Poor Americans. Pizzas the number onechoice when it comes to this,
something that just didn't exist. Wasn'ta thing impossible twenty years and go.

(00:23):
I want to say, think technology, because I might steer you in the
wrong direction too. Pizza number onechoice when it comes to this. Axel
nay three, Good morning. Givea guess. Yeah, is it robot
pieza delivery or something like that?Robot pizza delivery? Is It's fascinating,
isn't it. It's yes, itis. It's not the right answer.

(00:47):
I wish it was the right answer. I kind of want to try it,
just to see what happens. Anddo you think people would be more
polite to the robots. I thinkthey might be with the fears. How
would they ring the doorbell? I'massuming they'd probably have, like to call
your cell phone, you'd have togo to the door, and it needs
sitting marional and they need to tipthem, that's the next question. And

(01:08):
if you don't tip them, theyplow through your door like Carnold Schwarzenegger's terminator
robot. Yeah. What was hisline where he goes and gets the vehicle
and rams through the police station,something like I will return promptly in a
short amount of time, something likethat. Yeah, I'll be back.

choice when it comes to this sendingfood photos on Instagram or Twitter. I
would have taken just sharing on thesocial media anyway, shape or form.

your today, Just because it soundsfun, and give me a why behind
it too. I'd love to hearthe breakdowns here. Let's see. Kayley
says, sea turtle Rehabilitation center.Oh, the o Henry, Omaha,
Nebraska's zoo. That's where that's acts, the sea turtle rehab Center. I
didn't know that was such a thing, so I guess that's for where the

sea turtles drink too much, ormaybe they get involved in prescription meds and
you need to wean them off.I'll google at Kaylee, thank you for
sharing. Julie says, work witha photography company or the Fargodome or Olrage

in with Woodman's downtown Grand Forks?But I had gained weight just smelling all
that delicious chocolates. I've only gota lot of other stuff. But is
ninety nine percent of what they sellchippers? I think it is the chippers

come to think of it. Don'tthink I've had anything else other than chippers.
Thanks sell Meddy three, good morning, Hello, welly, good day.

stuff, wouldn't you. Yeah,and then you could be that annoying person
during every movie for the rest ofyour life. You can stop and make
comments about you know, they usethis lighting because in all the pavements,

(06:53):
Why just because there's better lighting thatway, and he's expective. That's what
I took from my film studies courseI took in college. That's all.
I think. That's the only thingI really remember too is they always want
the pavement at night, so there'sbetter lighting reflecting off the ground. Perfect.
That's a fact. All right.We're not worried about what is going

(07:15):

I'm not one hundred percent buying intothis. Parents of your kids going into

(11:45):
their junior senior year, be awarethey could be hitting peak awkwardness right now.
A new poll asked adults how oldthey were when they felt the most
awkward. This part I'm okay withagreeing, but the average age was seventeen.
High school is a social struggle inno matter what decade doing through it.
Two thirds of adults said they stillhave moments when they feel just as

(12:07):
awkward as they did back then,And it turns out we're still worried about
a lot of the same things now. People were asked to name the top
things they were self conscious about asteams and the top things they're self conscious
about now. Top three things wereworried about we were worried about in high
school. We're our weights, ourhair, and our teeth, and those

(12:28):
are still the top things we're selfconscious about. That would have thought it
more have to deal with social circlesand making teams and what color are you
going to paint your mom's toenails,watching nuts landing on Gin Night on Fridays,
stuff like that with all high schoolkids worried about. Other things we
still worry about include our heights,our posture, our voice, our glasses,

(12:54):
and yes, acne too. Stilltoday is growing adults. But a
pole found the most awkward age seventeen, Tom thinks we were self conscious about
in high school. Still the Tomthings were self conscious about now your top
three, our weights, our hair, and our team. No matter what,
anybody says, you'll look marvelous.I can see through the radio looking

Denmark managed to save over ninety ninepercent of its Jewish population during the Holocaust

(14:20):
them. Interesting w W two erafat Have you heard of the straw hand
Riots of nineteen to twenty two.Well, let me inform you. The

(15:28):
six, That's the day Pigley Wigglywas founded back in nineteen sixteen, one
hundred and seven years ago. Itwas notable for being the first self service
grocery store where shoppers went through thestore and gathered their own stuff and put
it in a cart or basket beforePigley Wiggly store clerks would assemble your order
for you, weighing out dry goodsfrom large barrels. Son, Wayne,

(15:50):

wait for him to bring it toyour car. That's all I've got.
Now, you know, I'll wonderon my own time. Let me put

(16:12):
it this way your Wednesday morning.Laur On Award. Yes, laur On
Excel ninety three. We meet aman who was locked up for assaults with
a delicious weapon. A twenty threeyear old man in Florida arrested after assaulting
a couple of Walgreens employees early Mondaymorning. He went into the Walgreens about

(16:33):
one twenty in the morning because hewanted cigarettes, while the workers refused and
told him to leave. Now it'sunclear why he was denied, but he
was hammered, so that probably hadsomething to do with it. The guy
was furious and started throwing Snickers barsat the employees. He struck a female
worker in the face. The mailworker was hit in the chest. Neither

(16:56):
employee was injured by the Snickers bars, So it doesn't sound like this guy's
gonna ruin Snickers bars were Now they'regoing to be locked up like cold medicine
at convenience stores. The man wascharged with two counts of misdemeanor battery.
He was later released after posting onethousand dollars bonds. So do the math
on that, which these days isenough to buy like five hundred Snickers bars

(17:18):
or like ten packs of cigarettes,could have spent that thousand dollars. On
twenty three, twenty three year olddrunk man in Florida arrested for battery after
throwing Snickers bars at the employees ofa Walgreens when they refused to sell them
cigarettes. The workers were not injuredby the snickers and our twenty three year
old from Florida will end up withthe Wednesday Morning Moron Award. That is

(17:41):
now our thirty second trip to Floridain twenty twenty three. Keep answering my
question to Jore the Fresh writing contestback and I'm excited to host that again.

Saturday, get you into comic conssome other choices to at eight thirty five.
So some people have personal hacks tohelp deal with jet lag, and
most of them involved sleep patterns.But maybe it has more to do with
what you eat. Researchers from NorthwesternUniversity say the quickest way to recount calibrate

(19:37):
your internal clock is to immediately syncup to the regular meal times in your
new time zone. So if you'vejust got off a long flight but it's
morning where you landed, enjoy abig breakfast given if you've been on the
go for almost a full day now. The researchers say, jet lag isn't
just about a disruption in your internalclock. Your body as multiple clocks,

(20:00):
and jet lag happens when they haveconflicting time cues. So far, let
makes sense. For example, thebrain's clock is influenced by sunlight, but
other organs adjust their clocks during specificmeal times that you're used to. Basically,
the idea is to trick your bodyand thinking that you weren't on a
flight, and that the current timein your new time zone is also your

(20:22):
current in time. I've done noresearch at all, but I still think
the secret is not constantly complaining aboutwhat time it is for you, like
I'm fading, this is two aon my time. Just get it off
your mind. Go on vacations wheresomeone's still talking like that full week into

(20:45):
the trip. Juifer a jet lag, No big breakfast, I feel,
and I felt. I guess asyears have gone on, and when you're
overtired in general and don't get enoughsleep doesn't affect thank you as much because
you're normally tired at homes. Thatmakes sense having a big breakfast maybe the

(21:07):
secret to alleviating jet lag. Researcherssay the quickest way is to recalibrate your
internal clock immediately sinking up to theregular meal times in your new time zone.
It's as easy as that. Anyquestions, it's only a big breakfast,
now, it wasn't my stomach rumbleand thought making some noise? Here
have we been six degrees of Kevinbacon ing for two decades? Three decades?

(21:32):
I'm going to back up is areal thing, and not just for
mister Bacon. One more thing beforewe go, ninety three minutes commercial free
on the way, Thanks salmody three. Good morning, Hello, good morning,
Hey, good day. When amI visiting with? Hey, Dinara?
Where would you like to work?Just because it sounds fun and why?
Well, I would like to workat the Dallas color Stadium, and

(21:56):
you know why, And I wouldlike to beat the water girl instead of
the water boy. It just likesto go help out the players, the
one who runs onto the field duringtime outs. That's right, all right.
I mean everyone doesn't have to runon the field. They certainly have
plenty of water and gatorade and suchon the sideline. So you've thought about

(22:17):
this. You're you're a cowboy groupie, Yeah, you can say that.
And how do we think the Cowboysare going to do going into the brand
new NFL season? Well, youknow who, this a year, so
it's going to be our year todaythis year. So it sounds like you

(22:37):
kind of have the Vikings attitude,although the Cowboys have won a Super Bowl,
right right right? Cowboys? Watergirl, what do we want to
do? Do you want to goto the John Sits Memorial this weekend at
River City Speedway. Maybe you wantto four tickets to Comic On at the

(23:00):
eleven Center of the Saturday and Sunday. Or you just want to go see
a movie at River Cinema. Oh, let's get the comic con. Let's
get you Comic Con. That isfun. Grand Forks Comicon Saturday Sunday,
Elever Center ten to seven Saturday,ten to sixth Sunday. And you sound
like you're popular enough to use allfour of these tickets here? Oh for

(23:22):
sure? Yes, what station it'sproud to be? Or Grand Forks Comicon
Connection L ninety three. It's notfor one more thing on XCEL ninety three,
one more time, one more,one more hang on here, I
know I have a Bacon song.I know that Joe Bros. Have me
a Bacon song. Nick Jonas doesthere we go waiting on? So someone

(23:51):
getting Kevin Bacon on the horn forthis No Excuses study found we all really
do know someone who knows someone whoknows someone who knows on who knows someone
who knows him. Let me explainsix degrees of separation. It's the claim
anyone on earth is no more thansix social connections away from anybody else.

(24:15):
And a group of mathematicians just provedthis, just found that six really is
the sweet spot. They found everynew friend you ad comes with an opside
and a downside. The upside isyour social networking spans. But at some
point adding new friends weekends your otherconnections and old friends started falling away.

(24:38):
In other words, there's an equalibrium. And they found the six degree pattern
kept popping up. Quote when wedid the math, we discovered an amazing
result. The process always ends withsocial paths centered around the number six.
They say. It doesn't just applyto people, though, for example,
it also works with viruses like theco It's the quote, within six infection

(25:02):
cycles of virus can cross the globe. Isn't that interesting? Mathematicians, they'll
found that the six degrees of separationrule is true on average. The number
really is six. So, KevinBacon, you're no longer special. While
you're special, but just as specialas you and I. You're listening right
now and me as and I sixdegrees of separation, we're about ten minutes

(25:29):
of separation from you on a tripto Vegas. iHeartRadio Music Festival, nine
o'clock will drop that keyword on youto text the two hundred two hundred to
