Speaker 1: Rarely do I come across crazy facts and tell you
Speaker 1: all about them, because a lot of times I just
Speaker 1: keep them all to myself.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, a lot of crazy bats.
Speaker 1: My mom calls me a fact horder, and I just
Speaker 1: sit up in my room with the door locked and
Speaker 1: I play with all my facts. But today I'm gonna
Speaker 1: share one with you that I thought was actually pretty fascinating.
Speaker 1: So you've all heard of kryptonite from Superman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like his weakness or whatever. It's the only
Speaker 2: thing that can.
Speaker 1: Defeat him, the green glowing crystal, and when it's close
Speaker 1: to him, it saffs all of his energy and his strength. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it turns out the idea of kryptonite was invented way
Speaker 1: back when there used to be a live Superman radio
Speaker 1: show and there was one main actor who played the
Speaker 1: role of Superman, and whenever he took a vacation, he
Speaker 1: couldn't voice any lines. Kryptonite would magically show up in
Speaker 1: the story, so whoever was filling in didn't have to
Speaker 1: say anything. They could just groan in pain through the
Speaker 1: whole episode.
Speaker 2: Dude, that'd be so awesome. Then we could take more vacation.
Speaker 1: I know, we can learn a lot from these radio legends.
Speaker 1: So next week I plan to take off a little
Speaker 1: bit for a vacation, and I know we're recording this.
Speaker 1: So on Monday, you can use this. Just pop that
Speaker 1: into like a second date or something.
Speaker 2: Okay, sounds like such an old man.
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, use this one.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I.
Speaker 3: Go way up.
Speaker 1: We'll put that one in an awkward call the morning.
Speaker 1: And on Wednesday, I'm really feeling like that one was
Speaker 1: too much for me. I don't think I even make
Speaker 1: it to Friday. I know, but you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: tune in to find out.
Speaker 3: We have to come to work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys have to be here, man, but I'll
Speaker 1: be off anyway. Now, I feel like we've accomplished a
Speaker 1: lot already. We're already working ahead of the next week.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to just the groans.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of our listeners are actually so
Speaker 1: good news for everybody. Let's move on to the shot
Speaker 1: collar question of the day. We have a no, I
Speaker 1: don't see a bucket.
Speaker 4: There's no bucket, Jeffrey, of course not. Hey, kids, you'll
Speaker 4: ever believe it. It snuck up on us again. It's Global
Speaker 4: Recycling Day. This international holiday was created to encourage people
Speaker 4: everywhere to look at our trash in a new light
Speaker 4: and to celebrate. We're gonna air a replay question because
Speaker 4: it's considered recycled content. I wish I'm being forced to
Speaker 4: ask a new one, but I don't feel good about
Speaker 4: doing this the environment. We're going to call it the
Speaker 4: brand new recycled, eco friendly one and done shot caller. Wow,
Speaker 4: it just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it really does.
Speaker 4: Each of you has a sheet of paper in front
Speaker 4: of you that has five words on it. Cardboard, plastic, glass, paper,
Speaker 4: and aluminum. We're gonna go around the room and I'll
Speaker 4: tell you a fact and you have to tell me
Speaker 4: which one of those materials I'm talking about. Oh and
Speaker 4: we could choose the same one more than once, so
Speaker 4: be on your toes. We're gonna start with Alexis. Originally
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask you to read the words in
Speaker 4: the sheet of paper in front of Producer BOYD said
Speaker 4: you might have a hard time sounding out the word aluminum,
Speaker 4: so we're gonna have a different question. Approximately one hundred
Speaker 4: billion of these are produced each year in North America alone,
Speaker 4: and if you can recycle one ton of it, that
Speaker 4: would save forty six gallons of oil each time. What
Speaker 4: is it?
Speaker 2: Oh? Brooke said, Oh, like you know it easily. I
Speaker 2: mean it could be oil in a different way. But
Speaker 2: like for me when I'm thinking oil, plastic needs oil
Speaker 2: to be made.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Either.
Speaker 1: One hundred billions. That's a lot. I mean there's a
Speaker 1: lot of plastic out there.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Brooke was really excited about recycling stuff, So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go with her answer and say, plastic bottles.
Speaker 4: If you recycled one ton of this, you would save
Speaker 4: forty six gallons of oil each time. I'm talking about
Speaker 4: cardboard boxes. Why oil?
Speaker 2: Why would you save oil?
Speaker 4: I'm not a scientist, so let's move on.
Speaker 3: You broke your next Okay, it'll be fun.
Speaker 4: The person has the opportunity to recycle more than twenty
Speaker 4: five thousand of this item in their lifetime five thousand,
Speaker 4: and normally less than a quarter of that actually gets recycled.
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 2: I would say aluminum cans is my first thought, and
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't recycle them. They just throw
Speaker 2: them away instead.
Speaker 1: That's like a soda every day, Not.
Speaker 2: A soda, it's like.
Speaker 3: White clay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for it. I forgot that those Yeah, okay, twenty
Speaker 2: five thousand or okay, how about this? How about glass jars.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people don't do that, and
Speaker 2: there's tons of glass jars out there. Apple sauce wine
Speaker 2: big too.
Speaker 4: Is the.
Speaker 1: Your wine comes in jars? That's amazing.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go Aluminum cans.
Speaker 4: The average person has the opportunity to recycle twenty five
Speaker 4: thousand of these in their lifetime, but only less than
Speaker 4: a quarter actually get recycled. I'm talking about aluminum cans.
Speaker 4: Good brook is safe Jose Europe. Twenty eight billion of
Speaker 4: these going to landfills every year instead of recycling centers
Speaker 4: where they should be. It's enough to fill two Empire
Speaker 4: state buildings every three weeks. What is it?
Speaker 2: Way billion man should be recycled.
Speaker 3: Plastic is standing out to me right away because I
Speaker 3: am thinking about plastic bottles, everything from water to soda
Speaker 3: to just like containers of.
Speaker 2: Things, or what about like plastic takeout containers? Yeah, you
Speaker 2: know that's true.
Speaker 3: To the other thing I would think of is plastic straws.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's not bad.
Speaker 3: Also, the rings, I think because so many states and
Speaker 3: cities are banning plastic straws. I think it's part of
Speaker 3: this major, major problem. Sol, I'm gonna say, plastic straws.
Speaker 4: Drink twenty eight billion of these going to landfills every
Speaker 4: single year. I'm talking about glass bottles. Wow, Jose and
Speaker 4: Alexis are getting shocked. We're onto Jeff, Jeff. Two and
Speaker 4: a half million of these are thrown away every hour
Speaker 4: in North America hour and unfortunately, only twenty three percent
Speaker 4: of these are recycled, which means we could all do
Speaker 4: a much better job.
Speaker 1: What is it, oh, class two and a half million
Speaker 1: an hour hour?
Speaker 3: If it's my apartment, it's paper plates.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I go through a lot of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, do you go back to Jose's thing
Speaker 2: with plastic straw like if you think of just like Starbucks,
Speaker 2: like handing out drink after drink with straws.
Speaker 1: But they've stopped using straws.
Speaker 3: Now, not a lot of them.
Speaker 1: I'm guilty.
Speaker 2: I get a strawy time I go there.
Speaker 1: Oh you do, yeah, but they are now.
Speaker 2: But dude, I got a lot of what that's what
Speaker 2: I was thinking.
Speaker 1: Plastic bags at the grocery store. Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 3: Good they give the end you a bag and your
Speaker 3: your stuff's inside with the star.
Speaker 1: I actually like that A is the best answer. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with two point five million plastic bags an hour.
Speaker 4: Twenty three percent of these are recycled every year, and
Speaker 4: two and a half million are thrown away every hour
Speaker 4: in North America. I'm talking about plastic bottles.
Speaker 1: Every wow, Wow, are thirsty?
Speaker 2: Give some reusable coups? Like what is going on? Well,
Speaker 2: there's so much more fashion.
Speaker 1: Forward too, So everybody is getting shocked except for Brook
Speaker 1: the recycled queens. So we're all gonna get shocked while
Speaker 1: singing wanna be by Spice Girls. If you want to be.
Speaker 3: My lover, you gotta get with my friends. Make it
Speaker 3: last forever friend jan Ever, I actually wanted the whole song.
Speaker 2: I'm sad. I was sad to shock you all.
Speaker 1: That's a shock collar question of the day. Phone taps
Speaker 1: coming up in a few minutes.
