The daughter was the first lady.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Sang number four realized that.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
The most expensive video game console that has come out
in the last thirty years when adjusted for inflation, of course, yeah,
was the Segas Saturn and this was in nineteen ninety five.
It would have cost about over eight hundred dollars in
today's money.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, the PlayStation three he was a close second though,
that's just under eight hundred dollars. But that Sega Sidron
back in the day was pricey for what it was.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You would know you've got little ones, and they don't
play video games that often. I don't think. But what's
the most popular game out there right now? What's everybody playing.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
I couldn't tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
There's big.

Speaker 3 (01:15):

Speaker 3 (01:36):

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Led Zeppelin is the fifth best selling album in the
US history. That's led Zeppelin four twenty four million copies sold,
But it was never number one on the Billboard charts.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
It only peaked at number two.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I did not realize that. I thought, I'm sure that
was a number one. Number one.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
The longest golf hole in the world is a one thy,
one hundred yard hole in South Korea, par seven.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
There's no way it's a par seven.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Par seven, And if you somehow managed to get a
hole in one on that on that whole, it would
be called a phoenix if you did it in two shots,
that would call it an Ostriche an ostridge.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Now teach me something that's cool, right there? Test Tuesday's umber.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Paul Bakari wrote the song let it Be, but then
he sent it to Aretha Franklin and she recorded it,
but she held up the release for the song for
so long that the Beatles just decided to do it themselves.
It became one of their huge hits. Now Aretha eventually
did release her version, but of course.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
It's not as well known.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Right.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Number four rainbows are actually full circles.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Really, we just can't see the other half because.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Of the ground.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
If you were to be able to see the whole thing,
it's the way the light reflects it would create a
full circle.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Love it.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Umber three Johnson and Johnson was founded by three guys
named Johnson, not just too like the name implies. They
were all Robert James and Edward Johnson.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh why the three instead of two? I did not know.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
The Netherlands has a defense system where they can turn
the provinces of North and South Holland into an island
because they can flood any potential crossings into those provinces.
And it's part of their national defense system.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's wild.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
That is wild in the Statue of Liberty.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
We know it celebrates the relationship between France and the
United States. It was also made to celebrate the centennial
of the Declaration of Independence, but it also is a
symbol of abolition.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
And the end of slavery.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
A lot of people don't realize it, but there is
a set of broken chains hidden partially hidden at the
feet of the Statue of Liberty, and that's part of
the symbolism of the whole entire thing to celebrate the
abolition of slavery.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I did not know that.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
A lot of people don't. That's why they're random.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Fact Wednesday Lego.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Bricks have been around for a long time, but the
bricks that were made back in nineteen fify fifty eight
would still fit perfectly with your modern lego. And the
reason why they're so insanely accurate, I mean the molds
that they use them. We're talking within two thousand, two
thousandths of a millimeter, Oh my god, which is point
zero zero two mm. If you're looking at that.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
That's unlivable crazy.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
And also with legos during the Christmas season, almost twenty
eight Lego sets are sold each second.

Speaker 2 (04:27):

who was baptized in office.

bee if you're eating a banana.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
A banana, yep, the chemical compound that gives bananas their
taste also works as a pheromone that makes bees angry.
The scent of bananas makes bees angry, so try not
to eat them outside or around bee I'm just.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Thinking to have something to do with the potassium.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
No, if you want to just decrease your risk, bees
are repelled by the scent of almonds, So munch on
almonds outside if you want to keep the bees away.

fan too, I like you. Well, that's it, keep the
bees away. It's a Friday.

Worried about black widow spiders, but maybe we should tone
it down just a little bit. They're not very aggressive,
and you'll often have to actually pinch or squeeze one
of them to get it to attack you. But their
venom will make a very painful bite. So and it's
two small animals like mice fatal. But yeah, just don't
provoke it, and you probably don't have to worry about
black widows fighters too much. The average person will take

(07:38):
about two hundred and sixteen point three million steps in
their lifetime, which is the equivalent of walking all the
way around the Earth five times, assuming the average active
person takes about seventy five hundred steps per day, give or.

hang together.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
