we now return to the dave and molly show all right let's jump into uh fun facts do you like fun facts i like fun facts fun facts are fun fun fun fun they're very fun and this week you're not going to pull any shenanigans and no and not have there be a fun a fake one no right right there's only one fake one right okay okay now uh what's the rule of fun facts uh no googling yep and there's only one and the rest of them are 100% true facts. Correct. Even if they're hard to believe, they're all true. That's why it's fun, because when we get through the segment, even if you miss the guess, even if you guess wrong, you still have learned, yeah, you're like, well, all that other stuff was true? Wow, that's pretty crazy. That's hard to believe, Dave. And there's been no cahoots with Quinn, so Quinn, you can play in the fun facts game as well. Yep. Last week, that was a load of crap. You knew about that? No cahoots. Did you like my acting? Yeah, I was pretty good after. You're all really good, actually. Yeah. You can learn a lot about a person by the way they act. That's what they say. Anyway. What? Anyway. So this is very important that we have a very active text line for this, okay? So everybody listening, everybody watching, however you want to do it, the text line, the Dutch Bros text line is 509-448-3237. At the end of the segment, I'll say, okay, all those are the last fun facts. I read them all. then you text in the one that you think is fake. Right. We'll give you on-air credit if you get it right. Okay. I've got my pen and paper ready to take notes. Okay. Let's begin. Fun facts. All right. There's a statute from the 1900s that is still on the books in Missouri. It says that if a bull has been running loose for at least three days, anyone is allowed to castrate it. Castrate it? Jeez. not just have it as a pet, but castrate it. Also with fun facts, Molly will try to get me to react to something to reveal a tell. I will not do that. I will not play her little game. My little game. I do it for the people. I do it because they can't. And I'm trying to, yes, I'm a good journalist. This is what you do. You ask follow-up questions. I mean, both of you, I like it. You're both taking notes. That's great. I'm literally switching over to the computer so I can type easier. Oh, my gosh. Okay. All right. There is nicotine in eggplants. It's not very much. You'd have to eat 20 pounds of eggplant to get the nicotine effect that you would get from one cigarette. So if you see me hunched over a slot machine with a bunch of eggplants around, you'll know I'm trying to quit. She ran out of cigarettes. I'm just eating it. All right. Frederick Barr is the inventor of Pringles. And before he died in 2008, his final request was to be cremated and buried in a giant Pringles camp. See, also, if you're just joining us, what also happens is sometimes Dave will laugh at his own fact. letting, then we're thinking, uh-oh, he broke up on that one. He couldn't keep a straight face. That must be the fake fun fact. And he's just playing us. Maybe he is. There's more to the story, though. Oh, okay. His final request was to be cremated and buried in a giant Pringles can. His children fulfilled his request. His son said, my siblings and I briefly debated what flavor to use, but I said, look, let's just use the original. I know I can't tell if you just think that you're so smart that you can just do that or if that is a real story. I don't know if you're thinking, oh, I can just lay out ridiculousness and they'll never know the difference. And Trevor pointed out very early on castration and eggplant. There's a theme here. Right? because it was an eggplant, the intercourse thing. Elephant's next. You're welcome, Jessalyn. Madison became a popular name for girls only after the movie Splash came out in 1984 when Daryl Hannah character picks the name off of a Madison Avenue street sign Even Tom Hanks in the movie says but Madison isn a name It sure as hell is now. What is Maddie's full name? Madison. It is? See, that's what my friends patting out. Their daughter's Madison. Outrage. Never do that. I know that that's true. I've heard that that's true. I have. I've heard. I mean, I think that's why a lot of people did the Madison. Yeah, I think you could be right. We'll see. Okay. The original eight Jelly Belly flavors that were introduced in 1976 were lemon, root beer, tangerine, cream soda, green apple, licorice, grape, and very cherry. Very cherry has been the most popular flavor since 2003. If you, if I swear to God, if you're like, and watermelon was also one of the original. If I'm just going to not even, I'm not even going to entertain the jelly bean fact because that's too much. Too much, sir. There are currently only two major league left-handed catchers in the game. Due to the nature of the throws, lefties struggle to play catcher. It's also very rare to see left-handed throwers at third base, shortstop, and second base. Well, I know it is very common to have a first baseman be a left-hander. That's almost always the case because of the way it is. And I can imagine a third baseman, that would be tricky. But I don't even have paid attention to the catcher. What do you think, Quinn? You're the sports guy. And he gets me with the baseball that I don't know very well. But I would be inclined to say, because Josh, my coworker, was a college catcher. And I think for some reason that I've heard that that is true. That usually you're not left-handed when you're a catcher. Usually it's right-handed for whatever reason. So I think this one might be true. I think it's because most batters are on your left. Right. So then you get up and you can throw. All right. Yeah. Moving on. Nuclear physicist Nicholas Kemmer suggested the atomic symbol PU for plutonium deliberately as a joke because it resembled PU as in a foul smell. But nobody objected and it made it on to the periodic table. For what now? For? Plutonium. Plutonium. I don't know. The oldest person to father a child was 96 years old. He believed the reason he could still have children was that he had been a vegetarian his entire life. He died in 2020 at the age of 104. You know what? I don't know if this is true or false, but I'm icked out. I mean, good for him at 96 to be able to, you know. Eggplant. Eggplant. But what did he have to do to become a father? He had to have intercourse. Continue. you. Star Wars droid R2-D2's name came from sound editor Walter Murch during the post-production of George Lucas's 1973 movie American Graffiti when Murch asked for reel 2 dialogue track 2 as in R2-D2. Lucas was in the room working on the script for Star Wars at the time. He heard the request, asked Merch what he meant by R2-D2, and said that would be a great name. I hope that's true. That sounds good. Yeah, sounds good, doesn't it? Yeah, it does sound good. Sounds very good. Bell peppers and mini spicy chilies are the same species. Bell peppers just have a mutation that makes them incapable of producing a chemical compound, which gives chilies their fierceness. Hmm. The bell peppers are soft. That's what you're saying. Yeah. Okay Yes Even though the Minions from Despicable Me franchise speak a fictional language Minionese. Okay. Is that what it's called? I believe it's called Minions. Maybe it's called something else. Somebody will tell us. Anyway, even though they speak a fictional language, they still have to re-dub for each language the films are released in so the speech patterns are recognizable to the audience. The longest surgery ever recorded was performed in 2001 by a team of 20 doctors. It took 103 hours to complete, which is more than four days. They were separating 11-month-old twins who were conjoined at the head. The surgery was a success. Okay. Four days. Surgery. Chia seeds can absorb up to 27 times their weight in water. And it has led to the hospitalization of at least one person. Chia seeds? Like chia pet? Chia. Chia pet. And the last of our fun facts. All right. Only one U.S. president has ever died of cancer. Ulysses S. Grant, who died of throat cancer in 1985. Jimmy Carter. 1985? I'm sorry, 1885. Okay. 1885. Jimmy Carter was diagnosed with cancer 10 years before his death, but he beat cancer and lived to be 100. okay those are the fun facts only one only one is fake your job is to identify the fake fun fact hmm i know you took a lot of notes i think you got you made notes on all of them uh yeah um so okay the chia thing yeah i don't know about that i think that's accurate because i people use chia seeds and like health food things that i see on tiktok and it's always absorbing all sorts of stuff. So I think the chia seeds is correct. All right. Aaron says, your ashes can be put in anything. My grandmother's is in a Beefeater's gin bottle. Let's see. Here we go. I'm just peppers. We have Curtis thinks the peppers are fake. Paul thinks Pringles is fake. Mr. Ed says give me a break I think that's fake but I don't know what it is I'm looking towards here's what I'm thinking the minion thing sounds like a load of crap the PU thing possibly also that but this whole 96 year old father thing I think that you have grossly exaggerated the oldest father in the world and then also made up the fact that he was a vegetarian that is all made up All of it. Because I know how you do things now. And you'll be like, well, he was only 80, and he wasn't a vegetarian. And then he'll do this. Okay, so they're coming in fast and hot here. Hannah says, I'm going with baseball. Carla says, jelly beans. Aaron says, minion is fake. Julie says, I think the eggplant with nicotine is fake. D&D Steve says the conjoined twins surgery. Trevor says I got lost in the surgery talk, so I'm picking that one. Cheryl has the Minion movie. Natasha says as fake as the Pringle fact sounds, I think the Minions is a pile of crap. Oh, pile of crap even. Linda says the longest surgery is fake. Laura says I think it's either the plutonium or the Minions. Curtis says, I think the peppers is the fake fun fact. Ed says, P.U., give me a break. I think that's fake. Oh, that's the one. Okay. Did you get Hannah going with baseball? Yep, that was the first one. Okay. Me and here's, oh, oh. Sarah says the Star Wars fact Carla says oh there a lot of references to intercourse today Yeah there sure is Thank you Well, you have to read them all. Are there any YouTubers? Yeah, we got AlaskaBound76. Again, I don't have your full name on YouTube, just your username. Says the Eggplants. Kate says Minions. And Shannon says she believes them all. Oh, I can assure you that unlike last week, because last week was April Fool's Day. This time, there is one that is fake. I think I'm going with the jelly beans because I think it's going to be something like there's 10 flavors originally, not eight. Or very cherry was not actually the most popular. That's my guess. Jelly beans. I'm going to go with the 96-year-old man, and I will put $5 on it. You're locking in on the 96-year-old man. $5. Quinn is locking in on the jelly beans. Jelly beans, yep. Okay. You guys are going to be very mad when I reveal here in just a bit. But I will say this. The fake fun fact has been identified, but only once. And only on the text line. I mean, no. One person. Baseball. It is the baseball. Dang it, Quinn. Dang it. I told you there was no help on that. But here's where – this is where you guys might get pissed. Well, I'm going to get pissed already. I'm taking my $5 back. So here I said there are currently two Major League catchers that are left-handed. Yeah. Wrong. There has not been a left-handed catcher in the Major League since 1989. Wow. Yeah. Wow. So it's so rare that it's been decades since – I said there were two of them. and used all of the same sub-fact stuff. Lefties struggle to play catcher. It's very rare to see left-handed throw. All that other stuff is true, but there are no left-handed catchers in the major leagues, and there hasn't been any for 30-plus years. Sheesh. So we were on the right train of thought. We just were totally wrong. I don't like you. I believe this is usually when she says, you're a butt. She called me a butt last week. What adult calls another adult a butt? It's the one who burps on live of YouTube after drinking a fake beer. I know. Everything else is all true. Right. And I toyed with the idea of slipping in a couple of flavors on the Jelly Belly one. But then I thought for the same reason, because Molly would be very mad if I threw one out of seven. And then you'd be. Yes, I would be really mad. And so the 96-year-old guy, that's a true story. That is gross. That's irresponsible, too. Why are you doing that? I know. I want to get a picture of him. Yeah, I'll find him. Take a look at him? Yeah, I'm going to look, too. Oldest man to ever have intercourse and make it stick. Oldest father. Oops. Yes. Here he is. Oh, you found him. Oh, good God, man. Oh. What is happening? Ramjeet Raghav is his name. He's from India. And he only had his second child at 96. Talk about waiting a long time. Well, he was saving himself for the right person. But wait, he became a father. Wait a second. This doesn't make sense. Oh, there's somebody else. Okay. Father, children, blah, blah, blah. So we got to give on-air credit to Hannah. Nice job, Hannah. Hannah Listener 168. She was the only one that correctly identified the fake fun fact. Nice work. Nice work. Yeah, I don't know that this guy, and he's holding the baby. Doesn't it look like he doesn't know how to hold a baby? I mean, here he is. I see. Oh, yeah. That's not good. You've got to Google it, you guys. Not good. Not good. Oh, all right. We've got to go. Yeah, we've got to go. What do you think we do? Hang around here and talk about fun facts all day? Yes. Yes. Yes.
