Speaker 1 (01:33):
Heidie?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Today is Terry Garr's birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I love Terry.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
She was in so so, so many epic films in
the eighties to which yeah, mister mom TUTSI she was amazing.
And I found a cocktail in her honor called the Tutsie.
Oh and it actually I would try I will try this.
This one sounds really good.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
If she says that a lot is because she.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Simply coffee liqueur and chilled root beer over ice, well
that's weird. I bet that is so yummy.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
When you do that, tell me and I bet it
does taste like.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
A TUTSI roll that combination. I bet it does.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I'll take a little sip of that. You could take
a zip too, folks, if you'd like. I've got a
link to the drink in the show notes for today
at Johnandeidishow dot com.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'm Chris from Izzy Jim. If you got a Pokemon
collection that you're looking to sell, I'm looking to buy it.
No collection too big or small will buy it all.
If you have a collection, or your kids have a collection,
just reach out. When you tell you what it's worth.
Most people have no idea what's sitting in their closets.
Stuff you bought for a dollar back in the day
if there were thousands today. If you have a Pokemon
collection that you don't need, you can sell it and
get money for things that you do need. Reach out
to us at izzygim dot com.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
That's Izzysjim dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Now surveys and studies and such. You've probably heard of
the infamous twenty seven Club. A list of music icons
like Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kirk Cobain, and
Amy Winehouse. That all tragically passed away at just twenty
seven years of age. Well, now there's some new research
suggesting that fame itself can actually shorten a singer's life.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Oh, I don't doubt that.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
The study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community they
found that famous singers, on average dy four years younger
than non famous people. The average age. There were six
hundred and forty eight artists between nineteen fifty and nineteen
ninety that were in this study. So they had some
non famous people, you know that they were singers, they
(03:28):
were performers, but they weren't famous. They lived to be
seventy nine. The famous version, on average live to be
seventy five. So solo acts fared worse. So if you're
like Elvis, you know, compared to the Beatles where it's
a group, you know, twenty six percent higher risk of
death when you're a solo artist. So I don't know why.
(03:49):
I've got the details in the show notes for today

(04:17):
dropped for that, and then on the eve of the release,
the attorney for fifty cent. That's Curtis Jackson. That's the
big foe for Sean Puff, Daddy Combs or Diddy. There's
a lot of names involved here that aren't their names anyway.
He sent a cease and assist saying do not, under
any circumstances let this get out. So I don't know
(04:37):
if it's out. We're not on Netflix right now. But
if it's out, that means that they made it. If
it's not out, well you can blame fifty cent. How
often can you blame him? And there's a young lady
that's best known for being on the Secret Lives of
Mormon Wives. Her name is Whitney. I think it's leave
it anyway. She's now got a Broadway debut. She's going
to be on Broadway for six weeks beginning in February.

off and then fifty second fifty seven seconds later, it
lands one point seven miles between these islands.

the time to get in the water. Go all the

What do you have for me?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Heidi?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
What do you call a waffle on a California beach?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
A waffle? I have no idea A Sand Diego, a
Sandy Ago. You know that made me think of maybe
think of our son when he was in like fourth grade,
they did a math project and it was something like
something about cats on a beach at Christmas. I don't
remember what the joke was, but the answer was Sandy Clause,
(07:06):
Sandy Claus. But it was you had to fill out
this thing and then you'd get the letters and it
was math. And he did bad and he gets done,
he goes sidfy grizz. That doesn't make any sense at all,
And I was like, you might want to check your math, buddy.
I'm pretty sure it's not sidfey grizz. Sandy Claus makes
a lot more sense. That is your joke of the
day on the John and Heidi Show.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
I'm Chris from izzy Jim.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
If you got a Pokemon collection that you're looking to sell,
I'm looking to buy it. We're based in the Midwest.
We're buying collections from all over the country. I effect
to get an idea of what collection is worth is
head on over to izzygim dot com and shoot us
a no stuff you bought for a dollar back in
the day, there were thousands today. If you have a
Pokemon collection that you don't need, you can sell it
and get money for things that you do need. Reach
out to us at izygim dot com.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
That's izzys Jim dot com.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Time now for the scoop of the day, and yeah,
this is kind of cool. The first day of Hanukah
is this Sunday, December fourteenth, So I'll have to reach
out to my buddy Robert every year. He's a Jewish gentleman,
and he wishes me a Merry Christmas every year because
I'm a Christian gentleman. And I wish him a happy
Honic every year because he's a Jewish gentleman. And I
love the fact that we can be very good friends
even though we don't agree on every single thing. And
(08:19):
that's the way the world used to be kids before
social media. I don't know why in the world it's
like nowadays. If I think this and you think that
we need to hate each other, I'm like, no, I
just love everybody so much more fun. And the big
jewel heights that happened at that museum, Do you remember
the one over there in France? Yes, people called it
the louver. That's how I've always heard it.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I've always heard it.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah. Well, if you don't know how to say the louver,
well you're not alone. A new list from Babbel and
a Captioning Group highlights twenty twenty five's most bungled words,
and that came in at the top. It's not the louver,
it's the Louverra it's lo Oure Louvra.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, ye saw people reading it that way were wrong.
There was reading it exactly, the cultured swine.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Others on the list, the new mayor of New York,
a CD of metapin. I don't know if I'm saying
any of these right, the diabetes drug Mount Jarrow. So
this is a list of all the things that people
are getting wrong. And apparently we've been saying Denzel wrong.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Is Denzil.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's Denzil. Really his name is pronounced Denzil. But his
mother and here's the thing, he said his mother actually
pronounced it Denzel, even though he pronounced it Denzil. So
she says Denzel saidel coming to America. Moment for you
(09:47):
scoop of the day on The John and Heidie Show Show.
Thank you so much for listening to The John and
Heidie Show. Brought to you in part by Jace casemedical
dot com. Do you have a Ja's case. You can
get all of the details for free right now at
jscasemedical dot com. Time now for Dear John letters John, Oh, Heidi,
(10:14):
this might be my favorite Dear John looker. It is
so fun. Okay, here we go, I'll read it to
you and then you just hold your applause Heidi, okay,
cause you're gonna be excited to Dear John, I have
a different kind of letter for you this week. I've
heard you asking for fun letters, and I hope this
makes your day. My family is going to be staying
together in a giant home we're renting in the middle
(10:34):
of where we all live. We're each driving a few
hours towards each other, and there's a huge, amazing rental
home there with a room with room for all of us.
Here is my question where it comes in. This home
has a giant theater room, and we're spending a week there.
And I want to have a list of the best
Christmas movies ever. I hear you two talking about movies
(10:54):
all the time, so I thought you might have some suggestions.
This is fun, right, We have some kids, so maybe
two lists, one for the whole family and one just
for the adults after the kids go to sleep. Signed
Missiletoe movie Mama HEIGHTI I've got you covered. You have
some I have you covered, Yes I do. I'm gonna
let you go through and I'm gonna be thinking as
hard as I can on others Christmas movies.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It is absolutely vital to watch a Christmas Carol when
at Christmas time because it is such a special story.
The only acceptable version of this epic film with the
kids is The Muppets Christmas Carol with Michael Caine.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
It is good.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
It is the only except any other version. No, you're
not allowed to watch.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
They're all good.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Emtt Otter's Jrug Band Christmas.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
There's I knew you were going.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
It is a must. We watch it every family.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I know what I'm saying that this is one that
you can watch with the kids. Yes, so both of
those so far are with the kids. Yes, I know,
it's what I'm saying. Because there's another one. I guarantee
it's gonna be on your list that you don't want
the kids around for the ref there. I knew that
was good.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
That is my That is my personal all time favorite.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Christmas Dennis le just a whole bunch of really great
people in it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Kevin Space. It is brilliantly is not for children, but
you will laugh and laugh and laugh all the way
through it, and most you've probably never even seen it
because it is one of those hidden gems that for
some reason didn't get the attention that it deserved because
it is epically better than any other Christmas movie out there?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Do you have more on your list? Is at all
you have?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
For? No?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I do? I have a new one that you haven't
seen yet for all of you moms. So if you
want to get the other moms together, and it probably
wouldn't be bad for your family to see this as well,
say know how hard you work at Christmas? Because Christmas
doesn't just happen. It is us moms that bust our
butts the majority of the year to make it seem
magical and effortless. This movie is brand new on Amazon
(12:53):
Prime and it's called Oh What Fun? Oh Period? What Period? Fun? Period.
I'm not gonna Min's words. I cried a few times.
Can you watch it? I watched it and I don't cry.
You know, I'm not a crier at movies. I cried
at this movie. Yes, that is one I would highly
recommend as well.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All Right, so Heidi did a really good job hitting
some very important ones. Here's one that she forgot. I
don't know why that's called Christmas Vacation.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I mean, everybody's seen that, and everybody's seen that over
and over.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
And over every single line to that.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Oh, of course we do.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And that is a phenomenal movie. So that's a really
good one. Another one that I like, and it's similar
to a Christmas Carol. It's called Scrooged. I love that movie.
I don't know what, I don't know why, but I
just love that movie. I think that one's really good.
And again in the show notes, not in the show notes,
what am I talking about? Social media? Facebook? That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
And the remake to a Miracle on thirty fourth Street
with that one is phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And on our Facebook page, this was posted Monday. And
We've got so many great great movies on the list.
One that I watch every year is called It's a
Wonderful Life and that is a great, great movie. I
love that movie. I'm excited because tomorrow I actually have
a guest who was in that movie. He was the
little boy in that movie. Oh wow, and he's got
(14:09):
a new book out about his experience there and all
the other fun stuff that he did. So okay, so
that is I have to make sure I mention that.
And again, I could go on because I have so
many favorites, but I'm gonna tell you. Most of the
favorites of mine are also listed on that Facebook post.
If you haven't had a chance to check that, check
that out and then add anything that you think is missing.
And I'm going to use that post as well because
(14:30):
I'm gonna go and find some movies. There's some on
there that I haven't seen. I'm gonna check them out.
And again, if you would like to chime in with
some good movies for kids and also for families and
for after the kids go to bed Christmas movies, you
can chime in at Facebook dot com slash John and
Heidi Show. Oh and if you want to send a
really fun letter for next week, it's gonna be hard

game show Fact on My List. A woman appeared on
the British version of Deal or No Deal in the

have enough money to afford fertility treatments. She didn't win,

Fun fact for a Heidi, there are more than one
thousand different types of bananas. Okay, yeah, so the ones
that we eat ones. That's one of the many apparently
fun fact for you, Heide. According to the company, the
plural of lego is lego bricks, not lego.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
My whole life fun fact for although it may be counterintuitive,
your small intestine is actually the largest organ in your body.
So by that reasoning, it's larger than the large intest.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
The large intention is larger, but the small intestine is longer,
which makes it a bigger order.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So shouldn't they call it the large intestine and the
long intestine? Fun fact for a hiding Arnold Schwarzenegger said,
I'll be back in six different Terminator movies, but also
in eight other movies.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh that's funny.

five year old woman thought that she had died when
she stopped breathing. He placed her in a coffin for
a long drive to honor her wish to donate her organs.
A hospital refused her without a death certificate. Yeah, so
he brought her to the temple offering free cremations. While
discussing paperwork, staff herd knocking. They opened the cop and
(19:54):
I found her moving and conscious. She was taken to
a nearby hospital for treatment. So ye yay, it's a

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah, the one is I'm a bad guy. If I
was a good guy, nobody want want to pay to
see me fight.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That's true, It's true, probably very true.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
And this one was actually kind of profound, which kind
of surprised me.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I'm ready for this.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
It's good to know how to read, but it's dangerous
to know how to read and not how to interpret
what you're reading. Oh can you believe that? I know?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, that is amazing.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Anyway, That's what I've got for today is that.

Time now for the list the top five social media
platforms by monthly active users. I'm gonna have you guess
who do you think is number one social media platform?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Social media? Put Facebook?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
So you think there's still number one? All right, Let's
take a look here at the top five. Number five,
the one that I thought probably would have been higher
than number five TikTok one point nine to four billion
monthly active users, so it is still a lot of
folks on there. Instagram is number four, two billion YouTube.
For some reason, they're calling that a social media platform
(23:29):
two point five to four billion. Number two is the
one that surprised me. WhatsApp three billion monthly active users. Huh.
I get messages all the time saying hey, connect with
me through WhatsApp. I'm like, nope, I don't need any
more stuff. No, and number one is the one Heidi said.
It is Facebook three point zero seven billion monthly active users.
(23:54):
That is the list.

to wrap things up around here with good news, and
I think this is good news. So does Heidi because
(24:21):
she shared this with me. An eighty eight year old
veteran who was forced to go back to work gets
a surprise of a lifetime ed bombas he should be
enjoying a peaceful retirement anyway, but instead, this US Army
veteran is working full time as a cashier in Michigan. Now,
thanks to a chance encounter, the world is stepping up
to change all that. He retired more than a decade
(24:42):
ago when he worked for General Motors. Well in twenty
twelve when they went bankrupt. His pension went away, sadly,
at the same time, his wife's health failed and then
she passed away.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
And health insurance.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, yeah, so without the pension, without the medical care,
all of that went away. So they lost their home home.
After being married for more than fifty years. He lost
lost his wife soon after. He had no choice. He said,
I had to go back to work. So he went
and got a job and he works almost every day.
Eighty eight years young. And somebody sent a tip to
this gentleman who does this. He goes around and does
(25:16):
videos like this, and he was filming at the store
and he gave him a four hundred dollars tip while
he was there, and that was enough for this guy
to say, you know it was he.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Was choked up such a beautiful video.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Now you know how much that go fund me is
up to over a million? Yeah, it's one point nine
million dollars at least at the time of this story. Oh,
it is so great. I've got a link to the story.
And this gentleman is just seems like the neatest guy.
And here's the thing. When Heidi sent this to me,
I instantly said, he reminds me of your grandpa. Yeah,
he reminds me a lot of Heidie's grandpa, just very
(25:49):
the way he speaks, the way he holds himself, everything
about him. And he also was a veteran and just
a neat guy.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And this was just the coolest story I got linked
to it.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
It's in the show notes for today at John and
Heidie Show. You can see it there. Time sakeod Bye Heidi,

Now surveys and studies and such. You've probably heard of
the infamous twenty seven Club. A list of music icons
like Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kirk Cobain, and
Amy Winehouse. That all tragically passed away at just twenty
seven years of age. Well, now there's some new research
suggesting that fame itself can actually shorten a singer's life.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Oh, I don't doubt that.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
The study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community they
found that famous singers, on average dy four years younger
than non famous people. The average age. There were six
hundred and forty eight artists between nineteen fifty and nineteen
ninety that were in this study. So they had some
non famous people, you know that they were singers, they
(03:28):
were performers, but they weren't famous. They lived to be
seventy nine. The famous version, on average live to be
seventy five. So solo acts fared worse. So if you're
like Elvis, you know, compared to the Beatles where it's
a group, you know, twenty six percent higher risk of
death when you're a solo artist. So I don't know why.
(03:49):
I've got the details in the show notes for today

dropped for that, and then on the eve of the release,
the attorney for fifty cent. That's Curtis Jackson. That's the
big foe for Sean Puff, Daddy Combs or Diddy. There's
a lot of names involved here that aren't their names anyway.
He sent a cease and assist saying do not, under
any circumstances let this get out. So I don't know
(04:37):
if it's out. We're not on Netflix right now. But
if it's out, that means that they made it. If
it's not out, well you can blame fifty cent. How
often can you blame him? And there's a young lady
that's best known for being on the Secret Lives of
Mormon Wives. Her name is Whitney. I think it's leave
it anyway. She's now got a Broadway debut. She's going

What do you have for me?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Heidi?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
What do you call a waffle on a California beach?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
A waffle? I have no idea A Sand Diego, a
Sandy Ago. You know that made me think of maybe
think of our son when he was in like fourth grade,
they did a math project and it was something like
something about cats on a beach at Christmas. I don't
remember what the joke was, but the answer was Sandy Clause,
(07:06):
Sandy Claus. But it was you had to fill out
this thing and then you'd get the letters and it
was math. And he did bad and he gets done,
he goes sidfy grizz. That doesn't make any sense at all,
And I was like, you might want to check your math, buddy.
I'm pretty sure it's not sidfey grizz. Sandy Claus makes
a lot more sense. That is your joke of the
day on the John and Heidi Show.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
I'm Chris from izzy Jim.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
If you got a Pokemon collection that you're looking to sell,
I'm looking to buy it. We're based in the Midwest.
We're buying collections from all over the country. I effect
to get an idea of what collection is worth is
head on over to izzygim dot com and shoot us

the day, there were thousands today. If you have a

Time now for the scoop of the day, and yeah,
this is kind of cool. The first day of Hanukah
is this Sunday, December fourteenth, So I'll have to reach
out to my buddy Robert every year. He's a Jewish gentleman,
and he wishes me a Merry Christmas every year because
I'm a Christian gentleman. And I wish him a happy
Honic every year because he's a Jewish gentleman. And I
love the fact that we can be very good friends
even though we don't agree on every single thing. And
(08:19):
that's the way the world used to be kids before
social media. I don't know why in the world it's
like nowadays. If I think this and you think that
we need to hate each other, I'm like, no, I
just love everybody so much more fun. And the big
jewel heights that happened at that museum, Do you remember
the one over there in France? Yes, people called it
the louver. That's how I've always heard it.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I've always heard it.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah. Well, if you don't know how to say the louver,
well you're not alone. A new list from Babbel and
a Captioning Group highlights twenty twenty five's most bungled words,
and that came in at the top. It's not the louver,
it's the Louverra it's lo Oure Louvra.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, ye saw people reading it that way were wrong.
There was reading it exactly, the cultured swine.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Others on the list, the new mayor of New York,
a CD of metapin. I don't know if I'm saying
any of these right, the diabetes drug Mount Jarrow. So
this is a list of all the things that people
are getting wrong. And apparently we've been saying Denzel wrong.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Is Denzil.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's Denzil. Really his name is pronounced Denzil. But his
mother and here's the thing, he said his mother actually
pronounced it Denzel, even though he pronounced it Denzil. So
she says Denzel saidel coming to America. Moment for you
(09:47):
scoop of the day on The John and Heidie Show Show.
Thank you so much for listening to The John and
Heidie Show. Brought to you in part by Jace casemedical
dot com. Do you have a Ja's case. You can
get all of the details for free right now at
jscasemedical dot com. Time now for Dear John letters John, Oh, Heidi,
(10:14):
this might be my favorite Dear John looker. It is
so fun. Okay, here we go, I'll read it to
you and then you just hold your applause Heidi, okay,
cause you're gonna be excited to Dear John, I have
a different kind of letter for you this week. I've
heard you asking for fun letters, and I hope this
makes your day. My family is going to be staying
together in a giant home we're renting in the middle
(10:34):
of where we all live. We're each driving a few
hours towards each other, and there's a huge, amazing rental
home there with a room with room for all of us.
Here is my question where it comes in. This home
has a giant theater room, and we're spending a week there.
And I want to have a list of the best
Christmas movies ever. I hear you two talking about movies
(10:54):
all the time, so I thought you might have some suggestions.
This is fun, right, We have some kids, so maybe
two lists, one for the whole family and one just
for the adults after the kids go to sleep. Signed
Missiletoe movie Mama HEIGHTI I've got you covered. You have
some I have you covered, Yes I do. I'm gonna
let you go through and I'm gonna be thinking as
hard as I can on others Christmas movies.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It is absolutely vital to watch a Christmas Carol when
at Christmas time because it is such a special story.
The only acceptable version of this epic film with the
kids is The Muppets Christmas Carol with Michael Caine.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
It is good.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
It is the only except any other version. No, you're
not allowed to watch.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
They're all good.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Emtt Otter's Jrug Band Christmas.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
There's I knew you were going.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
It is a must. We watch it every family.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I know what I'm saying that this is one that
you can watch with the kids. Yes, so both of
those so far are with the kids. Yes, I know,
it's what I'm saying. Because there's another one. I guarantee
it's gonna be on your list that you don't want
the kids around for the ref there. I knew that
was good.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
That is my That is my personal all time favorite.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Christmas Dennis le just a whole bunch of really great
people in it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Kevin Space. It is brilliantly is not for children, but
you will laugh and laugh and laugh all the way
through it, and most you've probably never even seen it
because it is one of those hidden gems that for
some reason didn't get the attention that it deserved because
it is epically better than any other Christmas movie out there?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Do you have more on your list? Is at all
you have?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
For? No?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I do? I have a new one that you haven't
seen yet for all of you moms. So if you
want to get the other moms together, and it probably
wouldn't be bad for your family to see this as well,
say know how hard you work at Christmas? Because Christmas
doesn't just happen. It is us moms that bust our
butts the majority of the year to make it seem
magical and effortless. This movie is brand new on Amazon
(12:53):
Prime and it's called Oh What Fun? Oh Period? What Period? Fun? Period.
I'm not gonna Min's words. I cried a few times.
Can you watch it? I watched it and I don't cry.
You know, I'm not a crier at movies. I cried
at this movie. Yes, that is one I would highly
recommend as well.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All Right, so Heidi did a really good job hitting
some very important ones. Here's one that she forgot. I
don't know why that's called Christmas Vacation.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I mean, everybody's seen that, and everybody's seen that over
and over.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
And over every single line to that.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Oh, of course we do.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And that is a phenomenal movie. So that's a really
good one. Another one that I like, and it's similar
to a Christmas Carol. It's called Scrooged. I love that movie.
I don't know what, I don't know why, but I
just love that movie. I think that one's really good.
And again in the show notes, not in the show notes,
what am I talking about? Social media? Facebook? That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
And the remake to a Miracle on thirty fourth Street
with that one is phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And on our Facebook page, this was posted Monday. And
We've got so many great great movies on the list.
One that I watch every year is called It's a
Wonderful Life and that is a great, great movie. I
love that movie. I'm excited because tomorrow I actually have
a guest who was in that movie. He was the
little boy in that movie. Oh wow, and he's got
(14:09):
a new book out about his experience there and all
the other fun stuff that he did. So okay, so
that is I have to make sure I mention that.
And again, I could go on because I have so
many favorites, but I'm gonna tell you. Most of the
favorites of mine are also listed on that Facebook post.
If you haven't had a chance to check that, check
that out and then add anything that you think is missing.
And I'm going to use that post as well because
(14:30):
I'm gonna go and find some movies. There's some on
there that I haven't seen. I'm gonna check them out.

some good movies for kids and also for families and

I wanted to do the radio station I worked at.
I was like, I want to do Win Big John's Money,
and they're like, you have no money. I'm like, that's
the funny part. You want a quarter.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
It was such a great show. And then the final
game show Fact on My List. A woman appeared on
the British version of Deal or No Deal in the
two thousands and said if she won, she wanted to
have enough money to afford fertility treatments. She didn't win,
but still wound up with the money because pop star
George Michael saw the episode and gave the couple enough
(17:22):
to cover the expenses. Isn't that love that I love
Michael very nice. Yeah, So anyways, that's news to me.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That is also news to me.

collection that you're looking to sell, I'm looking to buy it.

If you have a collection, or your kids have a collection,
just reach out when you tell you what it's worth.
Most people have no idea what's sitting in their closets.

thousand different types of bananas. Okay, yeah, so the ones
that we eat ones. That's one of the many apparently
fun fact for you, Heide. According to the company, the
plural of lego is lego bricks, not lego.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
My whole life fun fact for although it may be counterintuitive,
your small intestine is actually the largest organ in your body.
So by that reasoning, it's larger than the large intest.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
The large intention is larger, but the small intestine is longer,
which makes it a bigger order.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So shouldn't they call it the large intestine and the
long intestine? Fun fact for a hiding Arnold Schwarzenegger said,
I'll be back in six different Terminator movies, but also
in eight other movies.

discussing paperwork, staff herd knocking. They opened the cop and

platforms by monthly active users. I'm gonna have you guess
who do you think is number one social media platform?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Social media? Put Facebook?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
So you think there's still number one? All right, Let's
take a look here at the top five. Number five,
the one that I thought probably would have been higher
than number five TikTok one point nine to four billion
monthly active users, so it is still a lot of
folks on there. Instagram is number four, two billion YouTube.
For some reason, they're calling that a social media platform
(23:29):
two point five to four billion. Number two is the
one that surprised me. WhatsApp three billion monthly active users. Huh.
I get messages all the time saying hey, connect with
me through WhatsApp. I'm like, nope, I don't need any
more stuff. No, and number one is the one Heidi said.
It is Facebook three point zero seven billion monthly active users.

I think this is good news. So does Heidi because
(24:21):
she shared this with me. An eighty eight year old
veteran who was forced to go back to work gets
a surprise of a lifetime ed bombas he should be
enjoying a peaceful retirement anyway, but instead, this US Army
veteran is working full time as a cashier in Michigan. Now,
thanks to a chance encounter, the world is stepping up
to change all that. He retired more than a decade
(24:42):
ago when he worked for General Motors. Well in twenty
twelve when they went bankrupt. His pension went away, sadly,
at the same time, his wife's health failed and then
she passed away.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
And health insurance.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, yeah, so without the pension, without the medical care,
all of that went away. So they lost their home home.
After being married for more than fifty years. He lost
lost his wife soon after. He had no choice. He said,
I had to go back to work. So he went
and got a job and he works almost every day.
Eighty eight years young. And somebody sent a tip to
this gentleman who does this. He goes around and does
(25:16):
videos like this, and he was filming at the store
and he gave him a four hundred dollars tip while
he was there, and that was enough for this guy
to say, you know it was he.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Was choked up such a beautiful video.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Now you know how much that go fund me is
up to over a million? Yeah, it's one point nine
million dollars at least at the time of this story. Oh,
it is so great. I've got a link to the story.
And this gentleman is just seems like the neatest guy.
And here's the thing. When Heidi sent this to me,
I instantly said, he reminds me of your grandpa. Yeah,
he reminds me a lot of Heidie's grandpa, just very
(25:49):
the way he speaks, the way he holds himself, everything
about him. And he also was a veteran and just
a neat guy.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And this was just the coolest story I got linked
to it.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
It's in the show notes for today at John and
Heidie Show. You can see it there. Time sakeod Bye Heidi,
