Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Fresh Show. This is what's trending, all right.
The Super Bowl was last night. The Eagles dominated early
and didn't stop. No three peat for the Kansas City Chiefs,
which I think makes a lot of people happy today.
Forty to twenty two. Last night the Eagles were up
twenty four to nothing over the Chiefs. As the second

(00:20):
quarter of Super Bowl what was it? I have to
do the math on this now, fifty nine I think, yeah,
sure works for me, ruin numerals whatever. My strong sit
me neither. But I just heard someone say it like
in the last twenty four hours. Well, yeah, you would
think I was probably said a lot and I just
don't remember, but yeah, so yeah, but it was looking
like a blowout and then they kind of cleaned it
up at the end of garbage time. But Eagles quarterback

(00:42):
Jalen Hurts his name super Bowl MVP. The Super Bowl
flu is what most people have today apparently. Oh yeah,
we're calling the Monday after the Super Bowl the day
of the Super Bowl flew. It could cost US businesses
several billion dollars and waste nearly one hundred and eight
million working hours collectively, nearly twenty three million Americans are
expected to call out of work today, and if they

(01:03):
do show up, they're probably not working very hard because
workers are about twenty five percent less productive and fumble
about two hours of the workday. The average US employee
earns that two hundred and twenty two bucks a day,
and if they waste a quarter of that on company time,
super sick Monday is what they're calling it. It could
cost the employers about to three billion dollars total. And

(01:25):
fifty five percent of people ask say that today, the
day after the Super Bowl, should be a holiday. Why
only have like who is who is the heathen? Right?
Saying no, no, no, no, no no. I mean, let's let's
watch football and let's eat and drink on Sunday night,
you know, past past our bedtime, and then you know,
at least our bedtime, and then let's, uh, let's go

(01:47):
to work the next day. So that's a great idea,
Like who would vote for the alternative right? I'm confused,
but three thousand adults over twenty one were asked. Seventy
one percent of adults regularly experience a case of the
Mondays after staying at late on Sunday. Sixty percent specifically
noted they're likely to face this challenge after the Big Game.
So moving on from that, twenty nine million people from

(02:10):
the Central Plains to the mid Atlantic are under winter
alerts today, according to the National Weather Service. This comes
as new systems are building and expected to dump more
snow from the middle of the country all the way
to the East coasting coming days. Another storm is forecast
to hit the West Coast on Wednesday, bringing the threat
of heavy rain that could trigger life threatening debris flow
in the burned scar areas because of the January wildfires.

(02:31):
So this could be a crazy week this week for weather.
President Trump has instructed the Treasury Department to halt the
production of pennies. We told you about this last week.
It cost a lot to make a penny. For far
too long, the US has minted pennies which literally cost
more than two cents, and it's wasteful. The penny has
been under fire for years, with the movement to eliminate

(02:52):
it picking up seam last month after Elon Musk's Department
of Government Efficiency called attention to the high cost of production.
Experts say at the right in cost of metals like
zinc and copper, it's part of the reason why it's
getting more expensive to make the coin. Police are scrambling
to crack an egg theft case. So we've got long
lines now all over the country, or at least in California.

(03:14):
There was one story like a Chico, California or something
long line at a farm to get eggs. I guess
people thought they was smart the system and they're like, well,
I'll just I just go to a farm. I'll just
go right in a source. No, no big lines for
eggs at you ate right. That would never cross my mind,
like I'm gonna go buy eggs ait a farm Like,
I would never think of that, that's where you get eggs. Sometimes.

(03:36):
I would never think to go to where they have eggs.
I would never be like, where's the nearest chicken. I'm
gonna go get an egg? Like I would never thine
like that. Helena loves an egg. Would you go to
a farm? I want to start a farm. I would
Paulina's far, thank you you will another business, Paulina spray
tan and chicken eggs. That's right, economy that might work.

(03:59):
Other animals have eggs, Kaitlin. It could be ostrich eggs.
There could be quail eggs. But she's gonna specialize in
chicken eggs. Yeah, okay, period because Ostrich looked like a
dinosaur looking thing. Man, that's like, that's a little aggressive.
But apparently a bunch of thieves decided that they were
going to steal eggs, which why not. Why would you
not steal a breakable, fragile, perishable item. That's why I'm

(04:23):
going to jail someday. It's like, what are you in for?
I mean for, you know, white collar crime? What are
you in for? Murder? Because they put all those people together,
What are you in for? I stole a bunch of eggs? Really? Yeah? Yeah,
But apparently hundreds of dollars worth of eggs were stolen
from Seattle from a cafe. The thieves apparently made off
with the hundreds of these things and they were captured

(04:44):
by security cameras. They apparently whisted off with about, uh
whisted off five hundred and forty eggs, as well as
liquid egg products, bacon, blueberries, and ground beef. The eggs
are valued at four hundred bucks in the total cost
of the stolen goods at eight hundred So what do
you do? Open a restaurant next door and then cook,
call me, what do you do with all that stuff?

(05:04):
I don't know. Man, the price some groceries that you
said they got some ground beef too? Yeah they did,
Okay they did. And for Valentine's Day, which is Friday,
Best Friend's Animal Society is offering pet lovers a chance
to have a sleepover with a dog or a cat
from shelters across the country. Instead of going out this
February fourteenth, why not make a dog or cat looking

(05:24):
for a loving home or Valentine. So this is how
it works. This is in Houston, LA, New York, Bentonville, Arkansas,
Salt Lake City, Utah, and one other spot in Utah.
But Best Friends Animal Societies Valentine's Day sleepovers kickoff on Friday,
and if you're interested, you can stop buy a shelter

(05:45):
between Friday and Sunday to pick your date those intended
or interesting. Rather, it can also go to the website
to view potential long term love connections. I love this.
I don't know if pause are one tail at a
time or anyone in Chicago's doing this, but this sounds
like something I would do, which is my kind of
Valentine's Day. You know what I mean, we'll just we'll
hang out and eat all those eggs I stole from

(06:06):
that place in Seattle. I got some ground beef too.
