puzzle uh what else did I want to look up I wanted to look up is really called V tape I I mean I how do you even search for that I got to I got to ask a question that we're going to get like Google AI um what is the tape inside whoops what is the tape inside uh VHS cassette called VHS inside VHS cassette uh all right inner working of the VHS cassette there's the tape inner reels but what is the tape call here we go this one VHS Wikipedia let's go there let's go there VHS invented 1976 how do you like that um competition with beta Max yeah cassette and tape design five filips head screws it

changing LED strip lights for TV TV this is no these are I see at the the Home Depot no no all right so I'm I'm calling I'm calling a fake word or not really a word on that one um you got it to fit the the grid you're allowed to do that but uh I don't know I'm calling I'm calling shenanigans on that one uh on TV tape sorry Luke but it's great puzzle great great them I skipped the theme oh my goodness what kind of what kind of of uh YouTube solver am I so the theme all right so let's get back to this all right the theme Here We Go typ casting so what we're doing is it's we're casting there's people's names uh we're and they're all actor or they're all uh they're mostly actors now some of like Mark Twain wasn't all right but there people whose first names are then used in word uh word play to make a a a phrase and the other word in that phrase is what you do to those names so quotation mark Mark Ruffalo and Mark Twain are both people people they are marks the Ruff and Twain are in quotation mark are in quotes so those are quotation marks uh Gan harlo uh and Jean Smart are both people um but if you cut off the last names they are cut off jeans so there we go um Jack Lord uh is an actor right and Jack Kemp is an American politician um not the most successful he ran for president but he did not win the sorry he ran well he ran in the primary for president he ran for vice president um on a ticket with somebody who lost was it somebody who lost to Bill Clinton I think so I'm thinking like right around 1996 or so um not sure was right around there wait did you run with George bu was he was George Bush's second running mate wasn't it bush in Camp he had Dan Quail George W bush maybe or did he run with George HW Bush wait no George W bush won two times George HW Bush lost his second time he was vice he was President he was vice president under Reagan and then he was president and Dan Quail was his but was his running was his vice president but the second time did he run with Jack Kemp maybe and then he lost to Bill Clinton um that could be it somewhere around then late '90s anyhow Jack Camp American politician and uh so jumping cuz the middle of them they're like going over it's like they're jumping so jumping jacks that's pretty good uh then we have two in this row Starbucks and long johns that's pretty good U Buck O'Neal uh manager baseball manager Buck Rogers of the 25th Century is a fictional character and uh and so yeah so those are uh there have star they have astr CU Stars those are Starbucks and of course Starbucks is you know uh I hear they sell a cup or two of coffee I hear they they're starting to starting spread out as a franchise um anyway Long John's those are John's John Steen of the wrestler John lenon of The Beatles but they're SE and Len and those are long johns ha uh spiced jeans Jean Wilder is an actor uh Jean Roddenberry was creator of Star Trek but you splice them together and make Wilder rotenberry cuz they're they're spliced so spliced jeans uh and then we have dashed hopes so Hope Solo um was the uh is no was um is no she's no uh but anyway gained Fame as the United States uh Women's National Team the usw NT goalkeeper um won a World Cup or three and with that and uh hope Lang I'm not sure who you are but we have dashes actually hyphens and inside your name or are they end dashes I don't know inside between every so they're dashed hopes and finally we have two bills uh Bill Russell and Bill blast have two dollar signs in place of the s's so there you go uh I think that's enough was there something else I wanted to look up we looked up the todge which was which was cool um there was something around there that was like oh I got to look that up it wasn't Raglin that's a that's a a fashion word Raglin uh what in no which is Italian for nine and the dryer load is done Ah that's what that sound is no what is there was something else that I was going to it was like a four-letter word it was going down somewhere around here I thought I don't know wasn't Nate the great he's going across wasn't uh I was like what is that what is oh it was the K kiwis and ceries uh it was this word not a four-letter word and not going down um but a or C is a ratite never heard that word ratite before let's look it up all right let's do that um so what is a ratite is probably is a word for an extinct species so ratti Rite Birds yeah okay adjective having a flat breast bone without a oh it's unable to fly so it has nothing to do with being extinct it's a flightless bird oh cuz the Kiwi is is ex kiwi apparently is not uh is not extinct sorry kiwi I apologize uh and to you new zealanders who have taken the Kiwi as your national bird if that is in fact the case I apologize um now you're right I I was thinking of the uh the a um which is what Madagascar not New Zealand but it's one of those large islands to the south and east of another larger land mass you got new Zealand compared to Australia you got Madagascar compared to the African Mainland they're not the same but that I maybe I was thinking that that's that's a stretch I was actually thinking that I don't know about that uh anyhow so large flightless birds with a ratite breast bone for example the ostra the Ria the Emu CER and the Kiwi along with the extinct MOA and elephant bird elephant bird cool um but wait wait most ly lordge these are the ostrich the re of the Emu are not okay so we have two different groups here two different definitions here we have the the Oxford languages definition that Google picked out for me then we have the Wikipedia definition saying the only no oh the only nocturnal exent Rite so the other ones are they are awaken the day okay so the Kiwi okay so all right that means if you're a ratite you're either extinct or you're awake during the day or you're a kiwi okay that's that's not as special as I thought um large flightless bird with a ratite breastbone a flat breast bone without a Keel and so unable to fly okay well there we go I learned I absolutely learned that one um I didn't even know that was a thing um I knew there were flightless birds I didn't know why apparently it's because of their lack of a breast bone lack of a killed breast bone all right I think that's it is there anything else I mean there there is but we could spend an hour doing this but you know what we got other places to go I I get it so enjoy whatever you get you got some gardening to do go do some gardening you're going to go write a poem go write a poem you got a little work to do it's okay you make your decisions all right I'm not going to preach I am going to keep making videos maybe every day maybe take you know days off here or there but I'm having fun doing this and that's the goal and I hope you're having fun and have a wonderful wonderful day and I will see you in the future bye-bye
