Look at my bruise.
What did you do to yourself? I haven't got a clue.
It's almost gone now, but look how yellow it is.
It's very yellow.
It was probably a dog, if I had to guess.
I was gonna say sleep injury.
Well they're just bags of antlers, and so every angle they can hurt you.
They're bags of antlers.
They are.
They're so pointy.
That is a really good description.
Welcome to episode 66 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 just remembered you saying a couple of episodes ago, why do I always read this? And I was just sitting and so I was- Am I self-conscious about having to read it? I was reading it and I was like, I really don't have to read this.
But then I couldn't stop because then I was gonna mess up.
Right.
Creature of habit.
I get it.
It's ridiculous.
I totally get it.
Oh, well thanks.
Because then you second guess yourself.
Yes, yes.
It's the best, what I do the best is second guess myself about everything.
Like, you know, in church, when you say the Lord's Prayer, like, you know, that thing, right, you could say it with your eyes closed, but if you start out reading it.
You can't suddenly look away.
You have to read it all the way through.
Well, in like the Sundays when we do the Nicene Creed.
Oh, yeah.
It's just a little bit different.
Instead of the Apostles Creed.
The Apostles Creed.
Yes.
And so now I'm old lady enough that I'm like, I just got to read it.
Yeah.
I just got to read it.
Whatever.
Riveting.
Sorry.
Listen, church stories are the best.
Which pew do you guys sit in? Same one every week if you're a Lutheran.
Dude.
I sat in a pew.
I got to church on Christmas Eve before my parents and before my aunt and I thought I was sitting in the right pew.
Yeah.
I was sitting too far forward and it threw them off because my aunt walked in and she goes, whoa.
I'm supposed to sit behind you guys, but if I sit behind you, I'm going to be in front of Allison and that's not right.
That's not where we're supposed to be.
Yeah.
Then she's going to be in someone else's spot.
I had to get up and move.
Yeah.
Because my parents walked in and they said, that's the wrong pew.
Yeah.
Are you kidding me right now? Yes.
It's Christmas Eve.
We're not at church when we normally are anyway.
Let's shake it up.
They wouldn't let me.
No.
Sean and I had to get up and move back one pew and all was right with the world.
Mom said, she said, look, you have to, the gal that sits in front of us normally, she's like, she knows that she sits next to the window, we sit next to the vent.
Oh my Lord.
Oh my gosh.
Dear Lord Jesus.
These pews.
You are going to be that person.
I have to be because my parents are still alive.
Right, but even when they're not, you'll take up the mantle.
I think I probably will sit wherever I want to.
Do you think so? Yeah, because I like shaking it up.
I like sitting on the complete opposite side sometimes.
But then you're going to be in someone else's pew.
They're going to have to get over it.
Oh my gosh.
You are going to revolutionize your whole church.
I'm going to get excommunicated.
Get out of here, lady.
You can't sit in the right pew.
You're out of here.
Do you not know the rules of Lutheranism? All right.
Anyway, I have to tell you something crazy.
What I Had I was really hungry this morning and I got to work and I make like I made this little just Breakfast sandwich there and I ate that and I had a cup of coffee Then I had to have another cup of coffee and I have not been hungry the rest of the day Yeah, I'm not even hungry right now.
Wow What is going on caffeine? I guess I mean, I normally don't drink two cups of coffee.
I'm a one cup person.
Sometimes I have to if I stay up too late or it's been a hard day.
But I did have two cups of coffee.
I bet I know what it was.
What was it? I drank my first cup of coffee with the breakfast sandwich and a decongestant that has Sudafedrin in it.
That's what it is.
That stuff, I could live on it.
It kills my appetite.
That's what it was.
I totally forgot I took that.
Oh.
I woke up with the worst sinus headache this morning.
I must try this pseudoephedrine.
It's called Aleve D, is the one I use.
It's the best, don't let anyone take you astray.
Do you have to talk to a pharmacist to get it? You do.
Yeah.
But it's okay, it's a 12 hour pill.
And it is really good, boy.
It's like sticking a vacuum to your sinuses and it's just.
Yeah.
Wow.
It's awesome.
Okay.
My terrible tear.
Like it was this headache was so bad.
I almost called in sick to work Wow, it was bad, but I knew if I took the Aleve D I would be fine.
I was really congested this week Yeah, I had a migraine in fact on Wednesday It was terrible and then And then I woke up with it today.
And today I'm gonna play my old lady card.
It's the front moving through.
Yes.
Every time there's a front moving through, the calloways go to their bed.
Be like, oh, my nerves.
I must take to my bed.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It's true though.
It is true.
Anytime a front comes through now, I can feel it.
It's super annoying.
I feel it in...
this is terrible.
I feel it in my bones.
I feel it in my joints actually, in my arthritis.
Oh.
Yeah.
It always attacks my head.
And I'm like, oh my gosh, this is what all the old people were always talking about.
Would I rather want my bones or my head to hurt? I don't know.
Because the headaches I get from fronts moving through, they can be very bad.
Well, they can be migraines.
Right, I would say I'd rather have my bones hurt.
I think so too.
Because you can't concentrate when your head hurts.
Uh-uh.
Unless you get some old meth running through the blood.
Meth with coffee, I'm there.
You're in the right place.
OK, anyway.
Moving on to bookmarks.
Yeah, I don't really have a bookmark today.
Oh, well you just did one for a leave D I kind of did you're right.
Yeah a leave D try it Um, but I will say that i'm very excited about this weekend it's Now for past bria and past cara, we already know what happened.
It's the weekend before a martin luther king jr Yes.
Holiday.
Do you get that day off? No.
I think we discuss this every single year because I can't remember.
I do not.
You do not get that holiday.
That is a cry in shame.
It really is.
I do get that holiday.
You would have gotten it anyway, wouldn't you? No, you're not a federal employee.
No.
Because it's inauguration day too, which is sacrilegious.
They get Inauguration Day as a federal holiday? They got Jimmy Carter's funeral off.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Federal employees, yeah.
I know.
Oh my gosh, I didn't know that.
Well, I'm excited because it's a three-day weekend.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to rub it in.
I apologize.
My child has a three-day weekend too.
Oh.
Mwah.
Um, but there's football on Saturday.
Yes.
I'm excited.
Chief's game.
Yes.
There are other football games that I'm very excited about too.
Not all of them.
I don't care about the Eagles game, but I'm going to watch the Bills game.
Oh yes.
It should be good.
Bill.
And then I'm going to watch the Lions game too.
It's going to be some good football on this weekend.
I hope.
Cause last weekend's football.
It was terrible.
It was awful.
Yeah.
Wild card weekend.
The season was the pits.
It was so boring.
Just blow out after blow.
Wow.
Lame.
So, then that's an early game.
And then Saturday night, Sean and I are going to do another wine and cheese event.
Are you where? In our home.
Oh.
I thought you were actually gonna go to a place.
Does that sound like something we would do? Kind of, I mean you guys do adventurous things sometimes.
Well, we did this over Christmas break.
Actually, let me back up.
That was part of, that was one of Sean's Christmas presents.
I went to the International Wine Center and I got a whole bunch of different cheeses and I got different wines and I got plates and napkins and then I packaged it all up and that was one of his Christmas presents.
Oh nice.
tasting in our home.
Oh.
So, we did that over the Christmas break, and it was so fun.
We're gonna do it again this weekend.
That's awesome.
We need to go get another thing of cheese and another wine to flush it out.
So, that's gonna, oh, and crackers.
Yes.
So, we have a date tonight after the podcast to go buy cheese, wine, and crackers.
to prepare for tomorrow because tomorrow is gonna be cold as hell.
Yeah, it's gonna be cold here and the stores around here are gonna be bonkers.
People are gonna go nuts.
So, we got that.
So, then on Sunday, I'm planning to do a lot of paper crafting because I haven't in a while and I'm very excited about it.
And then Monday is just like we're gonna have a big breakfast, we're gonna have breakfast at home, and then the day is just we may go for a walk.
I don't know, it's gonna be really cold that day too.
Yeah, wide open, huh? So, wide open.
I'm excited! Well, I have a few bookmarks.
Okay, let's hear them.
The first one is a makeup eraser.
It's called the Makeup Eraser.
It's a super soft microfiber cloth, and all you have to do is use water and nothing else, and it removes your makeup.
Oh, I thought you were gonna say it cleans your brushes.
No.
From your face.
No soap.
Ooh, do you love it? I love it, and it feels so good.
Cause you could, you know, you get it, like you put hot water on it, and it's like putting a hot towel on your face.
It opens all your pores up.
What's it called? It's called the makeup eraser.
Oh, you can hear me writing.
Yeah.
I can't, cause my headphones are sucky.
Okay.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Ooh.
Yeah, it's nice.
That is awesome because I hate buying those, you know, disposable wipes.
Yes.
They work really well.
Yeah.
But I hate the waste from that.
Yes, I do too.
Okay.
And also, I don't like the way they feel on my face.
I'd rather just use water.
Now, I don't wear waterproof mascara because it offends me eyes.
Oh no.
Like I can't, I'm allergic to it.
There's something in water, whatever makes it waterproof, I guess.
Oh, that's so interesting.
And it really irritates my eyes.
So, I can't wear waterproof mascara.
So, I don't know.
It would be a test.
But I'm assuming that it works on waterproof.
I mean, that's the whole point of it.
I would be surprised if it did, because my wipes can't take off.
I have to use an oil-based.
Try it.
And I have to use, so I have two sets.
I have a non-waterproof set of mascara and a waterproof set because...
We know how much I cry.
Yes.
And I know that there are going to be instances or days or events that I will cry.
Yes.
So, that's when I whip out the non, that's when I use the waterproof mascara.
You like have to predict ahead of time? 100%.
Today's a waterproof mascara day? Yes.
I never expect to cry.
Oh my gosh.
If I don't cry at least twice a day.
Oh my, no way.
I'm having a good day.
I cried on the way to work.
yesterday morning.
I mean I do that sometimes.
I got a little choked up listening to a podcast today.
Oh no I just full on.
I don't get choked up.
I get alligator tears hanging onto my eyeballs and then it's just like waterfall and I don't I don't just get choked up.
I have my body is just it just cries.
It's like you got to get rid of this.
Sorry I kind of hijacked your makeup eraser.
but I might buy more so that I can rotate them.
Can you wash it? How do you clean it? You wash it just like normal.
Like you throw it in the washing machine or you wash it in your sink? No, you throw it in the wash.
I know, I don't know how some of these things work.
It's all magical chemistry.
It probably gives you cancer.
Okay.
Second bookmark is a show called Based on a True Story.
It's a comedy on peacocks starring Chris Messina.
from the Mindy project, remember him? Short dude? Yes.
Tom Bateman, hot British guy, but he doesn't, he's not British in this show.
Okay.
Very cute.
And Kaylee Cuoco.
Oh my gosh, I know which show you are talking about and I want to see this show so bad.
But it's on Peacock.
I know.
So, I get to watch it, cause I have Peacock at least for the rest of this month.
Yes.
Um, Clint and I binged it, binged two seasons.
I don't doubt it.
This past week.
It was so good.
Um, Melissa Fumero from Brooklyn nine, nine who played Santiago.
She's on it on season two.
She's a guest star in season two.
Excellent.
It's so funny and so cringe a lot of times and also so tense.
It's really good.
Now, it really is based on a real story.
No.
Oh, it's not? Oh, I thought that it was.
Oh, OK.
Shoot.
It's totally silly.
It's about.
Um.
true crime podcasting basically.
Yes.
When I saw it advertised, I saw a trailer for it on IMDb and I was like, oh my gosh, Breit would lose her mind over this.
It's really good.
I'm so glad.
And Clint really liked it too.
It's so funny.
Jackie and I started out watching it.
And Clint was on his computer, like on the other side of the bookshelf.
And it makes it sound like we have a special room that the bookshelf swivels.
But now the bookshelf just like separates the big, you know, kitchen from the living room.
And he was on the other side of the bookshelf on his, on his computer.
And all of a sudden he said something like, Oh, I don't want to say what it was because it's, it's kind of a spoiler, but he was like, it's totally the so and so.
And Jackie and I looked at each other and I said, did he just.
And he goes, yeah, I'm totally listening over here.
I'm totally into it.
He wasn't watching, but he was listening.
I said, get your ass in here and just watch it with us.
So, he came in to watch it and Jackie left and she didn't watch another single episode.
like what the heck she seemed pretty into it maybe she wanted mom time I it was weird okay anyway she probably wanted her dad's chair I mean she had to vacate the comfy chair she was probably like forget it I can't sit in the lazy boy anyway hilarious it's very funny but it does make you, and it's like, next episode, next episode.
Oh man, I love shows like that.
Yeah, and now we're finished already.
Now we're in another show hole.
I asked him, when we finished last night, I said, what are we gonna do now? And he goes, I don't know.
We're so lame.
All right, I should have said, let's have a wine and cheese tasting in our house.
Absolutely.
Duh.
Yeah.
Finally, I'm reading a book called Expiration Dates.
The premise is, a woman receives a slip of paper of some sort, sometime close to the start of every new relationship.
It tells her the name of her new romantic partner and how long the relationship will last.
Oh, that sounds awful.
I know.
She treats it like it's some kind of great superpower.
And I was thinking, that's terrible.
Why even bother? Yeah.
That's, ugh.
Anyway, so it'll say like two and a half months, or three months, or two years, or whatever.
Wow.
And then one day, she gets a name with no expiration date.
Oh.
What does this mean? Is this her forever person? Still in the middle of the book.
Okay.
But it's good so far.
Oh, okay.
That's it.
I believe you.
I trust you.
I trust you with your rom-com.
Okay.
Well, we're not here to talk about your TV hole.
Man.
I like the TV hole.
That's where I shove my TV.
We have, you know how big our TV is.
It's obscene.
If I had a TV hole, that would be ginormous.
We are here to share our internet search histories with our DTH besties.
Correct.
And we do that with...
The reading of the lists.
Alright, in this segment we tell you our top three most interesting, funniest, most successful internet searches of the week in list form.
It's even Steven Week.
So, here we go with my list.
Number one, impact winter.
Number two, Mandela effect.
Number three, Prince Rupert's drop.
Prince Rupert's drop, all right.
Here's my list.
Brucellosis and humans.
Home gym machine 90s.
And esophageal dysphagia.
Whoa.
All right, we are in for a wild ride here.
We are.
All right.
We've set our lists.
Yeah.
We're anticipating fun and interesting things to learn.
But now we're gonna play a little game that you and I like to call.
Search me.
This is where we each pose one question to each other to see if she can answer it based only on the reading of the list.
The current Search Me! quiz score has us tied at two points each.
Yes.
So,.
For the year.
Yes.
Uh huh.
Let's see if you can guess this question.
Okay.
All right.
Which of my searches was prompted by a conversation Sean and I had that ended up wigging me out a little bit.
Here are my searches again.
Impact Winter, Mandela Effect, Prince Rupert's Drop.
Oh gosh, it's between two things.
I'm gonna say Mandela Effect.
Oh, that's right.
Yes.
Dang it.
Cause that will creep you out sometimes if you think about it too much.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, you brought this up last week.
Yeah.
And I went home and looked it up because I had told you that I thought it was only about forgetting things.
And you're like, no, it has to do with parallel universes and we live in this one and blah, blah.
Well, guess what happened? I started reading about it and I was like, oh, yes.
And it just, after a little refresher, it all came flooding back to me.
I forgot.
about the Mandela effect.
What? You forgot about forgetting? Well, misremembering.
How meta is that? Yeah, that is.
Yeah, I totally, and it, oh my gosh.
So, that was wigging me out a little bit.
So, then, Sean and I were still watching the West Wing.
Yeah.
We're almost done.
So, this week we finished season six and we've moved into season seven, which is the last season, which is making me a sad panda.
You're about to hit the show hole.
I'm about to have a TV hole.
Now, Leo McGarry, whose real name is John Spencer, he is still alive as we enter season seven.
Spoiler alert for all of you who have not seen this 25 year old show, cover your ear holes.
John Spencer.
dies in real life.
Yes.
I hate to break it to y'all.
And he died while they were still filming the show.
Now.
Before I started watching, rewatching this show this time around over Christmas, I would have bet money, and I mean real money, that he died between season one and season two.
Like, I thought that we got through the whole first season and then when they came back to season two, they had to explain why he wasn't with them.
So,, as we've been rewatching this...
Every time we move into a new season, I'm like, well, he didn't die in that season.
Yeah, you're like, when's this dude gonna die? That's the whole time.
I'm like, when's John, like, that's what I've been focused on.
Yeah.
When's he gonna die? And so we finished season six and I was like, well.
We've moved him to see if he's 70, he's still alive.
And so I couldn't help myself.
I had to look it up to see when he passed away.
And it's about the middle of season seven.
So, it's almost the entire series.
And I was telling Sean, I cannot believe that I thought he had died.
And Sean said, you experienced the Mandela effect.
And I was like, Brea and I just talked about this less than 24 hours ago.
And so then Sean said, part of the mandala effect is that it gets talked about in cycles because people in different universes or different planes, they all start to notice different things at the same time and so it starts to come up.
So, the hair on my arms was like standing up while you were saying that.
I was like, what? That's it.
We're all just in a simulation.
It was so weird that he brought that up.
Like I had to pause the West Wing and be like, dude.
We're all in a simulation and somebody just keeps going back and editing things after the fact.
And then we're like, what? If the person who is running the simulation can listen to me for just one second, I would like a thinner body.
Thank you very much.
In your parallel simulation, maybe you do.
That would be amazing.
I wish I could remember it or be conscious of it.
My sources for this wigging out were the West Wing, Wikipedia, and Sean Burch.
OK.
Oh, and Brea Brown, for that matter.
I didn't explain it very well.
As I was editing the podcast episode, I was like, oh my gosh, woman.
A, spit it out.
B.
What are you talking about? I wasn't on my game.
I haven't been all week.
I'm really glad I don't work in a job where it's a life or death stuff coming across my desk because people would be dead this week.
I have been real bad.
I've worked on some stuff for some kind of high up people this week and have not.
shown my best side.
Uh oh.
Yeah.
You think they're gonna take back that faux jacket that you're wearing? My cardigan? They're like, lady, you don't deserve that.
No, because they won't be able to find anyone else who wears a 4XL.
It is so not.
It really is a 4XL.
It is not.
Then they must be a lady's cut.
They are all the clothes in the faux store.
So, we call it no, I'm sorry the spark store They're all they all run very small.
That's not cool spark.
I get a point Yes, you did and I already wrote it down in my book.
So, I will excellent our scores next week.
Okay, here's your question Which search started a trip down a horrifying rabbit hole? When this old lady couldn't remember the name of the condition her husband has Is it? brucelosis in humans? Home gym machine 90s? Or esophageal dysphasia? I know it's not brucellosis in humans because I know where you got that because I saw it too.
So, it has to be esophageal dysphagia.
You're right.
Yes.
Good job.
I get another point we're still tied.
Oh man, we are neck and neck.
All right.
Would you like to learn about esophageal dysphagia so that you can worry about whether or not you have it? Or some of the things that cause it? Definitely.
Okay, because the thing is esophageal dysphagia is the result of any number of conditions.
Oh.
So, it is not itself the thing.
It is like a symptom, basically.
Oh, okay.
Here are some of them.
Ecclesia is damaged nerves or muscles, making it hard for the esophagus to squeeze food and liquid into the stomach.
Okay, esophageal spasm.
This is when the esophagus contracts repeatedly in a high pressure, poorly coordinated manner, kind of like a hiccup, like an esophageal hiccup.
Good grief.
Usually after swallowing.
Gird.
We all know what gird is.
It's also known as reflux.
Stomach acid backs up into the esophagus and damages the tissues.
Delightful.
A narrowed esophagus or stricture.
This is caused sometimes by tumors or scar tissue as a result of reflux or GERD.
Oh yes.
And esophageal tumors, self-explanatory.
Yes.
Foreign bodies, food or objects partially blocking the throat or esophagus.
How does that happen? Um, just sometimes a result of not chewing your food well enough.
Oh.
You get a blockage because you...
you know so it's like just stuck there it gets stuck oh that sounds awful yeah it happens a lot with older people who have dentures i read oh my husband does not have this problem yet okay um when i knock all his teeth out later you might need him um esophageal ring a thin area of narrowing in The lower esophagus causes difficulty swallowing food.
So, it's like a, I kept picturing it like a hair tie or something, you know? That kinda squeezes in a certain place and kind of like crimps it off.
Terrible.
Oh, this is a good one.
Eosinophilic.
esophagitis.
Uh-huh.
Right.
That's when your white blood cells build up in your esophagus.
Oh my gosh.
Did you know that could happen? No.
Yeah, it can.
Scleroderma.
Do you know what scleroderma is? Well...
In other places on your body besides your esophagus? Sclera? Why is that...
Sclera is ringing a bell but I'm not going to be able to...
regurgitate what that is.
It's like when you get a buildup of scar-like tissue like on your skin.
Okay.
You know, and it hardens and like, it's kind of like calluses almost.
Oh, okay.
You can get those in your esophagus.
Good night.
And it weakens the esophageal sphincter.
I love when I can use that word.
It's a great word.
And then acid backs up into the esophagus, causing frequent heartburn.
Yes.
And then radiation for cancer treatment can lead to inflammation and scarring as well.
Yes, of course.
I won't tell you, I won't say on mic what my husband has.
HIPAA violations and all.
Oh, of course.
But anyway, I figured it out.
But I had to read all that other stuff.
Yes.
And I was like, oh my gosh.
This is.
All the things that can just happen in your esophagus.
Just, yeah.
Because you use it a lot.
Just your one tube.
It's an important tube.
It is a super important tube.
That's where I put my galette cookies from Arian David.
That's where I put most things.
I mean, yeah.
My source for that was the Mayo Clinic.
Thanks Mayo Clinic.
Yeah, thanks a lot.
Yeah, I kind of did this to myself this morning.
I like to read the news in bed before I get up.
Oh, do you? I do.
I don't know why.
I just have kind of gotten in the habit of doing that.
And this morning I was reading, I saw an article about cancer.
rising more cancer cases rising among women that are younger.
Oh no.
So, like between the ages of 50 and 65, they're seeing more cases of cancer and not just one, it's all the cases of cancer.
And so I was like, I should stop reading this article.
Did you? No, because, do you know why? I have a mammogram at the end of the month, and I thought I should just keep freaking myself out more and more and more.
Oh, man.
So, I read the whole article, and it doesn't look good for us.
I cannot stop looking at your Richard Scarry.
um, sticker on your water bottle.
Oh my gosh.
It's the worm y'all.
The worm from the Richard scary universe and he's in an apple car and he's not really driving because worms don't have hands or arms.
That's the best part of Richard scary.
He's just in it in the place where the driver of the apple car would be.
And he's just smiling like he doesn't give a shit that he can't steer.
And we all need to be more like that worm.
That's the best sticker ever.
Now it's time to get weird.
And be as weird and awkward as a worm with no hands.
Exactly.
In the front of an apple car.
In the front of an apple car.
Just driving down the street.
Not really driving, just riding.
It's as awkward as a worm.
Yeah.
The shared history segment.
That's right.
This is when we tell our DTH besties the rest of our searches that we did this week, why we searched it, and what we learned, if anything at all.
Yeah.
Alright, you won't be surprised to learn that my next search is from the West Wing.
Oh my gosh.
I only have approximately 20 episodes left.
Oh my gosh.
Of the West Wing.
It's taking a long time.
It's an hour long show.
It is.
Oh man.
That's a lot.
Jimmy Smits has come onto the scene.
Oh, I forgot about that.
You know what else I forgot about that show? And it's so stupid.
It's making me mad.
Is that they made Leo his running mate.
Do you remember that? Leo is the vice presidential candidate.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I did not remember that at all.
It's terrible.
It's very vague.
Well, it's just stupid.
In my mind, in my memory.
But yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's very vague that they did that.
It's dumb.
Where's Aaron Sorkin when you need him? Oh, I think he was in rehab.
Well, it's entirely possible or maybe writing Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
You remember that show? Loved that show.
But that was much later than the end of the West Wing, wasn't it? I think it was simultaneous.
I think he may have left the West Wing to go write that.
Oh really? Or maybe I don't know.
I don't remember.
Anyway, impact winter.
Yeah.
Um, an impact winter happens when the climate significantly cools because the because of the massive amount of dust and particles ejected into the atmosphere after a large asteroid or comet impacts the earth.
Oh my gosh.
The debris blocks the sunlight causing dramatic drop in global temperatures.
The impact of an asteroid throws the dust and aerosols into the stratosphere, which is above the weather systems that usually help clear out the air of particles.
Yes.
These particles would be extremely small, which means they would have a very slow settling rate.
Yeah, they can float around there forever.
Exactly.
Now, gravity does pull them down, but it takes a really really long time for them to settle on the ground.
Winds in the upper, oh my gosh, I am like.
Winds in the upper atmosphere could spread the particles around the globe, keeping them aloft, keeping the particles just floating around for months or even years.
Whoa.
The survival of humans after an impact winter would depend on various factors, including the severity of the climate change, available resources, and adaptability of humans.
We're screwed.
No, we're pretty adaptable.
Some people ain't.
Well, you say that and they think, I know, I know what you mean, but they've just never been tested.
I guess needs must, right? Correct.
With reduced sunlight and colder temperatures, agriculture would suffer, obviously, leading to food shortages.communities with robust infrastructure, such as underground shelters and access to alternative energy sources, would have a better chance of enduring the harsh conditions.
Now, this sounds like the mother of all dunkelflautes, in my opinion.
So, I don't know that having alternative energy sources is gonna help anybody out.
If you can think of something other than wind and sun that's producing energy, maybe they're talking about fossil fuels.
I know, I think they're probably talking about...
Well, yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
Anyway, I didn't care enough to keep looking it up.
The duration of human survival could range from a few years to decades, depending on how well food, medicine, governments, social structures, et cetera, are managed.
We're screwed.
We're definitely screwed for the next four years if this happens.
Listen, asteroid, if you're gonna hit us, just split it in half and kill us all.
Right? Don't leave us hanging.
Yeah.
with a impact winter.
Yes.
Some estimates suggest that the worst case scenario, if global agriculture collapses and food supplies run out, humanity could face severe challenges within 10 years.
10 years! Whoa.
I don't wanna live in an impact winter for 10 years.
See, this is stressing me out.
This, all this apocalyptic.
That's right.
Brea does not do apocalyptic scenarios.
I hate it.
She doesn't watch the shows, she doesn't read the books.
Nope.
My source for this was the West Wing because an asteroid was hurtling toward the Earth and it was like a legit, people were super worried about it.
Yeah.
But it changed its trajectory and everyone survived.
Of course it did.
You know a show has jumped the shark when asteroids come into play.
Well, what does that mean for the movie? What was that called with Bruce Willis? Was that Deep Impact? No, the other one.
Oh, oh that's right.
There were two at the same time.
At the same time.
It starts with an A.
It does start with an A.
Oh, it was, ah! Steven Tyler, the song.
It was, oh shoot, it came around the front of my brain.
Oh gosh.
And then it ran away.
It's one word.
Armageddon.
There you go.
Boom.
Oh, that movie was bad.
It's terrible.
I watched it.
Sean made me.
I did too.
Sean and it's I've watched that for the first time just within the last couple of years because it looked so stupid the first time around.
I would not watch it.
But then one night, Sean convinced me we should watch a stupid movie, and we did, and it was stupid.
Yeah.
It was terrible.
Yeah, it's an awful movie.
They tried to make it serious, and you just, you know.
It should have just been a comedy.
Hey, oil rigor, you wanna be an astronaut? Okay.
Let's do it.
Let me pack my Ozarks English dictionary.
I'm the only one that can turn this wrench.
Oh my gosh.
Yes.
Your turn.
What were your sources? Oh, that's right.
I started to talk about them.
The West Wing.
Yeah.
The asteroid was hurtling toward the earth.
Wikipedia and Copilot.
I used Copilot for the first time this week.
Did you like it? I didn't like it as much as Gemini.
Oh really? In fact, I ended up switching to Gemini for something else and then I thought, you know what? Chat GPT is a little bit better than this even.
Wow.
Yeah.
Look at all the options we have though.
I know.
That's what's so great.
AI is all over the place.
It is.
It's here people.
Get used to it.
All right.
My first search is brucelosis in humans.
Yes, yes, yes.
I thought we would just stick with the disgusting medical stuff.
I love it.
I know that you know this, but I looked this up because All Creatures Great and Small has started the new season.
And of course on Passport, I can watch all the episodes.
You can watch them.
But I have not.
Okay.
I think I have only watched maybe the first one or two.
I don't know.
Can't remember.
Sometimes I do get like real like bingey, you know? But I don't think I did this week because I had other things to do.
Why don't you fill your TV hole with that? I probably will.
It's a good choice.
Yeah, and also Matlock is coming back on soon.
Oh.
I don't know if it comes back tonight.
I think it's after.
Oh shoot, Matlock.
Maybe after the playoffs.
I know it's ridiculous.
I get a lot of crap for watching Matlock in my house.
But anyway, so brucelosis on all creatures great and small.
Last season, at the end of the season, this is maybe spoilery for some people.
If you like the show and you're not caught up, fast forward.
They had an outbreak of brucelosis in cattle in the area where they are, which is what, Yorkshire? Yeah, pretty sure.
I honestly can't remember.
And they had to call some herds because of it.
And it was really scary because Helen, who is the wife of the main character, James, kind of the main character, it's weird.
It's such an ensemble cast that, I mean, you know, it's based on his life, but he's not really like a standout main, main character.
Anyway, that's a whole other topic, I guess, about storytelling.
Anyway, so James's wife, Helen is pregnant and her dad owns a farm with cattle and sheep.
And he's like, you know, they're freaking out cause they think she's going to get it.
And apparently it has some long-term effects and blah, blah.
And she doesn't end up getting it.
Great.
Now you can start listening again.
So, brucelosis is a bacterial infection caused by the genus Bruxella.
Sounds like a terrible girl's name.
I think we'll name her Bruxella.
It's very close to Drizella.
A little bit, yeah.
It's a zoonotic disease.
meaning it spreads from animals to humans.
Oh.
Humans typically contract brucellosis through consuming unpasteurized dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream from infected animals.
Eating undercooked meat from infected animals such as sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs, inhaling contaminated air.
Oh man.
I mean, it even floats around on the air.
Yeah, that's bad.
So, that's why they were really worried about Helen because, you know, obviously, she's not going to be eating undercooked meat or unpasteurized dairy products.
But if just being around these animals, you can just inhale it.
Yeah.
And direct contact with infected animal blood, fluids, or tissues.
Yikes.
Which you would be if you're a vet like James or a farmer, like Helen and her family.
Symptoms can appear anywhere from a few days to several months after exposure and may resemble the flu like fever and chills fatigue and weakness joints and muscle aches and back pain headache and sweats and loss of appetite in Some cases the symptoms can persist for years Even after treatment so it can come back the chronic brucellosis can lead to complications like Inflammation of the heart lining Oh arthritis and inflammation of the spinal bones.
Oh gosh.
Like, yeah, like serious stuff.
Diagnosing brucellosis can be challenging due to its flu-like symptoms, which in the first episode of this season, we're finding out.
Yes.
And I won't say why or anything else.
Blood tests and cultures are used to confirm the infection.
And treatment typically involves a combination of antibiotics over several weeks to months.
I know right So, you got to eat a lot of yogurt.
Oh, yes.
I hate antibiotics so much I mean they mess with you so bad.
I'm glad to have the antibiotics.
Oh, absolutely You need them, but yeah the effects of them on other things Yeah, they're so they're very hard on your body.
Yes so you can of prevent contracting brucelosis by, obviously, avoiding dairy products that are raw and meat products that are raw.
You can use protective equipment when working with potentially infected animals, and you can practice good hygiene and sanitation in animal handling and food preparation.
So, I wanted to know, how common is it still? Because this is taking place back in World War II times.
Creatures Great and Small the show so I'm like You know with the advancement of medicine do we still? Have these issues with this great question.
Yes, we do.
Oh, no Worldwide there are an estimated 2.
1 million cases of brucellosis in humans each year Mostly in Africa and Asia, but also in Europe and the Americans people who work closely with animals such as farmers, vets, and abattoir workers.
What is that? Are at higher risk.
Abattoir? Yeah, like in meat packing plants and butchers.
I don't know what that word means.
Abattoir, that's what it just means.
And abattoir is where they send cows or any animals really to be butchered.
Oh, see.
On a large scale.
I shun those like the plague.
I can't, they upset me so much.
I just can't stand it.
So, I don't, yes, that's one word I never needed to know.
You're just shunning avatars.
I am, I, the, I just, no, I can't stand it.
It's so upsetting to me.
I mean, I like meat.
I was gonna say.
But I don't wanna know anything about it.
Just, I prefer to think that it's not an animal.
That's right.
Well, pretty soon you'll just be eating lab-grown meat anyway, and that'll be fine.
That'll be just fine with me.
Me too.
But pork chops come from cows.
Yes.
Right.
I mean, pigs.
My sources were the Centers for Disease Control Cleveland Clinic and the Mayo Clinic, Co-Pilot, and All Creatures Great and Small.
Yes.
I watch it.
Love that show.
Me too, it's so homey.
I know.
It makes me feel so cozy.
I know.
And I love tricky woo woo.
I know.
I love the dog.
I just love the whole Stinkin' Show.
I know.
It just makes me feel so happy.
Yeah.
Okay, my last search for this week is Prince Rupert's Drop.
This sounds scary.
It's not.
Okay.
It's fascinating.
Okay.
Prince Rupert's Drops are named after Prince Rupert of the Rhine, who brought them to England from Germany in 1660.
The drops are glass beads that are shaped like a teardrop with a fine tail.
So, picture a sperm.
Yes.
That's exactly what they look like.
The drops are made by dripping molten glass into cold water, which cools the glass rapidly and solidify.
solidifies from the outside in.
As the inner glass cools and contracts, it pulls the outer shell inward, creating compressive stress on the surface, but tensile stress in the core.
The compressive stress on the surface makes the bulbous part of the drop incredibly strong and it can withstand hammer strikes.
Since the inner core is under tensile stress, if the thin tail is nicked or broken, it releases the store energy and it causes the entire drop to explode into dust.
Oh! The drops were likely known to glassmakers for a long time before Prince Rupert brought them...
Prince Rupert? Is that right? Yep.
I just had like this weird stroke.
Right.
The drops were likely known to glassmakers for a long time before Prince Rupert brought them to England.
The earliest confirmed record of their existence is from Mecklenburg, Germany, before 1625.
Yeah.
However, some speculate that the drops are even older because hardened glass was a valuable material that was often kept secret.
Hmm.
Okay.
I have hard glass and you don't.
Right? The Royal Society studied the drops as scientific curiosities.
The principles of their unusual properties led to the development of toughened glass, which was patent in 1874.
Now, I encourage everybody to watch a video of this on YouTube.
It is so freaking cool.
I bet it is cool.
So, the part where you drop the glass cold water, that's kind of boring.
I mean, there's, you know, you're dropping glass and it hardens big deal.
Yeah, yeah.
But once it's hardened and it has the tail, they, there are several videos, you can just see them hammering it and it doesn't break.
But then they take these clippers and they just clip a very tip off of that thing.
And it just obliterates.
It is so cool.
That is.
Wild.
It really is.
And there are tons of videos where they've, you know, filmed it using high speed.
And so it just watching it turn to powder is it is wild and it chases itself.
So, where it starts and it breaks, you know, it just chases down the tail and then to the bulb.
I watched videos of this for like 20 minutes.
Now what made you look this up? I cannot remember.
For the life of me, I do not remember why I looked this up.
So, I was just going through, you know, typing up all of my searches for the week and there it was.
And I even had to look it up again because I don't even, I can't remember.
I was probably falling asleep looking up something because that's what I do.
I do crazy crap when I'm falling asleep.
There's a couple things in my, what about this one list that I'm like, huh? I don't remember that.
Yeah.
So, anyway, um, my searches, my searches, no, my sources were Google, Jim and I, lots and lots and lots of YouTube videos and, um, Instagram.
Okay.
Because my phone was listening to me and it heard me saying Prince Rupert's drops.
Yeah.
And what do you know? I opened up Instagram and like seven videos later, there was a Prince Rupert drop.
some dude had taken the bulbous part and like his whole schtick is to get listeners to suggest things for him to put under his compressor like a it's a press yeah and they're like hey let's stick this under your press and see what happens well someone suggested a prince rupert drop and the bulbous part of that withstood like six tons of pressure oh my gosh It was crazy.
Look it up.
You guys, this is the coolest video.
Okay.
My last search is home gym machine 90s.
Last week, when you were describing the early iterations of the dumbbell, I said it reminded me of a Bowflex and now this got edited out of the episode.
How long it took.
for me to think of what the Bowflex was and look it up.
It was a very long time.
I just kept scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling on the audio.
It was like forever.
And then I could finally delete, scrunch it all up.
So, you guys didn't have to suffer through all that.
It was very painful.
But anyway, Bowflex, my sister had one.
Which sister? My sister Cory.
Okay, Cory.
Cory and David had a Bowflex.
I like to get a picture in my head of which sister.
They were all about it.
She and her husband, they use that Bowflex.
They go on power walks.
They were in the 90s, man.
They were quite the fitness buffs.
Okay.
And that's really when I guess late 80s, early 90s.
when fitness really had a boom in the United States.
For sure.
I mean, we're talking, I mean, Jane Fonda, she had been doing aerobics and Richard Simmons had been doing it for a long time.
Sure.
But the early 90s, we had some innovations.
Faux show.
Let me tell you about some of them.
Oh, yes! Okay, I was hoping that's where this was going.
I'm so excited.
Here are some you probably remember.
Many of which were featured on infomercials that I had to run on overnight master control shifts.
Yes, of course you did.
At the TV station.
Culprit number one, the shake weight.
Oh, gross.
It is gross.
It looks like you're doing very sexual things.
It's an odd looking dumbbell that promised a quick workout fix by incorporating dynamic inertia.
So, you'd shake the weight and then after you shook it, it would like continue its momentum.
And then like it would work your muscles harder than traditional weights, allegedly.
But it looked obscene.
It looked like you were jacking off a weight, um, jacking off a dumbbell.
Power Plate.
Do you remember this one? Oh, no.
I didn't remember this one.
I had to look it up.
A vibrating platform designed to enhance workouts by using vibration technology.
The idea was that the vibrations would activate muscle contractions.
So, listen, the 90s, we were all about good vibrations.
You remember, CNC music factory, baby.
So, this was like a platform thing that you could do other exercises on, and it was supposed to enhance the effect of your exercises because it was vibrating the whole time you're trying to do your exercises.
And so it would strengthen your core because you're having to balance and oh my gosh.
I'm tired just thinking about it.
The Thighmaster.
This was the first one that popped into my head.
Did you have a Thighmaster? My mom had a Thighmaster.
We had one.
Did you? When I was living with my parents, we had a Thighmaster.
What color was yours? Freaking dangerous.
It was blue and red.
Blue and red.
Yes.
My mom had like a fuchsia colored one.
Oh.
Yes.
It was made famous by Suzanne Summers.
Suzanne.
This device was designed to tone the thighs and became one of the best selling pieces of exercise equipment in the 90s.
Yeah.
It was basically like a binder clip that you would put between.
Ah! You'd put between your knees and you would just.
pull your knees back and forth.
Yeah.
Squeeze the hell out of it.
Every time I think of a Thighmaster, I always think of the movie So, I Killed an Axe Murderer.
So, I married an axe.
Yeah, sorry.
So, I married an axe murderer because he is using Mike Myers is using a Thighmaster while watching Suzanne Summers.
Oh, yes.
And he's reading the booklet at the same time on how to use it.
Yes.
So, ridiculous.
And then the girl he's dating walks in with a health shake.
Uh huh.
And The thing flips out from between his knees and it flips across the room.
The momentum of it, oh my gosh, it's so funny.
She was a thief.
You've got to believe.
She stole my heart and my cat.
Betty! Judy! Josie and those hot pussy cats.
That's right, Josie and those hot pussy cats.
You're welcome, everybody.
NERDS! Alright, the next one is...
The Total Gym.
This was a versatile piece of equipment that allowed users to perform a variety of exercises using a sliding bench and resistance cables.
Ummm...
The guy.
What is his name? Chuck Norris.
Yes, Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley.
Oh, that's right.
Christie Brinkley.
That's right.
They hawked this thing.
To the max.
I mean, there was a total gym 17 or something.
They had all kinds of iterations of this thing.
Now here's one of my favorite ones.
The Gazelle exercise machine.
The Gazelle.
Yes.
This was like pre-elliptical.
But it was.
kind of like that except you had like ski poles and your legs went into these things that your legs would go back and forth.
and it was like in an elliptical motion.
It was a low impact full body workout machine that combined walking and arm movements.
Why do I not remember this one? And the dude who hawked it was named Tony something or other.
That muscle bound asshole with the long hair.
The long blonde hair and he was tan and oily.
Yes.
Oh, it's, oh my gosh, yes, it's all coming back.
I didn't even have to look it up, I remember it.
I remember it.
All you had to say was tan and oily.
And I see there's like multiple, they're all using it at the same time.
And they're like going to town on this thing.
The gazelle.
And it just swings your legs.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
The AB dolly.
Oh.
This was a device designed to help with abdominal exercises.
Yep.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
And you would be like, yeah, you would be face down.
And then you would roll forward and roll back again.
Oh, pain.
And you're on your knees, right? You could be on your knees or your toes, I think.
Oh my gosh.
It looked like a back problem waiting to happen.
The body blade.
This was a lightweight flexible rod that provided resistance for muscle toning exercises.
I don't remember this one.
I'm gonna need more explanation.
I can't even picture what that must look like.
A lightweight flexible rod that provides resistance for muscle toning.
The body blade? Yeah, it sounds kind of like those resistance bands, but maybe...
It is.
It's just the bar.
Yeah.
What do you do with it? I'm gonna have to research this.
Well, it's flexible.
So, you can actually like bend it.
Oh, so bend it.
Yeah.
It's like resistance training.
Correct.
It's almost like the shake weight.
It is a little bit like the shake weight.
It's making me uncomfortable.
Oh.
Yeah, you hold it in the middle and it...
Flaps up and down.
It's like the shake weight.
Look it up people.
Only not as offensive.
You will not be sorry.
And then finally, the health rider, a stationary bike that promised to provide a full body workout with minimal impact on the joints.
A stationary bike, yeah.
That was the thing that you...
You would pull up on it on the handlebars.
Yes.
Yeah.
Like you're riding a horse.
Correct.
I remember that one.
And it would make you clench and yeah.
So,, but you'd be pedaling at the same time.
That's a great way to hurt yourself.
Now, what are some of your favorite nineties fitness videos? Okay.
Now remember the firm? No.
What? There's a whole series of the firm.
They're terrible, but they were like super popular in the nineties and they were mostly about, um, weightlifting.
Okay.
And not necessarily about cardio, but they would work cardio in.
Right, so it was like a mixture.
It was, but these were ridiculous and They were just prolific.
Oh, yeah in my college years.
Oh, really early college years, I guess I should say Um, because I thought I needed some workout videos.
How about um, taibo? I never did taibo, but I always wanted to I did some taibo I wanted those videos so bad because I thought they would change my life But I didn't have the cash to pay for they did not change my life I think I actually borrowed them from the library.
Oh, because I was super duper poor And I know I didn't buy them.
And they were expensive.
Yeah.
What about Susan Powder? Do you remember her? Ew, I do.
I did not.
Spiky white hair.
I did not like her.
Her voice bothered me.
Stop the insanity.
Yes.
I didn't like her screamy.
She was very screamy.
Now, I also had several Denise Austin videos.
Oh, yes.
She was very soothing.
I liked Denise Austin.
She was like a cheerleader.
In fact, I saw her on Instagram the other day.
woman's still looking good.
Oh my gosh.
Good for her, I mean.
Then, now this is probably not 90s.
This would probably, oh in fact I know it's not because I can align it with one of my jobs.
And it was after I left Color 10.
So, it would have been like 2008, nine, 10, 11, somewhere right in there.
Okay.
And it was called Turbo Jam.
It was a, it was, it is the best exercise video I've ever experienced.
It's like 20 minutes long.
And my boss, Stephanie, got me into it.
And so there for a little while, she loved it.
It was her favorite.
And there for a little while, we would stay after work.
and we would use one of the conference rooms and do our quick turbo jam workout and then go home.
Oh my gosh, that's so funny.
And then she would get busy and she also had kids.
Yeah, yeah.
I had things going on and blah, and just it fell apart, but we were trying to be accountable to each other.
But I still have that DVD because it is so good.
It's 20 minutes and there are like three intensities.
Oh.
So, you can do just like a beginner, immediate.
Meaty what's the intermediate? Thank you.
Welcome and advanced.
Okay, so I that's if you guys want to exercise video Turbojam, it's actually really good.
Okay There was another one I did that was like walking Yes, it was like Walking in place Denise Austin has a lot of indoor walking videos.
It wasn't Denise Austin.
It was a different chick.
I Can't remember her name But I had some of those.
I found a firm video.
Oh, an old one? Yes.
Oh my gosh, it's already crazy.
So,, oh, here they are.
Okay, so look at all the...
The leotards.
The leotards and the tights.
With the tights.
The belts and the socks over the pants and the high-top shoes.
Oh yeah, the guys are in short shorts.
She looks like she couldn't grow a fat cell if she tried.
I...
And they're all like 10 feet tall.
Yeah.
They have legs to next year.
My leg stopped yesterday.
Ha ha ha.
But I had probably two or three VHS of the firm series.
And I got them at garage sales.
They were like 10 cents.
Wow.
Yeah, I got them super cheap because that was pure, super pure.
I'm right.
Numene.
You'd think if I didn't have any money, I'd have no food to eat.
And yet I did.
Actually, the poorer you are, the worse you eat because it's cheap.
Yeah, the crappy food is cheaper.
The crappy food is cheap and you eat empty calories and they're like, why am I always so hungry? Anyway, my sources for this were plant powered lifters.
It's a vegan exercise site and headlines over sidelines and copilot.
This was the best search ever.
It was a great trip down memory lane.
I love crap like that.
It's pretty funny.
It makes my heart happy.
I do like to watch on YouTube.
I like to watch old exercise videos that they make fun of, you know, like.
Oh yes.
Oh, just the aerobics videos from the 80s with the men who are just.
Yeah, really into it.
Oh my gosh.
It's.
It's awkward to watch.
It's almost like, oh, I don't want to watch it, but I can't look away.
Have you seen like the fitness dance competitions? Uh, no.
Like jazzercise.
Oh my gosh.
Yes.
And they're doing it like there's pairs and they're synchronized.
Oh, isn't it awful? Oh my gosh.
It's one of my favorite things to watch when I'm having a bad day.
Next time you're just mad at the world, just dial that up on YouTube.
I'm writing it down.
Exercise.competitions.
It'll brighten your life.
When mad.
Got it.
All right.
Oh, crap.
But, Brea.
What? What about this one? What about it? Here's a quick listing of our other searches from the past week that we didn't have time to discuss in this episode Or were too damn boring.
Yeah boring Why are you so boring? I my list is so long this week Mine's about average.
You're not gonna believe it.
I can't wait.
Okay Here's mine though since mine's shorter.
It's mostly names.
Oh I was looking up a lot of people All right, I have Springfield, Green County Health Department, restaurant inspections.
Oh gosh.
Westerntrends.com.
This is a Western clothing store, but they have amazing sweatshirts.
Okay.
I think I'm gonna buy one sweatshirt and see what the quality is.
Okay.
They're so cute.
Okay.
Leonard Peabody, The Umbrella Academy, John Spencer death, when was Under the Dome canceled? Let me tell you it was canceled too late.
Someone should have lost their job over that show.
Oh right.
Oh That last season what the crap? What do you mean the last season? Well, we could stomach the first three that fourth one.
What I don't even know someone was Someone's nephew got a job writing the last season.
Oh, it was terrible You watched more than one season of under the dome.
Well I was watching it with Sean and you know Sean, he can't not.
He won't give up.
