What Type of Friend Are You? Type A, B, C, or D?




Do people really fit into one of these four categories? What type of friend are you . . . Type A, B, C, or D? (???)





A TikToker in North Carolina named Dionna May blew up online for a video showing what all her Type B friends are like.





It's loosely based off personality types. You probably know Type A and Type B. Some psychologists think there are Type C and D personalities too.





Type A's are high-achievers who like being in charge . . . Type B's are more chill . . . Type C's are like Type A's, but hide their emotions more . . . and Type D's are more irritable. The Daria type.





Dionna's friend categories are similar but different. And each one has its own set of quirks . . .





Type A friend: The overly responsible one. You plan and organize everything, have a sense of urgency, and make sure things like vacations don't fall apart.





Type B friend: You'd give someone the shirt off your back, but YOU need help too. You're forgetful, leave stuff behind, and your phone is always dead.





Type C friend: You're organized like Type A, but more neurotic . . . more likely to bow out of things other people want to do . . . and you love long naps.





Type D friend: You're annoyed a lot . . . prone to confrontation . . . have a twisted sense of humor . . . and you might be into weird stuff like crystals and astrology.





BuzzFeed did a poll where most people said they're Type A. But a lot claim they realized they're Type B after watching the videos.





Dionna says she's definitely Type A, but most of her friends are Type B . . . and they're constantly stressing her out with their Type B nonsense.

A Tech Startup Is Using Mirrored Satellites to Sell "Sunlight After Dark"




This is one of those stories that reminds you, yeah, we're living in the future: A tech startup in California called Reflect Orbital is planning to use mirrored satellites to sell people SUNLIGHT when it's dark out.





One of the co-founders is a former SpaceX employee. They're trying to put a constellation of satellites into orbit that can reflect sunlight and direct it anywhere on Earth. Russia actually did a proof-of-concept decades ago, and it worked.





It's mainly designed to help big solar farms keep generating power at night. But anyone can go to their website and fill out a "Sunshine Application". The deadline to apply is October 23rd.





You'll need a pretty big plot of land to get approved though. Each patch of sunlight will be three miles across. So, your neighbors might not be wild about it.





It's not clear how much they're planning to charge, but it won't be cheap. And don't expect to have sunlight 24 hours a day, at least not yet.





For now, you'll only get four minutes' worth of sun. They're hoping to start their initial test run in late 2025.





(Vice / Dexerto)

Was hard to keep this one quiet. Reflect Orbital was created to sell sunlight to thousands of solar farms after dark.Why? Three things:1) We don’t have limit...

IKEA Is Launching a Site to Sell Your Preowned Furniture





If Craigslist still has employees, they're freaking out right now . . .





IKEA is launching a new website where customers will be able to sell their used IKEA furniture.





It's called IKEA Preowned. They're testing it in Spain and Norway through the end of the year, with plans to roll it out to other countries after that.





They already have a small program where they sometimes buy back used stuff and resell it. But this is a peer-to-peer marketplace, where you'll be able to sell your used IKEA crap to other people.





It's got a few bells and whistles to make things easier. Like an A.I.-powered database that adds images and measurements for you. And you'll have the option of being paid in cash, or in IKEA credit with a 15% bonus.





Either way, it might get even easier to toss that old Knutstorp chair up online and see how much you can get for it.

Serve the Public Trust, Protect the Innocent and Gently Pick Berries ... A new version of Robocrop, the world’s first raspberry-picking robot, is set to hit the fields of the UK, Australia, and Portugal over the next year. The first Fieldworker robot was launched five years ago, and now scientists says they've given four-armed machine powered by artificial intelligence an upgrade that can detect more accurately whether a berry is ripe, and can pick fruit faster because its grippers have greater reach and flexibility.

Exclusive: Developers say the Fieldworker robot will soon be in use in the UK, Australia and Portugal

What teachers wish they could say … Imagine if teachers could say anything to parents without any consequences. Five brave teachers shared their unfiltered thoughts:

"You should have read your kids a bedtime story." Bedtime stories are crucial for developing reading skills and empathy. “You should have read your kid bedtime stories and shouldn’t have stopped once the books had chapters," one English teacher wrote.

"Tell your kids no." Setting boundaries at home helps kids behave better in school. "Tell your kids no. Tell them no, often," a teacher advised. "It will not traumatize them."

"You’re the parent. You have to make the hard decisions." Teachers want to teach, not parent. As one teacher said, "You decide bedtime. You decide screen time. Children cannot make these choices yet because they are children. So many parents seem to think 'gentle parenting' means letting them make all the choices, and it just isn’t. Grown-ups have to be grown-ups and do the hard things so kids can be healthy, safe kids."

"You are raising a future adult." "Stop babying your kids!” a teacher implored. "Teach them how to tie their shoes, say 'please and thank you,' and that they aren’t always right and/or in charge!"

"Laziness is learned at home." Many students pick up “lazy” habits, attitudes, and mindsets. "We have exciting plans that keep us busy for 90-minute blocks [at school]," one teacher wrote. "What does 90 minutes spent at home with your child look like?"

"We've said a million things in our heads over the years, but without consequences? I'd say them out loud."

The Ten Most Acceptable Reasons for a Phone Call in 2024





Young people hate phone calls. A recent poll found 23% of people under 35 NEVER answer the phone. So if you're calling them, you better have a good reason.





2,000 people were asked to name the most acceptable reasons for calling someone instead of texting in 2024. Here they are . . .





1. For a general chat. So, you just want to catch up, and you know they're not working. But if they're under 35, you still might want to text first.





2. To inform someone of a DEATH. Still the type of news most of us don't want to get via text.





3. To show support when someone's going through a tough time.





4. To wish them a happy birthday. (And this is why my birthday is the WORST day of the year.)





5. When you're running late. Like you're driving and can't text, or you want to make sure they don't miss your text.





6. To book things, like a hotel or restaurant reservation.





7. To announce positive news. Like, "We're pregnant!"





8. Calling in sick to work.





9. When you're lost or trying to find someone. Like if you're out somewhere trying to meet up.





10. To share a negative health update.





The poll found the average adult in 2024 only spends five-and-a-half minutes a day on the phone now. But if you're young, it's more like zero.





(Uswitch / BBC)

A recent survey found a quarter of people aged 18 to 34 never answer the phone.

THE HIPPO'S QUESTION OF THE DAY;

It’s Labor Day weekend … which means summer is behind us and fall is up ahead. January is typically the time for resolutions, but fall is often a time of fresh starts. Could now be a time to “fall into good habits”?

What is something you’d like to achieve this fall? What is something you’d like to change/give up? What habit would you like to develop before the holidays are here?

Speaking of healthier habits …

Sober September? You’ve heard of Dry January – where people stop drinking for a month after all the holiday celebrations. Well, the latest trend is Sober September. Basically it's a break from booze after all the summer parties and before the upcoming holiday over-indulgence. A Sober September may even help you drop a few pounds before the holidays.

Sober September, the 30-day alcohol-free challenge, can help you reset your drinking patterns. Here are all the benefits of going dry this fall.

John Michael's "Did You Know" for Friday 8/30/24:

Did You Know that The next album in the late Tom Petty's catalog to get the reissue treatment is his fifth one, 1982's Long After Dark?!

Having once said, “There was some music recorded for Long After Dark that didn’t get on the record that I thought would’ve made it a better album," the deluxe edition contains 12 bonus tracks, seven of which are previously unreleased.

Set for release on October 18th, it now includes his version of Rosanne Cash's “Never Be You,” plus “Don’t Make Me Walk the Line,” and an up-tempo version of “Ways To Be Wicked,” which was previously covered by Lone Justice.

Many of the additional tracks are taken from the French TV sessions, including acoustic cuts such as “Turning Point” and The Everly Brothers influenced “Keeping Me Alive.”

And, with this news comes a video of Petty and The Heartbreakers doing "Straight Into Darkness" from the French TV sessions.

“It’s a good little rock & roll record” but also “a tough record because I never knew if we were making the right decisions about songs,” Petty once said.

This new release has been remastered from the original analog master tapes and will be available in numerous configurations, including a limited-edition TomPetty.com two-LP set pressed on 180-gram red with black splatter color vinyl, housed in a numbered foil tip-on jacket with an exclusive lithograph; a three-disc set featuring two CDs, and a Blu-ray audio disc with additional hi-res stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes of the album and bonus tracks; and a variety of additional vinyl options including black and turquoise.

THE HIPPO'S CLASSIC CUTS: I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)

Grand Funk Railroad: "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)"

The Hook: A gift from God.

Year: 1970

Album: Closer to Home

Writer: Mark Farner

Stats: The 10-minute album cut became a progressive rock radio staple and led the album into the Top 10, while an edited single (titled simply "Closer to Home") gave the Michiganders their first Top 40 hit, peaking at number-22.

Background: Sometimes your prayers are answered. Former Grand Funk Railroad frontman Mark Farner explains how he wrote "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)."

Former Grand Funk Railroad frontman Mark Farner writing "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)."
"I prayed one night that God would give me a song that would reach and touch the hearts of people that He would have touched. And I got up at 3:30 in the morning and I couldn't get that ink pen moving fast enough across the paper. I mean, it was just coming at me -- all these words. And I went back to sleep and got up right about 8 o'clock and picked up my guitar that sets in my kitchen. And I started strumming out some chords and I said, 'Hey man, this'll probably go with those words that I got last night.' And sure enough, 'I'm Your Captain' came out of that.

Tie-in: 55 years ago today (August 30th), Grand Funk Railroad was the first band onstage at the Texas International Pop Festival, held near Dallas. Grand Funk served as the opening act for all three days of the event.

National Beach Day
National Toasted Marshmallow Day
National College Colors Day
A good day to go to the beach … and have some S’mores … maybe in your college shirt.

Speaking of going to the beach ... a lot of people will be heading there this Labor Day Weekend. While you’re enjoying the sand and surf, it’s important to remember that there is definitely some etiquette involved. According to a survey, these are the top beach don’ts:

Don’t sit too close to others if there is open space – 58%
Don’t litter – 53%
Don’t shake off/remove sand close to others – 51%
Don’t play music loudly – 40%
Don’t set up your things right in front of others – 39%
Don’t leave kids unattended – 34%
Don’t go heavy on the PDA – 33%
Don’t yell/be obnoxiously loud – 33%
Don’t leave a mess behind – 31%
Don’t stare – 30%
What's your biggest beach pet peeve?

A survey of 2,000 Americans who go to the beach often found that even those who live near the beach don’t tire of it — in fact, they enjoy it nearly as much as those who live further (83% vs. 88%).

THE HIPPO'S QUESTION OF THE DAY:

What simple piece of advice has significantly improved your life? (Reddit)

Some responses:

It's better to ask stupid than to do stupid.

Never accept criticism from someone who you wouldn’t accept advice from.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

You can't keep blaming yourself. Blame yourself once and then move on. From Homer Simpson of all people, but it has been helpful with me moving forward.

Don't compare your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel. It's made me appreciate my own journey and achievements instead of constantly feeling inadequate.

You need to love yourself more than the need to be loved by other people.

Always be mindful of the consequences your actions may bring. That’s what my 3rd grade teacher told me.

Marry the kindest person you know.

Stop working more than 40 hours a week.

Don’t take it personally. The way people act towards you is really about who THEY are, not who you are.

If you don't love yourself, no one will do it for you.

Take care of yourself the same way that you would take care of someone who needs you.

Buy an expensive quality mattress. Your back will thank you.

You can't look at the rear view mirror and the road at the same time.

John Michael's "Did You Know" for Thursday 8/29/24:

Did You Know that The TSA Is Catching Heat for Tweeting "Peanut Butter Is a Liquid?!"





The level of anger these five words have stoked is kind of amazing: The TSA went viral after tweeting that "peanut butter is a liquid."





It's been viewed more than 20 million times in the last few days. The post said, quote, "Peanut butter is a liquid. We said what we said."





They obviously meant to irk people with it. But they really do classify it as a liquid. If you want to carry peanut butter on a plane, it has to be 3.4 ounces or less.





Some nerdy internet sleuths pointed out that technically, peanut butter is NOT a liquid . . . it's a non-Newtonian fluid.





(Or if you really want to get technical, part of a subset of non-Newtonian fluids called Bingham plastics. Toothpaste and mayonnaise are also Bingham plastics. Yum.)





The reactions online have been fun. One person called for a congressional oversight hearing . . . another joked they can no longer wash down their meal "with a nice cold glass of peanut butter" . . . and a third person was blunt with it, telling the TSA, "This is why no one likes you."

Who says dinner has to be after 5? Kids are hungry when they come from school, and sometimes fill up on snacks. So, why not give them dinner instead? That’s the idea behind a new trend that’s gaining traction on social media.

One mom shared a clip on TikTok, showing her kids enjoying an early spaghetti meal. "Does anyone else eat dinner at 4:25 p.m. because your kids asked for a snack and if they had a snack, they wouldn’t eat dinner so you just serve them dinner?" Paige Boyuk captioned her video with more than 2 million views.

Proponents of after-school dinners say it prevents over snacking and meltdowns, and say kids are happier and even sleep better. "I see a substantial difference in their behavior," one mom said of her kids after serving them dinner at 3:45. "They argue less and fall asleep easier," she says. “It’s life-changing."

Talk About It:

Of course, not every parent can do this because of schedules, but it you could (or have), what do you think of these early bird dinners?

“First rule: Eat when hungry.”

THE HIPPO'S CLASSIC CUTS: Conquistador

Procol Harum: "Conquistador"

The Hook: The group's leader was as surprised as anyone that a live, symphonic recording became a hit.

Album: Procol Harum Live in Concert With the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra

Year: 1972

Writers: Gary Brooker and Keith Reid

Stats: Peaked at number-16 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Background: "Conquistador," from Procol Harum's 1967 debut album, wasn't even released as a single. So their late singer and piano player Gary Brooker never expected what happened five years later, when a version included on the group's Live in Concert With the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra album ended up in Billboard's Top 20.

The late Procol Harum singer and pianist Gary Brooker on Procol Harum’s live symphonic version of “Conquistador” becoming a hit.
“I was surprised it was a hit in 1972. I mean, I was surprised as anybody, because it was a live recording and very difficult to control and the sound, I thought, was rather odd. But, uh, there you go.”

Tie-in: Two longtime members of Procol Harum have birthdays today (August 29th). Chris Copping, their bassist and organist from 1969 through '77, turns 79. Guitarist Geoff Whitehorn, who joined in 1991 and ended up as the band's second longest-serving member after the late Gary Brooker, turns 73.

John Michael's "Did You Know" for Wednesday 8/28/24:

Did You Know that If you ever had the desire to portray a rock star, there are people who can teach you how?! Just ask The Bear actor Jeremy Allen White, who is being taught how to be Bruce Springsteen for the film Deliver Me From Nowhere, based on the Warren Zanes book of the same name.

White tells GQ, “I’m really lucky that there’s sort of a team of folks now in place to help young actors portray rock stars. I’ve got a really talented group of people helping me train vocally, musically, to get ready for this thing.”

He adds that Springsteen has also been helpful.

“I’ve had some access to him and he’s just the greatest guy.”

And of course there's YouTube. White says, “It’s really great to go down a YouTube rabbit hole and find him at all these different periods in his life and be able to listen to his speaking voice as well as his singing voice. That’s kind of been the deal, just listening to him a lot and watching him a lot. It’s been really fun preparing.”

No word on when production will get underway.

The Bear star exclusively tells GQ about preparing to play Bruce Springsteen, visiting his own billboard on Houston Street, and what he looks for in a good suit.

Home is where the Hut is ... Moving into a new home can be tough, especially in the beginning when you turn the key and walk into a completely empty space. You're hungry, you have no food, and even if you did, you don't even have a table to eat it on. Well, you may be in luck – because Pizza Hut has come out with something with you in mind. It's called the Moving Box Table. Perhaps inspired by Kramer's coffee table book that turns into a coffee table on Seinfeld, it's a special cardboard pizza box that unfolds into an actual table so that you can eat your pizza before the movers deliver your proper furniture. The Moving Box Table is available now for a limited time and only in select markets that were chosen based on Penske's 2023 Top Moving Destinations list. For more information, visit PizzaHut.com.

THE HIPPO'S CLASSIC CUTS: Like a Hurricane

Neil Young and Crazy Horse: "Like a Hurricane"

The Hook: A song he's performed live for more than 40 years.

Album: American Stars 'n Bars

Year: 1977

Writer: Neil Young

Stats: An edit was released as a single, but didn't chart.

Background: Neil Young wrote "Like a Hurricane" in his car in 1975, recorded it with Crazy Horse for his 1977 American Stars 'n Bars album and has performed it regularly ever since. In fact, it's one of his 10 most-played songs in concert. Young explains why he thinks the song became a live staple for him.

Neil Young on why “Like a Hurricane” continues to be one of his most performed songs in concert.
“I guess it’s just one of those songs that doesn’t have to have a particular time or place. It just describes emotions that are still there, so I can relate to the song, so I can still sing it.”

Tie-In: 45 years ago today (August 28th), Neil Young had two albums certified gold: Decade, his triple-disc best-of, and Rust Never Sleeps. An alternate take of "Like a Hurricane" leads off Side 6 of Decade.

That women do not all have their period at the beginning of the month all around the world at the same time.

That each country does not, in fact, have its own sun.

John Michael's "Did You Know" for Tuesday 8/27/24:

Did You Know that today, Tuesday, August 27th, marks the 45th anniversary of the release of Pat Benatar's debut album, In the Heat of the Night?!

The first single, "If You Think You Know How to Love Me," tanked, but the second, "Heartbreaker," which followed in October 1979, set the table for her becoming a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame -- inducted in 2022.

The album also included a cover of John Mellencamp's "I Need a Lover," which received a lot of airplay on AOR stations (remember them?). And, it was the first song of hers that she heard on the radio.

Pat Benatar says “I Need a Lover” was the first song of hers she ever heard played on the radio.
“It came on and my phone immediately started to ring. And I’d pick it up and I’d go, ‘Yeah, yeah,’ and I’d go, ‘Shut up, hang up so I can listen.’ And then it would just ring and ring and I’d just pick it up and, ‘I know’ and hang it up, ‘I know’ and hang it up. Like that. So I hardly got to hear any of it, but it was pretty incredible. I mean, I had no furniture, I was so broke and poor, and just like everybody starting out. And I was in my apartment with my pillows on the floor and my song was on the radio. It was pretty cool.”

In the Heat of the Night peaked at 12 on the Billboard 200 and has sold over a million copies in the U.S.
