That was a fun week!

It was fun and a big thanks to yo for listening! Here’s a little of what we did on the show.

  1. NASA found another fuel leak in their Artemis 2 rocket. They’ll wait until the first of April to try to send four astronauts into space for a spin around the moon. (should we really send people into space on April fools day?)
  2. A ‘travel influencer’ on TikTok admitted to putting her underwear in the filter chamber of her hotel in-room coffee maker to “steam them clean.”. (I speak for all of humanity, that is gross!)
  3. Canada’s ‘Oshawa Generals’ of the Ontario Hockey League apologized for sending an email to season ticket holders encouraging them to take a pregame shower or bath. The team says they’d gotten complaints about some fans smelling like cat pee and bad body odor. Fans were outraged by the email. (how would you enforce that, have a designated “sniffer” at the gates? That job would stink)
  4. Check your drawers, there’s $24 billion in unredeemed gift cards out in the world. A survey found that the average adult has $167 in unused gift cards and store credit.
  5. In Japan, people are now ditching their yoga mats and meditating inside coffins. 13 bucks gets you half an hour in a wooden box. (NOPE!!)
  6. A 12 year old boy in North Carolina missed his school bus and didn’t want to miss school. Soooo, he jumped in his parents suv and drove himself to school. He almost made it but was stopped by police a block away. Police took him to school but they want to talk to his parents. Actually, police said his driving was fine but the suv had FAKE license plates. His parents have some explaining to do.

Thanks for listening, have a great weekend and we’ll talk again in March!
