Leila: Hi, hello and welcome to Hey, the last Fun Fact Friday.
David: It's just the last one that's all number 210, Fun Fact
Friday. We were a weekly podcast, but now we're gone.
Leila: So we're making another show.
David: I'm making a pizza. I'm Italian. So this is it. This is
it for Fun. Fact Friday,
Leila: what are we gonna do now?
David: Something else, I guess. So. If this is your first
episode,
Leila: why?
David: Guess what?
Leila: Guess what? Sorry,
David: so, yeah, where we decided that fun factfriday, as
it is, is is done, and we we thought about maybe we'll just
take the fff as we have funfacfriday.com, and all that
stuff, we can take that whole brand and pivot it and do all
that stuff. And then we decided we're just going to start a
whole new show, new branding, new ideas, new format,
everything. Like it. Start from scratch. Yeah, I think, I think
you're really gonna like it if you come on over now, we are not
going to shy away from topics that would not be kid friendly.
Leila is 14. Should be 15 pretty soon. So we're gonna start
talking about a little bit heavier topics, news stories,
things like that. And sometimes those can get pretty current
events, yeah, sometimes those things can get pretty, pretty
gruesome, and, you know,
Leila: or just something you wouldn't want, like your, yeah,
kids don't
David: need to know about what's going on in the real world. Let
them play their games and goof around the front yard, you know,
yeah, totally. Like, my life, right? So, um, yeah, that's,
that's what's gonna happen. Where we've got a really good
plan. We've already started working. We bought a domain, not
telling y'all yet, not telling you yet. Keep, keep this feed in
your subscription. Actually, like,
Leila: when would we tell them? Sunday? Okay,
David: December 8. We're gonna make announcements on Twitter.
Leila: The current state of the website is very Yeah,
David: Facebook, and all that. We're on Facebook, we're on
Twitter. We're on Mastodon, if you want to find us, if you're
just finding us right now, like you didn't know about us before.
And go to funfacfriday.com on mastodon. We are fun factfriday
at social dot Medus media.com, that's Medus media, and that's
we're over there on the mastodon, the Fed averse.
Leila: We're on Twitter, 541
David: I think you already said that. Fun Fact Friday one on
Twitter, that's the number one. Do you have anything else mail
at Fun Fact Friday? Shoot us a message We're keeping? Yeah, we
all that stuff on the website, where we are keeping the domain
for the time being, at least another couple years. Imagine if
people,
Leila: instead of like commenting something on our
Twitter to like, let us know about something, they send us a
mail. Yeah, they send us a mail. Well,
David: we've got the PO Box. We're gonna have the PO box for
you know, as long as we can, we can afford the monthly fees to
keep going up, yeah, or yearly fees, I guess, and then yeah. So
end in the show. We're gonna take December off. It has been a
fantastic ride. Looking back at we got 210 episodes, most of
which are actual episodes? Yeah, there's a few, you know. Hey,
we're not having a show this week, sort of episodes and but
we started the show just as a little fun project. It picked up
a little steam. The steam has kind of petered off a little
bit. We've, we're, our numbers aren't doing as good, which I
gotta say, we haven't been putting in as much, you know,
enthusiasm lately with your school and your band and things
like that, but we started the show, and it became an
opportunity for me to sit down with you once a week and have a
good conversation, goof off and a light atmosphere. And I know
from correspondence that we've gotten, that we've we've touched
some people's lives, just in, you know, even just in the way
of like they it gives them something to listen to that they
know is not going to be political. They know it's not
going to have controversy or anything inappropriate. And it's
just, you know, a guy and his daughter goofing off, yeah, and
having a good time. We hope that we can do that yeah. And we want
to thank everybody who's stuck with us for the last almost five
years, yeah, or however long you've been around a year,
whatever.
Leila: Or if you just Yeah, happen to see the last two
episodes and be like, Yeah, this is pretty, pretty neat. Yeah.
David: Get in touch with us. Let us know definitely you. We would
love to receive any you know, we wish you good good cheer. Good
luck on your future stuff. We are starting the new show. It
will be starting in January. We're taking December off from
podcasting, yeah, now, when I say we're taking December off,
that doesn't mean we're not gonna be working just behind the
mic. We
Leila: won't be releasing, well, right? We'll be releasing
content. It's not this content, not
David: this and it won't be fun factfriday content. It will be
the new show content. We'll be releasing, we might actually
release the announcement on this feed. So like I said, Stay
subscribed to this RSS feed, the fun factfriday Feed. We're going
to have a trailer for the new show, and that'll probably be
the last thing that we'll post on this feed. So we'll change
the completed tag to completed after we get the trailer for the
new show on there. That way, if somebody finds our show, the
first thing that they'll see on their list is, you know, hey,
this show's over, but we have a new one. If you if you go back
and listen and like this one, have we said the new version yet
we have not. I would like to tell our listeners before we
tell Twitter and all of the other people in the world, so
all of our devout listeners get to hear the name of the show
first, Leila. Leila, are you gonna? Are you gonna say it? Are
you? Oh, my God, I swear everything's an argument. That's
it. Everything's an argument. Is the name of the new show. The
website is argument, pod.com, right now. It's just a
placeholder. I think you all like the placeholder. It's
extremely artistic, and I worked very long on that placeholder
website. If you go to
Leila: it like within the first day or two of this episode being
out, you'll see what he means. Yeah,
David: up until about December, probably, probably mid December,
it's going to be like that with the placeholder. So December
2024 next.
Leila: We want to get everything ready to post. Yeah,
David: and I'm gonna, I'm gonna build this one better from the
ground up, because as we went along with Fun Fact Friday,
little behind the scenes stuff here, like, I messed up some
stuff at the beginning with how the how I structured everything,
and I, like redoing everything while you've got a current what
podcast, yeah, and like restructuring, because I had
our, I didn't have goods, right? I didn't have a bunch of
technical stuff, just I wish I had set it up differently when I
initially set it up, it would have made things a lot easier.
But we definitely wanted to say thank you to everybody who's
ever made a donation to the page, ever supported us in any
way, be it postcards or magnets for the fridge or the Garfield
calendar or the Christmas gifts we got. Everything has been so
heartwarming to us. It's so
Leila: much more than we could ever imagine. Yeah, starting the
show,
David: and we're hoping that most of you will follow us over
to the new show,
Leila: even if you'll listen for a couple episodes. Yeah, even if
you hate it's not your jam. And we
David: are definitely open to ideas. We've got some ideas on
what we want to do, but we're still but we're still kind of
brainstorming a few things. Yeah,
Leila: in our new show, we'll probably give more way to topics
that we can I mean, not that we don't have topics that are sent
in by listeners. Now,
David: yeah, we do but, but we can also do it'll be easier to
do guests, because we won't have to put, like, tell the guests a
whole bunch of rules
Leila: at the beginning, cut stuff out because, right, it'll
David: be a lot easier. We'll probably be doing a little more
live because the format works better. And we may even, we may
even implement some live streams of this video. We may play some
games together or something. Maybe you'll see what I look
like now. Yeah, she looks like,
Leila: I don't look 10 anymore. No, she
David: doesn't. But we wanted to thank everybody, and we wanted
to thank the people who have donated in the last two weeks.
We didn't put an episode out last week because we were
working hard on trying to get graphics and and we need, we
need help with the art, and we need help with some music. So if
you are good at art, or I know you're doing the music, but
like, let's say somebody can help. Let's say somebody can
take what we record and they can master it and make it sound
better. Yeah, I'm not necessarily. I can master spoken
word, I can do sound effects, things like that, but I'm not
great with music, and I know there's a lot of people who, at
least a few people I know that listen to the show, that are
good with mastering music, arranging music, all kinds of
stuff. We're not forcing you to do anything. No, no, it's value
for value. If you enjoyed our show. Speaking of value for
value, we have had a few boosts in the last couple of days, or
the last extra last two weeks, and we wanted to read those now.
These came in through the fountain app, and the podcast
index at boost is a tiny little bit of Bitcoin. We're definitely
going value for value on the next show also, but tiny little
bits of Bitcoin, which. Are just getting more and more valuable.
So we definitely appreciate this. This is, uh, this is
enough to go getting some ice cream
Leila: or some dairy free ice, which
David: we already did. We did, I guess I'm butter pecan. It's so
good. So two weeks ago, we got 1996 sets, 1996 sets from count.
Kevin Hallas he rhymes with fallacy. Oh,
Leila: no,
David: did we Yes, we
Leila: said that on the last episode.
David: Oh, what if Kevin rhymes with fallacy and not?
Leila: How would that wait? Kevin callousy
David: house callousy callisy, house? No, that doesn't work. It
has to be the house. It has to be house. Okay, so we already
did that one the 1996 that was the biodome polysore. Boost,
yes. Okay, so we've got 847, sets. Maybe
Leila: we can solve the mystery on the new
David: show from Kevin house. We're gonna dig. We're gonna
Deep Dive. That is one episode. That is one thing we're looking
at doing is deep diving. We named it everything's an
argument, because she's a teenager now,
Leila: and I come from a completely different generation
than he does,
David: and we get into arguments about things like, I'm like, a
dumb argument. You, you your your music these days. I'm like,
No. I'm like, What is brat?
Leila: Oh my gosh. We need to discuss that on the new show.
David: We'll release a preview of one of our arguments,
absolutely, but, yeah, record a couple. Everything's an
argument. It's gonna be great. Um, okay, back to the back to
the donations. Yeah, 847 SATs from Kevin Hallas. He rhymes
with fallacy. 847 just for the mystery of 847
Unknown: amazing, amazing.
David: We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out one day.
It's just random. I think Kevin Hallas he just like, or that's
all he had in his wallet left, and he was like, I'll just send
this and then reboost it, refilled his wallet later.
Anywho,
Leila: he's clicked the redo button.
David: Another one from Kevin Hallisey, oh, 22222, which row
of ducks looks like a row of ducks just walking along. And it
says, small row of ducks, because quacks are
scientifically known to be therapeutic and cure alls for
whatever else. Yeah, wax. That's quack tastic, as Billy Madison
would say. Oh my gosh. What do you don't like Adam Sandler?
Leila: I love Adam Sandler.
David: That's his movies. We watched it. Didn't we watch it?
Yes? Yeah, we watched it. Watch it like a couple times. If pee
in your pants. Is cool. Consider me Miles Davis. Any who you
don't remember that line, I do. Okay.
Leila: I remember the movie. I just think it's my
David: fit. It's so funny. Came out. It came out at just the
right time. Okay, okay, it's like in the 90s. I don't think
it's the best. No, it's not. But I enjoyed it.
Leila: I like it, like, it's
David: like, biodome I'm
Leila: saying, like, what are you doing here? Wait for them to
play Gangnam Style. Have you seen that
David: we can get a party? That's another thing. We're
gonna be playing a lot of clips on the new show. Yes, playing
clips, discussing the clips. We're not gonna become a
reaction channel. No,
Leila: that's just conscious. Talk about that on the news. I
David: do. She's got a whole rant about that. I have so many
Leila: rants that I've been holding kind of back.
David: Leila rant, she's got a bunch of those,
Leila: I do, I do, I do.
David: And she's been holding them back because she doesn't
want to get too angry and, you know, upset anybody? Any who we
have a 1000 sat from Cameron says, looking forward to the new
show, Cameron must follow us on the socials. Yeah. Oh, you might
have heard it on the last because we mentioned on the last
episode, yeah, yeah. Forgot. So, yeah, just these SATs in
addition to all the other sets that we've gotten, over the last
How long are we getting SATs? Three years, three and a half
years, yeah, since the beginning this thing a little bit after
the beginning. Yeah, it was because the SAT didn't actually
come in until, let's see, that
Leila: kind of became our main thing, main way of getting
money. Yeah,
David: I'm clicking Show older boosts, and it only goes back to
April 6 of 2022 however, we, I know we were getting them before
that, but we also, we moved to the helipad after we started
getting sets, because, remember, we had that other service, and
then we built the Umbral So, yeah, so, I mean, I'm looking
back, and we've got, we've got, we've got 20,000 SATs back in
2022 we've got 100,000 SATs twice in a row for our 100th
episode. I mean, you, I know that she's pulling up the
calculator. Gosh, there's another look. There's another
100,000 SATs. I just looked at 100 Wow, for 100 So do that
times three? So three, yeah, so do 300,000
Leila: Whoa. I just hit the table. So,
David: I mean, we've gotten, if you look at just like episode 99
to episode 110 we probably got half a million SATs.
Unknown: Oh, my God,
David: that's a lot of money. Yeah, so, and, I mean, there's,
there's Adam curry, mere mortals podcast. You know, we've gotten,
we've gotten all the support from everybody, and then then
our, we have to, we have to carve out a special section
right here for Dreb Scott. Dreb Scott's been a part of the team,
Dreb Scott, came in and helped us do chapters to helped us. He
does the chapters. Came in and gets our transcripts ready for
us, and uploads them, gets in there and you know, like, if I
mess up something, which I do quite often, like, Hey, you
didn't change the title on Episode 128, you didn't change
the title. I have to go back in and fix it, but he lets me know.
And then on top of that, Dreb has helped us out with
donations, monthly donations for the entirety of the show. Has
been around since the beginning, and we can't think, can't. Thank
you. Enough, Dreb, that being said that that's we wanted to
say something special for Dreb there. But everybody who's
donated, Steven Grimes been there since the beginning with
his $10 a month, absolutely. And then, I mean, we've just had so
many, so many supporters over the years.
Leila: I remember when he, like, at the very beginning of the
show, walked into the den and was like, we got our first
donation. And I was like, what? Well,
David: that wasn't her, yeah, oh yeah. I remember the first one.
First one was Sherry Lorem, yeah. Sherry, yeah, yeah. So
they're, you know, it goes, it goes all the way back and then
receiving the stuff in the mail. But
Leila: I didn't think we'd actually get money from this
thing. We did. Yeah, just a
David: little, so little thing, but no, it's, it's, it has paid
for itself, and we've been able to put some money away for Leila
future. We haven't spent any of the SATs that have been given.
So if we take all the sets that we've got right now, Yeah,
seriously, just leave it in there. Let it roll. But I wanted
to tell everybody, if you have made a donation in the last you
know, however long, and you feel like, Hey, I paid y'all I
thought the show was going to continue, and you're killing the
show, let us know we have no problem sending back what you
know, whatever amount you know we you say you need back or you
want back, definitely not a problem whatsoever. Just let us
know we do the show value for value. And I really want anybody
think, Oh, we're doing this for the money. Because if we were
doing it for the money, we were done ads, yeah, and I would have
been pushing it a lot harder on social media and been but I like
our little community. I like our little small group. We get good,
encouraging emails from people, and this has been a positive
experience all around I really can't think of any negative part
of it, except for the times when it was extremely hot out here in
the studio, or extremely cold out here in the studio,
Leila: or we forgot, and we were like, No,
David: yeah, we're the middle of something. We're like, we didn't
put an episode out quick. We gotta pretend like we were we it
was intentional. Make it a silly speculation Saturday week, yeah?
Leila: So yeah, that's what we did for half of our silly
speculation Saturdays. I hate to
David: say it, well, we always had topics queued up, though,
yeah, we always had something that we wanted to talk about.
And the vast majority of our show is improv. Yeah, like we we
literally script, we literally research for 10 minutes, 15
minutes, we find a couple of websites. And y'all can probably
tell this by most of the episodes. I mean, we just
straight up very professional. Um, yeah, no, not with the show.
This shows. This show was I so I could talk to my daughter. I've
got five years of audio recordings of me having
conversations with my daughter in her formative years. Yep,
that's a, that's a life hack right there. When she's she's
like, when she's like, Dad, your mom are boring. I'm leaving and
she moves out,
Leila: or I get a job, job.
David: Okay, you can be a little less. Terry, 27 um,
Unknown: you would hate it. You can't.
David: Oh my gosh, you'd be gone. No way, no way. But yeah,
I've got, I got five years of recordings. I'm happy with it,
and we're gonna go even further. You know, we've got this new
show. Everybody go check it out. It's gonna be argument pod
placeholder right now, but we do already have an email address.
Mail at argument pod.com Hey. I don't have my email clients
hooked up to it yet, still checking it through the webmail,
so it might not respond for a week or two. If you send us
something that's all right, we're chilling. We're chilling,
but yeah, just keep an eye on this. On this feed. We're
definitely going to have it, and we're going to link it over to
the new show. I'll put it in the pod role for this. But the new
show, if you're gonna let your kids listen, be sure and listen
first. Yeah. So you're, you know, you're
Leila: comfortable, like one of those, we're PG, 13 movies you
gotta go see before you can let your kids see it.
David: Yeah, we're probably aiming for the teenager
demographic, yeah. Like, we can talk about things that it'd be
okay to talk about somebody Leila age with Yeah, so it's
fairly open, but there's some topics that we're not touching
because it's uncomfortable to talk about certain things with
your daughter. Well, yeah, in front of other people. Anywho,
anywho. We We love all y'all we loved, all the stuff we got in
the mail, all the notes we got, all the help we got, and we hope
we'll see y'all hope we'll see on the new show. Yeah, you got
any final words for the for our loving audience who's gonna miss
us? I
Leila: also want to thank mom. Yeah,
David: our silent podcast partner,
Leila: very silent. We
David: tried really hard to get her to come out here. Begged
her. We were like, so funny, so cool. You can walk in. You could
be like, hey, I want to join a podcast. I feel like it's time
for me to start, start being on the show like right before we
play the outro, yeah, oh, we also want to thank Kyle for
letting us use his voice.
Leila: Oh, Kyle, yeah, he's, he's,
David: I gotta talk. I didn't give him a one for the new show
too. Yeah, I'm sure he was. He gets a split. He gets a split of
every of every time somebody sends us a fun fact.
Leila: That's him. Yep,
David: he's so cool. That's Kyle. Kyle, a bear. He's not
podcasting anymore, but he's been doing so many, no, he's
been doing so many conventions and stuff that he's just he
didn't have the time for it. It takes a lot of time all of our
guests who've come on. Thank you so much. Maybe we can get some
of you on the new show, and we can talk a little more frankly
about some of the stuff that we had to cut out. I of the Fun
Fact Friday, maybe
Leila: give more of our opinions.
David: Yes, you're gonna, you're gonna hear some opinions on the
news, some opinionated opinions, and you're gonna hear some
opinions from me and Leila, and we don't have the same opinions
on we do not have
Leila: the same opinions on something. And you're gonna see
that. You're gonna see that we're not perfect, and we don't
agree on everything. And I know you probably don't think we
agree on everything, but we are very different on some topics.
David: We are ourselves on this show, but we're also very
cognizant of we have six year old listeners, and
Leila: we have to be fun to make Friday. We can't be Leila and
David,
David: right? So come on over, see us at argument. Pod. What is
that smoke? Oh, yeah, never mind. Duh, I forgot the incense
was burning. Have
Leila: incense burning? Oh, is that smoke?
David: All right. Bye, everybody. We want to see you
all around, like I said, Stay subscribed here, and you'll get
details about the new show. We'll have a trailer come out,
and we'll see y'all. We'll see y'all around. Bye. Wait,
