Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the crazy, which used to be like the
craziest stuff we would find during a week. It's it's
Chris and Laurie. We host the morning show here on
Q one O two. I'm more and more thinking that
it is just our lives that is the crazy. Yeah. Yeah,
so it's good being with you. We do the morning show,
like I say, every weekday morning Shenandoah Country Q one
O two here on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You can find it by just searching Q one O
two on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Simple easy. We're the ones in Winchester, Virginia. There's a
big American flag in our logo. Well, look what we
do is we like to just talk about the crazy
stuff that we find during the course of a week.
And I found one here. This was good and I'm
really excited about this. Honestly, LORI. If you have a
hard time remembering things like where you put your wedding ring,
(00:47):
or where you put your wallet or where you put
your keys, you've been there, huh or your wedding ring.
Oh oh. There is a new pair of smart glasses
coming out that says, hey, you know what we will
remember your life for, are you? It's called Halo, and
it comes from a company called Brilliant Labs. They are
AI enabled glasses with cameras and screens, et cetera. You know,
(01:10):
but it comes with the virtual assistant you can talk
to and the lenses on the glasses let you see
and hear things. They're gonna be about three hundred bucks.
But my understanding is you can say, hey, Halo, where
did I leave my wedding ring? Where's the last place
you remember seeing my wedding ring? And it can say
(01:31):
it was on the nightstand, dummy or whatever. That's pretty cool.
I would give my eye teeth for that. If I
can get an Apple air tag small enough to fit
on the wedding ring, I've lost it three times in
the last three months.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I'm surprised that it doesn't have a higher price tag.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Three hundred bucks. Yeah, I agree. This November, I think,
actually I'm in.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I think you need that for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, I think I need it now. So So, anyhow,
there was another story I wanted to share with you. Oh,
so we missed something this week. Maureen McCormick turned sixty
nine this week and we forgot to say happy birthday.
I know that name, you do know that name. So
(02:16):
I interviewed Maureen McCormick in the nineties. She came out
with a country CD, big album, right, But in the
nineties everyone was coming out with a country CD and
it was very hard to break through, right. Every a
million people wanted to be a country star. That's where
it was at. Maureen McCormick was better known to everyone
(02:36):
as Marcia Brady.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Ah okay from the Brady Bunch.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Okay. So here's what happened. I got to interview her.
It didn't go well at all. So here's what happened.
The same thing that happened kind of when. So when
I interviewed pee Weee Herman, Right, you could either interview
the regular guy or pee Wee Herman, but you couldn't
(03:02):
mix the two, Okay, You couldn't even mention that he
was pee Wee Herman. Gotchah Okay. So with Maureen McCormick,
this is back in the nineties again, lovely lady, she
would not let you mention that she was Marsha Brady.
Oh yes, her people were insistent on it that said, no, no,
(03:25):
she doesn't want to bring that name up at all.
And I'm thinking to myself well, look, what good is
this interview to me? If I can't mention who she was?
People want to frame a reference exactly, And really that's
all I wanted to do. Like you remember her as
Marcia Brady. Now look all these years later, she's got
a budding her career exactly, Lorie. I thought, you know,
(03:46):
that's what I wanted to do, and they got kind
of nasty about it, a little snippy about it. Now,
I gotta say, I wasn't the same guy I am
now back in the nineties on the show that I
was on in the nineties, I was doing Mornings in
Virginia Beach. My role on the show was to be
this smart alec Okay, that was what it was. It was,
(04:08):
but like I was that guy, and they knew better
than to give me this interview. They did, but they
kind of wanted me to do it anyway. So anyway,
here's what happened. We had an interview. It was lovely.
It talked about her album coming out and blah blah blah.
And then at the very end of the interview, I said, oh,
and Mareen, I've got one more question and she said yeah,
(04:32):
and I said, what is Marcia get to record a
country CD, it's always Marcia, Marcia Marcia. Of course you
you should have seen her. Oh no, it was just
a dead silence and then and it was over.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I was gonna say, I'm surprised you didn't walk out.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
It was over. But she was lovely and I felt
bad having to say that. But I mean, come on,
why can't we say that. I don't know anyway, I'm
going to move on. Okay. So you had a story
that I thought was really interesting and it was about
a new tortilla chip. Would you like to talk about
this tortilla chip?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So there's this company called Rewind and they've made the
world's first nine vault.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Battery flavored tortilla chips.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And they're saying this is targeting nineties kids who remember
licking batteries as children. I'm a nineties kid.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I've never licked a battery. I'm so confused by this.
So let me start by saying, it's not just nineties kids,
it's all the kids way way back. You mean you've
looked a batteries. Oh, yes, you haven't licked a battery.
Oh what a sad childhood you had. Are you sheltered? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Honestly, I never linked at battery. I think this is
so weird.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh my gosh. So yeah, every kid licks batteries. Now
here's the funny part. I couldn't believe that. You couldn't
believe it. But you really couldn't believe this. We were
on the air and you said, I'm texting Web. So
she snatches up her phone as fast as she can.
She texts her husband, who's forty right, ye, And you said.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Have you ever licked a nine volt battery? And he
replied absolutely?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
And you were astonished. You were gobsmacks.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I've never heard of this movement.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
How can you be so sheltered? Bless your heart? How
deep were the woods where you lived? I mean we
are in the country, we're a little red cape.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So so.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Goodness. So then I felt like it was my duty
to make sure that you had that experience before you died.
So I went to our supply cabinet and I came
back with a nine bolt battery and you did it.
I believe. Look, you're still alive. I am. I was wow. Really,
(07:01):
you were freaking out of my look. Web survived to adulthood.
I survived to adulthood. It'll be Okay, I just I
think it's crazy. I know what's crazy, As you didn't
hear about it, I don't know I would have.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I would have rather just tried the Tortilla Tortillion.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Ship, honestly. Yeah, well, anyway, I can mark that off
the bucket line. I guess im wondering what other things
you didn't try as a kid. You ever heard of sparkler?
Did you have one of those?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yes? I had sparklers drink from a host. Yes, all right, gang,
we have fun every weekday morning. Hope you'll join us.
