I just want to be part of it. Stephanie. Yeah. We all know that. So they're like, yeah, let's dance. I got to say though, I had a lot of beef with Zara Larsen's last Lush Life Dancer, Fabian. His outfit was great. He was giving the vibes, but he didn't really know the moves. Speaking of outfits, what about Cardi B's outfit? Oh my gosh. Yeah, that zebra print bodysuit to have like the bright fringe on it. Those ports heights were abused. If you want the highlights, you can get all the highlights from our I Heart Radio music festival on my blog right now.
Taylor Swift cheering on her husband Travis Kelsey last night at his game. She was there with her parents and her mother-in-law. She wore a chief's tank top. She flashed her ring and started yelling, that's my husband after he scored his first touchdown of the season. Yeah. Why are you shaking your head because they showed her so much? Oh, it was too much. You know what, it was even before the game. They like this big open with Nikki Glacier. It was there were Taylor Swift puns in there like it was just too much last night. I don't know. I think a lot Jeff, it has given football a boost. Oh, it has. A huge boost. It has. You're like, okay, we get a Taylor Swift goes to the game. Yeah, it's a true football fan. So can we just see the game? Saturday night Taylor and Travis celebrated his teammate Patrick Mahomes birthday at their restaurant 1587 Prime Steakhouse. And I've got those photos as well. Kiss 957.com slash Courtney. And this is just for Savannah. I know what a Haley Bieber fan she is. Haley Bieber debuted her fall hair transformation in a photo shared by her stylist unveiling her darkest hair color and like over a decade. It's like a deep chocolate brown.
She looks like a totally different person and she looks amazing. I feel like Haley Bieber could just like pull a Brittany and shave all her hair and still be stunning. It doesn't matter. She looks fabulous. You can see those photos and more in all of these stories. Kiss 957.com slash Courtney. Headed out for your first cup of coffee this morning. Good news for Starbucks fans.

That is my good news Savannah. What do you have? So fall hair is going low maintenance. Okay. Which is great. Here are some of the fall hair trends we're going to be seeing as far as cuts goes. The boyfriend Bob is having a moment, which is like between your chin and your collar bone, just like very easy to take care of.
Cloud bangs are replacing like full on bangs and face framing layers are back for color. Rich Brunette is huge for fall. Maple cinnamon is gonna be the red of the season and Jeff. This is for you. Okay. Blonds are going softer and more beige, calling it a mushroom blonde. Oh, yeah. So I'm getting my, I'm getting chocolate brown. My guy, Miles, this one. Chocolate brown. There you go. What's a cloud bang, by the way? Is that just not quite a bang? I'll show you off the air. Stop it. It's like a light feathered bang. It's easier. It's hard to work. You're so funny. I'm not even acknowledging you. Good news. This is actually a real good news story. Teachers and Providence got a huge surprise last week when New England Patriots quarterback Drake May paid off 54 wish list for teachers out there. Oh, no way. Yeah. The principal of the school kept this huge secrets. You had an emergency meeting with all the teachers and was like, Hey, quarterback for the New England Patriots just paid for all your like school supplies for the year. So they get a, they get to write down a wish list. Yeah. You know, I want for their classroom. Yeah.
You know, I'm like your friends will post, Hey, this is my Amazon wish list for like the classroom and stuff like that. That's what he did him and him and his wife, $15,000 donation. So yeah, congrats to all the teachers out in Providence. All right. Hey, while now with Nick Cannon, people's bank arena. Oh my gosh. If you want to go, you're going to be here. We got your tickets. Be listening to it. Coming up 740 on Kiss 95 seven Monday morning. It wasn't a total wash out the weekend anyway. Kiss 95 seven Courtney Savannah Walmart. Jeff, I had some good weather Friday. I mean, Friday and Saturday were a beautiful time to talk about the peaks of our weekends. All right. Walmart must already know my peak because I sent him a video. My peak was I went paddle board fishing with my friends. That's pretty cool. Yeah. That's right. Listen, I want to get it out. I want to get my paddle board out there or at least one more time. But I know it's going to be more than that. I thought I'd bring my fish and run with me. I didn't realize I catch a smell. Small mouth bass. Yeah. I sent Jeff a video. I mean, I wasn't really that big. I didn't go crazy, but it felt big when you're sitting on a paddle board, really in a fish.
It feels big probably. Yeah. Feels big. So definitely the peak of my weekend was hitting the water one more time with my fishing rod and my paddle board. Savannah, how about you? Oh, sorry. I fell asleep to my fish. Oh, no. All right. Fish. Yeah. Cool. Awesome. This weekend. I wish if you had a good fun hobby outside. Maybe if you got out there and she's allergic to mosquitoes. Oh, that's right. She's like Ben and Drill in my life. She's allergic to the outdoors. It's huge. I'll show it. Okay. That was your weekend. It was good. So my husband and I, like I said, we just moved. So we spent the weekend kind of discovering our new town. And we looked like a 20 minute walk from the beach. Okay. So we took a very long walk with the pup to the beach and it was beautiful on Saturday. Yeah. It was stunning. It was so nice to just get out. Yeah. Friday and Saturday were awesome. I mean, it's mind it raining all day yesterday. Yeah. Walmart, Jeff, peak of the weekend. We'd be Saturday afternoon. My son had soccer, but after soccer, we went fishing, Courtney. Oh, my God. Don't fall asleep, Savannah. Don't fall asleep, Savannah. Don't fall asleep in the great outdoors. But yeah, it's one of those things where it's winding down.
And so you got to get your fishing in. Yes. Now, did you catch anything? Oh, yeah, definitely. You did. I always catch something for me. So how could we not talk about it? Because I don't have to brag about, you know, and next week on bait buddies. Yeah, bait buddies with Courtney and Walmart, Jeff. I love it. Oh, that's a perfect podcast. You guys should be talking about it. Yeah. It's about fishing and I won't listen to it. But I support you anyway. Let's do it. So you and Cash went and did a little fishing. We did. It is winding down. All right, you can check out our Pigs Plus show us yours. It's all up on the Courtney and kiss of the morning Facebook page. A new restaurant trend. It is Kiss 957. That's in your junk Jeff. Yeah, restaurants, in at least 11 US states are putting restrictions on smartphones and smart glasses or metaglasses to help Dynast focus on food privacy and face-to-face connection. But why does I don't understand the phone? I mean, the metaglasses is because you can put them on and you can really believe. You could be stalking somebody. You could even know. Yeah. But like the phone, like people are taking pictures. If you're in like a dimly lit restaurant, trying to have a romantic meal and all of a sudden the flash goes off because somebody's taking a picture of their, I don't know, the old
partner Sean or something like that. Yeah. Or if you're like my parents, they can't see in the dimly lit restaurants where they turn on their flashlights to be able to read the menu. But that's where the metaglasses come in. Yeah, I guess they read me the menu and it does it. That is the worst though. The people that turn on their flashlights to read the menu. It's like, come on, just stay home. If you can't see the menu, just stay home. My mom's not that. I mean, I'm not my parents are old. Just start. So restaurants are even hooking customers up with free wine or free dessert for going phone free. So I went out to a restaurant on Friday night with my son Cash. It was like a real restaurant. A real one. Like you have to wear like shoes. But we know the casual, you know, dry-drew. Taco Bell. Yeah, exactly. No, we had to wear like a shirt and shoes and stuff like that. Oh, look at you. No, please. But we, we were phone free. It's awkward, but we were phone free. Nice awkward. Because there's not a lot to talk to you about. It's your kid. It's your son. No, Jeff. He's 12. They don't really have a lot going on at the age of 12. No, but what are we? Go fishing together. I know.
It's weird to get his soccer coach. Yeah. Listen, free glass of wine. I will put my phone down. Where's the basket? It'll pick it up on my way out. Hey, coming up wild and out with Nick Cannon coming to people's bank arena. We've got your chance to win tickets. 740. Wild and out with Nick Cannon, people's bank arena. Collar 10, we're going to hook you up with those tickets looking for Collar 10. Well, last night, big night, I Heart Radio took over Vegas for our I Heart Radio music festival. The lineup was like, jacked. Yeah, BTS. Cardi B with her zebra print body suit and the bright red fringe all over it. Snoop Dogg, Benson Boone kicked off the night. I'm going to say my favorite performance though from our I Heart Radio music festival was our larset. She sounded great. She is great. She's pretty darn awesome. For all the highlights from last night's, or the weekends.
I Heart Radio music festival head over to kiss 957.com slash Courtney speaking of last night, though Taylor Swift cheered on her husband Travis Kelsey last night's game. She was with her mother-in-law and her parents watching the game. She wore a chief's tank top. And at one point when he scored, I guess it's the first touchdown of the season forum or something, she pointed to a wedding ring and started yelling, that's my husband. I loved it. And I think I speak for most of America. I think we're done seeing Taylor Swift at football. I don't mind as she goes. It's cool that she goes, but it's like they don't show any of the other players wives. Why are they have to show Taylor Swift? They do show her a lot. Oh, last night it was it was too much and it was right out of the gate last night. So cute. She was yelling, that's my husband and showing her ring. I don't know. I liked the support. I've got the video on my blog. And finally, Hayley Bieber debuted her fall hair transformation in a photo shared by her hair stylist unveiling her darkest hair color in over a decade. It's like a dark chocolate brown. Oh, yeah. It really does look amazing. I want to see those photos and more and all of these stories.
Head over to kiss 957 dot com slash Courtney. So I got a question. Stop. No, Jeff. It is kiss 957. Please don't talking off the air. And now you're doing this to me. You're killing me too early for Christmas stuff. I think it's too early. I was at two different stores over the weekend. And let me tell you, there was Christmas stuff everywhere. I couldn't find anything for Halloween. Hello. Oh, and forget Thanksgiving. Do we just skip over that? We're just going straight to Christmas. There has been Halloween candy out since the 4th of July. Two, two, and it's gone now. And now is when we need it. It's like Halloween decorations. Very minimal. Nothing for Thanksgiving. But like Ocean State job. I was going to ask what these stores were. All greens rose and rose of Christmas stuff. Is it too early to have Christmas stuff out there? Never. Never. No. Oh, okay. I think it is. I think it's you're pressuring me. I'm going to ask for holidays and I don't like it. I will say I was on TikTok yesterday afternoon. And there was a video with Mariah Carey's
all I want for Christmas. And I didn't stick around for most of the zone. I was like, I don't know what it was. I hope you know what I am. Okay, dress those 12 foot Halloween monsters. You have to yard up with a little Santa hat. And have fun. I keep getting these like reels on my Instagram. And it's like all the cute holiday stuff. Like Coco and decorating and wrapping presents. And it's like so many days until Christmas. We're skipping over Thanksgiving. I will care. The greatest holiday of all time. We're going straight. We're not even celebrating Halloween yet. Listen, I think it's too early for Christmas. Too early for Christmas stuff. Can we open up the phones? 860 247 957. No, Jeffens of Anna are okay with it. It's never too early for Christmas. Too early for me. Too early. I draw the line and setting up the tree and set up. Okay, that's fair. That's fair. We're the pumpkins and the turkeys and gobble gobble. We're going to go to Christmas pumpkins. Denise, is it too early to see all this Christmas stuff? Oh, absolutely way too early. Oh my God, no. Like have you been seeing it?
Like I've been seeing it. I'm like, wait, what happened to Thanksgiving? Oh, yeah. I was at Ocean say two and I'm like, what is going on? Where is Thanksgiving? Did we skip over it? Yes. I was like, there's two rows and aisles of Christmas stuff. I couldn't find anything for Halloween. Let's be so honest. Exactly. Yes, John. I agree. All right. Well, listen, thank you. I think it's way too early. Thank you for calling. No problem. Have a great day. All right. Is it too early for this Christmas stuff? 860 247 957. Oh, Kristen. All right. Is it too early to start seeing all this Christmas stuff in stores? It should be illegal. Oh, hey. I agree. Can I just say? I was like, I thought I was in. I had to look at like my watch. Like, what's the date? What is happening? Like, where's all the Halloween stuff? Why is it Christmas? And what happened to Thanksgiving? Time goes by too fast. We shouldn't be rushing it more than we have to enjoy each holiday. That's right. Well, then here's the thing. If you wait till after Thanksgiving, you have like only three weeks to enjoy the Christmas season. And it's so good we should make it longer. Well, we should at least wait till after Halloween.
I don't care. That's what I'm thinking. Exactly. I'm with you. It has to at least be after Halloween. At least after Halloween. And then just trickle in some Christmas stuff. But let me get through the, let me get through Halloween. Exactly. I'm with you. All right. Thank you so much for calling. Is it too early to see Christmas stuff out there? It's a two four seven nine five seven. Oh, hi, kisses this. Hi, Violet. Violet is a two early to see Christmas stuff out there. Definitely. You want, because you're going to have to, if there's houses down the street. And I see that they have Christmas stuff up. It's honestly unacceptable. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And you want to go, you want to go trick or treating, right? Yeah. Yeah. You got to get Halloween in first. Hold on, but wouldn't you be way happier if you went trick or treating? And you got a present instead of candy? That really the fight. Yeah, it's not my vibe either. Give me the candy. Give me the candy. Thank you for calling. Yeah, you're welcome. All right. It's time for War of the Roses.
Where are they now? When we check in with the past guests, and I'm kind of excited and a little nervous, we chatted with Diana from New Britain, thought her husband Ethan was cheating on her, because he was ignoring her. And remember, he sent flowers to a woman named Marissa. And many admitted that, yes, he and Marissa, he was seeing Marissa, because she made him feel like a man. I know. And then his wife, mother, then, well, Diana's on the phone. She's got an update. Good morning, Diana. Good morning. All right. So when we last left you, I put you on hold. I did offer you guys couples counseling, but I noticed that you have not taken advantage of that at all. So what is going on? Yeah. Well, I appreciate to say that we're well past that. Ethan moved out. He admitted that. And Marissa are in love and apparently they're together now. So congratulations to them, I guess. I just hope she's ready, because eventually, she's going to find out exactly what I was dealing with. OK. She's not going to get some strong independent man. She's getting a man child. She's getting a man child. That was your problem. You had to pick up after him, remind him to brush his teeth, and then he found a girl that made him feel like a man.
Seriously, I'm like, you're not going to change anything with just jumping to another woman. So hopefully she'll try and figure out that he's a man child. And I was just trying to live with someone who refused to grow up. And honestly, it's not my problem anymore. So he basically admitted that he and Marissa are in love and they're together. Yep. And he packed his bags the next day, and I haven't seen the sex. OK. So long, buddy. And how are you doing? Are you OK with all of this? Honestly, it's still kind of a shock. But again, because of that intuition, it's kind of just been lingering for one also. OK. Figure out how to move forward. OK. It's even better. Yeah. Onward and upward. And you know, we're still going to have that offer for you. If you need counseling at any point, I want to talk to anybody who we're picking up the tab. OK. OK. Well, I appreciate that. I will definitely keep that in mind. All right. You are welcome. Thank you for the update, Diana. Course. Have a good one.
