Hey, it's Haystack.

It's time for hey snacks.

My Saturday leftovers.

Some of the thoughts I'd scribbled down throughout the week that I didn't get around to saying on the air during the morning show or that I was afraid were a little too edgy.

I'll get a little edgier on the podcast because, you know, it's the Internet saw where scientists have discovered the gene that causes people to cheat.

And I'm not talking about the genes that are very tightly affixed to Sydney Sweeney, although I'm sure those could cause many to cheat as well.

There's a study that finds the audience at the major broadcast networks has aged considerably.

In fact, I think I saw where CBS has a new drama, NCIS aarp.

You know, this is going to happen at some point.

I, I'd seen where the average Fox news viewer is 69 years old.

That's.

Wow.

I, I think you have to, sometimes you have to be careful.

We're bad about using these cliche phrases, you know, I'll catch you next time.

And I really upset a buddy of mine when he said, how are you coming to the wedding?

And I said, well, maybe next time.

And I guess that was, I guess that was not a good move.

He, he did not find that humorous.

I wasn't even trying to be funny.

Or maybe I was just a little bit.

It's amazing how as we age our definition of happy changes.

You know, when we're younger.

Happy hour is going to that place where you get a half price brew or whatever.

And I've realized now, and I'm not ancient or anything, I'm middle aged, I'm 44 years old.

But at this point, happy hour is when I take a nap and I wake up without being sore somewhere, without a crick in a neck or a shoulder being weird because I slept on it wrong.

That first hour of being awake without soreness, that is, that is my happy hour.

You have.

I was talking about cliches earlier.

You know how you go somewhere and they say, I'll make yourself at home.

I went to a friend's house and they said, make yourself at home, Haystack.

So I threw them out because I don't like visitors.

I'm gonna make myself at home.

Get out.

Oh, just terrible jokes that I scrolled down, didn't get around to.

I, I, I, obviously as a guy who talks on the radio, I'm a little too talkative sometimes.

And I think I'm going to start a support group for people who talk too much.

It'll be called on and on Anon.

On and on and on.

On and on and on.

Yeah, that.

That's what it would.

That's what it would be.

We talk a lot about the statistics survey says study finds.

One recent study found that the confidence in public schools is at a record low.

And I think that's really, really sad.

But as I thought about it, you shouldn't be sad.

The results on this study, good chance they're inaccurate because the people who did the study probably all went to public schools.

So maybe this.

Maybe the study's wrong.

Maybe we'll be okay.

Maybe we'll.

We'll be all right.

There's a new surgery, free alternative to LASIK surgery.

Sorry, I'm yawning.

To LASIK surgery that uses electricity instead of lasers to reshape the cornea.

And it has been proven effective on rabbit eyeballs.

I'm not exactly sure how they get rabbits to read eye charts, but that's good news that you don't have to have the laser.

Just, I guess, a little Joe to.

Although, then again, I just.

I don't know what.

How much differences are between being shot in the eyeball with a laser and being shot in the eyeball with.

What do they put a tiny patch on your eye and go, clear, Boom.

I don't understand how electricity eyeball works.

Google is releasing the new Pixel 10 series of Android phones ahead of the iPhone 17.

One of the anticipated new features for the Pixel 10 series is called Camera Coach, and it uses artificial intelligence to give you real time tips for taking better photos.

I think there's only one tip that's needed for the majority of people in northwest Arkansas.

Just don't do a duck face.

There you go.

That's the only tip.

When I'm browsing the bumbles and the hinges and it's if.

If the.

If the profile picture is a duck face.

Selfie.

Done.

Nope, not swiping right.

Well, most of the time, one in four workers from Generation Z say they regret going to college, which I find absolutely shocking.

You mean to tell me there are one in four members of Generation Z that actually work?

No.

Come on.

Let's see here.

Just a few more.

Just a few more.

We'll call it a day.

The first cut of the Michael Jackson biopic.

Over three hours long.

So I guess, like, his nose, they're gonna have to shave it down a little bit.

Research has re.

Research has found that cyclists have fewer mental health issues than the rest of the population.

That bodes well, for Benton county, right?

There's bicycles everywhere.

Cyclists have fewer mental health issues.

Or maybe it's not the actual cycling.

Maybe it's just that the rest of us should not go anywhere without a helmet.

Maybe if we all wore helmets, there would be fewer mental health issues in the end.

All right, I'm going to get out of here.

I'm going to try to leave you with one uplifting thought at the end of this thing.

You should take after me.

I've decided I'm going to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

And it's really simple now.

I park and I walk inside to buy the donuts instead of using the drive through.
