Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:It's time for small talk.
Speaker A:Some random items you can discuss with random folks today.
Speaker A:The United Kingdom may soon get its sixth prime minister in just seven years.
Speaker A:This after Kier Starmer announced plans to resign.
Speaker A:The.
Speaker A:The.
Speaker A:I think it's the Labor Party leader over there.
Speaker A:Britain changes leaders faster than some people change phone plans.
Speaker A:At this point, it's.
Speaker A:It's pretty wild.
Speaker A:A volcano is apparently erupting underwater near Papua New guinea, but no one knows exactly where.
Speaker A:That is a terrifying start to a disaster movie.
Speaker A:Where's the volcano?
Speaker A:A study says that listening to music can help people push through mental exhaustion while exercising.
Speaker A:No big shock there.
Speaker A:The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed up to $467 million.
Speaker A:Time to spend a few days planning that life you'll never have.
Speaker A:That is definitely a big enough jackpot to create cousins that you never knew existed.
Speaker A:If you win it, thousands have gathered in California.
Speaker A:I love this for gramping.
Speaker A:A meetup of grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.
Speaker A:They are out gramping.
Speaker A:How cool is that?
Speaker A:Toy Story 5 has earned $160 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend, setting a record for the Toy Story franchise.
Speaker A:Tom, not Tom Hanks, though, recently just said he would only do Toy Story 6 if it's worthwhile.
Speaker A:Then a Brinks truck arrived in his driveway, and he said it's worthwhile.
Speaker A:It is the 23rd day of June.
Speaker A:It is National Porridge Day.
Speaker A:Porridge can, of course, be served in three ways.
Speaker A:Too hot, too cold, and just right.
Speaker A:Just right.
Speaker A:It's National Typewriter Day.
Speaker A:Although, before you celebrate, make sure you've got some white out.
Speaker A:There is no delete key on a typewriter.
Speaker A:It is National Hydration Day and National Let It Go Day, which makes sense.
Speaker A:The more you hydrate, the more you have to go to the bathroom to let it go.
Speaker A:And last but not least, ladies and gentlemen, start your credit cards as Amazon Prime Day.
Speaker A:All four days of Prime Day Day kick off today.
Speaker A:More in about an hour with your morning six pack.
