Of course the minute that we're ready to go.
Yes,
I have to burp.
I did not eat cheese,
Well I have to turn the clock on so you burp.
I ate nothing.
I Had to or this was gonna be an angry podcast.
Yeah, I did not so this will be interesting.
[Theme song]
Welcome to Episode 31 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.
Cara.
I almost died.
I haven't seen you in forever.
I know, because I almost died.
So, maybe we should explain now why people listened to a rerun last week.
Yes.
I have to thank Brea.
Thank you very much.
Aww you're welcome.
She covered for me because I almost died from a migraine, followed by another migraine, and then a cluster of migraines.
I woke up Wednesday morning with it.
I went to work.
I couldn't stay the day.
I left.
And I was down with a migraine.
and I did not feel better until like Sunday.
The migraine finally was gone by Sunday afternoon-ish, but then I felt like crap for the next two days trying to get over all that jazz.
The migraine hangover.
Yes.
And I had taken Thursday and Friday off work as vacation days to do stuff.
I was in bed.
I was in bed from Wednesday until like Saturday night.
Did you get bed sores? 
I am now recovering from those.
So, Brea, it was my week to edit and I couldn't even look at a screen.
Like, at all.
Yeah, that's miserable.
I can look at my phone.
I had to do, it was awful.
So, Brea took one for the team and she edited it all.
It was an easy one.
It was easy.
I'm glad, I’m glad.
Because there was no way it was going to happen.
So, this really should be episode 32, but it ain't.
No.
Anyway, I have such old news.
Oh, let's hear it.
Well, it's been forever, but we got a message from Colleen again, a reply to our reply.
Okay.
And she was actually laughing because we had talked about her cat, her imaginary cat.
Yes.
And I said they didn't have a cat, but I was wrong.
They have a cat? They do have a cat.
Wait a second.
If they have a cat, how do they have rats? Here.
wait till you hear this.
Okay, I'm ready.
So, she said in her message, and I'm paraphrasing, the cat's name is Pussykins.
She said she is not responsible for the name.
She had no part in the naming of the cat.
It's an amazing name.
And it takes care of birds.
and it prowls around and does that, but rats are not in its job description.
Oh my gosh.
It does not go anywhere near rats.
It's like Garfield.
So, Pussykins is like, sorry, you're on your own with the rats.
I don't do rats.
So, she needs another cat.
Right.
Pussykins two.
She needs the rat killer, sir Earl Grey Meows a Lot.
She does.
To take care of her rats.
I think Earl would get the job taken care of.
Earl.
I also posted this past week, which will be a long time ago for people, but I saw my whistlepig friend
this week at work.
Are you serious? My work whistle pig.
He's back.
And our home whistle pig, which I call our home ground hog.
Yes.
It's more alliterative, sort of.
Our home hog.
He is back.
It's springtime.
Yep.
They're all out.
And yeah.
That's exciting.
But I don't remember the name of my, of either one.
I was just trying to think of them.
We came up with names.
Was it Fred? I think my work whistle pig was Fred or Frank or something like that.
Anyway, so Pussykins, Whistle Pigs, we got all kinds of wildlife.
I'm disappointed in Colleen’s cat.
I know.
Get on it.
You know how cats are though.
They don't want to do it.
They ain't gonna do it.
That is very true.
So, she needs to somehow trick that cat into chasing rats.
Like, yeah, just making it think that I like this.
Or essential oils on the cat, as we discussed.
Yes.
Okay, she won't chase the rats, then rub that cat down.
That's right, peppermint cat.
Yes.
Peppermint pussykins.
Yes.
Oh, it’s perfect!
Oh my word.
My big brother came to visit.
And we had a really nice visit.
Nice.
Ate some pizza, talked, laughed about the old days.
Yeah.
Because we're all that age now.
Right.
That's all we do is just reminisce.
And my kids love it.
They think it's just hilarious.
They love hearing all the stories.
It was a really good visit.
Nice.
I will say, one of Sean's and my friends has moved back to Springfield.
And we're very excited about it.
Oh, that's right.
He's gotten moved in and we've already got like, he's planning like a guys lake weekend in June.
We've got a Mahjong tournament in the works.
Very good.
Our friend has already read all of the rules.
It's really good.
So, we're excited.
We're excited that he's back in town.
I'm glad he's back too.
Yeah.
One more thing.
Oh, let's hear it.
I watched Cliveden last night.
It was four episodes.
I binged it.
It's not that new.
Cliveden? Clive-TON?
Cliveden.
C-L-I-V-E-D-E-N.
I don't know what that is.
It's spelled like Cliveden.
It's a manor house in the English countryside that is now a hotel.
Oh.
A five-star hotel.
And it used to be owned by the Astors.
Oh.
And lots of scandals have gone on there.
Do tell.
Well, you'll just have to watch the show.
Oh, OK.
They'll tell you all about it.
But Meghan Markle, that's where she got ready the night before her wedding.
She spent the night before her wedding there and got ready there in the morning.
Yes.
And that's where she came out in her dress and got in the car.
Oh.
They were really excited about that.
And that had just happened when they were shooting the show.
So, that kind of tells you how old it is.
I gotcha.
But I watched it on Freevy.
FREEVY.
It was really good.
It just kind of follows the staff around and shows what they have to do to get weddings ready because it's a big wedding venue.
That's what they do most of their business is weddings.
Nice.
They had some footage of some guests being super special.
What does that mean? You know, like, they brought a drink out for this woman.
Yeah.
And it was just a tiny clip.
They were just basically showing like a montage of the inner workings of a five-star hotel or whatever.
And they brought this drink out to this woman.
And she was like, you know, it is just ridiculous that when you have a drink, What they give with it is just an olive.
Just shit like that.
Then there was a dude who didn't want to use the kettle that was in his room because it had lime scale in it a little bit.
Like you should see my kettle.
You want to see lime scale.
But they have hard water.
And they were like, that's just because the water's hard.
So, they brought him another kettle.
It too had too much lime scale for him.
And so finally what they did was they boiled water in one of the kettles that he had rejected.
That he had rejected.
And they poured it in a flask or thermos for him and gave it to him.
And he was okay with that.
Oh, my word.
Just stuff like that.
And the kitchen is downstairs in this place.
The kitchen is downstairs.
You have to go up like a twisting staircase to get up to the dining room from the kitchen.
So, all the servers have to run upstairs with plates when they serve meals.
Why does that seem unusual to you? Because like in a hotel kitchen, I know in the UK that happens a lot.
Yes.
But to have to run upstairs with food when you're serving like 100 people for a wedding, you have to keep going up and down the stairs.
So, they have some nice legs.
Yeah.
I was exhausted watching these young people.
Maybe that's the job I need to get to make me lose weight.
Oh, dude.
Force me.
I would just eat the food on the plate as I go up the stairs.
I would eat the stairs multiple times a night.
There were a couple of people who they were really trying to hurry up and get this dinner service done.
Oh no, did they trip? And a couple of people tripped and the dude, this chef was so pissed.
Well, yeah.
Anyway, it was a little bit stressful.
Yeah, I got really mad at rich people.
Anyway.
We're not here to rail against the aristocracy.
We're here to share our internet search histories with our DTH besties.
And how do we do that, Cara? With The Reading of the Lists.
I go first telling you my top five most interesting, funniest, most successful searches of the week in list form.
And my list for this week is number one, be real app.
Number two, Gen Z Americans.
Number three, strange habits of queens.
Number four, Thomas Edison inventions by others.
Number five, Anna Bates giantess.
Okay.
Here's mine.
Number one, I knew how to say it before the show started.
And now that I'm looking at it, I'm doubting myself.
Kaboots.
Kaboots, that's right.
Number two, misophonia.
Number three, how long does the average bird stay in the nest? Number four, squatocracy.
Number five, expressions from a TV show called A Place to Call Home.
God strike me pink.
The pride of Aaron.
Tempest Fugit, like chalk and cheese.
That was all one, that last one? Yeah.
Holy crap.
It is.
Okey dokey.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way.
Yeah.
And told people what they can expect, kind of a little sneak a peaky.
Sneaky peaky.
It's time to play a game we like to call.
Oh.
Search me! Where we each pose one question to each other and see if we can answer based only on the reading of the list.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cara, today.
Yes? 
You are playing for...
Oh.
Oh! These adorable owl stickers.
Oh, my gosh.
Here, there you go.
I don't want to hit the cables.
And this delicious, crunchy Kinder Bueno.
Dude, I love Kinder Stuff.
Have you ever had Kinder Stuff? No.
Oh, it's so good.
I have not.
We should just eat that right now.
Um.
I can't believe you should have bought yourself.
Listen, anything that says on the package, creamy nut filling.
I'm all over it.
Oh man, I love that stuff.
Okay, what is my...
You love creamy nut filling? Yes, I do, as a matter of fact.
Your question today.
Which search made me simultaneously feel old and behind the times? 
(long pause)
Gen Z Americans? Oh no.
Try again.
Thomas Edison inventions by others? Oh no.
Oh no! You got two.
Be real app? Yes.
Oh shoot.
Oh my gosh.
Well, you made it with that before your three strikes.
Thank you for bending the rules.
You'll have to use that, or I'll have to use that buzzer sound effect.
Yes, multiple times.
That's fine.
Tell me why that made you feel old.
And what'd you say out of touch? What did you say? And behind the times.
Behind the times.
It's a French social media app released in 2020.
Okay.
Now it was developed in France, but obviously it went global.
The name is a pun of be real.
Think about it.
Think about it.
Film studies major slash mass media major.
Be real.
the uninteresting stuff cut from footage or wallpaper footage like b-roll in news.
Okay.
Um, it's already come and gone.
Oh, so that's why I felt behind the times because I was like, huh, what's this? I didn't know what it was.
Yeah.
What's this thing youngins are using? And then they're not even using it anymore.
How it works is you get a daily notification that encourages you to share photos of yourself.
Well, two photos actually.
A selfie and then a photo of your immediate surroundings.
You have two minutes to do this after you get the prompt.
So, the point is you have to do it right then so you can't stage it.
Oh gosh.
It's just you take the picture.
What are you doing now? Where are you? Yes.
That's it.
The timing is random, so you can't plan for it.
And it's a different time every day.
You can't use filters, and there's no staging.
You don't have time to stage, unless you're really quick.
It's often called the anti-Instagram app, because the posts are more authentic.
That's what I was getting ready to ask, is did it die because people were too set on staging things and making sure everything looked perfect.
Let me tell you more about it.
Oh, I'll tell you why people think that it kind of went the way of the Dodo.
You can take a retake.
And you can still post if you miss the window.
But in both cases, your friends will see that you retook your image, or you posted late.
Okay.
and you can't see any other user's images and you cannot or your friend's images unless you take a picture of yourself.
Oh.
And the photos don't stay.
So, it's kind of like Snapchat.
Okay.
Where they go away.
I'm all right with that.
Allegedly.
Oh.
Nothing ever goes away.
Well, right, right.
You know, but I mean, it doesn't stay up there.
You won't have like a feed or a history like you do on Instagram where you can go back and look.
Right.
Okay.
Users can also see where their friends are on a map and discover other publicly posted Be-reels.
What they call them.
The posts are called Be-reels.
The catch is before you can view anyone else's post for the day you have to post your own photo.
Okay.
Which I already said.
It was criticized for being too mundane.
Oh.
It was way too boring.
It was a lot of posts of people just sitting at computers, or looking at screens.
Cause that's what we do.
That's what we do all day.
That's people's real lives.
That's our life.
And guess what? It's mostly be real.
Yeah.
It's the shit that gets cut because it's boring.
Yes.
So, unless the window comes up at a time when you're eating or doing something fun or active or whatever.
Just got out of the shower and look amazing.
Right.
My selfie would be.
Oh hell, I just had a migraine cluster, and here's my dirty house.
Right.
Mine, yeah, mine would be, it would be the same every day.
Yes.
I don't do anything.
And if you are out and being active and actually doing stuff when the window pops up, you don't have time to take a picture of yourself or your surroundings or whatever.
It just was not convenient for people.
Okay.
Its popularity was short lived.
From October 2022 to 2023, its daily active users plummeted from 20 million per day to six million.
Oh.
So, it looks like we already missed out.
Too bad, because people could have seen some sweet pictures of me.
So, I want to know from our DTH besties if they ever got in on this BeReal craze.
Yes, that's a lot of people.
Surely somebody out there was on it.
Oh, you mean.
That's a lot of people who were on it.
20 million.
Yes.
You don't mean that's a lot of people, DTH besties, because that's kind of a small group.
No, we have a very small listening pool.
It's niche.
sources were wikipedia, vox, dazedigital.com, NPR, and The Guardian.
Wow! Mm-hmm.
Lots of sources.
Yeah.
All right, so today you are going to play for these amazing flamingo stickers that we've never seen before.
Oh my gosh, why do you keep trying to give me these flamingo stickers back? Look at these amazing...
look how cool these are!
Cara.
You have to try to answer this correctly.
You can't guess wrong.
Oh, I hadn't even thought about that.
Which of my searches was prompted by 4:30a.m. anger? 
Oh.
How long does the average bird stay in the nest? That is correct.
What does this bird sound like that was bothering you? I don't know if I can even...
Is it the one that goes...
Du-du du du du du du du du du du du.
You know which one I'm talking about.
I know which one you're talking about, but it's not that one.
It's the one that goes...
(weird bird noises)
But then there's like 50 of those in a nest.
Oh, baby birds.
Yes.
They're all hungry at 4:30 in the morning.
Are they outside your sliding glass door? Yes, so somewhere.
I went and looked at them, looked for them.
I can't find them.
But they have nested just outside that sliding door.
But they are close by.
I cannot figure out where they are, but.
Under the deck, maybe? I'm thinking so.
I don't know why they are hidden very well.
I found that the average songbird is only supposed to be in the nest like hatched.
So, after they're hatched, they're in the nest for another two or three weeks.
These cannot be songbirds because they have been in the nest for like eight weeks.
It has been or I just had a thought maybe somebody maybe the little birdies got kicked out and someone came and laid more eggs.
Maybe it's a second round of, oh my gosh.
Oh, they wait.
I can hear them.
It's so high pitched.
I can hear it through my earplugs.
It's waking me up.
And there's so many of them.
There's so many birds in this nest.
Very loud babies.
Maybe they're not songbirds.
I don't know what they are.
I'm starting to wonder if they're hawks.
Oh Cuz they they're so screechy. 
Now I did read the raptors which a hawk would be a raptor.
Yeah, and they can stay in the nest for as long as eight to ten weeks so, I'm wondering...
But they would only have a couple at a time.
I don't know.
Yeah, that's true.
And songbirds probably have like maybe four, three or four at a time.
Yeah.
Ugh.
I need a cat.
I need Pussykins.
Pussykins.
Anyway, hopefully they'll be gone soon.
Anyway, nestwatch.
org was my source.
Oh, well, okay.
Okey Dokey.
And those flamingo stickers are yours.
Oh my gosh.
I tried really hard too to get that right.
I can't not.
I know.
You know this about me.
You know what's funny is we both gave each other bird stickers.
We did.
Today.
You get those cute owl stickers and I get these reject flamingo stickers.
From the 80s.
Good job.
Totally gonna give those to somebody else.
Yeah, you need to pawn those off in your kids or something.
Oh, wait, did you get Quinn the sticker book? Oh no, not yet, but yeah, I'll just give these to Quinn.
Yeah, well that was fun, but now what? Now we get to transition awkwardly into our shared history.
I love awkward transitions.
Well, it's kind of fitting, because we're awkward.
So, awkward.
So, now we're going to tell our DTH besties what we searched this week and why we searched it and what we learned.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If anything.
I learned a lot.
Did you? Yeah, I did, actually.
All right, well, you hit me with your first.
OK, my first search is Gen Z Americans.
Yes, I'm excited to hear about this.
Since we've already talked about BeReal.
It was extremely popular with Gen Z Americans, actually.
Okay.
So, what does it mean to be Gen Z? I don't know.
What does it mean to be Gen Z? Well, the New York Times compiled a list for us.
Excellent.
I love lists.
And I also learned a little bit about this week because we had a lunch and learn at work about intergenerational work relationships and, you know, what the different generations of people, how they grew up working or how they learned how to work when they came into the workplace and what their kind of work ethic is and what their work styles are.
And it is very generational.
Was that based on a book? Because I just looked at a book this week about all the generations that are currently working together.
And I'm trying to think of what it was called.
They might have used that as their source material.
But we had four presenters.
We had somebody, we had a boomer, and she's part of my reading group, my book club.
I love her.
And we had a Gen Xer, which is you and me.
You and me.
And we had a millennial, and we had a Gen Z.
OK.
So, that was really interesting.
And then the next group of.
people coming up in the world are the generation alphas.
Oh lordy, I'm not gonna be able to remember this stuff anymore.
Okay, so Gen Z.
This is the generation born between 1997 and 2012.
So, all my kids are Gen Z.
Oh my lord.
Every single one of them, even though they're so spread out.
Goodness.
I know, I can't believe that it worked out that way.
Although Caleb, my oldest, he probably identifies more with millennials.
which is generation Y.
Caleb, let us know.
Email us.
Delete this history podcast at gmail.com.
Or text us because gen Z's, they like texting more than email.
Here's some things, some more things.
They are more liberal leaning in general when it comes to relationship norms, but they still believe that men should pay for dates and heterosexual courtships.
Oh.
Isn't that weird? That is interesting.
I think that is really interesting how ingrained that is.
Many are anxious about their lives and disillusioned about politics and the direction in which the country is headed and overall pessimistic about their futures.
Their most popular cause is climate change, according to polls.
This is all generalizing.
OK.
And then I learned at this thing this past week at work, that they prefer texting and IMing over emailing.
They don't like to be micromanaged.
They like to be part of a bigger picture.
They don't like doing teeny tiny tasks where they can't see the forest for the trees.
They like to know, why am I doing this thing? They like to use new technology and...
Oh, there were so many other things that I was just like, oh, oh.
But I really between Gen X, Millennials, Gen Y and Gen Z, I really shared a lot of characteristics work style wise.
Like I really have adapted myself to work with a lot of different people in different generations and I've taken on some of these habits and traits.
Um, so I find that really interesting that us oldies are kind of, or we're kind of like the middle kids right now.
Yeah.
And we're sort of, I don't know, blending in.
Well, and that I don't find that surprising as we're talking about this because we are And I'm not trying to say this in a bragging sort of way, but we're kind of unique in that.
Are we snowflakes? No, we're not snowflakes because I hate that term with a freaking passion.
Don't get me started.
But I feel like we're kind of unique in that we have one foot, in old technology and then a foot in technology because we were the group that they started teaching technology to.
Correct.
And I just feel like you, our group, our Gen X, just we are adaptable because we did adapt.
Yes, we've had to adapt all the way up from typewriters to computers to the internet age to just everything.
Yeah, I totally agree.
I would love to understand the anxiety.
Is that coming from the pandemic? What is that stemming from? I've never understood that.
I think that the world is a shit show.
Is it coming from social media? I think a lot of it is social media.
I think that they're kind of feeding off each other with that kind of anxiety.
But, everything is more transparent now than it used to be.
We used to see that's true We used to only see what the news media showed right? You're right.
And now we're seeing people's everyday lives we're seeing Different perspectives and And how many news outlets did we have correct and now how many news outlets are there? I mean, they're also feeding off of a lot of anecdotal things 
So, if you're constantly being told stories about how terrible life is, how terrible the job market is, people are passing laws to try to erase who I am as a person.
Then you're seeing anecdotes about police violence against people of color or just people in general.
Right.
But why is that affecting one generation so much more? I mean, we're all seeing the same thing.
Correct.
So, we're already established in life as adult people.
And they're just starting out in life.
Think about how sheltered we were when we were in our pre-teens, teens, and early 20s.
We only saw what we actually saw every day in person.
Yeah.
And that was our experience.
So, whatever our experience was, was what we were seeing.
These kids are seeing everybody else's experience and I think they're taking it on.
So, to me, that is the red flag is you got to start, you got to start scaling back.
And I'm not saying put your, you know, not ostrich in the sand.
That's not what I'm saying, but it, at some point, and we all did this during the pandemic, during the, the 2016 election.
You got to step back and decide how much you're going to take in.
Right.
Because it does affect you.
It 100% does.
Yeah.
And I think that they just aren't good at filtering that, because that's not how they grew up.
You don't grow up filtering.
You take in.
You look at it all.
Yeah.
You're a consumer.
It's hard.
And I feel bad for him.
But.
I mean, I'm so glad I am so thankful that we did not grow up with social media.
We came in on the perfect time of technology.
I mean, if I had grown up with social media and I can't even imagine because when you're that age, I think you probably feel pressured to post and it's got to be awesome and interesting.
Because if people don't like it, or they don't look at it, what good am I? Right.
Or if they do get a negative comment, because there's a troll or something, or a cyber bully or whatever, it really affects them.
My sources for Gen Z were Wikipedia and New York Times.
Interesting.
That's an interesting topic.
Um, the book I was talking about was called Sticking Points.
No, nobody mentioned that.
Okay.
It's by Hayden Shaw.
That sounds interesting.
I'm kind of interested in that, but it talks about five different generations that are working side by side in the workplace right now.
And so...
It's super.
I was actually looking at that today.
You know, Barb, who did the presentation on baby boomers, she could not get statistics for how many baby boomers are retiring every day, because it changes so much that you can't...
There are so many baby boomers retiring every single day that she can't she couldn't get a number Fascinating topic.
Thanks.
Your welcome.
Okay my search that I'm gonna talk about next is called squatocracy Mmm, I am watching a place called home, which is a really good Australian TV show and it's extremely dramatic If you decide to watch it just get prepared for drama.
It's a little soapy.
It's soapy but it's I'm enjoying it.
It's so good though.
It is good.
It's kind of like Downton Abbey, but further down the road, like it's in the 50s.
Yeah.
They mentioned squatocracy on this show because they're in Australia.
Yes.
I'm like, what the hell is that? Squatocracy is the wealthy and influential owners of sheep ranches in Australia.
The British government, which had claimed all the land in Australia, tried several different ways to regulate the system of private land ownership.
And these landowners who farmed livestock instead of crops became known as squatters.
Not all were interested in holding huge areas of land, but some built large pastoral empires running thousands of cattle and sheep and becoming extremely rich.
And they essentially just grabbed up this land.
A group of them joined together to establish a residential club.
to stay at when they came to Melbourne on business.
The Melbourne Club was founded in 1839 and still exists today.
Its members are considered to be some of the wealthiest, most powerful and influential men in Australia.
Women are not admitted.
So, gold was discovered in Australia around 1851 and at that point, squatter's properties took up most of every inch of usable land, leaving very little to be occupied by the gold rush.
folks that were coming in.
And so resentment started to grow against the squatters monopoly.
The great sheep owner may have had half a million acres,
by just claiming it.
And they may have accumulated hundreds of thousands of pounds by selling, when I say pounds, I mean mula.
They use pounds.
By selling their wool.
The growing resentment against the squatters led to the formation of the 1857 Land Convention, which began campaigning for land reform.
It was successful and in 1860 saw the establishment of the Nicholson Land Act, which opened up squatter's land to anyone who could afford to buy it and restricted the amount of land an individual can own.
Unfortunately, the act wasn't very effective. 
Oh poop.
With the help of dummy bidders, Squatters could still purchase whatever land they required.
They also use their knowledge of the land to buy up the best locations, leaving only infertile ground for farming.
However, despite the dubious methods of ensuring their own success, squatters had an enormous impact on Victoria's early economic expansion and development in Australia.
Don't they realize that leaving all the…
‘Please fasten your seatbelts and put your trays in the upright position’
Okay.
Don't they realize that leaving all the crappy infertile land for the farmers is only going to hurt the whole country, including them in the long run? Maybe.
No vegetables, only meat.
What the heck? And what do you feed your animals? Right.
I know.
It's dumb.
D'er people.
My source was State Library of Victoria.
That's really interesting.
Yes.
I-I say that's really interesting about everything we talk about.
Alright, what's your next search? Strange habits of queens.
Yes.
Okay.
I was rabbit-holing down YouTube history videos.
Like I hadn't watched any in a while.
And I came across one from The Grunge.
They have some interesting stuff on there.
Some of the stuff is pretty salacious and kind of, you know.
But they have some good stuff every once in a while.
And this was one.
Of course the title, it was very clickbaity.
It was like, you know, ‘these queens have the craziest habits you'll ever know, you'll ever hear about’ whatever.
It's not whatever.
Okay, so here's a few.
Okay.
Marie Antoinette, she collected miniature animals.
She had a fake village constructed so that she could get away from the palace and pretend to be a normie.
It had 11 cottages, a lake, a watermill, a working dairy, a windmill that didn't mill anything, a barn, and other peasant type buildings.
That is really weird.
And she would have her friends, they would have to dress like peasants, they would have to go into these dwellings and really like pretend like they were these people.
It was like cosplay.
Reverse cosplay.
Okay.
Uh, she lost her head.
Queen Elizabeth II.
Ha ha ha.
So, Queen Elizabeth II, she had some interesting quirks.
She traveled with a full medical kit, including a bag of blood.
That's kind of smart actually.
And a doctor.
She hated ice cubes.
What? Don't know.
She hated beards.
She hated bow ties and open windows.
Bow ties and open windows?
Yep, not related, but you know, maybe a guy hanging out an open window wearing a bow tie, she'd be really, and with a glass with some ice cubes in it, and he has a beard.
Oh my gosh.
You know what, I kind of hate ice cubes too, because Sean crunches ice cubes, and I can't stand it.
That hurts my teeth to listen to.
Oh me too.
I like ice cubes, but I like them to just melt into my drink and make my water really cold.
That's all I like it for.
Wait, you said this is Elizabeth the second, like the gal that just died.
Yes.
Okay, I'm laughing even more now.
I know.
She had all of her outfits numbered.
Shut up.
So, if ever you think you are OCD, she's got you beat.
And she had a servant who broke in all of her shoes for her.
Oh, now that.
could get on board with.
Yeah I don't want to wear shoes after somebody else wears them.
Yeah they're gonna be uncomfortable.
They'd have somebody else's foot sweat.
Well you do a foot interview.
I want to know like did she go, “Like okay today is Wednesday and I'm going to go to the park and so I want outfit number 271.”
I don't know.
Did she know the numbers? I don't think she had them memorized.
No.
I doubt she even wore very many num- very many outfits more than once.
That's what- oh, I have so many questions.
I know.
Okay, continue.
Um, Queen Mary, the wife of George the Fifth, grandmother of Elizabeth the Second.
Okay.
Grandmother, got it.
She was a bit of a klepto.
Uh-oh.
When visiting someone, she would stare at whatever objects that she wanted, and if people didn't get the hint...
that she wanted that and that she was interested in it, she'd simply take it when they weren't looking.
Oh my word.
So, people started hiding things before she would come to visit.
I mean, this was a well-known thing.
Oh my gosh.
And then, like in antique stores and things like that, it became a problem.
Oh my word.
So, her assistant started returning things to people with a note that there had been a misunderstanding.
Oh my word.
She thought this was hers to put in her bag and isn't that hilarious? Oh my gosh.
You can have anything you want.
Yes.
Yeah, that is a...
Just go out and get one just like it.
Or just buy it.
For yourself.
If you're in an antique store.
Yeah, that's a mental illness.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
But sometimes people in their houses, they have things that are like priceless heirlooms.
That's why they just started hiding things.
If it was something that they really, really did not want to have disappear or didn't want to give to her as a gift, they would just be like, “Make sure you hide the whatever.”
Oh my gosh that’s hilarious.
Yeah.
Empress Elizabeth of Russia from 1709 to 1762, she through cross dressing parties.
She liked her legs a lot, but she didn't get to show them off because the Fashion of the time was long hoop skirts.
Mm-hmm.
So, she threw parties where the women dressed like men with form-fitting tights, because that's what men wore back then, and the men dressed like women.
And full dresses and makeup.
So, she could wear, show off her legs.
So, she could show off those gans.
That's hilarious.
I wish I loved my legs that much.
Oh man, I hide them as much as possible.
Me too.
I told my hairdresser, as a matter of fact, just last week that, I really love my dad and I'm glad I got a lot of things from him, but I really wish that I had not gotten his ankles His legs in general.
My mom had nice legs.
Yeah.
But no, I got my dad's legs.
Thanks.
Queen Victoria.
She carried a slice of bread with her everywhere she went.
Okay.
In case she wanted to feed the birds.
Oh.
Or beggars.
I bet it was birds more than beggars.
Probably so.
She was not known to be...
She just wasn't very sympathetic toward poor people.
And there were other queens that they mentioned with strange habits, but most of them sounded more like mental illnesses than habits.
And I'm not cool with conflating the two things and laughing about them, so I didn't mention them here.
So, YouTube channeled ‘The Grunge’, or ‘Grunge’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Time’.
and ‘Bright Side’ were my sources.
Nice.
Yeah, I thought those were pretty funny.
Yeah, those were good.
Makes you look or think about those people in a different way.
Yeah.
All right, I'm gonna talk about what is a kibbutz.
This also has come from ‘A Place to Call Home’, TV show.
Yes.
Because the main character converted to Judaism.
And they were talking about a kibbutz and I was like, I don't know what that is It turns out it's a unique type of settlement in Israel And the first one was formed more than 90 years ago and it literally means group It was originally a voluntary society where people live within a specific social contract based on egalitarianism and communal principles in a social and economic framework the main characteristics of a kibbutz life were established in adherence to collectivism in property alongside a cooperative character in the spheres of education, culture, and social life.
With this came the understanding that a kibbutz member is a part of a unit that is larger than just his own family.
The kibbutz operates under the premise that all income generated by its members goes into a common pool.
This income is used to run the kibbutz, make investments, and guarantee mutual reciprocal aid and responsibility.
I find that super interesting.
It's basically, it's a commune.
It really is.
Yeah.
It is.
Kibbutz members receive the same budget according to family size, regardless of their job or position.
In terms of education, all children start equally and are given equal opportunity.
The kibbutz is governed by a system of direct participatory democracy where the individual can directly influence issues and events in the community.
In this mostly self-sufficient community, the collective as well as the work ethic play a major role.
So, the kibbutz has grown out of the pioneering era and way of thought of the early 20th century, and it was developed during pre-state and early years of Israel's statehood.
During the initial years and for many years after, it assumed prominent roles in almost every sphere of that developing country.
Although encompassing only 3% of Israeli society, the Kibbutz has made a dramatic mark on Israeli production, culture and ideology.
So, today, it's kind of gone through some changes.
Some aspects that in the past were included in the public domain are now under the care and responsibility of each member of his or her family.
Somewhat romanticized in the past, the kibbutz of today has evolved dramatically and the focus of kibbutz life on society has substantially diminished.
The number of members on a kibbutz can range from 100 to 1000.
In older...
like years ago, members often included three and even four generations.
I know.
I like the egalitarianism of it and I like that you have a family of X size, this is what you get.
You contribute to the society, you get an allowance of this because you have this many people in your family and we've worked out that that's what, but who decides, first of all? Well, according to this, the group decides.
Second of all, I would not want to live with that many generations of my family.
No offense, y'all.
But I do have a recurring dream that I live in a big house with all of my family members and my in-laws.
That's an interesting recurring dream.
And it's always terrible.
It is always a very stressful dream.
there's always like people fighting, not getting along, and I'm always the one who is like making people mad.
Oh, oh, that's interesting.
This is a totally different culture.
We don't- 
Right.
It's very much like the Amish culture for sure.
It's like all of those multi generational kind of cultures, which are usually religious, which is interesting.
True.
That's a good point.
I was ready to leave at 16.
No offense, family, but yeah, I was ready to go.
Yeah, I was too.
I wanted to be a grown-up and make my own decisions.
Yeah, and have my own life.
This is giving up a lot of control.
Like there's this is really rule established, which I'm a rule follower, but I also like to have control of my life.
And this is very...
You have to be very selfless to live in a kibbutz.
I don't think I'm very selfless.
I know I'm not.
Anyway, sorry to butcher the crap out of that.
All right, my next one is Thomas Edison inventions by others.
Yes.
Okay, this was another history video on YouTube.
Okay.
This was ‘Weird History’.
Basically, he was a fraud.
Brea is not going to mince words here.
We don't have time.
So, I was watching these things these videos got me thinking and judging.
Here are some inventions that Thomas Edison claimed to have invented, but he was really just good at applying for patents.
Oh He applied for approximately 1,093 patents in all dang give or take, but he didn't really invent these things.
I see.
Or he would make a modification to something that was already invented and then people would say, “Oh, hey, Thomas Edison invented that.”
And then he would not correct them.
Yeah, he would not correct the record.
Okay.
So, one, the incandescent light bulb.
Yeah, that's a big one.
That's the like the very first thing you think of.
Sure.
Okay.
But William Sawyer and Alban Mann received a U.S.
patent for the incandescent lamp and Joseph Swan patented his light bulb in England.
There was a debate on whether Edison's light bulb patents infringed on these other inventors' patents.
Edison did, however, make light bulbs and electricity more practical.
However, A black inventor named Louis Latimer went even further, making light bulb filaments more durable and manufacturing them more efficiently.
I wonder why we never learned about him?
I don't know?
It's so strange?
The movie camera or kinetograph.
Some say he stole the work of Louis Le Prince for his patent.
Others say he built upon the work of still life photographers Joseph Nicephone.
Neeps, I think, and Louis Daguerre of the daguerreotype fame, as well as the first motion picture camera made by Edward Muybridge in 1877.
The Kinetoscope, peephole motion picture viewer, okay.
Most of the work on the Kinetoscope was carried out by William Dixon, one of Edison's assistants, in 1888.
Edison's name is the only one on the patent.
We've all been there, okay? We've all been there, especially admin assistants.
You work your butt off on a project.
You make it actually happen.
You meet the deadline.
Who gets the recognition for it? Thomas Edison.
Thomas fuckin Edison.
Phonograph or sound recorder.
French printer and bookseller, Edouard Leon Scott de Martinville.
Wow!
Wee!
Created the phonautograph.
15 years before Edison's phonograph.
15 years!
Whoa.
Now it recorded sound on paper.
Oh.
Through a series of lines and squiggles.
Whoa, that's cool!
So, it was a little bit different.
So, like I said, he always kind of found a way to finagle, like, oh, well, mine is different.
Batteries.
Yes.
He reworked what Volta had already developed decades before, decades, then profited off the improvements and didn't correct people when they said that he invented storage batteries.
Oh, my word.
Wax paper.
Now I had no idea about wax paper.
I didn't even think about somebody invented that.
But anyway, he took credit for the invention by Gustave Le Gray, who invented it in 1851.
He would use it in his photography.
He would put it over like a filter over his lenses.
I was just gonna say, why did he invent that? Oh, that's interesting.
And now I use it to put candy on when I am making Christmas candy.
Yes.
Wax paper is the bomb.
It is.
My sources were ‘YouTube’, ‘Weird History’, ‘The New Yorker’, ‘Energy.gov’, ‘National Geographic’, and ‘Ranker’.
Dang! All right.
My next search again comes from the television show, ‘A Place to Call Home’.
They say super funny things on this show.
Yes.
And one of them that made me laugh so hard, I'd never heard it before.
And I was crying mostly because of the character that said it and the way he said it.
But he discovered that he accidentally led on a lady friend.
And these folks are older.
They're probably in their 60s-ish.
and he accidentally let her on and when someone alerted him to the fact he said, “God strike me pink!”, ‘God, strike me pink’.
That is the funniest thing.
What does that mean? It means it's a true expression of shock.
Like he was utterly shocked.
Yes.
It was one of the funniest scenes.
So, it's like saying, I'll be damned.
Exactly.
Or something like that.
Or like, you have got to be kidding me.
Yeah.
Another one that I had never heard before, ‘The Pride of Aaron’.
Oh yes, what is this? That is a waltz.
They were just dropping that, like they're like, well, it's no pride of Aaron.
I misunderstood the context, because they were all dancing.
And someone was saying, “Oh, this dance is super fun,” or something like that.
“I really enjoy this; this is brand new.”
And someone said, “Well, it's no pride of Aaron,” but it's a type of waltz.
Okay.
Another one, this was Latin, ‘Tempus Fugit’, which I'm sure everyone out there is like, duh, Cara.
Nope.
It means time flies.
Oh, okay.
But this character who's a jerk, he was like feigning interest.
And he was like, oh, no, no tea for me.
‘Tempest Fugit’ and all that.
And he walked out.
You're a jerk.
Like he doesn't have time for it.
He was like, I don't want to have tea with you.
‘Tempest Fugit’.
‘Tempest Fugit’ and all that.
No time for you.
And then the last one, this one got me too.
‘We go together like chalk and cheese’.
Oh, yeah, chalk and cheese.
I never heard chalk and cheese.
But then when I thought about it, I was like, Yeah.
That's disgusting.
It is gross.
Because I hate chalk.
I hate chalk.
Yeah, me too.
I don't like how it feels on my hands.
I don't like the sound of it on chalkboard.
The dust that it creates.
I don't like trying to erase it.
I have some serious sensory issues with chalk.
Me too.
But yeah, chalk and cheese, those are two things that do not go together well.
Correct.
The British say that a lot.
Oh, do they? Chalk and cheese.
Okay.
Yeah.
This was a very handsome Australian surfer.
Oh, yes.
I remember him.
Matt Goddard.
You guys, it's a good show.
My sources were ‘A Place to Call Home’ and ‘Google’.
Yeah.
That's it.
All right.
My last one is Anna Bates.
Giantess.
Yes.
What in the world? More history videos.
This is Anna Bates, not to be confused with like Mrs.
Bates.
Oh.
Anna Bates on ‘Downton Abbey’.
That's what I thought this was about.
No.
OK.
This is a woman who was born Anna Haining Swan in 1846 in Canada.
When she was born, she weighed 16 pounds.
Oh my word.
Ouch.
She was the second child of 12.
Her parents, her mother had 10 more after her, which I bet they were a lot easier to have.
I bet they just shot out.
And they were all average sized.
Oh Lord have mercy.
By the time she was 10, she was over six feet tall.
Oh dang! she eventually grew to a total height of 7 feet 11 inches.
What? Her feet were 14.2 inches long.
Wow.
And it was never determined what caused her gigantism, which is what the condition she had, I guess.
But many people with this condition have a tumor on their pituitary gland.
Oh, yes.
And it causes acromegaly.
And when the pituitary gland creates too much growth hormone, which can result in gigantism.
Okay.
So, that's one of the causes of gigantism.
So, basically, gigantism is an umbrella term, and then the cause of that could be that you have something on your pituitary gland that makes your growth hormones go crazy, or it could be other things.
But they never did figure out what it was with her, because it was just...
so far back in the day that they just couldn't diagnose it.
And when was that again? She was born in 1846.
Can you imagine? No.
Being a woman? No.
In 1846 over seven feet tall? She was more than her size though.
She was a great actor, singer, and pianist.
Oh nice.
She started working with P.T. Barnum at the age of 17.
Oh my.
And later she toured the Western US and Europe, even appearing before Queen Victoria.
Oh, she married Martin Van Buren Bates, not the president of the United States.
You saw it on my face.
His namesake.
I was like, in the Bates family, they must've really been fans.
Um, they were married in 1871 and he was only seven feet, nine inches tall.
Wait, please tell me you're about to tell me about their babies.
Um, yes.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
Later.
Uh, he was known as the Kentucky giant.
Oh, they toured together as a couple before they were ever married.
Okay.
It was kind of like, that was the gag was the largest couple and blah, blah.
Okay.
But they weren't really a couple, but then they fell in love and got married.
Now for the sad stuff.
Oh no.
Anna wanted to be a mother, and she gave birth to two children, both of whom died.
Oh no.
Her first, a girl weighed, how much do you think she weighed? Six pounds.
18 pounds.
Oh you know what I thought it's gonna go the other way.
No.
18! And she died at birth.
Oh my gosh.
Her second aboy was the largest newborn ever recorded.
No.
Want to take a guess? 25 pounds.
You're close.
Oh 23 pounds 9 ounces.
Oh my word.
And nearly 30 inches long.
Oh my gosh. 
That is almost 3 feet tall, that is crazy.
He only lived 11 hours.
Oh, that's awful.
They just, they just couldn't.
Anyway, um, Anna and Martin, the Kentucky giant.
I just love that name.
They toured through the spring of 1880 and then they retired and moved to Seville, Ohio, where they had a custom built mansion with high ceilings and door frames.
Nice.
Yes.
As of 2022, which is a couple years ago, they still hold the Guinness World Record for tallest married couple with a combined height of 15 feet 8 inches.
Anna Swan, which was her professional name, she died of consumption in 1888.
My sources were ‘YouTube’, ‘Factinate’ channel, ‘Guinness World Records’, ‘Dictionary of Canadian biography’.
That was interesting.
It was fascinating.
They said when her water broke, I can't remember with which kid, that six liters of water came out of her.
Oh, whoa.
That's a lot of water.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
That's a lot of weight.
Yes.
I'm just sitting here thinking about how uncomfortable that would have been.
Wow, wow, wow, wow .
Yeah.
Anyway, all right.
She was amazing.
Sounds like it.
And she could reach stuff on the top shelf and didn't have to ask.
She do neftly could.
The Kentucky giant for it.
Nope.
She was taller than him.
You know what? That's a good name for a drink.
A Kentucky giant.
“What can I get you?” 
“I will have one Kentucky giant.”
It's just six liters of water.
Hold the...
That's gross.
I was gonna take a drink of water, but now I'm not.
Moving on, my next search and I think my last is misophonia.
Oh girl.
Misophonia is a disorder where certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable.
Given the circumstances, I have this.
I so have this.
Now I have a high tolerance, but well let me get through this and then we'll talk.
Well I've been sitting through it for four years so yeah.
People who have misophonia would describe it as a sound that drives you crazy.
I would go beyond that.
Yes.
Their reactions can range anywhere from annoyance to anger or more severe.
This disorder is sometimes called selective sound sensitivity syndrome.
People with this disorder often report that they're triggered by oral sounds such as eating, Oh my god, I hate eating sounds.
breathing, or chewing.
You know what one I can't stand is listening to people eat cereal.
Because not only do you have the milk sound, you also have the spoon in the mouth sound and then also the sound of crunching and or mushy cereal.
It's the worst sound in the world.
Other sounds might include typing on a keyboard, that doesn't bother me.
Finger drumming or windshield wipers.
Windshield wipers don't bother me.
It bothers me when the windshield gets too dry Oh, and the person doesn't turn the windshield wipers off Does Clint do that? Yes.
Sean does that it's like he doesn't realize that there's no more rain.
I'm like, “Hello! Can you turn the windshield wipers off, please?” Sean does the same thing That is so that was a really good impression of a windshield wiper on a dry windshield.
I know it was Okay, sometimes a small repetitive motion is a trigger.
So, someone is fidgeting near you like the same motion.
They jostle you or they like wiggle their foot continuously.
People with misophonia also say they often react to visual stimuli that accompanies the sound.
Researchers believe that those with misophonia may already have issues with how their brain filter sound.
And one of the features of misophonic sounds may be the repetitive noise.
Yes.
So, that repetition exacerbates other auditory processing problems.
What? The disorder ranges from mild to severe with a range of physiologic and emotional responses.
If you have a mild reaction, you might feel anxious, uncomfortable, or the urge to flee, maybe like I got to take a break from this or even disgust.
How dare you? If your response is more severe(like maybe Cara Burch) the sound in question might cause rage, anger, hatred, panic, fear, or emotional distress.
This disorder can put a cramp in your social life.
Those with misophonia have been known to develop anticipatory anxiety when going into situations where trigger sounds may be present.
Now, That does not bother me.
Like, it doesn't, I don't stop and think, oh gosh, there may be someone in there clicking a ballpoint pen over and over.
Right, right.
That doesn't bother me.
But once you encounter it, so you're not anticipating it, but once you do hear it, then you can't tune it out.
I can't tune it out.
Well, it's almost like I don't hear it until it just keeps on going and going, and then all of a sudden, I'm like, why am I so annoyed right now? And then that's when my brain starts.
paying attention to sounds rather than whatever I was working on.
Yeah.
And then once my brain finds it, it's all over.
Forget it.
Yeah.
The rage.
Yeah.
That's when it happens.
The red mist descends.
(laughing together)
Some people that have that anxiety or fear of going into situations where there might be trigger sounds, they often avoid restaurants, which that's understandable, or eat separately from their spouse.
Yeah.
That does not bother me.
The age of onset for this lifelong condition is not known, but some people report symptoms beginning between the ages of 9 and 13.
Misophonia is more common with girls and comes on quickly although it doesn't appear to be related to any one specific event.
Doctors aren't sure what causes it but a recent study suggests that it is a brain based disorder and it could be related to how sound affects your brain and triggers automatic responses in your body.
This is what I found is super interesting.
It can often be misdiagnosed as anxiety.
bipolar or obsessive compulsive disorder.
How horrible would that be? The condition does affect daily life, but if you can learn to manage it with multidisciplinary approach, combining sound therapy and supportive counseling, along with regular sleep and regular exercise, you should be able to live a normal life.
Oh geez, the exercise part.
Maybe that's why.
Yeah, me too.
I'm not conquering my misophonia.
Some sufferers use a device similar to a hearing aid that creates a sound in your ear similar to a waterfall to distract them from these trigger noises.
That would make me insane.
That would just make it worse.
I agree.
They also wear earplugs or headsets to listen to enjoyable music and tune out trigger sounds, you know, if you're able to do that and don't work somewhere where you can't do that.
Yeah.
So, the reason I didn't I'd never heard of this word.
I know this was a disorder I was on of course scrolling through Instagram and someone posted something and it said, “What normal people ear-hear.” and they just bit into an apple and then it said, “What people with misophonia hear.” and this person changed into a muppet of a pig similar to miss piggy.
Yeah, and then you know described eating an apple and I was like, what the heck? So, I looked up that word and I have a form of this.
Yes, you do.
For sure, but it's not like, I don't even know how to describe it.
My thing is repetitive.
Oh man, someone I used to sit next to when they were on the phone.
They would take a highlighter, they would hold the highlighter and click the lid off and then pop it back on, click it off, pop it back on.
And they would do that the entire time they were on the phone.
And then I threw a piece of ice at them and they stopped.
People don't realize they're doing it.
It is just an absent minded thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, once you hear it, you can't un-hear it.
Yes.
Yeah, I don't like loud chewing, and it makes me angry.
Also, when Peyton sits next to me on the couch sometimes, he just flexes his, like he'll have his foot up against me, which is not my favorite anyway.
And he'll like cross his toes or flex his toes and like, pop them.
Oh, no.
And I feel it up against my leg.
Ew.
And I'm like, “Stop doing that,”
and he'll be like, “What?” He doesn't even know he's doing it,
and I'm like, “If you don't stop doing that with your foot,” he's like, “I'm not doing anything!”
Yes, I know.
They don't know.
Yes, you are.
And I'm about to lose my mind.
But Cara, what about this one? What about this one? I have so many.
Let's hear them.
OK, ready? Yep.
I'm going to see how fast I can go.
I'll be like the Micro Machines man.
OK.
OK, this is a quick listing of our other searches from the past week that we didn't have time to discuss in this episode, or we're just too damn boring.
BORING!

And she only came up with a few and I don't think we've got time to list them.
But they were the average ones that you would think of.
But then what made me laugh really hard is she said, “Lasagna?” Lasagna? Yeah, cause she put an egg in here.
Oh, but that's not really.
Why not? She was like, there can't be a hundred ways to cook eggs.
So, she was like, “Cookies, lasagna, bread?”
Oh yeah, I see what you mean.
Like cook them in things.
In things.
Okay.
And then we had Hopper.
She wanted to let us know that she follows a dude on Instagram that is a Thatcher.
The thatching guy.
She loves him.
Yes.
She's like, “I just watch it because it's fascinating.”
And it is fascinating.
If you guys have not watched, what is it, Genbria? The thatching guy.
Fascinating.
And he's really fast.
Oh, and he's really cute, too.
Thank you, Hopper.
No, really, thank you.
This is some really nice videos of him working shirtless and narrating in his lovely accent.
And I have one more.
Okay.
I was in traffic two weeks ago and I was listening to our podcast before I was supposed to edit our next one which blew up in my face.
Right.
I like to listen to our old one so I can catch anything that maybe we talked about.
Okay.
And so this guy, I have my windows down because it was a really nice day, and this guy said, “Lady, hey lady!”
And I was like, what? He goes, “Lady in the white car!”
So, I turned around and he was like, “What's that podcast you're listening to? It's funny.”
And it was the section where we were talking about naming the cat for Colleen.
Oh my gosh.
And so I told him, I said, “It's, I'm in that podcast.
I'm one of the hosts.”
And he was like, “Shut your face!”
So, I told him what it was called.
He goes, I'm gonna go look it up.
So,
Oh my gosh.
Dude in the red truck, out there in traffic, we may have a new listener.
And so we welcome you to the podcast.
If you are now listening.
It was so funny.
He might have been high, but I'll take it.
You know what? I'll take a lot of people are in this town.
I have a Peyton search list real quick.
Let's hear it.
Okay.
Here is his searches.
Desmos scientific calculator, Tom Hanks.
He did not know who Tom Hanks was.
I know I failed.
Minyanka language.
Morales Spain, map of Africa, iridescent, most dangerous countries in ‘Bitlife’.
What does karma do in ‘Bitlife’? And he got his braces off this week.
Yeah, I mean not his braces off.
He's had his braces off, but he got his retainers.
He only has to wear them overnight now.
Yeah.
And we are clear and done with orthodontist appointments.
Woo.
Who? So, way to go, buddy.
You did a great job.
Excellent.
Cara, how should people like that guy in that red truck get in touch with us? If he wants to tell us how much he loves our episode.
Well, they can connect with us on Instagram and threads at DTH gals or Delete This History on Facebook.
Or Delete This History podcast at gmail.com.
Yep.
Okay.
What are you going to do now? I'm gonna go delete my history because these library people keep walking by and giving us dirty looks.
I know, I know, I know.
I gotta go delete my history real, real fast.
Real, real fast! Okay! Okay, bye! Byeeeee! Stay fresh, cheese bags.
That's the best one yet.
