If you're wondering, I always like to tell people at the start you're saying, hey, where are these answers coming from?
If you go to our show today, you can learn all about how to sign up and share your ideas with us.
And you know, you can turn your phone or computer into a remote control.
And yeah, that' where the ideas are coming from.
So we're glad you're here, because we really need you and your ideas to get the show going.
All right.
So we usually start the sho by asking a couple of questions.
You know, get to know one another.
The first question we asked everybody today was, have you broken a bone ever?
No no no no, I haven't even out.
I guess you're pretty lucky that way.
I know some people I had my friend Tommy was in a cast on.
So.
So, Tommy, what happened to your arm?
Fell out of a tree.
I think I've got flexible bones.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
All right, the other question we ask you is, what meal do you like best?
Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Right.
You got a favorite.
I like them all, but I think I go with brunch.
Is that an option?
It's not an option, but.
So.
So you're saying somewhere between breakfast and lunch?
Yeah.
I would go breakfast all day, every day.
I could eat breakfast, have a breakfast.
Well, let's see wha everybody said.
Are you ready?
This is our our show today, viewers.
Fun fact.
All right, so here's what we we asked everybody.
We did the research.
50% of viewers who have not broken a bone say tha dinner is their favorite meal.
Well, no.
Yeah.
50%.
That's a lot.
That's half.
I don't know if that's a lot.
That's half.
Half that is happening.
You've got two other meals that are split in the other half, though.
Oh that's true.
I guess that's a lot.
It's all the weight.
It went down to 40%.
Oh, no.
We better get to what's in the game.
I talked up breakfast too much.
All right.
Yeah.
Let's play.
What's in a name?
Yeah.
Got this one.
Yes, indeed.
This is the name Rosemary Montebello.
How many words can you mak using the letters in this name?

Okay so you got to go quickly after.
I guess not quickly, but just take a look.
Lemon says red elephant.
Yep.
There's a little allium to mouse found rose.

Team.
Team, are you on?
What's your favorite team, lad?
You know, once my grandpa said to me.
Listen, lad, I gotta tell you a story about the time.
Oh, Torrey, I gotta have to do a little research to learn what that would means.
What?
Good job.
It's always tally.
You gotta do a tally, mark.
I got it now.
Two checks for me for figuring that out till deer says same.
And the man.
The words are coming in really fast, which is good.
That means you find lots of words.
I do.
I think there's a lot I need you.
I do.
And then one of the things I like to do is to go to Rome and bio down.
Thanks to your dear.
And I think I'll leave on Monday.
Wait.
This is turning into a story.
That'd be pretty amazing.
I smell something delicious.
Is that breakfast?
Red monkey says Ram and Rose.
Yeah.
Like to use my nose to smell everything.
So I want to tell you a story about the time.
Miss Montalbano, who's actually my first grade teacher from over the second grade.
I forget, but this was a lovely story about a time.
Oh, man.

Hey, how's it going?
It's going for good.
I don't know about you, but I'm, like, intrigued.
I want to hear the rest of this story now.
About the teacher.
Well, hopefull he'll have some time to tell us.

Ray's always thinkin it's smart, because now you have to tune in next wee to get the rest of that story.
Oh, there you go.
All right.
So we're ready.
We're ready to play.
Crack the code.
I hope that you are.
Here's how we play the game.
Story is going to ask me some questions today about a shoe.
Bless you.

However we are not talking about a shoe.
You have to crack the code.
And guess what we're really talking about.
All right, so story.
Are you ready?
I'm so ready.
All right, here we go.
All right, so I'm going to ask some questions.

Guess it's you again, a gorilla, you gorilla.
Definitely can not fit in a shoe box.
No, that's a little too big.
Oh, a falcon.
Oh, maybe a little baby.
Felt.
That would be pretty fun.
Do shoes come in different sizes?
Yes, they do come in different sizes, but regardless of the size they should fit in a shoe box.
Do people wear shoes?
I've seen people wear shoe costumes, but you could.
You could not wear a shoo shoo costumes.

I know you can only use a shoe once.
Only once?

Actually, usually come in a bunch.
A bunch of shoes that can fit in a shoe box that people buy.
And you can eat.
Yes.
Are they usually yellow?
Yes.
They can also be green or brown.
But ideally, I think when people use them, they are yellow.
What could that be?
Something you can eat?
That's yellow.

East.
North?
Yeah, I think they think so.
Northeast.
Northeast.
Yeah.
Why do they say north first?
Usually.

Why does north always get th top billing there in that one?
We're gonna have to talk to somebody about that.
That's that for choose already.
All right so here's how we play this game.
You need to choose a door right now.
Door number one.
Door number two.

Oh.
Hey, Finn, are you afraid of anything?
Sure.
Everybody's afraid of something.
Really?
Because I'm afraid of the dark.
Like at night, after my mom tucks me in and turns off the light.
There's all these weird shadows in my room.
Do you ever think there's something in your room?
Yeah, but my mom showed me there isn't.
Sometimes if I'm really scared, she'll sit with me and we'll figure out what makes all the shadows.
Like, if there's a shadow that looks like a scary tree, we realize it's jus the toys on the top of my shelf.
Sometimes I think I hear things, but my uncle helps me figure out what the sound really is.
Like a furnace or a car driving by, right?
Right.
It's nice to kno that you're afraid of the dark.
Two Findlay.
Lots of people are.
It's called nick phobia.
Nick them a warrior.
What else is there?
There's xenophobia.
Sign of phobia.
Corona phobia.

Ribbit, ribbit.
Don't be scared.

And that was your dog sound I misunderstood.
I know, I like this one.
Red elephant says coat rack.
Don't be scared.
That's just a coat rack.
Yeah, I've had that before, that mix up.
And if I had a dolla for every time I heard that one.
Woo!
I'd be really good.
All right.
Well, thanks.
That was really awesome.
Hey.
Speaking of awesome.
Speaking of awesome.
This wasn't just a cat.
No.
Now that I would make, I would have to run.
Yeah.
That can't be frightening for sure.
It's time for us.
I made it.
Oh, leader.
Okay, here's how we play this game.
We asked you on a scale of 0 to 10, with zero being not awesom and ten being totally awesome.
How awesome I washing machines.
What do you think?
This is an interesting one.
What is the metric of measure here that we're trying to figure out?
Is it like the effectiveness of how clean the clothes cat?
Is it the sound metric?
The only metric is how awesome our washing machines.
They're pretty awesome I think is, you know, they clean your clothes.
This is based on the efficiency.
Do you have a washing machine in your spaceship, Ray?
Yeah.
Okay.
And are you happy to have it?
Yeah.
Well.
It's hot.
Don' you think that's pretty awesome?
Yeah, I guess in regards.
I don't have a washing machine in my tree.
I wish I did.
That would be awesome.
The other day, I spilled some sirup on my my uniform.
Yes.
Yeah, in the washing machine.
It was pretty awesome.
First I scrubbed it a little and then washed it up and.
Yeah, well, that sounds awesome to me.
Let' see what everybody else thought.
07A7 on the awesome meter.
Were you expecting more?
Well, I kind of was, but maybe it's because I don't have a washing machine, right?
If I maybe if I had one, I'd be like, oh, yes.
Washing machine.
That's a seven.
Yeah, but not having one.
I' thinking like washing machine.
That would be fantastic.
I'm going to give it a nine out of ten.
Hey look, it's interesting as it is t hear about your washing machine.
I think we should move on to film.
I'm sorry.
That was.
I should have been.
I should have been more respectful in how I tell the.
Fine, I get it or not enough.
Talk about washing machines.
Let's move on to something more exciting.
