that Luke Brian show as well. But we got one
(00:21):
more set. We are doing a scavenger hunt today. Producer
Hunter and I are going north of the city. We're
gonna take I seventy seven north. After the show, we're
gonna sit down at a restaurant chain that has been
featured on a very prominent Food Network television show. That
was Producer Hunter's clue. I believe it was the Food Network.
We're gonna be giving you clues throughout the day, but
also if you follow our show page on Instagram, you
(00:42):

(01:46):
The Cat is Graham in the Mornings. Good time for
did you know? With Graham in the Mornings on ninety
six point nine. The Cat. Starbucks got its name from
a character in the classic novel Moby Dick. So back
when Starbucks was just getting starts in Seattle back in
the early seventies. The founders wanted a name that felt
kind of adventurous and connected to seafaring history, which was
(02:07):
prominent in the Pacific Northwest. So at first they were
considering a mining town named Starbug, which was closed, but
not really it yet. So at some point someone pointed
out that there was a character named Starbuck who was
the first mate in Herman Melville's famous whale hunting novel
Moby Dick. So the name had a nautical vibe, which
they loved. They tossed the nesta on it and it
became Starbucks. And what's really funny is that Starbucks, originally
(02:29):
they didn't sell like the lattes and frappuccinos they're famous
for now. It was simply just a store that sold
whole coffee beans and coffee making equipment. But today, that
little Seattle coffee shop that named itself after a character
in the Moby Dick novel has grown into one of
the most recognizable brands on the planet, with thousands of
locations all around the world. And that's did you know
(02:51):
on ninety six point? Now I'm the cat coming up
Kip Moore, Billy Carrington, tickets seven thirty, Cat Fight Graham
in the Mornings. What it is talking about todays? You
were Tom three on Graham in the Mornings on ninety
six point nine. The cat telling you that Charlotte Douglas
Airport is busy. It's like telling you the sun is
going to come up today. But good news is airport
(03:12):
leaders are looking at a seven minute people mover that
would eventually connect the airport to future silver Line light rails.
Nothing is built yet, but when it does, it's going
to make getting to Charlotte a whole lot easier. In
case you need another reminder that summer is winding down,
and I do, because this heat is constantly making me
think we're in the dead of summer, but we are
winding down. Falls Right around the corner, Pumpkins spice season
(03:33):
has officially arrived. Coffee shops are already rolling out their
fall menus even if it's still one hundred and seventeen
degrees outside, and Charlotte f C. We're hanging around the
playoff picture as the season's coming to a close. The
Crown picked up a three to one win over Columbus
last weekend, then followed it up with a three to
three draw in Toronto last night. Charlotte f Se returns
home to Bank of America Stadium on August twenty ninth,
(03:55):
looking to keep that momentum rolling right on into the playoffs.
