Dear, dentures and pogo sticks. (296)

| Posted on |

A colorful cartoon titled "That Sounds Funny: Dear, Dentures and Pogo Sticks." It features a confused deer on a pogo stick juggling Rubik's cubes, a set of dentures labeled "IT," a bat, a microphone with a speech bubble saying "Gunsmoke," a train, a battery icon, and an elderly man with a broken leg holding a cane, standing next to an NFL flag and a building with an airplane sign. Tags include deer, pogo stick, bats, dentures, Gunsmoke Trivia, NFL Predictions, Battery Care, Audible Promo, and Meta Glasses. The border has comic sound effects like "Bang," "Boing," and "Zap."

The podcast hosts kicked off the episode with recent updates and personal anecdotes. Terry shared a humorous story about losing his dentures in his sleep, only to discover them under his buttocks, which sparked a lively discussion on denture care and specialized gum options. Keith then announced an Amazon Audible affiliate promotion running through December 15th, offering a double bounty for new sign-ups. Wrapping up the opening segment, the hosts briefly touched on recent NFL action, highlighting a 59-point game featuring the Chicago Bears.

News of the Week

Terry led the news segment with an unusual story out of Georgia, where two deer crashed into separate businesses at the same shopping center—one entering Big Daddy’s Oyster Bar and the other a local massage parlor. Both animals were safely removed without any injuries reported.
The oddities continued with Jill sharing details of a screaming contest at a San Francisco beach, where participants yelled directly at the ocean; the winning shout clocked in at an impressive 121.9 decibels. Keith discussed a bipartisan effort in Tennessee to rename an airport after Dolly Parton following her passing. Terry closed out the segment with a wild tale from Florida, where a large deer entered a residential home, used the bathroom, took a dip in the backyard pool, and was eventually guided out by police officers.
Additional bizarre headlines included a bat loose on a Glasgow commuter train and a century-old Tilt-A-Whirl operating at the Minnesota State Fair. Terry also highlighted a Nova Scotia man who attempted a Guinness World Record by solving 211 Rubik’s Cubes while bouncing on a pogo stick, prompting the group to speculate on the balance and equipment required.

Jill’s Trivia Quiz

This week’s trivia focused on the classic TV show Gunsmoke. Keith showcased impressive knowledge of the show’s lore, correctly answering questions regarding Marshal Matt Dillon (played by James Arness), character dynamics, and storyline details. Terry and Jill joined in with varying success.

Terry’s Top 10 List

Terry revealed AI-generated predictions for the 10 NFL teams least likely to reach the Super Bowl: the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos, Washington Commanders, and Indianapolis Colts. The discussion transitioned into football history, comparing past leagues like the AFL and XFL, and Keith shared news about the newly formed National Women’s Baseball League and its initial four-team inaugural season in Springfield, Illinois.

Anchor Topic

In this episode’s anchor segment, the hosts focused on tech tips and accessibility. Keith covered essential battery maintenance, emphasizing how extreme heat and cold degrade performance and recommending keeping smartphone batteries charged between 20% and 80%. Terry shared his first-hand experience with thermal throttling while using his Meta glasses and phone near a swimming pool, noting the built-in heat warnings on the glasses.

Email and Final Thoughts

Keith reminded listeners to submit questions and feedback, as the current backlog of emails will only cover approximately 10 more episodes at two per week. The hosts shared two amusing real-life stories: one involving an elderly man who sarcastically critiqued first responders after breaking his leg, and another about a listener who inadvertently parked in an IT-reserved spot for six years. The segment wrapped up with voicemails covering topics ranging from a nudist colony to a driver whose wife repeatedly interrupted his explanations to a police officer during a traffic stop.
