Here we are again.
Second try. Here we are, again.
Sometimes on a podcast, when you start rolling, something goes wrong yoke. And you got to start over. And sometimes you're 10 seconds into the show. And sometimes
we tell you, and sometimes we don't. Yeah, sometimes the secret, but this time, it's not.
We rarely restart 190 episodes, we've probably restarted what 10 times, sometimes most of the time, it's some technical issue. Like there's like a buzzing or something like and weed or something like that. Sometimes we'll get five minutes, 10 minutes into the episode, and one of us is just like, Alright, we're done. We got to restart, because one of us is like low energy, or, like, just
something's not clicking. But then we find our groove. I restart and we restart with a better energy with and that's what we're doing now. Yeah, because we're recording in the morning and we almost never record in the morning. Yeah.
It's lunchtime right now, when neither of us have eaten lunch. I
had a granola bar type thing. Where a granola it's like a nut bar.
I had a couple of chips and a piece of Hershey
There you go. There we go. That's my lunch lunch of chocolate. champions. Right? Absolutely. Hi, Fi Leila is going to see a movie. Here in a little bit. Yeah, I may or may not be staying to see the movie as well. It's called Inside Out to write out inside to out inside to Yes, yeah. By by that company that we don't typically like to support but yeah, all her friends are going so anywho today, I found a snake in the yard. And it was a cute little guy and a bit my foot like 10
times. It had no teeth. Yeah, there was just this this small little rat snake. There's probably a foot foot and a half long and I went to went to go to it was wiggling his tail real fast like he had a rattle but he didn't and and then he He curled is the part of ups like he's always gonna strike and like an S getting that spring action ready. And I put my my, the sole of my shoe down towards him. Not to step on him. And I mean all those things. And he goes, like, starts just attacking the bottom
of my shoe relentlessly. And nothing is happening. And then he calms down. He's like, alright, I can't I can't kill this thing.
Like that when a lizard they got into the house, oh, bite you so much. And then just kind of looked at you. I picked up this
little lizard. And he was he was so mad. I picked him up. And he just started. He just latched on to my finger and just started like, oh, like he was gonna murder my finger. And after about like, three or four really good bites on it, which felt like nothing. Just turns his head and looks at me like, I'm sorry, can you let me down? Oh, boy, I was fun. But yeah, we're just doing random facts on this episode. We like to do
these every once in a while. And we find a good list. And we did on parade.com, which will be in the show notes probably be the only link unless we decide to link something that we you know, just come across while we're in our, our studies here. It's what we do here we study. Yeah, totally studying the world and
a really, really long studying all these facts making sure they're true.
Yeah, making sure because we I mean, all of this research.
You have like 15 tabs open at a time for one fact. Like
when you came in earlier, like you were ready to record I didn't know you're coming out here to the studio and I had like, four terminal windows open. I'm installing Proxmox, which is a virtual machine came
out in there was stuff all over my laptop. Yeah. Anything, a whole
computer sitting on top of her laptop with a command line open on her screen. And well, but yeah, I'm just installing Proxmox says, you know, virtualization software on an old HP EliteDesk 800 G three, but it's got a quad core processor. So I'm like, well, that's four processors, that's four computers. And I've got like little small computers running different processes around the house. And I was like, I can get it on one machine and that'll save on
electricity. Save a lot of problems. So I'm going to put like a pie hole on it. And just a a Windows machine. Just to have an extra one for troubleshooting things, you know, stuff like that. Hey, yeah, it's just a project I'm working on. But you know, who knows when it'll get finished? But but but Leila gets out here. I have to run back in for something. She goes to open up her laptop bluescreen my. And then she told me something funny about when she was here. So, so
on my laptop, I have a little Intel sticker like most laptops do when you get them. And I got I had a memory like a flashback, run through my head, like a flashbang. And in elementary school, we had a computer lab and all the computers had the little Intel sticker on him. And I remembered that I used to be so terrified of these things peeling off or accidentally peeling these things off, because I thought it would ruin the computer. Because I thought like it was the processor, right?
Like the company's like, hey, let's take the important most important part of the computer. And let's put it on a sticker. Stick it to our kids. Did you not look at the other other laptops at school that didn't have the Intel sticker because somebody ripped it off? Fine. Wow, really? We all
had this like same paranoia?
Wow. Yeah. That center interesting. Because like, Huh. When I was in school, a million years ago, we had the computer lab and oh my gosh, like nobody did anything wrong on those computers, including Well, mostly including me till in high school. Because we like we didn't want to mess him up. Because we actually had to use computers at school is so cool. So we were all like, treated them like they were super fragile. And like, it was like that.
Yeah, I'm trying not to do anything weird like computers, because like, if I most of our stuff is online, and I have to do it all at home. Oh, yeah. That's all heater privileges taken away.
Yeah. Yeah, they want you to log into all this stuff installed on the computer. Yes. Like, why do you even have to go to school? But then there's the social aspect of it. Yeah. Which is, you know, can be important. If you don't have, like a church family or something that you belong to? Yeah. Which we're looking for a new church, we're gonna we're gonna kick around town and see see what? What's going on there. So we are just
like, like I said, just doing random facts today. And we found this parade.com site, and it's got a lot that I've never, never heard. Yeah. And some that I have. And we may go over some stuff we've talked about before, but my memory is not great. We'll talk about that later when we get into the booster grams. So I am going to start in the completely useless facts. Okay. The world record for the most T shirts worn at one time. Is 260. I could be that priest. Do you know how heavy that would get?
Yeah. Okay, like 260 words, average weight.
I feel like that's what like British people think that our measurements are T shirts. T shirts.
Okay, so let's say 5.5 ounces, or five, five ounces is the average. So 260 times five. That's going to be 1300 ounces. So 1300 divided by 16. That's 81 pounds of T shirts. Whoa. And you know the once you reach like four XL, you know it's gonna get more heavier per shirt. So I'm not even gonna do the math on it, but it's gonna be at least 81 pounds worth of T shirts.
What if he was just like laying down now pile them on top of him.
I think you have to be wearing them. I don't think it would count if that counts is wearing. No doesn't. Are you wearing a blanket? Yes. All right, I guess whatever.
So Finland has the most heavy metal bands per capita, per capita, per per? Per reCAPTCHA.
Stolen stallion joke.
You're so funny.
Ah, that's a throwback to last time. I'm sure you think that. You know what I think?
What do you think?
A Jiffy is about 1,000,000,000,000th of a second.
Are you thinking Miku Miku?
You know, I was not. But that reminds me I got an email from limited run games. This is not an advertisement. Y'all don't do that. They gotta Miku game. It's a what do they call it? Like a Wii U is a logic puzzle. Where there's numbers on the left and the right and there's a grid. And
pick pick cross. Yeah, it's
like pick Cross, which I think is a namebrand also, but there's a Miku pick cross which Oh, surely we'll be excited about and very excited. It's come is I think it's on the store anyway for switch but it's coming. They're doing a physical release. That's, you know, I like physical releases because of things. Like you know, you never know the internet's gonna go down and you can't use your games. You know? That you've purchased it. Anyway. So yeah, a jiffy is about
1,000,000,000,000th of a second. So when you say I'll be back in a jiffy,
you know what clicked in my mind what? You know, when you say like, Oh, that was eons ago? Uh huh. You actually mean like eons? Yeah. What?
What did you? I didn't know what an eon was,
until this year.
You didn't know that was an actual
geological timescale. And I was like, Oh, I said that. I was like, when you say, that was eons ago, you actually mean eons ago, and my teacher was like, Hall, and my whole class was like, Hall. So apparently, I'm the only one that like, uses that or knows of that.
And I'm mad about a little bit a little bit when you when something clicks in your head, your face. We
need to start saying that was epics ago. Or that was eras ago. epoch.
Epic is is like a fail. That's what my
my science teacher would say epic. And it made me so mad instead of epoch. epoch.
Oh, I thought you were gonna rant but it didn't. didn't reach the level of rant
about a person right? Don't want beef. Paper.
Some people pronounce things incorrectly and we just have to be we have to be okay with it. Like a lot of see people will in our area. See people a lot of well, I was gonna say something else but a lot of people. They pronounce the word pecan. Pecan. And you're wrong in our area. And anybody in the people who call it P can. I've looked it up.
Both are technically correct, but one can mix them up. We need to start doing when there's multiple different pronunciations of word we need to mix the pronunciations if they're multiple syllables. Speaking of syllables. Did you know The main is the only state whose name only has one syllable? No. And did you know that the number 12 is the last number. If you're counting incrementally, that's only one syllable. So
I want to double. No. Okay, look, no, no, no, no, no, because I've done this before, because I've heard that from you before. And I tested it out. And I was like 12345677 I
calmed down. What not? What was the fact that I said I said 12 is the last. That is on only one syllable. I didn't say everything under 12. Yes, I wasn't saying all of the ones under it have one syllable because you left then the has, like 700 syllable. Okay. Okay, no, it's and 12 is how many times you shake your hands when you're trying to get the water off of them. It's a good amount of times to shake your hands
before you start using the paper towel in the bathroom. You shake your hands 12 times
because you you syllable when you're shaking your hands. I
don't syllable I'm shaking my hands.
I don't even shake my hands. Do you?
Don't you just go straight to the paper towel? No. Okay, I
wash my hands. Okay, good solid like two minutes. And then I take the water and I do like this with my hands. And I walk over to the trashcan
What are you doing with it? Oh, you're doing the tarantula whom you are hanging
down hands. It's like my fingers curled up. And then I walk over and like hold them all the way away from me and walk over to the trashcan and then just like into the trash can and grab a grab a paper towel and wipe off my hands. Yeah,
that's how many times do you flick your fingers
12345
Hey, you should shake a few times don't shaking. So then once you get once you get the paper towel or paper towels Once you grab no you can do it with one. If you grab one paper towel and you only use half of it to get most of the water off. It's browning the other half to get
the towels they don't do anything you got to use three
okay in most advertisements,
the patent pending Leila way to wash your hands here it is folks to wash your hands regularly. Like you wash your hands preferably with two pumps of soap. And then to Yes,
No wonder I'm always having to buy you and so because I'm a very clean
I'm a very clean and you got to you got to wash them off. You got to wash off your wrists too. And then you walk over with your hands preferably like all stretched out and like the transload position. Walk over to the trash can. If it's by it should be by the paper towel rack thing if you're in a public space
Oh,
okay, he's gonna be okay,
we're back. My computer just went to sleep because I haven't touched it in a bit.
Yeah, but it did a weird thing. Well, Bob. So in the transfer position, you flick off your hands, like three to five times into the trashcan, grab two or three, preferably three. But if used to if you don't want to be that wasteful, and dry off your hands, and then open the door with a paper towel and throw it away, and then run, because you don't have that much time to go out the door.
Well, there you go, folks. And as patent pending, so you can you can take that process and go try and make money off of it.
Yeah, don't make money off of it. Don't sell it.
Wait a minute, that is so stupid, nothing to do with what you were just saying. Number 131. The movie trailers were originally shown at the end of movies, hence the name trailer. They were moved to the beginning because most of the audience just left after the feature.
It's called a trailer. Yeah. trails on
a movie that makes so much more sense. So I used to Okay, what did I think it's like, Who's that guy on YouTube that puts the ads at the end? Do
good and drew good. And I think he's changed that, too. Right. But he used to, but like,
that's the way to do it. It's like, all right, you watch my entire video. Now, here's the ad I'm legally obligated to give to you to get some money, but you can leave if you want. Yeah.
Oh, wow. Drew's awesome.
So talking about keep jumping into the facts. And you're just kind of you're just chit chatting. Yeah. One facts and I think I'm good with that. So how many dimples do you think are on a golf ball? I'm probably about like, 30 336. Yeah, it was close. That's regulation.
Regulation.
So did you know that the guys on Mythbusters wanted to find out how much the dimples on a golf ball reduced drag on a larger scale. So they took a car and they covered it and clay so added a lot of weight to the car. Yeah. And then they cut dimples into the clay on the entire car in the car. Because that would be it would be cutting holes in it would create more drag. Because you'd have holes through the metal and then
that would create pockets to catch the stuff. But anyway, so they put it on the car and I think I want to say it improved gas mileage by 10 to 11%. So folks, if you want to save 10 to 11% on gas money, cover your car and clay and put dimples in it. Like big dimples. They were like, proportionally the same size car a whole bunch of cars. Yeah, put speed holes like The Simpsons. He took a pickaxe and put speed holes in his car. Simpsons. So did you know that Barbie and Ken broke up? Nope.
2004 Six years. Seven years later, they got back together. They were broke up for seven years. Wow. There you go.
So there you go. dragon flies have six legs, but can't walk. Let that sink in.
Wait a minute. What? I'm I'm trying to remember if I've never seen a dragonfly walk. Me Yeah, cuz they can't walk. What else? Things that aren't happening. Am I not noticing?
I love the way you said that. What else things aren't there happening? That I didn't. Oh, there's a huge spider coming down for me.
Oh, no. Where?
I don't say here.
I don't say. Oh my gosh. That is not huge. Okay. Yeah, but that is the tiniest little spider. The tiniest
little spiders can pack the biggest biggest hole punch. Okay. Okay, we live in the Carolina. Mountain Mama.
Oh, wow. Oh, no, I'm not saying that one. It involves poo. Oh, this one doesn't one lick of a stamp results in the consumption of 1/10 of a calorie. Oh, wow, you have to look a whole lot of stats to get your sense
of a calorie. So without how many calories like 181 180 100
So what is it 2000 A day about? Let's go with 1800 a day.
Let's just go with 2000 Because that's like the basis if your calorie doesn't deserve it, right? So times 10 Put another year on it. 20,000. So you need 20,000 envelope, and that's like licking all the envelope.
They don't even make lick stamps anymore. In America, what's it like stamp Alic stamp. A stamp that you have to lick to stick it onto the made those? Yeah, they all they all used to be that? Just like envelopes that had the they still have they saw the envelopes because we have something I don't like it.
Sneak it tape. Just paramiko sticker on it. What I did I have like a collection of Miku stickers that I use for everything. You
should take those to the convention since you're dressing up as me. Yeah. Anybody that complements your your costume. You give them one of the stickers I am.
There you go. I'm saving a couple from me that I like. And then I just have like a big old pack of just VOCALOID misc stickers.
The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
I was still talking about me who I'm
tired of talking about Miko.
Yeah, you don't care. I care a lot. I care a lot about today make you okay. It's estimated the Americans eat 505 billion hamburgers. Five 50 billion hamburgers
50 billion hamburgers last year. What number is that?
14. It's estimated that Americans eat 50 billion hamburgers each year. So that's like all the Americans now do you mean United States Americans?
There's no way we're eating 50 billion hamburgers a year. Think about
how many Americans there are
American Americans consume
an average in United States America.
That's what I'm trying to look at. Leila was reading the article said us adults. It says Americans consume an average of 2.4 Hamburgers per day. What what this makes?
get what I'm saying? I get what I'm saying. If you're thinking about every American. Okay, I could eat zero hamburgers. And I could have a friend that eats 50 billion hamburgers a year. No 100 billion hamburgers a year and we'd still equal out to 50 to $50 billion each year.
So it's to the average who point for burgers per day. So there's somebody for every person that does need a burger. There's somebody eating five hamburgers.
Yes.
Okay, so this I'm not this. I'm digging and I'm looking for. I'm looking for Okay, see, here's here's where it gets. This is why I hate stats. Okay,
okay. I hate that so much. These are fake. And I hate them. I hate them. It's so weird read. They never work. And you can't have minted calculators without opening stupid stat plot. Okay.
Here's what we got. They're talking about quarter pounder burgers measured by weight. At 220 pounds per person. Overall new consumption comes out at 222 person. Equivalent 814 Okay, so they're counting a big burger like a half pound burger from a restaurant like a real good half pound burger as two burgers.
How do they know? And
then is this the number of actual burgers or the actual hamburger meat because we put hamburger meat in our spaghetti. Yeah, so if
you're counting a bun, lettuce, tomato cheese, sesame seed. Meat. That's a burger.
Yeah. See, this is just talking about hamburger meat.
Yeah.
Yeah. So that now I've seen adults
and also what about okay, how do you know? How do you know if I was eating a hamburger in the comfort of my own home? You have a camera? No,
but they do know how much meat was sold.
Yeah, but that doesn't have to be a dry hamburger. Right.
But they're going by how much hamburger meat is sold and how much? How many sales of burgers that I think it's propaganda. It's it's propaganda.
I think it's Papa Papa's freezeria.
I miss chi Labour's intergalactic boombox. He had a guy on there named propaganda. He did. Yeah.
This is propaganda against us, us Americans.
I like hamburgers, though. If added together. Humans spend about two weeks of their lifetimes kissing. Kissing, so
what if you don't? It's fine. The fastest gust of wind ever recorded on Earth was 253 mph. Wow.
200 that is fast.
Yeah. Oh,
I didn't know this. And now what I think about it seems seems very true. The only domesticated animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat. That's interesting.
BUSTA RHYMES. Oh,
no, no, don't let you tell about Busta Rhymes here in a minute. Ravens blueberries. Ravens know when someone is spying on them? Do they ravens are smart. I love ravens are so are smart.
They're so cool. I like how it took me a second to figure out that we were talking about ravens. Ravens are so cool. Crows are so cool. Wait, which ones are the cool ones?
Bro ravens are like a kind of a type of crow. So I thought so. But I like the way ravens look better because they get that bump on their beak and then makes them look like they like you can train, you can train crows to steal for you. Like, that's why you're not allowed to have them as pets. Because what was happening was people were getting a bunch of crows and training them to find the money and count. Exactly like how do you how do you enforce that? Find a pet? How do
you find a vegetable? Because if we'll go into the vegetable thing here. So if I let's say I've got an apartment in the city, right? And I'm training like there's this crow that hangs out on my back porch because I've always got something out to eat there for him. Is that a pet? When does it become a pet? Like do you have to like take it to the vet and
get it like tagged as a pet? I don't I don't understand. But like if you just got some crows that like hanging out on your on your stoop, ya know?
How do they know? Right?
When does it become a pet? So I think I think this is just one of those laws that they put on the books to like, make the law abiding people be like, Oh, I'll get over CRO guess not I'll get in trouble. Yeah. But you know, it's, uh, it is what it is. Did you know that? It is what it is? Oh, tell about that. Tell us about the island.
Oh, so there's an island somewhere. No worries. Hold on. I Massachusetts is home to Busta Rhymes island. So there's an island and Massachusetts would you say like 40 feet by 40 foot? Yeah. And it's named Busta Rhymes island. There was this dude that visited it and it was like, Yo, I think Busta Rhymes really like it here. So we named it Busta Rhymes Island, literally.
It's got a rope swing, and it's got blueberries and he's like, I think Busta Rhymes would enjoy.
That's so funny to me.
I just get an image of Busta Rhymes. walking up to the blueberry bush and somebody's like, putting the blueberries into a basket. And there's give me some of that. Give me some mo because he's already had, and he wants more. Oh my gosh,
we need to make a skit.
We love you. We love you
send him this formation. Yeah. So oh, let me find another one.
There are some really good ones. Um,
how reindeer like to eat bananas.
How is that a fun fact?
And bananas is considered a berry. Whereas bananas Wait, wait, wait, wait, there's
nowhere that reindeer live that bananas exists.
Okay, roll roll number 58 A bananas is considered a berry.
All right. So what's a vegetable?
So what's good I like the way this is worded. A bananas is considered a very Oh could what is a vegetable because I was thinking about the other day. And I'm thinking they got a chip in my brain. Because I was thinking what's a vegetable I don't think I've ever like considered something a vegetable. It's always got something else to it. And then I see a YouTube short like the next day and it's about how vegetables don't exist. And I'm like they put a chip in my brain
to read my thoughts. They know what I'm thinking about.
Yeah, yeah. Okay, Quiznos vegetable.
Give me a vegetable.
I don't have any vegetables. Celery, I would consider a vegetable. Patch to type of grass.
What is what is there?
Okay, so the word vegetable vegetables are parts of plants that are consumed by humans and other animals is food. The original meaning is still commonly used and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter including flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots and seeds. An alternative definition of the term is applied somewhat
arbitrarily often by culinary and cultural tradition. It may exclude foods derived from some plants that are fruits flowers nuts cereal grains, but include savory fruits such as tomatoes core gets what's a core get flowers and broccoli Oh score get is like a zucchini or something. So okay,
they're a vegetable is an edible portion of a plant there's no biological definition of a vegetable so anyone that says that tomatoes are a fruit are correct, but anyone who says they aren't vegetables is incorrect. So vegetable is a concept so fruits or vegetable can't eat a concept. Fruits are vegetables. Fruits are vegetables. The
United States government has a has a United
States government got a chip in my brain and now they got vegetables as constantly
advertisers have a chip in your brain. It's this little Intel sticker they stuck on the back. I can't peel it off. Okay, so food pyramid Let's not go let's not go negative you're going to so negative lately food so the old food pyramid had bread cereal rice and pasta groups and it had vegetable groups and fruit groups but if fruits are vegetables does the
same thing that's why they got a line in between them. They're trying to segregate them
but then you've got meat, two servings and like yogurt for two servings. How much yogurt Are you supposed to? They redid the yogurt and they redid the food pyramid recently I think this
is my plate yeah my plate I hate it. So

Total.
Men who? Men hiccup more than women. I believe women blink almost twice as much as men.
Women blank. See, I
don't believe in that. Because I hiccup way more than both y'all.
Yeah, but okay. So this this comes up a lot. Especially online on planet Earth, especially on like podcasts where they have panelists and they get like not the smartest people to be the people on the panel. Who'd have no idea how to like, Wait a minute. This one instance doesn't disprove averages. Yeah, so you can't look it?
I know. I know. I know. I
know. I know. I know.
It's like walking up to a woman and being like the average woman is five foot five foot five. Sorry, but I'm five foot six. It's like you hate it has nothing to do with you. I
know as rubbish revolve around me. Your
world does revolve around the moon rubber bands. Rubber bands last longer when the refrigerators we need to put our bands in the fridge.
Oh, what do we have our bands?
Yeah, we got a big old bag of rubber bands. Jupiter gamertag.
Jupiter is twice as large as all the other planets combined. That's pretty cool. I love Jupiter.
Oh,
what's your favorite planet?
Probably Earth. That's Elaine for all my stuff.
I like Neptune Neptune is a pretty cool planet. High fives all those Neptune lovers out there.
What what is even going on with Neptune?
Neptune is so cool. Wait, hold on Neptune. Octave Thorpe. Okay. Octave.
Thorpe is another term for the pound sign. I was looking at more of the facts. And I didn't know how to I didn't know how to say this. So
cool. Dr. Thorpe. Does that hurt my ears?
So instead of saying hashtag or pound sign? You can say October sharp. Oh my gosh. I'm gonna start I'm gonna start saying octothorpe No, because a sharp actually has it. italicize italicized octothorpe that's it from now on. Anytime somebody's talking about hashtags. I'm gonna be like octothorpe so blessed vacation. The third new look. I don't know what people hashtag these days. Mulan has the highest killcount of any Disney character. Hey,
wow. Do you Do you know why why sweat is considered smell bad? No, it is a combination of water, fat and salt mixed with bacteria. That's pretty good bacteria eat the salt and fat. And what happens after you eat something? And it's you're done with all of it. You poop it out. You make it, you make it. And that's what they do into the sweat. So anytime you're sweating you stink. It's actually it's bacteria poo.
Alaska is the only state whose name is only is on one row of the keyboard. Oh, yeah, yeah. What about Rhode Island?
Nothing. Nothing about Rhode Island.
Mentioning Rhode Island, states,
like Rhode Island. Don't even qualify it. We need to get a shirt that just says Rhode Island on our shop. They can't copyright a
picture now with anything just Rhode Island, medical fine, and we didn't have I
don't like Helvetica,
the Weezer font. And because it's the Weezer font.
I had something very clever to say and I don't remember what it was now. We know before we got into Rhode Island,
your fingers nails grow faster under dominant hand.
I feel like I knew that. I feel like that's one of the ones I knew. The fear of beards is Pogo on the phone via Pogo and a phobia. Speaking of beards, I don't know how I don't know where that's going. But how about some moves. This is a value from a podcast, we put the show out for free, we're gonna do not do ads, or take any corporate dollars. We do, however, take money from you, our wonderful listeners, if you get anything from the show, feel free to put a number on that and
send it back to us. We can't tell you what our show is worth to you. If it's worth a buck every four or five months, virus or bug every four or five months. If it's worth seven or $800 an episode that would be acceptable also. Or if you just want to help us out by sending us content in the form of letters or boosts. Boost is money and a message. So it's content and money. You can learn more about boosting check out
other episodes. We've talked about it a lot, but you can get a new podcast app and send us Satoshis via booster grams and send a message like Dr. Scott did. Wow. So I had a communication with Dred Scott about last episode.
Uh huh. And what this event and
this message came from trip, Scott after a little conversation, says 10,000 SATs from Dred Scott, thank you so much for 10,000 SATs at Toyota Sienna 10,000 in there is becoming more and more representing them. Sats are worth more and more every day. Yeah. Like and I'm liking the trajectory of the of the price on that. But it says from Dred Scott who used the app caste thematic to send this moose from my wife, Paisley imperfect. You can check her on YouTube Paisley
and perfect. Yeah, a mom of twins. In regards to clothes.
Some tells me this after we record, he's like, oh, you know that Dred Scott has twins right.
So something to know. We dressed them in the same for a couple of reasons. This is after Lilo's rant, my huge rant about how I hate it. Number one, when they only have five minutes in the store before one of them poops all upper back. It's way faster to just grab two of everything and go 100% valid. I was thinking about that when she was ranting number two, they fight over everything. So if they don't match, it's a constant battle of who's going to wear what nobody has patience
for that. And the rolling around laughing emoji. Thank you for the 10,000 SATs. So on the second note, I have a thing with my wife Phaedra where when we go to get something like cell phone for example. We got different cell phones one time and while hers had a couple of features that were better than mine, and I was okay with that. Mine could do a couple of things hers couldn't do and it ate away at her so from then on, anytime we get something and we're both getting we're both getting one
about the same time. Almost every time we have to get the same exact thing.
The same phone for forever yeah
last three phone upgrades we've done we've gotten the same phone now this most recent one I went with the Pro. I went with the Pro and she went with the regular because they didn't have to have the pros are two of the regulars they had one Pro and one regular the store and she was fine because the only difference is my cameras the camera on the Pro is a little bit better. It has a physical zoom and it has more memory, or more harddrive space. But wait, everything we do on the show.
Unless we say, well listen, we're being serious. You know, it's like a serious subject. Everything is ingest everything is fun and our opinions
and don't take anything we say as fact, right?
Nothing on this show is meant and a mean spirit even when we're ranting about something. Yeah. We believe and live. It gets my gets my goat. Right. And but yeah, we're just we just live and let live and you know, we enjoy getting poked fun back at so
yeah. Okay, so that you'll have the same sense of humor that we do about it. Exactly.
Everybody listening. We have a great listener base couldn't ask for better fans. 1357 sets from Kevin Halsey. This is for the episode twins. During the galling hiatus. The hiatus was because of gallstones. I tried quote, hate listening to the old shows. Phenomenal. David laughing at everything especially as his only twin daughter. Which is funny because she's always talking about being a twin right
only only, only child 20 Child twin. Only twin daughter walks off cliffs steps on rakes and fearlessly cold reads poorly written facts. Yes. Go back and listen. It's up to you. You do what you want.
I don't have control over you. But if it was up to me, I wouldn't have to delete them from the internet. Right? Because we're much better at it now. Yeah, if you listened to any of the older episodes, I'm fine with it, I guess. But just remember that I was like 10.
Four years is a big difference between 10 and 14. So it is. Meanwhile, this is still reading from the thing. Meanwhile, master criminal Phaedrus schemes to take over the world as her delightful family is distracted. I guess that was like talking about how Shih
Tzu in the den. doing her own thing. So
much love joy and family fun. This could be the best podcast in the universe.
Yeah, we are. I think we
congrats to Phaedra on her high score of gallstones 100 Plus, I added and took away little words just to make that flow and make more sense. Yeah. And then just listening. Welcome back. Three exclamation points.
So 709 SATs? Yeah. So
189 SATs from fountain? I believe. I'm also missing teeth and my wisdom teeth came in without me even noticing. So yeah, you got people people got a butt teeth or teeth are pretty easy to fix. That's scary. And then, right after that, the fist bump just listening. 101 Yeah. 101 SATs from just listening. Also modern medicine doesn't know Jack Welch. Okay, that's a big exaggeration. But many really do like to talk and perform surgeries and give drugs like they know everything and
time. And again, they're proven wrong. kids used to be given Mercury for teething as recently as the mid 1900s. Wow. I'm glad that they are good at putting people back together, though. Yeah. I've, uh, I've met a lot of doctors. And I've worked with some doctors. And some of them do kind of have, like, I know everything. I'm a doctor attitude. And but I think the majority of the ones that I've dealt with anyway, they're, they're least trying to help people. Yeah. But sometimes they
do think that they know more than they actually know. And they're not. But that's everybody. That's any any profession. And I am extremely grateful for the ones that were Phaedrus surgeon. I'm not gonna say his name. But he was he was very passionate about what he did. Like when he came in, and then like, he can to use the tools that he uses, like the little tiny camera thing and the little grabby stuff. Like he was when he was telling me about it. I was nerding out because I love
that kind of stuff. And but he he had a passion for what he did. He wanted to help fix people, and he was excited about it. So again, I'm just listening like you said, I'm glad that they're good at putting people back together. And but yeah, so we're definitely appreciate all the Satoshis and we're we're loving that and having a good time with that. We appreciate the notes. They don't have to be through boost. If you ever want to send us a note you can get ahold of us at mail

And where else are we Fun Fact Friday? aerator sorry at Fun Fact Friday at social medias media.com And you can get a hold of us that way. Do we have any more facts that we have any more anything that you saw that you were like, Oh my gosh, that I
was gonna say okay, Okay, on average 100 People choked to death on ballpoint pen each year. That was the
100 people, only
five people die from Shark attacks a year on average. So we should be time since instead of
sharks 20 times more people, ballpoint pens and sharks. Yes. 20 times and I'm
not saying that people don't get injured from sharks all the time. I'm just saying, we should be more afraid of ballpoint pens.
No, that's
okay, there's a spider crawling up. He's crawling off. He's getting away. In data isn't being fast enough. He's getting it eventually. Oh, we don't knock it over to your cup. Oh, mazel tov.
What do you do? It's very.
Oh, hey, okay, he's grabbing it. He grabbed it. He's balling it all up. He's Oh, squeeze squeezing it really good. So does and threw it in the trash can next to me. He hurt his hand trying to squish the spider
the wrong way. How dare he. All right. There was a little adventure for the end of the episode. Yeah, that was that was cool too. sizable. Go ahead. And they're about the
same number of stars in the observe observable universe as there are grains of sand and all of the earth beaches.
Yeah, that was that was on purpose. That's really cool. I always liked this story. I think everybody my age has heard of airlines saved $40,000 in 1987. By eliminating one Olive from each salad served in first class. It's like, oh,
it's like a subway. They can only put like, three or no, like, four olives on your Subway sandwich. Right? It's a footlong.
So they had um, back in the day, a subway employee? Let me in on a little secret. Oh, and I don't know if this is still how it is. I doubt it is with all the computers and stuff now. But they used to only inventory. The bread. Oh, so they could add extra meat to anybody sub and not tell anybody. Meat. And nobody would know because they didn't even inventory it. They just bought X number of meat X number of cheese each week. And it will be delivered and they will make
their things now all they ever inventoried was the bread. And I was like that's crazy. But we're 52 minutes in on our second go. So we're gonna and we're gonna go get some food and go to the movies. So everybody have a fan tastic wonderful weekend and amazing. Next week, and we'll talk at you to you with you. Next week on Fun Fact Friday.
