August 9, 2025 - This Week's Leftovers and a Song of Forgotten Names
Leftovers are on the menu today, and boy, are we serving up some culinary comedy gold! Buckle up as I dive into the zany thoughts and giggles that didn’t quite make the cut on the radio. From the hilariously impossible task of pleasing everyone (spoiler alert: it’s a no-go) to the absurd idea that we might just be living in a video game played by robots, my brain has been a playground of puns and punchlines. Ever wonder why you can’t remember names? Well, it turns out it’s not your fault; your brain might just be too busy pondering the meaning of life! And let’s not forget about the wild inventions like the rubber airplane that’s literally designed to bounce back from crashes. I mean, who wouldn’t want to fly in a bouncy castle with wings?! Join me for some chuckles as we dissect the week’s wackiest news, including Chili’s selling cowboy boots made from booth material—because who doesn’t want to strut in some baby back rib footwear?
Takeaways:
- We learned that trying to please everyone is a total nightmare, but annoying them? Easy-peasy!
- Ever feel like life is just a glitchy video game? Yeah, me too. Windows 95 vibes!
- Get this: Chili's is now selling boots made from the same stuff as their booths. Smell like ribs? Yes, please!
- Some scientists think we're living in a simulation run by robots. If so, can we get a reboot?
- Too much screen time could mess with your head. Like, tell me something I didn't know, right?
- Not remembering names? Don’t worry, it’s a sign you care more about feelings than labels!

All right, it's time to serve up some leftovers.
Speaker A:Some of the silly jokes and thoughts that I had over the past few days that I did not get to on the radio.
Speaker A:And there's been a lot going on in the last week.
Speaker A:Lots of thoughts rattling around in the old noggin.
Speaker A:You know, as I've grown older, I've learned that pleasing everyone is just absolutely impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
Speaker A:So I've kind of pivoted and tried to go.
Speaker A:Tried to go that way.
Speaker A:I think it's hilarious.
Speaker A:I'm not really into the tinfoil hat stuff, but I've got a lot of friends who, you know, we're just living in a simulation.
Speaker A:And there are now some physicists, some allegedly legitimate scientists saying that we are living in a digital simulation being played by an advanced society of robots.
Speaker A:And while I always dismiss this stuff as silly, I'm starting to think it makes sense.
Speaker A:I mean, my life feels like it's running on Windows 95 or maybe DOS 3.
Speaker A:There is a new report that says, speaking of nerdy online stuff, people who spend too much online can develop severe mental problems, including stress, sleeping disorders, and depression.
Speaker A:I believe that we get depressed.
Speaker A:We see everyone else having a great life and think, why is it r so great?
Speaker A:Or, you know, the sleeping disorder is probably the blue light.
Speaker A:You stare at the phone, and then it makes it hard to go to sleep.
Speaker A:I'm just glad to see a report kind of verify what we had all assumed.
Speaker A:So now I've got to get off here and go share this with my 2,687 Facebook friends because that's the most important thing in the world, is sharing with friends on Facebook.
Speaker A:Chili's is selling cowboy boots that are made from the material used in their restaurant booths.
Speaker A:They're seating.
Speaker A:Now, I don't know if this is just the same material or if they're going and cutting out old booths.
Speaker A:Let's do a remodel.
Speaker A:You.
Speaker A:You buy a pair of Chili's boots was why those smell like baby back rib farts.
Speaker A:I guess it's still better than Arby's, who sells roast beef made out of old cowboy boots.
Speaker A:So, you know, either way, oh, what else has been around in the last.
Speaker A:In the last week or so?
Speaker A:There's a new airplane.
Speaker A:This is fascinating.
Speaker A:A new airplane that's been invented that absolutely cannot crash.
Speaker A:It is made entirely out of rubber polymers, so it will just bounce.
Speaker A:The company that made it is Boeing.
Speaker A:Boeing.
Speaker A:Boeing.
Speaker A:That's my favorite joke of the week that I didn't get to.
Speaker A:I got done with the show the other day and I thought, how did I not do the Boeing, Boeing, Boeing joke?
Speaker A:Sometimes, sometimes when you're in the studio, just time flies.
Speaker A:You're having a good time, you're cranking music, whatever.
Speaker A:I. I also stumbled across this fascinating report.
Speaker A:It's an article talking about remembering names.
Speaker A:And I've always felt guilty because I'm terrible, absolutely terrible with names.
Speaker A:And I'm apparently not the only one.
Speaker A:There are plenty of people who are great at conversations and names just evaporate out of thin air, just evaporate.
Speaker A:And according to this article, reading somebody's name is actually some pretty, pretty deep psychological signs.
Speaker A:You could well be an abstract thinker.
Speaker A:You think more about ideas than labels.
Speaker A:And I, for me, I'm definitely guilty as charged.
Speaker A:There a big picture person.
Speaker A:So you, you don't, you know, to me, I shouldn't say, to me, there I go admitting it as a Freudian slip.
Speaker A:To someone that's a big picture person, someone's name is not as important as, you know, their thoughts, their ideas.
Speaker A:Also, some people are deeply empathetic, so they don't.
Speaker A:They don't even think about someone's name when they first meet them.
Speaker B:All they think about is how do they feel?
Speaker A:What are their emotions?
Speaker A:So there are some very reasonable, logical explanations for if you're bad about not remembering somebody's name.
Speaker A:Maybe you didn't forget the name, maybe you just prioritized their emotions.
Speaker A:My therapist actually said it's progress now that I no longer know all the pole dancers by name.
Speaker A:It's just a joke.
Speaker A:I haven't been in that place in weeks.
Speaker A:It shut down the other day.
Speaker B:Every glance I steal your smile makes me real can't say how I feel Are you Claire or Lucille?
Speaker B:I don't know your name Every chat we share I'm lost in your stare My mind's unaware Is it Rose or Blair?
Speaker B:I don't know your name oh, can't you see It's a blank to me how my brain betrays Without a name to say Even on a date our names cannot mate Some might say it's.
Speaker A:Fate Were you fake or Kate?
Speaker B:I don't know your name.
