Maybe we could put a link to that commercial in our show notes.
I wouldn't know how to do that.
I'm just kidding.
okay, I was gonna explain it to you.
Well, you see, there's the thing on the computer, and it's called the internet.
Oh my gosh, And you look up anything, and it's basically there.
Oh my gosh.
So, then you right click on the thing that you want, and you copy it.
But where do the people on the internet live? In the internet.
Oh, in my computer? Yes, in your computer.
They're so flat.
With you the sun is shining 24 7 cuz  when we're together  It feels like we're in heaven if it will get dark.
You'll be my million stars  Welcome to episode 15 of Delete This History of podcasts by two besties of a certain age searching for answers.
We're your hosts,  Brea Brown.
I'm Cara Burch.
Hello, Cara.
Yo,  your sweater is so cute.
Oh, thank you.
I love it.
It's my husband's.
I love a zipper in the, it's just a,  it's really scratching on my itches in terms of sweaters.
It's a man's sweater.
It doesn't look like it though.
You make it look very feminine.
I had a real bad attitude this week.
were a little grumpy.
You know how life sometimes just beats you down? I know.
I have a PSA for some drivers.
Oh, let's hear it.
When there's a city bus stopped and there's two, two lanes,  you know, like a four lane road, but two lanes on one side.
And there's a city bus stopped in one of the lanes because they're at a bus stop  picking up or letting people off.
You have to stop behind the city bus.
You can't just  swerve to go around the city bus  and not care about who else is in the left lane.
I had two people  just on my way to work on Thursday, almost hit me.
Oh geez.
Because they just like.
They're like, oh, I'm not going to wait behind this bus while it does its thing.
And they just swerved out into my lane while I was  passing.
what the heck? The second dude, it was like downtown.
You know how tight it is  through there.
I had to lay on my horn.
I mean, lay on it.
And people drive way too fast through downtown.
I cannot believe there aren't more accidents or pedestrians  hit down there.
I mean, it's a one way street.
fly down there.
There's nowhere to swerve.
Yeah.
Cause it's just like...
boxed in.
Yeah.
It's downtown.
People be dumb.
So, anyway, that did not help my mood.
Yeah.
At all.
sure.
The sun is helping my mood though.
It is very shiny and bright today.
It is a beautiful sunny day.
I fixed my Android auto for reals this week.
And it's working okay? Yes.
Have you tried to use the map? Yes.
Yay! It all works.
You really are a tech guru.
I mean listeners probably think it's been working this whole time because I never gave any update that it was not working again.
That's Cause I was ashamed.
was like, Oh man, I bragged about how I fixed it.
And I was kind of  embarrassed about that, that it wasn't really fixed.
But it's not your fault.
It was a thing where you had to go into  certain settings, tap something seven times to turn it into developer mode.
I am not even kidding you.
It was like tap this seven times, turn around in a circle,  do a blood oath.
mean,  was the weirdest.
So, now you've performed a blood oath to Google? I have.
Oh no.
Ty will only tell what that means.
I hate to tell Caleb, but they've got my firstborn child.
He's scurried.
You heard it here first.
um Yeah, I was like, who  could ever know this? The person who answered on this forum  had to have been some kind of a developer  for Android to give that advice.
And everybody on the forum was like, oh my gosh, thank God, thank you, thank you so much, that worked.
Well, hey Google, many people are having a problem with it.
Like  Google send out an effing message.
Has anyone told Google to read this forum?  I don't know.
I'm wondering it.
It worked.
If anybody else is having problems  with Android auto working with their cars,  let me know.
I'll hook you up.
Yeah.
Contact Brea through our DMS social media stuff, know, Delete This History podcast at gmail.com.
Yeah.
Do it.
I'll, help you.
That's awesome.
Um, congratulations, man.
It was great.
But enough about me, how about you? Oh, what's been going on this week? don't even know.
So, I got family stuff going on, so that's taking up a lot of time.
You have your family Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Yeah, my side of the family.
My parents were going to go over there and eat a lot of food.
What are you making? Well, OK, because we've got so much family stuff going on,  my mom volunteered to make the thing I always make,  which is deviled eggs.
I'm the deviled egg.
family member.
Yes, but you make such good deviled eggs.
do.
I've gotten really good at it, but she said, don't worry about it.
Cause everything is just so up in the air.
Like we may have to drop everything and  go to the hospital.
But  so mom's going to go ahead and make deviled eggs.
However, I felt really bad about not taking anything.
Cause I think we're going to be able to go.
The plan is to go.
So, I'm, I bought all the crap to make rice crispy treats.
Cause that's so easy and so fast.
I can do that in like, 10 minutes flat.
Yeah.
So, I'll be able to show up with something and who doesn't like rice krispie treats? Everybody loves rice krispie treats.
Every time I make those, think, Oh my word, why don't I make these more often? I know.
And it's probably a good thing you don't make them more often.
Yeah.
Cause you know, the tray is gone in like two days.
They're so easy to make and so delicious.
nom nom nom.
What else do you want to talk about? I got nothing.
Well, that's probably Okay, cause we're not here to bitch about bad drivers or bad tech.
Crazy weeks.
We are here to share our internet search histories.
Yes, we are.
And we do that with...
The reading of the lists.
Correct.
I get to go first.
Episode 15, girl.
I know.
This is the segment where we tell you our top five most interesting, funniest, most successful searches of the week in list form.
My list for this week is...
Doc Martin patient names,  disorder resulting in wide open crazy eyes,  slash runaway bride.
Number three,  Teddy Roosevelt, young pictures slash hot historical figures.
uh Number four, bones used in sugar refining.
Number five, the better...
 I think you may have just  ruined sugar for me for the rest of my  life.
I'll fix it for you later.
Okay, good.
Number five, the Better Angels Society.
Okay.
I only have four this week.
Okay.
Number one, call the midwife Christmas special slash season six of the crown.
Number two, major league baseball pitch clock.
Number three, what is Clamado?  or Clemato.
I don't know.
You say Clemato, I say Clemara.
Exactly! Which way is it? I don't know.
Number four, Olympia Dukakis.
Now it's time to play a little game we like to call Search Me! Where we each pose one question to each other and see if we can answer based only on the reading of the list.
Cara? Yes, yes, yes.
Today you're playing for...
Oh! This Kansas City Chief's Pouch.
love it.
I could put candy in that.
You could put candy.
You could put cables.
Oh, cables is a good idea.
You could put  makeup.
Mm-hmm.
You could put anything in there.
Lots of different things.
I put my weed in there.
It's a perfect weed bag.
Gummy bag? Your gummies would fit perfectly in there.
Oh, yes.
All right.
Okay.
I'm put it right here  to inspire me to get this question right.
Okey-dokey.
Here we go.
Your question is, which search this week resulted in absolute horror on my part and almost made me swear off one of my favorite food groups.
Oh, well, it's probably the same thing I did.
Okay.
Let me, I'm going to read through these.
I mean, it's gotta be bones used in sugar refining.
You're correct.
I hope this has a happy ending.
Um, does it? Oh my gosh.
Seriously? Okay.
This is super gross.
But I'm very interested.
I was watching the American Buffalo by Ken Burns.
Yes.
It's excellent by the way.
I don't know if it's four hours worth of  excellent  tuned in watching.
did doze off a little bit,  but you doze off a lot.
Yeah, you watch stuff.
It was a lot of Buffalo watching four hours is a lot.
just say that.
So,  they were talking about how  people had come in and hunted the buffalo to near extinction.
mean like real real close.
And they were talking about the piles and mounds of buffalo bones  everywhere.
I mean  first of all the waste.
Right.
Because the Native Americans when they would kill a buffalo or several buffalo It was for hides.
was for the meat.
was for the fat.
was, I mean, they used everything,  every single piece of that animal they used.
And  the buffalo hunters that came in, basically all they cared about was the hide.
They didn't care about anything else.
So, then these carcasses were just left to rot.
on the prairies and then there would just be bones and I mean just stacks of bones and they showed this picture of this mound of bones like at a  like at a train station and they said they were shipping them off to sugar refineries to use as bone char in the sugar refining process  and I thought  please tell me that's not a thing but it is.
Still?  Still.
Today.
So, white  sugar made from sugar cane is sometimes  refined and made white using animal bones burnt and charred I don't even know how this works  they  skimmed over it and then I read a little bit about it online and I was like oh my god I didn't really want to get too deep into it because that's disgusting  and I mean I'm not a vegan and I don't like to think too much about the animal products and food  jello  It's never been the same for me.
Right.
Since I was a teenager and I found out what makes jello.
I don't like to know how the sausage is made.
Stuff like this makes me crazy.
Why? Why, why, why, why, Why? And who thought of this? Oh my gosh, that was my next question.
Oh, okay.
Who discovered this? Yeah.
I got to, I have so many questions.
Who said, I know what we can do.
This sugar's too brown.
I know how we can, like, first of all, who decided that was necessary? Right.
Why does it have to be white?  I don't know.
And then why do we still do it?  Yes.
Because it is true.
It is still done.
Okay.
With sugar made with cane sugar.
That's how they refine it.
They use bone char is what they call it.
Now for what it's worth.
The chemical compounds have supposedly broken down to the point that there are no animal byproducts  by the time the sugar is sold.
That's why they don't have to put it on the labels.
That's why they don't have to say anything about it because it's not part of the end product.
It literally just bleaches the sugar.
Now you can get around this if this bothers you like it bothers me.
You can get around this by  buying raw sugar.
which is the brown  sugar or white sugar made from sugar beets.
Sugar beets, sugar beets beets.
Thank you Sesame Street.
Yep.
So, you just have to  read the label and see if it's made from cane sugar oh or sugar cane or sugar beets.
So, sugar beets, no bone char necessary.
Guess what? Sugar cane,  no bone char necessary for you either.
Not necessary.
don't understand.
So, is it just a cheap way of, I don't understand.
know I have so many questions.
I don't either.
And I was just like, I just can't, I can't.
Wow.
I can't go any further with You've gotten all of us this far.
We can pick it up from here and do some deeper dives and ruin our life.
Yeah.
If you want to.
The thing is they're not killing animals in order to do this.
Right.
That's another thing.
What animals are they using? in any kind of slaughtering or whatever, you're going to have bones.
they're just using bones that would be used  for gelatin  or...
So, the sugar industry is next door to the beef industry and they're like, hey Bob, can you run next door and give us a pile of bones? I don't even think it has, it doesn't have to be beef.
mean, cause they were using buffalo bones.
Oh, good point.
So, it doesn't have to be cow or whatever, but  they're basically just using trash.
Wow.
You know what's  really stuck in my brain right now? What? Peanut M &Ms.
They're tainted now.
Well, they have a lot of sugar in them, but who knows if they use refined sugar.
exactly.
Who knows?  Who knows exactly?  And that's the thing they don't have to tell us.
Wow.
You've broken this wide open.
I'm sorry.
Most of the time I'm just like, let me just shove this in my mouth.
Who cares?  Nom nom nom nom.
Wow.
Wow!  Unbelievable! know what? Jell-O is still going strong and everybody pretty much knows about that.
I don't really see sugar going anywhere.
Hot dogs, people still eat them.
You know, including me.
All recipes, Google discussions, bone char, sucrose.
Those were my sources.
All right, so  what do you have for me? Okay, girl.
You are so lucky.
Lucky girl.
Today in this brown bag,  you're playing for...
Oh, good sounds.
A variety.
How did I word this?  It's a bag of hair products that you or someone in your household might like to use.
Oh my goodness.
My kids love your,  your cast off hair product.
All of these have either been used once or twice.
So, they're practically new.
Excellent.
This one I think you will take.
Oh, do love the Dove dry shampoo.
Dry shampoo.
This, um, I'm I think I'm either allergic to it or something like it does weird stuff to my hair and then I pay for it later.
does weird things to your scalp, doesn't it? Yes.
Yeah.
You're, you're a delicate flower.
I'm a delicate flower.
So, I, it either has to be like that just straight up shake on powder or I found that the one that you told me about it, it works fine.
doesn't bother me.
British one.
Batiste.
Yes.
Batiste.
Yeah.
That's right.
That's good stuff.
Yes.
So, you don't get any of that.
I'm keeping that myself.
Yeah.
That's the stuff I use most of the time.
The rest of this  is either the Aussie brand, know?  Oh, Jackie will love that.
So, this is, and most of this is like curl stuff.
Cause what I was trying to do  was wash my hair  and then do an air dry.
Just,  I was just so sick of using the hairdryer and the straightener.
I'm sick of it.
I can't just let my hair.
Air-dry with products in it.
It looks worse than if I just don't do anything.
it like my hair is wet? No, it's not or is it just frizzy? Sometimes it's just mostly frizzy Sometimes it's my hair is wet.
No, it's not but then it just it just pulls it all down and I look like a wet baby rat most of the time  So, so does it make your hair like greasy? It just makes it heavy.
Cause you have such thin hair.
It's so thin.
And fine hair.
So, it weighs it down too much.
And then it makes it super stringy.
And so I just look like a witch.
Anytime I use hair products, I look like a witch.
There are seven products in here.
That is a sweet grab bag of products.
If you can answer this question.
All right.
Pull up my searches.
Oh yeah.
I'm ready.
Which of my searches took place while having coffee with Hopper this week? discussing two shades of pink called  blush and bashful.
Olympia Dukakis.
The way you said it, that's how I knew.
Thank goodness.
That's correct.
Did you guys talk about Steel Magnolias?  Somehow we got on the topic of that.
think Hopper said she needed to watch Steel Magnolias and I said  I watched it last week.
Did you really? Yeah I did.
oh That movie makes me cry so hard.
It's  such a tearjerker, but it's also so funny.
It is funny.
And so then we got to talking about her colors at her wedding and then we got to talk about who our favorite character was.
And at first I said Weezer  and then I was like, then I remembered Olympia Dukakis and I love Olympia Dukakis.
Like everything I see her in, she's just so good.
It's funny.
I used to think like, you know, when I was younger and I watched Steel Magnolias.
I used to think Weezer was so mean.
And now the older I get I'm like, I'm Weezer.
I know.
You are Weezer.
No, I mean, me too.
 I have a question for you about that.
If I had only known that that's who I was gonna be when I became an older person.
But she has a heart of gold.
She really does, but she's very impatient with people and I totally can relate with that.
How would you spell Weezer? I learned something today in my searches.
would spell it like  the group,  the band.
W-E-E-Z-E-R.
Same.
But it's not.
No.
No? Because her name...
Her character's real name is Louisa.
Right.
And apparently Weezer is a nickname.
O-U-I-Z-E-R.
Okay.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Her last name's Bordeaux.
Bordeaux.
Louisa Bordeaux.
I searched Olympia because I asked Hopper if she was still alive.
No, she's not.
She's not alive.
She died.
time ago.
No, it was May 1st of 2021.
What? I had killed her off like, I don't know, 20 years ago.
You kill off a lot of people.
I do kill off people all the time in my brain.
She was 89.
She died in New York City.
I'm just gonna do a really quick rundown of her because she's an interesting cat, but I'm not gonna cover everything because being 89 she had a full life.
She was very active too and busy.
Oh my gosh, so many movies.
Her parents were Greek immigrants.
She was an excellent athlete and academic.
She was a three time New England fencing champion.
She attended Boston University where she majored in physical therapy and treated patients with polio at the height of the epidemic.
She later returned to Boston University and earned a master's degree in performing arts.
And that's when she began her career on the stage.
And she was in plays for a long time before she got into film.
And her last...
She was on stage was actually in 2003.
So, she continued to do plays even though  she became a film actor.
That was her first love  She won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Moonstruck I loved her in that  and she was in so many other films.
I'm not gonna list them You all just have to look it up yourself She was in  and she was such a chameleon like yeah They would have her be Greek in one film and then she would be Jewish in another film and like oh Yeah, they made her do all kinds of stuff And she was good with accents and she pulled it off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She was very good at vaccines.
She published an autobiography called ask me again tomorrow, a life in progress, which I bought on Amazon and plan to read in 2019 or 2018, a documentary about her life and career was screened at the DOC NYC film festival.
Her last screen performance was in 2021 in a film called not to forget.
My sources were IMDb Wikipedia and Hopper.
Good job, Hopper.
Speaking of friends.
Yeah.
We've been friends a very long time.
A very long time.
How long? Like 20 years.
That's called history.
History.
So, how about sharing some other types of history? Like maybe our internet search history for the week?  Yes.
Let's do it.
Okay.
We're going to stick with Ken Burns, the American Buffalo.
Oh, okay.
Something a little less disgusting.
That's great.
And it's not really even about that movie.
Okay.
I noticed that,  you know, when they talk about this documentary is brought to you by, they mentioned the Better Angel Society.
Oh.
And I thought, what's that? This is the main group that helped make American Buffalo, like funded it, along with viewers like you, of course.
Yes.
uh Just like me.
That always makes me feel good when PBS says that to me.
Anyway,  the Better Angels Society is kind of a big deal.
According to their website, they're the quote, preeminent organizations supporting American history documentary filmmakers,  advancing the use of their body of work to promote civic engagement and educate generations of students and lifelong learners.
That's, mean, that is a mission statement right there.
And those lifelong learners would be us.
our listeners.
Yes.
Just think of how much we've learned already today.
It's mind boggling, but it's a nonprofit organization that gives out awards and grants and such to make documentaries about history.
But it also participates in community outreach  and restoration projects.
You can go to their website, which is thebetterangelssociety.
org  where you can donate, but you can also look at all their different projects.
and they do restoration projects of like historical monuments and buildings and sites and things like that.
That's cool.
The 2023 winner of the Library of Congress, Levine slash Ken Burns Prize for Film, one of the society's yearly film prizes is Drop Dead City, New York on the Brink in 1975, which was directed by Peter Yost and Michael Rohaiten.
Sorry, Michael.
which takes a look at the fiscal crisis of 1975 that brought New York City to the brink of bankruptcy.
Oh, that sounds interesting.
Does it?  It doesn't sound interesting.
 I read it and I was like, hmm, well, I'm sure lots of other people would find that interesting.
it has some real buzzwords in there for me that kind of just turned me off.
Such as? Fiscal.
Bankruptcy.
oh Not all that interesting to me, personally.
But anyway, it's not all about ah me.
I'm sure it's done well.
It won a $200,000 prize.
Wow.
So, that's no small change.
And then the runner up was  $50,000.
And  this year it went to the disappearance of Miss Scott, which was directed by Nicole London  and tells the story of Hazel Scott, a victim of the Red Scare.
 Oh, she was a jazz singer, a Hollywood starlet  and something else.
Oh, a civil rights activist.
Okay.
And she was incorrectly and unjustly accused of being a communist.
I bet you would watch that one.
That is interesting to me.
Female director too.
Yes.
Love it.
That's really interesting.
This prize recognizes late stage documentaries that use original research and compelling narrative to tell stories that bring American history to life.
using archival materials, which is very, that's cool.
Very interesting to me.
Again, thebetterangelssociety.
org is the website.
If you want to check them out.
Nice.
I love history and I love documentaries.
Same.
All right.
My first search is something else that you and I love and share and it is British television.
I was curious because I knew we're coming up on the time of year that the midwife Christmas special had to be coming up soon.
Yes.
always miss it.
Well, aren't you like five seasons behind on that show? not quite.
I think I'm still finishing up season 11.
So, I need to finish 11 and finish 12 because 13 is what's coming up.
Okay.
So, I'm, I'm close.
You're, you're almost caught up with me because I'm not done with season 12.
don't think.
Well, I can tell you that the Christmas special for this year will be November 25th.
Like it's around the corner, baby.
It's next week.
That's next week.
Yeah.
Thanksgiving Thanksgiving.
We'll see  you.
week.
m Cara's already been in the mannish of it's more  Thanksgiving week.
got really excited and my mouth couldn't move as fast as my brain.
So, just putting that on your radar.
So,, you know, that kicks off the next season kind of,  and so then the first episode of season 13 of this amazing series  will be March  17th in the U S.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Then you got to wait.
Yes, you do.
It starts in January in Britain.
Yes.
But then they delay on, so you gotta wait till March.
Before you go on.
Yeah.
Tell listeners who might not know what is called the midwife.
Oh, well,  it's based off a trilogy of books written by Jennifer Worth.
And  it's all about  London.
Was it East London? I believe so.
Kind of in the  slums.
em in the late 50s early 60s.
I thought it was  early 50s.
Okay, maybe it was that  it probably is it probably is early now they're into the 60s.
They're in the 60s now.
Yeah.
But it's just about midwives and their jobs and what they went through and how they live.
They work and live with some nuns.
Yes.
Catholic nuns at  a Ninatis house.
Are there nuns that aren't Catholic? Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
I thought nunnery was just a Catholic thing.
Well now,  now I have something to search.
Okay.
Are there any nuns that aren't Catholic? So, they all live in this big house together and it's, it's just a very, it's such a sweet show.
Now you cry every single episode because something terrible happens or something very  endearing happens.
Heartwarming.
Very heartwarming.
Or just,  oh my gosh, there's just so many.
It's just one of those shows that just tugs at your heartstrings, but it's not  sentimental or sappy.
Right.
And it's very real with the problems that they experienced and the things that they're working through and the discoveries that they're making about certain drugs that  they were giving all pregnant women and  the outcomes.
And it's just a really fascinating show that has, it's so character driven and it's just so good.
The acting is good.
It's a great show.
So, anyway, that's beginning soon.
And IMDB thinks a contract for two more seasons have been agreed upon because they're saying season 16 will come out in 2026.
Telling you that that show's got to be a moneymaker.
It has to be.
It has to be.
Everybody loves it.
I I keep watching it.
Yeah.
And you don't even like babies.
I don't.
I don't like childbirth.
don't like, in fact, sometimes I fast forward through the childbirth part because I'm just like, I don't.
I don't need to hear the screaming.
don't need to see the  stuff.
Let's just fast forward and get to all there's the baby.
Yeah.
I mean, I like babies.
The baby's really cute, but it's when all the stuff, the liquids come out of them and the screaming begins.
They're so cute when they sleep.
Aren't they are really cute when they're silent.
Or when they're happy and awake and they're just looking at you and  their little.
That's about 1 % of the time.
know, which is why I don't have any.
Alright! The next thing is I wanted to know when the crown, because I am jonesing for the crown.
Man, I'd love that show.
And guess what? The first four episodes of season six are already available.
Netflix, it's out there! How did they bury that lead? Squee! I don't know.
So, I went, I just searched it and they're like, blah, blah.
The first four are already out there and the rest of the season is going to drop December 14th.
So,.
As of December 14th, you can watch the final season of The Crown.
It's the final season? It's it.
This is it.
It begins in 1997, eight weeks before Diana dies.
Oh crap.
Yep.
This is gonna be an intense season.
It's a rough season.
And I'm curious, I didn't want to do too much searching because I don't want to spoil anything for myself, but I'm curious if they're going to end this with the Queen's death.
If they're gonna go, if that's why they're calling this the last season, like are they just gonna, cause That's what they've been doing.
They've been following her.
Right.
So, I'm making an assumption here.
I'm  anticipating that is a long time.
I know though.
I know it is.
That's like 20 something years.
So, we'll see.
I'm going to be curious as to how they wrap this up.
They typically don't cover that long of a period and one season, I feel like last season they really jumped ahead a lot too.
Was it last season or maybe the season before?  When Diana showed up.
Yeah.
It, they fast forwarded through a lot of stuff.
Yeah, well.
Anyway.
I don't think they wanted to get into the nitty gritty of some things.
I wouldn't blame them.
That actress who played Diana.
Oh my gosh, I know.
It was creepy.
The first one, the first one or the second one? Cause the first one when she was super young, I was like, Ooh, ooh.
Yeah.
That  and.
Her, that's who I'm talking about.
Yeah.
You know, did you ever end up watching, um, the Kristen Stewart Diana movie.
no I did not.
should watch it.
Everybody says that and I just don't know if I can.
I have watched it twice.
I liked it so much.
Okay.
Just take a shot of vodka.
Oh my gosh, I was just going to say maybe someday when I'm really drunk and I'm having a bad day.
She  was just not my favorite actress.
Me neither.
Absolutely.
I just don't care.
I don't care to watch anything that she's in, but I like the subject British royalty enough.
It's interesting enough.
was like, I'll give it a shot.
It is really good.
Anyway.
so watch for the crown December 14th.
You can binge the whole thing.
Excellent.
Now my sources were IMDB, the New York times and town and country online magazine.
Oh, excellent.
My next search is Teddy Roosevelt young pictures slash  hot historical figures.
Oh my gosh.
All right.
I was watching the American Buffalo and they flashed an intriguing picture of Mr.
Teddy Roosevelt in his early twenties.
And I have to say,  girl.
I have never seen pictures of him  from  then, I guess.
Oh my gosh.
He was like, yeah.
When you say he was in his twenties, I didn't look at the date on it or.
I would guess so.
Cause I sent it to Cara of course.
And I was like, oh my gosh, look at this hottie.
It was so random.
Just all of a sudden I got this text message is Teddy Roosevelt was such a hottie when he was younger.
Well, I have history.
I have history with historical figures and.
seeing pictures of them when they're younger and being like, look at this hottie.
Most of the time it's the actors playing the historical figures.
Thomas Jefferson from John Adams.
Like Stephen Delane playing Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson in real life, never really a hottie.
But they picked a real good actor for him and John Adams.
But what happened to Teddy Roosevelt? that he went from that to...
Bully! I mean, what the heck with his monocle and I guess war and personal loss and being the president.
I guess that kind of ages you.
I was gonna say the presidency probably didn't help much.
Anyway, so that got me to thinking about other historical figures or celebrities who we may only think of as older Because that's when they became prominent or whatever.
Yes  or evil  But we're hot when they were young, okay,  are you ready? I'm so ready.
I have a kind of a statement to make before  I give you this list because  This is all just superficial.
This is all just what how they look  This is not an endorsement of any,  anyone's politics or anything these people did during their lives.
Some of them  are super problematic people.
We're going on looks here.
Yeah.
That they were attractive.
Okay.
Okay.
Are you ready? Absolutely.
Here's my list.
Joe Biden.
Oh yeah.
Look up some young pictures of him.
Okay.
John McCain.
Harry Houdini.
Oh.
Yeah.
Hunter S.
Thompson.
Oh.
Nikola Tesla.
Douglass.
Okay.
All we ever see of him is the crazy wild hair picture.
You know what picture I'm talking about.
100 % no.
Younger pictures of him.
He is really cute.
cutie.
Jack Kerouac.
Okay.
Almanzo Wilder.
Oh, no arguments there.
I knew that you would love that one, but he really was hot when he was younger.
He was hotter than the actor who played him on Little House on the Prairie.
He was  much more handsome.
that even possible? I don't know.
Ernest Hemingway.
Yes, I've seen young pictures of him and I would agree with you there.
Oh goodness.
Yes, he was attractive.
Ulysses S.
Grant.
Oh, Little Ulysses action.
Thomas Edison.
Okay.
Johannes Brahms.
Yeah.
Rockstar of his day.
Let me tell you.
Charlie Chaplin.
Yes.
Joseph Stalin.
He was good looking.
He was, but he, he was evil.
Okay.
Also, this is a very white  male list.
These were people, first of all, who had the money and the influence  to have their portraits made  and their pictures taken.
Also, I am a cis hetero woman.
And so that's why the list is male.
sense.
But feel free to send us your list of hot historical figures.
I have one.
Oh, he's not historical.
Nevermind.
Well, who?  When you said Frederick Douglass,  you know who popped in my head? I know.
Idris Elba.
Oh yes.
I just heard a song of his on the way here today, so I've kind of got Idris on my brain.
A song of his? Heck yeah! He sings songs?  Maybe you should search this for next week.
He was a DJ for a long time.
Okay.
So, he's got some songs out there that he sings and one of them is really good.
It's very recent.
Okay.
Well, that's  shocking to me.
I also don't typically like, um,  evil dictators, but Joseph Stalin made my list.
I understand.
Okay.
Um, my sources were Ranker, Brightside, history collection.com, American battlefield trust and Reddit.
Lovely.
All right.
You know how last week we really talked about Keith Hernandez a lot and baseball.
Yes.
It got me thinking about the pitching clock that we discussed.
All right.
So, I just looked up the rules cause I just know enough to be dangerous and spread a bunch of misinformation.
So, it was added obviously to speed up play  of just what you and I discussed about how long baseball is.
And so here are the rules.
The players have 30 seconds to resume play between batters and then between pitches.
Pitchers have 15 seconds when no one is on base or 20 seconds if there is someone on base.
So, they can take either 15 or 20 seconds to throw their pitch to prepare, get ready, spit,  scratch your crotch,  you know, all the things.
Yeah.
Toss the rosin bag.
Exactly.
A pitcher has to pitch before the clock expires.
So, it's like a play clock in football.
After the pitch, the clock restarts when the pitcher gets the ball back into his possession  and the catcher and the batter are in the circle around home plate.
So, once everybody's kind of settled and everything's the clock restarts,  batters must be in the box and alert to the pitcher within eight seconds left on the clock.
Oh, gotcha.
So, they can step out, do their practice swings.
They can't step out.
They have to be in the box.
have to be alert and paying attention  within eight seconds.
And batters can call time  one time per plate appearance, which means they can step out  one time while they're up to bat.
None of this stepping out of the box after every single pitch.
You have to pick.
If a pitcher  fails to throw a pitch in time, the penalty is an automatic ball.
Oh, okay.
If the batter  isn't ready in time, it's an automatic strike.
There are clocks behind home base and out in the outfield so that the batter and the pitcher can both see how much time is left.
Pitchers may only disengage from the pitching rubber twice per plate appearance.
And those two uh approved disengagements are for a timeout  or to attempt a throw off pick to try and get an out.
Right.
Cause you can't be really still standing on the rubber and  throw to first or second or wherever.
After a pitcher has used his two disengagements, he can still attempt a pick off, but it has to be successful.
And if it is not successful, the runner gets to advance to the next base.
Oh my gosh.
I might start watching baseball These are major changes.
Yeah.
All right.
If a runner advances during a plate appearance, so if they get a hit and they get on base,  uh, the limit of disengagements for the pitcher is reset.
So, someone gets on base, you can have your two disengagements.
Okay.
Okay.
Mound visits, injury timeouts and offensive team timeouts are not considered disengagements.
Okay.
Okay.
They also introduced larger bases this year.
They are now 18 inches,  whereas they used to be 15 inches.
That was to improve safety and encourage more stolen bases.
Oh, nice.
So, that means there's less distance between bases.
Yes.
But more space on the base to actually...
Yes, tag up.
Hit it.
So, home plate is now three inches closer to first base and third base.
And the corner bases are four and a half inches closer to second base.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
So, with the implementation of the pitching clock in the 2023 season, the average time of a nine inning game  decreased from three hours, four minutes to two hours, 40 minutes.
However, toward the end of the 2023 season, everyone got used to the new rules.
So, game time started to increase again  because everyone was finding their routine and  so oh game time increased in the later part of the season by seven minutes.
Oh, that's not too bad.
It's not a lot, but no,  but because of that, because they saw that game time was starting to go up again, they're considering reducing the pitching clock time again for the 2024 season.
So, if you've got  the 20 seconds that the pitcher has if there are people on base, right? They're thinking about reducing that to 18 seconds.
Oh, you know, that's only two seconds.
It shouldn't make that big of a difference.
Well, they're counting inches from bases.
So, I'm thinking inches and seconds apparently are super important.
may, it does make a difference, but it wouldn't be like, I can't get ready between pitches.
So, I think just take two innings off, make it a seven inning game.
Yeah.
donking around with all these little second here, a second there and make the bases bigger.
Just take two innings off.
And so I asked Sean what he thought about it and he said, well, it's called America's pastime, not America's hurry the hell up.
He's got a point.
My sources were AP news,  MLB.com,  ESPN.com and Sean Burge.
Does he still watch baseball?  No.
My next search is disorder resulting in wide open crazy eyes  slash runaway bride.
I'm going to be interested to see how runaway bride ties in with this.
Okay.
It's not the movie.
Oh,  okay.
Do you remember the runaway bride story from 2005? The news story, the actual story.
I don't think so.
Okay.
I'm not going to say her name because this was 20 something years ago.
Or almost 20 years ago.
And I think she should, you know, just be allowed to get on with her life.
She was young and  did something really stupid.
But anyway, real quick, it was this pretty  young white woman who went missing on her wedding day in April  of 2005.
And she later got in touch with family claiming she'd been kidnapped and was being held against her will.
And it all turned out to be a hoax staged by her.
Goodness.
Because she had cold feet.
and just couldn't figure out how to call off her wedding.
Oh man.
I don't think I remember this.
Jeez.
oh Yeah, that just is going to make things worse.
And it just got out of control and it snowballed.
the media coverage of the story was insane.
Okay.
It was insane.
And at some point they just started running out of stuff to say.
But instead of doing what normal people would do or what they should have done, which is just move on,  they just kept  harping on it and harping on it.
And they started dissecting pictures of her  and diagnosing her with all kinds of stuff and an effort to explain her actions.
my word.
That's messed up.
It is messed up.
So, if you  remember this story, anybody out there, all the pictures of her, she had even like her mug shot, she had really wide.
Wait, wait.
Oh, she, mean her eyes were super, super wide and she looked a little bit like  there was nobody home  in the pictures.
I mean, her eyes were just like, like you could see  all the white around her irises cause their eyes were so wide open.
And Sanjay Gupta,  sorry,  love you Sanjay, but at the time he was with CNN.
I don't know if he still is or not, but  his interpretation of her behavior was ridiculous.
and he diagnosed her from a picture, just from her picture, as having Graves' which is another name for hyperthyroidism, an overactive thyroid,  based on her wide eyes  in all of her pictures.
And it's true that an overactive thyroid can cause your eyes to bulge because there's pressure, but there's no word on whether she was actually officially diagnosed ever with hyperthyroidism.
And it's none of our business.
who cares? No kidding.
But here are some of the other symptoms of Graves' disease.
If anybody is interested.
Let's hear them.
Graves' disease.
It sounds so much worse than just hyperthyroidism.
Graves' disease.
Heat intolerance.
Oh, no care.
Oh,  that's one box checked.
Tremor.
Palpitations.
Anxiety.
weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite, increased frequency of bowel movements, shortness of breath.
I don't have any of those other things.
The actual eye symptoms, thyroid eye disease, occur in about 40 % of people with Graves' disease, and it's treatable with medication and or surgery.
Okay.
Somehow this case came up in something I was looking at and I don't remember.
And I started to think about that.
And then I remembered all the  just ridiculous speculation about what would cause her to do this.
I'm like,  would cause her to do it? She just didn't want to marry this guy and she didn't,  I mean, who knows?  Right.
And, she just was an idiot.
Yeah, she just made a bad choice.
The end.
I mean, I do not remember that.
Maybe I would if I, I shouldn't say she was an idiot.
She made an idiotic choice, like you said.
And then, but whatever.
Like she went jogging one morning and never came home.
And this was about the same time as like the Lacey Peterson thing.
Oh yeah.
A bunch of other missing women who then were found.
later and had been murdered by their partners.
So,  I can see why it was  like  a news story, but it just went on forever.
My sources were Wikipedia, Ranker, UpToDate, Penn Medicine, Healthline, and the NHS.
Oh, yes.
All right.
My next search is what is Kamado? Oh, yeah.
Or Clamado.
Yes.
I was reading a book and I can't even remember what I was reading, but this came up and I was like, what is that? I I'm imagining what I think it is, but please don't let it be that.
But it is.
Yeah, it is.
I'm to go with Clamado because I think that's how I would say it.
That's how I've always said it.
So, it's a briny drink.
Oh, that's  right away.
Yeah.
made of re-con-  Re-con-stituted  tomato juice concentrate,  sugar, spices, dried clam broth, dried clam broth.
Let's- could we not even use like fresh clam broth? And MSG.
Good ol' MSG.
Oh yeah, that- that is  a  headache in a can.
So,,  let me-   This is a caveat or not a caveat, but let me put a little asterisk on this  this  is  a description  of the packaged in a bottle Clamato by Mott's.
Yes.
It's an actual brand.
It is a brand.
Yeah, but there is a uh drink that's also called the Clamato and I'm hoping that it has some better more fresh ingredients than this dried clam broth, MSG and reconstituted tomato juice concentrate.
So, gross.
Anyway, it's primarily a drink used for alcoholic beverages.
And it's most popular in Canada and Mexico, less so in the United States.
We're more of a Bloody Mary kind of group.
In Canada, the cocktail is called a Caesar.
What do they mix it with? Vodka.
Vodka.
Okay.
In Mexico, it's called, oh sorry Mexico,  I guess  it's either michelada or michelada,  M-I-C-H-E-L-A-D-A, michelada,  michelada, michelada.
They combine it with Mexican beer rather than vodka.
In 2018, The New York Times reported that one third of North America's supply of Climato is consumed by Canadians.
Listen, this is slow news day.
First of all, yes, that is such a Lebron stat as the Kelsey brothers would say.
So, useless.
There's no telling how much is consumed in 2023.
We'll just have to wait.
Okay.
Are you ready? Oh, are you going to do a pronunciation? Yeah.
Let's do it.
Yeah, Michelotta.
good.
My sources were the New York Times,  a little bit of Wikipedia and the kitchen.com.
Interesting.
That sounds like the now I have never had a Bloody Mary.
Oh my gosh.
They're so good.
I know that you like them a lot.
I just can't get past the fact that there's tomato juice in it.
I cannot stand tomato juice or V8s or  anything like that.
I love a good V8.
I love the eight.
just don't like it.
I wish I did because there'd a good source of my daily vitamins.
No, it wouldn't.
It's very salty.
I was going to say I've heard it's very salty.
There's a lot of sodium in it.
There's a lot good for you.
There's a low sodium version.
I'm sure it's super tasty.
Um, what's your next search? My last search  is  doc Martin patient names.
Yes.
Why did you search that? I've been watching a ton of Doc Marten lately.
I love that show.
I've been binging it really.
Just rewatching it.
It's not new episodes, is there? Season 10 is new to me.
Season 10? But then I went back to season eight and I'm rewatching from season eight on because I barely remember those episodes.
Wait a second.
What season did...
Oh, I don't want to...
Listen, there's no spoiling because this is probably years old.
What season do you, do you know  when  they had the baby?  was season  either seven or six.
Okay.
That's when I stopped watching because I assumed that was the last season.
was like, Oh, they've wrapped it up.
Nope.
Oh my gosh.
For those who don't know, and I pity you  and you must rectify this  immediately.
Doc Martin is a British television series starring Martin Clunes.
It's hilarious that we both.
talked about British television series today.
We love it.
But it's just, we're always on the same wavelength.
It's so silly.
Um, it stars Martin Clunes and it's about a big city surgeon  who's forced to retreat to a small town in Cornwall when he suddenly starts suffering from hemophobia and can't stand the sight of blood.
He thinks it'll be a quiet practice where he can retreat and not be found out for his problem.
But the town's people are cuckoo and hilarious.
And his superiority complex really complicates his relationship with his patients.
Vase of vagal syncope.
You remember that? That was one of my searches from a long time ago where you faint.
Oh yes.
From a trauma or maybe seeing blood.
Correct.
Vase of vagal syncope.
Syncope.
Which Sean Hayes has.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's all coming back to me now.
It's a great show.
It is.
Such a good show.
So, many awesome characters.
So, funny.
I laugh  out loud every episode.
He's such a curmudgeon.
Oh, he's such a dick.
How?  I mean, there's no way around it.
He is a dick.
They did such a good job of making such a jerk likeable.
Yes.
Because you come to understand why he is the way he is.
He just has no social skills  at all.
And he is such a dick to people.
He's so mean.
Like every time, every time he's in a consultation with a patient,  they'll start, you know, you know how you do with your doctor.
They ask you a question and you give way more information than they need.
And you just start kind of rambling and he'll say, shut up, stop talking.
While he's listening to their hardware, stop talking.
Oh,  I'm going to rewatch the show.
It's so good.
So, I was watching last night  and  he was calling his next patient, which he always does very rudely.
 We usually cutting off somebody else or telling somebody else to leave or saying I'm done with you or whatever.
And he'll just say next patient.
And he shouted out, Darrell Hannah.
And I burst out laughing.
uh And then I thought, oh my gosh, I bet they do that all the time.
I bet they sneak names like that  into every single episode.
So, I looked it up.
Okay.
And sure enough.
Here are some of the other funny patient names they've made the doctor and his receptionist say.
Oh, awesome.
I'm so excited.
Now these are usually patients that are just extras in the background.
These are not the actual characters in the episode who they're trying to diagnose or that become, you know, characters in the story.
These are just patients that get called in the waiting room.
off.
Wendy house.
Wendy house is another name for like playhouse, like a kid's playhouse  in the backyard.
Oh.
Like that kind of thing.
It's called a Wendy house.
I've never heard that in the UK and Australia.
Gotcha.
They call them Wendy houses.

It's Ron White.
Different angry dude.

Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
How's it? Yum.
Do you have any listener shout outs? You know what? I don't have any this week.
I went from a whole bunch last week to none this week.
Well, I do.
Yay! Because  I had a birthday last week and so I got a lot of messages from people.
Private messages.
Cooper Trooper was one of them.
she was laughing about us saying, my hair is wet.
No, it's not.
It's a classic.
And I told her.
oh We said it again this week.
I told her that so many of our inside jokes come from that period in our lives because we were just so silly and so irreverent and exhausted and tired  and happy.
Yeah.
Despite all of that.
Yeah.
Just ridiculous.
And we were too dumb to know better.
Um, so I told her that a lot of things that we say, are with  people like her in mind or the people from that time in our lives  because that's when we said the most ridiculous things.
Some of the most ridiculous things happened.
Yes,  for sure.
So, it was nice.
She wished me happy birthday and  we had a little conversation.
Trooper.
And I have a Peyton list.
Oh, is he listening? to the episode? I don't know if he, I think he's lost interest in listening, but he likes participating.
take long.
But Caleb still listens.
Hi Caleb.
And he actually, I have another shout out.
He texted me this week and said, you and Cara keep me laughing at work.
He listens while he works.
That's nice.
Yes.
All right.
Peyton's list this week.
Flemish language, ghost train fire,  tyranny meaning.
New Guinea, Tom Hardy butthole lips.
How dare you.
him search that?  Well I made him look that up verbatim.
we were talking about who the new James Bond is gonna be.
Yes.
And Tom Hardy was one of the names in this list that we looked up  that Jackie looked up.
It wasn't on my search history because she looked it up.
These are the conversations we have at dinner.
And when she said Tom Hardy I said, oh, butthole lips.
 And  she was like, what? And so she said, well, he doesn't have butthole lips in this picture.
I said to Peyton,  I said, hey, search Tom Hardy butthole lips.
And so he did.
And we found some pictures where he most definitely had butthole lips.
 Oh my gosh.
And then he said, man, if his lips were chapped in this picture, it definitely would look like the whole.
You guys have such weird conversations.
 Anyway.
So, weird.
I said this is gonna be great when you send me your list this week because Tom Hardy butthole lips will be on here and Cara will be mad.
Yeah, it always makes me mad.
He's my boyfriend.
What makes you happy though? A lot of things make me happy.
You know what makes me happy? When people rate and review us.
That makes me happy too.
And they tell their friends about us and they engage with us on social media.
You know what really makes me happy? when they send us emails  and their lists.
I have to tell you, getting those lists last week was so exciting to me.
You know what? I called for lists last night.
saw it.
haven't looked to see if anybody...
I commented because it was an excellent social media post.
Oh, well, thank you.
When I typed in what just to get a screenshot, I was laughing so hard  at what came up.
It was  such a good screenshot to put on social media.
was really impressed with it.
I had to comment.
I was cracking up.
was like, what is OnlyFans? It's going to follow us.
Of course, for the rest of our lives.
And you know what? I'm not ashamed  that I didn't know what that was.
I'm actually pretty proud of it.
And you know what? All you people that make fun of us for not knowing what it was, it's gross.
It's because you know what it was and shame on you.
It's nasty.
I'm internet shaming you.
Everybody contact us because it makes us happy.
It really does.
It makes us super happy.
It's just so fun to engage.

Well, you can sort things that way and they won't get lost.
Things get lost on social media.
And people are more verbose if they're emailing.
Maybe that's why they don't email us.
They're just like, I don't have time.
Yeah.
I should have time.
But you do have time.
Yes, you It doesn't have to be any more than what you would put in a social media post.
