9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Charles Bryant. Just a couple of staff writers at how

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Stuff Works dot Com. That's all we are, that is it,

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Chuck Um, Chuck. I imagine you're familiar with Dark four, right, Yeah,

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: I am. I keep up with them with the niche

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: you have. You have you heard about the basically the

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: peace agreement fallen apart lately? Yeah? I think you should

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: tell people though, Okay, Well, um, basically uh. In two

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: thousand and six, the the Sudanese government UM had a

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: piece of cord established with this lone rebel faction. And

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: there's a multitude of rebel factions fighting each other and

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: the Sudanese government right now in in Sudan, UM and uh. Basically,

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: one rebel group, the Sudanese Liberation Movement, step forward and said,

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll come up the ceasefire. Let's come

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: up with an accord um or a power sharing agreement,

23
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. And everything was going pretty well

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: until apparently the Sudanese army bombed some villages that are

25
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: under SLM control. This happened like yesterday basically. Um So,

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, the SLM leaders accusing the

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: President of Sudan of even further war crimes. The president

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: al Bashir I think is his last name. He is

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: basically about to be indicted by the Hague and um

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: he's in big, big trouble, crimes against humanity, war crimes,

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: the whole shebang. Um So, it sounds like things are

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: falling apart, as if they couldn't get any worse. It's

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: pretty heavy stuffed. But did you know that, um, that

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why the conflict in Sudan's taking

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: like two hundred thousand lives so far started in two

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: thousand three. Um, it was in large part started over

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: access to um drinking water, right, and that's not unusual,

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, safe drinking or clean drinking water in third

39
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: world countries and around the world is getting more obsolete,

40
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: and it's kind of a problem. It definitely is. Uh,

41
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: As I understand at one point two billion people don't

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: have access to um clean drinking water. That's like of

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: the world population, I know. And sadly, I think six

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: thousand children every year die because they don't have access

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: to safe drinking water. And that's that's a very startling statistic. Yeah,

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: then there's plenty of them. I mean, we could sit

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: here and rattle them off. Basically, all of what they

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: add up to is that we're running out of water

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: and we're beginning to see the effects of that. UM.

50
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: Africa seems to be kind of the uh, at the

51
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: cutting edge of all things horrible for some reason. UM.

52
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: And right now it looks like what we're seeing in

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: Africa as far as water goes, is what the developing

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: world's gonna see in twenty or fifty or a hundred

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: years UM. Largely because we don't value water. It's cheap, right,

56
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: it's cheap, and people use it like it's uh, like

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: it's free. Yeah, I mean I think it takes like

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: twelve gallons is to stay in a human being every

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: day twild gallons of water and then includes everything bathing

60
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: and drinking water and cooking, cooking, the whole, the whole shebang. Right. Um,

61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: so you've got twelve gallons that you need to stay alive, right, Um,

62
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: Americans use I think a hundred and fifty eight gallons

63
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: a day on average. Every single one of us on

64
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: average uses that much. And true American spirit, it's uh,

65
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: we don't treat it with much respect right now? So

66
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean, what, what what will happen if if we

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: start to run out of water? There? Chucker? What happens

68
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: when we in the developing world, I should say run

69
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: out of water? Well, there could potentially be you know,

70
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: worst fault over water. I know that. Uh. The World

71
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: Bank vice president at one point said that the next wars,

72
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: uh in the next will be fought over water. Yeah,

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: he said that in and we only had to wait

74
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: like eight years, three years into the twenty one century

75
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: when Dark four breaks out. It was the first war

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: fought over water in like years. The last one was

77
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: among Mesopotamians, I think so, and what happened to them exactly?

78
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: It's a cautionary tale if I've ever heard one, Right,

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: I think part of the problem is that water is uh,

80
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times the countries and even

81
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: states share borders with bodies of water, so it's not

82
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: the kind of thing you can really claim ownership of.

83
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: So you know, here in Georgia, we had a situation

84
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: recently where we had uh, well we're still in a drought,

85
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: but we have a situation with Alabama and Florida and

86
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee even where we're kind of all battling

87
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: for the same water. Well, we drew Tennessee into it

88
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: by suing to have the Georgia border go into the

89
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: middle of the Tennessee River all of a sudden, rather

90
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: than at the banks, based on based on an old

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: survey that they said was incorrect from the hundred and

92
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: it was you know, no one really cared much until now,

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: and now we kind of need that water. But uh,

94
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: it's it's not a problem when there's neighboring states and

95
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: everyone's good friends, were trying to work it out diplomatically.

96
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: There's no war crimes going on yet, no, but it

97
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: can be a problem and and developing nations where you know,

98
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: they're not exactly the best of friends exactly, and it's

99
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: a little more dire of a circumstance, and so you

100
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: can't have wars break out over water. Well, even even

101
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: beyond wars. I mean there's a there's a pretty um

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: I imagine a predictable model of what will begin to

103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: happen when you start to run out of water. The

104
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: first thing um that would go would be crops, right,

105
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: because I mean, we we need food and much less

106
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: supply than we need water. But you know, water is

107
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: the basic essential ingredient of everything we need. We can

108
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: go like two days without water, but like eight weeks

109
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: without food, right, Yeah, about sixty days. You can live

110
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: without food as long as you have water, But three

111
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: to five days without water, and it's dehydration and death

112
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: and um ironically though, we need water to raise that food.

113
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: So even if we have drinking water, we're still gonna

114
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: need food eventually. So you run out of water, you

115
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: run out of food. If you run out of food, right,

116
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the farmers who were you know,

117
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: once raising these crops and livestock, uh, still need money

118
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: to survive. They still need money to get by and

119
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: to be able to purchase whatever food is available, right,

120
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: so they start moving to the cities, and then the

121
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: city experiences this big population boom that strange the infrastructure

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: system for which eventually is broken and becomes polluted, which

123
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: takes out even more of the water supply. So it

124
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: really is a trickle down effect, and it's excuse upon there,

125
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: but it affects everything all the way on down and

126
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: and it's wide reaching. Yeah. So basically this is a

127
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: kind of the nightmare scenario that we're facing. Um. And

128
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: one of the things that I questioned when I was

129
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: looking into this for this article, exactly what happens if

130
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: we run out of water? UM? Was Okay, well, we've

131
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: got climate change going on right now. Clearly there's some

132
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: climate skeptics also an article on how stuff works dot com.

133
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: But um, for the most part, most people can see

134
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: quite clearly that you know, some eighteen thousand year old

135
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: glaciers around the world that have sustained humans for as

136
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: long as humans have lived near them are suddenly losing

137
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: six of their mass and like the last twenty years, right,

138
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: So why don't we just drink all that? It sounds

139
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: like a good idea to me. It is. The problem

140
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: is is we rely on these glaciers, which support billions

141
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: of people in like Asia, UM, South America, Central America UM.

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: They rely on them for their drinking supplied to kind

143
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: of melt in a predictable rate each year and then

144
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: be replenished by snow. Well, if it's too warm to

145
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: support like a snow peak or a glacier any longer

146
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: it's not being replenished, it becomes part of the rain

147
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: cycle and eventually becomes salinated water. And we have water

148
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: water everywhere, right, so most of the Earth's water is

149
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: either shan or locked in ice right now for the

150
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: time being. It will eventually be mostly ocean, right right,

151
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: which we can't drink we can't or can we Well,

152
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: I know that if you drink plain salt water it

153
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: will dehydrate you even more. But I think you might

154
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: be talking about removing the salt from the water. Yeah, desalination, right,

155
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: and that's actually in in progress right now. There's some

156
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: desalination plants around the world that are that are providing

157
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: fresh water from saltwater. But it's like super super expensive

158
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: technology right now. Yeah, that's one of the problems. I know.

159
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: Another one of the cool ideas that they're working on.

160
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: Bioengineers are trying to produce crops that need less water

161
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: or that can live through artificial irrigation, which I know

162
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: a lot of people against us think it's kind of

163
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: creepy to eat this bioengineered food, But um, it might

164
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: be a good solution if it will save us water.

165
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: I think everybody will just kind of you know, tongue

166
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: exactly right. And you know, um, agriculture as it stands

167
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: is uh, basically one of the biggest users, actually the

168
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: biggest user of water. I think it uses seventy of

169
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: the global water consumption goes to agriculture. The problem is

170
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: is our irrigation technology is just so terrible. We lose

171
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: like of that water. It's not it's not a very

172
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: efficient system. Problem. That would definitely help as well in

173
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: addition to creating those hybridized crops that kind of thing. Yeah,

174
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: I know, drip irrigation is I think, uh effective or

175
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: efficient the wave of the future in my opinion, I

176
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: think you're right. So check. Do you know anything about

177
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: carrying capacities? I know a little bit, but I think

178
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: you might be the man in this round. I did

179
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: study anthropology at the dear Old University of Georgia, and

180
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: that's why I first learned about. Carrying capacity is basically

181
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: the total number of people that any any kind of

182
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: um anything can sustain, especially with food, water, that kind

183
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: of thing. Before we overtext the planet to the limit,

184
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: So we used to run around as hunter gatherers. Right,

185
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: some of us still it, right, that's true, but for

186
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: the at one time, all of us did, and we're

187
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: that can sustain like twenty million people. Then all of

188
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: a sudden we come up with agriculture ten twelve thousand

189
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: years ago, and all of a sudden, we can sustain

190
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: twelve billion people with that, right, Right, that switch from

191
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: hunter hunting, hunting and gathering to agriculture give some people

192
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: hope that technology is going to be able to stay

193
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: ahead of this curve and that we will never actually

194
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: reach the caring capacity, will have moved on to something else,

195
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: and you know, the day will be saved and we

196
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: will create statues for scientists. Right, That's what I'm hoping for. Yeah,

197
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: me too, Chuck, because the alternative is kind of kind

198
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: of scary, yeah and thirsty. Yeah. Well, I'm gonna drink

199
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: my out of date fresca and really enjoy it for once. Um, thanks, Chuck.

200
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: If you want to learn more about water and exactly

201
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: what will happen uh if we run out of it?

202
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Type in exactly what happens if we run out of

203
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: water on how stuff works dot com and stick around

204
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: for Chuck's recipe for a water free breakfast smovie right

205
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: after this. It's good stuff you should know is brought

206
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: to you by Visa. We all have things to think about,

207
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: like say, what's the best site to buy a new

208
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: leather jacket or whether to buy the three or six

209
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: megapixel camera. But thankfully we don't need to think about

210
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: online fraud because for every purchase you make, Visa keeps

211
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: an eye out for fraud with real time fraud monitoring

212
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: and by making sure you're not liable for any unauthorized purchases.

213
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: How's that for peace of mind? Safe secure Visa? So Chuck,

214
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: give up your secret. Tell us this a great recipe.

215
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: It's really good, Josh, and good for you. What I

216
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: do is I prep ahead of time and make them

217
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: kind of throughout the week. So I'll get a bunch

218
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: of strawberries and some of my raspberries and blueberries, and

219
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: I'll chop them. We'll chop up the strawberries and I'll

220
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: freeze it. And that's one of the keys that everything's

221
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: gonna be frozen. I hadn't heard that one before. Oh yeah,

222
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: it's good. That's why my smoothies are terrible. I guess right. Well,

223
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: it keeps you from having to add ice with all

224
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: the just frozen. So you put all that in a

225
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: blender or a food processor with a banana, and then

226
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: you add some orange juice, and then you add the

227
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: secret ingredient is vanilla protein powder, which you get at

228
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: your health health food store. I can eat that stuff

229
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: dry right out of the canister, and I know it's good.

230
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: So you blend that all up. It gets nice and thick,

231
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: and you've got a delicious breakfast smoothie on your hand.

232
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: That's fantastic show. Now you can find all sorts of

233
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: great recipes, not necessarily Chuck's water free breakfast smoothie recipe,

234
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,640
