WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:01.080
<v Speaker 1>That I don't know.

2
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's time for strange science. God needs a break,

3
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 2>rang sience.

4
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like weird science but strange.

5
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's start with the just make it popey the science,

6
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 2>but make it religious, right the papal pyrotechnics that we

7
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:24.320
<v Speaker 2>have seen.

8
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.359
<v Speaker 3>Of course, conclave lasted just a little more than twenty

9
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 3>four hours as the cardinals elected a successor to take

10
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 3>over for Pope Francis. We know, of course, that it

11
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 3>is going to be Pope Leo, the fourteenth cardinal, born

12
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 3>and raised in Chicago, of all places, spent a lot

13
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 3>of time in Peru, but he was announced this morning

14
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 3>right as the show started.

15
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Bro, that's white smoke.

16
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 2>I can believe I said that.

17
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 3>Actually, I think, to be clear, I think it was

18
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 3>that's white smoke. Bro, we'll have to go back in take.

19
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 3>You said it was black smoke or you couldn't tell.

20
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't tell because.

21
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 2>I and I clearly saw it white. And that's when

22
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 2>I had to emphatically say, that's white smoke. Bro.

23
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 3>The sun was behind the chimney, so I didn't have

24
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 3>a good It's okay, bad lighting.

25
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 1>That's bad lighting.

26
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Sorry. When you're closer to God like this one right here,

27
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>you'll see the right.

28
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Colors has already removed the scales from your eyes. Is

29
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>that what you're saying?

30
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>So?

31
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, Pope Leo the fourteenth announced when the white smoke

32
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 3>came out of the chimney at the Sistine Chapel today,

33
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 3>but that was after at least three rounds of black smoke.

34
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Black smoke it is the easiest to make. According to scientists.

35
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>It is a mix of potassium percolate, an anthracine, and sulfur.

36
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 2>In this reaction, the potassium percolate is the oxygen oxygen

37
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>rich oxidizer. That's a fun thing to say, a role

38
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>it frequently serves in fireworks. Actually, it's very safe. It

39
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 2>gives easily up to oxygen, and so it's a it's

40
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>a quick thing. Now, the white smoke more challenging. There's

41
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>a reason why they wait till the end.

42
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 3>Well, and think about what we've talked before about fires,

43
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 3>wildfires and you see black smoke, that usually is an

44
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 3>indication that it's active fire.

45
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 1>I thought the symbolism was interesting because if.

46
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 3>You get early on a fire, the smoke tends to

47
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 3>be black, as it's more active when it gets sprayed

48
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 3>down when it's less active.

49
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 1>That's when the smoke turns gray and often white.

50
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Black involves fuel, right exactly. So there you go. So

51
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 2>now you know the chemistry, you can wow all your

52
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 2>friends at cocktail hour. Hey, did you guys know how

53
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 2>they make that black smoke?

54
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 3>The zinc chloride, the immuni ammonium chloride, of the reasons

55
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 3>why you see the the white smoke. They now have

56
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 3>a recipe that calls for potassium chlorate, lactose, just common sugar,

57
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 3>and a type a type of pine rosin sometimes known

58
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 3>as as Greek pitch, and then they throw that in

59
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 3>there and that's why the white comes out. This is

60
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 3>a fun story though, this one about there used to

61
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 3>be a show on TV. I think it was a

62
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 3>History channel that used to do this program called I

63
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>believe it's called After People or After Human Yeah, and

64
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 3>it was let's assume that something happened and humanity was

65
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 3>wiped out, not animals, not all animal life, but just humans.

66
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 1>And it was a.

67
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Show that would basically describe what would happen a month

68
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 3>after life on Earth without humans a year and ten

69
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 3>years and describe what how plants and animals would overtake

70
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, major cities and things like that.

71
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Where are we on that Soviet spacecraft that's hurtling towards

72
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Earth and we don't know where it's going to land

73
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>and it weighs eleven pounds three two inches.

74
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.479
<v Speaker 1>I believe its Saturday is still the day there.

75
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Saturday is the day.

76
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 3>Look up Cosmos two eighty four, I think is the

77
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 3>name of the spacecraft.

78
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 1>They may have narrowed it down a little bit.

79
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 3>As we get closer to it, they'll have a better uh,

80
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:11.080
<v Speaker 3>because I haven't.

81
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 2>They've been very quiet about it today, haven't they.

82
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what today? They have been quiet about it.

83
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they know something that they're not telling us.

84
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Maybe this we wouldn't get a new pope and then boom,

85
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 2>it's all over? Would we maybe may.

86
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Be listen, it's not our design.

87
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>It is not.

88
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 3>One of the other big stories today came out of Washington,

89
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 3>d C. President Trump announced a trade agreement, a huge

90
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 3>trade deal with the United Kingdom. He wrote today on

91
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 3>Truth Social the agreement with the UK is a full

92
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 3>and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the

93
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 3>United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come.

94
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 3>They held a held a news conference there in the

95
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 3>Oval Office to make the announcement. He was flanked by

96
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 3>some British representatives but also the economic team that he's

97
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 3>been working with.

98
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Somebody has put the pope speech as dubbed over the

99
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Pope's speech like bad lip reading. Still can't believe the

100
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Pope said this during his first speech. God bless you all,

101
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 2>except those for who live in Green Bay, Wisconsin. You

102
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 2>may have more Super Bowls, but f the packers so good.

103
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I caught him so easily amused by NFL memes awful.

104
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 3>Organizers of the Golden Globes have came out with a

105
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 3>huge announcement. They're going to introduce a best Podcast category

106
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 3>starting next year for the eighty third Golden Globe Awards

107
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 3>Best Podcast.

108
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>There's already podcast awards. To Keana's point that she made

109
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>on The Conway Show yesterday when they spoke about this.

110
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 3>Top twenty five podcasts is what they're going to choose

111
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 3>from and then make six nominations out of those twenty

112
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 3>five cool.

113
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Uh. What you'd eat after the apocalypse if a global

114
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 2>catastrophe disrupted international trade and fuel supplies, what would our

115
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>survive hinge on? Get ready for this list? Are you

116
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 2>sitting down and are you on a toilet? The diet

117
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 2>would be of peas.

118
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 3>Let me point out that they will not be using

119
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 3>toilets after the apocalypse.

120
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Holes in the ground if you're lucky, water, if you've

121
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 2>dug it. If you've dug it, Yeah, peas, sugar beets, spinach,

122
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and potatoes. Wow, my husband picks peas out of chow man.

123
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 2>That's how much he likes peas.

124
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Well. He may be one of the first to go.

125
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 3>Then he will be. He will be one of the

126
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 3>first to go. They said of the crops that they studied.

127
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Peas would require the least land area to provide the

128
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.680
<v Speaker 3>protein and food energy needs of one person.

129
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Peas would I love peas?

130
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I could eat peas all the time. I'm a big

131
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 2>peas fan.

132
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 3>They're also talking about different kinds of apocalypse. Sees would

133
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 3>produce different results to this question, because, for example, a

134
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 3>pee would survive a catastrophe where the climate is similar

135
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 3>to today's.

136
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 2>But not nuclear winter.

137
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Not nuclear winter, no, that scenario.

138
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Nuclear winter would be soot that's caused from these large

139
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.560
<v Speaker 3>scale nuclear explosions to block sunlight and cool the planet.

140
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Would shorten the growing season, lower the average temperature. And

141
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 3>in that case, they said, sugar beets and spinach would

142
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.759
<v Speaker 3>take the lead, both of those hardy spinach.

143
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.199
<v Speaker 2>I gotta pay my spinach, you know what I mean.

144
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't just eat raw spinach like a Popeye. I

145
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>gotta have some garlic, some olive oil, all the stuff

146
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:38.720
<v Speaker 2>that the apocalypse has gotten rid of.

147
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.319
<v Speaker 3>And even Popeye's spinach most of the time was canned.

148
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Might it be so pissed if the apocalypse comes and

149
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't get wiped out?

150
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 1>If you're stuck, Oh my gosh.

151
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine just sitting there alone like the guy

152
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.560
<v Speaker 2>in Twilight Zone with no glasses, all those books and peas,

153
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>But you wouldn't have the books.

154
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:00.759
<v Speaker 3>Just outside the city, they say, they're talking about that

155
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 3>being the peas and the beat root. Sorry, the peas,

156
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:10.279
<v Speaker 3>the beats and the spinach would be inner city stuff

157
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.480
<v Speaker 3>where you've got like garden building, top gardens and rooftop

158
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 3>gardens and stuff like that. But they said, outside the city,

159
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.800
<v Speaker 3>you could still use some of the industrial farming methods

160
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 3>that we have developed over the years if there's enough land,

161
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.199
<v Speaker 3>et cetera, and you could probably get by with a

162
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:27.959
<v Speaker 3>bunch of potatoes.

163
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 2>That's the last time you saw a rooftop garden in

164
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>the city, Any city, Name a city, city, name a city,

165
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.559
<v Speaker 2>any city. I saw him in Nashville, or did you? Yeah,

166
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:38.559
<v Speaker 2>in people's homes.

167
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 3>Tops of apartment buildings and things like that. Wow, potatoes

168
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.440
<v Speaker 3>can feed people using minimal land. They said they can

169
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.200
<v Speaker 3>be sensitive to frost, but obviously that would be bad

170
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 3>if there was a nuclear winter.

171
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:51.879
<v Speaker 1>But did you ever see that?

172
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Did you ever see that documentary about Matt Damon When

173
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.159
<v Speaker 3>he went to Mars, he was able to live on

174
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 3>potatoes for a long time before they rescue him and

175
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.720
<v Speaker 3>brought him back so that he could make another born movie,

176
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 3>The Martian I think that's what they called it.

177
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because he was there for a while. He was

178
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.559
<v Speaker 1>there for a year or two.

179
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 3>But he grew potatoes and lived on potatoes for quite

180
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 3>a while until they caused him gastrointestay, did he talk.

181
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 2>To the potatoes like Tom Hanks did in that documentary

182
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.080
<v Speaker 2>about him and the volleyball?

183
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.759
<v Speaker 3>I believe so, Yeah, because Tom Hanks almost died in

184
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 3>that plane crash.

185
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Tom Hanks almost died in several times. He almost got AIDS.

186
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Remember when he almost got aids? Did he get the aids.

187
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 2>You think so, well, I don't know. He saw the

188
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 2>movie right, but he didn't die from the aids. He

189
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 2>was also a cowboy at one point. Remember when Jenny

190
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:47.080
<v Speaker 2>left him and came back with AIDS and a child?

191
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I do? Do you remember that? Thanks for the spoiler alert.

192
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 3>They also say researchers said that their methodology about food

193
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.679
<v Speaker 3>after the apocalypse could help cities worldwide assess their food

194
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:02.240
<v Speaker 3>security and try to develop land and land use policies

195
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.559
<v Speaker 3>that will boost resilience in the event.

196
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>At the end, Meg Ryan never tried to kill Tom Hanks.

197
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>M Oh, that was Billy Crystal. She tried to what

198
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.519
<v Speaker 1>I saw that movie with the orgasm? Is that what

199
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>she was doing?

200
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.720
