<v Speaker 1>She's got the mic, the moxie, and a brain full

<v Speaker 1>of Dr.

<v Speaker 2>Phil reruns. She's on me like a duck on a

<v Speaker 2>gene bug. But can you take down Katie in Pop

<v Speaker 2>Culture Smackdown? This is Katie Crush. It certainly is, and

<v Speaker 2>it looks like Grace made it through today. Hi, Grace. Hi. Hi,

<v Speaker 2>good morning. Welcome to the show.

<v Speaker 1>Good morning.

<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, thank you. It's my first time.

<v Speaker 1>I'm so nervous. I'm literally shaking.

<v Speaker 2>Are you literally shaking? Listen, if you shake too much,

<v Speaker 2>you might piddle your pants, so be careful.

<v Speaker 1>I might piddle my pants. We might need to do

<v Speaker 1>something about this.

<v Speaker 2>We're going to need to get you a towel. You

<v Speaker 2>got this, Grace. All right, Piddle Grace. I need you

<v Speaker 2>to tell everybody all about you. Who is Grace?

<v Speaker 1>Okay. Okay, great.

<v Speaker 3>I'm actually sitting here. I'm 21. I'm sitting here, and

<v Speaker 3>I am just listening to the morning radio, and I'm

<v Speaker 3>studying for my test that I have to take it to.

<v Speaker 1>I'm in nursing school.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, nice. So what's the test over?

<v Speaker 3>It's over, like, shock, and also it goes over, like,

<v Speaker 3>kidney stuff.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, nice.

<v Speaker 3>So I'm in my last semester, so the nerves.

<v Speaker 1>Are high already.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, well, I'm sure you're going to do just great.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you. I appreciate it.

<v Speaker 2>Katie, do you have any questions about kidneys? Oh, no.

<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get you too nervous about that.

<v Speaker 2>I want you to focus on the pop culture. Oh,

<v Speaker 2>no worries. No worries. Hey, is cranberry juice really good

<v Speaker 2>for your kidneys?

<v Speaker 1>Is what?

<v Speaker 2>Cranberry juice really good for your kidneys? Yes. My mom

<v Speaker 2>has always said cranberry juice is really good for the kidneys.

<v Speaker 3>Well, she sounds real smart because she knows what she's

<v Speaker 3>talking about.

<v Speaker 2>All right. Look at that.

<v Speaker 3>Good for her.

<v Speaker 2>Give us some other kidney facts. Come on. Wow us.

<v Speaker 3>Kidney facts, let's go.

<v Speaker 1>Oh, goodness. Okay, let's see. Well, right now we're learning.

<v Speaker 3>About pre-renal, intra-renal, and post-renal acute kidney injuries.

<v Speaker 2>I'm a fan of the post-renal. Yeah, I'm a fan

<v Speaker 2>of the post-renal.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, are you? Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah? I don't think so.

<v Speaker 3>That doesn't sound very fun to me.

<v Speaker 2>How many, let's say, quarts, how many quarts of fluid

<v Speaker 2>goes through the kidney each and every day? I'm going

<v Speaker 2>to say 200 quarts.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, see, this is– I don't even know.

<v Speaker 2>You're going to fail.

<v Speaker 1>You got me beat. I know.

<v Speaker 2>I know. How big is your kidney?

<v Speaker 3>How big?

<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe like a handful. I don't know.

<v Speaker 2>I feel like you could put it.

<v Speaker 1>In your hands.

<v Speaker 2>How much a kidney weighs?

<v Speaker 3>Oh, I'm going to say probably.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe like half a pound, I feel.

<v Speaker 3>You know, there's two of them. So I feel like

<v Speaker 3>it can't be too much.

<v Speaker 2>I think if I recall from my nursing school days,

<v Speaker 2>it's about five ounces. I could be wrong.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, see, you've got me beat.

<v Speaker 1>You've got me beat. I've got to add those to

<v Speaker 1>my practice questions.

<v Speaker 2>What kind of crap are they teaching you, Grace?

<v Speaker 1>I know.

<v Speaker 2>I don't feel very confident about you passing this test now.

<v Speaker 2>You're going to do great, Grace.

<v Speaker 1>You'll listen to him.

<v Speaker 2>You're going to do great.

<v Speaker 3>You got this. Thank you, Kate.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Katie. I only hear you.

<v Speaker 2>I'm a urine expert. I urinate a lot, Grace, so

<v Speaker 2>I'm very familiar with my kidneys, all right?

<v Speaker 1>Really?

<v Speaker 2>Okay, perfect.

<v Speaker 1>I love that.

<v Speaker 2>It's a problem I have. Please tell me all the facts.

<v Speaker 1>I might need it.

<v Speaker 2>It's a problem I have. All right, so, Grace, I'm

<v Speaker 2>going to give you and Katie the same five questions.

<v Speaker 2>Best out of five wins. Ties go to Katie. Do

<v Speaker 2>you have anything you want to say before you leave

<v Speaker 2>the room, Katie? Grace, I just want to let you

<v Speaker 2>know he is full of something over there. Oh, shut up.

<v Speaker 2>Good luck to you.

<v Speaker 3>That's all I need to hear, Katie.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

<v Speaker 2>Get out of here. And, Grace, I just Googled it.

<v Speaker 2>The average kidney is about five inches long and weighs

<v Speaker 2>about five ounces.

<v Speaker 1>What? What?

<v Speaker 2>That's crazy.

<v Speaker 1>That's pretty long. That's nuts.

<v Speaker 2>It is nuts.

<v Speaker 1>I like it.

<v Speaker 2>What's even more nuts is you're going to be a

<v Speaker 2>nurse and you don't know this basic information.

<v Speaker 1>I know. I know. Don't worry. I'm adding them into

<v Speaker 1>my practice questions as we speak.

<v Speaker 2>You're very sweet. Thanks for letting me have some fun

<v Speaker 2>with you. All right. So Katie went in the next room.

<v Speaker 2>She can't hear anything. I come up with the questions.

<v Speaker 2>So there's no cheating. We'll find out if you're right

<v Speaker 2>or wrong once we bring her back. But let's go

<v Speaker 2>ahead and do the first question. Please tell me, what

<v Speaker 2>donut company will give you a free donut for every

<v Speaker 2>A that you get on your report card?

<v Speaker 3>win for Krispy Kreme, so I'm going to go with

<v Speaker 3>that one. My grandma loves that one. I know much

<v Speaker 3>about that one.
