00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: I really have to go to the bathroom.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,240

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: to get out of a speeding ticket.

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,280

00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: I just tell the Mounties that I don't understand kilometers well.

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: When officers approached the driver's side window, she didn't cry

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: or try to flash some skin, and she didn't use

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: the bath from excuse either.

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,440

00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: There's more.

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: And then when the policeman asked, why wouldn't I give

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: that to you, Alicia said, well, because it's my birthday.

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't lie though, because he's gonna take

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: your license.

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Yes, Roger, but it was true.

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: It turns out her parents really did lend their brand

32
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: new yellow Porsch to Alicia for her birthday for just

33
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes so she could.

34
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: Drive down the highway and come home.

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: And guess what the officer said to Alicia's birthday requests. No,

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: they said, nope, sorry, and we're also going to have

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: to impound.

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: That car because she was going so fast. Not a

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: great birthday for Alicia.

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: Going to be mad, just walk home.

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Run away from home after that.

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: But would that excuse work here in the United States,

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 2: because we have a lot more respect for birthdays here

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: in the States.

45
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that one of our listeners tries it.

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: Okay, they We're not asking you to speed excessively, but

47
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: if you do happen to get polo, we try the

Speaker 1: the question. Thank you Jeff on this day.

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: Back in nineteen thirty the very first Nickey Mouse comic strip,

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 4: and the world was never the same.

57
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet.

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: Once newspapers realized that people would happily ignore all the

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: depressing headlines to read tiny drawings about talking animals, whacky shenanigans,

60
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 4: then comic strips explode. People need laughter. Oh yeah, you're right.

61
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: No other medium can make you mildly chuckle quite like

62
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: a cartoon.

63
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: In the morning. It's nice. Oh that's funny.

64
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: It makes you breath quick your nose, yeah, just a

65
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 4: tiny exhale. That's why today, in honor of the first

66
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: Mickey Mouse comic strip, we're doing a special Funny Page

67

Speaker 4: most popular comic strips that have graced American newspapers over

00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: the last few decades. You just have to name one

Speaker 4: to keep playing our game.

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: Oh nice, I'll tell you.

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,760

73
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Nice so unusual for I've never seen it before. I

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: guess I kind of just took it out and made Disney.

75
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: Also tell you the Silver Save is in play. So

76
