I can avoid it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Though, Oh why is that?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
But yes I have Oh, because well, I have a
bunch of family in Saint Louis, and I'm from Saint
Louis and all that.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It's a great town.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
But I just don't It's not for me, not for
you need to know, mister Elliott.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Here's what I need to know.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Like when you say you have family, do you have
grandparents maybe? Or parents or grandparents in Saint Louis.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I have parents, yeah, parents and seven siblings.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Oh okay, Now let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Do your parents house or whether it's current or former house,
have a basement? Yes?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Did they keep anything that most of us would consider
odd in the basement.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Besides their children?
Speaker 6 (01:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I don't really think so.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay, because if they and again this would be considered
odd to most people. Apparently, in Saint Louis, it is
very very thank you, sir. It is very very common,
very common, it is it? I think it is now.
The only reason I asked is like, I don't know that. Well,
(01:32):
maybe maybe it was more common than it is now.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
Okay, are you going to eventually? Diane and I are
also in the dark, Hi Elliott.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
In the morning. Yes, sir, Hey, I'm originally from.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You have family back there, yes, sir, like parents, grandparents.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Uh, my mom is actually in Virginia right now. I
have no grandparents.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
They have recently passed, but they were three in St.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
Louis.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
When you're when your grandparents I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But when your grandparents were with us, did they live
in Saint Louis?
Speaker 7 (02:16):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Did they have a basement in their house as far
as I know, yes?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Did they keep anything in the basement that most of
us would consider weird or odd?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
My grandma actually kept would always keep at least three
month old food in a walk in.
Speaker 8 (02:35):
Three month old damn it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, I got excited. I got excited. I thought you
had it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Did your grandparents did your grandparents ever keep a turtle
in the basement?
Speaker 9 (02:47):
Oh no, like a pet.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I mean, I don't want to I want to say yes,
because it wasn't like.
Speaker 10 (02:56):
Like in an aquarium or free roaming, free roaming in
the base.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I'm actually the guy that talked to you at the
Rivers City Role event.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay, yeah about the.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Blues and you talked about the Blues backup goalie.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that now, I remember that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah I was.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I was a tall guy with a lucky shirt on.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I gotcha, I gotcha.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But as far as you know, grandparents never had a
free roaming turtle in their basement.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
No, absolutely not, gotcha?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
All right, very good.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So now this goes back and again this has nothing
to do with the Saint Louis Blues. Why do people
in Saint Louis? And they said, this is pretty common,
people who have a basement have a free roaming turtle
in their basement.
Speaker 9 (03:47):
That's so weird.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
I've never even heard of this, so I certainly don't
know why.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And is it just a Saint Louis thing?
Speaker 10 (03:55):
Yes, yeah, let me text Andy Cohen.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No, no, but I I've never heard of it.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I have never heard of it until I was told
about it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
You're my stomach?
Speaker 9 (04:08):
Is that you?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Digesting of Boston cream?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
The whoa?
Speaker 8 (04:12):
What was the order you've eaten the food? I hope
it was proper.
Speaker 9 (04:19):
Wait, bacon, then cream?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
No, no bacon, Yes, I had bacon, then I had
a then I had a wrap, and then that I
wanted to finish with carbs. So apparently, and I don't
know if it's as common as it is now or
as common now as it was, but apparently like people's
parents and grandparents would keep a turtle in the basement.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
For good luck.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't know if it was for good luck. I
don't know if it was for There was something that
I read that made it sound like in some cases
it was if there was any bugs or spiders or
anything that would get in there. I don't know what
turtles eat, but that they would be able to take
care of things like that. But they said it wouldn't
be uncommon to go to somebody's house and go down
in their basement and there's a turtle in there. And
(05:08):
I never heard of that anywhere else. No, I've never
heard of that in my entire life.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
Are these finished basements.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You know what, that's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (05:18):
Or is it just like the old concrete floor with
like the drain in the middle, or.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I was even thinking like mud like don't didn't some
like old Okay, I mean not.
Speaker 10 (05:26):
Yeah, no, no, no, like a hundred years ago.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
No no, no, by the way, you're wrong, you're wrong.
Speaker 9 (05:31):
A lot of a mud floored basement.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, where it's just there's no there's no flooring.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
That's not that uncommon natally, not that uncommon.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
From way back when.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, wait, which part now the mud floor? Yeah, a
lot of people have that.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
A lot of people, A lot of people, a lot
of Yes, now I need mud floor basements.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
No, no, not everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
By the way, you realize, not everybody has a finished basement.
Speaker 8 (05:57):
I know that.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I was the one that asked if these basements were finished.
You're the one throwing in no floor whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
No, but there are so you you could have finished basement.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You could have what did they call that where it's
got like walls and cement.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
What is that called unfinished?
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
No, yes, no, unfinished basement means that it's that it
goes down and once you get down the wooden steps.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You're on dirt.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
That's an unfinished No.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
No, what is that called?
Speaker 10 (06:25):
If I was looking at home, unfinished doesn't have dry
wall in it?
Speaker 7 (06:28):
To me?
Speaker 11 (06:29):
Unfinished Yeah, they just got the brick or the floor. No, yes, yes, yes,
I've never seen an unfinished People are crazy.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
I was buying a house and it's an unfinished basement
and I got there and it was one of the
dirt floors.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You would be like, that is an unfinished house.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Yes, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, you would still have the cinder block from the foundation.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
I would expect an unfinished basement to at least have
like Diane said, bed, there's.
Speaker 10 (07:00):
A hot water heater around there. Yeah, there's a bunch
of two by fours.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, no, there may be. There's there's probably a slab
where the hot water.
Speaker 10 (07:07):
And there is a.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
No no, yeah, I mean it's some maybe like where
it's not like there's a room here and like a
place for a TV here and like a closet.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
We're not arguing that it didn't exist like one.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Hundred years to stop it. It still exists today. It
still exists today.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Yes, I bet If that is the case, it's in
violation of building code.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
No way, No, way.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh. So now if I have some a dirt floor,
it's in violation of a building code.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Not a dirty floor, No, that I have. But when's
the last mud floor you saw? Christy? We're not asking you.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
The the last month. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
But I don't go into people's basement.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
It's I'm telling you that was phased out.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Like I can tell you this, Like I know Nelly
who lives down the street from me. He's got a basement.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I've never been in it.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Now maybe the grandparents who had turtles had these dirt floors, yeah,
but not today.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
So now we have a lot of questions.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, I don't know which one I'm more bothered by.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Where am I going?
Speaker 8 (08:19):
Line one?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Hi Elliet in the morning.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Hello, Yeah, Hi, who's as Hi? This is Lisa, Yes, Lisa,
what can I do for you? So?
Speaker 12 (08:28):
I grew up in Saint Louis and we lived in
a house that was built I don't know. It's since
been torn down, but back then it was one hundred
years old, and it had a dirt floor basement and
a cellar, and we had a turtle.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Thank you, check check check. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
By the way, congrats on having that unfinished basement, said
years ago.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
It was it would get muddy if it would rain
too much. It was dirt.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Oh dude, that's as turtle like that.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Wait, so what is the and was what was the turtle? Four?
Speaker 12 (09:01):
I guess at eight, things like like book like it
would keep it keep the stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Away, right, And so did you guys?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Would you feed it? Like would somebody throw a head
lettuce down there? Every so often?
Speaker 12 (09:16):
I'm not I don't remember doing that, but maybe, right,
I think they. I think in the winter they like hibernate.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Or something, turtles hibernate.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I didn't know that, I think, and I just know
that we didn't have anything on the floor, but we
had shelves for like canning stuff and if our washer
and dryer was down there. But I think our water
heater was like in the kitchen or something.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Right, But you had a house. Most importantly, you had
a turtle in the basement.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yes, fascinating to me. Fascinating to me. All right, very good,
very good, Thank you, Saint Louis, Thank you.

of like what is the.
Speaker 9 (10:26):

in the sixties.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Seventies, eighties.
Speaker 13 (12:06):
My parents lived there into the nineties, and all of
my friends, all of my family who still lives there,
and none of us had a turtle in the base.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:14):

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Excited, everybody, I got so excited.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I am.
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Health perfectly.
Speaker 13 (12:23):
We had pet turtles. We would find pet turtles out
in our yard. Because yes, like Tyler was saying, there
were prevalent all over the place, so we would bring
them in and keep them in boxes. But we never
had three Roman turtles.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yes, these are turtles.
Speaker 13 (12:40):
My unfinished basement had a concrete floor. It just didn't
have walls or carpeting or anything fancy. It had the furnace,
it had the washing machine, and it had one little
corner room that my dad put up some cheap walls
to make a potting shed for my mother.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Oh well, can't hide money that, yeah, because.
Speaker 13 (13:05):
My dad built it with two by fours.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Gotcha? Gotcha there? All right? Very good, very good?
Speaker 13 (13:12):
Anybody with turtles.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Everybody had turtles, man, everybody had turtles.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Everybody in Saint Louis HadAM.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
Did you say where you first learned of this?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I read it somewhere.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Oh okay, I thought maybe it was.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
No, I don't you know what.
Speaker 10 (13:23):
I wonder if Bigsie's parents had her grandparents maybe I
don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
It's something he had mentioned.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
To No, not at all, But now that I think
about it, Bigsie now he likes turtles. Well, no, he
he loves Saint Louis. He loves Budweiser. The uh no, no,
but he's got he's got a basement. I don't think
I've ever been in. He may have a turtle down
there now.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
And mudfloors.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
From w Ross in New York.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
It's teenage mutant turtles and usually a rat.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
That's funny. Where am I going?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Line?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Elliot the morning? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Who's this?
Speaker 10 (14:07):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
It is David Maryland.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah? You were talking about unfinished basement. About ten years
ago I was at a house in Arlington had an
unfinished dirt floor and a well in the basement, open well.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
When was it built?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Thank you? Thank you?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
When is this house?
Speaker 10 (14:25):
Say thank you?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Hundred years ago?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Where is this house built?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I don't know when the house is built. Maybe in
the forty thirty maybe, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Okay ago, yeah, no, okay. But you don't think people
renovate houses, thank you.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
They get rid of the dirt floor.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
We didn't say they didn't exist, it's just they're not
not finishing them with at least a concrete stone floor.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Now, I think that's wrong.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
You think there's new developments. We're people.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't think Brothers is putting in a house with
a dirt floor. No, but I bet like if you
go back.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Oh, this is our impure model.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
Well it comes with the wine refrigerator and a dirt floor.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
What did they even call that? Like we keep saying
mud or dirt, Like, was there a name?
Speaker 9 (15:22):
I think it's dirt floor.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I think it's called the basement. We have a basement
and you had no floor.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
You're a few minutes away from claiming it's basically finished.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Line one, Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 13 (15:44):
Are you con choosing it with a crawl space or
no cellar?
Speaker 8 (15:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
No, A crawl space is exactly that, Like there's there's.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
You have a lot of times those that those could
have like gravel down when.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Those are outside like that is like like you entrance
them from the outside, but it's got like lattice and
you could see like like grass and stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
No, I know what a crawl space is.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Cellar is a basement that you get into from the outside.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I know it. Oh, I'm sorry, the one with the
dirt floor. It's finished to you. You're dumb.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
Well, now you've gone and offended him.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
No I did, Oh you showed him.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Well, some people remember these floors fondly Elliott as being
part of their past. Modern construction has moved away from
them due to issues with mold, cold, damp, aar and pests.
Speaker 10 (16:51):
Oh well, yeah, I want God knows what burrowing up
from the depths.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I have enough mice. No, but that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
That's why I have a turtle, right, right, So did
turtles leave the basement once we started putting down flooring.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
I don't think they ever left Saint Louis. No.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
No, I'm telling you because I did search and a
lot of articles are written by people who were able
to get out of Missouri right and couldn't believe this
wasn't something in everyone's home.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So they they grew up under the impression that everybody
has turtle. Yes, So they got to Virginia or Maryland
and they were like, well, we set up shopping. We're
in Ellicott City. It's beautiful, weirdness thing though none of
our neighbors.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Keep a turtle in there?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Sounds about right? Hi Elliot in the morning, Oh, don't
invite him over action?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yes, who is this?
Speaker 8 (17:55):
I hope you had nothing else? Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
That's all I got for you?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Good, very good, perfect line?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Or Hi Elliot the morning?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Hi still Billy Jesus christ, I.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
Got a turtle right now, No here, it is two things.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Number one, he'll billy his living room dirt floor. Number two,
he's turtling. Yes, he'll billy. What can I do for you, sir?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Actually, when I uh in apple Lats, when I lived
up in Boonsburg, Maryland, the cellar was a dirt floor.
I think that's for y'all getting it wrong. Going under
the house, I end up digging up a uh like
an old baby, like toddlers, I'll fit. And the house
(18:52):
was building like eighteen thirteen or something.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh really, that's weird that that's that's creepy. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I used to have to get my water delivered to
the house. I am not kidding, I sir, no turtle.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
No turtle here and there?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
All right, very good, very good, Thank you, hill billy,

Yesterday was my mom.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
And I'm sorry, Yes, Mauren, Yes, Maury.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
So I'm sixty and my grandparents had a house with
a dirt floor in the basement.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
See, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Oh yes, the stairs led down to the basement. We
called this cellar with a dirt floor, and they had
a washing machine with the rollers, so the clothes would
swish around in the basin and then you'd stick them
through these rollers to squeeze out the water.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I would never, never, never, no.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Like we went from those, we went from the creek
to like a plug in like, no, I'm not.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
Do you have a washing it with a stick?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
This was probably built in the early twenties.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Like twenty five, twenty oh six.
Speaker 13 (21:12):
Like nineteen twenty oh got it.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Hey they got a turtle down in there.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
No, no, no, This was an upstate New York.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So oh, very good, very good, Saint Louis, I gotcha. Oh,
even even from upstate New York, the attitude kicks in,
all right, very.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Good, thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
By the way, I love the idea of having a
turtle down there.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Because of all the benefits and not too many negatives.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Right yeah, I mean, what's the what's the downside? Nothing?
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Taking care of a problem and not creating any Well, I.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Actually the guys who laid the cement took care of
the problem.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
I'm trying not to smile off.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I got my teeth dealt by a chainsaw.
Hi, who's this s Hey, this is Connor. Hey, Connor,
where are you calling me from?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Sir? I'll call you from Lee Air Parking as water excellent.
And now let me uh, let me ask you you
you're from Saint Louis, you grew up in Saint Louis,
You got family in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh, yeah, all the above.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
I will never go back to Saint Louis again if
I can avoid it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Though, Oh why is that?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
But yes I have Oh, because well, I have a
bunch of family in Saint Louis, and I'm from Saint
Louis and all that.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It's a great town.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
But I just don't It's not for me, not for
you need to know, mister Elliott.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Here's what I need to know.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Like when you say you have family, do you have
grandparents maybe? Or parents or grandparents in Saint Louis.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I have parents, yeah, parents and seven siblings.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Oh okay, Now let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Do your parents house or whether it's current or former house,
have a basement? Yes?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Did they keep anything that most of us would consider
odd in the basement.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Besides their children?
Speaker 6 (01:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I don't really think so.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay, because if they and again this would be considered
odd to most people. Apparently, in Saint Louis, it is
very very thank you, sir. It is very very common,
very common, it is it? I think it is now.
The only reason I asked is like, I don't know that. Well,
(01:32):
maybe maybe it was more common than it is now.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
Okay, are you going to eventually? Diane and I are
also in the dark, Hi Elliott.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
In the morning. Yes, sir, Hey, I'm originally from.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You have family back there, yes, sir, like parents, grandparents.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Uh, my mom is actually in Virginia right now. I
have no grandparents.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
They have recently passed, but they were three in St.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
Louis.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
When you're when your grandparents I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But when your grandparents were with us, did they live
in Saint Louis?
Speaker 7 (02:16):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Did they have a basement in their house as far
as I know, yes?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Did they keep anything in the basement that most of
us would consider weird or odd?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
My grandma actually kept would always keep at least three
month old food in a walk in.
Speaker 8 (02:35):
Three month old damn it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, I got excited. I got excited. I thought you
had it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Did your grandparents did your grandparents ever keep a turtle
in the basement?
Speaker 9 (02:47):
Oh no, like a pet.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I mean, I don't want to I want to say yes,
because it wasn't like.
Speaker 10 (02:56):
Like in an aquarium or free roaming, free roaming in
the base.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I'm actually the guy that talked to you at the
Rivers City Role event.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay, yeah about the.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Blues and you talked about the Blues backup goalie.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that now, I remember that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah I was.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I was a tall guy with a lucky shirt on.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I gotcha, I gotcha.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But as far as you know, grandparents never had a
free roaming turtle in their basement.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
No, absolutely not, gotcha?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
All right, very good.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So now this goes back and again this has nothing
to do with the Saint Louis Blues. Why do people
in Saint Louis? And they said, this is pretty common,
people who have a basement have a free roaming turtle
in their basement.
Speaker 9 (03:47):
That's so weird.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
I've never even heard of this, so I certainly don't
know why.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And is it just a Saint Louis thing?
Speaker 10 (03:55):
Yes, yeah, let me text Andy Cohen.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No, no, but I I've never heard of it.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I have never heard of it until I was told
about it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
You're my stomach?
Speaker 9 (04:08):
Is that you?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Digesting of Boston cream?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
The whoa?
Speaker 8 (04:12):
What was the order you've eaten the food? I hope
it was proper.
Speaker 9 (04:19):
Wait, bacon, then cream?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
No, no bacon, Yes, I had bacon, then I had
a then I had a wrap, and then that I
wanted to finish with carbs. So apparently, and I don't
know if it's as common as it is now or
as common now as it was, but apparently like people's
parents and grandparents would keep a turtle in the basement.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
For good luck.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't know if it was for good luck. I
don't know if it was for There was something that
I read that made it sound like in some cases
it was if there was any bugs or spiders or
anything that would get in there. I don't know what
turtles eat, but that they would be able to take
care of things like that. But they said it wouldn't
be uncommon to go to somebody's house and go down
in their basement and there's a turtle in there. And
(05:08):
I never heard of that anywhere else. No, I've never
heard of that in my entire life.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
Are these finished basements.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You know what, that's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (05:18):
Or is it just like the old concrete floor with
like the drain in the middle, or.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I was even thinking like mud like don't didn't some
like old Okay, I mean not.
Speaker 10 (05:26):
Yeah, no, no, no, like a hundred years ago.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
No no, no, by the way, you're wrong, you're wrong.
Speaker 9 (05:31):
A lot of a mud floored basement.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, where it's just there's no there's no flooring.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
That's not that uncommon natally, not that uncommon.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
From way back when.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, wait, which part now the mud floor? Yeah, a
lot of people have that.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
A lot of people, A lot of people, a lot
of Yes, now I need mud floor basements.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
No, no, not everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
By the way, you realize, not everybody has a finished basement.
Speaker 8 (05:57):
I know that.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I was the one that asked if these basements were finished.
You're the one throwing in no floor whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
No, but there are so you you could have finished basement.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You could have what did they call that where it's
got like walls and cement.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
What is that called unfinished?
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
No, yes, no, unfinished basement means that it's that it
goes down and once you get down the wooden steps.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You're on dirt.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
That's an unfinished No.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
No, what is that called?
Speaker 10 (06:25):
If I was looking at home, unfinished doesn't have dry
wall in it?
Speaker 7 (06:28):
To me?
Speaker 11 (06:29):
Unfinished Yeah, they just got the brick or the floor. No, yes, yes, yes,
I've never seen an unfinished People are crazy.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
I was buying a house and it's an unfinished basement
and I got there and it was one of the
dirt floors.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You would be like, that is an unfinished house.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Yes, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, you would still have the cinder block from the foundation.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
I would expect an unfinished basement to at least have
like Diane said, bed, there's.
Speaker 10 (07:00):
A hot water heater around there. Yeah, there's a bunch
of two by fours.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, no, there may be. There's there's probably a slab
where the hot water.
Speaker 10 (07:07):
And there is a.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
No no, yeah, I mean it's some maybe like where
it's not like there's a room here and like a
place for a TV here and like a closet.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
We're not arguing that it didn't exist like one.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Hundred years to stop it. It still exists today. It
still exists today.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Yes, I bet If that is the case, it's in
violation of building code.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
No way, No, way.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh. So now if I have some a dirt floor,
it's in violation of a building code.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Not a dirty floor, No, that I have. But when's
the last mud floor you saw? Christy? We're not asking you.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
The the last month. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
But I don't go into people's basement.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
It's I'm telling you that was phased out.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Like I can tell you this, Like I know Nelly
who lives down the street from me. He's got a basement.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I've never been in it.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Now maybe the grandparents who had turtles had these dirt floors, yeah,
but not today.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
So now we have a lot of questions.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, I don't know which one I'm more bothered by.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Where am I going?
Speaker 8 (08:19):
Line one?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Hi Elliet in the morning.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Hello, Yeah, Hi, who's as Hi? This is Lisa, Yes, Lisa,
what can I do for you? So?
Speaker 12 (08:28):
I grew up in Saint Louis and we lived in
a house that was built I don't know. It's since
been torn down, but back then it was one hundred
years old, and it had a dirt floor basement and
a cellar, and we had a turtle.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Thank you, check check check. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
By the way, congrats on having that unfinished basement, said
years ago.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
It was it would get muddy if it would rain
too much. It was dirt.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Oh dude, that's as turtle like that.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Wait, so what is the and was what was the turtle? Four?
Speaker 12 (09:01):
I guess at eight, things like like book like it
would keep it keep the stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Away, right, And so did you guys?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Would you feed it? Like would somebody throw a head
lettuce down there? Every so often?
Speaker 12 (09:16):
I'm not I don't remember doing that, but maybe, right,
I think they. I think in the winter they like hibernate.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Or something, turtles hibernate.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I didn't know that, I think, and I just know
that we didn't have anything on the floor, but we
had shelves for like canning stuff and if our washer
and dryer was down there. But I think our water
heater was like in the kitchen or something.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Right, But you had a house. Most importantly, you had
a turtle in the basement.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yes, fascinating to me. Fascinating to me. All right, very good,
very good, Thank you, Saint Louis, Thank you.
Speaker 8 (09:48):

hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I don't know like this, Yeah, within the dirt flo

basement clean and turtle. No no, but you make it
sound like one of the itty bitty little things.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Oh, it was. It's a turtle that roams the basement floor.
You know what I imagine it to be the size
of like what is the.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
Yeah, zoomba, a rumba, the vacuum.

kid well.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
St.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Louis is home to various native turtles, So we don't know.
Is it the three toad box? Is it a red
eared slider?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Wait?
Speaker 7 (11:23):
So is that why Eastern spiny soft shell? So was
midland smooth was? Was was Saint Louis?
Speaker 2 (11:33):

Anywhere else where? Am I going? Line six?
Speaker 2 (11:44):

I'm just saying, yes, ma'am. Who is this?
Speaker 13 (11:57):

Speaker 12 (11:58):

Speaker 13 (12:00):
I'm good, I'm good. I grew up in Saint Louis
in the sixties.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Seventies, eighties.
Speaker 13 (12:06):
My parents lived there into the nineties, and all of
my friends, all of my family who still lives there,
and none of us had a turtle in the base.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I got so.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Excited, everybody, I got so excited.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I am.
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Health perfectly.
Speaker 13 (12:23):
We had pet turtles. We would find pet turtles out
in our yard. Because yes, like Tyler was saying, there
were prevalent all over the place, so we would bring
them in and keep them in boxes. But we never
had three Roman turtles.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yes, these are turtles.
Speaker 13 (12:40):
My unfinished basement had a concrete floor. It just didn't
have walls or carpeting or anything fancy. It had the furnace,
it had the washing machine, and it had one little
corner room that my dad put up some cheap walls
to make a potting shed for my mother.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Oh well, can't hide money that, yeah, because.
Speaker 13 (13:05):
My dad built it with two by fours.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Gotcha? Gotcha there? All right? Very good, very good?
Speaker 13 (13:12):
Anybody with turtles.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Everybody had turtles, man, everybody had turtles.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Everybody in Saint Louis HadAM.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
Did you say where you first learned of this?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I read it somewhere.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Oh okay, I thought maybe it was.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
No, I don't you know what.
Speaker 10 (13:23):
I wonder if Bigsie's parents had her grandparents maybe I
don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
It's something he had mentioned.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
To No, not at all, But now that I think
about it, Bigsie now he likes turtles. Well, no, he
he loves Saint Louis. He loves Budweiser. The uh no, no,
but he's got he's got a basement. I don't think
I've ever been in. He may have a turtle down
there now.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
And mudfloors.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
From w Ross in New York.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
It's teenage mutant turtles and usually a rat.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
That's funny. Where am I going?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Line?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Elliot the morning? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Who's this?
Speaker 10 (14:07):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
It is David Maryland.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah? You were talking about unfinished basement. About ten years
ago I was at a house in Arlington had an
unfinished dirt floor and a well in the basement, open well.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
When was it built?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Thank you? Thank you?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
When is this house?
Speaker 10 (14:25):
Say thank you?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Hundred years ago?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Where is this house built?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I don't know when the house is built. Maybe in
the forty thirty maybe, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Okay ago, yeah, no, okay. But you don't think people
renovate houses, thank you.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
They get rid of the dirt floor.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
We didn't say they didn't exist, it's just they're not
not finishing them with at least a concrete stone floor.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Now, I think that's wrong.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
You think there's new developments. We're people.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't think Brothers is putting in a house with
a dirt floor. No, but I bet like if you
go back.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Oh, this is our impure model.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
Well it comes with the wine refrigerator and a dirt floor.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
What did they even call that? Like we keep saying
mud or dirt, Like, was there a name?
Speaker 9 (15:22):
I think it's dirt floor.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I think it's called the basement. We have a basement
and you had no floor.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
You're a few minutes away from claiming it's basically finished.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Line one, Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 13 (15:44):
Are you con choosing it with a crawl space or
no cellar?
Speaker 8 (15:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
No, A crawl space is exactly that, Like there's there's.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
You have a lot of times those that those could
have like gravel down when.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Those are outside like that is like like you entrance
them from the outside, but it's got like lattice and
you could see like like grass and stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
No, I know what a crawl space is.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Cellar is a basement that you get into from the outside.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I know it. Oh, I'm sorry, the one with the
dirt floor. It's finished to you. You're dumb.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
Well, now you've gone and offended him.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
No I did, Oh you showed him.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Well, some people remember these floors fondly Elliott as being
part of their past. Modern construction has moved away from
them due to issues with mold, cold, damp, aar and pests.
Speaker 10 (16:51):
Oh well, yeah, I want God knows what burrowing up
from the depths.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I have enough mice. No, but that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
That's why I have a turtle, right, right, So did
turtles leave the basement once we started putting down flooring.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
I don't think they ever left Saint Louis. No.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
No, I'm telling you because I did search and a
lot of articles are written by people who were able
to get out of Missouri right and couldn't believe this
wasn't something in everyone's home.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So they they grew up under the impression that everybody
has turtle. Yes, So they got to Virginia or Maryland
and they were like, well, we set up shopping. We're
in Ellicott City. It's beautiful, weirdness thing though none of
our neighbors.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Keep a turtle in there?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Sounds about right? Hi Elliot in the morning, Oh, don't
invite him over action?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yes, who is this?
Speaker 8 (17:55):
I hope you had nothing else? Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
That's all I got for you?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Good, very good, perfect line?

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Actually, when I uh in apple Lats, when I lived
up in Boonsburg, Maryland, the cellar was a dirt floor.
I think that's for y'all getting it wrong. Going under
the house, I end up digging up a uh like
an old baby, like toddlers, I'll fit. And the house
(18:52):
was building like eighteen thirteen or something.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh really, that's weird that that's that's creepy. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I used to have to get my water delivered to
the house. I am not kidding, I sir, no turtle.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
He's trying to get me off, So I gotta find.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
His head with my foot.
Speaker 1 (19:26):

can get reached.

So I'm sixty and my grandparents had a house with
a dirt floor in the basement.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
See, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Oh yes, the stairs led down to the basement. We
called this cellar with a dirt floor, and they had
a washing machine with the rollers, so the clothes would
swish around in the basin and then you'd stick them
through these rollers to squeeze out the water.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I would never, never, never, no.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Like we went from those, we went from the creek
to like a plug in like, no, I'm not.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
Do you have a washing it with a stick?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
This was probably built in the early twenties.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Like twenty five, twenty oh six.
Speaker 13 (21:12):
Like nineteen twenty oh got it.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Hey they got a turtle down in there.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
No, no, no, This was an upstate New York.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So oh, very good, very good, Saint Louis, I gotcha. Oh,
even even from upstate New York, the attitude kicks in,
all right, very.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Good, thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
By the way, I love the idea of having a
turtle down there.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Because of all the benefits and not too many negatives.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Right yeah, I mean, what's the what's the downside? Nothing?
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Taking care of a problem and not creating any Well, I.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Actually the guys who laid the cement took care of
the problem.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
