| 0:00.0 | What up, you beautiful bastards. Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday. Welcome back to the Philip |
| 0:04.0 | DeFranco Show. Buckle up. Hit that like button and let's just jump into it. The first thing |
| 0:08.2 | we're going to talk about today, we're going to start today off light before we get to the heavier |
| 0:10.9 | stories. By now, you've probably seen people all over the internet sharing pictures and video showing |
| 0:14.5 | their brooms standing up all on their own. Right, and that appears to be because of one viral tweet shared on Monday suggesting that NASA said it was the only day that a broom could do this because of the gravitational pull. And so as people do, for better |
| 0:23.7 | or worse, when they see a claim like this on the internet, thousands of people tried it. |
| 0:27.0 | Taking to social media, posting themselves trying the trick, making Broome challenge and other terms |
| 0:31.1 | trends. Right, you had everyone trying this, the Paul Abdul's futures, DJ Khalids of the world, even social media stars like Colleen Ballinger, Austin |
| 0:38.2 | McBroom, Laura DIY. The trend also eventually morphed into more than just brooms with people |

| 0:57.0 | this is not a one-day-only situation. It has nothing to do with the Earth's gravitational pull |
| 1:02.0 | on a particular day planetary alignments or a full moon despite what other internet users might tell you. |
| 1:07.0 | As astronaut Alvin Drew and scientist Sarah Noble explain here. |
| 1:10.0 | Did you do the broomstick challenge yesterday? |
| 1:12.2 | Well, turns out you could do it again today. |
| 1:14.6 | It's just physics. |
| 1:16.6 | Right, it's just about balancing. The center of gravity is low in a broom and it rests directly over the bristles. |
| 1:20.6 | And so if you can get the bristles positioned right, kind of like a tripod, your broom will stand upright any time of the year. |
| 1:24.6 | Also, asterisk there depends on the kind of broom you have. And also, if this whole trend seems familiar to you, it's because it's not exactly new. Like, |
| 1:30.9 | other things like this, this gimmick has popped up before. It's just that usually it's |
