Every Friday brings you a new story. Listen to From the Heart with Rachel Braton wherever you get your podcasts. You're listening to The Dana and Parks podcast on KMBZ. So I'm just sitting home, minding my own business this morning, I was working my way through

2:06the paper and watching the news, didn't care of the dog. I get an audio message from Dana that is more giggles than words. Apparently she adventureed over to Sam's Facebook page. And Sam is really into these different ways. Sam, you can explain this better than I can. Fitness and recovery. Thank you. That's what I was looking for. Yeah. And Sam is doing a plunge thing. Ice thing. Yeah, yeah, where you put yourself in a big batch of ice water. Yeah. Apparently it's good for recovery after a really strong workout, but a cold plunge. Yeah, cold plunge. Here is the voicemail that I get from Dana Wright this morning. I'm going to need you to go right now to Sam's Facebook page. He is still trying to get people to sign up to do this ice plunge. If you sign up now, they're offering a discount with the promo code.

3:12Plunge Stevie. If you act now, you can plunge Stevie. I just farted. Sam. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm as of all of the promo code I have ever heard in my entire life plum. Stevie is my favorite by far. In fact dare I say how does one plunge us, well, very carefully, Scott, you don't want to hurt him. No, it's good for you. There's a lot of health benefits here that can be part of the pack. I'm not denying that.

4:12I'll sign up then. That's you, my dad. I think it should be a hashtag too. So, somebody says you sound like a high former smoker. It's swear to you. I was not drinking. Take my school lunch. I was, I, that just struck me so funny. Couldn't stop laughing this morning. And so we isolated the fart and then Dana saying, oh, I just farted. You did that. I didn't do that. Well, of course I did that. I just farted. Were you okay after that fart? Because that sounded like your brother friend. I think maybe I need to hashtag plunge Stevie. I need to take a little cold plunge. That one was a little slug. Yeah, that was. Let's let's hear it. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey, we're trying to determine if this was a clean one or a dirty one. Oh, yeah, that's a dirty. I don't know.

5:13I wouldn't want to do that in public. Were you alone in the car? I was in my room and I was completely alone. Okay. Thank God everybody does, you know. Yeah, it happens. Normally not in a voicemail to colleagues, but I digress. Better than in the studio with them. That's happened many times. And it was worse than that. Stuck. See what other sound bites do we have of these? Oh, no, we're good. No, we're good. My favorite story today. Oh, there's another one. Especially because we have a very light attendance in the building as we speak. Dana, I just ran down to the little boys room. Oh, yeah. Other than the people at the Chiefs Radio Network. We're on an island alone here. There is no one else here. Is it a holiday? No. Yeah. And I'm going to be opening sort of days, sort of, Chiefs Plank. That's not till 715. I know, but I feel like it should be a holiday.

6:13I'm wearing red. I'm ready to go. Let me tell you this. We are on the third floor. We've never made a secret of that. All the sales and executive folk are on the second floor. Yeah. The second floor, I imagine, I didn't go down there, but I would imagine, based on the parking lot right now, is completely empty. Yeah. Can I just address something very quickly regarding the game tonight? Yes. It is incredibly impressive that Patrick Mahomes is stepping back on the field at nine months to the day after his injuries. Oh, yeah. Can we stop reiterating the injuries? I'm not superstitious. I'm just a little stitious, but you're really weird in me out as you keep reminding us what happened. Just say it's awesome, and you can't wait to see him play. Just a little stitious. Okay. I'm with you. Dana, go ahead. Okay. There was just a bill introduced, speaking of people who don't work. There was just a bill introduced in Congress to reduce everyone's work week, wait for it to 32 hours.

7:14Where was this introduced? Congress. Like the US? Two lawmakers have introduced a bill that would reduce the standard work week to 32 hours with no loss in pay or benefits. What if you only work 20? Then you got to start coming in except you. Oh, well, except in that case. And then no. I'm set it on the tee. If you don't want to home right. That's right. The bill very creative is called the quote 32 hour work week act. The proposal was actually first introduced in 2021. It amended the Fair Labor Standards Act under the proposal employees who work more than 32 hours in a work week would be eligible for overtime pay. That's how they're going to hold companies accountable if this passes, which it's unlikely. But if it does, you go over 32 companies got to pay overtime. Listen to this. The standard 40 hour work week was established in law nearly 90 years ago, quoting here

8:18from one of the bill's authors. Since then, cell phones, the internet, now AI have increased worker productivity, but the profits have been largely concentrated at the top by billionaires and corporations. Work has fundamentally changed. It is time that labor standards caught up. I could not agree more. It would really apply to the white collar type of jobs. We don't need to be sitting in a chair for 40 hours to get everything. COVID taught us all that, right? Even before COVID. Who picked 40 out of a hat? Someone just said 90 years ago. What about 40? Because I know people were working 100 hours and dying. You were with the labor unions. In factories. Right. And it was in automotive factories, if I'm not mistaken, where people were just working and working and working. And there was no break. So what happens when you want your goods to show up behind the store to get dropped off so that you can buy them from that store and that trucker hit his 30 second hour?

9:22Well, then you're going to have to wait for your Halloween themed oven mitts another 24 hours. It was a, the 40 hours came from a compromise in a sense where they, because everyone was working 10, 15 hour days and then they broke it up into eight hours segments. Yeah. Eight hours at work, eight hours sleeping, eight hours personal time. They still just picked that number out of a hat is my point. And like for today, it doesn't apply. I really don't believe that it does. Do you really think this bill is going anywhere? Yeah. The answer is no. The bill has been endorsed by numerous groups, including the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations and National Nurses United and United Auto Workers. 32, baby. Come and get that tattooed on your upper arm. Yeah. How much time in an average 40 hour work week do people waste at the water cooler or in meetings that could be an email?

10:23I've seen studies that suggest the average American working a quote, actually working eight hour day really only works between three and four hours. Then we're there already. Why not call it what it is? Depending on what the actual job is. Oh, of course. If you're a surgeon, I'd prefer that you sew him up before you walk out. Well, I just hit my 32 right in certain industries. This is not going to work. The nursing union backing this one blows my mind because you talk about in certain industries as it isn't going to work nursing. Not necessarily. Well, if you actually hired more nurses, then work out just fine. I think there's a path to do it. I think like a lot of things in the United States, quote, it's just always how we've done it is the excuse for everything. Why do we do things like this? Well, it's just always how we've done it. It doesn't mean it's the best way. It doesn't mean it's the only way. What this would bring about is not five, six and three quarters hour days. You would just bring about a four day work week. And you think companies are going to continue paying the same rate?

11:26According to this bill, they would be forced to, but what they'll do is just fire you and hire somebody else at a cheaper rate. That's exactly right. I love the idea. I think it's, I mean, I'm with you Dana. I think it sounds super fun to knock a whole work day off. I just don't think it's logic. Yeah. I mean, coming off the Labor Day weekend last week, we all got everything done. That was awesome. You know, coming in on a Tuesday, man, took me a minute to get used to it that it was in Monday. I would love to work Tuesday through Friday, but that's just not the way it works. Why? Quote, because that's just always the way we've done it. There's absolutely no reason why we do it this way or continue to do it this way. Outside of it's just the way it's always been. For example, in Europe, I don't know if it's still like this, but it used to be Monday and Tuesday, you worked your eight hours. There's a Friday, you worked your eight hours. This is your standard, you know, 40 hour a week job, whatever. On Wednesday's, most shops closed at one o'clock and everybody just went home.

12:30Banks closed at one o'clock. Retail shops would close at one o'clock and everybody would just go home on Wednesday one. I'm down for that. I'm sure you are. Shouldn't start to do. We will follow the bill and let you know what I, it's, I doubt it goes anywhere. We're going to follow it because yeah, it's going to one spot. Why? Why? And by the way, the guy putting it there's working 60 hours a week. And here's the thing you mentioned, you mentioned in reading that story that this was first introduced in 2021. It's five years later. Yeah, right after COVID, they said, look, we don't need to be doing this the same way. And it failed. And you're right. If it was going to happen, wouldn't it happen then? Yes. Those too many jobs that are not your typical eight hour a day job that this may not apply, but just to a small segment of American work. A third of jobs in the United States are not Monday through Friday, nine to five. I do find it interesting that we always point at European nations that like the month

13:34of July, everybody's off work. Or they take that long lunch and then they take a siesta or, yeah, they say everybody's off work. They're literally only referencing white collar people because the guy at the bodega is still working. The guy fixing your car is still working. Public safety is still working. The guy working up trash is still working. Healthcare. The only thing that applies to is people with cushy white collar jobs. 913-586-7798-5867-798. Here on Dane & Parks. It's five o'clock.

Gun South has been a podcast about crime in the American South. But for our new season, we're widening the lens. Also in listen to Gun South season five, available now on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your shows. Story here from CNN.com. Female athletes are reacting with anger to a hyper sexualized, their words, advertising campaign featuring a nude or minimally clad Sydney Swini posing with sports equipment. Is there anyone who has not seen that young woman naked? Raise your hand, oh, wait, no, you can't. Why does everybody hate Sydney Swini? I don't hate her. I just think at some point everyone has seen her naked.

16:38Why does she keep having to be naked? It's pretty obvious why she's famous. I hate to say that. It is. She's a great actor. I'm sure she's very creative. She is leaning into her assets. It is very obvious why she is famous. And she has done everything in her power to capitalize assets every chance she can get. I saw the clickbait click here to see her without any close on and I thought no one's clicking on that. Everyone has seen the goods. The campaign for US sports prediction market Novig is quote, very damaging for female athletes and young girls looking to get into sport according to Australian surfer Felicity Palmentier in an interview with CNN in a series of photos and videos released Wednesday of last week. Swini can be seen naked or scantily clad holding American footballs, a tennis racket or a baseball bat. Novig also posted an ad on its Instagram Reels, which has racked up 37 million views in four days. That's why they did it. It sells. It does sell.

17:40Says one athlete just absolute utter disbelief, incredibly disappointing like how far can you put women sports backwards in the space of a 42 second commercial. It is very damaging, especially for young females getting into sport for females in sport for females in general, just hyper sexualized content. We want to be valued for what we do. This is Palmentier, the surfer, not what we look like. Are there not man, this is very uncomfortable for me to talk about. Are there not a number of female athletes that do the same thing? Okay. I mean, we talk about the gymnast. I have seen her butt more times than I cared account. We talk about the gal from LSU. She had assets, if you will. Yes she did. And she decided as a incredible college athlete to make money off of her butt. Millions of dollars. Millions and millions of dollars off of that derrier.

18:42Colleen, out question. Columbia's sweetheart didn't go viral the first time because of her basketball abilities. So if he's coming him, she went viral because she danced on TikTok. I didn't know that she's outrageously attractive. I've only known her as a basketball and WMBA standout. I did not know that she danced around. I did not know. But here's the deal. Is she a standout or is she more famous? Let's be honest because of how she looks. So if he's coming him is not even a starter. She's incredible. She ever. She has eight points of game. Or because she pointed at an opponent for 22 seconds. That's pretty awesome. Wouldn't stop pointing. I'm like, I love that woman so much. I don't know. Sex always sells. It's always sold in the United States. And I guess Europe too. I'd. Oh, even more so in Europe. We would want more for our young women without question. But you know, don't we do the same thing with men? Not to the extent that we see it with women.

19:43Okay. I mean, Travis Kelsey can catch a pass. He's also easy on the eyes. He is also the face of Tommy Hillfiger and their new campaign. And I believe we are talking about that Zavir Ver. Man bun. Yeah. To which you said, and he's not hard to look at. He is not hard to look at. That was one of the first things you noted about Zavir Ver. Have you listened to the noises some of the Megwilder serving by the way? No, it's gone full like a karate. I'm serious. One of them was going, hey, I'm like, what was that? Who was the woman back in the United States? Monica Salas. Yes, 1000%. For the grunting that you would do on. Yes, because I will grunt from time to time when we're outside playing that sport I'm not supposed to talk about. And my dad would always say, there's her Monica Salas grunt. Pigger ball. I think it's fierce. Have you been banned from talking about pickle ball? No. What sport can you not talk about? The other one. Well grunting and golf is just weird. Ha! No, I don't know.

20:43You're a golf grunter? Off the tee. I've been known to grunt. Yes. Can you give us an example? No, not unless I'm doing it. What pretend you're doing it? Ha! I do it. Ha! What? I do ask getting my friends. They think it's hilarious. Okay. How do we feel about the swimsuit edition or... How far back is that gone? That's a great point. Very long time. DSI swimsuit? Yes. Oh, decades and decades. Or the female rugby player, Alana Mayher, I think is how your pronounce her last name. She did the sports illustrated body edition where you're full on nude. You are celebrating the human form in athletics. Gary Player did it at age 75. She's celebrating the human form. A lot. So, these women has celebrated that human form in film, in television, in advertising. But it's her right to do it. But she's being roundly criticized by other women for being hypersexualized. But is there a difference between being hypersexualized and showing off the human form?

21:49Is she not doing that in these Novig ads? She's showing off her human form, thankfully. I mean... Seriously? 913-913-586-7798. 586-7798. Here on Dana in Parks. Sam, what's going on in the text line? I always love it when we get the accidental texts when they don't realize they're texting a radio text line. And man, this is one for the ages. Okay. I don't really know what it means. What's up? Hi, it's one of Nathan's Confederates. Whatever that means. Do you happen to be Nathan's, I don't even know what that word is, a Lucive Girlfriend? Please respond so I can tell Nathan. Sorry if this is kind of weird. Nathan just sent me your number and I want to see who you are. Oh my. So I replied, hi there.

22:50I am so sorry. I do not know Nathan nor his Confederates. I know his girlfriend so he knew him. And what will you tell Nathan? They're reply, are you a celebrity or something? I said more like or something. But why do you ask? They said he was just being super mysterious about it. Is it all right if I ask who you are? I can tell you who I am if you'd like. No, this is either spam or like a 12 year old that shouldn't be texting. I would not creepily reply. I think the wording is weird. Confusing. Yeah. He was just being super mysterious about it. Is it all right? By the way, misspelled. If I ask who you are, I can tell you who I am if you like. It's at last sentence. That one's weird. I can tell you who I am if you like. Robotish. Yes. I'm going to hit him with a please don't. Have a nice day. Okay. Please don't. We're good. We're good. Just found out from one of my neighbors that we will be picking up our mail from the post office

23:54for the next several months. Why is that? Apparently our communal post or mailbox has been destroyed or broken. Like crashed into with a car or vandalized more like a tractor, not tractor, but a bulldozer. They were putting in a pool two doors down. How does a bulldozer trying to put in a pool two doors down accidentally share the same space with your mailbox? Because the communal mailbox is right in front of their house where they're having the pool installed in the backyard. I will tell you this. If you're ever in the market to buy a house with communal mailboxes, I would not buy the house with the mailbox in the yard. You know, everybody's got it. Everybody has it. Everybody's neighborhood. There's one yard that has the communal mailbox. For me, I don't want to look out my kitchen window 50 times a day to see people in my yard. They drive up on the curb like into the grass. Like I just wouldn't, I would not want to have that much activity in front of my house. But it's just me.

24:54Okay. For the text line, man, this sounds like a humble brag. Well, they're putting in the new community pool and so they knocked down the building. It's not a community pool. They're having a private pool put in their backyard. Got it. You know, that is the one thing. There is no gray area with whether or not you have or want a pool. You either think it's the best thing ever and you're going to spend $70,000, $80,000 to put one in. Or like me, you think there is no way in hell. I don't care what you said to me, but the house has a pool. I'm like, that's just higher insurance than I don't want someone driving in my yard. I would actually not buy a house if it had a pool with that yard. Now, are we in Arizona? Totally different. In Kansas City, you're going to use that for five months. Four, five, yeah. I think that's fair. And pay for it all year long. Yes, I'm going to tell you, we had friends and it was their thing.

25:56We want a pool. I thought, why? Why? It is stunning. They did it. It took a really long time. A lot of people put them in during COVID, right after COVID, right? Okay. Because you can swim. Something you can do. It was jaw dropping expensive. Like mind blowing jaw dropping expensive. Just to build it or to maintain it to put it in. And it's very nice. But it's not gigantic. It's just a normal backyard pool. You know, it's in ground. Yeah, of course. I mean, it's Western Shoney. I mean, like I want to say the number started with a one and had how many digits in it? A lot of digits in it. Like more than five. So it's not like $15,000. No, no, no, no. We're talking concrete in ground. Yes. I know of some people who have spent upwards of 250. Yeah. I think it was around $100,000 and it was probably north of that.

26:59Average ranges between 45 and 100. And you, you, you, you, you, to me when you go to sell it, I don't view that as an asset. I view that as a liability. No, but it does, you would have to admit, if they're selling it in the summer and I'm just thinking like a, a realtor buyer, whatever, it does look luxurious. If you're touring the house and then you look out back and there's this beautiful pool in the backyard, it does look like you have to maintain. Well, I know. I don't know anything. Do I look like I understand what chemistry is? I, there's a water to potted plants. I, I, I killed succulents. You, you can't even do that. And I did it. Like I, it just would not be for me. I don't understand the bacteria and the algae and the chemicals and I did, it just, I look at that and my head goes, like any relaxation I could have floating around in that thing is gone when I have to think about maintaining it. And see, here's what I've noticed about the pools in my neighborhood and not a, a, a lot of people don't have them, but I would say just in, in the area around my home, there's

28:03probably a half dozen or more. Okay. And I never, ever see anyone in their own pool. Have you noticed that? I bet you, Jude, during the 4th of July, Labor Day and Memorial Day weekend. Okay. If I'm out walking Lizzie on a Saturday afternoon and it's 90 degrees outside, I never see anybody by their pool. Ever. I see them cleaning it. I never see them in it. I think it's like, you know, my parents live by the beach, ask them how often they go to the beach. You end up, you're just used to it. It's right there, right? It actually becomes more of an inconvenience. You have the pool and you think to yourself, well, then I got to come in and shower again. What the heck is, what? I smell like chlorine. And here's what would keep me from getting, especially if you have kids. Teenagers. Oh my gosh. If you have teenagers, your house just became everybody's hangout. And what happens if something happens to one of those kids in your pool? And not even your fault. Let's say you're out of town.

29:04You are out of town. No. Oh, hard pass. And see, in our neighborhood, I don't know if it's in the HOA, but in our part of the neighborhood, nobody has a six foot tall fence. All the fences are about three and a half, four feet. I thought you had to have a six foot tall fence with a bright, with a pool. No. I think your insurance would prefer it. They would certainly prefer it. With regard to the communal mailbox, you guys mentioned something that I don't even think happens anymore. The gathering space. Would they even talk to each other if they did happen to bump into one another neighbors that is at the communal mailbox? You'd be like, hey, what's up? Nothing. All right. Grabbing the bills. Yep. I'll get back to that. But before I forget this, my realtor Bridget, who is the best in the business, said, since COVID, in ground pools have become an asset in selling your house. Oh, our, our friends that we have that did it, the waiting list was more than a year.

30:04Just to break ground was more than a year. No, but she's saying it's an asset to sell your house. If you have a pool in the backyard, that is an asset since COVID. Not back to the communal mailbox. I don't even know that it was ever supposed to be or intended to be this like meeting place since nobody ever goes outside anymore. And we all just drive into our garage and the garage goes down and nobody's ever out front. I don't think I've ever bumped into a neighbor at the mailbox in five years there. Do you know what the communal mailbox is for when there's a cat missing? That's where you see the, have you seen my cat sheet? I asked because I recently ramped up how often I'm walking the dog because she was just getting out of control and was bored by the backyard. And so I walk her basically every morning and every night now and granted in my head as I walk past my neighbors, I think to myself, please don't say anything. Please don't say anything. Please don't say anything. But I wave and I say, hey, hello, how you doing? And expect like the pleasantry response of the great Hower you and I don't even get

31:04that. They don't even reply to you. No, and I've noticed like I'll walk past somebody who's not a neighbor. They just live in the neighborhood. So they're also walking their dog. They don't even acknowledge your presence. If I were a predator, you at least need to look at me. So you knew I was coming. Well, I need to turn around and run. I was walking back with Lizzy. This was on walk number two today and there was a gal walking in the opposite direction on the trails behind by the house. She never even looked at me. And I was like, I say hi and Sam people say hi back to me. I might have been creepy staring at her waiting for her to look at me so I could say hello. That's all I wanted to do. Just hi, how are you? She never even looked at me head down and kept moving. It's just it's so weird. Again, in my own head, I'm like, please don't talk to me. But also that I don't want to talk to you. Is weird. I want to get back to that. You don't you say hi to your neighbor. How you doing? But hope they don't reply. You're pissed when they don't say a word. But you're also saying to yourself, don't talk to me. Don't talk to me.

32:05I don't want to talk. You don't want to get caught up in a five minute pleasantry conversation about non-sum. You're not interested. No one is going to do that, Sam. But I also, it's just weird to me the complete lack of acknowledgement if that makes sense. Like there's one woman who I don't even know where she lives. I see her every day when I walk. She was like, hey, how's your morning going? And I'm like, that is how people should act. Say hi and then go about your business. 913-586-779-8-586-779-8 here on Dana and Parks.

That's going to Jim in Bates City. Jim, good afternoon. Hello.

35:06Greetings and salutations all. I want to debunk a few of your comments about swimming pools if I could. Please. I own a pool service business and have owned an in-ground pool for 30 plus years. It's spent wise. It's for our customers with pools between $400, $500 a month. That's for this and chemical. I know Dana pays probably at least that to play rounds of golf during the summer. Yes? No? Did I what during the summer? I'm sorry to say it again. You spend $400 to $500 a month on golf. He says that's what it costs to maintain a pool over the over the over the over the month. Is that I've never known? Is it $400 to $500 a month? Is that about right, Jim? It's service and chemical. And then Scott, you're coming about kids. I loved when all my teenage, when my kids were teenagers. I knew where they were. They were in our backyard. That is a good sign. So is everybody else's teenager? No, I know.

36:06I know. But I knew they were safe because they were there. And if anything a pop got topped, the keys got dropped. That's a great line, Jim. And I hope our other parents steal that. I said in the beginning, I think with a pool, there is no gray area. You either love it and cannot live without it or cannot, cannot understand why anyone would do it. I just, I've never met anyone that's like, I can kind of see, but like, they're, it's black and white. I just don't think that I have the patience that it would require to keep it clean, keep it maintained. You'd have to hire that. That's why it's $400 to $500 a month. Yeah, but he said for chemicals too. And then do you have to put chlorine in your own private pool? Some people have gone to the salt water model. Far better for you. Far better for you. Far better for you. Far better for you. Far better for you. You can float in it, Scott. You just float. Okay. Did you tell me once you can't float? I can't float. You can float. Yes, I cannot.

37:07You cannot. I am far too dense to float. You can't float on your back. I sink immediately. How long? I even do the whole like breath trick and I still sink. Do you, do you, trying to like envision yourself feeling light? Yes. That didn't work. Yes. How long could you go, Sam? If you guys were in the ocean and you had to swim, that's different. No, I'm just telling you how long could you go? How long could I like swim? Yes. Are we swimming or treading water? Yeah. There's a huge difference. Treading water. A very, very, very, very, very long time. Yeah, I could too. Oh, there's no way. Especially if I've been in the state. I've been dead in five minutes. Well, if you knew that if I stopped treading water, I'm dead. Well, at some point exhaustion takes over. Yes. At some point you're going to have to quit. I bring this up because and we're running out of time. So just look at you. When you get home, look up this story. I read it over the weekend in the New York Times. There were two friends that decided, let's go rent jet skis. Neither one had ever been on a jet ski and it was a fly by night company. The guy like handed them a key somewhere in Florida said, this is a bad decision.

38:10Yeah. Yeah. Here you go. Make sure you're back in an hour. Well, they go out on the jet skis and a wave that now they said rogue wave. I'm like, when you're in the ocean, it's really not rogue. It's just that's what the ocean does. It's a wave knocks him off. Then she gets off her jet ski to try to help him. Both of the jet skis float away. They were bobbing up and down in the ocean for 15 hours. And I remember reading this over the weekend and I'm like, I would be gone. I would just be gone. I could not just quit. No, I physically do not think I could tread water. But for 15 hours, there was that one guy who fell off of the cruise ship and I think he traded water for almost 30 hours. And he was hammered when he fell off. Yeah, he was. I mean, I talked about sober up real quick. Yeah, but I mean, wouldn't your natural survival instincts kick in and you would, I think you would start getting delirious because you have to remember like the sun is

39:14beating down. It's thirsty. The last thing you're supposed to drink ocean water, that will make it worse. You've probably got something. He said at one point, something mammalish bumped up against his leg in the water. Like he's like, I don't know what it was. Something gigantic water creature brushed up against me in the water. I'm like, nope, I'm gone. He's probably the only mammal in the water. She's gone. I don't know what it is. If it was a cracking, I don't know. Scott. With nipples. Uh, she ended up swimming, I think two hours to shore because it kept pushing them further and furthered out, right? Sure. She swam for help. Coast Guard found him both survived. The five car brands most likely to go past a quarter million miles. Number five, GMC. Number four, Acura. Number three Honda. Number two Lexus. Would you care to guess number one? Just likely to go over 250,000 miles.

40:14Is it Toyota? It is. Really? Toyota is number one. I quick break for the news. Dan Weinbaum has that coming away in about two minutes. This young lady is Dana Wright. He is Sam Stevie III.
