Hartley and Kevin have a long conversation, never getting around to discussing faith, finances or eff bombs. We learn about some personal challenges they each experience this time of year, Hartley shares an unsatisfying childhood memory, and Kevin expresses concerns about youth sports and a lack of listener participation in our current contest.
Show Notes:
- The People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson was a criminal trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court starting in 1994, in which O. J. Simpson, a former National Football League (NFL) player, broadcaster and actor, was tried and acquitted for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. The pair were stabbed to death outside Brown's condominium in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on the night of June 12, 1994. The trial spanned eleven months, from November 9, 1994[1] to October 3, 1995.
- The Ozark Music Festival was held on July 19–21, 1974 on the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia, Missouri. It is estimated 160,000 to 350,000 were in attendance at the three day festival. The event was marked by mismanagement as the facilities were not equipped for the number of attendees.
- Forrest Gump is a 1994 American comedy-drama film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Eric Roth. It is inspired by the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom and stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field.
- Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is type of depression. It happens during certain seasons of the year—most often fall or winter. It is thought that shorter days and less daylight may trigger a chemical change in the brain leading to symptoms of depression. Light therapy and antidepressants can help treat SAD.
- Book referenced in this episode: Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things by Adam Grant; Published by Viking Press; 2023; 304 pages
- As a newspaper carrier, from ages 8 to 15, Hartley delivered the Boonville Daily News from 1978 to 1980 and The Sedalia Democrat from 1981 to 1985.
- It is certainly plausible Mrs. Ekerle obtained her crisp, clean bills from an ATM as Hartley suggests. On September 2 1969, Chemical Bank installed a prototype ATM in the U.S. at its branch in Rockville Centre, New York. The first ATMs were designed to dispense a fixed amount of cash when a user inserted a specially coded card. By the 1980s, these money machines had become widely popular and handled many of the functions previously performed by human tellers, such as check deposits and money transfers between accounts. Today, ATMs are as indispensable to most people as cell phones and e-mail.
- Remember to contact ("Dig Right") Missouri 811! For digging projects big or small, you need to contact Missouri 811 at least 3 working days before you start digging to avoid hitting an underground utility line. It’s free, it’s simple and it’s the law. Missouri 811 notifies its member utility companies to mark their underground facilities where you plan to dig. Safe digging is everyone’s responsibility. Failure to dig safely can result in costly damages and repairs, loss of essential utility services, and even serious injuries to you or your neighbors.
