Most times we record on Thursdays, but it's Friday in Australia. And we know for a fact. We have some some listeners in Australia. Oh, yeah,

Leila

I do.

David

Fun Fact, Friday is a weekly show where I discuss different topics and tell you some fun facts about them. And maybe some surprising facts, maybe some boring facts. But you know, we try and make facts and if there's if there's not any facts, or they're not facts, let us know. Male FunFactFriday.com

Leila

Yeah,

David

you know, so they There you go. That's where we are. And you know what else we are? What international stars? Are we we are we are getting asked to be guest stars on other podcasts. Yeah. All kinds of stuff. Recently, I was interviewed for a show and a new upcoming show that comes out next month, called it's called my other podcast is because as most of you are aware, I haven't different podcasts and Fun Fact Friday. It's called meatus pod. It is science fiction, fantasy

and horror short stories told in an audio drama style. It's not always appropriate for children. So listener discretion is advised. I normally try and do a warning before each story. If it is, you know, of questionable content, which the most recent episode is. We also were just a guest this episode has not been posted yet either. On

Leila

better call Dad and uncle daddy.

David

With Rena Friedman watts, she is a podcaster who has done a ton of episodes with a new arena when she came on our show a couple of weeks ago. I'm telling y'all who she is. She was on arena 911 episode and we did a you know, she we she came on our show we went on her show is a good time. We had a really good time talking to her. Wish we could have talked longer, but we started really late. Leila had to go to bed and you know, it was a whole thing. So but yeah, go check that out. And

think that, is that it for the week. Do we have any other amazing news? No, no. So why don't we jump right into some?

Leila

That's the shortest we've ever done an intro. I know. Right? One.

David

We didn't have a lot going on this week.

Leila

But now a couple rants that I want to say. Oh, no, I do. Oh, no. All right. Write them down. Okay, don't

David

forget them. Okay. Talk about your good news week. Yeah. On Fun Fact. Friday. Good news. It is. So there was this couple right. And they were getting married? How married were

Leila

they

David

not yet married? Ah. Elizabeth was born on September 13 1989 at 1988. And so was Joshua. Elizabeth was born at Mercy Hospital in coon Robins minute met Coon Rapids, Minnesota. I'm a professional podcaster. So was Joshua. The pair were born at the same place on the same day, just six hours apart.

Leila

I have a friend that was born on the same day as me. Yep. At the same hospital as a hospital. Yep. And I

David

worked with her dad. So yeah, so this couple found out like they were born at the same hospital on the same day, and they got married. And they found pictures of themselves as kids together in the same kindergarten class.

Leila

Oh my god. Yeah.

David

And the, the woman's mom had went to a recital or kindergarten graduation video. And they both of them were in the graduation video, of course. And the mom had zoomed in on Joshua, and then zoomed out, and then zoomed zoomed in on her daughter, Elizabeth. Just like, mother's intuition, I guess is what they chalked it up to. But they they had a lot of similarities in their lives. And they were they they they consider it does it divine intervention. Quote from Joshua,

we believe it was God, in spite of the facts. We could have all had all these similarities, but been completely polar opposites. And that's just not the case at all. So I feel like it was just a perfect match. And yeah, I think it was divine for sure. So they're both religious people. And they both have said that they were both in dark places in their lives. And let's see where

was it? Yeah, they were both had just had divorces. And they said that they were in going through some dark times and that's usually quote that's usually when we've seen God really do work in our lives. So they they feel like they were destined to be together. And it's just kind of neat that they were, you know, and plus, it makes their birthday. Just like, like Christmas. Like, everybody gets something, you know, it's not just like one person get a present. So they got just gotta

remember their anniversary and then their own birthday. They don't have to worry about remembering all this other stuff. But they, they got in touch with their kindergarten teacher. And she dug up some pictures of them playing together at Field Day. So they've got that now. And I just it's just a really nice fun story. I thought that was a that was a good one. Yeah. And so yeah, that's, that's my Good. Good news story.

Leila

Yeah. So mine's about Jazz. Jazz. Yeah. So there is this teacher in Tampa. Okay, he's blind. But he is a jazz teacher. He plays saxophone like me. And, okay. So he's at Madison, you

David

know, he can go.

Leila

And I was going to read the story, but I looked at the picture for it. And it has like him and his students, but one of the saxophone owners has his saxophone in his hand. And his ligature is upside down. And I can't get over it.

David

What's a ligature for us on saxophone.

Leila

There's so many parts of the saxophone. So you have the body of the instrument, which is what the one with the keys. It's like the main part of the instrument, then it has the neck that goes into it, and then the mouthpiece attaches to the neck. And the mouthpiece has three parts. It has the actual body of the mouthpiece, the ligature, and the read. Now, the ligature is something that holds the reed to the mouthpiece, so it's like a little plate. It's not a clamp. It's like a clamp. It's

like a clamp, but it has screws on it, right? Yeah, like upside down. And some ligatures have one screw under there, the good ones are the expensive ones, right? So he has that one, but it's upside down. The screw is supposed to be the bottom. His top, this is the top, and I would understand this because he the teacher is blind and he does it. Okay, let me explain the story first. It just kind of has to do with the story.

David

So get ahead of yourself. Yeah,

Leila

I am. So the teacher, he made his own Braille sheet music. He did all of that stuff, because he's blind. And he teaches his students by saying you have to feel the music. And you have to feel the instrument. And I kind of understand that, because when you're a jazz music, you're when you're a jazzy guy. You got to you got to be able to improvise, man. You're jazzy guy. But, no, yeah, that's what he teaches. And I

would understand that his ligature was upside down. If there wasn't a screw on it that was supposed to be at the bottom right?

David

Well, okay, no, no, to be fair, to to be fair. Everybody has their own little style. Right?

Leila

Yeah.

David

What if that kid feel like it wouldn't play as good, but what if that kid can only play if it's upside down? I mean, he's just like, I mean, like,

Leila

you know, there's people be held as held on as good and it wouldn't be right the way

David

it was supposed to be. I get that. But like, there's some people have

Leila

to come in contact with the thing in a certain way to make it make noise. Okay,

David

so maybe there was that kid's first day maybe. And like, maybe the teacher hadn't hadn't like, felt the instrument to to make sure it was all how it supposed to be. And like I said, maybe that kid like, that's how he learned, maybe, and it messes him up, if he puts it back normal like he's supposed to. He may have picked up his dad saxophone and watch some YouTube videos on how to play. And just like never fixed that. Never saw that. That was what you're supposed to do. And like, but he

got pretty good at playing it like that. It's like when somebody gets really good with an instrument. That's just a really bad version. Yeah, like a really cheap guitar, but they get really good with it. They pick up a good guitar, and it feels different. So they have trouble playing it. Yeah,

Leila

I have something that no one else would notice. Right. But it really got my goat. You know? He's not doing it right. I don't for him.

David

I don't type with my fingers on the home row keys, like you're supposed to mean either. So I type. Yeah, and people I've had to hit people like what are you doing?

Leila

I mean, I don't like do the thing where you hold up one finger and do the one

David

the shift or the what

Leila

to like, I don't like look at the letter. Oh, no, you don't I stare at the keyboard while I'm typing. And I do it like that. I do. Normal typing you don't.

David

You don't hunt and peck. No, I don't. But you have your own. I had to look at a keyboard. Yeah, I have to glance down at it. I've just I don't know if it's just a being unsure of myself. Oh, and this concludes Fun Fact.

Leila

Friday news. Here we go. So I have a friend that can actually touch type like really well. Your mother can touch type really well. I also have a mother that can touch type very well, very,

David

very well. She's, she like, was top of her class and typing in high school. So speed wise, every

Leila

time I hear her type, it's always it's so loud. But she hasn't really clickety clack

David

of the keyboard. Yes, I gave her one of my mechanical keyboards and I even got her some key caps that are louder than the regular cat was your little ASMR section. Yeah. But all right. So Fun Fact, Friday news SEC complete, complete. And I think we're probably going to start moving the value of what we're trying out some different stuff. Yeah. Remember the value value segment in between news? And then the meat of the show? Oh, really? All right. Or do you think we should put it Do you

want to put it at the end? At the end? At the end? Okay, do I put in the middle? I don't come

Leila

to you. It's up to you. Do you make it I do that I

David

did that putting it into the host. But you do the putting right here the talent, talent. I gotta get you a shirt that says the talent. I'm

Leila

just a dude that shows up for the for the show, and then leaves? Um,

David

well, okay, so I am going to I have been working on something and I'm, I talked a little bit about it last week. But I have gotten the show note maker complete. And the chapter maker complete, and the chapter aren't making complete. So now I should be able to do everything involved with after we hit stop on the recording, I should be able to have everything complete and uploaded by in less than 10 minutes. Now that does not include the chapters because Dred Scott does our chapters.

But I feel like with the new chapter maker, if dread wants to take a week off, I could get him done fairly quickly, not 10 minutes, because the chapters is quite a task. And we think, Dread profusely for that. But yeah, I feel like I feel like I got some some neat little tools built for myself. And it feels really good that me and me and some some AI chatbots got it done. And I learned a lot about JavaScript and PHP and HTML, why didn't learn about HTML. But anyway, I'm proud of myself is

what I'm saying. I'm also proud of myself, I'm saying for something else. I know that pride is a sin. But I got a role in a Marvel game. Night, a voice acting role. It's in an app called Marvel move. And it's part of the new Daredevil series in the app. It's a fitness app. And that's all I'm allowed to say. He signed the contract. I've signed an NDA. And that's all I'd say. So I'm very excited about it. More information will be coming very soon. It won't be long at all. So pretty hyped up

about that. And so yeah, why don't we get into what we're actually going to be talking about? Because we didn't say it at the beginning?

Leila

Oh, we didn't we know the language.

David

Body language is a very interesting topic to me. I've always been a foil.

Leila

Yeah, I just read a foil thing. I want to rant about it later.

David

Okay, and we can rant about foil in a few minutes. But body language I started being interested in when I was doing sales, I will sales when I was waiting tables, which is we like to think of ourselves as salesmen because we were always trying to push certain items on the menu or, like, you know, the the tuna was going out of date in a couple of days. So we had to sell as much as possible. So they would say, you know, Hey,

be a salesman, push, push the tuna. And, you know, I studied sales a little bit and a lot of a lot of techniques, body language techniques, please stop changing the formatting on our show notes. It's messing with my head came into play when you're doing sales. So one of them is mirroring. Yeah, and mirroring is the if if you're having a conversation and you feel comfortable and connected to somebody you will start to mirror their, their their body vote motions and body that Yeah,

everybody does. Well I do that. Only when somebody else is get it because mirroring so one of the things that I learned is when you're trying to convince somebody of something and you're saying you know hey, what do you think about you know, what do you think about tuna you big fan? You know some really good tuna steaks. If you nod your head? Yeah, it well I'm talking about like when I was waiting tables. I would nod my head. Yes. While I was asking a question that I wanted to yes

answer to. And subconsciously, that would put them in a more positive mood because they would start mirroring me not realizing they were, or maybe realizing, I don't know how smart they were. But it seemed to work it seemed to give, you know, and the some of the things we're going to talk about in this episode could be used for evil, is what I'm saying. All right, any kind of psychology stuff, or body language stuff, things like that can always be used for good or evil, if you know a lot about

them. And being able to read people's micro expressions. But go back to mirroring, basically what it is, is, if you're having a good conversation with somebody, and they kind of slouch and lean back a little bit in their chair, you're probably going to do the same. You kind of keep just mirror each other's movements and postures and it builds rapport, and kind of creates a sense of trust, when you can, you know, copy each other a little bit and kind of be okay with each other.

You're like, okay, we're, we're on the same team here, you know, just through body language. Yeah. And then, but yeah, talking about that you can also do, one of the things that I used to do to my manager. Another body language thing that you can do is when you're having a conversation with somebody, and you're both intensely into the conversation, you're both on the same page, like an employee and a boss, talking about business things or you know, table 34 needs this or both,

right? If I am giving information to my boss, he is in a receptive mood, or, you know, his just his posture is receptive to what I'm telling him. So I would hand him dirty dishes while I was telling him information that he needed to know. But I wouldn't like say here, boss, take these dirty dishes to dish for me, I would just slowly push them towards him while keeping eye contact, and he would subconsciously take them from me. Because he just like he's listening to what I'm

saying. And he's receiving the information. But he would take the dishes, and then I would be like, Alright, I gotta go, I gotta go take care of some stuff. And then he would look down and have some dirty dishes in his hand and be like, Oh, I guess I gotta take these to dish or he would hand them to somebody else and say, Take these to dish. So Oh, little tricks. You know, just fun little stuff you can try on your friends as a joke. Nothing. Don't be evil.

Leila

So who actually frowns? Raise your hands. I want to show you actually Oh, wow.

David

Didn't expect that. Many? Yeah, Greg. Gee,

Leila

are you frowning man?

David

He won't tell us because Greg Greg doesn't donate. Oh, wow. So so

Leila

like an actual thing. I could do people frown. I don't.

David

In like real life. Unless you have that just as your natural people frown

Leila

in real life. People frown in real life.

David

Your your AI chat bot.

Leila

What's that Gemini.

David

Oh, you're gonna do the Google Gemini. I'm gonna it's gonna give you messed up results that thing is but I can't think of seeing somebody actually like with their the tips of their mouth downturned unless that's just how their faces normal. Yeah, because some people just have that that musculature in their face.

Leila

And their mind is asking me stuff I don't want to I've

David

got hold on. I've got I've got chat GPT logs, so well. I've been working on the on the stuff okay, so do people frown IRL do people frown and real life? frown?

Leila

I love the concept of saying in real life after something. It's funny because it's so funny.

David

Do people frown in real life? Absolutely. Absolutely not. Frowning is a natural expression that people make when they're upset, annoyed or concentrating intently on something.

Leila

I shouldn't say frown for me.

David

For him for me. So you want me to do it? Around for me? I don't think chat. Free one. I don't think the free one can. I'm an AI language model. Typically frowning involves contracting muscles. I don't have muscles.

Leila

That I think that there's some dude behind GBT that sees my

David

gosh. Yeah, well, I mean they probably could they could probably drill down

Leila

on some people found in real life frown for me. No,

David

I know that I've been playing with Google Gemini also and it will give you graphics are really cool. It will give you graphics of things. Like I asked for a directory structure of something that I was working on and it like did it in like ASCII text as a neat little thing. But But what Okay, so you're saying frown? Yeah. What are you talking about?

Leila

Like, when you downturn your mouth? Like I feel like that's not a response to anything.

David

I do it. I just made the face right I did a downturn not like a comical, you know, I'm trying to look sad, but like, just like when I'm thinking really hard, I think I frown I think the corners of my mouth downturn

Leila

well that's just the way your mouth works. You don't that's what a frown is you don't put into muscle work maybe I knew you don't put into muscle work.

David

I started looking at myself 24/7 Like an influencer? Don't

Leila

want to try that thing where it's like, if you stare in the mirror for like 10 minutes. Oh

David

my gosh, I don't want to try it. Do it. It messes with your head. Ah, just stare directly in the mirror blink as little as possible because I have

Leila

like just scarier. So my room? And

David

I'm gonna tell you don't do it. If you're like alone, yeah, don't do it alone. Yeah, it like messes with your head because you see your face start to change. And it's just tricks of your eyes. Your eyes don't like looking at your own face for too long. And like intently staring at it. And but yeah, it's, it messes with your, your, your brain doesn't like looking at it. I don't

Leila

like looking at any foreign thing for too long. Right? Like, I'll be chatting with my friends. And I'll be like, All right. And I'll like look down for a little while. Because I'm tired of them. Sorry. I'm tardy Allspace

David

they have that kind of relationship. I'm sure. They goof around like Oh, yeah. So, so okay, they don't listen to this. Do you know what micro expressions are? Yeah. Like so the things that normal people do. Right? Everybody has these little micro expressions of the student the pictures is not microing not well, he's exaggerating it but am I trying to to show you what it is. So if you've got sadness, you have a

duper, duper, duper drooping upper eyelid. smolder, right, you lose focus in your eyes and a slight pulling down of the lip corners. Just a slight a straight line mouth. Anger, eyebrows down and together. Your eyes are glaring. And your lips are narrow like you kind of pull your lips in and make them narrow contempt. lip corner tightened and raised on only one side of the face. discussed your nose wrinkles, and your upper upper lip raises. Surprise, eyebrows raised, eyes widened,

mouth open. Oh, no. looks so weird. And then fear. eyebrows raised and pulled together raised upper eyelids tensed lower eyelids and lips slightly stretched horizontally back to the ears.

Leila

Your eyes face looks like when the cat smells something bad.

David

Just like open and we're on the medium link in the show notes. If you want to check out the image we're talking about if if chapters aren't up when you watch or Darwin, Darwin, Darwin's lie detection. Yeah, it's talking about like how everybody kind of has the same habit. Who's Darwin? Charles? I'm guessing they're talking about that. I didn't read through the Hart article completely. Charles are the fish. The fish from your show? Gumball? Yeah, yeah.

Leila

Okay, I realized like two days ago, because my friend told me this. But Darwin, the fish from the basement of Gumball that his name is Darwin, because he started off as just a fish. And he grew legs. So he evolved. Yes. And Charles Darwin leveraged came up with the theory of evolution. Because we're just starting to talk about the theory of evolution in science class. Oh, no. And he turns to me, he's like, you know, you know, Darwin was named after Charles Darwin. I was like,

David

we never told the m&m story.

Leila

We did not okay. I gotta get some water back in my throat because I kept gasping so

David

there we were. In the, I'm just starting to know just starting it. So there we were in the kitchen. I am pulling out some fish, not fish, chicken, some chicken patties that we have there. The spicy breaded chicken patties and I

Leila

said, that's an awfully hot coffee pot. Because, you know, Eminem? He says, I've never heard him say yes, that's an awfully hot coffee pot.

David

I've never heard him say. He's a lyricist. So.

Leila

So you just keep saying that's an off the hot coffee bot. And I begin to say, Yo, I'm Eminem. Marshall met. Because Marshall Mathers him m n m, and he named Eminem because he doesn't want to m n M because M n m is already a brand and he didn't want to get m n sued

David

the s and Eminem has been sued. Oh, goodness. Anyway, it was it's really funny. Eminem has no incident when women pneumophila figures out something that that is very fairly obvious. And it just like completely shocks blows my mind and the Darwin thing and what happens is when when this happens, she I'm trying to scroll up to it. She has eyebrows raised eyes wide open because of surprise. So, yeah. So that's what a micro expression

Leila

sounds like micro aggressions like what is what? micro

David

aggression? We're not going into micro aggression. It's a whole thing. We'll we'll talk. Maybe we'll do an episode about micro aggressions. It's an interesting topic, but it's, anyway, we're not going into it.

Leila

So I know I've talked about this on the show before. But when people say it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. I hate. Is it true? Uh, probably. It's just who frowns?

David

Oh, okay. So we're still on the two people.

Leila

Raise your hand,

David

I think. I think when you frown, I think you're like, are actively trying to do it. Because you're trying to exaggerate where you're trying to exaggerate the situation. Yeah, to show like, do that pity me, you know, that sort of that sort of thing. Some people may I don't round. I can't think of anybody. I can think you frown raise your life.

Leila

I just I'm making that joke. It's yeah,

David

it's a one time deal. You gotta let that one go.

Leila

But like, I'll be in the middle of class. And my friend says something. To me. That makes me sad. And I'll frown at her. Right to let her know, let her know. I'm sad. I'm sad. Sad.

David

So let's move on to anyway, this isn't about running. Cultural differences. Oh, body language can vary significantly across cultures. What is considered polite and respectful in one culture might be deemed as deemed as rude or aggressive in another? Some cultures making direct eye contact is a sign of respect, while in others it can be seen as a challenge. Oh, that's why I think it's Britain. I think I've heard in Britain like you. If somebody's if you're on if

you're in the tubes, you know, in the on the train? Yeah. You don't look at anybody. You don't make eye contact with anybody. Or they'll thank you. That's what I've heard. Ah, so. And then I know that I can't remember which country it is. But what like, you know how, like, if you're saying, Come here, you'll use your left Korea index. That's South Korea. If you use your index finger and curl it up towards yourself like the come here motion is that? I don't know. I just,

Leila

I know. Probably some people do it. I've done it before. I just usually do like the

David

whole hand. Yeah, the whole hand, the arm, but the way you just looked dumb doing it. But apparently even the whole hand. If your palm up when you do it. That's how you call a dog or an animal in Korea. And if you do it, you'd have to do it palm down. If you're doing it towards a person, or it's taken as you're calling me and treating me like a dog. I

Leila

learned that like five years ago, and I've done the little underhand thing ever since when I'm doing it to people I don't know. Or I just shook my head. I usually do in my head. Actually. I never really do the call over thing. Yeah, I usually

David

do the hand motion like the whole hand towards Me because more visible you know, another cultural difference that I learned recently that this isn't a body language thing. Gift giving in Japan. Oh, it's so cool. Super, like super formal. Yeah, there was a video about how they they do gift wrapping there. And like they had a speed gift wrappers. And

Leila

they like that's an awfully hot coffee pot. Right.

David

And they Yeah, they do speak different but it depends on like how the gift wrap is folded as to how you're supposed to give the gift like if the seam is on one side of the box, that seam should be turned to where it closes to their left or something like that. I'm wrong about the details. But the the orientation that you give the box to the person when it's gift wrapped matters and can mean different things different ways. And we'll try and find the video and put it in the show notes.

But I can't promise anything because like, couple of weeks ago we watched you know, power posing, what you want to talk about this one you want to talk about power pose and go for it. I'm going to drink some drink Because

Leila

I have a story behind this, okay. So power posing. Research suggests that adopting a powerful posture can actually boost your competence and testosterone levels, or making yourself small can have the opposite effect. So if you if you small than estrogen, but if you tall then testosterone, what? No.

David

certain actions that you take will induce the production of one or the other. I know that chopping wood produces extra testosterone, like taking an axe and going out and chopping wood. Standing in the Superman, like the classic Superman pose, hands on the hips chest out, you know, that Superman pose also increases your testosterone levels, your confidence, all that stuff. Yeah.

Leila

You if you're having like a, like a, like a breakdown, or if you're really sad, stand up or you're just low energy. Yeah, stand up, do a power pose. Stand up and raise your hands like Superman. Because it's really funny. It will make you laugh and will make you feel better. I promise. I was

David

in the works the hands on the hips, shoulders out, elbows straight out. Move, you know, that pose? That's a good one. I

Leila

think I think it's funnier when you stand up and put your arms in like a lot. Like you're gonna fly. Yeah, like you're gonna fly like you're

David

okay. So my buddy James has always had this question about Superman. And this is one of those things you're just not supposed to ask? Because you're supposed to just be like, Oh, okay. Because you're with some stuff. Yeah, the story like some some movies and TV shows, and comic books and things you had kind of just have to suspend your disbelief, and just be like, Okay, so that's what happens. Yeah, in the universe that they're in. That's normal. He always had the question. When

Superman is flying, right? He wills himself to leave the ground. Right? And once he's flying, how does he fly faster? Like, how does how does he control his study have a motor like direction I can understand like, by how you move your body through the air and things like that, but he could never understand like my does he just think I want to go faster. Because if that's the case, what

Leila

I think it is, is he is actually a plane, and he's hiding. He actually has motors and a propeller. But he doesn't want people to know. So he hides underneath escape,

David

there's a theory that he has a energy field around himself. And it actually extends about a little a little bit a couple of millimeters past his skin, which is what, which is what keeps his outfit from getting destroyed by a lot of the things that would normally destroy an outfit. But the theory is that he can expel extra energy. And that's how he flies. So if he wants to fly faster, he'll just expel more

energy. So that's the going theory, which is all fiction simply just goes faster is yeah, he just simply thinks I want to go faster. And if that's the case, why wouldn't he just want to always go faster, to get to where he needed to get quicker. But we're talking about fictional characters, so it doesn't really matter. There's no science behind it. If you have any of it, especially back when they wrote it. They weren't thinking, how are we going to explain how Superman flies?

Leila

If you like stuff like this? You should watch some of the pitch meetings. For movies. Yes.

David

YouTube, there's a Screen Rant does Screen Rant does it and that I think they have their own channel now called Pitch meetings. It's Ryan George has named does it? Oh, my goodness. That was a bad noise. Yeah, he he basically tears down the movies. And it's like he's pitching it to the guy. And anyway, it's funny. Not always appropriate. What what do we say? Barely an inconvenience? Yes. That super easy. Barely an inconvenience. Yeah. And what's it? He says, get all the way off

my back about that. Yeah. Get all the way up all the way off my back about that. But one of the one of the funny things that happened on the internet this week, was the creator of another superhero named Omni man, stated definitively as a fact that Omni man can beat Superman in a fight. And I'm like, Well, if you're the creator of Omni, man, then yeah, because you're his writer. And you can literally just say he has infinite power or infinite. I'm like, we're talking about fictional

characters and you control one of them. So yes, you are correct. If you had the license to have them to write a story where they fought, you could write it any way you wanted. Or

Leila

you have any buddies in the fridge. My throat I don't I don't think

David

we have any bubbles. I think we have some waters if you want to grab one. I'm gonna pause. Yeah. Yeah, she needed a drink. I had to cough. So yeah. What the next thing we're going to talk about. We talked about differences. Now we have thought about Univer are small gestures. So even though some things are like cultural some are just like everybody, like if you see somebody smiling no matter where you are in the world, it's just a sign like they're happy or friendly. Yeah, right. Frowning

is worldwide, associated with sadness and disapproval. So there's some things that are just universally. It's the natural thing that happens when we feel certain emotions that everybody feels. So they not it's not a cultural thing. And yeah, so a clenched fist can mean anger because I think worldwide a clenched fist is like, I'm gonna punch you in the face.

Leila

Arthur mean. Arthur mean? Yeah,

David

Arthur, clenching his fist. Yeah, that's

Leila

right. Like you were like clearing your throat out.

David

That's how I angry

Leila

me when I'm angry. You

David

wanted to talk about handshakes? Oh, sure.

Leila

I was just gonna talk about handshakes. Okay, handshakes.

David

How do you feel? How do you feel about handshakes? Um,

Leila

I feel like I feel like it's i I feel really I feel really self conscious when I give someone a handshake.

David

Okay, so how do you think you could make it? Matt Bucha refusing just refused. Yeah, I

Leila

know what you're getting out. You're gonna give me a hint. All right.

David

Let's just push. Oh my gosh. So like, No, we're not doing that.

Leila

No, I hold up my hand for fist bump. Yeah, every time. So handshake.

David

Snail. Yeah. So there's this thing, when somebody holds up their fist for a fist bump, you cover it with your open hand. And like, like it's a snail like that's the slogan awkward to write. But no, handshakes are important. Because when it the firm handshake thing, right? A lot of people are like, Why don't have to have a firm handshake. And it's kind of a it's a respect thing. It's like I I took the time to learn how to do a proper handshake. So that I would appear confident and

Leila

I did to be respectful. so self conscious of it every single time. Well,

David

we can work on it. I can teach you how to do a good,

Leila

good, you good here.

David

Hold on. Okay, okay, let's handshake. Yeah, that's good. You're way too many pumps? No, it's 123. And then, and then you slide. And then you slide the hook, hook the fingers and then your thumb war.

Leila

That's what I started doing when people

David

when you dab people up, what is that? Oh my gosh,

Leila

that is? No. Your hand.

David

Okay. Okay, so that's no, that's the Give me some skin. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay, give me some skin and then you catch the catch the fingers. And then there's the thumb war. Somewhere is always important. crossing your arms is a sign of defensiveness or disapproval. It can really cross my arms. It can also be a way of self soothing, like you're giving yourself a little hug. I cross my arms when I'm when I'm hot. I never because I feel like I'm sweating. And I'm going to have pit stains.

Leila

I always leave or put my arms on my sides or like put them on. But yeah, I crossed

David

my arms because also that like my, my arm. Whatever arm is closest to other people. I put the other fist underneath that arm and it pushes out my bicep a little bit and makes it look like I'm stronger than I am. So

Leila

like, I never really am not carrying anything. Yeah, that's true. You're always carrying I'm always at school when I'm carrying.

David

You've always got something to do with your hands. Yeah. Look what I can do with my hands. Man. Look what Leila can do with her hands. Yeah, exactly. Bob's

Leila

Burgers all day all day every day.

David

So I think I think well, I'm fiddling with the with the faders on the road caster I shouldn't do that while we're talking. So I think we're gonna get to that now. So I think that that's good. For the facts about body language if you have any cool body language facts cinnamon male FunFactFriday.com or Fun Fact Friday one on Twitter or water. Fun Fact Friday at social dot meters media.com on Mastodon or your other Fetty verse fediverse, the federated universe fediverse

It's a whole thing. Don't worry about it. People who no no, no. So we're gonna go ahead and move to the value for value segment that we teased earlier value for value means we put the show out for free. We do the show for free. We have a good time doing it and we hope it provides you some kinda value either information or entertainment or hate. Listen, like maybe we're

Leila

pleased. We love hate listens.

David

If you're if you're listening to the show because you hate us. Yeah, we need to be for somebody. If you're a podcaster, and you want to start a beef online, we can totally talk.

Leila

I'm actually having one of my friends on. And I want him to start fake beef. Yeah,

David

beef is good for you. Because people take sides and then like, people start yelling at each other. It's fun, because he was

Leila

like, I'm gonna get y'all canceled. And I was like, good.

David

So anywho, we put it out there for free. If you get value out of it, consider getting getting the value back one of the best ways you can do the value for value that's doesn't cost you a penny. tell somebody about the show? Yes. Let somebody know be like, Hey, have you have you heard Fun Fact Friday, something heard the word in their in their catalogue is for you go back and listen to all this. All the shows, whichever shows seem interesting from the title. But yeah, spread

the word about the show. If you've got a following on social media, you know, tag us if we're there, we actually have a Facebook fan page. Now, you can go look for that if you're on the book of faces. And yeah, spread the word for us. We also ask for value and music, art, help out with the chapters. Anything you want to add to the show, let us know. And we can talk if you want to collaborate and come on the show or we come

on your show, whatever. Yeah. And another way is treasure. If you get get value from the show and want to give us back and monetary ways. You can boost using a modern podcast app that has the value tag enabled so you can send us tiny little bits of Bitcoin called Satoshis. And that has happened this week. Cameron, Cameron Cameron, send us a message a booster gram 1234 sets that's 1234 Satoshis. And it says, actually, it's a note to Leila so. Oh, do you have it? Oh, yeah.

Leila

Do you want to read it? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so note to you. It says tale.

David

That's not all part of it. She's gonna start in a moment. She's just getting ready.

Leila

Tell your dad to take a chill pill. And in parentheses when He's peeking the meter.

David

Do you know what Take a chill pill? Yes. Okay.

Leila

Oh my gosh,

David

it was the 90s episode. That was a big thing in the 90s. It was a huge thing in the 90s. I say take a chill pill, take a chill pill.

Leila

But that was mainly to my friends. Right? Because my friends need to take jobos

David

Cameron runs the IPFS podcasting dotnet which is the interplanetary file system. Cameron, I recorded something that Leila created. Not appropriate for the show. But I've recorded something for you. I'll get it. I'll get it to you shortly. It's pretty funny. Anybody else who wants to hear that she did not decide to follow us into it or not? Anybody else please. So yeah, that thank you, Cameron. Appreciate that. Interplanetary file system. Podcasting is

awesome. It keeps us up and running without having to pay for hosting. We just get a little split. We give a little split to anybody who hosts the episode to the through the Satoshis. So did you have a rant?

Leila

I do. Leila rent. Oh, foil. Okay. So math. You know what it is? Right? You know what? You love it?

David

I'm aware of math.

Leila

Do you love it?

David

I like math. I'm not a nerd. I'm

Leila

a cool guy. Ah. Okay. So foil. You know, when you have to like do the exponent inching?

David

I'm aware of exponent thing. Yeah.

Leila

Okay. So when you got parentheses, and it's like, X know, like, like, like 3x plus 20. Okay. And then in parentheses to the second power. Uh huh. You got to do a whole bunch of work. Uh huh. You got to do a whole bunch of work. Okay, so FOIL stands for First. Outer, Inner last. Uh huh. So if you got Hold on, let me write this. What did I say? First? No. 2x plus 22x plus 20. Inside the parenthesis inside parentheses to the second power. Oh, doesn't do exponent. Okay. So

David

well, it's one note. Not a Wolfram Alpha.

Leila

You got to do 2x times two. Okay, you got to do it, but times itself. Anyways. It's a whole bunch of work. Ah, did you get like a trinomial?

David

Uh huh. That's math. You got it out of

Leila

it. So no, Going back work that they've taught us. It feels like this isn't how we used to do it. It's right. It's it's a whole different answers a whole different, but

David

you have to do it. There has to be a unified way of doing things.

Leila

Yes, I know. So why is it dumb? Because

David

it's a building block that builds to something else later. I can't wait. Here's a graphic a year, a year from now, two years from now, you're going to look back and that's why foil is important.

Leila

I know I am. I know I am. No, this is going to happen. They

David

should give you a date. They should be like, they should be like, Okay, so in algebra two in high school, all of this is going to make sense they should give you like,

Leila

Okay, we had a whole like semester where we were only learning stuff that would be valuable in calculus.

David

Yeah, you got to, you got to have it in your head, that this is going to be important later. Why,

Leila

man? Because why do I have to memorize the formula for distance? Formula? Formula? Is it for this once you've

David

memorized it, and it's part of your brain? It just happens. It's like when HTML

Leila

three months, right? And it goes away. It

David

doesn't though. It sticks in there. Oh, it's like when you ask for help with this stuff. I have to sit there for a minute. And really look at it and get my brain back into high school mode. Yeah, so it's exactly it sticks with you. It just you don't think it sticks with you know,

Leila

like, range and domain? Why

David

it's important. It will come and everything that you're learning now comes into play.

Leila

Ever. Say the range and domain? Well,

David

Z, you're already you're already thinking about ways that it would be important,

Leila

because that's a really bad example. If I ever

David

Oh, dang, everything you're learning has two parts that are gonna come into

Leila

play. Do I care?

David

You don't have to care for mine. You just have to get good grades. No,

Leila

honestly. I know. And in. Leila read Myers Briggs. Oh, yeah. We

David

did a Myers Briggs test.

Leila

Yeah, we did. Like a couple of minutes ago. Yeah, right. Right. Before we

David

came out here to the studio, I am the protagonist on the main character. That's what the test told me. I can't remember the the letters. But I'm an e, o n, f j, n e and f j dash a, are your dash a M A dash a now it? I don't think it's 100%? Correct. It's 100%. Correct on my wife for whatever she was. Because the like every little thing that it said, For if you're not familiar with the Myers Briggs test, it's a

personality test. It asks you a long series of questions about I'm uncomfortable in this situation, or I'm very comfortable in this situation. And you either agree, disagree, or somewhere in between? I made all of my friends do it. And today, awesome. Depending on the answers to your questions, you end up having certain types of personalities. And it's pretty accurate. It's pretty accurate on. Like, if you're this type of personality, then this is how you act in this kind of

situation. It's, you know, and not none of this stuff is 100%. Of course, usually, but it's pretty dead on. I think it's pretty down. One in 10 things that said about me were completely wrong. Like, I can't remember any examples, but it was pretty neat. So you were empathetic, right? It was saying I was empathetic. And I'm, I'm just not you're just you're all right. I can be there. I can understand things. But the feelings. I don't know, I can understand that somebody is

feeling a certain way. And I know how to act when somebody is feeling that way. But I don't like pull that feeling into myself.

Leila

So I am an ESF J. Okay.

David

So what does that what? Extroverted?

Leila

I'm observant. I'm feeling and I'm judging. Oh, there

David

you go. Yeah. Here's this pretty accurate to what you said from the site thing. And it's not like, like a horoscope where the thing that it says is so vague, that it kind of applies to everybody.

Leila

It actually has questions that applied to the answers and stuff. Right.

David

And it has questions like your and again, yourself answering the questions. It's not somebody else answering the questions about you. So Taylor's

Leila

as FJ, apparently. Oh, yeah. According to this Oh, yeah. According to this.

David

Oh, Taylor. So

Leila

you're gonna regret that? I don't know. There's probably some Taylor Swift listeners out there. Hey,

David

if you're a Taylor Swift Fan, like I say, I say this all the time when I'm talking to people and they bring up the dead like something that's not popular like we are only on this planet for a limited amount of time. Right you if you like Taylor Swift me use like, listen to Taylor Swift music if you like drinking diet root beer, drink diet root beer, if you you know, don't don't let other people tell you what to like or dislike as long as, as long as it's the attitude. As long as

it's not something that hurts somebody else. You know what I mean? So, oh, no, what did you do Cash App has updated their terms. Oh,

Leila

no danger. We're not gonna get money anymore.

David

Like money though. But yeah, I think that's about it. Yeah, value, the value for value segment. I had one more rant wanted to say for in case I didn't actually say thank you. Thank you, Cameron.
