are you prepared for the big one links not I’m Nick from British Columbia Canada let’s talk about that good mythical morning today’s episode is brought to you by Blue Microphones maker of this wonderful mic that we have been using for a long time the mouse creator of the sound that is G mm go to blue Mike comm to check out their amazing products just listen just listen when I get clothes like this just how amazing you might think that I would be because of this voice you weren’t looking at oh I mean because of this microphone you smell that Rhett it is the smell of freshness that is a brand new week thanks for joining us and legitimately I can say the smell of freshness thank you to the mythical beasts that mailed us to our pl box air fresheners we’re using them baby thank you right now and we’re calling you baby calling you baby because it’s Monday and it smells fresh thanks to you okay we moved to California recently we’ve established that for those of you who watch good mythical morning on a regular basis in almost a year now that if you can use recently loosely yes and we moved from North Carolina mm-hmm and there are certain things that you worry about when you live in North Carolina like tornadoes hurricanes and there are certain things that you worry about when you live in California mudslides fires wildfires coyotes coyotes people who can’t drive Laila’s and earthquakes and there has been a lot of talk about the big one if you watch any kind of television at all especially if you watch Discovery Channel or National Geographic there every couple of days there’s a special on the big one or the probability of the next big earthquake and what’s going to happen how devastating is going to be and there’s all kinds of talk amongst the people out here in the Los Angeles area Angelenos we have established that’s what they call those people not Angela sites as link tried to call them which sounds like a parasite you can do that you can call enough um that earthquakes are a big deal because the time you need to be prepared people are like do you have an earthquake kit out your earthquake and you know ironically since we’ve been out here we have not experienced any earthquakes that I know no no but back home in North Carolina they had one when we were here and maybe it’s us maybe us coming out here redirected the epicenter of u.s. earthquakes to where we were from that’s called egocentric thinking Lincoln that did you think that we had something to do with the earthquakes why world and I would call it ego seismic thinking oh that’s good there’s a new word put that in the urban dictionary go I will gladly accept being an ego seismic wherever I go earthquakes fleek you know I should be getting paid for that I think that actually be anti ego seismic put that in the urban dictionary oh my goodness California has a ninety-nine point seven percent chance of having a six point seven magnitude earthquake or larger in the next thirty years this is like a study that was done in 2008 and these things are difficult to predict but it’s based on the activity of the fault the thin Andreas Fault some other six point seven out of a scale of what ten or a hundred I think it’s ten is the Richter scale but I think every time you go up a point the intensity goes up by ten it isn’t a it is a geometric scale it’s not a linear scale so geo seismic so basically this means that it’s very likely that if we stay out here for a long time we will experience an earthquake and the big one the the quote-unquote big one which is the theoretical 7.8 magnitude or greater that could happen there is a forty six percent chance that that will happen in the next thirty years so you know haven’t happened again this is all it could happen right now so we’re going to happen right now or could happen thirty years from now it could happen for right now okay but it’s not happening all right now and the question is what if it happen right now well me now at least we’d be catching you on tape but this would definitely go viral this video would go viral because as it stands this video is not going to go viral but it but it’s going to be helpful to some people it’s funny when I think of an earthquake hitting like if it happened right now I picture it there being a crack that would form in between my legs always you know watching lots of cartoons and movies I always picture the crack between my feet so I thought about a sit crack between your thighs thank you if you’re picturing that on a regular basis you’re definitely I always picture the crack between my some kind of ego crack Oh centric crack egocentric I know I always put really crack between my feet and so immediately I have to make a choice which that left or right and you know what if what if I have family members on one side and I have other family members on the others you form a link bridge and to tell the family to cross over to one side that’s what you do cross over use me as a bridge you probably won’t have time to make those kind of plans but you do you can make some plans and all seriously we’re making plans right now in all seriousness there is there are some things you could do and this is this show is sort of semi educational take it what you will but we know in my pathetic there’s some of you there’s some of you out there who are not in danger of an earthquake so this is purely for entertainment purposes or if you ever visit an area that is earthquake prone because there is something that you should do now all the reading that I’ve been doing about this because I’ve sort of been are the research person for this particular thing last week you researched binaural beats even a great job on that by the way and yeah I’m you know I’m sleeping like a baby but I can’t say that I’m listening to the the washing I not have been coming up with all kinds of creative ideas but I’m keeping them to myself because you don’t appreciate the process well okay then I’m not going to share with you the keys to earthquake preparedness because I’m the one who did the research on this yeah they say the thing that you should do first of all is you should get to an interior wall if you’re near an exterior wall get away from big windows and this is in preparation for an earthquake like at any time leading up to it you should always walk along the interior walls of your house just think no this is when an earthquake happens okay uh but if there is a large desk or table in the area you should get underneath it and you should hold on to it for dear life I’m looking around the only table we have is this flimsy card table with a hole in it so the blue mic can come off throughout this will not work this is not adequate I don’t know if we have anything it’s in here that’s adequate I would think that we would just go out this door right here and get out because we’re so close to the door unless the door like jammed or something we would just sort of just huddle we would just kind of hold each other huddle we bear hug each other outside just ya know in one side oh okay what have you formed a table and I got underneath you I might do that for you you’re a good friend I’m bigger than you agreed it was in agreement I’m heavier uh so finding a big object not the one that can fall on you but one that you can kind of get under and hold on to that’s the way to kind of get through the earthquake but more so what they talk about out here is what you should have on hand now first of all if there’s a big earthquake the main thing that’s going to happen it isn’t like you know some people will die you know there will be some things that will collapse and that kind of thing but that’s not really the problem if the crabbers between your feet you’re gonna die probably that if it happens we might die if they’re shaking but you don’t see the crack then you’ve got a chain but the real problem is the aftermath what happens in an area is this populated this densely populated with water that’s being pumped in from out of state all of a sudden there’s going to be a water shortage there’s going to be fires around there’s going to be electricity is going to be out which the main thing that I’m worried about is the water because you know the weather so mild it’s not like we’re going to freeze or we’re going to burn up or anything like that but so you have to drink water got to have water to survive until they become people can kind of come in and that kind of thing so the main thing to have is water I think they say like five gallons no a gallon a day per person or something like that we’ll put the actual suggested fact at the bottom of the screen just in case I’m wrong but did this brings me to a greater point which is I’ve been thinking about this actually I already got my water I’ve got adequate water supply already clean water how much water do you well I don’t know how many gallons it is but I probably need to up it a little bit because in the same way that every time we go somewhere and we have to pay cash for something you’re like hey man you got any cash and then I in a pan and you so here’s what’s gonna happen okay so this is okay this is about me now when the big one comes my theory is I’m gonna have all my stool ition people the people who have prepared that people were the resources they become targets I mean I’m going to be finding people off they’re trying to climbing in my backyard over my fence I’m gonna have to arm my my children to keep them out are we talking about earthquakes oh the zombie apocalypse if it’s a big enough earthquake we could have serious problems and I’m going to have these resources and I know it’s going to happen there’s gonna be all these people trying to get into my house and take my resources and then I’m gonna look out there and you and your family are going to be amongst them because you’re not gonna be prepared and you know what I’m gonna treat you like an outsider because if I let you and your family in then I kind of let somebody else’s family so so let me get this straight during an earthquake you’ll gladly become the table with which I huddle underneath and save my life is safe but then in the long run I’m on my own we’ll teach Amanda fish will you once the earthquake stops you’re on your own I will protect you during the shaking but once the earthquake is over you got to go take care of your family you got to be prepared you got to have the water purification tablets and you got to have the canned goods in the freeze-dried food in the flashlights and the battery powered radios but you’re gonna want company if you just get a little bit more I mean if you bring stuff with you I’d be glad to let your families live out here in the backyard but from from you know this is the four mile hike from my house to your house might be probably won’t sir I wouldn’t make it if I was carrying you know foodstuffs with me they’re like you have a backpack you know I would be attacked by a by a zombie there’s no zombies that’s that’s not the zombie part is not that’s not true well by the time I get here I’ll be like listen I had water and I had foodstuffs but then you know it was it was lifted from me and all I’ve got is all I’ve got is myself I can offer my company I can offer conversation if you want to pay me sometime today I will store your earthquake kit at my house so if your family makes it to my house well one or a nice store why don’t you buy it buy both of them but since I have a garage and you just have this as your garage I’ll store both of our stuff at my house because then I die to get to your house but I have the storage but I have a bigger backyard we can’t go inside the house it can fall at any moment we have to stay out here in the backyard ah to be prepared is the bottom line and if you have a friend light link who’s a moocher who doesn’t do as I’m preparing keep you got him okay how much how much of the card how much food do you have right now well I haven’t put got in the food you don’t even have food and you don’t even have that much water no I have a good amount of water I have enough water to make it a few days spin the wheels spin the wheel where it lands it lands it will it’ll tell us how to end this episode of good mythical morning still smells fresh it’s so pleasing teacher and student this is when one of us is teaching the other how to in the episode who wants to be the teacher I don’t care I’ll be this I’ll be the teacher ok class get out your get out your pencil and paper it’s time it’s time for a fill-in-the-blank test are you ready question number one are you ready to end this episode of good mythical morning don’t work on someone else’s paper do you
