It's contact 14 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: at Stuff to Blow your Mind dot com. Rob If 15 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: you don't mind, I'm going to start off with this 16 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: message from Lurch, which relates to several episodes. Yeah, Lurch 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: it up, Lurch says, good warning, gentlemen, allow me to 18 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: start by flogging a dead lamb, referring back to the 19 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: vegetable lamb of tartary. Wow, we have really been getting 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: some stragglers on this one. That's been going on for 21 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: months now. Yeah, this is not sometimes you can you 22 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: know an episode is going to generate a certain amount 23 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: of feedback. Some uh, some don't actually come through like 24 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: you expect they will, and something like the vegetable lamb 25 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: of Tartary just continue to pull in the listener contents, 26 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: which which I love. I love being surprised like that. 27 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: I think I've noticed a pattern that the definitely we 28 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: get the most email in response to any episode that 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: offers listeners a chance to tell us about their dreams, 30 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: not like their hopes and dreams, but their nighttime, sleepy dreams. Yeah. 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: I guess that's what y'all are like. Okay, anyway, Lurch 32 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: goes on to say, referring referring back to the vegetable 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: lamb of Tartary, I was struck by the apparent fact 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: I may be misremembering that the earliest references to the 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: lamb slash gourd were as food. Knowing how and thoughtful 36 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: humans are to strangers, it seems quite possible that a 37 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: traveler was once offered baked lamb in a gourd as 38 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: a feast provided by some host as a joke. Of 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: such things are history made? Well, that's that's an interesting 40 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: point I have had in the past, when I was 41 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: more of a meat eater, I did have meat in 42 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: a pumpkin ones, So such a dishes do exist. It's 43 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: been so long I forgot what the earliest accounts, where 44 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: was it, Sir John Mandeville? And didn't he but I 45 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: think he said like it it was a fully formed 46 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: little lamb. Yeah, you have these different versions of it, right, 47 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: complicated are the roots of the vegetable lamb of tartary? Okay, 48 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: Lurch goes on to say, I'm just glad it didn't 49 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: catch on. Speaking of cooking, let me now turn my 50 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: attention to cauldron's I'm positive I'm not the first to 51 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: float this hypothesis, so I'm rather surprised it wasn't given 52 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: at least a passing mention. In the episodes, several times 53 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: you guys mentioned that cauldrons have been found hidden deliberately 54 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: placed in relatively secure locations, such as bogs. I've never 55 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: thought of a bog as a secure location. But okay, yeah, 56 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: it's a solid investment. Always invest in bogs. Yes, yeah, 57 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: I can't lose, Lurch says. Relatively speaking, I'd suggest that 58 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: cauldrons were expensive back in the day, and of course 59 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: they're still pretty heavy. Uh yeah. Of course this goes 60 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: along with something we talked about in one of the 61 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: later Cauldron episodes about that paper, arguing that cauldron's had 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: social significance because they were sort of something that would 63 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: be used, probably not in preparing normal everyday meals, but 64 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: for preparing communal meals. So if you had a cauldron, 65 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: that was kind of like showing off your your wealth 66 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: and community significance and your power to uh to assert 67 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: social dominance by hosting feasts. But springboarding off the idea 68 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: that cauldrons are expensive, Lurch says, if a horde of 69 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: rampaging outsiders were threatening your home, but you couldn't flee 70 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: with your valuables, what would you do what everybody else 71 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: in that situation is done throughout history, Hide the good 72 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: china and the hope that it will still be there 73 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: when you return if you return. Of course, if you don't, 74 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: you still want to deny the good stuff to the 75 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: bad guys. Okay, so I think I understand Lurch is 76 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: suggesting that somebody may have just hidden a cauldron in 77 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: the bog for safe keeping, rather than intentionally depositing it 78 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: there as a sacrifice to the gods, as has often 79 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: been assumed. Yeah, it's an interesting hypothesis. It's my understanding 80 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: that the historians are are going on more than just 81 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: the finding of cauldrons in bogs. I mean, we have 82 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: other things that have been entered there, such as bodies 83 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: and so forth, that there there seems to be a 84 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: strong understanding that these were sacred places, that they were 85 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: maybe considered you a place between. Right, you might find 86 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: bodies in the bog that are not just anybody, but 87 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: somebody who looks pretty strongly like a case of human 88 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: sacrifice or something like that. Okay. Uh. Finally, Lurch said, 89 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: I turned my attention to weird house in particular Planet 90 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: of the Vampires, one of my all time favorite movies. 91 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: During your commentary, Joe mentioned that he loves a good uniform. 92 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: I think we both said that I quite agree. Let 93 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: me share my favorite, the uniforms of the Technocrats in 94 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: Things to Come. What puts these uniforms at the top 95 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: of the list is the absolutely over the top helmet. 96 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: In my opinion, these are the best cinematic uniforms ever made. 97 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: Robbi included some pictures for you to look at. We 98 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: can come back and uh and address these in a bit, 99 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: but just to finish lurches message. On a side note, 100 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: near the end of the movie is a set that 101 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: leaves me in stitches every time I watch. They're preparing 102 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 1: to use a huge gun to fire people into space 103 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: to the moon. Aside from the fact that this idea 104 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: cannot work, why is there a site on the end 105 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: of the barrel? Thank you for helping the miles go 106 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: by more quickly, lurch. Okay, so I guess we should 107 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: briefly introduce the idea of Things to Come. This this 108 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: movie from the thirties. I believe I talked about it 109 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: in the previous Listener mail episode that I did by 110 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: myself while you were out of town once. Yeah, yeah, 111 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: this is um this is one of those films. I've 112 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: never actually seen it, but I'm familiar with it, and 113 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: of course I've been admiring this space suit for for ages. 114 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: Things to Come n six widely regarded as a sci 115 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: fi classic, and what one that Michael Weldon actually had 116 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: of the psychotronic film Guides lists as one of his 117 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: top ten films of the nineteen thirties. This one's also 118 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: notable because H. G. Wells adapted his own novel for 119 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: the screen in this one, and I believe this is 120 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: the only time that he did this. Uh so, Yeah, 121 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: these space suits are pretty great. They have basically imagine 122 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: a traditional space suit, and there's a lot of same 123 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: noess in space suit designs and science fiction. Now imagine 124 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: one that has enough room for your head to grow 125 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: in size by what uh and the three sizes are more. 126 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: Or one that has enough room for the most outrageous 127 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: hairstyle imaginable. If you ever played Golden I for the 128 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: Nintendo sixty four and you use the cheat known as 129 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: d K mode, where it would turn all the characters 130 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: into Donkey Kong with giant heads and arms. This is 131 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: a space suit made for for DK mode people. Yeah, yeah, 132 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: it's but the thing is so yes, you can when 133 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: you describe it like this, it sounds ridiculous. It does 134 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: look a little ridiculous, but it also looks really cool 135 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: in a way that's hard to really drive home. Wine. 136 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: I think part of it is that it just does 137 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: look so different, and therefore it feels like a product 138 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: of a of a of a different age. Yeah, I agree. 139 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: I love a big, very sort of globular helmet like this. 140 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: You know, I always love the helmets in Alien, like 141 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: in the Alien franchise, because they're kind of oh, you know, 142 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: they're like a big glass ball on the front. Yeah, yeah, 143 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: those are those are solid helmets for sure. Now coming 144 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: back to what Lurch says, a out the space gun 145 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: that's gonna send people into orbit in the movie. Yeah, 146 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: I never noticed this before, but it is true. The 147 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: barrel of this giant guns, this is not something that 148 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: would be held by a human. It's like building sized. 149 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: It has an iron sight at the end of the barrel, 150 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: like somebody's going to be looking down it aim. Yeah, 151 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: I believe. Weldon also said in his summary of the 152 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: city that he thinks like it's it's one of those 153 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: films you can really only compare it to Metropolis, like 154 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: he in terms of the scope of it. And I 155 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: guess the end of the time period of science fiction involved. 156 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: All right. We also heard back from some folks on 157 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: our Vault episode about Numerouscy. This one comes to us 158 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: from Anna, Hello, Robert, Joe, and Steath. I enjoyed your 159 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: recent Vault episode on Numerousy and whether it is innate 160 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: or learned. I was wondering how this relates to time 161 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: as a small child, you conceptualized time differently, Like when 162 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: you were told you can play for fifteen minutes, that 163 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: doesn't really have much meaning. You just stopped playing when 164 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: your mom says it's dinner time. But you do have 165 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: an idea of time passing. Rob's story about his son 166 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: reminds me of something that happened to my niece, Mim. 167 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: She was staying with my parents, Granny and granddad. To 168 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,239 Speaker 1: her and my brother, her father had taken the opportunity 169 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: to go to the shops child free. Nim and Granny 170 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: were playing out front of the house. Mim asked when 171 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: will Daddy be home. Granny said, Daddy will be home soon, 172 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: and with the absolute confidence of a four year old, 173 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: Nim said, but it's soon. Now hard to argue with 174 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: that smiley face. I really enjoy all the content you 175 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: put out, and I love the way you presented. Keep 176 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: up the good work. That's great. And so the first 177 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: paragraph here about like being told you can play for 178 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes as a child and that not really having meaning, 179 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely squares with my memories of childhood, 180 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: where time being given time periods up to a certain 181 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: point was very mysterious to me, and at a certain point, 182 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: I re remember deciding, like when I was asking on 183 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: a car trip how much time was left. Essentially, if 184 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: I was told anything less than an hour, I knew 185 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: that we would be there immediately. It's like, oh, okay, 186 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: we're pretty much there. And anything more than an hour, 187 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: I knew it would be forever. Yeah, I mean, it's 188 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: a it's it's a it's a timeless question, especially for children. 189 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: How soon as soon? How soon is now? All right? 190 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: Here's another one about our numerous the episodes. This is 191 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: from Andrea. Andrea says, Hi, Robert and Joe, I've been 192 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: listening to the show for at least four years, but 193 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: I've never written in until now. Your vault episode discussing 194 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: whether animals have been number since reminded me of a 195 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: cat we had years ago who was both very very 196 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: smart and very very strange. When she was a kitten, 197 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: one of her favorite pastimes was to go to the basement, 198 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: pick up a strip of rag that we had torn 199 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: up for staking tomato plants, carry it up the stairs 200 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: in her mouth, deposited on the kitchen floor, then return 201 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: to the basement for the next one. If, however, to 202 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: mess with her we removed rag number six while she 203 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: was down getting number seven. She would notice immediately when 204 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: she returned to become very upset and search for it 205 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: while me owing accusingly at us. We surmised from this 206 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: that she could indeed count I'm open to other explanations though. 207 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Oh and then Andrea has some other comments about enjoying 208 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: listening to our show as as one drifts off to sleep. 209 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: But either way, yes, so we we we fully support 210 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: that usage as well. Um so so, Yeah, I think 211 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: this is an interesting story about the cat. Rob Have 212 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: you ever seen anything like this? Uh? No, but I 213 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: I absolutely have no reason to doubt that this cat 214 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: has a full range of numerousy. I mean, I can't 215 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: make any other hypothesis that could possibly explain this. This 216 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: cat has the maths. This cat will prove the Rimond conjecture. No, 217 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: I seriously though, I yeah, I don't even I really 218 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: don't even know what to make of this. I would, 219 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: I would seriously guess that the cat does not have 220 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: any kind of a number sense. Um, that there's some 221 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: other reason for one rag rather than the other rag, 222 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: but that it has nothing to do with the numbers 223 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: that are printed on there. Yeah, it's been a while 224 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: since we did the episode, so now I'm afraid it's 225 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: you know, we we talked about these things, and sometimes 226 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: they sort of partially leave my head, or sometimes more 227 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,599 Speaker 1: than partially. I think it was that, you know that. 228 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: I think the conclusion was that a lot of animals 229 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: seem to have maybe a sense of numerousy for a 230 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: few numbers, like like one to three or so, but 231 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: after that, differences get get kind of lost. Like you 232 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't expect a non human animal to tell the difference 233 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: between six and seven, does that quantity? Yeah, like here's 234 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: six cat treats, here's seven cat treats. Um. Yeah, my 235 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: if my memory is correct on this, yeah, it means 236 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: that the cat probably can't tell the difference between those 237 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: quantities where it could tell the difference between say two 238 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: and seven, and in terms of the numbers six and seven, 239 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: absolutely not, unless I mean, they would have to be 240 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: some other factors involved, something sent related or I don't 241 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: even know if the sound related. It could be possible, 242 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: I guess if there was something attached to the uh 243 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: to to the strips um. Yeah, I don't know. There 244 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: have to be some other elements in play here. The 245 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: closest studn seed to that is my dog knows that 246 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: he gets too dog treats after dinner, and if he 247 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: just gets one, he knows that he has owed another 248 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: one he doesn't forget. But I don't know if he 249 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: were to get seven after dinner, he might just lose track. Yeah, well, 250 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to test tonight. It's um, it's seven treats, 251 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: and then keep that up for a little bit and 252 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: then bring him down to six and see if he complains. 253 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: All right, you want to do some of these messages 254 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: about sky bridges. Yeah, this is one where I knew 255 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: we would to hear from from folks on these, and 256 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: I was not disappointed. This one comes to us from Jeff. 257 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: Jeff says, Hi, Robert and Joe. I just finished listening 258 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: through the first and second episode on sky bridges, and 259 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: I've got a few thoughts. I grew up and currently 260 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, which regularly gets colder than negative 261 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: forty degrees celsius for days or weeks at a time 262 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: during the winter, and often gets warmer than thirty degrees 263 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: celsius in the summertime. As a result, our entire downtown 264 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: is basically connected by various sky bridges, underground tunnels, and 265 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: covered arcades, making quite simple to get from a person's 266 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: house then to work, and including a chance to walk 267 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: around underground tunnels to do some additional shopping on your 268 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: lunch break in the underground mall. I lived in a 269 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: high rise for a few years, and navigating indoors to 270 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: get to concerts, restaurants, and even my grocery shopping was 271 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: quite simple if I wanted to avoid it the elements. 272 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: I also used to work at the University of Manitoba, 273 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: which is almost entirely connected by underground tunnels, so that 274 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: in the extreme cold, it is easy for students and 275 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: staff to get from building to building. A benefit to 276 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: having this protected connectivity that often goes overlooked is the 277 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: increased accessibility for people with mobility concerns, especially in a 278 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: city like Winnipeg that gets tremendous snow when ice builds 279 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: up throughout the year, and navigating with assistance devices and 280 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: bulky clothes can be quite difficult and cumbersome. I could 281 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: talk about the subject for hours, so I will end 282 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: it there, but I appreciate what you do. Keep up 283 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: the good work. Jeff Great points Jeff. Yeah, yeah, but 284 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: first on you know, a cold city or a city 285 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: that is often cold, and then the mobility issues that's 286 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: that's that's a big concern. Along the same lines with 287 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: the with the relationship between skybridge density and weather, we 288 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: got a message from Kenya. Kenya says, hello, I'm surprised 289 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: you focus so much on Atlanta instead of Minneapolis or St. Paul, 290 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: which have intricate mazes of skywalks connecting a good number 291 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: of buildings downtown. I went to St. Paul and a 292 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: work trip in the dead of winter. Our team stayed 293 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: at a hotel that wasn't on the Skyway, while the 294 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: client team stayed in a hotel that was connected to 295 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: the Skyway. I remember them showing up without their coats 296 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: while we were freezing. They forgot to tell us about 297 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: this on subsequent days. Walking to the work site from 298 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: our hotel, we walked to the closest building on the 299 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: Skyway and snaked our way through buildings to get to work. 300 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: Food convenience stores, a post office, and everything you could 301 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: need were in that maze. I would also love for 302 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: you guys to talk about underground tunnels that work the 303 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: way that skywalks do. At at one point in the 304 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: Crystal City part of Arlington, Virginia, there was no foot traffic. 305 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: Everything was underground. The Crystal City Underground isn't what it 306 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: used to be. At one time it had an arcade 307 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: in a movie theater. Now it just contained some lunch 308 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: spots in a theater while connecting several buildings to the 309 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: metro station. I've always thought it dark and day, but 310 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: it's a similar concept, just without sunlight. Toronto has a 311 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: similar underground tunnel system. Your show is always a good listen, Kenya, Well, 312 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: thank you, Kenya. Um Well, it's the first on the 313 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: Atlanta point. I mean, first of all, we are in Atlanta, 314 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: so it is kind of what's kind of neat to 315 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: focus a little bit on our home city here. But 316 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: also I found that some of the social elements in 317 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: play and some of the social criticism of of of 318 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: sky bridges in these in some of these connected walkways, 319 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: they're a little more pronounced here in Atlanta versus a 320 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: city that has extreme cold weather going on. But still 321 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm very much enjoying these examples that are coming to 322 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: us from northern cities. And as for tunnels, so I 323 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: mean don't don't tempt us. Uh, we'd we'd love to 324 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: do some episodes on tunnels in the future. I'm always 325 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: fascinated by subterranean passageways um for humans, for for trains 326 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: full of humans, for non human entities as well. So yeah, 327 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: that I think we could we could easily explore that 328 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: in the future. I I rob, I would say, you 329 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: have chronic tunnel bug in the brain. You you are 330 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: will never pass up a chance to talk about tunnels. 331 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: I'd I love a tunnel, and we have a feeling, 332 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: we have a we have some. We have some tunnels 333 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: here in Atlanta, though we're not nearly as underground a 334 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: city as as as many others. I mean, so's the 335 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: best examples are certainly far from here. But even then, 336 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: I love I love it when I'm in like a 337 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: train tunnel here in Atlanta on our Marta system. Alright, 338 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: one last message about sky bridges. This is from Pat. 339 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: Pat says, very interesting episodes, Thanks ever so much. I 340 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: was reminded of a not so spectacular example in Brooklyn. 341 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: When I was a boy, I loved visiting the Abraham 342 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: Strausse department store on Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn. The 343 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: development and history of department stores is a cool subject. 344 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: This wonderful old store had many departments and an annex 345 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: building with availability of products not found in other department 346 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: stores in the sixties. At this one story, you could 347 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 1: buy quote underdrawers and I'm not sure I understand the 348 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: the accent being portrayed in this uh in this quote 349 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: underdrawers and the machine to wash them in One reached 350 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: the annex through a sky bridge. I loved this entrance 351 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: and I never missed the opportunity. You talked briefly about 352 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: roofs over cities. I read long ago about an idea 353 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: about creating a second level in Manhattan. The lower level 354 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: would be traffic only, the upper level would be pedestrian only. Sure, 355 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: there would be a dark underground, but this is not 356 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: a living space. It's a way of securing pedestrians from 357 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: the perils of vehicular traffic. Do keep up the fun work, 358 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: pat Well. That last point is very much in keeping 359 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: with some of the you know, the reasons behind creating 360 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: the sky bridges. Yeah, and and some of these sort 361 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: of fantas aastic architectural solutions like let's get the people 362 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: away from the from the vehicular traffic. Well, let's create 363 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 1: a safe barrier between the two. By the way, speaking 364 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: of Brooklyn, UM, I know I've mentioned this on the 365 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: show before, but if anyone out there, if you find 366 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: yourself in New York in Brooklyn as a tourist, or 367 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: maybe you just live there and you haven't checked this 368 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: out for yourself, the New York Transit Museum is excellent. Uh. 369 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: It is in an old um subway station, and so 370 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: you get to check out these examples of older cars 371 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: with the older style advertisements on them on the train 372 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: tracks themselves in an actual subway station. All right, And 373 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: here's one more, and uh, this is I guess this is. 374 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: This is not really a direct response to a Weird 375 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: House so much, but it's kind of in keeping with 376 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: the stuff we talked about on Weird House. Uh, this 377 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: is a response to recent discussions of local TV horror hosts. 378 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: And uh, who does this? Who's this coming out? We're 379 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: not I was trying to I'm not sure what name 380 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: this guy wanted us to use, so we'll skip the name. 381 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: I guess. Okay, from somebody here comes some listener mail. 382 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: All I grew up on Sanny Terry hosting horror films 383 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: in the seventies and some of the eighties. The picks 384 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: on the wiki page don't do him justice. So I 385 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: have attached a picture for your viewing pleasure, enjoying the 386 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: show and encouraging you to keep up the good work. Uh, 387 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: and there's uh you know what we have what we 388 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: have your Joe, We have some pictures of Samuel Terry 389 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: and we were you shared some video footage with me earlier. Well, 390 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: so this picture is a screen grab I took that. 391 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: This listener attached some other links in the in the email. 392 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: But Sammy Terry, if you're not getting it yet, that's 393 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: a that is a pun name, like cemetery. But when 394 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I'm not familiar. Sammy Terry was 395 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: an Indianapolis area local TV horror host. You can look 396 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: up it's there's clips of him on YouTube. The one 397 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: I watched was an intro to some movie. I don't 398 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: know what movie he was going into, but he gave 399 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: the most bizarre monologue about how, um, let's see like 400 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: you could be running from a madman, and then while 401 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: you're running from the madman, perhaps you get abducted by aliens, 402 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: and then you finally make it home safe, only to 403 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: discover that your tap water has been poisoned by a 404 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: like brain eating virus. And uh so strap in for 405 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: the movie. Uh and when it introduces Sam Sammy Terry, 406 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: he gets out of a coffin, he stands up, he's 407 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: got he's got sort of a Frankenstein face makeup, he's 408 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: kind of green. Uh and he's got a big red 409 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: cape with a hood. And it introduces him with a 410 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: local news style chiron like a name tag at the 411 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: bottom of the screen, except it doesn't do the punt. 412 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: It calls him Samuel Terry, and then under that it 413 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: says Google, I guess as his occupation. Yeah, I don't 414 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: think I've seen footage of this guy before, but I 415 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: like the stick. I think he had a good thing 416 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: going here. He also had a pet, rubber spider named 417 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: George Nice. Yeah, it seems like the main things you 418 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: need needed for one of these uh these these daytime 419 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 1: horror host gigs, was you need a little bit of makeup, 420 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: a few props, you know, maybe you have you know, 421 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: some sort of a coffin and the shot get one 422 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: from the local funeral home. But then mostly you just 423 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: need to have a lot of enthusiasm to ham it 424 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: up in front of the camera and talk well, in 425 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: this example, about basically anything in order to set up 426 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: the motion picture. I would say that, at least in 427 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: the one clip I watched, Sammy Terry seemed less oriented 428 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: around puns and jokes than someone like Elvira or the 429 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: crypt Keeper, who they were just like chock full of 430 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: densely packed comedy about the movies. If I recall, Sammy 431 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: Terry seemed more like a sort of campy Hammy direct 432 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: to monologue about monsters and frights. I mean, maybe he 433 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: wasn't actual Ghoul. That's the thing we're doubting the authenticity 434 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: of the character. This is he's he's risen from the 435 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: tomb here and he's here to talk about tomb stuff. 436 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: He didn't even know there's a movie coming. I didn't 437 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: mean to disrespect his life's work. Google things are important. Well, 438 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: this was great. If anybody out there has any other 439 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: examples of local TV horrows, I'd certainly love to to 440 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: hear about them. Like I said, there there's so many 441 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: of them, um, each one with their own kind of 442 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: regional flare. I saw one very heartwarming YouTube comment that's 443 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: not a common phrase. Uh, where the whoever it was 444 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: was just like I remember every Friday night it was, 445 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, some particular local pizza delivery place in Sammy Terry. 446 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: Ah see that was That was event television. That's what 447 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: they call it now. Yeah, all right, no, no, they 448 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: don't call it event television. Appointment television.
