[00:01:31] Speaker B: The fun times at school and times where I really liked spending time with friends, which I really loved all the time.
But what I didn't like was when I had arguments. When I went out of control was serious.
[00:01:54] Speaker C: Well, you know, sometimes that happens. And what do we do in those moments when we have arguments?

Oh, and you're gonna be in gifted again in middle school?
[00:02:42] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Still in my experience, probably. I don't know.
[00:02:46] Speaker C: Yeah, probably.
Well, let's see.
You have recently become interested in flags in different countries. Flags. What?
[00:02:57] Speaker B: And past countries.
[00:02:58] Speaker C: Yeah. And what country, what flags have you seen lately that really got you interested?
[00:03:05] Speaker B: Soviet Union.
[00:03:07] Speaker C: Soviet Union. Okay.
[00:03:09] Speaker B: Vatican City. Vatican City, French Empire, Ottoman Empire.
[00:03:15] Speaker C: Ah, so you've been looking at history flags.
[00:03:18] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:03:18] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
Okay. No, so no, no, like recent flags, like at the World cup, none of those flags would make you interested.
[00:03:27] Speaker B: Nah, I already seen those flags.
[00:03:30] Speaker C: Okay.
Which team in the World cup are you going for and why is it usa.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: Usa. It's biggest allies and it's because that I do not support communism and I do not support countries that do not support the US So that's why. But some of them are going. Some of them are going in the World Cup. Against each other. So I wouldn't know which one I'd pick. So I see which one who wins.
[00:04:00] Speaker C: Have you been playing any of your NBA game lately on PlayStation?
[00:04:05] Speaker B: No, I haven't even playing. Played my PS5 lately.
[00:04:11] Speaker C: Oh, okay. Do. Have you been watching any of the NBA finals with San Antonio and New York?
No. No.
Let's see. What else could we talk about?
[00:04:23] Speaker B: Oh, we can talk about.
Oh, what does 50 stars in the US means?
[00:04:32] Speaker C: Okay, tell us, what do they mean?
[00:04:34] Speaker B: All the 50 stars.
So like, you know, the. As the stars added up as the USA gained more states, so they added one more star for each state.
[00:04:49] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:04:50] Speaker B: So. So all the 50 stars in the US flag represents all 50 states.
[00:04:56] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: Wow. Back then when the 13 stripes was invented, the French empire, the vendee of France supported the protein colonies to gain into independence. Because the vendee of France did not like the Great Britain as it.
As they were close enemies.
[00:05:23] Speaker C: Right.
[00:05:23] Speaker B: And they went to war later because.
So 13 colonies gained independence and they all formed the US and then AS.
As territories gained, more stars were added.
[00:05:41] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:05:42] Speaker B: But some state. Some stars were removed from the U. S. Flag after the Civil War began.
So but as. But when the stars came back, that means that the states were reunified.
[00:05:56] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:05:58] Speaker B: And then it got the rest of the states from Mexico as the American American Mexican empire as war again. California, New Mexico, Arizona, more and more.
So that's all I have to say.
[00:06:19] Speaker C: Yep. What else do you want to tell the people about today?
[00:06:27] Speaker B: About information, about.
About dreams of countries.
And this one in Italy? Well, over centuries, as the Roman Empire collapsed, Italy has been trying to revive it for centuries.
So that's Italy's dream, obviously.
[00:06:47] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:06:50] Speaker B: So Italy and.
[00:06:56] Speaker C: Oh, keep talking.
[00:07:02] Speaker B: And China, they want to occupy Taiwan because they recognize Taiwan as part of their territory. Yeah, but what they do not know reality. Reality that is actually an independent country and they realize that, so they want it back.
[00:07:22] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: But it's supported by the US So that's how the argument started.
[00:07:29] Speaker C: Yes.
You are wearing a Messi T shirt. Are you excited to watch him in the World cup with Argentina?
[00:07:38] Speaker B: I mean.
Well, I'm not really a big fan of them anymore, but I mean.
Yeah, he's one of the major soccer players.
[00:07:50] Speaker C: Yeah, he is.
Well, before we go, do you want to tell the people anything else?
[00:07:57] Speaker B: Well, I like to tell them empires of some countries.
[00:08:05] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: But the US Wants try to name an empire, but it can't because the. Because already felt like the name was an empire. So I couldn't do name an empire.
[00:08:16] Speaker C: Right.
[00:08:17] Speaker B: But then the empire, or more like a country collapsed because Philippines, Liberia, other countries gained independence.
[00:08:29] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:08:30] Speaker B: So the US Is how it is. But Spain had a real empire called the Spanish Empire, Kingdom of Portugal.
Portugal actually made a treaty with Spain of splitting the world in half.
[00:08:50] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:08:52] Speaker B: The Spanish empire gained over most of the world.
Oh, wow. Portugal had Brazil. Brazil didn't gain in certain language because it wanted.
Because it strongly supported Portugal.
But speaking of Brazil, the Kingdom of Brazil captured Uruguay with it.
[00:09:29] Speaker C: Yeah,
[00:09:31] Speaker B: well, well. And.
And I mentioned this name.
So United Kingdom had an empire called the Great Britain. Okay, fun fact. The Great. Great Britain was the world's biggest empire in the world, Surpassing the Mongol empire, which expanded most of Asia and south of Europe.
[00:09:58] Speaker C: Wow.
All right, well, I think that's about enough for today's episode. We can. You know, we don't want to tell everybody that all the historical facts that they. I suggest you check for yourself before you listen to us.
[00:10:16] Speaker B: Hey, stop that.
[00:10:19] Speaker C: Well, you want to.
[00:10:20] Speaker B: How about us? Yeah.
[00:10:22] Speaker C: You want to tell everybody goodbye and have a good day and we'll see them next time.
[00:10:26] Speaker B: Bye.
[00:10:29] Speaker C: Thank you all for listening.
