单集简介 ...

Today, it’s almost cliche to give someone a diamond ring to prove your love. But 100 years ago, that wasn’t the case. Back then, diamonds were seen as luxury items for the rich and famous. But thanks to some creative advertisers (and a whole lot of extra diamonds), these sparkly jewels became the symbol of love in much of the world. Join Joy and co-host Diya as they explore the enchanting history of diamonds. Click here to read a transcript of this episode. Want to support the show?

  • Brains on Universe.

  • Let's see.

  • I've got the French hens and there's the half dozen geese.

  • Oi, turtle doves.

  • Get off that pear tree.

  • That's for the partridge.

  • Speaking of which, where is the partridge?

  • Hey, Joy.

  • Whoa, it smells like a chicken coop in here.

  • Makes sense because French hens are chickens.

  • I also have some calling birds.

  • Oh, I think one just pooped on your shoulder.

  • Ew.

  • Why?

  • Probably because I didn't set up the birdie potty yet.

  • Also, they're birds.

  • No, why do you have all these birds?

  • Oh, they're my new way to express my love.

  • Using birds?

  • Well, birds are just the start.
