The only choice I make when it comes to clothing is does it still fit me?

I don't know if you've had an opportunity to fat out of clothes.

That's a special feeling.

There are watershed moments in your life, right?

When you hold your newborn child or you fat out of a t-shirt,

it's amazing because you don't even go to the obvious conclusion.

You're like, well, this shirt used to fit.

I haven't grown since I was a teenager.

I don't have time for a burrito.

The best is when you pack for a trip and you fat out of clothes,

but you don't realize until you get there.

There you go.

Well, I guess I could wear that as long as I don't breathe out or sit down.

I still have all the clothes that don't fit me.

They're in my closet in case I have a dramatic weight loss over a weekend.

It's ridiculous.

It's like I'm curating an exhibit of my weight gain.

Well, that suit was from 30 pounds ago and that sweater was from last winter.

And this shirt, this shirt, never fit.

Have you done that?

Have you bought clothes that don't fit?

Thinking that'll be the incentive to lose weight?

It's like I've only gained weight for the last 40 years.

Maybe this shirt will turn it around.

Have you lose weight?

I bought a shirt.

It worked.

The wind blows hard against this mountainside

Across the sea into my soul

It reaches into where I cannot hide

Setting my feet upon the road

Part is old, hopes my memories

My body burns in just like a flame

Don't wear the tweezers on the sheet

It's where I find myself again

Q&A is on top of the cold that I must travel

Q&A is a good time, it's a good night

Q&A is on where I go with this new bottle

Q&A is on the highway in the night

So whenever I happen to these groups like Mr. Mr. and the 80s they were on top of the heap

Now where are they?

Where did these guys go?

It's 609 at WRJ and Radio I'm Don Rosen

I want to thank you for joining us here on this Friday

We're going to have an extended segment with Brett Hoffman at 730 today

My clements under the weather, so he won't be joining us with sports

Until then, just you and me

So I pulled up to a traffic light today

And a guy pulls up next to me, his base was so loud in his car

That my steering wheel was vibrating under my hand

It was so loud, boom, boom, boom, boom

How does this person drive in the car with that base on?

And I thought, well, all right, so I let him get ahead of me and he was out of there

The next car to pull up had the same thing, loud base, they must have been together

It just was so loud, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

And it could feel the whole car vibrating

That's only my first gripe this morning, I have another one coming up

The next one's a good one, no, and it's deservedly so

For today, we've got clotty weather for us

Heist 37, clotty lows around 32 tonight, chance of rain

And snow tomorrow, nothing much

Heist near 37, it's not going to stick or anything

We're accumulating

Sunday, clotty, a slight chance of snow, Heist near 38

I hate to say it, where's winter?

I'm happy with the way it is

But is this what they call global warming?

I mean, come on, we're in January here and we rarely

I don't, I think one day so far this winter

We've been below freezing during the daytime

Now I'm not complaining, I just, I'm curious, kind of spooky

That we're not colder

All right, do you want to hear my other gripe?

Well, I was going to save it, but I'll give it to you now

So I go to my cable company yesterday, I had to return the remotes

Because they weren't working, give me new remotes

So I get there about three o'clock or so and the doors are locked

I'm banging on the window, no one's there

I see other people pulling up and banging on the window with me, no one's there

So I call the cable company

And till you can get a live person on the phone eventually I get a live person

Very nice lady, very nice

And she says, what we can't call the individual stores

They, we don't communicate with them, they have no phones in there

I said during the communication business, what do you mean you don't have a phone in there?

That's your, that's your lifeblood communication

They said we can't call the stores because we can't communicate

They said what hours are they open? I said 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. It's three o'clock in the afternoon

Is there a note on the door? I said no, no notes

And there's nobody inside? I said lock nobody inside

So she said, well hold on, she comes back a few minutes later

We don't stand outside this whole time

So thanks for holding, we're going to email the manager

And find out what's going on me while seven or eight people have pulled up

And they're angry because they drove down there

And there's not an emergency for me, but you know some of these people had stuff to do in there

So I leave, I run another couple of errands

I come back one hour later, the door is still locked, now there's 10 people in the parking lot

And they're angry, one lady is just cursing up a storm

And she drove a long way to get there

And she is really upset

Don't know what happened

I really don't know, I'm going to go back today and find out

But that's weird that in the middle of the day

And usually they have three or four employees in this place

But there was nobody there

My wife said I should call the police, maybe there was something wrong inside the store

I reject Racine County, I have this morning to see if there was a story about it

But no, I just think somebody, either, I don't think they went to lunch or dinner

Because they were gone over an hour

And so, you know, outlawing to take you to eat

So I left, I'll go back today

I don't know what was happening unless somebody had a medical emergency and got sick and just locked the door

But then you put a note on the door real quickly, just say, closed for, you know

Till further notice, you know, got sick or had to go home or something like that

You don't leave people stranded in the parking lot there, wondering if you're going to open

So two guys were sitting there while I wait till they open

I said, I don't think they're opening

I mean, over an hour ago, I was here

And they were still locked up an hour later

So I don't think they're opening

Oh, wait, nine

So it's self

So anyway, that was my two gripes of the day

The base in the car and my cable company was not there yesterday

I don't know where they went

It'd be interesting to find out today

I know I'm going to go in today

I don't know when to think about that

Don't know when to think about that

Do you want two newer months?

Here you go

All right

It was just curious

And I hope everything was okay

You know, my wife got me thinking that maybe somebody was injured inside or something

But the door was locked

The lights were on

All those little things were going in there, you know, their screens and everything

But nobody was there, kind of spooky

All right

People are apparently on the hunt for vintage 1996 calendars online

On eBay, they're selling between $20 and $200

Now, why do you want a 1996 calendar?

It's identical to 2024

And it won't be unusable again until 2052

When the 1996 and 2024 calendars will work again, 2052

What do you need the 1996 calendar?

It's got a 2024 calendar

Why you going to spend $200 for a 1996 calendar?

That doesn't make sense

A couple of Pittsburgh freaked out after the dog ate $4,000 in cash

They just withdrew from the bank

The good news is they got $3,500 of a back

The bad news is how they did it

Now you're probably eating breakfast or wake up so I'm not going to tell you

But you could imagine how they got the money back

A 13 year old in Oklahoma just became the first person to beat Tetris

Remember Tetris?

I haven't played that in years

It became never actually ends

But it can eventually freeze up at a certain point

And he made it to level 152

When he finally did freeze up

Until now only artificial intelligence have been able to do with that kid

He's 13 years old

I remember years and years ago

I had super mario brothers

I think it was super mario brothers

And I got to the highest level and I finished

I was so excited

I started calling people, telling people

And they were hanging up on me

Now here's how I did it

We bought a cheater

It was a...

I didn't get to describe this thing

Instead of putting the game in the slot

You put the cheater in the slot

Then you put the game in on top of the cheater

And you have unlimited lives

They can never get you out

And that's how I did it

And you don't have to go back to the beginning of the game for making a mistake

It's just where you left off

So that's how I beat super mario brothers

This kid did it legitimately

He didn't have to cheat like I did

Alright, if your plans this year

If you made a New Year's resolution to commit a crime

Don't do it in Japan

Almost every case that goes to court in Japan

And it's in a guilty verdict

The country has get this a 99.9% conviction rate

So if you're going to commit a crime

Pick another country

A Burger King employee in Nevada

Name Kevin Ford is in the news once again

After a GoFundMe help him buy his first house

You see a video in viral of him two years ago

When he got a bunch of lame swag

I remember that story

This guy didn't miss a single day of work for 27 years

And they gave him some real junk

Since then the GoFundMe page has raised almost $450,000 to help him retire

He posted a picture of his new home

He just said I know it's not a mansion

But it's mine

Kevin, happy retirement to you

You deserve it

I forgot who was in the bag

But I remember the story Kevin

This guy didn't miss a day of work in 27 years

And they gave him some lame junk over at Burger King

The thank him for his years and years of service

Isn't that terrible?

That's just awful

Because I'm on the air to dance

At 137 cloudy tonight

Highs 37 tomorrow

Highs near 38

Right now, mostly clear 24 degrees

In receipt

All right, the price of postage

Going up 2 cents later this month

39% of people said

Who of the United Postal Service

Raising stamp prices by 2 cents

But get this, what has

How much a stamp cost only 14% knew

Though I knew what a

I you know I didn't know

I buy these forever stamps obviously

And I don't have the postage on there

So I never you never give it thought

Because I buy a lot of them

So when they raise the price

It doesn't affect me for a while

Just you know at 66 cents

I hate to date myself

To put on letters 4 cents

When I was a kid

I used to hate when my grandfather used to come

I went to the movies for a nickel

They gave you a candy bar popcorn

I'll ride home

And they gave you

All this stuff

And when you go to the movies

I started to become my grandfather doing that kind of stuff

But yeah, it's 66 cents

I still think it's a bargain

I have no idea

When I pop a letter in that mailbox

It's the country

In just a couple of days

People say they lose mail all the time

I've never lost anything

Everything's always gotten

I take that back a magazine

Back in last late last year

I didn't get

I call the magazine company

They never did

Service went out the window

Yeah, I just don't know

I think it's a great bargain 66 cents

Here's a letter

66 cents

What a bargain

What a bargain to do that

So yeah, I have no problem

When they're raising the price

And you get the forever stamps

If you buy a lot of them, the price doesn't affect you for a while

So that's good

That was a good idea the forever stamps

I like that

All right

Showbiz news

It's the end of an era

Coming to an end

Because she mispronounced the word

Congenial

They didn't give it to her

Britney Spears foul

She will never ever return

To the music industry again

Despite reports she's working on a new album

This is all true

Isn't that weird

All right, it's a fun fact for you

More than 30 million people in China

Living caves

30 million not all in the same cave

I imagine

It's Adam West and Liam Neeson

We're all offered the role of James Bond

And all of them turned it down

Now maybe Clint Eastwood

Bert Reynolds and Liam Neeson had careers going on

But Adam West

I think this was before Batman

Even Batman

I mean how long did he think that was going to last on TV

He turned down the role of James Bond

I don't think he would have been good

Yeah, I think you have to have a British accent for James Bond

I don't think the

Bert Reynolds could have pulled it off

But they turned it down so we'll never know

When the pandemic first hit

And the parks closed down

A dad and Florida built his kids a full basketball court to play on

Then the Jims closed he built them a gymnasium

Well now he's continuing this

ongoing project building with his latest

A 310-foot roller coaster in the woods behind the house

Wow, what a dad, dad of the year

I make him dad of the century

My dad used to build stuff all the time

Never built me a roller coaster though

He did build a lot of stuff though

Seven out of 10 people who won't pet

Say they let their pets get away with pretty much everything

71% say they're more forgiving of their pets bad habits

Then there's significant others bad habits

My daughter's got a dog

And she never complains about that

That dog can do anything

But if her husband does one thing wrong

I hear about it

But the pet

The pet can get away with anything

It's just the way it is I guess

Researchers at Texas A&M

Are working on a new artificial intelligence program

That could tell when your spouse

Is in a bad mood just by listening to their voice

I don't need to, I could tell my wife's in a bad mood

I don't need anybody to tell me that

I think it's pretty obvious when I'm in a bad mood

All answers are one word

So are we going anywhere?

No

Are we feeling okay?

Yes

Want to watch TV?

No, that's how I know

It's just your one word and one syllable

Here's a fun fact for you

The producers of the movie Gone With The Wind

We'll find $5,000 for using the word damn in the movie

That famous line where Clark Gable leaves the mansion

And says to Scarlet O'Hara turns around and says frankly my dear

I don't give a damn

$5,000 but

Made movie history

That line is one of the most famous lines in movie history

It only cost them $5,000

What a deal

Losing weight can make you look much older

Doctors found that when people lose fat in their face

It deflates their cheeks

Makes their eyes look hollow and sunken

And makes their jowls sag and look heavy

Well, there's an advertisement to lose weight

Okay, four guys and jowls waiting to hear this story

Four guys in China didn't want to pay a $46 fee to bring a box of oranges with them on the plane

So they ate the entire 66-pound box of oranges at the airport

They all wound up with mouth ulcers from the oranges and they say

They will never ever eat oranges again

How many oranges is 66 pounds

It's got to be a lot

Odd but true

The whoopie cushion was invented in the 1920s

At a rubber factory in Toronto, Canada where employees were messing around with scrap rubber

I never know what the next million dollar idea is coming from

A woman in Florida was cleaning out her grandfather's house after he passed away at 98

Found a ten box hidden in the fireplace with $4,000 in it

She says her family knew he hid money in different spots

But didn't think it would be that much

Now they're using metal detectors all over the yard

The search they found a bottle of old coin so far

Why would you hide money at paper money in the fireplace?

Aren't you afraid that my catch fire is a burn-up and you're out $4,000

You wouldn't think you'd hide that kind of money in the fireplace with you

Anyway

Just with those thieves no there's no money hidden in my house

So if you go to my house forget it

There's no money hidden anywhere it's all in the bank

At WRJ and Radio I'm Don Rosen

You're at Civic Media Radio

Home Town Radio

Refreshed

I think a lot of the media outlets are irresponsible

It's all shock value, it's all ratings

You think they could stop putting these experts on the news

With their doomsday scenarios

Of how the terrorists might attack us

Because you get the sense that they're coming up with ideas

That these people haven't thought of themselves

Like you know Wolf very few people know this

But there's actually an incredibly important atomic substation

Located right in O'cala, Florida now

It wouldn't be hard for them to find

I'll show you right here on the map

All that would say

There's a very small, close and charged place

In this exact spot right here

I mean even a firecracker would do it well for a bottle rocket

I mean you could smear an egg McMuffin right in this spot

And they would do it

There's only one security guard there, his name's Bob

And he's a bit of a boozer

So imagine the average of you right now

The heat is on all the street

Inside your head

For every beat

And the beat's alive

Deep inside

The pressure's high

Just to stay alive

There's a heat as long

636 at WR Jam Radio

For the hundred thirty-seven, no accumulation

Cloudy, chances, no, slight chance on Sunday again

Highs near thirty-eight, so no accumulation right now

It's mostly clear 24 degrees

Look cloudy when I came in, they're saying mostly clear

Stuart J. Wattles are news directors in the news center this morning

Gathering news for us, here's some of the stories he's watching

We're seeing county investigators think it's possible there are additional victims in the case involving a 41-year-old woman from Burlington

Carrie Hughes is accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with a person under the age of 13

It's alleged she went since sexual messages and had relations with a minor

Authorities say Hughes would have interactions with their victim in her home

Under the guise of a sleepover with her own child

Several Lake County communities have passed ordinances to impound buses and or fine operators

For unscheduled micron drop-offs

Leaders in Waukegan, North Chicago, and Grace Lake

Are taking action to stop the buses

After the city of Chicago started cracking down on those coming into the country illegally

The Waukegan Orkans and Acts finds the bus companies for unscheduled drop-offs

And grants the government the authority to impound the buses involved

A vending machine with Narcan is now at a Kenosha County community center

Outside the Hope Council on 39th Avenue near 60th Street

You'll see the machine which gives easy access to a possible life-saving tool to combat and overdose

In a recent 12-day stretch, Kenosha County officials reported nine overdoses

The vending machine also has fentanyl test strips which allows illegal drug users to test for the presence of fentanyl

The Racine County executive is praising the county's diversity efforts when it comes to construction of a new youth lock-up

Jonathan Delegrave statement yesterday says since the groundbreaking of the youths

Development and Care Center last summer

Racine County has significantly benefited minority businesses

About 10% of the construction payments to date have been made to companies with minority ownership

The new facility near the airport is expected to be opened this year

The next step for the Kenosha Casino project is with the county board

The Kenosha City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement outlining the terms of the deal with the monomedy tribe

Payouts to local governments will be linked to performance

Items established to provide assurances the county board will have their say in a meeting on January 16

Those of the stories are news director Stuart J. Wattles is keeping an eye on in the news center this morning

And he'll have more news and updates throughout the day all day long at WRJ and radio

Home town radio refreshed

All right, got some cheerful news here

A website posted the odds of dying from various accidents in your lifetime

The odds of dying in a car accident 101 to one an airplane crash 11,756 to one and a lightning strike 138,849 to one

Unlike the odds of that traffic accident 101 to one that sounds almost like a sure thing

Don't like that at all

A 66 year old cafeteria workers stole one and a half million dollars worth of chicken wings

She ordered the wings but didn't take them to the school she was caught because the school doesn't have wings because of the bones

It's unclear what she was actually dealing with all those chicken wings

She's currently being held on a $150,000 bond

Isn't she a big barbecue in the backyard or something

Hmm

If you're stuck in traffic right now listen up a study found it might be making you dumber

Not because you're not because you're listening to WRJ and of course

Research has found the exhaust from cars and big trucks on the road

Could be affecting your brain at least temporarily two hours of sitting in traffic

Could have a noticeable effect on brain power short term at a mic cause ongoing issues if you're exposed to fumes every day

The good news is there's something to do about it

Keep your windows up in traffic and make sure your cabin air filter isn't too old

You know, that's interesting

Why we were driving her car and she opened up the glove compartment and there's a filter in there

An air filter I didn't know about it

I didn't want her fudging around with it while we were driving because we were in the middle of nowhere at the time far from home

And I said well why don't we wait till we get home but we never checked it again

In the glove compartment an air filter you take it out and you're supposed to change it

Who knew they don't tell you that stuff when you buy the car

All right, let's schedule the meeting

Your worst meeting is on Mondays because it's most likely to get cancelled

A lot of federal holidays this year on Mondays

But you'll probably also see some cancellations throughout the year for people's long weekends

So if you can schedule an important meeting I guess Mondays is not the day to do it

A small town hardware store in Kentucky getting national exposure thanks to the owner's weird sense of humor

It's called J Town hardware in the Louisville suburb of Jefferson town

The guy used to work there as a teenager he now owns the place back then

He started putting up silly lines on the sign outside

Like Elvis buys his paint here

And our carpet cleaners remove blood

Now he owns the place and installed a digital side so he can go wild with it

I guess that carpet cleaners removing blood is for all the people who commit murders and say you want to get rid of the blood

We can do it for you

You know I watch enough date lines in 2020s to know you can't get rid of everything

You can't

That's why they solve murders

Because you always make a mistake

One of the biggest mistakes people make is when they're interrogated they keep changing their stories over and over again

That's how they know you're guilty

And also you ever see these people on date line in 2020 and all these true crime shows

When they're interrogated they start crying

But they don't have any tears

Now it is possible to cry without tears I guess but

Mmm, it's a red flag

Let's put it that way they're crying their eyes out

And their eyes aren't red and there are no tears

They're aching it

Yeah the other thing

They leave DNA all over the place

And you know they clean the carpet they buy bleach

The whole house smells like bleach all of a sudden

And you know

Jim Gaffkin did a comedy bit once

He said you're going to hotel

And right in the lobby the smell of bleach gets you

It's either from their pool or they just clean up a murder scene

You know and that's the size of it

Some guy took a picture of seven different pens

PNS pens

And asked which one would you pick

If you can only use one for the rest of your life

It's been viewed millions of times

Through thousands of votes too

We have a lot of time in our hands don't we?

But I'll answer that

Because gel pens I only buy gel pens

I love gel pens

Can't tell you why

But I found something interesting about gel pens

I was watching report on channel 12 news yesterday

And I knew about this because two of our friends were affected by it

Check washing

These low lives

These scum of the earth go into mailboxes

And they steal the mail

They open up everything

They find the ones with checks in it

And they use acetone

To get the ink off the checks

And then they write themselves a check

They deposit and the phony bank account take the cash out

And they got your money

I mean they got they have your money a lot of it

So they broke up the ring

They're like 14 or 15 people they arrested

And they broke up the

The ring they were called scamily

That's what they call themselves

Like scams and family together

So I read and you

Acetone will not take gel pen out of the check

Because gel pen the ink actually penetrates the paper

Where ballpoint pens are on the surface

So they can

Wash the ballpoint pen ink off

But they can't wash gel pen ink off

But still

I don't know how they did it

But they got keys to these mailboxes

That you know put your mail in on the street

So my wife told me about this about a month or so ago

And I got spooked by it

So now I only mail my mail at the post office itself

I go into the post office

Which doesn't guarantee it because they held up a mail truck

And they stole all the mail out of the mail truck

So you know

They caught them

But there's going to be more people to replace them

Guaranteed

I think you know if you're that smart

To figure this stuff out

Why just get a job

I mean if you're that smart someone's going to hire you

You have search in general

Says he thinks

13 is too young to join social media

Even though that's the minimum age for the apps

He said

Kids should wait until they're 16 or 18

Good luck with that parents

That's your kid they can't get on social media

They're 18 years old

Talk about him mutiny

There's a couple of fun facts for you

Oh, we did the fun facts yesterday

Okay, I won't do that now

I don't know what this is still doing here

Oh, I know why

This story

Did you think you and your pet have similar personalities

Over half a pet owners say yes

They do

The most common personality traits people

Are not curious funny goofy annoying and weird

I was going to add some other things to there but I won't

Let's see where we are time wise here

Okay

Oh, I was going to do that story but I don't think I will

A new work term

Rage applying came up

It's been trending online

It's when you're so fed up with your job

You go home and apply for a ton of other jobs

That seemed better

Rage applying

Because you're

Instead of raging

And banging your fist on something you apply for new jobs

Um

Who are some other terms

Copycat layoffs

The idea that layoffs are contagious

When one corporation starts canning people

Other companies decide they should too

Chaotic working

It's also called malicious compliance

It's when you break rules

It works to help out a friend for example

Or up sizing their food order for free

But I have time to tell you this story

I was working in Atlanta at a radio station

At the shift I was doing was till midnight

And one of the engineers was late all the time

He was having home problems

A wife ran away with a truck driver

And left him with like seven kids

Anyway, so he was late

And he was told that if he's late again he's fired

And I said oh brother

So I went by the security desk in the back

Was a huge company

We had radio tv newspapers cable

Everything in the building

Went back and I punched in his time card for him

Which I have no idea why I would do something like that

But I did it because I didn't want to even get fired

With all these kids and yet enough problems

So the security guard comes back

To the studio and says

We're looking for

He said we're looking for him where is he

I said I don't know

Well, we know he's here as time cards punched in

We have to find him right away

And there was a guy with him

I said oh my goodness

That would be a picture of my whole career

I was in my 20s my whole career is over

This is I'm working one of the biggest stations in America

WSB and my career is over

Right here

It turns out it was a repo guy

They were repossessing his car

Because he didn't make the payments on it

And the repo guy showed up to

Repossess his car

And so

That's why they were there

And he said well I know he's here because he punched in

So then he showed up

He just you know me and her down the hall

Came in put his

Bag down

And had a hand over the keys

And I said to him I won't do this ever again

I had to do it I had to go down the air

And my my hands were shaking my voice was quivering

I was so scared

So I said never again

Don't be late again

I don't know how he'd go I got him at home

Seven kids and his wife just hopped in a truck

Where the guy and took off

He was back in 1979 or something

So it happened to him

Oh bad for the guy

That's why I punched his car in

So you should never do that

What's that called when you do that

That's called chaotic working

Militious compliance

Oh my goodness

Shift shock

When you're excited about a new job

But after a few shifts you realize you hate it

It's also called new hires remorts

Any money was a police officer

You know

New York City police officer

His entire family was in the police force

So he went along with it

Out of the game were patrolled on the streets

I think he worked in the office

But he may have been on the streets at one time

New York City cop

And decided to go to music route

And lucky for us he did

He was on

He was on

King and Queens once

When

The two guys on the show

Made a bet

I guess a Vegas type bet or whatever

And they won big money and they didn't want their wives to know about it

So they spent it all

And one of them was to have a private concert in their living room

By any money

And that's the best way to get a concert

You see the life

Take me home tonight

Listen on it

Just like what I said

Be not in the pain

Be not in the pain

Just like what I said

You see the life

Look for a cloudy day with a hundred thirty seven

To add to rain and snow tomorrow

With a high near thirty seven nothing sticking

And cloudy with a slight chance of snow

Highs near 38 on Sunday

Right now it's 24 and mostly clear

Head sports

The Bucks beats in Antonio last night

And the Bucks 125 to Spurs

College Hoops tomorrow

Big weekend here at WRJN

The Brownska at the Badgers

And that will be at noon on WRJN

The Bucks take on the Rockets at 6.30 PM

And then on Sunday

Back when the Bears take on the Packers

Do or Die for the Packers

Let you come to see the life

All right a tick-tocker

Who wants to call customer service a lot

Because their job posted a simple hack

That they'll bypass hold

And get you talking to a human

Are you ready for this?

This is how they claim to do it

When they get to the main menu

This woman hits 0 pound

Three times in a row

Person i just keep saying they weren't operator

No matter what the operator operator

I just keep saying that eventually i'll get to an operator

Thanks a while

When i get there

Ah a woman sold an original iPhone

From 2007

It still has the factory seal on it

Solded at auction

What do you think that a phone would go for

You and i would probably throw it in the trash

She sold it at auction for $63,000

An iPhone from 2007

So she got it as a gift from her friends

But never opened it because she had a phone that she liked

I saw a bag phone

Anybody want to buy it?

Remember the bag phones?

I have one of those

It's not sealed

It's a little beaten up

It's a bag phone

Odd but true

The guy who invented the parachute died testing it

He was a tailor in France

He invented the first parachute in 1912

He died when it didn't quite work right

So then he didn't invent it

If he would have invented the parachute

He would have landed successfully and walked away from it

But it didn't work

So i guess he really didn't invent it

Made a job pretty smart

A pizzeria in Ohio is going viral

Because they have a sign out front saying

Now hiring non-stupid people

Nothing wrong with that sign

Why do performers do the Super Bowl halftime show?

Why do performers do the Super Bowl halftime show?

Rihanna had the largest streaming week of her career

Following her Super Bowl performance

With 166.13 million streams

She also became the seventh artist

In the last 50 years to have five albums

In the top 50 on the Billboard 200 chart

Broken by of course

I think Taylor Swift just broke any record on the Billboard top 200 chart

Do you know they don't pay artists to do the Super Bowl halftime show?

They have to do it free

There are so many perks though when you do it

Because

You know

You make a lot like Brianna

You get so much, you know, publicity

And if you're good on it, you sell a lot of streams

And sell CDs anymore

They sell a lot of stuff

So they do make money off it

Okay, the Florida Senate

Is considering a bill that would make it illegal

To let your dogs stick its head out the window of the car while driving

A bill in the Florida state Senate is supposed to keep pets safe from prevent animal cruelty

The window thing is just one part of it

It will also make decline cats illegal in Florida

They'd bar people from driving with their pets on their lap

And they'd ban the sale of rabbits in the lead up to Easter

Because so many people abandoned them later on

Yeah, decline cats

We didn't do that when we had a cat

Because if the cat got loose, the cat was defenseless

Couldn't defend itself

So we don't, we never

We never did that

If you tried everything else

Try this, scientists in China say

You can lose weight by cutting your food into little pieces

And scattering them across your plate

It's supposed to trick your brain into the thinking

You're eating a bigger portion than you are

My brain's a little smarter than that

I couldn't pull that off

We knew that AI would come here for all our jobs eventually

But didn't think it would happen like this

The Washington Post did a big write-up on how companies are now using AI

To choose who gets laid off

The surface seems like a pretty cold and inhumane way to let people go

But some think it might level the playing field and make sure valuable employees don't get let go

I don't think AI likes me, I wouldn't want that to happen

No

I certainly found most common random acts of kindness we do

To our letting someone go ahead of you in line

Asking a neighbor how they're feeling

Doing a favor for someone while they're out of town

Like watching their pet or signing for a package

Giving up your seat for an elderly or pregnant person

Checking in on a loved one

And the survey else of 23% of people

Have never performed an act of random kindness in their entire life

That seems kind of nasty, doesn't it
