In this week’s Big Up, Let Down segment, we’ve got some real talk and wild stories. First, an unsung hero in Boulder, Colorado, swapped out typical traffic signs for some blunt advice, like one reminding drivers to “Get Off Your Damn Phone” and another that says, “Don’t Kill Any Kids Today.” Then, the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Explorer of the Seas got a little too adventurous while sailing from Barcelona to Miami. After hitting a sudden storm off Tenerife, the ship tilted 14 degrees, sending furniture sliding and glass shattering—while Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On blared through the speakers, adding an eerie soundtrack to the chaos.
