Janine's Easter Plans and Mountain News
Speaker 2Hey, y'all have a good one too, man, alright, bye-bye.
Speaker 1Bye-bye. Let's check in with our best friend, janine Ford, over at our sister stations Magic 1017 and iTalk 1067.
Speaker 3Janine are you over there? Yes, I am, yes, I am Hi Chris. Yes, how are you doing this Friday morning? Good, and it's Good Friday. Happy Good Friday to everyone.
Speaker 1Happy, good Friday, indeed, easter's on Sunday.
Speaker 3What do you got going on this weekend? What's happening with Janine Ford? We are headed to the Valley. We're going to go down there to my son and daughter-in-law's house and the family's all joining there. We're just going to have a big get together. I guess a bunch of people are showing up, so it's going to be fun. Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1Yeah, do you have an Easter egg hunt and eat a lot of great food?
Speaker 3Yeah, I think we're going to do all of the above and I've already got. I've got a lot of stuff pre-made that I'm taking down and it's kind of you know the boys that simple banana pudding with the vanilla wafers. You know you make they always have to have that. It's so easy. But we've got several things I've made that will run down there. My daughter-in-law, she's got the main stuff going on, so we'll have fun. Yeah, it'll be nice and go to church.
Speaker 1Nice. Yeah, I'm actually right after the show I'm heading down to Phoenix because I'm flying to Denver this weekend doing a stand up comedy show in Denver for my sister Megan's 50th birthday party.
Speaker 3Oh, wow.
Speaker 1I'm so excited for that. Growing up I was never allowed to bother her when she had friends over or if she had a party. My mom's like leave your sister alone, and my sister would always be like Mom Chris is bothering us, and then now, when she's turning 50, she wants me to come make her friends laugh, so I'm pretty excited about that.
Speaker 3Yes, that's so neat, that is so cool that you're doing that.
Speaker 1Yeah, that'll be a cool Easter. Hey, when we come back, do you have any news on the mountain you want to share with us?
Speaker 3Yeah, I could just give a little update. We had a little scare on a fire out there in Apache County but power has been restored in the area. It was called the Bonita Fire and you can tell it's right off the side of the highway there, highway 180, 191, where it's going, you know, through there and I mean you know we got to be so careful. Somebody maybe threw a cigarette butt or got their hot car off to the side, something right on the side of the road, and it was pretty scary. But anyway, yeah, we'll talk about that. It was big old time Red flag warning yesterday, so scary. So we have to be extra careful.
Speaker 1Extra careful. All right, we're going to be right back with some news on the mountain with the host of Voice of the Mountain on Night. All right, janine, what news do you have for us on the mountain on this Friday morning?
Speaker 3Well, I looked up on the great page okay, apache County Emergency Management you have to look at that for Apache and Navajo County and they released an update as of 6.08 last night that power had been restored. They had to shut off power in certain areas there too and they had the road closure they had because of fire right off the highway. Highway 180-191 from St John's to Springville was closed due to this brush fire and the thing is you can tell you know right on the highway when they start right on the highway somebody pulled over to the side, drugged some change, threw a cigarette, butt, something like that, because it started right on the highway. So, guys, it was a huge red flag warning yesterday. Got to be so careful.
Speaker 1Absolutely.
Speaker 3Yeah, and so it looks like they caught it, but they still kept it closed really long so they could work that area and put out all those hot spots. I think it burned around 35 acres last.
Speaker 3I checked, I'm not sure. And then there's one other thing on Navajo County's Facebook page, which you noticed too. They're talking about a newer scam and I really would go. You need to go to their website Navajo County Sheriff's website and this is a newer scam. It's pretty sophisticated, okay, and it talks about arrest warrants. There's a warrant for you, bank card fraud and what they're asking for. Yeah, you need to take a look at this post. It's really interesting.
Speaker 1Yeah, so people are calling saying that there's a warrant for your arrest and they say you need to pay with gift cards.
Speaker 3If anyone asks you to pay with gift cards.
Bunny Fact or Funny Fib Game
Speaker 1That is a warning right. That's a scam, so be careful. And yeah, if you receive a phone call or text message stating your bank account or bank card has been compromised, do not click on that link or provide the caller with personal information. It's a scam.
Speaker 3So be careful out there, ever, ever, ever, yep, yep, yeah, don't fall for it, just hang right up on them.
Speaker 1Awesome. Well, that was News on the Mountain with Janine Ford. All right, janine, it's time for a game called Bunny Fact or Funny Fib. I'm going to give you a statement and you guess, if it's a bunny fact or totally made up a funny fib, you ready.
Speaker 3Yes, I'm ready.
Speaker 1All right. The world's largest Easter egg was over 25 feet tall.
Speaker 3Huh fact.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, it was built in Italy in 2011. Dang, you're on fire? Uh, fact, yeah, yeah, it was built in Italy in 2011. Dang, you're on fire? Uh, what about? Uh? Americans eat more than 1.5 billion peeps each Easter 1.5 billion.
Speaker 3That sounds like a lot. They're kind of nasty. They are nasty.
Speaker 1I'm going to say false. I don't know, that's what I would say too, but the correct answer is true. I can't know. That's what I would say too, but the correct answer is true. I can't believe it. It's the number one non-chocolate Easter candy.
Speaker 3Yeah well, they're super cheap, they can give them out. I don't know how many people actually eat them. I will say, though, that when we were doing the news at Channel 12, mark Curtis always said he goes crack them open days in advance of you eating them, let them get stale, and let them days in advance of you eating them, let them get stale. And he goes. They really are good stale.
Speaker 2So that's the key.
Speaker 3Yes, stale peeps are better peeps.
Speaker 2And I did try it.
Speaker 3They really are, because they become chewy and kind of it's different.
Speaker 1Yeah, interesting, all right. How about rabbits? Can't see in color?
Speaker 3I'm going to guess True.
Speaker 1No, it's false. They see in blue and green shades. Blue and green, Okay Alright. And in Switzerland they have the Easter Cuckoo delivers the eggs. Oh, I'll say true. It is true, there we go. I like it.
Speaker 3Easter Cuckoo's coming. I think that's who always came to my house.
Speaker 1That was Bunny Fact or Funny Fib with Janine Ford. Thanks for having fun with us, best friend, happy.
Speaker 3Good Friday, everyone Happy.
Speaker 1Good Friday.
Speaker 3Okay, thanks a lot, chris, bye-bye.
