(00:00):
Please do listening. Good Morning Drivewith Christy Live on demand. Good morning,
how are you doing, Welcome backfrom the weekend. Well, you
know you might get to work andsome of your coworkers are still on vacation.
Okay, that's how it's very quietaround this building, ghostown around the
radio station. I'm just saying we'rehere though, to help you get your

(00:21):
mornings started. My name's Christy.Producer Karina is here. Love love,
love to always hear what you haveto say. Every you know, Monday,
Winter Friday, we do the GreatDebate. We always discuss a topic.
But it's also cool when you sendin emails to share a little something
about your life. So want toshout out Leslie Wilson from San Leandro.

(00:43):
She sent me an email and puther sister on blast. Oh and I'm
gonna share it because why not,you know, it's a Monday. Yeah,
she said she is over meticulous aboutthe way that she does things.
I'm a virgo, Leslie, Itotally understand. But she said she had
to say something about her sister andthe way her sister cuts her watermelon.

(01:03):
And I can understand. Okay,why Leslie was so moved to send an
email to share this. She saidshe puts her watermelon on the counter,
not on the cutting board right there. That's a faux pas. Yeah,
and then she slices it in halfand then scoops out all of the watermelon

(01:25):
with a spoon. Christie is subtlelike slicing it, which I think most
people do. You know, it'sso interesting because something like this you wouldn't
think, oh, that's a bigdeal. But everyone has their way of
cutting a watermelon, and if youdon't do it right, I'm sorry.
Like I cut you know, Iset it on the side, you know,

(01:46):
and then I cut it in half, and then I take the half
and then slice it and then sliceit again and then use a slice to
cut off the ride. It's verymeticulous. I'm a virgo. So someone
just cutting it in half and scoopput it out with a spoon. I'm
not eating your scooped out watermelon witha spoon. That seems just like a
lot of work. That is general, like, come on, But that

(02:08):
being said, everyone does have thosekind of food things that they do.
There's always that one little thing thatyou do when it comes to your food,
the way you cook it, theway you slice it the way you
dice it. Do you have somethinglike that produce a CREENA. I notice
I've been really into eating sellflower seedslately. So I stuff a big handful

(02:29):
into my mouth. Oh, andthen I crack it in my mouth and
then I take it out one ata time. No, like a squirrel.
Yeah, like a squirrel. LikeI stick a handful of sunflower seed.
You put them all in your mouthat the same time. How would
you want to bet? And thenI can crack it in my mouth on
the side. But then you're eatingshell. No, I'm taking out the
shell like a squirrel, one ata time. But I have to have

(02:51):
a handful of sunflower seed. Yeah, you gotta eat the sunflower seeds one
at a time, one at atime. You crack it with your two
front teeth, and then you canopen it and then eat your sunflower seed.
Well, do you have a foodquirk? Well, you're definitely. I
think you're watermelon. It's like alittle tedious. That's not tedious. That's
how you cut a watermelon. Leslie, you understand thank you for the email.

(03:14):
I understand your sister is wrong andI'm on your team, just saying
do you have any food quirks,the way you eat something, the way
you prepare something. Everyone's got theresomething one eight sixty six, nine hundred
one three seven, or tap thered microphone on our iHeartRadio app if you
happen to be listening on the appif you want to share your food quirk,

(03:35):
or you know that she eats onflower seeds, squirrel like produce a
Karina. Always love to hear fromyou, like I said in the morning,
got some Google dolls and you onnext on eighties plus Christie Live.
Do you have any strange food quirksor habits the way you eat something or
the way that you cook something.Leslie wrote in and said her sister likes

(03:55):
to slice a watermelon in half,and she literally scoops out the entire watermelon
with a spoon. That's how shecuts her watermelon. What's your strange food
quirk? Edward? All right,So whenever I got something going in the
microwave and it's about to hit thetimer three two, I have to stop
there. Oh my god, Ido the exact same thing. I don't

(04:17):
know why I would like to stopit before the alarm or the buzzer goes
off. If it gets down tozero and I hear that beep, I
don't know why. I just can'thave that happen, so I always got
to stop it right at one.I am so glad that you were being
honest about this because I thought Iwas the only one. Thank you very
much. We're going to be strangetogether, Rebecca, good morning. What

(04:40):
is your strange food quirk? Iput sugar in my grit and people think
that's weird, but mostly people fromthe South. I don't think anything's wrong
with sugar in your grits. Youknow, you can have them sweet or
savory. I was gonna say,like oatmeal, but no, oatmeal is
definitely sweet, no savory, olmelbut I feel you grow up, That's
what I'm saying. Like, butpeople from the South, they think it's

(05:01):
disgusting because they put salt and butterand stuff and pepper into this. Like
I said, you could do bothwith grits. Not omeal, but grits.
Yes. Thank you for the call, well, thank you, thank
you for the validations anytime, Rebecca, I got you have a great day.

Smith on Sunday was hanging out withher friend and her friend's car was stolen,
and so they called the police andreported that her car was stolen.

(06:19):
But after that call, she figured, oh, they're not looking for my
friend's car fast enough, so letme call nine one one back and tell
them that my daughter is in thecar. But wait, it gets even
crazier, they say. Smith thenmade a second call to nine one one
to report that her child was missingand that she believed whoever took her friend's

(06:40):
car also took the child. Policesay the vehicle was found and they determined
the child did not exist. Youjust made up a kid so they could
buy your homegirl's car faster. Imean it worked, dude. Come on,
I can appreciate that she had herfriends back, like, okay,

(07:30):
You're grown. I'm just saying wedon't have any kids, but that
happens, especially when you turn eighteen. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
we always discuss a hot topic andit is really awesome when you call in
with a great debate topic. Andwe got this talk back a week ago
and definitely wanted to ask your thoughtson it this morning. Good morning ladies.

(07:53):
I have a a great debate idea. If what mothers and fathers think
about letting their children live with themafter the age of eighteen, Is it
a good thing? Or is ita bad thing. Me. I would
let my kids stay in my houseforever. That's me. I'm a mom,
though my husband. Nope. Ilove how she said nope. Thank

(08:16):
you so much for that talk.Pack. That is a great question.
And you know, if you're aparent, you might be actually going through
this situation right now. Graduation justhappened. Is it time for your kid
to get out the house? Imoved out when I was eighteen. You
did? Oh man? I couldnot wait. I love you mom,
Miss Ruthie, but she was toostrict for me. So personally, I

(08:37):
think get out of the nest.Martha Quinn, however, is from this
school of thoughts. She would haveher kids live with her, her kids,
kids live with her kids, kidskids live with her, and never
leave the house. What do youthink? One eight sixty six nine hundred
one three seven or tap the redmicrophone on our iHeartRadio app to weigh in

(09:01):
on the question of should kids atthe age of eighteen get the hell off
the house? That is this morning'sgreat debate. Christy I said no,
I think eighteen is a little tooyoung. They need to be paying some
rent. But I say no,I feel like eighteen at this generation still

(09:22):
way too young. Producer Crana stilllives at home with her parents. Okay,
her family is tight, so youknow, I see where you're coming
from. Your family is super tight. So you're like, hey, stay
at home, miss Ruthie. Iwas out. Do you think though?
One eight sixty six, nine hundredand one three seven love to hear your

(09:43):
thoughts. Get you on next one. When is the right time to kick
your kids out the house? Okay? That is this morning's question. Got
a talk back from our iHeartRadio appand someone throughout that question as a debate.
Thank you so much, by theway for that, mar Lena,

(10:05):
Good morning. Where do you stand? I don't think so. I feel
like at eighteen years, still akid. At twenty one years, still
a kid. Keep the kids aslong as possible, guys, if you
can keep them, trust me,they're going to going to take care of
you when you get old. Okay. They're like, I remember when you
kicked me out when I was eighteen. Now you're eighty four. Now you're
on your own mom and dad.Yeah, okay, cool. Thank you,

(10:30):
Marlena. I'll note your vote.Got to talk back here from our
iHeartRadio app. Hi Christi and Karna. That is Jotie calling from Kentucky.
Hey, I do think kids shouldbe able to live at home. Rents
are so high these days, andI don't know if any high school graduate
or college graduate even that can affordthe amount of money that these places want

(10:50):
in rent, and you know,and then to top it all off,
you're gonna have to pay, youknow, for your car and all that
other stuff. So yeah, Ithink living in home is the best option.
That's my opinion. Thanks, havea great day, lady. We
love your opinion, Jody, andthank you so much for the talk back.
I will note your vote. Gotanother talk back here from the app.
Just tap the red microphone if youhappen to have our free iHeartRadio app,

(11:11):
and you can send a message straightto the studio. Hi. I
am a father, and I'll tellyou what I was told when I was
eighteen, and when I have toldmy girls that if they are in college
earning a college degree, they canstay in the house renfree. But if
they're not going to go to collegeand you're just going to stay there,
they have to get a job andpay rent. Because I was paying rent
and aga eighteen myself that's the responsibilityof what we should be doing. At

(11:35):
eighteen. You're an adult. Yougot to pay rent, guide it,
buy your own food. They canstay there as long as they pay rent.
I love that you're like, uhhuh, and you're not eating my
food anymore either. That seems fairto me and it's a good lesson in
responsibility. Thank you so much forthe talk back. What do you think?
Got a call from a listener whosaid, Hey, I want to
throw this debate out there. Mykid is turning eighteen, and I think

(11:58):
they should be able to live withme as long as they want to.
Her husband disagrees. Where do youstand on this Morning's Great Debate one eight
sixty six nine hundred one three sevenor tap the red microphone on our iHeartRadio

(12:18):
app if you want to leave atalk back to join in back to the
Great Debate eighties plus at one ohthree point seven is eighteen years old the
right time to kick your kids outof the house. That's a question we
got for this Morning's Great Debate viatalkback, and we appreciate you sending that.
In ten from the rich, whatdo you think I would like to

(12:41):
say that if they pulling their weight, paying the bills, helping clean up.
You better have a cleaning schedule,you better have you know, all
the rules still apply. Because you'reunder my roof. I'll treat you like
an adult, but adults follow damnrules. Yep. Okay. Love my
family, big old family, saveto kids, three of them grown.

(13:03):
I do not mind at all.I absolutely love them. But they all
pull their weight. They do whatthey're supposed to do. We talk things
out because once you start saying,you know, well, I'm grown.
You said, okay, now it'stime for you to be all the way
grown tund somewhere to go. Butonce you start screaming, I'm not following
that rule because I'm grown. Okay, well, it's time for you to
do to grown up and do itmoving. Okay. I like that.

(13:26):
That seems like it's fair. Iappreciate those thoughts. Thank you very much.
We will note your vote. Yeah, ma'am, you have a good
one, you too, Tam,Good morning, Josh. Where do you
stand Is eighteen the right time tokick a kid out of the house?
I would say no. I thinkeighteen, if anything, is younger than
it's ever been. Like kids whoare eighteen don't know what to do,

(13:48):
don't know how to pay bills,don't know any of that kind of stuff.
So no, I don't think it'sgoing to be better for them to
throw them out into a world thatis very expensive and only getting more expensive
every day. I think, youknow, it's okay, Lets the kids
live with you a little longer,so then he could go out in the
world and actually handle things. That'sexactly what producer Karina said. Okay,

(14:09):
thank you so much, Josh Tasha, thanks for checking in for this morning's
great debate. Hold on there,it is. It's eighteen the right time
to make your kid leave the house. Oh, I think eighteen is a
good age. If they're prepared andyou know, then you're just not kicking

(14:31):
them out on the street. Ifthey're going to college, then yeah,
they got somewhere to go. Butif they eighteen is a good age.
You've been taking care of all thistime. He's still got to continue to
take care of him, so youmight as well get out and get your
feet wet. That's what we're preppingyou for anyway. Okay, once again,
well note that vote. Thank youso much to everyone who called and
let the talk back about this morning'sGreat Debate. Votes are in producer.

(14:58):
Now, where do people? Themajority of people said, let the kids
stay in the house. Maybe youknow, if they can pay some rent,
that'd be great. And don't liveunder Christy's roof, because Christy will
kick you out. Eighteen you gotstuck out. Get to step in box
it. I always love it whenyou call in with your thoughts to do
