Hey waters here from the waters wakeup call.
Hope you have it a great weekend Friday morning We were sharing some life hacks just to make life a little easier
when you're trying to start a fire in the woods rather damp take a couple pieces of candy Wax, you know they come into us
rectangular package and sure you put that on top of the wood put a little paper underneath when that melts it comes down and it allows the wood to catch on fire and you can basically get damp wood to burn Wow really handy if you're camping
all you have to do is put a candle above the wood and let the wax drip down yeah what why why do you think that is is it just the heat from above is drying the wood out
well the perfume saturates the wood so it allows it to burn
now see that
I guess that, as you are phenomenal hacks.
Well, thank you for that,
sir.
Hi, this is Sherry from Maynard.
Hi,
Sherry from Maynard.
How are you?
I'm green.
I got a green hack for you, too.
Awesome.
I didn't know about
it.
OK.
On her tinfoil roll, the box at both ends is the little thing that you could poke in that keeps the roll inside the box.
Yeah, you know, when I found that out, that was like, oh my god, because you know the problem with
that, if
you don't find those, the roll just comes out of the box and then it goes on the floor and the whole thing unrolls with, you know, you have part of it in your hands and it
becomes this whole thing.
But that
is a great thing to know.
Yeah,
I think the cling wrap is the worst for that because that stuff is really hard to rip.
Even with that, even with that sharp edge.
on the box.
I know.
Hi, Mike.
How's it going?
Good.
How are you doing?
Good.
Hey, uh, the can opener thing, you know, the hand can opener.
Yep.
My aunt and uncle who were between 75 and 80 were over for Thanksgiving and, uh, I was opening the can and I said, well, you know, I'll just open it sideways and they're like, what?
You can, you can do what?
Instead of putting it vertically on the can, you put it horizontally and it takes
the whole top off and it's easier to clean the can out.
Okay, so you lay it down on its side and open
it?
Yeah, you lay the can opener down on its side.
Okay.
So the little part that you flip, you know, you roll instead of it being on the side of the can, it's on the top of the can.
Oh.
It takes the whole top off so there's no lift and everything comes out of the can cleaner.
The can opener is horizontal and the can is vertical, right?
Yes.
Okay.
I'll have to try that.
I've never tried that in my
my life.
Yeah, well, I was kind of surprised with my aunt and uncle were both sitting there, and they're like, they didn't know it, and they're in their 70s.
I guess I didn't realize it was such a secret.
Yeah, I had no idea.
You know, there are a lot of those kinds of things that are supposed to be, and that's what they're actually made for.
But
for some
reason, they didn't tell anybody that's what it was for.
Like
the little hole in the
tab of the can, when you open it, that little hole is for a straw.
Like if you want a straw, you can bend it forward and put a straw.
Yeah.
Stupid things like that.
They don't come with instructions, so.
Right.
Yeah, they don't tell anybody.
But once you find out, it's like, oh, that's cool.
Sure.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, there's a way to open a can that I've never known.
I'm going to blow my wife's mind with that when
I get home.
There you go.
Alright,
thanks.
Thanks for the new information.
Happy Friday.
And Friday morning in the middle of the life hacks, I talked about Cocaine Bear because it's such a crazy movie and it opened this weekend that I had to talk about it a little bit and it's based on a drug kingpin, this Cocaine Bear and I was trying to figure out what the name of this guy was and thank goodness you're always there to help.
Hey, you were thinking of
Pablo Escobar.
Pablo Escobar?
I was thinking
of him.
Yes, I
was.
Apparently this is what the creators of Cocaine Bear were thinking of.
They were thinking of Pablo Escobar.
Pablo Escobar.
Which he will now be called Forevermore.
It didn't even pop in as Pablo Escobar.
Pablo Escobar
was the inspiration for cocaine bear.
It makes sense.
You just woke up and the first thing you think of is, you know, those two things and you put them together and you set it out your mouth and I thought it was pretty
perfect.
Yeah!
I like a good drifting
mind.
Yeah, I know you do.
A drifting mind is a terrible thing to waste.
It is.
So you got the best thinking you're gonna do right here at the beginning of the day.
Well, I'm done for the day now, so I should just go back to bed.
You
should, you should.
You did more in the, I don't know how long you've been on, maybe what, 10, 15 minutes?
Okay, you've done more in that half an hour than most of us do all day Go
back to sleep man.
I can never go back to bed
And thanks for that.
All right, back to the life hacks.
Good morning, Mike.
Well, good morning there, Iron Man.
What's happening today, my friend?
I know I'm staying in the house.
It's warm.
I would suggest you do that and then save your outdoor time for tomorrow and Sunday.
Yeah,
I'm going to my son's house for a cookout this weekend.
Oh, I'm a tad jealous.
It's his birthday yesterday.
Oh, well, ask him if he got the card I sent him.
I already tell you, don't believe me.
All right, so
what do you got?
Well, when I work in and get a sliver in my hand, I use duct tape, of course, sliver out my hand.
Really?
So you've got to, like say, you've got a sliver on your palm and you just put a piece of duct tape right over the splinter and then you lift the tape and it lifts the splinter out?
Yep.
Pretty easily?
Yep, it's just kind of duct tape kind of fits on the...
Well,
God darn it.
You know what?
I've never heard that.
Now I want to get a sliver so I can find out if that works.
You know, all you need to survive in the wild is a gun and maybe a knife and a roll of duct tape.
And that's it.
You're set.
That's right.
That's right.
It's the multi-purpose tool of all tools.
Yeah, duct tape will get you out of sticky situations and
WD 40 will get you out of slippery situations.
Day mornings, 5 30 to
10.
