David: What does bamboo have to do with electric light bulbs?
Leila: Let's talk about that
good Fun Fact Friday. So today we're talking about light bulbs.
And I like light.
David: I'm gonna be going into the history of light bulbs.
Leila: I'm just talking about why not?
David: Yeah, you're kind of freeform going freeform with it.
Yeah, so I'm David.
Leila: I'm Leila. I'm Rhett.
David: Link apparently.
Leila: Yeah, I like red better. Even though you look more like
red than you do, Link, do I get the beard and the kind of lack
of hair.
David: So we're talking about Good Mythical Morning. Good
Mythical Morning. What were the show we're talking about and
we're kind of Perry Perry. Perry. Perry ailing Pierre Yang.
Here, yay. Welcome, welcome. And we're gonna be talking about me
apparently, lights. And I'm trying to get to my notes since
due to verbal stalling while I get to them, because um, I
didn't have the right
Leila: window, click it on your screen. You have a touchscreen.
As we heard in the previous episode,
David: so talk a little bit about lights and how they got
started, like, not light itself, because that's like, you know,
like the first thing, right? First thing there was talking
about artificial lights like humans, using like when it's
dark outside having a way to light up and be able to see in
the dark, the earliest way that we found that we could kind of
figure it out. Beyond just like having a bonfire. artificial
light goes all the way back to 500 BC, when they had bamboo
pipes that carried natural gas from volcanoes to light the
streets in ancient China. Later on, the Romans lit the front of
their homes with oil lanterns that had had special servants
who tended to the lanterns. And 1417, the Mayor of London
created a law requiring all homes to have lanterns hung from
them during the winter, and the front and the front of each
building. So that's like the earliest artificial light that
they were using. You know, and I guess when you when you say
artificial light, it's still fire. But like not just like,
hey, let's just set something on fire and use the light from the
fire. Like, let's come up with an idea of purpose built which
you get
Leila: the table. I'm trying to put my foot on the table tables,
just like,
David: yeah, we're set up temporarily on a coffee table in
the in the studio here. It's not a permanent solution. But it
works for now.
Leila: Right? And it's a pretty crappy table. It's a pretty,
pretty crappy.
David: No, it's good. It's a good table. It's a coffee table.
But the tall has these Yes. It just needs to be maintained.
Yeah. The top of it lifts up to like regular table height.
Leila: So it's a cool label. It's just old table.
David: Right? I just need to get I need to like grease up the
joints and tighten some of the screws and we need to be like
refinished to the top of it
Leila: articulate the splines
David: we need to articulate the splines.
Leila: Let's see. So do you want to get into the well, I was news
let me
David: let me run back through the rest of the history of
artificial lights. A little bit. So in the 1700s lighting
fixtures were basically poorly made oil lamps and candles. Most
of the lamps obviously, they emitted bad odours and lots of
smoke. I know I've got an oil lamp. I thought you were gonna
say I know I got bad. I know I've got bad Well, you know
everyone does depending on what you eat. But I've got an oil
lamp and when I it man, it puts out this kerosene smoke and it
Oh, it's just gets all over everything. And the 1800s the
gas lights were replaced with candles and oil lamps. Sir
Humphrey Davy created the first carbon arc lamp in 1809.
Although the lamp was very bright, it was powered by an
early battery and the battery drained very quickly. And then
they moved on to filament. Or sorry, they moved on to
incandescent lamps. The first patent was introduced to
Frederick de mullions in 1841. Do you know that first filament
or sorry first incandescent my brain has brain because when I
think of like a incandescent bulb, it's got to fill them in
you know, so like anyway? Yeah, his lamp. It was made of glass
and had a charcoal based filament and a partial vacuum.
But in the burning of the charcoal The bulb became dingy
and then as it became dingy it dimmed so there was like, like a
shelf life essentially because it was just get too, too cloudy
inside of it and go late 1800s There are more strides and
artificial light sources. A patent for an incandescent lamp
with a carbon filament was issued to Henry Woodward and
Matthew Evans. Woodward Evans was eventually sell their patent
to none other than Thomas Edison. Those are some lame
names. Yeah, no, they sound like NPC names. So Henry Woodard and
Matthew Evans sold to Thomas Edison, Edison began testing
different materials in the bulbs and ended up using it comes back
around carbonised bamboo filament that would burn for
1200 hours. Edison got a second patent for the incandescent bulb
with the bamboo filament. So he didn't invent the first light
bulb, but his Edison screw in lamp is the one that we still
even use today, like the screw and light bulbs. That was Thomas
Edison's patent. From what I understand a lot of Thomas
Edison's things that he's attributed with inventing, he
basically bought he bought the patents from people. So for a
lot of money, he paid for his name in the history books. Yeah,
I'm sure he can make history. Yeah, well, I mean, he paid the
people for their inventions. And then in the 1900s, tungsten
filament lamps came about around the whole 1911 1913 were would
see another improvement, and they filled the glass part of
the bulb with a gas and it had a twisting filament which improved
the performance. 1925 lamps were all lamps were made of clear
glass. And then I've listened to Marvin Pipkin invented a way to
reduce glare by adding silica coating to the inside, thus
making frosted lamps
Leila: These all sound like names that when you randomise
your Sim character they'd come
David: up, right. You're just like random name for for NBC. Or
your Yeah, just give me a random name. That was already taken
roll again. Marvin Pipkin Sure. And then the 1950s halogen bulbs
came around. And they were very, very bright and lasted a lot
longer. And then LEDs. They were discovered by accident. The LEDs
that are in everything were discovered by accident, Gary
Pittman, and James Baird. Again, these names were working on
laser diode, when they discovered the first light
emitting diode LED in 1961 1978. The first LEDs were used as
indicator and display lights. In the early 70s. Joseph led Joseph
led in 1971 of the one or more components needed develop bright
white LED was invented in 1993. That was a problem with the
early days, they couldn't get them to be white. And they had
to test and test and test and they finally got him to where
it's about as close as you can get to white, emitting, emitting
light. And yeah, so that's kind of kind of where we're at today.
I remember in the late 90s I was messing with LEDs, with like a
little electronics kits and little projects I was working
on. And I was like, why don't they just make these brighter?
And he used them as light bulbs. You're so smart. And then people
were like, like, what kind of light and you'd have to blah,
blah, blah. And I'm just like, I just feel like it would be
because I was powering these LEDs with like a tiny little ear
with a hearing aid batteries. Yeah. And it would wash battery
power forever. I mean, it was like weeks. And I'm like, why
aren't we this? They just barely eat any energy. Why don't we not
make the plastic around the actual light? Why don't we make
that clear, instead of frosty red? Like you get you see the
little LEDs you put in projects, like make it clear, then we
could use it as a light bulb. And now Oh, somebody else got
rich off of it was my idea when I was 13.
Leila: Yeah.
David: I'm sure it was already in the works. But so that's the
history of artificial lights in a nutshell. Yeah. Do you want to
facts? Do you want to jump into some more facts or do you want
to?
Leila: Okay, I have quick facts and I have like a little deeper
facts.
David: Okay, well, do you want to do quick facts on it? Sure.
And then we'll maybe thanks some folks.
Leila: Yeah. So like isn't these are so basic. Old Hold on. Let
me find some better ones. Did you not research your facts? i
Okay. Look, look. There. One of the quick facts is light is made
up of energy. like, bro, everything's made up of energy,
bro. I'm made up of energy.
David: Oh, boy.
Leila: Okay, so visible light makes up every week. I can't
read because I was reading Shakespearean stuff today. And
on my readings all messed up.
David: You got shakes your brain, Shakespeare brain?
Leila: I do. It's called the old Shakespeare brain yield, yield
six. Sorry, visible light makes a very little of the
electromagnetic spectrum. On the spectrum, you will find
everything from infrared to gamma rays. I think you already
knew that. But
David: yeah, that's a pretty common, but not all of our
listeners may have heard that. Yeah, if you look at, if you
look at a line of all of the spectrum of light, waves,
frequencies, the range above is visible spectrum is very, very
small on the line of light. That's why like infrared cameras
and all the different sensors they have on telescopes and
stuff like the the fancy telescopes they have out in
Hawaii and whatnot, they can pick up more than just the
visible light spectrum.
Leila: So there's a change in plans. I'm not going to read the
little fast facts, because they're also boring.
David: All right. Anyway, we don't we don't do a lot of show
prep around here.
Leila: Look, I skimmed them, I skim them to make sure that they
were decent.
David: Well, one of the reasons we haven't done a lot of show
prep for this week, and one of the reasons we're a little late
this week is because of
Leila: good news. We have been receiving good news all week.
Don't worry. This is all we're doing.
David: Okay, why don't you tell them what our good news is?
Leila: You gotta think about cats. But we also have another
good news story soon. All right,
David: let me talk about the cat. It's like a one minute
story. I came across this story about this cat and I've lost the
link it did not transfer over when I synced. Nevermind. No,
I've got it right here. It's in my it's in my bookmarks. And
I'm, I'm just talking to make sure we don't have any dead air
while I pull up my bookmarks. And Tom Bailey, the Turkish word
for chubby was a cat who lived in Istanbul, Turkey. Tom Bailey
would sit on the steps shown in the image above. There's an
image of Tom Bailey the cat. He was this chubby chubby cat. And
he would sit on the curb and Istanbul, not Constantinople.
And just kind of like leaning and pondering that look right?
Well, sadly, he passed away in 2016. Due to a severe illness,
he was a street cat. He didn't really belong to anybody. But
after he passed away, they made a statue of him. The city the
city had like so many people go in and like requested the city
put up a statue so they put up a statue of this cat is fat cat
leaning on a on a bench. And then somebody stole it. And but
Leila: it was me Well,
David: well, no, because like I stole it. I'm trying to I'm
trying to there's the mayor of the town. The mayor of the town
had this amazing speech Yes speech about when it was stolen,
stolen, stolen, stolen. So in on November 8 of 2016, the statue
had been stolen, prompting an outcry and concern both in
Turkey and elsewhere. And this is a quote from the Turkish MP.
And he's got a Turkish name. I'm not even going to attempt that.
Is he said they stole the Tom Bailey statue. They are. They
are enemies of everything beautiful. Tom Bailey. All they
know is hate tears and war.
Leila: And Tom Bailey.
David: And then two days later, they brought this statue back
and put it back. So oh man, I'll bet I'll bet whoever stole it
thought it would be funny prank to tag or have it on their house
or whatever. And then somebody came over was like, No, man, you
take that back. You take it back right now. Anyway, I thought
that was a fun story. Link will be this.
Leila: Don't be any fun. Bobby Lee, the right to light.
David: Leila. What's your good news?
Leila: Oh, my good news. I was about to talk about lights. My
good news are our good news. Communism, you know.
David: The people's good news.
Leila: We got a 3d printer.
David: The 3d printer came in. And it was a refurbished 3d
printer. So I knew there might be some issues within there was
there was somebody Shoes. First I thought it got delivered to
Florida. Because UPS said, Hey, we delivered your package today
to Florida. And I was like what? So I went on newegg.com, which
is where I picked up the printer. And they said, Yeah, it
went right to Florida, right? We're right where we're supposed
to go. And I'm like, what? And anyway, I get a hold of the
company that shipped it out because it was through a new
eggs marketplace. And suddenly, like didn't really have anything
to do with it. And they said, basically, what happened is they
typed in a different boxes, tracking address into my new egg
order account, account order, so that they were like, oh, no,
see, here's your tracking number, we put the wrong one
into your account. So here's your tracking number, your
printer will be here tomorrow. So I got the printer, I opened
it up. And there's a screw missing. I start putting it
together. And it is one of the screws not that's not just for
like stability that I can kind of just like rubber banded
together or whatever. It was one of the actual functional parts
that without it, the printer would not function at all. So I
had to run to the hardware store, match up the match up the
screw, Bring, bring the correct screw back home, got it up and
running. And it was not running right. It kept the base plate
kept skipping, because the belt that draws the base plate back
and forth was the motor that spins the belt was not lined
aligned correctly. But the piece of metal that it was bolted to
to that aligned it was bent. So I'm like ah and it's really
thick metal so I couldn't just like you know, he made it back
into shape. So basically I lined it all up properly and then
jammed coins in between the metal as if they were washers
because I don't know where my washer like the the little 11
cents box that has all the washers in it. So I jammed a
penny in a dime and screwed it all together and squished
opinion diamond everything's everything's working perfect
now. So an 11 cent fix. Yeah, literally. Yeah. So they go
that's our end the 3d printer. We have printed nothing useful
out yet. Leila has printed a cool little fidget toy.
Leila: That doesn't function correctly right now because I
don't have the magnets for it. Yes,
David: she's gotta go get some magnets and glue them in.
Leila: But we have magnets are just too big. Yeah,
David: so we got to order some magnets for but the cool thing
is, is that this I've seen this fidget toy on Amazon for like 20
bucks. And we printed it out for like 12 cents worth of filament.
Yeah, so that's, that's pretty good. A couple a couple of
magnets, maybe a bucks worth of magnets. And so yeah, a little
little fun little toys like that. If you think of anything
really cool for us to print, let us know mail FunFactFriday.com
But we're gonna be using it for a lot of useful stuff. Leo's
gonna be using it for a lot of her cosplay. Accessories, things
like that. Be fun. It'll be fun.
Leila: So do you want to talk about the shirt that we sold two
weeks ago? Oh, yeah.
David: So let's talk about our supporters. You can support the
show. We do have a merch store at store dot fun fact.
friday.com. And we sold a shirt and a sticker we did. And yeah,
a couple of weeks ago. We're pretty excited about it. Yeah,
we got $6 found out. Yeah, he did. We talked about this. What
I think we maybe did a couple weeks ago. Okay, well, well, we
Leila: did again, again, because he said it and we
David: got to plug the store. And if you happen to go back
through any of our old episodes, and notice, oh man, we should
make a t shirt about that we can make a t shirt about that. How
long remind us what we were talking about at the time? Did
you hurt your back? Always. While you're sitting in the
chair, like sitting sideways. If you sit in the chair like a
normal human person, it wouldn't hurt well.
Well,
Leila: that was ready. The right to light. There is an English
law called the right to light that the law dictates that if
someone has received natural light in their building for more
than 20 years, they're allowed to forbid the construction of
buildings that would block the stream of light.
David: Oh, that's a it's kind of neat. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of
like a grandfather II type things. It's like yeah, it's
been that way forever. And we're not allowed to change that.
Yeah. But there was rules about the the way that buildings were
built in some cities that it can only cast so big of a shadow. So
I can't ever I had to look it up but I remember them. That's why
some The buildings all of the buildings in some cities are
only so high or they're like tapered.
Leila: Yeah, whatever.
David: So any any any way the right to light anyhow right to
light lows right to light.
Leila: Anyhow anywhere anywho anyhow I already said that the
the light that never went out. Do you have stuff on this?
David: Yeah, I've got that on the century light. Maybe the
centennial bulb. Maybe this was this was I had a whole thing
about this. All right, well you go off. So we say so way too
much.
Leila: I could talk about why you're getting it. I've got to
talk about the angler fish.
David: No, I don't have an angler fish yet. So there is a
bulb in California.
Leila: Okay, I'm gonna readjust my sitting position. Okay, I'm
David: gonna mute you. There's a bowl but in California that's
been running for like 120 years, give or take 122 years, this
thing's been running. Minus a few hours you were opposed your
volume back up and you're still making moving noises. First
installed at the fire department hose cart house on L Street and
1901. This bulb has been continuously running since then,
minus a few hours. Shortly after it was installed in the L Street
firehouse. It moved to the main firehouse on second. And in 1903
it was moved to a new station, station one on first and
Michelia OD. C was the name of so there's there's the the
custodians of the bulb now, like this bold is big deal, because
like it's a tourist attraction now. Really? Yeah. I mean, when
it went out, let's see it was off for about a week. During the
first 75 years, it was connected directly to the 110 city power
110 volt city power, which was subject to power outages. So in
75 years, the bulb was only off for about a week. And it was
power outages that caused it and you can't really, you know, not
much you can do about that. And they didn't want to hook it up
to a backup generator because sometimes generators will surge
and it would have might have caused a problem and popped the
bulb. In 1976 it was moved to moved with a full Police and
Fire Truck escort under the watch of Captain Kirby slate to
its present station, our present site of fire station six in
Livermore, California. It was then hooked up to a separate
power source. So it's on its own power source now. It's at 120
volts. And it has a UPS which is uninterruptible power supply to
basically a big battery. According to Frank mole, retired
city electrician, there was one interruption in May of 2013 when
the UPS failed, and it was off for nine and a half hours. When
it plugged back in, it shined at 60 watts for a few hours.
Normally, normally, it only shines for at four watts. In
this context, the more wattage bulb has going into it the
brighter it's going to be what
Leila: is a watt?
David: What's a What?
Leila: What is a watt? What what is a watt? What? What is? What
is it he's
so there's this thing, and it's funny
David: are you talking about who's on first? Yeah, it's
Leila: called who's on first? Okay.
David: It's called who's on first by Abbott and Costello.
I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people know what
heard is on first. Yes, it was. It's always kind of been a big
deal since it came out. But if you have not heard who don't
who's on first by Abbott and Costello it is a classic comedy
routine. And it is well worth looking up and listening to it's
probably public domain at this point. So old, I could probably
maybe it's not even a thing.
Leila: But I was saying what the what,
David: oh, what is a unit? It's, I, I'm gonna say this wrong and
we're gonna get so many messages if you're gonna if you're gonna,
if you're gonna correct me, you correct me with Satoshis in a
boost. All right. It's the current it's it's the amount of
power There's something you're getting the definition.
Leila: Yep. So you don't say it wrong. Okay, I'm gonna Yeah.
What is the why in simple terms? The what is a measure of the
rate of energy transfer over a unit of time?
David: It's how big the pipe is.
Leila: Is that why they call it a watt? What? Because you're
like, Well, no, no, I know there's a dude named Joseph.
What I noticed
David: when he accidentally when he accidentally turned on the
electricity spigot on the outside of the house is still
the water. What? It's always been explained to me that the
like, as the simple way to explain it is like, wattage is
how big the hoses? What's a joule? And the amperage is how
fast the water is moving out of the hose. Or something. No,
that's not right. Like, I know how to do the equations. I just
can't talk about
Leila: work. I learned all of this in math class, but it went
all over my head.
David: Well, we also learned all of this. You learned all this
one. We're making those circuits. You learned all this
stuff? Do you not remember? Five years ago? Yeah.
Leila: I know. That's kind of important.
David: I'm feeling really stupid right now. And I can't explain
it. Oh, what? Smart. Okay, explain it to everybody then.
Crap. No,
Leila: I don't know how to explain. Okay, so like, if
there's 60 Watts, it means there's like 60 joules per
second. So if you have like 40 Watts, that means there's 40
joules per se, I think. So it's just saying how many joules per
second that is, that's so lame. We just
David: need to do a we just need to do a, a electricity episode.
So I can refresh myself on how all this stuff works. The
Leila: general science Well, general math.
David: So the thing I knew all of this stuff at one point, when
I was working with all of it, but like, now, I've done myself
down with all these online calculators, like when I need to
do the math on resistance, and, you know, all that kind of
stuff. And I'm working with a three. And like, when I was have
wiring up the the shed, I was dealing with amps on the breaker
and all that stuff. And I know I'm doing I know like the rules
you don't if this is this, then this is dangerous, you know?
Newton's a unit of work, right? There's some kind of some kind
of, so it was a jewel. Yeah, it's all it's all. They just
need to they need to condense it down as
Leila: I know who Isaac Newton is. Okay, is the unit of force
for the Newton is a unit of force in the International
System of Units doll. Oh my god. It's like, okay, well, yeah,
it's a unit
David: of force. Work done. My
Leila: gosh.
David: I will mute my mic. Take it, take it away.
Leila: You're always interrupting me. It is defined.
I
David: have never once interrupted you. It is default,
never watching the history of this entire show.
Leila: I can see your finger going up to slider. It says
defined as one kilogramme times, miles metres per second squared.
This sounds so lame.
David: So it's the don't care about is asking question. I'm
not trying to interrupt. Okay. Yeah. Is it the amount of force
required to move one kilogramme of mass one kilometre? I think
Unknown: one newton equals Hold on.
David: Let me let me look at the picture. You turned it away.
Leila: Okay. One Newton equals A equals one. metre per second.
Okay, where'd pushing on one kilogramme. metre metre per
metre, I think
David: the amount of force you'd have to move one metre, a one
kilogramme, one metre in one second.
Leila: Okay, wait. Yeah. So there you go. So this is equal
to one kilogramme metre per second.
David: We're giving away the completely wrong information.
Right now, we're going on a picture on Google images.
Leila: equal equals equal to one kilogramme metre per second
squared is what are you okay? You're interrupting me choke
when Newton equals one oh
I'm just done done.
David: I I want to do well we will do an episode on the new
way. We'll we'll do it on the Isaac Isaac Newton, the fig
newton Fig Newton, Newton, the Newton's Laws Nuit news and the
newt from the cartoon show. I don't know what we'll find every
kind of Newton and we're gonna do a Newton episode on Newton's
Leila: anyways, oh, before we continue, I want to talk about
my Angular fish.
David: You've done well angler fish in a minute, we didn't talk
about our support.
Leila: I thought you had that covered. I just
David: did the shirt part. And then
Leila: I would have talked about so
David: this is a value for value show. We do the show for you,
and by you sometimes.
Leila: If you wanted to be by you, you can Yeah, just shoot us
a
David: message mail FunFactFriday.com Fun Fact
Friday one on Twitter. Fun Fact Friday at social domains
media.com Let us know what you want us to do for a show. Send
us your fax and this corrections tell us what a Newton is. Tell
us what a what is in easily terms. I've gotten spoiled by
the calculators that really bothers me that I can't just
explain what the what happened. I know what it is. But I can
Leila: go and get my notes. So it's cool from science class,
but no idea
David: Hello, Pat is running a little slow. So we receive we do
receive support and value from money sent to us. And it helps
us pay for our server cost has upgraded the studio hubs is
getting new gear syndromes saving up for a new laptop. We
are going to be selling 3d printed items pretty soon we're
going to go in and design some cool stuff and let us know if
you need something printed. Just you'd like you know what you
need. And we can print it for you and just a little bit of an
upcharge for our time and let us know we'll print it out for you.
We can do up to 11 inches by 11 inches by 12 inches so we can do
a real big print. On this printer. What are you picking a
sticker or something? Yeah, I can hear it. And no we're not.
We're not an ASMR thing. Stop
Leila: losing viewers by the second Yeah.
David: Well hello Pat has taken forever to bring up fish.
Leila: I could have been done with my angler fish segment by
now. Yes, you
David: could have we received 1000 sets from I love sushi on
fountain. Hello. Love your podcast. It always makes me
smile. Well hey, thank you appreciate that. We received 333
sets from Baroness Love and Light circuses episode 333
through fountain and says love to you all and chewy kisses.
Yeah, yeah. Thank you for that. And again from Baroness Levin
like 333 sets episode 137. Congrats on the new studio.
Thank you. Well congratulate back atcha for hearing us in the
new studio. All right. Yeah. Were you ever had somebody tell
you Happy Birthday like oh, yeah, you too.
Leila: Yeah. fair thing to do. So it's called throw them off.
Never let them move.
David: And I believe Yeah, this was last episode. I'm I believe
we mentioned during the episode but a 101010 SATs 101,000 SATs
from Dreb. Scott boosting for the fun facts. Okay. Yeah. Thank
you. Dreb. Scott Dreb. Scott does our chapters if you're
using podcasting 2.0 app chapters are going to be a
little late this week. He has a event going on, that he has to
do some work on. And so chapters will be a little late. And take
your time Dreb We'd do the podcast for fun. And take your
time. We're not in a rush. And we definitely appreciate you
doing that work for us on the chapters. So yeah, that's it for
our support for this week. If you want to donate to the show,
go to FunFactFriday.com click the donate link or if you're
using a podcasting 2.0 app, click the boost button and send
us some Satoshis now, I think before you do this anglerfish
nonsense. I think we just need to go ahead and end the show for
the week. While Why is your mouth again? Is it over there
with your mouth open? Like what do you do? You're in shock. What
did you just look at?
Leila: This angler?
David: What about him?
Leila: It's not an angler fish. I'm talking about something
worse than an angler fish. It's called a stoplight loose jaw.
Oh, what is their terrifying I looked up what they actually
look like is it a type of fish? It's a type of fish. It's kind
of like an angler fish. I'm gonna tell you about it. And
we're not ending the show for the week. You might already be
familiar with the angler fish that hypnotises prey with
bioluminescent light before devouring it. However, there is
also the less popular stoplight loose jaw who takes advantage of
its prey specially called me in high school. I'm trying to say
why anglerfish back everyone okay, go ahead takes advantage
of its prey phrase this really does see red light. It projects
a beam of red bioluminescence to hunt with ease. So it it barely
the fish that it eats cannot see red light. And it's really deep
of course, so it's there's no light. So he makes red light
from himself or herself. And that's so creepy. It's kind of
neat. It's kind of neat kind of gravy. I like it kind of neat.
Okay, I like it because it looks
David: like scary. It looks like if you told a kindergartener to
draw fish. And then you said make it scary. What? What a
kindergartener withdrawal is what this fish looks like. It
looks like just you know, the back of it is just fish. And
then the front of it has this ridiculously huge jaw with these
razor sharp teeth. And then it has like these red glowing eyes
that apparently
Leila: match an angler fish but without the angler. And then
imagine it squished and then less chubby. Yeah, it's like
skinny angler. It's like a like a you know,
David: if you're listening in the chapter images are not up
I'm sure Dreb found an awesome picture of the loose Jaw Stop at
a stoplight loose jaw.
Leila: Yeah, but it's like a skinnier. I would I don't know.
Fish man. Bless you.
David: I don't know what's going on with Pam coffin.
Leila: Everyone, I'm nice, man. Yeah.
David: So Leila has started saying bless you for any
involuntary bodily noise. Like I cracked my neck the other day.
She's like, bless you. Oh, man. So I pulled my neck. I was
helping my mom move some. Like, she still had some of my stuff
at her house when I was a kid. And we were going through it and
there was this big box of books.
Leila: Oh, that's weird.
David: And can I finish my story here? I'm fine. You interrupting
because I interrupt you all the time. I didn't know if you like
had to tell the people right now.
Leila: Do Okay, so you did it bless you thing that I just
said. Uh huh. My website I scrolled down and the thing that
I see is bless you. If you find yourself with a tickle in your
nose when faced with bright light, you're experiencing what
a significant percentage of people experienced.
David: I used to work with a lady who's weird that every time
she walked outside if she did not have sunglasses on, she
would start sneezing uncontrollably. Yeah, whenever
sunlight.
Leila: Me saying bless you, right. But anyways, continue. So
yeah,
David: I was pretty much done with the story. I was lifting
this box of my old books. Me and my brother's old books and the
way I was leaning into the closet to pick it up. I strained
my neck really bad. So then I instinctively cracked my neck
when I got up from my computer chair the other day and Leila
was like bless you. I'm like, Ah, this is like an excruciating
pain. And my neck has been killing me for like three days
because I was holding my neck wrong when I was picking up that
heavy box. Maybe shouldn't have done that. I know. Right? I'm
not a young man anymore, apparently. Apparently. So you
talked about the stoplight lose job but you haven't talked about
what is an anglerfish?
Leila: bioluminescent tree. Scientists and developers are
working developers, you're not gonna talk about the Anglerfish.
I'm gonna well if you want me to. I mean, fishes are cool. I
like Angler Fishes.
David: It's a fish
Leila: that has this little on it. This little cool little guys
David: sticking out of its forehead with a light mobile.
Leila: Okay, Wikipedia.
David: Didn't we talk? We talked about them in our bioluminescent
episode didn't mean we had an island. Now we had an episode
where we talked about bioluminescent stuff, because
I'm one of our animals. Which one animal episodes probably
during the fish one Yeah. Or the caves episode caves. That's
probably what it was. I don't know. bioluminescence is neat,
because like living things, putting off light as long as
like bioluminescence. I like the ones whatever it is on that
beach. That there they only turn on when they're disturbed. So
like as you walk along the beach. All your footsteps are
blue behind you like glowing blue. I've seen those. That's
really cool.
Leila: So bioluminescent trees
David: Okay, is it the tree itself or is it a fungus on the
tree? Maybe Are you reading right now? As we go? Yeah.
Leila: Scientists and developers are working on extracting the
bioluminescence that occurs naturally in certain jellyfish
and fireflies. And if they're successful, we could soon have
bioluminescent trees that will not require energy. Why do we
need energy? To make trees glow? Are we trying to make trees,
David: they're trying to make trees glow.
Leila: Trying to make trees
David: so they don't have to pay for streetlights.
Leila: I found it funny that they said scientists and
developers like devs and a video game.
David: Your brain when you hear developer go straight to video
game. Kind of what world you live in.
Leila: Excuse me.
David: All right. Do you have any more significant facts about
lights? No. Okay, so a little update for the show. We are
entering the summer months. Which means that unless we're
out of town, we'll be pulling an episode live on Thursday nights
at 7pm 730 to 730.
Leila: No, I'd rather do it seven to seven me more time to
take a shower go to bed. Okay.
David: Okay, so, seven 7pm. On Thursdays, we're having our
meeting here scheduling meeting, we're going to be going live.
And that's gonna be a FunFactFriday.com. And it's also
going to be on any podcasting 2.0 app that supports the lit
tag and the live item tag. And were hoping to do it every week,
except for we will be we know that there's gonna be a couple
of weeks where we're not gonna be able to go live because of
pre planned events. So check us out live, it's always more fun,
because we'll be in the chat room. We may also start doing
video again, I've got to talk to some people about hosting a
video live video. In addition to like Twitch or YouTube, or
whatever we're going to be on. We're hoping to also self host
of the video stream because we don't want someone else's
platform being our only platform that we're on. Because now we
are doing yourself. And then it's always way more headache.
But you know, there's always a fallback. That's why we have
FunFactFriday.com. So yeah, that's our little programming
note, and we will see y'all next Thursday live.
Leila: Another good.
David: Good Fun Fact Friday.
Leila: I don't know how they ended we.
David: Yeah, we kind of did a little take off on Good Mythical
Morning.
Leila: We're gonna start doing that more often. Yeah, dude,
we're
David: gonna model the beginning of the show after the beginning
of other people's shows. throw you off a little bit for fun.
But we are going to end the show with quiet Kyle, because they
still haven't edited
