Welcome to Beyond the Beauty, a podcast from My Heart Radio, I'm your host, Bobby Brown. I've been in the beauty industry for a long time and I've learned a lot. I have watched makeup, skincare and beauty change more than I ever could have imagined. This season on Beyond the Beauty, I'm exploring the beauty industry past and present. I'm reflecting on my own experiences and I'm talking to some of the biggest and brightest names in beauty today. Listen to the brand new season of Beyond the Beauty on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

Welcome to stuff you missed in History Class, A production of I Heart Radio. Happy Friday, I'm Tracy B. Wilson. So. Singsongy I'm Holly Fry. I don't know why I felt like I needed to sing a song. Maybe because it's Friday. I don't love it.

[00:01:20]

Friday feels the same as all the other days, so I don't know how we did our unearthed for the fall this week, which I went into it expecting to only find enough stuff for one episode because that was what happened last time.

[00:01:39]

And instead I once again had enough for two episodes and then had a list of things that didn't make it in. Did you have a favorite out of this one? I loved the ridiculousness of the Warren Harding exhumation story, like the way that some of the some of the coverage of that read was also clearly kind of amused. There was one article that had made no reference whatsoever of the possibility of it being on television. And then the next one that I read was very focused on the idea that it might be on television and how kind of needlessly absurd that was.

[00:02:23]

Warren G. Harding's burial place is not like. You know, just as a cemetery where you might just go in there and and dig out a coffin like it's a whole it's a whole tomb, like it's a whole process would be a whole thing that we'll see. We'll see how that goes.

[00:02:42]

I, I withheld my starwars insertion, OK, during the segment where we talked about Viking being a job and not a race or ethnicity, because it reminded me of the moment during season one of the Mandalorian, which we had just started season two on. When it is said it's a creed, not a race. Let's see. Yes. Yes.

[00:03:08]

It's been very confusing in the Star Wars community as well as real life for many people.

[00:03:15]

But I loved it. I also really love the one about the Viking helmet that everybody called a Viking helmet. And it's a strange relief that it was, in fact, a Viking helmet.

[00:03:24]

Yeah, it was really the Viking helmet, not like when I was a child. And so I grew up. I've said this before, hand out in the country. It's less it's less remote than it was when I was a kid.

[00:03:37]

But, you know, we were surrounded by farmland and pastureland and and there were other houses, but there was a lot that was more rural. And I remember finding a cow skull in the woods and just being sure it was a dinosaur because I was five.

[00:03:59]

So I'm glad that this Viking helmet was not the cow skull. That's really a dinosaur, not a dinosaur. Yeah. You know.

[00:04:06]

Well, and that's one of those things, right? I feel like in this case, obviously, it's been tracked in terms of like people calling it the Viking helmet and then them finally doing this. But there are so many instances that I find myself wondering about when we're doing research and we come across something and it's like, well, everyone said it was this.

[00:04:24]

Hmm. So it was that. And it's like, well, maybe. But people pick up a helmet and go Viking helmet without any other information whatsoever. So I was like, oh, this one worked out.

[00:04:37]

Yeah, yeah. One of the things that I came across while I was doing the research for this that I did not wind up putting in was a thing about whether the Norman conquest affected people's diets, because we know that the Norman conquest affected all kinds of things. Right. And this had looked at, I think, isotope analysis to figure out how people's diets had changed. And the reason that I did not put it into the episode was that one of the articles was like study shows Norman Conquest radically changed the diets of the British.

[00:05:22]

And then the other article was like, study shows Norman Conquest didn't affect diet of British much at all.

[00:05:29]

And I was like, OK, I can read the original paper, but also like it's a little more technical than I can really be. The person authoritatively resolving those two headlines really.

[00:05:47]

Did you accidentally stumble upon a scholarly rivalry? Maybe so. So I it's I don't know how long it's been since the last time I talked about how how I do this. I have a bunch of RSS feeds that I look at ideally on a regular basis. Sometimes time passes and I go, oh no, I have four hundred articles to look at, but I have all these RSS feeds and one of them is to a thing called Eureka Alert, which is where people publish their press releases about their findings.

[00:06:18]

And every time there is a thing like it's the Eureka Alerts section of my stuff, and it's got more than one paper about what is obviously the same study. I always like to imagine that there was a huge dramatic fight between the two teams of researchers and each of them saying, I'm going to do my own release.

[00:06:42]

Then look, we've seen it happen a million times. When we do the podcast, it comes up all the time, particularly in our scientific episodes. So I think you're completely justified in that little scholarly fanfiction, if nothing else. That is the way I can amuse myself sometimes while I am reading through lots and lots of articles.

[00:07:03]

That's perfection. Viking helmet. Yeah, it made me laugh that a thing on October 1st, you felt you had to defend as being part of part of the the Q three. Considering that this whole thing is my completely artificial construction on Earth prison arrest you, Tracy has on Earth time out. She's she's in big trouble, you guys. She included something from one day after the end of the quarter.

[00:07:42]

Well, another thing that was funny is that the thing that we ended part two with was the latest discovery of a sword in a lake. And literally this morning there was another article about another sword being pulled out of another lake, but this time by a what appeared to be a small, winsome child.

[00:08:00]

So I could see the child discovering the sword. You know, if I ever become like a crazy kid's millionaire, I think I'm just going to start planting swords in lakes for future generations. I think that's where some chunk of my mad money is going to be appropriated.

[00:08:25]

Sounds good, right? Like plan. Yeah.

[00:08:28]

I mean, I'll have to go through a million different like steps to make sure it would be really hard to trace it back to me because I don't want anyone to ever solve the mystery of this specific kind of sword and why it's found the world over.

[00:08:43]

And it's just that's my plan. If I become a millionaire one day. Okay. Sounds good. Sounds like a plan. This seems like a good place to wrap our behind the scenes.

[00:08:56]

I feel like we are a little punchier than usual this week. Kind of a kind of time, Mouche. Anyway, yeah, you'd like to write to us. We're in History podcast that I heart radio dot com. We hope you're enjoying the show. Whatever you've got coming up this weekend.

[00:09:14]

I hope it goes well. Stuff you missed in history class is the production of I Heart Radio for more podcasts from My Heart radio visit by her radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

Nearly 600 years after the invention of the printing press, the most important book in the history of the world has arrived, there might be overstating things, stuff you should know, an incomplete compendium of mostly interesting things.

[00:09:52]

It will change your life forever.

[00:09:54]

Well, that's not necessarily true. Most scientists agree that stuff you should know an incomplete compendium of mostly interesting things is proof that time travel is possible because that is the only way to explain how a book this impressive was possibly made and why stuff you should know. An incomplete compendium of mostly interesting things will regrow hair, whiten your teeth and improve your love life.

[00:10:22]

That's just not at all. Right.

[00:10:23]

Well, the love life part, maybe if you find someone who thinks smart is sexy stuff, you should know an incomplete compendium of mostly interesting things available for preorder. Now at stuff you should know Dotcom.

[00:10:37]

Now, that is true.
