It's Thursday. My beautiful Brian at my side. Hello Heidi.
How's it going?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello John good?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
How are you good? I'm excited for a Dear John letter?
And this is from a person I know, but it's
still what do we call it when we don't tell
people who is anonymous? That's the thing. I couldn't think
of that word. What do you call it? When I
can't think of words? And me getting old? Yeah, it's anonymous.
So I won't tell anybody who it is. But I
will read the Dear John letter here later in the program,
but I have it posted on our Facebook page now.

(00:46):
It's about a guy who was walking his dog. His
dog did his you know thing, and he bagged it,
and he was carrying the bag and there was a
garbage can, so he threw it in the garbage can.
Then he got yelled at by the guy who lives
in the house where the garbage can was. Yeah, so
anyway we're going, we're talking all about that. You can
chime in with your advice on our Facebook page Facebook

Today is Smarty's Day.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh like those little candy things. Yeah, you just tried
to give me some of those a week ago. Smart
How many did I take?

Speaker 3 (01:34):
None?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Exactly? I said, I'm smart enough to think you.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
And I found a drink called a Smartini.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
That sounds very cute.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
It's got vodka, white cram to cocow cane syrup and
orange bitters.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
All right, there's a lot going on there.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:51):

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Surveys and studies and such. A new University of Illinois
study found that students eat significantly more fruits and vegetables
when they have longer seated lunch periods. While many school
schedule twenty minutes for lunch, in reality, lines shared recess
breaks and delays often leave kids with really about ten
minutes to actually eat. Researchers compared ten minute versus twenty

(02:51):
minute eating sessions, and they found kids consistently skip the
fruits and veggies when they're rushed, but they're more likely
to focus on downing their entrees and drink at that time.
Researchers say giving kids an actual twenty minute window of
seated time encourages healthier eating, especially for low income students.
And it also gives them more chances to develop their

(03:11):
social skills.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
So I think we should have a longer class.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Was lung Oh me too. Sometimes I'd do it two
three times in a day.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I was so good at it.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I aced lunch. What was your favorite? Was there a
meal that was your favorite school lunch meal?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Everybody loved the pizza.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
There was a thing in my school called chili crespitos.
I loved those so much.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Our school, actually, the last few years of my high
school time, we ended up with a salad bar. And
that salad bar was so good, and the French dressing
was awesome.

Speaker 2 (03:45):

(10:16):
Time Now for.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Dear dear John letters.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
You wake over there, I'm on the same page. Now
here we go, Dear John. So, I was on a
walk with my dog and my girlfriend last week. I
was four or five blocks from my house and I
had several more to walk my dog. It says something
I'm not going to read on the rail, which you say.
Did his thing? Sure, and I bagged it. I don't

(10:46):
use plastic, I use biodegradable bags. After I picked it up,
I noticed a garbage can like five feet from where
my dog was. Granted it wasn't on the curb, it
was next to this guy's driveway. I guess I was
in the wrong for throwing my litter because as soon
as I did, the man came out, opened his garage door,
rushed out to confront me, and asked why I threw
it away in his trash. I said, well, I'm several

(11:08):
blocks from home. I didn't want to carry it. I
was five feet from where that was. I can tell
this guy's mad. I should have just kept walking and
ignored him, but he said he didn't care and if
he did not want me using his trash, I told him.
It's not that big of a deal, you know, just
be neighborly. It's better than littering anyway. This guy gets
so mad about something so small. Then he acts big

(11:28):
and tries to fight me by telling me come over
here and say that to my face. He's next to
the garage. I'm out on the sidewalk. I just turn
and walk away. I guess I won't be using his
garbage ever again. I've been walking past this guy's house
since I was five years old. He's right by the school.
I've been walking by his house for twenty four years.
It doesn't seem very neighborly or friendly. I live in

(11:50):
the same neighborhood. I pick up litter on my boulevard
all the time. Was it wrong to use his trash can?
What should I have said to him? Signed baffled by this?
So I'm gonna let Heidi say what. I think.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
You're seriously baffled by this.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
It's disgusting if his garbage had just been picked up.
Now your dog mess is sitting in the bottom of
his garbage can until next week when the garbage comes
back again and it's stinking up.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yes, I was gonna say I wonder.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
And I was so upset. It was I I The
garbage men had just left. I went out to bring
the garbage cans into the garage and there was a
bag of dog mess in the bottom of the garbage can.
I had to use your grilling tongues to pull it out.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
At the bottom of it.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Don't worry, I scrubbed it up really good with your toothbrush.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I sure hope you're kidding about all that. Oh my goodness.
Here's the thing. I don't know if she's kidding. Here's
the thing. This wild. I know this guy and he doesn't.
It's not him. This isn't in our neighborhood. I know
this guy and a lot of the people because he
also posted this on Facebook, and a lot of the
people were It was like fifty to fifty. There are

(13:04):
people going, why would use somebody else's garbage can? There's
others going as garbage, it's just garbage. I'm on the
side of a get home. Well that would have been best,
but at least you picked it up, because well you have.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
To pick it up. Well, but take it home. You
don't just throw it in somebody else's can. That's nasty.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Do you see people who just let it go and
they don't pick it up, because I see that all
the time. And we've had Dear John letters of a
certain person doing this for years. And then the guy
said he started collecting it and he threw it all
in that guy's yard. So I remember that Dear John
letter from a few years ago. So I'm just saying,
you know, at the end of the day, I'm glad
that the.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Two wrongs don't make it right.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
I'm not saying, and you don't pay for that garbage service,
do you have no right to throw anything in that
man's garbage? Okay, if you want the responsibility of owning
a pet, and then you're responsible for taking care of
that pet and for disposing of that pet's waste at
your own property. Yes, again, whatever grilling tongues, that's all
I'm saying. So if you're okay with that, then we'll

(14:05):
just keep moving.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Just read the questions. Yet two questions, Heidi, was it
wrong to use his trash can? Overwhelmingly, Heidi thinks yes.
Now here's the one I'm more interested in. What should
he have said when the guy said come over here
and say that to my face, he just turned around,
walked away. I think that was the right answer. Should
he have said walked over and said something to his face.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
He should have said, I'm really sorry, I'll take it
out of the canon. I'll take it home.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
That's okay. There you go. Well see, at least you
stayed on the right side of that. I thought you
were going to say he should have had a little
fisticuffs and.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Like a no, but that old guy had every right
to drop him on the pavement.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
All right, Well, there you go. What what do you
think you can chine in with your advice. I've got
this letter. It's been on our Facebook page for a

Time now for the movie quote of the day. You're
gonna get this one right. I don't even need to
tell you the year, but it was nineteen eighty seven,
but I just don't know where I would throw that
otherwise nobody puts baby in a corner.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Dirty Dancing, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Patrick Swayze said that that movie almost didn't get made
is such a great there's a thing on Netflix. So
it was like how the movies were made something like that. Anyway,
that movie, I think they pulled the script out of
a dumpster or something. Anyway, like it almost didn't get made,
but it did.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
An excellent movie.

Speaker 2 (16:06):

Time now for News to Me as we head to
the News to Me newsdesk with Heidi small Wing.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
To continue on with some more ways to be happy
this time of year. To be happy, Embrace your pessimism.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Oh, Pessimism is a survival instinct that kept in that
kept prehistoric ancestors prepared for bad weather and anticipated wolf attacks.
Acknowledging your problem gives you power, but trying to hide
from your problems gives it power.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Heidi is very pessimistic.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I am a realist, like a cave man.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
You'd be like, don't go hunt. You're not gonna catch
anything anyway.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Just stay I think anticipating wolf attacks isn't pessimism.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's what I do. I anticipate the wolf.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Attacks every day. Every day. She's just talking about how
everything's gonna go wrong. Meanwhile, I'm like, everything's gonna be amazing,
and then it lands somewhere in.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
The next thing is listen to what you say about yourself.
Do not think negative thoughts about yourself because that brings
those into reality.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Be positive all the time and be your own friend.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yes, you have to love.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Yourself before anybody else can love you. Keep a journal,
don't sweat the small stuff. Let bygones be bygones, and
shed the external toxins. So anything that you're doing that
is is slowing your body down.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Get rid of them.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
I got rid of about twenty of those on Facebook
the other day. So oh yeah, So anyways, some toxic people.

Speaker 3 (17:55):

Fun fact for your heide John. Until twenty fifteen, it
was illegal to dance in Japan after midnight?

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 2 (18:41):
I wonder why that would be? That is very bizarre,
crazy fun factor you, Heide. You can be ruled to
lose a chess match if you show too much cleavage.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Because you're trying to distract your opponent.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, so I wonder if that I was gonna just say,
I wonder if that goes both ways. If I'm wearing
like a V neck shirt, like, okay, you're just call
a why because I see too much cleavda? I suppose
it would only be fair, It would have to fun
fact for you. John Levi Strauss named his invention waste
overalls in eighteen seventy three. The name blue jeans didn't
catch on until the mid nineteen sixties. Yeah, so up

(19:16):
until that point, were we were wearing waste over We
were not wearing blue jeans. And we'll do one more
fun fact for you, Heidi. Humans share fifty percent of
their DNA with bananas. How did you know that?

(22:33):
you got for me?

Speaker 3 (22:34):
I've got another thrift store? Fine, all right.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
A retired man spent thirty dollars on a handbag at
a thrift store and he liked it was constructed from
the print featuring a campy image of Elvis Presley done
in pop art style that reminded him of and Andy Warhol.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, Thinking it.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Might be worth a little more than the thirty dollars,
he took it to a ladies boutique in London to
have it looked at. His find was the real deal,
one of only ten ever produced, and it was sold
at an auction for little over five hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
That is a wild for a.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
Thirty dollars purchase, and he used that money to help
his partner open a hair salon.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
That is awesome. Yeah, cool thing.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah, that's pretty great. Is I love Andy Warhol's stuff.
I would have been all over that bag, So that's
pretty cool.

Time. Now for the list. We went through some of
these yesterday and I posted all of them yesterday, and
I post all of them again today. I always do that.
I want you to have the whole list, even if
I don't have time to read them all here. But
I have all of these in the show notes for today,
every day phrases that came from old jobs. So we're
going to go to this one, pulling strings. You ever
heard somebody say I'm going to pull some strings. That
it's from puppetry, where pulling strings makes the puppet move.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm gonna do this by the book. Can't go We
got to do it by the book. That's from legal
clerks following rule books. Okay, the rule of thumb carpenters
using their thumb for rough measure measurements. Now I heard
a different thing. I was told that there was a
rule of thumb where you could hit your wife with
a rod that had to be smaller than your thumb.
I'm not making this up that I read that, but
it was on the internet. So I'll go with this one.

(24:56):
This one's way better hold your horses. This is from
horsemen telling their riders to wait full steam ahead steamships
moving at top power under the weather. Sailors went below
deck when they were sick. That's why they would go
under deck when they were sick. Caught red handed was
from old laws where poachers had blood literally on their

(25:17):
hands from taking like stealing the animals. Red tape government
offices literally trying tying documents with red ribbon, so they
would put ribbons around it. And this is where they
had to cut it to get in. They'd cut the
red tape, bite the bullet. Before there was like medical
things to keep you from feeling pain and hands down

(25:37):
from horse racing. When a jockey won so easily he
could literally take his hands off the horse and just
gallop across. So there you go, all of those in
the show notes for today at John anddeidishow dot com show.
Thank you for listening to The John and Heidi Show.

to wrap things up round here with good news, and
I think this is a really cool story from just
outside of Washington, DC. A stranger runs into a burning
senior apartment building and saves a woman's life. She was bedridden.
Oh couldn't get up and leave. Zachary Battle spotted smoke

(26:20):
pouring from a senior apartment complex. He didn't hesitate. Instead
of just driving past, he thought, I gotta go make
sure everybody's okay. Pulled over. He ran inside, determined to help,
and he says, I'm turning right here, I see smoke
coming out of the building. He was in front of
the building doing an interview with the news crew, but
he goes. He said he heard somebody crying for help

(26:41):
and there was a man asking for help. His wife
was bedridden stuck in the house. This guy needed help,
he couldn't help, or he's an elderly gentleman said I hurt.
A guy said yes, I'll come and help. Pushed through
the smoke, found the woman in the bed, and he
was like, bro, we got to get her out of here.
It's smoky. You know, I'd rather be in pain than
not have her life. I did not have her life today.

(27:02):
So the elderly gentleman helped, even though he was struggling.
The two of them got her out of the home,
and again, without that, she might not have made it
because of smoke and fire itself. Yeah, so hero, he said.
If it wasn't for this guy, yeah, I don't know. Man.
If it wasn't for Zach here, I'm pretty sure I
would have lost my wife. I've got a link to

the details in the show notes for today at johnandeidishow
