Buy a musical instrument day. Iknow you played the clarinet in high school.
Have you ever bought a guitar oranything? Did you ever try?

(01:34):
No, My brother played guitar,so I would kind of noodle around on
his guitar. But mine never tooklessons or learned anything. I had a
couple buddies that try to teach meguitar. I just have no aptitude for
it whatsoever. I bought a guitarnot too long ago, and I thought,
Okay, I'm gonna take lessons.You should. Yeah, I haven't.
I just I don't. I justagain, I don't have the aptitude.

(01:57):
I just don't know how it allworks. I don't know. It's
like learning like a different foreign language. I just have no concept of music.
I love music. I love listeningto music. I based my whole
career on music, and I haveno clue how people if if I didn't
see somebody like play guitar or playa piano. I would I would assume
that it was impossible to play.So you never learned in school how to

(02:21):
read music or Okay, nope,I don't know how I fake my way
through music class. Luckily I wasme me, Oh, you remember when
you used to have to look?Wait, did you play the recorder?
Okay? I cheated? How didyou cheat? This is how I did
it. You know crossbuns. Well, that's exactly what I did. Like

(02:45):
I You just did the finger motions. I didn't they. Wow, this
is I'll never forget this. Ourmusic teacher was mister de Graff, and
he said, if you're shy,you could turn the back to the class
and play. Did everybody turn theirmind? No, not a few of
us did. And I'm like,I am. I was not shy at

(03:07):
all. So I turned my backand just kept my fingers on the hole
and then fake that like a hotCrestponds and I somehow passed shake my way
through the whole thing. Wow,you're the first person I've ever heard to
fake their way through the quarterer class. It's like playing a kazoo. That's

(03:31):
exactly what it was. Ah,that's funny. And let's face it,
everybody is just playing awful playing thethe the recorder. So I was just
thrown in the people who were justthat's great. So anyway, all right,
where was I? National Craft DistilleryDay, National Maritime Day, National

(03:54):
Solitaire Day, National Vanilla Pooding Day. I like a vanilla pudding. I
like the puddings, you know,not a fan Illie did it. If
it's available, reeling, if that'sall that's there, I'll have a taste.
Really, I don't dislike it.It's just not I don't know,

(04:15):
it's see to me. That's althoughI loved snack pack as a kid.
Lid Oh absolutely, Do they stillsell those? I don't know, probably
not. I know that you youhad a story where they had pudding with
with a girls cookies in it.I'm like, oh, I'm almost a
wind of that. I gotta checkout and see if that's still available.

(04:38):
Sherlock Holmes Day, World Goth Day, World Paloma Day. And you thought
that was a form of cancer.It's a scaly lesion on your skin or
something. It's tequila and grapefruit.Never heard of it. It looks refreshing
because it's pink and but anything withtequila. I'm like, I'm out.
I can't do it all right?Day number two for the trivia question coming

(05:00):
up after this. If you don'tknow what a pug is, they advertise
it as a dog. It isnot. It is a fat, round,
hairy turkey like body, four spindlylegs that looked like it couldn't support
that fat body. Dogs have paws. Pugs have long lady fingers with fancy

(05:25):
press on nouns. Some have four, some have three, someome two like
a chicken foot, and the faceof an arthritic eighty year old man,
eyes that look like it belongs ona different animal. Altogether, it looks

(05:46):
like God was making it, ranout of pug eyes and said, let's
give it cow. I see howthat goes. It doesn't go. This
poor guy's got these two bulbous thingshanging out of his skull. The lids
can't even get up and over theball. He hasn't had his eyes shut.
And the time I've had him,he just struggles and snores twenty four

(06:10):
hours a day. Is he asleepright now? We're on a walk.
I think pugs are so cute.Friend of mine had a pug. His
name was Harley, and he wouldsee you and he bark bark, and

(06:30):
then he would choke. You'd belike like, don't die. Don't die,
Harley, don't die. Everybody Iknow who has a pug or had
a pug, they're all overweight ordo they just look fat because of their
shape like the turkey body. That'sexactly what it is. Spinley legs,
big balls, eyes, that curlytail. Don't die. Don't die.

(06:55):
A day number two for the triviaquestion. Let's see if we get a
winner. Good morning, who's thisJody? How are you good? How
are you good? This was firstmentioned in print nine thousand years ago in
Greek literature. Very popular today.In fact, it's popularity is up one
hundred and forty two percent. Whatis it? Gossip? Gossip? Oh?

(07:15):
I did had no idea. Ithought she was like, oh gosh,
I didn't know. Yeah, notgossip. Okay, thanks to beach.

It's seven o'clock. But coming uplater in the podcast The Worst Who

(08:22):
Sings It? Ever? What's themost important to me? News updates?
Natural news, news updates. Ilike the local news. All right,
what's going on? Though? I'mnot going to give a hint about the
question. But I saw this yesterday. Oh okay, out in the in

(08:43):
the in the wild, yes,okay. I was like, huh,
well again, it's it's very popular. In fact, it's the popularity is
going through the room. Yeah.So that's not really a hint, just
a statement of facts. Okay.The Internet contains a wealth of information and
it's a useful tool for everyday people, but it is making things difficult for
doctors who say they have to spenda lot of time trying to convince patients

(09:09):
to not get their medical information andadvice from the internet, especially not social
media. The majority of doctors saythey have to dissuade patients from false claims
at least once a week, andmany said it's a daily thing. You're
not the bossom made, which I'msurprised I get all my medical information from
the Internet. I'm surprised every doctordoesn't say it's daily. The most common

(09:33):
misinformation they need to contradict involves mattersof vaccination, allergies, vitamins, and
contraception. Oh that's scary, Iuse a milk carton. One doctor who
says she sees patients every day whocome to her with wrong information, says,

(09:54):
hey, it takes a lot oftime to redirect people. Some people
can never be convinced. People don'talways accept what doctors say, and then
those conversations can be very annoying.She says. Many patients have already diagnosed
themselves and are just coming to herso they can get a prescription for what
they've diagnosed. Themselves with oh okay, yeah, yeah, I need a

(10:15):
pill for this. Yeah okay,yeah, I do that all the time.
Look on no, I mean lookonline like I have the what does
this symptom mean? Oh yeah?And then if you go on web md,
it's like, you know, Ieither have like tetanus or I have
cancer? Right, yeah, andevery almost everything is fatigue is a symptom.

(10:35):
I'm like, I've been fatigued fortwenty three years, get up at
three fifteen. Maybe that's I'm nota doctor, but I think maybe that
might be the cause source of thefatigue. A southern California grocer is selling
a luxury pineapple for a ridiculous price. The Ruby Glow pineapple sells for just
under take a guess, I knowI saw that, you know, okay,

(10:58):
yeah, just under four hundred dollars. But you'd see have you seen
it? It looks delicious. Itdoesn't look four hundred dollars delicious now,
nothing like you know, But it'sonly a few thousand of the pinkish red
designer pineapples are produced every year byFresh del Monte. The Ruby Glow as
a result of fifteen years of researchand experimentation and a cross between a traditional

(11:20):
pineapple and the Marada variety. Andit's small, it's not very large at
all. It's not like a giganticpineapple that it's about the size of a
grapefruit, and it's got that grapefruitlook to it. It's pink. See
how exotic fruits fascinate me. Iwouldn't be fascinating for five bucks, not
for or ai, I'll grant youthat, But I would pay one hundred

(11:41):
hundred really yeah to try it.Ah, I'm even tempted at four hundred
dollars to kind of try it.Oh my goodness to say, yeah,
that's what you can do with fourhundred dollars other than eat a pineapple.
You know, when I go tolike, you know, I go to
the Caribbean, I always search outexotic fruits. But you're not paying four

(12:05):
hundred dollars for it. That's thething. It's not. Oh, it's
as great like cool, let's trythis new, exciting, tasty fruit for
four hundred dollars. But four hundreddollars is you know, you know,
you would pay four hundred dollars foryou know, a designer purse, right,
I wouldn't, oh, okay,all right. I would never pay
four hundred dollars for a purse.Okay, I have an expensive purse only

(12:30):
because I want it at a pursebingo. Oh okay, that's it.
I pay twenty five dollars for thisperse. What is it about? You
know? Women when they have likesomething that really expensive and it looks like
it's expensive, and you could getthe cachet for having something expensive, and
you go, I just got itfor a dollar, you know, and
a piece of gum. You're allproud to get a good bargain because I

(12:54):
love a bargain, and guys,I do love a bargain. And guys,
you know, we overpay for everythingbecause and you never use cupons.
I bet dude, no never,That's what I'm he used to be one
of my things, you know,if you go to a restaurant, especially
if you're in a date, like, uh, here's a here's twenty five
percent off, I have a Bogodeal Bogo Yeah right, No, guys

(13:18):
wouldn't do that. Oh, Ilove a bargain. According to a new
study, men are more likely tobe friends if they don't share the same
taste in women. Oh okay,yeah, yeah, Researchers found guys were
more likely to have a higher friendshipattraction with other guys not attracted to the
same type of What is that becauseof the competition or maybe, but but

(13:41):
it's also a wake of making funof him, the other guy, and
they make fun of you, Andthat's how we bond by making fun of
each other. That's that's the God'strue you think of lying. We had
a discussion. We had this discussiontoday. I like, do you have
an inner monologue? And she's like, yeah, of course, And I

(14:01):
said, who doesn't. Yeah?And the fact is you even looked it
up. Yeah, some people don't. Like thirty to fifty percent of people
do not have an inner monologue.And because we could sit in this in
the studio for hours and not sayanything, because we are actually talking to
ourselves right, working and thinking likewhat's what am I going to do next?

(14:22):
And the honest, the god truth, most people don't. Most people
don't. They just say what's intheir head? It's or they different,
what do you do with all that? Well, I don't. I don't
know because I haven't I have aninner monologue. I got to start asking
around if people don't have that,and you'll be surprised with the answer,

(14:45):
like they look at you like,no, do you And you're like,
because if you have an inner monologue, you couldn't imagine somebody else not having
it. It's probably the same anotherway around. I'm assuming most women do
and most men don't because we dohave the capability of shutting everything down.
Huh. I know, I knowthat's it's very difficult for me to shut

(15:09):
things down, but there's times Ineed to shut it down, and like
it. My brain's constantly churning.And that's why I have a fan and
an iPod when I when I goto sleep, because I had that inner
monologue or else I'll be thinking allnight about, you know, stuff I
need to do for the show orsomething like that. Yeah, this is

(15:30):
a fascinating subject. We should doa full podcast on it. We should,
we should? Or who doesn't havean inner monologue? And are you
a psycho? Look it up?Look it up on the Google machine.
You'll find out, you know,thirty percent to fifty percent of people do
not have an inner monologue. Iseriously don't know what those people do with
their brain all the time, Likethey may not have one, is it

(15:52):
just like a blank stare. Idon't know you're asking the wrong person,
because I would love not to haveLike I am constantly having conversations with myself
in my head. The only timeI'm not is if I'm watching a movie
or TV or something. Yes,and it's occupying my brain. That's why
I have an iPod when I sleep, because it shuts that down. It

(16:12):
shuts that part of my brain thatis talking to me like shut up,
shut up, shut up. Butwhen I listen to a podcast like a
true crime podcast, my mind willstart wandering mind too, and then I
think, and I go down thistrail of thoughts one hundred percent especially,
But I think that is because ofwhat we do for a living. We

(16:34):
are very critical of other communicators.Could be because if they're not communicating the
way we speak. Because we talkedabout how disc jockeys have the ability to
condense our thoughts, like if youwrite a sixty second commercial, yeah,

(16:55):
we don't have to be able tofit everything in there, and we have
a tendency to be able to tokind of we have a better gauge of
time than most people because everything wedo is you know, we have to
time everything within minutes seconds sometimes yeah, And so a lot of times we'll
say, you know what time isit now? I'll say, man,
it's about three thirteen, and thelook at the phone and they'll go,

(17:17):
oh, it's three fourteen. Howdo you do that? I'm like,
I don't know. It's just somethingafter so many years of broadcasting, we're
so we're so aware of time.The other thing, too, is if
you talk to people not in radioor something where time is important, you're
like, ah, you can doso much in sixty seconds. Do you
know how much you can do insixty seconds? Yeah, Like that's a
minute. That's nothing we could do. We could do so much because we

(17:41):
have like how many times do wehave a minute left in the song and
I have to edit something, andthen you're getting ready for your newscast or
something, and it's just like bankbank bank bank bank, Yeah, and
then you look up and we havethirty seconds left in the song because we
were able to time out everything thatwe need to do in such a precise
way. See when my when I'mlistening to it like a true crime podcast,

(18:02):
in my inner monologue starts to gooff, it's usually how would they
identify my body. If they foundit in the woods with no identification,
how did they know where to gofrom dental records? Okay, here's here's
a here's a conversation. We kindof talked about this a couple of weeks
ago. Women, Would you bemore afraid of engaging in with a man

(18:27):
or a bear if you're out inthe woods, And we talked about that
a little bit. Yeah, that'sa tough one, but I can understand
because you could scare a bear away. It's unlikely. Yeah, I mean,
I don't think either one of themis going to be a you know,
you know, but when you seea man, especially in the middle

(18:48):
of the woods, it's horrifying.Yeah. Now what would be the male
version of that? Hmm, Idon't know. You put me on the
spot. There, here's here's here'swould would would be mine? Okay,
if you asked a man, wouldyou rather express your feelings to a woman

(19:15):
or a tree? Oh? Atree, A guy, it would be
a tree. We wouldn't we wouldn'twant to be that vulnerable to express our
feelings to a female, and soa tree the time. That's an easy
one. I was trying to thinkof a hard one, well for a
guy, but even for you,like a female, do you express my

(19:36):
feelings? Oh yeah, I wouldbe okay doing that, and men would
no, no, no, menare animals. We're not animals. We're
afraid of your judgment because if weexpressed our feelings of how we really felt,
you're you're risking a certain rejection,rejection but also judgment. And women

(19:57):
have a tendency to you know,if you if you showed vulnerability to put
that in their pocket and then theyuse it later, You use it later
like you're like, oh and there'sa weapon. Huh. All right,
all right, wow, that waskind of that was past today. All
