the Eagles day. I don't knowif that means we need to preserve the
national bird or men. Their footballteam looks horrible. Fellow Eagles fans going

I think peculiar people day, goodday to let your freak flag fly,

hustplant appreciation day, good day towater your plants, but doing nor
over water your plants? Why isit so hard to keep a host a
post plant alive? National Take theStairs Day, Find new ways to sneak

Chants of evening snow showers otherwise mostlycloudy four above, Tonight and Thursday
chants of snow mostly cloudy in twelve, Friday's slight, chants of snow afternoon
mostly cloudy four above, and forSaturday, chants of snow in the morning,
mostly cloudy one below, blustery,so nothing significant, just the cold
the bigger issue here. I fullyexpect some windshill advisories to be issued over

(01:52):
the next bunch of days through theweekend. Saturday, north winds will go
to thirty miles per hour. Soour street came to arashing halts yesterday.
I think it was like two hundredand eighty something days since it had been
below zero, and yesterday it wasI think the Weather Service registered one below.
So streakover and it's going to becrushed this weekend. Anyway. Right

(02:14):
now, we have a bullmy fourteencloudy skies downtown Grand Forks. We'll talk
about the winning today, but firstyou here's what you missed. Highlight of
the last twenty four hours. Howabout you read TV, the entertainment world
and whatever. Here's what you missedon Excel ninety three going to the Great

(02:37):
White North. The Canadian woman hasofficially broken the Guinness World Record for the
loudest nose whistle in the world.Yeah, there's a record for that when
she blew a forty four point onedespel whistle with her nose. Now,
to put that in perspective, fortyfour point one decibels is about the same

(02:58):
loudness of a bird call. Hereis Lulu Lotus showing off for nose whistling
skills. An all word on arelationship status, guys, But a woman's

(03:27):
nose whistle breaking the world record fortyfour point one decibels. Congratulations, lu
Lu Lotus. That's your here's whatyou missed highlight for the last twenty four
hours. I am tribberty. Let'sget into your question to short today.
So listen the news. I thinkit was last night, maybe the night
before. That's those Stanley cupps.I know they've been a big deal.

(03:47):
Starbucks Stanley Cuffs Targets has put themon the shelves and the target customers are
stampeding for these Stanley cupps. Whyare they that much better than they the
regular I mean, I've got anice little metal water thermost cup here that

(04:08):
will keep my water cold all dayat work. I don't know why the
Stanley cups are better, but regardless, but not three hundred dollars better forty
ounce. I googled this this morning. The Stanley quencher costs forty dollars on
their websites, but the special Starbucksones went for forty nine ninety five,
and some people were able to nabthe cupper, now reselling them on eBay,

(04:30):
one listed at three hundred dollars.I hope there's no one out there
who's going to pay three hundred dollarsfor that. Maybe you've got an answer
to that question. Share something youdon't understand, or also share something that
you think is completely overhyped. Youdon't understand it's overhyped. Same thing here
seven O one seven four six ninetythree ninety three. I have threads growing

(04:55):
on the trivity in XL ninty threeFacebook pages. Today tomorrow, last couple
happy New you days of winning.Then Friday morning, we're going to give
away the two hundred and fifty dollarsto Sublime, and I also have four
banks of tickets to Joe Nichols comingto Shooting Star. That's Friday the twelfth
for Meetian Charlie Barns at the ChesterFretz. Still be there tomorrow night.
Should be a fun show. Canget you to Mean Girls the musical,

(05:17):
full pack of tickets the Rainbow Fishof the Chester Fritz. That's coming up
to Saturday. Two's what you wantto do here? Coming right up,
Wanona says Taylor Swift with the NFL, Sorry but not sorry. I like
her music, but I like myfootball without all the extra about her.
It's football. I mean, itwas a novelty at first. I'm a

(05:40):
much bigger Taylor fan than a PatrickMahomes fan, for example. Trying to
tie in a new audience. Itdid wonders for the ratings. But I
do agree with what you're saying,Monona, Taylor doesn't have to be everywhere.
I mean in every conversation that is, she could be everywhere. Love
me, love me, my TaylorSwift. But I just don't want to

(06:03):
get any trouble with any Swifties heretoday. So I'll just stop talking about
Taylor Swift. But good answer withOna. You phrased it perfectly like her
music. But I like my footballwithout all the extra Abom Excel Nuty three
the forks hit music station. Idon't understand while those Stanley cups are selling

(06:23):
for over three hundred dollars in eBayright now, the Starbucks target ones share
something you don't understand, something youbelieve is over hyped. You can do
some choose your adventure winning coming rightout. See it's rolling in on the
Trivity page this morning. Brennan,good one here, ug Boots. Not
sure why everyone wants to wear overpricedslipper boots that are going to get wet,

(06:46):
get dirty, even with treatments onthem. Don't even get me started
on the new designs. I guessI don't know much about the new designs,
but I've seen the ug boots besideknockoff brands, and they look pretty
similar to me. I'm trying tothink of the Northern clothing everybody wears,

(07:13):
Well, why can't the why isthe brand name popping into my head right
now? North Face? Plenty ofother non name brand equally warm clothes out
there, I'm sure. I meanit's it looks good, you guys look
great in the north face, butshe's also pricey. I think that would
go in the ugg boots discussion.Josh Jones, I agree with electric vehicles.

(07:39):
Don't think they're made ideally for ourcold climates right now. Like to
be able to drive to Minneapolis andnot take me three days stopping a charging
stations and such. And yes,they are very pricey, and from what
I've read and seen, they're reallynot any better for the environments. Oh
Sam, good answer. Concert ticketson Ticketmaster. I don't understand. We've

(08:01):
had this figured out since the TaylorSwift tobacco about a year ago, and
or tickets went on Salem. We'rescooped up by bots and people were selling
them for thousands of dollars online.Pre sales should be I mean, you
guys are gonna have to line upand put some effort into this, the
real fans. You get three daysto line up at your favorite Ticketmaster out
at the back like we used tocamp offer tickets, and then on the

(08:24):
gennal on sale day they can getgobbled up by the computers that do it
today anyway, So that's how wesolve that. But Ticketmaster would have to
hire some people to man's booths.But I still think they would make some
money off of that. Stephanie,you guys are coming up with good answers
any coffee that isn't made at home. They have some ridiculous names too.

(08:46):
I agree, Stephanie, not beinga coffee guy. If we're out somewhere
in Starbucks is maybe attached to thehotel, and I grab a coffee for
my wife, and every name isabout five six eight twelve words long,
and the sizes don't say small,medium, large, just to begin with,
to throw me off, sus ohman, I just I don't understand

(09:07):
the copy world either, Stephanie.Good answer sucks. I want to know
why these Stanley cuffs are selling forfor three hundred bucks. I mean,
there's always a product that's the popularproduct. Whatever it may be that people
are honking for a ton of moneyon the eBay money. I've been trending

(09:28):
on Excel Nutty three things everyone shouldkeep in the glove compartment according to a
mechanic, not according to Trevor thatnext Excel Nuddy three, good morning,
Hey, good day. What amI visiting with Jessica. Riddle me this
today. You've seen those Stanley cuffs. I don't know if you own one
of those. I think the restof them that aren't Stanley cuffs are just

(09:52):
called metal thermos mugs, but theydo the trick of keeping your beverage cold
or warm for really most of theday. I don't know why the Stanley
cups they must if you have poura hot drink in They're keep your coffee
hot to the fourth of July.I don't know, But I don't get
why they're three hundred dollars on eBay. I want you to share something you
don't understand, something you thinks overhyped. Oh goodness, that's my question of

(10:18):
the day today. Lululemon clothes.Also don't understand that. It was last
year walking through West Acres and theLulu Lemon store was jam packed to the
point I think they were making peopleline up outside so they didn't have too
many people in the store at thesame time. Yeah, it's expensive.

(10:41):
I wouldn't go in there. Iguess, first of all, I can't
afford it, and I don't thinkthey sell Lululemon stuff for men. Trevor's
age. I'll just say that thedevelopment's clothes. I don't need to know
that. I think they'd look atme and give me the Julia Robert's hooker
look, and I'm tired of thatlook. Hey, Jessica, what can

(11:09):
I get for you? Here?Four tickets I can get you A couple
of tickets to comedy Charlie Barns atthe chester Fritz tomorrow. Four tickets to
Joe Nichols at Shooting Star on aFriday. Four pack of passes the rainbow
Fish, tickets to the rainbow Fishof the Chester Fritz Saturday afternoons. Can
send you to Mean Girls of RiverCinema or fifty dollars to Simply Made,
or twenty five dollars to Billy Soapfor Happy New You and we'll get you

(11:31):
on the shortlist for two fifty fromSublime going out Friday. Billy Soaps.
Can't go wrong with Billy Soap.She's an amazing woman and makes some even
more amazing products. Go see Billytwenty eighth Avenue South across from Right Out
Collision. Let's hook you up?Thank you? What's up this morning?
Not too much? Is getting readyfor work? Well? Happy Wednesday,

(11:54):
what station is be listening by theway eight thirty five on Friday for the
two hundred and fifty from Sublime AestheticProfessionals Going out and Very New Year,
Same to you, Thank you?What station is more winters guaranteed? Am
not trending testag trending on Excel ninetythree trending today and the Winter Survival kid

(12:22):
is the obvious answer. It couldbe a whole different discussion what should be
in your Winter's survival kids? Butbe honest, your glove compartments so are
often used to store things like sunglasses, paperwork, pretty much anything else that's
not gloves. I don't think I'veever seen a glove and glove compartment.
Well, the mechanic has weighed inwith suggestions of what useful atoms you should

(12:43):
keep in your glove compartments. Penand paper on the list. I mean,
it's always good to have a pen. Toughest time of year for your
pen not to freeze ump, whetherit be in your glob compartment or your
little middle council deal. A manyfirst aid kits should be in your car

(13:03):
at all time. See if there'sa checklist for you, And I don't
think I have one of those.There's a pen in my car, you
know that entire pressure gauge, orat the time of year where it gets
really cold and you get the lowentire pressure warnings on your car, you
pull up to a gas station,just let it roll for about five seconds

(13:24):
and hope you fild it up right. I think that's the way most people
do. It can't just be meproof of insurance and registration. That should
be in your glove compartment, yourvehicle's manual, because if you take that
out of your car, it's gone. You're never going to find that again,
and you're not going to have anissue with your car while you're in

(13:46):
your living room. And number onething a mechanic says you should have in
your car and your glove compartment isa flash lights I'm trying to think of
I've kind of flashlight. Oh it'snot in the glove compartments. But it's
a good checklist, I think accelNutty three dot com trivity page. A
couple of other things. A multitool on the list. It's more than

(14:09):
a Swiss army knife. It includesplers, a screwdriver, and a small
knife and spare fuses. Would neverthink of that good have backups in case
one blows while on the road.You can reference your vehicle's manual if you
don't know how to replace it.And what are you keeping your glove compartment?
Could be a discussion for a differentday. Trending everything I shared with
you helpful, I think today Axcelnuty three dot com, the Trivity page.

(14:31):
Now time for a bet you didn'tknow about it? Nighty three.
You're unbelievable unbelievably random facts for yourWednesday, January tenth. Let's begin with
Ronald Reagan's last movie before he gotinto politics, The Killers in nineteen sixty
four, and it was the onlytime he ever played a band guy.

(14:54):
Many other presidents have started movies.Oh, Donald Trump, isn't home alone
too for you? About that?I'll think about that later. Beach didn't
know. The person in charge ofthe Library of Congress is officially called the
Librarian of Congress to get appointed bythe President and approved by the Senates,

(15:15):
and they now make around two hundredand twenty two thousand dollars a year.
The Librarian of Congress Shush's people andthe Library of Congress for two hundred twenty
grand a year. Carly Hayden's beenthe Librarian of Congress in twenty sixteen.
Sounds like a good gig. Beachdidn't know. So. Concawella either died

(15:37):
in eighteen twelve, when she wasin her mid twenties or in eighteen eighty
four, when she was in hernineties. Historians approved both ways and can't
disprove either one. That's a randomfact. Beach didn't know a town called
alerts in none of it to Canada, Nunavate Canada, the northernmost place in

(16:03):
the world where people live, andit's still five hundred miles from the North
Pole. See we're not counting Santain the al from the rain here,
but five hundred miles from the NorthPole Alert to Nunavate, Canada. And
finally, Bench did know. DuringWorld War Two, the US tried to
trade bats to drop bombs. Itwas called Project ks Ray Our bats would

(16:23):
be dropping bombs. Wasn't crazy enoughto work. I guess they didn't pay
them enough. They got them lazy. They were on their phones all day
something. But now you know,let me put it this way, your
Wednesday Morning Moron Award. Yes,more on my nexcel ninety three ron.
Do you mind box drop grand Forts. Don't be a moron and pay full

(16:47):
price for a mattress. Save upto seventy percent off retail prices with box
drop grand Ports. Find them onthe Facebook today. Probably aren't going to
be able to spend monopoly money withoutit anyone catching on to you, but
you might be able to get awaywith using big movie money for a few
months at least. A forty oneyear old guy New Jersey named James Leonard

(17:11):
has finally been canned after passing fakebills at a convenience store since last September.
I think that'd be just ridiculously nervewracking every time you're doing it.
Forty one year old. Apparently he'dintentionally go during busy times, so the
cashiers didn't have a lot of timesto scrutinize the bills. Naturally, the
bank wasn't fooled, but it tooka long time to actually pin it on

(17:33):
James and then catch James in theact. The bills were specifically designed for
movie sets, and they do looka lot like actual currency, but they
say for motion picture only and fairlylarge letters across the front end and smaller
letters along the side. James passedmultiple fifty and one hundred dollars bills before

(17:55):
being caught. He's been charged withtheft by deception and uttering a forged document
for one year old James Leonard,New Jersey conducter passing big bills at a
convenience stores at convenience stores in thearea since September. Once again, the
bills look real, but say formotion picture use only in fairly large letters

(18:18):
across the front. I think we'veall seen a picture, but we will
send this. James first trip toNew Jersey the Wednesday morning, more on
a war. Why do you want? There's enough stress in your life,
Get a job, make some realmoney, and de stress. When you're
you're buying your pop at your favoriteconvenience store, capeche. You put winter

(18:40):
in perspective, like day after Halloween. November is slate fall. Sometimes it's
winter in my mind. Winter startson Black Friday and goes to the Leprecaun
Loop weekend the middle of March forSaint Patrick's Stane. We're about halfway there,
so so far, so good,not bad. About thirty eight inches

(19:00):
of snow by this time last yearto melt off, so I think our
snow depth right now is two wellsnow and ice depth is two inches,
So yeah, it could be worse. It has been worse. Question of
the day today, Keep their responsescoming. Why are Stanley Cup selling for
over three hundred dollars? Share somethingyou don't understand, you think is overhyped,

three hundred dollars? If you cananswer that, I'd love to hear from
you, But also share something youdon't understand, something you believe is over
hyped. Answers coming in s Dinoraseng Starbucks don Getty Hydro, same damn

(20:11):
thing and does the same thing.There are many knockoffs of the Stanley Cup.
Stephanie posting y'all not drinking enough water. If you need a fifty dollars
cup to keep it cold till Tuesday, pray John girlfriend. There's three snaps
in a Z formation right there,winning on away eight thirty five, about

(20:32):
half an hour, Give me thirtyminutes. I've got more stuff to do
here, more things to share withyou. Guys. Well, think back
to twenty twenty three. If youhad to put an over under on the
number of times that you get aperfect night's sleep, what would just say?
Maybe once every two weeks. Checkmy sleep score in my fitbit,

(20:56):
and some days I think better Islept better than the score gave me.
According to a new research, thougha new research, the average American gets
a perfect night's sleep one hundred andthirty two times a year. See I
would say once every two weeks.Maybe we get a good night's sleep one
hundred and twenty nights a year,So that leaves one hundred and thirteen nights

(21:18):
which are either bad sleep nights orwhere you didn't get any sleep at all.
I guess it's uncleair how many peoplein the study of kids under two,
because that would affect things too.But that breaks down like this,
they're going to sleep, there's athirty six percent chance you're going to get
a perfect sleep, thirty three percentyou'll get a good sleep in, and

(21:42):
thirty one percent are bad sleeps.But those bad sleeps can be disrupt of
sixty five percent of people say thata bad night's sleep is enough to ruin
the whole next day. Stress andanxiety about health and upcoming tasks are the
main reason that people think they're strugglingto sleep. People also try things like

(22:03):
reading or milk CB d well Itone in to get some c's, but
only twenty eight percent of people saythey have a solution that's very effective blackout
drunk's nut on the list. Ithink my mom says brandy, but that's
her answer for any any ailment.My mom would have been a great doctor.

(22:25):
Sornie takes some brandy. Broken arm, Brandy, you'll fix that.
But at the same time, mymom is one of very few people I
know who has not had the GOVID. So keep it up with a brandy
mom, Love you my dad too, for that matter. But the average
American gets a perfect night's sleep onehundred thirty times a year, one hundred

(22:47):
thirty two times a year. Sooh, one in three is a perfect,
one in three is good, andone and three just a bad night's
sleep. Thanks eilmenty three the forksin music station gonna save me some time
anyway. Let's look at this asa positive. Any way, you can
save some time. You may notneed to change your underwear every day.
Let's try to make sense of that. Next stank sell ninety three? All

(23:08):
right to call it? What amI visiting with? Oh? For James?
James? Why are Stanley cup sellingfor over three hundred bucks? Kay?
Can you riddle me that? Andcan you share something you don't understand?
Something you thinks over hyped? Famileycup selling just a big deer mug
goo on it? Now? Whyare they selling for three hundred bucks?

(23:29):
An eBay? Though? How aboutjust answer? Share something you don't understand?
That something is something you thinks overhyped? WHOA, I have kids,
I don't really understand. It's basepen map stuff. So the one
base pen map holy at the mathand when we grew up don't get it.

(23:51):
I guess I have had no ideato even try to get it with
no kids. My dog's not tryingto learn that anytime soon. I thought
you were going to say, kidsin general, overright, throw them in
the dumpster, no return policy onthem. Hey James, what do you
want to do here? Fifty bucksis simply made gets qualified for two fifty
from Sublime four tickets to Joe NicholsFriday, Charlie Barons at the Chester Fritz

James, it's not for one morething on Excel ninety trade, one

(25:04):
more time, one more all right, So I think we know each other
well enough where we can talk aboutour respective draws. Right. It seems
like there's an entire wing of sciencedevoted it's reminding people to not be disgusting.

(25:25):
Wash your hands, change your sheets, shower regularly. This is kind
of strange. Several quote unquote topdermatologists are now saying that men don't need
to change their underwear every day.Men. One doctor says, in situations
with minimal activity and no sweating,changing every other day maybe acceptable. Men's

(25:49):
loser fitting up. Looser fitting underwearstyles like boxers may also allow excuse me,
you may also allow for slightly longerwear. Unfortunately, you ladies don't
get the same pass here. Ladiesunderwear typically more tight fitting, and because

(26:11):
of the way their anatomies set up, they're more vulnerable to infections if they
don't refresh their underwear. That said, dermatologists still suggest you change your underwear
at least once a day anyway tominimize the risk of infections, and maybe
even more than once. A day, if it's hot, if you're active,
or if you're sweating a lot.I mean, you know what you
do it you go to the gym. You should have a second set of

(26:34):
drawers. With several top dermatologists nowsaying men don't need to change the underwear
every day, but only if they'renot sweating or wearing blue fitting boxers.
Ladies, ladies who still need tochange yours, Just change your underwear.
Let's just pretend I didn't have thatlast two minutes of conversation with you.

(26:55):
Guys. Change your underwear once aday, Guys, at least once in
now, just be safe. Thedraws of the day. Ten minutes.
Let's get you, get you athousand dollars. Spend it all on underwear
payer bills slash, spend it allon underwear money. Here's the deal.
Next nine hours, top of thehour, We've got a new keyword with

(27:18):
one thousand dollars for you to enteran excel monety three dot com payer bills.
Don't care what you do with yournew found fun money. Talked about
this yesterday on the show. OscarMeyer announced it's taking applications for the next
class of Hontdoggers a year long opportunityto drive across the country in the iconic
twenty seven foot long Wienermobile as thebrand spokesperson the Lucky Wieners. We'll get

(27:45):
paid thirty five thousand, six hundreddollars. And now with more bad puns,
here are our own bad jingles.Singers. Well, I wish I
drove the Oscar Meyer. That iswhat I really want to do. If

(28:06):
I could just mustard up the courage. You catch up with me and see
me on the news. I sitmy buns inside the giant Wiener and lots
of weeny whistles to to be Frank. I really just want to meet a
worm, to get inside the Wiedermobileand take a cruise. Hey, you've
