Leila: Hello, welcome to Fun Fact Friday. Good news, I guess.
David: Mine sister news. It's interesting. It's not like a
uplifting, wonderful good news story. But
Leila: selenia. In Pennsylvania, an entrepreneur left her six
figure engineering job to volunteer at a mechanic shops
around her area to learn how to fix cars. She founded the girls
auto clinic when she was finished. Now the girls auto
clinic it was like kind of just like a you know, it's a
David: you know, you're a professional podcaster
Leila: Yeah, it's just not a repair shop. But it's run by all
women. All right, and they they offer mani pedi ease while
waiting for their car. That's
David: Z that's entrepreneurship right now. It's like money. It's
like, oh, you can you can combine lots of things where you
have to wait with other things that something is actively
happening like you could make a carwash and it could be like
wings and wash like you While your car is getting washed and
detailed, you go get some wings, right? Yeah pretty pretty good
business opportunity. And as you know from Breaking Bad you can
launder money through a carwash but we're not gonna
Leila: go I'm gonna go into that. Because Breaking Bad don't
watch it kids. It's not doesn't exist
David: not a kid
Leila: shows no show.
David: So my good news too are you down here? Yeah, okay, I
felt like so my good news story is about Barbie dolls. Because
you know, why not? Is your Barbie doll

let's see Shania Twain's in there she is weighing. Oh my
goodness. She's a country music artist from Canada. What that
didn't know that. I know. I know. The volumes are all weird.

Doctor Who, at one point, it was like one of the Christmas

Christmas special. But they were on a cruise ship crew in space.
Nice, because, you know, Doctor Who many ways I thought it was
neat that they were there. Yeah, you got some good role models
for girls. And not like, you know, just standard astronaut or
president is actually like people I thought it was I feel
like it's kind of risky to to make goals of people that are
still living for your highly successful dollar line. Just
because people can change over time and might not be a good
ambassador for your brand in the future. But it is what it is.
You know. It's neat. But yeah, and this concludes Fun Fact
Friday new so now that we've turned that off,
Leila: you know really gets my god we can play. Yeah.

your sewing machine?
Leila: I like a sink. I like a good sink.
David: Oh yeah. Good sink. We're gonna replace your sink. Our
sink is not a good sink. Like a real nice deep one. With like,
no divider in the middle. So you've got all this space to
work
Leila: with. Things are really easy to draw.

pause it or not?
Leila: Exactly. Or we just were quiet. You don't even know.
Right?
David: Go go go.
Leila: I've been drawn sinks on stuff for a little while. Why
have you been trying
David: this wrong?
Leila: Like washing machines.
David: All fabric related items, right? No? Yeah, like are you
mean like dishwashers? Both.
Leila: All right, this one
David: right I was not as good as washing machine drying
Leila: machines blast. Washing machines. Yeah. So
David: how about bread tags? No, the little plastic tags?
Leila: Can we make a tear list for all the things talked about
today? I'm gonna keep track of in my head, that's fine. So tags
are gonna go to the solid D,
David: when you when you get bread from from from the store
where you buy bread. It has those little plastic tags that
hold it closed that we always throw away immediately because
they'll get in your foot because we do we at our house. When we
get bread, we twist it and fold it under.
Leila: We take the Okay, once you eat the bread out, like eat
the bread. And then you take it you take the top of the bread.
Yeah, you're right. Like so opening. You take and you
squeeze the air out, but not not enough to just get just enough
to there. And then you take the bread and he's spin spin, spin,
spin, spin. And then And then sometimes you don't put it
underneath. Yeah,
David: but you should still you should you should fold it over
and use the weight as a bread to hold it close. I don't like a
croute on. Stale bread is a crude
Leila: that's controlled stale bread but the
David: little the little squarish. Plastic tags,
depending on the color means what day that the bread was
baked. So blue is Monday. Green is Tuesday. Red is Thursday.
White is Friday. Yellow is Saturday. Yeah, now everybody's
committed that to memory. Right? There will be a quiz at the end.
Leila: There will be a quiz at the end of this episode. Bread
tags solid D. Crackers, crackers. Yeah, they have holes
for a reason. And I thought that this was like common knowledge.
Well, why do they have holes? For steam to escape?
David: Why would you need steam to escape? You're making a
Leila: cracker you're cooking it? You're making a cracker?
David: Oh, for the baking process baking process. Gotcha.
Yeah. I Yeah. Because it's like if it didn't happen when I when
I take a tortilla and I put it in the oil to make a soap up.
Yeah. I have to I have to like constantly fight bubbles.
Because it wants to wants to blow up into a bubble bowl.
Yeah, we can do that. Don't me next time. I won't I won't let
it bubble. My fear is is you know it's on. It's in. hot hot
oil. Yeah. My fear is that it's gonna burst and spray hot oil in
my face. Yeah. I'll put a I'll put a face mask on. And we'll
we'll do some some Sopia bubbles.
Leila: What are we rate crackers? That's, uh,
David: do you like do you like, I don't like crackers. Do you?
Like just regular saltines? Like regular salty like, or do you
like the Ritz doesn't depend on what you're doing? Right. Let's
let's let's break it down. Okay, let's cracker talk. Let's go.
Yeah, square regular saltines. I like with my chili or with my
soup. Okay, most other applications of crackers. I want
a rich style. don't necessarily want the brand. Just that kind
of buttered. Brownish, round cookie. Cracker. Oh my gosh.
That's That's what I like for like peanut butter.
Leila: Oh, hungry today. It at dismissal. When I was waiting
for my bus to get here. Me and a couple other friends. Were just
eating a pack of Ritz crackers. Yeah. Not sponsored. Good snack.
It's an okay snack. I was gonna eat her orange but the orange
she literally dropped earlier. So it had a huge brown spot. Oh,
no, no, thanks.
David: Speaking of oranges, how about tomatoes? No, sorry,
strawberries. You know the sewing strawberry. I always
thought it was a tomato. But I guess it's tomato with a little
strawberry. Strawberry. Okay. Did you know that? It's an emery
board. It has Emery sand in it. It's not an emery board, but it
has Emory Santa. So it sharpens and polishes your needles as you
put it in there. I did not know that. So cool. I didn't know
that. So the little red thing that you stick your needles in I
always thought it was just like keeping you from stabbing
yourself with a needle by safely storing them with the pointy end
inside the tomato thing. But it actually helps polish and
Leila: sneak. That was neat, but I don't put my pens in a pen
question. I need to I need a pin cushion. My birthday is coming
to her birthday is coming. I have to have a plane pin
cushion. I have like 20 plane pin cushions. I just don't use
them. I have a little ramekin.
David: You've got lots of pin cushion items. You've got all
those stuffed animals too. But those Do you know what Kleenex
tissues were invented for?
Leila: Me? Just you? Yeah, I've
David: been using them so sorry. Hang it. My bad name on them.
They were used. They were invented for gas masks. During
World War One, like, there was a cotton shortage because you
know, the war, and they made the thin tissues then Kleenex is and
you would put them inside your gas mask as a filter. Oh, all
right. Pretty good. I found the site I'm on his family
handyman.com I think it's a Reader's Digest owned site, just
because of indicators on the site. Do you know what the
indent on a bottom on a bottle of wine is on the bottom?
Leila: for inflation, it's,
David: yeah, you get less and less wine every time inflation.
No wine is is sold by the milliliter. So it's right, the
bottle would just be wider or whatever. But it's called a punt
pu NT. And it makes the bottle stronger. Because when they're
fresher, pushing the cork in, it creates pressure and you can't
have a weak bottle for that. And then it also gives the server
something to put their thumb in while they're pouring to give
them a little bit extra grip. That's what the site says. Just
hold hold one bow. Do you know why there's a bump on F and J on
your keyboard?
Leila: For your fingers? Your home row keys? Yeah. Which I
don't use?
David: Five, no home row crew. I've no, there's no way. I guess
I'm I've been using a computer since I was like five. And I
cannot I just still can't do it. Yeah,
Leila: like how you can type. You just type. I just type. Who
cares about my fingers go into the right keys. And all right.
All right. You're right.
David: Sure. Right. Sure. Right. Exactly. Okay, so do you have
any? Do you have any good ones? Have you found any good ones? Or
do you want me to read another one? Because this one applies to
me. I've done it before more
Leila: people have cell phones and toilets?
David: Well, just in our household, we have more so than
toilets.
Leila: You know, okay, we've heard about water. In science.
We've Oh, that's a word because I don't remember talking about
water in science. They say that the most water you use in a
household is the water using your toilet? And I believe it.
I'm just like, really? I don't think because I don't think I
do. I think I shower. Like I take one hour showers.
David: We have a huge water heater.
Leila: We have a humongous over she uses the whole thing.
David: Even leave it on like super hot so
Leila: I keep it at lukewarm. I don't take hot showers.
David: Oh my gosh. I like it when it's scalding hot.
Leila: I know you love it. Which is why we can never take showers
in the same like six hours. Because I'll take one
David: either early in the morning, but I have to tell them
if I take it early in the morning because I need to take
one too. Yeah, it's very if Leila could take a reasonable
length. Shower never I never originally, like showering. We
could all all three of us could easily shower and the time that
it takes for the water to run out. But nope, nope. No.
Leila: I gotta take my sweet time. She does duct tape, listen
to music or anything. I'm just another sign.
David: We just got a really good deal on some Altec Lansing
Bluetooth waterproof speakers. So we have a shower speaker now
so I can listen to podcasts in the shower. Nice.
Leila: Sounds great. Elaine, who listens to podcasts anymore? All
right.
David: bunch of nerds. Yeah, you're right. Anyways, we taught
we don't ever have enough downtime in our speech to play.
Leila: warts. Oh, yeah.
David: Did you know that duct tape can kill eliminate warts?
Did you? Did you know that you can put duct tape on a wart and
it's actually more more effective than freezing the word
off? Oh, all right. I've done that before. I had a wart on my
hand. And I put duct tape on and it went away. I
Leila: was in class today. And Parker got his hand hurt. And he
went to go ask for a band aid and he got he got a normal band
aid but it came off in the next class. So we asked the other
teacher for a band aid and she was like I don't have that many
mandates. It's like three inches wide. Like five inches length
and tiny little.on his cannon and he has a cover up. We just
had a comically large band. We
David: had we were doing some are grilling out one time and I
cut my thumb really bad on something. I probably should
have went and got a tetanus shot but I ended up being fine. But
we didn't have any band aid This is a long time ago, we didn't
have a fully stocked first aid kit like we do now. So I had to
make something. So we took to some paper towel and wrapped it
around my thumb, and then wrapped electrical tape around
the whole thing. No, that's a mandate. If all of the all of
the parts of it came out of a toolbox Oh, wow. gala
Leila: gasoline contains 31,000 calorie.
David: Yeah, so if you're going on a on a 2000 calorie a day
diet, so you can
Leila: if you're trying to get lean and buff, don't drink
gasoline.
David: I'm gonna go ahead and say for legal reasons don't
drink gasoline in no circumstance. I've had gasoline
in my mouth. And it's really gross. I love
Leila: the smell of gasoline. I really think I would want to you
don't?
David: I don't know. It hurts my brain. It gives me a headache.
So do you know how, like I had to siphon gas out of a tank one
time to put it into another tank?
Leila: Besides, like the smell of gasoline? Yeah,
David: it's not a good smell. It's really bad to be breathing
that in.
Leila: Don't breathe and gasoline guys.
David: But no. All right. Do you know how to siphon gas?
Leila: Somewhat?
David: I know how to siphon siphon them works. Okay, so
Well, we never had like one of those little siphon pumps or
anything. We had to just like water hose and like, oh, yeah,
you just
Leila: forgot your mouth. Right?
David: So it's like, but I think a lot of people, a lot of people
have had at least some gasoline in their mouth at some point.
Did you know the waffle iron inspired the first pair of Nike
shoes? Oh, yeah. Didn't When did you hear that? I never heard
that before.
Leila: I'm lying. Oh yeah, you're right. Liar. If I ever
lied, the first
David: stroller made for babies. was pulled by a goat. Oh, all
right. Oh, well. It's one of the most interesting facts that had
us scratching our heads. Or a dog or a miniature horse, but
not by parents. What?
Leila: So hey, where are the monkeys? What are a donkey round
David: or a miniature horse but not by parents? I don't
understand that. What are you?
Leila: What are you trying to read? Okay, so one of the one of
the many, many. One of the many interesting facts that had us
scratching our head, or a dog or a miniature horse, but not many
parents,
David: but not by parents. What
Leila: are the first three with the third Duke in the Devon
Shire? The 1733 By the mid 18th century, strollers were pretty
unstable, but they had handlers, not parents. So parents, not
animals could pull the baby behind them. I'm really bad at
reading
David: my message from our Dasher who was our food. I don't
know.
Leila: Okay, so hey, hey, we're the monkeys. People say we
monkey around but we're too busy singing to put anybody down. You
know the monkeys, right?
David: I'm aware of the monkeys. Yes. So
Leila: Mike Nesmith. Okay, Nesmith. Okay of the monkeys?
Yeah, yeah.
David: Mm hmm.
Leila: What? Hold on. What's this?
David: I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this sentence in
this in this son
Leila: of unsung adventure. While Betty Nesmith, her name is
while Oh no, her name was Betty. Bye while Betina Smith was
working on IT executives thinking she began using white
tempera paint to cover up typing mistakes. I haven't even told
you what this is about. She made the white out

Leila: mom oh my goodness Smith made white out. Oh my god. Yeah,
it was funny. She received 47 point 5 million paycheck Miller
million dollar paycheck Hey, you know what I hate? Early gets my
goat when
David: the button doesn't push correctly.
Leila: And when they write the little dollar sign and the
number amount
David: what what I
Leila: Okay, I'm not great at reading so I forget to say
dollar sometimes. So when I'm like reading a thing for the
class or for the class, you know, like she received a 47
point 5 million paycheck. Don't say dollar after million. I
David: have always thought that the dollar signs should be after
I always thought that but
Leila: then it wouldn't be 97.5 dollar million paycheck. Right?
Or it would be she received $1.47 point 5 million paycheck
David: you wouldn't move the word no dollar
Leila: is the sign. Yeah, but that's stupid. I
David: mean it's standardized across the world for all types
of money so I get it.
Leila: Yes. So I get it yes it goes before
David: the number but I don't like it. You know what, what
else coffee pot you know what really gets my gosh when

Leila: You know, weight is the stuff that you use on the wood.
David: Yeah. To your shellac it you know, puts like a coating on
like Slack like a resin coating. When you're smacking someone you

gonna say the word it's secreted by female lack bugs in India and
Thailand. All right. It's yeah. All right, this one. I'm gonna
I'm gonna say it but I'm gonna give a little warning. Little
parental warning about this one. You got very young kids in the
cars.
Leila: Don't say that one. Don't say that one. Don't say that
one. Chainsaws
David: were not originally invented to cut through wood and
trees and stuff. They were invented as a medical device. I
think I just say that and that's okay. Yeah, that's horrifying
enough. But it's horrifying enough you can go to the family
handyman and read what what it was originally intended for
medical device. Oh my god. Spaghetti spoon hole. The
spaghetti spoon hole is the ultimate hack on the internet.
Like everybody tells me like like, nobody knows it. Go ahead.
Tell it to tell it to us. Like
Leila: you say it. If you know if you're so smart. You put the
David: hole in the spaghetti. The hole? Yeah. Yeah, you're
right. All right. I'm gonna move the road caster over the whole
spaghetti soon. Spaghetti Sassoon spacing is just the
right size for one serving of spaghetti. Dry spaghetti
noodles. Yeah, that's it. That's the whole thing. Everybody's
like, oh my god knows. I've heard it a million times. Of
course. Somebody the first time. Yeah. You know, literally a
million
Leila: literally a million. What was that? Well,
David: I don't know. Oh, it's
Leila: a plane. It's a bird. It's a plane.
David: Did you know In a deck of cards, yes. Only one king has a
mustache or only one king without a mustache. Oh, really?
He's the king of hearts.
Leila: He there. You're right. He
David: didn't feel the heat. He wanted to keep the mustache. He
wanted to be clean shaven. Wait a minute ball on top of the
stocking cap. I call it a beanie. Or a toboggan.
Leila: Oh, my gosh. What? Okay, I'm on the same website you're
on? Because I'm still in it. Because it's good. Yeah, I know.
Right. Good one. On the Heinz ketchup bottle. I'm not done
with no boat. No, you are so Paul. You are
David: all right. Go ahead. Well, you sound so defeated.
faded out. My mic is off.
Leila: Okay, so the 57 varieties on the tomato ketchup Heinz
bottle undefeated. But it's been. It's been a long week. So
it means that there's been 57 Other tries as a formula. Now,
the formula? What? Read the article. Suppose you were the 57
on the ketchup bottle just met how many people out? i Okay.
David: You skimmed it in a gotcha.
Leila: It's like in the math equation. We were trying to
factor something out. But you miss the negative sign and it
means you have to minus the whole thing instead of just one
number. Oh, wow. Means the other one. It the Heinz Company used
to emphasize 57 varieties of pickles. It's all it's all
greater than 60 products before adopting the slogan.
David: Okay. The 57 on the Heinz 57
Leila: for independent Lee of each other.
David: You're still skipping the article. You're
Leila: skipping Heinz pick To the numbers five and seven for
57 independently of each other handset five with his lucky
number and seven was his wife's lucky number.
David: And the other secret behind it is that the company
says that's where you're supposed to tap the job is agree
to get the ketchup to come out. How do you get the ketchup come
out telling
Leila: it like, yeah, it comes out. You tap on the bottom,
right, that's the right way to do it.
David: Aluminum foil,
Leila: aluminum foil. Oh yeah.
David: The box of the box of aluminum foil. Reynolds Wrap
specifically is pictured. But it doesn't necessarily have to be
that when I think all brands do this. They have these little
holes in the side that if you punch them in, it'll hold the
little Yeah, it's supposed to hold the little roll inside in
place and it does not your best bet is to go if you regularly
use aluminum foil, go get you a dowel that will fit inside the
thing and like put it in there and have it stick out a little
bit on each side because then the roll will actually stay in
the box or you
Unknown: just put a paper
David: piece of paper
Leila: where you could just hold the aluminum foil in the box
David: we we just take the aluminum out of the box and then
tear it where we know
Leila: we need to okay we're gonna start a petition on
change.org To get my parents to stop doing that.
David: Oh we're gonna we're gonna start doing that to get
each other to stop doing stuff because quite a few things to
stop do it like what? Like what leaving your shoes literally
everywhere?
Leila: Okay, I take them off because I'm tired and you just
go
David: all over the house wherever you're at
Leila: okay in the den mainly. Or right
David: next to where I sit at the dinner table so I tripped
over and when I stand up you should look
Leila: where you're standing up.
David: I shouldn't have to know you should. Because what if
there was
Leila: a murder snake? There was a murder sitting on
David: the floor next to the snake Oh my gosh. Oh boy. gets
my goat what gets your goat? You Me?
Leila: When you you? When

David: I figured I edited that day. I don't know what just
happened with my face. Words are just totally okay. A fork. The
fork was once considered immoral unhygenic and a tool of the
devil. It and in fact, there's pitchforks. The the word fork is
derived from the Latin for call, which means pitchfork. The first
dining forks were used by the ruling middle class and by the
ruling class in the Middle East in the Byzantine Empire in 1000.
For the year 1004. Maria Agra Paulina, agro Paulina, niece of
Byzantine emperors, Basil the second and Constantine the
eighth, was married to the son of the doge of Venice, the dosha
those are
Leila: visits to Venice to the moon. She
David: she brought with her a little case of two pronged
golden forks, which she used at her wedding feast Venetians were
shocked And when Maria died three years later of the plague,
oh my gosh. St. Peter Damien proclaimed it was God's
punishment for the forhow for using a fork three years ago.
And with that St. Peter Damien closed the book on the fork in
Europe for the next 400 years. Oh my gosh. That's amazing. Oh,
okay, so the chopstick predates the fork by about 4500 years.
Yes. Because it's sticks. sticks have been around a lot longer
than forks. Yeah, that's so funny. All right. So I think Do
