We're talking about value for value after our main portion of our main stuff from main stuff. So yeah, so this week, real quick. Do a little bit of what we've been up to focus a lizard in here again. Yep. Yep. Lizard got back in or different lizard. Not sure. But I think he's getting used to me grabbing them and putting them

I looked up. And on our orange marker on our board. There was a lizard. And you can tell he was like trying to turn orange. juice orange. But when I spotted him, he started sort of like slowly inching upwards. So you could tell he was still trying to turn orange, but he was just trying to get away.

Yeah, we'll put a picture that it'll be in the chapters right now. Dred Scott doing our chapters for us. Thank you so much. And yeah, so this week, we decided we needed to get out of it. This past weekend, we decided we need to get out of the house. And our downtown area and our nearby big city was really nice. It's really nice. Got a lot of nice places we haven't been to. So we decided to take a walk downtown and walk around, see what it had. And we found some nice, neat little

Me too succulents and a ZZ plant.

So when we talked about on the episode that we did with light bright from around the head around the edges,

yeah. Reference

refer. That's it. I was like I'm missing a word or feel bad now. So yeah, the downtown area we had a good time. And we've been downtown a lot, just driving back and forth to rehearsals for the Christmas Carol. And actually, I'm going to rehearsals tonight for rehearsals auditions to be in a radio drama of an of Green Gables locally here. I think that'll be neat. And plus, I'll get to network with some audio drama people. And that'll help out with MedusPod which just

And now, now, good news. The news is good, positive,

good, uplifting stuff. What's your lead anchor? Leila?

Ah,

wait, wait, wait. Fun Fact Friday news with your lead anchor. What's got ya.

So Portland. They have a new airport, built with local timber and is inherently fire resistant and less carbon intensive. All right, so they took the trees and there's this thing that they may call cross laminated timber, also known as mass timber and it It's kind of like plywood, but not. So it's like they took the long boards and they pressed it together crossways with glue, and heat, pushed it together real hard. And they made it strong, but also flexible. So that's pretty

the entire airport out of it. I feel like you'd need some steel beams in there. Maybe just because of the size of airports, you know? Oh, hey, good news, everybody. My Windows Defender didn't find any new threats since its last scan. Hey. All right. Well, my good news story isn't like so much like news, but it's like kind of a new thing that's going on. Some of our listeners are not as adamant as I am about the whole podcasting 2.0 and the decentralization and value for

chompers. All right.

So I've got it's all right there and the one that I'm gonna start at the top. Okay,

thank you. I was just gonna ask goes

is one of them. I want to make a joke about so I've already got a I got a pre loaded joke.

Okay, so whose pics are that? Are the object most often choked on? Yes. By Americans. America.

America. We don't we don't really use the regular Tuesday. We like the ones with the floss on them. They're just so much more. Someone's Yeah, cuz you get a little toothpick on one end. And then the other end. You've got some? Yeah,

those are fantastic. Good toothbrushes too.

Mm hmm. What's the brand gum, though? Okay. Yeah, that's that's my favorite brand of the floss picks because I've tried lots of them. Shred the

surgery. Okay, so easy. intercoms. Crystal works.

Cool. Yeah. So in a lifetime. An average American. Don't read it. You already probably read it. No, I hadn't. How much time do they spend brushing their teeth? And their whole life? Like, like in

two days? Nope.

38.5 days? 38 38.5. Okay, so if you Well, I mean, if you break it down. So that's what that's let's let's pull open. Good old Microsoft calculator. Oh,

okay. Let me let me check. Let me check. How many days are in normal year? Let me do the let me do the math. 365 days, 365 days? 365 times 80 average average life expectancy. 365 days. Okay. And then how many? Oh, crap. How many? How many hours are every day? Every day? 2420 24 hours. You know what, how many minutes are in every day? I don't know. Let me do the math. You're doing the math. You're doing the

math wrong. Okay,

I'm trying to do the math. Stop, please. I want to do it. Okay. How many? How many minutes are in an art? Okay, how many were through? So 60 minutes or

minutes matter? Two

minutes. Okay. Okay. 60 times 24 hours. Is okay 140 said how many are

my main monitor? Just one copy. It's weird. We're gonna

delete. We're gonna get

into 65 riveting content right here.

Times Fun Fact Friday

85 times 1440. That's no, no. Typed ad.

That's not how you do it. Wait. I don't you do? Why don't you do four minutes a day for no? Yeah, two more minutes a day four times 365 times

ad versus ad? AD. So that's okay. And then divided by 24. No, no divided by 365.

No. Okay, you know what, it's 38 days total. Let's just, let's just go with it. This is the segment's get a little longer because your math

4866. Okay,

so is that hours, maybe divided by 24?

Divided? I didn't 24 versus five, why don't you just

13. So okay, so why don't we do it the other way around? Yeah, you're just gonna get in the weeds with this and you're not going to be able to go to anywhere else yet. Are you? Okay? So 38.5 days, right? times 24 hours. Wait, okay, I

figured it I figured it Yeah. 1860 divided by ad 18.25 is what I got. What?

I don't even know what that means. Okay.

I know. I know. Okay. Okay.

dental health info reveals fascinating connection between our oral oral hygiene and our overall well being. For instance, did you know that the state of your gums can provide insights to your to heart to your heart's health? Yep. So, studies have shown that individuals with periodontal disease gum disease are nearly twice as likely to suffer from

to weigh Okay, now,

correlation does not equal causation. What what is causation? Just because two things are correlated does not mean they caused each other. Yeah, so just because if you look at like, the rate at which ice cream cones are sold, it also matches the rate with which earthquake quakes happened in Oklahoma. It doesn't mean that they caused each other in any way. Yes. You know, so. I mean, who knows? Who knows? I'm not a biologist. Okay, okay.

I was just thinking about it this morning when you're dropping me off at school. Okay. How I hate ope when people Oh,

actually, okay, we need a jingle.

So make me jingle Leila read. Now it's pretty lame. It takes 43 muscles to frown and it only takes 17 to smile. Look, I'm so mad about this because I used to get called. I used to get told this in elementary school. I would just have a resting face. They're like, smile. You're happy, right? It only takes 17 to smile and I'm like shut up for not my normal face to face looks. And like, it's so lame. Because why does anyone frown? Like when you're sad? You don't frown? You just have a normal face.

I frown. When like, when like your mom. Yeah, making a joke. Like when your mom is making some coffee. I'll walk in and do like, Huh, you know, I want to I want you to make me a coffee. Not I don't It's not that I want a coffee. It's that I want her to make me one. That's the whole thing.

Or when my band teacher gets mad at a saxophone section. I'm like, Yeah,

this is for it's for effect. It's so. Okay, so but I got so mad

it's just lame. It's just a lame expression.

You're what else is lame? What's not really lame? It's just something I was trying to segue didn't really work. roughly 25% of American adults have no teeth. What? No, I mean that that is a way higher numbers than I thought. Yeah. Wow. Is this coming from Omaha Dental? So Timo, you know, I

only made the connection, like a month ago. Yeah.

Because Omaha was in the news, Omaha. And

I was like, Oh, I didn't know that was a place and he was like, Yeah, Team Omaha's from Omaha. I was like

well, here's the thing though. I'm guessing

You're guessing

so you like to get significant? Anywho I'm pretty I'm pretty sure pretty sure but I don't so kids miss 51 million school hours a year due to dental related illness now I gotta I gotta I got a bone to pick. I got a bone to pick with this fact. There is not 51 million hours in a year. There's only 8760 What? So how is a kid missing? 51 million hours of school a year?

My math?

I wrote this episode we didn't. You didn't think you were coming into a teeth episode? I didn't do my teeth joke. Did your teeth teeth were invented in 1978 by Joseph teeth. After he was trying to chew something tough and his gums weren't weren't getting it done. So he picked up some pebbles and hammered Aman into this comps. Oh. How's that for a visual? Yeah, that's horrible. I apologize.

Since Wait, okay, hold on. But oh, yeah, that was your note? Yeah,

I did the little one common year equals three and six, five days, because I just wanted to have a note of how many hours

so if you go to the dentist every day year, it the year becomes longer to you. Actually, what 51 million hours? Oh, yeah,

you can do 51 million hours. So yeah. So this is this. Time goes time goes. Cheap is not? It's it's different of the code, actually. So a knocked out tooth. Do you know what the the technical term for that is? No, and Avulsed tooth Avulsed. The holes, a Wii U L. S ED

ripples.

It is a dental emergency that requires prompt attention. So here's the thing, if you get a tooth knocked out by force, you can actually sometimes jam it back in the socket. And it's good. Oh, you just put it right by

your little lamb. But this is

not medical advice, folks.

Oh, it's five by five. By the way, it's 5:35pm. So

I'm wanting to know. Yeah, you want to gently rinse it? If possible. Try and reinsert it into the socket or store it in milk, and then go to your emergency. Dentist. Yeah, you put it in milk. Why? I don't know. That's what the webpage said. And that's what I always fake. Well, that's what like, we used to have the dental hygienist, like cheerleader come into the school. And like with the big teeth, you know, and they show you how to brush properly and floss properly.

in their office. Yeah, it's like the little ones, but like size 10 Yeah.

It's a fun thing to have. But yeah, so they used to say, you know, if you knock out a tooth, put it in a glass of milk. And

that's what they told you because of calcium. But it's also just gonna like decay your tooth because it has like sugars

while you're running straight to the dentist. That's the trick. You're not like putting in the milk and waiting a couple days. Yeah.

But I learned that you can actually do that with fingers too, if you chop them off by accident. Like if you rinse it off and you're like oopsies and you go to the hospital like immediately, and you still have it like a bag. Depends

on how clean the cut is. And don't cut your finger. Just don't Don't Don't do this to test. Please, please. We don't I don't need that. Okay, so tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. And this is always something that like talking about Joseph teeth mechanizing 70 That was there was a either a short story or somebody was talking about it. And they were like, isn't it funny that we like take our food and we mush it together with rocks that are stuck in our face

are we rocks?

Well a tooth is so we're rocks tooth is essentially a

bone right so bones are inside of us. So are we rocks

it's a bone with an animal bone to pick it's a bone with enamel pick.

I choked on the toothpick because I'm an American I love what Association

did you know that tooth prints are like fingerprints. What everybody's is unique. That's why like they can they can't believe take a dental print of somebody and they can know who who it is. So if you if you don't know who it is, you don't I hate it. What are your impressions? You're on fire tonight I

have when you have to get impressions done to do a retainer. They don't have to do it now, apparently. But I had to have one done for my retainer for the surgery.

Oh, bite down on the thing and like leave it until it cures.

Yes. And it tastes like silicone mixed with. I don't like it. And I almost I almost threw up in the girl that was doing it. So she gave me like this gag spray that was just oral gel mixed with Kool Aid. That was a very cool ad day, but it was a great taste on Kool Aid.

You know what else to taste great. Less cargo. And did you know that a Smith snails mouth is no larger than the head of a pen and yet it can contain 25,000 teeth.

I love snails. Snails. They don't have do they have teeth? That's what the website says on their tongue. Is this is this just like faking us out?

It might be it might be Hey, if you're a smell expert or a dentist, snail teeth?

I don't think smells have teeth. Somewhere

no looking at us to look at that. Oh my gosh, that's horrifying.

It's so cool.

It's horrifying and amazing.

Oh my gosh, I love

you. Oh no. See this this says snails have

like those those sharks that are like open mouth open mouth shark. You know I'm talking about snails

usually have between 10 and 15,000 teeth. Some may have up to 25,000 generally organized in rows of 100 teeth per row. And it can be up to 25 rows. Some people have multiple rows of teeth. I've got a relative that does. Yeah. Did they got them all straightened out. Like bunch of them pulled and stuff so I can't

What do they call this is it basking sharks. The ones that just have the really open mouth. Oh, yeah.

I was basking was basking shark day the other day really? Yeah. It was on. We forget to celebrate our new Christmas.

Shark day. Walk around my open mouth. Oh,

we gotta. We gotta we gotta come up with traditions for basking shark day.

It's like if someone walks up to me. They're like, why is your mouth

Oh, man, my chairs getting squeaky

I know. All right. So maybe next week?

What if I told you that there was a tooth? sold at auction in London in 1816 for 3633 demeaning dollars. Be about $35,700 today. $35,700 today, so it was Sir Isaac Newton's tooth. I want it and it was set in a ring. Cool. And I thought that that was interesting that somebody had like saved one of his teeth. But then I read that in ancient times, people believe that baby teeth like you know your your teeth to fall out. Yeah. When your kid Yeah, that they had protective qualities.

What if they're like encased in the amulet? So like, you can't see it. And so it's just like wearing a relic from like, super old. Like they'll pass down? They don't know it has baby teeth in it. Right.

Well, I mean, as long as it's warding off evil, I guess we're gonna Yeah, I think we're good. All right, I think I'll read this last one here for mine and then you can do some. Let's see the first toothbrush was invented by a dentist in China named Joseph didn't know that in China a long time ago using tufts of wild boar bristles. And in a pinch, I'm told that you can use celery as a toothbrush kinda because it's all like stringy

wouldn't taste great. Wow, I have I have like minty celery.

I'm trying on you're fine with non minty toothpaste. Like it doesn't it doesn't bother me at all to use non minty toothpaste or the bubble gum unicorn toothpaste or like Listerine.

I like I like cool toothpaste.

I like the charcoal toothpaste and I like the the yellow Listerine or you know, off brand or whatever. The just the Antiseptic Mouthwash. That's not minty flavored. I actually liked the taste of that. Versus the well. I liked the meant to but no drain for you. I think it's just that's what we used forever. Because like, I don't know if it was cheaper or they just didn't have the mint flavored widely available when I was a kid, but I just didn't clear I remember always having

never used it. So it looks nasty and

it tastes like my childhood.

I'm so I hate. You don't want to

hate. You don't want to I hate mouthwash.

It hurts. I use it. It just really hurts. It's like fire. It's like someone threw a match in your mouth. I was like, deal with it for the next two minutes.

All that pain is the bad stuff dying. So I'm told, that's what I'm told to. I don't know if it's true. Might be a scam by big mouthwash. Exactly.

big liar. All right.

So woman, a woman. Name a woman.

A woman smiles on average 68 times per day. Meanwhile, a man smiles on average. Zero I'm getting eight times a day. You know why that is?

Why because men have to deal with women. Oh. It's like, it's like a boomer joke. What? know they're staring at your computer. Now.

Like, your like Boomer relatives would tell it like a family reunion and everyone would just be like, Oh, Grandpa, he's from a different time.

Oh, well. Well, it's like there was a I went down a rabbit hole one time about like, cartoons. Like not like animated cartoons but like, cartoons from the newspaper from the olden days. Yeah. And they were all just like, there were all so similar. Like it was always a joke. At the mother in law's expense, or

so a smile is a strong point of attraction. That's true. 61% of adults admit they are attracted to somebody smile alone.

A good smile is is does make somebody more attractive.

I got a silly smile. I got a tooth gap. And I got two pointy teeth next to them.
