Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, I've got some good news and bad news. Oh no,
it's broken, Jeffrey in the morning. Actually, it's more like
great news bad news.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I can take that.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
So let's start with the great. Seven eleven wants to
reward you from making it through the longest month of
the year, Dry January, by giving out free slurpees. Do
they not know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That's still dry?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
What, well, it's like dry there's no alcohol. Slurpy is
still no alcohol?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Well no, Still, it's like it's like a reward, like.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
We rewarded ourselves with alcohol.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
They're not quick.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I thought you said it was great news, jeff.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
That was great. Free slurpees is great news. The only
bad news is that I'm six days late and this
promotion already happened back on January thirty first, So yeah,
the news cycle is killing me late.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
So that makes more sense than it was happening during
dry January than they were giving away.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, okay, yes, I wish i'd seen this back then.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Why are we talking about it?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I just I can't keep up with the news.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Don't try anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, well, I guess I feel like I could take
this time to focus on July eleventh, which is seven
eleven's National Slurpy Day. It seems a little bit early,
doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, now everybody knows is this the same day every year?
It's seven?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, it's just like I know, I'm in charge of
kind of coming up with what to report on and
talk about on the show, trying to stay topical. But Alexis,
do you think maybe like you could help tag team
this job with me?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
All starts is happening right now. I can tell you
Sammy just came back in and he chose okay, right.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Stuff that people actually care about, though, is what we
need to talk about, because I keep reporting on stuff
like seventeen days late. But it's not really my fault though.
Why Why Because I live out in the mountains and
my internet is slow, so it takes it takes information
longer for it to reach me.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You know, a.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Newspaper would be more updated than you are.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, so I don't know. Text in seven eight, five
nine too. If you've got a free slurpee on January thirty,
first tell us how it was.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, maybe send Jeff a letter so we could about
your review in two weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I would love to hear about it and now ready
for next January thirty first. Oh, yes, you're kind of
ahead of the game. Yes, okay, we're jumping on top
of it next January thirty First, don't forget free slurpees
if you're able to do it. All right, we've hit
all the points. Now time to move on and get
into the jop collar question of the day. It's a
(02:21):
segment that never goes out of style. We've been doing
it for years. Nobody's been tired of it, not once. Jake,
you know what to do, Jake.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Today is the birthday of a true American hero, James
A Doer.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Oh yeah, we all know him right.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
He's the genius who, back in nineteen thirty invented a
guilty pleasure that many of us still enjoy to this day.
James was the proud creator of the Twinkie. Yes, those
golden hued confectionery clouds of perfection, both pillowy and soft,
yet delicately crisp at the edges, cradling a luscious core
(02:58):
of sweet theory vanilla cream that tickles the taste buds
and never expire. Some would consider the Twinkie to be
a bizarre food creation, But what other strange American inventions
have we seen over the years. You'll have to tell
me during a special appreciation for Innovation edition of plenty
(03:24):
of twenty. If you say number one through twenty, I'll
give you a hint describing a famous American invention. You
just have to tell me what it is to stay
in the game. We'll start with a woman who is
looking for someone to do her taxes. That's Alexis.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It's a pun on the guy's name.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Catch up, everybody.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
She did ask me about my mom in taxes.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But we don't have time now, Brooke Alexis, it's your turn.
Nin Alexis. You may receive no help from the room
for this one. One of those Alexis. A man with
the initials JD invented this funky knack that started out
with a different flavor, but a war forced it to
go vanilla.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
What is it? If I could help, don't I don't
even want to.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Don't.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I just want to hear Alexis think about.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I'm wondering if this is how the vanilla oreos came
to be.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
But they're not fully vanilla now they're still wait, not vanilla,
but the gold ones.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, yeah, you know, talk more, say more things.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't know any vanilla flavored things. Nilla wafers.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Vanilla wafers, not old Alexis said, Nila wafers. That is.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
The logic was so sound.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I was looking for the Twinkie. Yeah z James Stewart,
the guy I mentioned multiple times during the intro, and
then that joke about your taxes. Yeah, the initial flavor
was banana banana.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
That the flavor of Twinkie is vanillaway now I thought.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It was just twinkie.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Brooks, your turn now, yeah seven brook.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
In twenty thirteen, a man named Dwayne from solved a
problem that people never admitted they had until their vacation
photos proved otherwise. What invention am I talking about?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Their vacation photos proved otherwise?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Uh, okay, give me photoshop.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Jake Brooks says, photoshop.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
That is.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Sadly, the American invention I was talking about was the
selfie stick. Yeah yeah, Jose. It's your turn now. Nine
and seven are off the board. Let's go number three. Jose.
Started in two thousand and eight by a man named
Scott Boylin. It became the only fashion trend where looking
(05:41):
like a medieval monk was considered cozy. Oh what am
I talking about?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
This guy got like super rich off of this. Do
you know what it is? I know what it is
and I had one too.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
It's a snuggy Jose says. Snuggy that is.
Speaker 1 (05:58):

with the brown Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Wow, waiting know a type of monk?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Wow, Catholic, jeff giv me number one.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
In nineteen seventy five, a man named Gary Dahl created
a pet that never died, never misbehaved, and only cost
pennies to produce, but people paid millions.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Talking about Jeffrey, Yeah, the best pet that a boy
could ever have. Still my best friend to this day,
My pet Rock.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Jeffery said, pet Rock. Oh, those very much die. Yeah,
I have a graveyard in the desk, Jeffrey said, pet rock.
That is.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
We learned how to kiss with that pet rock, by
the way, and more and it uses a lot more
tongue than you would think.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yeah, moving on from that comment, you turn, I'm imagining
it's like a never mind, Jose, you have exactly three
seconds to answer this question after I ask it, or.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
You get buzzed. Oh no, your weird invention A hint,
A true test of laziness. If you can't lift a finger,
maybe try slapping both three slap to bolt one. I'm
sorry time has run out, Jose.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
The invention I was looking for was the clapper.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay, the clapper from nineteen eighty four can turn lights
on and off just with the sound of clapping.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I know that would annoying.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It was really, honestly like the first Alexa right.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Wouldn't that be annoying when you guys are like having
fun and then it just keeps going on and off.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I do clap when I'm having fun. You're right, clap
their TV.
Speaker 3 (07:41):

edition up plenty of twenty.
