(00:31):
scented crams in nineteen ninety four. Do you remember it?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I do? How did they taste wonderful?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
They were called Magic Scent and the wax sticks came
in coconut, cherry and licorice. But by nineteen ninety five
Creola had taken them off the market. Parents were afraid
that kids would eat them, and yeah, at least ten
did all in tusk loosen up, So Crayola changed the
sense to be less appetizing, so brown, for example, went

(00:57):
from chocolate to dirt.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I will call my MoMA. No, I did not eat dirt,
and you're taking shots at Tusca lousive. I'm gonna call
my mama. Now, Mama did not say in little fat

Portland, Oregon, was named by a coin flip Oh. The
other name was Option. The other name Option was Boston.
The two guys who founded the city were from Boston, Massachusetts,
and Portland, Maine. The guy from Maine won the toss
and named the city Portland.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't done something crazy like Shaboozi.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Ors Pez dispensers originally looked like lighters, and they were
marketed at adults as an alternative to smoking. That makes sense,
but I like the little characters on top because they're
just so cute.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Tic TACs, lifesavers, Pez, whatever you can do to get
get off cigarettes. That's the biggest thing too.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
You'd weigh about one percent less at the equator than
on the north or south.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Paul, Well, you needed to lose a few yourself.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Okay, that's fair. It's because of the difference in the
gravitational pull at the equator versus the north and south.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
That's totally is here.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
What when hot pockets first debuted in the nineteen seventies,
they weren't called hot pocket pockets. They were called chunk stuffers.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Chunk stuffers, you did not going to say anything else
you did, you're going to because you can't. You're gonna
leave it with chuck. I saved it for a last
chunk stuffers Tuesday.

Russian cosmonauts used to carry special pistols into space because
where they would land was in the middle of Siberia.
You know, wolves and bears, and so they could protect
themselves from them when they landed there in Siberia.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
It wasn't a shot aliens.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
No, no, no, well maybe, but you know you can't
be super rear.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Roller skates were invented in Belgium and they've been around
since seventeen sixty.

Speaker 2 (02:57):

and that was awesome, bring it back.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
There's a type of tree called the African blackwood, also
Dalbergia meloniloxland luck with that, uh huh. But it's one
of the most expensive woods in the world and because
it's very slow growing and it's a threatened tree found
in southern and central Africa. They're twenty five feet tall
and they have this dense dark heartwood hence African blackwood,
and it's prized for high quality musical instruments and fine furniture.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
That's another guitar I can't afford.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
If you ever look up anything on Wikipedia, you might
be reading an article by Steve Prewitt. He has made
nearly three million Wikipedia edits and authored thirty five thousand articles,
all without pay. He's a key figure in providing free
knowledge to the world.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Thanks Steve, that's good stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Awesome what mister Rogers we know He personally answered almost
all of his fan mail all that he could. But
a five year old girl once wrote him and asked
him to say when he's feeding the fish, because she
was worried about them and she couldn't see. You see,
she was blind. Oh and so from that moment on,
every time he fed the fish he said it out loud.
I'm going to feed the fish for the little blind girl,

(04:11):
so that she knew when he was feeding them every day,
so that she can make sure they got fed.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I mish personalities like Fred Rogers.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I really Rogers.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
That Wednesday.

When diet diet coke debuted in nineteen eighty two, Coke
diet coke It was the first time that Coca Cola
used the word coke on any of its products. It
was always called Coca cola. You never saw the word coke,
but diet Coke had it.

It happened at an amusement park in England in twenty fourteen.
No one's broken it in the past ten years.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm getting it.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
The official name for people living in Indiana is Who's yours.
The huger is not Indiana's. And this is according to
Indiana's that's according to the US Government Publishing Office Styles guidelines.
But like what is a hoosier there, it's debated nobody.
There's like several different theories of what a hoosier is.
You could be from a John Finley poem in eighteen

(05:18):
thirty three. They're also saying it could be traced back
to the Cumberland dialect of England, where a hoosier was
just used to describe anything really large, or a Methodist
preacher named Harry Hoosier so you know, there's a lot
of different debates of like what exactly is a hoosier,
But that's what you call people from Indiana officially.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
A hoosier is your daddy or your baby?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Who's your daddy?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Who's your day? Who's your baby?

Speaker 3 (05:44):

boop you with their forehead on your hat?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Well, that's good because they do that if someone gives
them a sense of security or trust. They do it
to people that they see as family.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I learned, well, we had cats. I learned a lot
because of you. You said, you know, if they curl
their tail around your leg or feet or whatever, they
like you, they trust you, and you have to wait
on them to come to you.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Both Brett and Finn, my husband and my son have this.
If they walk outside and there's a bright light, it'll
make them sneeze.

No, it's a type of sweat.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, ear wet.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
And you can have to tell like how much deodorant
you need based on the color of the ear wax
coming out because of the chemicals in your body. Yeah,
and the odor it's all connected.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Right, I'm done.

Animals can only cross breed if they're very closely related,
oh and have the same number of chromosomes, or just
a very slight difference, like, for example, a horse has
sixty four chromosomes, a donkey has sixty two. They're members
of the same genus Equis, and because of this they
can have offspring a mule which has sixty three chromosomes.

There you go, there you go.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Number four, No matter how scrambled, Aerubik's cube is there
is a way to solve it within twenty moves.

a good night.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
There's no way, No twenty moves.

Speaker 2 (08:53):

have a phone.

Speaker 3 (09:00):

in the Caribbean or the Florida Keys with that name.

I thought Cocaine. I thought it was a real. Point

Speaker 3 (09:17):
There are about three hundred thousand sperm whales in the ocean,
and they each eat one giant squid a day, So

support the consumption of one hundred thousand giant squid a year.

Oh, that's a horror movie.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
But we've only captured a live one on film once.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
That's crazy. I think it's because they're so deep.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
They go so so deep, but the sperm whales eat
them a lot which means there are a lot of them.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Number one.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
