Speaker 2 (02:04):
How about you read TV, the entertainment world and whatever.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Here's what you missed on next zil Nightty Tree. Well,
of course, last week, everybody talking about Jimmy Kimmel and
his suspension. An emotional Jimmy returned to Late Night last
night after a show was pulled last Wednesday, and here
were some of his opening comments on the controversy.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I've been hearing a lot about what I need to
say and do tonight, and the truth is, I don't
think what I have to say is going to make
much of a difference. If you like me, you like me.
If you don't, you don't. I have no illusions about
changing anyone's mind. But I do want to make something
clear because it's important to me as a human and
that is you understand that it was never my intention
to make light of the murder of a young man.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't think there's anything funny about it.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I posted a message on Instagram of the naves killed,
sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and
I meant it. I still do, Nor was in my
intention to blame any specific group for the actions of
what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I don't think the.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a
sick person who believed violence was a solution.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And it isn't ever whether you like Jimmy or not.
That is absolutely well said. We don't need to jump
to conclusions on oh the guy who did this was
on this side of the plicle spectro mark this side
just a very disturbed, terrible person. Another time, Jimmy Kimmel
got choked up last night over the weekend, a very
(03:41):
beautiful moment.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I don't know if you saw this on Sunday, Erica
Kirk forgave the man who shot her husband.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
She forgave him.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That is an example we should follow if you believe
in the teachings of Jesus as I do.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
There it was.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
That's it, a selfless act of grace forgiveness from a
grieving widow.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
It touched me deeply. Jimmy Kimmel on Erica Kirk's graceful
act of forgiveness. Well done, Jimmy Kimmel. You like him,
you don't like him, Well done last night for sure.
All right, deep breath, Let's get a little more lighthearted
as we tend to do. Let's get into our question
(04:29):
of the day. I want to get you into some
fun this weekend coming up here in a couple of sellings.
So I saw this story out of France. I do
with that. I always lose my France stories. You know me.
There we go, mon jee, I mean just let's take
it back a little. Nobody sends letters in the mail anymore,
(04:50):
but maybe we should. Its still fun, novelty, no shortage
of more efficient ways of messaging somebody. Maybe we'd be
more likely to send letters if this was a thing.
If postage stamps smelled like freshly baked bread. For example,
France has just released new scratch and sniff stamps that
(05:11):
smelled like a bagette. They ink apparently has microcapsules that
provide the scent. The stamp also has an image of
a baguette decorated with a red, white and blue ribbon.
It's celebrating Saint Honaree, the patron saint of bakers and
pastry chaffs, and generally the bag at is a symbol
of a national pride in France. So I thought self,
(05:35):
we could have this discussion. France has scratch and sniff
postage stamps and smell like bagattes. But if we did
this here in America, and again let's not get all
political here, I prefer we don't. What do you think
we did this? You're in charge, You're the head postage person.
If America has scratch and sniff postage stamp, what should
(05:58):
it smell like Bernanda says, if America had a scratch
and sniff stamp, it should smell like freedom. I'm talking
to Mikes. A barbecue from a Fourth of July cookout.
I mean, you can do a whole series. I like this,
So the barbecue from the Fourth of July cookout, fresh
cut grass from the grass from a baseball field, and
just a hint of apple pie. Because nothing screams America
(06:21):
like eating way too much at a family reunion and
playing some ball in the yard. There's something soothing to
about the fresh cut grass barbecue stamp. I think too
many people might lick at. Do you have a scratch
and sniff stickers? If you guys remember those, I'm sure
you've licked one or two. I can't be the only one,
but thank you for sharing. Fernando. What do you guys
(06:42):
think if America had a scratch and sniff postage stamp?
What should it smell like? Barb just as tropical, another
relaxing smell. But what is tropical to you? Is it
like a tropical juicy drink on a cold January day?
You can get that escape for a moment that hey,
it's not twenty five below outside with the snow blowing sideways.
Excel manty three. Hey, good morning, oh hey, or good morning,
(07:06):
good day? Who is this? Don? Don? Did you hear?
France has now got scratching sniff postage stamps that smell
like bagas if we did something like that here in America?
What would you like our stamps to smell like?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Vanilla?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Vanilla is? It's just a pleasant odor.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You can't be in a bad mood if you're hopped
up on vanilla ella ella. All right, don, beautiful. They
can do all the ice cream flavors. Next month you
can have strawberry. Then chocolate comes out from the Neapolitan
stamp collection. All right, I have to I've always got
to go too far. I'll settle now. Hey, Don, can
(07:52):
we get you to Lee Bryce Shields Arena Fargo on
Saturday nights?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Excellent? Where you at today? Like cund nice, enjoy the
beautiful day? And don? What station as we roll ninety
three minutes? Commercial free right now? Is proud to be
your counsel connection? Excellent Excel twenty three. The forks a
music station. You are the postal general. That's the term
(08:20):
I think the postmaster general Postmaster General pressure has been
applied to you. France has this successful campaign you scratch
and sniff stamps that smell like a baguette. I think
apparently as microcapsules that provide the scent. What if we
did something similar here in the US of A? What should?
What would you want these stamps to smell like and
(08:42):
feel free to? We can do a whole series. We
can have different you can have different scents here, Jerry says,
I think the stamp should smell like a crowded diner
at seven am. Coffee, pancakes, the sweet surpy promise of
a new day. It's that blend of hope and caffeine
(09:03):
that really gets America going. Every time you'd scratch it,
you'd be reminded of those mornings when you're optimistic about everything,
even before your first cup of coffee. The world is
your oyster first thing in the morning, isn't it. You
can't control everything. Hopefully you have a good day. They
all won't be great, but just start with that scent
(09:25):
of hope, the caffeine, the pancakes, the sweet surfey promise,
or you'll just be really hungry for a really good
breakfast every morning. Apple have a whole series. That's fine,
that works good. I get you the Cold Swindell d
Bryce about sixty seconds, you're going to fire off some
touchstones here. Pick the concert you want to see Saturday night.
Corey just saying Apple or Pumpkin Pine, not the pie
(09:47):
series Apple and Pumpkin the notoriously American favorite flavors pie
power ranking. It's so tough. Else have Blueberry in their
top three? If America had a scratch and sniff postage stamp,
(10:08):
what should it smell like? And so far? I give
you guys all props for being nice. We're not getting
politically heated here, coming right up and drending today was
actually healthy to find most people thinking it's not enjoy
this stand by excel Nutty three. Hey what is your name? Hey? Cory,
(10:36):
you're the postmaster general. If America had a scratch and
sniff postage stamp like France does, what should it smell like?
Apple or punkin pie? Do we do a whole pie series?
I mean, I get it. Are those are the America pies?
But yeah, Blueberry needs some love to Yeah the pie series?
(10:58):
I like it? Cory?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Are we sending you to Cole Swindell on Saturday at
the Elever Center. Maybe lead Bryce and Chilserna and Fargo.
Let's get you to Cole Swindell. Thank you, three more sleeps.
You're there. If you can tell me what station is
proud to be your concert connection.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Ninety three am my trending testag trending on xcel naighty three.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
All right, this is a pretty big list, so you
guys are gonna have to check out a lot of
this axcel nutty three dot com trevity page. It seems
like we're constantly hearing about things that are supposed to
be healthy. It turns out maybe not so much. Margarine diet,
SODA's snack, Well's cookies, vitamin water, Stanning for Vitamin d
(11:51):
well plot twist. Though someone asked the Internet was actually
healthy despite most people thinking it's not, people came up
with some fun answers of Most of them aren't totally healthy,
just not on healthy. Like daydreaming. It can be a
form of focusing and meditation. Tell your boss that taking
breaks when you feel unproductive it isn't lazy. It can
be a reset. Others also mentioned midday naps, which can
(12:13):
be remodelizing and energizing. Frozen vegetables get a bad rap.
A lot of veggies are frozen within hours of being picked,
blocking in the nutrients. Frozen dinner is not so much
now that hungry man dinner. Probably not so what's actually
healthy to but most people thinking it's not. MSG is
basically just salt, salt in general, and fat and sugar,
(12:36):
especially when you're cooking it whole where you can control
it and know you aren't being slammed with hidden amounts eggs.
Some people still act like eating eggs is just a
daily cholesterol bomb, but they're super a nutrient dense carbs.
People demonize them, but whole grains and fruits are literally
fuel for your brain. Oh potatoes, I'm glad to see
(12:56):
it there on the list. They get a bad rap,
don't they. They're usually prepared for the lot of oil
and butter, fried or processed into chips, but if you roast, bake,
air fry, or boil them, they're quite possibly the healthiest
starchy carm you can eat now. Baked potato sounds delicious today.
A lot of potato lo popcorn on the list. It's
high end fiber, lots of benefits too. But again, like
(13:20):
a lot of these foods, is how they are prepared.
How much butter you're dumping on it? Hamburgers. The unhealthiest
part of the burgers the bun. Everything else is pretty
solid fullest what's actually healthy despite most people thinking it's not.
Somebody joked, I'm hoping somebody says ice cream and donuts.
But somebody else added they are moon boosters in moderation.
I think that's the key. Not everything's healthy for everyone,
(13:43):
but a good reminder most things are fine in moderation.
They make you feel good. You need that for the
mental too. It's trending. It's all up at Excel ninety
three dot com, the Trivity page.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Bet you did not random facts coming at you now,
that's a fine Excel Natty three.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Thankspot you wants by the Blue Moose Bar and grill
enjoyed fresh Canadian Walleye especially priced every Wednesday starting at
five Blue Mosey Strand Ports. And maybe you didn't know,
It's time to Welcome to the show One, the only,
the one they called Courtney barshtead logan for me XP
Realty from Grid City's Living Courtney who, Yeah, we've got
(14:27):
so facts, you got buying and selling input for the masses,
and we're going to talk about scratch and sniff postage stamps.
I love. Did you ever lick them? Because I know
I did. I think we all at one point you
had to see if they tasted like they smelled, and
they never did.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I you know what, tremor, I've got to be asked.
I've never licked one, but I appreciate you sharing that.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I liked to look dangerously Courtney. I don't know if
you knew. I grew up on the wrong side of
the Cult of San.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Crona well, and you know, maybe they were different in Canada,
you know, so they never did taste like anything.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
You don't lick stamps, don't like scratching snaffs. We could
give you a whole list of things not to put
in your mouth, but we don't have time for that
right now.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
They were just so so good, so good. It's like
my mister, sketch markers. They smell so good.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Don't like them up end up with that that marker
under your nose all day? Oh yeah, why are you
ready for facts?
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I am.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Let's get this one out of the way so you
can send people directly to your broker, your head person
at the office for the complaints today. I know we
always have to we have to find something, So let's
start with this bench. Did know, Courtney? There are at
least three animals that get it on for pleasure and
not just to reproduce. Of course, we have peoples people want.
You want to take a guess. Bunnies so close bottle boats?
(15:55):
You think that so many bunnies bunnies would be the answer?
Bottom bos and then dolphins making the list too. What
did you say? Bonnable b o n O bos?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Do we know what that is?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I think they're monkey ish.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Oh that makes sense. I can see monkeys doing that. Yeah, yeah,
monkeys and dolphins. Huh. Dolphins always look like they're happy though,
so yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
They do, don't they? The bonnables are monkeys? Just Google
and we searched them. Bench didn't know. See, now we
got that out of the way.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yeah. Two facts in one.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
This is a fun fact based on the average life
expectancy in the US. If you're eighteen years old, you
only have about three one hundred and sixty weekends left
in your life. If you're forty, you only have about
twenty fifteen left day. But we're positively taking out of
this is make the most of your days.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
That's true. Yeah two thousand wee, wow.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Okay, make the most of your days. Do you ever
watch Scrubs?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
A little bit?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Pretty much? Living by TLC and no Scrubs for me
was kind of my thing. I've seen it a couple
of times. I don't think I've seen an episode from
start to finish, but this is still interesting. There was
an episode of Scrubs in two thousand and two where
Zach Braffitt Sarah Chalk's characters were bungee jumping and they
had stunt doubles to the jump. So there's stunt doubles
met on the set that day and wound up getting married.
(17:22):
Kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
That's so cool.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
That's a Hallmark movie. But then the part that isn't
they've since been divorced.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Oh wow, you yay?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Oh wow?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I have a very random fact.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Titanic. Yeah, the movie Titanic. You know, you need like
a two three vacation days. We're going to get through
that movie from start to finish. The song My Heart
Will Go On almost didn't happen because director James Cameron
didn't like it, and neither did Celine Dionne. Obviously, they
both went ahead with it anyway and later changed their minds. Later,
(18:00):
Selene said quote, I'm glad I sang the song. I'm
so happy that my people didn't listen to everything I say.
One of the people who encouraged her to do it
was her late husband, Renee and jell I So Jello
and jell I A and g l I l her
late husband Renee Renee.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Jell Yello, and I was like, Jello is encouraging her.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Okay, Yes, I love that.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
It's weird that the two main people didn't like it,
but it was like.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Let's do it.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Fine.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, did it and turned out to work okay for
both of them.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I think it was well well done. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Who's your favorite McDonald's character.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Probably Oh my gosh, why am I the Purple guys? Grimit?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I plan this Griffins's brother doesn't get any airtime. That's
a stunt. Double Yeah, Grimace. Bet you didn't know. McDonald's
character Grimace was originally evil. In nineteen seventy one, he
was called Evil Grimace and his goal is to steal milkshakes,
but by nineteen seventy two. They turned them into a
purple monster who was a good guy in not very
(19:06):
bright purple moron embrace, Grimace, Grimace. I mean the Hamburger
is still a bad guy, isn't he he is?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, the Hamburglar, Yep, he's a crazy one. They need
to bring those back. The understand why we don't. Yeah,
McDonald's trying to be too fancy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Now bring back the O G characters. That's what I've gone.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
For you today, you know, bring in. Speaking of bringing
back I've got I do have this Today's show on
in the background, and they're talking about the comeback of
the Hamburger Helper. With the economy, people are really diving back.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Into the Hamburger Helper is delicious, but you have to
double it up. You need to addices. Yeah, they had
some vegetables. It's going to be blind if you do
it by the box, but downle it up with a
few extras. You've got hanging around the fridge, the fridge,
the freezer, throwing some spices.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
And I feel like they blanded it a bit, like
they probably it probably was like not very healthy and
then they like made it. But like I tried, it
probably a few years ago again, you know, and I
was like, oh, this isn't It doesn't pack a punch
like it used to.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So Jesy and Schilada number one the power rankings at
Trevor's house.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Ah no, we're a lasagna and.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I thought we were friends.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Sorry, I can't, Hamburger Helper.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, I'm over right. We can still beat pals. I
don't have a lot of friends, Courtney here, I am.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Well, let me tell you a little bit about that was.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
A ramble tangent.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Huh yeah, Hamburger Helper. Let me tell you about the
housing market though. Okay, everybody everybody keeps talking about the rates, like, oh,
the raid's going to go down. I'm keep an eye
on the rates. And when rates go down, that means
interest in Holmes, interest as in, uh I am interested
in buying a house goes up, and so does the competition.
(21:01):
And if you have kept a foot or a toe
in the market in the Grand Cities, you know it's
always pretty competitive, especially in certain price range. So if
you're like, oh, if the rate drops just slightly, I
think I'm gonna I think I want to go for it.
Now would be a really good time to shop to
(21:22):
look in to visit with a lender about if it
dropped within that time of me shopping, you know, what
does that look like for me? But I would get
I would get myself into the market if I'm even
slightly interested right now before everybody does. Because it's a
popular thing to do. So if you have questions, if
(21:45):
you want to just kind of grab coffee and discuss
what does that look like for me, I'm always happy
to do that. I will always point you in the
direction of a good lender first, so I will help
people reaching out saying hey, I want to house hunt,
I want to do this thing, and I'm like, yes,
let's get you get the finances figured out. Uh, so
we'll do that first. Feel free to give you a
(22:05):
holler seven zero one five eight zero two zero two four.
You can find me on the socials very sure all
kinds of tidbits and tricks at Grand Cities Living. Or
if you're offended that Trevor has to doll up his
hamburger helper, feel free to reach out to my broker
at excialty dot com.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Did I mentioned I grew up on the wrong side
of the cult the sacs. That's why I do these
things I do in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Yeah, it's you fancy though.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Getting all up in my kitchen, Courtney, you fancy question
does your today? So France they've done this thing where
they're making their their stamps scratch and sniff. Hopefully people
are going to write more letters, I guess. But smelling
like a bag as a very French big the ink
(22:52):
apparently as microcapsules that provide the scant If we did
the same thing in America, what should what would you
like our stamps to smell like?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Maybe like apple pie would be kind of like a
good one. I feel like all stamps smell like bagettes,
so that's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, they don't they take news.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Yeah, I feel like are is probably smelling a bag at?
So yeah, probably apple pie or like I would say
hot dog. That'd be disgusting.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Can make a wider stamp for like do seasonal? Yeah
we can do seasonal, so we can do a whole series, Courtney.
We are posting master generals today.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yeah, we can do whatever we want. But yeah, I
think that's so fake. Like, go smell a stamp today
and be like, yeah, that does smell like a bag
at because it's just what a bag at smell like paper?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And once again, don't like a stamp, well like the
back of the stamp. Don't like the front of the stamp.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Well, they're all sticky.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
You don't like a stamp at all. Keep the stamps
out of your mouth.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yep today, keep it all out your mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Friend, oh Man, good advice. I don't know how we're
going to top this next week, but we'll try next Wednesday.

awards more on my Excel ninety three. So same day
delivery services are convenient for food, may last minute toilet paper,
re stocking, inflatable unicorns for spontaneous pull parties. You know
the essentials, but they're not ideal for procuring murder supplies.
(25:00):
Let me explain. Monday morning, a door Dash driver alerted
police after making a very strange delivery to a motel
in Sweetwater, Texas. The complete list of items hasn't been released,
but word has it. The delivery incloded trash bags, zip ties, bleach,
a hatchet, and more. I mean fairly obvious. At least
(25:21):
try to disguise by adding a unicorn pool float. It's
like ordering the things you need to make a body
disappear kit, please say. Forty two year old Neil Cooper
placed an order on door Dash for these kidnapping slash
murder tools. When the cops showed up the motel room,
Neil refused to leave in warrant officers that he was armed.
(25:45):
While the cops forced their way in found a hostage inside.
The hostage was rescued but later arrested on an outstanding warrant.
No word on their identity, but it sounds like the
warrant was drug related. Neil was arrested for aggravated kidnapping
and there may be additional charge is It's unclear what
he planned to do with the victim, but clearly it
looks like it could have been a bad situation. A
(26:05):
lot of people praise the driver for acting after seeing
the red flags. You know, see something, say something. I
think that's a good way to be just in case,
but others weren't sure. One person commented, quote, I'm glad
it worked out for you the best this time, But
do you really want your door dash driver to sounding
your order suspicious and calling the cops? Quote I want
(26:28):
to tell that driver you don't get paid to think
you get paid to deliver things. Sounds like somebody else
might be ordering murder supplies to their house. Nonetheless, just
taking a step back here. Delivery driver in Texas called
the cops after getting a suspicious order, which was supposed
to go to a hotel. Cops later found a suspect
of the hostage inside, and forty two year old Neil Cooper,
(26:51):
who places the door Dash order, will end up with
the Wednesday Morning More on a ward hour eighth trip
to Texas in twenty twenty five, Let's.

it's not the brightest fog right now, but I wouldn't
(28:26):
say dense outside question of the day today, if America
had a scratching sniff stamp. What should it smell like?
Franks has imagined off the stamp smell like a state
fair bottle cakes, fried dough and livestock. Yep, that's America
in a nutshell, a little bit sweet, a little bit greasy,
and just a hint of cow. Each letter you send
(28:46):
would be a reminder of why we walked around those
fars every year eating things that should definitely not be

(29:31):
back in time. I always say, it's got to be
so tough living in the single world today. But what
about two thousand years ago. You're on some old school
dating advice. It doesn't get much older than this. Someone
look back at dating advice from a poet in ancient
Rome named Ovid obid Ovid, and some of it still
(29:52):
rings true today. Here are three dating tips from two
thousand years ago that still apply. Number one, you have
to make an effort. Oh had told men they shouldn't
expect their soulmate just to magically appear. You have to
put yourself out there quote. She will not come floating
down to you through the tenuous air. She must be sucked,
(30:13):
so put in the effort. Number two, you probably won't
find them at a bar. He also said you won't
choose the right person if you're drunk. Makes sense. And
number three, don't look like a slob quote. Do not
let your nails project, and let them be free of dirts,
nor let any hair be in the hollow of your nostrils,
(30:34):
and let not the breadth of your mouth be sour
and unpleasing. In other words, brush your teeth, cut your nails,
and pluck those darn nosehairs three. Dating tips from a
poet and ancient rom that still apply today. You've got
to make the effort because they won't just show up
at your door. You probably won't find the right person
while you're drunk. I used then won't show up at
your door legally. Yeah, probably won't find the right person
(30:55):
when you're drunk and don't look like a slob. He
literally told men to pluck their nose hair do years ago.
Dating tips that still apply today. Excel Nuty three, coming
right up National punctuation Day, and apparently we're anti semi colon.
Let's get into that together next, AXL Nutty three. Hello, Well, hey,

Yes, that'd be that'd be pretty.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Let's root it up, Hey, Jasmine, what do you know

but four passes to go. When you like, you can
tell me what station is proud to be a Nelson's
Pumpkin Patch connection. Excellent. Time for one more thing on
(35:24):
Excel ninety three one more terms, one more one. Well,
if you've been racking your brain trying to figure out
why today is so special, it's because it's National Punctuation Day.
Recent pull. Most Americans say they very often use periods
it's seventy two percent and capital letters sixty four percent
(35:46):
in their writing. Less than ten percent of people say
they rarely use periods or capitals. Here's the rest of
the breakdown. Commas fifty five percent very often use them,
ten percent rarely contractions, forty nine percent very often, sixteen
percent rarely do question marks, thirty nine percent very often
use them, twenty one percent rarely do quotation marks, twenty
(36:07):
one percent twenty seven excuse me, very often use them,
thirty two percent rarely do National Punctuation Day stants exclamation points,
twenty five percent of us very often use them, thirty
seven percent rarely breentheses nineteen percent very often, thirty nine
percent rarely hyphen sixteen percent very often, forty eight percent
rarely dashes, fifteen percent very often, fifteen fifty percent rarely.
(36:31):
But you didn't know thereice this many different punctuations. Then
there's the colons and semi colons. Thirteen percent very often
use the colons, fifty four percent rarely, and as far
as the semis go eleven percent very often, fifty seven
percent rarely do not. Surprisingly, self described good writers are
more likely to use the rarer forms of punctuation. But
how many of us are good writers? Seventy one percent
(36:52):
of Americans claim to be good writers, including twenty four
percent who say they're very good. Eighteen percent say they're
not very good. Five percent not good at all. I'd
like to say I'm very good, but i'd like to
say'm very good at a lot of stuff. And the
number one type of writing Americans do, are you shocked?
It's text messaging, email second, followed by work documents, and
(37:13):
I would say there's a sharp drop off after that.
Journal entries, nonfiction, essays, poetry or songs, and fiction including
short stories and novels. But hey, happy National Punctuation Day.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
Exclamation by stay sal in here, question marks, ask lots.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
How about you read TV, the entertainment world and whatever.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Here's what you missed on next zil Nightty Tree. Well,
of course, last week, everybody talking about Jimmy Kimmel and
his suspension. An emotional Jimmy returned to Late Night last
night after a show was pulled last Wednesday, and here
were some of his opening comments on the controversy.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I've been hearing a lot about what I need to
say and do tonight, and the truth is, I don't
think what I have to say is going to make
much of a difference. If you like me, you like me.
If you don't, you don't. I have no illusions about
changing anyone's mind. But I do want to make something
clear because it's important to me as a human and
that is you understand that it was never my intention
to make light of the murder of a young man.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't think there's anything funny about it.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I posted a message on Instagram of the naves killed,
sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and
I meant it. I still do, Nor was in my
intention to blame any specific group for the actions of
what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I don't think the.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a
sick person who believed violence was a solution.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And it isn't ever whether you like Jimmy or not.
That is absolutely well said. We don't need to jump
to conclusions on oh the guy who did this was
on this side of the plicle spectro mark this side
just a very disturbed, terrible person. Another time, Jimmy Kimmel
got choked up last night over the weekend, a very
(03:41):
beautiful moment.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I don't know if you saw this on Sunday, Erica
Kirk forgave the man who shot her husband.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
She forgave him.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That is an example we should follow if you believe
in the teachings of Jesus as I do.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
There it was.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
That's it, a selfless act of grace forgiveness from a
grieving widow.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
It touched me deeply. Jimmy Kimmel on Erica Kirk's graceful
act of forgiveness. Well done, Jimmy Kimmel. You like him,
you don't like him, Well done last night for sure.
All right, deep breath, Let's get a little more lighthearted
as we tend to do. Let's get into our question
(04:29):
of the day. I want to get you into some
fun this weekend coming up here in a couple of sellings.
So I saw this story out of France. I do
with that. I always lose my France stories. You know me.
There we go, mon jee, I mean just let's take
it back a little. Nobody sends letters in the mail anymore,
(04:50):
but maybe we should. Its still fun, novelty, no shortage
of more efficient ways of messaging somebody. Maybe we'd be
more likely to send letters if this was a thing.
If postage stamps smelled like freshly baked bread. For example,
France has just released new scratch and sniff stamps that
(05:11):
smelled like a bagette. They ink apparently has microcapsules that
provide the scent. The stamp also has an image of
a baguette decorated with a red, white and blue ribbon.
It's celebrating Saint Honaree, the patron saint of bakers and
pastry chaffs, and generally the bag at is a symbol
of a national pride in France. So I thought self,
(05:35):
we could have this discussion. France has scratch and sniff
postage stamps and smell like bagattes. But if we did
this here in America, and again let's not get all
political here, I prefer we don't. What do you think
we did this? You're in charge, You're the head postage person.
If America has scratch and sniff postage stamp, what should
(05:58):
it smell like Bernanda says, if America had a scratch
and sniff stamp, it should smell like freedom. I'm talking
to Mikes. A barbecue from a Fourth of July cookout.
I mean, you can do a whole series. I like this,
So the barbecue from the Fourth of July cookout, fresh
cut grass from the grass from a baseball field, and
just a hint of apple pie. Because nothing screams America
(06:21):
like eating way too much at a family reunion and
playing some ball in the yard. There's something soothing to
about the fresh cut grass barbecue stamp. I think too
many people might lick at. Do you have a scratch
and sniff stickers? If you guys remember those, I'm sure
you've licked one or two. I can't be the only one,
but thank you for sharing. Fernando. What do you guys
(06:42):
think if America had a scratch and sniff postage stamp?
What should it smell like? Barb just as tropical, another
relaxing smell. But what is tropical to you? Is it
like a tropical juicy drink on a cold January day?
You can get that escape for a moment that hey,
it's not twenty five below outside with the snow blowing sideways.
Excel manty three. Hey, good morning, oh hey, or good morning,
(07:06):
good day? Who is this? Don? Don? Did you hear?
France has now got scratching sniff postage stamps that smell
like bagas if we did something like that here in America?
What would you like our stamps to smell like?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Vanilla?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Vanilla is? It's just a pleasant odor.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You can't be in a bad mood if you're hopped
up on vanilla ella ella. All right, don, beautiful. They
can do all the ice cream flavors. Next month you
can have strawberry. Then chocolate comes out from the Neapolitan
stamp collection. All right, I have to I've always got
to go too far. I'll settle now. Hey, Don, can
(07:52):
we get you to Lee Bryce Shields Arena Fargo on
Saturday nights?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Excellent? Where you at today? Like cund nice, enjoy the
beautiful day? And don? What station as we roll ninety
three minutes? Commercial free right now? Is proud to be
your counsel connection? Excellent Excel twenty three. The forks a
music station. You are the postal general. That's the term
(08:20):
I think the postmaster general Postmaster General pressure has been
applied to you. France has this successful campaign you scratch
and sniff stamps that smell like a baguette. I think
apparently as microcapsules that provide the scent. What if we
did something similar here in the US of A? What should?
What would you want these stamps to smell like and
(08:42):
feel free to? We can do a whole series. We
can have different you can have different scents here, Jerry says,
I think the stamp should smell like a crowded diner
at seven am. Coffee, pancakes, the sweet surpy promise of
a new day. It's that blend of hope and caffeine
(09:03):
that really gets America going. Every time you'd scratch it,
you'd be reminded of those mornings when you're optimistic about everything,
even before your first cup of coffee. The world is
your oyster first thing in the morning, isn't it. You
can't control everything. Hopefully you have a good day. They
all won't be great, but just start with that scent
(09:25):
of hope, the caffeine, the pancakes, the sweet surfey promise,
or you'll just be really hungry for a really good
breakfast every morning. Apple have a whole series. That's fine,
that works good. I get you the Cold Swindell d
Bryce about sixty seconds, you're going to fire off some
touchstones here. Pick the concert you want to see Saturday night.
Corey just saying Apple or Pumpkin Pine, not the pie
(09:47):
series Apple and Pumpkin the notoriously American favorite flavors pie
power ranking. It's so tough. Else have Blueberry in their
top three? If America had a scratch and sniff postage stamp,
(10:08):
what should it smell like? And so far? I give
you guys all props for being nice. We're not getting
politically heated here, coming right up and drending today was
actually healthy to find most people thinking it's not enjoy
this stand by excel Nutty three. Hey what is your name? Hey? Cory,
(10:36):
you're the postmaster general. If America had a scratch and
sniff postage stamp like France does, what should it smell like?
Apple or punkin pie? Do we do a whole pie series?
I mean, I get it. Are those are the America pies?
But yeah, Blueberry needs some love to Yeah the pie series?
(10:58):
I like it? Cory?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Are we sending you to Cole Swindell on Saturday at
the Elever Center. Maybe lead Bryce and Chilserna and Fargo.
Let's get you to Cole Swindell. Thank you, three more sleeps.
You're there. If you can tell me what station is
proud to be your concert connection.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Ninety three am my trending testag trending on xcel naighty three.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
All right, this is a pretty big list, so you
guys are gonna have to check out a lot of
this axcel nutty three dot com trevity page. It seems
like we're constantly hearing about things that are supposed to
be healthy. It turns out maybe not so much. Margarine diet,
SODA's snack, Well's cookies, vitamin water, Stanning for Vitamin d
(11:51):
well plot twist. Though someone asked the Internet was actually
healthy despite most people thinking it's not, people came up
with some fun answers of Most of them aren't totally healthy,
just not on healthy. Like daydreaming. It can be a
form of focusing and meditation. Tell your boss that taking
breaks when you feel unproductive it isn't lazy. It can
be a reset. Others also mentioned midday naps, which can
(12:13):
be remodelizing and energizing. Frozen vegetables get a bad rap.
A lot of veggies are frozen within hours of being picked,
blocking in the nutrients. Frozen dinner is not so much
now that hungry man dinner. Probably not so what's actually
healthy to but most people thinking it's not. MSG is
basically just salt, salt in general, and fat and sugar,
(12:36):
especially when you're cooking it whole where you can control
it and know you aren't being slammed with hidden amounts eggs.
Some people still act like eating eggs is just a
daily cholesterol bomb, but they're super a nutrient dense carbs.
People demonize them, but whole grains and fruits are literally
fuel for your brain. Oh potatoes, I'm glad to see
(12:56):
it there on the list. They get a bad rap,
don't they. They're usually prepared for the lot of oil
and butter, fried or processed into chips, but if you roast, bake,
air fry, or boil them, they're quite possibly the healthiest
starchy carm you can eat now. Baked potato sounds delicious today.
A lot of potato lo popcorn on the list. It's
high end fiber, lots of benefits too. But again, like
(13:20):
a lot of these foods, is how they are prepared.
How much butter you're dumping on it? Hamburgers. The unhealthiest
part of the burgers the bun. Everything else is pretty
solid fullest what's actually healthy despite most people thinking it's not.
Somebody joked, I'm hoping somebody says ice cream and donuts.
But somebody else added they are moon boosters in moderation.
I think that's the key. Not everything's healthy for everyone,
(13:43):
but a good reminder most things are fine in moderation.
They make you feel good. You need that for the
mental too. It's trending. It's all up at Excel ninety
three dot com, the Trivity page.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Bet you did not random facts coming at you now,
that's a fine Excel Natty three.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Thankspot you wants by the Blue Moose Bar and grill
enjoyed fresh Canadian Walleye especially priced every Wednesday starting at
five Blue Mosey Strand Ports. And maybe you didn't know,
It's time to Welcome to the show One, the only,
the one they called Courtney barshtead logan for me XP
Realty from Grid City's Living Courtney who, Yeah, we've got
(14:27):
so facts, you got buying and selling input for the masses,
and we're going to talk about scratch and sniff postage stamps.
I love. Did you ever lick them? Because I know
I did. I think we all at one point you
had to see if they tasted like they smelled, and
they never did.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I you know what, tremor, I've got to be asked.
I've never licked one, but I appreciate you sharing that.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I liked to look dangerously Courtney. I don't know if
you knew. I grew up on the wrong side of
the Cult of San.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Crona well, and you know, maybe they were different in Canada,
you know, so they never did taste like anything.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
You don't lick stamps, don't like scratching snaffs. We could
give you a whole list of things not to put
in your mouth, but we don't have time for that
right now.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
They were just so so good, so good. It's like
my mister, sketch markers. They smell so good.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Don't like them up end up with that that marker
under your nose all day? Oh yeah, why are you
ready for facts?
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I am.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Let's get this one out of the way so you
can send people directly to your broker, your head person
at the office for the complaints today. I know we
always have to we have to find something, So let's
start with this bench. Did know, Courtney? There are at
least three animals that get it on for pleasure and
not just to reproduce. Of course, we have peoples people want.
You want to take a guess. Bunnies so close bottle boats?
(15:55):
You think that so many bunnies bunnies would be the answer?
Bottom bos and then dolphins making the list too. What

Oh that makes sense. I can see monkeys doing that. Yeah, yeah,
monkeys and dolphins. Huh. Dolphins always look like they're happy though,
so yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
They do, don't they? The bonnables are monkeys? Just Google
and we searched them. Bench didn't know. See, now we
got that out of the way.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yeah. Two facts in one.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
This is a fun fact based on the average life
expectancy in the US. If you're eighteen years old, you
only have about three one hundred and sixty weekends left
in your life. If you're forty, you only have about
twenty fifteen left day. But we're positively taking out of
this is make the most of your days.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
That's true. Yeah two thousand wee, wow.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Okay, make the most of your days. Do you ever
watch Scrubs?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
A little bit?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Pretty much? Living by TLC and no Scrubs for me
was kind of my thing. I've seen it a couple
of times. I don't think I've seen an episode from
start to finish, but this is still interesting. There was
an episode of Scrubs in two thousand and two where
Zach Braffitt Sarah Chalk's characters were bungee jumping and they
had stunt doubles to the jump. So there's stunt doubles
met on the set that day and wound up getting married.
(17:22):
Kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
That's so cool.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
That's a Hallmark movie. But then the part that isn't
they've since been divorced.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Oh wow, you yay?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Oh wow?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I have a very random fact.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Titanic. Yeah, the movie Titanic. You know, you need like
a two three vacation days. We're going to get through
that movie from start to finish. The song My Heart
Will Go On almost didn't happen because director James Cameron
didn't like it, and neither did Celine Dionne. Obviously, they
both went ahead with it anyway and later changed their minds. Later,
(18:00):
Selene said quote, I'm glad I sang the song. I'm
so happy that my people didn't listen to everything I say.
One of the people who encouraged her to do it
was her late husband, Renee and jell I So Jello
and jell I A and g l I l her
late husband Renee Renee.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Jell Yello, and I was like, Jello is encouraging her.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Okay, Yes, I love that.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
It's weird that the two main people didn't like it,
but it was like.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Let's do it.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Fine.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, did it and turned out to work okay for
both of them.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I think it was well well done. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Who's your favorite McDonald's character.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Probably Oh my gosh, why am I the Purple guys? Grimit?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I plan this Griffins's brother doesn't get any airtime. That's
a stunt. Double Yeah, Grimace. Bet you didn't know. McDonald's
character Grimace was originally evil. In nineteen seventy one, he
was called Evil Grimace and his goal is to steal milkshakes,
but by nineteen seventy two. They turned them into a
purple monster who was a good guy in not very
(19:06):
bright purple moron embrace, Grimace, Grimace. I mean the Hamburger
is still a bad guy, isn't he he is?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, the Hamburglar, Yep, he's a crazy one. They need
to bring those back. The understand why we don't. Yeah,
McDonald's trying to be too fancy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Now bring back the O G characters. That's what I've gone.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
For you today, you know, bring in. Speaking of bringing
back I've got I do have this Today's show on
in the background, and they're talking about the comeback of
the Hamburger Helper. With the economy, people are really diving back.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Into the Hamburger Helper is delicious, but you have to
double it up. You need to addices. Yeah, they had
some vegetables. It's going to be blind if you do
it by the box, but downle it up with a
few extras. You've got hanging around the fridge, the fridge,
the freezer, throwing some spices.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
And I feel like they blanded it a bit, like
they probably it probably was like not very healthy and
then they like made it. But like I tried, it
probably a few years ago again, you know, and I
was like, oh, this isn't It doesn't pack a punch
like it used to.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So Jesy and Schilada number one the power rankings at
Trevor's house.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Ah no, we're a lasagna and.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I thought we were friends.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Sorry, I can't, Hamburger Helper.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, I'm over right. We can still beat pals. I
don't have a lot of friends, Courtney here, I am.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Well, let me tell you a little bit about that was.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
A ramble tangent.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Huh yeah, Hamburger Helper. Let me tell you about the
housing market though. Okay, everybody everybody keeps talking about the rates, like, oh,
the raid's going to go down. I'm keep an eye
on the rates. And when rates go down, that means
interest in Holmes, interest as in, uh I am interested
in buying a house goes up, and so does the competition.
(21:01):
And if you have kept a foot or a toe
in the market in the Grand Cities, you know it's
always pretty competitive, especially in certain price range. So if
you're like, oh, if the rate drops just slightly, I
think I'm gonna I think I want to go for it.
Now would be a really good time to shop to
(21:22):
look in to visit with a lender about if it
dropped within that time of me shopping, you know, what
does that look like for me? But I would get
I would get myself into the market if I'm even
slightly interested right now before everybody does. Because it's a
popular thing to do. So if you have questions, if
(21:45):
you want to just kind of grab coffee and discuss
what does that look like for me, I'm always happy
to do that. I will always point you in the
direction of a good lender first, so I will help
people reaching out saying hey, I want to house hunt,
I want to do this thing, and I'm like, yes,
let's get you get the finances figured out. Uh, so
we'll do that first. Feel free to give you a
(22:05):
holler seven zero one five eight zero two zero two four.
You can find me on the socials very sure all
kinds of tidbits and tricks at Grand Cities Living. Or
if you're offended that Trevor has to doll up his
hamburger helper, feel free to reach out to my broker
at excialty dot com.
Speaker 1 (22:24):

of the cult the sacs. That's why I do these
things I do in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Yeah, it's you fancy though.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Getting all up in my kitchen, Courtney, you fancy question
does your today? So France they've done this thing where
they're making their their stamps scratch and sniff. Hopefully people
are going to write more letters, I guess. But smelling
like a bag as a very French big the ink
(22:52):
apparently as microcapsules that provide the scant If we did
the same thing in America, what should what would you
like our stamps to smell like?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Maybe like apple pie would be kind of like a
good one. I feel like all stamps smell like bagettes,
so that's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, they don't they take news.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Yeah, I feel like are is probably smelling a bag at?
So yeah, probably apple pie or like I would say
hot dog. That'd be disgusting.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Can make a wider stamp for like do seasonal? Yeah
we can do seasonal, so we can do a whole series, Courtney.
We are posting master generals today.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yeah, we can do whatever we want. But yeah, I
think that's so fake. Like, go smell a stamp today
and be like, yeah, that does smell like a bag
at because it's just what a bag at smell like paper?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And once again, don't like a stamp, well like the
back of the stamp. Don't like the front of the stamp.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Well, they're all sticky.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
You don't like a stamp at all. Keep the stamps
out of your mouth.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yep today, keep it all out your mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Friend, oh Man, good advice. I don't know how we're
going to top this next week, but we'll try next Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Courtney, we will, and you'll be a whole year older.
So happy birthday to you this weekend, prevertary.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Thank you for thinking of me, Courtney. You're such a sweetheart.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Are you going to celebrate? Do anything fun?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Time will tell Courtney, I might party to break at dusk.
We'll see, We'll see, I love. I hope to see
you Courtney, barsteaed Logan exp Realty, Grand Cities Living. I
look forward to visiting again in seven more sleeps.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Likewise, have a good weekend, Thanks Courtney.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Let me put it this way your Wednesday morning Moron
awards more on my Excel ninety three. So same day
delivery services are convenient for food, may last minute toilet paper,
re stocking, inflatable unicorns for spontaneous pull parties. You know
the essentials, but they're not ideal for procuring murder supplies.
(25:00):
Let me explain. Monday morning, a door Dash driver alerted
police after making a very strange delivery to a motel
in Sweetwater, Texas. The complete list of items hasn't been released,
but word has it. The delivery incloded trash bags, zip ties, bleach,
a hatchet, and more. I mean fairly obvious. At least
(25:21):
try to disguise by adding a unicorn pool float. It's
like ordering the things you need to make a body
disappear kit, please say. Forty two year old Neil Cooper
placed an order on door Dash for these kidnapping slash
murder tools. When the cops showed up the motel room,
Neil refused to leave in warrant officers that he was armed.
(25:45):
While the cops forced their way in found a hostage inside.
The hostage was rescued but later arrested on an outstanding warrant.
No word on their identity, but it sounds like the
warrant was drug related. Neil was arrested for aggravated kidnapping
and there may be additional charge is It's unclear what
he planned to do with the victim, but clearly it
looks like it could have been a bad situation. A
(26:05):
lot of people praise the driver for acting after seeing
the red flags. You know, see something, say something. I
think that's a good way to be just in case,
but others weren't sure. One person commented, quote, I'm glad
it worked out for you the best this time, But
do you really want your door dash driver to sounding
your order suspicious and calling the cops? Quote I want
(26:28):
to tell that driver you don't get paid to think
you get paid to deliver things. Sounds like somebody else
might be ordering murder supplies to their house. Nonetheless, just
taking a step back here. Delivery driver in Texas called
the cops after getting a suspicious order, which was supposed
to go to a hotel. Cops later found a suspect
of the hostage inside, and forty two year old Neil Cooper,
(26:51):
who places the door Dash order, will end up with
the Wednesday Morning More on a ward hour eighth trip
to Texas in twenty twenty five, Let's.

(28:26):
say dense outside question of the day today, if America
had a scratching sniff stamp. What should it smell like?
Franks has imagined off the stamp smell like a state
fair bottle cakes, fried dough and livestock. Yep, that's America
in a nutshell, a little bit sweet, a little bit greasy,
and just a hint of cow. Each letter you send

fars every year eating things that should definitely not be

(29:31):
back in time. I always say, it's got to be
so tough living in the single world today. But what
about two thousand years ago. You're on some old school
dating advice. It doesn't get much older than this. Someone
look back at dating advice from a poet in ancient
Rome named Ovid obid Ovid, and some of it still
(29:52):
rings true today. Here are three dating tips from two
thousand years ago that still apply. Number one, you have
to make an effort. Oh had told men they shouldn't
expect their soulmate just to magically appear. You have to
put yourself out there quote. She will not come floating
down to you through the tenuous air. She must be sucked,
(30:13):
so put in the effort. Number two, you probably won't
find them at a bar. He also said you won't
choose the right person if you're drunk. Makes sense. And
number three, don't look like a slob quote. Do not
let your nails project, and let them be free of dirts,
nor let any hair be in the hollow of your nostrils,
(30:34):
and let not the breadth of your mouth be sour
and unpleasing. In other words, brush your teeth, cut your nails,
and pluck those darn nosehairs three. Dating tips from a
poet and ancient rom that still apply today. You've got
to make the effort because they won't just show up
at your door. You probably won't find the right person
while you're drunk. I used then won't show up at
your door legally. Yeah, probably won't find the right person
(30:55):
when you're drunk and don't look like a slob. He
literally told men to pluck their nose hair do years ago.
Dating tips that still apply today. Excel Nuty three, coming
right up National punctuation Day, and apparently we're anti semi colon.
Let's get into that together next, AXL Nutty three. Hello, Well, hey,

strappy outside, like an.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Apple tree or something like that.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
There could be a hole. A series of different fruits.
You can make a lot of money off this as
postmaster general.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yes, that'd be that'd be pretty.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Let's root it up, Hey, Jasmine, what do you know
about food mascots? Not a whole ton this, But keep
in mind it's Trevor's show, so nothing's really really difficult.
Are we going to play for Colswandelt tickets for Saturday

Hamburger Helper, it's food mascot trivia. Do you know what
the white glove of the face who helps you stir
up one pan dinners from Hamburger Helpers called? Do you
know what his name is? This is just jerror. This
(32:42):
is the intro to the games. This doesn't even count. No,
I did not, Lefty, Lefty, I didn't know that either.
Let's get we'll get it. I think this This next
one's easier. Eleprecaun who guards the marshmallows inside every magically
delicious box of lucky charms. What is his name again,
(33:03):
don't overthink it. Who's guarding the magically delicious box of
Lucky Charms upper friend. What's this guy's name, Lucky Charms,
Lucky Charm? Lucky? Is his name? Lucky? Should I give

Let's do. Here's a tough one. The red pigtailed girl
smiling on the sign of Wendy's Candy. It's Wendy. It
is Wendy. Correct. A giant red picture. A drink pitcher
(33:47):
who crashes through the walls, yelling, oh yeah for kool Aid.
Who was that guy?

but four passes to go. When you like, you can
tell me what station is proud to be a Nelson's
Pumpkin Patch connection. Excellent. Time for one more thing on
(35:24):
Excel ninety three one more terms, one more one. Well,
if you've been racking your brain trying to figure out
why today is so special, it's because it's National Punctuation Day.
Recent pull. Most Americans say they very often use periods
it's seventy two percent and capital letters sixty four percent
(35:46):
in their writing. Less than ten percent of people say
they rarely use periods or capitals. Here's the rest of
the breakdown. Commas fifty five percent very often use them,
ten percent rarely contractions, forty nine percent very often, sixteen
percent rarely do question marks, thirty nine percent very often
use them, twenty one percent rarely do quotation marks, twenty
(36:07):
one percent twenty seven excuse me, very often use them,
thirty two percent rarely do National Punctuation Day stants exclamation points,
twenty five percent of us very often use them, thirty
seven percent rarely breentheses nineteen percent very often, thirty nine
percent rarely hyphen sixteen percent very often, forty eight percent
rarely dashes, fifteen percent very often, fifteen fifty percent rarely.
(36:31):
But you didn't know thereice this many different punctuations. Then
there's the colons and semi colons. Thirteen percent very often
use the colons, fifty four percent rarely, and as far
as the semis go eleven percent very often, fifty seven
percent rarely do not. Surprisingly, self described good writers are
more likely to use the rarer forms of punctuation. But
how many of us are good writers? Seventy one percent
(36:52):
of Americans claim to be good writers, including twenty four
percent who say they're very good. Eighteen percent say they're
not very good. Five percent not good at all. I'd
like to say I'm very good, but i'd like to
say'm very good at a lot of stuff. And the
number one type of writing Americans do, are you shocked?
It's text messaging, email second, followed by work documents, and
(37:13):
I would say there's a sharp drop off after that.
Journal entries, nonfiction, essays, poetry or songs, and fiction including
short stories and novels. But hey, happy National Punctuation Day.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
Exclamation by stay sal in here, question marks, ask lots.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Happened in here? Come a stake a pos erious this
time without buns away. Say you said it's clocks cordline,
it's a jungles and pope, it's a line here at
Mars when you use your dots and squiggles or else,
(37:55):
we're lost in your tag. Don't be frightened. Let's see
where to start. Get good at the water cooler. As
soon as I woke up this morning, I pepper sprayed myself. Amateurs.
