- 0:00Speaker 1: You used to come in and say that.
- 0:01Speaker 2: You would tell your children when they were at the
- 0:04Speaker 2: circus with you that during intermission that the show was over.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Oh yes, I remember this.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Now come on, it's over.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Yeah, you have no idea.
- 0:15Speaker 3: You got to use this everything from Disney on Ice
- 0:18Speaker 3: to the rodeo to the circus, any of those events.
- 0:23Speaker 3: When intermission came and the lights went on, I would say,
- 0:27Speaker 3: come on, we gotta go. We getta beat the crowd.
- 0:29Speaker 3: And I said, we can grab a souvenir before they
- 0:30Speaker 3: run out. It's on the way out, you know. I'd
- 0:33Speaker 3: definitely take them in the store and grab the souvenir.
- 0:35Speaker 3: I said, come on, we'll never get out of the
- 0:36Speaker 3: parking lot.
- 0:37Speaker 1: We'll get it hurt.
- 0:37Speaker 3: They never knew, Yeah, never knew, never knew that it
- 0:40Speaker 3: was only half.
- 0:41Speaker 4: There was a second half.
- 0:43Speaker 1: That's a good one. I think one of the first
- 0:45Speaker 1: events that I took my son to when he was
- 0:47Speaker 1: probably two or three, was I think Disney on Ice. Yeah,
- 0:49Speaker 1: and you told me that before we went. He has
- 0:51Speaker 1: a hot tip.
- 0:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Yeah, because nothing's going to change in the second half.
- 0:56Speaker 3: It's just more people skating around and animal most skating around.
- 1:01Speaker 1: That's true. Oh god, so many lives on the.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Circus stays the same second half.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I saw reel over the weekend and it was all
- 1:07Speaker 1: the lies your parents told you, and I checked every
- 1:10Speaker 1: single box. I believe all these were true.
- 1:13Speaker 6: My parents when we were young used to tell us
- 1:16Speaker 6: when they were eating lobsters that they were eating bugs,
- 1:19Speaker 6: so we wouldn't want them.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Wow, that's creative. Well, aren't they kind of like bugs
- 1:26Speaker 1: crustations of the sea. Yeah, yeah, No, they're.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Not the bugs of the sea.
- 1:33Speaker 1: But I know what you're saying. No, they used to
- 1:34Speaker 1: be A long time ago. They were they were They
- 1:37Speaker 1: weren't a delicacy. They were given to people in prison.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Yeah, prison, and then the galleys rowing the ships. Yes, uh,
- 1:45Speaker 3: you know, the slaves were lack of a better word,
- 1:47Speaker 3: they would give them lobster, and then lobster.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Became they're scavengers basically.
- 1:51Speaker 3: What it is now. Yeah, they are scavengers. Just keep
- 1:54Speaker 3: in mind when you're having the lobster. Everything they eat is.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Off the is off the bottom.
- 1:59Speaker 3: Yes, their bottom feeder.
- 2:01Speaker 1: They are right. Expense, it's odd when you think of it.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Expensive body, Oh my, and they keep getting more and
- 2:07Speaker 3: more expensive.
- 2:08Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:08Speaker 6: My mom always said that if you had the shower
- 2:11Speaker 6: on while it was thundering and lightning out, that you
- 2:14Speaker 6: would get struck by lightning. So I still, at twenty
- 2:18Speaker 6: eight years old, will not take a shower if there's
- 2:20Speaker 6: a storm.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Oh my god, my parents used to tell me that.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I never heard that one. Yeah, and the pool was
- 2:26Speaker 1: a big one using water right wait, yeah, wasting the
- 2:31Speaker 1: water away? What are you doing in there? Yeah?
- 2:33Speaker 7: You guys remember that.
- 2:35Speaker 4: When we were younger, they would say if you had
- 2:38Speaker 4: a dream and you died in your dream, that you
- 2:40Speaker 4: would die in real life.
- 2:42Speaker 1: I think I remember that, but I think it was
- 2:44Speaker 1: other kids that told me that, not my parents. Yeah,
- 2:46Speaker 1: that's a little morbid for your parents to tell you,
- 2:49Speaker 1: you know. But one of them was about coffee, that
- 2:51Speaker 1: if you drink coffee as a kid, it will stunt
- 2:53Speaker 1: your growth.
- 2:53Speaker 4: As a parent, I still use the coffee will stunt
- 2:56Speaker 4: your growth. My toddler's always trying to take us at
- 2:59Speaker 4: my coffee, and I told him he'd shrink down like
- 3:01Speaker 4: ant man if he takes a step in.
- 3:03Speaker 2: My coffee, and he still believes it.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It's so crazy, like we teach our kids not to lie,
- 3:10Speaker 1: but then we kind of tell them lies.
- 3:12Speaker 3: And there are so many more. I'm racking my brain
- 3:15Speaker 3: that my parents would tell me a lot of them
- 3:17Speaker 3: related to school or I mean, there are so many.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Well, you just want your kids to listen and do
- 3:22Speaker 1: what do what you tell them to do, and when
- 3:24Speaker 1: they won't, you gotta you gotta do what you gotta do.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Let's go to Selene online too.
- 3:28Speaker 3: All right, Selene, you're online too.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Good morning. Add to the list.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Selene.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Hello, Selene. All right, Selene dropped off like that name.
- 3:39Speaker 1: That is a nice name. You don't meet a lot
- 3:42Speaker 1: of Selene's, you know. Yeah, Selene, we'll try to get
- 3:45Speaker 1: you on the second. Sorry about that.
- 3:46Speaker 7: So I love dogs. My dad doesn't. And a big
- 3:50Speaker 7: lie he would tell me when I was a kid,
- 3:52Speaker 7: is dead while I pet a dog. If I get
- 3:55Speaker 7: the I booger of a dog and then rub it,
- 3:59Speaker 7: then rub my eyes, I would see black and white forever,
- 4:04Speaker 7: or I would get like blind. So that's a big lie.
- 4:08Speaker 1: See now we're just just completely making stuff up here.
- 4:11Speaker 3: I've never heard anything even resembling that.
- 4:14Speaker 1: One never heard that there was one of the lists
- 4:16Speaker 1: about sneezing with your eyes open. I kind of was
- 4:19Speaker 1: speculating I don't think you can sneeze with your eyes open.
- 4:22Speaker 4: I actually learned this from the college class ones. You
- 4:24Speaker 4: physically can't sneeze with your eyes open because it's a
- 4:27Speaker 4: reflex that your eyes automatically close.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe that well.
- 4:32Speaker 3: I always was told that your heart skips a beat
- 4:34Speaker 3: when you sneeze, and I have sneezing jags in the morning.
- 4:38Speaker 1: So you know my heart skips a beat just regularly. Yeah. Yeah,
- 4:43Speaker 1: I have like an a rythm.
- 4:44Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Wasn't there a song my heart skips a There is?
- 4:47Speaker 1: I think I have the same thing, but there's a
- 4:49Speaker 1: name for it.
- 4:50Speaker 5: Really.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Yeah, because I had an e KG, they thought something
- 4:53Speaker 1: was wrong and they said it was that, and they said,
- 4:55Speaker 1: it's no big deal, it's not Yeah, it's fine. What pill.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Wasn't there something about warts? Frogs? Yeah?
- 5:04Speaker 3: They came from frogs?
- 5:05Speaker 1: Yeah, frogs.
- 5:06Speaker 5: I used to have actually a reoccurring nightmare about swallowing
- 5:10Speaker 5: a watermelon sleeed and being rushed into the hospital because
- 5:13Speaker 5: my stomach was going to explode from the watermelon road
- 5:16Speaker 5: in my stomach.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I was full of fear as a
- 5:21Speaker 1: kid when I heard these days.
- 5:22Speaker 6: Yeah, mine was swallowing gum like, never swallow gum.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Yeah, that it was really bad for you. It just
- 5:27Speaker 1: sits and the more that you you swallowed, the mall
- 5:30Speaker 1: would pile up.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Yes, and we found proof to the contrary. Right with
- 5:33Speaker 3: the gum swallowing, it's a few days.
- 5:35Speaker 1: It's a few days that sits in your stomach and
- 5:37Speaker 1: then it passes through.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Good morning crew. This is not one that was told
- 5:42Speaker 4: to me, but something that I used to tell my kids.
- 5:45Speaker 4: I would tell them when we were at the beach
- 5:47Speaker 4: if they found a sand dollar and we put it
- 5:49Speaker 4: on the dashboard of the car, it would turned into
- 5:51Speaker 4: a real dollar. Kept them busy forever, and it only
- 5:54Speaker 4: cost me a few bucks. Have a good day.
- 5:58Speaker 1: The beach. Let's go to Selene. I think she's back
- 6:03Speaker 1: online to Hey Selene.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Hi, good morning, Hey, we got you give us a
- 6:10Speaker 3: good one.
- 6:12Speaker 2: So when I was little, I was told if you
- 6:14Speaker 2: pick your nose and ate your buggers, it would make
- 6:17Speaker 2: worms grow.
- 6:22Speaker 1: I never heard that one, but gross, Oh really.
- 6:27Speaker 5: Yeah, what's he doing now?
- 6:31Speaker 3: It's in the hospital getting a worm removed.
- 6:35Speaker 2: I remember when we wouldn't finish all the food on
- 6:37Speaker 2: our plate at a time. Our parents would always say
- 6:40Speaker 2: you have to eat all of your food. There's children
- 6:43Speaker 2: starving in Africa, and thinking about it today, I'm like, well,
- 6:46Speaker 2: what was we supposed to do? Send them what we
- 6:48Speaker 2: didn't finish?
- 6:51Speaker 1: I still my parents say that to me my kids.
- 6:56Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it's about wasting food.
- 6:58Speaker 1: It's having right, was.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Sort of the moral of but they wanted to guilt you, right,
- 7:03Speaker 3: young children are starving in Africa.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to eat those carrots. Yeah. Meanwhile, you know,
- 7:08Speaker 1: unfortunately there's starving kids everywhere. Yeah, exactly. Really it's about
- 7:12Speaker 1: food wasting.
- 7:13Speaker 5: Yes, anybody hear the one that if you ate food
- 7:15Speaker 5: directly from the can, like canned soup or canned beans,
- 7:19Speaker 5: that you would get lockjaw and not be able to
- 7:22Speaker 5: open your mouth. That's a new one.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a new one on me because most of
- 7:27Speaker 3: what we ate came out of a can.
- 7:29Speaker 1: True.
- 7:30Speaker 6: Yeah, true, Morning Morning Show. I think you're forgetting that
- 7:34Speaker 6: a lot of our children are listening to you guys
- 7:37Speaker 6: on buses or on car drives to school. So thanks
- 7:41Speaker 6: for blowing our cover.
