Give me a level…
Welcome to episode 80 of Delete This History, podcast by two besties who are completely out of their routine.
 Yes.
[Theme song]
 Welcome to episode 80 of Delete This History, a podcast by two besties of a certain age searching for answers.
We are your hosts, Cara Burch and Brea Brown.
We're a mess.
It's really hard to get back into things. Like, you forget.
Totally.
My brain said, okay, I don't need to worry about this for the next few weeks.
All right.
And it literally…
Data dump!
…left it behind.
Yeah.
So, I didn't bring any recording equipment today. We've had this plan for I don't know how long. I didn't bring my recording equipment.
 And we're in a different setup than we're used to.
That's true.
And so my headphone cord wouldn't reach for this setup.
And then my computer decided to just be like, don't know who you are.
Oh, it wouldn't turn on!
It wouldn't turn on.
Then Word was like, no, you don't own a license!
All the things you could possibly think of.
Oh, and then the mixer, it locked up.
The mixer was feeling exactly like us.
What do I do? 
So, we had to take the batteries out.
And then that meant that it wiped everything; all the settings.
So, then we had to reset the settings.
And it's kind of like, I don't know, those of you besties of a certain age might remember having to program your VCR. It's similar to that. It's not intuitive and it is a real pain in the ass just to set the date and time on it. But you need that.
Yes, you do.
Because... otherwise, you don't know what you've done.
Yeah, you don't know what the recording is.
Anyway, but we are we are doing it now.
Yeah, that's right.
We're squared it away.
We're recording.
So, what did you do on your summer vacation, Cara? 
Oh, I happened to have made a list of things because there's no way I was going to remember everything that we did.
Let's do it.
OK, so Sean had surgery to correct his broken nose.
Oh, that's right.
I know.
And thant was right after our last podcast.
Yeah, that feels like ages ago.
It was ages ago.
He looks great.
OK.
And he can breathe so much better.  He's a happier person.
Nice.
One of my aunts passed away.
Oh, yeah.
Sean had a birthday and we celebrated all week. We just like movies and went to the Alamo and ate really good food and went kayaking. And it was really fun. Um Sean moved some piles of crap…
Yeah…
…and turned our library/my crappy office into the library/my better office/my hobby room!
 Yes.
So, now I've got like a room where I can do all my hobbies and my crafting. And then immediately after we got that set up, we started remodeling the bathroom. So, then that office, because it was so clean and wide open and organized, became the staging area for our bathroom remodel. So, I haven't done any crafting.
Is it cleaned up now?
Um It's getting there, but it's not quite like there's shit all over the floor still.
Great.
Because the bathroom is not quite done.
Right.
The bathroom is about 80 % done. We've ordered the countertops and the sink. That's what's next.
Right.
Everything else is operational. 
And somebody else is installing those.
Yes. They will bring they're going to come out and measure next week and then the following week they will install. But we did everything else. We like tore this thing down to the studs.
It's unbelievable. 
And started over. And it looks like a flippin' spa.
I'm so impressed.
It's nice.
Yeah, it looks like a fancy hotel bathroom.
It does, it does.
It's very nice.
So, we did that.
I started back at choir at MSU.
Oh yes.
Cause I had taken a hiatus from that when Sean's dad got sick.
Yes.
Then he passed away. Then we had to liquidate the estate. So, I haven't been to choir for like two years.
 How is it? 
It's so fun! Oh my gosh. I'd forgotten. So, it was kind of good for me to take a little break because I'm having a lot of fun with that. And then Springfield Symphony has started up again. We have season tickets. So, we're like totally into that. And then football is back.
Yes.
I'm totally into that. So, that's pretty much caught you up over the last, what, four months.
Yeah. So, I did a lot of nothing over the summer.
I don’t believe that!
I really did.
Nothing I planned, anyway. So, I did not get edits back from my editors or finish my book, which was what I really wanted to get done this summer while we weren't podcasting. That was kind of the whole point. Um I did not purge or organize my house. There's more shit in my house than ever. In fact, yesterday we had Michaela and uh Caleb and over and we were pulling extra chairs around the table to eat dinner and Clint had to go get my office chair from our bedroom and it's quite the ordeal to get that thing out of our room and he was like, this house just has so much shit. And I was like, well, you're welcome to start cleaning it out. I did read a ton.
Yes, she did.
I read a ton of books this summer. Mostly chick lit and that was really fun. And then I watched gobs of shows and I listened to podcasts and I colored in my black and white coloring book.
Yes.
 Or monochrome, whatever you want to call it.
Um while feeling quite crap for most of the summer.
Yes.
I also got my boobs squished, my teeth cleaned, and my lady bits palpated and scanned and all the things.
That's great!
You know, because an insurance company needs that so that they can say, sure, you can remove parts of your body that you own that are doing nothing but causing problems and your doctor says it's cool.
Dumb.
Dumb.
So, in two weeks, I am having all of my lady bits removed from inside. So, I'm having a full hysterectomy. I'm going to call it um Emancipation Day. In the meantime, I have one more period that's gonna hit.
 Oh No. Do you want to have like a farewell party? 
No, I don't. I just want to cry that I even have to have another one. I'm just like, eh no.
 Yeah, that sucks.
And then, you know, we did go to Minneapolis in May. 
Oh yeah, right!
Over Memorial Day.
That feels like a thousand years ago.
That was a thousand years ago. And it was grand. And we caught up with some people, some work people and Went to Mall of America and the zoo and Fort Snelling, etc. We had a lot of fun and it was beautiful there. The weather was so amazing. People were truly Minnesota nice and um I traveled for work over the summer.
Right.
A bit more than usual. And I did a lot of people watching at airports.
 Brea spent a lot of time at airports.
A lot.
That sucked.
Yeah, I got stuck multiple times and I worked a ton because it was a VVB summer at work. Still is.
Yeah.
I'm working in the background while we're recording this.
Yes! She’s got shit going on over here on her computer.
I'm monitoring from afar.
Anyway, so yeah, nuts. Nutsy Fagan. I'm so glad we took a hiatus.
Oh my gosh. I wouldn't have been able to do this. I just wouldn't be able to do it.
No, we would have constantly been like, I can't do it this week.
Yeah, or I have one terrible search.
Yeah.
That's going to last 30 seconds.
All of my searches would have been like, how do I get another flight out of here? Or what does it mean when you're bleeding so hard you can't get off the toilet? Not fun searches.
No, those are not fun searches.
So, do you want to tell our DTH besties about the changes we've made? We're going to do a little bit of a switch up here. And the reason for that is for the exact reasons we were just talking about is we're still very busy.
Yes! So we're going to squish these down just a little bit so, they won’t be quite as long as they were. Except that we do talk a lot, so that may be a lie.
We'll see.
We are going to only cover one search per week rather than a list of three.
Yeah.
We're going to change up Search Me! just a little bit a little bit a little game.
Uh-huh.
Cara can't keep score anymore. I just can't keep score anymore. It's just too much. 
Okay…
I can't keep track of it so, it's only going to be trivia.
Yeah, it's just trivia quizzing each other and if you get it right you get it right if you don't oh well.
Oh well, it doesn't matter.
What else Brea, let's see shorter episodes One topic per week, less harried hosts…that's about it.
I think so, too.
Would you like to kick this pig and go for it? 
Sure thing.
All right.
Let's get into…Search Me!
This is time for us to play a little game where we ask each other one trivia question from our week's internet searches.
So, this isn't just random stuff. It has to do with what we searched this week.
Yeah.
And so this one's going to be kind of mean to you this week.
Why? 
Because I don't think you're going to get it.
Oh, OK.
But you might.
OK.
All right.
I'm ready.
Sean and I over the weekend went to a concert here in Springfield. And it's one of our favorite musical artists, and he has been nominated for 46 Grammys. He has won 19 Grammys and is known for his genre bending musical talent on the banjo.
Oh!
This particular concert was one of his collaborations and he does lots of collaborations. He likes to work with talented artists. This group is a trio and they called themselves the BeaTrio. And it was with drummer Antonio Sanchez from Mexico and harpist Edmar Castañada from Columbia.
Who did we go see?
Geez. I know zero banjoists except for Steve Martin.
Ah! You know what? That's a really good guess.
That's was my guess.
 The answer is Bela Fleck.
 Oh.
Now some of you might know him from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.
Yes, the Flecktones.
He was here maybe a couple of years ago with his wife Abigail Washburn. She's amazing. Um He's done lots of stuff. So, he was here like in 2008 with Tuvan throat singers. So, he does crazy collaborations and he is incredible.
Do you see him every time he comes to every time he comes to town?
Every time he comes to town we get tickets. I don't even look up to see what he's doing or if it's just him or if he's...I don't even look. I just know he's here, we're getting tickets.
There you go.
Period.
Easy.
This was incredible. Y'all. It was just unbelievable.
Cool.
I have no words. It was mind boggling. At the Gilloz.
 Oh, so it was a nice smaller venue.
Yeah, and I really like that. So, sometimes they usually with the Flecktones, they go to Juanita K. because the Flecktones are a little more widely known. They need a bigger venue. But I like the intimate setting of the Gilloz because it feels like you're just at one of their jam sessions.
Yeah.
It's awesome.
Yeah, for sure. It's a very small venue. Cool.
All right. That's my search.
Okay. So, my question for you today is what is depicted in the original Olive Garden logo? If you need some choices, I can give you some.
All right.
Okay.
I feel like...No, go ahead.
Okay. Are you picturing it or trying to? 
I am. I'm trying to picture it.
Here are your choices.
Okay.
Is it a wine bottle with red or purple wine? Is it an olive? Or is it a bunch of grapes? 
Oh, I was going to say a bunch of grapes!
You're right.
 Jackie and I, Jackie had a job interview at Olive Garden.
Excellent.
 And she said, I don't like their new logo. And I was like, yeah, I like their older logo better. But then I was like, but I can't remember what it looks like. And I said, didn't it have like a wine bottle on it or a wine glass? And then she was like, I don't know. And she just sat there and I was like, all right, I'll look it up. It was going to drive me crazy. So, I looked it up and then she went in for her interview. So, excellent. Good story. Well, great story, Bibi!
At least Olive Garden didn't have the debacle like uh Cracker Barrel did. Oh girl…What? You're looking at me like you hadn't heard about that. You did not hear about people losing their mind when they took the old timer off of their signs and updated the logo and changed they were going to change the stores? You didn't hear about this? 
No, I guess I'm out of touch with Cracker Barrel.
Well, there was no way to miss it because people were throwing such a fit.
When was this? 
Oh gosh, maybe a month ago.
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
People lost their minds.
That makes sense because I have not looked at any kind of news or anything. Well, I mean I have, but very select topics. 
They threw such a fit that Cracker Barrel said, okay, we won't change anything.
Are you kidding? 
They went back. They reverted. I told my co-workers I wish I could get that many people upset about something that matters.
Yeah. That'd be amazing but no -- that Cracker Barrel logo better change back to the way it was! You know, I'm exasperated at that, but at the same time, I kind of understand a little bit that the world is such a shit show right now. That people are like, please, please just leave all of my usual comforts alone.
You know what? That's an excellent point.
Like, please, I can't handle it.
That's an excellent point. And I understand that.
But that's as far as I can go with being diplomatic about it.
I'm with you. I can see that.
Holy shit. That's too funny.
I love that you hadn't heard about it.
Nope.
I'm just in my own little corner of the world watching Netflix coloring in my coloring book and uh counting down the days till they suck all that crap out of my body. That's my life right now.
 So, you're not really sharing time with people…
Not really, no…
But how about a little Shared History with our DTH Besties? 
I would love to do that.
Let's do it.
We're going to tell you our DTH Besties, the most interesting thing we learned this week.
Okay.
Yeah.
My search I'm going to tell you guys about is how does a cochlear implant work? Now I kind of know, we all kind of know how a cochlear implant works. I mean, you get the gist.
I guess I know about how it works about as well as I know like how a television works.
 Well, I'm about to enlighten you.
You know, like I know that it works.
Right.
And there's things involved…
That's a great description!
But if somebody said to me, how does it work? I would not be able to tell you.
OK.
Yeah.
So, a cochlear implant, for those of you who don't know, a cochlear implant is used to help people who have lost their hearing to hear again. But they are beyond the use of hearing aids.
Right.
Like it's not you're not using the external ear to help.
uh uh magnify sound right and and you can get one if you have a congenital hearing yes uh disability as well correct that's correct like if you're born with no hearing but i have some infre interesting information about that okay okay so a cochlear implant sends sounds past the damaged part of the ear straight into the hearing nerve called the cochlear nerve so implants use a sound processor that fits behind the ear and pulls in sounds from around the outside of the ear and it sends signals to a receiver that's been implanted under the skin behind your ear.
 Right.
The receiver sends the sound signals down an attached thin wire which holds tiny sound electrodes that have been placed inside the snail shaped inner ear cavity called the cochlea.
The sound signals trigger the cochlear nerve.
The nerve then sends the signals to the brain and then the brain hears those signals as sounds.
What? Yeah.
It takes time and training to learn to hear the signals from the cochlear implant as words.
So, your brain has got to relearn because it's not hearing sound vibrations.
It's pulling in a signal oh rather than hearing sound that's vibrating through the air.
Within three to six months of use, most people begin to understand the signals as speech.
Cochlear implants may be put in one ear or both ears.
Adults often have one cochlear implant and one hearing aid at first, but then move to two cochlear implants as their hearing loss gets worse with the ear that's using the hearing aid.
Cochlear implants are often put in both ears at the same time in children who have severe hearing loss in both ears.
And this is most often done in infants and children who are just learning to speak.
 Right now, implants are partially outside the head and partially inside the head.
But researchers are looking at making a totally implantable system where all of the parts of the cochlear implant would be under the skin and unseen, which would be pretty cool.
 Oh, yeah.
Because right now, you have to take that thing off when you shower, when you swim, you have to charge it.
You have to remove it to charge it.
em So, here's how it's implanted.
I thought this was pretty interesting too.
uh So, the surgeon will make a small cut behind the ear, uh followed by a small hole in the mastoid where the internal device sits.
So, the mastoid, if you feel behind your ear, there's like a bony projection, and that is a projection off your temporal bone.
 That is the mastoid.
Very easy to find.
So, the surgeon makes a small opening in the cochlea.
which is that snail-shaped fluid-filled cavity in your inner ear.
 Then through that tiny opening, that's where they thread the electrode, and so it curls around the cochlea, and that's the internal device.
 Yeah.
Then the skin is stitched closed, and so then the uh internal device is closed up under the skin.
 so then the external device sits on your ear, like a hearing aid does.
The whole surgery from prep to post-op is anywhere from two to four hours.
 Most people can go home this day of the surgery.
And then anywhere from one to four weeks after the surgery, an audiologist turns on the device and they make sure that the adjustments are all right, that it fits the wearer, and they do some hearing tests.
uh I thought that it just happened immediately.
Like day of surgery, you turn that thing on.
But have to heal, your ear has to heal from implanting that wire.
 And so it could be weeks before you hear anything.
oh Isn't that awful? But now that you've explained this, I feel like I can perform this surgery.
For sure.
It's super easy.
Well, you said, know, the mastoid is super easy to find.
You just make a little hole in it.
put a hole in it, thread that wire through there.
mean, I mean, the cochlea is going to guide it.
Right.
It'll be fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, you redid a whole bathroom, so I'm sure.
That's exactly right.
uh After the implant is turned on, the brain must learn how to process the sounds that you hear through the implant because they are signals.
They are not sounds.
At first, speech and everyday noises won't sound the same to the person who might have heard them normally, like you know, you and I hear through your ears.
Right.
So, when you get this implant, things are going to sound different because your brain doesn't know how to process what it's hearing.
Also, the people who get these implants, their ears weren't hearing things correctly anyway.
Well, maybe, but maybe not.
 um, oh, that's the next thing I was going to say.
 Cochlear implants most often work better for people who knew how to speak and read before hearing loss.
Children that are born with severe hearing loss often get best results when getting the cochlear implant at like such a young age, just as they're starting to talk and learn how to read and listen and understand.
If you get, if they're born deaf and then you wait too long, they're going to struggle and it might not even work.
 But for adults the best results for a cochlear implant typically is the less time between your hearing loss to the implant.
That's when you're gonna get the best results.
 Right.
And typically if you're an adult who was born deaf and you've not heard anything your whole life, the cochlear implant is not gonna work for you.
Really? Yeah.
Because you don't even know...
 You don't know what you're listening for.
Your brain just doesn't even know.
Ow.
Isn't that crazy? That's such a bummer.
It is.
I'd never known that before.
What about all those videos where they're like, she just heard her mom's voice for the first time? Well, that's a little kid.
Yeah, but yeah, sometimes it is a little kid.
Oh, it always is a little kid and those videos make me cry.
Oh my gosh.
Have you ever seen the videos of the kids getting glasses for the first time? Oh, no.
 I can't watch them without crying.
Oh my gosh.
Every time.
They're always like, They're so cute and their glasses are so small.
 know they're so tiny.
My source for that was the good old Mayo Clinic, our pal and trusty source.
Mayo Clinic, you're the best.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Stick with it.
Please don't.
Yeah.
Please don't disappoint me.
 I can't handle it.
 Well, this is very different from your search.
Great.
Are you ready? Yes.
 Do you know anything about the K-pop Demon Hunters?  Okay.
 I know just what I've seen on social media.
And what's so funny about that is I thought of it today and I wondered if you had watched it because I was going to ask you about it.
 I have not watched it.
Oh shoot.
But Quinn, my granddaughter.
Oh yes.
Who's six.
She's about turn seven.
 yes.
That's right.
This next weekend, right? This coming weekend.
 She's currently obsessed with this movie.
 And she plays the music on her tablet all the time, even when she's doing other things, like she has it on as background music.
It's like, wow.
 And I specifically searched K-pop Demon Hunters this past week because I was looking for a gift bag to put her birthday presents in.
 And I guess I could have made it because I did make a pretty sweet Peppa the pig.
Yes, you did.
Or Peppa Pig? Peppa Pig.
 Gift bag once for her.
It's true.
But I was like, oh, I just don't know if I can.
I don't have it in me.
 The bag I found was on Etsy and it was beautiful and blah, blah, blah.
But I want you and our listeners to know and to be just as in the know about this trend as the youths.
 Thank you.
Are you ready? Yes.
OK, so.
K-Pop Demon Hunters is an animated film that was released in 2025, which we're still in.
it feels weird to say that.
And it quickly became a global sensation.
It's now the most watched original title in Netflix history.
Oh my gosh.
As of the very end of September, 2025.
And it was the first Netflix film to top the US box office with a limited theatrical release.
Oh, so it did so well on Netflix that they're like, Hmm, let's make some more dollar dollar bills and put this up in theaters.
I didn't know it went to theaters.
Okay.
Probably didn't hear, but that's not in big places.
Yes.
So, here's the story.
It's a musical urban fantasy about a K-pop girl group.
Okay.
Huntrix.
 They're secretly a trio of demon hunters.
They use their music and magical abilities to battle a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, Saja, Saja, I don't know how to pronounce it because I've never watched this thing, who are actually a demonic group bent on taking over the world.
No! Yes.
 This is dark.
I mean, demons.
The hero group consists of Rumi, the leader and lead singer, Mira, the dancer and spiritual guide, That would be me.
And Zoe, the youngest member, who is a tech whiz.
 Oh, of course.
You to have one of those in every K-pop band.
Yes, of course.
And the villains, the Saja boys.
S-A-J-A.
 I know I'm probably totally butchering that because it comes from the South Korean word.
So, sorry, guys.
They're a five member group of demons.
 Each with a different power and their goal is to steal hunters fans to weaken a magical barrier that keeps demons from taking over the world.
Wait, you lost me.
Their goal, the demon boy's goal is to steal the fans of hunters.
 For why? Why does that matter? To weaken a magical barrier that keeps demons from taking over the world.
So, the more fans the hunters have, it keeps the demons out.
It keeps the barrier strong.
No, no.
Oh, okay.
The more hunters fans that they steal, the weaker the barrier is and allows the demons to take over the world.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
The hunters, the more fans the hunters have, the stronger the barrier is.
right, right, right.
Okay.
Yes.
the more fans the hunters lose to the demon boy.
Correct.
It makes perfect sense now.
Oh, right.
Of course.
 Yeah.
So, here's the educational angle.
OK.
Because it is rooted in Korean mythology.
 Oh, OK.
So, also it's, you know, K-pop.
 Yes.
 Now I have somebody in my house who still lives in my house who really loved K-pop when he was a little person.
 much littler person and it was adorable and he really, really liked it a lot.
um And now he just, how cringe is that? He looks back on it and is just- It's uncool now? Well, you know, for him.
Oh, I see.
He's moved on.
He's too old for that.
I see.
Yeah.
Anyway, but the movie is a love letter to K-pop culture from the highly choreographed dance numbers and catchy songs to the intense fan culture.
Hey, as for the Korean mythology, the film's story is deeply rooted in Korean mythology and demonology.
 Oh, the term Saja, for example, refers to the Korean word for grim reapers oh or messengers of the underworld.
The magical barrier, the barrier, the hunters protect is called the Han moon.
All this to say that.
Kids are crazy for this.
There's merchandise, gift bags, like I said, I bought a big one this weekend.
um It's actually like a tote bag, because I thought this would be great, because then she can keep reusing it.
 I'm all about it.
Save the world, peeps.
 And um there's music from it that everybody's like totally into, obviously.
I said that, that Quinn listens to it all the time.
The soundtrack is a major part of the movie's has songs like Golden and Soda Pop, which have both charted on the Billboard Top 100.
Oh my goodness.
Okay, now I'm curious if this movie and presentation remind you of anything from our childhood.
Um, so the first thing that kind of popped into my mind was Power Rangers.
Yes.
 There are a lot of parallels with Power Rangers um and how much of a craze it was.
yes.
 And then what else, like, are you going like the way back machine, like Superman or not Superman, He-Man and She-Ra? Like I'm talking about maybe a pink haired hero like singer and her holographic bandmates.
 The woman who is the voice of Jim, the original, one of my friends met her this weekend.
She was in town.
He met Jim.
Jerrica slash Jim? Yes.
 Oh my gosh.
 He sent me a picture.
Does she have pink hair? No, she doesn't look like Jim.
 Shockingly.
 But yeah, you're right.
em Jim and the holograms does have a...
 you know, that magical, well, I mean, she was truly outrageous.
Of course.
 So, here are some of the similarities between Jim and the K-pop demon hunters.
 Hunters.
Both of the stories center on a protagonist with a secret double life.
um Jerrick Abenton becomes the pop star Jim with the help of a holographic computer.
Uh.
Named.
Oh.
 Oh.
Give me the first letter.
Synergy.
Yes.
 Similarly, the members of Hunters are a K-pop group who secretly hunt demons.
 The band is the Hero Squad.
The core of the action in both shows is the band itself.
Jim and the Holograms are a four-member group who use their music to solve problems, while Hunters is a trio of heroes who use their K-pop skills to fight evil.
 Because K-pop skills fight evil.
 You can dance that evil way.
 Oh boy.
 Both series feature a rival band as the primary antagonist.
Jem and the holograms constantly clash with the mischievous and scheming.
Misfits.
That's right.
While hunters battles the demonic Saja boys.
 Saja boys.
I'm just going to go with that.
Sounds good.
The power of music for both.
Music isn't just a backdrop.
 It's a weapon.
Yes.
Gems music videos often serve as a way to thwart the misfits plans and in k-pop demon hunters, the group's songs are explicitly their primary way of fighting demons.
I'm gonna love it.
Are you gonna watch it? Heck yeah, I'm gonna watch it.
I've been meaning to.
Oh man.
But my life has been nothing but bathroom.
This sounds like something we need to watch while doing some paper crafts or...
Oh yes.
Drinking heavily.
That also sounds good.
 Taking a couple gummies.
 Can you imagine? I would just end up going to sleep with a gummy.
It would do us no good at all.
 I would be like, now what just happened? uh Because I have the worst, like my brain just can't hold on to anything.
 I'll be like, one minute I'll be fine and then the next minute I'll be like...
Well, who's that person? Like if I'm trying to watch something, who's that person? It would be a train wreck.
My sources were Wikipedia, obviously.
Obviously.
The Guardian, Screen Rant, KED Global, Tatler Asia, GamesRadar Plus.
Wow.
And that's it.
That's a lot of sources.
Yeah.
I mean, I went deep.
I love that you covered that one because I literally was going to ask you about it today.
That is the funniest thing.
Oh, yeah.
One brain.
Yep.
Yep.
