You don't know how I suffer, my nurse! You have no regard for my wife, insurance! My nurse! Your nurse has been my close friend these many years. I can't remember the things to quote, so it means it's time to watch it again. With you the sun is shining 24-7, cause when we're together, it feels like we're in heaven. If it will get dark, you'll be my million stars… Welcome to episode 27 of Delete This History, a podcast by two besties of a certain age searching for answers. We're your hosts, Brea Brown and Cara Burch. I'm still kind of riding the high. I don't know about you. Well, I would have been. Uh oh. Oh. Work was so lul this week and I didn't feel so great. I had a little, a little bit of a cold something or other, but I wish I could bottle that feeling. I know at the end of that game. It was so awesome. It was pandemonium at my brother's house. I can only imagine. For those of you who don't know, we are talking about the Super Bowl in America. Oh yeah. In the United States. American football. Super Bowl. Our team won. Our team won. And we cannot believe it. We are champions. Cara believes it because she knew. I knew. She woke up just knowing that it was going to happen and Peyton, he knew. After that first half, I did not know. I was not feeling good, but I still had some belief because it's still, it's still magical Mahomes and Reed, Andy Reed. Yes. And all those other guys and our defense. Uh, yes. Holy schnikes. Thank goodness for them. They kept us in it. They did. I know you guys are sick of us talking about football and guess what? You won't have to hear it after this. It's wrapped up. It was incredible. It really was fun. When they got that last touchdown, first of all I was so excited because the other touchdown that we got, I was in the bathroom. And when I came out, everybody told me to go back in the bathroom. Ha! Because apparently that was what made the difference. That was the luck. Yeah, I guess so. But anyway. When you said, when we got that touchdown, I got chills from head to toe. Like I just got all these chills. That last touchdown. Oh, it was so awesome. Screamed so loud. We did, we lost it. And a bunch of people that were at my brother's house, his wife, two of his kids, Peyton. They all ran outside. They couldn't even, the house could not even contain them. They ran out the front door into the front yard and were screaming and Carter, his oldest son, had a flag, a Chiefs flag, and he was running up and down the sidewalk in front of their house with the Chiefs flag. And Peyton had the pom poms that I took with us to the Chiefs game a few years ago. And he was doing that. And then my brother got his bell and he ran out in the front yard and he's ringing the bell. My nephew was like, uh, his neighbors hate us. And I said, his neighbors are losing their minds too. You just can't hear them. Yeah. They just stayed in their house. And then we heard the fireworks. There were lots of fireworks. Yes. There were fireworks near us too. Hopper said she didn't, she was watching it online. Oh no. And so she heard fireworks, screaming, hollering before she even saw it happen. She had the delay problem. Yep. There was no delay problem at my brother's. That's good. I did feel bad for the 49ers cause I mean it looked like they were going to win it. It was a heartbreaker. I felt bad for them. I really did. I still do, but we won. So, and you feel so helpless watching that happen. That's the problem. Is you're watching it and you're like, Son of a you could see it on their faces. Like you could it just yeah, they were like that GD Patrick mom Man there's no other quarterback. I'd rather have in that situation. He was taking care of business He was just like good. I'm just gonna take this ball and I'm I'm running it. Yeah, I'm just gonna get us there if I get killed Oh, well, yeah, he was really putting himself on the line. It's worth it Yeah, so um… This is kind of a downer, but I feel like we need to mention what happened at the parade. Oh, really? I wasn't gonna bring it up. Really? Yeah, I just didn't want to talk about it because it just fucking pisses me off so much. It makes me very angry too, but I feel like it needs to be said that there's blood on the hands of every coward and every selfish person who refuses to do something about this when they can. I agree. There are solutions. I know and other countries have figured it out. I know. And we need to fucking get with it. Well, yeah, it's like we can't have a large group of people do anything together anymore. No. It's just a given that something like this is going to happen. And then it's like, oh, those people, the people who were there who tackled him or tackled them what heroes? Yeah, they are. But they shouldn't have to be. Yep. They're there for a celebration and nobody should have to be putting their life on the line to celebrate something so joyous. I agree. You know, there are all these silver linings like the players and Coach Reed and the coaching staff They were all comforting people afterwards and that's great and Taylor Swift has given a hundred thousand dollars to the woman who who died her family and Travis Kelsey has given a hundred thousand dollars to some of the victims who were injured. That's great It shouldn't but that becomes the story. I know it I know it it's like oh, well, we always rise to the occasion and everything always works out. No, it doesn't work out. That woman is never going to be home again. That woman went to a celebration to have a good time and will never, will never be around it again. I just. Lawmakers, you fucking suck. I know. You got to have our rights though, Brea. We got to have our guns. What we do without our guns. You have the right to go to a Superbowl parade and get gunned down. That's the right you have. I know it is. You got to fight for your right to get gunned down. Maybe Travis Kelsey should start saying that after every win. Just, so I just wanted to acknowledge that. There are people who started a day out joyously and ended the day in terror. Because this country, which so many people say is the best country in the world and they have so much patriotic pride and blah blah blah, we can't get our fucking shit together. That's it. What else do you want to talk about? I want to talk about something that's super magical. Oh, more magical than my homes? Uh-huh. Oh, OK. The menstrual cycle. Oh, I would not use the word magical. Oh, it is magical. Can I explain why? Yes. So for a week and a half out of every month, I turn into this subhuman globulus thing that like my hair, my scalp is messed up, my skin is messed up, my body changes. It's like, it's magical. It's like I created a batch of Polyjuice potion. Mm-hmm. And rather than sprinkling in like a 20-year-old beautiful virile 20 year old hair. Yeah. I added like a vial of pluff mud. Oh gross. Yes, that's a perfect description though. Seriously. Yeah. And it's like I have a whole separate wardrobe because you know, my boobs get bigger, my waist gets bigger, my feet get bigger. Like those are things that you want, you're picking specific sizes. Yeah. And for a week and a half, they're not the same size. It's just so magical. It really is. You know, and then, and then just overnight it's like, Oh, Oh, okay. You transform back. Yeah. Cara Jekyll is back from the woods. And for two and a half weeks, she'll be normal and not in pain and not have a headache for two weeks. And, you know, all she shrunk back down and her shoes fit again. Yeah. And then it starts all over again. I know. It's so magical. It really is wonderful. And from month to month, it might be different. Like, you know what? I might not have to use those bigger clothes. It might be something like my teeth hurt. Yeah. My teeth or my joints are hurting really bad that month. And it's just this magical box of what the hell is going to happen this month. It's so great. Yeah. Being a woman is the best. So great. Anyway, Hey, you know what else? I have a followup to a story that you did. A story like. Like we're journalists. We're journalists. Uh, duh. Remember when you talked about lab grown diamonds? Yeah. Okay. I stumbled on an article yesterday, actually last night, um, in where, where was that fortune? Oh, I know. Not my usual reading. But when I right swiped, guess what was there? Okay. And it said that not all lab grown diamonds are created equally. Yeah. And that many come from India or China countries whose primary sources of power generation are dirty. Oh, like coal. So you got to do your homework and make sure that you use a company that shows proof of how their practices for growing diamonds are actually environmentally friendly. If that is your motivation for getting a lab grown diamond. Yeah. You want it to be more sustainable, not just cheaper, but more sustainable, better, you know, as far as mining practices and people and, you know, human rights, good information to know. And they actually named two companies who are transparent about their supply chain and use renewable energy in the production of their diamonds. Bario Neil or bario Neil, B-A-R-I-O, N-E-A-L. What do you think it is? No, in my mind I pictured B-A-R-R-Y. Oh, apostrophe N-E-A, like Barry, Mr. O'Neill. Like Irish, Irish lab-grown diamonds. Barry O'Neill. Correct, it's more like that. And Vri, V-R-A-I, all capital. V-R-A-I, okay. Both of those have been proven to be good, ethical, lab-grown diamond companies. Nice. I thought it was fascinating and I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Anytime I see something that we've talked about on the show and I see it somewhere else, I'm like, Oh my gosh, we talked about that. I get really excited. Your phone is listening to us. It's true. Definitely. I said something yesterday about. Well, I'm off on Monday and I said to Sean this three day weekend, buddy, I'm getting some things cleaned up at this house. Cause you know, we're bringing more crap and it's starting to pile up my friend and I can't stand it. So I said something about getting organized, getting cleaned. My phone, uh, like on Instagram, it's telling me like about the container store and like I get, I'm getting all these ever. I'm like, you quit listening to my phone. It's none of your business what I'm doing. Yeah. I know what I'm doing phone, back off. Yeah, super helpful, thank you. OK, so we're not here to rain on people's Super Bowl parade. Especially when it comes to people's sweet, sweet lab groan bling. And we're not here to give organizing tips. Or to complain about the magicalness of. The menstrual cycle. What are we here for? Oh, we are here to talk about our internet search histories for the week. Oh, can we do that by starting with The Reading of the Lists? 100%. Let's do it. Oh, my gosh. It is my week to start. It's it's WW. Weirdo week. Also, it is episode 27. Yeah. And it will be airing on February 27th. I know my head exploded too when I made that connection. Anyway, here we go. My list this week of top five most interesting, funniest, most successful searches is symptoms of diverticulitis. Mahomes never underdogs meme. 3. Make stickers from photos on Pixel phone. 4. Royal Murder Mysteries TV series. 5. Colin Firth white shirt auction. I knew that would get you... Is that my birthday present? I have a plan. You'll have to wait and see. Alright. Okay. What about your list? Alright, here we go. Number one. I only have four this week. Again, I'm really sorry. I almost only had four, but I really, I, I did five short ones. I was going to have to shh. I was going to have to force it and that's not how this works. As we pointed out last week. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So number one, when did the first Dunkin donuts open? Number two, traveling through the channel. Number three, what is bubble and squeak? Number four, Uncle Sam history. Oh. I want you. That's right. We're now going to play a little game we like to call... Search Me! Where? We each pose one question to each other and see if we can answer based only on The Reading of the Lists. And we win some pretty sweet prizes. That is right. In the process. Yes. I devoured those fancy cakes like you would not believe. And Sean was jealous. Um, same? He said no words. But he watched me eat them. Look at dog watches you eat. I ate my Dunkin Donuts chocolates in private. Were they good? They're delicious. I ate all but three. Oh, yeah. There probably weren't a lot in that package though. Too many to eat in one sitting, okay. No, I showed some restraint and left three. one of each flavor and it's on my desk. I saw them in your picture you posted. Yes. And I had to zoom in because I was like, I thought they were little figurines, like action figures. Oh, yes. And so then I zoomed in and I was like, those are our candies. She has lined up. I have the only three left. So what did they taste like? The strawberry ones were the best ones. So what was the inside like? Was it like a truffle? It was like a truffle. Yeah. It was like a creamy, nougat-y kind of center. They were all delicious, but the strawberry ones were my favorite. Okay. Okay, Cara, today you are playing for... Yes? This DVD. Yes. Of Colette. I've always wanted to see this movie. Have you really? Yeah. I found this at the Dollar Tree today. A buck 25. Oh, what does that say? Certified fresh rotten tomatoes? Yep. Excellent. It stars Keira Knightley and Dominic West. Shut the front door. I know. After marrying a successful Parisian writer known commonly as Willie, Dominic West, actor. Sidonie Gabrielle Collette, Keira Knightley, is transplanted from her childhood home in rural France to the intellectual and artistic splendor of Paris. Soon after, Willie convinces Collette to ghostwrite for him. What does this sound like? That sounds like... Does it sound like a book I wrote? It sure does. Except it's... flip-flopped. Oh, it sounds like let's be frank. Yes. Let's Be Frank. Mm-hmm. The first thing that popped into my mind was that movie Big Eyes. Big Eyes? Yeah, with Amy Adams. What? You have not seen Big Eyes? I've never heard of this movie. Girl. watch big eyes you will love it. Okay. Essentially she is painting all these really cool paintings. They're weird but I think it's her husband. It's been a long time since I've seen it. It's taking credit for them. What a dick. Yeah you should watch it. It's so good. Okay cool. Okay and everybody um buy my book. Let's Be Frank. Yeah it's good. It's good. I am it's hilarious. You know what can I tell you a quick Keira Knightley fun fact that I learned this week? I look quite pretty. Yeah. She was, did you watch the first Star Wars movies, like episodes one, two, three? Yes. That everyone hates? Yes. And they curse George Lucas for? Natalie Portman. Yes. Keira Knightley was her body double in that movie. So remember when they flip-flopped and like? For Queen Amidala and Padme? Yes. I didn't know she was... I'm kind of impressed that you know that you hate that kind of stuff. I really do not like it, but my the rest of my family loves it. So I'm in the minority. So she was the body double. I never put that together. That makes so much sense because I get them confused all the time. I do the same thing. Keira Knightley was 13 years old when she did that. Holy crap. I mean, first of all, that tells you how long ago those movies were. Yeah. And second of all, how old you and I are. Anyway, that was my fun fact. Okay. I love it. Let's hear my question. Okay. Here's your question. Which search resulted in me staying up way too late last night with the kids trying and probably failing to laugh quietly. So we didn't wake up Clint who had to be at work at 3 30 AM. Oh my God. That is. Isn't that how is he doing that? He's he's actually really liking that job. I know the answer to this question I am that movies going home with me is it number three make stickers from photos on pixel phone I'll have to post some of these stickers on Instagram because and whatever social media whatever because they are so Ridiculous, dude when I learned I could do that on my phone Same thing happened ours stayed up late laughing my ass off just scrolling through all my pictures on my phone like what else can I make a picture of what else and then the kids and I we had a text we have a text chain yeah or I do that just says kiddos and it's my two kids who still live with me and me okay that's it that's fun And I just use it basically to nag them usually like, please clean your bathroom this weekend. So it's not a fun like, mom loves you. It's really not usually. Have a great day. Nope. It's I don't feel like walking my ass upstairs to tell you get out of bed. And then do they use it? Or is it just you? Not as much. Usually they just text me individually, but I use it. to talk to both of them simultaneously. I made a sticker of Jasper on the stairs, like the stair basket, and that kind of kicked it off for me making stickers. And then I was trying to, I searched this to see if there was a way I could make stickers without it being in a text thread, because I can't just pull up the photo and make a sticker of the photo. I have to be in a text and I have to use the... button like where you would insert an emoji or a GIF or a meme. Yeah. Yeah. And one of the suggestions is sticker, right? And then I can make a sticker out of anything, but it has to be inside that that's the only way I can access it is there. And I was like, that's, that can't be right. Yeah. I'm just being an old lady. Yes. So that's why I Googled it. Okay. I am right. I am not just an old lady. That is the only way you can do it. Apple phone is different. Now, maybe on later models of the Pixel, you can, but I have a 7A or 7... I don't remember which one I have. I can't remember. It's a number, so forget it. So then Peyton showed me, which angle to hold your phone to take ridiculous big forehead selfies. Have you seen these? No. And then we made stickers of those and I was crying. I was crying and I was trying so hard not to pee my pants because I had to laugh quietly. So I'm like shaking on the couch. I'm just going to show you one. Okay, I'm excited. Actually, I'm going to show you all of them because it's going to be in the thread. All right, start with the Jackie one and just scroll down. Oh, aren't those insane? That is not a filter. It's just holding your phone like flat against your forehead. This one is a riot. That doesn't even look like. I know it doesn't look like, like people. We had so much fun with that. And then Peyton kept saying, Mom, don't you want to go to bed? And then he was trying to get rid of me. My source for that was Google. And your children. And my children. But yeah, I will post, I'll post some of those. I'll make more stickers and post them on Instagram so people can see. Yes. So much fun. Yeah, the majority of my stickers are dogs. Well, it's just hilarious how it cuts out everything else around them. And without the context of the background, Exactly. The Jasper picture cracked me up. That was a good one. Did you send that to Heather and Mike? Yes. It was so good. Yeah. It was cracking me up. Yeah, I love stickers. Okay, my movie. I'm know what I'm watching tonight. Okay. Today, you are playing for this trifecta of purple pins. and they all write purple. I love purple pens. I know. I know that you love purple, but as I was saying, I'm getting rid of stuff. I see that. And you are going to benefit. But yeah, I will never say no to office supplies. I know. I have multiples of these. So that's why I'm getting rid of it. Oh my. This one right here, this is a paper mate. I don't know if you like really fine or if you like medium points. I like a medium point depending on what I'm using it for. I do, I'm excited the same way actually. If I have to write really little on something, like when I do crossword puzzles or logic puzzles and you have to write. inside a table or inside grids or whatever. I like a fine point because you can really write neatly. Exactly. Well this is a variety. So excellent. This one here is a 5. 5. Yeah. This one here is a 1. 0. Geez. And this baby right here is a felt tip. Oh I love felt tips. So. Whole variety for you. Great. If you answer this question correctly. I hope I win. Oh, ready. Which of my searches came about because Sean and I have started watching a new to us British murder mystery tv show Have you now? I've gotten Sean looped in I think I know what it is. I'm sure that you do traveling through the tunnel. That's right Because you are watching the tunnel the tunnel, which is an amazing channel. It's so good Last night we finished season one. Hot Thomas Jefferson. Okay. I had a Brea Dominic West moment last night. Did you? Yes. We've been watching this for weeks. Oh, have you? And last night I was like, man, this guy is so good. I... He is such... Who is this Stephen Delaney? So I looked him up and I was like HAHAHAHA What I saw When I realized who this was, I paused the television and I said, Sean, good grief. I said, this is Stanis Baratheon. I said, this is Thomas Jefferson. Yes. I said, he's one of the 50 British actors. Correct. He's, I could not believe that I had watched like seven or eight episodes of this hour long show. Yeah. And it didn't click with me that that was Thomas Jefferson. You know what I can't believe? What? That you didn't immediately text me so we could laugh together about this. Well, I started to, but it was really late. But now I know you were up doing stickers, I would have, you would have been awake. And not just that, but once I'm asleep, I don't hear my texts. I know, but still, I just, I don't know that for a fact. I never do, never. So. Cause I got my earplugs in. Yes. Oh my gosh, that is hilarious. I wish there had been a video of me realizing who that guy was. I felt like the biggest idiot. He's an excellent actor. He is. And he is a cutie patootie. He's so good. And she is so good. Oh, so we were in episode one of that and I was like, man, I know her little face. How do I know her little face in that little mouth? And so I had to look her up because I couldn't place it and I was like, oh my gosh. Fleur. It's Fleur. Look away, Bill, I'm hideous. Anyway, she's got a lot of good sound bites from Harry Potter. She does. These are your pins. Congratulations. All right. I love purple. I looked this up because we've watched like seven or eight episodes of this and in my brain I'm thinking that it takes like two and a half hours to get through the channel. Mm-hmm. It does not. No. So I've got a little bit of information about how to travel through this thing. I'm excited. There are two different trains that go through the tunnel and they're operated by two different companies. You can travel by car or other means of transportation, like just anything on wheels, essentially, um, through the Euro tunnel. Le shuttle. Yes. Uh, but you can't purchase tickets for that train as a pedestrian. If you're going to travel on foot, you take the Euro star. On the other one, you drive your car into the train and then you just sit in there. And it's like a ferry. Yeah, it is. So then the trains run on the same track, but the boarding points are different. Um, for Le Shuttle, you can enter the train at. Kent, essentially, in England, or Calais on the France side. If you board as a pedestrian, you can board in London, Paris, Lille, Lille? Lille? Lille? Brussels, Rotterdam, or Amsterdam. Oh. For the Euro tunnel Le Shuttle, I'm just gonna keep saying it like that. I love it. You can enter the train by car, motorcycle, camper, and even a bicycle. Excellent. Ah! Now, the Le Shuttle is the fastest connection between France and the UK if you travel with a car or other vehicle. The duration of the entire trip while you're traveling is 35 minutes. That's it. That is it. It's like 31 miles. I did not realize how close because I'm a geography dummy. I don't know anything about geography. Peyton would get so mad at me if we talked about geography together. He would love to teach you. Well, he could teach me basically everything. Now, it takes time to get everyone loaded up. So load up time and wait time before you begin your travel is about an hour. So you've got about an hour and a half total travel time for beginning to end. Now, if you can't stand. the thought of being in a concrete tube, like how many feet? 246 feet below sea level. If that bothers you a little bit. With water all around you? Imagine the force of the water. I don't even, when I was doing all this research, I found an article where it broke down halfway through and they had to pull people out of it and they had to like evacuate them on foot. No, thank you. Oh. My gosh. Anyway, there is a ferry option. Correct. It takes much longer to travel by ferry and you have to be at the ferry at least 90 minutes before it leaves. Oh wow. So it's a very long process to take the ferry, but you know, you plan your time wisely. You can do it. So all in all, it's faster to travel under the ocean through the concrete tube. I don't know if I could do it. I am claustrophobic just thinking about it. Well, just watching that show and knowing that they're inside that tunnel so much. You would just have to, I would just have to disconnect my thinking from that. Like, don't think about it. Cause even like when we drive down to Gulf Shores and you have to go through that tunnel that goes under, is that mobile that you go through and there's a tunnel? Yeah. That freaks my shit out. We drive around that. We take the industrial road. Oh my gosh. That all the trucks are on, so we don't have to go through that tunnel. We do that on purpose. We take the tunnel because the kids love it. Ugh, no. But I always think of Princess Diana. Absolutely. Yes, I always think of car wrecks happening in there. And I think if one person is being a dumbass while we're driving, 60 miles an hour through this tube We are all fucked. Yep That's exactly right and how many dumbasses are there in this world behind the wheel of card wheels of cars so many So yeah, it really freaked me out My sources for that were very gogo. com and euro star. com. I love it. Now. How long does the euro star take? It's the same. It's the same because it's on the same tracks as the same type of vehicle. But load up time is less because there are multiple places where you can board. Correct. So you're just a person on foot. You're waiting for it to stop. It's like a subway. Essentially you're basically on the tube. Exactly. Yeah. So yeah, it's, it's the same amount of time. Um, I guess add in some stops here and there. So if you don't really need a car where you're going, it makes a lot more sense. just to leave your car on one end or the other for the Euro star and just be shot through like one of those tubes at the bank. Yes. That's exactly right. It's kind of like a hamster tube too. Oh yeah. Or the vacuum tubes in Elf where he's down in the basement. The mail. Very sucky. The mail. Oh, it's sucky. Okay, that's awesome. I want to, I kind of want to do it. I just have to take some valium. Yes, I would like to do it too. Even though there's nothing to see, you just get in there and you're just in a closed space for half an hour. Just eat half a gummy, you'll be fine. By the way, I had a dream last night that I ate a whole gummy. but it was like ginormous. Oh no. I'm using my fingers to show Cara about an inch and a half. Don't ever eat a gummy that large, you will regret it. Oh my gosh. And after I did it, you were like, why did you do that? Yes. Dream Cara was correct. Yes, and I was like, what? And then I went to some burrito place and I ate a bunch of burritos. I had the munchies. And I was trying to hide from everybody that I was high. See, if I ate a gummy that big, it wouldn't be munchies. It would be me on the floor going, oh no, oh no, oh no, make it stop, make it stop. Because you'd be spinning. Bad trip. Yes. I just can't do that much. This week at work, I've got a giant bag of gummies. Gummies at work? Well, gummy lifesavers. And so I was walking down to the second floor, and I was eating them while I was talking to people. what what have you got there? And I said these are lifesavers. This is not what you think it is. I said I will and so I offered one to him. He's like I'm not gonna eat that out of your nasty hand. Fair enough. Fair enough. But so then I took the whole handful and I just shoved them in my mouth to prove that they weren't, you know. Wouldn't they? I wouldn't get anything done. Oh man. All right then. It's shared history time. Yes, it is. And we're just going to share some internet search histories with you, our DTH besties. OK, my first one that I'm going to talk about. Let's hear it. Is Royal Murder Mysteries TV series. This is a series that started in 2017. And I don't think they've made any more seasons since then. It did not get good reviews. I thoroughly enjoyed this show, however. Okay. Experts in the fields of pathology and forensics try to piece together what may have happened in crimes involving royal family members from around the world and throughout history. That's interesting. It's very interesting. Some of the royal deaths discussed include the Romanovs. Oh. King. Ludwig the second of Bavaria. I don't know who that is. Also sometimes called the Mad King. He built this really cool castle and it's the castle that Walt Disney based the Cinderella castle off of. Albert Victor, grandson of Queen Victoria, who was heir to the throne, but he died young and he was also briefly a suspect in the Jack the Ripper cases. You're kidding. I'm not kidding. very interesting. Oh yeah. So they talked about like his alibis and he could not have been Jack the Ripper. Okay. Spoiler alert. Oh goodness. King George the fifth who was basically euthanized by his doctor. Oh whoa. Yeah. Is he also known as the Mad King? No. Wasn't there a King George that was Why was he basically euthanized? Well, he had had lung problems. He was a smoker. So he had chronic lung problems and disease. And he was very, very sick. And he was in a lot of pain at the end of his life. And they think that his doctor, without really his consent, put him out of his misery, basically. Whoa. It's pretty well known that he, he gave him basically an overdose of cocaine and morphine. This isn't Bertie, is it? Bertie's dad. Okay. Michael Gambon. In other words, for those of you who have seen the King's speech, Michael Gambon was killed with morphine and cocaine. Did you know that's who I was picturing? It's, it is a fascinating show. There's a lot of speculation in it with some of these journalists and investigators, but there's also a lot of research and some legit stuff. Tell us the name of that show again. It is Royal Murder Mysteries. What platform did you watch that? I watched it on Britbox. Of course. That is my source. Sounds fascinating. In fact, it's Britbox. Okay, yeah, yeah. Very cool. Well, we're going to stay in the British vein. Excellent. And we're going to talk about Bubble and Squeak. I love it. Bubble and Squeak is a fried British dish made with potatoes and cabbage. It often contains meat, ham or bacon traditionally, and it's often made on a Monday with leftovers from Sunday's dinner or on Boxing Day with leftovers from the Christmas feast. Lots of people will add a fried egg to the top of it. Oh. Perhaps adding a little more Bubble. Protein. There are no hard and fast rules with bubble and squeak. No. Just like basically all you gotta have is mashed potatoes. And then you just throw all your other crap in there to make a delicious meal. The potatoes are kind of like the glue that holds everything together. The Irish have a similar dish called coal cannon. The Scots similar dish is called. Hang on, I can say this without laughing. Rumble-dee-thumps. You've had a herkle-derkle and then you get up and you make some rubble-dee-thumps from your leftovers. Oh Scottish people you're amazing. I'm gonna live with you. The name Bubble and Squeak supposedly comes from the sound the dish makes while it's cooking. Now I thought maybe... and this made me think of you when I thought of it, is that maybe the squeak comes from the sound the cabbage makes on your teeth when you eat it. Because I know that bothers you. But that is raw cabbage, the squeak comes about. Cooked cabbage, I guess maybe doesn't do that as much. I haven't had much cooked cabbage in my life. I love it. Especially if you make it really unhealthy with butter and salt and a little bit of balsamic vinegar. It is delicious. Well this bubble and squeak you have to add a lot of butter to it. It's like I looked up a couple of recipes for it. A lot of people will take it and put all this stuff together and then they fry the whole thing. Some people just put it together and they like throw in cabbage like they cook the cabbage or even kale. Oh, yeah. It's like separately and so they cook all that in a pot and then they have their mashed potatoes and they mix all of that together and they don't fry it. but then they put a huge lump of butter in the middle. Like they create a well. Yes, like you would with mashed, you know, right gravy and mashed potatoes. Like smart people do. And then you just throw a whole bunch of butter in the middle of it. And so then you like, you like get a little fork full of potatoes and then you dip it in that butter and then you eat it. Like I researched this probably way too much, but I want to make this. Yeah. So I think I'm gonna make it. It'll be good. It's gonna be delicious. What kind of meat would you put in it? I was thinking bacon. Bacon would be delicious with it. Because, I mean, you think about like a twice baked potato, which I like a twice baked potato. And bacon and cheese are probably, bacon is probably my favorite on a twice baked potato. Yeah. Nom. My sources for that were thesprouseats. com and simplyrecipes. com. Okay, and that made me hungry. Me too. Nummy, nummy. What's your next one? Oh, well, this will make you really not hungry. Oh, this will kill that. Are you ready? Yup. Symptoms of diverticulitis. Oh, yay. I had a tiny stomach back pain flare up this week. Oh crap. Yeah. And I'm sure it had something to do with like the crap I ate at the Superbowl party, lots of meat and greasy stuff and potatoes and oh my gosh, these. pretzel bite things that Brianne made. I've got to get the recipe. They were so delicious. Anyway, lots of bread, lots of meat, lots of fatty stuff. I mean, just junk. Right, I mean, super bowl food. And then also stress, I'm sure, was part of it. And coughing a lot, probably did not help things. So I started to wonder if maybe when I'm suffering from is diverticulitis. Then I thought what the heck even is that? It sounds like something you get from like scuba diving. Diverticulitis like the bends or something. It's not. For those who don't know, here's what it is and here are the symptoms. Diverticula are small bulging pouches that can form in the lining of your digestive system. And they're found most often in the lower part of the digestive system or the colon. They're common in people older than 40, but seldom cause problems. So a lot of people have diverticula. They don't know because they just kind of hang out down there. Don't cause any issues. But when you have these, it's called diverticulosis. So even if they're what we might call dormant or just kind of hanging out, it's diverticulosis. When they become inflamed, it's called diverticulitis, and that causes severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and nasty poo-poos. To use mom language. Now mild cases can be treated with rest antibiotics and dietary changes. Severe or recurring cases may require surgery. I don't think I have this. First of all, They did so many tests on me last year when I had those issues. I think they would have found it. Maybe. I think, but whatever. Second, I don't want it to be this. So that's why I don't think it is. And I'm too young just kidding next time I see my doctor though I may mention it just in case because I do have a lot of the risk factors which are over 40 mm-hmm overweight mm-hmm under exercised and Then there were some that I don't have I don't have some other risk factors And I never have a fever with this, but I do have nausea Because it hurts so bad And it's weird that it wraps around to my back. Yes. That's the part that is always like, doesn't fit anything. But anyway, it went away without me having to do anything. It was just kind of like, I went to bed and I kind of felt it coming on. And I was like, oh, you've got to be getting me. That's just what I need. And then the next morning I was just super tired and just felt like crap. Oh, that sucks. Because I didn't sleep well. Because I was worried about it. Right. Sources were the Mayo Clinic. My dad had to have surgery for that. For diverticulitis. See, my mom had it, and she was told it was from eating things like with seeds or whatever. And the Mayo Clinic says that that is a fallacy. Yeah, I don't know that they, I've heard that too, actually. That it's a seed or nut problem or something like that. Yeah, they get stuck in the folds of your colon. I don't remember if they ever. Came up see he well hate to give away too much of his health information But he had to have surgery for it. They couldn't figure he in fact he was in a hospital for a week Before they figured out that this was the problem and they the only way they figured it out was they said we're just gonna have To do exploratory surgery And so that's how they found it and they're like, oh that there it is I mean they knew as soon as I had him opened up It's easy to say because I haven't done it yet, but get your colon screenings That's how they find stuff like that. I know. Yeah. I haven't found that yet, but, and I ain't looking forward to it. Me neither. I may put that off until I'm on the floor and then I just, in the ambulance, just do it while I'm in the ambulance. You know, you gotta die from something. That's right. If colon cancer is my waterloo, that's fine. All right, what is your next search? We're going to pivot back to food. Oh, good. When did the first Dunkin' Donuts open? I don't even know why I searched this. I think I had Dunkin' on the brain because of your candy. And I was driving around town running errands. Yeah. And one of these days, dang it, I'm going to go to Dunkin Donuts. Still haven't done it. Girl. Never been there. What about the commercial in the Superbowl? Did you enjoy that? Did you see the Dun King's commercial? I, in fact, I muted it. So I was like, I'm embarrassed for you guys. This is embarrassing. It was hilarious. I, I could, no, I didn't watch it. It's even popped up onto my Instagram feed and I was like, nope. I giggled quite a bit. So the first Dunkin' Donuts was opened. Can you guess, Brea, what state this might have opened in? Cause Massachusetts, that's right. It's kind of a thing over there on the East coast. They love their Dunkin' Donuts. Which was kind of one of the jokes behind that commercial. Okay. It was 1948. Picture it. Quincy, Massachusetts, 1948. William Rosenberg decides he wants to open a store that contains coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. He called it Open Kettle. Okay. I'm along for the ride. Two years later, Open Kettle was renamed and Dunkin' Donuts was officially born. Four years after that, Rosenberg opened five locations of Dunkin' Donuts. And then the rest is history. It just took off from there. Delicious history. Dunkin' Donuts. The original Dunkin' Donuts store still stands and is operational today. Oh, wow. It's gotten a little facelift. And so it harkens back to the retro 50s honoring the birth of Dunkin' Donuts. I have a few fun facts about Dunkin' Donuts if you're interested. They sell around 60 cups of coffee every second. Oh. On average, 2,000 coffee beans go into making one pound of Dunkin' Donuts coffee. 2,000 coffee beans, one pound of coffee. There are Dunkin' Donuts coffee experts that taste an average of 200 cups of coffee per day. Not each person. Collectively. Right. Dunkin' Donuts creates special donuts that reflect the local cuisine and culture for countries where it operates. In Singapore, you can get a wasabi cheese donut, and a seaweed cheese donut. In some Asian countries, you can get mochi donuts. And I looked at Moki. It's like a rice cake kind of a thing. Okay. And in China, you can get a dried pork and seaweed donut. I'd be on board to try that because I mean it is delicious. Mmm. My sources were DunkinDonuts. com and YouTube. com. I have a question. Yes, the lady in the back. Going back to the thing about the coffee experts who drink collectively 200. I saw your face change when I said that. Why? Quality control would be my assumption. But where are these people in? Like, this is their job every day? You want their job, don't you? Yeah. Me too. I sort of do. Can you imagine just testing? But then, if it's your job? No, no. I think that would be amazing. I wonder what else is part of their job. You're drinking coffee anyway, so... You can't. That can't just be what they do. Read that again. Okay. There are Dunkin' Donuts coffee experts that taste an average of 200 cups of coffee a day. Coffee experts. Yeah, I need that job. Yeah, her wheels are turning horrid right now. I really need that job. I also, let's just make it happen. Okay. We'll call Duncan and say, we are available and we are really good at drinking coffee. We are highly motivated. And we're actually experts already. Right. I can tell you what coffee is crap. Correct. I make it often. I feel like I need to get to Dunkin'. Now I've done all this research. I'm just feeling, and you've said that strawberry frosted flavor. My mouth is watering right now, literally. I could go for a strawberry flavored donut. Oh yeah. Dunkin' is my favorite donut. Okay. In this town. Man. Now St. George's is my favorite. Oh man, I can't believe you don't like St. George's. I just love Dunkin Donuts. When we got them here, I was so excited because it's not a thing here. It wasn't a thing here until very recently. Right, right. But I grew up on Dunkin Donuts in Kentucky. East coast. We had, well, east coast. East side of the country, I guess I should say. East of the Mississippi. You're not on the east coast. East of the Mississippi River. I told you I didn't know anything about geography. I know what you mean though. Thank you. Um, because it is true. Like once you hit that Mississippi river, things change. It is definitely different. I grew up on Dunkin Donuts and at church we always had Dunkin Donuts, you know, for fellowship in the fellowship hall and we had the munchkins, the little donut holes. And I mean, you cannot believe how excited I was when we finally got Dunkin Donuts in this town. Okay, so if I go to Dunkin' Donuts for the first time, what is your recommendation for me to purchase? Okay, any of their filled donuts are delicious. Okay. So I do love the Boston Cream. That's why I thought I would like that Boston Cream candy the most, because that's my fave. Okay. But they also have just like cream filled donuts. Boston Cream is custard. Okay. Like vanilla custard in the middle, and then they've got cream filled donuts, and then they've got jelly-filled donuts. I love jelly-filled donuts. But I love, love, love a maple donut. A maple cake donut and a maple glaze donut. Either one. All of those things I don't like. I don't like filled donuts and I don't like maple flavor stuff. You will like their blueberry cake donuts. Okay, now you're talking my language. And you'll like their strawberry cake donuts. Okay. You'll like the stuff that Peyton likes. No, I'm not saying I'm not willing to try those, but that wouldn't, if I showed up without talking to you about it, I would not choose a filled donut. I just don't like them. Oh my goodness. I'm a cake donut girl. Yeah, they're good. My next search is the one you've all been waiting for. Colin Firth white shirt auction. The Mr. Darcy wet white shirt that Colin Firth wore in the superior Pride and Prejudice adaptation from 1995 by the BBC is going up for auction March, 2024. This is the iconic scene that never happens in the book, by the way. Right. In which Mr. Darcy takes a refreshing dip in the pond after a long ride home on his horse. And he comes out dripping wet and runs across none other than Lizzie Bennett while wearing his see-through shirt. You want to guess how much it's expected to fetch Cara? Do I have to guess in US dollars or? Either one. Okay. Because I did the conversion. Oh, thank you. $1 million. Oh, no, no, no, no. Okay. $65,000. Nope. $25,000. Lower. $1,000. Higher. $15,000. You're close. It's expected to bring between 7,000 and 10,000 pounds, which is approximately $8,800 to $12,600. I really shot high. That's for a shirt. That shows you how much I really Yeah, you value this. I value it. Yeah. I mean, I would be willing to pay a million dollars for it. I mean, I feel like you and I could raise $8,800 to $13,000 on GoFundMe. Let's do it. Hey, everybody. This is a very important thing. Right. Serious. Like, I don't know, pay for my cancer treatments or anything like that. No! On GoFundMe, I just want Mr. Darcy's white shirt. Yeah. Absolutely. Why is this so... I feel like if we win that, he would maybe... We'd be so many degrees closer to him. Oh yeah. Who's putting it up for auction? Okay. Is it Sotheby's? I don't know, it didn't say which auction house. Okay. But it's one of more than 60 period drama costumes being auctioned off in London next month. This collection also includes dresses worn by Drew Barrymore and Helena Bonham Carter. Eww. That's fun. I read about this in The Guardian. Oh yes. Does the shirt come wet? No, but I know a really easy way you can recreate. Has it been washed since he wore it? Oh, problem. I have a lot of questions before I plunk down my money. I don't know. All right. That's why we just have to go to London and scope it out. You're right. So we're gonna need about probably 20,000 bucks because we need travel expenses, all that good stuff. Exactly, yeah, okay, let's make it happen. Okay, go fund me people. Yes. Somebody start that, Alex J, you're a go-getter. That's right. Alex J. will take you with us if you can raise enough funds. My next search is the history of Uncle Sam. I have to tell you why I searched those because it's embarrassing and it's also funny. I was going to create a sign to put on our refrigerator at work, the break room refrigerator that is shared by multiple departments. President's Day is coming up. Yes. Okay. So I was going to put the sign on the refrigerator door and I got my people confused and so I was going to make a sign, what I thought was a president, but it's actually uncle Sam pointing and I was going to put on there, the presidents want you to clean out the refrigerator before the holiday weekend or something stupid like that. But then I started to make it. I was like, what? So thank goodness my brain woke up and engaged and said, hey dummy, no, don't put that sign up. Someone's gonna, it's not right. So then I was like, well, forget it. And I ended up not putting the sign up because I couldn't come up with a thing clever for President's Day. I mean, George Washington's birthday, boring. Well, you could say like... I cannot tell a lie, this refrigerator is disgusting. And it is. Anyway, I bailed on the sign and instead looked up the history of Uncle Sam. which actually was, it's pretty interesting. Is it now? Yes, it's short, but it's interesting. I'm ready. The origins, there is some dispute about it, but I looked up multiple sources and all of the sources agreed. Okay. Okay, so they believe, most historians believe that it came from a merchant who worked in Troy, New York, and he was supplying barreled meat. to the US government during the War of 1812. His name was Sam Wilson. So the barrels were stamped US to show that they were going to the government and then that's where they should be delivered. And all the workers in the warehouse started saying that it stood for Uncle Sam, because Sam Wilson owned the company and he was their boss. And so supposedly a local newspaper heard about that. And it just took off from there. I mean, how crazy is that? So then eventually people started associating Uncle Sam with the government. Yes. And it just kind of stuck. And then during the 1860s and 70s, it was still a thing. And a political cartoonist by the name of Thomas Mast began popularizing the image that we know today as Uncle Sam with the white beard and the tall hat. Kind of looks like. Abe Lincoln a little bit. And so it just kind of morphed and became that representation of the US government. Huh. Side note, Thomas Mast also created the image we all recognize as Santa Claus. He characterized him as the fat jolly elf with the big white beard. Yeah. And then he also came up with the donkey and elephant symbols for the Democratic and Republican political parties. And then James Montgomery Flagg created the famous World War I poster with Uncle Sam pointing at audiences saying, I want you for the U. S. Army. Okay. That's how it all came about. Isn't that so funny how something so small? Yeah. U S uncle Sam. My sources were YouTube, Britannica. com and national geographic. That was actually my last search. I know it was. I have one left. Let's hear it. And it is Mahomes never underdogs name. Okay. I know you all are so sick of this and blah, blah, blah, but too bad. You can have your own podcast and talk about things that I don't care about. I watched a ton of post game coverage and interviews this past week, especially like Monday through Wednesday. Okay. Then I was kind of done with it. Like I've rewatched the overtime and everything. That's right. She texted me and said, Clinton, I rewatched the overtime. And I got nervous again. Like a dummy. It was less nerve-racking, but I still was nervous. Oh, that's so funny. Anyway, there's this part where Mahomes is being interviewed and Jim Nance, the announcer, asks him, you know, what do you want people to know or something like that. And Mahomes says something to the effect of the Chiefs are never underdogs. But the funny thing is the way he says it and his laugh at the end. I just keep listening to this on a loop whenever I get down and it makes me smile. It's hard to hear it there. I can't hear the laugh. He goes, just know the Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs. Hehe So I searched that a lot this week. How did you like Travis Kelce's Viva Las Vegas? I could feel Taylor cringing. I was just like, Travis, stop it. My sources were CBS Sports and TikTok. For that little sound bite. Excellent. I just love it. Hey. What? What about this one? This is a quick listing of our other searches from the past week that we didn't have time to discuss or they were just too damn boring. So boring. Yeah. I only have four. Oh, let's hear it. Jackfruit slash chickoo fruit slash fruit sugars. Number two, Superbowl parade, Kansas city. Not boring. Number three, Kahoot. And. Springfield school school board member paddling I Looked that up. Oh, yes, cuz that guy can go fuck himself. Yeah. All right here are mine lyrics to Africa by Toto I Do too and I was Belting it out in the car and I was like, I don't know what these words are I think I know I learned that I've been singing some of those lyrics incorrectly for years and years. What were you singing wrong? I thought they were saying to do. And it turns out they were just going, Ooh, yeah. And then it makes less sense. It made more sense to me. Yeah. Your brain was filling in the blanks because it totally did. And trying to make it make sense, but it doesn't really make sense. I didn't know they were saying I blessed the rains down in Africa. Yeah. Yeah, I learned a lot of things. I was like, all right, well, now I can sing it better, I guess. Now you know and knowing is half the battle. Okay. All right. Um, actor Steven Delaine, mini fig Springfield, Missouri. I was trying to get Sean trying to tell him where it was. Library station hours, basic smoothie recipe, uh, Grove Spa. When did the first Starbucks open? Uh, shoe tree listening room, Springfield, Missouri, Super Bowl parade shooting, um, Springfield public schools ends project graduation and Egyptian dog breeds. Do you have any listener shout outs this week? I have lots. Oh, great. I do. I actually have a list. Oh my goodness. From my sister, Colleen. She sent us this. I think it was. Facebook Messenger. Okay. Straight from across the pond. This was her actual list for the week of February 5th. Okay. Just so you know, just put it in context. She says, hi ladies. Oh she thinks we're ladies. That's sweet. My history for the week of 5-Fib. She is so British. Very, very. Prince William's girlfriends at University. A few. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, she puts the answers in parentheses afterwards, which is so cute. Okay. Densest timbers in the world. Black ironwood most efficient flame color with a U color in terms of energy. What do you think? Blue. You're correct. And last but definitely not least. Difference in appearance between rat and mouse poop. Oh No, oh no, does she have so I said, whoa, those are some interesting ones I'm scared about why you had to search that last one and she replied. Yes, we have a problem So before everybody gets all like judgy or thinks my sister is disgusting and dirty Her husband's family owns a really cute country cottage in England, which is really still a massive house. They used to run it as a B&B. And it has a thatched roof. And critters love to nest in thatched roofs. So, and no, I have not had the time or money to visit there yet, and it pains my heart. And mostly because I miss my sissy. Of course. But. Also because it's a freaking English country cottage and my sister lives near a freaking English village with cobblestones and shit. And I'm stuck in Missouri, but whatever. I'm chill about it. Yeah, you appear to be. Um, Colleen, please give us a rat slash mouse update when you find out. Oh yeah. I'm thinking when she said, yes, we have a problem that it's probably rats. Oh man. Who knows? I'm speculating. Okay. But anyway, and then also we got some recent laughs and feedback on social media from Alex J. Yes. Cooper Trooper. Oh. Laura Galel. I hope I'm saying that right, Laura Galel. About my horrifying, overflowing men's toilet. Oh yes. Story. You know what? I did hear from Martha. Martha D and she was asking you if you still knew the person that drove you home on the trash bags with the windows down. Yes I do. She lives in Florida now and she's a dear dear friend. Oh man. I mean that'll bond you for life. Forever! Yeah. I'm in her debt for forever. Yeah, you really are. Yeah. Tanya, I love you. And then lots of you have tried kombucha. Ah, with varying outcomes. That is true. I did see some feedback on the kombucha. Hopefully no overflowing toilets, but Alex J's outcome required a trip to the hospital. Yes, I saw that. So that's bad. Well, and I'm just here to tell you guys I'm I've. I've moved on from kombucha. I've now had two really horrible ones and I'm just done. You're done. Okay. Good. Because it ain't worth it, is it? It's just gross. The first one was so good. Just drink some Jesus juice, aka water. I have been slamming the Jesus juice this week. Good girl. Slamming it. Okay. I also saw, oh I'm sorry, you go ahead. No, you go. I also saw maybe two or three questions asking about... the mystery can. Oh, people wanting to know. But by this time, they will know. So I didn't want to give it away. Yeah. I didn't want to give it away. It's coming. Uh huh. But it is already it came. It done. It done been told. So no more. No more suspense there. No. And Aaron wanted to know what Travis Kelsey smells like. Yes. Because I did post a picture. Your response was hilarious. And I doubt he smells like that. What the candle smells like. I did get a comment face to face comment from Hopper about your overflowing toilet story. She was, she was like the laughing and the simultaneous mortification. Just, it really hit home. Cooper troopers said the same thing. She said, I had all the responses that Cara had. It was laughing hysterically, then followed by just discomfort and embarrassment and all the things. I'll say the part of that story, I mean, it's mortifying, horrifying, horrendous. I applaud your bravery in telling the story. But the part that broke me was... the drive home on the trash bags with the windows down. I mean, that is what broke me. I lost it. That was Laura Gallo's favorite part too. Well, it's because I could picture it. Oh my word. The minivan. You know what? There was a detail I forgot in that story. What? When I ran into the bathroom, the first stall I went into, the toilet was already just like somebody had just destroyed it. And so it was a two-stall bathroom. It was pretty tiny. And so I was like, oh my gosh. And I was already just like. It was too late. You had to. And so then I went into the next stall. And it looked normal. And so, yeah. And then when I flushed, it was not normal. There was a problem. There was a problem in that bathroom. Faux show. Lucky you. Yeah, so anyway, I forgot that part. Oh, that's awful. The first one I went into was like, that's a no-go. I'll just go on the sink like in Pride's face. Oh, my word. Are you ready to flush this week down the toilet? As long as it goes down. Don't come back on us. You know what never comes back on you? What? Your history after you delete it. That is correct. So let's go do it. Okay, let's do it. Stay fresh, cheese bags. Bye.
