The first full week of the new year has been busy. Here’s some of what happened on the morning show.
- A lot of great music from the 80’s, 90’s and more.
- Survey shows that half of adults carry a spare pair of underwear with them, “just in case”.
- A guy attempting to rob a bank failed when the teller wasn’t able to read his “this is a robbery” note. He left with nothing but was arrested a short time later.
- We found out what Glickles were. They’re pickles with edible glitter on them.
- 1 in 6 smartphones have fecal matter on them, yep that’s gross.
- By January 14th a third of people who made a New Year’s resolution will have given up on it.
- Babies born this year are the first to be known as the “Beta Generation”
Thanks again for letting me be part of your morning, have a great weekend and let’s do it again next week!
