1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to you stuff you should know fromhouse stuff Works

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: dot com. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: Clark and Charles W. Chuck Bryant is with me. Um,

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: which means it's time for stuff you should know. That's right, man,

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: I got all confused right there, you're about to say. Listener,

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: it's a little close for comfort. Our shortest show ever. Yes,

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: how introductions work? How you doing? I'm well, sir, How

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: are you? I'm good. It's a little warm in here

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: today in um, I feel I feel like this is

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: to him, like a room that we're in is always

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: sort of warm and off putting. Well, there's like eighteen

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: NIKEA lamps in here, and I guess it feels like

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: it's warmer than usual. They generate some heat and that's

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: how they power Switzerland Sweden with Sweden Sweden. Yeah, yeah, sorry,

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: sweet is. Yeah, I know people are like good lord Chuck. Yeah,

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: you got a map as a desk bells. Yeah, you

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: have a tan map down to so um Chuck. I

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: want to dive into a subject that I believe you

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: know something about. Okay, it's called diving bells. That's the subject,

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: and I know you know about it because this article

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: that we're basing this off of, is it Chuck Bryant jam, Yeah,

22
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: I forgot all about this and I got about halfway

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: through it, and I was like that sounds like something

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: I'd say, Oh, really, you didn't realize that you've written it. Nope,

25
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: totally forgot. And then it wasn't halfway through, but it

26
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: was probably somewhere in the intro, that silly clever intro,

27
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: which was really not clever. Oh, I don't know. I

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: feel like I used to start all of my articles

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: like I was writing a middle school term paper. Oh

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: was it the uh where they're talking about how there's

31
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: not very many images of our early attempts to scuba

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: dive because quote of the lack of availability of underwater

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: filming techniques at the time. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds like filler.

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Very very very very very remember in summer school with

35
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: Chainsaw and Dave Uh yeah, the Mark Arman movie. Yeah,

36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: they had to write like a three word essay or

37
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: something like that and somebody they admired, and I think

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: it was Toby Hooper and or it was the or

39
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: a special effects there, but they said like he was

40
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: very very very very very very very I remember those

41
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: days counting the words. Yeah, that's not what this is. No,

42
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: this is a great article on diving bells. It's kind

43
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: of interesting, you know, the precursor to scuba diving. If

44
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: any of you folks out there, scuba enthusiasts you have, uh,

45
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: you know, there's a trail that was blazed many years before,

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: littered with dead bodies and big iron casks. Yeah, not

47
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: just dead bodies, but crippled bodies too. Like, a lot

48
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: of bad stuff can happen to you, and a lot

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: of bad stuff did happen to people before we really

50
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: understood the physics of Yeah, I mean, people still lose

51
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: their lives obviously in the pursuit of um, just forwarding technology,

52
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: but um not like they used to people. You're like,

53
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: we really owe a debt to the people who figured

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: out everything that we have and lost their lives doing it. Well,

55
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: what's spectacularly amazing to me is that not everyone died

56
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: trying to use diving bells. And we're talking like years ago. Yeah,

57
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't you know in the early nine right, Yeah, Yeah,

58
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: Apparently by the twelve hundreds, the concept of diving bells

59
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: were so I guess entrenched in societies around the world,

60
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: civilizations around the world, that they were just routinely used

61
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: for all sorts of different stuff. Yeah, Aristotle wrote about it. Yeah,

62
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: back in the fourth century BC. Right, Yeah, that's a

63
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: long time ago. So he was he was the first,

64
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: I take it to mention diving bells. Who to describe them? Right? Yeah?

65
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: Should we read that quote? I think it's a good

66
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: but you have to read it in an aristotlely voice. Aristotelean, Um, well,

67
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: I really have no idea what ancient Greeks sounded like. Well,

68
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: the key is that no one does, so you can

69
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: just make it up. They enable divers to respire equally

70
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: well by letting down a cauldron, but this does not

71
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: fill with water, but retains the air, for it is

72
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: forced straight down into the vatas I just added a German. Yeah,

73
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say there was an eighty five percent

74
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: chance that the Greeks were gonna sound like Sean Connery

75
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 1: coming out of you. Yeah, that wasn't Sean Connery. Um

76
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: so yeah, So Aristotle's talking about this, and the very

77
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: fact that he's talking about diving bells proves at least

78
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: that the idea was in place at the time. Yeah,

79
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: there's some legends that, um, Alexander the Great, who was

80
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: actually a student of Aristotle's, used a diving bell. Yeah,

81
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: there's there's pictures drawings of you know, Alexander a Great,

82
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: like laying down or sitting down beneath the water in

83
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: some sort of a you know, diving bell or or

84
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: like a barrel or magic bubble some Sorry, yeah, but

85
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: we don't know if that means he just talked about

86
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: it a lot and like draw pictures of me doing this,

87
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: or if he actually tried it. Um, we're just not sure. Well,

88
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: so supposedly he used it one when he was eleven,

89
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: but then again as an older man during the Siege

90
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: of Tire in a three thirty two b c Um

91
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: And I looked that up and it looked like it

92
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: seems pretty reasonable, Like apparently there was some underwater obstructions

93
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: around Tire and he had some underwater divers removing him,

94
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: so he used a diving bell to go check on

95
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: their work. Not the most fantastical tale anyone could tell

96
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: if they were just making stuff up about him using

97
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: a diving bell. So I kind of buy that one, Yeah,

98
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: I could buy it. And of course da Vinci sketched

99
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: them out because he invented everything. Even if he didn't

100
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: properly invented, he at least sketched out ideas. You know, well, yeah,

101
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: he had a lot of great ideas that have come

102
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: to life now. The star Trek phaser really okay. But

103
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: Aristotle he kind of hints at the basic physics behind

104
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: the diving bell. He says that you have a capsule

105
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 1: that you're forcing straight down into a water the water,

106
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: and um, the air bubble, whatever air was inside is

107
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: pressed upwards so long as the vessel is concave right, yeah,

108
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: and so long as it is straight down. Like you said,

109
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: you don't want this thing because you know, if you've

110
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: ever played in the bathtub, and I know you do,

111
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: you you know, if you take a cup and invert

112
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: it and just push it straight down, there's gonna be water.

113
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: And then if you want to make make it poop,

114
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: you tilted on a side and the air comes out

115
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: in little bubbles. That's true, you know, because a poop

116
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: or shoot a duck. It shoots a duck. But I

117
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: think every kid has done stuff like that, and that's

118
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: essentially what all a diving bell is. Yeah, it's just

119
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: really heavy. Yeah, because when you have a up above

120
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: water upside down has air in it. When it contacts

121
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: the water, the air can escape any longer because of

122
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: the water surface tension, and then when you push it up,

123
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: the water compresses the air. That's right. So that's all

124
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: you have, like you said, at the top of a

125
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: diving belt, inside is compressed air and human beings can

126
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: breathe that. Yeah. It doesn't have to be concave though,

127
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: does it. I don't think so. But later I think, well,

128
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: I think there needs to be some sort of point

129
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: that the air can be pressed up into, but maybe not.

130
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: I've seen here they're concave, so maybe that's the best

131
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: designed for a diving belt. But yeah, not everybody's used

132
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: concave designs. Yeah, but I mean many were shaped like

133
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: bells somewhere, barrels like whiskey barrels, um somewhere, wooden, many

134
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: were iron um. There were They were trying all sorts

135
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: of things basically just to see if it works right,

136
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: and they figured out like, the heavier the better, because

137
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: this thing had to be able to go down to

138
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: the to the bottom of the sea, whatever depth that was,

139
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: and not tip over. Yeah, it couldn't tip over, and

140
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: it had to be balanced too, so you had to

141
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: have ballasts. If you weren't using an iron diving bellet,

142
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: you had to put weights on it and they had

143
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: to be balanced or else it would tip over. It

144
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: was a big deal. Yeah, And I think the key

145
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: here is this is breathable air, right like Um, It

146
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: depends on how deep you are and how big your

147
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: bell is, obviously, but I think one example I gave

148
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: in here was if you have a ten foot tall

149
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: bell down, that's only about eleven inches of air. Um. Now,

150
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they were going that deep back then,

151
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: or at least they were not smart to do. So, No,

152
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: those are the ones that died, that's right. So one

153
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: of the other problems that these people faced aside from dying,

154
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: because they went too deep and ended up with just

155
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: eleven inches of air. Yeah. Now we should point out

156
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: that before we go any further physically speaking, that that

157
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: by volume, that's eleven inches of air. But that's still

158
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: the same amount of air that filled up the diving

159
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: bell above water. So right, it's compressed, So you have

160
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: compressed there, so all those oxygen molecules are still there.

161
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: They're just in compressed format. The problem is if you're

162
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: in there, you're compressed too, right, And when you're in

163
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: that state of compression, UM, the oxygen and the nitrogen

164
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: in your bloodstream get compressed as well and they dissolve,

165
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: which isn't a problem with the oxygen because the tissues

166
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: are surrounding tissues absorbed that oxygen and they love it.

167
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: It's like yelling to them. But the nitrogen remains dissolved

168
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: in the blood until you decompress. Then you have a problem.

169
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: Then you have a radio head out one. Do they

170
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: have one called the Bents? Yeah, I didn't know. It's

171
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: great one. It was the one that preceded okay computer

172
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: sort of. Did they make a bad album ever? No,

173
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Yeah, that's what the Bends is,

174
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: and that can um when the when the nitrogen UH

175
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: tries to escape, it forms little bubbles that block blood vessels,

176
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: and that's why you can have a stroke or a

177
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: heart attack if you ascend too quickly, and it can

178
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: go to your joints and cause excruciating pain. I imagine crippling.

179
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: Remember I mentioned being crippled before. Yeah, you've suffered the bens. No, no, no,

180
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: Earlier I said, like, you said that she's littered with

181
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: dead bodies and and crippled bodies. I feel like we

182
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: talked about my my life long crippling. Well, momentarily I

183
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: thought you meant then, Okay, I thought I remembered many

184
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: moons ago you mentioning Scooba diving something about the bens.

185
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: I've never had the bend. Okay, Yeah, of poor Scuba Cat. Yeah,

186
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: if he'd gotten the bens, I don't know. Wonder Scooba

187
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: Cat still around. I don't know who's kind of old already,

188
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: wasn't he? I don't remember? Boy, that was a winner.

189
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, when you come up too quickly, the

190
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: nitrogen in your blood undissolves, forms bubbles, blocks your blood vessels,

191
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: blocks your joints, causes tremendous pain, strokes, death, all that stuff. Right,

192
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: So when you're an ancient bell diver, I guess is

193
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: what you call just that, right? A bell diver seems right? Um,

194
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: And you were down for very long, too deep, and

195
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: you came up too quickly, you're in a lot of trouble,

196
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: that's right. And they made end up even understood the

197
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: bents at that point. Imagine they didn't. They're like he

198
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: just got the diving bell sickness right again. Yeah, it

199
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: was because he sinned or something like that. He upset Zeus.

200
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: So things when I went on like this for quite

201
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: a while, UM, through the Renaissance into the sixteenth century,

202
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: people were using these diving bells. It was all well

203
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: and good. They were having a blast down there, having parties.

204
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: And then at some point people were like, you know what,

205
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: I bet we could make this better, right, you know,

206
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: these guys keep running out of air down there and dying,

207
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: or they run out of air and they have to

208
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: come up too quick and they get the bend. So

209
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: how can we improve this? Or they're only fourteen feet

210
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: down sitting in a bell and what's the point, which

211
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: is magnificent, but the ship that we need to get

212
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: to is a hundred feet down. Yeah, exactly, like they

213
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: needed this. They wanted to have applications they could use

214
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: like two build things or repair things or get you know,

215
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: pirates booty exactly. And speaking of pirates, check Sparrow does

216
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: this with a canoe in the first UM Pirates of

217
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: the Caribbean. Yeah, he turns a canoe upside down and

218
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: like walks along the ocean bottom and I don't remember

219
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: how he pulls the canoe down. Technically speaking, it's possible

220
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: if he pulled it straight down, I think the magic

221
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: of Disney, but I don't think it's it's physically possible

222
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: what he did. Just just want to make or than

223
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: anybody who really liked that part pooh poo it okay,

224
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: so uh. In the late sixteen hundreds, it was a

225
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: Frenchman named Dennis Papine and m He was one of

226
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: the first dudes that said, you know what, I think

227
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: we can get some fresh air into there, and very

228
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: smartly and simply he used hoses and bellows that you know,

229
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: the bellows were outside obviously up on you know, the boat,

230
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: and they had dudes manning the bellows and pumping fresh

231
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: air in there. Yeah, and it wasn't even like difficult.

232
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: You didn't even have to navigate like where to put

233
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: the hole in the top of the diving The hose

234
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: literally just goes under the bottom and up inside and

235
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: then the air just presses up super easy. Yeah, so

236
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: you've got fresh air now. Yeah, they can stay down

237
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: there longer. That's all that's solved, basically, But it's still

238
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: not pressurized. The air they're pumping in isn't pressurized, that's true.

239
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: So they couldn't go any deeper. They could just stay

240
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: down there and do whatever the heck they were doing

241
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: sitting in these cast iron bells. Right, So we we

242
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: invent diving bells in at least the fifth century b C.

243
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: We have to wait until the sevent century a d

244
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: Before we make a real innovation to them. Now we

245
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: have a whole other obstacle pressurizing these things. How long

246
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: do we have to wait to overcome that? One? A year?

247
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: It's true. Uh, And it took an Englishman to do so.

248
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: Edmund halle Um. He basically attached these wooden barrels, he's

249
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: weighted wooden barrels to the diving bell and they could

250
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: be brought up and down, and they contained air at

251
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: the bottom of each of these as a whole. Uh,

252
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: that allowed water to come in, forcing the air up.

253
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: And at the top was a hose that ran from

254
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: that barrel to the bottom of the diving bell, and

255
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: there was a faucet. So basically, whenever it was it's

256
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: sort of like having air tanks down there. Whenever they

257
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: to um more pressure, you know, if they were trying

258
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: to equalize things. They would just turn their little faucet

259
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: and allow air in, and once the barrel was empty,

260
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: they would pull the barrels up, um I guess refill

261
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: them with air, which probably meant just opening the top

262
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: and then closing it again it's filled up, and then

263
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: lower it back down there and all of a sudden

264
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: you could control the pressure. And that was the same

265
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: um Halle who uh named a comment after himself. It

266
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: was no way that guy was all over the place

267
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: renaissance man. Yeah, yeah, that's where that word comes. There's

268
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: a post renaissance renaissance man. That's so. Yeah. So now

269
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: we have pressurized diving bells, right yeah, and basically equal

270
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: to that of the surrounding water. So that means you

271
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: can go deeper and stay down longer. You can you

272
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: you run out, like if the water starts to creep up,

273
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: you just add more pressurized air and it pushes the

274
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: water back down like it keeps the water at baby,

275
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: because it's at the same pressure. So to the water,

276
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: whatever is inside the diving bell might as well just

277
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: be more water. It doesn't have this crazy urge to

278
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: fill the diving bell up any longer because there's something

279
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: they're just kind of goes along. It's happy way to

280
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: the Mariana Trench. It's right. And I bet there was

281
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: some seventeenth century David Blaine that very shortly afterward it

282
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: was like, I can stay down here for two months,

283
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: and people like, who cares? Well? The horrible thing was, uh,

284
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: when you added pressurized air. Again, you're pressurizing. That's just

285
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: the diving belt, but the people. Yeah, so to become

286
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: pressurized to go down in a diving bell was a

287
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: pretty horrific thing to endure in and of itself. Yeah,

288
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: I guess um when they built the Brooklyn Bridge to

289
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, the two towers that that, I guess that. Yeah,

290
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: those are down almost to the bedrock. They were going

291
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: to go down the bed rock, and then they found

292
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: out like there's some pretty stable aggregate defeat above bedrocks,

293
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: so they just planted them on those. But um, to

294
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: construct those, they had to drop these huge casans, which

295
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: are basically like giant structural diving bells, and they pressurized

296
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: them and it kept the water of the river out,

297
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: so like literally the river's just flowing around this stuff.

298
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: But there's men working in these things and they'd have

299
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: to pressurize before going in them, and it was just

300
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: like this. Their ear drums would burst once in a

301
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: while as they were being pressure because it wasn't like gently,

302
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, I guess it was better

303
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: than just walking right into the casson, but it was

304
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: still pretty rough. And then they go and working there

305
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: for a couple of hours and then come out and

306
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: hopefully not get decompression sickness to bends. But actually the

307
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: project manager, the son of the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge,

308
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: Washington Row Billy is the Sun, he suffered a lifelong

309
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: crippling from decompression sickness after going and inspecting some of

310
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: the work in one of the Kim something coming out

311
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: too quickly. Well know, a lot of people died, and like, uh,

312
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: I enjoy walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, as many New

313
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: Yorkers do, and you should think about that next time

314
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: you're doing so. Yeah, that like people gave up their

315
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: lives too, so you could like say snarky things and

316
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: Instagram photos of yourself and all the other things that

317
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: you do. Um, there's a really great Kim Burns documentary

318
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: on the construction of Brooklyn Bridge. Who I haven't seen

319
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: that one. It's good. It's like a straight up PBS one.

320
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: No frills. Well, he's not about frills. He just moves

321
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: pictures like around and hands in and out. This may

322
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: be his least frilly. Okay, yeah, I'm not knocking Kimburns.

323
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 1: I like a good Kimburns. Well you'll probably like this

324
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: one though. So uh. A hundred years after being able

325
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: to control the pressure with bellows and that the barrels,

326
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, um and English and other Englishman, a scientists

327
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: named John Smeaton invented an actual diving air pump in

328
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: and it was on the surface obviously, and took like

329
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: four guys to operate it. Um. And it was basically

330
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: like Dennis Peppine's original plan, but it was just mechanized.

331
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: So they were able to build like big ones like people.

332
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: There's many's like twelve people could go down and rush

333
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: things and like have a party if they wanted to.

334
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: They made windows eventually, Yeah, they put electricity in them.

335
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a little scary for that time period. Oh yeah,

336
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't I don't know, I don't know if I would

337
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: have trusted that. Yeah, I wouldn't be you know, seventeen

338
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: or early and we just discovered electricity. Now, let's put

339
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: it in under water. And they used them for, like

340
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: you said, building bridges and repairing docks, and early saboteurs

341
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: would sneak up underwater to um cut the anchor lines

342
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: of enemy ships. Really, that's a very handy use. And

343
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: so you dug up a cool story about um was

344
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: that this year it was just this May. Yeah, a

345
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: guy named Perrison O'Kenny at twenty nine year old Nigerian

346
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: boat cook was on a tugboat, a Chevron tug boat

347
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: and in the Atlantic and it capsized and he was

348
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: eventually through all this, you know, capsizing and tumbling around

349
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and water flowing in and sinking a hundred feet yeah,

350
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: and sinking of course, ended up in a bathroom trapped

351
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: with air. Yeah, sort of like the same concept of

352
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: a diving bell. And people wondered he'd survived after sixty hours.

353
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: That's a good sixty hours. But physicists were like, well,

354
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: w how did this happen? Yeah, but you probably shouldn't

355
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: have been able to live that long down there, right,

356
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: they were. The press reported that he had something like

357
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: four ft of air something like that, and um, yeah,

358
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: the the chamber that he was in was only about

359
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: four ft high, So sixty hours of air shouldn't have worked.

360
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: It shouldn't have kept him alive because about it, like,

361
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: you're breathing, even if it is pressurized there, you're breathing air,

362
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: you're also exhaling carbon dioxide, and when the the ratio

363
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: of carbon dioxide or the percentage of it gets above five,

364
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: things start to go horribly awry and you die shortly

365
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: after that. Yeah, I didn't realize that lack of oxygen

366
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: isn't what kills people. It's too much CEO two. Yeah,

367
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: that's pretty interesting. Yeah, it can happen when you're on

368
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: a ventilator. UM. That's apparently a big risk. When you

369
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: innobate somebody's the ox the CEO to build up, you

370
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: can kill him. So anyway, why didn't this guy die? Well,

371
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: it turns out with pressurized air, especially when it's um

372
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: pressurized against cold water, c O two is readily absorbed

373
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: by that water around it. So when he was exhaling,

374
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: the oxygen was remaining, but the c O two is

375
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: basically being wicked away. And since that c O two

376
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: or the the air bubble that he was in was pressurized.

377
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: He was a hundred feet underwater um which actually helped him. Right,

378
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: he had a lot of oxygen. A bunch of oxygen

379
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: was just pushed into this little area. But the CEO

380
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: two is being wicked awayne That's how he managed to survive. Yeah.

381
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: It said for every ten ms you descend um one

382
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: atmosphere is pressure of pressure is added and it makes

383
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: it more dense, according to some lawmaker named Boil, according

384
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: to Boyle's law. And so since he was thirty meters below,

385
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: it became more dense by times four. And so that

386
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: meant that he didn't need as much air as you

387
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: would think for someone that's under underwater. And you know,

388
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: so how much did he need, like you need a

389
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: day of air? So he only needed six cubic meters

390
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: in the end because of the temperature of the water

391
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: and how deep he was. Right, and and also, I mean,

392
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: don't remember this a lot of air compressed into the

393
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: same amount of area. All those molecules are still present, Yeah,

394
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: they're just in a smaller amount of area. They also

395
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: think though, that it was connected to another air pocket,

396
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: which probably helped even still, the guy survived in an

397
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: impromptu inadvertent diving bell a hundred feet below the surface

398
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: for sixty hours. Dude in the dark under the ocean

399
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: with his head next to a toilet man, and they

400
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: said that he could hear the sea life scavenging on

401
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: his dead crewmates. That's perfect. That happened this May. Yeah,

402
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: not in like eighteen twelve. In May. Yeah, so there

403
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: you go. By the way, we'll insert this right now

404
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: because it's a good place for it. You were you

405
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: you were out of town. Did you hear about the

406
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: whole Sharknado thing. Yeah, you predicted Sharknado. I invented it. Yeah,

407
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. For those of you don't don't know.

408
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: Sharknado was a very cheesy movie on a network that

409
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: UM aired a couple of weeks ago and blew up.

410
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: Blew Up didn't get as many viewers from the blow

411
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: up as they would have hoped, But um I watched it.

412
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: It was very funny and fun It wasn't dumb. Oh yeah,

413
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: it was terrible, but you know in that way. It

414
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: wasn't one of the guests from two and no on it. Yeah,

415
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: Iron's ear ring was in it. Terror Fred who uh oh, yeah,

416
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: she's looking rough. You mean I were out of the

417
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: country and we heard about this that's Sharknado. So thankfully

418
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: one of our listeners um alerted me to the fact

419
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: that I invented Sharknado because in the desert, can it

420
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: really rain frogs? Episode? Um, I say this, Uh no,

421
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think they're light, because that's the whole point.

422
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: Even an updraft from a water spelled two miles an

423
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: hour isn't going to be picking up you know, great

424
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: white sharks. Right, that's that's a movie for you, raining sharks.

425
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: So thanks to fan Todd Waters for bringing that to

426
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: my attention. That's impressive. You very clearly. I even said

427
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: a movie. Yeah, you invented Sharknado. And this thing was

428
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: released a good year ago, right, it was I think

429
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: May of two thousand twelve, so that was almost a year.

430
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: But for Harrison o'kine survives in a diving bell, all

431
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: sorts of stuff coming together, doing the bold as feeling

432
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: the flow. So I don't know if I can sue anybody,

433
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: but I'm looking into it. Have you, I see you

434
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: should always ask before you sue, like yeah, sure, so

435
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: give me some give me some cabbage, some bread. Little

436
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: shark Nato cheese. I think we should bring back bread

437
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: for money, bringing a little bread. Yeah, all right, so

438
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: they sent me bread though that would suck with like

439
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: a note that decisions want shaped like a shark. Yeah,

440
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: maybe we should bring back bread into the regular vernacular

441
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: and then you ask them. Okay, okay, that's our plan,

442
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: all right, So sorry about that sidebar. I just want

443
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: to give myself credit words. You should be very proud

444
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: of that. Thanks. Um. Hey, I know I want a

445
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: good movie idea comes along, I'm all over it. You

446
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 1: and Iron's earing. Uh. If you want to learn more

447
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: about diving bells, you should type those two words into

448
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: the search bar at how stuff works dot com and

449
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: it will bring up this delightful little article written by

450
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: a young exuberant Chuck Bryant. And since I said exuberant,

451
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: it's time for a message break. And now it's time

452
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: for listener meal Chuck. Whether you like it or not,

453
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: I hope you're ready. We heard from another teacher. We'd

454
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: like to read these. Hey, guys, the reason I'm writing

455
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: it is to tell you how much stuff you should

456
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,119
