Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff, no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries, and still have enough charge to visit your in-laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part, you won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric. Explore EVs that fit your life at electricforall.org. Do you guys have any, or any of you out there in radio, in radio world, 855-591-1035? Do any of you have like a very specific knowledge based or hobby?
3:03I'm trying to think if I know of any of you guys that you know something or like an area of expertise. But I bring this up because there's a Barbie superfan that made news this morning. And she just proved that she knows her dolls inside it out blindfolded. Her name is Bettina Dorfman. That's your name. And she holds the Guinness World Record for the world's largest Barbie collection, more than $18,000. She recently set another record by identifying Barbies simply by touch while blindfolded. So she was able to tell you which Barbie it was, I guess, of the 18,000. She identified 19 different Barbies in three minutes by feeling details like hair clothing and body design. The lifelong collector says, the decades of handling the dolls, which I don't know what we're handling. What are we doing with them? Like, I thought, right. But I mean, you know, we're grown. This is not a child. But teen is not a child. Yeah. I mean, I think they're just playing right now. So the start.
4:03Lifetime of handling the dolls helped her memorize tiny details enough to recognize them without ever seeing them. The performance entered her in the Guinness World Record book for the most Barbie dolls identified blindfolded in three minutes. It's good to have dreams. No, it is. It is. Somebody read through there and was like, yeah, I think you could do it less than three. But Tina, girl, you can do that. This reminds me of the most impressive ever. Ben is there's like these three little Italian known us in Italy. And they are blindfolded. And they can tell you what piece of bread somebody is breaking in half just by the sound. It was really impressive. Wow. And that's my kind of skill. No. Do any of you have any kind of like hidden sort of knowledge or interest that I didn't know about? Because I'm trying to think if I can do anything like I don't know. Like I know a lot of yacht rock. You know, because I grew up listening to yacht rocks. I can probably identify a number of yacht rock songs that most people couldn't.
5:05I know weird music facts about the 80s and 90s. What about airplanes? Can you like by the sound of the engine? No. No. No. And people who have that kind of brain are amazing. Like I have friends who can look and be like, oh, that's a, you know, that's a 737. That's an 800 though. You know, it's the 900 is longer and then the max. You know that by the engine inlet and the, you know what? And then they can look from afar and tell you like, you know, well, that's serial number, whatever. Because, you know, I might like that with cars. He can look and be like, that's a V8 front four wheel drive, you know, cam shaft, whatever. That one has the cam shaft. That one has the cam shaft. That one has the cam shaft. Oh, that's right. That's right, Mike. I like that. He's a mechanic, right? So that's surprising. I hope he knows. It's like super, VW is this thing, right? Oh my gosh. Yeah, I hope he's like, that's a, that's not a 68 because the 68 had this type of window. That's a 67 because blah, blah, blah. I'm like, who needs to ask what I mean? Yeah. Like people that can do stuff like that. Like I can't, I'm not like that.
6:06Yeah. Like I know enough to not, you know, get myself in trouble. But I couldn't tell you like, whoa, that one. Yeah. No, definitely. That one was, that's an O8. Yeah. Yeah. Look at it. Yeah. Like, no, it's not, that's an O7. Oh, no, it's not because if you look at the rims on that one versus that, the cutout is different. I don't know. They made those rims. Oh, yeah. They only made them 76. 76. They care. It's the only year that they did that. Yeah. I think if somebody would would texture call in here with like some sort of random, incredible knowledge that they have of some off, you know, just topping that I never would have thought of. Like I, I, of course there's somebody out there who's a Barbie expert. There would be, you know, that's right. I don't think I have like a special hidden, whatever this is. I don't even know what to call this. But I think if you put a bunch of like pop in a row and cups for me and I drink them blindfolded, I think I could tell you exactly which one they are. If it's Diet Coke, if it's cherry Diet Coke, a Diet Dr. Pepper, we've talked about. Well, the cherry one would be pretty easy.
7:06But why is it Dr. Pepper though? Or is it Coke? Cherry Dr. Pepper. Now that one would throw me off. You're taking something sweet and making it sweeter. That's what I'm saying. So if I lined up, so you could just, I mean the diets are easy to discern because diets taste like diet. And Coke and Pepsi are easy to discern, I think. Yeah. Then there's like the zero sugar. Right. That could taste like the diet. We got to get deeper with it. Yes. Zero sugar would might throw me off a little bit because zero sugar tasted off a lot like regular. I don't know how they do it. I don't know what they ground up to put in there. I'm not asking. No, I'm not asking. No, I'm not asking. I'm really not sure what's worse. Don't tell me. Don't text me because I don't need you. We don't need to have this debate. I'm not listening. Is it whatever they put in the Coke zero sugar to make it taste like regular Coke or the Coke with the sugar? Like which one's going to kill me faster? Because it depends where you, who you ask? Some will tell you that the real sugar is what's going to kill you and give you the diet beat us. And then some people will tell you that, you know, it's the chemicals they put in the other stuff that's going to kill you. I'm some people. But I just, I don't know. I honestly don't know which one it is. It's always better to eat real food than fake food in my opinion.
8:08That's just a role I live by. But a lot of sugar is like a big problem because it's cancer and stuff like that. Well, don't everything in moderation. Well, so does Aspartame. That's one of the biggest causes of cancer. That's the fake sugar and diet. Ugh. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't been to medical school in a while. So I'm really not sure. I also haven't been to the laboratory in a little bit. So I don't know if I'm qualified to do that. I was just at the lab. If you Google, though, if you Google this question, you will get 50 different answers to it, though. Well, because some people think less calories equals healthier. If that's like what you're into, then yeah, that's healthy. No, I'm worried about the actual sugar intake. Yeah. I'm not worried about calories. What, no, you're not worried about calories. I wouldn't have eaten at five guys last night. Oh, what'd you get? That's a good one. Or did I go at it? You know? And like, we don't have the choice between the regular size fries and the, and the small ones and the regular or like a dollar more. Like, come on. Did you do Cajun? Of course I did. Oh, sorry. Thank you for having so many fries, so many. I know, which is why they have like a normal person, they have like a, like the child's would be what a large would be anywhere else. And then they have the regular, which is monstrous.
9:08And it's like, you know that's a monster size. I'm like, oh, I'm aware. I know exactly what I'm doing. They're veggie sandwiches, which is really good. I know that's crazy to say. Oh, man. All right. Well, y'all let me down. He just got to smack me. Y'all let me down because I thought that, I mean, I really figured someone would call up here and be like, I am a lawnmower ex, like I know every lawnmower by the sound or something. You guys let me down because whenever I do these obscure topics, somebody calls up here and says something that blows my mind because, you know, of the 13 listeners that we have, we have some very interesting people. Our friend Marshall, we were going toe-to-toe with Titanic facts. You know, Marshall who got his brand new heart. Marshall, yes. Young man. Yeah. He knew like, he knew passengers. He knew like what class they were in. He knew the captain. Like it was, it was. He didn't know more about the Titanic than you did. Which I was, he blew your way. I don't know about that, but I'll give it to him. No, I know. I was impressed. I didn't want to rub it in at the time. Sorry, I'm right. I'll let that one go. No, he's fully healed and functioning. I know I didn't want to rub it in at the time,
10:09but I was like, you just got schooled by an eight-year-old. Okay. Which was tough to watch, honestly. I owned every kind of reusable water bottle brand and can identify anyone's water bottle. Oh, that's kind of cool. Now, see, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, man. That's what I'm talking about. What about like, I think I can identify fast food burgers. I saw someone do this the other day. That's cool. I saw someone do. Yeah, there were a couple. You'd have to tell me ahead of time which ones you bought. Because I mean, there are so many different, you'd have to be like, okay, I don't have to see, I don't have to obviously see them. Because visually, I would know immediately. Oh, yeah. But you'd have to be like, there's a burger king here, there's a McDonald's, there's a Wendy's, there's a Colvers Jr, there's a Colvers, or a Carl's Jr, there's a Colvers. You'd have to tell me the brands at least. Because I mean, I don't know. I might be able to do it without just my texture, but it would be helpful if I knew. There's like, I don't know. This person bought, in the video I saw,
11:09they bought like a checker's burger or something. And we don't have checker. Oh, yeah. Certain states have checkers, certain states. Like, if you were to buy a water burger, I would know that one, but so you might not be right. So you'd have to tell me. So there might be some process of elimination. Because I don't need to Carl's Jr. I've never eaten Carl's Jr. actually. For no reason. I just have never, like, I've never been near one. I've been like. Well, the odds. No, they're good. We need to do this game. I like this game. Wow. I was thinking when I saw this video, and there were like eight different burgers. I'm like, someone had to drive to eight different restaurants in order to, you know, get all of this stuff. Right. One busy door dash. Oh, my gosh. 300 dollar door dash order. Yeah. Come on around 10. Like, if I stand belly out right now and say, all right, go get all these burgers. She'd come back tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Here's our water bottle expert, Charlotte. Water bottle expert. Now, tell me about this. How do you do that? Hi. Good morning. Yeah. So I think it kind of became sort of a thing for work.
12:10And now I own pretty much everything a water bottle brand. And I've almost every single kind of bottle that every brand has come out with. So like, I just identify them randomly when I'm out. And I'm like, oh, that's a family. That's a simple matter. Oh, that's a new, like, a wala. Yeah. Now, Charlotte is an expert. You know, which one should we buy? Yeah. Okay. I use the roommate. But technically, like, the best one is a wala. So. Oh, I had that. Yeah. Okay. You're good. Oh, wala. Okay. All right. Perfect. Yeah. Charlotte for that information. That's what I was looking for. Have a good day. That girl. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's good to have it. It's good to have a hobby, as someone mentioned. At work, I can tell people's walks by how the keys slap their leg. No, that's real. Yeah. I can do that with all of you. I could actually, I don't even need to hear you. I know who's behind my shoulder who's coming through that door. Same. Really? Yeah. Everybody has different like walk patterns. And I just can sense it. Is it after the show when it becomes like variety hour in here? Oh, my God.
13:10So everyone's walking and then it's a surprise. You can hear me when I'm leaving because I'm running. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's how you know it. My friend just took off. Must be around 10. That's the book of it again. Because I'm sprinting so no suits see me. So I don't have to talk to any of them. Yeah. Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing. Victory Lane? Yeah.
