<v Speaker 6>I also had a shirt on. I had it, I

<v Speaker 6>had it laid out. I didn't put it on, but

<v Speaker 6>I was like, I can't do it.

<v Speaker 2>I don't want to go. I got a little self

<v Speaker 2>shame there.

<v Speaker 3>I was like, I'm just gonna throw run errands today

<v Speaker 3>after the show, and I'm like, I'm i gotta go

<v Speaker 3>to the DMV today.

<v Speaker 2>Don't be jealous.

<v Speaker 4>I'm like, I'm not gonna sit at the DMV today

<v Speaker 4>in a Star Wars T shirt.

<v Speaker 2>It's not a question. Can't do it?

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, especially on today like any other day, I'll throw

<v Speaker 6>on a shirt, a Star Wars shirt.

<v Speaker 2>I don't care. But today I was like, I don't know.

<v Speaker 2>I don't think I can do it.

<v Speaker 5>You're opening up the possibility of a lot of unwanted

<v Speaker 5>conversations if you wear a Star Wars shirt today, Like

<v Speaker 5>people will just come up to you and start.

<v Speaker 4>Not really irritating people.

<v Speaker 2>I didn't know we had so many songs.

<v Speaker 1>I know you're really going all out here with the

<v Speaker 1>Star Wars.

<v Speaker 4>Theme for all the young kids.

<v Speaker 2>This is star Trek. Yeah. I was like, this is

<v Speaker 2>a Star Wars I didn't know. I gonna know. That's

<v Speaker 2>gonna piss off the Star Wars fan mission.

<v Speaker 4>Accomplished hood right around this time.

<v Speaker 3>We'd like to give you a little PMI action with

<v Speaker 3>jkj here at mix. It's a positive, a minus, and

<v Speaker 3>something interesting to start your day.

<v Speaker 4>Who had the P today?

<v Speaker 6>I got the P today And this one's gonna warm

<v Speaker 6>your heart because Mary Emrick. She is a US veteran

<v Speaker 6>who is now dealing with PTSD after serving for a

<v Speaker 6>couple of years there. She teamed up with Colorado School

<v Speaker 6>of Minds and several students there, along with projects serve

<v Speaker 6>to help her deal with something. She has a service

<v Speaker 6>dog now that goes with her everywhere to help her,

<v Speaker 6>and she also deserves a lot of people in other

<v Speaker 6>nonprofits as well.

<v Speaker 2>And she's like, I have a problem.

<v Speaker 6>I have this wagon of things that I bring and

<v Speaker 6>I have so much stuff in here that it gets

<v Speaker 6>really heavy, and it's hard to go through doors and

<v Speaker 6>be able to get my dog through them because sometimes

<v Speaker 6>the door closes too quickly. So she teamed up with

<v Speaker 6>Projects Serve and Colorado School of Minds to come up

<v Speaker 6>with an apparatus that the Dot, her dog, her service dog,

<v Speaker 6>can actually wear, and then it brings the wagon along

<v Speaker 6>with her and she goes. It has made everything so

<v Speaker 6>much easier for so much better. So these students and

<v Speaker 6>I want to give them a shout out by name

<v Speaker 6>because what they did is awesome. So Hannah Gates, Karuna Owens,

<v Speaker 6>Kate Kudlak, Kira Buck Malter, and Sam Koch.

<v Speaker 4>So what is it?

<v Speaker 6>Teamed up and device that the dog can pull the wagon.

<v Speaker 6>Get teamed up and created this device that the dog

<v Speaker 6>can wear. And it's it's an apple. It's it's an

<v Speaker 6>it goes around. No, it's not a rope, it's it's

<v Speaker 6>the picture shows it much better than what I can explain.

<v Speaker 6>But it's this thing that goes around the entire dog

<v Speaker 6>and it's connected to the wagon, so the dog basically

<v Speaker 6>looks like what a horse would wear.

<v Speaker 1>A harness to attach to the way.

<v Speaker 5>It's pretty neat and he can pull it so it

<v Speaker 5>doesn't I guess, have any weight on the actual dog.

<v Speaker 4>Yes, wheels and stuff.

<v Speaker 6>It's like yeah, And what's so cool about this is

<v Speaker 6>these seniors got to do this for their senior capstone

<v Speaker 6>and they actually went back and forth from Nebraska where

<v Speaker 6>Mary lives, to get exactly what her vision was and

<v Speaker 6>we ate this thing. And they worked with her for

<v Speaker 6>almost their full school year to create this thing, and

<v Speaker 6>then they all showed it off at the senior capstone.

<v Speaker 6>Mary was there and she is so excited to be

<v Speaker 6>able to use this now because she is serving others

<v Speaker 6>along with her and her little service dog. And I

<v Speaker 6>love this story because all these seniors got to help

<v Speaker 6>work with veterans and I love being able to help

<v Speaker 6>the veterans in any way that we can.

<v Speaker 1>Oh, and thank you Mary for your service. Yeah very sweet.

<v Speaker 5>All right, Well, McDonald's is bringing us the minus today

<v Speaker 5>because what the heck are.

<v Speaker 1>They doing with their beverage stations?

<v Speaker 4>Are you hearing this about this too?

<v Speaker 2>Going on?

<v Speaker 4>This is?

<v Speaker 1>This is horrible. It is horrible.

<v Speaker 5>And they say by twenty thirty two they're gonna move

<v Speaker 5>away from the.

<v Speaker 1>Self service beverage station.

<v Speaker 3>Is to be all knowing law for the one time

<v Speaker 3>of year I go to McDonald's, I want to walk

<v Speaker 3>up and get me some most sodis.

<v Speaker 5>Pumps exact, Do you have your meal, and then right

<v Speaker 5>before you leave, you fill up your soda cup.

<v Speaker 1>I'm right there with you. You're not going to be

<v Speaker 1>able to do that anymore?

<v Speaker 4>Were they doing this too?

<v Speaker 5>The soda stuff is going to be designated through the

<v Speaker 5>actual employee, So if you want soda, the employee is

<v Speaker 5>gonna have to get it for you, give it.

<v Speaker 1>To you, give free refills, you can.

<v Speaker 5>But you're gonna have to go through the guy, the

<v Speaker 5>person and that. But a lot of McDonald's are privately

<v Speaker 5>owned and so it's all gonna be determined baby the

<v Speaker 5>individual ownership. So not all McDonald's will have free refills,

<v Speaker 5>and so it's not going to be consistent, which is

<v Speaker 5>something we love about McDonald.

<v Speaker 1>That's usually consistent across the board.

<v Speaker 5>Right, So, yeah, this is definitely causing some ruckus in

<v Speaker 5>the McDonald's community.

<v Speaker 1>And I just want to point out.

<v Speaker 5>Personally, they put in all those fun little machines where

<v Speaker 5>you get to like add cherry to your sprite.

<v Speaker 4>And you touch screen.

<v Speaker 5>Why did they do that if they're just gonna take

<v Speaker 5>it away from give it to us.

<v Speaker 1>If you're just gonna take it away.

<v Speaker 4>How rude.

<v Speaker 3>You know what I don't like this is we stop

<v Speaker 3>it a lot of times on our road trips at

<v Speaker 3>McDonald's because you can zip in and you know, have

<v Speaker 3>a bathroom break while you're there. Yeah, you know, grab

<v Speaker 3>yourself a little something something for the road, you know,

<v Speaker 3>then you hit the the soda machine right before you leave.

<v Speaker 4>And top off exactly, and then it's not gonna be there.

<v Speaker 4>And I get the aspect.

<v Speaker 3>Did you see this in the story because they're worried

<v Speaker 3>about like the cleanliness fact that it started.

<v Speaker 5>During COVID nineteen, that's where all this started. And then

<v Speaker 5>they just saw not only was it helping with hygiene,

<v Speaker 5>but their bottom line as well because the price point

<v Speaker 5>all the wasted soda with people who were just like,

<v Speaker 5>you know, then there is some of it.

<v Speaker 1>But I imagine it's not gonna.

<v Speaker 5>Be lessened a whole lot by letting employees handle all

<v Speaker 5>of it.

<v Speaker 3>They will you know, have you seen the public go

<v Speaker 3>up there and just you know, I'd get it, lean

<v Speaker 3>over and drink out of the time.

<v Speaker 5>I just feel like this, like they're gonna get so

<v Speaker 5>many pushbacks. I wonder if it's gonna be worth it,

<v Speaker 5>because already in this room.

<v Speaker 1>We're all mad.

<v Speaker 4>Guess who's going to Wendy's exactly? You know that's what

<v Speaker 4>people will do too, juniacs. There you go, there you go.

<v Speaker 4>All right, Well, let's wrap things up with the interesting.

<v Speaker 3>This one made me giggle, and Katie, I'm wondering if

<v Speaker 3>you're dealing this with your daughter. But gen Z is

<v Speaker 3>now being called the Christopher Columbus generation because they keep

<v Speaker 3>discovering things that have already existed. The latest one is

<v Speaker 3>silent walking, which is going for a walk without your phone.

<v Speaker 2>Uh you mean like the.

<v Speaker 5>Nineties Christopher Columbus, Yeah, the Christopher. Have you guys heard

<v Speaker 5>of these hot pockets?

<v Speaker 3>Whyet quitting is in there, which is what people have

<v Speaker 3>done for years. They just discovered coke floats, which have

<v Speaker 3>been around since the eighteen hundred I know when they

<v Speaker 3>think it.

<v Speaker 5>Is if you put ice cream in your soda, it's

<v Speaker 5>like an amazing upgrade.

<v Speaker 4>Try Oh my god, have you even tried it?

<v Speaker 3>Other things like they're discovering digital cameras. They've recently discovered

<v Speaker 3>wired headphones. Yeah, and CDs and cassettes and records.

<v Speaker 5>How about the little girl who went viral on TikTok

<v Speaker 5>who was like, here's an idea work with like no

<v Speaker 5>hear me out right, a phone.

<v Speaker 1>We all share it and it stays in the house.

<v Speaker 2>Yes, brilliant, It's so happening.

<v Speaker 4>What is happening there?

<v Speaker 3>You go, guys, as you're positive your minus and definitely

<v Speaker 3>something a little interesting and super annoying with jkj here
