Backlash Against Ashton & Mila Explained

Https://warm1069.com/backlash-against-ashton-mila-explained/

This one’s going around and we thought we’d share:

Think about this !!! 😤 A guy sends you a friend request. He looks nice enough, so you check him out on FB before accepting. Awe, he’s got a wife and just the Cutest Kids. You don't know him; but, he's a Family Man and his profile and info is all good; so you accept his friend request.

It's your baby girl's first day of school. She looks SO cute in her new outfit and you just have to take a picture and post it on Facebook so all your friends and family can see.

You're so excited dropping her off that you 'Check in' to her school on FB saying...”I can't believe how big she's gotten. Time sure flies. One proud momma/daddy right here.”

Meanwhile, the mystery guy whose friend request you hurriedly accepted previously, is saving that photo you posted of your daughter in her cute new outfit, to his phone and texting it to 60 other grown men across the world with the caption - American Female, Age 8,
Brown Hair, Blue Eyes, ID # R8000.

Not only did you provide a picture of your little girl to a child trafficker, you've handed him the name and exact location of her school on a silver cyber platter.

You go to pick her up at 3:00 this afternoon; but, she's nowhere to be found.

Little do you know, your precious baby girl was sold to a 43 year old pe*****le before you even stepped foot off campus this morning; and, now she's on her way to Asia with a bag over her head, confused, terrified and crying.
A strange man she's never seen before, snatched her up from school in less than 10 seconds. She doesn't know where her parents are, where she's going, or what's going to happen next, it’s hard for her to breathe and she’s all alone and terrified!!!!! And, YOU did this to her, unknowingly...
But, now you know 😳

STOP ADDING STRANGERS ON FACEBOOK!!!
A N D
STOP posting everything about your Life and Kids on FACEBOOK!!!

Avoid posting children's photos, or on profiles! Change your Hometown! Don’t post Towns or Locations! People who know you, know where you live!

Please share this for the sake of all kids and parents!!!

PLEASE SAVE OUR CHILDREN

ALSO— Parents PLEASE STOP posting photos of your children publicly. Set it to FRIENDS ONLY. You are literally asking for a p**o to save a photo of your child or far worse.

Feel free to COPY - PASTE and share.

A legend. Rest in peace, Jimmy ❤️🦜🏖️🍹🩴🏝️🍔🍰

“If there’s a heaven for me, I’m sure it has a beach attached.”

RIP, Jimmy ⛵️

ARTIC BLAST

https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Holiday-Arctic-Blast-Episode

We recorded this HOURS before a crazy blizzard "cyclone bomb" would freeze most of the U.S., causing dips in temps, rare snow/ice rain events in the Pacific Northwest, 50-car pile ups in the Midwest, complete chaos at the Great Lakes, and most flights being canceled. Coach Laurie, Aunt Claire, and Lil Spaz D will try their best to entertain you w/ some pretty bad caroling...whether you're stuck at the airport or sitting around the fireplace in a blackout. And - hark! Claire finally watched "Elf"! And Anna finally watched the last half of Mary Poppins. Oh sorry, false alarm. She didn't. Well, anyway, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Merry Christmas, Happy Festivus for the Rest of Us, Happy All The Things from our home to yours!!!

KANYE. KYRIE. C'MON, MAN.

https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Kanye-Kyrie-Cmon-man

Maybe Kanye's going through his worst mid-life crisis (since his last one. You know. The one where he put on the obsessive-ex act? That was terrifying). Well, this time around he's caused his sponsors to cancel him. Didn't set a good example for Kyrie Irving who recently pushed the same hate propaganda. We discuss whether or not either can come back from this. Claire, who had been reporting news and traffic remotely, just worked inside some radio station studios for the first time in 2 years. Also, one of her dogs just got skunk'd. Do you know what to do if your pet gets sprayed by a skunk? That's right. Immediately let him inside to roll around in your bed. Or not.

Warm106.9 is flipping the switch right now!!! Hurry get to a radio!! Or www.warm1069.com!! Squeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Christmas music!!! 🎅🏽 🎄 ❄️ ⛄️

TRICK 'ER TREAT (RECORDED OCT 21, 2022)

https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Trick-er-Treat-Recorded-Oct-21-2022

Smell my feet...go on...smell 'em...because Halloween 2022 isn't at all like Halloween 2020 when we had candy shoots and left out candy bowls for the kiddos. We actually get to answer the door, hear jokes, and hand out the sweets. What's not sweet is the split up of Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen. Could the problem be Tom Brady is a 45-year-old man who has a problem with work-life balance? Is it something else? isn't feeling the love, either. But hey. Nothing brings the internet together quite like an opportunity to mock a 245-million dollar QB. Or not.

CUCKOO SPIT SPIT SPIT

https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Cuckoo-Spit-Spit-Spit

A lot has happened since our last episode. Sadly, we lost Loretta Lynn, Angela Lansbury, Judy Tenuta. We're still mourning the loss of Queen Elizabeth and Coolio. But there was also the welcoming news of Adnan Syed finally able to live as a free man after more than 2 decades in prison. Laurie and Claire discuss the overturning of Adnan's conviction for a 1999 murder that was chronicled in the hit podcast "Serial". Also, 50% of Americans consider themselves superstitious. Laurie Hardie is one of the other 50% who is NOT superstitious. Well. Maybe she's a little - stitious....or not.

MAREN ON A MISSION

https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Maren-Morris-Mission

It just so happens we recorded this episode days after a Maren Morris concert in Redmond, Washington...and days before the headlines read that Maren had "Just Turned a Tucker Carlson Insult into $150K for the Trans Community". (Feel free to Google it, but the short of it is Tucker called Maren a "lunatic" after she defended transgender kids and she used his dig to launch a t-shirt line featuring her name w/ the words "Lunatic Country Music Person". This raised a ton of money!!!). If you've followed Maren long enough, you'd know she is committed to making country music more inclusive and she will never stop fighting to see more diversity in this industry. But the time of the concert and of this episode we didn't know about Carlson's insult or about what was going down. Meanwhile Laurie, Claire and Anna chat about the concert and about what Maren had said to the crowd about it that night. By the way, if you'd like to buy one of Maren's "Lunatic Country Music Person" t-shirts benefitting GLAAD's Transgender Media Program and Trans Lifeline, visit: https://shop.marenmorris.com/products/lunatic-country-music-person-tee . Also, big news! Laurie is a grandma for the 5th time!! Maybe she'll check to see if Maren's merch includes onsies!!! - or not.

THE NEW "QUIET QUITTING" TREND

Move over Great Resignation! There's a new kid in town, and it's called "Quiet Quitting". If you've never heard of Quiet Quitting, it's quite a phenomenon happening right now. Laurie Hardie explains what it is. Part of it has to do with workers choosing self-preservation over physical and emotional exhaustion. Meanwhile, Claire also recently made a decision to protect herself and preserve her well-being after some bully agency unjustifiably tried to come after her. Claire decided she "don't want no drama. No no drama. No no no drama." -- sometimes it's a good idea to throw in lyrics from the Black Eyed Peas....or not.

SOUL-SEARCHING AFTER THIS WEEK'S UVALDE TRAGEDY

https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Soul-Searching-After-This-Weeks-Uvalde-Tragedy

Sadly, just about every school kid's /parent's /teacher's nightmares came to life this week at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. This national tragedy has left many hurting inside, struggling to make sense of the latest shooting rampage...and what could happen next. This time seems different, and these intense and unsafe situations are clearly triggering stress, trauma and second-hand trauma. Laurie, Claire and Anna D discuss the emotional toll it's taking on loved ones who are students, teachers and parents. They talk about famous names who are expressing their sorrow and anger, most notably Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, both whom had tearfully addressed the Texas shooting. We hope our conversation - and all anguished soul-searching conversations happening right now - help you unpack your feelings, raise questions and give you healing. Big hugs from all of us at Listen & Learn or Not.

BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE 2022! GOT MILK?

https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Baby-Formula-Shortage-2022-Got-Milk

The baby formula shortage has gone from an inconvenience to a national crisis real quickly.These last couple weeks have shown just how complex the shortage is and how there isn't a seemingly simple formula to solving the problem. Laurie, Claire and Anna D talk about what this crisis reveals about the baby formula industry, as well as some solutions people have come up with lately. Speaking of babies, remember when Karen used to be a popular baby name? Now it's become a stand-in for offensive behavior of women. Countless TikTok videos are dedicated to 'Bad Karens'. But what about your family and friends who are really named Karen - having to be associated with the insult even if they are nothing like those memes. We chat about the sad truth that the name Karen was, indeed, hijacked. We give a shout-out to the many wonderful people named Karen that we know...especially Claire's neighbor Karen, as well as the beloved Karen Carpenter, because, why not? Also, do you feel compelled to finish every single novel you start? We all know life's too short to finish a book you don't like, but you'd be surprised how many of us feel guilty about the thought of starting something without finishing it. Could be because the story will redeem itself at some point and you don't want to miss out. Maybe it's a sign of strength to slog through a novel you stopped liking after 50 pages. Maybe friends loved it and you feel like you need to keep trying. So go on! Finish that book you're not all that into...or not.

TEAM JOHNNY DEPP OR TEAM AMBER HEARD?

The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Trial is the entertainment we didn't know we needed in our lives. From jaw-dropping moments throughout the trial to all the hilarious headlines to Johnny and Amber-assigned tip jars at coffee stands, all of it is sparking debates in and out of courtroom. Also a shout out to all the small businesses that have been surviving covid. Ed Sheeran fights and wins against those who try to make pop stars "easy targets" for copyright claims. Our own Seth in the Morning confesses on Instagram one of his biggest fears. Listen as Claire, Laurie Hardie, and Anna D share their thoughts. Spoiler alert: we just want to give him a big hug. What do you think about having an annual Make An Appointment Day - a day dedicated to making your doctor / dentist appointments? And a warning: there is a lot of singing in this episode. But it's ok. We bring back R.E.M., They Might Be Giants, Rebecca Black, Starship.....we even sing to the Silence of the Lambs soundtrack -- or not!!!!

SPACE NEEDLE - 60 & FABULOUS!!

https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Space-Needle---60--Fabulous

Seattle Space Needle is 60 years old, but it doesn't look a day over 50. Claire, Laurie Hardie & Anna D go over a little history of the landmark. We also discuss rethinking the mask mandates during this shifting pandemic. Don't you want to relive the first months of the pandemic in 2020? Neither do we, but there are books and shows that do just that...and it freaks us out. Also, there's little weird fact we found out about Elon Musk. We also share a feel-good police officer story that put tears to Claire's eyes. Laurie Hardie reveals some big news! Bun in the oven -- or not?

Space needle is 60!!!
Erika and Jodee our sales goddesses' thought they were taking a selfie with the needle, but oooppppssss!!!

YUM YUM NOM NOM TOOT TOOT P**P

Another ear worm has been born, and this time it's in the form of Katy Perry and Jimmy Kimmel singing about every toddler's topic of choice -- poots & doo doo. You get to hear it here first if you hadn't already. Claire teaches us a lesson about having the courage to try new things. Laurie challenges us to shout shout let it all out. Anna D needs you to binge watch "Severance" and "WeCrashed'. Or else you may regret it -- or not.

Team Will Smith? Or Team Chris Rock?
https://www.podcastone.com/listen-and-learn--or-not

Our country is, again, divided. This time over Will Smith and Chris Rock. Listen as Laurie Hardie, Claire and Anna D dissect, pull apart and psychoanalyze the SLAP heard around the world. Keep in mind, this episode was recorded on 3/31, the day before Will announced his resignation from the Oscars academy on 4/1. It's no April Fools. This is real. Our biggest take away is the realization that Ye now might be a safer bet than Will when the Academy sends out invites....or not.

😅 It’s funny b/c it’s true 😅

JUST B/C YOU'RE GOOD @ IT, DOESN'T MEAN U ENJOY IT

Laurie Hardie, Anna D and Claire find out the WKND is guest starring in a long running TV show. Not only do we talk about the "Starboy" but we also talk about "StarHug", a local author's children's book that is really taking off! The book is wonderful, and the author's story - amazing! - as she makes us want be brave in a world of languishing. We talk about how just because you're good at something doesn't mean you enjoy it. We discuss the benefits of learning how to work with different "tendencies" at the office. Also, Dolly Parton bows out of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Maybe we can talk her into finally starting her own big hair metal punk band.....get her to reconsider......or not.

THE BRAVERY OF ORDINARY CITIZENS / GRANNIES THROWING ON WAR PAINT

Our country and almost the entire world has come together to support the people of Ukraine. Our hearts go out to them. With that in mind, it seems fitting to spotlight our sister station' rallying cry in the form of a Whiz Khalifa song and in the style of Young Jeffrey: "Blue and Yellow". It delivers a powerful message and celebrates Ukraine's resilience and wisdom. Most importantly, we hope it helps drive support for their people who have been forcibly displaced. Laurie, Claire and Anna hope you do what you can to help. WCK.org and WorldVision.org are just a couple ways you can. Thanks for listening.

ALEXA...PLAY "WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US" BY JOAN OSBORNE

Alexa is a valuable friend -- just ask Claire and Laurie. The Ring Doorbell is more Anna's friend. Claire has a few theories about what went on during the Winter Olympics in Beijing. Laurie shares her latest favorite reads. Claire & Anna find a good excuse to bring back the song "One of Us" by Joan Osborne. Laurie is convinced the workplace, like Cheers, is where EVERYbody knows your name --- or not.
