Quick recap

Summary
The podcast team discussed technical issues with their RSS feed, which has now been restored to its normal functioning. Terry shared that he had started listening to Ainsley Earhart’s podcast “The Life of Jesus,” which tells the story of Jesus through over 100 characters in a narrative format. The team also briefly discussed Terry’s upcoming colonoscopy and Jill’s physical therapy progress for her leg, which is showing improvement with the use of a reduction kit. (Hey! Our AI companion knows the word for that device, even if Terry does not.)
News of the Week
Terry shared a Guinness World Records story: a 12-year-old Iranian student achieved nuclear fusion in Dallas, Texas. Jill had a story about a 90-year-old Michigan teacher named Beverly Hammond who was recognized for her 67 years of teaching, having taught notable alumni like Courtney B. Vance and Robin Williams. The discussion included light banter about teaching until death and references to skeletons.
We continue sharing unique stories and facts, including a Spanish tradition involving horses leaping through flames, a Czechoslovakian wolfhound that crossed the finish line in a women’s cross-country ski event, and a 71-year-old manatee, the oldest on record, in Florida.
Keith and Terry discussed various slang terms, including “big back” and “brick,” while Jill listened. Keith mentioned receiving slang words weekly and planned to share them with Jill for their podcast. Terry shared a news story about a man suing Buffalo Wild Wings for using the term “boneless wings,” which the judge dismissed. The group briefly discussed the origins of chicken fingers and the term “boneless wings.”
Jill’s Weird Words
Jill is back with her word game where they discussed unusual and often obscure words, including their meanings and potential connections to everyday life. Keith, Jill, and Terry shared humorous interpretations and personal anecdotes related to the words, such as “sanative,” “Galination,” and “burger.” They also discussed the word “rupestrian,” which refers to art drawn on rock or cave walls, and “burl,” which in Scottish means to drink with friends. The session concluded with a mention of “temerity,” defined as a reckless act, and a challenge for all our listeners to use the discussed words in a reckless manner through the week.
Terry’s Top 10 List
Terry presented a humorous top 15 list of reasons to allow drinking at work, which Keith and Jill discussed, noting that while some points were amusing, allowing alcohol in the workplace could lead to safety issues.
Anchor Topic
The conversation then shifted to the anchor topic for the week, which was living skills, with Jill potentially having insights to share on household tasks and lifestyle.
We had a discussion about adapting kitchen appliances for people who are blind. They shared personal experiences with marking appliances and keyboards to make them more accessible. Keith described using Velcro dots, gum, and custom label systems to identify buttons and controls. They also discussed creating simple coding systems to remember which marks correspond to specific functions.
They shared personal experiences with using rubber bands and spice bottles to improve grip and organization.
Email and Final Thoughts
The conversation then shifted to a listener’s story about a humorous potty-training incident at Taco Bell involving their 3-year-old son, Matt.
He also read an email about a cousin borrowing money for an unethical reason, which he decided to help with. Keith then played a voicemail message, which Jill found interesting.
The final word from our AI companion
The group engaged in a casual and humorous discussion, sharing jokes and anecdotes. Keith shared a personal story about a failed attempt at surprising his wife with a dinner choice, while Jill and Terry contributed jokes about computers, food, and mythical creatures. The conversation concluded with Keith signing off and encouraging listeners to share the show with others.
