internet gate. If you haven't seen daily dose of internet go
look it up on YouTube. It's not every day, but most days. He
just posts like fun stuff he found on the internet. It's all
very wholesome and all very fun.
Leila: Yeah, I mean, like how he'll pick Lipson I've already
seen like a month ago, right? And I'm like, Oh, cool. I
remember that that exists.
David: But he just has this very deadpan way of talking and he
kind of like nasally it just weighs voices. It's just is just
how he talks, you know? So yeah, we're Fun Fact Friday, and this
week, we are going to be talking about
Leila: nursery rhymes. But first.
David: A word from our sponsor. RAID shadow legends. No. actual
product. No.
Leila: Shade. Ratto leggins.
David: I'm not gonna go in and edit it out. No, air. Air is a
sponsor. We do enjoy that air. It's good stuff once you like
when you go. And the great thing. It's free. Most most
times I'm not really most times actually. It's not. Oh, yes.

David: big air. They air yours making all the money make air
Leila: making them
O'Hare. So, yeah, we're gonna talk about nursery rhymes. But
first, we're gonna we're gonna talk about the folks that make
the show possible. Not that app that Leila mentioned, we don't
we don't do sponsors, whereby you provide your podcast if you
find value in what we do, which apparently some folks do,
because we have a lot of value this week.
Leila: I'm gonna be honest, I tried that app out for I'd like
genuinely gave it a shot because I was like, that bad if they
have a whole bunch of money. It's trash. Yeah, like it's not
that great of a game. Sure.
David: I'm sure it is. Most app games. Right? If we ever wanted
one well, they they ended up they can they get people wrapped
up in the game and like they keep making them pay to continue
playing essentially.
Leila: Also, I've heard that those earbuds, the rake Oh,
yeah, the ones that are terrible. I hear that SEEN
PEOPLE DO genuine reviews. Yeah, I
David: hear that they're just fine. But they should cost half
of what they cost. And if they didn't advertise so much of it
and throw so much money and people. If they just made their
product priced unfairly, it would probably sell more. But
yeah, as their business model, whatever they want to do. But I
personally have no experience with them. I can't say one way
or the other. I'm just going from what other people have
said. Um, so yeah, we're value for value podcast. If you get

David: plugin that we did it. We did it. Sadly, I raised his
volume a little too much. For those who don't know, his volume
was a little low. And in the editing software, I did it a
little too high. So it kind of peaks out a little bit but it
should move. Sorry about that. It shouldn't affect shouldn't
affect the listening because I equalise everything. The end. So

sustaining donations where we some of it goes straight to
Leila her show with Leila and David just a producer. You know
what we haven't figured it out. I know we haven't done the
spreadsheet for this month. But actually that helped that pays
for the the server costs and helping us upgrade some
equipment. I'm about to have to go buy a new laptop because I
refurbished the arena refurbished I reformatted this
one I did everything I can do and it's just not. It's just not
up to par anymore. And my hobbies can't handle what I'm
doing. Then you spend some on your hobbies,
Leila: like the portion of $2 that I get to go to the servers.
David: No
Leila: more than that, but yeah, I mean, it's a joke. Okay.
Anyways, dad. Yes. Did you know that Humpty Dumpty sat on a
wall?
David: Oh, tell me more.
Leila: Well, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Oh, no. And All the
king's horses and all the king's men.
David: Ah, do they fix them? They they get to them and fix
them.
Leila: They couldn't put Humpty together again.
David: Well, that's. That's not that's not very fun.
Leila: It's not really nowhere in there. Does it say? Dumpty?
Humpty was an egg. That yeah, he was just dude.
David: I know, fell off a wall. I know. But why
Leila: does everybody think he was an egg and all the king's
men? Were like, oh, no, dude, let's try and put it back
together. They were crazy. They were crazy trying to pull up
dead man mega Taylor.
David: What? So? What Okay, so here's the thing. Why?
Leila: I have a solution.
David: Okay, so yeah, so every representation of Humpty Dumpty
I've ever seen. It was Eggman right Dr. Eggman? Right, like
Dr. Eggman from vector from Sonic. Gotta go fast like Sonic.
Leila: I love Eggman he's my favourite.
David: So, alright, so, so late on me why, why is he an egg in
popular culture?
Leila: So it was originally like a riddle. Instead of a nursery
rhyme. Humpty Dumpty is a character in an English nursery
rhyme. Probably originally a riddle, said probably. This is
this is a loser article. This is Wikipedia. This is not a
credible source. He is typically portrayed as an anthropomorphic
egg. Though he is not explicitly described as such, as I'm
saying. The first recorded recorded recorded versions of
the rhyme date from late 18th century England, and the tune
from 1870 in James William Eliot's national Nursery Rhymes
and nursery songs. Its origins are obscure and several theories
have been advanced to suggest original meanings. So this
doesn't say, let me go back To the thing that I was looking at
to for the solution, but the thing that I was looking at said
that it was originally a riddle. meaning for you to figure out
why he fell apart. I'm just saying he fell from a big wall.
David: Well, yeah, like Okay, so the the version that I've always
seen as he's sitting on a big old brick wall, being an egg,
and he's got some little pantaloons on and typically has
some kind of hat, and some jester shoes, and yeah, or
something like that. And then he had his he has a great fall, and
he falls off the wall, and shatters into a bunch of pieces
like an egg would do. And then the Aesop's really animated
kings, Kingsman and on their horses came in and the horses
were like trying to put them back together with their with
their hooves, and they can't pick anything up, you know? And
that tried to put the egg back together. And they couldn't. It
was sad, but it wasn't like horrific. Like it would be just
a person you know.
Leila: Okay, so the origins The earliest known version was
published in Samuel Arnold's juvenile amusements in 1797.
Okay, with the lyrics Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty
Dumpty had to re fall for score men and Foursquare more could
not make Humpty Dumpty like he was before. So that's even more
confusing. Oh, no,
David: see, that's less bad. It's less bad because it doesn't
say because it could have just broke his leg. Yeah. Or just
hurt. Understood. No. Yeah, he hit his head and wasn't quite
the same, you know, mentally. So at least he didn't like shatter
like the one implies, you know.
Leila: Oh, wait, but this one says humpty dumpty sat state on
a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Three score, man.
Oh, three score more. cannot place Humpty Dumpty as he was
before.
David: So where did the where the horses come from? Where
Leila: do you guys go? And where the horses come from? Yeah,
David: so a lot of well, they didn't write a lot of stuff back
back in the day. They didn't write it all down, you know? So
it was probably word of mouth. And the guy who told that one
forgot about it was four. And he just said three, because it
doesn't really matter how many it is because that's not the
part that rhymes.
Leila: So this is a picture from 1902. And the Mother Goose
storybook by WW when Denslow I said 1902? No, yeah. 92. And it
just says the riddle, and then it says in parentheses in the
egg, like you would see on a riddle. So I believe that its
origins were rooted in being a riddle.
David: Okay, so it may be some teacher came up with it, like,
oh, maybe they're doing that experiment where they have the
egg and they have to drop it and not break it. And the teacher
like put it to them like that. I don't know. This is all
speculation. This should be on Silly.
Leila: Silly speculation. So do you go ahead. Yeah. I can't
really find any hard evidence.
David: Do you know anything about Jack and Jill?
Leila: Yeah, they sustain head injuries.
David: Okay. Okay. So, Jack and Jill. They they went up a hill.
Oh, it was to fetch a pail of water.
Leila: You gotta get that water.
David: Jack fell down. Oh, no. And he broke his crown.
Leila: He was Royal.
David: Apparently. Jill came tumbling after. Oops. No, you
may have you may have heard this part before right. Well, Jack,
did you know that there's more? There's more. There's more than
Jack got up. And home that trot. Nope. Sorry. I said it wrong.
Then Jack. Then Up Jack got and home did trot. Just as fast as
he could caper. Dame Gil did the job to plaster his knob With
vinegar and brown paper. So she put a cast on him. Neat. Sure.
And then there's more than Jill came in. And she did grin to see
Jack's paper plaster. Her mother whipped her across her knee for
laughing at Jack's disaster. Oh no. This made Jill pout and she
ran out. And Jack did quickly follow. They wrote they wrote a
dog ball. Jill got a fall. How Jack did laugh and Hulu Hulu
Hulu H A L oh
Leila: man, these regulars man they keep making a word
David: I've never heard At anything past the first page
yeah the for Jack Fulton and Joe came total and after like I had
never heard now that says Jack and Jill so the other one says
the hobby horse so I think it's all part of the same story but
the the one with Dame Gil did the job, you know With vinegar
and brown paper. I think that's actually a separate nursery
rhyme may be called the hobby horse. And then there's Dame
Gill, where mom whipped jello across her knee and I don't know
what dog ball is. And they Road Dog ball maybe the dog ball is
the name because it's capitalised ball is the name.
Leila: Just kidding. nazzer whole bunch of balls for dogs.
Like those little tennis balls. So what what is okay, what makes
stupid computer? What is dog? Plus you
David: had a cough there. I feel like I muted it, but I'm sure
you could hear it in the background from Leila's mic.
Leila: Yeah, because you leaned over to my mic to do it.
David: You were like we were like five foot apart my mind.
Oh, boy. Apparently we laughed a whole lot on last episode for a
few minutes. And we got some compliments on that set of my
pancreas. Oh, my pancreas.
Leila: So it was fun. Yeah, I think we laughed a bit over
Newton's
David: so what was the other one?
Leila: I don't know what dog Paul is.
David: I don't know. I think I really genuinely think that it's
just the dog's name.
Leila: They rode the dog is a sturdy dog.
David: Well, I mean, if they're little kids, I used to ride our
dog Madison. She was huge. Alright, you ready for this one?
Sure. And then I'll go into the history of a little bit. Old
Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get poor dog a bone
to give the poor dog a bone. When she came there, the
cupboard was bare. And so the poor dog had none. She went to
the Baker's to buy some bread. When she came back. She thought
he was dead. She went to the joiners to buy him a coffin. And
when she came back, the dog began laughing. Laughing he was
laughing. I said that funny because of the room environment
with coffin. She went to the tavern for white and red for
white wine and red. When she came back. He stood on his head.
Leila: Me in gymnastics.
David: She went to the fishmongers to buy him some
fish. When she got back. He was licking the dish when she went
or she went to the Ale House to buy him some beer. And when she
came back, he sat in a chair. She went here she went. She went
to the fruit errs, to buy some fruit, the fruit herbs I guess.
Okay. When she came back, he was playing the flute. She went to
the shoe mart to buy him some shoes. And when she came back,
he sat reading the news. These are fantastic. Just the imagery.
Really, you know, you can see it. So yeah, nursery rhymes and
versus chants poems. Basically, it's things just amuse kids, and
sue them. And it's fun, little, little, fun little rhyming
stories, and Dr. Seuss kind of got in on the action, which it
wasn't so much nursery rhymes, but it rhymed. And it was for
kids. So it kinda kind of kind of was a form of nursery rhyme
just wasn't as old as all of these. And it's just meant for
amusement. Good fun stuff. They started coming out in the Hold
on, hold on. Technical difficulties. 13th century
that's what I'm seeing. And that was the oral tradition. You
know, they just handed them down, just little sayings that
get passed out. It's kind of like certain things get passed
down like that Super s. You know, where you draw the six
lines and then connect
Leila: them. And then really old by the way, that's like a really
old thing.
David: Yeah, the super essence super old hieroglyphics. Yeah.
The Egyptians were doing the Super s.
Leila: They were bored and math.
David: Oh, well, I think I was. I was probably in second grade.
Yeah, yeah. The second grade the first time I saw the Super s.
And I was like, Oh my gosh, and then somebody showed me Look,
it's super easy to draw. And I'm like, Why? Because it was all
you remember.
Leila: For that,
David: I remember all kinds of stuff.
Leila: Your pancreas My stomach hurts so bad. Oh no, I don't
know what it is. So
David: you ate? You ate Culvers twice today. That might be kind
of greasy. Do you need me to pause recording?
Leila: Okay, okay.
David: I lost the cluster. Oh, let's see oral traditions are
Nursery Rhymes and ancient but new verses have steadily entered
the stream of French poem numbering the days of the month,
similar to 30, half 30 days have September, was recorded in the
13th century. But such late comers is Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star. All right. You're ready for this? Yeah. You say
you're ready. I'm ready wasn't ready. Your mic just completely
came off. I'll mute it so you can put it back up there. And
I'll tell you about it. Alright, so we're having technical
difficulties tonight. Twinkle twinkle little star is the same
tune as the ABC song.
Leila: Yep, g h, i j, k LMNOP. QRS, t, u, v, w, x, y and z. All
right, so
David: that's too fast of a tempo. Let's go with a lighter
tempo and I'll sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Respectfully sorry, you. Okay, so I'll do Twinkle twinkle
little star you do ABC? Oh, my mics do. Okay. Just
Leila: I'm gonna hold my mic. It doesn't matter. Okay, all right.
We're going back into the olden times, holding
David: them like Alright, ready?
Leila: Hold the mic. A B, C, D.
David: Star. J K
Leila: my pancreas. Okay.
David: I don't know whether your stomach hurts. So I'm allergic
Leila: to some are some. But yeah, my mic is now on the
table.
David: We pause the recording. Yes, the live you gotta hear all
kinds of fun noises. Sorry about the risk screw
Leila: in the struggling noises that he made.
David: Okay, so some of the oldest Nursery Rhymes were like
babies games, and like it was teaching words that rhyme or
whatnot like this. This is tough to say. Handy dandy. Handy dandy
prickly Pandy which hand will you Adler's? It's like any
meenie miney moe sort of thing. Handy dandy prickly Pandy. Which
hand will you have? You know, it's like back and forth with
the pointing at somebody. And then we'll waddle and we'll
Chelm handle open wound.
Leila: Sounds like saying this the
David: German the German equivalent window waddle in
William channel over EU.
Leila: I was trying to learn German for a little while and I
just couldn't it is it is tough, man.
David: It's a it sounds so angry. Not
Leila: like Russian. Russian just sounds like annoyed.
David: Right? That Yeah, so there's all these old little
things that count as nursery rhymes. there yeah, here we go.
London Bridge is falling down. It's more of a singing thing.
And then there's Humpty Dumpty, which is considered a riddle
rhyme like you were talking about? Yeah. Loves the frog who
would go a wooing a wooing go? What?
Leila: That's one of the original nursery rhymes that
were originally made for adult entertainment instead of kids.
Oh, yeah. Oh my gosh, I'm trying to kind of zoom out because I
accidentally zoomed in and it's not going to zoom out. Oh, no.
It's gonna deal with it.
David: So the earliest known publisher of nursery rhymes was
Tommy thumbs pretty song book. Second volume. So I guess the
first volume had other songs in it. Include included little Tom
Tucker sing a song and sixpence. Who say most influential Yeah.
So mother goose's melody, or sonnets for the cradle was
published by firm John Newbery and 1781 almost said 1981 1781
Among its 51 Rhymes where Jack and Jill ding dong bell, hush a
bye bye baby a top on the tree top. Hush a bye, baby, baby.
That was horrible. Not your rendition of it. Thanks a song
itself. There's a bye baby threw me off because was Rockabye
baby?
Leila: Yeah rock baby.
David: Yeah, it sounded weird. I was like I should buy. That's
not right. That's puppies. Yummy. The the addition was
reprinted in 1785 and America Isaiah Thomas. Its popularity is
attested by the fact that the verses still commonly called
Mother goose's rhymes. And the United States
Leila: Nursery Rhymes are educational. Sorry, you haven't
said a fact in a little while my fact site was terrible.
David: And her laptop is, it's dying both of our laptops very
Leila: best buy today just to browse?
David: Yeah, and let me tell you, let me tell you, some
laptops, they have, either. And this is the sound goes, they
have either complete garbage laptops that are like a good
price, a decent price $150 $200. And then it jumps all the way up
to
Leila: a decent laptop with good to use.
David: Well, on the high end of decent towards actually a really
good laptop. But it jumps like there's like a $500 jump in
between one tear in the next year at our local Best Buy. So
we're gonna do that. We're gonna look online to find some laptops
don't
Leila: use my laptop for many things. And you do. Low quality
one.
David: Yeah, get you? Like, a new, low quality won't be fine
for you. Yeah, it doesn't have to have any, like, video editing
capabilities or anything.
Leila: Yeah, cuz I don't use it for that. I mean, occasionally,
I'll like,
David: Yeah, but you've got a computer for that stuff. Yeah,
you gotta use what you're gonna be mainly using it for is out
here because you've left that laptop out here in the studio
for Yeah,
Leila: I don't know, laptop. I use my computer. Yeah, so.
David: But I want to have a good, a good workstation style
laptop out here. And I'm looking around, you know, so if you have
any suggestions, let me know we're looking for bang for the
buck. Because you know, you want to, that's what you always want
to look for. I don't I don't want to go all out and spend
five grand on a laptop, but I want something that I can
actually do a little work on.
Leila: So when we looked at nursery rhymes improve
children's speech. Oh, yeah. And I honestly can vouch for this
too, because I'm, I know a whole bunch of nursery rhymes by
heart, and haven't heard them in like eight years. And somehow I
know them.
David: That's how they do. And it's like songs or songs are the
same way I can their songs. Well, you've seen it. I'm like,
Oh, I haven't heard the song in 15 years. And I know every word
of it exactly. And how it goes and everything in that, oh, hey,
doors, radar, radars and chat. We're live right now. We do live
either Thursday or Friday nights. We're not sure. Normally
just you can keep up with us on Twitter. I'm gonna start posting
it to the website also, I think.
Leila: So basically, as I was saying, I'm sorry. Teachers in
elementary school used to teach us how to vocabulary eyes. And
they would teach us like little tricks. Like, a comes after II
but only on a full moon overfilled you know, and then I
makes the eye noise or the ear or the E. Or sometimes it's
silent. You know, English.
David: It's kind of funky.
Leila: The only letter that isn't silent is V.
David: So V is never silent.
Leila: Not in most, most. Ah, Trump made up a word one time.
And it was silent in that call. Yeah, I think that was actually
a Vsauce made a video a little short about it. It's about a
book called P is for pterodactyl. And we actually got
it for a friend's kid one time. Oh, yeah. Remember? It was a
it's a great book. But it's terrible for learning. Yeah,
cuz. Yeah. Every letter there's a word with a silent in it.
David: Yeah, that was fun. Yeah. It's really fun. It's fun, fun,
fun.
Leila: Bing.
David: I moved the mic a little too close to myself there. There
we go. It was too far away. But I overcompensated. We're still
we're still working on the studio getting it exactly how we
want it. And, you know, like I said, technical difficulties
tonight. Thanks for bearing with us.
Leila: Is what ABCDEFG be considered a nursery rhyme?
David: Um, I guess because it rhymes. Right? Well, I use that
every day mostly rhyme. Yeah, I can't remember I'm in my mid
30s. And I remember and I still have to do the LMNOP QRS. Okay.
Yeah. The bar that messes me up that I can never like visualise
without doing the rhyme is the very middle, right? No, no, it's
towards the end. Yeah, the middle in the end, I have to go
like to UV WX okay. Like, normally I have to start like,
sorry, I'm gonna weird, like pee at the start at p LMNOP. It's
all one letter. Why no LMNOP LRP. But I have to start PQ, QRS
T. XYZ. So and yeah, I've used it as a crutch my whole life
I've never taken the time to go off.
Leila: And our or my hardest ones. I can never figure out
where they are. Yeah, they're just in there somewhere.
David: Oh, no. Oh, no, I'm gonna most everything I run. I run
everything on a remote desktop here and I minimise to the
entire the entire thing. Whoopsie whoopsie.
Leila: So nursery rhymes, I think are like great for
everything. Apparently, according to this website, it
says let's see what the claim.
David: Oh, let's see what the claim was. It was the claim. All
right, let's
Leila: go to the very top. Numero one. Nursery Rhymes are
educational as proven by research on Nursery Rhymes
improve children's speech. nursery rhymes grow the number
of words kids know. That's a weird way of saying it. Nursery
Rhymes can be used to teach the alphabet. Nursery Rhyme can
develop reading and writing skills. Nursery Rhymes helped
develop communication skills. Nursery Rhymes to improve
children's listening skills which I kind of get that one.
They help get most of these Yeah, I am. Most of them help
develop kids thinking ability? Not really. But I guess so.
Nursery Rhymes enhance kids physical develop what? That's
crazy. Physical development. What exactly is promotes
coordination balance, physical strength and gross motor skills
such as sitting, standing, skipping, running, dancing,
jumping and hopping. Why is it gross motor?
David: Okay, so maybe they're talking about like, doing the
nursery rhymes like a patty cake. Ring around the rosie
Leila: usually accompanies two children copying each other's
hands. There's a rhyme gross motor skills involved in control
of muscles in the arms, legs and torso.
David: Okay, so they're talking about the things where you
actually have a action associated with the the rhyme.
Like, did you ever do Ring around the rosie?
Leila: I steal the Ring around the rosie my man.
David: Did you ever do Red Rover? No, you've never heard of
it. I've never played Red Rover. You've told me about it. Yeah.
So like, if you're not, if you're unfamiliar with it, you
have two lines of people. And they're holding hands. Nice and
tight, right. And they're like forming like a wall. And you'd
say and it's actually a really good way to learn your
classmates names and have a little physical activity at the
same time. So like, like, we're like a five, eight people long
wall and there's another five or eight people long wall across
the field. And you'd say Red Rover Red Rover, send Leila
right over. And then that that line would break their chain.
And then close up and Leila would run as fast as she could
and try and break through our wall by breaking. You know, like
we're holding hands. She tried to run between us and make us
lose our grip and get through the wall. If you get through the
wall. I can't remember the rules, but basically, whichever
line ends up with nobody in it, when like loses, so like they'd
send over Leila. If she breaks the wall. She gets to go back or
gets to join that wall or something. I don't remember. I
don't remember. We could look it up. But you know, I don't think
I'm ever gonna play it again. To be honest. I don't think Yeah,
yeah, I don't really have any contact sports or anything in PE
or anything. Do you? We actually come in contact with the other
kids
Leila: gymnastics with despite each other. Oh, yeah, I guess
that's also we do kickball we kind of tackled each other in
kickball. Yeah, we aggressive man. We did. We don't want to do
full field suicides. So like tackle each other to get the
ball on each other. Competitive
David: running back and forth. field with a certain motions.
Yeah, it's terrible. So but yeah, there's that and then the
Ring around the rosie is you know going around the pole
holding hands kind of like skipping sideways. Oh my gosh.
Did you see the video of the adults trying to remember how to
skip? Yes. Y'all go out and looked at. It was pretty funny.
People were doing the adult skipping challenge.
Leila: I still skip.
David: I don't get my body doesn't like making that motion
anymore. It's a way like I said I'm in my I'm in my mid 30s I
can tell go older. Because I keep I keep losing the chat room
because I've got only got the one screen right now.
Leila: gross motor skills,
David: gross motor skills like picking your nose skills,
picking your nose stuff like that dig in your ear. You
Leila: called
David: Are you Google it? Yeah. Sorry moto. Brave searching it.
Leila: This is Firefox. Oh, I don't have brave and brave on
here. Gross. I wonder why it's called I wonder the etymology.
David: I don't know. Let's do some investigative journalism
because it's not really journalism. It's just looking
stuff up.
Leila: It can be journalism, or documenting it define
David: gross motor
Leila: skills, large muscle movements, which are not precise
and includes many fundamental movement patterns.
David: The child development.com.com.au So this
is from Australia. So take it, take it for, you know, that's,
you know, gross motor skills are those which require whole body
movement and which involve large core stabilising muscles of the
body to perform everyday tasks.
Leila: I think they're mainly gross motor skills are just
things that babies have to learn how to do. Yeah, like standing
up walking. Discovering they have feet Rubik's Cube. doing
push ups. Gotta get them sigma grind sets. Gotta your burpees
You gotta do your burpees when you're three months old.
David: Don't forget leg day,
Leila: over good leg day. My eight year old child
David: like it was when I was doing weightlifting in high
school, there was no such thing as forgetting any given day.
Like we had to do the whole the whole nine
Leila: yards and then the whole gym. We have a bench press thing
behind the stage who have seen it before. Oh, I don't know why
David: we also have one.
Leila: Oh, yeah, we do. But it's not like the bar for it. Yeah,
David: we don't we use it for but that wasn't drama
Leila: rehearsal. We were all buying the curtain. Now I guess.
Yes. And we were just like trying to lift the weight. It
was super just the bar for like two pounds.
David: Okay. Standard. Back when I was doing it in our high
school gym, which was a very old so I don't know if this is still
the standard, but the bar itself weighed 45 pounds. Geez. So
Well, I mean, it has to be really heavy metal to be able to
stay straight while holding them
Leila: rather than 45 pounds. It was pretty light. Like
comparatively, but I was also laying down and doing it.
David: Yeah, it was 45 pounds for the bar so much. The plates
on we wiped it down after every use. Antibacterial little
crusties hanging off. rusted up little metal spikes sticking
out. Like it was sweating. The old the old middle school
benchpress death trap behind the stage that we've never used.
Tetanus mana on a bench.
Leila: Real? I think that's all I have.
David: That's all you got for nursery rhymes. We just kind of
Yeah, it's kind of kind of we're spitting them out. Yeah, yeah,
grazing the surface there. Yeah, the Humpty Dumpty thing has
always bothered me why it was converted to an egg and I guess
the put them back together again. You know, somebody was
just having fun with that idea and
Leila: published it, you know, or why don't you make it more
amortisable? Yeah, yeah. And make it you don't want to get
demonetised on YouTube?
David: I mean, did we look up? Why is Humpty Dumpty portrayed
as an egg?
Leila: Did you Yes, I looked that up. That's what I was
talking about.
David: What you Okay, so that's exactly what you looked up. Yes.
Leila: I didn't use big man words. I said, Why is Humpty
Dumpty always an egg?
David: Oh, it's from Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Leila: No, it's not. No it was came out in like 2019
David: Oh, no, sweetie, it came out in 1904. Okay, so Humpty
Dumpty. According to Wikipedia, Humpty Dumpty is a character and
an early in an English nursery rhyme. Probably originally a
riddle. And one of the best known English speaking in the
world, Humpty Dumpty. Okay, you're looking at Alice Through
the Looking Glass I was talking about through the looking glass.
Leila: So, okay, so this is you looking? Yeah, I
David: know. But that was part of just let me finish. Let me
finish. Okay, so you read the first part of the Wikipedia,
right? Yes, he didn't continue down.
Leila: Further I did I get the
David: score. You got the I did all the king's lyrics and melody
score. What I hate Okay, so this laptop when you want to scroll
down you have to push
Leila: up on the you know I can take the laptop for you.
David: Do you like this laptop? Yeah like okay so adaptations so
in Humpty Dumpty these are Louis the Carol's through the looking
glass, which was an Alice story. Humpty Dumpty also makes an
appearance. Alice remarks that Humpty is exactly like an egg,
which Humpty finds to be very provoking in the LookingGlass
world. Alice clarifies that she said he looks like an egg not
that he is one.
Leila: So it came out in 1871 1906
David: Just calm down,
Leila: calm, just making sure
David: we don't get factcheck fall through the looking glass
came out in night in 1871. That's what I said. dins Lowe's
Humpty Dumpty? adapted and illustrated by WW den Lo. Yep,
that came out in 1904. Nope, that's an illustration from
1904. It was published in 1797,
Leila: nicknamed the
David: nursery, but the illustration of him as an egg
came out in 1904. Probably after reading through the looking
glass where Alice said he looked like an egg.
Leila: 1704 1604 What are you going to do? In 1504 1104?
David: Okay, so AJ learner suggested the Carol's Humpty
Dumpty had ProShow prosopagnosia on the basic processing process
on the basis of his description of finding faces hard to
recognise. Yeah. Oh, I heard that. I did a whole thing on
that. Already. Dumpty said mine. My name means the shape I am.
Leila: Humpty Dumpty got Dumpty. Like a dumpling. Oh my gosh, the
yummy
David: the face is one that goes by generally Alice remark we're
gonna thoughtful tone. That's just what I complain of, said
Humpty Dumpty. Your face is the same as everyone has. It has two
are the two eyes, marking the places in the air with his
thumbs. The nose in the middle of the mouth under it's always
the same. Now, if you had two eyes, on the same side of the
nose, for instance, or a mouth up at the top, that would be
some help. So Humpty Dumpty in through the looking glass had
ProShow prosopagnosia, prosopagnosia, prosopagnosia.
Careful. All right, so Mystery. More muddled, and confusing, not
solved.
Leila: So I could go on a whole rant about prosopagnosia. Okay,
I could, but I'm not.
David: Your mother send a text said stop fighting. But we're
fighting you to y'all.
Leila: Just know that. This dude has it. I don't know what his
name is. I forgot your name. Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt has
prosopagnosia? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Huh. And it basically it makes
it really hard to recognise people's faces. And it makes
them just look like a little blur. It can be different for
everyone.
David: We had a family member with it cool. I can't remember
it was some someone I never met you know, but said that he he
would know people you know a by how they talked. But how they
how they carried themselves and how they walked was a big
indicator of how he picked out people like in a crowd or, or
whatever.
Leila: You know, people with prosopagnosia can see faces but
have a hard time recognising their identities.
David: Right, right. There's just it's like me with names.
It's not the names get completely jumbled up in my
head. I forget them. I get a mixed up. I'm terrible with it.
And it's very bad when you work with like a lot of people. It's
kind of bad when you're like, hey, you how you doing? It's
like I've worked with you for a year. You just don't know my
name. I was like, I've known it before you because you've told
it to me a bunch and it's Sally right there on your desk. Hey,
Sally. And I remember everything about this person. I know
everything about this person. I can't remember their name.
Leila: It's like an episode of Gumball. Where Gumball Gumball,
trying to find their neighbor's name. And they tried so hard.
And then no neighbor's name. It wasn't Mr. Robinson, but it was
the other one. Oh, no. I forgot
David: to start the story that you can't remember the letter.
All right. Well, I think we've I think we've kind of exhausted
this topic for tonight.
