Anne Levine Show
Funny, weekly, sugar free: Starring "Michael-over-there."
Anne Levine Show
The Case of the Missing Toothbrush
Welcome to a summer episode of unexpected delights, bizarre trends, and head-scratching stories from around the world. We dive straight into the latest viral beauty craze that has dermatologists everywhere sounding alarms – a young influencer creating full face makeup looks using nothing but refrigerator condiments. From a mayonnaise base to barbecue sauce contour and mustard eyeshadow, this food-as-cosmetics trend somehow led to a sponsorship deal with a vegan aioli brand, proving that sometimes the strangest ideas find their audience.
Speaking of unusual oral care choices, KFC has partnered with an Australian brand to create fried chicken flavored toothpaste complete with biscuit-shaped caps. "For the smile that says I just kissed a bucket" – we couldn't make this stuff up if we tried. This seamlessly connects to our medical oddity of the week: a 64-year-old man who just had surgery to remove a toothbrush he accidentally swallowed as a child and forgot about for 52 years.
From Nebraska's "Livestock Looks" fashion show featuring cows in glittery hoof booties and sequined-tuxedo-wearing farmers, to Florida's spinner shark that launched itself out of the water to head-butt a surfer mid-air, to Anne's new nickname of HR Chuckin' Stuff™," we've collected the summer's most surprising headlines. We also examine the phenomenon of porch pirates leaving product reviews after stealing packages, Earth's mysteriously accelerating rotation, and the fascinating fact that our bodies contain more bacteria than human cells – making us essentially elaborate housing for our bacterial tenants.
Join us for this eclectic journey through the weird and wonderful. And don't forget to visit us at the WOMR Summer Series events at Wellfleet Preservation Hall on July 28th and August 25th from 5 to 7 PM. We'd love to chat about all these bizarre stories and whatever new oddities emerge by then!

Speaker 2:Well, I mean, at least it is summer now, right, because it took a long enough to get here.
Speaker 1:Those are true words.
Speaker 2:Yeah.

Speaker 2:Oh no, I don't, I really don't.
Speaker 1:You two?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's not someone I should meet probably.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I think it is, because this is a 23-year-old influencer. God, when is that word going to go away? Yeah, from Portland. Uh-huh, now they don't say Maine or that was my question. Yeah, I'm assuming we're talking about Oregon, but Okay, yeah, I don't know. So she creates full face makeup looks using nothing but stuff from the fridge door. Oh my God. And it's oh no she does not Mainly condiments.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking, yeah, I mean, she's got her ketchup blush. Don't say it yet.
Speaker 1:May I please?
Speaker 2:do this to you. Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, she starts with a full base of mayonnaise.
Speaker 2:I would have expected that, yeah, which she says is surprisingly moisturizing.
Speaker 1:Michael, I want you to it is mostly oil. I want you to confess, if you need to, and I think you do, why you said barbecue sauce.
Speaker 2:Because it's summertime, so I thought that's, and you said saucy, so I'm like okay, summer sauce, barbecue sauce, the first thing that came to my head.
Speaker 1:Well, she contours with barbecue sauce the first thing that came to my head. Well, she contours with barbecue sauce, she highlights with ranch dressing, oh my god, and claims that yellow mustard makes the perfect pop of color for eyeshadow. Oh that's insane. Ketchup is the go-to blush and lip gloss.
Speaker 2:She can't actually really do that. Oh, yes, she can oh? Man, wait, do you know how hot mustard is really? Even that mustard, if it's just left on something, how it can burn Ooh.
Speaker 1:Now, when she needs lip gloss, dab of honey mixed with olive oil.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And she says it's not just makeup, it's a snack Beauty and sustenance babes.
Speaker 2:No, she's insane, she's a loon.
Speaker 1:Like a fox, because she's now being sponsored by a vegan aioli brand. Oh my God, she's being sponsored.
Speaker 2:No Well, yeah, I know, yeah, I understand that people, people are stupid.
Speaker 1:So yeah all the people are yeah well, no, just the people that are signing on, you know dermatologists don't even do that predictably, are begging her followers not to do this yeah, don't do it and here's one viewer comment I tried your look, and now my face smells like a picnic, picnic accident yeah, it will do that, won't it? Now here's one thing okay, the trend is gaining steam. One guy used hot sauce for lip plumper.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. Well, there's a lot of weird lip plumping things going on and I don't get it and cut it out. Well, he is recovering.
Speaker 1:You know, a friend of ours was just talking about this. A friend of mine is visiting a little tiny island in Greece where I spent a great deal of time.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And back when I used to go there, it was pretty low-key, pastoral hidden gem.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Now it's overrun, you know, predictably, and it's a huge tourist destination. This port, the whole sort of town center, is mobbed with 20 and 30-year-olds with those huge plumped lips, right, yep, and plumped is the wrong word, I know, I'm not sure what do you call them. They're like balloon lips, yeah, yeah, they don't.
Speaker 2:And they do them many different ways. They're doing it many different ways, you know. They're doing it with fillers. They're doing it with suction cups. What's that? Where they put like a suction cup thing on their lips To like ruin their lips. Yes, that's yeah, but for a while they look weird like they want them to God. Yeah, it's really really strange.
Speaker 1:Well, now you can do hot sauce.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hot sauce sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Speaker 2:Yep, brilliant, brilliant, go ahead, everybody do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Blind yourself, that would be a good one.
Speaker 1:Well now, this is not exactly along similar lines, but it relates to a story that is so I'm just going to go ahead and throw it in here.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right.
Speaker 1:Okay, just chucking stuff Straight from China. What? Just chucking stuff right in the show? Well you know, yep, that's why they call me hr chucking stuff, that's right oh good one hr chucking stuff. That's very good, that's right. I'm your friend when things get rough. Yeah, now does it go. Can't do a little and you can't do enough yep okay, that brilliant, brilliant lyrics. Okay, this took place of course, brilliantly.
Speaker 2:You're talking brilliant lyrics on a series that is basically, uh, some guy's acid trip that he turned into a kid's show?
Speaker 1:Aren't most series someone's nightmare, or acid trip or yeah, something. Anyhow, this is a 64-year-old Chinese man just underwent surgery last month, okay, after complaining of abdominal pain, and they found a toothbrush lodged in his intestines. Oh my, oh, my God. What happened? Well, the story is that he accidentally swallowed it when he was 12.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, okay, it was lodged and calcified in scar tissue, that's horrible, uh-huh, wow, and this couldn't have been the first time he had trouble with it either. You know it's just he must have been it. You know chronic indigestion or something I don't know. What the heck do you? How do you ignore that?

Speaker 2:Uh-huh yeah.
Speaker 1:And I want one of these deals. I wonder what can I do to? I want to start my micro-influencing campaign. But I'm not sure what I can do. I want to get the attention.
Speaker 2:Well, you can send people to exotic destinations.
Speaker 1:What the heck? What do you mean?
Speaker 2:send them't, send you didn't send your friend there, but you sent them to places that you've been, you know, on their little trip out there.
Speaker 1:That's what you do yeah, no, I want to talk about other than giving advice. Advice and voice hey, very good other than giving advice and and and increasing the joy in other people's lives, which of course I want to do. I want this to be something I can actually do and then reap the rewards. So in other words, I want a jewelry company, right?
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:That wants to send me stuff.
Speaker 2:Right, so you can wear their stuff. So I can have their stuff Right, okay, yeah, that wants to send me stuff.
Speaker 1:Right, so you can wear their stuff so I can have their stuff, Right, okay yeah. I want. So how do you get a jewelry company? I mean, and this has to be, you know, for someone of my my years.
Speaker 2:Well see, that's where the difficulty lies, lies, because usually the primary prerequisite is 20 years old, right, I mean in your 20s? That's where all these people are.
Speaker 1:No, but I see other things. There are the craziest ads for things like.
Speaker 2:Here are the trousers for women over 50 yeah, yeah you've seen that stuff I've seen a whole bunch of them, yeah, and I've got, uh, I have a, uh, a family member who's trying to be an influencer and they're putting everything out there, yeah, all kinds of stuff. Anybody says, hey, you want to flog this? They're like, oh, yeah, and it's awful.
Speaker 1:Then there's all this makeup stuff for women of a certain age. So there's this whole world of items that are out there, and the women and men pictured in these videos don't look that different than I do. So you don't have to be 20. You have to be 20 if you want the huge dollars, but I just want a few pieces of jewelry or some clothes.
Speaker 2:I see.
Speaker 1:You know I want big gift certificates to my favorite stores.
Speaker 2:Right, well, okay yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, first you have to start being an influencer. Oh, shut up which. That would be step number one, right, mm-hmm, you haven't even started that one yet.
Speaker 1:Well um.
Speaker 2:Your social media presence is next to nothing, except maybe on instagram, but it's still not even close to what you need to be what do you need to be?
Speaker 1:maybe I can like pimp you To influence. Yeah, oh yeah, to do some influencing.
Speaker 2:I'm so influential.
Speaker 1:No, you are. You know what I'm going to put you in a full face of makeup, not condiment makeup.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Just good quality.
Speaker 2:Well, I do look good in it. You know yes, I know yeah.
Speaker 1:And then put you in some fashion looks, some jewelry looks. I mean, instagram loves nothing better than a quote cross-dresser which has ceased to really mean anything anymore.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's true. I mean, it's just kind of what people wear.
Speaker 1:I can say and here's Michael in his new universal standard eyelet blouse. Oh yeah, okay the blue one, you can have like a really cute little t-shirt under there, full face of makeup, and I can do some video of you.
Speaker 2:I can do the voiceover who's going to do this makeup? Because it's got to be blended into my neck right, because otherwise it's going to look weird.
Speaker 1:Listen to this.
Speaker 2:Listen to this You're already getting ready Now, hey, I know how some of those weirdos look Right, and I don't want to look like that.
Speaker 1:I can blend.
Speaker 2:You perfectly, I can blend you perfectly.
Speaker 1:I can blend you perfectly. I just need a shade or three lighter in my foundation right, yeah because you are um.
Speaker 2:You're like conan colored yeah, yeah, I'm fairly pale, you're white, fairly pale. Genetically absolutely white.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're a very, very, very white person. Yep, all right.
Speaker 2:Well, it wouldn't be, and I don't like that, by the way. I'd rather have you know, have something interesting.
Speaker 1:Have some melanin, something I hear you, but I don't, something of interest and color, but you don't no Well see, that can help with your makeup. You have a face for makeup and you have a body for my clothes. You and I, well, and I have a body for my clothes, you and I, well, and I have a body for yours. I mean, you and I have interchangeable items.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, a lot a lot of them, yeah, so, um, anyway, uh, here is because it wouldn't be the anne levine show without our fashion moment. True, well, I've been telling you about crazy, crazy stuff that's been showing up on runways.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:This one is amazing, and this was in Nebraska.
Speaker 2:Wait, fashion in Nebraska.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean okay.
Speaker 1:What's your question?
Speaker 2:Who was looking at it. I mean, is there a discernment there? The press, okay.
Speaker 1:At the Greeley County Fair, someone decided to do some couture and they put on an event called Livestock Looks, oh no, and it featured local farmers dressed up in their gear by this guy, the designer, and all I know about him is that I couldn't actually find his name in this story. People who write these stories are just ridiculous. They don't give you the information Anyway. So these farmers got all dressed up in their couture and most of them had well, they all had. Going down the runway, one guy was walking with a chicken, holding a chicken, and then, like they were walking down with their cows of the animals, in outfits like the winner, a dairy farmer named Stan.
Speaker 2:Way to go, Stan.
Speaker 1:He was in a sequined tuxedo, of course he was. Leading a Holstein named Tootsie.
Speaker 2:I'll bet she's beautiful.
Speaker 1:And she was wearing glittery hoof booties.
Speaker 2:Oh nice.
Speaker 1:And a boa.
Speaker 2:Very, very nice.
Speaker 1:Then there was Probably had contact lenses too. They had a bull wearing a yeezy tan duster coat, god, which that's my favorite.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh.
Speaker 1:And then they had.
Speaker 2:I'm Bully the Kid.
Speaker 1:Right. Then they had a cattle farmer in this sort of like Versace knockoff print. I mean, I'm looking at it, it looks like Versace, but it's not. It's whoever this guy is Some Yutz in Nebraska.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:I shouldn't say Yutz, because I'm sure this guy is not a Yutz.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's probably not Jewish.
Speaker 1:Then they have a cow in cow print oh, I love it.
Speaker 2:Of course, the holstein is very cow print, but, uh, all right, I love it, that's great. Now, was it a similar cow print to the actual cow or, uh, were they changing its spots? They?
Speaker 1:They weren't changing its spots, it was a cow print. I mean, you've seen cow print on stuff? Of course I have yeah. Right, it was that.
Speaker 2:Right, but I mean, a cow already has its own print, so I mean, was it similar?
Speaker 1:That's the joke, honey. Was it similar? Yeah, you mean, could you tell? Yeah, of course you could tell. Oh, okay, yeah, it's a cow in cow print.
Speaker 2:It's like if I put so not really a really good cow print, Not one that will fake you and be like hey, that's an actual cow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was head to tip to tail With hoof boots.
Speaker 2:Hoof boots, yeah, oh my god oh, my god, um.
Speaker 1:So I love that part, the cow and cow print now, that was a genius funny even though I am a hundred percent against dressing animals yeah, you're, yeah it ticks me off and I'm including putting like bow ties and sweaters and little hats on your cats and dogs. I am fully against it yeah and I can barely deal with putting collars on our dogs, except they need them because they sometimes want to run away with various people.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I mean all the cool people Come on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they don't know that. Well, maybe they do know they're hostages. Remember we one time found Rosie's collar in the road and she had somehow done that herself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, well, that was a mess well she got, I mean, when we first got her, she was received. She got out of her whole harness just by looking at me and blinked and then she was out. Yeah yeah I don't know how she did it. I dream of genie, magic, come on she just slipped out and it's a 50 poundpound dog. Yeah, I don't know, but she sticks around though.
Speaker 1:Yes, she does, she's learned.
Speaker 2:She has learned she comes up and lays on the porch if she's, you know, done wandering around. Yeah, she's a good dog.
Speaker 3:All right so here's one I just want to mention before you move on.
Speaker 2:You're listening to the Ann Rain Show On.
Speaker 1:WLMR In Provincetown. On WFMR you know what? On WLMR, bear Week. It's one of my favorite things ever on anything. Is you know these porch pirates right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah I see a lot of videos of them right.
Speaker 1:Well, there's one in suburban dallas who's putting reviews online and doing unboxing oh really yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a porch pirate yes oh my god, that's funny as hell.
Speaker 1:Unboxing, oh really, yeah, oh, that's a horse pirate.
Speaker 2:Yes, oh my God, that's funny as hell.
Speaker 1:So this guy steals Amazon packages and then leaves handwritten critiques of the item on the owner's door.
Speaker 2:I see, wow, there's something really wrong with that guy.
Speaker 1:So this has been happening. This has been slowly reported, but it's gathering steam and now this is turned into a thing of course that people do, right. So this has gained. This thing of being a porch pirate and leaving reviews and doing unboxing is leading to a rash of people doing this, okay, leading to a rash of people doing this, okay.
Speaker 1:So one homeowner opened their front door and found this note, this rug is ugly Soft though. 2.5 stars, I see. And then another one got why order gluten-free crackers if you don't even have real cheese? Try harder, mm-hmm. And someone got a set of silicone muffin trays and was told fine, where's the drama? Three stars for effort. Now, this, this is the one in dallas. He signs the notes, daryl, and underlines it with a little flourish, and the pen choice is sparkly gel. And this is a quote from the quote authorities it had. The paper has a distinct scent of axe body spray on the paper. So dary, the porch pirate with opinions, has created a thing that is now. Now, who is this guy Like? Put all of this together, okay, what are you getting for an age, a level of schooling you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm not qualified to answer that, because this is juvenile.
Speaker 1:Right, so you're thinking.
Speaker 2:But it's not a child. So it's not a child.
Speaker 1:So it's just a very ill-equipped adult Except this person sounds clever.
Speaker 2:They sound like a jackass. Is what they sound like? They sound like a jerk. They're a thief.
Speaker 1:Yes, I realize that they're a thief.
Speaker 2:yes, I realize and they're trying to capitalize on their themselves being a thief for likes on the internet well, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1:It's happening now. You just you were just talking about it. My point is that this person is in big trouble and is going to get caught because, you know, between the handwriting I mean, it's not like this person's trying to conceal themselves very well.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:And they will get caught, yeah, and then they're going to be a felon and probably face prison time and it's going to be a nightmare. Good for them. Okay, I didn't know it would make you so angry.
Speaker 2:It's something they requested, that future All right.
Speaker 1:That made me laugh this whole thing. Yeah, see, it doesn't make me laugh.
Speaker 2:I, I get that, I get that maybe this will make you, because if someone was doing trying to take this stuff off my porch and left me a note, I'd be. I'd be finding out where they live.
Speaker 1:It would be easy. You'd call the police and it would be over in about 15 minutes, given where we live. Anyway, this is Dallas, so there's a little more work to be done there.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:It's much larger. Excuse me All. Right, here's one that might make you laugh. Do you know about these things called spinning sharks?
Speaker 2:no, I don't believe so or no spinner, spinner sharks I know what spinners I mean, like a fidget spinner yeah, a spinner shark, an actual shark in the water. No.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, last week in New Smyrna Beach, Florida yeah, been there. Of course, Florida man it's not even. You don't have to look for Florida man information.
Speaker 2:No, it's everywhere.
Speaker 1:It's just how it is, yeah, anyway. So now New Smyrna Beach is known as the shark bite capital of the world, which I didn't know, so that means maybe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't know that either.
Speaker 1:Maybe a handful of shark bites, bites yeah.
Speaker 2:Why do I keep doing that? I don't know, I don't know, boyts, boyts, why do I keep doing that? I don't know? You got this. You're trying you're unconsciously trying to do a different accent Well that'll make I don't know which one That'll make my life easier, boyts.
Speaker 1:If I don't have to think about accents, they just come out. Yeah, maybe I have accent turrets or something that could be. Yeah, maybe I have accent to rats or something that could be. So there's a shark and a surfer named Darren Kay was out enjoying the waves when something happened. A spinner shark launched itself out of the water in a full spiraling leap and head-butted him Mid-air. Oh my God, knocked him clear off his board.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's hilarious. A spinner shark gets up to 110 pounds.
Speaker 1:Well, holy and Darren Kay told reporters. It felt like, why do I want this to be in Australia? It felt like getting hit by a car. It felt like getting hit by a car and I'm just really glad its mouth wasn't open.
Speaker 2:These guys are mostly Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Coast.
Speaker 1:Well, I don't know where, what that something Smyrna, new Smyrna Beach? Well, I know where Old Smyrna is. So I mean not ancient Smyrna but upstate New York Smyrna. Anyway, and of course, because this is the time we live in, the whole thing was caught on video by a beachgoer Florida man vs Shark air edition, so he was knocked over. He had to make sure he wasn't bitten.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that would be the first thing. And he did get this major hit from the shark and of course he got. He gets back on his board and keeps on surfing Because, as he put it, I wasn't going to let the shark win.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:Well, later on he ended up at the hospital.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, you've just been hitting a head with a 110-pound shark.
Speaker 1:With bruising and a concussion. Yeah, yep, and he had on an Apple Watch when it happened. Heart rate of 195 BPMs. Oh, that's all At the moment of impact. Oh, my goodness. Um, so yeah, so you better watch out for spinner sharks.
Speaker 2:I never heard of them before no, I hadn't either go for mexico indian ocean. Uh, they're not they. You won't find them, though a lot in uh australia bummer. Well, there's other stuff to worry about down there oh, and you'll find them in the mediterranean as well what?
Speaker 1:yeah, they must be moving. I mean, the idea of a shark in the mediterranean is absolutely I don't know, that just sounds so weird yeah impossible. I wonder where in the mediterranean? Well, anyway, yeah, um, here is something that you're gonna really enjoy a couple of stories. So NASA has confirmed the passing of 3I slash Atlas, which sounds like the name of one of Elon Musk's kids or something yeah, is the third known interstellar object to visit our solar system. The comet about the size of Manhattan was first spotted in June and zipped through the outer system on July 2nd. Wow, and unlike previous Veditors, this one had a bright comma and visible tail. Oh, cool. So it delighted. Astronomers and existential philosophers were everywhere, of course.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a comet with an invisible tail.
Speaker 1:Well, a comma? Yeah, that's not an Oxford comma, that's a scientific comma. I think it's more than scientific.
Speaker 2:Scientology comma.
Speaker 1:Otherworldly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, paranormal.
Speaker 1:It's a clearing comma. Yeah, so now you've been talking about how the days are flying by right.
Speaker 2:I have spoken about that partially because I'm old Right, and two because they are. Well, guess what? You and I both feel like it should still be the middle of May, at least. And here we are in the middle of July.
Speaker 1:Two to two, a shortening in the Earth's rotation, shaving off about 1.5 milliseconds since July 9th. See, we are shorter Two more micro short days are expected on July 22nd and August 5th. That's just wrong. Well, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we can't let that happen.
Speaker 1:Well, how scary is that the Earth is spinning faster, yeah, yeah, we can't let that happen. Well, how scary is that the Earth is spinning faster, yeah, which makes me think we're just going to start going so fast that we're going to fly off. You know how things do when they spin too fast.
Speaker 2:That's right. Yeah, we're just going to fly off towards the heliopause or something. See, the thing is, the problem would be is, if it stopped, then we'd fly off.
Speaker 1:No, I don't mean we, I mean the whole planet.
Speaker 2:Oh well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, we kind of are flying off anyway.
Speaker 2:You know we're out in space flying around.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you know, get flung out of our solar system, yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, we don't want to do that.
Speaker 1:No, I know we don't want to technically, but what a roller coaster ride that would be.
Speaker 2:That would be for a couple minutes, and then everybody would freeze.
Speaker 1:Have you seen this roller coaster? I think it's in Italy, it's somewhere in Europe, but it's inverted the drop. No, so you go, you know, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, up, up, up.
Speaker 2:And then you go backwards.
Speaker 1:Well, you get to this top. You can't see where you're going. You can't see the bottom. That's every good roller coaster. Is that way you're going. You can't see the bottom. That's every good roller coaster is that way. Well, this one, actually, you go around at the top and you start heading down backwards in other words facing you're, you're looking at the ground, yeah, yep.
Speaker 1:So what do you call that? Like at what degree? It's beyond scary. I mean, this is something that the warnings before you get on this thing are. I think you have to like sign, because people lose control. People have there's constant incontinence. Do you remember that roller coaster in cedar rapids where people would just and this is pre like iphone videos? Yeah you'd see these pictures of people getting off and who would their pants.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, apparently this thing has to be hosed down after every ride, and there have been. You know, I would not want to do that. Oh yeah, yeah, this sounds. I went in the Tower of Terror.
Speaker 2:And which is very freaky, because it's because you drop 10 stories free fall. Right, I mean, you have a harness, but yeah, you're dropping 10 floors all at once.
Speaker 1:Now remind me where that was.
Speaker 3:Disney's California Adventure which is the sister park to Disneyland.
Speaker 2:They're right there together, yeah, and it doesn're right there together, yeah, and it doesn't exist there anymore. I think it's still at Disney World maybe, uh-huh, but yeah.
Speaker 3:Disney World.
Speaker 2:It was wild, though it was very, very weird to just be sitting there and then, all of a sudden, everything just drops.
Speaker 1:Yep, well, see, that sounds less frightening to me than this. So much less frightening.
Speaker 2:See, that's what I'm saying. I could do that one but, I'm not going to barrel straight into the ground. I just would not be able to handle that, that's right. Yeah, I just would not be able to handle that, that's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, on the same topic, because, believe it or not, today I have things to tell you. My brain is working differently today.
Speaker 2:Well, I don't know, maybe that's why that no accounting for some things.
Speaker 1:There certainly is no accounting for anything in my opinion. But so it's july shortest days ever, um, not meaning the the least amount of sun. Meaning meaning less than 24 precise hours.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah.
Speaker 1:Right, so even scarier. New thing now Summerween.
Speaker 2:Summerween.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh no, july is the new October. Yes, QVC, thank you.
Speaker 2:All the shopping networks, thank you and most of the drug stores you know who always decorate.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, for all the wings yeah, well, it's a thing now where craft stores are putting skeletons next to pool floats and then these things of kids trick-or-treating in sandals like flip-flops, uh-huh. Then there are some towns hosting reverse haunted houses. So where you go in and people are sitting down for dinner and having a nice conversation. Well, it says where the candy screams at you.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh.
Speaker 1:So yeah, and all this Halloween action, now it's.
Speaker 2:Halloween in everywhere.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean this thing of getting people to buy stuff. Yeah, they have to find new ways A-seasonally yeah yeah, just drives me nuts you right now that if you want a beautiful new cashmere turtleneck and you know gloves and a hat to snuggle up by the fire, it's prime shopping time well, there you go, yeah, yeah, fall, hey, uh, speaking of a prime time, we we need to get to our educational segment on the show, you know?
Speaker 2:oh, because we are the most educational program. Well, radio right now, obviously yes, yeah and this is something that, uh, that probably, uh, you've never thought about, but it is absolutely 100 real. We have more bacteria living inside of us yes, then we have cells. Yes, the human body contains around 100 trillion cells and up to two quadrillion bacteria bacteria so let's say like if aliens were to abduct you and take you into space and check you out, they would probably reasonably conclude that humans exist to provide homes for bacteria.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's why we're here, folks.
Speaker 1:Of course it is. Yeah, I mean, that's so obvious, and we love to feed them with our probiotics.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah.
Speaker 1:We take extra bacteria.
Speaker 2:We do In pills and try to take care of them.
Speaker 1:That's right and nurture them yeah.
Speaker 2:And make them feel good.
Speaker 1:Yes, Because they make us feel bad.
Speaker 2:We don't want cranky bacteria when they're unhappy.
Speaker 1:Exactly, yeah, exactly. You have today designed a syllabus for every science teacher in America. Oh, thank you In America.
Speaker 2:Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1:Because I do believe that's about where science quote class, where it's legal, is. At this point, you know that would be a great presentation and there could be a bacteria and a little bit you could talk it into. I'm serious, yeah, oh God, yeah, I mean it pretty much seems like. Another favorite idea of mine would be listening to your educational story. Listening to your educational story would be how to describe to people what those numbers mean. What a trillion?
Speaker 2:is oh yeah, because that is actually very hard for people to understand. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:And what the difference between a million and a billion is. Yeah, that's something that's really hard, very hard to wrap your mind around.
Speaker 2:Agreed. Hey, you know what? We don't have a lot of, a whole lot of show left, but before that, I want to mention that WOMR has got a couple get-togethers this summer. What do we have? We've got the Mondays Summer Series. They're at the Wellfleet Preservation Hall on July 28th from 5 to 7 and August 25th from 5 to 7. Come hang out with us.
Speaker 1:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:So yeah, Michael will be there and we'll you know, we'll chit chat that would be great yeah just so you know that's what we're.
Speaker 1:We're, uh, we're gonna hang out and talk with people well, and it's like I said at the top of the show, it's bear week, true um, and not just in provincetown in colorado last week. Yep, so last week, and and you'll be told now, there's a new thing never leave snacks in your car. Ah, a colorado family returned to their driveway in their other car to see something large, furry and mildly panicked inside their locked suv oh, I've seen a video like this.
Speaker 1:Oh, no a black bear had apparently opened the car door, climbed in and got into some leftover food or gum wrappers like some fast food bags Right, and then somehow locked the door.
Speaker 2:You hit whatever button and it locked itself in. Well, couldn't figure out how to get out. Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:And so the bear had what was described by authorities. I love authorities, yeah. As a panic attack, right, of course, as a panic attack. Right of course, they shredded the entire inside of this SUV. What?
Speaker 1:do you tell the insurance company? Well, they're not going to believe you. They said they are utterly speechless. Yeah, I'm not going to believe you. They said they are utterly speechless. Yeah, well, we're listening to one of my favorite songs. This is Willie Nelson doing the Maker from the album Teatro, and originally. On October 7th, 251 hostages were taken from the Nova Music Festival in Israel. So far, 148 have been released alive, one of whom just took his own life last week. 49 bodies have been returned, 50 are still unaccounted for alive or dead, 23 are likely still alive. And for those 23 people who have been in captivity for nearly two years, please put a light on. I'm strange in the eyes of the maker.
Speaker 2:I could not see. What a fog in my eyes. I could not feel.
Speaker 1:What a fear in my life and across the great divine In the distance, I saw the light.
Speaker 2:I saw John Batten walking to me with the maker guitar solo to me with a maker. My body has been unbroken by law and danger steep, dangerous steams.
Speaker 1:I can't work the fields of Abraham and turn my head away. I'm not strange In the hands of the maker, brother.
Speaker 3:John have you seen the homeless daughters? Standing there With broken wings. I have seen the flaming swords there over east of here, burning in the eyes of the baker.
Speaker 1:Burning in the eyes of the maker.
Speaker 3:Burning in the eyes of the maker. I'm a man. Guitar solo oh river, oh river Rides from your speed. Guitar solo. Guitar solo. Guitar solo, guitar solo. Guitar solo. Guitar solo.
