They lost WHAT on the Batman Ride?

At Six Flags, hang on to your crap when on a ride, cause you're not getting it back until the park closes. The park policy is that rides don't shut down to retrieve lost items. If you lose your phone, your glasses, your hat—tough toenails. You'll have to stick around to closing time if you want that item back. However, there was an exception to this policy. And what did this customer lose in mid ride that caused the ride to be shut down so that it could be retrieved? You'll find out in this episode of OK Boomer during my interview with a former member of the management team at Six Flags amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois. Lacie Mayer gives us an inside look at how things work at a business that can have up to 50,000 visitors in one day- and yes, she'll tell us what that customer lost on the Batman ride.

Steve Swanson: Sixteen Years of Getting S**t Done (part II)

With his four dollar an hour salary, Steve Swanson accomplished much during his 16 years as mayor of a small village nestled alongside the Rock River in western Illinois. This episode concludes my conversation with Steve about significant events of his mayoral tenure of Prophetstown, IL, none more significant than the fire that devasted the town on July 13, 2013. He shares with us behind-the-scene details of how a small town came together to overcome its greatest challenge.

Mayor Steve Swanson, outside, in his underwear: "What the Hell is going on?"

As a small town mayor, he was in charge of million dollar projects. He ran meetings where the public was encouraged to give feedback, which could be less than positive. He was in charge of civic improvements in which he would work side-by-side with employees, operating heavy machinery. What did he earn for these efforts? Around four dollars an hour. Then he watched his town go up in flames. (He first saw the fire at 2:00 AM from his yard while partially dressed.) Join Boomer for a conversation with Steve Swanson, long time mayor of Prophetstown, Illinois. They'll discuss the fire and other projects he spearheaded in sixteen years as mayor.

Don't Get Brain Matter on Your Phone Screen

Don't Get Brain Matter On Your Phone Screen Why you ask? Because it's gross and difficult to get off. So, yeah, it's best to avoid that if at all possible. And that's a slice of the craziness in this episode, an episode loaded with chuckles, one liners, quips, and a modern explanation of how you were born, along with some more somber offerings in yet another Potpourri edition (#10!). Yes, it's late. Yes, it's irresponsible of me. But it's here and you damn well better enjoy it.
