David: Hola, Howdy, y'all to silly speculation Saturday. Oh,
oh, I hope, I hope new listeners aren't deterred by that we
aren't like that that's not our, that's not us. Oh, wow. Welcome
to Fun fact, Friday's silly speculation, Saturday episode,
Leila: where podcast,
David: yeah, we're our we are the, actually the only podcast
in existence since 1942 we are the only podcast. Yeah, this is
my understanding. Yeah.
Leila: We don't know about any other podcast. If you find one,
let us know.
David: My mom like we're the only podcast that she knows
about. Yeah, she doesn't. We're the only one. Hey everybody, we
were. We didn't do an actual show last week. We did a no show
show.
Leila: No Show.
David: Boy, appreciate everybody sticking around for this week.
We do have a bit of an announcement. We
Leila: do. It's a big announcement. It's
David: a big announcement. Fun fact, Friday in its current
form, will be, how do you say it sun setting soon,
Leila: it will be rebirth as
David: something new. Yes, we're gonna have a new format. It's
gonna be a little less kid friendly. Yeah, we're still not
gonna get raunchy or gross or anything like that or rude,
Leila: but we're gonna stop caring as much as we do about
making it family friendly, right? It's like we're not Ultra
censoring ourselves, that we can't talk about anything, ever
political or anything like that,
David: right? We want to be able to like, call it fun fact,
Friday, unencumbered, yeah, unencumbered by what has been
Leila: or do stuff like that. But we are shifting what this
show is and will be,
David: right. And you may love it. You may hate it. We hate to
lose you, if, if you, we do lose you during the the move over to
the new format, but we, we invite you to at least give us a
try for a little while. It might be a little rocky, because, you
know, we've been doing this for four and a half years now.
Leila: So what are we planning on, kind of making the show, I
feel like not a
David: reaction channel, no, but I do want to, like, talk about,
maybe some current events that are happening and just give I
would like it to be kind of like our opinions from
Leila: our two different generations, and like in our
mindsets, right? We
David: are very similar in how we think, like the process of
thinking, but she has raised in different worlds, exactly,
completely different worlds. Back in my day, not getting I'll
go into that really bad cough right now, the newer episodes,
yeah, and I just lit two incense matches. So, yeah, it stinks in
here. It is. Stinks in here, but it's
Leila: like, it's like, the enzyme stink. It's really good.
But, yeah, we
David: invite you to stick around, or we'll be changing our
art. We may actually take a couple of weeks off to get
everything squared away. But I want to be able to have, like, I
want to be able to have guests on and talk about things and and
really maybe dig deep into some some things that are maybe a
little more adult, you know, we'll see how it goes. We may
end up coming back to this format, but we feel like, since
we only have two episodes left of this format, I feel like
we've, I went back and looked through our transcripts, and
we've, we've covered literally every fact that exists almost.
We have about two episodes
Leila: worth of facts, every single thing that you could
know, you know because of this podcast, like
David: when, when they're getting the the satellites ready
to send all of human knowledge into space,
Leila: there's a hard drive with all of our show on it, yeah,
yeah.
David: And just hope that they donate some Stan, some stats to
us for, uh, for the trouble. If
Leila: they don't, I Gosh,
David: anywho this week was the last two weeks, actually, I've
been kind of crazy. Leila is and won't stop for a little while.
Yeah, Leila is band. They're just always doing something.
It's always something the football team just kept winning,
so that the season got extended and extended because playoffs
and all that kind of stuff. Then we lost, and then finally they
lost. So no more football game.
Leila: Kind of glad, because if we had one, we it just keeps
going, like every Friday it would be eaten up for eternity,
for eternity, the rest of my life, playing band for the
David: football team, football team. But yeah, it's we've been,
we've been real busy, and I'm working on a few other new
projects. Also, we got to get the details nailed down on that.
But I'm going to be, hopefully, doing a tech channel. It's going
to be video. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of video I
want to do, whether it be YouTube, self hosted. I'm
leaning towards self hosted, but also posting on YouTube just for
the eyeballs, but sending everybody from YouTube to the
self hosted to be like, Hey, make sure you got my book, my
site bookmarked, in case I say something that gives me banned.
Yeah. Because that, yeah, it could happen. But yeah, so this
week you. Is, what
Leila: are we doing this week? Natural remedies.
David: We had remedies. We had a boost. A little while back
talking about grounding, and I've been looking into it,
grounding or earthing, and I've been looking into it, and it,
wow, it kind of checks out. Yeah, the I wanted to look for
any studies. And what grounding or or earthing is, is when you
touch the earth, like, not not a man made thing, but like the
dirt, like you go outside and touch grass. I know that's a
meme, like a joke, like it's again, like an insult, but it
apparently does have some positive effects on you.
Apparently, I went and looked at the nih.gov and since it's
a.co.gov website, it's 100% reliable. Well, in every
way.com,
Leila: you never know. Well, it.gov's so
David: everything on it is 100%
Leila: the truth. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And this totally
before we get started. This
David: is a silly speculation Saturday episode, so
Leila: we do get a little more speculatory speculator. Yeah, we
David: talk about some things that may not exactly be facts,
but we definitely wanted to give a disclaimer. Nothing we say on
this episode should be construed as medical advice. We are not
doctors yet, so don't be don't take anything. Hey, I don't
know. You're 14. You've got plenty of time to go doctor.
I've
Leila: got less time not want to come to the medical. No,
David: oh my god. So it's so messed up. I'm so against it. So
this, I live for another show, yes, for another show after the
switch, after the switch over. So we, I looked into the
National Library of Medicine on NIH and they have a study about
the effects of grounding or earthing on inflammation, the
immune response wound healing and the prevention of treatment
of chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases. So
basically that they did a study, and they had the study
participants do grounding. And the way that they did the
grounding was they hooked a wire to the ground, like put a metal,
metal spike in the ground, and then ran a copper wire, and
then, like, taped the ends of the copper wire, copper wire to
the the participants of the study, some of the wires were
placebo. They weren't connected to the ground, and in pretty
much every study they did, the medical effects of your body
being electrically connected through skin contact or through
a wire or whatever, to the earth actually does have marginal
health benefits, so I, being a scientist, decided to buy a
grounding mat. That's not true, by the way. What? No, I'm a
scientist. You're
Leila: a scientist. Yeah,
David: I'm not credentialed in any way. Yeah, if you follow the
scientific method, then you then you can call yourself a
scientist. That's so odd. So well, it's just like a
professional or not, sorry, an expert. Yeah, call yourself an
expert. Call yourself an expert in anything. Call yourself lots
of things. You can call yourself. So this, this study on
the nih.gov has there a little diagram of a sheet with cotton
fibers, and it's grounded through the wall down to the
ground. And the people who slept on the sheet said that they
slept better, way more than just placebo. They said that their
pain, like just body pain, joint pain, stuff like that, went
down. They felt less pain, just in general, when they grounded
regularly. So I was like, huh, this is interesting. So, I mean,
I've heard about this over the years, people saying stuff. And
I was like, it kind of kind of makes sense. So basically, there
are these electrons on the surface of the earth, and then,
and like, there's just an abundance of them, and there's
they help us heal. They help the body, just in a myriad of
different ways. I didn't I'm not going to get too deep into the
science stuff of it, but it does look scientifically sound that
touching the earth scientifically ground is
scientifically ground. Oh my god. It's terrible. But I
thought it was funny. It's very funny. It helps, it helps with
stuff. So I'm going to take this grounding mat, and what I'm
going to do is I'm going to put it on the ground and I'm going
to plug it, it plugs into the wall, like, into the wall
socket, just to the grounding port of the wall socket. And
basically you take your shoes off, take your socks off, put
your feet on it, like, while you're at the computer, or while
you're sleeping. You can put it like wherever the skin is going
to touch it in the bed, and it's supposed to help you sleep. It's
supposed to help with inflammation and pain. It also
helps healing wounds, is what they're saying. So I went and
watched a YouTube video on it, and one of the one of the
ladies. On it was a medical doctor. She's a general
practitioner, and she said that her, her um kid, after the kid
was born was always, always like screaming, like they were in
pain, right? She's always crying, except for when the
doctor was barefoot, out in her lawn, carrying the
Leila: baby. Maybe that's wrong with me. You never wanted to
touch ever as a child, ever wanted to touch them. Still,
really don't, right? You
David: hate where you hate wearing flip flops in the yard.
I do.
Leila: I need to have full shoe like, exactly, boots and
David: cats. That's what
Leila: Leila boots and cats, both of them, boots
David: and cats. And boots and cats. That's what's wrong with
me. Yep, if you never touch the earth. But I was thinking about
it. I'm like, I don't It's been forever since I've touched
earth. Like the last time I can think was when I was digging the
trench to run the electrical or the internet out here. I got
down and used my hands to move some of the dirt out of the way.
And I was like, that's probably the last time my skin touched
the earth. And before that, I don't even remember. So I'm
gonna think I'm gonna try this. I think I'm gonna try every day,
just touching the ground, either through that that mat I bought,
or a grounding bracelet that used when you're repairing
electronics, or actually going out and touching the actual
Earth. I think I'm gonna try it for a little while and see if I
notice anything else. Notice anything else. Notice anything
different, I'm going to cut my leg open with a big rusty knife,
and then see if, see if it heals better with the ground. Don't do
that, please. Hey, kids, don't. Don't follow my example. No, I'm
not going to do that, but I do have, I do have a cut on my leg
already. I'm gonna see if, see, if I notice any difference in
the time it takes to heal.
Leila: One of my friends got cut by a rusty staple while opening
one of the instrument cases the other day. It was what scary
this
David: kid caught up on their tetanus shots,
Leila: we don't know, oh, no, that's the problem. He was like,
oh,
David: tetanus is like the only one that I'll take while I go
get a shot for if scary, if I do something that I feel like I
need to go get one. I think, I think I'm actually due again. So
if I cut myself, I'm gonna go, maybe go take care of that.
Anyway, the grounding thing might be worth looking into, and
it don't cost you nothing. You don't have to go buy a mat or a
grounding bracelet or any fancy sheets. You can just go outside
and touch grass.
Leila: We hate going outside. No, it's just really cold.
David: It's right now is very cold. We went to the football
game last night. Oh my god, the wind was blowing. It was 41
degrees, and the wind was blowing like 35 miles an hour,
Leila: and we had plumes on so our heads were just we were
wanting to fall over. We were gonna fall over in the cold. It
was so bad. We usually walk out to do Star Spangled Banner, but
we walk out before then, like 15 minutes before. So we all
huddled up. But you're outside 30
David: minutes before, because we got there 30 minutes early
and we walked right past y'all when you're tuning up,
Leila: we have to warm up and play through some crap outside
before we go out. So it was still we were outside for like,
an hour before we had to actually, like, sit down. And
the wind
David: was just blowing. It was crazy, and our hats were falling
off. So the other, the other thing we wanted to talk about
were just, like, some, some natural remedies, yeah, and
again, like, we don't know if all these work. I know that some
of them do, and I'll kind of mention them as, I think of them
as aloe vera for burns. Yeah, aloe vera is, like, fantastic
for anything related to your skin. Oh, yeah, absolutely. But
we found a couple of sites. They're in the show notes, and
they're big old lists of things naturally, your nana has an aloe
vera plant. I know. Why don't we just steal her? Yeah,
Leila: come on, don't kill it. I'm so bad at taking care of
succulents. They're supposed to be like, super easy to take care
of, but I hate I'm terrible at
David: it. Yeah, we're not very good. My mom's the want the
green thumb.
Leila: So have a Monstera that I've kept alive for about a year
now, and I'm very happy about that.
David: Why? One of the ones that I know is a bee sting.
Leila: I'm on the same one.
David: Oh yeah, the bee sting. Yeah. I like the bee sting. One
you apply i If you get stung by a bee, apply ice to it. And it
says, remove the stinger and apply ice. Now, to remove the
Stinger, one of the best ways to do that, and this is from
personal experience, is it, uh, get a hold of some tobacco and
put the tobacco on it, and the tobacco will cause the stinger
to back out of your skin. I had that happen one time when we
lived in Texas, I got stung, and my dad, uh, had some pipe
tobacco, and he just put a big wad of it on the stinger and
just pushed it on there, and the stinger like backed its way out.
So he'd get it and yanked it the rest of the way out, and then
you put baking soda on it. You just make a little mixture of
baking soda and water like a paste, and put it on the sore
area, and it'll dry. And yeah, but it
Leila: also says meat tenderizer, yeah, Baking soda
David: is meat tenderizer, yeah. When I
Leila: saw this first, I thought of that big hammer with the
spikes on. I was like, problem, bee sting. Try meat tenderizer.
Like,
David: what do you mean? That's fantastic.
Leila: I saw this, like, right as you were saying, beasting.
And I was like, Huh? Like, I was terrified. I'm not gonna hit
myself with a hammer because I got stung by a bee. Oh
David: no, look at number eight on the one we're on.
Leila: Oh my gosh. I saw that while I was researching. So,
David: all right. Problem diarrhea, try cooking, cooking
water, Cooking Mama, so, gosh, I boil brown rice and oatmeal in
twice the amount of water that you normally use and then strain
when the water is cool, drink it the water contains electrolytes.
It's what plants grave that are often lost when you have
diarrhea. So replacing the electrolytes can be a problem.
One of the things about super healthy and cutting out all the
salt in your diet is sometimes you miss out on
Leila: electrolytes. You know what really gets my
David: goat? What really gets your go
Leila: the word diarrhea. You want to know why cha? Cha, cha.
How do you spell it? How do you spell diarrhea?
David: DIA, A, D, I, A, R, R, H, isn't there? Oh, in there
somewhere? Though, diarrhea?
Leila: No, yeah, but like, I've heard it with an O, diarrhea.
People
David: saying stuff wrong, just like photographer, not
photographer. So
Leila: many people say library in the last couple months,
David: library is a commonly misspoken, misspoken word.
That's a that's I eat in
Leila: the library. I eat lunch in the library. And, like some
people say library, like, What
David: do you mean? You know why she eats lunch in the library?
Because
Leila: I'm gonna lose or can't eat lunch with the cafeteria.
David: They kicked me out. No, it's because you were walking
past the library, the library one time and saw some people
playing Nintendo Switch in there.
Leila: Yes, it's so fun. Look. And I know the people playing
the switch, so I didn't care. I walked in there and I was like,
What are y'all doing? And they're like, we spend lunch in
here. And I'm like, That's dope. Yeah, yeah. We
David: used to. I used to sit outside at lunch. So, yeah, I
didn't like cafeteria. It was too much going on. There's too
much going on in the cafeteria. Oh my gosh. So let's go with
some more tiny Let's go. Why don't you read a few problems
and solutions, hives,
Leila: oatmeal bath. Now, I found another one for hives. Is
witch hazel. I've had highs before, and just put witch hazel
on everything. And it's just amazing. It works like a charm,
yeah. But if you
David: don't have any witch hazel and you do have some
oatmeal
Leila: exactly, put it in put it in the bath, put it in the bath.
I've
David: done the baths of a couple of different things for
different conditions I've had. I know that this one sounds weird,
but I did a extremely hot bath, like, my skin was like red when
I got out, because it was so hot, but it was extremely hot
bath. And I put, Oh, what did I put in? I put a lot of salt, of
some salt and garlic. And I know that sounds weird, and I can't
remember what other plant. I put some other plant in there, but
it was all stuff that was supposed to ward off infection,
because I had a skin infection from a sword that had gotten
infected, and I just took a super hot bath with lots and
lots and lots of ground up garlic in it, and it smelled
delicious. I
No, it worked, though it I smoked like garlic for like, two
or three days afterwards. I would not, I know, but it took
care. It knocked the infection right out. So it was some good
stuff, all right. So what else you got?
Leila: Um, I have, oh, baking soda for bee stings. That's on
another list. So it's totally right. It's on two different
David: sources, on two different sources that probably copied
each
Leila: other. A couple of these. I feel like it wouldn't work,
but I bet it does, like lemon on burns. I feel like that would
just hurt. That
David: would hurt so bad, but it might work. Probably does. It's
probably
Leila: like, anti infection. So what does it
David: say about it? Does it as an paragraph, or is it just it?
Leila: Is it just Oh? It says this juice from the lemon will
stop the burning sensation. However it, once it's removed,
the burn will return. So it's just like water. Just put water
on. Oh,
David: no, never water. Never water. What? No, not water on a
burn. No. What do you mean? Don't like it. So what do you do
if you have a cough and no medicine? Live with it. Deal
with it. Honey.
Leila: No, I hate honey.
David: I know, but it's medicine. I. But so there is a
take the medicine, a Cough Remedy. And I've, I've done this
one before, and it actually doesn't taste too bad. The cough
is, it's apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper and cinnamon. You
mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in into eight
ounces of hot water, add a sprinkle of cayenne and a dash
of cinnamon, and then one tablespoon of honey, and stir.
I'd
Leila: rather just get some NyQuil at that point.
David: I don't know who this is quoting, but it's a quote, and
it says, I'm a singer, and this saved my voice. No name attached
to it, just I'm a singer. I'm an expert. Oh, my gosh. Speaking of
singing, oh, if anybody who's listening to this is a musician
and wants to collaborate with Leila on our new theme song,
especially if you can like drum When don't you, aren't you in a
band with drummers? Yeah. Would any of them be interested in
laying down a drum line? That's what that's called,
Leila: drum beat, yeah? A drum sick beat,
David: a sick beat. Lay down a sick beat, sick beat. Drum
Leila: Line is the word for just yeah, the different drums, yep,
I
David: get it group. I knew it was wrong. I was like, as soon
as it came out, that was wrong. Yeah?
Leila: So garlic for ear aches, yeah, earrings are an
David: infection. So, yeah, garlic knocks out infection.
That's why, go ahead.
Leila: It's just those ear aches. So I wonder if it's just,
it means ear infections. It's just want to say that, well, an
David: earache is typically an infection. Yeah, yep, take the
garlic. You put the garlic in your ears.
Leila: Garlic in your ears.
David: Well, garlic is, is a natural infection fighter, as is
silver, yeah, the all of the things that kill vampires,
except for the stake through the heart, fight infection,
Leila: yeah. You heat a tablespoon of olive oil just to
about in body temperature. So you can just hold the olive oil
if you want, transfer it to a small bowl and add crushed
garlic, let it rest, and then put it in a cotton ball, put in
your ear. 40 minutes. I ain't doing all that. I'm not doing.
I'll tell
David: you I've had some really bad ear infections, and if it'll
knock it out. That's true. I would. I had one get so bad one
time it was it was unbearable me too. They actually I had to go
to the ER because they were afraid that the infection had
gotten into my skull, ooh, and was going to cause some major
problems. That's when I had the $900 ear drops. Okay, so here's
the story. One second.
Leila: Whoa, yeah, I had a rare on my birthday last year. Yeah,
last year I
David: went to the hospital because I had this ear ache,
right? And I'm like, hey, hey, Doc, I got an earache. And she
went to look into the thing with a little pokey like scope, where
she can look inside the ear, and it hurts so bad she couldn't
even get the the Poke scope in there anyway. She's like, Here,
take these, these ear drops. These are the best ear drops on
the planet. I was like, Okay, it's the middle of the night, so
my pharmacy is not open. Does the hospital have a pharmacy
now? She's like, Yeah, it's a little more expensive. It's
like, I've got insurance. So we go and it's $800 and it's not
covered by insurance. So yes, hold on. So I get this bottle at
eardrops. It's a seven day or 14 day, little, tiny bottle at your
drops, and I take it home, and I'm looking at I'm like, why
does this look familiar? I've seen this bottle before. So I go
to our medicine drawer, and I open up our medicine drawer, and
I pull out the little and I've got another bottle of this
stuff, right? I got it from the veterinarian when our dog had an
ear infection, and it was $35 at the veterinarian, $35 for the
same exact medication, same dosage, same everything. I
Leila: don't like the word veterinarian, veterinarian like
I've been saying veteran, veteran, veterinian. No. How
have I been saying it veterinarian? I just say
veterinarian. I skipped the second e
David: proper pronunciation. I bet it's veteran. Why don't you
look that up while I while I talk about, if you have a fever,
you should use mint. Just chew on a leaf from a mint plant,
just two on some grass. If you've got some mint leaves
laying around, which my mother does, she Oh, yeah. She's always
got some. She likes to walk outside leaves. Yeah, when she
walks outside, in her backyard, there's a mint plant, like,
right on the edge of her patio, and she'll reach over and just
rub her fingers on it and smell them like I like the mint smell.
Veterinarian, just put your mic up to your speaker.
Veterinarian, veteran, thank
Leila: you for that pronunciation book, YouTube. I
may say anyway. I, I don't think there's, there's not grammar
police. I've realized that, like, no one's gonna get on to
you if you say something wrong, except for me, I'm the I'm the
police. You just
David: haven't run across any there's a bunch of grammar Nazis
out there. Yeah. Okay, so high blood sugar. This is the
problem. It says to try Berberine. This Berberine B, E
R, B, E R, I N, E says this herb plus chromium, the browser that
Chrome is based upon open source version of Chrome. It says, plus
chromium and individual supplements, or together in one,
help reduce blood sugar in pre diabetic patients on a diet low
in refined sugar and high in complex carbs. Huh? Cinnamon
also lowers blood sugar, as does Cactus.
Leila: Cactus. Oh, yeah, we have those cactus pills for a while.
Yep. Cactus
David: pills. You can get, you can just buy cactus. You can go
to the there's a the Mexican food store down the street. They
have cactus sometimes, because it's used in a lot of their
dishes.
Leila: Apple cider vinegar for ringworm, yes, because anti
fungal.
David: Do you know what Apple Cider Vinegar is? Also good for
anti fungal mixing with Serrano peppers to make it delicious,
Leila: delicious hot sauce. Absolutely I agree with that. I
David: made a jar. Oh my god, oh
Leila: my gosh. Did I have some of that you
David: did? I was very stingy with it because I didn't make a
lot, because I wanted to see how it was before. Yeah, it's kind
of pricey. I mean, it's not that bad, but Serrano peppers are
pretty it's the fact that you cut off so much of the serrano
before you make it, and then you have to use like so much Serrano
so weight gain, green tea can help.
Leila: Oh, yeah, I've, I've seen that one before, and it says,
David: in conjunction with eating a nutritious diet and
exercising, oh my gosh,
Leila: hey guys, did you know that if you paint your nails
pink, it'll help with you losing weight, as long as you're eating
healthily and you exercise,
David: as long as you're exercising a lot and also eating
healthy, having a pen behind your ear will help you lose
weight, yeah,
Leila: actually, a balance thing.
David: Oh, wow, yeah. I love, I love when they do. It's like
when in the in the matrix, they had the humans in the movie The
Matrix, they had the humans all hooked up to be batteries,
because they generated heat, and then they were, like, in
conjunction with a nuclear reactor. I'm like, Okay, so
you've got, that's like having a spaceship, right? But then
you've got like a pole on the bottom of the spaceship, and
there's like a a an eighth grader pushing up to help the
rocket get off the ground. That kid ain't doing nothing. The
heat that the human body produces, even millions of them,
is nothing compared to a nuclear reactor, exactly in the in the
original story, or the original plot at the matrix, the humans
were part of a neural network, so the brains were being being
used as computer processors, which makes much more sense than
us being used as batteries. But the people at Warner Brothers
were like, people don't understand all that tech mumbo
jumbo. Let's just say that they're batteries. Oh my gosh,
because our audience is stupid, because we make movies for
stupid people. Guarantee that's been said in the boardroom. I
bet. Guarantee it. Oh
Leila: my gosh. So tea tree oil is good for a lot of stuff like,
uh, acne, mild acne. It's good for anything's good for acne.
Come
David: on, man, teacher, oil is good for your scalp also, oh
yeah, especially if you're bold how, however, smells pretty
good. Tea Tree Oil can cause some problems in men, such as
gynomastia, so you can't use it a lot, but just for like,
temporary things, it'll be okay. Ginkgo biloba and ginseng and
turmeric are just all good for you. I know ginkgo biloba one of
the oldest tree species. Ginkgo is one of the oldest homeopathic
plants and a key herb in Chinese medicine, the leaves are used to
create capsules, tablets, extracts, and when dried, can be
consumed in tea. I've had ginkgo biloba and tea. That's cool.
Yep, it's good for it doesn't really have too much of a taste
cognitive impairment and dementia, cardiovascular
disease, cardiovascular risk factor. Dollars tonight.
Psychological disorders, tinnitus, vertigo, it's, it's
just an all around like, helps your body, yeah, Cough, Cough,
Cough, cough, I ate a bunch of popcorn, and I think some of
it's like, no,
Leila: I've just had this thing in my throat. I think it's like,
seasonal, because it comes like, every, yeah,
David: that's one of those things when the weather changes.
Yeah. So I used to drink these different teas, like Sobe green
tea, like gingko baloba, with gingko biloba and ginseng in
them before so be sold to whoever they sold to and just
became just another sugary drink. Grape seed extract is
good for inflammation, as is grounding. Lavender is supposed
to be really good. I can't stand the smell of it, though. Oh, but
yeah, all of this, we started looking to all this stuff
because of the grounding thing. And I'm very interested to see
how, to see if I actually have any noticeable effects that
aren't that I'm not just going to chalk up to being placebo,
yeah, from this grounding thing.
Leila: So lavender is a weird thing for me, because I love the
smell of lavender. I touch up with, like, a warning before I
smell it, for some reason sharp. It's very sharp. It like stops
you, yes, because one of my friends gave me some hand
sanitizer that had lavender in it, and I put it on because it's
hand satiser. And we were going somewhere, and I smell my hands
because it smelled pretty good. And I was like,
Unknown: now she didn't tell me what,
Leila: what scent it was. And she was like, are you okay? It's
like, yeah, it's
David: lavender. Stan me in the face. She was like, yeah,
Leila: what's wrong? Well,
David: if you get cut by lavender smell, you can put some
coconut oil on it, some wood eggs on it, some coconut coconut
oil is good for everything. Oh, yeah, absolutely. It's just one
of those things that, like you can cook with it. It's good for
your skin, good for your lips, it's good for your lips. It's
just a all around good product to have a jar of around the
house. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's good for your hair, too.
And it's a really good natural alternative to using other oils
to cook in
Leila: alternative medicine. Oh my gosh. The when you brought up
this episode to me, you know that character from the amazing
mortal Gumball, Mr. Smalls.
David: I'm aware of Mr. Smalls.
Leila: He him saying alternative medicine just popped into my
head because he, he's like, a hippie, right? But every, like,
every episode, he comes in and just like alternative medicine.
So like, Hold on
David: while you look it up, I'm gonna talk about honey. You were
talking about, you don't like honey earlier, but local honey
is so good for your allergies because, yeah, I mean, think
about the bees get the pollen from the local plants, and then
they produce honey, and it ends up just teaching your immune
system how to deal with the local allergens. Kind of, it's
almost like a vaccine, but like a natural one, without all the
vaccine stuff and baggage around that word, the eating. And you
want it to be as local as possible. So like, that's why we
buy our honey from that, that thing of the fair over here,
local bee Growers Association, or whatever
Leila: it is. Wait,
David: do you want to hook up the Bluetooth? Or here,
Leila: I'll just send this to you. I'll put it in the
collective.
David: Okay, put it in the collective. I'm not gonna, I'm
Leila: not gonna watch it before, because it's gumball.
How
David: many seconds is it 30? What's the timestamp
Leila: I would go to? Hold on
David: producing. The show live, 15
Leila: seconds, maybe
David: 15 seconds. I don't know how loud this is gonna be. Might
be a little loud. Let me turn it down. Okay.
Leila: What if we try something a little more off the chart?
Okay. Here
Unknown: we go. No, please. No. Stan.
David: Oh, that's just like The Matrix.
Unknown: Did someone say alternative medicine
Leila: flying in with this like robot, the
David: him flying scene was a direct rip off of the matrix.
One of the matrix movies I've only you've only ever seen the
first one. Yeah, the The rest are not as good as the first
one, but I think number two and number three are still worth
watching. Number four is not worth watching. It is a it felt
like a fan fiction written by a middle aged mom is what it felt
like. Nothing against middle aged moms. Nothing at all, but
All right, so this is a value podcast. Even after we change up
how we're going to do stuff, we are definitely still going to be
value for value. Value for value means we put the show out for
free. We make the show we put the show out. We don't have any
advertisements. And I mean, hopefully we, hey, we, you know
what, we have talked about ads, and we have a price. We will do
a 32nd ad that we write the copy for, right? For $1 million Yep,
and it will be on one episode. So if you've got a million
dollars and want us to read something for 30
Leila: seconds higher, you know, we can go higher than a million?
Yes, yes, yes, a million
David: is the minimum minimum. Yeah, we will add 15 seconds per
million dollars that you, that you add, yeah, of course. So
there's there's our price, but until then, we're value for
value, which means we put the show out for free. If you find
value in the show, if you are excited that we have a full
episode this week instead of a two minute episode, if you're
excited that we're changing up our format and just want to see
what that's all about,
Leila: I feel like you'll enjoy it. I
David: think you'll enjoy it.
Leila: I feel like you'll enjoy it too. If
David: you like us as much as you like our facts, I think that
you'll enjoy it. Yeah, it's
Leila: gonna be more like a stream of consciousness, yeah,
David: more of us and less of us trying to find facts to tell
people, yeah, the value that we give you, we can't tell you how
valuable we are. Yeah, we may be worth a penny an episode. If
that's true, you owe us $2.08 please. If, if our show is worth
$20 an episode to you, there you go. Shoot it over to us. You can
go to funfacfridicom, click the donations link and send us some
money. Many, many, many different ways to send money.
One of our favorite ways is to receive Satoshis. That is the
smallest available bit of Bitcoin, smallest available unit
of Bitcoin currently. And you can send that to us through
fountain.fm, or curio caster, or there's a bunch of different new
podcast apps over on podcast apps.com that you can use this
amazing technology to send us Satoshis. We received one boost
this week. In the last couple of weeks, we've received a lot of
streaming Satoshis. Oh yeah, we definitely want to thank the
people who listen to the show streaming, and then they're
sending us money every minute they listen. Yes, we received
one boost. Are you? You want to read it?
Leila: Sure? Oh, no. Anyway, yeah, we got 1996 did I read
that right? Yep, from Kevin hallacy, rhymes with fallacy for
the birds episode, our last episode, that was an actual
episode, and it's 1996 because bio dome slash Polly shore boost
never saw it, but would do well to visit the Fun Fact Friday or
SSS show. So the speculation, yes, I'm bad at reading today
for some reason. He's probably a lot of fun now.
David: Yes, okay, so BioDome. Here goes. I'm going to relate
the entire plot to you. A couple of guys go to a BioDome. One of
them's probably Sure. One of them is polysure. They go to,
they go to a BioDome. They think it's a mall. They have to use
the restroom because they drank some really big sodas from the
gas station. They go inside, they sneak inside the biodome,
right as they're about to close the doors for one year, and then
they get locked into the biodome and they're stuck there for a
year. Well, these guys are not scientists, let me tell you.
Hilarity ensues. It's a very fun movie. It's one of my favorites
of all time. I don't know how good of a movie it is on a scale
of like actual, objectively good. Let me look at rod
tomatoes. It hit, it hit my life at just the right time, and it
was goofy, and it was fun. And I've always been a big fan of
Polly shore. I bet he is probably a lot of fun now. Any
who thank you for the 1996 that's the year that the biodome
movie came out. We definitely appreciate that. Oh my gosh. You
can also return your value in other ways, such as art ideas
for new logos. We're probably still going to be called Fun
Fact Friday, but we're going to make sure that the logo reflects
that we're not as much of a kids show anymore, yeah, and all
that. So
Leila: you want to know what the rating on Rotten Tomatoes?
David: I do want to know four, four.
Unknown: It's four.
David: Kylie Mino in it. It's got,
Leila: hell is it, it's got four out of 100 on the tomato meter.
That's so funny. Oh,
David: my God. I love bio dome. It's not a good movie. That's
probably why it has a four. It's probably not. It's not, but it's
got a solid like
Leila: score or a popcorn meter of 51 Okay, I
David: gotta do a deep dive on bio dome, because this thing,
it's oh, we're Episode 209, not 208, the top
Leila: critics, 0% and of all critics, it's 4% only one person
rated it as fresh instead of rotten. Okay, you
David: know what? So silly Polly, Mr. Shore, whatever you
prefer to be called these days, the weasel. I. Um, we love you.
We love BioDome.
Leila: Yeah,
David: we want you to come on the show, not because we want to
steal clout and use your name. You don't have to use your name
on our show. You could be whoever you want to be, yeah,
but we want to talk to you as a person. I want to ask you some
questions about the 90s and what it was like being holy shore in
the 90s. Yeah. There we go. There's our sound bite. We can
clip that and, uh, posted on X, Oh, yeah. He'll be like, Oh,
that guy's got a nice voice. Maybe I will go on a show. And I
guess he talks at all.
Leila: I don't want to like what I don't want to, like make my
impression of him. Well, I don't know how. I don't know how to,
how to, how to impersonate people.
David: Oh, I'll teach you. I'll teach anyway. I think that's it
for our episode. We're 10 minutes over this week, but we
didn't have an episode last week, so come out in the wash.
Yeah. So everybody have a great day. If you have any ideas for
where you would like to see the show go direction wise. Let us
know
Leila: we're planning on making this change after the 110 the
200 Yeah,
David: so probably 211 Episode 211 might be our changeover
episode, and there might be a couple of weeks between 210 and
211 Yeah, it's Christmas time. We got a lot going on, but we
will have some time at home where she will be at home, and
we can brainstorm ideas. We can come up with new art, we can
come up with new music and all that stuff. So, yeah, so this
will be your little Christmas surprise, and let us know if you
have any ideas of what you'd like to hear from us. We might
ignore them, but we may use them. So that's, that's just how
that's the nature of the industry. You know, we're very
industry focused.
Leila: People, totally, absolutely.
David: Bye, everybody. Bye. I
Leila: was trying to make sure we
David: didn't miss anything on the list. Totally.
