WEBVTT - 9 Ridiculous Things about "The 12 Days of Christmas"

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to part Time Genius, the production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I Guess what will What's that man? Go? So you

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>know how in the twelve Days of Christmas, like half

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>of the gifts are just a bunch of random birds.

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of crazy. Actually, You've got swan, you got geese,

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>you've got turtle, doves, the partridge. The whole song is

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>like lousy with birds, yeah, or foul with foul if

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you want to go a full dad joke. But uh,

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it makes you wonder what the true love and this

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>song is thinking right, like like what are you supposed

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>to do with all this menagerie of birds? So we

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>did some digging this week and it turns out the

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>answer is you eat them, or at least that's the

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>prevailing theory, because most of the birds of the song

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.639
<v Speaker 1>were served at holiday feasts in sixteenth century Europe. I've

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>actually not thought about that. So so this means the

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 1>song is basically just a menu, right pretty much. And

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>if you're the kind of person who's listening to this

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and your mouth is watering and you're wishing you could

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>recreate this bird centric feast in your own home, well

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you are in luck because there's a company in England

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>named Hell Farm and it offers something called the twelve

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 1>bird True Love Roast. I've actually got the order page

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>pulled up here and I want you to see this. Well, uh,

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>that is something else. I mean, it's kind of like

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the Urn Ducan on steroids, is the only way I

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>could describe it. Yeah. The company calls it a twelve

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.839
<v Speaker 1>bird roast because it's made with twelve different kinds of birds,

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>one for each day of Christmas. But they didn't stop

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>at just one of each kind because they're actually forty

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 1>eight birds crammed into this thing. Eight different types of

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>stuffing as well, but forty eight birds, Lord, this thing

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>must be enormous. Yeah. And according to the website, the

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>True Love Roast weighs about fifty five pounds and will

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>feed about a hundred and twenty five but it will

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>cost you. It's with a dish, so pretty steep. But

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>on the bright side, delivery is free and each roast

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>comes in its own large wicker hamper, fully prepared and

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>ready to cook. I like the they throw in the

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>hamper to really seal the deal, you know, in case

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you were on the fence about spending a thousand dollars

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>on a ton of bird meat. Now you know it's

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>it's worth it. Well. I I like the fact because

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it's such a clear example of just how bizarre the

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>song really is. I mean, I've probably heard it like

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>a hundred times or more in my life, right, but

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>it never gets any less strange. And I still don't

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>really know anything about this song. And after asking around

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 1>this week, I realized I'm not the only one who

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>feels this way. So with the holidays upon us, I

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>thought we could do our part by taking a closer

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>look and then sharing what we consider to be the

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>nine weirdest facts about the twelve Days of Christmas. In

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>fact one is that the song is actually a giant menu,

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>which means we've got eight more to go. Let's dive in.

0:02:52.600 --> 0:03:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Y Hey, their podcast listeners, Welcome to Part Time Genius.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm Will Pearson, and as always I'm joined by my

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>good friend Manes Ticketer and on the other side of

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the soundproof glass chowing down on what he claims are

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>three French hens. I really can't fact check this one,

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that easily. That's our friend and producer Lull. He does

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>look like he's really enjoying it. He is kind of

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>giving the game away by drinking out of that Popeye's cup.

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>But also joining us today is our researcher pal, Gabe Bluesier.

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>It's been a little while, Gabe. Thanks for coming on. Yeah,

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.399
<v Speaker 1>of course, thanks for having me. It's nice to be back. Yeah,

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>we brought Gabe out of exile, but he's actually the

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>one who suggested we zero in on this twelve Days

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>of Christmas theme for today's show. Gave what was your

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>favorite one as a kid? Actually it was this one,

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>like my family to this thing where we would sing

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the gifts like one day at a time, So we'd

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>start on December fourteen, singing just the first line the

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>partridge part uh, and then we just keep on one

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>day at a time until Christmas, when we would finally

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>try to get through the whole thing. And I mean

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>emphasis on the try part, like we didn't always make it.

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>But that is an amazing family tradition. I love that

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.839
<v Speaker 1>practicing the song and pieces does seem like a good

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>way to actually remember that song. But I think he

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.359
<v Speaker 1>might be doing it slightly wrong game, to be honest

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 1>with you, I like that you just heard about my

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>family tradition and already you have improvements for it. That's

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.039
<v Speaker 1>something I'm here to help, and it it did line

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>up with the fact that I already had on deck,

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>because one thing I always wondered is when exactly are

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>the twelve Days of Christmas? Like, is that even a

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>real thing? And it turns out it is a real thing.

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>But counterintuitively, the twelve days don't end on Christmas Day.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>They actually begin on Christmas Day, or at least that's

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>how it works in some forms of Western Christianity, including Catholicism.

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>So according to tradition, the twelve day span is meant

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to represent the period of time between the birth of

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Christ and the day that the Three Wise Men brought

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>him gifts. So if anybody out there really wants to

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>recreate the song or seeing it on the appropriate nights,

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>you would start on December and you would end on

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>January five, or sometimes known as the Twelfth Night. Oh wow,

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>So thirty years of family tradition straight down the drain.

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>But I'm actually glad we're getting into some of the

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>history of this song that that sets things up nicely

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>from my first fact, which is that the origin of

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the song itself is still a big mystery, Like The

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>earliest written version was a poem in a book of

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.919
<v Speaker 1>nursery rhymes called Mirth Without Mischief, and the book was

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 1>published in England in seventeen eighty. But historians believe the

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Twelve Days poem is a lot older than that, and

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>it may have originally come from France. But even though

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>we don't know the exact origin of the song, there

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>are a few theories. The best one is that it

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>started as a memory game that kids would play during

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.799
<v Speaker 1>those twelve night celebrations you mentioned, And basically kids would

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>get they're in a circle, and they'd go around reciting

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the poem one verse at a time, much like my

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>family did, until someone made a mistake and the player

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.280
<v Speaker 1>who messed up would be out of the game, and

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the last one standing was the winner. So I I

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>did notice that you called it a poem just now,

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 1>and you said kids would recite it, not sing it.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>So was the Twelve Days of Christmas actually written um?

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Not as a song originally? Yeah, that's right. It actually

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>wasn't set to music until the early twentieth century, so

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.359
<v Speaker 1>quite a while. And until then it was just a

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of poem called a cumulative verse. So another example

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>would be that nursery rhyme there was an old lady

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>who swallowed a fly. You know, she keeps swallowing one

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>thing to swallow the other. And pretty much any poem

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>or chant where you use pattern verses like that to

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>sort of build out a narrative that's a cumulative verse.

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Well you know, you know. My first fact was meant

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>to do some myth busting. So one thing I've always heard,

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>especially online, is that the twelve Days of Christmas is

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>actually this coded guide to the Catholic faith. So the

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>two turtle drives are are really the Old and New Testaments,

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the six Gees of Laying or the six Days of

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Creation and so on. The idea of this kind of

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>stems from the fact that from the sixteenth to nineteenth century,

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>being a Catholic was a crime in Protestant England. So

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>according to legend, Catholic kids would sing the song as

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a way to learn about and profess their forbidden faith

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>while still kind of keeping it a secret from authorities.

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>As alluded to earlier, none of this is true that

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>there are actually a couple key points that poke holes

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>in this theory. For starters, there's no reference to the

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>secret history prior to the early ninety nineties, which suggests

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that the whole thing is just an Internet rumor that

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that got out of hand. But what's more damning is

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 1>that none of the alleged hidden meanings make that much sense. Like,

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Protestants believe in all the same concepts that the gifts

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>are supposed to represent, So the idea of Catholics having

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to kind of like hide this or disguise these concepts

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really hold that much water. Yeah, that's interesting, all right, Well,

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>here's a quick one. So we've already discussed how this

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>song reads like a very bird heavy menu, but there's

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>at least one item miss sing from the song that

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>definitely would have been on the table in medieval Europe,

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and that is mince pie, made from a hearty mix

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>of finely chopped beef, dried fruit, nuts, and spices. These

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>mince pies, or mince meat pies, they became a Christmas

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>staple in Europe. The pies were traditionally baked in the

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>shape of Jesus's manger, which I'd actually never heard until

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I was looking into this this week, and a little

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>figure of the baby Jesus would be placed on top

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>of each one, and they must have made a ton

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of these two because mince pies were actually eaten on

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 1>each of the twelve days of Christmas. I can't say

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>why the popular pies didn't make it into the song,

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>but it's probably because a mince pie in a pear

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>tree just doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you guys feel. Yeah, that's somehow

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 1>even less romantic than what we got, Like that is

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of mince pie. But speaking of which, you

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>know those five golden rings, like, of course one of

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the few, it's one of the few gifts in the

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>song that isn't a bird, right, Well, surprise, the rings

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>are in fact also birds. According to bird expert Mike Bergen,

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the lyric is not a reference to jewelry, but to

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>ring necked pheasants. So as the name implies those birds,

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>they have bands of yellowish feathers that kind of wrap

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>around their necks. Hence the golden rings, which means that

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.079
<v Speaker 1>the fifth day of Christmas doesn't actually bring this grand

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>romantic gift so much as it does more birds to eat.

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>It's so much less romantic. The five golden rings line

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>always reminds me of that Eddie Izard like part in

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>his comedy routine where he points out how people just

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>go crazy for that one that but and then they

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>go back to forgetting how the rest of the song goes.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we've got three facts left to go.

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a quick break and then we'll get back

0:09:48.160 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to it. Welcome back to part time Genius. We're talking

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.479
<v Speaker 1>about the alarming implications of the twelve Days of Christmas.

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, Mago, it was your turn when we left off,

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>So what do you got for us next? So I've

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 1>got another lyrical misnomer that everyone seems to fall for. First,

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to acknowledge that there are lots of different

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.559
<v Speaker 1>versions of this song, and that's before you even get

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to the parody version. So in terms of different takes,

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>like some variants include eleven ships of sailing instead of

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>eleven pipers piping, or nine bulls of roaring instead of

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>nine ladies dancing. But one gift that's present in nearly

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>every version of the song is the one for the

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>fourth day for calling birds, And that seems like a

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of a sad one once you realize that the

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>birds aren't intended as decorations or pets. But as dinner,

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>as we've mentioned before, and it's odd because you normally

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't eat a songbird, right, But the original line apparently

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>wasn't for calling birds. It was four collie birds CEO

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 1>L l i E. It's an archaic word meaning grimy

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>or or black as suit. And in reality the gift

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>isn't for beautiful songbirds, but it's for blackbirds right to

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>be baked into a pie. That is a pretty different

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I think, A Well, there's been a lot of talk

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>about bird eating today, and so it falls on me

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 1>to to put all of that binging in perspective. I think. So,

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 1>say you want to embark on your own twelve Days

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of Christmas feast, but you don't have a thousand bucks

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>lying around for a true love roast. It will be

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot more work and some weird looks from your butcher,

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 1>but you could definitely put together a similar spread for

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot less money. And the amazing part is

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.599
<v Speaker 1>if you stick to a single serving of each dish

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and you keep the recipe simple, you actually wouldn't come

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>out too bad nutritionally speaking. So take the first day,

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>for example, a serving of roasted partridge has only about

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>two d or so calories a pair is a mere

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>nineties six calories. In fact, if you added up modern

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.439
<v Speaker 1>equivalents for each of the first seven days of the song,

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>including pheasant for the fifth day, you only have a

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>about twenty hundred calories. So you could even eat all

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>twelve dishes in the same day if you want to.

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>And so when you factor in all the activities mentioned

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>for the last five days of the song, you can

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.679
<v Speaker 1>actually get that count down even lower. So is that

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 1>what the song is supposed to be? Like? It's seven

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>days of stuffing your face and then five days of

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 1>desperately trying to work the way on. I mean, that's

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of what happens in real life, but that that's

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 1>one popular interpretation that the whole thing is about one

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>big long feast and all the activities going on during it.

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 1>In fact, there's an article in The Atlantic that really

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.679
<v Speaker 1>leans into this theory. So the author actually breaks down

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the average number of calories you'd burn during thirty minutes

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>of each activity. So, for instance, milking a cow for

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>half an hour would burn about a hundred calories, dancing

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>would shave off closer to two hundred than on the

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>other end of the spectrum, you've got the flute playing,

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>which I don't know, this may surprise you, that would

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>actually only burn a paltry six eight calories. It seems

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>like doing it very Yeah, it feels like this very

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>intense activity. But you know, if you subtract all those

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 1>energy expenditures from the twelve course total that we were

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.199
<v Speaker 1>talking about, you'd wind up with a little over two

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand calories. And while that's still a lot for one meal,

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>it's way better than the forty calories that would make

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 1>up the average Thanksgiving dinner. Yeah, that's that's probably closer

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 1>to what you're looking at for a serving of that

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 1>twelve bird roast you guys were talking about. It's off

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>forty April, I think, excuse me. And actually that fits

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>in pretty well with my last fact, which is about

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the ridiculous scale of gift giving that goes on in

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 1>this song. I mean, because at first you think, okay,

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>twelve days, twelve gifts. That's you know, that's a lavish

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>number of presents. But it's not unheard of, right, It's

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not worrisome yet. It could this could still be,

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, a semi normal situation. But then you remember

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the amount increases with the gifts, right, two turtle doves,

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>three french head, all the way up to twelve. So

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 1>now you're at seventy eight gifts, which is too many.

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>It is just way and then it hits you, right,

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>this is a cumulative song, like I was saying, So

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't just get the new gift of the day,

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you also get all the gifts from all the previous

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>days all over, which means that the total number of

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>gifts in the twelve days of Christmas is a whopping

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and sixty four. And and I have to add,

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 1>if you consider the pear trees as separate gifts from

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the partridges, which really you should, you add another twelve

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:39.240
<v Speaker 1>onto that, so it's really three seventy six. That is insane,

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 1>especially when you remember that a large portion of those

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 1>gifts they're live birds exactly. And the most troubling part

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>is that somebody spent a ton of money on those

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 1>gifts on those birds, like all those live performers. They

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>were booked from multiple full days. That can't be cheap.

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 1>And this is kind of a bonus fact, I admit,

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>but there's actually a group of economists who crunched the

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>numbers every year to find out just how much this

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.479
<v Speaker 1>full suite of gifts would cost. It's called the Christmas

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Price Index, and it's released by P and C Wealth Management.

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>For it says, these three hundred plus gifts, it would

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>set you back a hundred and fourteen thousand, six hundred

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>fifty one dollars and eighteen cents. And because I know

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you're wondering the most expensive item on that list, it's

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 1>surprisingly the seven swansa swimming Apparently swans go for a

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>little over a thousand bucks apiece. Wow. And and that's

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>even before you have to like find a lake for them.

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I was actually going to say, like the landscaping fees

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 1>for this orchard of pear trees that you suddenly own it,

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty expensive. Yeah, for as long as the song

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>as it is, like, there's a lot that goes unsaid. Yeah,

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's true, but it's also kind of what

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I like about it. I mean, the lyrics are so specific,

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and the more time goes by, the weirder and more

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>out of place they seem to us, and yet we

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>keep right on singing them anyways. It is endearing. But

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 1>because of that wealth index fact and because this episode

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 1>was your idea. I really think you deserve the trophy

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.160
