Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Earlier in the week.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Hey, Monday, we discovered a lot of gum under the
console here where Sisani's chair is. Yeah, now, we have
a theory that it was a certain CW actor that
came in eight years ago. Let's not go down that path.
I started going down a rabbit hole. How long does
a gum last in your belly?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Right?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Seven years? That's true, That's what I've always heard. It's
a myth. I looked this up.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
So gum is not broken down by the body it passes.
I shrimmed my legs and it's growing back thicker.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
That's a myth.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
But it's not.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
It says it's a myth when I looked it up,
But to me, it is growing back.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, I'm with you on that.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
How about this one swimming now, I remember the lifeguards
my mom, you can't swim after you've had something to
eat at the pool over summer for thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
That's a myth. Face, I looked it up. Some myth.
Well why was that said?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Like, what was the point of holding us back thirty minutes?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
These people way back in the day make this stuff
up and it carries on for generations.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Without us checking on it, and we believe it. I well,
I can.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Spend all those generations before the Internet like we just
you had was books and encyclopedia.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, you don't want to take the time, and you
know it comes in here with her wet hair all
the time, Amy Sugarman, Right, But I said to her,
you're gonna get sick.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Turns out that's a myth. Wet hair does not make
you sick.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
There's no way. That's still something that's believable in our house.
If like I bathe the kids too late at night,
Michael's like, you have to blow dry their hair before
they go to bed.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
You don't. I'm here to get you off on that.
You are done bathe them and tuck them in there.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I am like the dry bar, like, yes, get out
of their hair. No, you don't have to waste the time.
