I'm fabulous. I'm excited to visit with Kim Dickens from
The Better Sister. This is on Amazon and this has
been out for like a little over a month now, okay,
and I still have not watched. I was going to
watch it before we did our interview and I still
haven't had a chance to. It does look really good though,
so it's a little bit of drama, a little bit
of suspense. Interesting, it looks good. I'm going to chat
(00:46):
with Kim Dickens all about The Better Sister on Amazon Prime.

Wasn't it raspberry?

Never?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, we've had There's a lot of raspberry things this month.
That must be raspberry season.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Apparently. I'm excited, though, but.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I have never had a raspberry creampie.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't think I have either.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I would like to.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I like raspberries, I do do so.

Now surveys and studies and such. Eating two eggs per
day could actually lower your bad LDL cholesterol. According to
University of Southern Australia researchers, don't they keep cheating, They
go back and forth, back and forth, but only when
part of a low saturated fat diet. They found that
saturated fat intake, not dietary cholesterol, is directly linked to
heart disease. In a finding that could reshape how we
(02:46):
think about breakfast and heart health, scientists there concluded that
eggs are not cholesterol villains, and the real problem may
have been lurking in the butter that we use to
cook it. They say full fat, dairy and faty meals
are bad is what they're saying, not the not the
eggs here's the thing. It all depends on who you ask.
(03:06):
Everybody has an opinion.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
On It's going to change in a week anyway, So
just don't stress yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I would say, you do you and you know if
you wonder, you can ask somebody that knows. But that's
not me, because I'm just some radio clown. Surveys and

(03:43):
fan of the TV show Friends. Yeah she was.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I don't know if she still is.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I know a lot of people that are big fans

most memorable storylines. According to their press release, and Eddie
Murphy lets some major Shrek news slip out during an interview.
He's promoting a film called The Pickup, and he was
asked about his role in Shrek five, and he said
(04:29):
he's recording his parts, but he'll start recording dialogue for
a Shrek spinoff film centered around his beloved character Donkey. Said,
we start in September on Donkey. We're doing a Donkey
one and that'll be released three years from now.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
And fun.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, he's teased a Donkey movie in the past, but
this is the most subtle or substantives count whatever, the
most important comments. There's a word there that I'm not
going to just diving right over that. You can read

did you know that our Solar system has a wall? Huh? No,
it's called heliopause h E l io pa u s E.
It's a region of space in which solar wind is
not hot enough to push back the wind of particles
(05:46):
coming from the distant stars. It's often considered the boundary
wall of the Solar System in interstellar space. So that's
between our Solar system and another one, all part of
the universe. Apparently, I don't know. I don't know how
this stuff works. I'm glad somebody knows something about it, because.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't think they even know it's all it's all
made up.
Speaker 2 (06:04):

(06:26):
for the joke of the Day with my beautiful bride, Heidi.
What you got for me? Heidi.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
A group of chess enthusiasts were standing in the lobby
of a hotel, bragging about all of their recent victories.
The manager came out and said, all right, you guys
need to disperse. But why, they asked as they moved off,
Because I can't stand chestnuts boasting in an open foyer.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I was wondering where you're going to. That's your second
chess joke this week. I'm on the edge of my seat.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Do not.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It is your joke of the day right here on
The John and Heidi Show.
Speaker 1 (07:03):

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Time Now for the scoop of the day. Okay, by
urinating in the shower, you can savesty gallons of water
every year.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
That is so coo.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I read somewhere that eighty percent of people do that.
In other statistics at sixty percent of people. So it's
not as gross. Well, it might still be as gross,
but it's as uncommon as you think. And your dad
talked about it on Tuesdays numerous times, and he's pretty
proud of the fact that he does.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Speaking of your dad, how often have you heard somebody
say something like he gets his sense of humor from
his dad, or he gets her sense of humor from
her mom. Well, it turns out being funny might not
be in your DNA after all. A new study led
by doctor gilt.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
On your DNA, but it certainly has picked up from
the people that you are around.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Can I finish reading here? In A new study led
by doctor gil Greengross, which right there, it's kind of
an interesting name, looked at over thirteen hundred sets of
twins to see if being able to make people laugh,
called a humor product ability, is inherited. Surprisingly, they say
it is not identical. Twins share all of the genes,
(08:38):
but there weren't much. They weren't much more similar in
joke telling skills than fraternal twins. The study had participants
right cartoon captions that were rated by judges. The results
showed the environment mattered to one sense of humor more
than genetics, So Heidi was right the environment. The Sklar brothers,
who are twin comedians, agreed being raised in a joke
(09:00):
filled household can shape your funny bone. As he put it,
one of the twins put it, Jason said, humor is
currency in the house, and kids definitely cash it in.
So and I agree with that I lived in a house.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I suppose they got paid by the government to do this,
probably when it was just common sense. I didn't get
a dime, and I knew what the income.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
She gave away the ending, and she shot that for
all of us, didn't she? Wow. Scoop of the day
right here on The John and Heidie Show, The Heidie Show.

(09:41):
Thank you for listening to The John and Heidie Show
on a Friday. Excited to visit. Right now with Kim Dickens,
we're going to talk about The Better Sister. It's out now.
It's been out for about a month now, maybe a
little over a month now on Prime Video. But you
might know Kim from Deadwood, from Fear of the Walking Dead,
from other movies and TV shows and this new series
this looks really good and I apologize and I haven't
(10:02):
had a chance to see it yet. I did watch
the trailer and man, this looks amazing.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Oh yeah, it's a it's a juicy who done it
and it's going to deliver.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I mean, it's very well written, it's act with an
amazing cast of actors that's led by Jessica Biel. Then
Elizabeth Thanks plays her sister, and it's a sister dynamic
that's very as a strange and you find out what
happened and ultimately you find uh, the tragedy will bring
them back together. But I play the detective who sort
(10:32):
of pounds them on a daily basis.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Well, and you do such a good job of playing
this detective and you know, again you're doing your job.
You're trying to you're trying to, you know, find justice.
But you kind of get to be, you know, a
little bit of a rough edge on this, don't you.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Yeah, I'm a detective man Gidgery that I play. She's very,
very opinionated. She's got a little attitude and wagger to her.
She really loves her job. Most importantly, she loves it.
She loves hunt. But there's a levity to it in
the way she kind of calls out any spoiled richness
that she sees and it's kind of an audience's surget
(11:07):
and she gets to have a little levity here and there.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I love that. And now you've done a great job
of playing a bunch of different characters. As you look
at the entire body of work that you've done, are
there any characters that you would say are the closest
to the real Kim Dickens. Are you similar to the
character from Deadwood or from the Walking Dead or House
of Cards or is there one that's kind of closest
to you?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Wow? Wow Wow.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I mean, you know, I really don't. I really don't
feel like they are. But there is something in me
that is connected, connects to the characters. You know, there's
a colonel in me that connects to Jonny Sebbs and
something in her upbringing or you know, because I mean,
(11:52):
I don't feel like I'm like a madam in the
eighteen hundreds. But there's something you have to you know,
a deep colonel and you know, just something that you
can you can hook onto and then sort of.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Fly from there. But yeah, yeah, I know I couldn't
say maybe I'm missing it at some point. I mean,
I certainly can't say I'm like Madison Clark, You're the
Waking Deck of I could never kill all the zombies,
but you know, I'm kind of like really good in
an emergency, Like my friends always say, I'm in the
first one. I'm like, let's go back, let's go you know.
(12:24):
So I'm kind of like Madison Clark in a way,
but uh, you know, only there would be slight, little,
uh slight moments that I'm similar to some.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Of these characters.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Very nice. Now, how about the character in this new program,
The Better Sister? Are you anything at all like the Detective?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Well? Apparently, I mean my my friends Regina Carrado and
Olivia Milch are the showrunners, and they you know, told me,
you know, like last year, They're like, well, we're writing
this with you and mine as far as like what
I could offer in the script and in the story
that is, and you know, I just kind of split
into it. I don't think I'm like this character at all,
(13:01):
but I think they knew I could. There's something in
me that would fill it out.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well, the thing that I like about this the story.
It comes from a book. It's a book that was
put out a while back, and they turned it into
instead of a movie, an eight episode limited series. And
I'm glad they did that because if they had made
this a movie, you know, and even if it was
a long movie like two hours, I don't think that
would have been enough time to tell the whole story.
But I also love that they didn't drag it out
(13:27):
and say, Okay, we're gonna make you know, a bunch
of episodes and it's going to be multiple seasons. I
think eight episodes is perfect.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Yeah, eight episodes is a good amount. Yeah, it's a
good amount for you know, like acts and everything, because
historically things are kind of an act and that's how
you can take it in and you know, get to
where you're going.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And for me, I'm always afraid when I see like
I'll click through Prime video and I'll see a series
and I'm like, oh no, there's like five seasons. That
means I need to watch ninety three hours to get
caught up. So then I just kind of skip it.
So this the cool thing. Eight episodes. Yeah, eight episodes,
I can do this.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, Yeah, I think you can do it. John. Yeah, well,
actually you're going to watch the eight and then you're.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Gonna watch Well, there you go.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
We're gonna leave them wanting more.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I appreciate you taking the time to chat about the
Better Sister, and again, uh, congrats on all the great
things you've got going on.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Thank you, John, appreciate it. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Absolutely again. Kim Dickens has been our guest today. She's
in a new series on Prime Video. The series is
called The Better Sister Again. It's a limited series, so

you know, nine years to get caught up. I've got
a link to the trailer and all the information in
the show notes for today at John Anddheidishow dot com.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Ano their list of some strange laws that are out there.
In Christiansburg, Virginia. It's a crime to imitate the sound
of a police whistle.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Okay, that's good to know.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
It's against the lawn Iowa to charge people to watch
a one armed pianist perform.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It's good to know.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I don't know why I like that one.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
That's a bizarre that is so small.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I should be able to get paid if they're performing.
That doesn't make anything.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
They can perform. They just mean you just can't charge
them to perform to watch them perform.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, And Missouri, men are legally required to have a
permit to shave. It's a crime. I'm in Long Beach,
California to curse while playing miniature golf, which I get
because kids could be there.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I mean, you know, yes.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And a man may not legally wear strapless evening gown
in Miami. Clearly they have let that one lapse.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
That is some fun stuff there. Heidi, thank you.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (17:22):

Fun fact for you, Heidi John At any given moment,
there are eight teen hundred thunderstorms happening on Earth. They're
just kind of dispersed all over the place, but they're
going on all the time. Fun fact for Heidi. The
left drumstick of a chicken is more tender than the
right drumstick of a chicken. Oh, I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Why?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I don't know. Fun fact for a hiding. You'd have
to eat five kilograms or eleven pounds of potatoes to
gain one pound of weight, So you'd have to eat
so again, eleven pounds of potatoes to eat a pound
to gain a pound of weight. I don't think it
works that way. That checks out for me. Every Thanksgiving
is about how much I eat. Fun fact for a hiding.
(18:35):
William Shakespeare had a curse engraved on his tombstone to
prevent anybody from moving his bones. Wow did that work?
Fun fact for you, heiding. Leonard Cohen originally wrote eighty
verses for his famous song halle Lujah, which he sometimes
interchanged depending on where he was performing.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
So that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It's very cool. Several fun facts now, you know. Thanks

In nineteen twenty five in Minnesota, a Minnesota valley company

Green Giant trademark was born at that point.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
The original, though, was not the pleasant icon that we know.
He was stooped and scowling. He wore a scruffy beard skin,
and he looked more like the Incredible Hulk.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Okay, there was just one problem.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
This angry guy was scaring the children who were supposed
to want to eat the product. So in the mid
nineteen thirties he underwent a makeover. They improved his posture,
they gave him a nice smile, and he'd done new
leafy clothes, and the company added the word jolly to
his name and gave.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Him his signature Ho Ho Giant.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yep, the Jolly Green Giant ended up bringing this company
so much success that in the nineteen fifties, Minnesota Valley
Clean Canning Company rebranded its name to Green Giant. So
that's when they became the Green Giant Company, and anyway
now represents all of their products, not just those peace
which is kind of cool. But I said, this is
(22:56):
the thing with John's family, because they used to go
on vacation to go I wouldn't see the Green Giants.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
We didn't. That wasn't the destination. It was on the
way to see our relatives, and we would always stop there.
And I don't know why it was such a big deal.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I don't know. I just remember that when we got married,
John's like, oh, I'm going to take you to go
see something. And we pull up and this is the
statue of the Green Giant.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I'm like, she's mighty. I'm like, I'm a questioning everything.
I just married you. This is exciting to you? Is
it too late for an alment?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I also, I just remember one time we stayed out
tell by the Green Giant.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It was not good in the bed.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
It was you were rolling into each other all night.
There was a huge dimmit in the middle. We're both
clinging to the edge.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Of the bed.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
That's not the Green Giant's fault, all right. That is
something special with Heidi Small.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Time now for the list movies that are better than
the book? Do you have any that you can think
of instantly where the movie was better than the book?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Forst.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Gump that I would agree and it is not on
the list, and I would agree with that completely. We're
going to go through just a few of these day.
I've got the whole list in the show notes. We'll
go through the rest of them over the next few
days Jurassic Park. It says the novel was thrilling, but
the nineteen ninety three film perfect.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
They just did an amazing.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
So and again, there are some lines in that movie
that were just absolutely amazing. So and the talented mister Ripley.
Apparently the novel was kind of slow burned psychological suspense,
but the nineteen ninety nine film starring Matt Damon and
Wyneth Paltrow, it turned out way better than anyone expected.
So and then Heidi had mentioned Forrest comp Yeah, that's
(25:07):
not on this list, but I will say this, I
agree completely. I bought the book after watching the movie.
I started reading the book and I'm like, I don't
like this.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
For Yeah, he's not a likable guy.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And then I did an interview with the author and
then I was like, do I tell him? I did
not tell him. He did not, but he seemed like
a very nice man. Do you know he wrote a
sequel to the book? Yes, that they did not make
into a movie. I did know, so I asked him
if you liked the movie. He's like, I was good,
I actually wrote a sequel. I'm like, yeah, man, he
didn't get as much money as most people think he
(25:38):
got like three hundred and seventy five thousand for the
rights for the movie, which is a lot of money
to me, but a lot.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Of money, but when you see what it made, yeah,
he should have asked for residual.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Probably. That is the list. We'll finish this up in
the show or finish it up tomorrow, but I have
the whole list in the show notes for today at
johndeidishow dot com.
Speaker 1 (25:56):

to wrap things up around here with good news, and
I think this is good news. This is a really
(26:19):
kind of a cool story. A man's livelihood was stolen
from him, but a stranger came to his rescue. This
happened in central Florida. We're a landscaper back on his
feet now thanks to an incredible act of kindness sparked
by a local news story and a mother's heartfelt plea.
Thirty two year old Kyle Lusco, a disabled landscaper in Florida,
(26:39):
had his trailer stolen from his home all of the
essential equipment that he needed to run that business ohe
His mother shared the story on social media, hoping somebody
might be able to help. She said, Kyle is disabled
and has worked very hard to get what he has.
He also, for the last seven years has donated time
to a food charity bank in Orlando area. If anybody
can do anything to help him, try to get a
his LNA whipment back. This is the only income he
(27:02):
has to pay the bills, and now he can do nothing. Well,
somebody online saw this, and somebody else shared this. Next thing,
you know, the TV station in Orlando, Fox TV there
decided hey, let's do a story on this, and they did.
And then there's somebody else by the name of Sean
Beck who saw that, and he runs an ath trailer
sales business, and he decided, you know what, I can
(27:23):
help this guy. So he said, I probably watched the
story eight or ten times just thinking I need to
do something, and then he did. He helped him set
him up with a brand new, custom built trailer with
a lock and he replaced all the stuff inside that
was stolen, which I think is really cool. He said,
wanted to help this guy get back on his feet.
The mom says, you are an angel in my son's life.
(27:44):
He needed somebody to help. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
That is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And they set up a gofundmeate to kind of help
get all this stuff kickstarted. And they kind of had
this lofty goal of you know, let's see how much
money we can raise. Well, they raised sixty five hundred
dollars and it's all you know, that's what they were
wanting to do. And the cool thing is, I think
it is amazing that they were able to get this
thing all set up and ready to go. This young
man again just out doing what he's doing. And now
(28:09):
he's got a new trailer and he's got some new
equipment to hopefully help keep things rolling forward and leave thee.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
If something doesn't belong to you, don't take it.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I just don't understand. But there are people out there heiding.

Now surveys and studies and such. Eating two eggs per
day could actually lower your bad LDL cholesterol. According to
University of Southern Australia researchers, don't they keep cheating, They
go back and forth, back and forth, but only when
part of a low saturated fat diet. They found that
saturated fat intake, not dietary cholesterol, is directly linked to
heart disease. In a finding that could reshape how we
(02:46):
think about breakfast and heart health, scientists there concluded that
eggs are not cholesterol villains, and the real problem may
have been lurking in the butter that we use to
cook it. They say full fat, dairy and faty meals
are bad is what they're saying, not the not the
eggs here's the thing. It all depends on who you ask.

did you know that our Solar system has a wall? Huh? No,
it's called heliopause h E l io pa u s E.
It's a region of space in which solar wind is
not hot enough to push back the wind of particles
(05:46):
coming from the distant stars. It's often considered the boundary
wall of the Solar System in interstellar space. So that's
between our Solar system and another one, all part of
the universe. Apparently, I don't know. I don't know how
this stuff works. I'm glad somebody knows something about it, because.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't think they even know it's all it's all
made up.

What you got for me? Heidi.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
A group of chess enthusiasts were standing in the lobby
of a hotel, bragging about all of their recent victories.
The manager came out and said, all right, you guys
need to disperse. But why, they asked as they moved off,
Because I can't stand chestnuts boasting in an open foyer.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I was wondering where you're going to. That's your second
chess joke this week. I'm on the edge of my seat.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Do not.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Time Now for the scoop of the day. Okay, by
urinating in the shower, you can savesty gallons of water
every year.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
That is so coo.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I read somewhere that eighty percent of people do that.
In other statistics at sixty percent of people. So it's
not as gross. Well, it might still be as gross,
but it's as uncommon as you think. And your dad
talked about it on Tuesdays numerous times, and he's pretty
proud of the fact that he does.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Speaking of your dad, how often have you heard somebody
say something like he gets his sense of humor from
his dad, or he gets her sense of humor from
her mom. Well, it turns out being funny might not
be in your DNA after all. A new study led
by doctor gilt.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
On your DNA, but it certainly has picked up from
the people that you are around.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Can I finish reading here? In A new study led
by doctor gil Greengross, which right there, it's kind of
an interesting name, looked at over thirteen hundred sets of
twins to see if being able to make people laugh,
called a humor product ability, is inherited. Surprisingly, they say
it is not identical. Twins share all of the genes,
(08:38):
but there weren't much. They weren't much more similar in
joke telling skills than fraternal twins. The study had participants
right cartoon captions that were rated by judges. The results
showed the environment mattered to one sense of humor more
than genetics, So Heidi was right the environment. The Sklar brothers,
who are twin comedians, agreed being raised in a joke
(09:00):
filled household can shape your funny bone. As he put it,
one of the twins put it, Jason said, humor is
currency in the house, and kids definitely cash it in.
So and I agree with that I lived in a house.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I suppose they got paid by the government to do this,
probably when it was just common sense. I didn't get
a dime, and I knew what the income.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
She gave away the ending, and she shot that for
all of us, didn't she? Wow. Scoop of the day
right here on The John and Heidie Show, The Heidie Show.

(09:41):
Thank you for listening to The John and Heidie Show
on a Friday. Excited to visit. Right now with Kim Dickens,
we're going to talk about The Better Sister. It's out now.
It's been out for about a month now, maybe a
little over a month now on Prime Video. But you
might know Kim from Deadwood, from Fear of the Walking Dead,
from other movies and TV shows and this new series
this looks really good and I apologize and I haven't
(10:02):
had a chance to see it yet. I did watch
the trailer and man, this looks amazing.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Oh yeah, it's a it's a juicy who done it
and it's going to deliver.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I mean, it's very well written, it's act with an
amazing cast of actors that's led by Jessica Biel. Then
Elizabeth Thanks plays her sister, and it's a sister dynamic
that's very as a strange and you find out what
happened and ultimately you find uh, the tragedy will bring
them back together. But I play the detective who sort
(10:32):
of pounds them on a daily basis.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Well, and you do such a good job of playing
this detective and you know, again you're doing your job.
You're trying to you're trying to, you know, find justice.
But you kind of get to be, you know, a
little bit of a rough edge on this, don't you.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Yeah, I'm a detective man Gidgery that I play. She's very,
very opinionated. She's got a little attitude and wagger to her.
She really loves her job. Most importantly, she loves it.
She loves hunt. But there's a levity to it in
the way she kind of calls out any spoiled richness
that she sees and it's kind of an audience's surget
(11:07):
and she gets to have a little levity here and there.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I love that. And now you've done a great job
of playing a bunch of different characters. As you look
at the entire body of work that you've done, are
there any characters that you would say are the closest
to the real Kim Dickens. Are you similar to the
character from Deadwood or from the Walking Dead or House
of Cards or is there one that's kind of closest
to you?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Wow? Wow Wow.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I mean, you know, I really don't. I really don't
feel like they are. But there is something in me
that is connected, connects to the characters. You know, there's
a colonel in me that connects to Jonny Sebbs and
something in her upbringing or you know, because I mean,
(11:52):
I don't feel like I'm like a madam in the
eighteen hundreds. But there's something you have to you know,
a deep colonel and you know, just something that you
can you can hook onto and then sort of.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Fly from there. But yeah, yeah, I know I couldn't
say maybe I'm missing it at some point. I mean,
I certainly can't say I'm like Madison Clark, You're the
Waking Deck of I could never kill all the zombies,
but you know, I'm kind of like really good in
an emergency, Like my friends always say, I'm in the
first one. I'm like, let's go back, let's go you know.
(12:24):
So I'm kind of like Madison Clark in a way,
but uh, you know, only there would be slight, little,
uh slight moments that I'm similar to some.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Of these characters.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Very nice. Now, how about the character in this new program,
The Better Sister? Are you anything at all like the Detective?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Well? Apparently, I mean my my friends Regina Carrado and
Olivia Milch are the showrunners, and they you know, told me,
you know, like last year, They're like, well, we're writing
this with you and mine as far as like what
I could offer in the script and in the story
that is, and you know, I just kind of split
into it. I don't think I'm like this character at all,
(13:01):
but I think they knew I could. There's something in
me that would fill it out.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well, the thing that I like about this the story.
It comes from a book. It's a book that was
put out a while back, and they turned it into
instead of a movie, an eight episode limited series. And
I'm glad they did that because if they had made
this a movie, you know, and even if it was
a long movie like two hours, I don't think that
would have been enough time to tell the whole story.
But I also love that they didn't drag it out
(13:27):
and say, Okay, we're gonna make you know, a bunch
of episodes and it's going to be multiple seasons. I
think eight episodes is perfect.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Yeah, eight episodes is a good amount. Yeah, it's a
good amount for you know, like acts and everything, because
historically things are kind of an act and that's how
you can take it in and you know, get to
where you're going.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And for me, I'm always afraid when I see like
I'll click through Prime video and I'll see a series
and I'm like, oh no, there's like five seasons. That
means I need to watch ninety three hours to get
caught up. So then I just kind of skip it.
So this the cool thing. Eight episodes. Yeah, eight episodes,
I can do this.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, Yeah, I think you can do it. John. Yeah, well,
actually you're going to watch the eight and then you're.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Gonna watch Well, there you go.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
We're gonna leave them wanting more.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I appreciate you taking the time to chat about the
Better Sister, and again, uh, congrats on all the great
things you've got going on.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Thank you, John, appreciate it. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Absolutely again. Kim Dickens has been our guest today. She's
in a new series on Prime Video. The series is
called The Better Sister Again. It's a limited series, so
only eight episodes. You don't have to watch for like
you know, nine years to get caught up. I've got
a link to the trailer and all the information in
the show notes for today at John Anddheidishow dot com.

Ano their list of some strange laws that are out there.
In Christiansburg, Virginia. It's a crime to imitate the sound
of a police whistle.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Okay, that's good to know.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
It's against the lawn Iowa to charge people to watch
a one armed pianist perform.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It's good to know.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I don't know why I like that one.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
That's a bizarre that is so small.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I should be able to get paid if they're performing.
That doesn't make anything.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
They can perform. They just mean you just can't charge
them to perform to watch them perform.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, And Missouri, men are legally required to have a
permit to shave. It's a crime. I'm in Long Beach,
California to curse while playing miniature golf, which I get
because kids could be there.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I mean, you know, yes.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And a man may not legally wear strapless evening gown
in Miami. Clearly they have let that one lapse.
Speaker 2 (17:19):

left drumstick of a chicken is more tender than the
right drumstick of a chicken. Oh, I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Why?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I don't know. Fun fact for a hiding. You'd have
to eat five kilograms or eleven pounds of potatoes to
gain one pound of weight, So you'd have to eat
so again, eleven pounds of potatoes to eat a pound
to gain a pound of weight. I don't think it
works that way. That checks out for me. Every Thanksgiving
is about how much I eat. Fun fact for a hiding.

William Shakespeare had a curse engraved on his tombstone to

(21:30):
Time out for something special with Heidi Small. What you
got for me? Heidi?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
We're gonna talk about something that was very near and
dear to John's family.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh what was this?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
In nineteen twenty five in Minnesota, a Minnesota valley company
introduced what became its signature product, an unusually large, sweet
and tender pea called the Green Giant. Oh yeah, the
Green Giant trademark was born at that point.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
The original, though, was not the pleasant icon that we know.
He was stooped and scowling. He wore a scruffy beard skin,
and he looked more like the Incredible Hulk.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Okay, there was just one problem.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
This angry guy was scaring the children who were supposed
to want to eat the product. So in the mid
nineteen thirties he underwent a makeover. They improved his posture,
they gave him a nice smile, and he'd done new
leafy clothes, and the company added the word jolly to
his name and gave.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Him his signature Ho Ho Giant.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yep, the Jolly Green Giant ended up bringing this company
so much success that in the nineteen fifties, Minnesota Valley
Clean Canning Company rebranded its name to Green Giant. So
that's when they became the Green Giant Company, and anyway
now represents all of their products, not just those peace
which is kind of cool. But I said, this is
(22:56):
the thing with John's family, because they used to go
on vacation to go I wouldn't see the Green Giants.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
We didn't. That wasn't the destination. It was on the
way to see our relatives, and we would always stop there.
And I don't know why it was such a big deal.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I don't know. I just remember that when we got married,
John's like, oh, I'm going to take you to go
see something. And we pull up and this is the
statue of the Green Giant.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I'm like, she's mighty. I'm like, I'm a questioning everything.
I just married you. This is exciting to you? Is
it too late for an alment?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I also, I just remember one time we stayed out
tell by the Green Giant.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It was not good in the bed.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
It was you were rolling into each other all night.
There was a huge dimmit in the middle. We're both
clinging to the edge.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Of the bed.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
That's not the Green Giant's fault, all right. That is
something special with Heidi Small.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Time now for the list movies that are better than
the book? Do you have any that you can think
of instantly where the movie was better than the book?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Forst.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Gump that I would agree and it is not on
the list, and I would agree with that completely. We're
going to go through just a few of these day.
I've got the whole list in the show notes. We'll
go through the rest of them over the next few
days Jurassic Park. It says the novel was thrilling, but
the nineteen ninety three film perfect.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
They just did an amazing.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
So and again, there are some lines in that movie
that were just absolutely amazing. So and the talented mister Ripley.
Apparently the novel was kind of slow burned psychological suspense,
but the nineteen ninety nine film starring Matt Damon and
Wyneth Paltrow, it turned out way better than anyone expected.
So and then Heidi had mentioned Forrest comp Yeah, that's
(25:07):
not on this list, but I will say this, I
agree completely. I bought the book after watching the movie.
I started reading the book and I'm like, I don't
like this.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
For Yeah, he's not a likable guy.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And then I did an interview with the author and
then I was like, do I tell him? I did
not tell him. He did not, but he seemed like
a very nice man. Do you know he wrote a
sequel to the book? Yes, that they did not make
into a movie. I did know, so I asked him
if you liked the movie. He's like, I was good,
I actually wrote a sequel. I'm like, yeah, man, he
didn't get as much money as most people think he
(25:38):
got like three hundred and seventy five thousand for the
rights for the movie, which is a lot of money
to me, but a lot.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Of money, but when you see what it made, yeah,
he should have asked for residual.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Probably. That is the list. We'll finish this up in
the show or finish it up tomorrow, but I have
the whole list in the show notes for today at
johndeidishow dot com.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Show.
Speaker 2 (25:57):

MyPillow dot com use promo code happy. We always like
to wrap things up around here with good news, and
I think this is good news. This is a really
(26:19):
kind of a cool story. A man's livelihood was stolen
from him, but a stranger came to his rescue. This
happened in central Florida. We're a landscaper back on his
feet now thanks to an incredible act of kindness sparked
by a local news story and a mother's heartfelt plea.
Thirty two year old Kyle Lusco, a disabled landscaper in Florida,
(26:39):
had his trailer stolen from his home all of the
essential equipment that he needed to run that business ohe
His mother shared the story on social media, hoping somebody
might be able to help. She said, Kyle is disabled
and has worked very hard to get what he has.
He also, for the last seven years has donated time
to a food charity bank in Orlando area. If anybody
can do anything to help him, try to get a
his LNA whipment back. This is the only income he
(27:02):
has to pay the bills, and now he can do nothing. Well,
somebody online saw this, and somebody else shared this. Next thing,
you know, the TV station in Orlando, Fox TV there
decided hey, let's do a story on this, and they did.
And then there's somebody else by the name of Sean
Beck who saw that, and he runs an ath trailer
sales business, and he decided, you know what, I can
(27:23):
help this guy. So he said, I probably watched the
story eight or ten times just thinking I need to
do something, and then he did. He helped him set
him up with a brand new, custom built trailer with
a lock and he replaced all the stuff inside that
was stolen, which I think is really cool. He said,
wanted to help this guy get back on his feet.
The mom says, you are an angel in my son's life.
(27:44):
He needed somebody to help. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
That is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And they set up a gofundmeate to kind of help
get all this stuff kickstarted. And they kind of had
this lofty goal of you know, let's see how much
money we can raise. Well, they raised sixty five hundred
dollars and it's all you know, that's what they were
wanting to do. And the cool thing is, I think
it is amazing that they were able to get this
thing all set up and ready to go. This young
man again just out doing what he's doing. And now
(28:09):
he's got a new trailer and he's got some new
equipment to hopefully help keep things rolling forward and leave thee.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
If something doesn't belong to you, don't take it.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I just don't understand. But there are people out there heiding.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Oh, I know, it's awful.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I got a link to this story in the show
notes for today at John dheidishow dot com. Time saying
bye Heide bye, Heidi, goodbye body, have a great day.
