The Frend Show is on Good Morning on the radio

Show on demand pulling it. But this made me laugh
this morning. You'd mentioned on our little little ideas sheet
that we have, you me, have a little ideas sheet
just shared. It's very fancy, just shared document. We type
stuff into it that we might want to talk about.
And I laughed out loud when I read it. But

(00:21):
you were talking about, as I do with most things
that you do, whether you intend for it or not.
But I you were talking about the smell of your childhood,
and I feel like there are certain like it's a
fact I think that our old factory, our nose, you know,

(00:43):
Like memories are associated with certain smells, which I think
is why, like I don't know, certain foods they are
sentimental to people, or like I think the same can
be said about music. Is that you hear a song
and people associate really closely associated memories can be taken
back right back to where they were when they heard
that song. Yeah, whatever song it is. But for you,
the smell of your childhood.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
So my personal smell of my childhood is Salem some lights.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, So if you know how.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Ill smell on my jacket going into school, and like
in high school, kids asking me if I smoked cigarettes
just because like the smell was so happy and my clothing.

This was Mama March, it was. It was a smoker.
She was a smoker. No longer a smoker.

Speaker 2 (01:27):

her and my stepdad. I mean, I could really go
on and on like about the smells of my childhood,
like vodka smell on the carpet, stuff like that, you know,
just like little But.

probably a bunch of random stuff. But eight five five

can text the same number. But what comes to my
My grandparents' house always had a smell and I never
knew what it was, and it couldn't be duplicated. It
just was, I don't know, you know, they no matter
where they were living. They lived in Pure for a while, Illinois.

in her house, it smelled like my grandparents and it
was a good smell, but it was sort of like

or I don't know what the hell it was. It
just smelled like them their house Kiki.
