TKO: All About Beer (Hour 2)

Mornings with WFHR · Mon Apr 7, 2025

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us at WFHR.

Got your host, James Biden, Mike.

Join by Melissa.

Good morning.

Seth.

Good morning.

And the best listeners in radio.

Thanks for joining us, everybody.

Hope you're having a great stir to your week out there.

We got good things coming up.

We're going to have a little entertainment news for you.

And a little bit.

We'll get into that.

We got our monthly veterans update with Tom Heiser in just a few.

But it is a Monday in the 9 o'clock hour.

You know what that means.

Good morning and welcome to the kitchen's open on WFHR for this Monday, April 7th.

I know it's only just after 9 in the morning, but it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

So we're going to talk about the third most popular drink in the country,

at least according to the National Day calendar.

Beer.

That's right.

It's National Beer Day.

Everybody.

Why, thank you, Dudley Moore.

We did the whole thing in my life.

It was.

Very good.

Beer seems to be one of those, take it or leave it taste for people.

Of course, there's lots of different types and flavors of beer.

So there are options.

You are not wrong, but we'll get into that a bit later.

First, let's take a look at the history of beer and how it has been adapted over the

millennia.

That's right.

I have to admit, I have never been much of a beer drinker.

I'm still not really, but I do enjoy the flavored beers.

Yes.

Or as my dad calls them candy beer.

Yeah.

Just remember like coffee.

I drink flavor.

Anyway.

It has flavor when you talk about that.

Well, yeah.

When you add some stuff to it.

But we'll get into that later.

Anyway, let's take a look back at beer.

Did you know that it didn't always contain the level of alcohol it does now?

Mm-hmm.

According to an interesting article I found at the National Library of Medicine, National

Center for Biotechnology Information entitled, A Short History of Beer Brewing Alcohol

Fermentation and Yeast Technology Over Time, as far back as we can retrace history, beer

has always been an important part of human life.

It was, it wasn't still as a valuable food staple that has been constantly improved and adapted

to human needs.

For most of the time, intoxication was not the main purpose and could only be achieved

to a limited extent, if at all given that beer had a low alcohol content for most of human

history.

Instead, beer owing to its specific ingredients and characteristics, alcohol, carbon dioxide

and low pH value was often the only safe liquid to drink when clean water was rare.

That's right.

You see that too?

Fascinating.

Make sure to have some beer with your dinner.

That's right.

Well, and there goes that excused by college speakers for generations.

Yeah.

You just wanted to run around naked.

Yeah.

Right.

So this has happened for millennia.

It wasn't used for intoxication.

So what was beer used for and who invented it?

Well, according to an article who invented beer, the first fermented beverages, most likely

emerged alongside the development of cereal agriculture some 12,000 years ago.

This article was written by Evan Andrews for history.com.

He says, the earliest known alcoholic beverage may have been brewed around 7,000 BCE in China

in the village of Jaahu, where neolithic pottery shows evidence of a mead type concoction

made from rice, honey and fruit.

That's not what we usually consider beer.

Right.

Apparently, that was the first.

The first barley beer was most likely born in the Middle East where hard evidence of

beer production dates back about 5,000 years to the Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia.

Not only have archaeologists unearthed ceramic vessels from 3,400 BC still sticky with beer

residue.

Hard to clean.

Yeah.

But the hymn to Nincasi, an 1,800 BC ode to the Sumerian goddess of beer, describes

a recipe for a beloved ancient brew made by female priestesses.

Wow.

They had a goddess of beer.

I love that.

Just for some.

The article goes on to say few ancient cultures love their beer as much as ancient Egyptians.

Others along the Nile were often paid with an element of nutrition, sweet brew, and

everyone from Pharaohs to peasants and even children drink beer as part of their everyday

diet.

Many of these ancient beers were flavored with unusual additives such as mandrake, dates

in olive oil.

See, flavoring beer.

Yeah, I guess they've been doing it so.

They've been IPAs a long time.

Apparently, according to Egyptologists, right next to the brewery was the bakery, because

they used the same ingredients, so they would always be together.

They'll get to that in a little bit too.

Spoiling it.

But anyway.

That is really interesting.

The article continues, more modern tasting libations would not arrive until the Middle

Ages, when Christian monks and other artisans began brewing beer seasoned with hops, closer

to what we know today.

Correct.

So beer was brewed by priestesses and adapted by priests.

I guess it was a wholly different experience in drinking.

Oh, well played.

Well played.

Boo.

Well, you know, it is kind of part of my day job.

Yeah.

All kidding aside, the science behind the fermentation process is fascinating.

Let's go back to the National Library of Medicine.

From a biotechnology point of view, this is where it gets interesting as the alcohol producing

yeast are, of course, the most important factor in producing beer with pleasant characteristics.

These yeast are likely also a product of human civilization and domestication since alcohol

producing yeast are a rarity among microorganisms.

When humans began to live in close contact with domesticated animals and pests, pests, animal

bacteria and viruses adapted to human and to infect humans, some of the most dangerous

human pathogens evolved that way.

Other useful microorganisms adapted as well to take advantage of new foods, such as

cereal, porridge or milk, lactic acid bacteria, for example, lost pathogenic genes and specialized

in the utilization of lactose.

Similarly, yeast evolved to better metabolize various sugars into alcohol, which is a protective

mechanism by converting the temporary sugar overhang of ripe fruits into a compound that

many competing microorganisms are not able to utilize.

The baking and brewing yeast sacro miceis, cerevisae, in particular, evolved the ability to

utilize malt sugar, which is one of the rarest sugars in the wild.

Timo Theodor Schwann, a pioneer in fermentation science, thus first classified this organism

as sugar fungus.

In 1836, given the much cheaper price compared to wine, the better availability of raw materials,

but primarily the advantage of being able to store malt and grain, beer quickly became

the more important beverage.

Wow.

And I see now that that's interesting, the cerevisae, I'm guessing is where the root word

for cerveza is in Spanish.

That's my guess.

So that's really cool.

Oh, learn something new.

Love it.

Yeah.

That's wonderful term.

Yes.

So I know that wine can have health benefits, so I wondered if the same was true of beer.

So according to Healthline.com, light to moderate beer intake may be associated with lower

risk of heart disease, improved blood sugar control, stronger bones, and reduced dementia

risk.

However, heavy and binge drinking has the opposite effects.

Right.

Moderate would be maybe one, 12 ounce can of beer, a couple of times a week, not like

10 or a whole case of beer in one night, that's not going to help you.

Right.

So many things, whether we're talking about beer or sugar or other things that we, for

the longest time, we kind of incorporated them into our societies in different cultures

in different parts of the world, but we didn't incorporate the excess of that or the,

you know, really, ancestors really didn't see maybe this coming where there'd be, you

know, bars that would sell beer that would, you know, different things that would make

this an issue.

I think that's important to keep in mind when we're talking about the other side of this,

whether it is sugar or beer or alcohol, I should say, or any of those things, where

we're kind of, we're young in the idea of handling how to handle the other side of this.

We've only, we've only had a couple of decades to really kind of like, oh my god, this

is a problem.

It was never a problem before.

It was never necessarily an issue.

It may have been on certain levels and certain parts and everything, but it wasn't as if

this is something that it was only, especially even in the look at pop culture and the

town drunk or some of these things that we would do or, and I mean, that's only in the

last couple hundred years that that stuff has really been a thing.

We are very late to this.

And that's something I think to keep in mind as a society when we're talking about this

stuff.

The other part I think that is so beautiful about this, or interesting I should say about

this, is how much, what do I got around me, you know, when it comes to, and you probably

get this a lot with cooking bath, where, hey, what do I got around me, I can use, and

I'm going to use whatever I got around me to make it work.

Exactly, which is why bakeries were often next to breweries because of the yeast that

was created from the fermentation process.

So you would have to clean out the vats, but you would keep some of it, but you didn't

need all of it so that you would add more ingredients.

So what do you do with what you're getting rid of?

Well, bakeries use yeast to make bread, and one of the things that I found very interesting

was during COVID, there was this back going back towards making beer bread because you

knew you could get that a little more readily than maybe some other ingredients.

So I started making beer bread at home, which has its own unique flavor and it has a different

texture to it, but it can taste delicious.

And the nice thing is the alcohol of the beer gets baked out, so it's not like you have

a slice of beer bread and you're drunk, it's not going to happen.

But it can have the take on the flavor of whatever type of beer you do use.

The recipe is really easy.

You need three cups of flour, three teaspoons of baking powder.

You can, now if you're using self-rising flour, take that out because the baking powder

is already in the flour.

But if you're using all-purpose flour, add that three teaspoons of baking powder, which

by the way, equals one tablespoon, in case you need to give it a different version.

Oh, okay.

Definitely need that.

Okay.

One teaspoon salt, and again, if you're using the self-rising, that's already in there.

It's only if you're using the all-purpose flour, add that one teaspoon of salt, a quarter

cup of sugar, one twelve ounce count of beer.

And then you want to have on hand a quarter to a half a cup of melted butter.

Okay.

Heat your oven to 375 degrees, mix your dry ingredients and the beer, and then pour that

into a greased loaf pan, pour the melted butter over the mixture, and bake for an hour, remove

from the pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.

Now, this is going to make a very crusty, hard bread with a very dense center.

If you'd rather have it more like a normal loaf of bread that you would normally get, you

simply add the melted butter into the other ingredients and bake it that way.

So you do want to sift the flour for bread recipes.

You have to make sure that do that, and most people just scoop the one cup measure into

the canister and level it off.

That compacts the flour, and that will turn the bread into a hard biscuit.

That will make it more dense.

Right.

So, as someone described, that's because they aren't sifting the flour.

So if you do have a sifter, use that sifter.

If you don't, use a spoon in the flour and pour the spoon into the cup measure before

you level it off.

That will help a lot and make it a little bit more like spongy, like lighter.

Yeah.

Sounds good.

Wow.

Not bad.

The really interesting thing for me is obviously with the baking and stuff, along with bread

and that sort of thing.

That's how ubiquitous beer has been over the years, and how it was actually safer to drink

than water.

Right.

Because of the waterborne illnesses.

You have to do certain things, and in the process of making beer, you do that, you boil

the water.

You know, and this stuff.

So it totally makes sense that, and of course people don't, you can't get things done

when you're drunk, you know, so let's put the alcohol content really low, but we know

we're drinking something safe.

Right.

So that totally makes sense.

We've used today in many countries that don't have the type of technology that we do with

water-filled treatment.

Right.

Where it is safer to have something like that.

Right.

Now, wild.

Wow.

And we haven't even touched on the possibility of using it to boil with, I mean, how many of

us have had a great beer-boiled broth?

Oh.

Gosh.

Yeah.

Beer-boiled broth?

Yeah.

Say that five times faster in the morning, right?

She's been amazing.

Yeah.

Some of the words you've said.

She's given herself a hard time.

Yeah.

Thought I heard a little bit of the Pennsylvania in there.

In there.

Yeah.

I thought one of the points I almost heard.

Probably.

I got a little bit of everything here.

Yeah.

So what are some of the types of beers out there, right?

Cause I go to, go to like a brewery.

I don't know an ale from a logger from a high-vevicin and all of that, right?

So ails and loggers all, all beer falls into either of those two categories.

Yeast is the difference here.

And loggers yeast gathers at the bottom of the tank during fermentation.

Loggers usually are usually crisp, clean and refreshing.

With ails, the yeast gathers at the top.

These beers are aromatic and often fruity.

Another difference is the timing and temperature.

Ails age for just a few weeks around 40 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

While loggers can age for months between 32 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

There you go.

So you can get an Indian pale ale or an IPA.

This is the most popular craft beer style today.

It's the calling card is hops.

That's what makes a difference.

And that's a thing that's a very happy.

Which is, this is interesting.

Hops is the plant related in the marijuana family.

Oh.

I didn't know that.

So rumours and flavors like citrus, spice, tropical fruits, pine and berries.

So that's where you get that from.

Stouts are dark colored ails made with roasted barley.

That imparts chocolate or coffee flavors.

Some are aged in bourbon or other wood barrels for deeper and boozyer character.

Boozyer.

And this is coming from, believe it or not, I know the irony here, wineinthusiest.com.

So why do my country's beer?

There you go.

So there are sources out there.

This is a wonderful topic to dive into.

There was so much information out there.

It was hard to kind of pair it down for what would work here.

But I wanted to at least touch on how to celebrate this day.

So go out and have a beer of your flavor.

You know, whether it be an IPA, a logger, a pale ale, I have a bicycle.

It doesn't matter.

If it's bad.

Malt liquor.

Oh wait, no.

You know, whatever it is, enjoy juso responsively and safely or consider making a loaf of beer

bread today.

There you go.

And just try that out.

I will have that recipe that I found and linked in for at our next newsletter, which you

can find and sign up for coming to our website WFHR.com.

And we will definitely have that there.

You can sign up for the newsletter.

It comes to you each week.

It is absolutely free.

And there is a section on the kitchen's open each week as well as the wonderful articles

that our staff work so hard to put together.

Indeed.

So there is no shortage of ways to enjoy beer.

We encourage you to do so safely again.

We also encourage your business to check out the many ways you can enjoy being promoted

on our show by becoming a sponsor of this segment.

In addition, we can arrange an interview or even broadcast live from your business.

If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, just give us a call at

715-424-1300.

And speak with Pam.

So put you in touch with Ashley to work out all the details.

That number again is 715-424-1300.

And with that, we'll close the kitchen.

Yeah.

Very nice.

Very informative.

Nice work, Beth.

Nice work.

We'll be looking forward to another edition next Monday at 9 o'clock.

We'll meet you here.

We'll take a time out.

We'll come back a more fun on the morning show.

Tell me something good.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Have Melissa, Seth, and James with you, and we're going to go ahead and have some fun

right now with our good friend Tom Heizer.

Every month, right at the beginning of the month, Tom joins us with our monthly veterans

update.

Melissa, Tom, does have his headphones on so we can hear you.

Excellent.

Tom, appreciate you joining us.

Thanks for being here, man.

Well, thank you very much for inviting me again.

Always appreciate the time.

Tom, before we kind of go down the list here of items and events and everything, I wanted

to start with our Milwaukee Brewers.

Yes.

Something I got the other day, it says the Milwaukee Brewers are pleased to announce the

continuation of military Sundays for the 2025 season.

And he actually do remember our veteran can receive up to two free terrorist level tickets.

Keyword free.

By just going to their military veteran ID at the Tickets Office prior to a Sunday's

game.

And I noticed one of the games, James, you might be happy or you might be sad.

Cubs.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

That should be good.

That should be a good one.

Yeah, that's May 4th.

Is it?

Oh, and it's May 4th.

Yeah.

Nice.

And I'll leave the information here for you because there is a website.

People can go to and sign up for this and go from there.

Just tickets, please.

There's a GOVX discount offer slash Milwaukee Brewers.

Yeah.

Okay.

I saw it on the brewer website.

If you go there, you should be able to find it, everybody, a big tip of the baseball

cap to our Milwaukee Brewers doing things like this.

One of you is this as well as an exact chance to shout out our Wisconsin Rapids rafters

as well, a military Mondays, a big thing at a whole chunk gaming casino.

And of course, the rafters are combining on that one and looking out for our military

and our vets.

Exactly.

We really appreciate it, uh, finally, but yes, some of the other teams, well, they played

the Reds yesterday, Oakland A's, Cubs, Twins, Padres, Cardinals are in June, Rockies, Nationals,

Marlins, Metz, Giants, and again, the Cardinals, and the Reds, so some good matchups there.

Yeah.

Really nice, nice of them to do this, but also, I think fitting, important for them to

do this.

That's great.

Tom, I know that we have a number of different events going on in our area, and certain

things, some days that we want to highlight as well, historically.

Correct.

First of all, I want to say thank you to everybody that came to the Broad Fry.

We call it the Taste of Spring.

Nice.

So at least that we had one part of spring.

Yeah.

Was really interesting.

It was funerals, and we had to go back to the Broad Fry, so we're staying busy.

April 6th was Army Day, when we entered World War I.

If you haven't done any homework on that one, everybody, I encourage you to.

It's integral to the story of our country.

I don't know how much more I could board it, it's so important, I encourage you to learn

about it.

Right.

And the monthly breakfast this morning, and tomorrow we have the Vets Coffee Club up

on Auburndale, and that runs from 8 until 915, and then right after that, the students

are doing the interviews of veterans.

Very cool.

That's awesome.

It is.

It's really cool.

Good on them for doing that.

And then on the 9th, former POW recognition day, it's an important one, exactly.

Especially, I had a student the other day ask me, am I teaching, ask me what POW meant?

We spent a good 20 minutes on that one.

And not just describing what that is, but what it means and what the intent of it is.

We need to start, I think we need to start re-bring in this one up again more.

And maybe even just saying prisoners of war instead of POW, because I feel like POW was

something that was created to make it easier for a society to chew on, and it's a little

bit easier to say that the prisoner of war.

No, maybe we need to go back to the actual saying of this, to remind people how important

that is.

And many communities in Wisconsin did have World War II POWs, a lot of Germans.

Yeah.

That's true.

A lot of them stayed.

So even in local history, this is not just something where it's great point to far

away land.

It was here.

Yeah.

Okay.

Then we got the hero's cafe on Wednesday, coffee donuts and a lot of discussion.

Can you use that word?

Nicely done.

Nicely.

No, no, no.

Wednesday, the ninth American Legion has their meeting.

And on the 10th of, now veterans have their meeting at 5 on also on the 10th Rudolph

American Legion has their meeting.

Okay.

Here we go.

Close history.

Desert Storm, ceasefire, 1981, April 11th.

Wow.

Can you remember that?

Yeah.

Can you remember that when it was?

Yeah.

I remember being told in school when that happened, yeah.

And then we have on April 11th, Civil War began in 1861, April, you know, pretty busy

month.

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

And on the April 14th, if you get the chance, we have the honor flight number 50, returning

to central Wisconsin airport.

Yeah.

That is so cool.

Yes.

Yeah.

You see the tears?

You get a chance to weigh people on or to welcome them back or any of the above, especially

if you have any chance to volunteer or be a part of things, encourage you to do that

as well.

Exactly.

Even just showing up for that, it's really cool seeing family and friends and over in

hooting and hollering and recognition.

Beautiful.

Right.

On the 17th, VFW post has our meeting.

And on the 22nd, it's Veterans Day down at the Capitol.

There is a bus going down near central Wisconsin.

I know it's late for you, but it's like 730 in the morning and plumber.

You will order enough for a couple of hours.

Right.

That's good to know.

As we get closer to, make sure to talk about that, mention that to people.

Right.

And if I get some more information, I'll send it to you.

Thanks.

We're meeting at plover for people in the central Wisconsin area.

Okay.

Heroes Cafe is on the 23rd.

Okay.

Spanish American War began on the 26th of April and that was in 1898.

You don't remember that one.

And on May 2nd, the VFW was having our university blood drive for the community.

So we're getting back into that program as well.

And then on May 2nd, the women's overseas league began in 1921.

Wow.

Yeah.

So.

And here we go, another taste of spring.

Yes.

On May 3rd, a VFW brought Friday and West Grand.

Ooh.

On the 5th.

On May 5th.

And we're having a Cinco de Mayo luncheon out of the VFW post on Monday, May 5th.

Nice.

Getting a little bit into May, but yeah.

Time frames are getting more stuff going on.

Oh, excellent.

Yeah.

We're better term.

Ramp it up.

And that brought fries right around the corner.

We're looking forward to that.

You hit it on the heads.

Taste us.

I sign of spring.

Yes.

And so many of these events, as we get closer to them, we'll remind our audience, tell

you more about them and certainly be looking forward to another opportunity to hang out

again next month.

Tom.

Appreciate it.

Not only for the audience out here, they hear you once a month on the air, but we talked

to Tom once a week, at least.

Tom's always hitting us up with information regarding our veterans.

And nobody in central Wisconsin is covering this topic as much or as well as we are in

major part because of the work Tom's doing.

We appreciate you, man.

Well, we appreciate what you're doing for us.

You're getting the word out.

Things are going on.

And they're fun things too.

Right.

Yeah.

But as far as this history stuff, there's no test.

Oh.

I wish we had told me that over the week.

And I was taking all these notes all weekend.

I've been studying.

But Chris, we appreciate you, Tom.

Thanks a lot for the time.

If there is anybody out there that has follow up questions or anything like that, Tom,

how can they reach you?

Okay.

You can call the BFW post 715-6-00-0401 and Sean will gladly help answer any questions.

They're leading the right direction.

All right.

Say hi to everybody for us.

Tom, we'll talk again real soon.

You got it.

We'll be back more midday magazine.

I don't know what's going to do that.

I was thinking about it interview later.

We'll be back with more playmaker.

No.

What was it?

Morning show.

Thank you, everybody.

Ryan.

Morning show.

I'm WFHR.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR.

Locally grown radio.

Melissa, Seth, and James hanging out with you.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Want to send a big shout out to Beth with the kitchen's open and the great work she did

there.

And Tom Heiser with her monthly veterans update.

It was a fun Monday when those two are on the studio.

Lots of great stuff.

It's great info.

Yeah.

Appreciate them.

Just a touch on entertainment news real quick today, everybody.

I will move on to other topics.

But I did want to mention this one.

It was a good life indeed.

This comes to us from People magazine.

The cast of Mr. Belvedere, including Tracy Wells, Bryce Breckham, Eileen Graf and Rob

Stone, met at the airport and flew it together to Milwaukee recently to celebrate the late

Bob Euker.

Oh.

Beautiful.

Actor, sports announcer, uh, uh, to something batting average, uh, that, uh, the Euker

line.

Of course.

Yeah.

He would, he would love.

They, uh, was honored in a private invitation, only celebration of life hosted by the

Milwaukee Brewers for whom he famously worked.

Euker died in January of 2025 at the age of 90.

Kovd shared a photo of her castmates to her Instagram with the caption, the Owens family

goes to Milwaukee.

The day prior, she shared a photo of Euker with the caption flying to Milwaukee tomorrow

with my Belvedere family to celebrate this great human being.

Yeah.

Um, for those that may not have heard or known or anything like that, the cast stayed

in touch throughout the years.

Um, and of course, I've lost a number of members, uh, over the years and everything.

But it, it wasn't, uh, I don't think it, you know, the most groundbreaking show, obviously

a show that means a little bit more here in this state because of the connection to Euker.

Right.

And I think it's been kept around for a while because of that.

But I don't know in pop culture wise, how popular the show was or anything like that.

But, um, it was important to them and it meant something to them.

And I think that it's something that's very relatable to the three of us and to anybody

out there who's been a part of a play.

It's not that different with TV shows.

I still, I, even a show that never even hit the airwaves like the one I was on, I still

talk to cast members and check in and they're doing and everything.

Um, you, you become in theater, you get to spend two, three months together.

And if you're lucky, you become a family and those are relationships to stick around.

I remember watching Mr. Belvedere quite a bit when I was a kid and it was one of our regular

things and I knew, you know, who Bob Euker was, but I never really thought about, you

know, I'm watching Bob Euker.

I just, you know, he was his character and he actually did a good job.

He was a pretty good actor, Mr. Euker.

So got to give him credit.

Um, I, I think the thing that stood out to him about what's interesting to me a him is he

didn't seem like he was acting and at the same time, he was doing a masterful job at acting.

Yes, like, you know, it's really well done.

You could see it, do it in those like the light beer commercials that he first started

doing. It was, it was so natural and, and yeah, the man was a natural at everything he

did, except maybe baseball, like, that's the thing that you got to start in, right?

God bless me.

That's a great legend.

Also really cool to see Tracy Wells.

I like her.

Yeah.

I thought that was cool that she did that.

That was awesome.

Uh, have you ever gone to pull open a kitchen drawer only to realize that the potato

master is fighting it hard from inside and you can't open the drawer the complete

way, you know, I cannot tell you how many times I've done that so much, so much.

Uh, of course you, you know, you have, we all

have, but we never talk about it.

There's no word, there's no words for it in English and language necessarily.

Uh, there is a new relatable list of random things that everyone has experienced, but

never talks about.

Uh, and here are some of the highlights.

Uh, and we want yours.

Uh, audience submissions are always encouraged.

Please, please, um, feel free to reach out to us through the civic media app or

however you'd like to get in touch with us here.

DM direct messing us all that.

So here's the list and not in any particular order.

When you're in the backseat of a car that makes a sharp turn and you push your

fingers into the seat in front of you to keep yourself from falling over.

Yes.

It's been a while since I've ridden in the back of a car.

Well, let's go for it now.

And I'll deliberately drive crazy.

Yeah, great, great.

That sounds like fun.

When you're trying, when you're, uh, lying in bed and you have to go, uh, you're

both too tired to get out of bed to go to the bathroom.

And your bladder is too full to fall back and sleep.

Yep.

I hate that.

I know, uh, worst, uh, and there's no name for this.

I, I feel like part of what we need to be doing about with this.

Coming up with words.

Yeah, yeah, for this terminology for those of you who out there who remember the

books, uh, Sniglets from the 1980s, words that weren't, that should, that weren't in

the dictionary, but should be.

Yeah, definitely.

I don't know that I ever saw it.

Oh, yeah, those were fun.

I, I, I heard about it, I never saw it, but I heard about that.

Uh, when you decide you don't need to take a list for a grocery run, but you get there

and just wander around while trying to figure out what was on there.

You know, that, okay.

Okay, how about the word for when you forgot your grocery list, but you managed to get

everything on it when you got home and looked at it and was like, yes, that's called

winning.

That's called I've never done that because every time I try to do my memory, I fail.

Okay, that might be fair.

My list only had like six things on it.

Still, I've had four things and I forgot.

It's terrible.

When you, when you briefly talked with someone at a party back in 2009 and you've been

Facebook friends ever since, yeah, yeah, that's funny.

Uh, whenever you think you have the perfect spot around a campfire, but the smoke keeps

zoning in on you because the smoke will always find you specifically you every campfire.

I've ever been.

I've been a lot of campfires and it just seems like a smoke, just like certain people,

I guess my brother makes fun of me for this.

Uh, he's something you're like, yeah, real quick.

Okay.

So do you have the phrase that you're supposed to say to make it go to a rabbit?

Well, see, I hate rabbits is the one that I grew up with in scouts.

I hate rabbits.

And then it would do, you know, we're supposed to shift, right?

So I've never heard of any really all of us.

I've never heard many variations on that.

That's what I was asking.

So, yeah, but rabbit always seems to be involved in it.

It does in some way, shape, or I don't know.

Rabbits and that have the, I mean, hating rabbits.

Who hates rabbits?

I mean, we never said it that way.

It was always rabbit rabbit.

That's the way we do it.

Interesting.

When you walk into a room, but forget what you went in there for and you just don't,

and you just stand there frozen like a video that's buffering.

We've actually talked about the science.

We have.

Yeah, remember that going through a doorway.

So the way to fix it is go back and to the other room.

Yeah, that does tend to work and not always, but it tends to work pretty good.

Yeah, yeah.

And you're right, not always, but it does work for me more times or not.

Just standing there does nothing.

That will not help you at all.

Yes, like a thing or the gray circle of depression, I don't know.

When you're too tired to pay attention to measurements or time and later realize

you've just made about 15 servings of the worst pasta you've ever had.

Oh, just be careful.

Um, I know I do this from time to time and boy, it drives me crazy.

Uh, I will make toast or bagels or something like that.

And then I'll, oh, well, it's, it's got a couple of minutes.

It's got a minute or whatever.

I can go and do this while I'm doing that.

And then I come back and then you forget.

Yeah, and I will eat that burnt toast because I refused to waste it.

I'm not going to waste it if somebody else had burnt and it might be different.

But for if I do it, I, oh, mate, I'm definitely, I need more carbon in my diet.

So I would eat this charcoal is good.

Yeah, right.

Little grizzle access.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, a little grizzle.

When you swallow some water, weird, and it creates that really bad chest pain.

A few minutes.

I like that.

It's one of the worst things.

Man, I can stand or you don't choose something enough.

And it like scrapes all the way down pain, pain, pain.

Yeah, I mean, we could go on.

When you spend an entire day in waiting mode, because you have an appointment at two o'clock.

Yes, yes, or how about at the very least from noon to two, whatever else you're doing,

it's in your head.

Yes, and it's like, well, I got to, I can't do this because I got to leave, you know,

I'm in, you know, on this, and you end up just not doing anything.

You can't start because you won't be able to.

Yeah, you're just sitting there waiting.

You can't do anything.

Just what's it called?

Some of the, it's like action paralysis or something like that.

Okay, yeah, I think you're right.

I'm noticing too, as we're talking about this, we're creating a whole other list or

we are listening to add to the list.

When you're calling someone and you hope that they don't pick up,

just so the mist call can show up and it looks like you tried to reach up.

Don't know.

Yep.

More than once.

Oh my gosh.

I think that's one.

I think everyone has done that.

I think very, very clearly it doesn't count if you hang up when the other person

immediately picks up.

Well, I try to get a hold of you.

I know, and I answered the, but I just, I don't know what happened, you know?

I, I, I, I'm talking to a gentleman about my vehicle and we, we tend to place phone

tag a lot in this happened on Friday where I'm waiting and waiting.

I just assumed that I'm going to have to leave a voice message and his voice

mail is always full.

So I was just about to hang up and it was him.

So I actually hung up on him and I had to call him right back, but he was trying

to call me back.

Oh, yes, just, yeah, that's happened before.

Yep.

When, uh, when you dismantle a pen, only to put it back together again.

Oh, no.

And wrong.

I always do it wrong.

It never works again.

I don't know.

Have we all done that?

We've all said you're bored in class.

We haven't you ever taken the, the, when pens had the springs in them and you take it

apart and you reassemble it so that it can, you can like shoot the, the pen insert

out of it.

Yeah.

I did that a little catapult and then it didn't work anymore.

And I was up without a pen.

So yeah, yes, smart job there, man.

When you pass, when you stare at a bad driver as you pass them to see if they are as bad

as they seem they are.

Sadly, sadly, I don't do that if I'm driving, but if I'm, if we're at a stop sign or

something like that or something, I might, I mean, I don't know about that, but it's not

that I, you know, I just want to, I don't know why it doesn't make, I mean,

does it make any difference for anything?

You just want to see what they look like?

See what this jerk look like, you know, I don't know that anybody can really see that

well into a vehicle.

No, it's hard.

Oh, yeah, it didn't necessarily, so I split second and that's it.

I mean, yeah, so this whole list is at Buzzfeed.com.

If you want to find the complete list, shout out to Buzzfeed.

Now this, I hopefully, hopefully everybody had fun with this one.

You even made me had some that you were yelling at your radio that, hey, you forgot

this or something like that.

But as always, I of course can't do anything without a, a meaning behind it or anything.

And as we are talking, or earlier, you heard us talking about our station and what

our, our mission area is and what we do around here.

One of those things is showing how we are closer, we are more like than not.

Right.
