1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you should know, a production of I 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. 3 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: There's Charles w Chuck Bryan over there, there's Jerry over there, 4 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: and this is stuff you should know. I have let 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: me more to comment other than that. All right, how 6 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: are you chucking? Good? I'm great good, I'm glad. What 7 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: are you drinking? I'm drinking Perry. It's French, fancy fancy. 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm drinking just regular old dumb American water. What is 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: that tap water? Don't drink that well, I mean it's water, 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: it's not out of the tap. I have a death 11 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: wish on my hands. Right, you know what I love? 12 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: If you're going fizzy drinks, best fizzy drink of all time, 13 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: I would say Sam Pellegrino. Um, well, any Sam peret 14 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: flavored kind Topechico. Oh yeah, it's good. Jerry's nodding with emphasis. 15 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: I've had one before. Yeah, the Topachico. I just like 16 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: the plane. It is the fizziest of fizz, is it. 17 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: And uh, here's a little drink for you. Tequila and 18 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: Topechico and about a half a lime. That's it. Low calorie, clean, simple, refreshing, simple, meager, delicious, meager, disgusting. 19 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: It's like what a what a quaker? Or uh, what 20 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: a Quaker would drink? Or um? Yeah? Righte tequila? Who 21 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: am I thinking of? I have no idea what you're 22 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: talking about? Now? Who goes on rum Springer? Oh? Amish? 23 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: The Amish. It's what the Amish would drink, very plain, straightforward, 24 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: boozy drink. Oh. I think when the Amish, uh going 25 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: rum spring and they probably go straight for the hard stuff, 26 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: straight for the Harvey wallbangers. Well, I think they just 27 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: they say, we don't need that topachico, just pour that tequila? 28 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: Got you into my stomach quickly? Man? Uh So today, 29 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: of course we're talking about Faraday cages, Chuck. Have you 30 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: ever been in a car that was struck by lightning? Uh? No? 31 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: Have you know? I would talk about it every day. 32 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: But you know what, if you were you'd probably walk 33 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: around saying everything was cool because the tires are grounded. Man, 34 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: not not me. I wouldn't have said that. You would 35 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: have said that yesterday today, I would have said it before. 36 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: That's not true though. It's it's not the tires right, 37 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: No tires are made of rubber too or something like it, 38 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: and which is an insulator. It doesn't conduct electricity very well. 39 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: But if a bolt of lightning hit your car, those 40 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: tires are not nearly insulated enough to protect you. It's 41 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: actually because your car is essentially what's called a Faraday cage, 42 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: which is why it jibes with the topic today. That's right, Uh, 43 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: name for Michael Faraday, the nineteenth century scientist. I don't 44 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: even dude. Yeah that I mean, this guy was just 45 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: a mazing He deserves his own episode, for sure. Yeah, 46 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm a big, I'm a big. I was trying to 47 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: think of a funny name for a fair day fair, 48 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: like a fair day fair Dan, fair daddy. Oh that's 49 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: a good one. Fair Daddy, Fair daddy. But that implies 50 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: that you have kids. But you can be a fair daddy, 51 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: can be whatever, Sure it can be. Daddy did all 52 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: sorts of stuff. That's right, we have the stuff you 53 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: should know. Army, you're the fare daddy of the stuff 54 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: you should know. Army movie crushes, the movie crushers, And 55 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: I just learned today what you know. Dak Shepherd has 56 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: armchair expert. You know what his people are called arm 57 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: cherry in close? Is it really arm cherries C H 58 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: E R R I E s. Yeah, yeah, like Cherry, 59 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: you got the murder Hinos with my favorite murder. What 60 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: else I think this? American life fans are called middle 61 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: aged liberals. Very nice and that's all. No one else 62 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: says a nickname. No, that's it. Um. I'm sure someone 63 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: else has a nickname. But Faraday in the Fara Daddies, 64 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: which is us and no one else developed something called 65 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: a fair day cage on the heels of the work 66 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: of someone named Ben Franklin. Should we say what a 67 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: fair day cage is first? Or story? I think a 68 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: little bit? Yeah, alright, well, fair day cage can be 69 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: any conductor of electricity that's important that surrounds something that 70 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: you would like to protect from electro an electrical charge, right, 71 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: or it turns out also electromagnetic radiation, which is not 72 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: the same thing. No, they're based on the same stuff. 73 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: But electricity is a current of electrons moving through an object. Uh. 74 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: An electromagnetic radiation or type of it is just energy 75 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: flowing through there. Like, he doesn't need a conductor. That's 76 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: really the big differentiator between the two. Yeah, but it's 77 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 1: it can be chain link, it can be wired mesh, 78 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: like you said, it can be your car, can be 79 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: solid metal. We'll talk about planes later on planes technically, 80 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: or a kind of fair day cage, thank goodness, and yeah, 81 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: and it basically is there to protect what's inside and 82 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: has a range of applications. Now that has kind of 83 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: grown over the years. And the thing about a Faraday 84 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: cages that it's really weird. It's based on observations like 85 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: you said, by Ben Franklin and then really investigated by Faraday, 86 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: which we'll get into in a second. But it doesn't 87 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: quite make sense because if you happen to come along 88 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: and there's a down power line and it's laying on 89 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: an aluminum fence post like the Ice Storm movie? Does 90 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: that happen in that movie? Oh, I gotta see that. 91 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: Then you've never seen the Ice Storm one of the 92 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: great movies. I know, I know, But then I go 93 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: through periods where I'm like, I just I want something 94 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: like dumb and thoughtless. Well, that's not the storm, right, 95 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: And you also have to wait till the winter. You 96 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: can't like I see, you can't PLoP down on the 97 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 1: summertime in your backyard. Now I know that's true to 98 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: be weird, I'm trying to think I saw something just 99 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: the other day that was worth watching. Oh man, man, 100 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: this is podcast gold right here. I'll try to think 101 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: of it, and I'll keep I'll keep this little region 102 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: of my brain right here going trying to figure out 103 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: what movie I just saw sometimes and then the rest 104 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: over here it's gonna is gonna focus on Faraday cages. 105 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: I can't do that minds like Hummer Simpson. My thought 106 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: bubble just says it, dontut Oh this is this part here, Okay, 107 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: So but hold on. So um, so what were we 108 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: talking about that before that we were talking about movies? 109 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: Were uh, yes, So a Faraday cage is weird, and 110 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: that if you normally go up to a conductor that 111 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: has an electrical current running through it and you touch it, 112 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: it's going to knock you out of your shoes, like 113 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: the kid in Stand By Me. Basically that was a 114 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: train the metaphor works or the kidney ice storm. Well, 115 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: now I don't have to see the ice storm. There's 116 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: a lot more than happens. So, um, a Faraday cage 117 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: is special in that it actually protects you from doing that, 118 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: but it uses conductors. It's not some special insulator. It 119 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: actually uses the very thing that should electrocute you to 120 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: prevent you from being electrocuted. It's yeah, the cage itself 121 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: is a hollow conductor, and that charge stays on the exterior. 122 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: It's like, here, let me take that electrical load for you. 123 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: Whatever is inside of me. That was it? See, Okay, 124 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: So I think that's actually the level of Ben Franklin's 125 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: understanding of it from what I gather Ben Franklin, he was, 126 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: he was on the case. He was he was sniffing 127 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: all over, he was, he sniffed off the case. Uh. 128 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: In seventeen fifty five he started doing a lot of 129 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: these electrical experiments. Obviously everyone knows about the kite. Uh. 130 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: One that has to do with the fair day cages. 131 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: He electrified ran a current through a pint can, a 132 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: silver pint can. Yeah, he was always drinking pines. Sure. 133 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: And then uh, he lowered a cork which obviously has 134 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: no charge, like a little cork ball attached to silk, 135 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: a silk string which has no you know, can't run 136 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: a current through that either, and he lowered it down 137 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: into that pint glass and it just sat there. It 138 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: was like, what what do you want? Yeah, this is 139 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: it's dumb. It was a teenage corkball. It wasn't It 140 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: was very much a teenage cork ball, and it didn't 141 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: do anything. But he pulled that cork ball out and 142 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: then dangled it beside that charge scan and it went Hotcha, Mama, 143 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: let me get a piece of that can Hama blessed 144 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: tax So it like latched on the outside of it. Right, 145 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: I just demonstrated everybody's white. Chuck laughed, and Ben Franklin 146 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: was like, I have no idea what's going on here. 147 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: I've only just preliminarily started experimenting with electricity. This is weird. 148 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: And he wrote to a friend he said, I I 149 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: can't explain this. Maybe someday you'll be able to investigate it. 150 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: If you do, let me know what the deal is. Um. 151 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: But he was the at least on paper, the first 152 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: person to really kind of notice this. It took Michael 153 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: Faraday a few decades later, probably about forty maybe even 154 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: fifty years later, to say, I really want to know 155 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: what's going on here, so he investigated it himself. Yeah. 156 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: But you know, if you really think about what Franklin did, 157 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: ninety nine people out of a hundred back then would 158 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: have been like, who cares, what are you doing that 159 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: stupid cork ball? Like what is this matter? Like you're 160 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: hanging inside there. It doesn't do anything hanging on the 161 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: outside and it moves a little bit. But Franklin knew, 162 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: He's like this is important, Like this is this will 163 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: have an application? Right, So like that there in lies 164 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: the brilliance I think, and the beauty you have Ben Franklin, 165 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: that and his hair do. Of course, So Michael Faraday, 166 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: when he investigated it, um, he recreated the same experiment 167 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: very famously. UM a couple of ways. One he lined 168 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: as a room. He built a room basically and then 169 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: lined it with um foil and then applied a charge 170 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: to the outside and put a small child in there. Well, 171 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: he put himself in there, and he hung out basically. 172 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: I saw for a couple of days in this Faraday 173 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: cage with an electrical current being applied to the outside 174 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: of it. He had a that was good for the 175 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: time because you, I mean, I made that joke. But 176 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: usually at the time it's like, how about that kitten, right, 177 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: you have no right that cute bunny, Let me just 178 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: exploit you. Um. So yeah, So he actually did it himself. 179 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: He remember we did that episode of famous scientists who 180 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: were their own guinea pigs. He could have qualified in 181 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: that respect for sure. But he demonstrated, Okay, there's no 182 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: charge in here. I'm fine, uh this this there's something 183 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: going on where this conductor itself is preventing the charge 184 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: from coming in here. That was the first one. Then 185 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: they follow it up again with an ice pail um, 186 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: which is exactly what it sounds like. You know, it's 187 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: a bucket. And he's very famous for his ice pail experiment, 188 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: basically recreated Franklin's thing. And he said, I think I 189 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: can explain this now. It wasn't full of ice though, 190 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: just to be clear. And actually there's still Faraday ice 191 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: pails today and they're made of wire mesh. Really, yeah, 192 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,599 Speaker 1: you gotta check them out. So is that what you 193 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: told your Yeah, don't work. They work for like, don't work. 194 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: It'll work too good. So I say we take a 195 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: break and then come back and try to explain what 196 00:11:49,120 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Faraday figured out. That sounds great, Okay, sucks. I don't 197 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: know that, you know it stuck in this. It's a 198 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: great name. That's the name of that. It's a great name. 199 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: So Michael Faraday was a brilliant man chuck in that 200 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: he he took Franklin's findings and said, here's what's going on. Yeah. 201 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: So if you listen to our March twentie episode How 202 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: Electricity Works one, you'll you'll it was pretty intense. I 203 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: really listened to a lot of it. We got into 204 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: the weeds because that's a tough one. It is. I mean, electricity. 205 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: It's not like a slouchy subject, you know, but this 206 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: is a Josh written simplified overview that is so much 207 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: better than that episode. I think, thanks man. And it 208 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: goes a little something like this. Alright, man, electricity. You've 209 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: got metal objects, and let's say it's a let's say 210 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: it's that tin can or whatever it's it's it's a 211 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: cocaine the pine can. We'll go stick with the pine 212 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: Cann't know why I changed the coke can because we're 213 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: in the South, okay, we're from We're in Atlanta. But 214 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: all right, it's a pint can. They don't make cocin pints, 215 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: or they should, or at least the cans. What's your 216 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: favorite beer? I mean, I like tropically these days, it 217 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: comes can right, Okay, there you go. All right, So 218 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: I got a tall boy of tropically changed my mind, 219 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: changed my mind. We got younger listeners that listen, so, 220 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: but I also don't want to necessarily push coke on them. 221 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: How about, um, does does the it's a white cloth can? 222 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: Does um the topo Chico come in a can? Let's 223 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: say it does? Okay, I always have mine in a bottle, 224 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: but let's say it comes in a can, all right, 225 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: just for the sake of moving on. Alright, So you 226 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: got that topo cheeko can. And it is a conductor 227 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: of electricity, which basically means that you know, these things 228 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: have electrons and protons in them, and they can be 229 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: both positively and negatively charged. If it was always uh electric, 230 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: you would you'd go to pick up that topa Chico 231 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: and just get shocked, right it. But it's not. Itself 232 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: doesn't carry a charge, and an electrical charges the force. 233 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: That's the force of electricity. Um. When it's on the move, 234 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: that's a current, and a conductor allows electricity to move 235 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: through it. That's right, like those car tires right right now, 236 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: that's the uh and the it can be positive or negative. 237 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: It really just depends on the count of how many 238 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: electrons to how many protons. Has an equal number, it's 239 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: going to be neutral, obviously, it's has more protons, it's 240 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: gonna have a positive charge more electrons, it's gonna be 241 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: negatively charged. And then if you're a conductor like that can, 242 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: there are lots of loose electrons flying around inside that. 243 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: They're free to move about and do their business. Right, 244 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: So one way to look at an electrical current as 245 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: it goes from one thing through the next thing that 246 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: it's applied to, and it does that by exciting those 247 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: free electrons that are able to move. They start moving 248 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: and they basically carry the electrical charge through that that 249 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: the current through the conductor. But under normal circumstances, you 250 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: just got all the positively charged stuff of the negatively 251 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: charged stuff hanging out not doing anything. And so that's why, 252 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: like you're saying, you can pick up that that topo 253 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: Chico can and it's not going to electric It's just 254 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: a conductor. Right. But let's say that I was a 255 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: superhero with electricity. I was electron Man, and my hand 256 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: like carried a charge. What are the current The fans 257 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:54,239 Speaker 1: of electron Man would be the electron e X electronic 258 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: x uh. And let's say I reach for that topo 259 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: Chico Can with my my electrically charged end. Then you're 260 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: in business because what happens then is you're gonna have 261 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: an opposite thing going on. All of those particles will separate, 262 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: those electrons in those protons that are normally just com 263 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: mingling out. Normally they're all fine under normal circumstances, but 264 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they separate, and all of the 265 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: charge coming towards me would be the opposite, which would 266 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: be protons. So if you're it depends are you you 267 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: as as oh you're electron man, Yes, you would be 268 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: negatively charged for sure, Yeah, there or also just be 269 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: a total misnown that's right. So the protons are going 270 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: to be attracted to the electrons in this case, or 271 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: holes I saw. Electron holes is another thing that that 272 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: starts flowing toward a negative charge. I've never heard of 273 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: them before. I hadn't either, And this is called electrostatic induction. 274 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: When you separate out the positive from negative charge and 275 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: a conductor. That's right, and they're on the opposite sides 276 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: of that topo Chico Can. As soon as my hand 277 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: touches that thing exactly. Okay, so that makes a lot 278 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: of sense. That's basically what Ben Franklin was observing, and 279 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: he couldn't quite figure it out. And this is what 280 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: Michael Faraday recreated and was able to explain that when 281 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: you take a charged and electrically charged external object and 282 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 1: apply it to a conductor, the opposite of whatever that 283 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: charges is going to go toward it. The particles that 284 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: are the same charge, you're going to move away from it. Yeah, 285 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: they're repelled by it. And you have a good point 286 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: in here. We talk We used to talk a lot 287 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: about homeostasis, and that's kind of what's going on here, 288 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: is that those negative electrons I want to cancel out 289 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: that charge coming at them with my electrified hand and 290 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,239 Speaker 1: just get back to neutral. They want to hang out 291 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: with the protons again exactly, So they're trying to offset 292 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: that positive charge with their own their own charge. But um, 293 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: so that the negative electrons and the positive holes I 294 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: guess create an electrical field on the outside, but it 295 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: keeps that electrical charge to the outside. This is what 296 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: Faraday found. It stays outside. On the inside, there is 297 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: no electrical charge. What doesn't quite make sense until you 298 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: start to dig into it a little more. And it 299 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: has to do with that electrostatic conduction where the positively 300 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: charged stuff moves to the inside, the negative stuff moves 301 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: to the outside, and because the inside is positively charged 302 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: and the positive charge is also on the outside, they 303 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: cancel one another out, so there is no charge on 304 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 1: the inside, right, And that's why Ben Franklin's corkball just 305 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: sat there, didn't do anything when you put it down 306 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: in there. And that's why I mean, I guess, Topo Chico, 307 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: it's a bad example because I would have a liquid 308 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: in there. Well, we drank it already, all right, we 309 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: drank it all Yeah, we opened up that can. It's 310 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: a giant Topo Chico can that we are standing in 311 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: totally unharmed because the electrostatic current is kept outside. Because 312 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 1: here's there are a couple of things that far Day 313 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: figured out that a conductor does in this sense that 314 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: creates what we understand is a Faraday cage, and that 315 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: it keeps a charge from developing on the inside. Um 316 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: because it distributes the electric electrostatic charge just to the outside. 317 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: It keeps it outside, and so it acts as a shield. 318 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: It actually shields a charge from coming inside. So when 319 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: you're inside a Faraday cage, whether it's a giant topo 320 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: Chico cane, or your car or an airplane, you're actually 321 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: protected from being shocked or electrocuted by the electrical field 322 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: that is distributed strictly to the outside of the conductor. Yeah, 323 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: and it's this shield that that's where the application of 324 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: this really comes into play. Otherwise it would just be 325 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: kind of a fun experiment. But then humans are like, wait, 326 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: this is actually pretty important because we can use this stuff. Um, 327 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: how effective that shield is h is really dependent on 328 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: what kind of Faraday cage you have. It can be 329 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: depends on the metal that you're using, and how conductive 330 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: it is, depends on the size of Like if it's 331 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: a mesh, it depends on how big the holes are. 332 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: If it's like your old plaster and laugh walls in 333 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: your house, you might realize that you don't get as 334 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: good as an Internet signal in one room of your 335 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: home that might still have that plaster and laugh. Yes, 336 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: Because so there's a second thing that Faraday cages do 337 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: their magic. I said, they're really weird. It doesn't make 338 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: any sense, but this is just what they figured out happens. 339 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: The second thing that it does is remember I said 340 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: that electro magnetic waves like radio waves, gamma waves, X rays, microwaves, Yeah, microwaves, UM, 341 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: those are a there. They're basically from the same family 342 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: as an electrical current UM. And so the Faraday cage 343 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: actually prevents their intrusion as well. So the second thing 344 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: it does is prevent these kind of waves from coming in. Uh. 345 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: And it all depends on what it's made from. And 346 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: you know what the size and shape of the Faraday cages, 347 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: right or getting out in the case of a microwave. 348 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: If you look at that door of your microwave and 349 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: you see a little grid pattern, that's a fair Day cage. 350 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: I say we take another break and then come back 351 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: and talk about some real life applications in addition to 352 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: microwaves of fair Day cages. What do you think, let's 353 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: do it stuck, stuck, stuck. I don't know that you 354 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: know it stuck in this stuck. That's a great name. 355 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: That's the name of it. It's a great name. All right. 356 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: You got your favor Day cage, your fair Day shield, 357 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: your RF cage, radio frequency all these are just different 358 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: names for the same thing. Your e m F cage 359 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 1: Electromotive force cage, your KLF cage, Sure, kmf DM cage. 360 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: Uh what was k What was the first one? He said, 361 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: KLF K Yeah what was that? Was that a group, 362 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: the KLF. Yeah, but they had like one song they 363 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: had were one hit wonder. Basically, I think they were 364 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: the ones that set a million pounds on fire. I 365 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: bet they regret that they did. They actually held a 366 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: very um unsuccessful Kickstarter they that million pounds back years later. 367 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: I was about to make a joke and say kickstarter, 368 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: but they really did, Yes, they did. Um, maybe they'll 369 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: write us. I think it was KALF km DM, I 370 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: can't remember. It might have been KMFDM. Who was it 371 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: that we thought was writing us at one point? But 372 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: it was a fake Louis Bega. Yeah they got as 373 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: good now? Am I okay to talk about that? The 374 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 1: Loue Bega incident. It's a good band name. Jerry's over here, 375 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: laugh is he remembers up bigger for the Loue Bega 376 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: ins Like, he even uses his picture on his Twitter handle. 377 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: We're like, oh, well that checks, yeah, yeah, that's it's 378 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: loup Vega. He's verified the Mama number five guy. Um oh, 379 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: he wasn't even verified. That was the dopes. Such dopes. 380 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: So we have been talking a lot about the fair 381 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: day cage and what they can be used for. And 382 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: one of the things that can be used for is like, 383 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: let's say you're in a lab, in a science lab 384 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: and you want to conduct an experiment and a truly 385 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: neutral setting with no electromagnetic field at all, because nothing 386 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: going on. We said, these are energy waves that are 387 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: just flowing through the air. Just because you can't see him, 388 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're not there. But yeah, so it can 389 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: affect a lot of experiment. So you might want to 390 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: have a fair day cage built for your science lab. 391 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: That's a big one. If you are at a university 392 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: that's more than a two bit university, they're probably going 393 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: to have Faraday cages here there around some of their 394 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: labs for sure. Yeah, of course, you want to go 395 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: to a hospital and uh, look for a fair day cage. 396 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: Go take me to the m r I lab and 397 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: they'll say, yes, sir, click their heels together and take 398 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: you to see a fair day cage. Because um, that 399 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: either the m r I machine or possibly the room 400 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: that the m r I machine is in. Maybe even 401 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: both are outfitted with Faraday cages because for the same 402 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: reason as when you're protecting your lab, you don't want 403 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: the the electromagnetic radiation interfering with the data that the 404 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: m r I is taking in and screwing up the picture. 405 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: And they'd be like, good lord, this guy's gotta tumor 406 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: in the size of a watermelon on its side. Oh wait, 407 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: we forgot to build this in a fair day cage. Yeah, 408 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: it's not to protect. It's not like an X ray. 409 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: It's not to protect m r I juice from spreading 410 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: through the hospital. I don't know. I think it's to 411 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: protect the day. That definitely is, But I wonder if 412 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: it's two fold or do But then you'd have to 413 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: have two fair Day cages working in opposite directions, and 414 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: then the universe might fold in on its off in 415 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: that situe. It's true I mentioned airplanes earlier as a teaser. 416 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: Cars don't get struck by lightning a lot, but you'll 417 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: be very scared to know that airplanes do get struck 418 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: by lightning quite a bit. I don't think I've been 419 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: in a plane that was struck by lightning, but I've 420 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: been in situations where it's possible. But this is probably 421 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: a really dumb question, like would it make a big 422 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: thunder boom right then? I don't know. I don't think 423 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: that's a dumb question. That's a great question, because I 424 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: would say then you would probably know if the whole 425 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: plane just went kaboom. The other way that you can 426 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: tell is if you end up in an alternate universe 427 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: that the Langoliers are eating. That's the other way to 428 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: know your plane was struck by lightning. But the airplane 429 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: is fine, all the equipment, all the people inside are fine. 430 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: With Balki, no less. Did you ever see that? No? Okay, 431 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: it was pretty bad. What was it? It was a 432 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: Stephen King made for TV movie starring Balki. Yeah, and 433 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 1: it was bad. What was it called? The Langoliers? All right, 434 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: I mean just bad. I was just because you're saying 435 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: funny words. Okay, that's good enough for me. As long 436 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: as I'm getting laughs out of you, that's all I 437 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: care about. Uh So, Yeah, that plane is a Faraday cage. 438 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: Um buildings can probably not purposely be built as a 439 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: fair day cage, but they can act as that. Well, 440 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: it's like that that laugh, um the wire mesh laugh 441 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: that that you apply the past plaster two you're talking 442 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: about also with um poured concrete, reinforced concrete. Right, the 443 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: rebar in there, if you, you know, build a large 444 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: enough structure, the rebar can accidentally act as a Faraday cage. 445 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: And we said, depending on what electromagnetic radiation you're trying 446 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: to keep out, you actually want to a tune that attenuate. 447 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: I guess the size of the mesh or the grid pattern, 448 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: whatever the chain link fence, it'll keep some stuff out 449 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: depending on the size of the hole being based on 450 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: the wavelength of the wave. If the wavelength is bigger 451 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: than the whole, it can actually be kept out. If 452 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: the wave link is smaller than the whole, then it's 453 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: going to pass through fairly easily. And even if you do, um, 454 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: make it just right, it's still probably not going to 455 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: be a perfect Fairday cage, as evidenced in the case 456 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: of a microwave. Right. Yeah, Like if you put your phone, 457 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: your cell phone in a microwave and shut the door, 458 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: don't turn it on, no, but if you just put 459 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: it in there and called it, it would probably bring Yeah, 460 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 1: probably even though your phone operates on microwaves. Um, but 461 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: you your microwave just isn't perfect. And I've seen everywhere 462 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: where this explained follows up with don't worry, You're not 463 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: going to be affected by the microwave radiation. Um, Like, 464 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: there's like certain standards for leakage that have to be 465 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: met in the developed world if you're selling a microwave 466 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: or buying a microwave. So I still don't stand in 467 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: front of a microwave. You probably shouldn't, you know, just 468 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: in case. But then now, Chuck, we've kind of traps 469 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: into the territory where Faraday cage is have really kind 470 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: of made a big appearance in the consumer market, which 471 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: is things like protecting from uh e m F allergies. 472 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: Oh right, Like, um, better call Saul's brother on the show. Well, 473 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: Michael McKeon is a character. He plays a character. He plays, Um, 474 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: Saul's brother and Um, he has a allergy to electromagnetic 475 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: radiation allergy or is it in his head? Well, I 476 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: mean they explore it like it's in his head, but 477 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: they also explore it like it's you know, from his viewpoint, 478 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: it's happen, it's real, and it's basically the no cebo 479 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: effect is how I've seen it explain. But there are 480 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there, and you'll see in 481 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: this show where he's wearing like um, a solar blanket, 482 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: like a metallic blanket that he believes is is um 483 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, blocking electromagnetic radiation, everything from visible light to 484 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: radio waves, to gamma rays to X rays, all of 485 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: this energy flying through there. Some people believe that it 486 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: has a pernicious effect on your health. For everything I've 487 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: seen scientific wise says that is not the case. But 488 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: there's still obviously there's people who are like, no, there's 489 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: this one study once that found this and it says 490 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: that your cells are not happy when they're exposed radio ways, 491 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,479 Speaker 1: which is why I were a foil line suit whenever 492 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: I leave the house kind of thing. And it's a 493 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: real it's sad. It's very sad, especially if it's not true. 494 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: It's just as sad if it is correct. These people 495 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: are suffering and nobody can help them, right, you know, 496 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: just like with the ham or Morgellons who said it 497 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: was it Fauci? Oh man? Was it that rat? Yeah? 498 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: Like I didn't know anything. Uh, should we leave that 499 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: in here? It's a joke. We'll find out. Okay, we'll see, 500 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: we'll test our own temperature. And the uh they do 501 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: power utility line line lines workers. Sometimes they'll have these 502 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: special suits and if you have an E. M f 503 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,479 Speaker 1: UM allergy, you probably want to get your hand. That's right. Uh, 504 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: you know, that's how one of my granddad's died. I 505 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: think I've told that story before. He was a power 506 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: lineman lineman, uh not which a tall Tennessee man. I 507 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: didn't know that. Yeah, he got zapped in the top 508 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: of a telephone polling and knocked him out to the 509 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: ground and it didn't immediately kill him. It is essentially 510 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: what killed him. Yeah, how long did he linger? I 511 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean I was he died when I 512 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: was like five ish silently remember meeting him like once, 513 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: and he was you know, he had a hospital bed 514 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: in his house and my grandmother was a nurse, so 515 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: she basically just kind of cared for him for the 516 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: rest of his life. Oh so this wasn't like a 517 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: couple of days later like he know, he lived for 518 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: years after with like brain damage and uh, yeah, I 519 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: wonder how much of it was from hitting his head 520 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: and how much of it was from the juice. Well, 521 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: I think most of it was from the fall, but 522 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: if technically that's what caused the fall, so I was Yeah, 523 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't a very good guy. I'm not saying he 524 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: deserve that. He didn't deserve that, but yeah, he wasn't 525 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: a good person. I got you so feel bad ish, No, 526 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: you don't want bad things to happen to anyone or 527 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: maybe Hilter, Yeah, did Hilter do these paintings all time? 528 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: Great man? The government they're also obviously going to protect 529 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: sensitive equipment. Uh, they're going to build special rooms. Yes, yes, 530 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: because here's the thing. If you are afraid of electromagnetic 531 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: radiation going through you and you're trying to keep it out, 532 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: you can also keep electromagnetic radiation from escaping. Yeah, Like, 533 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: if you want to tell sensitive secret ers and sensitive documents, 534 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a special room in the White House 535 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: or the Pentagon that is tricked out to to shield, uh, 536 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: to keep anyone from listening in. Basically, it has essentially 537 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: a reverse Faraday cage keeps the electromagnetic radiation from leaking out, 538 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: which sounds like who cares if electromagnetic radiation leaks out 539 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: from a computer? Screen or um, you know, the an 540 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: ethernet cable or something like that. It turns out you 541 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: can actually tell you can gain information from capturing this 542 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: leakage and converting it into data. Yeah, what was the 543 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: guy with the I mean, this is a little scary 544 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: considering what's going on in this country right now. But 545 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: was it in Holland? It is I'm not really scared 546 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: by this. I think it kind of goes to show 547 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: just how yeah, far fetched, it's excellent, Chuck far fetched. 548 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: The guy named rock gun Grip, who is a Dutch 549 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: computer expert. That's how you say Dutch names, by the way, Um, like, 550 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: you have no idea what you're talking about. Uh, he uh, 551 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: figured out that you can electronically eaves drop or electromagnetically 552 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: eaves drop on the voting machines that they were using 553 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: in the Netherlands. Um. And he showed that he could 554 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: gather the refresh rate, or he could determine that the 555 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: refresh rate on the computer screen slowed down when a 556 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: name that had an accent or a special character was 557 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: being displayed, and he was able to take this leakage 558 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: from like or something like that from these voting machines 559 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: converted into a sound. And when somebody from the Christian 560 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: Democrat is Appeal party and the e has an accent 561 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: over it was voted for, the tone actually changed. That's interesting. 562 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: So he could say they got one vote or something 563 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: like that, but not manipulate that vote. No, but I 564 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: could see in this country that story being dug up 565 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: and used, you know, right by dummies for sure. But 566 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: the point is that this guy can do something like that. 567 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: You can bet that like a very well to do 568 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: state that wanted to electromagnetically eaves job could probably glean 569 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: some pretty import and stuff. So, yes, you probably do 570 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: want to put your most sensitive conversations government state secrets 571 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: in a Faraday cage enclosed room. But the average person's 572 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: vote is not going to be you know, in jeopardy 573 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: by rope going grip. You know, I read about this 574 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: guy from Holland or the Netherlands or someplace like that. 575 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: Who's that Alec Baldwin. Yeah it was Alec Baldwin. I'll 576 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: tell you who else might have Some Faraday cages are 577 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: like preppers, survivalists, They probably have Faraday cage or two. 578 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: They may be homemade hate rope gone grip. Yeah, I 579 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: can't stand that guy. No, but that's they worry that 580 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: um of electromagnetic pulses, which we talked a lot about 581 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: in the space Weather episode. You remember we I mean 582 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: we said like, if if one of these things didn't 583 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: happen from space weather or from a bad actor um 584 00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 1: one of the others, uh, you can really lose all 585 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: of your electronics, which is another reason people build fair 586 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: day cages, not just keep out or keep their their 587 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: their own electronics from leaking information, from keeping electronic um 588 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 1: uh noise from coming in and disrupting their own stuff. 589 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: If a big one hit, it could just blow your 590 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: circuits right out the human body. Your electronics they're designed 591 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: to use and run on electricity, but only a certain amount. 592 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: When you overload that amount that the system tends to fail. 593 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: And that's why survivalists and preppers believe in things like 594 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: Faraday cages to protect their equipment. Right. The problem is 595 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: when you take it out and use it, if space 596 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: weather actually happened, right, then your fair day cage is 597 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: useless because you're outside of it. Yeah, and I guess 598 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: if you're really uh, sort of paranoid and have a 599 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: lot of money, you can have your home. There's this 600 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: place called Holland Shielding that makes a wallpaper with copper 601 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: woven into it to prevent someone from eavesdropping on you. 602 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: I also saw there's something called mew metal and it's 603 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: like an iron nickel alloy that works really well for 604 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: that too. I gotta coming over next week. That's awesome 605 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 1: and put that all over my house. Are you prepping 606 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: these days? I'm prepping for a nap than fluffing that pillow? Yeah? Yeah? 607 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: What else? A little warm milk. I've been able to 608 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,760 Speaker 1: nap a little bit these days. It's good. I still can't. 609 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: I still can't. Nope. Do you try every once in 610 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: a great while? And now, can you mean nap? Noah, 611 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: we're not nappers. Yeah, I I enjoy a nap. Have 612 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: kind of embraced the the true siesta. Like you know, 613 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: I get up really early, I stay up really late. 614 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: I don't get a lot of sleep at night, but 615 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: I'll try and get a thirty minute nap in at 616 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: some point and it's working pretty well. What do you 617 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: do at night? I mean, that's my time. When you 618 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: got a little kid, that's like once they go to bed, 619 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: You're like, that's your time? How late, you stay up, 620 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: and Ry he's nodding, Uh, you know, I'll stay up. 621 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: I mean it depends. I'll go through phases where I'm 622 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: in bed at ten thirty, but usually I'm a midnight man. 623 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: It's what I like to call. And then on the 624 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 1: weekends that stretches into like one am. What time do 625 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: you get up? I usually get up around six thirty 626 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: or seven. Ye wake up six thirty or seven. So yeah, 627 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm about a six hour a night guy. Maybe a 628 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: thirty minutes you need. Yeah, I think we talked about it. 629 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: You're getting up early these days. I get crazy emails 630 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: from you, and so early in all cats. Yeah, I know. 631 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: I actually try very hard to be cognizant of what 632 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm emailing you early in the morning because I know 633 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,959 Speaker 1: it might be some of the first stuff you see, 634 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: and I don't want it to be like, hey, we 635 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: gotta do this, this guy is falling. I've been good 636 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: about the not opening my email though till to work 637 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: hours and then shutting it down. You know. That's Jerry 638 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: had to talk with me once where she's like, I 639 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: don't know if you should email people on the weekends 640 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: in the evenings or whatever. I'm like, what do you mean? 641 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: And then I stopped and thought, I was like totally. 642 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: So I've adopted that as well as best Like what 643 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: you do? You just make a note email dumb, dumb 644 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: at nine am on Monday. Sure, so I use the 645 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: drafts folder. Now, okay, I just don't send it. Yeah, 646 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: or do that? Don't even make a note. I don't 647 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: even need to know. This is like an extra superfluous step. 648 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: I write the email, I just don't send it. I 649 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: leave it in the draft. That is very smart. So 650 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: you want to wrap this up, yeah, let's wrap it up. Well, 651 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: if you want to know more about fairy day cage, 652 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: just go check your car out. Uh And since I 653 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 1: said that, it's tempt the listener, ma'am. Oh wait, wait, 654 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: there's one other thing, Chuck. If you are have a 655 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: car and it's a convertible, look out, it doesn't have 656 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: a fairy day cage. You're very susceptible to lightning, which 657 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: is another explanation for why your tires don't actually save you. 658 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: Because if you're in a convertible car, it's not a 659 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: fair day cage. So your toast all right, no listener mail, 660 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this the next email in my inbox, 661 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: And this is actually good because rarely do we read 662 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: uh suggestions for episodes on the air, But this is 663 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: a good one, and I think we're gonna want to 664 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: do this because it also ties in with today's episode. Okay, 665 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 1: today's special. Hey guys riding in with the topic proposition. 666 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: I think it would fit perfectly to what you're doing. Eels. 667 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: Oh that's a great idea, electrical eels. I don't know 668 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: if I ever would have thought about that, I probably wouldn't. 669 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: Let me see who this is. This is um Michael 670 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 1: Michael from Poland. Michael says that it no, no, no. 671 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: Michael goes on to say they're just incredible creatures. And 672 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: it was mind blowing to me when I discovered that 673 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: we still do not know much about them. Have you 674 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: ever eaten meal like sushi? Of course? Yeah, I buy 675 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: that at the Japanese market and cook it at home. 676 00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: Oh you do yourself, huh, you just bake it in 677 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: the oven. Still delicious. There's not much to look at 678 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: the foyer. They taste good. Uh. Freud, before going into psychoanalysis, 679 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: studied eels trying to find their reproductive system, a feat 680 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: not yet achieve. For thousands of years, all European eels 681 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: come from one place, the Sargasso Sea. Eels travel thousands 682 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: of miles after their born. I just wouldn't I didn't 683 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: want to read the parenthetical. Eels travel thousands of miles 684 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: after they were born to the lakes wells in Europe 685 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: and then come back when they feel they're ready to 686 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: undergo metamorphosis and reproduce. Let me see what else. For 687 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: many years people thought they were observing different species of eels, 688 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: but in fact they were the same eels at just 689 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 1: different stages of their life. But so we basically did 690 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: a mini episode on eels with special guests Michael sort of. 691 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: Michael also sens a New Yorker article a book called 692 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: the Book of Eels, says, ps, I love what you're 693 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: doing and how you're making interesting topics approachable with your 694 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: great and easy going attitude. Keep it up. All the 695 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: best from Poland. I hope I can see live one day. 696 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: And that's from Macao. I would definitely go to Poland 697 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: for a show. I would too, Yeah, cool, I've never 698 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: been to Poland. I have anything, let's do it close 699 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: as I've been is Hungary. Yeah, same here you've been hungry? Sure? Great? 700 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: Which side did you stay on? We stayed on the 701 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: pest side, but we you know, went back and forth. 702 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: We also went to that um, that Turkish bath that 703 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: the beginning of Red Heat was filmed in. Okay, it's 704 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: really awesome. I don't remember which side I stayed on, 705 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: to be honest, it was so many years ago, so 706 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: the left or the right? I remember? You don't remember now, 707 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, this was thirty years ago. Okay, 708 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: the twenty seven years ago. This was two fifteen, I 709 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: think from me, I was drunk on bulls blood wine. 710 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: I remember that you're talking about. Yeah, it's very cheap. Yeah. Yeah, 711 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: Either you told me about that before or else I 712 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: saw it myself. I don't think I tried it. Well, 713 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: thanks a lot, Michael, Michael um And that was a 714 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,919 Speaker 1: great idea in an EELS episode will be forthcoming one day. 715 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 1: If you want to suggest a really great topic, we 716 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: love that kind of thing.
