1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome to Stuff from the Science Lab from how 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: stuff works dot com. Hey, guys, welcome to the podcast. 3 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 1: This is also Madam look At, the science editor how 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: stuff works dot com. And this is Robert Lamb, science 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: writer at how stuff works dot com. Today we're going 6 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: to do the second podcast in our first series. I'm 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: very excited about this series. Yeah, how basically how things 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: come into being in the universe? Um, how cosmic bodies 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: get their start? Yeah. Last time we talked, we were 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: discussing um stars such as our sun, and so we're 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: very fine. Start is it's pretty good. I don't know. 12 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: But today we're going to change the topic and today 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: we're talking about planets. Yeah, so let's just talk about 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: planets for a secure quick definition. Maybe a planet is 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: a big body that revolves around the Sun in a 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: solar system, in our souls systems specifically. Yeah, I A. 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: You spelled it out even more at that two thousand 18 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: six meeting when they booted Pluto. Do you remember this. 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: There's a big deal. Countless songs written about it, like 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: what um, oh what's his name? As one us a 21 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: separate podcast, yeah no, um oh the rapper, Um, it's 22 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: really cool track bring back Pluto. I have no idea 23 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: what you're talking about. All I can think of is 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: digable planets. Is that about Pluto? No, that was just 25 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: the I'm cool like that. I'm chill like that, you know, Okay, 26 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: it was kind of so. Anyway, the IAU spelled it 27 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: out at their two thousand six meeting and they decided 28 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: that in order to qualify as a planet it wasn't 29 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: just going to be a size game anymore. You have 30 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: to orbit the Sun. Of course, you have to have 31 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: enough gravity to develop into a sphere. Yeah, but here's 32 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: where Pluto gets knocked the park. According to an article 33 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: in Universe Today by Frazer Cane, he said that Pluto 34 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: would have to have cleared the neighborhood of its orbit. 35 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: So what they're just saying here is that Pluto would 36 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: have had to either sucked in surrounding bodies or knocked 37 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: them away. And sorry, Pluto, you couldn't do that. Too 38 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: much of a owner. So if we were just looking 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: to our now eight planets to uh figure out how 40 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: planets form, we wouldn't have a whole lot of candidates 41 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: for developing theories and all sorts of stuff. So we've 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: started to look to exoplanets too. Yeah, and that's the 43 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: that's one of the real key things about studying these 44 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: these very distant worlds is that our understanding of solar 45 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: systems and how they work in planetary planetary formation, we 46 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: based it on the model that we have closest his hand, 47 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: which is our solar system, which is logical. But you know, 48 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: eventually you need to throw some more models in there 49 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: so you know what is possible. You know, it's like 50 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: if you were you know, if you were like a 51 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: lonely guy trying to figure out how you know, women work, 52 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: and you only knew one girl, you know, you might 53 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: get a pretty clear idea of how she works, but 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of different ladies out there. Yeah, 55 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: I am tempted to probe this, and but I won't. 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: I won't get into questions about your love life because 57 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: we talk about science here. This is not the love line. 58 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: And women defy science. Indeed, they do do. Women defy logic. 59 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: Some would say that so scientists need more data points 60 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: right to figure out how planets form, so they look 61 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: to exo planets. Specifically, they have about four fifty three 62 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: extra planets as of right when we went into as 63 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: of Sinco to Mayo. And actually this is what Kepler 64 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: is doing, by the way, looking for exo planets in 65 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: the milky web. The first exo planet was actually discovered 66 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: by a radio astronomer at the Penn State by the 67 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: name of Dr Alexander Can. I was waiting for you 68 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: to try to say, his last name is a crazy 69 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: last name. When did he When did he discover it? Um? 70 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: About um? However, the body was rotating around a dead 71 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: star or a pulsar, right, so this isn't very exciting. 72 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: It's exciting, well, it was exciting, but it wasn't entirely 73 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: what hang out, I mean the sun is dead there? Yeah. Yeah. 74 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: So extra planets fallow roughly into two categories. You have 75 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: worlds like our own, which are called appropriately enough earthlike 76 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: planets or terrestrial planets, and then you have the gas 77 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: giants like Jupiter. Say yeah, and there are a whole 78 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: lot fewer earthlike planets around, but we'll come back to 79 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: these categories in a sec. Oh. And of course, the 80 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: other value in in finding exoplanets, especially those earthlike exo planets, 81 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: is that we could one day possibly move there once 82 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: we've totally used up this planet. Yeah, why not? Yeah? 83 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: In fact, I mean a lot of people point out 84 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: that that's it's going to be key to the long 85 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: term survival of the human race, such as your new 86 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: favorite idol, Stephen Hawking. Why everybody's idol? Yeah, that's true. Yes. So, 87 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: now that we've covered the basics of planets and extra 88 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: planets slid, let's do a little flashback to rough four 89 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: point five billion years ago. So at the stage r L, 90 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: what was the state of our solar system a few 91 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: billion years back? Well, our son was a fledgling proto star, 92 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: still trying to pack in enough matter that it's so 93 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: that you could get the gravity cranked up, get that 94 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: nuclear fusion going, and uh, you know, start actually doing 95 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: some solar business. Um everything else just basically a big 96 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 1: rotating cloud of particles called a solar nebula. Pseudo planets 97 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: per se. No, just cosmic dust, mere twinkles in the 98 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: universe's eye, dust in the wind, except not really wind yet. 99 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: That's coming though, right, it is coming. So with the 100 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: formation of the Sun and the remaining gas and dust, 101 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: it was free to flatten into a rotating proto planetary disc. Yeah. 102 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: And then within the swirling debris. You get your rocky 103 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: particles are starting to get all restless, they do some 104 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: colliding their form large amousses that soon attracted even more 105 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: particles via gravity. Is everybody's friend in this scenario, right, 106 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: And this is this is the same process that you 107 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: see in most cosmic formation theories accretion, where little particles 108 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: are drawn together to become bigger particles which in collide 109 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: and other with other like sized particles. And it's just 110 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: like the snowball going down the mountain basically, right. So, 111 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: some of these particles start to contract under gravity to 112 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: create bodies called planetismals, which then collide with other planetismals 113 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: to become the solid inner planets. And this is called 114 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: the planetismal hypothesis. Meanwhile, what's going on with the gas giants? 115 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: The gas giants actually coming to being because you have 116 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: gases that are frozen out there and they're colliding with 117 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: each other. They're forming these these big giant balls of 118 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: frozen gas and uh yeah, eventually those become the gas 119 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: giants in the outer orbits. So why did the gas 120 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: giants get the shaft? Why did they get relegated to 121 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: the outer bounds of our solar system. Well, the theory 122 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: is the wind I said, the wind was come and back. Uh, 123 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: specifically the solar wind. And uh, this is not wind 124 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: as you know it on Earth, but it's a steady 125 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: flow of plasma that emanates from a star. We have 126 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: it today, but back in the ye old days of 127 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: the Solar system, it was a lot stronger, strong enough 128 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: to blast the lighter elements such as hydrogen and helium 129 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: away from the inner orbits. So you know, they're blasted away, right, 130 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: And the farther they get away from the Sun, the 131 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: the less solar wind there is to propel them, all right, 132 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: and then they get drawn into the gas giants, um, 133 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: the growing gas giants, which adds to their gravity and 134 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: uh and makes them more gases than the inner planets. Right, 135 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: and then they're also pretty far away from the Sun, 136 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: so they get kind of cold. Right, Yes, everything chills 137 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: back down. And that's a nice theory, but not so 138 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: fast because back there's a little tweak. This goes right 139 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: back to what we were talking about earlier about how 140 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: our Solar system is the the closest model first to 141 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: base all these theories on. But then we discover some 142 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: sort of exoplanets doing something a little different, and it 143 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: throws the theory into question, forces us to tweak it. Right. So, 144 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: this particular exo planet that messed with the theory was 145 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: fifty one Pegasi B and it was a hot Jupiter 146 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: that orbited very close to its son. So what do 147 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: we mean by a hot Jupiter sexy planet? No, it's 148 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: so it's like a it's like a Jupiter, sque planet, 149 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: big gas giant, but it's close to the Sun. It's 150 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: in the inner orbit, right, it's not the outer orbit 151 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: like men except so they were like, whoa, how how 152 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: that happened? And so this new theory, uh, is that 153 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: a planet like that still forms in the in the 154 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: outer orbit and then moves into the closer orbit, right 155 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: thanks to something called orbital migration. And orbital migration concerned 156 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: me at first because I was thinking, we'll shoot, what 157 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: if our planets weren't in fixed orbitals? You know, what 158 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: if Jupiter was migrating across the Solar System and bam 159 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: was going to slammer it into Earth and we would 160 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: be gobbled up and consumed and cast into thousands of 161 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: parts and orbiting around the Sun haphazardly. That would that 162 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: kind of stink. But no, no, no, no, no. Orbital 163 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: migration in this sense is is a finite process. Yeah, 164 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: it's part of the formation of that solar system and 165 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: it stops. Yeah, our our solar system for now pretty stable. Yeah, 166 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: definitely pretty stable. So there you have it. Um from 167 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: dust to a planet. Um. That's the basic genesis. Without 168 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: getting into you know, more specific planetary formation um situations 169 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: with the forming of a crust, etcetera. All we are 170 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: is dust in the wind, Robert, or dust in the 171 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: solar nebula, dust in the in the solar wind. You know, 172 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: it really is fast. I mean it's kind of it 173 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: sounds cliche and kind of like some sort of a 174 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: hippie space song, but I mean I mean that dust 175 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: that there was, you know, in the primorical universe. I 176 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: mean we're essentially that, you know, matter can't be created 177 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: or destroyed. So we're all it's you know, it's who 178 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: we are. It's trippy, yes, So if you want to 179 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: trip out in some more interesting articles, go to the homepage. 180 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: We've got all sorts of stuff like Robert's new article 181 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: on how planets form, or doing some planet hunting, or 182 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or even the Drake equation. 183 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: Did you reread that? I loves great probably my favorite equation. 184 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: We also have a Facebook now Facebook account, yep, you 185 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: can search for that under stuff from the Science Lab, 186 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: and if you go on Twitter you can find us 187 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: under lab Stuffert is really sure. Robert's really rocking us 188 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: out on Twitter these days. Yeah, we're trying to update 189 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: it pretty regularly with our you know, links to new articles, 190 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: links to outside articles we think are pretty groovy, and 191 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: just random stuff that comes up. Oh and we have 192 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: a viewer mail listener mail. We don't have viewers per se, 193 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: we do have the sermail. And this comes to us 194 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: from Rico on the Island of Hawaii. Yeah, this is 195 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: the Big Island, and Vica writes, hellose science podcasters Allison 196 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: and Robert. Name is Rico, and I live on the 197 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: Big Island of Hawaii. I haven't been to the Volcano 198 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: Park yet. I just moved here five months ago from Illinois. 199 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: That's quite a move from Illinois to Hawaii. First off, 200 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: he says, I would trade Vogue any day for fog. 201 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: Perhaps I shouldn't unciate it that a little bit more. 202 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: I would trade Vogue with a v any day for fog. 203 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: Vogue isn't cool at all. It's so bad here you 204 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: can't even see the ocean that's seven miles away, can't 205 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: see the Kohala Mountains from way Kaloa. Fog is horrible 206 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: and it just messes up the beauty of Hawaii and 207 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: sometimes gives you bad headaches. That's awesome, I mean, not 208 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: the headaches. Rico also writes, well, thanks for reading my ramble. 209 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: I had to write this at ten pm after I 210 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: listened to the podcast, and for the second time, vogue 211 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: is horrible and isn't better at all. Fog is the best, 212 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: signed Rico, and it's so cute. Yeah, and again, of 213 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: course is volcanic fog? Right, So this pertained to the 214 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: Death by Volcano podcasts that we just stand a couple 215 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Well, Rico, I have to tell you, um, 216 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: hit that Volcano National Park as soon as possible, because 217 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: that play is amazing, like seriously, like like I went 218 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: there years and years ago, and like you can like 219 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: basically walk under a rainbow and a creator. You can 220 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: look down in a creator and there's a rainbow underneath you. 221 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's crazy, It's like being in another planet. Yeah, 222 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: but maybe it's not so great if you live there 223 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: all the time. Like that's I mean, well that's the thing. 224 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: That's the thing about living in a wife from My 225 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: buddy moved out there, uh originally and uh he ended 226 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: up you know, he was there for a couple of years, 227 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: but then he came back. I mean, it's it's rough 228 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: living on an island, yeah, even if you do know 229 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: how to serve, even if it is awesome.
