00:00Dude my hair is wet. What's wrong with that? No it's just from sweat. What have
00:06you done? Three, two, one. It's good to see you Dana. Thank you. And in spite of the
00:12fact that you're sweating so profusely you still look great. It's hot in here.
00:17Because you're wearing Nautica. Look at us. Look at these amazing Nautica
00:22threads. Corduroy. I have a fun story about corduroy. Sure. I was wearing
00:26corduroy pants and Dave Portnoy bought me pants because he was like why are
00:30you wearing corduroy pants? It's too hot out. We look good. And if you're looking
00:35for the perfect holiday gift this season shop the holiday collection at
00:38Nautica.com. The boys are just so sponsored it's crazy. Yeah your mass
00:44appears to be a little bit down even though you are wet and mass and wetness
00:53are major components to today's topic. The tides. I could have gone many
01:01different areas. Do you know much about tides? You grew up near the water. Tides I
01:04know gravity's involved. I know water's involved and I know the moon's involved.
01:08The earth rotates and as it rotates the gravitational force from the moon pulls
01:18on the earth at all times. The highest point of gravitational force is
01:24obviously whichever point is closest to the moon right? That doesn't seem that
01:28obvious but yeah. Gravity is proportional to the distance right? Yeah it's always
01:34said that. The more massive something is and the closer something is to another
01:37thing the stronger the force of gravity. I remember you telling me that because
01:42I'm big people I get pulled into people or the other way around. Isn't that so poetic that you are
01:50magnetic. I'm magnanimous. Quite quite literally because you're such a
01:53wonderful person but also because you're so large. Those are my balls by the way.
01:57Well I have one ball way bigger than my other one. That's troubling. I know it was
02:02a problem that's the whole thing. Okay good. It'd be fun if we could get through
02:10one episode. No more of my bullshit. With you not telling us some weird fact about
02:15your genitals. Let's say on a day in a day the earth experiences two
02:23high tides and two low tides. The high tides happen of course when the point of
02:30earth is closest to the moon. Somehow on the other opposite extreme of the earth
02:35there is a concurrent high tide. That's weird. That is I don't like that. Do you
02:40want to try to guess why that might be the case? Because you can't have two
02:44you can't have two gravities going at the same time in different directions.
02:54That was so dumb. But it's true. And and so but so confidently said. That I might
03:02not be wrong. This is where we have the average gravitational force of on earth
03:10from the moon. The A G F O E F T M. If that's right good job. The center of the
03:18earth is where the average force from the moon on the earth of gravity can be
03:25calculated. And you understand that right? Because obviously it's different here
03:29from where it is here. So if we average this side out with this side we get the
03:33middle. That's essentially what I said. Then we have tidal force. The water on
03:39earth moves. It moves around. Waves. Actually you're not wrong about that.
03:45Tides are just gigantic waves. Yes. That you can't really see as a wave in our
03:51typical sense. However when it is at its peak and it reaches land that is a high
03:58tide. Okay. And when it's at its trough which is the low point of a wave. It's also the
04:04thing you piss in. It when that's at land it is at its low tide. Now here's where
04:11this gets interesting. Why are you staring at me like that? Well it's complicated. You're scaring me.
04:14You really need us to focus. Yeah but you look scary. I'm focusing too. You are staring
04:19through my soul. You look charming in that vest. I know but you're scaring me.
04:23Okay I'm sorry. I don't like it. Somehow the result of tidal force causes a
04:27stretching and elongating of the actual earth itself. Which is how you get the
04:34bulging of the tides on both sides. Are you trying to get me to talk about my
04:40dick? No and I don't want you to. Bulging. Don't do it. Elongating. Stretching. This is
04:47really complicated in a weird way. Yeah. But what we know Dana is that water
04:53moves as a result of the gravitational force on earth from the moon. Yes. Do you
04:58think that there is another thing out there that might contribute to tides?
05:02Sea life. No. The whales. What's another incredibly massive gravitational force
05:10on the earth? The sun. So the sun also has an impact on the tides but less so than
05:18the moon. Why would that be? Because the moon is cold. No. That's a really bad
05:24answer. That's really bad. Oh because the mass it's wet. Yes. But hold on a second.
05:31Wouldn't that mean that the sun would have more of an impact on the moon?
05:34It's further away. That's the reason. Yes. The moon is so much closer. Yeah. Well
05:38that's obvious. The gravity from on the water affecting the water from the tidal
05:42force is more impacted by the moon than the sun. I didn't think I needed to say
05:47that because it was obvious. That's bullshit. The sun still can have an
05:51effect on tides. Yes. Specifically when there's a full moon. All right. Now why is
05:58there a full moon? Full moon is when we are in a certain rotation in our orbit.
06:03It's when the the sun is aligned in a certain way as to shine all of its light
06:08on the moon without the earth being in the way. Right? And when the sun is
06:12aligned with a full moon we have our highest tides. Yeah that's when it starts
06:18uh it gets real up there. Nice. Well said. Well phrased. Gets real up there. Oh yeah.
06:27The tides. The water's up there. Hingham Harbour. Get a fucking calzone. Sit
06:32outside the harbour. That's my thing when I go home. That's my that's my tradition.
06:36I buy a calzone. I sit next to the harbour and I just look at the water.
06:40That's so lovely. And I get blue cheese on my face. That's good. When there is no
06:46moon or a new moon you have the opposite. You have the smallest tides. You would
06:51think by the way that all tides move the water equally around the earth so that
06:58it's always kind of following a typical current, typical pattern. But what
07:03prevents that from being true? Francis I don't have a fucking clue. What gets in
07:08the way of the water? Land. Land mass kind of changes currents and fucks up the
07:14tides. Makes them different in different places. You know what was one of my
07:17favorite sayings is? What's that? A rising tide floats all boats. That's a great one isn't it?
07:22And it's a good lesson. You're a rising tide Dana. I hope so. You float all our
07:26boats except when you're actually in them. In which case you tend to make them
07:31quite tippy. I knew that was coming. Go buy your Nautica for all your holiday gifts

07:41Thank you Franny. You got it brother. See you next time. See ya.
