1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to the Short Stuff. I'm Josh, and 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: there's Chuck and this is short stuff, and we're gonna 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: take a little tour, a little trip around the world 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: and do a little Washington, DC, and do a little Japan. 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: And that's mostly it. 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 2: I think everyone knows what we're talking about then, because 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 2: we're talking about cherry blossoms and the Japanese cherry tree, 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: which does not produce actual, like edible cherries that we 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: know and love. It does provide a little fruit berry 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: for animals and such, but it's not that kind of 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 2: cherry tree, So just stop asking. It's better. 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: It is better. I mean, I like my cherries for sure. 13 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: But if you've ever seen a cherry blossomed tree in 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: full bloom, is it's such a sight to behold that 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: Japan essentially created an entire cultural season around it with 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: its own emotions and songs and all sorts of stuff. 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: It is really moving. If you're American or North American, 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: or you just like traveling to the United States and 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: happen to be here in the spring and go to Washington, 20 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: d C. There's a good chance that you've seen the 21 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: cherry blossoms on the title basin blooming, and this is 22 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: about the time they're going to start. I think in 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. It's predicted the whole seasons from March 24 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: twenty it's to April twelfth. Yeah, but if you really 25 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: want to make sure that you're there for the peak, 26 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: they usually say like the last day, last couple days 27 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: maybe in March is usually when they peak. 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Brooklyn Botanical Garden, by the way, shout 29 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: out to them. I know DC gets all the press 30 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: here in the United States for cherry blossoms, but they 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: do pretty good on their own. That's where I've seen them. 32 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: But in Japan is where the real show is. They've 33 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: been cultivated there and really beloved since eighth century CE, 34 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: and they first started appearing in poetry and in books 35 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: and in pictures and things like that. They have a 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: word for the cherry blossom, which is sakura. They have 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: quite a few words for this, as it turns out, 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: because it's Japan. And then they're flower gazing when the 39 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: time rolls around where they're in bloom is called hanami, 40 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: And it's sort of a mixed bag in Japan because 41 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: it's definitely you know, spring and new beginnings, they start 42 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: the new school year, then it's the start of their 43 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: fiscal year. But it's also a little bittersweet because it 44 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: also symbolizes like the ending of things, right. 45 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, And the reason why is because cherry blossoms just 46 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: stop all of a sudden at their peak. They don't 47 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: like grow and peak and then fade. They grow and peak, 48 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: and that's that, they just fall off and die. So 49 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: there's this idea, this concept of something dying in its prime, 50 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: which is in and of itself quite bittersweet. Now they 51 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: have a word for that, this kind of nostalgic bittersweet 52 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: feeling that's kind of associated with cherry blossoms is not 53 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: which means exactly what I just said. 54 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. And I was sort of laughing on 55 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 2: the inside there because they I got this from a 56 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: lot of different sources. But this may have been someone 57 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 2: how Stuffworks interviewed. The last name is Malot, and this 58 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: guy was like, if you're watching a Japanese movie or 59 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 2: TV show and it's some like awesome young person that 60 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: is the central character, and they're walking around and you 61 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: see the cherry trees blooming like that means they're going 62 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: to die in this movie. 63 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: For sure right. That was a John Malot. He organizes 64 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: the Sakura Matsuri Japanese street festival in DC every April. 65 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the I guess, the Japanese version of 66 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: what we have in the United States, which is somebody 67 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: costs into a napkin and there's blood in it. 68 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: Oh. Yeah, that's always a bad sign, isn't it. 69 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: You're always gone. 70 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that never just becomes this thing that just happened 71 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: and the movie moves on. 72 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: That would be a fun red herring to put in 73 00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: a movie. 74 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: Though, sure, I think that would be a mcguffin. 75 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: Oh God, the emails. This is the new haiku. 76 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: Oh I forgot about haiku. I wonder somebody could write 77 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: a haiku about what a mcguffin is. 78 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: It's coming. 79 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: You asked for it, so you said that. There's other 80 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: words for cherry blossoms, and Japanese one of them is 81 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: okahka and tying into the idea of something dying young 82 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: and it's prime. That's what Japanese Kamakazi pilots were called 83 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: in World War Two Oka, and that's what they're planes. 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: They're essentially human driven missile planes were called Oka as well, 85 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: and they had like cherry blossoms painted on the side 86 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: of the plane. 87 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: That symbolism all over the place. So let's take a break. 88 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 2: We've covered some of Japan, and now we're going to 89 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: talk about DC right after this. 90 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: Josh and. 91 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: South here, all right, So we promised talk of Washington, 92 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: d C. The most famous purveyor provider rather of cherry 93 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 2: blossoms here in the United States. And it all started 94 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: on March twenty eighth, nineteen twelve, when the Washington Post 95 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: ran a little story with the headline, missus Taft plants 96 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: a tree. And that is when Helen Nellie Taft, wife 97 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: of William Howard Taft, the President, planted a couple of 98 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 2: cherry blossom trees that were gifts from Tokyo. But the 99 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: story is a little more interesting than that, right. 100 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: Well, apparently the Washington Post journalist left in the middle 101 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: of it just a plant's a treat, So it's not 102 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: even a correct ineffective headline. Yeah, but yes, that is 103 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: just the broad stroke. That's the end result of decades 104 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: of organizing and campaigning by a woman named Eliza Skidmore. 105 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: She was the first board member of Sorry, the first 106 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: woman board member of the National geographic Society. She was 107 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: very well traveled. She loved to go to Japan, and 108 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: so having traveled to Japan, she had been exposed to 109 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: the cherry blossoms and was like, these are the greatest 110 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: things ever. We should get some of these back in Washington, DC. 111 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: And I'm sure that she thought this would be no 112 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: problem whatsoever. Well, fast forward almost thirty years and she 113 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: finally gets this thing done, but it's thanks to the 114 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: intervention of two other people who just also happened to 115 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: be men. 116 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I do love this quote though. I 117 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: want to read it because it just shows how enchanted 118 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: she was Potomac Park there on the river, they were 119 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: reclaiming it at the time, and this was an eighteen 120 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: eighty five and she wrote that basically like they had 121 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: to plant something there in this space, and she said 122 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: they might as well plant the most beautiful thing in 123 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: the world, the Japanese cherry tree. Yeah, it's very sweet. 124 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: But yeah, you mentioned a couple of dudes. One guy 125 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: was named David Fairchild. And it's kind of cool when 126 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: you look back at how all these convergent things kind 127 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: of take place to make something happen. I love stories 128 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: like this, but This was a guy who was the 129 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: He worked at the USDA, which is a new thing 130 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: at the time for our Department of Agriculture. Is a 131 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: job that I want. I don't if they still have it. 132 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: But he was a plant explorer, so he would travel 133 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: all over the world looking for plants that they could 134 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: cultivate in the United States. 135 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: They do not still have that, man, I. 136 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: Can't imagine anything better. 137 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: They had it until like last year. 138 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, and I wish told me so. 139 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: David Child was like, Hey, these actually can work in Washington, 140 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: d C. I think he transplanted a few and showed 141 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: that they could live. Skidmore found out about this, and 142 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: she was like, Okay, I'm going to try one last time. 143 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 1: I'm going to get in touch with this new first lady, 144 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: Nellie Taft, and I'm going to say, please, for love God, 145 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: hear me out about these cherry trees. Everybody thinks it's 146 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: a good idea. Please, let's start planning cherry trees in DC. 147 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: She got a reply two days later after she sent 148 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: the letter, and Nellie Taff said, I have taken up 149 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: the matter, and the promised the trees, and all of 150 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: a sudden things just started looking up for Eliza Skidmore's idea. 151 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, after twenty five years, can't imagine how 152 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: she felt. She got in touch with a guy named 153 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: doctor Takamini who was a wealthy Japanese chemist, and he 154 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: had been beating the cherry tree drum for New York 155 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: City for a while and she knew this. They were 156 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: fellow enthusiasts. So she said, hey, missus taff said, like, 157 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: she's going to try to make this thing happen. He 158 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: was like, well, I'm a wealthy Japanese chemist, so I 159 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: can pull some strings. Why don't we make this like 160 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: an official, like state gift from Japan to the United States. 161 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: The great idea. So Japan said, here are two thousand 162 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: cherry blossom trees, and also here's a bunch of insects 163 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: and disease in that. 164 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 165 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: Fortunately they're lousy with Japanese beetles and god knows what 166 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: disease that cherry trees get. Yeah, so they had to 167 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: burn them. And Japan was like, did you have to 168 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: like take a photograph and send it to us of 169 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: all the cherry trees burning. Yeah, So they send them 170 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: three thousand more and those are the ones that included 171 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: the two that missus Taff planted. The next day after those, 172 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: that second shipment of three and twenty healthy trees arrived. 173 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: That's right. 174 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: I guess they hedge their bets and sent the extra 175 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: thousand plus twenty, which is kind of funny. They line 176 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: the title basin there in DC Potomac Park kind of 177 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: right there around was it the Jefferson Memorial? I think, yeah, yeah, 178 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 2: it's gorgeous. If you've ever been there, I know you 179 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: lived in DC, right, so she's probably all over that. 180 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: I bet oh, all over she would roll in them. 181 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 182 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: Park rangers would be like, please, you're not allowed to 183 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: do that again. I can't help myself. 184 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's DC. You know peak bloom you can, 185 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 2: Like Josh said earlier, you never know exactly when it's 186 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 2: going to happen. So it's kind of one of those things. 187 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: It can be heartbreaking if you, you know, have to 188 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: book your ticket ahead of time and you have no 189 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: flexibility in your schedule. There have been plenty of people 190 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: that missed the Cherry Bloom in DC when they have 191 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: gone just for that, So yeah, I know it's it's 192 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 2: super sad when that happens. So maybe don't aim. This 193 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: is my advice, maybe don't aim for peak bloom. Just 194 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: try and be there at some point during that that timeframe. 195 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: And it is something to see. You're just surrounded by 196 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: blooming cherry trees. 197 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: Gorgeous. 198 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: But you can also I mean, if you can't make 199 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: it to DC, or you made it and you miss 200 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: your mark, you can plant a cherry tree. They're really beautiful. 201 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: I would recommend the autumn analysis because they're not only 202 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: blooms in the spring. It blooms in the autumn. Two 203 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: do you have one? No, I planted plenty of them, 204 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: but I do not. We have a weeping cherry. It 205 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: only blooms once a year. Is that why it's said, Yeah, 206 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: it was like an autumn. 207 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: Oh man, I have not. Oh man, have I seen 208 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: the DC. I don't know if I've actually seen the 209 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: DC bloom. I feel like I did one time visiting 210 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 2: my sister years ago. But I also think I would 211 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: have known it because there's so many more trees than 212 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: even the ones in Brooklyn. 213 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I've not seen the DC ones unless I 214 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: just don't remember them. But we were in Japan around 215 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: this time, but a little before it was, so there 216 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: was some sporadic blooming. 217 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 218 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: But the thing I do remember is that the Starbucks 219 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: there had a sakura like coffee latte. Oh, they just 220 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: made up a taste because obviously cherry blossoms don't have 221 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: a taste. But it's one of the best tasting lattes 222 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: I've ever had, and of course it was right. 223 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: Can you recall a note an e flat wiseacre? 224 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: You got anything else? 225 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: No, Just you know, it's not just DC and Japan. 226 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: These things grow and temperate climates all over the world, 227 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: and they're certainly planted a lot for you know, tourism 228 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: and the wow factor, so you can you can see 229 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 2: them all over the place. So just if DC and 230 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: Japan are off the map for you, you can probably 231 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: find some nearby. 232 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: Sure. I think that's it for short stuff, right, Yeah, 233 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: that means we're out. 234 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: Stuff you should know is a production of iHeartRadio.
