201 that's the episode number
for this episode. It is
Friday.
We're releasing this on Friday,
but we're recording it on
September 12, 2024 Welcome to
the show, funfactfriday, com,
with Leila and, David, are we
back to this?
It's always been this.
That's the gag. Welcome to Fun
Fact Friday. We podcast where we
discuss topics surrounding a
different fact. No, we discuss
facts surrounding a different
topic. We discuss weeks, every
day, every day, every topic.
Every time there's a day we're
discussing topics, and it's,
it's kind of fun, right? It's
never on Fridays. We never do
that.
We try and release on Friday.
Sometimes it don't work, yeah?
So, uh, yeah, our Whoa, our
episode topic for today is going
to be pyramids and plates. Or
what? Pyramids and plates.
That's what's going on. So, uh,
food
pyramid doesn't exist. My Plate
is in,
yeah. My plates the new thing,
yeah. But before we go into
telling you exactly what you
should eat to be healthy, we got
a little, really, we got a
little, a little new segment.
It's not going to be huge. It's
basically just telling you, on
the day we recorded this, what's
been going on? What
is the day? Oh, yeah,
today is we'll say together,
123,
world dolphin day.
Dolphin day.
You say national, Nope, just say
national, yeah, we have had a
busy, busy week. I've been
dealing with a bunch of computer
stuff, trying to get
infrastructure redone and then
tighten everything up and get
everything a lot more organized.
And it is a task. DNS is a task,
but I'm not going to go into
that. Leila has already heard it
today. Yeah, look up DNS. If
you're not sure what I'm, what
I'm, what I'm talking about, and
who it's, the problem is always
DNS, yeah? But yeah, we're
gonna, we're gonna try and talk
about, like, what, what day is
the is a national day, because
every day is a national
something, yeah?
And today, I just want to be
part of your symphony. You know,
part of my symphony. I
just want to be part of.
I don't know what that's a song
from one of those new one of
those new bands. No,
it's a meme I'll show you
either, speaking
of bands didn't Weezer just re
released the blue album, or
something they did, they would
have Remastered. It sounds the
exact same, does it? Well, yeah,
it probably sounds the exact
same on like spotlight YouTube,
yeah, and YouTube music. But I
bet if you got a CD and you
played that CD along with one of
the old CDs, you'd probably be
able to tell the difference. Or
if you got a nice lossless flack
file, absolutely. But one thing
we wanted to talk about, first
of all, we wanted to thank John
C Dvorak for coming on the show,
yeah, for Episode 200 that was
really fun, which we could have
talked longer, but it was
getting late, and we had had
take care of some stuff, yeah,
like sleeping. And the next
thing we wanted to talk about is
we're going to be moving to a
little bit different of a format
for the show. We've realized
that the 45 minute to an hour to
an hour and 15 minute episodes
are getting a little long, and
they're taking just, they're
just, it's we're taking too much
time. So we're going to try
really hard to tighten things up
from here on out, keep it around
2530 minutes like we used to be,
and
that you'll hate it, maybe you
won't right. That
should let us know that that
should help us, that should help
us regain a little bit of our
time, and also maybe get some
episodes in the can, because
after an hour of recording,
we're like, do we want to record
another one? Record another one
to get one of the can? It's
like, no, it's uh, because then
we have to do the art, because
then we have to record another
episode, right? And that's a
whole another hour, because we
feel like we end up talking an
hour every time, but I'm
rambling, which is probably part
of the problem, yeah? So then
we're gonna, we're some some
topics that will require more
than 30 minutes to talk about
we're gonna do part one, part
two. We're just gonna we're
gonna do that. So we're trying
to respect your time and keep
things tight and help us out a
little bit with our ever
expanding list of things that
are on our calendar. Yeah? So
that that's just a little, a
little announcement, yeah. So
our topic today spawns from from
us seeing a poster, a pyramid on
a poster. Yeah, not an Egyptian
pyramid. I wish it was a pyramid
with colors would have on it. It
was a pyramid. Yeah, that tells
you, food.
What? Now,
what did? What did this poster
say?
Okay, oh my gosh. The
ridiculous, this pyramid. So you
got a picture of it, right? The
government, the government's
telling us. The government
decided at one point that it was
in charge of telling us how much
of what we're supposed to eat? I
know it's extremely what nothing
we'll talk about that later.
Yeah, it's extremely rare for
the government to try and tell
people what to do and how to
live their lives. We
know how. So they've got to be
right about this, right?
So this pyramid has different
sections, and two different
sections are of different
thicknesses. Now, this isn't the
original one that I remember
growing up with, but we'll get
into that later. This one, this,
I think, is the one that I grew
up with, right, right? The one
back in the early 80s was
different. Mike, off kilter.
Here. There we go, feeling a
little muddy. So this one has
grains, how many cups veg
vegetables? How many cups of
just okay, fruits,
milk and then meat and beans,
meat
and beans, meat and beans. Never
heard about meat and beans. So
this says that you need to eat
six ounces of grains every day.
Okay? So then, then it says
vegetables, and it says two and
a half cups every day. That's a
lot of cups. Yeah, vegetables.
And then eat one and a half cups
of fruits every day. And it
says, Oh, I haven't said the
little, little catch phrases. It
says grains, make half of your
grains whole, and then vary your
veggies, and then focus on
fruits. And then the next
category is milk.
How much milk am I supposed to
drink a day? Dad,
it got a whole category. It
says, Get three cups of milk.
Every
cups of milk the government is
telling you to drink three cups
of milk a
day. These now, this, this
you're gonna get
arrested. Says it's,
yeah, you're right. It's, it
says for kids ages two to eight,
it's two cups. So when you're
younger, you don't have to
drink, to drink as much. And
then meat, as opposed to drink
cow milk, that's right. It says,
Go Lean. Oh, milk says, Get your
calcium rich foods. And it says
meats and beans go lean with
protein. Milk isn't a food. So
we were getting a kick out of
this poster talking about it and
and then it has down at the
bottom, which is not part of the
pyramid, it says oils. Oils are
not a food group, but you need
some for good health. And we'll
talk about that a little later
too. But this spurred our
interest, and we're like, that
thing has changed a lot. That's
our food group, from what I've
learned. But they might just be
on the poster. On this poster,
right? This poster is very
definitely aimed at kids, got
little cartoon characters
dancing around, yeah, and all
that stuff. And anyway, it got
us interested in talking about
the food pyramid, because it has
a long and storied history and
some controversy. So what did
you find in your research?
Leila,
so what I grew up with is the My
Plate. Actually, I think, like,
for the first couple of years of
my elementary school, we learned
the food pyramid, but then it
switched to my plate, like,
halfway through elementary
school for me, so I haven't
really grown up with the food
pyramid, but the My Plate has
this little circle, and it's
split in like four sections, and
the biggest sections are
vegetables and grains. So like,
if I get a picture of it, okay,
so, like, a little more than a
fourth is vegetables, a little
more than a fourth is grains,
and then a little tiny portion
is protein, and a little tiny
portion is fruit, and then you
got a cup of dairy. What is it
with the dairy? Now I'm asking
the same question. So I went to
got milk.com So apparently,
supposed to be drinking so much
milk from nature to nurture.
From nature to nurture because
it's 50% more hydration than
water. I don't believe that.
Where does it says? Because real
milk is full of quality protein,
carbohydrates and electrolyte.
It hydrates you more than a
glass of water.
Um, maybe, I mean, the
electrolytes do do something.
So, yeah, the electrolytes do
help. But I don't know, maybe,
maybe, maybe, but, oh man, when
I think of hydration, I think of
like, Yeah, I think of like
being Gatorade, like I'm hot and
sweaty out here in the studio
because AC hasn't been on. And
like, I'm like, Oh man, let me
just drink a big old, tall glass
of milk. I know when I. You
know, and I'm, I got the the
table, saw out, and I'm out
there doing, doing hard work out
in the sun, and just nothing.
Nothing satisfies like big glass
of milk.
It's disgusting.
We have a bias against milk in
this house a little bit, a
little bit, yeah, oh, real
quick, real quick, for legal
reasons, nothing we say should
be construed as dietary or
nutritional advice,
and nothing we say should be
construed against the US
government.
Good clip. People are gonna clip
that one. Good but yeah, milk,
they are pushing milk. Yes, they
are. Did you want to talk more
about it? Go for it. So on, got
milk.com if you go to got
milk.com/nutrition you can look
at dairy, milk versus oat
drinks, almond drinks, soy
drinks and coconut drinks. They
don't even call them milk at
this point. They just call them
drinks, kind of a low blow.
Well, they're not milk. They're
not, yeah, not really much. But
okay, so this is, this, is this
they're just going right after
their competition. They are.
They really are.
So I went to almond drinks
because almond milk is my
favorite type of milk
substitute. And so it says that
per eight ounce glass milk.
Dairy Milk provides the protein
you need for strong bones, and
it says the almond milk has one
gram of protein per eight ounce
glass. So almond drinks contain
1/8 of the protein found in real
milk, right?
But if you're eating meat,
right, you don't need to. You
don't need milk. If
you, if you eat more protein
than the MyPlate says you don't
need the milk for the protein,
for the protein, but since,
since milk is paying anymore, we
gotta get that protein
on the plate. Talk about that in
a few
months. So it also says it's
cheaper than almond milk.
Because, of course, that is it's
from it's very mass produced.
It's not hard to make, right?
And it's natural.
Well, almost milk is natural
too.
It does it is what even is
natural,
right? Yeah, that's true. I
could go into that, but three
ingredients in milk is milk
vitamin A and vitamin D. So
apparently they're adding
vitamins to
the milk. That's not just
naturally occurring. No, I have
seen, I have seen on before, it
says added or extra vitamin D.
Added vitamin D, which, how do
they add it? Do they like grind
up exactly? Vitamin D doesn't
sound very natural to me, the
cows something, or, you know,
natural is like you walk out
onto a random cow that has been
living out in nature forever,
and you walk up to it and milk
it, that would be natural. And
then you don't pasteurize it,
that would be natural. But also,
I'm not saying I don't like
pasteurization. I'm just I
haven't looked too much into it.
Go ahead.
Go ahead. Um, this also says
that almond drinks are have up
to 14 ingredients that's
including Salt, Sugar
stabilizers, emulsifiers, which
it doesn't have to have those.
No,
we saw a tutorial the other day
on how to make it was literally
almonds
and water.
She added a little bit of, I
think, probably sugar, vanilla
extract, yeah, because she likes
the flavor. Vanilla extract is
natural. If you extract it
naturally.
I like vanilla almond milk. I
like the original more, though,
just the original unsweetened.
Yeah, I feel like you should get
tastes too sweet. You should get
the basic and then add flavor.
If you, yeah, if you want to
look that way, you know you're
not stuck with it's like, it's
like, when, when you make a cup
of coffee, you don't want to buy
pre made coffee. I don't want to
buy the pre made caramel
flavored. Yeah, I want to make
regular coffee. Way too sweet,
add a little bit of caramel.
Yeah, you know that whatever
that flavor the little bottles
with the pump on the top,
but it basically does this for
oat soy and coconut as well.
Coconut milk is delicious,
and I'm not slamming milk. I'm
not a fan of milk. I put milk in
my coffee or my cereal. Which
cereal in like, a year, but I
mean, either cereal is not all
that great. We buy, we probably
buy a gallon of organic milk
once every two weeks. Lasts
about two weeks. Yeah, you'll
only use it for like, your
coffee and mac and cheese. So,
right,
right? And what? Yeah, and it's
not even about the we buy the
organic because A, it lasts
longer and B, it tastes better
to me. It doesn't it in the
lasting longer is the main
thing. Because, like I said, we
don't, we don't drink that much
milk. But, yeah, the milk thing
comes from, or not comes from,
there's, there's been some, some
Criticism and controversy. Oh,
about as is the heading on the
Wikipedia. The USDA has come
under criticism because they
say, folks say. That the USDA
has let food industries such as
big milk,
oh yeah, I
tagged got milk as big milk in
the subtitle, yeah,
that's the Got Milk website link
in the show notes, the food
industries such as milk
companies have been accused of
influencing the USDA.
They wouldn't do that. They'd do
that into
making like Because apparently,
the colored spot for milk on the
My Plate was smaller, and they,
the dairy industry came in and
was like, hey, and this, this is
alleged. I don't know how, how
researched this is. There's
links in the Wikipedia to Wall
Street Journal article that I
can't read. It's, it's, it's
firewalled and the pen, they've
been putting pressure. They've
been putting pressure on the
USDA to be like dairy, it's what
to eat.
So I'm
wondering, was like the My
Plate? Is this supposed to be
three meals a day, of fruits,
grains, vegetables and protein?
Well, what it's trying to say is
that's what your plate, your
plate should look like, like
every plate you have, like every
meal, every meal should have
each right? I don't. Let's see,
my typical breakfast is like a
breakfast burrito, some, some
kind of breakfast meat, eggs on
a tortilla.
I usually eat just like
leftovers, or, yeah, chicken
nuggets, right?
That's super, super breakfast
foods, all that much. But no,
yeah, it's, I don't, I don't
think that it's saying every I
think it's just saying over the
course of your day, that should
be about the breakdown,
yeah, because I've always heard
that this is like lunch,
especially since it's like lunch
at school.
Oh yeah, the rock poster, oh
my gosh, at my old school, there
was this photo of the rock and
he had like a milk mustache, and
it just said, Got milk. And he
was taunting me every day to
drink my milk. It was scary. It
was just this huge poster of
him. So
the My Plate breaks down to I
just said the the amounts that
you should eat of each thing.
And it actually on the
Wikipedia, if you go to the
MyPlate breakdown, it kind of
gives you what that might look
like, and it says three to five
ounces of protein. And like,
that doesn't seem like a lot,
because three ounces of like
steak, for example, is about the
size of a deck of cards, and
that's why you're supposed to
eat for per a day. That seems I
don't know that seems low to me
for protein, but I also know
that I overeat because I love
the way food tastes. I
feel like you're supposed to
have more protein than that.
Maybe, maybe
we should. We should, like, I
should try this for a week. I
should like, measure out. Um,
wait, this is, this is just for
kids, because it says two year
olds, three year olds, four and
five year olds. You're not a
four and five, four or five year
old is my plate just for the
kids?
Probably what,
no way. Nutrition
is for kids.
That's for the youngins. So
there is also out there a
vegetarian diet pyramid is what
it's called, and it pretty much
has like 12 servings of whole
grains, well, one to three
servings of legumes and soy
legumes. Legume that's amazing.
A peanut is neither a pea nor a
nut, it's a legume. Extra points
for anybody who gets that
reference. Six to nine servings
of vegetables, three to four
servings of fruits, one to two
servings of nuts and seeds, zero
to two servings of vegetable
oils, zero to one serving of
egg, zero to two servings of
dairy. And then sweets. At the
top, it just has, like a little
tiny piece that says sweets.
And wait, I love that. I need my
little serving of sweets a day.
Um, now at the bottom here, uh
huh, it says you're
supposed to drink eight, eight
ounce glasses of water a day.
Yeah, that's
not so bad. It's only 64 ounces.
Wait, no, is that right? Eight
times eight? Yeah, 64 ounces. I
thought I doubted my own maths.
Hold on,
okay, what? Hold on. Hold on,
yeah.
Are you going for 64 or is it
something?
For gallons, half a gallon, it
is half a gallon. So, not so
bad. But, yeah,
water seems like a lot. Well,
okay, so it there's so much
water in food, yeah, so, so
I don't drink as much as I think
I do. I
I feel. Like, if you always
drink something when you're
thirsty, unless you realize that
you're drinking like almost
nothing every day, I feel like
your body tells you when you
need water. Yeah, and people
that are like, forcing
themselves to drink 64 or a
gallon of water, I feel like
that that's maybe not great.
Yeah.
Believe it or not, your body
will tell you what it needs,
yeah,
yeah, the vegetarian food
pyramid, I like how at the
bottom of this one, it's not
just about the food. It says
other lifestyle recommendations,
daily exercise and sunlight, 10
minutes a day to activate
vitamin D. It has a water thing,
but yeah, and the the sunlight
thing is important. I think the
sunlight should be in all the
food pyramids. It should be
like, give you some sun. Go
touch grass. And I know that
that's become like an insult
now, yeah, go touch grass. But
you should, you should go touch
the planet. Get get back and let
your body know. Yeah, we're
still here. We're still on
Earth. Nature is so cool. So I
realized, I realized at one
point in my life, it had been
like months since I had touched
anything natural and living
like, I mean, like grass or a
tree or, you know, anything out
in nature. And I was like, wow.
It's because I used to be out in
the woods all the time when I
was a kid, but I was like, I
need to, I need to get out there
and do something. Touch dirt,
touch the ground. You know,
they, and there's people that
advocate for that as a healthy
thing, go out and ground
yourself. But um, and, yeah, who
knows if that's, there's
anything to that? Maybe I'll
look into that see, what if
there's any actual benefit to
touching the the earth directly?
Okay, so we've gone through got
milk. We've gone through the the
controversy. Oh, the the
different food pyramids. Let's
see. Originally, it started in
1972 in Sweden, the Joseph food
bread by uh, oh, yeah, sorry,
1978 by Joseph food pyramid,
yeah, when he had a little toy
Pyramid of Giza and he dropped a
bowl of cereal and some broccoli
on it. And he was like, oh,
pyramid, no. Is 1972 in the
Sweden National Board of Health
and Welfare were like, hey, you
know these basic foods. Oh,
this. This was during the high
food prices at the time, like
the food prices were through the
roof at the time in Sweden, and
they were like, We need these
basic foods and supplemental
foods. We gotta break everything
down. And they called it the
basic seven, and it's just a
circle with a fun looking, bless
you, fun looking little Swedish
family with a mom and a dad and
a little boy and a little girl,
and it says, Eat this way every
day, and it has seven pie pieces
around them. And it says yellow,
leafy greens and vegetables,
citrus fruits, tomatoes, raw
cabbage, potatoes and other
vegetables and fruits, milk,
cream cheese. Yeah, see, they're
saying children need three to
four cups of milk, and adults
two cups of milk. Why is
everybody so obsessed with
drinking milk? So much milk,
waters and milk? Yeah? Meats,
eggs, poultry. Sorry. Meats,
eggs, poultry, fish eggs, oh, so
x twice, dried beans, all that
stuff, and then grains, and then
butter and fortified margarine.
Margarine is like plastic, but
yeah, with the food prices and
everything. And then at the
bottom, it says, in addition to
the basic seven, eat any other
foods you want.
I love it. And it has always
food thing. I
like that. Oh, wait, this isn't
Sweden. This is from the US
Department of Agriculture. So
it's not a Swedish family, it's
an American family. That's the
basic stars around it. I I got
my stuff mixed up. What are you
but yeah, so I guess that was
the the first one was like a
circle. But so the food circle,
it's the food circle. This basic
seven eat any other foods you
want. I guess you call it the
circle of life.
So then the RIP James Earl Jones
the circle talking about eat
whatever else you want. It was
saying, These are the things you
need to eat, because, you know,
you need at least this much
protein, and at least this much
and that's one of the other
criticisms that the food pyramid
had. And the MyPlate has, is
that some of the categories, you
need a minimum of this many
vegetables, but really you
shouldn't, shouldn't eat more
than this much meat, is what
they're. Suggestions say they're
like, You need to make it
consistent. Either be like, this
is the recommended amount you
should eat and no more, or be
like, these are all the minimums
you need to eat, or these are
all the maximums you need to
eat. They need to be consistent
with it, because you're like,
eat at least this many
vegetables and put no more meat
than this. That's the crazy
part. And, um, and they've taken
out of the pyramid that we saw
on the poster. The fats and oils
were not out there. But those
were all. Those were on most of
the other ones, because fats and
oils are important. They are
you're gonna have that, yeah,
look
like a prune. Well,
uh, les Stroud on the show
survivor man was talking about,
if you don't eat enough fat, you
can die. Yeah. So, like, if
you're out in the wilderness and
all there is, is these super
lean jackrabbits running around,
and you use them for food,
you'll you won't survive,
because it's just all protein.
There's, like, there's no fats,
and your body does need fats,
especially for your brain.
There's a link in the show notes
about cholesterol and how your
brain actually really needs
cholesterol, and not having
enough can lead to brain
problems. The right kinds of
cholesterol, of course, there's
multiple kinds, but I like my
food pyramid with all most of
its meat, a little bit of carbs,
like tortillas to wrap the meat
in, and then you got to have
your fats and oils to cook the
meat in. And then some, some
veggies are really good. Yeah, I
like broccoli and and carrots.
Those are pretty good. So
that's, that's my food pyramid.
My food pyramid probably be, uh,
let me, let me look at chicken
nuggets. Absolutely, that's all
I need.
We have been getting done a
little bit the better ones.
Okay, so I probably like, huh,
sour dough bread, because I'm
fancy. Like that, all right, um,
I like bell peppers for my
vegetables. I also got, like
broccoli, broccoli, bell
peppers. I like onions a little
bit. Yeah,
when broccoli is cooked right,
onions are good. Oh, yeah,
corn and then fruits. I like
grapes like a lot. I really like
grapes. Oh, we
got some really good grapes. My
goodness, perfect. I
bit into one, and it crunch like
perfectly. And I was like, Oh
my gosh. And two are the best
grape ever. And some fell on the
ground. And since, you know, you
don't want to eat them and wash
them off whatever, I was like,
oh, throw in the microwave.
Because if you take two grapes
and put them in the microwave,
kids don't try this at home
without adult supervision. You
take two grapes and you put them
in the microwave to where
they're touching each other and
put it on, you know, 30 seconds
or whatever, and watch what
happens. We're not spoiling it.
It's pretty cool, though, not
spoiling it, but watch what
happens. And again, kids don't
try this at home, yeah, without
a parent's supervision, it's
very interesting.
And then, oh my meat. Oh sorry,
fish and egg and alternatives.
Why would you look at my screen?
You have a screen in front of
you. I don't have that specific
page up. I like chicken.
Chicken's my favorite meat,
probably chicken and pork, both
really good. Milk and
alternatives. I like cheese. I
like almond milk. I like milk. I
like ice cream. You
like them? They just don't like
you. Yeah.
Fat and oil and sugar, yeah,
yeah. So you like the you like
the food. I like the food. So
the one we're looking at is the
one on, chp.gov.hk,
I'm kind of forced to follow it,
because I go to public schools,
you
know. Well, yeah, well, I mean
for that one meal, yeah? So,
like, I would put on the the
ones that's grains on the
bottom, that's a huge part of
the pyramid. That would be meat
and then vegetables and fruit.
I'm not a big fan of fruit, but
I understand it does have some
what you don't like fruit, not
really. I mean, I'm okay. I like
apples and grapes and
watermelon. Okay, that's and I
like using lemons and limes to
like season things. Okay,
so you like fruit, you just
don't like fruit, yeah, just,
it's
not my first choice, yeah, but
yeah the bottom, the biggest
part would be meat, and then
veggies and probably fat soils
and sugars right above that, and
then we put the fruit and the
the milk above that, and the
milks at the top. I feel
like I'm fine with this, but
like, put meat to the bottom,
and then move milk up with the
fat, oil and sugar, and then
move grains toward the milk is
Yeah, grains should be in the
middle, towards the top. Less
grains. You don't need it that
much. Yeah, you do need grains,
but you don't need, like, as
much grains as everything else
combined. It's a lot. It's a lot
of carbs. Swap
the grains and the protein and
then move milk up to that oil
and sugar. There
you go, and salt. And that's it.
That's the perfect pyramid.
That's the That's the
funfactfriday com, Friday
nutrition pyramid. So
we're, uh, we're getting close.
That 30 minute mark. So we're
gonna go ahead and do our value
for value segment. This is a
value for value podcast, which
means that we put the show out
for free, and we hope you enjoy
it. All of our new listeners
have come in. May not have heard
this before anywhere. This is
this is how we do it. We're
never gonna charge you for
anything. We're never gonna have
an ad on the show. And if you
appreciate the show, if you get
excited when a new episode comes
out, that means it's worth
something to you. Yeah, and
sometimes we get a row of ducks,
and sometimes we get a row of
ducks, which we're talking
about, and it's like some three
vampire fire. But since we, like
I said, since we do have new
listeners, I'm kind of
explaining the value for value
thing. And it doesn't just mean
monetary support, it can also
mean send us an email. We love
getting emails and or a letter.
A letter, you can go to
funfactfriday com and click
donate, and we have our PL box
there. Send us a sticker, yeah,
from something you enjoy. Or we
had a guy postcard, yeah, send
us postcards for Yep, postcards
are fantastic. He's doing now, I
don't know, but we we appreciate
everything that we get from
people, and that also comes in
the the form of time, just
telling somebody about the show
that's time, yeah, or like dreb
Scott helps us out with our
chapters and transcripts. We
appreciate that. And this week,
we got some support. We got our
monthly PayPal sustaining
donations. Those are fantastic.
You can go to paypal and set up
a recurring payments, or you can
actually go to your bank website
and set up a monthly payment
that way, and they will just
send us a paper check, and that
won't cost you anything, because
the bank mails it directly to us
for free. And there's no payment
processor taking any of the
money out out of it so that we
get the full amount. Looks like
PayPal eats it up. So we got
Steven Grimes for $10 yeah. And
we got dreb Scott from 1912
No. That means Oreos.
Oreos, we need to
get, like an Oreo button, of us
just saying Oreo, right, like
every single time he donates
Oreo, and then, yeah, those,
those are our monthly
sustainers. Those are awesome
because they help us pay for our
hosting costs. But hosting a
podcast does cost money the
website and the infrastructure
and all that stuff so and then
we received some value for value
in the form of Bitcoin boosts,
yeah, Satoshis. If you're using
a modern podcast app that
supports the feature like
fountain.fm you can go in and
send us a little tiny bits of
Bitcoin that you can actually
go ahead, have a modern podcast
app. Go to what is it called?
Podcast apps.com Yeah,
podcasts.com
or new podcast apps.com either
way, and look for one that has
value for value in there, or
value tag the ones. I mean,
yeah, all this is that you want.
If you get value out of the
show, and we can't tell you how
much that value is worth,
because we don't know what the
show is worth to you. It might
be worth 1000 bucks. You might
be a multi billionaire, and
you're like, I'm gonna give, I'm
gonna give funfactfriday com
$100,000 or you might just be
like, You know what? I like the
show, and I'm gonna give them.
I'm gonna give them 10 cents an
episode. So like, every, you
know, 10 episodes or so, you
send us $1 or wait, wait for 20
episodes and send us $2 that
way, the fees. Don't eat it all
up. But you get the idea. Yeah,
we get the idea. But we
definitely appreciate all the
support we get and all the
emails gotten some pictures from
some folks who got our hot
sauce. You can go order that by
the case at hot sauce, dot
funfactfriday com. You can go to
merch or store dot funfactfriday
com and pick up some other merch
that we have, but the Satoshi
donations. Do you want to read
them? Sure. Alrighty. So
we got 2222 SATs from Bully
speed. That's a row of ducks.
Row of ducks is it's a row of
ducks because
the twos look like a bunch of
ducks in a row. Yeah.
Fediverse donation, congrats.
Congratulation on Episode 200
another wonderful listen with
Jace JCD. I have opinions about
starters, rye and sourdough. I'm
a baker. My starter is named
bread Nugent. Nice, because Ted
Nugent, oh, he's a musician.
My favorite bread to bake is rye
we'll share later. That's
awesome. I want to make some rye
bread. I feel like that'd be
kind of easier to start. Gotta,
just
gotta get a starter going.
Yeah, I gotta, I gotta get, um,
gotta get some rye flour. Right,
right, right. Yeah, you're
right. It's
like, when we put the grapes in
the thing today, and I took him
out, and I was like, not so
grape anymore.
Oh my gosh.
He stared at me. We got 12345,
sets from Chad. And that's
apparently, yeah, and that's
apparently three vampires and a
fire emoji.
I don't know. I don't know why.
It's like, it's from fountain.
They put like, emojis with
certain, no,
yeah, I get that, but I don't
understand why it's I don't
understand vampires, vampire
fire. I don't know it's really
funny. Um, congrats on Episode
200 and then they put the little
Yahoo party emojis. Yeah, that's
what I meant. Too many eggs.com
with the chicken and egg and egg
and frog. Man, yeah.
Thank you, Chad F and bully
Steve for those boost. We
definitely appreciate those.
That's the best way to send us a
comment that, yeah, 12,345 sets.
That's a that's a good chunk of
change. We appreciate that.
Chat. Chat if I always say it,
chat if when I'm thinking when I
see it written. So we definitely
appreciate all the value
returned to us, and we will, oh
my gosh. For some reason my
brain was just like, Did I hit
record?
Oh my gosh, of course you did.
That's why it has the number I
know. Like, I've moved the
rodecaster a little bit, and
it's not directly in my
peripheral. It's like, right in
my blind spot, the record
button. And normally I can see
the red light, and I didn't see
it for a second, and my brain
was like, Oh no.
We were just giving up after
that. We were done tomorrow,
right? Well, a happy dolphin
Day.
Happy dolphin Day, everybody.
That's how we're gonna end the
show notes, whatever the Day of
the Day is this? Happy dolphin
Day. Happy
dolphin day. Everybody.
Have a good weekend. All the
links that we used,
Kyle is here. Show Notes, oh,
