The Morning Breeze, The Morning Breeze on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's music from the Righteous Brothers. It's six point twenty
here on ninety eight point one the Breeze. You've got
the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and let's do it.
It's time for the Morning Breeze. Brain tease, Let's exercise
our brains just a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Let's do it. Sponsored by Mike Counsel Plumbing. You're in cleanhand.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Think for here, well, Carolyn, if you couldn't tell, is prepared.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm here to help. Court Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Sponsored by Mike Counsel Plumbing. You're in Clean Hands with
Mike Counsel Plumbing. Visit them at mc plumbing dot com. Okay,
thirty four percent of adults say they tip for this service.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Thirty four percent. Okay. We're at eight seven seven nine, eight,
one oh nine to eight.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
One.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Will take your guesses. We're going to start with you,
Sue in Santa Rosa. What do you think picking up
your laundry at the at the dry player? Ooh, tipping
your dry cleaner? Do you do that?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Sue?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, I don't really go to the dry players, but
I would if I did. Yeah, I don't either, I
guess that's why I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You were supposed to always just hop on the internet
and see and there's always somebody arguing for against it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I never thought to do that.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, unfortunately that is not the answer we're looking for today.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
All right, Sue, have a good day, you too, Bye bye,
Cedric and San Mateo. What do you think The answer is?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Pizza delivery.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Pizza delivery. If only thirty four percent or tipping, it
feels low. It feels low. That could be very bad.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
The big debate on the pizzas is do you tip
percentage wise or do you tip per pizza? I try
to tip per pizza. Oh, you do a couple of
three or four bucks per pizza?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
No way, I've never thought about that.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Forty dollar pizza. You get like three or four dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yops. Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I always tip percentage wise now, which probably benefits the
delivery drug for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
They prefer the percentage.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I'm sure I get tipped care of my job for
the pilots and attendants taking them back and forth. Yeah,
they give us tips.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
You're transporting flight attendants and pilots from SFO to their hotels,
the down south to the hotels yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I always try to tip my like if I'm on
a shuttle, and especially if they're helping you bring your
luggage in and out.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, you gotta exactly exactly is he right? He is
not right? What's the correct answer?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Thirty four percent of adults say they tip their babysitters.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh, the babysitter.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
That makes sense. Yeah, about that, because usually you just
pay an hourly rate and the kids the babysit are
happy just to get twenty bucks or maybe it's like
one hundred by now. But back in the day, it
was like the amount parents are paying for babysitters is
a lot. They need that tip.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Plus.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I think we always tried to tip a little bit.
It wasn't like a huge tip, but we always would
round up whatever their hourly rate was.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
We always rounded up to something nice. Oh that's nice.
Kids are easy to they're happy. Five extra dollars. Yeah,
that's cool, all right, Cedric. Well, thanks for calling. It's
great to hear from you. You too, I have a
really stupid question asked. There are no stupid questions. Well,
let's here at first, two people still use babysitters, And
(03:08):
I only ask this because my nephews and my niece.
I never hear about babysitters coming to the house. And
back in the day you couldn't wait to be old
enough to babysit for your neighbors or you know, your
neighbor's kid or whatever. I never hear about it. And
I have young kids in the family.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, they're at a certain age, they're old enough, and
if they're mature enough, then you don't have to have
the babysitter with them.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yes, and I think they're I don't know what. There's
like an age, there's like a cutof the baby.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I think I think California has an age in which,
like it's against the law to leave a kid home
if they're under that age.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
On like ten or eleven.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I'm the wrong person and somewhere in that range. Yeah,
I know my daughters, Both of my daughters regularly babysit. Oh,
they do still a lot of My wife and I
rare would hire like a fourteen or a fifteen year
old to babysit. We typically liked the older, older, little
more mature. Course, if not, like college students, college student
(04:10):
babysitters the best you're paying, you're paying more for it. Yeah,
but it made us feel more comfortable.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I agree, I would be in the same camp. That's
a great question. No, it's not a great question because
kids are still kids, and they still need someone to
watch them when when mom and dad aren't home. But
I just never hear about it, even within my own family,
and that's why I brought it up. But I knew
you would know. All right, it's the Morning Breeze brain
teas we play every weekday morning at this time, at
six twenty. I want to tell you quickly, both of us.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Do want to tell you about a new program we're
launching here at the Breeze. It's Ihearts Radios. Think a
Teacher where you get a chance to nominate and an
outstanding public school teacher in your life that is going
above and beyond.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, and it is iHeart Radio. By the way, Ihearts Radio.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I hurts whether there's a it's a company here, there's
a there is anyway?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Sorry, is there? I don't see, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I put the s earlier. I Heeart Radios, Thank a Teacher,
powered by donor's choice. Yeah, it's it's just our company name.
But it's great.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, So we are looking for an outstanding public school teacher,
somebody who goes above and beyond for their students. We
all know that teacher that does amazing things, and we
are going to take your nominations. They will be entered
to win five thousand dollars to stock their classroom with
whatever they need.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, because oftentimes these public school teachers are spending their
own money in order to have all the supplies they need.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yes, so we're going to help you out with the
five thousand dollars. Absolutely, get your nominations. In ninety eight
one The Breeze dot Com the birthrees Love Love Love
Whitney Houston, I Will Always Love You. Six forty two
Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and it is time
for the more you know, a little nuggetive info to
(05:55):
make your day a bit brighter and dare I say,
Court a lot more interesting? That's right, all right, that's
why we do it. Talk to us.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So Americans, we pride ourselves in being good at a
lot of things, like we claim to think that we're
the best at, say technology, for sure, the best movies
are made in the United States. Well, one thing Americans
are not good at is taking vacation.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh totally.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Americans take less vacation than their peers in other countries.
I believe that significantly. A lot of it has to
do with the fact that we're one of the only countries,
especially the only big country, where it's not required by
the government for employers to it's like mandated vacation time.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
We don't have to take it. In other countries, the.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Jobs have to provide vacation to you. That doesn't happen
in the States. So if you're getting vacation days in
the United States, it's just because your employers are giving
it to you.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It's not mandated by the government.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But even still, when you have vacation, half of US
workers do not take their vacation days the ones they
actually have.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, I've got a stack vacation days.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, and maybe you fall into this category. And research
as have found there's a reason why Americans don't take
their vacation days. It's called vacation guilt. Oh you feel
like a slacker if you're taking that vacation.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Oh wow, Well, I think our situation is different because
if I take vacation, you're on your own and it's
your life harder. Well, you feel guilty. Don't have to
worry about me, have to like come up with everything.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
A thing.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
You have to sit where you sit and make see.
Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that, not us, not our listeners. No.
But seriously, here's the other thing I'll say about vacation
and what I've read about Americans with vacations, I think
more than any other country, when we finally do go
on vacation, we take our work with us, right, We
don't totally unplug. How many times have any of you
(07:57):
gone on vacation you're like, let me just check my anmail,
because sometimes it's easier to just do the work while
you're on vacation because when you come back then you
just it's just easier to come out. I'm here to
tell you it's not healthy. We got to stop.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We need to step up as Americans and take those
vacations and not give a darn.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
When was the last time I went on vacation. It's
been a long time, right, Like a long time. You
need to take a vacation. Are we doing this so
I could like a plan a vacation.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
This is me prompting you, Carolyn mccardial, to take a vacation.
You gotta vacation and don't feel guilty about it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh I feel bad. I gotta do it. Okay, But
that is interesting. I love that, and that is exactly
what the more you know is these are things that
we tell you every weekday morning at this time at
six forty, and they kind of stick with you for
a minute. Or you go to work and you tell
everybody at work like, hey, you know what, we're terrible

this now. I'm going to book a vacation. Everybody go

Speaker 1 (09:50):
And this morning we're talking to Daniel in San Bruno.
So you had something fun happen over the weekend. That
was a great family moment. What happened?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I just went to the California Gaming co Invention just
by chance. My wife wanted to go to a craft
fair and next door was a classic gaming convention in
Santa Clara. We went with my ten year old son
and I just figured, wow, just take them, pull them
out of the house and get them away from mindless
doom struggling on YouTube. And we met a game developer
(10:20):
and ten years ago he created a game called Killer
Queen that him and his buddy was just was talking
about how they missed the good old days of arcades
and how they would make a friend from a complete stranger.
And so him and his friend made this game, and
you need ten people to play it. And after ten
years of making this game, people have become lifelong friends.
(10:43):
They've met their spouses, they have kids, they got married.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
My son.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I couldn't pull them away from the game. We were
there all weekend. We only supposed to be there for
a couple of hours. I can't time for my wife
to go to the Yeah, it was a crazy thing.
They killed time for my wife to go to the
craft fair. But in my son made friends, he had fun.
We stayed there until he passed out in the car,
(11:09):
you know, and then we went back to Mexico.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I bought a chair. I sat there.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Wow, it was it was a wonderful experience. And it
was because they created a community from a simple idea
and it reached across generations.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That's really cool. I mean, I think video games sometimes
can be so isolating. I'm speaking from experience, like playing
when I was a kid growing up. What is just
you in a video game console? But everything's so advanced
these days, and they make it like that where you're
playing with a community that look at that, Look what
happened to your day? That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, when when the game requires ten people to participate
and you're automatically you've got a community built in that
is so neat.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, it was just by chance, and it was just
by sure luck, and it brings me hope for a
better tomorrow because people are getting together and they're working
towards a common cause and making friends.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
What I love about this story is that you your
wife was going to the craft fair and there was
something else happening at the convention center that you were
able to go to piece paid in. Because I can't
tell you the number of times I've gone to my
daughter's dance conventions and their performances and I'm looking around
the convention center, I'm like, oh, I can go check
this out, like I'm at a yarn festival.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
But it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
The best thing happens by chance. You just get out
there and I think people forget that because everyone, all
the kids, they just stay on.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Their little like iPads and iPhones.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And they scrow them and they think the world is
through a.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Screen and it's not. I think one of my favorite
parts of the story, though, is when I heard you
say I just went and got a chair.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I I just sat there and I read the news
on my phone and I listen to you guys every morning.
I even listen to you on the app. I got
my kids listening to you guys. My son, who's a
ten year old, says like, I love the breeze and
then we sing eighty songs in the card.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Is cool. I love that. Well, thank you. We really
appreciate you. Listening means a lot, and your son we you.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You guys make our life better.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Keep up the good work. Such a nice phone call, Daniel.

Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and let's get right
into it. It is ask us Anything. We do it

talk back with our iHeartRadio app. However you want to
get in touch with us, we will answer whatever question
you have.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, Sondra actually chose to reach out via instant message
on Facebook, so that's how we got this one. Sondra
in Redwood City says, Hi, Carolyn in Court. I'm not
sure how much TV you watch, but I'm curious to
know if you could be on a reality TV show,
which one do you think you'd be the best fit
for or which one would I'm interpeting that.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Is, which one do you really really want to be on? Yes?
What would yours be?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I love those survival type shows, not Survivor. I I
do not want to be on Survivor. I want to
be on something like there's one that's been around for
a few years called Alone, where they send a bunch
of people into the wilderness. And they just have to
live and survive by themselves.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Are you talking about Naked and Afraid?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well that's no, that's not Naked and Afraid. Okay, but
it's similar called alone alone, your one alone. You get
to wear clothes okay, and they send you out in
the willerness. But since you bring it up, and you
probably bring that up because you also know I'm a
huge fan of Naked and Afraid.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No I didn't, but I like that show. I want
to be on that show. You Court, Court, what the
bug bite situation I have with Naked and Afraid is
not good?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I know.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
In fact, I have a friend who has been on
multiple episodes of Naked and he always gets He always
gets sent home because of some because of an infection,
some infection he gets and he gets horribly sick, but
they keep having back.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
He's a great character. I would, Oh my gosh, that
says a lot about the show. I would only go
on Naked and Afraid to lose weight, because you don't
eat for like a million days.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
There's definitely healthier ways to lose that weight. I've thought
the same thing, Oh my gosh, But yeah, I would
either be alone or Naked and afraid.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
What about you. I would do The Amazing Race or
one of those shows. I would like to do a
show with an athletic component, but you have to use
your brain as well, Like that's the smartest and like
you know, physical Like I would love to do that
where I could do it with somebody where it's like
a team getting through and completing a competition. Yes, that's what.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I don't mind the team part. I just don't like
the scheming that happened. That's why I don't like. I know,
Survivor is like wildly popular, It's been around forever. I
just I don't like the scheming, the backstabbing that takes place.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh I do so wow, I'm kidding. I'm kidding, but
I would still be on it. Okay, all right, that's
a great question. Who was that, Sondra tra thank you.
That was a great one. That's a great example of
how ask us anything works. So if you've got a
question something you want us to answer on the air,
and we'll even have you on with us eight seven
(16:43):
seven nine eight one nine eight one, you can message
us like Sondra did. You could send us a message
with our iHeartRadio app, the talkback Mike, that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And we highly encourage you to stick around because coming
up later in the show, as you begin your workday,
let's say around eight fifty, we're going to give you
ninety eight minutes commercial free.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yes, we do this every weekday morning. A great way
to start off your day in the office, you're working
at home, you're driving the kids around, whatever the case
may be. We are commercial free and we think you're
gonna love it. Ninety eight minutes. We'll do it at
eight fifty on the Breeze.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
It's the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and hollanoates
at eight oh nine.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't want the morning to go by any longer
without us addressing what happened yesterday with Malcolm Jamal Warner.
And I'm still like so in shock this morning, Court
that that even happened. You were the one, yeah, yesterday
that sent me a text when it happened, and I
honestly didn't believe you at first.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, I got some I think I saw it on
social media variety and yeah, and then oftentimes you'll see
stuff on social media, and when I saw it, it
didn't feel real. So I went and found a credible
news source, which was in this case was Variety. Yeah,
and send it to you and I'm right there with you.
It's like one of those things where if you're a
child of the eighties, grew up in the eighties, watched
(18:00):
television in the eighties, Yeah, Malcolm Jamal Warner was it.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
He was the guy. He was the guy eight seasons
on The Cosby Show, playing, of course theo Huxtable from
nineteen eighty four to nineteen ninety two. That was right
in my wheelhouse at TV. I mean, that family like,
that show was so iconic. If you haven't heard, he
died yet Sunday in a swimming accident in Costa Rica.
(18:25):
He was on vacation with his family. There were two
guys that got pulled into the water by a wave.
I guess that happens a lot, sadly in that cove
that he was swimming in. He was brought to shore
with this other guy. They did CPR on him. The
other guy survived. Malcolm did not. And it's just like
it's only fifty four years old. Yeah, has a wife
(18:47):
and a daughter, and I mean, what a life he had.
After the Cosby Show, he became a director, He made music, videos,
He wrote poetry, he had a jazz album. Just a
really talented guy.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
What I loved about him is like you'd be watching
a TV show and he would occasionally show up because
he's done a lot of things that I don't think
people realized that. He was on a bunch of episodes
of The Resident, Yeah, most recently Missing Persons Unit. He
did like seven or eight episodes of Community, which is
a big popular sitcom.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, Dexter, which is.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You know, oh yeah, he showed up on an episode
and I remember watching it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I'm like, holy cow, it's the oh yeah, I know,
the poor guy. He'll always be known as it, but
I think he was okay with such a great role. Yeah. Well,
I was actually watching an interview that he did many
years ago, and I just wanted to share a quick
clip from that interview. That's my product achievement is being
able to have a post Cosby life, in a post
(19:41):
Cosby career and still have my head on as straight
as possible, you know, And I've had I've had such
a I've had such an awesome life. To your point, though,
you know, Cosby show was was it, and he he
was able to be a normal guy Yeah, after a
(20:03):
show of that magnitude, definitely a huge, huge loss. Yeah,
years after the Cosby Show, he said he was just
so proud of that life, you know, and he's got
peace of mind, he said, for me, I can't put
a price on that. So he will definitely be miss.

and see and there's always somebody arguing for against it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I never thought to do that.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, unfortunately that is not the answer we're looking for today.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
All right, Sue, have a good day, you too, Bye bye,
Cedric and San Mateo. What do you think The answer is?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Pizza delivery.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Pizza delivery. If only thirty four percent or tipping, it
feels low. It feels low. That could be very bad.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
The big debate on the pizzas is do you tip
percentage wise or do you tip per pizza? I try
to tip per pizza. Oh, you do a couple of
three or four bucks per pizza?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
No way, I've never thought about that.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Forty dollar pizza. You get like three or four dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yops. Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I always tip percentage wise now, which probably benefits the
delivery drug for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
They prefer the percentage.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I'm sure I get tipped care of my job for
the pilots and attendants taking them back and forth. Yeah,
they give us tips.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
You're transporting flight attendants and pilots from SFO to their hotels,
the down south to the hotels yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I always try to tip my like if I'm on
a shuttle, and especially if they're helping you bring your
luggage in and out.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, you gotta exactly exactly is he right? He is
not right? What's the correct answer?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Thirty four percent of adults say they tip their babysitters.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh, the babysitter.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
That makes sense. Yeah, about that, because usually you just
pay an hourly rate and the kids the babysit are
happy just to get twenty bucks or maybe it's like
one hundred by now. But back in the day, it
was like the amount parents are paying for babysitters is
a lot. They need that tip.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Plus.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I think we always tried to tip a little bit.
It wasn't like a huge tip, but we always would
round up whatever their hourly rate was.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
We always rounded up to something nice. Oh that's nice.
Kids are easy to they're happy. Five extra dollars. Yeah,
that's cool, all right, Cedric. Well, thanks for calling. It's
great to hear from you. You too, I have a
really stupid question asked. There are no stupid questions. Well,
let's here at first, two people still use babysitters, And
(03:08):
I only ask this because my nephews and my niece.
I never hear about babysitters coming to the house. And
back in the day you couldn't wait to be old
enough to babysit for your neighbors or you know, your
neighbor's kid or whatever. I never hear about it. And
I have young kids in the family.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, they're at a certain age, they're old enough, and
if they're mature enough, then you don't have to have
the babysitter with them.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yes, and I think they're I don't know what. There's
like an age, there's like a cutof the baby.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I think I think California has an age in which,
like it's against the law to leave a kid home
if they're under that age.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
On like ten or eleven.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I'm the wrong person and somewhere in that range. Yeah,
I know my daughters, Both of my daughters regularly babysit. Oh,
they do still a lot of My wife and I
rare would hire like a fourteen or a fifteen year
old to babysit. We typically liked the older, older, little
more mature. Course, if not, like college students, college student
(04:10):
babysitters the best you're paying, you're paying more for it. Yeah,
but it made us feel more comfortable.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I agree, I would be in the same camp. That's
a great question. No, it's not a great question because
kids are still kids, and they still need someone to
watch them when when mom and dad aren't home. But
I just never hear about it, even within my own family,
and that's why I brought it up. But I knew
you would know. All right, it's the Morning Breeze brain
teas we play every weekday morning at this time, at
six twenty. I want to tell you quickly, both of us.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Do want to tell you about a new program we're
launching here at the Breeze. It's Ihearts Radios. Think a
Teacher where you get a chance to nominate and an
outstanding public school teacher in your life that is going
above and beyond.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, and it is iHeart Radio. By the way, Ihearts Radio.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I hurts whether there's a it's a company here, there's
a there is anyway?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Sorry, is there? I don't see, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I put the s earlier. I Heeart Radios, Thank a Teacher,
powered by donor's choice. Yeah, it's it's just our company name.
But it's great.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, So we are looking for an outstanding public school teacher,
somebody who goes above and beyond for their students. We
all know that teacher that does amazing things, and we
are going to take your nominations. They will be entered
to win five thousand dollars to stock their classroom with
whatever they need.

own money in order to have all the supplies they need.

Yes, so we're going to help you out with the
five thousand dollars. Absolutely, get your nominations. In ninety eight
one The Breeze dot Com the birthrees Love Love Love
Whitney Houston, I Will Always Love You. Six forty two
Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and it is time
for the more you know, a little nuggetive info to
(05:55):
make your day a bit brighter and dare I say,
Court a lot more interesting? That's right, all right, that's
why we do it. Talk to us.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So Americans, we pride ourselves in being good at a
lot of things, like we claim to think that we're
the best at, say technology, for sure, the best movies
are made in the United States. Well, one thing Americans
are not good at is taking vacation.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh totally.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Americans take less vacation than their peers in other countries.
I believe that significantly. A lot of it has to
do with the fact that we're one of the only countries,
especially the only big country, where it's not required by
the government for employers to it's like mandated vacation time.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
We don't have to take it. In other countries, the.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Jobs have to provide vacation to you. That doesn't happen
in the States. So if you're getting vacation days in
the United States, it's just because your employers are giving
it to you.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It's not mandated by the government.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But even still, when you have vacation, half of US
workers do not take their vacation days the ones they
actually have.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, I've got a stack vacation days.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, and maybe you fall into this category. And research
as have found there's a reason why Americans don't take
their vacation days. It's called vacation guilt. Oh you feel
like a slacker if you're taking that vacation.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Oh wow, Well, I think our situation is different because
if I take vacation, you're on your own and it's
your life harder. Well, you feel guilty. Don't have to
worry about me, have to like come up with everything.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
A thing.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
You have to sit where you sit and make see.
Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that, not us, not our listeners. No.
But seriously, here's the other thing I'll say about vacation
and what I've read about Americans with vacations, I think
more than any other country, when we finally do go
on vacation, we take our work with us, right, We
don't totally unplug. How many times have any of you
(07:57):
gone on vacation you're like, let me just check my anmail,
because sometimes it's easier to just do the work while
you're on vacation because when you come back then you
just it's just easier to come out. I'm here to
tell you it's not healthy. We got to stop.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We need to step up as Americans and take those
vacations and not give a darn.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
When was the last time I went on vacation. It's
been a long time, right, Like a long time. You
need to take a vacation. Are we doing this so
I could like a plan a vacation.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
This is me prompting you, Carolyn mccardial, to take a vacation.
You gotta vacation and don't feel guilty about it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh I feel bad. I gotta do it. Okay, But
that is interesting. I love that, and that is exactly
what the more you know is these are things that
we tell you every weekday morning at this time at
six forty, and they kind of stick with you for
a minute. Or you go to work and you tell
everybody at work like, hey, you know what, we're terrible
at taking vacation, and Court and Carolyn we're talking about
this now. I'm going to book a vacation. Everybody go

Speaker 1 (09:50):
And this morning we're talking to Daniel in San Bruno.
So you had something fun happen over the weekend. That
was a great family moment. What happened?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I just went to the California Gaming co Invention just
by chance. My wife wanted to go to a craft
fair and next door was a classic gaming convention in
Santa Clara. We went with my ten year old son
and I just figured, wow, just take them, pull them
out of the house and get them away from mindless
doom struggling on YouTube. And we met a game developer
(10:20):
and ten years ago he created a game called Killer
Queen that him and his buddy was just was talking
about how they missed the good old days of arcades
and how they would make a friend from a complete stranger.
And so him and his friend made this game, and
you need ten people to play it. And after ten
years of making this game, people have become lifelong friends.
(10:43):
They've met their spouses, they have kids, they got married.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
My son.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I couldn't pull them away from the game. We were
there all weekend. We only supposed to be there for
a couple of hours. I can't time for my wife
to go to the Yeah, it was a crazy thing.
They killed time for my wife to go to the
craft fair. But in my son made friends, he had fun.
We stayed there until he passed out in the car,
(11:09):
you know, and then we went back to Mexico.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I bought a chair. I sat there.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Wow, it was it was a wonderful experience. And it
was because they created a community from a simple idea
and it reached across generations.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That's really cool. I mean, I think video games sometimes
can be so isolating. I'm speaking from experience, like playing
when I was a kid growing up. What is just
you in a video game console? But everything's so advanced
these days, and they make it like that where you're
playing with a community that look at that, Look what
happened to your day? That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, when when the game requires ten people to participate
and you're automatically you've got a community built in that
is so neat.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, it was just by chance, and it was just
by sure luck, and it brings me hope for a
better tomorrow because people are getting together and they're working
towards a common cause and making friends.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
What I love about this story is that you your
wife was going to the craft fair and there was
something else happening at the convention center that you were
able to go to piece paid in. Because I can't
tell you the number of times I've gone to my
daughter's dance conventions and their performances and I'm looking around
the convention center, I'm like, oh, I can go check
this out, like I'm at a yarn festival.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
But it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
The best thing happens by chance. You just get out
there and I think people forget that because everyone, all
the kids, they just stay on.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Their little like iPads and iPhones.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And they scrow them and they think the world is
through a.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Screen and it's not. I think one of my favorite
parts of the story, though, is when I heard you
say I just went and got a chair.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I I just sat there and I read the news
on my phone and I listen to you guys every morning.
I even listen to you on the app. I got
my kids listening to you guys. My son, who's a
ten year old, says like, I love the breeze and
then we sing eighty songs in the card.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Is cool. I love that. Well, thank you. We really
appreciate you. Listening means a lot, and your son we you.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You guys make our life better.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Keep up the good work. Such a nice phone call, Daniel.
Thank you again. And if you've got a brighter side

into it. It is ask us Anything. We do it

(14:01):
Really nothing is off limits. Call us, send us a
talk back with our iHeartRadio app. However you want to
get in touch with us, we will answer whatever question
you have.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, Sondra actually chose to reach out via instant message
on Facebook, so that's how we got this one. Sondra
in Redwood City says, Hi, Carolyn in Court. I'm not
sure how much TV you watch, but I'm curious to
know if you could be on a reality TV show,
which one do you think you'd be the best fit
for or which one would I'm interpeting that.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Is, which one do you really really want to be on? Yes?
What would yours be?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I love those survival type shows, not Survivor. I I
do not want to be on Survivor. I want to
be on something like there's one that's been around for
a few years called Alone, where they send a bunch
of people into the wilderness. And they just have to
live and survive by themselves.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Are you talking about Naked and Afraid?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well that's no, that's not Naked and Afraid. Okay, but
it's similar called alone alone, your one alone. You get
to wear clothes okay, and they send you out in
the willerness. But since you bring it up, and you
probably bring that up because you also know I'm a
huge fan of Naked and Afraid.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No I didn't, but I like that show. I want
to be on that show. You Court, Court, what the
bug bite situation I have with Naked and Afraid is
not good?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I know.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
In fact, I have a friend who has been on
multiple episodes of Naked and he always gets He always
gets sent home because of some because of an infection,
some infection he gets and he gets horribly sick, but
they keep having back.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
He's a great character. I would, Oh my gosh, that
says a lot about the show. I would only go
on Naked and Afraid to lose weight, because you don't
eat for like a million days.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
There's definitely healthier ways to lose that weight. I've thought
the same thing, Oh my gosh, But yeah, I would
either be alone or Naked and afraid.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
What about you. I would do The Amazing Race or
one of those shows. I would like to do a
show with an athletic component, but you have to use
your brain as well, Like that's the smartest and like
you know, physical Like I would love to do that
where I could do it with somebody where it's like
a team getting through and completing a competition. Yes, that's what.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I don't mind the team part. I just don't like
the scheming that happened. That's why I don't like. I know,
Survivor is like wildly popular, It's been around forever. I
just I don't like the scheming, the backstabbing that takes place.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh I do so wow, I'm kidding. I'm kidding, but
I would still be on it. Okay, all right, that's
a great question. Who was that, Sondra tra thank you.
That was a great one. That's a great example of
how ask us anything works. So if you've got a
question something you want us to answer on the air,
and we'll even have you on with us eight seven
(16:43):
seven nine eight one nine eight one, you can message
us like Sondra did. You could send us a message
with our iHeartRadio app, the talkback Mike, that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And we highly encourage you to stick around because coming
up later in the show, as you begin your workday,
let's say around eight fifty, we're going to give you
ninety eight minutes commercial free.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yes, we do this every weekday morning. A great way
to start off your day in the office, you're working
at home, you're driving the kids around, whatever the case
may be. We are commercial free and we think you're
gonna love it. Ninety eight minutes. We'll do it at
eight fifty on the Breeze.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
It's the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Court and hollanoates
at eight oh nine.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't want the morning to go by any longer
without us addressing what happened yesterday with Malcolm Jamal Warner.
And I'm still like so in shock this morning, Court
that that even happened. You were the one, yeah, yesterday
that sent me a text when it happened, and I
honestly didn't believe you at first.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, I got some I think I saw it on
social media variety and yeah, and then oftentimes you'll see
stuff on social media, and when I saw it, it
didn't feel real. So I went and found a credible
news source, which was in this case was Variety. Yeah,
and send it to you and I'm right there with you.
It's like one of those things where if you're a
child of the eighties, grew up in the eighties, watched
(18:00):
television in the eighties, Yeah, Malcolm Jamal Warner was it.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
He was the guy. He was the guy eight seasons
on The Cosby Show, playing, of course theo Huxtable from
nineteen eighty four to nineteen ninety two. That was right
in my wheelhouse at TV. I mean, that family like,
that show was so iconic. If you haven't heard, he
died yet Sunday in a swimming accident in Costa Rica.
(18:25):
He was on vacation with his family. There were two
guys that got pulled into the water by a wave.
I guess that happens a lot, sadly in that cove
that he was swimming in. He was brought to shore
with this other guy. They did CPR on him. The
other guy survived. Malcolm did not. And it's just like
it's only fifty four years old. Yeah, has a wife
(18:47):
and a daughter, and I mean, what a life he had.
After the Cosby Show, he became a director, He made music, videos,
He wrote poetry, he had a jazz album. Just a
really talented guy.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
What I loved about him is like you'd be watching
a TV show and he would occasionally show up because
he's done a lot of things that I don't think
people realized that. He was on a bunch of episodes
of The Resident, Yeah, most recently Missing Persons Unit. He
did like seven or eight episodes of Community, which is
a big popular sitcom.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, Dexter, which is.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You know, oh yeah, he showed up on an episode
and I remember watching it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I'm like, holy cow, it's the oh yeah, I know,
the poor guy. He'll always be known as it, but
I think he was okay with such a great role. Yeah. Well,
I was actually watching an interview that he did many
years ago, and I just wanted to share a quick
clip from that interview. That's my product achievement is being
able to have a post Cosby life, in a post
(19:41):
Cosby career and still have my head on as straight
as possible, you know, And I've had I've had such
a I've had such an awesome life. To your point, though,
you know, Cosby show was was it, and he he
was able to be a normal guy Yeah, after a
(20:03):
show of that magnitude, definitely a huge, huge loss. Yeah,
years after the Cosby Show, he said he was just
so proud of that life, you know, and he's got
peace of mind, he said, for me, I can't put
a price on that. So he will definitely be miss.
