Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guess what mango's that will. So when you were growing up,
was your dad just full of dad jokes? Ah, so
many dad jokes, Like he made a lot of puns.
But he also did this thing where he would just repeat,
like Dana Carvey catchphrases like he loved a SNL so
so he'd like do his George Bush in an Indian accent,
(00:20):
and it would just make us grown. I love the
idea of your dad in an Indian accent doing an
impression of Dana Carvey doing an impression of George Bush
or whatever it was, the church lady, whatever it was,
church lady, Well, my dad was right there with him,
and he is still full of these dad jokes. And
in fact, I think part of the fun of having
my kids grow up around my parents is actually getting
(00:42):
to see them react to the dad is of dad jokes.
And if you would have asked them, like which one
sticks out the most to them, it would probably be
when we see my parents on New Year's Day and
they know this is coming. As soon as we pull
up in the driveway, he's gonna be waiting right there
to say, I haven't seen you all year. And of
course you know they roll their eyes, but they love
(01:03):
every second of it. I know. So I I remember
my dad making some horrible joke knowingly like about um.
I think it was about mc Hammer's pala being called
mc screwdriver or something, you know, I knowingly mess up
lyrics or like do the floss dance wrong or whatever,
you know, just to get a reaction like that, ad
Dad from my kids because it's the best. Do you
(01:26):
think that if you did the floss dance correctly that
it would be any less embarrassing for them? I'm pretty
sure doesn't matter. But you know what, Mango, there's actually
good news for all of us dads. It actually turns
out there appears to be benefits of these corny jokes.
So there really fun article from the Telegraph in the
UK a couple of years ago, and it was looking
(01:47):
at a few different studies on this. But the author
of the piece, his name was Rob Kimp. He put
it this way. He says, by playing with words, dads
engage their kids and the flexibility of language, encouraging them
to think about words too. And this other research showed
that the jokes actually helped build these stronger relationships and
and in some ways may even help fathers cope with
(02:08):
their kids growing up. Huh. Well, whether the science behind
all this is sound or not, I'm in full support
of this theory me too. As you know, it's Father's
Day this weekend, so we thought we'd share some other
fun facts in honor of all the great dads in
our lives and all the other dads out there. So
let's dive in. Hey, their podcast listeners, welcome to part
(02:49):
Time Genius. I'm Will Pearson and is always I'm joined
by my good friend Mangues Ticketer, although today Mango is
joining me from the always Friendly Mouth Media Studios in
New York City. We always is love recording there whenever
we're in the city. So Mango, I hate that you're
missing this here because the man on the other side
of the soundproof glass with a sharpie and a drawing
pad holding up one dad joke after another to the glass.
(03:13):
That's our friends and producer Tristan McNeil. So what's the
latest one? It says, Uh, he's holding one up that says,
what's brown and sticky? A stick? I mean, it doesn't
get any more. Well, don't think I'm missing out on this,
because he just texted me spring is here. I got
so excited I wet my plants. That's terrible. You know,
the guy doesn't even have kids, but he's actually better
(03:35):
at dad jokes than we are. But jokes, I'm not
that surprised, to be honest with you. All Right, Well,
let's keep the dad thing going. So what's your first
factor the day, Mango? So I think you can probably
predict for I'm gonna go with the first fact here.
It's gonna be an animal fact, isn't it. Yeah. So,
so here's the thing. I feel like we've all heard
about how incredible like those emperor penguins are just like
(03:57):
protecting the eggs and keeping them warm. And then you've
got this fact about seahorses because the males are actually
the ones who get pregnant. But I actually want to
talk about a different creature, and that's the clown fish. Yeah,
it's because their paternal instincts are so strong they'll even
look after eggs that aren't their's. And and this happens
to be because of a hormone similar to oxytocin, which is,
(04:18):
you know, that love hormone that makes humans want to
be loving dad's And what they found in clownfish. Is
that their paternal instincts are so intense that you could
actually take a male seahorse and just drop a bunch
of their eggs from another nest near the clownfish, and
he'd actually protect them. He'd protect them, You've cleaned them,
fan them, all of that, just like they were his own. Wow.
(04:38):
I would assume this would just apply to fish eggs,
like if you drop some chicken eggs underwater. But but
but let's think about other fish. Like other fish wouldn't
do this, No, I mean most of the fish species
would just eat the eggs. Well, I knew you would
start with an animal fact, but that is a good one.
I feel like we have to at least acknowledge the
inspiration for Father's Day, and that's manned by the name
(05:01):
of William Jackson Smart. Smart was a Union soldier in
the Civil War, and several years after the war, Smart's
wife died, leaving him with his daughter, Sonora, who was
sixteen at the time, and her five younger brothers. Well.
Sonora was so inspired by her father's dedication to them that,
after attending a Mother's Day celebration at her church back
in nineteen o nine, she decided if there's a day
(05:23):
to recognize mothers, there should be one to recognize fathers.
And as she put it several years after his passing,
I remember everything about him. He was both father and
mother to me and my brothers and sisters. So I'm
also going to talk about a dad from way back,
and actually I'm gonna go way way back to a
father who was willing to forgive, and that's Charlemagne, who
(05:45):
was pretty busy doing whatever the Holy Roman emperor did
during the early Middle Ages, and apparently one of those
things was having twenty children. But despite having so many children,
Charlemagne was insistent that his kids be well educated, whether
they were his sons or daughters, and some of his
kids were born to wives and some to concubines. But
his oldest son, unfortunately known as Pepin the Hunchback, was
(06:06):
eventually passed over to be the next in line to rule,
and this was likely because he was considered to be illegitimate. Well,
this didn't sit well with Peppin, and he and a
few others conspired to assassinate Charlemagne. So you think that
they would have all been put to death, right, But
instead the emperor did something merciful, and he decided to
spare him and instead sent him off to a monastery
(06:26):
for the rest of his life. Wow, such a forgiving dad.
That is wild. And twenty kids, that's just unbelievable. All right, well,
I'm going to hop on over to the world of
pop culture. And as we know, ron Howard has been
in the news a lot recently, both directing solo and
of course he's also the executive producer and the narrator
of one of the funniest shows ever arrested Development. And
(06:49):
I'm not sure anyone has had more of an interesting
career in TV and film than Ron Howard. But the
world first got to know little Ronnie Howard when he
was just six years old in his role as Opie
to Tailor. And if you've ever seen the show, you
remember that iconic opening scene when Opie and Andy are
just walking along that dirt path holding their fishing poles.
You remember this, right, yeah, of course, every time I
(07:10):
think about it makes me want to whistle. Right. Well,
you probably also remember the part where Opie picks up
a rock and tosses it into the water. I'm not
sure why, but apparently this was an important part of
the scene to the director, because it turns out Opie
wasn't quite strong enough or coordinated enough to get the
rock all the way to the water, because it's not
like it was that far away. So they tried a
(07:33):
couple of times, and both times the rock fell short
of the water. So what they did was they had
a prop man hide behind a bush, and when Opie
through the next one, the assistant director then yelled throw it,
and the prop man tossed another rock the rest of
the way so that it would splash in the water.
And so that's why if you're watching closely, and you
may have noticed this before if you've been watching really closely,
(07:55):
but you'll see a bit of gravity defiance in that
lag from the throw to to the splash. So I'm
totally going back and watching this online now. And unrelated
to this, despite all that Ron Howard is accomplished, it's
hard for me not to immediately think of one of
his appearances on Saturday Night Live. I mean, you know,
we're both longtime SNL fans, and and this was back
in the Eddie Murphy days. I actually already know exactly
(08:17):
where you're going with this. Yeah, when Murphy mixed up
two of his most famous characters, Opie Taylor and then
Richie Cunningham from Happy Days, and then called him Opie Cunningham.
And then he proceeded to try and get the studio
audience to chant Opie Cunningham. So great. Alright, So, so
what do you have next? Well, I also have one
from the world of pop culture, but I think I'm
(08:39):
gonna save it and instead talk about the record for
the oldest person to father a child. Now, they have
not surprisingly been several claims to this title, since it's
often really difficult to verify the date of birth for
people born a century ago. But the one that seems
at least pretty close to accurate is an Indian man
by the name of rum Groov who had his first
child at the age of ninety four. And I say
(09:00):
first child because he had his second and ninety six,
and I believe he's still alive at the age of
a hundred two ish. That is incredible. Wow. Yeah, And
he's kind of the poster boy or poster old man
from vegetarianism, because that's actually what he credits for his quote,
stamina and virility. You remember how you were a vegetarian
(09:21):
for so long. I mean, you're mostly vegetarian these days,
but you've been vegetarian for years, but your diet consisted
of I would guess. I actually, scientifically, i'd put the
estimate at six was McDonald's French fries. And then, of
course we learned that they've been cooked in animal fat
for all of those years, which is a for effort, right,
(09:41):
I guess. All right, Well back to history. So did
you know that the term Founding Fathers wasn't actually coined
until the twentieth century. So the term first appeared in
a speech by Warren G. Harding. This was, of course,
the same man who won on his inspiring campaign slogan
a return to normalcy. I feel like get goose bumps
just hearing that phrase. Yeah, me too. Well, anyway, in
(10:04):
his nineteen twenty acceptance speech, he said it was the
intent of the Founding Fathers to give this republic a
dependable and enduring popular government. But even after that, the
term wasn't really that common until Kenneth Bernard Umbright published
the book it was called Founding Fathers, Men who shaped
our tradition. Okay, well, we each have one more fact
to go. But before we get to that, let's take
(10:25):
a quick break. Welcome back to part time Genius, where
we're sharing facts about father's Okay, well, so what's your
last fact of the day. All right, Well, you know,
(10:45):
I was curious to look at which culture has put
a greater emphasis on father spending time with their children,
and it was really interesting to read about the Acca
Pygmy people in Central Africa. And this was for a
couple of reasons. So first, a few studies have shown
that of fathers spend more time with their infant children
than any other society, with one study showing that they
have their infants within arms reach nearly fifty of their
(11:09):
time now. But another thing that was interesting to me
just in general about the Aca is just how interchangeable
the male and female roles are. In fact, they almost
don't have male and female roles. So sometimes the women
will hunt and the men will take care of the children.
Sometimes it's the reverse, sometimes the men will prepare meals
while the women are preparing the next camp, and of
(11:30):
course you know vice versa. That's really interesting. All right, Well,
for my last fact, as promised, I'm gonna go back
to pop culture and a couple of years ago, g
Q had this online poll slash tournament where they were
trying to determine the greatest dad in TV history, and
the final four came down to Uncle Phil from the
Fresh Prince Tim the to a man Taylor J. Pritchett
(11:50):
for Modern Family, who by the way, beat out himself
as Al Bundy just to get there. And and then
there was Homer Simpson and Uncle Phil ended up winning.
And and yes, he was, of course a good dad.
But I actually think I agree with the g Q
writer John ort Ved who wrote of Homer quote, he
takes a night job at the quickie Mart so he
can afford a pony for Lisa. He sends Bart to
(12:12):
summer camp, even when Bart fails to make the grades
of creed upon to earn the indulgence. He gives up
his dream job at a bowling alley so that he
can afford to support a third child. I mean, for
as much of a goofball as Homer Simpson is, it's
obvious he loves his kids. Oh there's no doubt about that.
So I would wish upon all of us that may
we all have the dedication of the Akka Dads and
(12:35):
the sacrifice of Homer Simpson so you know, I was
going to give the fact Off Trophy to you for
that last fact it was a good one, but then
you know, I thought maybe we should give it to
all the dad's out there for Father's Day. But you know,
I got the same angle. I don't know, if you've
been watching Tristan these last few days over there with
these sea monkeys he's been raising on his desk, if
you caught a glimpse of this at all, I have,
(12:56):
and you can see how proud he is of each
and every sea monkey, every single one of them, and
only about half of them are dad at this point,
so he's just doing a great job. So here's to Tristan,
and happy Father's Day to our dads and all the
fathers and father figures out there. Thanks again to Mouth
Media for hosting me today, and thanks to Eve's Jeff
Coche for always helpful research. And we'll be back with
(13:18):
a full length episode on Wednesday.
