Speaker 1: should know from House Stuff Works dot com. Hey, and

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles w

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Chuck Bryant, and Jerry. The three of us were just

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: the bottomized, so we're feeling just fine. Globe of Death,

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: that's right, or or because it's huge down in South America.

35
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: Al Globo day lab wear, which I think I prefer

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: that one. Globo de lamuerte, Globo de lamerte. Jerry, she said, Man,

37
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: I think she did it better than anybody. Well, Jerry

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: actually speak Spanish. That's right. She's not a a faker

39
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: like us. Uh No, she's not. I'm so mad at

40
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: it and learned Spanish, are you? Oh yeah, you did German.

41
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: I did French, just so dumb, like, how helpful would

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: it be to know Spanish? Now? It would be pretty helpful.

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: I would love to chat it up with Spanish speaking

44
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: people I see every day in my life. Uh yeah,

45
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: well you it's never too late to learn, chuck, and

46
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: know what they're saying about me, right exactly? Yeah, it's

47
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: too late, it's over. No it's not. I'm saying it's

48
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: not too late. No, no, no, it's too late. I'm

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: not learning a new language. I think that's it. I'm

50
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: going to go learn Spanish just to show you, and

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: so you can talk about me in Spanish, Mama, Jerry can.

52
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: Uh so, Chuck, We're not talking about learning Spanish or

53
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: whether it's too late to learn a language, because it is.

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: It's not. We are talking about, like you said, the

55
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: globe of death also known as the globe of steel. Yeah,

56
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: apparently that was a Wringling Brothers marketing department invention or

57
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: PR department invention, because we can't have like a globe

58
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: of death at our circus. We don't want anybody to

59
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: see our elephants and start thinking about death, about sphere

60
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: of fear. That's a good one too. What about the

61
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty degree circle of intimidation? I just

62
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: came up with that. Why it's not that great? Huh?

63
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: We should know it was terrible. We should tell people

64
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: what we're talking about, because I can sense the frustration

65
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: weeks from now brewing with angry listeners already. So the

66
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: globe of death. What we're talking about is if you've

67
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: ever been to a circus or a fair fair and

68
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: by the way, this is we thought we would never

69
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: add to the circus arts suite, and here it is.

70
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: There's still more to come. What county fairs, state fairs

71
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: sometimes like um, like, if you have like a pretty

72
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: good music festival, they might have something maybe a Jane's

73
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Addiction show. Who knows, Yeah, what what's the uh? The

74
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: World's Fair? Remember those? Oh man, they still have them,

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: but they're just not the same any longer. I think

76
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: the US pulled out of them a decade or two back.

77
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: I think the internet killed it. As a matter of fact,

78
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, that's what I read because I just

79
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: the other day I was thinking, like, um, whatever happened

80
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: to the World's Fair? And it turns out they're still there.

81
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: They're called like International Expose or something now, um, and

82
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: yeah they are, just they're just not as interesting. It's um,

83
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: it's not about like the future. And they specifically said

84
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: that it's just the internet. Now you can go on

85
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: the internet and find all that stuff without leaving your

86
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: home in its roun so much. That's when we're looking

87
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: at so globe of death what we're talking about, or

88
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: we could beat around the bush round their ten minutes.

89
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Uh is if you've ever been to this circus for

90
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: those places, they might have this attraction where in there

91
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: is a uh steel sphere mesh steel mesh, so you

92
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: can see through it. Yeah, you can see through it,

93
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: but you can still see it's there. It's not invisible. Yes,

94
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: that would be amazingly cool. Yeah. Uh, wherein there are one,

95
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: but usually more than one, motorcycle riders riding inside of

96
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: a of a globe around and around horizontally vertically doing

97
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: a loop to loop, like all the way from the

98
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: top to the bottom and over and over again. And yeah,

99
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: when you like just one person doing this, this article

100
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: says it's kind of boring. I wholeheartedly disagree, and I

101
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: would like to see the author try to do it right. Well, yeah, sure,

102
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: but compared to like when you got four or five

103
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: people in there and then a lady standing in the

104
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: middle of smoking a cigar, that's another right, struggling babies,

105
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: that's pretty amazing. Yeah. Um, and I think the record

106
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: that I saw somebody was trying to break seven and

107
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: and do eight motorcyclists in a sphere at once. Um,

108
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: I didn't see anyone had actually done it. There's been

109
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about it, but I didn't see

110
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: anyone had done it. Um. Seven is the most that

111
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: I've seen, although I've seen with my own eyes on video. Um,

112
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: I just oh no, I'm sorry. Seven is the most

113
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: I saw with my own eyes on video. But it is.

114
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: It's amazing because you know, they'll they'll follow one another

115
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: in a circle, which is pretty cool, but then one

116
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: will like break off and start doing something perpendicular to

117
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: the other circle, and they'll just like just miss each

118
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: other every time. And it's just an amazing feat of

119
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: of um, machine and mind coming together in this. Yeah. Yeah,

120
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: which we'll get to. I think think, think, think I

121
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: might have it figured out. Physics wise, this is kind

122
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: of a rehash of the Sun episode is as hard

123
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: as it is to understand. Oh, I thought I didn't

124
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: think this was that bad. Oh, well then you take it. No, No,

125
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm not taking it. No, you take it. But I

126
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: just saw like a few basic principles and bing bang boom.

127
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: Well my brain broke trying to figure it out, and

128
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: I think I got it. But I also may have

129
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: gone insane and come up with a completely entirely different

130
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: interpretation of reality. Well you're on a podcast, right, your

131
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: name is Josh Clark, so I must be not you

132
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: want I want to see one of these things? Is

133
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: a motorcycle with a sidecar with a small child or

134
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: a monkey? That even better? Yeah? A cigar smoking, wouldn't

135
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: it be fun? Yeah? The monkeys just like what is

136
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: going on? Yeah, because that's what monkeys were put on

137
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: earth for for to do, to smoke cigars and sidecars

138
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: while we move them around globes at death. All right,

139
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: Should we go into some history here? Yes, because I

140
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: was very surprised to learn that the globe of death

141
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: was invented and patented in four Yeah, I saw it

142
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: was invented even before then, Probably that it was sometime

143
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: in the nineties in Europe, somebody came up with this act.

144
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, it is surprising. You think this would be

145
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: like seventies Daredevil era kind of stuff, right, But now,

146
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: the nineteenth century is when it was first invented. And

147
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: here's the here's the gas of the whole thing. The

148
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: original ones, the original Globe of Death was ridden in

149
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: on bicycles pedal fast, sir, and unicycles pedals super fast sir. Yeah, yeah,

150
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I don't see how that

151
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: worked because, as we will learn later in the physics

152
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: in the post ad break physics section, Uh, it's all

153
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: about speed. It is very much about speed. How did

154
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: they do this on a bicycle. Well, I don't think

155
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: they did the loop de loop. I think that came

156
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: later after Well okay, so they just did sort of

157
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: horizontal is circles, yeah, which which I'm sure if it

158
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: was the nineties would be like Wow, I'm I'm impressed.

159
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah sure. I live in Wisconsin and I'm preoccupied with

160
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: death and horrible nous. So this is a real relief

161
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: for me. So Grand Repids, Michigan, where it was where

162
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: the first one was patented by a man bicycle stuntman

163
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: named Arthur Rosenthal and uh he had a stage name

164
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: Arthur Rose. He had a partner, Mr Frank Lemon. I

165
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: know that's a lemon Rose. I love that word together,

166
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: lemon rose. That sounds very nice, doesn't doesn't it It's pleasant.

167
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Um it's no cellar door, but no, but it's close.

168
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: It's in a different direction. It should be like a

169
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: type of gum, sugar free gum, sugar free lemon rose. Yeah.

170
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't even chew gum, and I chew that. Uh.

171
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: So they would do like these little, you know, ten

172
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: fifteen minute routines. Uh here's a quote from one of

173
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: the state fairs. Uh, routines of skill and nerve, guaranteed

174
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: to deliver laughs and roars. And but again that they

175
00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: were on bikes bicycles. Yeah, so I guess around nineteen tens,

176
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: the motorcycle started to become a little more ubiquitous, a

177
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: little more affordable. And the first thing that people did

178
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: with them was put him in the globe of death.

179
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: They cast their bikes aside and said, I've got plans

180
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: for you, motorcycle. Where have you been all my life?

181
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: So they started riding these things, and um, it just

182
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: spread like further and further a field. I guess I

183
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: started in Europe made its way to America because the

184
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: Arthur Rosenthal was from Grand Rapids, Michigan, right, um, and

185
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: it moved down to South America in pretty short order.

186
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: So I think by nineteen twelve there was a guy

187
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: named Jose Urias UM who had built his own Globe

188
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: of Death um back then and was riding in it

189
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: as well down in Brazil. And his family is actually

190
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: still around and still performing the Urias Brothers Globe of

191
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: Death act. Yeah. Remember our Circus Family's podcast. Oh were

192
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: they were in that? Huh? I think they were either

193
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: in it or it's you know. I was just pointing

194
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: out generally, like you do something like this and your

195
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: kid's gonna probably grow up and do something like this, right,

196
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: It's a family trade. Yeah. Now the other up to

197
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: the great grandsons are the ones who are UM performing

198
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: in the show. And what I read was that Jose

199
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: Urias is nineteen twelve, Globe of Death is still in

200
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: use by them. They have other globes as well, but

201
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: it's still in usable condition. That's the true globe of Death.

202
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: It's right, you could actually die right right exactly? Um?

203
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: You may have noticed earlier I said something about the

204
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: word patent from Arthur Rosenthal. He did get a patent

205
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: on May third, nineteen o four. And you also heard

206
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: us mention things like South America in Germany, and you

207
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: may be thinking, well, that's great. Art Rosenthal was getting

208
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: bank from all these globes of death everywhere. Sadly that

209
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: did not happen. Uh, he had a patent, but I

210
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: guess it was just one of those things where early

211
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds, you're gonna have a hard time chasing these

212
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: people down around the world saying I own the patent.

213
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: Did that give me a hundred dollars? Right? Well, I mean,

214
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: I think even though they their paths must have crossed,

215
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: they can't imagine the globe of death community, even around

216
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: the world was like a big group, you know. So

217
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was keenly aware of it, but I

218
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe he just didn't pursue it because there

219
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: was international who knows. Well, I just think at the

220
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: time it's just so hard to successfully do that internationally,

221
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I think you're right, man. So at

222
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: any rate, we got numerous globes of death all around

223
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: the world, A lot of the writers, Um, where did

224
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: you get this history section? I can't even tell you.

225
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: I don't remember. All right, Well, they mentioned quite a

226
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: few speedies, Speedy Wilson, Speedy McNish who I like, Speedy McNish, uh,

227
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: and Louis Louis Speedy, Babs and uh it says Babs

228
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: on one line, then Babbus and another, so I'm not

229
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: sure which it is we're going with Babs. I like Babs.

230
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: But um. He was notable because he was the very

231
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: first person to do a loop to loop and not

232
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: just merely ride horizontally right, which is very impressive for

233
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: what nineteen Yeah it was, I think his was third

234
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: four or no? He said the he said a world record.

235
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: This guy was a globe of death. Amazed balls guy. Um,

236
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: he said a world record after being the first to

237
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: do the loop to loop. He said, a world record

238
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: of a thousand and three loops inside of a globe.

239
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: They should call these amazed balls. I think it's still

240
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: they should. It's a great name, amazed balls of death,

241
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: amazed balls de lamarte. Um. But I think his record

242
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: is still unbroken of a thousand and three. It's got

243
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: to just be because somebody's like I don't feel like

244
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: spending around that many times. Yeah, there's just people are

245
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: too busy that would take ours. I have a family,

246
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: but like you said, there are many families all over

247
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: the world that have been doing this for many, many decades,

248
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: and it seems very much to a state in the

249
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: family biz. Uh. And one of the ones in article

250
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: they talked about a lot or the are they the

251
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: urias is. Yeah, so there was a heyday of the

252
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: Globe of Death between World War One and World War two. UM.

253
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: That may have actually been its original golden age, but

254
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: it also like spread around the world around that time.

255
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Then to um, there's another one like in the seventies

256
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: of the sixties and seventies, there were some innovations that

257
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: we'll talk about UM. And then it kind of became

258
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: like almost legit in the early two thousands when like

259
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: long established circuses started to pick up the acts like

260
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: the Urias is. I believe we're hired by Wringling Brothers,

261
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: Barnum and Bailey. Um. The Universal Circus picked up the

262
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: Willie family UM, and so like like they kind of

263
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: went from I think like UM, these kind of scratching

264
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: out in existence, like having to hustle to to basically

265
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: like corporate spa answorship. Like finally the big circus has

266
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: got hip to this idea in the early two thousand's.

267
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: So we take a break. Yeah, let's all right, let's

268
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: take a break and we'll come back and well we'll

269
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: talk about the globe of death, all right, man, So

270
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: we're back, and as you said, we're talking about the

271
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: globe of death. That's right. Yeah, So these things. Here's

272
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: the deal with these is they vary in size generally speaking.

273
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: Unless you're pulling off some pretty amazing tricks with lots

274
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: of writers are trying to set some big record, you're

275
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,119
Speaker 1: probably looking at at about a sixteen footage in diameter,

276
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: uh sphere, and they need to go. And it's amazing

277
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: that they were doing this in the thirties and forties

278
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: when motorcycles were so heavy. Well, the glove of Death

279
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: got its name from killing some people for sure, for real.

280
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there have been many, many, many injuries. But yes,

281
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: you're right, especially early on, it was exceedingly dangerous. Yeah,

282
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: So these motorcycles are a lot more powerful and lighter now.

283
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: So if you're going to be in the Globe of

284
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: death business, now it's a good time to do it.

285
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: Um you're going around generally forty fifty maybe sixty miles

286
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: an hour at the most, uh three and a half

287
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: to four and a half g's and that is g

288
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: force on your body, and that's what's generally happening. You're

289
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: you're on a trajectory that you have pre planned, but

290
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: you are not on a track. And it doesn't use magnets.

291
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: It's literally just physics at work. Yeah, Apparently a lot

292
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: of people think that there's a tricker and allusion to it,

293
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: and there actually is not. And again we're not We're

294
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: not to the physics yet. We gotta hang on, but

295
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about it eventually. So, like you said,

296
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: the globes themselves have kind of a universal size, although

297
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: it changes, but there are also other things that the

298
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: globes do it. So it's amazing enough that there's people

299
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: like riding around these things and on motorcycles. But I

300
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: think one of the first um families to use a

301
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: split globe was the urias Is. I saw a picture

302
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: that they credited to the sixties where the globe hydraulically

303
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: splits in half and the top part lifts up and

304
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: guests which side or which part the riders moving in

305
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: at the time, right the upper part, So they are

306
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: actually in the top half of the globe. And now

307
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: there's like no bottom. The bottom is well below and

308
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: there's a big gap between the top half and the

309
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: bottom half of the globe of death and the riders

310
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: just circling around the top. How big is that up? Uh?

311
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: In the picture it looked to be a good five

312
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: to six seven feet. Oh, I misread this whole move then,

313
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: Oh dude, it is not like because it's it's like

314
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: they can very easily just go flying out if they

315
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: if they got too close to the edge. That's their toasts. See,

316
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: here's what I thought happened during a split globe trick,

317
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: is that they they split it by about eight inches

318
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: and then would just continue to span that split. That'd

319
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: be pretty cool vertically. But no, this is yours, not yours.

320
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: You didn't invent it, but well I presented it. Yours

321
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: is way better. Yeah, no, I agreed, And to see

322
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: it is actually pretty amazing, um because it just it

323
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: just brings home the whole the whole thing before. Yes,

324
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: they have a bottom, but it's still it's a really

325
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: scary sphere of death, right, but now there's nothing, there's

326
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: just the top. It's it's it's incredible, it's an incredible

327
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: thing to see. Everyone basically should go to YouTube and

328
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: check it out right now. Split globe. Um, there's also

329
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: a family. I believe it's the Torres family who um

330
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: were the first to introduce a triple split globe. So

331
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: there's a top, a middle, and a bottom. And so

332
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: I think the one I saw was that they were

333
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: um circling the middle part, the middle band. So it's

334
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: really just this narrow little um band of steel that

335
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: they have to like stay on track with or else

336
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: go a little higher, a little lower again your toast right. Uh.

337
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: And you think that, um, the dangerous part would be

338
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: sticking to the globe with that motorcycle. That is not

339
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: the case because once we explain the physics, which we're

340
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: still not gonna do yet, not yet, not yet, um,

341
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: Like physics takes care of that. So it's it's pretty easy,

342
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: like there's a formula that you figure out how fast

343
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: you need to be going, and it's constant, like you

344
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about anything else. It's really those

345
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: g forces once you get in there these one of

346
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: these Urias dudes said, when they go upside down, he said,

347
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: our heads are at gray out like a right, they

348
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: come close to passing out in this thing from the

349
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: g force. And there's one trick they do with uh

350
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: is it one of their wives that they put in there.

351
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: And she she's an aeroist, so she hangs from the

352
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: center while they ride around her. And they said, when

353
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: there's a certain point in that show where she can't

354
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: see us and we can't see her, and you just

355
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: have to trust that it is mapped out and timed

356
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: and practiced. It's pretty awesome mapped out in time too,

357
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: before you even practiced, right, yeah, um, and it is.

358
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: It's basically all timing from what I understand. But they

359
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: have all that like just ticked off in their heads

360
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: just from experience. Um. One of the other things that

361
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: really comes into play are the bikes that they use. Right.

362
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: So for this how Stuff Works article, I think they

363
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: actually interviewed the one of the Uriah's brothers and he

364
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: was saying that like all the bikes they use are

365
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: modified dirt bikes, so they they're powerful, but they're also lightweight.

366
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: But then they modify them and change them from like

367
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty five cubic centimeter engine to about

368
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty cubic centimeter engine. But it's still

369
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: on that same light dirt bike, right, So it's got

370
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: a lot of power. But there's only a certain amount

371
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: of speed you're gonna get to anyway, because as we'll

372
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: see in the physics, which we're not getting to yet. Um,

373
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: if you speed up too quickly, you're going to increase

374
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: the G force too much and you're going to black out,

375
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: and that's a terrible thing to have happened to you

376
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: while you're in the globe of death. Right. So there's

377
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: only a certain amount of speed you need. So horsepower,

378
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: which is the quality in the engine that you want

379
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: to hit high top end speeds. The quality the quality

380
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: of that engine. That's thanks for pointing that out, because

381
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: I think I would have gotten it past a few

382
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: people as you not said anything. Hang on, man, I'm

383
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: here on my fingernails. Just so, Um, horsepower is not important.

384
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: What is important is torque. Torque is that thing where

385
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: you know when you hear like, oh, this car can

386
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: go from zero to sixty and like five seconds or whatever.

387
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: That's all torque. That's a that's an expression of torque,

388
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: and torque is um the power that it takes to

389
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: spin something on its axis, like a rotational power, right,

390
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: and so you know, like you're spinning an axis when

391
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: you're making a tire move. And the faster you can

392
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: make that tire move from a dead stop, the quicker

393
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 1: you can go in the shorter amount of time, that's torque.

394
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: And that's what really counts on the bikes in the

395
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: Globe of Death, because you want to be able to

396
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: just take off and be spinning around, um like from

397
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: a dead standstill in in no time at all. Well

398
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: at rock back and forth a little bit to get

399
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: get the timing right even better, but they still want

400
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: really high torque, and so that's the that's what they're

401
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: looking for with these bikes UM as far as as

402
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: the big modification goes as as much torque as you

403
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: can possibly have. Can I tell you a torque story?

404
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh you have a torque story. A torque story, let's

405
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: hear it. So uh vacation this year I love Palms

406
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: where I famously lost another tooth on a Christini on

407
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: a Christini. This was pre no. I think this is

408
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: after I lost a tooth regardless. We went out to

409
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: dinner one night at Isle of Palms as opposed to

410
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: just cooking up tons and tons of seafood at the house,

411
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: which is what I like to do, and we got

412
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: a car ride to the restaurant. I had a great time.

413
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: I had quite a bit to drink, big celebratory I

414
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: think it was a final night dinner. And then afterward

415
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: we call a car to pick us up and a

416
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: dude shows up in a Tesla. Uh a Tesla car,

417
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: Like this is a ride sharing app? Yeah, yeah, So

418
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: he shows up in Tesla and I was like, oh,

419
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: well this is great. We're all excited. Uh a little buzz.

420
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: No one had ever written in a Tesla and he

421
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: got us in this thing and he was he was

422
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: sort of telling us, it's very cool guy. Uh, college

423
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: student paying for his Tesla and school through driving it

424
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: for people, and um, he was just telling us all

425
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: about it. You know, people get a sense that Tesla

426
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: owners like to show off their Tesla's because they're so neat,

427
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: and uh, it really was cool. And I'm not a

428
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: car guy. I'm knocked out, not knocked out by much

429
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: in a car, but I was like this is pretty great.

430
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting in the backseat and uh, my friend

431
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: Justin's in the front, and his girlfriend and Emily and

432
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: I are all three in the back, and he was

433
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: talking about the torque and the zero to sixty capabilities,

434
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: the qualities of that engine and uh, and he was like, yeah,

435
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: you know, there's no combustion, so there's like zero lag,

436
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: like you hit the gas and you go, like even

437
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: your highest performance combustion sports car engine, well you know

438
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that lag at first when

439
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: you punch it while everything's firing, but not so with

440
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: the Tesla. And so when justin score for Melissa's like,

441
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: can you do it? Can you? Can you show us?

442
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: He was like all right. So he makes a couple

443
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: of turns and goes to this area, this long straight

444
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: road where it's pretty desolate, and he knows he can

445
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: do it, and he stopped and he's like, all right,

446
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: everyone hold on, and we kind of laughed, you don't

447
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: necessariously hold on. And he punched it, dude, And it

448
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: was faster than any roller coaster, like even the ones

449
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: that hydraulically launch you. Faster than anything I've ever experienced.

450
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: That quickly in my life. Yeah, I've heard that about Tesla's.

451
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: Actually it pushed us back into the seat, physically push

452
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: my head back against the head rest, and the only

453
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: thing we could all do was like laugh and smile,

454
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: and I think Melissa screamed like a scream of delight.

455
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: We were like four children, and it was like that

456
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: was one of the coolest things. And of course I

457
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: gave him this huge tip, which I think that's always

458
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: paid for that Tesla. He was giving people joy rides

459
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: like I guess I can. Anyway, it was great. That

460
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: is not a prolonged ad for Tesla, as I wish

461
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: I could afford one those things, but it was very sweet. Well,

462
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: they have like, uh the I guess more affordable comparatively speaking.

463
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: Was it the Model three? Yeah, but I don't think

464
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: that's the one that does what this one does. I

465
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: think all of them do though, because they don't have

466
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: that lag. Yeah, but they don't don't have that huge engine.

467
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true, Like, surely they don't all go this fast, right,

468
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's find out. We'll go look it

469
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: up later. And I asked him, like a dummy, you know,

470
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: how did you buy this thing? And he went I

471
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: went to a Tesla dealership. Oh, he was thinking, Dad, gotcha.

472
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: Should we take another break after that Tesla story? We

473
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: need to recuperate. Yeah, I feel like I derailed this.

474
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: So no, no, no, I've got to I've got to

475
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: digest that whole thing. All Right, we'll come back and

476
00:26:52,560 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: we'll finally talk about physics. All right, we are back

477
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: and it's time. It's time for the dreaded physics, which

478
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: Chuck is feeling pretty good about. So Chuck, why don't

479
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: you take a crack at it and then I'll take

480
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: a crack at it. Well, I mean, I'm not gonna

481
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: explain it all and have you re explain it? So okay,

482
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: because that's no fun for anybody. Well, you go ahead,

483
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: but we can we can tag team this thing. The

484
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: way I understand it is there are a few forces

485
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: at work here that make this all possible, one of

486
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: which is, uh, oh, mancye is it centrifical or centripetal.

487
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: I've I've seen that if you are a physicist, there's

488
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: no such thing as centrifugal center a pidal all right,

489
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: So that's the one of the main forces at work.

490
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: And if you are traveling on a on a just

491
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: a regular street. Uh, you don't. It's a pretty easy

492
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: calculation if you're talking about the maths of some triple force.

493
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: It just gets complicated when you're talking about a globe

494
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: of death, because you're not on a flat surface and

495
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: you're not just traveling horizontally on a round surface. You're

496
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: going all over the place. So that's when it gets

497
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: a little more complicated, right, keep going, wellson, triple forces

498
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: directed towards the center of a path, of a circular path. Uh,

499
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: you've also got the forces, and this is just the overview.

500
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: We'll get more detailed. There's also also the force of gravity,

501
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: of course, at work when you're in one of these things,

502
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: because when you're going upside down, as everyone knows, gravity

503
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: is always directed straight down. Yeah, Or when you're like

504
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, perpendicular to the ground or paralleled to the ground,

505
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: like riding around in the circle right on the middle

506
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: of the globe, it's still pushing you downward. Gravity is

507
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: always pushing you downward. And then finally we have the

508
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: normal force, which, um everyone's always heard the saying that

509
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If you

510
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: go and press on something that's not movable, like a

511
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: five thousand pound rock, and that rock doesn't move. It

512
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: is that the normal force is that rock exerting its

513
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: force back on you. It's in an equal and opposite amount, right,

514
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: that's right. And if it if it wasn't there, and

515
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: it's not always there, then you would push the rock

516
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: and it would move right. Yeah, well done, But that's

517
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: that's not all man Like, what was how do these

518
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: all work together? Here's so here's what's been messing me up.

519
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: And I think this this helped my breakthrough. Um, the

520
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: force of gravity and G forces are not the same thing.

521
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: This is what was messing me up. I'm like, if

522
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: G forces make it feel like you're being pressed up

523
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 1: against something, right, So like do you you remember did

524
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: you ever go on that like steel drum carnival machine.

525
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: I would just just spin right and you get pressed

526
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: up against the inside and they lower the floor and

527
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: you're just you're just hanging there. But you're like, of

528
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: course you're being pressed up against the edge. Apparently, and

529
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: this is why people think physicists are all crazy. But

530
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: apparently that's an illusion. That doesn't that's not You're not

531
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: actually being pressed up against the edge of it. You're

532
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: being pressed towards the center by the drum. Okay, that

533
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: centripetal force. And there's another way to think about this, Man,

534
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: I can do this, Chuck. If you took a key, um,

535
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: and you put it on a string and you started

536
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: swinging it over your head in a circle. Right, So

537
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: it's being on an axis, and the axis is where

538
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: you're The string is being old in the grip of

539
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: your hand. That's the axis of the circle. What's happening

540
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: is that key at any given time, it just wants

541
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: to go straight. That's all it wants, Man, Just let

542
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: me go straight. Um, That's the direction of its velocity

543
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: is straight. At any given point. The problem is attached

544
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: to the string, and the string is exerting the centripetal force,

545
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: pulling the key towards the center. And so rather than

546
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: being allowed to go straight, it's being forced into a

547
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: circular path around the center. That is what centripetal force does. Okay,

548
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: that's all well and good when it's a key on

549
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: a string, But when you're talking about the globe of death,

550
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: the string is actually the globe. The globe is the

551
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: thing that exerts the centripetal force against the person on

552
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: the bike. Right, there's no string pulling them towards the center.

553
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: They're not being pulled towards the center by the string.

554
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: They're being pushed towards the center by the external force

555
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: of the globe of death. Okay. And as long as

556
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: that globe is strong enough to take the g forces

557
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about in a second, that increased weight

558
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: against it and push it back in an equal amount,

559
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: then it will just keep directing that person along that

560
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: circular path around the center, which is in the middle.

561
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: It's invisible point in the middle of the globe of death. Right.

562
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: If it's not strong enough, then it's gonna break and

563
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: that person is going to go off in that straight

564
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: direction that they've been wanting to go in the whole time,

565
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: but of being been directed into a circle instead. Right. So,

566
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: in terms of an equation in this case, and tripleal

567
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: force is equal to the force of the gravity on

568
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: the motorcycle and the dude or a lady. They have

569
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: ladies that do this, now, yeah, they do. They have

570
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: a whole um, whole female team which I'll tell you

571
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: in a second once I find the name. So it's

572
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: that force force of gravity plus that normal force that

573
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: I was talking about on the motorcycle and the rider

574
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: by the globe pushing back on that. So once like

575
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: you can figure that out, like I said earlier, with

576
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: a mathic asian about how fast you need to go

577
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: as long as you know how big everything is, uh

578
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: that is the globe. But once that, once you go

579
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: below that speed and you start to fall, that that

580
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: normal force goes to zero. Right, So it takes a

581
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: bit of friction, um to keep the tire gripped to

582
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: the globe. As long as you have that friction, that

583
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: that um normal force can press against you uh much

584
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: more easily. R Okay, so I think, so here's the thing.

585
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: So this is the difference between the force of gravity

586
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: and g forces. G forces are just a measure of

587
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: how much gravity is pushing down on you at any

588
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: given point. Like if you jump up in the air,

589
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: that's one G that you're you're um with no wind

590
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: resistance that you normally experience. And we call it weight,

591
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: right that your weight is the force of gravity acting

592
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: on the mass of your body. But if you speed

593
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: up really really quick, especially say at like um a

594
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: circular velocity, right, and you you're being you. You are

595
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: actually increasing your own weight, which you feel is G force.

596
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: It's like pressing down on you. You feel heavy and

597
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: you can't move. And in in real physiological terms, like

598
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: the blood is being pressed away from its normal locations,

599
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: which is why you can black out right because some

600
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: of the blood is no longer in some parts of

601
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: your brain, and your brain needs the blood to operate.

602
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: But as far as the physics goes, gravity is always

603
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: pushing downward on you. Remember that, and the G force

604
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: is pushing you and making you feel like you're being

605
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: pushed outward, when really it's the the combination of your

606
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: circular velocity and the radius, the distance between the edge

607
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: of the circle in the center of the circle at

608
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: any given point. And the more the more you increase

609
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 1: your speed or the less of the radius, the stronger

610
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: the G force or the higher than the G forces

611
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: against you. So if you have a small little um

612
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: globe of death, or you're traveling really really fast in

613
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: the globe of death, you're going to very quickly reach

614
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 1: a G force to where like you're not only black out,

615
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: but you you can die from that as well. Right,

616
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: So they actually, like you said, before the the timing

617
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: is what they have in their heads. But they can

618
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: sit down and and mathematically calculate what they need to,

619
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: what speed they need to hit at, what bike, what

620
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: like the weight that they need to be at and

621
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: their bike needs to be at, so that they can

622
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: know as long as I hit the speed, I'm always

623
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: going to be able to go anywhere i want to

624
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: on the globe of Death. I think we did a chunk. Yeah,

625
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: And so as far as G force goes like what

626
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: you can what you can handle as a human um

627
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: is what like about seven g s is about the

628
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: tops that you want to go right as as a person.

629
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember what James bond, Uh, which one was that?

630
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: Was that octopusy? I don't know. I don't think I've

631
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: seen that one. Yeah, he got in a in a

632
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: in a G force machine which was basically a big

633
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: it was like a centrifuge, big round room with a

634
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: pod on an arm connected in the center and it

635
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: would just spun him around. And of course he was like,

636
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: give me, give me all you got, uh, And then

637
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: they gave him kind of a little ride and then

638
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 1: the bad guy came in the baddy and started cranking

639
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: it even further and even further. And I just remember

640
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: being a kid and seeing Roger Moore's face like they

641
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: must have just had some powerful wind blower on him

642
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: because his cheeks were rippling. I was like, oh my god,

643
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: he's really in that thing, right. But I think, I mean,

644
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure that they did not get the physics right

645
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: and they probably pushed him to like eleven so they them.

646
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: That really rings a bell what you're describing. I guess

647
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: I have seen all those movies in you. I've seen

648
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: most of them. That's the Roger Moore one, so I

649
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: would think I have seen it, but um, and I

650
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: just that that comes to mind. But um, yeah, because

651
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: I can see Roger Moore's face going like yeah, and

652
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: that only happened once, right, exactly right, p Roger Moore?

653
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah for real? But you remember Colonel um John Paul Stapp,

654
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: the guy who gave us seatbelts and crash test dummies.

655
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: How could I forget? Remember his eyes used to like

656
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: burst blood vessels because of the amount of gees that

657
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: he was being pushed to. Yeah, but I think so

658
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: you mentioned the seven gees that was um what a

659
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: guy named Guy Martin who is a motorcyclist who actually

660
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: set the world record for the fastest anyone's um hit

661
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: a wall of death with which is basically like a

662
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: globe of death, but without the top and the bottom.

663
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: It's more like a barrel. Yeah, exactly. Um, and that's

664
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: just riding horizontally super fast. In his case, I think

665
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: what he had seventy eight miles, yes, and the Guinness

666
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: people said we're here and you've got two chances to

667
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: get to sixty miles per hour, and he did like

668
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: seventy two I think the first time, and then seventy

669
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: eight the second time. I just seen that. That was

670
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: probably it probably looked like Roger Moore. And I think

671
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: that was a moonraker. I don't. I don't think I

672
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: see moonrakers either. Well, Moonraker was the one that was.

673
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: It was for James Bond. It was very futuristic. I

674
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: had to deal with outer space and stuff like that.

675
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: Doesn't he like do it in zero gravity with the

676
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: Bond girl? Of course he does. Um. What was the

677
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: one where he's got that lotus that turns into a submarine. Man.

678
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: I want to say the spy he loved me? Or

679
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: I think he might be right I don't know. I

680
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: know that geez somewhere Matt Gorley is spinning in his

681
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: chair and Los Angeles, I can't remember. I can't either. Yeah.

682
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: I love my bond, but I just don't have them

683
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: all like mapped out in memorized. If you do want

684
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: to see that, um guy Martin break that world record.

685
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: Apparently the Channel four over in the UK UM sponsored it,

686
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: so I'm sure they have it somewhere. Yah. Yeah. And lastly, Chuck,

687
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: I have to give a huge, huge shout out to

688
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: UM PBS Digital Studios, Crash Course Physics for helping break

689
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: my brain into understanding of the centriple force thing that

690
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: you didn't go to, Uh, Nickelodeon Science. They didn't have it.

691
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: They didn't have what I was looking for. Yeah, we

692
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: said this at live shows. I don't know if we've

693
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: ever said on the air, but uh, children's science websites

694
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: are great, great places to understand complex science if you

695
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: don't get it. UM, we go there a lot, and

696
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: that's we don't only go there, but a lot of times.

697
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: That's a great starting point for breaking things down in

698
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: an easy way. So we highly recommend it. Agreed, there's

699
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: no shame, no not at all. Uh, you got anything else?

700
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: I got nothing else. Well. Uh, if you want to

701
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: know more about the globe of death, just go start

702
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: why Global Death videos. They're pretty awesome. Uh. And in

703
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: the meantime, you can check out this article on how

704
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: stuff works dot com. Since I said that it's time

705
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: for listening mail, I'm gonna call this flu epidemic. Hey guys,

706
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: I'm a Master's of Public Health candidate in Atlanta at

707
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: Emory and we spend a good amount of time discussing

708
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: the flu. I remember you mentioning the Spanish flu and

709
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: wondered if such an epidemic could happen again. Bad news is,

710
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: it can and it probably will. According to public health scholars.

711
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: That is, the culprit is our meat industry, which keeps

712
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 1: an overbundance of foul and pigs in tight, unsanitary quarters

713
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: because of the way this industry is growing, and some

714
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: might argue due to its lack of regulation. Uh, these

715
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: unsafe conditions lend to the rapid mutation of the virus. This,

716
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: coupled with the ever decreasing CDC budget, makes it harder

717
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: and harder for vaccine scientists to create accurate vaccines. On

718
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: top of all that, the fluescine is a low threat

719
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: by most of our society, rendering us ill equipped and underprepared.

720
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: Most people are scared of ebola or other difficult to

721
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: catch viruses. However, influenza is a rapidly mutating and highly

722
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: aggressive virus that is easily transmittable and is right here

723
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: on our doorstep. Scientists predict the flu might be the

724
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: next most deadly epidemic if we're not careful. My recommendation

725
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: to our congress people stop cutting the CDC budget. Prevention

726
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: is key. I know will probably sound like a quack

727
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 1: not to me for real, but just wanted to spread

728
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: a little knowledge and say hey to my favorite podcasters,

729
