Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's the talk back of the day on Graham in
the Mornings.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
One thing that's hard for you to sacrifice, not even
your daily life, but let's say like weekly something that
you want to do.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
So here's the scenario.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Recently, you and I have been very busy, We've been
working very hard. We love this show, we're trying to
create this show. We launched the new show page. If
you're not a part of Graham in the Morning's on Instagram, please,
by all means, selfishly, we would love to have you.
But for me, it has prevented me from making the gym,
and that's been really challenging for me.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
And I know it might sound small, but.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
This past year I've worked really hard to make some
changes for my wellness emotional, physical well being, and the
gym has been a place that I have found that consistency. So,
what's one thing that you feel it's hard to sacrifice
in your daily life that you enjoy so much or
it gives you so much enjoyment that you don't want.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
To sacrifice it.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
My first thaw is sleep okay, because you know I
commute here in the mornings. I'm at five o'clock every
morning to gate here on time or kind of on time, yeah,
kind of on time.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, But you do have a long commute, so I
tease you about it, but I give you grace because
I'm so thankful that you even make such a long
trip to be here and build what we're building here
at Graham in the mornings.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
But like we're busy with the show, then I go
home and try to be with my family, and sometimes
I have to sacrifice a little bit of sleep and
that kind of well being so that I can do
everything that I want to day to day.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
What do you sacrifice or what is so important to
you that you love. Sometimes it's money, sometimes it's sleep,
Sometimes it's time with family.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
What is it for you, cat Country that's hard to
sacrifice in your life?

Speaker 3 (02:41):

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Graham in the Mornings on ninety six point nine the cat.
Did you know?

Speaker 4 (02:57):
The little pocket on your blue jeans was not made
for coins? So back in the eighteen seventies, Levi Strauss
added that tiny fifth pocket specifically for cowboys and railroad
workers to carry their pocket watches. In fact, it was
originally called the watch pocket. More than one hundred and
fifty years later, we still have that tiny pocket on
most of our jeans, even though hardly anybody in the

(03:17):
world carries pocket watches anymore. So the next time you're
wondering or someone asks you what that tiny jeans pocket
is for, now you know it's a leftover from the
wild Wild West. It's ninety six point non the cat

away from the pony, but the pony is still able

The Cat.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
It's a doozy today. Ay's a doozy today. Okay.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
You gave me kind of a layup yesterday with the

I threw you a softball and you knocked it out

foot rope. There is a bail of hay twenty five
feet away. The pony is still able to eat the
twenty five feet away Hey, how is that?

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Pony can still eat. How is that possible? Producer Hunter?
It's Producer Hunter's riddle challenge.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
Is the bail twenty five feet away from the speaker.
It's not twenty five feet away from the horse. No,
the horses within that rain.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Is twenty five feet away and the rope's only twenty
feet Okay, but I like what you're doing. You're trying
to piece it together.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Is it because they dropped hay on the ground as
they were carrying the bailover?

Speaker 4 (08:57):
It is not, But that is actually a pretty unique
way to look at it. Nope, the only thing that exists.
Someone just dropped the bail of hay. Perfect, it's twenty
five feet away. It did not spread. It is right there.
It's the only place you can eat. And the horse
is twenty five feet away on a twenty foot rope.
But how does he make up or she make up
whatever the pony is that five feet Is.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
It because the rope is not attached to anything? The
rope is not attacked. Yes, I got it is not attached.

Charlotte firefighter heard about a medical emergency involving a young
teen the other day. Didn't hesitate, rushed over, jumped into help,
and ultimately helped save the child's life. The family has
since had a chance to thank him in person, and
it's a reminder that heroes all around us in every
day close and then. There's more good in our community
than bad. And sometimes it's hard to forget that with

the news. That's why I don't watch the news. But
good on you, and much love and big thanks to
all of our first responders out there. You show up
every day, you're ready to help people. You put others first.
