Now let's find out who was 98 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: Thomas Edison with four fast facts cospects. Thomas Alva Edison 99 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: was born in eighteen forty seven and died In nineteen 100 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: thirty one, he invented the light bulb, the phonograph, and 101 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: even an electric pen. He received one thousand and ninety 102 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: three patents. In three he started America's first movie studio. 103 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: He was a successful businessman since childhood, when he worked 104 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: on a train selling his own newspaper, Fospects. Now, Eva 105 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: and Natalie were curious, have you ever invented anything? Um? Eva? 106 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: What about you? If you invented anything ever in your life? No? 107 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: Not really, not really? Okay, alright, you're young yet if 108 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: you there could still be an inventor's time now, uh 109 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: that Natalie, You're you've already got a lot on your 110 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: hands being part of the governing council of an entire school. 111 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: But have you found the time to create any inventions? 112 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Now, if you were going to 113 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 1: invent something, what would it be? Probably something that would 114 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: make it so I could read books faster but still 115 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: be able to enjoy them. Interesting. Okay, that's good, um Elliott. 116 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: If you could invent something, what would it be? I 117 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: think I would invent probably like a robot bird. Okay, 118 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: would it be able to fly? No? Pet birds are 119 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: very messy and they're hard to contain, so and I 120 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: don't want to keep it in a cage. So I 121 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: just maybe be like a robot ostrich, but they just 122 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: kind of walk around, maybe sit down, you know, be 123 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: great pet, but easy to take care of, easy to 124 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: take care of, all right, very good? And even what 125 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: about you would you what if you could invent something? 126 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: What would you invent? I already said robot bird, So 127 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: you can't do that, okay, Um, I would probably make 128 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: I'm probably invent like a self in a car. And 129 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: like I know there's like kind of self driving cars, 130 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: but a car where you don't have to do anything. 131 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: What if you have invented car you don't even have 132 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: to get into for to drive you someplace. You just 133 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: stay at home, you send the car somewhere, suddenly you're there. Yeah, 134 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: there's so much time and uh and be what would 135 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: you invent? You know, I was trying to think about that. 136 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,559 Speaker 1: You know what I would actually invent. I would invent 137 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: something where every time you um boil an egg, like 138 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: a six minute egg, that it would get the shell 139 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: off perfectly and you wouldn't end up with like divots 140 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: and um little pieces of shell when you eat and 141 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: egg because I have an egg almost every day, and 142 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: it's so it's such a struggle to get the shell 143 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: off without ruining the outside of the egg. It's a 144 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: real struggle for me. So that's hard, and it's every day. 145 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: And you know what invention would really help you with that? 146 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: What a robot bird. That's true every time. It's designed. 147 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: The perfect egg every time, the perfect robot egg every time. 148 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: Thank you of both. Those were fantastic answers. I think 149 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: you know it's time to move on to our first game. 150 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:13,479 Speaker 1: It's called Backpack from the Past, Back from the Best. 151 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: For this game, I found Thomas Edison's original backpack. Hey, 152 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: how did you get my backpack? I'll sue you for that. Edison. 153 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: We thought you wanted to be on this show. I 154 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: knew I should have invented some kind of backpack theft arm. Anyway, 155 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: you will take things out of this backpack and describe 156 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: them to you. Then you'll choose the answer that best 157 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: explains what it had to do with Thomas Edison's life. Okay, Natalie, 158 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: this first item is for you. M It's a cup 159 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: of some sort of mashed up gunk. These are worms. 160 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: I know the smell of mashed up worms anywhere. Don't 161 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: ask me why anyway. Why would Thomas Edison have all 162 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: this gross stuck? Was it because a as a boy, 163 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: he became ill with the mysterious sickness that could only 164 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: be cured by mixing worms or be As a boy, 165 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: he once gave a cup of mashed worms to a 166 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: girl in the hope that it would make her fly. 167 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it is b You are pretty sure, 168 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: because you're right. The answer is the Even as a 169 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: young child, Thomas Edison was curious about the world. After 170 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: watching a bird eat a worm and then fly away, 171 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: he decided to test whether worms were the secret to flight. 172 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: So he mashed up some worms and gave them to 173 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: a neighbor girl to drink to see if she would 174 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: gain the ability to fly too. But it only made 175 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: her sick and Edison gotten a lot of trouble. Luckily 176 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: he didn't let that stop his love of science, or 177 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: we'd be recording this show in the dark. The next 178 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: item is for Eva. Oh weird. It's like a huge 179 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: collection of stuff, bamboo, spider webs, tissue, paper, even human hair. 180 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: There's like three thousand of these things. Why would Thomas 181 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: Edison have all this junk in his attack. Is it 182 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: because A He and his workers tested over three thousand 183 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: different materials to find the right filament for a lightbulb 184 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: or b. Edison was afraid of throwing anything out, even 185 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: human hair, because he might need it later. I think 186 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: that was a You're right. The answer is a lightholds 187 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: need of the filament literally the part of the bulb, 188 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: but electricity heats up, causing it to glow, and Edison 189 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: wanted a filament that would last a long time. He 190 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: and his employees tested over three thousand types of material 191 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: until they found the right one sewing thread baked in carbon. 192 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I probably would have 193 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: quit after the first two thousand materials. That's why I'm 194 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: Thomas Edison and you're just some schmore reading questions to children. Hey, 195 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: not fair. He is the schmow reading the questions. Yeah, 196 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: thanks for sticking up for me, Elliott. And our next 197 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: question is for Natalie Gross. It's a dirty tissue. This 198 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: is the worst backpack from the past we've ever opened. 199 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: Why did Thomas Edison have a boogery tissue in his backpack? 200 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: Was it because A one of the early movies he 201 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: produced was called the Sneeze, or because B. Edison experimented 202 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: with the superglue made out of mucus. The answer is A. 203 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: That's right. The answer is A. Shortly after inventing an 204 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: early movie viewing machine called a kinetoscope, he decided to 205 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: open a movie studio so people would have something to 206 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: watch on their kinetoscopes. Edison movies were very short, and 207 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: one of the earliest was called The Sneeze because it 208 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: was just a movie of one of his workers sneezing. 209 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like much, but it's not like unboxing 210 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: videos are so amazing either. And the last item of 211 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: the round goes to EVA. It's a bunch of clock springs. 212 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: Does Thomas Edison have these in his backpack? Because A. 213 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: Edison spent his later years trying to invent springy shoes 214 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: so he could finally fly. Or B he took the 215 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: springs out of his factories clocks so his work first 216 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't know how much time they were working. I'm pretty fair. 217 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: That's that's right. The answer is be Edison life working 218 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: long hours without going home for a rest, and he 219 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: expected as workers to do exactly the same, so he 220 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: took the springs out of the factory clocks so that 221 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: the workers couldn't keep track of how many hours they've 222 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: spent testing filaments or sneezing or whatever. Not cool Edison. 223 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: Hey Elliott, you don't let me know how many hours 224 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: I've been working either. I tried to be. You just 225 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: can't tell time. Well, sure I can, I just don't 226 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: know what to tell it. Give camera adorable look. Oh boy, 227 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: and that's the end of Backpack from the Past. From 228 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: the past, by right round everybody. You kids certainly know 229 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: a lot about me, which is not a surprise. Unfascinating. 230 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: How I sneeze our way over to producer Jane for 231 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: the scores. Oh well, he didn't be. Everybody's getting everything right. 232 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: We're all tied up with two points each. Yes, thank you, Jane. 233 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: You know I could replace Jane with a score keeping machine. 234 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: It would be very easy to invent. You just have 235 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: to oil it three times an episode. No, let's keep Jane. 236 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: She really needs oiling once an episode. And on that 237 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: confusing note, we're off to a short break. We'll be 238 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: right back with our next game, so don't go anywhere. Eric, 239 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: Please play us some Fashtepans music. Please, m. Pure. Welcome 240 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: back to the Who Was Podcast. Today we're learning all 241 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: about who was Thomas Edison and who is Temple Granded 242 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: And now back to your host, Elliott Klin. Thank you be. 243 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: Our scores are currently Natalie with two points and Eva 244 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: with two points. That's right, it's all tied up. These 245 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: are fused competitors, so let's get right to it by 246 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: finding out more about who is Temple Grandin with four 247 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: fast facts. Temple Grandon was born in nine and is 248 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: still alive today. Temple Grandon was born with autism, making 249 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: her sensitive to loud noises and unfamiliar situations. She created 250 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: a new field of science, the study of how farmers 251 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: affect the feelings of farm animals. She invented better farm 252 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: equipment that keeps cow's calmer and happier. Fools. Now, let's 253 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: calmly and happily move on to our next game. It's 254 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: something we call true or false. True or false? Is 255 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: a true false? Is it false? Or is a true? 256 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: Is a true that it is false? It was true 257 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: or true? True or false. In this game, be will 258 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: read a statement about Temple Grandon, and you'll tell her 259 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: whether that statement is true or false, not true in 260 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: other words of false. And since this is our second game, 261 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: each question is worth two points, even your first true 262 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: or false. Temple Grandon's first inventions traps and franks. True. Yes, 263 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: the answer is true. As a kid, Temple's first inventions 264 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: were all solid goutchas. She raked up a web of 265 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: strings to drop on anyone who walked into a room 266 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: without her remission. And when she was bullied at school, 267 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: she made it so that when the bully opened their desk, 268 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: the window blinds crashed down right next to them. Luckily, 269 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: she always used her trap and prank abilities for good 270 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: and not for evil. And the next question is for Natalie. 271 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: As a child, Temple's autism made it difficult for her 272 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: to understand people's facial expression, but easier for her to 273 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: understand the emotions of horses. Is that true or false? 274 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: It is true. That is also true. Yes. Some people 275 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: with autism life, Temple had trouble reading the facial expressions 276 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: of others. Temple was fifty years old, that's right, five 277 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: zero before she learned what it means when someone rules 278 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: their eyes. This made it hard for her to make friends. 279 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: But another aspect of her autism is that it helps 280 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: her notice small details of things. She noticed the ways 281 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: horses reacted when they were nervous, and she used that 282 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: to team horses other people had trouble riding, and of course, 283 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: reading the emotional signals of cows would become her life's work. Okay, Ava, 284 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: this next statement is for you, tue or false. Ava. 285 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: Temple was inspired by a machine for calming down walruses 286 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: to invent a human calming machine she called the squish machine. 287 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: That is false, Yes, that is false. Temple was inspired 288 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: by a machine for calming cows to invent what she 289 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: called the squeezes machine. When she was fifteen, Temple began 290 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: having panic attacks when she noticed how putting cows in 291 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: the tight space calmed them down. So she tried it 292 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: on herself and created a machine that squeezed her gently 293 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 1: until she stopped feeling overwhelmed. Now known as a hug machine, 294 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: people all over the world use it to be a 295 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: safer and more relaxed and Natalie, the final statement of 296 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: the round goes to you true or false. When she 297 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: was asked to find a way to help cows who 298 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: were infested with itchy bugs called gabies, she looked at 299 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: the prob lum from the scabies point of view, false, Yes, 300 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: you're right, that is bals. She looked at the problem 301 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: from the cow's point of view. It turns out the 302 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: only way to get scabies off of cows is to 303 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: dip the cow's body in bug using. Sometimes the cows 304 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: would panic and drown while being dipped. Temple observed the 305 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: situation from the point of view of the cows and 306 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: realized it was scary for a cow to walk down 307 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: a slippery ramp into a deep pool of poison. So 308 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: she redesigned the ramps to make him less slippery and 309 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: hid how deep the pool was. The cows felt safer 310 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: and dipping them became much easier. Now only Temple would 311 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: invent something to make it easier to give be her 312 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: scabies medicine. Nope, you're just gonna have to keep hiding 313 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: my pills in ice cream. And that's the end of 314 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: the game. True, True, True Horror Falls another great game. Everybody. Now, 315 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: let's walk down a ramp to producer Jane, who's currently 316 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: in a deep pool of the scores. Jane, that's right, O, 317 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: yet I'm drowning in sixes. We have a tie game 318 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: with six points each. Be careful, be safe in that 319 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: pool of six goos. Thank you very much, Jane. This 320 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: tie game continues to be exactly that, a tie game. 321 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: Before we go to our next round, I'm very excited 322 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: to announce we have a very special guests with us. 323 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: That's right, we're joined live in the studio by Temple 324 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: Grandin's favorite cow, Butter Scotch. Butter Scotch, thank you so 325 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: much for being with us today.

I bet that was a lunch The President 332 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: isn't likely to forget. Now my next question, stop stops, 333 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: shut it down. You cannot be serious. Excuse me, Thomas Edison. 334 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: We were in the middle of interviewing an extremely delightful cow. Yeah, 335 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: what's your problem? Alva if that is your real middle name, Yes, 336 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: Alva is my real middle name. Like if you started 337 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: saying Alvin and then forgot how it ends. And my 338 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: problem is that you have met America's greatest event genius 339 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: on your show, and yet you're wasting time with a cow. 340 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: Don't worry about the Scotch. Mr Edison does not represent 341 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: the views of the Who Was Podcast, which is very 342 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: pro spending time with cows. Come on, you've got the 343 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: Wizard of menlo Park here, the first person in history 344 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: ever to record their voice and put it back. Wow. Really, 345 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: what did you say in the recording? Mm hmm, Mary 346 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: had a little lamb. Its fleece was whitest snow. Oh, 347 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: I get it. So we can't talk about cows, but 348 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: you can flap your gums about lambs all day. Look, 349 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: Mr Edison, you're a very important person, but this episode 350 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: isn't just about you. It's also about Temple Brandon, and 351 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: it's also about having fun. Boh, fun. You don't sell 352 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: light bulbs by having fun. It takes work and long 353 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: hours and never seeing your family and sleeping on an 354 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: uncomfortable work bench in your clothes.

Revoir or shoul Let's Day Abio. We're 378 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: back on the Whoas podcast. When we last left off, 379 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: Natalie had six points and Eva at six points. It's 380 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: a tie, and now back to your host, Ellie Calin, 381 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: thank you be Before Thomas Edison can jump in and 382 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: yell at us again, let's get to our last game, 383 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: Converge of Greatness. In this game, we will ask you 384 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: multiple choice questions about the places where Temple Brandon and 385 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: Thomas Edison connect, overlap, or converge metaphorically, they don't actually 386 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: connect in real life physically. And because we're in the 387 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: third round, each question sin is worth three points. Ready, 388 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: the first queston goes to Natalie be take it away. 389 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: Temple Grandin was expelled from school because her teachers didn't 390 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: know how to recognize her autism and just thought she 391 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: was disruptive. Thomas Edison also left school early because a 392 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: teacher didn't understand his needs. Was it because A He 393 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: couldn't hear at the teacher because he'd lost some of 394 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: his hearing to scarlet fever. B He never bought his 395 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: textbooks to class because they were on a shelf too 396 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: high for him to reach or see. He was allergic 397 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: to peanuts, and they made him sit right next to 398 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: George Washington Carver. A. That's right. The answer is a 399 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: young Thomas loved learning. He had trouble paying attention in 400 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: school and it didn't help, and he'd lost someone's hearing 401 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: to illness. When he was eight, his teacher called him 402 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: quote adult, and Thomas's mother was so insulted she decided 403 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: to teach him herself. He raced through science textbooks, but 404 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: he didn't stay at home school for long. For the 405 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: time he was twelve, he was already working on the 406 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: railroad all to live long day. And the next question 407 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: is for Avon Thomas Edison would stay in his laboratory, 408 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: working for days at a time, sleeping on a bench 409 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: without changing his clothes. Temple Grandon also had some questionable 410 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: grooming habits as a young adult. Did her boss need 411 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: to tell her to a stop flipping her fingernails during meetings, 412 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: be dust her hair regularly, or see start wearing deodorant? Uh? 413 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: See yes, it's see. Temple had trouble recognizing how her 414 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: actions effective the people around him. At her first job, 415 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: she impressed people with her amazing work, but one day 416 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: her boss put a can of deodorant on her desk. 417 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: Temple was embarrassed, but she got the message never forget kids. 418 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: Sometimes the truth can be embarrassing, but it's better not 419 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: to ignore it. And also never forget grown ups are stinking. 420 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: The next question is for Natalie Temple. Grandon designed feed 421 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: lots and farm equipment that helped calm cows down, something 422 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 1: cal ranchers didn't even know they needed. How it Thomas 423 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: Edison feel about new ideas for inventions. A he wanted 424 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: to create totally new things people didn't even know they needed. 425 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: B he only wanted to invent things people already wanted. 426 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: Or see, he didn't want to invent things, but had 427 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: been cursed by a witch to be haunted by ideas 428 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: or inventions forever. As fun as she sounds, I think 429 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: it's you made the right choice. That's the responsible uh 430 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: student Council's word member decision, and I appreciate it. The 431 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: answer is B. Thomas Edison's first invention was an electronic 432 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: voting machine. There was only one problem. Nobody wanted to 433 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: use it, so Edison decided he would only make inventions 434 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: that he was sure people already wanted. As a result, 435 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: a lot of his work was in making better versions 436 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: of things that already existed, rather than coming up with 437 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: incredibly original ideas like temples. And the last question is 438 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: for Eva. Thomas Edison was a famous public figure who 439 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: often gave interviews about his inventions. Temple grand and also 440 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: became a public speaker. But instead of talking about her inventions, 441 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: she talks about a how to live more like a cow, 442 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: be the importance of deodorant, or see how the world 443 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: needs many kinds of minds. I think that is C. 444 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: You're right, the answer is C. After writing her autobiography, 445 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: Temple became famous. Since then, she's given lectures to thousands 446 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: of people, who speaks about the need to recognize all 447 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: the different ways people think and experience the world. She 448 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: advises kids with autism to follow their strengths rather than 449 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: be seen in only for their struggles. Meanwhile, most of 450 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: Thomas Edison's public speaking was about how great Thomas Edison 451 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: is and what's wrong with that? I am great? What 452 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: are you still doing here? And that's converge of greatness 453 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: right round everybody. It's almost time for the big moment. 454 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: But before we converge on the greatness of producer Jane 455 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: to find out our winner. I had a final question 456 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: for our contest, sus this one for no points at all. 457 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: What was something that surprised you to learn about either 458 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: Thomas Edison were temple granted Natalie, did anything really surprise 459 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: you about either one of them? Before I read the book, 460 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: I had no idea that Thomas Edison was hard of hearing. Yeah, 461 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: a lot of people, um did not know that. Uh, 462 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: it's not something that's so widely talked about when people 463 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: discussed Thomas Edison. But yeah, that's true. And by the 464 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: end of his life he could barely hear anything at all. 465 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: I think in the book, don't they talked about him 466 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: having to put his head up next to a piano 467 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: to hear the vibrations of the music, which is a 468 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: real dedication to piano music. Let me tell you, when 469 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: you're willing to just lay your head on top of it, well, 470 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: let's blame Yeah, they don't. They don't look kindly on that. 471 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: For guitar though, as I found out, if you try 472 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: to lay your head on the strings, they're like, get 473 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: out of here. Yeah, they threw you right out of 474 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: that concert, And I I feel bad. I feel bad 475 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: that I was telling them throw her out, throw her out. 476 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have done that best. Yeah, I just love 477 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: blue grass. What can this thing? And Eva? Is there 478 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: anything that surprised you about either of our history figures? Um? 479 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: Something that surprised me about Thomas Edison was that he 480 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: was called the Wizard of Menlo Park. That's right. He 481 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: was so famous that he was called that. People thought 482 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: of him as a wizard for the amazing scientific inventions 483 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: he had. And of course he was in Menlo Park, 484 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: New Jersey. Uh. I'm always trying to figure out, as 485 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: someone who grew up in New Jersey, were there any 486 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: other wizards in Menlo Park? Because if there were, maybe 487 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: there they can teach me their secret magic. Well, isn't m. 488 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen the Wizard of Atlantic City?
