No, That's why we came up 7 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: with short stuff, because we're like, hey, there's a lot 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: of stuff out there that just isn't quite big enough. 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: So hence short stuff, and hence our episode on the 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: chia pet. 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 2: That's right. And thank you Patty Rasmussen of HowStuffWorks dot com. 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,319 Speaker 1: Plus our friends at me too. 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: Of course, I always love the mental floss folks. The 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 2: chia pet. Everyone knows what a chia pet is, right 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: if you don't look it up, because it is an 16 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 2: adorable little planter, terra cotta planter that is shaped like 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: a little figurine like a maybe a Mister t or 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: a Homer Simpson or maybe just a dog or a 19 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: kitty cat. And if you buy this thing, and if 20 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: you and we'll talk about how to do it later, 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 2: and if you spread the spread your seed, spread your 22 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: seed on it, it will grow chia sprouts that end 23 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: up looking like hair on the thing on the figurine. 24 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: Well put, I think that's actually verbatim the description on 25 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: the box. 26 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, mister T. The mohawk would be green chia. 27 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: The cleverest one i've seen, Chuck is a zombie hand 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: like stretching out of the ground, and the chia seeds 29 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: grow around the arm like it's coming out of grass, 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: like in a cemetery. I love it. 31 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: I like the I was looking at their more recent offerings, 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: and as you will see, they have they got in 33 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: like a mentioned Homer Simpson or mister T. They got 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: into licensing. And we'll tell that story here in a second. 35 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: But I like the Grogo Star Wars chia pet. It's 36 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: really really cute, like all things grow gou is. 37 00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: That baby Yoda? 38 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: Uh huh? 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: Okay, did not know that was the name of that thing. 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, the name came later. We found out the name later. 41 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: I saw Guardians of the Galaxy three in the theater yesterday. 42 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: That is really good. 43 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: I loved that movie. I loved the three. It's my 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: favorite of the Marble stuff. But that movie was so 45 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: upsetting for the animal stuff. Yes, almost tough to sit through. 46 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: Oh, it was super tough to sit through. But but 47 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: there's a whole generation of PG thirteen going moviegoers that 48 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: are like that age that now have a really bad 49 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: view of animal testing and animal experimentation, and true think 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: it could be worth it because it was really tough. 51 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: But that was a huge message in that movie, like 52 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: that's not good stuff. 53 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed, Yeah, very hard though. I told Emily is 54 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: like just and she loves Guardians. I was like, you're 55 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: not gonna want to. 56 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: See the third No, definitely not. 57 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: Don't even bother. All right, Well back to the That 58 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: Was movie with Josh Clark. The chia planters are terra cotta. 59 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: Like I said, they used to make them in Wojaca, Mexico. Yeah, 60 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 2: who knew, Well, Joe Pettot did, because Joe in the 61 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: nineteen seventies was the founder of Joseph Enterprises. He went 62 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: to a trade show in Chicago. These little chia pets, 63 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: I don't know what they were called at the time, 64 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: were selling like hotcakes, and he said, I want to 65 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: buy a bunch of those and brand them and sell 66 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: them as chia pets. Yeah. 67 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: Apparently he went to department stores and drug stores at 68 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: that trade show and said, hey, you got anything that 69 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: sells out reliably every year, and a couple of them 70 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: pointed to those. Yeah, I don't know what they were 71 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: called before either, but what would come to be known 72 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: as chia pets. And they figured out that these things 73 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: sell themselves with very little advertising. And if you stop, 74 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: I did not realize this. I thought I saw them 75 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: throughout the year, But if you stop and think about 76 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: when you see chia pet ads, it's almost strictly around 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: the holidays. And that's for a reason. They sell over 78 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: of their inventory that they sell every year around the holidays. 79 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: And they figured out that they just need to advertise 80 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: a little bit around Christmas and Hanukkah and Kwanza and 81 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: tet and there you go. That's all. That's all they 82 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: need to do. 83 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: That's all they need to do. So the first of 84 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: these chia pets were the first actual animals, were the 85 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: chia bull and the chia ram. But the very first one, 86 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: period I think, was a dude, right, like a chia guy. 87 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: Yeah. Our friends at Mental Floss kind of nailed it. 88 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: They said, he looks like a cross between Homer Simpson 89 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: and Woody from Toy Story, And he looks exactly like that. Yeah, 90 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: it's like a goofy looking guy with a big nose. 91 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: But apparently that was the first chia pet. 92 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: Yeah at chia dude. They got into licensing in the 93 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: early eighties with Looney Tunes characters Taz, Elmer Fudd and Tweety. 94 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: Oh wait, Chuck before we move on, I love this 95 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: house stuff works article put in parentheses, Taz parentheses, Tasmanian Devil. 96 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: I thought that was adorable. 97 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 2: That was pretty funny, and then you know, licensing became 98 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: a big deal. They I think they license like three 99 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: or four things a year generally, and then they always 100 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 2: have their stable of little animals. 101 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. They also are known for predicting presidential elections. Actually, 102 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: like they'll release the like chia versions of the presidential 103 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: candidates each year, and usually the one that sells the 104 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: most is the candidate that goes on to win the presidency. 105 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah. I think there's a few little 106 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 2: weird cultural predictors like that. 107 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, and they're an octopus that can predict the 108 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: World Cup. 109 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I feel like there was something else for 110 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. 111 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: There's a hedgehog that can produce some predictable where they 112 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: can predict the weather. Yeah, whether it's going to turn 113 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: to spring or not. I heard about him. 114 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: The other thing they do to make money, the chia folks, 115 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: is they will license it out. They'll like partner up 116 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: with pro sports teams, like you might get a chia 117 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: La Dodger or something like that. And then I didn't 118 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: know this. You could if you were a company. You 119 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 2: can imagine. It's not cheap, but you can get a 120 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 2: chia pet logo of your company made. 121 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: Yes, isn't that neat? I did not realize that. Yeah. 122 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: I ran across instructions for growing chia on your Chiahad 123 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper. It was like, all right, this works. It 124 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: probably applies to all of them, as we'll see. 125 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: All right, shall we take a break. 126 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: Let's take a break. 127 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: All right, we'll come right back. Talk a little bit 128 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: more about these little pets right after this. 129 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: Okay, Chuck. So we're talking about chia pets. It turns out, 130 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: and I think we should talk about how you grow them. 131 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: I've never had a chiapet of you. Nope, we should 132 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: exchange cheapets. 133 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: When you're my friend, you have one on your on 134 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: its way. The delivery window begins in ten minutes. 135 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: Are you serious? 136 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: It's a chia Richard Simmons, he has like a chest head. 137 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: I saw it and I was like, Chuck's getting this. 138 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: Oh so the exchange is half done. 139 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: All right, Well I got to step up. Richard Simmons 140 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: tying in episodes, I love it. Gonna be tough, all right, 141 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: I'm gonna hey, man, got me, Okay, your time? Uh 142 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: if you grow one of these, and I guess I 143 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: could wait either ten minutes or several hours and read 144 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: it off the box. But I think what you want 145 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: to do is you want to completely soak that planner 146 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 2: for a few hours, right, yes. 147 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: And the reason why you want to do this with 148 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: any terra cotta pot that you're growing stuff in is 149 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: terra cotta, we'll suck water right out of the dirt 150 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: in this case, right out of the water holding cavity 151 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: for itself, and it pulls it away from the plants 152 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: that need it. Whereas if you soak it, it's like, Okay, 153 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm satiated, literally stuffed with water. I don't need any more. 154 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: And so any water you put into it is going 155 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: to not get sucked into the terra cotta. So this 156 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: is an essential step for chia pets in particular. 157 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: That's right. You also want to soak the seeds. It 158 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: is chia. Gia is a kind of sage, and I 159 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: think you eventually make like a sort of like a 160 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: paste and you spread that paste on there. I've seen 161 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: them talk about like rubber spatuls and things like that, 162 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: But I would just use my fingies if I was 163 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: doing and when I do my Richard Simmons, I'm gonna 164 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: do my fingies. 165 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: Use my fingers, okay, good, good butt chuck, Do not 166 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: lick your fingers afterwards. These are chia seeds, and people 167 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: eat cheeseeds. I put gia seeds in my smoothies because 168 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: they're full omega three, although I was disappointed to find 169 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of studies that show conclusively that 170 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: we get that omega three from the seeds. But anyway, 171 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: these particular chia seeds are not grown for human consumption. 172 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: They're grown to grow on your chia pet. 173 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: That's right, So use whatever spretterer you want if you 174 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: don't feel comfortable using your digits. And once that thing 175 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: is covered up to your likeness, you want to put 176 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 2: that chia pet in the sun, and you want to 177 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: water it and then just sit back and let the 178 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 2: fun begin. 179 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I was like, Okay, so if this is 180 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: these chia plants grow to be like six feet tall 181 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: and flour and everything. Yeah, and I wanted to see, like, 182 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: if you just keep your chia going, like, we'll it 183 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: get to that point. I saw one site reference that 184 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: your chia pet would crumble like eventually. It's like under 185 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: the weight of the plant. I think the bigger thing 186 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: is the sprouts that grow just aren't viable to grow 187 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: into actual plants. So apparently after about six weeks, maybe 188 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: four weeks, they all turn brown. You pull off the 189 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: old growth, dump out the water, and start over again. 190 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: Oh, you can do they you can reuse the same. 191 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: I saw on their site that you can reuse them indefinitely. 192 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: You just need chia. 193 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 2: Seeds, Okay. And I guess it makes sense that they 194 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 2: won't just eventually you won't have like a chia pet 195 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: that looks like like Richard Simmons, won't end up looking 196 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: like Greg Almon. 197 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: That'd be pretty cool though. It's a great crossover. 198 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 2: It's a good crossover because you would you would need 199 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: like soil to keep everything stable. 200 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. I think they just don't have 201 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: the nutrients to grow beyond the sprout stage. 202 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gotta be it. 203 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: So who knows, Maybe you could add nutrients and grow 204 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: them like hydroponically and see what happens. All right, That's 205 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: one of the nerdiest things I said this month. 206 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 2: Regardless, gias have become very very popular over the years 207 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: that they are, like I said, sort of an iconic 208 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 2: fun gift that you can get someone, So much so 209 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: that the Smithsonian National Museum of American History requested and 210 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: I assume received some of this stuff from the Joseph Company. 211 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, in particular the advertising tapes, because that's one of 212 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: the reasons Chia Pets were so huge. Somebody either at 213 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: an advertising meeting or at a bar one night said 214 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: chu Chi Chi Chia, and apparently Joe Purdat said that's perfect. 215 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to turn that into the jingle, and that 216 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: was I mean, I would attribute most of the Chia 217 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: pets success to that jingle. It was so catchy that 218 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: people were just walking around going ch ch Chichiya were 219 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: they really? All of my friends were up in Ohio. 220 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: I guess that's Sohio though. 221 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: That is Ohio, uh, And that's kind of it. I 222 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: mean they're in the like I said, the Smithsonian, and 223 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: I think they're in a time capsule in New York 224 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: City that's going to be unearthed in three thousand, the 225 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 2: year three thousand. 226 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: In the year three thousand. 227 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: Very nice. What a great bit that was. So you know, 228 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: it's it's one of those things. If you're going to 229 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: include it in the Smithsonian and of time capsule, then 230 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: it has done its job as far as a cultural staple. 231 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely, so hats off to you, Chia Pets, we love you. 232 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: That's right, and I will, I promise, I will, I 233 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: will do an Instagram series following the growth of my 234 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 2: Richard Simmons. 235 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: Oh, great idea, fantastic at what Chuck the podcaster, Chuck 236 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: the podcaster, great handle.
