23
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 1>That's a bomb world order. It's a grassroots movement. We'll

24
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk more about it at a future date. Yeah,

25
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 1>probably later today at some point comes up every day,

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>of course, because there's retail theft every day. So I

27
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>got to take care of it with BWL.

28
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>One of the most dangerous toys of all time just

29
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>sold at an online auction for thirteen thousand dollars. Blond Darts.

30
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>No that, I'm gonna get to those in a second.

31
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 2>But while those have their own unique charm, you probably

32
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 2>have never heard of this unless you're eighty something years old,

33
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>because it was a toy that came out and was

34
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 2>only available for two years in nineteen fifty and nineteen

35
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>fifty one. The guy who was behind you remember Arector sets? Yeah,

36
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>that it Well, it was the same person who came

37
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>up with those. He rolled out a new science kit

38
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 2>for kids in nineteen fifty.

39
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Director sets were like where you build stuff?

40
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Correct? Correct? Yes. The guy who was behind that idea

41
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 2>had a new science kit that he offered in nineteen

42
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>fifty called the Gilbert You two thirty eight Atomic Energy Lab.

43
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, and it came with actual uranium genius for kids.

44
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 2>It had four glass jars, each with a small amount

45
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>of radioactive material inside, so you could use a Geiger

46
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 2>counter to test the radiation levels right at home.

47
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Kids, Now, this is the fifties, when you know they

48
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 1>sent you to school with a pack of SIGs too.

49
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't really all that dangerous as long as you

50
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 2>didn't open the jars, but just the act of playing

51
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 2>with it still exposed you to basically the amount of

52
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 2>radiation you would get from being out in a full

53
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 2>day of sun.

54
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 1>It only causes danger if you open the jars. What

55
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>do kids do?

56
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:09.879
<v Speaker 2>They're curious exactly after they There were less than five

57
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>thousand of these things that were sold between nineteen fifteen

58
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 2>and fifty one, so getting one now, much less in

59
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 2>mint condition, it is next to impossible. Thus the thirteen

60
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars sale price for the online auction that just

61
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>ended yesterday for the record taco, you nailed it. Most

62
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>folks would agree that the Gilbert U two thirty eight

63
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Atomic Energy Lab does sound quite daunting and dangerous as

64
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>a toy, much less just an entity and in itself,

65
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 2>but it pales in comparison to the infamous lawn darts,

66
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>which Radar Magazine named the most dangerous toy of all

67
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 2>time lawn darts.

68
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, somebody just texts in lawn darts immediately came to

69
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>my mind too.

70
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>M god, those were the best. Those were the best, dude.

71
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 1>It seems like about four times a year we'll go

72
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>down memory lane of the day different things. Long darts

73
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>had to take number one, and then then the slipping

74
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>slide because you'd always have to juice it up with

75
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>some soap and.

76
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>In the mix there, let's not forget croquet and croquet

77
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 2>mallets that at some point you stopped using the wooden

78
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 2>mallets to smash the balls with and you're smashing your

79
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>friend's head with the mountain. Yeah. It was just it

80
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 2>was a backyard corner copy of death traps.

81
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Or hitting that ball as hard as you could square

82
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>at their shin. You remember, if you went, if you

83
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>went underneath it enough, it was like hitting a wedge,

84
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>like a sand wedge on the golf course.

85
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you get that sucker airboard you launch it.

86
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>And the other one, obviously, I mentioned the slipping slide

87
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 1>because somebody's always gonna come up, you know, and and

88
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 1>put it too close to a sidewalk or the road,

89
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 1>and then and then soap it up and you're going

90
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:55.639
<v Speaker 1>right out in there.

91
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 2>That, upon retrospect is probably u adding the uh, the

92
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 2>detergent was just needless. I know, of course didn't need to.

93
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

94
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 1>You were already sliding so fast anyway. Then there was

95
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>just your regular park slide in floors, steel slide, just

96
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>dog birds in summer.

97
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, those of those of you who are around

98
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 2>our age. We didn't think even twice about that stuff,

99
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>much less considerate dangerous, and looking back, I would say

100
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 2>it was more like character building toys, character building toughness.

101
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 1>Somebody said, click clacks. Do you remember why? I gotta

102
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>google that because that rings a bit.

103
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>It does ring a bell, but I'm not quite sure

104
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>what that is.

105
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what we called big shoes. We call

106
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>them clackers, all right.

107
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

108
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Constipation these things, Yeah, it's like the handle with the

109
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>two balls. They go and they bounced together. You hit

110
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 1>somebody with those, Okay, constipation.

111
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>This is you know, where the heart of what we

112
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>do every morning for five hours comes into play, and

113
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 2>that is public service constipation. Hack As constipation is a

114
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>common problem, what's their hack? This doctor is getting a

115
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>bunch of attention, suggesting that to get things moving, you

116
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:35.639
<v Speaker 2>simply move like a cow, basically a variation of a

117
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>breathing technique that he says activates your vegus nerve, the

118
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>large nerve that connects your brain to your vital organs.

119
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>And he says mooing increases the internal pressure in your

120
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 2>body much like squatting does, and it tells your colon

121
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 2>to get things moving. And he did, you know, concede

122
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 2>that if you don't want people to think you're absolutely nuts,

123
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 2>you can also just pretend to blow bubble or blow

124
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>out a candle, which both of those movements will also

125
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 2>supposedly activate your vegas nerve and can move. Yeah, I

126
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 2>tell you, could you do a little pucker when you

127
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 2>do that? Try it? I just I just went a minute.

128
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Move you get a little pucker going down in that region.

129
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do it deep enough. I don't think I

130
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 1>told you. I just went to the restroom. Somebody texted

131
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 1>and well, I won't read it a sponsor rights, but

132
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.399
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking just instead of mowing in the bathroom

133
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and look like a full of a good old six

134
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>pack old Milwaukee, I'd usually take care of constellation.

135
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Finally, we want to tell you about scrim I think

136
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 2>his name is Yes, Scrim. I got more on Scrim

137
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 2>over on a jr Facebook page and a Lunch and

138
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Taco blog at w JR dot com. Scrim is basically

139
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>being described as a fugitive dog now a folk hero

140
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 2>in the New Orleans area. This dog has been on

141
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.279
<v Speaker 2>the run on and off for months, roaming the streets

142
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.439
<v Speaker 2>of New Orleans, and they have been trying it's it's

143
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>just a stray dog, okay, And I guess Scrim was

144
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:21.160
<v Speaker 2>originally located probably belonged to somebody in a trailer park,

145
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.800
<v Speaker 2>they think, and he hung around there for a while,

146
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 2>but then found his way into the various areas of

147
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans and has been a common sight. They've been

148
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 2>trying to capture him, and they did at one point

149
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 2>where they actually had Scrim in a foster home, only

150
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.879
<v Speaker 2>for him to escape by jumping out. Taco. The dog

151
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 2>jumped out of a second story window and is on

152
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>the lamb again. I felt like I was gut punched.
