Leila: Hello hello. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back
if you're recovering
David: Welcome to Fun Fact Friday. Yeah, normally wear
weekly. But last week we took off and we'll tell you why. If
you stay tuned
Leila: for another episode of never done
David: oh do you hear the seagulls? I hear the seagulls.
The hair the waves? Yeah. What's going on? What's going on? Is
this the cruise edition?
Leila: This is a special cruise edition of Fun Fact Friday.
David: theater of the mind. So we took last week off and turn
that down a little bit. We took last week off. And we went on a
little a little trip.
Leila: Adventure. Yeah, a little adventure on a magic carpet
ride.
David: So this week's episode is actually we're recording on
Tuesday the 27th I say
Leila: we're gonna say we're recording on the boat. And I'm
like, No, we're
David: not. No, we're not. Alright, I'm gonna turn the
waves down that gags that gag sold. It's got whiskers on it.
So yeah, we took last week off to go on a cruise. And we had a
great time. And we're going to be talking about that this
episode. But first, we have a little little stuff to take care
of here at the beginning. As we normally do. We received a
monthly sustaining donation from kurta thank you so much Curtis
that helps us out a lot helps us pay for costs associated with
the show. And you know the occasional ice cream. Oh, we
haven't been for ice cream since we got back. We have ice cream.
Yeah, we do. You're gonna be nice cream. We'll talk about
that in a minute too. We got some donations via the value for
value system and podcasting 2.0 Arena. From the fountain app we
received 3333 sets from Mooli steed, Florida State boost says
I didn't hear you mention Rockford Penicillium mold the
naturally occurring antibiotic. You should look into that. It's
pretty cool. We can we can look into that. Yeah, looking like
antibiotics and whatnot. and whatnot. Oh, we should do an
episode about medicine. Medicine now. Strict opinions too strong
about that one. So then next next one that was also from
Dooley
Leila: the least at least for 9999 It's on the cheese episode.
It says dy i i think maybe Thank you met DIY. Yes, off cheese
cut. Oh, yeah. Dry. Soft cheese cutter. Dental Floss are harder.
For harder cheese. Steel Guitar wire. Yep. So soft cheeses.
Dental floss,
David: I get that. You don't want to get a mint one though.
You want to get the unflavored good old mint cheddar. Oh, I
just started thinking about it. I'm glad
Leila: you're back. Y'all. You all Yep. Are ready for your
podcast index. 2.0 debut.
David: Yeah, we've been we've been podcast, podcasting. 2.0
compliant since the get go. We haven't put a few of the new
tags in yet. We're working on backend stuff right now. So I
got a whole I got a whole I got a plan. I even have a little
notebook that says the plan on it. Yeah. Like the
Leila: bubble letters. Yep.
David: I was. I got bored and made it pretty. And then the
last boost was from just listening on fountain for 555
cents. Thank you very much. Mac and cheese are the hot dogs and
peas. Are you think about hot dogs in your mac and cheese?
Leila: I mean, it just depends on how well diced they are.
David: I like them to be everyone. I like going to be
like maybe half an inch long. So like sliced a little half an
inch pieces.
Leila: Yeah, I like mine to be cut into little slices. And then
probably fourth fourth. Oh so you like I like I'm really diced
up so I can get like a nice scoop. Alright,
David: well continuing the boost. Sounds delicious with a
Gouda cream cheese can also make it extra creamy. I don't like
cream cheese. Thank you the culture, bacteria and mold is in
milk is unique and different in different areas of the world.
And this plays a large role in the diversity of cheeses
throughout the world. Neat. So we had a couple other little
facts come in that I wanted to talk about. Oh that's it for our
donations. We definitely appreciate that everybody. I
also want to give a shout out to the person we're always shouting
out to because he's Vanda has Dred Scott. Yeah, we had
intended on doing chapters for that episode before we went on
the cruise, but I got stressed out. Yes, we were doing the
chapters and we got stressed out. So and we had a bunch of
stuff we had to get taken care of before we could leave town
and it just it fell through. But he came through and got the
chapters done for us. And it was amazing. And we thank you very
much.
Leila: So apparently, we listen on podcast addict. Yeah, you
when you speed it up, it goes by the number of what you're
speeding it up. So if you were speeding up to like to
experience a 30 minute long episode, it only show up it's 15
minutes long. And I was doing it at 2x speed to hurt myself.
Yeah, you're putting the timestamps in. So I was really
at like the 30 The 30 minute mark, but I was only at like 17
on my list. And I'm like what's happening and I figured it out
and I but it was like started crying
David: really late and we we had to get like we had to get up
early to get on the road. Yeah. But yes, anyway, I gave up so
yeah, and we had we had so much to do we forgot about like five
things that we had to do before we left so but on the on our on
our Mastodon instance, social dot means media.com We are at
Fun Fact Friday, and we got a comment. And it's a jiffy is a
real unit of time. Oh, this is dark radar. A Jiffy is a real
unit of time. The definition varies on the field. Depending
on the field of study and astrophysics and quantum
physics. A Jiffy is an amount of time it takes for light to
travel the distance the size of a nucleus. So that's pretty
cool. Pretty fast. Get it done in a jiffy.
Leila: That's pretty fast.
David: You can't even say jiffy. In a jiffy, Jiffy, just can't
say anything in a jiffy. That's like that's like a real short.
That's that's really a short period of time. Where you're
Leila: like, yeah, it is.
David: And then we add another comment under that. I know an
old school retro computing console programming a jiffy was
the measurement measurement of time between screen redrawing
1/60 of a second and NTSC and 1/50 of a second and Powell.
Which of the two different formats for making a TV work,
essentially, a color clock was the time it took for took to
draw the three pixels that it takes to show RGB, ie one pixel.
So the way that TVs used to work is a little different now. is
really interesting. The way it would shoot the rays out of the
cathode ray tube at the screen, and what have you, you've
noticed what what was up? Nothing. Don't put your Don't
point your phone camera at me when I'm doing funny stuff.
We'll talk about that later. So, so yeah, and then we had some
more facts come in from Team Omaha. Oh, yes.
Leila: It's just so Lila, um, made a mistake. Lila said
David: something.
Leila: I did. I kind of I done my stuff.
David: She's the aura clarinet. But you know, clarinets are
lame. So, Team Omaha apparently plays the clarinet. Yeah. And
since some fun clarinet FX was really fun clarinet FX. While I
take a sip.
Leila: Franklin effects number one, Mozart loved the clarinet
so much that He gave it its place in the orchestra. Neat.
Oh, hold on my ticket. Okay, I'm back. The winner of the
saxophone designs a type of clarinet, the bass clarinet. The
biggest clarinet ever made was merely a few inches shorter than
history's tallest man. And that clarinet was called the octo
contra bass. The smallest clarinet in the world is only
eight is always 14 inches smaller than that,
David: or a point three meters.
Leila: It's the only woodwind with 12 Note register, which I
thought was the most interesting. Out of all of
these, you can leave a large distance in the music with that
with not too much effort. No other instrument allows this
level of transposing versatility ever. Click clarinets have a
unique and beautiful sound and they are not lame. So they
remember the sixth one.
David: So yeah, thank you for that. We always appreciate
correspondence and mail at FunFactFriday.com. We love
emails, they're fun. And that I believe is all the stuff that we
had written down to talk about and the rest of the show. We're
gonna go over going on a rant. Yeah, we're just gonna talk
about our cruise and talk about some stuff we we went through
and or learned along
Leila: the way. Yeah, it was a definitely it was definitely a
time and it was a learning
David: experience. So we we, oh, real quick, this episode,
depending on Lila has a minor surgery on my mouth on our
mouth.
Leila: surgeries on my mouth.
David: So podcasting, we're not sure for how how quickly it'll
heal podcast we're hoping it'll be a couple of days and she'll
be fine.
Leila: Hopefully, if I'm talking a little funny next episode.
That's what's going on. You're free to make fun of me. Because
I won't care. Because it's not my fault.
David: Yeah, so. So there's that. So there's that. So
Leila: Oh, geez. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. He
just bumped the table. I
David: did the entirety entire table. Okay, so here's our
ocean. We got up we got in the car. We started driving. We
started buches which is we did antastic gas station, please
stop there. In South Carolina in Florence. It's fairly new one.
They've just opened it recently. And oh my goodness, it was busy.
It was insane in there. It felt like a concert. There were so
many people. And there was um, who kind of catch my breath
there. They had a Bucky, which is a beaver. And he was like,
what eight foot tall you know, would like mascot outfits, you
know? And we got a we got a cool like, we're about to drop a rap
album. Picture. You know, like low angle crossing our arms.
That should be up on your screen if you're using a podcasting 2.0
app right now. But I bet we made that dude's day. Yeah, cuz, you
know, it's constantly just like, Hi. Just a wave picture. Yeah.
Leila: Or like a peace sign. Yeah, not, but I feel like it'd
be fun. Yeah, just some fun pose. Right? If I was a mascot,
I would love that. Yeah. So
David: it's not something different, you know, break up
the monotony while we moved on from bikinis. And then we went
down to this little town. We were I guys lunchtime. So we got
and we saw a sign for the Cracker Barrel. That's just
always a solid bet. Right? So we're like, let's go to Cracker
Barrel hour and 10 minute wait, something like that. And we're
like, Nah, let's just get some fast food. Let's get on the
road.
Leila: You didn't even talk about the adventure to Cracker
Barrel. It said that the Cracker Barrel was just a little bit
outside of the interstate. Oh, yes. It was and it was hidden.
Yeah, it was look it up on Google Maps.
David: Yeah, we look Phaedra looked it up on Google Maps. And
it didn't make any sense. So Lila is down back there like
doing detective work to find out how to get to this Cracker
Barrel with my first like, you had to like drive behind like
three hotels, you had to like ramp off of this thing that
didn't look like there was any road but there was like an
invisible road and you went through a waterfall. And then
like, there's like fake falling rocks that were hologram. So
like to deter other people anyway, we get there. And
totally, it's an hour and 10 minute wait, we're like now
let's go to let's go to a fast food place. So we pull up to a
certain fast food place that has two golden arches as its logo.
Yeah. And we're sitting there. And we're sitting there. And
it's, we haven't moved yet. We're in the drive thru and we
have not moved and it's been a good 10 minutes. And I'm like,
You know what, let's, let's go to Wendy's. So we circle around,
almost get lost again. Get to Wendy's. Same thing. We pull
into exactly all into the drive thru. We move one car length
because the person in front of us leaves. But the car in front
of them had not moved in 10 minutes. 10 minutes. So we're
sitting here. And we're like, you know what, let's go to the
next exit.
Leila: Yeah. Because what happened is you got really
hungry.
David: Yes, I was hungry. I was hungry.
Leila: Yeah. And we were like, let's just get off to the next
episode. We'll find something surely. And we got off. And this
all happened. So we were like, nevermind. So we
David: went to the next exit. We got some food. We pressed on to
Brunswick, Georgia. Hey, yeah, and we had booked a hotel for
the night looked like a nice hotel. It was a nice hotel, but
oh my gosh, there was a whole lot of US government vehicles
Leila: out in the park. We went to Walmart to buy me some shoes.
Yeah. And there was a there was some some toilet paper and like,
like food,
David: a lot, a lot of toilet paper and a lot of bottled
water. And we're like, because we haven't seen the news all
day. So we're like what's going on and nothing. That's just
they're just buying it. in Brunswick, Georgia, we started
to get a little weirded out. So anyway, nothing. Nothing came
Have anything we get to the boat? Thankfully, we go through.
We also have the lines we get on the boat and Lila, why don't you
take it from there? And we'll talk about our quick adventures
on the boat. So what tell them about getting on the boat? What
was the first thing that amazed you?
Leila: We get on the boat. That's a big, huge, it's a
really big I think that's it.
David: We just got on the boat. And then five days, I
Leila: know what amazed me. You're just
David: you're just like, first of all, there's there's
seemingly a million people. Yes, because everybody doesn't know
where they're go and they don't get to lay out. So you're kind
of trying to get your way and try and find your way to your
room. And we checked our bags, because we didn't want to carry
them. So we had them take them up to the room. But it's you
know, it takes time. So we had to go wander around and about
nothing's really open yet because we're still in port. And
anyway, we get to our room. It's nice. It's got a little private
balcony. And we we just kind of waited to waited to get out onto
the water. Yeah, and then that's when the rocking started.
Leila: That's pretty cool. The rocking was fine. It was kind of
scary because I got motion sickness a lot. But we had those
little patches they put on the back here.
David: Your Yes, yes, a motion sickness because I don't really
get motion sickness.
Leila: Surprisingly on boat, right in the car, I
David: get it in the car. If I'm not. If I'm not driving, I have
to be looking straight forward in a car or I get motion
sickness but on a boat. I'm perfectly fine. For motion
sickness. Keep that in mind for later
Leila: foreshadowing.
David: So first day, we're kind of just kind of getting our
bearings, getting our sea legs, as it were. We went up, went up
to the food and got some free food. So good. The food was
good. The entire trip. Pretty Yeah. We went to the first day
was just at sea like we we left on Monday. Monday was just the
leaving day. The second day, we were just out in the ocean just
cruise arrows, right? You know, haven't haven't fun on the boat.
We're still just kind of checking out the whole boat.
Phaedra went to the jewelry store and got a raffle ticket.
She didn't win the first raffle. She didn't win the first raffle.
But she did win the second raffle. It was awesome. And she
got some jewelry for free. Some really cool jewelry. And but she
did get to talk into the sales people.
And then, and then introduced me while reminding me that it was
her birthday trip to Carlos introduced me to Carlos. Carlos
was a sales guy. She said Hey, David, you know, we're on my
nice birthday trip here. And this is Carlos, the jewelry guy
and I'm like, and then she walked away. So favorite house
is like, hey, so Phaedra got some jewelry for her birthday.
She also got a bunch of free free birthday stuff like meals
and small gift certificates on a cruise. Go on your birthday,
man. Yeah, you get lots of freebies, lots of freebies, lots
of freebies. So we had a really good time on the cruise. What
else happened? That was eventful that we last year, but oh my
gosh, something was going on. This
Leila: is going on. Okay, if y'all have news about share this
week, please share. I looked everywhere. For share. Please
share, please share the news. We don't know what was there last
night. Yeah. There was two people dressed up as I think oh
no, there was one person dressed up a share and one sunny. And
then there was the second night. The whole cruise there was share
playing at least one place even
David: before the cruise when we were driving up there. There was
like two references to share. And it wasn't just like, we were
listening to music and share popped up. It was like, I can't
remember all of the references. If we written them down there
are at least 2015 Random unrelated references to share.
So we're like, genuinely concerned. Yeah, we're like
something's happened to shame. versus trying to tell us I know
I looked
Leila: up share desk, because I genuinely thought that something
happened to share while you're gone. But nothing happened. I
don't think that we know of but please tell us if it did. If
she's okay. Please tell us
David: if you share let us know we know you listen. Do you
believe I do. Well, yeah, well.
Needs more autotune Yeah. So yeah, and then the Um dinners we
went to they performed for us. Yeah. Tina Turner night there
was a Tina Turner impersonator? Yeah. Really bad. Like it was.
It was just a sloppy wig. It's the entire person. He
Leila: was one of our servers to one of our
David: servers dancing around like Tina Turner singing. Proud,
Mary. Yeah. Rolling on a river. You got to sing I want to sing.
So, yeah, wow, what else? What else? What else? Logical.
Chronological. Yeah, so dinners. We met some nice folks talk to a
whole lot of people. They had movies. So like, but the movies
were on the top deck. So you could like hang out in the
swimming pool.
Leila: The top deck is called the Lido Deck. As the ninth
floor. You just sit in the pool and the like play a Marvel
movie. There weren't they were all my movies. But the one that
I was up there with it was Ant Man The Wasp. So I really didn't
watch it that much. Yeah, we didn't watch much is on. It was
David: on it was like when you're hanging out and the TV's
on the on Faders actual birthday. We went to the steak
house. Which is the like the upper class, the upper class
part of the you know, we actually had to pay for the food
the rest of the foods free. Right. So we prepaid got a
reservation. Lila, I want you to tell our listeners about the
dinner. And your your impression of going to an actual fancy
restaurant.
Leila: Oh my gosh, you guys. This was one of the best
experiences I've ever had with food service, though, okay, you
walk in, they sit you down. And you're immediately greeted with
a girl with bread. And I think of bread. She has three
different types of bread. And she's like, do you want this
bread or this bread or this bread? And you're like and she's
like, okay, all three. And she gives you all three types of
bread. And she gives all of us all three types of bread. And
and then the dude comes up or Dude, wait, waiter, and he is
like, Would you like ice water? Water or sparkling water? They
had three different types of water. Two of them were the
same. But oh my gosh, I'm so happy because they had sparkling
water. And I got to drink sparkling water out of a thin
rim glass man, which makes water tastes better. Yes. The
sparkling water was amazing. I drink more of that than I drink
my soda. And you eat the bread. And they have this fancy butter.
They had fancy butter with truffles and spinach on the
outside. And beets.
David: It was go Yeah, sorry.
Leila: And then they give you the money. Like would you like
online or paper menu. This is the only place on the hobo with
a paper menu that we went to. Oh my gosh, it was amazing. We got
the paper menu. I ordered the fish. I forgot what's called.
And then for the appetizer, I got some crab thing. I forgot
what it was risotto, Raisa crab risotto. And for dessert, I got
cheesecake, but the cheesecake was like the worst part of the
meal. Honestly, it was just an experience, man. So we get the
risotto out. And mom used her entree fork for the appetizer.
David: Oh my gosh.
Leila: I love you mom.
David: Oh man who was so funny. What's going on? Are you hearing
something?
Leila: The guy next was his truck. It's too loud.
David: They can't hear it on the on the bog guy.
Leila: I know. But it's like shook the shed. Right. Shed
shaker. Bucha put a sticker on the back of his truck. Shaker.
David: Yeah, the appetizers came out.
Leila: I had my meal.
David: I had French onion soup.
Leila: He had French onion soup and he almost cried. It was so
good. He almost cried.
David: I got emotional.
Leila: He told us like this is French.
David: It put this you know it's like an A like a cauldron like
it like a witch's brew. Right? It's got cheese pouring over the
sides of it. It's got the croutons inside soaking up the
French onion soup. And I put my spoon in like like you do. And I
took a sip of the soup. And there's never been a more
perfect concoction of salt, broth, seasonings. There's it's
it's perfect. It was a perfect soup. Have you seen ratatouille
reached out to ratatouille? Rat ratatouille? Yeah. I know. Rata
to Rhett. So, you know, you know when the critic of the end
sitting there and he eats the ratatouille and it like, takes
him back. Yeah, he has like, he has like, oh my gosh, it was so
good. It was so so I got the surf and turf. It was cooked
perfectly. Everything was great. Leila had told me a couple of
weeks ago, I was gonna make steaks and she's like, oh, like
steak. But then I gave her a bite of my fillet.
Leila: Oh my gosh, I almost cried.
David: It was a very emotionally
Leila: very emotional meal. It was the best piece of steak that
I've ever had.
David: So then the next night she or
Leila: next night at the free rest at the posh she had the
front at the free restaurant. We had gotten vouchers for a
steakhouse meal, which they had some of the steakhouse stuff on
the posh menu, which had to pay extra which I'd pay extra. So
they give us free vouchers for it because it was her birthday.
So I got the surf and turf, which was this unlike a smaller
filet mignon with a piece of lobster for lobster tail.
David: It was very good. Oh my gosh, we had you know, people
talk about cruises. They talk about you know how all the foods
so good the food so goodness, I agree. I gotta say I agree.
Leila: I agree to so my gosh, it was so emotional. We you did the
jogger
David: do some stuff besides the just just wandering around doing
stuff. Did y'all go to any? I can't remember if y'all went to
shows or because I kind of wandered around did my own
thing. We
Leila: didn't go to any of the Victoriana shows, which is the
main theater, right? We didn't go to any of the main theater
shows.
David: One of the things that we did enjoy all of us was they had
a Sudoku and crossword puzzle. Every day like a new one. You go
sit at the coffee bar and just do a little Sudoku
Leila: coffee every day. And we got a sudoku puzzle, right? And
then
David: so then we come to the last day. We're getting things
ready, were packing up, getting the room all cleared out,
getting everything all set up. And and so Lila's, like we gotta
go to karaoke, and we didn't make it the karaoke. anytime
during the entire cruise. It just never worked out. So she's
like, and I felt, well, yeah, but I felt terrible because you
wanted to do it. But then you were like, Let's go to the
silent disco. I'm like, that sounds stupid. That sounds so
stupid. silent disco. So we get there. She drags me out to it. I
did 1030 at night and the last night of the cruise. So we get
out there and there is a line. And the line moves pretty fast.
As they give you write down their numbers, yes set of
Bluetooth headphones. So you put on the Bluetooth headphones. And
there's a switch on the side. That changes between two
channels, where there's two DJs in the disco and this is a full
on disco like, like the floors, lighten up and do the disco
things and there's lights on the ceiling disco ball, the whole
deal, right? Like 1970s Disco. There's two DJs each one has a
different Bluetooth channel to your headset. So if you flip it
to one, the little lights on the side of your headset turn blue.
If you flip it to two, they turn green. And that's what song
you're listening to the red or the blue song or the green song.
So half the club is listening to Party in the USA Party in the
USA and half the club is listening to shots is listening
to shots, you know the LMFAO song. And, and it's funny
because people are singing along to two different songs at the
same time dancing to two different beats. And it's very
funny.
Leila: And the DJ comes on and our headphones and he's like,
Y'all look so dumb.
David: Y'all look so dumb. It was hilarious. Okay, so most
folks can sing. Kinda okay. Right? Kind of sing a song. But
here's the thing. You can sing when you can hear yourself.
Leila: No one can hear themselves because these are
cancelling
David: noise cancelling headphones. Sorry man. Yeah,
noise cancelling headphones so you can't hear yourself at all.
So everybody sounds terrible.
Leila: It's off tune it's It's quiet. It's loud. It's at the
same time. So if someone's walking past they just see a
whole bunch of like people fist pumping and saving attitude
singing out of tune
David: it's just hilarious so then we go we were in there and
we're listening we're having a good time we're having a good
time and then one one of the channels Sir Mix A Lot Baby Got
Back comes on the beat to it and I'm like, oh, it's Baby Got
Back. And and then he makes a lot doesn't start singing. The
song Barbie girl comes on But with baby. And then it turns
into Baby shark for some reason. It was a little confusing. Yeah,
but, but then Leila looks over to me and points at her
headphones. And they're blue, and I'm on green. So I flip over
to blue. And it's I don't know what it is. Right, but she's
super excited. But it's that one where it's like, turn to the
left. Turn to the right, the Cha Cha, cha cha Slavic. Yeah, and
I've heard it before I'm aware of it. You know, I've been at
weddings. But I don't I don't know what Charlie Brown means.
So I'm just kind of like watching everybody else trying
to adapt to what you're doing. And only half the club is doing
it at first. And then everyone kind of switched over to it. But
I'm trying to do this thing called the cha cha slide. And
it's pretty cool. Because the song itself tells you how to do
the dance is amazing. Except for the Charlie Brown.
Leila: I had to teach him. But then there's this part pretty
simple.
David: There's this part. Where, where they say, Oh, what is it?
Something was your knees?
Leila: I'm sorry. So hands and knees,
David: hands on your knees. So I go to do that thing that you
used to do where you put your hands and knees and then like
you move these back and forth and switch your hands means it's
how it's supposed to be doing. Yeah. Okay. I thought that was I
thought that was what he meant. Well, folks, I gotta I gotta
tell you
I I accidentally torqued folks.
Leila: Doing your Hank Hill boy.
David: I'm not. I'm not doing the Hank Hill.
Leila: Oh my gosh.
David: Oh. perky. I accidentally twerks. So I've been over to
touch my knees. And I accidentally stuck my butt out.
And like, felt Oh, no. wiggling my butt in public. Nobody cared.
Nobody was looking at me. I just had this like, this is not me. I
immediately thought I'm gonna I'm gonna disco. Everybody's
having fun. Who cares? So then I felt like Hank Hill. Where? You
know how he gets embarrassed? Over like things he feels like
he shouldn't be doing. Oh my gosh, it was. It was a really
good experience. Yeah, we had a really good time. I had a great
time. Phaedra said she walked past while we were in there and
trying to find ways but we're in the very back corner. Yeah, but
she said that it was just a bunch of people jumping around
chaotically singing badly.
Leila: Yeah, it's hilarious without the music. So we
David: get back. We're exhausted. She's like alright,
let's finish everything up we need to do to get get ready to
go. As we put our last thing in the bag, and get the last piece
of paperwork we need for customs to get back into America.
Phaedra says these words are you ready folks? This is what she
says. I'm so glad none of us got sick on this trip. She said this
eight hours before we had to get off the boat. Almost immediately
as if the universe was saying ah, I get very sick
Leila: violently violently the point where both me and mom wake
up. Yes to the sound.
David: I get violently ill and it lasted two days. I was very
sick. It was either something I ate or just a combination of not
sleeping and eating too much and dancing really hard for an hour
accidentally twerking maybe it's my punishment for accidentally
twerking.
Leila: God's punishing you for twerking?
David: Yeah no. So yeah, I I didn't I didn't enjoy the
experience of having to go through customs while very sick.
That was not a fun experience and then but yeah Phaedra
Phaedra picked up my slack she she went and took care of all
the custom stuff that had to be done but on the last day to get
us ready to go. She drove the entire way home but an eight
hour drive. We stopped at the same hotel
Leila: slightly worse this time.
David: Yeah, a little worse. This time. We had the the water
was cold in the shower. I didn't get in the shower. I got in the
shower, and I don't like hotel bathroom. It was very cold
water. And I waited five minutes for it to warm up. And it
didn't. So I was like up Guess I'm taking a cold shower because
I had to take shower And I slept for about nine hours, got up,
took a shower, and then went back to sleep for another seven
hours. You fell asleep at three and got up the next morning woke
up at like eight. Yeah, but in the middle of the night I got up
and I was like, still not feeling great. I was like, let
me take a shower. Maybe that'll help but not hear you. I was
passed out. Yeah, I went right back to bed. So it was a very,
very bad trip home. But we're home now.
Leila: We did it. We did it. Drove the whole way. Yeah,
David: we're back on amazing back on track. And I'm feeling a
lot better. I'm feeling a lot better. My brother Mike came to
visit with his daughter got to see my nice. Yeah. And then we
I've got my audition tomorrow, which is not great. Because as
you can hear my voice is not back to normal. And it's a voice
acting audition. So I'm going to take care of that tonight. I'm
going to drink some more hot tea voices
Leila: back to normal. It's a little it can feel. I hear you
every day. Right. So
David: so but yeah, I know this isn't like a fact episode. Oh,
we did learn a couple fun facts. Our ship. Oh, tell about our
show.
Leila: I learned this when we got back. I was on the car ride
home. And I was just like looking up stuff about the
cruise line. And our ship. We went on the freedom. And a thing
about carnival. I was gonna say it. Carnival we went on. They
have the whole thing about their ships is they have the steel.
The smokestacks are like tail shaped. Got things sticking up.
And then two things sticking out of that. Ours only had the
things sticking up. So I thought that was like, oh, maybe it's an
older ship. Or maybe it's a newer ship, you know, you never
know. So I looked it up when we got in the car looked up our
boat. And about a year ago on May I think 26 or 23rd of last
year. It burned down.
David: There's video of it. Well, are we I remember to put
it on the show notes.
Leila: I found it. Yeah, I'll
David: put a note. Okay.
Leila: I burned down and I looked up a video of it. So
that's not concerning at all. I thought we spent an entire week.
David: It was only version it was a year ago. And things do
happen. They have safety protocols for everything you saw
that you saw they have safety protocols for everything. Yeah.
So but that was interesting. What else did we learn? We
learned that there was once a lady on a carnival the same on a
Carnival cruise ship that was not allowed to be on a Carnival
cruise ship. And she really wanted to be on Carnival cruise
ship. So she got onto the ship, but they couldn't leave with her
on the ship for whatever reason. And she put so she put wigs on.
Leila: Our cruise director came on on our trip but on the trip
that she was on, and just set her name over and over and over
and she came out and she didn't. They had to leave with her on
the boat.
David: And they weren't sure if she was on the boat. Yes, they
nobody could find her because she was running around hide and,
and like getting from place to place with different wigs on she
used
Leila: various wigs makeup outfits. This was just
David: amazing. Fantastic. But yeah, we had a great time. I
know this isn't like a normal episode. But we we feel like a
lot of our listeners, you know, again, you might enjoy hearing
about it. For the Lincoln Jannat. Great. If you have any
ideas for episodes for us to do if you have we're thinking about
starting to do maybe guests. Yeah, yeah, I would love that. I
think Andy who was our cruise director, I think he would be a
really fun guest. He was very good at q&a type stuff. I think
he'd be a fun guest to have any could tell us all about
cruisers. And you know, being a cruiser, or whatever.
Leila: He also said that the boat is fine, even if it tips 90
degrees.
David: Yeah, the boats can write themselves. Yeah, the boats can
write themselves if they're up to 90 degrees so they can
completely fall sideways, like falling and they'll bounce back
up granite everything will fall over like everything. It'll be a
disaster, but
Leila: it's it's
David: which is the main thing you don't want to do as a boat.
Leila: Other than burn down, but
David: well that would also sink it that's not fun. So if you are
a person who knows a lot about a particular subject, or if you
think you're entertaining enough to hang out with us for 30
minutes to an hour, on an episode on we pick the topic.
Get in touch with us mail at FunFactFriday.com we start
taking guests I think that'll be fun. I think it'll spice things
up a little bit. And if you have a podcast in the podcasting tube
one oh sphere, you'll get a little cut of our stats for that
episode. Yeah. What'd you say? 20 20% 40% 30% 12% 9% 2% That's
gonna be more than 2% Do to Britain let's not get into the
milk.
Leila: So why is it water?
David: We're not we're not getting into that. And more
march on the way
Leila: may or may not be the by that. But
David: have a great weekend everybody.
Leila: Did we? Wait? Was there something else?
David: Was it something else me? We're gonna talk we talked about
your surgery. No, we didn't. Oh, let's go to surgery. Tomorrow.
Leila: Tomorrow, she gonna get a face all sliced up, face sliced
up. Mainly the mouth area, but
David: she's got got a minor surgery, orthodontic surgery.
And I think it'll be fine. He'll be fine. I think he's going to
talk funny for a few days how to wear a
Leila: retainer for a little while. Yeah, little retainer on
top of my mouth.
David: But the braces come in a few months. So you're gonna talk
real funny for a little while if you get those in. Those episodes
are going to be gold. What else? What else? My auditions

the night. And she's gonna be in surgery while I'm doing my
audition. Just pour some honey down your throat. Yeah, yeah,

I can't think of anything else. All right, everybody. Have a
great weekend. Hopefully we'll see you next week. Unless Leila
