Leila: Hello. Hello Guess what? What?
David: We have video now if we like it we got some we got some
work to do on it. But we'll talk about that right after this
fantastic song ends Hey everybody welcome to Fun Fact
Friday where we got cast where we discuss fun facts around a
different topic each week. We are live on Twitch right now.
Yeah, we used to do Twitch back about 110 episodes ago, we
stopped doing it because we didn't have a space to do it.
But now we have the studio and we're gonna get back to doing
some video so we are producing this audio and video stream. It
still needs some work. I've got to get the the backgrounds and I
gotta get my little mechanical keyboard. Macro pad. My choco
pad is what it's called. And I gotta get that working. So we
can just have like little quick keys to change things up. But
yeah, twitch.tv/fun Fact Friday one we may continue to on
Twitch, we may add YouTube we may add no agenda tube, we may
come up with our own video streaming service. I don't know.
I don't know. It's all up in the air. But welcome to Fun Fact
Friday. Lita, what is our topic
Leila: woodwind instruments,
David: woodwind instruments. So like, like, what what is a
woodwind instrument? Flute? Well, flute a flute okay. That's
pretty much it. So until you started, you started playing the
sax? Yeah, a week ago, when school started, you got got a
saxophone, you. You started, you started playing. And I was
thinking this is a brass instrument. Because it's made
out of brass. But apparently it's not. It's because it has a
it has a tiny little piece of wood.
Leila: It's a woodwind made of plastic. I mean, I made a brass.
David: That's a woodwind made of brass, brass tech. So when I
started looking at woodwind instruments on the internet for
facts about them for the show, I came across some some better
stuff. But before we get going, this is a value for value
podcast, we do this show for free, we put it out for free,
we'll never charge for it. This show is free. If anybody's

ratings reviews might help them decide to check out the show.
let folks know about it. But you can also send in monetary
donations. We call that our support. Because it's supporting
our our costs here. And we receive some monetary donations
in the form of Satoshis through the value for value Lightning
Network. You can do that on modern podcast apps that support
it and go to new podcast apps.com. But last week, we had
band drew on and Baroness Levin lights and it's 333 Satoshis and
says thanks for bringing bandroom on the show and for the
bad jokes. Yeah, that I don't. We're kind of out of that. I
don't think they're bad. I think they're bad. Okay. So we also
got 234 Or five sets. 2345 sets from Kevin Halsey from fountain.
Baroness Lebanon was also from fountain second best podcast in
the universe. That's what I'm saying.
Leila: Yeah, exactly. We
David: are the second best. Now. You
Leila: know what?
David: I don't know. We may have to fight John and Adam.
Leila: I'm ready for it.
David: And so So yeah, it says, second best podcast in the
universe. But the most likable hosts all Thank you. Thank you.
And then it says when we'll see SB chip in yo CSB is comic strip
blogger. We've talked about him here before he's a he's very big
on supporting value for value shows, and we appreciate him and
he's got some really funny comics. Not all them are really
funny, and they're not really for kids. So okay, and then we
have from servo just a few minutes ago while we were on our
pre stream. Leila misac Phone. Leila was putting together her
saxophone and servos and us from pod verse 3333 Satoshis saying
sax boost for the saxophone, and she's doing pretty good. She's
doing pretty good on it. She's doing way better than I would be
a week and a half. Oh my
Leila: god. You know what's funny? What's fine. There's a
kid in my class that's teaching me how to play saxophone. And he
doesn't worse than me. He's been in band for two years. Well,
one,
David: what do you think is worse?
Leila: It's, it's not worse. He's just on the same level as
me.
David: Oh, so you're just
Leila: Yeah. Oh,
David: you know? Or maybe he just didn't want to hurt your
feelings. Like show you the first week. Oh, who knows? So,
yeah, so that's it for our Satoshis for this week. We did
get one it might have been in the post show from blueberry for
17,007 76. I can't remember if that was in the show, or if that
was in the post show. But we talked about the I think it was
in the post show. But he had a question for band Drew and he
sent it in for with Satoshi so 17,776 Satoshis. We also got
some Pay Pal donations. We got to let's actually do last week's
first at the end very end of the last show after we had stopped
recording. In the post show we got a very generous donation
from Dwight the night. As a longtime contributor to the
show. $33.33 nice from Dwight the night. Let's see if there's
a note attached to this looking. There it is. I'm enjoying the
show. Keep going. We intend to. Now I fully intend to do this
show for a good long while. It may get really funny when Leila
gets her braces. Oh my god. She's talking like this. Oh, no,
I don't want to make that noise in the mic. I won't. I won't,
Leila: please. Yeah, I'm getting my braces soon. I just got
cleared for him.
David: Right. She's all ready to ready to become a brace face.
And then yeah, and then we also got Oh, I lost the page. There
it is. We received our monthly sustaining donations from Dred
Scott for $19.12. And we call that the Oreo boost Oreo Oreo
Oreo donation. And then from Steven Grimes so all longtime,
longtime donors to the show they pay our bills every month for
the for the podcast and and then some lets us buy some new gear
lets us do video. All this kind of cool stuff. And we definitely
appreciate the support. All right, so on to the new welcome
to Fun Fact Friday news with your lead anchor. Me Lila Blake.
She's the only one who has news stories. I thought you had one.
Leila: No.
David: Well, that's just just one out of that out. Well, now I
did. I did find something that I wanted to. I have that I wanted
to talk about servos making a Simpsons reference in the chat.
Leila needs braces dental plan. Leila needs braces, if you know,
you know. But she shouldn't have to have them for too long.
Leila: Yeah, I did have like some crooked teeth and like any
avenues get plenty fill it up.
David: So I spent a little bit more time on x.com than I
should.
Leila: And he knows this because I've told him yes.
David: And on on there today, there is one one of the people
on there that I see a lot of posts from historic vids as at
history and memes as the username there as talking about
a sheep named Shrek we got a sheep named Shrek who went
missing. That's really focusing anyhoo video. Yep. Shrek got
away from his folks out in New Zealand and managed to live on
his own for six years before he was eventually tracked down by
his owner, John Perrier and parer and who had to say he
looked like some kind of biblical creature when he got
back. Some sheep breeds naturally shed their wool like
bighorn sheep in North America. The type that Shrek was a merino
sheep. They don't. So the wool just continued to grow and grow
and grow. And this sheep there will be a picture in the
chapters if you're listening to this later this sheep is about
looks like about three sheep standing all together clumped
together but it's just one sheep have that much wool on him. So,
in total after they shared all of it off once they found them
and clean them up had 60 pounds of wool. Wow. You know that that
had to be that had to be so much of a relief to get all of that
wool off of there. Can you imagine? I mean, think about it
when you like you've got your hair really long. I don't know
what this is like. But when you get your hair really long and
you get a haircut.
Leila: Yeah. And if it was matted, which I imagine it is
because wool, right. I've heard like a dog groomer, explain
that. It's like having ponytails all over your body, like,
tighter every day. And it hurts.
David: I bet. So, besides Shrek, there have been other instances
instances of oh my gosh, this is hard to say. Other instances of
unshared sheep. That's really hard to say. There was another
one in Australia in 2015 with 89 pounds of wool 89 pounds, that's
what I weigh. I weigh 89 pounds. Totally Yeah. My leg. But yeah,
I just thought I thought that was a cool story. And then
another thing I found this week while kicking around was this
honeybee College. And I'm gonna play the clip. If you're
watching on Twitch, you'll see it and you'll hear it if you're
listening to the show. And anytime now, anytime it wants to
pull up, that would be fantastic. Here we can use honey
Unknown: bees are sitting in a classroom, but what they'll be
learning is not what you think. After being collected from the
hive, the bees are placed in a container and then onto the
fridge to chill. The cool temperature slows down their
movement, which makes it easier to place them into these little
harnesses. There's even a machine that can automatically
load each bee into a harness. While the bees are given a six
second exposure to an explosive vapor, they're given a sugar
water reward during the last three seconds. And after four
rounds of training. The bees that stick out their tongue
voluntarily after receiving the explosive scent are ready for
field work. Multiple cartridges of bees are loaded into a
handheld detection device. Inside the device. A camera or
infrared sensor monitors the bees up close and can identify
when he has stuck out its tongue. The handheld device is
used to test the air sample on the field. With a push of a
button all the bees are exposed to the air in the bag for six
seconds. A unanimous signal from all the bees points to a high
likelihood that they've detected the particular type of explosive
that they were trained on. And after a few days, the bees are
released back to the hive to tell a story of their alien
abduction these. Yeah,
David: I thought that was so cool, huh? What does it do?
Okay, so if it wasn't wasn't clear from what he said, they
take the bees. And they train them to sniff out explosives. So
what they do is they they stick their face into whatever the
smell they're supposed to detect is for six seconds. And then
they put some sugar water on their face. And they look up the
sugar water, right. And then they do this a whole bunch and
train them that every time you smell that you're gonna get some
sugar water. So they start sticking their tongues out after
they smell that particular smell. So what they do is they
strap a bunch of these bees into a little, little detector
device. And they like sucking little air. And if if it has
that aroma of the explosive. Then the bees will all stick out
their tongues if all of them stick out their tongues. That's
an indicator that that explosive is present. So they're using
bees to find bombs.
Leila: Bobby's Bobby's
David: isn't that that's a brand of something. Is it? Yes. I need
to see what what a bomb bees is. Are you are you? Are you
searching? Search looking it up. All right. So this doesn't have
anything to do with woodlands. That's our show is I thought
that that was a neat story. And it how do you think ethically
about that? Does that make you feel? Open if you're in our
chat, we're do live on Thursday nights in the IRC chat. We've
got some pictures of the sheep. Yeah, he's so fun looking. Looks
like a chunky boy. It's what the kids say these days right. Now,
I've got to close some of these windows. I've got entirely too
many windows open.
Leila: I can't find a thing for it.
David: Can't find anything about bombI zombies. I think like it
might be like a chapstick brand or something. I don't know. No.
So let's talk about woodwinds. Okay, I want to look up
woodwinds And, you know, I always like to look at the
history of things. Yeah. And I found this site called Music.
Owl brie.com. And it has 20 fun facts about the flute. Because
the flute was like the first one. That's musical Bri, musical
music. Musical Marie.
Yes. Do you not know what to say? Yep, I know.
Leila: It's at the top of the screen.
David: Okay, okay. Yeah, it says musical. I like music Albery
better. So Good heavens. Okay, so I started, I started looking
at these facts. And musical Bree was one of the ones that came up
and he told me that the flute is the oldest woodwind instrument
and maybe the oldest instrument. Like they're talking like
300,000 years old. Right? Ridiculously old. And that's
kind of because don't make fun of me chat. Because the
definition of a flute is a tube that you blow into. And it
produces sound. Yeah, so when I get the paper towel tube and I'm
like like I do, like you do. That's technically a flute. Is
it? Yes. Okay. According to this side anyway. Flute the flute is
technically any open tube that you will into to produce sound
even an empty Coke bottle. Have you ever done that? Made sound
that's a that's a can think I have any bottles out here. I got
throw them all away. I had some root beer bottles, glass root
beer bottles. I used to cook kind of like a homer into the
jug. But making that's to some some references for tonight. So
the early earliest usage of the word flute itself was found in
Geoffrey Chaucer's The House of Fame, circa 13. At like 650
years ago, right? I guess do you know? Yeah, what a person who
plays a flute is called a floater. A what a person who
plays a flute can be called a flute player. A flute player
noticed a flute is a flutist flowers a flute or a flute or
Leila: or Eva? Eva? Eva. Okay. No, Eva,
David: Eva. A flute missed a flute miss.
Leila: Oh, sounds ridiculous. Flute,
David: Ernest. I've never heard that. But that's what I'm
calling all of them from now on. So when we go to one of your
band, concerts or something, I'm going to be like, Yeah, listen
to that flute mist. Even though you're not you guys hear from a
friend. Yeah, whoever your flute nest friend.
Leila: I have a friend that plays the flute. The
David: flute and his friend of all witnessed one of the first
musical instruments ever, ever invented and has been used for
1000s and 1000s of years. ancient Sumerians, Egyptians,
Greeks, Indians, Chinese and Japanese all had early versions
of today's flute. The major Hindu deity Krishna, holds a
bamboo flute, and has been said that Krishna created the world
through the beautiful sound of the flute. And that the flute
preaches love and freedom. So there you go.
Leila: flutes are very easy to carry around. Yes, because they
don't have a read or anything. They could just be there. They
can just carry around,
David: right? Unlike the saxophone, where it's like, this
huge case and you have to disassemble it even get it into
the case. And so it's a little ridiculous. Yeah, take
Leila: the neck off.
David: You got to take Oh, yeah, you gotta take the neck off. You
got to take the
Leila: mouthpiece off the mouthpiece out of the
mouthpiece. Yeah.
David: I didn't know you had to replace the Read as much as you
do.
Leila: You don't? Oh, okay. What do you think?
David: Well, I mean, they they gave you like 10 of them. So I
figured that's gonna
Leila: last me a while. Okay. So we have about 20 Because I have
10 1.5 and 10 2.5. I have used the two points lever band.
David: Okay, so they I mean, do they go bad and or is it just
like, if you
Leila: treat them wrong, they can. Okay, if you use them
right, you put them back in their case. They can last you
for a little bit.
David: Okay, I don't know. What did you do? I accidentally click
something. Here we go. Okay, so throughout history, flutes have
been made of bone, ivory, wood, Jade glass, plastic. brass
nickel, silver, gold and even platinum. Oh, yeah. Platinum
flute.
Leila: Cool. So, for the saxophone.
David: Oh, I was just gonna say real quick. Servo says in chat
that percussion probably beats the flute and age. Probably
yeah. The first guy that was like, knocked on a tree. It was
just like, Huh? That's like, there we go. There we go. As
high as a bot right there. Are they still saying? No, okay. I'm
trying to be with it, but they keep changing what it is third
Simpsons reference. Go ahead. Squeeze as many Simpsons
references as I can into this episode.
Leila: I only really know about saxophone reeds, because oboe
reeds are really weird.
David: And I hate it. And what way are they weird?
Leila: Okay. Let me let me let me let me let me let me let me
let me let me explain flute I'm sorry, I was getting off at the
tab. So I had to, I had to, say an oboe and oboe, yeah, look up
or read.
David: Oboe reads. Let's look at an image. And we'll pull it up
on screen here. Okay, so it looks, it looks like a a whistle
of some kind.
Leila: I mean, yeah, that's what reads are. Well, it is a two
sided read. So you go into it. And if I read both of them,
okay, instead of having a mouthpiece so
David: it looks a bit like a duckbill. Yes. Okay, so if
you're, we can buy one for $10. But I'm just trying to get an
image of one pulled up. I don't care about cookies
Leila: or money.
David: Yeah. Yeah. So it looks expensive. Yeah, it looks like
you took two of your reeds and push them together and then kind
of like squeezed the side a little bit. So it turns into
like an oval, which apparently is the best shape.
Leila: So in the middle of it, also, there's a little and you
can't see it from that angle. But if you look at it, like from
the front, it has a heart in the middle of it is what it's
called. But it's just a little spot where they both are
separated from each other and pretty sure.
David: Okay, so it has something in the middle that keeps them
from sticking together.
Leila: Yes. That makes it makes your lips put them together.
David: That makes sense. I was looking for an image of that.
Oboe? You said heart? Yes. Oboe read heart. Okay, okay. I see
her. I see how it is. Yeah, so it's not. It is something inside
of it. Yes. Okay. Gotcha.
Leila: You can see from that very neat, very neat. Very neat.
I thought that was cool. It's like the only instrument that
uses those. I'm pretty I'm pretty sure I don't know
everything about woodwinds, obviously. But recorders I don't
even I don't even know they're an instrument, man. There's so
David: definitely, it's like everybody can play the recorder.
What?
Leila: You don't get the SpongeBob references
David: I never watched but neither. I watched either.
Leila: I still get them. It's mayonnaise is from it.
David: Getting from chat piccolo uses one two, I think. Okay, I'm
gonna look up and see her piccolos
Leila: is Piccolo is just a smaller flute.
David: What?
Leila: I'm looking it up on give me a minute. Give me a minute. I
got this. Yeah, Piccolo is just a smaller flute.
David: So do you know how did you find a picture? Yes. Okay,
well talk about talk talk about it. I'm gonna take a sip
Leila: of my drink a piccolo is indeed a smaller flute. It is
just a pickle. Okay, let me read off of the actual facts that are
found in Piccolo is a small or half size flute is played the
same way a flute is, but makes hybrid sounds. So it's an it's
one octave higher than a flute. But it is a flute.
David: Okay, what do you do in terms of mic backup?
Leila: All right. So trumpets are those brass. Those are brass
because they don't have any read in them. Dang it.
David: Yeah, trumpet trumpet is just made of metal. Trumpets
while I'm sweaty. Yeah, it's like 9095 degrees out here.
Trombone trumpets are three buttons.
Leila: Yeah, and you can make so much good noise the three
buttons I'm so jealous. Why the 26 buttons.
David: Why didn't you get go with the I have three choices.
Oh, that's right. That's right. They ran out. because he got
there late
Leila: Yeah. so mad.
David: So we had we had some email come in a while back and
the stream is kind of struggling right now because I'm trying to
open up Outlook and apparently I think computer's gonna crash
it's outlook is the most intensive program for for my
computer to open up for some reason. So we got an email when
Leila was talking trash about something. And we had we had an
email come in and it says, From team from Team Omaha and it
says, or a clarinet, but clarinets are lame, and
attributed the quote to Leila 2023. And Team Omaha says, I'm a
clarinet player, but I disagree. Here's some fun facts about
clarinets. Cool, Mozart loved the clarinet so much that He
gave it a place in the orchestra. He's the one who put
the clarinet in the orchestra. Yeah. The inventor of the
saxophone designed the type of clarinet, bass clarinet. Who
invented the saxophone.
Unknown: Your Mama. No.
David: Let me look. She invented the guitar. So what do you do?
What do you do? Are you searching for something?
Leila: I'm looking for the who made the saxophone
David: was obviously obviously split out. Joseph saxophone?
Yeah. When was 1878? Alright, you close it up.
Leila: Yeah. All right. Okay, so 28th of June. Wow, this is
really specific. 20 of June 1846 is when it was patented.
David: Okay, so there you go. So you probably worked on it for a
couple days before that. He probably was like,
Leila: six years. But yeah.
David: So six years. Oh, boy.
Leila: 26 buttons from what I counted earlier.
David: But 26 buttons are lovers. Yeah.
Leila: They're buttons. Yeah. They're all lovers.
David: Well, they're all a bunch because it's all just Yeah,
mechanical. There's no, no electronics that I know of. So
the biggest money the biggest clarinet ever made, was merely a
few inches shorter than history's taller, tallest man.
And it is the octo contra bass. Now that's a metal band.
Leila: To contra bass. Octo contra
David: bass, right.
Leila: Tell me more.
David: The smallest clarinet in the world was 14 inches, or 0.3
meters.
Leila: I mean, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. I have
what? Okay, I was gonna pull it up.
David: I was like, wow, the octo contract.
Leila: I looked that up. That's what I'm looking at. It's pretty
big.
David: Yeah, yeah, it's it's
Leila: in the closet of the band room. Yeah, you
David: could get it in there. You would take? It probably
comes apart. It probably comes in lots of different pieces.
Leila: Oh, yeah. Probably. That's what all instruments are.
David: The clarinet is the only woodwind with a 12 note
register. Are you sure you can, you can leave a large difference
distance in the music with not too much effort. No other
instrument allows this level of transposing versatility ever.
Except the piano. Pretty much piano just maybe, maybe that
fact just means, you know, with winds and strings. Yeah. But I
now have that. I'll put that in the show notes for all of those
Leila: are super cool. And they have similar reads to saxophones
just a little bit smaller. I'm pretty sure. I keep I keep
saying I'm pretty sure. Like I don't know,
David: well, if you don't know. No, it's better to say I think
or as I as I as I recall or something like that.
Leila: But I hate you or anything you
David: know what you're doing. But my camera is hooked to the
table that Leila is sitting at and it's not a very stable
table. And it's whoa, stop making a clip a lot on Twitch.
Leila: Do you even tell them what weapons interests are?
David: But I tell them what a flute is.
Leila: Yeah, you didn't tell us what one is. Okay. What, as the
name suggests, are musical instruments that combine wood
and Wind to air or air. To explain further in these
instruments wind is blown through them in order to create
vibrations, which then turn into musical notes. So that's what
kid adl.com has to say about it. Let's see what ducks.com has to
say about a dumpsters kid dad only use
David: one. Kid Atul. Is that the site you're on?
Leila: Sure. Music Albery so this is what dumpsters has to
say about dumpsters. We used to use this all the time in
elementary school to search for stuff. It's like a kid friendly.
Chrome almost Google. woodwinds are a type of musical instrument
that the that make their sound when a music musician blows air
into or across the mouthpiece. So it's pretty pretty similar.
Yeah, you know?
David: Yeah. I mean, we know we know it's a sort of wood. It's
sort of wood wooden is it's
Leila: wood. It's wood when you vibrate it on your bottom lip,
usually unless you're an oboe. Stupid oboe.
David: So when you're when your saxophone came in, yeah, and I
put it all together and so it'd be nice and pretty for like when
he came home it'd be like nicer to look at. I played it a little
number one I didn't know you're supposed to wet the read. Number
two, I thought the read went on the top. Okay, so I I did it
wrong.
Leila: How did you do that? That wrong?
David: I didn't look at there was no instructions. None. That
saxophone that we got for? Like 200 bucks. It did not come with
any instructions. It came with a this
Leila: is you could have waited until I get home. Like it just
showed you
David: wanted to play with. I know you did.
Leila: What do you think you were just gonna pick it up and
you would magically start be like, what's his name? What's
his face?
David: Kenny G Kenny?
Leila: G Yeah. You're practically gonna G right?
David: Prank. I'm pretty much pretty much Kenny J Me too. I'm
pretty much cagey.
Leila: I am getting you soon.
David: All right. What are you gonna talk about our bossu
Leila: I'm gonna drink some more money a s s o n.
David: Are you live? Are you getting your facts live? Did you
do any research for this soon? I like flute better.
Leila: I like food better do I'm not getting my facts live. I
just have doctors open and I'm looking at that was the doctors
that say that as soon as similar to oboe, and is low lowest pitch
member of the double reed family. So it uses the double
reed considered a bass instrument. So it's very low.
David: Bass.
Leila: What does it look like?
David: It looks like a bass.
Leila: Oh my gosh. I love these so much. Wait, okay, this. Oh
yeah. It's like the little spaghetti.
David: It's like a Guinea noodle. It's a tube. It looks
like a big, big tube. With like one little spaghetti noodle
sticking out of the blue.
Leila: Like a huge, like a long Kaleidoscope with a little
spaghetti noodle coming out and you eat it. You're, you're
eating noodles at a kaleidoscope?
David: Why? Yeah, eating noodles out of a kaleidoscope?
Leila: Yeah, that's why bands gonna be called this what they
called me in high school.
David: Is Yeah.
Leila: I was just talking image. I love this. monsoons are so
funny looking. Okay, what about them? Best soon?
David: What's a Batum?
Leila: What's the Batum? What's a bathroom? Oh,
David: why are you shaking my tables? So?
Leila: I can't. A bassoon is a double read instrument that is
the largest member of the woodwind family. We know.
David: We need a producer to handle all of your produce all
this stuff. Yeah, but we need a producer. That's not me. Didn't
get one. Hey, everybody. We need a producer to come over to our
house on Thursday nights.
Leila: No thanks. Actually. No, actually, we don't need to tell
them. Please.
David: That's fine. Yeah. No, it would be nice to have somebody
to handle all the technicals while we're working. I get why
people do it, you know?
Leila: Uh huh. All right. So it has nothing to do with
woodwinds, but it does have to do with brass. What, what do you
do
David: to to carry this? This is a gag that's gonna go completely
over the heads of the people who are just listening
Alright, it's good enough. There's a there's an end image
of bassoons on the internet and I, I imported it onto our stream
and we're fake playing. It was fun. Absolutely funny.
Absolutely. When we released this on video, be sure and go

David: new one in high school. Okay, so before I interrupted,
what were you gonna say?
Leila: Okay, there's a there's a girl in my class. And she has he
plays trumpet. But I watched her. They have a little thing on
their instrument that they can click to like, it's the the spit
funnel, whatever it is, you know, spit valve flip off.
That's what it is. And they like, they like, push a button
down and it opens those bit valve. And then they blow into
it. Well, I watched a girl do that, like all over the band
room floor and I was like, What? What was that?
David: Excuse me? I thought they were supposed to do that. Like,
at the end of the day. Or like they're supposed to have a
bucket. Like a bucket. spittoon spittoon. Yeah. You don't know
what a spittoon is.
Leila: I thought people peed into that.
David: Oh my gosh. Yeah, it would be called a platoon. A
platoon? Yes.
Leila: Splatoon what would that be?
David: Sir? Sir? Mo says he'll be our Jamie. For ruin board if
we have a crawlspace actually, we do have a good crawlspace we
got a really good we gotta like get the plastic under the house.
There may be a dead animal under there right now though.
Leila: So we're gonna figure it out.
David: Yeah, a spittoon is this it's like a brass bucket. But
it's like a bowl. Yeah, I've seen the collar. And you know
what they were for? It was for people who chewed tobacco to
spit spit out their tobacco. All right. They'd have been bars and
stuff. Alright. was a big part of old Looney Tunes. cartoons.
Maybe I want to thing I make the tick noise when I when I hit the
spit. I know. I know. It's super gross. We used to have one that
we got from like an antique store or something that we put
change in.
Leila: Get your change the tune? Yeah. Of course. Tune. Tune.

Servo. Really fun game on the Nintendo Switch. Speaking of
Nintendo Switch,
Leila: I think Splatoon was originally on the Wii. And then
Splatoon two was on the Wii U I think or no the switch. Sorry.
May be I'm pretty sure.
David: Maybe I don't recall.
Leila: I remember playing it on the slap rune.
David: We got we got our Wii U shortly before the switch came
out. So all of that that whole time. Kind of like meshes
together for me.
Leila: What was Splatoon released on? Was it on the Wii?
You know, that was Splatoon three Shut up Google. Someone
clip that.
David: I remember Pikmin Pikmin on the Wii U Wii U
Leila: It was released on the
David: Wii. Okay, so it was when we first did like, like I said
that whole era. I remember playing it was all a big blur
for me, because that was one of trying to sell the old house and
it wasn't you know,
Leila: will turn to was better than Splatoon. Well, I haven't
played Splatoon three,
David: hopefully. Hopefully. What do you mean, hopefully the
sequel is better than the original on a video game.
Leila: Yeah, I played it. Well, I'm
David: not. What do you mean? I'm just saying that if a video
game comes out, yeah, no. And then they release a sequel to
it. I think you would hope that the second word would be better.
Leila: Yeah, no, but I thought you were like saying it. No, I
David: wasn't saying. Oh, no, I wasn't doing no. Oh, yeah, we
have three. We don't

David: But while we're on the topic of Nintendo Switch, we've
been 3d printing cassette tape cases for Switch games. And then
we bought a bunch of blank cassette tape cases. And we you
can put the game in. And then we printed out or printed out a
bunch of labels. So like, it will look like an old 80s
cassette tape collection. But it's Switch games. And it's
really cool. Yeah, if you want some will say some just, you
know, what to do shipping and handling and stuff. But we'll,
