Leila: Oh, hello. That was fast. I'm all the way backed up. Hold
on.
David: Oh, we started started early. I jumped the gun on that
one.
Leila: We were making the outline making the outline and
he just click the record button. Boom al
David: Fun Fact Friday with Leland, David,
Leila: except it's on Thursday this time.
David: Most times we record on Thursdays, but it's Friday in
Australia. And we know for a fact. We have some some
listeners in Australia. Oh, yeah,
Leila: I do.
David: Fun Fact, Friday is a weekly show where I discuss
different topics and tell you some fun facts about them. And
maybe some surprising facts, maybe some boring facts. But you
know, we try and make facts and if there's if there's not any
facts, or they're not facts, let us know. Male FunFactFriday.com
Leila: Yeah,
David: you know, so they There you go. That's where we are. And
you know what else we are? What international stars? Are we we
are we are getting asked to be guest stars on other podcasts.
Yeah. All kinds of stuff. Recently, I was interviewed for
a show and a new upcoming show that comes out next month,
called it's called my other podcast is because as most of
you are aware, I haven't different podcasts and Fun Fact
Friday. It's called meatus pod. It is science fiction, fantasy
and horror short stories told in an audio drama style. It's not
always appropriate for children. So listener discretion is
advised. I normally try and do a warning before each story. If it
is, you know, of questionable content, which the most recent
episode is. We also were just a guest this episode has not been
posted yet either. On
Leila: better call Dad and uncle daddy.
David: With Rena Friedman watts, she is a podcaster who has done
a ton of episodes with a new arena when she came on our show
a couple of weeks ago. I'm telling y'all who she is. She
was on arena 911 episode and we did a you know, she we she came
on our show we went on her show is a good time. We had a really
good time talking to her. Wish we could have talked longer, but
we started really late. Leila had to go to bed and you know,
it was a whole thing. So but yeah, go check that out. And
think that, is that it for the week. Do we have any other
amazing news? No, no. So why don't we jump right into some?
Leila: That's the shortest we've ever done an intro. I know.
Right? One.
David: We didn't have a lot going on this week.
Leila: But now a couple rants that I want to say. Oh, no, I
do. Oh, no. All right. Write them down. Okay, don't
David: forget them. Okay. Talk about your good news week. Yeah.
On Fun Fact. Friday. Good news. It is. So there was this couple
right. And they were getting married? How married were
Leila: they
David: not yet married? Ah. Elizabeth was born on September
13 1989 at 1988. And so was Joshua. Elizabeth was born at
Mercy Hospital in coon Robins minute met Coon Rapids,
Minnesota. I'm a professional podcaster. So was Joshua. The
pair were born at the same place on the same day, just six hours
apart.
Leila: I have a friend that was born on the same day as me. Yep.
At the same hospital as a hospital. Yep. And I
David: worked with her dad. So yeah, so this couple found out
like they were born at the same hospital on the same day, and
they got married. And they found pictures of themselves as kids
together in the same kindergarten class.
Leila: Oh my god. Yeah.
David: And the, the woman's mom had went to a recital or
kindergarten graduation video. And they both of them were in
the graduation video, of course. And the mom had zoomed in on
Joshua, and then zoomed out, and then zoomed zoomed in on her
daughter, Elizabeth. Just like, mother's intuition, I guess is
what they chalked it up to. But they they had a lot of
similarities in their lives. And they were they they they
consider it does it divine intervention. Quote from Joshua,
we believe it was God, in spite of the facts. We could have all
had all these similarities, but been completely polar opposites.
And that's just not the case at all. So I feel like it was just
a perfect match. And yeah, I think it was divine for sure. So
they're both religious people. And they both have said that
they were both in dark places in their lives. And let's see where
was it? Yeah, they were both had just had divorces. And they said
that they were in going through some dark times and that's
usually quote that's usually when we've seen God really do
work in our lives. So they they feel like they were destined to
be together. And it's just kind of neat that they were, you
know, and plus, it makes their birthday. Just like, like
Christmas. Like, everybody gets something, you know, it's not
just like one person get a present. So they got just gotta
remember their anniversary and then their own birthday. They
don't have to worry about remembering all this other
stuff. But they, they got in touch with their kindergarten
teacher. And she dug up some pictures of them playing
together at Field Day. So they've got that now. And I just
it's just a really nice fun story. I thought that was a that
was a good one. Yeah. And so yeah, that's, that's my Good.
Good news story.
Leila: Yeah. So mine's about Jazz. Jazz. Yeah. So there is
this teacher in Tampa. Okay, he's blind. But he is a jazz
teacher. He plays saxophone like me. And, okay. So he's at
Madison, you
David: know, he can go.
Leila: And I was going to read the story, but I looked at the
picture for it. And it has like him and his students, but one of
the saxophone owners has his saxophone in his hand. And his
ligature is upside down. And I can't get over it.
David: What's a ligature for us on saxophone.
Leila: There's so many parts of the saxophone. So you have the
body of the instrument, which is what the one with the keys. It's
like the main part of the instrument, then it has the neck
that goes into it, and then the mouthpiece attaches to the neck.
And the mouthpiece has three parts. It has the actual body of
the mouthpiece, the ligature, and the read. Now, the ligature
is something that holds the reed to the mouthpiece, so it's like
a little plate. It's not a clamp. It's like a clamp. It's
like a clamp, but it has screws on it, right? Yeah, like upside
down. And some ligatures have one screw under there, the good
ones are the expensive ones, right? So he has that one, but
it's upside down. The screw is supposed to be the bottom. His
top, this is the top, and I would understand this because he
the teacher is blind and he does it. Okay, let me explain the
story first. It just kind of has to do with the story.
David: So get ahead of yourself. Yeah,
Leila: I am. So the teacher, he made his own Braille sheet
music. He did all of that stuff, because he's blind. And he
teaches his students by saying you have to feel the music. And
you have to feel the instrument. And I kind of understand that,
because when you're a jazz music, you're when you're a
jazzy guy. You got to you got to be able to improvise, man.
You're jazzy guy. But, no, yeah, that's what he teaches. And I
would understand that his ligature was upside down. If
there wasn't a screw on it that was supposed to be at the bottom
right?
David: Well, okay, no, no, to be fair, to to be fair. Everybody
has their own little style. Right?
Leila: Yeah.
David: What if that kid feel like it wouldn't play as good,
but what if that kid can only play if it's upside down? I
mean, he's just like, I mean, like,
Leila: you know, there's people be held as held on as good and
it wouldn't be right the way
David: it was supposed to be. I get that. But like, there's some
people have
Leila: to come in contact with the thing in a certain way to
make it make noise. Okay,
David: so maybe there was that kid's first day maybe. And like,
maybe the teacher hadn't hadn't like, felt the instrument to to
make sure it was all how it supposed to be. And like I said,
maybe that kid like, that's how he learned, maybe, and it messes
him up, if he puts it back normal like he's supposed to. He
may have picked up his dad saxophone and watch some YouTube
videos on how to play. And just like never fixed that. Never saw
that. That was what you're supposed to do. And like, but he
got pretty good at playing it like that. It's like when
somebody gets really good with an instrument. That's just a
really bad version. Yeah, like a really cheap guitar, but they
get really good with it. They pick up a good guitar, and it
feels different. So they have trouble playing it. Yeah,
Leila: I have something that no one else would notice. Right.
But it really got my goat. You know? He's not doing it right. I
don't for him.
David: I don't type with my fingers on the home row keys,
like you're supposed to mean either. So I type. Yeah, and
people I've had to hit people like what are you doing?
Leila: I mean, I don't like do the thing where you hold up one
finger and do the one
David: the shift or the what
Leila: to like, I don't like look at the letter. Oh, no, you
don't I stare at the keyboard while I'm typing. And I do it
like that. I do. Normal typing you don't.
David: You don't hunt and peck. No, I don't. But you have your
own. I had to look at a keyboard. Yeah, I have to glance
down at it. I've just I don't know if it's just a being unsure
of myself. Oh, and this concludes Fun Fact.
Leila: Friday news. Here we go. So I have a friend that can
actually touch type like really well. Your mother can touch type
really well. I also have a mother that can touch type very
well, very,
David: very well. She's, she like, was top of her class and
typing in high school. So speed wise, every
Leila: time I hear her type, it's always it's so loud. But
she hasn't really clickety clack
David: of the keyboard. Yes, I gave her one of my mechanical
keyboards and I even got her some key caps that are louder
than the regular cat was your little ASMR section. Yeah. But
all right. So Fun Fact, Friday news SEC complete, complete. And
I think we're probably going to start moving the value of what
we're trying out some different stuff. Yeah. Remember the value
value segment in between news? And then the meat of the show?
Oh, really? All right. Or do you think we should put it Do you
want to put it at the end? At the end? At the end? Okay, do I
put in the middle? I don't come
Leila: to you. It's up to you. Do you make it I do that I
David: did that putting it into the host. But you do the putting
right here the talent, talent. I gotta get you a shirt that says
the talent. I'm
Leila: just a dude that shows up for the for the show, and then
leaves? Um,
David: well, okay, so I am going to I have been working on
something and I'm, I talked a little bit about it last week.
But I have gotten the show note maker complete. And the chapter
maker complete, and the chapter aren't making complete. So now I
should be able to do everything involved with after we hit stop
on the recording, I should be able to have everything complete
and uploaded by in less than 10 minutes. Now that does not
include the chapters because Dred Scott does our chapters.
But I feel like with the new chapter maker, if dread wants to
take a week off, I could get him done fairly quickly, not 10
minutes, because the chapters is quite a task. And we think,
Dread profusely for that. But yeah, I feel like I feel like I
got some some neat little tools built for myself. And it feels
really good that me and me and some some AI chatbots got it
done. And I learned a lot about JavaScript and PHP and HTML, why
didn't learn about HTML. But anyway, I'm proud of myself is
what I'm saying. I'm also proud of myself, I'm saying for
something else. I know that pride is a sin. But I got a role
in a Marvel game. Night, a voice acting role. It's in an app
called Marvel move. And it's part of the new Daredevil series
in the app. It's a fitness app. And that's all I'm allowed to
say. He signed the contract. I've signed an NDA. And that's
all I'd say. So I'm very excited about it. More information will
be coming very soon. It won't be long at all. So pretty hyped up
about that. And so yeah, why don't we get into what we're
actually going to be talking about? Because we didn't say it
at the beginning?
Leila: Oh, we didn't we know the language.
David: Body language is a very interesting topic to me. I've
always been a foil.
Leila: Yeah, I just read a foil thing. I want to rant about it
later.
David: Okay, and we can rant about foil in a few minutes. But
body language I started being interested in when I was doing
sales, I will sales when I was waiting tables, which is we like
to think of ourselves as salesmen because we were always
trying to push certain items on the menu or, like, you know, the
the tuna was going out of date in a couple of days. So we had
to sell as much as possible. So they would say, you know, Hey,
be a salesman, push, push the tuna. And, you know, I studied
sales a little bit and a lot of a lot of techniques, body
language techniques, please stop changing the formatting on our
show notes. It's messing with my head came into play when you're
doing sales. So one of them is mirroring. Yeah, and mirroring
is the if if you're having a conversation and you feel
comfortable and connected to somebody you will start to
mirror their, their their body vote motions and body that Yeah,
everybody does. Well I do that. Only when somebody else is get
it because mirroring so one of the things that I learned is
when you're trying to convince somebody of something and you're
saying you know hey, what do you think about you know, what do
you think about tuna you big fan? You know some really good
tuna steaks. If you nod your head? Yeah, it well I'm talking
about like when I was waiting tables. I would nod my head.
Yes. While I was asking a question that I wanted to yes
answer to. And subconsciously, that would put them in a more
positive mood because they would start mirroring me not realizing
they were, or maybe realizing, I don't know how smart they were.
But it seemed to work it seemed to give, you know, and the some
of the things we're going to talk about in this episode could
be used for evil, is what I'm saying. All right, any kind of
psychology stuff, or body language stuff, things like that
can always be used for good or evil, if you know a lot about
them. And being able to read people's micro expressions. But
go back to mirroring, basically what it is, is, if you're having
a good conversation with somebody, and they kind of
slouch and lean back a little bit in their chair, you're
probably going to do the same. You kind of keep just mirror
each other's movements and postures and it builds rapport,
and kind of creates a sense of trust, when you can, you know,
copy each other a little bit and kind of be okay with each other.
You're like, okay, we're, we're on the same team here, you know,
just through body language. Yeah. And then, but yeah,
talking about that you can also do, one of the things that I
used to do to my manager. Another body language thing that
you can do is when you're having a conversation with somebody,
and you're both intensely into the conversation, you're both on
the same page, like an employee and a boss, talking about
business things or you know, table 34 needs this or both,
right? If I am giving information to my boss, he is in
a receptive mood, or, you know, his just his posture is
receptive to what I'm telling him. So I would hand him dirty
dishes while I was telling him information that he needed to
know. But I wouldn't like say here, boss, take these dirty
dishes to dish for me, I would just slowly push them towards
him while keeping eye contact, and he would subconsciously take
them from me. Because he just like he's listening to what I'm
saying. And he's receiving the information. But he would take
the dishes, and then I would be like, Alright, I gotta go, I
gotta go take care of some stuff. And then he would look
down and have some dirty dishes in his hand and be like, Oh, I
guess I gotta take these to dish or he would hand them to
somebody else and say, Take these to dish. So Oh, little
tricks. You know, just fun little stuff you can try on your
friends as a joke. Nothing. Don't be evil.
Leila: So who actually frowns? Raise your hands. I want to show
you actually Oh, wow.
David: Didn't expect that. Many? Yeah, Greg. Gee,
Leila: are you frowning man?
David: He won't tell us because Greg Greg doesn't donate. Oh,
wow. So so
Leila: like an actual thing. I could do people frown. I don't.
David: In like real life. Unless you have that just as your
natural people frown
Leila: in real life. People frown in real life.
David: Your your AI chat bot.
Leila: What's that Gemini.
David: Oh, you're gonna do the Google Gemini. I'm gonna it's
gonna give you messed up results that thing is but I can't think
of seeing somebody actually like with their the tips of their
mouth downturned unless that's just how their faces normal.
Yeah, because some people just have that that musculature in
their face.
Leila: And their mind is asking me stuff I don't want to I've
David: got hold on. I've got I've got chat GPT logs, so well.
I've been working on the on the stuff okay, so do people frown
IRL do people frown and real life? frown?
Leila: I love the concept of saying in real life after
something. It's funny because it's so funny.
David: Do people frown in real life? Absolutely. Absolutely
not. Frowning is a natural expression that people make when
they're upset, annoyed or concentrating intently on
something.
Leila: I shouldn't say frown for me.
David: For him for me. So you want me to do it? Around for me?
I don't think chat. Free one. I don't think the free one can.
I'm an AI language model. Typically frowning involves
contracting muscles. I don't have muscles.
Leila: That I think that there's some dude behind GBT that sees
my
David: gosh. Yeah, well, I mean they probably could they could
probably drill down
Leila: on some people found in real life frown for me. No,
David: I know that I've been playing with Google Gemini also
and it will give you graphics are really cool. It will give
you graphics of things. Like I asked for a directory structure
of something that I was working on and it like did it in like
ASCII text as a neat little thing. But But what Okay, so
you're saying frown? Yeah. What are you talking about?
Leila: Like, when you downturn your mouth? Like I feel like
that's not a response to anything.
David: I do it. I just made the face right I did a downturn not
like a comical, you know, I'm trying to look sad, but like,
just like when I'm thinking really hard, I think I frown I
think the corners of my mouth downturn
Leila: well that's just the way your mouth works. You don't
that's what a frown is you don't put into muscle work maybe I
knew you don't put into muscle work.
David: I started looking at myself 24/7 Like an influencer?
Don't
Leila: want to try that thing where it's like, if you stare in
the mirror for like 10 minutes. Oh
David: my gosh, I don't want to try it. Do it. It messes with
your head. Ah, just stare directly in the mirror blink as
little as possible because I have
Leila: like just scarier. So my room? And
David: I'm gonna tell you don't do it. If you're like alone,
yeah, don't do it alone. Yeah, it like messes with your head
because you see your face start to change. And it's just tricks
of your eyes. Your eyes don't like looking at your own face
for too long. And like intently staring at it. And but yeah,
it's, it messes with your, your, your brain doesn't like looking
at it. I don't
Leila: like looking at any foreign thing for too long.
Right? Like, I'll be chatting with my friends. And I'll be
like, All right. And I'll like look down for a little while.
Because I'm tired of them. Sorry. I'm tardy Allspace
David: they have that kind of relationship. I'm sure. They
goof around like Oh, yeah. So, so okay, they don't listen to
this. Do you know what micro expressions are? Yeah. Like so
the things that normal people do. Right? Everybody has these
little micro expressions of the student the pictures is not
microing not well, he's exaggerating it but am I trying
to to show you what it is. So if you've got sadness, you have a
duper, duper, duper drooping upper eyelid. smolder, right,
you lose focus in your eyes and a slight pulling down of the lip
corners. Just a slight a straight line mouth. Anger,
eyebrows down and together. Your eyes are glaring. And your lips
are narrow like you kind of pull your lips in and make them
narrow contempt. lip corner tightened and raised on only one
side of the face. discussed your nose wrinkles, and your upper
upper lip raises. Surprise, eyebrows raised, eyes widened,
mouth open. Oh, no. looks so weird. And then fear. eyebrows
raised and pulled together raised upper eyelids tensed
lower eyelids and lips slightly stretched horizontally back to
the ears.
Leila: Your eyes face looks like when the cat smells something
bad.
David: Just like open and we're on the medium link in the show
notes. If you want to check out the image we're talking about if
if chapters aren't up when you watch or Darwin, Darwin,
Darwin's lie detection. Yeah, it's talking about like how
everybody kind of has the same habit. Who's Darwin? Charles?
I'm guessing they're talking about that. I didn't read
through the Hart article completely. Charles are the
fish. The fish from your show? Gumball? Yeah, yeah.
Leila: Okay, I realized like two days ago, because my friend told
me this. But Darwin, the fish from the basement of Gumball
that his name is Darwin, because he started off as just a fish.
And he grew legs. So he evolved. Yes. And Charles Darwin
leveraged came up with the theory of evolution. Because
we're just starting to talk about the theory of evolution in
science class. Oh, no. And he turns to me, he's like, you
know, you know, Darwin was named after Charles Darwin. I was
like,
David: we never told the m&m story.
Leila: We did not okay. I gotta get some water back in my throat
because I kept gasping so
David: there we were. In the, I'm just starting to know just
starting it. So there we were in the kitchen. I am pulling out
some fish, not fish, chicken, some chicken patties that we
have there. The spicy breaded chicken patties and I
Leila: said, that's an awfully hot coffee pot. Because, you
know, Eminem? He says, I've never heard him say yes, that's
an awfully hot coffee pot.
David: I've never heard him say. He's a lyricist. So.
Leila: So you just keep saying that's an off the hot coffee
bot. And I begin to say, Yo, I'm Eminem. Marshall met. Because
Marshall Mathers him m n m, and he named Eminem because he
doesn't want to m n M because M n m is already a brand and he
didn't want to get m n sued
David: the s and Eminem has been sued. Oh, goodness. Anyway, it
was it's really funny. Eminem has no incident when women
pneumophila figures out something that that is very
fairly obvious. And it just like completely shocks blows my mind
and the Darwin thing and what happens is when when this
happens, she I'm trying to scroll up to it. She has
eyebrows raised eyes wide open because of surprise. So, yeah.
So that's what a micro expression
Leila: sounds like micro aggressions like what is what?
micro
David: aggression? We're not going into micro aggression.
It's a whole thing. We'll we'll talk. Maybe we'll do an episode
about micro aggressions. It's an interesting topic, but it's,
anyway, we're not going into it.
Leila: So I know I've talked about this on the show before.
But when people say it takes more muscles to frown than it
does to smile. I hate. Is it true? Uh, probably. It's just
who frowns?
David: Oh, okay. So we're still on the two people.
Leila: Raise your hand,
David: I think. I think when you frown, I think you're like, are
actively trying to do it. Because you're trying to
exaggerate where you're trying to exaggerate the situation.
Yeah, to show like, do that pity me, you know, that sort of that
sort of thing. Some people may I don't round. I can't think of
anybody. I can think you frown raise your life.
Leila: I just I'm making that joke. It's yeah,
David: it's a one time deal. You gotta let that one go.
Leila: But like, I'll be in the middle of class. And my friend
says something. To me. That makes me sad. And I'll frown at
her. Right to let her know, let her know. I'm sad. I'm sad. Sad.
David: So let's move on to anyway, this isn't about
running. Cultural differences. Oh, body language can vary
significantly across cultures. What is considered polite and
respectful in one culture might be deemed as deemed as rude or
aggressive in another? Some cultures making direct eye
contact is a sign of respect, while in others it can be seen
as a challenge. Oh, that's why I think it's Britain. I think I've
heard in Britain like you. If somebody's if you're on if
you're in the tubes, you know, in the on the train? Yeah. You
don't look at anybody. You don't make eye contact with anybody.
Or they'll thank you. That's what I've heard. Ah, so. And
then I know that I can't remember which country it is.
But what like, you know how, like, if you're saying, Come
here, you'll use your left Korea index. That's South Korea. If
you use your index finger and curl it up towards yourself like
the come here motion is that? I don't know. I just,
Leila: I know. Probably some people do it. I've done it
before. I just usually do like the
David: whole hand. Yeah, the whole hand, the arm, but the way
you just looked dumb doing it. But apparently even the whole
hand. If your palm up when you do it. That's how you call a dog
or an animal in Korea. And if you do it, you'd have to do it
palm down. If you're doing it towards a person, or it's taken
as you're calling me and treating me like a dog. I
Leila: learned that like five years ago, and I've done the
little underhand thing ever since when I'm doing it to
people I don't know. Or I just shook my head. I usually do in
my head. Actually. I never really do the call over thing.
Yeah, I usually
David: do the hand motion like the whole hand towards Me
because more visible you know, another cultural difference that
I learned recently that this isn't a body language thing.
Gift giving in Japan. Oh, it's so cool. Super, like super
formal. Yeah, there was a video about how they they do gift
wrapping there. And like they had a speed gift wrappers. And
Leila: they like that's an awfully hot coffee pot. Right.
David: And they Yeah, they do speak different but it depends
on like how the gift wrap is folded as to how you're supposed
to give the gift like if the seam is on one side of the box,
that seam should be turned to where it closes to their left or
something like that. I'm wrong about the details. But the the
orientation that you give the box to the person when it's gift
wrapped matters and can mean different things different ways.
And we'll try and find the video and put it in the show notes.
But I can't promise anything because like, couple of weeks
ago we watched you know, power posing, what you want to talk
about this one you want to talk about power pose and go for it.
I'm going to drink some drink Because
Leila: I have a story behind this, okay. So power posing.
Research suggests that adopting a powerful posture can actually
boost your competence and testosterone levels, or making
yourself small can have the opposite effect. So if you if
you small than estrogen, but if you tall then testosterone,
what? No.
David: certain actions that you take will induce the production
of one or the other. I know that chopping wood produces extra
testosterone, like taking an axe and going out and chopping wood.
Standing in the Superman, like the classic Superman pose, hands
on the hips chest out, you know, that Superman pose also
increases your testosterone levels, your confidence, all
that stuff. Yeah.
Leila: You if you're having like a, like a, like a breakdown, or
if you're really sad, stand up or you're just low energy. Yeah,
stand up, do a power pose. Stand up and raise your hands like
Superman. Because it's really funny. It will make you laugh
and will make you feel better. I promise. I was
David: in the works the hands on the hips, shoulders out, elbows
straight out. Move, you know, that pose? That's a good one. I
Leila: think I think it's funnier when you stand up and
put your arms in like a lot. Like you're gonna fly. Yeah,
like you're gonna fly like you're
David: okay. So my buddy James has always had this question
about Superman. And this is one of those things you're just not
supposed to ask? Because you're supposed to just be like, Oh,
okay. Because you're with some stuff. Yeah, the story like some
some movies and TV shows, and comic books and things you had
kind of just have to suspend your disbelief, and just be
like, Okay, so that's what happens. Yeah, in the universe
that they're in. That's normal. He always had the question. When
Superman is flying, right? He wills himself to leave the
ground. Right? And once he's flying, how does he fly faster?
Like, how does how does he control his study have a motor
like direction I can understand like, by how you move your body
through the air and things like that, but he could never
understand like my does he just think I want to go faster.
Because if that's the case, what
Leila: I think it is, is he is actually a plane, and he's
hiding. He actually has motors and a propeller. But he doesn't
want people to know. So he hides underneath escape,
David: there's a theory that he has a energy field around
himself. And it actually extends about a little a little bit a
couple of millimeters past his skin, which is what, which is
what keeps his outfit from getting destroyed by a lot of
the things that would normally destroy an outfit. But the
theory is that he can expel extra energy. And that's how he
flies. So if he wants to fly faster, he'll just expel more
energy. So that's the going theory, which is all fiction
simply just goes faster is yeah, he just simply thinks I want to
go faster. And if that's the case, why wouldn't he just want
to always go faster, to get to where he needed to get quicker.
But we're talking about fictional characters, so it
doesn't really matter. There's no science behind it. If you
have any of it, especially back when they wrote it. They weren't
thinking, how are we going to explain how Superman flies?
Leila: If you like stuff like this? You should watch some of
the pitch meetings. For movies. Yes.
David: YouTube, there's a Screen Rant does Screen Rant does it
and that I think they have their own channel now called Pitch
meetings. It's Ryan George has named does it? Oh, my goodness.
That was a bad noise. Yeah, he he basically tears down the
movies. And it's like he's pitching it to the guy. And
anyway, it's funny. Not always appropriate. What what do we
say? Barely an inconvenience? Yes. That super easy. Barely an
inconvenience. Yeah. And what's it? He says, get all the way off
my back about that. Yeah. Get all the way up all the way off
my back about that. But one of the one of the funny things that
happened on the internet this week, was the creator of another
superhero named Omni man, stated definitively as a fact that Omni
man can beat Superman in a fight. And I'm like, Well, if
you're the creator of Omni, man, then yeah, because you're his
writer. And you can literally just say he has infinite power
or infinite. I'm like, we're talking about fictional
characters and you control one of them. So yes, you are
correct. If you had the license to have them to write a story
where they fought, you could write it any way you wanted. Or
Leila: you have any buddies in the fridge. My throat I don't I
don't think
David: we have any bubbles. I think we have some waters if you
want to grab one. I'm gonna pause. Yeah. Yeah, she needed a
drink. I had to cough. So yeah. What the next thing we're going
to talk about. We talked about differences. Now we have thought
about Univer are small gestures. So even though some things are
like cultural some are just like everybody, like if you see
somebody smiling no matter where you are in the world, it's just
a sign like they're happy or friendly. Yeah, right. Frowning
is worldwide, associated with sadness and disapproval. So
there's some things that are just universally. It's the
natural thing that happens when we feel certain emotions that
everybody feels. So they not it's not a cultural thing. And
yeah, so a clenched fist can mean anger because I think
worldwide a clenched fist is like, I'm gonna punch you in the
face.
Leila: Arthur mean. Arthur mean? Yeah,
David: Arthur, clenching his fist. Yeah, that's
Leila: right. Like you were like clearing your throat out.
David: That's how I angry
Leila: me when I'm angry. You
David: wanted to talk about handshakes? Oh, sure.
Leila: I was just gonna talk about handshakes. Okay,
handshakes.
David: How do you feel? How do you feel about handshakes? Um,
Leila: I feel like I feel like it's i I feel really I feel
really self conscious when I give someone a handshake.
David: Okay, so how do you think you could make it? Matt Bucha
refusing just refused. Yeah, I
Leila: know what you're getting out. You're gonna give me a
hint. All right.
David: Let's just push. Oh my gosh. So like, No, we're not
doing that.
Leila: No, I hold up my hand for fist bump. Yeah, every time. So
handshake.
David: Snail. Yeah. So there's this thing, when somebody holds
up their fist for a fist bump, you cover it with your open
hand. And like, like it's a snail like that's the slogan
awkward to write. But no, handshakes are important.
Because when it the firm handshake thing, right? A lot of
people are like, Why don't have to have a firm handshake. And
it's kind of a it's a respect thing. It's like I I took the
time to learn how to do a proper handshake. So that I would
appear confident and
Leila: I did to be respectful. so self conscious of it every
single time. Well,
David: we can work on it. I can teach you how to do a good,
Leila: good, you good here.
David: Hold on. Okay, okay, let's handshake. Yeah, that's
good. You're way too many pumps? No, it's 123. And then, and then
you slide. And then you slide the hook, hook the fingers and
then your thumb war.
Leila: That's what I started doing when people
David: when you dab people up, what is that? Oh my gosh,
Leila: that is? No. Your hand.
David: Okay. Okay, so that's no, that's the Give me some skin.
Oh, really? Yeah. Okay, give me some skin and then you catch the
catch the fingers. And then there's the thumb war. Somewhere
is always important. crossing your arms is a sign of
defensiveness or disapproval. It can really cross my arms. It can
also be a way of self soothing, like you're giving yourself a
little hug. I cross my arms when I'm when I'm hot. I never
because I feel like I'm sweating. And I'm going to have
pit stains.
Leila: I always leave or put my arms on my sides or like put
them on. But yeah, I crossed
David: my arms because also that like my, my arm. Whatever arm is
closest to other people. I put the other fist underneath that
arm and it pushes out my bicep a little bit and makes it look
like I'm stronger than I am. So
Leila: like, I never really am not carrying anything. Yeah,
that's true. You're always carrying I'm always at school
when I'm carrying.
David: You've always got something to do with your hands.
Yeah. Look what I can do with my hands. Man. Look what Leila can
do with her hands. Yeah, exactly. Bob's
Leila: Burgers all day all day every day.
David: So I think I think well, I'm fiddling with the with the
faders on the road caster I shouldn't do that while we're
talking. So I think we're gonna get to that now. So I think that
that's good. For the facts about body language if you have any
cool body language facts cinnamon male FunFactFriday.com
or Fun Fact Friday one on Twitter or water. Fun Fact
Friday at social dot meters media.com on Mastodon or your
other Fetty verse fediverse, the federated universe fediverse
It's a whole thing. Don't worry about it. People who no no, no.
So we're gonna go ahead and move to the value for value segment
that we teased earlier value for value means we put the show out
for free. We do the show for free. We have a good time doing
it and we hope it provides you some kinda value either
information or entertainment or hate. Listen, like maybe we're
Leila: pleased. We love hate listens.
David: If you're if you're listening to the show because
you hate us. Yeah, we need to be for somebody. If you're a
podcaster, and you want to start a beef online, we can totally
talk.
Leila: I'm actually having one of my friends on. And I want him
to start fake beef. Yeah,
David: beef is good for you. Because people take sides and
then like, people start yelling at each other. It's fun, because
he was
Leila: like, I'm gonna get y'all canceled. And I was like, good.
David: So anywho, we put it out there for free. If you get value
out of it, consider getting getting the value back one of
the best ways you can do the value for value that's doesn't
cost you a penny. tell somebody about the show? Yes. Let
somebody know be like, Hey, have you have you heard Fun Fact
Friday, something heard the word in their in their catalogue is
for you go back and listen to all this. All the shows,
whichever shows seem interesting from the title. But yeah, spread
the word about the show. If you've got a following on social
media, you know, tag us if we're there, we actually have a
Facebook fan page. Now, you can go look for that if you're on
the book of faces. And yeah, spread the word for us. We also
ask for value and music, art, help out with the chapters.
Anything you want to add to the show, let us know. And we can
talk if you want to collaborate and come on the show or we come
on your show, whatever. Yeah. And another way is treasure. If
you get get value from the show and want to give us back and
monetary ways. You can boost using a modern podcast app that
has the value tag enabled so you can send us tiny little bits of
Bitcoin called Satoshis. And that has happened this week.
Cameron, Cameron Cameron, send us a message a booster gram 1234
sets that's 1234 Satoshis. And it says, actually, it's a note
to Leila so. Oh, do you have it? Oh, yeah.
Leila: Do you want to read it? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so note to
you. It says tale.
David: That's not all part of it. She's gonna start in a
moment. She's just getting ready.
Leila: Tell your dad to take a chill pill. And in parentheses
when He's peeking the meter.
David: Do you know what Take a chill pill? Yes. Okay.
Leila: Oh my gosh,
David: it was the 90s episode. That was a big thing in the 90s.
It was a huge thing in the 90s. I say take a chill pill, take a
chill pill.
Leila: But that was mainly to my friends. Right? Because my
friends need to take jobos
David: Cameron runs the IPFS podcasting dotnet which is the
interplanetary file system. Cameron, I recorded something
that Leila created. Not appropriate for the show. But
I've recorded something for you. I'll get it. I'll get it to you
shortly. It's pretty funny. Anybody else who wants to hear
that she did not decide to follow us into it or not?
Anybody else please. So yeah, that thank you, Cameron.
Appreciate that. Interplanetary file system. Podcasting is
awesome. It keeps us up and running without having to pay
for hosting. We just get a little split. We give a little
split to anybody who hosts the episode to the through the
Satoshis. So did you have a rant?
Leila: I do. Leila rent. Oh, foil. Okay. So math. You know
what it is? Right? You know what? You love it?
David: I'm aware of math.
Leila: Do you love it?
David: I like math. I'm not a nerd. I'm
Leila: a cool guy. Ah. Okay. So foil. You know, when you have to
like do the exponent inching?
David: I'm aware of exponent thing. Yeah.
Leila: Okay. So when you got parentheses, and it's like, X
know, like, like, like 3x plus 20. Okay. And then in
parentheses to the second power. Uh huh. You got to do a whole
bunch of work. Uh huh. You got to do a whole bunch of work.
Okay, so FOIL stands for First. Outer, Inner last. Uh huh. So if
you got Hold on, let me write this. What did I say? First? No.
2x plus 22x plus 20. Inside the parenthesis inside parentheses
to the second power. Oh, doesn't do exponent. Okay. So
David: well, it's one note. Not a Wolfram Alpha.
Leila: You got to do 2x times two. Okay, you got to do it, but
times itself. Anyways. It's a whole bunch of work. Ah, did you
get like a trinomial?
David: Uh huh. That's math. You got it out of
Leila: it. So no, Going back work that they've taught us. It
feels like this isn't how we used to do it. It's right. It's
it's a whole different answers a whole different, but
David: you have to do it. There has to be a unified way of doing
things.
Leila: Yes, I know. So why is it dumb? Because
David: it's a building block that builds to something else
later. I can't wait. Here's a graphic a year, a year from now,
two years from now, you're going to look back and that's why foil
is important.
Leila: I know I am. I know I am. No, this is going to happen.
They
David: should give you a date. They should be like, they should
be like, Okay, so in algebra two in high school, all of this is
going to make sense they should give you like,
Leila: Okay, we had a whole like semester where we were only
learning stuff that would be valuable in calculus.
David: Yeah, you got to, you got to have it in your head, that
this is going to be important later. Why,
Leila: man? Because why do I have to memorize the formula for
distance? Formula? Formula? Is it for this once you've
David: memorized it, and it's part of your brain? It just
happens. It's like when HTML
Leila: three months, right? And it goes away. It
David: doesn't though. It sticks in there. Oh, it's like when you
ask for help with this stuff. I have to sit there for a minute.
And really look at it and get my brain back into high school
mode. Yeah, so it's exactly it sticks with you. It just you
don't think it sticks with you know,
Leila: like, range and domain? Why
David: it's important. It will come and everything that you're
learning now comes into play.
Leila: Ever. Say the range and domain? Well,
David: Z, you're already you're already thinking about ways that
it would be important,
Leila: because that's a really bad example. If I ever
David: Oh, dang, everything you're learning has two parts
that are gonna come into
Leila: play. Do I care?
David: You don't have to care for mine. You just have to get
good grades. No,
Leila: honestly. I know. And in. Leila read Myers Briggs. Oh,
yeah. We
David: did a Myers Briggs test.
Leila: Yeah, we did. Like a couple of minutes ago. Yeah,
right. Right. Before we
David: came out here to the studio, I am the protagonist on
the main character. That's what the test told me. I can't
remember the the letters. But I'm an e, o n, f j, n e and f j
dash a, are your dash a M A dash a now it? I don't think it's
100%? Correct. It's 100%. Correct on my wife for whatever
she was. Because the like every little thing that it said, For
if you're not familiar with the Myers Briggs test, it's a
personality test. It asks you a long series of questions about
I'm uncomfortable in this situation, or I'm very
comfortable in this situation. And you either agree, disagree,
or somewhere in between? I made all of my friends do it. And
today, awesome. Depending on the answers to your questions, you
end up having certain types of personalities. And it's pretty
accurate. It's pretty accurate on. Like, if you're this type of
personality, then this is how you act in this kind of
situation. It's, you know, and not none of this stuff is 100%.
Of course, usually, but it's pretty dead on. I think it's
pretty down. One in 10 things that said about me were
completely wrong. Like, I can't remember any examples, but it
was pretty neat. So you were empathetic, right? It was saying
I was empathetic. And I'm, I'm just not you're just you're all
right. I can be there. I can understand things. But the
feelings. I don't know, I can understand that somebody is
feeling a certain way. And I know how to act when somebody is
feeling that way. But I don't like pull that feeling into
myself.
Leila: So I am an ESF J. Okay.
David: So what does that what? Extroverted?
Leila: I'm observant. I'm feeling and I'm judging. Oh,
there
David: you go. Yeah. Here's this pretty accurate to what you said
from the site thing. And it's not like, like a horoscope where
the thing that it says is so vague, that it kind of applies
to everybody.
Leila: It actually has questions that applied to the answers and
stuff. Right.
David: And it has questions like your and again, yourself
answering the questions. It's not somebody else answering the
questions about you. So Taylor's
Leila: as FJ, apparently. Oh, yeah. According to this Oh,
yeah. According to this.
David: Oh, Taylor. So
Leila: you're gonna regret that? I don't know. There's probably
some Taylor Swift listeners out there. Hey,
David: if you're a Taylor Swift Fan, like I say, I say this all
the time when I'm talking to people and they bring up the
dead like something that's not popular like we are only on this
planet for a limited amount of time. Right you if you like
Taylor Swift me use like, listen to Taylor Swift music if you
like drinking diet root beer, drink diet root beer, if you you
know, don't don't let other people tell you what to like or
dislike as long as, as long as it's the attitude. As long as
it's not something that hurts somebody else. You know what I
mean? So, oh, no, what did you do Cash App has updated their
terms. Oh,
Leila: no danger. We're not gonna get money anymore.
David: Like money though. But yeah, I think that's about it.
Yeah, value, the value for value segment. I had one more rant
wanted to say for in case I didn't actually say thank you.
