❿ Sticky, Gooey, World Record!- the other day, on National S'mores Day, the folks at Smoresapalooza were officially awarded a Guinness World Record for most people S'moring at the same time...- 891 people in Grapevine, Texas put Graham Wafers, chocolate,  and toasted marshmallows together to make this record... so sticky... yes delicious,  but so darn sticky! #heroes- btw, they used 500 fire pits to do this b/c everybody had to do their own s'more at the same time.. See www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/hundreds-in-texas-combine-to-break-smores-related-guinness-world-record/3314230/%3famp=1 ❾ The Canadian Amateur Safe Cracker and the 75 year old safe...- This bookstore in Baltimore had an old old safe without a combination...  they couldn't get into it and of course they wanted to... if you have a 75 year  old safe and you DON'T want to get that thing open, you might be a psychopath *consult your physician*.- the bookstore put the challenge out on social media... "Hey safe crackers, we've got one for ya" (paraphrase)...- a fella named Rick from Winnipeg who is a lock-picking and safe-cracking enthusiast (not a professional) did some crowdfunding and had enough money to travel to Baltimore within three or four days... so Rick got to go and try what a bunch of other safe crackers tried and failed at... and he got the safe open!- the deal from the bookstore was that you could split whatever was inside the safe 50/50... but it turned out that the only thing in there was a pay stub from the 1920s- I get the feeling it was never about the treasure for Rick, it was about the adventure... See the CBC report https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2255109187975 ❽ Riding a bicycle backwards for 500 miles is not impossible? *citation needed- Hoops Hooper at UPI filed this one the other day... a guy from Alaska who can ride his bike backwards needed more of a challenge, I guess, and so he entered a 500 mile bicycle race and did the whole thing riding backwards!- they think that's a world record, now we just wait for the folks at Guinness World Records to make it official...- byw, his name is Walker... Will Walker... but he bicycles... backwards... idk why that's messing with me but it is... a guy named Walker who is famous for a 500 mile race but he didn't walk it... or use a walker, that also would've made more sense to me... See www.upi.com/amp/Odd_News/2023/08/10/Guinness-World-Records-distance-cycling-backward-RAGBRAI/5631691686278/ ❼ The Butter Cow of the Illinois State Fair...- this was picked up by a lot of news sources and I'm glad because I had never heard of the Illinois Butter Cow before...- If you're like me and extremely disappointed in yourself because you are only now learning of the Butter Cow phenomenon, let's promise each other that we'll live each day to the fullest from now on, OK?- according to MyStateLine.com, "The Butter Cow has been a tradition at the Illinois State Fair since the 1920s. This year's edition was created by sculptor Sarah Pratt, and can be viewed via a webcam housed within its refrigerated display." (See link below.)- I don't know art, but I know what I love... and it's 800 pounds of delicious buttery goodness made to look like a glorious cow.See www.mystateline.com/news/800-pound-butter-cow-sculpture-unveiled-at-illinois-state-fair/amp/ and the webcam at https://statefair.illinois.gov/info/webcams/buttercow.html ❻ Live Frog in Package of Spinach! - (character limit!)

Sarah Pratt answers some submitted questions about this year's creation of the annual Iowa State Fair Butter Cow. Pratt is enlisting a lot of family in our interview and how Broadway inspired this year's display.

The State Fair is here, our aquatic centers are closing early and Iowans are squeezing in a little more fun before summer ends. While everyone else is swimming and fishing and taking pictures of the Butter Cow, John and Chris instead head to the ITR conference room to talk about Presidents Harding and Coolidge. ITR's resident historian John Hendrickson draws a historical parallel between our current economic situation to that of 100 years ago. Our nation is currently recovering from a worldwide pandemic and struggling with rising inflation. 100 years ago, President Warren G. Harding inherited a similar situation after winning the 1920 election in a landslide. But Harding overcame it by getting government out of the way. The economy recovered quickly—whereas President Biden enacted progressive policies that have resulted in a double-dip recession with 40-year high inflation. You can read John's full article here: https://itrfoundation.org/a-history-lesson-for-president-joe-biden/

We spoke to the sculptor of the state fair butter cow, Sarah Pratt to hear more about how it's made.

Geeg Wiles is the voice, caretaker and keeper of chronicles for Ahab’s Adventures.An average year for Geeg and his partner consists of such undertakings as jumping out of planes, rafting gnarly white water rapids, swimming at Black Canyon National Park, taking in the historic buildings of Stockholm, exploring the falls of the Upper Peninsula, hitchhiking through Patagonia, volunteering at the Virgin Islands Environmental Resource Station, and being 1.5 out of 5 people to smell the Iowa State Fair’s Butter Cow. All of this on-the-ground “work” contributes to a larger story, which has been in the care of Geeg’s family for over seven decades.At the mention that Geeg has accomplished these feats with “his partner,” you may have assumed that relationship was of a romantic sort, but that’s not the case. His travel companion is Captain Ahab; a three-foot-tall, forty-pound, bright yellow, wooden fisherman/wannabe pirate captain. Together, they are on a mission to motivate others by showing that if Captain Ahab can conquer his bucket list, then anyone can blast through their excuses and COMMANDEER LIFE!!!The business innovation behind Ahab's Adventures challenges the status quo, as does the way Geeg and Captain Ahab approach every single activity, interaction and idea. Of course, a lawn gnome was never intended to live the life Captain Ahab leads, nor should he be allowed to get behind so much red tape to accomplish his goals, but this dynamic duo’s entrepreneurial, “anything's possible,” thinking opens doors that would otherwise remained closed. By having re-imagined the purpose behind something old, neglected and even ordinary, Geeg inspires others to find the extraordinary in their own lives and seize a refreshing outlook on what’s possible.Outside his professional life, Geeg is a cross between a white water raft guide and a biology lab technician and instructor.TEDxTalk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX9TJwNs_hM&app=desktopWebsite - http://www.AhabsAdventures.com   Tune in now to Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space for Controversy.Today's episode is sponsored by Ren10Media who believed in me from the beginning.  If you want to look and sound your best for a podcast of your own email info@ren10media.co.za use the subject line Better Call Daddy.
