Leila

Hey, welcome to Fun right?

David

That was just mumbling. Yeah,

Unknown

I know that's

David

what we do here.

Leila

Mumble we're mumblers. Welcome to

David

funfactfriday. We're a weekly podcast where we discuss topics surrounding different facts, no facts surrounding different topics each week. Ooh,

Leila

this infographic anyway, yeah,

David

no one of the one of the sources I picked. Well, hey, infographics, if you have a topic idea for us, send it to mail at funfactfriday com or hit us up on our socials. Yes, please. Yeah. So this week, what are we talking about?

Leila

Infographics? No. Oh, can weird ingredients, in crap, yeah,

David

weird ingredients. So I had an exchange with one of our, our loyal listeners, and we got to talking about guano, and that's, that's, that's poo, bird and bat, poo and, and I was like, yeah, it's got, um, there's, there's, they put that in makeup. And then I was like, oh, let's do a whole show about really weird and gross stuff that's put in food and makeup so that I feel like there's enough information there for an episode, right? So, yeah, that's what we're gonna do. Before

that, though, I got, I got a story. What story? And it's going to be for the nerds in the audience. If you're not interested in my computer and networking woes and triumphs, you can skip ahead probably three four minutes. So about a week ago, our network attached storage device, henceforth known as the NAS, one of the pools of of hard drives in it just, I was, I was doing a backup, and it just kind of kind of stopped

in the middle of the backup. And this is right after I've I spent a week like deep diving into an old hard drive to get all of our family videos back. And I got all of our family videos and pictures back that I thought were gone forever because of a bad hard drive that I didn't back up. So I get all that back, minus a few, because a few were corrupted. But I get all that back and I've got it on the NAS. I'm like, All right, let's do a

NAS backup. And then that hard drive cluster failed, and it failed hard, like so hard that the NAS froze up and I couldn't even access the device. After about eight hours, 10 hours of being very upset, we'll just say i i got it to where I could at least get those hard drives backed up to the other hard drives in the NAS. And then I ended up taking those hard drives, wiping them, tried to reformat them back into a pool that has to where, like one or two of the drives can fail. It's

called a raid pool. And I tried to do that, and it didn't work. So, like, I couldn't use those hard drives anymore. But anyway, I got it to where now there's no redundancy. I've got it in what's called a raid zero. And raid zero means that if any of the drives fail, whatever's on that drive is just gone. So the NAS is, it's not letting me do it in any other raid format, and I'm very upset about it. So I'm talking to the manufacturer of

the NAS and seeing if I can figure out what to do. I really don't want to have to send it in, because then I'm without an ass for a while. I'm like, wait a minute. Let me do let me do this. I'm going to build a new NAS out of parts. So I bought a $40 old op Dell Optiplex 5040, with 16 gigs of RAM, no hard drive, and a 65 high 560, 500 processor, and I tried to get it all up and working, and realized that those, those, uh, don't, don't come with standard parts in them. They're Dell, like,

proprietary connectors for everything in there. I'm like, Ah, so I had to go buy a bunch of adapters. And then the hard drive is not sitting right, so it's acting weird. And then it was just a it was a week of computer problems and network problems, but about two hours ago. I got everything working. Everything's working. I've got the old NAS. I've got a R sync set up. So every, every night, that one's gonna back up to the new one, and then it's all, it's all working. So I'm just gonna,

I'm gonna walk away from it. It gets everything's working, I need to stop touching it. And then also our Umbral node, which is a Raspberry Pi. It has been needed to upgrade to the newest version of the Umbral OS for a while now, and I haven't done it because I'm afraid to, because if you if that messes up, I. In the process of upgrading it, like you gotta, there's, there's all kinds of problems. You gotta, like, rebuild your channels, and you gotta, there's a whole, whole mess of things,

if anything goes wrong. Well, that is the first project I've done computer related in forever that everything went smoothly, nice. It was first shot the the Umbral was only down for 10 minutes, and it was, I'm just, I was extremely excited that that one went smoothly, because that one, you know, it's the Emerald mode. That's how we get our boosts, yeah. All right, so I think that's, I think that's all I wanted to say about that. All right, so I had to, I had to, just, I had to get it off my

chest. I had to tell that lots of lots of trials and tribulations in dealing with Linux and weird network connections and all that stuff. But I got it all working. So let's talk about some weird ingredients, yeah.

Leila

And apparently, an infographic, yeah, so I which one is it? A big hater, food packaging labels.net. Food.

David

Page, yep, food packaging. Labels.net, link in our show notes. It's

Leila

a second one. It's, let's see, it's in an infographic. Why would you make an infographic? Well, I don't know. I guess it catches people's attention, yeah,

David

but you should also have it in text, because then it's searchable and it's SEO friendly. Yeah,

Leila

this is just an image. Come on, man, right?

David

That's weird. Oh, one more computer thing. Sorry. But I rolled up our own AI model on my main computer, like my gaming machine, with the powerful graphics card and everything, and it's just as fast as, you know, grok, or what's the one on Microsoft copilot? And the answers are right on par, and I can put different models into it and everything. So I'm pretty excited about that. It's pretty cool. It's really neat. Okay, so weird stuff, antifreeze, antifreeze. Antifreeze is

delicious. Do not drink it, folks.

Leila

It's used to thicken food. What? Propylene glycol? Oh, antifreeze. So what? It's not antifreeze. It's just an ingredient in antifreeze.

David

So it's like saying the website's lying to you.

Leila

I don't know why the internet would ever lie to me, but, yeah, is it a.com

David

it's a.net Yeah, see, never. You can't, can't trust a.net anything you can't trust anything except for dot coms.

Leila

That's like saying, Oh, sugar is poisonous because you got salmonella from that one thing that has sugar in it, huh?

David

It sounds like you're a news anchor on a major news network. I

Leila

am, actually,

Unknown

I am the news

David

I'm a journalist. Yeah, any freeze and icing on your case? Yeah, propylene glycol is in everything. Oh, yeah, I love propylene propylene glycol is in a vape juice. Oh, that's one of the two main ingredients. It's also in like this, says food thickeners, like cakes or icing on cakes.

Leila

Did you know that? Um, what ticks produce antifreeze? What like? Yeah, it, it's to help them survive in cold temperatures, and like the Lyme disease feeds on that.

David

Oh, we could do a whole silly speculation Saturday about Lyme disease. I would love to do you know who invented Lyme disease?

Leila

Jeremy No. Jeff, no, Joseph, Lyme disease,

David

no, that was the US government. Of course it

Leila

was, I love the US government. Why would they ever do something like that?

David

No, it's an interesting topic. It's a very interesting topic. The things that I've most of the stuff I've heard about Lyme disease, I've heard from conspiracy theory podcasts, so I really need to look into it myself. But I've heard, and this is all just speculation from people that I've heard it from was that the US guy was supposed to be a US government bio weapon of some kind, or something like that. Well, I'm not, I'm not saying that it

Leila

was like against the Geneva Convention, yeah, but

David

this might have been before the Geneva Convention. Oh, yeah, it's been. I don't know. I'm not. I don't want to say anything on a funfactfriday com because, because it's all just speculation that I heard on podcast, and I don't remember it well enough to even really talk about it. So let's get off the topic. Yeah, um,

Leila

shellac, shellac. Well, shellac, from

David

what? What's a shellac with you?

Leila

So is shellac bug based? That's what I'm so what I'm thinking,

David

What number are you on three? Number three food packaging labels. Shellac is used for, like

Leila

it's to smooth out the candy, oh yeah, to keep it from keep it from

David

melting in your hand. Yeah, it's a shellac. I thought. I didn't know shellac was a actual. I thought it was like a loose term for things that you like. You shellac a

Leila

bench to keep it rain from use it on, like tables and grab Yeah.

David

So that's what I thought. I didn't know shellac was a I thought it was like a term for a verb. You know, you shall act something meaning you put a coding, gosh,

Leila

I've known that it was a noun, okay?

David

Define shellac. It's a noun, a purified lack, yeah, it was a noun. It's a shellac. Is a purified lack. Yeah, what's a lack?

Leila

Maybe you should know that what's a

David

lack with you? Um, oh, a shellac. Here's the number one definition, resin

Leila

secreted by lack insects on trees in the forests of India and Thailand.

David

So bug juice. Bug juice, yeah, yummy. It's juices that bugs produce that's disgusting. So what's it used? Like a juice used in varnishes, paints, acrylic sealants, and formerly in phonograph records, yo,

Leila

nail polish. But yeah,

David

so I guess that's a cosmetic, Yeah, but why is it on the food ingredient? It's

Leila

fun nail polish, because it's edible. So just edible.

David

Oh, okay, yeah, cuz I guess they put it on candy. So that's, that's okay,

Unknown

yummy. All right, so

David

how about, how about, um, how about snail slime,

Leila

that one's not that bad. It can it contains, aren't this,

David

aren't that bad? A lot, yeah, a lot of aren't terrible, like and you're not eating it. So Snail, snail slime contains something called mucin, which I guess is like a mucus. It's a group of proteins that's rich in amino acids with a strong capacity to hold water for softer skin. Oh, good one. Thank you because zoom tight. Thank you. And you can find the mucin in super seven elixir face cream that is $325 Oh, my gosh.

Leila

This is something that link from Breath of the Wild would like, like, when you throw everything in the pot, you just watch it smoosh

David

up to some bugs and apples and tar, and it turns into a

Leila

Bokoblin Fang. Oh, wow. Number seven elixir face serum. Look at that.

David

It's not available on Amazon.

Leila

Looks like some communists.

David

Communists charging 320, $5 for some lotion. Yeah, that's communist serum

Leila

I've ever used by Betty C, are we reading?

David

We're gonna start reading Amazon reviews on the show. Absolutely. There's definitely not an ad for this stuff. No wool grease. You ever heard lanolin? I've heard that today. I've heard lanolin before, and because they used to, they used to advertise it on on some like, stuff that, like moisturizing creams and stuff. They're like, it's got lanolin, which is basically just like, sheep sweat. It's something that the the sheep produced, like, the sheep's wool, yeah, it greases

up the wool. So, like, if it rains, it doesn't soak in, soak into the wool very well. It's,

Leila

it's in chewing gum. You

David

know that? Yeah, that's, see, that's where I'm, like, some of the things like we were talking about, it's not that bad, you think about it, and you're like, oh, but

Leila

then you're like, sunscreen, right,

David

right? I get it on the lotion stuff because, I mean, if they're making it with their skin, it's obviously good for the skin or

Unknown

hair. Good? What?

Leila

Yeah, was it for their skin or hair, right?

David

They're an animal, kind of, like, kind of like, how cow milk is cow milk really good for humans. I'm on the I'm on the

Leila

fence about it. I'm on the note, not, you're on the knot. I'm in the not. God, no, you have your issues.

David

How about skin cells? I love skin cells. Human skin cells. Human skin cells make up most of the dirt in your house. Oh, yeah, we've

Leila

been over that. Yeah, we have, like, I was like

David

that, what feels like yesterday, skin cells harvested from one original source to help heal burn wounds. So I guess they have a culture of a certain person's skin cells, and that person, okay, we're gonna have to find that. I can't remember her name, but basically there was a woman who sells, they still use in, like so much science, so much research, because her cells, for some reason, they constantly keep regenerating. So like part. Of her are still alive. Like her

skin cells keep regenerating. Like normally, after so many generations, they stop splitting on a cellular level, but like her stuff just keeps going. And I think that's probably who this is talking about this on Harper's Bazaar. So it says these cells were harvested from one original source to help heal burn wounds, which eventually led to the creation of skincare lines. These cultures contain a matchup of proteins, growth factors and other beneficial ingredients that are effective

in improving overall skincare or overall health of the skin. So they're using skin cells from another person and making stuff out of it to help your skin huh? Is that interesting? I'm gonna have to find out that person's name, because there was a whole lawsuit about it, because their families, like all of these companies, have made billions of dollars off of our relatives, you know, cells, and we're getting nothing.

Leila

So the FDA allows one rat hair per 100 grams

Unknown

of chocolate.

David

That's not a lot of grams. No, those little candy bars that we just got from Aldi are 25 grams each. Yeah, so every four of those you're allowed to have one rat hair.

Unknown

Yeah, that's,

David

um, wait, that's more than I would like,

Leila

Okay, wait, this isn't worded weird, okay. It says the FDA, FDA allows one rat you are squeak in your chair. One rat hair per 100 grams in six 100 gram sub samples of chocolate in 60 insect fragments per 100 grams in 600 gram sub samples, huh.

David

Okay, so basically, what it's saying is if, if they pull six samples of 100 grams each.

Leila

Oh, okay, so in a hun in 600 grams,

David

and 600 grams are allowed to have six red hairs.

Leila

No one right here per 100

David

Whoa, there's a stink bug.

Leila

I'm sorry.

Unknown

Oh,

Leila

why do they fly? So they fly, hey, this is what

David

you don't get in one of those AI podcasts, okay, the AI podcasts are going to be taking over. We have heard, we have heard recently, a someone took a transcript of our podcast and ran it through notebook, LM, I think is what it's called, and created a podcast out of it, and basically it sounds like a podcast giving a five minute summary of our podcast with AI voices. So

Leila

are we official intelligence?

David

I yeah, that's, we're not. Yeah, it's not actual, it's official. We're official intelligence. That's what? Okay, that's, that's a shirt. I don't know right now. Do we need to kill it? Do I need to pause it? Oh, no. If we kill it's gonna, it's gonna, yeah, that's

Leila

what I'm saying. You

David

want to get the vacuum. If we sucked it up in the vacuum, that would work, because it would stay alive.

Leila

You could, okay, well,

David

the vacuums over there by you. All right, no, I'm gonna pause it. Pause it. Ready. Okay,

Leila

get copyrighted?

David

I just don't want to listen to you sing that headphones on. The bug situation has been remedied. We

Leila

can put them in some cosmetics now. Official intelligence, we are the official take care of

David

it. Yep. Official intelligence, be venom. Oh, bee venom contains at least 18 pharmacologically active components, including the what pharmacologically pharmacologically active components, including various enzymes and peptides. It's used in skin care to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It's worth a try, as there's data that exists, supporting the efficacy.

Leila

So, do you know what silicon dioxide is? I do know what silicon dioxide is. What is silicon dioxide? Delicious, real.

David

It's in tacos.

Leila

It's sand, it's sand, it's glass powder. Yeah,

David

and they put it in tacos.

Leila

Yummy. It's an anti caking, anti, anti, anti. I'm gonna say anti, because that's better caking agent, yep, they put it. What helps it not be cake? Is this cake?

David

Is this cake? Yeah, that's they Wendy's chili. Yeah, they put it in. Wendy's chili. They put it dude, I

Leila

forgot when he said, chili. Okay, no, I

David

my microphone came loose from the thing. They also put it in the lunch meat. What? I

Leila

clicked on a video that was scary. Oh, no. I clicked on a video by accident. They

David

put it in the lunch meat from not lunch meat, the hamburger meat from Taco Bell. I. Oh, yeah. Like, it's way cheaper than bed. They

Leila

use it in, like, the nachos of school. Oh my gosh, it's probably all sand. It's all sand. It's just a sand

David

and bugs. That's like, that's all you get in public school.

Leila

School lunch is so like, middle is a line that it's not even notable, like, it's that bad, like, it's not even on one end of the spectrum. What do you mean? Like, okay, so being the worst would mean that it stands out in some way,

David

right? It's kind of like somebody told me so bad that a long time ago, we're talking about that when you you know you've got, you got your love, right? And you love somebody, the opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is indifference, yeah, because hate means you still have feelings towards that person and you think about them, whereas indifference, like I bet there is somebody in England named Bill that I've never thought about in my entire life. You are

now, right? But I don't, I think about him. I'm just thinking about a name, right? I'm not like, visualizing anybody. So it's like, if I hated somebody, it's better than being completely indifferent towards them. Like, I don't even know who that is, you know. So like, if you, if you've got an enemy, you kind of love them, you know, it's just on the hate end of love. Yeah, I know what I'm talking about. So, so the bugs

Leila

have you keep going on that, right? Just like, get more and more crazy with

David

it. So there's hate, and then there's love, and there's, like, think of like, a teeter totter, everyone connected, and there's, you know, there's a teeter totter, and there's somebody on it, and you hate them, but then when it goes down, you love them, but then when it goes up, but then when they jump off, and, like, you slam on the ground really hard. You Oh, man, I don't know where I was going with that acne but that was the fun about it, acne treatment. What's about acne treatment?

Leila

I don't know. I just saw on your screen.

David

Oh so beetles.

Unknown

Beetle juice,

David

if your makeup, go check your makeup, folks, if it has Carmine in the ingredients list, that is a coloring that is made up from Cochin coconio beetles. Yeah, coconut these insects are native to Mexico and are crushed to release a vibrant red dye. It takes 70,000 of them to produce one pound of dye. I don't

Leila

think they're crushed out. I think they're boiled. They're boiled in ammonia, and this stuff comes out. Yeah? Sodium Carbonate, pretty terrible.

David

Um, it's also used, or it used to be used as an ingredient in strawberries and cream. Frappuccinos, berries and cream. Yeah, strawberries and cream. All right, that, okay, strawberry flavored stuff. I got, I got a I got a bone to pick with strawberry flavored stuff. Calm down. Strawberry. Big strawberry. Big strawberry needs to calm No, it's not even strawberries. It's just strawberry flavored things.

Whatever the flavoring is that they're using for the strawberry flavor, they need to be using about a third of it, because everything that strawberry flavored is a, way, way overpowering every other flavor. That's just my, my that's, you know what? That's. My two cents on the subject

Leila

I'm asking, AI, what, what strawberries are? Yeah, see what it thinks the strawberries are. Certainly sorry, I

David

need to take a drink.

Leila

What are you talking about? Strawberries? Oh

Unknown

my gosh.

David

Oh my gosh. It's still going, come on co pilot, oh

Leila

my gosh. So I asked it, what com, what do companies use to make strawberry flavor? I expected like a, like a two sentence answer like, oh yeah, I'll use this. Isn't this? Actually, I'm gonna ask it, hey,

Unknown

hey, you

Leila

sum that up. I can't read this.

David

Is gonna talk to you,

Leila

certainly. Here's a concise summary for you that's much better, much better. Companies use a mix of natural strawberry compounds, synthetic flavors, essential oils and rigorous quality to control and create the delightful strawberry flavor we all love. So

David

that's that doesn't really answer the question. So

Leila

synthetic compounds like ethyl met methyphenol glycodate, that's a big word,

Unknown

and like, what is it even talking about? Oh,

David

wow, this has gone off the rails.

Leila

Okay, I'm not so okay. It's just a whole bunch of chemicals.

David

Sodium bisulfate is used in most toilet bowl cleaning agents. It's also used. Extend the shelf life and bleach out the discoloration of potato chips.

Leila

Potato chips.

David

I got a bone to pick with the food people of America, people making food, okay, we need to stop worrying about what something looks like

Leila

real. I want to eat something that is I am perfectly

David

fine with something being a little discolored, as long as, like, like, okay, so, like, you're making chips, right? You can stop using the stuff to bleach out the chips and just put on the bag. Hey, look that. If it looks a little like this, that's what it's supposed to look like. Put that on the bag. People will be okay with it. I promise you, I

Leila

should order all of the ingredients that people make to use strawberry like flavoring and make it better

David

by just using a third of it, yeah, or

Leila

using a little bit of different ingredients, because this ethyl ethyl, methyl, finial, glennial, glyceate, whatever is, like, 10 bucks on Amazon Oh, my heck, yeah, yeah, I could totally make something out

David

of that. Yeah, you could, um, you could put, like, a tiny that's how you make, like, strawberry shortcakes and stuff. If you want this, the actual cake to taste strawberries. Yeah, you would use that. So, um, you were talking about sand earlier. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, they put sawdust and stuff too, yeah.

Leila

Okay. There was this experiment some dude did on YouTube, like three years ago or something. I think I saw it during, like, the lockdown. But he took his friends and he made a whole bunch of Rice Krispies Treats. But he had this bucket of sawdust that he bought off of Amazon or something, and he slowly and slowly, like, made the rice krispie treats with more and more sawdust in them. So the first Rice Krispie treats had no sawdust in them, right? They're just rice krispie

treats. The second ones had 10% the third had like 20% and it just kept getting higher and higher until it was like 90% and he wanted to make an experiment about how much sawdust Can you put in food before people start to notice. Or how much so in rice cookies? How

David

much did they notice? Like,

Leila

do you remember their results? 30 or 40%

David

they were like, This is really, this tastes really, a lot like wood shop class. Yeah, I'm remembering, speaking of which,

Leila

speaking of which, I have a friend that's taking um agriculture right now, and he made one of those, like, burn in a wood thing. And he made a picture of Tupac, but it looks really wonky, and it just came up to me today. It was like, I have the Tupac wood. I am cursing you. I was like, Oh my gosh. Where did you get that? He was like, I made it. It was just a really wonky picture of Tupac on a really darn piece of wood. Tupac

David

is overrated.

Leila

Um, rip. He's overrated sawdust.

David

What are you looking at? A sawdust? Um, there was another, another YouTuber. Um, somebody. I can't remember the the situation, but basically he lost a bet. And he had bet that if, if he would, if he doesn't win, he has to eat a door like his, his bedroom door, he has to eat it. Oh, yeah. So he was like, how am I gonna eat this without dying? So he figured out how much he could put, like, into his food every day, like just a little dusting of his door every single day until he

was done eating it. And you know, most doors, like interior doors, are hollow, so there's really not a ton of material in them. Enough as an exterior door, would be a whole different situation. But he had to eat the hinges and everything. I don't know if he did it, but apparently

Leila

this started off as a, like, science experiment, like a, like a school what do you call it? Science Fair? Uh huh, Whoa. That was like a whole new word for me. I haven't said that in like five years, science fair. Science Fair, Geez, it's a science fair experiment. It's really so I guess that's where you got the idea from. Looks like 2008 maybe so

David

was. It was a science fair experiment, and then he stole it for the video. Probably. All right. Anyways, so we need to start doing we need to go to the local go to the local middle school and, find some science fair projects and just steal them and make videos.

Leila

What I was going to say is that cheese has a little bit of sawdust in it, yeah, like Kraft macaroni and cheese. It keeps the shreds from clumping up, not to name drop, but

David

the article says it so, yeah, so sawdust, sand. Bugs.

Leila

Speaking of craft, craft owns a lot of stuff. Yeah. Leila is doing Yeah. I have a class that I had to do a bunch of research about companies.

David

I told her. I told her she should do BlackRock.

Leila

I want to for my next assignment. I'm probably. Really going to Yeah, that's we have to do, like, deep dives into products and all of the lines that the companies have with the products in them, stuff like that, and their

David

marketing tactics and things like that. It's a neat, it's a neat, uh,

Leila

I'm doing Pepsi right now. Oh my gosh. They own everything that, and Procter and Gamble and BlackRock, but you

David

gotta be quiet about those guys, yeah. Except for us, we're uncancellable. Well, um, so tarzine is derived from coal tar.

Leila

Oh yeah. Cold car sounds

David

like a, like a fantasy novel villain, coal tar. It's like, get out your swords. We're going to fight coal tar. Um, but yeah, orange, yellow and greenish foods and, uh, drinks contained eyes derived from tartrazine, which is the coal tar stuff, and it may cause hyperactivity in children. Oh, that's fun. It's almost like we should be growing and harvesting our own food locally with people that we know and trust, instead of these companies, not to get you know, ideological about

things. Popcorn, according to some studies, butter flavored microwave popcorn may be dangerous because it has a chemical called diacetyl. Okay. So this one the diacetyl. I remember when this came out, it's called popcorn lung. Or people are very upset about popcorn lung, and they were like, I'm gonna get popcorn lung from eating too much microwave popcorn. Okay, the people that got popcorn long were the people that worked in the factory. Oh, and they were inhaling the

powder itself. I don't think you should do that hours and hours a day, every day, working on the factory line. They did. They weren't wearing, uh, respirators. So they were just inhaling this diacetyl directly, and it caused, it caused problems, not your random, you know, microwave popcorn with a tiny little trace of the stuff in it. But I still don't think all these artificial things are great. I like the way they taste. But, you know, yep,

Leila

I think it's about all I got. Yeah, I was looking at the rest of

David

them, and the rest of them, and the rest of them are pretty much just all these sites get the same couple of facts, and, oh, there was one other one there's in gelatin. Gelatin is not vegan because it uses animal skin and bones and connective tissues, so like most of the parts that would be thrown away when you're getting the meat off of an animal, they grind up and turn into a gelatin. So a

Leila

lot of vegans use, like, agar instead of gelatin, right? That's plant based, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. So it's like a plant. What was that

David

a bummer? Mic, oh, on accident. It wasn't on purpose this time. So this is a value for value podcast. We put the show out there for free, and if you get some value out of the show, maybe you you know you're having a conversation with some folks, and you're like, Hey, I heard something on this amazing podcast called funfactfriday Comrade. You know, that's an opportunity to share some of the value with the folks out there. And you can also share some value by sending us a boost in a

modern podcast app. And we have quite a few boosts here, and I believe, let's see. Let's start with the oldest one. Yeah, we've got Kevin Hallisey rhymes with fallacy from Episode 202, Phantom time. Yes, it was an honor to it was. It was just in honor of the continuing mystery of the 847, donations, meaning, Oh, okay. Remember, we didn't know what that boost meant about the mystery, okay? And he had sent it. There you go. Yeah.

That was 100 stats from fountain. Fountains, one of those fancy apps you can use to boost if you sign up for an account with them, like you earn SATs as you listen. So you can listen to podcasts and earn SATs and then give those sets to a different podcast. So, like you can take, you're not taking money from that. Anyway. It's fountain.fm, it's a good app. And then from fountain. Kevin Halsey, again, episode 202. Phantom time. Nice show about the shared farce that is our

calendar 30 ish 30s. Farce. You don't like farce. I like that word. No. Your mom doesn't like the word parse.

Leila

Maybe it's like genetics. What

David

is it with the arse? He

Leila

also doesn't like the word fart. Oh, no,

David

I'm leaving that in dreadful fill up they did because I'm bald. So continuing with the boost 30 ish minutes is a nice weekly dose for fun. Fact Friday, oh, we're going over this week. Sorry, sorry, 847 for continuing the mystery. Absolutely. Eight. 47

Leila

sets. That

David

was 847, SATs from fountain. There's

Leila

another 847, from Kevin hellasy, uh huh. Go ahead and he says, I think I like the short shows. That is

David

excellent feedback. We definitely appreciate it. We weren't sure, definitely like it or not. Yeah, we're trying to keep them short, keep them especially under, like we just hit 35 and we're sweating. We gotta get out of here, literally, because it's warm out here. Um, and then another 847 from just listening a theory is only only the hypothesis left standing. The two terms are often confused. I learned that from the Dark Horse podcast. PS, I sent 847 cents first. PPS, 847

is a mystery so large I can hardly wrap my mind around it. I oh and i unintention, vented it. Oh,

Leila

yeah, no. Okay, so

David

is that a clue?

Leila

They unintention, ventioned it. Unintentioned

David

it. Yeah. So, okay, so that makes me wonder if we need to go back and listen to that episode and find out what 847 means, because that think that's the second time that just listening has mentioned that episode. I

Unknown

may have to go back and maybe

David

there's

Leila

some message that he wrote to us eight minutes and 47 seconds. Yeah. Shado, right now,

Unknown

sure. All right, I'm

Leila

pulling it up fun fact. Or was it an EIGHT letter word and seven letter word, that

David

could be it. But there's not a lot of eight letter words, not that we say in our show, not transcript. Search episodes. I went to funfactfriday com and click the episodes, and I can see every single episode. Okay, so unintention vention, which is I'm scrolling. It was 130 something, right? Sure, I

Leila

don't know. I don't keep track, I

David

guess. Oh, there it is, 158, okay, so I'm just gonna turn it down, because I don't how loud that's gonna be. I'm gonna jump to eight minutes and 47 seconds.

Leila

You have turned up.

Unknown

Hold on, Hello. Hold on,

David

I hit play, but it's got to pull it from the fighting in school, and it was always me getting attacked, and started the attacking. If

Leila

you record a fight at school, you get the same punishment as people that were in the fight.

David

I think that's good. I think that because, like, the to me, and you know, we're getting off the fun facts for a second, but like, the clout chasing the, you know, wanting, wanting to get clout off of a fight video or something like that. No, he's pretty lame. Doesn't really, I don't think that's it. I was worth wrong. It was worth the shot. I'm trying to look for clues here. I think we've got a whole arg going. But yeah,

Leila

we thought we were making one, yeah. So just listen, it's got a whole thing going on, maybe Kevin hellasy and just listener in cahoots.

David

Oh no, we can't have our listeners being in cahoots exactly,

Leila

speaking of which I didn't do my dual lingo over the

David

day. All right, everybody. We definitely appreciate the SATs and the notes, especially the one about short episodes. We're glad that that people are enjoying it. And on that note, we're going to get out of here and keep it under 40 minutes. Y'all have a fantastic weekend, and let us know if you have any other we have a couple more topic ideas from listeners that we're going to be doing soon. So yes, keep sending them. We appreciate it. Y'all have a fantastic weekend. Bye.
