David: Hello, welcome to Fun Fact Friday,
Leila: weekly podcast where we talk about stuff.
David: Different stuff. Maybe? Well, mostly, no, sometimes
we'll go back over another topic. Because it's fun, but
that's rare. But we have a very special guest tonight. And we'll
be talking about that as soon as the music is over.
Leila: Oh, well, well. Nice.
David: Tonight we are joined by light bright.
LiteBrite: Hello, hello. Hello.
David: Who are you in? What do you do besides make amazing lit
up art.
LiteBrite: make amazing lit up art. So by day, I guess or by
partial night. I am a theater technician specializing in
lighting I teach at a high school, very much the same thing
that blueberry does if SPOILER ALERT blueberry and I are
engaged in the domestic partnership. We have studios
right next to each other. So that's what I do by day and I
also grow a ton of plants. I have a lot of houseplants.
David: And that's what we're going to be talking about.
That's why we're here talking about plants.
Leila: Because I like plants and aroma him. Yes.
David: And Leila has all sorts of questions for you. Sure.
Before we get into that, what is your show's name?
LiteBrite: All right. So I just started a podcast about two,
three months ago, me and two of my friends. We started a podcast
called rough around the hedges.
David: rough around the hedges. So it's like it's like a pun. It
is totally, it's a plant pun. All right. Before we get going,
we're gonna do our value for value segment. But I am also
going to make some really squeaky noises with my chair
because I gotta get into a better position. Okay. All
right, here we go.
Leila: Now. What have y'all sent us?
David: Yes, this is a value for value podcast. We have received
some value this week. And we're gonna go over that value. And
thank you all for it. So with Satoshis sent through boosts
through a modern podcast app, you can get it podcast apps.com.
We have received quite a few boosts, and most of them are
from Dred Scott. So we're just gonna go through all of those
Dred Scott boosts real quick. And Dred Scott CNN 123456 sets
now that's not six sets. That's 123,005. No. One 101 123,000 No,
it's 120,460 and 56. Why is my brain not able to read that
number? It's 123456 12,456.
Leila: No,
David: look, where that six digits. Oh,
Leila: I didn't see the three. Oops, he's
David: not he said 12456. I
Leila: don't have my glasses on the house.
David: And it says, My six year old wants to know if you've ever
done an episode about streets, common street names, types of
streets, material streets are made of etc. We have not, but
hey, it's on the list. Yeah, we've got a lot of guests coming
up. And we got a few episodes in between guests. So we'll we'll
we'll we'll put that on the list. We're always looking for
show ideas. So thank you so much for that there's some funny
street names let me tell you I've seen some funny ones and I
got stories so we also got 10,000 SATs from Dred Scott says
is the rat that Leila was crocheting crocheting finished
yet, Pics or it didn't happen? Well, we have pics. And drab,
you will get to see them first with since you do our chapters,
they will be on the server. And there will be named rat and rat
two or something along those lines. And the problem was, is
that she gave away the rat gave away the
Leila: rats. I don't decent pictures of it. But they're like
in the car.
David: Yeah, it was like she finished it. And then we went
and she gave it away like, go faster. So we do have a couple
of pictures that will be on the server and I'm sure drug will be
putting them in the chapters.
Leila: That was a killer. I wish I would have made myself one. I
couldn't make myself when
David: you could. It only took you like an hour. We also
received 555 No 5555 cents from drums. God, how is Leila's
website coming along for the stuff she's gonna make? It is
up. It doesn't have a lot on it right now. Because we're we're
just getting rolling with it.
Leila: Oh, yeah. Sorry.
David: I just went out. Yeah, we're talking about the entire
circus. Don't say yeah, it's the end. Are circus.com I didn't
believe that that would be available. But there was
currently it's just right now it's a simple WordPress site you
can order she has one completed wig that's been styled. And then
she has a listing for her wig styling services. We are going
to be putting more things up there. We got some ideas for the
3d printer. We got some other ideas but mostly going to be
cosplay stuff. But then some other if if it gets rolling,
we'll start putting our merch on there and selling our merch from
there instead of Threadless. But that's down the road. And then
1000 from Kyle Nope. 1000 from drab saying, boost Kyle boost,
Kyle. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so here's what happened. We boosted
Kyle's volume. And one episode we did it correctly. And then I
wasn't really import export issue with the road caster, and
it was my fault. And I'm gonna have to go reboost the audio
again, and then put it back in so it'll get done tonight.
Tonight. Totally. So and then another 54,321 sets from Dred
Scott. Now this episode had a good level for Kyle. Yes, he
that was the good one. That was right when we got back from the
cruise. Yeah. He's talking about how it matches the intro better.
So. Oh, look at that. We just got a live boost. We'll have to
manually send light bright some of those sets and it's from a
one. It's from blueberry. The entire Circus is a great name
for a site. Well done. Thank you may perhaps a BTC pay server is
an order maybe? Maybe I haven't looked into that. But yeah,
we'll keep that in mind. Let folks pay with Bitcoin. Because
why not? It's money. Thank you for the live boosts blueberries
17,776. That's kind of his standard blueberry. Satoshi
boost. We appreciate that. And then we got 3333 sets from
Baroness love and light. Baroness, Love and Light says, I
sign up to be an F. F. F. F A Fun Fact Friday fan. And pledge
that thunder and lightning aren't the same
Leila: thing. Heck, yeah. Thank
David: you. And that's it for our boosts. We did get an email
from Team Omaha. And I'm trying to, I don't think I have no, I
don't have that email address on this computer. I will pull it up
on my phone.
Leila: So if you didn't hear last episode, I had a whole rant
about how lightning and thunder weren't the same thing. And said
that if you were going to be a Fun Fact, Friday fan, you have
to say that lightning and thunder are not the same thing.
That goes for everyone listening to the show. Thank you.
David: Okay, so yeah, we got an email was talking about that the
the the rant was correct. The thunder and lightning are not
the same thing. Sounds Yes. Thank you. Just I agree with
Leila email. So
Leila: email from every single one email. Yeah,
David: mail at FunFactFriday.com. All right. So
yeah, if you want to send us any value of you get anything out of
the show. You can send us art, music, tips, you can tell us
something's wrong with the show. Like I need to fix Kyle's audio.
Whatever you want to do, you know, just shoot over to us at
mail at FunFactFriday.com. Hit us up on X or Twitter. Whatever
is called Fun Fact Friday, one of our username over there. And
we've actually been getting lots of we got lots of guests lined
up. And I'll tell you about those at the end of the show.
But we're gonna get back to light bright because she's just
sitting there waiting on us to quit yapping. Yep.
LiteBrite: Patient patient just need to Oh, gosh.
David: Leila is very patient for a 13 year old. But Leila, What
questions did you have for light bright?
Leila: What would be a good, like plant to start off with
that so
LiteBrite: for us visit quickly. So I mean, we talked a little
bit before the show started that you'd seem to be an underwater
where you kind of forget about your plant. Right? Yeah. So
succulents are always a good plants to start with. They are
drought adaptive, as we say. So you know, your cactus is your
you know, stuff that's used to live in in dry, arid climates
that don't get a lot of water. The flip side to that though, is
that when you do water them, you want to make sure you're not
just like taking a little bit of like taking a tiny little sip of
water and like dunking it on there. You want to submerge them
in water, almost like they want a lot of water infrequently
versus lips, little bits of water, frequent Like other
plants, okay, so like was starting out and people are
saying, Yeah, I want something easy. That's always a good one
that you know, succulents, the, the hardest part about them is
probably making sure they are getting enough light. And I can
go on about like, you know, for an hour and a half, two hours,
but depending on you know, your window situation, if you have
something that's either facing west or south, then you're good
to go for succulents. But another fantastic starter plant
is called ZZ plant. And they're also they don't eat a whole lot
of water. They have what's called rhizomes which are like
little potato looking things inside the soil and that's where
they hold all their water so they're also used to not be
watered very often and they can also handle a little bit less
light as well. So if you have like an east window, those are
cool. That's great for them. They're really cool looking
plant and they come in different forms like I have what's called
a raven ZZ so it has all black leaves. So if you have like a
little golf cart like I do I lose anything that's black.
Yeah, they're cool plant.
Leila: I want one of those. Those are cool.
David: Yes, she's recurrently redoing her entire room. Yeah,
last few days. She has ripped everything off the walls.
Leila: It took me three days to finally rip everything off my
walls. I had a maximalist room and I'm still gonna go with that
I'm just going for different aesthetic of maximalist.
David: Oh, no. Oh, Zoom says our meeting will end in 10 minutes.
LiteBrite: What? Oh, no.
Leila: When did this happen?
David: All right. So those listening live our meeting will
end in 10 minutes. But those listening to the recorded we
will continue after we get a separate Zoom meeting up.
Leila: Yeah, apparently. This didn't win. Okay.
David: I don't know. We'll continue this never happened so
that you said this was
Leila: easy. Yeah, it's as easy plan
LiteBrite: as easy plan.
Leila: I looked it up. Interesting. So neat.
LiteBrite: Yeah, off the top my brain I can't remember where the
Latin it's very long. But we just called ZTE for short. Cool.
Yeah, those guys.
Leila: That name is very long.
LiteBrite: Like a month, a month and a half, two months even twin
watering like you can go on just forget about it. That's awesome.
David: We it sounds like our kind of plan.
Leila: Yeah, we have a plant in our kitchen. It I don't know
what its name is. But it has like reddish leaves with green
on the outside. And
LiteBrite: they're really pointy.
Leila: I you know,
David: not super pointy. They're kind of bold this with a little
bit of a point.
Leila: But we have one of those little like watering bulbs, I
guess. has water in it. And we water like a little bit over the
bulb in it. It works. Right? It's right by the window.
David: It seems to work. Okay, it seems it's alive. It's not
growing a lot, but it kind of stays about the same size. I
paid you to do it. And I don't know enough about plants to say
whether it's supposed to grow any bigger than it is. Right. So
yeah, I I'm not I think my my problem is is either a I don't
follow the instructions on how to get the plant started. So I
bought some some vegetable plants I bought some tomato and
some red bell pepper and some cayenne pepper plants this year,
and I decided to just go ahead and get like one of the ones
it's already growing. You know, it's already right.
LiteBrite: It's already started for you
David: right it's already gotten gotten gotten rolling. I was
like I can't screw this up right so we're gonna water it give it
a little bit of plant food. And apparently I screwed it up like
I paid attention to the bat I don't know about and I don't
know if it's neglect like I just forget about it. But I tried
really hard this time
Leila: I'm good at mushrooms, which those will grow and pretty
much anything
David: Yeah, we get those right with the yard but um
LiteBrite: yeah, we have kind of a bit of a saying that you know,
if you bring in a plan and it doesn't do well, like it dies on
you, it just means it wasn't able to handle your conditions
and that's fine. I mean, I can't even imagine like I've
completely lost count how many plants I've killed in the four
years that I've been doing this so it's take some time to get
used to it
David: my like my mom has a green thumb she anything oh my
gosh, nothing dies
Leila: she buys dead plants and revives yeah
David: she'll find like a leaf and then I'll go over a couple
weeks later and she's got like a full Bush full Bush made out of
that little one leaf she's just one of those people
Leila: and she's like I just stuck in some dirt and put some
water on it and I'm like how would you do that?
David: And I do no I do all the all the stuff that she says and
down I was still like she's like okay, and I'll put this plant is
only supposed to get this many hours of sun a day and I'm
supposed to face this way you're supposed to come like seven
butterflies and put it on the third leaf. And so I'm doing all
this stuff and then like still, you know, like the bell pepper
plant I have it. It has like four bell peppers on it right
now. But they're not getting any bigger than like a golf ball.
And
LiteBrite: did you trim your bell pepper? Is those growing?
David: No,
LiteBrite: I've, so I'm not that much of an outdoor, like garden
person. But that is something I've heard if for larger crop,
especially with peppers and cucumbers, I believe cucumbers
you want to as it's growing, you got to cut them back a little
bit so that they branch out more. And then that encourages
more fruit production and then they think larger fruit as well.
David: Okay, so I'll trim off like baby, maybe trim off some
of the branches that aren't producing producing anything.
Yeah, I guess that might
LiteBrite: also help. Okay, that transfers the energy to the
other parts of the plant when they take that part of the plant
away. Yeah, that
David: makes sense. Because it's like it's pulling stuff out of
the dirt. And then it you know, it's gonna go somewhere. I'd
rather send it to the food than those boring old leaves that are
just using collected sunlight. Okay, so what is the chemical
inside of a rock chemical? But what are the cells caught?
What's that stuff called it? That turns the sunlight into
food?
LiteBrite: Or a plus?
David: I was gonna say I was gonna try to get you to say
chlorophyll. So I could be like,
Leila: more Phil is the Borovo.
LiteBrite: Chlorophyll is the specific chemical but us what
are the cells those are the chloroplasts, which is a
powerful, which then gets pigment to the or to the plant.
Leila: Gotcha. Yeah, you
should have sent it more specifically. Yes.
David: It's been over 20 years since I was in high school.
Leila: Yeah, it's it's been at least three years,
David: at least three years since I was in high school.
Totally. You know, it is after three years you forget stuff.
And that's that's just how it goes.
Leila: kind of find a name to this plant. Mimosa pudica. I
have some seeds for those are those are good. They're called
the zombie plant.
David: Are those goods or have you heard the zombie playing or
that?
LiteBrite: I have not? There's one for me.
Leila: You touch it? And it like closes Oh, yeah.
LiteBrite: Yep. also call them sensitive plants. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
David: You can also use those for tracking people. Totally so
right when, when you're, you know, a Texas Ranger. And as you
are out and about searching for the fugitives, you can look for
those kinds of plants and if they're closed up, that means
something touched it. So you got an idea of which direction to
go. Okay
LiteBrite: are you gonna be following a rabbit?
Leila: Right? Yeah, real.
David: Rabbits are good eaten.
Leila: But they're not the bandit.
David: Yeah, they're not the bandit. What was that gonna? I
was gonna ask, I was gonna ask you something. Okay. So like,
out of out of all the plants that you have. Which ones like
your baby, do you have one? That's like, just like, oh,
that's, that's my favorite. I really like that one.
LiteBrite: Yes. If you listen to our show, I talked about it a
lot. My it's called a Hoya High School, Jana variegata.
David: Okay, I was gonna Google it. early on.
Leila: I looked at it. Oh my gosh, they're so pretty. Yeah.
David: How did you Oh, okay. Okay, I got I got Vermont,
Vermont boys is where I found it.
LiteBrite: Oh, that is a fantastic resource for
David: the leaves look like slices of cucumber. Yeah. What?
Oh, and this picture?
LiteBrite: Are you looking at the green one or the varigated?
It just says
David: Vermont Jolla is the site about the northern United States
and it says Hoya his shit. Nish? lejana. However you say that
that's all it says it doesn't have.
LiteBrite: Okay, so then you are looking at just the regular
green one. There gotta is you know, barricaded media. It's
gonna have white on it. So yeah, mine, you know, you're looking
at those little green cucumber slices and then mine's got white
in the center of it.
David: Okay, I found it. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, it's neat
because the leaves like they're darker on the outside, like the
skin color and then the insides lighter. And then he got like,
even lighter. So, that's he has an all Oh,
Leila: yeah. Betsy
David: So how big is how big is your Hoya? You surely Akia
Leanna very year gotta
LiteBrite: um well I guess for reference in my picture that I
sent you that is my husky liana.
David: Oh okay, so that's not just like some clever photo
editing.
LiteBrite: No. All right, that is me. Like I just stuck my face
inside of the trails. I was trying to get a picture of the,
like a reference of size. Because I always had pictures
with my friends of it. I'm like, this never looks like the actual
size it is. So it is in a six inch pot on a 12 inch hoop
trellis. Become a beast within itself.
David: All right. And yeah, that's, you can check that out
on on Twitter. I believe it's on our Fun Fact Friday Twitter. You
can see when we did a promo for the episode. That's what we're
talking about there. And yeah, that's that's really cool
picture of like that.
LiteBrite: Yeah. And then it if you look at the blooms of
flowers, they're just these tiny, tiny little pink flowers.
Yeah, they're so I love it. And it's been flowering for me for
about four months now nonstop. And they smell like
butterscotch.
Leila: Oh, yeah. Gosh.
LiteBrite: So as is the genus and I'm like, super into right
now. And a lot of their flowers smell like different things.
Some smell like
David: Oh, no. Oh, no.
Leila: Our meeting ended.
David: Okay, hold on. Let's see. We'll never know. All right.
Give me a second. Oh, no. Zoom meeting. Pie. Oh, boy. Oh, no.
It's an invalid meeting.
Leila: Oh my gosh. Texture real quick. I don't know how to do
this.
David: Okay, hold on host with failure off. Do you want to make
a new open zoom meetings?
Leila: We'll never know what it smells like.
David: Oh, no. What does it smell like? Join it for pure
audio. And then participants invite link and paste. Alright,
Leila: this disaster. Disaster. What do we do?
David: Oh, no, no. You know what? I think that this is a
short enough. They were leaving it in. So everybody while we
wait for whitebread to join the new the new channel and tell us
what what that smells like.
Leila: Like we'll never know. All right. Okay,
David: I'm back. What does it smell like? Which one? I don't
know. You're you said it smells like.
LiteBrite: So my husband Jana. Smells like butterscotch. Okay.
And then I will say in how Hoyas have a bunch of different
smelling flowers depending on what species they are. Some
smell like old lady perfume. Some will smell like chocolate.
Some will.
David: Butterscotch mix? Yep.
Leila: Oh my gosh, chocolate when I want a good smelling
room.
David: Okay, I've got some suggestions. It's called a
vacuum cleaner. is called Bringing your laundry out to the
laundry room more often.
Leila: You would never tell me when you're doing the laundry.
And you need to be like, hey, you know what your laundry I
think
David: I think episode 150 Which we're not making a big fanfare
about we're not doing a big o 100. But I think 101 For the
episodes of a highly most successful podcast in the world.
And you're 13 and I think I think it's probably time you
start doing your own laundry.
Leila: I did my own laundry for about a month and then you were
like, no let me do laundry.
David: I would never say that. Those words would never come out
of my mouth. Oh, let me do your laundry. You do our laundry. I
do. Do the laundry. Doo doo doo
Leila: do our laundry. Yes. And you're fine with it. Yes.
David: It's fine. All right.
Leila: I do the job I clean. I'm looking
David: at the rough around the hedges feed and the last two
episodes were about boys. Yes. Always is your jam right now.
You know some people have pictures of their kids in their
wallet. You got pictures of boys.
LiteBrite: I do. Anyone who asked I will show you pictures
of me.
David: I love that. I was not aware of this plant until just
now when you started never heard Hoya used as a as a plant name.
I keep I keep bumping microphones in a new spot with
so rearranging the studio Monstera overheads.
Leila: Yeah, how big can they get?
LiteBrite: Oh my gosh, I'm massive like if you give them
the space and the right conditions, they just keep
getting bigger. Right so I think the longest not not inside
someone's house but like we go to the conservatory here and
see, I think the large Just sleep I've seen is probably at
least six feet long. And then you know, good four or five feet
wide. Wow. Yeah. All right, a single leaf. A single leaf those
those guys get pretty big. We had
David: some kind of banana plant is what we called it. I don't
know, elephant airplane, whatever, in front of our old
house and its leaves would get about towards me about my torso
size.
LiteBrite: Yeah, the day. That's the allocation Dora and I have I
don't have an indoor but a lot of my friends do and yeah, they
get pretty, pretty huge
David: as well. That plant was invincible. I didn't. I didn't
like it. So I cut it down. I dug up. I thought I got it all. And
then it came back. And then I was like, okay, so I poisoned
it. And it came back. And then we had a plumbing issue. And the
plumbers tore up like a large chunk of our entire front yard,
including the whole area. four foot down where that plant was.
And I'm like, Okay, it's gone. Nope, it came back. Wow. But
months later same spots. So they there must have been a single
like, particle of root on like the wall of the trench that they
just the chlorophyll. Right them chloroplasts had a had a they
were they were ready.
LiteBrite: Yeah, those allocations, they have like a
giant bulb on them. So if you leave any kind of tissue of that
ball, it will it has the ability to come back.
David: Okay, so that whole that explains of them because yeah,
must have left a little. Just a little tiny bit. Yeah, those it
was it was kind of neat, though it did shade. It was like right
in front of the bathroom window. So when they grew up, it did
shade it a little bit. But I mean, we had curtains in there
anyway. But But yeah, planting plants fascinate me, but I'm
just not. I'm not great with them.
Leila: Well, what was your first plant?
LiteBrite: So when I started, I really wanted to, I didn't know
how my cats were going to react to cats at home at the time and
not having plans. And I was I didn't know if they were going
to you know, try to destroy them. And I didn't want to get
anything that would make them sick. So I went with the
Calafia. That is the genus. So I went with three different
colored atheists, the white fusion, the beauty star and the
rattlesnake and brought those home. Full disclaimer, they
still are not in my care because clay theists are extremely
temperamental. And within a few I think within six months, they
had gotten pests and died on me. Oh, no. But they're, they're
also another great. They can be a good starter plant because
they're so cool. They're very dramatic. And they will tell you
when they need to be watered. It's very obvious when they need
to be watered. Yeah, basically what they do, they'll like full
on just like drop or lay like their leaves wilt and then they
curl up and then they look very sad and thirsty. And then you
give them water and then they're happy again. Nice. But those are
cool plants are called power plants. Because they move during
the daytime. Like their leaves are just constantly like
fluctuating and you know, moving towards the Sun moving away from
the sun, however they need it and then at night, they tend to
leaves will come like full on straight up. And they look like
hands in prayer. And that's where that term prayer plant
came from. Yep.
David: Are those are those temperamental? They,
LiteBrite: there's a lot. If you ask a lot of people, they'll say
yes, but I know. They're not if you they just don't like to dry
out a whole lot. So if you're good about recognizing when
they're looking like they want water, okay, giving them water,
then they're they're pretty easy to figure out. Like you said
David: they yell at you. So yeah. Also. Oh, yeah. Okay, so I
just had like, you know, how we always have like a project and
we get halfway done with it. And then we start a new project,
Leila: like crocheting stuff where I have three different
projects.
David: I'm sitting there we've got that whole Arduino kit in
there they've never used and it has a moisture sensor. Yeah. Oh,
so we could like jam the moisture sensor down into the
into the dirt and set it up an Arduino and it could like send
us a text message or something. Yeah, it was only for like one
plant waarmee or, or we could set it up with a speaker and
program it to actually yell at us. If we built one we can build
another Arduino not expensive. Yeah,
Leila: but I think it'd be fine. I'll care for it. If I have one
in my room. You know, do you
David: do you grow any herbs or anything that is edible or only
for just like to look at and whatnot?
LiteBrite: Yeah, I haven't got I'm really into the gardening
for food or growing for food. I we live we live in a townhouse
so we don't have a whole lot of space to have you know,
tomatoes, potatoes all that I would love to. But even like
small herbs or anything like that I haven't I haven't gotten
into it yet.
David: Okay, that's always I'm a practical like I like having I
don't mind to be not that I don't mind I like when there's
flowers. I like when there's stuff like that. But I've always
been like a pretty plants. Like, I want to turn the whole yard
backyard in like, I wanna grow corn over here, and potatoes and
tomatoes. We want to grow the whole thing. But then like,
yeah, work of it. I started thinking about that. And that's
just no time.
LiteBrite: Yeah, I got growing up. And still my parents have a
very large garden. So I spent many time many of summer you
know, weeding the garden and stuff. So I'm kind of good on
that one for now.
David: Right? He's I actually didn't go down to the Fresh
Market. Okay, right stream went down for a second. Okay. It
looks like it's back up. All right. So. All right, it's back
up. Pretty good to go. So, yeah, well, we do at Whoa, we got
really close to the mic there. We do the show live on Thursday
nights, just letting folks know, most Thursday nights, we're
going to start doing it live 7pm. Eastern. And we do have a
chat room on the website. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it
doesn't. But you can always connect to IRC dot zero no.net
and go into the channel. Hashtag Fun Fact Friday. So that's just
to let folks know that we were talking about stream, we're
talking about stuff like that going down. Folks who might be
new listeners, just letting you know. All right, we're actually
working on working on a thing where you can go, you can chat
in either discord, or IRC, or we might be coming back to Twitch
and YouTube. So spoiler warning, we're working on a bunch of
stuff. Now the studio is up and running. We have a secret
project, we have to say, Oh, yes. We're not secret. It's not
a secret. But we're not going to say what it is yet. We want
we're going to complete this project before we announce it
fully. Because I don't want to get people all excited. And then
it take us six months to do. And then you know, they're just like
chomping at the bit for it. But we've got something in the
works. That's going to be super fun for everybody. It's gonna be
it's gonna be silly. Sorry to interrupt the planet
conversation with housekeeping stuff I should have saw at the
beginning of the show, but yeah. Yeah. Did you have any more
questions? Leila?
Leila: I was just wondering bulbs actually like good for if
you have a good houseplant. Ah,
David: we haven't heard about this.
Leila: I did yeah.
LiteBrite: For long term, or sorry, if I guess for like a
constant use, probably not, you might end up you always run the
risk of root rot if you're giving your plant too much water
at any given time and my brain if you're constantly giving it
water, there's no chance for the air because the roots also like
some air so that's where the drying out helps and you know,
helps aerate the soil a little bit. So the those like Aqua glow
things if you're going on vacation, and you're worried
that something's going to dry out while you're gone great,
like an everyday kind of thing. I'd say probably not going to
give your plants a little bit of a break.
Leila: That was my point on the argument. He was like no, you
want the water and the warmth will
David: embolden that. It's like an automatic thing just does it
for you. We did get a boost a little while ago and we never
mentioned it 7777 From blueberry it says or boost RT N so and
then there's a link to our handmade by blueberry. Axolotl
hexagon. GIF
Leila: thing. Yeah. And it's cool. I was gonna say something
but then you interrupted me well.
David: Respectfully.
Leila: No, I don't know what I'm gonna say. So you can turn your
volume back up. But
David: oh, no, I made you lose it. We're talking about the
bulb.
Leila: I know you're not going to.
David: I'm not gonna get you back to it at the bulb. Now.
Library. Did you have any questions for us? About
anything? Like we know, literally everything. That's why
we started this show to share our knowledge about
Leila: everything. Like we're not Yeah, where all these facts
come from us. Yeah, that's why we have show notes.
LiteBrite: Do you know I guess which did come first the chicken
or the egg?
David: Ah, I was just talking to my brother about this earlier
today. You're ready? You're ready. Yeah. Yeah. The egg came
first.
LiteBrite: Yeah, yeah. I also believe that.
David: Do you know? Do you know why the egg came first? And I'm
so sure of this.
LiteBrite: More than likely I'm assuming the chicken is a
hybridization of something. So the egg had to produce the
chicken first.
David: No, because the question is imprecise. Ah, fish eggs were
around before chickens or chicken eggs?
LiteBrite: Oh, it's not. I see. I see.
Leila: So if you say, bring little holes in the earth, so
that his argument is correct, right?
LiteBrite: Yeah, he thinks like, the super Phil. philosophical
answer to that is a circle has no beginning. Sure.
David: I'm looking at a circle on my computer screen. It's
right there. That's the beginning. I see it. Near the
top, but not quite. Yeah, no, that's you if you want to get
super philosophical about it. Depending on on your creation
beliefs on your there's all these different variables that
go along with it. Yeah. And I think it's kind of like, what
was the one about the tree? Oh, if a tree falls in the woods,
and no one's around to hear it doesn't make a sound. All right.
Okay, Leila. Do you have a given answer plan? No, I'm
Leila: just thinking about musicals. Oh, okay. So song and
dear Evan Hanson has this thing all right,
David: yes, that has been around forever. I know. The tree falls
in the woods and no one's around to hear it doesn't make a noise.
Yes. It's like
the sound waves, those sound waves and the energy. It's going
to go out, out and forever and it's going to affect you,
whether you you're near it, or not. Just all these little micro
movements in the air and, and all that. But as getting too
deep, it's just supposed to be there's all these questions that
don't You don't not really supposed to answer.
Leila: If you could have a lunch with anyone in the world who
would be dead or alive, dead or alive.
David: Now that doesn't mean pick a celebrity that you want
dead. named them, and then say no. She means like, you know,
which means
Leila: Yeah, she knew what I meant before you said that.
LiteBrite: Probably gonna get I'm just gonna get real
sentimental and probably say my grandpa that passed away about
15 years ago. Oh, yeah.
David: I'd love to talk to my grandpa too. He. He developed
Alzheimer's. Before I was old enough to really get to know
him. So yeah, that was that was sad. But do you have a fun
answer?
LiteBrite: Oh, I think Freddie Mercury would be pretty cool.
Love to pick his brain a little bit. Yeah,
David: yeah. Freddie Mercury. He's, he's that guy that sings
stuff. Right?
Leila: He does. He's
LiteBrite: saying a couple of things.
David: One or two more to one or two songs you may have heard of.
Leila: was gonna say Miko from Vsauce
Yeah, so who is yours? Leila
David: Michael from Vsauce you want to have lunch with Michael
from Vsauce?
Leila: Yeah, I think it'd be an interesting do to Taco
David: well why don't we start a campaign to try to get Michael
from Vsauce to come on Fun Fact Friday.
Leila: What are we gonna do it on? change.org
David: I don't know. We can just call him when no library is
because number.
LiteBrite: I do. Yeah. I have I have Michael's number. I can try
it.
Leila: I know at least one Michael Right.
David: Yeah, so I think I'm good on questions. Unless Should I
ask the one? Yeah. Okay, so here we go. This is asking not
related questions. For Fun Fact Friday who knows? Yeah, we were
just talking out of all this cereal mascots who would win in
a fight?
LiteBrite: I feel like I have to. If I don't say blueberry
I'll probably get yelled at later.
David: Bye. No,
LiteBrite: but honestly like Tony The Tigers a bit of a tank
I think like that's what I'm saying.
David: Yeah, I mean, so but then you've got the the leprechaun
man. No, but
Leila: didn't Tiger
LiteBrite: Great. Yeah, but the leprechaun man is just like,
good at running away and hiding. He's not good at fighting.
David: But he hasn't been on LeBrock all of the magic.
Leila: I am the Black Eyed Peas Excuse me.
David: Boom, boom. I'm Yeah, no. Count Chocula Oh, did you hear
they're getting the new one this year? No. What? Yeah, no, all of
the serial Halloween people. They're getting a new one. New
serial Halloween lady. What was her name? Monster serials.
Wikipedia. Carmel Carmela creeper, creeper. All right is
the first new serial monster in 35 years.
Leila: She looks like a real nerd.
David: Yeah. So it is Carmela creeper. And this is not an ad
for General Mills. We don't do ads on the show. It is going to
be a caramel apple cereal. So it's gonna be amazing. It's
gonna be like Apple Jacks with karma and marshmallows. Looks
pretty good. And this is like my favorite. She's a DJ of her. And
she's doing a Monster Mash remix.
Leila: Oh my gosh. That's too much.
David: And I think it's gonna have I think it looks like it's
gonna have all of the cereals or is it just,
Leila: I don't think that's gonna be good.
David: I don't know. But I think it's gonna have chocolate would
go out Chocula blueberry, Franken Berry and Carmela
creeper in it. I think that I'm not going to read the article,
because that would give me information and speculating.
Much more fun.
Leila: I know. It's much more fun.
David: It's more thing.
Leila: And then I'm going to ask you the question of the thing
that I asked blueberry when he was on. I forgot the exact
wording. But who's your favorite cartoon character? I think? Oh,
jeez.
David: Have a good one. Have a good one.
LiteBrite: That's a very expansive question. Yeah.
Because then we play the game of wall is animate considered a
cartoon? Is that it does. Okay.
Leila: So I real person.
LiteBrite: I've been on a huge demon slayer kick. for like the
last month. I just read through all the manga. And I've been
rewatching it. Yeah, I like I plowed through the manga in
about two weeks. The Nerd. But I really love nezuko. Like, she's
probably my favorite character from that series right now. And
so that's the first thing that comes to my brain. Yeah, manga
is
Leila: expensive, man. It is. I only buy like two of every one
of them. Because I'm like, yeah, oh, look, a series that I really
like, That's too expensive. Um, okay.
LiteBrite: It's nice when you become an adult, and you have
your adult money that you can waste away on books. But
David: yeah. I spend all my adult money on stupid stuff like
a studio, right?
Leila: The only series that I have, like every single one of
them is Danganronpa. And that's because there's only like five
in each one of the series is. Yeah, because they're pretty
short.
David: That's the one we call dangit. Grandpa. Ding then
rumbles ding ding rumbles Yeah. All right, so we're about a 45
minute mark, give or take a few minutes. And unless you have
anything else, I think we'll wrap up and go to the post show
and we can chit chat about manga or anime, but I think we'll wrap
the show up now. Next week. We have Mimi Smith Dvorak coming
on, and she's gonna be talking about eggs. It's going to be our
eggs episode. It's going to be an excellent eggs episode.
Because we have an eggs spurt coming on
Leila: you got one giggle
LiteBrite: I'm trying to hide the cackle.
David: I just leaned back and let it rip. That's that's what I
usually
Leila: ah, and then his headphones fall off.
David: Yes. Because I'm bald.
Leila: You got your wig cap right here. I mean, your white
hat.
David: Yes, I got a hat that has hair. It looks like a visor. But
then it's got like a really cheap wig sticking out the top
that looks like Guy Fieri hair but it was a wig. And I went
into a discord chat that had video on the other night and I
was talking to people and I was like, Man is getting hot in here
and I took the hat off and wiped my head down with a paper towel
and everybody just it the whole room erupted. And
