in the pub went on a skeptical Sasquatch

210
00:09:18,830 --> 00:09:17,430
camping trip a few weeks ago in British

211
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:18,840
Columbia there's a provincial park

212
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:21,690

213
00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:23,850
group of us drove up there a couple

214
00:09:30,260 --> 00:09:26,640
hours outside Vancouver and camped

215
00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:30,270
overnight by a small lake and we had our

216
00:09:35,930 --> 00:09:33,600

tan without shipping thank you how thank

took their seats in the grand ballroom

375
00:17:54,049 --> 00:17:51,000

Randy's purposes teal a mysterious

385
00:18:31,730 --> 00:18:29,009
lyrics for the world journal in position

386

new position to determine the edge of

388
00:18:39,499 --> 00:18:37,679
darkness versus an epithet miss you in

389
00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:39,509
the proper direction does it ever be

390
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:42,720
he's imagining the conference it's

391
00:18:47,389 --> 00:18:44,700
whining on who's raining probably tool

392
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:47,399
and a television he live he also told me

393
00:18:54,779 --> 00:18:53,610
I had a great teacher of Santa and like

394
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:54,789
many designs

395
00:19:00,100 --> 00:18:57,650
the books these world-famous for his

396
00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:00,110
presentation skills and for his life's

397
00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:02,720
work as a bright light chain of the dark

398
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:04,940
corners of our world but not something

399
00:19:09,220 --> 00:19:06,890
common rule he is simply the most

400
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:09,230
important skeptic in the world today and

401
00:19:32,810 --> 00:19:10,760
these are mobile so please welcome the

402
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:36,740
oh all these people at this place goes

403
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:40,289
way back in business I guess how can we

404
00:19:45,259 --> 00:19:42,090
tall like our self working on the podium

405
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:45,269
there I was just told by one of our

406
00:19:48,830 --> 00:19:46,769
speakers that anything said an

407
00:19:52,730 --> 00:19:48,840
introduction is true so I can't deny how

408
00:19:56,990 --> 00:19:52,740
I said except none of the jokes about

409
00:19:58,759 --> 00:19:57,000
the animal I suppose this is this is

410
00:20:00,430 --> 00:19:58,769
actually our eighth 10 I hate to

411
00:20:03,019 --> 00:20:00,440
contradict out but we did have a

412
00:20:06,259 --> 00:20:03,029
actually and that's alive so I guess not

413
00:20:08,509 --> 00:20:06,269
donate this mystery we did have

414
00:20:11,090 --> 00:20:08,519
intermediate santan 5.5 a few years ago

415
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:11,100
and how many people have been to every

416
00:20:16,879 --> 00:20:14,970
single meeting here I say anything away

417
00:20:19,129 --> 00:20:16,889
that has forces elite are there and I'm

418
00:20:22,009 --> 00:20:19,139
like shiny massage this one you know a

419
00:20:24,769 --> 00:20:22,019
few of you that's that's very cool then

420
00:20:28,129 --> 00:20:24,779
these have been astonishing series of

421
00:20:29,899 --> 00:20:28,139
meetings where it started off to be

422
00:20:34,430 --> 00:20:29,909
decently a couple hundred people and now

423
00:20:36,049 --> 00:20:34,440
we have a few more I just I'd love to

424
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:36,059
talk so much about all this because it's

425
00:20:41,419 --> 00:20:38,490
been so much but you didn't pay to

426
00:20:45,259 --> 00:20:41,429
listen to me talk did you you got

427
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:45,269
screwed I'm gonna let me come up here

428
00:20:49,669 --> 00:20:47,250
and really open conference for sure I

429
00:20:52,639 --> 00:20:49,679
want to say that we're here really for

430
00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:52,649
three reasons we're hearing great

431
00:20:55,909 --> 00:20:54,240
speakers of course we always have died

432
00:20:58,820 --> 00:20:55,919
many blind speakers and this year is no

433
00:21:00,200 --> 00:20:58,830
exception of very excited about every

434
00:21:02,450 --> 00:21:00,210
every single person is going to be up

435
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:02,460
here and some of the real friends some

436
00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:04,710
overdue friends but they all have very

437
00:21:09,379 --> 00:21:07,200
very interesting things to say about the

438
00:21:11,659 --> 00:21:09,389
reasons that we're here today another

439
00:21:14,450 --> 00:21:11,669
reason we're here of course is to see

440
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:14,460
Randy there's if there's one major

441
00:21:19,980 --> 00:21:15,370
reason

442
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:19,990
it's because of rain is we're here

443
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:22,090
because he helped start the modern

444
00:21:27,030 --> 00:21:24,760
skeptical woman is still a force of

445
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:27,040
nature in a modest kept government and

446
00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:30,730
it is his face man so that that's where

447
00:21:36,450 --> 00:21:34,000
I guess right here but if that's why

448
00:21:38,910 --> 00:21:36,460
you're riginal tams through so much

449
00:21:40,740 --> 00:21:38,920
there's another reason why there are so

450
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:40,750
many people here is because there are so

451
00:21:44,850 --> 00:21:43,090
many people here it's all as a

452
00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:44,860
self-fulfilling prophecy I've use that

453
00:21:50,250 --> 00:21:46,900
word there are a lot of people here

454
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:50,260
because of the community at some point a

455
00:21:55,919 --> 00:21:53,170
few years ago this community of skeptics

456
00:21:58,830 --> 00:21:55,929
reached a critical mass and this

457
00:22:00,360 --> 00:21:58,840
grassroots movement itself became the

458
00:22:02,549 --> 00:22:00,370
mainstream skeptical movement uh huh

459
00:22:05,070 --> 00:22:02,559
sure exactly how it happens when when

460
00:22:08,010 --> 00:22:05,080
something becomes a self-drive industry

461
00:22:10,230 --> 00:22:08,020
but we are here because of each other

462
00:22:11,970 --> 00:22:10,240
because of the community and there are

463
00:22:12,990 --> 00:22:11,980
there a lot of expendable person country

464
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:13,000
and they all be different things and

465
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:17,110
they'll do very well but somehow the jf

466
00:22:24,030 --> 00:22:20,290
began the touchstone for the people who

467
00:22:25,860 --> 00:22:24,040
sells and as that's how so sir well good

468
00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:25,870
with with reading song with with robert

469
00:22:32,190 --> 00:22:28,990
lancaster people just say hey I can do

470
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:32,200
this I mean sa decision ears Garza I

471
00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:34,690
think I can sit down and then debug ye

472
00:22:40,290 --> 00:22:36,670
egg stand on and on the first spring

473
00:22:42,090 --> 00:22:40,300
come on right and so it's in all of it

474
00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:42,100
if I think that I'm not only this kind

475
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:44,320
of line if I can do that everybody can

476
00:22:48,210 --> 00:22:46,809
do it in one person at a time we now

477
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:48,220
have so many people in this movement

478
00:22:54,870 --> 00:22:50,410
doing so many good things cover so much

479
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:54,880
ground and speaking of that us that's

480
00:23:00,720 --> 00:22:58,090
why we are here it is how said we may

481
00:23:03,030 --> 00:23:00,730
disagree on religion we may disagree on

482
00:23:04,770 --> 00:23:03,040
politics I'll guarantee you that we may

483
00:23:07,710 --> 00:23:04,780
even disagree on our exist

484
00:23:10,770 --> 00:23:07,720
existence of UFOs but we all agree on

485
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:10,780
how to disagree we all agree on how to

486
00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:13,330
decide whether agree disagree and we're

487
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:15,430
all going to agree on how do we reach

488
00:23:19,740 --> 00:23:17,650
those conclusions that's the rationale

489
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:19,750
front thought that's your skepticism

490
00:23:24,660 --> 00:23:22,510
critical thinking and hopefully the lack

491
00:23:26,790 --> 00:23:24,670
of logical fallacies that we see out

492
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:26,800
there so much and it's those logical

493
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:28,750
fallacies that we are here to try to

494
00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:30,250
minimize it something you know either

495
00:23:34,470 --> 00:23:32,470
leaves rate and rhythm as long as we

496
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:34,480
have squishy grave all brains my head

497
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:36,010
we're never going to totally get ready

498
00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:38,770
sent but there are ways to minimize one

499
00:23:42,390 --> 00:23:40,480
of them for example is through the

500
00:23:44,130 --> 00:23:42,400
million dollar challenge and that is

501
00:23:45,390 --> 00:23:44,140
something that many of you attend the

502
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:45,400
workshop yesterday with Jeff Kennett

503
00:23:49,770 --> 00:23:47,410
analysis Smith is a great workshop on

504
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:49,780
how to make up childhood we're going to

505
00:23:54,060 --> 00:23:51,610
have Lyme million dollar challenge here

506
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:54,070
on Sunday executive and that's so

507
00:23:57,290 --> 00:23:55,510
there's some information in your packet

508
00:23:59,670 --> 00:23:57,300
about that I would urge you to read it

509
00:24:01,380 --> 00:23:59,680
because we have some rules about that

510
00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:01,390
because you do not know this is

511
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:02,590
something that's been set up for many

512
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:04,930
years that if you can prove some sort of

513
00:24:08,850 --> 00:24:06,850
psychic claims is our paranormal plan

514
00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:08,860
that we would get two million dollars

515
00:24:15,390 --> 00:24:13,600
now that easy I kind of have to prove it

516
00:24:18,210 --> 00:24:15,400
a true and statistically or at least

517
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:18,220
show us that by random chance would be

518
00:24:25,260 --> 00:24:20,050
highly highly unlikely to what you've

519
00:24:26,940 --> 00:24:25,270
done is is not at least non-psychic

520
00:24:30,810 --> 00:24:26,950
drive them negatives in their job well

521
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:30,820
done about a year ago you're gonna have

522
00:24:34,590 --> 00:24:33,130
to go we decided that really don't

523
00:24:36,690 --> 00:24:34,600
challenge was starting to become a bit

524
00:24:38,550 --> 00:24:36,700
of an albatross we have so many people

525
00:24:41,030 --> 00:24:38,560
trying to take take take on the

526
00:24:44,790 --> 00:24:41,040
challenge so many of these claims are

527
00:24:47,130 --> 00:24:44,800
difficult to understand it's actually

528
00:24:49,410 --> 00:24:47,140
hard to say for somebody is as cheap

529
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:49,420
pointed out yesterday workshop if

530
00:24:54,570 --> 00:24:52,690
somebody says I can predict a card off

531
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:54,580
the top of the deck fifty percent of the

532
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:57,490
time you they never seen that they sort

533
00:25:00,180 --> 00:24:58,330
of trying to make

534
00:25:01,769 --> 00:25:00,190
they never get a number they never say

535
00:25:04,740 --> 00:25:01,779
exactly what they can do and so it's a

536
00:25:06,870 --> 00:25:04,750
huge drain on our staff time and our

537
00:25:10,470 --> 00:25:06,880
staff energy to have to process all of

538
00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:10,480
these applicants so we decided to

539
00:25:13,889 --> 00:25:11,919
withdraw the million-dollar challenge we

540
00:25:16,529 --> 00:25:13,899
figured its job is basically them done

541
00:25:18,450 --> 00:25:16,539
and we're going to discontinue it well

542
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:18,460
after talking with Randy and some other

543
00:25:23,070 --> 00:25:20,320
people I have been given permission to

544
00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:23,080
stay here today that that is no longer

545
00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:33,320
I'm really happy about this the

546
00:25:38,659 --> 00:25:36,000
million-dollar challenge is a hammer and

547
00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:38,669
it is and we know you know I'm saying is

548
00:25:44,659 --> 00:25:40,289
when you have a hammer everything's

549
00:25:46,789 --> 00:25:44,669
avail the million-dollar challenge is an

550
00:25:50,210 --> 00:25:46,799
excellent tool to show the press and the

551
00:25:52,129 --> 00:25:50,220
show the public that not necessarily the

552
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:52,139
psychic powers do not exist but then

553
00:25:55,789 --> 00:25:53,370
most people who are claiming to have

554
00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:55,799
psychic powers are incorrect and this

555
00:25:59,180 --> 00:25:57,600
will continue now I'm not going to say

556
00:26:01,700 --> 00:25:59,190
how is going to do because we're not

557
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:01,710
sure we're looking into investing we're

558
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:03,090
trying to figure out a way to do this to

559
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:04,769
bring it into the 21st century kicking

560
00:26:09,980 --> 00:26:07,409
and screaming so that it streamlines the

561
00:26:12,919 --> 00:26:09,990
process makes it more efficient and that

562
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:12,929
we can use it in a way to even broaden

563
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:14,850
what it's already been doing it and that

564
00:26:21,139 --> 00:26:17,730
is to show people the world for the way

565
00:26:24,649 --> 00:26:21,149
it is and that is real rational and and

566
00:26:26,090 --> 00:26:24,659
if I'm a scientific so I'm really really

567
00:26:28,249 --> 00:26:26,100
glad about that we talked a little bit

568
00:26:33,019 --> 00:26:28,259
about the more on that favorite thank

569
00:26:35,450 --> 00:26:33,029
you so enough enough about about me and

570
00:26:37,369 --> 00:26:35,460
from me you're here to see Randy and I

571
00:26:39,409 --> 00:26:37,379
want to let him close us out and let me

572
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:39,419
say that I love being able to do this

573
00:26:42,860 --> 00:26:41,610
sometimes a quote from a book I've read

574
00:26:45,169 --> 00:26:42,870
a couple of times I hope many of you

575
00:26:46,549 --> 00:26:45,179
have as well somebody about this meeting

576
00:26:48,649 --> 00:26:46,559
with our speakers talking all these

577
00:26:49,850 --> 00:26:48,659
diverse subjects some of which you may

578
00:26:51,529 --> 00:26:49,860
know about some ways you know you're

579
00:26:52,909 --> 00:26:51,539
guaranteed to learn about a lot of

580
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:52,919
different things here over the next

581
00:26:56,629 --> 00:26:54,809
couple of days all of them have

582
00:26:58,129 --> 00:26:56,639
something in common that is weight

583
00:27:01,310 --> 00:26:58,139
whether it's about optical illusions or

584
00:27:04,129 --> 00:27:01,320
science or geekery or skepticism or win

585
00:27:06,919 --> 00:27:04,139
we're all about the critical thinking

586
00:27:10,249 --> 00:27:06,929
we're all about seeing through the fog

587
00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:10,259
and seeing what's real and so let me say

588
00:27:14,779 --> 00:27:12,480
that you should let the scales fall from

589
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:14,789
your eyes because the truth shall set

590
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:17,370
you free and here is a man who has been

591
00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:19,440
doing that for a long long time and that

592
00:28:12,890 --> 00:28:09,110
regional apertures in Florida have

593
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:12,900
they're used for different purposes some

594
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:15,890
of our birth mothers as security stuff

595
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:18,570
that's what we want any photographic you

596
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:23,010
would get pretty serious dr. keeping it

597
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:27,210
hurts and things like that this is by a

598
00:28:34,580 --> 00:28:31,290
t-shirt on both you haven't seen this

599
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:34,590

grateful for your presence here but I

612
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:21,510
must explain my son subdued occurs this

613
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:27,090
is why I also say a t-bar curator 23 of

614
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:29,610
your routine that an examination or a

615
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:32,010
month ago who's discovery that I had and

616
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:35,010
that's the visitor inside of me very

617
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:36,690
stunning example of intelligent design

618
00:29:43,850 --> 00:29:41,490
report why not going in that may be

619
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:43,860
moved it I think it will be up again

620
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:46,170
I'll be pretty through our combo box yet

621
00:29:51,020 --> 00:29:48,450
but I assure you that I'm fighting this

622
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:51,030
thing with the very best technical help

623
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:53,280
I'm on an all shy on the brisket

624
00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:55,770
technology I'll be able to keep up with

625
00:30:00,650 --> 00:29:57,600
my regular duties as the treatment

626
00:30:03,170 --> 00:30:00,660
proceedings this is the reason that you

627
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:03,180
have not seen any recent videos from me

628
00:30:08,890 --> 00:30:05,730
of course I'm very fortunate that good

629
00:30:12,170 --> 00:30:08,900
friends like Phil Plait that bastrop

630
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:12,180

manage and her such

634
00:30:30,450 --> 00:30:22,600
the camps and I think the results speak

635
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:34,200
I will say the public responded by Otis

636
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:36,430

637
00:30:41,970 --> 00:30:39,010

00:50:24,690 --> 00:50:22,990
short hiatus for the last few weeks

1013
00:50:27,150 --> 00:50:24,700
whilst everyone else has been off having

1014
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:27,160
fun at tan this week I want to talk to

1015
00:50:30,810 --> 00:50:28,930
you about something i came across at a

1016
00:50:33,870 --> 00:50:30,820
psychic and alternative fair which i

1017
00:50:35,850 --> 00:50:33,880
went to a few weeks ago now this kind of

1018
00:50:37,530 --> 00:50:35,860
fair showcase all manner of woo and

1019
00:50:40,020 --> 00:50:37,540
alternative therapies and I've been to

1020
00:50:42,330 --> 00:50:40,030
quite a few of these now so once you've

1021
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:42,340
been to a couple you enter prepared to

1022
00:50:47,670 --> 00:50:44,650
experience the usual suspects such as

1023
00:50:50,730 --> 00:50:47,680
psychic readings people selling crystals

1024
00:50:52,860 --> 00:50:50,740
dream catchers and there's often some

1025
00:50:54,390 --> 00:50:52,870
brand new miracle antioxidant drink

1026
00:50:56,550 --> 00:50:54,400
that's only just been discovered by

1027
00:50:58,860 --> 00:50:56,560
white man and it's grown in a red tree

1028
00:51:01,020 --> 00:50:58,870
in the Amazonian jungle but on this

1029
00:51:02,790 --> 00:51:01,030
occasion I came across a therapy which I

1030
00:51:06,270 --> 00:51:02,800
had heard about but didn't know much

1031
00:51:08,850 --> 00:51:06,280
about urine therapy is the topic of this

1032
00:51:10,770 --> 00:51:08,860
week's doctor ecchi reports so in

1033
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:10,780
alternative medicine the term urine

1034
00:51:16,370 --> 00:51:12,730
therapy which is also known as a gyro

1035
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:16,380
therapy urine Oh therapy or uropathy

1036
00:51:21,540 --> 00:51:19,330
refers to various applications of human

1037
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:21,550
urine for medicinal or cosmetic purposes

1038
00:51:28,110 --> 00:51:24,610
and this includes drinking one's urine

1039
00:51:31,230 --> 00:51:28,120
or massaging one's urine into your skin

1040
00:51:33,900 --> 00:51:31,240
and a practitioner of urine therapy is

1041
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:33,910
sometimes known as a Europe F there are

1042
00:51:38,970 --> 00:51:36,970
two camps in urine therapy described by

1043
00:51:40,980 --> 00:51:38,980
one website promoting the benefits of

1044
00:51:44,010 --> 00:51:40,990
this therapy the groups are described as

1045
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:44,020
the following there are the ones who say

1046
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:45,290
urine is your own

1047
00:51:50,950 --> 00:51:47,570
victor medicine and the others who say

1048
00:51:53,350 --> 00:51:50,960
urine is toxic waste the second group

1049
00:51:56,410 --> 00:51:53,360
the ones that say urine is toxic waste

1050
00:51:58,600 --> 00:51:56,420
is the bigger group however according to

1051
00:52:01,630 --> 00:51:58,610
some websites the first group is the

1052
00:52:03,490 --> 00:52:01,640
better educated one who know that urine

1053
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:03,500
can be considered a wide spectrum

1054
00:52:08,860 --> 00:52:06,170
healing agent not matched by any other

1055
00:52:11,130 --> 00:52:08,870
medication well there you go now

1056
00:52:14,050 --> 00:52:11,140
apparently urine is also a medication

1057
00:52:16,900 --> 00:52:14,060
known amongst believers as a super juice

1058
00:52:18,820 --> 00:52:16,910
against all diseases urine is hailed as

1059
00:52:21,490 --> 00:52:18,830
a miraculous medicine which when

1060
00:52:23,890 --> 00:52:21,500
ingested or applied externally has

1061
00:52:26,230 --> 00:52:23,900
apparently been scientifically tested to

1062
00:52:29,350 --> 00:52:26,240
fight infections allergies and skin

1063
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:29,360
disorders and other claims for what is

1064
00:52:33,970 --> 00:52:31,930
also known as auto urine therapy

1065
00:52:36,750 --> 00:52:33,980
includes supporting the immune system

1066
00:52:38,860 --> 00:52:36,760
which of course really means nothing

1067
00:52:40,750 --> 00:52:38,870
according to the lady selling urine

1068
00:52:43,900 --> 00:52:40,760
therapy at the psychic festival as well

1069
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:43,910
as various websites Auto urine therapy

1070
00:52:47,590 --> 00:52:45,770
can also be used in the healing of

1071
00:52:50,260 --> 00:52:47,600
illnesses that are otherwise considered

1072
00:52:53,980 --> 00:52:50,270
incurable and this includes such things

1073
00:52:56,170 --> 00:52:53,990
as cancer and full-blown AIDS this

1074
00:52:59,560 --> 00:52:56,180
apparently occurs by a mechanism

1075
00:53:01,960 --> 00:52:59,570
described as the following quote I

1076
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:01,970
believe that when information from the

1077
00:53:05,710 --> 00:53:03,770
urine passes through the throat it is

1078
00:53:08,350 --> 00:53:05,720
analyzed by the sensors in the throat

1079
00:53:10,770 --> 00:53:08,360
and that the human immune system can

1080
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:10,780
then be activated to cure the disease

1081
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:13,970
that is to say signals are given by the

1082
00:53:19,260 --> 00:53:15,890
brain which may activate the necessary

1083
00:53:21,610 --> 00:53:19,270
functions for curing the ailment unquote

1084
00:53:23,110 --> 00:53:21,620
now the first worrying thing about this

1085
00:53:25,390 --> 00:53:23,120
statement is the claim that one has to

1086
00:53:27,190 --> 00:53:25,400
drink the disease components after they

1087
00:53:29,980 --> 00:53:27,200
have passed through the kidneys in order

1088
00:53:31,390 --> 00:53:29,990
to activate the immune system now surely

1089
00:53:33,790 --> 00:53:31,400
the immune system would have responded

1090
00:53:35,590 --> 00:53:33,800
when the virus or bacteria or parasite

1091
00:53:37,720 --> 00:53:35,600
first came in contact with the

1092
00:53:39,370 --> 00:53:37,730
bloodstream therefore I can see no

1093
00:53:42,430 --> 00:53:39,380
benefit in passing it through the system

1094
00:53:44,500 --> 00:53:42,440
again in the form of urine however

1095
00:53:47,350 --> 00:53:44,510
perhaps this is the key to a belief in

1096
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:47,360
the way urine therapy works is quite

1097
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:49,210
appeared on a website i came across

1098
00:53:54,610 --> 00:53:52,010
urine should be taken joyfully and with

1099
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:54,620
a pleasant mind and with faith at least

1100
00:53:58,779 --> 00:53:56,810
in the therapy which improves the

1101
00:54:01,089 --> 00:53:58,789
chances of healing dramatically

1102
00:54:03,579 --> 00:54:01,099
your mind is much more powerful than you

1103
00:54:06,549 --> 00:54:03,589
think so there we go as long as you

1104
00:54:09,130 --> 00:54:06,559
believe in it it must work the following

1105
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:09,140
us some stories spruiking the power of

1106
00:54:14,650 --> 00:54:11,650
urine therapy the first one involves

1107
00:54:17,620 --> 00:54:14,660
amputation which was avoided because of

1108
00:54:19,779 --> 00:54:17,630
the use of urine therapy the story goes

1109
00:54:21,900 --> 00:54:19,789
that a farmer's wife squashed the middle

1110
00:54:24,699 --> 00:54:21,910
joint of her index finger in a bone mill

1111
00:54:27,279 --> 00:54:24,709
the skin was lacerated and the joint was

1112
00:54:30,219 --> 00:54:27,289
open during the emergency surgery and

1113
00:54:32,079 --> 00:54:30,229
amputation was planned for later the

1114
00:54:35,019 --> 00:54:32,089
next day she had severe pain and

1115
00:54:36,459 --> 00:54:35,029
swelling of the whole hand the swelling

1116
00:54:39,539 --> 00:54:36,469
went down quickly and the pain was

1117
00:54:42,339 --> 00:54:39,549
reduced by using medicinal leeches the

1118
00:54:45,309 --> 00:54:42,349
ointment application whatever that was

1119
00:54:47,979 --> 00:54:45,319
is not specified was replaced with urine

1120
00:54:50,349 --> 00:54:47,989
and urine soaked dressings were changed

1121
00:54:52,089 --> 00:54:50,359
daily so the change of dressing was

1122
00:54:53,679 --> 00:54:52,099
nearly painless because the dressing

1123
00:54:56,289 --> 00:54:53,689
didn't become clotted or didn't adhere

1124
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:56,299
to the wound the joint capsule was

1125
00:54:59,999 --> 00:54:57,890
healing gradually and later the skin

1126
00:55:01,959 --> 00:55:00,009
wound also cleared and the

1127
00:55:05,169 --> 00:55:01,969
anti-inflammatory effect of the urine

1128
00:55:08,199 --> 00:55:05,179
was amazing and as a result the index

1129
00:55:10,419 --> 00:55:08,209
finger could be kept next is the story

1130
00:55:13,390 --> 00:55:10,429
of a 30 year old woman who had cancer

1131
00:55:15,579 --> 00:55:13,400
and battled it for many years after she

1132
00:55:17,620 --> 00:55:15,589
was introduced to urine therapy and used

1133
00:55:20,019 --> 00:55:17,630
the perfect medicine in addition to

1134
00:55:23,859 --> 00:55:20,029
other natural treatments her suffering

1135
00:55:25,329 --> 00:55:23,869
ended and she got rid of her cancer she

1136
00:55:27,699 --> 00:55:25,339
won the battle but another battle

1137
00:55:30,069 --> 00:55:27,709
started she did not know what to do with

1138
00:55:31,929 --> 00:55:30,079
her life which was given up already and

1139
00:55:34,209 --> 00:55:31,939
she had to start from scratch and find

1140
00:55:36,609 --> 00:55:34,219
an occupation or work to financially

1141
00:55:38,589 --> 00:55:36,619
support herself she had her life back

1142
00:55:41,349 --> 00:55:38,599
but she had to get used to it what a

1143
00:55:42,969 --> 00:55:41,359
strange feeling next is a testimonial

1144
00:55:45,849 --> 00:55:42,979
from a 50 year old woman who was

1145
00:55:48,189 --> 00:55:45,859
diagnosed with HIV and now says after

1146
00:55:50,709 --> 00:55:48,199
taking urine therapy that her full-blown

1147
00:55:53,679 --> 00:55:50,719
AIDS is healed she says she was

1148
00:55:56,079 --> 00:55:53,689
diagnosed with HIV 10 years ago quote

1149
00:55:58,989 --> 00:55:56,089
about six months after that I started

1150
00:56:01,839 --> 00:55:58,999
taking medication but after about two

1151
00:56:03,729 --> 00:56:01,849
years it stopped working I was a mess I

1152
00:56:06,399 --> 00:56:03,739
had full-blown AIDS and a lot of people

1153
00:56:07,899 --> 00:56:06,409
thought my time was up I have a good

1154
00:56:11,429 --> 00:56:07,909
friend who was going to school to become

1155
00:56:12,790 --> 00:56:11,439
a doctor he told me about urine therapy

1156
00:56:14,740 --> 00:56:12,800
since there

1157
00:56:17,710 --> 00:56:14,750
I have dreamed drinking a third of a cup

1158
00:56:20,590 --> 00:56:17,720
every day last week I was told that my

1159
00:56:22,690 --> 00:56:20,600
AIDS is undetectable I've been taking

1160
00:56:24,070 --> 00:56:22,700
medicine for almost 10 years and nothing

1161
00:56:27,310 --> 00:56:24,080
like this has ever been close to

1162
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:27,320
happening I know it sounds gross but if

1163
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:29,090
you want to live I recommend it strongly

1164
00:56:34,990 --> 00:56:32,510
it is a miracle drug no one listened to

1165
00:56:36,850 --> 00:56:35,000
me at first they thought I was crazy but

1166
00:56:38,830 --> 00:56:36,860
now all my friends are doing it it's

1167
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:38,840
really a small price to pay if you want

1168
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:41,090
to live I used to take antidepressants

1169
00:56:45,220 --> 00:56:43,850
but I don't need them now the urine

1170
00:56:47,740 --> 00:56:45,230
fixed the part of my brain that was

1171
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:47,750
making me depressed if you have asthma

1172
00:56:53,050 --> 00:56:50,690
it cures that too it carries just about

1173
00:56:56,410 --> 00:56:53,060
everything I'm so glad that I found out

1174
00:56:59,230 --> 00:56:56,420
about urine therapy and on the topic of

1175
00:57:01,330 --> 00:56:59,240
urine therapy for HIV or AIDS one

1176
00:57:04,540 --> 00:57:01,340
website i came across offers a tincture

1177
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:04,550
known as aids soul or tablets called a

1178
00:57:11,050 --> 00:57:07,250
cure which they say are effective in

1179
00:57:14,130 --> 00:57:11,060
hiv/aids patients now the website refers

1180
00:57:16,750 --> 00:57:14,140
to this tincture as quote a horrible

1181
00:57:19,330 --> 00:57:16,760
antibacterial product useful in various

1182
00:57:22,630 --> 00:57:19,340
bacterial infections such as the common

1183
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:22,640
cold bronchitis influenza

1184
00:57:28,270 --> 00:57:25,490
bronchopulmonary infections tonsillitis

1185
00:57:31,180 --> 00:57:28,280
urinary tract infections fever skin

1186
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:31,190
infections and also helps to cure AIDS

1187
00:57:36,460 --> 00:57:34,850
due to its antibacterial action it's

1188
00:57:38,890 --> 00:57:36,470
funny that they say it's effective in

1189
00:57:42,730 --> 00:57:38,900
treating HIV because of its bacterial

1190
00:57:45,490 --> 00:57:42,740
action when HIV is a virus however I

1191
00:57:47,620 --> 00:57:45,500
digress there is also an accompanying

1192
00:57:49,690 --> 00:57:47,630
youtube channel for this company but it

1193
00:57:53,590 --> 00:57:49,700
is entirely in Hindi with Taiwanese

1194
00:57:55,990 --> 00:57:53,600
subtitles however the byline says that

1195
00:57:58,320 --> 00:57:56,000
patients suffering from hiv/aids have

1196
00:58:00,700 --> 00:57:58,330
benefited from cow urine therapy

1197
00:58:02,710 --> 00:58:00,710
although some proponents of urine

1198
00:58:05,260 --> 00:58:02,720
therapy say you should only use your own

1199
00:58:07,180 --> 00:58:05,270
urine there are other websites that tell

1200
00:58:09,700 --> 00:58:07,190
you you can use cow urine as just

1201
00:58:13,180 --> 00:58:09,710
mentioned but also other types of urine

1202
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:13,190
including plant urine now plug urine is

1203
00:58:17,530 --> 00:58:15,410
the water that the plant by its root

1204
00:58:21,250 --> 00:58:17,540
system filters and lifts from great

1205
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:21,260
depths and I quote no external water

1206
00:58:26,710 --> 00:58:23,510
sources or artificially processed water

1207
00:58:28,750 --> 00:58:26,720
is used and this ensures the water

1208
00:58:32,170 --> 00:58:28,760
tains no unfavorable memories of

1209
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:32,180
artificial processing and this method of

1210
00:58:36,580 --> 00:58:34,730
extracting plant urine is used to

1211
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:36,590
produce a new generation of flower

1212
00:58:41,950 --> 00:58:39,530
essences or remedies known as the

1213
00:58:44,620 --> 00:58:41,960
steppin offs method after due to steppin

1214
00:58:47,380 --> 00:58:44,630
offs who created the new generation of

1215
00:58:49,210 --> 00:58:47,390
flower remedies traditionally flower

1216
00:58:51,670 --> 00:58:49,220
remedies or essences were made with

1217
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:51,680
parts from cut flowers or other parts of

1218
00:58:57,070 --> 00:58:54,170
the plant which had been soaked in water

1219
00:58:59,500 --> 00:58:57,080
and solarized but this newly discovered

1220
00:59:02,230 --> 00:58:59,510
method extracts the essence from a live

1221
00:59:03,940 --> 00:59:02,240
plant itself the plant is then left

1222
00:59:07,630 --> 00:59:03,950
unharmed to continue its growth in

1223
00:59:10,359 --> 00:59:07,640
nature fully intact and this apparently

1224
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:10,369
has a beneficial impact on the plant the

1225
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:12,410
environment and improves the strength

1226
00:59:16,750 --> 00:59:14,090
and healing quality of the flower

1227
00:59:19,150 --> 00:59:16,760
essence so now we're starting to drift

1228
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:19,160
into homeopathy territory where it's

1229
00:59:23,530 --> 00:59:21,050
being discussed that the urine might

1230
00:59:26,290 --> 00:59:23,540
maintain a memory the difference being

1231
00:59:28,990 --> 00:59:26,300
in this case the memory is bad whereas

1232
00:59:32,980 --> 00:59:29,000
in homeopathy it is critical to it being

1233
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:32,990
effective or not the lady I spoke to at

1234
00:59:37,540 --> 00:59:35,570
the psychic and alternative fair advised

1235
00:59:40,180 --> 00:59:37,550
me that the best way to use urine

1236
00:59:42,010 --> 00:59:40,190
therapy is to place four or five drops

1237
00:59:43,599 --> 00:59:42,020
of your own urine under your tongue and

1238
00:59:45,790 --> 00:59:43,609
that will cure just about everything

1239
00:59:48,250 --> 00:59:45,800
whilst I don't recommend that you try

1240
00:59:50,740 --> 00:59:48,260
these listeners if you're willing please

cinemas upstairs which I've got the

1303
01:02:52,099 --> 01:02:48,869
other day yeah yeah yeah and we're

1304
01:02:54,770 --> 01:02:52,109
sitting in one bar of a giant hanger

1305
01:02:56,809 --> 01:02:54,780
type room as room as big as an aircraft

1306
01:02:59,870 --> 01:02:56,819
hang or even bigger full of poker

1307
01:03:01,430 --> 01:02:59,880
machines casino type stuff and over to

1308
01:03:03,859 --> 01:03:01,440
my right here I'm seeing a big wall of

1309
01:03:06,559 --> 01:03:03,869
baseball bedding or something like that

1310
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:06,569
Bogut's cricket cricket I thought so

1311
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:08,490
yeah

1312
01:03:14,690 --> 01:03:11,130
a little different and if I further to

1313
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:14,700
my right we have horse racing and this

1314
01:03:17,780 --> 01:03:16,290
is only one band on the other side of

1315
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:17,790
the room past the tables there's another

1316
01:03:21,620 --> 01:03:19,650
bar for people who haven't been to Las

1317
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:21,630
Vegas it's like the world's biggest era

1318
01:03:29,180 --> 01:03:26,250
cell phone and Richard Ely food beer out

1319
01:03:33,410 --> 01:03:29,190
of every disease and just as classy I'm

1320
01:03:35,300 --> 01:03:33,420
not saying it really is it's a great

1321
01:03:36,740 --> 01:03:35,310
venue for the convention though I must

1322
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:36,750
say because the room we have for the

1323
01:03:41,900 --> 01:03:39,090
meaning the ballroom they call it is

1324
01:03:44,510 --> 01:03:41,910
massive beyond belief and we ride across

1325
01:03:46,460 --> 01:03:44,520
the corridor so it's all there it's

1326
01:03:48,230 --> 01:03:46,470
pretty good and Las Vegas can be pretty

1327
01:03:50,150 --> 01:03:48,240
hit or miss a lot of the hotels are old

1328
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:50,160
and of course they don't want to make

1329
01:03:53,330 --> 01:03:51,570
you too comfortable in your room they

1330
01:03:54,590 --> 01:03:53,340
want you to come down in gambling casino

1331
01:03:56,270 --> 01:03:54,600
so a lot of the rooms aren't the nicest

1332
01:03:57,980 --> 01:03:56,280
and we're lucky because this place is

1333
01:03:59,750 --> 01:03:57,990
brand new and I told us we're the first

1334
01:04:01,070 --> 01:03:59,760
big convention that they've actually had

1335
01:04:03,590 --> 01:04:01,080
here i'm not sure if that's true but

1336
01:04:05,180 --> 01:04:03,600
that's what they told us so we got like

1337
01:04:08,859 --> 01:04:05,190
new rooms plasma screens very

1338
01:04:12,859 --> 01:04:08,869
comfortable nice beds it's great 75 80

1339
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:12,869
75 cent hotdogs have you tried 102 you

1340
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:17,250
had to one thing that I noticed I was

1341
01:04:20,780 --> 01:04:18,570
interesting and said they have a wide

1342
01:04:28,349 --> 01:04:20,790
variety slot machines i saw one over by

1343
01:04:30,310 --> 01:04:28,359
the by the buffet called mr. woo yes

1344
01:04:33,010 --> 01:04:30,320

1345
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:33,020
manufacturer last night dinner yeah and

1346
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:34,730
he was

1347
01:04:40,980 --> 01:04:37,010
very interested in buying that one on

1348
01:04:47,150 --> 01:04:43,099
the auditions

1349
01:04:49,220 --> 01:04:47,160
worrying believe that's a industry I

1350
01:04:51,799 --> 01:04:49,230
know of in Australia making these we

1351
01:04:55,370 --> 01:04:51,809
call them hokies poking poker machines

1352
01:04:56,930 --> 01:04:55,380
pokers not slot machines right now I was

1353
01:04:58,729 --> 01:04:56,940
very interested yesterday and this is a

1354
01:05:00,859 --> 01:04:58,739
situation that we often talk about on

1355
01:05:07,069 --> 01:05:00,869
the think tank it was a great discussion

1356
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:07,079
about vaccinations and i can't wait now

1357
01:05:11,359 --> 01:05:09,690
to watch it again on the DVD because it

1358
01:05:12,559 --> 01:05:11,369
was saying all sorts of things that

1359
01:05:15,769 --> 01:05:12,569
we've been saying for a long time

1360
01:05:17,059 --> 01:05:15,779
especially in australia or the problems

1361
01:05:20,210 --> 01:05:17,069
that we've been having did it do

1362
01:05:27,049 --> 01:05:20,220
everybody see that i thought i thought

1363
01:05:30,289 --> 01:05:27,059
that was great so what did what what did

1364
01:05:31,849 --> 01:05:30,299
you really get out of it Brian he's

1365
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:31,859
picking on me because I should I shook

1366
01:05:35,870 --> 01:05:34,410
my head no I have to miss that one I for

1367
01:05:37,549 --> 01:05:35,880
some reason half of my tams are always

1368
01:05:40,309 --> 01:05:37,559
spoiled by meetings and appointments and

1369
01:05:42,710 --> 01:05:40,319
so forth in such on people dragging you

1370
01:05:44,749 --> 01:05:42,720
down the bus to do recorded exactly this

1371
01:05:47,029 --> 01:05:44,759
is prob so so yeah I had to miss that

1372
01:05:48,890 --> 01:05:47,039
one but that's the best thing about town

1373
01:05:51,079 --> 01:05:48,900
though like there are these awesome

1374
01:05:52,609 --> 01:05:51,089
lectures but I think the people

1375
01:05:54,979 --> 01:05:52,619
unique here you know the conversations

1376
01:05:58,459 --> 01:05:54,989
that you have with the different people

1377
01:06:00,440 --> 01:05:58,469
and meeting the activists oh yeah will

1378
01:06:04,309 --> 01:06:00,450
it show up there's something amazing

1379
01:06:06,140 --> 01:06:04,319
going on in every room there really is

1380
01:06:08,420 --> 01:06:06,150
there really is and it is the meeting

1381
01:06:11,329 --> 01:06:08,430

01:06:13,549 --> 01:06:11,339
isn't it oh it's it's really the

1383
01:06:14,900 --> 01:06:13,559

01:07:34,789 --> 01:07:32,190
looking at the sydney university to be

1415
01:07:37,579 --> 01:07:34,799
the venue which is great like a good

1416
01:07:42,620 --> 01:07:37,589
nice big lecture theatres we can use

1417
01:07:49,849 --> 01:07:42,630
those now who is sydney yeah a long way

1418
01:07:52,489 --> 01:07:49,859
to go he's working on it did you know

1419
01:07:54,380 --> 01:07:52,499
the leg train talking about bad jokes

1420
01:07:58,099 --> 01:07:54,390
did you know that brian dunning actually

1421
01:08:02,930 --> 01:07:58,109
invented the noiseless telephone he won

1422
01:08:12,090 --> 01:08:05,640
it wasn't funny last night when he told

1423
01:08:14,970 --> 01:08:12,100
it here very good yeah I might suit you

1424
01:08:17,370 --> 01:08:14,980
Travis for a moment yes you listen to

1425
01:08:19,380 --> 01:08:17,380
the show yes I do I enjoyed very much i

1426
01:08:20,940 --> 01:08:19,390
know i've been i've been so happy to

1427
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:20,950
have lots of people come to me and say

1428
01:08:29,519 --> 01:08:26,290
they hi girls hi they listen to the show

1429
01:08:31,260 --> 01:08:29,529
yep what what what do you find

1430
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:31,270
interesting about it already you get out

1431
01:08:34,650 --> 01:08:32,650
of it which would be different from an

1432
01:08:36,900 --> 01:08:34,660
American podcast I think it's just

1433
01:08:39,539 --> 01:08:36,910
seeing seeing it from a slightly

1434
01:08:41,340 --> 01:08:39,549
different viewpoint I think the one

1435
01:08:43,769 --> 01:08:41,350
thing that I really got from skeptic

1436
01:08:46,769 --> 01:08:43,779
zone and it kind of made me a little

1437
01:08:48,590 --> 01:08:46,779
nuts was it really focused me more

1438
01:08:51,420 --> 01:08:48,600
because you talk about a lot more about

1439
01:08:53,309 --> 01:08:51,430
alternative medicine stuff homeopathy ah

1440
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:53,319
the an evac stuff and that's just that

1441
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:55,210
drives me up a wall and I seem to get

1442
01:09:00,170 --> 01:08:57,690
that more from your podcast than I do

1443
01:09:02,780 --> 01:09:00,180
mother once cuz homeopathy doesn't seem

1444
01:09:05,410 --> 01:09:02,790
to be as big in the United States as it

1445
01:09:09,229 --> 01:09:05,420
seems to be down in Australia uh-huh so

1446
01:09:10,939 --> 01:09:09,239
it is yeah it's a pity I mean what's a

1447
01:09:13,070 --> 01:09:10,949
pity it's big anywhere but it does

1448
01:09:16,670 --> 01:09:13,080
happen to be to be big in Australia a

1449
01:09:18,349 --> 01:09:16,680
lot of people kept in inspecting they

1450
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:18,359

the show yes oh great so um what some of

1458
01:09:45,410 --> 01:09:44,219
the feedback I get from Australians

1459
01:09:49,550 --> 01:09:45,420
listening to the show is that they're

1460
01:09:51,650 --> 01:09:49,560
happy there's a local podcast yeah it's

1461
01:09:54,019 --> 01:09:51,660
one of the only podcasters there's three

1462
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:54,029
or four American podcasts that got

1463
01:10:03,350 --> 01:09:57,090
skipped oi skeptic ality see said skip

1464
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:03,360
toid put the SGU out of fear that that

1465
01:10:08,450 --> 01:10:05,610
are really good but it's really unusual

1466
01:10:10,910 --> 01:10:08,460
actually be here good material coming in

1467
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:10,920
Australian accent it's very unusual to

1468
01:10:17,090 --> 01:10:14,730
hear that it well it's really not that

1469
01:10:18,709 --> 01:10:17,100
surprising than Australian a video like

1470
01:10:20,330 --> 01:10:18,719
that it's very weird to hear it coming

1471
01:10:21,770 --> 01:10:20,340
into the Australian accent just gets so

1472
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:21,780
used to you you get very close to the

1473
01:10:24,830 --> 01:10:23,610
podcast being American but you know

1474
01:10:28,710 --> 01:10:24,840
there are more and more Australian

1475
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:28,720
podcast now along these lines yes

1476
01:10:33,330 --> 01:10:31,210
and saying if there's there's no good

1477
01:10:35,430 --> 01:10:33,340
content available in Australian accent

1478
01:10:39,690 --> 01:10:35,440

father's place on the planet from Las

1554
01:14:26,990 --> 01:14:25,640
that's a good answer now Mario let's try

1555
01:14:29,419 --> 01:14:27,000
an experiment here let's try an

1556
01:14:31,490 --> 01:14:29,429
experiment I've got now you've been

1557
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:31,500
watching me closely I hope you see that

1558
01:14:39,260 --> 01:14:34,050
quite sneekly I've been drinking beer

1559
01:14:43,310 --> 01:14:39,270
now which means my beer bottle is almost

1560
01:14:45,050 --> 01:14:43,320
empty Mario here- almost four so we're

1561
01:14:48,260 --> 01:14:45,060
going to do a little acoustic experiment

1562
01:14:50,540 --> 01:14:48,270
right now I have a pen so then the

1563
01:14:52,580 --> 01:14:50,550
experiment won't involve any cake this

1564
01:14:54,919 --> 01:14:52,590
time no cake in my face last year she'd

1565
01:14:58,189 --> 01:14:54,929
put cake in my face it was quite funny

1566
01:14:59,750 --> 01:14:58,199
I'm really sorry to hear that I'm really

1567
01:15:03,140 --> 01:14:59,760
sorry to be sitting between the two of

1568
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:03,150
you I'm really sorry audience thank

1569
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:06,810
brian dunning we'll see you later sorry

1570
01:15:12,430 --> 01:15:09,090
i have to go i'll see you all in white

1571
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:12,440
november two thousand to thank you

1572
01:15:17,470 --> 01:15:15,770
all right now let's try a little this is

1573
01:15:18,670 --> 01:15:17,480
a very simple experiment but we had to

1574
01:15:21,130 --> 01:15:18,680
come up with something rule you could

1575
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:21,140
use for audio because last year it was

1576
01:15:24,490 --> 01:15:22,850
very visual and pie in the face and

1577
01:15:25,630 --> 01:15:24,500
everything like that right so we're

1578
01:15:27,850 --> 01:15:25,640
going to do this little experiment than

1579
01:15:30,459 --> 01:15:27,860
mario is going to explain it more later

1580
01:15:32,590 --> 01:15:30,469
on and on her smarter than that type

1581
01:15:34,300 --> 01:15:32,600
stuff and we're talking about why things

1582
01:15:37,209 --> 01:15:34,310
sound differently depending on the

1583
01:15:40,930 --> 01:15:37,219
volume of liquid say inside of oil so

1584
01:15:45,070 --> 01:15:40,940
listeners can you guess is this bottle

1585
01:15:48,370 --> 01:15:45,080
full or empty write your answers on the

1586
01:15:53,890 --> 01:15:48,380
back of a postcard don't worry I'll pick

1587
01:15:56,050 --> 01:15:53,900
up yours all right now the only thing is

1588
01:15:58,300 --> 01:15:56,060
that you kind of Kerry dancer yeah hmm

1589
01:16:01,209 --> 01:15:58,310
let's never mind that's because you

1590
01:16:09,490 --> 01:16:01,219
weren't yours it why God this is mine

1591
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:09,500
again yours now why why does mine sound

1592
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:11,810
lower if I'm hitting this and it's full

1593
01:16:17,110 --> 01:16:14,570
of liquid you wouldn't wouldn't the echo

1594
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:17,120
that the noise i'm making be made lower

1595
01:16:20,620 --> 01:16:19,010
by the fact it's gotta travel from

1596
01:16:22,900 --> 01:16:20,630
liquid and everything else that's going

1597
01:16:25,990 --> 01:16:22,910
on no so what's going on is when we clap

1598
01:16:28,390 --> 01:16:26,000
the glass we make the glass travel a

1599
01:16:30,930 --> 01:16:28,400
little bit but when the bottle is empty

1600
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:30,940
the entire glass could rattle

1601
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:33,489
and when it's not when it's full the

1602
01:16:36,420 --> 01:16:34,930
liquid is stopping it and makes it

1603
01:16:40,470 --> 01:16:36,430
making it rattle a little bit less

1604
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:40,480
quickly yeah so you hear it lower or

1605
01:16:51,070 --> 01:16:43,170
higher but if you do something different

1606
01:16:58,520 --> 01:16:53,840
no the effect was the other way around

1607
01:17:08,330 --> 01:16:58,530
you see yours was slower ah will do so

1608
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:08,340
do it again will do together there we go

1609
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:10,650
so now mine is higher than yours is

1610
01:17:15,980 --> 01:17:13,050
lower this is because now we're actually

1611
01:17:17,870 --> 01:17:15,990
making the air move around and make this

1612
01:17:21,410 --> 01:17:17,880
sound not the glass so now there's more

1613
01:17:24,110 --> 01:17:21,420
air like moving around and creating the

1614
01:17:27,230 --> 01:17:24,120
sound and rather than here with the

1615
01:17:29,420 --> 01:17:27,240
bottle is half full there's less air it

1616
01:17:31,310 --> 01:17:29,430
has less time to move around and shake

1617
01:17:33,500 --> 01:17:31,320
the air and create a sound and so this

1618
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:33,510
one would be higher than this one so you

1619
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:36,090
get you can get two sounds out of the

1620
01:17:39,650 --> 01:17:37,770
price of one for example you can get a

1621
01:17:44,210 --> 01:17:39,660
high sound from one bottle from the same

1622
01:17:47,990 --> 01:17:44,220
bottle a low sound exactly and the low

1623
01:17:52,100 --> 01:17:48,000
sound if you tap it right yours I'm

1624
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:52,110
tapping exactly and this will be lower

1625
01:18:02,570 --> 01:18:00,650
isn't science wonderful everybody isn't

1626
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:02,580

1627
01:18:13,650 --> 01:18:09,330

01:19:17,370 --> 01:19:16,120
up with exactly what something everybody

1656
01:19:19,230 --> 01:19:17,380

four nights and cans so I I know it

1723
01:22:59,800 --> 01:22:57,170
wasn't quite as exciting as being in Las

1724
01:23:01,960 --> 01:22:59,810
Vegas blood cans is pretty nice too but

1725
01:23:04,270 --> 01:23:01,970
well banner just cut just can't

1726
01:23:06,610 --> 01:23:04,280
accelerate very cool yeah oh and one

1727
01:23:09,700 --> 01:23:06,620
thing before we go I don't Richard have

1728
01:23:11,950 --> 01:23:09,710
you heard of the bio disc bio disc why

1729
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:11,960
they cost they cost about six hundred

1730
01:23:18,970 --> 01:23:15,530
dollars yeah round piece of glass yeah

1731
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:18,980
and they energize water so you actually

1732
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:21,890
you turn the tap on and you put the bio

1733
01:23:25,690 --> 01:23:23,810
disc under the under the tap and then

1734
01:23:27,850 --> 01:23:25,700
you let the water flow over the piece of

1735
01:23:30,340 --> 01:23:27,860
glass called the bio disc yeah and into

1736
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:30,350
the jug and then it actually aligns and

1737
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:33,410
attunes all the atoms inside the water

1738
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:35,570
how did you find out on it because a

1739
01:23:41,590 --> 01:23:36,890
friend of mine actually written bought

1740
01:23:43,090 --> 01:23:41,600
10 it's ridiculous and apparently all

1741
01:23:44,500 --> 01:23:43,100
the directors of the company are being

1742
01:23:46,870 --> 01:23:44,510
sued for fraud for all sorts of other

1743
01:23:49,090 --> 01:23:46,880
things but one of the claims that the

1744
01:23:51,430 --> 01:23:49,100
bio disc besides doing everything from

1745
01:23:54,010 --> 01:23:51,440
curing HIV to your curvature of the

1746
01:23:57,250 --> 01:23:54,020
spine to your brain tumors it actually

1747
01:24:00,040 --> 01:23:57,260
makes you drive faster what makes you

1748
01:24:02,170 --> 01:24:00,050
drive makers drive faster and that's a

1749
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:02,180
claim on there and it's so obvious that

1750
01:24:08,410 --> 01:24:04,850
this thing is the biggest joke scam ever

1751
01:24:09,910 --> 01:24:08,420
that's allegedly allegedly that'll

1752
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:09,920
probably some people say it's so

1753
01:24:14,230 --> 01:24:12,170
probably obvious that it might be one of

1754
01:24:16,330 --> 01:24:14,240
the biggest scans ever but I check it

1755
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:16,340
out skeptics are bio disc or just search

1756
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:18,410
for it it's it's a phenomenal piece of

1757
01:24:22,819 --> 01:24:20,449
glass good heavens

1758
01:24:24,950 --> 01:24:22,829
