  Speaker 1: Yeah, bad invention could be tasty? A bad invention, all.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Right, m The founding fathers founded.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: This country on religion. Oh I knew that that's not true.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were deists, meaning they believed
• 2:45
  in God but did not subscribe to any specific religion.
• 2:49
  George Washington was Episcopalian. John Adams was Unitarian. John Adams
• 2:54
  even claimed the government of the United States is not
• 2:57
  in any sense founded on the Christian religion. If there
• 3:01
  was any source of faith or influence on the founding
• 3:03
  fathers in the country, it would have been that of Deism.
• 3:06
  So just a general general we think God is a
• 3:09
  thing and uh, but but not any specific Christian.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one I knew. The worst inventions of all
• 3:17
  time pay toilets, Uh yeah, just you know what that is.
• 3:22
  You don't see him much. No, but you used to. Ye,
• 3:25
  you gotta pay to get into the toilet.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Washington had wooden teeth.

  Speaker 3: That is not true.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: They were made like of ivory or ars.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Who or even dentures at the time were either made
• 3:38
  from ivory or.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Dead people's teeth, people's teeth and you put in your mouth,
• 3:46
  well they clean them off.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Uh. Smellovision, one of the worst inventions of
• 3:54
  all time did not last. I don't know it didn't
• 3:57
  last because it was so stupid, but they they would
• 4:01
  like a theater in a movie theater, and whenever, like
• 4:05
  somebody be baking bread, they'd figure out a way to
• 4:07
  swat the smell of baking bread over the was stupid.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, they refined it later for some of these
• 4:13
  Disney attractions.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: But Paul Revere riding his horse shouting the British are
• 4:19
  coming the.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Bish one of by Land, two up by Sea, that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Did not happen.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: The idea of Paul Revere riding through the streets yelling
• 4:25
  the British are coming, it makes for a good story,
• 4:28
  but it didn't happen. First of all, the colonies were
• 4:32
  technically British, so it wouldn't make sense to ride through
• 4:34
  the town going the.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: British or already hear.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: What he did do, though, was ride through towns and
• 4:40
  whispering to people. By the way, what he said was
• 4:45
  the regulars are coming. Regulars were the.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So he was just so this is just a matter
• 4:51
  of being misquoted.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and but we all have the vision of him yelling,
• 4:55
  oh yeah, no, he's said, hey, by the way.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Fake ponytails among the worst inventions of all time. Hmmm,
• 5:04
  fake ponytails for ponies? No, for people, for people, Yes,
• 5:09
  it says. Really, if you're going to use a fake ponytail,
• 5:14
  it doesn't matter how much you spend on it. People
• 5:17
  can tell it's fake. Hmm.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Cinderella wore glass slippers.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Well, wellre not real.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Well, Disney films don't really put facts high on the
• 5:29
  list when they're making a movie. If you ever thought
• 5:31
  Cinderella's glass slippers seem very impractical, you be right. There's
• 5:35
  tons of variations on the fairy tale, but the earliest
• 5:39
  describes Cinderella wearing slippers made of white squirrel fur, and
• 5:43
  that sounds just cozy and harm The tale was rewritten
• 5:46
  in sixteen ninety seven, replacing the word there with their,
• 5:51
  which sounds very similar. But there means glass ah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And that's worthy. So it was a mistake.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad they did that because I would have
• 5:59
  just when I was, I would have just been upset
• 6:01
  about the poor squirrels who gave their fur for her slippers.
• 6:05
  Here's another worst invention. Head on you remember this look
• 6:09
  like a chapstick big head. A chapstick head on claim
• 6:13
  to be able to relieve headaches by just rubbing it
• 6:16
  on your forehead.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Remember that?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Better Business Bureau says head On failed to
• 6:22
  provide any reliable testing to support its claims. Many doctors
• 6:25
  agreed there was no scientific basis that it cured headaches.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It was almost like icy hot.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: The company claimed that there was a homeopathic benefit. Yeah,
• 6:33
  still head On commercials were more likely to prompt a
• 6:35
  headache than to cure one.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Sounds to me like, with the way things are going
• 6:39
  today the business, we could bring head On back. Sure,
• 6:43
  Oh yeah, and it would succeed just fine.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: It's radio from Hell with another list because people love
• 6:50
  a good list X ninety six.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: All you'd need is the proper TikTok influencer to sell
• 6:55
  it and you'd be fine.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I bought that.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Don't want im aloudy get that
