Hey and welcome to the Short Stuff.

I'm Josh, and there's Chuck.

Jerry sitting in Freed Dave, and so this is Short Stuff.

The How do you say this again edition?

Yeah, I'm going to say it's spelled, Y-A-K-H, you know, as most words are.

C-H-A-A-L.

I'm going to say Yac-H-A-A-L.

I'm going with the straight-ah-head Yacht-A-Chals.

All right.

Okay.

So you say it your way throughout.

I'll say it my way, and I'm sure I'll inevitably unconsciously start saying it your way.

We'll see.

But what we're talking about is the promise from our refrigeration episode a little bit more on these ancient, basically ancient refrigerators or cooling systems.

They were found across ancient Persia, at least as old as 400 BC.

This is modern day Iran.

And these are places where, believe it or not, the climate enables freezing of ice when you

would not think you should be able to freeze ice.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

And apparently still today in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, yeah, I said it right the first time.

They called their refrigerators yakchals, which is how I would say it if I were in Iran.

But that's the name for their fridge, which means that at some point someone in Iran has gone into a store and said, you got a smeg yak-chao?
