  Speaker 1: Jerry, Katie, and Josh.

  Speaker 2: Mix 100.
• 0:03
  Speaker 3: All right, so this morning as I'm getting ready for work,
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: I'm getting dressed and everything, and I'm standing in the bathroom, and,
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm getting ready to put my socks on
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: and stuff, and I look down, and my feet are
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: kind of whitish, and it's kind of like I got
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: this chalkiness to a couple.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Like more than usual?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little chalkiness to my little piggies.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what is, ugh, you know? And I reached
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: down and I kind of scratched some of the white
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: off my big toenail, off the big little piggy, the
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: little piggy that went to market. And I'm scratching, and
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, and it's in between my toes. And
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I went, I smelled it, and I go, well, that's
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Greek yogurt. What? Between the piggies? It's just a little
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: something that Nicole and I are into right now.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: That's not where it goes.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I had Greek yogurt on my little piggies this morning.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Talk about protein, Maxine.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: So, of course, I had been stretching, so I put
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: my foot in my mouth and sucked it off to
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: get my protein. No, so yesterday afternoon, I forgot about this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I was getting some stuff out of the fridge, okay?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: And teetering right on the edge was a Costco-sized thing
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: of Greek yogurt. And down it went. Boom! Hit the floor. Explosion!
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: One of those things where you say... So many cuss words. Yeah.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Because the lid blew off, the side cracked open. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: kid you not, there was Greek yogurt all over the kitchen. Yeah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: All over it. And apparently, I got a little in
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: my toes. And I didn't know it, and it just
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: dried overnight. So I woke up, and I had chalky
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Greek yogurt all over my feet. But have you ever
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: been in that circumstance when... Something falls out of the fridge.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: And it's just like a bomb went off.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Well, and you got to have like CSI come and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: clean it up because you don't know where that splatter went.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: It's like everywhere.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So just this morning, yeah, just this morning as I
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: was getting ready, I went down to investigate and there's
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: still little splatters on the cabinets. There's a little on
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the fridge still.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: It's everywhere.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I've told you this has happened to me in the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: morning because I don't have my grip strength about me
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: quite yet when I'm like making my coffee. And I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: have dropped complete half gallons of creamer on my floor
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: at four in the morning. And the only thing that's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: worse than cleaning up all that is doing it at
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: four in the morning.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Before you've had your coffee.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Because you're groggy.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's the worst.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So I've spilled a thing of spaghetti sauce, which again...
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: that's messy stuff right there, you know? Yeah, this has
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: happened to me multiple times.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: The physics behind it, too, is fascinating. Yeah. That when
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: it hits, it just, it goes everywhere.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: In every direction.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's hitting the ceiling, it's hitting the cabinets,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it's on your feet. One of the worst ones that
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: ever happened to me was I made some chili in
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: the crock pot, you know, and there's a big, I mean,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: a big bowl left of the chili from the night
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: before and I opened up the fridge and that baby
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: flew out of there and hit the ground and the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: bowl shattered too. So then you've got shattered glass mixed
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: in with chili that floods the whole house. And that
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: just doesn't smell good at that point either. No, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: it stinks.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: And now you've got to move.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now you have to put a house on the market. Exactly.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: You've got to put that on Zillow that there was
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: an incident in the kitchen with chili. Yeah, it smells
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: like chili.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: You've got to declare the chili incident before you sell it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Lord help you. Like you said, with creamer or milk
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: or anything that's dairy-based, if you don't get it all,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and if it's going under the fridge, That's going to
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: be stinky in a few days.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: And it gets in between the stove and the counter.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: That stuff will find a way to make its way
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: into every crook and cranny.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, and dairy is smelly.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Mom drama, mom drama. Llama, llama, mom drama. Oh, this
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: is so good. There's always so much drama going on
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: amongst the moms at school, I feel like. And this one,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I think, takes the cake or takes the Oreo, rather.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: There's a viral social media phenomenon going on right now
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: called OreoGate. Now, it all started when a creator named
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Ashley shared screenshots of a kindergarten class group chat where
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: another mother named Michelle... is demanding that all the other
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: moms stop packing Oreos in their children's lunches.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: And other junk food stuff, right?
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, specifically focusing on Oreos, though, because Oreos are not
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: allowed in their house. And her daughter, Ava, came home
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: crying because the other kids in her class have Oreo
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: cookies and she wasn't allowed to eat them at home. Now,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: there's no allergies or other school rules involved, just a
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: disagreement over household boundaries. Now, some of the other moms
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: are starting to push back, but listen to this. Here's
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: what Michelle did over the cookies. Michelle emailed the kindergarten
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: teacher demanding that the school implement a strict approved snack list,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and the school flatly denied her request. Then, unwilling to
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: accept defeat, she reportedly got into the school somehow, maybe
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: doing something in the classrooms, and she actually searched through
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: some of the other children's lunchboxes to see what was
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: in there, looking for Oreos. She demanded that the school
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and the teacher seat her daughter Ava away from any
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: of the Oreo lovers during lunchtime so Ava would not
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: be tempted. And the other moms are fired up over this.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: They're like, what the hell are you doing, Michelle? You
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: can't tell us what we can and cannot pack in
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: our kids' lunches. Now, furious over this, a separate text
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: thread was formed amongst some of the other mom squad members.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And here's what they did. During the sidebar chat, they
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: all agreed to collectively pack lunches two or more Oreos
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: in every single kid's lunch the next day, so they
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: upped the amount of Oreos, and one mother intentionally upgraded
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: her kid to double stuffed Oreos to maximize Michelle's frustration.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I am loving the drama back and forth here. So
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: that's kind of the question out there this morning. Like,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: does Michelle have a leg to stand on here with
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: demanding that the school, the teachers, these other moms stop
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: permitting these junk food options in the lunches? Because it
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: makes her daughter sad?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Are you telling me Michelle actually went into the school
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and looked through kids' lunches?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Sounds like it. That's what the story says.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Michelle's got control issues, I think.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: And then what's she doing? Taking the Oreos out and
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: stealing them?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: And throwing them in the trash?
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: No, you know she's eating those Oreos.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Come on. Is that what it is?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: She's standing them down.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: We know you're eating those cookies.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: That's funny. But anyway, I'm loving this back and forth.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I'm loving reading about all this. And I know there's
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: probably people out there on Michelle's side saying, you know what? One,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: you got to think about kids' health anyway, because that
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: is consistently listed. on some of the worst products that
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you can eat is the Oreo because the amount of
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: food dye in it and food coloring. So I know
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: there's people out there that are like, you know what,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Michelle's probably right. There should be stricter guidelines in these schools.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Michelle's right about her own kid, but Michelle has
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: no right to preach her judgment on all the other
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: children who aren't hers. That's my opinion about that.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I know, but as a courtesy, don't you think the
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: other moms should just kind of band together and be like,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: you know what, as a courtesy, we're all, you know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: it's the community. It takes the village. shouldn't they all
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: just be like, all right, we'll just stop packing Oreos.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Our kids probably shouldn't be eating those anyway.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: It takes a village.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I think that's a huge reach of an ask for Michelle.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: It's a massive ask.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I think that's way too much for her to ask. Truthfully,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I feel like I have stopped having expectations for other people.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Because when you stop, Michelle, expecting everyone to do what
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you expect them to do, your life gets a lot easier,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you know? And so I think that, again, Michelle has
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a problem with control, and that is the real issue here,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: not what the kids are eating. It's about Michelle. It's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a big ask on her part, but it's the whole,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't get it unless you ask for it, too. So,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's putting herself out there.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I guess. What do you think? What side are you on?
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Are you on Michelle's side who is saying, hey, we
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: need to ban Oreos and all the lunches? please help
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: another mom out. Or are you on the side of
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Ashley and her other mom squad who is just packing
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: double stuffs now and saying, screw you, baby. I love Ashley.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Now you get five Oreos. I mean, that's bad on
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: the kid. Then the kid's pounding down five Oreos at lunch,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: and they shouldn't be doing that either.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: And here's some Gushers.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right. Wash it down with a Diet Coke or something.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Here is Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Welcome to the show.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Hi, thanks for having me.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, you betcha. Okay, so whose side are you on?
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Are you on side Oreo or are you on side
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: no Oreo or side double stuff?
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm on side double stuff, but I also.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Think there's a subtext that we're missing.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: I think Michelle is.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Trying to prevent her daughter from feeling sad. Yeah. That
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: she doesn't have the Oreos, and I think parents do
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: that all the time, but it's completely unrealistic.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Can't you just find something that makes Ava happy in
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: her lunch and just give her more of that then?
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or teach her how to process sadness.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: There's also that. You're going to have sadness all through
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: your life, sweet Ava.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Wait till you're an adult.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Suck it up.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: 100%.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: It's Oreos now. It's losing a job the next time.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Exactly. That's exactly it. Losing a pet. Losing a friend.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: This is minor in the world of sadness, right? It
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: really is.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: So I am putting you on team double stuff. No,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: don't cave to Michelle's wishes, right?
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: And add the gushers.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: And yes, Michelle.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Plus Gushers Sarah knows what's up, you gotta listen to Sarah, Michelle.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Sarah, thank you so much for calling in Here is Chris,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: hi Chris Hi.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I'm, well go on ahead and say I'm definitely team
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: double stuff No spoiler there Just.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Wanna start it with that I'd like to announce to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the entire Denver Metro that Chris loves double stuff Alright buddy,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: what are your thoughts on this though?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I want to also add they do have healthier options
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: to where you can actually trick your kid. They think
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: they're eating unhealthy snacks, but they're actually eating plant-based stuff
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and don't even know it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, now you're really going to piss that poor Ava off.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Do they have plant-based Oreos now?
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Yuck. Yuck all day long, Chris. How dare you even
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: bring that up?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe actually spread that to parents and get them to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: actually sneak healthier options into their child's taxes.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Kids are pretty smart. They're going to
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: be like, what is this crap? This tastes like a plant.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: In general, Chris, besides the healthier options, which side are
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: you on? You are on team double stuff, so what's
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: your reasoning behind that?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm kind of anti just some weird, creepy parent
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: sneaking into a kid's lunchbox and touching all their food
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and spreading COVID-19. Yes!
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Is that what they're doing?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: That's odd.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Michelle's got issues, right, Chris? That's an odd thing.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: She's a little cray-cray.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, she is! She's off a rocker. She's a little sus,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: as the kids say. All right, Chris, we got you
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: on Team Double Stuff. We appreciate you calling in. Here's Marcy. Hi, Marcy.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Hello. How are you today?
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Well, we're kind of craving some Oreos now.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, me too. It's one of my favorites. You
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: know what? I'm a dietician, and I think it's insane
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: to not eat Oreos. I think it's all part of
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: a healthy diet, putting everything in there. And to start
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: doing that, you're causing some eating disorders for your kiddo.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Let it go. Figure out what's going to make your
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: kid happy. And what are you going to do when
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: the kid goes to high school? What are you going
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: to have the kids do then? Like every step is
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: going to be harder and harder for this poor kid.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: You're not going to be able to monitor it in
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: high school at all. I mean, remember in high school,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: I had French fries every single day for like four years.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: That vending machine saw me daily, Marcy. Like it was,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: you couldn't stop me.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Seriously, model your behavior at home and then let her
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: learn how to eat and be social. Yeah. You're putting
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: her in a social box by herself.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: She's alienating her child for sure.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: All day long. I think so. And this is coming
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: from a dietician right here.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: This is coming from a dietician, yes. And are you
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: allowed to go through other kids' backpacks?
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I know. I think she was caught, so yeah. Cuckoo
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: party of one.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I think that's a bigger issue than the Oreo.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I agree. Marcy, what are your thoughts on the plant-based Oreos?
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: If you want them, have them. But I'm all about
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: if you're going to eat it, eat the real thing.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. I'd rather throw myself into traffic than to eat
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: the plant-based one.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: I just want the Oreo, dip it in the milk,
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: and call it a day.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Done and done. Marcy, we appreciate your call so very much.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: We are out of time, but I can tell you
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: right now, everybody else on hold is essentially on Team
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Double Stuff. Yeah. So don't cave to crazy Michelle. Don't
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: No.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your calls and comments today,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: you guys. I hope this one brought you a smile
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: with JKJ here at Mix.
