Now surveys and Studies and Sacha study revealed that nearly
half of British adults feel that they've forgotten how to
enjoy play. Yeah, people over the age forty two are
the most affected. To remind everyone that fun is timeless,
a giant ball pit with sixty five thousand red balls
was installed in Manchester, encouraging people to play and laugh
(02:48):
and donate for charity. They say it was nostalgic, it
was silly, and it served a worthy cause.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
So I love that coolun.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Do you feel like we're too old to play?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
No, it's gonna say I feel like we play all
the time. Sometimes we play more than we work, which
you know. Then I look at him like, oh, hey,
we goofed around all day. I probably should have got
some work done first. So yeah, all work and no
play is not good. But all play and no work
also not good. Find a balance no matter what your age,

(03:44):
Gwyneth Paltrow's relationship with Luke Wilson tends to get overshadowed
by the fact that she dated Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck,
but her one year romance with the Royal Tenet Moom
Co star was not an insignificant chapter of her life.
There's a new book called Gwyneth the Biography, and they
talk about that in that book, and more than three
decades after Missus Doubtfire hit theaters, one of its stars
(04:06):
is dreaming up a way to honor the film's late
and legendary lead, Robin Williams. Matthew Lawrence, who played one
of the kids Love Him Me Too. He revealed that
he would love to see his voice brought back to
life through AI with the support of the actor's family.
So he's working on a project. Yeah, I don't know
how I feel about all that. And Fox will keep
(04:27):
it simple with their fall schedule. For their premieres, The
network will roll out all of its entertainment lineup in
the second half of September, with every show debuting in
its regular time slot. So sometimes they do like special
Oh hey, it's you know, six episodes all in one night.
They're like, now, we're going to just do what we're
going to do. So they've got a whole list of
things if you're interested, it's in the show notes for

that octopuses don't have tentacles?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Octopuses?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's what it says on here sounds. I thought it
was octopi, but.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
We've always said octopi, But I know that's not.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
How about this, Heidi, did you know an octopus does
not have any tentacles?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
They have eight limbs, but they're not tentacles. They're arms. Technically,
when talking about a celepod, octopus, squid, whatnot, scientists define
tentacles as limbs with suckers at the end. Octopus arms
have suckers down the arm, not at the end. Okay,
so yeah, that's the difference apparently. Okay, thanks Charlie. No, yeah,
(06:02):
we don't know everything, but now we know this.

Well, these are I've got something for the next couple
of days that are just kind of lame, but I'm
gonna go ahead and do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And I noticed that you do these because you think
it's gonna make me laugh. They usually do, and I
usually did.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
What was the American colonist's favorite drink?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Liberty? Uh, liberty so stupid.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I give this.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
It's a C.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's not a fail, it's not an A. It's definitely
not to be. But I'll go with the seat. I'll
give you a CE on that one, and we'll see
what we have for the rest of the week. That
is your joke of the day with John and Heidi.
Speaker 2 (06:57):

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Time out for the scoop of the day. Did you
know that International Clownweek started on Friday and so this
clownweek is going on?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Another that did not show up on my list?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, International Clownweek and some said clown news for Clownweek.
New South Wales mourning the death of Maza the clown.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So I'm not familiar, but that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Nor am I. But I'm just picturing, you know, when
the when they get to the cemetery, imagine how many
people are going to get out of that herse too soon.
I'm so sorry. I feel bit, I shouldn't have said it,
And as soon as I started, you actually finished a sentence.
I knew we're on the page. And last week was
shark week and I looked it up. Sharks kill about
(08:10):
five people on average every year. You know, me cows?
How many people will get killed by cows? Twenty on average?
Why is there no cow Week? And Amazon bought B,
a startup that makes bracelets that basically record everything. It
here is the wearable AI assistant listens to your conversations
around you, not just what you're saying, but anybody around you,
(08:31):
and then uses AI to summarize your day, reminding you
of stuff and offering suggestions through their app.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I did.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
It's not like that at all.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I don't know who needs this. It's fifty dollars to
buy the thing and then twenty dollars a month for
it to do it, says super stupid. And you can
even let it pull info from your emails and calendar,
photos and more to help it keep track of your life.
The idea is to create kind of a searchable memory
on your wrist. Amazon says they're bringing B on board
to make AI even more personal and helpful. B has
(09:03):
no audio storage policy. Uh, they don't. Amazon says that
they care deeply about privacy and they'll work with every
user to give you more control over the acquisition.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Works because in certain states you cannot record people without
letting them know you're recording that.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I don't know. By the way, for those interested in
this option, B can also be used to provide an
analysis of your sweating of your swearing habits as well,
so they say, oh, hey, today you said this many
note words swear. They have a digital sweare draft. If so,
Heidi is going to be broke.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Charging it directly to your credit card.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
That is your scoop of the day on The John

a Ja's case. You can get all of the details

for listening to The John and Heidi Show. Excited a
(09:58):
visit with Kimberly Potts. She is the author of a
new book. It's called It's Almost Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
How three Friends spent two hundred dollars to create the
longest running live action sitcom and history and help build
a network. It's a long title for a very fun
book about a very funny show. It's just an absurd show, though,
but people just love this show.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yes, that's exactly right. They use absurdity to address real issues,
current issues frequently, and I think that's part of their secret. Sauce.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I love the fact that you wrote a book talking
about how these guys couple of friends got together, spent
a couple hundred dollars and they made a show that's
lasted all these years.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Rob mclelhenney, Glenn Howarton and Charlie Day became friends when
they all moved to la They shared the same manager
and they were always complaining to him that they couldn't
find great roles. They weren't getting the amount or kind
of work that they wanted to get. So finally he said,
(11:01):
go make your own thing that you know that's the
best thing you can do. Create what you want. And
they took that to heart, and they had an idea
based on a dream Rob had, and so they got
together with some friends. They used a handheld camcorder boom
(11:21):
mic that they taped to the end of a broomstick
and the rest of the two hundred dollars was spent
on buying pizza for all the friends who helped them
with filming and appeared in the DIY pilot as well,
and that's what they used to take around. Rob McIlhenny
(11:42):
went around to the network with a VHS of the
pilot they made themselves in hand. A lot of them
were interested. Most of them were interested, but FX is
the only one that said, will let you do this
your own way. We won't put a lot of restrictions
on you, and gave them creative control and let them
(12:04):
run the show, which they had no experience doing. They
did not know how to be showrunners or producers, but
they did it and they learned on the job, and
obviously it has worked out very very well for them.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And they were very fresh faces back when this came out.
People maybe had seen them in something, but not certainly
not huge stars. And then along comes Danny DeVito and
you're like, whoa, what in the world's going on? I
know that guy, So how in the world does Danny
DeVito fit into this puzzle?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Well, John Langgrasty, who had just become very recently. The
Affects president at the time worked with Danny at Danny's
television production company, Jersey Television, and they didn't have a
lot of money to spend marketing or budget wise for
Sonny at that time going into their second season. But
(12:53):
John Langras has always been super supportive of the show,
definitely one of their biggest champions. He had this idea
that he knew Danny was interested in doing other projects,
he might be interested in doing. This wacky comedy fit
was his sense of humor, so he approached them. Danny
(13:14):
was interested in hearing more. He kind of pushed it
over the edge that his kids were already huge fans
of the first season of Sonny. He went to Rob
and suggested the idea to him. Rob, Glenn and Charlie
were a little on the fence because they were afraid
that Danny would come in and it would be the
Danny DeVito Show and it would interfere with all the
(13:35):
things that they creatively wanted to do with the series.
But Danny and Rob had a meeting, they clicked. He
joined the show and the rest is literally TV history
and the making of If Danny DeVito wasn't an icon.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
He definitely is now absolutely and Danny Devita was already
a huge star. But the crazy thing is, there are
a generation of people who know him as Frank. They
don't know him from all of the other things. They
know him as Frank from It's Always Sonny in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
They scream at him Frank, you know, they just scream
out Frank at him. A lot of them. It is
a big thing among Sunny fans to get tattoos. A
lot of them have various scenes of Frank's tattoos on
their arms. It is very cool the fan base that
has grown up specifically around Danny in the last twenty years.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I love it. I think your book is going to
do really well because this show has a whole lot
of fans and we are some of those fans. And
I guarantee you people are going to want to know
more about how this whole thing came together. So thank
you for taking the time to put together this really
fun book, and we appreciate you taking the time to
chat with us all about it today. Thank you so much,
Kimberly Potts. It's almost Always Sonny in Philadelphia. The book
(14:51):
is out now. I've got a link to it in
the show. Now it's for today at John anddtheidishow dot com.

for News to Me as we head to the News
to Me newsdesk with Heidi Small.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
This is really this is really kind of funny. For years,
residents of the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn complained that
motorists didn't come to a complete stop at their stop signs.
So in two thousand and seven, the mayor, whose name
was Dave Hylman, came up with a creative solution. He
added a second, smaller octagonal sign underneath each one of
(16:35):
them with different phrases on it, like stop and smell
the roses. So underneath it would just say smell the roses.
And then he had one said stop right there, pilgrim, okay,
and then stop this one I think is really cute.
Stop billion dollar five, like stop hammer time. It's like
(16:56):
that's adorable. And then stop in the name of love. Obviously.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
The Illinois Department of Transportation deemed the science violations of
Federal Uniform Traffic Control Act and threatened to withhold funds
for road projects if the signs weren't removed. Iileman comply,
compiled or complied, but said, I think the government needs
to take itself a little less seriously. And I agree
with that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Was it working though it was working?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
There you go and people were enjoying it, And I
would too. I would pay more attention to stop signs.
If I can say, oh, I wonder which one is
at this stop SIGND, you'd be looking.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
For them, reading the fine print. Okay, now I can.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Go, Yeah, it's adorable. So yeah, that's too bad. But anyways,
that's news to me.

hands free devices to talk on their phone while driving
performed as poorly or even worse than those who were
driving drunk. So this is hands free device people. This
isn't people talking with their hand up to their phone.
I see those even still. I see those a lot,
people holding the phone out in front of their face.

eat them in food.

a listen to this story. World's most premature surviving baby
turns one and sets a new world record.

record that I could get behind. I love this.

and it is something worthy of being noticed.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Molly and Randall Keen from Iowa mark their son Nash
first birthday July fifth of this year. Oh my gosh,
and they weren't just celebrating a one year milestone. They
were celebrating a miracle as well, born in just twenty
one weeks gestation, weighing less than a can of soda,
Nash has now been officially recognized as the world's most
premature surviving baby. They actually affectionately call him Nash Potato Ancony,
(26:10):
Iowa is where they live. The toddler came into the
world one hundred and thirty three days early. His birth
at the University of Iowa's dead Family's Children Hospital was
more than a moment of both fear and hope. For
the care team that marked new frontier in neo natal
medicine and for the family. They've had some heartbreak less
than a year before Nash was born. They lost a
(26:32):
daughter at just eighteen weeks and then when she was
diagnosed with a condition that could lead to premature labor,
they were very concerned. So when Nash was born as
early as Nash was born, it could have been a bad.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Best devastating blow, Oh my god, but she.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Ended up on bed rest and ended up in the
r And when when Nash was born, way way, way early,
everybody pitched in to make sure that this was going
to be okay, and they say it was a new frontier.
We didn't know what the outcome would be. But the
doctors were so excited and now they all got to
celebrate love. It a one year anniversary of this little
baby being born. So there are a lot more details
(27:08):
if you'd like to read them. I'm scrolling through and
there's some images. Some of these are kind of graphic images.
I'm like, gosh, I don't think you needed that picture.

Now surveys and Studies and Sacha study revealed that nearly
half of British adults feel that they've forgotten how to
enjoy play. Yeah, people over the age forty two are
the most affected. To remind everyone that fun is timeless,
a giant ball pit with sixty five thousand red balls
was installed in Manchester, encouraging people to play and laugh
(02:48):
and donate for charity. They say it was nostalgic, it
was silly, and it served a worthy cause.

So I love that coolun.

you know. Then I look at him like, oh, hey,
we goofed around all day. I probably should have got
some work done first. So yeah, all work and no
play is not good. But all play and no work

Gwyneth Paltrow's relationship with Luke Wilson tends to get overshadowed
by the fact that she dated Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck,
but her one year romance with the Royal Tenet Moom
Co star was not an insignificant chapter of her life.
There's a new book called Gwyneth the Biography, and they
talk about that in that book, and more than three
decades after Missus Doubtfire hit theaters, one of its stars
(04:06):
is dreaming up a way to honor the film's late
and legendary lead, Robin Williams. Matthew Lawrence, who played one
of the kids Love Him Me Too. He revealed that
he would love to see his voice brought back to
life through AI with the support of the actor's family.
So he's working on a project. Yeah, I don't know
how I feel about all that. And Fox will keep
(04:27):
it simple with their fall schedule. For their premieres, The
network will roll out all of its entertainment lineup in

that octopuses don't have tentacles?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Octopuses?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's what it says on here sounds. I thought it
was octopi, but.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
We've always said octopi, But I know that's not.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
How about this, Heidi, did you know an octopus does
not have any tentacles?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
They have eight limbs, but they're not tentacles. They're arms. Technically,
when talking about a celepod, octopus, squid, whatnot, scientists define
tentacles as limbs with suckers at the end. Octopus arms
have suckers down the arm, not at the end. Okay,
so yeah, that's the difference apparently. Okay, thanks Charlie. No, yeah,
(06:02):
we don't know everything, but now we know this.

gonna go ahead and do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And I noticed that you do these because you think
it's gonna make me laugh. They usually do, and I
usually did.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
What was the American colonist's favorite drink?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Liberty? Uh, liberty so stupid.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I give this.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
It's a C.

It's not a fail, it's not an A. It's definitely
not to be. But I'll go with the seat. I'll
give you a CE on that one, and we'll see

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Time out for the scoop of the day. Did you
know that International Clownweek started on Friday and so this
clownweek is going on?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Another that did not show up on my list?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, International Clownweek and some said clown news for Clownweek.
New South Wales mourning the death of Maza the clown.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So I'm not familiar, but that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Nor am I. But I'm just picturing, you know, when
the when they get to the cemetery, imagine how many
people are going to get out of that herse too soon.
I'm so sorry. I feel bit, I shouldn't have said it,
And as soon as I started, you actually finished a sentence.
I knew we're on the page. And last week was
shark week and I looked it up. Sharks kill about
(08:10):
five people on average every year. You know, me cows?
How many people will get killed by cows? Twenty on average?
Why is there no cow Week? And Amazon bought B,
a startup that makes bracelets that basically record everything. It
here is the wearable AI assistant listens to your conversations
around you, not just what you're saying, but anybody around you,
(08:31):
and then uses AI to summarize your day, reminding you
of stuff and offering suggestions through their app.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I did.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
It's not like that at all.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I don't know who needs this. It's fifty dollars to
buy the thing and then twenty dollars a month for
it to do it, says super stupid. And you can
even let it pull info from your emails and calendar,
photos and more to help it keep track of your life.
The idea is to create kind of a searchable memory
on your wrist. Amazon says they're bringing B on board
to make AI even more personal and helpful. B has
(09:03):
no audio storage policy. Uh, they don't. Amazon says that
they care deeply about privacy and they'll work with every
user to give you more control over the acquisition.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Works because in certain states you cannot record people without
letting them know you're recording that.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I don't know. By the way, for those interested in
this option, B can also be used to provide an
analysis of your sweating of your swearing habits as well,
so they say, oh, hey, today you said this many
note words swear. They have a digital sweare draft. If so,
Heidi is going to be broke.

for listening to The John and Heidi Show. Excited a
(09:58):
visit with Kimberly Potts. She is the author of a
new book. It's called It's Almost Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
How three Friends spent two hundred dollars to create the
longest running live action sitcom and history and help build
a network. It's a long title for a very fun
book about a very funny show. It's just an absurd show, though,
but people just love this show.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yes, that's exactly right. They use absurdity to address real issues,
current issues frequently, and I think that's part of their secret. Sauce.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I love the fact that you wrote a book talking
about how these guys couple of friends got together, spent
a couple hundred dollars and they made a show that's
lasted all these years.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Rob mclelhenney, Glenn Howarton and Charlie Day became friends when
they all moved to la They shared the same manager
and they were always complaining to him that they couldn't
find great roles. They weren't getting the amount or kind
of work that they wanted to get. So finally he said,
(11:01):
go make your own thing that you know that's the
best thing you can do. Create what you want. And
they took that to heart, and they had an idea
based on a dream Rob had, and so they got
together with some friends. They used a handheld camcorder boom
(11:21):
mic that they taped to the end of a broomstick
and the rest of the two hundred dollars was spent
on buying pizza for all the friends who helped them
with filming and appeared in the DIY pilot as well,
and that's what they used to take around. Rob McIlhenny
(11:42):
went around to the network with a VHS of the
pilot they made themselves in hand. A lot of them
were interested. Most of them were interested, but FX is
the only one that said, will let you do this
your own way. We won't put a lot of restrictions
on you, and gave them creative control and let them
(12:04):
run the show, which they had no experience doing. They
did not know how to be showrunners or producers, but
they did it and they learned on the job, and
obviously it has worked out very very well for them.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And they were very fresh faces back when this came out.
People maybe had seen them in something, but not certainly
not huge stars. And then along comes Danny DeVito and
you're like, whoa, what in the world's going on? I
know that guy, So how in the world does Danny
DeVito fit into this puzzle?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Well, John Langgrasty, who had just become very recently. The
Affects president at the time worked with Danny at Danny's
television production company, Jersey Television, and they didn't have a
lot of money to spend marketing or budget wise for
Sonny at that time going into their second season. But
(12:53):
John Langras has always been super supportive of the show,
definitely one of their biggest champions. He had this idea
that he knew Danny was interested in doing other projects,
he might be interested in doing. This wacky comedy fit
was his sense of humor, so he approached them. Danny
(13:14):
was interested in hearing more. He kind of pushed it
over the edge that his kids were already huge fans
of the first season of Sonny. He went to Rob
and suggested the idea to him. Rob, Glenn and Charlie
were a little on the fence because they were afraid
that Danny would come in and it would be the
Danny DeVito Show and it would interfere with all the
(13:35):
things that they creatively wanted to do with the series.
But Danny and Rob had a meeting, they clicked. He
joined the show and the rest is literally TV history
and the making of If Danny DeVito wasn't an icon.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
He definitely is now absolutely and Danny Devita was already
a huge star. But the crazy thing is, there are
a generation of people who know him as Frank. They
don't know him from all of the other things. They
know him as Frank from It's Always Sonny in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
They scream at him Frank, you know, they just scream
out Frank at him. A lot of them. It is
a big thing among Sunny fans to get tattoos. A
lot of them have various scenes of Frank's tattoos on
their arms. It is very cool the fan base that
has grown up specifically around Danny in the last twenty years.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I love it. I think your book is going to
do really well because this show has a whole lot
of fans and we are some of those fans. And
I guarantee you people are going to want to know
more about how this whole thing came together. So thank
you for taking the time to put together this really
fun book, and we appreciate you taking the time to
chat with us all about it today. Thank you so much,
Kimberly Potts. It's almost Always Sonny in Philadelphia. The book
(14:51):
is out now. I've got a link to it in

for News to Me as we head to the News
to Me newsdesk with Heidi Small.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
This is really this is really kind of funny. For years,
residents of the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn complained that
motorists didn't come to a complete stop at their stop signs.
So in two thousand and seven, the mayor, whose name
was Dave Hylman, came up with a creative solution. He
added a second, smaller octagonal sign underneath each one of
(16:35):
them with different phrases on it, like stop and smell
the roses. So underneath it would just say smell the roses.
And then he had one said stop right there, pilgrim, okay,
and then stop this one I think is really cute.
Stop billion dollar five, like stop hammer time. It's like
(16:56):
that's adorable. And then stop in the name of love. Obviously.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
The Illinois Department of Transportation deemed the science violations of
Federal Uniform Traffic Control Act and threatened to withhold funds
for road projects if the signs weren't removed. Iileman comply,
compiled or complied, but said, I think the government needs
to take itself a little less seriously. And I agree
with that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Was it working though it was working?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
There you go and people were enjoying it, And I
would too. I would pay more attention to stop signs.
If I can say, oh, I wonder which one is
at this stop SIGND, you'd be looking.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
For them, reading the fine print. Okay, now I can.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Go, Yeah, it's adorable. So yeah, that's too bad. But anyways,
that's news to me.

Molly and Randall Keen from Iowa mark their son Nash
first birthday July fifth of this year. Oh my gosh,
and they weren't just celebrating a one year milestone. They
were celebrating a miracle as well, born in just twenty
one weeks gestation, weighing less than a can of soda,
Nash has now been officially recognized as the world's most
premature surviving baby. They actually affectionately call him Nash Potato Ancony,
(26:10):
Iowa is where they live. The toddler came into the
world one hundred and thirty three days early. His birth
at the University of Iowa's dead Family's Children Hospital was
more than a moment of both fear and hope. For
the care team that marked new frontier in neo natal
medicine and for the family. They've had some heartbreak less
than a year before Nash was born. They lost a
(26:32):
daughter at just eighteen weeks and then when she was
diagnosed with a condition that could lead to premature labor,
they were very concerned. So when Nash was born as
early as Nash was born, it could have been a bad.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Best devastating blow, Oh my god, but she.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Ended up on bed rest and ended up in the
r And when when Nash was born, way way, way early,
everybody pitched in to make sure that this was going
to be okay, and they say it was a new frontier.
We didn't know what the outcome would be. But the
doctors were so excited and now they all got to
celebrate love. It a one year anniversary of this little
baby being born. So there are a lot more details
