Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
B ninety three Morning Show. I'm Alli Mack, I'm Mike.
Here are three things you should know today. Good news
if you are traveling for the fourth of July. Gas
prices trending downward in West Michigan after a recent spike.
Prices are dropping and could dip below three bucks a
gallon by the holiday. Experts say if you can wait
to fill up before you travel, you'll likely save a

(00:22):
little bit at the pump in the next couple of days.
Here Brian Coburger, remember that name, reportedly planning to plead
guilty now to the twenty twenty two murders of four
University of Idaho students in exchange for life in prison.
This allows him to avoid the death penalty. Prosecutors say
the deal spares of families years of appeals, though not

(00:44):
all relatives agree it's justice. A change of plea hearing
is set for tomorrow. Gat Ready, July is here and
usually it's West Michigan's hottest month of the year. Highs
in the eighties and nineties aren't uncommon, and this year
it's looking like it's going to be warmer than average,
which I know you're excited about it.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I love it. I've been waiting for this. I asked
Kirkwood yesterday, said, hey, how hot do we get? Like?
Are we gonna see heat waves like this? He's like,
it's the beginning of the summer. We're only starting with
the heat waves.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, not exactly sure what we're in for in terms
of rain, although it doesn't seem like anybody is super
concerned about droughts. But yeah, we are going to see
the heat and the humidity really ramp back up again
for the holiday weekend in just a couple of days here.
So yeah, like Mike said, we're gonna check in with
Kirkwood just after seven o'clock and get an idea for
what we're in for. But if the AC is on

(01:38):
the fritz, it's not the summer for that. No, no, yeah,
so prepare.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah. If I prepare, you mean I'm gonna wait to
the very last second until it goes out, and then
I have to call and then sleep with fans for
like a couple of weeks until I figure out. Then
I'm very prepared.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
That's three things you should know. Here is one you
probably shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
College students are going to go fundme to cover tuition
and student loan debt. If I knew this was an option,
I got about thirty grand I would like to crowdfund
if possible, I'll send out my cash app and my vendmo.
Nearly forty thousand students and organizations received funds in twenty
twenty four via go fundme for tuitions or tuition fees

(02:23):
and loan repayment. This marks a fifteen percent rise over
the previous year, reflecting the growing financial pressure facing students
with surging tuition, living costs and the and student loan repayments.
Many boers are financially squeezed. Crowdfunding offers a lifeline, but
experts warn it can come with emotional strain and shouldn't

(02:46):
replace traditional financial aid. I can't ever see myself actually
doing this. But if it worked, if I knew that
it worked, if I knew that, if I put a
sticker around my car that said please help go fund
my student loan, I might do it. I might do it.
I'm not knocking it.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I just I can't.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I can't see myself doing it.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, as of right now. Yeah, I feel like with GoFundMe,
it's like a charitable thing, Like you need a pretty
good reason yeah, yeah, not just I need money, money, please, money,
please exactly be naughty.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Three Sports Tigers play Washington in the beginning of their
three game series they started today at six twenty. You
