Episode 032: Guy Branum & Emily Heller

==Description==
In honor of the #MaxFunDrive, Go Fact Yourself presents a special network crossover!
Guy Branum is a comedian and host of the podcast “Pop Rocket”. He’s also a pop culture savant, as detailed in his book My Life as a Goddess. If you want to know more about the pop culture he loves, you’ll have to read the book… but he’s happy to provide a glimpse through some of his answers today.
His opponent is a fellow comedian for whom he has a lot of respect (and fear): Emily Heller! You can hear her as the host of the podcast “Baby Geniuses”. Her show is all about explaining things. Today she’ll key in on a very important topic: Martha Stewart’s barnyard animals.
From personal heroes to classic television to the subtleties of regional coffee pot designs, this episode has it all.

===What's the Difference?===
Coffee/Coughy 
====Teapot vs Coffee Pot ====
Teapots are short and stout (ya know, like the song). This allows tea leaves plenty of room to steep and the spout is normally short, making it easer to clean any straggling tea leaves. Coffee pots are tall and thin (compared to a teapot). This allows plenty of space for coffee grounds to settle at the bottom and coffee pots have a longer spout set lower which helps keep the coffee warmer. 
====Phlegm vs Mucus ====
*from Dewey McClinn of Vista, CA
Mucus is a slippery secretion produced by cells in many parts of the body including the eyes, digestive tract, and respiratory system. Phlegm is a specific type of mucus produced only in the respiratory system, specifically from the lungs or throat. Fun fact, its phlegm in your throat but sputum when you cough it up.
