But then um uh also there is uh uh do you have you had run into this where you've you get a refund from someplace and then like two weeks later you get a check for some for that same amount and you're going through the scruples of whether I should cash the check in or not. Because yeah, it's a considerable amount of money. It happened to us recently. And uh Kelly was telling us that uh one of her friends did that and they double, and then like three weeks later they got a phone call. So I think with the internet out there, we can't really we can't really do that anymore.

Sean Cassidy was in town recently at the uh I saw that. Was that that wasn't on your wall? No. No, Sean Cassidy. Mostly I had lots of scantily clad women. I think I had all the heathers. Like I had uh I had Heather Thomas, I had Heather Lochlair, and then uh there was another, I think there were three Heathers back then. But uh do you remember Heather Thomas from The Fall Guy? Yep. That's that's the one that I had. For sure. Yeah. Yep. She was a mighty white shorts. Yeah. I think yeah. Did you have the fair post?
SPEAKER_03Did you have Daisy Duke?

That's real. What's her name? Yeah, Linda something. Oh, okay. Yeah, she's dead. So I like what? Yeah, okay. I didn't have any bands. Like I didn't have like a Def Leopard. Def Leopard was big. I didn't have bands either. No. You didn't have any bands? No. I haven't had a space.
SPEAKER_03Amy, you had to have a thing about the space. Oh, you know, I might have had a Duran Duran.
SPEAKER_01Hey.
SPEAKER_03In Excess. I did it in excess as well.
SPEAKER_01Uh Hutchins? Oh, in excess. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Michael. Well, it was the whole band. Because I went and saw their kick tour.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah. That's cool. They had like five hits on that album.
SPEAKER_03Dude, that was I love in X.
SPEAKER_01It was insane how many hits they had on that album.
SPEAKER_03But I uh mostly had d like guys, yeah.
SPEAKER_01You had guys on my wall.
SPEAKER_03See Thomas Howell, Johnny Depp. Wow. Johnny Depp, okay. James Dean.
SPEAKER_01Oh, James Dean. Well, I forget how bad how far back Johnny Depp goes. He's like I think he's like 60 or 58 now or something. Jeez. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. He's hot. We're all old still. We're all still old. But uh yeah, but I was trying to think of all the posters. I had a whole life-size poster bogey on my back door. Like a life-size bogey. Humphrey Bogart?
SPEAKER_02Oh, Humphrey.
SPEAKER_01Oh, Bogey.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Really? Humphrey Bogart? That's cool. You guys know Bogey isn't. Oh yeah. Right.
SPEAKER_03I don't know. I guess they never called him bogey.
SPEAKER_01I've never had a poster of them, but. Have you heard the phrase don't bogeart that joint where you don't hold on to it? Bogey smoke so much. They're holding it thing. Yeah. That's a true story. That's part of the stuff too. So I'm going to talk about real quick. So it's veterans kind of a week, and they also have a code of love thing for the women as well. So I'm going to get to. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03Now you're going to be nice. Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01So uh let me see here. So we're going to. So this is the uh code of love, and you're going to be surprised how far back this goes, Amy. Oh boy. So this is about liberation. Love the music.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Thank you very much. This is for latest music. I thought that maybe totally. Yeah. I'll hear about it, but I'm sure, you know, it's still appreciated. So liberation uh in itself is like it's almost like a war cry because uh why? Because when you hear about it, you say, you know, your perspectives start to adjust, and you say, How long have women's rights been an issue? And we're like, far back, like a long time ago, right? Like a century.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, one.
SPEAKER_01Like 150 years? And also women didn't start voting until the 20s.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Uh women's lib, and uh sometimes they uh uh over they use that with the overkill sometimes, and we're a reason for it's kind of been not even a recent phenomenon, but originally uh a very valid objective was equal pay for equal work, right? Fine.
SPEAKER_03I mean, pretty it should be pretty standard.
SPEAKER_01Right, yeah. And uh some and then some were concerned, then they went over the identity, where's the woman going, you know, all that. And uh yeah, so that should have gone away. Uh but then so frequently is the case with the with the cause of this nation, you got all the man haters and all that stuff, and like forget about that. And that's all kind of gone away. And uh, so I'm gonna tell you about the code of love. All right. And the code of love was drafted by a group of women in May of 74, all right? Married women. Uh they were part of the the Lib you know, women's lib movement as well, and their goal was to create for themselves uh a new set of ethics, right? Guidelines for liberated conducted uh in modern times. And in the process, they examined uh these standards and wound up with they're kind of archaic standards back then, right? With uh redefining love itself. So uh the code of love, if you're at all sensitive or idealistic to perhaps romantically inclined, we're gonna read this anyway, all right? Uh so love, so here's some of the rules. They said that love cannot extend itself into uh can cannot extend itself into marriage. This is because lovers must grant everything to one another, uh, mutually and gratuitously, and without being constrained by any motive or necessity. Husband and wife, on the other hand, are bound by duty to deny each other nothing, right? Oh, that's again that that's duty. Yeah. Considered that uh no one should be deprived of love. Being married must not prevent one from seeking it elsewhere. And the only requirements of extramarital lovers are that they are honest and that they are truly exciting and they have achieved adulthood. That makes sense. And an insatiable appetite of one partner or the other is considered to be ideal. Right? So now, sounds pretty good so far.
SPEAKER_03Am I gonna get mad at the end of this?
SPEAKER_01No, you're gonna be waiting here at the ending. You ready? And then it says, No device is too extreme. If it keeps this passion alive, maintaining a secret affair may be favorable. Uh, not so much for the sake of decency as for the sake of excitement. Ready? This is 74, right? Whoever cannot keep a secret cannot love. You gotta keep the secret, right? I'm like, wow, this is back in 74. Guarded jealousy uh may also be useful. And although we are not specifically recommending or even condoning the employment of force, a resisting lover is always more desirable if it's she wishes. So, you ready?
SPEAKER_04You getting this?
SPEAKER_01This is women, all right? No one can be ultimately involved with two lovers at the same time, but just as nothing restricts one man from an affair with two women, nothing prevents one woman from having an affair with two men. Hoo-hoo. Yeah. Love itself is always in a state of flux, either increasing or diminishing after it begins to diminish and it dies rapidly. At that time, new love is an adequate excuse to quit the old. Made by women. This is by women? This has been made by women. I'm shocked now. What one loses in sleep over love, one makes up for in, and what one does not eat. But one persons who are either too wealthy or too happy in their own lives tend to lose the need of love. It should also serve as a warning that those who are prone to love are equally prone to fear. So I'm gonna stop here. What was the eating part? All right. So, Dr. Donald Jackson, founder and director of the Mental Health Research Institute in uh Palo Alto, has uh has his own ideas about the code of love. And he concedes that the women who formulated it were intellectually and artistically superior to their husbands. All right. And that they probably resented the inferior, non-productive position in which uh had they had been forced to by the male-dominated society of that time. So they made up their own stuff. And excessive leisure, says Dr. Jackson, uh doubtless afforded them the time to retaliate in this manner, and it is definitely needed. Now, Amy, in fairness to American women, let me say that the Code of Love was written in Europe, all right? And that this panel of act this panel of activists had never heard of women's lib before. They've never heard of it. Actually, they were a court of women led by the Countess of Champagne. And they're documenting it as dated May 3rd, 1174. Oh, wow.
SPEAKER_001174. Countess of Champagne? Countess of Champagne. Okay, so there's alcohol involved.
SPEAKER_01What do you think of that?
SPEAKER_00Wow.
SPEAKER_03Sounds like we've been treated by men.
SPEAKER_01Like crab for a long time.
SPEAKER_03Again, day one.
SPEAKER_01Day one. Wow. All right. So deep, man. Isn't that something?
SPEAKER_03So what I got of it was m the women were way smarter.
SPEAKER_01Yes. That's what I heard. And they they they did that because they chose to do it. Yes. They wanted they wanted those six.
SPEAKER_03Now basically, it's you you cheat, I can cheat too.
SPEAKER_01That's correct. That's correct. And we shouldn't be killed for it. Correct.
SPEAKER_03Because women would get banned or hung or whatever.
SPEAKER_01And 11 74. And they were protected by the countess. So they're not going to be able to do that. So they were able to make this. All that. Nice. Woo-hoo. I get it now. Now, this is a war story because it's uh it's uh Veterans Week and Day. I just call it Veterans Week because this is the ultimate success story. This is about a boy named James who uh who entered the army as a hospital assistant and woo and wound up uh the inspector general of the army uh medical department. Now this is in London. Wow. All right. This feat is remarkable in itself. It is exaggerated by the outstanding surgical skill Dr. James Berry developed during the his more than 50 years of service. And I'm sorry if you think that the ending's been given away. Uh, but what has made Dr. Barry ultimately successful uh is what I'm about to tell you. So on July 5th, 1813, a scrawny 18-year-old boy uh uh banged on a United States Army registrar's door. Yeah. I had to read past that just to make sure. His name was James Barry, and he said that he wanted to do hospital work. So he said, hospital work, and he says, and why do you wish specifically to do hospital work? And the boy said, Because I love it. And that was his answer, and that was it. So he says, What's your experiences, Field? He says, Nothing. And he said, the boy said uh there was a tense silence, and he said that the registrar looked at him and observed this freckled face. He's reddish hair, so he was a red. He says, Are you Scottish? And the army officer said, the boy's expression brightened, said, Yes, sir. He says, in fact, my grandfather was a Scottish Earl. So the guy was like, Okay. So true or not, the answer delighted the registrar, was already impressed with the boy's eagerness to serve, and he signed up James. And so began one of the most incredible careers in the history of medicine. He said, Within a year and a half, uh James Barney, as I say Barney. Yeah, James Barry had not yet uh not yet 20. Barney Barry. It's an old story. There's some script. Oh. Had not yet, and he rose to the title uh uh of assistant surgeon. And you can imagine what he must have had to learn in those few months. So in another 12 years, Dr. Barry became a surgeon major and then the deputy inspector general. And finally, after nearly a lifetime of devotion, James, the man who stood uh as an experienced boy, became uh the Army Registrar and became the inspector general himself, the highest ranking medical officer uh oh in the United States Army. So he came over from London. So, notwithstanding his accumulation of stars and bars, there was another side to Dr. Barry on contradiction, you might say. Oh boy. And once described as the most skillful of physicians and the most wayward of men, this learned, fully competent doctor was also credited with an unusually quarrelsome temper. Oh what?
SPEAKER_04Nothing.
SPEAKER_01Inside radio. At least once that we know of Dr. Barry, while stationed in the Cape of Hope, uh the Cape of Good Hope, fought a duel. Throughout his army career, James was often guilty of breaches of discipline and often sent home under arrest. Now, you could write this off as uh eccentricity, uh eccentricity of a medical genius, and that's what headquarters did when they confronted Dr. Barry's offenses. And may we suggest that these are some uh that these are somewhat regular outbursts of perhaps uh a macho guy, and another basis uh another distinguished man. All right. So you see, James Barry was not uh rowdy, and quite the opposite. He was noted that his style of conversation was greatly superior to that uh usually heard uh at a mess table in those days. As a matter of fact, there was a certain oh something distinctive in his manner, which he was always striving to overcome. So please, do you guys know what this you know how this is gonna end? Anybody yet? So don't get ahead of me. So at least before you judge Wait a minute. I didn't even answer. I know he didn't say nothing. You know? No. All right. Before he judged Dr. James Barry too harshly, you'd better learn about the day he passed away. We all do. For this has been the ultimate success story, yet Dr. Barry was not so much a success for what he did, but for what he hid. Oh James died in London on July 25th, 1865. That's when everyone discovered the secret he'd kept for over a half a century, a secret not even barely suspected by his servant of many years. And when word got out, an official report was immediately sent to the horse guards. I don't know what that is. And Dr. James Barry, the late inspector general of the Army Medical Uh Department, the highest ranking medical officer in the United States Army. I wonder, was a woman. I was just gonna say pulled a mulan.
SPEAKER_02What do you think?
SPEAKER_00That's awesome. Isn't that funny? 50 years though? 50 years she held to hide that kid being a woman? God, what year was this? So this was 1865.
SPEAKER_011865 is the war. Yeah, 1865.
SPEAKER_00I guess big dresses, big coats, all that stuff. So she probably had time. Men wore those two, right? She probably had a moment to hide. Yeah, she ain't hiding much. No. No. No.
SPEAKER_01God, that's a long time. Amy.
SPEAKER_03Yes, sir. Oh, are we doing sports?
SPEAKER_01Yep, I'm just moving into it. Whoa!
SPEAKER_03Whoa!

SPEAKER_03New coach. Um, so we have to win this week. That's all I have to say.
SPEAKER_00It's a good thing they're paying Micah Parsons nine billion dollars.
SPEAKER_03He's doing great though. And our kicker absolute crap with the kicker killing us. And now they picked up a new kicker. That's right. And he just got off the he was suspended for sexual allegations with massage therapy. So that's our new kicker that they just cheap. I'm assuming he's cheap, but yeah. Okay. Moving on. The Badgers just got done with Indiana. They did lose, but at least they scored a touchdown.
SPEAKER_00Hey. At least they worked shut out.
SPEAKER_03And the big news is they're sticking with fickle for some stupid reason. Which I was assuming is because they can't raise enough money to get him on.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they got to buy out his contract. Correct. Correct.
SPEAKER_03Io is playing USC today. Cool. So we'll see what happens. Big upset. Um, let's see. Bucks? Dude, the game last night. The Bucks won 147 points against the Charlotte Hornets, 134 points.

SPEAKER_00How did uh how many points did Giannis Ante Tokumpo?

SPEAKER_00I get a feeling. Well, I shouldn't say that.
SPEAKER_03Anywho. And then I just kind of I was interested in like looking up the oldest sport supposedly in history. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01Let me guess. Is it uh have to do with kicking a head around? Like a soccer thing? Running?

SPEAKER_01Oh wrestling.

SPEAKER_01Those Greeks. Really?
SPEAKER_03Cave paintings back in France.

SPEAKER_03Foosball. The next one was running and then archery.
SPEAKER_01I would have thought running was archery, yeah.
SPEAKER_00But wrestling.
SPEAKER_03Wrestling is supposedly the oldest. Because they did all that Greek wrestling and all that.
SPEAKER_00So like cavemen, would they they wrote that down?
SPEAKER_03It says evidence. Well, this says back over 15,000 years.
SPEAKER_00Also not cavemen.
SPEAKER_03Cave paintings in France. Also a prominent sport in ancient Egypt with depictions around 2500 BC.
SPEAKER_00So maybe cavemen. And what else they gotta do?
SPEAKER_01Well, you know, and then the javelin, you know.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And then archery. I mean, they did that to defend themselves.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah. All right. So 776, the first uh Olympics. Let me take a look. You go ahead. I'll find out what events were there.
SPEAKER_03That's kind of all I got.
SPEAKER_01Is that is that pretty abruptly.
SPEAKER_03I mean, the good thing for the PACs is at least we beat the Pittsburgh Steelers the other week. Right. But then we lost to like two of the worst teams in the NFL. So that's there's that.
SPEAKER_01There's a uh also a lady. You're talking about records. There's a lady uh who had the loudest yell. Decibly wise. Decibly wise, yeah. Wow. So like Slipknot, you know that group? Oh, Slipknot, yeah, yeah. Their loudest uh uh concert, I guess, was 107 decibels, which is pretty high. Wow.
SPEAKER_02Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_01This lady. What do you first off she an hopper singer or something? I'll tell you, I'll tell you what her I'll tell you what. She held at 129 decibels. 129. She doesn't even need a microphone. Talk about projecting. But what uh what occupation do you think she had? Oh. Like I said, that'd be a good guess.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01That'd be a good guess. Rick, auctioneer? That's another good one. School teacher. Oh, well I mean, she was my teacher, probably. Chill Drake. Uh, do you want to know the word that she yelled? Quiet. She quiet.
SPEAKER_03I give all prompts to teachers because I could never do it. I could never do it.
SPEAKER_01Uh what's the word that she God I f I wrote this down. 129? That's like uh blowing ears out. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_03The kids' ears are bleeding. Oh. Going home.
SPEAKER_01They got people get me hearing it. That is awesome. Quiet. Quiet was the word. Yeah. That's right. That's the word. She broke the sound decibel. And she broke the sound decibel. It's on video. I'm not gonna play it.
SPEAKER_03No, don't play it.
SPEAKER_01I'm not gonna play it. I would think other words would be louder.
SPEAKER_00Yes? We don't know what he'll do. No, sir.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, I got something for you. Sweet. How's the do you guys swim? Are you swimmers? Yeah, I swim. You swim, you like swimming? I don't swim regularly, but I used to swim. You love swimming? Mm-hmm. What's the longest you ever held your breath underwater?
SPEAKER_01Uh I've tested this. Uh it's I think it was one minute and I think 15 seconds. One minute and fifteen seconds. That's a long time. Yeah, yeah. That's back when I was that explains a lot. Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm sorry, we're in the shit. One minute and fifteen seconds. Which is pretty good. That is really good. That's the longest time. Because you have to, when you if you have to lift your head up during your strokes, it slows you down. Yeah. Right. Right. So I had to learn how to do that. But boy, I was exhausted.
SPEAKER_00I used to swim laps like when I would train for triathlon stuff. Right. I used to get like a lap and a half without having to take a breath.
SPEAKER_01That's pretty good.
SPEAKER_00But then no, that was like the first two laps. After that, I was breathing so hard I could you know I had to basically swim on my back. But that's Amy, you think you could hold that?
SPEAKER_03I don't know. I I just tried holding my breath trying to sit at the bottom of the pool. Like trying to keep it. I don't know, probably 30, 40 seconds. 30, 40 seconds.
SPEAKER_00No, what if I told you that you could hold your breath for a lot longer? Is it like 20 minutes or something like that? Well, there it could be unlimited, perhaps. How? So human trials bring us closer. Now, this is the headline, right, of this story. I'm gonna share with you.
SPEAKER_03This is some human torture thing.
SPEAKER_00No, no, it's actually it's advancing human human the human ability, I would think. Human trials bring us closer to breathing through our butts. Gross. Well, I already talked through mine, so that's that's true, right? Well, yeah. I talk through my ass. That's fine. So we may be a step closer to being able to breathe through our butts. How is that a thing? A new human clinical trial has shown that it's safe at least to deliver oxygen rectally. So they put a tube in it?
SPEAKER_03Giving to your lungs.
SPEAKER_00Well, the picture that they show it looks like uh like a colonoscopy, but the guy the little picture is the guy's laying on his side and they have just the sheets pulled apart, and there's his anus there. With a microphone for karaoke nights. Exactly. And if you eat beans, you can get a lot longer. Musical food. It's really an entertaining area if you think about it.
SPEAKER_03I mean, wow, you're now entertainment sucks.
SPEAKER_00This sounds like this sounds like a joke, but indeed, research has led to this trial. It won a Nobel Prize for Physiology a year ago or whatever. I don't know what that means.
SPEAKER_03But low standards for physiology.
SPEAKER_00There's if they consider Trump a possible No, never mind. But there's good reason behind it. Oh my god. Good reason behind this.
SPEAKER_03It must be in a room full of dudes.
SPEAKER_00It could become a backup. Wait, wait, wait.
SPEAKER_03Oh my goodness. Is this gonna be a Yeah, I got one.
SPEAKER_04That's not fair.
SPEAKER_03We're just gonna talk about farting again.
SPEAKER_00It could be a backup method for providing oxygen to patients with blocked airways. Which is that's good medical thing.
SPEAKER_03How's it getting to the lungs, man?
SPEAKER_00The work isn't entirely without precedent. Schematics. Come on. You gotta use your imagination. You're in the you're in the healthcare field, right?
SPEAKER_03Exactly. How's it getting to the lungs?
SPEAKER_00Animals like pigs, rodents, turtles, and some fish are known to be capable of butt chugging oxygen when they need to. That's what I heard.
SPEAKER_03Like when a need arises just like a pucker factor stuff.
SPEAKER_01Their bodies, though, don't can't hit the they can't like absorb oxygen. Like if a propeller hits it and a bubble gets in there, there's no way for it to get out. So that's they end up at the turtle hospital. We just learned that when we went to Key West. Thank you, everyone. Yeah. Wow. I was wondering about that. They have to put these little buoys on them so that they can level out. Did you say buoys? Like little buoys, like little tiny things. Yeah. Turtle buoys. Turtle buoys. Yes. They have to put on a turn, another turtle buoy. Yeah, buoy. B-O-U-Y.
SPEAKER_00So this process is called internal nope. Entrails. I assume that's right. Okay. Did that make sense? We have it.
SPEAKER_01We're not going to correct it.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Go ahead. Enteral ventilation. The researchers envisioned that in the case of humans, it would involve delivering a pleurifluor carbon liquid containing a very high concentration of oxygen directly into the rectum. Hell damn near killed them.
SPEAKER_03You guys are nerds. Do it. Dumb. No.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03I'm not drilling these.
SPEAKER_00That's just cheap. We'll get to the bottom of this.
SPEAKER_03The idea. Now you're just doing it. Whatever.
SPEAKER_00The idea is that oxygen passes through the intestinal walls and makes its way into the bloodstream, bypassing any issues a patient may have breathing the more traditional way. It may smell like shit, but hey.
SPEAKER_03So what you're saying is we're going to hang you under the water and then we're going to put a tube in your butt and see if it works.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, Amy. Why you gotta bring us down?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I mean this could save lives. Where's my little catum?
SPEAKER_00The first clinical trial. Yeah, you it again. I thought that was gas. All right, never mind. Do you have gas too? No farting sound. Yeah, where's the farting sound?
SPEAKER_03Then people will listen.
SPEAKER_00The first clinical The first clinical trial wasn't testing how well the method worked, just so you know.
SPEAKER_03So people died?
SPEAKER_00It was it just focused on whether it was safe. To that end. Well, to that end. 27. That's what that's. Well, we don't have to. To that end, 27 healthy male volunteers in Japan, again, why women are smarter. Fake it. In Japan were tasked with holding between 25 and 1,500 milliliters of a non-oxygenated version of the liquid in their rectum for 60 minutes.
SPEAKER_03So stupid.
SPEAKER_00No serious adverse effects.
SPEAKER_03Got that seaweed stuff and made a bubble. I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Gillyweed? Was that actually makes sense? I don't remember side here next week. That's true. That's sure.
SPEAKER_03Makes more sense than butt flavoring.
SPEAKER_00Thank you. No serious effects were reported, although participants taking the highest volumes did feel some abdominal bloating, discomfort, and pain. Other vital signs remained unchanged. And only seven participants weren't able to hold their breath for the full hour.
SPEAKER_03So they died?
SPEAKER_00Well, they didn't.
SPEAKER_03Not part of the report.
SPEAKER_00Do it. Do it. Um this is the first human data, and the results are limited.
SPEAKER_01Oh, all right. Listen. You were thinking it. Don't give me that shit.
SPEAKER_00You just ruined it. Now we have to do this seriously. The first human data and the results are limited solely to demonstrating the safety of the procedure and not its effective. I already read that part. You read that part. Jesus. But the next step will allow us to evaluate how effective the process is for delivering oxygen to the bloodstream. The next trial will use the properly oxygenated version of the liquid and test how much and for how long it needs to be held within the rectum to clinically improve a patient's blood oxygen levels. Yeah, we have to test those.
SPEAKER_03Sounds like something we shouldn't mess with. It sounds like the scuba thing when you get like too many air bubbles in your blood.
SPEAKER_00To volunteer, please contact 1-800-1-900-something or other. Yeah.
SPEAKER_021-900.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. If you lonely cut dial 900. Yeah. I I like the story, Rick. I thought that was I thought that was a great story. Good. Good story.
SPEAKER_03That was a couple minutes there.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I didn't want to cut him off. He's doing great. Oh no, he's doing awesome. I also have uh he's uh sighing during the uh proof of medical reasons to do the changes.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, right. I'm like, there's gonna be a fart at the end.
SPEAKER_03There's gonna be a fart at the end. We wouldn't do that.
SPEAKER_00We should. No. There it does. I'm not gonna do that. Yeah, I got one on my phone.
SPEAKER_01You only do it on the fart noise on the tube.
SPEAKER_00I can give you one.
SPEAKER_02Do you not have a fart noise? What kind of machine do you have? That's no fun.
SPEAKER_01Listen, this I but you know what? Go on, Rick. I wouldn't have to listen to this shit. I got the sky. I smelled right too. I have the I have the football.
SPEAKER_00I can just go home when I want. I am home. You're right, you are home. I have another story about why the uh the curious history of the piggy bank and why it's shared as a pig.
SPEAKER_03Really?
SPEAKER_01Do it.
SPEAKER_00Let me give him some music. There you go. There you go, Rick. Piggy bank. Before there were coin jars, there were pigs, real pigs. In modest households across Europe, pigs were literal stores of value. Piglet brought in spring could be fattened on kitchen scraps and garden waste, would provide both food and money. As the Bank of Canada Museum puts it, a pig, a real one, is an excellent store of value. So in many rural communities, a family's pig was essentially its bank. Okay. So a source of meat, trades or goods, or emergency cash. This value was collected by slaughtering the little baby pig. Just like how you might break a piggy bank to access the coins that it stores.
SPEAKER_03You smash it?
SPEAKER_00Well, I mean you gotta have it. It's a horrible story. During the writing of this story, no actual pigs were killed.
SPEAKER_01Um Amy's like, I don't know, I don't believe you. I don't think I believe you.
SPEAKER_00Someone who's had a stroke of good fortune is said to have Schwein Gakhabd. Sounds about right. Schwein Schwein gehabt. Is that right? Schweinghobbed. I don't know, Rick. Literally means got pig. He's looking at Schwein Gehabt. Don't you know German? Do you? Yes, you pretend to.
SPEAKER_03I pretend to.
SPEAKER_02Acting.
SPEAKER_00In Vienders now. Exactly. I hope I'm not swearing it to anybody in German, but yeah, good fortune is said to have Schwein Ghapen. Okay. Literally got pig. Got pig. So that means that means money back then. That means pigs were lucky. They're very lucky for the families.
SPEAKER_03They could eat.
SPEAKER_00They could eat. Yeah, look at them. They can sell them.
SPEAKER_03Smash them with a hammer.
unknownWell.
SPEAKER_01I think you're all gonna know the attack. There we are.
SPEAKER_03Isn't that a Christmas vacation thing? That's all I have. I'm gonna cramp them in the bag and hit them all that with a hammer.
SPEAKER_00That's right. Squirrel.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00Boy, we think. That's all I have.
SPEAKER_01That's good. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03We might have trailed off there at the end there.
SPEAKER_04No, no, it's fine.
SPEAKER_01You don't have any more? Oh, I got more. I got a lot more. Give me one.
SPEAKER_00Give us one more. Ten defunct fast food restaurants that people used to love.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Okay. Alright. All right. Can I can I see if I can name some? Absolutely. Amy, you get you name two and then I'll name two. Oh, jeez. So restaurants that aren't hard. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go Hardy's. Because I haven't seen a Hardy's in a while. And then I'm gonna go. Oh God. I can't think of the name of it. Um like go ahead, Rick. That's the only one. I only got one, I guess. Okay. Amy? I don't know. Oh, Lums? I remember Lums went away.
SPEAKER_03What the fuck is Lums?
SPEAKER_01Thank you. Exactly. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00Go ahead, Rick.
SPEAKER_03Ponderosa?
SPEAKER_00Oh, well. I should have probably told you that. I think this is nationwide. Oh, this is all. Not Wisconsin, but way to go. But still, Burger Chef? I remember Burger Chefs. Okay, Burger Chef remembered right. Burger Chef, I remember, 1970s, which was peak. Literally, they have you know, Burger Chef, hamburgers. We sell millions nationwide and shakes. Doesn't that sound familiar? Yeah. Sounds familiar. They don't say billions sold, though.
SPEAKER_03Somebody had more money.
SPEAKER_00Right? Um, Red Barn. I remember Red Barnes. I remember Red Barnes. Yes. Right. They're known for chickens. They had one in uh McFarlane. More than 3,000 locations across 19 states and several countries. Was a major player in the fast food landscape in Ohio in 1961. Orner would put them out. Um Chain Pioneer Pioneered salad bars and self-service beverage stations long before the came in industry. And despite the one of the chain self-serving McDonald's, Big Mac corporate mergers and rising competition in the 70s led to Red Barnes bankruptcy.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they had a good chicken. Yeah. Burger Queen. Druthers. Druthers? Druthers?
SPEAKER_01Is it Druthers or Druders?
SPEAKER_00Druthers. How's it spelled? D-R-U-T-H-E-R-S. I think that's the thing. Druthers. I could be wrong. Founded in 56 in Winter Haven, Florida. I never heard of that. Two years after Burger King's debut.
unknownBurger King.
SPEAKER_00Burger Queen. After forming an equity partnership with Dairy Queen in the late 1980s, most Druthers locations became Dairy Queen franchises, leaving only one independent Druthers in Campbellsville, Kentucky. This one I've never heard of. Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips.
SPEAKER_01I have not heard of that.
SPEAKER_00Is that were they like English? Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips.
SPEAKER_03Fish and Chips is English.
SPEAKER_0069 in Columbus, Ohio. You forget where Columbus is located, like right in the middle of the world. Um capitalized on the British pop culture craze with its fast food take on fish and chips.
SPEAKER_01No. Fish and chips.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you gotta go to the pub in England. They have four scouts.
SPEAKER_00So they were just like fledgling. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01We have almost more listeners than that.
SPEAKER_00Um we don't. Do we? No. No, we don't. By the late 1980s, most locations had been closed or rebranded. Only three actually stand alone as Arthur Trecher's restaurants remain. Oh, I guess so they're not closed. That was a lie. Lie, Rick. Henry's hamburgers? No. Nope. Chicago?
SPEAKER_01Chicago's? Chicago. I remember Chicago restaurant. There was one on the east side. They had really burger there.
SPEAKER_00No, it this no, I'm still on Henry's hamburgers.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you are?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You guys want to do the show with our money? I'll just play off. I want to play with the buttons.
SPEAKER_00He was like la la la la la la beep boop beep. Racks? Racks? Roast beef. Like racks.
SPEAKER_03That sounds like maggots.
SPEAKER_00Nice racks of roast beef. 67 in Springfield, Ohio. Everything happens in Ohio. 500 locations over 38 states.
SPEAKER_01They got a lot going on.
SPEAKER_00Misguided rebrand featuring the controversial Mr. Delicious mascot and an expanded menu that included pizza and Chinese food led to confusion and declining sales. Bankruptcy.
SPEAKER_03WWE restaurants.
SPEAKER_01You guys remember when Pizza Hut had a buff, like a salad bar?
SPEAKER_03Yep, Pizza Hut.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01That was a great place.
SPEAKER_00That was awesome.
SPEAKER_03I wonder what happened.
SPEAKER_00Like this probably cost too much or people sneezing on it. Yeah, coughed on it. Cost a people. Sandy's Sandy's restaurants. Remember Custard? I remember those. 58 in Peoria, Illinois, they started. The big Big Scott burger was their thing. 1972, the chain merged with Hardy's. Oh, that's why they folded. Uh-huh. Ah, you mentioned Hardy's. I did. Hardy's is Sandy's name was phased out. There's a few independent franchises. Make fun of Hardy's the worst loss. This one, I don't think it's going to be any question why they went out of business. Pump and taco. Pump and taco. Well, I don't know. Um founded in 56 is a driving stand. Pump and taco. Oh, pumping taco.
SPEAKER_01I thought you said pup. Pumpin'.
SPEAKER_00I think it's pump. Pump and taco. Is it pumping taco? Kind of sounds wrong.
SPEAKER_03That sounds weird. Right? Isn't that sounds weird? Pump and taco.
SPEAKER_00Exactly. Yes, like a grocery store. Oh, see. Oh, you went there. That's divisions.
SPEAKER_03I wouldn't buy groceries in there. You couldn't.
SPEAKER_00Pumpin' Taco was uh founded in 56 in Pasadena, California. Served an annual but much loved menu of hot dogs, tacos, burgers, pastrami sandwiches, and tostadas.
SPEAKER_03I think for pastrami, you should go to like Chicago or New York.
SPEAKER_00Right, not pumping pumping taco.
SPEAKER_03Pump and taco.
SPEAKER_01That sounds like you squirted it out of a tube, so there's a Quaker steak in a lube, right? Have you guys heard of that place? Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03In Iowa, they have come and go guest stations. Oh, that's right. Oh my God, we have pictures of that. That's right. We actually stopped them, balls.
SPEAKER_02We take a picture of that. Literally with a K. With a K. Come and go. Welcome to Iowa.
SPEAKER_01I don't think we could go any further. That was the last one I had. Pump and taco. Come and go. We're gonna try and do another one of these, hopefully soon. But thanks for joining, and y'all have a good one, eh? Bye. Bye.
SPEAKER_03Happy Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_01Happy Thanksgiving.
