Speaker 1 (00:01):
Raise your hand here because it's radio. If you like
to enjoy a mid day naps, Brook and Jeffrey in
the morning. I ask because there's a brand new study
that's out saying that if you really love to nap, yes,
it could kill you.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
I've heard this.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
No, naps are so good for you.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Not according to science, Brooker. It's a study from the
Associated Professional Sleep Society right here in our own city
that included over eighty six thousand participants.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Please tell me it's like naps over a certain length
or something could kill you.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, apparently there is a difference between short nappers and
long nappers. Short nappers are thirty minutes or less. So
which one are you, guys?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
I'm fifteen. I do my coffee naps. You drink the
coffee before and then it hits you while right as
you wake up, I'm fifteen.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
We're gonna get to the problem with that in a second.
But the research shows that taking longer naps is a
sonociated with higher mortality rate.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
If you take.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Naps on the weekends from one to three or eleven
to one, like a two hour nap, Apparently that's like
pre signing your own death certifical why why that's what
they say that happens. Thought was, like a well researcher'd say,
it most likely has an underlying health condition that's causing
you to need to nap so much. But the short

(01:28):
nappers though thirty minutes or less. It has a surprising
impact on your longevity.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
In a good or bad way.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Jazz in a good way.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Oh yeahs as long as you don't mix it with
alcohol or caffeine, which completely negates it.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
How do you stay awake?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Just gotta try.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
That's information that's out there right now. So the researchers say,
all of that could benefit from a quick zap to
the neck with the shot colling question of the day.
So let's just do with the medical experts want and
send it over to our digital producer for some sweet
shock therapy in trivia.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
As we speak, one of the world's oldest and most
prestigious sporting events is taking place across the pond. It's
the tennis tournament Wimbledon. Wo Out of the big four
tennis slams, this is probably the most distinguished. Some might
even call it hoity toity, not me, but some Yeah,
at least I would.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Say double toyy Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
No, I know, because is there anything more elegant and
regal than spending five hours watching two people smack a
ball back and forth while an old British man yells
quiet please, they don't want to make noise. It's true,
but Wimbledon isn't just about white outfits and polite grunting.
It's got some truly bizarre rules and traditions that date
back hundreds of years, and you'll be tested on them

(02:50):
today during a special wimbled done or wimble don't edition
of twenty You guys say number one through twenty, I'll
give you a unique rule from the Great British Tennis Tournament.
You said to tell me if it's a real wimbled
done or a made up wimble don't. We'll start with
the woman who'd wish she'd wimbled done some studying last

(03:11):
time she was in England. Yeah, that's a Lexus five
number five, alexis your wimbled In fact? Is this? If
a spectator sneezes twice in one match, an official will
politely escort them to a special sneeze zone where they
can recover without distracting play. Is this a wimbled done
or a wimble don't.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Some people do snee so obnoxiously. Well, there's a lot
of old men there, and the older the man gets,
the louder the sneeze. That is also that's true. But
then I also imagine like an old man having to
get up and move seats. That also sounds very loud
and distracting. So I'm gonna say, wimble don't.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Alexis says, we made it up. Wimble don't. Yes, they
kick you out entirely.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
They don't give you a chance to execute it.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Do you like to take people's heads off? Okay, give
me number fifteen.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Fifteen Brook Wimbledon officials must be prepared for anything. An
example of that would be a team of hawk handlers
at every match. If a pigeon shows up, a hawk
is released to deal with the dirty street bird, and
then play will resume. That's pretty awesome. Is that a
wimblededon or a wimbled don't.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
It's like they have bird security.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
I do know that the peregrene falcon okay, loves him
to kill some pigeons. Yeah, but they fly so high
you don't see him. So they'd be perfect for wimbled
because they'd be way up there. I mean there's a
lot of British falcons out there.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Okay, I don't know there were.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Top hats and monocles.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
So I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say Wimbledon. Wait, Wimbledon wimbled?
What does it sound?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Will?

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, I'm never going to be invited to this tennis match.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
He has wimbled done. Yes, a trained hawk named Rufus
who's flown around center Cordy's warning to scare off pigeons,
and then he watches the matches with his handler just
ready to strike.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Oh damn. So is that like the mascot kind of Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Now he's been the hawk for the last fifteen years
and replaced another hawk named Harnish beforehand.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
If I was a pigeon, I would just wear like
a bright yellow jacket and then I look like, yeah,
you would if I was a pigeon.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Thank you. I'll keep that mind for this question. Jose.
Five and fifteen are off the board. Let's go twelve. Jose.
Your Wimbledon fact is this. Only strawberries from a certain
county in England can be served as spectators during the match.
They are picked at dawn same day and given with cream.
Is this a Wimbledon or a Wimbledon?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
So I know as a foodie, I know that strawberries
and cream is a big thing in Wimbledon.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Have you tried the Westershire strawberries?

Speaker 4 (05:56):
So it does make sense that it would be like
a specific fall. And you know they got that contract
like with the Royal Yeah, and they're like, now we're
the Royal Strawberry Farm.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
I'm gonna say wimble done. Wait, wimbled wimbleed done. It's confusing,
but Jose says, that's a real fact. They're harvested from
the County of Kent, England, on the southeast area of England.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Not the northwest side, thank god, rubbish.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Over two million strawberries are served every year during the tournament.
Makes delicious strawberries.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Ever, all the farm does is just that event.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Then they make ten million dollars. We've gone three for
three so far. Jeffrey, you're about to go forty eleve
I don't know tennis scoring. Jeffrey's just right. I'm about
to get shut out. Let's go with love love, Okay,
zero about a number then, okay, number one, Jeffrey. Year.
Wimbledon fact is this, spectators are encouraged. It's not a rule,
but they're encouraged to use a soft British golf clap

(06:54):
to show appreciation for a point scored. What is a
soft British golf clap? Is it where a person uses
only their fingertips out their palm? I'm not sure what
is it? A Wimbledon or a Wimbledon.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I was chatting with my friend Will the other day,
Prince Will of Wales. Yeah, we were just having a
little chat about the Wimbledon games.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Be a carrier pigeons which aren't?

Speaker 3 (07:21):
That checks out for him.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
He is quite a Wimbledon fan and there is no
way that he would ever be quiet during one of
these events. That's why I was saying, this is wimbled.
Don't you are allowed to cheer as loud as you
want it Wimbledon?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Jeffrey says, wimbled. Don't you can get raucous in between points?
And Prince Will and I sure do, which means I've
been shut out in today's edition.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
All right, So the least classy of us digital Jake
will be getting shocked while singing let it Be by
the Beatles.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
When I find myself in times of trouble mother Mary
comes to me speaking words of wisdom. Let it be.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Nice job, Jake, I prefer the Hawk.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Well, Don Jay, that was your shock collar question of
the day. We got your phones have coming up in
just a few minutes.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
