Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's national Don't Waste My Time Day one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm strong and getty.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Doing this more or less as a public service announcement.
I don't remember when it was that Joe brought us
this information. The first time, I was unaware of it.
I never took it very seriously when I would hear
that it's National Golden Retriever Day or whatever. But Joe
brought us the information that there's a bunch of different
what websites and organizations where you can just pay them
(00:30):
to get on the list.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Right. Yeah, it's like buying a star.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And there's several different organizations that say you'll be the
official day and you give them a thousand bucks and
then they send it to I don't know, to radio
stations and TV stations or whatever. You're making a confused
face there.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
No, I'm just I'm listening closely, is what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
But you know, you've been on the radio for years,
You've mentioned this before, and usually it's just kind of
a funny conversation start. But they're completely meaningless. They don't
mean anything. I mean like nothing, right.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And there's usually like duplicates.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh absolutely, well, let me give you to day and
This is just one of the many national day calendar
organizations where you can sign up. It is National cream
Pie Day. It's also Strawberry Month, so you get those
mixed up.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Hey, do the math. Huh.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's National Student Nurse Day, you know, and somewhere colleges
across the country they're bringing in donuts or doing whatever
because it's National Student Nurse Day, National Third Shift Workers Day,
It's National have a Coke Day. Coca Cola paid for that,
National Coconut Cream Pie Day. It's National Nurse Day. Oh,

Speaker 4 (01:44):
It's both cream Pie Day and Coconut cream Pie Day.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
All right, It's a National Receptionists Day, and it goes
on and on on. So just alerting you to the
fact that this is all complete bs. And I mean
there's nothing wrong with Hey, it's National Barbecue Chicken Day,
so I brought in barbecue chicken. Doesn't make it not
worth eating or whatever. But it's all completely made up.
(02:09):
I mean, you might as well just make it up
in your mind. On the way to work. It's National
your second toes longer than your big toe Day, so
I brought in socks or something.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Now, when Congress declares it. Now that has the official
weight and importance and historical significance.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, even when Congress declares it, it means nothing. But these
are so again on this particular website. It's tomorrow, so
you can prepare ahead of time. National Home Front Heroes Day,
that's nice. National Alphabet magnet Day. What the hell? What
does magnets you put on your fridge? There's a national
day for that?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I remember what was the one that got real popular
there for a while where they gave you bunches of
different words so you could arrange them and make sentences
on your friends. That was great fun in my house.
That was popular for a while. Yeah, we had those
two when the kids were younger. That's a good time.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I had the inappropriate version.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
This was a lot of fun. That's pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (03:12):

Speaker 1 (03:18):
National Moscato Day? What's moscato? Is that a drink?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
It's a sweetish wine, not sweetish sweetish wine.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I do want to know where my socks are going, though.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
God, how dang it? Because I buy expensive socks, so
I try to be really careful with it. Yeah, and
they disappear and they're like, that's not possible. It couldn't
have left the house. There's only a few places it
could be.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
What the hell I do the laundry, And when I
put them in the wash they were a pair. And
when I took them out of the dryer, one was gone,
and I don't know what happened in between.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Adhered to the leg of a pair of pants you
haven't worn yet. Oh, it's clinging, clinging.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I have found them occasionally inside like fitted bed sheet.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Sure that happens to get down there.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, but some have just vanished.
Speaker 4 (04:05):

sock Day is tomorrow, I don't want to steal anybody's thunder.

never had. Oh what, never had.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Technically it's more an orangey or tanny than a brownie. Oh,
I guess it's a light brownie.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I admire more people who just recognize how things are
going and take advantage of it. So you got a
product or whatever. I mean, like, if we were smart,
we would have given five hundred bucks to some calendar
years ago and and National Radio Talk Show Host Day
or something and made a deal out of it.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Do you remember on your birthday I had the Kansas
I think it was the Kansas Pork producers to clear
you their man of the Year something like that because
you ate so much pork.

He couldn't be here if you do have video, I
don't want to see it. Right, Oh my god?
Speaker 4 (06:10):

Speaker 1 (07:45):
A way to turn Mother's Day into something negative. It's
it's a variety of different ways they go about it.
I didn't have kids, and I've never been happier, So
a long column about that, you know, just crap like that,
and so just.
