Speaker 3 (08:37):
Cat Charlotte Mecklenberg Animal Care and Control is hosting its
annual Clearest Shelters event this Saturday. It's going to go
from nine to five on Byrum Drive. I'm looking up
the address right now. It's eighty three to one to
five byrom Drive. So adoption fees they are going to
be waived for adoptable pets. Organizers are saying it's one
of their biggest events of the year. So if you
are interested in a specific dogger case, it's a good

(09:00):
idea to get out there a little bit early, even
if you're not really ready to adopt it. You can
also learn a lot about fostering, volunteering, and other ways
to help local rescue animals. And that's your good news.
Ninety six point non the cat. It's ninety six minutes

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Stephanie out of Mint Hill.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
What's an acceptable greeting when meeting someone for the first time?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Sound off? It depends on the situation when you're meeting people.
If it's like, if you're meeting three people.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
You know, I don't know that I want to say
everybody's can.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
It depends on how far we were standing time with
other people that are also meeting other people that you.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Don't have, like the handstakes going on.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
It could just be weird.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
If it's just one person, I'll do a handshake.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
You know what I'm hearing producer Hunter?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
What that?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
If she saw a producer Hunter coming, she's gonna do
a handshake.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, okay. But if she saw me coming, there's a hug.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Okay that's what I'm yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, yeah, you're the best.

But what did we get shout out to Christina. Christina
said a handshake for someone that you don't know, but
if it is someone you might know from a dating
app or online, you might get go in for a hug.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Then I think I gave Christina a hug. That sounds
familiar if it's the Christina that weighs in on the
riddles and everything she does.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, Okay, So.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
I ran into Christina, super awesome human being at Kip
Morris album release party in Nashville.

through Kip.

Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Friends, Yeah, we have mutual interests, I guess. Yeah, the
hug was nice.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, the hug, well, hopefully it was nice.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
I don't know. I was just like, Oh, I didn't
even think of it because you feel like you're already friends.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, so I got that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, but if it's the first time you've never talked
to him, never even heard of them, handshakes, probably the mo.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah, that story is still up.
