Speaker 1: And thank you to Eric, our musician, for all the
Speaker 1: music you'll be hearing in this episode today. So that's
Speaker 1: who is Balthazari Mira. Now let's find out who was
Speaker 1: Theodore Roosevelt with four fast facts. Theodore Roosevelt was born
Speaker 1: in eighteen fifty eight and died in nineteen nineteen. As
Speaker 1: President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt champions fairness for
Speaker 1: citizens and fought to break up big railroad monopolies. Theodore
Speaker 1: Roosevelt wrote over thirty five books, was a champion boxer, expert, taxidermist,
Speaker 1: a hunter, a naval officer, and a family man. We
Speaker 1: call him a renaissance man because he's good at a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff, and the Teddy Bear was named after him.
Speaker 1: You know, if I were to have a stuffed animal
Speaker 1: named after me, I'd wanted to be the Mighty t Rex,
Speaker 1: so people would call it the b Rex. That and
Speaker 1: I have very short arms, like disturbingly short parts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've always thought you were kind of like a t
Speaker 1: rex that way. It's really cool. If I were to
Speaker 1: have a stuffed animal named after me, I'd wanted to
Speaker 1: be a wolf, and then you could call it Elliott Wolf.
Speaker 1: Sounds pretty cool, right, well, I don't know. It kind
Speaker 1: of sounds like someone who does your taxes, like a
Speaker 1: but like a cool guy who does your taxes, right cool? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like a cool accountant account cool. How about you, Mirra,
Speaker 1: what kind of stuffed animal would you want named after you?
Speaker 1: Maybe I would want like a panda or something. Okay,
Speaker 1: the mirror Panda. I like it because it kind of
Speaker 1: rhymes a little bit, and that'll start. What about you?
Speaker 1: What kind of animal would you want named after you?
Speaker 1: I want a fly? Ohkay? Interesting? Why a fly? That's
Speaker 1: an interesting choice. Panda's they're cute. Well that we all understand,
Speaker 1: they're cute. Everybody loves bamboo. Yeah, and yeah, because bamboo
Speaker 1: is delicious, delicious. Why a fly? That's an interesting choice
Speaker 1: because I can kill them. Mhmm, interesting. Interesting. There's a
Speaker 1: lot going on there psychologically about the sorrow. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you have the time to dig into it
Speaker 1: all the way. But those those stuffed animals are great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are great choices, and I think in the stores
Speaker 1: soon we're going to see them, the mirror panda and
Speaker 1: the bolts our fly. But now let's get to our
Speaker 1: first game. True or false? Truer? False? Is a fuse?
Speaker 1: Is a false? Or is a true? Is a truth
Speaker 1: that it is false? That it was true? Or true? True?
Speaker 1: Poor fault. In this game, be will read a statement
Speaker 1: about Theodore Roosevelt and you'll tell us if it's true
Speaker 1: or false. You guessed it, And since it's our first game,
Speaker 1: each question is worth one point, Balthazar, your first poter
Speaker 1: Roosevelt was the first American to win the Nobel Peace Prize. True,
Speaker 1: that's right, it's true. The Nobel Peace Prize and honors
Speaker 1: individuals or groups that work hard to promote peace in
Speaker 1: the world, and in nineteen o six, Roosevelt won the
Speaker 1: award for helping end the Russo Japanese War, a big
Speaker 1: war between Russia and Japan. Other US presidents have also
Speaker 1: won the Nobel Prize, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter, and Barack Obama. Okay, Mira,
Speaker 1: the next question is for you, Mira. True or false.
Speaker 1: One of Theodore's well known features were his very small teeth. False.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's false. He actually had huge teeth. He
Speaker 1: was known for having enormous elephantine and teeth. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's something that cartoonists latched onto. They draw his teeth
Speaker 1: even bigger than they were in real life, and in
Speaker 1: real life they were already very big. A newspaper once
Speaker 1: called him teeth a door which doesn't really roll off
Speaker 1: the tongue. But maybe it's funny in print if you
Speaker 1: look at it, maybe it's a funny name. Okay, Balthasar,
Speaker 1: back to you. True or false. As a politician, Theodore
Speaker 1: believed that he had to fight crookedness, whether it was
Speaker 1: great or small. False. I'm sorry, that's true. Theodore was
Speaker 1: known as a reform someone who wants to change government
Speaker 1: and society to help as many people as possible and
Speaker 1: to keep it honest so it's not crooked. One thing
Speaker 1: he supported was better working conditions. He believed people should
Speaker 1: be safe at their jobs, which sounds like a good idea.
Speaker 1: Maybe unless your job is like shark feeder. There's a
Speaker 1: little bit of danger that goes into that. It's gonna
Speaker 1: only be so safe, Nera, you get the last question
Speaker 1: of the round. Because Theodore was a city kid growing up,
Speaker 1: he signed orders and legislation to make the rest of
Speaker 1: the US look like his hometown, Manhattan. He poured concrete
Speaker 1: and erected skyscrapers all across the US. That's false, you're right,
Speaker 1: that's false. From his youth, Theodore loved the outdoors. Even
Speaker 1: though he was a city kid, he often traveled to
Speaker 1: the vast open spaces of the West. Theodore Roosevelt believed
Speaker 1: in conservation. That's preserving the country's natural resources. And as president,
Speaker 1: he will preserve a hundred and fifty national forests. And
Speaker 1: that's the end of true or false? True, true, true,
Speaker 1: true orful. What a great first round, everybody. Now, before
Speaker 1: we go to a break, we're going to go to
Speaker 1: producer Jane with our first round scores. Hey, Elliot and Beer,
Speaker 1: don't mind telling you the Panda has out done the
Speaker 1: fly this time. Mirror has two points about Bazzar one point.
Speaker 1: It's very close. It's still anybody's game, Panda or Fly.
Speaker 1: And we'll be back with our next game after this
Speaker 1: short break. Eric, please play us some big Teeth music.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of wisdom. Welcome back to the Who
Speaker 1: Was Podcast. Today we're learning who was Leonardo da Vinci
Speaker 1: and who was D. R. Roosevelt. Now back to your host,
Speaker 1: Elliot Klin. Thanks be. Before we get to the next game,
Speaker 1: let's find out a little bit about who this next
Speaker 1: game is about Leonardo da Vinci with four fast facts prospects.
Speaker 1: Leonardo da Vinci was born in fourteen fifty two and
Speaker 1: died in fifteen nineteen at twelve years old. Da Vinci
Speaker 1: was apprenticed to a famous Italian artist, Andrea del Varoccio.
Speaker 1: Experts are certain of only thirteen paintings that Da Vinci painted,
Speaker 1: and three of them are unfinished. In addition to painting,
Speaker 1: da Vinci was also an engineer and inventor, an athlete,
Speaker 1: and a musician. Talk about a Renaissance man only in
Speaker 1: this case instead of theoter Roosevelt. It was actually during
Speaker 1: the Renaissance. Alright, Mira and Valsazar. I'm wondering. Da Vinci
Speaker 1: was such an amazing artist. Do you have any artists
Speaker 1: that you really love? My friend Aria draws really well,
Speaker 1: that's really cool. You know what kind of stuff did
Speaker 1: she draw? She draws like mythical cats. Oh, mythical cats.
Speaker 1: I love. What makes them mythical? Because regular cats are
Speaker 1: already a little magical. What makes these ones? They have
Speaker 1: like wings and like chomp tails. They have like corns
Speaker 1: and things, wait, chomp tails, so they have uh, like
Speaker 1: a chomp like a venus fly trap mouth on their
Speaker 1: tail kind of. She would drawn like pictures like us
Speaker 1: one of them. I would have like the bigger one,
Speaker 1: and she would have the smaller one. But it's sharper.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, that's it's like it. Do you want
Speaker 1: it to be big or is it small and sharp?
Speaker 1: You know? It's like these available online? She does? She
Speaker 1: even Etsy? Does she even Etsy shop? Yeah? Where do
Speaker 1: I buy a T shirt with a with a with
Speaker 1: a math mythical cat with WANs and a chop tail
Speaker 1: on it? That'd be an amazing shirt. Yeah, belts are.
Speaker 1: What about you? My friend Jake makes messy pictures. Messy pictures.
Speaker 1: What makes them so messy? He just screwt w zone,
Speaker 1: stabs his pencil into the paper and then just like
Speaker 1: he draws a picture. Sounds like an impressionist or an expressionist,
Speaker 1: some kind of oppressionist. This is something impressionist start very impressing.
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you both so much for sharing
Speaker 1: about your friends who are artists. That's so cool. And
Speaker 1: you know, Elliott Leonardo da Vinci was really so well rounded,
Speaker 1: yet most people probably only know him as a painter.
Speaker 1: That's true, being I figure it's because he painted the
Speaker 1: Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world. You
Speaker 1: ever wonder what it was like when he was painting her,
Speaker 1: because here's how I think it probably went. Coming. Hello,
Speaker 1: can I help you? Hi? Yeah, I'm looking for someone
Speaker 1: named Leonardo da Vinci, Davin, that's me. You must have
Speaker 1: been Elsa Giordini. But call me Mona Lisa. It's a nickname.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it's going to catch on. Trust me. After
Speaker 1: I paint your portrait, everyone will know the name Mona Lisa.
Speaker 1: Whoa WHOA? Slow down here? Who do you think you
Speaker 1: are Michael Angelo. Everybody always brings that guy. Okayna, come
Speaker 1: in here and have a seat. I want to try
Speaker 1: a few different things to one up an I just
Speaker 1: supposed to smile, maybe eventually, but it feels a weird
Speaker 1: to me to tell the women to smile. Let's try
Speaker 1: something on the opposite interest. Give me betray look at
Speaker 1: your best friend, story your doggie? Why why would do
Speaker 1: is a Belleluciano take my dog? Because if she was jealous?
Speaker 1: Now show me that the disbelief a fire in your eyes? Yes, amazing,
Speaker 1: your expressions are benefico. Now fear tell me Mona Lisa,
Speaker 1: what are you most scared of? Parrots? Always up to something.
Speaker 1: You never know what they're gonna say. Yes, now show
Speaker 1: me your face of a parrot. Fluid it right now?
Speaker 1: Perfect though. Now let's move to joy. Maybe you imagine
Speaker 1: you're at the beautiful peach with the sun on your
Speaker 1: skin now giving me a laugh like you're frolicking in
Speaker 1: the waves. Ha ha ha ha, Yes, a perfect, that's
Speaker 1: the smile I want, And that's the smile I'm going
Speaker 1: to paint. Don't move a muss for like three days
Speaker 1: while I get this down. This is the Mona Lisa smile.
Speaker 1: That's gonna make me famous and be the title of
Speaker 1: a movie. It's probably Julius Style's best performance on the film.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? It's not to me, it's
Speaker 1: Be's mind. It's coming up with this ridiculous outtake. Be.
Speaker 1: I think it's time to go back to the show now.
Speaker 1: And they lived happily ever after. Wow, great dream sequence,
Speaker 1: don't you think, Elliott B. I've told you I can't
Speaker 1: see what you see when you're daydreaming. But let's keep
Speaker 1: the momentum going with our next game. Hashtag history, hashtag history,
Speaker 1: hashtag history, hashtag history, hashtag history. Okay, okay, contestants in
Speaker 1: this game, B will read away hashtag Leonardo da Vinci
Speaker 1: might have used on his social media if they had
Speaker 1: that back then when he was alive, And you will
Speaker 1: tell us what it's about. And since this is our
Speaker 1: second game, each question is worth two points. Go for it.
Speaker 1: Be alright, This first question is for you. The first
Speaker 1: hashtag is hashtag brush with Greatness? Would Leonardo use this
Speaker 1: hashtag because A As a part of his first job,
Speaker 1: he had to make paint brushes for an artist or
Speaker 1: be Leonardo loved to brush his hair daily. A. That's right,
Speaker 1: The answer is A. Leonardo was an artist's apprentice, which
Speaker 1: is basically a student who learns a trade and does
Speaker 1: the more basic chores that the artist he studies under
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do so that they can focus on creating.
Speaker 1: There were no art supply stores back then, so apprentices
Speaker 1: learned how to make both paint brushes and paint and
Speaker 1: for the brushes they used animal hair, such as those
Speaker 1: from hogs and squirrels. So to get that hair, I
Speaker 1: guess Leonardo was also a squirrel barber. What a renaissance man.
Speaker 1: Leo's next hashtag is for you, Baldassar. The second hashtag
Speaker 1: is hashtag supper time. Would Leonardo use this hashtag because A.
Speaker 1: Leonardo had his own food network show called Diners, Drive
Speaker 1: Bins and Da Vinci's Or be Leonardo created a famous
Speaker 1: painting called The Last Supper B That's right, The answer
Speaker 1: is be. Leonardo painted one of his most famous paintings,
Speaker 1: one of the most famous paintings in history. The Last
Speaker 1: Supper is a huge mural of Jesus and his last
Speaker 1: dinner with his followers. Leonardo worked very hard on the painting,
Speaker 1: doing many sketches of it, and once he started painting,
Speaker 1: he paint from sunrise sunset without even stopping to eat
Speaker 1: or drink. Kids, don't do that at home. Feel free
Speaker 1: to stop painting to you need to drink things, you
Speaker 1: need to do it. Don't be a Leonardo sometimes nero
Speaker 1: Europe again. The next hashtag is hashtag sketchy with. Leonardo
Speaker 1: used his hashtag because A he always kept a notebook
Speaker 1: and was sketching in it or be. One of his
Speaker 1: many inventions was Saturday Night Live, the Sketch Show. That's right.
Speaker 1: The answer is a Mionardo tout many, many notebooks because
Speaker 1: he couldn't stop killing them A With ideas and drawings.
Speaker 1: He filled his notebooks for thirty years, to the point
Speaker 1: that there were about thirteen thousand pages. That's right, thirteen
Speaker 1: thousand pages. Today, only six thousand pages are known to exist,
Speaker 1: and they are considered priceless. Okay, Baltasar. This final hashtag
Speaker 1: is yours. The final hashtag is hashtag bird brain with.
Speaker 1: Leonardo used this hashtag because A he studied birds and
Speaker 1: their ability to fly or be he had a parent
Speaker 1: who loved making fun of him. Oh, that's right. The
Speaker 1: answer is a Leonardo was sure that one day people
Speaker 1: would fly, even designed a flying machine that was kind
Speaker 1: of like a helicopter. He would buy birds and cages
Speaker 1: and set them free in an attempt to understand how
Speaker 1: they flew and how they flapped their wings and they
Speaker 1: landed safely. Now, of course we know that he was right,
Speaker 1: people would fly, but the airplane wouldn't be invented until
Speaker 1: nineteen oh three hundreds of years later. But the right
Speaker 1: brothers who are also you know who Was? Podcast? Episode?
Speaker 1: Maybe go check out that episode after this one. Leonardo
Speaker 1: was a visionary, and vision areas aren't always appreciated in
Speaker 1: their time, don't I know it? And that's hashtag history,
Speaker 1: hashtag history, hashtag great round everybody, This has been so
Speaker 1: much fun. We're going to take a short break while
Speaker 1: Jane talies up the scores. Eric Lease play us some
Speaker 1: flying machine music. Get to the chapter, Sally, who was there?
Speaker 1: Marie Curie? You may remember me from winning multiple Nobel Prizes,
Speaker 1: or perhaps from my episode of the Who Was Podcast
Speaker 1: where I played myself. I wanted to take a moment
Speaker 1: to read one of my favorite reviews about the Who Was? Podcast.
Speaker 1: This is from Shaken Bay and it reads loved this
Speaker 1: Me and my little sister love this show more. Please,
Speaker 1: our faith is Ariman. If you want to hear your
Speaker 1: review right on the air, make sure to subscribe, like
Speaker 1: and review to the UA's podcasts in the I Had
Speaker 1: to Ride You Up, or wherever you get your podcasts. Revoir,
Speaker 1: Oh sho, last day, Abio, Welcome back to the Lula's podcast.
Speaker 1: Today we're learning who was Leonardo da Vinci and who
Speaker 1: was R. Roosevelt? And now back to your host Elliott Haylin.
Speaker 1: Thanks be and now without further Ado, let's go take
Speaker 1: our flying machines that are kind of like helicopters. To
Speaker 1: producer Jane for the scores. Oh, Elliott and B. It's
Speaker 1: still a very close game, but the panda has gone
Speaker 1: ahead with six points in the fly file mirror six Alfazar,
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. Wow. What a closely, very close game.
Speaker 1: That fly is is right behind that panda. And who
Speaker 1: knows how things will turn out with our last game,
Speaker 1: because there's one game left to go and it's called
Speaker 1: Converge of Greatness. In this multiple choice game, B will
Speaker 1: read questions about where our two historical figures overlap or converge.
Speaker 1: And because this is our third game. Each question is
Speaker 1: worth three points. Picked the best option as your answer
Speaker 1: at Faltazzar. This first question is for you. Be you
Speaker 1: know what to do. Both Roosevelt and da Vinci were
Speaker 1: involved in wars in their lifetimes. But while da Vinci
Speaker 1: did not believe in war, he did a design propaganda
Speaker 1: posters for it or be design uniforms for the soldiers
Speaker 1: or see design weapons for it. See that's right. The
Speaker 1: answer is seed. Vince referred to war as a disease. However,
Speaker 1: the Duke he was working for, cesare Borgia, asked him
Speaker 1: to design weapons for his troops. Despite his feelings about war,
Speaker 1: DaVinci did enjoy designing new and better war machinery. One
Speaker 1: of his designs was a giant crossboat I could shoot
Speaker 1: several arrows at once and would have taken several soldiers
Speaker 1: to operate. Because even though Leonardo didn't like war, he
Speaker 1: did like teamwork. Mira. This next one's for you. Both
Speaker 1: da Vinci and Roosevelt were interested in the workings of
Speaker 1: the human body. Da Vinci spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: studying the body, while Roosevelt was a huge advocate of
Speaker 1: physical fitness because a he thought he would grow up
Speaker 1: to be a doctor. B he was very frail as
Speaker 1: a child, or see he didn't pass the presidential physical
Speaker 1: fitness test ironic as a A. The answer is B.
Speaker 1: Roosevelt was so frail as a child that he had
Speaker 1: to stay inside into his very severe asthma. As he
Speaker 1: got older, he worked hard to develop more strength and
Speaker 1: become more athletic, leading to Roosevelt becoming the hearty outdoorsman
Speaker 1: we know him as today. Balthazar, back to you. Both
Speaker 1: Roosevelt and da Vinci were passionate about nature. As a boy,
Speaker 1: da Vinci became fascinated with a specific element of nature.
Speaker 1: Which element was it? Was it a water, be earth
Speaker 1: or sea? Air? That's right, The answer is A. When
Speaker 1: da Vinci was four years old, a hurricane hit the countryside,
Speaker 1: and when he was ten, the Arno River flooded Florence.
Speaker 1: Leonardo never forgot the flood, and all his life he
Speaker 1: drew pictures of moving water. Leonardo was fascinated by water
Speaker 1: because it was a source of life and a source
Speaker 1: of destruction. Like me, kind of ignoritor, Mira. Here's the
Speaker 1: final question. Both da Vinci and Roosevelt were incredibly multitalented.
Speaker 1: In fact, they had so many skills, it's easier to
Speaker 1: list things they didn't do. Which of the following is
Speaker 1: something Teddy Roosevelt did not do? Was it A learned
Speaker 1: to speak multiple languages. B became an expert sailor. Or
Speaker 1: C invented a new pasta shape. Which one did he
Speaker 1: not do? See, that's right, the answer is C. Sadly,
Speaker 1: Teddy never made a new pasta shape, but he did
Speaker 1: sail down Egypt's Nile River, where he discovered his love
Speaker 1: of hunting. Roosevelt also learned languages on his family's travels
Speaker 1: to Europe. He began learning German, and later he learned
Speaker 1: Latin and Greek and French. Look, I myself have learned Elvish,
Speaker 1: so I'm no slouch either. If I ever meet an elf,
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what to say. And that's the
Speaker 1: end of Converge of Greatness. And that sound means right
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. And that's the end
Speaker 1: of the show. Will we wait for Producer James tell
Speaker 1: you the points I'd love to hear from the contestants
Speaker 1: in Europe. What's your favorite thing that you learned about
Speaker 1: either Theodore Roosevelt or Leonardo da Vinci. I learned that
Speaker 1: Leonardo da Vinci didn't only paint the Mona Lisa. He
Speaker 1: painted um the girl with ermine, and he painted the
Speaker 1: other one. I thought the only lady he painted was
Speaker 1: the Mona Lisa. Yeah, he painted a number of portraits
Speaker 1: of women. It was you know, painters, they like to
Speaker 1: paint pictures of all sorts of things that they find,
Speaker 1: and certainly ladies or something that you find when you
Speaker 1: just go walking around. Ladies are all over the place.
Speaker 1: Why not paint pictures of them? Right Leonardo? Okay, Balthazar,
Speaker 1: what about you? What's something that was your favorite thing
Speaker 1: that you learned about, either Theodore Roosevelt or Leonardo da Vinci.
Speaker 1: I like Da Vinci that he tainted so many paintings
Speaker 1: and was ahead of his time. I saw one take
Speaker 1: games in Washington, d c. Yeah. His his paintings are
Speaker 1: so beautiful, aren't they? And do you remember what the
Speaker 1: painting was that you saw in Washington? I fret it was.
Speaker 1: It really amazing to think about, Oh, this person I'm
Speaker 1: reading about. I saw one of their paintings. Hundreds of
Speaker 1: years after they painted it. That painting is still there
Speaker 1: and people can still look at it. And it's almost
Speaker 1: like they're talking to the artist a little bit by
Speaker 1: looking at his work. Thank you to both of you
Speaker 1: for sharing your thoughts on those amazing things about Leonard DaVinci.
Speaker 1: And now it's time for the big moment. Jane, please
Speaker 1: announced our winner, Elliott and b It's incredible, but the
Speaker 1: fly caught up of the panda and ran ahead with
Speaker 1: the game. Baltazar one with eleven points Mirror nine. Fantastic.
