Speaker 1: Tsunami would be a good stage name. It's one more thing.
Speaker 1: But first we're gonna kind of clean out a dorm fridge.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go full cleaning out the sound fridge.
Speaker 1: Could we just have a couple of things to play
Speaker 1: for you, but I might as well use them before
Speaker 1: a fascinating dorm fridges and tsunamis.
Speaker 2: Probably a half of a Monster energy drink.
Speaker 1: And hand full of beers.
Speaker 2: Anyway, one slice, one slice of leftover pizza.
Speaker 1: That's unwrapped, just sitting there kind of dry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my son is a full on caffeine addict because
Speaker 2: of energy drinks. He's got the he's the he's uh,
Speaker 2: he is definitely a If we're gonna do something on
Speaker 2: the morning side, I got it. I'm I'm gonna wait
Speaker 2: till he's had some caffeine before I'm gonna talk to him,
Speaker 2: because he's one of those people.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, terrible.
Speaker 2: You know, you know, well, you know, you know people.
Speaker 2: I guess, don't talk to him before the caffeine.
Speaker 3: When I had a caffeine addiction and I stopped drinking caffeine,
Speaker 3: I got headaches for like three weeks straight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, hmm.
Speaker 1: It's terrible. Sorry to hear that. So let's clean out
Speaker 1: that sound, fritge, Michael. We got a couple of jokes
Speaker 1: we didn't use, Is that right, Yeah, a couple.
Speaker 4: According to Politico, President Trump and French President mccron often
Speaker 4: have bromance chats on the phone.
Speaker 2: What can I say, I like older men, said mcron.
Speaker 2: So he continues to lean on this idea that Manuel
Speaker 2: mccrone's wife is a dude. That Owens is being sued
Speaker 2: for those broad shoulders.
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama another alleged transgender.
Speaker 2: Did you see the video for dancing on Ellen? You
Speaker 2: can see your penis playing that thing around?
Speaker 1: All right? All right? He got another one for us, Michael.
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, in Florida, a Chucky Cheese employee in full costume
Speaker 5: was arrested for credit card fraud.
Speaker 2: So for anyone else.
Speaker 5: Currently dressed as Chuck E Cheese, this is a sobering
Speaker 5: reminder that your life could get worse.
Speaker 2: Wow, you're the Charles E Cheese and things took a
Speaker 2: turn for the world.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize you could have beer at Chuck E Cheese?
Speaker 2: Did you know that? Are you kidding?
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that, And I mean now, obviously I do.
Speaker 2: The only way you get through it, exactly, that's the
Speaker 2: only way parents could stomach it. Plus you had that
Speaker 2: you had to find a way to ignore what that
Speaker 2: ballpit was for your kids. So a couple of drinks
Speaker 2: would help with that. But then several drinks and if
Speaker 2: tempers flair. That's why there are always brawls at Chuck
Speaker 2: E Cheeses. Right.
Speaker 3: I stumbled down that rabbit hole on YouTube the other day.
Speaker 3: That's how I found out about the.
Speaker 1: Chucky Cheese fights.
Speaker 2: Yoh, it was great. Dang it really bag got my
Speaker 2: weekend planned.
Speaker 1: Wow, I just I hesitate to do something because it'll
Speaker 1: feed me those videos for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2: Right, Like, watch them. It's not a bad thing.
Speaker 3: They all up and it's so many hours of enjoyment
Speaker 3: just every once.
Speaker 2: Not normal, you know, you're taking perfect all of them.
Speaker 2: You want to take a little break. You know there's
Speaker 2: a waffle house fight, there's awful house fights. Yeah, my
Speaker 2: attention McDonald's cracker barrel. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: If I've seen a crock lay stripped to the waist
Speaker 1: and Marquis of Queen's Perry rolls ready, you know, hitting
Speaker 1: below the battles.
Speaker 2: Here we go, your relaxing in your rocking chair. You're
Speaker 2: thinking about buying that Reba McIntyre CD. What's there a
Speaker 2: fight about. You're doing that i Q test thing that's
Speaker 2: always fail. Yeah, man, yeah, all right? What else you got, Michael?
Speaker 1: Is that it on the joke? Was it for the charge?
Speaker 1: I guess with the number ten? This is a homeowner
Speaker 1: and an alleged UFO experts some ring camera footage from Compton, California.
Speaker 6: I was sitting in my sundroom with my son. We
Speaker 6: were staring at each other, like what do we do?
Speaker 6: We didn't even know what to do, Like I'm not
Speaker 6: going to call the police. I'm not going to go outside.
Speaker 6: I guess I'm gonna have to live with it, doubt
Speaker 6: because I'm not. I'm not chicking.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't see there's anything to worry about. But I
Speaker 4: cannot conclude that this is a hoax after seeing that footage.
Speaker 1: That's for sure what it's ring door well camera footage
Speaker 1: that vaguely sort of it's at night, looks like your
Speaker 1: classic movie Alien, some dude in a hoodie or something,
Speaker 1: and the light is weird.
Speaker 2: It's just it's and then and then who said they
Speaker 2: can't verify that it's not an alien.
Speaker 1: Because that was the UFO expert.
Speaker 2: Yea oh, a UFO expert. Clearly yes, And that's surprising
Speaker 2: that he didn't immediately say, yeah, I'm pretty sure that's
Speaker 2: not a UFO. He left the door open to the
Speaker 2: fact that it might be. Hmmm, that is a bum
Speaker 2: with a cart, right exactly?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, roll it one more time.
Speaker 6: Michael, I was sitting in my sundroome with my son
Speaker 6: and we were staring at each other, like what do
Speaker 6: we do? We didn't even know what to do, like
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna call the police, I'm not gonna go outside.
Speaker 6: I guess I'm gonna have to live with it. Doubt
Speaker 6: because I'm not joking.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't see there's anything to worry about. But I
Speaker 4: cannot conclude that this is a hoax after seeing that footage.
Speaker 1: That's for sure.
Speaker 2: You watch a video and it's a bum with a
Speaker 2: shopping cart, it is a bomb with a cart or
Speaker 2: any kind of hunched over like all of them.
Speaker 1: That's like the flip side of the cops have no
Speaker 1: one in custody, but they can assure us we're in
Speaker 1: no danger, right that guys like, there's nothing to worry about,
Speaker 1: but I cannot eliminate the possibility that it's an invading
Speaker 1: alien or al right, joker whatever. All right, so very
Speaker 1: quickly from the world of science as we speak. On Wednesday,
Speaker 1: the thirtieth of July, the year of Our Lord, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, there was a giant earthquake off of Russia's coast,
Speaker 1: and there are tsunami warnings in Russia, Hawaii, the West
Speaker 1: coast of the United States, et centa. Nothing terrible has
Speaker 1: happened so far, but I know I saw that it
Speaker 1: was tied for the sixth largest earthquake on record, according
Speaker 1: to the US Geological Survey, which most powerful since twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: which was the earthquake that triggered the Fukushima tsunami and
Speaker 1: nuclear disaster.
Speaker 2: How long have we had earthquake records? A century? Probably
Speaker 2: not that long.
Speaker 1: They theoretically geologists can kind of reconstruct and extrapolate from
Speaker 1: various bits of evidence. But anyway, so here's why I
Speaker 1: brought this up. Here's your top five. Come Chatka, Russia
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty two was nine point zero. Tohuko, Japan
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, that was the Fukushima thing is nine
Speaker 1: point one. Sumatra, Indonesia in two thousand and four was
Speaker 1: a nine point one.
Speaker 2: That's the one that killed a quarter of a million
Speaker 2: people with the tsunami.
Speaker 1: H Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Alaska nineteen sixty four that
Speaker 1: leveled anchorage, didn't it more or less? I remember learning
Speaker 1: about it as a kid. But that was a nine
Speaker 1: point two. And then Valdivia Chile, Chile in nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: was a nine point five.
Speaker 2: WHOA.
Speaker 1: Now, a couple of notes. First of all, I remember
Speaker 1: thinking during the Sumatrin thing that how does that tsunami
Speaker 1: kill so many people? Is it like drowning and stuff?
Speaker 1: Could you not cling to something or blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And it was pointed out that no, it picks up everything, Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything and swirls in rapid currents. So you are ground
Speaker 1: up like you're in a blender by the lumber and
Speaker 1: the metal glass and the cars and the telephone poles
Speaker 1: and everything else. It's horrible.
Speaker 2: The chunks of cement from knockdown buildings. Yeah, you wouldn't
Speaker 2: have a chance.
Speaker 1: And secondly, I remember at one point there was an
Speaker 1: earthquake that rattled the radio ranch or something. We were
Speaker 1: talking about this, the seismic energy, the Richter scale, and
Speaker 1: we had angry people lecturing us that an eight point
Speaker 1: oh to a nine point oh is not like, you know,
Speaker 1: one eighth higher. It's ten times as higher as high.
Speaker 1: Every full number on the Richter scale is ten times
Speaker 1: as powerful. And a bunch of people yelled at us
Speaker 1: about that because I apparently we got it wrong. Well,
Speaker 1: according to the New York Times, which is generally pretty
Speaker 1: good about this sort of thing, the seismic energy released
Speaker 1: by a quake actually increases by thirty one point six
Speaker 1: times for each whole number increase in magnitude. Third, they
Speaker 1: came up with that scale.
Speaker 2: I don't know, more than thirty times stronger a nine
Speaker 2: is than an eight?
Speaker 1: Correct? Wow? Yeah, and you know, do the math. You're
Speaker 1: better at math than me, But from a six to
Speaker 1: an eight is astounding. Oh yeah, Well, with all respect
Speaker 1: to mister Richter and the good work he did, real roundbreaker,
Speaker 1: Why isn't it like a linear and is zero to
Speaker 1: one hundred?
Speaker 2: His grandson Andy Richter, who was the sidekick for Conan
Speaker 2: O'Brien for so many years, you should, uh, you should
Speaker 2: come up with a better scale that's a dumb scale.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's my point.
Speaker 2: And who decided, Well, we can't change it. I mean,
Speaker 2: whatever they decided in eighteen seventy or whenever they started,
Speaker 2: we got to stick with that technology. We can't come
Speaker 2: up with a new scale. Now, it's just what come
Speaker 2: up with a scale?
Speaker 1: A seven point zero is thirty one point six times
Speaker 1: the energy than a six point zero, So an eight
Speaker 1: point zero would be ninety three ish or whatever that math.
Speaker 1: It's a lot as powerful as a sixth's.
Speaker 2: It's like the spinal tap thing. It goes to eleven.
Speaker 2: Well why not just make ten the highest number? And
Speaker 2: then it's loud it goes to eleven. It's similar sort
Speaker 2: of reasoning, very complicated. Yeah, exactly what are you doing?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: I've never looked into this. Maybe i'll look into it today.
Speaker 2: When they talk about the big one in California, are
Speaker 2: they expecting a fifteen or a ten or what do
Speaker 2: they think it'll be?
Speaker 1: Well, it depends where it hits, of course, and where
Speaker 1: the epicenter is. But you know, a solid eight point
Speaker 1: five could be like insanely damaging in California depending where
Speaker 1: the epicenter was.
Speaker 2: Well, it has been several times, But no, I mean
Speaker 2: the big one, like a chunk of California falls into
Speaker 2: the ocean, never to be seen again. Is that going
Speaker 2: to be a.
Speaker 3: The article I'm looking at says a seven point eight
Speaker 3: or higher.
Speaker 2: Would be the big one. What was the highest number
Speaker 2: on your number one recorded there?
Speaker 1: Joe nine point five? So there's never been a ten
Speaker 1: in Chile in nineteen sixty.
Speaker 2: Well, talk about something you can't predict.
Speaker 1: I can think of two songs with lyrics that reference
Speaker 1: California tumbling into the ocean on Steely Dan's My Old
Speaker 1: School and two the Decembrist's Calamity Song.
Speaker 2: Any other examples, Sweet, I don't have one. I have
Speaker 2: one Metal Guy California's crumbling. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, by the way, I noticed we didn't play the
Speaker 1: cleaning out sound fridge a song either, Michael, you're trying
Speaker 1: to put Metal Guy out of world?
Speaker 2: Did he steal your girl or what you said?
Speaker 1: It wasn't a full cleaning out sound fridge. It was
Speaker 1: just a dorm fridge, so I didn't think we should hear.
Speaker 1: But now you're quibbling. Wow, still a fridge, Katie. Katie's
Speaker 1: right again?
Speaker 2: And who knew there were like footnote rulings on this
Speaker 2: sort of thing, very complex.
Speaker 4: Fridge.
Speaker 2: There we go, all right, well, I guess that's it.
