Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, killing Nash, Good morning, Jonathan Tomorrow Shure today Tuesday,
the seventeenth of Juney, Yes, it is, I know, the
chance for win Thomas Red tickets. What you're talking about,
We give you the answer.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, it's already there right now at ninety seven five
w COS dot com. And uh, you know, it's one
of those things, Jonathan, where we never want you to guess.
We don't even want you to research it on your
own because there's a possibility that there's going to be
multiple definitions of a word.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We're constantly redefining words, so there's there's more definitions than ever. Well,
and you might just be wrong. Why just go about
proofing case or case in point? What is the word?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The word of the day is Athanasia.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Oh, this is an easy one. This is the original
name of the Titanic. But they just I don't know
how it came up in a group vote or what,
but it got voted down.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I mean there are multiple definitions of Athanasia, including one
is a plant with that name.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I wouldn't know with plants, Yeah, there's Unlicit produces a
product you can harvest on the farm. I wouldn't know
what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But if you go to the Morning Rust blog. The
answer that we want is immortality.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Athanasia is immortality.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
It comes from two Greek words. The first word is
the letter a, which means without, and the second word
is I think I'm pronouncing this right thanatos, which means death,
So without death. So the definition is immortality.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Immortality.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So somebody's reputation may have received Athanasia, and in magic
books they'll have a potion named Athanasia or something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So h tomorrow, immortality.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You win yourself tickets for Thomas Rhett in Charleston.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
The Veteran Boots Tour, and that is next Thursday night.
I felt like this Morning's Winter was a little confused
about it, and she was like, oh, it's Thursday.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's a school night.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It is a school night.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Plan Accordingly, don't call in if you if you're not
able to go on a Thursday night down to Charleston.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I remember if you wanted the past thirty days, you
can't win again.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's another good point, Jonathan. We hate, I hate, I
hate doing that beca.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We get the winner, then we go wait, mante you
won last.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Week, which lets us know that there's more room for
people to call.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
In and also we hang up on them and go
to the next caller.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, but I mean think about it.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
If these people can break through and continue to win,
then then y'all not calling enough. You all need to
get involved with this so you can get.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
These freaking yourself. It's never what are the chances I'm
going to make it through? Look, some people make it
through multiple times? Was it the chances are pretty good?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Was it MTV that used to have the real people
win with MTV because it was a national thing and
people didn't think that they could actually win the corvette
autographed by Sammy Hagar or whatever, and they would just
keep introducing you, this is so and so, this is
what he does for a job. He's you know, works
down here in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Are trying to convince you that everybody has an opportunity
to win. Why, Yeah, just because look, the phone line
is connected to the world. There's nobody this being denied
the opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Science has settled the dispute, although I'm not accepting the
science answer. Jonathan over under on the toilet paper. I
have long said that the over is the way to
go that shows class elegance. You're you're a low budget
(03:58):
loan if you use the under method on the toilet paper.
But according to doctor Primrose Freestone, that doesn't even sound
like a real name, Doctor Primrose Freestone, Professor of Clinical Microbiology.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
No, that's a carrottern the Afternoon animated TV series.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Apparently Doctor Primrose says that the under method is the
better way, and I don't even understand the explanation.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The over.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Method requires a second hand to touch the role. No,
it doesn't, which means that you have more risk of
contamination before we wipe contaminating with what. I didn't put
my hand up my butt.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't, But Primrose goes on to say there's more
handling of the toilet roll in the over position, and
from the under position you're less likely for whole role
contamination since you use only one hand to tear off
the toilet paper. However, surveys show seventy percent of Americans
prefer the over position.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm surprised we're having the conversation about concern over bacteria
transmitted through the hand when you're talking about one of
the most absorbed because that's the whether brag about it, right?
Or is that toilet paper that's no, that's paper towels,
most absorbent anyway, the softest, So it's a soft roll
of paper, and it's usually mounted like within a foot
(05:30):
and a half from the toilet where we know when
you flush the toilet, all it does is spray bacteria
all over the room. So the toilet paper has just
been absorbing bacteria. But this guy's concerned about his hand.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, that's one of the reasons they do recommend.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We haven't where the hell your hands, man, if I'm
to be concerned about it, because it touched the toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Apparently doctor Primrose thinks I wipe my hand with my
butt before I grab the toilet paper. I guess, but
we haven't talked about this lately, but they do recommend
I remember this, maybe that's chained, but shut the toilet
seat before you flush.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You're going to touch the toilet seat or you touch
it with your foot.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, you know the lid.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I should say you shut the toilet lid because that
cuts down, like the uh fecal projections by like ninety
seven percent. So right now the entire bathroom is filled
with fecal. Right, every time you flush the toilet, it
almost seems like the majority of it, you might as
(06:29):
well just pick it up and spread it on the wall.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
The way they talk.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
This is one of the most bizarre conversations that we
have today because it just had a lot of this conversation. Yesterday,
Sally and I stopped on the way back from Nashville
at a public rest, one of those public rest areas,
and thankfully those doors are usually mounted. We're at least
in the state of Tennessee where you can use your
foot to open it, so you don't have to touch the door.
You walk in, unzip your pants, do your business. Hopefully
(06:56):
it's got the motion detectas so you don't have to touch
the handle. You back out the outdoor, which you can
open with your foot. I never touched anything. Oh, and
I got out and she says, did you wash your hands?
And I said, no, My hands and the rest of
my body parts are cleaner than anything else in that room.
(07:19):
She said, well, that's the problem with men. They don't
wash their hands. And then they come out here and
we're standing in front of all those brochures for Dollywood,
and then they come out here and they manipulate all
these brochures after they had their hand on their penis,
and I said, now there's there's something I'd never considered before.
(07:39):
Its gracious, right, And then we start talking about the bacteria,
and she used the reason I didn't wash my hands
is because I noticed they didn't have any paper towels.
They had the blower, well the hot air blowers for
the internet would tell you it does nothing but the heat,
and then put bacteria on your hands, your.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Hands, spread it to your face. Now it spreads off
your hands to your face and all that sort of.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
All that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, I remember the it was oh, what was the
Don King? They had a Now I don't know if
Don King actually said this, but one of the opening
scenes of the show or the movie about Don King's
life shows him at the urinal and when Don King
(08:25):
is done, he zips up and he starts to walk
out of the restroom and one of the men in
the restroom says, yo, and you're gonna wash your hands,
and he says, I always wash my hands before I
touch it.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I'm not gonna touch that when walking out of wherever
I've been office spaces, using keyboards, wherever my hands have
been exposed, I'm not gonna bring all that bacteria into
the bathroom to put it on there.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Jonathan back on June fifteenth, Go late June fifteenth, two
days ago. Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, June fifteenth, But it wasn't yesterday.
It was June fifteenth, eighteen ninety. The doctors or the
veterinarians of the day, watched the hatching of an egg
(09:15):
on the Galapagos Islands. That egg was a turtle. The
turtle was then taken as a baby to the Bronx Zoo.
That lived in the Bronx Zoo until nineteen eighty one.
It was then moved all the way down to Miami.
Just like most New Yorkers, you know it's time for retirement,
(09:38):
you go to Florida. So moved to the Miami Zoo
in nineteen eighty one. So this turtle has been in
captivity since the day it was born in eighteen ninety
and I guess over the weekend to celebrate Father's Day,
became the oldest first time.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Dad and one hundred and what thirty five years old?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
One hundred and thirty five years old? Yes, congratulations, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Turtle time is actually in the negative compared to human time,
like dog times seven to one.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I don't know. First time is four to one, like
does it say when.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Turtle time is like minus point nine nine to one.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
They say, this is the oldest animal in the Miami Zoo.
His name is Goliath. Goliath weighs five hundred and seventeen pounds.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
He turned one hundred and thirty five years old on
Father's Day and became a father for the first time.
I'm sure he recognized all the significance of all that
he recognized it was his birthday. He recognized he was
becoming a dad for the first time. His sweet Pea
is actually named sweet Pea. She's eighty five, and so
(10:54):
she was able to mother I guess one of the
eggs that she had put out fertile or whatever. And
so that's how Goliath became a first time dad. So
the world is going crazy over is what they're againness
World Records is now I guess researchingness. It appears that
(11:14):
they're about to certify. Now they're not going to obviously
they can't go back to biblical times, they can't take
they don't trust the Bible. But they're going to say
he's the oldest first time father in history.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But they do a lot of research before they put
it in print.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, so Goliath.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I mean, I know that in the Bible we have
people who are like three hundred years old when they
became fathers, but well maybe not first time fathers.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's, you know, the oldest first time father in history.
I don't be hard to argue against that at one
hundred and thirty five. So congratulations to Goliath. I don't know,
do you know anybody who became a like I remember
Tony Randall wasn't a first time father, but he became
a father at like seventy five or something crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
That that's I think about the oldest I've ever heard of.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, he was the oldest that I remember. And he
lived still for a long time, like when Tony rand
and for those of you who don't even know who
Tony Randall is, I mean or.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Was, Yeah, he lived like to see the high school graduation.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I mean what an incredible human being he was, just
to lift that long and a wonderful actor. I guess,
probably best known for being on the Odd Couple probably,
but he was in a lot of fantastic movies. He
married a girl I'm looking it up now named Heather
Harlan in nineteen ninety five. He was born in nineteen twenty,
(12:35):
so he would have been what seventy five?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Then?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Am I doing the math right on that? I think?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So anyway, he had a child with her, and apparently
he lived to be he died in two thousand and four. So, Julie,
he had two kids. My gosh, Tony Randall.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Is say no, he had a second one once she
had it in.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
For it was born in nineteen ninety seven. And then
Jefferson was born on June fifteenth, Father's Day, nineteen ninety eight.
Tony Man, Happy birthday, Jefferson Randall. I didn't realize that
we had another you were.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
In the running. Maybe you would get a footnote mention
and in the Guinness Book of Records to mister Tortoise.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Wow, Tony Randall, what an interesting fellow. But maybe you
know an old dad, somebody who's like, you know, eighty
when they had to go to the high school graduation
or whatever. That'd be interesting to hear about that. And finally, Jonathan,
where was the we don't call the moral dilemmas on
any day other than Monday. Oh, this was the question,
(13:39):
Apparently there's a debate raging online about whether or not
it's a good idea to let your child or encourage
your teenager to get a summer job, and they're weighing.
I mean, obviously, we all know the benefits, right, teaches
your responsibility, gives you money, You build a budget value
(14:01):
of a dollar. Now you know what it costs in
order to buy that video game or whatever.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
But then they're also talking about the idea that the
kids puts a lot of stress in their lives. They've
were ending their childhood.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
They have to get up early on a Saturday or
on a summer day when they don't have school, so
they can be at work by ten.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, what do you think of that? Do you like
that idea?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Absolutely? I'm all about it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
When did you get your first job?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Find the world's worst summer job, and you find the
neighborhood's worst summer job and sign your kid.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Up for it?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Ooh, what's the worst job available?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I didn't actually do it, but I was told that
picking tobacco in Connecticut was the worst job.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I've talked. I did not grow up near a tobacco farm,
but everybody I've talked to. They had to pick tobacco
or harvest or any point of the process, and it's
the worst job ever.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I actually was interested in it because my job, my
first job, paid three thirty seven an hour. My second
job was two and a quarter an hour, but I
got tips. And I remember my friends telling me that
they were getting paid fifteen dollars an hour to pick.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Tobacco back in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
But they said they all were like, bro, when you
get home from work at like four in the afternoon, yeah,
because you got to go to work early, and so
we cut off at like three in the afternoon and
the heat of the day. That's like max that you're
done at three, but you can't go out at night,
like there's no going out with your boys. And like
my friend Pete was doing it, and he loved it
(15:46):
because he was like, look at the money I'm saving,
because normally I'd go out to eat with you guys
or do something fun. He's like, I get up at
like five in the morning, I go to work. I'm
in bed at like four point thirty in the afternoon
and like you know, I'm done and I sleep like
for like ten twelve hours.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I get up, but I go do it again.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But when Saturday comes around, I've got like a thousand
dollars in the bank and you all are talking about
you got no money. And he was buying every record
he wanted that summer.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
He has a big Saturday. Oh yeah, downtown he was.
He was a lunch out shopping.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
He was living the dream. But I don't know that's
I never tough job. I think my hardest job maybe
was my first job as a dishwasher. That might have been.
I also worked at my mother's She worked for a
liquor distributor. She was a wine salesperson for a while,
and working in the warehouse was very difficult. And part
(16:44):
of the reasons she wanted me to work that job
was so that, in her mind, I would then do
better in school, because that was between I think my
junior and senior year of high school. Yeah, and I
was kind of a screw up, and she was like,
this is the kind of job you're going to get.
Not that there's any shame this job, but look at
how hard these people have to work every day. They
(17:05):
got to be here at seven in the morning. I
mean you got to get up at like five thirty
and then when you get here, you just bust your hump.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
All day, all day.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I remember there was a guy named Billy, and Billy
I don't even remember Billy's last name, but Billy was like,
I don't know, I would guess he was fifties or so,
had the biggest beer belly I've ever seen. It was
just a belly. I mean there was no fat on
his face, no fat on his chest or his arms,
but this protruding belly. And he told me, I don't
(17:37):
know if he was telling me the truth or just
maybe just kind of exaggerating because I was a kid,
But he told me, I drink a six pack every
day for lunch, and I drink a twelve pack before
I go to bed.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And he said, I very rarely eat. Wow, this is
my life.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
The carbon taker is through the roof.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
That's all I have thought.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I don't chew no protein, rather have liquids, no protein diet.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I like the way beer tastes, and I like the
way it makes me feel. Although I don't really feel
a lot when I drink a six pack. Yeah, I
do feel a lot when I drink the twelve pack,
and it put it's a great thing puts me to bed.
I don't have to listen any I remember saying, I
don't have to listen to my wife. She likes to talk,
and you know, when I'm drinking my twelve pack, I
don't really hear her. And then I just know when
(18:23):
number twelve is done, it's time for bed. And I
remember trying to think, like, if I drank a twelve
pack every day, how miserable my life would be. Never
mind an eighteen pack. If I drink a six pack
at lunch after sweating all morning, like because we started
sweating it like, you know, eight thirty in the morning,
you were drenched. I don't know how he did it.
I don't think he lived very long. I think he
(18:45):
was probably dead by sixty. But that was I was like,
it didn't change my sinking.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Will say, that's part of my playing, Kelly.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I'm getting out of here early kicks.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Because if I lived the retirement, I just got to
go home and listen to my wife. Well, then I
got to drink beer all day long.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Did you have a really tough job as a kid.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Tough job, toughest job on the farm ever, and you'd
get hired out for it by neighboring farms. It was
the toughest job evert and Sally asked me about this
the other day because we drove past a field that
had the gigantic.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Rolls of hay. Oh I've seen those.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You said, did you have to do that? And I said, no,
I wish I had just back up the tractor of
that with a PTO pick it up and carry it
off and go put it in the row. But we
work with the ones that spit out the rectangular bales
of hay. They were about three feet long and about
eighteen inches wide, had two strands of twine around it.
(19:41):
You had to pick that thing up and throw it
up to the guy on the back of the truck,
which doesn't seem like much of a hassle until the
guy on the truck continues to stack him up and
now he's like twenty feet in the air. Now you
got to throw that damn haybale twenty feet in the air.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
That takes some muscles.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Ah All, and no water. That was back before they
had like those they glue water construction cooglars. Ye had
no water.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Well, we prioritize hydration these days. Back in the seventies,
not a whole lot of prioritizision of the hydration.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
But uh, he'll buy the house and grab the garden hose,
drink it straight out of the plastic.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
That was and that and you would just do it
for like thirty seconds. Yeah, And I mean it wasn't
coming out fast enough. But that's about all you were
going to get. I mean, you know, now we talk
about people. You see people walking around with like a
gallon jug of water. I don't think in the seventies
I would have drank a gallon in a week, like
(20:43):
when they were talking about like, you know, the it's
miserable chronic dehydration of Americans.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
We were dehydrated even.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Today, I mean we're still as a people group were
pretty dehydrated. But in the seventies, everybody was dehydrated.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
All that there were cotton mouth, we're all spit.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And we're all drinking hard water as they would call it,
you know, with all the chemicals in it and whatnot,
and the lead from the pipes.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Get it all. Get it all, bro.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's tough job right there. Oh, you got to show up.
You got to show up at the grocery store and
stand in the air conditioning and put groceries in a bag.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh, and then people complaining. There's gonna be the people complaining,
jobs and tough. I'm sixteen, and where's my summer funning?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Where is the summer funning? Okay, all right, we talk
about that. Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood? We

Hello, killing Nash, Good morning, Jonathan Tomorrow Shure today Tuesday,
the seventeenth of Juney, Yes, it is, I know, the
chance for win Thomas Red tickets. What you're talking about,
We give you the answer.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, it's already there right now at ninety seven five
w COS dot com. And uh, you know, it's one
of those things, Jonathan, where we never want you to guess.
We don't even want you to research it on your
own because there's a possibility that there's going to be
multiple definitions of a word.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We're constantly redefining words, so there's there's more definitions than ever. Well,
and you might just be wrong. Why just go about
proofing case or case in point? What is the word?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The word of the day is Athanasia.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Oh, this is an easy one. This is the original
name of the Titanic. But they just I don't know
how it came up in a group vote or what,
but it got voted down.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I mean there are multiple definitions of Athanasia, including one
is a plant with that name.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I wouldn't know with plants, Yeah, there's Unlicit produces a
product you can harvest on the farm. I wouldn't know
what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But if you go to the Morning Rust blog. The
answer that we want is immortality.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Athanasia is immortality.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
It comes from two Greek words. The first word is
the letter a, which means without, and the second word
is I think I'm pronouncing this right thanatos, which means death,
So without death. So the definition is immortality.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Immortality.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So somebody's reputation may have received Athanasia, and in magic
books they'll have a potion named Athanasia or something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So h tomorrow, immortality.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You win yourself tickets for Thomas Rhett in Charleston.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
The Veteran Boots Tour, and that is next Thursday night.
I felt like this Morning's Winter was a little confused
about it, and she was like, oh, it's Thursday.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's a school night.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It is a school night.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Plan Accordingly, don't call in if you if you're not
able to go on a Thursday night down to Charleston.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I remember if you wanted the past thirty days, you
can't win again.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's another good point, Jonathan. We hate, I hate, I
hate doing that beca.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We get the winner, then we go wait, mante you
won last.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Week, which lets us know that there's more room for
people to call.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
In and also we hang up on them and go
to the next caller.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, but I mean think about it.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
If these people can break through and continue to win,
then then y'all not calling enough. You all need to
get involved with this so you can get.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
These freaking yourself. It's never what are the chances I'm
going to make it through? Look, some people make it
through multiple times? Was it the chances are pretty good?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Was it MTV that used to have the real people
win with MTV because it was a national thing and
people didn't think that they could actually win the corvette
autographed by Sammy Hagar or whatever, and they would just
keep introducing you, this is so and so, this is
what he does for a job. He's you know, works
down here in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Are trying to convince you that everybody has an opportunity
to win. Why, Yeah, just because look, the phone line
is connected to the world. There's nobody this being denied
the opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Science has settled the dispute, although I'm not accepting the
science answer. Jonathan over under on the toilet paper. I
have long said that the over is the way to
go that shows class elegance. You're you're a low budget
(03:58):
loan if you use the under method on the toilet paper.
But according to doctor Primrose Freestone, that doesn't even sound
like a real name, Doctor Primrose Freestone, Professor of Clinical Microbiology.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
No, that's a carrottern the Afternoon animated TV series.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Apparently Doctor Primrose says that the under method is the
better way, and I don't even understand the explanation.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The over.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Method requires a second hand to touch the role. No,
it doesn't, which means that you have more risk of
contamination before we wipe contaminating with what. I didn't put
my hand up my butt.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't, But Primrose goes on to say there's more
handling of the toilet roll in the over position, and
from the under position you're less likely for whole role
contamination since you use only one hand to tear off
the toilet paper. However, surveys show seventy percent of Americans
prefer the over position.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm surprised we're having the conversation about concern over bacteria
transmitted through the hand when you're talking about one of
the most absorbed because that's the whether brag about it, right?
Or is that toilet paper that's no, that's paper towels,
most absorbent anyway, the softest, So it's a soft roll
of paper, and it's usually mounted like within a foot
(05:30):
and a half from the toilet where we know when
you flush the toilet, all it does is spray bacteria
all over the room. So the toilet paper has just
been absorbing bacteria. But this guy's concerned about his hand.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, that's one of the reasons they do recommend.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We haven't where the hell your hands, man, if I'm
to be concerned about it, because it touched the toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Apparently doctor Primrose thinks I wipe my hand with my
butt before I grab the toilet paper. I guess, but
we haven't talked about this lately, but they do recommend
I remember this, maybe that's chained, but shut the toilet
seat before you flush.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You're going to touch the toilet seat or you touch
it with your foot.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, you know the lid.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I should say you shut the toilet lid because that
cuts down, like the uh fecal projections by like ninety
seven percent. So right now the entire bathroom is filled
with fecal. Right, every time you flush the toilet, it
almost seems like the majority of it, you might as
(06:29):
well just pick it up and spread it on the wall.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
The way they talk.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
This is one of the most bizarre conversations that we
have today because it just had a lot of this conversation. Yesterday,
Sally and I stopped on the way back from Nashville
at a public rest, one of those public rest areas,
and thankfully those doors are usually mounted. We're at least
in the state of Tennessee where you can use your
foot to open it, so you don't have to touch the door.
You walk in, unzip your pants, do your business. Hopefully
(06:56):
it's got the motion detectas so you don't have to touch
the handle. You back out the outdoor, which you can
open with your foot. I never touched anything. Oh, and
I got out and she says, did you wash your hands?
And I said, no, My hands and the rest of
my body parts are cleaner than anything else in that room.
(07:19):
She said, well, that's the problem with men. They don't
wash their hands. And then they come out here and
we're standing in front of all those brochures for Dollywood,
and then they come out here and they manipulate all
these brochures after they had their hand on their penis,
and I said, now there's there's something I'd never considered before.
(07:39):
Its gracious, right, And then we start talking about the bacteria,
and she used the reason I didn't wash my hands
is because I noticed they didn't have any paper towels.
They had the blower, well the hot air blowers for
the internet would tell you it does nothing but the heat,
and then put bacteria on your hands, your.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Hands, spread it to your face. Now it spreads off
your hands to your face and all that sort of.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
All that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, I remember the it was oh, what was the
Don King? They had a Now I don't know if
Don King actually said this, but one of the opening
scenes of the show or the movie about Don King's
life shows him at the urinal and when Don King
(08:25):
is done, he zips up and he starts to walk
out of the restroom and one of the men in
the restroom says, yo, and you're gonna wash your hands,
and he says, I always wash my hands before I
touch it.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I'm not gonna touch that when walking out of wherever
I've been office spaces, using keyboards, wherever my hands have
been exposed, I'm not gonna bring all that bacteria into
the bathroom to put it on there.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Jonathan back on June fifteenth, Go late June fifteenth, two
days ago. Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, June fifteenth, But it wasn't yesterday.
It was June fifteenth, eighteen ninety. The doctors or the
veterinarians of the day, watched the hatching of an egg
(09:15):
on the Galapagos Islands. That egg was a turtle. The
turtle was then taken as a baby to the Bronx Zoo.
That lived in the Bronx Zoo until nineteen eighty one.
It was then moved all the way down to Miami.
Just like most New Yorkers, you know it's time for retirement,
(09:38):
you go to Florida. So moved to the Miami Zoo
in nineteen eighty one. So this turtle has been in
captivity since the day it was born in eighteen ninety
and I guess over the weekend to celebrate Father's Day,
became the oldest first time.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Dad and one hundred and what thirty five years old?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
One hundred and thirty five years old? Yes, congratulations, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Turtle time is actually in the negative compared to human time,
like dog times seven to one.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I don't know. First time is four to one, like
does it say when.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Turtle time is like minus point nine nine to one.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
They say, this is the oldest animal in the Miami Zoo.
His name is Goliath. Goliath weighs five hundred and seventeen pounds.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
He turned one hundred and thirty five years old on
Father's Day and became a father for the first time.
I'm sure he recognized all the significance of all that
he recognized it was his birthday. He recognized he was
becoming a dad for the first time. His sweet Pea
is actually named sweet Pea. She's eighty five, and so
(10:54):
she was able to mother I guess one of the
eggs that she had put out fertile or whatever. And
so that's how Goliath became a first time dad. So
the world is going crazy over is what they're againness
World Records is now I guess researchingness. It appears that
(11:14):
they're about to certify. Now they're not going to obviously
they can't go back to biblical times, they can't take
they don't trust the Bible. But they're going to say
he's the oldest first time father in history.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But they do a lot of research before they put
it in print.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, so Goliath.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I mean, I know that in the Bible we have
people who are like three hundred years old when they
became fathers, but well maybe not first time fathers.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's, you know, the oldest first time father in history.
I don't be hard to argue against that at one
hundred and thirty five. So congratulations to Goliath. I don't know,
do you know anybody who became a like I remember
Tony Randall wasn't a first time father, but he became
a father at like seventy five or something crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
That that's I think about the oldest I've ever heard of.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, he was the oldest that I remember. And he
lived still for a long time, like when Tony rand
and for those of you who don't even know who
Tony Randall is, I mean or.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Was, Yeah, he lived like to see the high school graduation.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I mean what an incredible human being he was, just
to lift that long and a wonderful actor. I guess,
probably best known for being on the Odd Couple probably,
but he was in a lot of fantastic movies. He
married a girl I'm looking it up now named Heather
Harlan in nineteen ninety five. He was born in nineteen twenty,
(12:35):
so he would have been what seventy five?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Then?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Am I doing the math right on that? I think?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So anyway, he had a child with her, and apparently
he lived to be he died in two thousand and four. So, Julie,
he had two kids. My gosh, Tony Randall.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Is say no, he had a second one once she
had it in.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
For it was born in nineteen ninety seven. And then
Jefferson was born on June fifteenth, Father's Day, nineteen ninety eight.
Tony Man, Happy birthday, Jefferson Randall. I didn't realize that
we had another you were.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
In the running. Maybe you would get a footnote mention
and in the Guinness Book of Records to mister Tortoise.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Wow, Tony Randall, what an interesting fellow. But maybe you
know an old dad, somebody who's like, you know, eighty
when they had to go to the high school graduation
or whatever. That'd be interesting to hear about that. And finally, Jonathan,
where was the we don't call the moral dilemmas on
any day other than Monday. Oh, this was the question,
(13:39):
Apparently there's a debate raging online about whether or not
it's a good idea to let your child or encourage
your teenager to get a summer job, and they're weighing.
I mean, obviously, we all know the benefits, right, teaches
your responsibility, gives you money, You build a budget value
(14:01):
of a dollar. Now you know what it costs in
order to buy that video game or whatever.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
But then they're also talking about the idea that the
kids puts a lot of stress in their lives. They've
were ending their childhood.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
They have to get up early on a Saturday or
on a summer day when they don't have school, so
they can be at work by ten.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, what do you think of that? Do you like
that idea?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Absolutely? I'm all about it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
When did you get your first job?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Find the world's worst summer job, and you find the
neighborhood's worst summer job and sign your kid.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Up for it?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Ooh, what's the worst job available?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I didn't actually do it, but I was told that
picking tobacco in Connecticut was the worst job.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I've talked. I did not grow up near a tobacco farm,
but everybody I've talked to. They had to pick tobacco
or harvest or any point of the process, and it's
the worst job ever.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I actually was interested in it because my job, my
first job, paid three thirty seven an hour. My second
job was two and a quarter an hour, but I
got tips. And I remember my friends telling me that
they were getting paid fifteen dollars an hour to pick.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Tobacco back in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
But they said they all were like, bro, when you
get home from work at like four in the afternoon, yeah,
because you got to go to work early, and so
we cut off at like three in the afternoon and
the heat of the day. That's like max that you're
done at three, but you can't go out at night,
like there's no going out with your boys. And like
my friend Pete was doing it, and he loved it
(15:46):
because he was like, look at the money I'm saving,
because normally I'd go out to eat with you guys
or do something fun. He's like, I get up at
like five in the morning, I go to work. I'm
in bed at like four point thirty in the afternoon
and like you know, I'm done and I sleep like
for like ten twelve hours.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I get up, but I go do it again.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But when Saturday comes around, I've got like a thousand
dollars in the bank and you all are talking about
you got no money. And he was buying every record
he wanted that summer.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
He has a big Saturday. Oh yeah, downtown he was.
He was a lunch out shopping.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
He was living the dream. But I don't know that's
I never tough job. I think my hardest job maybe
was my first job as a dishwasher. That might have been.
I also worked at my mother's She worked for a
liquor distributor. She was a wine salesperson for a while,
and working in the warehouse was very difficult. And part
(16:44):
of the reasons she wanted me to work that job
was so that, in her mind, I would then do
better in school, because that was between I think my
junior and senior year of high school. Yeah, and I
was kind of a screw up, and she was like,
this is the kind of job you're going to get.
Not that there's any shame this job, but look at
how hard these people have to work every day. They
(17:05):
got to be here at seven in the morning. I
mean you got to get up at like five thirty
and then when you get here, you just bust your hump.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
All day, all day.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I remember there was a guy named Billy, and Billy
I don't even remember Billy's last name, but Billy was like,
I don't know, I would guess he was fifties or so,
had the biggest beer belly I've ever seen. It was
just a belly. I mean there was no fat on
his face, no fat on his chest or his arms,
but this protruding belly. And he told me, I don't
(17:37):
know if he was telling me the truth or just
maybe just kind of exaggerating because I was a kid,
But he told me, I drink a six pack every
day for lunch, and I drink a twelve pack before
I go to bed.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And he said, I very rarely eat. Wow, this is
my life.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
The carbon taker is through the roof.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
That's all I have thought.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I don't chew no protein, rather have liquids, no protein diet.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I like the way beer tastes, and I like the
way it makes me feel. Although I don't really feel
a lot when I drink a six pack. Yeah, I
do feel a lot when I drink the twelve pack,
and it put it's a great thing puts me to bed.
I don't have to listen any I remember saying, I
don't have to listen to my wife. She likes to talk,
and you know, when I'm drinking my twelve pack, I
don't really hear her. And then I just know when
(18:23):
number twelve is done, it's time for bed. And I
remember trying to think, like, if I drank a twelve
pack every day, how miserable my life would be. Never
mind an eighteen pack. If I drink a six pack
at lunch after sweating all morning, like because we started
sweating it like, you know, eight thirty in the morning,
you were drenched. I don't know how he did it.
I don't think he lived very long. I think he
(18:45):
was probably dead by sixty. But that was I was like,
it didn't change my sinking.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Will say, that's part of my playing, Kelly.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I'm getting out of here early kicks.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Because if I lived the retirement, I just got to
go home and listen to my wife. Well, then I
got to drink beer all day long.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Did you have a really tough job as a kid.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Tough job, toughest job on the farm ever, and you'd
get hired out for it by neighboring farms. It was
the toughest job evert and Sally asked me about this
the other day because we drove past a field that
had the gigantic.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Rolls of hay. Oh I've seen those.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You said, did you have to do that? And I said, no,
I wish I had just back up the tractor of
that with a PTO pick it up and carry it
off and go put it in the row. But we
work with the ones that spit out the rectangular bales
of hay. They were about three feet long and about
eighteen inches wide, had two strands of twine around it.
(19:41):
You had to pick that thing up and throw it
up to the guy on the back of the truck,
which doesn't seem like much of a hassle until the
guy on the truck continues to stack him up and
now he's like twenty feet in the air. Now you
got to throw that damn haybale twenty feet in the air.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
That takes some muscles.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Ah All, and no water. That was back before they
had like those they glue water construction cooglars. Ye had
no water.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Well, we prioritize hydration these days. Back in the seventies,
not a whole lot of prioritizision of the hydration.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
But uh, he'll buy the house and grab the garden hose,
drink it straight out of the plastic.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
That was and that and you would just do it
for like thirty seconds. Yeah, And I mean it wasn't
coming out fast enough. But that's about all you were
going to get. I mean, you know, now we talk
about people. You see people walking around with like a
gallon jug of water. I don't think in the seventies
I would have drank a gallon in a week, like
(20:43):
when they were talking about like, you know, the it's
miserable chronic dehydration of Americans.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
We were dehydrated even.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Today, I mean we're still as a people group were
pretty dehydrated. But in the seventies, everybody was dehydrated.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
All that there were cotton mouth, we're all spit.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And we're all drinking hard water as they would call it,
you know, with all the chemicals in it and whatnot,
and the lead from the pipes.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Get it all. Get it all, bro.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's tough job right there. Oh, you got to show up.
You got to show up at the grocery store and
stand in the air conditioning and put groceries in a bag.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh, and then people complaining. There's gonna be the people complaining,
jobs and tough. I'm sixteen, and where's my summer funning?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Where is the summer funning? Okay, all right, we talk
about that. Hey, what's going on in your neighborhood? We
