three WMMR. Good

1:03

morning. The best of Preston and

1:05

Steve the gang on vacation recoup

1:07

flying solo this morning. I

1:11

stumbled upon this great Reddit

1:13

thread and I wanted to throw this

1:16

out there and see if people could

1:18

contribute to this because these are some

1:20

great stories and that the article

1:23

is people are sharing the things that they lied

1:25

about as kids. So now you

1:27

might think you lied about oh, you know, I

1:29

know I didn't break that vase or whatever some

1:32

kind of an excuse. This is

1:34

not that these are kids who

1:36

made up lies about themselves and

1:38

I mean some some pretty whopper

1:40

some pretty solid and had to

1:44

run with it for a while now give you a couple of

1:46

examples and then I want to open up the phones and see

1:48

if people can share because I think there are a few people

1:51

that really try to get away with some

1:53

stuff and and weren't able to so here's

1:55

a good example. This one says the lie

1:58

was my The twin sister

2:00

and I were not twins, we were

2:03

triplets, but we weren't supposed to talk

2:05

about the other one. There

2:08

you go. And she said, I convinced

2:10

my class and my teacher of that,

2:12

which resulted in the teacher reporting it

2:14

as a safeguarding issue and the rest

2:16

of the year struggling to keep a

2:18

straight face. So they were able to get away

2:20

with it for a while. I don't know. Is it at any

2:22

good age? It doesn't at any good age. Mine

2:25

was just with one specific person.

2:28

It wasn't like the whole class, but there

2:30

was a girl in my neighborhood that I,

2:32

I mean, it was like, it

2:35

might've been like years that I convinced her that

2:37

I was Kathy's cousin from

2:39

Spain. You were your

2:42

own cousin from Spain? I was Kathy's cousin from Spain.

2:44

Right. Did you call her or something?

2:46

No, I would go down to her house and play

2:48

with her and speak Spanish. Shut up.

2:50

Faux Spanish, right? Yeah, faux Spanish. And

2:53

then I would have my other cousin from New York

2:55

who would come down and she would spend like summers

2:57

with us, weeks, you know, vacations, whatever. And

3:00

so she would come with me a lot. And so she

3:02

was in on it and she was like, no, no, no,

3:04

no, yeah, Kathy's not here. This is her cousin

3:07

Mary. So I was Mary from Spain. God. Oh

3:10

my God. You could have married Alex Baldwin. Wow. Yeah.

3:14

All right. So this wasn't me doing this, but

3:16

this was done to me. All right. And I

3:18

honestly didn't realize this until years later.

3:20

Okay. So I think I was in

3:22

seventh grade way too old to have

3:24

been able to pull over my house.

3:28

But these two girls I was friends with and we were

3:30

friends for, you know how like in

3:32

middle school or grade school, your friends, really close friends

3:34

with somebody from maybe year two and they just,

3:36

you move on. They just feel like, yeah. So these

3:38

two girls, I was really good friends with my Cindy

3:41

and I want to say Stephanie, I can't remember. Sarah,

3:43

well that I can't remember. But anyhow,

3:45

they had convinced me that

3:49

they were both witches, that

3:51

they were legitimate witches, not

3:54

like wiccan writers like spells

3:57

and being able to grab.

4:00

And they said that they could move

4:02

things with their mind. Right.

4:07

And they could also tell the future. And

4:10

I believed them. I just flat out believed

4:12

them. You believe them, believe them? I believe

4:14

them. I believed them, believed them. Wow. I

4:17

did. And so they had tried

4:19

to. We're in the middle of class and

4:22

one of them said that she could move, you know,

4:24

like paper, like paper by just looking

4:27

at it. Oh, God. In

4:29

the middle of class. So my teacher is teaching in class

4:31

and somehow or another we're community. They were a few

4:33

chairs over. So she laid this piece paper

4:35

on the ground and was going to do it.

4:37

But we're also having a teacher teaching class. So I'm paying attention

4:39

to the teacher. I'm looking down at this piece of paper. I'm

4:41

paying attention to the teacher. I'm looking down at this piece of

4:43

paper. And when I looked away,

4:45

she must have moved it. And I thought it

4:47

moved. Oh, there's only one way this could have

4:50

happened. She used her mind. I'm such an idiot.

4:52

Mind bullets. I used to do that with my

4:54

brother and a fork. And I would say that

4:56

I had the only fork that had a hole

4:58

in it. And I would suck the corn up

5:00

through the fork. Through the fork. But obviously I

5:02

put the corn in my mouth and every and

5:04

he'd be like, no, no, let me try. And

5:07

I mean, it was every time we ate. I tortured

5:09

him. You guys were in college at the time. All

5:11

right. Here's the fork straw. Let

5:13

me get a couple more of these before we go to

5:15

calls because these are going to be good ones. I'm

5:18

sure this one says in second

5:20

grade. I told my friends that

5:22

Hannah Montana was based on my

5:24

life. See, that's you

5:26

can do that. If

5:30

you're going to tell a

5:33

fib like that, that can sit in

5:35

the realm of, well, maybe, you know,

5:37

the dad knows the producer and maybe

5:40

the story is something foundational.

5:42

It could be. So, yeah, sometimes you

5:44

got to make it big. Go big

5:46

to make it believable. This one says

5:48

in nursery school, I can miss my

5:50

teachers. I could speak Nigerian, which isn't

5:52

actually a language. And

5:54

I read a whole book to them. And when my

5:57

mom picked me up, they were like, oh my God,

5:59

Ada is so. March, she read us a

6:01

whole book in your native tongue and translated

6:03

it on the spot. Oh my

6:05

God. And my mom was like, what

6:07

the F are you talking about? That's

6:09

great. And my lie completely unraveled. Nigerian.

6:11

Here's one that says, I told people

6:13

I had a sister who got lost

6:15

in the park and was never found.

6:17

Wow. It seems like missing brothers and

6:19

sisters. They said she ran away

6:22

from me during a game and I looked

6:24

for her for ages and then I just

6:26

went home. And you think, so now

6:28

that we're in these stories, the kids pretended they had

6:30

siblings so they didn't. Do you think

6:32

that Elvis lied about having a twin? Oh, maybe.

6:34

Yeah, that's my twin, man. Want to die to

6:37

birth? Yeah. What happened? My

6:39

hands are shark-bitted. Another one says, I

6:41

once made up an elaborate lie that

6:43

my family and I had traveled to

6:45

Scotland where I saw the Loch Ness

6:47

Monster. And then they went

6:50

on to say, I have never been

6:52

to Scotland in my life. Did you

6:54

ever tell a fib in school where,

6:56

because again, like in this Goldberg episode,

6:58

he's eventually confronted by everybody. He says,

7:00

show us the proof. Did

7:03

you ever get caught up that way? I

7:05

mean, did the girls that are sure that

7:07

I did, but I can't remember anything right

7:09

now. I'll say it'll probably come to me

7:12

during this conversation. I think

7:14

it was Lake Hong Kong, come on Long Island.

7:16

And I blurted out some number about

7:18

how deep I thought it was. And

7:21

then everyone looked at me and I stuck to my guns. Like,

7:23

yeah, it's got to be 5,000 feet deep. And

7:28

then suddenly, OK, OK. And

7:31

I could tell one guy, Sal didn't quite

7:33

believe me, and then he came back with

7:35

charts. Oh, no. Well,

7:40

maybe I maybe overspoke. Yeah, about

7:42

5,000. All right, let me

7:44

get some calls. I'll go to Steph. We'll start

7:46

there. Hi, Steph. You're on the air.

7:49

Good morning. Hi, guys. I'm

7:51

the person who adopted precious from you. Oh,

7:53

my God. She adopted it. Thank

7:56

you so much for doing that. You're a wonderful cat parent. Is that

7:58

one of your children? Oh, is it from my children? We

8:00

abandoned our children right off the gotcha. What's up

8:02

Steph? My last name

8:05

is vitro and all through junior high school.

8:07

I told everybody I was named after

8:09

the doctor Who created in vitro fertilization?

8:17

Successful in vitro kit. I

8:19

assume in vitro is not named after a person

8:21

right? It's actually in vitro. It's a body right?

8:23

In vitro. In vitro fertilization. Oh

8:26

my god, Stephanie and they bought it and you carried it

8:28

on. I carried it on until

8:30

I went to a different high school. No one

8:32

ever called me out and the payback was when

8:34

I got older and I eventually got pregnant. The

8:37

in vitro fertilization jokes have been non-stop.

8:40

That's great. And you picked a good one to lie

8:42

about because people just went to the legwork on it.

8:45

Yeah, yeah. No, they could. There was no way they

8:47

could. It was the 80s and 90s. Yeah,

8:49

yeah, yeah. You didn't have the internet to go look

8:51

at it real quick. All right. Thank you, Steph. Appreciate

8:54

that. We'll go next to

8:56

Barbara. Hey Barbara. Good morning. Hey,

8:58

how you doing? Great. What's up, Barbara? My

9:01

daughter, she's now 17, but when she

9:03

was really little like kindergarten, first grade, second

9:05

grade, she would tell everybody that she had

9:07

an older brother named Justin and we

9:09

would go to school functions and stuff and

9:11

people would be like, Where's your other son? You know, where does

9:14

he go to school and stuff? And my husband and I were

9:16

like, what the hell are you talking about? Do

9:18

you think that's common for an

9:20

only child to pretend

9:22

to lie about having a sibling? I

9:25

do. I do. They would

9:27

always make you fill out like these

9:29

art projects, like, you know, about your

9:31

family and stuff. And so she didn't have

9:33

much to put in there and we had no pets, you

9:36

know, so she had nothing. So she made up Justin.

9:38

Yeah, I see that. I'll bet that's a common

9:40

one. Yeah. Making up a sibling or something like

9:42

that, Barbara. Or

9:44

the other one, which we saw like making up one

9:48

that disappeared or you're not allowed

9:50

to talk about. Adding

9:52

that element of not being allowed

9:54

to talk about is ingenious. Yeah.

9:56

I will go next to Dana.

9:59

Good morning. One

10:02

of the guys you guys rocked. Appreciate it. What's

10:04

up, man? Hey, so I

10:06

hated school so much even in elementary

10:08

school that I randomly got a

10:11

bloody nose one day. It was

10:13

like a legitimate one and they sent me to the nurse and made a

10:15

big deal about it. I'm like, Oh my

10:17

God, this is this is great. I don't need to lie about like

10:19

needing a tummy tab. So I used

10:21

to open my flip top desk and just

10:23

punch myself in the nose to get bloody

10:25

noses. You would punch yourself in the nose

10:28

to get a bloody nose to get out

10:30

of class. Yes. And

10:32

you know, it made sense back then. I

10:34

thought I was like the king and then

10:36

I grew up and realized how disturbing that

10:38

is. Yeah, you're

10:41

self mutilating. That's true. On the

10:43

surface, man, your parents would be

10:45

quite concerned over who's

10:48

punching themselves in the face.

10:50

Yeah. I got to

10:52

the point where they actually had to take

10:54

me to Philly to get blood work and

10:56

look into all these tests. And

10:58

then I didn't come clean, but I

11:01

was just randomly the nose bleeds

11:03

went away. And then when I got older,

11:05

I was like, Hey, I used

11:07

to punch myself in the nose. You

11:10

fessed up. How did they react to

11:12

that? We were all drinking. So it

11:14

was a life conversation. You

11:18

let enough time lapse where you were able

11:20

to drink and tell them, Oh, I

11:23

waited a long time because it got really

11:25

serious. But I'm like, Oh my God, I'm

11:27

out of school doctor's appointment. I'm a hemophiliac.

11:29

Yeah. Yeah. But all the kids

11:31

at school were like, are you all right? And I'm like, I have

11:33

a blood thing. I don't know what to tell you. You

11:36

reminded me of a story from elementary

11:38

school, but it was in, it was

11:41

catechism. It was on the weekends. We

11:43

go to our instruction and

11:46

a kid had a bloody nose. And

11:48

I forget, we had

11:50

must've talked about stigmata. And

11:53

so he trailed blood out of

11:55

his arm. I know. Like he's

11:57

bleeding his crying blood. because

12:00

you can see your index fingers have blood

12:03

on them as well. Wow. All right. I

12:05

gotta go to this one. Hi Dawn. Good

12:07

morning. Good morning. Hey,

12:10

good morning. What's up Dawn? So

12:13

when I was a kid I lived

12:15

directly across the street from a

12:17

playground and because I'm

12:19

impatient youngest child syndrome I told the

12:21

kids that my dad owns the playground

12:24

so I would get prime real estate on

12:26

whatever I wanted. Oh you had dibs on

12:28

everything because your dad owned the park. Oh

12:30

yeah my dad owned the park totally. Oh

12:33

that's great. And I best friend across the

12:35

street so he would totally buy into it

12:37

so he knew he was getting second place

12:39

on the playground. Oh my gosh. That's

12:41

how you sell it. It's the thing,

12:43

the long con. That's the best. Yeah.

12:45

All right. Thank you Dawn. I would shove

12:48

them right off. I love it. I

12:50

love it. Hey I own this damn

12:52

park. Here's a text and I'm gonna have

12:54

a hard time saying this but I'll try it

12:56

says my middle name is Ann. I

12:58

told a classmate that my

13:00

middle name was

13:03

Anjekaniki Naka.

13:06

My mom even helped me forge a fake birth certificate

13:08

and she says don't even ask why because I don't

13:14

know. Anjekanaka? An-An-Jek-An-N-K-E-N-A-K-A.

13:17

Oh my god.

13:19

When you get

13:22

your parents in on it and

13:24

they go with it. Oh no. That was their

13:26

middle name. But there are two types so there's

13:28

the I'm gonna scam it. I'm gonna pull the

13:30

wool over their eyes and the when

13:33

you're young so young that you

13:35

just blurred out things and you're committed

13:38

sort of a quasi lie you know.

13:40

Yeah. It's a tall tale. Yeah yeah.

13:43

Right? Yeah. I like that. We'll go

13:45

to Carissa next. Hey Carissa good morning.

13:48

Good morning. Hey what's up? What's the word?

13:50

The word is you're gonna tell us a little

13:53

story here about

13:55

a lie that you got away with when you were

13:58

a kid or tried to. A big one. Yeah. So

14:01

when I was in second grade, I

14:03

convinced my entire class that I was

14:05

adopted. I am not

14:07

adopted. I guess

14:09

eventually my teacher said something to my mom and

14:12

she had to come into my classroom and tell

14:14

everybody how I was not actually adopted.

14:17

And so what was that like?

14:20

I'm sure you were right there when that happened, right?

14:23

Yeah, I mean, I don't remember too much about that.

14:25

I remember the fact that I thought being adopted was

14:27

cool and I was getting everybody to go along with

14:30

that and that was great. Yeah,

14:32

I'll adopt. I bet you that's one

14:34

that gets run through the wringer

14:36

a lot as well. Yeah, I got it in a

14:38

different way. My sister had

14:40

convinced me that I was adopted.

14:44

And that was fun. That's the cruel

14:46

trick you play on a sibling. Oh yeah, yeah. You're

14:48

not even, your mom and dad, you're not even there,

14:50

kid. You're adopted. You were an afterthought.

14:53

Yeah, totally. They got stuck with you. I got that

14:55

one quite a bit. There was a whole daddies condom.

14:58

No, I'm not. Let's

15:00

go next to Kevin. Kevin,

15:03

good morning. Morning. What's up,

15:05

Kevin? You're all rock. Thank

15:07

you. I appreciate it. All right.

15:10

What's your, what'd you try to get away with this, this

15:12

lie for no reason other than you were lying? So

15:15

it wasn't me. It was my best friend to

15:17

this day about when we were in third grade.

15:20

He was running around the yard chasing

15:23

his little brother right at the last

15:25

second. His brother threw the screen door

15:27

closed, glass window. His hand

15:29

went right through it. He got 27 stitches

15:31

on his arm in

15:34

a complete perfect, what looked

15:36

like a shark bite and lied about

15:38

it to this day about

15:40

him going on vacation in Hawaii or something

15:42

and getting bit by a shark. He'll

15:45

talk about this. Yeah. And

15:48

I think the shark bite thing is one that's going to come up

15:50

a bit for kids. Shark bite.

15:52

Yes, absolutely. I'd go for

15:54

a little bit more celibately and maybe say

15:56

like an eel or something that's a way

15:58

shark is so. Stereotypical a

16:01

Yeti bite a Yeti bite. Yeah, even

I've got a huge three. Oh, look at that. Oh my

17:37

god. Is your mom still with us? Yes.

17:40

Okay, you got it to me. Got a dollar and

17:42

tell her today Family

17:45

name a lot of middle names are family names

17:48

You know what? I didn't even think about giving it to

17:50

any of my kids. You should have I was just gonna

17:52

ask that question Mom

17:54

fail. Yeah Thank

17:57

you, Jen. We appreciate you sharing. Take care. We'll give

17:59

it to you She should give it to her twin sibling

18:01

who never existed. Let's see.

18:04

So this is lies when you're a kid, but

18:06

I think Casey has a lie when they were

18:08

an adult. Casey, good morning. Good

18:10

morning. Hi, Casey. Hi. So

18:13

it did start when I was younger, but when I

18:15

was a baby, I had this surgery

18:17

in my abdomen and stomach area. So I left

18:19

like a really, really deep scar. So

18:22

when I was younger, I would tell

18:25

people I got stabbed. That's a good one. I tried

18:27

by stabbing, you know? So that kind of went into

18:29

adulthood. You know, you're drinking, you meet a new person.

18:32

They're like, what is that? I'm like, oh my God,

18:34

I got stabbed. But I met somebody recently, I forget

18:36

who it was. They were like, why don't you start

18:38

telling people that you woke up like in a bathtub

18:40

full of ice? And

18:42

an organ was stolen. You're missing an organ.

18:44

Yeah, that's a good one. So

18:46

that's my new one. Oh my goodness. All

18:48

the urban legends. So when you used

18:50

to tell the story that you were stabbed,

18:53

did you like describe the stabber or anything

18:55

like that? I had a different story

18:57

every time. When I was younger, it definitely different story

18:59

every single time. Like it was always like, that's a

19:01

big thing. I thought it was funny to say it

19:03

was a drive-by stabbing. I love it. You

19:05

know, I just got hooked real quick. Yeah, they just

19:07

jump out and they stab away and then get back

19:09

in the car. Thank you, Casey. So what's the case

19:11

with Tina Fey? That happened to her in Upper Garvey.

19:13

Yeah, I think she was in her other front yard

19:16

or something like that. Somebody came out and slashed her

19:18

face. That's why she has this scar. There

19:20

you go. There you go. Let's

19:22

see. All right, I'm gonna go

19:25

to Ken. Hey

19:27

Ken, good morning. Hey, good

19:29

morning everybody. Morning bud. All right, we're talking

19:31

about kids telling a lie that

19:34

is a big one. It's not necessarily like an

19:36

excuse for something, just a flat out lie

19:38

they tried to get away with. And what is

19:40

either yours, Ken? All right, so

19:43

in high school, I'm like 15 and

19:46

there's a buddy of mine that was

19:48

a practical joker dipping

19:50

into being a pathological

19:52

liar. Yeah. So

19:56

I'm getting into like metal that's like going

19:58

on that time, you know. White Zombie

20:00

Pantera. And he

20:03

introduces me to this band and he says,

20:05

you know, this is my brother's band. They're

20:07

awesome, you gotta check them out. I'm like,

20:09

okay, cool. So he throws on System of

20:11

the Down. Oh no. They're

20:14

not on the radar at that point. The first album

20:16

just came out, he's got it on cassette. You like

20:18

to borrow it. I go around

20:20

it, I'm telling everybody under the sun that

20:22

I've gone into, you know, it's my buddy's

20:25

brother's band. It's a drummer, gotta check it

20:27

out. I went on for like two

20:29

to three years. And eventually

20:31

someone's like, dude, they're from California.

20:33

They're not from around here. And

20:37

yeah, so. Oh man, had

20:39

Chop Suey hit or anything like that

20:41

at that point? It definitely, well,

20:44

no. Well, no, I don't think that was the

20:46

last one. Not at the beginning, yeah, right, right.

20:48

Well, you could get away with it, at least

20:50

for a grace period, it at least started to

20:52

click. Bonnie, Ken, did you ever call your buddy

20:54

out on this? Yeah,

20:56

but the damage was done. All right, I got

20:58

it. That's nothing you can do. Can't get back

21:01

those two years. I'll go to some other calls,

21:03

but let me give you a few of these

21:05

other examples from this Reddit thread, because these are

21:07

great. Here's a gal that said, I

21:10

would tell people I turned into a mermaid

21:12

at night. Oh yeah, that's, yeah.

21:14

And she said, I would clutch the wall

21:16

dramatically and say my legs were turning into

21:18

a tail and I needed to figure out

21:21

how to stop it happening

21:23

out of water. So that was

21:25

a lie. I like this one too.

21:27

And this is obviously when she was a kid in the 90s,

21:29

she said, the lie was that I

21:31

had recently found out that posh spice was

21:33

my half sister. Oh, that's exciting. That is

21:35

very cool. She said I was obsessed with

21:38

baby spice. So I thought that would be

21:40

too obvious to say. Don't go

21:42

with the spice goal you really like. And

21:44

I decided as posh spice wasn't

21:46

my fave, people would be more

21:48

likely to believe me. My father

21:50

is ginger spices dry cleaner. Another

21:53

person said, I told my grade school friends

21:55

that I was allergic to water for no

21:57

reason at all. They

21:59

thought that I- I had never had a bath and

22:01

I really just rolled with that for years. Another

22:05

one says, a girl told me

22:07

and my friend that she got

22:09

squashed flat by a bus once.

22:13

And we all believed her. Oh my God.

22:15

Yeah, okay, sure, why not? And

22:17

then one more. I've got several of these

22:20

examples, by the way. And this says,

22:23

I told everyone, including teachers who

22:25

had my records, that my name

22:27

was Plum. And Plum, why?

22:32

Why? Yeah, my real name

22:34

is Plum. I don't know. As Professor Plum?

22:36

It seemed like the right thing to do.

22:39

I will go next to

22:42

Jess for one of these. Hi Jess, you're on

22:44

the air. Good morning. Good morning. How

22:46

are you guys? Great Jess. All right, so what's

22:48

this lie you want to tell us about? Sure.

22:51

So, and my daughter actually just realized we were

22:53

lying to her for years. So

22:56

we, she currently ate and for the

22:58

past, man, I would say four years,

23:01

anytime we take a car ride, whether it's

23:03

a road trip or a 10 minute drive,

23:05

we made her believe that she from

23:07

the backseat can say next song

23:10

and we'll go ahead and click that button on our

23:12

steering wheel. And

23:15

just yesterday we were taking a

23:17

trip and now she told her she can sit

23:19

in the front and she saw me doing

23:21

that. And she looked at me and she

23:23

said, man, my whole life is a lie. So

23:27

it's easier to put one over on

23:29

a kid. Yeah. All right. Thank

23:32

you. You can convince them you stole their note.

23:34

Yeah. I put a, I put money into a

23:36

vending machine and I went and I told my son that if

23:38

you touch every single button on the vending machine all at once,

23:41

something will come out. And so he went over and

23:43

did it. And because I had already put money in

23:45

the vending machine, stuff came out and he believed that

23:47

he thought it was the greatest thing. All right. That's

23:50

a good one. Linda has a good one. No,

23:53

Linda. Good morning. Hi, Linda.

23:55

All right. Hi. So

23:58

my daughter who. graduated

24:00

high school in 2017, told her religion

24:02

teacher at the time that her grandmother,

24:08

my mother, who was born in

24:10

Argentina dated the Pope when he

24:13

was a bouncer. When

24:15

he was a bouncer at a

24:17

bar? Is any

24:19

of that true? Was he a bouncer? He

24:23

was a bouncer, yes he was a bouncer at

24:25

the bars. My

24:28

mother did not date him. You

24:30

know the new Pope? My mother dated him.

24:32

How did you find out, Linda? She

24:35

told me because it got

24:37

so bad that the teacher

24:39

was so excited they called the

24:42

other teachers. And

24:44

the teachers were like, oh my god, your

24:46

grandmother dated the Pope? And

24:50

then she had to tell my mom,

24:52

and my mom was so embarrassed that

24:54

my daughter lied. She was like,

24:56

I can't enter that school ever

24:58

again because she was afraid that

25:00

someone was going to come up to her and tell

25:03

her, you know, how was it dating

25:05

the Pope? She's getting the Pope to

25:08

play the prom. Oh my god. That's

25:10

like, these kids are creatives. Yeah, that's

25:12

insanely creative. Think

25:15

of the extra perks you'd get if you were in some

25:18

way connected to the Pope. And this was in high school,

25:20

right, Linda? This was in high

25:22

school. She graduated in 2017, yes. Can

25:24

it be even tough for the Pope? It'd

25:26

have to be really good to pull off, I'm

25:28

dating the current Pope. Let me go to Cindy.

25:31

Hi, Cindy. Good morning. Good

25:34

morning. Hey, what's

25:36

up, Cindy? Cindy!

25:39

So I have a cousin who I think is a little crazy. But

25:42

in college, she gave an interview

25:44

to the school newspaper claiming to

25:46

be part Native American

25:48

and told stories about how she used

25:51

to spend her summers on the reservation.

25:53

She was the only blond-haired, blue-eyed girl

25:55

there. And so was she up to

25:57

speed on Native American? American

26:00

cultures could she fudge the facts a

26:02

little bit? Not at

26:04

all. We also didn't realize that we had

26:06

a family member who was an alumni and

26:09

got the newsletter so we made

26:11

copies for the Christmas party. Oh

26:13

my goodness. That's hilarious Cindy. Just

26:15

a flat out lie. Oh my

26:17

god. Alright thank you we appreciate

26:20

it. Let's see

26:22

I will go

26:24

to, let me get

26:26

Roger next. Hey Raj you're on the

26:29

air bud. Morning guys how are

26:31

you today? Great man what's up? So

26:34

in elementary school

26:36

my mom married my stepdad you

26:39

know the Brady Bunch type thing. Right. And

26:41

you know I took my dad's last name

26:44

so my birthday was May 31st 1971. I had a

26:46

older step sibling her birthday was

26:52

June 6 1971.

26:54

So we used to go around and tell people that

26:56

my mom gave birth to us six days of birth.

26:58

Yeah. Oh my god. Thank you. You were hanging out

27:00

there in the birth canal for an additional

27:06

six days. And they didn't know. Yeah. Now

27:08

we counted all four years and eventually after

27:10

we graduated out of elementary school you know

27:12

we kind of just brought the whole gag.

27:14

So that's our little lie.

27:17

I love it. Hey there's another baby in

27:19

there did you know? Thank you Roger. I

27:21

appreciate it. Look I'm gonna come back to

27:23

some of these calls but I want to go through

27:25

a few of these other ones that I have here. This

27:27

one says my last name was Lee. So

27:30

I told people I was related to Bruce

27:32

Lee. My cover was blown when Brandon

27:34

Lee died and kids kept saying that my cousin

27:36

had died and I said I don't have a

27:38

cousin named Brandon. Come on man. Professor

27:40

look at this text that just came in as you

27:43

were reading that. All right this says

27:45

to clarify a previous text about my

27:47

maiden name Ping Lee. As a kid I

27:49

told people that Bruce Lee is a cousin

27:51

of mine and I sometimes

27:54

still say it as an adult

27:56

and people believe me. That's crazy.

27:58

That is. This

28:00

one says, when I was 10 or

28:02

11, I told my friends that

28:04

I had a parent who would tell me when

28:07

my favorite TV show was on, where

28:09

did I get that from you ask? No

28:11

clue. So for whatever reason, they

28:13

felt it was the lie to tell. Another

28:16

one said, I tried to convince people that I was

28:18

nocturnal and that I only slept one hour a night.

28:21

I tell them I was a night crawler and I

28:23

didn't know at the time that literally means a worm.

28:26

And I also couldn't whistle when I

28:28

was a little kid and it made

28:31

me jealous. So I would just go,

28:33

tell people that my whistle just sounded

28:35

different. It's actually valid. Here's

28:38

a good one. I would

28:40

tell people as a lie that I was a

28:42

conjoined twin and that we had been

28:44

separated and she went to a different

28:46

school because she got into a different

28:48

school and I didn't. I

28:50

have no idea why I said it and

28:52

no one ever questioned it. So you hear

28:54

these things and they interest you when

28:56

you're a kid, they're like, oh, that sounds kind of

28:58

cool. And then I guess in

29:01

the heat of some situation, you say,

29:03

why? A conjoined twin. Here's

29:06

one, Kathy, this would be

29:08

similar to something, although not

29:10

an African princess, but I could

29:13

see you try and pull this off. I told

29:15

all the girls in my class that I was

29:17

an African princess and they were supposed to call

29:19

me your Heinen. And

29:21

whenever they forgot to, I said I would

29:24

let it slide because I wasn't like those

29:26

other princesses. We

29:28

just moved to a new town and I was

29:31

one of three black kids in my school. My

29:33

little brother included a couple of the girls, believe

29:35

me, and even started following

29:37

me around. Oh, that's the best.

29:40

All right. I'll go next to Robert. Hey,

29:42

Robert, morning. Good morning.

29:44

You guys rock. Thank you, sir. What's

29:47

up, my man? All right. So this

29:50

happened when I was two years old, but it

29:52

was such a traumatic experience that the story still

29:54

goes around today. You got to remember

29:56

the error, too. This happened in the sixties where my

29:58

father works for a dude. formulating paint.

30:01

Okay. Like Chaka Yellow, Mcconaughey's

30:03

Green Cow, Sock, Mercikah Soap.

30:06

My older siblings convinced my older sister

30:09

that when she turned 12 years old

30:11

because she was found as a baby

30:13

in the daughter and she was actually

30:15

a black baby. Oh my God. My

30:18

father created a special paint and

30:20

made her white but when she turned 12 years

30:22

old the paint was going to wear off and

30:24

we were going to have to give her back.

30:26

Oh my goodness. On her 12th

30:29

birthday the story is that

30:31

she broke down crying because she refused to

30:33

blow her candles out on the cake. Oh

30:36

my goodness. And the family anymore. Oh

30:38

my goodness Robert. And everything and then

30:40

my mother like went to go find

30:42

out what was happening and you know

30:44

the story came out because she says

30:46

I don't want to turn black and

30:48

I don't want to go back to

30:51

the gutter this and the other thing

30:53

and I know that my older siblings

30:55

were taking to the Christmas that year.

30:57

Oh wow. Yeah. That's brutal. That's a

30:59

pretty harsh thing so mom and dad could

31:01

not have been happy about that. Wow. Oh

31:04

what a little prank. Right? Yeah. My

31:06

sister is 62 years old and the story still

31:09

goes around. I'll bet. I'll bet. I'm sure. I

31:12

love this story. This one says I told kids

31:14

at my school that I was

31:16

a vampire and that school

31:19

was my that school was my punishment

31:21

for killing someone. So that

31:25

seems to work. Someone we're

31:27

enrolling you in a school.

31:30

Kids would knock on my door after school

31:32

and I'd beg my parents to tell them

31:34

that I was sleeping in her basement. Oh

31:36

my god. Let's see we only have time

31:39

for a couple of more and let's see

31:45

I'm gonna go to

31:47

Chris. Hey Chris good morning. Oh

31:51

same to you. What's up Chris? So

31:53

back in the day I think probably later in

31:55

elementary school I got into a fight and

31:58

you know I end up breaking I think

32:00

it's like that. It's metacarpal in your

32:02

hand. Doctors, I don't know. It

32:05

was the 80s. So

32:07

I told my mom that I got into this gnarly

32:10

BMX bike action going off of

32:12

a ramp. Okay. That's

32:14

to keep you from getting in trouble with

32:16

your mom. Right? If you

32:19

said you were a world champion

32:21

BMX racer, that would be a

32:23

little bit more problematic. Yeah, it was late

32:25

80s. Brad was already out. So it was a great, you

32:27

know, an ad. We

32:30

went to the doctors and the doctor just looked at

32:33

me like, dude, are you kidding? That's

32:35

right. All right. Thanks. Yeah,

32:37

of course. Yeah. All right. And then

32:40

this other one that we got to take

32:42

a break. This Reddit thread person

32:44

said in kindergarten, I was obsessed

32:47

with Titanic. I had a necklace

32:49

that looked like the heart of the ocean. So

32:51

of course, I told everyone it's the real heart.

32:55

And they said a kid wearing a

32:57

20 million dollar necklace. Sure. Yeah. And

32:59

people will buy it. All right. Very

33:01

interesting and very creative on some of

33:04

these as well. Yeah. And what kids

33:06

will come up with as a lie

33:08

and they just kids. They

33:12

will stick to it and go

33:14

hold their spot and make sure that people

33:16

believe what they have to say. But

33:19

thank you for sharing. We do appreciate that. We're going

33:21

to take a quick break. We're going to come back

33:23

I'm Stephen Singer. Yep that's me the

34:29

I hate Stephen Singer guy. Why do other

34:31

jewelers hate me? I'm a nice guy because other

34:33

jewelers just want to throw up when you ask

34:35

can I trade in my old diamond studs? Why?

34:38

I guess it's because they're in the business of

34:40

selling. I'm in the love business. I love to

34:42

see my friends come back and trade in their

34:44

old diamond studs. It's true. You can start with

34:46

any size and upgrade them for a bigger pair

34:48

anytime you want. Get exactly what you paid. Not

34:51

only do other jewelers not want you to trade

34:53

in your diamond studs but even if they do

34:55

they don't give you back what you paid. Why

34:57

are their diamonds worth less? Oops. Come see me.

49:23

come across a clearing, and then the middle of it

49:25

is a turt. The first guy takes off running to

49:27

it thinking they're saved. As he gets close to shotgun,

49:29

he falls over wounded. He

49:32

screams back to his friend, look out. It's

49:35

not a bacon tree. It's a hand bush. I

Me too. It's like the language. Too farcy. No,

51:29

too farty. Farty. Too farcy. A fart in

51:31

51:34

farts, farts, farts. Farts are not stopping.

That's a dad joke. If you're

just tuning in, why are we doing this? An

53:11

article that talks about dad jokes essentially being a

53:13

good thing for your kids. If you embarrass your kids with dad jokes,

53:15

she's just on how to be resilient. My

53:19

kids like dad jokes. They think they're

53:21

funny. Yours, I'm sure do too. It

53:23

doesn't embarrass them. I'm

53:26

sure you do. Okay. Yeah, it doesn't embarrass them. Let's

Eileen, that was it. Yeah. Okay,

56:09

so that was, yes, I mentioned earlier, it was

56:11

a phase, it was probably in like the early

56:15

1980s or something like that where those were kind of a

56:17

joke thing for a while. And

56:19

back it like, jokes come in and

56:21

out of fashion. Yeah. Or

56:23

at least styles of jokes do. And

56:27

we covered the knock knocks and those. Knock

56:29

56:47

say to start over. Hold on. Okay,

56:49

you ready? Yeah. You know

56:52

why Cinderella couldn't play for the NFL? No. She

56:54

kept running from the ball. The

56:58

ball, she was at. She had to run for

57:00

a minute. Yeah. I'm sorry,

57:02

I was just thinking what he said. I killed my wife. Sounded

57:07

like something was going on in the background. I

57:10

got a joke for you. I killed my wife. You shot my

57:12

brother. Yeah. Knock knock.

57:14

Who's there? I killed my wife.

57:18

I think he just did the best to it. Brian.

57:21

That's a joke. I

57:25

killed my, I killed your wife who? Our

57:27

name is Sarah. Here's

57:32

my written. That's the joke. Yeah, I killed

57:34

my wife who? Knock knock. Who's

57:36

there? I killed my wife. I killed

57:39

my wife who? Her name's Sarah. You

57:46

don't get it do you buddy? The other day, I saved from some of my favorite, um,

57:52

daily rush videos just because I love to go back

57:54

and just get a kick out or whatever we were

57:56

talking about that day. And one of them

57:58

is a series of. One's

58:00

a knock-knock joke, and another one was

58:03

a series of Russian jokes. And

58:06

Steve, you went into Rocky in Rocky

58:08

IV addressing the crowd. And

58:13

you do a Rocky knock-knock

58:15

set up. Still

58:17

to this day, never

58:20

fails to crack me up. And I may be

58:22

the only one that finds it funny, but

58:24

you go knock-knock, and I go, who's there?

58:26

And you go, Orange, and

58:29

Orange, and you just pause and you go,

58:32

Banana. That's

58:35

a Rocky joke. This

58:39

is so stupid, and so wonderfully,

58:41

him just cracks me up. Give

58:45

it up, Steve, give it up for me. That was your

58:47

job the other day. It was? Yep.

58:49

The intended version. The re-edited version. I need to

58:52

see that one. It is a percentage better. I

58:54

know you won't think it is because they took

58:56

out a lot of stuff you loved about it.

58:58

The problem is trying to remember all these things.

59:00

You need to have a good database. Get

59:03

it? Database? I

59:06

wasn't listening to those jokes. I was doing a lot of jokes. You

59:08

can't yawn and listen to the same joke. Honestly,

59:10

I can't hear very

59:12

well when yawning. Will you do it

59:14

again? No. For me and the

59:16

listening audience? No, you need a good place to store all these

59:19

jokes. You need a good

59:21

database. Thank

59:23

you, Marcus. We'll go to John.

59:27

John, good morning. What

59:34

was it? Wait,

59:36

I got it. Hang on. Banana.

59:38

Did you hear about the explosion at the

59:40

French cheese factory? The explosion

59:42

at the French cheese factory? No. There's

59:45

debris everywhere. Debris

59:48

is everywhere. Thank you, John. Appreciate

59:50

that. We've got

59:52

to take a break here in just a second. Let

59:54

me go to Sammy. This looks interesting. Hi, Sammy. Good

59:57

morning. All right, Sammy.

1:00:00

Sammy, hit us. What

1:00:02

is hotter, the Sahara Desert or

1:00:04

the circus? Well, I would say the

1:00:06

Sahara Desert. Yeah. Oh, but it

1:00:09

would be the circus because the heat is intense. The

1:00:12

heat is intense. Hilarious.

1:00:15

It's a circus joke, I like it. Thank you,

1:00:17

Sammy. Appreciate it. I heard a variation on that

1:00:19

joke, which was that you hear about

1:00:21

the circus fire, it was intense. Or,

1:00:23

there was also, I went to the

1:00:25

psychiatrist, he said, you're a teepee and

1:00:27

a wigwam. And I

1:00:29

said, what did I mean? He said, you're two tenths.

1:00:31

You're two tenths. I like the psychiatrist jokes for you

1:00:33

of, I went to the psychiatrist wearing

1:00:36

nothing but Saran Wrap and the psychiatrist looked at me and

1:00:38

said, well, I can clearly see your nuts. Hee, hee, hee,

1:00:40

hee. So, I'm like, the mechanic

1:00:42

goes to the psychiatrist, he goes, what do you do for a living? He

1:00:44

says, I'm a mechanic. He says, okay, get under the couch. Let

1:00:49

me go to Danielle. Hi, Danielle, good morning. Hi.

1:00:52

Hi. Hey, what's up, Danielle? How

1:00:54

are you? Good. Wonderful, we're fine

1:00:56

here, how are you? We're all fine. What's

1:00:58

up? So, here's my

1:01:00

dad joke. Okay. What do you

1:01:02

call three pigs rolling down the road? Three

1:01:05

pigs rolling down the road? I

1:01:07

don't know. Pork roll. That's

1:01:10

just straight and linear. That is. Yeah, there's

1:01:13

very little nuance there. I think, all

1:01:16

right, I think we should stop. We

1:01:18

should end it. We've done a fitting

1:01:20

tribute to embarrassing your kids to dad

1:01:23

jokes. But apparently, it's good for them.

1:01:25

If it embarrasses them, it's okay to

1:01:27

learn that embarrassment is not something that

1:01:29

is going to be that

1:01:32

horrible and never be able to get over. So,

1:01:34

that's according to this particular study. But thank you

1:01:37

for sharing these. Some good, some

1:01:39

bad. Yes, dad jokes that are out and

1:01:41

available in the world. We're gonna

1:01:43

take a break. We'll be back in a moment. Very well. You

look my first story together only on

1:02:25

9330WMMR. I

1:02:27

would like to share a personal story. As

1:02:29

you guys know, my passion, I have two

1:02:31

passions. Percussion, drums, and golf.

1:02:36

And both of them are hitting things. They are the things

1:02:38

that I love to do. They take me to another place

1:02:40

that makes me... Ha

1:02:42

ha, a mess. That makes me

1:02:44

content. So, and even if you have

1:02:47

no knowledge of the game of golf, it doesn't matter.

1:02:49

I'm going to share something with you. It's going to

1:02:52

seem really stupid to you. It

1:02:54

was very important and borderline

1:02:56

traumatic to me. You

1:02:59

told us that it felt like a

1:03:01

cancer diagnosis. You would have

1:03:03

thought I was given a terminal diagnosis

1:03:06

from a doctor. So I was

1:03:08

going to be playing golf this

1:03:10

past weekend with one of my

1:03:12

closest friends, Jim. Jim Law

1:03:14

is amazing. And he's a member of this great golf

1:03:16

course called Apple Broke Golf Club. And

1:03:18

love, love, love when I have the opportunity

1:03:21

to play there. And I have been playing

1:03:23

great. I go to

1:03:25

the driving range almost every day. I work on my game

1:03:27

constantly. It's something that I do all the time. So

1:03:30

the day before, two days before

1:03:32

actually, I was going to go

1:03:34

just do a little

1:03:36

quick warm-up, little session, not a full

1:03:39

range session, warm-up. And

1:03:41

just go and hit some balls and get ready for the following

1:03:43

day. And I

1:03:46

go out and I start hitting the

1:03:48

ball. I essentially... I got what's

1:03:52

called the yips. I

1:03:55

got to wear... I could not.

1:03:59

It... the golf ball and by that I

1:04:01

mean those of you who play golf there's a term

1:04:03

we try not to say

1:04:05

it out loud but there's a term

1:04:08

called the shank okay and you

1:04:10

do literally if you

1:04:12

say it out loud while you're playing golf people

1:04:14

will tell you to shut up. Yeah

1:04:17

exactly so it's when the

1:04:19

it's when the ball hits this spot on the

1:04:21

club called the Hazzle it's not the the actual

1:04:23

face of the club. Is this above Hazzle's ever

1:04:25

incorporated? It's right down the street. Anyway and the

1:04:28

ball shoots off to the right. Oh like

1:04:30

it doesn't curve it just goes boom it

1:04:32

goes straight out. That's shanking it? That's shanking

1:04:35

it. I did about a

1:04:37

dozen in a row like

1:04:40

one after another after another after

1:04:42

another. If you've ever seen the

1:04:44

movie 10 cup it

1:04:46

happens to 10 cup it happens McAvoy he's on

1:04:48

the driving range he hits one if he's like

1:04:50

whoa what was that? A little chili dipper. Yeah

1:04:53

and then he did another one and that's when

1:04:55

he turns to Cheech mare and Romeo is like

1:04:57

what's going on here Rome and

1:04:59

then it just happens this and so the

1:05:01

next day I show up to play golf

1:05:04

and I see Jim on the driving range and I'm hitting

1:05:06

balls he comes over and I kind of pull on the side

1:05:08

and I go Jim there's something

1:05:11

wrong with you. I need to talk to

1:05:13

him. I love you. I can't hit the ball. I

1:05:18

mean like I was talking. Certainly that way. I was talking

1:05:20

that hushed hook. You were that devastated. Like I

1:05:22

can't hit the ball. He's like what are you talking

1:05:24

about? Like I'm

1:05:26

dragging the ball. I didn't see him. Oh

1:05:29

this is this. That's what you're going to worry about. You

1:05:31

get you get you get into

1:05:33

the field. Don't dismiss me. And then I went so

1:05:35

there are Caddies in the club and fortunately this guy

1:05:37

Justin who was going to be our Caddy I have

1:05:39

played with before and I pulled him aside too and

1:05:41

I'm like first of all I asked him I guess

1:05:43

Jim who we playing with today so because just me

1:05:45

me and you and I were like oh my god

1:05:48

no one I don't know is going to be watching

1:05:51

me in this embarrassing display and so then I went

1:05:53

over to Caddy I'm like Justin I don't know what's

1:05:55

going on. I can't hit the

1:05:57

damn ball and then we go out

1:06:00

I actually birdied two of the first three.

1:06:02

Oh my God, of course. But then it started

1:06:04

falling apart and it started happening on the course

1:06:06

and I'm standing over the ball and I'm like,

1:06:08

I do

1:06:11

not feel comfortable. I don't know what to do. I

1:06:13

hate to laugh, but it's one of those... I

1:06:16

hate to use the word scary, but

1:06:18

it was scary. Well, here's the deal

1:06:20

also. You spent a good portion of

1:06:22

the past years consigned

1:06:24

to never playing golf again. Yeah.

1:06:27

Because of your shoulder. And now I'm back strong. I'm

1:06:30

a good golfer. I'm back and better than ever. I'm

1:06:32

a 5.6 index for those who follow

1:06:34

the game. So I'm a decent golfer. Yeah. And

1:06:37

I work, work, work, work really hard on it.

1:06:39

So we got done with the round and I was like,

1:06:41

I'm just... I was deflated

1:06:44

and... But the bottom

1:06:46

line and I'll finish telling you. Sorry, in a second. Kathy

1:06:48

had a story as well. If you've

1:06:51

ever had something where you have the

1:06:53

ability, a proficient ability at

1:06:55

something and then one day you

1:06:58

can't do it. Like, where did it go? By

1:07:00

the way, it has ended. I've

1:07:02

been to the range since a

1:07:04

couple of times. I went out last night and

1:07:06

I'm killing it again. I didn't have a place. There's

1:07:10

a straight hit and it long hit and it the

1:07:12

way I want to. Nary a shank to be found.

1:07:14

So you were in a

1:07:16

bad way out of nowhere and it scared

1:07:19

me. And I know that sounds silly to you

1:07:21

guys. No, it doesn't. So this used to

1:07:23

happen to a lot of people in

1:07:25

diving when we were in high school. But

1:07:28

what happened to me was in yoga and there was a

1:07:30

pose in yoga and it's not a terribly

1:07:32

difficult pose. But I mean, I had it

1:07:34

down bad. I did it hundreds or thousands

1:07:37

of times. What's it called? The Yipper.

1:07:39

No, it's the crow pose. The crow pose?

1:07:41

Yeah, where your hands are on the ground and

1:07:43

they're bent and you put your knees on your...

1:07:46

Like on your elbows? Yeah,

1:07:48

like kind of by your elbows. Yeah, about behind

1:07:50

your elbows. I mean, I could hold that for

1:07:52

as long as somebody asked me to. And

1:07:54

one day I fell over and I was like, oh, okay. Well,

1:07:56

you know, when you fall over, you just get back up and

1:07:58

do it again. I fell over again. I from

1:08:00

that day, this was years ago, I lost it. I can't

1:08:02

do it. I still cannot

1:08:05

do it. And I can do like I said,

1:08:07

I can do poses that are more difficult than

1:08:09

that. So it's not like my ability or my

1:08:11

age or whatever is, you know, catching

1:08:13

up to me. I'm doing poses that are much

1:08:16

more difficult. That one I just never came back.

1:08:20

That is a classic. So the

1:08:22

term the yips has been applied to sports

1:08:24

across the board. Its

1:08:26

origins are in golf, correct? I believe so. It's

1:08:28

a little bit of a cutting mainly. Right. So

1:08:31

it has the origin of the discussion American golfer

1:08:33

Tommy are more. Anyway,

1:08:37

there was a, I don't know if you're up to speed.

1:08:39

Well, Ted Lasso makes reference to the, to the, to the,

1:08:41

to Marissa. Yeah.

1:08:45

The Danny has it. And I think you've actually seen

1:08:47

this episode. I think it's less here the employee. So they go

1:08:49

into the culture's room and they can't say, yes, because Danny has

1:08:51

it. They

1:08:54

all think that that's superstitious. Right. God.

1:08:57

So, and then if you guys remember Simone

1:08:59

Biles, she had a boy had the, he

1:09:01

pulled out of the Olympics because I wouldn't

1:09:03

call that the twisties or what do they

1:09:05

call that in gymnastics? Because at

1:09:07

her level, when you're doing that, it just becomes

1:09:09

dangerous. It's not just like one of those things

1:09:12

where it's like, Oh, this sucks. I can't hit

1:09:14

that flip anymore. Like, yeah, it's called the twisties,

1:09:16

the twisties. Yeah. You

1:09:18

were saying you had, I got the,

1:09:20

I got the, I got the squirrelly.

1:09:24

I was happy about it though. I

1:09:27

got the yips and diving twice and for

1:09:29

two different types of dives. So you have

1:09:31

a reverse dive, which is you go, you

1:09:34

walk off the board forward, but you

1:09:36

flip backwards. Right. And for weeks I

1:09:38

was, I had the, the yips and

1:09:40

I couldn't for some reason, I just,

1:09:42

I guess I was just leaning forward

1:09:44

too much and I wasn't able

1:09:46

to do it. And then I also, you

1:09:49

immediately, so you immediately thought, okay, it

1:09:51

had happened a couple of times and the first time you

1:09:53

asked it out, did you go, Oh, it's so funny. So

1:09:56

long ago that I don't necessarily remember what it was like

1:09:58

the first time, but like, I think just like You

1:10:00

were saying press, you know, the first one you're like, Oh,

1:10:02

whoa, wow. I got that. I was leaning

1:10:04

to forward on that one. And then you get back up

1:10:06

on the dive and then you go do it again. And

1:10:08

you're like, Oh crap. And then it's in your head and

1:10:11

that's the worst part. Well,

1:10:13

so if you recall and then I

1:10:15

got the hips again diving doing twists.

1:10:18

Yeah, I couldn't twist anymore. And

1:10:21

so like if you're trying to do like a full twisting

1:10:23

flip or a full twisting one and a half or whatever,

1:10:25

I couldn't complete

1:10:27

a full twist. There is just

1:10:29

something I couldn't do. It wouldn't twist around

1:10:31

that way. Twist around that way. If

1:10:38

you guys recall and when the Phil's won

1:10:40

the World Series that season that

1:10:42

postseason, it might have even been in the

1:10:45

World Series chase out like

1:10:47

got the hips throwing the ball from second

1:10:49

base to first base. Yeah, he had a

1:10:51

couple of bad throws that

1:10:53

like I don't remember if it got past Ryan

1:10:56

Howard or not. But it like that's the easiest

1:10:58

throw. Yeah, I don't remember that. I remember Chuck

1:11:00

Knoblock on the Yankees though. There was a stretch

1:11:02

where he couldn't make a throw from second base

1:11:05

to first base. Wow. Yeah, and it's it's all

1:11:07

like it's got to be 95% mental. Like

1:11:10

these are like world-class athletes. Maybe more but

1:11:12

I think what happens Nick is that you

1:11:14

and there are a couple of you know,

1:11:16

there've been obviously there's a whole science behind

1:11:18

this now. They've examined the phenomenon but what

1:11:21

happens is you're you practice so much

1:11:23

in anything where you're told that it's

1:11:26

almost going to become second nature. So

1:11:28

you don't spend time examining something that

1:11:30

you're doing correctly and

1:11:32

then when it it throws you off,

1:11:34

you're doing what you've been told not to do

1:11:37

at a certain point, which is overthink it. Yeah,

1:11:39

and then you fall down that track. Yeah, and

1:11:41

I think what I what I was doing is

1:11:43

I was working on some other parts of my

1:11:45

game and I was I was overthinking the mechanics

1:11:47

and exaggerating them, but I don't know but at

1:11:49

the time and I was telling the caddy Justin.

1:11:51

I'm like, you know, tell him about his like

1:11:53

he's I had this happens. They flare up. It's

1:11:55

going to you know, it'll

1:11:57

go away. It'll be all right in it.

1:11:59

But in my mind Steve almost like with

1:12:01

the. reaver that you have them like, what

1:12:04

if it doesn't, doesn't, doesn't, doesn't,

1:12:06

you know, over

1:12:11

and over. But also in,

1:12:13

uh, in, uh,

1:12:15

10 copy, you know, uh, Romeo, the, the

1:12:18

caddie psychology things, they flare up, they come

1:12:20

out of nowhere. And that's legitimately how it

1:12:22

was. But you were devastated. I wasn't trending

1:12:25

anywhere. I was going to call Jim the

1:12:27

day before and say, Jim, I'm going to

1:12:30

say this now. I'm shooting 75 or under,

1:12:32

which is a great score for

1:12:34

me. And that's how confident I

1:12:36

felt. And then the next day I went in

1:12:38

it and it fell apart. And I just, I

1:12:41

was so mad. What are

1:12:45

the years? You

1:12:47

too. We

1:12:50

don't say the Y word out loud. You

1:12:52

understand? It's like say Macbeth in a theater

1:12:54

or Voldemort at Hogwarts or a soccer name

1:12:56

with a single. Uh, hang

1:13:01

on. Let me go to

1:13:03

Doug plays golf. Doug. Good morning.

1:13:06

Yeah. Yeah. That's funny.

1:13:09

What's up, man. So

1:13:11

I have the out

1:13:13

of the tee box now. I

1:13:16

was playing about two weeks ago. I

1:13:18

played phenomenal everywhere that I wanted to

1:13:20

put the ball off the tee box.

1:13:23

It was going. And

1:13:25

then about a week ago

1:13:27

I had emailed you, pressed it about a

1:13:29

land golf course. Yes. I remember right.

1:13:33

First tee box. I am

1:13:35

hitting it right to the right

1:13:37

and I can't figure it out.

1:13:40

So then I go and I

1:13:42

would just sit and then every

1:13:44

approach shot is now off. So

1:13:46

I'm thinking about my drive and

1:13:48

I'm thinking about the next guy,

1:13:50

two holes over, hoping that I

1:13:52

don't hit them. Yeah. And everything

1:13:54

else gets affected. And now I'm

1:13:56

all in my head that every

1:13:58

single shot is now. just gonna

1:14:00

be all. So let me ask you Doug,

1:14:02

can you not, Preston had the demeanor of

1:14:05

someone who is, who is, you know, just

1:14:07

got a horrible diagnosis or was just, it

1:14:09

just leveled him. Are

1:14:12

you dealing with that now? I mean, is

1:14:14

it consuming virtually your every other thought? Yeah,

1:14:17

much because you go right up to it. You're

1:14:19

like, I can't, I can't hit a drive. I

1:14:21

don't know what to do. I can

1:14:24

hit a great every other day. Yeah. But

1:14:26

now for some reason, it's just going two

1:14:28

holes over. I put dog. I thought honestly,

1:14:30

across my mind, I'm like, well, I'm gonna

1:14:32

have to give this up now. I

1:14:36

honestly thought of that. I

1:14:38

am never going to hit this driver again.

1:14:40

Yeah. Wow. All right. So talking about leaving

1:14:42

the game. Thanks, Doug. I appreciate it, bud.

1:14:44

I'm on the Wikipedia page.

1:14:46

So Nick, I don't know

1:14:48

if you're familiar with a guy named Hayden

1:14:50

Hearst. He's a tight end in the NFL.

1:14:53

No, he was drafted 25th overall

1:14:55

in the 2018 NFL draft. Here's

1:14:57

the deal about him. He

1:14:59

was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates

1:15:01

as a pitching prospect. And he

1:15:03

was so affected badly by

1:15:05

the Yips that he left baseball altogether.

1:15:07

Wow. Ended up playing football at the

1:15:09

University of South Carolina and is now

1:15:11

a professional football player. There was a

1:15:14

guy who played for the Cardinals for

1:15:16

a little bit. And he was a

1:15:18

bad ass pitcher. And all of

1:15:20

a sudden he couldn't even get it over the plate. And

1:15:23

he was like, he was a fastball thrower. He's really, really good

1:15:25

and dynamic. Was that Ant-Kitten? No, he walked away from

1:15:27

the game. It was Rick and Kiel. And then they

1:15:29

ended up, he ended up coming back and they moved

1:15:31

him to outfield, I think. Yes, they did. And he

1:15:34

was in a great outfit. Yeah. It turned into a

1:15:36

good hitter too. Yeah. You couldn't pitch the ball anymore.

1:15:38

That's where it like, we talked

1:15:40

to Charlie manual and how a

1:15:42

coach to break

1:15:44

someone out of that has got to be the most

1:15:47

difficult thing in the world because you're living

1:15:49

in your head all the time. You know,

1:15:51

and so too, you know, you can do

1:15:54

it. That's the most frustrating part. And it

1:15:56

is suddenly alluded you, it's like you're looking

1:15:58

for a lost child. Yeah, it's weird

1:16:00

in my case, like I can handle having a bad

1:16:02

round. That's it. That happens. You know, whatever, for whatever

1:16:05

reason, you made bad choices and just had some

1:16:07

chunky shots or whatever. Maybe I

1:16:09

was consistently hitting like 10

1:16:12

of them in a row off to the,

1:16:14

you know, just shooting off to the right. And

1:16:17

I just, it destroyed a little part

1:16:19

of me. To be

1:16:21

honest, I'm going to go to Chris next. Hey, Chris,

1:16:23

good morning. Morning guys. How you

1:16:25

doing? Good. What's up, Chris? So,

1:16:28

let me start this off by saying that I was

1:16:31

never a good golfer, but I was getting to the

1:16:33

point where I was enjoying going, I

1:16:35

was going about once a week back

1:16:37

in 2015. Okay. And

1:16:40

in one round time, I went from,

1:16:42

you know, being able to progress to

1:16:44

kind of like you not being

1:16:46

able to hit it, hit it at all. Yeah. Um,

1:16:49

and it's what 2023 now. And

1:16:51

I have yet to go again. Yeah. You gave

1:16:53

it up. Um, I

1:16:56

attributed to the mom stars and space jams

1:16:59

feeling on my. It

1:17:03

just went away. All right. It's

1:17:06

impossible. Chris, the game is still there for

1:17:08

you. If you want to come back to it, man, I bet you'll

1:17:10

be, I bet you'd be all right now. One

1:17:12

day I have to get back. All right. Doesn't

1:17:15

it took him out. It completely took him

1:17:18

out. It's, it was that it's

1:17:21

bizarre. And then it made me go. Wow. Look

1:17:23

at you. Sad little man. You

1:17:26

hold this in such high regard in your

1:17:28

life. This little game, this thing that you

1:17:31

like to do. And then you feel like

1:17:33

a douche because you're getting so upset about

1:17:35

that. Oh, but the things that provide you

1:17:37

solace in your life and provide you your

1:17:39

distraction that is sort of the spice of

1:17:41

life, the things you look to, to sort

1:17:43

of help you decompress that you enjoy when

1:17:45

that's not there and especially

1:17:48

when it's something you were doing

1:17:50

consistently before the closest I've come.

1:17:52

And I was never playing competitive tennis,

1:17:55

but tennis is, is one where a slight

1:17:58

angle of the racket can. Wildly

1:18:00

if you want. We're talking about millimeters

1:18:03

of golf. I'm a good

1:18:05

tennis player and I lost

1:18:07

the ability to execute topspin.

1:18:09

I'm like, where the? And

1:18:12

then it came back. Yeah. A lot

1:18:14

of times in Tennessee, Yips comes with

1:18:16

that second serve. Yes. People double. Oh,

1:18:19

they choke up. Yep. Preston with golf,

1:18:21

when you, they're not talking about

1:18:23

it or with, you know, with Ted Lasso, they're

1:18:25

not even saying the word. Is it because the

1:18:28

Yips will then infect other people? Exactly. Okay.

1:18:30

So I don't mind. It doesn't really

1:18:32

bother me. I'll say it out loud.

1:18:34

I was just out of respect for

1:18:36

other people. I try to say it

1:18:38

because it's like it's a venereal disease.

1:18:40

People are texting in the same man.

1:18:42

I got a golf trip coming up

1:18:44

this weekend and here we go. Don't

1:18:46

worry. Maybe, maybe we can have it.

1:18:48

I'm curious. Preston line five. I assume

1:18:50

that has to be really dangerous. We

1:18:52

will go to J T. Hey JT.

1:18:54

Hey, good morning. Yeah. JP. Yeah.

1:18:57

Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good.

1:18:59

Ziggs buddy. So I was a

1:19:01

pole vaulter in her school and college and

1:19:04

my last year, my freshman year in college,

1:19:06

my last jump I took the

1:19:08

pole slipped out of my hands and there's two ways you can die

1:19:10

pole vaulting. One, it slipped out of your hands and two, you go

1:19:12

flying off to the side. So you end

1:19:14

up with your head in the little metal

1:19:17

box. And if you're unlucky,

1:19:19

it, you know, hits the back

1:19:21

of your brainstem. Right. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good.

1:19:23

Good. I mean, by the way, I went to

1:19:25

Bucknell. So that was the last jump of the

1:19:27

year, my freshman year.

1:19:31

I came back sophomore year

1:19:34

and I didn't have it anymore. I never

1:19:36

left the ground again. And I

1:19:39

had to end up quitting track and joining

1:19:41

the fraternity. Wow. So let me ask you

1:19:43

that in that instant, that

1:19:45

fear or that possibility that you

1:19:47

could have bought the range poorly

1:19:49

executing a pole vault that

1:19:52

did it in for you, you were done. Yeah.

1:19:54

I just, I just lost my nerve and never

1:19:57

could run full speed towards a little hole

1:19:59

in the ground with a. stick in your hand anymore.

1:20:02

I can see that man. That's kind of

1:20:04

a traumatic moment that scares you away

1:20:06

from doing it. Thanks JP, JP, by the way.

1:20:09

There was a case, so I was involved, I had not

1:20:11

told you guys this, but there was a case where I

1:20:13

used to box and I was

1:20:16

facing a guy I should have beaten, but

1:20:18

my manager had a heart attack right

1:20:20

before the white message and

1:20:22

I lost back. And

1:20:24

then to the coaching of a former

1:20:26

combatant, somebody I faced, I was able

1:20:29

to finally win this match against this guy.

1:20:31

So we were taking calls with people who had some

1:20:34

kind of ability and then all of a sudden, oh,

1:20:36

you can't do it anymore. Not necessarily because of age

1:20:38

or an injury, but just, you

1:20:40

just can't do it anymore. You can't even,

1:20:42

like you can't even do yoga moves. It's

1:20:44

like, what? Yeah. Well, and every once in

1:20:46

a while I'll try it. I'm like, okay, today's the day. All right, right

1:20:49

now. You're going to do it. No, no, I'm not

1:20:51

going to be my ass in the air here with

1:20:53

all of you. Come on, thank you. That's what it

1:20:55

is. Um, hold on, wait, I

1:20:57

don't think I knew you competitively boxed. I'm just kidding. It

1:21:00

was, uh, I didn't even get that. I didn't even get

1:21:02

that. I didn't even get that. I didn't even get that.

1:21:04

I didn't even get that. I didn't even get that. I

1:21:06

didn't even get that. I did not even get that either.

1:21:08

You were talking about Mickey? Yeah, we have audio of you

1:21:10

crying. I did too. Yeah, I completely

1:21:13

forgot about the fact. I was glad. I wasn't

1:21:15

the only one. That happened to you and that

1:21:17

we actually had microphones on the scene. Yeah,

1:21:26

we had me weeping. Uh,

1:21:28

horribly sad moment. It was really bad. I did

1:21:31

do golden glow. So boxing, I was trying for

1:21:33

a while to enter that. I've never heard you

1:21:35

more sad. I just hate. Oh,

1:21:38

I can't see the sky. I

1:21:42

can't see the sky. I

1:21:46

can't see the sky. In there.

1:21:49

So I can't see the sky.

1:21:51

You shouldn't be

1:21:53

reading dialogue. while

1:22:00

you're trying to cry that way. You

1:22:03

thought my trainer actually

1:22:05

died. Well, so this

1:22:07

person texted and none of you got Steve's

1:22:10

rocket rocket. That's true. None of us did.

1:22:12

I was like, oh, you've been a rough

1:22:14

go. It was a boxing ring. That's too

1:22:16

bad. I was answering

1:22:18

a text from Adam Wiener. Would you have

1:22:21

gotten it? Probably, yes. I missed it entirely.

1:22:23

I brought it back up. I

1:22:25

was like, oh, that never knew this. I'm

1:22:27

touched that you thought that Steve's got it.

1:22:29

Well, I could see you punching somebody and then the

1:22:31

ring. I was. Earlier

1:22:34

on, my boxing

1:22:36

career ended in a much less dazzling

1:22:38

way. My mother said no. That's

1:22:43

literally what happened. I

1:22:46

was a professional runner and then one day my legs were

1:22:48

blown off by a landmine. Oh, no. Stop.

1:22:51

That's true. No, what happened? By

1:22:53

the way, here's the text. It

1:22:55

says, and Preston just respond

1:22:57

to the guy who lost his legs

1:22:59

by saying it happened. We're not the

1:23:01

only one. I'm

1:23:04

not the only one. Sometimes I miss a

1:23:06

joke. Yes, it happens. All

1:23:09

right. Let

1:23:13

me see here. Do we have time for another call?

1:23:15

I know we're going to take a break here in

1:23:17

just a second. Let me go to Ed about the

1:23:19

upside. Ed, morning. Good

1:23:21

morning, crew. How are you?

1:23:23

Good. What's up,

1:23:25

Ed? So I got that eyeball, but

1:23:28

it just seems like in bowling, you

1:23:30

can throw a 220 game, then throw

1:23:33

a 230 game, and then your last game is like a 105.

1:23:37

It's like everything falls apart in the

1:23:39

same night and the alleys haven't changed.

1:23:41

Yeah. Well, so the kingpin

1:23:43

has a lot of they talk. They deal

1:23:45

with the yips in bowling a lot. Now,

1:23:47

mind you, one of your husband has his

1:23:49

hand ripped off, right? But,

1:23:53

yeah, they deal with that.

1:23:56

And, you know, when you're on your

1:23:58

mark, bowling is a simple thing. game

1:24:01

so frustrating. Yeah, but Ed, you know what you're

1:24:03

also have to deal with when you bowl, especially

1:24:05

in a league is the oil changing on the

1:24:07

lanes as a result of the way you guys

1:24:09

bowl. So you have to

1:24:11

adjust as the night goes on.

1:24:14

Well, I feel like I am adjusting, but I

1:24:16

guess I don't know. There's so much involved. Even

1:24:18

with golf, you think about it. You're hitting the

1:24:20

little white ball with this club swinging at whatever

1:24:22

miles per hour and you're trying to hit it

1:24:24

straight. You know what I mean? Well, let me

1:24:26

give you a little story for my past before

1:24:28

I got into radio. You know, he's Steve Morrison,

1:24:30

but my original name was Gail Sayers. Oh,

1:24:33

wow. Okay. And I think that the

1:24:38

most frustrating part about it when

1:24:40

I was having this issue, because like I

1:24:42

said, it cleared up and I've gone a

1:24:44

couple days of no problems whatsoever, is that

1:24:47

I am, I feel like I am doing

1:24:49

the same repetitive motion

1:24:51

that I know how to do

1:24:53

exactly how to do. In my

1:24:55

mind, I've not changed anything at

1:24:58

all. And it's just not working.

1:25:00

There is nothing. It is an elusive

1:25:02

frustration that you sometimes you need. Let

1:25:05

me ask you, had it gone on longer,

1:25:07

would you have, would you have hired someone

1:25:09

to work with you? Oh, most definitely. Yeah.

1:25:12

Oh, I would have absolutely gone to a

1:25:14

teacher. In fact, when we were done, Jim

1:25:16

is like, Hey, Dave might

1:25:18

be in there right now. Dave, uh, uh,

1:25:22

uh, no, no, don't cry.

1:25:24

Don't do this. All

1:25:28

right. Okay. Dave

1:25:30

out. David McNabb is the head pro there. And he's like,

1:25:32

Hey, Dave might be in there if you want to go

1:25:34

right now, like as soon as we were done. And he

1:25:37

wasn't around. And I would have the same with me because

1:25:39

there was a time when my, when my coach

1:25:41

had a hard attack, I'm going to go to

1:25:43

one more call. I'm gonna go to Chris. I

1:25:45

want to go to Chris. Good morning.

1:25:48

Hey, do you think you're a boxer? Do you

1:25:50

know why boxers all have sex the night before

1:25:52

the fight? Uh, no, no, why?

1:25:56

Because they really don't like each other. That's

1:26:00

a good one. That's a good

1:26:02

one. That's a good one. That's

1:26:04

a good one. Chris, dad enters

1:26:06

Casey's dad joke hall of fame, I

1:26:08

approve. I'm telling you, you still need

1:26:11

to have a competition. I'm all for

1:26:13

it. Dude, yeah, I am a huge

1:26:15

fan of dad jokes and that is

1:26:17

a prime example. Alright, what do you

1:26:19

want to share about it? It says

1:26:21

here you've shanked the ball. Oh, God.

1:26:24

Alright, so I don't know. Did you

1:26:26

ever play Butter Valley, Preston? I've not

1:26:28

played Butter Valley, no. Okay,

1:26:30

well they have a 600-yard hole and I'm looking

1:26:32

so forward. I'm going off. This is when I

1:26:35

was like 20 years old. I was like, you know what?

1:26:37

I'm going to need to get a new driver. So

1:26:39

I went out shopping. He got a really nice

1:26:41

expensive driver. It's tailor made with a nine degree

1:26:43

law. Couldn't wait. So I was like, alright, let's

1:26:45

go to the driving rate. And you know the

1:26:48

barriers they have between, you know, when you're at

1:26:50

the driving rate, between each other. Sure, yeah. My

1:26:54

first swing, I shanked it so

1:26:56

bad. It hit off the barrier, but

1:26:58

it was right by my face. It hit the guy next to

1:27:00

me. Oh my God. Wow. That's

1:27:03

bad. That's real bad. Yeah.

1:27:05

So, and I kept shanking it, shanking it. Then we get to Butter Valley the

1:27:08

next day. I

1:27:11

just aimed 100 feet left. Yeah.

1:27:13

Yeah, just to compensate for it. Yes. I

1:27:16

mean, I was scaring people,

1:27:18

but then the way I got over it

1:27:20

was from the catcher and major leader, maybe

1:27:22

like two or three. Yes. He

1:27:25

just drove back to the pitcher. So

1:27:27

he started remembering Playboy magazine, you know,

1:27:29

and he started re-siting. I didn't get

1:27:31

back to the teachers by trying to

1:27:33

use that concept. He would

1:27:35

do what? I don't know what he did. Yeah. He

1:27:38

was everything into like Playboy magazine. So he was like, I guess, reciting

1:27:40

the model. Yeah, the

1:27:42

stats about it. Okay. He was

1:27:44

distracting himself. Okay. That

1:27:46

makes sense. Alright. I did it work.

1:27:48

Yeah. It

1:27:50

did totally work, but I wasn't doing Playboy magazine. I

1:27:54

was doing my multiplication. Yeah. Yeah.

1:27:57

Because he can't be standing there with a boner. Yeah. I

1:27:59

will tell you. Thank you, Chris, distracting yourself.

1:28:01

Well, listen, fortunately, it was like a two-day

1:28:03

thing for me. And it came right back,

1:28:05

but it freaked me out, man. I know

1:28:07

it's silly. I know it's really dumb. That

1:28:10

concept is not solely

1:28:13

golf, as we've known, throughout all different kinds

1:28:15

of sports. It's also in the professional world,

1:28:17

person also in any sort of thing. Okay.

1:28:20

I feel better now. I'm

1:28:22

feeling, in fact, I feel pretty

1:28:25

freaking confident again. But it

1:28:27

was terrifying. You were defeated. I was

1:28:29

a broken man. You told me. I was

1:28:31

a broken man. We'll be back

1:28:33

in a moment. Stay with us. Hey,

1:29:39

Because other jewelers just want to throw up when

1:29:41

you ask, can I trade in my old diamond

1:29:43

studs? Why? I guess it's because they're in the

1:29:45

business of selling. I'm in the love business. I

1:29:47

love to see my friends come back and trade

1:29:50

in their old diamond studs. It's true. You can

1:29:52

start with any size and upgrade them for a

1:29:54

bigger pair anytime you want. Get exactly what you

1:29:56

paid. Not only do other jewelers not want you

1:29:58

to trade in your diamond studs. But

1:30:00

even if they do they don't give you back

1:30:02

what you paid why are their diamonds worth less

1:30:43

about number one song songs that hit

1:30:45

number one in the on the billboard.

1:30:47

Yes charts, right and apparently

1:30:50

in this century only

1:30:54

14 of those number one songs

1:30:56

have been written by one single

1:30:58

individual So so all

1:31:00

that time only 14 songs

1:31:02

have been written by one person

1:31:04

songwriter Yeah, exactly because you'll get

1:31:07

collaborators right and let's laugh Sometimes

1:31:09

there's like a group of people. Yeah,

1:31:11

right like a hit song like you you'll see

1:31:13

some you know Pop princess number

1:31:15

one hit and there's like six songwriters

1:31:17

Mm-hmm, so they crafted it to be

1:31:19

exactly what it is right to get

1:31:21

to number one Do you know it's

1:31:23

not just they're not just trying to

1:31:26

create a piece of art They're trying to get a hit trying

1:31:28

to make it number one to make it a product. So these

1:31:31

were written by one Single

1:31:33

individual. There's a lot of interesting sponsors. So this

1:31:35

dates back to 2020 and this goes in and

1:31:39

Order of of when the song was released in

1:31:42

2020 chronological not 2020 2000. Okay, so it's chronological order

1:31:47

I'll just roll to this list everything you want

1:31:49

by vertical horizon Ah It

1:31:53

was the number one song I forgot about that that's how

1:31:55

much the music has changed I know thousand by the way

1:31:58

This song was in number one written

1:32:00

by Vertical Horizons co-founder and lead singer

1:32:02

Matthew Scannell. Hit number

1:32:05

one on the chart July 15th, 2000.

1:32:08

I haven't heard this song in

1:32:10

so long I don't remember this

1:32:13

intro at all. I mainly

1:32:15

just know the hook. Yeah,

1:32:17

he's everything you want. That's right.

1:32:19

Then in July, uh, July 22nd

1:32:21

of 2000

1:32:31

bent by Matchbox 20. I don't

1:32:33

know that song. Yeah. This guy has

1:32:35

a problem with his penis. Yeah. Yeah.

1:32:37

You absolutely would know it. I can't

1:32:39

help it. I'm banned and I'm not

1:32:42

going to do it any justice because

1:32:44

I don't remember the whole chorus

1:32:46

to it. Would it help if Kathy sang

1:32:48

your harmonies and the way he says man,

1:32:50

how he pronounces them man, man, man. Um,

1:32:54

pull that up. So it was written by

1:32:56

Rob Thomas, who was a hit writing by

1:32:58

the way. And

1:33:01

it was written solely by him

1:33:03

and it hit number one on the chart. Like

1:33:06

I said, July 22nd, 2000. You looking at

1:33:38

me? I

1:33:50

don't really know. All right. Uh, then

1:33:52

we had Alicia Keys wrote a song

1:33:55

called Fallen. That's an amazing song. Uh,

1:33:57

yeah, that's one. When I saw that, I was like, you

1:33:59

know, I need to add

1:34:01

that to my list because it's just

1:34:03

it's a great song August 18 2001

1:34:08

Then number four on this list is

1:34:10

how you remind me from Nickelback. So

1:34:12

Chad Kroger. Yeah He

1:34:15

was the yep, you're right. Yeah, that guy could crank

1:34:17

him out. What year was that? That was 2001

1:34:20

Wow near the very end of a

1:34:22

December 22nd 2001. Just believe I was more than 20 years ago

1:34:30

How many different professions have

1:34:32

the word demand and the

1:34:35

milkman mailman cableman cableman All

1:34:48

right, then you have Kathy's favorite

1:34:51

Hey, oh god, I knew you could say that Casher

1:34:54

was written by Andre Benjamin better

1:34:56

known as Andre 3000. He is

1:34:59

the sole writer of that song And

1:35:02

he did it for outcast obviously

1:35:04

and that song charted December

1:35:07

13th 2003 and what nothing's

1:35:09

right. So it was it was

1:35:12

nearly a year That

1:35:14

it took her one single individual to write a

1:35:16

number one song Okay

1:35:32

So then you have I don't know this song

1:35:34

bad day by Daniel powder I think

1:35:36

this one What

1:35:47

kind of like this is not Celebratory

1:35:50

at all, but because we need something like John

1:35:52

Philip Sousa Yeah, But they decided bad day would

1:35:54

be good for the you know, the crescendo of

1:35:56

the fireworks. Sometimes It was the very end Well,

1:35:58

it was near the end. The not

1:36:00

only valid sometimes viruses, I bet it

1:36:02

was written by Daniel Powter that number

1:36:05

One in Two Thousand and Six Everly

1:41:46

the hatchet for it Christmas tree

1:41:48

time there's only two more left

1:41:50

on this list perfect by Ed

1:41:52

Sheeran talk about a

1:41:54

hit machine right this sleep take down take

1:41:58

a dump of crap out of number one song. So

1:42:00

this was number one in

1:42:02

2017 and it wasn't until

1:42:04

this year that we had

1:42:07

another number

1:42:11

one hit written by one single solitary

1:42:13

person and I didn't know that he

1:42:15

wrote this but

1:42:17

it's We Don't Talk About Bruno from

1:42:19

Encanto written by Lin-Manuel

1:42:22

Miranda and

1:42:24

it's a massive hit right now. He

1:42:26

wrote this lyrically. This is a huge

1:42:28

hit. They're recalling

1:42:30

Frozen. It's

1:42:40

number one right now. I don't think Let It Go

1:42:42

didn't hit number one did it? I don't think so.

1:42:46

It has that same sort of energy

1:42:48

behind it though. Yeah, but I mean

1:42:51

it's also from a film. You don't

1:42:53

see that like a main theme from

1:42:55

a movie becoming a number one hit

1:42:57

and sure enough and you thought the

1:42:59

movie as a whole was good. Yeah,

1:43:01

I didn't. My daughter loved it and

1:43:05

I didn't really get caught up in it

1:43:07

but you know people are digging this. Also

1:43:09

Let It Go I don't know if it

1:43:11

made it to number one but it was

1:43:13

written by two people. That's true. Yeah, and

1:43:15

in fact those two people that wrote that,

1:43:17

Nick, they also wrote the theme to WandaVision.

1:43:20

In fact all the themes to WandaVision because

1:43:22

each episode had a different theme to it

1:43:24

and if you watch the behind the

1:43:27

scenes, the extras on WandaVision, it is

1:43:29

so cool how they walk you through

1:43:31

all the different versions of the song

1:43:33

that they did and they

1:43:35

had a common refrain in every single one

1:43:38

of those. A melodic refrain in every single

1:43:40

one of those theme songs and they were

1:43:42

just... There's another series

1:43:44

that's going to come out and they're going to handle

1:43:46

all the music. I forgot that the songwriting team. Do

1:43:48

you have their name? Her name

1:43:50

is their husband and wife. Yes, and

1:43:52

Anderson Lopez and his name is

1:43:56

uh... the other

1:43:58
