Well Starbucks is making heads turn but we must be quiet about it. That's cause they have there own Starbucks in the CIA in Langley Virginia, and the baristas over there go through a highly extensive and rigorous interview. The background checks are really in depth. Just think if you work there and need to leave your post you must be escorted by one of the agents. There are lots of locations of Starbucks that you can put in your GPS or Google but not this one. I don't think you will see Tom Cruise falling from the sky and getting a cup of coffee in the next movie. And you guessed it right we are pretty sure the are not writing the names on the iconic cups

We pretty much know who the group Black Eyes Peas are, and they do have a female in the group better known as Fergie.. Her real name is Stacy Ann Ferguson better know as Fergie, well before she became a huge Pop Star with the group and a solo artist, she was a child actress and also a member of the children's TV series call Kids Incorporated. So back in 1984 she actually did the voice of Charles M. Schulz and his American cartoon the comic strip call Peanuts. Yes Charlie Brown's fun cartoon. It was there when Fergie did the voice of Sally Brown who happens to be the younger sister of the main kid Charlie Brown. She voiced Sally Brown from 1984 to 1986 on the series. Now Sally Brown has been around for a bit but it's always nice to know when you become a huge star such as Fergie and get to know where she started from.

Well throwing your phone maybe out of anger might get you a prize over in Finland !! Back in the year 2000 it became a sport over there and they set a world record to. A guy named Dries Feremans set it by throwing a cell phone 110 meters ( which comes out to be about 360 feet.) The phones are supplied by the sponsors and you get to pick what phone you want to throw. During the sport you get judged on throwing distance and technique. Now the person throwing the phone has some rules to follow with staying in the throwing area and if they step out of that area the throw will be no pun intended but thrown out. This sport does let men or women do this and even kids can play to at 12 and over. Now when the jury comes in with the final say you can not protest it all. Most of the people who compete do the traditional over the shoulder throw and whomever throws the furthest is the winner. It does have a team of 3 so i say we get a Rat team together and get over to Finland and get it going. And there is no drug test too.

Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed by John Wilks Booth at the Fords Theatre in April of 1865, but he did have a body guard named John Fredrick Parker who was suppose to protect him and make sure he was safe. NOPE he decided during the play to drop everything and go across the street to a place called Star Saloon and grab a drink. That's right he left his post to pretty much get a beer. Just think if he was there how the world might have been changed.

Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream on topic on how they meet and became friends. This is really funny cause they say how they were the biggest and slowest kids in gym class. How unreal is that !! So ice cream, frozen yogurt ,sorbet,it is all good and we can't thank them for all there great flavors. These guys started the company back in 1978 in Burlington Vermont. Little do people know that Jerry comes up with all the flavors not Ben. Its really one of the best ice crams on the market. With all the heat we have been having i sure use some Ben and Jerry's right now. I thank them from the bottom of my heart that they were not the fastest in school , nor the smartest, nor skinny. That's how friends come to be and look how it paid off for them. So raise up a Ben and Jerry's Ice cream and say thank you for everything you guys created. Love all the flavors they share with us too.

ON TODAY'S ONE MORE THING : Ever since the pedometer came out we all think we have to walk 10,000 steps a day !! FALSE and there is no facts that state that but yet where did this fact come from ? Glad you asked, the 10,000 steps a day came from a trade name pedometer sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. It was called "Manpo-Kei" which really means 10,000 steps meter. This took the world by storm and stuck. So every smartwatch, and Fitbit people are setting it to be 10,000 steps a day. Don,t get us wrong walking is good for you but you no need to set your goal at 10,000 steps. That's One More Thing on today's Morning Rat Race. Thank you for always rocking out with 95.9 The Rat.
Today On One More Thing : Mike Tyson tattoo on his face you know the tribal looking one yeah that one. That tat had been copy righted and not by Mike himself but his tattoo artist. As a matter of fact when the movie Hangover 2 came out and Ed Helms better know as Stu woke up from a drunk night as the movie states Hangover 2, and he has the same tat on his face like Mike Tyson, the same tattoo artist that did Mike Tyson's on his face actually sued the production company and won !! So if your thinking of getting the same tat on your face like Mike just think maybe its not a good idea to be like Mike on this one. That's One More Thing on today's Morning Rat Race. Thanks for always rocking out with 95.9 The Rat.
On Today's One More Thing: Today the boys talk about the first belly button on national TV. Dave came up with some great guesses as far as Ginger from Gillgan"s Island and I Dream Of Genie but both wrong! The first time we see a belly button on TV was Cher. Yes the actress and of course singer. It was a landmark move and it took to the air waves in 1975 during The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.
