October 1, 2018 Mark's Bits & Pieces

It’s a fresh month!  Happy October!!  Here’s what we covered on today’s show.

  • What do you do when you want to feel healthy?  Maybe you’d eaten poorly for a few days and you want to make yourself feel better.  A new survey revealed what Americans do to ‘feel’ like we’re being healthy, including buying more fruits and veggies…but not necessarily eating them.  Check out the full story, here.
  • A woman in St. Louis sued her son’s high school after he didn’t make the varsity soccer team.  Because he’s a junior, he wasn’t eligible for JV…so she sued for age discrimination.  She’s suing others too!  Check out this crazy story.
  • Police in Texas posted on Facebook last month offering a $1,000 reward for tips on a wanted thief.  The thief responded to the post asking if HE could get the reward.  The answer was no and they caught him a week later.  Here’s the story.
  • Kevin Hart’s Night School came in first place at the box office over the weekend, earning $28 million.  That is the best debut for a “pure comedy” so far this year…and we’re in October!  Smallfoot came in second place and The House with a Clock in Its Walls came in third.  Here’s are all the numbers.
  • Some Major League ballparks have a tradition where fans will throw BACK a home run that’s hit by the opposing team.  Well, a Boston Red Sox fan strong-armed a throw that actually nailed the Yankees player who hit it as he rounded second base, yesterday.  The video is below.  The fan was tossed from the game.
