Ben Silverio 0:40
Yes. Skynet is here, party people, that's the unfortunate reality of our situation. We're coming to you from the past that has been altered personalized

Ben Silverio 0:56
So many things can be said about what's going on right now, but we'll start with, hey, party people, welcome back to time to party. Thank you for joining us on this podcast where you know we're here and having a grand old time most of the time, even as the world burns. Luckily, we have friends that are really cool, like the incredible Rachel granted glass key. That's me. Thanks for joining us all month long while we talk about Terminator Genesis.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 1:29
I'm sorry
Speaker 1 1:34
if you don't know why Rachel's apologize and go back and listen to our second episode. Yeah. But also, here's a little synopsis from our friends IMDB. When John Connor, leader of the human resistance, sends Sergeant Kyle Reese, back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline, probably put a cast on that.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 2:01
Oh no, I wish I had left. I was bad.
Speaker 1 2:05
Ansel just No. Sold that like he's like, he said, he said it. He said that thing. Yep, that's he's so used to it. Well, if you have made it this far into the month. Party people, we are at our edutainment episode. This is the part where we share a very, very, very, very shallow dive on a topic that is inspired by the movie that we've been talking about all month. So if you've seen any of the Terminator movies, God, we could be talking about anything right now. Who even knows now, friends, was there something that you wanted to talk about but ultimately decided not to talk about today?
Ansel Burch 2:59
Oh, well, I think we should, well, Oh, do we want to? Do we want to say what we are going to talk about and then talk about the other options. Are we just talking about the ones that didn't make the cut? I
Speaker 1 3:11
was just going to go for the stuff that didn't make the cut first. Okay,
Ansel Burch 3:16
all right. I rejected microprocessors and biometric scanning.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 3:21
Oh, it has got real sciencey.
Ben Silverio 3:26
Really sciencey. How about you?
Rachel Granda-Gluski 3:30
I briefly stumbled down a tablet rabbit hole and then regretted that and came back out.
Speaker 1 3:39
That's funny, because I almost went with tablets. Also, I also almost went for the Golden Gate Bridge. Oh,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 3:51
but I demand now, I kind of wish I'd pick school busses. Would have
Speaker 1 3:57
been good, right? Yeah, let me Google school busses, all right. Party people. Now that you know what we didn't pick, let's get into our entertainment. Rachel, would you like to go first? Or would you like
Rachel Granda-Gluski 4:09
one of us to go first? You know what? One of you can go first? I'll save my
Ansel Burch 4:13
okay. So my dive is going to be incredibly shallow, because most of what there is to talk about on this topic is scientific mumbo jumbo that would not make for good radio. So I'll just preface that right now. But I want to start by saying magnets, right? They're basically magic. I was excited for this already. Oh, man, right. Nobody knows how magnets work. There's like, you know, particles that attract other particles. And that's, that's some wild shit by itself. So I wanted to talk about electromagnets. There are a lot of electromagnets in this movie that become very important. To the plot making any kind of sense towards the end, they really lean on the magnets are magic side of things for this film, none of them have a visible power source, yeah, with no visible power sources at all. What do the magnets do for the time travel device? Tough to say. Apparently, they have very good ones without it being done. We know that also because we know he's weak to magnets, another robot can wrap his arms in electromagnets and punch better,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 5:32
I guess, without being affected by said magnets. I think
Ansel Burch 5:35
is what I was supposed to get from that. Do we agree that's what was happening? I guess, yeah, they were very important, yes. And there were cables coming off of them that connected to the other magnets, which suggests that they were powered by something
Rachel Granda-Gluski 5:54
No the other magnet is that what that was, there was no separate power source. They were just little rings of magnets with wires connecting them to the other rings of magnets, yep, yes,
Ansel Burch 6:07
but there were also, there was a, like a pigtail wire that went off to nowhere, and I didn't. I just assumed that was supposed to plug into something, nope,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 6:18
because Kyle Reese grabs it when it's stuck to the side of the bus.
Ansel Burch 6:24
That's true, it is just a ring of magnets. I feel
Rachel Granda-Gluski 6:28
like would break his hand, but that's separate, shallow dive for another day. Yeah.
Ansel Burch 6:33
Anyway, so electromagnets. Electromagnets are super cool. When I was working at the Museum of Science and Industry, we did a couple demonstrations on electro demonstrations on electromagnets. They are absolutely wild, and they are something that has been around a lot longer than I would have thought. The first electromagnet was in 1820 in 1820 Hans Christian Orsted discovered that electric currents can create a magnetic field. And in the same year, a French scientist Andre Marie ampere, showed that iron could be magnetized by inserting it into one of those magnetic fields that I don't know that's pretty fascinating that, like all the way back in 1820 we were already figuring out electromagnets, and the 1820s into the 1830s were chock a block with discoveries around electromagnetism. It was a big period for that. I think it's probably a lot of how we got into radio discoveries and other transmission discoveries. Is all going to be around that electromagnetic spectrum and the field that that we were able to manipulate thanks to this discovery. So it makes sense that the 1820s is when that started. But is it is still I was very surprised. Electromagnetics and the magnetic domain theory dominated the 1820s up until 19 into the early 1900s and as early as 1920 we're starting to see magnetic theories of ferromagnetism influence quantum theory. So we're already seeing, you know, like high higher levels of physics get accessed through the lens of electromagnetism, and that is where I will stop that thought, because your eyes will go crossed.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 8:26
Yeah, you chose this one because it was less sciencey.
Ansel Burch 8:33
I picked this one because I when I looked at microprocessors, microprocessors and biometric scanning all had a lot more like companies that were trying to tell you how their thing happened and why their contribution to the science was important, as opposed to electromagnets, where all of those people are dead. So we can, kind of, we can be a little bit more objective about it, but electromagnets are commonly used in motors and generators and MRI machines. You see them a lot in magnetic locks nowadays, and hopefully someday here in the States, MagLev trains would be so nice to have, so nice you know,
Speaker 1 9:15
if only we had someone in charge who could see the value in something like that?
Ansel Burch 9:23
Did and he didn't finish it. Come on. I mean, that's true too. Where's train? Boy, Biden, you had one job, right?
Rachel Granda-Gluski 9:33
I miss Pete Buddha gigg, and he likes trains, yeah,
Ansel Burch 9:38
hey, if, if puted, if Bucha judge wanted to run, I would, I would be an easy sell. I think he's got some good points.
Speaker 1 9:46
He runs on the platform of train reform.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 9:49
I mean, I honestly the airplanes currently falling out of the sky. I would love some train reform. I love a train the
Speaker 1 9:58
coastal Starliner. Or starlighter that goes up and down the West Coast is just a gorgeous train. I
Rachel Granda-Gluski 10:04
bet it has always been like a bucket list item to take the train from Chicago to LA. Oh, yeah. And I mostly haven't done it because it is basically cost prohibitive, unless you want to ride in coach the entire time, which I don't want to
Speaker 1 10:21
do, yeah, but then it's only a couple 100 bucks, yeah, if you want,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 10:24
like a suite, though it's 3000 it's true.
Speaker 1 10:29
But those roomettes are pretty nice. They come with meals. We
Rachel Granda-Gluski 10:34
took a room we took a we did a roomette when we took the train from Chicago to New Orleans, which was a good time, yeah,
Ansel Burch 10:41
that seems like the way to do that.
Speaker 1 10:43
I took the train from Chicago to Memphis, and that was such a great time because I got to bring back all the bottles of whiskey that I wanted.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 10:53
Yes, hell yeah, that's another nice thing about a train. They're not
Speaker 1 10:56
going to stop you from bringing all the alcohol. Yep.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 11:01
No travel size, arguably
Ansel Burch 11:02
the point of them existing in the first place.
Speaker 1 11:05
Truly, I even took the train from New York to Chicago, and that was even kind of nice, going through all those mountains and being right by the lakes
Rachel Granda-Gluski 11:15
whenever I take, can I take the train home when I have to when I go visit my parents in Michigan, because there is a train directly to my hometown. Oh, nice.
Ansel Burch 11:25
I did have one last fun fact that I wanted to throw in about electromagnets in my very, very shallow dive. This is a useful piece of information, from me to you. Next time you hear someone trying to talk to you about a piece of your car or a piece of your computer, and they think they can just throw the word solenoid in there and confuse you. Solenoid just means electromagnet. It's the most common kind of electromagnet, the thing that creates the current, that's a solenoid. So there you go, go off and be less confused.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 11:58
Sounds like some type of like marine creature,
Ansel Burch 12:04
yes, the deep sea solenoid, yeah, yeah, seen for the first time.
Speaker 1 12:09
See, I thought it was similar to a selkie, you know, some kind of
Rachel Granda-Gluski 12:14
mythological creature, yeah, like a Z Yeah, on Mount Olympus, they fight the great so annoyed.
Speaker 1 12:24
I don't know why selki was the first mythical creature that came to mind, either, like a lot of letters in common,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 12:29
it's a good one. I like selfies
Ansel Burch 12:34
as mythical creatures go. Very Good Mythical Creatures,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 12:37
all right, I did smart devices. Oh, okay, cool, because of the lovely Genesis tablets linking all your devices together. And I went, I don't know anything about those, really, and they're such a part of our life now. So I looked up smart devices. The first smart device actually goes back to the 1960s Wow. It was called the echo four, and it was never commercially sold, but it was a like it was called the kitchen computer, and it was basically like a smart device that would help you, like, create shopping list and control your home's temperature and turn appliances on and off, and there was a separate kitchen computer developed, like, a year later that could store receipts. But, like, they never really sold. They were a little too, like, tech heavy, and they didn't market them well. And so they never actually went anywhere. But they were created, and things that people tried to do. Something else that came up that was really fascinating when I was looking up smart devices, was some of the earliest things that are technically considered smart devices are gerund technology, which is basically geriatric technology made to help senior citizens, which is basically the like, Life Alert is considered a really early smart device, because you could talk to it like, oh,
Unknown Speaker 14:14
yeah, I followed up,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 14:18
yeah, I've fallen and I can't get up. This is the exact quote from this article. And then we started seeing like actual, like smart homes. In like 1998 to the early 2000s we started getting more actual home automation and that type of thing. And then voice assistance, which I think, like Genesis is kind of weird, because they don't really tell you what it does. They kind of do, but they are really vague about it. It just like, links everything together. But it also has a little Android guy who talks to you. And so I looked up when all of the like, household. Assistance became popular, and the first one was originally invented in 1997 dragon, naturally speaking, became one of the first commercially available voice recognition softwares. I remember that one in 2011 we got Siri from Apple. In 2014 Amazon launched Alexa with the echo device, and then in 2016 Google debuted the Google Assistant. Who's your favorite? I mean, I really have only ever used Siri, but honestly, I always I didn't like it ever. So the only reason I use it now is for my smart watch, and it's really for one thing, which is to set a timer. I like to be able to while I'm cooking. I like to be able to go, Hey, Siri, set a timer for five minutes while this egg boils. So that kind of thing. I use mine for that a lot too. Yeah, that's pretty much the only thing, we don't own an Alexa. We don't own a google assistant or anything. I've always kind of found them creepy, which, given the current things they're doing, where now they can just record everything you're saying. I don't feel bad about
Speaker 1 16:15
I use my google assistant for two things, one to check the weather, even though look outside. And then the other thing is to play my Spotify playlist.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 16:26
I also ask Siri the weather a lot, yeah, especially because, like, when I first get up in the morning and I'm, like, trying to get the leash on the dog, like, I'm like, Hey, Siri, what's the weather? Is it raining? Like, what's the weather? I live in a garden unit, so you can't reliably look out the window and tell what's because I'm in the ground, but I also kind of got to do a smart like a smart home. I found a really cool article about smart homes, and, like, the first smart homes were way earlier than I had imagined. Like they started, they definitely started in like, the 1950s at World's Fair exhibits. But I think I read that, like the actual first, like, they were, it was a little bit earlier than that, like they were kind of dreaming this up in the 40s, and then stuff got, you know, there was, like, a big world event or something happening that kind of derailed certain scientific exploration as they focused on other things. So I
Ansel Burch 17:29
don't know what you could be referring to. Yeah, I
Rachel Granda-Gluski 17:32
have no idea, um, but yeah, it was a cool and one of the first, like, smart home devices too, was a thermostat. Like those were really the first things that people tried to like digitize. And it says the journey towards smart home technology began with basic yet impactful innovations among these, the invention of the thermostat stands as a pivotal moment in the history of home automation. And so they're even talking about the very earliest thermostats are still kind of considered like home, like smart homes, almost because even those, like old school dial ones like we had in my parents house growing up were, like, very revolutionary for their time. The fact that you could control your furnace from a completely separate room by turning a dial. Oh, yeah, I suppose, which is something I never would have considered, yeah. And the first patented electric room thermostat was invented in 1883 so that's how old they are. Wow. And, like, the first ones that I think we would really think of as thermostats were like, like, the early 1900s
Speaker 1 18:42
that's what I was definitely thinking of. Like, I didn't think 1800s but that's really cool. Yeah,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 18:53
yeah. I think this is kind of fascinating. This article, this article, I will say, does include a lot of things into home automation that I don't necessarily think we would necessarily think of as a smart home, but it does include things like electric ovens and dishwashers. And I was like, Oh, you kind of forget now, because those things are so common, they were really like, advanced time saving things for their like when they were originally invented,
Speaker 1 19:22
the dishwasher. You mean, that thing that I, that my my family, uses to dry all our dishes in
Rachel Granda-Gluski 19:32
don't even have a dishwasher? Oh, I do, and I love it. I mean, I also do, and I couldn't live without one anymore, but my parents still hand wash their dishes every night,
Speaker 1 19:42
the one time when Warrick was like, you know, you can use the dishwasher, right? And I'm like, Oh, my God, we can. I
Rachel Granda-Gluski 19:50
never had a dishwasher until I moved to Chicago. My first Chicago apartment had one, and I had to google how it worked. Yeah. Know, I didn't have one growing up, and I had no idea how a dishwasher worked, and I was living alone, so I didn't, like, have a roommate. I could ask to be like, show me your technology. I so I had to, like, Google it and be like, um, how do I turn on? I was also googling things like, Should you buy the liquid or the powder? Like, what's the difference? Does it matter? It does depending on the type of dishwasher. And then I had to google my type of dishwasher to figure out what to put in it.
Speaker 1 20:32
Yeah. Luckily, I had work to show me all those things, because I had never used it either. Wow. I like how
Rachel Granda-Gluski 20:39
Ansel grew up on a farm, and he's like, I know how dishwashers work.
Ansel Burch 20:44
We got one shortly before I moved away from the farm. We got a dishwasher put in
Speaker 1 20:50
Ansel is like, his name was Johnny. He was very nice, yeah.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 20:55
What are we talking about? Did he link to all of your other kitchen devices? Because, yeah, I enjoyed my little very shallow dive down, like smart homes and voice accessibility and all the kind of things that I were a lot older than, honestly, I expected them to be, which was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 21:18
That's super cool. Thanks for sharing, Rachel. I also love that Life
Rachel Granda-Gluski 21:21
Alert is considered a smart device. That was really, I was like, Really, wow.
Speaker 1 21:25
Honestly, I never would have thought about it, but it makes so much sense. Yeah,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 21:29
I never would have thought about it, either, but yeah, like, once you think about it, you're like, oh, yeah, okay, that makes sense. That might
Ansel Burch 21:37
be the best fact out of the lot. Does
Speaker 1 21:39
he know everybody makes fun of that commercial, but, like, it was actually kind of life saving technology. Oh
Ansel Burch 21:45
yeah. The commercials were hokey as hell, but the the actual device, incredible stuff. Oh yeah. I mean, in a day before cell phones, what a what a thing to have as a device that you could wear, yeah, that would call for help. Like, yeah, genius,
Speaker 1 22:02
we see you Life Alert. Hopefully we don't see you in our, you know, houses anytime soon,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 22:09
anytime soon. Well, my grandmother actually had a Life Alert for really time, but hers
Speaker 1 22:15
press a button. I guess it's my turn for entertainment. Uh, hopefully this shallow dive will inform you and educate you and entertain you and all that stuff, as you may remember, I did not do the Golden Gate Bridge, but I almost did. But my topic is actually inspired by the scene in which we see our heroes fighting with the evil Skynet John Connor on the Golden Gate Bridge. And if you recall, they're traveling by school bus. Oh, so I ridiculously chose school busses as my topic this month for edutainment. So again, shallow dive, bro,
Ansel Burch 23:06
I will say, I don't want to, I don't want to derail your shallow dive. But it's the one scene in which we get an actual plausible these peop this guy raised that girl moment when they get on the school bus and he reflexively tells her to put on her seat. Oh, yeah,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 23:21
that's right. Eric on our seat belt,
Ben Silverio 23:24
seat belt,
Ansel Burch 23:25
seat belt. Sorry, carry on. No, it's uh,
Speaker 1 23:32
just remembering Arnold's impression of Arnold. Yeah,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 23:37
he does a few Arnold's impressions of Arnold,
Ben Silverio 23:40
then they're all great.
Ansel Burch 23:43
Nobody does it better. Arguably, the
Speaker 1 23:45
modern school bus, as you may know today, had a bit of a preamble first. So the need for a vehicle to transport children to and from school came in 1852 when Massachusetts passed a law that mandated that children of a certain age must go to school. So along with that law, which soon spread to 31 states by 1900 also came with a way to get kids to the school. So originally they were horse drawn vehicles that were called school wagons, obviously, or which I thought was fun kid hacks.
Speaker 1 24:31
Now, I don't know about you, but when I heard about kid hacks, I was just thinking of some spunky kid on tick tock who was making videos
Rachel Granda-Gluski 24:38
I thought of like a weird new age mommy blogger, oh, my god, your kids went to a really dark place with
Speaker 1 24:50
that. That's actually a new horror movie from 824 kid hacks. A kid hacks
Rachel Granda-Gluski 24:56
such a good 824 film because it
Speaker 1 24:59
would. Teach you about the value of an education. This
Ansel Burch 25:03
is, this is my time traveler trivia coming in again, is it because of Hackney carriages?
Speaker 1 25:10
That's probably what it was. Yeah, because, you know, these early school busses, quote, unquote, were rickety and uncomfortable, but you know, or
Rachel Granda-Gluski 25:20
maybe the idea of like hacking is like hiking, isn't it, when you're but you're like, carrying stuff. Oh, I might be misconstruing things. I feel like I need to Urban Dictionary this. But
Speaker 1 25:37
just the phrase kid hacks, I thought was so cute.
Ansel Burch 25:42
Is that where hacking it comes from?
Unknown Speaker 25:43
Oh, maybe,
Ansel Burch 25:45
yeah, I think, as in, like, you can hack it,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 25:50
okay, yeah, no. Hacking is, like a type of is like a hiking term. Oh,
Speaker 1 25:58
look at that. Edutainment, ception. So from the kid hacks, the modern school bus is attributed to Ford dealership owner Albert Luce, senior in 1925 he upgraded the kid hack, or school wagon. I'm going to keep saying kid hack, because it sounds ridiculous, but yeah, starting in 1925 he made an upgrade by attaching a wooden body to a truck frame, almost to look like a trolley meets Model T. The one downside to his initial invention, though, was that it threatened to fall apart as it rattled on the pavements, you know, on these rural roads. So eventually he had to swap out. He added steel beneath the wooden body to give some stability. And then he eventually started to produce them with all steel bodies in 1935 because there was like an uptick of school bus accidents, so they were really starting to think of like ways to improve the safety.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 27:11
Wait, are we talking like actual vehicles at this point? Are these, of course, drawn? Nope.
Speaker 1 27:15
These are actual automobiles. Oh, dear. And the company that Lu started while making these busses was called Bluebird, which is the leading manufacturer of school busses today, wow. And since 1927 they have sold 550,000 school busses. Oh, my damn All right, like, only about 50,000 of those were made by hand by this guy. Probably, he's he's probably very busy. That's wild. Yeah, you didn't think I was going to Bluebird, did you?
Ansel Burch 27:54
I mean, I assumed Bluebeard would come up somewhere, but I to think of them as being, like the first one and just dominate the industry from that point forward. Oh, yeah. Like, Wow, good, good work. Bluebird, absolutely.
Speaker 1 28:06
And so now that's how the actual vehicle came about. But when you think of a school bus, I think one thing that comes to mind is the color. The yellow color, came from Frank sire in 1937 while they were looking into the safety of school busses because of all these freaking accidents, you know, he was trying to think of ways to make a school bus safer. So two years later, at a conference dedicated to improving school busses, Sire hung up paint samples on the wall and asked the attendees to pick a color for us school busses. And the winner was the bright yellow that we know today because it's the easiest color on which to read the vehicle's black lettering in the early morning, and therefore best for safety, the color is known, or was known as National School Bus Chrome, but it went on to be known as National School Bus glossy yellow. A federal law does not explicitly mandate that a school bus be painted yellow, but it is recommended as the best practice of safety. So that's the color they've gone with since 1939
Rachel Granda-Gluski 29:31
I think I'd always heard the like urban legend version of that, where it was that like yellow was the was like an easy color to see in most like weather conditions, whether it be like rain or fog or snow or like bright sunlight, it's still like easy to see yellow. And so that was like something I think I had heard about.
Ansel Burch 29:59
Yeah, that would have been my guess as well. Yeah, it's interesting that it's specifically so you can read the lettering.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 30:05
I also this is possibly another urban myth. But I also remember reading somewhere that I think one of the reasons why you don't see a lot of yellow cars is because they don't want them to distract from like you noticing school busses, and they don't want it to become like a common road feature, so they're just like a lot of automakers just don't make yellow cars, because even though it's a very safe noticeable color, they're like reserving it to protect the children. I don't know if that's true, but it does feel like something that could be accurate, and
Speaker 1 30:42
that would also track for Volkswagen to ignore that and paint all their beetles yellow.
Ansel Burch 30:52
What color are school busses in in Europe? I wonder, are they also
Unknown Speaker 30:57
question, I don't know.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 30:59
Are there like school busses in Europe in the same capacity. I
Ansel Burch 31:04
mean, probably not in the same capacity, but I mean
Rachel Granda-Gluski 31:08
because at least like every like British TV show I've ever watched, where they go to school, I think they just take, like an there's enough normal public
Ansel Burch 31:17
have enough regular public transit, take regular public transit to
Rachel Granda-Gluski 31:21
get to school. Same thing with like Japan, they just already have enough infrastructure that they don't need to, like, take a school bus,
Ansel Burch 31:29
I suppose, if you're gonna be all logical about
Rachel Granda-Gluski 31:33
it, did you guys take school busses to school?
Ben Silverio 31:36
I did not. I walked through the cemetery and then through the woods.
Ansel Burch 31:40
I was very lucky to be able to take a school bus to school, because our road just happened to be on so we we're out in the country, but our road was paved. The bus could come down the road that we lived on. I just had to walk a half mile down the driveway to get to the road, but we were on the school service line, so yes, I did get to take the bus later in my school career for, like, junior high, my grade school was just on the other side of the hill, so I didn't have to take the bus for that.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 32:20
Yeah, I never, I never took a school bus because I was within walk easy walking distance of my elementary school, and both my, uh, my middle school and my first high school were on the path that my mother already drove to work, so she would just drop me off because It was like a half block out of her way. And then my second high school was, once again, within walking distance. Yeah,
Speaker 1 32:47
if I was feeling lazy, I just used the regular public transportation bus because city, but yeah, usually I would just walk well. So my grade school was up the street, and then just a quick cut through the woods, more North was my high school, so more north through the cemetery and through the woods, across the train tracks.
Ansel Burch 33:13
Where are there woods in Philly?
Speaker 1 33:15
There's a lot of woods in Philly. You know, pens woods, Pennsylvania. That's what that means. Oh, okay,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 33:26
I'm from an arbor. We had trees everywhere.
Ben Silverio 33:30
Oh, there wasn't just a lot of ans. No,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 33:33
there were a lot of Arbor,
Speaker 1 33:38
just the one and just the one. And, fun fact, so the UK, the UK, Brazil, Australia, Chile, they all use yellow school busses like North America, but in Italy and Ukraine. And in Poland, they also use orange school busses. That
Ansel Burch 34:08
makes sense. But
Speaker 1 34:09
in Japan, they sometimes will use pastels for their busses and just put a bunch of cartoon characters on them.
Rachel Granda-Gluski 34:22
Cute. Japan. Yeah, tracks for them. Yep. If you had told me, like, if you'd phrased that differently, you'd be like, what country do you think does this?
Ansel Burch 34:33
Yeah? Oh, first guest Japan. Every time, yep.
Ben Silverio 34:37
Second guess Korea? Sure,
Rachel Granda-Gluski 34:39
yeah, it would have been Japan or Korea.
