We now return to the Dave and Molly show.
All right, welcome back everybody.
We will have our hot topic segment in our final hour.
We are in the final hour, but we do have time.
We've carved out enough time for Fun Facts.
I like Fun Facts and I've got my pattern paper in it.
She always takes notes during the segment.
Now I would like Molly to share with us
the how Fun Facts works and then the only roll of Fun Facts.
So Dave has a bunch of facts.
They are all actually true except one is a fake Fun Facts, one
and only one.
And we have to discover what that is.
The only rule is no Googling.
No Googling.
Now if you know something to be true, you can text it in early.
You can put it on Quinn's monitoring our YouTube.
You can put it there.
If you're like, oh, I know that one's just to help us out.
No Googling and then at the end everybody can text it
and see if we can figure it out.
Okay.
Quinn's on board for this.
Did you ever get to do this when you were with us before?
I did.
I did a couple of times.
I wasn't very good at it, but I'm excited.
But we work together as a team.
Yeah.
Kind of setting things out.
So you're admitting that you're in cohorts.
I mean, nothing.
Never mean Molly.
No.
All right.
All right.
Let's begin Fun Facts.
Here we go.
Tom and Jerry were originally named Jasper and Jinx.
Then there was a contest to name them.
Amateur John Carr, $150 for coming up with the names.
Tom and Jerry.
Oh.
You know.
The first meal eaten on the moon was bacon bits, peaches, sugar, cookie, cubes,
a pineapple and grapefruit drink, and coffee.
I don't know about that one.
That sounds like too many things.
The Netherlands gave Canada 20,000 tulips every year.
As a thank you for protecting the Dutch royal family during World War II.
Canada protected them.
All right.
The other rule of Fun Facts is I don't respond to follow-up questions.
He deals in headlines.
I don't want to give off a tell.
Yeah.
I understand.
I'm just I'm looking forward.
I'm not even looking at you.
I'm just listening to you this time.
And people can see on YouTube.
They can see.
I know.
You see me.
Not even looking.
Writing my notes.
If you play dead.
In order to kill or capture an enemy in a war scenario.
You are committing a war crime.
According to the Geneva Convention.
Okay.
There are a lot of dumb rules in the war thing.
But that.
If that's true, which maybe it is.
What are you going to do?
Like.
No.
No.
He was playing dead.
Uh-uh.
He can't shoot people.
He looked dead.
And they do talk like that.
Okay.
Continue.
Baby hummingbirds know from birth.
To poop outside of the nest.
So other birds poop in the nest.
But the hummingbirds are so smart.
Okay.
The entire U.S. interstate highway system.
Cost 114 billion dollars to construct.
Or about $666 billion in today's dollars.
It contains.
It contains nearly 50,000 miles of roads.
Hmm.
Okay.
How much?
56,000?
What did you say?
Go.
Go back.
It's quid.
He's causing trouble.
I didn't write down the mileage.
50,000 miles of roads.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
That's the part that I always forget that there could be the little tiny parts of it.
Uh-huh.
It's 51,000 miles of road.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
There is a one lane bowling alley in the White House basement.
Which was added by Richard Nixon in 1973.
There was another two lane bowling alley in the White, in the West Wing that was built for President Truman.
But that has now been moved to the executive office building, which is also in the White House compound.
Come on, checkers.
Let's pull.
Uh-huh.
That be my favorite ball.
Oh, stop pumping the ball.
Ah, checkers come over here.
Pat, come on down, bowl.
African bowl elephants have the largest relative manhood size of any land mammal growing up to six and a half feet long.
Oh, my God.
You know what?
Oh, my God.
You know what would be terrible to be a female African bowl elephant.
The mom sits them down when they're born.
Now look.
It was hell getting you here.
And now that you're here, I need to talk to you about something.
It's going to come a day.
Just say no and start running.
I hope that was true.
So it's, you're saying their member is a Quinn and a little bit like Quinn plus.
It's Quinn plus the mini fridge.
So Quinn's holding the mini fridge on his head.
And he's looking for a female.
Six and a half feet tall, long, long, not tall.
A lot.
All those things were happening.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, imagine.
Is that just, is that just it like resting?
Oh, my God.
It'll be in the next county.
The intimacy factor.
We're going to drag her.
I'm going to debris that must get caught up in these crazy.
If you took every different combination of a Rubik's cube possible and physically laid them out,
you would be able to cover the entire earth's surface 270 times over.
There are 43 quintillion variations.
Kind of makes sense with the amount of little cubes in that thing.
That's a lot.
That's too many numbers.
I think that's too many numbers.
I'm circling it just because it's too many numbers.
But I'm really hoping that this Africa thing is true.
I'm rooting for it.
And then I'm going to Google it.
Soon as we're done.
Soon as you have said it, I'm googling that elephant during a razzle.
I am.
Well, no.
Yes.
That's what Trevor's asking is it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good.
Teddy Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway used to wear Avacromby and Fitch.
The label was an outdoor and sporting goods maker for almost a hundred years before it began specializing in young adult fashion in the early 1990s.
And you know what?
I don't know if this is exactly true that they were it.
But I will say when I used to shop at Avacromby and Fitch in Nashville, it was all outdoor.
It was all flannel.
Thank you.
It was the best, cosiest stuff.
And then one day they put those shutters up, started blasting loud music and were put crop tops in.
And I couldn't wear any of it anymore.
So I don't know who did that turn around and why they did it.
But I don't know if Teddy and them really shop there.
It could be the truth, the not one, but I do know what that happened though.
And the last of our fun facts.
Iran has fast food chains named mash Donalds and.
Oh wait, he can't even get through folks.
We've broken him.
Look at his face.
Just look at him.
He went too far.
Iran has fast food chains named mash Donalds and pizza hat.
Because McDonald's and pizza hut are not allowed in the country.
Oh, I don't know.
I think you flew too close to the sun on that one.
I think you thought.
All right.
Now it is your job to identify the fake fun fact.
I have not looked at the text line.
Okay.
And we can also look at the YouTube chatter too.
You too comments.
Let's see what they're saying.
No, this is way from way early.
This is from a few days ago.
All right.
Trevor tells us that he thinks Tom was Jasper, but he's not sure about Jerry.
Oh.
He also thinks the tulips, the Canadian tulip story is true and a very cool history story he says.
And we have a couple of people saying that's true.
And then yeah, Trevor wants to know a lot more about this dong thing.
Molly says elephants.
I was just talking about elephants.
Last night in my group, I think it's false.
I wouldn't make up a fake fun fact about that.
Sure you would.
Jastlin is saying Rubik's Cube not true.
I have that one starred as one of my questionables.
We got another Curtis as a Rubik's Cube.
Hannah says gross with a cry face.
She might have been talking about pizza hat.
I think she was talking about the dong.
Paul on the YouTube chat says mashed Donalds and pizza hat is fake.
Natasha calls BS on the food chain.
Julie thinks Rubik's Cube is fake.
Sarah can't even think of which one now because she's thinking about the elephant.
That's what you do.
You throw them out.
Jen from CDA says that is true of the Canadian Dutch thing.
Her grandpa was in Canada in the Canadian Army station in Europe.
We're two.
Oh.
Freaky Deaky Dutch.
Freaky Deaky Dutch.
That's what you really like when Quinn's up in the corner of our shot here.
It makes me so happy.
It's like we have a nutty professor doing stuff.
A very own.
It's pretty good.
Thank you.
Oh my gosh.
Have you locked in?
Have you locked in Quinn?
Yeah, I'm going to go with one that I don't know how I feel about it.
Okay.
I'm going to look at the text line one more time.
Well, I'm going to go with the obvious.
The mashed Donalds and pizza hat.
I actually think I've seen pictures of those.
Really?
I think that's a thing.
Really?
I think.
If social media wasn't AI generated or something.
Yeah.
I think that's a thing.
Okay.
I'm going with the playing dead as a war crime.
I thought about that.
I know I thought about that one too until you came up with the pizza hat thing.
Well, I think we're going to cover bases.
I think that I think the Rubik's Cube one might be fake too.
I'm going to lock in on the pizza hat and wash McDonalds or mashed Donalds.
Mashed Donalds?
Yeah.
All right.
Yes.
Waiting for maybe one more.
I'm sure you're a lot of math.
Hannah's going to have the last response.
Oh, no.
Now Kelly's going to have the last response.
Hannah says locking in on the ding dong.
LOL.
Ding dong.
Get it?
It's a fake fun fact.
Yes.
Has not been identified in the studio.
And it has not been identified on the text line because today is April, fallstay.
And they were all true.
LOL.
I'm going to throw it down on my headphones, but I didn't have them on.
That is ridiculous.
Look at it.
And now we can watch in the replay where the Nutty Professor is clapping and I storm out.
And now you can see the true, the true hero.
So I always thought about doing something like this.
Yes.
But it was actually your boyfriend, Ken.
Diddy.
He's the one that texts and said, hey, here's an idea.
What if tomorrow?
Lary, yes.
And I didn't even process that today was April, fallstay.
Yes.
And I thought, well, I don't want to do that.
And then I thought, oh, no, it's April, fallstay.
Now I get it.
So I thought, okay, I'm going to do one where they're all true.
Yeah.
Like literally everything on there was, was, was true.
Which style is pretty crazy.
Yeah.
I was in on the secret, but I still couldn't believe that playing dead is a war crime.
You were in on the secret.
I was.
What is going on here?
Why is the Nutty Professor going to be in on that?
I just stuck with that one.
I was like, I'm just going to keep hammering that one.
You took notes.
Question for you.
What kind of elephant was it?
Oh, and here's the other thing.
There is actually a picture of the elephant.
I was looking at it.
An African bull.
Yeah.
Bull.
I'll spell that.
Just I think just B-U-L-L.
I believe.
Oh, bull.
African.
Yeah.
Not bull.
Like how I say that.
Bull.
I, when I was putting all these together, that, that's it.
Yeah.
I know.
Where is this wheat, though?
Well, that's not the right photo.
Hang on.
I can find it for you.
I'm going to add the word penis.
Oh, no.
Oh, where are you?
It's my computer.
I'm on my own.
Oh, my goodness.
Talk about dragging your D in the dirt.
Mm-hmm.
You can't help it.
I mean, I'm not mad.
I'm impressed.
I, if you can make that thing happen.
Oh, my God.
Geez, Louise.
That's that, who wants to carry that around?
Is it just always out like that?
No, sometimes he wears pants.
Um.
His massive prehensal penis after,
is it one meter or over three feet length, weighing up to 66 pounds?
Oh.
What did you say?
You said six feet.
Six and a half feet.
Oh, three feet.
Here it is.
Here's the video.
Look at this.
Do you want to see the video?
A video.
Yeah, there's the video of him.
Ready?
There he is.
Take a look at him.
Look at that.
Oh, look at it.
What is he doing with it?
He can see it from here.
He can see it from here.
He can see himself.
What is he doing?
Yeah.
It looks like an antider.
It looks like an antider coming out of his, his gut.
Yeah.
Looks like something that's like not supposed to be there.
It looks like it's a deformity almost.
It looks like it's trying to get away.
Wow.
Everybody do yourself a favor.
This is South African wild.
Wait, that's not a trunk.
That's what I like.
Yeah, that's my goodness.
Well, that's something.
Oh, there's people on the YouTube text line.
They're Googling.
Oh, they're Googling.
They want to see.
Oh, yeah.
Good job.
Once you see it, you can never not see it.
Yeah.
It'll be in your head for a while.
That's, and the guys are ladies.
Don't be disappointed when you go.
Don't be.
If you're, if you're significant,
other sees a whole bunch of Googling and gets mad at you
to say it was for science.
Oh, man.
All right.
There's your fun facts segment for the weekend.
I promise, promise, promise.
In fact, I held over a couple of fun facts.
Next week will be another totally legit round.
You know, no more shenanigans.
One of the texts are said,
I don't trust anything after what you did to the thing.
Oh, yeah.
After what we did with the showdown.
Oh.
TNDC goes, how does it feel, malls?
How does it feel?
The receiver of the fool.
Oh, yeah, they should say,
hung like an elephant, said a hang like a horse.
They should.
Yeah.
I think horses, I think elephants have been saying this all along.
Yeah.
Why would you want to be hung like that?
But here's the thing about that whole argument.
The horse is smaller.
I mean, size for size.
Right.
You know, pound for pound.
Yeah.
Horses might still have it.
Yeah.
Oh, here's a picture of them doing in her course.
Oh, my God.
Why are they a mile apart?
They're in a different zip code.
How are you doing?
Get them off the screen.
They got sent to me.
It was just to send it.
No, yes, just to send it.
Sorry.
But you brought it up.
You're going to put something like that in there.
You don't think I'm going to explore every aspect of this new topic.
They brought to me.
It's happening.
I almost saved that one because I knew that everybody would get off course with something
like that.
Yeah.
And then you then that's where you see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's where you secretly put in the fake one.
Yeah.
But again, there were no fake fun facts today on account of April Fool's Day.
Yep.
That's enough.
