Speaker 1: Guess what will? What's that mango? So you know, I'm
Speaker 1: a fan of the show MythBusters, right, definite, And I
Speaker 1: was reading Carrie Byron's new book where she talks about
Speaker 1: one of the crazier explosions she's ever done, and it
Speaker 1: involves a creamer cannon creamer light What do you mean
Speaker 1: like coffee creamer? Yeah, it's like super explosive. She and
Speaker 1: the team watched this YouTube video where this guy put
Speaker 1: creamer over a lighter and it made a flame. So
Speaker 1: they decided to supersize it by building a giant air
Speaker 1: cannon and shooting it up into the air. And honestly,
Speaker 1: this thing is so terrifying. The stuff goes up, doesn't
Speaker 1: look like it's going to ignite, and then it just
Speaker 1: creates a giant puff of smoke and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, it just rips up into the sky and
Speaker 1: makes this enormous fire bomb. It's insane. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 1: But the funniest part, and the thing I would never
Speaker 1: have realized from watching the show, was that the wind
Speaker 1: changed mid explosion and all this hot, milky fire bombs
Speaker 1: started raining down from the sky. And she and the
Speaker 1: Bill team were responsible for the cleanup. So apparently coffee
Speaker 1: creamer bomb residue is discuss Anyway, Carrie is one of
Speaker 1: the most fun craziest jobs in the world, and we're
Speaker 1: lucky to have her on the program today, So let's
Speaker 1: dive in. All right, Well, today we've got the wonderful
Speaker 1: Carrie Byron on the show, who most of you will
Speaker 1: remember from the Bill team on MythBusters, but also the
Speaker 1: host of head Rush, The White Rabbit Project, and so
Speaker 1: much more. And now she's the author of a new
Speaker 1: book that we're excited to talk about. It's called crash
Speaker 1: Test Girl. So Carrie, welcome to Part time Genius there.
Speaker 1: So Carrie, before we start, I'm gonna say I'm actually
Speaker 1: from Delaware. I grew up with the punkin chunk and
Speaker 1: just being a thing only we knew about. Thank you
Speaker 1: for bringing it to a wider audience. And uh, I
Speaker 1: know you've posted that and the large Dangerous Rocketship Festival.
Speaker 1: Have you been surprised by the rise of the maker
Speaker 1: movement over the last decade or so and how much
Speaker 1: do you think MythBusters has contributed to it? You know,
Speaker 1: the maker movement was coming about at the same time
Speaker 1: as MythBusters. I think that was just the feeling that
Speaker 1: was in the air at the time that people were
Speaker 1: getting really d I y and we were all right
Speaker 1: in that same wave. Um, you know, I don't make
Speaker 1: magazine out here. I just wrote an article for him
Speaker 1: because I'm totally a fan of all maker. Yeah. It
Speaker 1: was such a fun movement to see, right, I mean
Speaker 1: we were huge fans of Boeing Boeing and Wired and
Speaker 1: then like, I feel like all of that stuff, the
Speaker 1: d I Y stuff, exploded in such a big way
Speaker 1: and and uh and I love that you sort of
Speaker 1: come to it naturally, right, Like as an artist, I've
Speaker 1: been doing it my whole life. I've always been somebody
Speaker 1: who like to tinker and work with her hand. I
Speaker 1: love the smell of you know, sawdust in the garage.
Speaker 1: I like making things. But you know, I think maybe
Speaker 1: it might even be my little rebellion to technology in
Speaker 1: a bit, because everything you can do with the computer
Speaker 1: factor and better. But I don't really like a racing
Speaker 1: and you take a pencil and I you know, I
Speaker 1: like building things with my hands and redimensions. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, the new book is super fun and I
Speaker 1: actually love how you use the scientific method as a
Speaker 1: means for examining, you know, your entire life, everything from
Speaker 1: the fun parts of your life to the difficult things
Speaker 1: you've had to face. But it speaks to so many
Speaker 1: audiences that I'm curious who you actually were thinking about
Speaker 1: when you were writing the book. Who is the book for? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm not a writer, so for me, I only maken
Speaker 1: write for the audience I know, which is myself. So
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like I wrote the audience for
Speaker 1: the person I was when I was twenty years old
Speaker 1: and starting out in life, the person who just trying
Speaker 1: to figure out how to take to how to create opportunities,
Speaker 1: and how to make big moves. Um I, I, you know,
Speaker 1: wanted to lay out all of my journey so that
Speaker 1: maybe if I've made mistakes, that you don't have to
Speaker 1: make any great I mean, I used the scientific method
Speaker 1: as a critical thinking tool, but really it's just an
Speaker 1: easy way to organize your thought process. So I think
Speaker 1: in making any decision in your life, using the scientific
Speaker 1: method is just all about being able to analyze the
Speaker 1: results of the choices that you make. Well. I mean
Speaker 1: that the structure of the books really fun, the contents excellent,
Speaker 1: but I also just really love the sidebars that you
Speaker 1: throw in there so weird and funny. Things I hadn't
Speaker 1: even thought about, like the bad smells that are on
Speaker 1: TV sets and uh, and also how you used things
Speaker 1: like um blacknail polish to cover up grease on your
Speaker 1: hands and stuff. I I thought those elements were really fun.
Speaker 1: But would you actually walk us through some of the
Speaker 1: smells that maybe people don't know about at home? I'm
Speaker 1: a list maker. I've always just just for fun and
Speaker 1: make a list of things. And bad smells was a
Speaker 1: list that I had made and I was looking through
Speaker 1: on my journals and like, I feel like this is
Speaker 1: something other people might explaind amusing. Well, we had a
Speaker 1: lot of bad melbum set because we worked with like
Speaker 1: a lot of animals. We worked with a lot of
Speaker 1: um toxins and you know every being from wolf hearing
Speaker 1: from a female dog and heat to um brotting meat
Speaker 1: that got left in the fridge over the weekend. I mean,
Speaker 1: we had a lot of really disgusting smells. I remember
Speaker 1: when You're doing Shark Week one time and we had
Speaker 1: to figure out how to cure sharks skin for stand paper,
Speaker 1: and when I was reading, like how they do that
Speaker 1: Sailey is a p on the shark skin and let
Speaker 1: it just brought in the peat. I had to pee
Speaker 1: in a cup and put shark skin with kino sounds
Speaker 1: like fish into that current and just let it um
Speaker 1: fit and for mint in my own urine in the shop.
Speaker 1: And I think that that is a that is a
Speaker 1: vile smell that nobody should ever have knowledge of. I mean,
Speaker 1: we had to capture parts and you know, examine the
Speaker 1: constituents at the part, you know, to get to a
Speaker 1: mass gestometer so we could find out what makes them
Speaker 1: to smell. I mean, capturing marks from everybody you worked with. Still,
Speaker 1: that's it's a kind of fun to get that behind
Speaker 1: the scenes. You know, something else you talked about in
Speaker 1: your book that that I found just very interesting was
Speaker 1: you know, you talked about your family struggling economically, and
Speaker 1: one of the scenes that really sticks out to me
Speaker 1: is how you lived in your car at night and
Speaker 1: all this sounds terrifying, but you know, you also built
Speaker 1: this dummy to sit in the front seat to make
Speaker 1: it look like there was a man sitting in the car.
Speaker 1: And I'm curious, you know, how did you come up
Speaker 1: with this idea and how do you know, as a team,
Speaker 1: how to build a believable dummy. I just, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's just an essentity of the moment. And to
Speaker 1: build a believable dummy, I've just always been somebody who
Speaker 1: I think was meant to be in sort of a
Speaker 1: special effects world. Maybe somebody I'll actually get there. They
Speaker 1: got the way, But I just I always made things,
Speaker 1: you know, I made I made cultures of people I'm
Speaker 1: as a little kids and how aween, how every year
Speaker 1: was in same So already knew that to make zombies,
Speaker 1: it's really not that far off from me zombie. So
Speaker 1: I just stuff like one of my dad's attle news
Speaker 1: and put a hat on it and use the skeleton
Speaker 1: mask for face. Nobody's gonna come up with that's really funny.
Speaker 1: It's probably true. So for for me, MythBusters with so
Speaker 1: much about settling bar bets, and I know you talk
Speaker 1: about it, if I know, my friends and I at
Speaker 1: at a bar and Della were actually we're discussing like
Speaker 1: could the car from Night Rider really drive up a
Speaker 1: ramp like that on the truck and not crash? And
Speaker 1: then obviously the first thing you google, you see you
Speaker 1: guys have covered it. But I'm curious what was the
Speaker 1: writer's room like on the show and how did you
Speaker 1: guys come up with ideas and more importantly, how do
Speaker 1: you decide what not to do? Um? Well, we never
Speaker 1: said no to things. We generally are like how could
Speaker 1: we do these things? And you know we did have
Speaker 1: done forammeters like it had to be buildable and had
Speaker 1: to be visual. We couldn't have bog boogie. We can't
Speaker 1: go find out a vampires don't like darlic. It has
Speaker 1: to be something scientifics that we can actually come up
Speaker 1: with the conclusion. So, um, you know, with all of
Speaker 1: the diversity in the room, we have different people coming
Speaker 1: from different backgrounds, and um, we could come up with
Speaker 1: being most of wild and wacky contraption because I don't
Speaker 1: think any of us knew that you couldn't do things.
Speaker 1: You know, you could come up with like I remember
Speaker 1: sitting there the first time it came up. The weirdest,
Speaker 1: biggest thing that we could is when we had this,
Speaker 1: Uh there was a smith about somebody who catapulted themselves
Speaker 1: with a boom lift and they franked down the boom
Speaker 1: look really hard, um with a chain or something, and
Speaker 1: then when they cut it, it catapulted the guy in
Speaker 1: the basket. Well, we tried it several times in you know,
Speaker 1: its truest form, and it didn't catapult anybody. It just
Speaker 1: bounced a little stuffing. Everybody's like, well, how are we
Speaker 1: gonna actually catapult to die? And I was like, what
Speaker 1: if we made an actual catapult? Because I'm not an engineer,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's possibility or not. And then
Speaker 1: we came up with packing containers on top of each other,
Speaker 1: welding a pivot where the wheels are of the catapult,
Speaker 1: and actually franking it back for real and making a
Speaker 1: battle sized catapult like lump and jumping and launching it
Speaker 1: dunny as far as we possibly could, and it uh
Speaker 1: didn't work well, but it was a fantastic thing to see.
Speaker 1: I think engineering skills made it that. We just didn't
Speaker 1: know whether things were actually impossible, so we went for it. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty great. Well, we've got plenty more questions
Speaker 1: for Carrie. But before that a quick break. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to Part Time Genius, where we're talking to Carry Byron,
Speaker 1: author of Crash Test Girl. You know, one of one
Speaker 1: of my favorite parts of the White House in somewhat
Speaker 1: recent years has been the White House Science Fair, which
Speaker 1: of course you hosted. I was curious, what was it
Speaker 1: like getting that call and and then of course being
Speaker 1: at the White House being able to promote science. Who
Speaker 1: is so cool that I couldn't believe it. When I
Speaker 1: feel my parents I was going to the White House,
Speaker 1: They're like, what Just walking into that place, it's the
Speaker 1: White House is just something you see in the movies
Speaker 1: from far away. And actually getting clearance to walk inside
Speaker 1: and being all of the the people do you see on
Speaker 1: the news every day just walking around looking at their phone.
Speaker 1: It was incredible. I got to, you know, go meet
Speaker 1: all of these incredible kids that we're doing things, you know,
Speaker 1: by age fifteen, that I could couldn't imagine doing. Now.
Speaker 1: I met a kid who learned how to make a
Speaker 1: better standbag by using the polymers from inside of a diaper,
Speaker 1: and he actually created a sandbag that would absorb water
Speaker 1: when there were floods and then go back to being
Speaker 1: flat so it could be easily moved and reused. Like,
Speaker 1: how did you think of that? You're leavin I mean
Speaker 1: aspiring and humbling, And at the time, it was persident
Speaker 1: Obama and just having him come and give me a
Speaker 1: hug and say my name in a speech. Felt it
Speaker 1: felt like I've made it, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. I'd say that actually does qualify as
Speaker 1: having made it. So congratulations on that one as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so fun to see your president just
Speaker 1: so excited about science and in all of these kids.
Speaker 1: Just that really was such a highlight. But um, I'm curious.
Speaker 1: You know, your tasks in that buildroom seemed to be
Speaker 1: so different. You know, you're you're like making ballistics with creamers,
Speaker 1: You're building a vomit chair for making people nauseous, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and and also making these china shops for
Speaker 1: bulls to run through. Like how do you research these projects?
Speaker 1: And do you have go to reference books or reference
Speaker 1: sites that you used to turn to? I mean we
Speaker 1: used to We started out with books on the show.
Speaker 1: That's how long ago that we had started. As we
Speaker 1: progressed through you know, the internet is just a wealth
Speaker 1: of knowledge and it's easy to find experts to help
Speaker 1: you out in anything. So you know, we would just
Speaker 1: get on the phone and you call somebody in Arizona
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, so if I were going to
Speaker 1: blow something up, underwater, how would you do that? More
Speaker 1: and more famous. It was a lot easier to make
Speaker 1: those at a point of reference, and we didn't sound
Speaker 1: like crazy people. But you know, we we we start
Speaker 1: where everybody will start. We start on Google or you know,
Speaker 1: smokes with a good way to find a couple of myths,
Speaker 1: or you know, just kind of follow the leaves down
Speaker 1: the internet rabbit hole. Yeah, and and and most of
Speaker 1: them turned out. I mean, of course we have no
Speaker 1: idea how most of them turned out, because I'm sure
Speaker 1: we we we get to see the best of the best.
Speaker 1: But it did sound like only a few of the
Speaker 1: myths on MythBusters ever went really wrong. You know, you
Speaker 1: talk about the cannon incident in particular, that was near disastrous,
Speaker 1: But I'm curious about some of the smaller, like funnier
Speaker 1: things that just ended up not working on set, and
Speaker 1: how you came up with some fixes for those. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was trying to like some of the stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure you'd need it. But I didn't always watch
Speaker 1: all the episodes because I was so busy making the
Speaker 1: show that more and think that so when people have
Speaker 1: questions sometimes I'm like, did that happen on TV? Here
Speaker 1: did that happen in real life? A lock of fuel
Speaker 1: myths has to make us still um And it turned
Speaker 1: up that was illegal, but it didn't make the show.
Speaker 1: But I said the day trying to put together a
Speaker 1: giant still to still rocket fudle from alcohol, and it
Speaker 1: went wacky and totally exploded, and I was on my
Speaker 1: own in the shop, just like feeding it with a broom,
Speaker 1: trying to break things so that I could not catch
Speaker 1: things on fire. And I just wish some of time
Speaker 1: with stuff like that that went slightly wrong and actually
Speaker 1: made air. It was us being crazy. So you haven't
Speaker 1: asside in the book that Jamie was more diligent about
Speaker 1: the safety of magnets than he was table saws. Can
Speaker 1: you talk a little bit about that? Oh well, no,
Speaker 1: I just mean that he took it very He was
Speaker 1: tilaging about safety on everything. Jamie had these um safety protocols,
Speaker 1: and he'd walk around and give you the tour of
Speaker 1: how to do things safety. He also accompanied it with
Speaker 1: the most forwarding story he designed for teaching cool. You
Speaker 1: can just hear about the table saw. You would hear
Speaker 1: about a time the table stock kicked it back. A
Speaker 1: board that wlintered off and entailed the man and hear
Speaker 1: all the glory details of it, so that you would
Speaker 1: now look at every tool as if it were trying
Speaker 1: to attack you and had peace. It was terrified. And
Speaker 1: I think that he emphasized magnets because they seem so innocuous.
Speaker 1: When you think magnets, you know, it doesn't have teeth
Speaker 1: like table stoic come bad. They just like magnets. But
Speaker 1: magnets really strong, said the ones he had told tape
Speaker 1: off a finger, it could, you know, pull something from
Speaker 1: the other side of the room. They were so strong,
Speaker 1: and you know, until you along the way, I think
Speaker 1: you Gus had a really dark way of explaining safety.
Speaker 1: I think one of the things people don't think about
Speaker 1: when they're watching a show like this is what it
Speaker 1: might be like being a woman on the set of MythBusters.
Speaker 1: And you talk about this, and you know, many times
Speaker 1: you make light of it understandably and kind of embrace it,
Speaker 1: but you know, dealing with pregnancy on set and then
Speaker 1: postpartum depression, as as well as things like being forced
Speaker 1: to wear prosthetic breast to see if people tip better.
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm curious with with all of this in mind,
Speaker 1: how many women were actually on set, and you know,
Speaker 1: in these situations, how do you speak up in these
Speaker 1: kinds of environments. Well, like to me, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: the only woman that you saw on camera. But we
Speaker 1: did have some women behind the scenes. You know, we
Speaker 1: had producers, directors, researchers, um are, we had a female
Speaker 1: sound downy as well, So it wasn't just me, and
Speaker 1: so it was it was definitely helpful through the years
Speaker 1: as the production went on, we had more and more
Speaker 1: women working behind the scenes. At times could have it
Speaker 1: was difficult. It was definitely difficult pregnant because nobody intelligence
Speaker 1: to have children. Even just getting a sort of body
Speaker 1: on the set, it was always a little bit of
Speaker 1: a struggle because all the guys on set were like
Speaker 1: wanting to spy in the bushes like us, right right. Um.
Speaker 1: The hardest thing I think it was probably finding out
Speaker 1: that the other two guys I was working with UM
Speaker 1: for grant, when I thought that there was a paid
Speaker 1: disparity that they were making UM specifically more than me.
Speaker 1: I sort of thought I had a moment that I
Speaker 1: had a little normal ray moment where it's like sweet
Speaker 1: a minute, that's not okay, And it was quite a
Speaker 1: fight to get to be paid to stain guide. So
Speaker 1: from that point on, I actually put it in my
Speaker 1: contract that if I had the same title and I
Speaker 1: had the stink job, I had not painting that I
Speaker 1: know I was reading about. That just makes you so sad.
Speaker 1: You look at places like toy companies or NPR or
Speaker 1: like Discovery just assume they're like happy places and totally
Speaker 1: equal in things. And and the fact that you had
Speaker 1: the same title and even some seniority and you weren't
Speaker 1: getting paid that is it's just so disturbing. How did
Speaker 1: you discover that? Like, how how did you figure out
Speaker 1: that you weren't getting paid the same amount? You know,
Speaker 1: it was through casual conversation because we were you know,
Speaker 1: we we had a season coming up and we had
Speaker 1: contract negotiations coming up, and um, they're talking about how
Speaker 1: much we should ask for to get and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: you're getting white. It was it was one of you know,
Speaker 1: it was just you know, since we all did have
Speaker 1: the same title and think we all expected we're being
Speaker 1: paid the same we started talking about, you know, what
Speaker 1: we should negotiate for the next season, and I it
Speaker 1: was just sort of a shocking moment. For me, that's
Speaker 1: when I decided to do what you should do when
Speaker 1: you you're you're kind of out of your your league,
Speaker 1: you find expert help. So I went and I got
Speaker 1: an agent, and from then on we negotiate all our
Speaker 1: contracts as a leagueable nation. All right, well, we have
Speaker 1: a few more questions on a kind of a different note,
Speaker 1: but before we get to those, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Part Time Genius. We're talking to the
Speaker 1: author of a brand new book called Crash Test Girl,
Speaker 1: Carrie byron Um. You know, I, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I've just been living in a cave and hadn't heard
Speaker 1: about the White Rabbit Project, And after reading about your descriptions,
Speaker 1: I definitely want to binge watch this, but I was
Speaker 1: hoping could you tell us a little bit about the
Speaker 1: project and what some of the more fun experiments you've
Speaker 1: done on it are. So White Rabbit Project was, It's
Speaker 1: based on that moment where you're on the internet, you
Speaker 1: guys know this, and considering where you came from, where
Speaker 1: you kind of falling down a rabbit hole because you
Speaker 1: looked up Belcro and all of a sudden, you're you're
Speaker 1: you're looking at the space program like it's just this
Speaker 1: one thing reads, the next thing reads the next thing.
Speaker 1: So we had um themes for each episode like Superhero
Speaker 1: Powers that you can create with technology now, or Key
Speaker 1: Forces or Great American Heights. Um. So, one of my favorites,
Speaker 1: which I believe is the first episode in the series,
Speaker 1: is called Superhero Powers, where we each pick one that
Speaker 1: we could try to create with technology, and I picked
Speaker 1: mind control, and um, it is hilarious. I looked up
Speaker 1: toward you a bunch of electrodes, find amuts of dinner
Speaker 1: and made sure that uh I, I could control him
Speaker 1: with electrodes. They were attatched to me, so sort of
Speaker 1: like my brain powering my arm and my arms powering
Speaker 1: his arm. And then we sat down for a big,
Speaker 1: messy spaghetti and wine game. I mean it was. It
Speaker 1: was delight. It was a delayable, fun, weird show to do.
Speaker 1: It's on Netflix. You can still catch it. Um we
Speaker 1: had a full season airing. I don't think it got
Speaker 1: promoted like it should because we only did get the
Speaker 1: one thing. Well, we'll definitely be I'll definitely be checking
Speaker 1: it out. So. Um one of the things you hit
Speaker 1: it at was this wonderful relationship with the fans of
Speaker 1: MythBusters and how some of their ideas uh lad to
Speaker 1: um things on the show. I'm curious, what are the
Speaker 1: best fan ideas that came through that that you might remember,
Speaker 1: or what are the best interactions you've had with fans? Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, with the message boards and with our relationship
Speaker 1: with them. You know, we could constantly talking with the fans,
Speaker 1: and you know, even if we did an episode that
Speaker 1: they didn't like our methodology or how did it, we
Speaker 1: would go back and revisit it and do it again
Speaker 1: because you know, we would actually be talking with them
Speaker 1: on the message sports. But I remember my favorite was
Speaker 1: a fourth grade class found this ancient myths about paper
Speaker 1: being used as armor in ancient China. I was obsessed
Speaker 1: with it. So I pitched it and pitched it and
Speaker 1: pitched it until they did it. And you know, we
Speaker 1: made a whole student armor out of paper, and we
Speaker 1: tested it with arrows and with swords, and we did
Speaker 1: it with a medal as well, and found out the
Speaker 1: paper actually was a viable option up until you know,
Speaker 1: guns were invented. But that was from a fourth grade class,
Speaker 1: and who was just you know, they're like, let's been
Speaker 1: this Midbusters. I love that. That's pretty awesome, you know,
Speaker 1: and and hearing about, you know, working with kids, and
Speaker 1: and hearing questions from kids. I'm curious about the projects.
Speaker 1: I know you do projects with your daughter. Can you
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about some of those. Um, well,
Speaker 1: my daughter and I do a lot of projects right now.
Speaker 1: We're even just slime. Like we're with you on that.
Speaker 1: My counter is covered with shaving cream and glue and glitter.
Speaker 1: That's I would say, our current passion. Yeah, I hear
Speaker 1: you on that. We've got a room, a craft room
Speaker 1: full of slime of giant. I'm curious now whether Elmer's
Speaker 1: sells more glue for school use or more glue for slime.
Speaker 1: I remember even looking it up online to order another
Speaker 1: bottle of it, and even in the description of what
Speaker 1: Elmer's glue is, it says great for making slimees. I
Speaker 1: think you can see how much the business has has changed.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we should and slime about a year ago.
Speaker 1: Higher that are just people wishing slime. I'm like, what, Carrie,
Speaker 1: tell us, what's next? But what's the next big project
Speaker 1: that you're excited about? All right, Well, I am still
Speaker 1: doing TV I've got a bunch of diffinent works I
Speaker 1: can't talk about. But what I can talk about is
Speaker 1: the next checkmark on my bucket list. Um, now that
Speaker 1: there's book things over with, I want to make toys.
Speaker 1: So I have just recently joined a startup called Smart Girls. Um.
Speaker 1: It is a scrappy startup. It's it's ethosis that it's
Speaker 1: trying to teach computer science two girls who might otherwise
Speaker 1: not be engaged. You're interested in it. So I we
Speaker 1: make coding robot dolls for girls. Um, it's it's called
Speaker 1: Smart Girls. So I go check this out. There is
Speaker 1: a really cool self balancing segway Barbie. That's our first project,
Speaker 1: and we have a million toys coming up in line
Speaker 1: that are really really wild. Um, I'm gonna be a toymaker.
Speaker 1: That is so much fun. It seems like you have
Speaker 1: enough projects going right now, Carrie. I I don't think
Speaker 1: you need to handle that much more. This is all
Speaker 1: really fun and really exciting, and I hope our listeners
Speaker 1: will check out your new book, Crash Test Girl. But Carrie,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us today. Thank you guys.
Speaker 1: It fun talking to you. Thanks again for listening. Part
Speaker 1: Time Genius is a production of how stuff works, and
Speaker 1: wouldn't be possible without several brilliant people who do the
Speaker 1: important things we couldn't even begin to understand. Tristan McNeil
Speaker 1: does the editing thing. Noel Brown made the theme song
