Quick recap
The group began by sharing their recent shopping experiences and personal updates before discussing several unusual news stories, including odd landmarks and an AI-powered teddy bear. They explored various slang words and jargon, shared favorite breakfast cereals, and discussed a recipe for Butterfinger Fudge. The conversation ended with Keith addressing the renewal of his JAWS screen reading software Service Maintenance Agreement and the group sharing humorous anecdotes and jokes, including a call for listeners to share their own funny family stories.
Summary
Keith, Jill, and Terry discussed their recent shopping experiences, particularly at men’s clothing stores. Keith shared details about purchasing anniversary suits, while Terry mentioned buying multiple suits, shirts, and ties. They also briefly talked about Jill’s daughter visiting from Kansas and Terry’s recent belt adjustment due to weight loss.
News of the Week
The group discussed several odd news stories, including mysterious ocean bubbles off the California coast caused by fiber optic cable testing, and a 95-year-old Texas bus driver who holds the record for being the world’s oldest bus driver. They also covered the discovery that Chicago’s famous “rat hole” landmark was likely created by a squirrel or muskrat rather than a rat, as determined by researchers who studied the impressions and compared them to local animal measurements. The conversation ended with a brief mention of an AI-powered teddy bear being removed from sale in Singapore after researchers found it could engage in inappropriate sexual conversations.
The unusual news stories continue with a woman with the world’s largest afro, and a record-breaking attempt by David Rush balancing bowling balls on a unicycle.
Jill’s Weird Words
Jill has a short list for the group to discuss slang words and jargon, including “jargoon zirconia” and “rumbustious.” They then reviewed a list of words, including “treacle” and “immutable.”
Terry’s Top 10 List
Terry shared his top 10 favorite breakfast cereals, which included Froot Loops, Lucky Charms, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about adding marshmallows to cereal and a recipe for Butterfinger Fudge.
Anchor Topic
The topic for our anchor segment is all about computers. Keith discussed the renewal of his JAWS screen reading software Service Maintenance Agreement (SMA), which typically costs $200-225 for 3 years of licensing. He learned that if he doesn’t renew before October 31st, the price will increase to $690 per year for a home license, which he found unacceptable. Keith mentioned that while NVDA is a free alternative, it lacks some of JAWS’ shortcut commands that work with Dragon for dictation. The discussion concluded with Keith planning to call JAWS to understand the change in pricing structure before deciding whether to renew his SMA.
Email and Final THOUGHTS
Keith shares emails including a story about finding a dead cat and a humorous email about God’s perspective on humanity.
The final word from our AI companion.
They discussed the importance of communication in relationships and shared light-hearted observations about everyday life. The conversation ended with a call for listeners to share their own funny family stories and information about supporting the show through donations and Audible book affiliate links.
