0:00My name is Shannon Maldonado, I'm the founder of Yaoie, a gift shop from the lens of artists and handmade objects. I chose Shopify because when I was testing other platforms it was definitely one of the most user friendly. It was important to me to think about where we would be in the future. All of the tools for reading your sales like planning inventory, you're just right there on your dashboard. For anyone starting a small business, the biggest thing I can tell you is it doesn't have to be perfect. Shopify can help you build upon it. Start your free trial on Shopify.com. So much Friday morning gossip to talk about. Teetown with Savannah on Kiss 95. Seven starts filling it. This is so wild. Harry Styles is opening up about how fame actually affected his personal life and how one girlfriend helped change that. So Harry sat down for a chat with believe it or not. Radiohead's Tom York and they talked about running into each other while walking around in Rome and as we know Harry loves to walk around because we always see him around New York City. But I guess it wasn't always that way. In the early days like when I was in the band and stuff so much of the like hotel experience felt very like locked in. It felt like there was

1:09this like oh it's not safe for me to like be out in some way. That makes sense. But then he meant someone that changed all that. He had a super outgoing girlfriend and when she came to visit him in London he was like oh we just can't stay in my house for the three days up there here. So they started walking around everywhere and he said it really helped him realize that he could actually go outside and experience the world without being unsafe. Now he didn't say who the girlfriend was. So was it an ex? Was it his current fiance Zoe Kravitz? The world may never know. But Tank Migrate is giving us a little behind the scenes look at that viral gold moment from Mala Ballusa. You know the one where she was literally dripping in liquid gold? Yeah that one. According to Teet, not nearly as glamorous as it looked. She said that the stuff literally felt like slime and she's like I'm in a bathtub trying to rub this stuff all over my body before I have to literally crawl out of this bathtub. Definitely not feeling super cute but here's the crazy part. It took 660 gallons of this liquid to pull off the whole thing and yes it did come from the same company that makes Nickelodeon

2:11slime so definitely doesn't seem like a great experience. And we'll wrap up this morning with Taylor Swift. She's getting ready to take the stage again. She's going to be performing at this year's Academy Museum Gala in LA. It's going to be going down October 17th and she's going to be closing out the whole night. This year the event is going to be honoring Coleman Domingo and Charlize Theron. But the galleries is money to support the Academy Museum's exhibitions, educational programs and public film screenings. Now this really makes sense for Taylor right now because she's been leaning a lot more into the visual arts. She just released herself directed Patience Zero Music video. She took home the MTV VMA for video of the year and she received the inaugural artist director honors this year. If you want to get more on this or any of these stories I got you kiss 957.com keyword Savannah and until next time the best tea is the kind you can't sip. It is kiss 957 joining us right now on the phone. Mike crispy know the voice of you come football on Fox Sports Radio 979 Mike what's going on how are

3:14you? Yeah, doing well man we got a big one against temple on Saturday in Philadelphia. We're playing at Lincoln Financial Field where the Eagles play. So we expect a great crowd. It's homecoming for the owls and kind of a rivalry game over the years temple and you kind of played 21 times before this. Temple's got the best of it 147 but Yukon won the last time they played in 2024. They need it. Huskies need this one badly to get back to 500 at three and three. Yeah, I was just going to say it's a must win if they want to have that three and three record Mike. What are some things that we can look for during the game? Well, Caleb Osborne the Yukon quarterback is 30th in the country and total offense. He's really producing quite well. He's 19th in the country among quarterbacks rushing the ball. So you know for over 250 yards total and he's accounted for 15 of them points 15 highest

4:14points I should say in the country. Wow. He's accounted for 90 points. So he's been a big part of Yukon's offense. We need him to have a good day. The Yukon Huskies taking on temple tomorrow 345 Lincoln financial field. What can we look for unlike the defensive side? I always ask, hey, what can we look for on the offensive side of the ball? What about the defense for Yukon football? Well, they've done a good job, Jeff, of stopping the run and temple runs really well. So Yukon's 35th in the country stopping the rush. They got to do that. KB on Sherman. Their linebacker has been phenomenal for Yukon. He's got three sacks, six and a half tackles for laws. That's 27 in the country. He's forced three fumbles. He's got to have a big day. Otherwise, temple will just run the ball all day and control the game. Yukon's going to take that away from them. And if they do, they'll come back here three and three and go into the by week all even in 500. Nice. And that's what we want. Definitely. Yeah, Yukon taking on temple Saturday afternoon. Michael, everyone know where to listen to the game. 97 nine Fox Sports, the varsity network app and the iHeart

So like, you know, me and Ariana, I mean, we had a great time together. Yeah. We went out to the big E. Just had like a perfect day.

7:30You know, hanging out the fair. Man, we played a play games. We shared a lot of great food. You know, it's fine out some new stuff and just, you know, spent the whole day exploring around the fair. Okay. I love the video. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Did you buy chance? Have their giant corn dog? Because that's my favorite. Yes. Okay. No, we got one. We split it because it was okay. Okay. You didn't do anything weird with the giant corn dog. Did you? I mean, it didn't get that far. Let me tell you. Okay. Good. That's a good thing. At the end of the day, I mean, honestly, like you kind of tired at the walk around the fair all day. You know, so we went out different ways and it's all good. Okay. They had a great time though. And since then, I've called her at left her message. You know, wanted to get back together with her. But I'm not here from her man. She still goes to me. Oh, okay. Wait, wait, wait. He sounds like a great guy. He does. He does. But hold on.

8:34Walmart Jeff calls this walking around food. There's a lot of walking around food at the biggie. Did you happen to be a messy eater? It was all over your face. It was dripping on your clothes. Where are you that guy? No, I mean, I was pretty, uh, yeah, I'm pretty careful with my food. I, if I'm going to pay that much for food, I don't want to go in my mouth. I'm on my shirt, you know. Hey, man, hey, man. All right, Drake, we're going to call Ariana. We're going to ask her to be honest. If you're ready to find out why she's not returning your calls, uh, we're going to get down to it. It sounds good. He sounds like a great guy. How did we know, Jeff was going to make the corn dog joke? Like how did we know? I didn't though. I didn't make any jokes. He didn't. There should be no comments in the comments section about me making inappropriate jokes with corn dogs. Hello. Hi, is Ariana there? Yes. Hi. Hi, Ariana. It's Courtney. Hey, what's up? It's Walmart. Jeff. Hey, it's Savannah. Ariana, I have to tell you, you're on the radio this morning. You're on Kiss 957.

9:35Oh, okay. Hey, um, you're on second date update. Somebody goes on a first date and they have a great time but they get ghosted and don't get a second date. We try to get some answers. So I just going to be honest, Drake called us. He said that you guys went to the biggie and had the best first day. You did all the things. You walked around. You ate the food. You played games. I'm like, he thought it was like, you guys had a connection. Yeah. I mean, it's fun. Okay. He's like, he's not boyfriend material. Okay. Okay. He's not, you're going to have to tell us why he's not boyfriend material because for me, taking some to the fair, especially that fair. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Doing all the fair things. I feel like that's born. That's boyfriend. Yeah. Well, you know, the whole thing just proves like on athletic and also financially irresponsible. How on athletic, you're out of fair. Yeah. Like what was he? Did you did you enter

10:35been some sort of strong man contest or like the military pull up contest? Carving, carving wood with a chainsaw. Like, why would you say he's on athletic? Well, I mean, he literally spent an hour trying to win me a teddy bear at this like really easy game that toddlers were winning. Toddlers were coming and nailing it, winning a teddy bear. And he was standing there for an hour trying to do it. They spent $150 trying to win me this teddy bear, which he never won. So like, wait, no, I don't want to date someone who can't. Oh, come on. That's ridiculous. And also spend $150 on it. Ariana Drake is there. She's ghosting you Drake because you spend $150 trying to win her a teddy bear. That is absurd. That's ridiculous. What a crazy reason to go somebody. Well, I just, just not for me. I don't know what to say. It's funny. Look, I mean, come on. I was just trying to do something nice for you. You know, we're at

11:39the fair. I mean, I treated you to the fair. I'm taking you around. I mean, like you said, you thought the teddy bear was cute. I was having fun playing the game. I mean, good, that's ridiculous. Really. We're both having fun at the moment. You know, every shot that I took, you know, it was all like you, you would kiss it. You kiss the ball for luck. And then, I mean, like, come on. It was a fun thing. It was a moment, you know, I feel like it's cute. Like, it was 15. Yeah, it was fun. Go for an hour. It's like, well, this is terrible. All right. You wasted an hour. Your life. Well, I stopped picking him apart. I think it's fabulous that he wasted an hour and $50 playing a game trying to be chivalrous and winning a teddy bear. I'm scared of fair. What is wrong? I mean, I was saying, was it really an hour though? Does it really take that long to play the carnival games? You know, I mean, honestly, like if it think about it, okay, if it did take an hour, like those, those places would never make any money because it was standard a whole day. Unless, unless you're one. Maybe 10 minutes with 150 bucks,

12:43they see you. They're like jackpot. There's a one case savings. There's a straight. Yeah. I was even, you know, honestly, I spent so I, I, I, I, I'll admit it has been a lot of money in that game. I was even going to ask the guy if he just let me buy him from all my. Probably would have been a joy. Okay. Ariana, is there, is there any world in which you would go on another date? Are you just feel like it's just not a match at all? Listen, I don't want another date, but no games. Okay. Okay. I think that's fair. Drain, now we have to ask Drake. Drake, knowing that she didn't call you back because you couldn't win her a teddy bear and you spent too much money trying. Would you like to go on another date and say if you guys can make this work? I mean, obviously I don't want to go back on another date with her. All right. So here's the deal. We are going to set you up on another date, but we're paying for it. Okay. We're going to pick up the tab. I suggest go to dinner, sit down, have a good conversation. Yeah. Just stay away from Dave and Buster. So

13:43perfect. Hey, sounds good to me. All right. Then I'm going to put you on hold, give you the all the scoop you need to know for the for the gift card because we're going to pay for the date. Hold on. Connecticut's showing up on another list, but this time it's an interesting one. It is Kiss 95 seven. That's your good news, Savannah. Yeah. So somewhere on the interwebs, I have found the list of the top 10 most Botox obsessed state. No, no, no, spoiler alert. Connecticut's on the list. See, that's a one thing I should have done for that big award thing that we just went to is like Botox and I didn't do it. Look at the wrinkles. I know, but I mean, you look great in studio talks. I love Botox. I'm all about I haven't had it in a really long time, but Connecticut coming in at number 10 on the list. Wow. I'll go through the top five to guys want to guess what came in number one. Massachusetts. Like when at everything. Okay, Jeff. I'm going to say either California, New York. Okay. Well, Massachusetts came in number five Courtney. Wow. Florida rolling at a number four. California taking spot number three. Oh no. Colorado second place. And the

14:45most Botox obsessed state is New York. No way. Well, okay. I can see it. Yeah, New York City. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I've got good news. If you want to take your Halloween to the next level, listen to this. All you get to do is get yourself a bloody bath mat. It's a new bath mat. It is out in stores now. Things start out looking like a plain white bath mat. You know, when you get out of the shower, that as soon as your wet feet touch the bath mat, it turns to bloody footprints. That's cool. That's horrible. What is with you and like this thing's changing bloody? What the bloody ramen on Wednesday? I know you got bloody bath mat. No, but people are doing this as jokes. They change out their bath mats and they don't tell their partner and then their partner gets out of the shower and they think there was like some sort of murder scene. Oh, I'd be so mad. They're feeding, bleeding. But if you want to take it to the next level, it'll cost you about 30 bucks. So look for it. It is out now. What March? What do you have for good news? This is actually like a real good news story. Some guy, 37 year old barber called 911 because he found 128,000 dollars

15:47sitting next to an ATM in Texas. Oh my god. Okay. Did you turn to the entire bag of money? Wow. He didn't take any firm self. Okay. He didn't keep the entire bag like I would have done. No. He turned it into 911. Did they give him some kind of reward? I don't know. They haven't yet. The police determined the bag blowing to Bank of America and praised him for returning every dollar. I said to Bankside, if it was a person, they would have given him a little bit. Since it's the bank, they're probably going to charge him. Yeah. They'll probably get you sort of like interest fee or something like that. But yeah, could you imagine finding that that's life changing money? And you're like, I'm going to turn it in. You know what I mean? You know what can be life changing? Have somebody else pay your bills? Yeah. Maybe your rent is due. You're in luck. We're going to pay your bills. All you have to do is listen to when a thousand dollars. It's coming up at 910. Gen Z getting themselves in trouble this morning. It is kiss 95 seven time for your vibe, Chex Savannah. So I guess there's some Gen Z phrases that other generations think come across as rude. Yeah. I definitely say some of these, but I don't say them with rude intentions. Yeah. I say

16:51it is like I'm being honest. I'm trying to help you. So let's go through some of them. Okay. Go ahead. It's not that deep. That is so demeaning and disrespectful to say to somebody. I agree. Really? I never say that to me. It's not that deep. I'll say to you, guess what? I'm going to make it deep in about 30 seconds. I think it's really rude. Okay. Okay. Another one. I'm not even going to respond to that. I say that all the time because I have friends that will like go on total like rabbit holes about so stupid things. And I'm just like, I'm not even going to respond to that. It doesn't bother me as much. She says that to me all the time. Yeah. All the time. She's a Gen Z or so. That's why I'm seeing if they're rude or not. Give me another one. This one's really funny. When someone's saying something about something that's going on in their day or something they've done, the reply is just lots embarrassing. Yeah. That doesn't bother me either. This one I say all the time because I'm very just blunt and straight up. I'm just being honest. I hear that all the time. Like if you ask me a question, I'm going to tell you the answer. I'm just being honest. Yeah. And this one I also say all the time and I probably said it on the

17:55air. You're doing way too much. That doesn't bother me either. It's just the first one. It gives me. I don't know why the first one bothered me so much. Well, like if you go to let's say Taco Bell Jeff, right? And they're out of the crunchy shell. Yeah. What a great thing. And you come in. You're having a mental breakdown. I'm like, Jeff, it's cool. Like it's not that deep. No, it really is. Like it really is. I almost was late to work because I was going to drive to another Taco Bell this evening. The end of Crunch wrap. Okay. It's really not that deep. Yachty Vodka and Crablakes. I like two of the three. And that's it. It is Kiss 95, seven time for your junk. I'm guessing you hung up on the numbers in Yachty. Is that a Courtney? Not a Yachty, but give me the Crablakes and vodka any day. So it's four to man versus the world. I find some news headlines that happened either in Florida or the world. Then you just have to tell me where they happen. It's simple. All these are listeners submissions. And Courtney, I'm actually bringing families together in Florida, man versus the world. Are you really though? I really am. The first submission is from Emma and her mother. She DM me this headline on Insta. Man arrested

18:56for kidnapping 27 people and forcing them to play Yachty for 36 hours. Did that happen in Florida or somewhere else in the world? You kidnap that many people in one go because you're at an old age home in Florida. And they like to play. I just stole the bus. Okay. I feel like I feel like I feel like it's a Florida thing. I don't know Savannah. What do you think? It's got to be. They had to be going to like publics or whatever. And this guy just hopped in the driver's seat of the old people blessed and just brought him to wherever they're playing Yachty. All right. You are correct. Yeah. So the publics right here we go. Might not have been public. The next headline comes from Beth Ann on Instagram. We've been arrested after adding vodka to holy water and telling to and telling the priest to relax. It's still blesses just harder. That happened in Florida or somewhere else in the world. It's not me. But I wish she instead of the priest relaxes not that deep. Yeah. Literally. I want to go. I don't know somewhere else. I'm going to go world. I'm going to

19:56say it happened like Bible Bell. Okay. Let's go somewhere else in the world. All right. You are wrong. Wrong. Happening in Florida. Where? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I have been in Florida. And the next headline comes from Julie and Susan on Instagram. Yeah. A lot of people see these headlines. I'm like multiple people sending to me. Just headline is woman banned from buffet after attempting to smuggle over seven pounds of crab legs in her woo ha. And that happened in Florida. Seven pounds in her woo ha. If Wal-Mart Jeff was a woman. Seven pounds of crab legs. Yeah. In her woo ha. Yeah. Did that happen in Florida or somewhere else in the world? I hope she do. She'll do. All right. Listen. I'm going to go Florida because I think Florida has a lot of crabs. But it also could be like the Carolinas. Savannah. What are you thinking? Ouch is what I'm thinking. Mid-Atlantic is known for their crabs. Yeah. Like the soft shell, blue crabs and stuff like that.

21:01Yeah. I feel like those are too big to have seven pounds. That's true. Yeah. Because when you get those, you're getting the whole crab. You're not just getting the legs. Yeah. Not Alaska. That's for sure. Yeah. World. I'm gonna say world. Let's go. You're going with world. That is correct. Yeah. You guys got two out of three rights. If you see these headlines, yes, Savannah. I was just going to say on today's episode of Deadliest Catch. Yeah. Where can you put the crab legs? I didn't see. I didn't eat crab legs again. If you find these headlines online, shoot me a DM on Insta at Walmart Jeff. We made it to Friday. You guys. Wow. What a week. Huh? Yeah. Yeah. It is Kiss 95. Seven lots of things happening this weekend. Uh, Freya Sky, Hartford Healthcare Ampitheater in Bridgeport tonight. And Freya is going to be at our I heart radio jingle ball in Boston, in New York. Yeah. She's killing her right now. They're calling her like the British Taylor Swift. I love it. So she's in Bridgeport tonight. But on Saturday, which is tomorrow, don't forget the Hartford Marathon is happening. Oh, yeah. Oh my gosh. That's right. It is coming up this morning, though. I got to say 925. I'll let you know

22:03all about the marathon, like where it starts. It starts from the capital. But there's gonna be a lot of road closures, like ramps, clothes and stuff like that. But just be on the lookout. Hartford Marathon is happening. Harvest Glow Festival still happening at the Connecticut Convention Center. You know, it's all everything fall. Yeah. The Hartford Wolf Pack kick off their season tonight. People's Bank Arena. So there's just a lot of stuff going on. And don't forget you can't football. Yeah. You can't football taking on temple tomorrow, 330. Uh, if you're driving around, you can listen to a game on Fox Sports Radio, 97. Zenials getting a lot of love online. It is Kiss 95 seven time for Savannah's Vibe Track. Please tell us what is what is a zenial? So we're called zenials or zilenials. And basically, it's a micro generation. Yeah. Between 93 and 98. So I'm 97. And I'm like, no, you know, you know how I always tell you guys that I relate to both millennials and Gen Z. Okay. Is that a zenial? That's what a zenial is. You're basically, you feel like you're too young to be core millennial, but you're also too old to be core Gen Z. So you're kind of stuck in this limbo where you

23:05relate to both generations. Cause like I remember landlines, I remember fax machine. I remember not being able to go on the internet the same time my mom was on the phone. But at the same time, I'm also into talking all the things that Gen Z does. So we're like this weird mishmash of the both of us identify as Gen Z. I just I really do. I feel like I identify with Gen Z. Yeah, I identify as single and ready to mingle. Let me run that one by my way. I get on and see how that goes. Come on. So Drake has been standing by through all of this. I don't know if he's a zenial. I don't know if he's Gen Z. But he did go on a first date. He's getting ghosted. And we're going to get him some answers. Second date update coming up next heads up. If you're headed in your heart for tomorrow, it is kiss 95 seven. I don't know if you know, but the Hartford marathon is tomorrow. I know it's crazy, right? They're saying over 11,000 runners will be running. That's crazy. I don't know how you do it. Yeah, I'm like 30 minutes on the treadmill. I'm tapped out. I'm dying. You guys are doing my goal. Yes, it's going to be it's going to be kind of like a scene tomorrow. Kicks off at 8 a.m. from the state Capitol. Did you know it goes through West Hartford? It passes

24:08through Elizabeth Park. It crosses founders bridge into East Hartford. Then through South Windsor and ends under the Memorial Archambusional Park. Yeah, 26 miles. Courtney. Wow. I mean, that is just wow. And don't forget lots of exit ramps will be closed. There's going to be road closures. But just a heads up 84 East exit 61 a in 62 a close at 7 30 tomorrow morning 91 south 32 B close 91 north 32 B close as well. Both of those tomorrow starting at 7 30 nice. And for the record, if Walmart Jeff and or Courtney was running the marathon, it would end at a bar. Yes, it would. I'm Sunday or Monday literally.
