Today we'll dive into the world of a legendary tabletop game and a fizzy drink that's earned a place in our everyday lives. Do you love to start the day with a smile? Join the celebration nation by picking up your very own National Day Calendar. Visit our website, nationaldaycalendar.com, for our full color printed guide to all the fun and unusual ways to celebrate every day. Monopoly, a game we all associate with high stakes property trading and family fun has a rich history. It was originally designed to demonstrate the negatives of lamb monopoly, full of unresolved property battles, unexpected windfalls, and the ever-loomy threat of bankruptcy. Monopoly, along with its iconic game pieces, has since captured the hearts of millions. A national play monopoly day rolled the dice, passco, and remember this classic game started with a simple educational tool. "One day, one day, one day, mostly fun day, in the richness world. Money, money, money, always Sunday." I told you I want the wheelbarrow, right? Wheelbarrow. I'm usually the car. So you're okay with that. You like to zip around the corner and listen. That's right. That's how I wind up in jail so I'm sure. I know I want to play against, you know. Imagine a world without your favorite caffeinated refreshment. Difficult, right? Carbonation was first added to beverages in the late 18th century as a method to replicate natural mineral waters believed to be good for health. The addition of caffeine came later, but the creation of drinks designed to invigorate and refresh. From those early health tonics evolved a bustling industry of fizzy drinks that keep us company during late night study sessions, long drives, or just while enjoying a quiet afternoon. A national carbonated beverage with caffeine day, remember to savor the fizz and the boost that makes these beverages a staple in our lives. Hold on one second. Okay, I'm caffeinated. Let's go. And love that you have one. I'm ready to go. Just needed to be uncapped. I love it. I'm Chris Vandeventure. I'm Marlo Anderson. Thank you for joining us on our journey to celebrate every day. And join us for all of our adventures on Facebook and Instagram, a destination celebration show. Until next time, keep celebrating. Now let's see who's celebrating on the birthday club. I've got the names right here for the 19th. And only three names today. Happy birthday to Roger Smith. He's 80. Oh, this is a big one. Susie Murphy and Byron Curry. Happy birthday to all of you. That's Roger Smith, Susie Murphy and Byron Curry. Now tomorrow, I'll have names for the 20th, of course. So go ahead and get those in. Got a bunch for the rest of November. I'm taking all of those now through the end of the month and December birthdays. Text them to me anytime at 336-932-1881. Tomorrow will be our last program for the week. I'll tell you more about that in the morning, getting a little family time in. I guess we can say it that way. Sure. Yeah. Taking a little early Thanksgiving break. But more about that in the morning. And I'll be catching up on the birthday club and when I get back in the studio. But more tomorrow. Now some big name birthdays today. Let's see here.
