(03:16):
National Avoid Poverty Day. That's why you're headed to work
to pretend you're being Yeah, so I'm here. Now here's
a weird one National joy Germ Day. What January eighth,
nineteen eighty one, Joan E. White of Syracuse, New York,
was reading the newspaper when she came across the story
about a California couple who offered to worry for others

(03:39):
in exchange for money. White founded Joy Germs Unlimited and
designated January eighth the Joy Germ Day, on what also
happened to be her late mother, Nora's birthday. It's a
data sprind cheer through germs of joy. What a great
business plan, Joy. I have never heard the term germs

(03:59):
of joy.

Speaker 8 (04:00):
But I like that plan of you pay me and

What are you doing? What's Show and Tell? Yeah, there

Rotation Day. The fact that the Earth rotates on his
axis is common knowledge today, but until the mid nineteenth
century it was merely a guess. I guess are rotating

(04:58):
long actions.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Physicist John Begnai Clip is known for approving through experium
experiments that the Earth rotates on its axis. Hey, as
long as our mother planet keeps doing that, we'll be fine.

Speaker 8 (07:45):
Of all sorts, brought to you by the Will Height
Law Firm injury lawyers. Go to Willhightwinds dot com.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Go to the music, Please get the Jamie Ben scored
on a power play two minutes and seventeen seconds into overtime,
and yours are rallied from an early three goal deficit
to defeat the New York Rangers five to four last night. Okay, Stars,
Jay gotten your made twenty one, says and Dallas defense.

(08:10):
When Thomas Harley had a goal and to assist Harley's
slapshot tight it at four all seventeen twenty one of
the third period, Dallas and nighted New York's goalie Jonathan
Quick his four hundred career win. Oh boo hoo. The
Rangers are coming off of six to two victory Sunday
in Chicago. Haven't won consecutive games since seventeen and nineteen

(08:34):
of November. Doesn't make me sad, No, it's the Rangers.
We ain't worried about that. New York led three to
nothing with less than two minutes in, but Dallas tied
it with goals by Matt Shane Van, Gelly Dadanoff and
Jason robertson Old Robo. Last night's win made it three
to roll where Dallas Stars. The Stars are still undefeated

(08:56):
this year. Wo I know, I know, it's only eight
days into the first month of twenty twenty five. So
what like we said it yesterday, it still sounds good
and it's fun for Stars fans. We'll take it. Dallas
now travels to Philly to go up against the Flyers
tomorrow night. The puck will drop at six o'clock.

Speaker 8 (09:13):
And let's hear it for your Dallas Mavericks. Mavericks snapped
a five game skid with a one eighteen to ninety
seven win over the Los Angeles Lakers last night at
the American Airline Center.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
It was the second game of a back to.

Speaker 8 (09:26):
Back schedule that saw the MAVs lose to Memphis the
night before. Now, the MAVs ended their losing street without
their top scorers. Luka Donjek has been out with the
left calf strain since Christmas, and Kyrie Irving has been
sidelined the past two games with that pesky bulging disc
in his back. He's expected to be out one to
two weeks. Unibrown man Anthony Davis. He led the Lakers

(09:50):
with twenty one points and twelve rebounds. Lebron James added
eighteen points, ten rebounds and eight and assists. Los Angeles
lost it second straight and for the third time in
five games.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Now.

Speaker 8 (09:59):
Dallas finished the first half on eleven to zero run
to take a five point lead. They kept it going
early in the third quarter, building a sixteen point advantage
over the Lakers. Up next for your Dallas Mavericks, They're
going to host the Portland Trailblazers tomorrow night at the
American Airline Center. But if you're going to the game,
please drive carefully. We're expecting winter weather.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Oh that's right, talking about it all damn week and
all last week.

Speaker 9 (10:25):
A couple of days to go before old man winter
weather arrives in DFW, and another couple of days before
the Cotton Bowl. Fans descend on at and T Stadium
as well.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
The City of.

Speaker 9 (10:36):
Arlington Brian trucks or prep bridges in the Entertainment district
are ready to take it and city crews first Brian highways,
including I twenty thirty, three, sixty and two eighty seven,
before moving to the area around AT and T Stadium,
where UT will take on Ohio State Friday night.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
For the Cotton Bowl Classic.

Speaker 9 (10:54):
Now, we're guessing it's not going to be too terrible
for travelers to be able to make it to this.
Of course that could change, but so far it looks
like it could be a lot worse.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
You should be all right trying to get out to
that Friday night. It's gonna be okay. Yeah, that's that's
what we're speculating.

Speaker 9 (11:12):
Yeah, it's not the first time other nature threatened to
screw up a sporting event that put North Texas on
a national stage. This happened in twenty eleven. There was ice,
there was snow in the havoc on Us. You guys
remember that. Yeah, Man Arlington prepared to host the Super
Bowl and six people were injured when melting ice and
snow fell from the roof of Jerry World Ou son

(11:33):
of a bitch. It's something stadium officials say they've worked
to prevent from happening again.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
We shall see be safe out there and speaking of
the Cotton Bowl, you take us long Horns in the
Ohio State buck Eyes will face off at at and
T Stadium in Arlingson on Friday. Many of those playing
in the game are not strangers to Dallas Fort Worth.
For example, there's Calvin Simpson Hunt, a cornerback from Walksahatchee
High School. He's playing for Ohio State. One of his

(11:59):
team mates is Peyton Pierce, a linebacker from Lovejoy High School.
As far as Homi's playing for the Texas Longhorns, they're
just too many to mention all their names, but it
adds up to thirty former players wow from high schools
around here playing Texas Quarterback Quinn Ewers played football at
South Lake Carroll High School back in the day. The
Horns have several schools representing North Texas including Dent and Ryan,

(12:22):
Southolk Cliff, Duncanville, McKinney, Alan, DeSoto, Arlington, Martin Flower, Mount Risco, Waitland, Richland, Highland,
part prosper Arlington, Buie, and All Saints Episcopal. Yeah, welcome back, boys,
And if you can brave the crappy weather on Friday
and you'd like to see the game in person, the
price of tickets have gone down a lot, just like

(12:44):
the temperature is gonna yeah. Hey.

Speaker 8 (12:46):
The Dallas Cowboys underwhelming twenty twenty four season ended without
a playoff birth, and now attention shifts to the off
season with a roster that needs reshaping. Some familiar faces
or expected to part ways with the team, from underperforming
players to aging veterans. Here are four Cowboys who are
unlikely to return in twenty twenty five. Trey Lance's brief

(13:09):
stint with the Dallas Cowboys culminated in a lackluster performance
during Week eighteen against the Washington Commanders. Plus he knows
that Dak is going to be back next season. Seven
times All Pro guard Zach Martin has been a cornerstone
of the Cowboys offensive line for a decade, but age
and injuries are catching up to the thirty three year old. Regardless,

(13:31):
though his legacy in Dallas is very secure, Zach is
a future Hall of Famer and a lock for the
Cowboys' Ring of Honor. And Brandon Cooks, who was brought
in to be the Cowboys number two wide receiver but
failed to live up to expectations. Plagued by injuries and
inconsistent play, He's probably going to be gone as well
Rico Dawdle, who had a career best season with oney

(13:52):
seven seventy nine yards but only two touchdowns. He had
a lot of rushing yards but only two touchdowns. While
his performance was solid, it's unlikely that Dallas will break
the bank to retain them, especially since they're gonna have
to back up that brinkstruck for Michael Parsons.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 9 (14:11):
Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is not necessarily one
speculated to pack his bags, but he has proposed to
his longtime girlfriend, Mike Zimmer heading for the old shotgun platform.
Katerina Elizabeth Mike Tin. They're taking them next step towards
the altar. She did indeed say yes. Mike Tin is

(14:32):
an entrepreneur. She is a model with a large social
media following. She's been featured in SI and a lot more. Now,
beyond modeling, she has an in depth background in finance.
Isn't that a unique combination hot model, smart with money?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
If you ever heard of such a thing, Actually, very
rare scenario.

Speaker 9 (14:51):
Run Zimmer may need that, he might need that NBA
Northwestern University.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
She's a smart lady. She's quite a catch.

Speaker 9 (15:00):
While it hasn't been the strongest year for the team
or Mike Zimmer's defensive unit, at least he's closing out
the season on a personal I know.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Okay, y'all remember Bill Bass Sol number forty yea. He
was a force for the Cowboys from nineteen eighty three
to nineteen ninety seventy, won three Super Bowls in the nineties,
and he was one of the few to play for
head coaches Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and Barry Switzer. Well,
I remember hosting a pregame party at a hotel in

(15:27):
Grapevine when Jerry had his first and maybe his last
Super Bowl. Since everything that could go wrong did go wrong.
I sat down with Bill Bates, so we drank beer
and talked football. He's always been a class act. Then
later on I drank with the Snake Kenny stayed were
that noo Now. Over the weekend, he and his family
traveled from Florida to North Texas for the Cowboys season

(15:49):
finale against the Commanders on Saturday. Base united with old
friends and several hugs from teammates like Cowboys defensive back
Everson Walls, who I saw Tommy Davidson Show, Mister Cowboy,
Bob Lilly, Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin, and Jerry himself.
Then on Sunday, Base was honored as the Cowboys Legend

(16:10):
of the Game, with his children, grandchildren, and wife Denise
by his side. Now, at age sixty three, Bill Bates
struggles with post concussion syndrome. His cognitive abilities and communication
skills are in decline, but he still has a great attitude.
If he doesn't get into the Cowboys' Ring of Honor soon,
something is seriously wrong.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Didn't hear that, Jerry, Yeah, Jerry, I heard it. He
said you wanted something? Dull assam. The Freaking Full File.
Next on the Ball of Them Holler by Malima day
Doll Jalas Hoors Classic Rock lone Star ninety two five.
Coming up our first round of Askest Stuff questions from

(16:54):
the Ask a Stuff Hotline. But now it's time for
the Freaking Full File, just about every one's favorite part
of the six o'clock hour. A forty three year old
inmate in Georgia named Kenneth Gibbs was caught trying to
smuggle a lot of junk in his trunk In other words,
he put things up his pooper and tried to sneak

(17:16):
them into the prison. And it's quite a laundry list.
He had up his boom, two vape cartridges, four syringes,
one cigarette lighter, three batteries. Let's see, one cigarette lighter,
a half a gram of marijuana up his ass.

Speaker 8 (17:35):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
He later told prison officials that he was afraid to
fart because he was worried that if he did one
or more of his items he had up his pooper
would shoot out of its hiding play in a contraband
don't na my god. Wow, Kenneth is facing multiple charges
and could be looking at more time. He was initially
locked up for theft, possession of meth, and violating parole. Now,

(18:02):
we mentioned at first the show that we got stories
about people getting paid doing stuff nobody ever thought of. Yeah,
Anna Belle, your turn. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 8 (18:12):
When Shoji Moromoto was fired from his office job in
twenty eighteen, his boss had criticized him for lacking initiative
and not doing anything of value for the company. Well,
the jokes on him, because Marimoto, now forty one years old,
has since spun a very lucrative career out of doing

(18:33):
absolutely nothing just hanging out.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
How do you make money just doing nothing? Okay?

Speaker 8 (18:38):
So he is known bo as the rental do nothing
guy in Japan. Morimoto's day job involves loaning himself out
for money to strangers who seek someone's company for almost
anything at all. Now, these requests can range from waiting
for a marathon runner at the finishing line for like,
you know, cheering a mom, being video called while a
board client redecorates and cleans a room. Once, a client

(19:01):
who could not attend a concert with a friend actually
rented Marimoto out to take her place, so he got
to go to a free concert. From the ludicrous to
the mundane, Morimoto will simply show up and do nothing
other than what he is asked to do, except for sex.
Sex is completely off the table now, Morimoto tolls CNBC

(19:21):
he receives about one thousand requests per year. He lets
his clients decide how much to pay him. He used
to charge a flat rate of between ten thousand yen
and thirty thousand yen, which is about sixty five dollars
to one hundred and ninety five dollars in American money
for a two to three hour session. He earned Are
you ready for this last year?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (19:40):
Eighty thousand dollars doing nothing, doing nothing, just being rented
out to hang out with people.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
What do the Japanese always think of this stuff?

Speaker 8 (19:49):
I don't know, but I think I'm going to do
this business plan for sure.

Speaker 9 (19:52):
Yeah, right, do nothing person. Here's another one from the
country of Japan.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yes.

Speaker 9 (19:57):
This is the story of a middle aged Japanese man
that a lot of Fuji TV watchers know as.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Uncle Praise, Uncle Praise.

Speaker 9 (20:06):
This guy has been making a living by standing on
the street showering strangers with praises for a small fee.
So Uncle Praise first made news headlines in Japan September
of last year, and that's when Fuji TV released a
little documentary on him of his unique profession just being
a public praiser, apparently for tips. He's forty three years old,

(20:27):
reportedly used to work for a company in his hometown,
but at one point he got so addicted to gambling
that he lost just about everything, including his family, his job, and.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
A place to live.

Speaker 9 (20:37):
Pretty rude awakening that helped him beat a gambling addiction,
though that's the easy way to beat it. I guess,
and I always dreamed of being a street performer, so
he just kind of went for it. He didn't know
how to do magic tricks or singing, some of the
things you see buskers doing on the street, so he
decided to stand.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Out there and praise people for tips. You'll look nice,
so good, ruble, what you've done for your head.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Here's a dollar. He said.

Speaker 9 (21:06):
If I give praise, there'll be fewer people who will
feel bad. Uncle Praise, thought to himself. So he started
going around Tokyo holding up a piece of cardboard that says,
I praise you so much. The trick, Yeah, according to
Uncle praise. The trick to being successful at this, not
to overdo it. So when he meets people for the
first time, he gives them a little compliment on their appearance,

(21:29):
He learns new things about the person, and then, very
much like a salesperson, he just drops the hammer and
closes the freaking deal.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
I guess.

Speaker 9 (21:37):
On average he compliments more than thirty people a day
that earns him about ten thousand yen or sixty five
dollars American.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Every single day that he works for thirty praises, Yeah, God,
praise the lord that Okay, this is a funny one.
When I read this, I went damn. A man was
arrested in Connecticut for screaming profanities and wearing a helmet
with a dildo on it as he rode by a church.

(22:10):
State police identified the man as fifty two year old
Jason Mitchell. Troopers were familiar with mister Mitchell from similar
reports in the past. Police said they were called to
Mitchell's home nine times last year between September and November
for numerous incidents. Those included him riding his bicycle while

(22:30):
naked with a cowboy hat on, and retrieving items from
his neighbor's trash while naked. When asked about the helmet
with a secret toy on it, Mitchell told reporters that
he was trying to recreate a German helmet that his
grandfather wore during World War II. What was he trying
to get that dildo on his helmet so the Germans

(22:50):
would crack up and won't be able to fight. Troopers
also said he altered street signs near his house to
include offensive curse word. Oh man, this boy is a
prize for the freaking fool five. Yes, definitely treatment our
first round of ASCO Stuff. Question coming up, pay attention,

(23:11):
you might lean something.

Speaker 8 (23:12):
And for the first time in twenty twenty five, coming
up next hour, we're gonna play Choose your News, and
there is a theme this week. It's all about Elvis
all the Yeah, you guess what story bow made up
and choose your news and you're gonna win tickets to
see Cheap Trick and Concert. They're coming to Texas Trusty
Youth Theater Thursday, March sixth, and we have your tickets

(23:33):
right here on the bow and Them show coming up
around seven fifty here on lone Star ninety two to
five Sloan shar.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Ninety two five. David Bowie would have been seventy eight
years old today. Bout He passed away in twenty sixteen
of cancer, and just like Neil Peart, he kept it
secret to everybody except those that were really really close
to him. I'd love that he shares a birthday with Elvis.
That's pretty cool. Oh man, they're probably jamming in Heaven Ride.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Now.

Speaker 8 (23:59):
His real name David Jones. You got to change it
because of the monkey as.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
A Davy Jones. That's right, all right. Today is ASCOD
stuff Today. We have the Aska stuff hotline two one
four eight six six eighty six hundred. You didn't call
it anytime. So let's get rolling. Are we ready, kids,
Yes we are. Here's the first caution.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
I was just wondering.

Speaker 11 (24:20):
On land, speed is measured in miles per hour and
depth is measured in feet.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (24:26):
On the ocean, speed is measured in knot and depth
is measured in fathoms. I was just wondering why the difference.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Is, Well, I wonder myself.

Speaker 8 (24:36):
Okay, so there are nautical miles.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
And there are statute miles.

Speaker 8 (24:40):
They convert easily, so distances traveled are the same. They
might simply have a different number of miles. The reason
nautical miles are different is because of the equator, each
degree of longitude is pretty much sixty miles, so they're
more handy for navigation across the ocean. This is the
same reason you might want to use them in the sky.
A simple char will tell you the factor you would

(25:01):
need to convert nautical miles into degrees at different latitudes. Now,
a ship's sea speed at sea, which is typically expressed
in knots. One knot is equivalent to one nautical mile
per hour meaning a ship traveling at ten knots is
moving at ten nautical miles per hour sea travel. Fathom
is a unit of menagement measurement for depth equal to

(25:25):
six feet.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
So there you have it. There you go. That's how
it works. I hope that made sense. Yeah, good, unless
you are too stone to figure out all right happens.
Here's another who stereo radio in win? Who invented stereo
radio and win? Well? That would be British engineer Alan

(25:47):
Dower burlme. He invented stereo radio in nineteen thirty one.
He was inspired to create stereo after being frustrated with
a sound reproduction in early talkies movies with dialogue. He
noticed that the sound from a single speaker didn't match
up with the actors on screen. So Blumline filed a

(26:07):
patent for his two channel audio system on December fourteenth,
nineteen thirty one. The patent covered many ideas related to stereos,
some of which are still used today.

Speaker 8 (26:18):
I remember when they used to call am radio van
go radio because you only hear them one channel.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
That's a good one. That's a good one. All right?

Speaker 5 (26:27):
Here, yeah, Rascal here from Addington, I've been using w
t forty four years.

Speaker 7 (26:34):
But I never knew what W and the D and
the forty man, So can you guys help me out
with that question?

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Let me enlighten you, my good sir. W D forty
stands for water displatement displacement fortieth formula. The forty is
a reference to the number of attempts it took to
develop the product, So you know when they got to
nineteenth to thirty ninth, they went yet one more truck,

(27:02):
give it one more try, hey success. It was originally
developed in the nineteen fifties by the Rocket Chemical Company
to prevent rust and corrosion on the Atlas missile. The
product was first sold to the public back in nineteen
fifty eight. Can I have it in my garage?

Speaker 9 (27:20):
Everybody should have done duct tape and WD forty crucial.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
That's the answer to survival, all right?

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Moving along, My question is which police officers can write
you a ticket? Can a constable write you a ticket?
Because it have to be a traffic cop. Can anybody
in a uniform that's a cop write.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
You a ticket?

Speaker 8 (27:46):
So it depends on the state. Some states allow any
peace officer to make a traffic stop anywhere in the state,
but the ticket must be prosecuted in the area where
the offense occurred. And in Texas, peace officers are authorized
to enforce state law across the entire state.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
So yes, a.

Speaker 8 (28:05):
Constable can give you a speeding ticket. In Texas As,
they are considered licensed police officers with the authority to
issue traffic citations and perform various law enforcement functions, including
people over for speeding violations. I had always heard that
like on the Dallas North Tollway, only DPS could a
state trooper could pull you over a Dallas police officer.

(28:29):
You know how people always slow down when they see
a Dallas Police officer on the tollway. Well, I had
always heard that you could only be stopped by a
state trooper on the tollway.

Speaker 9 (28:37):
But no, anyone, that guy must have just gotten written
up for a ticket, because.

Speaker 8 (28:45):
By a constable ticket someone.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, okay, here's another AFO and an AL. Anyway, I
just wanted to know that there're any day that doesn't
have it happening on it. You do it every day.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
There's nothing going on.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Everything happened in that day back in the bath. So
in other words, because at the first of the show,
we always tell you what day it's. It's something called
checky Day. Yeah, and it has what day. And there's
never a day that doesn't have anything.

Speaker 8 (29:18):
Like yesterday was National Past Guest.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yes, yeah, No matter how stupid it is, there's a
day for it somewhere during the year.

Speaker 8 (29:26):
So there's not a day where there isn't something going on.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
No, we never have that.

Speaker 9 (29:31):
Well that's good because then we'd have to declare it
there ain't nothing going on today.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Days ain't nothing going on here today. Okay, here's another Hi.

Speaker 7 (29:40):
I saw a documentary on Stevie Rayvaughn. It said he
had a child when he was eighteen. Uh, the internet
said he didn't have any children, So what's up with that?

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Well, the Internet is right. Stevie Rayvaughn did not have
any children. He was unmarried at the time of his
death in a helicopter crash on August twenty seventh, nineteen nineties.
Brother Jimmy Vaughan became the next of kin and inherited
his estate. Jimmy continues to benefit from the estate of Stevie,
including all income from sales of Stevie Ray Vaughan's music.

(30:13):
So even though Stevie Ray Vaughn didn't have any kids
to leave anything to. Any income after his death is
still kept in the Vaughn family. So Stevie Ray is
kind of like Elvis.

Speaker 8 (30:23):
Everybody's popping up saying I'm his kid, I'm his kid.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
There you go. Well, don't believe it. If somebody says
that with the rainbow's in the dark, he'll have to
take my word for it that it's actually there. Well,
unless you have special goggles. There you go. Ronnie James. Deal,
there's another guy we miss a lot. He was a
good dute. He really was. Okay, ask us stuff day.
One of the ways you can get in touch with
us is by email. But I have an email from

(30:49):
somebody who heard us talking about that Betty Taylor, woman
from Ennis, who's ninety four and is gonna dance with
the thee because she was one of the first ones. Well,
she says, if the Kilgo Arranger Etes got started in
nineteen forty, when did the Radio City Roquettes start. The

(31:10):
origin of the Roquettes can be traced in nineteen twenty five,
that's one hundred years ago, when a guy named Russell
Market of Saint Louis, Missouri, built a group of women
dancers as the Missouri Rockets. Following a positive reception locally,
the dance team began a nationwide tour. Among their admiring
audiences in New York City was Samuel roxy rothefel owner

(31:34):
of the Roxy Theater. He acquired the troop, doubled its size,
and dubbed the dancers the roxy Ets. After nineteen thirty two,
the opening of Radio City Music Hall, which was at
the time the world's largest indoor theater, he enlarged the
troop again in order to fill the hall's big stage.
The dance team became known as the Roquettes in nineteen

(31:56):
thirty four. Now, the world famous American precision team that's
known for its annual Christmas Spectacular are the signature act
of Radio City Music Hall within Rockefeller Center in Mintown, Manhattan,
New York City. I have seen the Rockets and they
are awesome. You seen them live?

Speaker 8 (32:13):
Oh yeah, I've never seen Radio City Music Hall during
Christmas time that's the time.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
To go oh yeah, that's when they do it.

Speaker 8 (32:19):
Here's an email from Stephanie who says she listens in Saxy.
So she says, I started dating a guy. A couple
of months ago, and I recently found out that he
has a third nipple, O Chandler, being from friends, you
remember that, so she says, I thought this was so bizarre,
but he says pretty common, and that several celebrities have.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
More than two nipples. Is this true?

Speaker 8 (32:42):
Well, guess what, Stephanie, It is true. It's called a
super numerary nipple. It's an additional instance of nipple occurring
in mammals, including humans and monkeys. They are often mistaken
for moles. Studies have shown the prevalence of supernumerary nipples
as one in forty people will have a third or

(33:03):
additional nipple. Celebrities with three nipples include Mark Wahlberg, Yes,
Carrie Underwood.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Carrie under where is it? Is it in the middle?

Speaker 8 (33:15):
So she actually thought it was a mole, believe it
or not, And then they told her no, it's a
third nipple, so she had hers removed.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Most of those looked like pieces of pepperoni.

Speaker 8 (33:23):
Also, zach Efron reportedly has a third nipple, and Harry
styles of one direction. Yes he has four nipples, oh, fourrnipples?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yes, good lord, he's almost like a female doll.

Speaker 8 (33:38):
Okay, And yesterday bo you mentioned that it was National
Bobblehead Day. Yes, so I got an email somebody wanted
to know who invented bobbleheads. So the history of bobbleheads
is very complex. It dates back, are you ready for this,
hundreds upon hundreds of years, with origins in Asian and Germany.
So we don't know exactly who invented them. But in

(33:59):
the seventeenth century, Asia produced what they call temple nodters,
figurines of Buddha and other religious figures that appear to
nod in approval. In the late seventeen hundreds and early
eighteen hundreds, German toymakers began producing bobblehead dolls with spring
connected heads.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
They were called nodters or bobbers. Uh huh.

Speaker 8 (34:21):
And in nineteen sixty Major League Baseball created and sold
bobbleheads of Roberto Clemente, Mickey Manno, Roger Marris, and Willie
Mays to celebrate the World Series, and since then most
Major League ballparks will always have like a bobblehead night, right, Yeah, yeah,
if you love bobbleheads, there's actually a National Bobblehead Hall

(34:41):
of Fame Museum in Milwaukee.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Yes, so there you have it. We need a bow bobblehead. No, no, yes,
I don't want my head to be twice my body
side likeing babbleheads are Hey, here's one from Matt to
cat Matthew Poulconnell. He says, where did the term fle
flying colors come from? Like he passed with flying colors? Well,
let me explain. The idiom with flying colors originated from

(35:08):
the age of exploration, when ships would return to port
with their flags or colors raised or lowered to indicate
success or defeat. A ship that had been successful in
trade or battle would return to port with its flags
raised a flying color. See. A ship that had been
unsuccessful would take down its colors. They called that striking

(35:31):
its colors when they came into port. The phrase with
flying colors is used to describe someone who has completed
a task with success or did it with little troubles,
such as passing a test. I passed with flying color.
The idiom flying colors had been in use since seventeen hundreds,
and the phrase passed with flying colors has been used

(35:52):
since the latter eighteen hundreds. Symptoms of passed with flying colors.
I aced it, I breezed through it, nailed it, I
sailed through it, and I swept through it. Those are
some of the idioms for flying colors.

Speaker 8 (36:06):
And now you know.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Now you know the untold story. That's why we're here's
an egg. Well not for me and Dallas fort Worst
Classic Rock lone Star ninety two to five. We're about
to play choose your news for some tickets to see
Cheap Trick. But speaking of Ozzy Osbourne, Yeah, he has

(36:28):
been open about his struggle with alcohol and drug addiction
throughout his life. He recently revealed a specific way he
got through the Christmas season, a time of year he
said gets rogged up me r because that's how they say.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
He didn't like Christmas at all. He told The Son
in an interview published on New Year's Eve. I bought
a barrel with twenty eight gallons of booze for me
and I drunken before it was Christmas Eve.

Speaker 8 (36:51):
Twenty eight gallons imagine. Yeah, God, he's sober now.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
He said, I hate effing Christmas now while its holiday
drinking habits are a thing of the past. Ozzie also
admitted to smoking a little weed now and then saying
that he's not completely sober. Well, I guess you do
the best you can California sober. That's yeah, I like
that all right. Time for the educational part of the show.

(37:16):
Time to learn something. It's time for did you know? Now?
Since we're gonna get some snow here, here's a couple
of snowfacts for you. Do you know snow appears white
because light reflects off of its many sides. Actually, snowflakes
are translucent, Oh really are. And every snowflake has six sides.

(37:40):
All snowflakes are different, but they're all six sides. Wow.
The largest snowflake ever recorded was fifteen inches wide and
eight inches thick, and it fell in four Kio, Montana,
in eighteen eighty seven.

Speaker 8 (37:55):
That's a snowball, not a snowflakes.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Right. The length of winter depending on the definition in
the hemisphere, but on average winter lasts around eighty nine
days in the northern hemisphere in ninety three days in
the southern hemisphere. Thank god, it doesn't last that way here,
I know in North Texas because we just get a
little spurt like we're about to get tomorrow. However, winter

(38:18):
last twenty one years on Uranus, so change your underwear

(38:40):
older than the as Tech Empire. Oxford became a university
in twelve forty nine. The Aztec's originated in thirteen twenty five. Wow.
Did you know the most common name for a street
in America is Second Street Second Wine. The theory is
that a town will name its first street either first

(39:02):
Street or main street, or name it after somebody, but
they pretty much always go with second Street after that. Okay,
that makes sense, But there's more. Did you know there
are over seven five hundred variety of apples grown all
over the world, So if you had an apple a
day to keep the doctor away, it would take you

(39:23):
twenty years to try every single one. I ain't bed
hunger for apples. Did you know the word candidate comes
from the Latin word candidatus, which means clothed in white,

Speaker 1 (39:51):
If you saw The Wizard of Oz on Sunday night
on TBS and wondered about the dog that played Toto, yeah,
wonder no more, y'all. That dog that played Toto in
The Wizard of Oz was actually a female Clain carrier
named Terry. Because it was a terrier terror. She made
twenty three total movie appearances, including three that were playing

(40:13):
in theaters at the same time that The Wizard of
Oz was playing in the Fall of thirty nine. What

Wizard of Oz. Did you know the first Grip for
e t was actually a horror movie. Yes, Steven Spielberg
decided he liked it better as a family movie, so

(40:34):
he took that horror script. It was rewritten and became Poltergeist.

Speaker 8 (40:39):
Oh that is so cool.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Wow. Did you know the sixth Commandments literally translates into
thou shalt not murder and not thou shalt not kill
because it took into account of the Hebrew people might
face situations like war or self defense when you had
to kill to stay alive. Shall not murder?

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Now?

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Shall not murder nobody. If they have it coming, well,

songwriter best known as one third of Peter, Paul and Mary,
died of bladder cancer at the age of eighty six. Yarro,
who co wrote the group's most endearing song, Puff the

(53:19):
Magic Dragon, which Yours Truly, sang on Kaan D Radio
and Corsicana when I was nine years old. I might
have been ten. It's all a blur. That was your
radio debut? Was that was it? That was the first
time I was ever on the radio. Amazing. Yarrow, along
with the group's other members, Paul Stukey and Mary Travers,
released six Billboard Top ten singles during an incredible run

(53:42):
of success in the sixties that also featured two number
one albums, and they won five Grammys. My parents had Peter,
Paul and Mary albums all over the place. They also
brought early exposure to Bob Dylan. They did by turning
two of his songs Don't Think Twice, It's all Right
and Blowing in the Wind, which they did really really well.

(54:03):
That was in the Billboard Top ten hits, as they
helped lead an American renaissance of folk music. The trio
reunited in nineteen seventy eight after an eight year hiatus
that include pursuit of solo careers. They would remain together
until Mary Travers's death in two thousand and nine. Upon
her passing, Yarrow and Stookie continue to perform both separately

(54:24):
and together. He took violin lessons as a child, but
he later switched to guitar because he was embracing the
work of folk music icons like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Yeah,
and they were really big on doing stuff for civil
rights and stopping the ward.

Speaker 8 (54:41):
And both of those are featured in A Complete Unknown.

Speaker 1 (54:44):

in that movie. So that movie movie may not have
come out if it wasn't for Peter Paul and Meerry
and Bob Billa.

Speaker 6 (54:54):
So.

Nigel Richards, a fifty seven year old New Zealand scrabble champion,
recently won the twenty twenty four Spanish Language Scrabble World
Championship despite the fact that he does not speak a
word of Spanish at all. How can you win a
scrabble just knows how to spell the words? A few
years ago, he won the French Language Scrabble Championship despite

(55:17):
being completely unable to have a conversation in French. Nigel
Richards was already known his world's best scrabble player and
had earned the nicknames like the Tiger Woods of scrabble,
but this was completely unheard of. A person who didn't
speak French at all had run through the world's best
French speaking scrabble players to earn the title of world champion.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
So how did he do it?

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Well?

Speaker 8 (55:39):
The same way he won the World Championship for French
language Scrabble by memorizing a remarkable number of Spanish words
without bothering to learn the meaning of those words. Why
didn't you just learn the language? Well, apparently he doesn't
want to. He just wants to know what the words are.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
He doesn't have to.

Speaker 8 (55:57):
Appearance, Richards is capable of learning hundreds of thousands of
words by heart without being able to speak the language
he speaks English, but won't enter an English speaking scrabble
contest because he says that's not a big enough challenge
for him.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
Just too easy.

Speaker 8 (56:14):
Isn't that crazy? So he's a world champion in Spanish
and in French and.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
He doesn't speak either language.

Speaker 9 (56:20):
Bo, what's the old saying? Fool me one? Shame on you,
pol me twice, Game on me, game on me. Okay,
This poor sixty seven year old California woman, she fell
for something that I know you guys have heard of already,
the Keanu Reeves romance scam.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Remember the stories on me. That's just one of the
mini scams out there.

Speaker 9 (56:39):
This poor sixty seventy year old woman in California fell
for it, not.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Once, but twice. What poor woman?

Speaker 9 (56:48):
Listen to this? Catherine Goodson's story began in twenty twenty two.
She was initially tricked by an individual posing as the
actor online.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
Keana, I need your money. First of all, Keanu Reeves
is not gonna ask anyone for money.

Speaker 9 (57:04):
Yeah, he's got John Wickbunny. He doesn't need Yes, he does.
So Goodson got fooled in twenty twenty two. She was
convinced to send a five hundred dollars gift card.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
To fake Keanu Reeves.

Speaker 9 (57:16):
Then she realized it was a scam, and she blocked
the scammer now after posting a warning about it on
social media, another profile reached out to this sixty seven
year old woman, claiming to be the real Keanu reason
she fell Yeah, oh it's the real.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Mean, I'm sorry this happened.

Speaker 9 (57:35):
She bought it, hook line and sinker you guys, and
later she was convinced that she and the actor were
in love. She said he wanted to marry me. She
ended up sending him Bitcoin, gift cards, wire transfers over
the period of two years. She believed she was helping
Keanu with supposed financial issues. She's now homeless, living in

(57:56):
her car in Vista, California. She shared a story publicly
to raise awareness of these scams. That is a special
kind of gullible to believe all that not once.

Speaker 8 (58:05):
But the thing is is that Keanu does really help
a lot of homelessness.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
She does, Yes, I hope he helps her. Whoa bogus Well,
the economy might be rough for many people, but it's
booming for Marcus Lentz, who is a private detective in
Germany who stumbled into a lucrative specialty as a sick
leave detective. Rising rates of sick leave have become problem

(58:30):
for German companies, so much so that many are now
enlisting lenses services to check up on employees suspecting of
calling in sick when they're not sick at all. Some
companies have employees that have thirty forty or sometimes up
to one hundred and six days in a year, then
at some point they become economically unattractive for the employer

(58:52):
because they're costing them money and when they're not perfectly healthy.
While the Lens group now receives around twelve one hundred
requests a year, which is double the number for a
few years ago, last year the average German worker took
fifteen sick days, which is up from eleven sick days
taken in twenty twenty one. No, no matter how old

(59:17):
you are, there's a chance to learn something new. On TikTok,
a woman named Kate Steiner said it only took her
thirty four years for her to learn to use the
hold open clip at a gas bomp Are you sing?
You would sit there the whole time holding the trigger her.

(59:37):
No one taught her.

Speaker 8 (59:38):
That God, that's embarrassing girl.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Oh man. She had no idea. There was such a
feature on gas bunks, and finally learned when she saw
a guy pumping gas next to her and said, what
that little thing for? Click? Click. The guy seems shocked
that she had no clue what the hold open clip
was and cheerfully explained it to her. Fo for all

(01:00:01):
the time, she washed, all right, get ready because we
got some football tickets coming up from the bowl. And
them shoulders, you know, one day they lonely because they ugly. Oh,
all the the ugly people. Oh, don't worry, I'm in
that line too. Okay, by the way, who want our

(01:00:21):
tickets to the East West Shrine Bowl? That would be.

Speaker 9 (01:00:24):
It's in the ratlift in Cowtown and she's ready to go,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Speaking of football, I got this email question, since it's
asked the Stuff day, what is the college football Transfer
Portal and what purpose does it do?

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Yeah, the transfer you've heard of that? Oh huh, Well,
you never watched Stargate. They shove a player in through
the stargate and he could end up on another school
where he could be on a distant Planet's not how
it works. The Transfer Portal was first launched in twenty
eighteen as a way for athletes to transfer to another
program at another school. If a player wishes to leave

(01:01:01):
their current school and transfer elsewhere, they must inform their
program of their decision to enter the transfer portal. From there,
the school has two business days to enter the athlete's
name into the database for the portal. Once in the portal,
it's open season. Teams can begin reaching out to a player,
and the player can approach the recruitment process through phone

(01:01:24):
calls as well as visits from coaches. It's kind of
like high school athletes looking for a college team to
take them the first time. Yeah, okay, last year, the
portal opened for business the day after the college football
bracket was set and all other bowl games were announced,
And that was the same way that it happened last season.

Speaker 8 (01:01:47):
Did you see that story about the Longhorns quarterback quin
Youwers and how he's been offered like six million dollars
in the transfer portal?

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Six million? What? It's college football?

Speaker 8 (01:01:57):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Wow, it's crazy million dollars. Seemed like somebody would get
in trouble for that. You would think, right, he should.
It doesn't seem right. Man. Back in the day, they
would court athletes by giving them cars. Yeah, I had
a friend I played with in junior high and he

(01:02:18):
went to Arkansas, got a full scholarship, a full right,
They paid for everything. I don't know what happened to
my boy, but I'm sure he was having a good
time while that was good, absolutely all right, Tomorrow is
fun with music day, and tomorrow is also Jimmy Page's birthday.
That means I give y'all a led Zeppelin led Zeppelin

(01:02:42):

other kind of stuff to talk about too.

Speaker 8 (01:02:47):

Course, then so are we. Yeah, well that's true. They

halfway is not too old.

Speaker 9 (01:03:51):
I've been getting AARP for seven freaking years now.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Yes, you turn fifty.

Speaker 8 (01:03:56):
See, it really pays for itself if you've become a
member of AARP. I mean it's like twelve dollars a year,
and you like get a twelve dollars discount on you know, insurance.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
Oh, by god, Anna, you should endorse? Well I should.
Do you get a free jello at a cafeteria?

Speaker 8 (01:04:14):
I'm sure I could if I told them that I
was an AARP member.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
I would too, But I hate jello, so I'm not
gonna do that. Okay, let's talk a little time wastees
here on a wisday. What are you saying? All right?

Speaker 8 (01:04:26):
This is what we have up on the Bow and
Them show page at Lone Star ninety two to five
dot com. Bon Jovi will release a deluxe edition of
their iconic nineteen eighty six albums Slippery When Wet next month.

filled vinyl, on cassette, on streaming, and so much more.
It's gonna include seven bonus tracks, including an acoustic version

(01:04:48):
of Wanted Dead or Alive, And they're even gonna have
new merch available.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
What is liquid vinyl?

Speaker 8 (01:04:54):
It's a vinyl that's been filled with liquid.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
Oh you, it just really is really like I checked
it out. What does that purpose?

Speaker 9 (01:05:05):
It starts out as liquid and then they get it
the color and the weirdness they want, and then it
cools and it turns record.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
Yeah, it looks really cool.

Speaker 8 (01:05:15):
So Slippery When Wett is going to drop on February
twenty eighth. Kiss won't be going to court on January
twenty second. After all, the band has settled out of
court with a former employee named David Matthews no relation
to Dave Matthews. This longtime member of the Kiss road
crew who used to do the guy's hair. He sued
the band back in twenty twenty three for allegedly disregarding

(01:05:38):
pandemic guidelines, and they fired him after he raised concerns
about how things were handled. According to the lawsuit, Matthews
claimed he was forced to work closely with Jeens Simmons
while he was sick, and that the manager of Kiss
dismissed him when the crew's complaints became public.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
We have the whole story up on our page The.

Paul and Mary helped popularize folk music in the early sixties,
and among their biggest hits Bow's favorite, Puff the Magic Dragon.
I wish we had video of you at nine years old,
