I have to tell you, I laughed where you were saying, sweet baby angel, sweet baby angel Keith Morrison.
Oh my gosh it was so funny.
There are so many people I feel that way about, where I'm just like, oh no, Tom Hanks, stay home.
Oh my gosh, right? Jane Doody, stay home.
We should just do an episode about that, the people we hope don't die soon.
Oh yes, and why we love them.
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 I know I can lean on you Welcome to episode 46.
Whoa is it 46? Yes.
What? Of Delete This History, a podcast by two besties of a certain age searching for answers.
We're your hosts, Cara Burch and Brea Brown.
I literally thought I had typed that in wrong.
No ma'am, it is correct.
Wow, wow.
We're almost to our golden anniversary.
That's right, exciting stuff.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
You know what else is exciting? What? My bookmarks today.
Then get on it.
Okay, number one, I have two of them.
Number one, letters live on YouTube.
Letters live, okay.
So, I stumbled across this as I was doing my rundown last night, and it is awesome.
I'd never seen this before.
And I'm glad that you don't know about this, because I kind of felt like I was the only person in the whole world that probably hasn't seen this.
So, that makes me feel a little bit better.
Here's a- There are so many things under the sun, Cara.
There's no such thing as everybody's seen anything, maybe.
Well, here's a description from the page on YouTube.
Letters Live is a series of live events celebrating the power of literary…
correspondence.
Inspired by Sean Usher's Letters of Note, Letters Live is an initiative by publishing company Cannon Gate and Benedict Cumberbatch's production company Sunnymarch.
Oh.
Have I intrigued you? Yes.
You had me at Cumberbatch.
I thought I would.
It has become a phenomenon wherever it has played in the UK.
The idea of Letters Live is simple.
We asked talented, inspiring, and high profile artists from various disciplines to read letters out loud to our audiences.
Letters Live celebrates letter writing and the art of correspondence first and foremost.
So, while I was on YouTube, it suggested Peter Dinklage reads a letter in defense of beavers.
Oh my.
So, these are average letters written by whoever.
Okay.
And where have they sourced these letters? I don't know.
I haven't figured that part out.
OK.
But they find letters somehow.
Yes.
Written by ordinary folks.
Yes.
And they get celebrities to read them.
Yes.
OK.
However, these are not ordinary letters.
They are elevated letters.
I see.
The one that Peter Dinklage read about Beavers is incredible.
I emailed it to Sean.
I was like, you have to watch this.
Um, I just love him anyway.
I'm obsessed with this now.
There are so many people here.
Here are just a few of the celebrities that I saw right away.
Olivia Coleman.
Oh, I know.
Damien Lewis, Woody Harrelson, Matt Berry, uh, Peter Capaldi, just to name a few.
Oh my.
Um, so, uh,
They read real letters from around the world on various subjects like responses to a university rejection letter.
So, someone got a rejection letter and they wrote back to the university.
Yes, that's what you do.
Letters to insurance companies.
Yes.
There was one that I watched that Olivia Coleman read about the fallible design of a salad dressing bottle.
Oh, she was writing to Paul Newman.
Love it.
It was, oh my gosh.
Check it out.
Okay.
You won't be disappointed.
I, it sounds like it's right up my alley.
Letters live on YouTube.
That is a great YouTube thing to add to my 50ish subscriptions on YouTube.
Excellent.
And, you know, listen to while I'm playing on my Kindle.
Yes.
You could, you don't have to watch this one.
Can I do it stoned? For sure.
Cool.
Might be even funnier.
Cause that's my new thing.
I'm a stoner now.
Oh my gosh, you're gonna have to keep low sugar treats around.
Just kidding.
Yeah, I eat the fruit.
That's good.
Anyway, what's your second bookmark? My second one is the Olympics.
So, I know by the time this airs, the Olympics will be over, which will make me really sad because I love the Summer Olympics.
But I'm just kind of hoping everyone got a chance to watch some of their favorite events.
Yeah. Sean and I have gotten sucked into rugby.
I had never watched rugby before.
Rugby sevens.
Do you know what's going on? So, we looked up rules.
Did you? Penalties.
It was awesome.
I always just watch rugby not knowing what the hell's happening and what the rules are and what the this or that is.
Like I start to get the hang of like, when they do this, then this happens and when.
Yes.
I've never really looked up the rules and so I'm always just completely lost and also astounded like what are they doing? I know.
One of the rules I found really interesting is it like football, you have to carry the ball to the end zone, but you must touch it to the ground.
And if you don't touch the ground with it, you don't score.
I didn't know that.
And then where you touch it to the point of it touching to the ground determines where you get to kick for the extra.
I figured that out.
Yes.
That's super interesting.
There's just, it was fascinating.
But the thing I really liked about it was they played rugby sevens and each half is seven minutes long.
The entire game is 14 minutes with a little bit of downtime in the middle.
Right, right.
So, the action is high for the entire game.
Yes.
And it's intense.
Yes.
I could not get enough of it.
Yeah, that's fun.
It was awesome.
It's kind of like the three on three basketball that they've had in the Olympics.
Yeah, except basketball's boring.
Well, I think basketball is extremely boring as well.
But I could handle watching that.
OK.
It started to come on, and I was like, no, I don't want to watch this.
But then there was nothing else good on at that time, and I was waiting for gymnastics that night.
Yeah.
And so I was like, oh, I'll just watch this while I'm waiting or I'll just have it on the background.
And Clint was sitting there.
And so I was like, he likes basketball.
Whatever.
I'll throw him a bone before gymnastics comes on, because he doesn't like gymnastics.
But I know.
So, we watched this basketball.
And I liked it.
I ended up liking it because there's not all this wasted time running up and down the court.
It's just it's a half court.
It's right there.
You have to move the shot clock is 12 seconds.
Oh, interesting.
So, you are like, you're moving, moving, moving.
And then you don't have to clear the ball.
Like if they get a, a basket, you don't have to go out of bounds and clear it.
Oh, you know what I'm saying? Yes.
I do know what you're saying.
You just take it.
And then you have to go up to the half court, right? And then
It's yours again.
Nice.
And the scoring is one point inside what's normally the three point line.
It's one point and outside the three point, three point line is two points.
Okay.
So,, and the first team to get to 21 wins or 12 minutes.
Okay.
So, it's, it's very condensed.
Yeah.
Now I would, I didn't even give it a chance.
I saw basketball, turn the channel.
Exactly.
That's what that was my instinct as well.
But it was good.
I kind of wish I had watched it.
And then I was like, oh, I, I, I could get into this and Clint's like, this is dumb.
That's what Sean said.
Because he's a purist.
Sean said they were swimming dumb Olympics.
How about break dancing? I saw, I saw they're going to add that.
Sean's going to be real mad.
They did add it this year.
Oh, they did? Yeah.
I thought it was the next Olympics.
Oh gosh.
Oh, that's hilarious.
Well, it's good to know about the basketball.
I will check that out next year.
That was interesting.
But my first love is volleyball.
Beach volleyball or court volleyball? Sometimes beach.
I like them both.
But I like the court volleyball better, the indoor volleyball.
I do too.
I will watch indoor volleyball all day long, because it also is fast paced.
It's like watching badminton.
It's like, pow, pow, pow.
Beach volleyball?
somebody's I'd rather have a smack in the face.
Really? I hate it.
It looks so hard.
I just hate it and I can't really tell you why but I just get so mad.
It like makes me mad when I see beach volleyball.
Yeah.
Interesting.
It's irrational.
There's something behind that.
There is.
There's probably something buried very deep.
We need to get to the heart of this.
It's probably my jealousy for how good they look in those swimsuits.
Might be and but you don't like hotness.
You don't like heat.
No.
And so I would imagine just watching it, you're like, oh, like you feel like you're gonna come out of your skin.
Hadn't even thought about that.
Cause they're so sweaty.
And you know they're getting sand all up in there.
Oh, everywhere.
The nooks and crannies, how do you get that out? Like powerful jets of water.
Bidets all pointed at your body in the shower.
Is there a bidet here? Is it, can I make it directional?
Or one of those fancy showers where they've got jets like that all around you and like Sean's dream shower Is it he wants water all around him? Nope? I said I would I'd panic Yeah, that's too much.
I'm gonna be able to get my head out and not have water on my face all the time maybe if they're all like shoulders are below but then you have to get but then there's one that's up high right for your head But then the ones that surround you are like lower.
So, they're just hitting your body fine.
Yeah, be fine I think I still don't think I'd like that if you're a beach volleyball player.
It's a must.
You're right Okay, one more thing about the Olympics sorry, no, it's fine.
I really enjoyed watching the archery
I don't know if you got to watch any of that.
I didn't watch any archery.
The distance that they are shooting is mind boggling.
I know.
It's all so...
All of it.
Probably even the break dancing.
I would be like, holy crap.
Of course.
I mean, can I break dance? No.
But I really enjoyed archery because I'm kind of good at archery.
Are you really? Yeah, I actually am.
I've never tried it.
Oh, I love it.
And I would suck at it because I have no upper body strength.
Well, I don't know.
You might.
We did like an archery thing at work last year.
We had like a group outing for this committee that I'm a part of.
Yes.
Because the girl that ran the committee was awesome.
And she was like, team building, let's go.
So, the city has an archery facility, an Olympic archery facility.
They do? Yep.
And it's at the Davis house, if anybody would like to check it out, South Springfield.
And so we went there and there's an indoor archery range and there are outdoor archery ranges.
So, we did the indoor archery range.
And then we found out that I shoot left handed.
Really? Even though I'm right-handed.
That is wild.
And so I kept shooting, shooting, shooting, and I was like, this is so frustrating.
And they're like, well, so they did a little test.
And they're like, hold your hands up like this and look through the triangle in your hands and then close one eye.
What I, so based on which eye I closed to look through the triangle, that told them whether or not I was left or right dominant.
And they said, your eye is left, your left eye dominant.
So, they made me switch.
and I started hitting bullseye after bullseye when I started shooting left-handed.
Wait, which one would I close? Well, do this.
Hold up your hands and make a triangle.
And what eye do you close? No, you gotta make it smaller, like this, yeah, yeah.
So, naturally, what eye did you close? This one.
So, you're right eye dominant.
Really, because my right eye is weaker than my left eye, so that's weird.
So, I would shoot right handed.
Based on what they told us.
So, anyway.
Well, based on how well you did after.
It was cool.
It was different.
It was super fun.
So, then once I was like, oh my gosh, I am good at this.
Oh, that's gonna be our next office outing, I think.
I'm gonna suggest archery.
Those are all my bookmarks.
All right, I've got two.
Let's hear it.
Well, three.
Okay.
Okay.
The first is The Change on Brit Box.
Sorry.
We're talking about your...
Not my change.
It's a show.
It's very relatable.
Brit Box.
It's on Brit Box and it's so good.
Okay.
It's a comedy.
It's about a woman who's just turned 50.
Okay.
And she's going through the change.
Oh, so it is about the change.
Okay.
She finds out that she's going through the change so that she finds out all these things that are happening to her, like how angry she is all the time and...
you know, this, that and other, it's the change.
And she's like, oh yeah, that makes sense.
So, she reclaims all the time that she's accrued around the house doing invisible work, what she calls invisible work, the loading the dishwasher, the unloading the dishwasher, the this, the that.
And she has kept a log for 20 years.
And she times it on her watch how long each task takes.
And so she's added up all the minutes and seconds and hours that she's done invisible work.
And she says, I'm reclaiming my time.
So, she says something like, she's got 44,000 minutes or whatever.
It's hilarious.
So, she gets on her motorcycle and she goes out into the woods where, I mean, not on her motorcycle in the woods, but she drives to a place where there's a forest.
And she goes to find.
A time capsule that she hid when she was a kid, when they would go to these woods, like to camp or to do whatever.
And so she's like, I'm going to go find that time capsule.
And she's just like on this mission, like, I'm going to do something that's just for me.
And it's just funny.
And she meets all these kooky people in this town that's close to this wooded area.
And it's good.
Okay, I think you would like that sounds amazing.
It's so funny.
And it's so relatable that like she would say, I've lost all my nouns.
You know, they say stuff like that.
And I'm like, oh, my gosh, I've lost all my nouns too.
And throughout the show, they're constantly like, now what's that thing called? Like they'll be in the middle of like a great, you know, rant or something, and they'll just stop.
And they'll be like, you know, the guy, he was in the movie with the guy, and they did the thing.
Oh my gosh.
It's like when I was trying to think of Gosford Park.
Yes.
And we sat here for 15 minutes.
It wasn't that long.
Oh, it felt though.
I edited that out.
I know no well, they don't know how long we sat here They didn't know how long we it took us to look it up either Well, it's because I feel defeated if I have to get in and look it up.
I know it's in my brain I know but once you go through the alphabet two or three times and it still isn't coming forget it.
Okay, Okay, and then.
My second one is wicked little letters.
Oh, that's on Netflix
and it stars Olivia Coleman.
Oh.
And Ralph Spall, or Rafe, I don't know if he, he was Wormtail in Harry Potter.
Oh really? Yeah.
That's his name? I thought his name was Timothy something.
Is it, oh it might be Timothy Spall.
I got the wrong first name.
Timothy Spall.
He's probably related to this Rafe guy.
Timothy Spall related?
Related.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
That's my next search.
And Gemma Jones, who is, you know, the mom from Rooja Jones.
It was amazing, but so much swearing.
But it's post-World War II Britain.
Oh.
In this kind of a proper town, you know what I mean? And so everybody's really buttoned up.
So, the juxtaposition, everybody's kind of still, even though it's after the war, they're kind of still innocent.
Yes.
And naive.
And so these letters, these poison pen letters that are circulating this town and going to different people are just scandalizing this whole town.
The juxtaposition of the cursing.
I mean, there was some really creative cursing in this movie.
Yeah.
Cover the doggie's ears.
Okay.
Okay.
And what was the name of that again? Wicked Little Letters.
Okay.
And it is based on a true story.
Oh my goodness.
It's so good.
I love that.
And the third bookmark would be gummies, but not just take gummies.
Yeah.
Take a gummy and then try to watch a true crime show.
I watched this British, no it wasn't British, German.
It was German, yes.
Yeah, I totally even changed what it was in my head.
I could not follow it, Cara.
My brain could not retain details.
Like they'd be talking to somebody, and I'd be like, who's this guy again? Like, you know how true crime shows are.
It was a documentary, so they're talking to one dude, like the...
like the detective and then they'll talk to the forensic person and then they'll do this and they were like talking about the victim and I was like, is that the victim's name? I thought the victim's name was...
Now fortunately I was by myself.
I wasn't saying any of this out loud, but it was an amazing psychological study.
Like for me, I felt like I was outside of my body kind of watching myself and it was ridiculous.
how stupid I was.
So, then I started getting tickled about how dumb I was.
And I was like, I'm gonna have to rewatch this entire episode of this documentary series.
Cause I am not getting any of this.
I think you gummied wrong.
What? You think I took too many? No, no, I think you did the wrong thing after taking your gummys.
Oh, I'm supposed to do something that requires zero brain power.
100%.
I think it's more like, like color, listen to some music while you color.
Oh, I lay in bed and listen to music and do nothing.
I would fall asleep if I just laid in bed.
Yeah.
Sleeping's the best.
Or just go outside and watch, you know, watch the sights, watch the cars go by.
Oh yeah.
I would just watch wildlife in the backyard, like squirrels and birds.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah, trying to watch a true crime documentary.
It was wild.
Yeah, that...
I mean, I'm impressed that you gave it a shot.
I was like determined to do it and I was having a really good time.
Well, that's all that matters.
Even though I knew, I was like, this makes no sense.
I even texted Cara in the middle of watching it and I was like, I have no idea what's going on.
This German true crime thing.
I got so tickled.
Now it was dubbed in English, so at least I didn't have to, like, read subtitles.
Oh, that's good.
It was dubbed, but still I was so.
That is hilarious.
I was so confused.
Also, I drank granola that night.
You drank granola.
I have, like, pouches of granola, you know? You did.
That's correct.
That's how you gummy correctly.
Yeah.
Just drink the granola.
It was right before bed too.
I was like, I'm going to go to bed, but I am so hungry.
And I found the pouch of granola and I drank it from the pouch.
Was it good? Well, I just couldn't get enough in like, you know, little handfuls or little fingerfuls.
I was like, this is stupid.
I'm just going to pour it into my mouth.
It was delicious.
It was the best granola I've ever had.
It’s so dumb.
Oh, God.
Anyway, welcome to the party.
There's nothing worse than listening to people talk about what they do in their high.
But tell us what you do when you're high.
Me? No, our DTH besties.
I know what you do.
I do nothing.
I go to sleep.
You lay in bed.
Now, I do want to stress that this is a legal activity.
Yes, it's legal here in Missouri.
For now.
You cannot have bodily autonomy in other ways, but you can get high.
It's true.
It's a wild world we live in.
It's kooky.
Cara.
Yes.
We are not here to talk about getting high.
No.
That's not this podcast.
Not this one.
Nope, there's lots of other ones.
Yes, there are.
Yeah.
So, if you like that kind of thing, I'm sure you can find it.
What are we here for? We are here to talk about our internet search histories for the week.
What? How do we do that? In The Reading of the Lists? The reading of the lists.
Yay.
Bum ba dum bum bum bum.
Pfft.
Excellent.
All right.
In this segment, we tell you our top three most interesting, funniest, most successful internet search histories.
No.
Internet searches of the week in list form.
Here's my list for the week.
Yes.
Number one, Brea saw it by accident before we started and she got the giggles.
Keith Morrison's age.
Number two.
Why does Germany translate to Almania in Spanish? I know.
And number three, why are BMWs called Beamers? Okay.
My list this week is North American countries list.
It's a short list.
Brummie, apotheosis definition.
Mm-hmm, okay.
Would you like to play a game? I do, I do, I do.
Let's play Search Me! Where we each pose one question to each other and see if she can answer based only on The Reading of the Lists.
Now, Brea.
Yeah, yeah.
This week you're playing for another item from the Burch family collection.
Excellent.
My red bowl, by the way, looks amazing on my coffee station.
Excellent.
It holds the bananas.
Yes.
Because it's not just a coffee station, it's a breakfast station.
That's nice.
Today though, you're playing for this Super Road Wiz.
Oh.

So, now this is pre GPS technology, but it's above maps.
So, when you were like, man, I wish there was super awesome technology and there were satellites in the air that can follow our cars and our phones and tell us where we're going.
Okay, so on the front of the box, it says highway data at your fingertips.
On the back, avoid problems and add safety.
Easy to use, large print keys, even larger character display, gives the best complete route between major cities, including distance, directions and driving time.
Tells you how far exit number, driving time and direction to any service along your route.
Hospitals, gas, food, motel.
It even gives you 24 hour food and 24 hour gas.
Like this was back when places shut down.
This thing, it looks like a calculator.
Yes.
Like you would spell boobies out on it.
Right, exactly.
Exactly.
Let's see, what else does it tell you? Plan ahead, it tells you how far your next interstate and enables you to find distance to services along the next highway.
It includes toll-free 800 numbers for motels, plus phone numbers for highway patrol, weather, road conditions, road construction, and tourist information.
Two-year guarantee includes batteries and it's updatable.
How did no, how, wait a minute, why didn't everybody have one of these? I don't know.
I guarantee you this was a Beverly purchase cause she was all about technology.
So, I got this thing out and I had to open it up, but I did get it to work.
And so it works now.
And here's the booklet cause Roy and Beverly kept every manual and booklet and receipt for.
Everything they ever bought that's been fun for you.
It's been really fun.
I was like Sean do you want to play with this and he's like no? So, down here is your begin button So, anyway, this is what's up for grabs.
Oh my gosh.
That is exciting.
Isn't it fun? That is some 90s pre-waves pre Maps.
Oh, there's the registration card is still in the box.
Excellent.
I'm gonna register register that thing.
Yeah
That would be funny.
I want all the benefits from registering.
You know what the weird thing is about this? It's all about us road data.
Yeah.
And it's made in China.
Of course it is.
Duh.
All right.
That's where they got all the metals.
You're right.
All the rare earth.
Yes.
Rare earth, whatever stuff they were called.
Well, here's your question.
Yeah.
Which of my searches taught me something so surprising that I literally yelled.
What? Oh.
Now to remind our DTH besties out there playing along, my list is Keith Morrison age, why does Germany translate to Almania in Spanish, and why are BMWs called Beamers?
This is a hard question.
Yeah, it kind of is.
Because it could be any of these things.
Well, maybe not Keith Morrison's age.
Or could it? He said it just like him.
Did I really sound like him? Yes! Or could it? Oh shoot, if it is that and I don't guess it.
I'm looking at you.
I'm going to guess Keith Morrison's age.
That's right.
Is he that old? No.
Well, yes, he is.
But that's not why I yelled, what? OK.
So, you and I talked about this in episode 44, and you were begging him to stay healthy.
Yes.
Because you love him.
I do.
And so we were talking about his age.
I looked it up.
And first of all, he's 77.
Big deal.
That seems about right.
Yeah.
77.
I'm going to give you just a little bit of information in case there's somebody out there who does not know who Keith Morrison is.
Right.
All right.
He's most well known for the TV show Dateline, which first aired in 1992 with Jane Pauley and Stone Phillips as the anchors.
Do you remember that? Yes.
This is such a throwback.
I'm probably gonna have dreams about Stone Phillips tonight.
I had a mad crush on Stone Phillips.
He's a cutie.
And I was like, I want to be a journalist because I want to hobnob with people like Stone Phillips.
People we worked with weren't like Stone Phillips.
I mean, they were nice in their own way.
Yes.
Some of them.
Well, I did a little look see into his history and he like rose to fame.
Like he got a hoity toity job fast.
Yeah.
His story was really interesting, but we're not here to talk about Stone.
And Jane Pauli, her story's interesting as well.
Agreed, agreed.
Okay, back to Keith.
Keith joined the show in 1995.
What? So, 25 years with Dateline.
Yeah.
Or 29 years.
Excuse me.
Today, so Dateline really started the true crime trend way back in the day.
And today they have 11 number one podcasts with 1.4 billion downloads.
Yeah.
Billion with a B.
Almost as many downloads as we have for our podcast.
Correct.
I mean, that's what they're striving for.
Right.
Absolutely.
Keith has been married to his wife, Suzanne, for 43 years.
Here is where I screamed out loud.
Okay.
And you probably know this.
I don't.
They've raised six children together, including Matthew Perry.
Keith Morrison is Matthew Perry's stepdad.
My brain just blew up.
Right? Oh my gosh.
So, Keith Morrison and Matthew Perry's mom got married when Matt was 10.
10 years old.
Cause Matthew Perry's dad is the old Spice Man.
His biological father.
What? Remember the old spice guy in the commercial, the old commercials? The sexy old spice guy.
Oh my.
In the old commercials with the cable knit sweater.
Are you serious? On the yacht.
I didn't know that.
That was his dad.
Okay.
Well, Keith Morrison is his stepdad.
Holy shit.
From age 10.
Oh, poor sweet baby angel, Keith Morrison.
Yes, exactly.
So,, so Matthew Perry passed away in October 2023.
And so when I was researching Keith Morrison, I found a portion of a podcast hosted by Hoda Kotb, Kotb, Kotb, Kotb, Kotb.
I think that's right.
You're right.
Her last name is very hard to say.
I'm sorry, Hoda.
Hoda, we just know her as Hoda.
Yeah.
Cause she's our best friend.
First name basis.
I mean, we go to brunch.
So, she does, she has a podcast.
And so she interviewed Keith Morrison.
And I don't, it wasn't about Matt Perry.
It was just, she was just talking to Keith.
Cause she interviews people all the time.
And he's one of her colleagues.
Yes.
So, she was on Dateline.
And so they're actually really good friends.
Yeah.
Um, but it came up the subject of Matthew Perry.
And so she talked to him about it.
It was, it was so touching.
So, I really encourage everybody to watch this episode.
It was like, it was just so touching.
It's season five, episode four of making space with Hoda Kotb.
Okay.
So, he talked about, um, he also talked about the Matthew.
Harry Foundation that...
You're gonna make me cry.
Cara! She's making me cry first.
She started crying first and then I got choked up and now she's...
I didn't start crying.
I teared up.
You were tearing up.
I was just tearing up.
I tear up all the time.
I know.
But when I see someone else cry...
I'm not crying.
You are tearing up.
I'm only tearing up.
The reason I'm tearing up...
According to your...definition, I am not crying.
Okay.
Well, I'm crying now.
So, the reason I'm tearing up is because I'm remembering it.
Pfft.
It was so touching! Stop it! I'm sorry! Okay.
Apparently, Matthew Perry's death is still raw to me! It's not funny, but it is funny! I just didn't think I was gonna cry.
I told myself I wasn't gonna cry.
I wasn't gonna do this.
When I talk about the Matthew Perry Foundation.
Do you need me to read this part for you? No, I'm going to get through it.
Okay.
The mission of the foundation is to help people who are struggling with addiction.
And if you would like more information about the foundation or you would like to support a very worthy cause, go to matthewperryfoundation.org Oh, you did it.
Seriously, that that web episode.
Where did you find this?
It's on YouTube.
No, it was on.
Like thetodayshow.com.
Oh, yeah.
OK.
Because because Hoda does so many other things outside of the morning show.
Yes.
They had they just showed a clip of her podcast for that week.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
I'm just I'm bawling.
So, anyway, it was just an excerpt.
It wasn't the whole podcast, but it was just.
Cara, you've got to get a hold of yourself.
I'm telling you.
Oh my gosh.
I can't stop thinking about it.
Okay.
It's like every time Caleb talked about Dear Franky after we watched that movie.
Oh shoot.
And there was this kid and they...
I keep thinking about it.
I keep picturing Keith.
Just picture Caleb crying about...
I can't. Oh my god, I can't believe I lost it.
I have to edit so much of this out.
Why? I've got mascara all over my face.
All right, my sources for that were IMDB, NBC, Apple Podcast, The Today Show, Dateline.com, and the Matthew Perry Foundation.
Perry Foundation.
I'm just kidding.
Damn, will I get my super road whiz calculator? Let's focus on the super road whiz.
This is amazing.
I thought that you...

like that or you might hate it.
You know who's really gonna love it? I would assume Jackie.
Yes she would like it but Peyton will too.
He's gonna go wild over it.
They're probably gonna fight over it.
It'd be great.
Oh my gosh my face.
You look fine.
I look like my grandma just died.
It's gonna be alright.
But it was Matthew Perry.
I know man it's it is still raw.
I can't believe it even happened.
I can't either.
And that Keith Morris sent us his step-dad.
I know.
But seriously, look up the Old Spice Man.
Matthew Perry's that Old Spice Man.
That's going to be next week.
And then she'll start crying again.
I will.
I'm not looking enough.
Oh, they look so much alike.
Oh my gosh.
Save us.
OK.
Save us.
Cara, today.
Yes.
For Search Me.
Is it a box of Kleenex? No.
But I think that this will help you, actually.
Good.
You're playing for.
What is that? This affirmation stone.
Shut up! Oh my gosh.
It's like a magic eight ball, but it tells you nice things.
My energy is magnetic.
I am a force for good.
That is shake and be blessed.
Shake and be blessed.
This is incredible.
I look beautiful when I cry.
That's what it's gonna say.
Oh my, I don't, but thank you.
Okay, oh, okay, I love this.
Okay, are you ready? What is my question? Oh.
Oh my goodness.
Your question is.
Excuse me.
You're excused.
Considering that I just won this, this is really apropos.
Your question is, which search proves just how geographically challenged I am? Again, DTH Besties, your choices.
Our North American countries list, Brummie or Apotheosis.
I can't say that word right.
You did pretty good I think.
Apotheosis.
Well, my gut's telling me to go with North American countries list.
Yes.
Yeah.
Because people.
There's three countries in North America, and everybody knows this.
Yes.
I mean, come on.
Right? But you looked it up.
I looked it up because I was always taught that Mexico was part of.
Central America.
Oh.
Not North America.
That's what I was taught in school.
Good old US education system.
One of the two countries in North America.
Correct.
One of the two or three countries in North America.
So, North America is a diverse continent.
No.
Yes.
It has a lot of geographical areas and climates and dialects and all kinds of things.
But it's composed of three primary countries, the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
These nations span a vast geographical area from the Arctic Circle all the way down to the tropics and encompass a wide range of cultures, languages, and economies.
Additionally, here we go.
Are you ready? This is why I really looked it up.
I am so ready.
Central America and the Caribbean islands are often included in the broader definition of North America.
Oh, really? Bringing even greater cultural and geographic diversity to the region.
I wonder why.
Why would that be considered? Why would someone? I don't know.
Okay.
I like it.
It makes North America bigger.
Right and better.
My sources were World Factbook and Wikipedia.
And now I have a super road whiz that I can use to traverse the highways and byways of North America.
And 800 numbers to call the motel ahead of time.
Correct.
And I have this affirming device you do tell me it's gonna be alright.
It's gonna be okay.
People pass away all the time.
It's okay to cry about people who've passed away who have really impacted your life so much.
Did I don't even know? Yeah.
Don't talk about it.
Okay.
Well, get me started all over again.
It'll be just as awkward as our transition to the next segment.
Oh, what could you be talking about? I'm talking about the segment called Shared History.
Oh.
And you have a better transition to this segment than I do.
You always say something so good.
Oh, do I? Yeah.
I don't think I do.
Oh yeah, you do.
It's always so awkward.
No, and you say something like,
We talk about what we searched and what we learned and...
Oh, that part.
Yeah.
Where I describe what the shared history segment is.
Yeah, I don't even have that online.
We tell you, our DTH besties, what we searched this week, why we searched it, and what we learned.
Exactly.
It's such a good transition.
Oh, thanks.
I like it.
It's like I'm a writer or something.
Yeah, if I was smart, about, I don't know, 46 episodes ago, I would have gotten it straightened out.
It's in the rundown template.
on DTH, the Google Drive.
See, I abandoned the template.
If you'd love to use that template.
I will check that out, yes.
I have improved it multiple times.
Oh, okay, great.
Because I am a template obsessive.
Okay.
Are you ready? Yes.
I'm ready.
What's your first search? Okay, my first search is, why is a BMW called a Beamer? Now, strictly speaking, it's incorrect to call a BMW car a Beamer.

The correct nickname for a BMW automobile is Bimmer.
Mm-hmm.
B-I-M-M-E-R.
I would love to tell you how I know this, but it's such an annoying story.
Okay.
That I shall not bore you all.
Are you sure? But let me just tell you that car people and people who are really obsessive about cars and really like brand loyal and proud of their cars are the most obnoxious people on the planet.
Moving on.
Okay.
So, Beamer spelled B-E-E-M-E-R actually only refers to BMW motorcycles.
Oh.
The nickname Beamer comes from Great Britain in the 60s and was used to distinguish BMW racing motorcycles from the racing motorcycles manufactured by British company BSA, whose motorcycles were nicknamed Beezers.
Oh, good Lord.
Brea is so annoyed.
I'm pretty annoyed by this the nickname Beamer quickly caught on in other English-speaking countries and over time the alternative spelling of B-E-A-M-E-R emerged No one can confirm if that is referring to high beams on the car or not What about my high beams? Not those either.
Oh cuz it's kind of cold in here.
I think it feels really good The nickname Bimmer originated in the 70s when a magazine for BMW fans called Bimmer was published.
Bimmer won out as the preferred nickname for BMW cars and it has been embraced by car fans, the people that annoy Brea, all over the world and including Germany.
A whole magazine about...
A whole magazine and you know what? I should have looked up to see if that thing is still alive and kicking yet.
Didn't even think about it until just now.
Probably is somebody looking up and call us in the nineties.
Bimmer was joined by another nickname for BMW automobiles in China.
Baoma Baoma Baoma, which literally means precious horse.
You're a precious horse.
You precious horse.
Apparently for generations, um, in Chinese culture, horses have been regarded as sacred creatures of high value and a status symbol for the world.
So, the BMW assumed its value as a status symbol in Chinese culture as well.
And the BMW brand in particular is associated with prosperity and wealth.
Fast fact.
BMW is short for...
Do you know what BMW is short for? Um...
Oh wait, wait, wait, wait.
Okay.
Wait.
Berlin Motorworks.
No.
Oh.

It's German, right? It's Bavarian, which is a state in Germany.
Yes.
But BMW, oh, here we go.
Oh, this is gonna be good.
Stand for...
This is gonna be good.
(random German words)
How do you like that? I love it.
That's my Bavarian.
Um, so my sources for that were BMW.com, Julian Mikkel on YouTube, hashtag English with Julian and autobest.co.in.
Okay.
Do you ever look up Julian Mikkel? Oh, all the time.
I love his YouTube station.
I just have it bookmarked.
I mean, I'm subscribed to it.
He is awesome.
Oh, of course.
I could listen to him read the phone book.
Yeah.
Or anything at all.
Yeah.
What are you doing? Are you being serious? Yes.
Oh, okay.
Are you not, do you hate Julie McKill secretly? No, I, I, I was just making sure that you weren't mocking me.
No, no, no, no.
I love, I use it.
I use it every single time.
I need to pronounce something cause he's so good.
Even though I think he's French.
Okay.
So, I was mocking you.
Are you serious?
Oh my Lord.
I have no idea who that person is.
Oh my gosh, you're such a dork.
Well, well.
You're taking me so seriously.
Joke's on you because it's really helpful.
Okay, I was writing down, I was writing down title ideas for this episode.
Cause we get to the end of this.
It was so distracting.
And we're so, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
And we're so hungry.

But anyway, yeah, so I was like, oh, I heard something and it just, it spoke to me.
And so I was like, oh, that would be a good part of the title, okay.
Did you get it? Yeah, but then by the time I got done fumbling and worrying about distracting you and blah, blah, blah, then I forgot what it was.
You have forgotten what it is? I forgot the exact phrase.
What was I talking about? It was about beamers.
It's something about high beams, but.
Anyway, moving on.
You know what? Oh my gosh, was it Precious Horse? Oh, it might have been.
Baoma? I think it was Precious Horse.
So, from Beamers...
Yes? Or Bimmers.
Bimmers.
Get it right.
To Brummies, are you ready? So, ready.
Okay.
I was doing a logic puzzle this week like I do.
Yep.
Every morning.
I had to get some large print logic puzzles.
Ah, large print! I know.
It's so terrible.
But aren't they like it's so like ah, oh my gosh so much better.
It's so much easier.
I'm not like Like rubbing my eyes.
I need more light.
Geez Louise But I was doing a logic puzzle and it had a bunch of UK cities as part of the solution.
Okay So, there was Birmingham, Nottingham, Devonshire
What, that's not a city.
Devon is a city.
Okay.
Devonshire is the county.
See, it's so difficult.
Anyway, I'm, you know what? I just told you.
I'm also, yes.
The geography is awful.
Me too.
I can't remember names of things, whatever.
So,, one of the clues was, you had, well, you had to match a person to where they were from, and something, something, something.
And one of the clues was the Brummie blah blah blah blah blah.
And I was like, well, that's supposed to tell me where they're from.
Uh oh.
But I don't know.
Yes.
And Birmingham seemed like the obvious choice.
Right.
Just because it starts with the same letter.
But you never know with UK jargon and nicknames.
They're weird sometimes.
I know, cor blimey.
Right.
And...
there's all this cockney rhyming slang and stuff so I was like maybe it's cockney rhyming slang and I don't know.
Yes.
I did not want to get it wrong because the worst thing is to start your day thinking you're a dumbass.
And if you fail on your first logic puzzle of the day, you think you're a dumbass.
And it just sets the tone.
So, I'm like very like dialed in on the logic puzzle.
It's pretty intense for so early in the morning.
It really sets the standard for my day.
That's a lot of pressure on a little puzzle, Brea.
But they're usually fun and easy.
Anyway, so I had to look it up.
And that might be kind of cheating.
But at the same time, anybody else doing that puzzle from the UK would know what it is without having to look it up.
Unfair advantage.
And it would be just like, this was an obvious clue.
But for me, it was like, I have no idea.
So, a Brummie is a person who comes from Birmingham.
I was right.
Good job.
But I didn't want to chance it.
You don't guess on logic puzzles.
You only do what you absolutely know.
It's a familiar and friendly term used to describe residents of this vibrant city.
I took that directly from somewhere, obviously.
The origins of Brummie.
It's derived from Birmingham.
Somehow.
Okay.
Over time, the city's name was shortened and transformed into the affectionate nickname.
Oh, so they don't call it Birmingham anymore? Of course they do.
They call it Birmingham, but.
They also call it Brummie.
OK.
This linguistic evolution is common in many places in the UK and reflects the city's identity and character.
Now, it's often also used to describe the accent of the Birmingham people.
Oh.
Now, what TV show series?
Fairly long running series.
Did you watch? Uh oh.
I think you got all the way through it.
Maybe you didn't do the last season.
Took place back in the 20s and 30s.
They had brummy accents.
Oh, jeez.
Peaky-blinders.
Oh.
Ha, nope.
I watched the whole thing.
Did you watch the very last season, too? Everything, yes.
Was I right to skip the last season? Yes, you were.
Okay.
It's like Dexter.
No desire to watch that last season.
Exactly.
Or any of the reboots or whatever.
Whatever, Dexter, you had your chance.
Yeah, go away.
You jumped the shark.
Forget ya.
You're outta here.
Anyway.
They have Brummie accents.
Oh.
In  Peaky Blinders.
OK.
Interesting, eh? Got it.
It's a diverse city, though, with a mix of accents and dialects.
OK.
So,.
Now, where is that located? Oh, geez.
It's a northern city.
Oh! So, I wonder if they say Cor Blimey.
I don't know.

53:35
Let us know, Birmingham people.
Yeah, you Burmese.
See, we have a Birmingham.
Yes, we do.
In the United States.
Alabama.
Birmingham, Alabama.
I mean, we really hit that ham.
We do.
Because we're Americans.
You can't.
Hit the ham.
We hit the ham.
Hard.
John Ham?
This word association.
John Ham.
I heart him so much.
Ham and bubbly.
Yes.
I have to go on a tangent for a second.
Please do.
About John Ham.
Because I also watched Unfrosted this week.
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
Wasn't that so good?
You guys, if you have not watched Unfrosted with Jerry Seinfeld and a bajillion other people including Jon Hamm, Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, just everybody.
Every American actor is in this movie.
And it is hilarious.
Amy Schumer.
Oh yeah.
I mean.
I was laughing so hard and I wasn't even stoned when I watched it and I was laughing really hard.
It was so good.
Anyway, John Ham's in it.
That's a whole other thing.
Birmingham, Alabama, Birmingham, Birmingham, Northern England.
Okay.
My sources were Birmingham Live, We Love Brum, and Google Gemini.
All right.
Okay.
My next search is strangely similar to that.
Really? Because it is, why does Germany translate to Albania in Spanish? And so it's kind of, well, just listen.
OK.
I'll get you there.
Yeah, it's geographic.
It's geographic.
This is the geography show.
And it's talking about the names that people call Germany.
OK.
So, Sean and I were watching one of the Olympic soccer games.
where Germany was one of the teams playing.
And we accidentally.
Oh, I love it.
I love it already.
We accidentally recorded.
The Spanish version? Yes, the Tilemanteau version.
Awesome.
And so of course, and you know, anyway, we watched it.
And, but the announcers were speaking Spanish, obviously.
And we noticed that they kept referring to Germany as Almania, but we didn't know why.
And Sean, Sean said it first.
He said, why do they keep calling them Almania? It's weird.
So, it turns out in many cases, the names,
Different languages have given to Germany are a direct indicator of the particular Germanic tribe Its speakers first came in contact with okay like back in the day.
Yeah.
Yeah um Germany is You and I we're not good at geography So, i'm gonna i'm telling you germany is geographically positioned to come in contact with a lot of different peoples Yes, it's in europe.
It's like the crossroads of europe.
Uh-huh
It's sort of.
It's really smack dab in the middle there.
Yes, exactly.
Of Western Europe.
Yes, exactly.
For instance, the Romans referred to the region as Germania.
Right.
Which is thought to come from the name that the nearby Gauls, a group of Celtic people, gave to the Germanic tribe across the river from them, the Germani.
And that's spelled G-E-R-M-A-N-I.
Oh, okay.
This name is thought to have meant neighbor or men of the forest.
Oh.
Which makes them sound really handsome.
And a little scary.
Rah! I'm a man of the forest.
Do you wear plaid? Now, this doesn't account for why certain Latin-derived languages like French and Spanish refer to Germany as Almania and Alamong.
Because this name derives from the Alamani.
another Germanic tribe that was based near modern-day Switzerland, which is very far from Spain and France.
Correct.
So, no one's really quite sure about that one, how that came about.
In northern Europe, Germany's neighbors were interacting with the Saxons, so they named the region Saksa, with a K.
Okay.
Today, Saxa is the Finnish name for Germany.
Oh.
most Slavic languages called Germany Nemetz.
Nemetz.
N-E-M-E-T-S, which means something close to the silent ones or unclear or hard to understand.
Yeah, uh-huh.
That tracks.
But it's thought that this was just a way of saying those who do not speak like us.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Various Native American tribes also encountered Germans and the Navajo name
for Germany translates to metal cap wearer land.
Like a foil hat wearer? Aliens.
The Plains Cree translation means among the steel helmets.
Okay, I see.
And the Lakota translation is bad speaker land.
You hawk loogie, you bad speaker land.
Oh my gosh.
My only source was babble.com.
Well, that is fascinating.
I thought so too.
I always find it interesting what countries call themselves versus what other countries call them.
Yepers.
And I always think, how arrogant to call a country something different than what they call themselves.
For example.
An easy example would be France.
We call them France.
But in France, they are, they would, well, first of all, they would say France or whatever.
But why don't we, why don't we pronounce it the way they do? So, I think I have maybe some insight into that.
Okay.
Germany calls themselves Deutschland.
Right.
But
What I was reading about that is that that's just the nickname they've given to themselves.
Like that's what they call themselves.
That's how they refer to themselves.
And they don't expect other countries to call them that.
So, what do they call their country? Just their real name? Deutschland.
Then that's what everybody should call them.
I don't think I don't know.
I mean, look at this search, for example, everybody has their own way of explaining.
But why? Once you learn from somebody that'd be like me saying Hi, Cara.
How are you Cara? How you doing today, Cara? And then you say actually my name is Cara and I say, okay Cara, but I like Cara better that's kind of apples to oranges though.
Why? Because it's not a different language that you're just mispronouncing my name.
It's it's not a different name.
Maybe personal names aren't a good a good yeah maybe not example but I just think like once you know what the actual people call themselves like that should be what everybody calls them.
But I wouldn't call Germany Deutschland because the way I was reading about it, I felt like that was something personal to them and they call themselves that as like, that's just a personal thing that they have chosen to call themselves.
And that that's not for public.
Yeah.
Maybe they would take an affront to someone who doesn't live there calling them Deutschland.

I'm basing that on what I read.
Yeah.
I may be wrong about that.
I mean, what do people call the United States? Well, they call it different things.
Yeah.
It's annoying.
I don't care.
It should just be the United States or the US or whatever.
I don't think I really care.
I kind of do.
Make a difference, Brea.
I mean, no, I kind of don't care what people call the US.
But I feel like, as an American, I just feel like it's really presumptuous that we're always and not just us.
Like you said, every country does it.
They have their own different names for different countries.
But I feel like it's just so presumptuous to decide that you're going to call something something different than what the native people call it.
Like, we should go with what they say.
What if I can't say it? What if it's the French word and it just sounds so ugly in my mouth? Too bad.
Figure it out.
France.
Figure it out.
You should say France.
Deutschland.
No, you don't have to say it with that accent, but we should pronounce it like France instead of France.
You see what I'm saying? I think you care too much.
Okay.
That makes sense.
Maybe I should eat a gummy and think about it.
To myself.
Write it on a post-it, take a gummy and lay on bed and look at it.
Okay.
And be like, perfect.
Do I care about this? Are you ready to learn about apotheosis? Sweet.
Yes.
This was another logic puzzle word that I had to look up because it was part of the clue.
Okay.
And I was like, well, I don't know what that means.
So, that's not helpful to me.
Anyway, I won't even tell you what it was about.
I think it was about super villains or something like that.
Okay.
And one of them thought they were a god.
Ew.
And they said, so the logic puzzle said, apotheosis is difficult or something like that, or expensive.
I can't remember what the thing was.
It's the elevation of someone to divine status or the rank of a god.
It can also refer to the climax or highest point of something.
Like the apex, which you would just say apex.
You wouldn't go through all this whole apotheosis, hardness.
Here are some examples in popular culture.
Oh, yes please.
Superman.
Okay.
In many iterations Superman is depicted as an alien who is seen as a godlike figure by humans.
His elevation to a near divine status is an example of apotheosis.
Okay, Hercules, the Greek mythological hero is often portrayed as achieving godhood after completing his 12 labors.
Another myth that I don't give a shit about.
12 labors.
Greek myths again.
I did that today at work.
Right? I've done a quarter of 12 labors in childbirth.
So, I'm a quarter Hercules.
Good job.
Yes.
OK.
The Matrix.
Yes.
In a sense, the Matrix itself could be seen as an apotheosis of human technology.
Ooh.
This is deep.
Reaching a peak of artificial intelligence and control over reality.
Yes.
Those are my favorite movies.
I know.
That and Fast and the Furious.
Those are not my favorite movies.
Those are my favorite bad movies.
Oh, I see.
Along with Twister.
Oh.
We need to talk about that.
Twisters? Yes.
I heard it was not a bad movie.
It is not a bad movie.
It's a horrible movie.
Oh no.
Someone's going to beat you up about this.
It was terrible.
Someone's going to fight you for it.
I don't care.
It was terrible.
In fact, I got up and went to the bathroom.
I never used the bathroom.
at movies that I pay for.
Right, because even if it's bad, like you paid for it.
I got up, I went to the bathroom, and I saw one of the servers, one of the attendants, and I said, how much longer is left in this thing? I literally, and she's like, oh, you've got about 20 minutes, I was like, oh! Gotta be kidding me.
She probably thought your husband dragged you there or something.
She, I don't know.
All I did, I feel sorry for them that had to see it more than once.
Oh my, Caleb liked it.
I think that I just really like I've got a special place in my heart for the one from 1996.
Yes, the original.
Yeah.
And it was just campy enough.
Yeah.
And the effects are still good.
This one was so stupid.
It was stupid.
All right.
Well, you and Caleb can fight about it next time you see each other.
I'll fight you, Caleb.
Okay.
The final pop culture example of apotheosis is Lord of the Rings.
Character Gandalf undergoes a transformation.
Remember when he becomes, he goes from Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White.
Yes.
He's more powerful and godlike after his transformation.
That's right.
And he's even like, he doesn't realize who, what he has become or who he used to be.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Crazy.
Nerd alert.
And he's like glowing.
Yes.
He looks beautiful too, his white beard.
Oh, I love those movies.
I do too.
My sources were Wikipedia, Britannica, and Google Gemini.
Because I asked Google Gemini, give me some pop culture references of apotheosis.
That's a great idea.
And it was like, well, here you go.
Stand by, lady.
Yeah, I didn't have to look all that up myself.
That's really great.
I, I love that you put the matrix in there and it's a really great example actually.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sean and I quoted the matrix the other day in the car.
So, probably you matrix nerds out there, we were on the highway.
Oh, we were going to the Alamo as a matter of fact, and this car merged onto the highway.
And right after that, the exact same car merged onto the highway.
They were the same color, same model, everything.
And I was like. 
Oh my gosh, and Sean said something's changed in the Matrix.
Ha ha ha ha!
It was awesome, you had to be there.
So, these are the conversations you have with movie references.
Today, oh and yesterday, I made a reference with one of our IT people and I said, you can do it.
So, you guys have these very cerebral deep references that make you think, and I'm just, I've become a stoner, Cara.
Isn't that Rob Snyder? You could do it.
Yeah, but I think it's Cheech and Chong too.
Oh.
I think so.
I think it was originally Cheech.
Oh.
Or Chong.
I can't remember my time.
It was before my time.
Oh my gosh.
I have never seen a single Cheech and Chong movie.
I have not either.
Never.
Then how do you know that phrase? Because it's just one of those things.
It's just a pop culture thing.
