How does 18 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: it all tie together? We'll see. And by the way, I, 19 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: if I have time, I might just go ahead and 20 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: debut a new short segment on this particular episode. I 21 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: like to keep things positive, as you probably know, However, 22 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: it might be nice to get a little steam off 23 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: once in a while, so I think I might entroduce 24 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: there's a new segment called things that Suck. But let's 25 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: go with apotheosis, shall we. When I was a kid, 26 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: my family took us on our first family vacation to Washington, DC, 27 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: the capital of the USA, And since then I've been 28 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: back many times throughout my life. But it was certainly 29 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: an impressive introduction to our nation's capital, and a lot 30 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: stood out in my mind, but one thing that definitely 31 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: stood out was our trip to the Capitol Building. And 32 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: when you go to the US Capitol Building there in DC, 33 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: you walk at one point underneath the big dome in 34 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: the rotunda, and if you crane your neck back and 35 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: you look straight up, you see a glorious painting way 36 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: up there, a fresco. It's one hundred and eighty feet 37 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: above the rotunda floor that's fifty five meters, and the 38 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: figures that are painted are up to fifteen feet tall 39 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: that is four point six meters, so they're very visible 40 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: from the floor far below. This dome was completed in 41 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: eighteen sixty three by a Greek Italian artist named Constantino 42 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 1: Brumidi and The thing that's sort of astounding about it 43 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: is that, well, by the way, this is always kind 44 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: of interesting. He was paid forty thousand dollars to do 45 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: this job. And let's see, that would be eight hundred 46 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: and forty one thousand, three hundred four in today's money. 47 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: But this guy had this artist he had worked for 48 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: three years in the Vatican, he had served several aristocrats 49 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: as an artist for palaces and phyllis, and he had, 50 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: you know, quite obviously an amazing background, which is why 51 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: he got hired to do this. But here's what you see. 52 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: If you've never actually looked into this or been to 53 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: DC or whatever. This painting depicts George Washington, and he's 54 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: sitting there among the heavens swirling all around him in 55 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: an exalted manner, more or less becoming a godlike being. Now, 56 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: of course, George Washington was the first US President and 57 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: commander in chief of the Continental Army during the American 58 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: Revolutionary War. So when you look up, he is sitting 59 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: there draped in purple, which was worn by generals of 60 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: the ancient Roman Republic when during their triumphs. There's a 61 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: sort of a rainbow arch at his feet, and he's 62 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: flanked by goddesses and gods and various figures from class 63 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: school mythology. I won't go into all the little details 64 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: because you know, it would take me a lot of 65 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: time to do that. And you can go and look 66 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: this up for yourself if you're interested. But he's sitting 67 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: up there looking very much like a you know, sort 68 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: of a godlike being. I'm actually looking at a close 69 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: up of it right now, and yeah, it's impressive. This 70 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: is called this painting. It's called the Apotheosis of Washington. 71 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: And as I stood there staring at this and thinking 72 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: about it, and I've always been a big fan of 73 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: American history, fascinated by all of it, I actually have 74 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: a I guess it's a death mask. Maybe it's a 75 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: life mask. I don't recall if it's a life mask 76 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: or a death mask of George Washington hanging on one 77 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: of my walls. And I had never heard this word 78 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: apotheosis before. That was the very first time. Do you 79 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: know what apotheosis means? Well, Apotheosis refers to the highest 80 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: point of development culmination, perfect example, the elevation of a 81 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: person to divine status or deification. So what we're talking 82 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,799 Speaker 1: about here is the glorification of a subject to divine 83 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: levels and the treatment of a human being or any 84 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: other living thing, or an abstract idea in the likeness 85 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: of a deity, and it's been used in art pretty 86 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: much since the beginning of time. A lot of religions 87 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: actually have this kind of imagery being used. Not surprisingly 88 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: in religion, apotheosis is a feature of these religions that 89 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: believe that there's a possibility of newly created gods, a 90 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: polytheistic belief system, and of course, you know, the Abrahamic 91 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: religions of Islam and Judaism don't allow for this, though 92 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: many recognized minor sacred categories such as saints in Christian 93 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: theology as being somewhat like that. Through canonization, you find 94 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: it in all kinds of other you know, various forms 95 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: in religion, Hinduism. But yeah, it shows up a lot 96 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: in art, and so again, without digging too deeply into 97 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: examples of this, I think you kind of get the idea. 98 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: It's fascinating to me because what we're really talking about 99 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: here is this question about whether or not, if whether 100 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: or not it is possible, but for a human being, 101 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: because that's just what George Washington was a human being 102 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: to become some kind of a divine like being, and 103 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's I've always thought that maybe this is 104 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: why we have this happening with our modern day superheroes, 105 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: because like, for example, one of my favorite movies is 106 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: called Watchmen. Let's see what year did that come out? 107 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: That came out in two thousand and nine. It's based 108 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: on a comic book. Actually I guess it's more like 109 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: a graphic novel. But anyway, so in this story, this 110 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:08,359 Speaker 1: epic story, there is a scientist, he's a human physicist 111 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: or a lab technician of some kind, and he gets 112 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: trapped in a chamber and hit with an amazing amount 113 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: of radiation and it basically it destroys his body and 114 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: then reassembles it with all these blue lightning bolts and sparks, 115 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: and after that, he gradually starts to appear around the property. 116 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: He appears first as sort of like a circulatory system, 117 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: and then he appears like a few days later with muscles, 118 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: and then and then eventually he ends up being this huge, majestic, 119 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: glowing blue guy who is an example of perfection with 120 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: amazing blue body parts. And he has called Doctor Manhattan. 121 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: And so doctor Manhattan is now he has basically got 122 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: the power to do whatever he wants, and it's kind 123 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: of fascinating to see how that even though he has 124 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: this power, he still has a lot of sort of 125 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: like petty human like emotions and feelings. And he finally 126 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: just gets fed up with humans altogether and decides to 127 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: teleport himself to Mars where he can live all by 128 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: himself on this planet. That would be an example of apotheosis. 129 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: I guess you could say that. I mean, I don't 130 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: think that Superman would necessarily be a potheosis, because that 131 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: Superman he was already born with these powers. But maybe 132 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: you have like Green Lantern, he was a regular man 133 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: who obtained this magical green ring that gave him certain powers, 134 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: not absolute power, or like maybe the Flash. I think 135 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: there's a story where the Flash he turns into a 136 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: divine sort of being who has these godlike powers. Wolverine 137 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: and the X Men series and all that. Wolverine he 138 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: was already born with some freakish abilities, but he was 139 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: put into a laboratory treated with this special process where 140 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: they put this metal I think it was called adamantium 141 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: or something on him and turned him into a much 142 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: more superior being. You have examples of this, and maybe 143 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm not doing the best job of digging into it, 144 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: but I started thinking about this, Is there any way 145 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: that apotheosis is a literal thing? Can it be a 146 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: literal thing? And then I started really letting my mind 147 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: soar and it led me to the theory of art 148 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: and artists. And you'll see how that ties into well, 149 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: things that we all find kind of interesting. I imagine 150 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: things like the Bread's grim and mother Goose, who do 151 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: you think was around first? Well, I'll tie all this 152 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: together somehow, I always do. I think, Hey, listen, it's 153 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: that time of year. I'm doing spring cleaning, and I 154 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: have a collection of crazy, amazing things like you would 155 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: not believe, and I'm going to be selling some of 156 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: them off that are already some of them should already 157 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: be selling by the time you hear this, And I 158 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: mean stuff from my storage units. I hate to let 159 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: them go, but I need the space.

Giitato zoom a. I'm 173 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: a little stuffy. I should have taken my allergy pill 174 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: before this show. You know the Greek word, well, the 175 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: word apotheosis. It comes from a Greek word that means 176 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: to deify or make a god. And I was thinking 177 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: about that, and it's really interesting because soon there is 178 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: a major motion picture coming out called The Odyssey by 179 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan, and it is based on an epic poem 180 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: that was written by an ancient Greek writer named Homer, 181 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: and Homer wrote that about twenty seven hundred to twenty 182 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: eight hundred years ago, and think about the idea that 183 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: there was some guy had not a not a superhero, 184 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: a not a superhuman, just a man who could write, 185 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: who wrote this story twenty seven hundred, twenty eight hundred 186 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: years ago, and it has been passed along all this 187 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: time to now be a major motion picture in this era. 188 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: Does that seem like maybe a form of apotheosis that 189 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, if somebody liked even as great as 190 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: George Washington could literally be elevated up and then transform 191 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: into a divine being and he and even if he 192 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: could be he and he probably wouldn't be like a 193 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: human anymore. Who knows what he would be like. But 194 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: it's uh so, it's kind of paradoxical to think about 195 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: it that way. But if you look at it more realistically, 196 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: humans do create art that can live on insane amounts 197 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: of time and affect the world in profound ways. I mean, 198 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: just look for example, at say the old composers like 199 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: Beethoven or Mozart. They would be totally forgotten if they 200 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: weren't great composers, and yet today we listen to their 201 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: music all the time. And I believe it was Beethoven 202 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: that said the point of music is to put the 203 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: listener into the mind of the composer. Do you see 204 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: what I mean? It almost seems like that whatever your 205 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: form of art is, if you are a successful artist, 206 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: that maybe that is a way in which apotheosis can 207 00:16:53,960 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: actually exist. It's some form of war. And I mean, 208 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: think about things that have influenced most of you listening 209 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: to the show right now, like, for example, the stories 210 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: and the rhymes from Mother Goose or the Brother's Grim. Now, 211 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that just about everybody has heard at least 212 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: one story from these old collections of stories the Mother 213 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: Goose tells and the brothers Grim. But what do you 214 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: think came first? Who was first Mother Goose or Brother's Grim? 215 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: I bet most people have no idea. Well, it was 216 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: by far Mother Goose. Mother Goose is this She's a 217 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: fictional character. She's a mythical, archetypal figure behind traditional English 218 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: nursery rhymes and fairy tales, often depicted as an elderly 219 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: woman or some kind of a bird, like an anthropomorphized bird. 220 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: And that she has you know, she originated as a 221 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: folk tale figure. But the first person to really write 222 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: down the Mother Goose tales was a French author named 223 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: Charles Perrault, and he published the Mother Goose Tales. Let's 224 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: see they believe those tales go back to Oh my gosh, 225 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: it's something something crazy, the sixteen hundreds. Let's she what executing? 226 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: What year was Mother Goose published? I know I looked 227 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: this up, but you know, I have too many facts 228 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: in front of me. So it was first published in 229 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: sixteen ninety seven by this French author, and I believe 230 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: he didn't even start writing this kind of stuff until 231 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: he was in his sixties. Interesting story behind that guy, 232 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: But I don't have time to tell everybody's everybody's story, 233 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, to me in a podcast. One of the 234 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: cool things is I can just sort of like plant 235 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: ideas in your head, and if you find something that's 236 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: interesting to you, well, now you can just jump on 237 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: the internet and do your own research. Brothers Grim did 238 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: not start publishing until the eighteen hundreds. And I'll see 239 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: Mother Goose was again a fictional character, and so Mother 240 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: Goose she was telling stories all the time to kids 241 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: and nursery rhymes, and so the Brother's Grim they came 242 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: along and let's see they started publishing these Grims. Tells 243 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: I think the they published their first tales and oh gosh, again, 244 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: let's see, I get when were the first Brothers Grim 245 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: tales published? So why don't you just love being able 246 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: to look up random stuff like that? Oh my goodness, 247 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: it says eighteen twelve, eighteen twelve. So it was a 248 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: long time afterward. And you know the brothers Grim, they 249 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: were they're fascinating guys, Jacob and Wilhem. They were German academics, 250 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: cultural researchers, and when they started publishing their tales in 251 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: eighteen twelve, they were just trying to preserve a lot 252 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: of German oral traditions. The many tales were of broader 253 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: European origin. And what I didn't realize also when I 254 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: started looking into this, is that a lot of the 255 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: stories that were mother Goose tells were actually used pretty 256 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: directly by the Brothers Grim, but the Brothers Grim would 257 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: do a different version of it. So like, for example, 258 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: in the classic fairy tells the mother Goose stories, we 259 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: have story of Cinderella, we have Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, 260 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: we have Little Red riding Hood, we have Puss and Boots. 261 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: And the Brothers Grim also wrote their own versions of 262 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: these types of stories as well. They did their versions 263 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: of those same things of Cinderella of Little Red riding Hood. 264 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: But you know, again there are different is like, in 265 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: one version the story ends with the wolf eating the girl. 266 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: In another version the huntsman saves everybody, and so you 267 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: just don't know exactly how it's going to end. But 268 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: what you find is that, you know, the Brothers Grim, 269 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: they had more of more of a tendency to retell 270 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: those Mother Goose stories with you know, a darker spin. 271 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: I mean, some of the the stories that are unique 272 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: to the Brothers Grim were Rumpelstiltskin, that's a creepy one, 273 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: the musicians of Bremen, the Frog King. So the Brothers Grim, 274 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: they didn't really do nursery rhymes at all. And you know, 275 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: here's one of my favorite Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Let 276 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: me see here. I'll give you some examples of Mother 277 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: Goose nursery rhymes, because I doubt you've ever heard of 278 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: this one, and for some reason I remember it. So 279 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: some of her famous rhymes. Uh, let's see Humpty Dumpty, 280 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle Hickory dickery 281 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: doc by Bob black sheep. Jack and Jill went up 282 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: the hill little bo peep Mary Mary. Quite contrary, twinkled, twinkle, 283 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: little star. But have you heard this one? It's called 284 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: Robin the bobbin, the big belly bin. Robin the bobbin, 285 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: the big bellied bin. He ate more meat than four 286 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: score men. He ate a cow, he ate a calf, 287 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: he ate a butcher and a half, he ate a church, 288 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: he ate a steeple, he ate the priest and all 289 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: the people, a cow and a calf, an ox into 290 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 1: half a church and a steeple, and all the good people. 291 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: And yet he complained that his stomach was not fool 292 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: says four score there. You know what that means. You 293 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: know Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address, he said four 294 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: score and seven years ago. Four score is eighty years, 295 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: So four score and seven years will be eighty seven 296 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: years ago. Well, look, these are things that I believe 297 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: have become an immortal subject matter, at least in terms 298 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: of the human experience. Before we go to this break though, 299 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, going back to the Greek stuff, 300 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: if you can come up with the answer to this 301 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: famous riddle. It's called the riddle of the sphinx? What 302 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, 303 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: and three in the evening. This is a famous one, 304 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: the riddle of the Sphinx. Think about it, What walks 305 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, 306 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: and three in the evening? And Greek mythology. If you 307 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: did not get that right, if you are in big, 308 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: big trouble. I'll explain that and I may even get 309 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: into things that suck. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening 310 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast 311 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: AM Paranormal podcast Network, and I'll be back after these 312 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeart 313 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: Radio and Coast to Coast AM para normal pod cast network. 314 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, and this is the 315 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: show where the unusual becomes usual. Yes, the Riddle of 316 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: the Sphinx. In Greek mythology, this monster called the Sphinx, 317 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: a monster that had a woman's head, a lion's body, 318 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: and eagle's wings, guarded the entrance to a city called Thebes, 319 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: and if you wanted to get in, she would pose 320 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: this riddle to every traveler who wished to pass, and 321 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: those who could not answer correctly were immediately strangled and eaten. 322 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: And that happened to countless people for many, many years. 323 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: But then finally the hero comes along, Oedipus, and I 324 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: know it looks like Otopus, but I think it's Oedipus. 325 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: If only Alex Trebec were still around, he knew how 326 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: to pronounce everything. I'm gonna say, Oedipus. Oedipus was the 327 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: first to solve the riddle, and upon to solve the riddle, 328 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: and upon hearing the correct answer, the sphinx was so 329 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: distraught that she killed herself by throwing herself from a 330 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: cliff or into the sea. As a reward for freeing 331 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: the city, Oedipus was made king of thieves. Well, I 332 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: won't tell you the rest of that story because this 333 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: is a family friendly show, but Oedipus goes on to 334 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: do some things that are highly frowned upon. Here's the 335 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: answer to the riddle, though, what walks on four legs 336 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in 337 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: the evening. The answer is man could just be a 338 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: human being, but basically man, because it represents the three 339 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: stages of a person's life. The morning, which is infancy 340 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: when a baby crawls on all fours, afternoon which is maturity, 341 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 1: when an adult walks upright on two legs, and then 342 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: evening old age when an elderly person uses a cane 343 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: or a walking stick which acts as a third leg. 344 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: So anyway, now you can you can ask your friends 345 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: if they can solve the riddle of the sphinx. See 346 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: how many of them know that one? All right, let's 347 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: what do you say we try out this new segment 348 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: called things that Suck. I don't know if you're gonna 349 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: like this or not, but let me just you know 350 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: I am not again. I try to keep this show positive, 351 00:28:53,480 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: and I am I'm not just trying to be a 352 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: grumpy old man. A lot of people listen to this show, 353 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: and I'm very fortunate, and so sometimes I figure it, 354 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: maybe it's okay for me to give my opinion on 355 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: some things that I believe should change, because there are 356 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: a lot of young people who listen to this show, 357 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: and they they don't think about things the same way 358 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: that some of us folks do who are a little 359 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: bit older. Maybe they need some advice. So I'm trying 360 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: to make the world a slightly better place by just 361 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: airing some complaints. And I promise I'll only do this 362 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: once in a while, so we'll see how you like this. Okay, 363 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: First on my list of things that suck onions on salads. Now, 364 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: I actually like onions, but they don't belong on a salad. 365 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: In my opinion, I'm sick of people putting onions on 366 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: a salad. A lot of people don't even know how 367 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: to make a good sound anymore. In my opinion, I 368 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: don't know if I make a salad as a salad 369 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: bar and they're hard to find. You got your lettuce, 370 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: you got your uh, you got your cheese, you got 371 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: your cucumbers, you got your bacon bits, you got some 372 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: some eggs in there. You know, I'm talking like a 373 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: nice chef salad. Some people, you know, sometimes you order 374 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: a salad, they bring you like a wedge of lettuce 375 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: and with a cherry tomato or something. It's just like, 376 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: that's not what I'm talking about. I mean, like a 377 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: good chef salad hard to find, but they ruin it 378 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: when they put the onions in there. So, in my opinion, 379 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: and maybe it's just because you know I'm a I'm 380 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: an old redneck from western North Carolina. I just think 381 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: that people need to stop putting onions on salads because 382 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't remember that being the case when I was 383 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: growing up. You know what, I'll just throw this in 384 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: here when it comes to a culinary stuff as well. 385 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: I'm talking a lot about food lately, Robin the Bob 386 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: and the Big Bellied Bin. I guess it's because, like 387 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: I say, I'm always I'm always trying to eat healthier 388 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: and lose weight and all that. I was watching sixty 389 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: Minutes one time and they interviewed this guy in Italy 390 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: who is supposed to be like they say that he's 391 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: won more awards than anybody and he's like the top 392 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: chef of the world. And so the reporter, I think 393 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: it was Leslie Stall, asked him, well, what's an example 394 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: of the best thing to eat, like the most delicious thing. 395 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: And he goes, Oh, that's easy. Let me share with 396 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: you the tastiest thing in the world. So he goes 397 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: and he gets one of these little cherry tomatoes and 398 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: I for some reason, I want to say it was green. 399 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure, but he I think 400 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: he sliced it in half. It's been a while since 401 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: I've seen this. And then he takes some fine Italian 402 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: balsamic vinegar and he drizzles that over it, and he says, now, 403 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: taste that, and and she tasted, and he's just sitting 404 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: there with baited breath and he's like, yeah, ye, our rider, 405 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: and she's like, oh yeah, yeah, that's really good. And 406 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: so I he was using some balsamic vinegar that was 407 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: like very expensive. Expect this bottle costs two hundred dollars 408 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: or something. But I was like, fine, I gotta try 409 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: this out. I'm a sucker for a lot of stuff, 410 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: I guess, so I so I buy this expensive balsamic 411 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: vinegar and I pour it on like one of these 412 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: little tomatoes, and I eat it, and let me tell you, 413 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: it is pretty dad gum good. But I've done it 414 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: since then with like the regular stuff you can buy 415 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: at the grocery store. You don't have to spend a 416 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: fortune them. But that I thought that was interesting. I 417 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: would share that tidbit with you. Also, I got to 418 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: meet one of the top chefs here in Las Vegas 419 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: a few years ago. I was actually invited to be 420 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: a guest on one of these like YouTube channels that's 421 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: food and travel. So here, I was sitting in this 422 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: fancy restaurant at this five star hotel, the over a 423 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: high flute hotel, I mean big enough for that's where 424 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: Lady Gaga hangs out and performs and everything. And actually, 425 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: I guess it was like I'll just say it. I 426 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: guess it was Park MGM or something. So anyway, we 427 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: got to sit down on camera and this chef was 428 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: giving me his finest dishes, and everything was exquisite. It 429 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: was all fantastic. But so at some point I chime 430 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: in here and I said to this chef, so let 431 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: me ask you this. If you were stranded on a 432 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: desert island and you could only have, you know, a 433 00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: few items to season your food to perfection, like what 434 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: would it be? What would be the secret ingredients? And 435 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: he just looks at me for a second and he said, oh, 436 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: just salt and pepper. And I have a cabinet with 437 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: about fifty seasonings in it. And I don't know, I 438 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: love seasonings and sauces and I could just I can 439 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: dress up anything with seasonings and sauces. But I guess, 440 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: like he's right, I mean, if you just if you're 441 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: on a desert island, a desert island, and you can 442 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: just have two things, good old fashioned salt and pepper. 443 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: Second thing that sucks is pop ups on websites. If 444 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: you put a pop up on your website, I may 445 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: never visit your site again. Okay, that's pop ups should 446 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: be a thing of the past. So I don't care. 447 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: If I go to a website and I'm about to 448 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: check out your subject matter and boom, there's a pop 449 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: up please subscribe to right, I'm immediately angry, So no 450 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: pop ups any kind. The last thing that I'll include 451 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: here is long YouTube videos. I know, if you're a YouTuber, 452 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: that's the thing to do because you get paid to 453 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: make a long video because you get paid more the 454 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: longer people watch it. So I get it, but it 455 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: sucks in my opinion most of the time. Not all 456 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: the time. Maybe I'm just too busy of a guy. 457 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: But I prefer to go to watch a video if 458 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: I just need some basic information, you know, I prefer 459 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: to watch a video that's, you know, no more than 460 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: a few minutes long. I'm much more attracted to that now. 461 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: Trust me. I'm a guy who has put out some 462 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 1: pretty long videos, so it's almost like do as I say, 463 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 1: not as I do. But I just think it depends 464 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: on the context. But most of the time, if you're 465 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: just sitting around there looking at YouTube content, please keep 466 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: it at ten minutes if you can, no more than ten, 467 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: but three to five is golden. So that's it. That's 468 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: all I have to gripe about for now. You let 469 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: me know if you if you like, Actually, I tell 470 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: you what when it comes to experiences that I've had 471 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: here in Vegas. I don't think that I've brought this 472 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: up on the show before, but I just think it's 473 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: kind of a funny story. And when we come back 474 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: for this break, i'll tell it to you. I was 475 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: standing in line at a drug store here not too 476 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: long ago, and something happened that kind of ticked everybody off. 477 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 1: But it has sort of an unexpected ending. I guess 478 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: I don't know mental man, all right. Also, I believe 479 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: that I may have time to get into some listener emails. 480 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: We'll see what some of your latest thoughts are. And you, 481 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, if you're old enough, do you remember 482 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: these movies that used to starve this this famous dog 483 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: called Ren ten Ten, you know, kind of like he 484 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: wasn't I guess as famous as Lassie necessarily at least 485 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: in terms of today's pop culture. But Ren ten Ten 486 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 1: was a very famous dog movie star. And just recently, Lauren, 487 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: she goes listen to this. I looked up why he 488 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: was called Ren ten ten and it actually has kind 489 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: of a strange supernatural origin. Well, hopefully I can get 490 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,720 Speaker 1: into that as well when we come back. I'm Joshua 491 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: Pee Warren.

And yes, I was recently standing in 497 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: line at the pharmacy at a pharmacy, I don't want 498 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: to use any names, and I was the fifth person 499 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: in line, and the guy at the front of the line, 500 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: he was probably like a sixty year old man wearing 501 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: a ball cap, rob being very patient as usual. And 502 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: then when the person who's actually at the window walks away, 503 00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: there's this old lady, all hunched over with long, stringy hair, 504 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,959 Speaker 1: and she clearly sees that there's a line of five 505 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: people there, and she just walks right up in front 506 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: of the guy and in front of everybody in the line, 507 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: and she walks up to the window and then turns 508 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: around and says thank you. And so the guy who 509 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: is at the front of the line, and we've all 510 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: been waiting for a long time, he turns around and 511 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: looks at us, and we're all like, what the hell, so, 512 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: but you know what you gonna do. So this woman, 513 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: this old lady, she says a few words to the 514 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: pharmacist there at the window, and apparently her prescription wasn't 515 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: ready or something like that. So then she turns around 516 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: to the guy at the front of the line, and 517 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: this old crone says thanks for nothing, and then storms 518 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 1: off like it was his fault somehow. You. I mean, 519 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I see, I'm getting too old. 520 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: I don't understand. Even though she's a lot, she was 521 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: a lot older than me. I don't understand how the 522 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: world works anymore. It reminds me of the time I 523 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: was standing in line and I this guy was talking 524 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: too loud on his cell phone, and he was saying 525 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,399 Speaker 1: to his friend, it wasn't a crime of passion. I've 526 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: known her for twenty years. Yeah you I bet, I 527 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,919 Speaker 1: bet all of you have stories like that. You could 528 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: tell anyway, here's the thing about Lake. Mine didn't know 529 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: about ren ten Ten. The name ren ten ten originates 530 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: from World War One era France. It comes from a 531 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: poppy French good luck charm, small knitted or fabric dolls 532 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: or puppets which French children and sometimes women made and 533 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: gave to Allied soldiers, particularly Americans, as tokens of good 534 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: fortune and protection during the war. And these are lucky figures. 535 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: A lot of times it was a pair of them 536 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 1: known as Nanette and ren ten ten, I believe um. 537 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: But anyway, it was these little you know, these little 538 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: good luck charms were so prominent that in nineteen eighteen, 539 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: this American soldier named Lee Duncan rescued a litter of 540 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: German shepherd puppies from a bombed out kennel in France 541 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,760 Speaker 1: near the end of the war. He kept two pupps 542 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: and named the male ren ten ten and the female Nnette, 543 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: after the symbolic good luck charms, seeing them as emblems 544 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 1: of his own four amid the warst devastation, and that 545 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: original dog became the famous Hollywood star of silent films 546 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: in the nineteen twenties, nicknamed Renti, launching a long legacy 547 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: of ren ten ten dogs in movies. The name itself 548 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: does not appear to have a deeper literal translation, but 549 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: it's an anamatipeia or a playful repetition, possibly evoking the 550 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: sound of a bell ten ten mimicking a chime in 551 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: French like ding ding, which added to its cute, memorable 552 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 1: appeal as a charm name. So I was like, well, 553 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,439 Speaker 1: what do these look like? And they kind of look 554 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: like cute little raggedy voodoo dolls. And again they're usually 555 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 1: solded pears, and uh, I'd never heard of that before, 556 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,439 Speaker 1: but Lauren shared that with me, and so I guess 557 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: I need to get me some ren ten ten good 558 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: luck charm dogs and our dolls and play with them 559 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: and see see what happens. Let me know if you 560 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: have some of those and what your experience has been. 561 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: That's that's cool. Maybe somebody listening in France will send 562 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: me some some rin tin tin and a net good 563 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: luck dolls. All right, let's see if we can squeeze 564 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: in some listener emails. I keep getting so many of 565 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: these emails about the sealth portable handheld tepophone that we 566 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: have right now on uh in my curiosity shop. This 567 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: is a manifestation device that you carry with you in 568 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: your pocket. Uh. Doctor Moulder is still making them, but 569 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,879 Speaker 1: the price is going to go up soon. Here's one 570 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 1: email I got, uh, Hey, Joshua, I'm I don't want 571 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: to use his name, but I think he'd be okay 572 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: with it, but anyway, he says. I got my first 573 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: stealth tepaphone a few days ago and started using it 574 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: for driving and green traffic lights with great results. I 575 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 1: went to a local hiking area overlooking the city at 576 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: night to rehearse a few songs I do with my drum. 577 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: Around ten thirty pm. There was a few people. I 578 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: didn't have the spot to myself, so I held by 579 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 1: device and pressed the button and kindly asked to make 580 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: the others go elsewhere so I could have personal time. 581 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: Oddly enough, a few minutes later they left without a sound. 582 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: I looked and I thought, Wow, that's cool. Lol, I'm 583 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:36,280 Speaker 1: not repelling humans with this mind you. I'm still learning 584 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,799 Speaker 1: this thing and had quite a good time playing my 585 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: drum and singing out loud at night sitting above the 586 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 1: lights of Tempe, Arizona. The insides of this thing are 587 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: well made, and I was wondering if it creates a 588 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: bubble of energy around you or like a radius of 589 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: a certain length. I hope I explained that, right. I 590 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 1: love what you do, man Agiatato Zuome, Well, thank you, 591 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: and you know what, heck, I'm just gonna give his 592 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 1: name's erin Aaron, thank you. And you know, I don't 593 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: know if it creates a bubble or just you know, 594 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,320 Speaker 1: I kind of envisioned it as just sort of shooting 595 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: out a beam of light that sends ripples around it 596 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: because it does have an infrared light. Uh, but I 597 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 1: don't know exactly. There may be ways to experiment with 598 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: it though and find out. I know some people who've 599 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 1: been having a heck of a lot of success drawing 600 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 1: down UFOs with it. Well, but a lot of people 601 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: just use it for the simplest daily stuff. Here is 602 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: another email that I got, and it says tepaphone pizza 603 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 1: test was a success, and the guy sent this to me, 604 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: says the past two days, I ordered pizza from and 605 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: he gave me the name of the restaurant, but I 606 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: won't bring it. I ordered pizza from this place where 607 00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 1: pizza is never consistent. I did it once at eight 608 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: pm yesterday and then at eleven thirty this morning. Best 609 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:10,359 Speaker 1: pizzas I've ever had from this place. I held that 610 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: button down during the entire order. I ate the whole 611 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: pizza last night, and now it wasn't just how it looked, 612 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 1: how it tasted even more. I'll be doing this for 613 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: the next five days, at different times a day, so 614 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,399 Speaker 1: I never have the same person making the same pizza. 615 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,719 Speaker 1: If it's already worked in, it's already worked I'm in 616 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: for a great week of pizza. I think ordering pizza 617 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 1: is a good test because I'm not in control of 618 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: anything but the order and time of order. I'll try 619 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: it with a crappier place or some restaurant that's not 620 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 1: always good. Normally, whenever I order a pizza, there's maybe 621 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 1: two slices that look edible. Not in the past two days. 622 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 1: I attached a photo, and sure enough I have a 623 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: photo of the pizza, and I'm familiar with the guy 624 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,240 Speaker 1: who routes this And when I say he is picky 625 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 1: about his pizza, that is no overstatement. Yeah, overstatement or understatement, 626 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. It's just it's one of those things. 627 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 1: It's true anyway. Thank you for that message, you know. 628 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 1: That's the thing. It's like, I don't know, it's you 629 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: put it in your pocket and you can use it 630 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: for whatever you want. And so I'm going to try 631 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,479 Speaker 1: that the next time I order a pizza as well. 632 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: Thank you for sending me these emails though, Guys, it 633 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: really means a lot to me to get these reports 634 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: coming in. And you know, like I say, if you 635 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 1: go to the Curiosity Shop, you don't have to buy anything. 636 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,280 Speaker 1: Just take a look and maybe you'll get some ideas. 637 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: There are things that you can also just make for yourself. 638 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 1: There are things you can do for free.
