phone number for anything but certain on the morning
Breeze brain teas, which we do every weekday morning here
(04:03):
at six twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
And also a reminder, today is a Tuesday, which means
it's a talkback Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes, we welcome your talkbacks with our iHeartRadio app. There
is a little red microphone button right in the top
right hand corner of our app while you're listening to
the Breeze and it's very easy to send us a

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, so if you have yet to participate today again,
talk back Tuesday would be a great day for you
to do. It download in your app store or at
ninety eight one The Breeze dot com at Earthdrees.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's Nellie Furtado six thirty nine. Good morning. It is
the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. And yes it
is Tuesday, although it feels like a Monday. I think
a lot of people today are going to be making
that mistake. I came in I wrote down on my
piece of paper Monday with an explanation, exploit air, exclamation,
exclamation point. Did you sleep at all last night? I
sure did.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm so excited though, to come in today it being
a not Monday, but I wrote Monday down. I'm like,
oh man, this already off to a bedstort. I know
when you have to write it down, you know it's
going to be tough.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Anyway, it is Carolyn and Court here on the Morning
Breeze and it is time for the More, you know.
We do it every weekday morning at this time this morning,
Court is bringing us a financial the More, you know.
So I'm excited to learn something from Court. Yeah, it's
a new money trend and it's happening for a lot
of different reasons which I'll get into. But it's called
(05:25):
the no spend challenge. You're familiar with this, Oh it's
a challenge. No.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, you're basically committing to spending money on nothing but
essentials for a period of time. And the trend has
basically been a month one month, you only buy the
groceries you need, just the bear essentials for groceries, housing
expenses like rent or mortgage, You pay the bills, gas
for your vehicle, and that is it. So no uber
(05:52):
eats in there anywhere, nothing extra. So if you got
Starbucks out the.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Door, oh well I'm out. It's just the bare minimum
for you to survive as a human or maybe as
a family, get us for a month, So that would
mean you're not going out and doing anything. No movies, correct,
no taking the kids. Can't do it. Don't even finish
that sentence. This sounds like a trend that I'm not interested.
(06:21):
It's it's pretty tough. It's interesting though, when you think
about not spending money like in your own life, you
realize how much you spend outside of the essential. And
that's why they say this is working.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And again the benefits that I hinted towards, it's some
do it as part of a financial reset as a
way to help cleanse. Yeah, help to pay down debt.
So you take all the money you're not spending, you
put it to pay down bet debt or to accelerate savings. Yeah,
because you know you like to have some savings.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The holidays are just around the corner. It's a good time.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Another reason why people are like, okay, yeah, Christmas is
just around the door or around the corner.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
So we got to figure this out. Maybe a vacation
is on the coming up that you want to have
some money for, so you can basically accelerate your savings
for that. This is so interesting. I kind of like this. Now,
experts say you should.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Not do this, like long term, this isn't just a
way to live life, and that just won't be happy.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, you need to get out and have some fun
once in a while, but you can start for like
one week and then if you feel like you're doing okay,
maybe take it up to two weeks eventually a month.
I don't think I could do it. I was going
to suggest you and I do it, but I want
a Starbucks today so bad, and I don't think I could.
That's such first world problems, right, but it checks you though,
(07:38):
I check you.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
If you well, if you want Starbucks today, that's fine. No,
but I say next next Monday. Just say next Monday.
I'm gonna do without. I'm going to try it for
a week.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I'm out. But think of all the money I know.
All right, it's some more, you know, very interesting. We
do it every weekday morning at six forty here on
the breeze. Coming up this morning at eight point fifty.
Set your mental alarm or an actual alarm. We're going
to be commercial free. We do it every weekday morning
at that time.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, ninety eight minutes of NonStop, commercial free, relaxing favorites,
helping you start your workday. And we'll kick that off
at eight point fifty here on the morning breeze.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
The area Tuesday a chance of dry lightning in some areas,
otherwise a mix of sun clouds and afternoon gusty winds
highs upper sixties to low nineties.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Seven oh seven is the time with Ace of Base
here on ninety eight point one the breeze. You've got
the morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and it is
time for the brider Side sponsored by Shriving Company, Luxury
time Pieces, fine designers and flawless Diamonds. This is the
portion of the show where we try to be positive
all the time. Sure, obviously yes, but it's like super
concentrated where we share the good and positive things happening
(08:46):
in our lives or in your life, which is where
we would love for you to participate. Eight seven, seven,
nine eighty one oh nine eight one. All sorts of
things qualify for the Brider side.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, we've had people send us talkbacks as well with
our iHeartRadio apps, so that's an option if you're on
the go, as they say, yeah, send us a quick
message with our app. We were saying a couple of
minutes ago, we hope you certainly had a great weekend.
A lot of people had a long holiday weekend, but
it was especially good for two people in the Bay Area,
oh Man, who are now one point one six million
(09:16):
dollars richer. They played the one billion dollar powerball jackpot
on Saturday night and missed it by one number one
number one number of these two, but they each won
one point six million. One of those tickets was sold
in Milpitis at seven eleven on Clearlke. The other one
was sold at a mobile gas station in Pleasant Hill,
(09:39):
I think I know that gas station too. Yeah, I mean,
can you imagine? I was so cool.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I was so surprised because I had heard two people
in California, Yeah, had hit all the numbers but one,
and then both of those people live here.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
In the Bay Area. Now, whenever I see California, I
always think it's gonna be like Fresno or you know, La,
so I never picture Bay Area. So to see both,
like you said, and here. Yeah, so they are each
one point six one point one six million dollars richer.
They have yet to come forward because this was last
night's drawing, so this just barely happened. No, this was
(10:14):
Saturday's drawing when they won the one point one six Okay, gotcha?
Now rolled. There was a drawing last last night which
no one wants. I mean, there were four winners that
got whatever. But now it's rolling again. We've got one
point three billion for tomorrow's drive.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'm going to make a prediction, Okay, I'll bet you
tomorrow's drawing is probably going to be closer to one
point four or one point five billion, because when it
reaches this point, everybody goes and buys a.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Ticket, including yours. Truly are you going to I'm going
to buy today, okay, and then he may not see
you here on We're at work on Thursday. Whoa, that's
so okay, fine, I'll come in if you one Would
you come to work for real? I will be honest,
I would. I would, yes, because we do the show
together and I like you. You're my friend, and I
(11:07):
wouldn't want to leave you hanging. Would you come the
following day? Probably not, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I would come in that one day, get my affairs
in order, make make sure everything was good.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Maybe you know, would you really not work anymore if
you won the lottery? I feel like you like what
you do. I love I love what I do. I
would I would have a very hard hard.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Time walking away from this job, even if I had
one point four billion dollars sitting in my bank account.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I know, thanks for asking. I would probably, Well, are
you going to play? I didn't want to know, so
you've then, But if if you were to play, if
I were to play, yeah, what would happen? If I
were to win, I would still come in. Of course.
I can't imagine not doing this job. We have the
greatest job in the world. It's not even a job,
it's a hobby. It's exactly right. Yeah. I love that
(11:54):
we're fantasizing about what we would do and there's no
chance we're gonna win. But good luck to you, Court,
I've already spent the money. Oh okay, perfect, perfect, Yeah.
So the jackpot for tomorrow is ranks among the fifth
largest in power ball game and then history, and the
ninth largest among US lottery jackpot games.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's a big ee oh oh yeah. Like I said,
this is where more people start participating than usual. So
jackpot is going to get bigger and bigger.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, so good luck everybody, all right, brighter side. We
do it every weekday morning, just after seven o'clock, and
as Court mentioned a couple of minutes ago, we welcome
your brighter sides eight seven, seven nine, eight one oh
nine eight one.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Something else we do happens at seven twenty five, which
is ask us anything that same number pertains here eight
seven seven nine eight nine eight one because we need
your questions. You ask a question, we try to answer it.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, anything goes, whether it's something about the show or
you just need our opinion on something, whatever the case
may be. Sky's the limit. There is no question two
big or small. So give us a call, let us
know what your question is and we will answer it
on ask Us Anything, coming up seven to twenty five
here on the Morning it's seven twenty seven the Righteous
Brothers on the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court. We're
(13:06):
gonna get right into it. It's ask us Anything. We
do it every weekday morning at this time, love hearing
your questions where we answer literally anything that you ask
us eight seven seven nine one, nine eight one. You
can always send us a talk back with our iHeartRadio app.
All right, Adele and Milbray, ask us anything.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So this is a scenario. Okay, let's say that around
nine pm you're out of milk for your little toddler. Yes,
so you go quickly to the grocery store and you're
a case wait and there's only one checkout stand and
the line is long and I'm talking about at least
(13:48):
twenty minutes to wait in line, wow, for just one
gallon of milk. So what would you do in that scenario?
Would you pull out ten dollars at the empty checkout
stand and say here is for milk that I'm getting
and you know, leave, or would you wait in line,
(14:10):
wait at out, and then your two year old start
screaming whining, right, the line's too long and.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It's past that time. Well, first of all, this sounds
like the worst scenario I've ever heard in my entire life.
Like I can't even imagine. I would probably go to
like I would leave and go to an AMPM or
a corner gas station that has milk where I just
get enough for that night. That's what I would do.
What would you do for it? That was actually gonna
(14:38):
be my suggestion.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I know that wasn't an option Atdell, but it would
be the third option, which because I I my first
job was working at a convenience store and we sold
more milk than anything else in the store. Oh really,
because just how convenient it was to pop in and pop.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Out and grab milk. I feel like if he tried
to leave the ten dollars that they would say, you
can't do that, so you're not gonna have it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
But I did say that. That's what I did, though,
I grabbed another milk to the same one that was
actually getting and I'm like, I'm not gonna sit through
this line. I'm just getting one item. Here's ten dollars
keep the change I'm leaving, and then the cashiers like
you can't do that. I'm like, well I just did.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah. Wow, Yeah, that has got to be so frustrating,
especially when you have a crying to your arm. I'm
kind of okay with this answer. I know it's it's
I know probably business owners would in front.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Of stop lifting, right because I did pay for it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And you overpaid for it. Yeah, you tipped.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I've walked into stores before and saw the checkout lines
being super long and just walked out because I'm like,
I don't even want to deal with that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
But I know you didn't have that option.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And if I did leave the milk and walk out,
Jacob would have screamed even more because that's what he wanted. Yeah,
so I had to like leave the store with the milk,
so you see, like calm down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Understandable, Yeah, understandable. That's a good question though, Thank you guys.
That's exactly how ask us anything works, and that's a
great example. It could be a scenario that you bring
us that you just want your opinion on, like, well,
would you have done in this situation exactly?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
And you can participate as well eight seven, seven, nine
eight one, nine eight one Steve Perry at eight ten
here on ninety eight point one The Breeze. You've got
the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So something happened this morning before I left for work. Court.
That was kind of scary, but then I also felt
like you ever catch yourself and you feel like you're
turning into the crazy person that you don't want to be. Like,
there's always like you've got a crazy person living on
your street, and you're like, I just became that crazy person.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's basically if you can't if you can't identify the
crazy person on your street, you are the trade.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And today it was me. So I woke up this morning.
I always take Perk out for quick walk before we
had to work. We're coming back from the walk and
we were right next to my house and I live
along a street. So I'm on the street and there's
your house. Well, no, there's the fence and some bushes
coming over the fence or trees, and all of a sudden,
I hear this huge russell Russell Russell. Ah, is it
(17:13):
the the raccoons? The raccoons are back? Yeah, And I've
had issues with raccoons. My whole neighborhood does. They're coming.
They're tearing up the lawn. They're looking for the grubs.
It's that time of year. So I hear the russell.
Of course, Perk is freaking out, so I get her
in the house. I have to do that immediately, right,
So I put her in the house, and I now
(17:34):
coming back out to put my car outside because it's
so warm this morning. We had the lightning going off
and the whole nine it was just a weird morning.
So I put my car outside to air it out,
and I look when I walk out onto my porch,
and that what I'm assuming is the same raccoon is
now on top of my fence, just staring at me
on the porch. So here's where the crazy person comes in.
(17:57):
I do one of these yeah here, but I'm trying
to keep it quiet because and it just stares at me.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And I was like, oh, so you're trying to shoe
off the raccoon the raccoon and not make any noise,
but also.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Kind of scare it and get it. It is staring
at me, and I'm like, uh, oh, it's mad at me.
So then I thought, well, game on. So I opened
my garage door and I grab a flip flop because
that's what I see first, and I fake to throw
it and the thing doesn't budge, not even a flinch Nope.
So I'm like, okay, So I now throw the flip flop,
(18:34):
not to hit it, just to scare it away in
the fence, in the general area the fence. It bounces
off the fence and lands on my sidewalk, and the
raccoon looks down at the flip flop and then stares
at me again, and I'm like, uh oh again. The
raccoon did not react other than just watching the honey badger,
didn't give a you know what. He just sat up
(18:57):
there on the fence. And now my flip flop is
laying on the sidewalk and I can't get to it
because the security guard raccoon is at the top of
the fence. Right now, I'm really feeling nuts, so I
figure I'm going to back my car out and that'll
scare it. Lights the sound of the engine, back it out,
get out of the car, peek around the corner. It's
just sitting there staring at me. I'm like, am I
(19:18):
going to be able to get in my house now. Plus,
let's not forget I've got a flip flop sitting on
the sidewalks. The raccoon's just waiting for you, leap. Huh.
So I got out of the car, went the garage,
peeked around the corner from the garage to the porch,
and it was gone. But now I'm too afraid to
go out and give my flip flops. You have no
idea where that raccoon has gone. What if he's on
(19:38):
the sidewalk hiding around the corner and I'm about to
come to work with brabies of course, right, yeah, So
all that inside, I left the flip flopper a little bit,
went in the house and Perk was at the back
door looking out in the yard, and I thought, well,
that's where he went, because she was on it. So
I went out again later and got my flip flops,
and here we are work today. So it was a
(19:59):
very eventful. But I did realize, I'm going to be
honest to say, very early on in that story and
in that happening today, I felt nuts. I felt like
a crazy person, and I thought I finally become the
lady that lives on the corner.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Is there any chance that the you have a security camera, Yeah, yeah,
any chance that your security camera picked up.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Any of this? No, because of maybe say a coworker
to watch and enjoy. Luckily, it's not okay, Now I
get on that. I gotta get on that too, And
I'm frankly in this case glad that it's not working.
We have had a.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Lot of great Breeze listeners right in before or even
call in and giving you ideas on how to rid
yourself of the raccoon problem.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
These raccoons are so aggressive, tearing up lawns and I
don't know, chasing down flip flops, so I don't I
don't know, not caring at all. He did not care.
So anyway, we're at eight seven seven nine eight one.
Send us a message anytime with our iHeartRadio app, and.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Be sure to join us later in the hour eight
fifty as you begin your workday, We're going to give
