Speaker 1: All right, it is Mojoe in the morning. Somebody needs
Speaker 1: to explain this one to me. The big story that
Speaker 1: is going on right now is meteorologists are saying that
Speaker 1: it is going to get so cold that we may
Speaker 1: see exploding trees. Some like weather guys. I have to
Speaker 1: see if I get see some audio from these weather
Speaker 1: guys explaining this thing. But I think they said it
Speaker 1: was maple trees, that the maple will expand so much.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4: I think it's.
Speaker 3: Crazy.
Speaker 4: I did not think this was a real story.
Speaker 1: That's how you know it's too cold outside, that it's
Speaker 1: so cold outside that the trees are exploding. Man oh man,
Speaker 1: hold on a second. I want to see if I
Speaker 1: can find this thing. Yeah, all right, here's the here's
Speaker 1: the story right here. Uh a tremenderate they Oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is actually how they started it. A tremendous freeze
Speaker 1: and they held it with a tree.
Speaker 3: Tree.
Speaker 1: Forecasters are warning of an expectant sub zero temperatures causing
Speaker 1: trees to explode from the brutal cold that is expected
Speaker 1: to wallop the country wallop wallop. Trees may split and
Speaker 1: burst in the Midwest and the northern plains. On Friday
Speaker 1: and Saturday. Because of the Arctic blast, they're expecting temperatures
Speaker 1: of roughly twenty degrees below zero. Exploding trees are possible
Speaker 1: when the sap inside of the trees expands to a
Speaker 1: point that it actually causes the bark to move on
Speaker 1: the tree and the tree to open up.
Speaker 4: Can I ask that dumb question? Because I feel like
Speaker 4: I remember from science class that things shrink in the
Speaker 4: cold and expand in the heat.
Speaker 3: Something. I think I remember that in gym class.
Speaker 4: No, but for real, I don't want to understand this.
Speaker 4: It's like the opposite of what I learned.
Speaker 3: I know it.
Speaker 1: You would think, though, right that that that the cold
Speaker 1: does that to you, But I think it's the the
Speaker 1: sap on it gets hard, right, it freezes, so you
Speaker 1: sap you freezing over there and getting hard. I I
Speaker 1: want to know if when we had the last big
Speaker 1: cold that we had. I want to know if anybody
Speaker 1: has ever had that happened to them where they had
Speaker 1: things that you know, like their pipes I know will burst.
Speaker 5: Frozen soda can in our freezer here at the station
Speaker 5: that bursts.
Speaker 3: Wow, is that a science experiment or.
Speaker 5: I don't know who put it in there, but it
Speaker 5: messed up our whole freezer so got colder and expanded.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to tell you that I used to
Speaker 1: like living in Arizona better than living here. And the
Speaker 1: reason why I was we used to do on really
Speaker 1: hot days the whole egg on the pavement thing work.
Speaker 3: It did.
Speaker 1: It actually would take a long period of time for
Speaker 1: it to happen, and it would have to be exposed
Speaker 1: all the way to the sun. But it was worth it.
Speaker 1: It was worth trying it. Hi, Stacy, what's up?
Speaker 5: Hi?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm calling about the tree thing because I heard
Speaker 2: that too and thought it was kind of interesting. But
Speaker 2: when I googled it that all the other men were
Speaker 2: saying that people just or they named it tree exploding
Speaker 2: because that sounded really more like clickbait. But the trees
Speaker 2: don't really explode, they just crack.
Speaker 3: Oh, well, you.
Speaker 2: Have another I did. I don't know what Lydia wanted
Speaker 2: me to talk about, because I did text earlier.
Speaker 1: I don't want Lydia, Lydia, I should not want you
Speaker 1: to talk about anything. You just ruined our entire conversation
Speaker 1: about Get the.
Speaker 4: Hell out of you.
Speaker 2: Like this one better. I was listening to the Joe
Speaker 2: show because his War of the Roads is I can.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You guys had a link or something, and Joe totally
Speaker 2: does Mojo's.
Speaker 3: No he does, that doesn't.
Speaker 1: Do We have to worry about the exploding in the
Speaker 1: northern areas if it gets colder than twenty degrees below zero?
Speaker 3: Where do we stand with all of this?
Speaker 6: Right now?
Speaker 1: Adam, if you could kind of be a weather expert
Speaker 1: for us as we watch ahead for a cold ass weekend.
Speaker 3: This is Pat McAfee's show. Exploding trees are weird. It's
Speaker 3: I haven't gotten to experience something. It's when you get
Speaker 3: those huge temperature swings. It goes from warm and then
Speaker 3: temperatures drop rapids.
Speaker 1: Is a meteorologist speaking to.
Speaker 3: Not be a complete nerd because no one wants that. No,
Speaker 3: we do.
Speaker 1: That's why we called you. Yeah, we just that's Pat,
Speaker 1: all right? Get me a meteorologist time and I won't swear, Yes,
Speaker 1: don't that. Why do we get so worried about the
Speaker 1: swear words. I know that we can get in trouble.
Speaker 1: I don't when we hear a swear word, we all.
Speaker 4: Jump because I don't want to get fined and I
Speaker 4: don't want to be in a meeting.
Speaker 1: We all want to get written up radio. We all
Speaker 1: jump like we saw a tree explode. What's up, Dwight?
Speaker 1: How you doing?
Speaker 3: Good morning warning star?
Speaker 7: Are you doing?
Speaker 1: You sound like a very intelligent guy explain to us
Speaker 1: about trees exploding?
Speaker 7: Well, uh like like and I brought up like I
Speaker 7: can exploding in the in the freezer. Liquid actually is
Speaker 7: the thing that expands when it's cold, so like, it's
Speaker 7: why roads get cracked.
Speaker 3: The I'm not following this.
Speaker 7: So like so yeah, so liquid liquid under well kind
Speaker 7: of under pressure.
Speaker 3: It spans. What do you do for a living? I
Speaker 3: never have asked you this question.
Speaker 5: He's a scientist.
Speaker 7: I am not a scientist at all.
Speaker 3: I was a nerd in school.
Speaker 5: What do you?
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 7: Company?
Speaker 3: So you sel vending machines?
Speaker 7: I don't sell them. I got ron in a good
Speaker 7: chuck and go to different companies.
Speaker 1: And will you be off on uh tomorrow and Saturday,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to like, will people's vending machines
Speaker 1: wait until it warms up a little bit.
Speaker 7: I'm only off as they are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to hope that everybody's closed.
Speaker 1: I think that. I think it's one of those things.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that businesses are going to be open
Speaker 1: on Saturday. It's to me it makes no sense either.
Speaker 1: Very should be home. What's going on, Amanda?
Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 6: So, like fifteen years ago, I was in a wedding
Speaker 6: and about six months before the groom did his family
Speaker 6: where they were farmers and loggers and it was in
Speaker 6: the wintertime and they were logging and a tree exploded
Speaker 6: in his face and he had to have facial reconstruction surgery.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's more than a crack y'all. Yeah,
Speaker 3: see that lady, That.
Speaker 4: Is so scary for real.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and she has.
Speaker 6: Something to do with like cutting it and the pressure
Speaker 6: and all of that. But like it crushed the top
Speaker 6: of his mouth, like his everything. Oh my god, he's
Speaker 6: fine now, you know, but yeah, six months before his wedding.
Speaker 3: Wow, that is insane. Wow, thank you for the call.
Speaker 3: See that. What's up, Stephan? What's going on? Steph? Chelsea?
Speaker 6: Everybody?
Speaker 7: Time?
Speaker 6: Long time? All that? What's going on?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 3: So look I heard someone say like in grade school,
Speaker 3: maybe that liquid contracts like in the heat.
Speaker 7: It's actually the opposite, So liquid will expand in the cold.
Speaker 3: Is wide water bottle when you put it in your
Speaker 3: freeze or a glass liquid and make sure the gases.
Speaker 4: Gases, that's right, like balloons. Yes, okay, I do, thank you,
Speaker 4: so Steph.
Speaker 3: Are we hoping that the trees explode?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 3: Do we want that to happen just so we can
Speaker 3: say we live to see that? Yeah? I would love
Speaker 3: to see that. I set up like a crime left
Speaker 3: in front of.
Speaker 7: My maple tree outside my house, and hopefully will.
Speaker 1: You do it with a webcam so that I can
Speaker 1: watch it like I would.
Speaker 3: I would watch that stream. I would love that boring stream.
Speaker 1: Ever, can I be honest, I've watched worse than that.
Speaker 1: I've watched, seriously, the birth, the birth of pretty much
Speaker 1: every animal on live streams.
Speaker 4: You know what, my ring cam, the maple tree in
Speaker 4: my yard is right in front of my ring camp.
Speaker 3: Motion detective off to the left. I would have to
Speaker 3: think that if it exploded, my ring cam would catch
Speaker 3: the movement on camera.
Speaker 1: Let's look on DraftKings and see if they'll post what
Speaker 1: time and date and everything that Shannon's maple tree will explode. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the up taking our money? Yeah, what's the right exactly?
Speaker 1: We'll lose no matter what.
Speaker 5: But
