Bertha's Kitty Boutique (GK: Cat hair can be a problem if you have an allergy but now Bertha's Kitty Boutique has a Quick'N Easy Five-Second Cat Hair Remover. It uses a powerful electrical charge to ionize any cat hair in your home in one quick jolt (SFX) ---- TR: Be sure to remove any hairpiece before using, do not use while wearing a wool sweater, and if your own hair is thin, we recommend you wear a leather skullcap, available for an extra charge. ---- GK: Turn off electrical appliances and send the kids outdoors and park your car at least 100 feet away. TR: Put your laptop computer in the car and also your cellphone and any other electronic devices. GK: It's the Quick'N Easy Five-Second Cat Hair Remover. Do not use around cats. (SFX, CAT MEOW))

Other mentions/discussions during the show

GK: Our friends who are heading for Florida ---- you may not have heard: there was a cold snap and a road near Pensacola was closed due to ice. In Florida, if there is a light frost on the highway, suddenly it's Bumper Cars. And they've put in a huge new garbage incinerator in West Palm Beach that spews mercury and lead into the air. And there have been a number of attacks by bears. So there's that to think about in addition to copperheads and alligators. You might want to rethink Florida. Maybe Arizona. But there's a documentary out saying that heroin usage is booming among suburban young adults in Arizona, 21 to 28, 56 ODs in Pima County alone. You drive in Arizona, you might run into someone hopped up on heroin. Did you know there are 13 species of rattlesnakes in Arizona, plus the desert tarantula with its venomous barbed hairs which it hurls at you if it feels threatened, and the Gila monster, a venomous lizard up to 2 feet long, which latches onto you and chews to create an open wound and then it spits its toxins into you. I'm not even talking about the giant centipede, which I don't think you'd want to know about. Rattlesnakes in Florida too, plus 20-foot long pythons, and 300-pound feral pigs and sinkholes and fire ants and jellyfish ---- about 200,000 people are stung by jellyfish every year.

TR (LAW ENFORCER): Sgt. Lance Peterson, Minnesota Border Patrol......If you're coming to St. Paul from the east, a reminder that we are 18 miles from the Wisconsin border and tensions can be high on account of Minnesota is a progressive state whereas Wisconsin is in the hands of a right-wing oligarchy serving the interests of the rich. Interstate 94 is open, which connects Minnesota to Chicago, by way of Wisconsin, but when you're on it, you'll find out that Wisconsin people due to poor public education are unable to read road signs. And during the football season, with their team having gotten to the NFC finals thanks to a referee's bad call in their game with Dallas, Wisconsinites are at a fever pitch and travel through the state by people with outstate plates can be hazardous. Every day thousands of Wisconsinites try to cross the border in order to take advantage of things we have that they don't, such as libraries, good schools, the arts, and high-paying jobs. From time to time, our Border Patrol may stop westbound traffic and randomly check the vehicles with our cheese-sniffing dogs (SFX). This is for your own safety. And on Sunday, after Green Bay goes down to defeat in the NFC final, the border will be closed until Monday morning to prevent road rage. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to travellers. Thank you for your attention. Have a good day.
