 ***Welcome back! You made it to another edition of the Darren Marlar radio show. Coming up today, history creeps its way into our brain-on-drugs story. A doctor delivers a baby and then delivers her own baby minutes later. Also, what foods are millennials into? You would be surprised. Giving away money sometimes makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Other times, it can make you feel like a real in-duh vigil in our moment of duh. We have question impossible coming up. Also, do you know what's in today's Weird Holidays list? Do you? No? Well, then you're not psychic, and you won't be celebrating that is one of our holidays. All of that and a whole lot more coming up on the Darren Marlar radio show, so stick around. ***University of Michigan study found that if a child is misbehaving, removing his tonsils might help. Although, I'm betting just threatening to do that would be just as effective. ***It's the Darren Marlar radio show you can catch up with at any time at DarrenMarlar.com. Let's take a look at today's Weird, Wacky, Strange, Zany, Odd, Bizarre, Quirky Unusual Holidays. Today is Wednesday, August 2nd. You have 144 shopping days until Christmas. And today is Make Some Old Fashion Lemonade Day. You know, squeezing real lemons, using real sugar, real water. It's kind of interesting. When I was growing up, I thought lemonade was made just by adding water. That was the house I lived in. Everything was instant. Here's a question for you, though. Why do they use artificial lemon flavoring with the lemonade mixes? But then, they brag about how they use real lemons for cleaning products. Have you noticed that? If you want authentic lemonade nowadays, you have to use a twist of mop and glow. Today is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. Personally, I prefer mine on Puppernickle, but that's just me. And it is Psychic Week. It begins today. But then, if you're a psychic, you already knew that. I'm Darren Marlar.

In Indianapolis, when it came time for Mariel Slager Keller, a teacher at IPS Butler Lab School, to choose a flower girl and a ring bearer for her own wedding, the only kids that came to mind were her students. So she invited the entire class to be in her wedding. Twenty students walked down the aisle wearing all-white, carrying garland. Keller said the kids and their families were part of the whole wedding planning process with me and gave me so much support along the way they are a huge part of who I am and it would not have felt right to not have them there. She teaches a combination of kindergarten and first-grade students, so actually some of these students will have her as a teacher again this year. And boy, will they have a lot to talk about. Hey, by the way, we are creating a Darren Marlar radio show fan club. Yes, well actually it's a fan of the month club. I'm only allowed 12 fans a year. Hey there, I'm Darren Marlar. According to a recent poll, one out of five Americans are in favor of bringing back the gas chamber. Wow, sure, Justin Bieber gets on my nerves too, but that is kind of extreme, don't you think? I'm sorry that was highly inappropriate. We got our birthday wrap up coming up in just a moment. First though, cosmetic surgeons. They have identified a new phenomenon among our computer-reliant generation. It's described as computer face. I'm not kidding, it's a real thing. They've noticed that sagging jowls and eye wrinkles are pretty common on women who spend their days hunched over computers. The sagging jowls, well those are caused by constantly looking down and that shortens the neck muscles, making the neck baggy. Now the wrinkles they're caused by people who squint and frown when concentrating on their computer screens. So doing it for long enough, or often enough, it makes those wrinkles and lines permanent. Yep, yep, I can hear my wife right now tossing the computer out of the second story window. Hey it's Darren Marlar and if you live to your 80s, you will have acquired six and a half feet of nose hair during your lifetime. Aren't you glad you know that now? It's the birthday wrap up for August 2nd, 2017. Celebrating birthdays today, Hallie Eisenberg, that is. You might remember her as the little girl in the movie Bicentennial Man or How to Eat Fried Worms. Personally I remember her as the girl in those old Pepsi commercials. Today she's 25. The planet should feel old, doesn't it? From The Crow, Wicked Prayer and The Visitation, Eddie Furlong is 40 today. From Weeds, The West Wing, Fried Green Tomatoes, Mary Louise Parker is 51 and does not look a year of that. From Saturday Night Live and the hilariously strange movie UHF, Victoria Jackson is 58 and from Diagnosis Murder and Boston Legal, Joanna Cassidy is 72. Today's Question Impossible, what is the strongest muscle in the human body? A strongest muscle in the human body? I will give you the answer to that coming up here in just a few minutes. Hey I'm Darren Marlar and if you like scary stories, well you might want to check out my show Weird Darkness. In fact I just posted a new episode on my website last night. It's called the uh, it's called the uh, what's it called? I've already lost, it's been so long since I posted it. It's called the uh, the scratching. That's what, that's what it is, the scratching. I wanted to say that, it just would not come out of my mouth. Anyway it's actually nine different paranormal stories all in one episode. If you want to check it out it's weirddarkness.com. I should probably take a breakdown and try to get my tongue a break but anyway I do have something to share. Uh, you know we can't tell you that a good night's sleep most nights is going to increase your checking account bottom line or make you smarter um but it could very well make you healthier. So much healthier in fact you will live longer than those who skimp on sleep. Now I get this though it's not the sleep itself that keeps your heart healthy so you live longer it's the lifestyle that you're more likely to lead if you sleep well. That's the word for researchers at the University of Delaware they've concluded that the duration and timing of your sleep are closely associated with whether your behavior is heart-healthy. Sleep deficits and poor quality of sleep they've been linked to obesity and a myriad of health problems but the study shows that when it comes to promoting healthy hearts it's not a matter of getting more sleep it's a matter of getting adequate sleep at optimal times. Doing that seems to reduce the kind of behaviors those bad behaviors like smoking sedentary lifestyles poor dietary choices that put your heart in harm's way. The study found that those who sleep um was either if your sleep was either short or long and the night owls who went to bed later they those people were more likely than the adequate sleepers and those who went to bed earlier they those people were a lot more inclined to smoke remain sedentary and eat fewer fruits and vegetables so I guess the point in all of this is get enough sleep get an adequate amount of sleep go to bed at a decent hour yeah good luck with that. Giving away money well that sometimes makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesn't it? Other times though it could make you feel like a real in-duh visual like in today's moment of duh.
