1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Hey, you're welcome to the short Stuff. I'm Josh and

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: there's Chuck and this is short stuff. Let's get started

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: starting now. Do you like puzzles? Um? Sure, Wait a minute,

4
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: is this like literal jigsaw puzzles? Okay, Um, yeah, I've

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: got no problem with jigsaw puzzles. That's as far as

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean anything these days, Chuck, don't you know the

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: world's ending? Well, I didn't mean like, do you want

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: to fight a puzzle? I mean do you do you

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: enjoy sitting down and doing a jigsaw puzzle? Yeah? Sure

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: I do. I mean it's been a while, but yes,

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: I like a good puzzle. Um, a jigsaw puzzle in particular,

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: I'd like to say, like a very heartwarming one, like

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: maybe a jigsaw puzzle of a Thomas Kincaid painting, or

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: of flowers or kittens or something, and nothing's terribly hard,

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: just something like occupying rather than challenging. Yeah. I didn't

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: uh do a lot of puzzles. I mean I guess

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: I did when I was a kid, and then probably

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: didn't for a long time. And we weren't a puzzle

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: family really, Um, but I did. There was one week

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: in college where a dude down the street for me.

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: A friend got a big puzzle and it was just

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: one of those things in college where you've got time

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: and three or four of us got together and drank

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: a lot for like a week and did this huge

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: puzzle and just had so much fun. And that's the

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: last puzzle I've done except for, you know, doing little

27
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: puzzles with my daughter. That sounds like a fun fun

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: that's a great puzzle story. It was a lot of fun.

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: I imagine that whole like weekend starting with a musical

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: number where like your friends sticks his head out the

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: front door. He's like, gets here and you stick your

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: head out and you're like, sort of here, it's here,

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: the puzzle finally here. Uh, that's exactly That's exactly how

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: it went down. This is a lot of jibber jabber

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: for his short stuff, isn't it. Yeah, So we should

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: just go ahead and get to it and say that

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: a named Sir John Spillsbury. They called him the dough Boy.

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: He was a engraver in England and a map maker

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: in the mid seventeen hundreds and he gets credit in

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: seventeen sixty six for creating the first jigsaw puzzle when

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: he Uh, put a map on a piece of wood,

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: cut it out, cut the countries out, and said, here

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: you go. Teachers, use this to teach geography. I love

44
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: things where it's just like there, it is right there.

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: That was the first time it ever happened. That's the

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: beginning of it. There's your origin story. It's nice and tidy.

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: So UM. It was kind of a teaching tool at first,

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: but also people were like, it's kind of fun putting

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: the countries, and let's do this at home too, or um,

50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: at our friend's house over a long weekend while we drink.

51
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: So it kind of kind of took off and then um,

52
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: in very short order. It also became a marketing tool too,

53
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: where companies would kind of, you know, maybe give away,

54
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: um a jigsaw puzzle that was a photo of a

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: mobile gas Asian or something like that. Um. So they

56
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: became very ubiquitous pretty quickly. Yeah, and they still do

57
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: stuff like that to promote your company. Um. They can

58
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: be little marketing tools. I no, Kodak has one that

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: they sell that they say is the world's largest at

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: fifty one pieces plus eight and a half feet by

61
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: six point to five ft. None of those things are

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: even close it's not the biggest at all. They're really

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: full of it, Chuck. I think they can just say

64
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: whatever they want their code. What are you gonna do?

65
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: I guess so. Yeah, So Codak does sell that one.

66
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: It's like four hundred bucks, and I mean, it's nothing

67
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: to sneeze at. It's a giant, huge puzzle. Our problem

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: with it is that they call it the world's largest

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: jigsaw puzzle. And I'm guessing it's not just us who

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: have a problem with it, but the people at the

71
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: Guinness World Records probably have a bit of a problem

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: with it too. Either that or Codex lawyers were like,

73
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: we have to ward this just perfectly, or else were

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: getting some trouble here because it turns out that this

75
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Kodak world's Largest Jigsaw puzzle is fairly mediocre compared to

76
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: some of the other jigsaw puzzles that are around that

77
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: take the cake for world's largest anything. Yeah, there was

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: one in two thousand eighteen in Dubai that Guinness recognized

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: and it was an honor of the Year of Zaid,

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: which is a year long tribute to the person who

81
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: founded the U A B S Sorry the U A E. Yeah,

82
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: Shaik Zayed been Sultan all nine in Nice. I think,

83
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: I think I got it. And this thing was sixty

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: five almost sixty six thousand square feet. Yeah that's um,

85
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: that's pretty pretty impressive if you have you seen it, Yeah,

86
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: it was pretty it was awesome. I mean, like the

87
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: pieces themselves are giant. They're like about a foot or

88
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: so square, and you know, the whole thing was a

89
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: little it was like kind of light cardboard, but when

90
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: put together, was quite impressive for sure. And Codex had

91
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: fifty pieces in change. There was one in Ho Chi

92
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: Min City in Vietnam that the students at the university

93
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: there put this thing together and it had over a

94
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: half a million pieces, right, so um, that was I

95
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: think of a giant lotus flower, right, beautiful it is. Um.

96
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: So there's definitely bigger puzzles than the one that Codex

97
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: touting is the world's largest jigsaw puzzle. Um. But some

98
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: people say, okay, that's great. Yeah, that's really time consuming.

99
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: But any schmo with all of the pieces can put

100
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: that thing together. Other people and this is totally unsurprising

101
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: to me that there's like a whole subculture of people

102
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: who are like, I want to be challenged by a

103
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: jigsaw puzzle. As it turns out, you don't have to

104
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: have a football field size jigsaw puzzle to be challenged.

105
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: You can do it with some very small surface areas.

106
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: There's one in particular called ice Puzzle nine that's just

107
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: nine pieces, but it's possibly the hardest jigsaw puzzle on

108
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: the planet. All right, well, let's take a break there

109
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: and we'll tell you more about ice Puzzle nine right

110
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: after this. Have you seen this thing? I have? Have

111
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: you seen the video of someone putting it together? No?

112
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: I saw a video of the guy putting jigsaw puzzle

113
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: twenty three together or twenty nine. So this is a

114
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: designer and I think he did both of these. Name

115
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: you Osaka. And if you look at ice Puzzle nine,

116
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: it's a tray, a blue tray that's about as big

117
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: as your two hands put together. It's very small, and

118
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: it's only got those nine pieces in there. You know,

119
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: they don't look like your standard puzzle pieces there sort

120
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: of you know, they can be flattened places and curvy,

121
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: just like a puzzle, but like a jigsaw puzzle, but

122
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: there's just something a little different. And when you look

123
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: at it, when you look at you think how hard

124
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: could that be And then I went to a YouTube

125
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: that showed a guy putting it together and it was

126
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: so easy, and I was like, how do people not

127
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: get that? That's how easy it is. And the only

128
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: thing I can think of is that it's it's easy

129
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: when you see someone doing it, but very hard when

130
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: you're just have the puzzle pieces. It must be because

131
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: this famous puzzler, Chris Ramsey took him two hours and

132
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: nine minutes and said that it was exhausting, right, and

133
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he he doesn't seem to be the kind

134
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: who would take like a dive for a puzzle maker,

135
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: like he seems legit. You know, there's a There was

136
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: another one. I saw a video called from a guy

137
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: named the Puzzle Guy. Who have you ever heard Croatian

138
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: people talk speak English? I think this is the video

139
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: I saw. Okay, so that guy did he Jiggs. He

140
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: did Jigsaw Puzzle twenty nine too, and he had some

141
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: real trouble with it. In fact, at the end of

142
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: the um the puzzle, when he had the last two pieces,

143
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: he was explaining how he couldn't get them to fit,

144
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: when he accidentally got them to fit and was actually

145
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: surprised that he finished the puzzle. Yeah, but it's great, man,

146
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: I love I love that accidents so greatation people speak English,

147
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: if they just sound so just friendly and amiable, it's awesome.

148
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: But as he was putting this together, one of the

149
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: big problems with Jigsaw Puzzle twenty nine, which was also

150
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: made by u Osaka, as you were saying, um, it

151
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: has five corner pieces, so one of the corner pieces

152
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: actually fits into the inside of the puzzle, and it

153
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: just seems to be extraordinarily difficult to put together. One

154
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: of the reasons why it's tough is all the pieces

155
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: are exactly the same. It doesn't form a picture. Um,

156
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: I should say they look exactly the same, not shape wise,

157
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: but but colorwise. They're this translucent blue or whatever. Um.

158
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: So you just have to tell from the shape. And

159
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: then some of the shapes look like they should fit

160
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: certain sizes um of like holes and that what they're called.

161
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: The shapes go in the holes in the spaces spaces, um.

162
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: But they just don't quite fit. It looks very mad

163
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: and it was maddening just to watch the video Yese

164
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: and Ice Puzzle nine. I wish I hadn't watched it,

165
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: and that I would have just bought it to see

166
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: how I would do. Um, and and I think, and

167
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to give it away. But when you

168
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: put the last piece in it, the idea is that

169
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: you have to get all the pieces inside that tray.

170
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily what you think of as a puzzle,

171
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: which is they all fit perfectly together and form a

172
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: perfect picture. Um. That's the only kind of hint I

173
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: will give is that, uh, you know, there can be

174
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: space in that trade. They just gotta all fit in there, right,

175
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: That makes sense. That's a good hint. I don't want

176
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: to ruin it. So speak of ruining, man, did you

177
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: see the video of Dave Evans from Dorset, England, who uh,

178
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: basically created the I guess it was certified as the

179
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: world's largest hand cut wooden jigsaw puzzle. No. So this guy,

180
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: this poor guy, he created a jigsaw puzzle, an enormous one.

181
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: It was like, um, twenty ft by eight feet and

182
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: if you're in the UK, it's six meters by two

183
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: and a half meters. It was just this giant puzzle

184
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: and he had it completed. He spent two weeks putting

185
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: it together, after assembling, like cutting it and then it

186
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: took him another two weeks just to put it together.

187
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: And he had in this giant piece of plywood in

188
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: his workshop showing it off and it somebody was filming

189
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: it and it just collapsed and he walks into the frame.

190
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: It just like about to lose his mind. He just

191
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: can't believe that just happened. Was captured. Yes, yeah, that

192
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: moment was captured on video and his reaction was captured

193
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: on video. It's worth it's worth checking out because you

194
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: just agonize for the guy. It took him another sixteen

195
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: days with a bunch of assistants to put it back together. Well,

196
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: here's another interesting record, and this these are the records

197
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: that kind of cracked me up. There are two people

198
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: seemingly battling it out for the largest collection of jigsaw

199
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: puzzles record. Uh Louisa figure Redo I Guess of South Paulo,

200
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: Brazil and then Georgina gil Lacuna of the Philippines. Um

201
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: have over a thousand puzzles each, and they keep kind

202
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: of coming back and forth. And this is just such

203
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: a weird record because the only thing you have to

204
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: do is just buy more puzzles. Yeah, that's it, That's

205
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: all there is to it. Yeah, like where does it end?

206
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: I guess one of them is gonna have to kick

207
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: the bucket. I guess so. But then someone else takes

208
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: over the collection and they're like, I'm gonna buy eight

209
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: more puzzles. I'm winning. You would hope so, but but

210
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, like, um, you would hope that your arch

211
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: nemesis would have enough class to be like, my puzzle

212
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: collection must be destroyed upon my death. Oh that's what

213
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: you do. Yeah, just set it ablaze or distributed in

214
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of different pieces to different people. Now, set

215
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: it ablaze. Don't give it to children, all right? You know,

216
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: how about this, chuck, If you're in favor of setting

217
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: in a place, you could give them to children a need,

218
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: But you have to stipulate in your will that a

219
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: piece is taken from every single one of those puzzles,

220
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: and those pieces are set ablaze. How about that? Yeah,

221
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: that's the worst. We've gotten a lot of hand me

222
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: down puzzles, which is what happens when you have a

223
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: kid and all of them are missing pieces. Why you

224
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: should just know not to even take a hand me

225
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: down puzzle because it's happen, you know. So, Uh, you

226
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: want to talk about this last thing, this seventred person puzzle.

227
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: March of last year or two thousand nineteen, more than

228
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: seventeen hundred people um got together to form the largest

229
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: human jigsaw puzzle on record. And this one was cool

230
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: because it raised awareness for autism spectrum to order. And

231
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: the piece itself that they formed out of human beings

232
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: is the symbol for the Autism Speaks organization. And I

233
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: think there were I don't know if there was controversy,

234
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: but that was surely no one like got mad about this,

235
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: but the question did arise. Is it a puzzle if

236
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: it's just a puzzle piece, or is it a puzzle

237
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: piece if there's no puzzle for it to fit into?

238
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh well that too, uh, And Ginnis said, you know

239
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: what this is, everybody. This is a largest human image record.

240
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: In other words, everyone getting together, and when you look

241
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: at it from space it looks like something else. Some

242
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: marketing research assistant saved the day. Oh yes, I guess.

243
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: The last thing we have to say about jigsaw puzzles

244
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: is that that one great Simpsons reference where there there's

245
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: some people sitting at a bed and breakfast putting a

246
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: jigsaw puzzle together. It's clearly of a donkey, and a

247
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: woman puts a piece into like the donkey's shoulder and says, oh,

248
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: it's a donkey. Right. That's like, well, you're not watching

249
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: what we do in the shadows, are you. No, I'm

250
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: saving it all up, I think. All right, Well, for

251
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: the fans, just let me say that's like Jackie Daytona

252
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: and his toothpick. Okay, there you go. I don't want
