Speaker 1 (00:15):
Christine jo Christine.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Before I get into how stupid we are, I won't
say we people are. Did you guys see the Northern
lights last night?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
No? I saw people posting about them, but I did
not see them.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I saw delcas fretweeting a bunch of people that could
see the northern lights in Denton Fort Worth. I don't
think I saw any here in Dallas, but sure enough
you could see them here, and it's because of some
magnetic storm. And so all I cared about was, man,
I missed it? Can I see it again? And according
to the Great w F a A, you can see
them again tonight. Oh you just gotta wait. I mean
(01:01):
you got to get away from the city lights, which
is always a problem for me. I live in Bishop Arts,
but get away from the city lights. And it said
like late tonight, early morning, I.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Bet able to see them.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I bet Ben and Solina is far enough away from
city lights to maybe get a look.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Maybe. Yeah, there's a strip to Gunner.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I'll have to peek out side while I'm playing Call
of Duty.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
No, I think you can see him on Call of duty,
you probably can't. I think of things like that, Like
the other day, I saw a falling star and I'm like,
why do we just assume that that's a falling star.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
What if it's a.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Spaceship coming into our atmosphere and you see things like
the northern lights, Well we can't explain this. Well maybe
they can't, but I'm like, who, what is this strange phenomenon?
What if it's some sort of alien event that happens
all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I think you and I can't explain it. I think
knowledgeable people can.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
That's fair.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
November twenty first Age of disclosure. It's the movie Away, Yeah,
the Alien.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Are you saying we should stock up on gas and
groceries now? Yes, it's The Alien, a new movie.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah, it's the documentary we were talking about last week
where the guy Oh right, yeah, Marco Rubio And are
you talking alien aliens?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, no, no yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
So if I say barrista cup, do you know when
I'm talking? Oh yeah, it's beautiful barrista cup.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I know. Is it a competition for coffee makers? It's
the thirty coffee cups.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Coffee makers who wear a protective cup to protect their nuts.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
If people don't like the coffee the man's cute bear.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I'm assuming it's very similar. I had the worst experience.
I got a Moscow mule at a place and they
took my driver's license and I left with the cup
and left my driver's license behind me and the people
at the bar were able to find me later.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, did you get in trouble for I? Did you
wanted the copper mug? Yeah? I wanted that copper mud. Okay,
well this.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Is I guess kind of similar to that, but Katie
nailed it. It is just this little glass bear mug
that Starbucks started selling, and it is really cute.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's cute as hell.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's got a little uh like a little toboggan on it,
you know, a little thing. But people went insane for
whatever reason. I didn't even know these were on sale,
but people went crazy. They sold out, not only online
but everywhere in these Starbucks stores.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I gotta look this up. What's it called the Barista cup?
Barista cup?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
And not just did they go crazy, there were fights
breaking out over these stupid glass bear cups.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Okay, FC Dallas won the Okay, so I'm an idiot.
It's a bear it's a bear. Yeah, okay, b e
a R.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I'm a bear.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It's c through So it's thirty bucks. And the reason
people are fighting over them. There's a fight just in
Houston last week for play did you well? People are
reselling these for two hundred bucks free, five hundred and
six hundred dollars. They are reselling them for hundreds of
dollars and people are f and buying them. It's women,
(03:51):
and I don't understand why, Like this is like the
whole Stanley cup thing.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Why are you doing this for a cup? People? I
don't know that.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's the whole phenomenon of exit through the gift shop.
I'm trying as you as you get older, or at
least for me, I want less crap in my life.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I agree, I'm only thirty five.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, I'm trying to declutter. But commerce wants us to clutter.
I mean, they got so many trinkets and crap they
want us to buy.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
But also, have you seen the cup? So it's it's.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Glass, so it's whatever the bears, whatever color your coffee
drink is.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, that's pretty cool. It's pretty good cool. I want
to buy one and fill it with honey and pour
my honey.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
The thing is you can get the honey ones too,
so hib I think hgiv Walmart. There's a few other
retailers who are selling plastic versions of it, just to
like help help with the craze, you know whatever. And
then real quick, Apple just showcased the iPhone pocket today.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's going on self Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
What it is literally just kind of a purse where
you put your iPhone in. And I want you guys
to guess how much this thing is going for. I
guess it's they're marketing it for men.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And women eighty nine ninety nine and less than I
have no idea even what it is.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It sounds like a yeah, it's it's just like a
little tiny It just fits your iPhone in it and
you just put it. You can pop it around, yeah,
you can wrap it around, ouch your your shoulder. You
can actually put it on a bag too. Are you
seeing it, Ben?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
It is a phone sized mini purse and how much
I don't see the price?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Okay, Well, first off, the companies make that makes this
is the same company that made Steve jobs turtleneck.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Okay, that's what I read somewhere.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
So you can buy a short version for one hundred
and fifty dollars, good God. Or a long version for
two hundred and thirty dollars. What a terrible deal with
an iPhone.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Or you could just put it in your back pocket.
Season I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Hold on, Kip Christina, fantastic work. That absolutely is proof
that we are getting dumber as a society. All right,
coming up next, what's going on? And Dallas, the Dallas
Zoo loses a breakdancing gorilla and that's going down in
the All Time Teas Hall of Fame.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
