00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:15,980
This week we are traveling back
in time with the team at Culture

5
00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:18,849
Kids Asher and his mom Kristen.

6
00:00:18,910 --> 00:00:22,060
Join me at the Getty Villa
Museum to learn about

7
00:00:22,070 --> 00:00:23,600
Roman dinner parties.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,789
Then we travel back in
time to experience one.

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,710
In this two part series,
you'll learn more about how

10
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:34,960
and what the Romans eight,
especially when they wanted

11
00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:36,590
to show off to their friends.

12
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:38,860
You are joining for part two.

13
00:00:39,230 --> 00:00:41,570
If you haven't heard
part one, head back to

00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:47,449

adventures to explore
traditions, stories, foods,

17
00:00:51,589 --> 00:00:54,840
languages, animals, and
the people behind them.

18
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:58,900
They bridge communities
through curiosity and kindness.

19
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:03,669
If you love to travel, eat,
learn, or all three, you'll love

20
00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:05,820
these globe-trotting adventures.

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:06,970
Let's go!

22
00:01:12,850 --> 00:01:14,160
Mom: Hello, Culture Kids!

23
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:17,429
Grab your imaginary passports
and your bags because it's

24
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:20,840
time to become world trotting
explorers, right where you are.

25
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:21,469
Asher: Hello?

26
00:01:21,469 --> 00:01:21,804
Hello.

27
00:01:22,139 --> 00:01:25,456
My name is Asher and I’m the
host along with my mom Kristen.

28
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:28,420
Mom: Today we're hopping on
our Culture Kids time machine,

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,050
and traveling all the way back
to continue our Roman dinner

30
00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:35,179
party with Miss Zoe, the
producer for the Getty Museum’s

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,120
podcast, If objects could talk.

32
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,760
We're going to see what dinner
looked like 2000 years ago

33
00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:42,570
for wealthy ancient Romans.

34
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:46,539
Before we get started on
our adventure, we wanna

35
00:01:46,559 --> 00:01:49,110
say thank you to go Amber
for your five star rating.

36
00:01:49,389 --> 00:01:52,300
They said we loved how cool it
was to learn about our native

37
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:55,360
home Nigeria in a podcast,
please cover more tribes.

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:55,830
Asher: Cool.

39
00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:58,230
I want to go back to Nigeria.

40
00:01:58,539 --> 00:01:59,860
That was fun and yummy.

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,970
Mom: And a big thank you
to Marlena and their family

42
00:02:01,970 --> 00:02:03,120
for their five star rating.

43
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:05,580
They said, I'm Marlena
and I'm seven years old.

44
00:02:05,629 --> 00:02:07,440
I love traveling with
you and your podcast.

45
00:02:07,580 --> 00:02:09,590
I got a passport and we're
going to England soon.

46
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:11,990
Can you do an episode about
German Christmas markets?

47
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Asher: Thank you, Marlena.

48
00:02:13,390 --> 00:02:14,600
This is a great idea.

49
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:17,760
Mom: And Culture Kids,
there's still time to submit

50
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:21,650
your joke for our very first
Culture Kids Joke Fest.

51
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:24,859
This special episode will air
during the last week of December

52
00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:27,959
featuring some of the funniest
jokes from our amazing Culture

53
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,410
Kids listeners around the world.

54
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:32,630
All you have to do is leave
your joke on Apple Podcasts

55
00:02:32,650 --> 00:02:34,879
along with the five-star
rating, and you might hear

56
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,859
it featured on the show.

57
00:02:36,099 --> 00:02:37,440
Asher: Please make us laugh.

58
00:02:38,130 --> 00:02:38,670
Thank you.

59
00:02:40,750 --> 00:02:41,569
Mom: Okay, Culture Kids.

60
00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:45,149
I think our magical Culture
Kids time machine is revving

61
00:02:45,150 --> 00:02:48,570
up Before we hop on board,
remember, if you haven't joined

62
00:02:48,570 --> 00:02:51,569
us for our last adventure
with Miss Zoe, make sure

63
00:02:51,570 --> 00:02:54,070
to listen to that first one
so you're all caught up.

64
00:02:54,179 --> 00:02:56,570
Asher: We learned so
much about Ancient Rome.

65
00:02:56,870 --> 00:02:59,889
Mom: Yes, and we also visited
the Getty Villa Museum in Los

66
00:02:59,889 --> 00:03:02,869
Angeles, California, where we
learned that the whole building

67
00:03:02,870 --> 00:03:06,200
was designed to look just like
an ancient Roman seaside villa.

68
00:03:06,870 --> 00:03:09,120
Asher: But the real
villa that inspired it

69
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,700
is actually in Italy.

70
00:03:11,170 --> 00:03:11,940
Mom: Yes, it is.

71
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:15,719
It is buried beneath layers
of ash from Mount Vesuvius.

72
00:03:16,020 --> 00:03:18,589
The Getty Villa brings that
ancient world back to life,

73
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:21,660
so we can imagine how Romans
lived, played, and dined

74
00:03:21,850 --> 00:03:23,110
thousands of years ago.

75
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,790
Asher: And now we get to
time travel back there

76
00:03:25,790 --> 00:03:28,500
to see what a real dinner
party looked like back then.

77
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:30,850
But wait, can they see us?

78
00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:32,810
Mom: No, they cannot.

79
00:03:32,969 --> 00:03:35,529
That's the magic of our
Culture Kids time machine.

80
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,839
We're invisible explorers
sneaking through history

81
00:03:38,839 --> 00:03:40,179
like friendly ghosts.

82
00:03:41,470 --> 00:03:42,839
Asher: I hear our time machine.

83
00:03:43,070 --> 00:03:43,570
Mom: Yep.

84
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,079
Culture Kids get ready to buckle
up for a new adventure on our

85
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,669
culture train time machine.

86
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,120
Once again, we're heading back
2000 years to witness a real

87
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,330
ancient Roman dinner party,
live in action with real guests,

88
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,800
reclining, sipping, and dining.

89
00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:03,350
So buckle up now because
we're time traveling on

90
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:04,869
our culture train to:
[All Aboard!]

91
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:09,609
Ancient Rome!

92
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:32,650
Asher: Let’s gooooo!

93
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,849
[music and train sounds]

94
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:39,620
Mom: Welcome back to
Ancient Rome Culture Kids.

95
00:04:39,889 --> 00:04:42,209
It's really dark here
because it's evening.

96
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:46,289
But look, off in the distance
I can see a soft golden glow

97
00:04:46,340 --> 00:04:48,219
coming from a grand room.

98
00:04:48,670 --> 00:04:51,240
That's the triclinium
where we were last time.

99
00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:52,660
The Roman dining room.

100
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,510
Let's walk closer, Culture Kids.

101
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,150
The walls are flickering
with firelight, and I

102
00:04:59,150 --> 00:05:01,510
can smell delicious food
drifting through the air.

103
00:05:01,820 --> 00:05:04,630
Warm, fresh bread,
roasted meats and herbs

104
00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:06,339
like rosemary and thyme.

105
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,390
There are people quietly
setting out silver

106
00:05:09,390 --> 00:05:10,700
trays and polished cups.

107
00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:13,570
Their footsteps soft
against the marble floor.

108
00:05:14,010 --> 00:05:17,000
The room feels alive,
glowing, warm, and ready

109
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,400
for the guests to arrive.

110
00:05:19,150 --> 00:05:21,239
Asher: Um, it's so dark here.

111
00:05:21,299 --> 00:05:22,970
I can barely see my toes.

112
00:05:23,420 --> 00:05:25,410
Mom: What's the
shadow behind us?

113
00:05:25,410 --> 00:05:27,830
It's getting bigger and bigger.

114
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,070
Asher: Hello anyone?

115
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:32,110
It’s a ghost!

116
00:05:32,270 --> 00:05:33,280
Mom: Oh my goodness.

117
00:05:33,559 --> 00:05:34,349
It's Miss Zoe.

118
00:05:35,929 --> 00:05:37,500
Asher: Oh, hi.

119
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:37,510
Zoe: Hi.

120
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,279
So sorry to scare you guys.

121
00:05:39,380 --> 00:05:41,319
It's quite dark
in here, isn't it?

122
00:05:41,699 --> 00:05:43,859
Mom: Well, we are
so glad to see you.

123
00:05:44,389 --> 00:05:47,900
Asher: I thought you were a
ghost, but no, I wasn't scared.

124
00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:51,090
Mom: So we know that we
time traveled on our magical

125
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,120
culture train time machine,
but could you remind us

126
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,270
where we are exactly?

127
00:05:55,719 --> 00:05:56,269
Zoe: Yeah.

128
00:05:56,690 --> 00:06:00,530
We are here at our villa for our
Roman dinner party in the Bay of

129
00:06:00,530 --> 00:06:03,060
Naples in the first century CE.

130
00:06:03,290 --> 00:06:06,500
Asher: Well, I'm looking
forward to it, but could

131
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:07,670
you turn on the lights?

132
00:06:08,030 --> 00:06:08,250
Mom: Yeah.

133
00:06:08,250 --> 00:06:09,719
There's so many shadows here.

134
00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:13,190
Zoe: Remember, this is
2000 years ago, so there's

135
00:06:13,190 --> 00:06:14,450
no electricity here.

136
00:06:14,730 --> 00:06:15,490
Asher: Oh right.

137
00:06:16,029 --> 00:06:16,739
Electricity.

138
00:06:17,570 --> 00:06:18,819
But I see some lights.

139
00:06:19,209 --> 00:06:20,489
Are those candles?

140
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:22,780
Zoe: Good question, Asher.

141
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:27,100
Sometimes Romans used candles,
but torches and oil lamps

142
00:06:27,150 --> 00:06:30,400
were the main ways Romans
lit their homes and streets.

143
00:06:31,090 --> 00:06:35,350
See here I've got three of my
favorite oil lamps that we can

144
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:37,240
use today to light our way.

145
00:06:38,140 --> 00:06:41,390
These oil lamps have a little
hole on the top where you

146
00:06:41,390 --> 00:06:44,989
can pour oil in, and then
you'd put a little wick in

147
00:06:44,990 --> 00:06:46,960
this other hole and light it.

148
00:06:47,349 --> 00:06:50,580
Then the oil from the lamp
would travel up the wick and

149
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:52,530
keep it burning for hours.

150
00:06:53,230 --> 00:06:55,840
Mom: And looking closely
at these oil lamps, Miss Zoe

151
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:59,810
is holding, they are all
very interesting in shape.

152
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,438
Asher: I see an oil lamp
that looks like...feet?

153
00:07:06,438 --> 00:07:08,340
And an oil lamp that kind
of looks like a really funny

154
00:07:08,349 --> 00:07:12,050
face, kind of like a clown.

155
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:15,450
Mom: You're right, Asher
one lamp is shaped like a

156
00:07:15,490 --> 00:07:18,330
pair of feet, and another
one is shaped like what

157
00:07:18,330 --> 00:07:19,900
looks like a clown mask.

158
00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:21,670
Miss Zoe, why is that?

159
00:07:22,690 --> 00:07:25,330
Zoe: These lamps were
useful, but they were also

160
00:07:25,349 --> 00:07:27,159
a good place to have fun.

161
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:29,280
Romans loved a good joke.

162
00:07:29,410 --> 00:07:34,120
So popular lamp designs might
be animals or gods and goddesses

163
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,960
or comic actors’ masks…or feet.

164
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,820
Asher: Can I please
have the feet lamp?

165
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,539
I want it so badly.

166
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:42,180
Zoe: Of course.

167
00:07:43,150 --> 00:07:45,690
And if you wanna hear more from
this lamp shaped like a pair

168
00:07:45,690 --> 00:07:49,159
of feet, you can hear what it
has to say on If Objects Could

169
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,860
Talk, the podcast from the Getty.

170
00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:51,640
Asher: Awesome.

171
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:53,310
Mom: And I'll take
the one shaped like

172
00:07:53,310 --> 00:07:54,670
a comic actor's mask.

173
00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:55,590
Zoe: Here you go.

174
00:07:56,490 --> 00:07:58,340
Asher: I can't believe
I'm holding a feet

175
00:07:58,340 --> 00:07:59,710
lamp in ancient Rome.

176
00:07:59,950 --> 00:08:01,699
I wanna tickle the toes.

177
00:08:03,530 --> 00:08:06,590
Mom: Well, now that we got
our oil lamps, let's go closer

178
00:08:06,590 --> 00:08:07,890
to this Roman dinner party.

179
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,410
Zoe: Let's go this way.

180
00:08:15,150 --> 00:08:16,000
Mom: Wow, Culture kids.

181
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:16,320


182
00:08:16,420 --> 00:08:19,640
We are back in the triclinium
from last time and there are

183
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,919
still three U-shaped couches
with small side tables and

184
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,490
a big table full of food
and I can't believe it.

185
00:08:26,670 --> 00:08:30,160
We see real ancient Romans
lounging on these couches.

186
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,339
One, two, three, four, five,
or six of them lounging

187
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:38,200
on their sides as they
are talking and laughing.

188
00:08:38,659 --> 00:08:41,099
I also see people bringing
them trays of food.

189
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,390
Asher: They are definitely
having a good time.

190
00:08:44,660 --> 00:08:45,490
Are they a family?

191
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,080
Who are these people?

192
00:08:47,770 --> 00:08:50,500
Zoe: So this is the villa
of a wealthy family.

193
00:08:50,610 --> 00:08:52,550
They're showing off
at this dinner party.

194
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:56,499
They might have invited some
politicians or business partners

195
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,980
or clients to dinner too.

196
00:08:59,539 --> 00:08:59,859
Asher: Hmm.

197
00:08:59,910 --> 00:09:00,819
Their clothes look
very different.

198
00:09:01,510 --> 00:09:01,829
Mom: Yes.

199
00:09:01,850 --> 00:09:03,860
Their clothes sure do
look different from

200
00:09:03,860 --> 00:09:05,150
what we normally wear.

201
00:09:05,460 --> 00:09:09,040
Most of the guests are
wearing soft, comfy outfits

202
00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:11,820
that look like loose
robes or long pajamas.

203
00:09:12,820 --> 00:09:15,429
And we learned in the last
episode that there's no shoes

204
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,860
in the triclinium, so I can see
their bare feet and toes too.

205
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,180
Zoe: Actually, when we look at
them, this is maybe a gathering

206
00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:26,090
of friends because they're
wearing a more casual dinner

207
00:09:26,099 --> 00:09:28,170
outfit called a cenatoria.

208
00:09:28,370 --> 00:09:29,650
That means dinner suit.

209
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,260
It’s loose fitting so that
they can be comfortable when

210
00:09:33,260 --> 00:09:35,480
they eat as much as possible.

211
00:09:36,090 --> 00:09:38,640
It's a sort of belted,
colorful tunic.

212
00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:40,520
Asher: That sounds very comfy.

213
00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:43,010
I wanna wear these for
Thanksgiving and eat all

214
00:09:43,010 --> 00:09:44,480
the pumpkin pie I want.
[Gobble sounds]

215
00:09:47,150 --> 00:09:48,890
Mom: What kind of
foods are they eating?

216
00:09:49,210 --> 00:09:52,030
It's a little hard to
tell with all the shadows.

217
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,069
Asher: It smells like
warm bread and chicken.

218
00:09:55,970 --> 00:09:58,870
Mom: I can definitely see that
there are a lot of meat dishes

219
00:09:58,890 --> 00:10:00,130
being served at the table.

220
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,640
Zoe: A lot of the food is
probably similar to things

221
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,810
we'd find on our tables today.

222
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:07,670
You see some fruits and
vegetables, maybe also

223
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:10,060
eggs, cheese, meat, or fish.

224
00:10:10,789 --> 00:10:13,490
Meat and dairy were pretty
expensive, so that's

225
00:10:13,490 --> 00:10:16,140
another way we can tell
this is a wealthy family.

226
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,760
And of course they are
using herbs from their

227
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,660
garden and spices that came
from as far away as India.

228
00:10:23,170 --> 00:10:25,509
Mom: I love that Ancient
Romans also love to try

229
00:10:25,509 --> 00:10:27,510
new flavors from different
parts of the world.

230
00:10:27,820 --> 00:10:29,799
Asher: So maybe I'll go
sit with them and eat

231
00:10:29,850 --> 00:10:30,689
like an invisible ghost.

232
00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:35,980
Zoe: Well, you could, but
I'll warn you, Culture Kids,

233
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:39,330
some of the foods here are
a little different from

234
00:10:39,330 --> 00:10:40,559
what you might be used to.

235
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,520
Today, people around the
world might eat meats like

236
00:10:44,540 --> 00:10:46,579
chicken, beef, or pork, right?

237
00:10:47,260 --> 00:10:51,569
Here in ancient Rome, goat, boar,
and venison were more common.

238
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:55,560
But they also served things
that are less common today.

239
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,890
Like if you look closely at
this table, I think they're

240
00:10:59,890 --> 00:11:02,840
actually serving flamingo!

241
00:11:03,650 --> 00:11:04,189
Asher: Wait, what?

242
00:11:04,350 --> 00:11:07,720
Flamingo, like the pink
bird with really long legs?

243
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,520
That is different.

244
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:10,300
Zoe: Yes.

245
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:12,490
A very rare meal.

246
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:16,799
This family is definitely
trying to impress their guests.

247
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:17,830
Asher: But okay.

248
00:11:17,929 --> 00:11:19,212
I see something that
I definitely know.

249
00:11:19,212 --> 00:11:23,300
I see bread, lots of it.

250
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:26,480
Zoe: Roman bread is very similar
to modern bread and was a

251
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,400
daily staple for most people.

252
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,940
We've even found bread
preserved by the Vesuvius

253
00:11:31,950 --> 00:11:35,649
eruption and bread appears in
murals from this period too.

254
00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:39,160
Asher: Maybe I'll sneak up
and take a piece of bread

255
00:11:39,610 --> 00:11:44,060
and they won't see me because
I'm invisible. [evil laugh]

256
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,020
Mom: And do they
also enjoy desserts?

257
00:11:46,490 --> 00:11:46,790
Asher: Yeah.

258
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,689
Why do I feel like there's
going to be a chocolate

259
00:11:49,690 --> 00:11:50,720
fountain or something?

260
00:11:50,849 --> 00:11:53,010
Zoe: No dinner party is
complete without dessert.

261
00:11:53,550 --> 00:11:57,380
So these would've been sweetened
with grapes, dates, or honey,

262
00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:02,590
maybe like a honey sweetened
pancake or sweet fried cheese.

263
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,670
Asher: Oh, healthy desserts.

264
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:08,329
But hey, in Korea we
have honey pancakes too.

265
00:12:08,929 --> 00:12:09,430
They're called hotteok.

266
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:11,610
Zoe: That's so interesting.

267
00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:14,989
There are a lot of similarities
in food across the world.

268
00:12:15,420 --> 00:12:17,329
Mom: Apparently across
different centuries too!

269
00:12:19,439 --> 00:12:19,729
Okay.

270
00:12:19,730 --> 00:12:23,380
But I do have to ask, is this
a very rare dinner party?

271
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,260
Meaning, did all other
ancient Romans eat like this?

272
00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:29,189
Zoe: Remember, this is
a very wealthy family.

273
00:12:29,270 --> 00:12:32,569
Not every Roman ate like this,
and even the wealthy Romans

274
00:12:32,670 --> 00:12:34,189
didn't eat like this every day.

275
00:12:34,410 --> 00:12:38,120
Many Romans actually ate
takeout from little restaurants.

276
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,120
Many Romans didn't even
have a kitchen at home.

277
00:12:41,210 --> 00:12:44,120
I mean, fire is pretty
dangerous, right?

278
00:12:44,790 --> 00:12:47,970
Most Romans would eat out at
thermopolia, which is sort

279
00:12:47,970 --> 00:12:50,489
of like the prepared food
section of the grocery store,

280
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,040
or a fast food restaurant.

281
00:12:52,580 --> 00:12:54,529
They would not be cooking
like this every day.

282
00:12:54,910 --> 00:12:58,150
Asher: That would be cool if
they had an ancient Roman drive-thru.

283
00:12:58,970 --> 00:12:59,510
With horses.

284
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,380
Mom: Ah, speaking of drive
through, looks like our magical

285
00:13:05,380 --> 00:13:08,490
culture train is here to take
us back home to the year 2025.

286
00:13:09,250 --> 00:13:11,460
We better hop on before
Asher takes off his

287
00:13:11,460 --> 00:13:13,950
shoes to cozy up on the
couches with these guests.

288
00:13:13,950 --> 00:13:14,980
Asher: I might or am I not?

289
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,130
Mom: But Culture Kids, please
remember to check out Miss

290
00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:22,150
Zoe's fascinating show,
If Objects Could Talk, to

291
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:24,470
learn more about some of
these fun ancient artifacts

292
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:25,420
we learned about today.

293
00:13:26,020 --> 00:13:28,660
Zoe: And if you're in LA, come
by the Getty Villa in person

294
00:13:28,779 --> 00:13:31,270
and check out some of these
ancient objects in real life.

295
00:13:31,610 --> 00:13:32,610
Bye Culture Kids.

296
00:13:32,620 --> 00:13:33,320
Bye Kristen.

297
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,290
Bye Asher.

298
00:13:34,550 --> 00:13:35,670
See you next time.

299
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:36,459
Asher: Bye, Culture Kids!

300
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,830
Mom: And to our
Culture Kids families,

301
00:13:42,219 --> 00:13:45,640
isn't it fascinating to know
that even thousands of years

302
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,170
ago, ancient Romans loved
gathering, learning, and sharing

303
00:13:49,170 --> 00:13:50,920
meals just like we do today?

304
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,820
It reminds us that no matter
where or when we come from,

305
00:13:55,060 --> 00:13:57,969
people have always been
curious, creative, and

306
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,730
connected by the stories
we share around the table.

307
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,550
So keep exploring, asking
questions, and remember

308
00:14:04,619 --> 00:14:08,050
every culture, past or
present helps us see how

309
00:14:08,060 --> 00:14:10,949
people everywhere love to
learn, create, and share.

310
00:14:11,380 --> 00:14:14,420
And lastly, always remember
you and your family are

311
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:17,220
valued, welcomed, and
celebrated for exactly who

312
00:14:17,220 --> 00:14:21,709
you are because every child
belongs here at Culture Kids.

313
00:14:46,249 --> 00:14:46,403
See you next week.

314
00:14:46,403 --> 00:14:46,455
Bye-bye.

315
00:14:46,455 --> 00:14:46,780
Asher: Joke time!

316
00:14:48,450 --> 00:14:49,230
Can I go first?

317
00:14:49,650 --> 00:14:50,540
Mom: Yes, go for it.

318
00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:54,800
Asher: Why did the Medieval
Knight always carry a pencil?

319
00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:56,180
Mom: Why?

320
00:14:56,830 --> 00:14:59,689
Asher: In case he needed
to draw his sword.

321
00:15:00,029 --> 00:15:00,310
Get it?

322
00:15:01,209 --> 00:15:01,569
Mom: Yes.

323
00:15:01,780 --> 00:15:02,295
I get it.

324
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,220
Like when a knight is getting
ready to fight or protect,

325
00:15:05,230 --> 00:15:07,300
he has to draw his sword.

326
00:15:08,490 --> 00:15:08,890
Got it.

327
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:09,819
So good.

328
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:11,380
Asher: Your turn.

329
00:15:12,590 --> 00:15:15,140
Mom: Why was the
caveman a good dancer?

330
00:15:16,219 --> 00:15:16,579
Asher: Why?

331
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,640
Mom: Because he
knew how to rock.

332
00:15:21,490 --> 00:15:22,810
Asher: Oh, I get it.

333
00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:25,560
Because like it's
like a kind of music.

334
00:15:26,190 --> 00:15:26,570
Mom: Yes.

335
00:15:26,730 --> 00:15:28,040
Rock is a type of music.

336
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,510
And you know, caveman
lived under rocks.

337
00:15:32,599 --> 00:15:33,879
Asher: Bye Culture Kids!

338
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,070
Mom: Thanks for
joining us today.

339
00:15:37,290 --> 00:15:39,420
Stay tuned next week as
we explore the world of

340
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:42,180
butterflies, and of course, we
have our Joke Fest coming up.

341
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:44,810
Please don't forget to tell
everyone you love about culture,

342
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:47,589
kids, and reach out to us at
any time on Instagram, Apple

343
00:15:47,599 --> 00:15:49,050

Thank you for all that you
do, and see you next week.

345
00:15:51,329 --> 00:15:54,419
Bye-bye.
