[Opening music] And I'm not gonna drive south just for a donut. We're South Hoggers. South Hoggers? Nope. I don't know what that means… South is…we're all…never mind…It was so good for a minute in my head. Anyway. [laughing] Wish I could be there and understand what's going on. It's a great place sometimes. Sometimes not though. [theme music] Welcome to episode number seven of “Delete This History”, a podcast by two besties of a certain age searching for answers. We're your hosts, Brea Brown… …and I'm Cara Burch. Yes, you are. You're so far away today. I know. Hellooo... Hellooo… We're like rich people eating dinner. Yes, will you please pass the salt? I would rather pass you the Grey Poupon. [laughing] I'll take it. Alright, how was your week? Um, it was a busy week. Yeah. It was so busy but a good week! Choir started back up again. Yep, back in choir. But they've canceled choir for this coming Thursday. Oh. Which I was really excited about because that's the Chief's first game of the season! Yes. I even took Friday off work. Sean did too. So we could have a little personal house party. Uh, I will have to work Friday. Boo. Lame. And it'll be kind of a busy day. But that's not gonna stop me. Hell no. I'm just gonna be really miserable to be around. So, they're just gonna have to deal with it. Yes. So that's next week. What, what about this past week? I got no complaints. What about you? I did social media this week. I go on there and I can't help but then I start scrolling. Yeah. I will say though, I have really enjoyed the uptick in our responses for the podcast. Yes. Because that's been super fun. It's been so fun to reconnect with people I haven't seen in YEARS. Yeah. So that has been really fun. If I would just leave it at that. Yes, exactly. It would be great. Anyway. So I'm a little bit like kinda tired. You're worn out. Yeah. Well, you're in luck. I'm doing social media this week. I know. I'm so excited. You are editing. Okay. So speaking of technology. Yes. You have promised me a new app. New app to me. Yeah. Guess who downloaded Logic Puzzle and is addicted to it. Uh huh. They're addictive. They're so addictive. And poorly written. I was gonna tell you this. They were talking about like four different people who were suspected of a murder. Yes. And instead of spelling it Brian… Yeah…. …it was Brain. Yes. It's stuff like that. It's cracking me up. I probably shouldn't tell you this, but on the weekends there's a competition to see who can finish the most puzzles. On that app? Uh huh. And you get a butt ton of gold coins if you win. And last weekend I didn't start until Sunday ‘cause Saturdays are busy, you know. And Sunday I logged in and I was such a dick. There was this guy who already had 65 done. Oh my gosh! And I was like, well…that's nothing. What?! I started at like 5 ‘clock in the morning on Sunday when I got up and by the end of the day on Sunday when the competition ended, I had 100. My goal was just to beat him. But then he kept adding to his total. So, then I was like, I’ll just get ten above him Yes. But then once I gotten above him, I was like, well, I might as well get 100. Now, a lot of them take like two minutes. Yes. Some of them are so fast. Some of them are super-duper-duper simple. Yes, they make you feel very smart. Yeah. Dude, I got it. Yeah. So, tell me you won all of the coins. I did. Oh my gosh…that's hilarious. That guy probably thought he had it sewn up when he was going into Sunday. I would have felt bad but I'm so competitive! Oh my gosh. I couldn't help myself. Speaking of apps. Yes. Conqueror challenge. Yes. I continued this week. Did not ride my bike very much this week because I had a squeaky pedal. It was a little bit loose and squeaky which, ugh. I can't even. I fixed that this morning though. Good job. And I rode eight miles this morning on my bike… Eight miles! …on my stationary bike, yeah it's not a lot. It goes by fast. That's good! But anyway, I got past 20% of the journey. Oooh! And when you get past 20%, I forgot to say this when I was talking about this app originally, when you hit 20% you have the choice of planting a tree or they put money to cleaning up the oceans of plastic bottles. You can plant a real tree. Yeah, one tree. I thought you meant you could plant a tree in the Shire. No, no. Okay. The people who developed this app. Okay… They plant a tree… That's awesome! …once you get past a certain point. I like oxygen. I like trees. I also like oxygen… Now, maybe the next one I do, if I do another one, I'll do the plastic bottles clean up thing. It is a problem. It's a big problem. And just because I don't live in the ocean doesn't mean it shouldn't be dealt with. Agreed. Plus, I was in my husband's car this week and he has enough plastic bottles in his car… [laughing] …to kill off the Great Barrier Reef, so, maybe…maybe I should do something to correct that. Speaking of Clint… Yaaaaas! It's his birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday, buddy! Happy birthday to my love! He’s 28, right? Yes. That's what I thought. He is blub-blub-blub years young. [laughing] And feeling every single one of them. Feeling every single one of those blub-blub-blubs. So, happy birthday! Happy birthday, Clint! What else you want to talk about? I wanted to know if you had heard about this new drink called Dunkin’ Spiked. Oh my, no. But I am very interested. These are ready to drink alcoholic beverages...there's four flavors and before you get too super excited, right now they are only released in like 12 states. I'm sure we're not one of them. No, we're not, I checked, but the flavors are original iced coffee, caramel iced coffee, mocha iced coffee and vanilla. Those are the four flavors in that pack. And you can't buy these at their stores, like you can't go through the drive thru and get an alcoholic beverage. But it's mostly the east coast is where they're being released, it's like Pennsylvania and places like that. I've never had anything from Dunkin’ Donuts. Ever. Anything? Anything. You've never had a Duncan Donuts donut? Nope. They're not anywhere near my normal stomping grounds. So that's life this week. Yep. Anyway, we're not here to talk about Dunkin’ Spiked or Conquerors Challenge or any of those things. No. That's just for everybody else's edification. What we're really here for is… …the Reading of the Lists! This is where we'll tell you our top five most interesting, funniest and most successful searches for the week in list form. Brea, it's an odd week, you get to go first. Because I am odd, yes. Go ahead, you weirdo! Here are my top five searches this week. Number one: Little People Collector Kansas City Chief Set. Number two: Chimera. Number three: Google Street View Car. Number four: Kirky dog slash Teddy Dog. Number five: Oneiromancer. Here we go. Number one: Optimus Prime Voice slash Peter Cullen. Number two: Dolores O'Reardon slash Keening slash County Limerick. Number three: Slotherhouse Movie. Number four: Turkey Vocalizations. Number five: What is Black Tar Heroin? That's my list. Your gummies just aren't doing it anymore. I gotta relax! Well now that we've read our lists, it's time to play a little game we like to call... [together] Search me! Where we each pose one question to each other and see if we can answer it based only on the reading of the lists. Cara, today you're playing for this beautiful box of M&Ms. [box rattles and Cara gasps] Am I holding it upside down? Oh my gosh, they're peanut M&Ms. Your faves. My fave. Alright, I'm going to put this down because they're loud. There's nothing like a fresh peanut M&M. They're out of your reach until you answer this question correctly. They're payback for the Swedish Fish because I ate every single one of those before the weekend was over. Here's your question: Which search stumped the Big G and nearly drove me barking mad? I'm going with Oneiromancy…oh crap. Barking mad… I….was so focused on what the answer might be, I didn't pick up on the barking….I'm so embarrassed. That's alright. The search was Kirky dog slash Teddy dog. Tell me all about it. This was another logic puzzle term lookup. [laughing] I think I have three this week. That's hilarious. Well, when you do 100 in a day… Good point. This puzzle was about matching dog breeds to their owners and two of the breeds that they mentioned were Kirky dog and Teddy dog. I looked everywhere for Kirky dog and it was corgis and I never figured out why and I finally just decided that it's people mispronouncing corgi and thinking it's Kirky instead of corgi. Really? That's it I mean it was a very unsatisfying search and search result. So, did you ever find anything about Teddy dog? Yes. Teddy dog came up right away. It's a crossbreed between a Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu. What in the world does that look like? They don't all look the same because those breeds are so different, so it depends on how it mixes. Gotcha. But typically, they look like little teddy bears. I know exactly what you're talking about. Called a Teddy Bear Dog. Ok, huh. It's a designer dog breed. You know, one of those. Posh… If anyone out there knows better about what Kirky dog is, let us know. K-I-R-K-Y. Yes, that's how it was in the puzzle. Now, we have discussed… [laughing] …Brain and Brian. Correct. So, who knows? But corgis are my favorite doggos and I love them. I can watch them on Instagram pretty much all day. They're so funny and they're not very bright. Yes, their ears are so big. Their butts kill me. Their tiny legs. They're very cute dogs. Anyway, so... I can't believe I missed your clue. I worked so hard on it too. I'm really sorry. That's alright. So what do you have for me this week? Alright, are you ready? This is in celebration of the Chief's first game next week. So, you're playing for Kansas City Chief's Team Trivia Challenge cards. What?! Uh huh. Each card has five questions and there's a game. There's like game rules. Game night! It was a total freak accident that I found these. We were at the alcohol store. Which was hoppin’ last night. Good gravy! I bet. Okay, the question is: which of these searches started on Wikipedia but after reading some information I knew in my heart to be wrong, took me to several other sites only to learn that what I thought I knew about this topic was indeed wrong and Wikipedia was correct? That's a convoluted question I understand. I understand it though. So let me think about this a second…Optimus Prime Voice…awwww. I'm so sorry that's wrong. We both don't get our prizes this week. It's Dolores O'Reardon. You know who that is right? Yeah from The Cranberries. I thought she died from cancer. How, In my brain? I don't even know where I got that information. But she did not die from cancer. She died from drowning. Yes. Which made me even more sad. Maybe I learned that when it happened and I was like, no I don't like that. I'm gonna just change that in my brain. Were you conflating her with somebody else? Definitely not. I just thought it was her because she died so young. I don't know. I just made up a story I guess. But, yeah, she died from drowning in 2018. January of 2018! I can't believe it's been so long ago. I know. Every time I hear a Cranberry song I think, aww she just died. Exactly. And that's actually what prompted this was I was listening to a Cranberries album this week. Oh. And I don't know a lot about her. So I just went to look her up and learn some things about her and that's when I learned how she actually died. I had no idea. Anyway, she was best known for her lilting mezzo-soprano voice, her signature yodel, emphasized use of keening, which I had to look up, and strong Limerick accent. And Limerick is the name of the county where her hometown is located, which her hometown is Ballybricken Ireland. What a great name. Absolutely it is. She started singing in her family's Catholic church and then joined The Cranberries in 1990 when she was 19 years old. The Cranberries rocketed to fame with her. The Cranberries released seven studio albums, four of which went to number one on the charts. In 2003, Delores took a 6-year hiatus, which I didn’t know, and in 2007 released an album called Are You Listening? Followed by No Baggage in 2009. She reunited with The Cranberries the same year and they went on a world tour with the release of their new album called Roses. She appeared as a judge on The Voice of Ireland. That was in 2013. In 2014 she joined the trio D.A.R.K. and they released an album called Science Agrees. Throughout her life, she struggled with depression and the pressure of her own success and was diagnosed with bipolar disease in 2015. Didn't know that either. Not that I needed to. She subsequently released her last album with The Cranberries called Something Else in 2017 -- that's a really good album, by the way. It's mostly acoustical. And then in 2019, after she passed away The Cranberries released the Grammy nominated album In the End featuring her final vocal recordings. I haven't heard that one. Then I looked up Keening. Keening is a traditional form of vocal lament for the dead in the Gaelic Celtic tradition. It was known to have taken place in Ireland, Scotland; it performed in the Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages and was once an integral part of the formal Irish funeral ritual, but declined from the 18th century and became almost complete extinct by the mid-20th century. Only a handful of authentic Keening songs were recorded from traditional singers. All of the recordings I found, you can tell these people are very elderly and they're old recordings. There's nothing that I could find that was super current. Right. Kind of interesting. So, then I was like, Limerick, let's look that up. Yes. Because I wanted to know if that's where the Limerick was invented. And according to Britannica.com, the origin of the Limerick is unknown, but it has been suggested that the name derives from the chorus of the 18th century Irish solder song Will You Come Up to Limerick? To this song were added impromptu verses crowded with improbable incidents and subtle innuendo. And what year was that? The song was from the 18th century, it all it said. Okay. I thought I just spaced out and didn't hear the actual date because it was a number. And when somebody says numbers, I just go, “bluh, bluh, bluh, bluh.” Oh, you know what? I should have looked up that song. It's royalty free, I'm sure. [Gasp} I'll have to search and find out. I will sing you a little Irish ditty. It will not shock you to know that I read a series of cozy mysteries. Wait, when did you start that?! It's a new hobby, but it takes place in County Cork. I read about County Cork! And a teeny tiny town in County Cork that is fictional, I believe. Limerick is close to Cork. I'm sure because it's not a very big country. It's not a big country. [laughing] Everything's close to everything. That's the end of my search. We've almost been friends as long as The Cranberries have been singing songs and we share a vast history together. We do. It's a shared history. And now we're going to share our internet search histories. The first one I'm going to talk about is Little People Collector Kansas City Chief's Set. Is this the little people I think it is? I know you're a little people person. I'm a big little people person. You're a big little people person. That's right. One of my favorite quotes. But it's football season. At last. Yesyesyesyesyesyes. I mean, I have been…dude, I even watched XFL in the off season. She did! That's how much I love football and I miss it so much [crying voice]. And we already talked about how the Chiefs are going to play in the first regular season game Thursday against the Lions. The Lions! [singing] Get ready to suck it! I thought it was going to be a lame game, but they're actually pretty good this year, but they say that every year. Nice try, Detroit. If you think I'm not excited, you don't know me. I know that you're excited. Google also knows me really well. When I swipe right on my phone on my phone screen, it takes me to news stories and the first item is always about the Kansas City Chiefs. I did it this morning just to test my claim. The first story was a CBS sports story with the headline Chiefs Travis Kelsey says Chris Jones deserves quote ‘all the money in the world’ followed by a local crime story because meh who cares? Google knows my priorities. The other day I swiped right to see if anything interesting was happening in the world. And the top story for me was about Mattel releasing limited edition NFL little people collector sets. That's brilliant. Take my money. Right. And the Kansas City set features Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, and two fans. Each set features two players and two fans. I could not give them my payment info fast enough. I was fumbling for the mouse because what if they sold out? There's a limit of five for each set. Oh, that's hilarious. How many did you get? I really wanted to get five but they were $25 a pop. [GASP] So, what else comes with the little people? That's it. You just get the little people?! I mean, they're dressed up in their jerseys and their helmets and well, Patrick Mahomes doesn't have his helmet on because you got to be able to see the hair. They come in a collector's box. That's kind of cool that you could keep them in and display them, but I'll probably let Quinn play with them. Well, I would get them out and play with them. Yeah, I mean, they're little. Come on. They're supposed to be played with. So, I just bought one because I know so many people that that would be such a great gift for. But as soon as they find out about them, they're going to be like me and buy it for themselves. That is probably true. So I just bought one for me and then I bought a Cowboys set for Clint, of course. Oh, fun. So the Cowboys players featured are -- this cracked me up -- C.D. Lamb and Micah Parsons, who are both defensive players. If you're Dak Prescott… Right? …are your feelings hurt? I think so! I don't even know who those two guys are. They're really good players and they're really good defensive players. But come on. I can't believe…. How do they choose the players, I wonder. Maybe by Jersey sales? I don't know. Because that would make sense because Kelsey and Mahomes are the top Jersey sales for sure. I wonder if they had to have permission. Maybe Dak was like, don't you dare make me a little person. Oh, maybe. You think he's prejudicing against little people? I don't know. It just makes me wonder how they made that decision. I also looked up the Green Bay Packers. Yesyesyesyesyes. Sorry to say it's kind of lame sauce. Oh, noes… Because this is a terrible year for them to have a set like this. Who do they have? Oh, no. Who? Nobody. Four fans? They've got two fans and they've got two generic players with double zero jerseys. That is lame! I wonder if maybe Green Bay is like you can't have the rights to… Maybe so! Because Green Bay is a special situation. They ARE special... They're owned by the fans. That's true. I wonder if they couldn’t reach an agreement, or they just didn't even try or it wasn't an option. That's interesting. I was super disappointed. That is disappointing. Who would you have picked if you could have chosen? I would have picked Jordan Love, for sure, and then probably….I can't think of his name…Bakhtiari. Oh, I thought about Bakhtiari too. I can't believe I came up with it. Good job brain! He's a beast. He IS a beast. And Jordan, Jordan Love. I've been watching some preseason videos and you guys just watch out! Okay. Alrighty. That's it. That's my little people saga. That's fun. It is fun. I can't wait to get them. They are pretty cool. The first one I'm going to share with you is Optimus Prime voice. Are you familiar? Can you hear that voice in your head from your childhood? Sort of. It's Peter Cullen. Who's Peter Cullen? Oh, I'm glad you asked. Okay. This search was prompted by the television show, The Toys That Made Us, because there's a Transformers episode. Yes. It was super enjoyable actually. Peter Cullen was the voice of Optimus Prime on the 80s cartoon Transformers and he is still the voice of Optimus Prime to this day. How old is this dude? He is 82. Still has a great voice though. He does. And so he is still doing like every Transformer movie that comes out. If there's an Optimus Prime character, he is still hired to do that voice. Wow. I know. He's got it on lock. He is a very prolific voice actor. And so that's mostly what this is about. He has played various characters prior to becoming a voice actor. He was on the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour from 1971 to 1974. He would pop in as different characters on that show. Then he turned to voice acting. And during the 80s this guy was just HOT. He was on the original Scooby Doo cartoon series, the original Spider-Man cartoon series. He was the voice of K.I.T.T.'s evil twin, K.A.R.R, K-A-R-R, in Knight Rider, which stands for Knight Automated Roving Robot. K.I.T.T. incidentally stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand. Did you know that? I didn't know that. No. I was super into K.I.T.T. and Knight Rider. I thought David Hasselhoff was pretty dreamy. He was dreamy. He was a tall drink of water, too. Yeah. He still is. He was also the voice on the Dukes cartoon series, Duke's of Hazzard cartoon series. I didn't know there was a cartoon. What? Yeah. G.I. Joe. The Pacman cartoon from 82-84, the Mr. T cartoon, various voices from the Gremlins movie, various characters on Three's a Crowd, various voices on the Smurfs cartoon, the Cabbage Patch Kids TV movie, The Snorks. Do you remember that? Oh my gosh, yes. I loved that cartoon! But it was kind of like dollar store Smurfs. It was very similar to the Smurfs. I never thought about it. We watched the Smurfs, but I didn't love it. I wasn't like Smurf crazy, even though I got a Smurfs comforter for my birthday one year. I was kind of like mmmm... Yeah. Sometimes parents think they're down with what the kids want. It was probably on sale. All right. The Snorks. The Pink Panther cartoon, he was voices there. He was voices on the Jetsons, Rainbow Brite, Alvin the Chipmunks, Dungeons and Dragons the cartoon. Lots of My Little Pony voices. One of the characters that he voiced on My Little Pony was named Captain Crabnasty and somehow I'm going to work that into my vocabulary from now on. Stop being a Captain Crabnasty! How hilarious is that? They just came back from the VD clinic and they were like I'm Captain Crabnasty. Oh gross. RUINED. All right. The Muppet Babies. Oh my gosh, I loved that cartoon. I watched the crap out of that cartoon. I could probably still sing the theme song. I absolutely could. The Ghostbusters cartoon. Moon Dreamers. And this was a throwback: do you remember Foofer? The cartoon about the blue dog? I had totally forgotten about the Foofer cartoon. I don't remember Foofer. I loved that cartoon. Nope. That was in the depths of my brain. The only blue dog I know about is Blue from Blue's Clues. Oh yes. Duck Tales, woo-ooo! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tail Spin. Do you remember Tail Spin? Oh yes! So good! I love Tail Spin too. Me too. Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers. He was the voice of Monterey Jack! Oh! I didn't know that. Adventures of the Gummy Bears! Did you watch that one?! Of course! That was like my top number one of all time cartoons. I loved that cartoon. I could definitely still sing the theme song to that cartoon. Me. Too. The whole thing. As a matter of fact, I think recently, I don't know how it came up, but that recently came up in our house and I did sing the whole thing at the dinner table and my kids were not amused. Oh my gosh. I'm delighted to know that you a) know that cartoon existed and b) that you know the theme song because that just solidifies our friendship for the rest of time. Yeah. We need to sing a duet of that theme song to my kids. Oh my gosh. They would love it. I would do it. I'll plan on it. I'll practice. Okay. He did the vocal effects for The Predator from the movie of the same name. Yeah. Have you ever seen that movie? Bits and Pieces. Same. I've never seen the whole thing. You know, that's not really my genre. Me neither. And then this one's for you. I saved the one for last that I thought you'd get the biggest kick out of. He was the voice of Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh. Looks like rain. My tail fell off again. That's every dumb dog in my head is the Eeyore voice. And some dumb people as well. Oh my gosh. That's my derpy dopey-doh voice. So seriously, I've only named a few of the shows this guy was in. GOOD GRIEF! I mean, he was, all this guy did was cartoons and I mean, he's just, I hope they paid him well because he worked hard. Did he ever sleep? And he's still at it. Yes! He’s 82, he's Canadian. He has four kids, three grandkids. He's a huge supporter of NASA and he has handprints on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was in that show -- the Transformers episode, it was fun to hear his voice again. And then when I researched this and learned all the things he was in, I'm impressed. Yeah. I mean, that's some serious work. Yes. Anyway, that’s the end of that search. All right. Whachoo got? The next one is Google Street View car. Yes. Here's the context. Jacki and I were in the car, and we passed a Google Street View car and it has the roof mounted camera. I don't know if you remember this, but a long, long time ago, like when Google Street View was fairly new, I was on Google Street View turning into our neighborhood. Turning! Yes! Yeah. And I know it was us because the Prince of the Zoo sticker. I used to just look that up, just to get a laugh. I'm sure it's changed since then because surely they've updated it. I would think so. But anyway, Jacki and I saw the car and we started speculating about what that job would be like and what it would entail. What are the logistics of mapping so many streets in the world? And then I told her it's stressing me out a little bit just thinking about it. So I dropped her off where I was taking her and then I had to wait for her. So while I waited, I looked it up because I was like, well, it's going to stress me out not knowing. Got the time. Let’s do it. Let’s do this! I found a Reader's Digest article… …oh, so Reader's Digest is still around? It's still around. And it's gone digital. Perfect. February of this year is when this article was, so it's very recent. Here's what a Google spokesperson said: “Street View cars have special cameras that take photographs as they drive down public streets. Once the photographs have been taken, they’re stitched to create seamless 360 degree images in which they blur faces or license plates” like they did with my car. “The fleet of a little more than 250 cars is used in 87 countries and has mapped over 10 million miles to date. But volunteers called local guides can also contribute images. Anyone can be a local guide and submit your photos. That's how they get so many photos, especially in places that are kind of inaccessible where they don't have or countries where they don't have street view cars. Because, like I said, it’s only in 87 countries. OK. However, they use trolleys, snowmobiles, three-wheelers, and there's even this portable camera backpack called a trekker that some of the Google employees can wear on their backs in places that are only accessible by foot. Oh my goodness… Because it's very rare that you cannot find a street view anymore of a place. Which is why it stresses me out thinking about what a massive job that is to do that. Google gets special permission from people who live in gated communities to be able to map those street views that are behind gates. And country to country, it kind of varies depending on privacy laws and security and things like that. That's interesting. Street view was just relaunched in India. Relaunched? Relaunched in 2022. They had been banned by the country over security concerns. It's just a matter of what's acceptable for these different countries and their customs and things like that. Has Google gone into North Korea? I doubt it. That would be interesting. In the US, all public property is fair game. If you live on a normal residential street, they can take a picture of your house. Where they're taking the picture from is public. So, there were some questions that I had that were not answered by my search. Yes, I also have questions. They're just running through my head. Here's some that you're not going to get an answer from me because I couldn't find an answer either. How often do they update the photos? How do they systematically and efficiently go about driving through areas to get the pictures? How do they know where they've been, where they haven't been, where they still need to go? No kidding. I'm sure it's all A.I. and computerized and all that. How long does it take to drive an entire town like ours, which I looked up, is 83.7 square miles. Gosh. That's the city limits of this town. That's a lot of driving. I look up a lot of addresses at work because of the job that I do. I start with Google Maps because I need to see a street view and then I use another program that we have. Yeah. Arc Viewer or something like that. Exactly. GIS. I have yet to find a street that doesn't have a Google view of it. I bet they've mapped this whole town. Yeah. I'd be surprised if they hadn't. What questions do you have that I probably can't answer? You covered them. Their cars are driven by people, right? They’re not like… Yeah. My first question was, does a computer program blur out all the things? It's like, okay, I know I need to blur out faces and I'm looking for, okay, so that's done by computers. Yep. That's good. That would suck as a job for a human. Then I was wondering if they used any automatic cars without humans in them. And then I was wondering, how does one go about getting a job sitting in a car and just listening to music and driving around all day… I don't know, but…. …because mama interested. …base pay is $30 an hour. Shut your face! I'm not kidding. That's the average base pay. Wow. That is more than I was expecting it to be. I did want to know how often it gets updated. They said it takes months to get the pictures and process them and have them published on Google maps. Yeah. So by the time they do that, a lot of times it's already outdated, especially considering what's going on. Oh my gosh. It's a constant process. That would be really interesting to see a documentary of beginning to end. Hey, we're going to go drive and then just the entire process to the final upload. That would be super cool. That goes along with my, how is it done videos? How do they make that? Yep. The last thing I'll say about this. Yes? Cute facts. I love this stuff because it's really creative and nerdy and I just love it. You know the little peg man that you take and you pull them down to do the street view? Yes. Okay. He changes sometimes depending on location. Okay… Area 51? No! He turns into a flying saucer. Shut up! I love it. In the Florida Keys, he turns into a mermaid. [laughing] And when you're viewing older images that they have not updated, but it's just older footage, he'll change to Doc Brown from Back to the Future. Oh my gosh! That is freaking hilarious! I know! I thought that was really funny and cute and clever. I love it. That's it. Oh, that's a good search. Oh yes. It was interesting. I enjoyed that. This next one of mine is very quick. I was buying tickets to, well no, I was buying one ticket because I'm going to go alone to see the Taylor Swift Eras tour at the movie theater because I can't get anyone to go with me. But that's okay. Mama can be alone. So as I was researching this, I ran across a stupid movie called Slotherhouse. It's a horror movie. The storyline, according to IMDB, is “Emily Young, a senior, wants to be elected as her sorority's president. She adopts a cute sloth, thinking it will become the new mascot of their house and help her win until a string of fatalities implicate the sloth as the main suspect of the murders.” Oh my gosh. So. Stupid. So then I was like, I got to know a little bit more about this and I found the tagline for the movie. It’s “Don't rush, die slow.” [laughing] You have to. It's considered a comedy slash horror slash thriller. Quotes about the movie include, “It's in the same realm of Snakes on a Plane and Cocaine Bear” which I’m saying probably tracks. Yes. I don't watch horror movies, but I did watch the trailer for this thing. Brea, it looks horrendously horrible. The sloth is like a puppet. I mean, it's not even a real sloth. They're not even trying. The thing is a stupid puppet. Like it reminded me of Chucky. In fact, Chucky looked better than this. I was thinking about Cocaine Bear. Have you seen that? No. We almost watched it the other night, but then we didn't. Yeah. Amazon really wants me to watch that. Amazon really wants us to watch it, too. I was like, you guys are going to love this. I have seen Snakes on Plane [laughing]. I have not. Oh girl. That would give me nightmares. Even though it's silly. Oh yes! Yeah, don't watch it. With you and your recurring snake dreams, don't watch that. I can't do snakes. It's really funny. But it's not funny. It's terrible. Yeah. But it's funny. Anyway, that's the end. I was like, Slotherhouse? I got to know a little bit more about this. And, of course, my IQ dropped just a little bit after I read it. Oh, absolutely. There's that. The next one I'm going to talk about is chimera. Yes. Which also can be pronounced Chimera or Chimeera. There's lots of different pronunciations, but I'm just going to stick with chimera. Okay. Because that's how I've always heard it pronounced. I looked it up just to be sure. Because sometimes you do mispronounce words your whole life and not know it. It's happened to me more than once. Uh-uh. I don't believe that for a second. Because I read so much. And so I just assume I know how to pronounce it based on just reading it. And then I'll hear somebody pronounce it out loud and I'll be like, what? I'm a hooked on phonics girl. Absolutely. It gets me in trouble a lot of times with things like Celtic words, like Celtic. Moving on. Chimera. This is another logic puzzle thing I had to look up. These logic puzzles that Cara and I are both doing now, which delights me, they are really into mythology and monsters and things like that. I haven't got there yet. You'll come across it. Okay. And they mentioned a chimera in a puzzle. And I was thinking, I've heard this before and I've read it before, but I don't really know what it is. And what it does and whatever. It's a fire breathing mythical monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. That is not what I thought that you were going to say. It's ugly and it's scary. That was what I searched for. Yeah. But some other things that came up when I searched this term, that's what really interested me. Okay. It also refers to an organism in real life, not mythology. Okay. That contains a mixture of genetically different tissues. This can happen artificially, like through laboratory manipulation, which I'm not quite sure about ethically, but can be extremely useful and beneficial in the medical field. The occurrences of chimerasm that I'm most interested in though, are the somewhat more natural ways it can happen. Okay. For example, most of the time people don't even know they're a chimera unless they've had a DNA test. Or you've had to have a medical procedure and they need to know like your blood type, or your DNA, or they're trying to match something like an organ to you. It often occurs during prenatal development when two fraternal twins merge into one baby. Oh, whoa! So, you start out as twins, non-identical twins, and one of the twins goes away and it becomes part of the other twin. Oh my gosh… So, you can have some of the organs, some of your organs are actually your twins organs. No! Yes! That is freaking me out! There are outward signs of this sometimes, like different hair color, like on different sides of the body. What? No! So, Jem, I think gem is a chimera. Or hair growth patterns, like you could be really hairy on one side of your body and not hairy on the other side of your body, or the fingers on one of your hands looking different than the fingers on your other hand. So usually it's like a hemispheral thing. Holy cow! Yeah, yeah. The most common though is two different eye colors. Okay. And I actually knew a guy once who was a fraternal twin and his twin was alive and he had one brown eye and one blue eye, but his twin just had two brown eyes. So now I'm wondering if he was a chimera and they were originally [together] triplets! And he was like, sthsp sthsp sthsp! No, that's not, that's not how it happens!! [laughing] I'm turning this into, like, a sci-fi movie, but… My brain doesn't like this. …it just becomes absorbed into the other twin in the zygotic stage. Listen, the research I did got very in the weeds on this. Animals can be chimeras; 95% of the time, a baby marmoset is a chimera. And this has been considered rare historically in humans, but historically we did not have the technology to test people's DNA. And people are doing fertility drugs. Exactly. And more and more people are needing to have tests done or organ transplants or whatever, I mean, corneal transplants, whatever. Right. And just with the advancement of technology. Yes. And people doing DNA tests to figure out their genealogy. Yes. People are finding out that they are chimeras. Oh my gosh. Which would be wild. So it's probably a lot more common than we think it is, because some people probably just never find out. It happens more often in cases of in vitro fertilization… Ding, ding, ding! …and organ transplantation. Here are some of the crazier examples. Oh, so, oh, so I get your liver…oh… …and you have Bibi DNA in you. Okay. I'm with you. Okay. So here are some crazy situations. The DNA content of semen from an assault case in 2004, matched that of a man who had an air tight alibi at the time. Oh noes... He was in prison at the time of the attack. However, he had been a bone marrow donor to his brother who was later determined to have committed the crime. Oh my word! Nice family, by the way. Right? Here's another crazy one. In 2008, a man was killed in a traffic accident in South Korea and they had to use his DNA to identify him and the DNA in his blood and some of his organs appeared to show he was female. This was not a transgender man. Later it was determined he had received a bone marrow transplant from his daughter. Oh, my goodness. Wow. And her DNA just kind doo-doo-doo-doo-doo! Traveled around in his body. Went different places. So bone marrow transmits DNA a lot, apparently. That’s interesting… In 1998, this is going in the way back machine, a man found out he had some partially developed female organs. Hoooooo-kay... He had been conceived by in vitro fertilization. There are more and more instances of medical researchers pushing the ethical boundaries. In 2017, a human pig chimera was created using human stem cells…and you're going to freak out when I tell you this. In 2021, a joint project between the U.S. and China created a human-monkey chimera [laughing]. Nooo……NOO! See, this is how they're going to take over!! Everybody's got to ruin a good thing. Neither of these creatures was allowed to gestate fully. They just kind of wanted to see if they could do it. Whoa. They did. And they're hoping though that they can develop the embryos longer in order to harvest donations of organs. Whaaaat? Eeeeeeee, I'm not okay with that. So, you need a liver? The organ donor list is too long? Maybe you can get a liver from a monkey. Oh my gosh. That's wow. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. Obviously, it's a controversial topic and concept and we're not going to get into it. My brain. Chimera. Wow. You blew my mind. My next one is super-duper not on that level. Okay. I'm ready. We're taking it down to the woods people. This week I was sitting in my new car in the garage. In your happy place. In my happy place. Why were you sitting in the car? Because I was setting up my car play, like Apple play, and I was getting my seat memory situated correctly. Oh my gosh. I was like setting up all the bells and whistles because you know that this car does amazing things without you even telling it, but you can also turn these options off. Right. So, I was trying to decide which ones I wanted. I was just in this garage and I hear this all of a sudden this clucking and I look in the side view mirror and the neighbor's pet turkey is in the garage. First of all, the fact that your neighbors have a pet turkey. He has a turkey. It has a name, but I don't know what it is. So, it's clucking and so I started to cluck back at it because it was kind of funny and we had this little turkey conversation. Yes. And then it started to get too close to my car and I was like, you get away because I was afraid it was going to like start flapping and jump up on the car and roost there. Right. I didn't want it to scratch my car. So I had to get out and shoo it away. Turkey feet are crazy and gross. Oh my gosh. So, turkeys are just nasty. They kind of are. They're so ugly. Sorry turkeys, but you are. Have you looked in the mirror? But the video you sent me….[laughing]. I bet they look in the mirror a lot and they're very sensitive about how they look. So, you're being so mean. ‘My beard. My turkey neck.’ ‘My waddle.’ ‘I need to start using night cream.’ Oh, they're so ugly… So, Sean and I were talking about this turkey and uh, just the sounds it was making. I said, I've never heard it make this particular sound and he goes, ‘well, that's a putt.’ I said, ‘a putt”’ and he goes, ‘yeah, that's a turkey putt!’ I thought, well, I got to look that up. So, I have some information about turkey vocalizations for you. I'm so ready. It turns out that wild turkeys have 20 different calls. Rest assurmed, I will not be going through all 20 of them. I'm going to cover the most common vocalizations. Because they have 29, it makes them the most vocal of birds in the wild. We're going to cover the yelp, the tree yelp, clucks and putts, purring and gobbling. Quick breakdown: and turkey hunters, don't come at me because I've simplified this information. I'm trying to keep it short because let me tell you, this was a lot of information. Yeah, I'm sure. I'm shortening it for you people. The yelp, primarily used by hens as a locator, a brood assembly call or an indicator that a female is ready to breed. Ohhh… Bahw-chicka-baow-baow! And typically they make this sound five to seven times in a row. And it's just like a, I don't know what it sounds like. This turkey is single and ready to mingle. [turkey vocalization attempt] Oh, very good… My guessing it sounds like. Okay. The tree yelp is an early morning sound from turkeys that are still on the roost and made with the beak nearly closed. So, it's used to communicate to the flock as the flock is waking up and they become louder and louder until everybody's ready to fly to the ground for the day. So it's more of a boop boop boop boop boop. It's like your alarm. Yes. It gets louder and louder. Yes! Until you, yeah, turn it off. Turkeys have alarms too. The cluck is a short one note call often used by a turkey to get the attention and or locate another turkey. It's the human equivalent of Marco! Polo! Humans can easily confuse the cluck with the putt, which is also a one note call that turkeys use as an alarm when they sense danger. [turkey vocalization attempt] That wasn't bad! Yeah… Turkey clucks are softer than putts and sound more content, whereas putts are often louder, sharper and emitted closer together. Purring is usually a soft rolling call used by feeding turkeys. Some say it's a call of contentment, but most biologists believe that a purring is a call of spatial relations, like this is my spot, stay out of it. Oh yeah, yeah. Gobbling is the only true mating call of the turkey. The main vocalization of toms in the spring when gobbling is at its peak, the first gobble usually rings out about 30 minutes before sunrise, often in response of the first call of a crow or other loud sound. Gobbling increases with the amount of gray light and just a bit before sunrise is typically the height of gobbling activity, which is why people get up like at four in the morning to go out and get their spot before sunrise. Special thanks to the meat eater.com for this information. [laughing] So, there you learn something that you didn't even know you wanted to know. Well, you better post that video. It does display some of my own special turkey calls. It does. You're very good at it. Thanks. It was very difficult to get rid of that turkey. I feel like it was looking for a commitment. I don't know. It was wanting some girl talk. My last logic puzzle-inspired search is Oneiromancy. Yes! Oneiromancy is a form of divination based upon dreams. It's used to predict the future. According to Britannica.com…. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! We kept it hot this week! When you said that earlier, I was like, of course! It's considered a divine act in most cultures based on the belief that dreams are messages sent to the soul by gods or the dead. Oh, I'm in trouble. Oh my gosh. I have that right here: It says if you or I were seers with this power, the world would be in deep shit because our dreams are so weird. Oh crap! I just like had a visual of the miniature donkeys. Like they just came marching through my brain…Don't think of it. I'm going to lose it if I do. If that ever happens, we'll know that I have the power of oneiromancy. You're a seer. I am. Actually, I think I'm way too self-centered to have this power. All of my dreams are about me, me, me. Their meanings, if they have any, are all to do with what's going on in my life, in my head. I think that that's what dreams are about, though. That's what the experts quote unquote say is that everybody in your dream is actually you. It's a reflection of you, which is crazy because I have a lot of stressful dreams where I argue with people. Oh, so you're arguing with yourself. I guess. I guess I'm conflicted. See, I don't know about that. Or I don't like myself because that's what it usually is, is that the person in the dream doesn't like me. Maybe I just have self-esteem issues. I would not want to be able to see the future through my dreams or any means really. MM-mm…nerp. No, thank you. No interest. Too much responsibility. Absolutely. Hell no. Nope. I didn't click on any more links because I don't want Google to get the wrong idea. Yes, that was wise. And start suggesting woo-woo things to me because think about it: last week I looked up agate, crystals, occamy. This week I've looked up chimera and I'm already getting way too many crocs ads and croc- related things sent to me because of Peyton's questionable fashion choices. [laughing] So, I didn't want to keep going down that road and have Google be like, hey, you really like all this stuff. No, I just don't know what they are because I'm typically not interested in them. So, I have to look it up when I see a term. What the hell is that? And I can't just leave it at that. And it makes for good fodder for our podcast. Of course, it does. It gets a little repetitive when I say, ‘hey guys, saw this in logic puzzle.’ Peter Cullen needs to be my voice. ‘Once again, Brea did a logic puzzle and her search was based on it.’ ‘I guess I'll do another logic puzzle.’ ‘I haven't hit a hundred yet today.’ ‘I've known all the words so far.’ ‘I don't have any blood clots in my legs.’ [laughing] Okay. That's all my stuff. You've got one more. I have one more. It's very short. I was watching Peaky Blinders because you said I should. We've gotten through episode three, starting four, and I told Sean because Tom Hardy is in it, I need to continue. And so we've given it another chance. And he was smoking something. The main character. What's his name? Tommy. Thank you. And I was like, what is that? And of course, Sean knew. So, I asked him how he knew that was black tar heroin and he just knows stuff because he reads so much. And so, I looked up plaque tar heroin and I was really hoping to find history. I don't know, I just wanted to know the history. How far back does this go? Blah, blah, blah. Well, I couldn't really find any history about it. It was all present day black tar heroin information. Where it's manufactured, where it's found in the US, why it's called black tar heroin. It's also called the black dragon. It's dark color. It's a result of crude processing methods that leave behind impurities. So, when you have a white powder heroin, it's been processed better and it's more pure form. Right. So, it's probably cut with fentanyl and you're going to die. Probably at this stage in time. Yes. Please don't do it. Please don't. And so this technique is quicker. It's more economical. They can move it faster. The white powder, it takes way too long. The white powder is also usually huge bulk amounts. And the plaque tar heroin is like, they make it and it's just like shove it out the door, shove it out the door, like little amounts. And again, this is all present day. It's mostly manufactured South in Latin America, Mexico, and it just is kind of hanging out in the Southwest of the United States. Really, it's not kind of making its way across. I tried all different kinds of searches, and I finally just gave up. So, I really was hitting wall after wall after wall. I just wasn't finding what I wanted. I was like, ah, forget it. Yeah. I don't care anymore. Well, our show is always so long anyway. A short one's probably not going to hurt. So that really was the end of my search. I learned that it's called the black dragon, It's a crude processing method and dirty used today. People still use it today. Of course. Soooo… Tommy Shelby. Riding the black dragon. Shirtless, hopefully. I got to think about him for a minute. Just give me a second. Okay, [Cara humming Pomp and Circumstance] I mean, he's the best part of the show. Oh, of course. I mean, until Tom Hardy shows up, whenever that. Oh my gosh. He is quite a character. I can't wait. Crazy. Anyway, Cara. What? What about this one? What about this one? [Interstitial music] I have 10 additional searches that I did this week that we didn’t have time to discuss but maybe people will be interested and will search them on their own or ask us to do them again and do a bonus episode. Here we go. Number one, Tesla Model S. Number two, list of demons slash types of monsters slash mythical creatures. Number three, causes for twitching temple slash scalp. Number four, Barbie clothes. Number five, Richard Scarry Puzzle Town. Number six, Dream Space Studios. Number seven, Cape Bohne. Number eight, Pedipalp. Number nine, metabolism boosting foods. Number ten: Windigo. All right, your turn. [laughing] Number one, Anna brand jeans. Number two, Bob Barker death. Number three, Carl Davies death. Number four, is Carl Davies related to Andrew Davies? Number five, container homes TV show. Number six, hurricane Idaila [with southern accent & Brea laughing]. Can't say that without a Southern accent. Number seven, connect iPhone to CarPlay. Number eight: how to roll down windows with fob 2023 Honda Accord. Number nine, medium length haircuts. Number ten: Fool’s Paradise movie. Speaking of hurricane Idaila, shout out to my sissy. Yes, I had heard that it was headed that way. ‘It's headed right for us!’ But I didn't follow up on that. So, she got a couple days off of work because they don't have snow days or ice days there. They have hurricane days. She had to do all kinds of stuff to prepare. Oh yeah. Just in cases and then it ended up being nothing. I'm glad you're okay. I also would like to say hello to Janet, one of my work buddies. Hi Janet. She started listening. She's an adventurous active woman of a certain age. Good for her. Yeah, she is. So, she listens to us in her car on her way to and from all of the exciting things that she does. I wish I was that way. I think about being that way and then it just never happens. I do too and then I'm like oh this bed is so comfortable. Those are the shout outs I have. Okay I'm going to shout out to Shannon B from the TV station. She was saying that she's enjoying the podcast so I wanted to give a little shout out to her. Oh! Alright well one more shout out. Martha D wanted us to know that SKOL, the word that you used… Yes! …also means ‘cheers’. Oh right! And she knows this because she grew up around a Danish family and even spent four weeks during a summer in Demark when they had 18 hours of sunlight. So she said it's a real thing. She also said that she had Richard Scarry Puzzle Town and that she could drive to her mom's house tonight and play with it if she wanted to. I'm jealous. Well, she loved Puzzle Town but I also have some very disturbing news. Oh no. She does not know who Jem is. That's the most truly outrageous news I've ever heard. She has no idea. I sent her a picture of the Jem doll. She's got nothing. MARTHA! when I get a Jem doll we'll get together and we'll play Jem. That's all my shout outs. Okay so let's talk about your car name. Alright. Real quick. Yes. I compiled all the car suggestions that we have so far. Excellent. Of course, I might not have seen some so please people don't be mad or upset if I miss some. Novelist Martha she put forth Rhonda the Honda. [laughing] I just saw Rhonda but I didn't hear it say Rhonda the Honda. Yeah Rhonda the Honda. I like it. Pennsylvania Erin wants to put forth Buffy Carina Burchington. That's so fancy. Cooper Trooper said Betty White. That's an amazing name. How did we not think of that? I have no idea. Shansty: she said Posh Pearl. Posh Pearl? And Indiana Bea. Crown. CROWN! She suggests Bianca, Blanca, Alba, Blanche. Oh, I do like Blanche. Geyn G-E-Y-N they all mean white. Blanche means white? Got a couple of golden girls options there. Right? Okay I'm narrowing it down and I promise I will have an answer next time. I'm going to pull the trigger this week and the next podcast I will have an answer. Very, very cool. You know what we should ask our listeners to do! Rate and review us. Yes! You need to.
