Hey folks, have you ever stayed up late wondering things like, what do extraterrestrial radio signals and a mushroom from Texas have in common?

Or what is a number station and why is it so spine-tigglingly creepy?

Well, Erica and listeners, Shane and Duncan of Midnight Facts for Insomniacs, actually have an entire podcast about that.

Midnight Facts for Insomniacs is a podcast of fascinating facts.

Paul, what's your favorite fascinating fact?

The fact that B.B. Newworth is the only actress to have played all three principal roles in Chicago during a single run of that show.

That is fascinating.

It is. I find it endlessly fascinating.

From the psychology of gambling to the evolution of cats. They do the research so you don't have to.

Now, wait a minute. What's your favorite fascinating fact? The fact that they used to use vibrators to

cure hysteria back in Victorian times, which is so hilarious because it's like women were just

like, oops, I have hysteria again. Oh, no. What am I to do? So everyone, tune into midnight

facts for insomniacs wherever you are listening to us. A few days ago, it was my cousin's birthday.

And I didn't realize this quite at first, but she hasn't been responding to my texts in a while. And I think I was like, oh, she maybe changed her number. And you know what you did. I forgot to tell. I know what I did. She spoke. She's mad at me. She did not know. No, truthfully, because I did talk to her after all of this. And she's like, sorry, I forgot to give you my new number. She moved.

She got a new number.

So I texted her for her birthday, and I wrote, let me just read to you what I wrote to her. Hope this is still your number. If it is, happy birthday, all caps, acclamation points, emojis, emojis, emojis, emojis. Okay. And then I wrote to be cute and adorable and put something sweet and nice out in the world.

It's your natural state.

You always return to it. emojis emojis. Okay. And then I wrote, to be cute and adorable and put something sweet and nice out in the world.

It's your natural state.

You always return to it.

If it's not, then, hello, stranger. This is Janet's cousin Erica. Which, okay, look, I stepped on a rake. I know I stepped on a rake now. And I know. You've got the world. But I had an image in my mind of someone being like, LOL, wrong number, hope your cousin has a great day.

Fine.
