Speaker 1 (00:20):
Good morning, everyone, Welcome to the show. The weekend is here.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Not quite good, not quite yet.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
There is still much to be done. Don't forget Memorial Day. Okay,
Memorial Days.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, which means summer summer.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Is just the corner. Take a long weekend. But three
day week oil day is three day week day. Let's
not forget. Let's not forget the people who gave the
ultimate sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Showtime, Yes, stamping Memorial Kay Long Weekend, a Memorial summertime
patrol Back Long Weekend, brought to you my hugoes, wine
and spirits, going back to the summer of two thousand
for what was just voted the best one.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
In Wonder of the two thousands so far. This when
I was talking about twenty minutes scaled the songs in
the way National don't Fridays here, the Friday before Memorial
Day weekend or into Memorial Day weekend has been designated.
It's a day to raise awareness of the risks of
getting too much sun do it. I mean, there's not
(01:19):
a lot of good wisdom maybe that comes out of
my mouth, but we and mostly because my wife does this,
we have a bottle of sun.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Spray at the front door.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
So anytime you're saying going outside, do yard work, taking
the dog for a while, doing whatever outside, you remember
it instead of having to think it's in.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
The it's in the cupboard. Next time, I'll get it.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
It's National Road Trip Day today, a Memorial Day weekend,
hit the road. Thirty nine point four million people planning
to travel by car over the long weekend, according to
Trip a A. That's up four percent from last year. Now,
if you're one of them, make sure you have snacks
plenty of patients. If you're heading out today, the best
time to drive is before eleven am, according to analytics.
Of course, around here we don't have the gridlock, traffic
(02:01):
and other bonus of living in North Dakota, Minnesota. If
you're driving back on Monday, as to hit the road
before two pm. More's time to travel Monday between four
and seven o'clock. But again up here we should be okay.
Think about that though, if you're going if the Twin
Cities is part of your deal. But if you're going
to the Twin Cities, the Twin Cities will be emptying
(02:21):
out people there will be going to the lake, So
we should be good.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Americans love our road trips.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
These survey by Ford found seventy five percent of respondents
would rather travel by car than plane, even if it
means a much longer trip. In fact, the average respondent
would rather add up to six and a half hours
of travel time to their trip by driving the deal
with the stress at the airport. Sixty three percent said
they would look forward to a trip more if it
was a road trip. Road trips are fun. Did a
(02:49):
four thousand a mile one last year at the West
Coast Canada and back and Yeah, it was a lot
of driving, a lot of driving, and maybe too much
time packing and unpacking vehicles that hotels, But fantastic trip.
Na'tional cooler Day, don't forget to pack your cooler and
World Turtle Day data raise awareness and protect turtles and
tortoises as well as their habitats, and a special hello,

(03:58):
that's all caps pleasant theme of the weekends that can
be hot. No more rating on the forecast. But I
think the big take is sunshine and light winds. Who
can complain about sunny and seventy That's basically where we're
going to be on either side of seventy sixty eight today,
seventy two, Tomorrow sunshine, seventy four Sunday and Memorial Day
sunshine seventy four. Currently we have forty two degrees downtown
(04:20):
Grand Forks.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
How you read TV, the entertainment world and whatever, here's
what you missed on EXCEL ninety three.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Well, when I saw this story in the headlines, I
definitely thought it was going to be something else. In
this individual's hand, a graduating individual from the University of Buffalo,
New York, cast some chaos when he sprinted across the
stage with his baby son to accept his diploma. Now
(04:54):
the hang up here al Arab talking about why the
police ended up chasing him across the stage. The crowd
loved it.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Though.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
I'd asked that semester if I could walk with my
baby and commencement prep session, and they were like, yeah,
it's okay. No one's gonna tell you no. But they
said it was a safety azard. They don't want the
baby on stage. I won't walk them, and I ran.
That's what I did. You know, I had to. I
promised him, I'm gonna walk with them on the stage
or run with them on the stage. I have nothing
against to BE.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I love you, Be.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I graduated from you, but I'm doing my master's right now.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
To be.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It's a great college.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
It was an inspirational moment until he accidentally spiked the
baby like a football when he crossed the graduation threshold
and grabbed his diploma. So I guess I see why
that didn't happen. That didn't happen. When he collected his diploma,
he pumped his fist in the air and the audience
cheered him on. Both he and the summer dressed and
manching blue camps and gowns. The female comp ended up
(05:49):
walking behind him. I'll apologized at the university and said
he won't be penalized for breaking the They said he
won't be penalized.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
For breaking these safety rules.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
But students sprinted across the stage with a baby to
receive diploma as the police chased him, And no, he
didn't spike it like a football. Once again, Trevor, why
do you have to ruin the good news stories? He slammed,
dunked it because he was on the basketball team.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Went to the hoop and.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
There was no harm to the baby. Let's get into
our question of the day today. Congratulations graduating seniors east

Grilling is trending going into Memorial Day Long Weekend't I mean,
I'll call it day one a summer Memorial Day long weekend.
If you're looking forward to grilling, you're not alone here either.
According to wallethub dot com, fifty eight percent of Americans
playing a barbecue this weekend, and instacart shared some stats
and what We're grilling. They looked at the type of
(11:34):
meat each state bought moral than any other states for
Memorial Day weekend last year, and the most popular options
overall burgers and dogs, but Instacart's list.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Is a little more unique.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Some highlights the entire mid West obsessed with broadwurst. Almost
every state from Ohio to Colorado bought a ton of brods.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Over Memorial Day weekend last year.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Texas, California, and most states out west into the skirt steak,
the really thin steak Texas. You think they'd have the
big juicy steaks, Rib's in Arizona and Idaho, t Bones Nevada, Utah, Wyoming,
New Mexico, and beef Flap in California. Popular choice for baheitas.
The way out West, It's frozen turkey burgers. In Hawaiian
(12:20):
ribs popular across the South, including Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee,
Louisiana and Virginia into pork bus Florida getting fancy with
philet mignon. Kentucky buys a lot of burger patties and
its chicken wings in both Carolinas and Maryland. Most states
in the Northeast putting meat between bread beef patties Pennsylvania,
(12:41):
New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Turkey
burgers in Jersey, Massachusetts and Maine, and the one exceptions
Vermont with.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Country style ribs.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Alaska likes those two three states a serious affection for
chicken burgers. All on the Canadian border, Washington, Montana.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And North Dakota. I didn't realize those are a big
deal here.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
And finally two outliers hot dogs more popular in West
Virginia than anywhere else, and vegetarian sausages big in Oregon,
those hippies. They also look at the most popular sides
in each Each state a mixed bag, but in general
potato salad wins the Midwest, pasta salad, New England and
out West, And finally, Coleslaw in the South, that's my
least favorite. In case you're curious and we're thinking, should
(13:24):
we invite Trevor to a barbecue he doesn't like Coleslaw.
Maybe next year Memorial Day meet Each state loves to grill.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Your map is up?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
That make you hungry to excel netty three dot com
Trivity page Vet.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You didn't know random facts coming at you now Excel
Netty three brought to us.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
By the Blue Moose, sparn Grill, the boom Moos, summ
to forty year rotating tappers and Spinnerskinqua Soo and East
Grand four.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
All right, random facts can't quite shut the brain off yet.
I know you're a long weekend mode too, betch didn't know.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
If you're in a room with seventy people, statistically, there's
a ninety nine point nine percent chance at least two
of them will have the same birthday.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I know, mind blowing.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
If you're in a room with just twenty three people,
there's a fifty percent chance two of them will have
the same birthday. Seems inconceivable and unbelievable, But maybe you
athletes can process that for me. Seventy people, ninety nine
point nine percent chance two of them will have the
same birthday, which are making me crazy thinking about that one.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Letch didn't know.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Boise State University famously had blue turf on the football field,
and they actually trademarked the idea of having non green
artificial turf, So if anyone else in the world wants
to do it, they need to get Boise States permission.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's funny.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Betch didn't know the record for most flowers sold in
the single day.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Maybe it'd be a Mother's day. But if you're thinking that,
you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
August seventeenth, nineteen seventy seven, a day after Elvis died,
most flours sold the single day.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
The record still stands today. The betch, you didn't know.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
The phrase closed but no cigar comes from carnivals.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
In the early nineteen hundreds when they used.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
To give out cigars as prizes for winning games. It'd
be interesting to see when the Grand Forts Fair gets.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Here next month and all the other area of.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Fairs, cool prizes will be.
Speaker 1 (15:36):

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Just still stuffed teddy bears, or do they give out
its eight pens.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
It's been a while since I've checked out the games.
We used to give out cigars close but no cigar.
And finally, bet you didn't know the average person's attention
span for a single screen is forty seven seconds, down
from two and a half minutes in two thousand and four.
In Sadley, I thought it would be less than forty
seven seconds, But now we all know excel many three.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well, hey, hell, good day. Who is this, Laurie. We're

And do we care what others think of us? Not
even Moore? Dare I say, oh, hey about great? Sorry,

Speaker 4 (16:45):
I know how we stressed you look back and think
how silly it all was. Absolutely. If nobody likes me, now,
that's fine too. That's why it give so much stuff away, Laurie.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And I'm okay with that. Well, we all like you,

Speaker 2 (18:15):
It bro, Bro, because they'll feel it.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
This guy was supposed to do drink water. It's live
footage there.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Convicted fellon back behind bars in Florida, and it's all
thanks to the one chip challenge.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
The police report called it the hot chip challenge, but
seemed different. It's when you eat a single tortilla chip
that's crazy spicy, usually covered in California reap or dust
from the Dorito's. They hid the one hot chip and
there are a couple of hot chips and those I
don't think those are on store shelves anymore. It wasn't
like the crazy Spicy liked that the roulette Doritos I
(18:59):
think they were called. But back to my story. Thirty
six year old Darrendikels from Florida out on parole late
last March when he was caught on video drinking a
beer at a bar after attempting the ones chip challenge.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
His parole agreement said he wasn't allowed to have alcohol.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
He's got a long rampsheet with convictions for grant theft, burglary,
credit card fraud, selling drugs. It'sack there how they found
out about the video, but they arrested him Wednesday for
violating the terms of his parole. He tried to plead
his case and said he only took a swig of
someone's corona because he'd just done the one chip challenge
and his mouth was on fire. But he wasn't even
(19:37):
supposed to be at the bar in the first place.
The agreement also said that he couldn't go to bars.
His proloficer said he's risked to himself and others when
he drinks. We all know those people. His parole was
set to expire late twenty twenty six, but now he'll
be spending some or all of that time in a
jail cell. Florida fell in back behind bars after he
did the Ultrarispicey won Chip challenge, drank a because his
(20:00):
mouth was on firing. His parole officer found out the
Pearl agreement said he couldn't drink him. That's why thirty
six year old Darren Dynkles will end up with the
Funny Morning Moron Award, taken down by one chip. Florida
trip twenty five in the lead, of course for twenty
twenty five California second place with six more on award
(20:22):
presentations third place. We've got a tie at four Pennsylvania, Missouri,
and Texas for.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
The weekend to come. I'm gonna get that drinking. Threw
some hot dogs on the grill.
Speaker 1 (20:42):

were importantly and some of you are now. See a penny,
pick it up all day long. You'll have good luck.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Some people didn't think this would really happen when we
heard about it a few months ago, but it looks
like it is about to become factual. The US Treasury
just announced a big change to America's change. They'll officially
stop making new pennies soon. President Trump said in February
he'd ordered the US Mint to stop making them. Every
(24:13):
penny costs about four cents to manufacture, so it's supposed
to save money an estimated fifty six million dollars a
year now. The Treasury said had just placed its final
order of blanks this month, and once those are minted,
they're not making anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
All you penny.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Hoarders something else to hoard worth something one day, maybe
more than a cent.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Last pennies are set to roll off production early next year.
Now it's unwelcome news for penny enthusiasts especially, I mean,
gut punched today. Today happens to be Lucky penny day.
It's always May twenty third. They've been a push to
ditch them for a long time, but not everybody thinks
it's a great idea, probably because nickels aren't cheap either.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Should we just get rid of all change?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
I went on something the other day, and you know
some places they try to get you by adding three
percent if you use your card. So if I paid
in cash, I changed to put in my pocket. I
think I still have sixteen cents in my pocket from
the other day. They got rid of all changes, rounded
it up or down to the nearest dollar.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Maybe we just do that.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Anyway, back to the story, Nichols cost about fourteen cents
to make. We might need more of stores start rounding
up to five cent increments. Canada's gotten rid of the penny.
I want to say this at least five years ago now,
and they have something seventy three cents. You'll pay seventy
five if it's seventy two cents, you'll pay seventy they
round it up or down. No big whoop right now.
(25:39):
None of this means pennies are going anywhere anytime soon.
About one hundred and fourteen billion are in circulation right now,
so I'm sure we'll see them for the rest of
our lifetime. You'll still be able to use them too.
The government makes more each year, or did because so
many pennies drop out of circulation. People toss them and
change jars to leave them in their center council. They're
(25:59):
just throw them out. I want to say, I don't
pick them up because it hurts more when I bend
down and when I stand back up again. It's got
to be at least twenty five cents. Even then, I
think someone else can have that quarter dimes. You pick
those up, you'll have the best luck in the world.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Ask my mom.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
But pennies slash pennies will be minted early next year.
The big loser of all this, of course, wishing Wells
or maybe wishing walls, are the big winner because people
start throwing bigger change.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
And we previously mentioned Wishing While the.

Let's start off a little quiz here momentarily Excel ninety three.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Oh hey, hey, who is this Laane?

of wisdom or a piece of advice to tell your
high school graduating self.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I think it would be none of it matters.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
That.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Everything, None of everything matters.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
None of it matters that they give it a little
bit of time, and all the many different ones. Anyway,
I'm giving you guys props for for saying why stuff
like I was expecting.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
And you fully could go.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Say boys, make them spend money on you, make them
come to you, don't travel to see them because you're
the prize.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
That's a good one, too, Lane. What do you know
about Memorial Day?
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
What do you want to know?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Who We're gonna do it. That's a fact.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Here, I've got facts, some actual factual, some completely made up.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
You can play for I'll do dinner in a movie. Okay,
Blue Moose and Mission Impossible? Etiocho. What do you know
about Memorial Day and number one? Is this actual factual?
Is this a fact? Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. True,
(28:42):
that's a fact.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
It began after the Civil Wars Decoration Day when people
decorated soldiers' graves with flowers.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Good start, Okay, all right?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Number two? Number two. Memorial Day always falls on May
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Does that a fact? No, that is not a fact.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Since nineteen seventy one has been observed on the last
Monday of May.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Not on a fixed state. I think every holiday should
have to land on a Monday. I like that idea.
All right, let's see if you can go three for
three year.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Memorial Day honors all US military veterans, living and dead.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
True, that's not a fact.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Memorial Day specifically honors those who died in military service.
Veterans Day honors all who serve. It's okay, I know
we're learning. It's not the weekend. Yet we can still learn.
You have two more chances again, one right. Congress passed
along requiring a National Moment of Remembrance on Memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
That's a fact.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
In two thousand, Congress established the National Moment of Remembrance
at three pm Local time. Wayne, I've got a Blomo's
gift card for you, and I'm sending you a mission impossible.
Eight the old show at River Cinema. Happy Memorial Day,

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Ex L three tons for one more thing on Excel
ninety three, one more time, one more.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
So.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
If the only thing you're remembering a Memorial Day is
to go back for the third honk Dog, you're You're
doing it wrong, guys, and you're not the only one either.
According to a new poll, half of Americans think Memorial
Day has lost its original meaning. Fifty two percent think
that's true, and they might be right. They might be
right here. Forty percent say remembering America's fallen soldiers is
(30:38):
not the first thing they associate with Memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Sixty percent say it's still is. But age matters.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Just forty eight percent of gen ze Er said yes,
compared to seventy six percent of baby boomers. Now, it's
obviously okay to also associated with barbecue summer in the
nice three day weekend we've got coming up, just make
sure you take time to honor our fallen soldiers.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Here's a fact I'm going to hit you with here today.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Nearly one point two million men and women have given
their lives over the past two hundred and fifty years
to put us in a place where we can kick back,
relax and enjoy that third hot dog, maybe that third
adult beverage. Maybe fifty two percent of Americans that believe
Memorial Days lost its original meeting sixty to sixty percent
(31:24):
they're remembering America's fallen troops is the first thing they
associated with now, including forty eight percent of gen z Here.
So let's do it all, but let's take some time
to remember for sure. There I end this with a capeche.
I think I do capiche well, speaking of ants, it
is the end of giving away the money. Today is
(31:44):

There is still much to be done. Don't forget Memorial Day. Okay,

Speaker 2 (00:30):
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, which means summer summer.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Is just the corner. Take a long weekend. But three

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Showtime, Yes, stamping Memorial Kay Long Weekend, a Memorial summertime
patrol Back Long Weekend, brought to you my hugoes, wine
and spirits, going back to the summer of two thousand
for what was just voted the best one.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
In Wonder of the two thousands so far. This when
I was talking about twenty minutes scaled the songs in
the way National don't Fridays here, the Friday before Memorial
Day weekend or into Memorial Day weekend has been designated.
It's a day to raise awareness of the risks of
getting too much sun do it. I mean, there's not
(01:19):
a lot of good wisdom maybe that comes out of
my mouth, but we and mostly because my wife does this,
we have a bottle of sun.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Spray at the front door.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
So anytime you're saying going outside, do yard work, taking
the dog for a while, doing whatever outside, you remember
it instead of having to think it's in.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
The it's in the cupboard. Next time, I'll get it.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
It's National Road Trip Day today, a Memorial Day weekend,
hit the road. Thirty nine point four million people planning
to travel by car over the long weekend, according to
Trip a A. That's up four percent from last year. Now,
if you're one of them, make sure you have snacks
plenty of patients. If you're heading out today, the best
time to drive is before eleven am, according to analytics.
Of course, around here we don't have the gridlock, traffic
(02:01):
and other bonus of living in North Dakota, Minnesota. If
you're driving back on Monday, as to hit the road
before two pm. More's time to travel Monday between four
and seven o'clock. But again up here we should be okay.
Think about that though, if you're going if the Twin
Cities is part of your deal. But if you're going
to the Twin Cities, the Twin Cities will be emptying
(02:21):
out people there will be going to the lake, So
we should be good.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Americans love our road trips.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
These survey by Ford found seventy five percent of respondents
would rather travel by car than plane, even if it
means a much longer trip. In fact, the average respondent
would rather add up to six and a half hours
of travel time to their trip by driving the deal
with the stress at the airport. Sixty three percent said
they would look forward to a trip more if it
was a road trip. Road trips are fun. Did a
(02:49):
four thousand a mile one last year at the West
Coast Canada and back and Yeah, it was a lot
of driving, a lot of driving, and maybe too much
time packing and unpacking vehicles that hotels, But fantastic trip.

going to be on either side of seventy sixty eight today,
seventy two, Tomorrow sunshine, seventy four Sunday and Memorial Day
sunshine seventy four. Currently we have forty two degrees downtown

Grand Forks.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
How you read TV, the entertainment world and whatever, here's
what you missed on EXCEL ninety three.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Well, when I saw this story in the headlines, I
definitely thought it was going to be something else. In
this individual's hand, a graduating individual from the University of Buffalo,
New York, cast some chaos when he sprinted across the
stage with his baby son to accept his diploma. Now
(04:54):
the hang up here al Arab talking about why the
police ended up chasing him across the stage. The crowd
loved it.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Though.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
I'd asked that semester if I could walk with my
baby and commencement prep session, and they were like, yeah,
it's okay. No one's gonna tell you no. But they
said it was a safety azard. They don't want the
baby on stage. I won't walk them, and I ran.
That's what I did. You know, I had to. I
promised him, I'm gonna walk with them on the stage
or run with them on the stage. I have nothing
against to BE.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I love you, Be.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I graduated from you, but I'm doing my master's right now.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
To be.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It's a great college.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
It was an inspirational moment until he accidentally spiked the
baby like a football when he crossed the graduation threshold
and grabbed his diploma. So I guess I see why
that didn't happen. That didn't happen. When he collected his diploma,
he pumped his fist in the air and the audience
cheered him on. Both he and the summer dressed and
manching blue camps and gowns. The female comp ended up
(05:49):
walking behind him. I'll apologized at the university and said
he won't be penalized for breaking the They said he
won't be penalized.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
For breaking these safety rules.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
But students sprinted across the stage with a baby to
receive diploma as the police chased him, And no, he
didn't spike it like a football. Once again, Trevor, why
do you have to ruin the good news stories? He slammed,
dunked it because he was on the basketball team.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Went to the hoop and.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
There was no harm to the baby. Let's get into
our question of the day today. Congratulations graduating seniors east

I'll call it day one a summer Memorial Day long weekend.
If you're looking forward to grilling, you're not alone here either.
According to wallethub dot com, fifty eight percent of Americans
playing a barbecue this weekend, and instacart shared some stats
and what We're grilling. They looked at the type of
(11:34):
meat each state bought moral than any other states for
Memorial Day weekend last year, and the most popular options
overall burgers and dogs, but Instacart's list.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Is a little more unique.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Some highlights the entire mid West obsessed with broadwurst. Almost
every state from Ohio to Colorado bought a ton of brods.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Over Memorial Day weekend last year.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Texas, California, and most states out west into the skirt steak,
the really thin steak Texas. You think they'd have the
big juicy steaks, Rib's in Arizona and Idaho, t Bones Nevada, Utah, Wyoming,
New Mexico, and beef Flap in California. Popular choice for baheitas.
The way out West, It's frozen turkey burgers. In Hawaiian
(12:20):
ribs popular across the South, including Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee,
Louisiana and Virginia into pork bus Florida getting fancy with
philet mignon. Kentucky buys a lot of burger patties and
its chicken wings in both Carolinas and Maryland. Most states
in the Northeast putting meat between bread beef patties Pennsylvania,
(12:41):
New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Turkey
burgers in Jersey, Massachusetts and Maine, and the one exceptions
Vermont with.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Country style ribs.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Alaska likes those two three states a serious affection for
chicken burgers. All on the Canadian border, Washington, Montana.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And North Dakota. I didn't realize those are a big
deal here.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
And finally two outliers hot dogs more popular in West
Virginia than anywhere else, and vegetarian sausages big in Oregon,
those hippies. They also look at the most popular sides
in each Each state a mixed bag, but in general
potato salad wins the Midwest, pasta salad, New England and
out West, And finally, Coleslaw in the South, that's my
least favorite. In case you're curious and we're thinking, should
(13:24):
we invite Trevor to a barbecue he doesn't like Coleslaw.
Maybe next year Memorial Day meet Each state loves to grill.

there's a fifty percent chance two of them will have

athletes can process that for me. Seventy people, ninety nine

The phrase closed but no cigar comes from carnivals.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
In the early nineteen hundreds when they used.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
To give out cigars as prizes for winning games. It'd
be interesting to see when the Grand Forts Fair gets.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Just still stuffed teddy bears, or do they give out
its eight pens.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
It's been a while since I've checked out the games.
We used to give out cigars close but no cigar.
And finally, bet you didn't know the average person's attention
span for a single screen is forty seven seconds, down
from two and a half minutes in two thousand and four.
In Sadley, I thought it would be less than forty
seven seconds, But now we all know excel many three.

And do we care what others think of us? Not
even Moore? Dare I say, oh, hey about great? Sorry,

oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It bro, Bro, because they'll feel it.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
This guy was supposed to do drink water. It's live
footage there.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Convicted fellon back behind bars in Florida, and it's all
thanks to the one chip challenge.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
The police report called it the hot chip challenge, but
seemed different. It's when you eat a single tortilla chip
that's crazy spicy, usually covered in California reap or dust
from the Dorito's. They hid the one hot chip and
there are a couple of hot chips and those I
don't think those are on store shelves anymore. It wasn't
like the crazy Spicy liked that the roulette Doritos I
(18:59):
think they were called. But back to my story. Thirty
six year old Darrendikels from Florida out on parole late
last March when he was caught on video drinking a
beer at a bar after attempting the ones chip challenge.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
His parole agreement said he wasn't allowed to have alcohol.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
He's got a long rampsheet with convictions for grant theft, burglary,
credit card fraud, selling drugs. It'sack there how they found
out about the video, but they arrested him Wednesday for
violating the terms of his parole. He tried to plead
his case and said he only took a swig of
someone's corona because he'd just done the one chip challenge
and his mouth was on fire. But he wasn't even
(19:37):
supposed to be at the bar in the first place.
The agreement also said that he couldn't go to bars.
His proloficer said he's risked to himself and others when
he drinks. We all know those people. His parole was
set to expire late twenty twenty six, but now he'll
be spending some or all of that time in a
jail cell. Florida fell in back behind bars after he
did the Ultrarispicey won Chip challenge, drank a because his
(20:00):
mouth was on firing. His parole officer found out the
Pearl agreement said he couldn't drink him. That's why thirty
six year old Darren Dynkles will end up with the
Funny Morning Moron Award, taken down by one chip. Florida
trip twenty five in the lead, of course for twenty
twenty five California second place with six more on award
(20:22):
presentations third place. We've got a tie at four Pennsylvania, Missouri,
and Texas for.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
The weekend to come. I'm gonna get that drinking. Threw
some hot dogs on the grill.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I'm gonna eat until i'm myself here. We know the Moorid.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
I'll take on my shirt scaling neighbors who wait, we
know the Moorid. Now, Good morning, everyone, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
The weekend is here.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Not quite good, not quite yet. There is still much
to be done. Don't forget Memorial Day.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Okay, Memorial Days this weekend, Memorial Day weekend, which means summer.
Speaker 1 (21:17):

four sun, little to no wind. And that's kind of
where we're going to be all weekend long here, I
shouldn't say kinda.

Congratulations Area graduates. I want a piece of advice, piece
of wisdom, and tell your high school graduating self if
you could go back in time. Then he says, you
(22:24):
can't do anything to make the people who loved and
supported you. I love you disappoint Yes, I'm love No,
that's a fact. That's the sort of thing I'm looking
for here today.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Keep sharing.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Give me a piece of wisdom, advice you would tell
your just fresh out of high school graduating self. My
question of the day today, we are going to focus
on Memorial Day about half an hour to do a
little that's a fact. Memorial Day edition. Have we forgotten
(23:00):
Memorial Days about? How many of us will believe.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We've forgotten what Memorial Days really about. So we're gonna
talk about that together. Maybe I get you.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
I've got a bluemoose gift guard land around here too.
We can partner that out. But passes to go see
Mission Impossible eight Tiocho of River Cinema.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Some other gift cards.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Last day were giving away the spring cleaning gift guards
from the last two weeks. Here, maybe I hook you
up Buffalo wild Backs, Deek's Pizza, Northern Interaction Park Cheers
your own Adventure winning.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But we're gonna we're gonna learn about Memorial Day together.
What does it really mean? Half an hour from now?
Right now, some of you are there, some of you
were importantly and some of you are now. See a penny,
pick it up all day long. You'll have good luck.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Some people didn't think this would really happen when we
heard about it a few months ago, but it looks
like it is about to become factual. The US Treasury
just announced a big change to America's change. They'll officially
stop making new pennies soon. President Trump said in February
he'd ordered the US Mint to stop making them. Every
(24:13):
penny costs about four cents to manufacture, so it's supposed
to save money an estimated fifty six million dollars a
year now. The Treasury said had just placed its final
order of blanks this month, and once those are minted,
they're not making anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
All you penny.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Hoarders something else to hoard worth something one day, maybe
more than a cent.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Last pennies are set to roll off production early next year.
Now it's unwelcome news for penny enthusiasts especially, I mean,
gut punched today. Today happens to be Lucky penny day.
It's always May twenty third. They've been a push to
ditch them for a long time, but not everybody thinks
it's a great idea, probably because nickels aren't cheap either.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Should we just get rid of all change?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
I went on something the other day, and you know
some places they try to get you by adding three
percent if you use your card. So if I paid
in cash, I changed to put in my pocket. I
think I still have sixteen cents in my pocket from
the other day. They got rid of all changes, rounded
it up or down to the nearest dollar.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Maybe we just do that.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Anyway, back to the story, Nichols cost about fourteen cents
to make. We might need more of stores start rounding
up to five cent increments. Canada's gotten rid of the penny.
I want to say this at least five years ago now,
and they have something seventy three cents. You'll pay seventy
five if it's seventy two cents, you'll pay seventy they
round it up or down. No big whoop right now.
(25:39):
None of this means pennies are going anywhere anytime soon.
About one hundred and fourteen billion are in circulation right now,
so I'm sure we'll see them for the rest of
our lifetime. You'll still be able to use them too.
The government makes more each year, or did because so
many pennies drop out of circulation. People toss them and
change jars to leave them in their center council. They're
(25:59):
just throw them out. I want to say, I don't
pick them up because it hurts more when I bend
down and when I stand back up again. It's got
to be at least twenty five cents. Even then, I
think someone else can have that quarter dimes. You pick
those up, you'll have the best luck in the world.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Ask my mom.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
But pennies slash pennies will be minted early next year.
The big loser of all this, of course, wishing Wells
or maybe wishing walls, are the big winner because people
start throwing bigger change.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
And we previously mentioned Wishing While the.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Biggest selling album all of the nineties please hammer don't
hurt them.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Of course it helps. It came out in nineteen ninety
and had a whole decade to sell twenty four million copies.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
You can't touch this summer of nineteen ninety our Memorial
summertime throwback a long week and continues.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Do we know enough about Memorial Day? Let's get into
that next end.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Let's start off a little quiz here momentarily Excel ninety three.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Oh hey, hey, who is this Laane?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Yep?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
If you could go back to when you graduated high school,
we're going back in time today. Give me a piece
of wisdom or a piece of advice to tell your
high school graduating self.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I think it would be none of it matters.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
That.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Everything, None of everything matters.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
None of it matters that they give it a little
bit of time, and all the many different ones. Anyway,
I'm giving you guys props for for saying why stuff
like I was expecting.
Speaker 1 (27:35):

the prize.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
That's a good one, too, Lane. What do you know

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
What do you want to know?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
You can play for I'll do dinner in a movie. Okay,
Blue Moose and Mission Impossible? Etiocho. What do you know
about Memorial Day and number one? Is this actual factual?
Is this a fact? Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. True,
(28:42):
that's a fact.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
It began after the Civil Wars Decoration Day when people
decorated soldiers' graves with flowers.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Good start, Okay, all right?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Number two? Number two. Memorial Day always falls on May
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Does that a fact? No, that is not a fact.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Since nineteen seventy one has been observed on the last
Monday of May.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Not on a fixed state. I think every holiday should
have to land on a Monday. I like that idea.
All right, let's see if you can go three for
three year.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Memorial Day honors all US military veterans, living and dead.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
True, that's not a fact.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Memorial Day specifically honors those who died in military service.
Veterans Day honors all who serve. It's okay, I know
we're learning. It's not the weekend. Yet we can still learn.
You have two more chances again, one right. Congress passed
along requiring a National Moment of Remembrance on Memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
That's a fact.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
In two thousand, Congress established the National Moment of Remembrance
at three pm Local time. Wayne, I've got a Blomo's
gift card for you, and I'm sending you a mission impossible.
Eight the old show at River Cinema. Happy Memorial Day,
long weekend? And what station has more winners guaranteed?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Ex L three tons for one more thing on Excel
ninety three, one more time, one more.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
So.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
If the only thing you're remembering a Memorial Day is
to go back for the third honk Dog, you're You're
doing it wrong, guys, and you're not the only one either.
According to a new poll, half of Americans think Memorial
Day has lost its original meaning. Fifty two percent think
that's true, and they might be right. They might be
right here. Forty percent say remembering America's fallen soldiers is
(30:38):
not the first thing they associate with Memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Sixty percent say it's still is. But age matters.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Just forty eight percent of gen ze Er said yes,
compared to seventy six percent of baby boomers. Now, it's
obviously okay to also associated with barbecue summer in the
nice three day weekend we've got coming up, just make
sure you take time to honor our fallen soldiers.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Here's a fact I'm going to hit you with here today.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Nearly one point two million men and women have given
their lives over the past two hundred and fifty years
to put us in a place where we can kick back,
relax and enjoy that third hot dog, maybe that third
adult beverage. Maybe fifty two percent of Americans that believe
Memorial Days lost its original meeting sixty to sixty percent
(31:24):
they're remembering America's fallen troops is the first thing they
associated with now, including forty eight percent of gen z Here.
So let's do it all, but let's take some time
to remember for sure. There I end this with a capeche.
I think I do capiche well, speaking of ants, it
is the end of giving away the money. Today is
(31:44):
our last day. Nine times a day, top of the hour.
Starting in ten minutes from now, you'll have a shot
at one thousand dollars pay a bills. I don't care
what you do with your new found front money brought
