Speaker 1: Shortage of dumb people doing really stupid things. Welcome to
Speaker 1: another edition of idiotology.
Speaker 2: We'll let your taco one O one one w jr R.
Speaker 2: But your freaking idiots all right. This hour brought to
Speaker 2: you by another Pick your ticket Thursday on the JRR Instagram.
Speaker 2: You have all day to swing by there. If you
Speaker 2: want to get involved with this, you.
Speaker 1: Can win tickets to a big JARR shows like Welcome
Speaker 1: to Rockville, Deftones, a whole bunch of shows. Again, if
Speaker 1: you're not following us on Instagram, it's at one O
Speaker 1: one one w jr R. Man, tell me that wasn't
Speaker 1: perfect timey. I'm kind of out of breath. I had
Speaker 1: to run down and mail some more BWO stuff out.
Speaker 2: I noticed another influx of requests came in yesterday. Thank
Speaker 2: you for fulfilling those. Yeah, handled mailman, Bob. That's it.
Speaker 2: I wear a million hats.
Speaker 1: You know how I do it. If you need your
Speaker 1: BWO stick or you can get them in person here
Speaker 1: regular business during the.
Speaker 2: Week, or.
Speaker 1: Mail usay self dress stamped envelope. If you're going for this,
Speaker 1: what is BWO That means you're newer to the show.
Speaker 1: That's a bomb world order. It's a grassroots movement. We'll
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about it at a future date. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably later today at some point comes up every day,
Speaker 1: of course, because there's retail theft every day. So I
Speaker 1: got to take care of it with BWL.
Speaker 2: One of the most dangerous toys of all time just
Speaker 2: sold at an online auction for thirteen thousand dollars. Blond Darts.
Speaker 2: No that, I'm gonna get to those in a second.
Speaker 2: But while those have their own unique charm, you probably
Speaker 2: have never heard of this unless you're eighty something years old,
Speaker 2: because it was a toy that came out and was
Speaker 2: only available for two years in nineteen fifty and nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty one. The guy who was behind you remember Arector sets? Yeah,
Speaker 2: that it Well, it was the same person who came
Speaker 2: up with those. He rolled out a new science kit
Speaker 2: for kids in nineteen fifty.
Speaker 1: Director sets were like where you build stuff?
Speaker 2: Correct? Correct? Yes. The guy who was behind that idea
Speaker 2: had a new science kit that he offered in nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty called the Gilbert You two thirty eight Atomic Energy Lab.
Speaker 2: Oh God, and it came with actual uranium genius for kids.
Speaker 2: It had four glass jars, each with a small amount
Speaker 2: of radioactive material inside, so you could use a Geiger
Speaker 2: counter to test the radiation levels right at home.
Speaker 1: Kids, Now, this is the fifties, when you know they
Speaker 1: sent you to school with a pack of SIGs too.
Speaker 2: It wasn't really all that dangerous as long as you
Speaker 2: didn't open the jars, but just the act of playing
Speaker 2: with it still exposed you to basically the amount of
Speaker 2: radiation you would get from being out in a full
Speaker 2: day of sun.
Speaker 1: It only causes danger if you open the jars. What
Speaker 1: do kids do?
Speaker 2: They're curious exactly after they There were less than five
Speaker 2: thousand of these things that were sold between nineteen fifteen
Speaker 2: and fifty one, so getting one now, much less in
Speaker 2: mint condition, it is next to impossible. Thus the thirteen
Speaker 2: thousand dollars sale price for the online auction that just
Speaker 2: ended yesterday for the record taco, you nailed it. Most
Speaker 2: folks would agree that the Gilbert U two thirty eight
Speaker 2: Atomic Energy Lab does sound quite daunting and dangerous as
Speaker 2: a toy, much less just an entity and in itself,
Speaker 2: but it pales in comparison to the infamous lawn darts,
Speaker 2: which Radar Magazine named the most dangerous toy of all
Speaker 2: time lawn darts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody just texts in lawn darts immediately came to
Speaker 1: my mind too.
Speaker 2: M god, those were the best. Those were the best, dude.
Speaker 1: It seems like about four times a year we'll go
Speaker 1: down memory lane of the day different things. Long darts
Speaker 1: had to take number one, and then then the slipping
Speaker 1: slide because you'd always have to juice it up with
Speaker 1: some soap and.
Speaker 2: In the mix there, let's not forget croquet and croquet
Speaker 2: mallets that at some point you stopped using the wooden
Speaker 2: mallets to smash the balls with and you're smashing your
Speaker 2: friend's head with the mountain. Yeah. It was just it
Speaker 2: was a backyard corner copy of death traps.
Speaker 1: Or hitting that ball as hard as you could square
Speaker 1: at their shin. You remember, if you went, if you
Speaker 1: went underneath it enough, it was like hitting a wedge,
Speaker 1: like a sand wedge on the golf course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get that sucker airboard you launch it.
Speaker 1: And the other one, obviously, I mentioned the slipping slide
Speaker 1: because somebody's always gonna come up, you know, and and
Speaker 1: put it too close to a sidewalk or the road,
Speaker 1: and then and then soap it up and you're going
Speaker 1: right out in there.
Speaker 2: That, upon retrospect is probably u adding the uh, the
Speaker 2: detergent was just needless. I know, of course didn't need to.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: You were already sliding so fast anyway. Then there was
Speaker 1: just your regular park slide in floors, steel slide, just
Speaker 1: dog birds in summer.
Speaker 2: You know, those of those of you who are around
Speaker 2: our age. We didn't think even twice about that stuff,
Speaker 2: much less considerate dangerous, and looking back, I would say
Speaker 2: it was more like character building toys, character building toughness.
Speaker 1: Somebody said, click clacks. Do you remember why? I gotta
Speaker 1: google that because that rings a bit.
Speaker 2: It does ring a bell, but I'm not quite sure
Speaker 2: what that is.
Speaker 1: I think that's what we called big shoes. We call
Speaker 1: them clackers, all right.
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Constipation these things, Yeah, it's like the handle with the
Speaker 1: two balls. They go and they bounced together. You hit
Speaker 1: somebody with those, Okay, constipation.
Speaker 2: This is you know, where the heart of what we
Speaker 2: do every morning for five hours comes into play, and
Speaker 2: that is public service constipation. Hack As constipation is a
Speaker 2: common problem, what's their hack? This doctor is getting a
Speaker 2: bunch of attention, suggesting that to get things moving, you
Speaker 2: simply move like a cow, basically a variation of a
Speaker 2: breathing technique that he says activates your vegus nerve, the
Speaker 2: large nerve that connects your brain to your vital organs.
Speaker 2: And he says mooing increases the internal pressure in your
Speaker 2: body much like squatting does, and it tells your colon
Speaker 2: to get things moving. And he did, you know, concede
Speaker 2: that if you don't want people to think you're absolutely nuts,
Speaker 2: you can also just pretend to blow bubble or blow
Speaker 2: out a candle, which both of those movements will also
Speaker 2: supposedly activate your vegas nerve and can move. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: tell you, could you do a little pucker when you
Speaker 2: do that? Try it? I just I just went a minute.
Speaker 2: Move you get a little pucker going down in that region.
Speaker 1: I didn't do it deep enough. I don't think I
Speaker 1: told you. I just went to the restroom. Somebody texted
Speaker 1: and well, I won't read it a sponsor rights, but
Speaker 1: I was thinking just instead of mowing in the bathroom
Speaker 1: and look like a full of a good old six
Speaker 1: pack old Milwaukee, I'd usually take care of constellation.
Speaker 2: Finally, we want to tell you about scrim I think
Speaker 2: his name is Yes, Scrim. I got more on Scrim
Speaker 2: over on a jr Facebook page and a Lunch and
Speaker 2: Taco blog at w JR dot com. Scrim is basically
Speaker 2: being described as a fugitive dog now a folk hero
Speaker 2: in the New Orleans area. This dog has been on
Speaker 2: the run on and off for months, roaming the streets
Speaker 2: of New Orleans, and they have been trying it's it's
Speaker 2: just a stray dog, okay, And I guess Scrim was
Speaker 2: originally located probably belonged to somebody in a trailer park,
Speaker 2: they think, and he hung around there for a while,
Speaker 2: but then found his way into the various areas of
Speaker 2: New Orleans and has been a common sight. They've been
Speaker 2: trying to capture him, and they did at one point
Speaker 2: where they actually had Scrim in a foster home, only
Speaker 2: for him to escape by jumping out. Taco. The dog
Speaker 2: jumped out of a second story window and is on
Speaker 2: the lamb again. I felt like I was gut punched.
Speaker 2: I felt like it wasn't real. We had a great time.
Speaker 2: He laid on the couch with me, He fell asleep
Speaker 2: in my lap and he slept in bed with me.
Speaker 2: We gave him a bath. Yeah, he was just he
Speaker 2: was lulling you into a false sense of security.
Speaker 1: Oscar pet lady, Yep, And then you leave the window
Speaker 1: up and against some of that New Orleans cooler air and.
Speaker 2: Look for the opportunity.
Speaker 1: He's gone scrimlest what's the name scrim Did they explain that?
Speaker 2: No, it's a seventeen pound mutt. That's mainly terrier. People
Speaker 2: have gotten. There's tattoos people have gotten this dog. There's
Speaker 2: t shirts that have been made. He has avoided. He
Speaker 2: has avoided those nets that the dog catchers will try
Speaker 2: to shoot over, you know, a dog to catcher. He's
Speaker 2: eluded dart guns, dark gun. No, he's dodged it all in.
Speaker 1: A long dart that'll take care of scrim.
Speaker 2: Well, no, don't no.
Speaker 1: Somebody said we call it slip and bleed. Slip and bleed.
Speaker 1: Somebody else said they used to put crisco all over
Speaker 1: the bottom of their their sleds.
Speaker 2: Think about that. I don't know anything about northern living
Speaker 2: in wintertime stuff, so I wouldn't know. It sounds we
Speaker 2: equally as dangerous.
Speaker 1: We did it on restaurant trays up in Colorado.
Speaker 2: Remember it doesn't make us ten percent sluid I I
Speaker 2: am just drunken idiots I think was what that was
Speaker 1: Just one on one one w j r R, Orlando's
Speaker 1: rock station,
