Useless information is something that many of us like to know, and even more-so, love to share! Gatherers of useless info often start a sentence with 'Did you know...' and ultimately feel quite smug when whomever they're in a conversation with in fact did not know whatever it was the useless-info-lover was talking about. It turns out that the Early Breakfast listeners are these people. They have plenty of seemingly random, quite useless pieces of information, and they were more than happy to share their facts* with us this morning.
*we use the word 'fact' very lightly. Many of these aren't even remotely true.
