So a little girl on a Disney cruise ship fell

Ship was moving so quickly.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
It's crazy how quickly the people became tiny dots and
seeing they lost sight.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Of them, it looks like there was the mother who
they were esporting her across the bay.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
They blocked off the bigs and I just saw her cry.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Then I just felt for her at that moment and
I just started playing.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
That was a very hero worry.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Saying that he is.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Everyone was cheering on the ship and a quick responsibide.
He apparently had the treadwater for twenty minutes while holding
on to her before a lifeboat showed up. A witness
said she fell from the fourth deck. Thankfully they are okay.
Video is nampat akselmenty three dot com at the Trivity page.
Watch this dramatic rescue. There's a girl who has got
(05:26):
to overdo it for Father's Day for the rest of
well his life for sure. That is amazing. Another good news,
Warren Buffet just gave away another big chunk of his
fortune six billion dollars worth of Berkshire halfaway stock. It
went to the Gates Foundation and four other charities. He
pledged to give ninety nine percent of his money away.
(05:48):
It's the largest donation he's made since he started giving
almost twenty years ago. And finally, in your good news
trifecta guy in Virginia got his wedding band back fifteen
years after losing it at a Christmas tree farm. He
got a tree in twenty ten and didn't realize the
ring was gone until later. He went back with the
metal detector a few times but couldn't find it well.
(06:08):
The owners of the farm came across it last month.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
I couldn't believe when I saw Joe's trees come up.
Of course, I had no idea, and then Darren said,
you know, asked me if I described a ring to him.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
He said, yep, we found it. It was amazing. She
kept the.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Notes of anything that was lost and we always put
them on the bulletin board for a couple of years,
and as the years went on, we'd gather them and
put them in a stack and just hoping that one
day we'd find a ladle on a Ightack.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
This is a great bunch of people up here. I mean,
we love coming up here getting a tree. And I'm
just thankful for them that they kept that note for
fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, they tracked down a note with his info someone
jotted down fifteen years ago and got it back to him.
Imagine how pleasant that tree, that trip to him from
the Christmas tree farm was that week and for the
happy couple when he realized he lost his ring. But
fifteen years later, back cruise ships ran six billion dollar donations,

your movie premiere and hopefully soon to be Medora Connection
Excel ninety three, Excel ninety three, The Forks and Music Station,
People places, Things you love about Canada, you enjoy about Canada.
That is my question of the day today. I encourage
(09:02):
we're so close to the border to a Canadian vacation.
It was fourth of July last year. Myself, my wife,
my dog, jumped in the vehicle, put four thousand miles
on the Old Sportage and drove to West Coast Canada.
Not an a day, but in two days we were
in Edmonton. So that was aggressive and kind of boring
flat lands, but there was so much to see once
you get west of there. Plan that vacation. Maybe too late,
(09:27):
especially if you want to get any deals this year,
but so much to see. There's lakes, there's lakes that
there are no cabin zone, just big empty, beautiful lakes
out there. Recommend you do that. I know there's you've
got kids, kids in the car for eight, ten, twelve
(09:50):
hours for a drive. It's a long ways. I mean,
you need a lot of time to do it. Recommending
it to you guys. Maybe it's a simple delicious plate
of poutine. Eve had poutine in America. It's cute that
they that we try here. There's some places with decent poutine,
but there's pages devoted to poutine up in Winnipeg. I
(10:11):
think Southgate does a decent poutine here. If I had
to put a there's not a lot of poutine on
the menu and Grand fortun at least that I can
think of. If you think of something, better share that
with me so I can enjoy and try it out too.
Maybe it's a Canadian cold one you enjoy yourself a
cocone from time to time, which you can get at
Happy Harry's people places, things you enjoy about Canada. Maybe
(10:35):
it's a you can't wait for the NFL, the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers Canadian Football League seasons UNDERWAE And.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I'm not trending testag trending on Xcel ninety three.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Now, whether you're cool or not is totally subjective. Some
might say spring of Carpenter's cool. Others might say middle
aged radio hosts are even cooler. And I don't know.
I's just throwing it out there. I kid, I know
I'm not. That's why I give always so much stuff.
And I'm cool with that study look at what cool
means to the average person. In fact, they pulled six
(11:08):
thousand people in a dozen countries around the world, so
it wasn't just done here, And it turned out that
where he live doesn't actually matter much at all. Coolness
and what makes you cool is fairly universal. They found
it comes down to six core traits. Now, if you
score high in all of them, you're definitely cool, at
least to the average person. Also important to remember some
(11:32):
people are idiots, thoughso grain of salt for sure here,
but here are Nonetheless, you're six traits that make us
think someone's cool being extroverted, adventurous, and open. Those make sense. Autonomous, hedonistic,
and powerful might need some explanation here. I'm guessing you
(11:52):
know what the first three mean. For the other three.
Autonomous means you're independent, independent and don't try to fit in.
You're your own dog. Dignistic means you can enjoy yourself
without feeling guilty about it. I I thought that was
going to be one more risk game than that. But
you can enjoy yourself without feeling guilty about it. And
powerful means you're competent, don't let people push you around. Now,
(12:14):
if none of those six straits fit you well, it
doesn't mean you're not a cool person. You just might
not fit the cookie cutter definition what cool means. In
twenty twenty five, they noted Coolness is a social construct,
and everyone pulled had to be familiar with the word
cool for the vote to count, meaning that movies, TV
and social media have taught us what cool means. It's funny,
though I should go like true different decades. What was
(12:37):
cool in the eighties definitely not cool today in movies.
Kind of just repeating the definition though of cool. Past
studies have found being friendly and competent are also a
sense of cool, and authors of this study were also
quick to know that being cool doesn't mean you're a
good person either. As you look at the The Bullies
and all the eighties movies, I was mentioning many of
(12:58):
the coolest people in history, maybe even most of them
were total jerks. For example, until recently one of the
coolest people around was Kanye West. Are you cool? Though?
Study found it comes down to the six traits one
more time, being extroverted, extroverted, adventurous, open, autonomous, hedonistic, and
powerful the six core things that make kiss seem cool
(13:20):
to the average person. If not, just have a radio
show and give away concert tickets and you any hockey tickets.
It'll help. It'll make you think you're cool. Bet you
didn't know random facts coming at you now.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Excel nightty three, run to us by the Bloomoo's Bar
and grilled.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Check out new postabilities every Tuesday night starting at five pm.

first build it yourself furniture item Ikia created was a
leaf shaped side table call love its lb et in
(14:02):
nineteen fifty six. I guarantee put something together. Now there's
eleven extra pieces. If there was eleven extra pieces back
then too. What do you know about Disney You're planning
on a Disney trip over the next twelve months. Disney
World Disneyland employees who dress up as characters and walk
around the parks have to go through special training and
(14:24):
learn how to do with their characters correct autograph. That's interesting,
of course, the correct characters are there too, but it's
I mean, it's like real Santa needs some help, need
some impostor Santa's during the Christmas season just to be
able to get everywhere real characters still a Disney World
(14:45):
Disneyland Eyes wide shots as the record for the most
consecutive days of filming without a day off, or one
hundred days straight. At one point, Stanley Kubrick and Tom
Cruise five takes just walking through a door. Eyes Winde
shot four hundred straight days, said Christmas, Thanksgiving, the other Thanksgiving.
(15:08):
They did them all. Let's put time and perspective here, Vet,
you didn't know a million seconds is about twelve days.
How about a billion? A billion seconds thirty one years.
That's the difference between a millionaire and billionaire. Never wonder
(15:29):
why doctors wear scrubs that are blue or green? Makes sense.
It's because those are on the opposite side of the
color wheel from red and pink, which makes those colors
clearer during surgery. Now, you know, makes sense to me.
Ekscel money three.

XL ninety three.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Let me put it this way. You're Tuesday Morning more
on a war, Yes, more on my EXL ninety three.
I want to know where this guy got stabbed because
why was the nurse even looking? That's my first thought
when I read this story to myself this morning before
jumping on the air with you guys. Forty three year
old Michael O'Neill showed up in a hospital in Saint Petersburg, Florida,
(18:32):
with a stab one last month and needed an emergency surgery.
Cops haven't released a ton of details. I don't know
who stabbed him or why, but they do think drugs
may have been involved, and this next part makes me
think they're right. While he was in surgery, a nurse
bound his stash hiding in his well rectum damn near kilgirl.
(18:59):
The nurse he found a ball of tinfoil with white
rocks in it, along with a crack pipe and a
lighter that was all in there. They took Michael to
jail once he recovered. He's facing charges for drug possession
of possession of drug paraphernalia. And it's not his first
rodeo either. He's got a long rap sheet full of
other drug charges, including an arrest last year where cops
(19:21):
also found drugs in his rear end again, so kind
of a go to move, I guess. Forty three year
old man from Florida emergency surgery after someone stabbed him.
But now he's the one facing charges because while the
surgery is happening, nurse found drugs well you heard the
doctor in his rectum damn near kildo. That was the
(19:44):
quote from one of the doctors at the hospital. Nurse
also found a crackpipe up there, along with a lighter
and forty three year old Michael O'Neil will receive our
Tuesday Morning Moron Award. That is now our thirtieth thirtieth
trip to Florida in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (20:00):

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Fourth of July week, pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, it's a lot of independence this week happ in
Canada today. Today we're three sleeps from Independence Day. And I,
like I said off the air, I give you man props.
A lot of mayors be taking the whole week off,
but not Brandon. Lot to do a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
How many I want to know how many marriage you
actually know, Trevor, that's.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
True, it could be hundreds.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
You're right, You're right, it could be.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I want to ask first thing first here. I don't
know if you're considering a career change here as I'm
my computer to the left of me. I have It's
NHL Free Agency Day today, July first, and I noticed
your name pop up, but I don't see who you
signed with yet.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Every year, you know, until I turned fifty, every year
I'll probably be waiting. I'll get in a little bit
of good you know, good shapeens you in just in
case my name, you know, somebody calls to sign me
on July first, but then by the fourth I have
already forgotten about it.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
You're back competing with Joey chest now on how many
hot dogs you can throw down?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yep, exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I thought maybe you'd want to play with Jonathan taves
The and the Jets next season.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Hey, that's that's going to be something to see. I
really hope he does well, really really one of the
one of the good guys. So that's good to see
he's coming back.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Can't wait. Well, let's jump into city stuff. Let's jump
into some city stuff. I don't know if there was
a city council member meeting yesterday, being we were right
at the end of the month. Maybe it was one
of those five Mondays deal.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yes we did. We had the fifth Monday, which is nice.
We get a break at least of having a council
meeting at five point thirty. I will say that probably
one of the exciting things that happened last week is
last Friday we had by groundbreaking for the Ultra Sports Complex,
so that was pretty exciting. It was a big project
that's coming in massively under budget, which means we might
(22:34):
be able to get some courts, volleyball and basketball courts
and some sports training in there on top of the sickballing.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Does anything ever come under budget?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Not usually, including my list shopping habits, So I would
say you're right there. So those are two things I'd
like to see coming under budget, the sports complex and
my list shopping. But I'll take one of the two.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh, we're so glad she's sleeping this morning and not listening.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Right, I've did once I found out she never listens, rever,
I thought I was in good shape. So and not
that she never listens, she just doesn't listen to what
I'm on. She listens to the rest to day.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I'll have you know, she's not the only one who
doesn't listen, so it doesn't hurt my feelings. But if
she listens to the rest of the day, I can
put together promos so she can eventually hear this conversation.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Perfect. Well, we'll talk about that out there.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Construction updates South Washington, Columbia Overpass, any any updates for us?
And I kind of have a part b after that
one who times out traffic lights? Since they put it
in a bunch of new ones on Gateway, none of
them seem to be timed out anymore.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, we got Well, I'll go to the first question first.
We uh, I mean, we're going to have Washington and
open up sooner other than later. So we're kind of
in this let's call it six to eight week period
where we've got both some slowdowns in Washington and the
Columbia Ridge is getting work done, so that should be
wrapping up coming into August. Here of July August. On
(24:07):
the Washington Underpass, they are doing some lane work further
down in around like twenty eighth Avenue on Washington, so
there's quite a bit of work going on. I think
it's a good thing. It's always a bummer when you're
trying to move around, but that means the roads are
getting fixed, so I think it's things are going well.
And then Gateway, you know, that's one of those roads
where we've got to work together at the dot because
that's a state highway being on highway too there, so
(24:29):
they're you know, obviously the state's got a lot of
roads to keep tracking. We try to help them out
the best we can, but we have a little less
freedom to move quickly on state highways than we would
on a city street.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And it just seems that they need to fix the
lights again. New ones are up, and you can't catch
like nine green lights in a row like you used
to be able to a couple of few short weeks ago.
On Gateway.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I've figured out, you know, you can get just about
anywhere in town in ten minutes, and I've figured out
if it takes eleven or twelve, people get unhappy. We
got to keep it at ten minutes to keep it
keep people happy. So that's that's what we try to do.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
We need to give people who are really enraged with
the traffic a trip to New York for the weekend.
Here's a rented car, go.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Hey, New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, I mean, there's even Fargo
at times. Certainly plenty of cities to choose from where
it's not as smooth as this year.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
If you're driving through the Twin Cities, especially in the
summer months, if you can get through the Twin Cities
in under an hour, that's a win for me.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Yeah, that is, That's a fact at four ninety four,
six ninety four has always got to work on it professionally.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Fourth of July rapidly approaching Fourth of July week is here.
What are the rules on fireworks within grand Ford City limits?
Does anything go as far as different fireworks like say,
lady fingers, buzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gutbusters,
(25:56):
if you do dolls, are craft flappers, and there's more
on the list.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Here too, zippity do's and zippity don'ts.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There is a lot.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I would say people need to be careful. I think
it's one of those days where within city limits there's
any projectile type of fireworks are not allowed. You can
do so in the county, but I have a feeling
that there's a few of them that could shot out
within the city limits.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Soil where you go to Snakes the Snakes and Sparkler's Stand,
if you want to do stuff in the city, you
can go to that stand.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, you can go buy those in Minnesota or it's
pretty lame. So I you know, every year we get
asked this question, and we just hope that Alter isn't
putting fingers back on. That's kind of the thing I
would worry about the most.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I always say, this week when I'm on the air,
count your fingers now, and I want next week, at
this time, you have the same amount of fingers and toasts.
That's my goal for everybody listening.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
That's a great goal. I would agree with that one.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But be careful with the whistling bung holes, spleen splitters,
whisker biscuits, honkey liners, who's codus, Who's cored? Don'ts Jerry,
Mom's Nipsey Daisies with or without the scooter stick, and
the whistland kiddy chasers. Of course, I think, go what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I think you're reading right from the script of the
movie Joe Dirt. If I was a competant man.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
We're gonna we're gonna talk Fourth of July movies here
momentarily city info for Fourth of July, all the activity
going down of the when the where fireworks are? What
ten thirty? Is that right?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
They have fireworks just after dusk in and around ten thirty.
Keep your dogs inside if they're the type that you know,
don't enjoy that like most dogs. I believe we're still
doing the celt And you know, I haven't even checked
on wester Thoma puts the fireworks on every year. We
give a small a small bit of money to help
help put that on. They usually put on a pretty
good show. My last I heard it was going to
(27:46):
be back on the South end, shot off by you
and Field.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Just saw on that notification.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, I still think there's something cool about fireworks going
off over body of water. So I hope someday we
can get them back downtown. I think that's where they
they would belong and where it would be what makes
the most sense for an average Fourth of July goer.
But we'll see for now. Either way, sir, Ptoma Club's
putting them on. They do a great job, So get
(28:15):
out and get somewhere where you can see them.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Maybe you and I go to a city council meeting.
Mostly you because I think you have pol and I'm
just a weird radio guy wearing Hawaiian shirts in the summer.
I don't think I'm going to get a lot of
say out of it.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Well, I could throw out a card to leave the
you know, leave the diets and move out to the
feeder section and then you know, plead my case. But
I don't know. It's a tough that seahouns can be
tough sometimes, so I have to work on my speech.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
What if what happens if we get stormed out? What
do you know what a backup plan is? Or would
they do it the next night?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I have I don't think these Maybe they've got a plan.
I hope that it's not a raincheck for the next year,
because that'd be quite a bummer. Yeah, for sure, but
I don't think that's happening at least recent times. Everybody
knows what the backup planeffs.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Well, I'm going to make a call into the weather Service.
Maybe you want to make a call if you've got
some spare minutes in your day later today too, so
we can have a nice Fourth of July evening.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
And I think it's lined up. I think we're in
good shape. But you know, weather rapidly changes here in
the northern plains, So I'll make that call along with you,
and if we doubly plead our case. I think we're
doing good. Share I think so.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I think so well, Happy Canada.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
If anybody else thinks of that.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
We're the first for sure. People, places, things you enjoy
that are Canadian. That's my question of the day today.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Well, people, places that I grew up obviously playing hockey
and then professionally and played with a lot of Canadians
and spent a lot of time when I played over
in the khl and Russia and Kazakhstan with my line mates,
which Nigel Dawes and Dustin Boyd they're both Winnipeg guys.
And then we got Kevin Dallman who is from niag
around the lake. So those are my people that I
(30:00):
spent many many hours with on the plane and been
living with for eight years. Those are my people, and
hockey is really probably what draws me most of Canada
other than Huspian an hour and ten minutes from the border.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Well go Jets going twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six,
I feel this is finally going to be the year.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
We're gonna stop doing the Minnesota Vikings thing and you know,
look good during the season and not get there in
the playoffs. That's that's what they got to figure out,
Jonathan Thaves.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
And who knows, maybe you'll be signed by the time
the sun goes down today. Then I will hold out high,
high hopes for next year, no pressure.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I would imagine that that's more than likely the case.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
So I listen in my show prep today a list
of fourth of July movies to watch. Jaws on the list,
Top Gun, Captain America, the First Avenger, anything else coming
to mind in case we do have a couple hours
of rain time this fourth of July weekend.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I'm gonna I'm gonna shock the callers today and I'm
gonna calling audible. Don't get me thinking. And Joe Dirt
or if he likes to be called Joe Darte, has
got to be one of the American classics. You know.
It's like a forest stump. It's it's an epic. It's
a long tail on the life of one man trying
to impress a girl. And it's a pretty good movie.
So if you have time between watching Diehard one and
(31:20):
Diehard two, which I would obviously also recommend.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Not Real Dirt and number three goes down on it.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Oh yeah, you're right, that is true. So if you
have time between watching the whole trilogy of Diehard, I'd
watch Joe Dirt. That's just an American classic and I
think it's worth a time.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
But keep in mind, if you're watching Joe Dirt, that's
one of those movies you can't be like playing a
board game at the same time are grilling. You really
need to focus and pay attention, and you're going to
miss everything.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Well the plot lines, you know, they twist so fast
that you really you got to pay attention there because
you don't really miss something if you're not.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Grand Force mayor Brandon. But Shaskey well said, well done,
and happy Fourth of July to you and yours, and
I look forward to inconvening in fourteen more sleeps.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Thanks for having me in a special Happy Canada Day
to you, Tripty, Thank you bringing a tear drop.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
To my eye. Excel Nutty three, Hello, Hey, well, hey,
good day. Who was this? Kylie? Kylie? Places Things you
enjoy that are Canadian give me one one. I would
(32:31):
have to be the chocolate. Although the Canadian chocolate is different,
isn't it, It tastes much better.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
It's funny. Growing up there, we'd have family trips down
to Grand Fork, so Fargo and load up on chocolate
because just because it's different, the taste does.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Not It did tastes better, it's not quite.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
As taste more real.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I still enjoy going up there around how Halloween and
buying the the smarties, the arrowbars, the coffee crisps that'll
come in the one combo bank and slowly snack on
them so they last till next year.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Oh yeah, I think so lot.
Speaker 7 (33:15):
But they're good.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
But you're saying, once you go Canadian chocolates, you'd never
go back. No, not usually, that's what it says in
the back A lot of those bars too. Hey Kylie,
what do we want to play for here? When I
give you my Canadian quiz, I can get you. Maybe

Onawa or moose Jaw? What do you think? Toronto, Montreal,
Ontawa or moose Jaw.
Speaker 3 (34:45):

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Oh gosh, I'm sorry, I'm not sure Ottawa. I heard

we go on the buzzer, but I did not do it.
I couldn't even I was debating, all right. Question two?
What is the national animal of Canada? Is it the moose,
(35:13):
the beaver, the bald eagle or the polar bear. I
think it's the mood the national animal of Canada, but
it's definitely not all legal.
Speaker 6 (35:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Beaver and polar bear?
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Polar bear? And the other choice was beaver.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
Okay, we'll go with beaver.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Nice beaver, Thank you. I just had a stuff. Let
me help you with that. That is right, all right,
you're doing well, Kinley. One more, Which of these natural
wonders is found in Canada? The Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls,
(36:04):
Yellowstone National Park, or the Great Barrier Reef?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
But I know where most of them are.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
I'm not sure about the Great Barrier Reef though, using
my Geography minor, maybe Niagara Niagara Falls.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Maybe I'm not sure you are right.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
You're winner, Kylie. It is Niagara Falls. Great Barrier Reef
is in Australia. I just added to double check because
that's where it was when I obtained my Geography minor
in und But it's been a while, your winner, and
I'm qualifying you from a door too. If you can
tell me what stations your movie premiere connection.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Excellent three's not for one more thing on Excel ninety three,
one more.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Time, one more?
Speaker 3 (36:57):
All right?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
It is July. Somehow, I don't know how that happened
to either, but there's a lot to look forward to
this month. Let me just preach at you July to listening.
Don't be like like June was June. I'm not impressed. Sure,
you gave us some nice weather, but there is no
way there's thirty days worth of you. There is no way.
A lot to look forward to this month of July.
(37:19):
Amazon Prime Day next week. It's four days, this time,
running July eighth through the eleventh. In sports, Wimbledon Underway
Tour de France starts this weekend, Major Thing Baseball All
Star Games on the fifteenth of July. Golf's Open Championship
starts on the seventeenth, and the WNBA All Star Game
is the nineteenth. A lot of big movies this month.
(37:43):
Jurassic World Rebirth opens tomorrow, James Gunn Superman reboot lens
on the eleventh. We'll get you into that all next week.
I knew, I know what you did last Summer opens
the eighteenth, Fantastic four First Steps hits the Thes on
the twenty fifth, and Happy gil Moore To It's Netflix
the same game, setting up our medium for Happy Gilmore too.
I want it to be really good, but I just
don't want to be crushing disappointed. I'll set it medium
(38:07):
TV New Seasons of South Park and it's always sunny
in Philadelphia start next Wednesday. The new spinoff Dexter Resurrection
premieres on the eleventh, and the sp Awards on the sixteenth.

course the holidays, the big one fourth of July coming up.
But we've also got National Bikimi Day that's this Saturday,
(38:28):
National Fried Chicken Day Sunday, World Chocolate Day on the seventh.
I think that would be better served in the winter,
so the chocolate doesn't melt. It doesn't stand a chance
this time of year. I don't make the calendar National
Fresh Friday and National Molketo Day on the eleventh, so
you can get your fries in your molqto on the eleventh,
and then Ice Cream Day, ice Cream Day on July twentieth.
