One day in Venus is longer thanits year Wow.
It takes Venus longer to rotateonce 243 Earth days than to

Well, Mercury is closest, but Venus is the
hottest.

Speaker 3 (10:35):

And last fun fact Did you knowyou get taller in space, janine?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Really yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Maybe you know, because when we start to get

Everyone's favorite redneck,paul from Beaumont.
Paul, yesterday, when I wastalking to you, you told me that
Rhonda and your kids told youthey thought you were fat and
they wanted you to get one ofthose fat shots.
So today you have the day offand you're going to go get your

(11:57):
fat shot right.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
No, I dipped out of it.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh no, why.
Why'd you dip out on the fatshot?

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, last night Rodney said hey, I didn't order
no Dr Pepper's and I didn'torder no Ding Dongs or Oreos and
the good stuff I like.
I was like why not?
She's like well, you can't eatthat no more.
When you're on the shot, I saidhold on.
Well, I thought that would justmake it where I'd eat less of
it.
Right, she's like no, you gotto change everything.

(12:26):
And then that was a gamechanger.
And then when she told me, yeah, you're going to give your shot
to yourself, that was it.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh, so you would just go to the doctor and then they
would give you the shots andthen you have to.
No, no, you do it at the house.
Oh, you have to do it yourself.
I don't, because I ain't doingit, it doesn't.
They act like it's this magicalshot.
But if you have to like, changehow you eat and you don't get
to eat your favorite stuff, thatdoesn't sound so magical.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
No, no, no, no no.
I thought it just made me, likeyou know, maybe a quarter pack
of Oreos instead of half a pack.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
How mad is Rhonda going to be?
Does she know yet?

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Oh, she was, she was mad this morning because my
appointment was at 8.15.
At 8.15, she woke me up andsaid your appointment, sidney.
I told you last night I wasn'tgoing.
