And I want to thank those who listened long and

In the fall or something. You know, it just is
what it is.

waiting for them to go down.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Can be exceed.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Your punk, We knew it. Nothing, no soup for you
going to free.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Continental breakfast somewhere. That's where you work now the whole time,
all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Don't serve the continental breakfast. That's all You're worthy of.
Years of good luck, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
When I when I get kicked out of here and
I go work there, and there's nothing wrong with that
free continental breakfast for everybody, everybody, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, I don't play.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
No, no, I have no idea as of this morning.
I know that you woke up this morning and you
decided to stand on business about coinental breakfast. More than
ten million people across the Midwest remain under flood alerts
this morning as heavy rains continue to fall. Milwaukee was
hit particularly hard by storms over the weekend. It is
on track to break its daily rainfall record of fourteen
point five inches in a day. On Sunday, Milwaukee County
(02:23):
declared a state of emergency as the Milwaukee River crested
to historic eleven feet flash fludge, fludge, flash flunch. Now,
I'm shushing, that's a hard thing to say. No. Flash
floods swamped whoa. Flash floods swamped roads and stranded vehicles,
prompting first responders to make dozens of water rescues. Even
the Wisconsin State Fair had to shut down early because
(02:45):
of heavy rains flooding the fair grounds. The severe weather
is part of the same storm system that brought wind
gusts of more than eighty miles an hours to Nebraska
on Saturday, which killed one person. Hundreds of inmates at
the Nebraska State Penitentiary also had to be relocated after
the storm's damage to housing units. There's also a massive
Colorado wildfire, which continues to grow. It's one of the
(03:06):
largest in state history, and it's still growing. The Lee Fire,
southwest of Meeker had burned over one hundred and twenty
thousand acres. As of last check, the blaze is seven
percent contained. Authorities have set up evacuation zone south and
west of the fire. High winds and dry conditions are
fueling the inferno, which is so large it's creating its
own weather system.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Jim Lovell, who was.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
The commander of the Apollo thirteen mission, has passed away
at the age of ninety seven. His family shared that
he passed away his home in Illinois, but didn't share
the cause of his death. He went into space four
different times, including the the Apollo thirteen mission that the
Apollo thirteen movie was about. He wrote The Experience about
(03:50):
all of this in his nineteen ninety four book Lost Moon,
which inspired the ninety five movie Apollo thirteen. The star
Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton. This guy was
a This guy was a legend, so rip to him.
Someone used to explain to me, this little boo boo thing.
I just don't get it. We mean why I knowbody,
Oh god, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I have one, but it's not cursed like Paulina's.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So a group of masked thebs, so we're masked Theeves, Yeah,
stole about seven thousand dollars worth of La Boo Boo
dolls from an l A store last week. The incident
took place early Wednesday, which was the city which is
east of la These suspects used a stolen tot ay,
stole a car so so so grand theft meet grand,
(04:37):
theft of a little boobu So I stole Toyota Tacoma
to then go steal I mean this is a serious crime.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, Jason, so I caught.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I had a car jacket Tacoma to go steal dolls.
I mean imagine that. Imagine going to prison for that.
Hey man, what are you in for? I stole the
Boo boos? Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But what is it?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So? What is this exactly? I mean I know what
they our little dolls, but like what is where did
they come from? Why do we care? Someone explained.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
So it just shows the power of TikTok, because I
truly believe like they became popular because of TikTok, but
it's from a store called PopMart, which I believe is
believe that originates somewhere in Asia. And they're just like
these little like demon looking like things, little monsters.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
They're like beanie babies. Oh yeah, they're like Grannie babies.
Are the furbies of like this generation?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And how do we determine which ones are collectible and
which ones are valuable.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Currently because there are like so many they're like all
collectible at this point. But there's like super rare ones,
like a rainbow one that I want because pride.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But I haven't gotten that one yet.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Paulina's Pearla is like Annabelle today that we were not
on the radio.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
That was the first day that Pearla was sitting right
here in my chair from this room. Yeah, Purla's back
at home.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah. So the entire control system of this thing just
went black and we're blaming it on a La boob.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I mean I brought her here one day and then
things just went away.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yay. Hey, I'm I need to get rid of this
little but completely because I don't want anything to happen
to your home.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I'm having her a baptism. If you guys want to come.
Oh bring miney okay? I bring toffee? Yeah. Oh that's pretty.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's insane for her? Did you did you name they?
Or did you or was it already? Was they already named?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They were day them? They? Yeah? They were named?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I name mine?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
The world's ugliest dog has been crowned. The California pup
has been named the world's Ugliest Dog. The dog's name
is Petunia.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
This happened to Santa Rosa, California, at the Sonoma County Fair.
The hairless English French bulldog scored her owner Shannon five
thousand dollars. Organizers said that the contest has been running
for fifty years and Petunia will make a stop on
the Today Show this morning. Chick fil A has lost
its long standing crown as the best fast food drive
(06:54):
through in the US from USA Today a reader poll.
And this is not fair because not everywhere has this,
Like a lot of places don't have this. I'm not
sure if anyone listening to US has Del Taco. But
Del Taco, which is well known in California, La, specifically yes,
southern California, big varied menu, budget friendly prices, breakfast to
(07:16):
vegan options. So Del Taco is number one, Taco Bell
is number two, then Duncan, Chick fil A, and Raising Canes.
Those are your top five drive throughs. Do we agree?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I do think that the Chick fil A is very
efficient because now they have those. Some locations have that
like fast through lane or you don't even talk to anybody.
You just feel everything, You fill everything in your app,
scan the QR, you pull all the way around in
the separate lane, the hinge of your food, and you're gone.
It's like seconds.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
They have like air traffic controllers and a lot of them,
like people out there with their headsets taking your order.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Like way down the street. Yes, yeah, I can.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
See a menu, bro Like, yes, I know I'm going
to get the same thing.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
There's five things there I want to see. Do you
want a chicken sand was w a spicy chicken sandwich?
Do you want do you want to do you want
a chicken strip or a chicken nugget? And then do
you want mac and cheese or do you want waffle fries?
That's it? And then what do you want to drink?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Then I'd like to see it, like I feel so pressured.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We're all the way back here.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I haven't even seen them in you you ask me
what I want to do?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
What do you want? Are you asking me my name?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
And I got to give you a fake name every
time I go, And then when they call the fake name,
I forget that I gave them the fake names.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I don't want a shame to be I mean, why
are we getting fake names? What is shameful about eating
a chicken sandwich? Nothing? I just do it all the time. Yeah,
I left an option out. Do you want grilled or
do you want fries? It's not that hard.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Do you want apples or whatever you want? No, you
don't want apples. Don't even ask me if I want
the apples in a bag. I don't want apples in
a bag. I don't I like an apple, but I
don't want it here. I'm here, I'm a chick fil
You know what I'm saying. Look where I am right now?
You know the jewels.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Look at the condition I mean right now when I'm
eating this, like it's not pretty.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
None of this is pretty right now?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And I ordered four sandwiches and there's one person standing here,
and I don't have any friends, so what just you
know what.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
She's on a run.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Just give me my food and say my pleasure, and
I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
