Hello. Fun Fact Friday Fun
Fact Friday.
We're the host. I'm David. I'm David.
No.
Oh my Reena, we
talked about No, Reena hasn't been introduced yet. Nobody knows she's here.
Oops. I'm Leila. Okay.
And as Fun Fact Friday we talked about different topic every week. We try and have fun, spray some facts all over the place and sometimes release on Friday. If you have any corrections topic ideas, or you just want to chat mail FunFactFriday.com
So is us today you go we have Reena rhymes with Leila Yes, a
little bit. It's up there. So Reena. I was going to introduce you but I decided I'm gonna let you introduce yourself. That way you can put forward what you want to have put forward. I
am the host of another daddy daughter podcast called Daddy
better called Daddy. I've been listening to it and I'm enjoying it. You've got some really good guests. Yes, some good questions. Better. Oh, who was the guy? I'm terrible with names. He was he's disabled, but he's an athlete. Diane Clark zankel. Okay, yes, that was an excellent episode. Very inspirational guy. And just his attitude. And you can tell that him and his girlfriend just have a great relationship. I just thought that was great.
Yeah, he was just on America's Got Talent. And he is a Guinness World Book record holder. And he is a very sweet guy. I love that episode. Because each one of my kids got to and I have for God to introduce themselves to him. So it was fun to involve my kids in that episode. That's
great. Yeah, we're we're the only two dad daughter podcasts that exist. Yeah, so like it was destined now there's I actually know a few people that
actually don't know too many and they're gonna have to have you on. I love daddy daughter pairs. That's very cool.
We just a quick I don't know how much of our show you've listened to. But we started in spring of 2020 You know when? When that that that event 10 when that event was going on? You know the before times. But yeah, we we got started because I'd be driving her to school. And on Fridays, I'd be like, what did you learn this week? Give me a fun fact. And became Fun Fact Friday. And then I was like, Yeah, we should do a podcast where we literally just get on no intro No, nothing, say
one fact and then get like a one minute podcast. And then it turned into you know, we're doing regularly in our episodes or whatever. But it's it's evolved but kind of kept the same formula. We add segments take segments away. We did video for what, 20 episodes or so. Yeah, didn't really have it. Yeah, it was. It was a lot of extra work for not any extra listeners or engagement or anything. So we just kind of went back to audio. That's where our bread and butter is. Yeah. So that's your video
still looks good for those who can't see it.
Yeah, we're we're for those who haven't hopped right now ever seen pictures of us. We are so ridiculously good looking. Yeah, that we felt that it was unfair to everybody else on the internet for us to do video going. Yeah, that's the real
we would break the cameras because of how pretty we are.
So what we've been up to this week, what have you been up to Leila?
Oh, nothing.
You've been sewing.
I've been sewing that's about it. Yes.
She's working on her strong doing strawberry dessert. Miku
strawberry X Miku. The 15th anniversary version.
Yes, it's coz cosplay outfit that she's doing for a convention we're going to. And it
has like six skirts, and that's a lot of skirts. And
she's doing them all from scratch. So it's a thing
you taught you to sew me the internet.
I learned how to needle and thread a bobbin from the internet. I figured everything else out.
She has been she's been she rearranged her entire room to get this to work around where the sewing machine is like the main thing this like, I had
my craft desk like underneath my bed because um, I had a loft bed. But that wouldn't really work with my sewing machine. So I bought a regular bed and put it in the corner. That wasn't the only reason I bought a regular bed. But I put the craft desk like opposite from it with the sewing machine on it and then I put my dress form next to it. And I put a shelf next to it to keep all my stuff on. It's a lot. It's all from my sewing machine. My $100 Sewing Machine nonetheless.
It's not even yeah Mmm,
I might get a better one. I haven't even money
have been working really hard on my other show me this pod. I've got five episodes in production. Now I've been getting with my actors and getting because I want to get a few in the can before I release another one so I can have a regular release schedule. So if you're not subscribed to meet us pod, go subscribe to that and should be some new episodes coming out very very soon. So that's what's going on. Are you thirsty?
I'm thirsty, and I brought a lower level.
Oh, wait, no, crack it open. Thank you. Okay. So since we have a guest, we are going to skip the good news segment. Sorry, y'all.
I couldn't find anything good.
Yeah. That's the real.
I looked everywhere, I promise.
So why don't you give us the premise of better called Daddy, because it is a great premise. I really like it. Maybe?
Yeah, so better call daddy is kind of bringing back the family values. I felt like I grew up with all of my grandparents. And I'm super lucky. I didn't realize how lucky I was. I grew up in Kentucky lucky in Kentucky, with four grandparents and many great grandparents. And my dad has always given me a lot of advice. He is who I call for relationship advice, taking client advice, pretty much anything that I'm struggling with. And I was like, wow, I
would love to share his wisdom with the world. And I knew he wouldn't back out on me because my dad is like always who I call he's loved me through all of my chapters. And so originally, my idea was share my dad's wisdom with the world. But turns out every guest that I have on my show, I interview a wide range of guests that from daddy's girls to inspirational fathers to people that have daddy drama in their life. I've kind of gone
with those angles. They've been upping our wisdom rating, and there's nothing better than having a project with your dad and your 40s. I mean, really, at any age, but like something positive that we can create together. has been so amazing for my wife. Yeah,
that's awesome. Yeah, that I liked the dynamic that y'all had, like Sava watched, I've watched, mainly listened to I listened to most of the shows that I listened to like, while I'm doing housework and stuff. And y'all is dynamic. I hope that Leila and I hold the dynamic that we have through her whole life, you know, as long as I'm around, which will probably be another, you know, 100 years, 100 180 years.
Amen, amen. But
yeah, it's just it's a really great dynamic on the show. And I really enjoy listening. I like how you, he's not in the show talking to the guest. I like how he listens, and then gives his perspective. That's awesome. Yeah, it's, it's really, really cool. And I like the premise of it. And that's part of with Fun Fact, Friday, it started off, we're just gonna do a few episodes, which was just a fun, fun gag thing to do. But we found out we really enjoyed it, we got a boost from
a very, very large show called no agenda. The hosts liked the show, and they played like a three minute segment of our show on there. So they have huge hundreds of 1000s of listeners. So we got a real big boost of listeners from that. But, you know, once we got the boost and listeners, donations started coming in, and we were like, Oh, wow, you know, this is not going to cost us anything to do. Because our supporters covered
this server costs, cover all that stuff. Yeah. So we're like, well, let's just keep doing it. And now we just it's like, part of my highlight of my week, you know, I get to go hang out with Leila, this is the only time we talk. Yeah, totally. We don't ever talk, except for our weekly show together. And, um, but no, my secret motivation is that I now have, as of right now, 171
episodes of our life, because we do that. What have we been up to par, you know, that I can go back and listen to when she's off, you know, doing her thing. I've got a chronicle of the last three, three, almost four years. So, and for everyone,
we get so special and truthfully, you're creating your legacy together right now.
And, yeah, we we have a good time doing it. And so it's fun. And yeah, so that's part of it. Now. That's your show now. But we're gonna grill you about your past about your past 1997
Oh, no.
You were at a gas station. And you wanted a Snickers bar but you didn't have enough to pay for it. We don't know I don't I don't really think you've worked on reality television shows However, however the thing on your Internet Movie Database profile, which will be linked in the show notes that caught my eye was Team America World Police. I don't know what that is. Is that like a puppet? Should Leila be watching that as I mean, she's 13 Oh, she probably.
That was the South Park guy. No.
week I quote that movie weekly. Yeah.
No, get me to curse.
But yeah, well, we'll leave that one alone on the you know, because of our listener base. But um, yeah, the reality shows my wife is a huge fan of court shows. She, when she, I
think she's watched every episode of People's Court, right?
She loves she, when she has her lunch. Yeah, it's all on YouTube now. So like, she pops on YouTube and eats or lunch. And, you know, that's it like, and I'll be out here in the studio working on the days that she works at home. And she's like, Hey, I'm about to make myself some lunch. And I'm like, do you want me to join you? Do you want me to come in? I'm working on something and she'll be like, no, no, no, no, no, I'm telling you. So you will stay out there because I want to
watch people's court and eat my you know, whatever. She's making me Nene or whatever. And I'm so late. Yeah. She had a couple of questions for you. Me. Oh, her? No, my my wife your your mother. Phaedra. The silent third partner of our show. Yes. What was the craziest case you found when you're scouting?
Oh, that's such a good question. I have to say it's competitive out there in grabbing these stories that because all the television shows go to the major cities and major courthouses. So one, you have to become friends with the clerk so you know when there's like a good stack of cases and then to when you get there, you have to kind of know who your competition is. And then if you get a good story, you better scan it quickly and have direct access to LA to be able to send
it off. So one time I came into this story, I couldn't even believe it. Somebody was suing over ordering the wrong crossbred animal. So they ordered as the donk and they got as the horse what?
Hold on. Some of those words don't make sense. And the ones that do make sense don't make sense in that order. So what Okay, Z donk. What, so that's
a zebra donkey. Okay, and the other one is the Z horse, which is what they got, I believe, okay, which is the zebra horse. First of all, I didn't even know that like crossbreeding animals was like, a loud or a thing. Like,
I mean, I know like, what's it called?
I don't know. A lion, a lion and a tiger, a lion. You Yes, you can have a lighter. And then you can also have a tie in. Depending on if the father was the lion or the father was the tiger. It's different. It comes out different. There's a fun fact
inspired fun facts around prosperity.
You know, why did genetic mutations we did do genetic mutations. We got 171 episodes before this one. So we've covered a lot. I'm actually going to put crossbred animals in our, in our possible ideas, because sometimes we'll think something's a good idea. And then like, we go looking for facts for it. And there's just not enough for for an episode, we have to pad the episode out with, you know, hilarious
banter. So part of the fun facts thing, some people might not know how the court shows get their cases, and they are actual cases that are filed with courts. And correct me if I'm wrong, but you go ask them if they will drop the case. And then have it arbitrated by the judge on the show. Very good. Yes. Okay. Correct. Okay. So and then
it can't have been tried already, if they want to be on the show. Okay. And they have to be okay, with whatever happens that's determined on the show,
right? And then that the thing that's determined on the show can be simply for the entertainment of it, not the actual justice thing.
Goes to paid up to a certain amount. But that's why we focused on small claims because right obviously, yeah, beyond a certain number, they're not gonna pay that
I was reading up on it. And I want to say it was cracked.com. I'll see if I can find the thing to put in the show notes. If I don't it's own cracked.com It's, they say that like,
when something bad Hold on, no.
cracked.com is a comedy website, but they actually have a really good article sometimes. And they always put a funny, funny twist on it. But like, if let's say, I'm suing somebody for $3,000, there's a pool of money that both of the people split. So like, let's say it's 10 grand, each would get five grand. But if I win the three grand that comes out of the other person's thing. Is that correct?
That sounds right. So I did work on a couple different shows. So
okay, they may do it differently. Different Yeah,
but that does sound right. Yeah. Cuz, ya
know, because like, sometimes when they're upset that they're lost, they're just like, oh, well, whatever. I'm still getting, I'm still getting something and I got to come to New York,
or wherever. Usually, you know, small claims are, like, hard to collect from people. So if you come on the show, like, you know, you're gonna get something.
Yeah. Cuz it's like, the judge is like, Oh, you owe them $400. And he's like, I don't have $400. Like, well, when you get $400, you have to give it to them. Okay.
Whatever boss sent me a warrant looks like I'm
getting paid under the table from now on. Okay, and then my wife Phaedra. Also had, what do you think out of your whole career and reality TV? What what episode was the best that you were a part of? Like, like that? You're just like, oh, wow, that was that was the best that I've ever worked on.
It was actually one of the stories that got me promoted. So there was a fort. This might get me in trouble.
get you in?
Here. I'll keep it is G rated as I can.
Okay, and we can always bleep things we got hold on. We said we've got this. We got
Yeah, there was a 14 year old girl that didn't even leave her name. This is when people were calling in when 809 Six year eight to leave a story idea. Okay. She, she
Oh, we're gonna have to cut that out. So like, I'm gonna cut that out. And then I'm gonna leave that part. And then I just totally, totally, no, yeah, well, we'll have to. We'll edit that out. No worries.
So yeah, me to come up with another example. Yeah, yeah. Okay,
so yeah, right around 17 minutes. I'll have to do a little editing on this episode. All right. So the first story that Reena said we cannot air so that's what that little obvious edit was. So Reena is going to come up with a better one that's, you know, more family friendly.
Well, Jerry Springer was not necessarily family friendly. Right. There was another guy too that has currently been featured on Howard Stern, this is not really G rated either. I have one more if this one doesn't pass the test. Did
you work on like a nanny show? And
should I think about that. So I worked on the post production side of nanny. Well,
yeah, if you had anything to do with the episode, that's what we're talking about. She did you know, and this will be great. This will be great for for my wife. She's gonna listen to all interesting.
Here's, here's the kind of heartwarming one. Okay, from this Springer is this. This was a very memorable interaction and kind of heartwarming, but we had conjoined twins on the show. Oh, wow. And one of the conjoined twins wanted to date. So we took them on a date with a guy to a bowling alley. And that was very interesting to see. And kind of forming. Yeah, that can conjoined twins find love if one isn't interested.
And always thought about that. So
that's heartwarming. And then recently, on my podcast, I interviewed a guy who this is also super heartwarming. Jerry had a 70 pound baby on his show. His name was big baby Zach. And then 20 years later, they did a reunion episode with him. And he has been featured on Oprah inside edition Jerry feel like I was like, Oh my God, you had a 20 year reunion, or a 20 year reunion with Jerry too. I would love to have you on my podcast. And just hear kind of the behind the scenes of that. Like,
did you I mean, do you come on? Yeah. Awesome. came
on. That's awesome. Told me that behind the scenes, Jerry, like helped him find his geneticist, and that he was like very kind to his mom and helped him figure out kind of the medical condition that he had and even like, helped them financially a little bit. So that was like a very touching story and amazing closure. And I didn't know that.
Yeah, that's that's really cool. Yeah, from from all accounts that I heard, Jerry Springer was just a great guy, like everybody that I've ever heard that met him or you know, anything like that, just like as a person. You know, you can talk about the merits of the show, but it was popular. It was popular and it was fun to watch.
So yeah, it was I really feel like the birth of reality TV. Right.
Right. And that was one of the things that you had talked about with him on your podcast, and I I better call daddy. The Jerry Springer episode. You talked about if you worked on that show and reality TV, you could go anywhere. Because chaotic it was
that you got that that was so key in that interview to me. It just really supported everything that I had felt for like the last 20 years. It was like such an endorsement. I was like, yes, thank you for saying that. I've led with that in my career, but to hear it from the man.
I went to the University of Jerry Springer. But yeah, I mean, and to a lesser degree, it's like, I want Leila to work in the foodservice industry, at least for a little while, like be down in the trenches, waiting tables, certification,
probably next year university I think there was McDonald's university.
Well, I mean, I went I worked at Outback. And I tell you, you learn a lot. You learn how to sell, you learn how to just take the worst. The worst insults from people and smile at them the whole time. You learn a lot waiting tables.
About the human world Dairy Queen. Right? For two years. That's how I bought my first car, but time in my life. And yes, you might the thing that stayed with me was God, time to lean got time to clean.
Oh, well, we had, we had flashing red lights that would go off every two minutes. And if you were in the kitchen, when the lights went off, you had to wash your hands. It was just like, because they wanted to wash your hands constantly. Which you know, that's great, because we're all about cleanliness in our, in our outback. And it was just something I remember that that red light. So like even now I see a red light. Did one of the spinny ones. And I'm just like,
look for a sink. You know? It's just like things stick with you, you know? Wow. And I've always also one of the things in the restaurant industry that that I learned was that 30 seconds can mean up to and including five minutes. How long that stick? 30 seconds. Yeah, give or take. Give me a give or take five minutes. Yeah. Okay, so that was it for Phaedrus questions. I think Leila's got some questions, and they're more about your podcast.
Yeah. I do have one about shows. Yes. But what was your favorite sort of you've been a part of
that is, I mean, I have to say Springer, because it was like my training ground. But aside from that, I mean, I've kept in touch with so many people from each show, when that was crazy. And I probably only could have done in my 20s like Springer was a show called Kill reality, where it was reality stars from a bunch of different shows. So ones that had been on survivor, Amazing Race apprentice, and they all lived in a house together. And then they got an opportunity to star
in like a Hollywood feature. So we filmed them around the clock in the house that they live together, which is where the majority of the drama went down. And then we filmed them in the making of a Hollywood feature. Can you imagine it was so comical? Wow. It seems
like that's that seems to be a formula that works across the board is take people that you know, have big personalities. Yep. And make them live together and just put cameras everywhere. Yeah, but like people at oh my gosh, there's some of the most you're gonna get gold. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. I'm just we go off topic a lot. One of the shows that I liked, recently, last couple years, I can't remember exactly when it came out. It was snowflake mountain. Are you aware of that?
I feel like I've heard of it. So they took my mind. They took a group
of influencers who are trying to just be influencers, like be the biggest, you know, wanting to be on reality TV want to be big stars without doing any work. And they, their parents basically sent them on a trip with some survival experts. Okay, they told them they were going to a party house that some billionaire was making a reality show where basically they
partied 24/7 for like two weeks. But in reality, they went to live in tents out in the woods for two weeks with these survival people where they had to collect their own food, clean out their own latrine make fire, skin animals, you know, all that stuff. So it was very funny watching these people who've never lifted a finger have to try and survive. I thought that was really interesting. And again, all of these people were influenced or type people so they were all very, I'm the
center of the universe type people. Yep. So you throw a bunch of those together, and they all are, you know, they're at each other's throats about things. It was it was just it was really entertaining reality TV. So,
go I love it. Do you think that you would agree to something like that?
A survival thing or a party thing? either or survival yes party. No, I'm not a partier. I will go to a party. Given that, you know, it's not going to be more than a couple of hours. Because I'm an old man, I'm out of shape. But it's survival stuff. Yeah, I'd love to go out in the woods for a couple of weeks and just live off the land. I think that'd be amazing. But I was also a big fan of that show survivor man with Les Stroud. That was an excellent show.
I worked on one season of amazing race, but I was to the executive producer. And it's amazing. When you have that role, you're literally just catering to their personal needs. But let's be a contestant on that show. I thought that
that would be crazy. And I was also thinking like, who would be a good partner, like you need somebody who's like, good at directions, somebody that's physically fit somebody that can handle traffic and last minute switches, it'd be hard, I feel like to pick, I think my husband would be good.
I've always thought I'd be good to go there. I'm, I love puzzles. And yeah, so a lot of the challenges that they have on there, I'm like yelling at the screen. I'm like, No, you just gotta. And then I think my brother would be a good partner. Because he's very, he's physically fit. And you know, he's very bold, you know? Yeah, I'm more cautious. So I think with the two of us, we could probably probably get pretty far. But you know, real life. Yeah.
So how did you learn about podcasting?
How did I learn about podcasting? That's a great question. So I started in college, working at an NPR radio station, where I kind of learned how to edit audio, how to run a radio station manually. So I would say that I got some skills there. But then I was a co host, on a podcast called next level people about five, six years ago. And originally, I was just casting guests for the show, I was friends with the host, and he was looking for somebody that could help him grow his show a
little bit and bring them new guests. And then he was like, Hey, would you like to co host this? You know, it might be interesting to have your perspective. And I loved it so much that it kind of like, re sparked that. And then I worked for a couple of podcasters. So it was just all of these building blocks first working in radio, then casting a show, then co hosting a show, then working for some podcasters that had some pretty decent sized audiences and booking them some
big guests. And then I was like, Hey, I'm doing all of the steps. Let me try
this. Exactly. And then you start looking at microphones, and you're like, ooh, those are expensive. Yeah. We found? Well, we'll talk we'll talk mics after the show. But um, yeah, we I started my show meet us pod in 2014. I'm only on like, Episode 21. It's kind of a whenever I make when I make one. But this year, I'm planning on putting out at least 15 or 16 episodes. Like I said, I've got a bunch in the pipe, working on it. And I've just kind of learned I like I write my own
RSS feed. I do all this stuff manually, we self host everything, so we can't get cancelled. Our hosting, our hosting is actually done on the interplanetary file system, which means that we have like 90 or so nodes around the planet with volunteers who host our files for us. And it's kinda like torrent, but not. So when you go to listen to our show, it's pulling parts from 90 different nodes. And which means that even if our entire infrastructure goes down, our
shows are still available. So it's really neat. Let's look a little bit. I actually had a prepper company for about two years. Meet a strategic survival LLC. But that didn't work out. So yeah, concealed carry instructor firearms and all that stuff. So but yeah, that's, that's my journey for that. So Leila has another question.
I do have one more philosophy. Okay. How? Oh, what do you talk about on your podcast?
Oh, that's a great question. I would say I have a wide range of topics. Although I have been kind of leaning into the daddy angle. I sometimes go after news stories. So I interviewed a girl who I saw went viral because she went in for a mammogram and she was told it was a benign cyst. And then a year later, she was in stage four cancer my mom is a cancer survivor. So I wanted to cover that because it really hit home
and it's something that I am personally worried about. And I kind of wanted to spread awareness around breast cancer and it's also something that my dad had to live through. So I I've covered new stories. I also since I've worked in reality TV, I love connecting with other creators and people who have worked in reality TV, I've interviewed the host of the
judge Alec show Jewish matchmaking. Just if I see a show that I love Indian matchmaking, I interviewed for people from Indian matchmaking, because I watched the series with my daughter. And I was like, Oh, let's see how many of those I could get a hold of right. And maybe they'll tell their story on my show. So
I think yeah, matchmaking is an interesting, interesting thing. Like, my wife and I were about to hit 20 years, in March. So we look at the dating, how it is out there now. And you know, I see what's on social media, I don't see what the real world. But just from what I'm seeing on social media, I am so glad I'm not dating anymore.
It's not easy. And I feel like during the pandemic, a lot of people stayed inside. And even with my own children, I'm a mom of four, I see my kids on electronics all the time. And my
oldest son, he's 15. And I saw during the pandemic, his only like community that he was really involved in was like gaming, I am so glad that they're back to school and that two of my kids have joined the basketball team, and that they're in the real world and making friends and going bowling and doing things like roller skating and ice skating and experiences. I think that it's so necessary to I mean, it's
great to connect virtually. But it's also I tried to mix it up and I'm meeting somebody in real life that's going to be on my podcast tomorrow for coffee. I like to do live interviews as
well. We have our first in in studio guest coming in coming over tomorrow. driving about an hour and a half. Yeah, Tomorrow is Monday, today's Tuesday. It's Tuesday. Monday was a holiday Monday was a holiday. That's why you think it's Monday because it was your first day back to school. Oh, crap.
I gotta do some homework.
So let's do tomorrow. Okay, well, just a second. Yeah. Yeah, Elijah Moore's coming down, and he's gonna, we're gonna have some chili, I'm going to cook some Texas style chili. And then we're going to come out and have the have the studio setup for three people instead of two. And we're going to do our first in studio interview, because I'm going to pod fest Expo next week, I'll still post our episode, our normal time for
our listeners. And so the episode will come out with Elijah, we're gonna record tomorrow, but it'll come out next week. So if you donate or support the show this week, it might be you know, two weeks before we give you a shout out. So but yeah, reality TV, I could, I could sit and grill you on it for for hours about like just crazy stuff that happened or just like the, like you were talking about your Associate Executive, Assistant, producer, associate producer, okay.
Or executive assistant, I honestly have tried pretty much every role. And I think that, again, all of those skills kind of build on themselves. I've been an assistant editor, I've been a post production supervisor, I've been an associate producer, a producer, a script supervisor, the more rolls you try, you figure out what you like, and what you don't like. Right,
right. And so like, how many of those is just like you were talking about, you're pretty much okay, go get me a coffee. Like, because like, I see these I see these rolls. When I go look at the credits for shows and stuff. And I'm like, I bet that guy is just in charge of like cleaning the whiteboard, when they're in the idea room. That's his job.
Interesting is even as a post production supervisor, my first post production supervisor role, I still got the star editor a coffee, because if you're willing to do that as a boss, then people are willing to go the extra mile for you. So I figured out as a post production supervisor was nobody liked doing their time cards. So instead of hounding people to do them, I was like, Look, I'm going to fill out your hours. I know the days you're here, I'm here. And then you can just sign it. Yeah,
I've managed a couple places than like, you know, store manager, and I always put myself on the bathroom cleaning list, the trash duty list. And I would actually put myself more than any other employee individually, like I would, you know, just because like, they see you, you're willing to go in there, scrub the toilet because it needs to be done. Yep. Then
they aren't going to complain about it as much. They can't be like, Man, you never have to do any of this stuff and you get paid more, you know, and it's like, if you are willing to get in the trenches, But from what I've heard with production, I don't know if this is just a union thing. I don't know if your union I'm not okay, so I wouldn't ever, but the, like, if the star of a show, if there's like a chair, and they like they can't move that chair, like if they want to scoot it over.
You're right, like too few. Yeah, that's ridiculous to me.
It's so funny to like, recently, a couple of months ago, there was an executive producer in town friend of mine, and he was inviting me out to dinner. And then he also asked, like, is there anybody local that could drive him to set and it was like an hour and a half drive. And like, you know, me who's worked every position, I'm thinking to myself, I would do that. But let's just keep this a producer relationship right now. But in the back of my mind, I'm thinking to myself, well, you
know, let me help out somebody. Right.
Right. I would do that. And it's just, it amazes me that, like, the union rules are so strict that like, you can't move your chair because like, the sun is hitting you in the eyes, you have to call somebody. And if that person is on break, you've got to wait 15 minutes and holds up everything. And it's just like, wow, wow. So but you can't take that guy's job away from them. Because that, you know, that's his job is moving that chair. So good. So, we are running up on the 37
minute mark, we can continue talking. But I did want to thank some of our supporters. We did not have any Pay Pal come in this week, but that's fine. We do have some boosts we do. Now, since you're a podcaster and I spoke to you earlier and you do not do boosts or lightning payments. I'll give you a quick explainer. Plus it's been a while since we've done it on the show. Podcasting 2.0 has a new set of specs for podcasts, chapters, transcripts, pod roll, which is like the old blog rolls
where you can basically suggest other podcasts. Our chapters are actually done by one of our listeners, Dred Scott, thank you drab. He goes in after we produce the episode and creates your chapters for us and puts in artwork and puts in links to things and and all that. But one of the main things that we like about podcasting 2.0 is the value for value system, modern podcast apps like fountain.fm curio caster pod vers pod friend, they have a feature where you can do what's called
boosting. And you can load your wallet up in the app with Bitcoin. And when you're listening to a show, if I say something hilarious as I do, like 15, or 20 times per episode, they can hit the boost button and send us what's called Satoshis, which is the smallest subdivision of a Bitcoin. And they can send whatever they want. And it automatically gets split, because I put this in the feed amongst everybody that
helps with the show. So if we can get you a wallet before we release this episode, we'll talk about it after I'll cut you in for a split 25%. Anything that comes in, you'll automatically get 25% of it sent to your wallet. straight to it. We don't touch it. Dred Scott gets a percentage for doing the chapters, Kyle a bear for doing our outro. And the interplanetary file system I was talking about earlier, gets a split because they host for us. But I don't have to do anything.
That's the beauty of it. I put them in the split. I don't have to do any accounting. It goes to them, not me. So it's a really neat system. And you can attach messages to the boosts of up to however many characters it's a good amount like 250, something like that. Maybe 450 And that's what we call booster grams. And we got some booster grams this week. Leila, do you want to read them? Or would you like me to?
We can do have now. Okay,
I'll do the first time. Oh, there's five. Okay, so we'll just alternate out to the first one. Okay. From fountain 333 Satoshis from Baroness love and light. This is for episode 171. So what did you name it? So what I named it so what? We were talking about sewing the whole episode, so, so my gosh, I love your banter, heart emoji and sewing. My fun fact is that you're using a commercial pattern. Yeah. And it doesn't fit you well. It's the patterns fault, not your body, I believe
or your sewing. Yeah.
I haven't used a commercial pattern since like 2022 Because I hate them. I will not make money from patterns I make my own or I get them from someone that I trust. And once like I can either gather to fit my waist or you can make a custom like waistband for it. Or custom measurements. Because the commercial patterns are terrible with sizes and I hate it
That's gonna say, All right, go ahead and read the next one. Okay,
we got 1776 from fountain from just listening. We have team Imperial. Excuse me. Welcome to the dark side. Good to hear from Ainsley. Congrats the show was very good.
No. We have an argument about Imperial versus metric. Yes. I'm adding up all the Satoshis right now. So if you want to read the next one, you can go ahead.
Okey dokey. Let's see what we got. We got 1000 SATs from phantom power music. From honor Ainsley Costello in the we got a we got two from it. Yes, two from
phantom power music here
from phantom power music that's 6000 in total. And one of them says, fun show guys love the Father data dynamic.
That was for the employee Costello episode. And then we have from fountain 1776. That's the freedom boost Satoshis. And it is from just listening. And it is for the 2023 is so over episode. And it just says boost boost boost.
Nice.
Thank you everybody who sent in Satoshis. I just did a quick conversion on cracking. And all of those Satoshis altogether come to $4.25. Now that's the raw amount that was sent. So Ainsley got a part of that, and drept got a part of that. And so it just everybody who's supporting the show is supporting everybody who's involved with the show. So we definitely appreciate that everybody. And yeah, that's our support section, go to store dot FunFactFriday.com and get the
merch. And yeah, there you go. So, trying to think I was gonna ask something else. dead air. You gotta love that we're professional podcasters we are. We're gonna ask. I can't remember what I was going to ask. And if I think of it while we're in the post show, I'll hit record and then ask why everybody, we appreciate y'all stopping by. Did you have any questions for us?
We're have wanted to be able to say Satoshis Satoshi sign up for the Satoshi.
So what what we're going to do is we're probably going to set you up on fountain.fm. That's a really easy way because when you sign up on that app, as you listen to podcasts, you earn Satoshis. They pay you to listen. And then you can in turn, give those Satoshis back to podcast you listen to or just rack them up and then cash them out. And you cash them out
through there's a bunch of different ways to do it. We can talk about that after we're wrapped up but I think there's another think I think get Alby is still around for for opening up wallets. But I think they might be getting out of it. I'll look into it before I give you any information on that. But yeah, we can get you involved in that. And it's really neat. Ainsley Costello we had her on Two episodes ago. I don't know did listen that episode. I did that one. Yeah, she was she did
a concert live and was receiving boosts live. And I want to say she got like seven or 8 million SATs. No more than that. It was like 10 10 million SATs it was it was a lot of money. I think I did the math. And I want to say it came around eight grand. For her live show. It was awesome. It was really awesome. And she's she's a fun person. She's just fun to talk to. But yeah, so it's really neat. And I think every podcaster should just hop in on it. Because it doesn't take that much. It takes a
little bit. But it doesn't take that much to get set up with it. And it's a real interesting way for your listeners to support you directly. The app that you're using normally takes a percentage, but that's supporting the app and the infrastructure infrastructure for the app and all that. But other than that, there's not like, again, you can't get cancelled. Because the money's going directly from you to me. And if an app starts to be weird, you can move to another
app, you know, so it's it's interesting stuff. So,
but yeah, so Mike. Yeah, no problem.
We'll talk about that more in the after show because it kind of gets kind of get into the nitty gritty, you know, set up wallets and all that kind of stuff. And it's like, so it's not that hard, but we can we can get rolling on it. And so yeah, if you'd have any more questions for us, we'll go ahead and hit the outro music we did we do we miss any segments or anything other than news?
I don't think so. Okay. All right. You ready? Yeah. And let's go no flooding trial here. I think so. Ready?
Yeah. Fun
