towel shopping the other day trying tofind a goody and uh, I think
I found one. It was byum a towel company called Grade A Dry,
Grade A Grade A Dry, AndI was checking out the tag,
yeah you know the tag, AndI was looking trying to find out more
(04:09):
about this company. I'd never heardabout Grade A dry before. And it
said, you know, uh,built in the US, UM, manufactured
in Minnesota. Questions Email Dan Attactahollmarkdot com. Dan knows about towel Day.
That was on the tag and Iwas bothered by that with my email
(04:31):
that's only been an email address forlike two years. Yes, well,
this is a new company. It'sa new company, grade company. It's
a grade there in the grade Atowel. Grade A towel. No Grade
A dry, Great a dry.That's a terrible name. It's not a
good name. Really, Why didyou make that company? I didn't make.
I have no idea. Do youknow about towel Day? I do?
(04:54):
I do? UM. It alldates back to the denim shortage of
nineteen sixties. Um, those werethe rough times. Uh. You couldn't
find Denham anywhere. You couldn't findthem. Um, And there was a
guy, uh, Scuggie Specter,and Scuggie started created the first ever towel
pants. Now these pants were madeout of the same spun cotton or whatever
(05:19):
towels made out of. And hemade full link pants to make him look
like jeans. Now. Um,people bought them and that was a mistake
because howel pants powel pants, that'sright. And as soon as they went
out anywhere, um, if theygot wet, they'd started to become heavier
and heavier. Um. And soif you got caught in a storm,
(05:40):
you could literally be caught with yourpants around your ankles, like you just
your pant your they would saturate somuch there was no way to put a
belt on him. He thought hewas helping, Scuggie was actually making it
worse. And so they were like, Scuggie, never do this ever again.
But in your honor, will createNational twel Day. So they did
so. Now we celebrate using towelsfor their proper purpose, not pants.
Back to you brand a towel,it says, is about the most massively
(06:10):
useful thing no an interstellar hitchhiker canhave. Oh okay, yeah yeah,
Douglas hartly, it has great practicalvalue. It's from Douglas Adams, The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Guy. Ishould have realized it was a Hitchhiker's god
bit with the question if I hadthought for two seconds, I would have
known it was Hitchhiker's Guide. TowelDay was created to honor author Douglas Adams,
(06:34):
first celebrating on May twenty fifth,two thousand and one, just two
weeks after he passed away. Douglaswrote many about the many uses of a
towel in his book The Hitchhiker Guideto the Galaxy. Fans have loved it
and it's it's stood a test oftime. And uh so that's what we're
celebrating today. And he might wonder, how do I celebrate this day?
(06:55):
What do I do? We'll carrya towel with you everywhere, yes,
and never know any might need it. Hitchhiker's God or read a bunch of
stuff. It's just cameras on me, which is totally fun, like read

Yeah? But people love it.People do love it. I even
thought the movie was pretty funny.I think people that love the book the
movie was not what they were hopingfor. But I thought the movie was
funny. So you know, forwhat it's what's the book about. It's
(07:38):
a really crazy sci fi book.That's the best way to describe it.
And it's just like the meaning oflife, and and it's British, very
British, very British humor. Ilove a good sci fi. It's got
most deaf. The movie has mostdeaf, and it's got the guy who
Martin Freeman, who was the leadin The British Office, the Good Office,
you know, the one um anduh, it's got those two of
the leads. But it's almost likeSam Rockwell and a lot a lot of
(08:00):
other fun stuff. Okay, okay, okay, well attitude the long list

mean Signs, Signs is that?Yeah, I guess that's sci fi obviously.
Yeah. Um, Alien is reallygood. Star Wars and Star Trek,
(08:41):
you know, have their moments.Um. I really love a movie
called Moon with Sam Rockwell. It'svery sci fi. Um, if you
want comedy, I think Galaxy Questis a super funny, underrated movie.
Have you ever seen Galaxy Quest?Now that one's less surprising, you know,
because came out when you were likeeight. But it's a riot.
(09:03):
I think you'd really enjoy yourself.It's got Tony Shaloup Rockwell, it's got
Tim Allen, the League with SigourneyWeaver, Um, Alan Rickman, Snape
from Marry Potter's in it. It'sfun, fun time, big crew.
Yeah. I think they're gonna makea TV show. Really yep, with
the whole game. Well, AlanRickman's no longer with us, but I
think Tim Allen, Yeah, well, what has he got to do?
(09:24):
Nothing? Yeah, Sigourney Weaver,it's been in the works for I don't
know about Shaloup, but the showJungle out there, do you know the
premise. They're on a TV showlike Star Trek, and they've been the
show's been over for years and years, and they just do these things and
they show up and they signed thestuff, and Tim Allen's like the Captain
Kirk and he's just over it andhe has the rest of the cast doesn't
(09:46):
like him. And it turns outthat all of it's real, Like a
group of Aliens found hit the TVshow and thought that it was historical documents,
and so they craft the ship basedupon the TV show, and they
craft everything based upon how it wasdone on the TV show. And they
(10:07):
show up on planet Earth because they'rein trouble, and the cast goes aboard
the ship to help them and goesout in the outer space with them.
Wow. Yeah, really something.It's wild sounds great, but it's fun.
It's it's a lot of fun.It's definitely, it's definitely a fun
time. So Tim Allens was greatthere for a minute for a minute there.
Do you know, Look, TimAllens, I think he's reprehensible personally
(10:30):
to each his own. You cannotdeny his comedic timing. His comedic timing,
like when he delivers lines and howhe delivers them for what it is
is really funny, Like I giveLast Minute Standing a hard time and all
this, but like the guy thestick, he does he does it well.
Yeah, I never saw Last ManStanding because I you know, I
(10:54):
watched some of it. I didwhen it came out of watch it when
you have Home Improvement, perfect television, Like why early on in that show
and I didn't watch I watched thebeginning of it. I heard they changed
it, but early on literally hehas a vlog and he runs a outdoor
store and he has a vlog wherehe talks to people about the thing.
(11:15):
Like it's like tool time acceptance avlog. It is uncanny the similarities.
No, he does not. Hedoes a little bit about like you're those
things. But you know I didn't. It was It's not good. It's
a bad, bad television show.It's classic Tim classic Tim Ellen. I

was a ton of fun, somuch fun. Yeah, people are talking
(12:20):
about the book, but I lovethe movie. Colleen's is Orphan Black.
Orphan Black is an incredibly great performance. Uh Tatiana Man's lane. I believe
it gives an unreal performance. Soperformance is she plays like five or six
characters an Enders Game. People reallylike it. High Dune from Umi Peters
