“Et Cetera”

EP.35: The Season 2 Finale of Unfit For Radio delivers exactly what the title promises: a little bit of everything… and then some.

JAYKERS is joined by the full UFR family, RAY and STEPHANIE, for a completely unfiltered, off-the-wall episode packed with unscripted moments, spontaneous conversations, and unpredictable comedy. This is raw podcast energy at its best. No script, no filter, just real people having real conversations.

This episode captures what Unfit For Radio does best: comedy podcast banter, real-life storytelling, improv-style segments, and authentic independent podcast energy.

It kicks off with a cold open that somehow starts with JAYKERS’ Taco Bell mini taco salad and quickly spirals into storytelling, random trivia, and hilarious tangents. RAY brings structured chaos with interactive segments, while STEPHANIE adds a sharp, honest perspective that keeps things grounded, until it doesn’t.

Along the way, the crew shouts out listeners across 40+ countries and 150+ cities worldwide, plays a wild round of “One of These Is a Lie,” and dives into everything from ironic life moments and “unwritten” TV rules to lucky finds, clean limericks, and unforgettable personal stories.

Whether you’re discovering the show for the first time or you’ve been riding with UFR from the beginning, this is the perfect Season 2 sendoff and a strong introduction to what makes the podcast stand out.

Season 3 returns August 2026. And yeah… don’t be surprised if a few bonus episodes drop along the way. Stay locked in..

Transcript

SPEAKER_05 0:00

Ray, you're not gonna believe what happened to Jake the other day. Ray, you won't believe what happened to me the other day. Holy smokes! I was at Taco Bell. Yeah, tell me all about it. I want to try something new. So I got this taco. It's called a mini taco salad. Okay. So good. They should have put the emphasis on mini. I mean, I don't normally get these taco salad things, but when they say mini taco salad, it was like a chip.

SPEAKER_01 0:27

Well, picture, picture, explain to people what taco salad is. Taco salad's supposed to be like a bowl. It's like a like a tortilla that's shaped like a like a bowl, right? Yeah. Deep fried.

SPEAKER_05 0:38

So I'm assuming, like, okay, it's not gonna be the ginormous one you see at the restaurant. That mini taco salad's gonna look like, you know, maybe a bowl of iceberg or something. Okay. This thing was tinier than my hand. I was showing Stephanie some pictures. I think she was even there with me. I was taking pictures rather than that thing was like a chip.

SPEAKER_06 0:59

Like a whole entire chip with my god, just some toppings on it.

SPEAKER_05 1:04

I would feel like I got cheated. Oh, I it was a freebie deal on my app, so I didn't really pay for it. But man! They should put the emphasis on mini. It was like a like one bite and it's gone. Yes, exactly. Oh, okay, that's that's miniature. I could not believe it. Okay, this world is getting tinier and tinier. It is. Imagine if you paid for it. Welcome to Unfit for Radio with Jakers. That's me, your blonde, Polish, and dyslexic host. And today, it's the season two finale. And we're not doing it alone. We've got the whole UFR family in the building. First up is Ray, the voice of reason and the senior star of the UFR Bunch, Mr. Ray. Thanks so much for being here. As always, welcome, dude. How are you doing?

SPEAKER_06 2:00

I'm glad to be here. I'm glad it's the finale, but I'm also sad that it's the finale. We'll just take a short break and we'll be back shortly.

SPEAKER_05 2:08

Yeah, we can still do some recordings over the summer and and uh keep it fresh and ready. So when we come back in August, you know, we're ready to go. And next up though, we got uh joining us here is my better half Mexican style. You've heard her m in many episodes before. Stephanie, I love you. Thank you for being here with us.

SPEAKER_01 2:29

Jake, I am so excited for this episode. I'm so excited that it's uh it's the the end of the season, but that means the beginning of a new season. And to think of all the different um episodes that you've had in between, it's amazing.

SPEAKER_05 2:44

Episode 35. I can't believe it. When Ray and I was first starting this out, and say episode two, we're looking back on. If somebody would have said you're gonna have like another 30 on top of this, I would have been like, no way. No, no way.

SPEAKER_06 2:59

No way, I'm not that creative. That's impossible. But I have had so much fun going back and listening to these things after we record them. They're just some of them are just hilarious.

SPEAKER_05 3:10

I don't know where my creativity comes from, but I am so glad some people enjoy it, and I get to enjoy it with them, so that's pretty that's pretty awesome.

SPEAKER_06 3:22

Hey Jacks, can I introduce the next part?

SPEAKER_05 3:25

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 3:26

Is that all right with you? Hey, take it away. Okay. Um as you know, I know a little bit about a lot of topics. You know a little bit about a lot of bit. About a lot of bit, yes. And so I the other day I was thinking and I said, I'd like to play a game with Jakers. I would like you to come up with five topics or subjects and feed them to me one at a time, and I will use my vast store of knowledge to give you a piece of trivia about each one or tell you a true story about each one. Okay, that's you're putting me on the spot here, but uh I'm putting you on the spot.

SPEAKER_05 4:08

This was your idea.

SPEAKER_06 4:09

Oh, it was my idea, putting me on the spot. Oh, yeah. Now, this is totally unrehearsed, and I have no idea what you're going to come up with.

SPEAKER_05 4:17

Alright, so I just pick anything out of the thin air, and you're gonna tell me something about it.

SPEAKER_06 4:22

Either a piece of trivia or a true story, yes.

SPEAKER_05 4:24

A piece of trivia or a true story. Um piece of trivia, true story.

SPEAKER_06 4:30

JFK. JFK, yes. Um I'm old enough to remember uh the day that he was shot, and we were in school, and uh they made the announcement on the uh PA system, and then they dismissed the school uh for the day so we could go home, and then I remember going home and watching it on TV, and we just had the TV on all night for hours and hours just watching the whole thing. It was just so um tragic, it was so unusual, it was so different. You don't expect a president of the United States to be assassinated, and um we we we were just all in shock. Yeah, so that that's my true true story of uh what happened because I was I was there, not there, but I was at home watching it. Yes. The Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon. Um yes, I've been there. I got I got to see. What?

SPEAKER_05 5:28

What? Now that that's so informational.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_06 5:34

You're not supposed to laugh at me. I'm gonna take my toys and go home. Um, well, I saw the Grand Canyon, but not with my family, which you would think would have happened. Um as we lived here uh you know, we lived here for years uh as a family, and we never went to the Grand Canyon as a family. I went with uh high school kids from church, and that's when I saw it for the first time. So it was very unusual to see it with other people other than my family, because we never we never went for whatever reason. So that's a true story.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

Okay, I have a um a strange one for you.

SPEAKER_06 6:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

The Slinky.

SPEAKER_06 6:22

Slinky, yes. I remember uh when I first saw those on uh TV commercials a zillion years ago, way back in the sixties, and uh we had one around the house for quite a while and we played with it, and um it was invented by mistake, and I I can't remember all the details because I read about that just recently. Uh some man was doing something and he set it down and it walked down the stairs and he was he was amazed at it and he didn't know what to do with it and it ended up being a toy.

SPEAKER_05 6:51

I think he was trying to so I think he was trying to make a collapsible uh military antenna. Yeah, that that sounds kind of familiar. Yeah. I didn't realize that it was so entertaining when his daughter started playing with it.

SPEAKER_06 7:04

Right, yeah. So it was uh it was discovered by accident.

SPEAKER_01 7:09

Yeah, that's right. So you you went off the uh Grand Canyon. I'm gonna piggyback off that a little bit. Mount Rushmore.

SPEAKER_06 7:18

Oh, Mount Rushmore. Oh yeah, I've been there and that was great. And uh the the the the the neatest thing about that was when we were driving up the road to to Mount Rushmore, and when you get close the with the trees and everything, all you saw was the four guys across the top, and you couldn't see the bottom of it or anything else. They were just kind of like floating there in space above the trees. That was one of the most interesting things that um that we had ever seen.

SPEAKER_01 7:48

That's pretty cool. Yeah. I always wanted to go and see that.

SPEAKER_06 7:51

And there's a hidden chamber up there. I don't know what it's for, but I saw it on some TV show. There's a hidden chamber up there, and I don't think that it's if it's got anything in it or not. Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore, up there.

SPEAKER_05 8:02

Yeah, I heard there is. They got like some sort of sacred documents or something in there.

SPEAKER_06 8:06

Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_05 8:07

I don't understand if that's accurate. Waymo, the self-driving vehicles.

SPEAKER_06 8:13

Oh, I've been in one. You have? Tell us about it. I've been in one. Um, yeah, it was uh in fact, you were there too. You were in the front seat, and I was in the backseat with somebody.

SPEAKER_05 8:23

No, I was in the backseat with you, and our friend Jake Whitebread was in the front seat.

SPEAKER_06 8:28

Oh, excuse me. Never mind. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 8:32

So you're riding with two Jakes.

SPEAKER_06 8:33

So I rode with two Jakes, and um it was a great ride. It was interesting, it was scary because the backseat was going faster than the front seat. And um I know it sounds impossible. I don't understand. It sounds impossible, but we were just zipping along, and you guys were in and you and the or whoever was in the front seat, they were just moseying along, and we were just zipping twice as fast. And it was it was yeah, it was interesting. But it got we got where we were going, and then when we got there we we ate, and then we had to call for another one to take us back, and that was just as exciting and it was fun. So have uh you bring it up a lot.

SPEAKER_05 9:15

Have you actually ever been to Area 51?

SPEAKER_06 9:18

Close to it.

SPEAKER_05 9:20

How close?

SPEAKER_06 9:22

Um, not close enough to read the sign, but we went down the alien highway.

SPEAKER_05 9:27

What do you mean you weren't close enough to read the sign?

SPEAKER_06 9:30

No, there's a sign down there that says Area 51 or whatever, you know, keep out and you're under surveillance and all that. I didn't want to go down there because I didn't want the camera to get my license plate and follow me around the rest of my life.

SPEAKER_05 9:41

So um You got that warrant, huh?

SPEAKER_06 9:43

Yeah, something like that. So we went down there, but we went only so far. Uh maybe to the the ma the special mailbox that's down there, and then we turned around and came back. But and we stopped at the little alien isn't there a museum over there or something? And uh Roswell, yeah. We didn't go see it though, we didn't take time. We had our dog and it would we couldn't take a dog again. Oh, I would like to go back and see the museum.

SPEAKER_05 10:09

I would I heard him on a previous episode. I didn't l hear it like while we were recording it, but when I listened to it back, he's all over there.

SPEAKER_03 10:18

Yeah, I could be with my aliens.

SPEAKER_05 10:20

I'm like, wow, you're like really deep with them. I don't remember that part.

SPEAKER_06 10:25

Okay. I'll have to send it to you.

SPEAKER_03 10:27

You're like my aliens.

SPEAKER_06 10:30

The first color movie. Oh, gee whiz. The first color movie. You really think he's that old, huh? Um when did color come out? Um I think it's in the 30s, wasn't it? Yeah, I think it was. We had cartoons come out in the color cartoons come out in the 30s, and it was uh Technicolor. It was uh the three strip program, how they did that, and I don't really exactly know how it worked, but they had three color strips and it's a very large camera and very technical and very difficult, and you had to hire a um technician from Technicolor to actually help you do that and put it all together. Wow. But it was back in the 30s, yeah. Oh, as a as an aside, in case you want to know, the first audio uh synced movie came out in 1927. So I'd be prior to that it was all um it was all um silent film. And then we had sync sync sound to music back then. I mean to to the picture.

SPEAKER_05 11:39

So they would do the film and then they would add the m music in later, or how'd this work?

SPEAKER_06 11:45

No, they would do it. They they would have a microphone on set and they'd record it and they would they they had a way to sync it up, although I don't I'm not familiar with it. They had Westinghouse recording and RCA and they had different kinds of recording systems, but I don't know how to do that.

SPEAKER_05 11:58

So they recorded the music live while they were doing the movie, like um almost like a uh uh a theater production or something.

SPEAKER_06 12:06

Well, they may have at the beginning, but then later they they learned that they could play it back. They'd record the music first, they'd play it back, and the singer would lip sync it, you know, and then they would so they could yeah, could do it that much too.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

Like a music video.

SPEAKER_06 12:24

Yeah, like a music video.

SPEAKER_05 12:25

Yeah, that's a good boy. I didn't think about that.

SPEAKER_06 12:29

Ray!

SPEAKER_05 12:30

Guess what? What? What's going on? We haven't done an audience shout-out in a long time, and since it's our season finale of season two, I think it'd be really cool to actually um document, jump in, give shout-outs to people, let them know that we hear them and and whatnot. We have over 40, over 40 countries that has downloaded our show.

SPEAKER_06 12:54

Wow, I'm amazed.

SPEAKER_05 12:56

I can't believe it. And then we can't either and more every week. And then we have another 150 US cities that have downloaded, but man, I don't think we could uh I don't think we could name all 150 U.S. cities.

SPEAKER_06 13:10

So what are we gonna do? Just name part of them?

SPEAKER_05 13:13

I think we should take the top 50 cities that have downloaded and really, really, really showed off their their uh uh attention to the show and give them the shout out. Okay, sounds good to me. Yeah, let's do it. Let's start with the countries. Okay, the United States of America.

SPEAKER_01 18:31

And fun fact, I found out that um in order for the city to show, you actually have to be in the city to download it. So these like so they're it's downloaded in the actual city that you're located in geographically.

SPEAKER_05 18:46

So wherever your device is that you actually make the download, that's where your your download counts. So, like for instance, if you have a New York phone number and you're in Los Angeles, it's not gonna count as a New York download if you're not in New York. If you're in Los Angeles, it's gonna count as a Los Angeles download. So wherever you are and and uh you download, it will show up and tell us. It's pretty cool. Yeah, that is pretty neat.

SPEAKER_01 19:46

I'm always interested to know what what people's favorite episodes are um from the ones that they've downloaded. So if you have a favorite, you know, put put a little comment in there. That'd be kind of cool to know um what your favorites are. Maybe we can we can make a list of of what whose pay favorite episodes they are people have.

SPEAKER_05 20:07

Even do like a uh uh audience uh episode where we review all the favorite, you know, topics from over the years.

SPEAKER_01 20:15

SPEAKER_05 20:18

Awesome. So we're gonna go into another segment here. It's called One of These Is a Lie. Okay. Ray, do you want to play? Sounds like fun. Do I have to tell a lie? Um, you don't I guess if you if you're looking at it like that, you potentially. Okay, but I can go first to give you an example. Okay. Okay, so I'm gonna give you three examples. Two true, two are supposed to be truths, and one is supposed to not be true.

SPEAKER_06 20:49

And I'm supposed to guess which one? Correct. Oh boy.

SPEAKER_05 20:52

You get nothing but a free crumble cookie.

SPEAKER_06 20:55

Okay, I'll take it.

SPEAKER_05 20:57

So I have had a monkey before. I have been skydiving. And I drove a NASCAR and it was fast.

SPEAKER_06 21:15

You know what? What's this? Um, I know the answer because I was listening to uh previous episodes and you talked about a couple of these things, so I made a note of it.

SPEAKER_05 21:27

I wanted to make it fair for the audience to participate.

SPEAKER_06 21:29

Yeah, because they can participate. Now, if they've been listening, they know the answer. Oh, yeah. Do you want me to tell you what it is?

SPEAKER_05 21:36

Uh yes, sir. That's the reason why I asked you.

SPEAKER_06 21:38

Okay. I know for a fact you had a monkey when you were younger. Okay, so one is a truth you're saying? Yes, one is a true. One is a truth, okay. Number two is a true because I know you went tandem skydiving with somebody. Okay. I've been skydiving. And you never drove an ASCAR.

SPEAKER_05 21:57

Well, I can stretch. The truth on that. I won a NASCAR package where I gotta spend like five days at NASCAR. And at the end, I got to do a ride along.

SPEAKER_06 22:13

Okay, that's close, but you never actually drove it.

SPEAKER_05 22:17

They would never give me the wheel. I mean, they don't trust a guy like myself. But no, yes, it was uh it was it was really fast. It was cool being a passenger, and I actually have a video of that somewhere, but uh oh cool. That was uh that was really cool. I won the package through the Arizona lottery. Oh, neat. Yeah, it was a really cool they called me up on some sort of uh second chance thing that I wasn't even I didn't even know I was a part of, but shout out to them.

SPEAKER_01 22:44

Yeah, that was really that was a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_06 22:46

Um can I go next? Yes, of course. Okay, I'm gonna have to think a minute to see if I've got anything written down here.

SPEAKER_05 22:52

Um Stephanie and you, I want you both to participate in this. This will be fun.

SPEAKER_06 22:56

Let me see what I can think of. Okay, number one, I have been to Ireland. Okay, you got that?

SPEAKER_03 23:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 23:05

Number two, I have been to all 48 lower states. Whoa. Got that? Yep. At one point in my life, I had 18 cats.

SPEAKER_01 23:17

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_06 23:18

Um, so which one, two of those are true and one's a lie.

SPEAKER_01 23:22

I know which one is true so far. So I I'm gonna I'm gonna guess. Well, I'm gonna know, I'm gonna tell you. I think that for sure you've been to 48 states. And I only say that because as listening from before or maybe in prior conversation, I think we've had this talk about it. Yeah, I think I mentioned it on a previous what we visit. Previous podcast. Okay, that one's true. So I know you've been to a lot of traveling with with um with the misses.

SPEAKER_05 23:49

So number two you're saying is true. Number two is true. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

So the other one, you've been to Ireland, or you at one time in your life had 18 cats? Yes. I can also think that to be true.

SPEAKER_05 24:04

Which one? The cats or the Ireland?

SPEAKER_01 24:08

That's a tough one. I'm more reaching towards the cats. You've had 18 cats at one point.

SPEAKER_06 24:16

Is this true? Yes, that's true.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

You've not been to Ireland yet?

SPEAKER_06 24:19

I've not been to Ireland. Oh man, I almost believed you on that one. I wish I know. That's why I wrote that down because I thought that was believable.

SPEAKER_01 24:28

Ever out of the country like that?

SPEAKER_06 24:30

We went to Europe. Okay. But not to Ireland.

SPEAKER_05 24:33

What was your favorite thing to see in Europe?

SPEAKER_06 24:36

Oh my goodness. Uh, we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. That was cool. Wow. Even have a picture. Wow.

SPEAKER_05 24:44

Yeah, that's cool. Was it in black and white?

SPEAKER_06 24:48

It wasn't that long ago.

SPEAKER_02 24:51

I'm just kidding. Yeah, they were still building it. Yeah. It was just it was just the framing.

SPEAKER_05 25:01

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh. We had to climb up a ladder to get there. All right, Stephanie.

SPEAKER_01 25:07

Okay. I have I have something for you.

SPEAKER_05 25:10

Oh boy. She's pulling out her phone. She's been doing some homework, it sounds like on myself.

SPEAKER_06 25:15

This is gonna be tough.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

Okay, you guys tell me what you think. And of course, the hubby's like you should know this, but maybe Ray, you won't.

SPEAKER_05 25:26

I'll let Ray try to answer first.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

Okay. I know three languages. I love public speaking, and I swam with dolphins.

SPEAKER_07 25:41

Oh my god. Oh brothers. Oh my brother.

SPEAKER_06 25:46

Number one. You swam with dolphins.

SPEAKER_05 25:50

I thought that was number three.

SPEAKER_06 25:51

It was, but he's saying that. That's okay. You swam with dolphins. And oh boy. Um I the other two are hard because I don't think you know a third language, and I don't think you like public speaking.

SPEAKER_05 26:11

So what can I ask you? What makes you think she swam with dolphins?

SPEAKER_06 26:16

Because it's I that sounds like something she would do on a vacation.

SPEAKER_02 26:22

Okay, I'll just ask you.

SPEAKER_06 26:24

I I I I'll I'll just take a guess that uh you don't you don't like public speaking, so you know three languages, but I don't really think you do.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

But so you say I yeah.

SPEAKER_06 26:38

The the lie is is uh the one about uh public speaking.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

So you you don't think I love public speaking?

SPEAKER_06 26:45

No. That is hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 26:50

Why'd you say that? I'm on a podcast.

SPEAKER_06 26:54

Yeah, but that's different. Yeah, because you're not in front of a live audience and you're anonymous.

SPEAKER_05 27:00

Hey, we could be in front of a live audience if Singapore or somebody wants to Germany wants to bring us out there and do a live taping. That would be cool. Hey, a boy can dream.

SPEAKER_01 27:10

Okay, so you're right, Ray. I do know thing three languages. You do? Yes.

SPEAKER_06 27:16

What do you know besides Spanish and English?

SPEAKER_01 27:18

Sign language.

SPEAKER_06 27:19

Oh, I forgot about that. I knew that. Okay. He knew it too.

SPEAKER_01 27:26

Yes. Um and uh I don't love public speaking. Yeah, I knew that. I just kind of knew that. I mean, I'm I I I can talk in public and I love talking to different people. And I I can talk to anybody all day long. There's nobody that's not my friend. But if I have to stand in front of somebody and and do like an announcement and everybody's looking at you, that's different. I don't like that at all. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 27:51

Well, I didn't either, but somehow I became a school teacher, so figure that out.

SPEAKER_05 27:55

She's a social butterfly, she loves talking to like everybody, but as far as her like being the leader and addressing everybody, oh, she she squeams away from that. No, I don't like it.

SPEAKER_06 28:07

Yeah, I noticed when when uh we had her birthday party last time, she was, you know, quite the social butterfly.

SPEAKER_05 28:13

Oh yeah. There's and it's funny because my son takes that trait from her. She's like a, you know, I always say that there's not a stranger she hasn't met yet because she just, you know, everybody, she'll just she'll talk to everybody and make an effort to, hey, oh, how's that taste like? What's that like? You know, she's just very conversational and open about that, where I don't know, that's something I could aspire to be because I'm I'm more of an introvert and I'm like they're looking at me, I don't want to talk to them. What am I gonna say? You know? So I'm the I'm the awkward guy, usually. But yet you're the host of the podcast. Hey, I guess I got something. Yeah. So I got a question for you guys. Okay. Do you guys think that Jesus could sing?

SPEAKER_06 29:09

You know, I've never thought of that.

SPEAKER_01 29:13

Do I think that he could sing?

SPEAKER_05 29:15

Yeah, like when I'm not saying right now in heaven, but I'm saying like when he was on earth in his humanly body, do you think Jesus could sing? And if he did, do you think that he was like, you know, a worship leader style singer?

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Um I think he would be more like uh uh I like to sing songs to myself, like at home kind of person. I don't think he was real showy, but I think that he would have the voice and the you know, he could have the voice and the gift. It's kind of like one of those things that you just kind of hold on to because that's yours. That's how I think Jesus would do it.

SPEAKER_06 29:54

Well, if you remember, he often talked to crowds outside, and that was long before we were able to put microphones and speakers in front of him. And so he had to have had a powerful, powerful voice that could be heard over. No doubt.

SPEAKER_05 30:15

I don't I don't dispute that. I agree.

SPEAKER_06 30:17

I understand, I mean, I think he had a powerful voice. I think he probably sang, like Stephanie said, sang to himself while he was walking down the road or working in his carpenter shop. But I don't remember anything in the New Testament about uh congregations singing or Christians gathering to sing.

SPEAKER_05 30:39

No, it was just a funny thought that I saw online, but uh like Isaiah 53, too, reminds us that he had no beauty or nothing that you know should attract us to him, you know, that wouldn't make him ordinary. He, you know, he he tried to have an ordinary life like us. And so it was just a funny thought that somebody brought up online. And if he was to sing, how would it be portrayed? Because it'd be like, Oh, how I love me, oh, how I you know, with his name in the old in certain songs, like how that's that's funny. How could he portray that? Like, oh I love me, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:23

Oh but that wouldn't be him though. That's that's why that's why I've said it.

SPEAKER_05 31:27

I don't mean this in a mockery, it would be more just out of a pure curiosity.

SPEAKER_01 31:32

It would it would be more he would have to sing more towards like he would sing to his father, he wouldn't sing to himself, of course, but but he is the father in flesh, so at the same time, how at some point is it not slightly awkward?

SPEAKER_06 31:47

But he would be singing I agree with Stephanie, he'd be singing to his father, he would not be singing to himself, he was a very humble prophet man.

SPEAKER_05 31:56

Oh, yeah, no, I'm not saying he did. Right, this is just curiosity, that's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_06 32:01

Right.

SPEAKER_01 32:02

That would be kind of interesting for sure.

SPEAKER_06 32:04

But I don't think he sang by himself. I think that if if there was any singing, he would join in with the with the disciples singing in a group in the upper room or whatever they did, you know, like heavenly hymns and stuff or something. Yeah, or whatever they sang at the time. I don't know what they're doing.

SPEAKER_01 32:18

Yeah, because you would think you would think that, I mean, at that time they still worshiped, right? They still did stuff like that.

SPEAKER_05 32:24

You would think. I mean, I wouldn't think that you know worship just came out of today's standards when they say that even the devil himself was like the leader of worship.

SPEAKER_01 32:32

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:34

That was an interesting question. Thank you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 32:37

I started off the last episode and ending it with an interesting question, so I thought that it'd be fun to have it on this one, too.

SPEAKER_01 32:44

You think you had a sweet tooth?

SPEAKER_05 32:45

Jesus have a sweet tooth?

SPEAKER_01 32:48

Ooh, wee.

SPEAKER_06 32:49

Did they have sugar back then? I bet they had honey. Oh, yeah, they had honey. Yeah, they yeah, I bet they had honey buns and all that. Well, they made bread. Why not put some honey in it to make it more? That wasn't that wasn't even a joke.

SPEAKER_05 33:07

They had honey buns, really, back then? Those are ancient honey buns.

SPEAKER_06 33:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 33:13

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 33:14

Well, I don't know. I'm just guessing.

SPEAKER_01 33:16

He's right. They had bread and they just put honey on it. That's so funny.

SPEAKER_05 33:21

It was just hilarious. I'm sorry. Almost as funny as your genie moment. I'm still trying to figure out what you did with that genie. What genie? The genie that you were telling Doug and I about. You rubbed the lamp. Yeah, you're rubbing your lamp. Yeah, rubbing the lamp. And you were trying to do something with the genie.

SPEAKER_06 33:37

Yeah, I can't remember that one hardly.

SPEAKER_05 33:39

That wasn't crazy noise.

SPEAKER_06 33:40

Yeah, well.

SPEAKER_05 33:41

Okay, side note. If you're enjoying the show, don't hesitate to leave a review on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you may be enjoying.

SPEAKER_03 33:55

Wherever you may be listening. That's what I said. Can I change the subject?

SPEAKER_06 34:03

I got some stories and jokes and things. Is that okay? Definitely. Okay. I've got two classified ads here that were actually showed up in a newspaper.

SPEAKER_05 34:14

They still do those?

SPEAKER_06 34:16

Well, this was a long time ago. Whenever we had newspapers, we don't have those anymore.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_06 34:21

The first one said for rent, a six-room hated apartment. Hated? Hated. They kind of mistyped it. It should have been heated, but it came out hated.

SPEAKER_05 34:35

Well, no wonder why it's vacant. It's hated.

SPEAKER_06 34:37

Yeah, it's hated. Oh, here's one. This this one really is a doozy. It says, illiterate, write today for free help. Huh? If you're illiterate, you couldn't read the ad. So how could and you can't write. So it's like, um, that one didn't make a lot of sense. Yeah. That's why I was laughing. I'm like, really. Oh, how about something that's ironic?

SPEAKER_01 35:03

I like irony.

SPEAKER_06 35:05

You like irony?

SPEAKER_01 35:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 35:07

Okay. In 1974, the Consumer Product Safety Commission ordered 80,000 buttons promoting toy safety. Okay. So that you could wear them and, you know, toy safety. Oh, okay. Okay. I guess. They said, for kids' sake, think toy safety. So they were actually imprinted.

SPEAKER_05 35:27

So these are like buttons that you would like attach with like, you know, the almost like the buttons they wear at Disney, like, you know, they have signs and meanings and sayings.

SPEAKER_06 35:37

Okay. The buttons were recalled when the agency found out that they had sharp edges, parts a child could swallow, and were coated with toxic lead paint. Can you imagine the the product safety commission had, but they didn't, they ordered them. They just didn't, you know, they didn't make them, but they had them made, and I guess they didn't specify. Oh boy.

SPEAKER_01 36:02

Yeah, toys back in the day used to be like really hazardous to kids.

SPEAKER_05 36:06

They did. They had like this radiation toy and this other toy that came with the blowtorch. I was look I was watching it on one of those shows. I'll send it to you, Ray. You're looking at me all confused.

SPEAKER_06 36:17

Yeah, I'm I'm confused. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05 36:19

They're like toys that made America and they had like safety recall issues and whatnot, or they may have never actually made it to market, but they were still, you know, considered and they were doing a sh uh show on I remember that.

SPEAKER_06 36:33

And they had some jarts. I remember jarts. That big old spike thing that you throw in the yard and it could land on some kid's head or in his eye and the clackers, those clackers and they would break. I remember clackers. They had to recall those. Yes. Yeah, I I I know that show. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 36:50

Yeah, that's where I was saying that. Yeah, they have they did uh episode where they actually gave p kids radiation and um stuff like that to play with in one. Um they gave an another one. Um another game was for kids to uh what's that?

SPEAKER_01 37:06

Like the They were supposed to blow their own beakers.

SPEAKER_05 37:08

The yeah, the glass beakers for science for science projects stuff. They're supposed to glow their own, blow their own glass beakers. So it was a glass blowing kit for kids.

SPEAKER_06 37:18

Uh that sounds a little dangerous with all that heat.

SPEAKER_05 37:20

Yeah. Yeah, and they they put it all in a box with a little blowtorch kit and everything like that for the kids to do.

SPEAKER_06 37:25

No, let's not do that. I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_05 37:29

But those kids, I mean.

SPEAKER_06 37:30

Well, yeah, we grew up in a different era back then. We were not coddled and babied like kids are today.

SPEAKER_05 37:36

That's what safety regulations do.

SPEAKER_06 37:39

I know. And you want to hear another funny story?

SPEAKER_05 37:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 37:44

Okay. Uh, they don't say what year this was. After the world premiere at England's Leeds Playhouse of a play called The Winter Guest. It was a play featuring a common a community cut off by a blizzard. The audience found themselves snowbound and were put up for the night in the theater. So they watched a play about being snowed in and they actually were snowed in.

SPEAKER_05 38:13

Wow. Can you imagine? That's like speaking reality. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 38:16

Yeah. Okay. This is what's called the seven laws of TV. And it's something that you know, but you don't really think about it until you hear it.

SPEAKER_05 38:26

Is it almost similar to the seven words of radio? No. Okay. Not even close.

SPEAKER_06 38:30

Because we can't say not even close. No, this is the seven laws of TV.

SPEAKER_03 38:35

And once you hear it, you'll say, Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:38

And then you start to notice it when you watch TV shows.

SPEAKER_03 38:42

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:42

Okay. Number one, the hero will always find a parking space. You know, they come downtown and they park in front of the courthouse or the or whatever, and oh, there's always a parking place. But in real life, it never happens that way.

SPEAKER_05 38:57

I get what you mean. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:59

Okay. Number two, police never wait for backup. They just go off on themselves and, you know, oh, I'm going to catch street guys all by myself.

SPEAKER_05 39:09

It depends on what side of town you're in.

SPEAKER_06 39:11

Yeah, maybe. Number three, if a woman is running away from someone, she will trip and fall. Every time. You know, you notice that?

SPEAKER_07 39:22

Huh.

SPEAKER_06 39:22

Yeah. It wasn't until I read this, it's like, yeah, they do. They trip and fall. They never can run away.

SPEAKER_02 39:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 39:31

Okay. Number four, cars will explode in all accidents, no matter how slight. Yeah, you have a little two-car crash on the freeway, and wow, they both explode. Yeah. It doesn't happen in real life either. But you got to have it make it exciting for the viewers, I guess.

SPEAKER_05 39:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 39:53

Okay. Ah, I like this one. Number five, haunted houses are never locked. You know, you just walk right up and go in and see the ghost or whatever's in there.

SPEAKER_05 40:04

And why would they need to be locked?

SPEAKER_06 40:08

Well, they should be. It's a vacant house. You're gonna steal a ghost. Well, you know, there's uh and they're usually furnished with all this these fine antiques and everything, and they they just don't take care of it, you know. It's it's wide open to anybody. Uh six, if a hero jumps hundreds of feet into water, it will always be deep enough. You know, he doesn't bottom out in two feet of water.

SPEAKER_05 40:35

No, no, that couldn't happen in a movie.

SPEAKER_06 40:37

No, no, it has to be be uh a deep, deep water of some sort. And number seven, this this one I always I've heard this one a long time ago, and it's true. Nobody on TV has time to watch TV. You know, there are two busy people on TV. You watch all these comedy shows and they're always joking and laughing and playing around, but whoever sits down and watch TV. I don't it's been a long time since I saw somebody do that. It's really unusual.

SPEAKER_05 41:08

I thought you were gonna mention the other law.

SPEAKER_06 41:11

Oh, you got one more? In movie and TV. Okay, what's that?

SPEAKER_05 41:14

It doesn't happen anymore, which is good. It's really, really good. But I noticed growing up in a lot of like action movies and stuff. Uh-huh. Usually the um the black person or the minority person uh-huh always died first.

SPEAKER_00 41:28

Like the girl.

unknown 41:29

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 41:30

If there was only one girl should die, it's like I it would never fail. I'd watch a movie growing up, and it it was like on on prediction. You'd be like, oh yeah. They're they're two minutes into the movie, oh, they're gonna die. Oh, five minutes later, they're dead. It's like it's just for whatever reason, it was really weird.

SPEAKER_06 41:48

I think it's a sign of the times back then. But I I never noticed weird. I never noticed it, but I'm gonna have to notice when I watch my rewrite.

SPEAKER_05 41:56

It's a known thing, trust me.

SPEAKER_06 41:59

Okay. Here's something, uh bit of interest. Six words your digital clock can spell. Did you know your digital clock could spell?

SPEAKER_01 42:09

Oh, yeah. We used to do this back in the day when we used to have our pager. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 42:12

Okay, that's okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:14

And we would write stuff out. My brain looked like a like 800 would be boo.

SPEAKER_06 42:20

Okay. Right? Yeah, 800 is boo. That's one of them. Go ahead. What's the rest? Uh B O B is 808, Bob, 808. SIS, 515, 515 says SIS. Okay. And here's one. SOB is 508. So 508 is SOB time.

SPEAKER_05 42:46

I don't want to touch that. That's not appropriate. Okay, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_06 42:50

Well, it could say sob, it doesn't have to be that other thing.

SPEAKER_01 42:54

Then we got the regular 911, which means coming back right away.

SPEAKER_06 42:57

Okay. Yeah. SOS is 505.

SPEAKER_01 43:00

Yeah. Help.

SPEAKER_06 43:02

411. And zoo is 2 o'clock.

SPEAKER_01 43:07

That's funny.

SPEAKER_06 43:08

So zoo, 2 o'clock.

SPEAKER_01 43:10

It's a time talking time talking to you.

SPEAKER_06 43:13

Yeah. I thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_05 43:16

That was odd for sure.

SPEAKER_06 43:18

Okay. This one is called Come and Listen to a Story, you know, about a man named Jed. You know. Because it's related. You know, the Beverly Hillbillies and all that. It's related because it has to do with oil.

SPEAKER_01 43:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 43:32

I get it, yeah. That wasn't funny. You're laughing. Go ahead. I didn't think that was funny. Oh well. Oh, it was. Okay. Using the very latest equipment, Texaco workmen set about drilling for oil at Lake, however you pronounce this, Penwar in Louisiana during November of 1980.

SPEAKER_02 43:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 43:54

Okay, they were drilling for oil. After only a few hours of drilling, they sat back expecting. Expecting oil to shoot up. Okay, because they thought they were close. Okay. Instead, however, they watched a whirlpool form, sucking down not only the entire 1,300 acre lake, but also five houses, nine barges, eight tugboats, two oil rigs, a mobile home, most of a botanical garden, and 10% of nearby Jefferson Island, leaving a half-mile wide crater. No way.

SPEAKER_05 44:25

Did they open up a portal?

SPEAKER_06 44:27

They did. No one told them there was an abandoned salt mine underneath. So they just, it was like putting a big drain in the bottom of the thing and it all sucked down into the abandoned mine.

SPEAKER_05 44:40

How crazy. I mean, before you drill for cables or anything like that, aren't you supposed to get like one of those people out here and they tell you what's underneath?

SPEAKER_06 44:48

And yeah, don't you find a map or something that says, you know, there's a is that topography? Ding dongs. Yeah. Oh, I like ding dongs. I think we already said that. That was off the air, but yeah, we can put it on. Yeah, I think we already said that. Yeah, we can put it on too. Okay. This was called Oops. Details, details. Oops, details, details. A group of Russian counterfeiters produced a near-perfect run of bogus 50,000 ruble banknotes. They're worth about $22. $50,000 rubles is only $22. Once they went into general circulation, officials agreed that it was an excellent job, and the bills appeared to be genuine currency. The only error they made was misspelling Russia.

SPEAKER_01 45:38

So they were fake?

SPEAKER_06 45:39

They were fake.

SPEAKER_01 45:40

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_06 45:40

So they misspelled Russia, so it was kind of obvious that um yeah. A teacher found that or something. Oh, I gotta be. Gotta be.

SPEAKER_01 45:53

Oh, she got any points for that.

SPEAKER_05 45:55

Why isn't she?

SPEAKER_01 45:57

I don't know. I assumed a teacher would be a girl. That's just me. Here's a teacher that's a guy right there.

SPEAKER_02 46:03

That's very offensive and sexist.

SPEAKER_01 46:07

I'm a girl. That's that's where your brain goes, you know? I'm sure if he was thinking of it, it would be a guy. Yeah. Because he's a guy.

SPEAKER_02 46:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 46:13

No, I just thought that was hilarious. You're like, it has to be a girl.

SPEAKER_01 46:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 46:18

It's a girl job.

SPEAKER_05 46:19

Like, what? It's a girl brain. I get it. It was just funny.

SPEAKER_06 46:22

Here's another oops. Another oops. Oops. Happiness is a strange gun. Yeah. When police in Saginaw, Michigan pulled over a motorist on a traffic violation, they made a discovery. The guy was carrying a pistol in his car. Despite his protestations that he had never seen the weapon before, the cops knew their duty and they arrested him. Okay, because he had a gun. Imagine the officers' embarrassment when they had to let the suspect go the following day with an apology. What? It seems the gun had dropped out of a cop's holster into the car when they were questioning the motorist about the traffic charge. Oh, that's dangerous. Yeah, so they looked it up, the serial number and everything. He planted it. Found out. Accidentally planted it. Yeah, it fell out.

SPEAKER_01 47:16

Accidentally, my yeah.

SPEAKER_06 47:18

Can you imagine that? Whoops. Somebody got caught.

SPEAKER_05 47:23

That's what that was. Whoops. Someone's in trouble. Yeah, like could you imagine that, like a child or somebody that was there and your pistol accidentally came unleashed? Like you're supposed to keep that thing secure at all times.

SPEAKER_06 47:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 47:37

You put people in jail for that very same topic.

SPEAKER_06 47:39

Yeah, he must not have had his holster snapped or whatever they do.

SPEAKER_05 47:43

Practice what we preach, people. Have his holster holstered. Be a proper uh what role model.

SPEAKER_06 47:49

Here's another oops. Ready for this one? I'm ready. I'm ready. On June 9, 1978. That long ago. That long ago. I don't remember this. Mr. Bob Spiekas was ready to beat a domino record by knocking down 100,000 dominoes in a row. You know, stand them up, and then you hit one and they all go down. Yeah, the domino effect.

SPEAKER_01 48:15

Can you imagine going halfway through and knocking them all over? I bet it's happened.

SPEAKER_05 48:19

You gotta start over.

SPEAKER_06 48:20

100,000. The media was there to broadcast the historic event. A TV cameraman recorded his progress. A speaker set up the last dominoes for his performance. 97,497, 90,000, 7,498, 97,499. Then a TV cameraman dropped his press badge and the dominoes started to fall.

SPEAKER_03 48:46

No.

SPEAKER_06 48:46

Oh my goodness. He was about 2,500 short and off they went.

unknown 48:53

Oh no.

SPEAKER_03 48:55

I thought it was fired. No, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_06 48:58

You ready for another oops? I don't know why I have so many oopses tonight. Man, that was a bad oops. You ready for another oops tonight?

SPEAKER_05 49:05

Today.

SPEAKER_06 49:05

Today. What is it? I don't think it was morning, noon, or night. I don't know. I I get lost.

SPEAKER_05 49:10

Wherever it is where you're listening, that's what time it is.

SPEAKER_06 49:13

Yeah, yeah, that's what that's what it is.

SPEAKER_05 49:15

Tell us. Email the show. We don't even know what time it is.

SPEAKER_06 49:18

We're in a studio. How am I supposed to know whether it's day or night? It's dark in here. It's dark and weary and gloomy.

SPEAKER_03 49:24

The sun's not even out.

SPEAKER_06 49:26

Yeah, I had a story about haunted houses. Magical lights. But we're not haunted in here, are we? No. No. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 49:31

Do you like haunted houses?

SPEAKER_06 49:34

I do. When I was a kid, oh I'd loved haunted houses.

SPEAKER_05 49:36

Like, would you go into a haunted house? No.

SPEAKER_06 49:39

Probably.

SPEAKER_05 49:40

You would?

SPEAKER_06 49:41

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 49:41

So if I if I arranged a UFR trip for you and I to go through a well-known haunted house, I'd go. And then and then we do a review. I would go. You would do it? I'd sign, I totally would not go.

SPEAKER_06 49:55

Sign me up. I'm ready. You know where it's at? No.

SPEAKER_05 49:59

So Universal Studios every single year has like a remarkable haunted house that they start like in January building.

SPEAKER_06 50:06

SPEAKER_05 50:14

Those are haunted houses. Like a haunted house, like the size of IKEA. It's amazing. You can't get out of it. By the time you get in there, it takes you like two hours to get out of it.

SPEAKER_06 50:22

I've been in one of those.

SPEAKER_05 50:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 50:23

I can't I can't do those either. You are camp playing. I don't want a real or a fake haunted house.

SPEAKER_01 50:33

You can do either. I'm good.

You want to go out to the boonies, like where the hills have eyes, and actually go to a real haunted house? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 50:39

That's what you were talking about. Yeah, that's what you were talking about.

SPEAKER_05 50:42

So yeah, like that's what what's that called? Those are called something different. That's not a haunted house, is it? That's called like a haunted house. No, I thought that was called like haunted adventure. No. There was something. I thought there was a certain term.

SPEAKER_06 50:55

SPEAKER_01 51:39

Hey! He's got an idea. Sorry.

SPEAKER_06 51:42

No, I did not get a smartphone, and I I pretty much decided I'm not ever going to get one.

SPEAKER_05 51:47

Your dishwasher told you otherwise, though, I heard.

SPEAKER_06 51:49

Yeah, well, I don't want to run my dishwasher from my smartphone. And besides, I got a new refrigerator last week, and I forgot to tell you. I had to get a new one. The other one went out. Does it talk to you? No.

SPEAKER_01 52:01

They do have fridges that talk to you.

SPEAKER_06 52:02

I know, and I don't have a TV screen in it, and I none of that's.

SPEAKER_05 52:06

It didn't require the Wi-Fi password to set it up.

SPEAKER_06 52:10

No. No. But it has four drawers. Really? It's got four doors. I like that. It's got a little middle drawer that I that I can put. Oh yeah, it's great. I like that little drawer. It's fun. No, tell us more about this middle drawer.

SPEAKER_01 52:24

You are gonna No, you had an idea. What was your idea?

SPEAKER_06 52:28

Well, I I it's gonna embarrass him. It's gonna embarrass Jacob, so I don't know if I should say anything or not.

SPEAKER_01 52:33

My wife's take it out, so my wife's all for it over here. She's like, come on. How many opportunities do you have to do this, Ray?

SPEAKER_06 52:40

Okay. Uh well, this is actually a question for Steffi that I had thought about earlier today that I was going to ask her offline, but since we're talking about it, I'm just gonna ask her, and then you'll die over there, okay? This is gonna be great.

SPEAKER_01 52:52

I don't know if I should answer that. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 52:54

I'm already turning red. He's he's turning red over there. I can see it from here. Um, okay, Stephanie. If I got him a pair of compression shorts, would you let us go out in public and have lunch together?

SPEAKER_01 53:13

Would would I?

SPEAKER_06 53:14

Yeah, would you let him would you let him go out in public and be seen like that? Because there's nothing to it. That's two different things.

SPEAKER_01 53:20

It depends because I would let him, would he do it? Probably not.

SPEAKER_06 53:23

Exactly my point.

SPEAKER_01 53:25

Oh, so you wouldn't care. I would I would let him.

SPEAKER_06 53:28

Okay. But he wouldn't do it. No, he wouldn't. No. No, he's already told me about 40 times. I've tried to get him to go to lunch with me.

SPEAKER_01 53:34

You might even I don't know if you even if you'd have lucky getting him to wear his compression shorts with you having lunch in the house.

SPEAKER_06 53:42

No, he wouldn't.

SPEAKER_05 53:43

I don't even think I would wear my compression shorts with you not in the house. My leash is like 50 feet long, but I only go like four feet. I don't travel very far. Huh?

SPEAKER_06 53:54

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_05 53:55

My wife lets me do a lot. But oh, just because she allows me to do things doesn't mean I go out and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna go. That's the leash she was talking about.

SPEAKER_06 54:04

Okay. Well, you brought up the subject, so I thought, well, that's that would be a good time to talk about that because I wouldn't have been wanting to ask that question.

SPEAKER_01 54:11

So now if you have if if they were printed with like, I don't know, hearts on them or something like that, I'd definitely try to figure and uh arrange something.

SPEAKER_05 54:20

Well, I'm not giving nobody a free show.

SPEAKER_06 54:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 54:23

Well, they they want to go on Patreon or they want to go on somewhere and see a picture of me in there and pay 20 bucks a picture. You can hey we can turn this into something, but I am not giving no free shorts.

SPEAKER_06 54:36

I'm not giving nobody a free fruit. There we go. You can get them imprinted and we could sell those on our on our website. What do they say?

SPEAKER_05 54:42

You gotta pay to play. No, no, I'm not giving nobody a free show. No, no, show off the long number.

SPEAKER_06 54:49

I'm not that type of person. No, we're gonna sell them. We're gonna have them printed up like you do, like we do our shirts, and then we'll sell those for people that want to have them. Unfit for radio shorts. But I had another idea.

SPEAKER_05 55:02

You just need to say unfit. I mean they'll say it all. We don't need to say the full radio. We just put unfit on there. I have to develop anyway. It covers that's all that will fit is unfit.

SPEAKER_06 55:16

There was a young lady from France.

SPEAKER_05 55:18

What happened to her?

SPEAKER_06 55:19

She had hats in her pants. No. Um, I found some clean limericks that I can share. And I thought these were what's a what's a limerick? It's a limerick. It's um, I believe it has five lines and the first two rhyme, and the second two rhyme, and then the last one rhymes with uh the the first two.

SPEAKER_01 55:40

I thought that was a haiku.

SPEAKER_06 55:42

No. Haiku is differ is slightly different. I don't think a haiku rhymes. So you had a bunch of dirty limericks? So you had to get rid of those and then find the cleaner. No, but you said you found some clean ones, so no, but you know, that there was a young lady from France who had some underpants. You know, however that goes, you know. I was right. We're not saying that. I don't have that one, but you know. All right, I just have good ones. There was oh you oh the uh this one might not be clean, but we'll go ahead. We'll try it.

SPEAKER_05 56:14

Go ahead. We'll sanitize it.

SPEAKER_06 56:15

There was a young artist called Saint, who swallowed some samples of paint. All shades of the spectrum flowed out of his rectum with a colorful lack of restraint.

SPEAKER_07 56:34

No way.

SPEAKER_06 56:36

No way. Yeah, yes, wait, that was it. That was a clean one. I like that one.

SPEAKER_05 56:41

You have another one?

SPEAKER_06 56:42

Oh, yeah, I got more. You're gonna kill me. You're gonna have to really listen to this one because this one That one's stained. This one is really, you have to really listen to this one. It's easier to figure out what you when you read it, but when you listen to it, you're gonna have to, huh? You'll you'll say that when I'm done. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 56:59

Yeah, Ronnie will put that sound effect in.

SPEAKER_06 57:01

Huh? A flea and a fly in a flue.

SPEAKER_01 57:06

Oh, it's in the chimney.

SPEAKER_06 57:08

We're imprisoned, so what could they do?

unknown 57:10

What?

SPEAKER_06 57:11

Said the fly, let us flee. Said the flea, let us fly. So they flew through a flaw in the flu. Holy smokes.

SPEAKER_01 57:19

Yeah, they flew through a floor in the flu.

SPEAKER_06 57:23

Yeah, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_05 57:24

Yeah, that could be a nursery rhyme. That was pretty cool.

SPEAKER_06 57:27

Yeah, wasn't that cool?

SPEAKER_05 57:28

I like it.

SPEAKER_06 57:30

Okay, here we go.

SPEAKER_05 57:31

My voice is cracking.

SPEAKER_06 57:32

I'm sorry, guys. My voice hurts this week. Too many recordings. This one's about a cat. Of course. Okay. There was an old spinster from Fife. Fife? Fife, who had never been kissed in her life. Along came a cat, and she said, I'll kiss that. But the cat meowed, not on your life. Meow.

SPEAKER_07 57:56

Meow.

SPEAKER_06 57:57

Yeah, because she was an old spinster, you know, nothing to look at.

SPEAKER_05 58:01

That's funny.

SPEAKER_06 58:03

Poor cat. Oh, you want oh here's a here's another one you might like. Yeah. I wasn't going to read this one, but I'll read it.

SPEAKER_02 58:10

Oh, you're going to hold out?

SPEAKER_06 58:12

Yeah. I was next to the Duchess at tea. Distressed as a person could be. Her rumblings abdominal were simply phenomenal. And everyone thought it was me.

SPEAKER_01 58:33

So who was it? It was her. It was the Duchess. She had a tummy ache, or she was hungry. Yeah. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_06 58:43

Okay, I got another one here. I wasn't going to read all these, but they're they're too funny. Yeah, you can't leave them behind. Said an eminent erudite ermine. You know, an ermine's that that that fuzzy thing with the fur.

SPEAKER_02 58:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 58:58

There's one thing I cannot determine. When a dame wears my coat, she's a person of note. But when I wear it, I'm only called vermin.

SPEAKER_07 59:10

What?

SPEAKER_06 59:12

Yeah, he's an ermine. You know, that's like a rodent type thing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 59:18

I hope that wasn't your final one. Do better, please. You have another.

SPEAKER_06 59:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 59:22

Do better.

SPEAKER_06 59:25

Some of these are you almost have to read them because they're too hard. Well, how else are we gonna hurt if you don't read them? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, I wasn't gonna read this one either. But this goes right up your alley, okay? Okay? Yeah. Okay. There was a young fellow called Cager, who, as a result of a wager, offered to fart the whole oboe part of Mozart's quartet and F major. What? I'm I just read it. I don't write 'em.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:01

I just That is hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:03

That's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:04

That is how that I love it.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:06

The fabulous wizard of Oz retired from business because what with up-to-date science to most of his clients, he wasn't the wizard, he was.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:18

So true. He was found out. He couldn't have a curtain big enough.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:25

Okay. I got another one, but this one might not make sense if you can't read it. Okay? Because it's kind of because it was a play on words.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:34

It'll definitely not make sense if you don't read it.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:36

Okay. When a jolly young fisher named Fisher went fishing for fish and a fissure. A fish with a grin pulled a fisherman in. Now they're fishing the fissure for fisher. Fisher, fish, fissure, fish. Wow. Now that was deep. That took a lot of work to write that thing. That was fish food for thought. It was, wasn't it? That's the last one I have of those. Thank God. You went out with a bang. I'm not done yet. Oh. I thought you said it was the last one of those. The last one of those. I've got more stuff. Better. You know me. Hopefully. I don't know. I I forgot I should have a bathroom thing around here someplace if I can. A what? I always have a bathroom story.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:24

He doesn't go anywhere without bathroom humor.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:26

Yeah, but I don't think that's his section. I don't think I have one out there. Down the hall to the left. That's his section. No, yeah, that is my section. Oh, I like this one. Oh, this is good. I wasn't going to put this in, but I'm going to do this one. This is called Dumb Predictions. These are actual predictions said by real people.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:43

Okay. I'm ready. I'm all ears. Okay. Popular Mechanics, 1949. That's a magazine. Ooh, it's a magazine. That's a magazine. They used to have those in the doctor's offices. They said computers in the future may weigh no more than one and a half tons.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:57

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:59

It's a big PC. Can you imagine? Oh, that's like a Tesla, right? Yeah, something like that. They're huge. There's your there's your computer. They filled a room back then, but they, you know, well, we can get it down to one and a half tons for a computer. Cyber truck. I'd like to see that guy come back to life now and see it carried around in your pocket. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:19

You know, wouldn't that be something? Even smaller. I mean, they got those microchips that they've been implanting in people for uh therapeutic reasons and stuff.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:28

Crazy.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:29

This was Thomas Watson, who was the chairman of IBM in 1943. He said, I think there is a world market for maybe five computers. A world market for five? Yeah, because they were so big and so clumsy and so awkward.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:48

I think I'm more amazed that IBM was around in 1942.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:52

Yeah, me too. 43.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:54

Well, the first IBM computer was like you said, filled the whole room. It did, yeah, like the uh Twilight Zone. Like I was telling you, that one episode, it took up the whole wall and the scientists that went in there and created the computer. Like uh there was this AI version on the computer in the Twilight Zone, and the AI actually she felt she fell in love with the made him lose his mind and leave his wife. And they thought the scientist was just tripping, so they got like three or four of the scientists in there to try and work with the machine, and the machine did the same thing to all of them and made them all f fall in love with it and leave their people, and and so it was like that was like a prediction of today, isn't it? Yeah, and nowadays you hear these I'm sorry to say, but there's certain people out there that actually have like AI girlfriends and boyfriends, and they talk to these robot chats like real people. Yes, yes, that is strange. Like people thought lonely people playing solitaire was like a lonely man game. Imagine like talking, having a whole like interaction with a computer, and you're like, so what should I do with my life? And the computer's telling you like certain important things. That can get dangerous. Ugh.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:07

Oh, yeah, it's happened.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:08

I'm sorry. Break for this world.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:11

This was the associates of NBC President David Sarnoff responding to his recommendation in the 1920s that they invest in radio. Okay, radio was just brand new in the 20s.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:23

Radio is fun. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:25

This is what he said. The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular? He knows nothing. He knew nothing. He knows absolutely nothing.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:39

Don't listen to nothing he said.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:41

Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:42

Imagine all these people trying to predict the future.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:44

Yeah. Here's one Western Union internal memo, 1876. Okay, this goes back a long way. I can almost remember this.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:52

What was the weather like back then, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:04:54

Um, it was nice.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:55

Oh, I bet.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:56

After Alexander Graham Bell offered to sell them the rights to the telephone, this is what Western Union said. The telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us. And here everybody's got one in their pocket.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:15

Weren't they wrong? You know, Bell, everybody's, you know, so amazed by his invention.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:21

I'm more impressed by what his brother invented.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:24

What did his brother invent?

SPEAKER_05 1:05:25

Oh, you never heard of his his brother?

SPEAKER_06 1:05:27

What? Taco Bell? Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:32

Hey, I started the program. That was good.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:35

That was good. I'm glad you came around and brought that back up. Okay, here's another one. The Decca Recording Company in 1962.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:47

Oh, I think I know about that.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:49

Yeah, they rejected the Beatles. They say we don't like their sound and guitar music is on the way out.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:54

They're fools.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:55

Weren't they though? I bet they kicked themselves down the road forever. Here's Lord Kelvin, who was president of the Royal Society in 1895. He's a Lord. He's Lord. Wow. He said, heavier than air flying machines are impossible. And here we are going all over the world today. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:16

The cargo jets, like they can have air uh trucks and tanks and all this stuff on there. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:22

Yeah. This is Irving Fisher, professor of economics at Yale University in 1929. I believe stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau. And 1929 is when they crashed. So he thought they were permanently high.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:39

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:40

Mm-hmm. He didn't predict very well, did he?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:44

I don't know. They said something recently about our stock market right now. I'm not trying to actually get into real news, but our stock market right now is showing a trend to the same type of trend that happened like in 1926. Oh, I've heard that. And so they're doing like a hundred-year study. It's like I almost hear the same thing every year, but sounds more like YTK. Yeah. The world's gonna sell me all your stuff.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:11

Here's Charles H. Doell, who was a commissioner of the U.S. Office of Patents in 1899. Okay, now this is a great prediction.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:19

They had patents in 1890.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:20

Oh, they were.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:21

People were stealing stuff back then like that?

SPEAKER_06 1:07:23

Yeah, they way back then. He said everything that can be invented has been invented. What a ding-dong. Wouldn't he be surprised today?

SPEAKER_04 1:07:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:32

If he came back to life and saw this stuff. That's a boring life. It would be boring.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:37

The thought was only that they reached all that they could reach. There was no other place to go. They hadn't figured out yet that there was more.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:48

Yeah, they had all this stuff to work with. Their ideas weren't bigger. No, they they didn't think big, did they? They ran out of creativity. Oh, here's a great one for for computer geeks, ready? Bill Gates in 1981. This is Bill Gates. This better be accurate because he may sue. Oh, it's accurate.

unknown 1:08:07

Allegedly.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:08

He said 640k ought to be enough for anybody.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:12

Huh?

SPEAKER_05 1:08:14

That would not be that would not be the first foolish thing that guy said.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:18

Well, and that if that was the case, then he should just live on that now.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:22

Yeah. And we're into what? Terabytes and all that. This guy wants to get rid of cows.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:28

Not gonna happen. I love cows.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:30

I love cows. Yeah, we can't get rid of cows.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:32

And I heard recently, I don't know how true it is. Fact check me, somebody. Season three. I'll come back with the facts. But I heard recently, like uh cows are the most highest nutritional meat that you could eat. And that is potentially allegedly why some conspiracy theorists think that they want to eliminate all the cows.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:54

But yeah, I think they're better for you than chicken.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:57

But uh I think chicken anyway, I think chicken overall tastes better in certain circumstances. Cooked. I mean, like chicken, fried chicken, then you can't. You can do chicken all sorts of ways. You can do chicken sorts of ways. You put chicken on top of spaghetti and make like a chicken barbuchon. You could do all kinds of chicken and beef. Beef is good, but I don't think beef is more as universal as chicken.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:22

Can I give a shout out to somebody? Since you kind of mentioned you wanted a response.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:28

Oh, who's this?

SPEAKER_06 1:09:29

My nephew Dale, because he's the one that fact checks us. I want him to fact-check that thing about the cows.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:36

Dale. Yeah, he uh if anybody wants to see Dale's response, you can go to our website at unfitforradio.buzzsprout dot com and go up to where it says fan mail, click on fan mail, and you can read responses such as Ray just described. And if you want to be a part of it, leave your response. Nobody's stopping you.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:03

No, okay. I have one more uh prediction here.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:06

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:07

Pierre Patchet, professor of physiology at Toulouse, that's in um France, in 1872. He said, Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction. And since you're a germaphobe, I I knew you would appreciate that.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:25

He never heard of like the plague or COVID or nothing like that?

SPEAKER_06 1:10:28

I guess not.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:31

That's old Jermy.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:33

Jeremy.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:35

All right. Well, I have a couple of funny but true little tidbits for you, if you don't mind. I can share. Yeah, I'm ready. Who would mind? This is uh what do we call this? Fun facts. Ooh. The only facts I like. Or the did you know. You know, however you want to do it. Okay. Okay. Did you know that uh bananas are berries, but strawberries aren't?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:02

Huh?

SPEAKER_01 1:11:02

What?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:04

Strawberry's not a berry?

SPEAKER_01 1:11:06

No, because strawberries don't count as berries since their seeds sit on the outside. Apparently. And bananas, berries, banana seeds are on the inside. So coconut is a berry.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:17

Banana seeds on the outside would look funny, wouldn't it?

SPEAKER_01 1:11:22

Are those bananas or coconuts?

SPEAKER_06 1:11:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:27

A group of flamingos is called flamboyants. Flamboyant, boy, amboyam.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:33

Well, they are they are rather flamboyant, aren't they?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:37

They are. Didn't I hear something recently about like the pink flamingos are there's like I don't know, something about how the flamingos get their pink?

SPEAKER_06 1:11:46

Yeah, because of what they eat. What they eat. They eat the pink shrimp or something.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:51

So flamingos aren't naturally pink. Correct.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:54

Correct.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:54

It's like their diet's what causes it. So if we ate like uh I don't want to say that, that'd be political. I'd say like if we ate carrots all day long, we would look like somebody orange.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:07

True story. I have a true story. Go ahead. I have a true story. Okay. When my brother was a baby, he actually turned orange. And my mom took him to the doctor to find out why. And she was feeding him too many carrots and cabbage, and I mean not cabbage, uh squash and all that. And so it actually turned him turned him orange. So she had to back off on that. So that is a true story. Yeah, you can turn orange from that.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:36

Orange, you glad she went to the doctor and got that taken care of for him.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:39

Yes, orange, I glad, yes.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:42

You remember the, you remember the uh never mind, I don't want to tell the same joke twice. Okay. You probably wouldn't remember it, but I probably would. What is orange and sounds like a parrot?

SPEAKER_06 1:12:56

Can I answer that? Yes.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:59

A carrot!

SPEAKER_07 1:13:00

Ding ding ding ding ding.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:02

I got it right, yay. Intuvative. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:08

Speaking of speaking of your um your cow theory of cows being the best mate. Do you know why? Probably. No, why? Because fun fact, cows have best friends. What? What? Yeah. It says that cows have special bonds to stay close to their favorite companions. So when they separated, their stress levels rise. So they have best friends. They like to be with their certain cow friends.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:36

That's like elephants, then, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 1:13:38

Yeah, elephants have yeah, they stay all stay together forever. Forever and ever.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:46

Oh, that's sweet.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:47

Yeah. Another one about animals, it says the dogs tilt their heads to understand you better.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:53

I thought it was because my dog was confused.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:56

That's what I thought. They always looked at you quizzically. Like, what do you say? Huh? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:00

Well, it helps it says that it's they tilt the tilt helps the their uh dogs adjust their ears and their vision to interpret your sh your speech. Interesting.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:11

I never knew that.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:13

Yeah. Honey never spoils. You could eat 300-year-old honey if you wanted to.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:18

No way. Yes, that's true. I I read that. Even if it's black. I don't think it turns color. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:26

It never spoils. It's natural composition prevents bacteria. Oh. And for you, Ray, you said you went to the Eiffel, was it did you say the Eiffel Tower?

SPEAKER_06 1:14:37

Eiffel Tower. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:38

Okay. So the Eiffel Tower grows in the summer.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:43

What? Yeah, it does.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:45

Expansion and contraction, or what are you talking about? He causes the material structure to expand, making the tower grow up to six inches taller. And when the temperature cools down, it shrinks.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:56

I should ask my doctor to measure me in the summertime and then when it doesn't mean. Oh, that's I think I got something. Doc, you need to measure me in the summertime only. I'm tired of these wintertime measurements.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:11

I don't think that works with people.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:13

Oh, it'll work around the holidays around the weight section.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:17

Yeah, yeah. If you're talking about stepping on the scale, yeah. Holy time. No, that's not the time to be measured. Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:26

I think I could get some people to agree with me on that.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:29

I think so.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:31

So, butterflies taste with their feet.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:35

Butterflies taste with their feet?

SPEAKER_01 1:15:37

Mm-hmm.

unknown 1:15:38

Huh.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:39

Now, how would anybody know that? How would a scientist figure that out? That's some.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:45

And and who's gonna challenge it if they're wrong? That's the thing. Yeah. Like, how can we say that? No, they don't. Because how do we know that they actually do?

SPEAKER_01 1:15:55

It tastes the surface because it wants to know, like, when it lands, if it's suitable to like lay their eggs there. So like like they taste what it what kind of material it is. Sounds like an octopus.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:05

That's interesting.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:07

Oh, speaking of octopus, octopus. Well, you got an octopus one? I have an octopus one. Okay. Oh boy. Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood. Whoa.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:18

Blue? Three hearts. I can't imagine three hearts. How do you coordinate it?

SPEAKER_01 1:16:22

Two hearts plump blood to the gills and one circulates it through the rest of the body.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:28

Can they survive without all three? I wouldn't think so. I don't think so. They work together. I don't mean like all three of them. I mean like can they survive with two or one? I wouldn't think so. Wow.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:39

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:39

Yeah. That's rough.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:41

That's interesting. And their blood is.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:43

They gotta worry about three different heart attacks.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:44

Yeah, their blood is blue from the copper because it helps their um from the copper. It's like a copper-based molecule. It helps the in their cold water, keeps them at the right temperature.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:54

I did not know that. That's cool. Yeah, I thought so. You got anything else for us? Because this is interesting. Stephanie brought some fun facts too. Yeah, she did. I like this.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:06

Penguins. You know how they have um they mate for life. Yes. The little penguins.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:12

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:13

They propose with a little pebble to their little person. They give a little pebble to them. No way. And if the partner accepts it, then that's how they bond.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:22

Oh no, isn't that cute? I know where they vote. That's just cute. Where do they vote?

SPEAKER_05 1:17:27

At the North Pole. Oh, geez.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:31

You've only told me this joke like three times this season. Oh, I'm sorry. That's funny.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:41

That is pretty funny. I have one for you, Ray. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:44

A joke or a fun fact? A little fun fact. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:48

For you. This one's about um about cats? Cats.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:52

Oh, good.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:53

Cats can't taste sweetness. No. They lack the scientific receptors that detect sugar.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:00

No way.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:01

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:02

Can we study cats and like actually somehow try to get that?

SPEAKER_01 1:18:07

This is why they are they're so picky.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:09

Yeah. Some of them are picky when they eat. Not all.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:12

They make us so healthy if we weren't such attracted to sugar.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:15

I know. They should take that.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:17

Well, they'd have to take out our team receptors. Well, I just noticed that like most people that don't like sweets and don't like desserts and don't they're all skinny. And I'm like, oh, I know. Wouldn't that be nice? Ain't that something? Not to be attracted to poison.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:31

Yeah, only. A giraffe's neck is too short to reach the ground.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:37

Oh, I know something about that. Do you know that the giraffe is the only animal that is apparently like engineered to so basically, you know how much you know how much blood uh pressure it takes to pump the blood from the heart of the giraffe all the way up to the head? It's so incredible that if it continued to pump blood at that same pressure that it normally pumps the when it when the giraffe bends down to drink some water, that its head would explode. So they say that God engineered the giraffe so perfectly that whenever he puts his head down, his blood pressures instantly change because had it not, the same pressure that it takes to get the blood from the heart to the brain, when they bend over to drink some water, would physically make the brain explode.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:37

I have something else about a giraffe. Dale, check me out on that. I have something else about a giraffe that I find hard to believe, but I've read it two or three places that a giraffe's neck has the same number of joints in it that the human neck has.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:51

Oh, you want to know you want to know what else we share? What else do we share? Yeah. The human hum us humans share about 60% of our DNA with bananas.

unknown 1:20:02

What?

SPEAKER_06 1:20:03

I'm a banana? Chiquita? Isn't that funny? What? Are you part Are you part Chiquita? I should have I should have known that last time when we talked to Michael about yeah, because Michael's over here sharing all kinds of things about his Chiquita bananas.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:20

My goodness. No wonder why he's got it.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:21

I had no idea. Okay. And speaking of carrots, they used to be purple apparently.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:30

I heard that carrots are not naturally orange. They, for whatever reason, changed them over the years for some specific reason. But if you get the white and the purple carrots, those are apparently the way that originally grew.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:46

They're supposed to be better for you because they're heritage vegetables or whatever.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:49

They somehow over like 200 years ago started putting orange in them because they sold people the idea that the orange carrots were like the high-end model, but really they were just dying, you know, so somebody was getting scammed back then.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:02

We had scammers back then, who would have thought? Yeah, I know. I know.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:07

Did you know that back when the first four people existed on this earth? Do you know that one third of them were murderers? One third. One third. Okay. When the first four people that was created on this planet were here, biblically. Okay. One third of them were murderers. And then people want to wonder, like, how did this world get to be so evil? What are you talking about? We've been trying to kill each other from the beginning.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:38

Yeah. Cain killed Abel.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:40

Exactly. One third of this earth was murderers at one time. Yeah. Wow. You ever think about that? No. That sibling rivalry is real. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:54

These are dad jokes.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:57

I have not heard this.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:58

The good, the bad, and the terrible. But I think they're good. That's why I selected these.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:03

Ooh. I'm glad you didn't select the terrible ones. Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:06

No, I would never select the terrible ones. Thank you. Did you know I'm terrified of elevators? I'm going to start taking steps to avoid them. That's not true, but I I try and take steps when I can. As a child, it was my dream to make a perfect bar of soap, but somehow it just slipped away.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:34

Don't drop the soap.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:35

Aren't these terrible? I mean, they're so good they're bad. What does question what do snowmen do in their spare time?

SPEAKER_05 1:22:42

SPEAKER_01 1:23:16

I just, I just got that, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:18

What do you call a small parent? What do you call a small parent? A mini mum. Isn't that great? My father and I were in the car traveling to a family outing. On the way after passing a graveyard, my dad asked, Did you know that's a popular cemetery? No why, I responded. People are just dying to get in there, he replied. After I groaned, he continued in all seriousness. But really, did you know that I can't be buried there? Why not, Dad? I asked surprise. Because I'm not dead yet. That dad really pulled one over on his kid, huh? That kid was so believing too. Yeah. Oh dear. So gullible. Oh, I got a terrible joke here. Oh, you found one. I found one. Do you want to hear a joke about paper?

SPEAKER_05 1:24:19

Sure.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:20

Oh, never mind. It's terrible.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:24

A real terrible joke.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:26

Ha ha ha. Oh, since you guys got married a while back, here's one. Our wedding was so beautiful, even the cake was in tears. Our wedding was similar. We almost killed a couple old people.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:41

It was so hot outside.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:43

It was. Boy, I melted. Poor Linda. I had to take her inside.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:47

I'm telling I think we melted four old people out there in the sun. And half of those people, it's terrible. They weren't even able to make it to our reception because we were still recovering days later.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:01

Yeah, we never got a piece of cake because we had to leave early. Linda was so melted, we had I had to get her home.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:06

I didn't even get a picture with Ray at my wedding.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:12

Yeah. It was nice though. It was an awesome wedding.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:15

It was a nice wedding outside and everything. That was fun. Just suggestion.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:21

Never get married outside in the desert in the middle of May.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:27

In the middle, I was gonna say in July, but no, we didn't get married in July. But it felt like July.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:31

It was too hot.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:32

See, I got this on record. My wife doesn't even know our anniversary.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:35

I knew it was in May. It just felt like July. Oh, it did.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:39

It did. It felt like July. Oh man.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:43

And why did we pick the middle of the middle of the summer, so to speak?

SPEAKER_05 1:25:48

Why did we?

SPEAKER_01 1:25:50

I was asking you.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:54

I thought you were setting it up like this is an amazing moment. We're gonna do that. I was.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:58

I was asking you.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:00

I'm like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:02

I thought it was because everybody was available. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:05

Well, uh, yeah. I mean, everybody's always available if you make if you make it.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:10

We planned it for like five years and we finally said, okay, put spin the tail on the donkey. Let's pick a date, and okay, we're going with that one. We didn't just choose that date out of random, though. No, that date is actually our day that we started dating. So it's our multiple.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:29

It's a meaningful date.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:30

It's it's a prior anniversary date. Some couples have like 10 anniversaries, the day they met, the day they asked each other out, the day this ours is all on one day. We got married on the same day, we asked each other out on the same day. We like So had we had we started dating like in January, it would have been in January.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:48

Yeah, right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:49

So I mean, yeah, that was the that was the connection. But I mean, I thought like as far as reason why we did it outside and the all the you know shenanigans behind that, it was just that's that's just happened the way it was just supposed to be that way.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:04

That happened because that's the way it was. We didn't fully think about the precautions of having old people sitting out in the whole uncovered, the whole rehearsal and everything like that was always nice too. It wasn't it wasn't that hot. It just happened to be that hot that day.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:19

So, what she's explaining is when we went to do the rehearsal, it was always like a shady perfect time of day. So it was like four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the trees were all shaded that the sun was somewhere else. We didn't get married at four o'clock in the afternoon. We got married at like one o'clock in the afternoon, so the sun was in a different place, the trees were in a different place, and the should have got married at four. Whew, it was hot. Kelly, ain't they? Yeah, very enjoyable though. Yeah, it was nice.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:48

Well, do you know that Linda and I never dated? Well, we never did. Sort of zero to sixty? No, no, we were friends for years. But we never dated. We were just friends.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:02

That was dating. You just didn't know it.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:03

Well, we didn't call it that. We didn't call it dating. We just were friends.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:07

That's what dating is, is getting to know each other.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:09

Yeah, but it wasn't officially dating. Like they didn't feel like they were going out. They weren't together.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:14

No, we weren't, we weren't a couple and we were not officially going out.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:17

We just They were friends that didn't realize how close they were until it was too late. Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:22

Until it was too late. No, we just decided, well, let's let's go see a movie tonight or let's go out to dinner tonight. We would just kind of decided together. It wasn't.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:32

But I think that's what makes your relationship.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:33

Let's go on a road trip together. I think that's what makes I mean, from the outside in. I don't know a whole lot of stuff inside the relationship. Right. From the outside in, I think that that's what kind of makes your and Linda's relationship so meaningful is because you guys really started out as best friends before anything else. So you guys were some couples. Just want to be together because oh, she's hot or oh, he's hot, or whatever. Like, or oh, they're you know, whatever the attraction may be, they want that, where you guys were already attracted to each other because you're a friend. So you guys already were on that level of that's my best friend. I'm gonna go out with them next week, no matter what. Anyway, so why not take it to the next level? And I think since you guys did that, obviously, I mean that's that's the most meaningful thing. I think that is a big part of your relationship is you guys, you know, still you say you don't fight, you don't get in arguments, you guys are best friends still to this day.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:30

So I think that's really, really cool. And we know somebody from our past way back when, who married a girl because she was hot, but that marriage didn't last because hotness doesn't last. Hotness does not last. They they I don't think they were friends. I mean, we we knew it was a disaster before they got married, but you don't go around telling people that that's not the one, you know. You just stay out of their business and let them find out on their own.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:56

I think that's what most people a strive uh strive for in relationships. It's just so hard to meet strangers and have that best friend connection with them right off the bat. So for some people it can be challenging, but when you start off and you're able to be friends with somebody for a long time, um, I think that really impacts your it can impact your marriage too it being more long-lasting clear.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:20

And the way that we're raised in America is you have to really be physically attracted to somebody, which is true. But that's not all. Like if all you are is physically attracted to that person and when you're around them, you guys are nothing but a-holes or jerks or whatever to each other, like that's very unhealthy. There's there's there's not that's not a reason to be together just because you're attracted to them. There has to be other substance and meaning to it.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:46

Have you seen that that show? Um, um what is it like where where Married at First Sight? Oh, like love at first sight? No, married at first sight. They got married. They get married, they they they only see each other as they're standing in front of each other, like at the at the altar. No, no, they get married. No way, no way, no way. And there have been um because they're put together by like, you know, people who know who they are, who you know, understand what they're looking for, and it's a compatibility thing. And so really like um That sounds like an arranged marriage. Sort of, but they agree to it and and so they agree to be put in this in this circumstance, and there have been several marriages from that have resulted from this where they found that marriage can work that way. And and they've lasted, they have kids, I mean they they've fallen in love, they've they've really really made it made it work where you know you you really because I think marriage is is a choice every day. You have to choose, right? And so they're choosing to stay committed in that and stay stay with that, and I think that's kind of speaks for a lot volumes for a lot of a lot of things.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:00

Well while you were talking, Jenkins and I were shaking our heads, we just cannot compute with that. It does not compute. Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:08

But for some people who who were looking for something more meaningful that they can't really find or haven't found anywhere else, uh it's just that's a a strong way to go.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:18

I get it. I mean, sometimes even like arranged marriages work for some people, and then there's other people that's like as soon as they get a chance to run away or whatever, they they do that option too.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:29

It can be done. It can be done.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:31

It's just you know, everything's different for everybody.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:34

Well, I have a nephew who met his wife online. They they met online and it worked out great for them and they're doing just fine. But for me, it's like there's no way. There's no way I would even consider it.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:49

It just Yeah, especially because you're married.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:51

Well you know what I mean. That would be awkward. Hey Linda, I just met this girl online. How's this gonna work? Oh, you're you're in so much trouble. You are in so much trouble.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:04

I'm just playing with you, I know what you meant.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:08

Yeah. That would be that would be hard. I know some people just don't have that, like they're not able to do that. Did you really have to open yourself up? Remember how I was saying, you know, you meet someone online or someone in the coffee shop and you want to you're you have some sort of attraction to them, but you have to be able to be vulnerable enough to be their friend. And some people don't aren't willing to open up that much. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:31

Yeah, see that was that was both of our problems. We didn't want to open up to each other, so it took a very, very long time for that to happen. We were we were work buddies because you we we worked at the same church and we saw each other daily and we talked and and we it we just opened up over a long period of time with many years.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:53

That's really cool.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:54

So it was not instant by any means.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:56

That's why I think they're you know their relationship really is built on the foundation of friendship. They really are best friends at heart.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:06

That's cool.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:09

You and I we got lucky.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:11

What did we get lucky with?

SPEAKER_06 1:34:12

Because we already You knew each other when you were children.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:16

Because we knew each other for a long time. I'm like, we've got luck.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:18

No, I've just played. I've known you so to everybody that doesn't know, I've known Stephanie almost my entire life. She was uh a friend of my sister's, and my sister is uh slightly older than me. So what by four years? Yeah, but you're not that old. Are you?

SPEAKER_01 1:34:38

Well, she's about two and a half years older than me, I think.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:41

Well, I didn't want to tell everybody that you were that much older than me, but yeah, Stephanie is slightly older than me. And uh she's robbing the cradle over here. It's like a year, it's not even that long. It's long enough. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning. Well, it might be ruined.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:01

Well, just because he looks like he's 23.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:04

Yeah, that's not fair, right? See? And Michael didn't understand that. Some women like younger looking men. Doesn't mean they have to be younger.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:12
