- 1:22Speaker 4: Big E today is Chickapee Day, which I actually had
- 1:26Speaker 4: to look up. I'm going, what is Chickapee really known
- 1:28Speaker 4: for other than Westover Air Base?
- 1:30Speaker 2: It's not that big of a thing.
- 1:32Speaker 4: It said it was like the crossroads of New England
- 1:34Speaker 4: because of where all the highways kind of intersect. I mean,
- 1:37Speaker 4: I remember growing up, what I attributed to Chickpea was
- 1:40Speaker 4: the hooky lau. And, oh, they were the first, I think,
- 1:43Speaker 4: in Mass to get a Chick-fil-A.
- 1:44Speaker 2: I forgot the hooky lau.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:46Speaker 3: That was a cool spot. Big E also this week
- 1:50Speaker 3: for music.
- 1:52Speaker 4: If you're doing your annual Gilmore Girls rewatch, pay attention.
- 1:56Speaker 4: On Friday, they've got Twisted Sister and Sebastian Bach. Sebastian
- 2:00Speaker 4: Bach is Gil from Hep Alien in Gilmore Girls. So
- 2:05Speaker 4: if you didn't know, now you know. Today is the
- 2:07Speaker 4: day Duncan is giving away tiny sweaters to celebrate National
- 2:11Speaker 4: Coffee Day.
- 2:11Speaker 3: It's a collab with another infamous New England brand, L.L.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Bean. And to be clear, the sweater goes on your coffee,
- 2:17Speaker 4: but they also have other merch you can buy, like
- 2:19Speaker 4: the classic L.L. Bean tote that's Got Duncan on it
- 2:23Speaker 4: as well.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Sweaters are darling.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't need a sweater for my coffee.
- 2:27Speaker 2: No, me neither.
- 2:28Speaker 1: No, just something else is going to end up being
- 2:31Speaker 1: under my seat. Anyway, so there you go. Headlines have
- 2:35Speaker 1: been hit. Speaking of National Coffee Day, our fascinating facts
- 2:39Speaker 1: are all about coffee, including how coffee was responsible for
- 2:44Speaker 1: the world's first webcam.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Details later.
- 2:48Speaker 1: In 15 minutes, back to music after traffic. It's going
- 2:50Speaker 1: to take all of 30 seconds. Welcome, welcome to Tuesday
- 2:54Speaker 1: in the Country, 92.5 Morning Show. My name is Damon.
- 2:58Speaker 2: That is Amanda Jo over there.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Today's feel-good story is just kind of a weird one,
- 3:03Speaker 1: but it's just kind of cool, and it's short, so
- 3:05Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it. It is official that GrumpyGran1948
- 3:11Speaker 1: has been named the world's oldest female Fortnite streamer.
- 3:16Speaker 2: By the Guinness Book of World Records. She's 78.
- 3:20Speaker 1: She plays several hours a day, and at last count,
- 3:23Speaker 1: she had 26,000 followers, which is just people that watch
- 3:27Speaker 1: her play Fortnite.
- 3:28Speaker 3: You know, I would watch her play.
- 3:31Speaker 2: So would I.
- 3:32Speaker 1: She started in 2017. Her grandson showed her the game,
- 3:37Speaker 1: and she hasn't stopped since. I was watching a little
- 3:39Speaker 1: TV interview with her, and she just said flat out,
- 3:42Speaker 1: it beats the hell out of Sudoku. If you're curious,
- 3:46Speaker 1: by the way, the oldest male Fortnite streamer is Gaming
- 3:50Speaker 1: Grandpa Yang Bingling.
- 3:52Speaker 2: He's 89.
- 3:52Speaker 1: And that's today's feel-good story on the Country 92.5 Morning Show.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Up next, headlines again.
- 4:04Speaker 4: A movie sequel that I'm pretty excited about that just
- 4:07Speaker 4: started filming.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. We'll find out what she's talking about next here
- 4:12Speaker 1: on Country 92.5. News time, 647. We're the morning show
- 4:18Speaker 1: here at Country 92.5. My name is Damon, here with
- 4:21Speaker 1: the news, my partner and friend, Amanda Jo.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Weather today, mostly cloudy with some breaks of sun.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Highs near 70. Oh, some sad.
- 4:30Speaker 4: News that made me feel a little bit like a
- 4:33Speaker 4: piece of my childhood died. TNBC on weekends. As a kid,
- 4:38Speaker 4: what were you watching? Saved by the Bell. Dennis Haskins,
- 4:42Speaker 4: the actor who played Principal Richard Belding, passed away. 75, Chattanooga, Tennessee.
- 4:49Speaker 4: That's all they've really released at this point, but dang. Man,
- 4:53Speaker 4: that was, I just remember, especially in the fall, they
- 4:55Speaker 4: would come out with the new episodes, kind of get
- 4:57Speaker 4: up early, have the breakfast, sit there, watch TNBC, which
- 5:01Speaker 4: had Saved by the Bell, and then maybe go outside
- 5:03Speaker 4: and help my dad rake leaves.
- 5:04Speaker 3: So, fond memories.
- 5:06Speaker 4: A movie sequel to be pumped about, filming for The
- 5:11Speaker 4: Mummy 4 is officially underway, and it's got Brendan Fraser
- 5:16Speaker 4: and Rachel Weisz.
- 5:17Speaker 3: They were snapped shooting scenes yesterday.
- 5:19Speaker 4: Fraser was wearing a On a military base in England
- 5:22Speaker 4: and had all the garb on.
- 5:23Speaker 3: In a silver and red rocket car.
- 5:26Speaker 4: I'm so excited because, look, they tried to do The
- 5:29Speaker 4: Mummy with Tom Cruise a couple years ago.
- 5:31Speaker 2: That was different, though.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Yeah, but no.
- 5:34Speaker 1: They were not trying to make that part of the series.
- 5:36Speaker 1: They were doing that whole Universal Monsters series.
- 5:39Speaker 3: And no, it didn't work.
- 5:40Speaker 2: And it sucked.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Tom, stick to Mission Impossible, all the top guns, excited
- 5:44Speaker 4: for Days of Thunder, the sequel.
- 5:46Speaker 3: But The Mummy, to me, is Brendan Fraser.
- 5:49Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:49Speaker 1: And he's been getting jacked up, you know, because he
- 5:51Speaker 1: did that film called The Whale and kind of let
- 5:54Speaker 1: himself go. And now he's getting back. You know how
- 5:56Speaker 1: long it's been since the first one? Want to guess
- 5:58Speaker 1: how many years?
- 5:59Speaker 3: Well, the first one was 2001, 2001, 25.
- 6:03Speaker 2: 27 years, actually.
- 6:05Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Oh, it came out in the late 90s.
- 6:06Speaker 2: There you go.
- 6:07Speaker 4: Dang.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Well, so this 4th will be out October 2027.
- 6:10Speaker 2: And we will see it. There you go.
- 6:15Speaker 1: That's news around these parts. Not that it matters, but
- 6:19Speaker 1: it'll be there on March 18th, you know, in case
- 6:22Speaker 1: you're getting surgery that day. So here's the question. 14%
- 6:28Speaker 1: of men keep this little secret from their partner.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Why is it?
- 6:36Speaker 1: Now you got to go, oh, geez, there's so many
- 6:39Speaker 1: secrets I keep.
- 6:42Speaker 2: 860-249-9250. Give us a call. Give us the right answer.
- 6:46Speaker 2: You're going to see Corey for free. Sweet deal.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Country 92.5, thanks for starting your day with us.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Who's this?
- 6:56Speaker 3: This is Sarah.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Sarah, let's see if we can start your day with
- 7:00Speaker 1: Corey Kent tickets. 14% of fellas say they keep this
- 7:06Speaker 1: little secret from their partner. For those tickets, what is
- 7:11Speaker 1: this little secret they're keeping?
- 7:15Speaker 2: A secret savings account. You know what?
- 7:18Speaker 1: That is an excellent answer. I wish it was right. Unfortunately,
- 7:22Speaker 1: it is not. Thank you for trying, young lady. And
- 7:26Speaker 1: feel free to give us a call back because Amanda
- 7:28Speaker 1: Jo is going to hit you up with a hint
- 7:30Speaker 1: right now.
- 7:31Speaker 4: Well, I suppose it's okay if you all do it
- 7:33Speaker 4: in the middle of the night because I guess standing
- 7:36Speaker 4: could be a little dangerous if you're still sleepy.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Do you know what she's talking about? Well, then call
- 7:42Speaker 2: us at 860-249-9250.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Just like to throw in the traffic first every now
- 7:49Speaker 1: and then to build the suspense.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Country 92.5, who's this? This is Stephanie. Stephanie, let's get
- 7:56Speaker 2: going here.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Apparently 14% of men keep this little secret from their partner.
- 8:03Speaker 2: We talked to Sarah first. She said... A secret savings account.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Excellent answer. Not right. So here is Amanda Jo's clue.
- 8:12Speaker 4: Well, I suppose it's okay to do it, especially at night,
- 8:16Speaker 4: because I guess standing could be a little dangerous if
- 8:19Speaker 4: you're still sleepy.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Have you figured that clue out?
- 8:21Speaker 3: I think so.
- 8:23Speaker 2: It's sitting while you pee. Country 92.5. Welcome to Tuesday.
- 8:36Speaker 2: And welcome to the Country 92.5 Morning Show.
- 8:39Speaker 1: My name's Damon. That's Amanda Jo over there. Every now
- 8:43Speaker 1: and then I make her play Find the Fake. Pretty simple.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Three weird headlines. She's got to figure out which one
- 8:50Speaker 1: I made up because the other two are absolutely true.
- 8:53Speaker 1: And today it's all about funky foods. So here we go.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Number one.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Kraft releases limited edition mac and cheese cream soda. Number two,
- 9:09Speaker 1: new on the menu for New York Islanders fans, Nerds
- 9:13Speaker 1: gummy cluster brie grilled cheese. Or number three, Texas State
- 9:22Speaker 1: Fairgoers rattlesnake kebabs draw mixed reviews.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Rattlesnake kebabs what i think you made up the rattlesnake kebabs.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Could you even just pretend to think about it before
- 9:34Speaker 1: you blow it.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Out of the water.
- 9:38Speaker 4: Mac and cheese cream soda i saw the other day it's.
- 9:41Speaker 3: In canada dang it the.
- 9:43Speaker 4: The islander islanders nerd gummy breed grilled cheese kebabs was
- 9:46Speaker 4: too complex for you to make up so uh rattlesnake kebabs.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Dang it you did good You did good. Did any
- 9:54Speaker 2: of those sound good to you, by the way?
- 9:56Speaker 4: Um, no.
- 9:57Speaker 2: I mean, the mac and.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Cheese cream soda, that's just weird. You know, obviously it's
- 10:02Speaker 1: the sweet and savory thing, but why would you want
- 10:05Speaker 1: gummy clusters on a delicious grilled cheese?
- 10:09Speaker 3: Yeah, that's strange. That's very strange.
- 10:12Speaker 4: I don't even know who was inspired by that combination.
- 10:15Speaker 4: But they probably do have some sort of rattlesnake kebab
- 10:18Speaker 4: in Texas.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Ah, you're right.
- 10:20Speaker 4: Well.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Good job.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Excellent. Don't worry, though. The kid's joke's coming up at 8.10.
- 10:25Speaker 1: She'll blow that one. And we're glad you're here. Hope
- 10:29Speaker 1: you played along and had some fun here on the

- 11:31Speaker 5: Bean.
- 11:32Speaker 4: And to be clear, the sweater goes on your coffee,
- 11:34Speaker 4: but they also have other merch you can buy, like
- 11:35Speaker 4: the classic L.L.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Bean tote.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Of things I do not need, a sweater for my
- 11:40Speaker 1: coffee would be right at the top.
- 11:42Speaker 3: No, but I could use an L.L.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Bean tote. Yeah, that would be fine. Sweater for coffee?
- 11:48Speaker 2: Not so much.
- 11:49Speaker 1: And there you go. Those are the headlines here on

- 12:03Speaker 5: Four tickets to the Harwinton Fair.
- 12:06Speaker 2: The Harwinton Fair? That's this weekend. Let's get us a joke.
- 12:10Speaker 2: What do you got, Tuck?
- 12:11Speaker 5: What did the kid that refused to take a nap
- 12:14Speaker 5: get charged with?
- 12:16Speaker 2: Holy moly, that's a whole lot of stuff. Say it again, please.
- 12:19Speaker 5: What did the kid that refused to take a nap
- 12:22Speaker 5: get charged with?
- 12:23Speaker 1: Figure that one out, and you're off to the Harwinton Fair.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Ah, but can Amanda Jo figure it out?
- 12:33Speaker 4: Does it have to do with the name of a robbery?
- 12:39Speaker 2: An infraction?
- 12:40Speaker 3: An infraction, yeah.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Yes, it does. That is the punchline.
- 12:46Speaker 3: Refuse to take a nap. So what are you doing
- 12:48Speaker 3: if you refuse?
- 12:52Speaker 2: I thought you'd get this one. But I always think
- 12:55Speaker 2: you're going to get it. And I'm always proven wrong
- 12:58Speaker 2: by your inability to get it. Indecent....
- 13:03Speaker 3: Battery.
- 13:05Speaker 4: Wow.
- 13:07Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 13:07Speaker 2: See, you'll hear it and you'll go, oh, 860-249-9250.

- 13:39Speaker 2: Ever been to the Harwinton Fair before?
- 13:42Speaker 4: I have not.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Well, I got a feeling you're going to be going
- 13:46Speaker 1: this weekend. Because if Amanda Jo can figure out a joke,
- 13:50Speaker 1: certainly you can. Give me the punchline to this joke.
- 13:54Speaker 5: What did the kid that refused to take a nap
- 13:57Speaker 5: get charged with?
- 13:59Speaker 4: It is resisting arrest.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Tessa Grace, I need to know what the kid who
- 14:03Speaker 1: refused to take a nap got charged with.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Resisting arrest.
