The John and Heidie Show. This is the John and
Heidie Show podcast. The John and Heidie Show is a
syndicated radio show that's based out of Sioux Falls, South
Dakota that can be heard on over three hundred radio
stations around the country and around the world. And you
are listening to the podcast version right now. Here's John
and Heidi.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's it's Thursday. My beautiful bride is at my side. Hello, Heidi,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello? I'm good. How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm good? I'm I kind of feel as though this
Dear John letter could be us. There's a couple that's
they're having a little bit of a fight right now
because the gentleman went to the store and when he
was there, he ended up using the self checkout, which
he doesn't typically do, and then it turns out that
he didn't scan all of his food, so he stole
(00:47):
some stuff. He didn't know that. He found that out later.
Then he was going to go back and make it right,
and his wife was like, don't worry about it, just
leave it alone. That sounds very much like something that
would happen in our relationship. Now he feels really bad
for stealing some meat and the wife is like, we
give them so much money, don't you worry about it?
And he's wondering what is he going to do on this?
And I just feel like this could be signed John.
(01:09):
Although I've never done this, this sounds like something I
would do. I'm not a fan of the self checkout.
And I also feel like if I made this mistake,
I'd come home and say something about it, and Heidi
W'd be like, don't you worry about it? This is
what we call our bonus meat. Well, you can chime
in with your advice for accidental meat thief in the uh,
where's it?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I love raspberry one of my favorite flavors. I love
it and today is Raspberry cake Day.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Look that I have raspberry water flea.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yes, you do, which you're not supposed to be drinking.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I'm drinking stuff anymore. I had some. I'm going to
continue to use it until it's gone.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
It's so not good for you. I threw this.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Did you throw it away?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I did.

Don't throw my stuff away.

Throw it away.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Because you showed it to me.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It's weird. Keep talking, Keep talking anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
There was a whole list of raspberry cocktails, but the
one that I am sharing today is it's called a
Flora Dora. Oh and I've never heard of this before,
and it's got something that I'm not even one hundred
percent sure how to pronounce. It's got gin, it's got
lime juice, it's got ginger ale. This is the part
I'm not sure about. Cremdev from boys F R A
(02:44):
M B O I S E and a lime wedge.
It looks really yummy. I don't know what that stuff
is or where you would even find it, but if
you can locate it, try this cocktail.

Now surveys and studies and such. New research shows that yoga,
tai chi, walking, and even jogging can help people with
insomnia improve their sleep quality. Team at Beijing University of
Chinese Medicine found yoga boosted total sleep time by an
average of one hundred and ten minutes per night. That's
a lot out performing the other exercise types. Tai Chi
(03:53):
practitioners gained around fifty two minutes of sleep per night.
Walking and jogging was found to be most effective, though
reducing insomnia severity, helping people better feel better during the day.
Scientists say the exercise can be a low cost, accessible
alternative to sleeping pills and therapy, but more research is needed,
so it doesn't say how much additional time was added
(04:14):
for jogging and.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Walking better than yoga apparently, so.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I don't know how long. But if you're struggling, maybe
you take a little walk and then you come home
and you'll fall right asleep. I've done that before. I
remember we did that one time. We were struggling with
something stressful and we went for a walk in the
middle of the night and we solved the problem. Do
you remember that, Well, we thought we did. I thought
we did. It was a good solution. Didn't turn out,
but boy, I WI sure came up with a great idea.
Surveys and studies and such. On The John and Heidi Show.

Little screen. Tom Cruise was one of the many celebs
who attended Oasis sold out concert at Wenbley Stadium. It
(05:07):
was a big deal given the history between the actor
and the band. The Gallagher Brothers roasted Cruise during a
scene in the two thousand and seven rockumentary Lord Don't
Slow Me Down. The movie follow Oasis on a world
tour anyway, they were not nice about him at all.
They were really really rude and mean, and one guy
even said I hate Tom Cruise. Oh so the fact
(05:28):
that he went to their film was kind of a
big deal. It says at the end they shook hands
and parted ways. So that's kind of cool. Anne Rice's
interview with the Vampires getting a new name and some
new cast members as it enterance its third season. The
AMC drama will be known now as The Vampire Lestatka
for season three. Lstad.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I mean again, I'm kind of out of the loop.
I don't watch a lot of the newer stuff. I
didn't even know Ann Rice's Thing had been made into
a show. Yeah that's cool.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And a new sitcom featuring comedian Leanne Morgan with Chuck
Lore as co creator, premiers Today. It follows her family's
life with trademark humor. It's not true because it's like
in this she's going through divorce and I don't believe
she is in real life. But anyway, it's called Leanne.
It's on Netflix. My Pillows having a closeout sale on

not the tallest mountain on Earth?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, there's another one.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I can't remember, Mount Quay and Mount a Loa in Hawaii,
a twin volcanoes. They're taller than Mount Everest, but a
bunch of their height is submerged under water. So the
Twin Volcanoes measure of staggering ten point two kilometers in
total compared to Everest's paltry eight point eight kilometers. But
the problem is, you know, if you want to hike
(07:17):
those mountains, you got to start way on the bottom
of the ocean, so.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Kind it could get burned up if it decides to go.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, you know, we don't know everything, but now we

(07:43):
day with my bride, Heidi. What do you got for me? Heidi?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
My dad always said, when one door closes, another one opens.
He was great at advice, but an awful cabinet builder.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We had a cabinet door hanging open. What was that
all about? Yeah, it's broken, it's not now I put
a screw in it. I didn't even see. I didn't
even see that there was ever a screw how did
we do that and not put a screw in that's
been there since two thousand and three.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh, it had screws in it day. Yeah, they came out.
I forgot to tell you, so.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
All right, Well, thank you for fixing it. Well you're welcome.
I'm so glad that you noticed days ago. That is Yeah,

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Time off for your scoop of the day. Dog has
a new puppy and it made his debut on Instagram recently.
I've not seen a photo of it yet, but I'm
a big fan of puppy dogs.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm a huge fan of dogs.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Here's the thing. We were babysitting a dog for a friend,
and I typically love dogs. But this dog again, Tim,
if you're listening, I love you, guys. I don't ever
want to watch that again. Their dog was going to
eat our little dog. He was just mean to our
small dog. Here's the thing. She kept egging him on,
(09:32):
so I'm like, I think that she likes it. Otherwise
they're like, well, we could just like separate them. But
then she was like running over and wanted to play.
I'm like, he's putting your entire head in his mouth.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I was peeing on her.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, I'm like, this is I don't think they're playing.
But no, no, no, anyway, moving right along. Nearly half of
adults say they have trouble reading their own handwriting. I'm
one of those. Researchers say two thousand adults were involved
in this study. Forty five percent of people struggle to
figure out their own scribblings, but their poor p dmanship
has led, on average to two instances of miscommunication with
(10:03):
colleagues at work. Despite the fact that many have trouble
reading their own handwriting, many of us still prefer handwritten material.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Not me.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Said, they write notes to themselves as their main method
of organization. Most often form lists. The most misread items
grocery lists, greeting cars, your holiday cards, and thank you notes.
So here's for me, I'll make a list.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I have never had a problem reading my own handwriter.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I'm going to see if I can find one right now.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Junkidie has left me notes before that I couldn't read.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
But here's what And I don't have any here now.
But so often you'll see a note like this. I'm
just holding up a notepad and it'll have a phone
number and a person's name, but I don't write write
who it is.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
So I'm like, you can't remember who sped to this number?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Who the heck is Carl? Am I supposed to call Carl?
Why am I supposed to call Carl? So if I
ever forget to call you, it's because I wrote myself
a note, but I didn't tell myself who you were?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
All right?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That is your scoop of the day on the John
and Heidie Show.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Sorry, Carl, thee Heidie Show.

Heidie Show, brought to you in park by Jacecasemedical dot com.

Time now for Dear John letters. All right, I'm excited
(11:29):
to see what Heidi has to say about this. I
have a feeling she's going to take the wife's side,
but I got a feeling I'm going to take the
man's side. But we'll see here. Here we go, Dear John,
I've been fighting with my wife for the last two
days over something that happened Sunday night. I stopped at
a store to pick up a few items for dinner.
I was in the checkout line and I looked over
and I noticed there was a self checkout with nobody
(11:49):
in line. I'm not a fan of those, but I
went over and I used it. That's when the problem happened.
I scanned everything, at least I thought I did. I
paid with my credit card and I left. As I
was leaving, I heard an alarm sound. I didn't think
anything of it, though. I just went got my car
and I left. When I got home, I was looking
at the receipt and I thought, well, that's a lot
less than it should have been. As it turns out,
(12:11):
I forgot to scan the meat, or I scanned it
and the scanner didn't work. It was twenty six dollars
and fifty three cents. I'm freaking out a little bit.
I wanted to go back to the store to make
it right, but my wife told me not to worry
about it. I am worried. What if next time I
walk into the grocery store they slap handcuffs on me,
posters on the door with my picture with the words
meat thief. My wife said, it's an honest mistake. It's
(12:35):
not your fault. We spent so much money at that store.
It's not a big deal. But I can't help it.
I should fix it, but now it's been two days.
That would be even more embarrassing. Should I ignore this
and hope it goes away? Do I just shop at
a different store? What do I do? Signed accidental meat thief?
First of all, I just want to say I think
(12:55):
it's adorable that it bothers you this much, because you're
such a kind person. Six dollars and fifty three cents.
Here's what you could do. You could write a little
card saying sorry, this happened. I want to make good
on this. Here's what happened, and mail it to them
if you don't want to get arrested when you walk in.
I don't think they're going to arrest you. By the way,
(13:15):
first of all, Heidi, I should ask you, what do
you think he should do?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
If an alarm went off? I would go back in,
because if an alarm went off, there is most likely
some sort of a security measure that they have in
place to find people who are ceiling and they're gonna
I would go back in. Yeah, if it wouldn't have
been for the alarm, if you would have accidentally done
this and it's twenty bucks, I would have said, don't
mess with it. But if there was an alarm, yeah,
you better fix it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And the thing is, I see where your wife is
coming from, going on a grand scheme of things. It's
not a big deal. It probably is not a big deal.
But I like the fact that it does bother you
because that means that you're a good person and you
know now you're going well, now it's been two days well,
now it's been even more than two days.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
So yeah, because you were waiting on us.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Well, and I responded right away with my advice. I
just said I would do something about it. I honestly would.
I remember one time going in way after this is
like a week later, I went in to buy We
had purchased some bags of cement and I didn't get
charged for one of them. So when I was in
paying for the next ones, I said, can you throw
one more on there? We had eleven last time, but
(14:19):
I thought I only had ten. The lady was so confused,
She's like, what's going I said, scan one more? And
I'm trying to explain to her it's like four dollars
and fifty cents whatever it was. But I'm like, we
were doing our fence, I had miscounted or somebody was
helping me load, and we had one more bag than
I paid for and I wanted to make it right,
and it was a challenge to make it right at
(14:41):
the store, and the lady kind of mocked me. She's like, really,
it's not a big deal. I'm like, well, I wanted
to make I wanted to pay for it because I
got that bag of concrete. So again, dude, accidental meat thief.
I could have written this letter so and even.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Alarm goes off, Yeah you better fix well.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
But I don't think you'd even dawned on him that
alarm had anything to do with him. It wasn't until
later that he realized, oh, hey that you know what,
maybe that's what that thinks.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
That's a little concerning.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
It's funny they didn't chase him on the parking lot,
and yeah, tackle that man, me fife, me thief crazy.
So if you would like to chime in with some advice,
you can do that. I've got this letter posted. It's
been there for a few days now at facebook dot
com slash John and Heidi Show and Heidi, what do
you say? What is your official advice?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
To go back in?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Go back so it's not too late? No, would you
don't think it's a good idea to just mail it in,
say hey, hey, I'm missed, so.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Because then if they do have your face posted on something,
they're not going to know that was necessarily you. You
want to go in, just go to customer service, say hey,
here's my receipt.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I did have this.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I owe you some money.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You don't believe me. Just listen to the radio, all right.
You can chime in with your advice. And I asked
for a fun letter, and he even said when he
first sent this over, I don't know if there's a
fun letter, but it's kind of funny. So there's my
fun letter. If you would like to chime in with
your fund letter, you can submit your Dear John letter
at the same place Facebook dot com, slash John and Heidishow,
(16:06):
or if you want to be one hundred percent anonymous,
I won't even know who it's from. You can set
it right through the page John and Heidishow dot com.

Thinking towards it. I don't know that you would have, but.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
The Chippewa Indians, which were mostly located like in the
Great Lakes area, so you know, Minnesota, North Dakota.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I Chippewa Falls and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, so that's where they were located. So water played
a huge part in their mythology. Okay, they had according
to them, according to Chippewa legend, they had something called
them me megsqui m E m e g w e
s I me megac. I don't know what they are,
(18:51):
but they are a race of skinny child size beings
that lived on riverbanks huh said to be made from
the bark of trees. They're pale and hairy, with six
fingers on each hand. Their large heads have glowing red
eyes and no nose. Their whiny voices might be mistaken
for a dragon FLI. This is so bizarre.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
So in some legends they are mostly harmless, appearing only
to a child or a chaman. But in other tales
they are vindictive, little tricksters that like to hide below
the rapids and capsize canoes. All right, you can either
get a really good one and get one that you
might want to try to kill you.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Let's hope for the good one.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
They're almost impossible for non Indians to see, but if
you look closely from the river bank you might spy
the pictographs that they left in the rocks.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Well that's good to know, I'll I.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Wouldn't want to see one out terrifying. Yeah, anyway, those
to me.

Fun fact for a Heidi Craft singles cannot be advertised
in the United States as cheese because the FDA standards
state a food can only be called cheese if it
contains at least fifty one percent real cheese. Craft singles
that yeah, fun factory, Heidi John. Being in a negative
(20:48):
relationship can weaken your immune system.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah, I don't done at all.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
How about this fun fact for a Heidi John. The
Eiffel Tower was planned for Barcelona. The project was rejected
because citizens thought that thing is an I sore, so
they wouldn't let them build it there. They said, Okay,
we'll take it to France.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Fun fact for a Hiding John. Victorian's so took photos
of dead relatives as a way to memorialize them. It's
called post mortem photography too.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
There really horrified.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
But the thing is, back then they didn't take a
lot of photo They didn't take a lot of photos.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Well, and you had to sit still so long. It's
probably the only way you could get a good photo
of somebody.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
We didn't have a photogram, so let's put her here.
Why do we have her look like she's playing baseball?
That's weird. And our final fun fact for a hiding
there's a lake that turns animals to stone. Tanzia. Lake

for some weird news. Most towns in the United States
have fireworks on the Fourth of July, but there's one
community in Alaska that they quit doing fireworks for a
(22:16):
few reasons. First of all, the sun doesn't even go
down until almost midnight on the fourth of July in
this community, due to the late sunset, they decided, Hey,
instead of fireworks, how about we just launch a car
off a cliff. Yeah, that's what they do. So since
two thousand and five, locals have painted beat up vehicles
in stars and stripes bald eagles. Then they set them
(22:36):
loose down a ramp where cheering crowds watch these cars
soar and flip through the air and crash. You spend
thirty dollars to watch fans show up at eight a m.
To get a good spot? Wow, what is a good
spot where parts of the car will hit? I think
you want a bad spot?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Pen.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Nothing says freedom like a flying forward, according to some.
So I've got a link to that story if you
want to read all the DTA and see images and whatnot.
It's in the show notes for today at John anddtheidishow
dot com. What am I getting too that? Finally, it's
a fourth of July story. Here we are way at
the end of the month. I sometimes hold onto this
stuff way too long. That's weird news. Thanks for listening.

Oh okay, this animal can hold its breath the longest.
Before I even give you, what would you say an animal?
(23:59):
An animal that can hold its breath the longest? What
would you say if I give you three choices? But
I don't know? Okay? Is it a sloth? Is it
a whale? Or is it a turtle?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I would I'm going to say a sloth because that
just seems weird.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
It is a sloth up to forty minutes. How weird?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Is that I didn't even know they went in the water,
but the other two kind of seemed obvious.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So there you go. Well, good job.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Well that's really weird.

Time out for something special with Heidi Small. What do
you have for me? Hettie?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
So, there is a an area in south San Francisco
called Colma, which is just south of San Francisco. It
is known as the City of Souls. Oh nice because
it has fewer than two thousand living residents, but nearly
two million not at rest.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Wow, it isn't that weird.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
So in the late eighteen eighties, San Francisco cemeteries were
nearly full, but real estate was becoming more and more expensive,
so residents turned to nearby Coma, and because many of
the old cemeteries were deteriorating, many of San Francisco's dead
were moved to mass graves in Coma. So she took
all these that were already at rest in a different
(25:31):
cemetery in San Francisco and threw them in a mass grave. Yikes.
But some of the famous residents that are in the
cemetery are Joe DiMaggio, Wyatt Earp, William Randolph Hearst. There's
like a whole bunch of there's a whole list of
There's one guy named who was named Harry the Horse Flambouris.
(25:55):
He was a former Health's Angels gang leader and they
supposedly buried him with.
Speaker 2 (25:59):

Time out for the list we started this yesterday. I've
got the entire list in the show notes, even the
ones we covered yesterday or there as well. What would
be your dying wish? Some odd requests from well known people.
Yesterday we talked about Harry Houdini, William Shakespeare, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Today we'll start with President Andrew Johnson, seventeenth President, asked
to be wrapped in an American flag with a copy
of the US Constitution placed beneath his head. I love that.
(27:03):
It's kind of cool. P. T. Barnum wanted to keep
the Barnum name, which was synonymous with circuses, from dying
with him, so he left his grandson, Clinton Steely, twenty
five thousand dollars on the condition that you change your
middle name to Barnum, and he did. And Janis Joplin
asked friends to have a farewell party for her at
her favorite pub, the Lions Shane in California. She left
(27:26):
twenty five hundred dollars in her will to finance the party.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And Albert Einstein, nobody knows what his last wishes were.
Why on his deathbed he was saying something to his nurse,
but he was speaking German and she did not understand German.
Oh so whatever Albert Einstein was trying to say, you know,
the secret to.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Life cure for cancer.
Speaker 2 (27:46):

odd that that's what they chose to do. I've got

some good news, and I love to wrap things up
around here with good news. This is a cool story.
(28:18):
Haunted by war, a marine found peace and a dream.
Then he brought it to life. So during the darkest
moments of Vietnam, a nineteen year old marine by the
name of Scott Harrison found an unexpected source of hope,
a tiny music box that was sent to him by
his sister stationed in an outpost conthene. I think is
how you say that? The soft notes of Chopin's Tresenne?
(28:40):
Is that how you'd say that? Anyway? I don't transitioned
him away from the chaos, filled his mind with calming
images of a carousel spinning peacefully in a mountain meadow.
Decades later, that day dream has now become a reality,
not just for Harrison, but for millions of others. After
the war, Harrison struggled with post traumatic stress disorder. He
turned out all to cope. The vision of that carousel
(29:02):
stayed in his mind. In nineteen eighty six, when he
learned that a discarded carousel frame in Utah was up
for grabs, he sees the opportunity. With the help of
a friend, he bought the frame and brought it to Colorado,
where he lives. Though he'd never carved before, he picked
up some tools and he started carving the shapes of animals,
starting with a whimsical rabbit that now get Great's visitors.
(29:24):
Over the years, he carved more than fifty unique animals,
thirty five of which are Riteable Animals. Memorial Day twenty ten,
the Carousel of Happiness officially open to the public. What
began as one man's journey to heal has now brought
joy to millions. The Carousel of Happiness is now a
nonprofit with a simple mission to spread joy and for Harrison,
(29:44):
he said, it's been life changing. I've got a link
to a video of this gentleman. What a cool story
and you can see all of the detail on this
and he put his heart and soul into making this
thing and it is amazing. I've got a link to
it in the show notes for today at johnndeidishow dot com.

It's it's Thursday. My beautiful bride is at my side. Hello, Heidi,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello? I'm good. How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm good? I'm I kind of feel as though this
Dear John letter could be us. There's a couple that's
they're having a little bit of a fight right now
because the gentleman went to the store and when he
was there, he ended up using the self checkout, which
he doesn't typically do, and then it turns out that
he didn't scan all of his food, so he stole
(00:47):
some stuff. He didn't know that. He found that out later.
Then he was going to go back and make it right,
and his wife was like, don't worry about it, just
leave it alone. That sounds very much like something that
would happen in our relationship. Now he feels really bad
for stealing some meat and the wife is like, we
give them so much money, don't you worry about it?
And he's wondering what is he going to do on this?
And I just feel like this could be signed John.
(01:09):
Although I've never done this, this sounds like something I
would do. I'm not a fan of the self checkout.
And I also feel like if I made this mistake,
I'd come home and say something about it, and Heidi
W'd be like, don't you worry about it? This is
what we call our bonus meat. Well, you can chime
in with your advice for accidental meat thief in the uh,

Yes, you do, which you're not supposed to be drinking.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I'm drinking stuff anymore. I had some. I'm going to
continue to use it until it's gone.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
It's so not good for you. I threw this.

There was a whole list of raspberry cocktails, but the
one that I am sharing today is it's called a
Flora Dora. Oh and I've never heard of this before,
and it's got something that I'm not even one hundred
percent sure how to pronounce. It's got gin, it's got
lime juice, it's got ginger ale. This is the part
I'm not sure about. Cremdev from boys F R A

Now surveys and studies and such. New research shows that yoga,
tai chi, walking, and even jogging can help people with
insomnia improve their sleep quality. Team at Beijing University of
Chinese Medicine found yoga boosted total sleep time by an
average of one hundred and ten minutes per night. That's
a lot out performing the other exercise types. Tai Chi
(03:53):
practitioners gained around fifty two minutes of sleep per night.
Walking and jogging was found to be most effective, though
reducing insomnia severity, helping people better feel better during the day.
Scientists say the exercise can be a low cost, accessible
alternative to sleeping pills and therapy, but more research is needed,
so it doesn't say how much additional time was added
(04:14):
for jogging and.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Walking better than yoga apparently, so.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I don't know how long. But if you're struggling, maybe
you take a little walk and then you come home
and you'll fall right asleep. I've done that before. I
remember we did that one time. We were struggling with
something stressful and we went for a walk in the
middle of the night and we solved the problem. Do
you remember that, Well, we thought we did. I thought
we did. It was a good solution. Didn't turn out,
but boy, I WI sure came up with a great idea.

who attended Oasis sold out concert at Wenbley Stadium. It
(05:07):
was a big deal given the history between the actor
and the band. The Gallagher Brothers roasted Cruise during a
scene in the two thousand and seven rockumentary Lord Don't
Slow Me Down. The movie follow Oasis on a world
tour anyway, they were not nice about him at all.
They were really really rude and mean, and one guy
even said I hate Tom Cruise. Oh so the fact
(05:28):
that he went to their film was kind of a
big deal. It says at the end they shook hands
and parted ways. So that's kind of cool. Anne Rice's

not the tallest mountain on Earth?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, there's another one.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I can't remember, Mount Quay and Mount a Loa in Hawaii,
a twin volcanoes. They're taller than Mount Everest, but a
bunch of their height is submerged under water. So the
Twin Volcanoes measure of staggering ten point two kilometers in
total compared to Everest's paltry eight point eight kilometers. But
the problem is, you know, if you want to hike
(07:17):
those mountains, you got to start way on the bottom
of the ocean, so.

a screw in it. I didn't even see. I didn't
even see that there was ever a screw how did
we do that and not put a screw in that's
been there since two thousand and three.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh, it had screws in it day. Yeah, they came out.

Time off for your scoop of the day. Dog has
a new puppy and it made his debut on Instagram recently.
I've not seen a photo of it yet, but I'm
a big fan of puppy dogs.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm a huge fan of dogs.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Here's the thing. We were babysitting a dog for a friend,
and I typically love dogs. But this dog again, Tim,
if you're listening, I love you, guys. I don't ever
want to watch that again. Their dog was going to
eat our little dog. He was just mean to our
small dog. Here's the thing. She kept egging him on,
(09:32):
so I'm like, I think that she likes it. Otherwise
they're like, well, we could just like separate them. But
then she was like running over and wanted to play.
I'm like, he's putting your entire head in his mouth.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I was peeing on her.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, I'm like, this is I don't think they're playing.
But no, no, no, anyway, moving right along. Nearly half of
adults say they have trouble reading their own handwriting. I'm
one of those. Researchers say two thousand adults were involved
in this study. Forty five percent of people struggle to
figure out their own scribblings, but their poor p dmanship
has led, on average to two instances of miscommunication with
(10:03):
colleagues at work. Despite the fact that many have trouble
reading their own handwriting, many of us still prefer handwritten material.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Not me.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Said, they write notes to themselves as their main method
of organization. Most often form lists. The most misread items
grocery lists, greeting cars, your holiday cards, and thank you notes.
So here's for me, I'll make a list.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I have never had a problem reading my own handwriter.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I'm going to see if I can find one right now.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Junkidie has left me notes before that I couldn't read.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
But here's what And I don't have any here now.
But so often you'll see a note like this. I'm
just holding up a notepad and it'll have a phone
number and a person's name, but I don't write write
who it is.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
So I'm like, you can't remember who sped to this number?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Who the heck is Carl? Am I supposed to call Carl?
Why am I supposed to call Carl? So if I
ever forget to call you, it's because I wrote myself
a note, but I didn't tell myself who you were?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
All right?
Speaker 2 (11:01):

Time now for Dear John letters. All right, I'm excited
(11:29):
to see what Heidi has to say about this. I
have a feeling she's going to take the wife's side,
but I got a feeling I'm going to take the
man's side. But we'll see here. Here we go, Dear John,
I've been fighting with my wife for the last two
days over something that happened Sunday night. I stopped at
a store to pick up a few items for dinner.
I was in the checkout line and I looked over
and I noticed there was a self checkout with nobody
(11:49):
in line. I'm not a fan of those, but I
went over and I used it. That's when the problem happened.
I scanned everything, at least I thought I did. I
paid with my credit card and I left. As I
was leaving, I heard an alarm sound. I didn't think
anything of it, though. I just went got my car
and I left. When I got home, I was looking
at the receipt and I thought, well, that's a lot
less than it should have been. As it turns out,
(12:11):
I forgot to scan the meat, or I scanned it
and the scanner didn't work. It was twenty six dollars
and fifty three cents. I'm freaking out a little bit.
I wanted to go back to the store to make
it right, but my wife told me not to worry
about it. I am worried. What if next time I
walk into the grocery store they slap handcuffs on me,
posters on the door with my picture with the words
meat thief. My wife said, it's an honest mistake. It's
(12:35):
not your fault. We spent so much money at that store.
It's not a big deal. But I can't help it.
I should fix it, but now it's been two days.
That would be even more embarrassing. Should I ignore this
and hope it goes away? Do I just shop at
a different store? What do I do? Signed accidental meat thief?
First of all, I just want to say I think
(12:55):
it's adorable that it bothers you this much, because you're
such a kind person. Six dollars and fifty three cents.
Here's what you could do. You could write a little
card saying sorry, this happened. I want to make good
on this. Here's what happened, and mail it to them
if you don't want to get arrested when you walk in.
I don't think they're going to arrest you. By the way,
(13:15):
first of all, Heidi, I should ask you, what do
you think he should do?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
If an alarm went off? I would go back in,
because if an alarm went off, there is most likely
some sort of a security measure that they have in
place to find people who are ceiling and they're gonna
I would go back in. Yeah, if it wouldn't have
been for the alarm, if you would have accidentally done
this and it's twenty bucks, I would have said, don't
mess with it. But if there was an alarm, yeah,
you better fix it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And the thing is, I see where your wife is
coming from, going on a grand scheme of things. It's
not a big deal. It probably is not a big deal.
But I like the fact that it does bother you
because that means that you're a good person and you
know now you're going well, now it's been two days well,
now it's been even more than two days.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
So yeah, because you were waiting on us.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Well, and I responded right away with my advice. I
just said I would do something about it. I honestly would.
I remember one time going in way after this is
like a week later, I went in to buy We
had purchased some bags of cement and I didn't get
charged for one of them. So when I was in
paying for the next ones, I said, can you throw
one more on there? We had eleven last time, but
(14:19):
I thought I only had ten. The lady was so confused,
She's like, what's going I said, scan one more? And
I'm trying to explain to her it's like four dollars
and fifty cents whatever it was. But I'm like, we
were doing our fence, I had miscounted or somebody was
helping me load, and we had one more bag than
I paid for and I wanted to make it right,
and it was a challenge to make it right at
(14:41):
the store, and the lady kind of mocked me. She's like, really,
it's not a big deal. I'm like, well, I wanted
to make I wanted to pay for it because I
got that bag of concrete. So again, dude, accidental meat thief.
I could have written this letter so and even.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Alarm goes off, Yeah you better fix well.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
But I don't think you'd even dawned on him that
alarm had anything to do with him. It wasn't until
later that he realized, oh, hey that you know what,
maybe that's what that thinks.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
That's a little concerning.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
It's funny they didn't chase him on the parking lot,
and yeah, tackle that man, me fife, me thief crazy.
So if you would like to chime in with some advice,
you can do that. I've got this letter posted. It's
been there for a few days now at facebook dot
com slash John and Heidi Show and Heidi, what do
you say? What is your official advice?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
To go back in?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Go back so it's not too late? No, would you
don't think it's a good idea to just mail it in,
say hey, hey, I'm missed, so.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Because then if they do have your face posted on something,
they're not going to know that was necessarily you. You
want to go in, just go to customer service, say hey,
here's my receipt.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I did have this.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I owe you some money.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You don't believe me. Just listen to the radio, all right.
You can chime in with your advice. And I asked
for a fun letter, and he even said when he
first sent this over, I don't know if there's a
fun letter, but it's kind of funny. So there's my
fun letter. If you would like to chime in with
your fund letter, you can submit your Dear John letter
at the same place Facebook dot com, slash John and Heidishow,
(16:06):
or if you want to be one hundred percent anonymous,
I won't even know who it's from. You can set
it right through the page John and Heidishow dot com.

The Chippewa Indians, which were mostly located like in the
Great Lakes area, so you know, Minnesota, North Dakota.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I Chippewa Falls and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, so that's where they were located. So water played
a huge part in their mythology. Okay, they had according
to them, according to Chippewa legend, they had something called
them me megsqui m E m e g w e
s I me megac. I don't know what they are,
(18:51):
but they are a race of skinny child size beings
that lived on riverbanks huh said to be made from
the bark of trees. They're pale and hairy, with six
fingers on each hand. Their large heads have glowing red
eyes and no nose. Their whiny voices might be mistaken
for a dragon FLI. This is so bizarre.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
So in some legends they are mostly harmless, appearing only
to a child or a chaman. But in other tales
they are vindictive, little tricksters that like to hide below
the rapids and capsize canoes. All right, you can either
get a really good one and get one that you
might want to try to kill you.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Let's hope for the good one.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
They're almost impossible for non Indians to see, but if
you look closely from the river bank you might spy
the pictographs that they left in the rocks.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Well that's good to know, I'll I.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Wouldn't want to see one out terrifying. Yeah, anyway, those

Fun fact for a Heidi Craft singles cannot be advertised
in the United States as cheese because the FDA standards
state a food can only be called cheese if it
contains at least fifty one percent real cheese. Craft singles

(20:48):
relationship can weaken your immune system.

But the thing is, back then they didn't take a
lot of photo They didn't take a lot of photos.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Well, and you had to sit still so long. It's
probably the only way you could get a good photo
of somebody.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
We didn't have a photogram, so let's put her here.
Why do we have her look like she's playing baseball?

for some weird news. Most towns in the United States
have fireworks on the Fourth of July, but there's one
community in Alaska that they quit doing fireworks for a
(22:16):
few reasons. First of all, the sun doesn't even go
down until almost midnight on the fourth of July in
this community, due to the late sunset, they decided, Hey,
instead of fireworks, how about we just launch a car
off a cliff. Yeah, that's what they do. So since
two thousand and five, locals have painted beat up vehicles
in stars and stripes bald eagles. Then they set them
(22:36):
loose down a ramp where cheering crowds watch these cars
soar and flip through the air and crash. You spend
thirty dollars to watch fans show up at eight a m.
To get a good spot? Wow, what is a good
spot where parts of the car will hit? I think
you want a bad spot?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Pen.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Nothing says freedom like a flying forward, according to some.
So I've got a link to that story if you
want to read all the DTA and see images and whatnot.
It's in the show notes for today at John anddtheidishow
dot com. What am I getting too that? Finally, it's
a fourth of July story. Here we are way at
the end of the month. I sometimes hold onto this
stuff way too long. That's weird news. Thanks for listening.

Time out for something special with Heidi Small. What do
you have for me? Hettie?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
So, there is a an area in south San Francisco
called Colma, which is just south of San Francisco. It
is known as the City of Souls. Oh nice because
it has fewer than two thousand living residents, but nearly
two million not at rest.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Wow, it isn't that weird.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
So in the late eighteen eighties, San Francisco cemeteries were
nearly full, but real estate was becoming more and more expensive,
so residents turned to nearby Coma, and because many of
the old cemeteries were deteriorating, many of San Francisco's dead
were moved to mass graves in Coma. So she took
all these that were already at rest in a different
(25:31):
cemetery in San Francisco and threw them in a mass grave. Yikes.
But some of the famous residents that are in the
cemetery are Joe DiMaggio, Wyatt Earp, William Randolph Hearst. There's
like a whole bunch of there's a whole list of
There's one guy named who was named Harry the Horse Flambouris.
(25:55):
He was a former Health's Angels gang leader and they
supposedly buried him with.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
His Okay, So, I mean, there's just it's interesting that is.

Time out for the list we started this yesterday. I've
got the entire list in the show notes, even the
ones we covered yesterday or there as well. What would
be your dying wish? Some odd requests from well known people.
Yesterday we talked about Harry Houdini, William Shakespeare, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Today we'll start with President Andrew Johnson, seventeenth President, asked
to be wrapped in an American flag with a copy
of the US Constitution placed beneath his head. I love that.
(27:03):
It's kind of cool. P. T. Barnum wanted to keep
the Barnum name, which was synonymous with circuses, from dying
with him, so he left his grandson, Clinton Steely, twenty
five thousand dollars on the condition that you change your
middle name to Barnum, and he did. And Janis Joplin
asked friends to have a farewell party for her at
her favorite pub, the Lions Shane in California. She left
(27:26):
twenty five hundred dollars in her will to finance the party.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And Albert Einstein, nobody knows what his last wishes were.
Why on his deathbed he was saying something to his nurse,
but he was speaking German and she did not understand German.
Oh so whatever Albert Einstein was trying to say, you know,
the secret to.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Life cure for cancer.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Maybe could have recorded that or something. That's just very
odd that that's what they chose to do. I've got

some good news, and I love to wrap things up
around here with good news. This is a cool story.
(28:18):
Haunted by war, a marine found peace and a dream.
Then he brought it to life. So during the darkest
moments of Vietnam, a nineteen year old marine by the
name of Scott Harrison found an unexpected source of hope,
a tiny music box that was sent to him by
his sister stationed in an outpost conthene. I think is
how you say that? The soft notes of Chopin's Tresenne?
(28:40):
Is that how you'd say that? Anyway? I don't transitioned
him away from the chaos, filled his mind with calming
images of a carousel spinning peacefully in a mountain meadow.
Decades later, that day dream has now become a reality,
not just for Harrison, but for millions of others. After
the war, Harrison struggled with post traumatic stress disorder. He
turned out all to cope. The vision of that carousel
(29:02):
stayed in his mind. In nineteen eighty six, when he
learned that a discarded carousel frame in Utah was up
for grabs, he sees the opportunity. With the help of
a friend, he bought the frame and brought it to Colorado,
where he lives. Though he'd never carved before, he picked
up some tools and he started carving the shapes of animals,
starting with a whimsical rabbit that now get Great's visitors.
(29:24):
Over the years, he carved more than fifty unique animals,
thirty five of which are Riteable Animals. Memorial Day twenty ten,
the Carousel of Happiness officially open to the public. What
began as one man's journey to heal has now brought
joy to millions. The Carousel of Happiness is now a
nonprofit with a simple mission to spread joy and for Harrison,
(29:44):
he said, it's been life changing. I've got a link
to a video of this gentleman. What a cool story
and you can see all of the detail on this
and he put his heart and soul into making this
thing and it is amazing. I've got a link to
it in the show notes for today at johnndeidishow dot com.
