  Speaker 1: Time for the ex pole.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Yes it is.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We decided to try to do something not political for
• 0:06
  the ex Pole. We didn't want to actually do an
• 0:08
  x pole about the election, so we picked something totally
• 0:10
  different and liberals. The expoll question is simply this, what
• 0:16
  is your favorite weird smell?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Now, we use the word weird here to differentiate because
• 0:22
  there are what are considered traditionally good smells, like flowers
• 0:27
  or lemons, or cake or cake and things like that,
• 0:31
  you know, turkey, yeah, stuff like that. This is something
• 0:36
  that you enjoy the smell of that is not traditional.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: I can, I can explain here's my weird smell, okay,
• 0:44
  that I actually.

  Speaker 1: Like before you tell it, Todd, go ahead.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: So the weird smell and I enjoyed it. The other night,
• 0:49
  I was officiating a football game in rural Spanish fork okay,
• 0:54
  oh sorry, and I realized the smell it's poop, it's
• 0:57
  it's uh farm farm manure smell.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: I've gone my entire life getting away from it.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Too, Like I grew up in Hooper. But that maybe
• 1:06
  that's why it was so like it was still plant
• 1:09
  like that just smells like home.

  I texted in horse manure. Yeh see, I tried so
• 1:22
  hard to get away from that smell.
• 1:24

  of the for the wrong reasons. But anyway, here's one

• 3:13
  that was like probably not properly designed for the water,

  Speaker 6: Grandparents.
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: My kids are the same, Like we go to black cabin.

• 4:17
  something that's not political and just sort of silly, and
• 4:21
  you are all participating. You can continue to let us know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I love the smell of an old, musty library or
• 4:27
  old books.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, I like that one.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: At my favorite little Heidi Whole restaurant over here the
• 4:36
  rest which is it's an underground secret restaurant, and they
• 4:40
  have it's an old bank, and in the back they
• 4:42
  have this library filled with all of these old books

  Speaker 3: Let's see odd smell that. I love Pokemon cards. I've
• 4:55
  collected Pokemon cards since I was a kid. I'm thirty five,
• 4:58
  and whatever cards dot if they use just smells really
• 5:01
  good to me. Also, the smell has never changed over
• 5:03
  the years, which is interesting because they're still using the
• 5:05
  same card stock.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I used to like the smell of cassette tapes when
• 5:09
  you get them brand new. They would they just had

  Speaker 1: Hello, I what's your favorite weird smell?
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: So I recently moved into a house that was built
• 6:05
  in like the early nineteen hundreds, and so it's like
• 6:08
  that weird like old wood house smell, like the old
• 6:13
  carpet and the old wood and all that. So it
• 6:16
  doesn't it doesn't go away, even just like candles and
• 6:19
  things like that. Yeah, but I love it all right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Hey, thanks Brady, Thank you.

  Speaker 2: Ryan.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Hello, Ryan, good morning.
• 6:26
  Speaker 11: Thanks for letting me listen.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Find Ryan, what's what's the weird smell that you like?
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: So?
• 6:32
  Speaker 11: Mine is the combination of two smells. Actually, Okay, So
• 6:36
  my grandmother was a smoker her entire life, lived in
• 6:40
  ninety four, So figure that one out. She used to
• 6:44
  do laundry with tied detergent, yes, and she would smoke
• 6:48
  while she did her laundry her house quite a lot.
• 6:52
  So the combination of the laundry detergent and the cigarette
• 6:56
  smoke would be on the blankets and the clothes and
• 6:58
  the pillowcases. And for some reason that smell is just
• 7:02
  very comforting.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: To remind your grandma.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: He was a wonderful woman, mister Dearly.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: All right, there you go.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Smoke and tie.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Ryan, Grandma with a cigarett in her mouth.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: That's right. Uh, Nick is here?
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Hello, Nick, good morning, Good morning.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: A weird smell.
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: Well, back in the.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: Late nineties, I used to play Magic the Gathering, and
• 7:29
  every time I open a new pack, before I'd even
• 7:32
  look at the cards, I just sit there and smell
• 7:34
  them for a couple of minutes until the smell wore off,
• 7:36
  and then then I'd get to see what my brand
• 7:39
  new cards were. I still remember that smell to this day.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they smell the same as the Pokemon
• 7:44
  cards or if those are different, different cards smell.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, go to a go to a shop and pick
• 7:49
  them up.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: I think they're made by the same people, so hopefully.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Could be thank you, thank you.
