David: Here we are again.
Leila: Second try. Here we are, again.
David: Sometimes on a podcast, when you start rolling,
something goes wrong yoke. And you got to start over. And
sometimes you're 10 seconds into the show. And sometimes
Leila: we tell you, and sometimes we don't. Yeah,
sometimes the secret, but this time, it's not.
David: We rarely restart 190 episodes, we've probably
restarted what 10 times, sometimes most of the time, it's
some technical issue. Like there's like a buzzing or
something like and weed or something like that. Sometimes
we'll get five minutes, 10 minutes into the episode, and
one of us is just like, Alright, we're done. We got to restart,
because one of us is like low energy, or, like, just
something's not clicking. But then we find our groove. I
restart and we restart with a better energy with and that's
what we're doing now. Yeah, because we're recording in the
morning and we almost never record in the morning. Yeah.
Leila: It's lunchtime right now, when neither of us have eaten
lunch. I
David: had a granola bar type thing. Where a granola it's like
a nut bar.
Leila: I had a couple of chips and a piece of Hershey
David: There you go. There we go. That's my lunch lunch of
chocolate.
champions. Right? Absolutely. Hi, Fi Leila is going to see a
movie. Here in a little bit. Yeah, I may or may not be
staying to see the movie as well. It's called Inside Out to
write out inside to out inside to Yes, yeah. By by that company
that we don't typically like to support but yeah, all her
friends are going so anywho today, I found a snake in the
yard. And it was a cute little guy and a bit my foot like 10
times. It had no teeth. Yeah, there was just this this small
little rat snake. There's probably a foot foot and a half
long and I went to went to go to it was wiggling his tail real
fast like he had a rattle but he didn't and and then he He curled
is the part of ups like he's always gonna strike and like an
S getting that spring action ready. And I put my my, the sole
of my shoe down towards him. Not to step on him. And I mean all
those things. And he goes, like, starts just attacking the bottom
of my shoe relentlessly. And nothing is happening. And then
he calms down. He's like, alright, I can't I can't kill
this thing.
Leila: Like that when a lizard they got into the house, oh,
bite you so much. And then just kind of looked at you. I picked
up this
David: little lizard. And he was he was so mad. I picked him up.
And he just started. He just latched on to my finger and just
started like, oh, like he was gonna murder my finger. And
after about like, three or four really good bites on it, which
felt like nothing. Just turns his head and looks at me like,
I'm sorry, can you let me down? Oh, boy, I was fun. But yeah,
we're just doing random facts on this episode. We like to do
these every once in a while. And we find a good list. And we did
on parade.com, which will be in the show notes probably be the
only link unless we decide to link something that we you know,
just come across while we're in our, our studies here. It's what
we do here we study. Yeah, totally studying the world and
Leila: a really, really long studying all these facts making
sure they're true.
David: Yeah, making sure because we I mean, all of this research.
Leila: You have like 15 tabs open at a time for one fact.
Like
David: when you came in earlier, like you were ready to record I
didn't know you're coming out here to the studio and I had
like, four terminal windows open. I'm installing Proxmox,
which is a virtual machine came
Leila: out in there was stuff all over my laptop. Yeah.
Anything, a whole
David: computer sitting on top of her laptop with a command
line open on her screen. And well, but yeah, I'm just
installing Proxmox says, you know, virtualization software on
an old HP EliteDesk 800 G three, but it's got a quad core
processor. So I'm like, well, that's four processors, that's
four computers. And I've got like little small computers
running different processes around the house. And I was
like, I can get it on one machine and that'll save on
electricity. Save a lot of problems. So I'm going to put
like a pie hole on it. And just a a Windows machine. Just to
have an extra one for troubleshooting things, you
know, stuff like that. Hey, yeah, it's just a project I'm
working on. But you know, who knows when it'll get finished?
But but but Leila gets out here. I have to run back in for
something. She goes to open up her laptop bluescreen my. And
then she told me something funny about when she was here. So, so
Leila: on my laptop, I have a little Intel sticker like most
laptops do when you get them. And I got I had a memory like a
flashback, run through my head, like a flashbang. And in
elementary school, we had a computer lab and all the
computers had the little Intel sticker on him. And I remembered
that I used to be so terrified of these things peeling off or
accidentally peeling these things off, because I thought it
would ruin the computer. Because I thought like it was the
processor, right?
David: Like the company's like, hey, let's take the important
most important part of the computer. And let's put it on a
sticker. Stick it to our kids. Did you not look at the other
other laptops at school that didn't have the Intel sticker
because somebody ripped it off? Fine. Wow, really? We all
Leila: had this like same paranoia?
David: Wow. Yeah. That center interesting. Because like, Huh.
When I was in school, a million years ago, we had the computer
lab and oh my gosh, like nobody did anything wrong on those
computers, including Well, mostly including me till in high
school. Because we like we didn't want to mess him up.
Because we actually had to use computers at school is so cool.
So we were all like, treated them like they were super
fragile. And like, it was like that.
Leila: Yeah, I'm trying not to do anything weird like
computers, because like, if I most of our stuff is online, and
I have to do it all at home. Oh, yeah. That's all heater
privileges taken away.
David: Yeah. Yeah, they want you to log into all this stuff
installed on the computer. Yes. Like, why do you even have to go
to school? But then there's the social aspect of it. Yeah. Which
is, you know, can be important. If you don't have, like a church
family or something that you belong to? Yeah. Which we're
looking for a new church, we're gonna we're gonna kick around
town and see see what? What's going on there. So we are just
like, like I said, just doing random facts today. And we found
this parade.com site, and it's got a lot that I've never, never
heard. Yeah. And some that I have. And we may go over some
stuff we've talked about before, but my memory is not great.
We'll talk about that later when we get into the booster grams.
So I am going to start in the completely useless facts. Okay.
The world record for the most T shirts worn at one time. Is 260.
I could be that priest. Do you know how heavy that would get?
Yeah. Okay, like 260 words, average weight.
Leila: I feel like that's what like British people think that
our measurements are T shirts. T shirts.
David: Okay, so let's say 5.5 ounces, or five, five ounces is
the average. So 260 times five. That's going to be 1300 ounces.
So 1300 divided by 16. That's 81 pounds of T shirts. Whoa. And
you know the once you reach like four XL, you know it's gonna get
more heavier per shirt. So I'm not even gonna do the math on
it, but it's gonna be at least 81 pounds worth of T shirts.
Leila: What if he was just like laying down now pile them on top
of him.
David: I think you have to be wearing them. I don't think it
would count if that counts is wearing. No doesn't. Are you
wearing a blanket? Yes. All right, I guess whatever.
Leila: So Finland has the most heavy metal bands per capita,
per capita, per per? Per reCAPTCHA.
David: Stolen stallion joke.
Leila: You're so funny.
David: Ah, that's a throwback to last time. I'm sure you think
that. You know what I think?
Leila: What do you think?
David: A Jiffy is about 1,000,000,000,000th of a second.
Leila: Are you thinking Miku Miku?
David: You know, I was not. But that reminds me I got an email
from limited run games. This is not an advertisement. Y'all
don't do that. They gotta Miku game. It's a what do they call
it? Like a Wii U is a logic puzzle. Where there's numbers on
the left and the right and there's a grid. And
Leila: pick pick cross. Yeah, it's
David: like pick Cross, which I think is a namebrand also, but
there's a Miku pick cross which Oh, surely we'll be excited
about and very excited. It's come is I think it's on the
store anyway for switch but it's coming. They're doing a physical
release. That's, you know, I like physical releases because
of things. Like you know, you never know the internet's gonna
go down and you can't use your games. You know? That you've
purchased it. Anyway. So yeah, a jiffy is about
1,000,000,000,000th of a second. So when you say I'll be back in
a jiffy,
Leila: you know what clicked in my mind what? You know, when you
say like, Oh, that was eons ago? Uh huh. You actually mean like
eons? Yeah. What?
David: What did you? I didn't know what an eon was,
Leila: until this year.
David: You didn't know that was an actual
Leila: geological timescale. And I was like, Oh, I said that. I
was like, when you say, that was eons ago, you actually mean eons
ago, and my teacher was like, Hall, and my whole class was
like, Hall. So apparently, I'm the only one that like, uses
that or knows of that.
David: And I'm mad about a little bit a little bit when you
when something clicks in your head, your face. We
Leila: need to start saying that was epics ago. Or that was eras
ago. epoch.
David: Epic is is like a fail. That's what my
Leila: my science teacher would say epic. And it made me so mad
instead of epoch. epoch.
David: Oh, I thought you were gonna rant but it didn't. didn't
reach the level of rant
Leila: about a person right? Don't want beef. Paper.
David: Some people pronounce things incorrectly and we just
have to be we have to be okay with it. Like a lot of see
people will in our area. See people a lot of well, I was
gonna say something else but a lot of people. They pronounce
the word pecan. Pecan. And you're wrong in our area. And
anybody in the people who call it P can. I've looked it up.
Both are technically correct, but one can mix them up. We need
to start doing when there's multiple different
pronunciations of word we need to mix the pronunciations if
they're multiple syllables. Speaking of syllables. Did you
know The main is the only state whose name only has one
syllable? No. And did you know that the number 12 is the last
number. If you're counting incrementally, that's only one
syllable. So
Leila: I want to double. No. Okay, look, no, no, no, no, no,
because I've done this before, because I've heard that from you
before. And I tested it out. And I was like 12345677 I
David: calmed down. What not? What was the fact that I said I
said 12 is the last. That is on only one syllable. I didn't say
everything under 12. Yes, I wasn't saying all of the ones
under it have one syllable because you left then the has,
like 700 syllable. Okay. Okay, no, it's and 12 is how many
times you shake your hands when you're trying to get the water
off of them. It's a good amount of times to shake your hands
before you start using the paper towel in the bathroom. You shake
your hands 12 times
Leila: because you you syllable when you're shaking your hands.
I
David: don't syllable I'm shaking my hands.
Leila: I don't even shake my hands. Do you?
David: Don't you just go straight to the paper towel? No.
Okay, I
Leila: wash my hands. Okay, good solid like two minutes. And then
I take the water and I do like this with my hands. And I walk
over to the trashcan
David: What are you doing with it? Oh, you're doing the
tarantula whom you are hanging
Leila: down hands. It's like my fingers curled up. And then I
walk over and like hold them all the way away from me and walk
over to the trashcan and then just like into the trash can and
grab a grab a paper towel and wipe off my hands. Yeah,
David: that's how many times do you flick your fingers
Leila: 12345
David: Hey, you should shake a few times don't shaking. So then
once you get once you get the paper towel or paper towels Once
you grab no you can do it with one. If you grab one paper towel
and you only use half of it to get most of the water off. It's
browning the other half to get
Leila: the towels they don't do anything you got to use three
David: okay in most advertisements,
Leila: the patent pending Leila way to wash your hands here it
is folks to wash your hands regularly. Like you wash your
hands preferably with two pumps of soap. And then to Yes,
David: No wonder I'm always having to buy you and so because
I'm a very clean
Leila: I'm a very clean and you got to you got to wash them off.
You got to wash off your wrists too. And then you walk over with
your hands preferably like all stretched out and like the
transload position. Walk over to the trash can. If it's by it
should be by the paper towel rack thing if you're in a public
space
David: Oh,
Leila: okay, he's gonna be okay,
David: we're back. My computer just went to sleep because I
haven't touched it in a bit.
Leila: Yeah, but it did a weird thing. Well, Bob. So in the
transfer position, you flick off your hands, like three to five
times into the trashcan, grab two or three, preferably three.
But if used to if you don't want to be that wasteful, and dry off
your hands, and then open the door with a paper towel and
throw it away, and then run, because you don't have that much
time to go out the door.
David: Well, there you go, folks. And as patent pending, so
you can you can take that process and go try and make
money off of it.
Leila: Yeah, don't make money off of it. Don't sell it.
David: Wait a minute, that is so stupid, nothing to do with what
you were just saying. Number 131. The movie trailers were
originally shown at the end of movies, hence the name trailer.
They were moved to the beginning because most of the audience
just left after the feature.
Leila: It's called a trailer. Yeah. trails on
David: a movie that makes so much more sense. So I used to
Okay, what did I think it's like, Who's that guy on YouTube
that puts the ads at the end? Do
Leila: good and drew good. And I think he's changed that, too.
Right. But he used to, but like,
David: that's the way to do it. It's like, all right, you watch
my entire video. Now, here's the ad I'm legally obligated to give
to you to get some money, but you can leave if you want. Yeah.
Leila: Oh, wow. Drew's awesome.
David: So talking about keep jumping into the facts. And
you're just kind of you're just chit chatting. Yeah. One facts
and I think I'm good with that. So how many dimples do you think
are on a golf ball? I'm probably about like, 30 336. Yeah, it was
close. That's regulation.
Leila: Regulation.
David: So did you know that the guys on Mythbusters wanted to
find out how much the dimples on a golf ball reduced drag on a
larger scale. So they took a car and they covered it and clay so
added a lot of weight to the car. Yeah. And then they cut
dimples into the clay on the entire car in the car. Because
that would be it would be cutting holes in it would create
more drag. Because you'd have holes through the metal and then
that would create pockets to catch the stuff. But anyway, so
they put it on the car and I think I want to say it improved
gas mileage by 10 to 11%. So folks, if you want to save 10 to
11% on gas money, cover your car and clay and put dimples in it.
Like big dimples. They were like, proportionally the same
size car a whole bunch of cars. Yeah, put speed holes like The
Simpsons. He took a pickaxe and put speed holes in his car.
Simpsons. So did you know that Barbie and Ken broke up? Nope.
2004 Six years. Seven years later, they got back together.
They were broke up for seven years. Wow. There you go.
Leila: So there you go. dragon flies have six legs, but can't
walk. Let that sink in.
David: Wait a minute. What? I'm I'm trying to remember if I've
never seen a dragonfly walk. Me Yeah, cuz they can't walk. What
else? Things that aren't happening. Am I not noticing?
Leila: I love the way you said that. What else things aren't
there happening? That I didn't. Oh, there's a huge spider coming
down for me.
David: Oh, no. Where?
Leila: I don't say here.
David: I don't say. Oh my gosh. That is not huge. Okay. Yeah,
but that is the tiniest little spider. The tiniest
Leila: little spiders can pack the biggest biggest hole punch.
Okay. Okay, we live in the Carolina. Mountain Mama.
David: Oh, wow. Oh, no, I'm not saying that one. It involves
poo. Oh, this one doesn't one lick of a stamp results in the
consumption of 1/10 of a calorie. Oh, wow, you have to
look a whole lot of stats to get your sense
Leila: of a calorie. So without how many calories like 181 180
100
David: So what is it 2000 A day about? Let's go with 1800 a day.
Leila: Let's just go with 2000 Because that's like the basis if
your calorie doesn't deserve it, right? So times 10 Put another
year on it. 20,000. So you need 20,000 envelope, and that's like
licking all the envelope.
David: They don't even make lick stamps anymore. In America,
what's it like stamp Alic stamp. A stamp that you have to lick to
stick it onto the made those? Yeah, they all they all used to
be that? Just like envelopes that had the they still have
they saw the envelopes because we have something I don't like
it.
Leila: Sneak it tape. Just paramiko sticker on it. What I
did I have like a collection of Miku stickers that I use for
everything. You
David: should take those to the convention since you're dressing
up as me. Yeah. Anybody that complements your your costume.
You give them one of the stickers I am.
Leila: There you go. I'm saving a couple from me that I like.
And then I just have like a big old pack of just VOCALOID misc
stickers.
David: The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
Leila: I was still talking about me who I'm
David: tired of talking about Miko.
Leila: Yeah, you don't care. I care a lot. I care a lot about
today make you okay. It's estimated the Americans eat 505
billion hamburgers. Five 50 billion hamburgers
David: 50 billion hamburgers last year. What number is that?
Leila: 14. It's estimated that Americans eat 50 billion
hamburgers each year. So that's like all the Americans now do
you mean United States Americans?
David: There's no way we're eating 50 billion hamburgers a
year. Think about
Leila: how many Americans there are
David: American Americans consume
Leila: an average in United States America.
David: That's what I'm trying to look at. Leila was reading the
article said us adults. It says Americans consume an average of
2.4 Hamburgers per day. What what this makes?
Leila: get what I'm saying? I get what I'm saying. If you're
thinking about every American. Okay, I could eat zero
hamburgers. And I could have a friend that eats 50 billion
hamburgers a year. No 100 billion hamburgers a year and
we'd still equal out to 50 to $50 billion each year.
David: So it's to the average who point for burgers per day.
So there's somebody for every person that does need a burger.
There's somebody eating five hamburgers.
Unknown: Yes.
David: Okay, so this I'm not this. I'm digging and I'm
looking for. I'm looking for Okay, see, here's here's where
it gets. This is why I hate stats. Okay,
Leila: okay. I hate that so much. These are fake. And I hate
them. I hate them. It's so weird read. They never work. And you
can't have minted calculators without opening stupid stat
plot. Okay.
David: Here's what we got. They're talking about quarter
pounder burgers measured by weight. At 220 pounds per
person. Overall new consumption comes out at 222 person.
Equivalent 814 Okay, so they're counting a big burger like a
half pound burger from a restaurant like a real good half
pound burger as two burgers.
Leila: How do they know? And
David: then is this the number of actual burgers or the actual
hamburger meat because we put hamburger meat in our spaghetti.
Yeah, so if
Leila: you're counting a bun, lettuce, tomato cheese, sesame
seed. Meat. That's a burger.
David: Yeah. See, this is just talking about hamburger meat.
Leila: Yeah.
David: Yeah. So that now I've seen adults
Leila: and also what about okay, how do you know? How do you know
if I was eating a hamburger in the comfort of my own home? You
have a camera? No,
David: but they do know how much meat was sold.
Leila: Yeah, but that doesn't have to be a dry hamburger.
Right.
David: But they're going by how much hamburger meat is sold and
how much? How many sales of burgers that I think it's
propaganda. It's it's propaganda.
Leila: I think it's Papa Papa's freezeria.
David: I miss chi Labour's intergalactic boombox. He had a
guy on there named propaganda. He did. Yeah.
Leila: This is propaganda against us, us Americans.
David: I like hamburgers, though. If added together.
Humans spend about two weeks of their lifetimes kissing.
Kissing, so
Leila: what if you don't? It's fine. The fastest gust of wind
ever recorded on Earth was 253 mph. Wow.
David: 200 that is fast.
Leila: Yeah. Oh,
David: I didn't know this. And now what I think about it seems
seems very true. The only domesticated animal not
mentioned in the Bible is the cat. That's interesting.
Leila: BUSTA RHYMES. Oh,
David: no, no, don't let you tell about Busta Rhymes here in
a minute. Ravens blueberries. Ravens know when someone is
spying on them? Do they ravens are smart. I love ravens are so
are smart.
Leila: They're so cool. I like how it took me a second to
figure out that we were talking about ravens. Ravens are so
cool. Crows are so cool. Wait, which ones are the cool ones?
David: Bro ravens are like a kind of a type of crow. So I
thought so. But I like the way ravens look better because they
get that bump on their beak and then makes them look like they
like you can train, you can train crows to steal for you.
Like, that's why you're not allowed to have them as pets.
Because what was happening was people were getting a bunch of
crows and training them to find the money and count. Exactly
like how do you how do you enforce that? Find a pet? How do
you find a vegetable? Because if we'll go into the vegetable
thing here. So if I let's say I've got an apartment in the
city, right? And I'm training like there's this crow that
hangs out on my back porch because I've always got
something out to eat there for him. Is that a pet? When does it
become a pet? Like do you have to like take it to the vet and
get it like tagged as a pet? I don't I don't understand. But
like if you just got some crows that like hanging out on your on
your stoop, ya know?
Leila: How do they know? Right?
David: When does it become a pet? So I think I think this is
just one of those laws that they put on the books to like, make
the law abiding people be like, Oh, I'll get over CRO guess not
I'll get in trouble. Yeah. But you know, it's, uh, it is what
it is. Did you know that? It is what it is? Oh, tell about that.
Tell us about the island.
Leila: Oh, so there's an island somewhere. No worries. Hold on.
I Massachusetts is home to Busta Rhymes island. So there's an
island and Massachusetts would you say like 40 feet by 40 foot?
Yeah. And it's named Busta Rhymes island. There was this
dude that visited it and it was like, Yo, I think Busta Rhymes
really like it here. So we named it Busta Rhymes Island,
literally.
David: It's got a rope swing, and it's got blueberries and
he's like, I think Busta Rhymes would enjoy.
Leila: That's so funny to me.
David: I just get an image of Busta Rhymes. walking up to the
blueberry bush and somebody's like, putting the blueberries
into a basket. And there's give me some of that. Give me some mo
because he's already had, and he wants more. Oh my gosh,
Leila: we need to make a skit.
David: We love you. We love you
Leila: send him this formation. Yeah. So oh, let me find another
one.
David: There are some really good ones. Um,
Leila: how reindeer like to eat bananas.
David: How is that a fun fact?
Leila: And bananas is considered a berry. Whereas bananas Wait,
wait, wait, wait, there's
David: nowhere that reindeer live that bananas exists.
Leila: Okay, roll roll number 58 A bananas is considered a berry.
David: All right. So what's a vegetable?
Leila: So what's good I like the way this is worded. A bananas is
considered a very Oh could what is a vegetable because I was
thinking about the other day. And I'm thinking they got a chip
in my brain. Because I was thinking what's a vegetable I
don't think I've ever like considered something a
vegetable. It's always got something else to it. And then I
see a YouTube short like the next day and it's about how
vegetables don't exist. And I'm like they put a chip in my brain
to read my thoughts. They know what I'm thinking about.
David: Yeah, yeah. Okay, Quiznos vegetable.
Leila: Give me a vegetable.
David: I don't have any vegetables. Celery, I would
consider a vegetable. Patch to type of grass.
Leila: What is what is there?
David: Okay, so the word vegetable vegetables are parts
of plants that are consumed by humans and other animals is
food. The original meaning is still commonly used and is
applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant
matter including flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots and
seeds. An alternative definition of the term is applied somewhat
arbitrarily often by culinary and cultural tradition. It may
exclude foods derived from some plants that are fruits flowers
nuts cereal grains, but include savory fruits such as tomatoes
core gets what's a core get flowers and broccoli Oh score
get is like a zucchini or something. So okay,
Leila: they're a vegetable is an edible portion of a plant
there's no biological definition of a vegetable so anyone that
says that tomatoes are a fruit are correct, but anyone who says
they aren't vegetables is incorrect. So vegetable is a
concept so fruits or vegetable can't eat a concept. Fruits are
vegetables. Fruits are vegetables. The
David: United States government has a has a United
Leila: States government got a chip in my brain and now they
got vegetables as constantly
David: advertisers have a chip in your brain. It's this little
Intel sticker they stuck on the back. I can't peel it off. Okay,
so food pyramid
Let's not go let's not go negative you're going to so
negative lately food so the old food pyramid had bread cereal
rice and pasta groups and it had vegetable groups and fruit
groups but if fruits are vegetables does the
Leila: same thing that's why they got a line in between them.
They're trying to segregate them
David: but then you've got meat, two servings and like yogurt for
two servings. How much yogurt Are you supposed to? They redid
the yogurt and they redid the food pyramid recently I think
this
Leila: is my plate yeah my plate I hate it. So
David: new foods here propaganda from the government Washington
Post the.com which is taking for ever
Leila: vegetables and grains should be the biggest portion on
your plate which is wrong wrong and Shep dairy with every meal.
I'm lactose intolerant so How about them apples? Okay
David: Alright, let's get to some more facts.
Leila: This is a bad because propaganda. Okay,
David: the entire word about it. The word combined work of the
entire lives of 12 Bees accumulates to one single
teaspoon of honey. Wait. Well, that's I mean, yeah. Takes a lot
of bees to make some honey.
Leila: Well, according to our own laws of aviation, there's no
way I'd be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its

No, it is a combination of water, fat and salt mixed with

ones I knew. The fear of beards is Pogo on the phone via Pogo
and a phobia. Speaking of beards, I don't know how I don't
know where that's going. But how about some moves. This is a
value from a podcast, we put the show out for free, we're gonna
do not do ads, or take any corporate dollars. We do,
however, take money from you, our wonderful listeners, if you
get anything from the show, feel free to put a number on that and
send it back to us. We can't tell you what our show is worth
to you. If it's worth a buck every four or five months, virus
or bug every four or five months. If it's worth seven or
$800 an episode that would be acceptable also. Or if you just
want to help us out by sending us content in the form of
letters or boosts. Boost is money and a message. So it's
content and money. You can learn more about boosting check out
other episodes. We've talked about it a lot, but you can get
a new podcast app and send us Satoshis via booster grams and
send a message like Dr. Scott did. Wow. So I had a
communication with Dred Scott about last episode.
Leila: Uh huh. And what this event and
David: this message came from trip, Scott after a little
conversation, says 10,000 SATs from Dred Scott, thank you so
much for 10,000 SATs at Toyota Sienna 10,000 in there is
becoming more and more representing them. Sats are
worth more and more every day. Yeah. Like and I'm liking the
trajectory of the of the price on that. But it says from Dred
Scott who used the app caste thematic to send this moose from
my wife, Paisley imperfect. You can check her on YouTube Paisley
and perfect. Yeah, a mom of twins. In regards to clothes.
Leila: Some tells me this after we record, he's like, oh, you
know that Dred Scott has twins right.
David: So something to know. We dressed them in the same for a
couple of reasons. This is after Lilo's rant, my huge rant about
how I hate it. Number one, when they only have five minutes in
the store before one of them poops all upper back. It's way
faster to just grab two of everything and go 100% valid. I
was thinking about that when she was ranting number two, they
fight over everything. So if they don't match, it's a
constant battle of who's going to wear what nobody has patience
for that. And the rolling around laughing emoji. Thank you for
the 10,000 SATs. So on the second note, I have a thing with
my wife Phaedra where when we go to get something like cell phone
for example. We got different cell phones one time and while
hers had a couple of features that were better than mine, and
I was okay with that. Mine could do a couple of things hers
couldn't do and it ate away at her so from then on, anytime we
get something and we're both getting we're both getting one
about the same time. Almost every time we have to get the
same exact thing.
Leila: The same phone for forever yeah
David: last three phone upgrades we've done we've gotten the same
phone now this most recent one I went with the Pro. I went with
the Pro and she went with the regular because they didn't have
to have the pros are two of the regulars they had one Pro and
one regular the store and she was fine because the only
difference is my cameras the camera on the Pro is a little
bit better. It has a physical zoom and it has more memory, or
more harddrive space. But wait, everything we do on the show.
Unless we say, well listen, we're being serious. You know,
it's like a serious subject. Everything is ingest everything
is fun and our opinions
Leila: and don't take anything we say as fact, right?
David: Nothing on this show is meant and a mean spirit even
when we're ranting about something. Yeah. We believe and
live. It gets my gets my goat. Right. And but yeah, we're just
we just live and let live and you know, we enjoy getting poked
fun back at so
Leila: yeah. Okay, so that you'll have the same sense of
humor that we do about it. Exactly.
David: Everybody listening. We have a great listener base
couldn't ask for better fans. 1357 sets from Kevin Halsey.
This is for the episode twins. During the galling hiatus. The
hiatus was because of gallstones. I tried quote, hate
listening to the old shows. Phenomenal. David laughing at
everything especially as his only twin daughter. Which is
funny because she's always talking about being a twin right
only only, only child 20 Child twin. Only twin daughter walks
off cliffs steps on rakes and fearlessly cold reads poorly
written facts. Yes. Go back and listen. It's up to you. You do
what you want.
Leila: I don't have control over you. But if it was up to me, I
wouldn't have to delete them from the internet. Right?
Because we're much better at it now. Yeah, if you listened to
any of the older episodes, I'm fine with it, I guess. But just
remember that I was like 10.
David: Four years is a big difference between 10 and 14. So
it is. Meanwhile, this is still reading from the thing.
Meanwhile, master criminal Phaedrus schemes to take over
the world as her delightful family is distracted. I guess
that was like talking about how Shih
Leila: Tzu in the den. doing her own thing. So
David: much love joy and family fun. This could be the best
podcast in the universe.
Leila: Yeah, we are. I think we
David: congrats to Phaedra on her high score of gallstones 100
Plus, I added and took away little words just to make that
flow and make more sense. Yeah. And then just listening. Welcome
back. Three exclamation points.
Leila: So 709 SATs? Yeah. So
David: 189 SATs from fountain? I believe. I'm also missing teeth
and my wisdom teeth came in without me even noticing. So
yeah, you got people people got a butt teeth or teeth are pretty
easy to fix. That's scary. And then, right after that, the fist
bump just listening. 101 Yeah. 101 SATs from just listening.
Also modern medicine doesn't know Jack Welch. Okay, that's a
big exaggeration. But many really do like to talk and
perform surgeries and give drugs like they know everything and
time. And again, they're proven wrong. kids used to be given
Mercury for teething as recently as the mid 1900s. Wow. I'm glad
that they are good at putting people back together, though.
Yeah. I've, uh, I've met a lot of doctors. And I've worked with
some doctors. And some of them do kind of have, like, I know
everything. I'm a doctor attitude. And but I think the
majority of the ones that I've dealt with anyway, they're,
they're least trying to help people. Yeah. But sometimes they
do think that they know more than they actually know. And
they're not. But that's everybody. That's any any
profession. And I am extremely grateful for the ones that were
Phaedrus surgeon. I'm not gonna say his name. But he was he was
very passionate about what he did. Like when he came in, and
then like, he can to use the tools that he uses, like the
little tiny camera thing and the little grabby stuff. Like he was
when he was telling me about it. I was nerding out because I love
that kind of stuff. And but he he had a passion for what he
did. He wanted to help fix people, and he was excited about
it. So again, I'm just listening like you said, I'm glad that
they're good at putting people back together. And but yeah, so
we're definitely appreciate all the Satoshis and we're we're
loving that and having a good time with that. We appreciate
the notes. They don't have to be through boost. If you ever want
to send us a note you can get ahold of us at mail

that we have any more anything that you saw that you were like,
Oh my gosh, that I
Leila: was gonna say okay, Okay, on average 100 People choked to
death on ballpoint pen each year. That was the
David: 100 people, only
Leila: five people die from Shark attacks a year on average.
So we should be time since instead of
David: sharks 20 times more people, ballpoint pens and
sharks. Yes. 20 times and I'm
Leila: not saying that people don't get injured from sharks
all the time. I'm just saying, we should be more afraid of
ballpoint pens.
David: No, that's
Leila: okay, there's a spider crawling up. He's crawling off.
He's getting away. In data isn't being fast enough. He's getting
it eventually. Oh, we don't knock it over to your cup. Oh,

David: What do you do? It's very.
Leila: Oh, hey, okay, he's grabbing it. He grabbed it. He's
balling it all up. He's Oh, squeeze squeezing it really
good. So does and threw it in the trash can next to me. He
hurt his hand trying to squish the spider
David: the wrong way. How dare he. All right. There was a
little adventure for the end of the episode. Yeah, that was that
was cool too. sizable. Go ahead. And they're about the
Leila: same number of stars in the observe observable universe
as there are grains of sand and all of the earth beaches.
David: Yeah, that was that was on purpose. That's really cool.
I always liked this story. I think everybody my age has heard
of airlines saved $40,000 in 1987. By eliminating one Olive
from each salad served in first class. It's like, oh,
Leila: it's like a subway. They can only put like, three or no,
like, four olives on your Subway sandwich. Right? It's a
footlong.
David: So they had um, back in the day, a subway employee? Let
me in on a little secret. Oh, and I don't know if this is
still how it is. I doubt it is with all the computers and stuff
now. But they used to only inventory. The bread. Oh, so
they could add extra meat to anybody sub and not tell
anybody. Meat. And nobody would know because they didn't even
inventory it. They just bought X number of meat X number of
cheese each week. And it will be delivered and they will make
their things now all they ever inventoried was the bread. And I
was like that's crazy. But we're 52 minutes in on our second go.
So we're gonna and we're gonna go get some food and go to the
movies. So everybody have a fan tastic wonderful weekend and
amazing. Next week, and we'll talk at you to you with you.
