Speaker 1 (00:00):
Trisia, Welcome to the Overachievers Club.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I've been here, I have not Oh okay, yeah, no I
should welcome be welcoming year.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah. I've not been in this club very often in
my life ever ever, ever. In fact, I've been in
the low achiever bracket for most of my life. But
now I feel like an overachiever. And I'll tell you why.
I'm both Tricia and I have done it. I have
already ordered for you two Christmas presents.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, I like the sound of that.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yep, two of them, and they'll probably be wrapped before
the tree goes.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Up, really go to the first weekend in December.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
They'll be wrapped by then.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah. Where are you gonna put them else?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Somewhere somewhere to make sure I see them, Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yes, because I don't want to listen to Tricia complain
that there's no presence under the tree for ooh, for.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So long all the tree would be filled with all
kinds of wrapped presents underneath it, and I not one
single one of them would be mine.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Christian's always still still looks at Christmas as if she
was nine years old.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
No, that's not what it is. If we're nine years old.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I would be counting the number of presents that were
for me under the tree, but the fact that all
these beautiful presents are wrapped under their tree, for all
these people, and not a single one of them is
for me because you like to wait until December twenty fourth,
not this year to do your Christmas shopping this year, not.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
This year, And god, I hope I get this. The
one I hate the most is the stupid stocking guy walking.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So the best Santa does the best job with the stockings.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah, I don't care for the stock Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
The stockings are my favorite.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I ordered my very first Christmas present over the weekend
as well, and it was for.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
You, not even our kid, yep, overachiever, Yeah, it was
for me. Yeah, it's for you.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
That's good. How do you know what I want?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I just know I know things, Sandy, you do.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I know I know things that you want, and then
I sometimes give you things that you don't know you want.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Until you give them to me.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Right yep.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
So what's the goal is? What's the goal? Wouldn't to
have Christmas shopping done by.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Just as soon as possible. I mean I waited too
late last year. I mean, I've done it in years
before where I'm done super early. Yeah, And that's a
great feeling. And that's that's what I'm going for this year.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Something happened last year and I got way behind, like
two days before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Still getting him in the mail and wrapping him right.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
My goal is to not to buy, not step foot
into any brick and mortar place.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
To get a gift.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Times you have to do that well, especially gift cards. Yeah.
I like the gift certificates to certain places that I
know you like, I'll have to go there. But like
to go into a big department store and shop no
thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, I try to do that too. It just depends
on who it's for though. Sometimes there's no way to
avoid that, Like with your kid, Are you gonna sit
on Santa's lap this year?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I might.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I think last year we didn't do a Santa picture
last year, No.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We didn't with with with our daughter, with their daughter,
she's a little long in the tooth to be si.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, so you are never too old to sit on
Santa's lap? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You're funny, You're very I bet if we asked her, Hey,
do you want to go to the mall and sit
on Santa's life?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
She would oh, no, I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
A Texter right now and ask her. Yeah, go ahead,
won't you ask her? She'll say no, I know her
better than you do.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, let me see here, there's.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
No doubt, and she won't respond quick enough. You know what,
Just hang tight with us. We'll get that response from
her via text and we will share it with you
coming up next.

been making some mistakes in some tweets that he's been sending.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
We'll get to that in just a second. If you're
with us.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Just a little bit ago, Triciaan and I were having
a discussion. I wouldn't say, an argument of whether or
not our fifteen year old would want to go sit
on Santa's lap at the mall.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I'm like, she's no way she would want to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Christa said she would, so she texted her and after
a little bit back and forth like is he a
creepy Sanna or is he this or that, she finally
said yes, she would, Yeah, I would, very very surprising
to me.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, or she would.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I find I thought.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
She was more grown up than that story.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Such a scrooge, Sandy, I'm going to be all season. No, great,
that's awesome, looking forward to that. Let's talk about the pope.
But Francis keeps accidentally tweeting about the New Orleans Saints
when he's trying to tweet about the actual Saints, and
it is turned into this very cute, adorable little back
and forth between the football team and the pope. You know,
(04:37):
he's very very active on I still say Twitter but
X formerly known as Twitter, and he keeps using the
hashtag Saints. What he does not realize is when you
type hashtag Saints, it automatically puts the Saints football team
Fleur de lee emblem, so it looks like he's actually
tweeting about the football team.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Here's what of the ones he put.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
On November fifth, he posted the hashtag Saints and the
little flurt to ly popped up our precious pearls and
are always living and relevant because they provide a fascinating
commentary on the Gospel. Their lives are an illustration of
the good news that Jesus brought to humanity. So now
the New Orleans Saints are having fun with the mixed up.
They're reposting the Pontiff's messages and they're thanking him for
(05:22):
his prayers, and they're telling that we really need it,
you really need it. Thank you for your prayers, Pontiffs.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Hold on, let me look up and see what the
Saints did yesterday. Oh yeah, let me see here. Hold
let me while you're.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Looking that up, I'll tell you about another one of
the Pope's tweets. It said, we cannot become hashtag saints
and again the flur de lee with a frown. We
must have joyful hearts that remain open to hope. So
the NFL's Saints reposted it and wrote aimin hashtag Saints.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The Holy Father's doing I'm right because they beat the
Falcons twenty to seventeen years really.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Telling you, Oh, so I have no idea, they're saying,
if the Pope or a social medium team social media
team have noticed that the logos showing up. They simply
don't mind. Maybe that the extra eyes around the Pope's posts. Yeah,
I don't know, but I think it's really really cute.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
The Saints are dependable, like the real the human the
Saints people, you're not the team like you gotta know
your Saints.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh yeah, oh no, no, no, I found that for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Trisia was having a tough time sleeping, so we looked
up the patron saint for sleep and Tricia it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Is Ymphna, Saint Dympna.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yep, we said a little prayer to dymph Nat both
she came through.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Mm hm, sat handled it.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
You know who I think must be really busy? Is
we licked up a couple of times? A patron saint
of the lottery.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I think that he's telling out a lot of people
asking him for stuff, is that he has not come
through for us yet.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But I'm not giving up.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
No, don't give up. Don't give up on your Saints,
that's for sure. But that's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
The Pope, Pope Francis like, who are the New Orleans Saints?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Like what?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
What?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Who are?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Right?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
That's not what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But okay, all right, before the Internet, there were dial
up services where you could dial up to a service
and you could kind.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Of cruise the web.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It wasn't the Web yet, but it was a lot
of information, a lot of chat rooms, a lot of things,
and one of the most popular ones was AOL. And
as soon as you logged in, if you had received
an email from somebody, you got this message.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
You got mail.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Very memorable. That's so that it just takes me back
to those days.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
You got mail.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, the guy that voiced that he passed away. Yeah,
his name was Elwood Edwards. He died last week. He
was seventy four years old, known by millions as the
voice from America Online. And what's really interesting about this
is that in nineteen ninety eight, fifty percent of the
CDs produced worldwide had an AOL logo on it. Wow.
(07:54):
They were logging in new subscrib subscribers at the rate
of one every six second. Wow. Verizon bought AOL in
twenty fifteen for four point four billion. Geez. I think
they lost money on that. I'm not sure, but I
think they probably did. I don't even know, Like, if
(08:15):
you logged onto the web to AOL dot com, is
it still there. I don't even know. I have no idea,
have no.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Clue if it's still there.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Another little interesting fun fact about this guy is that
this this clip kind of circulated a few years ago,
about twenty sixteen, she discovered that her Uber driver was
Elwood Edwards, the voice of You've Got Mail.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
This is my Uber driver, and he just told me
something very special, that he's the voice.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Behind Welcome You've got Mail, No way again, Welcome You've
got mailh Okay, what's your name?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Elwood Edwards, Ellwood Edwards, thank you you bet Nah?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
That's sweet. And I just looked him up. He looks
like an adorable little people. He looks very sweet.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
He got paid two hundred dollars back in nineteen eighty
nine to record those four lines for AOL.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And he thought he was probably getting paid really well.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Probably so Oh my gosh. She was on the Tonight
Show in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Really yeah. Was he a voice actor or something?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
He just went on and he was stilling the story
of how he got the gig, which and I want
to know the story of how he got the gig.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
He could have been in the right place at the
right time. Yeah, you've got now, ye all he had
to say. It's all he had to say, Yeah, pretty interesting.
And that was way before. Like kids today, if you
tried to explain to them what AOL was, they have
no clue.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
No, I was a prodigy guy too. Do you remember
a Prodigy?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I mean maybe I don't know. It was kind of
right there with AO. It was before I It came
loaded on my very first computer. Yeah, and or maybe
it didn't. I don't remember. It was very similar to AOL,
but AOL was way more popular.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I remember the only the first that I ever tried
to do with a computer to burn CDs. Yeah, and
oh my gosh, it was an all night It was
a nightmare project.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
It was so difficult.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Like this will never catch on.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I know. I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
But it was weird.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It was really interesting because you could connect with anybody
in the world. Yeah. I never did that. If you
were chatting in a chat room, it was always like
where are you from?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
And it would be like Belarus and like no way.
Then you're like, what time is it in Belarus? You
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
It was just a completely different world, right, It was crazy,
But oh, Elwood Edwards. He was only seventy four.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Only other time I've ever heard the word Elwood was
from dan Aykroyd's character in Blues Brothers.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
That's right, that's the only other time I've heard that name.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Mama named him Elwood.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Sam, You're Elwood, baby Lwood, baby Elwood.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Ripped to the l Wood YEP more coming up on
Austin's eighty station what O three point one and streaming
on the iHeartRadio as Rapidfire Q and A coming up
in just a second, and you'll know we are officially
on the record when you hear the lasers.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
And I would like to say this again.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It is interesting that as I write these questions, there
are questions I don't know the answer to. And you
think I would know, because Christian, i'd been married for
sixteen years and been together for twenty one years.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
But I honestly don't know the answer to these questions.
So you're ready in.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Her mystery left in our relationship.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Apparently a little bit. Christ What time of day do
you look forward to the most?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh, that's easy. Bedtime.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I love it when I showered and everything is put
away in its place, everything is done, and I get
to go lay in the bed, assume the position with
my phone and the remote, and watch DBN play on
my phone until I decide to take my meds and
go to sleep.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And it's something that our daughter doesn't quite grasp that
you can't go to sleep until she's.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Done, until she's done doing all of her stuff. Yeah,
because I'm involved in most of the stuff. And once
I take my meds and go to sleep, God help
you if you wake me up.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I like sand.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Josha, what's the last thing you saw that made you
do a double take?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Ow? A double take?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Do you know what I mean by a double take?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah? Maybe go what? Wait?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
What?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
The only thing I can think of, and this was
a few weeks ago, but it's my favorite thing in
a while. Is that little boy at the football stadium. Oh,
that little nerdy kid, the little nerdy modern day Steve
Erkle is what I call him.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I would say, what do you think?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
He was like seven seven eight something like that, seven
eight years old? We were at a football game. He
had on his jean shorts that I think we're a
little too big for him, and he had them pulled
up high and cinched up with a belt.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He had a sleeveless T shirt on, tucked way in.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Heiee socks, heinee socks.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
What kind of shoes was he wearing?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Was he just wearing normally tennis shoes or something? And
he had a buzz cut, but he kind of long
enough to where he had you could see that he
had some gel in there to make it stand up,
and jiged gigantic glasses, a gigantic glasses. And all I'm
going to tell you is that I could not stop
looking at this little boy. You know that he took
(13:09):
so much pride in getting ready, in his appearance and
his clothes and that whole look they had put together.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
He was ready to rise up some grass.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I was looking for some girls to rise for sure.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, he was. Tricia could not she fell in love
with that little bit.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I could not stop talking about him, And I talked
about him three or four.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Times since then.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
And we'll probably never see him again.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Oh God, I hope we seehim in another game, Trisa.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This last one is always the easiest one, the silliest
of the questions. When it comes to donuts, Are you
a frosted, glazed or jelly filled kind of girl.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Oh, not frosted. Definitely not frosted, glazed or jelly filled.
I'm kind of old school glazed. But I never have
one donut that I don't have two, and it's always
one glazed one filled.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, even like the lemon filled, don't you.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I do like the filled. I don't want a raspberry
filled win though.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
No.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
No, I like a strawberry like a lemon. I don't
want a custard filled.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You used to you went through a period of time
where you ate the meme A with dunkers, the plain
j two.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
You don't dunk though, No, I don't dunk. I don't
want all those crumbs.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
You don't dunk anything right.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
No, at an oreo and milk, and then you have
all the crumbs in the bottom of your milk glass.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I like the dunk donuts sometimes. No, I don't ever
dunk a donut.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Really, I don't. You should try it?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
No, I like, I don't want my foods touching.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Now you want donuts, right, yep?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Now I want donuts?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Can I tell you that?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
On Sunday I had a warm miniature donut with the
Lucky Charms marshmallows sprinkled on top of it.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Oh like the ones that you get that like a fair.
It was it was in like a food truck. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And I also I couldn't choice between lucky charms or
fruity pebbles.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I want lucky Charms. That's disappointed.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I don't go wrong with that.
Trisia, Welcome to the Overachievers Club.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I've been here, I have not Oh okay, yeah, no I
should welcome be welcoming year.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah. I've not been in this club very often in
my life ever ever, ever. In fact, I've been in
the low achiever bracket for most of my life. But
now I feel like an overachiever. And I'll tell you why.
I'm both Tricia and I have done it. I have
already ordered for you two Christmas presents.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, I like the sound of that.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yep, two of them, and they'll probably be wrapped before
the tree goes.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Up, really go to the first weekend in December.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
They'll be wrapped by then.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah. Where are you gonna put them else?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Somewhere somewhere to make sure I see them, Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yes, because I don't want to listen to Tricia complain
that there's no presence under the tree for ooh, for.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So long all the tree would be filled with all
kinds of wrapped presents underneath it, and I not one
single one of them would be mine.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Christian's always still still looks at Christmas as if she
was nine years old.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
No, that's not what it is. If we're nine years old.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I would be counting the number of presents that were
for me under the tree, but the fact that all
these beautiful presents are wrapped under their tree, for all
these people, and not a single one of them is
for me because you like to wait until December twenty fourth,
not this year to do your Christmas shopping this year, not.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
This year, And god, I hope I get this. The
one I hate the most is the stupid stocking guy walking.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So the best Santa does the best job with the stockings.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah, I don't care for the stock Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
The stockings are my favorite.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I ordered my very first Christmas present over the weekend
as well, and it was for.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
You, not even our kid, yep, overachiever, Yeah, it was
for me. Yeah, it's for you.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
That's good. How do you know what I want?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I just know I know things, Sandy, you do.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I know I know things that you want, and then
I sometimes give you things that you don't know you want.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Until you give them to me.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Right yep.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
So what's the goal is? What's the goal? Wouldn't to
have Christmas shopping done by.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Just as soon as possible. I mean I waited too
late last year. I mean, I've done it in years
before where I'm done super early. Yeah, And that's a
great feeling. And that's that's what I'm going for this year.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Something happened last year and I got way behind, like
two days before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Still getting him in the mail and wrapping him right.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
My goal is to not to buy, not step foot
into any brick and mortar place.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
To get a gift.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Times you have to do that well, especially gift cards. Yeah.
I like the gift certificates to certain places that I
know you like, I'll have to go there. But like
to go into a big department store and shop no
thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, I try to do that too. It just depends
on who it's for though. Sometimes there's no way to
avoid that, Like with your kid, Are you gonna sit
on Santa's lap this year?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I might.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I think last year we didn't do a Santa picture
last year, No.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We didn't with with with our daughter, with their daughter,
she's a little long in the tooth to be si.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, so you are never too old to sit on
Santa's lap? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You're funny, You're very I bet if we asked her, Hey,
do you want to go to the mall and sit
on Santa's life?
Speaker 4 (02:58):

been making some mistakes in some tweets that he's been sending.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
We'll get to that in just a second. If you're
with us.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Just a little bit ago, Triciaan and I were having
a discussion. I wouldn't say, an argument of whether or
not our fifteen year old would want to go sit
on Santa's lap at the mall.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I'm like, she's no way she would want to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Christa said she would, so she texted her and after
a little bit back and forth like is he a
creepy Sanna or is he this or that, she finally
said yes, she would, Yeah, I would, very very surprising
to me.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, or she would.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I find I thought.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
She was more grown up than that story.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Such a scrooge, Sandy, I'm going to be all season. No, great,
that's awesome, looking forward to that. Let's talk about the pope.
But Francis keeps accidentally tweeting about the New Orleans Saints
when he's trying to tweet about the actual Saints, and
it is turned into this very cute, adorable little back
and forth between the football team and the pope. You know,
(04:37):
he's very very active on I still say Twitter but
X formerly known as Twitter, and he keeps using the
hashtag Saints. What he does not realize is when you
type hashtag Saints, it automatically puts the Saints football team
Fleur de lee emblem, so it looks like he's actually
tweeting about the football team.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Here's what of the ones he put.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
On November fifth, he posted the hashtag Saints and the
little flurt to ly popped up our precious pearls and
are always living and relevant because they provide a fascinating
commentary on the Gospel. Their lives are an illustration of
the good news that Jesus brought to humanity. So now
the New Orleans Saints are having fun with the mixed up.
They're reposting the Pontiff's messages and they're thanking him for
(05:22):
his prayers, and they're telling that we really need it,
you really need it. Thank you for your prayers, Pontiffs.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Hold on, let me look up and see what the
Saints did yesterday. Oh yeah, let me see here. Hold
let me while you're.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Looking that up, I'll tell you about another one of
the Pope's tweets. It said, we cannot become hashtag saints
and again the flur de lee with a frown. We
must have joyful hearts that remain open to hope. So
the NFL's Saints reposted it and wrote aimin hashtag Saints.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The Holy Father's doing I'm right because they beat the
Falcons twenty to seventeen years really.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Telling you, Oh, so I have no idea, they're saying,
if the Pope or a social medium team social media
team have noticed that the logos showing up. They simply
don't mind. Maybe that the extra eyes around the Pope's posts. Yeah,
I don't know, but I think it's really really cute.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
The Saints are dependable, like the real the human the
Saints people, you're not the team like you gotta know
your Saints.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh yeah, oh no, no, no, I found that for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Trisia was having a tough time sleeping, so we looked
up the patron saint for sleep and Tricia it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Is Ymphna, Saint Dympna.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yep, we said a little prayer to dymph Nat both
she came through.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Mm hm, sat handled it.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
You know who I think must be really busy? Is
we licked up a couple of times? A patron saint
of the lottery.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I think that he's telling out a lot of people
asking him for stuff, is that he has not come
through for us yet.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But I'm not giving up.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
No, don't give up. Don't give up on your Saints,
that's for sure. But that's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
The Pope, Pope Francis like, who are the New Orleans Saints?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Like what?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
What?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Who are?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Right?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
That's not what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But okay, all right, before the Internet, there were dial
up services where you could dial up to a service
and you could kind.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Of cruise the web.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It wasn't the Web yet, but it was a lot
of information, a lot of chat rooms, a lot of things,
and one of the most popular ones was AOL. And
as soon as you logged in, if you had received
an email from somebody, you got this message.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
You got mail.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Very memorable. That's so that it just takes me back
to those days.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
You got mail.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, the guy that voiced that he passed away. Yeah,
his name was Elwood Edwards. He died last week. He
was seventy four years old, known by millions as the
voice from America Online. And what's really interesting about this
is that in nineteen ninety eight, fifty percent of the
CDs produced worldwide had an AOL logo on it. Wow.
(07:54):
They were logging in new subscrib subscribers at the rate
of one every six second. Wow. Verizon bought AOL in
twenty fifteen for four point four billion. Geez. I think
they lost money on that. I'm not sure, but I
think they probably did. I don't even know, Like, if
(08:15):
you logged onto the web to AOL dot com, is
it still there. I don't even know. I have no idea,
have no.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Clue if it's still there.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Another little interesting fun fact about this guy is that
this this clip kind of circulated a few years ago,
about twenty sixteen, she discovered that her Uber driver was
Elwood Edwards, the voice of You've Got Mail.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
This is my Uber driver, and he just told me
something very special, that he's the voice.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Behind Welcome You've got Mail, No way again, Welcome You've
got mailh Okay, what's your name?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Elwood Edwards, Ellwood Edwards, thank you you bet Nah?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
That's sweet. And I just looked him up. He looks
like an adorable little people. He looks very sweet.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
He got paid two hundred dollars back in nineteen eighty
nine to record those four lines for AOL.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And he thought he was probably getting paid really well.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Probably so Oh my gosh. She was on the Tonight
Show in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Really yeah. Was he a voice actor or something?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
He just went on and he was stilling the story
of how he got the gig, which and I want
to know the story of how he got the gig.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
He could have been in the right place at the
right time. Yeah, you've got now, ye all he had
to say. It's all he had to say, Yeah, pretty interesting.
And that was way before. Like kids today, if you
tried to explain to them what AOL was, they have
no clue.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
No, I was a prodigy guy too. Do you remember
a Prodigy?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I mean maybe I don't know. It was kind of
right there with AO. It was before I It came
loaded on my very first computer. Yeah, and or maybe
it didn't. I don't remember. It was very similar to AOL,
but AOL was way more popular.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I remember the only the first that I ever tried
to do with a computer to burn CDs. Yeah, and
oh my gosh, it was an all night It was
a nightmare project.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
It was so difficult.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Like this will never catch on.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I know. I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
But it was weird.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It was really interesting because you could connect with anybody
in the world. Yeah. I never did that. If you
were chatting in a chat room, it was always like
where are you from?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
And it would be like Belarus and like no way.
Then you're like, what time is it in Belarus? You
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
It was just a completely different world, right, It was crazy,
But oh, Elwood Edwards. He was only seventy four.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Only other time I've ever heard the word Elwood was
from dan Aykroyd's character in Blues Brothers.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
That's right, that's the only other time I've heard that name.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Mama named him Elwood.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Sam, You're Elwood, baby Lwood, baby Elwood.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Ripped to the l Wood YEP more coming up on
Austin's eighty station what O three point one and streaming
on the iHeartRadio as Rapidfire Q and A coming up
in just a second, and you'll know we are officially
on the record when you hear the lasers.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
And I would like to say this again.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It is interesting that as I write these questions, there
are questions I don't know the answer to. And you
think I would know, because Christian, i'd been married for
sixteen years and been together for twenty one years.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
But I honestly don't know the answer to these questions.
So you're ready in.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Her mystery left in our relationship.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Apparently a little bit. Christ What time of day do
you look forward to the most?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh, that's easy. Bedtime.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I love it when I showered and everything is put
away in its place, everything is done, and I get
to go lay in the bed, assume the position with
my phone and the remote, and watch DBN play on
my phone until I decide to take my meds and
go to sleep.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And it's something that our daughter doesn't quite grasp that
you can't go to sleep until she's.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Done, until she's done doing all of her stuff. Yeah,
because I'm involved in most of the stuff. And once
I take my meds and go to sleep, God help
you if you wake me up.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I like sand.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Josha, what's the last thing you saw that made you
do a double take?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Ow? A double take?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Do you know what I mean by a double take?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah? Maybe go what? Wait?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
What?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
The only thing I can think of, and this was
a few weeks ago, but it's my favorite thing in
a while. Is that little boy at the football stadium. Oh,
that little nerdy kid, the little nerdy modern day Steve
Erkle is what I call him.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I would say, what do you think?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
He was like seven seven eight something like that, seven
eight years old? We were at a football game. He
had on his jean shorts that I think we're a
little too big for him, and he had them pulled
up high and cinched up with a belt.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He had a sleeveless T shirt on, tucked way in.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Heiee socks, heinee socks.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
What kind of shoes was he wearing?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Was he just wearing normally tennis shoes or something? And
he had a buzz cut, but he kind of long
enough to where he had you could see that he
had some gel in there to make it stand up,
and jiged gigantic glasses, a gigantic glasses. And all I'm
going to tell you is that I could not stop
looking at this little boy. You know that he took
(13:09):
so much pride in getting ready, in his appearance and
his clothes and that whole look they had put together.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
He was ready to rise up some grass.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I was looking for some girls to rise for sure.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, he was. Tricia could not she fell in love
with that little bit.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I could not stop talking about him, And I talked
about him three or four.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Times since then.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
And we'll probably never see him again.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Oh God, I hope we seehim in another game, Trisa.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This last one is always the easiest one, the silliest
of the questions. When it comes to donuts, Are you
a frosted, glazed or jelly filled kind of girl.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Oh, not frosted. Definitely not frosted, glazed or jelly filled.
I'm kind of old school glazed. But I never have
one donut that I don't have two, and it's always
one glazed one filled.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, even like the lemon filled, don't you.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I do like the filled. I don't want a raspberry
filled win though.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
No.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
No, I like a strawberry like a lemon. I don't
want a custard filled.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You used to you went through a period of time
where you ate the meme A with dunkers, the plain
j two.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
You don't dunk though, No, I don't dunk. I don't
want all those crumbs.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
You don't dunk anything right.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
No, at an oreo and milk, and then you have
all the crumbs in the bottom of your milk glass.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I like the dunk donuts sometimes. No, I don't ever
dunk a donut.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Really, I don't. You should try it?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
No, I like, I don't want my foods touching.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Now you want donuts, right, yep?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Now I want donuts?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Can I tell you that?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
On Sunday I had a warm miniature donut with the
Lucky Charms marshmallows sprinkled on top of it.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Oh like the ones that you get that like a fair.
It was it was in like a food truck. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And I also I couldn't choice between lucky charms or
fruity pebbles.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I want lucky Charms. That's disappointed.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I don't go wrong with that.
