1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Am I actually dumber than I thought I was?

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: Probably The answer is always yes.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with that. It's broken Jeffrey in the morning.

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: And over the last few years, a common theme that

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: we're finding out is basically everything that we were ever

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: told growing up is based on lies.

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, to me, a.

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: Kid at school told me that a chest of drawers

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: was named after a guy named Chester Drawers. I was

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: twenty four when I finally figured out that wasn't real.

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: That's a personal problem, jose.

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: See, I feel like that makes sense to me.

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff made sense as a kid, and

14
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: then you grow up and you find out, Oh okay,

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't true. And recently a list came

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: out of the popular miss we all heard as children

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: that we've just found out aren't actually true. I'm but

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: parents don't lie. I don't know what's happening.

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: Parents don't understand, is what you mean?

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: Oh so some of these are going to be a

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: little bit shocking. But let's go through though, all right yourself. Like,

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: maybe you've heard goldfish only have a three second memory.

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I studies have shown they actually can remember

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: things for months.

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: See, I knew it was proper to have a proper

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: funeral burial for every goldfish.

27
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: I ever owned. It's not going to remember it, No,

28
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: it will.

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 3: It was a real pet, Jose, it knew me.

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: Not only can they remember things for months, but they

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: also hold grudges.

32
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: You made that last part.

33
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if.

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: Believe you'd be careful.

35
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Another one is a penny drop from the Empire State

36
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: building could kill you if it hits that too. And

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: as a kid, I remember walking around any large building

38
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: looking up like, oh my god.

39
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: I never heard like if we were a vacuum, maybe

40
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: that would work.

41
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: Nobody gets so much strength coming down.

42
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: The scientists say it might hurt, but it's too light

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: and doesn't have enough mass to kill someone.

44
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: He started that line. What's the point.

45
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: He's the first scientist that did the research study on

46
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: that one.

47
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: There's also the myth you should pee on a jellyfish sting.

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I.

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: Totally peed on my husband's leg when we were.

50
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: In Thailand, But turns out that can actually make your

51
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: stings worse. What really Vinegar rubbing, alcohol is stuff that

52
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: might help.

53
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: Not as fun as fun.

54
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: Here's one that I've heard before. The color red sends

55
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: bulls into a rage.

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: She's just asking what a bull was?

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: Sorry, I thought you meant like an eating bullet took me?

58
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: I got it?

59
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: A bull?

60
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: A bull?

61
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: The truth is bulls can't even see the color red.

62
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: What really?

63
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: Yep? The capes that matadors use are traditionally read to

64
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: hide the blood stains.

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: I've been to a bullfight before, a lot of blood.

66
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

67
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: It takes all the childhood wonderment out of animal fighting filming.

68
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, really good.

69
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't recommend going to one of those.

70
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: We're talking about popular myths that we've heard growing up

71
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: that a lot of people still believe but actually aren't true.

72
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: And this one is one that everybody's been told as

73
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: a kid. You're gonna get cramps if you go swimming

74
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: less than thirty minutes after you eat. Oh yeah, I

75
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: thought it happened to me once. I thought I jumped

76
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: in and was swimming too hard. I was like, oh, oh,

77
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: a hammy or something.

78
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: Is it weird that all the other kids abided by

79
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 3: this and my parents are like that, you're fine, No, no, wait,

80
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: are they setting us up for something? Yeah?

81
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: They just don't care that it turns out there's no

82
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: actual science behind that, but it didn't come from nowhere.

83
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: Doctors used to think that a lot of blood had

84
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: to be diverted to your gut during digestion, and they

85
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: thought if you swam while you were digesting, you would

86
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: get tired and drowned. That makes sense. They used to

87
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: think that about space too, before they realized. They thought,

88
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: if they're there's no gravity, you couldn't swallow the food,

89
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: couldn't go down to your stuff. A lot of kids

90
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: swallowing stuff in space.

91
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: You asked me that one, But I don't know if

92
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: this one is on your list. But I was always

93
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: told blood was blue when it was inside of you,

94
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: and it didn't turn red until it was oxygenated, which

95
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: is total b.

96
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: That I'm so veins. Then that's what like my sign glass.

97
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: Tops, you like poke yourself till you found out I'm

98
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: trying to see them. Another myth that made the list

99
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: is that we only use ten percent of our brains.

100
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: We actually use less.

101
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: This show found that most people use their entire brain

102
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: over the course of one day.

103
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: Okay, that's disappointing for some people, Like that's all you got.

104
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I was hoping you had a backstore that

105
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: you hadn't logged into.

106
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: Yet, or something that's feeling like someone isn't living up

107
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: to their potential. That's a different thing, but that doesn't

108
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: mean that they're not actually using their whole brain. I

109
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: thought I'd use a whole brain and I'd be like,

110
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: have telekinesis? Ye. Stuff. This is a common misconception from childhood,

111
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: probably based on cartoons. Elephants are afraid of mice.

112
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I assume.

113
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: That that's not true.

114
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: Really.

115
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Multiple tests have shown they have no fear of.

116
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 2: The road sense.

117
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: Do you imagine trying to evac to an elephant and

118
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: be like quick, put a mouse in there, and then

119
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: just stomps on it. You're like, oh my god.

120
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: It was actually just one of the Warner brothers that

121
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: were like, do you be funny? Yeah, the same thing

122
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: was afraid of mice.

123
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: That's actually probably how.

124
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: The thing is. Elephants do have poor visions, so they

125
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: can still be startled if a small animal like a

126
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: mouse or a bird just darts past them really quick,

127
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: But they're not instinctively afraid of the mice goddess. Another

128
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: one that made this list. Fifty percent of your body

129
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: heat gets lost through your head.

130
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: I've never even heard of that.

131
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: I've heard of that. Yeah, that's why you want to

132
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: wear a hat, like before anything, you want to put

133
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: a hat on your head.

134
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: Is this why you want to wear socks to bed?

135
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

136
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: Exactly.

137
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: I heard his parents all over repeat that one. But

138
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: scientists re evaluated the claim and they found only seven

139
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: to ten percent of your body heat gets lost through

140
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: your head.

141
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: Okay, still enough to a hat.

142
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Still worth wearing one. Yea and hats, and then you

143
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: can go naked. You would be covered in.

144
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: Your math checks out.

145
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: And finally, I'm not sure if you guys heard this

146
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: one that points setias the Christmas plants are poisonous.

147
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I never heard that.

148
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, turns out wrong.

149
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: It turns out wrong.

150
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: Yep, not poisonous. The myth dates back to nineteen nineteen,

151
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: when a child's death was mistaken the attributed to the plant.

152
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that you should eat them, though, because

153
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: they say a fifty pound kid would need to eat

154
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: at least five hundred plants in order to experience any illness.

155
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: Day a forty ninth cloud. All right, mom, I'll show

156
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: you sounds like that. We have a new holiday contest

157
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: for our show This yea Plant with Brooke and Jeffrey

158
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: in the more High in Fiber. So there you go.

159
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: Probably blew some people's minds today. Let's blow more minds

160
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: with your phone tap. Coming up next
