Another great week on the air because of you! Here’s some of the goodies we touched on.
- So much great music!
- A freediver in Croatia named Vitomir Maricic held his breathe underwater for over 29 minutes to set a Guinness World Record.
- Police in Elgin, Iowa arrested 31-year-old Kalab Barker, apparently he was drunk in a ditch. But he wasn’t actually intoxicated, just pretending. He was charged him with simulated public intoxication. (huh?)
- 1 in 6 Americans prepare their dinner naked. (don’t try this while frying bacon, just sayin’)
- A pair of Colombian parents named their newborn after ChatGPT. The child is officially named Chat Yipiti Bastidas Guerra. (still better than Apple)
- The 209th edition of The Farmers’ Almanac predicts winter 2025-2026 will be “Chill, Snow, Repeat”. (okie dokie)
- Each year in the U.S. approximately 80,000 people are bitten by other humans. (surprisingly they taste like chicken)
Thanks for listening! Have a great weekend and let’s do it again next week!
