Cody and Joe

You're on a diet but you keep seeing Girl Scouts EVERYWHERE and have a hard time saying no. Good cause, Great cookies, so you buy.  But you can't buy from every girl scout.  Tom has an idea on how to stay in budget and let others know you've still supported the cause!  There are ten categories of annoying texters!  Bet you know one....and do you maybe, perhaps fall into one of the categories?!   In today's Good Stuff a story that will make you want to run to Chick-fil-A.  And Tom 's parking delimma....was it his fault or not? (and how to avoid it next time) 

Tom got blindsided by a girl scout (in a good way).  He normally only buys 1 box.  How many boxes do you think he took home and why?   That 10 year aging challenge on facebook, we took to a different level with things that were relevant 10 years ago or that you used to do 10 years ago that are basically nonexistent today.  Did you have an IPod Shuffle?  Flip Video?  Silly Bandz?   Pat has the story of a woman who was just hired by a cosmetic company as a national model and spokesperson and why it's so groundbreaking.  And a guy in Silicon Valley just rented an apartment for his 2 cats (actually his daughter's cats)....really? Listen and you'll see how it turned out 

Great story about being kind and helping not because you expect anything but because it's the right thing to do.  It happened over the weekend in Kansas City and the way the story turns out is truly emotional and touching.  Turns out Cody lost her ATM card.....for 3 days!  Any guess as to where it turned up?  Pat's on a new diet, trying to trim up, and he's finding it 1)successful (so far), and 2) really hard.  Any advice?   And if you have kids you've no doubt had to go to work and ask your coworkers to buy candy or cookie dough or whatever it is your son/daughter is selling for their school fundraiser.  That same thing even happens to country music superstars.  Guess who's peddling his daughter's stuff?  

A story that broke overnight broke our hearts:  the shooting and killing of Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona.  We pay tribute to her and every first responder....God Bless them all!    In a strange twist a kids camp song has actually make it onto Billboar's Top Pop songs list.  With that in mind what's one song that you just can't stand.  We thought if we asked that question we'd get a short list of songs.  NOPE!  Turns out it's a long list  In today's Good Stuff a man drives 2,300 miles one way to help a complete stranger.  And for the first time in 99 year history of the National Football League a woman will be officiating a playoff game this weekend...and wait until you hear about her! 

Could the Federal Government Shut Down mean no wine....or beer?  That's a big maybe and we cover why it could happen.  Dierks Bentley had revealed 2019 tour plans in a very unique way ....on skates.  Dierks is a skater!  His opening act, Jon Pardi, not so much.   The Sacramento Bee gave a nice shout out to Jon for headlining our 20th annual Country In The Park on May 11th.  They also given him credit for donating a portion of ticket sales to the Salvation Army's Camp Fire Relief Efforts.  And if you could a Do Over....one thing in your life you wish you could back up and try again, what is it?  In one of the most honest calls we've ever gotten Wendy from Sacramento emotionally tells us hers.  

Do you know or work with someone who's had a mid-life crisis?  We think Tom may be going through one.  Do It YourSelf Projects....many times overrated.  Both Pat and Tom have had frustrating experiences although Pat's may take the cake.  Cody is an Ikea girl and Pat's son Dimitri has a music request that's just a little humbling for Pat. 

Ever the power go out at the worst moment?  Cody's a big Philadelphia Eagles fan.  She was watching the playoff game yesterday and right before the Bears attempted the last field goal the power went out.  What did she do?  What would you do??  Lose anything in the bad storms this weekend?  Pat lost part of his fence and can't find it!  Jason Michael Carroll mourns a Golf and Guitars loss....and what were the top five selling fast food items in 2018?  How many of them did you eat? 

Heard of the Bird Box Challenge?  Yeah, another internet thing....check that, another dumb internet thing.  Based on the Netflix movie "Bird Box,"  whiich is the now the most watched/streamed cable/netflix movie (don't ask me how), people are videoing themselves trying to do things while blindfolded.  Like driving (told you it was dumb).  We came up with what we think is a better bird box challenge.  Texting while blindfolded and then seeing what your message actually says.  Cody got close, Tom nailed it, and Pat......well, 1 for 2 isn't bad.  Imagine you're playing a slot machine and a big country star surprises you.  That happened in Vegas with some guy named Blake Shelton.  And, have you ever had a questionable Lyft or Uber driver?  For some reason Tom always seems to get them.  And check Rich from Rancho.  His story beats them all. 

A new year means new resolutions:  could you give up facebook for a year for $1,000?  A new study says many people would but our Pat and Tom polll showed the overwhelming answer was NO...by a 2 to 1 margin.  A lot of you chimed in (thank you!), including one lady her in Sacramento has already given up all social media for 100 days.  And get this....she's young.  In today's "Good Stuff," meet a man who wanted so badly to be with his daughter on Christmas that he traveled over 7,500 miles...and wait 'til you hear how he did it!   Carrie Underwood is at the point of her pregnancy that she can no longer ties her own shoes and Tyler Hubbard of FGL goes skiing and it doesn't turn out well!  

Charlres Kelly of Lady Antebellum issued a Christmas Movie Challenge to bandmate Hillary Scott.  She has never seen, "A Christmas Story."  Hard to believe but somehow that one got by her.   IF she watches it all the way through then Charles will donate money to her favorite charity.  Following that lead we issued a Christmas Movie Challenge to each other....3 different movies and we think Pat's getting the worst of it.  Bottom line is it'll mean more money for St Jude (and our annual Country Cares For St Jude Kids Radiothon is tomorrow and Friday!)  Jon Pardi's mom called in and she,is soooo proud of her boy because he's headlinging Country In The Park. How much does it mean to Jon?  Only a mom truly knows and she tell us.
