1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Welcome to you Stuff you should know from house Stuff 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: Works dot com. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm 3 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: Josh Clark. With me is always a Charles W. Chuck Bryant. Right, 4 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: I am here, sir, Jerry, are you here? Yes, she's here. Uh. 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: This is then stuff you should know, not not the myth, 6 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: the legend, that's right, the legendary. We should do a 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: show where we plus myths. We're about to do that 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: right now now, like a TV show where we go 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: out and kick myths when we bust them. And that's 10 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: a great idea, you know, yeah, like we could blow 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: certain things up we had to. We could have like 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: a little assemblage of people who kind of help us 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: out sometime and maybe spin off and get their own shows. 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: That's not a bad idea. I I'm gonna wear a beret. Yeah, 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I've been thinking for years about 16 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: whether or not to just go ahead and wear a 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: beret out in public. I do at home very frequently. 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: I would you should only wear a bret if you 19 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: grow a Walrus mustache. That would be a good look. 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll go back to classes too, might as well. Huh, 21 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: what will you do? I don't know. I think we're 22 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: onto something, though, I'll just say my same affable self 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: and with a slightly more stylized haircut. Ye. All right, 24 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: I think we're on is something. Let's pitch it to 25 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: the bosses. Yeah, which company? Uh? Yeah, I don't know. Discovery. Yeah, 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Okay, the myth dudes. Yeah, yeah, 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: that's a great one. All right, So Chuck, I'm gonna 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: make a million dollars. You are, uh, you're feeling pretty good? 29 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: I am. I'm glad. How are you? I'm good to 30 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: your Mickey Mouse t shirt is cheering me out? That's good? 31 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: That something is I'm cheerful. Okay, good. Um. I don't 32 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: really have much of an intro for this, aside from 33 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this or not, but 34 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: I have a little video series that I do. It's 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: called Don't Be Dumb. This is virtually a podcast version 36 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: of that show that It struck me like that as well, 37 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 1: but even better than that, it is one that we're 38 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: doing together. Yeah. And I think there was a couple 39 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: of these you've actually covered too, right, Yeah, Like, um, 40 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: is your blood blue in your veins? Boiler? Yeah, we 41 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: don't want to actually, you know what, you should go 42 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: ahead and cover that one, okay, because I think you're 43 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: the expert. I've always heard I'm pretty far from an 44 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: expert man in elementary school, that your veins, your blood 45 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: is actually blue because see it right under my arm 46 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: there in my forearm. You can see it. It's blue 47 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: until it reaches like if you get cut, and when 48 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: it gets oxygen, boom turns red. Yeah, and it's it's 49 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: supposedly your veins that are blue because they're the ones 50 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: that contain deoxygen eated blood. Right, that's what I always 51 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: already used up from your organs and tissues and it's 52 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: on route back to your lungs to become oxygen need 53 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: it again, Right, that's not true. There's no part of again, Chuck, 54 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm not in next saying David Rerenzo in the fourth 55 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: grade lie to me. Yeah, he's a dirty liar. David Renzo. 56 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: Um that your blood at no point is ever blue. 57 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: The the more oxygen it has in it, the deeper 58 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: the red. Right, But there's no blue blood in you. 59 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: The whole thing is that in an optical trick. Right. 60 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: So your skin um is translucent see through, and it 61 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: really doesn't have a color. It's your fat that gives 62 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: your skin its color, and fat tends to have a 63 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: kind of a crazy effect on light, like it scatters 64 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: it in all sorts of different directions, right, and Um, 65 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: depending on how deep a blood vessel is, that will 66 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: have an effect on what color that blood vessel looks like, 67 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: because some colors of light, some wavelengths are reflected better 68 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: than others. Right, So if you have a blue blood vessel, 69 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: it's usually very close to the surface, and that means 70 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: that all of the red light has been absorbed and 71 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: what's being reflected back and kind of scattered about is 72 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: the blue. That's all there is to it. There's no 73 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: blue blood in your veins. It's just the collusion. And 74 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: your family comes from wealth. Well that's more of a 75 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: figurative thing. Okay, Yeah, I think it would be pretty 76 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: creepy now that they think about it, if everyone had 77 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: like red streaks of veins running through their body. Yeah. 78 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: I think we're just so used to seeing blue if 79 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: we saw red all of a sudden, it would be creepy. Well, 80 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: you can't see, I mean some veins are red, you know. 81 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: Depending on the depth as well, Um, you can see 82 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: some red veins every once in a while, or red 83 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: blood vessels, but for the most part, the ones that 84 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: really stand out are blue. You don't think they're creepy 85 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: in and of themselves. Yeah, yeah, I think it's a 86 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: little creepy. It is a little creepy, but anyway, the 87 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: point is you don't have any blue blood. It's all 88 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: just what color is absorbed in, what color is reflected 89 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: by the amount of fat in the depth of the 90 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: blood vessel. Okay, I hope some kids are listening to 91 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, and if they're not, hey, you can 92 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: go watch Don't Be Dumb on our website. Yeah, and 93 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: I think most of these I did. It's like it 94 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: all goes to elementary school. Then you hear from various 95 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: kids or sometimes teachers. Yeah, get it wrong, you know? 96 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: All right, I got one for you. Um, I'm gonna 97 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: go with the body. You lose most of your heat 98 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: through your head. Have you ever heard that? Oh? Yeah? 99 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: This one goes back to, uh apparently two things. Some 100 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: experiments the Army did in the nineteen fifties where they 101 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: dressed up volunteers to give them a little whirl at 102 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: Arctic survival, and there was a special field trip there was, 103 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: and they put them in the big survival suits, you know, 104 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: super warm, put them out in the in the cold. 105 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: But they left their heads uncovered, and so most of 106 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: the heat was lost to the heads that ended up 107 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: in an Army training manual survival manual from which said 108 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: of body heat comes from the head that you lose 109 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: that's true, Then it is not true. The reason they 110 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: lost all that body heat through the head is because 111 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: that was the only part that didn't have anything on it. 112 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. You don't lose I guess 113 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: actually your head, your your face, and your chest are 114 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: a little more sensitive. It's a temperature change. But um, 115 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that you lose more heat there than 116 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: you lose the same amount of heat. Um. No, more 117 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: than your body heat is going to go through your 118 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: head because it's proportional surface area. Your head makes it 119 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: about ten percent of the surface area of your body. 120 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: Therefore you lose about ten percent of your body heat 121 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: through that. You like, do the same experiment with a 122 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: ski mask on and naked from the waist down and 123 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: see if you don't get arrested. Yeah, well, a few 124 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: things might have happen in that situation to stay there 125 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: and waved all. It's an experiment. You're doing great. They're 126 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: not gonna say you lose most of your body heat 127 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: through your genitals. In that case, I think had the 128 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: Army been a little more swinging back in the fifties, 129 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: you never know, they may have come up with that 130 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: experiment and that would be the myth. So we're not 131 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: saying don't wear a two out in the cold. You should, 132 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: just as you should wear your parka. Yeah, just bundle up, 133 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: bundle up. Buttercup, you got one. I do have one. Okay, 134 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: I like this one. I know you don't, but I 135 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: didn't know this. Um, Mount Everest is the tallest mountain 136 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: in the world. You didn't know that. That wasn't true. 137 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: I think that's the one I heard early on as 138 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: just that, like little kids love saying things like that, 139 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: they also love saying and that's actually not the case. 140 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: I've never encountered that little kid. Yeah, I need that kid. 141 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: It was also David Arinzo Man, that kid, he's on 142 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: the ball. He was terrible. Um, so the the A 143 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: lot of people are saying, well, what is it then, 144 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: what's the tallest mountain? Hold your horses it is true 145 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: the mountain Everest is the highest mountain. It's just not 146 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: the tallest mountain, right because of the way geologists, uh 147 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: and geographers measure mountains. So from sea level, yeah, that's highest. 148 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 1: Highest is the amount of the mountain that is above 149 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: sea level, and Everest has that one licked. It's the 150 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: highest mountain at twenty nine thousand, twenty nine ft above 151 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: sea level. Right. Yes, But to measure which mountain is tallest, 152 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: that goes from the base of the mountain to the summit, 153 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: and in this case that's uh, mounta KaiA in Hawaii. 154 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: This thing is huge. That makes it the tallest mountain, 155 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: even though most of it is underwater. If you took 156 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: away all the water and the idea of sea level 157 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: at all, and just measured this mountain from the base 158 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: to the top, you have a thirty three thousand, four 159 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five ft tall mountain, which is it's 160 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: about four thousand feet higher than Everest. That's substantial, right, 161 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: But above sea level as far as highness goes, it's 162 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: only seven ft high. Yeah. But I kind of feel 163 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,719 Speaker 1: bad for mounti Cab because it never gets to the 164 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: dew it deserves because of all that stupid water. And 165 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: there's another way to mosure the mountain to um by 166 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,599 Speaker 1: the distance from the center of the Earth. You know, 167 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: the Earth is not a perfect sphere, and it's widest 168 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: ad its circumference, i e. The equator UM. And there 169 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: is a mountain and equador Ecuador called the Chimbararro and 170 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: it is um a great many meters which I forgot 171 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: to write down from the center of the Earth. Wow. 172 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: So if you if you think about just the if 173 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: you cut the earth, yeah, cut of mountain in half, 174 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: and we're able to core the Earth at the same time, 175 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: you would see like, oh, this mountain is further than 176 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: this one. That makes sense. It makes sense in a 177 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: in a geo geographer's way. Yeah, I think um also 178 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: to the although there's really not a gage for this, 179 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: but just how striking a mountain might appear. You probably 180 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: should go with kill human Jaro because it rises from 181 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: the flat plains of Tanzania and that's like the only 182 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: thing out there. If you've ever seen pictures or been there, 183 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing. And it's not like Everest doesn't stand out. 184 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: But when you're in the Himalayas, you're a little bit 185 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: taller than your brother's next door. But kill Himanjaro is 186 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: at nineteen thousand when everything else is flat. That's pretty remarkable, 187 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: just rising right up from the plane. All right, So 188 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: go mountains. Just just watch what you say. Everybody is 189 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: the point of that and tallest highest. Choose your words carefully, 190 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: all right. This is a good one. And this is 191 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: one that I think most everyone believes that the Great 192 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: Wall of China is the only man made object visible 193 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: from space. I did this one. Don't be done too, 194 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: did this is? I love this one? Yeah, this one 195 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: is wrong on every level because not only can you 196 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: see other things, you can't really see the Great Wall 197 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: of China. It's doublet wrong, right, So um, you can, 198 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: like you said, see other things that There's also a 199 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: big problem with this is the idea that you can 200 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: see the Great Wall of China from space. Well, we're 201 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: in space exactly. That's pretty broad. There's all sort of 202 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: like lower Earth orbit is a hundred and thirty five 203 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: miles above sea level um and apparently from lower Earth 204 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: orbit you can see all sorts of things with the 205 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: naked eye, and if you have binoculars you can really 206 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: see stuff like trucks, and things like that. But you 207 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: can see airports, dams, um, you can see roadways. Cities 208 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: are obviously very clear, especially at night, so there's all 209 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: sorts of stuff you can see. Um. One of the 210 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: things you have a tremendous amount of trouble seeing and 211 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: that you can't see with the naked eye from space 212 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: is the Great Wall of China, the one thing that 213 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: they say is the only thing you can see. Yeah, 214 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: how about that for irony and and why, Chuck? Well, 215 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: one reason is because it's um, it's made up of 216 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: rocks local to the area, and so it kind of 217 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: looks like everything else in the area. It blends in 218 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: just has had. Yeah, and it's big and it's long, 219 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: so you would think, I mean, I see where the 220 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: rumor got started, because it's one of the great wonders 221 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: of the world, and it is huge in scope. It's long, 222 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,599 Speaker 1: but it's narrow. It's like thirteen thousand miles long, but 223 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: it's like thirty feet across, So it's long, but it's 224 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: not necessarily big. You know where this one got its 225 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: origin in? And uh, no one knew at that point. No, 226 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: it was Robert Ripley and Ripley's believe it or not. 227 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: Wrote in a column that you can see the Great 228 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: Wall of China from the moon. That's what it was, 229 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: and everybody just thought it was true because everybody so yeah, 230 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: everyone's so gullible back then. Uh. And it wasn't until 231 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: um NASA's astronauts made it to the Moon that they 232 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: were able to confirm that, no, you can't see the 233 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: Great Wall of China. But the Chinese didn't believe it 234 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: until they sent their own people into space in two 235 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: thousand three. They were pretty bummed too. Uh, you can't 236 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: see anything man made from the moon. That's way up there, 237 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: they say. Um Alan Bean and Apollo twelve astronauts said, 238 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: the only thing you can see from the moon is 239 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: a beautiful sphere, mostly white, some blue, patches of yellow, 240 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: and every once in a while some green vegetation, but 241 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: nothing man made at all. So um, but that's where 242 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: the or the original version of it was, you could 243 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: see the Great Wall of China from the moon. Then 244 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: we went to the moon and it was downgraded to 245 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: you can see it from space. Yeah, and then you 246 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: know they now they're trying to prove, like I think, 247 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: the Chinese took photos from lower Earth orbit and they 248 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: were like, you see there, you can make out that's 249 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: the Great Wall of China. But um, you know it 250 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: took like hunting and pecking and poking around and like 251 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: a hundred millimeter lens. I think, so it doesn't count. 252 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: Doesn't count if you can't see it with the naked 253 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: eye from lower Earth orbit, you can't see it from space. 254 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: Dang straight eight. Okay, I got one for you that 255 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: supposedly you've never heard, and we're gonna get to it 256 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: right after this message break. Okay, so let's talk about 257 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: this one. Have you ever heard uh, like on a 258 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: trip to like an abbey or monastery, this is where 259 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: it usually comes up as a kid like stained glasses 260 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: maybe thicker at the bottom, or leaded glass and windows. 261 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: That glass is a very slow moving liquid. No, I 262 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: hadn't heard that, and I can tell you had I 263 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: been on that field trip, I would have yelled at 264 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: the docent for lying. Really yeah, even at that age, 265 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: yeah see, I would have gone wow, Yeah, even at 266 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: that age, it would have been like, that is preposterous. Well, you, sir, 267 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: are much smarter than I was at that age. It 268 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: is not a slow moving liquid at all. It is 269 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: an a morphous solid. I've never heard that before. Yeah, 270 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: it's it's not the same. It's not a liquid, it's 271 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: not a real solid. But I've never heard somebody call 272 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: it a slow moving liquid and explain like wavy glass 273 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, well that it comes from how it's 274 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: actually was made. Back then, up until the mid eight hundreds, Uh, 275 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: there was a process called the Crown method where you 276 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: blow the glass, flatten it out, heat it, spin it 277 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: um mechan on the bottom. Oh no. Uh. And you've 278 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: got a sheet of glass and it's pretty cheap, but 279 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: it's rippled and some parts are thicker than others. And 280 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: when you look at nature. I have the windows of 281 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: my house do that some of them? Yeah? You me 282 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: and I lived in a craftsman that was like that. Yeah, 283 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: and they were the wind blew right through. Yep. It's 284 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: pretty weird. Uh. So the difference in liquid and solid 285 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: is all about molecular structure. Uh. Solid has arranged molecules 286 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: and a crystalline structure. When you heat that up, the 287 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: molecules are going to vibrate and then it will eventually 288 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: reach a melting point when those little structures break down. Uh. 289 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: Liquid but comes to solid when it gets cooled, and 290 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: if you super cool a liquid, it will remain that way. 291 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: Um beyond like the freezing point. So glass is an 292 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: a morphous solid. It's not quite as organized as the crystal, 293 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: but it does not freeze, so it's more organized than 294 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: a liquid. So like in any form, in any version 295 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: of its solid form, glass is an amorphous solid, not 296 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: just when it's wavy. I think it's just an amorphous solid. U. 297 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,479 Speaker 1: We need to do one on glass. It's pretty remarkable. 298 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: We could tag team it with our mirrors. My my 299 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: hometown was the It's like the capital of the glass 300 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: capital of the world, the Glass City, the Glass City. 301 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: Uh gotta be proud of something that and Tony Pecko's 302 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: So we got a few more, but I think we 303 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: should take a little message break and then we will 304 00:16:53,560 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: wrap it up. Okay, what else you got, I've got one? 305 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: Um So, Uh have you ever heard that if you 306 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: see a little baby bird on the ground, you you 307 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: pick it up. That's it for that bird, Like you've 308 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: just signed its death warrant because your stink is on 309 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: the bird, and when the mother comes back, it'll smell 310 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: the fact that humans touched this bird. And now it's 311 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: spoiled somehow, and the bird will be rejected by its 312 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: mother and starved to death. So you pretty much have 313 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: to take the bird indoors and raise it as your 314 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: own child. I've heard that. Actually, yeah, did you ever 315 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: do that? Um? Well, I've told the story about when 316 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: I accidentally killed the bird as a lifeguard, when I 317 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: drowned it. I think I've told it. I found a 318 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: bird in the pool and rescued it out, and the 319 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: bird was still alive, but um seemingly dehydrated. So I 320 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: got a straw and would you know, get a little 321 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: liquid and the straw and the bird would peck at 322 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: it and drink. And I was like, man, this bird 323 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: is thirsty because it's just drinking, drinking, drinking. It drank 324 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: so much water it died, man, And it kept going 325 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: back for more. And I thought I was doing the 326 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: right thing. And the bird is quit moving. And here's 327 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: the funny part of the story. All these kids, I'm 328 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: surrounded by like twelve year olds at this pool and 329 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: I pick up the bird and I noticed it's like 330 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: kind of fat and bloated. Now. And when I picked 331 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: it up and with any I didn't even squeeze it 332 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: water shot out of its mouth like a squirt gun. 333 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: The kids that screened in horror because over the course 334 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: of six hours, I drowned this bird that I took 335 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: out of the pool man drownded on land on dry land. Yeah, 336 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: it's one of my great all time awful stories. I 337 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: never did that. Yeah, Um, I've raised squirrels before, little squirrelings. 338 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: But Umi has a pretty good story of like picking 339 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: up a little bird that she found on the grass 340 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: that you know, obviously was going to die if she 341 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: didn't care for it. And she was a pretty little kid, um, 342 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: and she got ahold of the phone number of a 343 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: local VET and started calling them and asking them what 344 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: to do, and then she go do what they said, 345 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: and then she'd call them back again and go do 346 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: what they said again. And apparently her mom figured out 347 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: what was going on. I was like, stop calling this vet. 348 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: So she found the number to another VET started calling them, 349 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: and then she called like one and then called the other, 350 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: and she kept pesturing these people and they're trying to help, apparently, 351 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: but they're also like, this bird's a goner. So they said, 352 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: you need to keep the bird warm. So this is 353 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: at a time when microwaves were pretty, and so she 354 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: she didn't kill the bird in the microwave, but like, 355 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: this bird spent a few seconds in the microwave eating 356 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: and she got it out and um, it was warm, 357 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: and she wrapped it up and and took care of 358 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: it and was really like stressing, like I really wanted 359 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: this bird to live and was doing everything she could 360 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: and it just didn't work out. Man, you mean I 361 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: can't wait to see you again. We actually share the 362 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: very horror horrific stories. The point of this is that 363 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: neither one of you should have touched this bird in 364 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: the first place, because it was probably in the middle 365 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: of a flying lesson. Yeah, it has nothing to do 366 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: with your human stank and the mother's rejection. Um yeah, 367 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: that's another is probably trying to fly and the mom 368 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: was probably nearby allowing that to happen. Yes, So you 369 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: come along, you see a bird, You assume it fell 370 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: out of a nest, right, and you pick it up. 371 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: And two things just happened. One, you interrupted a flying 372 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: lesson and kidnapped a baby bird. And to um the 373 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: idea that you couldn't just put that bird back down 374 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: after you picked it up because your smell is on. 375 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: It is totally false too, because birds don't have a 376 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: very good sense of smell. Yeah. In general, your average 377 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: yardbird isn't going to know that you had your stink 378 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: on it or care. No, we're not dirty to them, No, 379 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: and even if we were, they couldn't really smell us anyway. 380 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: So the whole concept of um, the that a mother 381 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: bird will reject her little birdling what are they called 382 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: when they're a little like, you know, uh, baby birds, 383 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: baby birds. Yeah. The the idea that a mother will 384 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: reject a baby bird I think was probably developed to 385 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: keep little kids from touching them, probably so in interrupting 386 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: a flying lesson or whatever. Yeah, so maybe we should 387 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: not encourage or discourage people from saying this. Yeah. But 388 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: at the same time we kind of backfire because it's like, oh, well, 389 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: I touched it. Now I have to kill it in 390 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,239 Speaker 1: the microwave. I have to to try to take care 391 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: of it to death. Yeah. And we were both had 392 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: our hearts in the right place too, except that was 393 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: like eight y Yeah, um, all right, I've got one. 394 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: Uh And this one I actually did not know until 395 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: I studied this. Chameleons I've always thought changed their color 396 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: to blend into their surroundings as a form of camouflage. 397 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: That is not so they do change color, but it 398 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with that. Um. It is physical 399 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: or emotional changes. Um. They're like they want to fight, 400 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: they may want to make love. Uh, it depends. But 401 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with I'm gonna be green 402 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: because I'm in the grass, or I'm gonna be brown 403 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: because when your deck. No, because they're already pretty camouflaged 404 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: as it is. UM. When they when they change color, 405 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: they kind of go the opposite of being camouflaged and 406 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: suddenly they're bright orange. Um. And they do that by 407 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: using chromatophores, which are pigment containing cells that can move 408 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: and bend and change to expose one pigment or another. 409 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: And they have layers of these chromatophores that work together 410 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: in the same way that paint kind of mixes. So 411 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: you have a layer that's yellow and a layer that's red, 412 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: and like these cells will overlap and all of a sudden, 413 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: the chameleons orange. Yeah, it'll just send a signal basically 414 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: and open up the paint can sort of like we 415 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: described in the octopus the Coolest animal Ever. It's the 416 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: same deal chromatophorce, and but they're not. They don't do 417 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: it to camouflage themselves. They do it to fight, Yeah, 418 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: whereas the octopus does do it to camouflage. Um. Yeah, 419 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: so how about that? Still a cool animal, very neat 420 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: to be able to change color. But that commercial that 421 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: you see with the chameleon changing color to blend in 422 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: with the backgrounds is a lie. I can't remember that. 423 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: It's a pink commercial, is it? Yeah, of course it is. 424 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: I think you have one more, don't you? Or do 425 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: you have two more? I have one more? Let's hear it, Chuck, 426 00:23:53,960 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: you've got one too? Three four? Five senses sight, smell, uh, touch, 427 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: hearing and what am I forgetting? Taste? Taste? And then 428 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: the sixth sense, which is the one that lets you 429 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: know when somebody's looking at you, even when you're not 430 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: facing them. Yeah, like eyes in the back of your head. 431 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: What is that Someone's why? I don't know, man, there 432 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: that will be understood within our lifetime. But there are 433 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: actually way more senses than that, depending on who you ask, 434 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: maybe as many as yeah I saw, I saw fourteen 435 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: to one two. Um. And those five that we mentioned 436 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: are now these days referred to as the classical senses, 437 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: but you can take basically human senses and lump them 438 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: into two categories. You have intero exception, which is our 439 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: sense or awareness of how we're feeling on the inside, 440 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: and our ex tero exception, which is how we sense 441 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: the world around. It's like temperature or something like that 442 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 1: would be our our sensitivity to temperature would be an 443 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: exteroception and sense, whereas our awareness that we have to 444 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: pee or our sense of balance would be in ter reception. 445 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: All right, that makes sense, doesn't it. Yeah. Um, some 446 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: of the other senses that we have, uh, in the skin, 447 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: we have five different types of nerve endings just in 448 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: our skin, So you can sense heat, cold, pain, itch, 449 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: and pressure, and you can even sense heat without touching it. 450 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: So that's its own sense. Oh yeah, yeah, like that. 451 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: It's a different receptor when you touch a hot stove 452 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: is when you put your hand near a fire, and 453 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: so those are two separate things. I just assume that 454 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: there were more of them involved to a lower degree. 455 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: But it's a different thing. It's a different thing, that's 456 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: really yeah. And that's a more recent finding too. I think, um. Supposedly, 457 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: our ability to sense that we need to vomit is 458 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: one its own thing as well. Um, hunger or sense 459 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: of hunger. Sure. Um. Basically there's a whole world of 460 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: sense experiences that we have that we've just totally overlooked 461 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: as senses. Yeah, you know, like I feel hungry, just 462 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm just hungry. It's actually an actual sense. Pretty neat, 463 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: I think it is, uh, and I bet you they're 464 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: gonna further. It's not like they discover more, but as 465 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: they dig in, I think they find that they can 466 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,719 Speaker 1: break it down more specifically is what it is? Right, 467 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, they just discovered you could feel 468 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: fire when you're near it. They said, oh, we discovered 469 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: it's an actual separate thing and touching fire. Yeah yeah, 470 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: you got anything else? Oh, I got plenty else chuckers. 471 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: And if people want to hear them and see me 472 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: act like a strange weirdo, really pretty it's one of 473 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: the best things.

It's 495 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: called that because it's so ridiculously not funny and unexpected 496 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: that the funny part comes from people's reaction. The rest 497 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: of us call it irritante. So well, I'm gonna tell 498 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: the joke. Get ready to be irritated. Guy walks into 499 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: a bar and pauses, and at the end of the 500 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: bar there's this dude with a big orange head. The 501 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: guys just kind of sitting there, and the guy asked 502 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: the bartender, Hey, what's up with the guy with the 503 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: big orange hed over there? It's kind of weird. He says, Oh, dude, 504 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: you gotta hear the story. Go down there, buy him 505 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: a drink. He'll tell it to you. I guarantee it. 506 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: So the guy walks over and the dude with a 507 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: big orange het says, so, I don't know what you're doing. 508 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: You probably want to know the story behind my head here. 509 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: And the guy says, well, yeah, if you know mine, 510 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: I'll buy you a drink. And he was like, all right, cool, 511 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: So gone over to million times. It's basically, here's a story. 512 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: I was walking on the beach one day. I stubbed 513 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: my toe on something. I look down and there was 514 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: an antique brass lamp. I picked it up and dusted 515 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: it off a little bit, and uh, this enormous genie 516 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: pops out. It's a magic lantern. The genie says, you 517 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: release me from my ten thousand year imprisonment. I'm forever 518 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: in your debt, and I'm gonna grant you three wishes 519 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: as a token of my gratitude. And the man at 520 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: the bar was like, wow, what happened? Man? This is incredible, 521 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: and how did you get the orange head? He's like, well, 522 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: just listen. I said, all right, I got three wishes. 523 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: I guess my first wish is gonna. I want to 524 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: be really rich, fantastically wealthy. And the genie says, all right, 525 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: your wish is granted. All of a sudden, I have 526 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: rings on my fingers and a crown on my head, 527 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: my wallets full of cash. We call these a t 528 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: M cards and credit cards. I've got a AMEX black 529 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: and indeed to a mansion, and I'm totally loaded. That's so, 530 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: I said, man, this is amazing. Um. I guess for 531 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: my next wish, I want to be married to. Let's 532 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: just go ahead and say, the most beautiful woman in 533 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: the world. I want to be married to Kate Upton. Boom. 534 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: Kate Upton is on the beach. The genie says, your 535 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: wishes granted. The ocean's part and there she is, in 536 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: her bikini, walking towards the guy with the wedding ring 537 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: on and they're married. Is that the person that the 538 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: guy who wrote this joke did? He pit Kate up. 539 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: She's not the most beautiful woe in the world, but 540 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: she's on my mind. And uh so there's Kate Up. 541 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: Then they're married. It was incredible and rich and he's rich. 542 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: And the guy said, all right, you got one more wish. 543 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,239 Speaker 1: What's your wish going to be? So in the bar, 544 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: the man with the big orange head stopped and took 545 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: some beer. He is, all right, now, I think this 546 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: is where maybe I went wrong. I wish to have 547 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: the big orange head. And that is the anti joke. 548 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: It's not bad, well you laugh through it, except the punchline. Well, 549 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: I think though, um, the telling of the joke, because 550 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: usually what right I have to say? Like, you are 551 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: one of the better joke tellers I've ever met my 552 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: entire life. No, really, you really are. That's from Patrick 553 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: and Derek. The anti joke, I think, I think the 554 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: I think the punchline or the anti punchline. It's not 555 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: that it wasn't funny, it just needed like a little 556 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: drumming up, like he needed to continue the stories slightly 557 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: more like Okay, So for my third wish, I said, 558 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: I want to have a giant orange head, okay, rather 559 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: than I think this is where I went wrong. I 560 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: wished for an orange head. It fell out of the 561 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: arc of the story, the flow. Yeah, if they had 562 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: said it in the same way, I think it would 563 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: have been fun. All right. Well I improved a lot 564 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: of that, but I actually did read that last bit 565 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: as he wrote it. So I'm not going to take 566 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: credit for ruining the who was that the road in 567 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: Patrick road end? But it's Patrick and Derek or the jokesters. 568 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: So thanks, thanks Patrick, Thanks Derek. Um, seriously, that wasn't 569 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: irritating at all. That was a fun thrill ride. Uh. 570 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: If you can think of an anti joke that's actually 571 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: worth writing in, we want to hear it.
