Podcasts about Spirograph

DISCLAIMER: Please note that I use collector's nicknames for some of the dishes and not the official names they were produced with.— Bex Scott brings back a fan-favorite guest from Season One. In Season One he was called Rex but his actual name is Rob, Bex's husband. Rob returns to test his Pyrex knowledge (and how well he listens to his wife talk about her Pyrex collecting) by naming Pyrex patterns shown to him. How well does Rob do? Is he a Pyrex savant? Or is he just winging it here? See how you do against Rob by following along with the photo links in the Resources section. Rob's final score is one. One point. Which one did he get right? No spoilers here. Lessons were learned in this episode. Rob definitely believes he's better at naming Pyrex patterns than Pyrex was. The 60s and 70s were a wild time for Pyrex colors. Bex throws out some 14-year-old slang terms. Rob learns what a hugger is. And we all learn what the Pyrex names really are for some very interesting and classic patterns. Test your own knowledge along with Rob. And contact Bex to let her know what you think of Rob's names. Resources discussed in this episode:Pyrex One Rob's name: Primary Colors Plus an AttaboyPyrex Two Rob's name: Alternating White Wine Red Wine Vine SetPyrex Three Rob's name: 70s Throw Up FadePyrex Four Rob's name: Grenaded GardenPyrex Five Rob's name: Viney Vinny's Knobby Dish DelightPyrex Six Rob's name: Viking's BreadbasketPyrex Seven Rob's name: MagnaDoodle Acid TripPyrex Eight Rob's name: Hypnotic Salad BowlPyrex Nine Rob's name: 70s Jello Fruit Salad Thingamabobber Calls To YouPyrex Ten Rob's name: Gandalf's GardenPyrex Eleven Rob's name: Blood Red Christmas Doves Sharing a PomegranatePyrex Twelve Rob's name: Cretaceous Era Battle for Middle Earth—Contact Rebecca Scott | Pyrex With Bex: Website: PyrexWithBex.comInstagram: @pyrexwithbex—TranscriptBex Scott: [00:00:02] Hey everybody, it's Bex Scott and welcome to the Pyrex with Bex podcast where, you guessed it, I talk about vintage Pyrex, but also all things vintage housewares.

Subscribe now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you love listening to podcasts so you don't miss a beat. Hey everybody, this is Bex Scott and you are listening to the Pyrex with Bex podcast. And on today's episode, I am bringing back one of your most favorite guests, formerly known as Rex in season one of the podcast. It is my husband, Rob. Welcome, Rob. Rob: [00:00:48] Thanks for having me back. I'm really excited. Bex Scott: [00:00:50] It feels like a very long, hard road getting to this recording, because we just spent the last half hour trying to fix my mic, and thank goodness that your mic wasn't working because you were playing jeopardy music in the background, trying to provoke me. Rob: [00:01:05] It was much needed. There was so much suspense. Bex Scott: [00:01:09] There was suspense if we were going to get this done. If, yeah, just all the suspense. So suspenseful that I'm lost for words. Rob: [00:01:18] I can see that. Bex Scott: [00:01:19] That made no sense. Anyway, back to the episode. Today, I thought it would be fun to play a little game with Rob to see just how well he knows his Pyrex patterns, and I've gone in and selected 12 different Pyrex patterns. I'm going to show him the picture. And because all of you wonderful people can't see what I'm showing Rob, I'm going to describe it first, and he'll give his best guess as to what the pattern is. So it's going to be a lot of learning together to see just how much Rob pays attention to me and to my love of Pyrex. Here we go. So I invite all of you to join along and make your best guess and see just how good you are with your patterns as well. I know that going through this, it was very enlightening because Pyrex didn't come up with a lot of unique, exciting names for some of their patterns and their dishes. So you'll realize that as we go through some of these. So I figured it would be nice to start off easy, give Rob a little bit of a break on his first go. Rob: [00:02:34] And you'll understand that by asking me these questions that I should have been chosen by Pyrex to name these patterns. Bex Scott: [00:02:43] I hope so, maybe the names you give will be so amazing that collectors around the world will just adopt them. Rob: [00:02:50] There'll be a fee for that, but no problem. Bex Scott: [00:02:53] Okay, we'll see how great they are, how creative you're feeling. Okay, here's the first set. So for those of you listening right now, it is a four piece mixing bowl set starting with blue, going to red, then green, then yellow. Rob, what is the name of this bowl set or pattern? Rob: [00:03:17] I would call it Primary Colors, plus an Attaboy. Because the green is not a primary color. So you have the primary colors plus the attaboy. Bex Scott: [00:03:31] You would be correct. Rob: [00:03:33] Oh, it's called with the attaboy. Nice. Bex Scott: [00:03:35] Well. No, but I like that rendition better than just the plain old Primary. So. Good job. 1 out of 12. Rob: [00:03:44] Oh, it's called Primary. Okay. Bex Scott: [00:03:45] Yeah. You're winning so far. Next up, we have a lot of this in our house, I'm looking at it right now. Okay. For everybody out there. It is a Cinderella Bowl set, and it goes from white to pink to white to pink, and it has some nice little without giving anything away foliage vine situations on it. Rob, what do you think this set pattern is called? Rob: [00:04:16] I have to call it the Alternating White Wine Red Wine Vine set. Bex Scott: [00:04:29] That's quite the name. Rob: [00:04:31] Well, yeah. Like I said, I should have been hired for this job. Bex Scott: [00:04:35] At first, I thought you were going to say wine spritzer. Rob: [00:04:38] Well, yeah. Well, if you smash them, you could make a spritzer. It'd be kind of pink. Bex Scott: [00:04:44] It's a spritzer. Okay, this is Gooseberry. Rob: [00:04:47] Oh I was close. Bex Scott: [00:04:48] You couldn't have been further away, but that's okay. It has a little, it's hard to see, but there's little gooseberries on there. They kind of look like onions, to be honest. That's okay. Rob: [00:05:02] I couldn't see it in the picture very clearly. Bex Scott: [00:05:05] I'm sorry. That was my fault. Rob: [00:05:07] Absolutely. Anyway. Carry on. Bex Scott: [00:05:10] Okay, next up, we have another mixing bowl set. It's an ombre. An ombre moment, as the kids would say. And it's kind of an orangey yellowy going into a more orangey. Wow. That's a terrible description. Rob: [00:05:30] See why I should have been hired? Bex Scott: [00:05:34] It's an orange ombre. There we go. Rob: [00:05:37] Well, it brings back some traumatic memories of the colors that my parents made me wear. So I would call that the 70s Throw Up Fade pattern. Bex Scott: [00:05:50] Oh, the PTSD is strong in this one. Rob: [00:05:54] Yeah, it goes from like a horrific orange that I remember I had to wear down to like a nasty pastel yellow that I also had to wear. Bex Scott: [00:06:04] The jumper? Rob: [00:06:05] Yeah. Where's me jumper? Bex Scott: [00:06:10] Okay. Rob: [00:06:11] I'm sure that's probably not quite what Pyrex might have used, but it probably should have been. Bex Scott: [00:06:16] So is that your your real guess? Rob: [00:06:19] Okay, fine. Um. Let's see. I would call that. Oh, let's get all fluffy. A fading sunset. Bex Scott: [00:06:29] Oh that's deep. That's a romantic set of bowls. Rob: [00:06:34] Don't worry. I've got that in me. Bex Scott: [00:06:35] Off into the fading sunset. It's called Flame Glo. Rob: [00:06:40] Same thing. Bex Scott: [00:06:43] Glow with no w. Yeah. Throw that wrench in there. Rob: [00:06:47] Is there two dots over the o? Bex Scott: [00:06:48] No. Flame Glo. Rob: [00:06:53] Yeah, it's the the German division of Pyrex. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:06:58] Okay, this next one is good. Okay, I have to blow it up really big so you can see the extreme importance of the detail. So this is a Cinderella Bowl. It is green. It has a salad theme to it. Rob: [00:07:17] I thought that's what I saw. So I would call that the Grenaded Garden pattern. Looks like somebody threw a bomb into a garden. And there's just lettuce and radishes and stuff exploded all over the place. Bex Scott: [00:07:30] I actually like that. That's good. Rob: [00:07:32] And it's got alliteration, right? Grenaded Garden. Final answer. Bex Scott: [00:07:38] Ding! You are not correct. This one is interesting. This is called the Fetus Bowl. Rob: [00:07:46] Well. I don't understand that. Bex Scott: [00:07:48] I'm pretty sure it wasn't made and called the fetus. I think that's probably what people have called it over the years. But if you can see there's a little fetus outline right there, can you see it? Rob: [00:08:02] Yeah. To me it looks like a kid sitting on like a Hot Wheels. You know, those green machines? Like, from when I was a kid. The three wheeled machines. It looks like a little kid sitting on one of those just ripping it up, obviously tearing up a garden patch. Bex Scott: [00:08:18] Oh, it looks like a little kid cuddling with a leaf. But fun thing is, I was researching this while preparing for our discussion, and I learned that it comes with a pair of sparkly salad tongs back in the day. Rob: [00:08:38] Well, everybody needs a set of bedazzler salad tongs. Bex Scott: [00:08:41] You absolutely do. Bedazzler scooping it from your Fetus bowl. Rob: [00:08:46] Nothing improves your appetite more than hearing that. Bex Scott: [00:08:51] I'd like some salad right now. Rob: [00:08:52] How would you like to have some salad out of my Fetus bowl? Yes, please. Bex Scott: [00:09:02] Okay. Next one. And you can't really tell, Rob, but that's pink. Oh, this is a hard one to show. Okay, here we go. One second. I'll explain it to you. So it is pink. It has the knob lid. It's an 024, a nice light pink color with more vines. They really like their vines, but they're tiny little flowers. Tiny little flowered vine. Kind of like a bad tattoo. Rob: [00:09:33] I would call this Viney Vinny's Knobby Dish Delight. I don't know. You know, Vinny cooks up a meal. Bex Scott: [00:09:46] Viney Vinny. Viney Vinny. Oh, no. Images. This is called Duchess. Rob: [00:09:55] Vinny the Duchess. Bex Scott: [00:09:58] Uh, it's my unicorn piece. My most coveted piece of Pyrex is the Duchess. The next piece is a lovely dish in a wicker basket. It is blue. It has the opal lid with a very intricate blue design of tiny flowers. And what else is on here? It's an artistic line art design. This is harder than I thought it would be to explain what's on the lid. So blue base, opal lid, intricate little blue design on the top. Rob: [00:10:45] Hmm. Bex Scott: [00:10:47] Reminds me of something I would doodle on my arm when I was in high school. Rob: [00:10:50] Right. I would say... Bex Scott: [00:10:52] Right. Rob: [00:10:54] That is the, it almost looks like old Viking type print. So I'm going to call that the Vikings Breadbasket. Rob: [00:11:07] Because of the wicker. Bex Scott: [00:11:09] Blue Doily. Rob: [00:11:11] Pretty close. Bex Scott: [00:11:11] Yeah. The Vikings Doily. Rob: [00:11:14] Has something to do with Vikings, doesn't it? Bex Scott: [00:11:16] Oh, a better name is the Viking Doily. There we go. Rob: [00:11:20] There you go. Bex Scott: [00:11:21] Viking Doily. Rob: [00:11:23] RagnarDoily. There we go. The RagnarDoily. Bex Scott: [00:11:30] Oh, this is a fun one. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Rob: [00:11:33] I thought the last one was a fun one. Bex Scott: [00:11:35] This is even more fun. Rob: [00:11:36] Oh my gosh. Bex Scott: [00:11:37] Okay, so this is a nice bright blue bottom, a clear top. It's a round casserole and it has, how do you explain this? Like a line art green and blue... Rob: [00:11:54] Flower. Bex Scott: [00:11:55] Repetitive flower looking. Yeah. Flower looking design on the top. But it's not a flower. Rob: [00:12:00] I just remembered what it's called from my childhood. It's called the Magna Doodle Acid Trip. That's what that's called. Bex Scott: [00:12:09] For a second, I thought you were actually going to get the name. Rob: [00:12:13] Oh, God. No. Never. There is this cool coloring thing when I was a kid, and anybody who's of my vintage, which is like, you know, 29, that there was this coloring set called the Magna Doodle and it had like these round disks that you could put a pen in, and they had different pieces you could put in, and you just kept drawing your pen around, around the circle. And it made a pattern. Bex Scott: [00:12:38] But what's another name for that? Rob: [00:12:41] The Magna Doodle Acid Trip. Bex Scott: [00:12:44] What's another name for the Magna Doodle? Rob: [00:12:46] Oh, um, the.. Superman Acid Hit. Bex Scott: [00:12:52] The Spirograph. Rob: [00:12:55] Well, okay, if you want to get technical, sure. Bex Scott: [00:12:57] That's what this is called. Spirograph. Rob: [00:13:01] I like my name better. Let's see what your listeners have to say. Bex Scott: [00:13:07] We should get them to vote on all of your names after this. Rob: [00:13:10] 100%. Bex Scott: [00:13:13] I feel like I need to get better at describing them, though. This is really not setting you up for success. Okay, next is another round casserole. This one has a hugger. A nice brown plastic hugger. Rob: [00:13:27] What is a hugger? Bex Scott: [00:13:29] It's so that you don't burn your table or your hands. It hugs the dish and keeps the table safe. Rob: [00:13:37] Is it like a rubber thing or something? Bex Scott: [00:13:39] It's just like a plastic. A hard plastic. Rob: [00:13:43] Okay. Bex Scott: [00:13:44] Okay. And this one is, it's hard to tell, but it's like, the only way I can explain the color is like a granny panty color. It's a nice beige on the bottom. And then it has some... Rob: [00:14:03] Powder blue? Bex Scott: [00:14:04] No, that's opal. That's white on the top. So it has... Rob: [00:14:08] The darker color. Bex Scott: [00:14:11] On the top of the lid? Bex Scott: [00:14:13] Yeah, it's just brown. It's just a bad picture. Rob: [00:14:16] Oh, sorry. The picture makes it look... Bex Scott: [00:14:18] So it's a white lid with circles on top. There's three sets of circles, like line drawn circles, line drawn. Obviously it's a line drawn circle, anyway. Oh, no. Moving on. And then there's. Rob: [00:14:41] See, maybe you should have named them. Bex Scott: [00:14:44] And then it looks like leaves with more line drawn circles. Kind of like a bulb or something on the front. Okay. Rob: [00:14:54] I will call this the Hypnotic Salad Bowl because it looks like a hypnotic situation going on with the lid. Like they're trying to will children into eating salad and green foods. That's definitely what that was used for. It's like an evil adult-- Bex Scott: [00:15:18] Evil eye. Rob: [00:15:19] -- tool. Bex Scott: [00:15:20] Sucking you into the vegetables. Rob: [00:15:23] Eat your veggies. Yep. That's you will love your green beans. Bex Scott: [00:15:28] This casserole, I have to say, is very ugly. Rob: [00:15:33] Yeah, it's not going to be on our table. Bex Scott: [00:15:35] No. Okay, wait, did you already give me a name? Oh, yeah. You did. It was so great, I forgot. Okay. It's called Brown Onion. Rob: [00:15:48] It's called the Hypnotic Salad Bowl. I looked it up. Bex Scott: [00:15:55] Just Brown Onion. Rob: [00:15:57] The Brown Onion Hypnotic Salad Bowl. Bex Scott: [00:15:59] Here's another one. It's another one with a hugger. It's a brown casserole with a clear green hugger. The bottom is a nice green color. The lid is opal, and there is a nice fruit. A purple and green fruit. What's the word I'm saying? I don't know. It's gone. Gone from my mind. It's a fruit. I'm trying not to use words that will give away the the name of it. Rob: [00:16:32] Looks like grapes or something. Bex Scott: [00:16:34] Yeah, and the box, I actually really like the box. Okay. What would you say this one's called? Rob: [00:16:41] The 70s Jello Fruit Salad Thingamabobber Calls To You. Or is calling? Yes. It's very, very, very 70s colors. Bex Scott: [00:16:57] It is. I don't mind this one. Rob: [00:17:00] Or 60s. Bex Scott: [00:17:02] It's just called Grapes. That's another-- Rob: [00:17:06] Way to dumb it down. Bex Scott: [00:17:07] I know. That's why I was saying at the beginning they didn't come up with the most exciting names. Okay, here we go. Rob: [00:17:14] That's why they should have hired me. Okay. Bex Scott: [00:17:17] Next up, mixing bowl set. There's three of them. There are some cute little mushrooms on there. And some grass. And some flowers. No. No flowers. Just grass. Grass and mushrooms. And it's a beigey speckly color. Rob: [00:17:37] Well, this is pretty obvious what this should be called. It's the Hobbit. Hobbit Town. And Gandalf's Garden was what the three different bowls are called. Bex Scott: [00:17:59] Oh, I actually like that. I could see that in a little, what are the hobbit huts called in the Shire? Rob: [00:18:08] I don't know. Bex Scott: [00:18:09] They're little houses. Rob: [00:18:11] Like burrows or something. Yeah, something like that. Anyway, yeah. Bex Scott: [00:18:17] I digress. Forest Fancies. Rob: [00:18:21] I wasn't too far off. Bex Scott: [00:18:22] I actually like yours better. I think they'd sell. Rob: [00:18:27] You. You'd reign in the LOTR folks, that's for sure. Bex Scott: [00:18:32] Okay. Next up. I like this pattern. We don't have any of it because it's a slippery slope. There's lots of it and I just can't start another collection, as you know. Okay, so this is alternating opal with a pattern, red opal with a pattern and then a nice orangey color. It's a mixing bowl set. Some cute little birds on it and some flowers and leaves in nice orange red. Oh no. Yeah. Orange red and nope, just orange and red. I'm having trouble seeing. Rob: [00:19:19] It must be called the Blood Red Christmas Doves Sharing a Pomegranate. Bex Scott: [00:19:30] That's a very good description. So that people will know out there that are listening what it is. Rob: [00:19:38] I can't tell what's on the, behind the birds. Is that like a teddy bear? What is that? Bex Scott: [00:19:45] No, that's a a floral decoration of sorts. Like a tulip. It's a tulip. Rob: [00:19:55] Oh. It looks like a bear. Bex Scott: [00:19:58] It's a tulip adjacent. This is called Friendship. Rob: [00:20:04] Oh, well, I mean, two Blood Red Doves Sharing a Pomegranate is friendship. So that, it's just the simplified version of my name. Bex Scott: [00:20:18] I was going to say something. No. In the teenage speak of a 14 year old. But I couldn't think of anything. Like bro-ing up or something. Or bro-ing down. Or they're just bro-ing. Rob: [00:20:33] No, they're just skibidiing on a pomegranate together. Bex Scott: [00:20:37] It's a skibidi Pyrex. Oh I've just lost all of my listeners. Okay. Rob: [00:20:43] I think so. Here we go. Bex Scott: [00:20:44] I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed. Okay. Next up. Rob: [00:20:48] Oh, that looks familiar. Bex Scott: [00:20:49] You've spent a lot of time with this pattern with all your cooking and baking. It is a mixing bowl set. It is a speckly beigey brown with a really nice blue floral pattern on it. Rob: [00:21:06] Well, the side pieces almost look like little armored, well armored shrimps. So I'm going to call this the Cretaceous Era Battle for Middle Earth. Bex Scott: [00:21:26] Now all I'm seeing is shrimp in a squid. Rob: [00:21:30] But the shrimp are wearing armor, like. Bex Scott: [00:21:32] They're ready to get in there. Rob: [00:21:33] They're front line. Ready to go. Bex Scott: [00:21:35] Yeah. Yeah. This is called Homestead. Rob: [00:21:42] Well, maybe they were fighting in their homeland, so it's called homestead. The homestead shrimp. Bex Scott: [00:21:48] Shrimp on the range. Home on the range. Rob: [00:21:51] Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:21:53] I like it. Rob: [00:21:54] The range being the beach, I guess. Bex Scott: [00:21:58] Okay, that was it. Those are all the ones that I chose for us. So. Lessons learned-- Rob: [00:22:07] Interesting patterns. Bex Scott: [00:22:09] -- is that Rob can go very deep when naming things. Another lesson learned is that I am ashamed that I didn't know what color was on the Duchess, having spoken about it in many episodes. And what else? I need some sparkly salad tongs. And yeah, those are those the main takeaways. Rob: [00:22:36] Go to Value Village and find one of those old bedazzler sets and really do up a set for you. Bex Scott: [00:22:42] I think we might have to. Rob: [00:22:45] And one-up those. Bex Scott: [00:22:48] Well, I think we might have to do a second round of this down the road. Maybe you can do some studying and thrifting and Pyrex research to expand your vocabulary of names and in the meantime, I'll keep saving to buy my Duchess to secretly bring it into the house and hide it from you. Rob: [00:23:14] No, that is the wrong answer. Bex Scott: [00:23:20] But anyway, I'd love to know what everybody listening guessed for the Pyrex names. If you aren't a collector, if you don't know your Pyrex patterns, let me know! Find me on Instagram or Facebook at Pyrex with Bex and we will hopefully hear from Rob again down the road with more Pyrex naming and knowledge. So thank you everybody for listening. And thank you, Rob, for being here again. Rob: [00:23:48] My pleasure. And please people comment on whether you think that my names are superior to that of Pyrex's boring shortened names. Bex Scott: [00:24:03] I'll be sure to let you know what they say in the comments. Rob: [00:24:06] Yes, please. That'd be great. 

In a rerun of an *absolute hit* episode from last holiday season, we're talkin' Thingies with Alison Roman, the woman behind a SLEW of recipes we cook all the dang time. We know you know her, but JIC, she's the author of NYT bestselling—and gifty!—cookbooks Sweet Enough, Nothing Fancy, and Dining In, she doles out the most delightful kitchen content in A Newsletter and on her Home Movies YouTube channel, and she delivers guidance of all kinds on her Solicited Advice podcast. In essence: She's full of thoughts, and we want them all.   First things first, what we would bring to a pilot kid-gift swap (thx, Leslie!): Spirograph, Yellow Owl Workshop DIY Pin & Flair Kit, Bastien Contraire Stencil Kit, Majo Ideas Art Pack, and Pop Tubes.   Alison's tabletop Thingies include beeswax candles (try Greentree Home Candle—maybe in the sangria color?!), candle holders *in general* (e.g., this Sophie Lou Jacobson one), and interesting serving platters including Bordallo Pinheiro's. For the bod, she loves using Laneige's lip mask as lip balm, and Davines's Vegetarian Miracle Mask for her hair. On the food front, how about chopped fermented chilies—use them to make her Brothy Chickpeas with Calabrian Chili (and/or these chickpeas)—and, for dessert, Kolsvart gummies.    Share your Thingies with us at 833-632-5463, podcast@athingortwohq.com, and @athingortwohq, or drop them in our Geneva!   YAY.

In this episode we welcome back Steve Lewis to take a deep dive into this episode that takes a look at Super Hero movie making before the boom of Super Hero movies. We were astonished at the very reasonable cost for making a film back then and compare that to the cost of some actual blockbusters from that time. So don't just sit there, up and atom and listen to this absolute fan favorite! Join us as we also discuss: Breaking the fake Avril Lavigne conspiracy wide open Cori's frantic plea to our listeners, and her look at the history behind the band Fallout Boy and how they chose their name. As well as a bunch of other Simpsons inspired name band names Steve needs to know what Nick's superpower is, and sets the record straight about Raul Julia Bryan tells us who originally auditioned for Batman 1989, and tells of the scene that made his brother and him laugh so hard it brought them to tears Patrick pleads for the Radioactive Man Movie: Snyder Cut and impresses once again with his knowledge of old timey media Discovering new jokes in the episode We learn about the real Alfalfa's untimely death The goggles do nothing, but in real life The love of Spirograph and the trauma that came along with it Mickey Rooney and Andy Rooney confusion

More misses than hits this week as our disappointing run of current films continues. We're also talking about We Have a Ghost on Netflix and it turns out Producer Ben is a Spirograph - who knew?

This episode Dave and Nick put on their black turtle neck sweaters, grab their silenced pistols, and their face-changing super gadgets as they are taking on the role of Ethan Hunt, the point man of IMF. They have to track down a list of undercover spies before it gets into the wrong person's hands. With more twists and turns than a broken Spirograph will this be a mission they can complete?

With Australia changing out their $5 note from Queen Elizabeth to King Charles III, some are hoping they would use Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter).

This year's nominees for the Toy Hall-of-Fame include Bingo, Lite Brite, Nerf Toys, Spirograph, Masters of the Universe action figures and Pound Puppies.  What toy would you nominate?

Lite Brite... fantastic.  Spirograph... excellent.  But what is Catan? It's no Bingo, that's for sure.  Steve and Ted take a look at this years finalists for entry into the prestigious hall of fame.

Ep. 199 - The finalists are revealed for induction into the Toy Hall of Fame - bingo, Breyer Horses, Catan, Lite-Brite, Nerf Toys, Masters of the Universe, pinata, Phase 10, Pound Puppies, Rack-O, Spirograph and the top.

President Joe Biden says a deal has been reached to avert a looming freight-rail strike that could have disrupted numerous commuter rail services across the country. A strike would also intensify snarls in the nation's supply chain that have contributed to rising prices. Thousands of mourners have lined up through the night to file past the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II in Parliament's Westminster Hall. The queue to see the queen lying in state stretched for nearly four miles past Tower Bridge. The queen's coffin will lie in state at Westminster Hall until the morning of her funeral on Monday. During the first two years of the pandemic, the number of people working from home tripled, home values grew and the percentage of people who spend more than a third of their income on rent went up. That's according to survey results released Thursday which provide the most detailed data on how life changed in the U.S. under COVID-19. A onetime aide to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has sued him, saying he tried to groom her for a sexual relationship at the start of the pandemic and then later smeared her reputation publicly. The lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court Wednesday by Charlotte Bennett also named three former aides of Cuomo as defendants. A federal jury in Chicago convicted R. Kelly on Wednesday of producing child pornography and enticing girls for sex after a monthlong trial in his hometown. It's another legal blow to a singer who was once one of the world's biggest R&B stars. In sports, the two top NL East contenders lost, the Padres and Brewers fell, and a pair of Cardinals made history. President Joe Biden spent a good portion of his day Wednesday showcasing his administration's efforts to promote electric vehicles at the Detroit auto show. Biden is a self-proclaimed “car guy” who owns a 1967 Corvette Stingray. He announced approval of the first $900 million in infrastructure money to build EV chargers across 53,000 miles of the national highway system and 35 states. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a rare foray outside Ukraine's capital and highlighted Moscow's embarrassing retreat from a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Hand on heart, Zelenskyy watched his country's flag rise above the recaptured city of Izium on Wednesday. Russian forces left the city last week as Kyiv's soldiers advanced in the northeastern Kharkiv region. Attorneys for Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz have suddenly and surprisingly rested their case, leading to a shouting match after the judge accused them of a lack of professionalism. Cruz has pleaded guilty of murdering 17 at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. The trial is to decide whether he is sentenced to death or life without parole. Voting is open on which toys should go into the National Toy Hall of Fame this year. The class of 2022 finalists were announced Wednesday. They are: bingo, Breyer Horses, Catan, Lite-Brite, Nerf Toys, Masters of the Universe, piñata, Phase 10, Pound Puppies, Rack-O, Spirograph, and the top. MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell says federal agents have seized his cellphone. He says they also questioned him Tuesday about a Colorado clerk who has been charged in what prosecutors say was a “deceptive scheme” to breach voting system technology used across the country. The Justice Department says three Iranian citizens have been charged in the United States with ransomware attacks that targeted power companies, local governments and small businesses and nonprofits, including a Pennsylvania domestic violence shelter. A U.S. firm that monitors false online claims reports that searches for information about prominent news topics on TikTok are likely to turn up results riddled with misinformation. The NewsGuard firm says its researchers ran searches on news topics including COVID-19, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the 2020 U.S. election and found that nearly 1 in 5 of the videos recommended by the site contained misinformation. Inflation at the wholesale level jumped 8.7% in August from a year earlier, a slowdown from July yet still a painfully high level that suggests prices will keep spiking for months to come. —The Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's take a trip back to 1979 where we talk about Space Invaders, the Skylab Station, the Spirograph and the best (and worst) of the movies and music of that year.

In this Memory Jogger Mystery episode, Jason and Wyatt randomly choose from a group of topics (without any prior show notes) and see how much they can remember. After sharing their experience, they can then cheat by using the Google machine to find anything they might have missed from memory.The random topic chosen during the show is Educational Toys! Jason and Wyatt jog their memories of what educational gadgets and games they had growing up in the '80s that were somewhat disguised as toys like Speak & Spell, Little Professor Calculator, Light Brite, Etch-A-Sketch, Spirograph, and more. Join the conversation! Leave any memories that we might have jogged to our show notes on Rediscoverthe80s.com, tweet us @RD80s and @infamouswb or Leave us a VOICEMAIL → https://telb.ee/rd80s.

For most of its life, a star like the Sun is drab. Seen from afar, it's just a pinpoint of light. When the star dies, though, it's like a caterpillar leaving its cocoon — as a beautiful butterfly. As the nuclear engine in its core shuts down, a star sheds its outer layers of hot gas. They form a colorful bubble known as a planetary nebula. The nebula can glow for thousands of years as it expands and cools. The star's rotation and magnetic field, as well as any companion stars, can sculpt the nebula into incredible shapes. One of the most impressive planetary nebulas is known as the Spirograph. That's because it resembles the geometric shapes produced by the old children's toy. It's probably more than 4,000 light-years away. The Spirograph probably began taking shape about 50,000 years ago as seen from Earth, when the star expelled a shell of gas. A second outburst followed about ten thousand years ago. Both of those shells have faded. About 2600 years ago, however, a third outburst produced the nebula that's visible today. It spans about a fifth of a light-year, and it's filled with filaments and bubbles of gas that produce its amazing appearance. The Spirograph should remain visible for thousands of years before it dissipates and vanishes. The nebula is in Lepus, the hare, which bounds below the feet of Orion, which is in the southern sky on winter evenings. But you need a telescope to see this final act of a star.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

The Etch A Sketch and Spirograph are some of the most successful toys available for introducing young people to the world of art. However, there are not many touch friendly equivalents for those searching for a tactile based option that would offer a similar experience to those classic toys. Daniel Seth Lubiner, Founder and CEO, and Brian K. Edwards, President and Chief Operating Officer, of TouchPad Pro Assistive Technology are out to change that by creating new products like the Braille Doodle and the TouchPad Pro. Hear the pair tell J.J. how these products were inspired by Braille students, transformed into an Indi Gogo project and how that process is leading to eventual product distribution.

Klar, Regeln befolgen, das können die Maschinen, aber kreativ werden, Neues erschaffen, das bleibt doch wohl dem Menschen vorbehalten. Doch funktioniert nicht auch Kreativität häufig nach einfachen Regeln des Handwerks oder der Rekombination? Und wie kreativ ist kreative Arbeit eigentlich wirklich?

Maybe an Easy Bake Oven, a Lite-Brite, or a Spirograph? No? Well, you really missed out. The toys of yesteryear did not require batteries to operate. They required something much more powerful.

This week, Avram Piltch shows off the Artie 3000 drawing robot. Artie is a new entry in the growing list of kids STEM toys intended to help teach kids about computers, logic, and programming. These toys all take different forms, and Artie is unique in the field. This product is a robotic drawing product, which allows the user to program its movements to produce a drawing.While Artie is cute, some aspects make it less than ideal. Most robotic toys connect to their host devices via Bluetooth, Artie connects via WiFi. Artie has a web server built-in which serves up the web interface to program the robot. This produces a couple of issues. The first is that because Artie connects through WiFi, the computer or tablet does not have internet access. This means that looking for help will be impossible on the connected computer. So, to be able to use a tutorial or follow instructions, you will need two devices.The second problem is that the interface is designed for a larger screen, particularly a laptop. It works well on a laptop, but most younger kids have more experience with a tablet or phone than with a laptop. As such, using the block-based programming system is not as easy to use as it is with other products.While Artie is billed as a toy to learn how to program, this robot is not going to be a great introductory programming toy. That's because the system is very limited in its scope. However, Artie is a truly great product to help kids learn the basics of geometry due to its drawing focus. Over time, kids can learn the finer points of how to program the robot to produce geometric shapes. The more intricate the shapes, the more detailed the drawings can be. One of the included programs produces a very cool Spirograph-like design.Because of the price and the legitimate learning opportunities, Artie is a good buy for most young kids.

A new comedy podcast for movie lovers. Adrian and Pete have been posting ideas for movies to their tumblr for years. Finally they’ve got a series of big meetings with real film industry people… the trouble is all their ideas are insane. Listen in to hear them pitch their ludicrous ideas to each other, before they decide which concept to take to the horrified professionals… All motion picture concepts described are for sale for £1,000,000 + VAT. This podcast is completely ridiculous. You have been warned. Lots of love, Adrian and Pete

PODCAST LA ALDEA IRREDUCTIBLECAPITULO 15 - EDWIN HUBBLEComienza el 2009, el Año Internacional de la Astronomía y como ya anunciaba en el anterior capítulo del Podcast, este nuevo Archivo Sonoro estará dedicado a Edwin Hubble.Siempre con su pipa en la boca y sus ojos fijos en el cielo, Edwin Hubble significó un paso de gigante en las tesis e ideas que se tenían del Universo.A principios del siglo XX, había un intenso debate sobre la estructura y dimensiones del Cosmos, y aún se pensaba que nuestra galaxia, la Vía Láctea, era todo el Universo... Hubble, y sus descubrimientos, ampliaron aquella visión y dieron paso a lo que hoy conocemos como Universo en expansión.Un capítulo que repasa la vida de Hubble, pero en el que también he querido incluir algunos conceptos científicos, como el Efecto Doppler, para hacer más comprensibles los avances que Hubble realizó.Aprovecho también para agradecer la colaboración de músicos como Jaime Heras (todo un veterano ya en estos podcast) o David KBD, que mediante un mail, se puso en contacto conmigo para brindarme su música o Octavio Cortés, otro buen amigo de la Aldea ;) ... Gracias a todos por poner a disposición de estos Podcast vuestras composiciones.
