What if the thing you're listening to right now never got interrupted? What if it could play uninterrupted from room to room on sonos? What if you start with two sonos speakers just to see how it feels? What if you really like how it feels and you become a sonos person who can't stop saying to their friends? What if you start with two sonos speakers just to see how it feels? Because it's not magic, but it's not not magic.
You're listening to the Dana and Parks podcast on KMBZ. The steadiness of that admiral at that congressional hearing. What you don't anticipate the island's going to capsize and tip over because of all the new service members that he was talking about, Guam, by the way, and that congressman is still in office. That was like 15 years ago. And that congressman still serves his district. We were talking about coffee at the tail end of last hour. And when you should have your last cup of coffee, if you want to get a good night's rest and it's 8.8 hours prior to going to bed. That's how they figured it out. Here's another coffee story in the stack. One in three Americans, more than 30% say they judge others based on their coffee preferences according to a new study. The poll of US coffee drinkers found that nearly a quarter, by the way, equally have coffee orders they only get in secret due to believing they themselves would be judged.
Oh, yeah. I think we judge people on a lot of things we order and let me give you an example. Have you ever seen a 30s, 40s, something man go up to the bartender with a straight face and order an amaretta sour? I don't go to bars, but there are. Is that a drink you're not supposed to order if you're a man or something? Is that embarrassing? That is a sort of specifically I want to try something when my parents aren't home 17 year old girls drink. Okay. Now I will go up and order a poloma and I've gotten some weird looks. In the summer, I wouldn't look at you weird in the summer with a poloma. What's a poloma? A grapefruit. Oh. Very, very refreshing. Why can't we just call it a grapefruit? I remember when I was working at a bar and restaurant that I hated back in my Laurence days. If any girl came in and said, I'll take an amaretta sour.
I'd be like, no, you're underage. That was just the thing. That was the go to for your 19 years old. You don't have a fake ID. You don't know what to order. You're not drinking a beer or a margarita. I'll take an amaretta sour. I'll be like, no, can't do it. Let me guess you don't have an ID. I didn't last for a long enough time. Was that the dosaumbries job? Yes. Well, dosaumbries doesn't exist anymore anyway. But I found an interesting day at the end of the last hour. Scott asked you what was in your cup and you seemed cautious to share what it was. I did. Because it's candy in a cup. That's easy. So, yes, sort of. Did you think I was... Well, I mean... You're judging yourself, though, by saying it's candy in a cup. If you order, like, I'll just take a coffee, black. That's more of an adult order than can I just put a bunch of whipped cream and chocolate in a cup and call it coffee? Which I really did. I just threw that away and it went cunc into the trash because I drank so little of it because that's the kind of thing to me that sounds really good at the time
and you get about 10 sips in and you're like, we're probably not the best ones. From the text line, orders you should keep secret. Okay. Bounalist wings. Okay. Yeah. What do you want to do? Chicken nuggets? Who are you? That's what that is. And also from the text line, my 40-year-old boyfriend orders Peña Coladas all the time. Mm-hmm. What about, like, pork rinds? Oh, that's so bad for your pride. I know. Like, if you were going to pull those out and eat them, I think you'd do that in secret because you know immediately people are going to be like, what are you doing? Who's that nut snack? Corn nuts. Corn nuts. Whoa. I used to eat those in college like they were going out of style and yet even though I knew what it was doing to my breath, did anybody ever get a kiss? No. A French kiss after downing a bag of corn nuts? Have I? Did you need the extra descriptor on the kiss? We did not. Okay.
Do we, by the way, do we need an arc? Okay. What is going on with the rain? So during the news break with Dan at the top of the hour, I got up because the blinds were pulled down and looked really dark. And so I pulled the blinds up and I turned to Dan and I go holy crap. It is pouring out there. By the way, the PSA that everybody wants us to say now, if your lights are on or if you're windshield wipers are on, your lights have to be on that is state law in both Kansas and Missouri. Okay. I'm a grown man and I love Emirato, Emirato sour. I don't know that I'd order it. I even make them when I go camping. That's the kind of order to me with respect that you write down quietly on a napkin and you just slide it over to the mart. I mean, what orders should you be ashamed of? Like a grown man going in and getting a, you know, French vanilla bean, cap of chain. I don't even know what the coffee orders are. I don't think the baristas judge anybody anymore because they've seen it all, right?
I'd be embarrassed if I ordered a happy meal and I have before because I was a little hungry but not really hungry. Yeah. And I ordered a happy meal. Did you ask for the toy? You get the toy with the meal? You got a kid in the car, sir? No, no. No, he's at home taking this home. Home to my child. Who's 25? Happy meal's a good one. Anything at the grocery store that's embarrassing? Good question. Because I think that, first of all, it's self-check out more times than not these days. But if you're a checker at a grocery store, you've also seen it all. Is there anything more awkward than grabbing the employee at the Walmart to get into the family needs? Yeah. All that stuff's locked up. Really? You want to, like, I'll take that box and they're like, oh, it's going to be stolen items. What is? Family needs? Yeah, that whole aisle. So it's like pregnancy tests, prophylactics. Oh, that stuff. Yeah. A lot of that under lock and key. Okay.
What is embarrassing to book? I would be embarrassed because it's obvious that I don't have kids at home anymore. I look like a man who's got flown and grown. Capri-son? Oh, that's a great one. Got a soccer game this weekend for the grandkids? Okay. One of those things we used to eat when we were kids, they're rubber fruit roll-ups. Fruit roll-ups. Not food. That would be embarrassing. Here's one. Sunny Delight. Any adult that is drinking? Sunny D. Sunny D in their refrigerator. Which, look, I love me a good orange juice and I realize that sugar too. Sunny D is beyond. That's not food. I said to somebody the other day that when I was growing up, we would be in bars, tanners, and whatnot, and the adults would have be having adult beverages, and I would always get a Shirley Temple. And I don't remember who I said it to, but they kind of gave me the dog-confused head tilt.
A boy ordering a Shirley Temple. For the boys, it was called the Roy Rogers. The Roy Rogers. I didn't know I should have been embarrassed to say. I'll take a Shirley Temple, please, as seven-year-old. Who the hell was Roy Rogers? I have no idea. Who was Shirley? Roy Rogers. Roy, Shirley Temple was a child actress. So was he. He was a cowboy. He was? Yes. Oh, yeah. Roy Rogers. Live from 1911 to 1998. Nicknamed the King of Cowboys. Isn't his horse? I'm pretty sure his horse is at the Kansas State, like, historical museum. I'm pretty sure. What was the name of Roy Rogers' horse? I'm looking. I'm looking. I have no idea. He's a country music hall of fame. Oh, you know what I'm talking about. They'll tell us on the text line. From the text line, I'll judge you if you get instant coffee.
Oh, Sanka. Let me see some Sanka. Nobody has ever said that. I can't remember. You would put the grains in water. Do you remember this? And stir it. The horse's name is Trigger. Thank you. I'm pretty sure, and I don't know why I think this, Trigger exists somewhere around here in a museum, like maybe in Lawrence. I don't know. I'll look it up. And also from the text line, if you're over the age of eight and put ketchup on your hot dog, I'm judging. See, I take issue with that. Oh, I like ketchup on a hot dog. I take, you're a weirdo. I do it on the steak, too. On a hot dog, I get relish and ketchup. I cannot do mustard on a hot dog. Here's another one. I don't even know if they make this anymore. Tang. Okay. I do have a confession to make. When I was little, my parents would get, I think it was the knockoff tang. I don't know what they called knockoff tang, but I'm pretty sure we had knockoff tang. I would take spoonfuls of that, you guys.
Spoonfuls of that powder. Put it in a glass, put a little bit of water, stir it around. That was the best sugar rush of a high. And I think you're supposed to put like one teaspoon or something in your drink. I would just go, it was good. I did that with the Country Time lemonade powder. Yeah, yeah. All right. Trigger is on display taxidermy, of course. That would be odd. They're just rotting away. They just keep him there. At the John Wayne and American Experience Museum in Fort Worth. Okay. Comanche, the famous horse from Little Big Horn. That's the one at the Natural History Museum in Lawrence. Oh, yeah. From the text line, thank you. Roy Rogers is just a cherry Coke. No, I wanted a Shirley Temple as a kid. I don't want Coca Cola. I wanted the seven up. Okay. 913-586-779-8. Don't forget tomorrow at 5 o'clock, we will be doing Festivus Friday, the airing of the grievances here on Dana and Parks.
A beautifully designed square space website is the difference between thinking about photography school and selling your portraits online.

A mystery woman found dead in the woods, murdered, but who was she? And how did she die not once, but twice? No one listened to the woman in the woods wherever you get your podcasts. Well, Daniel's right. In the forecast, if we can get through tonight, it gets a lot better as far as the weather. I just saw Neville Miller on Channel 9 from Friday through at least next Saturday.
It is going to be sunny and mild every single day. Not a cloud in the sky, kind of sunny. File this under how the hell does this happen? A woman is suing a hospital in Ohio over a quote, wrong leg amputation. An Ohio couple is suing a hospital and surgical team. After a procedure, they say resulted in the amputation of the wrong leg. Sharon Jax went to Selby General Hospital for what they're calling an elective right leg amputation below the knee. Surgeons instead amputated her left leg. And I'm asking the same question you are elective. How the heck do you elect to have your, it will make sense here. Sharon Jax made the decision to have her right leg amputated below the knee because of cancer in that leg. The lawsuits general allegation section states that before surgery, the correct leg was checked
off and marked. And Mrs. Jax went in to have an elective right leg amputation below the knee because of the cancer she had in her right leg. It was a tough decision. She came out. The left leg had been removed. Now you still have cancer in the right leg that then has to be removed. She's now a double amputee. Her husband has had to quit his job to take care of his wife. He's an army veteran, by the way. I don't know. Selby General Hospital has issued a statement. Calling the incident quote an adverse surgical event. I'm sorry. An adverse surgical event. One play party of one, your table's ready. That's what they're, I want to say an adverse surgical event is like, come up with something
where you could use that verbiage and it would not be completely out of line with what happened. Well, you know, there are prices that they put on limbs and I'm looking up not when it's a leg and you take the wrong one because now essentially you have to take both of them. All right. So here we go in a medical malpractice lawsuit, a leg that is wrongly removed known medically as wrong site surgery. Typically results in a multi million dollar payout usually ranging between three and 10 million dollars. It would have to be, oh, that is not enough. I was worried you were going to say three and 500,000. It, yeah. It goes on to say because removing the healthy leg, this is obvious. Usually means the patient must eventually have the disease leg amputated as well, leaving them with no legs. We get back to the adverse surgical event. Why would anyone write that with a straight face? Why can't when it is so obvious that someone has screwed up so irrevocably and avoidably
like all of those things? Why can't you just say we are horrified? We launched an investigation as soon as this happened. Our proactive review of what took place confirmed this was an avoidable event. Yeah. The reason they're writing it, they know a lawsuit's coming and they don't want to give the plaintiff added material to use against some inquiries. Page 24 of the lawsuit states, a wrongful site amputation is quote, a catastrophic foreseeable and preventable patient safety event. What about the review was proactive? Wouldn't a proactive review have been, hey, is this the right leg? It was a reactive review, you're right. They mark, I mean, they do. Mark, mark, mark, mark. That story said that it was, that story just said it was marked. What I guess, my guess is they marked it on paper, marked it on paper, and then maybe they flipped her over in the operating room.
Oh, no. It's by understanding you're supposed to physically mark the, the body part of the chart. By the way, while the patient is still you to, in fact, I've heard of surgeons or the NSEs, I'll just saying, here's the Sharpie, mark the leg. You mark your leg. Mark the leg we're removing. Mm hmm. And where do you want to write? I would write, take this one, not that one. Well, then you've marked two legs. That's right. Take this one, ding, ding, ding, not that one. I care to guess what an arm is worth if wrongfully removed by a surgeon. Five million. That's actually the, that's, that's the highest. It's lawsuits have resulted in 500,000 to just over five million. Let me ask you this. If they remove an arm and a leg, does that cost an arm and a leg? Get out. Does the case have a leg to stand on? Get out. I'll do the show myself. I am just, I'm dying in here, picturing the doctors looking at Dana's legs. Someone says this one and the other one says not that one. How did they decide? You're right. Actually, that just muddles the water.
We, you're right. You're confusing with position. It's got to be way more clear than that. Just say this one. Leave the, the good leg alone. You don't want to mark anything on the good leg because, because if it's, I saw words, I didn't know what to do. I saw words I started sawing. Good lord. What is a finger worth? Not as much. I bet it's not worth very much at all. What are your guesses? Do you think they're going to settle very quickly or are they going to kick it to trial? Get out. I also think with fingers it, I hate to say this, it matters which one. It matters which one it does. Can I play thumb wars anymore? Can I flip off somebody? Really? I'm serious. We use our fingers for different things. Your pinky finger, by the way, is worst. The least. Would you care to guess? So it's a pretty wide range, but it's less than $4 million. I was going to say, I was going to say like $25,000. $15,000 to $200,000, depending. Okay.
Depending. Like if you're a concert pianist, I need that one. What would be the, well, you wouldn't want your middle finger removed because you used it to. I like that one. It's very important. I used it on the pickleball court last night. You gave somebody the bird on the pickleball court? Yeah. What? Johnny almost hit me. Again? And I go, but like joking, not like it was funny. You had to be there. And you're not. And one of my girlfriends when she lost to her husband said, well, at least I'm not flipping anyone off on the court. And it was not a full on. It was like, it was like that. It was very funny. You don't play on the same team? Last night we were opponents. Yeah. I use my middle finger a lot, but what I do is. Yes, you did. That is a lie. It's a stone cold eye. So interesting days today. By the way, we were talking about coffee today is national coffee day. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. National hair day. What does that mean? It just says highlights hair care, styling products.
And the professional hair care community. Okay. Now there you go. If it's take a plant to your stylist day and say, thank you, I can get behind that. And it's also national pumpkin spice day. Okay. When we get back, interesting bulletin from the FBI. Mm. A firefighter is now on the most wanted list. They thought he was dead. Now they're not so sure. In fact, they think he may have faked his death. Oh. How does one even begin? I could not keep that web of lies straight. Before we do that, Tristan in North Kansas City. Hello. Hi. I wanted to bring a little levity to the situation. I feel bad for this lady who had both her. Oh, God. Yeah. I had a friend. He had to have his leg amputated. And he went for his life consultation and asked the doctor, where were you going to cut? And the doctor marked it.
He then that day, when he got attacked you above the line saying cut here. Ha, ha, ha. Okay. That's funny. Oh, it gets better. So the doctors came in and as they were reeling him out and he woke up, he looked down and the doctors had written over it. Oops. And he got that tattooed on it. Okay. That's really funny. Tristan, thank you for the laugh. Truly. And Ruthie in Kansas City, you get the last word on this. Hello, Ruthie. Okay. And by 20 years ago, I was working in this hospital. I can't say the name or anything. But the young girl went in there for an epit... This... Epindepte me, the doctor gave her a hysterectomy. Those are not the same body parts. I know. I know that they make mistakes all the time. So I'm not going to deny for nothing. Okay. 913-586-7798. We should have taken Ruthie first. And then the tattoo caller. 913-586-7798. Here on Dane & Parks.
A story here real quick from Channel 9. And there's a key word I want you to listen to in this story. It's the word should not must. Should. When the word should be must. Missouri now has new guidelines for how police should use flock cameras and other license plate readers. The state of Missouri has put out new guidelines for how police should use the flock cameras. Is it to stock an X? The Department of Public Safety released the guidance yesterday for law enforcement agencies two weeks after Governor Mike Kehoe ordered the state to put new safeguards around the technology. Maybe it's to stock that one girl you saw at the gym, Dana. According to the Department of Public Safety police, should have a legitimate law enforcement reason to search the cameras. These should keep track of who is accessing the data and most of that information should be deleted after 30 days.
Officers should also independently verify a camera alert before taking action while agencies should audit how the systems are being used at least once a month. The Department recommended. It's recommended. We're encouraging you to do this, but you don't have to. One of Texas, a Lufkin police officer was sentenced to five years in prison yesterday after he pleaded guilty to 100 counts related to flock camera misuse. 33 years old Zachary Anthony Klein pleaded guilty to 100 counts of misuse. The state also agreed not to pursue stalking charges concerning the incident. And Jerry and Dited him in late August. Initial reports indicated he ran searches more than 10,000 times.
You know how this all came out in the wash, by the way. Tell me. Journalists at the USA today contacted the police and said, hmm, we have one officer coming back that has searched these cameras 10,000 times. There were actually more than 25,000 misuses of official information in the case. Obviously, quote, at some point that becomes redundant to charge them all. So here's the way I think about this. The cities and states better start putting up some real safeguards, not recommendations. Or the people are going to protest so much and I don't mean take to the streets with placards and stuff like that. They're going to show up at city council meetings and where else. And they're going to get the flock cameras just completely removed. People are going to start running for the city council in cities across the country on an anti-flock platform.
Prosecutors say Klein used the systems to gather identities. Listen to this. Identities. Home addresses license plate numbers and vehicle registration data for his former girlfriend, her family members and individuals she had dated in the past after their relationship ended. Should there not be some sort of red flag for any officer in a town of I don't care what size. That is running 10,000 checks. Like why did it take the USA today? Who I guarantee you did a freedom of information request. The police department clearly wasn't policing itself. USA today called and said you got one officer looking up 10,000 things. You got a war going on there in your town. What what's going on in that town? And the answer is he was ticked off at an ex-girlfriend. There's no other answer for that. But this is the the idiocy of looking up an ex-girlfriend anything.
What do you think you're going to gain by finding out where she is? Or her mom or her dad or like her family members were caught up in this thing, Scott. Nothing brings a woman back to you. Like letting her know that you've been stalking her everywhere she goes. Maybe I didn't just stalk you 9,000 times. I went for 10. Well, and Scott the joke that I made earlier, that was a real story. There was a police officer who saw a girl at a gym. I know. We talked about it earlier this week or late last. It's crazy. I'd left a note on her car. Remember creep. The police department responded with this equally brazen and ridiculous statement. While one of our officers had a lapse in judgment. Okay. Who do they hire to write these statements? I could do it as a full-time job, Scott. And I would never say after someone stalked their ex-girlfriend 10,000 times and all of her
family members who by the way also did nothing wrong. They're just being stalked and they don't even know it. I would never say that that officer quote had a lapse in judgment. So if I held up a bank, have I engaged in a crime or a lapse in judgment? Was a lapse in judgment? Huh. Absolutely was a lapse in judgment. Are you? It gets worse. I can only imagine. We recognize that this incident does not define the hard work and honor displayed by the men and women who serve our community every day. I'll give you that. Most of the officers are probably just fine. Yep, that's fair. We hope he receives the support he needs during this difficult chapter. What? By support, do you mean removing his flock password? We hope he receives the support he needs. During this difficult chapter and we sincerely hope his future is not solely defined by the circumc- his immediate future for the next five years is going to be defined by wearing orange.
And Scott, I like your key in on the governor's use of the term should. Well, that was the government's. The governor's name did come up because he had issued an executive order that also included a number of recommendations for guardrails. This was the department of public safety, I believe. Whoever used the word should. What happens if they don't? Nothing. These should indicate that there are no restrictions. So these are strictly recommendations to cities and towns and other law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Missouri. There is nothing that has teeth in it in these recommendations. I would ask you to think about your own profession. Doesn't matter who it is. What you do, where you are, doesn't matter. In every profession, you're going to have like, well, outside of Washington, you're going to have like 98% of people that are doing the right thing and they're doing a good job. For the most part, you're going to have about 2% that like dawn down in sales. I mean, let's be honest, he's a little creepy. Like kind of that. Every organization, no matter what
you do, you know, maybe you got a surgeon at your hospital cutting off the wrong leg. There's always one tingling. Okay. This next sentence should scare the hell out of all of us. Between Loughkin PD and the Angelina County Sheriff's Office, they say we have almost 130 sworn officers and deputies. And only one of them was misusing flock. So our law enforcement by and large did exactly what they were supposed to do and that should renew and instill trust in your law enforcement. The comment they're making is basically, we don't need safeguards. This was just one guy and we really are praying for him at this time. The problem is, let's say it's 1% of bad actors in every profession. Where are the guardrails to block the one guy? And a couple cases, let's be honest, it's a kukukachu woman. It has been. There have been a couple of women. You're absolutely right. 1911 director. Where are the safeguards to protect the public from the one bad apple? And you
cannot tell me with a straight face that every single department does not have one bad apple. Every profession has one bad apple. And we had a story, I think it was last week on the program about the flock camera system in Kansas City, Kansas. And also up in, was it, it was in the North planet? Was it Gladstone? I can't remember. Where Houston, Dallas, California, California highway patrol were doing flock searches in the tens of thousands in Wanda County and in the Northland. Why? Are they just throwing out some gigantic net and seeing what comes in? Is it thousands of officers asking about one plate or is it one officer asking about a plate 10,000 times? So they're trying to make the public feel better by saying, we have 130 of it. It was just one. There's always going to be one, right? Even if they look it up one time, you just can't help
yourself. You're home alone on a Saturday night. Maybe your girlfriend lives in another state. flock doesn't even have safeguards for that. The temptation is there. There are no safeguards. You just want us to believe that because the majority of the people are doing the right thing, we shouldn't worry about the one that's stalking his girlfriend. That's insanity. And to what end? To resent her more that she's moved on. And, right? Seriously, are you trying to torture yourself, young man? I mean, what's the point? Okay. She drove down I 35 yesterday. She turned left at 75th Street. What are you going to do with that information? They hope they can figure out where they're going so they can, you know, say they're going to the Starbucks on 95th admission. They can pop over to the Starbucks and be like, oh my god, what are you doing here? I've missed you so much. I wonder where you're skinned. Okay. Wow. That went to a level I did not see coming. How was the sushi three nights ago? How do you know I got sushi? Right. Because I
follow you on flock and I'm crazy. And I'm trying to build up more resentment for you inside me. And it worked like a charm. And what the heck is she wearing on her head on MSNBC? That is a bizarre cowboy hat, young lady. And you just went squirrel and we need to go to Greg. 913-586-7798 here on Dane & Parks.

Sometimes it feels like the news is full of things that have never happened before. And that is not exactly true. In fact, it may have happened this very
week hundreds or thousands of years ago. I'm Sally Helm, host of the podcast History This Week from the History Channel. Trade embargoes? Thomas Jefferson tried them. Rent too high? We've been arguing about that for a while. Each episode is proof. The past isn't that far away. Listen to History This Week available now on Apple Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Story here from NBC News. The FBI is renewing its search for a former Alameda County California firefighter who investigators believe may have faked his own death as he faced federal charges on child sex abuse images. Federal authorities announcing this week that the former firefighter may still be alive, prompting a new public appeal for information to help track him down. A federal grand jury has indicted Charles Harris in March of 2023 on charges of possession of child sex abuse images. Federal authorities say they received tips that he was alleged to have been uploading the material
while at work. Um, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Now more than three years later, the FBI says there is a possibility that his drowning was staged. Quoting yes. How does one stage a drowning? That's a really, really good question. Drowning drown, drowned drowned or you did not drowning drown. Drown. I don't, uh, is quoting here from a legal analyst by the name of Stephen Clark. There may have been tips that came into the FBI of a sighting of Mr. Harris. That is frequently the case. Someone who was wanted to come forward, to law enforcement. Okay. I don't know. Uh, well, the one guy who ended up in Eastern Europe with some woman that he had met online. Yeah. Didn't he try to quote fake his own drowning by using a kayak. Yes. On a lake up in Minnesota or Wisconsin, like flipped it over and ran and
they were like, well, we can't find him. Well, yeah, he's not there. And then he got into Canada and then somehow ended up in Eastern Europe. And he, he was wanted back here for, he was either failure to pay child support or, uh, Alamo, as he was, I can't remember, it wasn't anything horribly serious if I recall. But he wanted people to think I have drowned. Here's my kayak. I don't know. Um, the FTC, uh, Federal Trade Commission has opened a broad probe into the safety of AI systems, including Anthropic and open AI. Uh, the New York Post was first to report this. The probe is looking into allegations of unfair or deceptive acts by AI companies, a potential harm to consumers. No. This is not making me feel good. Uh, the FTC probe comes as AI leaders, issue warnings about the threat of AI and calling for steps to slow it down before it out. It's down before we're all dead. Did you see there was, I think I got this right. Uh, they,
they formed some sort of like safety overview committee or something. One of the members is Newt Gingrich. Now, listen, say what you will. I don't care about his politics at all. I prefer a slightly younger demographic on something like that. Right. Newt, I have not heard that name in probably 20 years. Yep. Um, hang on, here it is. It may not have been AI necessarily. It's something involving the Pentagon. Uh, but Newt Gingrich, by the way, is 83 years old. I would have guessed north of that. Okay. Um, help Pentagon with a warfare initiative. Project Meridian is going to examine future battlefields and military capabilities with findings due in 120 days. Okay. Oh, but they also point out that Elon Musk and another guy, the third guy have extensive Pentagon business, including multi-billion dollar defense contracts.
And Iowa substitute teacher has been fired for pressuring high schoolers to help fund her mission to Ecuador in exchange for extra credit. Uh, oh, this is straight out of the hangover, by the way. Remember the very beginning is like, I need your money for the field trip. Yes. Stephanie Malali, a full-time long-term substitute was canned from her position at Lincoln Community School District in May. Malali is accused of offering her students extra credit points if they donated money to a personal GoFundMe account, which was created to send her and her husband Nick to Ecuador. Yep. According here, from a law judge, Dwayne Golden, who apparently did the investigation, she promised high school students in her class that they would receive extra credit. Oh my gosh. Hey, at least she wasn't hiding it. Like she didn't say I've got some disease or illness and I need it for this. Like, at least she just saying I want to go on vacation and I don't have
the money to pay for it. Malali set a $1,800 target goal on the crowdsourcing page, but received a measly $140 from six donations ranging from $5 to $50. Correct. And lastly, okay. Nerves are known to get the best of some grooms in the minutes prior to taking the plunge, but when one Gentry fell his big day mistake happened, calling his wife to be another woman's name. No. Who was the other woman? Her sister. Oh, my that is awkward and reception footage of the nightmare, amassing more than 2.2 million views features the groom pledging his life and undying love to Emily and not Emma. Okay, but in the same wheelhouse, you know, if he had said like instead of Emma, Rochelle, we got we might have to bring that back tomorrow. I want to hear it. I want to hear him say
then did he go, oh my gosh. I think she probably looked at him with a look that they could kill. Wow. You said you I do to my sister, but all right, we got to run birthday today. If anyone has any reason to object to this union, I'd be like, yep, I'm out. Randy Quaid is 76 today. And baseball or Mark McWire is 63. We got to run bonus hours next on behalf of our producer today. The finest man in the United States. The great Sam Stevie III, my good friend of co-host Dana Wright. My name is Scott Parks.
