Speaker 1 (00:25):
Six Monday for five.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Pine Hones were originally called pineapples. Oh, that's how the
pineapple got its name because of its resemblance.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
To them.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It does look like an apple.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
That's how they got it, all right. Number four, Well,
let's go back to pineapples. They themselves are not a
single fruit, but they're a group of berries that are
fused to the central stalk, you know, the pineapple core.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I can see it when you in my mind.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I can use Yeah, there's little berries that are all
fused to that and it looks like one big.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Fruit, but no one.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Number three.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Isaac Newton invented calculus and about the time that it
takes a college freshman class to learn it.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Come on, I mean, when's the lifetime you used calculus?
Be honest, I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Think I ever took it. I avoided it at all costs.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I took it, but I can't spell it. Number two.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
At the outbreak of World War One, the Boy Scouts
of America was the largest uniformed body in America at
the time. It was twice as large as the army
and four times as large as the Navy.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
It love, you still know how to time on nots
and build a fire with two sticks.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Number on, Yes, we'll go to.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
World War two.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Rationing in the United Kingdom during World War II actually
increased life expectancy in the country and decreased infant mortality.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Really, so less is more, Well, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Because the people everyone was required to consume of a
very diet. They had their yeah, they had their ration cards,
and they were allowed to get so much of each
certain type of food that they normally wouldn't have gotten before.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
But because they wanted food, they.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Got it all, and they had a more very diet
and it actually made people live longer and babies more healthy.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
There you go, Tuesday. Number five.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
So around Halloween we often see crows and ravens and
you're spooky. They're kind of associated with death. But there's
a reason for that. It's because they would often follow
armies as they marched into battle. You see, they're both
carrion birds, and they're both extremely intelligent. So they were
smart enough to realize that a large group of armed
men marching on one direction meant that there would be
(02:26):
a tasty meal of corpses to eat pretty soon afterwards.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
It's terrible. Why I don't like those freaky birds.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
There's a reason for it. They're smart.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Number four of them.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Here's a good reason to donate blood. You can actually
reduce the levels of forever chemicals what they call pfas
in your blood through blood and plasma donations.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
There you go. A lot of people are Saint Jude.
They do the plasma. Now the platelets, they.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Do the plate Yeah, my sister does that as well,
and she works for Saint Jude in Memphis.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It was long. Number three.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Highlighters were originally yellow for a reason, and it's because
they wouldn't leave a shadow when a paper was.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
X rockster copied.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, so the highlighter won't show up if
you copy the page. Number two tea bags were invented
by accident.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yeah, it happened in nineteen o eight.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
There was a salesman in New York who thought he
would be fancy, and he was sending samples of tea
to people in silk backs, and the people just assumed
that they were supposed to put the entire bag into
the pot. And the trend caught on, and now you
don't have tea leaves in your tea because of the
little tea bag.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Number on And Hoody and the Blowfish the name of
Darius Rutgers band before. We know him as a country artist,
But Darius wasn't hoody. We call him hoody, but he
wasn't hoody. It was actually the nicknames of his two
friends in college because one had big eyes looked like
an owl and the other had big cheeks, the bluefish.
And so he had friends named Hoody and the Blowfish
in the name of his.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Band after it. But Darius Rutgery is not Hoody, got it?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Darius is not hoody. Hoots, no, no, no, no nods.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Now you know.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Wednesday Carl Stalling is the poser behind Bugs Bunny. Oh yeah,
and he spent twenty two years working every single day
with a fifty pieced orchestra at the Warner Brothers Studios.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
What a gig. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
He ultimately scored in excess of six hundred cartoons at
the rate of one score per week between the years
of nineteen thirty six and nineteen fifty eight.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Man, oh, it's putting in some time.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Number four bananas containing about four hundred and fifty milligrams
of potassium and about point zero one percent of that
is radioactive.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
No, so if you managed to eat one.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Hundred and fifty trillion bananas in one sitting, you'd die
from radiation poisoning.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I always thinking you, but would glow like a lightning bug.
I didn't know something else is going.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
To happen to your end if you eat one hundred
and fifty trillion bananas.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Right, you're right. Number three.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
The forty two NFL players with the most points in
their careers are all kickers. The kickers, the kickers, the
forty two highest. The forty third highest scoring player is
Jerry Right, who was a wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yes, was up to the next one. Number two.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
A zepto second. Have you ever heard of a zepto second?
It's a trillianth of a billionth of a second. No
why even I'm just saying it's the smallest unit of
time ever measured, but it exists.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I mean, like, if we're measuring how long you stay
at the station every day, I could see that.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
But the number one I.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Got here before you.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And there was a war in Switzerland in eighteen o
two called the Steklarig and it was fought without with
wooden clubs because Napoleon had taken away all the weapons
from the Swiss, so all they had was wooden clubs.
So they called it the Steklag, which I assume is
like a stick battle.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Stick stick up.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And they wanted to ex fit each other, so they
used what they had. Thursday five, the dumb dumb lollipop
mystery flavor. We've never figured out what it is, and
that's because they aren't specific secret flavors. What they do
is they just add the next flavor to the batch
and then mix the two in between. Becomes the mystery flavors,
(06:09):
so they're always different. It's just whatever flavor batch they're
doing next gets mixed a little.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Bit with the old one. There you go.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Number four, the first hashtag ever used was hashtag bar camp.
A social technology expert named Chris Messina tweeted back in
August of two thousand and seven, quote, how do you
feel about using the pound sign in groups? As in
hashtag bar camp? And clearly people liked the idea. Number three,
(06:36):
Bruce Springsteen has never had a number one hit in
the US. Nope, and neither have the Backstreet Boys One Direction,
James Brown, Don Henley, Pat Benattar, and Cheryl Crow. None
of them had number one hits in the US. Now,
Bob Dylan hadn't landed a number one hit on any
Billboard chart until he was seventy eight years old, but
(06:56):
that finally happened in twenty twenty, so he finally got it.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
On two.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Fdr Franklin Delano Roosevelt. We all know it cost a
lot of money to run for president. Well where did
he get his family wealth? Well, it came thanks to
his grandfather's work in the opium trade. I guess that
was all okay back then. And finally, Number one, what's
the difference between jam, jelly and more, Well, here it is.
Jam is made from fruit. Jelly is made from juice.
(07:25):
Now preserves are different. Preserves have chunks of the fruit,
and a marmalade will have the peel and the pulp
of the fruit, so it's got a different name depending
on what part of the juice, the fruit, the peel,
the pulp, All of it is made and you get
your different ones jam, jelly preserves and marmalades.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Friday.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Number five.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
The pangolin is the only mammal that is completely covered
in scales. Completely pangolin also known as an ant eater.
Yeah yeah, scale all over its body. Number four car
mufflers and firearm silencers were made by the same guy,
Hiram Percy Maxim. Obviously that guy had a problem with
loud noises, but we're on it. Number three Steak and
(08:09):
Shake and Maxim magazine both owned by the same company
from San Antonio. I realized big Glory holdings, so you
could think about Maxim magazine next time you're ordering your
you know, steak, burger and Shake.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Number three.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
California produces almost ninety five percent of the wine grapes
grown in the United States, and if it were its
own country, California would be the fourth biggest wine producing
country in the world, behind France, Italy and Spain.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Number one and.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Is it a rock or a boulder? Well, depends on
how how big it is.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Right, A rock is considered a boulder if it's more
than ten point one inches in diameter ten inches. The
next time a rock falls on your head, get out
the measuring tape and you can say I got hit
by a boulder if it's bigger than ten point one afil.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Rock falls on my head, I'm calling you because I
know where it came from.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I mean, can you.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Confirm nor deny that statement?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
