Unknown: Hey guys,
David: that was we said exactly the same time. I
Leila: know we did. I'm sure the transcriptions will enjoy that.
David: Oh, robots. Robots are the worst. You know,
Leila: that's why today we're talking about birds. Yep,
David: because birds are definitely not robots, right?
Leila: Yep,
David: we'll talk about that later. Welcome to Fun back
Friday. We're a weekly, weekly podcast where we discuss facts
surrounding a different topic each week. We missed last week,
Leila: yeah, going on dentist appointment.
David: Got sick. It's been a week, uh, Leila had, man, you
had some some band stuff to do. Yeah, band, band, B, A N N, E,
D, but band, no, it
Leila: was B, B, A N N,
David: Ed the band. Band, yeah, no, y'all want a bunch of
trophies.
Leila: Oh, we did. Yeah,
David: it was awesome, and we had a good time. I ate, I ate
some really, really bad street tacos, and I ate and, oh my
gosh, let's talk about that before we get started. Leila has
there's this whole new thing.
Leila: What the new language, eat,
David: ate and cooked, okay,
Leila: and fried and baked. And what, what? Well,
David: there's even more. Sorry about the microphone handling
noise there.
Leila: Mainly fried
David: so eat an eight. Eat and eight are good things, right?
It's like,
Leila: Oh, hold on. Wait.
David: We we ate, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. So, what's
Eat? Eat
Leila: is the like the past tense, okay, the current, the
current tense of a present, present that's what it is.
Present tense, yes,
David: oh, wow. So, and then cooked can mean good or bad,
depending on the and
Leila: I honestly don't know when some people are using it if
they're meaning it good or bad. That yeah, it can. It could be
on our board for band. We have one of our competitions written
out, and it just says cooked with an exclamation Park beside
it. I don't know if that was written before or after the
competition, so I don't know if it means we're cooked or we
cooked, right?
David: If it's we cooked, then we did awesome. We did great.
We're cooked. It's very bad. Yeah, it's like, oh no, we're
done for like, like, we fell into hot lava. For our first
Leila: competition this season, my friend was like, Oh no, we're
not cooked. We're baked, or, like we're burnt, right? I love
that.
David: I'm caramelized over here. So this week we're gonna
be talking about birds, but we have few things real quick to
talk about beforehand. But like I said, it was got it. We just
had a lot going on. Yeah, last couple weeks, that's why we've
been so sporadic. But we're back in the swing of things, and
we're good. It is, it is, what's it called, parade season now? So
we're going into parade season, yeah, but yeah. So the other
thing I wanted to mention is it'll be concert season, and
then it'll be concert season, right? So the other thing I want
to talk about our episode of Better call daddy came out.
Finally, Episode, yeah, we, we went on rina's Show. Reena came
on our show, and we talked to her back in, what, February,
January, February, January, February, about a year ago.
Yeah, about so, you know, go listen to that. I've got a link
in the show notes. It's better call daddy is the podcast. It's
not always appropriate. For example, the guest who was on
after us on Episode 400 of better call daddy was Hunter
Biden's ex girlfriend. So that's a, you know, yeah, Reena, if you
remember, she used to work for the Jerry Springer show,
Leila: so she's on our show, right for the reality TV show,
talking about,
David: talking about reality TV and whatnot
Leila: and whatnot, so and not why?
David: Yeah, that go, definitely go check that out and let her
send her, put her review or whatever, learn, let her know we
sent you over from Fun Fact Friday. And yeah. So there we
go. So what I want to hop right into talking about the facts I
do too. I learned a lot on this one, the type of diet
Leila: a bird eats in the wild is directly related to the shape
of the bird's beak. Now, this obviously makes sense, because
you gotta, you gotta eat, yeah?
David: You gotta get if evolution what you're eating is
far away, you gotta get to it, right? Yeah.
Leila: And it's just so crazy to me how, like, an animal is built
perfectly for a situation they're in, yep. Like, I was
looking at a bird, and I was like, Yo, that's actually kind
of dope, because they have beaks that are perfect for eating the
food that they eat. Their wings. They don't need hands. What do
they need? Hands full. We got these banging up stuff, and they
don't need to pick up stuff.
David: We got. Why? Multi Tool mouths? I'm
Leila: not done.
David: We got sharp teeth. I'm not done. Okay?
Leila: They have feet for grasping onto telephone wires
that were obviously there when they were made. So that's all
they're for. They got a charge now, but we'll
David: talk about that later. But
Leila: they're, they're perfectly made for the
environment that they're in. And it's like, whatever type of bird
they are, there's birds in, like, the rain forest that are
perfect for the environment. You know, it's just really cool.
That's really cool. And that's not just with birds, it's with
all animals, pretty much. Yeah, perfectly designed,
David: yep, the whole environment is perfectly
designed to be in homeostasis with itself. Yeah, I learned
that word on the movie biodome with Polly shore. Hey, Polly,
when you coming on. We know
Leila: you watch the show. Actually, wait. He might listen.
Yeah, watch.
David: You watch
Unknown: Twitter. It is
David: following us on Twitter. That is so, yeah, clip this,
clip this part, and send it over to Polly on x. I actually hit
him up. I hit him up today on there and asked if he wanted to
come on again. So, yeah, okay, so birds. How many birds are
there? Species wise, 9500 different. Species, and they
grouped them into like 30 different categories. So
there's, there's a lot. Two thirds of those are they live in
the rain forests, like out in the tropical rainforest, yeah.
So you look at, you look at the rainforest birds, and there's
all kinds of crazy little birds. They got the they got the
toucan, they got the pirate, all kinds of it. One of the ones
that I didn't know this, oh, the two
Leila: cans, the one that eats the little, little circles that
are like colored different ways, and it tastes like fruit,
David: yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah. I was Yeah. I was reading
something while you were talking, yes, 100% they have
these little rings of fruit down in the rainforest. They're loops
of some kind.
Leila: I so I hear, yeah, I mean, so there is a bird
David: called a whole hatson hots. And really unique looking
bird
Leila: by Southern or wanted to call it a hotsian
David: hot Z and chicks, they have two, two claws on each wing
that fall off as they get older. But they use this when they're
when they climb out of their nest, and they use it to hang on
to mangrove trees. What go on is this in Minecraft,
Leila: mangrove trees are now in Minecraft, and they're pretty
dope. Oh, okay, yeah.
David: But these bird, these birds in real life, they hold on
to the mangrove trees, and once they become, I've never seen a
bird in real life, once they learn to fly, they're not really
good at flying, but they do mature, and they lose the claws
that they basically just use to hold on to stuff because they're
not great flyers. So
Leila: this is a very common fact that people, I think should
know, uh huh, or do know that flamingos are not born pink,
that they eat crustacean and plankton, plankton, and they get
the beta carotene in them, and it transfers to them. It makes
them think.
David: So we need some kind of filter that you can push the
button before you, because you've started doing that a lot
more singing a single word, no. And you need to have a button
that you can push right
Leila: before you reference. Hold on. So, oh, okay. It's
probably a really niche one, so I'm gonna pull
David: it up. Okay, so that's fine. Take your time. The
longest feather we've ever seen have been they were on a chicken
in Japan. Its feathers were 34.7 foot long. That's That's too
many, more than twice as long as the studio is that we're in
right now. Leila, oh, that's two of these studios. The one
feather was that long, 10.5 9m whatever that unit is
Leila: at the bottom. So you can play it. I don't want to hook up
on my Bluetooth.
David: Oh, yeah. We need to. You need to. Takes too long to do.
All right, so do I need to
Leila: return? Go ahead. I don't think it's fine to play on the
show. I doubt there's copyright on it,
David: yeah, but I'm just, I wanted to turn it down before
because I don't know how long it's gonna be. Go to the link. I
already did I turned it, yeah, but which sliders? I don't know
it's either, it's either this, this one or this one. I
Leila: fun. He just got a whole bunch of figures on a shelf.
David: Mr. Crab. This
Unknown: is so dumb. Squidward. Squidward.
David: Bird that you
Unknown: stepped on. The
David: whole thing stepped on the whole thing. No, oh, no,
Leila: what it was.
David: I used to know them. I used
Leila: to have that thing memorized. So that
David: was a nice detour. Do you remember that being shorter? For
some reason,
Leila: I guess I saw it sped up. And that's just the original. I
don't remember him talking that slow. It was just like Spongebob
splash, but like, it was very sped up as the way I remember
it. That's a very old Okay,
David: so we, we, I said that as two years ago, went over this
one. This is one of the ones that I love. We went over this
one on the phobias episode, whoa, way back. Yeah, there
someone who suffers from Anna. Tip day of phobia. Yeah,
believes that somewhere, somehow, a duck or goose is
constantly watching them. I remember, I remember it comes
from the Greek word and Anna today, which means ducks, geese
or other waterfowl, and Phobos, which is Greek for fear. So
that's one of my favorite bird facts, because and you know,
people have things wrong in their brain sometimes. And
that's just one of those ones that I'm like, wow,
Leila: that's a 23 because
David: it's not like they're necessarily even afraid of ducks
or geese. They're afraid that they're watching them. Yeah,
talking about flamingos, earlier you said that they're not pink,
the more there are more fake flamingos on Earth than real
ones.
Leila: I believe that Oh, my God. Everything reminds me of a
song at this point. You're in me. You got music. I'm in Music
Mode,
David: practicing music.
Leila: Oh my gosh, every day.
David: So, um, what's another one we get here? That's actually
really interesting.
Leila: A green woodpecker can eat as many as 200 ants per day.
David: Two kind of good for them per day. That's, I mean, they go
to town in our backyard because we got, oh
Leila: my goodness, not really, actually, no, sometimes
David: we get a, oh, no, what
Leila: did you do? It's back. It's fine. We
David: had a formatting error. Yeah, we did everything.
Leila: Just kind of split off. And there's like three versions
of everything, everything split
David: off, speaking of a splitting off, all right?
Disclaimer,
Leila: oh, no, this. Claim this,
David: this, this episode. Okay. This episode is landing on, um,
November 8 in the US here. We just had a big event. We just
had a presidential election. Now we don't typically get political
on this show. And Leila, I will 100% allow you to tell me if, if
you want to edit this out after the episode. So I get to edit
but I got one. I got I got a couple of things I need to say,
okay, and that's, that's just all I'm gonna say about it.
That's all. I
Leila: don't know if we're leaving that in. I might, I
might. Yes, you gotta edit on the stupid I will whatever.
David: You gotta take that all out.
Leila: Yes, absolutely not letting anyone know. You just
said,
David: Oh my gosh, it's the big thing. No, I am gonna say. I'm
gonna say one more thing. One more thing, everybody just needs
to be kind, whether your team calm down lost, whether your
team won, whether the everybody needs to just chill out and be
nice.
Leila: Oh, okay, so history class, right? I failed a test. I
am not telling what y'all what I got on this test, what it's
embarrassing episode. And look, he let us get some extra credit.
So I was like, score. And he was like, Okay, I don't know what to
do, so I'm just gonna give you all the same thing that I get my
civics class. Y'all have to take this map and y'all have to color
it in with either blue or red on what y'all think the states are
going to vote for. And we had one day to study for this, and
then the next day was, was Election Day, and we went to the
class and we colored this map right? I had studied a map the
previous day, and it turned out all of the predictions on that
map were right. So I got every single state right now,
obviously, as of recording this episode, and as of posting this
episode, Nevada and whatever the one below Nevada is Arizona,
David: oh no, they finished. They finished counting, yeah,
like, right now, they finished earlier today, I believe,
Leila: or, well, they hadn't as of history class, right? As of,
yeah, that you knew, but we just, we just assumed that they
were gonna be Republican, because they're mostly leaning
towards Republican. And I got every single one on the map,
right? I was one of three in this class, mainly because I
helped other people. I gave them this, I gave them this map, and
I was like, Yo, study this. This is what I think it's gonna be.
David: So now they think you're a genius, a political
Leila: genius, political genius. I got 20, what was that? What
noise? Um, they got. I got an extra 20 points on this test.
Good job. I'm so happy you still fail it. Uh, no,
David: okay, good.
Leila: I now have a better grade on this test. Okay, it's not
failing, though. Okay, good. As long as
David: you're not failing, long as long as you graduate on time,
I'm happy, yeah, I'll be good. I think, I don't think I gotta
worry
Leila: about currently, without even the extra credit, I do have
an 85 in his class. Okay, it's, we're good. All right, I'm good
David: passenger pigeons. Oh, yeah, before 1840 there were
1000s of millions. So that means billions of passenger pigeons in
North America. However, they were slaughtered for food until
there was only one left. In 1914 she died she was 12 years old. I
didn't they just civilians at a zoo in Ohio, because I don't
know Martha. I don't know. Yeah, Martha was the was the bird's
name, the last passenger pigeon.
Leila: What do they look like?
David: I don't know. Probably pigeons, probably, they probably
look just like pigeons. I don't know
Leila: if there's another list, but did you know that pigeons
were like, um, domesticated. Hold on. I Okay, wait, I
realized how much of a bird nerd I am. Hold
David: on. This. No, this. Like the website, I
Leila: love birds.
David: They're pretty dope. One of the the website, that's bird
facts in the show notes, has all. We're not going to read all
of them, um, but it has so many interesting facts about birds. I
was like, this is fascinating, because I didn't go looking for
this of just pigeon domestication.
Leila: Pigeon domestication was believed to have occurred over
5000 years ago, with evidence of pigeon domestication appearing
in Mesopotamian, yep, tablets and ancient hero hieroglyphics,
rock dove, or rock pigeon, is considered the ancestor of the
domestic pigeon. So they domesticated pigeons, and they
were probably for their meat and then their droppings for
fertilizer, but they were made as like pets, or kind of how,
like cows are domesticated now, but they're just kind of like
rats. Yeah, people see them as like rats. They're flying rats
now, and it's so sad, well, but also, we've kind of evolved to
not need them as much as we used to. Yeah, we've got a titanium
area. We've Yeah,
David: we've got a lot more efficient ways of making meat.
Pigeons are dope pigeons, because you don't get a lot of
meat off a pigeon, yeah, but they, back in
Leila: the day, there's a whole bunch of them. Also, they do,
David: oh, what's it called? I thought it was a neat little
fact, messenger pigeons. They would tie messengers, messages
to their to their leg, and send messages out. Carrier pigeons,
messenger pigeons, carrier pigeons, carrier pigeons. Yeah,
Leila: I think you call them anything. I mean, I'm gonna use
that as my buffalo next time we do that, because we have this
thing called high low buffalo now that, yeah, it's
David: pretty in class. No neat thing to do with the family or
with a class or group of some kind. So like
Leila: my teacher will point us, point one of us out. My band
director will point one of us out and be like, Hi, love
Buffalo. Go and you say a high point your day, a low point your
day, and a random fact, either that you learned that day, or
they just know. And I think it's pretty neat. And it's really
neat because Leila so many Leila
David: knows so many facts because she is her job, but,
yeah, we've been, we've kind of been doing that betwixt the
three of us in the family recently, too. You know, we're
sitting down to dinner. We're in the grocery store. I'm just
because the bold
Leila: strike thing that I have to click, it makes my eyes hurt.
David: I have to click the dots. Yeah, to do bold on our software
we use as we're reading the facts, we're marking through
them. I was bolding them and she's strike throwing them. Have
you ever seen a movie the birds by Alfred Hitchcock? Nope. Okay,
so there's this movie called The birds, and Alfred Hitchcock made
it in 1963 the actress in it, the main actress, was Tippi
Hedren. She was attacked by birds in the movie. That's like
the plot of the movie spoilers. They attached birds in. Uh, like
real birds to her clothes by with long nylon threads so they
couldn't fly away. And they, like, actually attacked her. Oh
yeah, Alfred Hitchcock apparently didn't like her for
some reason, or he was just trying to get the most authentic
bird attack he could get on film. And it was like it was a
whole big scandal back then because of the way that he
treated Tippi Hedren. I actually just saw that on a YouTube video
about directors who took it too far. And it was, it was
interesting, but yeah, they actually tied birds to her, to
do that and to make the birds not be able to fly very well or
just stand around. They fed the birds a mixture of wheat and
whiskey. Oh, so they got the birds drunk so they wouldn't fly
around too much. Wow, when they needed the bird. Because, you
know, birds, because, you know, birds, you can't really train
just a whole big old thing of seagulls, you know, yeah, so you
got them drunk. I thought that was, that was funny. So I want
Leila: to go on a little rant about, uh, Latin prefixes right
David: in the middle of the birds episode. Yeah. Okay, so
this is what got
Leila: me thinking about it. The word Falcon is from the Latin
word falx. Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Unknown: Leila rat,
Leila: thank you so much. Parkour Parker, the word Falcon
is from the Latin word falx, meaning curve, blade, pruning
hook, sickle and war size. Now this got me thinking about oh,
Latin prefixes. So I learned something this week, the word
the Latin word Grex there. Okay, you know how everybody was a
shepherd back in the day? Literally everybody, literally
everybody was a shepherd. So sheeps became a very important
part of their language. Like you'd you talk about sheep a
lot. Grex is the noun that refers to a flock, herd, or a
drove of animal, a drove of animals, mainly used to describe
cattle, sheep or horses. Now they would say a whole bunch of
stuff, like about people with the word Grex, so they say,
like, what all these mean? So, like, Congress is from the word
Grex, meaning like congregate, which is also a word that comes
from Grex just to, like, herd together, okay, which is really
cool. Also the words gregarious, egregious, like egregious
meaning outstanding from the flock. Gregarious, also meaning
like flock. What does gregarious mean? What does gregarious mean?
Oh, I can relate it to sheep, like I've said it before, and I
know you have understand it, but I know what, what does Greg
Gary, yes, fact checking live on fun. Fact not Heisman, various,
it should seeking and enjoying the company of others, tending
to move the green groups, not densely clustered or mattered
so, yeah, gregarious, uh, separate and aggregate are also
from the prefix or from the from the word Gregs. I don't know if
I'm using prefix right, but it's just really cool how they would
use things in like everyday language that developed into our
language that we still use today. It
David: is, you know what also is used by the field fair bird.
It's feces. Oh, it can kill an enemy bird. The field fair bird
has a special way to attack its enemies. They gang up on it,
make it fly to the ground, and then the field fair birds fly
into the air and poo on them, and the poo kills the other
bird. All right, poo attack. Oh, that's a, that's a, that's a,
that's an ISO, right there
Leila: a flock of ravens is called an unkindness, yes, or a
conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy of ravens. That's
pretty dope.
David: Speaking of Congress with your Grex thing, yeah, Congress
is the alternate term for a large number of crows. You know,
normally it's a murder of Crooke political figures. Yeah. Oh,
wow. Um,
Leila: this is pretty good episode. Yeah. I gotta rant a
lot, so I'm happy, right? And, I
David: mean, the facts, I'm like, some of these are really
interesting. I like birds. Did you know that a bald eagles nest
is they? They're big. I mean, obviously, because. It's a very
large bird, but like one second,
Leila: she knows that a pea is neither a pea. No, does she know
that a peanut is neither a pea nor a nut? It's a legume. What
is that from?
David: That is from an episode of Third Rock from the Sun.
Dang. It.
Leila: Okay, yeah, um,
David: Laurie Metcalf's character says it Yeah, over and
over and over. So that's kind of the joke the bald eagle. Yeah, I
was, I had a I had an issue, kind of taken care of, though,
the bald eagle can. They found one of their nests was 10 foot
wide and it weighed almost three tons. That's 6000 pounds. I
pounds of nest. Yeah, they're typically about nine foot wide.
So that that, that's pretty big.
Leila: That's more heavy than I think it should be.
David: That is, that is part, the part that interested me, to
three tons. What is that made out of? Man,
Leila: you can't measure that. That's
David: nothing's ever been that heavy before. Man,
Leila: nothing's ever been that heavy before. Here's
David: the line I was looking for. It was right above that
one. So talking about a congress of crows,
Leila: no ravens or No, yeah, Congress
David: or a Murder of Crows. A group of owls is called a
parliament, a wisdom or a study. And a group of flaming
flamingos, of course, is a flamboyance. Yeah, we talked
about, we've talked about that on previous episodes. We
Leila: had like a, did we have an episode that was groups of
Yes, it was what groups are called. We were talking about,
or owls today on a bus with my friend. She was like, I really
want an owl. I'm like, no, no, to kill you. Yes. And I was, she
was like, no. And she looked it up, and she was like, they can
be aggressive, but there's only been, like, two people that have
died, and I'm like, still I'm here. There
David: was a whole like, it was here in North Carolina, some
famous person went to jail because they say he murdered his
wife. But there was so much evidence that it was an owl,
like, there was, like, all this evidence there was an owl, but
he still, he still went away for it. I can't remember the name,
guy's name, but birds, being birds and all, you kind of
wonder what they're up to sometimes, right? Yeah, so I
looked into it. They could trade
Leila: you a nut for a draw tuna.
David: Yes, there are some birds that will trade you items. Yeah.
There's one guy, I want to say, a couple years ago at a YouTube
channel or something. And he had a bird that would come and he
would, they would take, he would take his spent cigarette butts
away and bring him money. Nice. And I was like, wow, infinite
money glitch. Like, it's
Leila: like those, um, monkeys in those countries that will
steal stuff from people. Yeah, they train,
David: they train the little, cute monkeys to just go up and
steal from tourists. Yeah. Oh, the tourist like, oh, that silly
monkey. He's just gonna take my purse and go into the woods with
it. Nope, he's going right back over to the town. And they're
selling the purse. They're selling anyway. But yeah, the
birds, I'm still there was something fishy about them. So I
started looking into it, and I found out some super secret
info. Oh, birds aren't real, yep, all this stuff we've been
saying. That's some timing that was, that was on point. Leila,
excellent job. Thanks. As three points for Gryffindor, or
whatever that is. Now there is a guy or a whole group, I guess,
that came up with the idea that birds aren't real that. Well,
I'll let you, I'll let you listen to No. I actually love
this
Leila: website. Yeah,
David: the birds aren't real calm, yeah? But my favorite
thing, there's a link in the show notes. It's birds aren't
real. There's a birds aren't real, and a birds aren't
real.com. And the birds aren't real. Link is a YouTube video.
Y'all should go watch. I would play it, but it's like, four
minutes long. And basically, this kid goes out and he's
talking about the birds aren't real movement, and he kind of,
it's, it's very, very good. He's very good. Like media trained.
He's, he knows how to act on cameras. Very Funny Video.
Definitely recommend checking that out. Sorry. Pelicans
fascinate me. Oh, the birds. The birds aren't real movement.
Well, that is real quick. Just the idea, I just
Leila: it's completely hot dogs. I
David: was like, what? Yeah, my brain. My brains anyway, so the
birds aren't real. Basically, what they're saying is that
birds in the 70s, I believe, were replaced, maybe the 60s
were all killed and replaced by the government. With drones that
are recording and listening to us at all times. Yeah, and why?
They go up and land on the telephone wires and the power
wires, because they have to charge their batteries up
because they're, you know, they're drones. I love it. It's
one of my favorite conspiracy theories.
Leila: Have you ever heard of a shoe Bill stork?
David: No,
Leila: maybe the scariest thing in the world. What? Okay.
Unknown: Oh yeah. Look
Leila: at this guy. They're huge. They're scary. They make
weird noises with their build. They look like animatronics. I
don't believe in them. Yes,
David: they're not real. They look like something out of a
movie, like,
Leila: can you look it up? The sound that they make look oh my
gosh. How do you how do you spell shoe Bill shoe, oh, shoe
Bill Bill space. Space Stork,
David: So, s, p, A, C, E, space or just,
Leila: no, just with the space bar,
David: shoe bore, shoe shoe or, okay, a shoe Bill Stork, that is
hard to say, a shoe Bill story, no, the clattering after it.
Okay, so here's what it sounds like. Oh, this isn't too loud.
Leila: Oh, it's scary. Oh, my god, yeah,
David: okay, it's only 18.
Uh, fascinating,
Leila: terrifying. Oh my gosh. If I ever saw one real life, I
would run away. They're humongous. They're scary. Their
eyes have nothing behind them. Their legs are just little
twigs. Their legs are little twig sticks, and they look like
that, that they look very scary. What do they eat? Humans?
David: Probably they look like they eat humans. They do. It
looks like something out of a horror movie.
Leila: It does. Hold on. Look at what they eat, fish, amphibians,
reptiles, small mammals and water. Birds. What? Okay, this
is terrifying. Anyways, they're not real.
David: Birds aren't real, yeah.com, they sell shirts. It's
fun. It's actually my fun conspiracy theory. If it flies,
it spies. If it flies, it spies. So this is a value for value
podcast, much better than our last episode. I'm feeling like,
what do you think?
Leila: Yeah, so that our last episode was terrible. Now, we
got a lot
David: of feedback. A lot of folks said that it was not that
bad. Well, got some got some good feedback on that one
actually said it wasn't good. So we got, we are value for value
podcast, which means we put the episodes out for free. Put all
of our content out for free if you enjoy it, if it's something
that you enjoy and you get some value out of it, feel free to
return that value back to us. We actually recently went, there's
a new show coming out about podcasting 2.0 and we were one
of the first guests, and we talked about value for value
with Claire. And I think you remember Claire from our
previous episode. We went on her show, and that's coming out
soon. I believe there might be a trailer for it coming out soon
too. Anyway, it's got all the podcasting 2.0 folks on it. And
value for value means you can return to value however you see
fit time, talent or treasure, if you have time to help us out,
like Dreb Scott, and help us out with the chapters and the
transcripts and everything, we appreciate that Dreb As always.

David: then we've got some value for value sent through the
stream, Satoshi streaming. Satoshis. We we see the streams.
We don't typically mention those, though, but we do see it.
We do appreciate it. And then we had some boosts before seven.
Let's start. Let's start at the older one. Okay, started the
older one here, the from fountain one week ago for
Episode 175 beatbox. Boxing with Parker Kane.
Unknown: Leila rant. That's
Leila: Parker Kane. He's
David: pretty dope. That's Parker king. He's awesome.
Here's an episode 175 go back and listen to it. And this is
one guy, Kevin Hallisey, rhymes with fallacy. After listening a
couple of times, I was struck by how nice Parker is. Yes, Parker
is an extremely nice guy. I had a very good time with him down
in Orlando at podfest last year. Okay, so back into back in the
thing, yeah, after listening a couple times, I was struck by
how nice Parker is. The talk about working on a children's
book with a good author got me thinking about how blending and
beatboxing with education might just trigger real learning and
confidence, perhaps even to the point of enjoying, of enjoyment
in kids who are being labeled as illiterate or dyslexic. That's
That's true. I know that many people learn differently, and
for some, an out of the box approach might be a real
breakthrough. That's very true. And actually, I will, I'll make
sure Parker, I don't know if he's still checking his his
Satoshi wallet, but I'll shoot him a message with this on it.
And maybe, if he's kind of put down the back burner, maybe
he'll, he'll rethink about it. I haven't, haven't been in touch
with them in a while. But yes, thank you. That was 4321
Satoshis, which is worth a lot more than it was a couple weeks
ago. Bitcoins on the rise.
Leila: It is, it is, it's
David: going I like it. And then we got 888, from Kevin Hallisey,
yeah, for Episode 206, worst episode ever. The name of the
name of the episode.
Leila: Wait, you gotta read it. I didn't know the actually
needed. Worst episode ever. Yeah.
David: Did you see the artwork? Yeah, don't
Leila: nobody need no facts. Show 206 delivered fun on
Friday. And historical jokes are every bit as funny as they ever
were or weren't,
Unknown: right? Some
David: of them was just like. Some of them were just
Leila: lame. What do you mean?
David: What do you mean?
Leila: What do you mean? 888, and then 847, the thing we don't
know what means yet. We'll figure it out one day, one day,
maybe something that's like, super obvious, right? Just
listen and says, Hey, been a while since I boosted weird
ingredient is always a fun topic. Have you ever done an
episode about my favorite mammal that was on a weird ingredient?
Episode 204, about
David: my favorite mammal. Well, just listening. Is
Leila: that a clue? What is your favorite what's your favorite
mammal? I
David: don't know.
Leila: Is it a bird? See now, I
David: got to go back and look through all of just listeners to
see if I can find if there's another bird about what the
favorite mammal birds aren't mammals. No, birds are not
mammals. Not why aren't
Leila: they? Oh, egg.
David: Why are birds mammals? Egg, what
Leila: are they? What are birds? Bird?
David: On our fact, fact based episode about birds? What? What
are birds?
Leila: They're not what are they? Hold on vertebrate.
They're vertebrate animals. They're vertebrates. Yeah,
David: they're egg laying.
Leila: What were vertebrates? Yes, but we're, they're warm
blooded. We're warm blooded. Yes. Am I a bird?
David: Maybe? Oh, no. They're just, I can't remember. I can't
remember. Hold on, let me. Let me see if I can use the find
function here. No,
Leila: I know. There's like a there's like a circle chart of
what everything is. And they're just not in the mammal circle,
but they're still vertebrates. But like the mammal circles
inside the vertebrates circle and verb rates is like, over
here. We don't talk about invertebrates on
David: this show. Man, we don't like the murder vertebrates over
here. So one of the facts I found was really neat is about
kiwis. I know we're kind of done with Oh, thank you everybody for
donating. We definitely, definitely appreciate
everything. But Kiwi don't know their nostrils are the end of
their beak, nostrils, and it helps them sniff for food. Birds
have nostrils. These do. Actually, all of them do.
They're just normally towards their face, yeah, oh
Leila: yeah,
David: it's at the end of
Leila: the beak from the regular so,
David: like, you gotta think, when they go dip their face in
water to get some water, they're like, putting their nose in the
water too. And I'm just like, that seems like this seems like
a problem. Yeah, I don't like it. Why is DoorDash texting me,
that's what they all the time. Order some food, All right,
everybody. I think we're gonna wrap it up. We're running really
long. Oh, well, not as long because you you're probably
gonna cut out that whole political part, yeah.
