Speaker 1: I hope we're gonna talk about Vegas.
Speaker 2: Well, hold on, wait what you already started it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready.
Speaker 1: It's called being considerate of other people's times. I got
Speaker 1: the engineer waiting on us patiently with baited breath, if
Speaker 1: you will, and he said, you guys, finish the pod
Speaker 1: and then I'll jump in. That's called being a team player.
Speaker 1: That's what iheart's all about.
Speaker 2: I know, it's good cross pollination, it's good teamwork. We
Speaker 2: are all about teamwork because teamwork, you know, what they
Speaker 2: say makes me makes me the dream work.
Speaker 1: I thought it was makes the Weien work.
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying, Well, it depends what team you're doing. Ah,
Speaker 2: you're talking about the husband and wifes and it in
Speaker 2: a significant other. It does make the Wien work, just
Speaker 2: depending on how that is, you know.
Speaker 1: I hope you got a good bit prepared.
Speaker 2: Oh I do have a great bit. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: freezing cold. My toes are suffering from frostbite. I've been
Speaker 2: trying to walk around to thaw them out. Go in
Speaker 2: the bathroom to take a pee, and it might be
Speaker 2: colder in the bathroom than it is anywhere in this building.
Speaker 2: How is it on the inside of the building and
Speaker 2: it is colder than anywhere else on the planet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and are they addressing it? Is my question. I've
Speaker 1: heard mumblings, rumblings that something with there's only two different
Speaker 1: heat ducks or something, so maybe it doesn't disperse the
Speaker 1: air like how we want it to.
Speaker 2: Is that why the guy, the gentleman, the older gentleman,
Speaker 2: not sure what he does around here, but he has
Speaker 2: been sitting in various spots throughout the building, just randomly
Speaker 2: sitting in these chairs you walk around. He says, it
Speaker 2: looks like he's just looking out the.
Speaker 1: Window, but he's testing how it feels.
Speaker 2: But apparently he's testing different locations in the building to
Speaker 2: figure out where the heat is coming from. If the
Speaker 2: heat is getting to that spot, what's the circulation? Like,
Speaker 2: how long until you get frostbite if you sit by
Speaker 2: this chair? Oh, let me walk over here and sit
Speaker 2: in this excuse me a page from sales. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: need you to move out of this desk. I need
Speaker 2: to see if you're getting the heat here. Oh, you
Speaker 2: got a call coming in, I'll take I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know what he is. He does, He work for
Speaker 2: our company or the building. He needed the exact heat thermometer,
Speaker 2: temperature barometer, if you will, of my desk. He sat
Speaker 2: on my lap. It's very interesting.
Speaker 1: I was like, if you need it, get it.
Speaker 2: And then when you had to play a voicemail and
Speaker 2: he hit the wrong button, It's like, dude, stop, you
Speaker 2: don't touch the buttons. And it was very awkward. It
Speaker 2: was weird to see because I'm used to seeing three
Speaker 2: people in the glassroom, you, Scuba and Abby. Uh, and
Speaker 2: there was four people in there. It's very weird.
Speaker 1: Well, and then he needed to get the exact temperature
Speaker 1: near Abby's legs because her legs have been getting cold. Oh,
Speaker 1: she sat on his face.
Speaker 2: That's weird. But he got the reading good and maybe
Speaker 2: we will see some improvement after the new year.
Speaker 3: Are you freaking cudding me?
Speaker 2: What's this guy's name?
Speaker 1: Freaking playing tunxil tugs with Abby?
Speaker 2: We don't know his name, dude, we don't even know
Speaker 2: he works for us or the building. Sorry, Arnold, didn't
Speaker 2: mean to upset you.
Speaker 1: So what if he did a little tonsil skiing with
Speaker 1: your girlfriend?
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was a little weird. It is a
Speaker 2: little weird to see him walking around the building kind
Speaker 2: of just camping out and doing I don't know.
Speaker 1: What, but that's what he is. He's the expert for that.
Speaker 1: You're the bears expert. He is the heat expert.
Speaker 2: How do you build a building this size, like this
Speaker 2: massive of a space, right.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing thirty thousand square feet and.
Speaker 2: You only have two places the heat comes out of
Speaker 2: the ducks like when you're engineering a place, don't you think, okay,
Speaker 2: I need this? I mean, I have two air vents
Speaker 2: in my bedroom. Whoa where the heat comes out? So
Speaker 2: how can you only have two in this whole freaking building?
Speaker 1: Low key flex? We have one, so you might have
Speaker 1: similar heating.
Speaker 2: I got a question, does yours come out of the wall?
Speaker 2: Mine too?
Speaker 1: I believe floor is probably the option for a lot
Speaker 1: of homes.
Speaker 2: I thought that that's the older homes. I thought the
Speaker 2: newer homes it was always on the wall or the ceiling.
Speaker 1: No, we're floor. I mean maybe. Obviously we cut a
Speaker 1: couple of corners to be able to field this puppy.
Speaker 1: And what I realized is you would never think so
Speaker 1: we had a couch over one of the vents in
Speaker 1: our room. There's it's a nook where you can put
Speaker 1: a couch. It's not a low key flex. It needed
Speaker 1: a couch there. Otherwise it's a dead space. So why'd
Speaker 1: you build it? Because we flipped it around and great question.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was supposed to be this big bay window
Speaker 1: and we just did a couple cheaper window options. So
Speaker 1: now there's this space where we really don't.
Speaker 2: Need low key flex so you could afford it correct,
Speaker 2: got it.
Speaker 1: There was supposed to be a different front door, and
Speaker 1: we said we don't need a front door. From twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. Boom, we go the throwback door. Save a
Speaker 1: bunch of money. Oh, we were supposed to have a
Speaker 1: huge sliding last thing for twenty thousand dollars. We said
Speaker 1: one thirty at the price of that, and guess what.
Speaker 1: They were just fine and they look probably just as good.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Those sliding glass doors look pretty cool.
Speaker 2: You just open them up and let.
Speaker 1: The air in. But my point is this, I hate
Speaker 1: to take from your story, but I didn't have a story.
Speaker 1: We the couch covered the vent and it changed the
Speaker 1: temperature in our bedroom by three or four degrees all
Speaker 1: because the heat was having to go around the couch
Speaker 1: and up instead of straight up. That makes a difference. Dude.
Speaker 2: You make a great point. All the box boys they've
Speaker 2: been in the guest bedroom. Because about seven months ago
Speaker 2: we had the hot water heater bust in the downstairs
Speaker 2: and it flooded the downstairs. That's a problem, and so
Speaker 2: we had to rip out all the flooring and we
Speaker 2: were gonna put new flooring down, and we were gonna
Speaker 2: have to cut off some of the wall, redo the wall,
Speaker 2: because you know, you don't want mold to get in there.
Speaker 2: You have the fans in there drying it out, and
Speaker 2: they kept coming in and trying to do temperature readings
Speaker 2: and moisture readings. They finally got that figured out.
Speaker 1: Moisturize this, and then.
Speaker 2: All the books that the boys used to read and
Speaker 2: look out, they're all wet. Pages are all stuck together.
Speaker 2: They're all stuck together. And my wife says, hey, how
Speaker 2: come you didn't clean up the wet books when you
Speaker 2: were doing tearing out the floor. I said, there is
Speaker 2: no way I missed those books. That is impossible that
Speaker 2: I missed those books. But then I sat there and
Speaker 2: I was like, well, maybe I didn't miss those books.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm just an idiot. I didn't realize they were wet,
Speaker 2: and I just stuck them in a pile and that's
Speaker 2: on me. M smash cut. A week later, it rains
Speaker 2: again and I go into the boy's room and there
Speaker 2: is water coming in the bottom of the walls. Jeez,
Speaker 2: bottom of the walls. And so you know what that screams.
Speaker 1: I'm not a contractor, foundation issues, geez.
Speaker 2: So I call my friends at Helo Tech. I said, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: look man, I got water coming in the bottom of
Speaker 2: my walls. And they come out and they check everything,
Speaker 2: and they said, all right, this is what's going on.
Speaker 2: You have a drainage system on the outside of your
Speaker 2: house that lasts about fifteen years, fifteen to twenty years,
Speaker 2: and yours has been it says, eighteen years, so they're
Speaker 2: probably all clogged. So that is why the water was
Speaker 2: coming in the bottom of the walls. So Helo Tech
Speaker 2: brought the and they dug out. They excavated my backyard, Yes,
Speaker 2: dug a big old hole, put in a whole new
Speaker 2: drainage system, and then filled it back up, put the
Speaker 2: gravel there. Boom, no more water coming in the bottom
Speaker 2: of the house.
Speaker 1: Fix the moat.
Speaker 2: He'l attached to the rescue. But this is where I'm
Speaker 2: going to get to my point. Then we have to
Speaker 2: reput the walls together, we have to paint the rooms.
Speaker 2: We still have to put the new flooring down. So
Speaker 2: the boys have been sleeping in a spare bedroom, in
Speaker 2: the guest bedroom. What's up, Scoop, How you doing man?
Speaker 2: Your friend Chris? Oh, thanks, man, he's.
Speaker 1: Just talking about sleeping arrangements for his kids at his house.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, turn on his mic.
Speaker 3: You guys don't sleep the same bed together like a
Speaker 3: lion den.
Speaker 2: No, you do that, I do do that? Yeah, and
Speaker 2: you get no sleep?
Speaker 3: No, I get great sleep.
Speaker 4: Actually, my oldest finally left the bed and he now
Speaker 4: sleeps in his own room.
Speaker 2: But wow, what made him do that?
Speaker 4: It was a combination of my wife being like, hey,
Speaker 4: you're six, you need to get in your own bedroom.
Speaker 4: And then I think one of the sense of independence
Speaker 4: because he was going in his second grade and he's like, hey,
Speaker 4: I feel like I need to be my own room.
Speaker 4: And he's had a room he just only played and
Speaker 4: it never slept in it. And but my now five
Speaker 4: year old and two year old sleep with me and
Speaker 4: my wife.
Speaker 2: What about the kicking in the they don't kick.
Speaker 1: They don't kick.
Speaker 3: No, they don't kick. They cuddle.
Speaker 2: See, my oldest one doesn't really move around. The middle one,
Speaker 2: he is like a statue. The third one, oh my god,
Speaker 2: he will flip upside down. He'll be sideway. Like when
Speaker 2: we travel and we're in hotels and we have to
Speaker 2: share a bed, it is like you get kicked in
Speaker 2: the rich I mean, you don't get a good night's sleep. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: it's awful. Like you wake up and there's a foot
Speaker 2: in your face and our hands hitting you in the face.
Speaker 2: It's like never good sleep.
Speaker 4: I think, looking at it now, because my wife sleeps
Speaker 4: with the youngest one, I think I hear her a
Speaker 4: lot being like, oh stop. So I think the youngest
Speaker 4: one does like like somersaults that are sleep yes, and
Speaker 4: the middle child is like a statue.
Speaker 3: Just sits there and just happy to be a part
Speaker 3: of the family.
Speaker 2: It's weird how that works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. I think I think we kind
Speaker 3: of mirror what your kids are like.
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes I go in and the youngest is
Speaker 2: his head is under the pillow, under the cushions or
Speaker 2: the blankets, and his feet is on the pill and
Speaker 2: I'm like how did that happen?
Speaker 3: And how are you breathing the whole night like that?
Speaker 2: Exactly? Yeah, I'll be suffocated and they're hanging off halfway
Speaker 2: off the bed and it's like, how did that happen?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't. I do have no idea, but we
Speaker 3: enjoy it. We like it. I feel it's made confident kids.
Speaker 3: And I mean everyone does their own thing. Everyone. There's
Speaker 3: no right or wrong answer.
Speaker 2: No, there is right or wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well then the right way is to sleep together.
Speaker 2: No, it's absolutely not.
Speaker 4: Yes, it is any animal kingdom. Look at all the mammals.
Speaker 4: We're the only mammals the entire animal kingdom that kick
Speaker 4: kids out of the bed immediately. Everyone else, lions and
Speaker 4: around the circle of life, they all sleep together as
Speaker 4: a pack.
Speaker 1: Well you know human and you know guaranteed even guy
Speaker 1: dagg it. You know.
Speaker 2: What happens then is later the animals stay with their
Speaker 2: parents forever.
Speaker 3: No, no, they get kicked out.
Speaker 4: They do their own Like Sima doesn't stay with mom
Speaker 4: and dad forever because he thought it was his fault. Well,
Speaker 4: true that, but the but then I guess Nala stays
Speaker 4: around with the pack. Yeah, okay, I see your point.
Speaker 2: Things I see what I'm saying. So then when they
Speaker 2: get older, they think, oh, I had to be with
Speaker 2: my mom and dad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I guess we're living that experiment now,
Speaker 3: so we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: How have you gone through growing pains with your oldest
Speaker 2: going out of the room? Does he like feel weird?
Speaker 4: And I still he like when it first happened, he
Speaker 4: was very nervous, and so every night I had to
Speaker 4: go in there, and I'll almost almost.
Speaker 3: Sleep with him every night in his bed. But then
Speaker 3: then he started to do his own thing.
Speaker 4: And then so now I still take him and, you know,
Speaker 4: tuck him in and I'll cuddle them for like five
Speaker 4: or ten minutes. And then I hear Steven come to
Speaker 4: bed and I'm like halfway a sleep, and I wake
Speaker 4: up and then I run to bed.
Speaker 3: So he still needs to be like tucked in and
Speaker 3: cuddled a little bit.
Speaker 1: Let me give this small example. It's probably terrible, but
Speaker 1: there was a bird living in our house. We let
Speaker 1: it make the nest in the corner of our outdoor house,
Speaker 1: and all the little birdlings were right there with the bird. Well,
Speaker 1: guess how the bird taught thes to fly push him
Speaker 1: out that, and she led them into the road so
Speaker 1: that they would get scared by the traffic. And that
Speaker 1: is how they first did their wings. And not only
Speaker 1: did she do it once, she did it with every
Speaker 1: one of her birds.
Speaker 3: And so push them into traffic.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's how you guys can get ready of your kids.
Speaker 3: Push my kids right into traffic.
Speaker 1: Not that human example. She was got to get him
Speaker 1: out of the bed or so.
Speaker 2: Well, she was trying to see if her kids were
Speaker 2: fit to survive in this world. And if they got
Speaker 2: hit by a car, She's like, well, they didn't learn.
Speaker 1: Everyone got scared by the car and then started fluttering
Speaker 1: their wings and would learn to fly by that. That's
Speaker 1: pretty scary, and take them into traffic.
Speaker 3: Use that what a terrible mother.
Speaker 4: Ready, I have to go, boys, it's just fun.
Speaker 2: Hey man, thanks dude. Hey, we taught him to fly
Speaker 2: man Birdie's fly.
Speaker 1: Oh he just went off the patio.
Speaker 2: Oh no, So back to my kids.
Speaker 1: Are you taking a break?
Speaker 2: No, I got to finish the story about you had
Speaker 2: the after the break, the covered up vent.
Speaker 1: After the break.
Speaker 2: They've been sleeping in the guest bedroom and we have
Speaker 2: a mattress because two of them sleep on one mattress.
Speaker 2: And then we have like a foal or a twin
Speaker 2: that one sleeps on and it's on the floor, and
Speaker 2: every once in a while it gets moved over and
Speaker 2: it's over the vent and they complain about being cold.
Speaker 2: Ye and I'm like, what, oh, you're on the vent.
Speaker 2: We move it back over. They're like, oh, Dad, that's
Speaker 2: so much better. So the floor vent is a big problem.
Speaker 2: If you cover it up, you don't get the same
Speaker 2: air as you used to.
Speaker 1: You need to. I'm curious. We do have the other vents.
Speaker 1: See Baser's office has the other vent. The right when
Speaker 1: you enter the house, there's in the other vent. Upstairs
Speaker 1: there's a ceiling vent.
Speaker 2: See, you don't have ceiling events. They're on the floor.
Speaker 1: Okay, father in law rock that. But guys, those floor
Speaker 1: events are very important. And hopefully the guy right around
Speaker 1: here this office figuring out the heat, he can learn
Speaker 1: about the floor vents.
Speaker 2: And after the break he's gonna come in and tell
Speaker 2: us what he's discovered. We'll be right back.
Speaker 5: So I was able to figure out what the barometer
Speaker 5: that the actual calculations of the heat in here is
Speaker 5: right around sixty nine six to seven. Uh here Abby
Speaker 5: if you wouldn't mind let me sit on your head
Speaker 5: and just see if this temperature works.
Speaker 1: Is that hot enough?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: My work here is done.
Speaker 5: Your temperature in this building is now six sven.
Speaker 2: Man. That was great scientific research things, man, but appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Now that you're gone, man, I think we can start
Speaker 2: the show now that you're gone. Yeah that our listeners
Speaker 2: really need to know the barometer and temperature.
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna do it live.
Speaker 2: We oh the one two three so loser? What up, everybody?
Speaker 2: I am lunchbox. I know the most about sports, so
Speaker 2: I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, because
Speaker 2: I'm pretty much a.
Speaker 1: Sports genius, y'all. It is sizzing from the North Alpha
Speaker 1: Male live on the north side of Nashville with two
Speaker 1: point three three three three three three acres and bays
Speaker 1: or my wife kids are the electrophysiology unit at Vanderbilt
Speaker 1: probably defrosting. Somebody needs to check on him, and I'll
Speaker 1: di have a heart attack when I'm seventy two and
Speaker 1: a half. That's all I gah. I had a rhyme
Speaker 1: at one point. I forget it over to you.
Speaker 2: Man, Ray, Christmas is rapidly approaching. We are a few
Speaker 2: days away before you're gonna wake up. You're gonna walk
Speaker 2: into whatever room that Christmas tree is if you celebrate Christmas,
Speaker 2: that is, and you're gonna see those presents under the tree,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna be like, oh, yes, the most wonderful
Speaker 2: time of year. Santa Claus has come. Not for the homeless,
Speaker 2: not for the homeless. But maybe they will find a
Speaker 2: present under a tree. Maybe it'll be a like half
Speaker 2: eaten cheeseburger. That's Christmas to them.
Speaker 1: It's a box of coke.
Speaker 2: And you're gonna be like, yes, I can't wait to
Speaker 2: see what someone got me. What a surprise. And you're
Speaker 2: gonna start ripping into those presents and some are gonna
Speaker 2: be good, some are gonna be bad. And my dad
Speaker 2: every year he has the same reaction to every present. Oh, alright,
Speaker 2: like it, love it or hate it, you would never know.
Speaker 1: It's a great reaction.
Speaker 2: It's a great reaction, and you can just wait for it,
Speaker 2: wait for it, oh all right, And sometimes thirty seconds later,
Speaker 2: what is it?
Speaker 1: Plug and play?
Speaker 2: Plug and play, he has the same reaction. It is
Speaker 2: a foul proof method. Well, last Christmas, Ray my in
Speaker 2: laws mainly my father in law sent me a gift
Speaker 2: and I opened it up.
Speaker 1: What was it like? See ring?
Speaker 2: And I am like, what could it be?
Speaker 1: This will improve it for us, Thank you, I appreciate it, Phil.
Speaker 2: And it was a brand new book. And I was like,
Speaker 2: so cool, because I don't mind reading a book. I
Speaker 2: like consuming some words on a page and you know,
Speaker 2: going page to page and then reaching the end and
Speaker 2: slamming that.
Speaker 1: Book shut, like Fifty Shades of Gray.
Speaker 2: Never read it, but yes, like that, or To Kill
Speaker 2: a Mockingbird or nineteen eighty four, those books that you
Speaker 2: read in high school.
Speaker 1: Ray Fifty Shades of Gray was a real slam it shut,
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: This one is by David N. Schwartz, The Last Man
Speaker 2: who Knew Everything, The Life and Times of Enrico Fermi,
Speaker 2: father of the Nuclear.
Speaker 1: Age, freaking written about Arnold and he put.
Speaker 2: A little post it note on there and he said,
Speaker 2: I don't know if they ever met you, because they
Speaker 2: would call you the most interesting man.
Speaker 1: In the world.
Speaker 3: I'm the interesting man in the world, do you mother?
Speaker 2: And so I'm like, great, I can't wait to read this.
Speaker 2: It looks thick, it's thick. It is let's see how
Speaker 2: many pages.
Speaker 1: This book is girthy.
Speaker 2: Even it's only like three hundred and sixty pages.
Speaker 1: I like sticking around six seven.
Speaker 2: Smart and I thought, okay, let me read about this book. Well,
Speaker 2: it's about some scientist and he was big with the
Speaker 2: atomic bomb and things like that and splitting particles. And
Speaker 2: it says, oh, the good news is you don't need
Speaker 2: to be an engineer or anything. We have dumbed this
Speaker 2: book down for the average reader.
Speaker 1: Do they talk about heat conductors at all? Because otherwise
Speaker 1: why is this useful?
Speaker 2: Well, it just talks about it. My father was a
Speaker 2: particle physicist. In nineteen sixty two, he and two of
Speaker 2: his colleagues conducted an experiment that demonstrated the existence of
Speaker 2: two distinct types of neutrons neutrens neutrino's, I don't know,
Speaker 2: ghostly sub atomic particles that can pass through hundreds of
Speaker 2: millions of miles of lead without bumping into a single atom.
Speaker 2: That was the first sentence of the book, right, try.
Speaker 1: Drivers just called in. They took a yellowjacket at a
Speaker 1: gas station and a bottle of surge and they almost
Speaker 1: fell a city. Paul driving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, this guy wrote all about this FIRMI guy,
Speaker 2: and he said, don't worry. You don't have to be
Speaker 2: a scientist. You don't have to be a chemic, you
Speaker 2: don't an engineer. This book is for you. The book sucks,
Speaker 2: ray as as.
Speaker 1: You're trying to talk like a poet, just freaking talk as.
Speaker 2: A person that got this book. I wanted to be
Speaker 2: respectful of my father in law. The book sucks, and
Speaker 2: so I sat now to start reading it shortly after Christmas.
Speaker 2: And I have no damn idea anything they're saying in
Speaker 2: this book.
Speaker 1: Gun to your head? Are you looking at that? Are
Speaker 1: you looking into nudi mag? First on Nudy mag. That's
Speaker 1: the better present.
Speaker 2: This book was so intelligent. I have no idea what
Speaker 2: I read.
Speaker 1: Let's throw it off the balcony.
Speaker 2: We might as well throw it off the balcony.
Speaker 1: But because guess what. You can give a homeless man
Speaker 1: a dollar, but you can teach him to read, and
Speaker 1: he will learn his way off those streets.
Speaker 2: He may learn how to split an atom and do
Speaker 2: all these neutrons and protons like this book talked about.
Speaker 2: Because I wanted to read this book because I was
Speaker 2: worried my father in law would ask me so what'd
Speaker 2: you think of the book? And once I started the book,
Speaker 2: There's one thing about me. When I start something, I
Speaker 2: don't like to quit. I like to keep going because
Speaker 2: what if the book is gonna get better? What if
Speaker 2: after chapter one, oh maybe chapter two is better. Get
Speaker 2: to chapter two, get through chapter two, you're like chapter three,
Speaker 2: that's gonna be the home run chapter.
Speaker 1: You not a good gambler, then you need to know
Speaker 1: when to quit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, that's the same thing with gambling. It's like, Oh,
Speaker 2: this roll of the dice, this is the one that's
Speaker 2: gonna hit. This is the one where I'm gonna flip
Speaker 2: over an ace king for a twenty one blackjack. This
Speaker 2: is the roll of the ball that is gonna be
Speaker 2: read twenty one and we're all gonna go home happy.
Speaker 1: This is the day I chase back all the losses
Speaker 1: from Saturday and Sunday Monday night football correct.
Speaker 2: And I kept reading, and I kept reading, and I'd
Speaker 2: put the book down like, oh my god, I can't
Speaker 2: read this. Then a week later, I'd go back to
Speaker 2: it and I'd start reading. I'd read three pages, and
Speaker 2: it would take me twenty minutes to read three pages
Speaker 2: because some of the words I didn't even know what
Speaker 2: they were.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're trying to get in good with Phil.
Speaker 1: I got you, yes.
Speaker 2: And it took me because I thought maybe Phil read
Speaker 2: this book and was like, oh man, you're gonna love
Speaker 2: this book. It took me ten months to finish this
Speaker 2: damn book.
Speaker 1: The book sucks.
Speaker 2: It took me ten months to read The Last Man
Speaker 2: Who Knew Everything, The Life and Times of Enrico Fermi,
Speaker 2: father of the Nuclear Age.
Speaker 1: Just let me say this. You could you get one
Speaker 1: life to live. You can live it any way you
Speaker 1: want to. Just don't be a loser. Holy crap, dude,
Speaker 1: you're never gonna get those ten months back.
Speaker 2: I feel like a loser after reading this book.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, man, you gotta start making up for
Speaker 1: lost time. What were you doing.
Speaker 2: I was reading the book that my father in law
Speaker 2: gave me for Christmas, trying trying my darnedest to like
Speaker 2: appreciate the gift and maybe I would understand it.
Speaker 1: How's it going, Phil, You want to talk about small Talker?
Speaker 1: You want to talk about the Last Man Who Knew Everything?
Speaker 1: How you doing? Happy holidays?
Speaker 2: Phil? Some recent work This is page one eighty. Some
Speaker 2: recent work by E. Fermi and L. Sizzleland, which has
Speaker 2: been communicated to me in manuscript, leads me to expect
Speaker 2: that the element uranium may be turned into a new
Speaker 2: and important source of energy in the immediate future. Certain
Speaker 2: aspects of the situation which you which has arisen page
Speaker 2: and stick it up your eyes, which has arisen, seem
Speaker 2: to call for watchfulness and, if necessary, quick action on
Speaker 2: the part of the administration. I believe, therefore that it
Speaker 2: is my duty to bring to your attention the following
Speaker 2: facts and recommendations.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: The Roosevelt finally received the letter in October nineteen thirty
Speaker 2: nine and authorized work on fission as immediate priority. What
Speaker 2: is fission? Ray, I don't know.
Speaker 1: The only page worth reading six seven.
Speaker 2: Oh, you want to go to page sixty seven. Okay,
Speaker 2: we'll go to page six seven and let's see what
Speaker 2: they had to say on page six seven. Okay, page
Speaker 2: sixty seven. Uh, let's see that summer for me bought
Speaker 2: a car. Generally frugal. He chose the cheapest model, Pigot,
Speaker 2: a Bibet Purgod, a yellow chio seat convertible that looked
Speaker 2: as silly as it was cheap. Bet. He had grandly
Speaker 2: announced to his friends that soon he would be either
Speaker 2: getting married or buying a car.
Speaker 1: Stop glazing me, bro, stop glazing me, I.
Speaker 2: Learned when she heard the news about the purgot. Laura's
Speaker 2: friend Cornelia wrote to Laura.
Speaker 1: WHOA, my wife's on that page.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, so I guess his wife found out his
Speaker 2: girlfriend found out he bought a car. So her friend thought,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, he doesn't want to marry you, but
Speaker 2: he ended up marrying Laura. Anyway, It's about me, dude, dude,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you what the there are. So the lesson
Speaker 2: I want to hear it teach you is it is
Speaker 2: okay to give up on certain things.
Speaker 1: Just speak to the truck driver.
Speaker 2: You farmers out there, if you were thinking about this
Speaker 2: Christmas giving one of your friends or family members, the
Speaker 2: last man who knew everything, don't do it.
Speaker 1: Just give him a can of corn and tell them
Speaker 1: they can stick it up. They're turning the eyes.
Speaker 2: It would be better than more enjoyable than reading this book.
Speaker 2: It was so hard to read.
Speaker 1: How much was it because it actually looks like one
Speaker 1: of those sixty dollars or something like that.
Speaker 2: It was thirty five US dollars. Well, invest that and
Speaker 2: I don't know where he got it. If he got
Speaker 2: at a bookstore, garage, sales bro.
Speaker 1: You take that to Goodwill, they're gonna say, no thanks.
Speaker 1: Nobody that comes in here can read much less PHYSI.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and splitting Adams and doing all that. Let's it
Speaker 2: was tough. Let's go to good Reads and I'll tell
Speaker 2: you the overall rating this book has.
Speaker 1: See that's one of those you just brag about reading.
Speaker 1: I think that's one of those you put in your
Speaker 1: office and people can just see that you dominated that thing.
Speaker 2: Well, there's been one forty eight ratings, one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty seven reviews. It has four point twenty four out
Speaker 2: of five stars. But that tells me that not a
Speaker 2: lot of people have read it. If only a thousand
Speaker 2: people have reviewed this book, not a lot of people
Speaker 2: have read it. So I don't know why my father
Speaker 2: in law thought I would love to know about splitting
Speaker 2: of atoms and fission and micro neutrons and neutrons and
Speaker 2: protons and atoms and oh my god, it was so miserable.
Speaker 2: But I will never read this book again.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, most of the people that
Speaker 1: have read that book haven't ever got honey on their stinger.
Speaker 2: You're probably right. Let's see some of that. You want
Speaker 2: to read some of the rules.
Speaker 1: Oh, I've read the book.
Speaker 6: It was actually very beautiful the way around page one hundred,
Speaker 6: the page is stuck together, and I've found myself in
Speaker 6: just a climax of climaxes, and I found the perfect
Speaker 6: fission fission virgin.
Speaker 2: From Charlene. I could read about Fermi over and over
Speaker 2: and never get tired of it. The Pope of Physics
Speaker 2: by Genosagree ended up being one of my favorite books
Speaker 2: of all time because it went into the physics. What
Speaker 2: in the world.
Speaker 1: Well, I learned a little bit more fun than the
Speaker 1: average guy on that one.
Speaker 2: I learned a lot I didn't know about this amazing
Speaker 2: scientist from Howard, who died in his early fifties but
Speaker 2: influenced so many, including my own physics hero, Dick Feerhman.
Speaker 1: There it is old Dick. We know she locked the door,
Speaker 1: shut the drapes. There. Read the book. Yeah, she ain't
Speaker 1: reading that. When the neighbors are up, tell you that
Speaker 1: right now. A lot of them go over to the bedroom,
Speaker 1: lock the door. It's more in a book to them.
Speaker 2: Here is from Elizabeth an interesting biography of the last
Speaker 2: man who excelled at both theoretical and applied experimental physics.
Speaker 2: The physics content in the book I can be a
Speaker 2: little it can be a little daunting. I took notes
Speaker 2: and did some research and it was excellent.
Speaker 1: See for a lot of these women, it's fitt shades
Speaker 1: of gray. They didn't do the vision of it. A
Speaker 1: lot of these women are single, and they were hearing
Speaker 1: about oh dick formes.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, h man, it was tough. Man. Here's
Speaker 2: one from Jimmy Schwartz read a lot about Fermi before
Speaker 2: he realized that there was no definitive biography on the man.
Speaker 1: I have to read.
Speaker 2: Okay, we don't need great book. This from Frederico four
Speaker 2: stars a bit too detailed at times, but it really
Speaker 2: describes the character of Firmi in all his dimensions. Mackenzie,
Speaker 2: The quest to understand the landscape of nuclear physics continues. Man,
Speaker 2: I love FORMI. I don't think I fully understood just
Speaker 2: how singularly both a theoretician and an experimentalist. He was
Speaker 2: mind blown.
Speaker 1: The previous dude, what was his name, uh, Frederico, Frederico, Like,
Speaker 1: let's be real, this is a real question. How many
Speaker 1: ais has he hooked up with a lot, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Man. So there you go, my room. You one star,
Speaker 2: one star.
Speaker 1: So guys like, have you ever hooked up with a
Speaker 1: girl named Alexa?
Speaker 2: Not that I don't wait, maybe I think green dress
Speaker 2: was named Alexa. It's maybe she was Alexis. She was
Speaker 2: aletorical question, she was Alexis. Sorry, in my.
Speaker 1: Theorem and my rhetorical rhetoric, that was a rhetorical question. Sorry,
Speaker 1: he's hooked up with a girl name Alexa and Ai.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you get this present, if you get
Speaker 2: a present under the tree in a few days that
Speaker 2: you think, man, I don't know about that. It's okay
Speaker 2: to say you don't like it. It's okay to give
Speaker 2: up on it. It's okay to take it back. Me.
Speaker 2: I sucked it up. I learned a life lesson. It
Speaker 2: took me ten months, ten months of my life, and
Speaker 2: here we are. I won't pass this book on anybody,
Speaker 2: But if you want it and you want to read it,
Speaker 2: if you love physics and theoretical physics and apply whatever
Speaker 2: the hell they're doing, I'd love to send it to you.
Speaker 2: You want it.
Speaker 1: No, No, I was just gonna say, either you're third
Speaker 1: wall is leaking again, or page two hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: seven and two hundred and sixty eight are stuck together.
Speaker 2: We'll take a break, we'll bring it back.
Speaker 3: Ray.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I got a little bored.
Speaker 2: The fact you read that. You're trying to suck up
Speaker 2: to Pops. Dude, I mean, he got me a present.
Speaker 2: What was I supposed to do?
Speaker 1: Just say?
Speaker 2: Ah, Man, this was not for me.
Speaker 1: But it's genius. What a talking point? Happy holidays?
Speaker 2: Phil?
Speaker 1: What was the last man to know? You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying?
Speaker 2: How the hell have you been?
Speaker 1: Come?
Speaker 2: Here? Been a good nine months?
Speaker 1: Theore etams and physicisms? How you doing?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 1: Phil?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean about that book? Man, I
Speaker 2: don't really understand what I read. Man, I read the
Speaker 2: whole thing. You go, I've never read it. Wait wait,
Speaker 2: you gave me the book and you never read Yeah, Man,
Speaker 2: I just thought that something you might be fine interesting?
Speaker 2: What about me? Says? I would find splitting Adams interesting?
Speaker 2: And uranium and this and that?
Speaker 3: Nothing.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: You did nothing wrong in everything? Right?
Speaker 2: It's rough? Man? Do you want to read it?
Speaker 1: Uh? We got different different kinds of things in the bathroom. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of pictures, if you know what you mean. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So what do you doing for Christmas?
Speaker 2: Man? You're gonna be in your house? Are you're gonna
Speaker 2: be You're gonna.
Speaker 1: Go get me in Jamaica?
Speaker 2: No, No, that's after. That's after. On Christmas Day, you
Speaker 2: will not be in Jamaica.
Speaker 1: We'll be doing missions work. We're going south. Those people
Speaker 1: need our help.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're going south to your brother in laws.
Speaker 1: No, we're going to south to Jamaica and our resort
Speaker 1: needs clean up. And you know what if my twenty
Speaker 1: one drinks in one day helps clean up that resort,
Speaker 1: by god, I'm gonna help out and do some missions
Speaker 1: work down there. You know what I'm saying. You want
Speaker 1: me to clean up some palm leaves. You give me
Speaker 1: a pina colada, You give me a cubano, you give
Speaker 1: me a red stripe. That stuff's gonna get cleaned up
Speaker 1: real quick. You want to you want to give me
Speaker 1: a mud slide, maybe a flaming doctor pepper. You see
Speaker 1: that entire disaster area over by the pool area, I'll
Speaker 1: have it cleaned up by noon. You get bays or
Speaker 1: bloody Mary and a Mimosa. We'll have the whole pool
Speaker 1: gutted and cleaned by two pm. You want us to
Speaker 1: taste test the steak and tell you if it is quality.
Speaker 1: You give us something to mix it with, a good wine,
Speaker 1: a good beer that pairs with it, and I'll let
Speaker 1: you know if all your your grills and stuff are
Speaker 1: up to par. We're gonna be down there doing some
Speaker 1: missions work. We'll be in Jamaica, all right, man, have
Speaker 1: a safe trip. Man, you man, Yeah, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: in Austin.
Speaker 2: Man. We made a last second pivot. We were gonna
Speaker 2: do Christmas here pivot and we said, you know what,
Speaker 2: we ain't seen Granny and Grandpa in six months. I
Speaker 2: ain't seeing our cousins in six months since we went
Speaker 2: to Texas in July. So we're packing up the vehicle
Speaker 2: and we're driving down to Texas. Man, Griswolds, we are
Speaker 2: going Griswall Christmas. It's gonna be amazing. We gonna have
Speaker 2: it at Granny and Grandpa's. We're gonna wake up on
Speaker 2: Christmas morning to the smell of that fresh bubble bread
Speaker 2: and the excitement of the kids and running down the
Speaker 2: stairs and seeing what Santa has brought just like I
Speaker 2: used to do as a child in this house. We're
Speaker 2: gonna be in that same house and they're gonna come
Speaker 2: down the same stairs that I did, and it is
Speaker 2: going to be amazing and it's gonna be a wonderful time.
Speaker 2: Hopefully gonna see my brother, I know, I'll see my
Speaker 2: sister batter's box. Hopefully he's gonna stop buy for a
Speaker 2: minute or two.
Speaker 1: Hopefully your dad repaired that hole in the wall your
Speaker 1: brother made twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: That is repaired for a while there, we just put
Speaker 2: a bookcase in front of it and forgot about it.
Speaker 2: But we did do that, and he did point paint
Speaker 2: the new the entranceway, the hallway, so I need the
Speaker 2: first thing I need to say. It's like, wow, I
Speaker 2: really like the color. I don't know what color it is.
Speaker 2: They were doing it as a test to see if
Speaker 2: my brother and sister would notice, and they didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, kids, no fingers, please take the shoes off in
Speaker 1: the hallway.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the Christmas tree. I don't know if they're gonna
Speaker 2: have the Christmas tree up or if we're gonna put
Speaker 2: it up with them and put the decorations all my
Speaker 2: homemade ornaments that I have had since I was a kid.
Speaker 2: The one that Aaron Weeks gave to me at Summit
Speaker 2: Elementary in like second or third grade. She gave me
Speaker 2: a little snowman with blue glitter. Oh that still goes
Speaker 2: on the tree every year.
Speaker 1: That was a drug reference, No it was not.
Speaker 2: It was Aaron Weeks, her mom and her sat there
Speaker 2: and made homemade ornaments for every kid in the class.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And they were in wood snowmen. And I put it
Speaker 2: up every year and I just think, man, what up,
Speaker 2: Aaron Weeks? How you doing? Good to see you man. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So those ornaments that you get in second grade, you
Speaker 2: think they mean nothing, and then you have them forty
Speaker 2: years later, it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean a lot of the truckers that was
Speaker 1: their final grade, you know, it's Yeah.
Speaker 2: What about tug voters?
Speaker 1: I heard they have to be able to do some GPS.
Speaker 1: They're actually a little bit more advanced.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, man, Well I have a great day.
Speaker 2: I'm out of here. Great pod. This is a great pod.
Speaker 1: I think it was.
Speaker 2: We are one hundred percent human. We are one hundred
Speaker 2: percent human.
Speaker 1: You know, it says it at the beginning of our podcast.
Speaker 1: Now you don't listen back to game tape. It says,
Speaker 1: I heart radio guaranteed one hundred percent human and it
Speaker 1: leans into us and you sound like a freaking robot.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Yeah, and a shout out to
Speaker 2: my guy, en Rico Fermi Man, make you rest in peace.
Speaker 2: Rest in peace, man, Thanks for all you did to
Speaker 2: the physics world. I took that journey with you, and
Speaker 2: I'll never go on it again.
Speaker 3: There's no way you read that.
Speaker 1: There's the pages are still perfect.
Speaker 2: No, I read it, dude, I read it. It was terrible.
Speaker 1: You sped read it?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. Ten months is not speed reading.
Speaker 1: Like baser id me regirl on the train every day
Speaker 1: this girl rides the train and sees a lady in
Speaker 1: the window. That's all I read. The first two pages. Oh,
Speaker 1: I read about a train and a girl like it
Speaker 1: was so boring. It was like, next day she rode
Speaker 1: the train and saw the lady in the window. Cool,
Speaker 1: When does something happen? Actually I think she did. Get
Speaker 1: uh don't I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about that book, but I'll tell
Speaker 2: you how this book ends.
Speaker 1: I'm getting you.
Speaker 2: Girl on the train, Okay, don't whatever you do, don't
Speaker 2: read this book. Man. And you want to get this
Speaker 2: a basil for Christmas.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read Girl on the Train in Jamika.
Speaker 2: That's what you should do. I want a full report
Speaker 2: when you get back. I want a full report.
Speaker 1: Man, the girl ever leave the train?
Speaker 2: Well, this guy he did a lot of things. Man,
Speaker 2: he built bombs and real scientists stuff. I don't I
Speaker 2: couldn't even tell you. It's so bad.
Speaker 1: No, the girl on the train, I think I didn't
Speaker 1: get to page three, but somebody said she like gets
Speaker 1: naked on the train.
Speaker 2: I don't want to know, man, I don't want to know.
