00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to Stuff You Should Know

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: from House Stuff Works dot Com? Hey, and welcome to

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. With me is Charles W.

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: Chuck Bryant were a couple of writers for how Stuff

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: Works dot Com. When we sit down in front of

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: these mics, though, to become stuff you should know, we

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: tear open our shirts and there's a big s y

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: s k on our chest tattooed. That's exactly right, Chuck, Chuck. Yes,

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: you ever jumped off a cliff? I have indeed, Yeah, yeah,

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: the Rock Quarry and Sparta. Do you ever go there? No,

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: I've jumped off of that one that was that was

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: pretty high. There's a rock Cory and Toledo that I

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: never went to. Actually it was in uh White House, Whitehall,

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: Bowling Green somewhere around there. I never went. My dad

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: was certified as a scoopa diver there though. Yeah. They

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: put something in a bus that was sunken at the

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: bottom of it. He had to go get it out

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: to prove that he could in fact scuba dive. Yeah,

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: it sounds creepy. Done that. Yeah, I myself have never

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: jumped off a cliff. I love it. Is it thrilling? Yeah,

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: it's fun. How high was it? I think I'm probably

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: overstating it, like everyone probably does when they do the

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: skinny thing, but it seemed like it was probably about

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: forty or fifty ft. Wow, it was high. Yeah, that

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: is high. And actually there's a place at the Chattahoochie that. Uh.

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: I used to do it too, but that was like, well, Chuck,

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: you have a hair your chest than I do, because

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: I've never jumped off a cliff, but I have been

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: to Acapoco before you got me there? Have you? Did

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: you read about these guys? Oh yeah, the the La

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Cabrata diverse. I think it's nice that you bring that

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: extra acts. You don't have to bring an accent. And anyway,

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: that French dude email is this weekend. He said he

35
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: appreciated it. Yeah, He's like, I'm totally wrong, but he

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: thought it was funny. Yeah, so yeah, Brata, Yeah, it's

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: a it's pretty cool. These guys are jumping off of

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: the highest cliffs that anybody routinely jumps off of the world.

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: I did, Oh, I didn't know you actually witnessed the performance. Yeah,

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't go to Acapoco and not see it.

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: I believe it's daily, um, except maybe Sundays, but I

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: could just be making that up. But the guys, Um,

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: they jump off something like I think a hundred and

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: forty eight foot cliffs. That's crazy. Yeah, which what is

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: that meters? Chuck, Josh, that would be about forty five Okay, nice,

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: thanks for that. You're just a walking calculator. You know

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: it's written right in front of me. Um. But this

48
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: is an enormous cliff. This is what a fourteen story

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: building isn't a story like ten feet? Yeah, so they're

50
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: jumping off of fourteen story buildings into waters. It's like

51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: a little inlet and they're on one side and then

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: you're on the other with railing so you don't try

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: jumping off. And these guys just start jumping. There's like

54
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: ten fifteen of them. Wow, they do it every night.

55
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: And actually it was started by a thirteen old boy

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: back in Yeah, that's what I hear. And I will

57
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: pronounce his name as Enrique et Pakrios, very very nice. Um.

58
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: So this little boy started this tourist attraction, and what

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: has arguably become a one of the cooler extreme sports

60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: as well. But the story goes back further than that, correct. Yeah,

61
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: But I just want to point out we're on the

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: fifte floor, so this is ballpark. Within about ten or

63
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: fifty out the window were wow, Yeah, that's high. Jerry's giggling.

64
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: She's either gonna cut that out or leave it in.

65
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: We'll find out, right, that is very high. That is

66
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: real high. Yeah. I mean we would have jumped onto

67
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: the street have we just jumped out? Plus it would

68
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: have been an extra ten ft. This is water, but

69
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there's like bowlders at the bottom, there's

70
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: waves breaking. It's an inlet at the ocean, and that's

71
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: part of the trick is to time it with the

72
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: water coming in and out, and then obviously mind the

73
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: boulders and because you know, you clearly don't want to

74
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: like jump into a boulder. But what I also noticed

75
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: in this article that if you hit like a fish,

76
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: that could be bad news. Right yeah. Uh. And we'll

77
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: get into the physics of cliff diving soon. But like

78
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: I said, where where do we find the beginning? This

79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: is one of those rare um pieces of um world culture.

80
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 1: Because everybody does it everywhere. Anywhere there's cliffs, there's cliff

81
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: divers pretty much. But this is one of those rare

82
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: pieces that you can go back and be like, this

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: guy actually started it. I don't think this is the

84
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: first guy. I would say, he's probably the first guy

85
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: in recorded history. Do you want to take his name? Yes,

86
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the King kahikil of Hawaii. He

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: was the last king of Maui and in seventeen seventy

88
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: he reportedly jumped from cannot seats where I get in

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: trouble Calnolulu. I think it's pretty much how I would

90
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: in my in my head, I can pronounce it better

91
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: than that. But once it goes through the tongue, you

92
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: know what happens. That was about sixty three ft and

93
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: he uh entered the water, didn't make much of a splash.

94
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: So he earned the name Birdman and then apparently would

95
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: challenge his warriors to prove their bravery by doing the same. Right.

96
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: So that's where it started, at least that's what the

97
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: lower says. And I can imagine, you know, his people

98
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: calling him Birdman and him going, um no, it's uh

99
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: Kiley king Kay Kiley actually to you. Yeah, um, but yeah,

100
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: Actually every night at the Ratan Maui they reenact this thing.

101
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: They have some guy go up to the top of

102
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: a cliff and it's very cliff. He jumped off of

103
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: right in a loincloth and jump into the water. And

104
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: the reason he jumped into the water was because this

105
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: is where the uh the Maui's yeah right, Malian's sure. Uh.

106
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: They where they believed that souls transferred into the next

107
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: world through, yeah, the spirit world. And I guess he

108
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: was like, let's see what the hell happens, right, So

109
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: now they re enacted with the loincloth to dude, he

110
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: offers up in each direction to the sky, uh and

111
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: offering he has the lay and then a torch and

112
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: then he'll jump in right and uh when he jumped

113
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: in absolutely no one outside of the Greater Maui area

114
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: had a clue. But many years later, the cliff diving

115
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: concept really started to take off thanks to time X

116
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: and ABC Correct So time X. Back in the late fifties,

117
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: time makes used to like to um show off the

118
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: impact resistance that their watches could boast. Yeah, I remember

119
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: the and I was about to say, I remember this

120
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: one when I was remember when it first broadcast, so

121
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: clearly I didn't. But they ran this campaign through the

122
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: seventies because I remember the takes a look and keeps

123
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: on ticking things. That's right, Yeah, that's what that That

124
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: was the tagline. Right. So this commercial though they jumped in,

125
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: uh John Cameron Swayze what I don't think any relation

126
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: to Patrick. I was wondering the same thing. Actually, I

127
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: have to look that up. Uh he uh hosted this

128
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: commercial and they give a torture test. Right, No, he

129
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: didn't actually jump in, now, he was just like check

130
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: this guy out. And they had some cliff diver jump

131
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: in fist first with the time X like exposed, so

132
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: it was the first thing that hit the water, and

133
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: I imagined that after a few takes he eventually didn't

134
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: break the watch and they were like, look what happened.

135
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: So that was the late fifties and then really cliff

136
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: diving took off, if you'll excuse me, uh in I

137
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: think March nine. Yes, it took the leap in so bad.

138
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: With the A b C's Wide World of Sports, which

139
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: was a great concept. Man all over the place, they

140
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: show the craziest stuff. This is long before anybody ever

141
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: thought of the X Games or anything like that. Like

142
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: they just were like, these people are engaged in some

143
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: random sport and we're gonna broadcast it. By god, I

144
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: love that show. The thrill of victory in the agony

145
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: of defeat in Lumberjacks. The guy that the skier that

146
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: had that awful accident was always the agony of defeat.

147
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't remember that guy? Was it in the intro? Yeah?

148
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: And then when they said that it showed this skier

149
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: had this just awful crash and flipping over and like

150
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: breaking everyone in his body. Did he die? No? I

151
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: don't think so he lived. He walked away, okay, is

152
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: what I say. Um. And then here we are today, actually, Chuck,

153
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: I think about four weeks away from the two thousand

154
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: ten Red Bull cliff Diving World Championships. Yeah, the World Series.

155
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: By the time this is published, it will probably be

156
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: within a couple of days, but it's May fifteen. If

157
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: you're interested, uh in going to France to watch it?

158
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: They jump off platform. So but it's at a cliff still, right.

159
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: But on the site, I was checking out some Frenchmen

160
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: who were cliff diving, um, and they went to this

161
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: old early nineteenth century. For that Napoleon had built off

162
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: the coast of France in the Atlantic. Cool. Um, and

163
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: it's I think twenty high, which places it around sixty

164
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: ft uh huh meters. First, well, it's in France. I

165
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: just thought i'd give like a little head nod, you know,

166
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: like France. Y um. And these guys were just jumping

167
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: off this old stone fortress in the middle of the Atlantic.

168
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. Well, I don't want to say the

169
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: middle of the Atlantic. It's actually right off the coast,

170
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: but it's surrounded by water. Yeah, you know, I saw

171
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: that picture. I didn't know what's going on there. That's

172
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: what was going on. Okay, mystery solved. Is it physics time?

173
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: This is this is your bag? Actually I understood. It's

174
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: really not that complicated. No, it's gravity, it's free fall.

175
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: Physics is what we're talking about. Sure, Chuck. When you

176
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: walked in here to sit down and contribute your fine

177
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: and half of this podcast, Um, you were being pulled

178
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: towards the Earth by gravity, but you were also meeting

179
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: resistance from the ground, which caused friction. Had you actually

180
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: walked off a cliff on the way in here, you

181
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: would have still been pulled by gravity, but there wouldn't

182
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: be any resistance from the from the force of friction, right,

183
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: which makes it free fall, which does make a free fall,

184
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: which Galileo was the first to figure this out of

185
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: free fall physics. Um, when you are pulled towards the

186
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: Earth by gravity, you're actually pulled at nine point eight

187
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: meters per second per second. And the reason that extra

188
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: per second is there is because for every second that

189
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: you're in the air falling at that rate, you're increasing

190
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: in speed. So you go nine point eight meters per

191
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: second per second to what um nineteen point six meters

192
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: per second per second, and so on. So every second

193
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: you double your speed, your your your velocity. The la

194
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: city is constant, but the speed can increase given time,

195
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: But the acceleration is constant, right, That's what it is. Yeah,

196
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the acceleration is constant, but your speed your

197
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: velocity can actually increase, right given time. Now, in the

198
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: case of cliff diving, height, the height of the cliff

199
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: is pretty much interchangeable with time. The higher the cliff,

200
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: the more time you're going to be in the air,

201
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: and the faster you go. Right, So when you jump

202
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: off I think a ten foot cliff. How fast are

203
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: you traveling? That's not much of a cliff, I call

204
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: it a rock? Yeah, pretty much about seventeen right. But

205
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: if you jump off a fifty foot cliff like you

206
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: were jumping off of in the quarries, well we'll say

207
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: fifty from now on, Um, that goes up to what

208
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: right now? The problem is when you hit the water,

209
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: you encounter that force of friction again, and your velocity

210
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: goes from its maximum speed to almost zero, almost instantaneous.

211
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: It's like a second right. Right now, we've encountered why

212
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: cliff diving is dangerous because eventually you're going to land

213
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: on something. Yeah, and you know, before we move on

214
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: from physics, I just thought it was interesting that when

215
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: you do jump out, or if you get a running start,

216
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna go even faster than if you just drop.

217
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: You've added, um, horizontal velocity or horizontal force. I am

218
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: definitely not a physics guy, but you had it right. Velocity,

219
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: thanks buddy. One of the cool aspects of free fall

220
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: physics as far as it relates to humans. Also, Chuck,

221
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: get this. Do you remember learning like a long time

222
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: ago that no matter what the mass of an object,

223
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: it'll fall at the same rate. Galileo again, right, that

224
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: is Galileo. Yeah, and he actually disproved Aristotle with that one.

225
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: Some say they're both geniuses. They both are. Um did

226
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: we mention them in the Genius podcast that on that

227
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: list of fifty that ended in George Washington? Right? Um,

228
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: you might say that I've dropped a piece of paper

229
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: and a hammer the same time, and the piece of

230
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: paper took longer. That's because it meant resistance from the air.

231
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: And actually, um, Commander David Scott of the Apollo fifteen

232
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: mission famously took a hammer and I think a feather

233
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: on the Moon and dropped it and they both landed

234
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: at the same time. Yeah, there's video of it on YouTube.

235
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: Actually awesome, But I'm almost done with my physics spiel, okay,

236
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: And it ends as such, when you jump off a cliff,

237
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: and remember, you're not meeting friction any longer, and so

238
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 1: there's no resistance besides this negligible air resistance. Um, you

239
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: actually do encounter what we would consider on Earth as

240
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: close to weightlesses as we can get. Right, So your

241
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: your body is being pulled as a whole by gravity

242
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: equally all parts except for your internal organs, right, which

243
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: actually lose weightless lose weight and rise up in your chest,

244
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: which is why your stomach feels like it's coming out.

245
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: Actually is Isn't that cool? I've always wondered what that was.

246
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Goodness me. Alright, we're done at

247
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: the physics part. Yeah, well two to three g s

248
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: we should say, Like at the World Championships they hit

249
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: about two to three gs and those dudes are going

250
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: at speeds up to sixty. That's fast. That's really fast

251
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: to be hitting the water. And you want to since

252
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: we're at the water entry point, which I think where

253
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: we left off with the physics, you want to go

254
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: and really really really straight. That's the key because if

255
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: you flatten out, it is the room. You know, you

256
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: hear the legend about it's like hitting concrete. It is

257
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: like hitting concrete and you would die, yes, you would,

258
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: or you know, not be the same person afterwards. The

259
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: very least. There's actually there's a website by a woman,

260
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: a Quebecan named Patricia I think her name is, who's

261
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: created this website dedicated to warning people about a famous

262
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: tourist Cliff diving site called Ricks Cafe and the Grille Jamaica.

263
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: That's only though, it is. But this woman jumped off

264
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: this thirty five ft platform and he bet she belly flopped.

265
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: She couldn't have gone in feet first, because this is

266
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: what happened to her is she suffered a broken spine,

267
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: broken sternum, displaced diaphragm, which is never good and uh

268
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: did she look at her purse? And terrible and uh

269
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: posterior vitreous detachment which means the jelly in her eyes loose. Now,

270
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: oh man, thirty thirty ft jump. Well, the deal there though,

271
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: at the cafe is they have it set up with

272
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: the platform, right they. I mean you have to sign

273
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: a waiver or anything. I don't know. I think if

274
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: if you were a smart owner of Rick's Cafe and

275
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: you were encouraging tourists and jump off the platform, yeah,

276
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: you would have them signed her way their firstborn child. Yeah. Yeah,

277
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Well they do say in here though the official tours

278
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: tourism boards don't encourage this because it's dangerous. It's really dangerous. Yeah,

279
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: and we should also probably take the time to c

280
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: o A and tell you that we don't encourage you

281
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: to click dive either. No, I mean a tin foot

282
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: rock is one thing. But even then, if you land

283
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: on another rock, there's a lot of people like you said, fish, Yeah,

284
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: fish traveling sixty miles an hour and you hit a fish,

285
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: it's not as um let's say liquid as a water, right,

286
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: although it will be after you hit it at sixty miles,

287
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: So chuck. In addition to Ricks Cafe and the Grill,

288
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: what are some of the other um well known cliff

289
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: diving locations hot spots? Josh, that's one way to put it. Well,

290
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: I know Jamaica, the West End cliffs and the Grille.

291
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: That's where Ricks is. Oh is it that they have

292
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: the Limestone cliffs? Those are really popular? Sure? Pretty I imagine.

293
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: So there's two phrases or terms that the Hawaiians used

294
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: depending on whether you make a splash or not with

295
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: a big jump. So leally kawa that sounds right. Thanks.

296
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: That's a that's to leap from a great height and

297
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: enter the water without a splash, which we should say

298
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: is what King Kahikili did. Yeah, I think that's right.

299
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: Is that the name of the idol that the Brady

300
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: kids found in the episode where they went to Hawaii

301
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: the two parter I don't know those are great episodes,

302
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: though they really were. Debbie would know that, my friend

303
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: Debbie would know. Well, tell her to write in okay

304
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: okay um the other way. The other expression is lately pahu.

305
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: That sounds right too, thanks. Man. That's entering the water

306
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: with a big splash from a great jump, and that's

307
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: that's a bad thing, right, Yeah, some people just do

308
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: a cannon ball. Yeah, well say say so long to

309
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: your shins. Yeah, exactly. So we got Hawaii Acapulco again.

310
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: The La cabrata Um divers. Seriously, they're jumping off of

311
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty seven foot cliffs right. The next

312
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: highest that I've seen, well, actually that i've seen in

313
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: this article is in Croatia and Dubrovnik, and those are

314
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: fet and that's about the height that they do. The

315
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: competition dives. They don't do competition dives from feet because

316
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: they're doing flips and twitter. Actually I've got some stuff

317
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: on that. But they're not just diving in. They going

318
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: feet first generally. Oh really, well, for the competition, I

319
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: haven't seen many of many of those guys going head first. Dude.

320
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: The guys in Acapulco flips in mid air and dive

321
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: in like it's not just jumping off of a cliff

322
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: like these, and they'll do it like several at a time. Well, yeah,

323
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: I did see on YouTube, but want a tandem dive

324
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: or whatever? This is multiple um. Also, if you ever

325
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: get a chance to go to Acapulco, I wouldn't recommend

326
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: going now, what with the raging drug war in Mexico.

327
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: But if that ever dies down and you do get

328
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: to go to Acapulco, do go see the cliff divers.

329
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: I think that's a great move. Or if you can't

330
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: go there, just go to YouTube. You can check it

331
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: out there. Check out some awfully bad video. Uh. The

332
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: World High Diving Federation, Josh, they recommend water depths of

333
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: forty nine feet for a dive of sixty ft or less,

334
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: and they also recommend that no one dive from six

335
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: are higher unless you're a pro and you have like

336
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: scuba divers down there to retrieve your lifeless body or

337
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: at least your shattered body. Exactly. Okay, Chuck, Let's say

338
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: somebody out there is going to try this, whether we

339
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: tell them to or not, and let's just do it again.

340
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: Let's just tell them not to cliff dive. Okay, don't

341
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: cliff dive, thank you. If they're going to do it anyway,

342
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: should we give them some safety tips, Yes, Josh, we

343
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: have some tips. The first one on the list slow

344
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: and low. Don't charge out there to the sixty ft

345
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: cliff right off the bat start on the tin footer,

346
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: slow and low. That is the tempo. You want to

347
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: check out, very nice. You want to check out the

348
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: water beforehand. Swim around down there at your landing zone.

349
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: Scare off any fish. You can scare off any fish.

350
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: Feel around for rocks and things, bar uncles, underwater spears,

351
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: anything like that. Right, you go with a friend who's

352
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: always a good idea. You don't want cliff side by yourself,

353
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: You're dummy. You might as well dig your own grave

354
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: and lye in and start shoveling dirt over yourself. They

355
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: recommend to wear a wetsuit because it can add a

356
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: little cushioning. But if you've ever seen cliff divers, they

357
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: generally wear the speedo I know, which makes it one

358
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: of the sexiest extreme sports around. You don't see Tony

359
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: Hawk in a speedo, do you know? Wow? I'm trying

360
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: to imagine on skateboarding with a speedo. I'm sure somebody's

361
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: done it. Probably those crazy kids that um jackass or whatever.

362
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that one guy always wears his underwear. Uh.

363
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: We we need to talk about Orlando Duque though. He's

364
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: like the king Daddy of cliff diving. He's ill do no,

365
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: actually they call him the Duke of dive, so you're

366
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: not like he he's Colombian, but he lives in Hawaii. Now.

367
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: He's nine time world champ and his personal w kird

368
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: in competition is a hundred and eleven feet and he

369
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: holds the record for the perfect dive. He's the only

370
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: guy to ever get judged to get scored a perfect

371
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: dive across the board And um, did they factor in

372
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: how you looking a speedo into that score? Yeah? He's

373
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: a handsome man, Yeah he has Uh. He also he

374
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: was he wanted to be a high diver for Columbia,

375
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: but they didn't like an Olympic hidiver. But they wouldn't

376
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: fund him, so he was like, okay, yeah, I go

377
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: dig off cliffs performance shows. So he makes a lot

378
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: more scratch doing this, I'm sure than he would have

379
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: as an as an Olympian. I'd like to mention somebody

380
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: who's that. His name is de Juan Ron. He's Chinese.

381
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: If you couldn't get he's fifty one and he actually

382
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: holds the world record that he's set in two thousand

383
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: and eight for um cliff diving off of waterfalls. Wow.

384
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: I want you to think about this for a second.

385
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: In most cases with waterfalls, there are rocks at the

386
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: bottom and there's a little something that we like to

387
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: call a vortex. Yes, this is a swirling funnel of

388
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: water underwater that sucks you in and hold you there.

389
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: This guy aims for the center. Does that make sense?

390
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: Apparently because he's survived it would soften the fall though

391
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: probably right. I have no idea why he jumps into

392
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: the center. He just does. Wow. Ye how high? Uh?

393
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: The twelve point nineteen meters? So what's that? It's like,

394
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: it's not It isn't. But he's jumping into a vortex

395
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: for God's sake, right, and he's one. Yeah. The there's

396
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: high divers too, that's a different deal. Like the show people,

397
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: the high diving show people. That's not a cliff thing situation, obviously,

398
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: but they think the world record is do name Oliver

399
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: Farve hundred and seventy eight feet and into they jump

400
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: into those pools like a little little cup riding an

401
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: elephant cartoon. Um and the previous guy, I can't remember

402
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: what his name was, but I saw it on YouTube.

403
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: It was in the seventies and I remember watching this

404
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, and it might have been

405
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: on Wide World of Sports, but it showed oh Dana

406
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: something and he had the Camra review of his little

407
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: platform up there and it was crazy, man, I mean

408
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: I got like butterflies watching it in my cubicle Wenna.

409
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: I guess wait, there was one more thing I wanted

410
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: to say. Competition the Red Bull deal. You get three

411
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: heats per competition and you're judged on drop, position in

412
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: the air and dive which means you know your flips.

413
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: There's three things you can get scored on number of twists, summersaults,

414
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: and position during the summersaults, and then entry into the water.

415
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: So sort of like regular Olympic diving the way that scored,

416
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: but just much higher. And they call him heats because

417
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: of the speedos. I think you might be right. If

435
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this hanky email alright, saw, this is nice.

436
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: I like it when people weird dreams about us. Hello,

437
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: Josh and Chuck and Jerry. Yesterday I was going to

438
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: email you to tell you that due to listening to

439
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: your podcast on my daily commute, I've begun to describe

440
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: things as hinky instead of dodgy. She's from the UK,

441
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: which is the word I would usually use. This means

442
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: that whenever I use it, I have to explain what

443
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: it means. It's not a widely word used in the UK,

444
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: as it seems hinky' is not. Uh. This ends up

445
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: in me recommending your podcast to a lot of people,

446
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: so she's actually spreading the word thanks to the hinky thing.

447
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: Then I thought it's not that exciting of a story,

448
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: so I decided not to send the email. But last

449
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: night I dreamt I had a dream about you, guys.

450
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: I dreamt I bumped into Josh at a beach bar,

451
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: which she says she's never been to a beach bar

452
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: and she has no idea where it was. I told

453
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: him the hinky story, and then behind him he pointed

454
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: to a big sign that said hanky. Then he told

455
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: me a lot of things Chuck does rubs off on people,
