Episode Date: July 9, 2016

We crack open the trivia-filled world of EGGS! Which end of the egg comes out of a chicken first? Chris fluffs it up with the science and how-to behind perfect scrambled eggs. (And we have a micro interview with a very special guest who has very strong opinions on this particular dish.) And of course, how can we do an episode on eggs without sharing another weird animal reproduction story? This time: the mating horror of the anglerfish. Dana has prepped an egg salad of a quiz for us while Colin serves up a protein-filled egg word quiz. And what exactly are Faberge Eggs, and what makes them so insanely expensive?

You're listening to an Airwave Media Podcast. Hello, pleasant purveyors of podcast, puzzling, pondering about playhouses. Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 186, and I am your humble host. Aaron, and we are your, that's good one, footy, that's footy. Footie, playing goody, goody foodies who are not snooty, moody, or have cooties. Also, we talk about duty. I do, I no longer have cooties, it's true.

I'm Colin. I'm Dana. And I'm Chris. Yay, Dana's back. Yes. I'm still happy to be back. Oh, nice to see you. Yeah.

All healthy and well rested. That's right. And this episode is brought to you by Harry's. carries.com purveyor of awesome shaving goods and guys it's time for uh another karen's marathon this time in montana oh so time to make myself aerodynamic time to shave up i'm to shave up and i got my i got my good job brain orange harry's a razor kit i love it that it comes in good job brain orange oh right and uh make sure i shave my legs don't want that drag yeah wind resistance yeah going 10 minutes like 10 minutes per mile

I'll believe you're serious when you shave your eyebrows. Oh. Is that a dare? Don't do that. No, no, I'm not daring you. I could not bear being responsible for that. You can what care? You can what?

You need your eyebrows because when you start sweating from your forehead, it's all going to go in your eyeballs. It's going to be the worst. It's a functional thing. Headband. Yeah, which is probably lesser dynamic than just keeping the eyebrows. Headband with eyebrows printed on them. Well, that's why they wore all the sweatbands in the 80s because we hadn't involved eyebrows yet. Yes, it's true.

I got most of my stuff packed. I'm going to Missoula, Montana for the Missoula Marathon. Actually, I'm going there for a couple races. There's just the 5K, and also there's a beer run. So along with all the stuff I packed, in case if you're wondering, some of our runners in our packing list include our clothes, but we also use something called body glide, which is a lubrication that you have to put it like between your legs or your armpits or chafing, anti-chafing. And, of course, before I do that, I usually also have to. shave to make sure everything is smooth. I mean, that's the thing.

I'm not really shaving because, I mean, sure, I'll feel aerodynamic. Yeah. But a lot of it is chaf. A lot of it is you're out there for five hours, sweating. You know, it just gets really uncomfortable. So this is why I bring my Harry's razor kit with me. And don't worry, girls can use it too, not just guys. Harry's razors are German engineered.

Five blade cartridges. They're up to five now. So you get a close shave. No cuts, no burns. It's quality guaranteed and full refund if you're not happy. And I want to do a callout. You can buy the razor and you can buy the handle. You can buy things separately.

But I really like the kit that they have. I use the Truman kit because it comes in like nice packaging. Yeah. I like the little protective cap that comes on the razor is new. I remember the earlier kits didn't have that. I like that. So for just $15, you can get the razor, the moisturizing shaving cream, and you get three razor blades.

and, of course, we have a special offer for you because Harry will give you $5 off your first order with a promo code brain. That's a really good deal. So go on over to Harry's. That's H-A-R-R-S. What's a beer run? If you go to the store?

Oh, okay. Not during. No. That's the beer mile. Consecutatively. The beer mile is you drink. Simultaneously. And then the beer run is you run

and then at the end you celebrate with a beer. Oh, okay. So usually for these last. How is that different than normal running? It conveys that there's guaranteed beer at the end. Not just optional beer. Are you going to have pizza at that end? Yeah.

For your pizza race. That's called pizza rum. They have those two where you eat during pizza run. Oh, really? Really? Wait, have you done that before? That's gross. Where is it?

And why haven't you done it? It's in New York. It's the Cramps International. It's a good series of racing. A couple episodes ago, we talked about the triple crown of thoroughbred horse racing. Yes. Do you guys know what the triple crown of hiking is?

No. There is such a thing. Okay. All right. I could, I mean. Everest K2 and in the U.S. In America. I'm going to guess it's like Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail.

Oh, man. What's the, I don't know. There must be a third one that I'm just. Las Vegas Strip. I'm guessing it's like the major transcontinental trail. Continental Divide. Oh, okay, okay. Collin being our camper and hiker of the group.

Good job. Triple Crown of hiking is the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail. Wow. I've done a good portion of the Continental Divide through Colorado. That was one of my favorite hiking trips ever. That was great. Carrying bags of poop. The total length of these three trails is about 7,900 months.

Miles. That's 12,700 kilometers. It's like, I don't know if you guys read, what was the novel, Wild? Yeah, Cheryl Strait. It's not like, oh, fun hike. It's like you're, you have a compass, you're going through snow, you're going through dead, like really extreme conditions. And it's very, very cool. And what's even cooler is I'm sharing this because one of our super fans, good job bringing super fans, is on his way to complete. all three at the age of eight. What? Yes. Get out of town. Let me read this letter from a family of listeners from Dion. Hello, team.

I am a long-distance hiker and father of Buddy Backpacker. The youngest person to hike the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Colorado Trail were also a thousand miles in on the continental Divide Trail this year. My kid now is eight, and you are his world. I'm getting forklint. We often remember the greatest parts of the trail with what episode of Good Job Brain we were listening to when we were there. You've educated us during some of the hottest days and then kept us laughing during

some of the coldest. Thank you for being such a huge part of our lives and helping him break a new world record every year. Wow. So Buddy Backpacker, whose real name is. Christian he has he is broken a couple of records that's uh that's that's humbling for many reasons yeah not least of which i don't remember episodes of good job brain at all you don't no i really don't i can all tell you this is true dion and andrea are

his parents buddy backpackers parents their whole family goes with him and they have their little travel log and that's really cool um you can check it out at buddy backpacker dot com there's low P.S thing so you can kind of follow them. That's awesome. Yeah. Really, really inspiring. So if you're listening right now to us, buddy, we wish you the best of luck. And we're always going to be here entertaining you on your journey.

So Dion, Christian's dad, gave us some cool facts. All right. Some questions, too, some trivia questions. So what is the highest mountain in the lower 48 states? I know. What is? I'll give you guys a... No, you can shine.

I believe it's Mount Whitney. Correct. Buddy climbed that at six years old. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Go buddy. What is the first United States National Park?

You've been there. I have been there. It's either Crater Lake or Tahoe. It's Crater Lake? Deepest Lake and seventh deepest in the world. Which makes me think what is deepest in the world. I don't know off the top of my head. Well, you'll look it up later.

Crater Lake is really cool. Yeah, because it's like a perfect circle. It's inside. an old volcano, yeah. So it's like a perfect circle. There's no like inbound flow. The water's super clear, really cold. It's beautiful.

It's an Oregon, right? It's right. It's an Oregon. Yeah. And here's a bonus butt-themed question. Good, good. What animal gives its name to a place to poop while hiking? Oh, okay.

The honey badger. If it's what I'm thinking of, what animal do we allow to poop inside our houses? Cat. Cat. cat. It's a cat hole. So when, so, you know, Colleen is talking about you take it with you or you poop and you got to pick up your poop. You poop in what you call a cat hole. Yeah. Because you like kind of dig out. Dig out nice and deep. If you're going to do that in the woods. Yeah. Don't just do it like one inch below the surface. Yep. Wow. That is. Isn't that cool? That is really cool. Yeah. I'm going to be going camping actually in just a few weeks and we'll be doing a very short quarter of a mile. section of the Pacific Crest Trail, just a fraction of what Buddy Backpacker is doing. So I will think of you guys when I'm out there. So keep on trucking, buddy, and have fun, finishing your Continental Divide Trail.

Wow. And without further ado, let's jump into our first trivia segment, Pop Quiz, Hot Shot. Do you guys have all your answer buzzers? Yes. Yes. And I have here, I'm going to select a random trivial pursuit card, and these are all official Trivial Pursuit. Good. I'm a little bit of a snob

when it comes to these cards. Oh, Trivial Pursuit 90s. Here we go. Blue Wedge, what city did Dr. Quinn bid a do to when she headed west to become a medicine woman? Wow. Wow, that's deep.

Boston. Correct. Oh, God. Wow. Where did you go? Somebody's watched the first five minutes of Dr. Quinn I remember her first name was Michaela.

Oh, wow. Because people thought it was a spelling error, like Michael A. Quinn, and they're like, whoa, well, a lady doctor. That's right. Yes. Because it was like the Pioneer. It was it, was it an Old West or Pioneer or what was it? Yeah.

Something like that. Okay. Oh, wow. Good job, Chris. All right. Pink Wedge. Whose hair clippings? There's a typo on this card.

Last question, Orange Wedge. What was the first Windows edition named for a year instead of a version? We've had this so many times. Windows 95. We had this on the 95 card. They're recycling. What is this? Spelling mistakes.

Recycled questions. I guess they don't think you're going to play every single card. Get out of here. They put that card toward the back of the tray. They're like, they're never going to get to this card. It's fine. Good job, Brains. Okay, today's episode.

Since we started recording Good Job Brain, we get a lot of topic suggestions from fans on Twitter, on Facebook in email in person sometimes and this one is a pretty popular one. Oh, everybody wants this episode? Yeah. Huh. Huh. It is on the subject

of eggs. Okay. A lot of egg loving people out there. Now you said it was a requested topic but I don't think I realized it was so popularly requested. Yeah. It's, it's, I guess it is a really interesting concept or thing to talk

So this week, we're talking about eggs. When I'm hungry, you know I'm under Jones for eggs. Let a jibia al-a-a-o in the kitchen where the pros go. I'll cook you something pro bono. But I don't know his eggs. I'm a chef a roll hard. We've our stranceros. Or maucheleonio.

From an alabanios. Like, ba, ba, ba, pa. I'm Dr. Eggman. All right, Chris, you can go first. Let's crack this open. So I have a voice recording that I want to play for you guys. That is me having a conversation with somebody recently a couple of weeks ago.

That is highly relevant to this podcast. And I did not know it would be so relevant when we had this conversation. But here it is. So I have to say, before we start, well, we have, I did start. Your scrambled egg YouTube video changed my life. I'm so pleased. I'm the beneficiary of that. Sometimes.

Sometimes. Everybody is the beneficiary. Yeah, everyone who's benefited from this. I'm amazed how big that's gone. I think it's like 15 million, Justice said. It's something that we cook so often. So we're going to do it, do it right. Yeah.

Absolutely beautiful. Well, I just never learned how to do that. I mean, you just grow up learning like, well, you take a frying pan, you put the eggs in, you burn them, and then you kind of chop it up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And also, I think, for me, it's one of the sexiest ways of having breakfast when you're

partner. Because when they're done fluffy, light, delicious. Furnished with smoked salmon, they're mind-blowing. So I love it. Yes. Oh, who was that mystery guest? Yeah. Sounds familiar. Well, that was Chef Gordon Ramsey.

Can you tell without the F-bombs. He didn't call you a donkey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going to ask him to, but it just felt a little weird. He's like, oh, that's for a small fee, I'll call you a donkey. Chef Gordon Ramsey He's releasing a video game

Gordon Ramsey Dash which is actually out right now On your cell phone But I really wanted to talk to him about a scrambled egg recipe Because he's got this video A YouTube video that as he said I said it was 15 million views And he tells you how to make scrambled eggs And it for me was like life changing

Because I eat scrambled eggs all the time And I did not realize Like the techniques that you could use To not totally ruin scrambled eggs like I never realized how good scrambled eggs could be if you just simply changed a couple of things about the method by which you created them. So I want to nerd out about cooking for a little bit and I want to. This is really, this is one of those good job brain. This is going to change your life moments. I just want to talk to you about scrambled eggs and how to

make amazing scrambled eggs. So this is how you can really ruin scrambled eggs immediately is if you take a pan and put it on the stove and turn the heat on and then put butter into it and wait for the butter to melt, right? You know, there's just a lot of people do. Right. And then you take the eggs in a bowl and you whisk them all together and then you pour the eggs into the hot pan. At that point, you've, you've already started burning the eggs. Oh. Eggs are so sensitive to heat that if you take them and just pour them into a hot pan that you just melted butter in, you are going to, you might start burning them immediately. Or browning. I mean, you don't want to brown them. Pour it into the pan. They all brown on the underside and you

chop it all up. And it's like, I mean, it's scrambled. eggs. It's like, no, you ruined an omelet as what you did. So what Gordon Ramsey suggests is this. You take a sauce pan. So you don't start out with a frying pan. You can do a frying pan, but really just take a sauce pan. Put it cold on the stove. Just put it on the stove. Don't turn the heat on yet. Crack all the eggs into it. You can whisk them in a bowl if you want, but you're going to be constantly stirring anyway. So you just put the eggs right in the pan. No oil? No oil. Nothing. will stick.

You take butter, like a tablespoon of butter for three eggs, ish. Okay. And just put it right in with the eggs. Uh-huh. And as you're cooking the eggs, the butter is going to melt, and it's going to go all throughout everything. It's all going to become one organism. So. What delicious way to do.

Yes. So then what you do is this. The really important part is managing the heat. You don't want to have too much direct heat on the pan because that is, you know, is how you'll burn the eggs. You certainly don't want to walk away. So, I mean, what you're doing is you're just constantly stirring, stirring, stirring the eggs. And they're going to come, they're going to start to set up.

And at the point where they kind of start to form and come together, you take the pan off the heat and keep stirring them until they're kind of like, they'll cook a little bit more. And then when they kind of stop setting up, then you put it back on the heat. And it's like, you put it back on the heat, heat the pan up a little bit more, and then take it off. And just let the residual heat that's. in the metal pan. So you're just doing it gradually bit by bit. Yeah.

And you can also, some people will cook eggs really, really slowly over really, really, really low heat. And like 30 minutes later, they'll have really good scrambled eggs. That's always been my technique. You don't have to do that. All you're doing with the slow technique is, no magic is happening, you're just not burning the eggs. You can turn the heat all the way up to high, just as long as you're managing it and making

sure that you only get the pan slightly hot, then pull it off. That makes so much sense. That makes so much sense. It's just about not letting the temperature the eggs get too high. When they're, they'll still look a little bit, if they still look a little bit wet, they're done. Like, not runny, but just a little wet. If you wait until they don't look wet anymore. It's too dry.

Too late. They're too dry. And even if they're perfect in the pan, by the time you stick a fork in and eat them, they'll, they continue to cook. So what Gordon Ramsey does is it takes crem fresh, which is basically like fattier sour cream. You can, you can probably find it at your supermarket if you can't just use some sour cream. and adds it in right at the end, right when the eggs are done. Oh, to cool it down. And that cools it down.

And it takes down the temperature. It sucks some of the heat out. The heat goes into the crem fresh, and it just basically like, it stops things. It does. It adds a little bit of a creaminess, and it adds a little bit of the depth of the flavor, but it's really about temperature. It's like a fixative. Yep.

And then at that point, remember, you haven't salted or peppered anything yet. At that point, throw a little bit of salt and pepper in. If you're not going to use crem fresh, I mean, if you like, cheese in your scrambled eggs, like that's a good time to throw in the cheese, just like throw in the cold thing that takes the temperature down. Also, if you want your scrambled eggs to continue to be hot, don't put them on a cold plate. Because the cold plate will just suck all the heat right out of it. And then you've got a pile of cold scrambled eggs. So you might warm the plate up in the oven on low, you know what I mean? That kind of thing. Now, I really wanted to advance

this topic for good job brain. So I decided to see, are there any other chefs on YouTube because that's, you know, the only place I could think to look, who would show me other methods of making scrambled eggs. And yes, indeed. So, Jamie Oliver... Oh, another Brit. Indeed. He did the British method of scrambled eggs, just like Gordon Ramsey. And then also,

he did a video about French-style scrambled eggs. And the difference, the primary difference is they use the double boiler method. So they have a pot of boiling water on the stove. You put a glass bowl sitting on the pot of boiling water and so then the eggs now you cannot

burn these eggs the idea of burning you can't burn them right because the temperature of the eggs is always going to be the temperature of the boiling water like it's not

it's not going to get any hotter than that that's why you do a double boiler to you know milk chocolate and things like that so you do the eggs in a double boiler it takes a little bit longer

but not that much longer that's the French style that's the French style I've never seen that done and then again that makes so much more sense and again you can just you can let it sit there

Not that you should let it sit there, but even if you accidentally do, like, they're not going to burn. And you get that, I mean, you take them out of a double boiler scrambled eggs. I mean, they're just, they're so good. Like, the flavor is so delicious. So you prefer that one more? Because now you've just used. Probably because of the cleanup. I'd probably just stick with using the non-stick saucepan.

Oh, importantly, almost forgot to say this. A silicone spatula. Oh, yeah. That, when you're stirring the eggs, that's what you're constantly scraping the pan. build up into a giant egg comet. You don't want the film, so you're using a silicone spatula to keep reincorporating that

back in. When you are done, you just scrape out all the scrambled eggs and they just come right out of the pan. You should never have any egg burnt onto your pan ever. And also, I do have a, the trivia question, which is do you know which Beatles song was originally

titled, given the working title of scrambled eggs? Oh, I feel like you, I feel like. Oh, Karen does. I don't. I'm just going to guess. Go for it. Because how many Bial songs are there?

There couldn't be more than a dozen. Yeah. It can't be that many. Norwegian would. No. Interesting. Yeah, it is a song that has a three-syllable name, but I mean, that might not narrow it down very much. Dana.

Come together? It's not come together. Oh, okay. Three-syllable name? I don't know. So the song is actually, you know, the song is actually yesterday. So the song, as Paul McCartney was composing at the original lyric. were scrambled eggs.

Oh, how I love your lovely legs. Not as much as I love scrambled eggs. Now, to be fair, are you trolling us? No, he was not going to actually write the song that way. But as a songwriter, when you have a melody, you make up ridiculous lyrics to it so you don't forget the melody. Got it.

That's a good one. But originally it was, yeah, very popular Beatles trivia. It was originally scrambled eggs. And then, wait. My baby, how I love the. your legs not as much but not as much

yeah yeah Colin brought another book to trivia oh is it from the straight dope this is yes I have a

little bit of from one of these straight dope books by Cecil Adams this is I have a question for you

guys here that has been covered in straight dope tells all all right I'm gonna I'm gonna

greatly paraphrase this here what end of the egg comes out of the chicken oh Is it the flat, rounded end or the narrow pointed end?

I'm going to have to go with the narrow pointed end. Okay, Dana, what do you think? To really, you know, ease that sphincter muscle. Yeah, that's what I think, too. All right. This is a more fascinating answer than I could have imagined. It's on the side. I'll be paraphrasing Cecil's answer here.

So he's talking about his initial thinking. Then he talked to Cornell University professor, Kavus Keshavaras, a poultry czar, as he called him. Now, according to Professor K, the egg initially moves through the oviduct small end first, okay, narrow end. When it reaches the uterus, however, it hardens. Okay, so that's when the shell calcifies. It rotates 180 degrees and then travels the rest of the way big end first.

So it comes out of the chicken, flat, big end first and when you think about it like this it makes a lot of sense because when it comes out that way it's easier to squeeze it out you know if you imagine like if you were going to squeeze like you know something through a rubber hose you're squeezing on the narrow end to move it along yeah yeah yep yeah so it squirts in his words it squirts forward and out into the cold cruel world when you look at the poop emoticon emoji it has like the pointy end on that's true well that's true I suppose, although it's coiled, right?

But, oh, you're right, it tapers. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. That's soft, though. Yeah, yeah. So, there we go. I had no, I mean, I would have, I would have never guessed that it actually makes the 180-degree turn. I thought it was pretty fascinating.

That's kind of the fascinating. Yeah. It's like a little. That's the end of my science. It's the end of my science contribution for today's show. Beginning and the end of the science portion of today's. No, I actually have a few science questions. Dropping some science.

Eggs are very science. Yeah. Eggs are very science. They are very science. All right, I have an egg salad of a quiz for you guys. A little this and that. And you guys have post-its and markers, and it's all going to be multiple choice. Oh, okay.

Yeah. Right-down. It's a write-down multiple-choice quiz. So since we're talking about eating eggs, I want to start with, on average, do Americans consume more eggs per year? than 1950 the same or fewer eggs on average do Americans now compared to the 1950s oh so per capita per person in America per person yes per person in America on average per year more the same oh that's that's weird are we more eggy because I feel like are you making low carbon all right all right everybody

Okay, Karen and Chris say we eat more eggs. Colin says we eat fewer eggs. We eat fewer eggs. Really? Yes. I thought the Atkins boom, the protein, like just. You know, in the last few years, we have eaten more than the years before that. But in 1950, people were eating about 3754 eggs per year on average, more than one a day.

And now it's 251. So it's less than that. I can kind of see that. I can kind of see that now that. My reasoning was like maybe like the anti-cholesterol, you know. leaves of like the 70s and 80s I think really drove yeah I think you're right I think yeah that's so weird yeah yeah because I grew up always thinking eggs are good for you no there was this cholesterol stuff yeah their reputation has been rehabilitated a lot

so looking at a chicken how like you have a chicken yeah it has it's a chicken how can you usually tell whether its eggs will be one white or brown. Whoa. Multiple choice. Is it by its feather color, its earlobe color, or its toe color? Like usually there's a correlation.

They have earlobes? Yes. Well, maybe. Maybe that's the... Maybe Dana's a weirdo. I don't know. Yeah. All right.

So, Colin says feathers. Karen says leg. Chris says earlobe. It is earlobe. Yes. I didn't think that Dana would put that in. No. Chickens do have earlobes.

So chickens with, they're on their ear, you know. Thanks. Where you think they are. They do have ears. And chickens with white earlobes usually lay white eggs. Chickens with red earlobes usually lay brown. Oh, my God. They do have earlobes.

Yes. I thought it was just brown eggs stand from brown chickens. White eggs came from white chickens. No. Earlobes. Yeah. It's the thing next to their eyes. It looks like, it looks like a blush, like cheat.

Okay. It's their cheek. Huh. So usually, because there are some blue chickens with blue earlobes. They lay blue eggs. No. Sometimes they also lay white eggs around. Like, so there's like some funny.

Why can't I go buy blue eggs? They just don't mass produce those. Yeah, probably not. Chicken. Yeah. Karen, guess what? Chicken earlobe. All right.

And the best selling. Children's book, Green Eggs and Ham. What mammals does the character refuse to eat with? And then agree eventually to eat with. You know, to be honest, I've never read that book. Really? You can, okay, so here's a hint for these. I'm going to give you three animals for each of the multiple types.

And so here's like a little bit of a hint is think about rhymes. Right, sure. So is it a mouse, fox, and goat, a bear, pig, and dog, or a rat, cat, and tiger? Say that again? So A is mouse, fox, goat. B is bear pig, dog, and C is rat, cat, tiger. I have my reasoning since I never. Everyone says mouse, fox, and goat.

Chris was house, box, and boat. Yes, those are the rhymes for it. I was like, I was like, that's the easiest to ride. Yeah. Also, it would be really weird to eat them with a pig, right? If it screams and a ham. That'd be really a little cool. It's totally fine to eat them with a mouse fox and goat.

Yeah, I mean, you know, it's not like a little mouse steak. You have to eat so many of those, too, to get even a little fat as fine. Yeah. The largest egg of any living bird is laid by, is it an ostrich, an emu. Or a California condor. Oh. Largest. The largest egg from a bird.

The largest egg is from a whale shark, but it's inside their bodies. It's not a bird. So that's why I just wanted to, like, be a specific. Wait, condor, ostrich, or emu. Yeah. Colin says ostrich, Karen says emu, Chris says emu, it's an ostrich. Ostrich is the largest bird. Emu's the second largest bird.

Ostrich eggs are about 3.6 pounds on average. Emu eggs are 1.5 pounds on average. And a condor is like 10 ounces. It's not, like it's a very big bird. But it's not, yeah. Last question. This is about the Easter egg roll at the White House. Oh, my niece has been.

Oh, really? Nice and nephew, yeah. Oh, that's nice. So Rutherford B. Hayes, oh, sorry, before I get into this, like, we have been consistently terrible at presidential trivia, at pub trivia lately. Like, I know that we used to be better at it. I think we were a little better. I think I was maybe a little better, but I've forgotten everything I know about the president.

We just bomb. We keep bombing. It keeps happening. It's embarrassing. You got to memorize the Animaniac song. This is part of our getting better. I needed to include. something about presidents in this.

I like it. Rutherford B. Hayes was the first president to host the annual Easter egg role at the White House in 1878. As a side note, before that, it was happening, but it was on Congress lawn. And the kids were ruining the lawn. And they passed a law saying Congress's lawn cannot be a child's playground anymore. And then they moved it to the White House. So Congress was literally the old men saying, get off my lawn.

They ruined on the White House law. Yeah, and the president's like, it's cool. I'm only your four years. So who was the president when black children were first allowed to attend the Easter egg role? Whoa. Was that Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, or John F. Kennedy? This was an interesting story. What are the choices?

It's Roosevelt, Eisenhower, or Kennedy? FDR Roosevelt, right? Yeah. Oh, sorry, yes, yes, the second Roosevelt president. Huh, that's a good question. Man, these all seem plausible. I was going to guess Johnson, but he wasn't on the So Collins Eisenhower, Karen's JFK, Chris is FDR, it was Eisenhower.

Wow! So Mamie Eisenhower, actually, so the Easter egg role kind of got postponed for 12 years in the 40s. There was a war happening and, you know. So in 1953, Mamie, I mean me. Eisenhower was the first lady and they had the Easter egg roll and she was like, oh, why are the black kids standing outside the gate watching the white kids play? This is weird. And so the next year, she opened it up. She was like, hey, let's open. Yeah. This is awkward. I don't like this. If anything else, standing outside the prince. Just watching. So 1954 was the first year.

They opened it. That's good. It was Mamie Eisenhower. who felt super awkward about it. Well, good for her. Good for them eventually. We get there eventually. Egg rolls for everybody. So that was my weird egg salad. Like all egg salad.

It was weird. A little salty and weird. A little delicious. Chopped us up. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I wanted to fit in. Are you dreaming about becoming a nurse or maybe you're already in nursing school? I'm nurse. Mo, creator of the straight A nursing podcast, and I want you to know that I'm here for you. I know nursing school can be challenging. I've been there, but it doesn't have to be impossible.

We think you're going to love the Data Over Dogma podcast. Wherever you subscribe to awesome shows. All right, guys. What? Today's egg episode is the perfect vehicle for me to share more animal reproduction stuff.

Yeah. Because that is my interest, my passion lies in finding out how animals reproduce. I want to preface this with the fact that I've been so addicted to one show on TV. This show is on Animal Planet and it's called Tanked. And it's about the place. that does custom fish tanks for the whole country. And it's, they build custom crazy fish tanks for airports,

for hotels, for celebrity. So the show mostly is about, they meet a celebrity client, and then they kind of listen to what they want, and then they build this beautiful thing. That sounds cool. It is really cool.

And it's, it's pseudo reality. It's reality because there are building something, right? But, you know, some of the setup might seem stagey or cheesy, but... Somebody says, I'm not here to make friends every episode. There is one thing for certain, watching so many episodes of this show, is that even though they're jokesters and their personalities, there's no question that these guys are experts.

And I think that's probably one of my favorite reality show genres is when people are experts and you see their craft. Right. And so they talk about the craft. of building the science behind it, the weight, the water, but my favorite part is when they go fish shopping. They go to a lot of tropical fish and rare fish dealers, and they introduce so many different fish. And you learn a lot about different kind of fish reproduction, like there are a couple of fish that are mouth brooders, where the fish have their eggs,

and they keep the eggs in the mom or the dad's mouth until they hatch. Mouth brooders. Mouth brooders. mouth brooders. So they're not breeding from their mouth. Got it. Because the eggs are already laid. They're storing them. To be clear. And it's really weird because that one fish cannot eat during the whole time.

Wow. Until the fry, the hatchlings come out. Is that to protect them from predators? Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. It's all survival. It's all survival. But there is one fish.

This was not in the tank show because I just went into a whole, a fishhole of, like, Spelled out of a fish hole. Fish egg hole. And I read, I just looked for interesting fish egg. So, do you guys know what the angler fish is? Yes. I know. Angler fish.

It's the one with the thing on the top with the light, right? Yeah. Oh, oh. It is one of the, Colin, you know, you know. I guess, yeah. Oh, and a little thing. Okay. I didn't know that's what they were called.

Right. Angler fish are monsters, basically. Yeah. They look like monsters, and they live in the very depths of the ocean or the sea where it's completely dark. It's so far down. It is dark. The population of other animals is very, very sparse. It's cold.

And you have this crazy fish that looks like a nightmare animal. And it has, on top, there's a little lure. The leer has bacteria that's bioluminescent. And so it lights up. Like a little lantern. Yeah, it is. And it tracks other fish or other creatures to be like, swim right up to it. Oh, what's that?

What's that? That's cool. Oh, no. And the angler fish can eat the other creature whole, swallow it whole. It has an exploding jaw. It kind of looks like it has an underbite. So you can really open it. Who knows once and next time that this fish is going to bump into food.

Right. So instead of like feeding constantly mini meals, like it's just like I'll eat whatever. whatever I can get because it's so unpopulated under the ocean. In such extreme conditions, how do they reproduce? How do they reproduce? When scientists start kind of collecting them for research, they notice something. They're like, man, all of these anglerfish that we've captured are all chicks. They're all females.

We have not bumped into a male anglerfish. Oh, by the way, anglerfish is not one species. It is in order. So there are many, many different types of angler fish or that use that angler bait, lear bait mechanic. And they all look ugly. I just got it. Oh, I get it.

Like angler is like, they have the lure. They're fishing. They're fishing. Fishing fish. Oh, my. But they didn't find males of any of them. They only find females of all of them. They're like, that's really weird.

They're all female. Where are all the males? How are they reproducing? And, you know, like, when you see an angler fish, they look kind of nightmares. They have like gelatinous skin. and they're bumpy and they're like sharp teeth. The scientists were like, yo,

what are these weird bumps? No. Where are these weird bumps on the anglerfish that we've captured? So the anglerfish, they're pretty small. They're actually like 10 centimeters long. So that's like five inches. That's the female.

The males are significantly smaller. How small? Millimetres. What? Millimetres. Some measure as small as 0.8 millimeter. What? It is tiny.

And your female is five inches, just like exponentially larger. Yeah. So how would they meet when you... Sounds profoundly unsatisfying. It sounds like inner space, you know, when they like shrunk somebody down and then just like sent them into the body. Right, right. Kind of almost right. So this is what happens.

Because in the deep, deep, deep, deep ocean, individuals are so sparsely populated, finding a mate is very, very hard. The tiny little male, they have either, some species have really strong olfactory scents for smelling and some have good eyes. The anglerfish male will seek out a female. And when it finds a female, it will open its little tiny, tiny mouth and bite onto the female. the male will release enzymes that basically will break down and fuse the mouth of the male to the body of the female so that he becomes a part of her. They eventually share the same circulatory system. No, what?

Wow. Yes. This is like some Lovecraftian level horror. It is. So they become fused together and their blood vessels are one. Wow. And now the male fish is, he doesn't have to find a maidenware. He found it.

And he is attached to her. This is an example of parasitic reproduction. Wow. And the female now doesn't have to bump into a male. She always has a supply of sperm readily available to her. If she decides to make wherever, whenever, and the male cannot survive without the female. A female can have six to eight males attached to her. Wow.

So she's just dragging along. It happens a lot. Yeah. Does the female anglerfish trigger when the actual, like, fertilization happens? Or is it just, like, whenever she's ready, she's like, okay. Wow. She doesn't have to wait. For her, it's going to be energy.

Like, is she going to have energy to output, you know, to have the eggs? That's crazy. Do they just have the eggs and then leave, or do they take care of the eggs? They don't, they actually don't take care of them. It's maybe okay, because if they had boys, then the boys would join her to. We'd just bite out. You'd see an endless tree. Yeah.

Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. That is one of the craziest reproduction stories. Seriously, it's nightmare-filled blood. It's really interesting to go do an image search on this. And you see, at first, like, you're like, oh, that's a gross angler fish. And then you notice the little fused, weird fish. dangling all over.

I can believe that I haven't heard of this, but I can't believe that you haven't heard of this, Karen. Yeah, this is so up your alley. I know. That's amazing. Yes. Also, fans of webcomic, The Oatmeal, might know this one, but I actually didn't see the strip before.

I saw it afterwards while I was doing the research, and it's a funnier take. It's an illustrative take on how the mating actually, or not the mating, but the fusing actually happened. from the webcomic, The Oatmeal, a last tidbit about the anglerfish. So it actually went through, there's some controversy in the animal world to determine what is the smallest vertebrate.

Okay. You know, this is back in 2012, they found a new species of frog. You might have seen pictures. It's like on a coin and it's tiny. And it's about 0.3 inches was given the title the smallest vertebrate. However, all the anglerfish scientists are like,

well, you know, the male. That might be the smallest vertebrate species, but the smallest vertebrate animal is the male anglerfish. And then, of course, people are like, well, that can't, it's a parasite. That animal cannot survive without a host, so you can't really count it by itself. So there's all this, like, controversy and debating. How do we measure the smallest? I guarantee you the frog and the anglerfish do not care.

They don't care who wins this. Yeah. They just want to survive. I didn't get my smallest vertebrate check in the mail. Oh, that was so cute. A tiny check. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

A little county fair for this ribbon. That was some egg scruciating nightmare fuel. Good job. Ding, ding. Yeah. This episode is brought to you by Square. You're not just running a restaurant.

Yesterday afternoon, we were spending a lovely day out in Carmel down by the coast, saw some seals and sea lions, and knew I had to prep for the show.

And on the way back, we're driving back. I'm like, I don't want to do for eggs? And my wife is like, oh, hey, you should talk about Faberjeet eggs. You've done that? Oh, that's a great idea, Fabergergerger eggs, you know? Like, we all know it, no one knows anything about it. So get home, crack open our Slack channel, and I see that Chris has already reserved. Hey, I'm going to talk about Faberger's eggs on the show.

Yeah. So I actually have to say it about Faberget X. So we have talked on the show before about loss aversion, not wanting to take a loss on something, buying something and then not wanting to sell it for less than you bought it for or going to the casino and wanting to get back the money that you've, that kind of thing. So nobody wants to take a loss on anything.

This happened in about the year 2004. This very thing happened to a scrap metal dealer somewhere in the American Midwest. And I say that because his name and location are anonymous. He exists, but he does not want the world to know who he is or where he lives. And you will find out why very soon. But in 2004, he went to a flea market, and he found sort of an obje d'art, a golden egg. It was made, definitely made out of gold.

This guy was a scrap metal dealer. He knew what it was. Made out of gold. It had three little sapphires on it, and it had a diamond. And when you press the diamond, the egg. opened up to reveal a gold watch and so the he ended up buying it at this flea market for $14,000 it was that kind of flea market it was the the seller knew what they had I mean it's this it's this piece of solid gold you know yeah um they're not going to let it go 50 cents um but yeah

he bought it intending to melt it down he was like okay so buy this for like 14000 i can get he you know he's thinking he's going to get like 15 to 16 to 17000 back out of it, make a quick $1,000,000, end of story. But he might have overestimated the raw scrap metal value of the whole thing because he couldn't get anybody to pay him more than he had spent on it. He basically, he kind of messed up as far as, like, kind of estimating the scrap metal value of it. So he took this egg and he put it in his kitchen from about 2004 to 2012, was in his kitchen.

Again, he knew it was worth money. He just didn't want to sell it at a loss. He'd gotten into this thing, and he was just like, I'm going to wait until somebody's going to pay me for it. Year 2012, he was like, all right, what am I going to do with this egg? What is this thing? He goes online and he does a Google search for egg. And also, Vacheran Constantin, which was the name engraved on the watch. That is a famous, I believe, Swiss maker of watches.

Okay. Right. And had he searched for this two years earlier, he would have turned. up nothing. Absolutely nothing. But in 2011, a couple of things had happened. People, collectors, had become aware of the possible existence of this particular artifact that he was holding.

And now, because they had started looking for it, there was information about it online. And he had a Faberget egg. So what is a Faberger egg? F-A-B-E-R-G and then the E with the accent. I just thought they're like egg ornaments. Yeah. Well, you hear about it all the time. It's like, oh, you know, the rich, rich millionaires, they don't have anything to spend their money on.

They buy Faberjeet eggs. And you see a picture. And it's like, oh, it's a, you know, it's a golden egg. Ornay, jewels all over it. And it seems sort of ridiculous thing you would buy if you had way too much money, which is totally true. Yeah. You might not know the story of them. The House of Faberje was a well-owned jeweler in Imperial Russia.

Founded in 1842. It's Russian. They put the little accent on their name. make it sound a little continental, a little Frenchy. By 1885, they were, you know, they're very popular. I mean, this was the, this was the jeweler that you went to if you had a whole bunch of money and you wanted to get an ornate custom things done for yourself. And Tsar Alexander III went to Faberj in 1885 and said,

I want you to make an Easter egg for my wife for Easter. Okay. And so what Faberjee created for them was pretty astounding. It was a golden egg just the same. size of a chicken's egg. So just imagine a chicken's egg made out of gold. It was enameled to look white. You twisted it open and opened it to find that the whole thing was made of gold.

And he pulled out of the hollow golden egg, a golden egg yolk. Uh-huh. You open the yolk. What? And inside, now, it's getting pretty small now, right? Yeah. Inside the golden yolk was a tiny golden hen with ruby eyes. You open the hen.

What? And inside the hen, there's a tiny golden replica of the imperial crown. Oh. And hanging within the crown, well, again, we're getting super tiny here. He went to town on the other. They're really good at nesting things. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then hanging within the crown was a tiny pendant with a ruby. There was also included with it apparently a golden chain of normal size that the empress, Maria. Can wear the crown? No, could, yeah, could wear the, ruby or the pendant or the crown like a rounder neck if she wanted to yeah so it was yeah yep yep it's like a pop-up book so this is pretty freaking impressive this ain't the least so much so that the tsar alexander the third commissioned a new egg every year for easter they they all contained surprises when they were opening and the part of the whole thing was what was the surprise

tiny portraits little miniatures the miniatures of the palace you know that's cool music boxes, more jewels, you know, clockwork kind of thing sometimes. And they, of course, they get just more and more creative and elaborated. Yeah, you got to raise the bar each, yeah. All in all, Faberjé made about 50 eggs. There were, there was one per year for the Tsar, and then there were a few others for other, like, private clients,

such as, like, the Rothschild family, which was this, you know, one of the biggest, you know, most moneyed families. They had one made. Alfred Nobel's nephew, Emmanuel Nobel. have one made for himself. Do you want to hazard a guess as to why maybe Faberjé stopped making

these eggs? The Russian Revolution? Yeah. Because, yeah, the Russian Revolution came in and deposed the ruling families and nationalized the Faber She company, and they all fled. They all got the heck out of Russia real fast. But the eggs

became over the years, like, the ultimate, ultimate collectible. You know, if you, again, He got a gillion dollars. Yeah. Maybe you buy one of the Faberger eggs from somebody else. Malcolm Forbes, head of the Forbes publishing family, bought nine of them. Wow. How many are there in existence?

50-ish. Oh, my God. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's like almost 20%. Yeah. He got into it.

Yeah. He got super into it. What, nine? I mean, even just to find somebody who will sell you one looking first place. Let alone nine. He ended up, he actually. sold all of them for $100 million for the nine eggs to Victor Vescoberg, who is a Russian collector, who is now, he actually owns 15 in total. He has a buttload of money, and he's put them all into a museum in St. Petersburg.

So if you go to St. Petersburg, it's a privately owned museum. He still owns them, but you can go look at them in St. Petersburg. And, yeah, and there have been, I mean, the Faberje brand is still around. They actually, you can actually, you can buy like egg-shaped pendants and earrings and things like that. But it's not the pre-rublishery. Right. It's like the Faberge eggs is a very specific list of a very, very, very few things. So back to the one with the watch in it that was found in America.

Is that really? Midwest. Yeah. Oh, it was. So this is the reason they didn't know. So it was actually photographed. It was photographed in 1902 amongst the things of the. the Empress Maria, but it was sort of faded, you know, and it faded, but it was sort of zoomed out,

you know, like low quality, and they had assumed that this one had been found because there was another egg that sort of looked like it, but that wasn't it. And they had realized in 2011, they found a catalog for an auction that took place in 1964, and they saw it in there with a big description of the watch by Bachelon-Constant, and it had been purchased by apparently. by somebody in America, some really rich American, but it wasn't listed as a Faberjay egg. It was just sort of like

Ed, Golden Egg, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so, it hits the newspapers that year in 2011 the fact that, like, oh, they just realized this is out there, and that's the article that the scrap dealer turns up when he goes online to research it. Turns out it was the third

imperial egg. It was the third one ever made. Yep. I mean, he sold it for an undisclosed sum of money to a collector. It's probably worth about $30 million. Now there's, I think, like, seven of them out there that have not been found, or they don't know the whereabouts of them. Man, your story, I was filled with dread when you were like,

he's a scrap metal dealer, and he couldn't sell it. And I was like, he melted it. Yeah, that's what I thought. He almost did. And he found somebody to pay him. They would have melted it down and nobody ever would have thought about it. We'd have never known. And that's why you didn't say his name or where he was from because he's like,

and then, like, I died. No, it's because he lives in the Midwest, and now he probably has about $30 million. He probably doesn't want anybody knowing who he is or where he's from or, yeah. Can I just have a million dollars? Two things. Just get back on my feet. A, I didn't know they're Russian. I thought they were French because of the name.

Of course. You know, it's like Haagen-Daz. You're like, oh, it's European. Right. It's actually not. Number two. I thought Faberjeet eggs were real eggs that people carved and did stuff. to it like the original raw materials egg and they gilded it and stuff but i know it's all gold

yeah got it because you see those eggs with the carvings and the hollows sure yeah yeah yeah do you think that's where the plastic eggs with toys in them come from like for easter you get the you know i think these were based on those were based on okay yeah yeah i was like maybe it's just like a russian nesting doll this is the money version of those this is the money kinder egg yep i'm gonna go home and check my addict you should You should check one. You might have one up there. I can't say there isn't one there.

Well, after all these good job brain stories of appraisal and Chris's stories about, like, treasures in your attic, it always makes me wonder. I was like, ah, but it makes me keep everything. I was like, I don't like stuff. You can't even count on like, oh, I researched everything. So I know it's fine because, you never know. In two years, maybe there's an article about it. Right. So you should hoard all of your things.

Yeah. The lesson is. Right message here. What should I throw out this McDonald's rapper? You should think it for its service. What is it? What is? Actually, people, I think I talked about this.

People do collect like the styrofoam McDonald's containers because it's nostalgic and we threw them all away. And they don't make them anymore. No, read that Marie Kondo book. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm not saying it's a good idea. I'm just saying people do like pay like, I'm not saying a thousand dollars.

Do you remember the Transformer toys? They have them in Taiwan, too. They're having meal toys and they're like little fries at... Oh, yeah. To a robot. Those are cool. Those are cool. Those are cool.

Cool story, bro. Yeah. That's it. Those are cool. All right, Colin, time to lay one last egg. All right. I'm going to lay one last egg here. Try real hard. Close her eyes.

Yeah, just come over and get the narrow end in the right place first. I have a word puzzly quiz for you in the manner of our very own Chris Kohler. I'm inspired by some of the word puzzle quizzes He has done for us in the past Every answer to this quiz Will have the word egg EGG contained somewhere in the answer It'll be people, places, things

Well, actually no places, people or things Proper nouns possible I'll tell you if there's proper noun It'll be very clear And you know, get your buzzers ready This will be perhaps a little bit of a lightning round So remember all of these answers somewhere within the middle,

not at the beginning or the end, will be the letters EG. Dana's cow buzzer is running peg. Let's switch it with the horse. There you go. All right. Thank you. Maw.

That's what it's like. So, for example, if I were to say another name for a panhandler, you would say, Beggar. Oh, okay. Got it. Everyone got it?
