Speaker 1 (00:00):
We were talking with Vaught and came up yesterday that
you know that little on your gas gauge in your car,
there's an arrow that points to the side of the
car where your gas tank is. And Bon's like, seriously,
I never knew that? What did you never know? And
we're getting all kinds of text messages and you just
found this out recently, like you lived your entire life
and never knew X y Z Talkback's coming up in

(00:21):
a second, but right now I think it's Ashley on
the phone. Yeah, Hello, Ashley, Hi, how are you good?
What did you just learn?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well, it's my husband. He's thirty five years old and
he just learned that if you put outgoing mail in
the mailbox, the mailman will pick it up for you
and send it.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
How did he not know?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
No idea. He grew up in Minneapolis, so I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
So did he just grow up taking it to the
post office? Yep? Always, Oh that's wow, that's an I guess,
you know. I mean, I've never lived in the city
like you know, where you have like the mail sticking
on your front door whatever, you know what I mean,
or a male slot. I've never had that. But if
he grew up with that, then maybe he just never knew.
Does he know? You get to put that red flag
up too?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, we live in Saint Louis Park and ours is
attached to our home. Okay, they don't have the flag,
but the man will still pick it up.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Amazing, amazing. Thank you, Ashley. Have a good day. We
got a bunch of talkbacks. Let's play some with the
talkbacks on KATIEWB.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
What have we got here?

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Go? I just recently learned that when you have a
tupperware container, the lid will fit on the bottom of
the bowl of the tupperware, and it like locks in place,
so you kind of can keep them together. I just
learned that.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's amazing. It's amazing. Not all of them, but many
of them. I did a video on my reels about
that not too long ago. Let's do another one. Here's
another talkback.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
I always thought that if you see a house with
a chimney, they have a fireplace. But my old house
didn't have a fireplace, so I thought the chimney was
just a decoration. But chimneys aren't just decorations, and it
doesn't just mean that the house has a fireplace.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
That's at that's great.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Chimneys have a use.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh oh, so it's not just a decoration. Yeah, okay, okay,
that's cute. That is cute. Here's your keyword, by the way,
it's brat this hour, brat br at. So just get
on the talk back feature. People are using it more
and more. It's easy to use. Tap the red microphone
button and say the keyword is brat and you're in
the drawing, which we're giving Way tickets all the time
for Charlie XCX Saturday night at Target Center. More talkbacks,

(02:36):
let's do some more. What did you just what did
you just learn?

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Good morning. I just learned that that little plastic circle
on the edge of a vegetable peeler actually has a purpose,
and it's to take the eyes out of potatoes when.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
You're shut up. No, it's not you serious.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Oh my gosh, I didn't know that either.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
You were today years old.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
We've found out now, you know you know.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
That, Dave, hold on one second, I'm gonna go get.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
My potato, because you're right that.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I'm at the house in Colorado. I got one close by.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I mean, not all of them have that, but I know.

Speaker 7 (03:11):
The one that I used does have it, and I've
never thought anything of it. I just thought that was
how I was designed. Yeah, it's a take the what
did he said to eyes? Okay, potatoes?

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I had to look up a vegetable peeler because I
Alyssa does the vegetable peeling. Yes, almost all of these
have the little circle.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Looking one up right now too, like going to grab one.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
It's take my text right now five three to one.
Did anybody else know this?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
That's crazy?

Speaker 7 (03:35):
And while we're waiting for Dave to find his vegetable peeler,
let me tell you about the deals you can get
on holiday stations. If you need some energy today, go
get a Monster Energy drink because it's three for seven dollars.
Probably don't drink all three today, save them for the
rest of the week, but go hit up Holiday for
that deal.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I just looked. I do not have a potato peeler
with an eye hole in it, but it's got a scoop.
It's like triangular shape, so it's got a scoop. Seeing
scoop out had really no idea. Thank you very much
more talkbacks. What did you just learn not too long
ago that you should have known your whole life.

Speaker 8 (04:07):
So I recently learned that if the weather app says
twenty percent chance rain, it does not mean that it
is a twenty percent chance that.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
You will get rain.

Speaker 9 (04:18):
It means that twenty percent of the area is going
to get rain.

Speaker 8 (04:23):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
That's correct?

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Does yea? He confuses me because it sounds like the
same thing.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
So it means that.

Speaker 7 (04:31):
So, like you know, we we are in Saint Louis
Park here, So the Space Needle Studios, if it says
it's twenty percent chance of rain, that means that twenty
percent of our area.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
So the Space Needle Studios, it's going to get rain.
But then the Knowlewood Mall might not.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Not that area is not going to but it's for
sure going to get rain in this vicinity of Saint
Louis Park.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I found that out on this show. Yeah, we got
more of these. There's a lot of things that people
just learn. Let's do some text messages before we take
a break here, we'll come back and do some more
of these talkbacks. What do you got, baby, jair I got?

Speaker 10 (04:58):
I had no idea that they didn't melt the ice
at the Excel Center every time there was a concert,
they just cover it instead of melting and refreezing.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
That's a value. I didn't know that either, so I
thought that I thought they froze ice on the X
every time there was a game, and then thought it out.
But it's always underneath the boards.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Apparently it's underneath the boards there.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Shut up. I have no idea.

Speaker 10 (05:18):
Yeah, someone told me the metal on a seatbelt can
break your car window. Not sure if it's true, but
if it is, I learned it today. Let's see, it
took me thirty years to know what or that worst
case scenario wasn't one word. I always thought it was
worst case scenario.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Okay, that's funny. Here's when somebody said I thought euthanasia.
They were saying youth in Asia. Well I did too
until I was probably fifteen or twenty. I don't know.
It's like euthanasia. Why they keep talking about euth in Asia.

Speaker 10 (05:51):
That's when it really does bother me. Similarly, when people
say that like someone who can't hear is death and
they mean death with an F and they say it
like death like I've died, They're like, oh, yeah, that
person is death, and I'm like, you mean death?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh, I've never heard anyone say it like that. You
say death all the time.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
It's so well. Jenny said, glove department not too long
ago on the show was.

Speaker 7 (06:15):
A pretty long time ago. I'm surprised I still remember that.
Thanks for bringing out a hour ago.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
It was a year ago. She's like, yeah, I got
a map. I still have a map in my glove department.
And I'm like, what my glove department.

Speaker 7 (06:26):
I was talking about how I keep sauces in my
glove department, not a map.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah, And I'm like, you are thirty two years old
at the time. It is a glove compartment. Hot Not
Wisconsin is called the glove department. I'm like, shut it in.

Speaker 7 (06:39):
We do have Melissa on the phone, so we'll go
to you first, but then a lot of talkbacks as well.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Melissa, what's something that you learned recently?

Speaker 11 (06:47):
Good morning you guys. I love your show. Thanks for
having me on.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Oh, thank you.

Speaker 11 (06:51):
I learned, thank you. I'm pushing fifty, so I learned
this about four years ago. So the shower, you know,
the shower slash bathtub, how it's got like the little
divots on the side. It's not really enough room for
like a bar of soap or a razor, nor a
shampoo bottle, And I'm what are these even for? Is
it some ergo dynamics things? The waterfalls?

Speaker 8 (07:12):
Right?

Speaker 11 (07:13):
Well, it's actually when you're in the bathtub to get out,
like you can put your hands like on it, you
stand up.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
To hoist yourself little handles.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Huh. I your shampoo to set now.

Speaker 11 (07:30):
I thought so too, until I couldn't get out of
the shower. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what these things
are for.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Nice. Nice the things we learned. I mean, it's like,
I bet there's people listening right now. There's several people
who said I didn't know about the font the car
gas cage thing either. My boyfriend, I don't know if
you saw this one. My boyfriend at forty just found
out that the breast of a chicken is white meat.
So okay. Here's one says when royalty died, I always

(07:56):
thought they were laying in wait, like waiting to be buried.
I just found out it's laying in state. And I'm
almost fifty years old.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
I've never heard of that phrase at all.

Speaker 10 (08:06):
I like this textas says my buddy just found out
at twenty seven that pickles are just pickled cucumbers.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
He still thinks we're messing with him.

Speaker 10 (08:13):
The amount of people I have met that don't realize
cucumbers and pickles are the same thing.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
They're like, oh, like, actually pickled is a state. Yeah,
you got a lot of talkback, Dave, if you.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Want a bunch of talkbacks, Yeah, we got a bunch
of these.

Speaker 12 (08:28):
I just learned that if you use a garlic press,
you do not have to peel your garlic before you
put it in there. What you can put it in
with the skin and all, and it stays in the
press and only the garlet comes out.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Shut up, no changing lives.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, here's another one. Good morning.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
I just learned that the bottom of the oven, the
little extra door at the bottom, is actually a broiler pan.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah. I had no idea.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
I thought there was no use to it.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I just stuffed my pants and but yeah, I'm not
going to be using it. That's close to the floor
for me. Well, you know if that's funny. Too close
to the floor. But I don't know it's true in
every oven. I think that most ovens today have a
broiler feature, so that means it's cooking from the top down.
But it used to be like, there was a when
as a kid you pull that out and you would

(09:19):
put steaks or whatever in there. It would broil from
the top. But now I think it's just a drawer.

Speaker 10 (09:24):
Just go check and leav it's a hot drawer because
I have that drawer. But I also just put pans
in it and it does get hot in there. So
now I'm thinking, a shoot, Is that a broiler? I mean,
what am I broiling?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Nothing? I think it depends on the oven. Yeah, okay,
more of these bunch of talk backs. Let's get to more.

Speaker 8 (09:39):
Not too long ago, I found out that you can
store staples inside your stapler. You take off the bottom
and put them in there and put it back, so
you don't have to have a box of staples somewhere.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
What that can't be true.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
I think this one is. That one's probably But does
it have a space?

Speaker 1 (10:00):
I heard that a couple of years ago.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Nice. Maybe I don't know. Okay, here's another talkback.

Speaker 10 (10:04):
I am thirty two years old, and last year I
learned that Mario, the video game character is actually a plumber.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh you didn't know, Oh yeah, well he started he
started in the in the game Donkey Kong and uh,
and he was a plumber. I don't know why he
was a plumber or why it matters, but he's a plumber. Yeah,
true story, insane.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Okay, here's another talkback.

Speaker 10 (10:27):
I recently learned that you can just take however many
bananas you want.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Off the bunch, and you don't have to buy the
whole thing.

Speaker 13 (10:33):
I had no idea that that was the thing and
that people did that. But it's very good to know,
because sometimes I don't want twenty seven banana.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I didn't know that. Did you guys know that?

Speaker 8 (10:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yes, course I never knew that. No, never knew that.
Never in my life knew that.

Speaker 7 (10:48):
Oh my gosh, you never have to take a whole bundle.
I mean, unless you're at Costco. That's a different story.
But in any grocery store, no, you take as many
as you want. You rip off three and you'll leave
the other four behind you.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Ever do I always for this all this bunch of bananas.
Everybody knows by now that when you peel a banana,
you peel it from the butt end, now, right, everybody
knows that.

Speaker 7 (11:06):
See you say that, and I've tried it your way.
I still like it.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
The other way. Yeah, okay, more of a.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Do you Okay? Well that's and that's what people think
it is, is like a handle. No, you peel it
from the butt end. You pry that little part open
with your finger and it peels so much easier. Okay,
we got more talkbacks. We haven't had a big discussion
about something like this in a long time. What else
we got here on the talkback?

Speaker 13 (11:27):
Something I recently learned. If you press the start button
on most microwaves, it will automatically cook your food for
thirty seconds. If you do it twice, it'll pick it
for a minute, et cetera. I learned this because my
college age son asked me why the microwave beats so
many times when I was using it.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yikes, I didn't know that. I wonder how many things
people are going to go try to check out, Like
they're gonna run to their oven to see whether it's
a broiler underneath, or whether it's just a drawer for
pots and pans, or whether the microft I'm gonna do
that when we get off the show. I'm going to
push the microwave and see what happens.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Hopefully we're giving folks an education today. On all of
these little bits and things. We could just do a
couple more and then we'll have to wrap up here.
But here's another one.

Speaker 9 (12:10):
I just recently learned that on a Google Maps app,
the arrows if it's white, that means that you're supposed
to like when you're turning and there's like three turn
lanes with whichever arrow is white, you're supposed to be
on that lane. Like literally, I didn't even know that
it knew which lane you were supposed to be on.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
Oh I feel like whoever sent that in bless your heart.
But you must get lost a lot then if you
didn't know you were supposed to be in the lane
that the arrow is highlighted, that is funny.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Okay, a couple of more. We're going to take a break. Well,
let's do one more. Talk back.

Speaker 9 (12:46):
Okay, I didn't know that paprika is just dried bell
peppers crushed up.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
I thought that there was some sort of paprika tree.
I did not know that either.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Age didn't either have no idea. All right, that was
a lot of fun. Thanks. I hope we got to years.
If we didn't, well, then thanks for sending it in
