WEBVTT - Time Travel: Hey, Future Self

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Welcome to Stuff from the Science Lab from how

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>stuff works dot com. Hey guys, and welcome to the podcast.

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 1>This is awesome that I'm like the science editor how

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 1>stuff works dot com and this is Robert Lambstein's writer

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>at how stuff works dot com. And this week we

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>are talking about time travel. Yes, in two parts, right,

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna tackle traveling into the past. But first in

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, we're gonna tackle traveling into the future, which

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>is a pretty common element in science fiction, television shows, music,

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Have you ever wanted to travel into the future. Well,

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>aside from the very slow pace at which we're traveling

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>into the future right now, I was going to actually

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>mention that, um, no, I don't really want to travel

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>in the future. You wouldn't want to meet your future

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>self if you're not curious about Robert lamb and no,

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>because every all sorts of horrible things happen when you

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>meet your future self. You know you've seen time cop

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>right now, you haven't seen but like like to Yeah,

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>this one's Jehan Cleon van Dam and like the bad

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>spoiler alert, but the bad guy ends up meeting himself

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>in the future and they're like scheme for a while,

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>but then they get kicked into each other and they

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like melt and stuff, so you know, it just doesn't

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>look pleasant. Plus most of the time, traveling into the

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>future ends up going to some horrible place with you know,

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>robots and dystopian you know, system of government and you know,

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the apocalypse and all. Plus you have more of a

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>zen o. Look, if I'm reading that correctly, where you

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>like to sort of just exist more in the present,

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>is that true? Um? No, I like, well, I like

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that idea. You know, obviously I'm no sin Master, so

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>um Robert Lamb science writer and zin master. Yeah. Um,

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, traveling into the future I guess would be

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of cool if you could just it's just some

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>any problems come with it, which we'll get into here.

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>But but yeah, at the very basics though, um, you know,

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>we are all traveling into the future. That's what's happening.

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Like just then, I just traveled into the future a

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 1>little bit, So it's hard not to get stuck on it.

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Get the passage of time. Yeah, Like if when you

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 1>get get down to it, you know, it's like the

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>present that we exist, so we don't really experience we

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>only think about the passing moment, and then you know,

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and then you know that's and then that one little

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>moment that's where we spend all this time thinking about

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the future, remembering the past as it happens. Though, we

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>can sort of control the speed at which we travel

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>into the future, or at least the speed that we

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>experience it at um, thanks to a little something called relativity. Um.

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Einstein has a pretty famous quote on this. He says, quote,

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>put your hand on a hot stove for a minute,

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.519
<v Speaker 1>girl for an hour and it seems like a minute.

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>That's relativity. Yeah. Now, I think I would argue with

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Einstein that it depends on the pretty girl, um, because

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>what if she's talking about something really boring you know, um.

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>And it also brings to mind life if there was

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you really don't take this too literally,

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>because you could not, say, build a time machine by

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>just like filling it with beautiful women, you know, and

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>having them like talk at you. Likewise, you couldn't live

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>forever by constantly burning yourself. But but there are some

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>other things that actually do have major effects on the

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>passage of time. Yeah. One of the big ones of

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>course quite literally is mass like the physical mass of something. Yeah,

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and this one, this one one that really really kind

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>of blows my mind a little. Um Like global positioning

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>satellites they gain about like a third of a billion

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>second every day, and that's one of the contributing reasons here,

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>is that they're farther away from the Earth from it

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>from its center of mass, which drags on time and

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>slows it down so um. And then there was a

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Stephen Hawkey makes a great analogy

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 1>with or a great you know comparison with like the pyramid,

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.119
<v Speaker 1>like large you know, like one of the great pyramids,

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>large center of mass, and if you're standing next to that, um,

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>time is going to happen slower for you then it

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.279
<v Speaker 1>would if you're standing like out in the you know,

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>in the waist, it would you know, not not in

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>a sense that you could actually detect or experience, but

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>that it would be there. So to actually travel into

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the future with it, with any you know, in any

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of meaningful way, you would need like an enormous

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>amount of mass though, like a black hole. Yeah, it's

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>like you could go and do laps around it. Essentially

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>right right, a supermassive black hole perhaps, Yeah, like there's

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>probably one kicking around the center of our galaxy. Yeah, see,

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>what would happen if you circled the black hole for

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years without falling in? If that's a

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>key part, you'd return to uh an Earth where an

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>entire decade had passed. Yeah. Yeah, it's just you know,

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>you would you would experience like a year, they would

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>experience a decade. You would have aged a decade, they

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>would have aged a century. So it seems kind of

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 1>like it's it's even like explaining it and having read

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the explanations for it, it it still kind of sounds like magic.

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.919
<v Speaker 1>But it's just I mean, it's it's it's physics at work.

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Um now. And and of course, another interesting one is

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the way speed alters time. It's called time dilation. Yeah,

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 1>this was pretty snazzy. Has yet to work its way

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 1>into like a major movie plot. Um. I was talking

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to a friend about this. We're like, man, they never

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>worked time dilation into into a thriller, you know, because

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>it's such the thing. It's like such a slight change,

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 1>but this is one that we can actually measure. Um.

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, so time passes slower the closer you appro.

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>It's the speed of light. So if you have two

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 1>identical clocks, you leave one at the station, you put

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 1>one on a speeding train, right the uh than the

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>one than the At the end of that train trip,

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the one that remained at the station would be just

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>like a billionth of a second um ahead of the

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 1>one that was on the train. Okay, now that's not

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Uh. You know, even if you spent your

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>whole life on it's not even enough to blink. Yeah. Yeah,

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Like you couldn't get like really paranoid and be like

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that's it. I'm gonna live on a speeding bullet train

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:33.679
<v Speaker 1>the rest of my life, and I'm gonna live forever.

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not gonna happen. You'd have to if the train

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 1>could maybe attain like nine point nine speed light speed,

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>which is like ridiculous uh speed, you know, impossible, you know,

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>certainly with any foreseeable technology that we have right now,

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>perhaps and particle accelerators. Yeah yeah, well that's true. That's true,

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and that's really not commercially Yeah, I don't have a

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>particle accelerator in my backyard, do you No, But at

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>that speed, one year would pass on board, Um, you're

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>accelerated train for every two D and twenty three years

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that passed back the train stations. Insane. So yeah, you

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>could essentially, like any year's time, you get on board

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>your time machine and then travel for a year, and

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 1>then you would essentially travel two d twenty three years

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>into the future. So that's ah, that's pretty fascinating. And yeah,

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>there's actually, uh, you know, some some more evidence for this,

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>uh in some of our observations we've made with particle accelerators.

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Sure over it, certain they've been checking into this, right. Yeah.

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 1>They have these extremely short lived particles called pie masons,

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and ordinarily they disintegrate after just five billions of a second,

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but you accelerate them near light speed and they last

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty times longer. Wow, that's practically a practically nothing still true,

0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>but still it shows that, I mean, it's proof positive

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>that that it's this can be done, whether it can

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>ever be done in a way that actually allows human

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>time travel. Uh, you know, we'll see. Okay, so we

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>get on a really fast train, and that's one way

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>we could travel into the future. And by really fast,

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of course, we mean something approaching the speed of light,

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>which it's not really on the table now. So what

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 1>about another possibility like wormholes, which we are also going

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to get into in the Traveling Back in Time podcast. Yeah,

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a yes, a some physicist I believe that in

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the quantum foam, which is this tiny, tiny environment, smallest

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>environment in the universe, they're just constantly wormholes popping into

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:44.199
<v Speaker 1>existence um linking one portion of space time with another

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 1>portion of space time. And that conceivably we could sort

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>of grab onto one of these holes before it disappears

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.319
<v Speaker 1>enlarged enough to fly say a spaceship through it, and

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>in while I we'd come out somewhere some wind else

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>it right at another invent in spacetime. Yeah, and of

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>course that brings a number of problems with it, you know,

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 1>like how how do you choose which a little tiny

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 1>momentary hole in space time to expand? And then how

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>do you crawl through it? And how do you expand

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 1>in the first place? And uh yeah, and how do

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you not end up in some like horrible like hell world,

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, just like in the movies. That's what happens

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>in the movies is on setting so watch out. So yes,

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>time travel in the future is possible to eliminate extent.

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>We're doing it right now. If you if you hop

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 1>on a train, or if you're listening to this on

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 1>on an airplane or in the car, you are experiencing

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>it as well. Perhaps that's not the answer you were

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 1>looking for. Perhaps you're looking to jet a century ahead

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>or a few millennia ahead, and that's not really the

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>case quite yet, right, do not go stand next to

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a pyramid and and blame us. Of course, if you

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>really love formans, then time might speed up, just like

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Einstein sitting with this pretty girl. So on that note,

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>do we have any listener mail to get into? Grab

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a few letters? Uh? Sitting around here? Don't we? We? Do?

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>We do? Do you want to read in this seek? Sure?

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>What have we got right? This one comes from Calum

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>aged fourteen. Hi, Allison and Robert. I'm a new listener,

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 1>but downloaded some of your back episodes of which I

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>really like. I'd like to bring up the episode Amazing Infestations.

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>You remember that one? That was a fun one. Yeah,

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>this isn't a complaint. I really like your podcast and

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>all of the house stuff works podcasts. Admittedly, rats are

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>classed as vermin, but they also make amazing pets. They're

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>cute and as almost intelligent as dogs. They can swim

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>half a mile without stopping and tread water for three hours.

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:50.079
<v Speaker 1>I've never tried this out. I have three rats, Smudge, Blizzard,

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and Cleopatra Cleo for short, and have included photos so

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>that you can see the rat that rats are cute

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and not all vermin. Cleo is my favorite. Yeah, Cleo

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>is pretty cute. They're all cute, all like white rats,

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. Uh, sorry for that the photos are blurry,

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>but the rats are fast runners. Thank you for reading

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>this email from the signs it so so yeah and

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 1>they yeah, he included photos of all the rats and

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 1>they were they were cute and uh and certainly that's

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>something worth mentioning, is that even though you know, pretty

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 1>much with any of these species that had become a problem,

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it can be traced back to to

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>humans causing some imbalance in the in the environment. You know, um,

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>like at the very heart of things, like you have

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>like a dense metropolitan area, like a medieval city, where

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>everything's dirty and wretched and there's food or available, and

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you have rats, you know, an explosion of raps living

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>in the area. But you can't blame the rats. They're

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>just you know, responding to the environment that humans have

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>artificially created. Well then also you think about those Christmas

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>crabs that were overrunning Easter Island, you remember those that

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>we talked about those, and that infestation is a natural thing.

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>It's short lived, it happens, and admittedly it's probably a

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.439
<v Speaker 1>little unsettling for your house to be overrun by Christmas crabs,

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't happen for a long time. Yeah, And

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>there's actually some remember reading some some stuff about the

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Christmas crabs claiming that that that it happened because of

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, some particular species ended up being eliminated due

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.679
<v Speaker 1>to you know, some other species being introduced on the island.

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>And then there's another invasive species that's uh, just like

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>hurting the crabs. Now it's you know, hurting the crabs

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>are hurting the crabs like like an Australian I like

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the idea of the hurting that would be that would

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>be amusing. It would be like the there was an

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>old lady who's falled a fly. You know, Christmas crabs

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>are out of hands. They bring on the wolves to

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 1>herd them around and then they have heard the wolves.

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, cute rats. Yeah, and we always like hearing

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.079
