1
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Growing up in the West, many of us as children

2
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: encounter strange myths and traditions. One of the most famous

3
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: is Santa Clause. But you know, the one that always

4
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: terrified me was the tooth fairy. Yes, yes, I had.

5
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: I had a a deep and abiding fear of the

6
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: tooth fairy. I didn't like losing teeth and I didn't

7
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: like touching metal. I never have. So the idea that

8
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: there would be someone who sneaks in and like switches

9
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: this tooth that I have to sleep on top of

10
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: with metal, you know, some in the under the cover

11
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: of dark. It's a perfect storm of nightmare fuel for

12
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: you and young Ben. It's true. It's true, nol, it's true.

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: What about you were you were you a tooth fairy kid? Yeah? Yeah,

14
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: and you know and being a dad myself. Um. By

15
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: the way, we need to a quick disclaimer here. Spoiler

16
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: alert for a certain child based things. Ah, yes, spoiler

17
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: alert for stuff that's on a need to know basis.

18
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, that's a good diplomatic way. So

19
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a countdown five, four, three to one. Yes,

20
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: So my kid just now figured out that the tooth

21
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: fairy is is is me and and her mom. Did

22
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: you get caught? No? I didn't. But it just finally

23
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: was like, she's like when she's at my house, she

24
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: gets a certain amount of money. She's a mom's house,

25
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: she gets a certain amount of money. And it kind

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: of started being like, wait a minute, what maybe that

27
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: was our fault. We should have coordinated a little bit better.

28
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, she was into it and I was about

29
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: it as well. Um, and I see the benefits of it.

30
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: But Robert Lamb from Stuff to Blow Your Mind made

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: a really good point about how with things like the

32
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus, we do a really bad

33
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: job as a culture differentiating between like myth and tradition

34
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: has to be taken so literal and become like a

35
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: lie to children. I have. I have resented the Santa

36
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: Claus lie for a long time, and I'm really happy

37
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: to be done with that because it really made me

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable and there's yeah, there's some double think. It's

39
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: so strange too, because on another podcast, Stuff they Want

40
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: you to Know, one of the points that haunted me

41
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: before for years on that show was most people growing

42
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: up in the US, just statistically speaking, the first conspiracy

43
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: theory they learn about is Santa Clause and the conspiracy

44
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: thing is reels. Can you like that changes the way

45
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: you think about authority and parents and anyone over ten?

46
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Do you remember Pete and Pete the Nickelodeon show Redheaded Others?

47
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: I love that. I just remember the tattoo. The tattoo, Yeah,

48
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: you would make your dance or whatever. But that show

49
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: also had a bunch of really cool guest appearances from

50
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: like interesting musicians like Michael Stipe. First place I ever

51
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: heard of who Iggy pop was. But in that show,

52
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: there's a thing called like the International Adult Conspiracy. I

53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: believe it's what it's called. And that is exactly what

54
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff is. It is an agreed upon

55
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: the lie that you feed your children. And I just

56
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: felt uncomfortable with it because I'm like, is she gonna

57
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: ever trust anything? I say again, Yeah, especially if she

58
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: figures it out herself. And I never like come clean. Oh,

59
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: speaking of coming clean, it's time to introduce everybody to

60
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: our mutual favorite part of our show, super producer Casey

61
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: Pegram Casey, I've got to ask, when did you figure

62
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: out that the tooth Fairy was not in fact a

63
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: supernatural creature. I think I figured it out pretty early

64
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: on and kind of kept up the illusions a little

65
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: bit very parents, well, my own financial benefits, That's what

66
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because once you stop believing, then the cash

67
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: dries up. What was your exchange rate for a tooth

68
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: if you don't mind me as, I want to say,

69
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: maybe five or ten bucks? Pretty rich. And if you

70
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: were a child in the United States, in you got

71
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: an average of three dollars and seventy cents per lost tooth.

72
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: And that's twenty jump over last year's rates rate of

73
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: three dollars a tooth. And it's interesting too because it's

74
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: obviously an average. So uh, some kids might get a

75
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: twenty spot for their tooth, some kids might just get

76
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: a buck. And I believe that that was tracked regionally

77
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: and that it was found that in the South where

78
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: we live, that's where the tooth fairy was the stingiest, uh,

79
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: And I believe up north is where they were a

80
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: bit more generous. Yeah, so this is weird. I'm not

81
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: gonna say who in my family. But there was also

82
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: a practice that I thought was normal, wherein it was

83
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: kind of a surprise or a gamble to see how

84
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: much money the tooth fairy would leave you, because our

85
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: tooth fairy in our family was like pretty uh, pretty discerning,

86
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: and so some teeth would get more money because they

87
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: were better somehow, like a canine tooth at a point

88
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: was considered you know, a nice it's like tulips. It

89
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: was like tulips, except with just this invisible fairy creature. Yeah.

90
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: And speaking of like, you know, tooth fairy money as

91
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: some sort of financial indicator, Delta Dental I believe we

92
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: actually go through through our company, UM, a dental insurance company,

93
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: actually tracked the average exchange for a tooth from two

94
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: thousands up to two thousand sixteen, and they correlated it

95
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: with the changes in the SNP five market and found

96
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: that it was pretty close. Oh wow, interesting and this

97
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: is super interesting, man. This is a lot of this

98
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: is from a fabulous article from our friends over at

99
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: Mental flaws UM. The tooth fairy inspired this researcher to

100
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: come up with something called tooth fairy science. Do you

101
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: want to talk about that, man, Tooth fairy science. Yeah,

102
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: it's important, but it's not near as whimsical as it sounds.

103
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: An Air Force flight surgeon skeptic and critic of alternative

104
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: medicine named Dr Harriet Hall coined this term to essentially

105
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: describe the importance of making sure some event, object, or

106
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: phenomena is real before attempting to study it. That's right,

107
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: because the example here is if you are studying, uh,

108
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: the amount of money the tooth fairy leaves and averaging

109
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: it out. Um, you might think that you're just studying

110
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: the behavior of to the tooth fairy or tooth fairies. Um,

111
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: but what you're actually studying is the behavior of parents.

112
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: And so if you are studying a thing that doesn't

113
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: really exist, there might be another thing that is actually

114
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: doing the thing that you're studying that you even considered.

115
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: And so it's just an important way to create good

116
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: data and also to plan good studies. Yeah, and this

117
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: is interesting because we're we're looking at so many cultural

118
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: things that describe the tooth fairy. One of the things

119
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: that I think is fascinating it's when something we were

120
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: focusing on for this episode is the origin of the

121
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: tooth fairy. Because there there's so many things like Santa Claus, Christmas, trees,

122
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: the Easter bunny, things of that nature that we accept

123
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: growing up as normal, normal things. You know. Even though

124
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: uh many of these will be tied to a religious practice,

125
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: secular kids practice them too because Christmas or Hanukah. That

126
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff is just cool, you know what

127
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean? And what I think will surprise a lot

128
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: of people here is that the origins of the tooth

129
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: fairy are at least the two fairs we understand it

130
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: in the US, the origins are fairly recent. We can

131
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: trace back ancient tales of tooth related rites of passage.

132
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: That stuff is really fascinating, like tooth tossing, the throwing

133
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: of the teeth, which is appears across several different cultures,

134
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: which is really interesting. The vikings did it, especially baby teeth? Yeah, yeah,

135
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: the offering of a tooth to a rat because it

136
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: would make your like a rat or a rodent of

137
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: some sort, because it was thought to ensure that the

138
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: child's teeth would grow strong. And that's really interesting when

139
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: we get into the modern day tooth fairy myth, or

140
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: at least the story that likely was the cause of

141
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: it um where the tooth fairy is in fact a rodent. Yes, yes,

142
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: it's true. So we know that, at least in Europe,

143
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: The ritual of of how to handle one's shed baby

144
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: teeth is global. There are just different rituals around it.

145
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: Like you said, nold, Uh. This tradition in your up

146
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: at least dates back to the earliest written records in

147
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: Norse and Northern European cultures, and during the Middle Ages,

148
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: there were superstitions about children's teeth, like you had to

149
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: burn your baby teeth to save a child from hardship

150
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: in the afterlife, or um, you would wear children's teeth

151
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: to bring you good luck in battle, or you would

152
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: bury teeth to hide them from witches. And it's interesting

153
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: because back then it was thought that if a witch

154
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: were to get ahold of your teeth, the which would

155
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: have power over you. It's kind of weird, right, it

156
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: is a little weird. So what's this? Uh, what's this

157
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: original story? Because we can kind of trace it back, right,

158
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: it's neat, but it's really cool because it kind of

159
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: incorporates some of the things we were just talking about.

160
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: So it turns out that the tooth fairy. The origins

161
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: of the tooth fairy date back to eighteenth century France,

162
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: when a fairy tale called oh boy trying to do

163
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: Casey proud la bon pet la bon petit slowly, so

164
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: he and what does that translate to, sir, It's like

165
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: the good little mouse. Oh, it's the good little mouse.

166
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: And it's the good little casey on the case. So

167
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: this is the story of le bon petit, the good mouse.

168
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: There is a an evil king who imprisons a good queen,

169
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: and the queen is sort of like a you know,

170
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: a snow white type figure. She can talk to the

171
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: animals and all that, and so she gets a little

172
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: mouse to help her out of this jam. That's right,

173
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: that's right. And the mouse, luckily for her, it turns

174
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: out not to just be an intelligent, plucky little rodent. Also,

175
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: the mouse is secretly a fairy and once revealed to

176
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: be a member of the fair folk or of faye uh,

177
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: the former mouse frees the queen and then knocks out

178
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: all of the king's teeth. Yis, at which point, as

179
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: because she would naturally do in fairy tale logic, he

180
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: hides these teeth under the king's pillow and then eventually,

181
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: as the king killed. So that's not creepy at all. Well,

182
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: we could do, you know, we I'm sure everyone listening

183
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: this has heard stories before about how much more morbid

184
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: and graphic the original version of fairy Tales are, you

185
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So don't let the patina of

186
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: Disney feel good y fool you about the true nature

187
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: fairy tales. But that's fantastic, right, So this goes back

188
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: to what we're saying earlier about the cultural thing with rodents,

189
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: rodents and teeth and the sacrifice of teeth, the offering

190
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: up of teeth and the pillow even exactly. Yeah, so

191
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: let's fast forward a little bit to an especially pivotal

192
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: article that was written in nineteen eight. That's right, because

193
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: one of the earliest mentions of the tooth Fairy, which

194
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: that that is not the language used in in the play, right, No,

195
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: it's it's the cute little mouse fairy, right, their teeth

196
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: involved in the pillow, and that that kind of cements

197
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: the whole mythology of the tooth Fairy, but doesn't really

198
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: have a name yet. So in a column in the

199
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: Chicago Daily Tribune in nineteen o eight, uh called Household Hints,

200
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: somebody writes in and suggests that, um, I'm gonna quote it,

201
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: and this is also cribbing this from this mental flass

202
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: article that has a list of unexpected things about the

203
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: tooth Fairy. Um many a refractory child will allow a

204
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: loose tooth to be removed if he knows about the

205
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: tooth Fairy. If he takes his little tooth and puts

206
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: it under the pillow when he goes to bed, the

207
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: tooth Fairy will come in the night and take it away,

208
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: and in its place will leave some little gift. And

209
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: then you've got to play. That comes out in the

210
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: late twenties by Esther Watkins called The Tooth Fairy, and

211
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: that's history. And this was a rerelease of that original

212
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: French story, The Good Little Mouse. It was in English.

213
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: It was in ninety seven specifically, and this is where

214
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: the mouse Fairy character becomes cemented with some of the

215
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: imagery that we have seen before, the wings in particular,

216
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: and they're they're scattered references afterwards in around this time

217
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: to the Tooth Fairy in the first half of the

218
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: twentieth century, but it doesn't really hit its boom. It's

219
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: Malcolm Gladwell esque tipping point until after World War Two.

220
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: Because one of the most popular stories in call Your's

221
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: magazine in mentions the Tooth Fairy and this, you know,

222
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: this makes it a little bit more legitimate. But from

223
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: what what we found, the tooth fairy didn't even enter

224
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: uh in encyclopedia until what the late seventies, a very

225
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: modern American creation. M hmm. Yeah, it's much more recent

226
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: than you might think. And according to some who have

227
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: researched the history of the tooth fairies, such as Michael

228
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: Hingston over at Salon, we can't overestimate the amount of

229
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: influence corporations had over the creation of tooth fairy. So

230
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: we said, so, like, you know, the old story was

231
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: Santa Claus before the Coca Cola Santa. The appearance of

232
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: Santa vary widely. He might be really skinny, his costume differed.

233
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: But once a soda company made this sort of uh pleasant,

234
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: ruddy cheeked guy who's always wearing the same costume, they

235
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: sort of codified this icon, first in the US and

236
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: now around the world. That's how people think of Santa

237
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: Claus often. So he puts the finger at a another

238
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: corporate entity. That sort of solidified the idea of the

239
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: tooth fairy. And you can find this article it's called

240
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: Don't Tell the Kids. The real history of the tooth fairy.

241
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: In this he delves into the work of perhaps the

242
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: most influential, most prominent tooth fairy scholar scholar, Yeah, tooth

243
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: fairy scholars, Rosemary Wells, right, exactly, Rosemary Wells. And she

244
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: saw what we've been seeing that the practice of you know, um,

245
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: dealing with teeth in a ritualistic way, I guess for

246
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: lack of about Yeah, I know, was a thing across cultures,

247
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: but there was precious little known about the the origins

248
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: of the tooth fairy. And she's the one who kind

249
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: of dug in and found a lot of this stuff

250
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: and really went to town. She interviewed all kinds of folks,

251
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: anthropologists and parents and kids, and came out with a

252
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: series of articles, um to get to the heart of

253
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: this mythical creature, the root character, the root, indeed the

254
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: root that was a joke from a previous episode. Yeah yeah,

255
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. So she dove into this and became known

256
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: as like the global expert on these traditions, the evolution

257
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: of this in the zeitgeist. She even opened up the

258
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: tooth Fairy Museum in her home in Deerfield, Michigan. So

259
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: people who study this will tell you that there are

260
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: several factors that led to the tooth fairies um agreed

261
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: upon depiction here in the US. And first we should

262
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: mention for a long time, no one agreed with the

263
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: tooth fairy looked like right, that's right. It wasn't really

264
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: a prominent feature, which just kind of a winged, tiny

265
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: creature a thing that happened. Yeah, you know, especially since

266
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: the origins were it being a literal mouse, right, right,

267
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: So this changes a little bit the animation giant Disney

268
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: starts using fairies and fairy godmothers in the nineteen fifties

269
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: in a lot of their films like Tinkerbell and Cinderella's right,

270
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: So you get this image of like, this is what

271
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: a fairy. It's not a long jump to just insert

272
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: that visual that Disney provided the public consciousness with and

273
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: there you got your tooth fairy. Yeah, it's like, hey see,

274
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: this is what a fairy looks like. Now that one

275
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: is just a tooth themed fairy lack of I've always

276
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: pictured the tooth Fairies being a Tinkerbell esque figure. Yeah

277
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: you know what, Uh, I'm right there with you, man.

278
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: There's there's another thing that happens here right around the

279
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: same time, because we said the tooth fairy didn't really

280
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: blow up till post World War two US. Right, that's

281
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: an economic boom, there's an increase in prosperity. If you're

282
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: living through the Great Depression, you might not have a

283
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: nickel to give a kid, Absolutely not, that would be

284
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: a frivolous use of a nickel. And then secondly, at

285
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: least as it's argued in Forbes magazine, uh, the child

286
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: centered view of the American family doesn't really come into

287
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: play until post World War two. Now again this is Forbes,

288
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: but the author argues that after World War Two it

289
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: became normal for parents to cater to their children, to

290
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: kind of dote on them, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, before

291
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: they have them, like working in the fields or whatever.

292
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: You know. There's an interesting idea here too, which is

293
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: equating a painful, scary experience for children to some sort

294
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: of reward, like you'd be brave, get that tooth out,

295
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: you got a dollar coming your way or a nickel

296
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. Super capitalist not to mention, you can even

297
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: double down on that and make it about like hey,

298
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: if you brush your teeth thrill, well, the tooth fair

299
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: will give you more money or whatever. You know, nice parenting,

300
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: parenting jiu jitsu. That's a great move. I'm impressed with you,

301
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: so we I think we already taught. Now she knows

302
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm a dirty liar, so you know nothing. I say. Well, ever,

303
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: stand again. You tell her you're a dirty liar who

304
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: kept her teeth clean. It might be a Jack Nicholson

305
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: moment for you, like in that what was what's name

306
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: that film? A Few Good Men? You can't handle the tooth.

307
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: That's funny, that's cute. I like that. Speaking of handling

308
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: the teeth, that's another part of the whole Rigamar role.

309
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: Is you gotta kind of sneak in like a thief

310
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: in the night and and abscond with the tooth from

311
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: under your sleeping child's pillow and then shove it somewhere.

312
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: I have a drawer full of baby teeth somewhere. I

313
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: always pictured you as that kind of guy. Yeah, speaking

314
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: of that, though, you told me a really interesting story

315
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: about someone who stumbled upon a cash of teeth in

316
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: a building, in the walls of a building here in Georgia. Yes,

317
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: that's true. In October of this year in Valdosta, Georgia,

318
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: which is in South Georgia for people unfamiliar with the state.

319
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: There were some construction workers who were at the T B.

320
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: Converse building and they were trying to prepare the place

321
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: for the essentially trying to renovate it, and they wanted

322
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: to get it ready for a new commercial tenant. And

323
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: that's when they discovered around one thousand individual teeth buried

324
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: in a wall on the second floor. But the tooth

325
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: ferry were in fact real. Yeah, I know, you're just

326
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: shuddering your way through this one. I appreciate you sticking,

327
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: staying without a taking one for the team. But that

328
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: would be like the tooth fairies, like Burrow, like Den.

329
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: Perhaps that's what they do with the teeth, right, that's

330
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: the to me as a kid, isn't it. What the

331
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: hell is that fairy doing with those teeth? Like the

332
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: bone collector right right? Like the bone Club any I mean,

333
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: if you think about it, this is a weirdly common trope,

334
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: like Cereal mascots, you know, like the Lucky Charms guy.

335
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: He's just taking all these charms. What's he doing with them?

336
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: It's freakish, you know. He's also really skinny too, so

337
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: he's always not eating at all. Yeah, yeah, and it's

338
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: not like the tooth fairy is putting the teeth in

339
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: its mouth and getting a bigger smile. Though that's a

340
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: great idea for a horror story, and there is in

341
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: fact a spooky tooth fairy. I believe, not to mention

342
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: a silly tooth fairy starring the Rock and then subsequent

343
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: I believe, straight to video sequels Larry the Cable Guy.

344
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: So I would love to see Tom Waits's tooth fairy.

345
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: It's like a haggard old wizard with like tiny wings

346
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: and he comes in. He's like, gotta keep quiet, Mr Pocket. Yes,

347
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: you guys haven't seen Tom Waits in the ballot of

348
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: Busters Cross. We gotta let it go. Absolute delight. So

349
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: I feel like we we have learned a lot here.

350
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: The tooth Fairy is, at least the way we understand

351
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: it is so much more recent. It's that prospollination of

352
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: this mouse that sneaks into a kid's bedroom, and then

353
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: this general idea of the quote unquote good fairy. Right,

354
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: we just sort of smushed them together America style melt

355
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: melt there we go, Yeah, we fond dude it and

356
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: then it caught on and spread like wildfire. I feel

357
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: like there's also an economic aspect to this too, you

358
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's not like put your teeth

359
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: under your pillow and you get to spend more time

360
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: with your loved ones. It's put your teeth on your pillow.

361
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: Here's three dollars and seventy cents. Yeah, and and those

362
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: dollars in nickels and tens and twenties, and guy, I

363
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: wonder for any kids ever got a hundred? Surely, surely, yeah,

364
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: somewhere must be nice anyway. Yeah, add up to two

365
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six million dollars um. That is is bonkers. Yeah,

366
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: and there's okay. I found the quote that I wanted

367
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: to I wanted to us to hear about the economic part.

368
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: And I appreciate you putting in that huge number, that

369
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: statistic for us. So, going back to Christina and Kilgrove's

370
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: article in Forbes, she says the tooth Fairy holds a

371
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: shorter and less visible pedigree than Santa Claus, but her

372
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: macro economic function in today's society differs only in degree.

373
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: Santa Clauss promises pre monetary goodness gets you barbies or

374
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: a Rambo doll. The tooth fairies promises more modern anything,

375
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: even your own body, can be turned into gold. That,

376
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: in its final reductive wisdom, is precisely the vaunted magic

377
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: of free enterprise. That is dark and spot on. Actually, man,

378
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: do you want to rattle off a couple of these,

379
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: uh other maybe non monetary traditions at the end here

380
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: or should we just leave it with that amazing quote?

381
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: I think, I don't know. Let's maybe we can find

382
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: something a little less dark dark. Yeah, let's talk about

383
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: some of the other traditions that persist. Let's travel around

384
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: the world. So we've been to the United States, but

385
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: we talked about we we talked about tooth tossing, right, Yeah,

386
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: it's true in countries like Turkey and even Greece or Mexico. Um,

387
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: kids throw their teeth onto the roof. Why, I don't know,

388
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: that's where they belong. Good, good luck, I guess I'm

389
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: not sure. Ben. You mentioned something earlier about how it

390
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: would uh maybe encourage healthy growth of adult teeth. But

391
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: in the Philippines, Korea, India, and Vietnam, only the lower

392
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: teeth get tossed. Oh, I remember this, because the upper

393
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: teeth go on the floor and the idea is that

394
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: through I guess, sympathetic magic or attraction, the new tooth

395
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: will grow toward the old one. Smart makes sense, right,

396
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: it does make sense. Uh. And then there are other

397
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: tooth tossing things where sometimes the kid will yell out

398
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: a wish while they're tossing a tooth, which makes I

399
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: guess makes more sense to me for some reason, because

400
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: it feels like an exchange, very instant exchange. Well, I

401
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: don't have a tooth to throw, Ben, but I wish

402
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: we could just keep talking about teeth forever. But I

403
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: don't think you make it. You're shuddering at this point.

404
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: You're you're literally you're in a cold sweat. Yeah, but

405
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: we're doing this for the ridiculous historians. I'm doing it

406
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: for you all throughout Central Asia. If you have a

407
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: kid that loses a tooth, remember it's traditional to put

408
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: the tooth into some fat and feed it to a dog.

409
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: Please don't try that. I don't know how a dog

410
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: would digest a tooth. This is done because the idea

411
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: is that the grown up tooth that replaces it will

412
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: be as strong as a dog's tooth, and if there's

413
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: no dog around, bury it by a tree so that

414
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: the new tooth and strong roots. That's that's that's a

415
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: quote from a mental flossol. That's wonderful. That's wonderful. So

416
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: do you have kids, how did you handle the tooth

417
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: fairy growing up? You know what I mean? I'd love

418
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: to hear from people who didn't really have it as

419
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: a thing in their house, because not everybody does. Absolutely,

420
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: Or if you're a parent, how do you feel about

421
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: the tooth fairy? Lie? Let us know. You can write

422
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: to us a ridiculous at how stuff works dot com,

423
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: where you can hit us up on our Facebook group,

424
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: the Ridiculous Historians, where we just have a good old

425
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: time hanging out by the Internet fire, you know, warming ourselves,

426
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: burning our teeth, drinking hot cocoa together with the other

427
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: ridiculous historians that hang out. There's a lot of fun.

428
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: Casey gets on, Jonathan strict On, the the quister gets on,

429
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: or as you like to call him, Ben the Quizzler,

430
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: just to take him down to pat you gotta take

431
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: a down when he gets big. He is a hotty boy.

432
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes he gets big, a little too big, a little big,

433
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: little big. So thanks also to Alex Williams, you can

434
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: pose our track thanks to you, Noel Brown. Uh and

435
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're doing a pretty solid job navigating

436
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: the ethically fraught path of parenthood. Well, you know, when

437
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: it all came out, she definitely didn't hate me or

438
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: distrust me, So I guess I'm doing okay. We'll see

439
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: you next time, Fox,
