TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: News anchor puts his enormous tie collection to good use
If you’re dad is anything like this guy he probably has a closet full of ties he never uses. Well, this is one great way to clear some out while helping people at the same time.
There is a local news anchor in Spokane, Washington named Tim Pham who has you can imagine has A LOT of neckties from wearing suits to work for years. About 250 to be exact. So he decided to start giving them away on his social media pages to young people going on job interviews, starting new jobs, etc… for them to look nice and make good first impressions. His story has a ton of buzz including a feature in USA Today. It’s even inspired others to do the same thing with their ties!
So if you’re Dad needs a good idea for his collection maybe he can join the fun.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do Miss Piggy and Yoda sounds so similiar?
You might already know this if you’re a big fan of the Muppets and Star Wars, but if not I’m about to blow your mind.
A lot of people point out that Miss Piggy and Yoda have a very similar sound to their voice. There’s a good reason for that… it’s the same guy! Famous puppeteer Frank Oz voiced both characters as well as Cookie Monster and Fozzie The Bear. Now you’re thinking of all their voices and saying “wow, it’s true they do all sound alike!”
When he retired from doing Muppets in 2000 he said he always misses it because he had such a connection creating those characters and bringing them to life.
