Speaker 1 (00:33):
Let me tell you, but one thing I could get behind,
and even if you're not a fan of Christmas, something
that everyone could probably love and agree on is the
decorations around the Bay Area and in Alameda. People go
hard for Christmas, and they go super hard for Halloween.

Over seven hundred and eighty five thousand lights.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:49):

Speaker 2 (06:48):
It's time for the great debate.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Should you have to watch your grandkids for free?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Is the question?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
This morning, Sandra called and she has an issue and
wanted a little advice.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
So my daughter drops my granddaughter over. She's two, and
just assumes like and Lee, and she just assumes like
I got nothing to do all day. You know, I'm
an active grandma. I wouldn't say, you know, I'm active
in the sense that I have a life. And so
my husband thinks I'm a jerk because I want to
charge her for watching Leanna. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
All right, thanks, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You know I was at your house, Producer Karina, about
a week ago or so for your birthday and Lovey.
Your niece was trying to hang out with her grandparents,
your parents, and they were like.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Two days, you got two days?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Ya Wantam and Connie were like, ah no, she wanted
to come for the whole week, and they were like,
uhh no, you know you got one one and.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
A half days. Actually the clock is ticking down.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So it's kind of funny to see that grandparent parents
are not necessarily like, oh, come here baby.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Yeah no.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I actually have a couple of friends, Christy that are like,
I didn't have the kids, that's my daughter's kids. They
should have to pay and compensate me for my time.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
What do you think that is the question for this
morning's Great Debate? Hold on, should grandparents have to get
paid to watch the kids?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Or is that like your grandparent duties?

say about this one.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Next back to the Great Debate Classic Kids one oh
three point seven.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Good morning, Rich, do you think it's wrong for grandparents
to ask for cash to watch their grandkids.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
No, hell no, no, no no no. I did my job.
You follow me. It's different, Christy. When you raise their
own kids, is a different kind of love than your grandchildren.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Like my little boys, oh man, all their men now.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But you know, Christy, those are the best times in
my life watching them grow up. My grandchildren are nice.
But that's your job. I want you to enjoy a minute,
not me. You follow me.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
I did my job.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I raised used to. I gave you guys one hundred
and ten percent, you know, and I'm done. No, I
want you to go through what I went through. You
show that kid one hundred percent love and this and that. Okay,
I will be here if you need me, but it's
your job, not mine. Here's your answer.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Okay, okay, you're the best populator.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Thank you, rich a good day.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
What are your thoughts about this morning's great debate? So
grandparents get paid to watch their grandkids? Makila, thank you
for calling this morning.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
Well, I think it's whatever the grandparents want. I have
two kids, and my mother in law is an angel,
an absolute angel. But you know, she's gotten older and
so whatever she did with the you know, thirteen year old,
she can't do it with the seven year old. And
you know, really depends on how much money people need
or have, because look, they didn't have those kids. My
(10:15):
mother in wived just fight her age is super busy,
which is great. Who can't count on her all the
time anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You know what I love is how much love you're
showing your mother in law. That's awesome.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
I really lucked out in the mother in law department.
Even my kids were all like, Grammy is the nicest
person ever. She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Oh that's what's so well.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Give her a big hug from us and tell her
thank you, because I know it's nice to have somebody
you could trust to watch your kids.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I don't have any kids, and I know that.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
What do you think, though, if you are that trustworthy person,
should you be.
Speaker 2 (10:48):

Speaker 6 (11:11):
The Great Debate Classic Kids one oh three point seven.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Should grandparents get paid to watch their grandkids? Or should
they is the question this morning, James, what's up?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No, man, grandparents, you even have to watch the kids?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
They're rate in mind.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I told my kids you have.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Babies, good luck, you're gonna be taking care of yourself.
I come over, hang out for a weekend, and I'm
sending them.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Back to you.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Okay, I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That's what Karna's parents were like. You got two days
to their granddaughter. Yeah, all right, James, I know your vote.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Good morning, Lawrence. Should grandparents get paid to watch their grandkids?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I definitely don't tall.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Oh that's sweet.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I'm always having.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
To hang out with them.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
Yeah, two six twelve.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
My son has a six then you Sometimes the kids
do think we don't have a light.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
But I don't talk.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
All right, Well, you are one of few. Thanks for
the call, Laurence. Good morning, Bruce, super granddad. Appreciate you
jumping in for this morning's great debate.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Do you charge to watch your grandkids?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Nine grandkids? And I cannot even imagine charging my daughter
or my son to watch my grandkids. Really, absolutely, they
don't amuse it. I do a lot of driving, I
do a lot of watching of them, and I, for
the life of me, cannot imagine why somebody would say
they would have to pay the grandparents to watch the grandkids.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, well I will vote that vote. Got a couple
talk bags from our app we can hear.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
I think grandparents are great, so they can spend some
more time with the kids.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
The kids.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
I'm a chance to spend time with the kids, and
I want to watch them, but and enjoying them. Yeah,
I do think they deserve money, maybe a night out
to have some dinner or maybe just to night out
just for them to That's what our parent.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I appreciate that. And whatever you do for a living.
I hope you're wearing ear protection.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Appreciate the talk.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
That got one more good morning.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
So I'm fortunate enough to have my mother take care
of my child during the day. Why me and my
wife go to work. We don't pay her. I know
we should, but we do other things. They live locally
close to us, so we go over there, We clean
the house, we make them dinner, like maybe three maybe
four times a week. We're probably at that house just
hanging out and having a good time. So we're creating
(13:43):
good memories, and I think that's more valuable than money.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Okay, I will definitely note that. Vote producer Karina. When
it comes to grandparents getting paid, show me the money.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
This morning's Great Debate.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
People said, offer them a little something, something you don't
necessarily have to pay them, like a job. But take
them out to dinner, like he said, clean the house.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, I like that. Jeff said he likes a bottle.
He said, bring me a bottle, take me to a
steak dinner. Okay, something, but build memories and spend the
time while you can appreciate you jumping in joining the fun.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
It's time for the great debate.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Should you have to watch your grandkids for free?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Is the question?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
This morning, Sandra called and she has an issue and
wanted a little advice.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
So my daughter drops my granddaughter over. She's two, and
just assumes like and Lee, and she just assumes like
I got nothing to do all day. You know, I'm
an active grandma. I wouldn't say, you know, I'm active
in the sense that I have a life. And so
my husband thinks I'm a jerk because I want to
charge her for watching Leanna. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
All right, thanks, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You know I was at your house, Producer Karina, about
a week ago or so for your birthday and Lovey.
Your niece was trying to hang out with her grandparents,
your parents, and they were like.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Two days, you got two days?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Ya Wantam and Connie were like, ah no, she wanted
to come for the whole week, and they were like,
uhh no, you know you got one one and.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
A half days. Actually the clock is ticking down.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So it's kind of funny to see that grandparent parents
are not necessarily like, oh, come here baby.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Yeah no.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I actually have a couple of friends, Christy that are like,
I didn't have the kids, that's my daughter's kids. They
should have to pay and compensate me for my time.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
What do you think that is the question for this
morning's Great Debate? Hold on, should grandparents have to get
paid to watch the kids?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Or is that like your grandparent duties?

Next back to the Great Debate Classic Kids one oh
three point seven.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Good morning, Rich, do you think it's wrong for grandparents
to ask for cash to watch their grandkids.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
No, hell no, no, no no no. I did my job.
You follow me. It's different, Christy. When you raise their
own kids, is a different kind of love than your grandchildren.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Like my little boys, oh man, all their men now.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But you know, Christy, those are the best times in
my life watching them grow up. My grandchildren are nice.
But that's your job. I want you to enjoy a minute,
not me. You follow me.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
I did my job.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I raised used to. I gave you guys one hundred
and ten percent, you know, and I'm done. No, I
want you to go through what I went through. You
show that kid one hundred percent love and this and that. Okay,
I will be here if you need me, but it's
your job, not mine. Here's your answer.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Okay, okay, you're the best populator.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Thank you, rich a good day.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
What are your thoughts about this morning's great debate? So
grandparents get paid to watch their grandkids? Makila, thank you
for calling this morning.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
Well, I think it's whatever the grandparents want. I have
two kids, and my mother in law is an angel,
an absolute angel. But you know, she's gotten older and
so whatever she did with the you know, thirteen year old,
she can't do it with the seven year old. And
you know, really depends on how much money people need
or have, because look, they didn't have those kids. My
(10:15):
mother in wived just fight her age is super busy,
which is great. Who can't count on her all the
time anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You know what I love is how much love you're
showing your mother in law. That's awesome.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
I really lucked out in the mother in law department.
Even my kids were all like, Grammy is the nicest
person ever. She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Oh that's what's so well.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Give her a big hug from us and tell her
thank you, because I know it's nice to have somebody
you could trust to watch your kids.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I don't have any kids, and I know that.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
What do you think, though, if you are that trustworthy person,
should you be.
Speaker 2 (10:48):

The Great Debate Classic Kids one oh three point seven.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Should grandparents get paid to watch their grandkids? Or should
they is the question this morning, James, what's up?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No, man, grandparents, you even have to watch the kids?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
They're rate in mind.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I told my kids you have.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Babies, good luck, you're gonna be taking care of yourself.
I come over, hang out for a weekend, and I'm
sending them.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Back to you.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Okay, I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That's what Karna's parents were like. You got two days
to their granddaughter. Yeah, all right, James, I know your vote.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Good morning, Lawrence. Should grandparents get paid to watch their grandkids?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I definitely don't tall.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Oh that's sweet.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I'm always having.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
To hang out with them.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
Yeah, two six twelve.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
My son has a six then you Sometimes the kids
do think we don't have a light.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
But I don't talk.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
All right, Well, you are one of few. Thanks for
the call, Laurence. Good morning, Bruce, super granddad. Appreciate you
jumping in for this morning's great debate.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Do you charge to watch your grandkids?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Nine grandkids? And I cannot even imagine charging my daughter
or my son to watch my grandkids. Really, absolutely, they
don't amuse it. I do a lot of driving, I
do a lot of watching of them, and I, for
the life of me, cannot imagine why somebody would say
they would have to pay the grandparents to watch the grandkids.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, well I will vote that vote. Got a couple
talk bags from our app we can hear.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
I think grandparents are great, so they can spend some
more time with the kids.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
The kids.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
I'm a chance to spend time with the kids, and
I want to watch them, but and enjoying them. Yeah,
I do think they deserve money, maybe a night out
to have some dinner or maybe just to night out
just for them to That's what our parent.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I appreciate that. And whatever you do for a living.
I hope you're wearing ear protection.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Appreciate the talk.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
That got one more good morning.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
So I'm fortunate enough to have my mother take care
of my child during the day. Why me and my
wife go to work. We don't pay her. I know
we should, but we do other things. They live locally
close to us, so we go over there, We clean
the house, we make them dinner, like maybe three maybe
four times a week. We're probably at that house just
hanging out and having a good time. So we're creating
(13:43):
good memories, and I think that's more valuable than money.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Okay, I will definitely note that. Vote producer Karina. When
it comes to grandparents getting paid, show me the money.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
This morning's Great Debate.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
People said, offer them a little something, something you don't
necessarily have to pay them, like a job. But take
them out to dinner, like he said, clean the house.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, I like that. Jeff said he likes a bottle.
He said, bring me a bottle, take me to a
steak dinner. Okay, something, but build memories and spend the
time while you can appreciate you jumping in joining the fun.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Start the Great Debate around
eight thirty. And if you have a question something going
on in your life that you want to discuss, you
