Today, we're bidding adieu to a 49-year-old vacuum named Beth. Yes... we're serious. U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa has announced the death of his trusty tan Hoover vacuum cleaner with a burgundy cloth dust bag. It's a funny story, but it got us thinking about the names we tend to give random objects. So what inanimate objects have you given a name to? A car, a house, perhaps your toaster? Greg and Holly have a fun discussion reading listener text responses.
