I'm digging into all the wild, hilarious, and sometimes absurd lies our parents told us growing up — from. It's silly, nostalgic, and a little bit shocking — because some of those “truths” really made us believe anything!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning. H Kiss
one bye. Mom told me when I was growing up
that if I smoked a cigarette then I would blow up.
So I told the whole pool, and at the end
of eighth grade, a whole bunch of people dared me
to smoke a.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Cigarette and see if I would blow up.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Guess what I didn't and you did it? Wow, beg
you for the talk backus if that made me giggle
this morning. The microphones in the top right hand corner
of the iHeartRadio app. We're in the midst of kicking
off a conversation about the lies your parents told you
growing up, and I too, am scarred by the even oh,
(00:38):
the thought of even thinking about putting the overhead light
on in the car while driving. I mean, where are
the police? Might as well get him here now. Illegal lies,
by the way, is the keyword that you're gonna need
to win the Tacos in Tequila Festival tickets. Have you
heard about? This show? Lineup is sick. It's a a
(00:59):
Florenci Stadium on October fourth. Lil John Bow Wow and
Soldier Boy, Pretty Ricky Camellionaire, Paul Wall, who else like Twista,
Mike Jones, Bubba Sparks, A bunch of people and performers
are going to be at this festival, so you'll need
the keyword lies. I have those tickets in Mike ten
or so minutes. Yeah, we're in the midst of chit
chatting about the lies your parents told you, and some
(01:21):
of them are funny, and it's because now as an adult,
you know they're so ridiculous, but there's still something inside
your gut that tells you that it's true. And the
reason why we're chit chatting about it this morning too,
is my girlfriend has a toddler, and some of my
friends have kids now, and you know they'll that will
(01:42):
catch up. And you know, like one day, Ashley didn't
want to bring her son Bennett to the park, so
she had said, oh, you know, the park is closed.
The park's not closed.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
The things my parents used to tell me my brothers
and cousins is that you had to wait thirty minutes
after eating before going back into the pool or the
ocean at the beach.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Right, I mean, that was a classic. Are we still
not doing that to this day? As an adult, I
avoid water thirty minutes post meal.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I remember being told if you were making a.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Mean art nasty face that if you didn't stop it,
your face was going to freeze like that.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh yeah, that's a classic.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I'm currently lying to my toddler, who actually believes me
because during my entire time with him alive, I've had
teeth problems, having to wear adult braces and having failed implants.
So my lie is to tell him you got to
brush your teeth or you're gonna lose your teeth, And
I always show him the gaping hole currently where my
missic implant is.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well, you know, like a healthy white line five win,
three seven, four nine, one oh seven one if you've
got one for me, or you can also utilize that
same talk back feature. It's like leaving me voice notes.
I'm checking voice notes all day. Microphone is in the
top right hand corner. Lie is the keyword you're going
to need for the tacos in tequila fest tics coming
up here in a few.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Don't go Far Cool.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
That is certainly a way to kick off our Monday.
I needed that pick me up. I knew every word
to that song. Also a great one for karaoke. We're
in the midst of talking about lies your parents told
you all growing up. Good morning, Good morning, This is jen.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
One of the myths that.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I was told by my local ice cream taluk is
if UI ate pop rocks and drank soda, our stomachs
would explode.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Happy Monday, Yeah, Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
A lie.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Drive around with your head light, the lamp on inside
your car. The police are coming. That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
My mom told me when I was growing up that
if I smoked a cigarette then I would blow up.
So I told the whole school, and at the end
of eighth grade, a whole bunch of people dared me
to smoke a cigarette and see if I would blow up.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Guess what I didn't, didn't blow up, Still alive, still well,
hopefully not rip in traditional things. That was one of
my favorite ones so far this morning. By the way,
lie is the keyword you're gonna need in just a
minute or two here to win the Tacos in Tequila
Fest ticket. So Uncle farm I used.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
To lie as a babysitter and tell the little kid that, uh,
if he went to bed, I would let him get
up after five minutes, and he couldn't tell time, so
I would just leave him in there and every once
in a while, he'd has it been five minutes, and
I'd say not yet.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Core memory, and you probably scarred him. I'm wondering what
his parents would.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Have thought of that one.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Okay, Tacoes in Tequila Fest is happening October fourth at
the Florence y'all Stadium and the lineup is Chris Hey.

take care of you with tickets. I'll be a fun one.
You don't want to lie that I was told, not

even as a kid. This isn't as an adult that
if you drink tea it'll help with your voice, Okay,
not helping with my voice. And it tastes disgusting. If
you're out here drinking green tea every day, I need
to know who you are because.
Speaker 1 (06:28):

Speaker 3 (06:30):
In the meantime, we're still commercial free. I hope you're
off to a good start, we're not far away from
