Leila: Hey, welcome to Fun right?
David: That was just mumbling. Yeah,
Unknown: I know that's
David: what we do here.
Leila: Mumble we're mumblers. Welcome to
David: funfactfriday. We're a weekly podcast where we discuss
topics surrounding different facts, no facts surrounding
different topics each week. Ooh,
Leila: this infographic anyway, yeah,
David: no one of the one of the sources I picked. Well, hey,
infographics, if you have a topic idea for us, send it to
mail at funfactfriday com or hit us up on our socials. Yes,
please. Yeah. So this week, what are we talking about?
Leila: Infographics? No. Oh, can weird ingredients, in crap,
yeah,
David: weird ingredients. So I had an exchange with one of our,
our loyal listeners, and we got to talking about guano, and
that's, that's, that's poo, bird and bat, poo and, and I was
like, yeah, it's got, um, there's, there's, they put that
in makeup. And then I was like, oh, let's do a whole show about
really weird and gross stuff that's put in food and makeup so
that I feel like there's enough information there for an
episode, right? So, yeah, that's what we're gonna do. Before
that, though, I got, I got a story. What story? And it's
going to be for the nerds in the audience. If you're not
interested in my computer and networking woes and triumphs,
you can skip ahead probably three four minutes. So about a
week ago, our network attached storage device, henceforth known
as the NAS, one of the pools of of hard drives in it just, I
was, I was doing a backup, and it just kind of kind of stopped
in the middle of the backup. And this is right after I've I spent
a week like deep diving into an old hard drive to get all of our
family videos back. And I got all of our family videos and
pictures back that I thought were gone forever because of a
bad hard drive that I didn't back up. So I get all that back,
minus a few, because a few were corrupted. But I get all that
back and I've got it on the NAS. I'm like, All right, let's do a
NAS backup. And then that hard drive cluster failed, and it
failed hard, like so hard that the NAS froze up and I couldn't
even access the device. After about eight hours, 10 hours of
being very upset, we'll just say i i got it to where I could at
least get those hard drives backed up to the other hard
drives in the NAS. And then I ended up taking those hard
drives, wiping them, tried to reformat them back into a pool
that has to where, like one or two of the drives can fail. It's
called a raid pool. And I tried to do that, and it didn't work.
So, like, I couldn't use those hard drives anymore. But anyway,
I got it to where now there's no redundancy. I've got it in
what's called a raid zero. And raid zero means that if any of
the drives fail, whatever's on that drive is just gone. So the
NAS is, it's not letting me do it in any other raid format, and
I'm very upset about it. So I'm talking to the manufacturer of
the NAS and seeing if I can figure out what to do. I really
don't want to have to send it in, because then I'm without an
ass for a while. I'm like, wait a minute. Let me do let me do
this. I'm going to build a new NAS out of parts. So I bought a
$40 old op Dell Optiplex 5040, with 16 gigs of RAM, no hard
drive, and a 65 high 560, 500 processor, and I tried to get it
all up and working, and realized that those, those, uh, don't,
don't come with standard parts in them. They're Dell, like,
proprietary connectors for everything in there. I'm like,
Ah, so I had to go buy a bunch of adapters. And then the hard
drive is not sitting right, so it's acting weird. And then it
was just a it was a week of computer problems and network
problems, but about two hours ago. I got everything working.
Everything's working. I've got the old NAS. I've got a R sync
set up. So every, every night, that one's gonna back up to the
new one, and then it's all, it's all working. So I'm just gonna,
I'm gonna walk away from it. It gets everything's working, I
need to stop touching it. And then also our Umbral node, which
is a Raspberry Pi. It has been needed to upgrade to the newest
version of the Umbral OS for a while now, and I haven't done it
because I'm afraid to, because if you if that messes up, I. In
the process of upgrading it, like you gotta, there's, there's
all kinds of problems. You gotta, like, rebuild your
channels, and you gotta, there's a whole, whole mess of things,
if anything goes wrong. Well, that is the first project I've
done computer related in forever that everything went smoothly,
nice. It was first shot the the Umbral was only down for 10
minutes, and it was, I'm just, I was extremely excited that that
one went smoothly, because that one, you know, it's the Emerald
mode. That's how we get our boosts, yeah. All right, so I
think that's, I think that's all I wanted to say about that. All
right, so I had to, I had to, just, I had to get it off my
chest. I had to tell that lots of lots of trials and
tribulations in dealing with Linux and weird network
connections and all that stuff. But I got it all working. So
let's talk about some weird ingredients, yeah.
Leila: And apparently, an infographic, yeah, so I which
one is it? A big hater, food packaging labels.net. Food.
David: Page, yep, food packaging. Labels.net, link in
our show notes. It's
Leila: a second one. It's, let's see, it's in an infographic. Why
would you make an infographic? Well, I don't know. I guess it
catches people's attention, yeah,
David: but you should also have it in text, because then it's
searchable and it's SEO friendly. Yeah,
Leila: this is just an image. Come on, man, right?
David: That's weird. Oh, one more computer thing. Sorry. But
I rolled up our own AI model on my main computer, like my gaming
machine, with the powerful graphics card and everything,
and it's just as fast as, you know, grok, or what's the one on
Microsoft copilot? And the answers are right on par, and I
can put different models into it and everything. So I'm pretty
excited about that. It's pretty cool. It's really neat. Okay, so
weird stuff, antifreeze, antifreeze. Antifreeze is
delicious. Do not drink it, folks.
Leila: It's used to thicken food. What? Propylene glycol?
Oh, antifreeze. So what? It's not antifreeze. It's just an
ingredient in antifreeze.
David: So it's like saying the website's lying to you.
Leila: I don't know why the internet would ever lie to me,
but, yeah, is it a.com
David: it's a.net Yeah, see, never. You can't, can't trust
a.net anything you can't trust anything except for dot coms.
Leila: That's like saying, Oh, sugar is poisonous because you
got salmonella from that one thing that has sugar in it, huh?
David: It sounds like you're a news anchor on a major news
network. I
Leila: am, actually,
Unknown: I am the news
David: I'm a journalist. Yeah, any freeze and icing on your
case? Yeah, propylene glycol is in everything. Oh, yeah, I love
propylene propylene glycol is in a vape juice. Oh, that's one of
the two main ingredients. It's also in like this, says food
thickeners, like cakes or icing on cakes.
Leila: Did you know that? Um, what ticks produce antifreeze?
What like? Yeah, it, it's to help them survive in cold
temperatures, and like the Lyme disease feeds on that.
David: Oh, we could do a whole silly speculation Saturday about
Lyme disease. I would love to do you know who invented Lyme
disease?
Leila: Jeremy No. Jeff, no, Joseph, Lyme disease,
David: no, that was the US government. Of course it
Leila: was, I love the US government. Why would they ever
do something like that?
David: No, it's an interesting topic. It's a very interesting
topic. The things that I've most of the stuff I've heard about
Lyme disease, I've heard from conspiracy theory podcasts, so I
really need to look into it myself. But I've heard, and this
is all just speculation from people that I've heard it from
was that the US guy was supposed to be a US government bio weapon
of some kind, or something like that. Well, I'm not, I'm not
saying that it
Leila: was like against the Geneva Convention, yeah, but
David: this might have been before the Geneva Convention.
Oh, yeah, it's been. I don't know. I'm not. I don't want to
say anything on a funfactfriday com because, because it's all
just speculation that I heard on podcast, and I don't remember it
well enough to even really talk about it. So let's get off the
topic. Yeah, um,
Leila: shellac, shellac. Well, shellac, from
David: what? What's a shellac with you?
Leila: So is shellac bug based? That's what I'm so what I'm
thinking,
David: What number are you on three? Number three food
packaging labels. Shellac is used for, like
Leila: it's to smooth out the candy, oh yeah, to keep it from
keep it from
David: melting in your hand. Yeah, it's a shellac. I thought.
I didn't know shellac was a actual. I thought it was like a
loose term for things that you like. You shellac a
Leila: bench to keep it rain from use it on, like tables and
grab Yeah.
David: So that's what I thought. I didn't know shellac was a I
thought it was like a term for a verb. You know, you shall act
something meaning you put a coding, gosh,
Leila: I've known that it was a noun, okay?
David: Define shellac. It's a noun, a purified lack, yeah, it
was a noun. It's a shellac. Is a purified lack. Yeah, what's a
lack?
Leila: Maybe you should know that what's a
David: lack with you? Um, oh, a shellac. Here's the number one
definition, resin
Leila: secreted by lack insects on trees in the forests of India
and Thailand.
David: So bug juice. Bug juice, yeah, yummy. It's juices that
bugs produce that's disgusting. So what's it used? Like a juice
used in varnishes, paints, acrylic sealants, and formerly
in phonograph records, yo,
Leila: nail polish. But yeah,
David: so I guess that's a cosmetic, Yeah, but why is it on
the food ingredient? It's
Leila: fun nail polish, because it's edible. So just edible.
David: Oh, okay, yeah, cuz I guess they put it on candy. So
that's, that's okay,
Unknown: yummy. All right, so
David: how about, how about, um, how about snail slime,
Leila: that one's not that bad. It can it contains, aren't this,
David: aren't that bad? A lot, yeah, a lot of aren't terrible,
like and you're not eating it. So Snail, snail slime contains
something called mucin, which I guess is like a mucus. It's a
group of proteins that's rich in amino acids with a strong
capacity to hold water for softer skin. Oh, good one. Thank
you because zoom tight. Thank you. And you can find the mucin
in super seven elixir face cream that is $325 Oh, my gosh.
Leila: This is something that link from Breath of the Wild
would like, like, when you throw everything in the pot, you just
watch it smoosh
David: up to some bugs and apples and tar, and it turns
into a
Leila: Bokoblin Fang. Oh, wow. Number seven elixir face serum.
Look at that.
David: It's not available on Amazon.
Leila: Looks like some communists.
David: Communists charging 320, $5 for some lotion. Yeah, that's
communist serum
Leila: I've ever used by Betty C, are we reading?
David: We're gonna start reading Amazon reviews on the show.
Absolutely. There's definitely not an ad for this stuff. No
wool grease. You ever heard lanolin? I've heard that today.
I've heard lanolin before, and because they used to, they used
to advertise it on on some like, stuff that, like moisturizing
creams and stuff. They're like, it's got lanolin, which is
basically just like, sheep sweat. It's something that the
the sheep produced, like, the sheep's wool, yeah, it greases
up the wool. So, like, if it rains, it doesn't soak in, soak
into the wool very well. It's,
Leila: it's in chewing gum. You
David: know that? Yeah, that's, see, that's where I'm, like,
some of the things like we were talking about, it's not that
bad, you think about it, and you're like, oh, but
Leila: then you're like, sunscreen, right,
David: right? I get it on the lotion stuff because, I mean, if
they're making it with their skin, it's obviously good for
the skin or
Unknown: hair. Good? What?
Leila: Yeah, was it for their skin or hair, right?
David: They're an animal, kind of, like, kind of like, how cow
milk is cow milk really good for humans. I'm on the I'm on the
Leila: fence about it. I'm on the note, not, you're on the
knot. I'm in the not. God, no, you have your issues.
David: How about skin cells? I love skin cells. Human skin
cells. Human skin cells make up most of the dirt in your house.
Oh, yeah, we've
Leila: been over that. Yeah, we have, like, I was like
David: that, what feels like yesterday, skin cells harvested
from one original source to help heal burn wounds. So I guess
they have a culture of a certain person's skin cells, and that
person, okay, we're gonna have to find that. I can't remember
her name, but basically there was a woman who sells, they
still use in, like so much science, so much research,
because her cells, for some reason, they constantly keep
regenerating. So like part. Of her are still alive. Like her
skin cells keep regenerating. Like normally, after so many
generations, they stop splitting on a cellular level, but like
her stuff just keeps going. And I think that's probably who this
is talking about this on Harper's Bazaar. So it says
these cells were harvested from one original source to help heal
burn wounds, which eventually led to the creation of skincare
lines. These cultures contain a matchup of proteins, growth
factors and other beneficial ingredients that are effective
in improving overall skincare or overall health of the skin. So
they're using skin cells from another person and making stuff
out of it to help your skin huh? Is that interesting? I'm gonna
have to find out that person's name, because there was a whole
lawsuit about it, because their families, like all of these
companies, have made billions of dollars off of our relatives,
you know, cells, and we're getting nothing.
Leila: So the FDA allows one rat hair per 100 grams
Unknown: of chocolate.
David: That's not a lot of grams. No, those little candy
bars that we just got from Aldi are 25 grams each. Yeah, so
every four of those you're allowed to have one rat hair.
Unknown: Yeah, that's,
David: um, wait, that's more than I would like,
Leila: Okay, wait, this isn't worded weird, okay. It says the
FDA, FDA allows one rat you are squeak in your chair. One rat
hair per 100 grams in six 100 gram sub samples of chocolate in
60 insect fragments per 100 grams in 600 gram sub samples,
huh.
David: Okay, so basically, what it's saying is if, if they pull
six samples of 100 grams each.
Leila: Oh, okay, so in a hun in 600 grams,
David: and 600 grams are allowed to have six red hairs.
Leila: No one right here per 100
David: Whoa, there's a stink bug.
Leila: I'm sorry.
Unknown: Oh,
Leila: why do they fly? So they fly, hey, this is what
David: you don't get in one of those AI podcasts, okay, the AI
podcasts are going to be taking over. We have heard, we have
heard recently, a someone took a transcript of our podcast and
ran it through notebook, LM, I think is what it's called, and
created a podcast out of it, and basically it sounds like a
podcast giving a five minute summary of our podcast with AI
voices. So
Leila: are we official intelligence?
David: I yeah, that's, we're not. Yeah, it's not actual, it's
official. We're official intelligence. That's what? Okay,
that's, that's a shirt. I don't know right now. Do we need to
kill it? Do I need to pause it? Oh, no. If we kill it's gonna,
it's gonna, yeah, that's
Leila: what I'm saying. You
David: want to get the vacuum. If we sucked it up in the
vacuum, that would work, because it would stay alive.
Leila: You could, okay, well,
David: the vacuums over there by you. All right, no, I'm gonna
pause it. Pause it. Ready. Okay,
Leila: get copyrighted?
David: I just don't want to listen to you sing that
headphones on. The bug situation has been remedied. We
Leila: can put them in some cosmetics now. Official
intelligence, we are the official take care of
David: it. Yep. Official intelligence, be venom. Oh, bee
venom contains at least 18 pharmacologically active
components, including the what pharmacologically
pharmacologically active components, including various
enzymes and peptides. It's used in skin care to reduce fine
lines and wrinkles. It's worth a try, as there's data that
exists, supporting the efficacy.
Leila: So, do you know what silicon dioxide is? I do know
what silicon dioxide is. What is silicon dioxide? Delicious,
real.
David: It's in tacos.
Leila: It's sand, it's sand, it's glass powder. Yeah,
David: and they put it in tacos.
Leila: Yummy. It's an anti caking, anti, anti, anti. I'm
gonna say anti, because that's better caking agent, yep, they
put it. What helps it not be cake? Is this cake?
David: Is this cake? Yeah, that's they Wendy's chili. Yeah,
they put it in. Wendy's chili. They put it dude, I
Leila: forgot when he said, chili. Okay, no, I
David: my microphone came loose from the thing. They also put it
in the lunch meat. What? I
Leila: clicked on a video that was scary. Oh, no. I clicked on
a video by accident. They
David: put it in the lunch meat from not lunch meat, the
hamburger meat from Taco Bell. I. Oh, yeah. Like, it's way
cheaper than bed. They
Leila: use it in, like, the nachos of school. Oh my gosh,
it's probably all sand. It's all sand. It's just a sand
David: and bugs. That's like, that's all you get in public
school.
Leila: School lunch is so like, middle is a line that it's not
even notable, like, it's that bad, like, it's not even on one
end of the spectrum. What do you mean? Like, okay, so being the
worst would mean that it stands out in some way,
David: right? It's kind of like somebody told me so bad that a
long time ago, we're talking about that when you you know
you've got, you got your love, right? And you love somebody,
the opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is
indifference, yeah, because hate means you still have feelings
towards that person and you think about them, whereas
indifference, like I bet there is somebody in England named
Bill that I've never thought about in my entire life. You are
now, right? But I don't, I think about him. I'm just thinking
about a name, right? I'm not like, visualizing anybody. So
it's like, if I hated somebody, it's better than being
completely indifferent towards them. Like, I don't even know
who that is, you know. So like, if you, if you've got an enemy,
you kind of love them, you know, it's just on the hate end of
love. Yeah, I know what I'm talking about. So, so the bugs
Leila: have you keep going on that, right? Just like, get more
and more crazy with
David: it. So there's hate, and then there's love, and there's,
like, think of like, a teeter totter, everyone connected, and
there's, you know, there's a teeter totter, and there's
somebody on it, and you hate them, but then when it goes
down, you love them, but then when it goes up, but then when
they jump off, and, like, you slam on the ground really hard.
You Oh, man, I don't know where I was going with that acne but
that was the fun about it, acne treatment. What's about acne
treatment?
Leila: I don't know. I just saw on your screen.
David: Oh so beetles.
Unknown: Beetle juice,
David: if your makeup, go check your makeup, folks, if it has
Carmine in the ingredients list, that is a coloring that is made
up from Cochin coconio beetles. Yeah, coconut these insects are
native to Mexico and are crushed to release a vibrant red dye. It
takes 70,000 of them to produce one pound of dye. I don't
Leila: think they're crushed out. I think they're boiled.
They're boiled in ammonia, and this stuff comes out. Yeah?
Sodium Carbonate, pretty terrible.
David: Um, it's also used, or it used to be used as an ingredient
in strawberries and cream. Frappuccinos, berries and cream.
Yeah, strawberries and cream. All right, that, okay,
strawberry flavored stuff. I got, I got a I got a bone to
pick with strawberry flavored stuff. Calm down. Strawberry.
Big strawberry. Big strawberry needs to calm No, it's not even
strawberries. It's just strawberry flavored things.
Whatever the flavoring is that they're using for the strawberry
flavor, they need to be using about a third of it, because
everything that strawberry flavored is a, way, way
overpowering every other flavor. That's just my, my that's, you
know what? That's. My two cents on the subject
Leila: I'm asking, AI, what, what strawberries are? Yeah, see
what it thinks the strawberries are. Certainly sorry, I
David: need to take a drink.
Leila: What are you talking about? Strawberries? Oh
Unknown: my gosh.
David: Oh my gosh. It's still going, come on co pilot, oh
Leila: my gosh. So I asked it, what com, what do companies use
to make strawberry flavor? I expected like a, like a two
sentence answer like, oh yeah, I'll use this. Isn't this?
Actually, I'm gonna ask it, hey,
Unknown: hey, you
Leila: sum that up. I can't read this.
David: Is gonna talk to you,
Leila: certainly. Here's a concise summary for you that's
much better, much better. Companies use a mix of natural
strawberry compounds, synthetic flavors, essential oils and
rigorous quality to control and create the delightful strawberry
flavor we all love. So
David: that's that doesn't really answer the question. So
Leila: synthetic compounds like ethyl met methyphenol glycodate,
that's a big word,
Unknown: and like, what is it even talking about? Oh,
David: wow, this has gone off the rails.
Leila: Okay, I'm not so okay. It's just a whole bunch of
chemicals.
David: Sodium bisulfate is used in most toilet bowl cleaning
agents. It's also used. Extend the shelf life and bleach out
the discoloration of potato chips.
Leila: Potato chips.
David: I got a bone to pick with the food people of America,
people making food, okay, we need to stop worrying about what
something looks like
Leila: real. I want to eat something that is I am perfectly
David: fine with something being a little discolored, as long as,
like, like, okay, so, like, you're making chips, right? You
can stop using the stuff to bleach out the chips and just
put on the bag. Hey, look that. If it looks a little like this,
that's what it's supposed to look like. Put that on the bag.
People will be okay with it. I promise you, I
Leila: should order all of the ingredients that people make to
use strawberry like flavoring and make it better
David: by just using a third of it, yeah, or
Leila: using a little bit of different ingredients, because
this ethyl ethyl, methyl, finial, glennial, glyceate,
whatever is, like, 10 bucks on Amazon Oh, my heck, yeah, yeah,
I could totally make something out
David: of that. Yeah, you could, um, you could put, like, a tiny
that's how you make, like, strawberry shortcakes and stuff.
If you want this, the actual cake to taste strawberries.
Yeah, you would use that. So, um, you were talking about sand
earlier. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, they put sawdust and stuff
too, yeah.
Leila: Okay. There was this experiment some dude did on
YouTube, like three years ago or something. I think I saw it
during, like, the lockdown. But he took his friends and he made
a whole bunch of Rice Krispies Treats. But he had this bucket
of sawdust that he bought off of Amazon or something, and he
slowly and slowly, like, made the rice krispie treats with
more and more sawdust in them. So the first Rice Krispie treats
had no sawdust in them, right? They're just rice krispie
treats. The second ones had 10% the third had like 20% and it
just kept getting higher and higher until it was like 90% and
he wanted to make an experiment about how much sawdust Can you
put in food before people start to notice. Or how much so in
rice cookies? How
David: much did they notice? Like,
Leila: do you remember their results? 30 or 40%
David: they were like, This is really, this tastes really, a
lot like wood shop class. Yeah, I'm remembering, speaking of
which,
Leila: speaking of which, I have a friend that's taking um
agriculture right now, and he made one of those, like, burn in
a wood thing. And he made a picture of Tupac, but it looks
really wonky, and it just came up to me today. It was like, I
have the Tupac wood. I am cursing you. I was like, Oh my
gosh. Where did you get that? He was like, I made it. It was just
a really wonky picture of Tupac on a really darn piece of wood.
Tupac
David: is overrated.
Leila: Um, rip. He's overrated sawdust.
David: What are you looking at? A sawdust? Um, there was
another, another YouTuber. Um, somebody. I can't remember the
the situation, but basically he lost a bet. And he had bet that
if, if he would, if he doesn't win, he has to eat a door like
his, his bedroom door, he has to eat it. Oh, yeah. So he was
like, how am I gonna eat this without dying? So he figured out
how much he could put, like, into his food every day, like
just a little dusting of his door every single day until he
was done eating it. And you know, most doors, like interior
doors, are hollow, so there's really not a ton of material in
them. Enough as an exterior door, would be a whole different
situation. But he had to eat the hinges and everything. I don't
know if he did it, but apparently
Leila: this started off as a, like, science experiment, like
a, like a school what do you call it? Science Fair? Uh huh,
Whoa. That was like a whole new word for me. I haven't said that
in like five years, science fair. Science Fair, Geez, it's a
science fair experiment. It's really so I guess that's where
you got the idea from. Looks like 2008 maybe so
David: was. It was a science fair experiment, and then he
stole it for the video. Probably. All right. Anyways, so
we need to start doing we need to go to the local go to the
local middle school and, find some science fair projects and
just steal them and make videos.
Leila: What I was going to say is that cheese has a little bit
of sawdust in it, yeah, like Kraft macaroni and cheese. It
keeps the shreds from clumping up, not to name drop, but
David: the article says it so, yeah, so sawdust, sand. Bugs.
Leila: Speaking of craft, craft owns a lot of stuff. Yeah. Leila
is doing Yeah. I have a class that I had to do a bunch of
research about companies.
David: I told her. I told her she should do BlackRock.
Leila: I want to for my next assignment. I'm probably. Really
going to Yeah, that's we have to do, like, deep dives into
products and all of the lines that the companies have with the
products in them, stuff like that, and their
David: marketing tactics and things like that. It's a neat,
it's a neat, uh,
Leila: I'm doing Pepsi right now. Oh my gosh. They own
everything that, and Procter and Gamble and BlackRock, but you
David: gotta be quiet about those guys, yeah. Except for us,
we're uncancellable. Well, um, so tarzine is derived from coal
tar.
Leila: Oh yeah. Cold car sounds
David: like a, like a fantasy novel villain, coal tar. It's
like, get out your swords. We're going to fight coal tar. Um, but
yeah, orange, yellow and greenish foods and, uh, drinks
contained eyes derived from tartrazine, which is the coal
tar stuff, and it may cause hyperactivity in children. Oh,
that's fun. It's almost like we should be growing and harvesting
our own food locally with people that we know and trust, instead
of these companies, not to get you know, ideological about
things. Popcorn, according to some studies, butter flavored
microwave popcorn may be dangerous because it has a
chemical called diacetyl. Okay. So this one the diacetyl. I
remember when this came out, it's called popcorn lung. Or
people are very upset about popcorn lung, and they were
like, I'm gonna get popcorn lung from eating too much microwave
popcorn. Okay, the people that got popcorn long were the people
that worked in the factory. Oh, and they were inhaling the
powder itself. I don't think you should do that hours and hours a
day, every day, working on the factory line. They did. They
weren't wearing, uh, respirators. So they were just
inhaling this diacetyl directly, and it caused, it caused
problems, not your random, you know, microwave popcorn with a
tiny little trace of the stuff in it. But I still don't think
all these artificial things are great. I like the way they
taste. But, you know, yep,
Leila: I think it's about all I got. Yeah, I was looking at the
rest of
David: them, and the rest of them, and the rest of them are
pretty much just all these sites get the same couple of facts,
and, oh, there was one other one there's in gelatin. Gelatin is
not vegan because it uses animal skin and bones and connective
tissues, so like most of the parts that would be thrown away
when you're getting the meat off of an animal, they grind up and
turn into a gelatin. So a
Leila: lot of vegans use, like, agar instead of gelatin, right?
That's plant based, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. So it's like a
plant. What was that
David: a bummer? Mic, oh, on accident. It wasn't on purpose
this time. So this is a value for value podcast. We put the
show out there for free, and if you get some value out of the
show, maybe you you know you're having a conversation with some
folks, and you're like, Hey, I heard something on this amazing
podcast called funfactfriday Comrade. You know, that's an
opportunity to share some of the value with the folks out there.
And you can also share some value by sending us a boost in a
modern podcast app. And we have quite a few boosts here, and I
believe, let's see. Let's start with the oldest one. Yeah, we've
got Kevin Hallisey rhymes with fallacy from Episode 202,
Phantom time. Yes, it was an honor to it was. It was just in
honor of the continuing mystery of the 847, donations, meaning,
Oh, okay. Remember, we didn't know what that boost meant about
the mystery, okay? And he had sent it. There you go. Yeah.
That was 100 stats from fountain. Fountains, one of
those fancy apps you can use to boost if you sign up for an
account with them, like you earn SATs as you listen. So you can
listen to podcasts and earn SATs and then give those sets to a
different podcast. So, like you can take, you're not taking
money from that. Anyway. It's fountain.fm, it's a good app.
And then from fountain. Kevin Halsey, again, episode 202.
Phantom time. Nice show about the shared farce that is our
calendar 30 ish 30s. Farce. You don't like farce. I like that
word. No. Your mom doesn't like the word parse.
Leila: Maybe it's like genetics. What
David: is it with the arse? He
Leila: also doesn't like the word fart. Oh, no,
David: I'm leaving that in dreadful fill up they did
because I'm bald. So continuing with the boost 30 ish minutes is
a nice weekly dose for fun. Fact Friday, oh, we're going over
this week. Sorry, sorry, 847 for continuing the mystery.
Absolutely. Eight. 47
Leila: sets. That
David: was 847, SATs from fountain. There's
Leila: another 847, from Kevin hellasy, uh huh. Go ahead and he
says, I think I like the short shows. That is
David: excellent feedback. We definitely appreciate it. We
weren't sure, definitely like it or not. Yeah, we're trying to
keep them short, keep them especially under, like we just
hit 35 and we're sweating. We gotta get out of here,
literally, because it's warm out here. Um, and then another 847
from just listening a theory is only only the hypothesis left
standing. The two terms are often confused. I learned that
from the Dark Horse podcast. PS, I sent 847 cents first. PPS, 847
is a mystery so large I can hardly wrap my mind around it. I
oh and i unintention, vented it. Oh,
Leila: yeah, no. Okay, so
David: is that a clue?
Leila: They unintention, ventioned it. Unintentioned
David: it. Yeah. So, okay, so that makes me wonder if we need
to go back and listen to that episode and find out what 847
means, because that think that's the second time that just
listening has mentioned that episode. I
Unknown: may have to go back and maybe
David: there's
Leila: some message that he wrote to us eight minutes and 47
seconds. Yeah. Shado, right now,
Unknown: sure. All right, I'm
Leila: pulling it up fun fact. Or was it an EIGHT letter word
and seven letter word, that
David: could be it. But there's not a lot of eight letter words,
not that we say in our show, not transcript. Search episodes. I
went to funfactfriday com and click the episodes, and I can
see every single episode. Okay, so unintention vention, which is
I'm scrolling. It was 130 something, right? Sure, I
Leila: don't know. I don't keep track, I
David: guess. Oh, there it is, 158, okay, so I'm just gonna
turn it down, because I don't how loud that's gonna be. I'm
gonna jump to eight minutes and 47 seconds.
Leila: You have turned up.
Unknown: Hold on, Hello. Hold on,
David: I hit play, but it's got to pull it from the fighting in
school, and it was always me getting attacked, and started
the attacking. If
Leila: you record a fight at school, you get the same
punishment as people that were in the fight.
David: I think that's good. I think that because, like, the to
me, and you know, we're getting off the fun facts for a second,
but like, the clout chasing the, you know, wanting, wanting to
get clout off of a fight video or something like that. No, he's
pretty lame. Doesn't really, I don't think that's it. I was
worth wrong. It was worth the shot. I'm trying to look for
clues here. I think we've got a whole arg going. But yeah,
Leila: we thought we were making one, yeah. So just listen, it's
got a whole thing going on, maybe Kevin hellasy and just
listener in cahoots.
David: Oh no, we can't have our listeners being in cahoots
exactly,
Leila: speaking of which I didn't do my dual lingo over the
David: day. All right, everybody. We definitely
appreciate the SATs and the notes, especially the one about
short episodes. We're glad that that people are enjoying it. And
on that note, we're going to get out of here and keep it under 40
minutes. Y'all have a fantastic weekend, and let us know if you
have any other we have a couple more topic ideas from listeners
that we're going to be doing soon. So yes, keep sending them.
We appreciate it. Y'all have a fantastic weekend. Bye.
