Episode Transcript
Well that was kind of random meltying for random facts with Mel Taylor.
So the step in words like stepmotheror stepchild actually doesn't come from the fact
that you're one step away from beingblood related. It comes from an Old
English word spelled stop, which meantdeprived of a relative. So orphans were
called step children. Michael Phelps wasrated the second best swimmer in the country
(00:25):
in his age group when he wasten years old. The kid who was
number one was Chris Humphries. Youknow who that is, went on to
become an NBA player and was marriedto Kim Kardashian for like twelve minutes.
In America, the Sony Walkman wasoriginally called The Sound About and I don't
think they're making Walkman's anymore. HouseMusic got its name because it started at
(00:46):
a club in Chicago called the Warehousein nineteen seventy seven, and Channing Tatum
played a bartender in Ricky Martin's SheBangs video. He got paid four hundred
bucks. He's come a long wayfrom that. So that is a look
today at to our or random facts.
