something amazing. You can show that story too, But I'd

(10:04):
moa hahaha after that. And good stuff all your neighbor's
lun especially if you know you're not the closest but

acts of Kindness Day Trevity Facebook page. Cashier says, last

(10:27):

goes for the last two times I bought things from
other moms on Facebook for my newborn. One mom randomly
put in newborn diapers. Another mom put in a brand
new pack of passivefiers. It was a nice little bonus
surprise besides the things I was already buying. Random acts
of Kindness day should be simple. I know you guys
(10:50):
do kind things all the time, and I want to
hear about the last random kind things somebody did for you.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And I'm not trending testag trending three.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
So if you have any pennies, maybe buried in your couch,
under the mess inside your car, perhaps a bucket in
your garage, one more thing to hold on to golector's
item that might be worth something someday, like maybe a cent.
I don't know, I don't know. Back in February, President
Trump directed the Treasury Department to stop producing new pennies.
(11:26):
And that's what happened yesterday. The last ever US penny
was minted in Philadelphia. Holy History's go back in time
here do. The US mint in Philadelphia has been making
pennies since seventeen ninety three, when they were made of
one hundred percent copper. Since nineteen eighty two, penny's been
(11:49):
made of copper plated zinc, which is ninety seven point
five percent sank and just two point five percent copper.
Trump said we shouldn't make any more because pennies cost
more than a penny to produce, and that is a fact.
According to the US meant, each penny actually cost three
point seven cents to make. Billions of pennies, of course,
(12:10):
still in circulation and will remain legal tender, but new
ones will no longer be made. Some businesses already feeling
the shortage have started rounding receipts to the nearest five cents.
It's what they do in Canada. I think the penny's
been declared dead for close to ten years now out there,
so they rounded up or down. It's not always going
to be rounded up. Some stores are requiring exact, exact
(12:34):
change even if prices aren't rounded up, though there are
potential dropbacks, which is why we haven't done it before.
For one, it's another step pushing us towards a cash
list society, which everybody isn't cool with, especially those who
don't deal with credit cards and banks. For whatever reason,
everyone's got their reasons. Also, experts say this would cause
us to need more nickels, which we're also losing money on.
(12:55):
According to them, ment to each nickel cost thirteen point
eight cents to make. Just get rid of all change
rounded up to the nearest back. How are we going
to not get ripped off that way? And I'm sure
a lot of you guys are like me too. You
get changed for something you're pay in cash because if
you use your credit card there's a three percent of charge,
and then you've got the cash in your pocket, your purse,
your fanny pack and ever really here still in your slacks,
(13:18):
ends up in the washing machine and oh yeah, you
hear it and hear about it if you're not the
one in charge of doing the laundry. But oh, my soapbox,
I've got a video from the Pennies retirement kind of
cool Excel nuty three dot com the Trivity page and
of an air of the last ever US penny minted
yesterday hashtag trending.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Bet you didn't know, random facts coming at you now,
that's up, Excel ninety three.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Rock you by the Blue Moose Bar and grill enjoy
savory steak dinners every Thursday night starting at five Blue
Moosey Grand Forks. Betch didn't know good, Betch didn't know today?
Solid facts today fans. Betch did know football fans and
math letes number crunchers. There have been one thy ninety
(14:06):
four different final score combinations in NFL history. The most
recent edition was just this past Sunday, when the Houston
Texans came back from behind to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars
thirty six to twenty nine. There had never been a
thirty six to twenty nine final score before. Most comment
if you want to flip this twenty to seventeen. It's
(14:28):
happened two hundred and ninety eight times in NFL history,
most recently back September fourteen. Betch didn't know one of
the creators on Baywatch was legally blind. Even though ninety
percent of his vision was gone, he wound up directing
forty episodes yep. Fun Feeling like an underachiever again today,
(14:51):
I still devil with eBay. I don't think people do
as much since Amazon became a big deal. But one
of the first, very the very first time I've ever
sold an eBay back in nineteen ninety five, was a
broken laser pointer for fourteen dollars and eighty three cents.
When the founder of eBay asked why the guy bought
it he said, quote, I'm a collector of broken laser pointers.
(15:17):
I think there's a lot of stuff in the say
shed garage, basement of your house. You could live with
that guy who collects broken laser pointers. Have you gotten
into the Christmas movies yet? This holiday season? One of
the classics of all time in the movie A Christmas
Story Betch Did was based on some short stories that
were originally published in Playboy, the Amazing Articles. And if
(15:43):
you've ever been stopped, I know you've been stopped, probably
this week, maybe the last twenty four hours, you've been
stopped by a train, thinking when willest thing ever end?
It could be worse, Betch didn't know. The longest train
ever four point six miles long and consisted of six
hundred and eighty two cars pushed by eight powerful diesel
electric locomotives. It was assembled in the Australia and traveled
(16:05):
one hundred and seventy one miles in two thousand and one.
The train had an amazing five six hundred and forty
eight wheels. So yeah, you're stopped when that train is
just sitting there on forty second parallel to Demurs. Later today,
it's not a four point six mile long train. Does
it make it any better? Any better at all?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Now?

was so pure and innocent it made my week. I'm
out here given high fives now, spreading the cheer, one
palm at a time. It's really easy with the sun
angle now, which if you're staring south into the sun,

(23:20):
pronounce seth, you don't know anyone with a lisp. That's true.
Xavier with an X. Why don't you spell it with
a Z? Why is there an x x? Xavier might

It has been a while. It has been a while
since Apple's had a big hit, like the iPod, the iPhone, iPad,
even the Apple Watch on the air take. I guess
if you count that, well, this might be it. This
might be it. Apple announcing a new accessory called the
iPhone Pocket Part sock part fashion accessory, part utilitarian, part
(28:33):
ridiculous iPhone sized knitted pouch or pocket. I guess you
can sling around your shoulder, hang on your arm, or
wrap around your waist. So I heard that. I figured
it might be worth ten bucks, fifteen bucks, but throw
the Apple logo on it. I'm sure they double that
to nineteen ninety five, maybe twenty nine ninety five. The idea,
(28:54):
of course, is you can slip your iPhone inside and
carry it around safely without needing to have pants, pockets,
a purse, a backpack, fanny pack on, none of it.

Now the short ones will be available in these colors.
There's lemon, mandarin, purple, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon and black,

I don't know, take out a loan so you can
afford one of these for what it's worth. They are
suggesting this might be a limited time thing, just to
make you get one, use it one time, and throw
(29:58):
it in your closet. People are already calling these things
iPhone socks or iPhone condoms, which kind of reminds me
even this isn't a new idea. Twenty years ago Steve
Jobs talked about Apple iPod socks. Those are just twenty
nine dollars back then, let's get you a thousand dollars.

a sock. Two hundred and thirty dollars, And I did
stumble upon the brand new ad for it, introducing the
