When the new Postal Service logo came out, they ran ads with the song I want to fly like an eagle.

I always knew Babe Ruth was white, but I'm biased because I'm a baseball fan and particularly a Dodgers fan. So, I obviously knew that Jackie Robinson was the first black player in the MLB and broke the racial barrier, Babe Ruth played in a segregated league.

white afab with zero interest in sports, i knew babe ruth was white. i did, however, convince myself for years that watership down was about military stuff. when i was little i remembered hearing that there was a movie called "'something' down" that was about animals, so when i saw a movie called "black hawk down" was on TV i assumed 'oh! that must be it!'. needless to say my confusion and disappointment were immeasurable. when later i heard people talking about watership down i only remembered my betrayal and thought, "well surely if it's called waterSHIP down it has to be another war story, that's definitely not for me." it wasn't until 4 years ago when my spouse got a graphic novelization that i realized, "wait....it's about rabbits?!". i've now read both that version and the original, and i don't know if i'll ever be able to forgive myself for depriving my childhood self a book i would've been obsessed with.

I didn’t know R&B music stood for rhythm and blues

I always knew babe ruth was white but I also thought he was italian...

I say button up but then again I’m not in the US so idk what the norm is there

Alain Bourg

I was looking for this comment. Like there's a reason north African cultures drink almost nothing but hot tea and coffee despite living in or around the friggin Sahara desert.

Carmnsndiego

I live for the Hasan being dumb comments lol

the idea that depression is a chemical imbalance really hasnt been verified by the evidence. it kind of stems from pharmaceutical companies trying to push their drugs. some people are genetically predisposed to depression, have childhoods or traumatic experiences that give rise to depressive symptoms, and/or undergo an experience that triggers a depressive episode that can evolve into major depressive disorder. can depression medications help people? yes but they need paired with other interventions like therapy or emdr etc. but the evidence suggesting it is a chemical imbalance stems from the use of drugs in depression treatment. mayas point about it not being something you can think out of might be from the structure of the brain and lacking other ways of thinking but even that is a little controversial.

Carto

Omg Maya's therapist did NOT just tell her to touch grass !!!! 😂😂😂

Devin

I had to call my mom and tell her about this segment bc when I was a kid, my little brother was OBSESSED with learning about Babe Ruth, he was his fav baseball player. So like of course I knew.

Moose

I do think that the chocolate candy (of the same name: babe Ruth) bar does probably contribute to the confusion of his skin color. Funny.

John Valletta

Do some people call button down shirts or button up shirts? Is this due to region

Jaded Kills

Not QT accidentally saying she has DID lol

Shakey Bones

51:02 let the accent slip lol

i was in my own zone in 2018 damn how did i not know aviccii died

J

lol freud was a disbarred psychologist and all of his findings were unfounded and disproven. cocaine is a stimulant. for those with adhd cocaine actually helps them focus. no obviously dont take it and its not prescribed for people with adhd. but does have some benefits. also an easy way to find out if u might have adhd ig lol. and depression is a "chemical imbalance" (as in levels of chemicals/hormones/etc are not working together) but there is not good evidence of specific chemicals (serotonin) being the reason depression occurs. what is now debated is which combination of chemicals and other things are not working and also whether the imbalance caused the depression or depression caused the imbalance (basically the chicken or the egg question)

Christine Harworth

I went down a Google spiral. The Babe Ruth thing was crazy! I grew up knowing he was white. But also, not Ludwig saying he was a racist hahaha. I think Babe Ruth was perceived as black because he didn’t believe in segregation and he was the minority of that opinion in that time. Legend 🫶🏻 What a wild Mandela effect though.

BS

it's wild to me people think babe ruth was black. ludwig had the right energy lol and it makes sense why people think he's italian because his nickname was the great bambino

Omar G

I "knew" warm drinks helped warm you up when you're cold (because drinking a hot drink should make someone less cold), but I also thought it was 90% a vibes thing to drink hot stuff in winter (since I grew up in south Texas). It wasn't until I went to college a bit further north and would drink coffee while walking between classes when I realized hot drinks actually warmed you up quite a lot

Greg Chuggs

As a baseball fan Im just glad people still know who Babe Ruth is. Im a Red Sox fan so I grew up hearing about the Curse of the Bambino (trading Ruth to the Yankees) a lot. Luckily that curse was lifted in 2004.

Melanie Stewart

Maya i need you to be aware that wherever you were holding your phone during twitter segment it was reflecting off ur mic be careful out there bestie :)

Melanie Stewart

undiagnosed adhd here and i have always said that cocaine is underwhelming and i don’t understand why people do it. My big proof of adhd is feeling basically nothing when i do cocaine. Not very fun. And i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again to anyone reading this. Don’t do cocaine. Just smoke some weed lol. Shit is boring and expensive

hollieb0o

it’s okay u can move around qt 😭😭 but what an interesting episode and poor mayo for the responses on that tweet

Anthony Williams

Black man here, also thought babe Ruth was black when I was younger. Took a black history class in high school and learned he wasn’t but due to his facial features and “support” of black people, he was coined as black by whites derogatorily. You’re not alone Maya!

BisonHero

It must be that Jackie Robinson gets a passing mention in American school lessons about civil rights history. And like the only 3 pre-1960s baseball players that non-sports people know of are probably Joe DiMaggio (obviously Italian), Jackie Robinson (trailblazing African American player), and Babe Ruth (whom evidently nobody knows a single thing about). And then later their brain vaguely ascribes the story/ethnicity of Jackie Robinson to both Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth? That's the only way I can make sense of it. I'm Canadian and don't particularly watch any sports, but I knew Babe Ruth was the chubby white guy, and Jackie Robinson was the famous first black player to integrate with white player leagues.

BisonHero

One day, I hope scientists will be able to explain to my children's children how Maya's background-noise, barely-paying-attention TV show is somehow The Walking Dead.

PedritoElMaldito

Just wanted to note that Babe Ruth definitely was not racist, he championed the integration of black players into the MLB, and he would play in minor leagues so that he could play against the NML( I'll let y'all figure out what the N stands for). Owing to all that, there were rumors that he was actually a light skinned black man because of his ferverent support of the black cause and his love for Harlem. Its actually a pretty interesting read if anybody wants to look deeper into it.

LexiJayC

Girl I live in the Midwest, it’s dark and below 0 in the morning, the sun is so far away 😩

Lindsey

oh I remember those college adderall days well… (allegedly)

Tito Zapata

I’m embarrassed to say but I thought women peed out their assholes until I was like year 9 when I saw porn with a woman peeing Actually I went to an all boy catholic school they didn’t allow sex ed (dumb) and our teacher who was a woman heard us and realised how dumb we were so had a sex ed class with us in secret

Erika

i deadass thought babe ruth was a PoC and i'm a grader for PSA LOL... his photos had me thinking he was some type of hispanic or islander but i was not expecting german..........

Jesse

Crazy how Wineaboutit got famous twitter user Mayo Higa

mud

New Zealand viewer here. I also though Babe Ruth was black and 90% of our tv (that wasn't sport) is/was American shows. No idea where where it came from. Also, didn't learn that ponies were a completely separate animal to horses until my late 20's.

Marshall Christensen

I was like oh yea of course Maya doesn't know who Babe Ruth is, but then Connor and others confusion had me baffled. I guess the only time baseball is really mentioned in school is during civil rights history. People's brains then go Babe Ruth = baseball = civil rights = first black player? Or maybe it's that almost all the photos of him are in black and white.

Rasmus

The next level of the hot drink/temperature discourse-- hot drinks help you cool down when it's hot outside, because they induce sweating and sweating cools you down.

BigW

Good one that came from my sister a bit too late in life: midnight = middle of the night

Jam

It’s mostly just a dosing/intensity thing. Take enough adderal and it might as well be meth. They are effecting you in the same way, just at different strengths

Jam

Lol he played during an era the one drop rule was a thing and it was a whites only league

Jam

I think the babe Ruth thing is a matter of whether you follow sports to any degree. If you do you’ve probably seen at least one picture or know the time period he played during. If not, well, most pro athletes are not white so you just assume!

MICHY!!!!!

i think maya accidentally hit the larger part of twitter which is full of people who are conditioned to being fed ragebait 24/7 and they all assumed thats what she was doing lmfao

Jennica

I am embarrassed to say I also thought he was black. I want to know where this misconception came from

Jose Marin

I agree with that redditor, I feel like a genius lol holy crap. The babe Ruth one is INSANE!

Joey

Maybe they think of Jackie Robinson

Jose Marin

There are varying degrees and types of depression. Some can be worked on with talk therapy, others need medication, others need more intense treatment etc etc. I think the problem tends to be that people think there’s a miracle pill where you take it and you’re cured or that one therapy session will magically make you snap out of it, when the reality is that it’s a long road to recovery. This can get very frustrating for people and they quit before feeling the effects of a long term solution. Also, if you go in with the mindset that this won’t work or that what the dr is telling you is BS and you don’t even try it, you’re setting yourself up to have the treatment not have the effect it would if you opened your mind to it.

Trevor Ayala

This happened to a friend in college. "Isn't it so weird how kiwis and strawberries are like... spicy and make your mouth feel fuzzy?" Was met with a room full of confused stares and concern. Then a trip to the allergist the next day.

girluv55 .

I really think the tweet is no big deal lol everyone has their moments

Experimental Cyborg

Look up "mandela effect", there are lots of things the majority of people misremember the exact same way. I think it's freaky and interesting at the same time!

I don't know what to name myself

I was in my thirties before finding out it wasn't normal for eating kiwi to make your mouth bleed

Lizzy

Wow I too though Babe Ruth was black 😭😭

the.black.dog.13

yipee

Lizzy

I will be honest, when I heard about that tweet I gave her the benefit of the doubt, like I was missing context lol glad I did

Mitch Mitcherson

I don’t like maya getting mean comments!

adotb

It’s speculated that Babe Ruth was Dominican. So yes, he was probably black and not white

KellyAnn

Love that Maya and qt are so comfortable talking about the differences in chronic and acute depression, as well as their own difficulties. Thank you thank you for being so vulnerable online

BS

Is my podcast app fucking up? It had the bonus episode but not this one? Or did something go wrong for everybody?

Sasha

I didn’t really know who he’s was lol but I’m not American (or German, or Italian, or Cuban)

Couran

I don’t think Squeex knew who Babe Ruth was

Todd Sutherland

ADHD meds are an upper, in the same family as meth. Coke can also give you the focus tho!

Leah B

I thought "I'm Tim" was incredible as well. I always loved Avicii's music but never really knew his story, it's such a great documentary.

Brad

Not to be a "well actually" type but drinking warm drinks doesn't technically make you warmer. The blood vessels in your mouth constrict due to the heat and that causes you to go flush for a moment which your body may respond to with causing you to sweat which is the body's attempt to COOL you down. So if anything it makes you colder, but your perception of the cold around you changes very briefly because you go flush. In reality your body temperature doesn't change very much at all and if you are in cold weather you will still need a jacket or whatever to actually warm up. So you weren't even wrong, you got dogpiled for no reason. [SOURCE] "Yes, the hot drink is hotter than your body temperature, so you are adding heat to the body, but the amount that you increase your sweating by—if that can all evaporate—more than compensates for the the added heat to the body from the fluid." https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/a-hot-drink-on-a-hot-day-can-cool-you-down-1338875/#:~:text=Their%20answer%2C%20in%20short%3A%20Yes,How%20does%20this%20work%3F

Heather McKirdy

I’m 35 and until last year I thought everyone got stomach pain when they eat, turns out I have a lot of food allergies and intolerances

Brianna Garcia

That’s the only reason I could think of why I thought he was black too. Sandlot was first and only time I heard of babe ruth as a kid

Sasha

I love my wine about it too and it came super fast! Although I made a mistake with the colour and can’t match it with anything 😂

Brianna Garcia

I also thought Babe Ruth was black but idk why I thought that

LordMajorChase .

This is not true Adderall is amphetamine meth is methamphetamine. They are similar but not the same thing. Adderall is much more mild and less addictive than meth.

KT

I've for sure had a teacher in elementary talk about how hot drinks make you warm and cold drinks make you cool, but maybe it's just because I live in an area of Canada where we get the extremes of the temperature spectrum.

AxialMars

wowie

kron

It doesn't look like Babe Ruth was uniquely racist for the time? Also I thought he was Italian too for some reason even though wtf kind of Italian last name is Babe. And I guess there was rumors he was mixed race and Ty Cobb would call him the n-word???? Wtf is going on?

ineedsleep

Some people def think Babe Ruth was black due to misremembering baseball history but there's def people that speculate that he was due to his features and fondness for the Negro League. The latter has always been a thing.

This Guy

the set is giving wine *tastefully zesty tongue click* 💅💅💅 - a straight guy

Mando Chil

We love Aria

Jaret Strickert

That’s exactly what I thought

Mikey

I guess only people who know some baseball history would know he is white. Black people weren't allowed in the mlb until the 40s I'm pretty sure. Babe ruth played in the 20s.

kron

my wai jacket came in the mail on monday and I think its my favorite piece of clothing ive ever owned

Trevor Ayala

Week 2 of begging Maya to fix her XLR cable. It's screaming for help. Be kind, save a life.

soloPFL

Hot drink girl? For me Maya will always be bird girl.🦉

Mikey

A fun fact people might not know is that temperature is just how fast the atoms in a thing are moving. So something being hotter than another thing means that the atoms are vibrating faster than in the colder thing. The coldest something can be is called absolute zero and it’s -273.15°C or -459.67°F. This would mean the atoms are not moving at all which is probably impossible but we have gotten very close. I don’t think we know for sure if there is a max on temperature but at some point all the energy would create a black hole at least in classical physics.

HeyBroItsBrad

Babe Ruth was “white” but white teammates used to call him “N word Lips” and tease him about not being white enough. He was likely mixed or Hispanic white.
