Hello.
Hey, so tell me you're on a diet without telling me we're on a diet.
Crampsey and I both have our giant water jugs with us.
And I just filled mine up like for the first time today like an hour ago, which is bad.
Because I drank, I didn't drink, sometimes I go through the day and I'll drink like my
diet Mountain Dew and then I'll have like a cup of water in the morning and then I'll
be like, I haven't had anything to drink.
I'm so thirsty.
I drink all day long and then I'll drink one bottle water bottle for another one.
Well, I'll just like I usually do and I usually have them filled up, but I didn't today.
So today's episode guys is going to be Sarah put out a poll and you guys spoke and we listened.
Yes, we did.
And I'm can't even remember what the heck was on it.
Okay, Miss mysteries and random thoughts.
Yes, that is our topic for today.
I hope you guys like it.
It should be very interesting.
So first we're going to kick it off with an FMK.
Okay, so FMK for today is like mythical creatures.
I guess they would be mythical creatures.
So number one, Bigfoot, number two, Godzilla and number three, Loch Ness Monster.
She almost whispered to me straight into her microphone.
I want you to answer first.
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna marry the Loch Ness Monster because I love the Loch Ness Monster.
And also I like I think it was Busch Gardens that had wait, was it Busch Gardens that has
the have you ever been to Busch Gardens?
Yeah, but that has a lot of this monster.
They have a ride called the Loch Ness Monster.
I think it's Busch Gardens and I really like that.
So and so Loch Ness Monster Mary fuck Bigfoot because he's not as big as Godzilla.
And he's a man.
I guess they all I don't know.
He could be it could be non-binary.
Don't they call the Loch Ness Monster Nessie?
Like what if it's a lady?
Well I'm not I'm marrying it then I don't care.
The Loch Ness Monster is that what it's called Nessie?
I have no idea.
And then kill Godzilla.
Okay, what about you?
Well I'm killing Godzilla also because like I feel like it's one of those things where
even if let's just say that Godzilla was like nice to me or whatever.
There is bound to be some sort of accident where he just stepped on me which is why I
don't have little dogs because I'm afraid I would do that.
And can you think about what you would have to do like to get to do that would never have
sexual relations with no.
He's got to die for that reason.
So I guess I'm gonna fuck the Loch Ness Monster because like I'm not marrying.
Is this like a slithery little snake?
I mean I don't mind a hairy man so bring it on Bigfoot.
I'll marry that fool.
Oh my god.
Lord have mercy.
So speaking of mythical creatures okay so we're gonna start let's kick let's start
off with the random what did you call it random thoughts.
My I found some like random stupid crazy facts.
Yeah so we're starting with facts instead of the myths and mysteries.
And also I didn't do a lot of fact checking research but I think that these came from
like legit like I didn't get them from like some like bus and they may have come from
but bus feet actually but no like I tried to make sure that they were websites with
mine so people can go look at them.
I did it so but I did check with Alexa on this one and I'm pretty sure she's usually
pretty right.
And the national animal of Scotland is the unicorn.
Really?
Yes I am moving to Scotland.
Well you can be friends with Nessie then because isn't that where she lives?
Is Nessie in Scotland or Ireland?
I'll google it.
Okay yeah so that and then while you're googling it so that's the coolest thing like I want
to live somewhere where the unicorn is the national thing because apparently back in
the day they thought that they were real.
I'm not really sure.
Okay so then the voice Scotland it was Scotland.
Oh yeah we're gonna go see Outlander too.
Yeah all right so the voices from Mickey and Minnie Mouse and I'm assuming like the original
voices got married in real life.
Really?
That is interesting.
I know isn't that cool they were married for like I think until I can't remember if I read
this right I think until the guy died.
Oh sad.
Yeah that's really cool though.
And they're like oh they kind of have the same voice and I'm like I guess they hung
out a lot.
And they were like you're pretty cute.
I mean how old were these people?
They were old like what when is the original Mickey and Minnie from?
From a long time I mean they're I don't think they're still alive.
Probably not.
I wouldn't imagine.
Yeah no.
Yeah.
I don't know.
And I'm assuming it was the original voices.
Yeah.
Okay so another one is that apparently okay so I found this one today.
When her face gets a certain way I get nervous.
Okay so apparently I don't know this is one of the ones I definitely did not fact check
but apparently nutmeg is a hallucinogen.
So like if you ingest it in large doses you can like have like mind-altering like situation
or whatever.
And I'm like oh my god.
So we only use that eggnog that's saucy less.
That's exactly what I was saying.
I was like no wonder we get freaky after a couple of uh yeah because my mom actually
has like nutmeg that she grinds into it.
And I'm always like give me more give me more.
I love it.
It's probably much more potent than like the spice version.
Oh it's so good.
That's in a container.
Well listen we're both on diets but I guess when we're not we'll have to go use that eggnog
stuff.
Oh no it's gone.
Oh okay that's a good call.
Oh yeah no I thought I was nervous about that.
Oh my god it's been like a year almost.
Not really but like seven months.
It was at like Thanksgiving or yeah that was really a long time ago but it was good no
I think that way.
All right well now we have like a um experiment to conduct during the holiday season.
Yeah we're gonna just like eat a bunch of nutmeg and see what happens.
It's legal right?
Are you kidding?
I mean it is legal obviously but like hey you guys this comes with a disclaimer don't
try this at home.
And if you do don't tell the police that we told you.
Well because we didn't tell you to do it.
Don't do it.
This is bad.
We might try it and let you know how it goes though.
Okay so then this one is kind of like fitting for our diet situation so and I don't know
how you say this and I hope I spelt type this in right in my phone because sometimes I get
like auto correct and then I'll be telling the wrong thing but the Japanese word or it's
two words but it said it said the Japanese word kuching zamishi.
Do you know what it means?
Can you guess?
I think that's how you say it.
Kuching zamishi is the act of eating when you're not hungry because your mouth is lonely.
My mouth is lonely a lot.
So is mine.
Like constantly.
Look it's really lonely right now even though it's talking to yours.
I definitely am more okay when I'm engaged in things and I'm not just like sitting there
like I feel like I do either emotional eating or bored eating and like the first like twinge
of my stomach I'm like oh I'm hungry time to eat something when that's not reality.
Yeah well and that's what like I the Amy Schumer thing the other day when she was like yeah
did you watch did you see when she was like yeah I'd rather like have a major surgery
than be hungry once.
Yes.
She's like I'm literally I think about that constantly I'm like oh my god.
That was a good stand up.
Thank you for the rec.
I really enjoyed it.
Her outfit was also killer.
Yeah.
Loved it.
Well so it's funny I thought that you would like it because I didn't like it as much.
It's very interesting but yeah no I liked it.
It was good and I.
I think we enjoy some of the same sense of humors but I think that you might like some
more like dry dark things than maybe I do.
Yeah probably.
Yeah.
Like the Howard Stern type stuff.
Oh by the way Sarah Jessica Parker was on Howard Stern this morning.
It was so good.
Y'all there was almost a full blown World War 3 in my car on the way home from the Savannah
Bananas on Saturday.
Wait what was the World War.
I was in there.
What happened.
Why because I like Howard Stern and Melanie doesn't.
Was she mad or something.
No.
I was like you need to listen.
No but y'all were just fussing and it was hysterical because I was like I'm not getting
involved in this shit.
Oh I don't I don't remember fussing.
I just remember being like no you should listen to it.
I think you sometimes think that I'm fussing or we're fussy when we're not.
Who's we.
Me and anyone.
Maybe just me.
Like a lot of times I think so.
I don't know.
No you don't.
I mean it felt to me it felt like an intense conversation.
Oh she was just like I can't believe you like him.
Oh my god.
He's like so terrible.
He's a terrible person.
And I was like no he's not.
Have you listened to any of this.
Do you know there are people just I feel like a lot of times people judge and they don't
even know what the deal is.
Well I think that stems from a long period of time where he was a shit human especially
to women.
So it's hard to turn the corner on that one.
What did he do.
Oh yeah he embarrassed the shit out of Anna Nicole Smith when she was on there.
Like he was horrible.
He does that.
It's entertainment though.
When Jenny McCarthy was on there she was tired of being sexualized you know after being on
that show where she was the host and it was all dudes I forgot what it was called.
But I mean he was just shit.
The show.
Oh Jenny McCarthy that was the single doubt.
Yes.
Oh my god I loved that show.
I did too.
Yeah and I mean he's admitted like he's been he's done some things but like you know whatever.
But I think for.
People know that they you know how it is but you should listen to it now.
It's like so much different and it's it's really great.
I mean I don't know.
I'm not necessarily a proponent for it.
I probably am not going to listen to him but I get what you're saying.
You were able to you know turn some kind of corner or maybe there wasn't a corner to turn
for you but I think there are for other people.
I just feel like sometimes like people judge and they when they don't even know or they
haven't even listened to it themselves and I did when before I listened to it.
One of my ex-boyfriends kind of got me on it and I was like oh my god like why are we
listening to this and then you start listening and you're like oh my gosh it's actually like
really good.
Like all the stuff's really good.
Yeah.
So anyways.
Okay so tell me about your myths.
Oh okay.
All right so the first handful that I found were from historyhit.com and they were kind
of funny.
Okay.
All right so the first one is that Emperor Napoleon was short and it said the idea that
Napoleon was a small man intent on conquering Europe to make up for his insecurities with
British propaganda he was 1.7 meters or 5'7 and which was not not tall but average for
the time and I feel like that's average for like now also.
So when I pictured.
5'7?
Yeah.
It's taller than you.
Tall as me.
For a man though?
Yeah but I mean I'm tall for a girl.
Like he's only.
I feel like you're like average for a girl.
I don't know though.
But I mean 5'7 is not like severely short for a man.
It's not really short but.
But hear me out.
Without knowing what that height was what did you picture Napoleon in your head his
height being?
I have no idea.
I really didn't care.
I was going with like a hot five one.
Oh really?
Yeah.
No.
I was thinking like 5'5.
Well because people will be like you know they've got Napoleon syndrome or whatever
and which just alludes to short man syndrome and 5'7 is not necessarily short.
Would I date 5'7?
No I wouldn't.
I thought Napoleon syndrome was like you think that you are.
It's kind of like a dude with a like a sports car.
Like trying to make out for something else.
No I mean I think what they were saying was that he was trying to conquer all of Europe
due to his him being short.
And so this conqueror you know facade that he was putting up there whatever I guess it's
not really a facade because he did kind of conquer some things but was to make up for
the lack of height.
Well it was because he was good.
He'd come around and he could like slice your ankles you know.
Because he's so little.
Like he's going to crawl into little places and like come get you.
He's not a freaking leprechaun you weirdo.
Well it's what they made it sound like.
They made it sound like that.
The other one I had no idea about this and I wish that a medical professional could tell
us where this came from and maybe you can.
I don't know.
But this one said Julius Caesar was the first person to be born via caesarean section.
And it said the Romans were not capable of performing surgery of that complexity and
ambition.
Any recipient of a caesarean would have died and we think Caesar's mom lived beyond his
childhood.
The name almost certainly comes from the Roman cadere.
I don't know meaning to cut.
But apparently the caesarean section was not named after Caesar.
Okay so from the nlm.nih.gov it says Roman law under Caesar decreed that all women who
were so fated by childbirth must be cut open.
Hence caesarean.
Other possible Latin origins include verb I don't know something meaning to cut and
other things like that.
So basically the meaning to cut is probably where it came from.
But like I don't know who decided that it probably wasn't named after him.
It was just under Roman law.
While he was.
So essentially I think that they don't really know exactly where the name came from.
But they're saying that the early history of it is you know kind of dates back to like
Roman law and that stuff that I read a minute ago and that it is commonly believed to be
derived from the surgical birth of Julius Caesar.
However this seems unlikely since his mother is reputed to have lived to or hear of her
son's invasion of Britain.
So basically they were basically saying that if you were going to die they had to cut you
open.
So at that time the procedure was performed only when the mother was dead or dying as
an attempt to save a child for a state wishing to increase its population.
That tracks with the latest you know House of Dragons season.
What the hell does that mean?
The prelude to Game of Thrones.
Wait is there a new thing?
Yeah girl.
What?
What's it called?
The House of the Dragon I think?
Yeah.
No.
Watch it.
When is it on HBO?
Yeah girl.
I don't have HBO anymore.
Boo.
Why'd they change it to Max?
I had a login.
And I have like too many streaming things.
I'll have to cancel one to get the HBO Max to watch that or something.
But anyway.
Okay.
Sorry.
Next.
You're fine.
All right.
These are American myths that people still believe for whatever reason.
Okay.
Seattle is one of the rainiest cities in America.
Well which one is?
I don't know exactly which one is but I do know that there are often times where Alabama
and Mississippi grows more rainfall than what Seattle does.
Because they have that like misty yucky rain.
When it's like always.
Yeah.
Are you making fun of me?
Yes.
I was going to tell you to drink.
Well honey I've been drinking this whole time because you've been like.
But no sometimes we can grow some more rainfall than they do.
Yeah I mean I can understand that.
Yeah.
Especially when we get like hurricanes.
Oh shoot.
This is really hurting my heart right now.
What?
The fourth of July is Independence Day.
Did you not know that?
The fourth of July clearly is.
No this is a myth.
This is a myth.
Okay but July 2nd is actually the day that.
Yeah.
Is that what it's saying?
July 2nd.
Yeah but technically it didn't go into effect until July 4th.
Okay well I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Read up on that.
Yeah everybody should read up on that because July 4th is yesterday.
Let's see.
George Washington had wooden teeth.
Gross.
Yeah.
Is that like dentures?
That's it's a myth.
It was untrue.
Oh it was untrue.
I didn't never heard that before.
These are not facts.
These are myths.
Oh okay so you said you just said George Washington had wooden teeth and I'm like okay shoot.
I didn't know that.
No another myth is Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird of the
United States.
Can you imagine?
Wait so did Benjamin Franklin come out and say no I never said that?
I don't know.
So this last one is the one I didn't necessarily want to read but I will.
Oh you don't have to.
No it's it I don't know I just was trying to pull things that I thought people might
think are cool or whatever but Captain Cook discovered Australia.
It said James Cook is one of the most famed explorers in British history but he was not
the first European to explore Australia.
The Dutch explorer William Jan Zoon landed in northern Australia in 1606 164 years before
Cook was the first European to arrive in eastern Australia landing in what he named Botany
Bay in April of 1770.
So when you sent me that I was like what the hell I don't even know who whoever Captain
Cook is.
I was like Captain Hook.
I honestly I didn't.
Well Captain Hook is a myth but I mean.
Well and I was like and they don't teach you who maybe they did I don't know I don't remember.
It's one of the greatest movies of all time.
That is the truth.
That's the truth.
The greatest.
I agree.
Yeah.
I like.
I'll take the Captain Hook myth all day.
What do they do is like is it Rufio is that what they say?
Yeah.
Rufio Rufio.
Oh my god I love that movie and they have like a paint and it goes everywhere it's like
it's so fun and I'll you know Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell so good.
Yeah but she still looked awesome.
So she that was the style and it's like still my mom still has that haircut.
No she does not.
Well she yeah so essentially it's she's grown it out because I like it longer it looks better
anyways but yeah no I'd like they don't I guess they don't teach us like Australian
history and.
No they don't.
So okay let's get some some interesting myths.
My first myth.
I thought these were not myths.
What are they?
No the ones I'm about to tell you are not myths are they are myths.
Oh okay.
Okay so have you ever been swimming in the pool when you were a child and someone said
if you pee in the pool it'll turn or green or red or yellow if you pee and it'll follow
you around everybody you'll know that is such a myth and you know what I really wish they
did that because Sarah pees in the pool.
She laughs like it's funny and it's disgusting.
I've seen her go to the bathroom though some like you went to the bathroom last time we
were at the pool but I think you were out of the bathroom in the pool too.
Sometimes she pees in the pool a lot of times.
Okay so another myth.
Do you do you know the number of times that I've peed in the pool?
No do you?
Yes.
You've counted how many times how many times have you peed in the pool?
Twice.
Ever in your entire life?
Yes.
Even when you were a baby.
Oh I don't know about that.
Which pool did you pee in my pool?
No.
Did you pee in your pool?
Yes.
So gross I hope they drained it.
Oh that's disgusting.
I hate swimming in pools with other people because they pee in it.
Okay shaving will make your this is a myth obviously shaving will make your hair grow
back thicker and darker.
Yeah no.
That's baloney.
It is baloney.
And do you know what my mom has told me and my mom still believes it.
My mom has told me this my entire life and they.
What if she does not want you to shave?
Like my face she'd be like don't shave your face like not you know how like people do
like microblading or whatever.
Derma planing.
Derma planing yeah.
Well so when they when I had to have a jaw surgery they had to shave like the side of
my face and like up my hair like way up like basically sideburns into my hair and I was
like devastated.
I was like oh my god.
And then I was like my face is gonna have like man hair which it already does.
I have like man I'm like a hairy person.
No you're not.
I'm pretty hairy.
I have to like keep it up going keep going.
And so but it grew back and it grew back regular.
Like it's not it doesn't come back.
That's it's actually better.
The first time you ever shave your legs they don't grow back like a damn werewolf.
Well the reason well the reason that I think people think that they grow back thicker is
because when you slice off the top of it you're slicing down to the thick part of the hair.
And so it's gonna continue growing and that thick part's gonna be at the top instead of
plucking it and then a new hair grows out and it's got like the pointy thing.
But like plucking is not as good as shaving.
What are you gonna do about your legs?
Nothing but shave or get them lasered.
Or wax or you can use one of those little my friend in high school used to use this
thing called a silky mitt and she would do it on her arms and like so she's Indian and
I guess she like didn't like the hair on her arms and stuff and her hands and she would
like rub it just like rubs and I think they have seen them on like Instagram or something
like that where people are selling them and I'm like oh my gosh.
I can't figure out how it gets it off though.
I don't know I don't understand the science behind it.
It looks like I don't know I think it's like a basically like sandpaper and it just like
rubs it off kind of.
That sounds terrible.
I know it sounds gross but you can okay so another myth that vaginas get looser the more
partners that you have had.
Not if you do kegels.
Not if you do kegels that's correct.
But also not like no they're meant to bounce back.
We don't and like also you can have a baby and it can bounce back but still I mean I
think that it still doesn't really necessarily always bounce back all the way.
That's a big stretch.
I mean I would say that's probably fair but also I am curious to know the science behind
like is there like collagen in your vagina that like you know when you're we get older
and your like skin on your face and hands and your neck like loses elasticity.
Is that also in your vagina?
Well yeah of course there's collagen all over your face all over your body.
Well that's probably why then.
Well that and you know some people will be like I bet people are gonna be like well well
you know I had a baby and now I pee when I sneeze and I'm gonna be like okay well your
vagina and your urethra are different.
That's like you pelvic floor type of stuff.
It's the muscles in there not like your vagina.
Pelvic floor specialist.
Exactly.
And have that worked on for sure.
Right and we're not talking about your that.
You're not talking about you losing like your ability to like hold your pee in.
Just talking about like your vagina getting looser.
It is a myth.
The more sexual part.
But also any dude who would be like you've had sex with X number of people you must have
you know a loose vagina.
They're not worth your fucking time.
Remember when people used to like people used to say oh she's loose.
Yeah like hot dog down a hallway.
Oh my god.
You've never heard that?
Yes I've heard that.
Oh my god I really wish that we can find like a meme of like somebody throwing hot dog down
a hallway.
Instead that we can put that up.
Oh my god.
This is what the episode is going to be called hot dog down a hallway.
Oh shit.
Oh god.
Okay yeah.
Alright so another myth.
If you go outside in the cold you will get sick.
That is baloney.
Are you sure?
Oh my god are you serious?
Yes I'm sure.
You get you get an illness from viruses and from germs.
You do not get sick because it's cold.
You don't get sick because it's cold outside.
I should probably know that my mom's a nurse.
You should know that because you are a smart person.
And now I'm starting to think otherwise.
But it's okay.
I do these things all the time too.
So no big deal.
But no that is definitely a myth guys.
And I know that you guys please don't try to argue with that because that is you do
not get sick from getting being cold outside.
Oh don't go outside you gonna get pneumonia.
You gonna catch a cold.
Yeah you're gonna catch a cold on your body and you're gonna get the chills because you
are physically cold but you are not going to get germs and like have a virus.
Lord have mercy people.
Okay.
Oh my god.
That just makes me crazy.
I'm like how?
You're gonna get...
No you're not.
Like no.
Chocolate milk.
Okay.
Oh my gosh.
So when I was younger do you know about this?
No.
My brother Eric.
Thanks Eric for ruining my life.
And I will never I did some research on this last night because I was like I remember this
whole thing and I was like I'm gonna look it up and I've looked it up before and I'm
gonna read about it because I want to make sure.
But he told me that chocolate milk is like the bloody nasty milk that comes out of like
cows and they just take it and they add chocolate or like strawberry syrup or whatever to do
to strawberry milk so that they don't waste the milk or whatever.
And you believed that?
And I was like it was like pussy bloody.
Yes I believed it for like the longest time.
I still believe it kind of.
And I googled it and it's a very big myth.
It's apparently.
You just said I still kind of believe it.
I do.
I said that's why I said it's a very big myth apparently.
So you want to make fun of me for being like oh yeah you can catch cold from going out
in the cold or whatever but you still think that there is nasty bloody milk.
Okay there's literally science.
There's literally science to the cold thing.
And there is not science to them putting like if they like I don't know what they're doing
with the milk.
I don't know what's coming out what the milk looks like.
I'd have to see it.
You need to go on the Googles.
I grew up next like close to a dairy farm.
I've seen cows be milked.
It is not exactly white white but they also like pasteurize it and all of that stuff.
So right exactly.
It is comes out a clean product just like the cheese.
Right but did you see the chocolate milk come out.
No because they put fucking syrup in it after they've done all the other things you crazy
person.
See that's why.
But you never know.
Have you ever been to a chocolate milk factory.
There aren't chocolate milk factories.
Yes there are.
No there are not.
Okay when they put the chocolate syrup in the chocolate milk in the milk there is a
factory that does that.
Sure.
After the milk is already made.
Right exactly.
But did they okay so there there is a such thing of a cow getting like injured or something
and the milk comes out like all funky.
I looked at that yesterday and it was like a dairy farm that said that.
Well that's what they said but you never know.
The FDA is not going to allow that.
I know that and that's exactly why I'm saying that this is a myth but I still in my head
am like what the hell.
Why did people tell why did my brother tell me that.
And I even like literally on the thing that I read the girl was talking about how she
was on an airplane and was saying that I guess I think she works on a dairy farm or something
and the girl next door was like let me ask you a question.
Somebody told me that they you know the bloody milk or whatever and she was like absolutely
not.
We could you know get have bloody milk but we have to throw that away.
Like you have to go they watch it like somebody comes in and expect inspects it and all that
stuff.
Yeah.
Yes.
I mean I've seen that happen but you just never know.
Honestly you never know.
That myth is right up there with Saucy telling you you better eat your broccoli so you don't
get an STD.
Well I didn't believe that because I know that that doesn't work.
Okay so next.
My mom used to tell Daniel and Eric this too.
Eating crust on the crust on your bread makes you grow chest hair or it makes your hair
curly.
Those are the myths.
Stop.
Yeah.
I think that's why I have chest hair.
You don't have chest hair.
Sometimes I get like a random hair like right here.
Maybe in a mole.
And right here.
No no moles.
And then one like right here.
And I have to pluck them out and I'll be like oh my like I because you can't see it until
like it's like like real big and long and I'll be like.
Oh snap.
And it's like in a weird spot like on the side there's one right here and it's always
in the same spot.
And I'm like I need to go just get that one little spot like lasered so that no hair comes
out.
That's hilarious.
It's weird though because it's like one here there's one spot over here and there's one
right in the middle.
I'm like why does do I need it's like whiskers.
Yeah but I mean it just happens like I have a mole on my face and I picked my sister up
from the airport one time and it was like sunny outside or whatever and she was like
what's on your face?
And I was like what are you talking about?
And she rips out like an inch and a half blonde hair from my face.
I was like girl I put on foundation.
I rub it in with a brush.
How in the world did I miss this?
And I had to have been there for weeks.
I have those all over my face and you know what?
This is what I look like.
But you know what I got these chest hairs.
This is no wonder I'm single.
You don't have for real chest hairs.
Sometimes I wonder.
You're crazy.
Okay.
Let me do my last two that are like historically related or whatever.
No I have a couple more.
These are from GreekA.com.
So these are dot coms.
You know we can't take them that seriously but I thought they were interesting.
So Persephone the queen of the underworld, the myth of Persephone the sweet daughter
of Greek goddess Demeter who was kidnapped by Hades and later became the queen of the
underworld is known all over the world.
This is actually the myth of the ancient Greeks to explain the change of the seasons, the
eternal cycle of nature's death and rebirth.
Persephone is understood as a naive little girl who flows between the protection of the
mother and the love of her husband.
The myth of Persephone was very popular in the ancient times and it is said that her
story was represented in the, I don't know this word.
I'm not even going to try.
Spell it.
It's E-L-E-U-S-I-N-I-A-N.
Ellucian.
I can't spell it again?
Yeah.
I think you got it.
The Ellucian mysteries, the most secret celebrations of ancient Greece.
Interesting.
Yeah.
All right.
One more.
Pandora, the first woman on earth.
The story of Pandora.
I thought Eve was the first woman on earth, Mandy.
Oh my God.
Look.
Holy shit.
We have to talk about this.
Okay.
But hang on.
The story of Pandora came into prominence in, in theogony, the epic poem of, I don't
know this.
Poem?
Yeah.
Did you call it poem?
I like that.
I like when people say, see, I've always said poem.
Poem?
What'd I say?
You said poem.
Poem.
Yeah.
Poem.
I like when people say that, but I always say poem.
I don't know how to say this one either.
Hesiod?
How do you spell it?
H-E-S-I-O-D.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Yeah.
Written circa 1800 BC.
The myth dates back to the first centuries of humanity just after Titan, Titanomachy.
I don't know what this one is.
The great war between the Titans and the Olympians.
It is the story of a woman who opened the box where all the evils of the world were
kept inside and thus she released every mischief for humans.
So that's what they mean when they say don't open Pandora's box.
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
But I didn't ever know that.
But I don't believe that she was the first woman on earth.
That's the myth.
The man, the myth, the legend, or the woman, the myth, the legend.
Is that your last one?
Yes.
So I did want to-
She's waiting for me to be done.
She does not like mine.
No, they're boring.
I like the pee in the pool ones better.
Those are very interesting, but I'm like, okay, cool.
So we got an Instagram message from our buddy Chase and who is the cousin of the girl that
made or the woman.
When I say girl, I mean, my friend that made or our friend that made our logos, logo slash
logos.
And he sent us a message and it was talking about how we should watch, oh my God, what
was called ancient aliens.
Yes.
So today I was like, while I'm working, I'm going to turn on the TV and see if I can watch
ancient aliens to see if there's any like weird things that we can talk about.
Well, I don't have, you have to have a subscription to History Channel or like pay for it.
And so I was like, dang it.
So I looked on YouTube, I looked everywhere.
I couldn't find anything that I couldn't watch for free.
So I didn't get to watch anything, but thanks for the suggestion.
And hopefully I will try to look at some of those and maybe Sarah can look at some.
What did he suggest?
Ancient aliens, Bama edition.
Oh yeah.
He was like ancient Alabama aliens.
And I was like, oh my God.
Okay.
So I don't know if this is real or not, but like if you stand in front, did anybody tell
you that you're not supposed to stand in front of the microwave?
And I didn't Google any of this.
I just like thought of it.
I was like standing in front of the microwave.
People were always like, don't stand in front of the microwave because you're going to get
radiation or whatever.
I stand in front of the microwave every time I use the microwave.
Like unless it's a long time, don't you?
I mean, yeah, but I don't really like look in there.
I'm not looking, but I'm like standing there.
I mean, isn't it supposed to be bad for you or is it a myth?
Are x-rays bad for you?
Well, yeah, but they had like on the microwave, microwave is not that much radiation.
Okay.
And I don't think, and it has like, you know, like the door with the window has like the
little screeny thing on here.
Doesn't that like block everything?
I mean, and it's like insulated and stuff.
I would assume because they didn't used to have those.
Oh, they didn't?
No.
Girl, one time I almost set our house on fire because somebody let me in the kitchen alone
when I was like before third grade and I put a whole ass two pop tarts in the foil in the
microwave.
Two pop?
Two pop tarts.
Oh, two pop tarts.
In their foil in the microwave and I can't.
And I was like, I two pop what?
No, and I hit go and that bitch brought light on fire.
Why did you put them in there?
How old were you?
I was younger than eight years old.
I did not know that you couldn't put the foil in there.
I was trying to kill two birds with one stone instead of putting them in one at a time.
Why didn't you just put them on a plate?
Girl, I don't know.
Why would you have to put them in one at a time?
We could still put them in there twice without the foil.
Oh my God.
I don't know.
Poor Sarah's mom or whoever had to clean that mess up.
Oh God.
Listen, at least I knew what fire was and so I quit.
I pressed stop immediately when it happened, but it was like, oh shit.
Did you like, oh my gosh, that's scary.
I didn't blow up the microwave.
The aluminum foil did kind of catch on fire for a minute, but that was it.
Well, good thing you were standing in front of it.
Exactly.
Yeah.
The other myth is the five second rule.
If you drop your food on the ground, you can pick it up after five seconds or before five
seconds and it won't be gross or it won't have like germs.
That is such a myth.
I'm not a real proponent of that.
If I'm like drunk or something.
You'd be like five second rule.
No, when somebody else says it, I'd be like five second rule.
In a restaurant, absolutely fucking not.
No.
All right.
I pulled up some fun ones.
Can I read a fun one now?
Yes.
Bulls get angry when they see the color red.
Okay.
Yeah.
I saw that too.
Untrue.
I skipped over that one.
It says bulls like other cattle are red, green colorblind.
The movement of the cape is what bothers them.
Interesting.
Okay.
So Chloe Kardashian is OJ Simpson's daughter.
No.
That's I know a myth, obviously, but like, oh, Chase told me that one.
First of all, she looks less Armenian than the rest of them and does not look black at
all.
Yeah, but he's like super light skinned.
Not, no.
She has kind of some big lips, but I don't know if that's because she had big lips or
she like before she got them plumped up.
You didn't notice it when you were watching that show?
No, she looked like a completely different person.
She looked super white.
Okay, keep going.
Well, we'll go back to your swimming pool situation.
You get cramps if you go swimming right after you eat.
Untrue.
What?
I don't think that that I think that I don't know the, the, I think that the, the thing
that people tell you, I don't, I didn't understand.
I saw that website that you're looking at.
I think that what they're trying to say is that people are like, oh, you're not supposed
to go swimming for 20 minutes or whatever after you eat.
But that's so that you're a child and you just ate a bunch of food and you don't go
in there and get all jumbled up and throw it up everywhere.
Oh my God.
Inside the pool.
Not because they want you to like not get stomach cramps.
So what the hell?
No.
Okay.
Keep going.
No.
Are you done?
Yeah.
You don't like that website and finding another one.
Okay.
Well, pause.
Popping your knuckles is actually harmless in the study that claimed it caused arthritis
was heavily flawed.
Studies now show that it has nothing to do with causing arthritis, which is great for
me because my mom gets so mad at me all the time.
So my mom does too, but I think that she, they get mad and they do that and they tell
us that because they just don't want to hear it.
Oh, sure.
Either that or they also still believe that because I feel like, yeah.
Swallowed gum does not remain in your stomach for seven years.
I don't know if I believe that because have you ever pooped out the gum that you swallowed?
No.
Yeah.
Ew.
This one, I can't believe you didn't write this down.
It's a myth that you swallow spiders.
Oh no.
I was, no, I didn't.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I can't.
No.
So I.
This is an important one.
No, I didn't talk.
Okay.
Hold on for that.
This is the spider one.
I didn't put that on there because I swear every time I'm on Snapchat and I click on the
stuff, there's the same one that keeps coming out where they pour like a hydrogen peroxide
in a dude's ear and a huge spider crawls out and it freaks me out and they're like, ah,
and the spider's right in your face.
And so the spider thing freaks me out.
My ears are itchy, really itchy right now.
I don't want to.
My ear.
I can't.
Oh my God.
If there was something in there, it'd give you major dizziness.
Did I not tell you about the time that I thought I had a cockroach in my ear because my sister
in law, who was a medical provider told me that you probably got you a cockroach down
in your ear.
She didn't talk it like that.
She might've talked a little bit like that, but I think I went a little overboard.
She's got a Southern accent.
So I had fluttering in my ear like really bad.
It was like, and it was constant.
And I was like, oh my gosh, something's in my ear.
It sounded like I had a butterfly in there or like a bumblebee.
And it was like, she's like, well, I mean, and she works, she lives in a small town and
worked at that point, worked at like an urgent care clinic in this small town where something
like that would probably happen and that she probably has seen a lot of that.
And she's like, well, you probably got a cockroach down in there.
And I freaked the F out and I went to the doctor and I was like, oh, I was like, don't
say to somebody if you cannot immediately resolve it for them.
Oh, she thinks it's hilarious now.
And I'm like, oh my God, I went to the doctor and I was like, oh my God, my sister in law
told me I had a cockroach in my ear.
And she was like, honey, she was like, you don't have a cockroach.
It's just fluid.
It's like water.
Like basically.
Yeah.
And I was like, oh my gosh, I would have cussed her out.
I did.
I was like Robin.
She laughed, but it does happen.
I mean, it happens a lot.
Like if you have you seen, I mean, it's very possible for that to happen.
But I, when she told me that I didn't know that that could happen.
Yeah.
And I freaked out and I think I may have lived in that apartment.
I don't know, I think I did live in this apartment where when I first moved in, there were like
cock, there was like a big cockroach all over the place.
Gross.
Yeah.
Gross.
It wasn't cockroach.
It was like those water bugs or whatever they're called that everybody calls brooches.
Yeah.
You don't actually need to wait 24 hours before reporting someone missing.
Okay.
So that's not, who tells people that?
I didn't know that.
Duh, if somebody goes missing, you should call the police.
Why would anybody tell somebody, oh, you have to wait 24 hours?
Like who tells people that?
I don't know.
Did you believe that though?
Did you think that before?
I don't, if I were in that situation, I don't think that I would wait.
Yeah, for sure.
Are you the one who told me that you used to put coffee on your ice cream when you were
a kid?
No, but that sounds good.
But not hot coffee cause it would melt the ice cream.
No, no, no.
Like, yeah.
Like coffee grounds.
Oh, coffee grounds.
What did you tell me?
You told me something and that's why you said you thought that your growth was stunted.
Oh, I said that my parents usually give me like frappuccinos.
They used to take me and like, I would be like cleaning the house.
Well, guess what?
Coffee does not stunt your growth.
You sure?
So you're just short.
Is this on Buzzfeed?
Yes.
I knew it.
Oh my God.
I am just short, but no, they, I'm pretty sure that coffee stunts your, it's caffeine.
It's not the coffee.
It's caffeine.
Why is everybody else in my family taller than me?
That's not fair.
It happens.
I mean, my mom's like only an inch shorter than me and Jerry and I are both about five,
six, five, seven and my dad's six, three.
So why are my feet a size nine and a half when my body does not and my hands are, I
can palm a basketball.
You can, I can't.
You can't?
No.
Really?
You have, I have short fingers.
I have really long fingers.
Well, not really, but like I have fat hands now, but they used to look longer when they
were skinnier.
Anyways, I have big hands and I can palm a basketball.
I told somebody that the other day and they were like, whoo.
It was Christina.
I think we were talking about big hands anyways.
Oh no.
I was holding Mason held my hand the other night.
He has big hands and he was holding my hand and I know he has really big hands and he
was holding my hand while we were watching a movie.
Drunk and loves to hold hands.
Yeah.
And he loves to touch my boobs when he's drunk too.
He does not do that.
Well, he, he has only done it one time in the car on the way back after he fell off
the boat.
He was, he was just kept like, he was like passed out on me and his hands kept going
up to my boobs and I was like, why is he?
And I was kept pushing him down.
I was like, whatever dude, like why are you touching my boobs?
So but no, he was holding my hand and then I was like, oh my gosh, you have good hand
because a lot of, I've dated guys where their hands are like smaller than mine or like the
same size and trying to hold hands with somebody with the same size hand as you or smaller.
Well, smaller, like it has to be a significant amount size, size smaller so that it's not
like you're like squishing to get, you know what I mean?
Like there's gotta be that right fit.
Brandon and I wear the same size ring finger ring.
So so do we, me and you.
We don't.
Oh, is yours too big for me?
Let me see that ring.
I thought we had the same one.
No, he's got long skinny fingers.
I thought we, yes.
Well, this is a little bit big.
Okay, exactly.
Only a little bit big though.
It's because I'm on a diet.
I hope our fingers get skinnier.
I like this ring.
It was my grandmother's.
I would rather my fingers stay fat and like the rest of my body gets skinny.
Skinnier not like skinny.
Okay, so yeah, what was I saying?
Oh, we were holding hands and that's, I guess that's how I told them.
I can't remember.
I had been drinking.
That was the day of the Savannah bananas and I've been on this diet and I had like one
beer and I was like, you got drunk after a beer.
Let's just leave it at that.
I got one beer drunk and it was bad.
It was comical at one point.
You were going 90 to nothing and I was like, Oh my God, when we were at Caitlin's house
after pies and pints, you would not shut the fuck up.
I was ready to go.
Hang out.
I was like, what?
I told everybody.
I was looking at Melanie and I was like, what is she doing?
I haven't seen anybody all day.
I haven't seen anybody all day and I had one sip of a beer and now I'm ready to go.
Then it made me laugh really hard.
Did you just walk up to the woman that we saw in the parking lot before the game?
No, I walked up to the dude that worked in the parking lot and she was standing next
to them and then she spoke to me because I asked him the guy question and she spoke to
me and was like something, something like commented on what I said and like trying to
be nice and helpful.
I didn't happen to be my friend Carly.
I know I'm excited that you talked to her.
So by the way, Rickwood field is crazy.
I mean it's cool that it's historic, but like it's more than historic.
What is it haunted?
No, it's the oldest baseball field in the world.
Okay.
We talked about it last time.
We already said all that stuff.
It's cool that it's historic, which is means it's the oldest baseball field.
That's what I'm getting at, but it was not clean.
It was really gross, like it freaked me out a little bit.
I put my drink down on the ground and like it came up.
It was like not even just like a little baby dust bunny.
It was like, it was like they never cleaned the place before and it was from, it was like
finger nail clippings from like 1910.
And the bathroom was so gross.
Oh my God.
It was so bad.
It just wasn't very well organized.
It was kind of too many people and that place was meant for back in the day when people
got dressed up to go to events, like dressed up, get on the airplane and walked in and
what weren't coming in trying to like, I don't know, that's just how I feel.
I feel like when I, it was, it looks like very small.
It was built in 1910.
So the walkways were small.
They were like whole, you had to like go around stuff.
The steps were far apart, felt like I was climbing a damn mountain getting in and out
of there.
But it was a fun experience though.
In my opinion, and I don't know if this is what they're trying to do.
I haven't looked up this stuff or anything, but like I have never, I didn't even know
they were doing events there.
I didn't even know it was here in Birmingham.
Had no idea until we went to this thing and I saw it on the news the other day.
I think that they should raise funds if they're not trying to do that already to fix it up
and make it a little bit better because there are things in there that are really cool.
Like when you first come in, like the gates to come through, like the old ones, like they
could paint those and like make them look good.
And I don't know, just like, we'll see.
I mean, I would assume if they're expected to have a crowd for, you know, an Epic major
league baseball game, they're going to have to do some upgrades.
Yeah.
I don't know how they're going to do that.
I'm not going to it.
No, I'm not either.
I'm not going back there.
It's the same date.
It's in the middle of the summer.
There's no breeze up in there, even though you're not, you know, sitting in the blasting
sun for the most part.
But it's just, I mean, it was a good experience.
I'm glad that we went.
It wasn't that expensive to go.
And I mean, I had fun, but it was just hot as fire.
It's too hot.
Do that shit in April.
Yeah.
I'd rather be out in the rain than I would be hot.
No, it was very hot.
Very, very hot.
And the water, but waters were like very expensive and they ran out.
Oh, yeah, they ran out of waters.
They ran out of a lot of stuff.
I finished a whole water bottle and ended up having to go have a diet Coke after that
because that was all that they had.
Yikes.
Yeah.
I forgot about that.
Yeah.
Wild.
