[00:00] You want to move into our next segment Jon Coalson. Oh [00:04] We do it under Google rules. That was the plan super excited. I told us we had to [00:12] We signed up for it well, so threatened resignation and everything I don't know [00:17] This is this is your kicker in your contract [00:22] My negotiation this offseason demanded this this be involved a new segment [00:29] What's gonna happen is we want the fans to tweet to email [00:35] Whatever however you contact us Twitter mail website [00:42] Yeah, get a hold of us call a text us [00:50] Send me send me a raven [00:53] And then if you googled something during the week [00:58] And you found it, you know [01:01] That was kind of interesting [01:02] We would like you to send us that question without giving us the answer and then we will attempt to answer it on the pod [01:10] Okay, so I have I have some Google questions that people have googled recently [01:15] And I'm going to go ahead and ask those stuff. I don't know the answers to these things [01:19] I haven't googled them and we're gonna go ahead do our best to get the right answer [01:23] In the end, it's gonna be better and more true than Google can give you so [01:30] So guys I'm just gonna try a couple and if one of them works off to keep that if none of them work [01:35] I can cut the whole fucking thing out. But I got a couple of options. I'm definitely keeping that part in [01:42] We do under Google rules that was the plan super excited told us we had to [02:01] So [02:04] In the end it's gonna be better and more true than Google can give you the difference between a [02:14] Denver omelette and a Western omelette. Ooh [02:20] Okay, Google question [02:23] Okay, so let's go go Western omelette. You got your ham. Okay. Yeah, you got green peppers. Yeah [02:31] onions, yeah [02:34] Do you tomatoes in there? No, you don't we got cheese. I got a cheddar cheese maybe or Monterey. They might know [02:41] It's no tomato though. I think it's just ham green pepper and onion [02:46] Hey, I'm green pepper on you with a lesser. Wait, what is that? Is that so that's the Western? No [02:52] That's the Denver one. The Western one is just avocado with marijuana. That's all there is [03:04] You're right, Joey, you're right that you've described the Denver omelette though, Joey [03:09] Jason, that's right. Joey's right. That's the Denver on the Denver one is [03:13] Is the ham is green peppers and onions? [03:19] Okay, wait so to clarify Denver omelette is ham green peppers onions and cheese [03:25] Yeah, that's my understanding and a Western is you throw in tomatoes. I feel like a Western omelette has tomatoes [03:33] I would think so. Is there bacon in one of them? [03:37] Is the answer bacon or no bacon? [03:40] We give the answer [03:42] Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying. We say but I feel like that's why this is a Google question. All right, cuz what the what the [03:49] What's the difference? [03:52] Tomato so Jason's going with tomato. I think tomatoes are the difference. Yeah, I feel like there's more meat in one of them. I [03:59] See, I think you add bacon to one of them to make it [04:01] Is not like turkey or some shit? [04:05] Turkey and I'm thinking ham cubes of ham [04:08] Yeah, the cubes of ham are in both for sure for sure. Okay, and onions and green peppers for both [04:16] Like the little tiny cubes of ham that shouldn't exist. Right? Is it a different kind of cheese? Maybe maybe that's the difference [04:24] Like one is a cheddar and one's a Monterey Jack or something. Yeah, that's what I'm there one's Swiss or something [04:30] You see you could see Western being pepper Jack or something. Oh, yeah [04:34] That sounds like West. Let's settle on that. Yeah. Okay. All right [04:38] so listeners the difference is that the Western omelette has pepper Jack cheese and the Denver omelette has cheddar and [04:47] Maybe the Western has tomatoes. So that's that's our answer to the listeners [04:52] Thanks for sending that in [04:55] Are we not now gonna use? Yeah, you can you can look up the actual answer to if you'd like [05:00] Let's see. Okay a Denver omelette also known as a Southwest omelette or [05:05] Western omelette what [05:07] All the same build with ice ham onions green bell peppers though. There are many variations on the fillings you set up [05:15] Yes, there is [05:20] So Joey gets the point yes [05:22] The answer is there are no rules [05:26] That's ten points [05:28] Words don't mean anything [05:31] Have no meaning. All right [05:33] So I've got I've got another googled question. Okay, if Hillary Clinton is elected president [05:40] What will bill be called? [05:43] the first gentleman [05:45] Is that is that the answer? I believe so there I mean this this happens in [05:52] Mayorships and governorships, you know what? This is this so this was a long experience for me [05:56] I'm supposed to shut the f up if I know the answer. I apologize. Well, no, I think [06:01] No, it's good. So the options are first gentleman and first [06:06] Husband but that means it's gonna be first bro, right first, dude [06:11] First dude, dude, dude, because what did we call it? It's the first lady. Yeah, so it would be gentlemen [06:16] What's ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen? Okay, sure [06:20] Next see that was they don't all have to be hard [06:22] Sometimes we could just know stuff but but I mean I think that the point is to to give us room to say something funny [06:28] And I screwed it up [06:33] Okay, I've got another question from the Twitter that's not sure I didn't get this from Twitter [06:40] I [06:47] Again so this was given to me [06:51] By friend, I figured out the feelers for my friends and family about saving their Google questions [06:59] You were saving their Google questions, that's right [07:04] Where does the phrase tongue and cheek come from? [07:08] Google question, that's not a phrase tongue in cheek. It's the phrase. Well, maybe that was why it was hard to Google [07:20] From the basic misunderstanding of the phrase actually tongue in cheek is what's in a Western anomaly [07:31] Red peppers [07:34] Gross do we know do we know where tongue in tongue tongue in cheek? Where does that come from? [07:41] From people making the rude [07:45] You know [07:48] Yeah, I'm gonna go. Yeah, I'm gonna go with this is some like old-school medieval code or something [07:53] You know like that sounds you know, like trying to fish on the ground with your foot where you say something really cool about the king [08:00] Yeah [08:03] Stick your tongue through your cheek to be like, I don't really mean that that's my completely made-up answer [08:10] I like that [08:12] I run with that. So this is like it [08:15] It's a silent code to somebody that that you're being sarcastic or what you said was not the truth [08:22] It was the goal to show them like stick your tongue through your cheek type thing or you're just talking like this from the time [08:29] That's a code you're talking like Gary Johnson did and I want to interview [08:39] I'm gonna go with [08:42] It's a phrase from [08:45] the 50s [08:48] Okay, and it came from I [08:54] Don't have anything [08:57] You [08:59] Like people making it dribble into trouble and people making out yeah [09:04] Somebody's it's somebody else's talking in your cheek somehow [09:10] That that somehow that evolved to me and it was a sarcastic or joking statement, yes, okay [09:18] I'm working on that. That's where I'm having trouble making the connection [09:23] For etymology of phrases is pretty interesting. I don't know. Do we have a [09:27] Can we actually Google this to see? Yes, we can absolutely Google this [09:33] The term first appeared in print and [09:37] the fair made of Perth in [09:41] 1828 [09:42] hmm [09:43] This entire well before the 50s. Yeah, and well after medieval time. Well, I think he met 1850s [09:50] Right [09:53] I think that goes without saying so really satisfying answer [10:00] This is the best part of this. Yeah [10:07] Although I I did so we failed to look up the answer to the second question [10:12] and [10:13] so while a person married to a [10:17] Political officer who's a female would be called for a gentleman. Mr. Clinton specifically will still be called. Mr. President. Yes [10:28] Yeah, I I dropped the ball on that apologies pretty so it's it's like mr. And mrs. President a little bit yeah [10:35] Yeah, they should change their names [10:39] That's that's fun, that's a good twist on that question. Apparently it's fairly literal [10:44] I don't know. Apparently this is something that people I like it when when I say I don't stick my tongue in my cheek [10:49] But apparently that's the thing that people do [10:52] another one I [10:55] Was gonna look up a tongue-in-cheek on Urban Dictionary, but I'll stop [11:04] No, I think that's a great start first week try and let's do one more do you have one? [11:10] We may know the answer to this I don't but [11:16] What's the difference between an ocean and a sea [11:20] Ocean and a sea it's size [11:23] Right. That's is it more technical than that probably can I go with it's probably arbitrary [11:35] What's the biggest sea that you know [11:38] The sea of tranquility the Mediterranean the sea of tranquility. Yes [11:50] Well, but but [11:52] seas are [11:55] Contained on all but one side, right [12:01] Okay, whereas oceans are contiguous [12:08] But bodies of water right contiguous land map or continue to see is is essentially covered or it's contained by [12:17] So like you could you could you could sail into the Mediterranean Sea, but you couldn't go through [12:23] Right, you'd have to go via a river or something like that to get to another ocean [12:27] Whereas if you were in an ocean you could just circumnavigate the globe and stay in oceans [12:32] Yeah [12:34] Is the better question [12:36] How why were the oceans ever differentiated since it's all open sure wasn't one [12:42] Connected body of water. I mean, I think it has to do with tectonic plates, but they were named long before our understanding of [12:50] tectonics [12:52] We've also like the Bering Sea [12:55] Where is that? That's a up north [12:59] Yeah, but that's like parts part of the ocean, right? I mean [13:06] I suppose that you could make the argument that it is locked in most of the year by ice [13:12] right, so [13:15] They may actually consider that [13:18] For now but not for long [13:22] That was very cheery Joey, thank you for that [13:26] No, so oceans were named wind [13:30] Everybody thought the world was flat. So they weren't they didn't think it was all one body of water, right? [13:35] Well, some of them not all of them. Yeah, I don't think everybody thought that [13:39] And by the way, some people still think the world's flat [13:43] Hmm. Well, if you're listening to the show and you think the world's flat [13:47] Tweet Anna. Sorry to break the news [13:58] So, but no you've got like the Indian Ocean you got the [14:02] Atlantic Ocean. Oh now when now I want to see if you can name them all [14:07] All that I want [14:10] Oh, yeah, you do how many are there? Well, we're not gonna tell you [14:18] Pacific there are five I think okay Arctic [14:23] That's for [14:25] Wait, what did you say so far? [14:27] Atlantic Pacific Indian Arctic [14:35] Atlantic Pacific [14:37] Indian Arctic [14:39] Who's got the fifth? [14:44] Are those are there only four? I just do five out at five seemed seemed like a nice round. I'm a screwing with [14:51] Maybe a little bit but you're screwing with us by even doing this this is [14:56] So do we have to do we have to decide before we google it how many oceans there are is to do we have to kick [15:02] Is there an Antarctic Ocean? No, no [15:05] So Joey, do you know how many oceans there are? [15:11] 11 [15:13] I saw that movie [15:21] The great movie [15:23] I thought it was five too. But yeah, there's the Atlantic Pacific [15:28] Indian in the Arctic [15:30] So do you guys want to feel old here? Sure. Sure [15:38] I'm pretty sure that when we were growing up there were indeed four [15:43] There are now five there is a southern ocean. Ooh [15:47] Where is it? That's a thing. I'm gonna go with south [15:54] Can you narrow it down [15:56] What I mean, it's the equivalent of the Arctic. Oh, I see around the it's the Antarctic Ocean. Okay, right? [16:03] But is that because of the melting? [16:06] Antarctic I [16:08] Think it probably had less either. I mean my quick guess without having read anything about this is that probably there's [16:16] identifiable patterns of [16:19] movement within any within any particular ocean and that a landmass like Antarctica is gonna have an effect upon its surroundings, so [16:26] It probably makes sense that there's a fifth ocean [16:30] But it wasn't there when we were kids there were four [16:34] So do we know the first time I've ever heard of it [16:38] So do we know the difference do we want to Google the difference between sea and ocean what have we decided it's that it's [16:43] Landlocked on three sides. I would say my final answer is a large body of water. That is [16:53] Partially contained all are mostly contained. Yes. I agree. Okay. Are we good? Yeah [17:00] So [17:01] Geographically speaking that is correct. But you guys will all be disappointed with the quick and dirty answer [17:07] Which is that seas are smaller than oceans and are usually located where the land and ocean meet [17:13] Typically seas are partially enclosed by land. So [17:18] Yes, that's correct, but I mean it's a whole bunch of there doesn't seem to be an overarching rule that gives us [17:26] real satisfaction here [17:28] Alright, so the answer is it's smaller [17:31] Thanks, Google. Thanks. Well, no less. Yeah, I know [17:38] All right. Well, there you go [17:44] Glad to answer things for you [17:47] thanks for tweeting in please continue to [17:50] contact us with your emails and you can do it through the website and [17:54] We'll keep answering your questions on the under beatables
