with some fun facts for you today. I like this
one because you just look around me. I'm a sharpie,
I am a post it note, I'm a highlighter guy.

(00:23):
All right. I like the school supplies. Okay, I got
my stapler right there. I'm ready to go highlighters, which
nothing has changed since college. Look at this piece of
paper in front of me. Three quarters of it is highlighted.
What was the rule twenty percent when you're in college.
I think they told you, like you shouldn't be highlighting
twenty percent of your books. My books were highlighted eighty percent.

(00:46):
I was like, they's the one thing I'm paying attention.
I'm not highlighting. Uh huh. And then you buy people's
use books, and you've had that person thanks if you
appreciate it. I was like, thank you for highlighting. If

this guy. All yeah. Highlighters were originally yellow, which I'm

(01:09):
looking at this through a yellow highlighter right now as

Tea bags were invented by accident in nineteen oh eight
a salesman in New York. He sent samples of tea
to people in silk bags. They assumed that they were
supposed to put the entire bag into the pot. And
then the trend caught off that I just assumed everything
with tea came from Britain. We invented the tea bags,

(01:55):
fucking England. Yeah, we invented all the tea bags. Next up, stop, stop, guys,

Darius Rutger, Hoody. You call him hoody, and you know what,
many people did call him hoody hoody and the blowfish

(02:15):
assumed that he was Hoody and the guys in the
band were the Blowfish. No, those were two nicknames for
his friends in college. One had big eyes and looked
like an owl. They used to call him Hooty, and
the other one had big cheeks blowfish. It was Hoody
and the Blowfish. They were friends of Darius. That's neat,

(02:38):
We make you look smart. Leonard Skinner, the gym teacher.
