No, Courtney's speech was absolutely amazing. We're going to circle back to this a little bit later in the morning because I have some things that I have to say. But it's okay. And can I just say one last thing about last night, proof of the hug exists. When I bring you up on stage, Courtney, you do not touch me. Do not hug me. We can high five. I have it on video. So I did all of them high five fist pump and hug. It was like a secret handshake. It was so awkward. It was amazing. Listen, I've got proof. Somebody said me a photo of you and I hug it on a note. And I just put it on the Courtney and kiss in the morning face. Come on. Receipts. Yeah. Receipts. Check it out. Stop. It happened. I hugged. Yes. Yeah. All right. Your morning quickie on kiss 95 seven here. It is 40% of people will wear a perfume if it smelled like this. Savannah. It smelled like this. Coffee brewing in the

8:27morning. No, but it's a good smell. I love that one. I know what's going to come out of your mouth, Walmart. Jeff, but let's do it anyway. 40% of people would wear a perfume if it smelled like this. I have two. Okay. The one that obvious one is a stripper. I was not going to say that. And then the other one is if you're all jazzed up about this, I'm going to say puppy breath because you love that's true. I love puppy breath. I thought you were going to say bacon. Oh, no, I don't know. I don't know. That actually crossed my mind. It's going to be a 40% of people would wear perfume if it smelled like popcorn. Ew. It depends on what flavor popcorn. It's not a bad smell. It really isn't. It's not a bad smell like popcorn. My biggest pet peeve in the world is like you go to dinner somewhere or you go to a diner. It's the worst with diners. And then you walk out smelling like food. I hate that. I tell you what? I would wear perfume if it smelled like Duncan. You know when you walk into a dunk and you're like, what is that is that the smell of donuts or bagels or coffee or all? I'm still sticking to my stripper smell. That's the smell I would like. All right. Walmart. Jeff. All right. Drake and South Windsor speaking to strippers. No, I'm just joking. He got ghosted after our first date and he really wants

9:31to see this person again. He wants to know why he's getting ghosted. And we're going to get to the bottom of it. Second date update coming up in just five minutes. Okay, okay. Let's make a love match. South Windsor Drake is on the line. Good morning, Drake. And welcome to second date update. Good morning. How are you guys? Oh, we're good.

Tell us about this great first date. Yeah. So like, you know, me and Ariana and me, we had a great time together. Yeah, we went out to the big E. Just had like a perfect day. You know, hanging out the fair. Man, we played games. We shared a lot of great food. You know, we did find out some new stuff and just, you know, spent the whole day exploring around the fair. Okay. I love. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Did you buy chance to have their giant corn dog? Cause that's my favorite. Yes. Okay. No, we got

10:34one of those and we at least split it because it was okay. Okay. You didn't do anything weird with the giant corn dog. Did you? I mean, I didn't get that far. I'm gonna tell you okay. Good. That's a good. At the end of the day. I mean, honestly, like, you kind of tired after walk around the fair all day. You know, so we, you know, we said, we, we, we, we went our different ways and it's all good. Okay. They had a great time though. You know, and then since then I've called her at left her message. You know, I wanted to get back together with her, but I'm not here for 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. Walmart 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. Great. Where you that guy? No, I mean, I was pretty, uh, and yeah, I'm, I'm pretty careful with my food. 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,

11:39amen. All right, Jake, 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, 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. Oh, okay. Hey, 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

12:40thought 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 his why he's not boyfriend material because for me, taking someone to the fair, especially that fair. Yeah. Right? Oh, yeah. Doing all the fair things. I feel like that's boyfriend. That's boyfriend. Yeah. Well, you know, the whole thing just proves he's like on athletic and also financially irresponsible. How on athletic, you're out of fair. Like what was he? Did you did you enter in 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. Like, toddlers were coming and nailing it, winning a teddy bear. And he was standing there for an hour trying to do it. He spent $150 trying to win me this teddy

13:45bear, which he never won. So like, so wait, don't we 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. Right. This is not for me. I don't know what to say. It's his money. I mean, come on. I was just trying to do something nice for you. You know, we're at the 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. Every shot that I took, it was all like you would kiss the ball for luck. And then I mean, it was a fun thing. It was a moment. You know, I feel like it's cute.

14:48Like, it was 15. Yeah. Go for an hour. It's like, well, this is terrible. All right. You wasted our dear 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. 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 would stand there the whole day. Unless, unless you're wearing maybe 10 minutes with 150 bucks, they see you. They're like jackpot. There's our one case savings. There's, there's, there's, there's. Yeah. I was even, yeah, honestly, I spent, 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 him. 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'd go on another date, but no

15:53games. Okay. Okay. I think that's fair. Drain, now, 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 day 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, perfect. 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. Yeah. Look at for collar, 10, your chance to walk away with a designer handbag. Would it be the Gucci, a Kate Spade, a Jason Wu? All you got to do is give us a number one through 60 to win. Looking for color, 10. And while you're doing that, Tate McRae finally making the announcement. We've all been waiting for it is T time with Savannah. Yes. So Tate McRae is finally kicking off her new era. I'm so excited

16:57about it. She announced her new single Housewife on Instagram and revealed yes, it'll be with us on October 15th. So, Mark calendars. But she said that she shared the news with a photo of herself in a red bikini sun glasses and she's posing next to a stroller filled with cash. And she had a glow up recently. I actually thought she was about to release some sort of hair or care or skin care lines. She did. And Tate McRae having a glow up is already wild cause because she's sending to begin with. But she captioned her pose Housewife out October 15th with a diamond ring emoji. And then she was on the tonight show with Jimmy Fallon. And I guess she tried to warn us this was coming by. I don't know. So excited. I haven't released in a while. And it's just kind of about a woman who can't be contained. And some people have said that you drop Easter eggs. And so that did we know that the song was coming out? This was literally in my law set. Like it was said Housewife when the set started. Yeah, big neon sign apparently we're all really. Easter eggs, I guess aren't as good as Taylor Swift. It was literally right there. Hi guys. It's right here.

18:00Hidden in plain sight. But Olivia Rodrigo. She is setting the record straight on her relationship status and she's single. She does not have a boyfriend. She said that the internet basically has this a little bad habit of turning casual dates into full blown relationship rumors. And she even joked that like yeah, you got with one person and suddenly you're married. It's crazy. But Olivia said the constant speculation definitely feels a little invasive, especially when pop broughtsy photos are used to make assumptions about her personal life. Now she's been spotted with a couple different guys recently. Yeah. The New York City Finance bro Julian Krunner, who your husband, who's in finance says he's not that good. Well, he said he was very junior because I found him I linked in and I was like, my husband also works in finance in New York. Remember Savannah did like an hour and a half deep dive on the guy. I'm linked and I'm like, Airvon, tell me everything. She also was spotted with Gisa's Cameron Winter. Neither one of those actually pinned out. But Olivia says she just wants to be 23 and experience life normally. And then we'll wrap up with our guy Harry Styles. Who is about to be an uncle of two. I love him. His sister, Emma is pregnant with

19:04her second baby and she announced a news on Instagram as well with a mere selfie showing off her very cute bump and she captioned it. Ready player to which I think is amazing. But if you're wondering what kind of uncle Harry is, Jenna said he's definitely the best uncle in the world. And he would be a fun uncle, I think he would be 100%. If you want to check out the baby announcement photo, I got you on my blog kiss 957.com keyword Savannah. And until next time, the best tea is the kind you can't sip. Huge night last night. It is kiss 957 Courtney Savannah, Walmart, Jeff, we're all exhausted. The studio smells like donuts and bagels because Savannah and I it was a late night. We both showed up this morning with breakfast for everybody. So we've got a double breakfast here. We didn't communicate. Yeah, it was the Connecticut Broadcaster Association awards last night. Big shout out to Adam Rivers, best radio personality. Big St. Louis, it was so awesome. I want to say, Jeff, you gave a great speech. Jeff actually gave a speech bringing me up on stage for my hall of fame induction.

20:07Yeah, yeah, it was a yeah, thank you Courtney. I appreciate that. You also gave a speech. She did. I did. How was my speech? Your speech was great. But he looked at him. He's got a button. No, I just bought a little. I'm the only one that kept it under five minutes. All the other news, man, we're talking about like 15. I know there was one. But I mean, it was a great speech. But you know, you mentioned me early on in the speech, which was great. How long we worked together and blah, blah, blah. How much I loved you and you're great co-host and a great friend and you're always there. I was expecting a little. I was expecting some waterworks. No waterworks for a Walmart Jeff, but Savannah, who you've been working with for a hot second. Courtney breaks down on stage. I did. I had a total break down. I had a breakdown on stage. And then I got showed up. There's no proof of a job. And I'm sitting here in a button. I got a shirt with buttons on it. Real shoes. Real shoes and no waterworks for me. I have. Can I play what you said about Savannah? As you know, a morning show, whether it's TV or radio,

21:12it's never one person. It is the people sitting beside you. Savannah, thank you for bringing so much energy you were in heart to the show. I love you. We're listening to every single morning. They invited us into their lives, their homes, their cars, their offices. They let us celebrate their birthdays and their milestones. They let us be there when life was great and what it was great. And I hope we've right in their mornings as much as they write a dollar. So thank you to everybody who listens each and every morning. All right. Here's the thing. I love you Savannah, but I knew the part about the listeners was coming up. And every time I think about all the wonderful people that listen to us all look up in a cry. I can't even talk about the listeners. I know I knew that that part was coming up. So I didn't cry over Savannah. I cried. I was looking ahead. Knowing I was going to talk about people that spend every morning with us and it touches my soul and my heart. But can I just say like as somebody? No, no, no, sorry. I was hoping that we were going to get

22:15another award last night so I could say something. Okay. But as someone who grew up listening to you guys and like I remember driving a school with my mom and listening to you guys and wore the roses in second eight update and like you just have this infectious personality and this gravitational pull. I'll call it that you're just such a warm kind person and to be able to sit here every morning and to learn from the both of you and to now be co-workers like it's an unreal feeling and thank you for being you and for being amazing and such a trailblazer. And Jeff, thanks for being Jeff. That's why I cried Jeff when I talked about Savannah and not you. Things like that. I got you. And can I just say one more thing? Please do. What's you more things? The hug? I did hug Courtney on stage. It was very awkward. There's a video on the Courtney Kissing Morning Facebook page. If you see it, you can tell in my face that I did not want any part of that. I screamed so loud when you guys hugged. Like it sounded like living rubby. The other thing I got to say is my hats off to you, Courtney, because I don't know if you noticed this last night. You were the only woman inducted into the class of 2020. Six for the whole thing. We didn't notice one out of five. You were

23:21the only woman. So congratulations. Congratulations. And yes, just a big shout out to all the listeners because we wouldn't get these awards and we wouldn't be here without you listening each and every morning. So I truly appreciate it. So shout out to Gil Simmons to WTNH. Heck yeah. Can I shout out Keith Coons to you? Because I can have a little crush. All right. We met Keith Coons last night. Two Bob Maxson. It was amazing. You can get the full scoop in all the photos on the Courtney Kissing Morning Facebook page. Exciting news. If you love Starbucks and is Kiss 95, seven time for your vibe checks about. So remember what was it yesterday? I said that the holiday menu was coming back. Yeah. Well, something else that's coming back in November. No. The berries to cup. Really? That sells out so quick. So last year they dropped the very first ever berries to cup. And it's basically a cup that looks like you don't like the gummy bears. Yeah. It literally looks like a giant gummy bear. And it sold out in literally five minutes. Like I kid you not. People were so obsessed with it. You couldn't get it anywhere. So they're bringing it back this year. You can start getting it Starbucks on November 5th. And they're also

24:25going to have tumblers, mugs and even a plush keychain with the berry stuff. Oh, how cute. So if you like Starbucks, November 5th is your day for sure. Just take all my money here. I'll just get my seven dollar coffee. I mean, I can barely contain herself over there. Hey, coming up, pick your purse. Your chance to walk away with a Gucci handbag. Absolutely free.

We ain't coming up at 840. Love that song. It's not stupid at all. We'll live your Rodrigo. It is kids 95 seven. If you toss in turn all night, it could be one reason. It's time for Walmart. Jeff's junk. Actually, I probably should run this story. It's actually several reasons. Okay. You guys ever wake up at the same time every night? What time? Like 305. And then I'm like, I only have like 20 more minutes left. Courtney. 333. Oh, you're a number. It's yes. It's also an angel number. I am 247. Every morning. 247. Do you guys use an alarm clock to wake up? Yes.

25:30I use my phone. I do not. I usually just wake up. What? I have one alarm clock set for 420. If that goes off, I'm late for work. But I'm usually I wake up every morning at 3 o'clock. Yeah. Yeah. I get you. Courtney. Here's some reasons why you can be waking up in the middle of the night. Some of these actually hit close to home for me. Your stress hormones are messing you up. LOL or just hormones. But yes. Your blood sugar dips in roller coasters. Okay. I yes. Are you are you like in directing me right now? No. This one is more for Courtney. And your liver is working overtime. Yeah. Or the night shift. They're checking out. You're running on a terrible sleep schedule, which is me. Yeah. Same. And you train yourself to wake up at that time. Yeah. If you've trained to wake up that time, that's a thing. If you wake up at 247 Jeff every single morning, your body's going to be like, Hey, it's almost 247. What are you doing? You got to get your ass on the bed. I feel like your body's just like rising shine. Yeah. No. No. It doesn't sound like that. No. It doesn't. Hey, we're paying your bills. $1,000. Yeah. Maybe you can buy 10 alarm clocks with

26:35a thousand bucks. A thousand bucks is a lot of money for all my money. And all you got to do to win a grand is listening. It's coming up this morning at 910.
