Speaker 1: Hi Helli yah, hi Bee, Why are you so far away?
Speaker 1: I wanted to use this telescope after reading about Galileo.
Speaker 1: He's one of the pioneers of space exploration and one
Speaker 1: of our famous figures today that you chose that instead
Speaker 1: of the microphone, after also reading about David Bowie, our
Speaker 1: other subject for today's episode. Yes, I would even call
Speaker 1: the distance between us now a real space auditing. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's the first of many puns you've got
Speaker 1: up your sleeve today. Well, yeah, calling it out like
Speaker 1: that really puts me under pressure. But yeah, I got
Speaker 1: a lot. Well, you're not the only one who can
Speaker 1: play that pun song. Game, let's dance, Eric, play us
Speaker 1: in here you go. What do you think you know
Speaker 1: about the room? The game is to get a Jane
Speaker 1: buckle up your brain because it's time to play podcast

Speaker 1: more televisions. On set, our contestants were sent Who Was
Speaker 1: books about two great figures from history. Now they're here
Speaker 1: to show off their knowledge and hopes of winning fantastic prizes.
Speaker 1: Today we're talking about star men waiting in the sky
Speaker 1: as we get to know the scientist Galileo and the
Speaker 1: rock star David Bowie. But before we get to know them,
Speaker 1: let's get to know our contestants. First up, we have
Speaker 1: Elliott Elliott. Please introduce yourself. I I'm Elliott Elliot. Do
Speaker 1: you have a fun fact you want to share with everybody? Um?
Speaker 1: I can juggle on a unicycle. WHOA. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's one fun fact or two. That might be
Speaker 1: too much fun. It's maybe the funnest fact I've ever heard.
Speaker 1: That's the most fun I've ever heard. Pact into one
Speaker 1: fact in my life and with us today we also
Speaker 1: have Tazz Tas. Please introduce yourself. Hello, I'm taz Um
Speaker 1: I use them him he him pronounced great well. Welcome
Speaker 1: Taz and welcome Elliott. We are so excited to have
Speaker 1: you both on the show. Thank you both, Yes, and
Speaker 1: thank you to Eric our musician providing that lovely meet
Speaker 1: the contestants music and all the music on the show today.
Speaker 1: So that's who is. Now let's find out who was
Speaker 1: Galileo with four fast facts. Groundbreaking mathematician and astronomer. He's
Speaker 1: the Michael Jordans of science. Developed the nautical telescope to
Speaker 1: see into the far reaches of space in sixteen o nine,
Speaker 1: discovered the four moons of Jupiter. Was placed under house
Speaker 1: arrest in sixteen thirty three by the Catholic Church for
Speaker 1: stating that the Earth went around the Sun. Galileo made
Speaker 1: more contributions to astronomy than any other single individual, not
Speaker 1: to mention his contributions to physics and mathematics. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: his handsome looks. Galileo Gali, Galileo, Galileu b B. It's
Speaker 1: it's Galilee Galilee Galileu. No, No, it's no, you switch
Speaker 1: it around, you you change the Galileo Galilee. No, that's again,
Speaker 1: you're switching it too much. Galileo DiCaprio, I described by
Speaker 1: Galileo's take a share situation. Oh, Galileo, okay, cool, certainly
Speaker 1: makes it a lot easier, Galileo, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for joining us, and thanks to the who was app
Speaker 1: forgetting you here? Was you want to make someone in
Speaker 1: the past all indeed that it is my pleasure. Spending
Speaker 1: the last years of your life under house arrest makes
Speaker 1: you grateful for every interaction. Well, we love it. If
Speaker 1: you could host our next game. It's called true or false?
Speaker 1: True or false? Is false? Is it false? Or is
Speaker 1: the true? Is the truth that it has false? Is
Speaker 1: it false that it was true? Or true? True or false?
Speaker 1: I love that song. It's as confusing as it is wonderful.
Speaker 1: Galileo is going to ask our contestants a question, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna let us know if it's true or false.
Speaker 1: This first one is for Elliott. Take it away, Gali, Okay?
Speaker 1: True or false. The time period in which I was
Speaker 1: born in Italy, it was referred to as the crusade
Speaker 1: for people who are on a crusade or a mission
Speaker 1: to make new developments in art and science. False. That's right,
Speaker 1: it's false. He was born during the Renaissance. Or rebirth
Speaker 1: because discovery was in the air. Other famous figures from
Speaker 1: this time include Michael Angelo and Shakespeare. The next question
Speaker 1: is fortas Galileo. Take it away. Well, when I was
Speaker 1: enrolled at the University of Pizza, my nickname was the
Speaker 1: Puppe because I was such a teacher's pan. False. Correct,
Speaker 1: false Again. Get's nickname was the Wrangler because he would
Speaker 1: quarrel with professors and question everything in lengthy debate before
Speaker 1: he eventually got expelled from school. Also, I've got to
Speaker 1: assume he's wearing jeans, hence the name. Next question goes
Speaker 1: to Elliott. People call me the father of modern science
Speaker 1: because I rigorously tested out my theories before presenting them
Speaker 1: in the system I developed called the scientific method that
Speaker 1: is still used today. True. That's right, it's true. Before Galleo,
Speaker 1: scientists basically just made a lot of claims about the
Speaker 1: world without actually testing them out. Galileo basically made a
Speaker 1: career of saying um, actually to Aristotle, who had many
Speaker 1: untested theories, like when Aristotle said that eels generated from mud.
Speaker 1: We know that's not true, right or is it not?
Speaker 1: That sounds now that I think it might be true.
Speaker 1: I'm very frightened about rainy days. Okay, the next question
Speaker 1: is for tas. Okay, Dad's listen closely. After I discovered
Speaker 1: the hour moons of Jupiter, I originally named them but
Speaker 1: cuff blossom, bubbos and false. That is also false. Correct.
Speaker 1: I actually named them after the members of the Media
Speaker 1: family in the hopes that the Medici's would be his
Speaker 1: sponsor so that he could go on to do more research,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what happened. It worked out great, and
Speaker 1: eventually it didn't work out so great, but for a
Speaker 1: while it worked out great, and thus concludes true or
Speaker 1: false true true true false. Excellent job both of you.
Speaker 1: You both did great. But let's hear that numerically by
Speaker 1: checking in with producer Jane with the score. Well, the
Speaker 1: numbers add up Elliott and Taz and Elliott are in
Speaker 1: a tie too. Two. It's a great time number. It's
Speaker 1: a great thing to wear when you're doing ballet to too,
Speaker 1: So thank you very much, Jane. Actually I thought it
Speaker 1: was how do you how do you say so random
Speaker 1: that you bet David Bowie and I together because we
Speaker 1: up here in the afterlife we have a band. Really,
Speaker 1: because if it wouldn't be too much to ask. Would
Speaker 1: you love to hear what we've been working on? Dude Bowie?
Speaker 1: Who was that? You want to read someone in the past. Hello,
Speaker 1: it's me pop byke On David Bowie. Whoa, whoa. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is amazing. I'm a huge David Bowie's fan. So um,
Speaker 1: please don't let us stop you let us hear this song.
Speaker 1: That's okay a podcast people, please put your hands together
Speaker 1: for the mute tical stylings of Gallo part of the SPA.
Speaker 1: I think you mean the musical stylings of Bowlilo. It's
Speaker 1: Gallolo might have studed, Yes, it's bowl Lo. It sounds
Speaker 1: like you're having a little trouble agreeing on a band name.
Speaker 1: We've been having trouble agreeing on almost everything, to be honest.
Speaker 1: Every let's see we argue a lap. But that's just
Speaker 1: what happens when you get to pop music. I counts
Speaker 1: like us in a room together, you know. Of course,
Speaker 1: it also means we haven't finished writing any songs. We
Speaker 1: started writing about one about stowing away on the certain
Speaker 1: new space telescope that got launched a few months back.
Speaker 1: Remember that one. We're having adventures and out of space.
Speaker 1: Yeah see, but no you know we haven't been able
Speaker 1: to finish a single verse. Well, maybe this is just
Speaker 1: coming to me off the dome. Maybe it has An
Speaker 1: Elliott can help you with that. Um, they're really smart
Speaker 1: and easy to get along with. You know, that's a
Speaker 1: great idea. I mean, it's it's it's no lot of pendulums.
Speaker 1: That was mine. But you're not pretty good? What do
Speaker 1: you think, Tsan Elliott? Do you want to help David
Speaker 1: Bowie and Galio finish their song? Sure? All right, that's
Speaker 1: you'll you'll get two points on the back end, okay,
Speaker 1: and the way we go we agreed. Um. All right,
Speaker 1: so I'll tell you what. I'll start playing, and then
Speaker 1: when we get to a place that needs a suggestion
Speaker 1: or like a word to fill in, your kids chime in.
Speaker 1: All right. So here the fathers are on the telescope
Speaker 1: to the stars. I don't know when we'll get back.
Speaker 1: So it's a good thing we brought a snack. Um. Actually,
Speaker 1: this is where we got hung up. What kind of
Speaker 1: snacks are we were bringing with us? And remember it
Speaker 1: has to be something we can eat in space or
Speaker 1: a new thing? Yeah yeah, yeah, no, Sue, what do
Speaker 1: you guys think he did do? You have any snacks
Speaker 1: we could bring up into space. Um, I guess vinegar ships. Yes, wow,
Speaker 1: that's really good. Yeah, love love. So we got some crisps, right,
Speaker 1: some solid crisps, and Elliott, what would you like? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess they like peanuts, except I guess
Speaker 1: peanuts has like a common allergy thing. So that's true.
Speaker 1: We have to ask all the astronauts, all the crew
Speaker 1: if they were allergic to peanuts. That's very considerate of
Speaker 1: you to not bring it just in case gal Leo
Speaker 1: and David Bowie and Taz were allergic. That's very considerate. Yeah, legum,
Speaker 1: it's go on with the track, all right, I think
Speaker 1: I've got all right need eating salting, vinegar, crisp, and
Speaker 1: peanuts if you're not allergic. As we passed by moons,
Speaker 1: big dippers that look like schools, hoping that we just
Speaker 1: might see actually, yeah, we want to see some stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, we're in space, right, we're not boring. Uh so,
Speaker 1: so what what do you think we'll see in space?
Speaker 1: What do you want to see in space? I mean,
Speaker 1: I I will answer this before I'll give Taz an
Speaker 1: Elliott a moment to think. I want to see some
Speaker 1: space trash out there. I want to see some space garbage.
Speaker 1: I want to see a floating but I want to
Speaker 1: see what it is. Um. I'm just very interested in that, tas, Elliott,
Speaker 1: what are you hoping that you would see if you
Speaker 1: were in space? Extra terrestrials, more terrestrials? Yes, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think Mr Bowie, I think I think tas means
Speaker 1: not more not more terrestrials would have extra terrestrials like aliens,
Speaker 1: terrestrials that are a bit too much the extra. No, no,
Speaker 1: not not ones that are too terrestrial. That's that I
Speaker 1: think your miss Let's uh, tas. Why did you just
Speaker 1: say aliens? Okay? Alien? Ironic that David Bowie, who wrote
Speaker 1: so many songs about space travel and and people from
Speaker 1: outer spaces, is having trouble grasping the concept of aliens
Speaker 1: from space. Well either way, Elliott, with one t what
Speaker 1: would you like to see in the space exploration? I
Speaker 1: don't know, but maybe you wrote this song called space
Speaker 1: Oddity and it was about Major m and got austin space.
Speaker 1: If you should go try to find Major Tom. I
Speaker 1: mean you kind of messed up big there, you know,
Speaker 1: getting him aust in space. You should really try to
Speaker 1: find Major Tom. Thank you for calling that back finally.
Speaker 1: M hm, this is it's your reconciliation tour. You can.
Speaker 1: It does seem like the least that David Bowie could
Speaker 1: do is to rescue that that astronaut that we've got
Speaker 1: lost in space. Yeah, this sounds perfect for folding into
Speaker 1: the song. All right, here we go hoping that we
Speaker 1: just might see terrestrials extra o regularly and finally reunite
Speaker 1: with Major Tom. Oh, the wonders of space coming into view,
Speaker 1: the story of a star bound crew. As the Earth
Speaker 1: goes round the Sun, we cannot say that. We have
Speaker 1: to say the Sun goes around there, Gali man, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know the Sun doesn't revolve around the Earth. It's
Speaker 1: the other way around. Yeah, Galileo knows that, but the
Speaker 1: Pope says, are not allowed to see that. The same
Speaker 1: thing happens, y'all hear this right. It's every time we
Speaker 1: tried to write a kill a tune and we get
Speaker 1: to some spot that you said the Pope won't let
Speaker 1: you sing, Okay, Galileo and David Bowie, I think there's, uh,
Speaker 1: there's bigger problems with the band than Arcadestan is gonna
Speaker 1: really fix right now. But thank you Elliott, thank you
Speaker 1: Tas for helping them with the song. Maybe someday they'll
Speaker 1: be able to figure out a way that they can
Speaker 1: express themselves without getting into trouble from the Pope. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have faith for Galli Galli LOI but bow bow
Speaker 1: bowl Lalo bowe lao norder DiCaprio. Oh mama Mia, Oh sorry, Scoozy,
Speaker 1: I must be off. I am late from my lunch
Speaker 1: of chicken fingers with Shakespeare. Oh oh so sorry, we're
Speaker 1: saying top of the morning. Okay, thanks to these beautiful contestants,
Speaker 1: and thanks again to the who was by Galileo Glatzi
Speaker 1: Galileo a river dergy. Hey, David, while you're here, do
Speaker 1: you think you could stick around to help us with
Speaker 1: our next game. I've got some time before our next
Speaker 1: bol Leo practice, which I'll delay as long as possible.
Speaker 1: Now it's Galio, I thought had left you know what.
Speaker 1: Let's say, take as long as you need for obvious reasons.
Speaker 1: Shakespeare by Okay, let's let's work this out. We'll be
Speaker 1: back with more after this quick break. Eric, can you
Speaker 1: please play us some Italian music? Pass the pasta Hey,
Speaker 1: who Was Her? I want to make a shout out
Speaker 1: to your own favorite person history, famous or unfamous. Do
Speaker 1: you think your sour dough recipe is better than ours?
Speaker 1: Would you like to tell us your craziest dream? I
Speaker 1: guess what I'm trying to say is we want to
Speaker 1: hear from you, So send us an email or voice
Speaker 1: memo at the who Was Podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Whola Was Podcast. We're finding out
Speaker 1: more about David Bowie and Galileo today and our Starman episode.
Speaker 1: When we last left off, Elliott had two points in
Speaker 1: Tesz had two points. And now back to your host,
Speaker 1: Elliot Kalin. Thank you be not the contestant Elliott. That's
Speaker 1: a different Elliott. We just happened to have the same
Speaker 1: amazing name. And thank you to our special guest David
Speaker 1: Bowie for sticking around through the break pleasure. So let's
Speaker 1: get to know more about this David Bowie character with
Speaker 1: four fast facts. Born David Robert Jones in in England,
Speaker 1: I've sold over a million albums in my career, winner
Speaker 1: of a two thousand six Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, launched
Speaker 1: my own internet service provider called Bowie Netty. I'm actually
Speaker 1: using Bowiette right now to get on the internet slow
Speaker 1: in my end. That's why it's really cool if you're wondering. Now,
Speaker 1: let's get right into our next game. B Sides. Now,
Speaker 1: back before we were all streaming music, we had record
Speaker 1: albums which have two sides. The A side usually had
Speaker 1: the hit song on it, and the B side was
Speaker 1: another song that was less well known. Now we found
Speaker 1: some of David's unrecorded lyrics to songs he was writing.
Speaker 1: Who sold my unfinished catslog? I left a post it
Speaker 1: note on the top of that lot saying top secret.
Speaker 1: No one was supposed to touch that. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: take it from me, David Bowie. Post it notes are
Speaker 1: not legally binding, that is for sure. And so we're
Speaker 1: gonna continue with the game. Now. In this game, you're
Speaker 1: gonna listen to the lyrics and tell us what he
Speaker 1: was writing about for one point each. And this is
Speaker 1: a multiple choice game, so we'll be offering you choices
Speaker 1: of options and you'll choose the one you think is best.
Speaker 1: Tas this first song is for you, okay ta, I'm
Speaker 1: just a character from David Bowie's brain, singing about space
Speaker 1: and spiders, with my stomm and refrain. Now was David
Speaker 1: Bowie singing about a character he created called a silly
Speaker 1: Zardust be Ziggy Stardust or see Zoey Deschanel. B. That's right.
Speaker 1: The answer is be Zeky Sardust is a character David
Speaker 1: transformed himself into while performing. The next question is for Elliott.
Speaker 1: Major Tom was alone and scared, but until this event
Speaker 1: no one much cared. Okay, Now what big event is
Speaker 1: David Bowie talking about that affected Major Tom? Is it
Speaker 1: a the fall of the Berlin Wall? Be the Apollo
Speaker 1: eleven moon landing or see the live Aid concert. B.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's yeah. Don't teach your answer, no, it
Speaker 1: was right. Okay Dad, don't noverthink yourself. Come on, first answer,
Speaker 1: best answer. The answer is the Apollo moon landing and
Speaker 1: the song is called Space Oddity. It was inspired by
Speaker 1: a very famous movie, one of my favorites personally called
Speaker 1: two thousand one a Space Odyssey, and David used the
Speaker 1: image of an astronaut to tap into his feelings of
Speaker 1: loneliness and to connect with people all over the world
Speaker 1: and maybe other worlds. Who knows. Next song is for
Speaker 1: Taz Go ahead, dB. The fame was too much. Oh
Speaker 1: what a pity, So I left the spotlight and camped
Speaker 1: out in this city. Okay, which city is David talking about?
Speaker 1: Is it a Edinburgh, Scotland, B Berlin, Germany or see
Speaker 1: Labyrinth Chile. Huh. I'm not sure about this one, so
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with B. That's right. The answer
Speaker 1: is B. Berlin is also where he wrote his hit
Speaker 1: song Heroes. And for the record, Labyrinth Chile is not
Speaker 1: a real place, so don't try to go there. You'll
Speaker 1: get lost, hence the name. It's not real. The next
Speaker 1: question is for Elliott, a great first date can be
Speaker 1: fancy as can be, or make it really special and
Speaker 1: just have tea. What for state is David talking about here?
Speaker 1: A his first time sitting down with his friend John Lennon,
Speaker 1: be his first date with future wife came on, or
Speaker 1: see his first date with the Elephant Man. Uh B,
Speaker 1: that's right. The answers be David didn't Dave the Elephant Man.
Speaker 1: He portrayed him on Broadway, once again shattering expectations people
Speaker 1: had about him being just a musician. So that's the
Speaker 1: end of B sides. Excellent round for both of you,
Speaker 1: and let's check in with producer Jane for the Discus
Speaker 1: Gus Gus scores? Did that work? I liked it? Yes, Elliott,
Speaker 1: I don't mind telling you that we are once again
Speaker 1: head to head. The score is tied with TAZ four
Speaker 1: helly four four for four or four. It's a great
Speaker 1: beat and also a great score. Well, great working, and
Speaker 1: thanks so much for your help on the song. And uh,
Speaker 1: this has been fantastic, but I must be on my way.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me and thanks again. Who was that? Who? Boy? Wow?
Speaker 1: What a fun exciting episode this has been with both
Speaker 1: David Bowie and Galileo. Oh, I know, I am such
Speaker 1: a fan of them both. I wish I could just
Speaker 1: have like a dance break where we all jam out
Speaker 1: to David Bowie songs. Well, you know what, I encourage
Speaker 1: our listeners to do just that. Now while we take
Speaker 1: a short break, go ahead, google some David Bowie hits.
Speaker 1: Get dancing. We'll be back with the scores end our
Speaker 1: final game right after this, Eric, play us some dance
Speaker 1: music please five six, seven eight. We're back on the
Speaker 1: Whose podcast today we're learning all about who was David
Speaker 1: Bowie and who was Galileo? When we last left off
Speaker 1: Elliott had four points and Tess had four points. And
Speaker 1: now here's your host, Elliott Klin. Thank you be for
Speaker 1: pronouncing the second T in my name. Most people forget to.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Now it's time for our final game,
Speaker 1: Converge of Greatness. Is there a more inspiring piece of
Speaker 1: music than that? Answer? No? And this multiple choice game
Speaker 1: be will read questions where are two historical figures over lamp?
Speaker 1: And because we'recovering two times the history, this game is
Speaker 1: worth two points for each question that's right two times
Speaker 1: the history, two times the points. Pick the best option
Speaker 1: as your answer, Elliott, this first question is for you.
Speaker 1: Take it away, be alright. Both Galileo and Bowie come
Speaker 1: from musical families. Bowie Stanley was one of the first
Speaker 1: in their neighborhood to own a record player, but Galileo's
Speaker 1: father was one of the first musicians to do this.
Speaker 1: Is it A create notes and add them to the scale, B,
Speaker 1: use a voice modulator or see sing in a giant
Speaker 1: snail costume and make people guess his idea to T
Speaker 1: A and C sounds a little weird. The answer is
Speaker 1: A and C. To be fairisee does sound a little weird. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does sound a little weird. Hugely successful show though,
Speaker 1: so people like weird stuff, I guess. But the answer
Speaker 1: is a. Galileo followed in his father's footsteps when he
Speaker 1: stepped outside the norms and questions the old ways of thinking.
Speaker 1: Galileo's father wrote a book on music theory that angered people,
Speaker 1: not enough to put him under house arrest. That was
Speaker 1: for his son to do, and not enough I guess
Speaker 1: for people to put him in a snail costume. Okay,
Speaker 1: next question is for Tad's Bowie and Galileo were both
Speaker 1: known for their flamboyant style of dress. Bowie went more
Speaker 1: towards sparkles and vibrant colors, but Galileo's form of flamboyant
Speaker 1: dressing meant he a were powdered wigs. Be invented a
Speaker 1: new type of pants that was half shorts and half pants,
Speaker 1: called cool lots or coolat Doza, as they might say.
Speaker 1: An Italian or ce rejected the long floy robes that
Speaker 1: university professors of his time were supposed to wear. See
Speaker 1: that's right, The answer is cee. Although Galileo would have
Speaker 1: looks nice in those cool logs, He's got great calves
Speaker 1: ashamed to hide them under that snail costume. Next question
Speaker 1: is for Elliott. Galileo and Bowie didn't do all their
Speaker 1: work alone. They had some very powerful supporters. For Galileo
Speaker 1: that meant the Medici family. But which one of the
Speaker 1: following people is someone who helped Bowie achieve his musical goals?
Speaker 1: A Marina Gamba, B Brian Eno or see Hunky Dory.
Speaker 1: Um B, that's right, The answer is B record producer
Speaker 1: Brian Eno. Marina Gambo was the name of Galileo's longtime
Speaker 1: romantic partner, and Hunky Dory is not a person, no
Speaker 1: matter what the Real Housewives thinks. Okay, this last question
Speaker 1: is for Taz. Go ahead, be alright. Bowie is saying
Speaker 1: about a star man and Galileo discovered the man in
Speaker 1: the moon was actually this is it a lunar mountains
Speaker 1: and craters? Be left over to are you from asteroids
Speaker 1: or see mountains of snow from lunar avalanches? B. I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. The answer is A. It's lunar mountains and craters.
Speaker 1: But that's a good guest. Aristotle claimed the moon was smooth,
Speaker 1: and Galileo once again proved him wrong. Take that Aristotle,
Speaker 1: stay down your burnt. That sound means right at the
Speaker 1: end of that game and the end of the show. Now,
Speaker 1: while we wait for Jane to tell you the points,
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from our contestants. Is there anything
Speaker 1: that you learned about David Bowie or Galileo preparing for
Speaker 1: the game that really surprised you or stuck out to you,
Speaker 1: something that you really remember, you found really interesting? Tes
Speaker 1: what about you? Is there anything that you learned that
Speaker 1: really stuck with you? Um I learned a lot about
Speaker 1: David Bowie, but um I had done studies on Galileo already.
Speaker 1: Is there something that wasn't covered in the book about
Speaker 1: Galileo that you would wanna share with us, like another
Speaker 1: fun fact that maybe we don't know about Galileo. Well, actually,
Speaker 1: on the internet they said that he died um at
Speaker 1: um seventy seven, but in the book it said he
Speaker 1: died at seventy eight. Looks like we've got a history's
Speaker 1: mystery on our hand. Yeah, we gotta talk. We gotta
Speaker 1: double check with the good people who was book series
Speaker 1: and figure that out. Well, it's okay if the book
Speaker 1: is a little off. It is written by a penguin, right, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: You put enough penguins in a room with the typewriters
Speaker 1: and you'll get it. Who was book for sure? So, Elliott,
Speaker 1: is there anything about David Bowie or Galileo that really
Speaker 1: stuck out to you or that you really remembered were
Speaker 1: surprised by. I'd say for David Bowie, I thought it
Speaker 1: was super cool how he like really didn't care what
Speaker 1: other people thought. He was just like really, you know,
Speaker 1: I thought it was really cool with like the too
Speaker 1: cover photos, you know, for that album, he like did
Speaker 1: that one cover photo and that really showed like who
Speaker 1: he was. I mean, it's it's too bad that like
Speaker 1: the the US like made it some really bad picture
Speaker 1: of a cowboy, but whatever, But yeah, I thought that
Speaker 1: was just really cool. Yeah, that he was willing to
Speaker 1: go out there and really express himself. Yeah, is there
Speaker 1: something about his music is great? But also just giving
Speaker 1: other people permission to be themselves by being out there
Speaker 1: being himself is just such a wonderful achievement and contribution.
Speaker 1: So that's a great message take from it. Thank you both,
Speaker 1: and now for the big moment, Jane, please announce our winner. Well,
Speaker 1: Elliott and b I don't mind telling you that it
