Speaker 1: Well, look here, it is time for the first Minnesota
Speaker 1: Goodbye of twenty twenty five. Do you like this time
Speaker 1: of the year. This time of the year, I'll be
Speaker 1: real honest with you, is depressing to me. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: the holidays are over, the days are dark and cold.
Speaker 1: It just kind of seems like it's a reminder that
Speaker 1: life ticks by and ticks by and ticks by, and
Speaker 1: so I don't like this time of the year. I'm
Speaker 1: in a good mood right now, yeah, but I just
Speaker 1: don't like this time of the year because it's fucking
Speaker 1: depressing and it's cold, and the holidays are over and
Speaker 1: you have to go back to work.
Speaker 2: I agree about the cold and depressing like weather, because
Speaker 2: this is like the first time.
Speaker 3: I've seen sun.
Speaker 2: It'll week last Saturday, yeah, which is bonkers to me.
Speaker 2: But I've always thought that January is like the longest
Speaker 2: month ever in general.
Speaker 3: It just takes forever for it to pass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I'm nerdy and I coach speech and speech
Speaker 2: starts like this Saturday, so I'm excited for that. But
Speaker 2: that's literally what I have to do in order to
Speaker 2: give my life purpose in the winter time.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I mean I like winter, but I'm also
Speaker 4: a winter sports person with snowboarding. I don't snowboard a
Speaker 4: ton around here though, honestly so I do like it.
Speaker 4: But for me, the reason I like don't have a
Speaker 4: problem with it is because I feel like my personality
Speaker 4: is constant, like you should be doing something all the time,
Speaker 4: like you should be accomplishing something, and the shitty weather
Speaker 4: makes me feel like, cool, you can sit on the
Speaker 4: couch and relax and I don't feel bad about it, okay,
Speaker 4: whereas most other months of the year I will make
Speaker 4: myself feel bad about that. If I'm sitting on the couch,
Speaker 4: I still do it, but then I feel like shit
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 1: The only thing is the thing is we do we
Speaker 1: sit on the couch and then after because I experienced
Speaker 1: that over vacation, it was like, oh man, I've got
Speaker 1: like almost two weeks to do whatever i want, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to do this, and I can clean this,
Speaker 1: I'm need to build this and whatever. And I sat
Speaker 1: on the couch so much and scrolled on my phone.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's you know, that didn't bum
Speaker 1: me out a little bit. We did go to Dave
Speaker 1: and Busters, so that was kind of cool. We got
Speaker 1: out a little bit here and there. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's just that time of the year or you're kind
Speaker 1: of waiting for the cold to go away in the
Speaker 1: days to get longer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not gonna happen anytime soon, which is also depressing.
Speaker 4: And I know that it's like cold and stuff, so
Speaker 4: going outside sounds miserable, but you're gonna feel so much
Speaker 4: better if you do go outside and you do cross
Speaker 4: country skis sometimes still right.
Speaker 1: I haven't done it yet because there's been no snow,
Speaker 1: but yeah, yep.
Speaker 4: Andrew's grandparents just gave us their old snowshoes.
Speaker 3: So and I've always wanted to do They've never.
Speaker 4: Done that before, so I like, I'm definitely going to
Speaker 4: get out and go snowshoeing for the person.
Speaker 1: Let me know if you like it, because that does
Speaker 1: not appeal to me at all. I saw Belinda Jensen
Speaker 1: and Bobby doing it on an old episode they were
Speaker 1: playing replays on Carolevin Saturday, and I'm like, what's the
Speaker 1: appeal of walking in snowshoes?
Speaker 4: Okay, getting out and being able to walk a little
Speaker 4: bit more comfortably without getting your feet. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 4: snowshoes you can still get your feet maybe damp, depending
Speaker 4: on what you're wearing with them.
Speaker 2: I just feel like a little cartoon character and that
Speaker 2: would be enough for me and be like, look at
Speaker 2: me my snowshoe.
Speaker 1: Well, look at that. Here's a pro tip if you
Speaker 1: are not cross country skiing, stay the fuck off of
Speaker 1: the cross country skiing trails. Every time I go cross
Speaker 1: country skiing, unless it's a very specific cross country place,
Speaker 1: there's some yahoo walking along making big old bootprints in
Speaker 1: the cross country ski trail and their grooms specifically so
Speaker 1: you can ski on them. And if you walk on them,
Speaker 1: you're fucking up the trail.
Speaker 3: You're fucking up the trail.
Speaker 1: Fucking it right up. So stay the fuck off of
Speaker 1: the cross country ski trails. And I see people on
Speaker 1: them and I think maybe one time, but I don't
Speaker 1: even if I maybe have made this up in my
Speaker 1: mind that I said, hey, you know what, you got
Speaker 1: to stay off of these. These are not for walking.
Speaker 1: But I don't think I said anything, probably, And I think.
Speaker 4: That it's okay if you do say something to someone, though,
Speaker 4: because I was at Fort Snellian Park Park one time
Speaker 4: and I didn't realize the trail I was on was
Speaker 4: cross country ski trails, because I've never seen those before
Speaker 4: on any hikes I've done, and so I realized the
Speaker 4: trail I should have been on was just like a
Speaker 4: little bit over. So I felt like a jerk and
Speaker 4: I moved, but I didn't know. So if someone would
Speaker 4: have said something to me, I would have understood, you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, because they groomed them. There's like, you know,
Speaker 1: like I don't know, there's a like I say it,
Speaker 1: like stripes or whatever on one side, and then there's
Speaker 1: two what do you call it tracks on this side. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you can whush whush, whush whish, or you do
Speaker 1: the kind where it looks like you're skating where you push,
Speaker 1: you know, with your feet. So anyway, stay the fuck yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, moving on to the next one, or actually
Speaker 1: first one. Hello Jenny and the Morning Zoo. Do you
Speaker 1: remember two thousand and nine, Day was ranting about how
Speaker 1: telekinesis didn't exist and challenged anybody to come down to
Speaker 1: the radio station and move a dice with the power
Speaker 1: of their mind. I was in high school skipping class
Speaker 1: with my best friend. All we heard was move a
Speaker 1: dice with the power of your mind, and we had
Speaker 1: it straight to the station to give it a try.
Speaker 1: We were promptly turned away because we did not hear
Speaker 1: the day was asking for someone to come to the
Speaker 1: studio the next day, not right at that second. We
Speaker 1: had a third friend listening to Katie able to be
Speaker 1: at the time, and we heard you mentioned that people
Speaker 1: were so excited that they were already showing up. Thanks
Speaker 1: for the great memories, all the best, Sean. I do
Speaker 1: remember that, Sean. I don't remember everything when somebody brings
Speaker 1: it up, but I remember a guy came in and
Speaker 1: we put a dice right to where your right elbow is, Bailey,
Speaker 1: and it was a guy probably twenty five thirty years old,
Speaker 1: and he kind of put his hands above the dice
Speaker 1: and sure as shit, that dice flipped over. Really, I
Speaker 1: was amazed. We do it again. I was amazed. And
Speaker 1: then he told me how he did it. Oh, there's
Speaker 1: something the magicians use called invisible thread. And it's like
Speaker 1: it's such a fine, fine, fine thread that you really
Speaker 1: can't see it unless you're right up on it. And
Speaker 1: he had it between his fingers and all he had
Speaker 1: to do was kind of get down underneath the dice
Speaker 1: and kind of flip it all and it looked really
Speaker 1: magical invisible threat.
Speaker 4: When I was younger and I'd be like laying in
Speaker 4: bed but the light was still on. I would like
Speaker 4: pretend and try to like use a power to turn
Speaker 4: the light off from across the room as hard as
Speaker 4: I could, and I still to this day do it.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'd be like, oh, come on, did it never works? No,
Speaker 4: of course, it never works.
Speaker 3: I always try to use the force.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: You get so comfy sometimes you're like I want to
Speaker 4: get up, and so you just look and you're like,
Speaker 4: turn off.
Speaker 2: Oh, I do it with my hand because I put
Speaker 2: my hand out to try and control the force, and
Speaker 2: I think the lights will turn off.
Speaker 3: They don't.
Speaker 5: They do not.
Speaker 3: They never do.
Speaker 1: I don't do that because it would scare me if
Speaker 1: it actually works. And I'm being serious kind of because
Speaker 1: for example, if I was sitting like in the living
Speaker 1: room and I'm like looking at the remote and it's over,
Speaker 1: you know, on the coffee table, and I'm like, remote,
Speaker 1: come to me, and it actually worked, it would scare
Speaker 1: the shit because then it would prove that everything that's
Speaker 1: not possible is real, you know what I mean, everything
Speaker 1: from ghosts to the.
Speaker 5: UFO way, I'm gonna stop trying to use my powers.
Speaker 1: Maybody could ever and nobody ever has, nobody ever has,
Speaker 1: and probably nobody ever will been able to move anything
Speaker 1: with their mind. Now there are people who say they can,
Speaker 1: and there are magicians who say. You ever seen the
Speaker 1: magician trick where they hold a spoon and they use
Speaker 1: their mind to the spoon. Now that's not possible. I've
Speaker 1: actually got that trick at home. I've got several versions
Speaker 1: of that trick. But you think about if somebody could
Speaker 1: move an object with their mind, then everything is possible.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: That makes I think that makes it more exciting because
Speaker 2: that means anything is possible.
Speaker 1: Wow, even very evil stuff.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, the stuff I would think of the evil
Speaker 4: stuff Bailey has, like the positive outlook.
Speaker 5: David and I have the like, oh fuck this bad
Speaker 5: thing that happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh. Hello. My first name is Ali. I'm a
Speaker 1: first time writer. I was listening to the podcast last
Speaker 1: week and heard Jenny talking about the shi WHI. I
Speaker 1: bought a different version called the Go Girl and that
Speaker 1: shit don't work.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: I bought it to use when ice fishing with my
Speaker 1: now husband and in laws. We went off to the
Speaker 1: Lake of the Woods. You stayed in a different house
Speaker 1: close to shore, and then during the day it drove
Speaker 1: miles to the day house to fish. Anyway, I went
Speaker 1: out to go to the bathroom and use the Go
Speaker 1: Girl for zippers on girl jeans do not go down
Speaker 1: far enough, so I had to pull my pants down
Speaker 1: and my ass was sticking out, but my shirt was
Speaker 1: long enough to cover it. And I hate being naked
Speaker 1: in front of strangers, so I just didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: just squat. Then I started peeing. My pea flow was
Speaker 1: too fast for this Go Girl and it overflowed. I'm
Speaker 1: covered in pea from the waist down. So for the
Speaker 1: rest of the day I sat in the night ice
Speaker 1: house covered in pea, and I smelled because it was
Speaker 1: hot in there. Everybody was laughing. I didn't go back
Speaker 1: to change because it was too far to drive and
Speaker 1: I wanted to fish. I do not recommend this to anyone.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. Please send me a sticker ally, thanks
Speaker 1: for the review on the Go Girl.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never heard of that. Only the she we
Speaker 4: have I ever heard of, so I think the Go
Speaker 4: Girl's actually the one that I have. I don't know,
Speaker 4: but I'll give it to you anymore when I find it.
Speaker 4: Once I find it, I will give it to you. You
Speaker 4: can have it. Can I tell you guys that on
Speaker 4: this trip that we took over the holiday, it was
Speaker 4: a lot more difficult to do certain things like maintain
Speaker 4: hygiene and go to the bathroom. And at one night
Speaker 4: we were sitting in the casino parking lot, I had
Speaker 4: to pee so bad. But there's surveillance cameras everywhere, and
Speaker 4: we were staying overnight there. So I had packs just
Speaker 4: in case, like containers, and I use a cool whip
Speaker 4: container like multiple times on that trip to pee in
Speaker 4: and then like just dump it out wherever I could
Speaker 4: once I could, But like you know, you give a
Speaker 4: sample at the doctor, it's warm, so imagine you're living
Speaker 4: in a van slashing around container Like I had a
Speaker 4: cover obviously on it and whatever. But I just I
Speaker 4: felt pretty filthy on this trip. Still loved every second
Speaker 4: of it, but I just like there wasn't as many
Speaker 4: opportunities to keep like the hygiene gud totally.
Speaker 5: That the warm pol that's so gross.
Speaker 1: I read that you would wipe up with like a
Speaker 1: like a wet wipe or whatever. Baby Why yeah, baby wipes.
Speaker 5: We showered once the whole trip.
Speaker 1: I learned this at boy Scout camp that from a
Speaker 1: dentist that said, you can honestly go about ten days
Speaker 1: without brushing your teeth. Now, it might feel gross, but
Speaker 1: you're really not doing any damage to your gums or
Speaker 1: to your teeth. Good for ten days. Because you know,
Speaker 1: the boy Scouts and a lot of the adults too,
Speaker 1: you can't get them to brush their teeth. You know.
Speaker 1: We were in the on the trail for like twelve
Speaker 1: twelve days, Yeah, and I brush my teeth probably five
Speaker 1: days out of that. Yeah, but it was inconvenient whatever.
Speaker 1: But just so you know, if you go ten days
Speaker 1: without brushing your teeth, you're okay.
Speaker 4: That's the easiest thing to do on the road because
Speaker 4: you can just go to a gas station bathroom and
Speaker 4: brush your teeth there. It's just like usually you're not
Speaker 4: just not always having access to bathrooms though. So usually
Speaker 4: you can find a bathroom early in the morning and
Speaker 4: handle something like that. But you never know when you
Speaker 4: have to go to the bathroom. Yep, that just comes
Speaker 4: when it comes. So you might be thirty miles away
Speaker 4: from the closest bathroom and you were just out of
Speaker 4: your coolip container.
Speaker 1: Did you slosh? Did you make a mess?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: No, I was I was pretty good.
Speaker 4: I mean, we do have a toilet in the van,
Speaker 4: but the problem is then we'd have to maintain getting
Speaker 4: rid of the waste, so we try not.
Speaker 5: To use that.
Speaker 1: That's absolutely necessary yet.
Speaker 5: So we just we've never used it once.
Speaker 4: But I don't know, we might have to start using
Speaker 4: it on future trips, especially if we go like snowboarding
Speaker 4: in the van, because that'll be very cold weather. We
Speaker 4: won't be like doing anything outside.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha. I was just remembering something. You made this
Speaker 1: come to mind. When I was a kid, my best
Speaker 1: friend Scott, he had a treehouse. Yeah, and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I put a bathroom in there. And it wasn't a bathroom.
Speaker 1: It was like an infant's potty. Yeah, and so he yeah,
Speaker 1: so I pooped in it. And because he invited me to,
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, brack. And we're probably in second or
Speaker 1: third grade and he said, yeah, I get a toilet
Speaker 1: up there. Now it's an infants potty, which is like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's probably about a foot high with a
Speaker 1: little toilet seat and a little you know, receptacle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like potty training for potty training.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I pooped in it, and I remember
Speaker 1: he thought it was pretty cool that I pooped until
Speaker 1: we had to decide what to do with the product.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's pooping in front of each other all the time,
Speaker 1: And I remember the poor kid. He's like, yeah, i'll
Speaker 1: take care of it. So he carries it down the
Speaker 1: treehouse ladder and then he carries it to a pond
Speaker 1: to throw it in, because of course that's where you
Speaker 1: throw it. And I can still see the look on
Speaker 1: his face. Imagine the look on his face as he's
Speaker 1: carrying a porta potty of his friend's poop to dump
Speaker 1: it in the lake. And at that moment, I'll never
Speaker 1: forget the look on Scott's face. I've never told this
Speaker 1: story before, and I felt so bad for him that
Speaker 1: he was so proud that he had a toilet in
Speaker 1: his tree house, but now he's got to take his
Speaker 1: friend's poop and dump it in the lake.
Speaker 2: Well, I can just imagine him trying to like fling it,
Speaker 2: it gets stuck in the basin and then he has
Speaker 2: to like flick it up.
Speaker 1: I don't remember that happening, but it's very likely Ross
Speaker 1: all right. Next one, Donna writes in from Le Rochester.
Speaker 1: She says, you were talking about crazy things from your childhood,
Speaker 1: and that gave me a memory of having a party line.
Speaker 1: Does anybody remember that? That is where you have multiple
Speaker 1: people on the same phone number. So odd to think
Speaker 1: about that. We did have one when I was a
Speaker 1: little kid. A party line was when phones were fairly
Speaker 1: expensive to have. So you would have a party line
Speaker 1: with your neighbor across the street or up the road,
Speaker 1: and so if you picked it up, it'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you could hear the neighbor talking. They were using the phone,
Speaker 1: so you'd have to hang up and wait till they
Speaker 1: were done.
Speaker 3: Okay, like a communal phone line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, kind of like that. Yeah, I do remember
Speaker 1: that barely. We would also play old school Pong on
Speaker 1: a black and white TV. Lol. Oh, Pong was a
Speaker 1: miracle of modern technology. When I was a kid. You
Speaker 1: would go down to Radio Shack or go down to
Speaker 1: Sears and buy Pong. You know what pong is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the first video game ever invented.
Speaker 1: Pretty much, Yeah, I think so, And we got it
Speaker 1: and it's an actually pretty boring.
Speaker 3: Game, just kind of like tennis.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but it was a miracle that you could
Speaker 1: make something happen on your TV screen, So I definitely
Speaker 1: remember that. One oddball question for everybody, what was the
Speaker 1: food you ate growing up that you don't eat anymore?
Speaker 1: We would have spaghetti sauce on toast. Haven't had that
Speaker 1: in years, and I've got no desire, maybe because noodles
Speaker 1: were expensive. Donna in Rochester, does anybody want to handle
Speaker 1: this one? What food did you eat growing up that
Speaker 1: you don't eat anymore? I would say saltines and peanut butter.
Speaker 2: I mean I eat everything. I was decent eater in general.
Speaker 2: But there was a food when I was growing up.
Speaker 2: It was an Eggo brand, and they were called wah
Speaker 2: fulls and they were like Eggo waffles, but they were
Speaker 2: full of like jam.
Speaker 3: Essentially.
Speaker 2: They were so good. I ate those every single day.
Speaker 2: I would eat them all the time. I would eat
Speaker 2: them for breakfast, lungeon dinner if I could. And they
Speaker 2: discontinued that, so obviously I no longer eat them, and
Speaker 2: I am bitter about it. Every day, delicious full wowfuls
Speaker 2: of jam so good.
Speaker 1: I want you to look up an old food they
Speaker 1: don't make it any more, called jello one two three.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and look it up. Tell me a picture,
Speaker 1: and then describe jello one two three.
Speaker 4: So it's like a multi layered cup with different colors
Speaker 4: of jello.
Speaker 5: I'm assuming it is.
Speaker 1: Ooh yep.
Speaker 5: So it looks delightful.
Speaker 1: It was really good. You would make the jello and
Speaker 1: then it would separate itself into three different flavor texture,
Speaker 1: color layers in a cup, and then you put whipped
Speaker 1: cream on the top. And it was delightful. But they
Speaker 1: discontinued it, So that was one It bumps me out, Jenny.
Speaker 1: Did you eat anything when you were a kid that
Speaker 1: you don't eat now?
Speaker 4: I would say probably pop tarts. I lived off pop
Speaker 4: tarts when I was in high school because my dad,
Speaker 4: when my parents got a divorce, my dad just had
Speaker 4: the most unhealthy food at his house that the whole time.
Speaker 4: So I just got like addicted to pop tarts. And
Speaker 4: I really don't ever ever, I would never go to
Speaker 4: the grocery store and buy those. Maybe on like a
Speaker 4: random ski trip or something, I'm like, you know, it
Speaker 4: sounds good pop tarts, right, grab that to like have
Speaker 4: snacks or something. But I never eat those anymore.
Speaker 1: I used to eat cereal when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you the last time I had cereal.
Speaker 1: It's not that I dislike it. I just don't go, Wow,
Speaker 1: you know it sounds good, A bowl of milk and
Speaker 1: thooty pebbles, Hey, you mind?
Speaker 3: Buy it? I just it just sits.
Speaker 2: It sits in the cupboard, and I'm like, why did
Speaker 2: I buy this freaking cereal? I have so much of
Speaker 2: it just sits around next one.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, beautiful people, Jenny, your openness about mental
Speaker 1: health is just one step closer to destigmatization. Keep normalizing
Speaker 1: what very normal?
Speaker 5: What's very normal?
Speaker 1: What's okay? What's very normal? Thank you for that, vont
Speaker 1: Your ambition that your age is inspiring, Bailey, j You
Speaker 1: have consistently proven your amazing nerdism. Yes that is now
Speaker 1: a word, but your love of culture in theater is admirable.
Speaker 1: You make theater look cool day. Well, you're just Dave Ryan, Okay,
Speaker 1: and that's really all that needs to be said. Now.
Speaker 1: The obligatory pleasantteries pleasantries are out of the way, Dave.
Speaker 1: These boeing incidents seem to be happening more and more
Speaker 1: do you think the urgency on production is taken away
Speaker 1: from the quality of how these planes are being built.
Speaker 1: Here's to a wonderful twenty twenty five from Stacy. I
Speaker 1: don't know enough about it, yeah, but I do think
Speaker 1: that I read something the other day that said it's
Speaker 1: either they cannot hire the best people anymore, or they're
Speaker 1: not able to get the parts, or they're rushing. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but there's definitely a reason for it. But
Speaker 1: I will say, did you see the plane crash that
Speaker 1: happen I think in South Korea over the weekend?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, like one hundred something people died.
Speaker 1: Nearly everybody on the plane died.
Speaker 5: Wasn't there a few in the last week?
Speaker 4: I read the most about the one where it slid
Speaker 4: off the runway and crashed.
Speaker 1: Yep. There was probably another one. It might have been
Speaker 1: in Russia, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's not.
Speaker 1: Been a major plane crash really in the world in
Speaker 1: a long time, And there's not been a major plane
Speaker 1: crash in the United States in many years, like a
Speaker 1: decade or more. When I was growing up and into
Speaker 1: the seventies, eighties, and nineties, there was a major plane
Speaker 1: crash in the US probably once a year, wow, where
Speaker 1: several hundred people would die once a year or so,
Speaker 1: and anymore, there's just not And I could get into
Speaker 1: some of the reasons why. I'll give you one of
Speaker 1: the most interesting ones. It used to be that it
Speaker 1: was considered very very bad form and professionalism to question
Speaker 1: the captain. So, in other words, if you see the
Speaker 1: captain is tired and making wrong decisions, it used to
Speaker 1: be you did not question the captain. He or she's
Speaker 1: word was God. But then they said that's leading to
Speaker 1: a lot of accidents where people are afraid to question
Speaker 1: the captain and say, captain, you can't do that because
Speaker 1: then they could get fired, or it's just what it
Speaker 1: was culturally wrong. So now they encouraged the first officer
Speaker 1: to say, hey, captain, we shouldn't be doing this. So
Speaker 1: now you've got two minds in the cock instead of one.
Speaker 3: Means and balances.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so, but that's all I know about that. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 4: There was so much flying over the holidays, so I
Speaker 4: saw so many people commenting like, why did I just
Speaker 4: see this news article as I'm in the airport ready
Speaker 4: to fly, like about the big crashes and stuff. I
Speaker 4: probably would have been stressed. If I was flying over
Speaker 4: the holidays with all these crashes that have been happening,
Speaker 4: I would have no doubt thought like I was not
Speaker 4: going to survive next this is it.
Speaker 1: Well, Carson was a little bit nervous. He flew back
Speaker 1: to la on Tuesday morning, and he's like, there have
Speaker 1: been a lot of plane crashes lately. And I explained
Speaker 1: to him, I said, you know what, there really aren't.
Speaker 1: They're so insignificant now you can't even really think about it.
Speaker 3: Seems like there's a lot because we're hearing about them.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: But in the grand scheme of how many planes are
Speaker 2: in the sky on every single day, there's not that many.
Speaker 1: It is true, all right that This is from Andrew,
Speaker 1: Hello and happy New Year from Ohio. I was listening
Speaker 1: to podcast over the break. Wanted to comment on bad
Speaker 1: teachers and urban legends. First, bad teachers. When I was
Speaker 1: in first grade, we had a lot of substitutes because
Speaker 1: they hadn't hired enough teachers or something like that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: my mom would pick me up from school at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, and one day by teacher came
Speaker 1: to talk to her. The teacher said, to my mom,
Speaker 1: with his straight face, completely serious, do you think Andrew
Speaker 1: might be blind? And my mother laughed and said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we'd probably know that by now. The reason
Speaker 1: she asked, apparently was because I had bad handwriting and
Speaker 1: wouldn't hold my pencil the proper way, So apparently that
Speaker 1: makes me blind. I will say, and I think that
Speaker 1: teachers will probably agree with this one. Most teachers are wonderful,
Speaker 1: but there's a lot that slipped through the cracks, and
Speaker 1: I think it's probably because they have trouble hiring enough teachers,
Speaker 1: so they'll hire anybody that's a hard job. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they don't make a lot of money, so there probably
Speaker 1: are some bad teachers. It's kind of funny that she said,
Speaker 1: is he blind because he used handwriting was bad? Urban
Speaker 1: legends was interesting the one I was going to mention.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's actually an urban legend, but
Speaker 1: my wife and I were eating apples the other day
Speaker 1: and I told her, you know, before they had toothbrushes,
Speaker 1: people would eat apples to clean their teeth, and she said,
Speaker 1: no way, it's not true. But I googled it and
Speaker 1: confirmed apples are nature's toothbrush because of the texture However,
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you should do this in replacement of
Speaker 1: brushing and flossing anyway, That's all. I hope you haven't
Speaker 1: all right New Year Andrew in Ohio.
Speaker 4: I feel like either you've said that before about apples
Speaker 4: or maybe my my boyfriend Andrew has said that before,
Speaker 4: because I've definitely heard that about apples.
Speaker 1: I've heard it somewhere. It makes sense because of the texture.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're delicious.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: One of the greatest inventions ever, the toothbrush. Oh can
Speaker 1: you imagine what they used before that? A piece of bark.
Speaker 2: That's what they do on Survivor. They like scrape their
Speaker 2: teeth with pieces of like twigs.
Speaker 1: Really going to do something?
Speaker 5: Yeah, given?
Speaker 3: Oh no, have you ever seen them like scraping their teeth.
Speaker 5: I think they just do that because, oh, it's to
Speaker 5: brush their teeth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're bored, so I'm gonna stick in my No.
Speaker 3: I think it's yeah, they're rudimentary toothbrush.
