Speaker 4 (01:31):
Today?
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Is Angel food Cake Day. I love angel food cake.
And the first thing you think of with angel foodcake,
at least for me, is strawberry shortcake. I love just shortcake.
And I found a strawberry shortcake cocktail.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
It takes frozen strawberries, Amoretta LaCour, vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract,
vanilla vodka, and then cool whip and then thank you
for the little skewers on the side. It's got Angel
food cake strawberries on these little skewers. Oh my gosh,

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Now surveys and studies and such without getting all morbid
on you, have you made plans for your funeral? According
to a new survey, two thirds of us have at
least thought about our funeral. Seven hundred and fifty dolts
in The poll, split evenly between singles and engaged and
married respondents, shows many have already made choices like their
burial preference in their music selections, while seventeen percent said
(03:02):
they think about death daily. Wow Wow, still, conversations about
end of life planning remain rare. Topics like funerals, estate plans,
inheritance considered difficult to discuss, and almost half said they
won't ask loved ones what items they might want to inherit.
Two thirds say they haven't created an estate plan. Other
surveys find survey findings Rather, thirty six percent made an
(03:26):
estate plan or planned to within the next five years,
twenty eight do not plan to make one at all.
Thirty eight percent said they don't have enough assets to
worry about it, and fifty two percent who have plans
cite peace of mind is the reason they made those plans.
My wife, Heidi over here, has a book that says
I'm dead. He's now what, I'm dead? Now what? Yeah,
And I'm supposed to go through that. Many of the
things that you put in there are ridiculous. I said,
(03:47):
I'm going to need that in your handwriting. I don't
want anybody thinking I came up with this plan.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
No, no, no, it's all in my handwriting, and it's all
what I do want. But no, we don't have estate
plans and still place we need to.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You're going to get it all excit. I got to
find out which one of our kids we're gonna sattle
with all of our bills, surveys and studies and such.

little screen. Two superstars with a massive social media following
(04:27):
have duked it out at the box office. Taylor Swift
five hundred and forty eight million, Duayanne the Rock Johnson
five hundred and sixty two million. As far as followers
on the old Internet, who do you think one with
a showdown?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Probably The Rock?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No, Taylor Swift actually really yeah? Thirty three million domestically
over the weekend, while The Rock came in at six
point two million. So thirty three million compared to six
point two That is the lowest opening he's ever had
in his career as a leading man. By the way,
so his news she's doing movies now, well, it's it's
called Taylor Swift the official release party of a Showgirl.
(05:02):
And then his is called The Smashing Machine and apparently
it did not do well. Fans of the Archie comics
are going to be super excited because they've got a
new TV adaptation coming out with Disney Plus, so that's
kind of cool. And then Candace Cameron Beret has a
lot of titles like actress and producer and podcast host
(05:26):
and mother, but she's super excited about one more that
she's hoping to add soon, Grandma. She says, here's I
think this is funny. She revealed on Instagram that she
wants her grandkids to call her Candy Graham Candy. Some can't.
My name is Candy Candace, and I'll be a grandma,
so I want to be Candy Graham. Her response from
her kids, they said, Mom, that's so dumb. Book kids

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Heidi, did you know that Zerix, Switzerland residents have voted
to ban gas power leaf blowers and vacuums, citing noise
and air pollution. Electric devices will still be allowed, but
their use is also limited to October, November and December,
so you can't use a leaf blower outside of those times.
I would be in there.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Oh my gosh, you would you love your leaf The.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Move upheld by more than sixty one percent of voters,
came after some parties tried to overturn a previous band.
Switzerland's direct democracy system allows citizens to trigger referendums such
as this one if enough signatures are collected. So, yeah,
I use a leafblower to blow like grasshow off the.
Speaker 5 (07:00):

Time now for the joke of the day with my
beautiful bride, Heidi, What you got from me there?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Hiding therapist said, your wife says that you don't buy
her flowers. Husband said, to be honest, I didn't know
she sold flowers.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You don't buy her flowers. Ah, that's good, that's very good.
All right. That is the joke of the day with
my beautiful bride, Heidi Small right here on the John
and Heidie Show.
Speaker 8 (08:00):

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Time Now for the scoop of the day. Did you
know that beavers do not actually live in beaver dams? Technically,
beavers live in a lodge that they build behind great
within a deep pool of water, So they have their otle,
their own little place. So that's kind of cool. And uh,
could it be that the so called Golden age for
(08:52):
service providers is almost done of them getting consumers to
sign on for what once seemed like an unlimited number
of months lease subscription fees. Maybe so. According to a
survey in the United States, households are cutting back sharply
on subscriptions, trimming an average of four point one services
in twenty twenty four to just two point eight services
(09:14):
in twenty twenty five. According to research by self Financial,
rising costs are the main driver, with price hikes from
places like Disney Plus and Hulu Paramount Plus and Apple
TV Plus, pushing many to cancel their services. Nearly half
of subscribers say they would not tolerate further increases, and
convenience is no longer enough to justify subscriptions.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Well, and there's not even convenience anymore, because now they're
all full of ads, and like the whole reason to
pay for them was no commercials.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Password sharing crackdowns have backfired, with many turning to piracy
instead of paying. Despite cutbacks, households still spend about one
hundred and twenty seven dollars a year on unused services,
often a result of forgetting you had a free trial
and then all of a sudden it's no longer free.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Popular services at risk include Apple TV Plus, Stars, ESPN Plus,
while food delivery apps like caviaar grub hubs see high
rates of non use. Consumers say they're embracing more deliberate,
value focused subscriptions and choices. I'm gonna say this with
my last ten seconds or so, we no longer subscribe
to any of the services other than Prime, and because
(10:23):
that's tied to other things, So and I used to
call it Amazon Prime. Now they call it Prime video.
It's still Amazon, but if there's something we want to
see on Netflix, we will literally rent that for one
month and then cancel right away and you have a
whole month to watch it. And I will not stop
doing that, and if they make that impossible, I'll just
quit watching it completely. That is your scoop of the
(10:44):
day on The John and Heidi Show.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
The Heidie Show.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Thank you so much for listening to The John and
Heidi Show. Brought to you in part by jscasemedical dot com.

Thank you for listening to The John and Heidie Show
on a Friday. Excited to visit with Brian Boone from
Uncle John's Bathroom Reader And the latest edition is out
(11:07):
right now, and this looks really really good. I had
it for a moment then my wife took it away
from me. But this book looks fantastic.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Well, thank you very much. Yeah, we're pleased with it.
It's very retro but very new and now I'll like
it a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I've been a fan of the Uncle John Bathroom Reader
for many, many, many years, but for anybody listening that
might be unfamiliar with what you guys do. Let's explain
what you do and why you do it.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, you know, it started off when our original uncle, John,
our founder, is a trivia writer named John, and he
found himself in a bathroom at a friend's house with
nothing to read. And he figured, well, you know, this
is probably a common problem that people get stuck somewhere,
you know, not just a bathroom, but just somewhere with
nothing to do, and maybe they want to be entertained
(11:49):
or maybe even learn something. And so we put together
these books of short trivia. You know, we've got everything
from you know, one line at the bottom of the
page of fun facts you can just flip through and read,
or we've got articles of various lengths, and it's just
a little something for everybody. There's history, there's origins, word origins,
you know, funny funny word play, you know, stories from
(12:13):
movies and TV. A lot of science, a lot of
like how everyday stuff works, geography, history, So there's just
a little something for everybody. You can just flip open
at random and learn something in an entertaining way.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And kids before everybody carried a smartphone with them. We
would read these things called books, and I know a
lot of people still do read books, which is a
good thing. And you don't have to read this in
the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh absolutely yeah. I throw mine in my car. If
I'm ever stuck in line or something, I pick up
a bathroom reader, or pick up a bathroom reader research
material and just entertain myself that way. We used to
be bored, and we used to fill in that time
with reading actual books.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's true, and I've done that same thing. I'll have
a copy of this in my car, and if I
get to an appointment early, instead of going in and
sitting in their waiting room just staring at the wall,
I'll kind of flip through this. Then I have something
fun to share with them when I walk in as well.
So by reading this, you'll be the most interesting person
at every party you go to.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Well, that's fantastic. That is the highest praise. And I
think you're right. You learn something. I'm constantly you know
able to drop some knowledge into a conversation, and I
love to hear knowledge from other people, and this is
a This is a good way to do it, and
you acquire knowledge that you never would have acquired elsewhere.
So it's a lovely thing.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And we got to talk about the latest edition that's
out right now, the thirty eighth annual Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.
This one's called No It All. What are some things
we'll find in this book?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I think one of my favorites is it's called The
Science of Comic Book Junk. And I was just you know, looking,
you know, thinking of stories to write about it. And
I often go back to, you know, childhood and what
mystified me when I was a kid, and part of
that was because the junk that they sold in the
back of comic books and kids magazines and stuff like that,
like sea monkeys and voice throwers, extra respects. So I
(14:01):
dove deep and I found out the actual science behind
what some of this stuff was and how it actually worked,
and it was fascinating and also disheartening. But I'm also
glad that I never spent my money on X ray spects,
because do you remember those, Like, you know, they looked
all swirly at everything and you put them on and
you could suposedly see through your hand or you know,
see under people's clothes and things like that.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, I remember the ad, but I never owned a
pair of My mom always said no.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
So what they were is there are fake lenses that
were made of two pieces of thin paperboard glued together
with a tiny hole cut all the way in the center,
and then they would embed a bird feather into each hole.
And so as you looked at objects or people through
the holes, the thin veins and the feathers would diffract light,
and so it would make the image appear opposite and
(14:49):
slightly overlapping in gray. And so would you hold your
hand up, say, and you'd see your dark hand with
a light colored barrier. So it was just an optical
illusion of penetrated vision. You can't really see your bones
through them. It was just it was a very cheap
optical illusion.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, now I'm really glad my mom didn't let me
buy those. And Brian, the book is out now, know
it all. It's a thirty eighth annual Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.
And it's kind of available pretty much everywhere, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
We try to get it everywhere. You can find it
in your favorite bookstore, Indie, org, Shade, we're at Amazon,
We're at portablepress dot com, and you can you can
find it there, and you know, and most of our
back catalog of thirty seven ors, so pretty much anywhere
you want a book to look for some the trivia
or the humor section.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Brian, thanks for taking the time to chat with us,
and thank you for doing what you do. I don't
know if you can tell by talking to me, but
I'm a big fan of these books and I think
they're just so much fun. So thanks again for doing this.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Well, thank you so much. I can hear you smiling,
and that's that's that's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (15:48):

Doctor Rumak also known as Leslie Nielsen. You know that
was his first comedy movie.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I do know.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
He was a very was a brilliant actor.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Very serious actor up until that point.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
One of my then favorite actors.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Once that movie came out, he didn't I don't think
he did another serious roll after that. Everything he did
after that was comedy, brilliant comedy. He was such a
funny guy. And kids, if you don't know who Leslie
Nielsen is, first of all, you talk to your mom
and dad and you say, uncle John tells me you
did a bad job raising me. Just kidding, don't say that,
but you do need to see some of his work
(17:18):
because he is so so funny. That is your movie
quote of the day on the John and Heidi.

News to Me as we head to the News to
Me newsdesk with Heidi Small, This is fascinating. What's not.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Tippy Heedron, who is the actress in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. Yeah,
she would help out at refugee camps in northern California.
Okay at that time, it was when all of the
Vietnamese refugees were coming into you country. She at this
one camp that she worked at, so many women complimented
her on her beautiful nails that she had her personal
(18:09):
manicurist flown in from Beverly Hills to the camp to
do their nails and to teach them how to do
Hollywood worthy manicures. Those women dispersed throughout the country, got
their nail technician licenses with Hedron's help, and open salon
businesses in Strip malls. By the mid eighties, owning or
(18:31):
working in a nail salon became quintessential part of being
a Vietnamese American woman and now even still today. Yeah,
fifty percent of nail salon owners are Vietnamese. And because
it's because of Tippy Hedron, isn't bad? Is that fascinating?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
That is fantastic.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I love that, Heidi.
Speaker 5 (18:48):

Fun fact for you, Heidi. Even if you're super super

lips will not sweat. I've never thought about that.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Your upper lip does.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, that's the above your lip, but your lip itself
no sweat. There you go. Fun fact for the singer
known as meat Loaf.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, I loved him.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Was a vegetarian, I did, yeah so, but he kept
the name meat Loaf even though he became a vegetarian.
How about this one fun fact for you, Heidi John.
A hippopotamus cannot swim. No, but it is big andoyant
and simply hops along the river floor and it just
bobs up and down. Interesting, but it does not swim.
(20:06):
I kind of do a movie.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Those things are not friendly.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
No, they're not. Do not try to pet a hippo.
And we'll do one more fun fact for you, Heidi John.
Spiders never sleep. Yeah, so if you didn't like spiders before,

Time now for some weird news. Chinese researchers say they've
created a groundbreaking super glue for bones that could heal
(20:47):
fractures and minutes rather than months. Yeah. Developed at a
university in China, the adhesive, called bone two, has already
been tested successfully in more than one hundred and fifty cases.
Inspired by oysters who have the ability to cling to
wet wet surfaces and they can shift from surface to surface,
scientists engineered a bio glue that fuses bone fragments with
(21:11):
a single injection, bonding them in just three minutes and
avoiding complicated surgeries to install metal plates and screws. In addition,
Bone two is absorbed naturally by the body, elimiting the
need for a follow up surgery.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Holy cat.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
So it's patented in China and abroad. Experts caution more
clinical trials are needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
So that's super cool.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, I've I probably shouldn't even say this out loud,
that I've never officially broken a bone. Well yeah, so
I think I did.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
And I just walked it off.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
But anyway, for those of you who have broke a bone,
you know how cool it would be to not have
a cast like that would be? Yeah, weird news right
here on the John and Heidi show.

for you, Heidi. The average household replaces this item every
ten years.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
What is it every ten years?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I don't know. I think we've replaced ours more frequently
than this.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Vacuum cleaner, yeah, yeah, okay. I had a shop back
that I got rid of, and I have a really

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Being the president of the United States is not a
job that I would want, No me neither. It's a
thankless job, and it is a lot of work. But
there's a few I have several days worth of quotes
from presidents just about that exact same thing.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Bill Clinton said being president is like running a cemetery.
You've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening.
Richard Nixon said scrubbing floors and emptying bedpans has as
much dignity as the presidency.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
And the last one for day is Jimmy Carter. My
esteem in this country has gone up substantially. It's very
nice now when people wave at me, they use all
of their fingers. Oh yeah, that was him after president Yea, yeah,
it is sad, it is, yeah, because there should be
a lot more respect for that office.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Thomas Jefferson. He was a president. On his tombstone, he
didn't even list that. He listed everything else, didn't even
listen that he was a president. Yeah, well that is cool,
Thank you. There's something special from Heidi Small.

Time now for the list. It is officially fall It
has been for like a week, maybe two weeks. How
long has it been falling? It seems like forever, but
it's been going on for a bit. So here's some
things on the list that we can all look forward to.
This is, according to people on the internet, seasonal flavors.
It's one of the things people said they really looked
forward to once fall gets here, which it is now.
Fall flavors like pumpkin spice, apple, cinnamon, caramel, local options,
(25:13):
coffee shops, apple orchards, punkin patches, farmers markets, all that stuff.
Another one outdoor activities. Fall is ideal for things like
hiking and camping, bonfires and corn mazes. Another thing that
people really like clothing and fashion trends. Cooler weather brings sweaters.
I was looking for my sweaters. I don't know where
they are. I have to look and.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
See they're probably on top of the shelf.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, I have to look for him. And then boots
is the other thing. Friday night lights. Yeah, high school
football is synonymous with this time of year. And then movies,
all the cool fall movie releases. So there's a whole big,
long list of them here that came out in the
fall and anyway, and there's a bunch that are coming
out right now. So all of those fun things on
(25:55):
the list. In the show notes for today at John

(26:17):
We always like to wrap things up rout here with
good news, and I think this is good news. She
walked outside, expecting an ordinary afternoon. Instead, she was handed
the keys to a whole new life. This happened in Georgia,
where the Flowery Branch High School community came together in
a powerful display of compassion this week, rallying to support
a beloved staff member who was facing some tough times.
(26:40):
Miss Lenn serves as a school's parking lot security guard.
She's been struggling financially. When her car became unsafe to drive.
The principal stepped in and offered to buy her a
new tire out of his own pocket. Well, that small
act of kindness quickly grew into something much bigger. Christian
Brothers Auto of Flowery Branch heard about Miss Len's situation
(27:00):
decided we don't want to repair this car. Instead, let's
get her a different car. So they gave her a
twenty fourteen Nissan Ultima with a brand new transmission. Students
from the STEM program and the TSA program detailed the car,
got it all cleaned up and looking spiffy. The school's
work based Learning team worked with local businesses to cover
the registration costs, and thanks to their efforts, Miss Lenn
(27:22):
received this vehicle at no expense to her. After the
school buses pulled out for the day, student staff and
community partners all showed up to surprise Miss Lenn with
the keys to her new car.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
That's so great this.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
As we are proud of Flowery Branch High School for
leading with compassion, grateful to Christian Brothers Automotive for their generosity,
and inspired by a community that shows what it means
to live out our vision each day. That's what the
school district shared. I've got a link to this story
if you'd like to see it. And I think that's
really cool. That is really really cool. It's in the

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Now surveys and studies and such without getting all morbid
on you, have you made plans for your funeral? According
to a new survey, two thirds of us have at
least thought about our funeral. Seven hundred and fifty dolts
in The poll, split evenly between singles and engaged and
married respondents, shows many have already made choices like their
burial preference in their music selections, while seventeen percent said
(03:02):
they think about death daily. Wow Wow, still, conversations about
end of life planning remain rare. Topics like funerals, estate plans,
inheritance considered difficult to discuss, and almost half said they
won't ask loved ones what items they might want to inherit.
Two thirds say they haven't created an estate plan. Other
surveys find survey findings Rather, thirty six percent made an
(03:26):
estate plan or planned to within the next five years,
twenty eight do not plan to make one at all.
Thirty eight percent said they don't have enough assets to
worry about it, and fifty two percent who have plans
cite peace of mind is the reason they made those plans.
My wife, Heidi over here, has a book that says
I'm dead. He's now what, I'm dead? Now what? Yeah,
And I'm supposed to go through that. Many of the
things that you put in there are ridiculous. I said,
(03:47):
I'm going to need that in your handwriting. I don't
want anybody thinking I came up with this plan.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
No, no, no, it's all in my handwriting, and it's all
what I do want. But no, we don't have estate
plans and still place we need to.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You're going to get it all excit. I got to
find out which one of our kids we're gonna sattle

(04:27):
have duked it out at the box office. Taylor Swift
five hundred and forty eight million, Duayanne the Rock Johnson
five hundred and sixty two million. As far as followers
on the old Internet, who do you think one with
a showdown?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Probably The Rock?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No, Taylor Swift actually really yeah? Thirty three million domestically
over the weekend, while The Rock came in at six
point two million. So thirty three million compared to six
point two That is the lowest opening he's ever had
in his career as a leading man. By the way,
so his news she's doing movies now, well, it's it's
called Taylor Swift the official release party of a Showgirl.
(05:02):
And then his is called The Smashing Machine and apparently
it did not do well. Fans of the Archie comics
are going to be super excited because they've got a
new TV adaptation coming out with Disney Plus, so that's
kind of cool. And then Candace Cameron Beret has a
lot of titles like actress and producer and podcast host
(05:26):
and mother, but she's super excited about one more that
she's hoping to add soon, Grandma. She says, here's I
think this is funny. She revealed on Instagram that she
wants her grandkids to call her Candy Graham Candy. Some can't.
My name is Candy Candace, and I'll be a grandma,
so I want to be Candy Graham. Her response from
her kids, they said, Mom, that's so dumb. Book kids

Heidi, did you know that Zerix, Switzerland residents have voted
to ban gas power leaf blowers and vacuums, citing noise
and air pollution. Electric devices will still be allowed, but
their use is also limited to October, November and December,
so you can't use a leaf blower outside of those times.
I would be in there.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Oh my gosh, you would you love your leaf The.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Move upheld by more than sixty one percent of voters,
came after some parties tried to overturn a previous band.
Switzerland's direct democracy system allows citizens to trigger referendums such
as this one if enough signatures are collected. So, yeah,
I use a leafblower to blow like grasshow off the.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Side, I will use it for literally anything.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Hiding therapist said, your wife says that you don't buy
her flowers. Husband said, to be honest, I didn't know
she sold flowers.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You don't buy her flowers. Ah, that's good, that's very good.
All right. That is the joke of the day with
my beautiful bride, Heidi Small right here on the John

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Time Now for the scoop of the day. Did you
know that beavers do not actually live in beaver dams? Technically,
beavers live in a lodge that they build behind great
within a deep pool of water, So they have their otle,
their own little place. So that's kind of cool. And uh,
could it be that the so called Golden age for
(08:52):
service providers is almost done of them getting consumers to
sign on for what once seemed like an unlimited number
of months lease subscription fees. Maybe so. According to a
survey in the United States, households are cutting back sharply
on subscriptions, trimming an average of four point one services
in twenty twenty four to just two point eight services
(09:14):
in twenty twenty five. According to research by self Financial,
rising costs are the main driver, with price hikes from
places like Disney Plus and Hulu Paramount Plus and Apple
TV Plus, pushing many to cancel their services. Nearly half
of subscribers say they would not tolerate further increases, and
convenience is no longer enough to justify subscriptions.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Well, and there's not even convenience anymore, because now they're
all full of ads, and like the whole reason to
pay for them was no commercials.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Password sharing crackdowns have backfired, with many turning to piracy
instead of paying. Despite cutbacks, households still spend about one
hundred and twenty seven dollars a year on unused services,
often a result of forgetting you had a free trial
and then all of a sudden it's no longer free.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Popular services at risk include Apple TV Plus, Stars, ESPN Plus,
while food delivery apps like caviaar grub hubs see high
rates of non use. Consumers say they're embracing more deliberate,
value focused subscriptions and choices. I'm gonna say this with
my last ten seconds or so, we no longer subscribe
to any of the services other than Prime, and because
(10:23):
that's tied to other things, So and I used to
call it Amazon Prime. Now they call it Prime video.
It's still Amazon, but if there's something we want to
see on Netflix, we will literally rent that for one
month and then cancel right away and you have a
whole month to watch it. And I will not stop
doing that, and if they make that impossible, I'll just
quit watching it completely. That is your scoop of the
(10:44):
day on The John and Heidi Show.
Speaker 4 (10:45):

Thank you for listening to The John and Heidie Show
on a Friday. Excited to visit with Brian Boone from
Uncle John's Bathroom Reader And the latest edition is out
(11:07):
right now, and this looks really really good. I had
it for a moment then my wife took it away
from me. But this book looks fantastic.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Well, thank you very much. Yeah, we're pleased with it.
It's very retro but very new and now I'll like
it a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I've been a fan of the Uncle John Bathroom Reader
for many, many, many years, but for anybody listening that
might be unfamiliar with what you guys do. Let's explain
what you do and why you do it.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, you know, it started off when our original uncle, John,
our founder, is a trivia writer named John, and he
found himself in a bathroom at a friend's house with
nothing to read. And he figured, well, you know, this
is probably a common problem that people get stuck somewhere,
you know, not just a bathroom, but just somewhere with
nothing to do, and maybe they want to be entertained
(11:49):
or maybe even learn something. And so we put together
these books of short trivia. You know, we've got everything
from you know, one line at the bottom of the
page of fun facts you can just flip through and read,
or we've got articles of various lengths, and it's just
a little something for everybody. There's history, there's origins, word origins,
you know, funny funny word play, you know, stories from
(12:13):
movies and TV. A lot of science, a lot of
like how everyday stuff works, geography, history, So there's just
a little something for everybody. You can just flip open
at random and learn something in an entertaining way.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And kids before everybody carried a smartphone with them. We
would read these things called books, and I know a
lot of people still do read books, which is a
good thing. And you don't have to read this in
the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh absolutely yeah. I throw mine in my car. If
I'm ever stuck in line or something, I pick up
a bathroom reader, or pick up a bathroom reader research
material and just entertain myself that way. We used to
be bored, and we used to fill in that time
with reading actual books.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's true, and I've done that same thing. I'll have
a copy of this in my car, and if I
get to an appointment early, instead of going in and
sitting in their waiting room just staring at the wall,
I'll kind of flip through this. Then I have something
fun to share with them when I walk in as well.
So by reading this, you'll be the most interesting person
at every party you go to.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Well, that's fantastic. That is the highest praise. And I
think you're right. You learn something. I'm constantly you know
able to drop some knowledge into a conversation, and I
love to hear knowledge from other people, and this is
a This is a good way to do it, and
you acquire knowledge that you never would have acquired elsewhere.
So it's a lovely thing.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And we got to talk about the latest edition that's
out right now, the thirty eighth annual Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.
This one's called No It All. What are some things
we'll find in this book?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I think one of my favorites is it's called The
Science of Comic Book Junk. And I was just you know, looking,
you know, thinking of stories to write about it. And
I often go back to, you know, childhood and what
mystified me when I was a kid, and part of
that was because the junk that they sold in the
back of comic books and kids magazines and stuff like that,
like sea monkeys and voice throwers, extra respects. So I
(14:01):
dove deep and I found out the actual science behind
what some of this stuff was and how it actually worked,
and it was fascinating and also disheartening. But I'm also
glad that I never spent my money on X ray spects,
because do you remember those, Like, you know, they looked
all swirly at everything and you put them on and
you could suposedly see through your hand or you know,
see under people's clothes and things like that.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, I remember the ad, but I never owned a
pair of My mom always said no.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
So what they were is there are fake lenses that
were made of two pieces of thin paperboard glued together
with a tiny hole cut all the way in the center,
and then they would embed a bird feather into each hole.
And so as you looked at objects or people through
the holes, the thin veins and the feathers would diffract light,
and so it would make the image appear opposite and
(14:49):
slightly overlapping in gray. And so would you hold your
hand up, say, and you'd see your dark hand with
a light colored barrier. So it was just an optical
illusion of penetrated vision. You can't really see your bones
through them. It was just it was a very cheap
optical illusion.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, now I'm really glad my mom didn't let me
buy those. And Brian, the book is out now, know
it all. It's a thirty eighth annual Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.
And it's kind of available pretty much everywhere, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
We try to get it everywhere. You can find it
in your favorite bookstore, Indie, org, Shade, we're at Amazon,
We're at portablepress dot com, and you can you can
find it there, and you know, and most of our
back catalog of thirty seven ors, so pretty much anywhere
you want a book to look for some the trivia
or the humor section.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Brian, thanks for taking the time to chat with us,
and thank you for doing what you do. I don't
know if you can tell by talking to me, but
I'm a big fan of these books and I think
they're just so much fun. So thanks again for doing this.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Well, thank you so much. I can hear you smiling,
and that's that's that's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (15:48):

It's from nineteen eighty. I didn't even need to tell
you that I am serious, and don't call me Shirley No. Airplane, yeah, airplane.
Doctor Rumak also known as Leslie Nielsen. You know that
was his first comedy movie.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I do know.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
He was a very was a brilliant actor.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Very serious actor up until that point.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
One of my then favorite actors.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Once that movie came out, he didn't I don't think
he did another serious roll after that. Everything he did
after that was comedy, brilliant comedy. He was such a
funny guy. And kids, if you don't know who Leslie
Nielsen is, first of all, you talk to your mom
and dad and you say, uncle John tells me you
did a bad job raising me. Just kidding, don't say that,
but you do need to see some of his work
(17:18):
because he is so so funny. That is your movie
quote of the day on the John and Heidi.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
Tippy Heedron, who is the actress in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. Yeah,
she would help out at refugee camps in northern California.
Okay at that time, it was when all of the
Vietnamese refugees were coming into you country. She at this
one camp that she worked at, so many women complimented
her on her beautiful nails that she had her personal
(18:09):
manicurist flown in from Beverly Hills to the camp to
do their nails and to teach them how to do
Hollywood worthy manicures. Those women dispersed throughout the country, got
their nail technician licenses with Hedron's help, and open salon
businesses in Strip malls. By the mid eighties, owning or
(18:31):
working in a nail salon became quintessential part of being
a Vietnamese American woman and now even still today. Yeah,
fifty percent of nail salon owners are Vietnamese. And because
it's because of Tippy Hedron, isn't bad? Is that fascinating?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
That is fantastic.

Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I love that, Heidi.
Speaker 5 (18:48):

Fun fact for you, Heidi. Even if you're super super
super hot and you're sweating everywhere else, you know, your
lips will not sweat. I've never thought about that.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Your upper lip does.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, that's the above your lip, but your lip itself
no sweat. There you go. Fun fact for the singer
known as meat Loaf.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, I loved him.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Was a vegetarian, I did, yeah so, but he kept
the name meat Loaf even though he became a vegetarian.
How about this one fun fact for you, Heidi John.
A hippopotamus cannot swim. No, but it is big andoyant
and simply hops along the river floor and it just
bobs up and down. Interesting, but it does not swim.
(20:06):
I kind of do a movie.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Those things are not friendly.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
No, they're not. Do not try to pet a hippo.

Time now for some weird news. Chinese researchers say they've
created a groundbreaking super glue for bones that could heal
(20:47):
fractures and minutes rather than months. Yeah. Developed at a
university in China, the adhesive, called bone two, has already
been tested successfully in more than one hundred and fifty cases.
Inspired by oysters who have the ability to cling to
wet wet surfaces and they can shift from surface to surface,
scientists engineered a bio glue that fuses bone fragments with
(21:11):
a single injection, bonding them in just three minutes and
avoiding complicated surgeries to install metal plates and screws. In addition,
Bone two is absorbed naturally by the body, elimiting the
need for a follow up surgery.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Holy cat.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
So it's patented in China and abroad. Experts caution more
clinical trials are needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
So that's super cool.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, I've I probably shouldn't even say this out loud,
that I've never officially broken a bone. Well yeah, so
I think I did.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
And I just walked it off.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
But anyway, for those of you who have broke a bone,
you know how cool it would be to not have
a cast like that would be? Yeah, weird news right
here on the John and Heidi show.

for you, Heidi. The average household replaces this item every
ten years.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
What is it every ten years?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I don't know. I think we've replaced ours more frequently
than this.
Speaker 4 (22:36):

you have for me? Heidi?
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Being the president of the United States is not a
job that I would want, No me neither. It's a
thankless job, and it is a lot of work. But
there's a few I have several days worth of quotes
from presidents just about that exact same thing.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Bill Clinton said being president is like running a cemetery.
You've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening.
Richard Nixon said scrubbing floors and emptying bedpans has as
much dignity as the presidency.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
And the last one for day is Jimmy Carter. My
esteem in this country has gone up substantially. It's very
nice now when people wave at me, they use all
of their fingers. Oh yeah, that was him after president Yea, yeah,
it is sad, it is, yeah, because there should be
a lot more respect for that office.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Thomas Jefferson. He was a president. On his tombstone, he
didn't even list that. He listed everything else, didn't even
listen that he was a president. Yeah, well that is cool,
Thank you. There's something special from Heidi Small.

Time now for the list. It is officially fall It
has been for like a week, maybe two weeks. How
long has it been falling? It seems like forever, but
it's been going on for a bit. So here's some
things on the list that we can all look forward to.
This is, according to people on the internet, seasonal flavors.
It's one of the things people said they really looked
forward to once fall gets here, which it is now.
Fall flavors like pumpkin spice, apple, cinnamon, caramel, local options,
(25:13):
coffee shops, apple orchards, punkin patches, farmers markets, all that stuff.
Another one outdoor activities. Fall is ideal for things like
hiking and camping, bonfires and corn mazes. Another thing that
people really like clothing and fashion trends. Cooler weather brings sweaters.
I was looking for my sweaters. I don't know where
they are. I have to look and.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
See they're probably on top of the shelf.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, I have to look for him. And then boots
is the other thing. Friday night lights. Yeah, high school
football is synonymous with this time of year. And then movies,
all the cool fall movie releases. So there's a whole big,
long list of them here that came out in the
fall and anyway, and there's a bunch that are coming
out right now. So all of those fun things on
(25:55):
the list. In the show notes for today at John

We always like to wrap things up rout here with
good news, and I think this is good news. She
walked outside, expecting an ordinary afternoon. Instead, she was handed
the keys to a whole new life. This happened in Georgia,
where the Flowery Branch High School community came together in
a powerful display of compassion this week, rallying to support
a beloved staff member who was facing some tough times.
(26:40):
Miss Lenn serves as a school's parking lot security guard.
She's been struggling financially. When her car became unsafe to drive.
The principal stepped in and offered to buy her a
new tire out of his own pocket. Well, that small
act of kindness quickly grew into something much bigger. Christian
Brothers Auto of Flowery Branch heard about Miss Len's situation
(27:00):
decided we don't want to repair this car. Instead, let's
get her a different car. So they gave her a
twenty fourteen Nissan Ultima with a brand new transmission. Students
from the STEM program and the TSA program detailed the car,
got it all cleaned up and looking spiffy. The school's
work based Learning team worked with local businesses to cover
the registration costs, and thanks to their efforts, Miss Lenn
(27:22):
received this vehicle at no expense to her. After the
school buses pulled out for the day, student staff and
community partners all showed up to surprise Miss Lenn with
the keys to her new car.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
That's so great this.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
As we are proud of Flowery Branch High School for
leading with compassion, grateful to Christian Brothers Automotive for their generosity,
and inspired by a community that shows what it means
to live out our vision each day. That's what the
school district shared. I've got a link to this story
if you'd like to see it. And I think that's
really cool. That is really really cool. It's in the
show notes for today at Johndeidishow dot com. I'm sinking
