1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to Stuff you should know

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: from house Stuff Works dot com. Hey, welcome to the podcast.

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles Bryant, who is with me

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: is always. I don't know what I'd do without each

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: other man. Seriously, it'd be like having um a conjoined twins, separated,

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: one that has its head into still alive. You were

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: being mean to me seconds before he went on, and

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: then he butter me up right when in front of people.

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: In front of people, you have hundreds of thousands of people.

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm secretly very abusive to you behind closed doors, aren't Yeah,

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: so chuck, Yes, my fellow ian f er. Oh yeah,

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: we took the Myers Briggs personality tests. Pretty cool. We

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: are again like conjoined twins, except for the distinction of

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: the P and the J. I'm a perceiver, you're a judger, right,

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: and I think we compliment each other well in that regard.

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: I agree. I'd actually like to do a podcast on

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: that test. Let's do it. I think we should do.

19
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: We haven't do you know if we have an article

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: on that? Oh, we'll just make stuff up. Yeah, yeah,

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: I totally want to do it though. I found it

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: really fascinating and I did not think I would, and

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: I was. I was into it. So maybe we can

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: work swimming with whale sharks into that somehow too. Who're

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: just doing podcasts now based on personal experiences around the

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: office Tomorrow is going to be called ham and Eggs

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: for breakfast. So, speaking of around the office, Chuckers, as

28
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, we have a bunch of new, kind of

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: cool articles about um al toys on the site. Who

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: to thunk It? Yeah, the curiously strong mint. She took

31
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: my line, I'll kill you. So yeah, We've got a

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: whole suite of articles. We have like a sub channel

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: in the science channel that's dedicated to Altoy's really yeah,

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: have you been on you haven't been on it? Now?

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: I wrote a few of them now. The final products

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: look pretty good though, all right, I think so. The focus,

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: as you know, since you have written some, was on

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: this stre range little group of people called tent evaders. Right, yes, well,

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: let's talk about them a minute. First, let's discuss candy. Okay, yeah,

40
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: it sounds good talk about al twits, Chuckers. Do you

41
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: have candy in your mouth now like you did during

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: the Twinkies show. I know, let's let's address that show.

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: We Yeah, we got a few letters that came in

44
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: that said, what was Josh eating during the twinkiespot? Even worse,

45
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: why was Josh eating? Yeah? It sounded like he had

46
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: a Werther's in his mouth or something, or candy and yeah,

47
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: one guy guess whethers are Jolly ranchers. Not true, Josh

48
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: didn't have anything in his mouth, and we've surmised that

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: because we're talking about twinkies. He was just frothy, and uh,

50
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: it's weird. I went back and listened to it, and

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: I definitely sound like I'm chewing on something. But no,

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: I think I just really wanted a twinkie. I guess

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: you were too cheap to pick them up, weren't you. Right. Yeah, So,

54
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: just to let people know we're slightly more professional than

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: to suck on candy while we're trying to podcast despite

56
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: our illustrious surroundings. Rightly, although we do have jolly, we

57
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: have candy on our desk, and we we avoid it

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: during I think Jerry would literally murder us if we

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: just started eating candy during a podcast. Yeah, so um, yes,

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: I think I might salivate again. Okay, alright, So Chuck,

61
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: did you know that altoids, these these little mints date

62
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: back to the reign of King George the Third, who

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: is the mad king who drove the colonists to revolt

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: seventeen eighty. Dude, people have been sucking on these mints. Also,

65
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: did you know that King George may have had a perphyria?

66
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: And what is that? It's um, it's what's it called.

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: There's acute intermittent perfyria, which is I think when they

68
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: think King George had it's a congenital disease where porphyrins.

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: I can't remember what they do. I think they get

70
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: rid of waste build up in your blood stream, in

71
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: your system, and uh, it can get kind of bad.

72
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: It can have um effects on the nervous system. You

73
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: can have psychological effects, which is why they think King

74
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: George was mad. Um. And the stomach cramping is unpara level.

75
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: It's really horrible stuff. But the prefer you might be

76
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: most acquainted with. I can't remember what it's called, but um,

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: it's it's where your photo sensitive. You can't go out

78
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: into sunlight, you can't be exposed it's sunlight. It was

79
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: featured in the others you ever see that one? Um.

80
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: And also that's where they think the vampire legend, or

81
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: that aspect of the vampire legend came from, was from

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: people who had I thought you're gonna say, given bad

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: breath or something. That's why they created Altoid. And I

84
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: think that was consumption, yeah, which was pretty big around

85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: seventeen eighty, which is when they were first created, right, Yeah,

86
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: and that's always by the way, we mentioned the curiously

87
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: strong man. That was their slogan from day one. Yeah,

88
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: because they use real peppermint oil and lots of copious

89
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: amounts of it's hardcore stuff. Oh yeah, as anyone who's

90
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: ever had an Altoid knows. Yeah, it does a trick though. Yeah. So, um,

91
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: in America, we in America, we love uh to attach

92
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: weird pop stuff to candy to food, like he's kool Aid, which,

93
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: by the way, we should probably make that correction to

94
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: while we're at it. It wasn't kool Aid at Jonestown.

95
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: It turns out it was flavor Aid. I've done some terrible,

96
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: terrible things in my life. I don't I've never felt

97
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: more ashamed than I do for missing that really Yeah, well,

98
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, like I told the hundreds of people that

99
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: wrote in and corrected us on that, sure it was

100
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: flavor Aid, but unfortunately for kool Aid. What matters is

101
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: what people think of and remember and don't drink, and

102
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: the kool Aid is what people remember. I don't even

103
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: know if unfortunately is the right word. It could be fortunate.

104
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about it. How's Flavoride's market share doing

105
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: since jonestown exactly? And and so basically in America, we

106
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: don't just eat things like we eat things and then

107
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: turn them into cultural phenomena but icons, right exactly. So

108
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: altoids isn't any different. Um, And it's not necessarily the mint,

109
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: although I agreed they are curiously strong. Um, it's the

110
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: tin that seems to like really get people's juices going,

111
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, who out there hasn't had altois

112
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: at some point and saved the tin and kept you know,

113
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: paper clips or spare buttons or rubber bands or something

114
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: in them. I don't know who. I at my house, Fuller,

115
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fuller at home right now, I have a couple

116
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: of altoys tins on my desk with assorted, Uh, little knickknacks. Yeah, yeah,

117
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: because it's you know, it's it's perfect size, it is convenient,

118
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: snap shut, and I think that's what led this whole

119
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: tentovation thing. Well yeah, technically that makes you a tinovator

120
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: is exactly what I was gonna say. But a tinovator nonetheless,

121
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: which I guess we should define this a tentovator um

122
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: as we've turned up through our research as somebody who

123
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: um finds new and novel uses for old altoits tins.

124
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that, and it can be as

125
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: simple as throwing rubber bands in an old tin. But

126
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: some people have come up with much more advanced projects

127
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: of them that that that involved an nodes and electrodes

128
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: and weird stuff that I would electrocute myself trying. So

129
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: should we talk about ten evators? I don't see why

130
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: should we talk about these people? Yeah? Who you want

131
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: to talk about first? Because we did? I have to say, Chuck,

132
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: this could have gone either way, this assignment writing these articles.

133
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: But the but the people that we ran across, at

134
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: least the ones I wrote on, we're generally really interesting.

135
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: They were interesting people and the stuff they came up

136
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: with was very interesting, very creative, which I was very

137
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: thankful for. Let's start with Jake von Slat. Yes, let's

138
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: steam punk steampunk guy. Um. For those of you who

139
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: don't know what steampunk is, it's kind of this um

140
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: subculture movement that's based out of this sub genre, like

141
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: sub sub of speculative fiction that centers around the Victorian

142
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: era and all like the fantastic contraptions that like Jules

143
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: Verne and H. G. Wells came up with, right, so,

144
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: like throwback stuff that's in fact kind of futuristic, right so. Um.

145
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: Jake von Slat came up with one of the most

146
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: recognizable steampunk relics at her, which is the steampunk desktop computer. Ude.

147
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen it? It's wicked cool. Have you

148
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: read the article that Jay strick wrote Jonathan Strickland, our

149
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: writer called the Stamfellow Podcaster. We have a cool, cool

150
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: article that's just on steampunk on the site. I think

151
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. I would never get caught up in

152
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: something like that because any any movement where you're dressing

153
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: up and going to events, it's not really up my alley.

154
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: But I like to look at them when they walk

155
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: by me on the way to their convention. Sure yeah, um,

156
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: I'm more into first suiting, but I can see how

157
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: somebody would, you know, uh, get into steampunk. It's it's

158
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: interesting even looking from the outside in. But Jake fon

159
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: Slat is kind of the a de facto godfather steampunk.

160
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: But it also happens to be a tent evator too, right, right,

161
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: so he makes a little steampunk tens. Now that he

162
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: sells the too right, I don't know if he sells him.

163
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: I think it's he's there's there's kind of um. One

164
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: of the things that goes along with Altoyd's almost like

165
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: almost across the board is that, um it's open source.

166
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: So like Jake von Slat like puts instructions on how

167
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: to do his projects up for free on his website,

168
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: which I think is called steampunk workshop dot com, which

169
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: is really cool if you ever ever tooled around on it.

170
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Um and also some of the other people will talk about,

171
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: especially to do it yourself electronic electronic folks. There's kind

172
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: of this sentiment like I created this project and I

173
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: want to share it with the world, and here's how

174
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: you can do it step by step, which is really

175
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: big about sharing it seem like sort of a community,

176
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: and there a couple of the guys I interviewed had

177
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: um guys and gals had gotten in touch with other tentivators,

178
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of surprised they don't have a little,

179
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: uh a little mini convention at some point. Oh yeah,

180
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: just wait for it. It'll happen. We'll go. Yeah, well,

181
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: just as a chipmunk and a rabbit and go to

182
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: the convention. Yeah. So, do you want to explain how

183
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: how he does this or do you just want to

184
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: kind of give you what what? Von Slack came up,

185
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: but this is just one of his projects. He has

186
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: other altoyds Um projects too. Um. Since he steampunk, he's

187
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: being into Victorian stuff. So he shows an etching, a

188
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: copper plated etching, and um, I was on his site

189
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: just kind of getting the gist of it so I

190
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: could explain it in the article on him. It's called

191
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: how to make a Steampunk altoids tin um, and he

192
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: goes through all these really elaborate um techniques to copper

193
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: plate an altoids tin pretty advanced and somewhat dangerous. It is,

194
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: it's very dangerous. He's using acids and chemicals and like hardcore.

195
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: Um a POxy removers electricity and water together, yeah, which

196
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: is always a little fun. Yeah. I actually when I

197
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: when I wrote it, I copied and pasted the couple

198
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: of paragraphs describing that part and send it to him

199
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: to see. Like I said, I don't want any of

200
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: our readers to be electrocuted. Because he told me if

201
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: this is accurate, and he wrote back he's like, here's

202
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: a here's a much simpler way to do it. So basically,

203
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: through trial and error he came up with the simplest method,

204
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: which was good for me because I could comprehend it

205
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: and wrote about it. So basically what he does was

206
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: he takes um what is it? He calls it blue vitriol,

207
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: which is the Victorian era word for or phrase term

208
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: for copper sulfate. Right, so he uses the terminology to

209
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: the lang. Yeah. Yeah, actually he's steampunk to the core,

210
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: buddy um. But anyway, he takes us and and just

211
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: with a with a Q tip, he dips it in

212
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: um the copper sulfate, rubs it on the back of

213
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: an Altoy's ten that's been stripped of its paint and

214
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: buffed and everything um, and it turns copper and copper

215
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: plates it like that. It looks really cool. Yeah it does.

216
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: But that's not the end of it, right, So he

217
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: takes like a Victorian etching, like well a digital image

218
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: of digital like just something off the internet exactly, and

219
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: then he prints it out on like a transfer paper

220
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: like pressing peel or something. What do they call pressing

221
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: peel in Victorian era? You know? Know? So not that though, buddy, Yeah,

222
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: maybe was that my Victorian era lady? Was it? Really? Yeah?

223
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: I thought that was Eleanor Roosevelt. I think it was. Um.

224
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: So he'll take the transfer paper, put it onto the

225
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: back of the newly copper plated altoy's tin, and and yeah,

226
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: here's where it gets very dangerous. Right, here's where electricity

227
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: comes into play. So he gets a twelve L one

228
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: amp d C wall mounted transformer, right, pulls one out

229
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: of his pocket. It's it's probably steam powered, um, And

230
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: he he clips the positive side to the altoy tin

231
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: he wants to etch. He clips the negative side to

232
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: like a dummy altoy tin to throw away one. And

233
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: then yeah, he drops it into a salt water solution.

234
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: He said, one teaspoon of salt for every quart of

235
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: water and I got the impression he wanted at least

236
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: a gallon enough to to submerge the altoys. Tin throws

237
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: it in there, turns on the power weights ten to

238
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, turns off the power this is very important,

239
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: reaches in right, and then removes it. And also I

240
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: saw a picture of it's cool like the the water

241
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: starts bubbling. In terms of dark. Yeah, it's pretty cool looking.

242
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: So he turns the power off and then takes it

243
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: out and he uh, he scuffs off the transfer paper

244
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: and it's been etched into the metal, so into this

245
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: copperplated metal. He buts it, adds some rouge buffs, it

246
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: brings it to a high shine. There you go, such

247
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: a cool product. It is really cool. And I mean

248
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: again in the article, just from what I wrote, you

249
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: can do it. Uh. In all the articles we included

250
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: how to make your own of what these people made,

251
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: because like it's open source. Um. But yeah, if you

252
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: if you really want like detailed instructions, you can go

253
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: into his site too. Well. I think the fact that

254
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: they with all of these I noticed it was the

255
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: fact that it was an altoid sin is what got attention.

256
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: Basically because I did one on this kid, Nick Brand

257
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: who makes a little mini flashlights from the little small

258
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: I think it's the m tin and he sells these

259
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: kids online and kind of like your guy Aaron Dunlap

260
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: to who does the USB charger and Nick brnn with

261
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: a flashlight. The fact, the mere fact that it was

262
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: an Altoids tin made people go, oh, man, I gotta

263
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: have one of those, because it's really nothing more than

264
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: a little small, tiny flashlight you can put in your pocket,

265
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: like the little plastic once you can get at the

266
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: gas station checkout line for nine nine cents. But it's

267
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: an outoid stin so it's cool. Yeah, yeah, that's Dunlap

268
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: said that, uh what he created his USB charger UM

269
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: just out of necessity he wanted he wanted. Uh. It

270
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: uses a nine volt battery like a dollar apiece UM,

271
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: and he added the USB charger in the connector and

272
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: all that stuff and he just he connects his smartphone

273
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: to it and it gives it like sixty minutes of

274
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: talking time or four hours of standby just from one

275
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: nine volt battery, which is cool. He also makes kits

276
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: and sells them, and he said he had some left

277
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: over UM from his first project. That's why he put

278
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: kids together to sell them. Um and he said that

279
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: had he chosen just a plain old office sheelf metal enclosure,

280
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: he suspects he'd still be trying to sell the first

281
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: twenty five, but instead he sold thousands and actually founded

282
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: a company called the Electroids Company just to handle the order.

283
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: He got picked up on like dig and Boing boying,

284
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: and he said it was the it was the allure

285
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: of the altoys, did it? Yeah? What is it about

286
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: the tin? Well? I think Well, I interviewed Nick Brand

287
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: and this other guy, Matthew Poech She does uh, he

288
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: does a speaker like you can plug your iPod into

289
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: this Altoids tin and play your music out loud because

290
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: he's drilled little holes like a speaker grill on the

291
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: top of what's it called the Minty Boost? No, no, no no,

292
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: that's it's called speaker Okay, Because there is an altoys project.

293
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: It's a legendary altoy project by um Leemore Freed, who

294
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: I haven't met her interview, but he he seems to

295
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: be kind of like this d I y Altoid's electronics guru.

296
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Um and he came up with the Minty Boost, a

297
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: lot of people tip their hats to him or I

298
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: think I think you're steampunk guy kind of takes it

299
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: to the next level personally. Well, when you're etching a

300
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: Victorian era stuff, that's pretty cool. Yeah, he's a he's

301
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: a sub subgenre guy or a sub subculture guy. He's

302
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: a steampunk altoys tent evator, which it doesn't get more

303
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: niche than that. I don't think I had another actually

304
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: one of my guys too. A lot of there's kind

305
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: of two camps. You can either be artistic and like

306
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: we've seen some cool like shadow boxes and I know

307
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: one of your uh the ladies you wrote about that

308
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: a zen garden, which is kind of cool, and then

309
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin is people that do

310
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: um a more useful thing like flashlight speakers, USB chargers,

311
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Right, Yeah, there's there's an artistic

312
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: side and then there's like a technical side. But the

313
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: artistic side, dude, I've got the man who I wrote,

314
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: David's Alban He actually does fine art and makes big

315
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: dough so what's album does. He actually uses the tens

316
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: as his canvas, so he will mount tens, you know,

317
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: pressed against one another. I'd buy side and at whatever

318
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: a four ft by four ft frame and actually paint

319
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: over them all. So what you have is as a

320
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: complete finished painting in small little blocks, almost like a mosaic. Yeah.

321
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: I haven't seen this stuff. Yeah, he's based out of Miami.

322
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: And the articles up on the site yet. Uh my

323
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: speaker article is, and the flashlight article is, and the

324
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: fine art article is cool, and the shadow box article.

325
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: We'll check it out. Man. Lots of tentivators, I know,

326
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: I wrote at least ten, I think really. Yeah. So

327
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of stuff about tentivators and how to

328
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: undertake their projects and if it was too involved, we

329
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: just kind of kicked it to a site like instructibles

330
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: dot com. Yeah that's a great site. Oh yeah yeah,

331
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: very in depth detail stuff. So you can buy some

332
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: of these kids too, if you're too lazy to do

333
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: it yourself, yeah yeah, or the kit you kind of

334
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: have to put together yourself. So that's fun, good projects

335
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: for kids. Yeah. And when there was another guy named

336
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: Matthew Pogue who came up with the Swiss AVR knife. Well,

337
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: and he's a saying guy that as a speaker. No,

338
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: he he made his speaker based on Lemore Freeds Minty Boost.

339
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: So he's like he was just training himself in the

340
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: art of UM do it yourself electronics based on other projects.

341
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: But he's also a tent invator as well, and he

342
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: came up with the Swiss AVR knife, which uses an

343
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: a VR chip. It's like, uh, I think eight bit

344
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: processor something like that, UM, and you can program and

345
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: it's reprogrammable because it uses onboard flash memory. But UM

346
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: using a little sound output device and some little LED lights.

347
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: It goes through all these different UM mechanisms like the

348
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: mini menorah, so like all the LED lights light up

349
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: or um there's the uh, what's it called this noisemaker

350
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: and it just makes all these different digitized sounds that

351
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: fans of craft work would really appreciate that one. UM.

352
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of people are putting a lot

353
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: of thought into altoids tunes. It makes I feel like

354
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm wasting my life, you know. Well, let's go get

355
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: some altoids and empty them out and start painting on

356
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: them or something. Let's do that, Chuck. Let's do some

357
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: folk art. Okay, yeah, it's the easiest kind of art

358
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: I believe, so yes, well, Chuck, that's tinovators. If you

359
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: want to read more about tinivation. Uh. As we said,

360
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: we have a ton of articles on the site. You

361
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: can find those just by typing altoys I imagine into

362
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: the handy search bar and how stuff works dot com.

363
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: Since I just said that, that means it's time for

364
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: listener mail. Yes, Josh, we gotta listener mail. I'm just

365
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna call America's Funny Some Videos. Oh, I like this one.

366
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: They took a bit of ribbing from us for me

367
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: specifically in this are Stupid People Happier? Because I put

368
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: that show at the very bottom of the food chain

369
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: comedy wise. Getting kicked in the groin? Yeah, what's funnier?

370
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: So this comes from Jason. Jason says, I just listened

371
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: to your podcast Stupid People Happier, and I loved it,

372
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: especially the part about the America's Funny Some Videos. I

373
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: thought you might be interested to know something that most

374
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: people don't know about laughter. The following excerpt about how

375
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: jokes work applies equally well to the a f V videos.

376
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: And this is from the Definitive Book of Body Language.

377
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: That's what he quoted. The basis of most jokes is

378
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: that at the punch line, something disastrous or painful happens

379
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: to someone. In effect, the unexpected ending frightens our brain

380
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: and we laugh with sounds similar to a chimp warning

381
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: others of imminent dancture. Even though we consciously know that

382
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: the joke is not a real event, our laugh releases

383
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: endorphins for self anesthesis as if the joke the word event. No,

384
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: that's a real word. If it is a real event,

385
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: we may go into crying mode, and the body would

386
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: also release endorphins. Crying is often an extension of laughing

387
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: about a laughing about, and is why in a serious

388
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: emotional crisis, such as hearing about a death, a person

389
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: who cannot mentally accept the death may begin laughing. Yeah,

390
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: it's interesting, it's right on the money. When the reality hits,

391
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: the laughter turns into crying. So there you have it.

392
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 1: To be a dude get kicked in the groin and

393
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: it's funny. That explains it all. Yeah, so I guess

394
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: I am the stupid person. Yeah, the joke is on me, Chuck.

395
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: You're pretty far from stupid. And I think the only

396
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: way to end this is for you to keep me

397
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: in the groin. I I will do that. Come here.

398
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: Only way to come stand right here? No way right? Well,

399
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: I feel like plugging a few things. Look at you? Okay, So, Chuck,

400
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: We've got two pages on our face on Facebook. There's

401
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: one that for Josh Clark and Charles Bryant. That's us

402
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: or Chuck Brian. I think it is. Uh, there's the

403
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,560

410
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: but it's getting pretty I think you think. So. Yeah,

411
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: it's a little different. We do like news items and

412
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: current pop culture things, and it's I think it's kind

413
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: of fun. I'm proud that there's very little crossover between

414
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: the podcast and the webcast. We're really working. We're like
