Loon Morning Show Rundown: Patience [AUDIO]

As heard on the January 29th show:

1. Woman Finds 13lbs of Marijuana in Used Van

An amazing discovery was made after a New Mexico family was having problems with the lock on the rear door of their 1990 Chevy van.  When a friend took the door off, they found 13 pounds of marijuana stashed away inside.  It had been there for over a decade.  Now that's some stanky weed.

2. Songs That Sound the Same

There are a lot of them.  People have been talking about it this week because Tom Petty scored royalties from Sam Smith's "Say With Me", because it sounds like "I Won't Back Down".  Shouldn't there be more musicians getting royalties if this is the case?  There are a TON of songs that sound alike.  Listen to the audio track to hear our super mash-up.  And enjoy this video montage of another sound-a-like thing that songs do.

 3. Americans Are So Impatient

That we take a bite of hot pizza knowing full well it's going to burn the taste buds right out of our mouths, but we just can't wait!  We also hate waiting on hold, going the speed limit and waiting for people to respond to our texts.  We want it all and we want it now!

 5. The Rich Are Planning Their Escape

The poor are plotting their hostile take over of the 1%, or so those richie-riches seem to think.  At a recent gathering of the fabulously wealthy a former hedge fund director talked about "hedge fund managers all over the world who are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway."  We will find you.  And your piles of money.

 7. Ways to Not Eat Like a Pig During Super Bowl

Because counting calories is just another way of exercising your mind's number muscle so you can better crank out stats as the big game rolls along.  First rule, do not use your beer gut as a dinner tray.  It's unstable and you know the minute your team scores you'll be on your feet and the food on the floor.  Actually, just do that sit to stand thing five times.  Good!  Now, shove another chicken wing in your mouth.  You earned it.
