1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to the short stuff. I'm Josh, there's Chuck,

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: and we're sitting in for Jerry, who usually sits in

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: for Dave. So yeah, let's go.

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: Let's go.

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 3: This is well, it's a follow up to our Doomsday

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 3: Clock episode. But it turns out we didn't do a

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 3: Doomsday Clock episode. I know we talked about this, so

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 3: it might have been in one of when we were

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: doing videos years ago. I think it was probably in

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: one of those. But I know for a fact the

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: only reason I would have known about this is because

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: of this job and you.

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: That makes me feel good that I wasn't completely unaware

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: that we had done an episode on doomsteak clocks.

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it popped up in someplace. But what's the Doomstak clock?

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: Josh?

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 1: So, the doomsday clock is a metaphorical clock that is

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: operated or overseen by the Bulletin Atomic Scientists, which was

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: a group of scientists who had worked on the Manhattan Project.

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: They got together and they said, we need to create

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: a group that is going to basically keep an eye

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: on this nuclear proliferation that's starting up. And one of

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: the things they did in nineteen forty seven was create

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: the doomsday clock, and it essentially is this I guess

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: it's a graphic representation of how close humanity is to

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: self inflicted disaster like a nuclear.

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: War, perfectly said elegantly said I see, yeah, So, like

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: you said, been around since nineteen forty seven.

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: They set the time every year.

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: It's sort of a thing where they say, like, all right,

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: the time for this year is going to be this,

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: would they move it forward if something really went down

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: within a year?

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: I think they do it every year, so.

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: Like in January they said it, and if like four

36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: months later, like the s goes down, they wouldn't be

37
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: like they'd be like, nop, gota wait till next year.

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: Well, I think two things would happen. Either it would

39
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: be something that they would take into account the next year, yes,

40
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: or the world would end and they wouldn't have anything

41
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: to do anyway.

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: Okay, But again, we're talking about it this year because

43
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: there was and you know, we'll.

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: Talk about a little bit how it's fluctuated over the years.

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: But the reason we bring it up is because this year,

46
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: January eighth, twenty twenty five, is when they moved the

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: second hand on the clock forward to eighty nine seconds

48
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: to midnight, yeah, which means it's the closest that clock

49
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: has ever been to midnight since they started.

50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, since they started, or when they started in nineteen

51
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: forty seven, when the US and Russia were starting the

52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Cold War, creating nukes, testing nukes out in the open

53
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: underground in space, there was seven minutes to midnight. We're

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: now less than two minutes away from midnight because stuff

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: is just so close to hitting the fan. And we

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: should say that they've actually moved the clock backward. They've

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: moved the secondhand backwards further away from midnight in the past,

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: and the furthest away it was from midnight was nineteen

59
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: ninety one, after the Soviet Union Union dissolved. Uh huh,

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: it was all the way back from seventeen minutes to midnight,

61
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: which is work.

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: I think.

63
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: I think that's called teeky time.

64
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like bust out the rum, everybody, exactly.

65
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: We're all at seventeen minutes. Yeah.

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: The closest pre this time in twenty twenty five was

67
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: in nineteen fifty three. It was two minutes before midnight,

68
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 3: So we're eighty nine seconds till midnight, And the closest

69
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: previous was two minutes. So that's you know, it's pretty drastic.

70
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: And again, you know, I guess we can go ahead

71
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: and mention. One of the criticisms of this is that

72
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: it's it's something that just gins up some the critics

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: will say it's something that just gins up paranoia in

74
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: people and like pushes the panic button and.

75
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: What is it even doing? But what is doing? I

76
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: think it's a.

77
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: Valuable thing because it just raises awareness every year with people.

78
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: It's just another thing to kind of say, hey, like

79
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: we're not headed in the right direction as amenity goes.

80
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the first editor of the Bulletin of Atomic

81
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Scientists was Eugene Rabinowitch, and Eugene Rabinowich said that the

82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: purpose of the doomsday clock is to quote frighten men

83
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: into rationality and to basically say like, hey, you know,

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: this is where this stuff's out of control. People. You

85
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: need to be paying attention to these things, because they

86
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: don't just say we're eighty nine seconds from midnight. See

87
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: you next year. They explain what the what the reasoning

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: is for moving or even not moving or moving back

89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: the secondhand and this year being eighty nine seconds the

90
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: closest we've ever been. They had a whole crop of

91
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: issues that go well beyond the nuclear risk that was

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: originally the clock was originally designed to track. And I say,

93
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: we take a break and we come back and talk

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: about why we're so close to midnight right now according

95
00:04:51,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

96
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: All right, everyone, we're back.

97
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: We're eighty seconds to midnight, not ten minutes to midnight,

98
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: like Charles Bunson was and that great movie.

99
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: What was it called ten Minutes to Midnight?

100
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you didn't see that one. No, you should check

101
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: that out. It's got a couple of choice scenes. It's

102
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: about a creepy, uh, serial killer that's he's chasing.

103
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Oh Bronson's not the creepy serial killer. He's being chased

104
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: by a creepy dude.

105
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 3: Charles Bunsen is always the guy on the hunt for

106
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: the bad guy.

107
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen Death Wish three, where like the

108
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: group of pos has taken over the neighborhood.

109
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the Death Wish movies.

110
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 3: I mean, the first one was genuinely pretty good, but

111
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: they got really sort of over the top after a while.

112
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good though.

113
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: It's good. You got the Death Wish pal this is

114
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: my favorite impression to do.

115
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: But I can't wait till you get your Morgan Freeman down.

116
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't think so.

117
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: All right, So how do we get eighty nine seconds

118
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: to midnight? This comes direct from the bulletin website. Some

119
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: we can kind of summarize a few of these. I'm

120
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: just going to read outright because it's so like sort

121
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: of expertly put.

122
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: But the first thing is.

123
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: The ongoing war in Ukraine, and not just that, but

124
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: the nuclear risk therein involved in the third year of

125
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: that conflict that you know, hopefully it doesn't go that way.

126
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: Maybe things are wrapping up, but at the peak of

127
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: this thing, like any weird bad decision could have led

128
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: to something like that happening.

129
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Same with the Middle East right now that can

130
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: spiral out of control and suck in nuclear powers against

131
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: one another. That's a nuclear risk for sure. And then

132
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: we're back to increasing the size of our nuclear arsenal,

133
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: which is a reverse of what we were doing in

134
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties where we were getting rid of them.

135
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: That's not a good sign. And then one other thing too,

136
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: and this is definitely new countries that hadn't had nukes

137
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: before were basically like, well, we're never going to have

138
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: nukes because that's just not the way things are. It's

139
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: changed geopolitically, and now countries are starting to think about

140
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: developing their own nuclear programs, where if you have more

141
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: countries with more nukes, you have that much more risk.

142
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

143
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: Climate change is the next thing they have listed, and

144
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: you know, this one kind of speaks for itself.

145
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: We don't need to beat a dead horse.

146
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: But their take basically is that global greenhouse gas emissions

147
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: are still rising. No one is doing enough to combat this.

148
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: This is bringing on extreme weather and climate changed events

149
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: or climate change influence events, and it's affecting people all

150
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: over the world. And even if we're growing things like

151
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: solar and wind, it's just not fast enough and not

152
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: nearly an enough to make a dent and the damage

153
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: that's being done.

154
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Right. Also, there's the biological arena, as they put.

155
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: It the boy, This one is very scary.

156
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: That's the most mucisy arena.

157
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but obviously coming out of COVID and with avian

158
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: the avian flu now expanding you know, to farm animals,

159
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: to dairy products, human cases, all this stuff is very

160
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: scary and the point of this episode isn't to scare

161
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: the cred out of everybody, but it's hard to read

162
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: the stuff and not get the crud scared out of

163
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: you sometimes.

164
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, also, don't leave AI on the sidelines. In their

165
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: disruptive Technology part, they were like, like, yes, AI. They

166
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: didn't get into the existential threat that AI itself pose.

167
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: They more looked at it like, hey, some militaries are

168
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: starting to incorporate AI in their like battlefield decision making,

169
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: Like we're a step away from AIS deciding whether to

170
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: kill or not kill and then eventually giving AIS control

171
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: over our nuclear arsenals. That's not a direction we want

172
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: to be going. And then the whole thing, this is

173
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: the reason why all these things that have been around

174
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: for a while or have been developing for a while

175
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: have been accelerated to eighty nine seconds from midnight because

176
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: of the threat multiplier of misinformation and disinformation and conspiracy theories.

177
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the one I wanted to read

178
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: a part or two from this because it just kind

179
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: of speaks volumes of things. They really put it very succinctly.

180
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: Spread of misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories that degrade the

181
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: communication ecosystem increasingly blur the lines between truth and falsehood.

182
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: And then they talk about AI making it even you know,

183
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: we've talked about deep fake video and stuff like that,

184
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 3: like making all that stuff just so much easier, And

185
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: then this final line is really really good. The battered

186
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 3: information landscape is also producing leaders who discount science and

187
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: endeavor to suppress fe free speech, and human rights, compromising

188
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: the fact based public discussions that are required to combat

189
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: the enormous threats facing the world. So like, all of

190
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: the problems that we've been listing are bad enough, and

191
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: then when you've got disinformation and conspiracy theories and misinformation

192
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: thrown on top of that, and AI exacerbating all that,

193
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: that's when it's like they're moving that clock as close

194
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: to midnight as they've ever been.

195
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the reason why is because people would be

196
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: under that circumstance, they're being led away from paying attention

197
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: to the stuff the doomsday clock is warring against. And

198
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: that just makes it that much riskier too, because we

199
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: have to be paying attention to it, whether you like

200
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: it or not. For some reason, when I was researching

201
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: this today, I was like, this is striking me as

202
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: a little ridiculous, and like, I get the point of it,

203
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: and I think it is noble and worthy, but there's

204
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: also some like real, I don't know, real criticisms of it.

205
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: And I found one piece by a guy named Stephen

206
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: Johnson on Life Hacker and he interviewed Lawrence Krause, who's

207
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: a physicist and a member of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientist. Sorry,

208
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: the New Republic interviewed Kraus and he said, it's not scientific.

209
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: It's a number that's arrived at by a group of

210
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: people exploring each of the questions and having a huge

211
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: amount of discussion and ultimately convergence on a number. That

212
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: number is frankly arbitrary. And that's true. You have to

213
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: remember it's a metaphor. There's no way to measure it. Okay,

214
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: for eighty nine seconds from midnight right now? How much

215
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: longer is the world going to last? And the big

216
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: problem with it, I think is national geographic put it.

217
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: If everything's a crisis, nothing's a crisis. So before the

218
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: whole thing was created to say this one thing, nuclear proliferation,

219
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: this is what we're warning about. Now you've got climate change,

220
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: AI avian flu information. It's just like being piled on,

221
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: and I think it's really diluted the point and the

222
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: pointedness of the whole thing.

223
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah maybe, but that's also the world we're living in

224
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: right now.

225
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it makes it so easy to just be like, oh, well,

226
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: I give up, I'm going to guess, so pay attention

227
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: to I don't know, flowers versus zombies. Do people play?

228
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: Let Still, I know that was the thing. I think

229
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: it was at some point unless I had a fever dream.

230
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 3: Uh well, you didn't have a fever dream. One thing,

231
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: whether or not you agree with the doomsday clock or not.

232
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 3: One thing we can I can recommend because you're too

233
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 3: humble too. It's a little limited podcast series called The

234
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 3: End of the World with Josh Clark. That way you

235
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: can really learn something and take a deep dive into

236
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: real existential threats that face humanity.

237
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: Thanks Chuck, I appreciate that.

238
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 3: Holds up still great? I imagine I haven't gone back

239
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: and listen to it again.

240
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: I bet it still holds up though.

241
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, because one of the number one rules and

242
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: show businesses leave them wanting more, I say short stuff

243
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: is out.

244
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: Stuff you should know is a production of iHeartRadio. For
