Six, twenty two B ninety three Morning Show. I'm Ali,
Max g I'm Mike. Here are three things you should
know today. Hate to be the bearer of bad news,
but they are talking about raising natural gas rates in
twenty twenty six. So here's how they're proposing this consumer's energy.
They are raising natural gas rates by two hundred and
forty million. That would increase the average residential bill about
(00:22):
eight point two percent. Now, regulators often reduce these requests
after a month's long review, and any new rates if
this gets approved, would not take effect until late next year.
Consumer advocates say the annual pace of rate hike requests
is a little bit concerning. They're coming a little faster,
they're coming a little bit more often.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
They say.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
The increases fund safety upgrades and keep service reliable. Again,
this does have to be approved, and if it does
get approved, would be late twenty twenty six. Winter officially
arrives this weekend with the Winter Solstice. That happens Saturday
at ten oh three. As on the dot, Welcome Winter.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Ah Rah yay.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That also means it's the shortest day and longest night
of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
But here's the good news.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
After Saturday, daylight slowly starts making a comeback.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So we'll take the tiny wins where we can get them.
Right right.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
After months of delays tied to the federal government shut down,
the winning art prize piece, that four hundred pound glass
tapestry at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum is free.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yay.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Artist Mark Lwanski says he is now looking for a buyer,
and he hopes the piece can stay in or around
ground rapids.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Mark, I wouldn't want to move four hundred pounds of
glass either.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Noah, it looks good.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
There looks good.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's good, looks great.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
There. Maybe I'll just stay right there. That's three things
you should know. Here's one you probably shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
This is according to Psychology Today. Instead of wish list,
get people this holiday season to share their bucket list.
With the holidays and full swing, we've seen all those
long wish lis packed with gadgets and stuff, But one
psychologist argues the best way to think about giving and
getting is encouraging people to share their bucket lists the
experiences in meaningful moments they truly want to have, instead
(02:12):
of just asking for things off a store list. Researchers
have found have long found that experiences tend to make
people happier and stick with us longer than material objects
because they shape memories and meaning into our lives. Yes,
but I also do like the new iPhone.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So let's is that on your Christmas list?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
No? No, no, no, I'm just kidding. I would do
the bucket listing. I think if that was an option,
if I was like, hey, guys, someday I want to
take a boat, like a not a yacht, but like
a bigger, larger boat like my dad used to have,
and drive it around like Michigan for like two weeks,
and like stay at all these different ports, And if
that was an option to like somehow turn that into
(02:50):
a Christmas gift, absolutely, but like that's a bucket list
I would like to. Now I added one take a
train and go across the entire country, but stopping at
different with no time or strength, right, I could just
go And my wife and I were like, yeah, we'll
take a train across the country, not if I needed
to be somewhere quick, but like if I had could
do anything. I don't know how those turn into Christmas gifts,
(03:12):
but I like the idea behind experiences over like gifts.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, you know, I'd rather like go out to dinner together, yeah,
or I don't know, go to a show together. Like
the experiences the older I get. Yeah. Yeah, like instead
of doing adult gifts this year and my family, we're
all just going to save the money and like we're
all gonna do like a family trip somewhere.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, that's kind of what Chicago was for us. Yeah,
it was my mom. I mean she'll get the kids
gifts or whatever, but that was our that was our gift.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, we'll probably end up spending more money on the
actual trip than we do on the gifts, but then you.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Come back with a couple of material.
Speaker 2 (03:46):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
