Happy Monday! We kicked off the week with the biggest local story making headlines across southeast Oklahoma—a black bear climbing a tree in downtown Broken Bow!

We also discussed a naked woman arrested in Mississippi after police discovered an arsenal inside her vehicle, a Kansas City man who somehow ended up trapped inside a portable toilet tank, and an Arizona man arrested after riding naked on top of a moving train in Colorado. Sometimes reality really is stranger than fiction!

They also talked about new research on teen social media bans and whether restricting access really solves the problem or simply pushes young people toward different platforms.

A few lighter stories kept everyone entertained, including a Labrador in Scotland that had to be rescued after accidentally consuming cannabis during a mountain hike and a fascinating scientific explanation for why cannibalism became one of humanity's strongest taboos. Closer to home, Jay highlighted how parts of southeastern Oklahoma have received some of the state's heaviest rainfall this summer, with listeners sharing just how much rain they've seen around their homes.
