Um... Jim is nonbinary, though assigned female at birth.
Omg. Chuck. How are you this clueless? Maybe if Josh explains a fourth time … nope still missed it. Good grief man
what about the birds that are changing their migration patterns due to global warming?
I just started listening to play that funky music in triumph.
OMG how could this short (would've been even shorter without 3mins of ads) be all about Paprika and not mention it is the #1 flavouring in all BBQ & bacon flavour foods?! I thought this episode was going to dive into why it tastes so much like cooked meat but all it really talked about was that paprika is a type of pepper
The hosts are ignorant: unaware that Hitler's group didn't call themselves "Nazis" nor "Fascists" (they called themselves "SOCIALISTS" by the very word & ad nauseum in voluminous speeches & writings for years). That is "Stuff You Should Know" but they will never do a show about that. They will also never do a show about these amazing discoveries by the historian Dr. Rex Curry: Hitler's notorious logo was "S" letter shapes for SOCIALIST; Nazi salutes & Nazi behavior (adopted later in Germany) came from the USA's Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, written by the American socialist Francis Bellamy. They will stop producing "Stuff You Should Know" before they will ever discuss those historical items. You will probably never hear them mention that Soviet socialists & German socialists launched WW2 together, invading Poland etc for International SOCIALISM.
esses caras são uns comédias 😂
Can you guys do an episode on the temperate old growth rainforests of The Pacific Northwest and British Columbia?
What am i supposed to do with 11 minutes 😅
can someone explain to me what "the song" is they are referring to that they don't want to sing, and what the "s word" is? literally no idea and it's super frustrating 😅
I used to really love this podcast, but now it just seems like it's full of commercials and ads for other podcasts. Can't stand listening to it anymore
Good afternoon. A few days ago I met a cool group of friends. They are 18-23 years old and always go out together. I heard them playing a track by my favorite DJ and decided to join them. That's how we met and they told me that they always listen to his music on this site https://volumo.com/. We also decided to meet tomorrow. I hope we will become great friends.
I always thought conveyor belt toasters were called impinger ovens.
Pretty groovy stunt they pulled there..
Chuck CANNOT handle his liquor. He must be embarrassed
That should have been Biblical Time Machine, with Dave Roos.
what was the s word?
hey guys, loved the Ep and also love Honey 😊 Two things though. First when you where speaking of pasteurized Honey one negative is that it destroys some of it's beneficial properties which isn't horrible if it's going to be used for hot (tea, oatmeal) items which would do the same any way. Second for organic honey it's a bit of a waste as most times to get an organic classification one only needs to account for a small radius of the property to be pesticide free. I Believe that radius is usually only around 3 miles but don't quote me and any sense the point here is most bees can usually travel further than the radius that these properties will have, which pretty much negates the organic classification most of the time. so again, it's a bit of a misnomer. you can have two bottles of honey, one organic and what not and the reality is they could both be exactly the same
In this episode, Chuck stated that there are 900 bird species. I just googled it and there are in fact about 10,000 different bird species, and of those, roughly half or 5000 species are migratory.
