her name is Madeline Campbell and she has spent upwards
of sixteen hundred dollars of her own money in the
past for all kinds of school supplies and art supplies. Well,

(01:52):
parents knew that she was doing this and aster how
they could help. Maybe she had a wish list on Amazon.
Well she didn't, but she does now. She created one
and she shared the link on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
TikTok is actually where it really took off. She says
that you should use these hashtags for the greatest impact.

(02:17):
Teachers of TikTok fill my classroom and Amazon wish list.
She said, the response has been amazing, great idea, great producer.
Anthony Dane.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
The people in our Houston Fire Department are amazing and
always answered the call, even when it's for a kitten.
But this kitten wasn't stuck in a tree. It was
actually stuck inside a car dashboard. There were two women
that pulled into a fire station looking for help, and
Firefighter Alexander Odesky and the letter six grew jumped into action.
They carefully took apart the entire dashboard, give some assists

(02:48):
and eventually rescue this cute fur baby. And the Houston
Professional Firefighters Association said the whole incident actually led them
giving the perfect name. He's now named Spartan and it's
after the brand of fire engine that you can find
at this particular fire station. So a big thank you
to Firefighter Alexander Odeski and everyone with a letter six
grew who helped this sweet kit and get his new
chance at life.

(04:16):
producer Anthony, and we put our nearly impossible question up
on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
A quarter of the guys say that.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
We found that a quarter of a guy's lie about
their height when they're on a dating app, which is
kind of interesting because if we meet you, we're gonna
know that you were kind of lying about your height.
And if you're lying about your height, what else are
you lying about I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
That would just be a red flag to me.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
But anyway, some of the answers, Anthony are hysterical. Endowment
was one answer. Everything was another answer. And we're asking
you about your dating app story. And let's see who
we have from Cyprus calling in.

but it was kind of like my lifesaver at the
point to make sure the story short in marriage twenty
first Oh yes, fantastic. Wow, this is after nine years
of life together. We actually moved together back in twenty sixteen.

(05:35):
Honerful buds down to a little bit like every other relationship.
But anyways, I just want people to know that all
the experiences that you might get on those app some
people have actually exported.

two little girls.
