1
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: So much. Okay, we got layers of facts here. Okay,

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: there's a few things, and I I don't think I

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: knew some of this. But you may have heard that

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: the Teddy bear was named for Teddy Roosevelt, who is

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth President of the US.

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: Do you know why I didn't know this part?

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: He refused to shoot a wounded bear, so they which

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like that or not. I'm

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: not sure because if it was wounded, and if it

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: wasn't anyway.

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. But that's why it's

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: called teddy bear.

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: So the invention of the teddy bear coencide it perfectly

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: with the rise of mass manufacturing in the toy industry,

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: and the bear's creators made off like bandits. When the

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: twenty seventh President, William Howard Taft began his term, toy

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: makers wanted to do the same thing and make something

18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: they could sell and make a lot of money. So

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: they wanted to make a similarly popular plushy out of

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: a meal that he used to eat, possum and taters.

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: Possum and taters that this dude used to the President

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: used to eat. If so Billy possum didn't. It wasn't

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: as big of a hit as Teddy Bear was, But
