Arnold00:00:00

314 day is the perfect occasion to celebrate the people, places, businesses and spirit of unity that makes it so special. It is an annual celebration dedicated to showcasing the rich culture, unique spirit and dynamic community of St. Louis.We're going to talk more about that on St. Louis in Tune. St. Louis and Tune.And thank you for joining us for fresh perspectives on issues and events with experts, community leaders and everyday people who make a difference in shaping our society and world. I'm Arnold Stricker along with co host Mark Langston.

Mark00:00:45

Howdy, Howdy doody.

Arnold00:00:48

I'm aging myself there.

Mark00:00:49

Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

Arnold00:00:51

What? I don't have freckles and red hair, whiskers.

Mark00:00:56

It's a great day.

Arnold00:00:57

It is a great day.

Mark00:00:58

We're in March, you know, we are.

Arnold00:01:00

In March and this is. We are in the middle of the week of 314 day celebration. It's just not a day, it's a week.

Mark00:01:07

I like that, you know. Do you do that with your birthday? Do you like, have a birthday weekend or birthday week? Yes, we do that in our house.

Arnold00:01:15

Yes.

Mark00:01:16

If your birthday falls on like a Friday or something or a Thursday, we do the whole weekend.

Arnold00:01:21

I get the Valentine's Day flowers for my wife about a week ahead of Valentine's Day. They're a little cheaper and then she's got them throughout. They last for a couple weeks there.

Mark00:01:34

Can I tell you, I'm lucky because my cats eat the flowers so I don't. I don't have to buy flowers.

Arnold00:01:39

Oh, gosh. That's your excuse.

Tatum00:01:41

Get a cat.

Mark00:01:43

Get a cat. Right. Get a cat.

Arnold00:01:45

I want to thank our sponsor, Better Rate Mortgage. Better Rate Mortgage is our sponsor for St. Louis in Tune. And thank you to Sean Zamenoff for doing that.And folks, we're glad that you've joined us today.You can listen to previous shows@stlintune.com please help us continue to grow by leaving a review on our website, stlintune.com, apple podcast or your preferred podcast platform. Our return to civility today deals with just being a great community member and say hello to people you pass in the hall at the office.Even if they say, I'm super busy and important and they look like that to you, Perhaps they're just shy. Your friendly greeting might help them feel more comfortable the next time they see you. I always try to say hello to folks, Mark.

Mark00:02:28

Yeah, I know. We're all in this together, aren't we? Yes. Yeah, you should say, even if we've got that, I've got just smile for crying out loud.

Arnold00:02:37

Yeah.

Mark00:02:37

It's not that hard, is it?

Arnold00:02:38

I don't think it's actually fewer muscles to smile than just a frown.

Mark00:02:42

They could do a whole show on this. That's correct.

Arnold00:02:44

314 day. Wow. What a. Now a lot of people will think I'm talking about PI Day. I'm not talking about PI Day. That's a big thing. This is really a St.Louis, what I'm going to call a festival. 314 day. And Tatum Polk, he's one of the founders and director of operations for 314 day. Welcome, Tatum, to St. Louis and Tune.

Tatum00:03:05

Thank you. Glad to be here with St. Louis and Tune. Let's talk.

Arnold00:03:08

So tell us a little bit about the origins of 314day.

Mark00:03:12

I want to know how long it's been going on.

Arnold00:03:13

I know that. But I'm going to let him spill the beans on that.

Tatum00:03:16

I'll spill the beans. This is year 19 for us.

Arnold00:03:19

I didn't know it was.

Mark00:03:20

No, I didn't either. That's fantastic.

Tatum00:03:23

Yeah. So next year we're really excited about year 20, but we won't pass over. We're blessed to be here every day. So we won't pass over. Year 19.2006 was our first one and we've partnered with STL, Made and those guys over there and they really helped become a catalyst in the marketing world and help us really expand over probably over the last five years. And it's gone from a small two man team to being a globally known thing. So with social media, you see how fast things can move.

Arnold00:03:52

Right.

Tatum00:03:52

And you see how many implants and people that leave St. Louis and go all over the place, but they stay tapped into St. Louis with the 314 days. Kind of cool.

Arnold00:04:00

What was the impetus to do this? Are you guys just sitting around and I'm talking about Terrell Evans, AKA Dip.

Tatum00:04:08

Yeah, Dip. Dip and I have been friends for a long time and we're both St.Louis born and raised and we really wanted to be cheerleaders for our city in a time where things are really exciting. 2006, you're thinking the Cardinals winning the World Series. You're thinking Nelly is really popular.You're thinking Sheryl Crow's just dropped an album. There's a lot of things in St. Louis to be excited about. The blues were, I think they had won a President's cup that year or really close.So they had a really good team and everything was really exciting in St. Louis. But we grew up in the 80s and there was a time with McDonnell Douglas and Boeing and the Chevy dealership and all that stuff.We wanted to just have a civic pride and make sure that people. The narrative was starting to change about what St. Louis was. It was getting more to, hey, it's a really violent place downtown.Businesses are leaving and we wanted to remind people what we were and reset a future. And that was 19 years ago.

Arnold00:05:02

Wow, you've got a. I'm going to read an idea. Not an idea, but a comment that was made.The idea was sparked from love, the love of the city that made us with so much rich history. We believed it needed to be celebrated and recognized. So what is it about St. Louis with native St. Louisans? Both Mark and I are native St. Louisans.Also.

Tatum00:05:23

St. Louis is the biggest small city or the smallest big city. It's right in the middle there.And the more I've learned over this, 19, actually longer than that.But the more I've learned about the city and its history and its impact on Western civilization and its impact on America and its impact on the Midwest, you come to find out there's some real gems in this city.

Arnold00:05:46

Absolutely.

Tatum00:05:47

And it's really great. People that have come here or were born and raised here and have gone to do great things that you just didn't even know they were from here.And so that's exciting. So the more we dive into history, the more you have pride in it.

Arnold00:06:00

You and Dip started this. You mentioned it was a two man kind of crew and it's expanded. How has it expanded? In other words, did businesses get on board?I know you mentioned the STL.Matter of fact, folks, go to thestl.com to get a listing of the events that are going on this week or go to 314day.org and you can get more information about that. But did businesses jump on or how was that kind of accomplished?

Tatum00:06:25

I think we just networked our way through St. Louis originally. It was a really hard deal to my math. My wife's a math teacher over at Lutheran North. So it was PI Day for a lot of people.

Arnold00:06:35

Right.

Tatum00:06:36

You know what I mean? And we don't disregard that at all. We love that. But for us, it was getting people to understand that we needed civic pride.It was getting people to understand that St. Louis is not just a flyover city. And yeah, it was just a two man team.We went out and we told a couple people and they brought into the idea and that kind of snowballed. And then we realized, hey, we need to attach ourselves. And brands need to attach themselves to our machine because this is what St. Louis is born on.This is the backs of the cardinals, the backs of the blue. Like it was so many things that we have in common much more than we have in difference.And so it gets us to a common place where we can have difficult conversations but realize that we have the same goal of making St. Louis great.

Arnold00:07:18

How many events do you recall back?

Tatum00:07:21

I said it was 19 years ago. I was grazing my beard.

Arnold00:07:25

I can't remember what I did 19 minutes ago.

Mark00:07:27

I don't remember why I walked in a room.

Tatum00:07:30

The question was, do I remember some of the events 19 years ago? Our very first event was my birthday is March 16th. So 19 years ago.

Arnold00:07:39

This is a birthday celebration.

Tatum00:07:42

It's just an ego thing.

Arnold00:07:43

No.

Tatum00:07:43

So it was on a Sunday and so the 14th fell on a Friday. And so I was in the music industry and he was on radio over at Radio 1. We talked about a little bit.So we just had a lot of influential friends that were in the music business. So the easiest way for us to do it 19 years ago was just get us all in the room, everybody play their best songs. A concert, to say the least.It was just a pop up concert and the whole city enjoyed it. And we said, hey, we can grow this thing. We can do that. And. And that's our goal. And we've pivoted. We've pivoted a lot in 19 years.We've also grown up and we don't have the same goals and aspirations as we did as 25 year old kids. Now we have families and we have to look and say what does the future look like? What does St. Louis look like for our kids and that sort of thing.So we have pivoted more and more to get back to community. That wasn't year one wasn't designed for feeding the unhoused. We didn't think about that year but we think that's been.We spend most of our liquid on feeding the unhoused now.

Arnold00:08:49

Yeah. And just speaking to the family thing, one of the first thing that shows up is a Great Rivers Greenway 3.14 mile self guided walk and bike ride.

Mark00:08:59

Love it.

Arnold00:09:00

Family oriented thing. And there's just a ton of variety things here. 314 day scavenger hunt.

Tatum00:09:06

Yeah. That's gonna be fun.

Arnold00:09:07

Yeah.

Tatum00:09:07

So did you know? I get it. I learned stuff about St. Louis all the time. The city. The city museum.

Arnold00:09:14

Yes.

Tatum00:09:15

That's all with the crazy artwork that was like a shoe factory.

Arnold00:09:19

It was Brown Shoe Factory.

Mark00:09:20

No.

Arnold00:09:21

Yes.

Mark00:09:21

Come on. No, I didn't know that.

Tatum00:09:22

Yeah. So that was Brown Shoe. So they're gonna have a scavenger hunt where they're hiding little baby shoes all over the city museum.And that's kind of part of it.

Mark00:09:30

Love it.

Tatum00:09:30

So Brown Shoe Company has New Balance. That's right there in Clayton Island. And we talk about all these global brands that we just. We turn a blind eye to.You take for granted how great this city is and how much we have to offer.

Arnold00:09:43

It really is. There's a Red Hot riplet pizza and wings at JJ Twigs314J@ Central West End Yoga.

Mark00:09:52

Wait a minute. Is Red Hot riplets made in St. Louis?

Tatum00:09:55

It's a St. Louis thing.

Mark00:09:56

Get out of here.

Arnold00:09:57

I didn't know that.

Tatum00:09:58

Yeah. So Old Vienna is a St. Louis brand.

Mark00:10:01

They're making red hot riblets.

Tatum00:10:03

Yeah. So now you see all these people. Be creative with that. I tell people all the time, that's the chip that united the city.Everybody's a spicy barbecue thing. Barbecue's kind of a thing.

Mark00:10:11

See, I never knew that.

Arnold00:10:12

It's got a gooey butter cake ice cream.

Tatum00:10:14

You knew that, right? You knew Gooey buttercake.

Arnold00:10:16

I knew that.

Mark00:10:17

Yeah. My kids love it.

Tatum00:10:18

Okay. Ice cream cones. 1904 World's Fair.

Mark00:10:21

Okay.

Tatum00:10:22

Pixie sticks. Did you know that was the St. Louis thing?

Arnold00:10:24

I didn't know.

Mark00:10:24

No.

Tatum00:10:25

Dive into that.

Arnold00:10:26

Wow.

Mark00:10:26

No, that's the real.

Tatum00:10:28

The Willy Wonka movie. That whole. That's a St. Louis.

Mark00:10:31

Get out of town.

Tatum00:10:32

The chocolate company was. Yeah, I remember those.

Arnold00:10:36

Sugar.

Tatum00:10:36

Yeah. I've gone into some rabbit holes.

Arnold00:10:39

Wow.

Mark00:10:39

Pixie sticks. Who knew?

Tatum00:10:41

Who knew?

Arnold00:10:42

I know also.

Tatum00:10:43

No, the hostess fact.

Mark00:10:44

Get out of here.

Arnold00:10:45

Yeah.

Mark00:10:46

Really?

Arnold00:10:46

Yeah.

Tatum00:10:46

It was one right on Broadway.

Mark00:10:48

I'm still scared to eat them.

Tatum00:10:50

Go to the moon. That's probably the best thing to take last for 60 years. I don't know.

Mark00:10:56

Yeah, I know, too.

Arnold00:10:58

Okay, where do you think this is? Let me back up. How has the community responded over the years to all of these?

Tatum00:11:06

I think they've responded great with open arms. I think once we introduced the idea, I think one. I think people were like, man, why didn't I think of that?

Mark00:11:15

Oh, yeah.

Tatum00:11:15

It seems so simple.

Mark00:11:16

It is. It's perfect.

Tatum00:11:18

But other cities have started to jump on board. You got Houston, you got Memphis, Detroit.Probably about 20 cities that we can see their numbers and metrics that have jumped on board with this thing. And so the city is gotten the board. People are volunteering their hours. People Are, you know, volunteering their resources. That's big, man.That's community in a nutshell. Being able to help a brother or neighbor in ways that he can't help himself is great.

Arnold00:11:42

Yeah. You know what's nice about this? It's not like it's downtown or it's West End or it's Forest park or something. It's all over.

Tatum00:11:48

Yeah. It's not just St. Louis, it's the region. It's St. Charles, it's Edwardsville, it's Belleville, it's.Anybody who's ever worn a cardinal cap, it probably fits right in.

Arnold00:11:56

Have you guys been contacted by.I know you mentioned a lot of cities, but the cities that may have the area code, like Springfield might use 417 and have a 417 day or Kansas City have an 8, 16 day. Have other cities contacted you guys about something?

Tatum00:12:11

Other cities have. Kansas City was big this year.They came, they flew out, we sat with them for a few days explaining the blueprint ways to get into the Chamber of Commerce, how to work with your local politicians, how to work with your local sports teams. So we're always. We're open book because we've bumped our head 19 years of it. And this is not my primary job and it's not Terrell's primary job.And so we spend a lot of time, you know, giving back and doing that for other cities is great because we, you know, now we've created foundations where we have scholarships. And so we want people to educate local, too.And because what happens a lot of times is guys come in, they get great educations at Mizzou, at slu, and then they go, take that great education, make other great companies great. Right. So we want people to educate local, stay local, work local, grow local.

Arnold00:12:58

So where do you see this progressing beyond year 20 next year, like to 25 and 30? And what are your and Dip's kind of goals and aspirations for that?

Tatum00:13:09

So we really have focused and pivoted again towards the future.We know that in any good business you have to go recruit young because they're going to be innovative, they're going to understand Snapchat and Twitter, and I have no idea how that stuff works. And we have to. We have a reverse mentorship program where we go and we get student ambassadors to teach us as much as we can teach them.And the future of 314 day will be based on what the future looks like for them. We'll lay out the groundwork, but we have to see what they want. St. Louis, to look like.

Arnold00:13:39

So are you ready to pass the reins over to the next generation or is it like let's hold the reins at the same time?

Tatum00:13:46

No, no, we're not. We're never going to be gatekeepers of this city because that's not who we are. We're just going to be cheerleaders and we're going to be loud.And if you can get louder, you know what I mean?

Arnold00:13:55

Another quote here. A lot of people still just thought 314 day was a party and it was. But it's always been community. That's been the goal.

Tatum00:14:03

That's always been a goal. Yeah.

Arnold00:14:07

I guess.You know, you've got a lot of good advertisements and folks, I want to say again, the stl.com just look up 314 day also 314 day.org I didn't know this was 19 years old. I. You and I are born raised here. And it doesn't necessarily speak to what I'm going to say. It's not a lack of marketing or anything like that.It's just an awareness that there's so many things happening. And how do you raise that to the top of the pile? That I would say because there's food here, there's a food deal here.And I think you guys have really gotten a big media presence this year now.

Tatum00:14:45

Yeah. Yeah.

Arnold00:14:46

And I don't know, has it. Is it this the biggest year for media presence related to that?

Tatum00:14:50

I think it's growing. I think just because there's more outlets and more people want to tap into it. But I think that the people have always been doing the work. So that's.I think that is the really the biggest story. But yeah, for 19 years it hasn't had this sort of popularity, but we were not going to shun away from it either. I mean, we're great.

Arnold00:15:10

How has this impacted you personally to see this grow like this?

Tatum00:15:14

It is a pinch me moment a lot of times. I just talked about that. The other day we won an Emmy on nine PBS status show called Living St. Louis.

Mark00:15:22

Wow. Good for you.

Tatum00:15:23

Yeah, they had a 314 day episode and they talked about Terrell and I and. And then they went into pockets of different people in St. Louis. And I think that's how it continues to grow when people realize that you are St.Louis. Without you, this city is just however many square miles as it is. But it's the people that make this place great. Right.And so as you realize that you are a puzzle piece in this city, you are 314 day. And we wanted to really emphasize that this year with more diversity, focusing on the neighborhoods of St. Louis.There's some rich tradition in neighborhoods and there is in any given 15 minute drive, you're in a completely different city.

Mark00:16:03

That's true.

Tatum00:16:04

You know what I mean? If you leave the arch and go 15 minutes west, you're in East St. Louis. If you go East St.Louis, you got west, you go, you're in Ladue and Clayton, you go south city. That's a completely different environment. You go north city, completely different environment. And.But as we continue to talk about the ways that we're different and by realizing the ways we're similar, we can break down some walls and create some amazing bridges.And I'm super excited as, again, as more people realize what 314 day is and its guts and who it is and what it is and that I think organically we'll just continue to grow and be great.

Mark00:16:43

Sad.

Arnold00:16:43

Yes.

Mark00:16:44

Good for you folks.

Arnold00:16:45

If you want to become a part of this annual celebration, you can contact 314day.Like maybe you want to get on board with something that your business or maybe your neighborhood wants to do to help not only your local community, but the greater St. Louis community out. I'm sure that they are taking considerations for that.

Tatum00:17:04

Absolutely. Absolutely. And that's the thing. So many small businesses don't have the marketing dollars to go crazy. You know what I mean?But that's not creating good products or great service. Right. And so we just say, attach yourself to us. Let us know what you're doing. We'll put a machine behind you. Like you said.We're getting tons of promo and press and we're getting people on television that have never had an opportunity to be seen. Let us get behind you. Let's help us help you. You know what I mean? If that makes sense.

Mark00:17:32

It does. Yeah.

Arnold00:17:33

We've been talking to Tatum Polk. He's one of the founders and director of operations for 314 day.Tatum, any last words to encourage people to go to these activities and be a part of what you guys have been doing for 19 years?

Tatum00:17:46

Yeah. I say one. Yeah. Go to thestl.com 314day and see where you fit. And if you don't fit, submit. Every year we take on what you're.What is your culture doing? How are you partying? How are you giving back? Let us hashtag 314day.I spend probably a week or two looking at hashtags from 314day and seeing how other People celebrate it and what they're doing and where they are and the things that they enjoy and the things that they love and how do they give back? One of the things we look Forward in year 20 is a community cleanup day. Let's really focus on everybody. Get a trash bag and just fill it up.Wherever you are, fill it up. When I was a kid, there was a thing called Operation Brightside, and we just.I remember my mom used to say, hey, we're just gonna go in the alley, and we're gonna pick up as much trash as possible. And do you would be surprised by the aesthetics of buildings or the aesthetics of your community?

Mark00:18:41

No kidding.

Tatum00:18:42

What kind of pride that puts on you?

Mark00:18:43

No kidding. I'm so with you.

Tatum00:18:45

Yeah. Clean up.

Mark00:18:46

We have a thing called Leave no Trace. Leave no trace.

Tatum00:18:50

Can you teach that to my son? I'm like, I know exactly what you ate today. I know exactly what socks you had on today.

Mark00:18:56

Leave no trace. It's true. Yeah. Can I.

Arnold00:19:01

Absolutely.

Mark00:19:02

If you're driving down 44 and you get off at Jefferson.

Tatum00:19:05

Yeah.

Mark00:19:06

The trash is amazing. Yeah, it is. It's sad. It is really sad to me. I don't know. People just throw stuff out the window.

Tatum00:19:15

I remember.

Mark00:19:16

What is that about?

Tatum00:19:18

I had a Facebook, like, argument almost. I'm sorry.

Mark00:19:21

No, go ahead.

Tatum00:19:21

Somebody did it, and they're in front of me, and I'm like, man, what are you doing? What? They can't be that hard to wait till you get to your destination. There's gonna be a trash can. There's gonna be whatever.

Arnold00:19:31

Thank you.

Mark00:19:31

What's the deal? I know.

Tatum00:19:33

This is our city, man.

Mark00:19:34

I don't understand that.

Arnold00:19:35

Somebody's got to pick it up or it just blows away.

Tatum00:19:38

Yeah.

Mark00:19:38

You know, we have an alley, and I go back there, and I'm always picking up junk. You're right. It looks great. It looks totally different.

Tatum00:19:44

No, it's different sense of pride.

Arnold00:19:46

Absolutely. And absolutely.

Mark00:19:48

Even though things might be old and rough when there's no trash, it's a whole different.

Tatum00:19:52

It's a little different.

Mark00:19:53

It is. It's a whole different thing. I am with you on this. I'll come out and help you. I'll be here.

Tatum00:19:57

That's one of my things. I'm gonna probably adopt a highway this year and get out there and do some more work.

Mark00:20:02

I don't know. There's a lot of work on 44.

Tatum00:20:04

I know. There's 70 is worse.

Mark00:20:06

Is it?

Tatum00:20:06

Yes. Go 15 minutes that way.

Mark00:20:09

All right. I haven't done it.

Tatum00:20:10

Yeah. Go from the arch to the airport. It's a tough ride, but it is, again, fixable.

Mark00:20:15

It is. I wish somebody tell me what they're thinking when they're just like driving it.

Tatum00:20:19

All those problems are fixable and they're not solely on our local government. That's on people. You know what I mean? Take care of things yourself, you know what I mean? You can't.And I don't want to go down the rabbit hole, but the reality is everybody should do their part.

Arnold00:20:34

I think that's evidenced by 314 day. It's just not one person. It's just not a few people.It's the community and it's everybody being involved, supporting the community, taking care of the community and advocating for the community.

Mark00:20:47

So let's hear it. That's pretty.

Arnold00:20:53

I have great inspiration right in front of me here. Tatum, thanks for coming in St. Louis.

Tatum00:20:57

And tune it back anytime. It was great.

Arnold00:20:59

All right. We'll be right back for our next segment, folks. You're listening to St. Louis in tune with Arnold Stricker and Mark Langston on the US Radio Network.As strange as it may sound, at Better Rate Mortgage we love talking to people about mortgage. Everyone in St. Louis promises a better mortgage rate.

Arnold00:24:17

Yeah. And that might be on the drawing board for them.One of the things and we alluded to this, we didn't allude to it, we did talk about it was the fact that some smaller businesses and smaller neighborhoods are doing something. And I wanted to go through the schedule because if in case people are just listening, they can't get to the website.By the way, the website folks, it's314day.org or you can get a listing of events@the STL thestl.com 314day it's.

Mark00:28:21

I think that the challenge, and I think Tatum Polk is and. And Dip are working on it, is to get the word out about all of these activities that are going on. Yes, I think that's the challenge.

Arnold00:28:33

One thing that lacks and maybe it's me not looking in the right place, but is there a massive calendar for all of these things that happen in the city of St. Louis County? St. Charles county, maybe on the east side too, so people can see and it might exist and I just might not know about it.

Mark00:28:48

That's a problem though, if you don't know where it is. Maybe. What do they have? Get out magazine and the Post. But nobody's.

Arnold00:28:54

Nobody's getting out.

Mark00:28:55

I know.

Arnold00:28:55

Or maybe they're getting out and going the wrong direction.

Mark00:28:57

Arnold00:29:33

That's a great idea.

Mark00:29:33

Yeah, I know. This is the 314 menu.

Arnold00:29:36

Some restaurants could go crazy with it.

Mark00:29:38

It's got to include pixie sticks.

Yes.

Mark00:30:05

And then squeeze it gently. Squeeze it. Make it round.

Arnold00:30:08

Because then you could get it all down.

Mark00:30:10

And if you get any of your saliva on the end, it clogs it up.

Arnold00:30:13

Yeah.

Mark00:30:13

You got to tear off the top and start over again.

Right.

Arnold00:33:21

And not to. And he was saying just stay out of the way. Let things move along and.

Mark00:33:25

Arnold00:33:26

I would love to see more neighborhoods. I'd love to see some City of St. Louis library things. Gentle hint nudge. Other restaurants. I love your idea about the All St. Louis menu.I think that's outstanding.

Mark00:33:38

Hands on those buttons, please.

Arnold00:35:03

Mark00:35:40

Okay.

Arnold00:35:41

Describes someone or something marked by extreme calm, such as a person or thing is very hard to disturb or upset. Like the imperturbable disc jockey on public radio will give you the news just like this.The imperturbable captain of the Titanic did not panic when the ship hit the iceberg and sunk into the North Atlantic icy water.

Mark00:36:10

Big mistake.

Arnold00:36:12

Nothing disrupted the contestants. Imperturbable focus as the price was right.

Mark00:36:19

Wow. Man.

Arnold00:36:22

I know.

Mark00:36:23

The Titanic. I don't know. So much wrong there.

Arnold00:36:27

Okay, so imperturbable.

Mark00:36:29

That's a great word.

Arnold00:36:30

Not getting upset. Being extreme calm in a disturbing or upsetting situation.

Arnold00:36:57

So like being prepared for some kind of disaster.

Mark00:37:00

I say yeah. It doesn't fall under the emergency category. If you have a legitimate question about something, you can. I think you can dial 311 on your phone.The 31 system. Exactly. It helps residents report issues, find out about city services and solve questions and things like that.

Arnold00:37:20

Never knew that.

Mark00:37:21

Arnold00:37:33

Mark00:37:40

How about Johnny Appleseed day? Remember him?

Arnold00:37:42

Yes, I do.

Mark00:37:43

Yep. Johnny Appleseed introduced the joy of apples. Do you eat apples?

Arnold00:37:50

I in pie. I do.

Mark00:37:52

Okay. Now this is. I don't know. I don't want to be mean to these people, but National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day.I think it's important that we recognize them, but it gives me the creeps.

Arnold00:38:06

I was trying to think of a comeback using the word embalm or something like that.

Mark00:38:11

Involving National Oatmeal Nut Waffles Day. I know. Don't you like those?

Arnold00:38:16

I like pecan waffles. I had some pecan French toast the other day with strawberry glaze on it. Oh, that's really good.

Mark00:38:23

Oh my gosh. World Plumbing Day.

Arnold00:38:27

Is this for businesses or building?

Mark00:38:29

Commemorate the day that your cities and towns always are sanitary. And you should recognize your plumber. If you're a plumber, you should not bite Your fingernails?

Arnold00:38:39

No, no.

Mark00:38:41

Just saying.

Arnold00:38:43

No. I don't know how those guys do it. They get down on their knees and, man, my knees start to hurt.

Mark00:38:50

That's why I get paid the big bucks.

Arnold00:38:52

Yeah.

Mark00:38:52

And I. I'm all about it. I totally understand.

I do, too.

That's weird.

Arnold00:39:07

I. Yeah, no, I get that.

Mark00:39:09

Organized chaos.

Arnold00:39:10

I get that.

Mark00:39:10

Is it organized chaos?

Arnold00:39:13

Yeah, but I know where things are. It's not organized chaos, but it's. I know where things are. Do you know I like to pile things.

Mark00:39:21

National dream Day.

Arnold00:39:22

Yeah, you mentioned that one.

Mark00:39:23

Did I mention that?

Arnold00:39:24

Even nightmares or dreams.

Yes.

Mark00:39:27

Okay. Debunking day. Can debunk things.

Arnold00:39:30

Arnold00:39:35

Can I say something about that?

Mark00:39:37

Oh, yeah, please.

Arnold00:39:37

In other words, folks, it's important to what's between your ears really develop that. And to. And we mentioned this on previous shows, that sometimes people will listen to one media channel, but I like to read and listen to them all.It gets. Helps me, like, wow, they're really out there on that. Or they're really out there on that.And there is actually a website that says where all the media outlets are as far as being center or left or right. Really, the visual. They have their icon, their little emblem, where they are in relation to what's center and what's left and what's right.So it's very interesting.

Mark00:40:15

Never seen that. I'd like to see that, though. Coming up this week, Dow National Working Moms Day. Yes, they are. That's the toughest job.

Arnold00:40:27

Every day should be.

Mark00:41:27

It should be. You're right. It should be. Every day should be a Good Samaritan Day. National Open Umbrella Indoors Day. Did you.

Arnold00:41:38

It's like walking under a ladder in front of a black cat.

Mark00:41:42

Were you always told, don't open that up? Don't open the umbrella up inside. It's bad luck.

Arnold00:41:46

They have a mixes of that. And it was kind of weird, the history of that, which I don't recall, I thought was fascinating when I heard it.

Mark00:43:02

But it's caramel corn.

Arnold00:43:03

You eat caramel corn and cheese. Corn that has a lot of cheese on it.

Mark00:43:07

Together.

Arnold00:43:07

Together.

Mark00:43:08

Oh, they mix them up.

Arnold00:43:09

It's really good.

Mark00:43:10

That sounds pretty good.

Arnold00:43:11

It's really good.

Mark00:43:12

One last one here. International School Meals Day.

Arnold00:43:15

School Meals Day.

Mark00:43:16

Yeah. So there. That's a thing of the past, I think. But I remember in Washington right now.

Arnold00:43:21

We had a school called the Yellow Meal.

Mark00:43:23

Ooh, that's scary.

Arnold00:43:24

And the brown meal.

Mark00:43:26

Oh, that's even scarier.

Arnold00:43:28

And if you got it on a yellow tray or a brown tray. Oh, my gosh.

Mark00:43:32

Really?

Arnold00:43:33

Talk about monochromatic.

Mark00:43:34

So they had two different meals. One was on a brown.

Arnold00:43:37

It would be a different day. They had tacos.

Mark00:43:38

Oh, I see.

Arnold00:43:39

And then they have corn with the taco. And then maybe they'd put an orange on there so it's all the same hue.

Mark00:43:44

Cold corn.

Arnold00:43:45

Yeah. Or then they'd have the. The brown meal might be brown rice and chicken or something. And then.

Mark00:43:50

Yeah, it's just like I. I don't miss those days.

Arnold00:43:54

No, I don't either.

Mark00:43:55

I know Mark.

Arnold00:43:56

People who work in a bank. It's a very ungrateful job. A lady asked me to check her balance, so I pushed her over. I got fired. I have pictures of food in my phone here today.I found that if you treat others how they treat you, they seem to get very upset. Okay, I've said that one already. That one would not work. That one would not work. Way back into the Here we go.I asked the kid working at McDonald's if the Shamrock shakes were made with fresh shamrocks. He went to ask the manager. So somebody said, tell me your wildest fantasy.Sleeping through the night and waking up to a clean house, a fit body, no wrinkles, laundry done and put away. A full on buffet breakfast. Breakfast with no calories and a million bucks in my purse.

Mark00:44:57

Yep.

Arnold00:44:58

Did you know that golf is the adult version of an Easter egg hunt?

Mark00:45:05

No.

Arnold00:45:07

At least for some people it is.

Mark00:45:09

Oh, never mind.

Arnold00:45:10

I got a call from a telemarketer and he said he couldn't understand me. I told him to press 1 for Eng. A wife, being the romantic sort, sent her husband a text. If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you.The husband, typically non romantic, replied, I am on the toilet. Please advise. Principal says, hey, your child has been causing problems in school. I said, my child causes problems at home too. Do I ever call you?All right, here we go.

Mark00:46:04

There's more.

Arnold00:46:05

I can't wait to retire so I can get up at 6:00 in the morning and go drive around really slow and make everybody late for work.

Mark00:46:13

I know those people get behind them every day.

Arnold00:46:17

I'm so single right now that I stood on a cliff and shouted I love you. And my echo replied, I just want to be friends.

Mark00:46:27

Sounds like my younger years before I got married.

Arnold00:46:31

Let's see here. I don't always lose stuff, but when I do, it's because my wife moved it.

Mark00:46:43

We like that one.

Arnold00:46:44

I'm on a light diet. I eat by daylight, moonlight and sometimes refrigerator light.

Mark00:46:55

Give that another one.

Arnold00:46:56

I'm in a Walmart parking lot watching a woman who can't remember where she parked. And every time she holds her remote in the air, I honk my horn. Now, this is not me, folks. I didn't make this one up, folks.But remember, when you're dead, you don't know you're dead. It's only painful for others. The same applies when you're stupid.

Mark00:47:23

Wow. That's good. Lesson well learned.

Arnold00:47:30

Breaking news. The Earth revolves around the sun. This may upset a few people who think it revolves around them.

Mark00:47:38

Yep.

Arnold00:47:43

While Facebook was down, I managed to meet my family. They're actually quite nice people. So there's this husband and wife. They're looking out the window, and the husband says, oh, no, our neighbor died.And the wife says, who? Ray? And the husband says, I don't think cheering is appropriate. Karen.

Mark00:48:07

I knew it. I knew as soon as you said it. Oh, man.

Arnold00:48:14

So this guy and his gal are meeting, and he goes, my name is Justin. She says, okay, but I didn't ask. He said, just in case.

Mark00:48:24

Wow. Wow.

Arnold00:48:28

And jellyfish have survived 650 million years despite not having a brain. This gives hope to so many people.

Mark00:48:40

Oh, gosh. Okay.

Arnold00:48:42

Oh, my.

Mark00:48:43

Yeah, that's a. Oh, my is right. Oh, my.

Arnold00:48:45
