Quick recap The meeting began with personal travel experiences, including dietary preferences and climate adjustments. The group then covered various news stories and unusual events, ranging from rejected license plates to a robot setting a badminton record, before transitioning to a detailed demonstration of a DA2 digital player and its features. The conversation ended with humorous stories and jokes, followed by a reminder about listener ratings and upcoming episodes. Summary Terry shared his travel experiences, including an incident where his suitcase vibrated due to an accidentally activated beard trimmer, and mentioned his adjustment to the warm climate in Chicago, which contrasted with the cold back home. They also talked about dietary preferences, with Terry recounting a conversation with a Wisconsin resident who avoids cheese and discussed his own meal preferences during his hospital stay. Terry mentions the consistent menu of pot roast served at the facility. Terry and Keith discussed the poor quality of food and service at the hospital cafeteria at Hines, noting that meals were served on Styrofoam plates with plastic utensils since November. Terry mentioned giving braille calendars to Maggie from the Madison County Blind, to be distributed to veterans during exit interviews. News of the Week Due to technology issues Terry passes the torch to Jill to get the segment started. She shared an update on a hibernating bear under a California man’s house, which had been lured into a cage by wildlife officials but ended up capturing the wrong bear. Terry then shared a story about Illinois officials revealing rejected personalized license plates from 2025, including one that read “I be poopin’.” Keith shared details about the auction of the final run of pennies in the United States, where 232 sets of three pennies sold for $16.76 million, with the last penny sold for $8,000. They also discussed the historical value of pennies and the changing cost of penny candy over the years. Jill mentioned a story about a Japanese company building a robot, though the details were not fully explored. The unusual news stories continue, including a robot setting a world record for consecutive badminton returns against humans, a horse knocking over a mailbox in Florida, and police recovering a stolen Faberge egg in New Zealand. Terry shared a story about a West Coast fast food chain, In-N-Out Burger, removing the number 67 from their ticket order system due to a viral trend. Jill's Weird Words Before Jill can get her first word out, Terry has more technical difficulty. Will he make it back in time for his top 10 list? Jill introduces a word game, where participants had to guess the meaning of “Verso” and “e-Phyllis.” Terry's Top 10 List He makes it back just in time, and Terry shared his top 10 list of things reindeer do when it’s not Christmas. They then transitioned to discussing Terry’s new book reader from the NLS library, which he brought to Heinz for instruction. Keith helped identify features of the device, including USB ports, a cartridge slot, and the possibility of connecting a QWERTY keyboard for entering passwords and book titles. Anchor Topic This is the segment or we talk about blindness related issues. Since Terry is now receiving extra training, we turn the segment over to him so we can share what his goals are to learn. Terry demonstrated the functionality of a DA2 digital player, including its buttons, features, and navigation. He explained how to use various buttons for tasks like playing books, adjusting settings, and accessing the user guide. Keith and Jill provided clarifications and asked questions to better understand the device’s capabilities. They discussed the possibility of covering more features in a future session. Email and Final Thoughts Keith reads emails from listeners, but Terry expressed a preference for emails about real experiences rather than dreams or visions. Keith shared a humorous story about St. Peter at the gates of heaven, where he compared the rewards given to different individuals based on their earthly deeds. He followed it up with the story about a man whose wife discovered he made bets on horses. The final word from our AI companion The group then engaged in a lighthearted exchange of jokes, with Terry and Jill contributing their own humorous anecdotes.
