1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: Hello there, Hello, Hello. It's me Josh, and this week's

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: s Y s K Select is a little episode from

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve called Geysers Colon Nature's Innuendo. I thought

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: of that title myself, and I still love it to

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: this day, so I hope you enjoy it. It's one

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: of those really cool Earth sciences bio geochemical ones that

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: really get me jazzed, and I hope it gets you

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: jazz too. Let's all get jazz. Welcome to Stuff You

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Should Know, a production of My Heart Radios How Stuff Works,

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: Good Bloom, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark.

11
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: There's Charles W. Chuck Bryant, and uh, this is Stuff

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: you should Know. Yeah, just a couple of regular guys

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: are sitting around chat. That was good. I know, I

14
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: genuinely didn't think you were going to say, guys, really

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: a little um. This was a pretty cool article. I

16
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: thought I knew a lot about Geyser's, but I did

17
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: not know exactly what was going on there. Yeah. In fact,

18
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: I was wrong on a couple of key points. Oh really, yes,

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: which I will not point out. Oh come on, well,

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: I thought they spit out lemonade first of all. Uh,

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: and I thought there was a little guy down there

22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: doing it. Oh got lepre cons Yeah, yeah, that's what

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: everybody thinks. I was wrong on both of those points.

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Do we have a geyser myth sound effect? I don't

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: think so. Um does this count as weather? Now? This

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: is earth science, biogeochemical processes. Okay, I just know what

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: you're trying to be beef up our weather. Uh. This

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: is not whether it's not weather, although it does begin

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: with weather. Yeah, I mean when something precipitates, that's weather,

30
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: and precipitation precipitates the explosion of a geyser, that's right.

31
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: Uh chuck, Yes, I have no guys are introduction. Man,

32
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: you can't blame me though, Like I looked, and there

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: is really not a lot going on on geysers. I

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: thought you might tell the story about the people in

35
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: nineteen o three. He was going to, but I didn't

36
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: want to just usurp it. Okay, but let's do that though,

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: since you brought it up, Because I mean I thought

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: about that too, I was like, whoa hang back, Josh

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: hanging back? Well, apparently guysers can kill you. Um, and

40
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: you know when you see something like old faithful go off.

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: That's why you're three ft away watching it. Yeah, you

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna be on top of the thing.

43
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: But apparently in nineteen o three in New Zealand, which

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: is allowsy with geysers, um, some tourists visiting there got

45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: caught in a jet at uh wy man Wymani valley

46
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: nice good and uh it killed all four people and

47
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: carried them more than a mile away. Yes, that is sad.

48
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: And after after we explain how guysers work, I think

49
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: that will well we should mention that again because once

50
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: I understood how guysers worked and I read that, I

51
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: was like, those people met a terrible, terrible demise, like

52
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: they that was terrible way to go. Yeah, I mean,

53
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: it's tantamount to getting thrown into a volcano or caught

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: in dropping into the cracks of an earthquake, and they're

55
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: all kind of related, as it turns out, or being

56
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: blood into death, which is not related. No, but it's

57
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: pretty bad way to go to the geothermal earth properties.

58
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: So um chuck geysers, as I learned UM from reading

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: this article on how stuff works dot com um our

60
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: beloved site, UM, are actually kind of fragile and there's

61
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: not that many this this article, there's a thousand guysers

62
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: roughly in in the world. And um, I read elsewhere

63
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: that there's only about fifty geyser fields on the planet,

64
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: and about two thirds of those have five or fewer guysers,

65
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: which makes yellow Stone a pretty substantial repository of geyser

66
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: and guys are related activity. Because when you're talking guyser,

67
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: you you you don't ever just talk guys or you're

68
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: also talking um fumer roles. You're talking hot springs, mud pots,

69
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: steam vents, and all of them are based around the

70
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: same thing, which is there's some sort of geo thermal

71
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: activity that's relatively close to the Earth's surface, right, Um.

72
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: And there's three components to a geyser um and they

73
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: are water supply, plumbing system, and heat source. Yeah, and

74
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna argue with fourth later on later though, I

75
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: have to wait. I'm gonna call it. We'll just go

76
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: ahead and say what it is, which is a remoteness,

77
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: all right, and then we'll we'll circle back because detached

78
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: from its family, right, it comes very remote. So a

79
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: water supply, let's start there, because if you ain't got water,

80
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: you ain't got no guyser. Yeah, and I saw in

81
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: this article that um rivers can often um form the

82
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: water or supply. I didn't. I didn't see that elsewhere.

83
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: For the most part, from what I from what I

84
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: can gather is that the water supply is um precipitation,

85
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: rain and snow melt percolating through the Earth's crust over

86
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: five thousand or so years, and then it trickles down

87
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: to the point where it comes in contact with like

88
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: we said, relatively shallow geothermal activity, usually very very young

89
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: volcano volcano or volcanic activity, or very very old like

90
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: on in the throes of death volcanic activity. Yeah. Um,

91
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: and it can be anything from magma to um cool magma.

92
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: But it's very hot rock and it's close enough to

93
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: the surface that this water doesn't evaporate, it starts to

94
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: trickle back up. Yeah. And when do you say close?

95
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: Three miles down seems like a long way down. But

96
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: if you're talking the planet Earth, it's nothing. That's pretty close. Yeah,

97
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: if you're talking magma, it's pretty close. We're talking techtonic plates,

98
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: it's pretty close. It's closer than you on it to

99
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: be pale. It's a go ahead, okay, Number two of

100
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: the plumbing system, right, very important. Um. The plumbing system

101
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: is a series of fissures that run miles beneath the surface.

102
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: And one important aspect of these fissures is they're basically

103
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: sealed shut with silica from rhyolite. It's volcanic rock, um

104
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: and like these minerals have sealed this rock shut. Right, So,

105
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: like really important part of it. That water that's percolating down,

106
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: when it heats up and starts to travel back up,

107
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: it takes that silica that rhyolite with it, and then

108
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: it just kind of acts as a ceiling along these

109
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: pipes over five hundred thousand years, however long it takes

110
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: for it to go back up. It's it's ceiling and

111
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: it's making it water tight. Well yeah, and I imagine

112
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I didn't read this, but I imagine that this kind

113
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: of activity happens elsewhere on the planet, but it's not

114
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: sealed up, so it just disperses, right. Yeah. Because one

115
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: of the key ingredients of a guy's or is pressure,

116
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: high pressure, that's right. And to get that pressure in

117
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: these pipes, you have to have ryolite coated sealed pipes.

118
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: That's right. Okay, so there's the plumbing system and it

119
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: can the plumbing system varies. All guysers are different. Sometimes

120
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: it's just like a huge, long vertical chaft. Sometimes it

121
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: binds and turns and winds around. Okay, so this is

122
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: this is something that actually differentiates guys are from a

123
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: hot spring. So a hot spring is just like a

124
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: like a long vertical chaft coming from hot water um

125
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: up to the top, but there's no obstruction. What makes

126
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: the guys or a geyser is the fact that there's

127
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: an obstruction in the plumbing right where the hot spring

128
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 1: water can just move freely up and down. There's there's

129
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: just free exchange and you soak around in it like

130
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: a big lazy wall rush. But there's no pressure. With

131
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: the guys are, there's some sort of obstruction where either say,

132
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: the water on its way back up and there's this

133
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: wide pool that bottlenecks at the top, so now you

134
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: have pressure. There's a bunch of different pipes feeding into

135
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: one pipe and they all connect to the same place

136
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: another bottleneck or this this pipe of water is so

137
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: wide and so deep that the pressure from the water

138
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: above the water at the bottom is so tremendous that

139
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: for all intensive purposes, it creates a bottleneck just strictly

140
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: out of pressure without an actual obstruction. Yeah. Just the

141
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: weight of the water itself is so great. So we

142
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: have a water supply and a plumbing um system that

143
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: is sealed with rhyolite which makes it water tight and pressurized,

144
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: and then some sort of means for pressure to build. Yeah,

145
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: and uh, I guess we can go ahead and liking

146
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: it to a pressure cooker now, so you understand we're

147
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: talking about if you've ever cooked with a pressure cooker

148
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: at home, or if you've ever eaten it Chick fil

149
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: A and eating their delicious pressure fried chicken. Is that

150
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: how they do it? Oh yeah, let's explain pressure. So

151
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: that's why there so juicy man um. So water is

152
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: standard water is just gonna boil it like a hundred

153
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: degrees celsius in the fancy French water. Um, if you're

154
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: if you're cooking with a pressure cooker, which means you know,

155
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: the littue sealed shut it lets out some steam or

156
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: else it would explode obviously, Um, it will actually take

157
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: a lot more energy to boil and bubble up, which

158
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: means more heat and so you can actually cook in

159
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: a pressure cooker at like twenty five degrees, right, because

160
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: it's just substantial for under that pressure. It takes a

161
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: lot more for what it was boiling water. But it's

162
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: like air bubbles forming and rising to the top. When

163
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: the pressure is too great, it can't boil. So the

164
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: boiling point rises, right, Well, it boils, but it won't

165
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: it can't evaporate. Well, no, it can't. It can't form

166
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: the bubbles that carry to the top, so it can't

167
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: actually boil. So it's just sitting there in this high

168
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: pressure environment at high higher than boiling point temperatures, and

169
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: the same things going on in a geyser. Right, You've

170
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: got the obstruction, you've got this heated water, and you

171
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of pressure because again we're talking

172
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: about miles deep, um, and there's that's quite a bit

173
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: of pressure at the bottom the water at the bottom,

174
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: and it's getting hotter and hotter and hotter. Yeah, like, um,

175
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it depends. But for guys are

176
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: to form and start, they think the oldest one is

177
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: between five thousand and forty years old. So yeah, so

178
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: it takes a little while because you know, the plumbing

179
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: has to has to steal up and everything. But as

180
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: that pressure builds and then that heat um increases, you

181
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: can reach temperatures of like four or five degrees fahrenheit

182
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: of this water and it's still not boiling, right, that's right.

183
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: And then eventually it does boil. It overcomes that pressure threshold. Well,

184
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: it finds its way through to to the escape route,

185
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: which is the top of the surface, and it'll just

186
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: and that's not the eruption, it'll just scored a little

187
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: bit of water out. You'll go and think, wow, that

188
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: was a big relief, and such a big relief that, uh,

189
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: the steam all of a sudden expands to fundred times

190
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: the volume of the water. It's like if you're ever boiling,

191
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: uh you ever steam vegetables in your house. The best

192
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: way to steam vegetables is you don't just set it

193
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: on a massive boil and cover it up. You get

194
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: it to that massive boil and then you turn that

195
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: heat down low, and all of a sudden, that pressure

196
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: drop creates like massive amounts of steam. Right. And the

197
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: reason why is because when you increase pressure, you increase

198
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: the temperature. That's the boiling point of water. If suddenly

199
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: you have that temperature still, but the pressure decreases that

200
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: that water and this guys are just flash vaporizes. And

201
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: because there's a lot more volume to an equal amount

202
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: of water and steam, that steam, like you said, expands

203
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: to what times of volume? Yeah, and there's your guys

204
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: are how Yeah, it's that's all of a sudden, all

205
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: the steam in the water just gets shot out. Depending

206
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: on what kind of guys are it is, it's going

207
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: to take different formations and be different heights and last

208
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: different amounts of time. But um, it'll keep going until

209
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: it either runs out of water or it cools down

210
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: enough for it just start all over again. Yeah, and

211
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: then it just starts all over again, which is how

212
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: you get something like Old Faithful. All right, that's right.

213
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: Once it once it releases that um that pressure and

214
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: it shoots out, it's the whole process just begins again,

215
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: and you have, um, guys are's like Old Faithful that

216
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: erupt like on a pretty regular schedule. I think it's

217
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: between like sixty and eighty five minutes or something like that. Well,

218
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: I've got the new schedule schedule because it's been it's

219
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: been happening with greater with less frequency in greater power

220
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: in recent years, I think it's said since two thousand

221
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: UM and it's a bimodal. They call it bimodal. And

222
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: if you're going to Old Faithful in Wyoming, Um there

223
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: are generally two eruption durations now, either a long one

224
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: which is over four minutes, or a short one, which

225
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: is about two and a half minutes. And if you

226
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: have just missed the short one, there'll be about an

227
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: hour before your next eruption. If you have just missed

228
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: the long one, then there's gonna be about an hour

229
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: and a half until the next one. But either way,

230
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: it's it's worth sticking around for it. Yeah, And it's

231
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: funny if you go to the page and there's obviously

232
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: a webcam up where you can see it and stuff,

233
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: but that's not as fun. But if you go to

234
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: the web page and they ask for tips on you know,

235
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: seeing it, they say, well, if there's a lot of

236
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: people sitting around on the benches, that means there's one upcoming.

237
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: If there's a bunch of people getting up and leaving,

238
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: that means it just happened. It's like, wow, really, yeah,

239
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: that's the best you can do. That sounds like um,

240
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: like hippie park ranger logic exactly like um. Okay, so,

241
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: uh well, I guess we're onto like famous geysers, right, yeah,

242
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: Actually quickly I mentioned I teased about the fourth um

243
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: thing remoteness. Apparently, in the last fifty years, uh, producing

244
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: energy with geo thermal energy production has increased so much

245
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: that it's affecting geysers, and so being remote is now

246
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: believed to be one of the requirements to be a geyser,

247
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: because geysers are vanishing because of man. Because so I

248
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out this out, maybe you can

249
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: help me. That's because we dig down to these this

250
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: this um, these geysers of this geo thermal activity, and

251
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: in doing so, are we creating like a release valve

252
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: so the pressure camp build as much I think so.

253
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean they're using it to spind turbines to create energy.

254
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: But I know you can also have like a geo

255
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: thermal system in your backyard, which I don't think uses

256
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it like creates steam. So I feel

257
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: like what we're doing then is creating artificial geysers, like

258
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: eating an artificial pipe to let steam out, which would

259
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: impact any natural guys activity. I because like we said,

260
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: they're very fragile. Earthquakes frequently um cut them off. They

261
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: also bring them back to life too. Yeah, that's true.

262
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: Like there was one called the Stroker Geyser that that

263
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: would be str o k K you are, yeah, and

264
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: that's stroker like stroker race right right. So Stroker geyser

265
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: um is after the Icelandic well, Stroker is after the

266
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: Icelandic verb to churn, and actually geyser's after the Icelandic

267
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: verb um to gush. So this is all very Icelandic

268
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: in origin. But that would be g e y s

269
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: i R geyser okay in Icelandic. Sure, I own how

270
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: Buyork pronounces guyser. Have you seen Kristen Wiggs impression of her?

271
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: Huh that's really great? Um okay, So the Stroker Geyser

272
00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: was actually um it was enacted in nine um because

273
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: of an earthquake, and then another earthquake hit in and

274
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: it became inactive. It went dormant and the local said,

275
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: we got to get our guys are back, man, it's

276
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: all blocked up. So they cleared it off and now

277
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: it's running again. I bet that was probably dangerous work

278
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: dangerous um. Another way to that humans are impacting is

279
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: a mineral extraction. Apparently in two thousand three, Uh, they

280
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: were extracting minerals in Chile, the second largest geyser field

281
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: in South America, and it killed it basically from extracting

282
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: golden stuff. Because basically they mess with the plumbing and

283
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: then you're finished. Because it's like you said, like, um,

284
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: in a pressure cooker has that little steam val so

285
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't explode. The guys aren't supposed to have that, right.

286
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: If they have that, they just don't go off. They're like, well, fine,

287
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: I'll just let some steam off and um, um, that

288
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: does happen. Naturally, there are steam it's located near geysers.

289
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: Um like yellow stones. Like we have ten thousand um

290
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: geo thermal um what is the word they use, Uh,

291
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: basically different things. We have ten thousands of your thermal

292
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: different things. Um. But the vast majority of those are

293
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: like steam vents. Oh they're man made. No, they're they're natural. Like. Oh,

294
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: they're like little steam releases that come up through fissures.

295
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: Okay in the earth. I thought you meant we put

296
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: those in to make old faithful like safers. No, they

297
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: happen naturally. Um, but I think it's the same thing

298
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: as drilling a hole down to a geothermal um different

299
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: thing and uh and tapping it to run a turbine. Okay,

300
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: at least you didn't say interesting. Interesting, man, this stuff

301
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: is very interesting. Um, old Faithful is a cone geyser?

302
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I understand the difference? Is it the

303
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 1: is it the good difference? Is it the outlet like

304
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: the shape of the thing above the earth. Yeah, So

305
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: with the cone guys or, the rhyolite bubbles up and

306
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: enough over time that it builds up and it forms

307
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: a little cone and that's what the guys are shoots

308
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: out of. And normally with the cone guys or you

309
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: have a big stream going jet going into the air

310
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: like hundreds of feet. That one in um in uh

311
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: New Zealand, the Wyman ge geyser. Um, that one streamed

312
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: seventy ft into the air and for those of you

313
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: in New Zealand, that's four hundred fifty that's a world record, right, yeah,

314
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: nineteen oh two, Yeah, before it killed people, right, and

315
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: then it went dormant in nineteen o four because of

316
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: a landslide, which makes me think like this thing's coming back.

317
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: I just gotta bubble back up and then shut down

318
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: right afterwards. Yeah, it's really had a really chaotic to

319
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: your career. It's like a rock star that overdosed on

320
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: heroin or something. Um. But anyway, as I was saying, um,

321
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: the cone shoots a jet into the air. The fountain, Um,

322
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: it shoots in a much more like chaotic streme whatever.

323
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: But it doesn't come up from a cone. It comes

324
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: up from a pool. So at the surface, the geyser

325
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: goes into a pool of water and then that will

326
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: erupt out of the water, and that would be the

327
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: grand geyser. Um, the tall that's the tallest regularly erupting

328
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: guys are on the planet. And that is also a yellowstone. Yeah,

329
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: the tallest in that it shoots up in the air. Yeah,

330
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: two hundred feet in crazy fountain e hard to predict fashion. Yeah,

331
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: which is pretty surprising too, because the cone geyser shoots

332
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: a jet straight up in the air, and this fountain

333
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: geyser is still beating the average one. Yeah. Could you

334
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: imagine if it was a cone geyser, it would be

335
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: mind blowing to the moon. Uh. You mentioned the stroker

336
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: ace geyser the steamboat guys are. Yeah, apparently can choo

337
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: water up to three hundred feet, but don't bother stopping

338
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: by because it hasn't happened for fifty years. It can

339
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: go fifty years between. It's finicky. Yeah. Um there's also

340
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: the geyser. We to the o G geyser because that's

341
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: where the word came from. It's a geyser in Iceland.

342
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: It was discovered in um so it's the oldest known

343
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: guys are on the planet. But they took some samples

344
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: of the silica that forms the cone of the castle

345
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: guys are in Yellowstone. That's the one they think is

346
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: five thousand to forty thousand years old. Apparently silicon dating

347
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: can use some work. I did see one interesting little

348
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: and it wasn't a joke. It was almost like you

349
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: could hear science guys laughing about it. Though. You geysers

350
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: are always called geysers, even if they quit erupting, but

351
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: that ceased to make seats to be a geyser at

352
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: that point. But once you have erupted, you're always called

353
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: a geyser. The cone formerly known as geyser. Yeah, that's

354
00:20:49,600 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: what I would call it. Shameful, uh, let's do you

355
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: know that whole story about Prince doing that about changing

356
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: his name. No, I never knew the story behind it.

357
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: So he was locked in a contract with Sony that

358
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: he didn't like, and Sony basically said, you can't release

359
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: an album as Prince. Yes. And but also that had

360
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: something to do with him acting basically crazy, like he

361
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: acted crazy on purpose to get out of his contract

362
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: because there was some sort of clause where like if

363
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: he was if he went nuts or whatever, it would

364
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: avoid his contract. So he did that, and he had

365
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: that font release and I remember he released it to

366
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: the media like, um, his little symbol yes to as

367
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: like a font add on so you could just print

368
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: the symbol when you were writing about him. And his

369
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 1: contract with Sony was either avoided they gave it up

370
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: or whatever. But he was basically like, I'll show you

371
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: crazy if I need to get out of this contract. Boy.

372
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Oh yeah,

373
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: I'll bet. And I don't even think I put it

374
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: in my top five when we had that listener mail

375
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: that time, but probably forgot. It's probably in my top five.

376
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: I would like to see print sometimes he brings it

377
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: he um, he bought you me a bottle of water

378
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: at um a Miles Davis show at the Cotton Club.

379
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: Really wow. Her friends came up to see the lemon

380
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: Heads and she's like, yeah, I'll go with you, and

381
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: then found out that Miles Davis was playing. It's like,

382
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over here, bottle of water, Evan Dando,

383
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: Miles Davis exactly. Let me think about that. Sorry, e

384
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: d um So that's uh, that's print. Oh yeah, and guys,

385
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: oh yeah, guys are too. Um. If you want to

386
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: learn more about guysers, you can type that word g

387
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: E Y S E r S. That's the English spelling.

388
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: We didn't do it icelandically. Um, but you type that

389
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: in the search bar at how stuff Works dot com

390
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: and it will bring up this fine, fine article. And

391
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: I said search part host of works dot com, which

392
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: means it's time for listener mail. All right, Josh, I'm

393
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna call this, uh given a local Brooklyn night, a

394
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: plug for his election. But that's not how it started. Okay,

395
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: that's kind of a complicated title. Um, guys who just

396
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: listen to your podcast How Labor Unions Work, And I

397
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: want to thank you for trying to give a very balanced,

398
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: uh story to what is a very complicated and contentious subject.

399
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: As a former New York City union organizer, so this

400
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: guy was the real deal. I am very familiar with

401
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: the arguments against unions, but I truly believe American workers

402
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: in the American economy are better off with unions and

403
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: without when unions are strong. Typical union organizing when unions

404
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: are strong, there is some counterpoint to this total acceptance

405
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: of rampant greed that was essentially the cause of the

406
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: financial meltdown in two thousand and eight. At this point,

407
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: with unions at their weakest and a half century, we

408
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: average Americans are being held hostage by operations. This is

409
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: what he says. Um, I have to say. In my

410
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 1: line of work, violence was not the norm, but intimidation

411
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: by the employer was constant. They did everything from threatening

412
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: workers with being fired, lying to them and telling them

413
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: they did not have collective bargaining rights, to telling them

414
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: the union would only steal their dues and not get

415
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: them a good contract. The deceptive HR person right there. Yeah.

416
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: Or they would tell workers, um, they would work out

417
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: individual deals with them if they would vote against the union,

418
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: like trying to Yeah, that's pretty pretty, Harry. Even once

419
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: when we were organizing at a Catholic hospital, they told

420
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: the workers they were going against God if they tried

421
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: to organize. Yeah, can you see like those priests like

422
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: union breaking cracking heads with metal baton. The only problem

423
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: I had with your podcast was the lack of coverage

424
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: you gave to the triangle shirtwaist fire. We mentioned that.

425
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: He said it could have been none more. He said

426
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: it could deserve its own podcast. Well, that's true, we

427
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: mentioned it. He said it was one of the deadliest

428
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: industrial accidents in the United States history. Last year, hundreds

429
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: of people came out to commemorate the one year anniversary

430
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: remember of the lives lost due to lock stairwells and

431
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: exits that fire was a major turning point in labor

432
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: conditions in New York City and around the world, as

433
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: well as bringing light to women's terrible working conditions. And

434
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: I wrote him back, and it turns out, uh A

435
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: day e d is his name. Fox is running for

436
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: Brooklyn City Council. I said, you know what, dude, we'll

437
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: plug your campaign. Uh www dot e d E f

438
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 1: o X dot com, ad a fox dot com and

439
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: good luck in your bid. For city council in Brooklyn. Yeah,

440
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: if you wear um sunglasses with Neon arms on them

441
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: and into like your pro union, I would say, God,

442
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: vote for this. I think we can help garner you

443
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of the hipster vote maybe, since we

444
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: are both aging hipsters. I not a hipster, dude, I

445
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: am not a hipster, and I've maybe aging, but I'm

446
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: not a hipster. Well you look a lot more like

447
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: a hipster than you used to. Well if you, uh,

448
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: I guess if you have a political campaign you're running, Um,

449
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: we want to hear about it. We heard from another

450
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: guy um in uh was it in Maryland, a state legislator.

451
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: He's a he's a legislator for Maryland who was writing

452
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: about human trafficking. That's right. Shout out to that guy

453
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: as well. Um, but if you are a politician that

454
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: listens to stuff, you should know we want to hear

455
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: your viewpoints. Let us know what you gotta say, how

456
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: we're helping you, how we can help more that kind
