Speaker 1: Welcome to you stuff you should know from house stuff
Speaker 1: Works dot com. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: Josh Clark. Just's Charles W. Chuck Bryant and Jerry's over there.
Speaker 1: We're just bouncing off the walls here. I'm sick. I'm
Speaker 1: not bouncing anywhere. I'm bouncing to the doctor. Are you
Speaker 1: right after this? You got the funk, I got the chests,
Speaker 1: got the chests. Your kids not even in preschool yet.
Speaker 1: I'm not sick because I hurt. Well, why did you
Speaker 1: get sick? You know, people get sick from other things.
Speaker 1: I thought once you had a kid, like that's the
Speaker 1: only way you got sick. Now, I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is. Man camping in the night, it was cold,
Speaker 1: That's what it is. But I don't know you got
Speaker 1: a wood fungus. I didn't treat myself like I should
Speaker 1: have on that camping trip either. Oh yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. No, that wasn't you know, going jogging
Speaker 1: and drinking juice. You're eating chocolate bars. No, not chocolate.
Speaker 1: I got into the whiskey, though. I didn't help things out,
Speaker 1: I see, not on a cold night. It's been cold
Speaker 1: here recently, it's weird. I mean like cold and it's
Speaker 1: mid May. It's unusual, it's global warming. So, Chuck, have
Speaker 1: you ever heard of the NFL's Big Game? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: can we even say that? I don't think so. All right,
Speaker 1: uh so the Big Game? Actually it sounds a lot
Speaker 1: like super Ball, which is what we're talking about. There's
Speaker 1: no that's actually a thing. The reason why it is
Speaker 1: because it's named after the Super Ball. Did you know that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I did not, and I thought this was a little dubious,
Speaker 1: and the story still it seems fishy to me. But
Speaker 1: so a guy named Lamar Hunt, right, he founded the
Speaker 1: the Dallas Texans I think is what they originally called,
Speaker 1: but they went on to become the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: And he founded this team because he couldn't get an
Speaker 1: NFL franchise in Dallas, so he just founded his own
Speaker 1: league as well, and he created the a f L,
Speaker 1: the American Football League, because Dallas is such a football town. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think they had a problem with Dallas.
Speaker 1: I think they had just a problem maybe with this guy.
Speaker 1: Who knows. But he was not the type of just
Speaker 1: take things lying down. Instead, he went and founded a
Speaker 1: different football league rival one right, And so as time progressed,
Speaker 1: they tried to get the NFL and the a f
Speaker 1: L uh integrated, and to smooth the transition, they decided
Speaker 1: that they would have a year end championship where the
Speaker 1: best team from the NFL would play the best team
Speaker 1: from the a f L. And they couldn't figure out
Speaker 1: what to call it, and apparently at one of the meetings,
Speaker 1: Lamar Hunt said, how about the Big Game? That's not
Speaker 1: what he said. He said, the sbright because my kids
Speaker 1: been playing with this Super Bowl at home, and why
Speaker 1: not name a the final football game of the season
Speaker 1: after the toy that has nothing to do with it,
Speaker 1: that's right, And so all all the all the guys,
Speaker 1: we're like, well, we're ready to go to the gentleman's
Speaker 1: club and eat some steaks. So fine, we'll go with that.
Speaker 1: And apparently later on Lamar Hunt said he said in
Speaker 1: a quote, I guess it is a little corny, but
Speaker 1: it looks like we're stuck with it, so no one
Speaker 1: really likes it. They didn't use it for the first
Speaker 1: big Game, No, that didn't they call it like the
Speaker 1: Ultimate Bowl. I think it was just the a f
Speaker 1: L NFL championship or something, and then by year three
Speaker 1: they said, uh, I guess we need to have something
Speaker 1: more catchy. But all that because of the super Ball,
Speaker 1: a little child's toy that everybody went crazy four and
Speaker 1: in nineteen I think starting in n yes, and we
Speaker 1: can just file this in the bucket with the slinky
Speaker 1: and Silly Putty and Barbie Barbie and played. Oh did
Speaker 1: we do that one? Yes? Or did we just sit
Speaker 1: around and eat it? I think we did? Okay? Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: what were you gonna call these pop culture of the
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties and sixties? Okay, did we did the frisbee
Speaker 1: or the hula hoop? We did the hula hoop? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did. And we did the boomerang. That's more a
Speaker 1: weapon than a toy. Uh boy, it's getting harder and
Speaker 1: harder to remember which once we've done as old age. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: it's it's our what's the word prolific nature, right, which
Speaker 1: is really not that much. It's just two a week
Speaker 1: over the year's adds up. Well, it's prolific, yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's not like recording twelve episodes a week or anything
Speaker 1: that's prolific. That's insane. This is just regular like taxes
Speaker 1: and death. Do you know what would happen to us
Speaker 1: if we recorded twelve episodes a week? Well, I do,
Speaker 1: I would quit. It would be the final twelve. Uh So,
Speaker 1: all right, let's go back in time. Should we hop
Speaker 1: up in the the old way back machine? Yuh? Go
Speaker 1: back to the Cold War and the space race, which
Speaker 1: we've talked about quite a lot. Yeah, and the United
Speaker 1: States feeling like Russia got up Sputnik and or I
Speaker 1: guess it was the Soviet Union got up Sputnik, and
Speaker 1: we're in big trouble because they did this before us,
Speaker 1: and we're all scared in the United States that we're
Speaker 1: not competing like we should. Yeah, I was reading about it.
Speaker 1: I was reading it. Just it's really hard to overstate
Speaker 1: the effect that Sputnik had on the US because post
Speaker 1: war America was all like, look at this gadet, look
Speaker 1: at this toy, make your life comfortable, get fat, and
Speaker 1: sit around in your lazy boy chair. Right, the little
Speaker 1: satellite came along and disrupted all that because like, America
Speaker 1: woke up and um. Stephen King actually said that Sputnik
Speaker 1: instilled in him the dread that informed the work for
Speaker 1: the rest of his life. It was all based on Sputnik. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a lot of really far reaching effects. But
Speaker 1: one of them was that America said, scientists, get you
Speaker 1: to work. Yeah, get off your butts. Yeah, because you're
Speaker 1: not doing anything. Yeah. Uh, you're sitting around playing pinnuckle. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so a guy named well, they did a lot
Speaker 1: of work actually, and they took it very seriously. And
Speaker 1: this one dude, his name was Norman Stingley. Um. He
Speaker 1: worked for a company called Bettis Rubber in suburban l
Speaker 1: A and Whittier, California. And um, he was a scientist.
Speaker 1: And he said, you know what, well, we should caveat
Speaker 1: this with if you work for a company like that
Speaker 1: as a scientist, you know, going in you sign away
Speaker 1: your life rights and basically say that anything I create
Speaker 1: under your employ and even if I'm at home tinkering
Speaker 1: around in my spare time, yeah, with stuff that I like,
Speaker 1: you know, learned from work, then you well, it depends
Speaker 1: on your contract. You either on it or your first
Speaker 1: rider refusal for it the company does, right, And I
Speaker 1: gain have the impression that UM with Bettis the company
Speaker 1: that Stingly worked for, Um, they had first rider refusal. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: So he began working on some stuff on his own
Speaker 1: for fun. Uh in the ve he compressed into a
Speaker 1: ball this uh gooey substance, and um said, hey, this
Speaker 1: is pretty neat. This little synthetic rubber ball actually bounces
Speaker 1: quite a bit more than any ball I've ever seen before.
Speaker 1: And I might be onto something, and by Lord, is
Speaker 1: still bouncing and bouncing and bouncing unless I throw it
Speaker 1: too hard and then it just comes apart, which is
Speaker 1: not good. No. No, the earliest Um, the earliest incarnation
Speaker 1: of the super Bowl. We just disintegrate when it hit
Speaker 1: the ground too hard. And that's actually stingly said, Okay,
Speaker 1: I gotta take this to my employer. He's you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll hand it to him. I would have totally tried to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I would set up a shell company. I
Speaker 1: would create a false person, yeah, with the fake social
Speaker 1: Security number, like Jackie Chan. What he's like, the one
Speaker 1: person who's been out in so far in the Panama papers?
Speaker 1: Oh really, Jackie Chan? No way, what'd he do? He
Speaker 1: hid money that he taxes and offshore shell companies. I
Speaker 1: haven't been keeping up with that lately. It's been a
Speaker 1: bit of a bus But I also have the impression
Speaker 1: that a bunch more stuff is coming. Well, hey, if
Speaker 1: they got Jackie Chan, then it was all worthwhile. But
Speaker 1: that's what they got was poor Jackie Chan. He's probably
Speaker 1: looking around like really just me? Yeah, He's like, what
Speaker 1: about Wesley Snipes? Wesley SIPs is like they already got me.
Speaker 1: I'm doing Samsung commercials now? Is he really? Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a really great Samsung commercial. Let's got all these like
Speaker 1: random stars and he's one of them, and he's like
Speaker 1: kind of making fun of himself a little bit. Boy.
Speaker 1: I bet he would love to hear that he's random
Speaker 1: start num before. Uh all right, So he went to
Speaker 1: Bettus and, like a good dude, said I've made this thing.
Speaker 1: Let me show it to you. Uh you first rider
Speaker 1: refusal and they said no, that thing kind of stinks. Um,
Speaker 1: it bounces and it's kind of neat, but it I
Speaker 1: threw it hard and it broke. Yeah, what what kid's
Speaker 1: gonna want this? No kid could love you and they
Speaker 1: spit on it. I wonder what the rules are though,
Speaker 1: with Like, I wonder if you could take a cruddy version,
Speaker 1: you know a little bit of like a shell game,
Speaker 1: take a poor version and say, what do you want
Speaker 1: this and then make it better afterwards after they refuse it,
Speaker 1: you know, because it's a whole episode in defrauding your employer. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean that's sort of what ended up happening. Of
Speaker 1: course it wasn't on purpose, but he he then took
Speaker 1: it to the people that made the most sense in
Speaker 1: the world, the chiefs at Wammo, right, and where else
Speaker 1: would he take it? I mean, these dudes dick Ner
Speaker 1: and Arthur Melan melanur mel often confused with Larry Bud
Speaker 1: Melman or spud we. Uh. Yeah, I just didn't mind
Speaker 1: to meet him when I was a kid. Bud Mom, No,
Speaker 1: it's Bud Web. I could see that. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: He was a big deal back then, but I had
Speaker 1: a knack for standing in line for meet and greet
Speaker 1: autograph sessions. Uh. Brett Butler the baseball player, Bob Gibson
Speaker 1: the baseball player, Dominique okay yes um. And Cheap Trick
Speaker 1: the payer. Yeah, I went to the record bar when
Speaker 1: I was like twelve and stood in Lyne to get
Speaker 1: my album autographed. Yeah, like a twelve year old fan
Speaker 1: boy does. And congratulations to Cheap Trick, by the way,
Speaker 1: for finally being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame this year. Uh just happened this year? Huh
Speaker 1: just happened? Crazy. It's rock and Roll's greatest tragedy that
Speaker 1: it took this long agreed, long overdue. Uh so where
Speaker 1: was I? So he took it to WAMO and these
Speaker 1: dudes had made a mint selling the hula hoop, and
Speaker 1: um were they? They were the frisbee, but not the slinky. No.
Speaker 1: I think the slinky was its own company. I think
Speaker 1: that's another one we did too. Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: So they said, this is kind of neat, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't work so great, so get to work on it.
Speaker 1: And he did, you want to take a break and
Speaker 1: talk about it some more. That's a nice cliffhanger, all right.
Speaker 1: So you said the last thing you said was knockoff, knockoff,
Speaker 1: And that means that someone said, hey, this thing is neat.
Speaker 1: And while there's a patent on that particular process to
Speaker 1: create that particular ball, you can't stop me from creating
Speaker 1: a bouncy ball of my own. Like M d M
Speaker 1: A is illegal, but m d M A plus ZPT
Speaker 1: there's no law against that same same principle. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's true. I think it is all right. So
Speaker 1: it's like you can just take something and and adjust
Speaker 1: to add like a covalent bond or something like that,
Speaker 1: and it's still practically the same stuff. But on paper
Speaker 1: it's not the same thing, because if you go look
Speaker 1: at the Zectron patent, you're gonna see exactly the um
Speaker 1: the chemical description for it. And if you have something
Speaker 1: that's even just slightly different from it, it technically is
Speaker 1: not the same thing. It's like vanilla ice adding the
Speaker 1: extra bass note to under pressure. Did he add an
Speaker 1: extra note? Yeah? Under pressure is doom doom doom do
Speaker 1: do doom, Doom doom doom doom doom do doo doom doom.
Speaker 1: I've never noticed that. Yeah, that was this whole deal.
Speaker 1: That's how he tried to get out of I thought
Speaker 1: it was all like music sampling. Was music sampling. He
Speaker 1: tried to pretend like it was different by adding a beat. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I don't remember how. I don't remember the result.
Speaker 1: If he that either got him off or people said
Speaker 1: you jerk. I think I think people said you jerked,
Speaker 1: whether he was legally on the hook or not. And
Speaker 1: we'll get three emails explaining it all to us, maybe
Speaker 1: from Vanilla Ice himself. He has like a home renovation
Speaker 1: show now whips Houses. I've seen it, have you? I'm
Speaker 1: aware of it. No, I've never watched. No, I've watched
Speaker 1: like a couple of full episodes. You well. I mean
Speaker 1: I like the home RUNO shows, which is why I
Speaker 1: watched it. Not because I was a Vanilla Ice fan.
Speaker 1: So I was just curious and it you know, it
Speaker 1: wasn't It was kind of like all the rest. It
Speaker 1: was nothing different because it was him. So he's not
Speaker 1: like a larger than life personality or anything. It's not
Speaker 1: like a Flavor Flavor home runof he was. He was
Speaker 1: just sort of normal. And he didn't like, you know,
Speaker 1: they didn't make it super. He didn't like show up
Speaker 1: to this site and say, hey, stop collaborate and listen everyone.
Speaker 1: That would have been really cheesy. That is all I
Speaker 1: would say if I were him. Um, but you know,
Speaker 1: he was Vanilla Ice. He like, we're gonna make this
Speaker 1: pool so fly, like you're not gonna believe it. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be dope. Uh. All right, So let's get back
Speaker 1: to the knockoffs. People started making these things obviously, it's
Speaker 1: gonna put a debt because they were a little bit cheaper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: by like yeah, and you get out of a gun
Speaker 1: machine like super easily. And you know, back in the
Speaker 1: nineties sixties, of a parent could pay a quarter for
Speaker 1: something or a dollar for something, they would probably, you know,
Speaker 1: pick the cheaper one. Parents never changed. My parents would
Speaker 1: have parents just don't understand. Yeah, I used to where
Speaker 1: um nights of the round table clothes? Do you remember those?
Speaker 1: The Polo knockoff? Yeah, my mom would be like, you
Speaker 1: can't even tell it's a flag. I'd be like, everybody
Speaker 1: can tell it's a flag. Instead of the club I
Speaker 1: wore this. I had the knockoff that wasn't the Eyesod alligator.
Speaker 1: It was a gecko. I remember that. Yeah, I'm just kidding. Well,
Speaker 1: you got me on that one. Maybe there was, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, there was definitely an ISA knockoff. Oh
Speaker 1: yeah there was, But I don't think it was a lizard.
Speaker 1: Well was it? Was it a dragon? I do remember.
Speaker 1: I totally remember an ISA knockoff. The dragon though, I
Speaker 1: think was its own like cool thing. Maybe all I
Speaker 1: know is that I didn't buy those. What I would
Speaker 1: get was the the polo that the collar was sown
Speaker 1: wrong or something. Oh, so you get like the real polo.
Speaker 1: But it was like a what do they call them
Speaker 1: remnants or something like you know, there's an factory defects. Yeah,
Speaker 1: factory defects because there was a place, a store that
Speaker 1: sold them, and that's we were there a lot. I
Speaker 1: got ones. They were just fine. They were just total knockoffs,
Speaker 1: which is better. I wonder a developed factory defected because
Speaker 1: what kid's gonna be like your callers, just slightly misstitched.
Speaker 1: I think the factory defects that right, Um, kids like
Speaker 1: Josh is poor he's wearing a Knight's T shirt Knights
Speaker 1: of the Round Table. But I could also be like,
Speaker 1: so are you None of us were wearing polo stuffinitely
Speaker 1: all wearing Knights of the Round Table, so it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: So the super ball knockoffs, but a big dent. And uh,
Speaker 1: they were, like I said, usually a little bit smaller.
Speaker 1: The regular super ball um was one point eight seven
Speaker 1: five inches and if by comparison, you've ever held a raccketball,
Speaker 1: that's about two point two five inches. Oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: a little smaller than rocket. You got it. I like
Speaker 1: the plumb comparison because it was also the color of
Speaker 1: a plum. Yeah it's dark, yeah, like purple or black, right,
Speaker 1: and in said made with amazing zectron. Yeah, which was
Speaker 1: a big you know, that was a big draw. Uh.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how cool this thing was. It
Speaker 1: wasn't just a bouncy ball. And we keep saying was
Speaker 1: there're still around? Yeah, but I mean at the time
Speaker 1: when people were all aware of super balls, Like even
Speaker 1: Jerry was like, I don't know what that is. Do
Speaker 1: you know what it is? Yet? Is it ring a bell?
Speaker 1: She made her fingers in the shape of a circle,
Speaker 1: a plum plump size, a little smaller than the racket ball. Uh.
Speaker 1: The cool thing about these well, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: cool things, but one thing is how high it would bounce.
Speaker 1: It had it would bounce back. They would claim a
Speaker 1: resilience of So if you just drop it from twelve
Speaker 1: inches onto something hard like a desk, it would bounce
Speaker 1: back ten inches. Then on the second bounce nine point
Speaker 1: seven to third bounce eight point seven five on down,
Speaker 1: which is remarkable. It is it had a high coefficient
Speaker 1: of restitution, that's right, and it would conserve its elastic
Speaker 1: energy which is basically like the amount of kinetic energy
Speaker 1: that's preserved once an object is deformed and then reforms
Speaker 1: back to its original shape. Yeah, because when it hits
Speaker 1: that desk, if you took a snapshot of that or
Speaker 1: a slow motion high speed shot, you know it flat
Speaker 1: and out right. It does a little bit, sure, and
Speaker 1: when it flattens out. The reason it doesn't have a
Speaker 1: hundred percent um coefficient of restitution or uh what was
Speaker 1: it what was it called resilience, Yeah, or why it
Speaker 1: doesn't have a d percent because when it drops, when
Speaker 1: it deforms and hits a surface, it um a little
Speaker 1: bit of heat energy is released as it deforms. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that so it loses there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: energy loss, ten percent energy loss every time it strikes
Speaker 1: a surface. Yeah, like when we did this episode recently
Speaker 1: on crumple zones. Like if something hits something else, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a loss of energy. Uh. And in this case, um,
Speaker 1: it was lost as heat like you said, But because
Speaker 1: it's so elastic, it retains a lot of its kinetic energy.
Speaker 1: Like a bowling ball, when you drop it, it might
Speaker 1: bounce a little bit. It retains a tab bit of
Speaker 1: kinetic energy but it just places it pretty quickly, so
Speaker 1: it might bounce like just you know, an inch and
Speaker 1: then now a quarter inch and then nothing like the
Speaker 1: one drunk guy at the bowling alley that throws it
Speaker 1: like fifteen ft down the lane before it hits the floor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'll usually bounce like one time. Right, you can also
Speaker 1: do that if you're not drunk. I can tell you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the purpose there? I don't get it. I've never
Speaker 1: got that. What slinging the bowling ball down that far?
Speaker 1: It's just totally accidental. Okay for me, it's always been accidental.
Speaker 1: I thought it was like watch this, Oh well, yeah,
Speaker 1: then you're just a drunk guy, Like, who's a jerk?
Speaker 1: You need to go home? Your thumb gets stuck, yeah,
Speaker 1: or something like that, or just you know, forget to
Speaker 1: release at the right moment, that kind of thing and
Speaker 1: it just goes up. And then, yeah, we're not good bowlers.
Speaker 1: I think that's a better way to put in. I've
Speaker 1: had a couple of good games in my life. I
Speaker 1: actually took a bowling class in seventh grade or eighth grade. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did too. That's when I get hooked on Starburst.
Speaker 1: Did really Yeah, there's this vending machine in it, like
Speaker 1: the Starburst just look perfect in it. And every time
Speaker 1: I would just buy Starburst and then I can go
Speaker 1: back and buy more Starburst. You would go to the
Speaker 1: bowling alley for the class. Dude, are bowling? Class was
Speaker 1: in the gym, like they would just set up bowling
Speaker 1: pins and put tape down on the floor. Everybody's bowling
Speaker 1: in their factory defect polo shirts and eyes I knockoffs,
Speaker 1: and then you had to take turns setting up the
Speaker 1: pins by hand. No, we went to like South Wake
Speaker 1: Lanes and Woe that's crazy. Had a venue Michie was
Speaker 1: Starburst kids sneaking beer and stuff. No, they didn't. We
Speaker 1: were good kids. That's good at least at that age.
Speaker 1: Good Toledo kids Tolden's to Ladians, Toledo white ians. What, oh,
Speaker 1: Toledo owens. You're just making stuff up. Toledo pens, I
Speaker 1: think is what they're called. They're going to take back
Speaker 1: your key to the city. I never got that guy
Speaker 1: gave up. I wonder how he's doing. There's a guy everybody,
Speaker 1: I guess we can let you in on this private
Speaker 1: conversation right right now. There's a guy who was an
Speaker 1: early fan of stuff you should know who decided that
Speaker 1: it was his mission to see to it that I
Speaker 1: got the key to the city of Toledo. Wonderful. He
Speaker 1: really tried, Yeah, I mean yeah, he was a nice
Speaker 1: guy for sure, but he would harass the Congresswoman Marcy Captor,
Speaker 1: who was a former Toledo mayor, and like everybody could
Speaker 1: really really tried, it didn't happen. You need someone higher
Speaker 1: up on the chain to be a fan. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: hats off to that guy. He was nice. I don't
Speaker 1: remember his name, but he was a good guy. Yeah. Alright,
Speaker 1: So should we talk a little bit about the Polly
Speaker 1: Beute tad d N me how did you say it?
Speaker 1: Polly Beuta dying polly beta dye. So those are three things.
Speaker 1: The beaute beaut four part carbon chain h E N
Speaker 1: E double bond d I too, right, So beaut beauta
Speaker 1: dyne by itself, it's just a compound for carbon chain
Speaker 1: double he looks two double bonds, right, Do people care? Really?
Speaker 1: There's some chemists guy out there's like, yeah, no, I
Speaker 1: mean they superballs are all over science class. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: they really are, and not just because they are amazing
Speaker 1: chemically or their need at least chemically, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm impressed by it, right, um, but also the physics
Speaker 1: of them, not just their co of coefficient of UM
Speaker 1: restitution and their elasticity, but also they have another UM
Speaker 1: coefficient of friction. Yeah, this is pretty cool. It's like
Speaker 1: totally um different than their their elasticity. They have a
Speaker 1: surface that basically grips whatever surface or object that's thrown onto,
Speaker 1: and it grips it so hard that the surface can
Speaker 1: spin it a different way. So if you throw a
Speaker 1: super Bowl with some backspin at an angle, it will
Speaker 1: basically hit the ground and spin back towards you. It
Speaker 1: changes its spin because it's there. There's so much friction. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if you get a super Bowl and you are
Speaker 1: in a room with nothing breakable, uh, and you start
Speaker 1: spinning and bouncing that thing, you never know where it's
Speaker 1: gonna go. Never know because not only does it have
Speaker 1: a high horizontal or vertical bounce, has an equally good
Speaker 1: horizontal bounce as well. It's just a neat little thing.
Speaker 1: And that's it. That is it. I think that's it.
Speaker 1: You got anything else? Now you've seen one in physics class.
Speaker 1: If you have a fun professor, you probably bought a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in there and taught you things. And if
Speaker 1: you don't, there's plenty of videos on YouTube that you
Speaker 1: can watch. So hats off to Norman Stingly. Thank you
Speaker 1: Norman for the Super Bowl. Uh. If you want to
Speaker 1: know more about super Bowls, you can type that word
Speaker 1: in the search bart how stuff works dot com. And
Speaker 1: since I said search bars, time for listening. Now I'm
Speaker 1: gonna call this dark meat. Hey, guys, web the podcast. Um,
Speaker 1: you've probably got a hundred emails about this. Actually, David Hill,
Speaker 1: we got one from you. I just finished listening to
Speaker 1: the true stories of survival cannibalism. Uh, and you guys
Speaker 1: explain the difference between dark and white meat is the
Speaker 1: amount of blood vessels. Not true. All muscles require the
Speaker 1: same blood supply for respiration and nutrition. Just so you know,
Speaker 1: the main reason for the color differences in the content
Speaker 1: of myoglobin. My globin is a richly pigmented protein that
Speaker 1: has used to store oxygen and cells. The more my globin,
Speaker 1: the darker redder the meat will appear. Red meat is
Speaker 1: muscle fibers that are used or were used for long
Speaker 1: and durance activities and are classified as slow twitch muscle fibers.
