<v Speaker 1>about that after the show. But you know, over the years,

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>we've heard some pretty crazy facts like this and some

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>of the other secrets of Disneyland and other Disney parks.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.600

<v Speaker 1>hidd an apartment above the fire station in Disneyland, which

<v Speaker 1>that we might not have known about Disney. So let's

<v Speaker 1>get started. As our guests, we're gonna let you go first, Allison.

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 1>What you got? I am delighted to go first. So

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>as you're just talking about, well, there is that private

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>apartment that Wall and Lilian used to have in Disneyland,

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and one really cool thing that I loved about it

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of gave me the warm fuzzies. Was that what

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>would be on the Disneyland premises quite a bit and

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>he it was kind of like a small little spot,

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>five square feet decorated. Yeah yeah, quite small, decorated in

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the Victorian era, filled with you know, some fun stuff

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 1>for Walton Lilan to pass the time. Mango paying attention. Sorry, yeah, yeah,

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I heard. It was a small apartment. In this very

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>small apartment, there was a special thing that I think

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you would like. Do you know what? It was? A

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>grilled cheesemaker. Yeah. Wow, pretty cool. Huh So one of

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the cool facts about this apartment. I thought that was

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>your fact that there was a grilled cheesemaker. That's awesome though, No,

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't my fact. There's a better one. So one

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>of the cool things, and I think you guys are

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna like this kind of gives you the warm fuzzies.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>It gives me the warm fuzzies was that Will always

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.679
<v Speaker 1>had the light burning on his apartment, and when after

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>he passed in ninety six, Disneyland decided to keep that

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>light burning on for him. So if you ever enter

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>the park and you go by the Main Street firehouse,

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and you look up on the second floor, you'll see

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the light burning. And so it's kind of reminder that

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Walt Disney is still alive and all of us. Oh wow,

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:14.119
<v Speaker 1>so it stays. That's amazing. Yeah, I love that. That's

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>really awesome. Alright, good, good, first fact, Mango, what you got.

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>So this is one of the strangest things that's happened

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>at the happiest place on Earth, and it's at the

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Beatles officially broke up there and so this is way

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>back in December of nine, but that's when John Lennon

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>actually signed the papers that officially dissolved the band. And

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a photo of him like signing the papers and

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>in the background you see the uh, the Polynesian Village hotel.

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>That is pretty crazy. I had no idea about that.

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Is that where they fired Eddie Murphy when it was

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the Clarence Is before. I don't know if you remember that.

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty interesting too. Alright, Well, I've got one. I'm

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>going to start. Um, let's see which one I want

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to start with. Since you talked about them, you know,

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>officially breaking up are almost officially breaking up there. I

0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>will start with a different kind of contract and that

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>was one that almost happened. That is, Disney almost opened

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>a park in St. Louis. So in the sixties, Walt

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>himself was personally involved in coming up with the plans

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>for a Midwestern park. It was going to have a

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>theme around Old St. Louis and rides around the Mississippi

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>River and the Old West animatronics of Thomas Jefferson and

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Napoleon would have talked about the Louisiana purchase. So all

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>these plans were in order. It looked like they were

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>going to move forward. And then Walt looked around and

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>realized that he could buy a ton of swampland in

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Florida for a whole lot less money, and so they

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>decided to go for that, and so in nineteen sixty

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>five they announced that they were no longer going to

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>be moving forward with this, but we almost had a

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>park in the in St. Louis. That's pretty cool. Yeah,

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>all right, Allison, you're second fact. Okay, So when the

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 1>lights go down and all the guests are clearing out

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>of Disneyland, and there's a whole another sort of life

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that comes on as night closes in, and so there's

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>of course a hard working night crew that does things

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 1>like repair and repaint and do all the things that

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>guests have weirdly done to in the day. But there's

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 1>also a whole lot of cats terrifying let's start prowling Disneyland.

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>And the thing is is, um, the disney folks are

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>okay with us. Why are they okay with this? To

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>guys think, oh, you know, what is it? Does that

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:19.799
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with rodents? Absolutely? So they have about

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a hundred cats currently like roaming the grounds, and they

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>take care of them too. Um. They've spayed and neutered

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 1>the cats. They have permanent feeding stations installed in two

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of the parks, and they generally provide like routine veterinary

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>care like vaccinations and things like that, maybe a little

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>flea treatment just to make sure they're not transmitting those

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>pesky fleas well. That I mean that that makes sense.

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>You want to get rid of the smaller mice so

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>that you can concentrate on the bigger ones. So the

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 1>interesting thing is they've taken a little flak about it

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>over the years too, because cat lovers have different feelings

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.239
<v Speaker 1>about trap and release programs and spaying, neutering all that stuff.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 1>So some people want to see the cats have a

0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>permanent home, while some people are totally okay with what

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Disney How's going on now? So these are just feral

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>cats that are just around and kind of in hiding

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>during the day and then they come out at night. Yeah,

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>although they're not totally in hiding, you can spot them

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>and people do spot them and cat lovers do. And

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>so there's a whole thing online, as you might guess,

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's called at Disneyland Cats. You can find him

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram. There's one particularly photogenic fellow and his name

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:28.479
<v Speaker 1>is Francisco hashtag Francisco Fridays. He's lovely. I caught a

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>photo of him and he is bathed in a sunbeam

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 1>and it looks like he's pondering life. He's got like

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>this coat of brown and orange and that just like

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>his coat, is glow. It's lovely. It looks like a

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.119
<v Speaker 1>lovely Disney cat. Well, despite the fact that I'm pretty

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 1>scared of cats, that is sweet and finally a reason

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to go to Disney right right to see the cat

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>exactly All right, Well, mango, what do you have next?

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.839
<v Speaker 1>So this is the story I never would have found

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 1>without the wonderful Stacy Conrad, but she told me this

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>crazy fact about how Walt Disney actually kidnapped Richard Nixon. What. So,

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>this is when Nixon was VP, and apparently in nine

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Nixon visited Disneyland to dedicate the whole new mono rail

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>system while had built, and when he and Walt took off,

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the Secret Service was caught off guard and they were

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>just standing out on the platform outside, so they weren't

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>inside the train. But here's the funny part. So they

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>like raced around the Secret Services all worried, and then

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>as the train starts pulling into the platform, the Secret

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Service starts like chasing to to catch up with the train,

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and then Disney takes off again. Apparently as the train

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>was slowing like, Nixon's daughters were so excited that they

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 1>started yelling again again. So you know, Disney Disney, of

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>course keep them happy. That's pretty great. But what's the

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>weirdest part about this is that the mono rail had

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>only been tested one time to that point, so imagine

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>ears were actually worried that it might break down or

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 1>even catch on fire with Nix and his family on board. Wow,

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's even more weird than that, with that

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I also have a Nixon related Disney fact of our

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm facts. Two of them are related to Nixon, and

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>mine is a little bit different, a little bit less fun.

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>And that is the fact that he delivered his I

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Am not a Crook speech from the ballroom of Disney's

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Contemporary Resort hotel. Did you did you know this? I

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>never knew this until we were digging stuff into this.

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>So in nineteen seventy three, he's buried in the Watergate scandal. Well,

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a gathering of the Associated Press managing editors there

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's some sort of conference, and he decided

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>to take this opportunity to go speak to them, and

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>he sits down for one on one interview and that's

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>where he delivers that famous quote of I Am not

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a crook. That's the Beatles and Nixon. Yeah, I know,

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.719
<v Speaker 1>it's just a big history that happened there. All right.

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's our last fact of the day, Allison, you

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.079
<v Speaker 1>got one more for us? I sure do, And this

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>is a good one. Okay. So in Disney gets together

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>with co Tex or rather Kimberly Clark, who, as we

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>all know, is the big multinational corporation, and they make

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of consumer products, and co Tex in particular

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>is a maker of women's hygiene products, like you know,

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>things like liners and pads and tampons and stuff like that.

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>So they get together and they're like, yeah, let's let's

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>do this thing. Let's tell let's tell young women the

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>story of menstruation. And so I watched the film a

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>bunch of times on YouTube. There is this bunch of

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>times I did, Yeah, absolutely, it's uh. There's this lovely

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>um lilting narration throughout, very practical to a lot of

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>common sense. She is uncredited, which bummed me out because

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to find out who she was. Um. And

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>so she takes you through the whole She takes young

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 1>females through the whole story of menstruation, and there's I

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>thought it should be a good refresher course. Honestly. Was

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>this distributed somewhere or like or where where was this?

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>It was shown to millions of kids in health education classes.

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Very interesting. It's pretty wide ranging too. Once you get

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>through the actual mechanics of menstruation. There's a lot of

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>advice that comes with it, and they do a little

0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>myth busting, which I particularly dug um as brs exercise,

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>it's good for you. Um do in fact, shower when

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you're going through menstruation. That's a good thing as well.

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Um and some other stuff. I just got a kick

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>out of it. Well that is super interesting, Okay, I

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>know it's crazy that Disney was in the sponsored content

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>game exactly. Alright, mano, you got one more. Yeah, so

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>mine is strangely an underwear related fact. And uh so

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>this is a headline I found from two thousand one

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and it caught my attention. It was in the l

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:31.319
<v Speaker 1>A Times and it reads, quote new contract gives Disney

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>workers clean underwear. So apparently, thanks to their team Stares union,

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Disney employees negotiated a new contract where they received individual

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>underwear and they no longer had to wear the communal

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>underwear that had been supplied. So basically this is how

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>it worked. Like you get your goofy, your mini mouse costume,

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.319
<v Speaker 1>and then you wear it for the day and then

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you turn it back into Disney Services for laundering. But

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>something wasn't working because enough people got license scabies that

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>they had to change their rules. And now employees not

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>only get their own underwear, they also get to wash

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>them themselves. How sweet. Wow. All right, well that's kind

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 1>of a scary fact. But I decided to also end

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>with a bit of a spooky fact as we're getting

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>closer to Halloween here, and this one has to do

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>with the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. So according to

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Jason Searle, who's the author of a book called Pirates

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 1>of the Caribbean From the Magic Kingdom to the movies,

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>they apparently used to use real skeletons in this ride

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>when you would go through it because they were worried

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>that like fake skeletons or fake bones wouldn't look real enough.

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>So they worked with u C l A. I know, yeah,

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.959
<v Speaker 1>like that's not a real skeleton. Everything else here looks

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>super real, but not those skeleton bones. And so they

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>worked with u c l A Medical Center in order

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to get real bones. And this was this was the

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>case for a little while until they decided that maybe

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>this was a little bit insensitive to be using these

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>actual bones from real dead people, and so they decided

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>to return the bones. But apparently there's a lone skull

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>and crossbon is looming in the headboard in that scene

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>where a long dead pirate is sitting in a bed.

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he's clutching a magnifying glass. So that's the word.

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's true, but that's what they

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>say that that's the lone skeleton, real skeleton still in.

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I love the idea that, you know, like some people

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 1>don't neate their bodies of science, if you could just

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>tick the box that donates your bodies to like Disney,

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.559
<v Speaker 1>I would totally do that. I mean, give your organs

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to better causes, right, but when it comes to the bones,

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.559
<v Speaker 1>like sure, that'd be awesome, be forever remembered as part

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of a ride. So I'm going to Disney World. Yeah.

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Have you guys been to Disney World. Yeah, I've been

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 1>to Disney World. I've never actually been to Disneyland. Yeah

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah. But Mr Tristan over here is passionate with

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>his same Mr Toad. I hope it happens one day, Tristan.

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Good luck with that, alright, Mango. So those are our facts.

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you think we gotta give out a trophy today? Well,

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I I feel like you present some good facts,

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and I had some good facts. But I really love

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the feral cat story along with the you know, the

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>menstruation story and the lamp one, so I feel like

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Allison really deserves it. Alright, congratulations, your first visit here

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.920
