Speaker A:

It's haystack.

Speaker A:

It's time for something I like to call small talk.

Speaker A:

Just a few random things that you can make small talk with random people with.

Speaker A:

I'm going to start with something very sad, but it's just a reminder.

Speaker A:

A two year old girl has passed away in Florida in a hot minivan.

Speaker A:

Being left in the hot minivan while the care while in the care of a babysitter just it's a reminder.

Speaker A:

Again, those who think these concerns about hot vehicles are overblown because I've heard people say, ah, that rarely ever.

Speaker A:

It's not overblown.

Speaker A:

It's a serious thing.

Speaker A:

Do not leave babies in a hot vehicle.

Speaker A:

Okay, that's just not good.

Speaker A:

Apple has increased orders for their new foldable phone up to 10 million, up from their earlier projections of 7 or 8 million.

Speaker A:

So they apparently think the foldable phone is going to be a big hit.

Speaker A:

Paper airplane record has been set by students from Italy's University of Pisa.

Speaker A:

A Guinness World record with a giant paper airplane that flew 193 and a half feet.

Speaker A:

And every substitute teacher in America just felt a disturbance in the force.

Speaker A:

Oh goodness.

Speaker A:

Soccer has set a world record.

Speaker A:

Or I'm sorry, a US Record, I should say, for viewership.

Speaker A:

The big match Monday night when the U.S. got destroyed by Belgium.

Speaker A:

Most watched soccer game in U.S. history.

Speaker A:

30 Million viewers.

Speaker A:

It's not super bowl numbers, but it's still pretty big numbers.

Speaker A:

The annual nine day running of the Bulls is underway now in Pamplona, Spain, with thousands sprinting ahead of bulls and steers each morning.

Speaker A:

Meanwhile, I just get winded from running from my responsibilities.

Speaker A:

So I am going to pass on that.

Speaker A:

Pringles has introduced Pringles flavored hot dog buns in sour cream and onion barbecue and honey mustard varieties, plus a beer flavored bun with Miller Lite.

Speaker A:

Sorry, bald eagle.

Speaker A:

America has a new mascot, the hot dog bun flavored Pringle.

Speaker A:

What in the world?

Speaker A:

A dad has gone viral after showing how his family of five eats at Chick Fil A for under $45 by turning a nugget tray and buttered buns into sandwiches.

Speaker A:

And lastly, a family husky chased a bear away from a young boy playing in a Connecticut driveway and even nipped at the bear's heiny.

Speaker A:

That dog just deserves every stinking treat in the house, let me tell you.
