Speaker 1: From Hollywood. Thank you for listening to us with Ryan Seacrest.
Speaker 1: It's Ryan's Seacrest and Sissany and Patty and Tanya and Sunshine.
Speaker 1: Highs in the low seventies, not nearly as windy, which
Speaker 1: is good news. We're also paying your bills in just
Speaker 1: a minute. We start that right away. Got some Notsberry
Speaker 1: Farm tickets and the Morning Hack is this hour? So
Speaker 1: many people are catching COVID right now. It is obviously
Speaker 1: it's so contagious. I've been through it all here and
Speaker 1: if you do, there are three foods they say you
Speaker 1: should eat to help, and I'll tell you more about
Speaker 1: that in a little bit. And they've also got a
Speaker 1: second date update. This couple met on hinge? What's the process? Tundy?
Speaker 1: You met on hinge? You met Robbie on hinge? One
Speaker 1: of the great success stories of hinge history. What is
Speaker 1: the process when you first meet someone on a hinge?
Speaker 1: How does that look? I mean it just looks like
Speaker 1: a text message essentially, or even like a d M
Speaker 1: on Instagram. You just because this guy saying he doesn't
Speaker 1: he's not chit chatty on it. Yeah, it just depends
Speaker 1: like some people like to chat on the dating apps
Speaker 1: for a while before they meet I r L. Other
Speaker 1: people like to do it quick, have a little bit
Speaker 1: of conversation, and then go meet up, So it just
Speaker 1: kind of depends on your preference. So I guess they
Speaker 1: went out and she's not responding. So that's what a
Speaker 1: second date update is all about, trying to find out why. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, we made the announcement yesterday that Patty is
Speaker 1: going to move on and pursue them for other dreams
Speaker 1: and endeavors. She'll be here till the eighteenth of February,
Speaker 1: but a lot of reaction pouring in because of your
Speaker 1: connection with people that you have created here. And it
Speaker 1: is true. Once you do this and you know this
Speaker 1: job or this platform, I guess we would call it
Speaker 1: it's just as it's a very intimate one because there's
Speaker 1: not a script, and it's really every day for any
Speaker 1: many hours and I don't know, it's it's unlike anything
Speaker 1: I've worked on for that those reasons too right, And
Speaker 1: I think because of that, when how do you form
Speaker 1: these friendships and relationships with people who listen, who may
Speaker 1: see something that that inspires them and you they want
Speaker 1: to call and say thank you and Lucy's in Ontario
Speaker 1: and Lucy go ahead, you around with Patty. Good morning everyone,
Speaker 1: Good morning Ryan, Patty. I am so excuttered that I'm
Speaker 1: on air. Um. You have no idea how inspirational you
Speaker 1: have been ever since I heard you a few years ago.
Speaker 1: One kiss of m Oh, my god, she's like Latina.
Speaker 1: She sounds more like me. So I did my research.
Speaker 1: I researched with There wasn't much out there on you,
Speaker 1: yeah back then, but I realized, oh my god, she's
Speaker 1: because I'm from Maywood. I grew up in Maywood, so
Speaker 1: I'm familiar. Yeah. So then I heard you, and then
Speaker 1: your story is so much like me, And we didn't
Speaker 1: have that much representation back then. We're starting to now
Speaker 1: where there wasn't like Mario Lopez and Eva Angoria. And
Speaker 1: then I hear you and you're like more like me.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh my gosh, I started following you.
Speaker 1: I believe in your story, your struggles, that I've gone
Speaker 1: through the same thing. I'm firstborn um, from Mexican American parents.
Speaker 1: And just the fact that you are there and Ryan
Speaker 1: gave you that opportunity, which we know that it's so
Speaker 1: difficult for people to believe in us and trust us.
Speaker 1: So I am so inspired with your story. I'm sad
Speaker 1: that you're leaving, but I'm so happy for you. I've
Speaker 1: even invested in your your whole um Little Liberals and
Speaker 1: Bob books because I'm a teacher, so I buy them
Speaker 1: and I read them for my to my students. So
Speaker 1: this is so awesome. I am so happy and excited
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, I'm really quiance. I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 1: You know. Being part of this show just didn't change
Speaker 1: in my life. I really think that it allowed girls
Speaker 1: like me to believe that they do belong in these spaces,
Speaker 1: in these platforms, without having to kid who they truly are,
Speaker 1: without having to assimilate. That's the word, assimilate, exactly, without
Speaker 1: having you here something else because of the shame that
Speaker 1: we have been taught to carry many times in which
Speaker 1: they have in Yeah, exactly. And that's what attracted me
Speaker 1: so much, because you're genuine, you're humble, and you you
Speaker 1: believe in your culture, and I believe in my culture,
Speaker 1: and we don't let society um or us to be assimilated.
Speaker 1: And that's so key. You're so right. I love you, Lucy.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lucy. Oh I asked me to Ryan, I
Speaker 1: love you too. I've been listening forever and in my dream,
Speaker 1: I always have this dinner that I'm gonna have a
Speaker 1: dinner like a picnic with you, Mario Opus, Allen the Rock,
Speaker 1: Patty something. And this is the first time I get
Speaker 1: on air, and I'm so excited. I'm so excited. Well,
Speaker 1: let me know when the picnic is you select Patty,
Speaker 1: Love you guys, love you, Lucy. It's so sweet, very
Speaker 1: very sweet. All right, you're that that's a big picnic
Speaker 1: she's organizing there. I'm just happy I got thrown in
Speaker 1: with those names on air with Ryan Seacrets. So let
Speaker 1: me get to this morning hack. It's a food hack.
Speaker 1: And look, I mean, in the past few weeks a
Speaker 1: large part of our staff got COVID. It is everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's good to be prepared. You may not have much
Speaker 1: of an appetite, but these are the top three foods
Speaker 1: they say you should eat. Yogurt soft cold, feels good
Speaker 1: on your It's not even a flavorthing, is a texture
Speaker 1: thing and feels soothing on your throat. But now for me,
Speaker 1: I don't like I don't respond well to dairy things,
Speaker 1: make noises, and so like yoga is a tricky one
Speaker 1: for me. There's different like the almond yogurt. I like that.
Speaker 1: I I can live with that. Ice Cream feels good
Speaker 1: on a sore throat. Ice Cream provide you the glucose
Speaker 1: and protein. My mom never told me that when I
Speaker 1: was a kid. Ice cream is really Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: good that's a good marketing boy. Impasta with s. When
Speaker 1: you start to feel better, the posta will raise your
Speaker 1: blood sugar gently and the meat bumps up your protect
Speaker 1: The COVID diet is good. Yeah, right, like getting it.
Speaker 1: It's not so good, but what doctors recommend you eat
Speaker 1: is not back Today's quote, be patient. Miracles take a
Speaker 1: little longer than settling does. On air with Ryan Seacrest,
Speaker 1: I had a one D fifty dollar Postmates gift card
Speaker 1: for you now at Kiss fm dot com. Keyword Postmates
Speaker 1: if you want to roll over there. Sisney's got the headlines.
Speaker 1: So Fiser and Bio and Tech have begun a clinical
Speaker 1: trial for their omicron specific COVID nineteen vaccine candidate. The
Speaker 1: study will evaluate the vaccine for safety, tolerability, and the
Speaker 1: level of immune response as both a primary series and
Speaker 1: a booster dose and up to about four hundred healthy
Speaker 1: adults ages eighteen to fifty five. The omicron specific vaccine
Speaker 1: will be administered as a thirty microgram dose, the same
Speaker 1: as the current vaccine in A new state bill would
Speaker 1: require all K through twelve students in California to be
Speaker 1: vaccinated against COVID nineteen in order to attend in person classes.
Speaker 1: State Senator Dr Richard Pan introduced the proposed legislation at
Speaker 1: our Lita High School yesterday morning alongside representatives from the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and San Diego Unified School districts. The bill
Speaker 1: would add the COVID vaccine to the list of required
Speaker 1: vaccinations for children attending school in person, and the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams are hoping there will be fewer San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty Niner fans in the stands at SOFI Stadium for
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game this coming Sunday. With a trip
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl on the line, the Rams are
Speaker 1: not taking any chances. Ticketmaster limited ticket sales to fans
Speaker 1: in Southern California by monitoring residency based on credit card
Speaker 1: billing addresses, but by eleven a m. Yesterday the notice
Speaker 1: had been removed. A source from the Rams said that
Speaker 1: the tickets are sold out. So that is why that
Speaker 1: policy is no longer in effect. Now if you want
Speaker 1: to still get tickets, you have to get them at
Speaker 1: resale websites. On air with Ryan secrets the Rams with
Speaker 1: a nail biter making it to the next round of
Speaker 1: them playoffs. The final four NFL teams l A, Rams,
Speaker 1: San Francisco Forty Niners, Kansas City Chiefs, and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: It's a big deal for the bank now. I remember
Speaker 1: when the Olympics came to Atlanta. Is the Super Bowls
Speaker 1: come in here? I remember when the Olympics came to Atlanta.
Speaker 1: People in my neighborhood rented out their houses for people
Speaker 1: who want to come to the Olympics. There was no
Speaker 1: Airbnb back then, but you could post for your house
Speaker 1: to be rented, and it was kind of a way
Speaker 1: people would leave town when Olympics were in town and
Speaker 1: rent out their path. Now for Super Bowl, is there
Speaker 1: a high demand for airbnb Stana? Oh? Yeah, people are
Speaker 1: coming in from all over and they're looking at air
Speaker 1: I was looking just kind of around and I had
Speaker 1: a friend of mine hit me up saying kind of
Speaker 1: just like where should I stay what's close by? Blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. And I was thinking, because I have my
Speaker 1: apartment that I'm not at very much anymore. I'm always
Speaker 1: at my boyfriend's house. I thought if I I thought
Speaker 1: I could put up my apartment for Airbnb the weekend
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and make bank because it's two bedroom,
Speaker 1: two bathroom. What's the downside? I don't really know legal
Speaker 1: if you're allowed to in an apartment complex, like if
Speaker 1: I have to ask my landlord, or like you have
Speaker 1: to ask your landlord because I think you have to
Speaker 1: be the owner in order to do that, or if
Speaker 1: I do it on the hush hush, do you is
Speaker 1: your is your apartment condo? Is it owned by an individual?
Speaker 1: Or is it the complexes? I don't know. I just
Speaker 1: know it's like an LLC that I make my checkout too, right,
Speaker 1: I think, look to me, the bank party is great, right,
Speaker 1: make some bank. You're not gonna using any empty The
Speaker 1: only thing is I don't know if like the wrong
Speaker 1: people end up sleeping under your roof for in your bedroom,
Speaker 1: then that energy is there. No, But I could make
Speaker 1: like I could make it a really cute vibe, Like
Speaker 1: I could make it you know, if you're whoever, whatever
Speaker 1: team you're in, I could I could decorate with some
Speaker 1: fun super Bowl. Uh, you know, I don't think that.
Speaker 1: I know you don't have to. Then I could raise
Speaker 1: the prices, like, oh my gosh, because you can have
Speaker 1: my experience in your own home. You can have my
Speaker 1: plays and I have a football stadium, uh charcuterie board
Speaker 1: that you can use, and I have you should put
Speaker 1: it all together in a little page. All right, That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I think it's a great idea. Michael
Speaker 1: and I have thought about doing this, but for the Olympics,
Speaker 1: because the Olympics are going to be so spread out
Speaker 1: all over Los Angeles, Like they're gonna have events here
Speaker 1: in the valley. They're going to be all over. They're
Speaker 1: even talking about using like the Harvard Westlake High School
Speaker 1: that's off of Cold Water candidates for the Olympics. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for an Olympic event. I mean all over. They're going
Speaker 1: to create all the park in the valley and that's
Speaker 1: going to be like a track over at Griffith Park
Speaker 1: that's going to be something for golf. Like it's gonna
Speaker 1: be all over Los Angeles. So we may be onto
Speaker 1: something I think you just got to We'll check with
Speaker 1: your landlord first, and then the other thing is are
Speaker 1: you okay with strangers in your room? And yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you get to pick like, I'm not just gonna
Speaker 1: rent this to some random I'm gonna, you know, have
Speaker 1: a little I'm gonna you do through like Facebook, and
Speaker 1: so it's like all their informations, they're like, no one really,
Speaker 1: you know, it's somewhat safe, but I don't know how
Speaker 1: comfortable I'm gonna feel about someone else in your bed,
Speaker 1: I know, into your mattress and think it's super Bowl weekend.
Speaker 1: You know that they're going to be in your bed parties.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Studio Cities at Studio City to Inglewood
Speaker 1: is still a long drive. No, it's a quick john.
Speaker 1: It's a quick jaunt over the freeway. You just don't
Speaker 1: throw that in the description. People don't know in Los Angeles. Okay,
Speaker 1: don't think about the negative stuff. We're just being pragmatic, Patty.
Speaker 1: We're just weighing options. Take it, jump and do it.
Speaker 1: I gonna get into what we call a second date update,
Speaker 1: which sometimes are just a disaster. Other times the disasters
Speaker 1: are good news because we we see this. It's just
Speaker 1: not there's no potential in this, in this relationship or
Speaker 1: this early connection. So Ben and Los feedless. All right,
Speaker 1: he's on the phone. Let me bring Ben in. But
Speaker 1: basically Ben went on Hinge. Is that the one you
Speaker 1: went on? Sure? He said, Uh, he has hinged it
Speaker 1: to win it, he said, I don't chit chat much
Speaker 1: on those things. So we scheduled at date zero is
Speaker 1: probably the best meet up I've ever had. At the end,
Speaker 1: I told her I wanted to see her again and
Speaker 1: she seemed down. But it's not responded. So let's see Ben.
Speaker 1: How you doing Ben? Hey good? How are you good? Thanks?
Speaker 1: So walk us through you You met Ellie? Is her
Speaker 1: name on Hinge? And where do you think this is
Speaker 1: taking the wrong turn? You know? I have no idea. Um,
Speaker 1: yeah I met her on Hinge. Um we decided to
Speaker 1: have a gay zero and um to the the Italian
Speaker 1: bar met am out of bar it's on Labre like
Speaker 1: in the Welsh area. It's hard to be a nice
Speaker 1: little place for us. And yeah, great, a great time.
Speaker 1: I mean, she's kit honey, and it seemed like she
Speaker 1: wanted to go on you know, an actual date, but
Speaker 1: I haven't heard what date zero? This is new to
Speaker 1: me is um? So a date zero is like you
Speaker 1: just go for one drink. It's one hour, no matter what,
Speaker 1: if you haven't you know, the time of your life,
Speaker 1: it's still just one hour. Um And then from there,
Speaker 1: you know, you decide if you want to actually go
Speaker 1: on an actual date. But now if it's going well,
Speaker 1: why can't I stay for an hour and a half.
Speaker 1: It's just a little bit, you know more, no strings
Speaker 1: attached there, Yeah, both sides. But after this date zero happened?
Speaker 1: What happened? I don't know. I mean I just haven't
Speaker 1: heard from her. I I text her and you know,
Speaker 1: no responses back, and I looked did the may We
Speaker 1: don't know what went wrong. Have you guys heard of
Speaker 1: this date zero concept before? Where two people go out
Speaker 1: on a date zero. They set a time limit and
Speaker 1: there's no pressure, and no matter if it's good or bad,
Speaker 1: you leave. I only recently found out because of Erica,
Speaker 1: but otherwise I would have not known. Like having all
Speaker 1: the rules are just like either it is or it
Speaker 1: isn't right, it's worth it. Most people just do that,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like you give him an
Speaker 1: hour on our first date? You meet up for a drink,
Speaker 1: say have dinner after you kind of you set the
Speaker 1: timeline without setting a timeline. All right, well here's Ben. Ben.
Speaker 1: We have Ellie on the line. Be very quiet, you'll
Speaker 1: be able to hear everything. But we want to find
Speaker 1: out what went wrong. Okay, okay, cool. So he says
Speaker 1: after this date zero, he said, I want to see
Speaker 1: you again, and she seemed kind of bummed about it. Well,
Speaker 1: what's interesting is that he said that this was his
Speaker 1: best meet up that he's ever had. This was his
Speaker 1: he was feeling good about this. Let me bring her in. Ellie,
Speaker 1: Good morning, How are you doing. I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing super well? Thank you very much. We are
Speaker 1: calling thank you for GREENI go on the air with us.
Speaker 1: We're calling you about a guy you met on a
Speaker 1: hinge named Ben. Does that ring a bell? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: do you have a second I do. So you mette
Speaker 1: him and then you actually met him, right, you guys
Speaker 1: saw each other? Yeah? Yeah, I'm just taking back from him. Sorry, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know him And what happened on the date? How
Speaker 1: was it? Well? It was it was good. Um, but wait,
Speaker 1: why are you guys calling me? Well? I know it
Speaker 1: makes very little sense, but we have we have a
Speaker 1: report that Ben liked you and wanted to see you again,
Speaker 1: but you were kind of unresponsive to that idea. Can
Speaker 1: can you elaborate? Um? Yeah, we we went out. We
Speaker 1: had a really good time. I just can't believe you're
Speaker 1: calling me about this. I know neither can we. But
Speaker 1: do you did you have a connection with Ben? I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: we had a really good time. But so, oh jeez. Um.
Speaker 1: So the thing is like, this might not be a
Speaker 1: big deal for some people, but literally, oh jeez, he
Speaker 1: calls his dogs doggies. Literally, he never said the word
Speaker 1: dogs ever. It was like, are you a doggie lover?
Speaker 1: What is the pictures of my doggies? Gotta get home
Speaker 1: and see the doggie? Oh my god? Do you know
Speaker 1: that sounds that sounds like such a trivial thing, but
Speaker 1: it is a little annoying. I don't love it. I
Speaker 1: don't love it like I it's cringe e. Weirdly, that's
Speaker 1: cringe e. It's it's the I you got the it's
Speaker 1: a little ick, right, that's like that's like when people
Speaker 1: it's like doggy daddy, it's all it could it could
Speaker 1: be shy. I can't right but now so so, but
Speaker 1: could you not look past that? Well? No, you know
Speaker 1: I might be okay for some people, but I just can't.
Speaker 1: It just can't move on okay much. You know, I's often,
Speaker 1: remember Ben is I often forget that Ben's actually listening
Speaker 1: on this line, Ellie, Ben is on the phone, and
Speaker 1: it has asked us to call to find out what
Speaker 1: went wrong. Clearly you have a good sense of humor
Speaker 1: about it all. But Ben, does that sound familiar the
Speaker 1: way you were talking about your dog. I mean I've
Speaker 1: always called him my doggies, you know. But can you
Speaker 1: tell us what you said exactly on the day about
Speaker 1: your doggies? Yeah? I mean it was like I said,
Speaker 1: d o the hour, and I just wanted to show
Speaker 1: her pictures of my doggies. And I didn't think anything
Speaker 1: of it. You know, I've been calling in my doggies
Speaker 1: for the last years. I've had many doggies. Do you
Speaker 1: have three? So you have the daddy to three doggies,
Speaker 1: the three doggies like your charm. Your charm is making
Speaker 1: it less icky for me. But it sounds a little,
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound I don't know. It strikes me the
Speaker 1: same money it's funny because your voice is so deep,
Speaker 1: so when you say doggies, it really does. It's powerful.
Speaker 1: But the more you say it, the more charmed I
Speaker 1: am by you too, Doggies, I don't. I was kind
Speaker 1: of cute, you know that. I was showing her, you know,
Speaker 1: my kids, my fur babies. But I guess not so. Ellie?
Speaker 1: Are you amused by any of this? Do you want
Speaker 1: to see Ben again? Look, it's fine. He'll find somebody
Speaker 1: that loves that. It's just not me. Really. You can't
Speaker 1: force this, Ben, if it's not meant to be. You know,
Speaker 1: there's somebody walking this planet that can't wait to melt
Speaker 1: when you say doggies. And that's how didn't make fun
Speaker 1: of her when she ordered Maria. You know, business and
Speaker 1: making fun with you of each other. No, it's not
Speaker 1: about that, all right? Well, Ben, the good news is
Speaker 1: back to you and your babies, and Ellie. Thank you
Speaker 1: for having a good sense humor and going on the
Speaker 1: air with us. Thank you, Ben, You're cute. You'll be fine. Thanks.
Speaker 1: I hope you find someone too, all right? Well, thanks guys.
Speaker 1: Good luck always ends awkwardly. It's strange the way he
Speaker 1: would say it. It was like it's sounds like on
Speaker 1: pay for I don't love it. But the way he
Speaker 1: said it became really funny. You know how he said that.
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's saying like d A W like
Speaker 1: do don wasn't into him? If she was super into him,
Speaker 1: she wouldn't care right, exactly, like we were more into
Speaker 1: him than she was. Exactly. Yeah. On air with Ryan Secrets,
Speaker 1: we made the announcement yesterday on the show that Patty
Speaker 1: is going to take on the next chapter in her life.
Speaker 1: She's gonna go pursue her publishing company and do other
Speaker 1: things that she's always a dreamt of doing. And Maria
Speaker 1: in San Pedro, you're on with us, Hi, Ryan, Um,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to call in. I'm so excited that
Speaker 1: I you know, it's so funny that I this is
Speaker 1: the first time I've ever been able to get through
Speaker 1: and it's to you know, say goodbye to Patty. And
Speaker 1: that means so much to me because I can't think
Speaker 1: of a better time to get on, because I mean,
Speaker 1: Patty is just so inspirational to me. I just love
Speaker 1: following her and all her work she's done. Um, she's
Speaker 1: just such a inspirational Hispanic like a woman that just
Speaker 1: unapologetically lived out her you know, her culture and her beliefs,
Speaker 1: and you know, just I've never seen someone like follow
Speaker 1: their dreams and pushed so hard to carry everyone with
Speaker 1: them like she just you know, she posts about investing
Speaker 1: on her page, she posts about what she does for
Speaker 1: her kids, and then she's you know, teaching parents and
Speaker 1: so kay to teach their kids Spanish with her little
Speaker 1: Libre's books and just everything she does to raise up
Speaker 1: her community. And it's just so inspirational. And she's inspired
Speaker 1: me so much for all the years that I've been
Speaker 1: following her and listening to your show that on the
Speaker 1: on one or two point seven is the first time
Speaker 1: I ever um, you know, came across Patty and then
Speaker 1: started following her on social media like I do you
Speaker 1: insist and basically everyone from the show, But um, I
Speaker 1: just I just wanted to say that, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: she she really has has I have a daughter myself, um,
Speaker 1: and I'm a I'm a single mom, and she's She's
Speaker 1: just shown me so much about how it's so many
Speaker 1: things are okay that we might because of how we
Speaker 1: were raised to to you know, sometimes and our our
Speaker 1: hispanic families teach us to assimilate more than to carry
Speaker 1: our culture because they're scared. And so I watching her,
Speaker 1: I'm just and so inspired that, like I, it's crazy
Speaker 1: to see that someone can talk that much about their
Speaker 1: culture and it's okay, like no one's gonna judge you
Speaker 1: for it, and you know the world will happily welcome you,
Speaker 1: because sometimes it doesn't feel like that. And so I
Speaker 1: just Patty, I, I can't believe that, you know, you
Speaker 1: came from so little and you've built this huge company
Speaker 1: with your books and everything you've done, and it inspires
Speaker 1: me to do so much. I grew up in you know,
Speaker 1: um housing projects and then moved on to Section eight
Speaker 1: housing and now after getting my degree and working really hard,
Speaker 1: I now work for the housing agency that provides the
Speaker 1: project housing for you know, Los Angeles, and I are
Speaker 1: in a good living from it. And I'm so proud
Speaker 1: to say that I came from you know, the bottom
Speaker 1: and was able to you know, work my way up
Speaker 1: to that because you can do it, and we can.
Speaker 1: We need to peach little girls and boys of our
Speaker 1: culture that they can do it as well. And you're
Speaker 1: one of the biggest voices in our community, and I
Speaker 1: love it. Thank you for being so loud and outspoken.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, you know for me. Growing up,
Speaker 1: I carried a shame of being hyphenative American, and I
Speaker 1: think being here and my purpose really, you know what
Speaker 1: became just me trying to heal little Patty became bigger
Speaker 1: than that. It was so much all the girls that
Speaker 1: sound like me. I don't ever have to carry the
Speaker 1: weight and shame that I carried for so long. And
Speaker 1: I don't think people will never understand it until they
Speaker 1: stand it or until they know, because they will never
Speaker 1: live it. And it's really hard. It's really really challenging
Speaker 1: to be an American and not feel that you're an American. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and only we can feel only we feel that. So
Speaker 1: my purpose became bigger been just me. It was too
Speaker 1: inspire my community. You've certainly done that, you really have,
Speaker 1: I mean, and I think you'll continue to do it
Speaker 1: now even more so, and you're going to have more time,
Speaker 1: and I just I'm so happy for you, Dad. I
Speaker 1: won't get to hear you in the mornings on my commute,

Speaker 1: Big hugs Maria. By Tanya, is it trending report? And
Speaker 1: you said, are we a Kim Kardashian when we start
Speaker 1: dating someone new? Or nah? You said knew or not? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because I am what what does that mean? Okay, I'll explain.
Speaker 1: So Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, they are the couple
Speaker 1: that we just cannot keep our eyes off of. And
Speaker 1: they recently went on a vacation to the Bahamas, and
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian was posting a lot of like bikini photos.
Speaker 1: Fans noticed in one of the photos that there was
Speaker 1: like a shadow of the person. Yeah, and that obviously
Speaker 1: was Pete Davidson's shadow. But that's like how forensic people
Speaker 1: are getting on all this whole romance. But there's something
Speaker 1: that we missed that she posted a while ago and
Speaker 1: we didn't even notice, and I was like, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm such a Kim Kardashian. I would totally do this.
Speaker 1: She posts this bikini picture on the beach and she's
Speaker 1: wearing a hat. You obviously can't really see what's on
Speaker 1: the hat unless you like zoom in and look, but
Speaker 1: she's wearing a P. And you know that's P is
Speaker 1: for P. You know, this letter of his first name.
Speaker 1: It could be for many things. It could be for
Speaker 1: many things. But it got me thinking and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm so that girl. When I start dating somebody, I
Speaker 1: want to wear their letter, like on a hat or
Speaker 1: I bought like when when I started dating Robbie, I
Speaker 1: got an R necklace and I got an R like
Speaker 1: I got R on everything that I could get my
Speaker 1: hands on, because I just thought it was so cute,
Speaker 1: you know, like have their initial on you. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, are you a Kim Kardashian
Speaker 1: or not. Does he Robbie your boyfriend, does he have
Speaker 1: a t No, he's very He's not a Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 1: I'm for sure not a Kim Kardashian. Yeah, I'm like mediocre,
Speaker 1: like maybe maybe not. Yeah, I think there may be
Speaker 1: a line, right, some is cute, but overwhelming is overwhelming? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I take things to the extreme. I tend to kind
Speaker 1: of just you know, go overboard. It's always like that
Speaker 1: line of just kind of like normal and then I
Speaker 1: kind of just like teeter over it. But I respect
Speaker 1: Kim's like nonchalant, cute little pie hat, you know, like
Speaker 1: it wasn't like the focal point of the photo. It
Speaker 1: was just kind of like a little easter egg right there.
Speaker 1: We have an anonymous caller on anonymous caller, good morning,
Speaker 1: Good morning. So I don't know what what it is
Speaker 1: you're calling for. Tell us Okay, it's kind of a
Speaker 1: weird situation. And I but I'd love your guys this
Speaker 1: advice about Okay, So, um, I'm married, I have a
Speaker 1: couple of kids. Uh you know, as we are all
Speaker 1: working from home. Um, but my kids home from school.
Speaker 1: They spilled an entire soda on my laptop and at
Speaker 1: that I'm just prefacing it so that you know, like
Speaker 1: why I was on my husband's laptop because I mind's react. Okay,
Speaker 1: So anyway, Um, I'm all my husband's up top the
Speaker 1: other day and like, I'm not a nosy rosie. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of ladies check their husband's phones and
Speaker 1: things like that. I really don't ever do that. Um. However,
Speaker 1: I was looking something up, I was googling something, and
Speaker 1: a bit of his web browsing history came up. You know,
Speaker 1: it just will come up sometimes if you put in
Speaker 1: the word and it's like matching another word on it.
Speaker 1: So I went and I clicked on a couple of
Speaker 1: the links and oh my god, it's so weird for
Speaker 1: me to even talk about it. Um, it was like
Speaker 1: foot websites where ladies, where ladies put up I don't
Speaker 1: really know what the what's wikifed wife is like Wikipedia?
Speaker 1: But for fee it's like they if you all celebrities
Speaker 1: and what have they got? Like they have like celebrity
Speaker 1: feet on this website? Are they really the person's feet?
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, like you're on it for sure, Ryan
Speaker 1: my feet? Yeah, anytime you post a picture of yourself.
Speaker 1: Let's say you're wearing sandals and it's like a picture
Speaker 1: that you posted on your Instagram. These get photos of
Speaker 1: my feet. No, let us cut out your feet and
Speaker 1: they'll put the feet on the page. Well, so what's
Speaker 1: a big concern. Well, I don't know if this is
Speaker 1: celebrity and so I don't think these are celebrities. I
Speaker 1: think these are just regular ladies that will take pictures
Speaker 1: of their feet or put you know, their feet in
Speaker 1: a compromising position. If you that's different website, are you No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm sure not on that one. I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like it before. And it was really is
Speaker 1: it like rated X and our stuff or is it
Speaker 1: just their feet or are you seeing other parts? It's
Speaker 1: just their feet, But there's if you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: think about it. If you see a dollop of of
Speaker 1: whipped cream on a toe, you you get what they're
Speaker 1: Is that what you saw? I clicked through a bunch
Speaker 1: of the photos that he had saved and it was
Speaker 1: really grows. Yeah, and I and I confronted him about it,
Speaker 1: you know, because we've been together a while, and I
Speaker 1: figured out what He was totally cool about it. He
Speaker 1: was like, it's not cheating, and I don't think that
Speaker 1: you should be upset about it. And I I think
Speaker 1: if you seek out something that's a fetish where you
Speaker 1: don't go to your partner and speak to them about it,
Speaker 1: and you know it's secrets, I don't think secrets are good.
Speaker 1: I don't think Look, I think many many people have
Speaker 1: stumbled upon something like this with their partners. Now the
Speaker 1: question is what do you do with it? Can you
Speaker 1: accept it? Or is it just too strange for you?
Speaker 1: Well that's what I I was kind of calling to
Speaker 1: get some advice about it, because I don't know what
Speaker 1: it's so weird? Would be weird? People are weird, right,
Speaker 1: I can't It's like foot. I can't even say the
Speaker 1: other word. Well, how could it be? It could be
Speaker 1: foot that because two feet they can't do that, but
Speaker 1: they can be around other body parts exactly. And what
Speaker 1: they're putting on it. If there's honey, I saw honey
Speaker 1: on a tone my spice up your relationship a little bit?
Speaker 1: Sounds fun. I mean, maybe that's what he wants. So
Speaker 1: maybe that's what you got to introduced into the bedroom
Speaker 1: with him. What's that great honey? The Manuka actually pack
Speaker 1: enough to hold firms. But you guys, really I do
Speaker 1: want I would be open to him bringing in like
Speaker 1: I think that. Like I said, I think partners should
Speaker 1: be able to talk about what they I don't think. Look,
Speaker 1: you have to judge your comfort level, but I think
Speaker 1: it is something that you've addressed with him, and now
Speaker 1: you should really find out what it's all about. But
Speaker 1: I'm not running away from it, are you, sissy? I am.
Speaker 1: It's a conversation we need to have. Yeah. Good, let's
Speaker 1: have it right and I'll be good luck. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Some people research things to keep their romance life warm,
Speaker 1: you know, and so I could see some creative research.
Speaker 1: Have you not ever googled some creative things to do? No,
Speaker 1: because I don't want that in my history. No, it's okay.
Speaker 1: It's like you're not looking up anything that is bad Google.
Speaker 1: But I've gone to stores that you have got the
Speaker 1: Book of a hundred one Way to Do. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: I have a book that's like three different It's a
Speaker 1: couple of diagrams, sketch drawings, and you can make it
Speaker 1: work with Ryan secrets. You know, you can't if you
Speaker 1: tried to get Chris Beck's or special k or Paul
Speaker 1: Newman's lemonade. You can't find it. Like a lot of
Speaker 1: things that you just take for granted being on the
Speaker 1: shelves are still not around. And there was an article
Speaker 1: this week about how the restaurant business has been so impacted,
Speaker 1: how schools are so impact I was reading about this
Speaker 1: one class that UM had a substitute teacher because their
Speaker 1: teacher was outsick. And then the next day another teacher
Speaker 1: was outsick. And there's some school districts up north UM
Speaker 1: they're asking parents teachers at this point. Yet, sounds fun
Speaker 1: as the student. Let's bring into Cole Lapping, who I
Speaker 1: does a program money Rehab when Nicole lappens podcasts and
Speaker 1: I heart Radio where we get your podcast? So bringing
Speaker 1: her in just curious. What is the forecast for actually
Speaker 1: in terms of one, things are going to be more
Speaker 1: regularly available and also tax seasons that time again things
Speaker 1: we need to know some new rules that might affect us.
Speaker 1: There she is, Nicole, How are you hi? Good? How
Speaker 1: are you guys? I'm so excited to have an inflation lesson? Yes, well,
Speaker 1: how do we even how do we start with the
Speaker 1: inflation lesson? Where should we begin? So inflation is stuff
Speaker 1: that you could buy before you can't buy now. So
Speaker 1: dollars that used to get you something will not get
Speaker 1: you the same thing. How much were movie tickets when
Speaker 1: we were growing up, and we were growing up, they
Speaker 1: were nothing? I mean right? And how much are they now?
Speaker 1: Well you can't even take a family to go see
Speaker 1: a movie these days, right, right? So like Tanya with
Speaker 1: her five dollars, baby Tanya, like transport her to today,
Speaker 1: and baby Tanya couldn't get into a movie, right, makes sense?
Speaker 1: So that's inflation. So it's what happens when there's not
Speaker 1: enough supply and then there's lots of demand. So that's
Speaker 1: what we're seeing with not a lot of supply, with
Speaker 1: all the supply chain issues going on, like all the
Speaker 1: boats that are stuck out there, and so that's why
Speaker 1: prices have to rise. So Tanya, you sell modern woman
Speaker 1: shirts right, correct? So ten let's say for easy math,
Speaker 1: there ten bucks, which they should be much more. You
Speaker 1: have a hundred people that want to buy that ten
Speaker 1: dollar shirt, and now you can't even get a hundred
Speaker 1: shirts anymore. So you have to raise your prices from
Speaker 1: ten dollars to twenty dollars, and you're still making the
Speaker 1: same amount, Like you have stuff to buy, puppy food,
Speaker 1: other things in your life, and you have to make
Speaker 1: the same amount, but everybody else is going to pay
Speaker 1: more for it. How our companies really our employers reacting
Speaker 1: to employees wanting to cover the cost of inflation and
Speaker 1: wanting more money for their jobs. Well, wages are going
Speaker 1: up as they should because stuff is more expensive. But
Speaker 1: a lot of people are freaking out about gas prices.
Speaker 1: Gas prices are actually not that much more if you
Speaker 1: adjust for inflation. I mean, it sucks at the pump
Speaker 1: right now, but if you you know, everybody has to
Speaker 1: raise their prices, so that's going to have to go
Speaker 1: up to and not a lot of people are driving
Speaker 1: as much, so there's not enough demand out there, which
Speaker 1: is another supply demand issue. There's gonna be a quiz guys,
Speaker 1: good way numbers. I start panicking. It reminds me of
Speaker 1: those days, uh, you know tax time. It seems like
Speaker 1: it's it's already here again. Um, what do we need
Speaker 1: to What are new rules now when it comes to
Speaker 1: the taxi? So do you guys have companies right now?
Speaker 1: You should focus on the ten ninety nights that should
Speaker 1: get out by the end of the month, so if
Speaker 1: you had any contractors out there, so the end of
Speaker 1: January is what you should focus on right now. The
Speaker 1: other stuff is, please don't claim your office as a
Speaker 1: deduction if you don't work for yourself. A lot of
Speaker 1: people are working from home, but just remember that could
Speaker 1: be a red flag. But if you do work for yourself,
Speaker 1: you can, you can, you can, but you have to
Speaker 1: be really, really careful. I've heard horror stories of audits
Speaker 1: where they'll come in and if you have like one
Speaker 1: thing that is personal, like if you have a dogbed
Speaker 1: or something in there, and then yeah, you get screwed.
Speaker 1: Got it? Okay, that's good advice. Anybody of a dog
Speaker 1: bed where they are you know, work we work for
Speaker 1: We work for I Art, So it doesn't apply necessarily.
Speaker 1: What about and we'll we'll take a break after this,
Speaker 1: But what about uh, products that are gonna be not
Speaker 1: on shelf, like simple things like cereals and tomato sauce,
Speaker 1: things that are a result of the supply chain back up.
Speaker 1: When do we think that's going to clear up? So
Speaker 1: here's what happened, like with the pandemic. It started from
Speaker 1: east to west, right started in Asia, and with the variants,
Speaker 1: it's going from west to east. So economists are talking
Speaker 1: about this thing called this bull whip where it's the
Speaker 1: supply chain issues are happening all over. It's not consistent
Speaker 1: right now, so you know, as far as consumers were
Speaker 1: probably not going to see stuff for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, guys, here's what we can control.
Speaker 1: We can only control one thing. What is that how
Speaker 1: much we spent? True? And also ourselves. Okay, so we
Speaker 1: can't control all these issues. We can't control inflation, we
Speaker 1: can't control supply chain stuff. So we can focus on
Speaker 1: our own money and what we can control. And I say,
Speaker 1: this is a great year to start investing because inflation
Speaker 1: is really high right now. I think it's going to
Speaker 1: come down. So typically it's around three percent. But the
Speaker 1: only way to compensate for that is to make more
Speaker 1: than three percent on your money. So right now, if
Speaker 1: you just put your money in a bank account, you're
Speaker 1: making what foks nothing, and so you need to make
Speaker 1: at least three percent in order to just keep pace
Speaker 1: with inflation. So I say, just keep it simple with it,
Speaker 1: index funds and chill. You can also Netflix and chill,
Speaker 1: but index funds are the easiest. Index funds are so romantic,
Speaker 1: aren't they? A checkout money? We have with Nicole Lapping
Speaker 1: on our podcast on our heart radio or get your podcast.
Speaker 1: Good to see you. Thanks for the class today, Yes,
Speaker 1: a plus for everybody. She really did a research. You
Speaker 1: knew about your branding and do you have a kiosk?
Speaker 1: Now you're selling the Yeah? Could you imagine if I
Speaker 1: had the kiosk, you're you're selling the merch? Remember h Q,
Speaker 1: that game that everybody was playing for a certain amount time.
Speaker 1: It took the world by storm. So now there's a
Speaker 1: new one, right sis, it's word About three million people
Speaker 1: are playing wordle. Myself included. I'm a little late, I'll
Speaker 1: admit it, but I'm now I'm on board just like
Speaker 1: everybody else. So it's an online game. Uh, and it's
Speaker 1: it's kind of just becomes part of your daily routine. Um,
Speaker 1: you get six chances to guess a five letter word.
Speaker 1: But the catch is that once you guess it's a
Speaker 1: you have to wait twenty four hours for the next word.
Speaker 1: So you can't get sucked in. You can't sit there
Speaker 1: and play for hours. This is a website, it's a website,
Speaker 1: so you just go so it's not an app. You
Speaker 1: don't have to download anything, you know, I'll have to
Speaker 1: create an account, you know, you just go to the website.
Speaker 1: And so when you get to the world Website website,
Speaker 1: it's you're gonna have like six rows of basically those
Speaker 1: of your six tries to try to guess the word
Speaker 1: of the day. It's a five letter word and you
Speaker 1: can start. So many people think that starting with the
Speaker 1: like the first word that has a lot of vowels
Speaker 1: in it will help, or words are letters that are
Speaker 1: constantly used, like S, S and T, S and rs
Speaker 1: could work. So then it tells you Green means that
Speaker 1: you have the letter in the correct spot. Yellow means
Speaker 1: that you have the letter but not in the correct spot.
Speaker 1: So then you kind of just keep guessing. So that
Speaker 1: was my word that I put in there from like
Speaker 1: a couple of nights ago, and the word was crimp,
Speaker 1: and so I started with crazy. I started with crazy
Speaker 1: and as c R was in there, and I was like, okay, good,
Speaker 1: But then I kind of just kept going to try
Speaker 1: to figure out what other letters were in there, and
Speaker 1: finally got it on my sixth dry So simple game
Speaker 1: It's a very simple game and then once you do it,
Speaker 1: you move on. And that's why I love about it,
Speaker 1: because we all are like, we all want that little
Speaker 1: escape right now from like the pandemic, from life, just whatever,
Speaker 1: and it's just a little bit of time. But this
Speaker 1: is still using your brain. My escape is like not thinking.
Speaker 1: I'm with you there, And I heard that this was
Speaker 1: created by somebody that was just out of boredom in
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Oh well, good for them, good for them.
Speaker 1: I like it. You just don't get hooked in like
Speaker 1: an endless cycle like you do on Instagram sometimes and
Speaker 1: you're like, well, that's true. It stops scrolling like this
Speaker 1: stops you and you're exercising your brain too, but not
Speaker 1: too much because they make you wait. Twenty four hours
