How some strange toys became serious business. Now, 16 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is, in some cases throughout history, 17 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: something created as a toy ends up serving a very serious, 18 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: unexpected purpose. And then sometimes something created for a serious problem, 19 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: a tool or something like that, it ends up becoming 20 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: much more successful as a toy I've always been intrigued 21 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: by toys because, in my opinion, the best toys throughout 22 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: history have been the weirdest ones. And there are always 23 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: some great stories about how things become toys and how 24 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: toys get used in odd ways. And so I'm going 25 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: to tell you about some of my favorite stories regarding that. 26 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I, even though I'm almost fifty years old, 27 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: I still will go into a toy store if I 28 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: have the opportunity, and these days, I must be honest 29 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: with you, most of the time, when I go in 30 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: most of the toy stores, I'm disappointed. And that's because that, frankly, 31 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: a lot of what you find these days is a 32 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: bunch of really cheap, homogenized stuff. It doesn't seem very 33 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: creative to me. Everything has to attach to your to 34 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: a phone app and a lot of the stuff in 35 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: these stores is just collectibles. And I'm fine with that. 36 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I love collectibles. I have plenty of myself, but to me, 37 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: that's not the same as toys. I think a toy 38 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: store should should mainly consist of things you can interact 39 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: with kinetically, as opposed to just figures in there. And 40 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: then there are some popular like collectible figures these days 41 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: out there that I just don't care for at all. 42 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: But look, I'm not gonna sit here and bad mouth 43 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: toy stores as a fifty year old man. What I 44 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: am going to explain, though, is I tend to like 45 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: some of the older, simpler, but I think more creative toys, 46 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: maybe stuff that kids played with the eighteen hundreds or something, 47 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: or the or you know, the early nineteen hundred. I 48 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: mean that kind of thing. I was in a toy 49 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: store the other day, and by the way, okay, like 50 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: there are these stores that you'll you'll, if you're lucky, 51 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: you can be in some town, maybe in a rural 52 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: area out in the mountains, and you might find some 53 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: independently owned toy store and you'll find some good, old fashioned, 54 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: traditional things. I was in a store recently and I 55 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: found some game and basically it's something like a wooden 56 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: tube and it came with the styrofoam ball. And so 57 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: what you do is blow on the tube and the 58 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: ball it's sitting on top of a hole. And when 59 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: you blow on the tube, the ball hovers magically in 60 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: the air. It just holds its place there. And so 61 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: if you're playing with this by yourself. Well, you know, 62 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: you can see how high you can get this ball 63 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: without losing control of it, or you can just see 64 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: how long you can keep it floating. You can of 65 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: course challenge other people and make a game out of 66 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: it that way. Now, look, I know that sounds really 67 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: really boring, and it makes me sound like I'm probably 68 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: a lot older than I even am. But I mean 69 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: I like little goofy things like that that are they 70 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: look unusual, they do something that's interactive, they're simple, and 71 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: I can just sit in my living room and and 72 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: mindlessly play with it. And you don't find a lot 73 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: of stuff like that these days, but you know, there 74 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: are people who are trying to bring back that kind 75 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: of thing. For example, you may or may not know 76 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: that my father, Danny Warren, is a professional wood carver, 77 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: and he also does other things. You know, he writes 78 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: some books from time to time. He recently wrote a 79 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: book about them around Mountain Lights, and he has a 80 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: book out called Ridge Hoppers. But he is best known 81 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: for carving, hand carving these classic Appalachian walking sticks, and 82 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: they are famous. Actually. I've been to some high end 83 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: shops in western North Carolina where you know there's a 84 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: premium price on some of these walking sticks. But he 85 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: has recently started making a toy that I guess nobody 86 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: else really makes anymore. The tradition kind of fell out, 87 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: but boy, there's a booming demand for it. He makes 88 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: these things called g hal wimy diddles. You know what 89 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: a wimy diddle is? I bet most of you don't. 90 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: Let me try to explain this, okay, So basically, so 91 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: this is a traditional Appalachian folk toy and it's made 92 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: from two small sticks. I think they say often mountain 93 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: laurel or a rhododendron. And basically, okay, one of the sticks, 94 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: Let's say you have one stick in your left hand. 95 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: That stick has some notches carved into it, and then 96 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: on the end of that stick is a little propeller, 97 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: like a little wooden airplane propeller. And what happens is 98 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 1: if you take the other stick, which is just smooth, 99 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: and let's say you put it in your right hand, 100 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: and then you stroke it back and forth, you slide 101 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: it over those notches. If you get the vibration just right, 102 00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: then you can get that propeller to start spinning. And 103 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: some people have a hard time even getting it to spin. 104 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: I'm a natural at that. But here's where it gets 105 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: really tricky. Once you get that down pat then you 106 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: can sort of sort of adjust your hands and the 107 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: pressure you use to either make the propellers spin clockwise 108 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: or counterclockwise. You can make it switch directions. That's why 109 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: it's called a g hall wimy diddle. As a matter 110 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: of fact, G like back in the day when farmers 111 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: would plow fields with their mules, they would say G 112 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: and that would tell the mule to go to the right, 113 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: and they would say haw and that was to the left. 114 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: And so they call these things a g hall wimy diddle. 115 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: And you know, I actually looked it up. I was like, 116 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: where did that come from? And all I could find 117 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: is that it says G and hall are traditional voice 118 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: commands used for steering oxen horses and mules, originating from 119 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: seventeenth cent English farming and logging to guide draft animals 120 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: while the driver operated equipment behind them. But I didn't 121 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: find anything particular about like YG or hall. But anyway, 122 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: so this is like it's a simple little toy, but 123 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: it's actually difficult to craft and it's really fun to 124 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: play with if you want to see a video of 125 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: me actually using one of my dad's wimmy diddles Gehull 126 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: Wimmy Diddles, Go to Ridgehoppers dot com. That's my dad's website, 127 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: and I recently put a video up there of me 128 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: playing with one of these, and you can see what 129 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: I mean. Well, anyway, I tell you all that because again, 130 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: I like kind of old fashioned toys, and what I've 131 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: found is that sometimes these toys end up having very 132 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: surprising uses. For example, when the United States was in 133 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: the Iraq War and you had soldiers constantly going into 134 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: buildings one by one and clearing them out, one of 135 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: the biggest problems they encountered was these trip wires, little 136 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: wires attached to explosives, could be a grenade or something 137 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: like that. And you know, you hear you are a 138 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: lot of times in the dark, you got all this 139 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: gear on. These guys would walk through a doorway and 140 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: they'd hit one of these wires and kaboom. This would 141 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: happened all the time, and they couldn't figure out the 142 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: best way to detect these trip wires. So all these 143 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: military men they got together with all these scientists and 144 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: they started brainstorming and trying to figure out what to do, 145 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: and they finally realized that the simplest solution was to 146 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: have every soldier carry a little can of silly string. 147 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: Now silly string, you know, it's this little aerosol can. 148 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: Surely you all, I mean people listen to the show 149 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: all over the world, so maybe it's called different things 150 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: at different places, but it's like a little can aerosol 151 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: kind of can, and you push the button and it 152 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: squirts out this big, long, lightweight plastic string. And these 153 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: things are used all the time for parties, weddings, birthday parties, carnivals. 154 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: And the soldiers found that when they would take out 155 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: the silly string and squirt it around a room, that 156 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: if if there was a trip wire, then that silly 157 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: string would land on hang off of that trip wire 158 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: without setting it off. And that silly string saved so 159 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: many lives. Isn't that amazing to think that something that 160 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: simple could do that? And they say that this was 161 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: invented originally because the people, I guess was invented in 162 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two. The main guy was a chemist named 163 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: Robert P. Cox. He wanted to create some kind of 164 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: a substance that could be shot out of an aerosol 165 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: can that you could spray on a broken or spraying 166 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: leg or arm and use as an instant cast. And 167 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: the invention eventually worked. But they had to test all 168 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: kinds of different stuff, and one of them ended up 169 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: being what we now know is silly String. I'll tell 170 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: you something else funny about how silly string moved from 171 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: something serious to a toy to something serious, and then 172 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: well there's much more where that comes from. The next 173 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna tell you about is something that was 174 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: a toy that was used in the Vietnam War that 175 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: probably saved a lot of lives as well.

Beat me into 195 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: your wormhole brain from my studio in sen City, Las Vegas, Nevada, 196 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver. 197 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: I'd zetato zume the guys who invented what became silly 198 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: String in nineteen seventy two. The one was named last 199 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: named Fish, the other cocks and once they realized they 200 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: may have had a potential toy on their hands, well, 201 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: they didn't know how to sell toys, but they made 202 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: an appointment with the Whammo Toy Company. I bet those 203 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: are hard to come by, And one of the guys 204 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: said that during that meeting, During that meeting, he pulls 205 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: out a can of this stuff and he just squirts 206 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: it all over the person at Whammo and all over 207 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: the office. And the person at Whammo did not like that, 208 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: became very upset and told him to lead. That was 209 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: probably not a good sales strategy. But guess what. One 210 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: day later, Fish, the guy named Fish, he received a 211 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: telegram asking him to send twenty four cans of this 212 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: stuff for a market test immediately, and it was signed 213 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: by the same person who had kicked him out at Wammo. 214 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: And they got on the phone and talked, and apparently 215 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: it turned out that after this guy at Whamo had 216 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: finished cleaning up his office, apparently he had missed some 217 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: of this, and the two owners of Whammo had come 218 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: to talk to him, and one noticed a piece of 219 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: the silly string on a lamp shade that the guy 220 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: had overlooked and said, what is this And after he 221 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: explained it to them, they said, uh, huh okay, And 222 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: so guess what. Two weeks later they had signed this 223 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: contract and the rest is history. Interesting huh okay? How 224 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: about this one? As I think we all know, the 225 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: Vietnam War was an absolute mess. The United States was 226 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: drafting young men and sending them over to the Jungles, 227 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: some of the most treacherous land out there, full of threats, 228 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: very difficult to see each other, very difficult to communicate. Obviously, 229 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: communication is important in any type of war, but especially 230 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: in that case where I mean everything was just covered 231 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: vegetation and everybody was wasted deep in water half the time. 232 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it was just really it was really important 233 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: to have good antennas for your radios, but that those 234 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: guys were way down to all kinds of bulky equipment, 235 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: and the antennas on the radios, the typical traditional antennas, 236 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: they didn't work very well. They were getting broken all 237 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: the time, they were getting lost. Sometimes if you'd pop 238 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: an antenna up, well, the enemy would see it and 239 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: that would show you exactly where you were, so you 240 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: could get targeted. And they were like, we need a 241 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: better solution. So they got engineers working on this. How 242 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: can we get an improved antenna And they found out 243 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: that there happens to be a coiled antenna out there 244 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: that resonates between seven and eight megahertz, called a slinky. Yes, 245 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: they started realizing that they could carry slinkies metal slinkies 246 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: around and use these as portable antennas for local HF communication. 247 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: And I mean it was actually very good, and it 248 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: was used to extend the ranges of handheld radios. You 249 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: could take a slinky, you could stretch it all over 250 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: the place, toss it up in the trees and bushes 251 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: and get it. They use slinkies to solve this problem. 252 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: The slinky was created by a naval engineer in nineteen 253 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: forty three. You know, it's kind of funny because he 254 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: was just messing around with springs that could be used 255 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: for the navy, and he created one spring and he 256 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: said he noticed it, quote stepping downwards after it was 257 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: accidentally knocked off a shelf and then coming to rest 258 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: in a vertical position. And his wife said later that 259 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: he came home and said, I think if I got 260 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: this just right, the right kind of steel intention, I 261 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: think I could almost make this thing walk. So for 262 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: a year he experimented with different types of steel wire 263 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: and finally got one that would walk. And so they 264 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: started manufacturing these things to sell, and nobody wanted them. 265 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it was just a very very difficult sell 266 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: for some reason. But they worked their magic and they 267 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: got a deal to put an inclined plane a ramp 268 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: of some kind in a toy section at Gimbal's department 269 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: store in Philadelphia where they could actually demonstrate it. And 270 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: they demonstrated this thing on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It 271 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: was an instant hit. The first four hundred units were 272 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: sold in ninety minutes, and then after that it was 273 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: introduced to the toy fair and so but who knew that? 274 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: A guy? Again? You know, it's funny because like with 275 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: a silly string, a guy was trying to do something 276 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: serious for cast for broken bones, and it turned into 277 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: a toy, and then it got used as something serious 278 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: to locate trip wires in war. And this is a 279 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: case of a naval guy who's trying to create some 280 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: kind of a spring that would have some some role 281 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: to play in the navy stuff. It ends up becoming 282 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: a toy, but then later also gets used as an 283 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: antenna in Vietnam. You see, like why these stories are 284 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: strange and why they fascinate me. And I won't spend 285 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: that much time talking about each one of these. It's like, 286 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: for example, at nineteen seventy four, there was a company 287 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: in Japan and somebody there was some kind of a 288 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: policy about trying to create clean room environments, especially classrooms, 289 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: because apparently, I don't know, the Japanese are very particular 290 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: about things. They were concerned that a classroom was going 291 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: to be contaminated with too much dust from chalks, from chalkboards, 292 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: you know, And so they said, we need to create 293 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: a sterile, clean room environment. And so they started working 294 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: on this magnetic board where you could you could draw 295 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: using a stylus on a magnetic board and it would 296 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: create an image and then you could wipe it clean 297 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: by sliding a magnet and start all over again. We 298 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: know it as the Magna Doodle magnetic drawing toy. And 299 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: they said, you know, over forty million of these have 300 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: been sold. And so this started with a need to 301 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: solve what they believed was a serious problem. They didn't 302 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: want chalk contaminating the air in the chalk in the classroom, 303 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: all right. So how about this one. During World War Two, 304 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: Japan started invading rubber producing countries as it expanded its 305 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: sphere of influence. Going back to Japan again here, and 306 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, obviously everybody wanted rubber because it was vital 307 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: for the production of rafts, tires, various parts for vehicles, aircraft, 308 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: gas masks, boots. In the US, all rubber products were rationed. 309 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: Citizens were encouraged to make their rubber products last until 310 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: the end of the war and to donate spare time 311 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: and boots and coats. The US government was spending lots 312 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: of money funding research into synthetic rubber compounds to try 313 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: to solve this shortage, and they contacted a variety of 314 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,479 Speaker 1: companies and guess what, some scientists got together. They started 315 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: mixing up things and they discovered what we now know 316 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: as this weird gooey doe thing called silly putty. And 317 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: they found that it had some unique properties that even 318 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: though it was gooey, that you could also bounce it. 319 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: It could stretch farther than regular rubber, it would not 320 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: go moldy, had a very high melting temperature, but it 321 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: didn't have all the properties needed to replace rubber. So 322 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: everybody knew they had something weird here, but they it's 323 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: something that you know, was possibly useful, but they didn't 324 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: know what to do with it. And so, guess what. 325 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: You can imagine, somebody at a toy store came across 326 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: this putty and well, they said, this is fun to 327 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: play with, and now we have silly putty, direct product 328 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: of World War two. Also, you know, before World War two, 329 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: a lot of people were using coal fire in their 330 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: homes for heat and cooking and whatnot. That was quite 331 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: common to use coal. But the problem is that coal 332 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: would often produce this nasty kind of residue on your 333 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: walls and your wallpaper. And so there was a guy 334 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: out there who made soap, and he was selling soap 335 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: to Kroger Grocery and somebody at Kroger said, we need 336 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: to come up with something that will clean They'll easily 337 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: clean this residue off of walls and wallpaper without causing 338 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: any kind of other part mite damage. And they asked 339 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: him if he could figure out how to do that, 340 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: and so he ended up doing a lot of research 341 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: and he came up with this gooey, little pliable putty 342 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: and it was actually perfect. You could take this little putty, 343 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: it wouldn't really stick to anything permanently. You could put 344 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: it on the wall and you could clean that right off. 345 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: But after World War Two, the demand for wallpaper cleaning 346 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: putty shrank because natural gas started becoming popular. So he 347 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: said I got to figure out what to do with this. Well, 348 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: it turns out there was a teacher who was using 349 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: this putty to do some artwork with her kids, and 350 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: he heard about it and how much the kids liked it. 351 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: We got to take a break. When we come back, 352 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: what do you think this product is? I bet you know? 353 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: And then I'm going to tell you about well some 354 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: more stories like this. I'm Joshua Whipe Warren. You're listening 355 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast 356 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I'll be back after these 357 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeart 358 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm 359 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: your host, Joshua P. Warren, and this is the show 360 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: where the unusual becomes usual. So what do you think 361 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: I was talking about before the break? Yes, it became Plato. 362 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: And you know, it's all kind of thanks to the 363 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: fact that this teacher apparently saw the potential and taking 364 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:31,239 Speaker 1: this old wall paper cleaner and having the kids, you know, 365 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: make creative things with it. And as soon as the 366 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: Adventure of Plato realized that, then he started promoting it. 367 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: And now we have Plato, how about this one. In 368 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: the late nineteen seventies and early nineteen eighties, the United 369 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: States Army was looking for new efficient ways to train 370 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: and do simulations of close quarter combat, you know, role 371 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: play kind of things that would be safe but also 372 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: efficient without wasting a bunch of ammo. And but you know, 373 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: safety was I guess of paramount concern. So they got 374 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: all their scientists together and said, you know, come up 375 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: with some ideas, and they created something that was at 376 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: first called the MILES system m I l e S. 377 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: That stands for multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System. And basically, 378 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: the soldiers would carry guns that would have a little 379 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: basically like a laser pointer on them, but they would 380 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: also have little sensors scattered over their bodies, and those 381 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: sensors would detect when the soldier had been illuminated by 382 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: a firearms laser. So every time somebody fired his laser 383 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: gun and it hit a censor on another soldier, well 384 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: then a medic could go and look and see, you know, 385 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: what area was hit, what kind of first aid would 386 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: be necessary, et cetera. They came out with different versions 387 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: of this. Early on. It was pretty rough because it 388 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: didn't really like keep long term track of things, and 389 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: it didn't really like cut off. For example, like you 390 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 1: might have been hit, but you didn't know it, and 391 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: so you could continue firing your laser, which wouldn't happen 392 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: in real life anyway. This became very popular and other 393 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: armed forces around the world started training with these until finally, 394 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,239 Speaker 1: guess what, somebody said this, this could be actually a 395 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: really interesting type of game, and they say that. In 396 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, a toy came out that was called 397 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: the Star Trek Electronic Phaser electronic phaser gun, and they 398 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: released it to a company the release of Star Trek 399 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: the motion picture, and it was so popular that this 400 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: continued to develop until finally it became what we now 401 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: know as laser tag. Yes, laser tag, and these stories 402 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: they go on and on as a matter of fact, 403 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: and you see how offer the military is involved. It's like, 404 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: for example, in around nineteen eighty two, there was a 405 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: NASA engineer named Lonnie Johnson, and he was trying to 406 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: invent some kind of an environmentally friendly heat pump and 407 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: cooling system. He was in his bathroom at his house 408 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: messing around with pumping up high pressure water and squirting 409 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: it around the bathroom, and then he took it out 410 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: into his yard and was playing around with it, and 411 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: he realized he created a pretty powerful water gun, and 412 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: then that became what we now know is the super Soaker. 413 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: So this started with a NASA guy trying to work 414 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: on some kind of a heat pump or cooling system, 415 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: presumably for spacecraft. These are just great stories, and that's why, 416 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, I say that this this show, this particular 417 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: show is called How some Strange Toys Became Serious Business 418 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: or vice versa. But you know, it's funny because when 419 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: I read this stuff and again, I kind of reflect 420 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: upon some of the things that I grew up with 421 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,479 Speaker 1: as toys. And I'm not going to bore you with 422 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: stories of my toys, but here's something that's kind of 423 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: funny that I thought. This shocked me when I found 424 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: this out the other day, and it's really really weird 425 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: and deep and profound if you think about it. So, Okay, 426 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: I was born in nineteen seventy six, and I remember 427 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: like one of the most fun things back then was 428 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: to go to the grocery store. And where I grew 429 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: up in Ashville, North Carolina, the big grocery store is 430 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: called Ingles, and I go to the grocery store and 431 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: see what new goodies were in the vending machines, and 432 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: then of course see if I could convince my mom 433 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: or somebody to give me the money to It's so 434 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: I remember at one point I was in Ingles and 435 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: I walked over to the machine, and back then it 436 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: was like youugs did not know what you're gonna get. 437 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: Nowadays again it's like, I'm disappointed. I still buy some 438 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: of the crap out of these vending machines nowadays, but 439 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: it's always boring. It's like, oh, you get a sticker 440 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: or you get some eraser basically that looks like some 441 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: Pokemon care. They had a vending machine and you could 442 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: buy one glittery kind of like a milar glove, and 443 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: it was called the Michael Jackson glove. So I'm sure 444 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: if you're old enough, you remember that Michael Jackson was 445 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: famous for wearing often wearing a single white sequin glove 446 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: and everybody thought he looked so cool. And next thing, 447 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: a knew kids running around wearing like a glove on 448 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: one hand, one shiny glove. Turns out they say that 449 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: he actually was doing that to conceal the early stages 450 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: of videligo, which is the skin condition which causes loss 451 00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: of pigmentation, and it began on his hand and early 452 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. But he was very innovative so that he 453 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: turned that glove into a fashion statement. The next thing, 454 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: you know, there's kids like me buying this thing for 455 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: a quarter of fifty cents at the grocery store. And 456 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, you'd see kids wearing this mile arc glove 457 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: on one handed school. But what's what's interesting, though, is 458 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: the other day I was I was watching some documentary 459 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: or I saw something about Michael Jackson, and you know 460 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: his life, and you know Michael Jackson. One of the 461 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: things that was big in the news is that he 462 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: was filming a Pepsi commercial on January twenty seventh of 463 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, and they were using some kind of 464 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: like pyrotechnics for this commercial and at some point his 465 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: hair caught on fire. I think I don't remember all 466 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: the details. I think he was walking down some steps 467 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: or something and they were setting off some some pirotechnics 468 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: behind him, and apparently there was something flammable in his hair, 469 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: and I mean it was a pretty serious incident, you know. 470 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he got some very serious burns from that. 471 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: I believe he was so determined to finish the commercial though, 472 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: that he just kind of kept going after that, and 473 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 1: the Leaves got that done before they took him into 474 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: the hospital and treated his scalp. But that was really 475 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: big in the news when that happened. And the thing 476 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: that I found remarkable is that it turns out that 477 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: that day, when that significant event happened in his life, 478 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: January twenty seventh, nineteen eighty four, amazingly, right down to 479 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: the day, was the exact midpoint of his life. He 480 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: was twenty five years, four months and twenty nine days 481 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: old at the time of that accident, and he passed 482 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: away exactly twenty five years, four months, and twenty nine 483 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 1: days later on June twenty fifth of two thousand and nine. Now, look, 484 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: when I see stuff like that, it just reinforces to 485 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: me this idea that there is some kind of design 486 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: in the universe. There are cycles that you go through, 487 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: and there are moments where things are just destined to happen. 488 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do about it. I mean, we 489 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: have a lot more choice and a lot more free 490 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: will than we think we do. But there are some 491 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: things that I believe are just meant to happen. They 492 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: have to happen at a certain time, under certain circumstances 493 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: in order to shape the outcome of who you are 494 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: and how you affect the world. Isn't that crazy? Do 495 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: you find that as crazy as I do? Tell you 496 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: something else that was kind of funny. Also, I remember, uh, 497 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, right next to Ingles, there 498 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: was a right aid and you could go into the 499 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 1: right aid and you could I bought a uh that's 500 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: a little kid, cheap little kid. It was a It 501 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: was a Rambo play set. Yeah, you know Rambo, Sylvester 502 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: Stallone's character. It was a little Rambo playset, and I 503 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: guess Rambo two had had recently come out because it 504 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: had the little necklace in it that he wore in 505 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: Rambo two. And then it also had the like headband 506 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: thing that Rambo wears. And then it also had a 507 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: plastic survival knife. And so I wonder if you can find, 508 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: I bet somebody out there, I should get on eBay 509 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: and see if you have an eye opened Rambo playkit 510 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: from the nineteen eighties. How much does that worth? Anyway, Look, 511 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 1: we're up on a break. When we come back, guess 512 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: what Popular Mechanics has said. They just released that there 513 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 1: is new information from scientists about consciousness. WHOA How often 514 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,879 Speaker 1: does that happen? Not very often? Consciousness. It doesn't get 515 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: much more complex than that. We'll talk about it. I'll 516 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: talk about it when we come back. I'm josh Waope Warren. 517 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast 518 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 1: to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be 519 00:37:42,320 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: right back. Welcome back to the final segment of this 520 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to 521 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 1: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, 522 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: and yes, I have been talking for many years about 523 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: how that consciousness is really the root of everything. What 524 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: do you know about the world other than what you 525 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: are conscious of? I think therefore, I am and I 526 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: think that's why that manifestation and mind machines work, because 527 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: that these are tools that are helping you to fine 528 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: tune your consciousness. Before I get to this new research 529 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: about consciousness, here's an example of this. Uh, Doctor Moulder 530 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: just received this email from a man named Jim who 531 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,240 Speaker 1: is he has been using wishing machines, which I considered 532 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,280 Speaker 1: to be mind powered, consciousness powered devices. And he said, 533 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: doctor Moulder, here's the short version. After many months, multiple 534 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: attempts and several one hundred dollars wasted to discover the 535 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: problem with my car's flashing engine light and have it fixed, 536 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: I finally put it on my wishing machine e Lux 537 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: and spectrophone, and this time it got fixed. And then 538 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: he said, here's the long version. All right, Well, let's 539 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: let's get the long version in here. Let's see the details, 540 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 1: because maybe we can learn from how this guy did this. 541 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: He said, my twenty thirteen Infinity G three seven had 542 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: a problem with the engine light flash at high RPMs 543 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: forty five hundred RPMs and above. I had the local 544 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: Nissan Diller service department to do a diagnostic on it 545 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: almost two hundred dollars, and they said it needed a 546 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: new upper manifold. I bought a used one and had 547 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 1: the old one replaced and that was three hundred dollars. Well, 548 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: he got it completely wrong. My mechanic discovered that the 549 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: Nissan service tech missed what was a bad fuel injector 550 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: ring gasket, but the light still flashed. He goes on 551 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: to say months later, because this was expensive and I 552 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: had to gather the money to get this done, I 553 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: had to. I had another shop do a diagnostic on it, 554 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 1: and it said, well, it might be the timing chain 555 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: or the solenoids that adjust the variable valve timing, and 556 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: those could be out of timing, but he'd have to 557 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: tear it apart to figure out which one. Another two 558 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,720 Speaker 1: hundred dollars diagnostic, He says, I couldn't afford the engine 559 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: being torn apart. This was getting expensive for nothing. A 560 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: few months later, I chose a different automotive repair shop 561 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: with great reviews, and he did a diagnostic on it, 562 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: and he came up with several very different causes. I 563 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: decided to go with him all parts and labor. Two thousand, 564 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,879 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty dollars. Yeah, that's two thousand, two 565 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty dollars. When done, I took the car 566 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: out for a drive and the light still flashed. But 567 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: he also warranted his work, so he said bring it 568 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: in and he'll look deeper. I gave him my car 569 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, February seventeenth. I decided to put my car 570 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: on my wishing machine, radio radiotic boxes, the Elux and 571 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 1: the spectrophone combo. He also added in some organite pyramids. 572 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 1: He said. The guy had my car for two days, 573 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: conferred with another mechanic friend, and together they finally figured 574 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: it out. No extra charge for all that labor and 575 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: extra parts. Got the car Thursday, took it out and 576 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: raced the engine. No flashing engine light. After a year 577 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: and a half of this, I finally have a whole car, 578 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 1: And as far as I'm concerned, it was money well 579 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,840 Speaker 1: spent with that mechanic and on my wishing machine radiotic boxes. 580 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: Did the boxes make a difference, Well, who can know 581 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: for sure, but I believe so because that's when it 582 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: finally got fixed. Should have done that a long time, Agohl, Well, Shane, 583 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm happy you got that problem. So I think we 584 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: can all relate to that. If you have a car, 585 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,760 Speaker 1: and most of us do, and you're not into cars, 586 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: then yeah, you get this run around all the time, 587 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: especially nowadays, because you know, most people can't even work 588 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: on a modern car. You know, there's a guy I 589 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 1: watch on YouTube who fix up fixes up cars, and 590 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: he said, you know a couple decades ago, you went 591 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 1: and got your socket set from Seers or whatever, and 592 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,839 Speaker 1: you could do most of what you needed to do 593 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: on a car. Now you gotta have computers and everything's 594 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,439 Speaker 1: hard to get to and it's just, you know, it's 595 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: like everything else, everything's gotten too complicated. But yeah, thanks, 596 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: thanks Jim for sending that to me and sending that 597 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: to doctor Mulder see consciousness. So here's the news. This 598 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: comes to us from Okay. Well. I first saw this 599 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: on the Coast to Coast AM website. It started, however, 600 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: with a popular mechanics article that recently came out. And 601 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: the popular mechanics article is called your consciousness can Connect 602 00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: with the whole universe, groundbreaking research suggests, and on the 603 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,919 Speaker 1: Coast to Coast Day website, it says new research from 604 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:15,240 Speaker 1: Wellesley College that is in Massachusetts suggests that microscopic brain 605 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: structures called micro tubules may play a key role in 606 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 1: generating consciousness, potentially operating through quantum level processes. The findings 607 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 1: lend support to a theory first proposed in nineteen ninety 608 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:39,479 Speaker 1: by a Nobel Prize winning physicist named Roger Penrose, who 609 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: argued that moments of conscious experience arise from quantum wave 610 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 1: function collapses in the brain. If true, this could imply 611 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: that consciousness is rooted in quantum physics and may even 612 00:44:55,560 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: be interconnected across individuals, forming a vast and tangled web 613 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: of awareness throughout the universe. While the theory remains unproven, 614 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 1: it stands as one of the more compelling scientific attempts 615 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:15,760 Speaker 1: to explain how consciousness might emerge. I agree entirely. This 616 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: is what I have been talking about when I mentioned 617 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: what I call the worm whole brain. That's a term 618 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 1: that I invented because I absolutely believe that this is 619 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 1: what's happening. That quantum phenomena are are ever present, they're omnipresence, 620 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: and they're at the root of your experience. I wrote 621 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: about this in my book The Secret Wisdom of Kucko Khan, 622 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: which I believe is available on my website. I'm not 623 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 1: sure it probably is, but here's just, you know, a 624 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: little refreshers. The book starts out, if I took a 625 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: mighty hand and squashed every bit of water and empty 626 00:45:58,239 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: space from your body, you would be the size of 627 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: a pee I can roll between my fingers. Most of 628 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 1: you is nothing. That is why so much will pass 629 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: through your empty spaces. Radio waves, X rays, magnetic fields 630 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: and so on slip right through you. So what are you? 631 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 1: You are one infinitely tiny pinpoint of awareness surrounded by 632 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: an ever changing energy field, and yet that quantum speck, 633 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 1: that is you, can funnel and channel vast information from 634 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:35,839 Speaker 1: the sprawling cosmos and from unimaginable dimensions. The seat of 635 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 1: your being, consciousness and awareness is an infinitesqly small wormhole, 636 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: and what you know is the information that flows through it, 637 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 1: in and out, connecting the energy fields flowing and standing 638 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: around it. You are a faucet and a drain, pouring 639 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 1: forth data and receiving it. That is, the permanent you 640 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 1: that has always been, will always be, and anything else 641 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: extending from you as temporary, fluctuating, and bound to perpetual 642 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: cycles of growth and decay. In many various forms. This 643 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:16,760 Speaker 1: tube of information exchange, the dynamic seat of your consciousness 644 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: we will call the worm whole brain, or WHB. Though 645 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 1: all are similar, no two are alike. Some are larger 646 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,240 Speaker 1: or smaller than others, able to transfer more or less. 647 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 1: The way in which the information is ultimately processed includes 648 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: the filters of your physical brain, or lack thereof, as 649 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: in single celled organisms, though the worm whole brains of you, 650 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: an egle, a bear, and a shark are equally impressive. 651 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 1: The physical brain determines how that initial flow of cosmic 652 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 1: information should be used, what is relevant to that particular 653 00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 1: creature's survival at a particular time, etc. So I think 654 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: we're saying the same thing micro tubules. I bet it 655 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: all boils down to one micro tube though, what do 656 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: you think? Oh? Well, the clock has got us. So 657 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 1: let's end the show as I often do. Let us 658 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,320 Speaker 1: all use our collective consciousness and let's try to manifest 659 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 1: the best next week ever for all of us, part 660 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 1: of this family. Okay, if you can close your eyes, 661 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 1: but certainly take some deep breaths and let us meditate 662 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:45,360 Speaker 1: together on this twenty second tone.
