Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fuck that to the day. Let's go we make you
look smart in your buddies. This the FuG that to
the day. Hey, Hell, good morning, brother, hug, good morning,
Good morning, sir. I brought in some fun facts for
you guys. I was going to bring in fun facts

(00:20):
regardless of what happened last night. I was just gonna
do this. I was gonna do the bit. I was
going to do all the bits today. All the bits
were planned already, nothing was going to change. Well, they
need yeahs, you need the bits. Some of you may
have heard of this before. I think it'll be new
to some of you. Gatorade. Gatorade was created in nineteen
sixty five. Researchers were formulating a drink to rehydrate the

(00:44):
athletes at the University of Florida, and since the school's
nickname is the Florida Gators, the initial idea came to
call it gator Aid. Right. So, the earliest versions consisted
of a mixture of water, sodium, sugar, but ascium phosphate,
and real lemon juice. I'll tell you what gatorade used
to bite. I remember my dad was a workout guy,

(01:07):
and my dad used to run and he drank those
early early versions of gatorade in the in the eighties
at least, and it tasted completely different. I remember taking
a step of it and going holy, I mean it
was a bit hard. I remember the commercials it had
the old doctor guy that helped formula say, well, naturally,
we just called it gatorade. Well they did retro commercials. Yeah,

(01:28):
like that. Anytime I see someone drinking gearid, I go,
you run an a marathon later, because why else would
you be drawing gatorade? Yeah. White elephant gifts got their
name from an old practice by kings in Asia, where
if they were upset with a subject, they'd give them
a rare i bet albino elephant, which is expensive and

(01:49):
very difficult to maintain. That is fun. The gray ones
so hard to maintain too. Yeah. I would imagine care
for any elephant of any color of any kind would
be worse. One would get dirty, difficult, but the white
ones apparently were more difficult. Quaker Oats, I just bought
some oatmeal yesterday. Cool story, Rod Neat. Quaker Oats briefly

(02:12):
owned a video game company from nineteen eighty two to
nineteen eighty three. They made atari games. They released fourteen
of them, and it goes against being a Quaker. Nothing
was a hit. They shut down the division. I don't
even know what those fourteen games are. That's neat. There
you have it, guys. It's the fuck that's of the day.

(02:34):
We make you look smart and funny. Everybody's it's the
fuck that's to the day.
