00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,820
Right now
2
00:00:12,820 --> 00:00:39,940
Hello and welcome to Learners Permit Podcast, a show where four friends lock themselves
3
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:43,380
in a room and forcefully educate each other on the subjects they're most passionate about.
4
00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:47,540
Each week, one host selects a topic to educate the other three about in hopes of broadening
5
00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:49,620
their willfully narrow horizons.
6
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:55,180
My name is Cody, I'm flying solo today because everybody else is busy and it's fucking 11.19
7
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:56,980
on a Thursday so they're working.
8
00:00:56,980 --> 00:00:58,420
How's everybody doing?
9
00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:00,580
I hope all of you are doing great.
10
00:01:00,580 --> 00:01:03,620
Happy New Year, I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
11
00:01:03,620 --> 00:01:09,580
We did talk about that at Nausium for about three weeks so I am so sorry.
12
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:15,020
But with that being said, New Year's resolutions, I hope everyone's staying true so far to what
13
00:01:15,020 --> 00:01:17,020
they set out to do.
14
00:01:17,020 --> 00:01:21,780
I don't remember what Liam said, Adam didn't say anything, Austin said they wanted to start
15
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:22,780
running.
16
00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:24,100
Don't know if he did that either.
17
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:28,180
So we'll have to catch up with them at some point to talk about that.
18
00:01:28,180 --> 00:01:30,500
But I started drawing.
19
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:38,540
I decided that I'm going to draw for 365 days and see what results I can yield out of that.
20
00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:45,060
I have no artistic talent whatsoever so I can change a lot from the beginning.
21
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:50,260
I'm not watching any tutorials for a little bit and hopefully that might help me.
22
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:54,180
So yeah, I'm just going off of a baseline for what I can do now and then at the end
23
00:01:54,180 --> 00:02:00,020
of the year I'll look at all my sketches that I had done at the beginning of the year and
24
00:02:00,020 --> 00:02:05,240
I'll try to make, I'll improve on them and I'll, you know, like I have a bunch of designs
25
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,140
on my head of what I'm trying to do and maybe it'll be better.
26
00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:12,140
Who knows?
27
00:02:12,140 --> 00:02:13,140
Not me.
28
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:15,340
We'll just have to wait and see what comes out of that.
29
00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:19,660
Alright now that I finished with all that useless bullshit, do you guys want to hear
30
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:21,900
some fucking facts?
31
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:29,340
Alright, I decided the other day I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw something about
32
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:35,760
the least educated states in the United States and I was like, oh I wonder what they are.
33
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,900
So I have a list by World Population Review and the bottom 10 states are from a little
34
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:44,820
more educated to the least educated.
35
00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:56,420
So it would be Texas, New Mexico, Kentucky, Nevada, Oklahoma, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana,
36
00:02:56,420 --> 00:03:00,340
Mississippi and then finally West Virginia.
37
00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:04,060
Which is, I think West Virginia is kind of surprising to me.
38
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:09,820
I always, I don't know, do you think it's because like Appalachia or something out there
39
00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:10,820
maybe?
40
00:03:10,820 --> 00:03:11,820
I don't know.
41
00:03:11,820 --> 00:03:15,540
Then I was starting to think, well what are the other states that like, what are other
42
00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:18,860
top 10s or bottom 10s you could think about?
43
00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:28,580
And I looked up the 10 most obese states and then I was like, I wonder if there's any correlation.
44
00:03:28,580 --> 00:03:37,300
So from the, these are the bottom 10 but from least to most obese would be Nebraska, Tennessee,
45
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:44,980
Indiana, Iowa, Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and West Virginia.
46
00:03:44,980 --> 00:03:50,700
So West Virginia is number one for both being the least educated state and the most obese
47
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:51,700
state.
48
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:56,920
But between those two lists, there are six states that are in both of them.
49
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,840
Maybe there's a correlation there.
50
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,840
Maybe there isn't.
51
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,740
Something to keep your eye on people out there.
52
00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:08,620
And then I was like, well obese states, ice cream.
53
00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:10,400
I love ice cream.
54
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,400
Everybody loves ice cream.
55
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,860
What are the top 10 most popular ice cream flavors out there?
56
00:04:16,860 --> 00:04:22,740
So number 10 is Neapolitan, which I think is a cop out answer by the way, because it's
57
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:25,860
literally just chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.
58
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:27,460
That's bullshit.
59
00:04:27,460 --> 00:04:29,060
I don't think that should count.
60
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:30,760
It's stupid.
61
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,980
Number nine is Moose Trax.
62
00:04:33,980 --> 00:04:35,680
Goated ice cream.
63
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,680
It's so fucking good.
64
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Then you have strawberry, which again, you hear it?
65
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,060
It's in fucking Neapolitan.
66
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:43,060
It's bullshit.
67
00:04:43,060 --> 00:04:47,580
Then you have number seven, which is birthday cake.
68
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:48,660
It's OK.
69
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:51,380
It's not the best, but it's OK.
70
00:04:51,380 --> 00:04:54,700
Number six is buttered pecan or pecan.
71
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:56,100
However the fuck you want to say it.
72
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:57,100
It's good.
73
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:58,420
It's not the best.
74
00:04:58,420 --> 00:05:02,500
Number six is definitely like a little too high for it.
75
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,380
Number five is chocolate chip cookie dough.
76
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:06,780
The fact that that's not higher is very surprising.
77
00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:11,660
I think it should definitely be way higher than it is right here.
78
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:14,460
That's a little bullshit in my opinion.
79
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:16,940
Then you got mint chocolate chip.
80
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:21,380
Totally fair placement in my opinion for mint chocolate chip.
81
00:05:21,380 --> 00:05:23,100
Everybody loves mint chocolate chip.
82
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:27,300
Even if you don't like mint chocolate chip, you really do.
83
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:28,740
You're just lying to yourself.
84
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:29,740
Just be honest.
85
00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:30,740
It's 20, 25.
86
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:31,740
Be honest with yourself.
87
00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:33,640
Look and find yourself.
88
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,060
Number three is cookies and cream.
89
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:39,420
I think that one should be swapped with chocolate chip cookie dough.
90
00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:42,620
I don't think it's as good as people say it is.
91
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:43,620
It's good.
92
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:45,620
It's just not that good.
93
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:50,860
The number two, obviously chocolate and number one is vanilla.
94
00:05:50,860 --> 00:05:54,860
Again with number 10 being Neapolitan, that's a cop out answer.
95
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:58,020
That's bullshit because all three of the flavors are in the top 10.
96
00:05:58,020 --> 00:06:01,220
Just get rid of that one and fucking swap it out.
97
00:06:01,220 --> 00:06:07,100
The only reason people buy Neapolitan ice cream is for birthday parties because some
98
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:11,580
people like that and some people like vanilla and some people like chocolate.
99
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:14,620
No, just fucking buy that one.
100
00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:16,420
Don't just buy the Neapolitan.
101
00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:18,140
Nobody fucking likes the strawberry.
102
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:20,980
Some people do, but it's stupid.
103
00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:21,980
I think it's a bad idea.
104
00:06:21,980 --> 00:06:27,700
Then I was like, OK, well, top 10 ice creams, what is ice cream?
105
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,300
It's a dessert, right?
106
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:31,300
It's a dessert.
107
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:37,580
Well, then I found an article by How Stuff Works from August 25th of 2023 that was like
108
00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:39,380
that it's the top.
109
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:42,580
It's the 10 most popular desserts in the United States.
110
00:06:42,580 --> 00:06:43,580
So we're going to go down that list.
111
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:45,100
This is just a full list.
112
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:50,300
My brain works in such a dumb way that you're we're now opening up the doors so you guys
113
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:51,300
can understand.
114
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:52,300
All right.
115
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:56,900
So top 10 desserts, number 10 cheesecake automatically.
116
00:06:56,900 --> 00:06:57,900
That bitch needs to be higher.
117
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:01,020
It needs to be like in the top five for sure.
118
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:02,020
Right.
119
00:07:02,020 --> 00:07:03,460
Then cupcakes is number nine.
120
00:07:03,460 --> 00:07:04,460
Reasonable.
121
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:05,460
I get it.
122
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:08,060
So there are bad cupcakes out there.
123
00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:09,940
I've had some bad fucking cupcakes.
124
00:07:09,940 --> 00:07:11,740
You guys are probably had some bad cupcakes.
125
00:07:11,740 --> 00:07:13,700
It all depends on is the frosting good?
126
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:14,700
No.
127
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:17,020
Is the is the cupcake itself like too dense?
128
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:21,260
You ever have like a too dense cupcake and it's like hard to chew through.
129
00:07:21,260 --> 00:07:25,900
It's like a cake that's been sitting out for six days and then you go to eat the cake and
130
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:30,100
you're like, I'm a fucking break my jaw trying to chew through this fucking thing.
131
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:32,700
There are bad cupcakes even if they come out fresh.
132
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:37,140
Number eight is I think is such a fucking stupid answer.
133
00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:38,140
It's jello.
134
00:07:38,140 --> 00:07:40,300
What was the last time any of us have had jello?
135
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:42,700
I couldn't even tell you the last time I had jello.
136
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:44,940
I don't think you even had a jello shot.
137
00:07:44,940 --> 00:07:46,420
It's stupid.
138
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:47,420
It's bad.
139
00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:48,420
Bad take.
140
00:07:48,420 --> 00:07:49,420
Number seven is carrot cake.
141
00:07:49,420 --> 00:07:51,380
It's my least favorite kind of cake.
142
00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:52,500
It's bad.
143
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:53,500
Bad take.
144
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:54,500
Number six.
145
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:55,500
Apple pie should be higher.
146
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:56,500
It's top five.
147
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:58,140
Speaking of number five ice cream.
148
00:07:58,140 --> 00:07:59,620
We knew this was going to happen.
149
00:07:59,620 --> 00:08:00,620
Right.
150
00:08:00,620 --> 00:08:03,300
And then you got brownies is number four chocolate chip cookies.
151
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:04,300
Number three.
152
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:06,260
Number two is German chocolate cake.
153
00:08:06,260 --> 00:08:12,080
I don't think I have ever had a German chocolate cake in my entire life.
154
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,140
I don't know what made people think that this was a good idea.
155
00:08:16,140 --> 00:08:17,140
That was number two.
156
00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:18,140
Right.
157
00:08:18,140 --> 00:08:19,140
German chocolate cake.
158
00:08:19,140 --> 00:08:20,140
Fucking weird choice.
159
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:21,140
I don't get it.
160
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:22,140
I don't think I've had one.
161
00:08:22,140 --> 00:08:25,620
Do you think it's the same as like a black for it?
162
00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:26,620
What do they call it?
163
00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:28,420
Do you guys ever watch the Great British Break Off?
164
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:29,700
I love that show.
165
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:30,820
It's a great show.
166
00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:31,820
It's very happy.
167
00:08:31,820 --> 00:08:37,820
It's very good for a non-American competitive show because everyone's just so happy and
168
00:08:37,820 --> 00:08:40,660
like they support each other.
169
00:08:40,660 --> 00:08:45,900
It's very different than like Survivor or like the Amazing Eraser, the challenge.
170
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,700
I haven't actually watched the challenge, but I've watched the other two.
171
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:50,700
All right.
172
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:52,060
Number three, Fudge.
173
00:08:52,060 --> 00:08:53,780
I'm not a big chocolate guy.
174
00:08:53,780 --> 00:08:55,320
I don't like it.
175
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,320
It's not great.
176
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,320
I do like it.
177
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,780
It's just my neighbor growing up used to work for Lint, Lint chocolate.
178
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:06,860
So I was able to get a bunch of free chocolate as like a younger kid.
179
00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:10,180
And I wore myself out so fast on chocolate.
180
00:09:10,180 --> 00:09:11,180
It's not that I don't like it.
181
00:09:11,180 --> 00:09:12,180
I'm just over it.
182
00:09:12,180 --> 00:09:13,180
I wish I liked it more.
183
00:09:13,180 --> 00:09:15,020
I'll just leave it at that.
184
00:09:15,020 --> 00:09:16,260
It's just not as good.
185
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:17,260
Whatever.
186
00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:18,260
Fudge.
187
00:09:18,260 --> 00:09:19,460
I bullshit take number one.
188
00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:20,460
Stupid.
189
00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:21,460
Bad call.
190
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:23,180
Bad call.
191
00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:29,380
So we went from obesity to least educated to or sorry, least educated to obesity to
192
00:09:29,380 --> 00:09:30,780
ice cream to desserts.
193
00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:33,020
Well, where would we go next from that?
194
00:09:33,020 --> 00:09:35,320
The healthiest states in the United States.
195
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:43,220
Number 10 would be Vermont, Colorado, nine, Maryland, eight, Rhode Island, seven, Connecticut,
196
00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:50,300
six, New York, five, California, four, Hawaii, three, New Jersey, two.
197
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:52,540
And Massachusetts is number one.
198
00:09:52,540 --> 00:09:53,620
That's not really surprising.
199
00:09:53,620 --> 00:10:00,340
The Northeast tends to lead not only just with like healthiest stuff, but like angriest.
200
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:04,220
But they also are usually in the top 10 for highest educated states.
201
00:10:04,220 --> 00:10:07,260
So again, might be a correlation.
202
00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:08,260
Keep that in mind.
203
00:10:08,260 --> 00:10:16,300
Well, being healthy, right, leads me to this last one by Betway Insider from an article
204
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:19,380
posted in August of twenty four.
205
00:10:19,380 --> 00:10:23,740
And I was wondering, well, what state produces the most athletes?
206
00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:30,660
And just from a cursory glance from like the like the top four major sports in America,
207
00:10:30,660 --> 00:10:35,460
which would be obviously baseball, football, basketball and hockey, California just fucking
208
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:36,460
dominates.
209
00:10:36,460 --> 00:10:40,700
They're number one for producing the most baseball and basketball players, number two
210
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:44,900
for football and number six for hockey.
211
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:47,540
Then you have New York is up there pretty high for the rest.
212
00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:49,660
Like baseball is number three.
213
00:10:49,660 --> 00:10:51,780
It's number two for basketball.
214
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:55,740
It's number four for hockey and it's number nine for football.
215
00:10:55,740 --> 00:10:58,140
It's a pretty it's a New York is up there.
216
00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:02,700
The hockey is an interesting one because it's like all the super cold states, which is funny,
217
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:05,340
not super cold, but they're colder like Minnesota.
218
00:11:05,340 --> 00:11:06,940
Obviously Massachusetts.
219
00:11:06,940 --> 00:11:07,940
Yes.
220
00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:09,260
Michigan, of course.
221
00:11:09,260 --> 00:11:10,260
New York.
222
00:11:10,260 --> 00:11:11,260
OK.
223
00:11:11,260 --> 00:11:12,260
Illinois.
224
00:11:12,260 --> 00:11:13,260
Yeah.
225
00:11:13,260 --> 00:11:14,260
California.
226
00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:15,260
Wisconsin.
227
00:11:15,260 --> 00:11:16,260
Makes sense.
228
00:11:16,260 --> 00:11:17,260
Pennsylvania.
229
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:18,260
New York.
230
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:19,260
OK.
231
00:11:19,260 --> 00:11:20,260
And then Connecticut football.
232
00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:21,260
No fucking surprise, right?
233
00:11:21,260 --> 00:11:24,780
It's Texas is the number one producing state.
234
00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:28,220
It's all southern states except for Michigan and New York.
235
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:30,020
It's all southern states.
236
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:37,700
That's Texas, California, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Georgia, Louisiana, New York and
237
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:38,700
Michigan.
238
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:39,700
It's just fascinating.
239
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,460
And then I was just like reading through the rest of it a little a little bit ago and fuck.
240
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,660
I lost my train of thought.
241
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:48,820
It's the most popular athletes in America by sport.
242
00:11:48,820 --> 00:11:51,180
So be like Mike Trout is number one for baseball.
243
00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:52,820
LeBron James for basketball.
244
00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:57,980
Odell Beckham Jr. is number one for football, which I think is honestly kind of bullshit.
245
00:11:57,980 --> 00:11:59,260
I don't think that's right whatsoever.
246
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:03,020
Yeah, he's a good athlete, but he's like kind of past his prime at this point.
247
00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:04,460
He barely played at all this year.
248
00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:06,500
He was injured most of the fucking season.
249
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:08,700
And then Ovechkin for hockey.
250
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:10,820
I would think that would be Connor McDavid, who is number two.
251
00:12:10,820 --> 00:12:12,420
That's just that's just me, though.
252
00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:14,140
But yeah, that's all I got.
253
00:12:14,140 --> 00:12:19,340
I was just, you know, hoping to rant and rave a little bit towards you guys for, you know,
254
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:22,940
some form of entertainment and learnedness.
255
00:12:22,940 --> 00:12:25,460
We should be back in a couple of weeks with actual upsets.
256
00:12:25,460 --> 00:12:30,500
But in the time being, we might I might just keep doing this because I thought it was fun.
257
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:31,860
I think it's a little stupid.
258
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:37,500
But hey, it's 15 minutes that you guys get to listen to something as opposed to nothing.
259
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,460
Sorry that this came out a little bit further in the day.
260
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:42,900
I didn't really think about doing this until this morning.
261
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:44,660
So I love all of you.
262
00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:45,660
Good luck.
263
00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:46,660
Have fun.
264
00:12:46,660 --> 00:12:47,660
Enjoy.
265
00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:49,100
And I'll talk to you less next time.
266
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:52,540
Also, don't forget, please just tell people about the podcast.
267
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:55,980
Email us at Cody's real email at Gmail dot com.
268
00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:57,980
And as Adam loves to do.
269
00:12:57,980 --> 00:13:01,700
Rate, share, subscribe, whatever, whatever.
270
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:02,700
What does Adam say?
271
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:03,700
I don't know.
272
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:05,020
But yeah, thanks for listening, guys.
273
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:06,620
Have a great day.
274
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:07,620
See you next week.
275
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:08,620
Bye.
276
00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:14,260
You've been listening to Learner's Permit.
277
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:16,840
Thanks for listening.
278
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,260
We hope you learned something today.
279
00:13:21,260 --> 00:13:42,300
Until next time, goodbye.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,820
Right now
2
00:00:12,820 --> 00:00:39,940
Hello and welcome to Learners Permit Podcast, a show where four friends lock themselves
3
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:43,380
in a room and forcefully educate each other on the subjects they're most passionate about.
4
00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:47,540
Each week, one host selects a topic to educate the other three about in hopes of broadening
5
00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:49,620
their willfully narrow horizons.
6
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:55,180
My name is Cody, I'm flying solo today because everybody else is busy and it's fucking 11.19
7
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:56,980
on a Thursday so they're working.
8
00:00:56,980 --> 00:00:58,420
How's everybody doing?
9
00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:00,580
I hope all of you are doing great.
10
00:01:00,580 --> 00:01:03,620
Happy New Year, I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
11
00:01:03,620 --> 00:01:09,580
We did talk about that at Nausium for about three weeks so I am so sorry.
12
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:15,020
But with that being said, New Year's resolutions, I hope everyone's staying true so far to what
13
00:01:15,020 --> 00:01:17,020
they set out to do.
14
00:01:17,020 --> 00:01:21,780
I don't remember what Liam said, Adam didn't say anything, Austin said they wanted to start
15
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:22,780
running.
16
00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:24,100
Don't know if he did that either.
17
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:28,180
So we'll have to catch up with them at some point to talk about that.
18
00:01:28,180 --> 00:01:30,500
But I started drawing.
19
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:38,540
I decided that I'm going to draw for 365 days and see what results I can yield out of that.
20
00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:45,060
I have no artistic talent whatsoever so I can change a lot from the beginning.
21
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:50,260
I'm not watching any tutorials for a little bit and hopefully that might help me.
22
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:54,180
So yeah, I'm just going off of a baseline for what I can do now and then at the end
23
00:01:54,180 --> 00:02:00,020
of the year I'll look at all my sketches that I had done at the beginning of the year and
24
00:02:00,020 --> 00:02:05,240
I'll try to make, I'll improve on them and I'll, you know, like I have a bunch of designs
25
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,140
on my head of what I'm trying to do and maybe it'll be better.
26
00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:12,140
Who knows?
27
00:02:12,140 --> 00:02:13,140
Not me.
28
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:15,340
We'll just have to wait and see what comes out of that.
29
00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:19,660
Alright now that I finished with all that useless bullshit, do you guys want to hear
30
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:21,900
some fucking facts?
31
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:29,340
Alright, I decided the other day I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw something about
32
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:35,760
the least educated states in the United States and I was like, oh I wonder what they are.
33
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,900
So I have a list by World Population Review and the bottom 10 states are from a little
34
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:44,820
more educated to the least educated.
35
00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:56,420
So it would be Texas, New Mexico, Kentucky, Nevada, Oklahoma, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana,
36
00:02:56,420 --> 00:03:00,340
Mississippi and then finally West Virginia.
37
00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:04,060
Which is, I think West Virginia is kind of surprising to me.
38
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:09,820
I always, I don't know, do you think it's because like Appalachia or something out there
39
00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:10,820
maybe?
40
00:03:10,820 --> 00:03:11,820
I don't know.
41
00:03:11,820 --> 00:03:15,540
Then I was starting to think, well what are the other states that like, what are other
42
00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:18,860
top 10s or bottom 10s you could think about?
43
00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:28,580
And I looked up the 10 most obese states and then I was like, I wonder if there's any correlation.
44
00:03:28,580 --> 00:03:37,300
So from the, these are the bottom 10 but from least to most obese would be Nebraska, Tennessee,
45
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:44,980
Indiana, Iowa, Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and West Virginia.
46
00:03:44,980 --> 00:03:50,700
So West Virginia is number one for both being the least educated state and the most obese
47
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:51,700
state.
48
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:56,920
But between those two lists, there are six states that are in both of them.
49
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,840
Maybe there's a correlation there.
50
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,840
Maybe there isn't.
51
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,740
Something to keep your eye on people out there.
52
00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:08,620
And then I was like, well obese states, ice cream.
53
00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:10,400
I love ice cream.
54
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,400
Everybody loves ice cream.
55
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,860
What are the top 10 most popular ice cream flavors out there?
56
00:04:16,860 --> 00:04:22,740
So number 10 is Neapolitan, which I think is a cop out answer by the way, because it's
57
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:25,860
literally just chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.
58
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:27,460
That's bullshit.
59
00:04:27,460 --> 00:04:29,060
I don't think that should count.
60
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:30,760
It's stupid.
61
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,980
Number nine is Moose Trax.
62
00:04:33,980 --> 00:04:35,680
Goated ice cream.
63
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,680
It's so fucking good.
64
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Then you have strawberry, which again, you hear it?
65
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,060
It's in fucking Neapolitan.
66
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:43,060
It's bullshit.
67
00:04:43,060 --> 00:04:47,580
Then you have number seven, which is birthday cake.
68
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:48,660
It's OK.
69
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:51,380
It's not the best, but it's OK.
70
00:04:51,380 --> 00:04:54,700
Number six is buttered pecan or pecan.
71
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:56,100
However the fuck you want to say it.
72
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:57,100
It's good.
73
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:58,420
It's not the best.
74
00:04:58,420 --> 00:05:02,500
Number six is definitely like a little too high for it.
75
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,380
Number five is chocolate chip cookie dough.
76
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:06,780
The fact that that's not higher is very surprising.
77
00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:11,660
I think it should definitely be way higher than it is right here.
78
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:14,460
That's a little bullshit in my opinion.
79
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:16,940
Then you got mint chocolate chip.
80
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:21,380
Totally fair placement in my opinion for mint chocolate chip.
81
00:05:21,380 --> 00:05:23,100
Everybody loves mint chocolate chip.
82
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:27,300
Even if you don't like mint chocolate chip, you really do.
83
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:28,740
You're just lying to yourself.
84
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:29,740
Just be honest.
85
00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:30,740
It's 20, 25.
86
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:31,740
Be honest with yourself.
87
00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:33,640
Look and find yourself.
88
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,060
Number three is cookies and cream.
89
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:39,420
I think that one should be swapped with chocolate chip cookie dough.
90
00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:42,620
I don't think it's as good as people say it is.
91
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:43,620
It's good.
92
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:45,620
It's just not that good.
93
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:50,860
The number two, obviously chocolate and number one is vanilla.
94
00:05:50,860 --> 00:05:54,860
Again with number 10 being Neapolitan, that's a cop out answer.
95
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:58,020
That's bullshit because all three of the flavors are in the top 10.
96
00:05:58,020 --> 00:06:01,220
Just get rid of that one and fucking swap it out.
97
00:06:01,220 --> 00:06:07,100
The only reason people buy Neapolitan ice cream is for birthday parties because some
98
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:11,580
people like that and some people like vanilla and some people like chocolate.
99
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:14,620
No, just fucking buy that one.
100
00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:16,420
Don't just buy the Neapolitan.
101
00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:18,140
Nobody fucking likes the strawberry.
102
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:20,980
Some people do, but it's stupid.
103
00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:21,980
I think it's a bad idea.
104
00:06:21,980 --> 00:06:27,700
Then I was like, OK, well, top 10 ice creams, what is ice cream?
105
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,300
It's a dessert, right?
106
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:31,300
It's a dessert.
107
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:37,580
Well, then I found an article by How Stuff Works from August 25th of 2023 that was like
108
00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:39,380
that it's the top.
109
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:42,580
It's the 10 most popular desserts in the United States.
110
00:06:42,580 --> 00:06:43,580
So we're going to go down that list.
111
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:45,100
This is just a full list.
112
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:50,300
My brain works in such a dumb way that you're we're now opening up the doors so you guys
113
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:51,300
can understand.
114
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:52,300
All right.
115
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:56,900
So top 10 desserts, number 10 cheesecake automatically.
116
00:06:56,900 --> 00:06:57,900
That bitch needs to be higher.
117
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:01,020
It needs to be like in the top five for sure.
118
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:02,020
Right.
119
00:07:02,020 --> 00:07:03,460
Then cupcakes is number nine.
120
00:07:03,460 --> 00:07:04,460
Reasonable.
121
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:05,460
I get it.
122
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:08,060
So there are bad cupcakes out there.
123
00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:09,940
I've had some bad fucking cupcakes.
124
00:07:09,940 --> 00:07:11,740
You guys are probably had some bad cupcakes.
125
00:07:11,740 --> 00:07:13,700
It all depends on is the frosting good?
126
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:14,700
No.
127
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:17,020
Is the is the cupcake itself like too dense?
128
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:21,260
You ever have like a too dense cupcake and it's like hard to chew through.
129
00:07:21,260 --> 00:07:25,900
It's like a cake that's been sitting out for six days and then you go to eat the cake and
130
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:30,100
you're like, I'm a fucking break my jaw trying to chew through this fucking thing.
131
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:32,700
There are bad cupcakes even if they come out fresh.
132
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:37,140
Number eight is I think is such a fucking stupid answer.
133
00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:38,140
It's jello.
134
00:07:38,140 --> 00:07:40,300
What was the last time any of us have had jello?
135
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:42,700
I couldn't even tell you the last time I had jello.
136
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:44,940
I don't think you even had a jello shot.
137
00:07:44,940 --> 00:07:46,420
It's stupid.
138
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:47,420
It's bad.
139
00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:48,420
Bad take.
140
00:07:48,420 --> 00:07:49,420
Number seven is carrot cake.
141
00:07:49,420 --> 00:07:51,380
It's my least favorite kind of cake.
142
00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:52,500
It's bad.
143
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:53,500
Bad take.
144
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:54,500
Number six.
145
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:55,500
Apple pie should be higher.
146
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:56,500
It's top five.
147
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:58,140
Speaking of number five ice cream.
148
00:07:58,140 --> 00:07:59,620
We knew this was going to happen.
149
00:07:59,620 --> 00:08:00,620
Right.
150
00:08:00,620 --> 00:08:03,300
And then you got brownies is number four chocolate chip cookies.
151
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:04,300
Number three.
152
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:06,260
Number two is German chocolate cake.
153
00:08:06,260 --> 00:08:12,080
I don't think I have ever had a German chocolate cake in my entire life.
154
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,140
I don't know what made people think that this was a good idea.
155
00:08:16,140 --> 00:08:17,140
That was number two.
156
00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:18,140
Right.
157
00:08:18,140 --> 00:08:19,140
German chocolate cake.
158
00:08:19,140 --> 00:08:20,140
Fucking weird choice.
159
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:21,140
I don't get it.
160
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:22,140
I don't think I've had one.
161
00:08:22,140 --> 00:08:25,620
Do you think it's the same as like a black for it?
162
00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:26,620
What do they call it?
163
00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:28,420
Do you guys ever watch the Great British Break Off?
164
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:29,700
I love that show.
165
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:30,820
It's a great show.
166
00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:31,820
It's very happy.
167
00:08:31,820 --> 00:08:37,820
It's very good for a non-American competitive show because everyone's just so happy and
168
00:08:37,820 --> 00:08:40,660
like they support each other.
169
00:08:40,660 --> 00:08:45,900
It's very different than like Survivor or like the Amazing Eraser, the challenge.
170
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,700
I haven't actually watched the challenge, but I've watched the other two.
171
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:50,700
All right.
172
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:52,060
Number three, Fudge.
173
00:08:52,060 --> 00:08:53,780
I'm not a big chocolate guy.
174
00:08:53,780 --> 00:08:55,320
I don't like it.
175
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,320
It's not great.
176
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,320
I do like it.
177
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,780
It's just my neighbor growing up used to work for Lint, Lint chocolate.
178
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:06,860
So I was able to get a bunch of free chocolate as like a younger kid.
179
00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:10,180
And I wore myself out so fast on chocolate.
180
00:09:10,180 --> 00:09:11,180
It's not that I don't like it.
181
00:09:11,180 --> 00:09:12,180
I'm just over it.
182
00:09:12,180 --> 00:09:13,180
I wish I liked it more.
183
00:09:13,180 --> 00:09:15,020
I'll just leave it at that.
184
00:09:15,020 --> 00:09:16,260
It's just not as good.
185
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:17,260
Whatever.
186
00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:18,260
Fudge.
187
00:09:18,260 --> 00:09:19,460
I bullshit take number one.
188
00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:20,460
Stupid.
189
00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:21,460
Bad call.
190
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:23,180
Bad call.
191
00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:29,380
So we went from obesity to least educated to or sorry, least educated to obesity to
192
00:09:29,380 --> 00:09:30,780
ice cream to desserts.
193
00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:33,020
Well, where would we go next from that?
194
00:09:33,020 --> 00:09:35,320
The healthiest states in the United States.
195
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:43,220
Number 10 would be Vermont, Colorado, nine, Maryland, eight, Rhode Island, seven, Connecticut,
196
00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:50,300
six, New York, five, California, four, Hawaii, three, New Jersey, two.
197
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:52,540
And Massachusetts is number one.
198
00:09:52,540 --> 00:09:53,620
That's not really surprising.
199
00:09:53,620 --> 00:10:00,340
The Northeast tends to lead not only just with like healthiest stuff, but like angriest.
200
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:04,220
But they also are usually in the top 10 for highest educated states.
201
00:10:04,220 --> 00:10:07,260
So again, might be a correlation.
202
00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:08,260
Keep that in mind.
203
00:10:08,260 --> 00:10:16,300
Well, being healthy, right, leads me to this last one by Betway Insider from an article
204
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:19,380
posted in August of twenty four.
205
00:10:19,380 --> 00:10:23,740
And I was wondering, well, what state produces the most athletes?
206
00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:30,660
And just from a cursory glance from like the like the top four major sports in America,
207
00:10:30,660 --> 00:10:35,460
which would be obviously baseball, football, basketball and hockey, California just fucking
208
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:36,460
dominates.
209
00:10:36,460 --> 00:10:40,700
They're number one for producing the most baseball and basketball players, number two
210
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:44,900
for football and number six for hockey.
211
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:47,540
Then you have New York is up there pretty high for the rest.
212
00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:49,660
Like baseball is number three.
213
00:10:49,660 --> 00:10:51,780
It's number two for basketball.
214
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:55,740
It's number four for hockey and it's number nine for football.
215
00:10:55,740 --> 00:10:58,140
It's a pretty it's a New York is up there.
216
00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:02,700
The hockey is an interesting one because it's like all the super cold states, which is funny,
217
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:05,340
not super cold, but they're colder like Minnesota.
218
00:11:05,340 --> 00:11:06,940
Obviously Massachusetts.
219
00:11:06,940 --> 00:11:07,940
Yes.
220
00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:09,260
Michigan, of course.
221
00:11:09,260 --> 00:11:10,260
New York.
222
00:11:10,260 --> 00:11:11,260
OK.
223
00:11:11,260 --> 00:11:12,260
Illinois.
224
00:11:12,260 --> 00:11:13,260
Yeah.
225
00:11:13,260 --> 00:11:14,260
California.
226
00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:15,260
Wisconsin.
227
00:11:15,260 --> 00:11:16,260
Makes sense.
228
00:11:16,260 --> 00:11:17,260
Pennsylvania.
229
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:18,260
New York.
230
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:19,260
OK.
231
00:11:19,260 --> 00:11:20,260
And then Connecticut football.
232
00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:21,260
No fucking surprise, right?
233
00:11:21,260 --> 00:11:24,780
It's Texas is the number one producing state.
234
00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:28,220
It's all southern states except for Michigan and New York.
235
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:30,020
It's all southern states.
236
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:37,700
That's Texas, California, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Georgia, Louisiana, New York and
237
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:38,700
Michigan.
238
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:39,700
It's just fascinating.
239
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,460
And then I was just like reading through the rest of it a little a little bit ago and fuck.
240
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,660
I lost my train of thought.
241
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:48,820
It's the most popular athletes in America by sport.
242
00:11:48,820 --> 00:11:51,180
So be like Mike Trout is number one for baseball.
243
00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:52,820
LeBron James for basketball.
244
00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:57,980
Odell Beckham Jr. is number one for football, which I think is honestly kind of bullshit.
245
00:11:57,980 --> 00:11:59,260
I don't think that's right whatsoever.
246
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:03,020
Yeah, he's a good athlete, but he's like kind of past his prime at this point.
247
00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:04,460
He barely played at all this year.
248
00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:06,500
He was injured most of the fucking season.
249
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:08,700
And then Ovechkin for hockey.
250
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:10,820
I would think that would be Connor McDavid, who is number two.
251
00:12:10,820 --> 00:12:12,420
That's just that's just me, though.
252
00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:14,140
But yeah, that's all I got.
253
00:12:14,140 --> 00:12:19,340
I was just, you know, hoping to rant and rave a little bit towards you guys for, you know,
254
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:22,940
some form of entertainment and learnedness.
255
00:12:22,940 --> 00:12:25,460
We should be back in a couple of weeks with actual upsets.
256
00:12:25,460 --> 00:12:30,500
But in the time being, we might I might just keep doing this because I thought it was fun.
257
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:31,860
I think it's a little stupid.
258
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:37,500
But hey, it's 15 minutes that you guys get to listen to something as opposed to nothing.
259
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,460
Sorry that this came out a little bit further in the day.
260
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:42,900
I didn't really think about doing this until this morning.
261
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:44,660
So I love all of you.
262
00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:45,660
Good luck.
263
00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:46,660
Have fun.
264
00:12:46,660 --> 00:12:47,660
Enjoy.
265
00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:49,100
And I'll talk to you less next time.
266
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:52,540
Also, don't forget, please just tell people about the podcast.
267
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:55,980
Email us at Cody's real email at Gmail dot com.
268
00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:57,980
And as Adam loves to do.
269
00:12:57,980 --> 00:13:01,700
Rate, share, subscribe, whatever, whatever.
270
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:02,700
What does Adam say?
271
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:03,700
I don't know.
272
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:05,020
But yeah, thanks for listening, guys.
273
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:06,620
Have a great day.
274
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:07,620
See you next week.
275
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:08,620
Bye.
276
00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:14,260
You've been listening to Learner's Permit.
277
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:16,840
Thanks for listening.
278
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,260
We hope you learned something today.
279
00:13:21,260 --> 00:13:42,300
Until next time, goodbye.
