<v Speaker 1>Jerry, Katy and Josh six one hundred.

<v Speaker 2>It is time for PMI three stories to send you

<v Speaker 2>on your way for the rest of the day. A positive,

<v Speaker 2>a minus, and something a little bit interesting.

<v Speaker 3>Who had the pee today?

<v Speaker 4>I got the pe.

<v Speaker 1>Way has to do with food, so it's already positive.

<v Speaker 1>But you know, everything's kind of a little expensive right now,

<v Speaker 1>and meat is right up there with some of the

<v Speaker 1>most expensive stuff. Something where I'm from is catching on

<v Speaker 1>to help people save some money, and I love it.

<v Speaker 4>Have you ever heard of a meat raffle?

<v Speaker 3>No, but I want to learn more.

<v Speaker 1>It's at all about this. So typically folks from the

<v Speaker 1>Midwest do it. And my mom is a sucker for

<v Speaker 1>a good meat raffle. So she'll call me and she'll

<v Speaker 1>be like, I won the beef bundle.

<v Speaker 4>Let's see, that's what I've said. But here's the thing.

<v Speaker 1>You go to like a bar or a VFW, and

<v Speaker 1>they usually have these things once a week, and you

<v Speaker 1>roll in and you buy a raffle ticket, right and

<v Speaker 1>then at the end of the night they'll draw those

<v Speaker 1>tickets and they've got the beef bundled, the chicken bundle,

<v Speaker 1>the pork bundled, the seafood bundle and somebody wins each

<v Speaker 1>of those, so ticket's like fifty bucks, you know, so

<v Speaker 1>you'll be you know, coughing up some change, but it's

<v Speaker 1>for the chance to win a huge bundle worth dollars.

<v Speaker 4>It is so much fun and it really makes it

<v Speaker 4>feel like a winner. My mom will ride that high

<v Speaker 4>all week.

<v Speaker 3>Long behind nobody's busy bundled.

<v Speaker 1>Champion, like she gets so excited about it. But again,

<v Speaker 1>the Midge Bundle, you could get hundreds of dollars worth

<v Speaker 1>of beef, and with beef being so expensive right now,

<v Speaker 1>probably even more. But you'll get multiple roasts, some steaks,

<v Speaker 1>some ground beef, some burgers that are already formed for you.

<v Speaker 4>So usually yeah, it's like a.

<v Speaker 1>Whole bunch of different beef products or chicken or pork,

<v Speaker 1>and then you win them all. So they're catching on though, like.

<v Speaker 3>Bring this in. What do you mean? Where are they

<v Speaker 3>getting all this meat from his trunk or something?

<v Speaker 1>Okay, So for my small town, it's Skyview Meats, right,

<v Speaker 1>And so the guy who runs it does this every week.

<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if that's how it works in

<v Speaker 1>all the small towns, but that's how it works a

<v Speaker 1>small town.

<v Speaker 4>So you got a meet guy.

<v Speaker 3>They got a meat guy.

<v Speaker 4>You got a meat guy, and the bar gives him

<v Speaker 4>a kickback.

<v Speaker 3>Like, hey, my name is Brent, I'm a meat guy.

<v Speaker 1>Fifty off on all your well cocktails, Like that's what

<v Speaker 1>he gets in exchange for the meat raffle.

<v Speaker 4>I don't know what you got. Well, what's wrong with that? Yeah?

<v Speaker 1>But I just love it because again, let's say some money,

<v Speaker 1>let's have some fun. And if you want to start

<v Speaker 1>your own meat raffle, well there you go, there's an

<v Speaker 1>idea for you have fun with it.

<v Speaker 3>Can you just proclaim that?

<v Speaker 2>And like work, one day you stand up in an

<v Speaker 2>all staff meeting and be like, hey, guys, I'm gonna

<v Speaker 2>start a meat raffle.

<v Speaker 3>Who's with me?

<v Speaker 1>I bet you the sports guys would be about that

<v Speaker 1>meat raffle.

<v Speaker 4>So we got a big meeting today.

<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna bring it up.

<v Speaker 4>You should, I'll back you up.

<v Speaker 3>All right, let's do it.

<v Speaker 4>Let's bring our dogs for everyone. Well stop me.

<v Speaker 5>If you've heard this before. A woman out of Florida,

<v Speaker 5>it's a Florida woman's story. Well, she was caught speeding

<v Speaker 5>and she was going through a residential neighborhood at three

<v Speaker 5>times the speed limit. She was caught going one hundred

<v Speaker 5>and twenty three miles per hour through this neighborhood before

<v Speaker 5>the cop was finally.

<v Speaker 2>Three times, isn't it? Is it residential twenty five?

<v Speaker 5>No residential residential twenty twenty five, so more than three times?

<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah.

<v Speaker 5>Anyway, so the cop finally catches up to her and goes,

<v Speaker 5>why why were you doing this? And she goes, well,

<v Speaker 5>I'm in a sports car.

<v Speaker 3>I thought.

<v Speaker 5>Because I was in a sports car, I was able

<v Speaker 5>to go this fast. That was her logic.

<v Speaker 4>That sounds like something I'd say, that.

<v Speaker 5>Is a Katie story. So this is exactly who I

<v Speaker 5>thought of. Right when I read this story, I go,

<v Speaker 5>this has to be Katie.

<v Speaker 3>Katie, were you.

<v Speaker 4>In Florida recently?

<v Speaker 3>Yesterday with your meat bundle?

<v Speaker 4>Yesterday?

<v Speaker 1>I was actually getting a Tan and I was late

<v Speaker 1>for my appointment, and I pulled into the tan parking

<v Speaker 1>lot going like twenty taking a left. I mean, I

<v Speaker 1>was flying right next to a cop and they looked

<v Speaker 1>at me and shipped their little finger, and I rolled

<v Speaker 1>down my window.

<v Speaker 4>I'm late for my Tan, and he lets you go

<v Speaker 4>and pull me over.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's just because I've ran into

<v Speaker 1>the tanning salon so fast, and he didn't want to.

<v Speaker 4>Wait for me.

<v Speaker 3>Probably saw your meat, but oh, he said, I'm good

<v Speaker 3>at this one.

<v Speaker 5>Go.

<v Speaker 3>There's a big meat bundle.

<v Speaker 2>All right, let's wrap things up with the interesting. Italy

<v Speaker 2>just made history becoming the first country to offer paid

<v Speaker 2>leave for workers who are caring for their sick pets.

<v Speaker 4>A little for babies.

<v Speaker 3>I feel like I need to change the music for this.

<v Speaker 3>Here we go.

<v Speaker 2>I'll started back in twenty seventeen, a librarian in Rome

<v Speaker 2>fought for time off to care for her sick dog

<v Speaker 2>and one She argued that under Italian law, letting an

<v Speaker 2>animal suffer is a crime, so forcing somebody to choose

<v Speaker 2>between work and their pet put them.

<v Speaker 3>In it's it's an impossible situation.

<v Speaker 2>So now workers can take up to three days a

<v Speaker 2>year to care for their pets. Now there are rules.

<v Speaker 2>The pet has to be microchipped and a vet has

<v Speaker 2>to con firm the situation is urgent, so you can't

<v Speaker 2>just go wandering into your bos Hey, my cat is coughing.

<v Speaker 4>My cat's depressed. I need to stay home.

<v Speaker 3>My goldfish is like floating with.

<v Speaker 2>Italy has over sixty million pets, so it seems like

<v Speaker 2>there might be a lot more sick.

<v Speaker 3>Days taken in the future in Italy.

<v Speaker 1>I know he's a little puppy, he's I'd like that

<v Speaker 1>they're giving them the option to stay home and take

<v Speaker 1>care of it.

<v Speaker 4>I need to stay home, Mama.
