Can't be the 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.280 subject of the show and a contestant, you know, that's 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.040 small minded? Small minded people already telling geniuses they can't 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.760 do things the Can you introduce our real contestants? Alright, 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:59.000 first up, we have Natalie Natalie. Please introduce yourself. Hello. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.200 I am Natal Natalie. Do you have a fun fact 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.040 you'd like to share with our listening audience. I am 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.920 on an executive board with a couple of other students 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.800 in eighth grade. Oh wow? And um, do you do 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:17.479 official things like you take notes at your meetings? Um? 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.360 Stuff like that. Yes, we do generally have to take notes, 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.000 and the executive board is usually heads of separate committees 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.400 that we have. And what committee are you the head of? 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.280 I am on the food Drive Committee, the Book Drive committee, 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.279 and a be the Good Committee. That's amazing. That sounds 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.080 like such a huge amount of responsibility. I'm really impressed. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.480 When I was your age, I think I was mostly 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.200 responsible for not losing the television remote and not getting 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:47.240 too much popcorn on the couch when I was watching television. 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.560 That was about right, And you failed at both of 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.640 those things, if I if I'm remembering that it was 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.240 not a responsibility that I upheld. Yeah, it was. I 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.800 was found to be wanting in the in maintaining that responsibility, 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.680 but I tried my best. I certainly tried. But right, 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.480 thank you so much for joining us badly. And Iva, 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:10.039 would you please introduce yourself?

It's 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.640 just regular round cookie. Tans cookie would be nice, but 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.840 I usually make just round one. Okay, okay. Thanks to 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.040 both of our contestants for being here, and thank you 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.680 to Eric, our musician, for providing that lovely meet the 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.200 contestants music and all the music on the show today. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.600 So that's who is. Now let's find out who was 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:10.120 Thomas Edison with four fast facts cospects. Thomas Alva Edison 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.280 was born in eighteen forty seven and died In nineteen 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.520 thirty one, he invented the light bulb, the phonograph, and 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.400 even an electric pen. He received one thousand and ninety 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:26.200 three patents. In three he started America's first movie studio. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.640 He was a successful businessman since childhood, when he worked 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:38.640 on a train selling his own newspaper, Fospects. Now, Eva 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:43.839 and Natalie were curious, have you ever invented anything? Um? Eva? 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:48.000 What about you? If you invented anything ever in your life? No? 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.080 Not really, not really? Okay, alright, you're young yet if 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.400 you there could still be an inventor's time now, uh 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.840 that Natalie, You're you've already got a lot on your 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.080 hands being part of the governing council of an entire school. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.560 But have you found the time to create any inventions? 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.280 I don't think so. Now, if you were going to 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.559 invent something, what would it be? Probably something that would 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.840 make it so I could read books faster but still 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:20.400 be able to enjoy them. Interesting. Okay, that's good, um Elliott. 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.080 If you could invent something, what would it be? I 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:31.120 think I would invent probably like a robot bird. Okay, 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.400 would it be able to fly? No? Pet birds are 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.280 very messy and they're hard to contain, so and I 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.680 don't want to keep it in a cage. So I 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.920 just maybe be like a robot ostrich, but they just 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.320 kind of walk around, maybe sit down, you know, be 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.120 great pet, but easy to take care of, easy to 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.640 take care of, all right, very good? And even what 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.440 about you would you what if you could invent something? 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.600 What would you invent? I already said robot bird, So 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.200 you can't do that, okay, Um, I would probably make 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.480 I'm probably invent like a self in a car. And 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.760 like I know there's like kind of self driving cars, 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.040 but a car where you don't have to do anything. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:06.600 What if you have invented car you don't even have 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:11.640 to get into for to drive you someplace. You just 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.040 stay at home, you send the car somewhere, suddenly you're there. Yeah, 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.520 there's so much time and uh and be what would 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.840 you invent? You know, I was trying to think about that. 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.559 You know what I would actually invent. I would invent 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.520 something where every time you um boil an egg, like 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.600 a six minute egg, that it would get the shell 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.440 off perfectly and you wouldn't end up with like divots 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.400 and um little pieces of shell when you eat and 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.000 egg because I have an egg almost every day, and 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.160 it's so it's such a struggle to get the shell 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.440 off without ruining the outside of the egg. It's a 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.040 real struggle for me. So that's hard, and it's every day. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:52.520 And you know what invention would really help you with that? 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.439 What a robot bird. That's true every time. It's designed. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.680 The perfect egg every time, the perfect robot egg every time. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.679 Thank you of both. Those were fantastic answers. I think 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.720 you know it's time to move on to our first game. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:13.479 It's called Backpack from the Past, Back from the Best. 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:20.439 For this game, I found Thomas Edison's original backpack. Hey, 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.480 how did you get my backpack? I'll sue you for that. Edison. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.559 We thought you wanted to be on this show. I 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:34.000 knew I should have invented some kind of backpack theft arm. Anyway, 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.600 you will take things out of this backpack and describe 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.720 them to you. Then you'll choose the answer that best 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.079 explains what it had to do with Thomas Edison's life. Okay, Natalie, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.080 this first item is for you. M It's a cup 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.480 of some sort of mashed up gunk. These are worms. 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.720 I know the smell of mashed up worms anywhere. Don't 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.160 ask me why anyway. Why would Thomas Edison have all 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.360 this gross stuck? Was it because a as a boy, 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.160 he became ill with the mysterious sickness that could only 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:07.319 be cured by mixing worms or be As a boy, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.080 he once gave a cup of mashed worms to a 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.200 girl in the hope that it would make her fly. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.160 I'm pretty sure it is b You are pretty sure, 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.800 because you're right. The answer is the Even as a 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.920 young child, Thomas Edison was curious about the world. After 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.400 watching a bird eat a worm and then fly away, 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.480 he decided to test whether worms were the secret to flight. 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.839 So he mashed up some worms and gave them to 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.720 a neighbor girl to drink to see if she would 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.360 gain the ability to fly too. But it only made 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.760 her sick and Edison gotten a lot of trouble. Luckily 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.959 he didn't let that stop his love of science, or 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.600 we'd be recording this show in the dark. The next 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:47.680 item is for Eva. Oh weird. It's like a huge 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:53.240 collection of stuff, bamboo, spider webs, tissue, paper, even human hair. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.920 There's like three thousand of these things. Why would Thomas 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.840 Edison have all this junk in his attack. Is it 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.040 because A He and his workers tested over three thousand 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.040 different materials to find the right filament for a lightbulb 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.640 or b. Edison was afraid of throwing anything out, even 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.520 human hair, because he might need it later. I think 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.439 that was a You're right. The answer is a lightholds 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.800 need of the filament literally the part of the bulb, 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.800 but electricity heats up, causing it to glow, and Edison 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.960 wanted a filament that would last a long time. He 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.760 and his employees tested over three thousand types of material 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.280 until they found the right one sewing thread baked in carbon. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.520 I don't know about you, but I probably would have 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.719 quit after the first two thousand materials. That's why I'm 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:43.600 Thomas Edison and you're just some schmore reading questions to children. Hey, 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.480 not fair. He is the schmow reading the questions. Yeah, 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.320 thanks for sticking up for me, Elliott. And our next 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:55.800 question is for Natalie Gross. It's a dirty tissue. This 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.000 is the worst backpack from the past we've ever opened. 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.440 Why did Thomas Edison have a boogery tissue in his backpack? 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.280 Was it because A one of the early movies he 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:12.240 produced was called the Sneeze, or because B. Edison experimented 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:17.320 with the superglue made out of mucus. The answer is A. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.240 That's right. The answer is A. Shortly after inventing an 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.400 early movie viewing machine called a kinetoscope, he decided to 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.760 open a movie studio so people would have something to 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.000 watch on their kinetoscopes. Edison movies were very short, and 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.520 one of the earliest was called The Sneeze because it 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.520 was just a movie of one of his workers sneezing. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.280 It doesn't sound like much, but it's not like unboxing 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.000 videos are so amazing either. And the last item of 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:46.720 the round goes to EVA. It's a bunch of clock springs. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.920 Does Thomas Edison have these in his backpack? Because A. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.720 Edison spent his later years trying to invent springy shoes 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.200 so he could finally fly. Or B he took the 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.319 springs out of his factories clocks so his work first 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.760 wouldn't know how much time they were working. I'm pretty fair. 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.600 That's that's right. The answer is be Edison life working 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.640 long hours without going home for a rest, and he 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.240 expected as workers to do exactly the same, so he 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.920 took the springs out of the factory clocks so that 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.200 the workers couldn't keep track of how many hours they've 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.960 spent testing filaments or sneezing or whatever. Not cool Edison. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.360 Hey Elliott, you don't let me know how many hours 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.840 I've been working either. I tried to be. You just 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.920 can't tell time. Well, sure I can, I just don't 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:34.000 know what to tell it. Give camera adorable look. Oh boy, 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:38.920 and that's the end of Backpack from the Past. From 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:44.080 the past, by right round everybody. You kids certainly know 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.760 a lot about me, which is not a surprise. Unfascinating. 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.960 How I sneeze our way over to producer Jane for 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:56.480 the scores. Oh well, he didn't be. Everybody's getting everything right. 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:02.160 We're all tied up with two points each. Yes, thank you, Jane. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.640 You know I could replace Jane with a score keeping machine. 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.720 It would be very easy to invent. You just have 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.120 to oil it three times an episode. No, let's keep Jane. 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.000 She really needs oiling once an episode. And on that 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.680 confusing note, we're off to a short break. We'll be 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.840 right back with our next game, so don't go anywhere. Eric, 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:34.760 Please play us some Fashtepans music. Please, m. Pure. Welcome 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.560 back to the Who Was Podcast. Today we're learning all 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.040 about who was Thomas Edison and who is Temple Granded 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:45.120 And now back to your host, Elliott Klin. Thank you be. 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.520 Our scores are currently Natalie with two points and Eva 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.720 with two points. That's right, it's all tied up. These 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.840 are fused competitors, so let's get right to it by 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.320 finding out more about who is Temple Grandin with four 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:04.560 fast facts. Temple Grandon was born in nine and is 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.960 still alive today. Temple Grandon was born with autism, making 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:12.520 her sensitive to loud noises and unfamiliar situations. She created 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.440 a new field of science, the study of how farmers 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:19.120 affect the feelings of farm animals. She invented better farm 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:25.880 equipment that keeps cow's calmer and happier. Fools. Now, let's 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.160 calmly and happily move on to our next game. It's 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:32.320 something we call true or false. True or false? Is 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.040 a true false? Is it false? Or is a true? 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.000 Is a true that it is false? It was true 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:42.960 or true? True or false. In this game, be will 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.280 read a statement about Temple Grandon, and you'll tell her 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.440 whether that statement is true or false, not true in 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.000 other words of false. And since this is our second game, 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.680 each question is worth two points, even your first true 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:04.240 or false. Temple Grandon's first inventions traps and franks. True. Yes, 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.040 the answer is true. As a kid, Temple's first inventions 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.480 were all solid goutchas. She raked up a web of 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.480 strings to drop on anyone who walked into a room 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.800 without her remission. And when she was bullied at school, 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.200 she made it so that when the bully opened their desk, 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.200 the window blinds crashed down right next to them. Luckily, 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.880 she always used her trap and prank abilities for good 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.840 and not for evil. And the next question is for Natalie. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.040 As a child, Temple's autism made it difficult for her 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:33.160 to understand people's facial expression, but easier for her to 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:37.520 understand the emotions of horses. Is that true or false? 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.360 It is true. That is also true. Yes. Some people 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.440 with autism life, Temple had trouble reading the facial expressions 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.240 of others. Temple was fifty years old, that's right, five 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.720 zero before she learned what it means when someone rules 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.240 their eyes. This made it hard for her to make friends. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.560 But another aspect of her autism is that it helps 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.720 her notice small details of things. She noticed the ways 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.560 horses reacted when they were nervous, and she used that 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.800 to team horses other people had trouble riding, and of course, 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:08.439 reading the emotional signals of cows would become her life's work. Okay, Ava, 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.360 this next statement is for you, tue or false. Ava. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.360 Temple was inspired by a machine for calming down walruses 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:21.160 to invent a human calming machine she called the squish machine. 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.600 That is false, Yes, that is false. Temple was inspired 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.560 by a machine for calming cows to invent what she 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:32.240 called the squeezes machine. When she was fifteen, Temple began 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.080 having panic attacks when she noticed how putting cows in 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.720 the tight space calmed them down. So she tried it 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.240 on herself and created a machine that squeezed her gently 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.719 until she stopped feeling overwhelmed. Now known as a hug machine, 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:45.639 people all over the world use it to be a 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.840 safer and more relaxed and Natalie, the final statement of 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:53.400 the round goes to you true or false. When she 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.520 was asked to find a way to help cows who 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:59.520 were infested with itchy bugs called gabies, she looked at 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:04.120 the prob lum from the scabies point of view, false, Yes, 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.399 you're right, that is bals. She looked at the problem 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.159 from the cow's point of view. It turns out the 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.480 only way to get scabies off of cows is to 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.720 dip the cow's body in bug using. Sometimes the cows 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.679 would panic and drown while being dipped. Temple observed the 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.320 situation from the point of view of the cows and 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.520 realized it was scary for a cow to walk down 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.240 a slippery ramp into a deep pool of poison. So 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.679 she redesigned the ramps to make him less slippery and 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.520 hid how deep the pool was. The cows felt safer 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.880 and dipping them became much easier. Now only Temple would 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:35.679 invent something to make it easier to give be her 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.240 scabies medicine. Nope, you're just gonna have to keep hiding 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.439 my pills in ice cream. And that's the end of 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:48.760 the game. True, True, True Horror Falls another great game. Everybody. Now, 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.720 let's walk down a ramp to producer Jane, who's currently 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:55.080 in a deep pool of the scores. Jane, that's right, O, 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.480 yet I'm drowning in sixes. We have a tie game 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.760 with six points each. Be careful, be safe in that 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:06.320 pool of six goos. Thank you very much, Jane. This 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.680 tie game continues to be exactly that, a tie game. 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.159 Before we go to our next round, I'm very excited 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.800 to announce we have a very special guests with us. 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.200 That's right, we're joined live in the studio by Temple 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:23.520 Grandin's favorite cow, Butter Scotch. Butter Scotch, thank you so 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:28.600 much for being with us today. Wow, your favorite podcast. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:34.600 That's an honor coming from such an illustrious cow. Okay, okay, 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.199 enough flattery, Butter Scotch. We're not here to talk about us. 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.520 We're here to talk about you and you're years of 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.480 work with Temple grand Tell us, how did you first 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:50.280 meet Temple Uh huh, No, way at the same restaurant. 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.840 That's hilarious. I bet that was a lunch The President 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.960 isn't likely to forget. Now my next question, stop stops, 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:05.960 shut it down. You cannot be serious. Excuse me, Thomas Edison. 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.879 We were in the middle of interviewing an extremely delightful cow. Yeah, 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:15.160 what's your problem? Alva if that is your real middle name, Yes, 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.199 Alva is my real middle name. Like if you started 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.520 saying Alvin and then forgot how it ends. And my 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:27.080 problem is that you have met America's greatest event genius 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:31.400 on your show, and yet you're wasting time with a cow. 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.720 Don't worry about the Scotch. Mr Edison does not represent 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.160 the views of the Who Was Podcast, which is very 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:42.679 pro spending time with cows. Come on, you've got the 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:46.080 Wizard of menlo Park here, the first person in history 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:51.560 ever to record their voice and put it back. Wow. Really, 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:56.480 what did you say in the recording? Mm hmm, Mary 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:00.640 had a little lamb. Its fleece was whitest snow. Oh, 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.119 I get it. So we can't talk about cows, but 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:07.600 you can flap your gums about lambs all day. Look, 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:10.880 Mr Edison, you're a very important person, but this episode 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.880 isn't just about you. It's also about Temple Brandon, and 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:19.920 it's also about having fun. Boh, fun. You don't sell 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:24.000 light bulbs by having fun. It takes work and long 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.560 hours and never seeing your family and sleeping on an 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:34.920 uncomfortable work bench in your clothes. I think he's crying. 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:40.920 Be oh, Mr Edison, seems like you're really stressed out. 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.160 You want to go take a turn in the squeeze machine. Well, 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.760 I have spent the last for hours trying to come 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.560 up with a way to make electric socks. Maybe a 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:54.880 little squeeze would do be good. I think so. All right, 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.479 I'll be back to interrupt the show again later. Wow, 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:05.879 who new famous inventor? This could be so emotional, Scott. 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:09.399 I don't think I could say it any better than that. 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:11.360 It's time for us to take a break, But we'll 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:13.520 be right back with the final game of the episode 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.879 and the crowning of today's champion. Eric, Could you please 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:34.399 play us some squeeze machine music? Please exqueez me Sally? 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:39.760 Who was Marie? You may remember me from winning multiple 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:43.320 Nobel Prizes, or perhaps from my episode of the Who 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:47.080 Was Podcast where I played myself. I wanted to take 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:50.000 a moment to read one of my favorite reviews about 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:54.119 the Who Was Podcast. This is from Shaken Bay and 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:58.600 it reads loved this Me and my little sister love 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:03.680 this show more. Please ease our faith is Aman. If 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:05.760 you want to hear your review read on the app, 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.560 make sure to subscribe, like, and review to the oas 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.560 podcasts in the I Heart Radio up or wherever you 0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:21.760 get your podcasts. Revoir or shoul Let's Day Abio. We're 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:24.640 back on the Whoas podcast. When we last left off, 0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:28.120 Natalie had six points and Eva at six points. It's 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:31.520 a tie, and now back to your host, Ellie Calin, 0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:34.520 thank you be Before Thomas Edison can jump in and 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.800 yell at us again, let's get to our last game, 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:48.639 Converge of Greatness. In this game, we will ask you 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:51.720 multiple choice questions about the places where Temple Brandon and 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:56.560 Thomas Edison connect, overlap, or converge metaphorically, they don't actually 0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:58.840 connect in real life physically. And because we're in the 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.840 third round, each question sin is worth three points. Ready, 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:06.080 the first queston goes to Natalie be take it away. 0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:09.639 Temple Grandin was expelled from school because her teachers didn't 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.359 know how to recognize her autism and just thought she 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:16.199 was disruptive. Thomas Edison also left school early because a 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:20.600 teacher didn't understand his needs. Was it because A He 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:22.639 couldn't hear at the teacher because he'd lost some of 0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.639 his hearing to scarlet fever. B He never bought his 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.800 textbooks to class because they were on a shelf too 0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.119 high for him to reach or see. He was allergic 0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.560 to peanuts, and they made him sit right next to 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:38.639 George Washington Carver. A. That's right. The answer is a 0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:41.680 young Thomas loved learning. He had trouble paying attention in 0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:43.880 school and it didn't help, and he'd lost someone's hearing 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.400
