## Resource

Why are some McDonald’s arches blue instead of gold? On this episode of the 3 Wheel Bicycle Podcast, I dig into the story behind the Blue McDonald’s arches, recap Arts in the Park, and talk about what’s happening around Casper, Wyoming. I also get into the strange Britney Spears Mandela Effect, bizarre vending machine toys from other countries, a Yankees fan who decided to sue, and a Florida teacher who got fired. Plus, I talk about Kristi Noem, the former governor of South Dakota, and a gnome statue, share a few movie reviews, and point out a Training Day Easter egg you may have missed. Strange stories, questionable memories, movies, local topics, and plenty of laughs—it’s another unpredictable ride on the 3 Wheel Bicycle Podcast. I talk, you wonder why?
