This week's theme for Effect of the Day is the calendar. Okay,
it's calendar themed okay week, and today we're going to
be looking at the names of the months of our year.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Have you ever thought about where they come from?
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Jen after Jen, after Jen, Jen.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Love lovely Jen, February after lovely fib Well, here we go, okay, Okay.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Originally there were only ten months, January and February, with
the last one to be added, but they put them
on the front, okay, because they felt that that's where
it needed to be.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
This is the Romulus calendar.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
This is roman slight change to where we're at now
with our Gregorian calendar, but that's based off this calendar.
So January and February we're added last. Before that, there
were only ten months. January takes its name from Janus,
the Roman god of beginnings.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And endings because it's the ending, because it's the ending.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, the beginning of the year. But it sounds like anus,
doesn't it. That's what you get in there.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It's a digesting the beginning of the end, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Yeah, yeah, So that's Janus is January, the Roman god
of beginnings and endings. February comes from the word februm,
which is purification, and the februer, which are instruments used
in the purification.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
It was also a.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Celebration they had throughout the month of February, and on
February fifteen there was a particular thing that happened where
you would clean your house and put salt outside, and
young men naked except for a goat skin cape dashed
around rome sacred boundary, plainfully whipping woman with.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Strips of goat leather. How dare you? It was to
promote fertility, So that was February.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Tradition has it that Romulus named the fourth March fourth
third month Martys after his own father, Mars, the god of.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
War, So March is named after Mars.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
The following was April Aprilus, and then Maeus and then Junius.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Names derived from Roman culture.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
For example, April is named after Aphrodite, the ancient Greek
goddess of love and sexuality, and it was the first
month of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Old Rome sounds very horny.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
I mean you were naked all the time.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And then the ones that weren't just walking around kind
of towels, just going to drink over them a little bit,
some curtains over them. Maya is may who's like you
might have heard of the singer the singer Maya, Yes,
from the ely.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Lady Martin the point of lady Marma.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Actually she's a fantastic thinger. She just wasn't given.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I mean, you're up against Christina Aguilera, Yeah she was.
She was Juno the goldness of war, and woman gives
us the name of June. Now from there on out
on the original ten the names of the month didn't
change from their origin.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They were just named after.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Adam Levine and the other members of Marine five Maroon
believe correct.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
So the Nu Miracle names of the months and the
second half remain unchanged until the end of the Roman Republic,
where Quintillus and sex till Us Quintillus, the fifth Sex
till Us. The sixth month were renamed after Julius and
Augustus Caesar.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
So there's your July and your August, right.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
This changed their four months September, October, November, December because
they thought, going forth, I bet there's gonna be some
other great Roman leaders and we'll be able to name
these rename these months after them, and not soon afterward.
It was kind of the end of the Roman Empire,
wasn't it. So the horningness got a bit much and
then collapse. Probably, I think if you're going to folk
on nothing but six, you know you've got to have
(04:03):
a bird of agriculture.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Hit the butt when you said, but.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well, I mean of that horning.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
That's going to be an aspect of it. So then
the months afterwards never changed. They just stayed with their
corresponding numbers. When they were ten months, September was the
seventh month. Of course, when you put two on the front,
it becomes the ninth month. It's quite this is a
lot fan you're going to need to go to something.
It feels like you've given twelve facts.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You've given us many facts. It's all about the names
of the month.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Baby, We're going to I feel a bit overwhelmed. Yeah,
I'm feeling overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Seven. Yeah, October is eight because I'm going to need
to go about six. There's nine. Yeah, what are you
doing about sixty? Were two of the Romans did this?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's amazing they got anything done with the amount of
horniness going on. They were renaming months and changing calendars.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
And overwhelmed and just feelinghelmed.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
December, the original tenth month for ten, became the twelfth.
Speaker 3 (05:00):

tomorrow effecting me About those.

overwhelmings to put I received every night after my two rocketed,
Moron co hosts couldn't quite comprehend too much information at
once about where the months got their name.

I understood it, but it just it went on. It
just went on and on the last twelve months I
lost and didn't all the months.

We can totally be done. But if anybody into a
little bit of autritional Japanese calendar, you know, you know,
go till day.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
That was the only message we had about it. I
think everyone else might have just popped off stations. Yeah,
we're now just.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Calendar week. I'll be honest.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
October eighth, best daying. That's from Carolyn May.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I think the Firth frog starts singing, this is your
weakest fact of the day week we've either had.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So it's interesting, it's fascinating. We just take a calendar
for grint, and it's just there every day.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
What day is it journal? Even what day of the
week is it Tuesday? Some like sixty firemen facts. If
we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Calendar weeks, we'll take a week off.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Hailey can do fine a week.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Yeah, not just the fire men.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Find Dalmatians. You can do as many. A peasant has
thought they could wear a crown better than the king
until the hefty weight crown has placed. The pod Brussels
sprouts had in the snow. Yeah all right, yeah, starts
sinking out.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's thinking out. We're gonna have sound. Some Japanese traditional calendar.
So today's fact to the day day as there is a.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Folks, the traditional Japanese agricultural calendar has seven and two
micro seasons.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Plays Flitsborniley play it is.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Today's fact of the day is for calendar week the table.
People are loving, loving because everyone just takes calendars for granted.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
You say this, Hailey and I have not been impressed
this week have where it's been a little faster.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
At both underwhelmed and overwhelmed.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Today's fact of the day is for eleven years, the
Soviet Union had no weekends.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Okay, okay, we because they just worked. They worked so
bitterment of the of the country.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
September nineteen, September twenty nine, nineteen twenty nine was the
last Sunday of Sundays. Yeah, and the Soviet Union, as
Joseph Stalin said, it makes no sense that everybody takes
a day off at the same time, because look, these
factories and machines have been so unproductive. Yeah, and so
they were six days. They were working six days a week.
(12:03):
Sunday was the only day off anybody got. Big church
day for the Orthodox Russian religious, you know, just a
family day, play in your house, the sorts of things
you always do on your day off. Well, it was
only one day off. It was a six day working week.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
So it's not weekend. It's just a day off, a
day off Sunday.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
And so Sunday September twenty ninth was the last time
before the new five day working week was introduced. But
everybody was on a different five day working week. Okay,
your Tuesday to Saturdays. It's smart, isn't it. One seventh
of the labor force worked Saturday to worked Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and then the next seventh started Monday and worked through
(12:44):
tall Friday Friday, and then the next one started Tuesday
and worked through it to all Saturday, so it was
always working.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, it was only a small percentage of people not working.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Every day cheapest, so that meant that our factories and
everything were far more productive. But obviously people didn't love it, yeah,
because they couldn't. Hey, you might have family that you
want to spend time with, but they're on a different
five day working week. Now you do have two days
off a week, but it might not be two days
that links up with anybody else.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I mean, that's just kind of life for a lot
of people right now. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
That's what I was going to get to is that
then they changed it to after a while, they were like,
this is working, so well, let's just put it back
to a six six day working week. But everybody starts
on a different day. So it went from the five
day working Now you're back where you started. You're not
getting days off at the same time as your family.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh that's awful.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
People were fairly unhappy with it, and so it was
scrapped by nineteen forty eleven years of trial and error
and changing after it began in nineteen twenty nine, they
brought back Sunday being the day off and Soviet Russia.
But now, like you say, like everybody works, different shift,
workers work throughout, not really about calendars. So is it?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well it is because here I stick it up your ass.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It was a nineteen thirty Soviet calendar with the five
day work week, but it's not really basic demands down
the side.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
And this would be what group you to each Thomas
fire Each group.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Had an age, group had a symbol.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
For example, there was a there was the group represented
by the sickle, there was the hammer time it was
the abs kind of there was a star and a flag,
and so you would know that that by this calendar,
that was the start of your five day right on
the start of your next five day work week. Notts
So you said it wasn't a calendar, but I've just
shown you. I feel like, well, that looks like a
(14:25):
big wall planner right now. I have kept asking like,
do something about the stalls in the malls.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, do something about the fireman's calendar.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
You know, you know about the stalls and the malls.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Okay, that's only going to get more and more convoluted.
So today's.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Today's fact to day. For eleven years, from nineteen twenty
nine to nineteen forty, the Soviet Union had no weekends.
Play Fable and Hailey, Today's fact of the day. It's
calendar week, and I would like to thank everybody for
the kind and positive feedback.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Apart from these to al jecks that I work with
has just been a bit underwhelming this week.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Facts are plenty about calaries, hard facts about calendars. I
have to dumb it down for these two doo brans,
a couple of doom rains by visiting When can I
reuse this calendar dot com?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Yeah, because the year sinks up again?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
When the year sinks up and someone has made a
website so if you find an old calendar of let
your grandparents. Man, this has got a bit of retro call.
When will I be able to use this again? The
dates and the days of the week.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I love? This is great, This is great, great, This
is exactly what we wanted for calendar. You don.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Trying to give people intelligent calendar information.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
But what about the one with all those seasons? Seasons
in the woods, like there's no like mathematical. It's not
like every seven or every ten years. It's all over
the shows.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
It's not consistent because if leap years jumps in the max,
you've you've got a problem on your hands. So in
twenty twenty four, if you find an old calendar from
the year nineteen twelve, nineteen forty, nineteen sixty eight, or
nineteen ninety six, you can reuse it.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Ninety six I'll have one of those somewhere.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
In ninety six hunding around somewhere.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Yeah, nineteen twelve will be harder, And.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
If you want to keep your twenty twenty four calendar,
you'll be able to reuse that in the year twenty
fifty two.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Okay, twenty here you can still be alive.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Can you check for it?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Because we are releasing a calendar at the end of
the year full of incredibly motivational quotes from US on Horses.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Twenty twenty five usable a lot of years, because this
is great. Your twenty twenty five calendar will be reusable
in twenty thirty one, twenty forty two, twenty fifty three,
twenty fifty nine, twenty seventy, twenty eighty one, twenty eighty six,
twenty ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
This is great.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Maybe was this your a leap year? Yeah, that'll be why.
That'll be why this is great.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
That'll be why I'm just thinking financially for our motivational
horse calend under.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So what I year were you born? Hayle? You we
born in nineteen eighty and nine?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Is it.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
So you could find a calendar from nineteen eighty nine?
And actually not for a little while, twenty twenty twenty
twenty three would have been a year you could have
used the nineteen eighty nine calendar. Well that's gone, so
it's of no use twenty thirty four now, so in
twenty thirty four, you'll know whatever day of the week
your birthday was on?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
That was it Sunday? The weekday was worn? Yeah, Sunday.
I was born on a Saturday.
Speaker 5 (17:32):

run for longer. The Firefighter calendar precursor okay, they I'll
tell you how they came about stripez.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Was that the precursor? That is final candar No. No.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Beefcake magazines, beefcake magazine, beefcake magazines.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
What's beefcake?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Yeah? Buff men?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Buff men?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Who?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Right, I've heard of men men called beefcakes before, like, oh,
he's a beefcake.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But you know the origins of the term beefcake.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
They needed a male version of cheesecake because back in
the nineteen thirties, if a dame was cutting a nice silhouette,
you'd say, well, she's a cheesecake because she's delicious or something.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
She's sweet and delicious.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Because you can see the passion for it. PEPs on yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
She's full of PEPs Yeah, crunchy PEPs and delicious cheesecake.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
So then they were like, well, what's the male version
of a cheesecake? And it was the beefcake. Now how
men love beef So there were physique.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Magazines beefcake magazines, which were popular with men who had
something to hide. In the nineteen forties men who had
a few fellow friends would they tell their wives it
was because they were into the gym bingo. So basically,
you think men's health if you've got if you've got
a straight friend, if you've got a straight friend who's like,
(21:34):
I get it for the workouts.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Yeah, I just want to look at what I want
my body to look like.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, Bryan Reynolds pictures lovely. But let's not pretend that
hasn't been used as a little bit of material for
the old brain matter there.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
So they were very popular in the nineteen forties, and
they were while they were targeting females yeap, mostly being
picked up by amazing secret homosexuals.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
So then pornography grew.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
In popularity in the nineteen and the United States in
the nineteen sixties and seventies there was manually enterprises incorporated
versus day you know how every court case in Americas
and so versus so and so. And after that, male
full frontal nudity was made legal because prior to that
you could have female nudity, but you couldn't have male nudity.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh my god. That was a male fight for equality
after female equality.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Yeah, wasn't quality means everyone.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
But it turned out women were a little bit too
shy to be buying Beefcake magazine on whole male pornography.
It was a little bit humha. So the way around
it was, every woman needs a calendar.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You've got to run the house.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
How do you know what day it is?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You've got to know what day Susie's via a violin recitalist.
It must have happened on the calendar. Well, they started
putting the beefcake men on the calendars. Briefcake calendars started
selling very very well. And then you know, it came
down to it. Firefighters needed money. Yes, they needed extra
money to fund they're fired apartment.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I tell you what.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Those hoses aren't cheap.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Those big hoses, oh god no, and often canvas hoses
very off thatack hoses.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Back man two handles, yeah, you know, powerful, powerful, We
the nose a little bit.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
You've got to get it wrong.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
So then they were like, you know, we need money,
and I don't know if you guys have noticed, we're
all pretty shredded because we've got to be super special.
Run up the stairs, run up the seats because and
the another lift you can't, and a fire you can't
use the left can God, I.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Know they're like, don't use a fire It's like, well,
I'm not going to. I want to get down here fast.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So they were like, these calendars sell, well, we're all beefcakes.
We want to make some money. And that's how they
started and it was born.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
See this was the kind of fact we needed.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Literally on the edge of my seat, I'm enticed. Nineteen
eighties saw the birth of the calendar.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And not was it overseas, not New Zealand because New Zealand'
obviously adopted the Fireman calendar.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
New Zealand has adopted Fiming caliber America first off right
In the twenty first century, five flight of calendars have
become very popular and Asia, especially Taiwan.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Oh and twenty eighteen, the Taiwanese government you part of it?
Is that part of China or not? Can you ever
stand on that? Not on calendar week next week? For
is that really China?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The fact of the day.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
And twenty eighteen in the Taiwanese government invited two models
from the Australian Firefighter calendar because remember they made massive
amounts of money after those massive bushfires. The Australian firefighters
had a calendar that was like a record break for
how many it sold to. The Taiwanese government invited them
and they gave out of a ten thousand calendars. And
now those two Australian firefighting models are considered celebrities in
(24:36):
Taiwan and they go back and they get like massive
crowds of adoring woman.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Oh god, amazing. So today's back to the day is
I loved it. Yeah, good good from you. Fire This
is what I expected every day this week. Yeah, firefighter,
I think we've all got something to out of this week.
We've got we have We've had the six six to
finish off the week. Yeah. So let's face that this
was straight six appeal. Yeah, we had but a history.
(25:01):
Yeah that really long calendar for me.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
No. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
So today's fact of the day is that firefighter calendars
were predated by beefcake calendars, which are predated by beefcake magazines.
Fact of the day, day day, day day.

This week's theme for Effect of the Day is the calendar. Okay,
it's calendar themed okay week, and today we're going to
be looking at the names of the months of our year.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Have you ever thought about where they come from?
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Jen after Jen, after Jen, Jen.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Love lovely Jen, February after lovely fib Well, here we go, okay, Okay.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Originally there were only ten months, January and February, with
the last one to be added, but they put them
on the front, okay, because they felt that that's where
it needed to be.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
This is the Romulus calendar.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
This is roman slight change to where we're at now
with our Gregorian calendar, but that's based off this calendar.
So January and February we're added last. Before that, there
were only ten months. January takes its name from Janus,
the Roman god of beginnings.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And endings because it's the ending, because it's the ending.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, the beginning of the year. But it sounds like anus,
doesn't it. That's what you get in there.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It's a digesting the beginning of the end, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Yeah, yeah, So that's Janus is January, the Roman god
of beginnings and endings. February comes from the word februm,
which is purification, and the februer, which are instruments used
in the purification.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
It was also a.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Celebration they had throughout the month of February, and on
February fifteen there was a particular thing that happened where
you would clean your house and put salt outside, and
young men naked except for a goat skin cape dashed
around rome sacred boundary, plainfully whipping woman with.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Strips of goat leather. How dare you? It was to
promote fertility, So that was February.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Tradition has it that Romulus named the fourth March fourth
third month Martys after his own father, Mars, the god of.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
War, So March is named after Mars.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
The following was April Aprilus, and then Maeus and then Junius.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Names derived from Roman culture.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
For example, April is named after Aphrodite, the ancient Greek
goddess of love and sexuality, and it was the first
month of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Old Rome sounds very horny.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
I mean you were naked all the time.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And then the ones that weren't just walking around kind
of towels, just going to drink over them a little bit,
some curtains over them. Maya is may who's like you
might have heard of the singer the singer Maya, Yes,
from the ely.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Lady Martin the point of lady Marma.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Actually she's a fantastic thinger. She just wasn't given.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I mean, you're up against Christina Aguilera, Yeah she was.
She was Juno the goldness of war, and woman gives
us the name of June. Now from there on out
on the original ten the names of the month didn't
change from their origin.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They were just named after.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Adam Levine and the other members of Marine five Maroon
believe correct.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
So the Nu Miracle names of the months and the
second half remain unchanged until the end of the Roman Republic,
where Quintillus and sex till Us Quintillus, the fifth Sex
till Us. The sixth month were renamed after Julius and
Augustus Caesar.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
So there's your July and your August, right.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
This changed their four months September, October, November, December because
they thought, going forth, I bet there's gonna be some
other great Roman leaders and we'll be able to name
these rename these months after them, and not soon afterward.
It was kind of the end of the Roman Empire,
wasn't it. So the horningness got a bit much and
then collapse. Probably, I think if you're going to folk
on nothing but six, you know you've got to have
(04:03):
a bird of agriculture.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Hit the butt when you said, but.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well, I mean of that horning.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
That's going to be an aspect of it. So then
the months afterwards never changed. They just stayed with their
corresponding numbers. When they were ten months, September was the
seventh month. Of course, when you put two on the front,
it becomes the ninth month. It's quite this is a
lot fan you're going to need to go to something.
It feels like you've given twelve facts.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You've given us many facts. It's all about the names
of the month.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Baby, We're going to I feel a bit overwhelmed. Yeah,
I'm feeling overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Seven. Yeah, October is eight because I'm going to need
to go about six. There's nine. Yeah, what are you
doing about sixty? Were two of the Romans did this?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's amazing they got anything done with the amount of
horniness going on. They were renaming months and changing calendars.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
And overwhelmed and just feelinghelmed.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
December, the original tenth month for ten, became the twelfth.
Speaker 3 (05:00):

overwhelmings to put I received every night after my two rocketed,
Moron co hosts couldn't quite comprehend too much information at
once about where the months got their name.

I understood it, but it just it went on. It
just went on and on the last twelve months I
lost and didn't all the months.

So it's interesting, it's fascinating. We just take a calendar
for grint, and it's just there every day.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
What day is it journal? Even what day of the

we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's thinking out. We're gonna have sound. Some Japanese traditional calendar.
So today's fact to the day day as there is a.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Folks, the traditional Japanese agricultural calendar has seven and two
micro seasons.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Plays Flitsborniley play it is.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Today's fact of the day is for calendar week the table.
People are loving, loving because everyone just takes calendars for granted.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
You say this, Hailey and I have not been impressed
this week have where it's been a little faster.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
At both underwhelmed and overwhelmed.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Today's fact of the day is for eleven years, the
Soviet Union had no weekends.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Okay, okay, we because they just worked. They worked so
bitterment of the of the country.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
September nineteen, September twenty nine, nineteen twenty nine was the
last Sunday of Sundays. Yeah, and the Soviet Union, as
Joseph Stalin said, it makes no sense that everybody takes
a day off at the same time, because look, these
factories and machines have been so unproductive. Yeah, and so
they were six days. They were working six days a week.
(12:03):
Sunday was the only day off anybody got. Big church
day for the Orthodox Russian religious, you know, just a
family day, play in your house, the sorts of things
you always do on your day off. Well, it was
only one day off. It was a six day working week.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
So it's not weekend. It's just a day off, a
day off Sunday.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
And so Sunday September twenty ninth was the last time
before the new five day working week was introduced. But
everybody was on a different five day working week. Okay,
your Tuesday to Saturdays. It's smart, isn't it. One seventh
of the labor force worked Saturday to worked Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and then the next seventh started Monday and worked through
(12:44):
tall Friday Friday, and then the next one started Tuesday
and worked through it to all Saturday, so it was
always working.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, it was only a small percentage of people not working.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Every day cheapest, so that meant that our factories and
everything were far more productive. But obviously people didn't love it, yeah,
because they couldn't. Hey, you might have family that you
want to spend time with, but they're on a different
five day working week. Now you do have two days
off a week, but it might not be two days
that links up with anybody else.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I mean, that's just kind of life for a lot
of people right now. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
That's what I was going to get to is that
then they changed it to after a while, they were like,
this is working, so well, let's just put it back
to a six six day working week. But everybody starts
on a different day. So it went from the five
day working Now you're back where you started. You're not
getting days off at the same time as your family.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh that's awful.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
People were fairly unhappy with it, and so it was
scrapped by nineteen forty eleven years of trial and error
and changing after it began in nineteen twenty nine, they
brought back Sunday being the day off and Soviet Russia.
But now, like you say, like everybody works, different shift,
workers work throughout, not really about calendars. So is it?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well it is because here I stick it up your ass.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It was a nineteen thirty Soviet calendar with the five
day work week, but it's not really basic demands down
the side.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
And this would be what group you to each Thomas
fire Each group.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Had an age, group had a symbol.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
For example, there was a there was the group represented
by the sickle, there was the hammer time it was
the abs kind of there was a star and a flag,
and so you would know that that by this calendar,
that was the start of your five day right on
the start of your next five day work week. Notts
So you said it wasn't a calendar, but I've just
shown you. I feel like, well, that looks like a
(14:25):
big wall planner right now. I have kept asking like,
do something about the stalls in the malls.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, do something about the fireman's calendar.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
You know, you know about the stalls and the malls.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Okay, that's only going to get more and more convoluted.
So today's.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Today's fact to day. For eleven years, from nineteen twenty
nine to nineteen forty, the Soviet Union had no weekends.
Play Fable and Hailey, Today's fact of the day. It's
calendar week, and I would like to thank everybody for
the kind and positive feedback.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Apart from these to al jecks that I work with
has just been a bit underwhelming this week.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Facts are plenty about calaries, hard facts about calendars. I
have to dumb it down for these two doo brans,
a couple of doom rains by visiting When can I
reuse this calendar dot com?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Yeah, because the year sinks up again?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
When the year sinks up and someone has made a
website so if you find an old calendar of let
your grandparents. Man, this has got a bit of retro call.

in the woods, like there's no like mathematical. It's not
like every seven or every ten years. It's all over
the shows.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
It's not consistent because if leap years jumps in the max,
you've you've got a problem on your hands. So in
twenty twenty four, if you find an old calendar from
the year nineteen twelve, nineteen forty, nineteen sixty eight, or
nineteen ninety six, you can reuse it.

is great. Your twenty twenty five calendar will be reusable
in twenty thirty one, twenty forty two, twenty fifty three,
twenty fifty nine, twenty seventy, twenty eighty one, twenty eighty six,
twenty ninety eight.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Maybe was this your a leap year? Yeah, that'll be why.

horse calend under.

twenty three would have been a year you could have
used the nineteen eighty nine calendar. Well that's gone, so

Legendary radio segment. Yeah, okay, historically lengthy. Name one that's

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Was that the precursor? That is final candar No. No.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Beefcake magazines, beefcake magazine, beefcake magazines.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
What's beefcake?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Yeah? Buff men?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Buff men?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Who?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Right, I've heard of men men called beefcakes before, like, oh,
he's a beefcake.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But you know the origins of the term beefcake.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
They needed a male version of cheesecake because back in
the nineteen thirties, if a dame was cutting a nice silhouette,
you'd say, well, she's a cheesecake because she's delicious or something.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
She's sweet and delicious.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Because you can see the passion for it. PEPs on yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
She's full of PEPs Yeah, crunchy PEPs and delicious cheesecake.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
So then they were like, well, what's the male version
of a cheesecake? And it was the beefcake. Now how
men love beef So there were physique.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Magazines beefcake magazines, which were popular with men who had
something to hide. In the nineteen forties men who had
a few fellow friends would they tell their wives it
was because they were into the gym bingo. So basically,
you think men's health if you've got if you've got
a straight friend, if you've got a straight friend who's like,
(21:34):
I get it for the workouts.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Yeah, I just want to look at what I want
my body to look like.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, Bryan Reynolds pictures lovely. But let's not pretend that
hasn't been used as a little bit of material for
the old brain matter there.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
So they were very popular in the nineteen forties, and
they were while they were targeting females yeap, mostly being
picked up by amazing secret homosexuals.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
So then pornography grew.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
In popularity in the nineteen and the United States in
the nineteen sixties and seventies there was manually enterprises incorporated
versus day you know how every court case in Americas
and so versus so and so. And after that, male
full frontal nudity was made legal because prior to that
you could have female nudity, but you couldn't have male nudity.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh my god. That was a male fight for equality
after female equality.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Yeah, wasn't quality means everyone.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
But it turned out women were a little bit too
shy to be buying Beefcake magazine on whole male pornography.
It was a little bit humha. So the way around
it was, every woman needs a calendar.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You've got to run the house.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
How do you know what day it is?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You've got to know what day Susie's via a violin recitalist.
It must have happened on the calendar. Well, they started
putting the beefcake men on the calendars. Briefcake calendars started
selling very very well. And then you know, it came
down to it. Firefighters needed money. Yes, they needed extra
money to fund they're fired apartment.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I tell you what.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Those hoses aren't cheap.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Those big hoses, oh god no, and often canvas hoses
very off thatack hoses.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Back man two handles, yeah, you know, powerful, powerful, We
the nose a little bit.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
You've got to get it wrong.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
So then they were like, you know, we need money,
and I don't know if you guys have noticed, we're
all pretty shredded because we've got to be super special.
Run up the stairs, run up the seats because and
the another lift you can't, and a fire you can't
use the left can God, I.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Know they're like, don't use a fire It's like, well,
I'm not going to. I want to get down here fast.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So they were like, these calendars sell, well, we're all beefcakes.
We want to make some money. And that's how they
started and it was born.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
See this was the kind of fact we needed.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Literally on the edge of my seat, I'm enticed. Nineteen
eighties saw the birth of the calendar.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And not was it overseas, not New Zealand because New Zealand'
obviously adopted the Fireman calendar.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
New Zealand has adopted Fiming caliber America first off right
In the twenty first century, five flight of calendars have
become very popular and Asia, especially Taiwan.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Oh and twenty eighteen, the Taiwanese government you part of it?
Is that part of China or not? Can you ever
stand on that? Not on calendar week next week? For
is that really China?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The fact of the day.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
And twenty eighteen in the Taiwanese government invited two models
from the Australian Firefighter calendar because remember they made massive
amounts of money after those massive bushfires. The Australian firefighters
had a calendar that was like a record break for
how many it sold to. The Taiwanese government invited them
and they gave out of a ten thousand calendars. And
now those two Australian firefighting models are considered celebrities in
(24:36):
Taiwan and they go back and they get like massive
crowds of adoring woman.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Oh god, amazing. So today's back to the day is
I loved it. Yeah, good good from you. Fire This
is what I expected every day this week. Yeah, firefighter,
I think we've all got something to out of this week.
We've got we have We've had the six six to
finish off the week. Yeah. So let's face that this
was straight six appeal. Yeah, we had but a history.
(25:01):
Yeah that really long calendar for me.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
No. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
So today's fact of the day is that firefighter calendars
were predated by beefcake calendars, which are predated by beefcake magazines.
Fact of the day, day day, day day.

Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
