to being on a generous Jerry's tomorrow afternoon, just to
just seal the new names of the fireworks this year. Today,
Happy world, you up both day? Do you believe in aliens?

(01:08):
According to a poll by News Nation Slash Decision Desk HQ,
forty four percent of Americans believe the government hides information
about the UFOs. I don't believe that. I believe that
the government hides information about everything more than just the UFOs.
I know I've seen, I've seen an Independence Day. I've
seeningmen in black. It's I Forgot day day to make

(01:30):
demands for all the things you've forgotten. Perhaps you've forgotten
something really important subirthday anniversary, maybe to pick someone up
at the airport, hopefully not your wedding day. But it's
not Forgot Day today. I didn't forget to share the
forecast with you. After ninety two degrees yesterday, today sunshine
and ninety areas of smoke, partly cloudy sixty three. Will
notice more humidity today than yesterday, than more on Thursday,

(01:54):
and even more friddy before the cold front comes through. Unfortunately,
the timing doesn't look very good for US Thursday Independence Day.
By day, I think we're going to hold off showers
and thunderstorms, likely late in the day. They'll partly sunny
ninety three and then Saturday, less humidity, cooler temperatures, chance
of a lingering morning shower, but otherwise mostly sunny eighty

(02:15):
four sixty six. To start your morning, downtown Grand Forks.
About ten minutes. We've got you qualified for the next
Medora trip, and I can get you into the North
Dakota State Fair. Let's let's do these two shows today.
I bet you with Bow Wow Soldier Boy and Rick
Ross or Luke Bryan. Those don't work for it. I've
got some other prizes for you too. We're going to

(02:37):
talk about your needs, you must haves for your successful
upcoming Fourth of July weekends as we get back into
our question of the day coming up first, how are
you read TV, the entertainment world and whatever?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Here's what you missed on Excel ninety three.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
The Voote came up, came out with an insane list
of some of the most ridiculous firework names out there
in honor of the Fourth of July. They share there's
Unicorn Puke that's a real one, big American and I'm like,
that's outrageous. There's always patriotic ones on the shelves, Laser Kiddies,
k I T. T y Z, the Redneck Finale call

(03:20):
it what it is right, and a local fireworks expert
listing off some more of our ridiculous fireworks that you
can find on store shelves everywhere.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
So you're gonna tell me that you don't have no
black cats, no roman candles or screaming mimis. You don't
got no lady fingers, buzz butterles, sneaker bombs, church burners,
finger blasters, gut busters as if you do does or
craft flappers, you're gonna stand there and tell me you
don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits,
honkey riders, hooskerdoos, hoosker don'ts, chairry bombs, nips and dazers

(03:52):
with it, without the scooter stick.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Or one single whistling kiddy chaser, it blows my mind.
They don't sell the Hoosker don'ts with the Hoosker dues,
and who doesn't enjoy a good old fashioned You heard
are fireworks expert Joe Durtey talking about the fireworks this year,
the whistlin bungholes this time of year, There the breathtaking,

(04:16):
see a generous Jerry's Tomorrow afternoon, get you stucked up together,
throwing it both the July Party. Perhaps a new poll
found it won't be a perfect one unless you have it.
There are four things. Four things. Two thousand people asked
the name the top must have things at a Fourth
of July party. So I wanted to throw this at
you guys here today. Give you a couple of these
right now. Outdoor games of must. Some people are really

(04:38):
into the games and can do it for hours. For me,
it's a guess. I'll sit up and stand up and
once you get playing the games, it's fun, but it's
the motivation to get you there. Cornhole always a safe bet.
A recent ranking of best backyard games put Cornhole at
the top, followed by Banci great music. Of course, you
need something on the background. Make sure you've got a

(04:59):
playlist ready to go or shameless plug this weekend. Right here,
we are going to be rolling all weekend long your
favorite summertime throllbacks, beginning tomorrow morning and right through Sunday
evening on xcelnty three, brought to you by Hugo's Wine
and Spirits, our fourth of July Summertime trollback long weekend.
So get those requests to us to make sure it's

(05:20):
a great playlist for you too. Let me know what
you're doing too. I'm going to bribe you tomorrow. I've
got something fun to do to get you guys to
a quest your favorite summertime trollbacks. Don't go to Country Fest.
If you want to go to the following weekend, I
can get you there at b IP but we'll talk
about that tomorrow. My question of the day today dreads
and the Trivity and Xlmity three facebook pages. What are
the top must have things slash activities for your Fourth

(05:44):
of July weekend? Zach going to beer, lots of it,
the American flags and something that goes boom. Be safe,
don't drink and drive. We've got a drinking and driving
PSA for you with the Moron Award. As we go
to California about seven fifty this morning, Mike going with
smoked ribs and baked beans and of course lots of fireworks. Lol.

(06:08):
It is fished the fireworks season. I heard them fired off.
It's in the middle of the night, but almost first
thing in my morning this morning. But I'm okay with it.
It wasn't ridiculous. Tis the season next? Down? Ninety three
to two sleeves in front of the fourth of July
Independence weekend. Some people have the whole week off, throwing

(06:29):
a Fourth of July party. A new poll found it
won't be perfect unless it has these four things I
talked about, the outdoor games, great music, obvious. Once again,
we've got a fourth of July summertime throwback long weekend
for you guys to enjoy all your favorite summertime throwbacks
in the past couple few weekends. Beauty of the iHeartRadio app.
It's crystal clear wherever you go, buire works of course

(06:53):
on the list. It's not possible in some areas and
don't break any laws, but it's next on the list.
We have a fabulous city show where trying desperately to
negotiate with the National Weather Service Office to hold the
storms off so we can successfully fire off our hour fireworks,
her grand forks, and the number one thing even over
the fireworks is just classic barbecue foods. You can get

(07:15):
fancy if you want. But half said they'd be bombed
with things like burgers and hot dogs. Weren't an option.
Talked about this yesterday. Burgers and dogs, bronze polishes, they
get no respect. Sometimes people think I only do this
once a year. We've got to fire up something that's
going to cost you more money. I don't know if
you think you're impressing the guests with that. I enjoy it.

(07:37):
I enjoy it. I'll say it, oh loud, good old
wiener on the krill. Throw me a burger delicious. Paul
also looked at the top fourth of July foods. Most
popular means are burgers, hot dogs, chicken, ribs, and sausage.
Nothing shocking here. Most popular sized potato, salad, chips, baked beans,
devil bags and cole Sly, you know your crew do

(07:57):
it right. You don't need to overspend on fancy meats.
You know top must have thanks activity, some of your
answers rolling in here. We're gonna fire off the touchdownes shortly,
tiffanitely going to dope beverages, pool party and cornhole. Oh
you've got some water fantastic like a pool too. I
like to be able to see the bottom. Shouldn't be

(08:19):
anything touching my toes, seaweed or surprise sunfish? Is that
going with some tea bags to throw into the river
to celebrate felonies? Okay, interesting, off to research that a
little more. Michelle, just going with food, fun and friends.
The three fs, well coming up, it is trending. Next,

(08:44):
if you're born where you are, got some cities that
will pay you to move there? Stand by excel nuinety three. Hi,
well hey or good morning? What is your name? Kelly
is Kelly?

Speaker 4 (08:59):

Speaker 1 (09:00):
What's up for the fourth? Kelly? Give me your top
must have things and activities for your upcoming Fourth of
July weekend?

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Fireworks and water?

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Like you need to be by a body of water.
I thought you're meant like a cup of water, bottle
of water. Mix in the water. She's gonna be toasty,
So do that too. What do you prefer a lake
or pool? It's on you. It's your choice. Lake. It's
much easier to put your floaties in a splash pan

(09:32):
and a pontoon on a lake. But I just like
to be able to see the bottom. I like to
know what is not going to be touching my feet.
And I guess mostly I don't have a lake place either. Yeah,
there's always public speeches. You can make it fun. But

(09:53):
if you've got enough friends, maybe one of them's got
a pontoon, which I think is the best, the best
boat to have on a lake, because really you just
sit there and flow. Yeah, jolly, it sounds like you
disagree on a number one boat on a lake.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I'm really just like laying a tube and float kind
of girl. Okay, So yeah, you'd be okay with pontoons,
but you're actually getting in the water. I'm a layout,
a tube and full kind of girl too, Kelly. What
do you want to do here? I can get you
to North go to State fairnessy either Fat Shoe with
bow Wow Soldier Boy and Rick Cross on the twenty
fourth or Luke Bryant on the twenty sixth. I can

I know I love you here too, but maybe you're
just itching to move easy to live her this time
of year when it's beautiful out. But I know you
know how long our winters can be. Maybe you don't
need a little incentive. These programs may be for you.
The trending today following cities and states. They're going to
pay you to move there. So as long as you

are eligible now to qualify for these programs, all you
need to do is work remotely from a state other
than the one you choose, be a US citizen, be
older than eighteen, and be able to relocate soon after
your select which moved to any of these places. We
start with West Virginia, giving an incentive of twelve thousand

(12:06):
dollars plus an outdoor recreation package and a co working space.
But you must live in one of the following communities
New River, George, Greenbrier Valley, Morgantown, Eastern Panhandle or Greater Alkins.
Not really familiar with where any of these places are
other than in West Virginia. Never been there before? Heay
twelve Grand Telsakloma on the list. They'll give you ten

(12:28):
thousand dollars after you purchase a qualifying home and a
three year membership to a co working space. How about Topeka,
Kansas ten grand will be allocated for rent in the
first year of your move, or up to fifteen thousand
dollars to put toward buying a new home. Board of

five granded down payment and closing cost assistance, but you
have to want a lottery catch you in Alaska offering
two thousand dollars and three months of free interneticus that's something.
And Newton, Ohio ten thousand dollars in cash is what
they're offering if you purchase a home worth more than
two hundred and forty thousand dollars, which feels pretty much
every home these days. A lot more information. All these

(13:13):
programs do have some fine print, and I do have
all the informational link for all of them, excelmighty three
dot com, the Trivity page. But if you're bored where
you are, those cities will pay you to move there.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
And I said, now, well, I'm glad you were there
last week as opposed to this week. I've seen many
an occurrence around New York around the fourth of July
where aliens start invading, monsters start destroying it. It's never
good around this time of year. So I'm glad you
were there last week.

Speaker 4 (15:31):

So I'm back.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Okay, good, well do let's do random facts. We'll talk
buying and selling, and I'll hit you with a question
to your today. Ready.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
We're even learning during the fourth of July week here,
Bench didn't know, betch didn't know. When Zachary Taylor was
president's and he was speaking at Dolly Madison's funeral, he
invented the term first lady. That's where that came from.
Zachary Taylor, President speaking in Dolly Madison's funeral, invented the
term first lady.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
I was waiting for you to say, Zachary Taylor, Tom, that's.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
That was my first thought too. I think that's his kid.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yeah, I was like, thinking, we're going to talk about
tool time.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
I guess before first lady, they just used our j's
term for significant other. He always goes with old lady.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
She's such a catch, that guy, such a catch.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Oh my buddy, my buddy.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
But I hope you're listening and heard me say that.
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Howard Johnson Hotels. Bet you did know? They're a luxury
brand in China. They're all four or five star hotels,
the Hojo, the Hojo and in China luxury brand hotel.
Maybe they're the exact same size, just all the other
hotels are a lot smaller in China. Again, i've never
been there either.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Get Yeah, that's when I lived in Fargo. Say it's
the bar by the hot and you'd say, no, by
the hojo, because one corner had the hojo, one corner
had the ho Do you know she don't want.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
To confuse them. Southern North to North Dakota, toc there.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Ever been to Hawaii, Courtney? I haven't have you. There's time,
there's time. Yeah, Vetch didn't know. Hawaii is the record
for highest low temperature and the lowest high temperature in
the United States. Highest low it's all time low. Ever,
it was fifteen degrees. I find that hard to believe.
But there's some mountains in Hawaii too. It's the peak

(17:34):
of a mountain. Hawaii couldn't be fifteen degrees. But that's
the highest all time low temperature. And it's all time
high is one hundred. Every other state is at a
temperature higher than one hundred degrees. Wow, blown mins, I'm
taking names today.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
The low muster really dropped some pineapples, or do they
know they don't grow on trees? Uprooted them?

Speaker 1 (17:58):
I think it did both of that cold.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
I remember my one winter I spent working in Panama City, Florida,
and there were two mornings that started off at a nice, Sonny.
In those twenty eight degree days, we just got a
little cold, like a September frost. Maybe we'd get around here.
They canceled school. Not going to a chance putting the
kids outside today, Sonny in twenty eight degrees to start
the morning, can't do that. McCauley Culkin, his middle name

(18:26):
was Carson at birth, but a while back he legally
changed his middle name to McCully culkin, so his full
name is now McCauley mccullay Culkin Culkin. That's awesome. I
think that warrants him a cheese pizza just for him.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Trevor Trevordy d ste.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's better with mccullay Culkin.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
The three most painful insect stings around here we would
have to put the yellow jacket in August and September
when those sons and guns suddenly show off put their
attack on us. But they're not on the list. Three
most painful insect stings are from a bullet ants, the
warrior wasp, and tarantula hawks spider wasp. That's something I

(19:12):
don't even want a Google image. That's an instant nightmare.
I'll keep you awakens tarantula, hawk, spider, wasp, wasp wasp.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
That's what you talk about when you're sitting around the
campfire in Canada day when you got hit by the edge.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Hey, sure that if you're go into the lake this weekend,
when you're huddled around with friends and the night is
upon you and you think there's something that might be
crawling on you, did you know hopefully it's not a
bullet ants. That's one of the three most painful painful insects, stings.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Or mess with your buddies. Sure it was a bullet ant,
but I took it. I took it.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well, Hey, Courtney, buying and selling, let's get into it.
What are we talking about today?

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Well, I'm going to talk about if you don't get
enough info and excitement when Trevor and I visit once
a week on Wednesdays. I know, I know. I have
a monthly newsletter and I drop all of the fun
things going on in the Grand Cities in it. Freebies
in there. My school calendar if you got one of

(20:16):
those last year, it's a magnetic calendar with all of
the school dates for both Ground Forks and East Grand
Forks is included in there, and so if you want
to copy of my newsletters, you can stay in the
know of what's going on. This last week I sent
out all the things going on for the fourth of
July to my newsletter list, so everybody got that. You
don't have to go on to the Facebook groups and say, like,

(20:38):
what's going on for the fourth I put it all
into a little doc for you. Yeah, So I try
to be a little handy dandy. It's not just about
real estate, Trevor. It is also about giving people the
resources so they love our little community here. So if
you want in on that, you can go to my
social at Grand Cities Living, both on Facebook or Instagram.

(20:59):
If you can't find the link to sign up for
the newsletter, let me know. You can always DM me.
I can send you a copy. And if you're like, ooh,
my magnetic school calendar is outdated, Cortney get me that.
You can also message me as well. I'll get you
one in the mail right away, so you can. You
can give me a call to seven zero one five

(21:20):
eight zero two zero two four. Again, you can find
me on the socials or you can UF you. If
you get bit by a bullet ant, the best thing
to do would probably be to message my broker, find
her on ext realt.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Dot net, so many things.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah, she'd love it. I wish you would listen to
this because she'd be like, what what's going man?

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Why am I?

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Why am I going to call about this? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Courtney, I need to be part of your your newsletter
chain too. But I've got Courtney's contact infull I will
send it your way. You can contact me. That might
be easiest.

(25:29):
Of course, the food is not free, but a free event.
And at Cirtoma Park there that's located right off thirteenth
and thirty fourth.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
And before we talk about the fireworks, let's talk about
the fourth of July. The drawing, the raffle, always fantastic prizes.
And I was just looking at this this morning.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
There's a car on there, Yes, there is a car.
So each year we do a raffle. This year the
ticket is twenty dollars. We will be selling it the
day of the vent or locate any of us Certoma

helped distributor or excuse me, participate in our raffle and
at twenty twenty five, Toyota Corolla is our grand prize,

(26:10):
along with some electric bikes, cash and some gas from Simonson's.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Fantastic So if you want tickets right now and you're listening,
just track down Statoma members on the fourth ship best.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yep, before the fourth, or if you're on the fourth
you can reach us out on social media.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
We'll hook you up with it and make it.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Northern Roots boutique k over There has tickets also available
a few other local businesses, but hit us up on
social media. We'll find you or come out and join
us on the fourth of July and then the fireworks
and then the fireworks. Yes, so ten thirty they're at
South Middle School.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Pick them out, eh. I think I asked this and
then I forget as the year goes by again because
it's fantastic it is.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
I mean each year we do bigger and better, and
I mean as the world evolves, the fireworks get bigger, right,
So somebody down in the cities we contract with, so
bring them up here. And then hopefully no rain. But
if we have rain, we hope to shoot them off
then on Saturday. But no rain, no rates question too.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
It's myself and Brandon Bachensky yesterday were trying to brainstorm together,
put our heads together. When the last time that happened
was and I can't remember that happening. I can't either.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
I mean I haven't been I wasn't part of the club,
but I know it has happened, but many many years ago.
So we will pray it doesn't happen this year.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
And you guys did a good job of picking a
Friday for the Fourth of July this year because a
lot of times after the fireworks, they basically have to
go to work. Yes, it's that time already for Trevor
to drive in the middle of the night to get
to work. So it's nice it's on a Friday. I'm
going to give you guys all the credit for that
this year. Thanks for getting in codes with the calendar folk. Yes, nope,
no problem, sir Toma. The Greater Grand Forts Festival Fireworks

(27:50):
begins eleven am at Satoma Park and the fireworks set
for ten thirty twentieth Street and forty seventh Avenue, south
by South Middle School. You're on the south side of
grand Ford. You're going to see those fire those fireworks,
we're gonna I'll call again. We'll keep pestering the weather
Service until they finally cave in.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Please do.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
We're gonna make it a nice night. Yep. Well, thank you.
Malory Bernhard from sir Tooma, coming in today. Answer my
question of the day, must have things and activities for
the fourth of July.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yes, I liked a few other comments. I'm definitely hot dogs,
fireworks and family.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Don't hot dogs get a bad rap? Sometimes burgers and dogs?
I think number one grill food. People always think I
have one grill out. We've got to do steaks, and
we've got to do kebabs and which are fine, but
you're paying more money. The wiener gets a bad rap.
Sometimes hot dog burger that's all you need.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yes, agree, one hundred percent, and add a few fireworks
in there.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
You're golden, beautiful. We could be grilling pals. Well, thank
you for coming in. Having fourth and two more sleeps.
Let me put it this way.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Your Wednesday Morning Moron Award. Yes, mourn Excel ninety three.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
If your backyard table looks like this. On Saturday morning,
I threw a fun Fourth of July party. But if
the hood of your car looks like this, you might
have a drinking problem. Some more on in Northern California
got pulled over Sunday after a cop saw him swerving
around on the road and they knew he might be
drunk when they looked at his car and it was

(29:23):
loaded with empty beer cans. They spotted an open can
of bud Light and his cup holder. Then they found
more than seventy empty cans of bud Light floating around
his suv. I mentioned how lovely that would smell. It
happened in Sonoma County, about forty five miles north of
San Francisco. They lined the beer cans up on his

(29:43):
hood and shared a photo online, So counting them up,
you can count seventy three of them. Seven were twenty
five ounce tall boys. They breathalyized him and he was
more than three times I legal limit. They arrested him
for drunk driving and driving on suspended mine license, and
it turned out it was suspended because you guessed. At

(30:05):
another recent DUI charge, drunk driver Northern California had more
than seventy empty cans of bud light and his car.
Cops lined them up on his hood and took a
picture breathalyzer showing he was more than three times the
legal limits and he will end up with the Wednesday
Morning more On award. That is now our eighth trip

(30:25):
to California, in second place for the year so far
for twenty twenty five.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
This thats sound Lty three two slaves.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Fourth of July. An't found the perfect Fourth of July party?
Must have these four things. Classic barbecue, booze like burgers
and dogs, great music, outdoor games, and of course fireworks.
Your dog's around for the burgers and dogs, great music

(31:02):
and outdoor games, but they don't care for fireworks. What
is your perfect Fourth of July? My question of the
day one of the time. Must have things in activities
for your Fourth of July weekend. This gets you qualified
for Madora eight thirty five. We'll play. That's a fact.
We haven't done that yet. This week. You can win
your tickets in the North Dakota State Fair. Billy Zimmerman,

(31:24):
Jelly Roll, Fanchow Bowow, Soldier Boy Rick Ross going to
be there. We've got to loose Bryan tickets for you
choose your own adventure winning coming up. Gotta have an
answer to my question of the date? What are your
top must have things? Last activities for your Fourth of July?
Upcoming weekend? Wit are you about half an hour away?
Thirty minutes on the way? Other prizes too. Have got

(31:44):
some race tickets, a couple of movies you can choose from.
Gets qualified for the next Madora trip going on Monday morning,
including accommodations past mador Musical Pitchfork, fond Due both town
hall show during the day, all the activities in Madora.
What's your perfect Fourth of July? Where are you going?

(32:05):
What do you do it? We've got your Fourth of
July music. Speaking of music, one of the foremost important
things brought to you by Hugoes, Wind and Spirits. Fourth
of July Summertime throwback a long weekend beginning tomorrow morning.
All your favorite not just regular throwbacks, but summer throwbacks.
And that doesn't just mean I'm playing Summertime by djhzy
Cheff and the Fresh Prints eight hundred times, songs that

(32:28):
were big in the summer. They'll trigger memories because these
songs were big in the summer. So keep sharing through
social Media's that tokbank button on the iHeart radio app,
and I'm going to bribe you with VP to North
Dakota Country Fest next weekend. Put up a post tomorrow.
We'll get into that tomorrow. A lot of people traveling

(32:50):
get in the roads in the roundtown and of course
on the highways. Where we're lucky we live where we
live where there's no gridlock, like say the Twin Cities
emptying out and back in. I can't even imagine doing
that every weekend during leg season, especially around the fourth
of July. But does it sound like a good idea?
Maybe it does till you're running lad for work and

(33:12):
have to make three rights. A professor of civil engineering
at Penn State thinks we should ban left turns at
more intersections around the country. He says they're more dangerous
than most people realize. Around forty percent of all crashes
happen at intersections, and over sixty percent of those crashes
involve somebody making a left. Half of them involved with

(33:35):
serious injury, and one to five involved a fatality. So
he says banning left turns at busy intersections would save
a lot of lives. Now Another reason to do it
is they make intersections a lot sufficient green arrows to
make love turns safer, But then everyone else at the
intersection has to wait just so a few cars can
turn left. I don't know why those seconds drive us

(33:55):
so crazy, but they do. He thinks more cities should
make left turns illegal, at least during rush hour. During
rush hour would save lives, and maybe it gets you
to work a little faster. But here's the thing. People
don't work eight to five anymore. We've all used the phrase,
especially since the COVID driving around one in the afternoon.
Does anybody work anymore? You walk into Sam's bub it's

(34:18):
packed busier than a Saturday. Sometimes roads are just as
busy as they would be five o'clock. I know it's
different living where we live compared to say, the Twin
cities that I brought up earlier. Should we ban left
turns at intersections? Interesting idea. I don't think it's crazy
enough to work. Though forty percent of all crashes happen
at intersections, over sixty percent of those accidents involve someone

(34:39):
making a left Do your best to be safe. One
more thing on the way before we go ninety three
minutes commercial free coming right up? Want to have a
bad day forget to do or don't do these Really
there's five on the list, but two big ones on
the list. Don't do these things. We'll get into it
together next Excel nighting three? Fine, Well, hey, good day.

(35:05):
Who is this? What is your name? This is Dana?

We've got Fat Joe bow Wow, Soldier Boy and Rick

(36:33):

Speaker 4 (36:59):
Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
Think that's animal planet. That was fillians full of lies. Yeah,
all right, let's turn this around. Need three. We have
four more chances. Some spiders can use can excuse me?
Some spiders can fly using silk threads and the wind.
Is that a fact?

Speaker 4 (37:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Called ballooning. Just when you couldn't be creeped out by
spiders anymore, they're coming from everywhere. Yep, all right. The
first hot air balloon passengers were animals. Is that a fact?
What do you think, Dan, I don't think that's a fact.
A duck of sheep and rooster walk into a hot
air balloon, so probably is a fact.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
They probably threw them in there to see if they
would they would die.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
I'll let you take that back. Is a fact, that's
a fact. They made it. A duck of sheep and
a rooster. Hopefully they got along.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Goldfish can only remember things for three seconds? Is that at.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
I'd say that's a fact.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
It's a short attentions. Then that's, unfortunately non a fact.
They have memories lasting months, which makes it even sadder
when you see a goldfish swimming around a little little
ball by him or herself. I know, let's send this
with a win here, let's end this positive. The human
stomach gets a new lining every three days. Is that
a fact?

Speaker 4 (38:24):
No, it's not a fact.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
You want to think about it for a minute. Oh
maybe it is.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
Maybe are we going fact?

Speaker 7 (38:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:34):
I would say it back, that's a fact to prevent
self digestion, and it's also a fact. Dana's going to
look Brian North Dakota State Fair wrapping things up on
the twenty sixth, What station's pround to be your concert connection.
Thanks Mysery Dana. Should I put you on the shortlist
for our next Mador trip going on Monday? That would

(38:56):
be awesome? Done that undone done? It's not for one
more thing on Xcel ninety trade one more time, one more,
one more Oh. How's your morning going so far? Perhaps
you're having a rough morning, it may just be ready
for the long weekend, or you skipped one of these things?
What are more of these things? Today? A poll by

(39:19):
the Mattress brand Nature Pedock asks people to name little
things that can throw your whole day off, and here's
your top five's according to them. Skipping your morning workouts.
I guess I've had like ten thousand bad days in
a row because I don't work out in the morning,
so I get up in the middle of the nights.
But if that's your normal routine, you skip it. You

(39:39):
do get a burst of energy from whenever you work out.
Not showering once again, the shower kind of refreshes you,
unless you're chronically shower before bed and don't shower in
the morning. A lot of it's habit stuff. Habitual stuff.
Not drinking water makes sense, doesn't matter what I do
the night before, if I've been out for a bush
latte or do s echis or two, or if it's

(40:00):
just a normal day, if I wake up and I
need a glass of water within about the first four
minutes even awake. Here's the big two though, forgetting to
brush your teeth and not having coffee because you forgot
or didn't have time. If you're not a coffee person,
that's no big deal, obviously, but if that's your routine.

(40:20):
Survey found the average morning routine takes takes thirty minutes
and takes twenty five minutes before we feel fully awake.
It also found waking up on the wrong side of
the bed is a real thing. Thirty seven percent of
people can tell if they're about to have a bad
day within the first ten minutes of waking up. But
I'll leave you this. Turning a bad day into a
good one is indeed possible. To things that can prevent

(40:42):
a bad day or eating a good breakfast, getting some
fresh air, drinking water, just taking time to stretch. Little
things can throw off your whole day. Skipping coffee, if
you're getting brush your teeth, not drinking any water, not showering,
and skipping your morning worked out. If you've skipped all those,
might as well go back to bed and wait for tomorrow.

(41:05):
Or stick around here because winning one thousand dollars will
turn your bad day into a good one. First work day, Payday,
keyword of the day on the way worth one thousand
dollars and we'll do it nine times today. Brought to
you by sky Dancer Casino and Resorts. So keep it
here do slaps to the Fourth of July. Neighbour haters,
can't scat fever, unicorn, puke, I love. I'm looking forward

(41:27):
to being out of Generous Jerry's tomorrow afternoon to just
walk up and down the aisles and look at the
new names of the fireworks this year, Real names of fireworks.
A bell available for the Fourth of July this year.
That's fire up alike, say and like, So, what are
some fireworks we can buy? Happy Fourth of July.

Speaker 7 (41:41):
I've detected fireworks with names that sound completely made up,
but somehow they are real, like exploding unicorn, glitter, angry beaver, fountain,
screaming monkey butt, Psycho ex girlfriend sasquatch, tacos andy, always classy,

(42:02):
meth lab madness, just a reminder, none of these are
alcoholic beverages, so please stop trying to drink them. Enjoy
your celebrations responsibly. Also, your neighbor Gary is already missing
an eyebrow.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Oh happy say fourth of July, guys, I discovered salt
