Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi there, it's Chris and Laurie. We host a morning
show for iHeartRadio just outside of Washington, d C. In
the beautiful Shenandoah Valley and you can listen every day
with our free iHeartRadio app just search shenando A Country
Q one zero two in Winchester, Virginia.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Every week, we see so many different insane stories as
we do our show every day, and we decided we
would share our three favorites with you in a podcast
every week.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
And this is definitely going to be fun. This is
the first episode, so thank you for joining us. So
I wanted to start LORI with this story. We had
about words that need to be banished in twenty twenty five.
So there is a college called Lake Superior State University
and every year since the seventies, they've been rolling out
a list of words that got overused during the year

(00:45):
that need to be gone done with in the new year.
So cringe. Oh yeah, your kids say cringe. They do,
all right, you've got middle schoolers and I'm about to
go to high school. Yeah, So they say it's just
it's overstated. It's welcome. Game changer is a phrase that
I have long thought needed to go, and they say
it does. It's just nothing's a game changer. If everything

(01:08):
is a game changer, is what they're saying. Another one
that they say needs to go is dropped, like that
song dropped, that album dropped.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Oh I'm guilty of that one.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, I use it too, movie trailer dropped. Yeah, it
is a phrase that's been used too much, I think.
And how about this one if you know you know, yeah,
somewhere over here, let me smack you and you'll know sorry,
not sorry. I was done with that the first time
I heard it. Name okay good. And then there are
a bunch more. But I think the one that you

(01:39):
probably wish would be on the list is definitely on
the list.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Please tell me it's skimmitty.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
It is, yes, skimmity, Yes, I remember. God was last
year at apple Blossom? Was it maybe the year before
we have this big festival called the Apple Blossom Festival.
You had your kids in tow and I said, did
you say.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Skibba who skivvity?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yes, And that's when it all started, and I was
I got a little schooling there I wish I never had. So. Anyway,
they say that it's just noise, that that word is
just noise. Now, let's let that go. Okay, let's go
to oh. I had a question for you. There are
there any words or phrases you feel got left out?

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yes, absolutely, along with skivity, riz can go oh and
also sigma Right, this middle school mom is done.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
All that language gotta go. If I could add a
word to the list, I think it would be manifest.
I'm going to manifest this right. I'm done with that
one too. Is there anyone that you are done with?
You can use the talk back feature on our free
iHeartRadio app and you can share it with us if
you want. Again. Chris and Loris show Shinto a Country

(02:45):
Q one O two. Okay, Lurie. So you remember we've
been talking here on our show for years now about
artificial intelligence coming in, robots joining the crowd and them
taking over all of the jobs, right, and that seems
to be a common fear across the country, and I
can understand it. I used to think, well, they can't
take over all the jobs, like what about a carpenter

(03:05):
or a bricklayer, for Pete's sake, But there are now
robot bricklayers. Heck, they've been around for a little while
now they built a giant building here in our hometown
of Winchester, Virginia, and so landscapers, now, I thought, come on, yes, landscapers,
there is a robot that might be coming for your job.
John Deere just debuted its new electric lawnmower that uses

(03:28):
radar and artificial intelligence and all those things, and they're
pretty upfront about it. They said, look, keeping qualified labor
is a challenge, and it's going to become more challenging
in the next couple of years. So for landscapers, they said,
we're putting this tool out for them to use. If
they lose all their guys off the job, they can
just buy a couple of these dudes and they'll do

(03:48):
all the landscaping for you. And it's kind of creepy
to watch it work. It really really is. So it's
commercial grade and it got me thinking, what job would
you never want a robot and a to do? There
are a lot of them.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Oh hairdresser, Oh no, thank you, But.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
It's just a robot with a flow bead, that's all.
What would you do? What if they got so good
that they really could give you You could show them
the picture and the AI and the robot and could
just go and it would be done like the Jetsons.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Right, yeah, I guess okay, maybe, I mean if there's
proof that it works in it, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I don't think we're anywhere even close to that though,
right right, I don't want to think about it. So
so I was thinking maybe a massage therapist would be
somebody I would never right, No, But anyway, so let's
see we've gotten another story. Oh, this is the one
I wanted to really get to, Laurie. I am looking
right now here. Help me pull my iPad up. So

(04:50):
if you want to see this a picture of this,
and you must, it's at Chris and Lori show dot com.
What I I'm looking at right now. We talked about
this morning. We laughed so hard I could not get
over it. So if you watch any of the like
The Antiques Road Show or The American Pickers, you discover

(05:11):
after watching very short period of time, that something is
worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. Right, So,
it might look like it's not worth anything to you,
and why would you want that? But there's somebody out
there who probably would pay a lot of money. And
so with that in mind, I'd like to introduce exhibit
number one up for auction right now, right now, it

(05:33):
is Elvis Presley's be dazzled jockstrap. Not just atrap bedazzle
and girl, somebody went to town with the bedazzler. This
was a gift that some fan gave him years and
years and years back. Right it is if you can
picture this solid jockstrap with rhinestones, and then in the

(05:58):
band and the elastic band that goes around on your body,
E and p in what looked like sapphires but their
rhinestones too. Oh, I so many questions about this. So
the deal is this? A fan gave it to him
back in the day. And I started to think to myself, gosh,
you know a lot of thought went into this. So

(06:20):
think about this. You're a fan, why did you choose
a jockstrap of all the things in the dazzle right
of everything you could have said to Elvis, Elvis, here,
I made this for you. I wanted you to wear it. Well,
that's super creepy to me. And then and then did
you do it as a joke? Were you serious? I'm

(06:42):
inclined to think they were serious.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
And then if they were serious. You know, they told
all their friends, Laurie, you know that they were saying like, oh,
I'm making this special for Elvis. Want to see it?
And then and then their friends would sam and said, so,
how is elvis jockstrap coming?

Speaker 3 (06:59):
My goodness?

Speaker 1 (07:00):
You know all these It's just there's a bunch of
questions to be answered. I don't have an answer for it.
But here here is the craziest thing. It hung in
Elvis Presley's museum in Memphis. He obviously loved it, so
he made a big effort to get it framed in
a shadow box that it has been described as beautiful,

(07:20):
and it's it's going up for auction. The starting bid
around forty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Do we know if he wore it?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
No? See that's the other thing too. We are not
sure if he wore it or not. We know we
had it, we know he framed it. I don't know
if he wore it. I don't know which is better
that he didn't or that maybe he did. What increases
the value and what else did this wackoed bedazzle If
she's going to do at home, I don't want that.
Let's not think about that. One, so forty five thousand dollars,

(07:53):
and that Elvis jockstrap could be yours.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
I'll pass.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
We could do it a crowdfunding and maybe get it
for this all right, gang. That is the three things
in the Crazy on our inaugural podcast. Hey, thank you
so much for listening. Again. We are Chris and Lori
and we would love it if you would listen to us.

Shenandoah Country Q one O two. Just open up the

(08:19):
