I've 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.240 got twins. Yeah, yeah, you do have twins. I'm married 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:25.760 to a twin. 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.280 Wow, we're all kind of twin people. Yeah, we should 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.640 buy a lottery ticket obviously. Uh. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:38.439 It's National Bargain Hunting Week and Hobo Week and kool 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.680 a days week. None of those really appealed to me 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:43.480 all that much. 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.720 Hobo is a term that you don't really hear anymore. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.200 I don't know, I don't I think you should be careful. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.840 You just get lumped in with you might get might 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.679 get kick off the radio for you. But that was 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.360 speaking of romance. That was kind of a romantic image, 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.319 the hobo along the railroad tracks, sitting there with a 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.600 tin kettle with coffee and. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.640 The stick with a knapsack on the back of it. 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:12.480 Exactly telling stories of immense wisdom even though they were hoboes. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.400 Apparently I had an uncle that used to jump on 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.080 trains and a great great uncle and he would ride 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:19.280 all over the country and. 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:24.160 Yeah, fun to try one time, you know, to see 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.640 where you land. I'd probably wind up, you know, on 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.040 you know, some train that goes to a coal mine 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:30.560 or something. 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.800 But don't do it over the plant trial days. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:40.840 He said, all right, finally to today, Saturday, August eighth, 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:45.520 it's National Happiness Day. So it's Happiness month and Happiness Day, 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.040 pickleball day. You guys started pickleball? 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:49.480 You do? 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.360 Yeah, what's the appeal to that? I've never really asked anybody. 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.840 Why it's caught on so. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.240 Well, I don't know why it's so big. But for me, 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.880 anything moving the body and moving your feet is good 0:14:59.920 --> 0:15:03.960 for the brain. That for great for camaraderie, meeting people. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.600 If you're just in a place in your life where 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.560 you're looking to establish new relationships, I think it's a 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:10.000 great way. 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.640 Because you've run out of all your old friends. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.880 You Well, that happens often to me. I got to 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.320 start new every five years. Yeah. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.440 Sneak some zucchini into your neighbor's porch day. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.960 That doesn't sound like sounds like you get good shot. 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:27.880 You could get into trouble. 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:29.600 Yeah, you could a good shot. 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:30.000 Uh. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.840 You know, there's your body lying next to a couple 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.400 of zucchinis. You know, not a pretty image. It tells 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.400 a story. Yeah, it's not a good story. Though. It's 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.400 national What a Burger Day. We don't have those here 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.480 in Cincinnati. I know they're more out west. 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:47.880 I believe never had one. 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.840 Yeah, I mean neither National Dollar Day commemorates the date 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.320 that Congress unanimously chose the dollar as the official unit 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.920 for American money. Can you guys remember in your lifetime 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.960 at this point when the last time Congress voted unanimously 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:06.480 for anything. 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:07.840 I didn't know that was possible. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:12.320 I didn't either. I thought somebody had to raise hell 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:17.880 and you know Abstein or you know it just but 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.560 it's good. It's good that it happened at least one time. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.520 Moki Day that is apparently a sweet, chewy Japanese rice cake. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.720 Huh frozen Custer Day, Now, that's something I know and love. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:35.520 Global Sleep under the Stars night, good for hoboes good. Yeah. 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.440 And CBD Day, So CBD, as we know. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.800 Cures everything, everything everything. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:47.000 Tomorrow Sunday, August ninth, Book Lover's Day, Spirit of forty 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:52.400 five Day, which honors our Greatest Generation, VEEP Day, which 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.680 recognizes the day Vice President Gerald Ford took office when 0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:02.360 Nixon resigned, and celebrates the US Presidential Success Plan. Something 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.040 to be very proud of in this country is that 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.399 we can have leaders change over peacefully. 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:08.720 Absolutely. 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:13.399 Yea passion fruit Day and Rice Pudding Day. Rice pudding 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:15.600 is like my favorite thing in the world. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.080 That's a little horticulture passion fruit. Yes, you work horticulture 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.320 in do you like those plants? They're a little invasive, But. 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:24.720 Steve, this is yours. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:25.679 Rice pudding. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:33.440 No great reflection. Yeah, what are you thinking of passion 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.240 fruit vine right now? 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:36.160 Oh? 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.000 If you saw one of our gardens, you'd you'd question 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.480 whether you ever want a plant? Passion vine? 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.760 But what is it about? One hundred feet of fence 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.360 line ate up and every shrub and tree along. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:49.800 With it, and we only put in one? 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:50.880 Is that right? 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:55.399 I was wondering the flowers, the prettiest flowers they are. Yeah, 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:56.639 it's edible. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:58.920 And the kids this time of year that come back 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.639 to school, you see the flower and the fruit, So 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.480 it's it's worth the pain. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.960 But maybe not if you if you put it in 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:08.800 a container, will it spread. 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.320 As long as that containers not in the ground. H Yeah, 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.600 it'll it'll, it'll pop up. 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.680 Someone was mentioning that they thought some of that along 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.879 that vine or that fence line started from seed, because 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.399 there's variation in the leaves and the flowers a little bit. 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:31.000 It's possible. Yeah, yeah, it's you know, it's like, what 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.000 am I thinking? Pipe vine? If you've got a place 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:36.960 like on a tree line or out in the back 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.280 forty where you can put that in and let it 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.320 be what it wants to be, it's a great plant. 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.080 If you're trying to put it in your little garden. Yeah, 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:46.680 good life. 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.560 I think you got to have a good, good container 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.760 program if you're going to consider it for sure and 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.000 pull the fruit that way. You know. Yeah, I didn't. 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.640 I didn't know the fruit would actually seed though. That's interesting. 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.640 Yeah, it's supposedly it'll, but I've never caught it at 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.199 exactly the right time because it turns into like a 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:05.879 dry husk really fast. 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.200 I've eaten it. It's like a pomegranate kind of thing. Yeah, 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.119 to pick it apart, lots of seeds. 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.480 One of these years, I'll time it right.
