In this frosty episode, we dive into the world's most pressing mysteries—like why grain silos are scarier than quicksand, and why ice is secretly the ultimate villain. Brace yourself for tales of ice derbies, catastrophic cat videos from space, and why the apocalypse is really just an elaborate scheme to take all our ice cubes. We'll also investigate the unsolved mystery of why playing the piano is harder than doing taxes, and how Jordon has been hiding his musical genius.
Plus, science is cool, dark oxygen is real (probably), and once you hear about "Once Human," you’ll wish you hadn’t. Also, getting hit by ice really does hurt—ask our intern. Tune in as we unravel the chilling truth behind frozen water and why grain silos might be plotting something even more sinister. You don't want to miss this icy cold adventure!

[00:00:10] What do you think about the piano?
[00:00:12] What about the piano?
[00:00:14] Would it be too noisy to learn?
[00:00:17] No, I want to learn how to play piano.
[00:00:19] Why?
[00:00:19] Because then I can write my own music.
[00:00:22] You can't do that now?
[00:00:23] Well no, because I don't know an instrument.
[00:00:26] I don't know an instrument.
[00:00:28] I don't think knowing an instrument is a requirement for writing music.
[00:00:32] You can just write out what you want the instrument to sound like.
[00:00:36] But I don't know.
[00:00:37] You don't know what an instrument sounds like?
[00:00:40] I don't know what a piano is, but I figure if I push the keys then I'll know.
[00:00:46] I can write poetry but then trying to put music to things is very different.
[00:00:53] My brain doesn't compute music.
[00:00:57] Even like...
[00:00:58] What?
[00:00:58] Okay so I used to inquire right?
[00:01:01] We had to take final exams where it was like identify which note is an eighth note and which
[00:01:07] is a whole note and stuff like that.
[00:01:08] You had to read sheet music before you go with?
[00:01:11] Tell me how I got 100%.
[00:01:15] Because it's not hard to memorize where things are on the sheet.
[00:01:19] I have no fucking clue what it is.
[00:01:21] I have no fucking clue what they are.
[00:01:22] I remember whole notes because they're the round one but like...
[00:01:27] Because they're the round one?
[00:01:29] Listen.
[00:01:30] It's whole because there's a hole in it.
[00:01:33] I'm so smart.
[00:01:34] Listen.
[00:01:37] Hello and welcome back to Mindless Prattle.
[00:01:41] I don't know.
[00:01:42] I started going with violin and it's fun but I suck at it.
[00:01:46] When are you playing it?
[00:01:47] Why haven't I gotten to hear you play?
[00:01:49] Because I suck.
[00:01:50] Well why do you suck?
[00:01:51] No, it's gonna distract you from...
[00:01:54] Like it distracts the cats.
[00:01:55] Like they come in...
[00:01:56] That's how bad it is?
[00:01:57] They come in and they're like that's not right.
[00:01:58] Maybe that's why they don't want you to mess with them.
[00:02:01] That man is hurting my ear.
[00:02:03] He is screechy.
[00:02:04] That's a...
[00:02:06] I'm just playing open strings and trying to play each string without leading into the
[00:02:11] next one so differentiating between the two but it's not for me.
[00:02:16] And more of a you get what you get kind of play.
[00:02:19] I always think I start with a ukulele for something like that.
[00:02:23] For strings you can build upon it.
[00:02:25] Yeah well I used to play guitar and the strings aren't the issue for me.
[00:02:29] It's the editing in the bow part.
[00:02:31] I can pluck it, it's fine but the string, the bow part...
[00:02:36] Not for me either.
[00:02:38] But then piano was my other choice so it's funny you mentioned piano this morning when
[00:02:42] we were playing a game but piano is harder like where are you gonna keep a piano to practice?
[00:02:50] Well you don't need a whole piano if you can get a keyboard.
[00:02:53] Okay where are you gonna keep a keyboard at?
[00:02:56] There's so many ones.
[00:02:58] I ain't playing no bitch ass keyboard, playing full size or nothing.
[00:03:02] Or you can get like a big electric one.
[00:03:05] Okay.
[00:03:06] And then...
[00:03:07] My question is still the same where is it going?
[00:03:11] Oh right in front of all the bookshelves.
[00:03:13] I'm sure we could store it somehow.
[00:03:16] You're well on your way to not carrying.
[00:03:19] I'm sure that they would have...
[00:03:21] How much are keyboards?
[00:03:23] You know what I'm going to the only reliable source for things.
[00:03:29] Listen, reliable source has not arrived your birthday gifts.
[00:03:34] Oh these aren't that big okay.
[00:03:35] No not for gaming.
[00:03:37] What were you talking about?
[00:03:38] Musical keyboard.
[00:03:39] Oh okay not regular keyboard.
[00:03:42] Musical keyboard.
[00:03:44] Oh perfect this one's tiny kids piano key bits.
[00:03:48] Educationalith.
[00:03:49] Overall picks 61 key electric.
[00:03:52] What is a full size?
[00:03:53] How many keys are on a full size?
[00:03:55] How many keys on a piano?
[00:03:57] There we go 88 keys.
[00:03:58] Alright that's what we're looking for.
[00:03:59] Not this bitch ass 61 keys.
[00:04:02] I need 88.
[00:04:04] I almost forgot.
[00:04:05] Musical 88 keyboard, musical key full size.
[00:04:09] There we go.
[00:04:10] Alright here we go beginner digital key piano.
[00:04:13] 88 full size weight.
[00:04:15] Sure that makes sense in my head.
[00:04:17] I like that one below it.
[00:04:19] The one below it?
[00:04:21] No that one's dumb.
[00:04:23] That one's got a plug in stuff.
[00:04:25] You don't have to insult my choices.
[00:04:27] Why was insulting the piano not your choices?
[00:04:30] It's a beginner camp piano.
[00:04:32] What is this one?
[00:04:33] Expensive.
[00:04:34] Oh yeah this is only for people who know how to play it.
[00:04:38] Look this is the depth 1s and this is the depth 20.
[00:04:42] 20 is better than 1s.
[00:04:44] What does that mean?
[00:04:45] I got no clue.
[00:04:46] Oh wait this one's the depth 45.
[00:04:48] Oh my god.
[00:04:49] It's cheaper too.
[00:04:51] Why is the depth 45 cheaper than the depth 20?
[00:04:54] I don't know.
[00:04:54] I don't know what's going on.
[00:04:56] What's the difference here?
[00:04:57] I don't know.
[00:04:58] Star for Vova.
[00:04:59] How many oh wait here's the depth.
[00:05:02] That's the same one.
[00:05:03] Oh this one's got like a cool little back on it.
[00:05:05] Oh I like that.
[00:05:06] Three pedals.
[00:05:08] That's crazy look at this stuff.
[00:05:11] This one's 400 even better.
[00:05:14] 10 instrument tones with layering.
[00:05:15] I know what those words mean.
[00:05:18] But.
[00:05:21] Yeah I just really struggle with anything requiring physical
[00:05:26] dexterity.
[00:05:29] There's none of that involved in a keyboard.
[00:05:32] Well that's why I haven't really played instruments before.
[00:05:34] That's why I've always done like wire and singing and acting.
[00:05:38] Video games.
[00:05:40] That's that I think that actually helped me a lot and I
[00:05:43] think that's part of the reason like why my visual
[00:05:45] acuity was okay for a while until like my brain was like
[00:05:49] we cannot keep up with your stigmatism.
[00:05:55] Video games I think have helped me a lot and they
[00:05:57] helped me with my reaction time and stuff because
[00:05:59] They definitely helped yeah with reaction time
[00:06:01] and eye coordination.
[00:06:02] Plus I don't know if you've noticed in traffic
[00:06:04] everybody's in my fucking phone.
[00:06:06] Everybody.
[00:06:07] Traffic.
[00:06:08] Yeah I'll be like sitting at a red light I'll look around
[00:06:10] and like the people behind me are on the phone
[00:06:12] people in front of me are on the phone.
[00:06:13] I am confused about how that has to do with pianos
[00:06:16] but go with them.
[00:06:18] Because I was talking about reaction speed.
[00:06:20] Uh huh.
[00:06:20] And so it makes sense don't look at me like that.
[00:06:25] No I'm waiting for the thoughts.
[00:06:26] So you're at a red light you know and it turns
[00:06:29] green.
[00:06:30] Yep.
[00:06:31] I go really quickly.
[00:06:32] Oh yes.
[00:06:32] Cause I'm paying attention and my reaction time is.
[00:06:35] You know it's recommended that you don't floor it
[00:06:37] as soon as it turns green.
[00:06:38] You know like not flooring it but like.
[00:06:40] Yeah you're supposed to take a second and make sure
[00:06:41] the intersection is clear.
[00:06:43] Yeah I look and then I go.
[00:06:44] Oh no no no you just said and then I go really quickly
[00:06:46] cause my reaction speed's so good.
[00:06:48] I'll be looking behind me and people are waiting
[00:06:50] like a minute to go and only one or two cars
[00:06:52] gets to go because they wait so long
[00:06:54] cause they're on their fucking phones.
[00:06:56] Yeah yeah.
[00:06:56] And I'm like pay attention.
[00:07:00] I'm not about to piss off somebody
[00:07:02] and get shot in traffic.
[00:07:05] So like.
[00:07:06] Yeah.
[00:07:08] That's the correlation there.
[00:07:09] Yes.
[00:07:10] I think piano would be fine too cause you could play it
[00:07:13] like silently as long as you had the headphones
[00:07:15] and stuff but like the the violin that have right
[00:07:19] it is quieter than a normal violin cause it's
[00:07:23] an electric violin.
[00:07:24] Does it not come with like a mini amp or anything?
[00:07:26] No it's got headphones right.
[00:07:29] The headphones great.
[00:07:30] Hear it fantastically.
[00:07:31] You take off the headphones you can hear it
[00:07:33] just not as clearly but so like the tone
[00:07:35] changes a little bit based off the headphones
[00:07:37] or not.
[00:07:38] It's so fun but it sounds better in my headphones.
[00:07:41] Well you should let me listen sometime.
[00:07:45] Why are you just talking?
[00:07:46] But today I injured myself right.
[00:07:49] Yes do tell us how.
[00:07:50] With ice and I think it's bruising a little bit.
[00:07:53] No no no let's emphasize that last part.
[00:07:55] With ice.
[00:07:56] No.
[00:07:56] Okay so I was at work and we have an industrial
[00:07:59] ice machine and I you know I flipped it up
[00:08:02] I've got my bucket and I'm scooping ice
[00:08:03] and I'm I scooped once.
[00:08:06] Is it industrial or commercial?
[00:08:08] What's the difference?
[00:08:10] I'm not.
[00:08:16] Let's look and see.
[00:08:19] Oh real estate that's cool.
[00:08:23] Industrial refers to any business dealing with
[00:08:25] manufacturing or commercial deals with any
[00:08:27] business done with motivate or gaining blah blah blah.
[00:08:35] I think yours is more commercial because you're
[00:08:38] using it to sell things.
[00:08:40] Okay our commercial ice maker.
[00:08:43] Well you know you gotta clarify some times.
[00:08:46] Okay so our gigantic ass ice maker.
[00:08:51] Why are you holding your wet ass cup over me?
[00:08:54] I taught you with my ice.
[00:08:55] I don't want it thank you.
[00:08:56] Are you feeling scared now?
[00:08:59] No.
[00:09:00] I don't have rabies.
[00:09:01] Stop it Patrick you're scaring him.
[00:09:03] I don't have rabies water doesn't scare me.
[00:09:05] No ice.
[00:09:06] No there's ice in there.
[00:09:08] Okay it's cold I don't like it.
[00:09:09] Aha she is afraid.
[00:09:13] Okay what the fuck was I talking about?
[00:09:15] The events today have traumatized her from
[00:09:17] her industrial commercial ice machine.
[00:09:18] So I scooped one scoop into the bucket
[00:09:21] I'm going into my second scoop and a
[00:09:23] whole load of ice just fucking
[00:09:25] smashes down on my hand and I was
[00:09:28] like oh ow and it was I think you
[00:09:32] said this too but they were like oh did you
[00:09:36] hurt yourself it sounded fake.
[00:09:37] Yeah you said that this morning like I
[00:09:40] was in the bathroom doing something and
[00:09:42] from the other room I just hear ow.
[00:09:46] I was like okay so I finished what I was
[00:09:48] doing and I walked out and you were like
[00:09:50] and you just looked at me go that hurt
[00:09:52] a lot I burnt my tongue and I was
[00:09:55] like were you being serious it sounded
[00:09:57] so fake good I don't know.
[00:09:59] They said the same thing and then like
[00:10:01] I had a tiny cut on my thumb and this
[00:10:04] tiny cut here and then a small bruise
[00:10:05] and I was like how did I get injured by ice
[00:10:08] let me what the hell not really it's
[00:10:11] burns you know nope today I got hit
[00:10:14] with ice and it literally felt like rocks
[00:10:17] hitting my hand I was like damn.
[00:10:18] Yeah they're falling.
[00:10:20] Yeah because they get like shoved out
[00:10:23] of this like tracing.
[00:10:25] Yeah it's an industrial ice birth
[00:10:27] machine.
[00:10:28] But it's a gigantic sheet of it so it
[00:10:31] all goes like boom.
[00:10:32] I've never heard ice make that sound.
[00:10:35] Well it's more like.
[00:10:37] Yeah okay it goes flat okay.
[00:10:41] I can't describe it it's like a deep
[00:10:43] sound. A deep sound go on.
[00:10:46] Don't leave me like that.
[00:10:47] I'm at why I'm waiting here.
[00:10:49] And it falls in this sheet and it's
[00:10:51] like pint it goes pshh.
[00:10:55] It goes pshh pshh there's two sounds.
[00:10:57] I can't make the sound I'm not an ice
[00:11:00] machine.
[00:11:01] Does it sound like ice falling?
[00:11:03] Yes. Oh okay I'm glad we just grabbed that one.
[00:11:05] Like a lot of it. Oh it sounds like ice falling
[00:11:07] a lot. Okay but it got me
[00:11:09] thinking about like pshh.
[00:11:12] Yes.
[00:11:14] How icebergs are formed.
[00:11:16] No. How there's no icebergs left.
[00:11:17] Shut up. The pullover is dying.
[00:11:19] Please don't say things like that to me.
[00:11:22] I'm just asking.
[00:11:23] About things that don't
[00:11:26] seem like they're dangerous but they are.
[00:11:28] Like do you know of anything like that?
[00:11:30] Who said ice wasn't dangerous?
[00:11:32] But like things that like you wouldn't
[00:11:34] think like oh I'm like ice is scary.
[00:11:36] No I think ice is dangerous.
[00:11:37] Okay like why? You can choke on an ice cube.
[00:11:41] That's your first example
[00:11:42] you can choke on ice.
[00:11:44] Where do you normally put ice cubes up your butt?
[00:11:46] No you put them in your mouth. Okay but if you choke on an ice cube it's just going to melt.
[00:11:49] Not quick enough
[00:11:50] you can die without it.
[00:11:52] I think you could survive.
[00:11:53] You'll suffocate
[00:11:55] and if you get water in your lungs
[00:11:57] you get water in your lungs because it's melting
[00:11:59] as you so put. Thank you.
[00:12:01] If you choke on an ice cube and get water in your lungs
[00:12:03] I think that's natural selection at work.
[00:12:06] Natural selection. Sometimes you just swallow
[00:12:07] water wrong is that natural selection?
[00:12:09] I don't die. You could.
[00:12:11] Okay well then that would be my turn.
[00:12:13] Anyway ice.
[00:12:15] People freeze to death.
[00:12:17] There was a whole thing called the ice age.
[00:12:19] Ice age people die
[00:12:21] because in the wintertime it's cold.
[00:12:23] Like you ever tried to invade Russia in the winter?
[00:12:25] No you would die. No I'm stupid.
[00:12:26] Right because of the ice.
[00:12:28] It's dangerous.
[00:12:31] Listen. You got to think back to future trauma
[00:12:33] that you use the code of the ice
[00:12:35] alright?
[00:12:36] Fending crispy way too risky.
[00:12:39] Fending crispy
[00:12:40] way too risky.
[00:12:42] He's ice missing with his dad.
[00:12:44] He gets it cold and nearly kills everyone.
[00:12:46] I guess I need to learn more about ice
[00:12:47] because I guess it's dangerous.
[00:12:49] Exactly. It's dangerous.
[00:12:50] I guess when they keep writing that story
[00:12:52] that's about ice. Did I have you read that one from my class?
[00:12:55] Was it cold? Yeah.
[00:12:57] Oh good otherwise it'd be water.
[00:12:58] There was the one about murder.
[00:13:00] Yeah look you wrote a story about ice and murder
[00:13:03] and then you went out today and went
[00:13:04] I don't know how ice would be dangerous.
[00:13:07] But did I make you read it?
[00:13:08] Yeah all the first part of it.
[00:13:10] Okay well he really liked it
[00:13:11] and he was like you should keep writing it
[00:13:13] and now I'm like okay I don't know.
[00:13:15] I've been editing my other book.
[00:13:18] That's good.
[00:13:19] Can you stop getting your ice water all over me?
[00:13:21] I'm sorry.
[00:13:24] Why don't you take notes anymore?
[00:13:26] I know you're afraid of ice.
[00:13:27] Why don't you be taking notes? What do you mean?
[00:13:29] Because normally you leave little notes
[00:13:31] and then I'm kind of no different
[00:13:33] ways to, you know...
[00:13:35] I kind of know different ways too.
[00:13:37] Like every time I type things
[00:13:40] you stop what you're saying to read it
[00:13:41] and it's just terrible.
[00:13:42] Okay but like it helps me make the decision
[00:13:44] when I'm editing the episode.
[00:13:46] Okay.
[00:13:46] Because I feel like my descriptions are...
[00:13:48] Have you read my descriptions?
[00:13:49] No they're lame.
[00:13:52] And I don't know what to name the episodes.
[00:13:56] Audience he's not helping me.
[00:13:59] Like have you seen my descriptions?
[00:14:01] No for the second time.
[00:14:03] Why haven't you looked?
[00:14:04] Don't read them.
[00:14:06] Oh my god are you not interested in our podcast?
[00:14:08] No the first like 60 I wrote
[00:14:10] so why would I read it again?
[00:14:12] So like the last 10 that you've done
[00:14:13] it's not a habit that I have to read them.
[00:14:16] Like it's...
[00:14:22] I mean...
[00:14:23] I don't know.
[00:14:24] What is it?
[00:14:25] Read your ears for all the costs
[00:14:27] and laughter you can handle.
[00:14:28] This week we tackle the hard stuff
[00:14:30] like tanning in a drive-thru
[00:14:32] how to compliment people
[00:14:33] and Ripley's vengeful nature.
[00:14:36] Don't worry.
[00:14:37] Well you're not even reading it in an exciting way.
[00:14:39] Oh my god!
[00:14:40] I'm trying to read it in a clear way.
[00:14:42] I think you're reading that one.
[00:14:44] I think so too.
[00:14:46] You're reading it in a boring way.
[00:14:49] There's this one.
[00:14:51] This week we have a feast for your ears
[00:14:53] as we discuss wild things such as people
[00:14:55] who are about at driving and the proper way
[00:14:57] to build a PC.
[00:14:58] Jordan has some adventures at the bar
[00:15:00] and Ripley gets major promo.
[00:15:01] We've got all that and more
[00:15:04] on this week's episode of Mindless Prattle.
[00:15:06] And then if you like what you heard, blah blah blah blah.
[00:15:08] Man you are not
[00:15:10] great in the sales department.
[00:15:11] We're not looking for clarity.
[00:15:14] I'm not...
[00:15:15] Some of them aren't even complete sentences.
[00:15:17] Like I used to...
[00:15:19] Before the program that we use
[00:15:21] it's a newer program.
[00:15:22] It didn't have spell check so I'd have to run it through other programs
[00:15:25] to check for spelling.
[00:15:27] Spelling I care about.
[00:15:27] And a lot of times I would check for spelling
[00:15:30] in other programs
[00:15:32] and it would remind me that I don't have
[00:15:34] punctuation or
[00:15:35] complete sentences or
[00:15:37] correct grammar and I would just be like
[00:15:39] wow that's crazy but everything's spelled right and post it.
[00:15:41] Yeah you get it right for your voice.
[00:15:44] And so...
[00:15:45] I think you should ignore it a lot of stuff.
[00:15:48] Okay but so
[00:15:49] the thing about
[00:15:51] things not seeming dangerous but are...
[00:15:53] Stop playing with your hair and put it away.
[00:15:54] Not on like four?
[00:15:57] The robot will get it.
[00:15:58] Yeah the robot, when does that mean you clean out the robot?
[00:16:01] Yesterday.
[00:16:02] You clean out the hair?
[00:16:04] No, you did not.
[00:16:07] Wow that was cool.
[00:16:08] Okay but so it got me thinking
[00:16:12] like
[00:16:13] what are like the weirdest things that
[00:16:15] have ever happened in history?
[00:16:17] Like can you think of
[00:16:18] anything off the top of your head?
[00:16:21] Like what?
[00:16:22] Okay so the first one I found was
[00:16:24] I think I had
[00:16:26] read about this before but
[00:16:27] have you ever like heard
[00:16:31] or...
[00:16:31] Quick sand? Yeah it's dangerous. People be dying all the time
[00:16:34] in that. The Kentucky meat shower?
[00:16:36] It sounds terrible saying it all out.
[00:16:38] You know what's more dangerous than
[00:16:40] quick sand? The grain silos.
[00:16:42] Oh god that sounds
[00:16:44] terrifying actually. It's like quick sand
[00:16:46] except there's no bottom and you just fall in
[00:16:48] and can't breathe and you're...
[00:16:49] You know people die...
[00:16:52] How many people die from quick sand a year?
[00:16:54] Hold on where did you come up with that?
[00:16:56] What do you mean?
[00:16:57] God that's horrifying.
[00:16:59] I guess it is September.
[00:17:00] Die from let's see quick sand.
[00:17:03] There isn't much data on how people die
[00:17:05] from quick sand each year right?
[00:17:07] Now how many people die from...
[00:17:09] Deaths are rare audience.
[00:17:10] Yeah grain silos.
[00:17:12] Grain silos a year.
[00:17:14] The answer is 24 people died in 2022
[00:17:17] out of the 83 reported incidents.
[00:17:19] Well it said this was an increase
[00:17:20] from the previous year.
[00:17:22] Yes I told you grain silos are more dangerous
[00:17:24] than quick sand.
[00:17:27] That's why I just don't go near grain silos.
[00:17:29] Yeah it's not gonna like
[00:17:30] eat you if you walk near it.
[00:17:32] It's the people who go inside
[00:17:34] the grain silos they go...
[00:17:36] I'm aware that the grain silo is not
[00:17:39] actually alive.
[00:17:39] You said you don't go near them.
[00:17:41] I was trying to make a joke. Why didn't you laugh?
[00:17:44] Because I might jokes better.
[00:17:45] Okay but I'm sorry about the Kentucky meat shower.
[00:17:49] Yeah.
[00:17:49] Have you heard of it?
[00:17:50] No I was talking about grain silos.
[00:17:53] Okay so in March 3rd of
[00:17:56] 1876
[00:17:57] a bunch of chunks of red meat
[00:17:59] and bloods fell all over
[00:18:02] this place in Kentucky
[00:18:04] which is why it's called Kentucky meat
[00:18:06] shower.
[00:18:06] But from it was like 11am to 12pm
[00:18:09] just raining chunks of
[00:18:12] blood and stuff.
[00:18:13] And I guess they tested the tissues
[00:18:15] and found it was a mixture of like
[00:18:17] horse and human infant
[00:18:19] meat.
[00:18:21] And people tasted it
[00:18:23] and all this wild
[00:18:25] shit trying to figure out what it was.
[00:18:27] Some people said maybe it was vultures
[00:18:29] vomiting up a meal because I guess
[00:18:31] they do that when they're scared or something.
[00:18:33] Yeah it's their defense mechanism
[00:18:35] they both vomit.
[00:18:36] It doesn't make sense that it would be falling for
[00:18:40] you know like it was like a lot.
[00:18:42] Yeah yeah yeah.
[00:18:44] So it's still a mystery
[00:18:45] but I was like could you imagine
[00:18:47] like this one lady described
[00:18:49] what she saw because she was outside
[00:18:51] doing her laundry or some shit
[00:18:53] and she was like
[00:18:55] I just looked up and there was blood
[00:18:58] raining down like would you not be
[00:19:00] like okay I guess the bible
[00:19:01] was right like I would be freaking the
[00:19:04] fuck out I'd be like we're hit.
[00:19:06] What year was this?
[00:19:08] 1876.
[00:19:09] Why did you look this up?
[00:19:11] I was going down a rabbit hole.
[00:19:14] Sometimes I just
[00:19:15] I read one thing and I'm like oh what about this
[00:19:17] and then I'm like what about this
[00:19:18] and I keep just like finding cool things.
[00:19:23] Okay.
[00:19:26] I just thought you might be interested
[00:19:27] in that my Bob.
[00:19:29] What else is seemingly dangerous
[00:19:31] but not?
[00:19:32] Okay well so it's not
[00:19:34] like the same thing
[00:19:36] like I didn't have that many.
[00:19:38] I just thought
[00:19:39] You just had the vague question.
[00:19:42] It was my question my starter and then
[00:19:44] I kind of progressed.
[00:19:45] That was a big question and one bullet point.
[00:19:47] I got a whole hour's worth here.
[00:19:48] Have you ever heard of I'm not sure how it's pronounced
[00:19:50] if it's Vela or Vela.
[00:19:52] I think it's Vela.
[00:19:53] The Vela incident?
[00:19:55] Is all your things involving blood?
[00:19:58] No it's not blood it's about nuclear testing.
[00:20:01] Right no one died from that.
[00:20:03] Yeah but it's not the point of this.
[00:20:07] Okay so
[00:20:08] there was like an unidentified
[00:20:10] double flash of light
[00:20:12] like crazy bright
[00:20:14] seen by the American Vela Hotel
[00:20:16] satellite in 1979
[00:20:18] near the Prince Edward Islands
[00:20:20] between Africa and Antarctica.
[00:20:23] But like there wasn't
[00:20:25] anything planned or approved
[00:20:26] nobody knew what it was
[00:20:28] and
[00:20:30] most of the documents about it
[00:20:32] have been classified by the US government.
[00:20:35] Okay
[00:20:36] but most people think it was an undeclared
[00:20:39] nuclear test between South Africa
[00:20:40] and Israel
[00:20:41] and I was like that's interesting
[00:20:43] like why would those two
[00:20:44] They're talking about the location or like they're the ones who did it?
[00:20:48] Yeah like why would those two be working together
[00:20:50] but also like
[00:20:51] why would halfway between Antarctica
[00:20:54] and South Africa
[00:20:57] be a good place to test bombs?
[00:21:00] You say Israel and South Africa?
[00:21:02] Yeah right?
[00:21:04] Okay.
[00:21:05] Interesting. I mean they're just not near each other at all.
[00:21:08] But then I couldn't figure out anything
[00:21:10] because again most of the documents
[00:21:12] are classified so nobody knows like
[00:21:14] what it actually was but.
[00:21:15] Juer, juer.
[00:21:18] Did you see that NASA sent
[00:21:20] a cat video into space?
[00:21:22] No I love that though kind of cat.
[00:21:26] No that's not the point.
[00:21:27] Not the point even remotely.
[00:21:29] What is the point?
[00:21:32] Sorry.
[00:21:33] So you ever watched the Martian with Matt Damon?
[00:21:36] Yeah.
[00:21:37] We're like interstellar and they're like okay yeah it'll take
[00:21:39] X amount of time to get a signal
[00:21:42] to wherever they're at in back right?
[00:21:43] Like to Mars I think it's like a 30 minute trip
[00:21:45] to send a signal in 30 minutes back
[00:21:48] so it's like
[00:21:50] it's like
[00:21:51] like light minutes one hour right?
[00:21:53] Well NASA is exploring
[00:21:55] new ways to
[00:21:56] communicate in like the space at a faster rate
[00:21:59] because the radio waves that we send
[00:22:01] are just too slow usually right?
[00:22:03] So what they did was they converted
[00:22:05] a cat video into
[00:22:08] basically
[00:22:09] the same particles that we use
[00:22:11] in like fiber optic cables that go
[00:22:13] across the ocean floors to get the internet
[00:22:15] and stuff all over the world.
[00:22:17] Basically the same thing except they transmitted
[00:22:19] the light particles to
[00:22:21] a satellite which then decoded it
[00:22:23] and then sent it back.
[00:22:25] The round trip was I think it said over 10 times
[00:22:27] faster than the radio waves
[00:22:29] so that they're
[00:22:31] equates to like 10 times faster
[00:22:33] of being able to communicate into deep space.
[00:22:36] But I don't understand like
[00:22:37] how much faster would that be?
[00:22:39] Say it took you 30 minutes to send
[00:22:41] a message to Mars
[00:22:43] and then it took 30 minutes to get back
[00:22:44] so it took 60 minutes. Well instead
[00:22:46] now it'll take 3 minutes to get there
[00:22:48] and 3 minutes to get back.
[00:22:50] So you can communicate in like 6 minutes instead of
[00:22:52] 60.
[00:22:53] It's a big difference.
[00:22:56] But they used a cat video
[00:22:58] to test this.
[00:22:59] As they should. Cats for science.
[00:23:02] And it was just a cat that was chasing a laser.
[00:23:04] I think that was the video.
[00:23:06] I love that. Did you imagine
[00:23:07] a bunch of aliens receiving some random signals
[00:23:10] and they decoded it and it's just a cat?
[00:23:14] This is their culture.
[00:23:17] Yes. I do worship the cat gods.
[00:23:19] Well I was looking at this thing
[00:23:21] the other day that was like
[00:23:22] the amount of like
[00:23:24] coincidence that would have to happen
[00:23:26] for another intelligent species
[00:23:27] to be in the universe and be able
[00:23:30] to receive radio waves
[00:23:31] that we are specifically sending out
[00:23:33] like it's crazy.
[00:23:35] Because like radio waves we've only been able
[00:23:37] to utilize them and detect
[00:23:39] them for a few hundred years
[00:23:41] out of the millennia that humans had been around.
[00:23:44] So they're like
[00:23:45] if there even was like another intelligent life form
[00:23:48] and there are
[00:23:49] three centuries behind us
[00:23:51] they wouldn't be able to find it out.
[00:23:53] That's also assuming like we always assume
[00:23:55] that they'd be behind us. What if a lot of intelligent life forms
[00:23:58] are above us?
[00:23:59] That's what we're saying too. Or either way
[00:24:01] if they're ahead of us or behind us
[00:24:03] and they're not looking for those radio waves
[00:24:05] or those particular waves anymore
[00:24:07] then we're going to miss that chance.
[00:24:09] Like have you ever seen the theory
[00:24:11] about like humans just being a really
[00:24:13] basic civilization so the rest of the aliens
[00:24:15] don't want to mess with us because we're developing still?
[00:24:18] Uh, yeah.
[00:24:19] I mean we're
[00:24:21] terrible.
[00:24:24] I think
[00:24:25] the projection is that the planet
[00:24:27] can hold 10
[00:24:29] billion people before the resources
[00:24:31] completely start to die off
[00:24:33] and the population will plateau by itself.
[00:24:35] I thought it's already plateauing though.
[00:24:37] It's slowing down because
[00:24:39] we just hit what, 8 billion?
[00:24:40] But 10 billion is like the maximum
[00:24:42] it'll be at and it'll plateau and then it'll
[00:24:44] slow down. I thought the issue wasn't how many resources
[00:24:46] we have with the distribution of them.
[00:24:49] Distribution and living space, yeah.
[00:24:51] But it'll
[00:24:52] the math supports it comes to a point
[00:24:55] where no matter, even if you distributed
[00:24:57] all the resources to the people
[00:24:58] it wouldn't be enough to sustain more than
[00:25:01] around 10 billion. So what are you going to do
[00:25:03] when Earth becomes a survival beam?
[00:25:05] I don't know. That's what I always think too
[00:25:07] is people always think that they're
[00:25:09] they have the greatest odds right?
[00:25:10] Like in survival, like apople... apoplelepiply?
[00:25:13] Apocalyptic?
[00:25:14] Yeah, you fucked it up too.
[00:25:17] Apocalyptic.
[00:25:18] Yeah, the apocalyptic societies and like movies
[00:25:20] and TV shows, whatever it is.
[00:25:22] There's a slim population
[00:25:24] wherever they go of a few thousand
[00:25:26] maybe, right?
[00:25:28] Like if you do the math on it
[00:25:31] say that there's
[00:25:32] 10,000 people that survive, right?
[00:25:35] But that's out of the 8 billion people
[00:25:38] my phone
[00:25:39] can't even handle it. I gotta turn to sideways
[00:25:41] right?
[00:25:42] Out of the 8 billion people
[00:25:44] that's
[00:25:47] math wise, it's a
[00:25:50] .0001%
[00:25:50] chance that you survive.
[00:25:52] You have so much better odds
[00:25:54] of winning the lottery
[00:25:56] every day for the near
[00:25:58] future than you do surviving the apoglyphs
[00:26:01] and people are always like, oh yeah I'm just gonna survive here
[00:26:03] and I'm gonna survive there and we're gonna have a bunker
[00:26:05] and this and that and you're like, you won't.
[00:26:07] You won't survive that.
[00:26:09] You could have a million people
[00:26:11] survive and still wouldn't get that.
[00:26:13] If my cats can't survive, I don't want to survive you.
[00:26:15] Like also
[00:26:16] like would I even want to be alive in a situation like
[00:26:19] that unless like you're gonna protect me because
[00:26:21] like I ain't gonna be a female in the apocalypse
[00:26:23] like no?
[00:26:25] That's what I'm saying like
[00:26:26] even if a million people survive it's a .01% chance
[00:26:30] that you're surviving.
[00:26:31] At a certain point it's just like
[00:26:33] pull up in the apartment and
[00:26:34] hope everybody else kills each other
[00:26:37] off and I just don't get bothered.
[00:26:38] It depends on what kind of apocalypse it is
[00:26:40] if it's just like
[00:26:43] bombs are falling there's a decent chance
[00:26:44] you survive but then right after that a lot of people
[00:26:47] are gonna die off from the radiation
[00:26:48] if it's a disease that goes around
[00:26:50] we already saw how that happens, lots of people are dying
[00:26:52] a few will survive that
[00:26:57] ultra rich in bunkers
[00:26:58] random lucky people
[00:27:00] it's pretty much it
[00:27:01] but everyone's like oh yeah I'll do this, I've seen so many survival movies
[00:27:05] and I know how to survive in the woods
[00:27:06] you can survive in the woods
[00:27:08] if the apocalypse was a disease
[00:27:10] and you were very far off the grid where no one ever finds you
[00:27:13] but as soon as the first person
[00:27:14] shows up that has survived
[00:27:16] that disease
[00:27:18] you're dead.
[00:27:19] I'm not gonna survive in the woods
[00:27:21] No that's what I'm saying you would have to have the knowledge
[00:27:24] and be there already
[00:27:26] and purifying water
[00:27:27] and sitting in a hole in the ground
[00:27:32] sleeping in the woods
[00:27:33] sleeping in the woods with the creatures
[00:27:34] you're sitting in your compost for your farm
[00:27:36] like no I don't want to do that
[00:27:38] where are you gonna be at
[00:27:39] all the power is gonna shut off
[00:27:41] what are you gonna do
[00:27:42] okay we can build an out house
[00:27:43] you can build one in the woods
[00:27:46] the point is I'm not surviving without you either
[00:27:50] no one, a lot of people will survive
[00:27:52] that's my point
[00:27:52] we gotta get backpacks for our cats
[00:27:54] and we gotta build a house in the woods
[00:27:56] there's so much better odds of winning the lottery
[00:27:58] than you do
[00:28:01] I got a lot of books
[00:28:03] you know I can hit people with them
[00:28:06] yeah
[00:28:08] if you sucked into a game
[00:28:10] like Sword Art Online
[00:28:11] what role do you think you'd be
[00:28:13] some people kept trying to defeat everything
[00:28:18] beat the game
[00:28:19] but then some people became blacksmiths
[00:28:21] what would you do
[00:28:24] I don't know it depends on the type of game
[00:28:27] if it was like Sword Art
[00:28:29] depends on how good I was at the game
[00:28:31] I guess
[00:28:31] if you're good at the combat portion
[00:28:33] then stick with combat
[00:28:35] if you played the game and you're like oh hell yeah
[00:28:38] I love blacksmithing and then you get trapped there
[00:28:40] I'm not gonna be like you know what to the front lines
[00:28:42] I'd be like no I'm gonna stay here
[00:28:43] and give you swords so you can front lines
[00:28:46] I'm not the one you want
[00:28:49] like I said it depends on what I would
[00:28:51] was beforehand
[00:28:52] he was the main character
[00:28:55] he was already killing things
[00:28:57] and knew a bunch about this board
[00:28:58] and was really good at the game
[00:29:00] and good at killing things
[00:29:01] and then they got trapped there and he's like oh shit I need to level up real fast
[00:29:04] that's what he went and did
[00:29:07] I think even
[00:29:09] knowing about gaming
[00:29:10] and being a gamer
[00:29:12] I would sell Parish
[00:29:13] I think I'd be like
[00:29:15] a bookkeeper
[00:29:17] or like a magical potion seller
[00:29:19] yeah
[00:29:20] maybe I would have a little restaurant
[00:29:22] or something with the adventurers
[00:29:24] cause it's something cozy
[00:29:26] I'd be like here adventurers
[00:29:28] how can I ale you
[00:29:29] if I wasn't that great at the combat
[00:29:33] of it I think I would do the
[00:29:34] probably blacksmithing for sure
[00:29:37] like here you go here's a good sword
[00:29:38] thanks for the materials
[00:29:41] I'd be like I can build
[00:29:43] our house
[00:29:44] I'll go gather some resources
[00:29:46] and do some fishing
[00:29:48] try not to get eaten by the lake monsters
[00:29:53] you guys can go fight
[00:29:54] you guys go fight I don't need it
[00:29:57] I don't like real life horror
[00:29:59] you know I like mysteries
[00:30:00] like 1872
[00:30:04] I was going further down the
[00:30:05] rabbit hole here
[00:30:07] so December 4th 1872
[00:30:10] there was a British American ship
[00:30:11] called the Mary Celeste
[00:30:12] that left New York and it was going to
[00:30:15] Italy and there was a captain
[00:30:17] seven crew members and then
[00:30:19] the captain's wife and their toddler
[00:30:21] two year old daughter
[00:30:23] so the ship was
[00:30:25] found just like floating in the middle of the ocean
[00:30:28] but
[00:30:29] the issue was that
[00:30:31] everybody was gone and so was one lifeboat
[00:30:33] but the cargo was
[00:30:35] completely intact the ship was perfectly
[00:30:37] like sea fine
[00:30:39] they said everything was normal
[00:30:40] nothing was taken
[00:30:42] just everybody on board was gone and the lifeboat
[00:30:44] was gone so like
[00:30:46] they don't know what happened
[00:30:48] if it was pirates or if it was
[00:30:51] drugs
[00:30:52] something like that
[00:30:53] maybe the captain experienced something
[00:30:57] and told them all to go on a lifeboat
[00:30:58] but then they just disappeared
[00:31:01] lifeboats not found, bodies aren't found
[00:31:03] nobody has any clue
[00:31:04] what happened to these people
[00:31:06] where were they going? to Italy?
[00:31:08] yeah from New York
[00:31:09] well that's a terrible journey
[00:31:12] to make that
[00:31:14] wooden ship yes
[00:31:16] but like the ship
[00:31:17] itself was completely fine I'm like
[00:31:19] I don't know
[00:31:21] it was a long time ago maybe
[00:31:23] they got scared by something on the seas
[00:31:25] and we're like we gotta go
[00:31:27] you know who knows
[00:31:29] the ship, the water does
[00:31:31] weird things to people
[00:31:33] yes the water
[00:31:35] I don't know if I can handle
[00:31:37] being on a boat that long
[00:31:38] you know we haven't mapped out most of the ocean
[00:31:41] yeah
[00:31:43] we just don't
[00:31:44] we've explored more of space than the ocean
[00:31:46] like what the fuck? what does that mean?
[00:31:49] it's hard to see
[00:31:50] and then they
[00:31:51] it's hard to see
[00:31:53] and then like they just found that
[00:31:55] mega ocean underneath the ocean
[00:31:58] yeah they just discovered
[00:31:59] scientists discovered like 1200 new species
[00:32:02] that have never before been seen
[00:32:03] underneath the ocean floor
[00:32:05] if I were those species I would
[00:32:07] stay hidden
[00:32:09] like do not come near the humans
[00:32:11] oh yeah be like the colossal squid
[00:32:13] just don't be around
[00:32:15] scary
[00:32:18] yes did you also
[00:32:19] see that scientists
[00:32:22] found a new way
[00:32:23] that the earth is creating oxygen
[00:32:25] is it good?
[00:32:27] yes oxygen is good
[00:32:29] turns out we use it
[00:32:31] how is it happening?
[00:32:32] right before this the only way
[00:32:35] that we knew how oxygen was created
[00:32:37] was through light
[00:32:39] photosynthesis, plant make oxygen
[00:32:40] and then they take out the carbon dioxide
[00:32:42] we went to science class
[00:32:44] new science time they found
[00:32:46] that there are
[00:32:49] deep in the ocean
[00:32:50] where there's no light that reaches it
[00:32:52] they found oxygen
[00:32:54] and they went where the heck is this coming from?
[00:32:57] and turns out it's a combination
[00:32:59] of chemicals
[00:33:00] and being processed through events
[00:33:02] in the ocean floor that is creating
[00:33:04] what they're calling dark oxygen
[00:33:06] oh it's a different
[00:33:08] type of oxygen because it's not
[00:33:10] why does it always have to call everything
[00:33:12] the opposite of something that we know
[00:33:13] because light is a major
[00:33:16] role in everything that we do
[00:33:18] and know about
[00:33:20] so like the observable
[00:33:22] everything is due to light
[00:33:24] so when they find something that's created
[00:33:26] in the absence of light
[00:33:27] I mean the word is dark
[00:33:30] it's called dark oxygen
[00:33:31] it's pretty interesting
[00:33:34] but they're theorizing
[00:33:36] that because they now know that oxygen
[00:33:38] can be made without light
[00:33:39] that some faraway planets that they know
[00:33:42] have frozen oceans
[00:33:44] could have life that we just can't see
[00:33:46] because it's beneath the surface
[00:33:47] where oxygen could thrive
[00:33:49] right it's exciting
[00:33:52] okay
[00:33:52] what are they gonna do with it?
[00:33:54] do with what? that knowledge
[00:33:56] science
[00:33:58] I don't know I'm not a scientist
[00:34:00] it's just cool
[00:34:02] it's just cool science
[00:34:04] I just like mystery
[00:34:06] yeah like science
[00:34:07] science is cool if we can do stuff with it
[00:34:10] what do you think they're gonna be like
[00:34:12] we've discovered it we're done
[00:34:13] no applications for this
[00:34:15] why was I born too early to go in it's safety?
[00:34:17] because you're afraid of space what do you mean?
[00:34:19] I wouldn't be if like
[00:34:20] I was guaranteed to get there you know
[00:34:22] do you know the percentage of people who've died in space
[00:34:24] it's fucking like minimal
[00:34:26] but none of them have ever traveled billions of light years away
[00:34:29] to go to a new planet
[00:34:30] neither will you that's not in your future
[00:34:33] you're afraid of like going to the space station
[00:34:35] because it'll blow up
[00:34:36] nobody's died on this base station
[00:34:38] no
[00:34:40] no
[00:34:42] the only time people have died in space was when they didn't even get there
[00:34:45] they blew up on the way
[00:34:47] did you see this?
[00:34:49] I can't remember the specific details
[00:34:50] but this guy said that he had proof that
[00:34:52] of like how time travel would work
[00:34:55] and then
[00:34:57] he was murdered
[00:34:58] oh like the water car guy
[00:35:00] and then they were like
[00:35:01] was he murdered so that he wouldn't tell us
[00:35:04] or
[00:35:05] yeah it's like the water car guy
[00:35:07] water car guy?
[00:35:08] yeah so in the 1900s there was
[00:35:10] an engineer, scientist guy
[00:35:13] I don't know his name
[00:35:14] who successfully created a car
[00:35:17] that ran on water
[00:35:19] like fully
[00:35:21] engine that ran on water
[00:35:23] could drive around wherever
[00:35:25] he presented it
[00:35:26] to one of the motor companies
[00:35:29] I guess
[00:35:29] they rejected his idea
[00:35:33] he was later found murdered in his home
[00:35:35] and his car was never recovered
[00:35:37] they have no anywhere went
[00:35:39] and they went hmm
[00:35:40] all of a sudden
[00:35:41] he's just gone and so is his car
[00:35:44] and all of his research notes were burned
[00:35:47] you know like interesting
[00:35:48] if that
[00:35:50] wouldn't that mean like would nobody have
[00:35:53] tried to experiment
[00:35:55] with that same thing since then
[00:35:56] even in the absence of his invention
[00:35:58] people are trying now but just because they're trying
[00:36:01] doesn't mean they'll be successful like he was
[00:36:03] I think if people could figure out
[00:36:05] how to use salt water to make
[00:36:07] engines go
[00:36:07] it would fix a lot of problems
[00:36:09] the problem with that is the salt
[00:36:12] salt corrodes most metals
[00:36:15] what if we could do something that's not
[00:36:17] a metal with the salt water
[00:36:18] that would be fine too I guess
[00:36:20] but then what would you make
[00:36:22] should be plastic because that's kind of just as
[00:36:24] pollutant as metal
[00:36:25] I mean maybe
[00:36:27] maybe we could repurpose the plastic
[00:36:29] and landfills
[00:36:30] like repurpose plastic and landfills
[00:36:34] to make new things like they do
[00:36:36] with roads and shit
[00:36:37] good I'm not a scientist I don't know
[00:36:40] somebody do experiments
[00:36:41] it's not for me
[00:36:43] yeah
[00:36:45] some more mysteries I've got some
[00:36:47] okay so
[00:36:48] have you heard of the Voynich manuscript
[00:36:53] no
[00:36:53] okay so it's a 250 page
[00:36:56] book written in a completely
[00:36:58] unknown and unidentified
[00:37:00] language and writing system
[00:37:03] it was
[00:37:04] named after this guy a Polish
[00:37:06] book dealer who bought it in 1912
[00:37:09] and he said that
[00:37:10] the original owner claimed that it was
[00:37:12] written by an alchemist or an early scientist
[00:37:14] and some people tried to claim
[00:37:16] that the Voynich guy like made it up
[00:37:18] or created it or something
[00:37:19] but the book was carbon dated back
[00:37:22] to the 1400s and is believed
[00:37:24] to be intended as a medical text
[00:37:26] but nobody knows what it is
[00:37:28] and I'm like
[00:37:28] so some guy wrote a bunch of random symbols down
[00:37:31] and said don't worry you just can't understand it yet
[00:37:34] and then handed it off to somebody else
[00:37:36] but it was carbon dated
[00:37:37] is the only thing
[00:37:38] it was proof that they have been made in the 1400s
[00:37:41] someone wrote a bunch of symbols in the 1400s
[00:37:44] because they couldn't write their actual
[00:37:46] written language and then said this is for medicine
[00:37:48] and gave it to somebody else
[00:37:49] it could be
[00:37:51] that's like one of my favorite things
[00:37:52] like when they uncover stuff like
[00:37:54] what's that place with the volcano
[00:37:57] Iceland
[00:37:58] no like the ancient place
[00:38:00] that got destroyed by the volcano
[00:38:02] oh Mount St. Helens
[00:38:04] no that's not ancient
[00:38:06] it's like the 80s
[00:38:10] Peru
[00:38:10] no is it Greece
[00:38:13] it's Greece
[00:38:18] there's a song named after it
[00:38:21] you have to pay to get there
[00:38:23] maybe if you're a cheerleader and you had some pom poms
[00:38:27] what?
[00:38:28] nothing?
[00:38:30] no okay we'll just wait
[00:38:32] we'll wait for you to google it
[00:38:34] I can't find it
[00:38:38] Pompeii
[00:38:38] there you go
[00:38:43] killing me smalls
[00:38:44] I don't want to
[00:38:48] come on now
[00:38:50] but like
[00:38:52] you know they'd be like oh we've uncovered
[00:38:54] this really rare piece of text
[00:38:56] or like this rare photo
[00:38:57] from Pompeii and then it's just
[00:39:00] something that says like dicks
[00:39:01] or it's like a wooden dildo
[00:39:04] and they're like
[00:39:05] ah history
[00:39:07] did you
[00:39:10] so you know how like
[00:39:11] photographers are always like dying
[00:39:14] are they?
[00:39:16] is that a thing?
[00:39:17] they get pictures and die
[00:39:20] okay so
[00:39:21] go on
[00:39:22] speaking of volcanoes
[00:39:23] oh
[00:39:26] what are you upset right now?
[00:39:30] tell your story
[00:39:31] okay so when Mount St. Helens went off
[00:39:33] the predictions were
[00:39:35] a certain radius you would be safe
[00:39:37] and volcanoes are one of the
[00:39:39] for now and odds that don't happen
[00:39:41] super often so photographers
[00:39:44] take a lot of pictures of it
[00:39:46] they'll have to do it right
[00:39:46] so one photographer
[00:39:48] I forget his name
[00:39:49] I'm bad with names I go with events bad with names
[00:39:51] I forget his name but
[00:39:54] he was standing
[00:39:56] at the Mount St. Helens eruption
[00:39:58] and started taking pictures you know as it erupted
[00:40:01] well
[00:40:02] when he realized that he wasn't going to be safe
[00:40:04] from the ash because the ash
[00:40:06] is like 800 degrees
[00:40:08] right
[00:40:09] he continued taking
[00:40:14] yeah
[00:40:14] he continued taking pictures
[00:40:17] one of the last pictures
[00:40:18] the ash is like
[00:40:20] directly above him
[00:40:21] the picture that he's taken
[00:40:23] and then they found it because
[00:40:26] he had ran back to his car
[00:40:28] a few feet away
[00:40:29] taking the film out of the camera
[00:40:31] put it in a little
[00:40:34] steel container
[00:40:35] put it deep in his backpack
[00:40:37] and then laid on top of the backpack in his car
[00:40:39] so later they found
[00:40:41] the pictures inside the backpack
[00:40:43] and all the other photographers
[00:40:45] that passed away none of the pictures
[00:40:47] were usable but his pictures
[00:40:49] were recovered
[00:40:51] so you can see his pictures
[00:40:53] oh my god
[00:40:55] are you trying to make him cry again
[00:40:58] why
[00:40:59] Mount St. Helens eruption
[00:41:02] let's see
[00:41:07] photographer that died
[00:41:09] yep
[00:41:11] here it is
[00:41:11] the final two images from his camera
[00:41:14] were just the ash falling down on top of him
[00:41:17] what was his name
[00:41:19] let's see
[00:41:22] 57 people
[00:41:23] died in the eruption
[00:41:25] where is he at
[00:41:27] here it is
[00:41:29] Robert Emerson Landsberg
[00:41:34] camera
[00:41:35] yeah so he took the pictures
[00:41:36] there was his car just covered in ash
[00:41:39] and dirt
[00:41:40] these are the pictures
[00:41:42] of the eruption and then the ash just getting closer
[00:41:44] until it's falling down on top of him
[00:41:46] when he ran to his car
[00:41:49] I just think it's so admirable
[00:41:51] people die for science
[00:41:53] like I think the bravery
[00:41:55] is that too like you know you're gonna die
[00:41:57] and you're like I've gotta save these pictures
[00:41:59] well yeah
[00:42:00] if your life was photography
[00:42:02] dedicated and you know I'm not getting out of this
[00:42:05] there's no chance of running away
[00:42:09] volcanoes they seem dangerous they are dangerous
[00:42:11] different category
[00:42:12] I know like every few months
[00:42:15] somebody on some old person on facebook
[00:42:17] posted an article about how
[00:42:18] there's gonna be a super volcanic eruption across the united states
[00:42:22] and that if you don't repulse this thing
[00:42:24] then you will die
[00:42:25] have you seen an earthquake bed
[00:42:27] it is
[00:42:28] the one where they drop you
[00:42:29] yeah you like drop into it so it's this bed
[00:42:33] that detects like earthquakes
[00:42:35] and then the middle underneath you
[00:42:37] drops down
[00:42:38] so you fall into like a little taco of your
[00:42:42] your mattress
[00:42:43] and then it closes over the top of you
[00:42:45] and it stays closed for like
[00:42:48] 12 hours or something
[00:42:49] like that so you have food and water in there
[00:42:51] if you stocked it which you probably should
[00:42:54] but also looking at it
[00:42:55] the design is crazy to me
[00:42:57] because if you're sleeping like on the edge of the bed
[00:43:00] you are most certainly getting like hitting the head
[00:43:02] with the fucking mattress
[00:43:04] or the thing coming over top of you
[00:43:06] just gonna go pfff
[00:43:07] I think it would be much better if you hit in the head with the mattress
[00:43:10] than it would be to be hit in the head with the building
[00:43:12] and but like also
[00:43:14] how was
[00:43:15] what is the bed's determination of earthquake
[00:43:18] right like if you just like bring home
[00:43:20] some tender date
[00:43:22] and you guys are just going at it
[00:43:24] and all of a sudden you know you're behind her
[00:43:26] she's having fun you're having a good time
[00:43:28] and then the bed opens up and she drops
[00:43:30] and then it goes pfff and you're like
[00:43:32] well alright I didn't realize we were going that hard
[00:43:34] you know like what is the
[00:43:36] what is the magnitude it thinks
[00:43:39] I feel like
[00:43:40] that would be dangerous
