All office chairs are made with a certain ass in mind. Correct. A tiny ass. I would like a fat ass chair for my office. Look, I've got a fat ass, even when I'm skinny, which I ain't been skinny for a while, but I've got a badonkadonk butt. I just have a bubble butt and that's all there is to it. It's shapely. It's juicy. Yes, exactly. So, it would be nice to have an office chair that is made for juicy women. [Theme music] Welcome to episode 42 of Delete This History, a podcast by two besties of a certain age, searching for answers. We're your host, Cara Burch. and Brea Brown. That's Brea Brown right there across from me. Mm-hmm. I have bookmarks today that are not television. What? I know it. Well, then you go first, because mine are the usge’. Mine all relate to me sitting on my ass and doing nothing. Oh, OK. Well, I have a question for you. OK. Do you like Coldplay? You know I like Coldplay. Well, they dropped a new single in anticipation of their new album that's dropping October 4th. Are they gonna sing with puppets? I have no doubt that they are. Yes! But that's pure speculation based on your history with me seeing that concert. Are they gonna make love to a piano stool? I don't know. We'll have to find out. We just have to wait and find out. Okay, I hope they have a concert with this new album. Me too. That we can go watch in a theater. Yes. In the dark. Yes. Without going to some crazy venue. And then like say, excuse me, wait staff, I would like more to drink and another soft pretzel please. Yes, exactly. Without leaving my seat. Yes, that is the way to see a concert. The new song is called, Feels Like I'm Falling in Love. And it is of course excellent because they're Coldplay. The new album is called Moon Music. I don't know anything about the rest of the album, but I like the new single and I would recommend that you bookmark it. Where did you hear this new single? Apple Music. Okay. Yeah, I need to figure out how to not listen just to the same things over and over again. You know what Apple Music does for me? I'm gonna brag about Apple Music for a second. Okay. It takes music that I listen to normally. Yeah. And then it goes, well, she likes that, so she probably would like this. And it creates what's called Cara Burch's station. I love it. YouTube Music does that too. It's called like the... Brea's discovery mix or something like that. But I never listen to it. What? Because I like what I like. You just said, you should listen to her. But I've gotten to be that person. Expand your horizons because- Well, every time I do listen, I shouldn't say I never listen to it. I have listened to it before. And every time I do, I hear something new that I like. Yes. But then a lot of times I'm like, I just want to listen to something I already know. Try new things. I know. This is how I found out about the new single is because I have like every Coldplay album. Yes. And so Apple was like, well, we're going to let her listen to this. And I was like, wait a second. This is Coldplay, but I don't know this song. I was in my car and I was pretty excited. That is exciting. There was some squealing going on. It's. It's exciting because it's kind of like old school radio. I know. Like you would just be driving around and all of a sudden you'd hear a brand new song new to you. You didn't have any control over whether you heard it or not but it was always so exciting. Like, oh, I love these guys. Oh, this is a new song. So, you've just revealed, you don't wanna lose control of your music. Yeah, of course. That's what it is. It's always about control. Let it go, let it go. No, don't do it. Let it go. My second one is Tig Notaro's book, I'm Just a Person. I'm only two thirds of the way through this book and I'm ready to recommend it. Book mark it people, check it out, it's so good. It's a really interesting story. It's just at a certain time of her life. It's not a biography or an autobiography. Well, it's an autobiography of a certain time of her life. A horrible time in her life. But also good things come out of that. time of her life because of the bad things that were happening to her, mainly her health. But I've laughed so hard at this book, but I've also cried so hard. She is one of those people who can really evoke emotions like that. Yes. She's written it in a way that it's just like very relatable to whoever you are. Yeah. It's really good. And it's a fast read. Yeah. It's a normal length of book, but I am just flying through this thing. It's really good. I've got the sample of it on my Kindle based on what you told me at the baseball game last week. You should read the whole thing. Those are all of my bookmarks. I do have a little follow-up, but we can do that later. Are you sure? Or we can do it now. I don't care. Where do you think it fits better? No, why don't you do your recommendations first? Okay. And then I'll do a follow-up from last week. I have three bookmarks. Okay, let's hear it. The first one is My Lady Jane on Prime Video. Yes. It is amazing. Okay, yes. Loved it. Okay. Loved it. Amazon will not shut up. It's like Cara, you should watch this. That's all I can really say about it because otherwise I'll spoil it. Okay. But it's very funny. Yeah. And suspenseful. It looked like it had some sexy times in it. It does have some sexy times in it. Okay. It's not as explicit as Bridgerton, but there are some and foul language. Okay. Very foul. I'm out. But that's what makes it funny. Oh, okay. It's hilarious in certain parts. And if you're interested in Tudor history, which I am. You know I am. Then you'd be really interested in it because you know, it's about Lady Jane Grey. It's... It's an alternative history. Now, wait a second. You railed. I know. On New World last week. But this makes no bones about it. This tells you explicitly, what if history had been different? Okay. Right at the beginning. And so that makes it all right with you. That makes it fine because then the viewer knows what they're getting. It's not being packaged as, hey, this is historical. Okay. watch this and then you'll know about what happened between John Smith and Pocahontas. I'm never going to say it again. Now I don't want, I'm not trying to poke the bear here. I just had a question I had to ask you. So, I got it. I'm with you. That's the difference. Okay. And then I have a YouTube channel recommendation. It's called Books and Cats. And it's this woman who does literary criticism on her YouTube channel. And she addresses the part every time she's critiquing a book or in this case, the one, the video I watched was about Shirley Jackson's short stories. And she had rollers in her hair because all of the short stories are about housewives in the 1950s. And she does things like she had the yellow gloves on, like the dishwasher gloves, which they call marigolds over there. She had those on in one part of the video. But anyway, it's really good. She's really clever. And also it's entertaining. And I forgot how much I liked to think critically about literature and books. And so when she brings up certain things, I'm like, oh my gosh, I remember that from literary criticism classes. Oh yeah. And I was like, oh, love it. Are you still doing your book club at work? We took the summer off. Oh, okay. Cause people be busy. Yeah, I understand. One more thing. Yes. A new to me podcast, not new podcast, but it's a new to me podcast and it's an exactly right media production. And I don't know why I've been resisting listening to it, but anyway, it's called Bananas. And it's these two comedians who have been friends for a really long time. And they read funny head, like crazy news story headlines. And then they talk about the story. Okay. And then whatever comes up in their head, like from their experience, whatever these stories bring up in them, then they kind of talk about that. Like, remember that one time when blah, blah. It's hilarious, but it's, it's mostly like Florida man stories, but they're not all Florida man stories. You know what I mean? Yes. So, it's kind of like the shallow end podcast, which I like a lot, where they talk about stupid people doing stupid things. But this is just all like outlandish stories. It's not necessarily all stupid people. It's just crazy headlines. Then they tell what the story actually is and blah, blah. And they are hilarious. Bananas. Got it. Those are all of my bookmarks. Those are good. That's not all TV. No, it wasn't. It's all entertainment. It was. The reason I laugh so hard when you said boots and boots. No. You didn't say that. You said books and cats. That's what people say to get boots and cats and boots. That's what my sister, that's her joke, is that's how you get the beat going. You say boots, not necessarily books. Oh, okay. It's boots and cats. I see. And then you get better at it and go, boots and cats, boots and cats, boots. And then you spit it out. But when you said books and cats, it just. You immediately were thinking. I immediately thought of boots and cats, boots and cats. Sorry, I'll cut that anyway. So, the thing I wanted to follow up with you on, we talked about 30 for 30 last week. And I wanted to know what the hell that was. And I remembered it as I pulled up here. So, it's not a part of my search. So, very quickly, 30 for 30 derives from the series Genesis as 30 films in celebration of ESPN's 30th anniversary, which was in 2009. Okay. An exploration of the biggest stories from ESPN's first 30 years on the air. through a series of 31 hour films by 30 makers, 30 filmmakers. It has changed since then. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. But they kept the title, I guess. Yes, so that was the original. That was the impetus. Correct. Yeah, because that Oscar Pistorius thing was four episodes and they were like an hour and a half each. Yeah, yeah, and that was way past 2009. Yes, it was. That was during the pandemic. Well, we're not here to just talk about entertainment. No. What are we here to talk about, Brea? Um, our internet search history? That's right! You nailed it! And we're going to get started with that by doing the reading of the list. Yes, ma'am. It's even Stephen Week. So, I'm going to read mine first. OK. But first, we have to explain what the segment's about. Oh, OK. If you are a real DTH bestie, you already know what this segment is about. But in case your brand spanking new. New and then you go from the... from the newest to the oldest episodes, some people do that. Yeah, they check out the newest one. Thank goodness, because we're better now than we were 42 episodes ago. Yes, yes. I like to think anyway. I really hope so. If you all feel differently, we'll take your criticism through any venue. Yes, please tell us so that we stop torturing your ear balls. We stop losing listeners. In this segment, the reading of the list, we tell you about our top three most interesting, funniest, most successful internet searches of the week in list form. Number one, for Cara Burch, ship shape and Bristol fashion. Number two, Betty Thomas. Number three, NFL pre-season schedule. Oh my gosh. Kids, it's coming. I was just talking to my brother yesterday about this. I was like, I'm ready for football. As we were like, floating in the pool. I was saying this to him. And he said, well, I really like summer, which I would too if I had a nice sparkling pool in my backyard. 100%. But I said, yeah, I do too. But I mean, it's not gonna last forever. So, it might as well just be football season. And it's nice to have something to look forward to, right? That's true. I'm ready for football like you would not believe. Yeah, I mean, I just wish it could be year round. Well, I don't wish it would be year round because I will say by the time the season ends, I'm ready to get my Sundays back. That is true. Because you are kind of beholden to Sunday. Maybe it could be kind of like hockey where they take like six weeks off and then they're back at it. Now that's an idea. Talk to the NFL, would you? I think that the players would have something to say about that because that would be pretty brutal. It would be brutal. Yeah. All right. What about your list? Okay. My list. for this week is New Heights Podcast hiatus. Of course. Grease six day work week. Oh. Ammo vending machines. That sounds terrible. I guess we'll find out here in a little bit. Stay tuned. Yes. All right, well now it's time to play a little game that we like to call Search Me! Where we each pose one question to each other to see if she can answer based only on the ring of the list, which is what we just did. Brea, today. I have a feeling that you're running low on soap. Oh, I am not. Oh, stink. But soap keeps. Soap keeps. Look it, it's your fave. Maybe I could be running low on soap. Do a little swap out. I love that orange energy soap. Yes, orange ginger, energy, aromatherapy, body, no, bath and body works. Yes. So, it looks so beautiful in the. Sponsor us, Bath & Body Works. Yeah, we use a lot of your products. In fact, I'm wearing two of them right now. I am too. Mine's called like, something like Coconut Paradise. It's my summer smell. I have some of that. It's really nice. I'm wearing Beach Season or something like that. Waikiki Beach? Not Waikiki Beach, it's the other, it's Beach something, Beach Day or something like that. It's a summer smell. Yeah, it's coconutty and a little bit of like, yeah, salty smelling. I love the coconut smell so much. Again, on the same page, cause our brain is the same. Of course. Your question. Did you send me your list? I did. Did I? It did not come through. Then I didn't send it. Hang on. I'm an idiot. I was expecting it to meow, but that's what your phone does when you get a text. That's what my phone does. Okay, I'm ready. Meow. Which of my searches did I say in my head after I got my desk all organized and ready to shut down for the day on Wednesday? Ship shape in Bristol fashion. Nailed it. Of course that's what you say. So, then I thought, where did that even come from? Now we all know what that means, like everything's orderly and as it should be. But it had its origin from when Bristol was the major West Coast port of Britain. Okay. The term ship shape and Bristol fashion originated in the 19th century in reference to ships going in and out of Bristol Harbor in Bristol, England and important port city several miles inland from the estuary of the river Avon. At that time, Bristol Harbor had the second highest tidal range in the world fluctuating more than 30 feet between low tide and high tide. So, at receding tide, the ships would basically run aground. And they would fall over on their side. And because of that, if everything wasn't like stowed away properly, you would have like all your cargo would fall overboard. Oh no. And chaos would ensue, right? So, to sustain this inevitable stranding, ships had to be of sturdy construction and the goods they carried securely stowed away. Those that were able to withstand the challenge were dubbed ship shape and Bristol fashion. That makes perfect sense. Now today, Bristol has a floating harbor, so it doesn't matter. The floating harbor is in an area where the tide is, like there's no tide raising or lowering. Right, right. So, they don't have to worry about that anymore. But the expression stuck and there you go. And this soap is yours. Yay! Sniff it, get some energy. It's great. I'm so excited. I knew that you would be. I love that stuff. It's always a winner. That's right, crowd favorite. Okay, Cara. Brea. Today you're playing for. Yes. A big girl logic puzzle. Wait, big girl, what do you mean by that? Like not electronic. Oh, it's not for fat people. That's not what I meant. Okay. It is illustrated though. So, it doesn't look like it's for big girls. It is for grownups. But it goes from really, really easy at the front. Oh, good. To then, and it also has tips, solving tips in the front. That's also good. Oh, this looks fun. These puzzles, unicorn books, they make really good logic puzzles. Okay. And I enjoy them. So, I thought, oh, maybe it's time for Cara to graduate from her electronic puzzles to paper puzzles. Let's do it. Where you do the whole puzzle and it doesn't tell you if you're right or wrong. You just have to do it and then you check your answers at the back. Okay. When you're done. All right, I'm excited. I love these puzzles. Yes, and I think you'll like doing them with pen and paper. Okay. I really like doing- Erasable pen. Well, of course. I love doing crosswords with pen and paper. Yeah, it's just so much, I just like it. I do too. I prefer it. Pen to paper, there's just something about it. That's- You're using different parts of your brain. Absolutely. Anyway, it's the 2023 edition. Sorry about that. It's fine. It's outdated. It's fine. But it has real world facts, Cara. Oh. So, if you really get stuck, I guess you could Google some shit. I, what? You've opened up a whole new venue for me to search things and I appreciate that. Yes, see, that's where I get so many of my searches from. Yeah, I know, I know. I'm like, huh? What is that word? What is that? What does that mean? What the heck? Alright, here's your question. Tell me. Which search was the result of clickbait that made me want to throw my phone when I got the real information? Ammo vending machines. No. Oh, come on! You went too fast! Grease Sixty- No! Don't say that one! New Heights podcast hiatus. Oh, that one. Whew, that was close. I almost missed it. New Heights podcast hiatus. What is going on? So, I saw that and I was like, what? What's happening? And it's a nothing burger. So, stupid. They're taking two months off in the summer as Travis prepares for the new season and attends training camp, like they do every year. Like they do every year. I'm gonna be interested to see how it is with Jason not playing this year. I think He'll just be going to Chiefs games. I have no doubt and that's gonna make for some excellent cutaway shots. Oh my gosh he gets wild. I would much rather see those cutaway shots than Taylor Swift no offense Swifties, and I'm not mad about her being at games. So, don't- it just gets old don't come at me, but I just don't want I just don't care about her reactions to every single play because she's not even a football fan. She's a Travis Kelce fan. I think that Jason Kelce is a football fan. I think he might be. I think that him being at the games would be really fun. Right, like he actually knows what he's looking at. I really hate click baity headlines. And ticker snippets that turn out to be nothing burgers. It makes me so mad. But anyway, New Heights isn't going anywhere. They're just taking time off between seasons like always. Excellent. I mean, come on, that thing's gotta be a cash cow by now. It is making them so much money. Yes, why would they give that up? I don't know. They get to hang out with each other. If they do wanna give it up, I would suggest to them that they call us. Oh, what would we do? Well, we would just say, hey, we'll take over your sponsors. Oh, that is so generous of you. Yeah, because you don't want to leave your sponsors in the lurch. No, we've got a show ready to go. Exactly. We're 45 episodes into it. Correct. It's not like we're newbies. Established. Yeah. We know what we're doing. Yeah, yeah. It's a great idea. Give us a call. My source was entertainmenttonight.com. Well Brea we have a shared history of enjoying football. Yes we do. And being Cheifs fans. Yes. And sort of being Green Bay fans, sort of. Yes. Although you do dog on Green Bay, and it's fans that we're titty babies when we lose. Cause we're not used to losing. You know what, I don't dog on you guys too much anymore. That's true, you don't. Because you're a lot more used to losing. We're losing a lot more. So, you guys aren't as bad about losing as you used to be. We're getting used to, we're getting in the grooves. Like there's always another game, there's always next year. Right. Yeah. But there during the successful, every year was a winning year, it was very like, oh my gosh. It's not will we get into the playoffs, it's when we get into the playoffs. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Well, you know, I think Cheifs fans are starting to get like that. I know, we totally are. Anyway. What else do we share? We share an internet. Share. No. We just shared my stroke that I had. We share brain farts. We, oh, yeah. We share a brain. We do share a brain. And today we're gonna share our internet search histories for the week with our DTH besties. Yes. Right now. First one I'm gonna talk about is NFL preseason. So, we are less than a month away from preseason. The first preseason game is August 1. August 1. What? Yes. So, they're only gonna have one game on August 1 and then the rest of the games start August 8th I don't know why they're having just one game on August the first. Oh, that's like it's a Thursday. Yeah. Um Is that the hall of fame game maybe or yes, I think it is or the- I think the first preseason game is always the Hall of Fame game. I think that maybe. And it's just one game and it's always on a Thursday. Yes, that would make sense because the rest of them are seven days later. And the very first regular season game is September the 5th, which is the Chiefs game on Thursday night. Yeah, of course. Boom. It's gonna be a moneymaker. Yeah, it is. So, as I was looking up the schedule just to figure out, you know, what I need to mark my calendar and tell everybody to buzz off, I'm not going anywhere. I started to get really, really excited for football and I wanted to just talk about football. So, what we're gonna do today, I looked at some interesting NFL facts and you're going to be quizzed. Oh no, okay. Now I know that you don't know a lot about the entire NFL. Multiverse? Yes, exactly. But these I found to be very interesting and I have a feeling you'll just achieve these answers very easily. All right, which team has existed since the founding of the NFL in 1920? Oh. Since the very beginning. Now here's a hint. They have not always had the same name or the same location. Oh yeah, a lot of them have moved around, haven't they? Yes, they have. And I will offer other hints if you are so inclined. Is it on the East Coast? It is not. Oh, wow. Not currently. They'd be really hot right now. They must be the Texans? Mm-mm. No, the Cowboys. Mm-mm. The... Further West. No, not the Seahawks. Tweet! Further south. Oh, wow. I'm doing a great job. The Cardinals. Yes, the Cardinals. The Arizona Cardinals, which were originally the St. Louis Cardinals. Yes. Correct? Well, and like they weren't even the Cardinals to begin with way back when. Like they've gone through... iterations of team names and locations. What were they originally originally? I knew you were gonna ask me that. I don't remember, I didn't write it down. Sorry. Sorry, you guys just have to look that up yourself. Okay. I'm not doing so great so far. They haven't had the same name or the same location for a long time, but which NFL team is the oldest team to retain its name and location since joining the NFL? Do I like this team? Yes. I also like this team. Oh, is it the Chiefs? No, is it the Packers? The Packers. Yeah, yeah. I knew that they were one of the oldies. They are the oldest team in the NFL when the NFL was formed. Of course, there was football before the NFL. Football didn't come about because of the NFL. Right, right, right. But the NFL was formed in 1920 to make everything official. And so since the beginning of the NFL, Green Bay is the oldest team to be a part of the NFL to retain its name and location. Got it. That was an interesting fact. Moving on, as of 2023, which team is monetarily the most valuable? As of 2020. 2023. Three, most valuable team. Monetarily. So, in terms of revenue, this team. I'll tell you, they in 2023 made $1.14 billion. That's billion with a B. The Chiefs. No. Ha ha ha. Oh, I was gonna say the Cowboys. That's right. It's the Cowboys. America's team. America's team. Yeah, yeah. You got it. All right. In 1972, which team achieved the only perfect season? In the history of the NFL, they won all their games and the Super Bowl. The Miami Dolphins. That's right. Yeah. Nailed it. Which year was the first female full-time NFL referee officially hired? Oh gosh, this is when being old is gonna really bite me in the ass because I'm gonna be like, oh, that just happened. But it's gonna be like, hmm, three years ago, maybe. So, 2021. Further back. Really? Yes. 2020? Was it during the pandemic? No, it was before that. Oh, wow. 2019. Further back. 2018. Further back. 17. Further back. 16. 15. That's it. 2015? 2015, her name was Sarah Thomas. Now, she was officially hired as a referee in 2015. However, in 2012, Shannon Easton, she was the first female official. at an NFL game and she was hired as a replacement line judge for a preseason game. So, she wasn't officially hired by the NFL. They pulled her in as a replacement in 2012. So, we got to give credit where credit is due. Yeah. Shannon Easton, she was the first female official on the field, on the field. Right. And then in 2015, Sarah Thomas was officially hired and she is still referring to this day. Yes. I see her all the time. It's fun. I like it. There should be more. And there are more. She's not the only one. Oh, is that right? I believe there are two or three. That's great. Don't quote me on that. Last one. Okay. You're doing great. Yeah, right. Which teams faced off in the first official Super Bowl in 1967? Oh, that was the Chiefs and Packers. That's right. Yeah. Do you know who won? And bonus points if you know the score. I do not know the score, that is not happening. But it was the Packers who won. The Packers won. It was 30 to 10. Go Pack Go. My sources for that were NFL.com and playtoday.co. Okay, I'm all revved up for football now. I know. It's just so hot. Anyway. Okay, here we go. Okay. My first search that we're going to talk about is Ammo vending machines. Yes please. Okay. Two grocery stores in Alabama have automated ammunition dispensers. The machines manufactured by the company American Rounds use artificial intelligence technology to verify the buyer's identification and age through card scanning and facial recognition software. So, here's what you do. You go in, you insert your photo ID, to match you to your ID card to make sure that you are the person on the card and that the card is official. It scans the card. And then you can make your purchase, your ammunition purchase. Now this is like pistols, rifles, and revolvers. I don't believe it's anything. I mean, it's not semi-automatic. And it's not, obviously not assault rifles. That's good. The COO of one of the grocery stores says the kiosk is a big hit with customers. American Rounds also has machines in four Oklahoma grocery stores, and the machines are reportedly completely legal and have been vetted by the ATF. Now, the more I read about this, the more, I mean, at first when I saw it, I was like, oh, hell no, this is... This is crazy. But the more I read about it, the more I changed my mind about it. Do tell. Because I think that this is better than some, yay-hoo, at a pawn shop, no offense to anybody, if you work at a pawn shop, or an ammo store, or a sporting goods store, or whatever, who doesn't really give a crap, and doesn't really look at the ID that well, and whatnot. Also, you can't shoplift ammo from one of these things. It's all enclosed. That was gonna be my next question. So, if you go to like the big sporting goods store we have in this town, whose headquarters is here, that ammunition is just out on shelves and you can just put it in your purse or your pocket and walk away. And in this case, you cannot do that. So, I kind of think that it's safer for people to get their ammunition from a vending machine. And I think I'm on board with it, which I was shocked. You shocked yourself. I shocked myself. So, I was like, you know what? Fine. You don't want to talk to people when you buy your ammo, fine. Now, a gun is a different story, but. I was joking with my brother about this because I was telling him about it. And he said, yeah, let's do that with gun sales too. But we have to keep your ID for two weeks for your waiting period. That's right. He was like, let's see how many people want to get a gun. They have to give up their, I was like, it'd be worse if they have to give up like their phone. Ooh. Here, you have to give up your phone for 48 hours so that we can scan it. See what's on your phone, see what you're looking up, see what your search history is. Oh my gosh. Um, anyway, that was just a couple of stupid libtards dreaming big. My sources were AL.com and TuscaloosaThread. Oh, okay. Alright. What do you think about it? I'm trying to decide. I do see, I do see the good part of that. Mm-hmm. people are gonna buy ammo for their weapons no matter what. There's no stopping that. Right. I don't think I have a problem with it. I don't either. At first I kinda did and I was like, oh no. But I think that was just like knee jerk. Like, ah. I don't like it, cause gun owners like it. Yeah, cause everyone's gonna be treated the same. Right. Everyone's. But then what happens when, you know, you're, best friend has had their license taken away and they are like, hey, can you go buy me some ammo? That'd probably happen anyway. Oh, I'm sure it will. That would happen at ProBass or Cabela's or whatever. You're just never gonna get around people using guns to hurt other people. Correct. It's just not possible. And you're never gonna get around people circumventing the laws. No, you're not. to do what they're gonna do. So, I say go for it. Let's see how it goes. Yeah, why not? Yeah. All right, what's your next one? My next one is Betty Thomas. Now this is an old search, but I wanted to circle back to it. Okay. A few weeks ago, you and I went to the Alamo to see Troop Beverly Hills. Oh, yes. That's a favorite movie of mine. It's an oldie, but you had never seen it. Clint recommended you not go. If I recall, he said it was a terrible movie. Yes. He might've even called it garbage. Boo on you, Clint, it's awesome. I know. I enjoyed it. It's a cute movie. I thought it was funny and cute. Not only is it cute, I think it has some really funny jokes and it has some adult humor in it. It was way more adult than I thought it was gonna be. Yeah. Because I thought it was gonna be like a kid movie, like The Parent Trap or something like that, like along those lines. Yeah. But it was way more adult than I thought. And then I remembered, that's right, because in the 80s there were no such thing as kid movies. That's right. We watched, I mean, we didn't watch movies if our parents were strict about it. That's right. We just didn't watch movies unless they were animated and rated G. But other than that, there were no kid movies, really. Every movie that even had a little bit of interest to a kid was still. Questionable and parents were just like, ah, yeah whatever, generation X. Yeah, it's like that meme. They made us watch Challenger. Yeah, they made us watch the challenger blow up I mean, hello and then they just wheeled the TV out and didn't say anything and then they're like hey It's time for math. We just need to get back to English class now. Yep Let's conjugate this verb. Take it gen X conjugate the verb explode. Push down the feelings that you're feeling right now. That's correct. So, the main character of this movie is Shelly Long, who I love. Yes. And the antagonist is played by Betty Thomas, whose character in this movie is a militant wilderness girl troop leader. Uh-huh. So, this movie was actually my first and only exposure to Betty Thomas. I thought she was super funny in this movie. Of course, she's over the top and ridiculous, but I thought like just her facial expressions and. Her non-verbal comedy just kills me. And you really do hate her. Yes. Like she's good at making you despise her. Exactly. So, I looked her up, and it turns out she has a really long history in television, and not just as an actress, but mainly as a director. So, I found that super interesting. And also, she's a Missouri girl. Is she? Born in St.Louis. And after she graduated from college, she worked as an artist for a while and taught high school. And then she joined Second City, which is famous for the improv. Audiences were like loving her there. They loved just how outspoken she was and she's real brash and she just didn't care what people thought of her. And so she had very memorable improv at Second City. Then Second City opened another location in LA. And so she wanted to move to LA. to grow her comedy career. So, she followed Second City there. And then she started getting small gigs and like low budget films and sketch comedies. But her breakthrough role ended up being a dramatic one. Brea, did you watch Hill Street Blues? Oh my gosh. A couple of times I watched some reruns of Hill Street Blues with my granny. Okay, well hang on. I've got a picture. Here's what she looked like on Hill Street Blues. Oh my gosh. I think I do remember her. So, she was Lucy Bates, Sergeant Lucy Bates. Look at that hair. Isn't it amazing? So, she in fact was so good on the show. She was nominated for Emmy awards for outstanding supporting actress in a drama every single year she was on that show. Which was from 1981 to 1987, but she only won once and that was in 1985. After she finished with Hill Street Blues, she started directing and she started with episodes of a TV show called Hooper Man or Hooperman starring John Ritter. Do you remember that show? Oh, wait a minute. I don't remember that show at all. And that was, I think, in 1987. I... Do you remember? I think I do, because, I mean, I don't... It's ringing some bells, because I loved John Ritter. Me, too. I would have watched him in anything. I even watched that stupid show about rules for dating my teenage daughter or whatever. Yeah, it's like eight rules for yes. It was a terrible show, but I even watched that one. Oh, I did too. Because I was like, I love him so much. Hooperman, San Francisco cop Harry Hooperman inherits a rundown apartment building, not having time to maintain the building. Hooperman hires Susan as the person in charge and they begin a relationship. Does that sound familiar to you? It does actually. That's hilarious. I'm gonna have to IMDB that. Yeah, do. And look at some stills of it to see if I remember. She started directing those. And then once people found out she was an awesome director, she got other directing gigs on Doogie Howser, MD, Arresting Behavior, and the HBO series Dream On. In 1993, she became the first woman to win an Emmy award for directing a comedy series, which was the HBO TV show Dream On. Yeah, okay. In 1992, She directed her first feature film called Only You. Three years later, she directed the Brady Bunch movie. Do you remember that? Oh my goodness, Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! Yes, the satirical version of the TV series from the 70s. It was a box office smash. It made so much freaking money. And in fact, at that time, it was one of the highest grossing films ever directed by a woman. Wow. 1994, 1996, she received Emmys for outstanding individual achievement for directing in a mini series or a special. Remember when there used to be mini series specials on TV? Oh, yeah. My family, we were we were big fans of the mini series. We watched all those mini series. We did, too. Roots. Oh, War and Peace. Oh, North and South. Oh, the North and South. That's what I meant. Not War and Peace. Yeah. North and South. The with Patrick Stewart. No. I'm so worked up about the miniseries. Patrick Swayze. Yes. Yes, North and South. About the Civil War. Yes. Yeah. Not to be confused with North and South. Right. The masterpiece thing. Elizabeth Gaskell book. So, good. With Richard Armitage. Look back at me. It's the best part of the whole freaking movie. Okay. Anyway. Yes, which is also a miniseries. Oh, it is a miniseries. But anyway. Sorry. What else did we watch? We watched all those miniseries. Yeah. All of them. So, she won two Emmys for directing two of those miniseries that you probably watched. Excellent. So, she followed the Brady Bunch movie with other film directing jobs, including Private Parts with Howard Stern. Remember what a scandal that movie was. Right. Dr. Doolittle with Eddie Murphy. Oh my goodness. 28 Days starring Sandra Bullock. I love that movie. I know you do. John Tucker Must Die with Jesse Metcalf, and in 2009. Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Squeakwool, Oh no. became the first female directed picture to gross more than $200 million. That movie? The Squeakwool. Oh no. Not even the original. Oof. She must be one hell of a director. Was that the one though with What's His Face? It was like computer animated. And it had. Yes. Uh, Jace, what's his name? The guy who from My Name is Earl. What is his name? Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Squeakwool. Starring Jason Lee, Zachary Levi, David Cross. Yeah. I love David Cross. For Mr. Show, Cara, for Mr. Show. Justin Long. Oh, there's a lot. Amy Poehler's in this. Amy, Anna Faris, Christina Applegate. Yeah. This. That's why it made so much money. Yeah. There's tons of famous people in this. And then people went to see it and they were like, oh my gosh, I can't get my money back. Let's see how many stars it got. It has four and a half stars on IMDB. Out of 10. Oh yeah. Yeah. I forgot that the IMDB is out of 10. Brea was incredulous. Yeah. I was like out of five? What? Okay. So, in 2001, Betty won the Dorothy Arsner Directors Award, and 20 years later, she received the Robert B. Aldrich Award from the Directors Guild of America. Here's a sad fact. Oh no. In 2023, only 12% of directors in the film industry were women. That is up from 2.7% in 2007. Hey. And Betty started directing in 1992. She was probably like the only female director. Yeah, close to it. That's crazy. Anyway, as you read through that, she is a lady of firsts, y'all. Yeah, she's a trailblazer. You go, Betty. Go, Betty. Books and cats and books and cats, books and cats. I always just do, uns, uns. Yeah, it's because you're beyond books and cats. You've learned. I see. You just, oh, that's more advanced than books and cats. Absolutely. Or boots and cats. Now I keep saying books and cats. You're raising the roof. You're raising the roof all on your own. You don't have to think about it. Okay. My sources for that were imdb.com, immes.com, and Wikipedia. Excellent. Betty's Still Alive. Oh, good. FYI. I gotta drink some water after that. It's getting hot in here. Oh, yeah. Take off all my clothes. I'm getting so hot. We can't afford that. Shh. It's so hot in here! Um, what were your- oh yeah, you already said your sources. Would you like me to say them again for your benefit? I'm replaying them in my head. Okay. My last search is Greece 6-day work week. Yes, please. First of all, before I even tell you anything about this, what is your gut reaction when you hear six day work week? I hope the hours are shorter. And I don't want that. And I actually would like a three day weekend, not a one day weekend. Right, so you'd rather go just to a four day week. I think that we've reached the time in our lives that a four day, eight hour work week is called four. There's plenty, you think that's enough time? I do. I'm so worn out by the weekend. Yeah. And I'm just doing a desk job. I am mentally spent. Yeah. And it sucks. Yeah, yeah. I get you. Because, you know, at night, I'm not living the full life I would like to. Right. Because I'm putting it all into my job. Yeah. And it's not even a job that I love. Right. What am I doing? Yeah. I digress. I agree with you. And a lot of... countries, which we'll talk about in a minute, they are going to a four day work week. Uh-huh. But usually it's like four tens. I hate to break it to you. There's no difference there. We're still, whatever. But then you get three days to recover, is the difference, which I think would make a big difference. Could I do four nines? Can I negotiate a little bit? You could negotiate, I think. Okay. But anyway. My gut reaction when I saw this headline was, hell no. It was my reaction. I can't imagine a six day week. I'm already only working a four day week. And I can't imagine going back to five. Like sometimes I think, you know, maybe I should just go back to five days a week. And then I have a visceral physical reaction to that. I bet you do. I'm just like, no. Yeah. Because I've just gotten so used to, hey, I have one day a week where I can get other things done. Yes. That's actually a weekday. Yep. Where doctors are open and stuff like that. So, yeah, it just goes all through me to think about five days, much less six. But it's happening for some workers in Greece. The prime minister says. This initiative is the result of a shrinking population and the shortage of skilled workers. Oh crap. They have a major problem over there with brain drain. Oh no. Young people are leaving Greece. Oh, that's interesting. Because it's expensive to live there, but salaries are low. OK. And they're like, what you got for me? Nothing. I can go somewhere else in the EU and work somewhere else. And live a better life. Employees of private businesses that provide round-the-clock services and select industries and manufacturing facilities have the choice of working an additional two hours per day or an extra eight hour shift, an extra eight hour day. So, they can stick to their five days a week and tack on two more hours. A day. How can the government mandate that? Say that again, who has this option? Who is being asked to work six days a week? Private business, employees of private businesses that provide round the clock services and select industries and manufacturing facilities. Okay. Wow. Yeah. The extra shift is rewarded with a top up fee of 40%. added to the daily wage. Pro-business government officials who push this legislation through say this will cut down on workers not being paid for overtime as they work, undeclared hours to get their work done, and a traditional 40-hour work week. So, in other words, Salaried workers or workers who are working an hourly wage Mm-hmm a lot of times are not getting paid their overtime. Mm-hmm. And so, they're working 50 hours a week and There or 48 hours a week or whatever and they're not getting paid overtime. It's just kind of like well, I'm salary so It's it's getting just kind of folded in. And so they're losing money because businesses aren't paying them. Right. They're overtime. Now I'm saying, why don't you crack down on the businesses who don't pay the correct overtime? Right. This is what I'm confused about. Like. And they have unions over there, so I don't know what's going on with them. But I'm not buying it, I think it's a crock. But meanwhile, other countries like Japan, South Africa, Germany, and Canada have tried out four-day work weeks, and companies are seeing increased levels of productivity and better focus. Yes. Belgium officially started offering four-day work weeks to employees in 2022. You can legally opt for a four-day work week. The Greeks worked the longest hours in Europe, putting in an average 41 hours a week and being paid much less than the EU average. One worker described it as Bulgarian salaries with British prices. Oh, that's interesting. I don't think they're going to keep young workers from emigrating by instituting even more draconian labor laws. I'm just trying to. Imagine how this is a solution. It's really not. Work harder. Yeah. Spend less time with your family. Right. I don't get it. I have heard the same statistics about people moving to four-day work weeks, where they have happier, more productive employees. Right. Yeah, because you've got more time to recover, rest, spend time with your family. Restore hobbies that are restorative to your brain and your body and whatever. Yeah. Absolutely. Of course. Wow. You know, it's kind of like the whole hybrid work situation. A lot of companies since the pandemic has ended, since we've gone back to not being shut down or not under lockdown, they have tried to go back to, hey, you come to the office five days a week. Yep. And you know, a lot of workers are like, no. And so I'm really glad that I work for a company that allows us to have a flexible work agreement. And as long as it's not affecting the bottom line of the company, and it's not affecting performance, and it's an availability to your fellow coworkers who need you, they're like, you know, we don't really care where you sit. Exactly. It doesn't matter where you sit. Now I know with my job, I kind of have to be there because I'm assisting two directors and we are constantly having conversations and working things out between all their meetings. And it would not be efficient for me to be at home. I get that. Yeah. However, I think that me being at home one day a week, could work just fine. Yeah, it wouldn't be a problem. And honestly, just the thought, just when I sit and think about what that might be, like let's say I did Tuesdays, like I just worked from home on Tuesdays, just the thought of imagining that work schedule, it lowers my stress just to even think about it. How awesome that would be. Well, just think about how many fewer interruptions you would have. Oh God. Because just that alone. Even when I work from home, I'm still interrupted. I'm just a phone call away. Sure. Or a chat away. Right. And I am or whatever. So, I'm constantly being pinged and binged and. Right. And when someone calls, we're supposed to put our camera on. We're supposed to be on video. They want people to be face to face in some way. Sure. But yeah, it's like, it doesn't matter. I'm in an office anyway where I only work with six other people from the company. So, I'm like 90% of the time I'm not with the people in the same office anyway. Because they're in Green Bay and I'm here and whatever. That is not the case with me. Correct. Yeah, that's a little bit different. But I mean, just all the things that go into when you stop and think about what you have to do to get ready to go to. A job, all the things that you have to do. From the moment your feet hit the ground in the morning, there is a lot. And I never stopped to think about it until the pandemic started and they told us stay home, work from home. And then you didn't have to do those things anymore. And you're like, Oh, Oh my gosh, I'm getting so much time back to myself. I have far less stress. And then when they said, okay, everybody, it's time to come back. It was very like my mentality about work had definitely changed. I mean, we all had. Yeah. My inner child threw a big fat hissy fit. I knew that mine was coming. I knew it was. There's no way government is gonna say, yeah, just work from home, it's fine. Even though I think there are some government employees that do work from home, but it wasn't gonna happen for us. I was like, we have the technology now. Because we were forced to get the technology and to get it up to speed. And our IT department did a phenomenal job of getting everything the way it needed to be so that there were no interruptions in service. And so, I mean, kudos to them, because that's why I can work from home three out of the four days that I work, because they did all that hard work and we can. And we can substitute a lot of the things that we used to do and just do it in front of a screen. Well, what's a little bit frustrating, and this is the last thing I'll say about it, with where I work with the city, we're busting at the seams and we're constantly looking for space. Send some people home that can obviously work from home. Right, they're not public facing. Right, they're like the accountants or people that are just in their cube all day long. Send them home, let them work from home if they want to. It frees up space in the buildings that we already have. And all you have to do is just monitor productivity. Yes. Which you would be doing anyway. Yes, you have these deliverables this week. You check in. These are the rules. You check in with your supervisor. It ain't hard. No. And you know what the metrics are. Yes. The metrics are this, and this to keep everything running the way it needs to be running. start to not run the way they're supposed to run, then you know you got a problem with somebody not doing what they're supposed to be doing. And you either manage that or you bring them back into the office. Right, and it's easy to see who the problem is. Of course it is. It'll be so easy to pinpoint. Whatever. So, I think a lot of it is that people don't wanna, that people don't trust employees to be on task and to be doing what they're supposed to be doing. But if you're getting the job done, it shouldn't matter. Where you're doing it. I agree. But anyway, I don't know how Greece as a government, I don't know who they think they're fooling. All of the explanations that I saw and the spin that they tried to put on it, it was just so obviously spin. Like I didn't see a single explanation where I was like, oh yeah, you know what, like with the ammo vending machines. You know, I came into that story having a definite opinion about what I thought about that. And I changed my mind because I started reading more about them and I was like, oh, you know what? And yeah, sure, it's spin from the company. Hey, you won't have this and you won't have that. But their spin actually made sense. This doesn't make any sense. It makes zero sense. So, their... Do you think they're just trying to avoid the collapse of their economy again? Again? Yes. Yeah. Because I mean, they did work really hard to get their economy back up. That was a complete, just that was a nightmare and a mess. So, I get it, but this ain't, this ain't going to do it. I don't think so. In fact, I think this will make it worse. Right. Especially when you live in a place like Greece, right? It's like a freaking paradise. I just can't imagine if I were born there, I can't imagine leaving. I mean, I know if you can't make a living, you got to go somewhere else. I get that. But gosh, I. Yeah, if you can't keep people there in that country. Right. That's a serious problem. I mean, I know I'm looking at it from way far away. And so, I don't know all the nitty gritty details and the things that, you know, every country has. It's issues and problems, but this is a big issue. And I could see why it's driving people away. They're like, you know what? Yeah, enough is enough. And they're part of the EU, so it's easy. Right. For people to leave. Exactly, exactly. Like I'm out. Wow, that's so interesting. My sources were The Guardian and CNBC. But Brea, what about this one? Which one? This one. Oh. I have seven of these ones. Oh, I don't have a whole lot this week either, as a matter of fact. So, let's just dive right into a quick listing of our other searches from this past week that we didn't have time to talk about or discuss or simply too boring to share. You're boring. Uh-huh. Some of them are. Mine are Firebrand, The Movie, WeatherTech, Bass Pro, Helzberg Diamonds. I know! Hey, sponsor us Bass Pro! I mean, we've talked about you enough today. Oh geez, you've gotten so much free advertising. Helzberg Diamonds, AutoZone, CVS, Olivet, Fish Oil for Dogs, Springfield Cardinals, and Beanstack. Beanstack? That is who the library uses for their summer reading. Challenge. Oh, so it's a little app. Oh, it's Technological. Yes, so you go in and you say yes I sign up for the summer reading challenge and then you log your books as you read It's fun. Do you have to get your books from the library? No, so it could be any books you read you can log in the reading challenge. Yep, any books. Oh boy, and I should be getting credit for all the books. I'm reading. Of course you should log into Beanstack and… So, this year, the prize, when I say prize, I mean, you know, it's the honor system. Correct. You have to read so many books by a certain date. But this year, you have to include activities as well. So, you have to do a certain number of activities. Like they do for the kids. Kind of, yeah. Yeah. So, like you can go onto the library's website and write a book review. Or you can start following the library on Instagram. So, those are the kind of activities they're talking. Not like- Easy ones that I can do sitting on my ass? Yeah, and not like a, you know, some kind of treasure hunt that you have to go out and I did this and talk to- Make a diorama. I talked to nine strangers about myself and things like that. No, no, no. Oh gosh, please, no talking to strangers. So, the prize is a notebook. Oh, what? Yes. I'm totally in now. Summer reading challenge notebook. I'm totally in. Last time. It was a coffee mug that was really cool. And you know me and coffee mugs, I'm there. I never met one I didn't like. Me neither. All right. All right, hit me with your list. Here it is. You're gonna laugh. Okay. At the very first one. All right. Exactly Right Media. Of course. Jobs. Yes. I found one, but it was expired. Aw, womp, womp. Edgar Allan Poe, speak easy. Springfield tickets. I freaking read about that this morning. Are you going? No, probably not. Me neither. I don't go to cool things. Me neither. I just read about them and say, man, I should go to that. Crystal Quartz in watches. Little Library Cabinet. New season, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. There's none. Oh. It was a false alarm. Okay. Shirley Jackson fiction. New lead Grant Chester character. There's a new vicar. Oh. Brea and her hot religious men. Yeah, but if I ever actually met one, first of all, he would run so far, so fast away from me. And I would be like, there ain't no way I could never be with a guy, with a man of God. Never. I just am not, no, not built for that. You have to be a very specific, special person. All of the pastors wives I’ve known are such wonderful, special people. And that ain't me. I think you're wonderful and special. Well, thank you, in different ways. In different ways. But I do like the F-bomb and that would be a major deal breaker. It probably would, yes. Oh, and I don't like going to church. Another major deal breaker. That's one thing that you have to really do. Bring that up on the first date, just get it out of the way. I don't like going to church. Fuck. Church. I… CARA! Cara’s looking for the for the lightning. Woah, woah! No, I mean, obviously I'm kidding about that, but that would be a great conversation ender well on a first date. That would be a core memory. I think that you'd give to that individual. It would be a great story for them to eventually tell their children. Yes, you're right. Not of that woman and you. Right. I went on a date one time. I would never say that. I'm kidding. I said that just to make Cara cringe and sweat. I sweated. Sweating. Do you have any shout outs? I don't have any shout outs this week. I don't either. Well, I guess this is sort of a shout out. Erin checked in with us. Oh, she did. Yes, I saw that. Erin says possum. Yes. And Heather and Colleen also. They did? Checked in today, yes. Oh, great. Today as we record this. Thank you, sisters. Yes. They chimed in. Colleen sent a picture of the opossum from Australia. Shut the front door. I'm an idiot. Opossum is North America. She sent a picture of the possum. The possum. the other species is completely different. Right. And it is really cute. They're very cute. Was it white? Uh, I can't remember. I've seen pictures of the white ones, they're very cute. And Heather, yes. Then chimed in. It was like a family reunion on this thread. And she said, I disagree with the DTH gals. I think possums are adorable. I know. And then she said, and they're very important. to the ecology. Well, they are, Heather. I won't argue with you there. I will not argue. But, oh, 50 teeth and there's tails. Oh, the prehensile tails. And the thumbs on their feet. I'm sorry, I am out. Well, you have a really big prejudice against animals that have opposable thumbs. I do. Yes. I do, too close to humans. You don't like primates? It's that uncanny thing. It's the uncanny. It's gross. It's too close to human. Too close to human. But anyway, that's your own issue. It is, and I don't mean to force that on anyone. I know that's my own issue. I'll get through it someday. Okay, so other people, if you want us to talk about your interactions with us, you should rate and review us. Please, please.
