Hello. Hello Guess what? What?
We have video now if we like it we got some we got some work to do on it. But we'll talk about that right after this fantastic song ends Hey everybody welcome to Fun Fact Friday where we got cast where we discuss fun facts around a different topic each week. We are live on Twitch right now. Yeah, we used to do Twitch back about 110 episodes ago, we stopped doing it because we didn't have a space to do it. But now we have the studio and we're gonna get back to doing
some video so we are producing this audio and video stream. It still needs some work. I've got to get the the backgrounds and I gotta get my little mechanical keyboard. Macro pad. My choco pad is what it's called. And I gotta get that working. So we can just have like little quick keys to change things up. But yeah, twitch.tv/fun Fact Friday one we may continue to on Twitch, we may add YouTube we may add no agenda tube, we may come up with our own video streaming service. I don't know.
I don't know. It's all up in the air. But welcome to Fun Fact Friday. Lita, what is our topic
woodwind instruments,
woodwind instruments. So like, like, what what is a woodwind instrument? Flute? Well, flute a flute okay. That's pretty much it. So until you started, you started playing the sax? Yeah, a week ago, when school started, you got got a saxophone, you. You started, you started playing. And I was thinking this is a brass instrument. Because it's made out of brass. But apparently it's not. It's because it has a it has a tiny little piece of wood.
It's a woodwind made of plastic. I mean, I made a brass.
That's a woodwind made of brass, brass tech. So when I started looking at woodwind instruments on the internet for facts about them for the show, I came across some some better stuff. But before we get going, this is a value for value podcast, we do this show for free, we put it out for free, we'll never charge for it. This show is free. If anybody's charging for it, you let us know, because it shouldn't be. But we do the show. And if you get some value out of the show,
we ask that you return the value back. You know, subscribe to us on Twitch if you use twitch. When we get the other things subscribe there that helps us out tell friends about us. Ratings and reviews on podcast apps don't really do anything to help the algo. But if somebody does come across it, those ratings reviews might help them decide to check out the show. let folks know about it. But you can also send in monetary donations. We call that our support. Because it's supporting
our our costs here. And we receive some monetary donations in the form of Satoshis through the value for value Lightning Network. You can do that on modern podcast apps that support it and go to new podcast apps.com. But last week, we had band drew on and Baroness Levin lights and it's 333 Satoshis and says thanks for bringing bandroom on the show and for the bad jokes. Yeah, that I don't. We're kind of out of that. I don't think they're bad. I think they're bad. Okay. So we also
got 234 Or five sets. 2345 sets from Kevin Halsey from fountain. Baroness Lebanon was also from fountain second best podcast in the universe. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, exactly. We
are the second best. Now. You
know what?
I don't know. We may have to fight John and Adam.
I'm ready for it.
And so So yeah, it says, second best podcast in the universe. But the most likable hosts all Thank you. Thank you. And then it says when we'll see SB chip in yo CSB is comic strip blogger. We've talked about him here before he's a he's very big on supporting value for value shows, and we appreciate him and he's got some really funny comics. Not all them are really funny, and they're not really for kids. So okay, and then we have from servo just a few minutes ago while we were on our
pre stream. Leila misac Phone. Leila was putting together her saxophone and servos and us from pod verse 3333 Satoshis saying sax boost for the saxophone, and she's doing pretty good. She's doing pretty good on it. She's doing way better than I would be a week and a half. Oh my
god. You know what's funny? What's fine. There's a kid in my class that's teaching me how to play saxophone. And he doesn't worse than me. He's been in band for two years. Well, one,
what do you think is worse?
It's, it's not worse. He's just on the same level as me.
Oh, so you're just
Yeah. Oh,
you know? Or maybe he just didn't want to hurt your feelings. Like show you the first week. Oh, who knows? So, yeah, so that's it for our Satoshis for this week. We did get one it might have been in the post show from blueberry for 17,007 76. I can't remember if that was in the show, or if that was in the post show. But we talked about the I think it was in the post show. But he had a question for band Drew and he sent it in for with Satoshi so 17,776 Satoshis. We also got
some Pay Pal donations. We got to let's actually do last week's first at the end very end of the last show after we had stopped recording. In the post show we got a very generous donation from Dwight the night. As a longtime contributor to the show. $33.33 nice from Dwight the night. Let's see if there's a note attached to this looking. There it is. I'm enjoying the show. Keep going. We intend to. Now I fully intend to do this show for a good long while. It may get really funny when Leila
gets her braces. Oh my god. She's talking like this. Oh, no, I don't want to make that noise in the mic. I won't. I won't,
please. Yeah, I'm getting my braces soon. I just got cleared for him.
Right. She's all ready to ready to become a brace face. And then yeah, and then we also got Oh, I lost the page. There it is. We received our monthly sustaining donations from Dred Scott for $19.12. And we call that the Oreo boost Oreo Oreo Oreo donation. And then from Steven Grimes so all longtime, longtime donors to the show they pay our bills every month for the for the podcast and and then some lets us buy some new gear lets us do video. All this kind of cool stuff. And we definitely
appreciate the support. All right, so on to the new welcome to Fun Fact Friday news with your lead anchor. Me Lila Blake. She's the only one who has news stories. I thought you had one.
No.
Well, that's just just one out of that out. Well, now I did. I did find something that I wanted to. I have that I wanted to talk about servos making a Simpsons reference in the chat. Leila needs braces dental plan. Leila needs braces, if you know, you know. But she shouldn't have to have them for too long.
Yeah, I did have like some crooked teeth and like any avenues get plenty fill it up.
So I spent a little bit more time on x.com than I should.
And he knows this because I've told him yes.
And on on there today, there is one one of the people on there that I see a lot of posts from historic vids as at history and memes as the username there as talking about a sheep named Shrek we got a sheep named Shrek who went
missing. That's really focusing anyhoo video. Yep. Shrek got away from his folks out in New Zealand and managed to live on his own for six years before he was eventually tracked down by his owner, John Perrier and parer and who had to say he looked like some kind of biblical creature when he got back. Some sheep breeds naturally shed their wool like bighorn sheep in North America. The type that Shrek was a merino sheep. They don't. So the wool just continued to grow and grow
and grow. And this sheep there will be a picture in the chapters if you're listening to this later this sheep is about looks like about three sheep standing all together clumped together but it's just one sheep have that much wool on him. So, in total after they shared all of it off once they found them and clean them up had 60 pounds of wool. Wow. You know that that had to be that had to be so much of a relief to get all of that wool off of there. Can you imagine? I mean, think about it
when you like you've got your hair really long. I don't know what this is like. But when you get your hair really long and you get a haircut.
Yeah. And if it was matted, which I imagine it is because wool, right. I've heard like a dog groomer, explain that. It's like having ponytails all over your body, like, tighter every day. And it hurts.
I bet. So, besides Shrek, there have been other instances instances of oh my gosh, this is hard to say. Other instances of unshared sheep. That's really hard to say. There was another one in Australia in 2015 with 89 pounds of wool 89 pounds, that's what I weigh. I weigh 89 pounds. Totally Yeah. My leg. But yeah, I just thought I thought that was a cool story. And then another thing I found this week while kicking around was this
honeybee College. And I'm gonna play the clip. If you're watching on Twitch, you'll see it and you'll hear it if you're listening to the show. And anytime now, anytime it wants to pull up, that would be fantastic. Here we can use honey
bees are sitting in a classroom, but what they'll be learning is not what you think. After being collected from the hive, the bees are placed in a container and then onto the fridge to chill. The cool temperature slows down their movement, which makes it easier to place them into these little harnesses. There's even a machine that can automatically load each bee into a harness. While the bees are given a six second exposure to an explosive vapor, they're given a sugar
water reward during the last three seconds. And after four rounds of training. The bees that stick out their tongue voluntarily after receiving the explosive scent are ready for field work. Multiple cartridges of bees are loaded into a handheld detection device. Inside the device. A camera or infrared sensor monitors the bees up close and can identify when he has stuck out its tongue. The handheld device is
used to test the air sample on the field. With a push of a button all the bees are exposed to the air in the bag for six seconds. A unanimous signal from all the bees points to a high likelihood that they've detected the particular type of explosive that they were trained on. And after a few days, the bees are released back to the hive to tell a story of their alien abduction these. Yeah,
I thought that was so cool, huh? What does it do? Okay, so if it wasn't wasn't clear from what he said, they take the bees. And they train them to sniff out explosives. So what they do is they they stick their face into whatever the smell they're supposed to detect is for six seconds. And then they put some sugar water on their face. And they look up the sugar water, right. And then they do this a whole bunch and train them that every time you smell that you're gonna get some
sugar water. So they start sticking their tongues out after they smell that particular smell. So what they do is they strap a bunch of these bees into a little, little detector device. And they like sucking little air. And if if it has that aroma of the explosive. Then the bees will all stick out their tongues if all of them stick out their tongues. That's an indicator that that explosive is present. So they're using bees to find bombs.
Bobby's Bobby's
isn't that that's a brand of something. Is it? Yes. I need to see what what a bomb bees is. Are you are you? Are you searching? Search looking it up. All right. So this doesn't have anything to do with woodlands. That's our show is I thought that that was a neat story. And it how do you think ethically about that? Does that make you feel? Open if you're in our chat, we're do live on Thursday nights in the IRC chat. We've got some pictures of the sheep. Yeah, he's so fun looking. Looks
like a chunky boy. It's what the kids say these days right. Now, I've got to close some of these windows. I've got entirely too many windows open.
I can't find a thing for it.
Can't find anything about bombI zombies. I think like it might be like a chapstick brand or something. I don't know. No. So let's talk about woodwinds. Okay, I want to look up woodwinds And, you know, I always like to look at the history of things. Yeah. And I found this site called Music. Owl brie.com. And it has 20 fun facts about the flute. Because the flute was like the first one. That's musical Bri, musical music. Musical Marie. Yes. Do you not know what to say? Yep, I know.
It's at the top of the screen.
Okay, okay. Yeah, it says musical. I like music Albery better. So Good heavens. Okay, so I started, I started looking at these facts. And musical Bree was one of the ones that came up and he told me that the flute is the oldest woodwind instrument and maybe the oldest instrument. Like they're talking like 300,000 years old. Right? Ridiculously old. And that's kind of because don't make fun of me chat. Because the definition of a flute is a tube that you blow into. And it
produces sound. Yeah, so when I get the paper towel tube and I'm like like I do, like you do. That's technically a flute. Is it? Yes. Okay. According to this side anyway. Flute the flute is technically any open tube that you will into to produce sound even an empty Coke bottle. Have you ever done that? Made sound that's a that's a can think I have any bottles out here. I got throw them all away. I had some root beer bottles, glass root beer bottles. I used to cook kind of like a homer into the
jug. But making that's to some some references for tonight. So the early earliest usage of the word flute itself was found in Geoffrey Chaucer's The House of Fame, circa 13. At like 650 years ago, right? I guess do you know? Yeah, what a person who plays a flute is called a floater. A what a person who plays a flute can be called a flute player. A flute player noticed a flute is a flutist flowers a flute or a flute or
or Eva? Eva? Eva. Okay. No, Eva,
Eva. A flute missed a flute miss.
Oh, sounds ridiculous. Flute,
Ernest. I've never heard that. But that's what I'm calling all of them from now on. So when we go to one of your band, concerts or something, I'm going to be like, Yeah, listen to that flute mist. Even though you're not you guys hear from a friend. Yeah, whoever your flute nest friend.
I have a friend that plays the flute. The
flute and his friend of all witnessed one of the first musical instruments ever, ever invented and has been used for 1000s and 1000s of years. ancient Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, Indians, Chinese and Japanese all had early versions of today's flute. The major Hindu deity Krishna, holds a bamboo flute, and has been said that Krishna created the world through the beautiful sound of the flute. And that the flute preaches love and freedom. So there you go.
flutes are very easy to carry around. Yes, because they don't have a read or anything. They could just be there. They can just carry around,
right? Unlike the saxophone, where it's like, this huge case and you have to disassemble it even get it into the case. And so it's a little ridiculous. Yeah, take
the neck off.
You got to take Oh, yeah, you gotta take the neck off. You got to take the
mouthpiece off the mouthpiece out of the mouthpiece. Yeah.
I didn't know you had to replace the Read as much as you do.
You don't? Oh, okay. What do you think?
Well, I mean, they they gave you like 10 of them. So I figured that's gonna
last me a while. Okay. So we have about 20 Because I have 10 1.5 and 10 2.5. I have used the two points lever band.
Okay, so they I mean, do they go bad and or is it just like, if you
treat them wrong, they can. Okay, if you use them right, you put them back in their case. They can last you for a little bit.
Okay, I don't know. What did you do? I accidentally click something. Here we go. Okay, so throughout history, flutes have been made of bone, ivory, wood, Jade glass, plastic. brass nickel, silver, gold and even platinum. Oh, yeah. Platinum flute.
Cool. So, for the saxophone.
Oh, I was just gonna say real quick. Servo says in chat that percussion probably beats the flute and age. Probably yeah. The first guy that was like, knocked on a tree. It was just like, Huh? That's like, there we go. There we go. As high as a bot right there. Are they still saying? No, okay. I'm trying to be with it, but they keep changing what it is third Simpsons reference. Go ahead. Squeeze as many Simpsons references as I can into this episode.
I only really know about saxophone reeds, because oboe reeds are really weird.
And I hate it. And what way are they weird?
Okay. Let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me explain flute I'm sorry, I was getting off at the tab. So I had to, I had to, say an oboe and oboe, yeah, look up or read.
Oboe reads. Let's look at an image. And we'll pull it up on screen here. Okay, so it looks, it looks like a a whistle of some kind.
I mean, yeah, that's what reads are. Well, it is a two sided read. So you go into it. And if I read both of them, okay, instead of having a mouthpiece so
it looks a bit like a duckbill. Yes. Okay, so if you're, we can buy one for $10. But I'm just trying to get an image of one pulled up. I don't care about cookies
or money.
Yeah. Yeah. So it looks expensive. Yeah, it looks like you took two of your reeds and push them together and then kind of like squeezed the side a little bit. So it turns into like an oval, which apparently is the best shape.
So in the middle of it, also, there's a little and you can't see it from that angle. But if you look at it, like from the front, it has a heart in the middle of it is what it's called. But it's just a little spot where they both are separated from each other and pretty sure.
Okay, so it has something in the middle that keeps them from sticking together.
Yes. That makes it makes your lips put them together.
That makes sense. I was looking for an image of that. Oboe? You said heart? Yes. Oboe read heart. Okay, okay. I see her. I see how it is. Yeah, so it's not. It is something inside of it. Yes. Okay. Gotcha.
You can see from that very neat, very neat. Very neat. I thought that was cool. It's like the only instrument that uses those. I'm pretty I'm pretty sure I don't know everything about woodwinds, obviously. But recorders I don't even I don't even know they're an instrument, man. There's so
definitely, it's like everybody can play the recorder. What?
You don't get the SpongeBob references
I never watched but neither. I watched either.
I still get them. It's mayonnaise is from it.
Getting from chat piccolo uses one two, I think. Okay, I'm gonna look up and see her piccolos
is Piccolo is just a smaller flute.
What?
I'm looking it up on give me a minute. Give me a minute. I got this. Yeah, Piccolo is just a smaller flute.
So do you know how did you find a picture? Yes. Okay, well talk about talk talk about it. I'm gonna take a sip
of my drink a piccolo is indeed a smaller flute. It is just a pickle. Okay, let me read off of the actual facts that are found in Piccolo is a small or half size flute is played the same way a flute is, but makes hybrid sounds. So it's an it's one octave higher than a flute. But it is a flute.
Okay, what do you do in terms of mic backup?
All right. So trumpets are those brass. Those are brass because they don't have any read in them. Dang it.
Yeah, trumpet trumpet is just made of metal. Trumpets while I'm sweaty. Yeah, it's like 9095 degrees out here. Trombone trumpets are three buttons.
Yeah, and you can make so much good noise the three buttons I'm so jealous. Why the 26 buttons.
Why didn't you get go with the I have three choices. Oh, that's right. That's right. They ran out. because he got there late
Yeah. so mad.
So we had we had some email come in a while back and the stream is kind of struggling right now because I'm trying to open up Outlook and apparently I think computer's gonna crash it's outlook is the most intensive program for for my computer to open up for some reason. So we got an email when Leila was talking trash about something. And we had we had an email come in and it says, From team from Team Omaha and it says, or a clarinet, but clarinets are lame, and
attributed the quote to Leila 2023. And Team Omaha says, I'm a clarinet player, but I disagree. Here's some fun facts about clarinets. Cool, Mozart loved the clarinet so much that He gave it a place in the orchestra. He's the one who put the clarinet in the orchestra. Yeah. The inventor of the saxophone designed the type of clarinet, bass clarinet. Who invented the saxophone.
Your Mama. No.
Let me look. She invented the guitar. So what do you do? What do you do? Are you searching for something?
I'm looking for the who made the saxophone
was obviously obviously split out. Joseph saxophone? Yeah. When was 1878? Alright, you close it up.
Yeah. All right. Okay, so 28th of June. Wow, this is really specific. 20 of June 1846 is when it was patented.
Okay, so there you go. So you probably worked on it for a couple days before that. He probably was like,
six years. But yeah.
So six years. Oh, boy.
26 buttons from what I counted earlier.
But 26 buttons are lovers. Yeah.
They're buttons. Yeah. They're all lovers.
Well, they're all a bunch because it's all just Yeah, mechanical. There's no, no electronics that I know of. So the biggest money the biggest clarinet ever made, was merely a few inches shorter than history's taller, tallest man. And it is the octo contra bass. Now that's a metal band.
To contra bass. Octo contra
bass, right.
Tell me more.
The smallest clarinet in the world was 14 inches, or 0.3 meters.
I mean, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. I have what? Okay, I was gonna pull it up.
I was like, wow, the octo contract.
I looked that up. That's what I'm looking at. It's pretty big.
Yeah, yeah, it's it's
in the closet of the band room. Yeah, you
could get it in there. You would take? It probably comes apart. It probably comes in lots of different pieces.
Oh, yeah. Probably. That's what all instruments are.
The clarinet is the only woodwind with a 12 note register. Are you sure you can, you can leave a large difference distance in the music with not too much effort. No other instrument allows this level of transposing versatility ever. Except the piano. Pretty much piano just maybe, maybe that fact just means, you know, with winds and strings. Yeah. But I now have that. I'll put that in the show notes for all of those
are super cool. And they have similar reads to saxophones just a little bit smaller. I'm pretty sure. I keep I keep saying I'm pretty sure. Like I don't know,
well, if you don't know. No, it's better to say I think or as I as I as I recall or something like that.
But I hate you or anything you
know what you're doing. But my camera is hooked to the table that Leila is sitting at and it's not a very stable table. And it's whoa, stop making a clip a lot on Twitch.
Do you even tell them what weapons interests are?
But I tell them what a flute is.
Yeah, you didn't tell us what one is. Okay. What, as the name suggests, are musical instruments that combine wood and Wind to air or air. To explain further in these instruments wind is blown through them in order to create vibrations, which then turn into musical notes. So that's what kid adl.com has to say about it. Let's see what ducks.com has to say about a dumpsters kid dad only use
one. Kid Atul. Is that the site you're on?
Sure. Music Albery so this is what dumpsters has to say about dumpsters. We used to use this all the time in elementary school to search for stuff. It's like a kid friendly. Chrome almost Google. woodwinds are a type of musical instrument that the that make their sound when a music musician blows air into or across the mouthpiece. So it's pretty pretty similar. Yeah, you know?
Yeah. I mean, we know we know it's a sort of wood. It's sort of wood wooden is it's
wood. It's wood when you vibrate it on your bottom lip, usually unless you're an oboe. Stupid oboe.
So when you're when your saxophone came in, yeah, and I put it all together and so it'd be nice and pretty for like when he came home it'd be like nicer to look at. I played it a little number one I didn't know you're supposed to wet the read. Number two, I thought the read went on the top. Okay, so I I did it wrong.
How did you do that? That wrong?
I didn't look at there was no instructions. None. That saxophone that we got for? Like 200 bucks. It did not come with any instructions. It came with a this
is you could have waited until I get home. Like it just showed you
wanted to play with. I know you did.
What do you think you were just gonna pick it up and you would magically start be like, what's his name? What's his face?
Kenny G Kenny?
G Yeah. You're practically gonna G right?
Prank. I'm pretty much pretty much Kenny J Me too. I'm pretty much cagey.
I am getting you soon.
All right. What are you gonna talk about our bossu
I'm gonna drink some more money a s s o n.
Are you live? Are you getting your facts live? Did you do any research for this soon? I like flute better.
I like food better do I'm not getting my facts live. I just have doctors open and I'm looking at that was the doctors that say that as soon as similar to oboe, and is low lowest pitch member of the double reed family. So it uses the double reed considered a bass instrument. So it's very low.
Bass.
What does it look like?
It looks like a bass.
Oh my gosh. I love these so much. Wait, okay, this. Oh yeah. It's like the little spaghetti.
It's like a Guinea noodle. It's a tube. It looks like a big, big tube. With like one little spaghetti noodle sticking out of the blue.
Like a huge, like a long Kaleidoscope with a little spaghetti noodle coming out and you eat it. You're, you're eating noodles at a kaleidoscope?
Why? Yeah, eating noodles out of a kaleidoscope?
Yeah, that's why bands gonna be called this what they called me in high school.
Is Yeah.
I was just talking image. I love this. monsoons are so funny looking. Okay, what about them? Best soon?
What's a Batum?
What's the Batum? What's a bathroom? Oh,
why are you shaking my tables? So?
I can't. A bassoon is a double read instrument that is the largest member of the woodwind family. We know.
We need a producer to handle all of your produce all this stuff. Yeah, but we need a producer. That's not me. Didn't get one. Hey, everybody. We need a producer to come over to our house on Thursday nights.
No thanks. Actually. No, actually, we don't need to tell them. Please.
That's fine. Yeah. No, it would be nice to have somebody to handle all the technicals while we're working. I get why people do it, you know?
Uh huh. All right. So it has nothing to do with woodwinds, but it does have to do with brass. What, what do you do
to to carry this? This is a gag that's gonna go completely over the heads of the people who are just listening Alright, it's good enough. There's a there's an end image of bassoons on the internet and I, I imported it onto our stream and we're fake playing. It was fun. Absolutely funny. Absolutely. When we released this on video, be sure and go watch.
Yeah. But anyways, as I was saying,
Jamie, what Jamie? Jamie is a producer for Joe Rogan. He's like Jamie, pull that up. So he was looking for a bassoon be like, Hey, I wonder what a bassoon looks like Jamie, pull that up. And Jamie be over there. Pull it up for them to watch on the TV. That's how Joe Rogan works.
Yeah, apparently. Is that you want a Jamie?
We need a Jamie.
I know no one named Jamie. A
new one in high school. Okay, so before I interrupted, what were you gonna say?
Okay, there's a there's a girl in my class. And she has he plays trumpet. But I watched her. They have a little thing on their instrument that they can click to like, it's the the spit funnel, whatever it is, you know, spit valve flip off. That's what it is. And they like, they like, push a button down and it opens those bit valve. And then they blow into it. Well, I watched a girl do that, like all over the band room floor and I was like, What? What was that?
Excuse me? I thought they were supposed to do that. Like, at the end of the day. Or like they're supposed to have a bucket. Like a bucket. spittoon spittoon. Yeah. You don't know what a spittoon is.
I thought people peed into that.
Oh my gosh. Yeah, it would be called a platoon. A platoon? Yes.
Splatoon what would that be?
Sir? Sir? Mo says he'll be our Jamie. For ruin board if we have a crawlspace actually, we do have a good crawlspace we got a really good we gotta like get the plastic under the house. There may be a dead animal under there right now though.
So we're gonna figure it out.
Yeah, a spittoon is this it's like a brass bucket. But it's like a bowl. Yeah, I've seen the collar. And you know what they were for? It was for people who chewed tobacco to spit spit out their tobacco. All right. They'd have been bars and stuff. Alright. was a big part of old Looney Tunes. cartoons. Maybe I want to thing I make the tick noise when I when I hit the
spit. I know. I know. It's super gross. We used to have one that we got from like an antique store or something that we put change in.
Get your change the tune? Yeah. Of course. Tune. Tune. Yeah.
baned. Appropriate You got any? That's Spain? Oh my gosh. So yeah. Splatoon which is brought up by the chat there. Servo. Really fun game on the Nintendo Switch. Speaking of Nintendo Switch,
I think Splatoon was originally on the Wii. And then Splatoon two was on the Wii U I think or no the switch. Sorry. May be I'm pretty sure.
Maybe I don't recall.
I remember playing it on the slap rune.
We got we got our Wii U shortly before the switch came out. So all of that that whole time. Kind of like meshes together for me.
What was Splatoon released on? Was it on the Wii? You know, that was Splatoon three Shut up Google. Someone clip that.
I remember Pikmin Pikmin on the Wii U Wii U
It was released on the
Wii. Okay, so it was when we first did like, like I said that whole era. I remember playing it was all a big blur for me, because that was one of trying to sell the old house and it wasn't you know,
will turn to was better than Splatoon. Well, I haven't played Splatoon three,
hopefully. Hopefully. What do you mean, hopefully the sequel is better than the original on a video game.
Yeah, I played it. Well, I'm
not. What do you mean? I'm just saying that if a video game comes out, yeah, no. And then they release a sequel to it. I think you would hope that the second word would be better.
Yeah, no, but I thought you were like saying it. No, I
wasn't saying. Oh, no, I wasn't doing no. Oh, yeah, we have three. We don't
have three on three. It just came out. I think. Actually. Two days.
