1
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Guden Talk Friends and neighbors. I am Ben brought worst

2
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Bowland and has always joined with my co host Nolan's

3
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: going to give you a nickname, Noel de Berlinger Brown.

4
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: I reject my nickname, and your nickname you can do better.

5
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: You can't reject my nickname. You can only reject your Okay,

6
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: I reject my nickname, and I accept yours with open arms.

7
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: Um as it turns out that I am the one

8
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: most qualified in this room to give German nicknames. My friend,

9
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: but I was once a young German boy. You mentioned

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: on a previous episode that you did live in Germany

11
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: until the age of six. I did, and then I

12
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: fell out of a tree house and I lost all

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: of my memories of my childhood. And that's true, very true,

14
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: except for the memory lost part. But I do have

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: a very distinct, terrifying memory of falling out of a

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: treehouse that was overlooking the soccer field and everyone surrounding

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: my broken body. And uh, from then on I was

18
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't speak German anymore. And that was Thursday. That

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: was last Thursday? Right? Or were you a child? What

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: happens periodically in my life. There are a lot of

21
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: tree houses in your life and finding a dangerous amount

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: in fact, and I'm always drawn to them, despite my

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: troubled history with treehouses. And yet here we are to

24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: talk about sausages sort of by way of Zeppelin's Yes.

25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: And some of you may be saying, Hey, Ben, Hey Noel,

26
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: how the heck are you going to pull that one off? Well,

27
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: don't worry, We will tell you. But first we want

28
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to our super producer and

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: fellow Treehouse fan, Casey Pegram. I'm gonna catch him. I'm

30
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: gonna catch him nice too quick. Now, when we say Zeppelin,

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: this may be a huge plus to some of us,

32
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: this may be a huge downer to others. We mean

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 1: the vehicles, we mean the airships, dirigibles. We don't mean

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: led Zeppelin the band, although it does turn out to

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Keith Moon, the insane, incorrigible. Keith Moon, drummer of The Who,

36
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: the late drummer of the Who, coined that term led

37
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: Zeppelin when he heard the boys um that would go

38
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: on to become led Zepplin playing under their current name,

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: the new Yardbirds, and said it was would go over

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: like a led Zeppelin. In other words, he thought it

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: were shit as smart as a screen door on a submarine, right,

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: But yes, Zeppelin's the real thing. You have seen them

43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: in the past. You have often perhaps mistaken a blimp

44
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: for a zeppelin. But there's a very important difference, one

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: that we covered on car stuff, but we should examine today.

46
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: Let's set the record straight, Ben give it to us. Well,

47
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: both of them work the same way, right, Both blimps

48
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: and zeppelin's work by being lighter than air. They're filled

49
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: with a gas that's lighter than oxygen, so intensely flammable

50
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: and intensely flammable. There's a great article from Mental Flaws

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: called Blimp versus Zeppelin? What's the difference? And as you

52
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: all know, we are big fans of mental Flaws over here,

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: and we think this is an important difference to make.

54
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: So both of them work by being lighter than air

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: and having a the same approach as a hot air balloon.

56
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: But a zeppelin has a rigid structure, uh, a skeleton

57
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: if you will, a frame beneath this Uh. It makes

58
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: it more suitable for longer trips, but it also makes

59
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: them predictably more expensive. Yeah, it's true. Um. In fact,

60
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: the guy that invented the Zeppelin has a delightfully evil

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: sounding German name. Maybe I just think all German names

62
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: sounding evil, especially if they're related to the Nazis. But

63
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: his name was Count graph Ferdinand von Zeppelin, and he

64
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: created this monstrosity. And the idea was that it would

65
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: be a steerable balloon because, like you mentioned then, a

66
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: hot air balloon you can make it up or down

67
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: by releasing different weights, but it's very hard to steer it.

68
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: A blimp, on the other hand, does not have that

69
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: rigid structure. And it was named apparently, according to this

70
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Mental Plus article, the name dates back to the nineteen

71
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: sixty and supposedly it's an automotopeia for the sound that

72
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 1: it makes when you thump a balloon blimp. That's great.

73
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: Also count Zeppelin as a fascinating side note. Part of

74
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: his inspiration for airships came from being an unofficial observer

75
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: in the American Civil War. It was with the Union Army. Yeah,

76
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: but why are we talking about the structure of these Zeppelin's. Well,

77
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: to answer that question, we will have to go to

78
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: World War One and you know, you can set the scene.

79
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: You can picture the incredibly horrific deployment of various chemical agents. Right.

80
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: You can also imagine, as you've seen in so many

81
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: films about this period in time, you can also imagine

82
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: the brutal trench warfare that's occurring. But it wasn't all

83
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: people fighting on the ground, no, and the sky there

84
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: were buzzing planes dropping bombs and dive bombing and zipping

85
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: this way and that. And then in the front, approaching

86
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: you from the distance through the hazy fog of war,

87
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: is this formidable shape coming ever so slowly towards you.

88
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: And it is a scary mother, isn't it, Ben? And

89
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: it's the Zeppelin. It is as imposing as its name.

90
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: This is a massive cylindrical balloon that has a metal

91
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: skeleton and it's filled with hydrogen. As we noted before,

92
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: it can steer in and out of enemy territory. They

93
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: have a heavy hum that lets people know a bombing

94
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: raid is about to begin. And Germany was doubling down

95
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: on Zeppelin's at this time. They felt that raids led

96
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: by Zeppelin's would give them a clear advantage in war tactics. Yeah,

97
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: largely because of that fright factor. You know, they were

98
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: absurdly menacing. I mean, it's it's It's just it's such

99
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: a trope to when you think about like kind of

100
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: steampunk sci fi, the idea of that menacing, hovering zeppelin

101
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: is always sort of a feature in the background games like, uh,

102
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: the Bioshot game that had that kind of like alternate

103
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: you know, civil post Civil War World. You know, Zeppelin's

104
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: play a huge part in that. I think the big

105
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: boss fight at the end is inside this menacing vehicle.

106
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: But they weren't incredibly effective at actually killing people. They

107
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: could carry large payloads and you could drop bombs from them,

108
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: and they could transport personnel, but because they flew at

109
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: such high altitudes to make them more difficult to detect,

110
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: it was pretty tough for them to drop bombs with

111
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: any real level of precision, right. Yeah, they didn't have

112
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: a technology that would allow them to pinpoint an area

113
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: even even roughly speaking, So their primary purpose, the primary

114
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: use was to move supply and troops and to function

115
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: in a surveillance capacity, which, by the way, uh, some

116
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: airships still do today, very high on Earth's atmosphere. Throughout

117
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: World War One, Germany's one hundred and forties Zeppelins were

118
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: only responsible for around what deaths. Yeah, it doesn't seem

119
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: like a pretty good stat for killing. Yes, and one

120
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: thing that you and I both found fascinating, And I

121
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: don't know about you, my friends, but I was not

122
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: aware of this until our research for this episode began.

123
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: It seems that Zeppelin's affected German citizens even more than

124
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: they affected citizens of enemy nations, but in an unpredictable way. Yeah,

125
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I would argue that it's possible that more

126
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: than fifteen hundred Germans died from lack of sausage. No, okay,

127
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a stretch. But seriously, though, they

128
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: did have to give up their delectable encased meat tubes.

129
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Um because these Zeppelins. That casing that we're talking about

130
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: that you used to make so sussage, turns out that

131
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: functions pretty well as an air tight balloon material, which

132
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: is what they used to make these zeppelin's. Right. Specifically,

133
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: they found the most effective material for encasing hydrogen was

134
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: something called gold beater skin. I love this. This sounds

135
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: so weird. It's just the word gold and beater together,

136
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: gold beaters skin. This substance is made from cows intestines,

137
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, you source those from Butcher's right, and in

138
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: World War One. They sourced it from Austria, Poland northern France.

139
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Here's what happened. You wash the cow intestines skin off

140
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: the external membrane and then bathe them in an alkaline mixture,

141
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: stretch them out to dry, and you've got this stuff

142
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: named gold beaters skin. Before the age of Zeppelin's it

143
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: had a different use. Yeah, they used it. Jewelers used

144
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: it to wrap around pieces of gold that they could

145
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: then hammer out in those super papery thin gold leaf layers. Um,

146
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: I had no idea about that, and I think that's

147
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: fantastic gold beater skins. But then, of course we know

148
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: sausage is basically just ground up meat that's encased in

149
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: this lining, and it's a perfect material for filling with

150
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: the sausage meat. And then you've got this self contained

151
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: packaging that you can also eat, and it gives it

152
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: a nice snap, and when you grill it, you get

153
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: nice grill marks on it. Everybody likes a good a

154
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: good sausage. You didn't have that, it would just be

155
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: ground sausage like breakfast sausage that you'd form into your

156
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: own patties. And not nearly as sexy, no, not nearly

157
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: as sexy. And without this component of sausage, we also

158
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't have we being human civilization, not just an old

159
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: casey of myself. We wouldn't have effective Zeppelin's because they

160
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: found that they could modify this gold beaters skin by

161
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: moistening the skin and then patching the pieces together into

162
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: larger sheets. When they when they patched these together, the

163
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: sheets would dry with air tight seals. Yeah, I'm trying

164
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: to picture that. So you'd have the like just they

165
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: would lay out in giant warehouses, just these patches and

166
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: the sheets of guts and then just wet them down

167
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: and then kind of like stick them together and then

168
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: let him dry and then they would seal up perfectly.

169
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: This just seems like whose idea was this? And how

170
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: did they decide, Okay, this is actually gonna work. We're

171
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna be able to fill this with hydrogen and uh

172
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: have people hanging from it, you know, hundreds and hundreds

173
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: feet up in the air, right, How did they figure

174
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: this out? Human ingenuity is astonishing. I've always loved to picture, uh,

175
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: some guy like the older man and the kids in

176
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: the hall, sausage eating sketch, who is just trying to

177
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: maybe he's trying to fuse sausages together and then boom,

178
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: he invents the Zeppelin. I know that's not how uh

179
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: count Zeppelin actually discovered this, but it's a cool it's

180
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: a cool idea, and regardless of the origin, no other

181
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: material could seal this tightly, mind blowing. So, like I

182
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: described a minute ago, I mean, I don't know if

183
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: that's exactly how it's done, but I'm picturing just sheets,

184
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: and she did this stuff laid out. And when I

185
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: say sheets and sheets, I mean the product of about

186
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand cow guts to make a

187
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: single hydrogen gas filled zeppelin. And as much as Germans

188
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: loved their vorce, they decided they were going to double

189
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: down on this long range bombing technology, um at the

190
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: risk of maybe never having a delectable sausage treat ever again.

191
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: So let's do the math one and forties Zeppelins over

192
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: the course of World War One on the German side,

193
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: and then two hundred and fifty thousand cow intestines per zeppelin.

194
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: That leads us to thirty five million cow intestines Geez louise,

195
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: And it became a big deal to keep track of

196
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: whether or not butchers were delivering these byproducts to the state,

197
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: right then, Yeah, absolutely, you would have agents of the

198
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: Kaiser monitoring every book you're in areas that Germany controlled,

199
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: so again Austria, Poland, Northern France and of course Germany.

200
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: Interesting story about northern France. No, for a time, the

201
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: butchers there were not allowed to make sausage. Yes, yes,

202
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: that's German for forbidden. What I don't know what French

203
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: is for forbidden? Casey cool, Ladies and Gentlemen, has been

204
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: Casey on the case Ladies and gentlemen. What would we

205
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: do without super producer Casey pegram So to my co

206
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: host earlier point here, when we picture this idea of

207
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: making this gold beater skin and then further modifying it

208
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: to make this envelope for hydrogen, the question we have

209
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: to ask ourselves is how did this actually happen? And

210
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: here's a weird aspect to this story. In a documentary

211
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: called Attack of the Zeppelin's, a University of Cambridge engineer

212
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: named Dr Hugh Hunt notes that there's not much surviving

213
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: information on how these were constructed, and not only that,

214
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: ben despite them not being the most effective weapons of war,

215
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: they were kind of tough to shoot down for a

216
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. They were so high up. We didn't

217
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: really have super precise long range weapons for just like

218
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: shooting them full of full of holes or whatever. And

219
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: it was pretty impervious, like you could shoot one with

220
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: a bullet and it wouldn't immediately go down. I would

221
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: like have a like pop, a slow leak, but this

222
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: material was so relatively sturdy and rigid, I guess that

223
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: it wouldn't just deflate like a balloon getting poked with

224
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: a needle. Actually, they ended up having to come up

225
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: with kind of special techniques for taking down these Zeppelins.

226
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: Did you hear about that? Right? Right? This gets a

227
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: little bit into James Bond territory. They would fire these

228
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: bullets that contained phosphorus inceniary bullets, and they would fire

229
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: a massive amount of them at once, just a barrage.

230
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: And as we mentioned before, and as you may have

231
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: heard in the tragic case of the Hindenburg that burst

232
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: into flames and incinerated in front of the eyes of

233
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: God in all of the American children watching on television.

234
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: Um hydrogen is incredibly explosive, and when you hit it

235
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: with phosphors, things happen astonishing things or terrible things, depending

236
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: on which side of the war you were on. So

237
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: now we know that even even the people who were

238
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: German citizens were being deprived of sausage and monitored. And

239
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: this is strange because we're thinking about intestines, right, but

240
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: we're exclusively focusing on on cattle. So what makes a

241
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: cow's intestine superior to say that of a of a

242
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: pig or a goat. Well, then not to degrade the pig,

243
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, as it's also one of God's creatures. But yeah,

244
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: it turns out the cow, the structure of those massive

245
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: guts are just a lot more substantial as you can imagine,

246
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: right right spot on. It's a matter of efficiency, and

247
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: cows guts are, as you said, just larger. There's another

248
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: question that pops up here. Could you make sausage without

249
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: a case? What would it be? I'm sure they had

250
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: to because the intestines were being taken, but not the

251
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: ground meat that would later become sausage filling. Right, Yeah,

252
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: that's true. It's like I said at the top of

253
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: the show, would be a lot more like the kind

254
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: of packaged breakfast sausage you get that comes in a

255
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: plastic tube rather than an edible, delightful, snappy, gutty tube. Um.

256
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: But you know, even some chefs, you know, you really

257
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: do treat that casing like packaging in some respects, because

258
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: you will split it open sometimes and you use it

259
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: for various cooking. If you're gonna do more of a

260
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: sauce or make a sausage base, you know, or if

261
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: you want to eat it whole. You got it all

262
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: right there. It's already made for you to just grill

263
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: up and dig right into. So it's kind of a

264
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: multi purpose thing, right, yes, multipurpose indeed. And here's another

265
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: interesting statistic. Earlier we had mentioned the amount of cow

266
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: intestines right two fifty per single zeppelin, But what does

267
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: that represent in terms of actual individual sausage casings. According

268
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: to one estament from from a cool website, if i'll

269
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: call edible geography, I'm in love. According to this estimate,

270
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: each zeppelin floating through the air, each operational zeppelin represented

271
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: up to thirty three million potential sausage casinges Man, that

272
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: is a lot of gutty parts. And let's snap back

273
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: to reality. You know, you look around today, you don't

274
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: really see these towering monstrosities lurking in the distance. Do

275
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: you unless you go to like a football game, but

276
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: we know that's more of a blimp situation. That's the

277
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: good year. Yeah, And they they, you know, take really

278
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: cool aerial shots of football games and the like, and

279
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: they're used for advertising. You occasionally see one floating around,

280
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: but no, it's not really a thing. Um. It was

281
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: such a thing back in the days of World War

282
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: One that that aerial at the top of the Empire

283
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: State Building was apparently initially the idea was to be

284
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: a docking post for Zeppelin's but it turned out that

285
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: there were like up drafts from the city that caused

286
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: it to be wildly unwieldy. And who would want to

287
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: pop off blimp that high above a thriving metropolis. That

288
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: sounds terrifying. What would you come down like a giant ladder?

289
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: I I don't know, I don't quite see how that

290
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: would work. Maybe just get a wingsuit and give it

291
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: a shot. So, you know, Von Zeppelin, he definitely left

292
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: his mark, and uh, I would say that the remaining

293
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: mark that he has left behind is more in pop

294
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: culture and art and film and this idea of this

295
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: kind of sinister looming uh Leviathan of the sky um,

296
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: but not so much a functional thing that we do

297
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: much with anymore, whereas submarines and other technology developed the

298
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: same time totally still around. Well this this is fascinating.

299
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: I love airships. And there's another episode that we have

300
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: to do spoiler alert on the first airborne aircraft carrier.

301
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: I know right that will be coming up soon, But

302
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: we do want to end also on a happy note.

303
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: While the age of air ships may have passed, or

304
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: while airships in general maybe in decline, sausage survived World

305
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: War One, which I'm sure we all sort of understood

306
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: from walking through a grocery store, and thank God and

307
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: thank goodness. Yes, as of two thousand sixteen, the average

308
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: German consumed four point five ms of sausage alone. That

309
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: appears to be on the decline year over year, but

310
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it will spell the end of the

311
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: sausage industry unless somebody comes up with something new to

312
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: do with those amazingly versatile sausage cases. Now, the last thing,

313
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: since we're just in a trivia frenzy right now, did

314
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: you know that back in the day, another use of

315
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: those uh gutty parts were to make gut you know,

316
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: children's balloons for you know, birthday parties. You know, it's

317
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: like he could definitely make like a puppy or something

318
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: out of it. We would probably smell a little weird,

319
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, it's true. Takes all kinds. Oh yeah,

320
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: and the process of making these things would have smelled abominable.

321
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: We didn't, we didn't even mention that part. But you

322
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: can find information on the strange history of sausage and

323
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: more by checking out the article on how Stuff Works

324
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: by Candice Gibson ridiculous history. A nation sacrifices it's sausage

325
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: to fight a war. And we want to ask you, well,

326
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: I guess we both of us. I want to ask

327
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: you what your opinion is on sausage. Do you have

328
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: Do you have some strong likes or dislikes? Because sausage

329
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: is one of those things that some people hate. And

330
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: if you do like sausage, are you a mustard guy

331
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: or gal? Do you do you like it just clean?

332
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: Just as is you like it grilled boiled? Give us

333
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: all your sausage deats right to us. It ridiculous at

334
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: how stuff works dot com. And speaking of you specifically,

335
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: you nol. What do you say to some listener mail

336
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: open the bag? Oh cool, we have a bag, of

337
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: course we do. What else? It's made of intestines, That's

338
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: that's why it smells in here. Our first letter comes

339
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: from Alison m uh and she says, hello, Ben Noel

340
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: and podcast staff, thank you for the lovely podcast episode

341
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: on Star Trek and MLK two Trek. He's like myself

342
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: as old news, but it's still a lovely story and

343
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: one I love to hear over and over. Also, WHOOPI goldbk.

344
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: Sorry about seeing Michelle Nichols on TV makes me smile

345
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: every time. Unfortunately, I do feel the need to point

346
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: out one rather glaring error in the podcast which made

347
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: me laugh out loud. You've probably already received a million

348
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: emails we don't know, just the one about this um

349
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: us Treki's can be overly critical and particular about our

350
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: beloved Trek. Sorry about that. Please forgive me this email

351
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: is a million and one again, just the one. Um

352
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: Noel mentioned how the chemistry is obvious between who Are

353
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: and Kirk during the first interracial kiss, and you played

354
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: a clip of who Are talking about her trust of

355
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: Kirk immediately before the history making clip. The clip, while correct,

356
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: is a bit out of context. The characters are being

357
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: held hostage on a planet of very bored beings with

358
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: strong mental powers that can control the actions of our

359
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: heroic crew. They dressed them up, It's true, they're in

360
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: like these kind of Greek or gy type outfits and

361
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: make them dance and seeing and entertain the aliens like

362
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: puppets on strings. They also forced the kiss between Hura

363
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: and Kirk. At the point of the kiss, who are

364
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: and Kurt are both in fact being sexually assaulted. So yeah,

365
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: I tried to cop as much as possible in that

366
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: episode to not being uh intimately familiar with the Star

367
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: Trek canon, and I did think something was a little

368
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: fishy about that clip, But I still stand by the

369
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: acting chemistry in the scene, you know what I mean,

370
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Like that was important in and of itself, I will

371
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: say that, but contextually story wise, yeah, I can see

372
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: how that's a little problematic. Um, does it cheapen the

373
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: moment in history? No? No, it doesn't cheap in the

374
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: moment in history, but it does make our show better

375
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: to hear from you, so thanks so much for writing it. Absolutely,

376
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: that's not the end of the letter though, right. No.

377
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: She goes on to say, you both set up front

378
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: that you're not Trek fans, and it's perfectly understandable how

379
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: such an air could be made from just that clip

380
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: without knowledge of the episode plot behind it. Kirk is

381
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: also a well known ladies man, uh, and it seems

382
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: plausible that he'd get with a whoa to This email

383
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: is not men as a criticism of your check knowledge

384
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: or research, just an explanation, and I wouldn't have sent

385
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: it if it weren't for the comment about the chemistry

386
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: between the two of them. Um. I got a good

387
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: laugh from that. Thanks. Thanks for all the hard work

388
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: with you on the podcast and sharing this pivotal moment

389
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: in TV and civil rights history with the general public.

390
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: I look forward to new episodes and love learning ridiculous history. So,

391
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: you know, nice criticism, point well taken. But you know

392
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: she's not unsubscribing, so that's cool. So thank you very much,

393
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: Alison M. What a nice email. Thank you so much,

394
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: Alison in that was great. I'll take a ding all

395
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: day long, and I will cop to any mistake that

396
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: I make UH any day of the week, especially when

397
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: you are so courteous about it. And Alison. Thank you

398
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: for not sending the borg after us say I did

399
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: a star trek reference those guys with the with pancake

400
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: makeup on in the weird glowy terminator eyes. Oh they

401
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: were my favorite. Did you see when Picard got assimilated?

402
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: He got borged, he got borged up, he got bored son.

403
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: Our next email comes from Megan L. Megan says he

404
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: been and nol. I've been listening since the pilot episode

405
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: and really love the pod. Thanks for putting such a

406
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: whimsical spin on history. I also love those incredible tangents.

407
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: You guys go on. Oh boy, don't encourage us, I thought,

408
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: says Megan, I would share with you some ridiculous history

409
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: from here in the Green Mountains State. Almost fifty years ago,

410
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: there were plans and blueprints made to put a glass

411
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: dome over the town of Winoski, Vermont. That's w I

412
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: N O O s K. I forgive us if we

413
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: mispronounced there. I've linked some articles that get into the details,

414
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: but it was a crazy plan to combat rising oil prices,

415
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: the frigid northern temperatures, and also line some pockets with

416
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: poorly allocated government funding. Some people have heralded it as

417
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: an incredible innovation, and there was even the International Dome Symposium,

418
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: in which garnered attention and excitement worldwide. I teach preschool

419
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: here Winoski is currently participating in the Refugee Resettle program.

420
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful town, and I live in a neighboring town.

421
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: I've been picturing what would be like to drive into

422
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: a glass dome every day, and it's just absurd. It

423
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: really is a great story, and I thought it could

424
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: make for an interesting episode. Keep up the good work, Megan.

425
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: Does that not make you think of that Stephen King

426
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: under the Dome business? True? It also makes me think

427
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: of sort of the retro modern futuristic stuff that we

428
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: saw from the nineteen sixties, like work by Buckminster Fuller right,

429
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: or the ideas that were espoused by Walt Disney. Or

430
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: Biodome starring Poly Shore. Yes, yes, Biodome starring Polly Shore,

431
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: but really a show that was stolen by one of

432
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: the Baldwin brothers. Wasn't he in there? I think he was.

433
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: I think he was a stoner and pal um and

434
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: this wasn't weasing the juice that was in Sino Man right,

435
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: The juice. That's correct. Alright, we've got our own juices

436
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,959
Speaker 1: to wease. So we're gonna have to close up this

437
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: bag and head on out for the day, right, Thank

438
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: you so much, Megan l thank you, Allison in and

439
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: thank you for listening. If you would like to take

440
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: a page from our friends Alison and Megan, you can

441
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: find us on the internet. We're all over the place.

442
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: You know who i'd like to thank. I'd like to

443
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: thank you Ben wow Man, I'd like to thank you.

444
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: It's a love end. We should we should send each other,

445
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, just like nice motivational post. It's at our

446
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: desk every so offt well slide them to each other

447
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: under under the door. Let's say we don't have doors

448
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 1: open office plan. We could just get uh we could

449
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: get Frisbees and uh, you know, just draw cartoons and

450
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: then you know, throw them in the office. Surely that

451
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: won't be disruptive. I'm fine with that. Or maybe load

452
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: them into nerf guns. I don't know. We'll we'll, we'll,

453
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: we'll come back to the drawing board on that. But

454
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: if we're thanking people, we might as well go ahead

455
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: and thank our super producer, Casey Pegram Alex Williams, who

456
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: composed our theme, and Candice Gibson, who contributed once again

457
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: a fantastic article to Ridiculous Sisters and No, I have

458
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: to say this was a incredibly enjoyable episode. I'm sad

459
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,160
