Sometimes the simplest answer works. NASCAR News Todd Gibbs picked
up a big NASCAR Cup Series win at Iowa, jumped
(04:25):

before the chase begins, and third Greenville. South Carolina had
a busy weekend. The South Carolina New Play Festival brought
visitors from across the southeast downtown for love performances, family activities, entertainment,

(09:11):
on the right foot. How about Producer Hunter's riddle challenge.

We really make you think. It's Producer Hunter's Riddle Challenge
(09:45):
on ninety six point nine The Cat, ninety six point
nine The Cat. This is Graham in the Mornings. We're
looking for Charlotte from Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Hey, that's me.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
My favorite station.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I listened all the time. You're the best.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And from what I hear, there's a challenge going on today.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Oh yeah, we got a really cool gift on the
line for today's riddle challenge. And so, Charlotte, if you
beat me, you will get a fifty dollars gift card
to the Garrison and is a restaurant a part of
the Yoko Taste Trail down in York County.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I would love to go there, Charlotte. Do you have
somebody in mind that you would take.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I have a special friend I would take there. We go,
all right, Well, I'm pulling for you today's riddle. What
happens once in soccer, twice in football, but never in baseball?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Halftime? Incorrect, Charlotte. Should we disqualify him? Sure of course?
Oh yeah, Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
We'll give you a free gas. We'll give you a
free guess.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
That's a good compromise, Charlotte. You get a free guest
before he can answer. It happens once in soccer, twice
in football, but never in baseball. Now, halftime never happens
twice in football. So oh yeah, I really jumped again
that you would have got that incorrect.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Okay, once in soccer, twice in football, but never in baseball.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And if you were to write it down, the answer
might come to you a little bit quicker.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's gonna be your hint, Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
If you were to write those sports down, you would
see the answer.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's a hard one on a Monday. Oh god, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I'm going to get a pinned right now.

Okay, I'm getting a pin.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
You're off the bench, producer Hunter, if you want to play,
all right. He actually ran out of the studio. I
have a pin in my hand. I could have just
given it to him.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
All right, I'm back, Okay, all right, Charlotte, you get
one guest. Producer Hunter's back, and then we're.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Gonna take him off the bench and let him guess
the letter.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
The letter.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Oh, I just wrote it, all I just wrote it down.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That's right, all right, congratulations, you and your special friend
are going to dinner.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
On ninety six point nine, the cat Charlotte recently welcomed
its first of a con Us manufacturing facility. It's gonna
produce critical components use in the nation's electric grid.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
All right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Moral of the story, all of those really long words,
is that the company HSP US. They invested more than
sixty million dollars in the facility and is expected to
create up to one hundred and forty engineering and manufacturing jobs.
So more jobs, that's always a good thing. As I'm
knocking around the microphone, sorry about that. The plant will
help build equipment needed to modernize America's power infrastructure while
(13:06):
strengthening Charlotte's growing reputation as an energy and manufacturing hub.
Let's go, new jobs coming to the Queen City. That's
your good news. On ninety six point non the cat
mount rushmore.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Of movies, we'll just do two each. We got Ryan
on the line from Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Ryan, if you were to give us two movies that
would make your mount rushmore, Producer Hunter went Star Wars
and to Dark Knight The Dark Knight.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Ryan, what do you got for us, I'd have.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
To say Shawshank Redemption and Tombstone.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So Tombstone is gonna be on my four. It didn't
make my two, but that is a great choice.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
That is a great choice. Shawshank Redemption so good as well.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Shaw Shank is showing up in a ton. We posted
this to our story. So Ryan, you are knocking it
out of the Park. Those two are hard to beat.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Shaw Shank showed up a ton in the responses we
got on Graham in the morning's Instagram story.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Oh yeah, nice, Yeah, Ryan, you nailed brother. That's hard
to argue. Hell, you guys need to have a great
day today. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I would also venture out to say that Tombstone at
the top of the list of most quotable movies ever.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh, no doubt now, I'm sure of it. I hate them.
I love that quote in that movie that's so great.
Doc Holliday is the best. Nope, I'm sure of it.
I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:21):

but it's Avengers Endgame when Cat picks Fores hammer for
the first time. I do remember that being a very
momentous event in the Marvel world.

Mount Rushmore, I'll tell you that now.

Being a Batman fan, are you DC Marvel? I like both?

looking for Charlotte from Charlotte.

Hey, that's me.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
My favorite station.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I listened all the time. You're the best.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And from what I hear, there's a challenge going on today.

beat me, you will get a fifty dollars gift card
to the Garrison and is a restaurant a part of
the Yoko Taste Trail down in York County.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I would love to go there, Charlotte. Do you have
somebody in mind that you would take.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I have a special friend I would take there. We go,
all right, Well, I'm pulling for you today's riddle. What
happens once in soccer, twice in football, but never in baseball?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Halftime? Incorrect, Charlotte. Should we disqualify him? Sure of course?
Oh yeah, Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
We'll give you a free gas. We'll give you a
free guess.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
That's a good compromise, Charlotte. You get a free guest
before he can answer. It happens once in soccer, twice
in football, but never in baseball. Now, halftime never happens
twice in football. So oh yeah, I really jumped again
that you would have got that incorrect.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Okay, once in soccer, twice in football, but never in baseball.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And if you were to write it down, the answer
might come to you a little bit quicker.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's gonna be your hint, Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
If you were to write those sports down, you would
see the answer.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's a hard one on a Monday. Oh god, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
You're off the bench, producer Hunter, if you want to play,
all right. He actually ran out of the studio. I
have a pin in my hand. I could have just
given it to him.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
All right, I'm back, Okay, all right, Charlotte, you get
one guest. Producer Hunter's back, and then we're.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Gonna take him off the bench and let him guess
the letter.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
The letter.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Oh, I just wrote it, all I just wrote it down.
Speaker 1 (11:36):

Speaker 1 (12:33):
On ninety six point nine, the cat Charlotte recently welcomed
its first of a con Us manufacturing facility. It's gonna
produce critical components use in the nation's electric grid.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
All right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Moral of the story, all of those really long words,
is that the company HSP US. They invested more than
sixty million dollars in the facility and is expected to
create up to one hundred and forty engineering and manufacturing jobs.
So more jobs, that's always a good thing. As I'm
knocking around the microphone, sorry about that. The plant will
help build equipment needed to modernize America's power infrastructure while
(13:06):
strengthening Charlotte's growing reputation as an energy and manufacturing hub.
Let's go, new jobs coming to the Queen City. That's
your good news. On ninety six point non the cat
mount rushmore.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Of movies, we'll just do two each. We got Ryan
on the line from Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Ryan, if you were to give us two movies that
would make your mount rushmore, Producer Hunter went Star Wars
and to Dark Knight The Dark Knight.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Ryan, what do you got for us, I'd have.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
To say Shawshank Redemption and Tombstone.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So Tombstone is gonna be on my four. It didn't
make my two, but that is a great choice.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
That is a great choice. Shawshank Redemption so good as well.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Shaw Shank is showing up in a ton. We posted
this to our story. So Ryan, you are knocking it
out of the Park. Those two are hard to beat.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Shaw Shank showed up a ton in the responses we
got on Graham in the morning's Instagram story.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Oh yeah, nice, Yeah, Ryan, you nailed brother. That's hard
to argue. Hell, you guys need to have a great
day today. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I would also venture out to say that Tombstone at
the top of the list of most quotable movies ever.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh, no doubt now, I'm sure of it. I hate them.
I love that quote in that movie that's so great.
Doc Holliday is the best. Nope, I'm sure of it.
I don't.

momentous event in the Marvel world.

Mount Rushmore, I'll tell you that now.
