00:00:06:00 - 00:00:29:34 Unknown Oh. Oh, finally! Oh my gosh. Finally, we're starting the episode with a toke. Who would've guessed? Oh my gosh, so sorry YouTubers. Very smoky in here. Episode 35. Who would've guessed that I started with a joke? Oh, no. Audience. Please hold. I'll give you one guessed as to why you don't see me. Really toke on toke it out. 00:00:29:42 - 00:00:46:57 Unknown It's because of this moment right here. It's because of the red hat and the puff cone. You're like, just hit it on blue or green? No, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to hit it on red. I'm going to hit it without water. Isn't that how we do off here and talk it out anyways? Hi. Welcome back to toke It Out. 00:00:47:07 - 00:01:07:21 Unknown This is your first episode. I can't believe you made it through the first 35 seconds of me dying. But I'm your host, maddy Tokes. And so what are we talking on today? Some of this. Oh, it is. It is going to focus. Amazing. This is alien tech, rosin. Tell me what the strain is. I don't know what it is. 00:01:07:28 - 00:01:38:07 Unknown I was gifted it last night at the Michigan Zalympix! Zalympix, if you don't know, is one of the biggest award shows in cannabis that there is. There are a lot of award shows that, you know, little ones, other ones, different judges, things like that. But Zalympix is really a nationally recognized brand between Michigan, California, I think other places, but I know that those two are the ones I really pay attention to personally. 00:01:38:13 - 00:01:56:31 Unknown So yeah, so the Zalympix is always a really good time. All the brands come out, bring out their best and brightest, most awesomest setups. If you've ever been to one of these kind of like convention type events or award show events, there's usually booths with different people set up. There's stab bars, there's food, there's a whole bunch of stuff. 00:01:56:31 - 00:02:18:55 Unknown And as always, Zalympix killed it. So thank you again, Olympics, for the tickets and the invite. I appreciate you so much. And I hope to see you guys next year at it as well. Yeah. That's right, I know, I know that you guys think that this is not a cannabis podcast and it's not really for the most for 90% of it, but I do it is called Toke It Out because we do toke and we are a part of the cannabis industry. 00:02:18:55 - 00:02:42:33 Unknown Promise, promise. Speaking of Michigan Bud tenders and cannabis industry employees, you are all invited to the high IQ event. Please come. It's 100% free for you guys because the free food Dor Raffles people are going to be winning. Puffco pivot puffco. Proxies. Even if you are not playing trivia, you're going to be entered to win a door raffle. 00:02:42:37 - 00:03:11:51 Unknown At least one. It is consumption friendly and it's going to be a really good time. So check out the Eventbrite in the high IQ link in the bio. Anyways, what did I want to talk about today? How stressed I am. Yeah, a little bit I am. So if you've noticed, I'm doing a little bit less makeup for Take It Out because I am trying to multitask every day of my freaking life, and also relax and enjoy my life and do something that makes me happy and stuff like that, but also work myself to the bones. 00:03:11:56 - 00:03:28:40 Unknown I had an incident, unfortunately with my event and I some of this money I was counting on, I cannot get anymore and that is a bummer. So. And I'm not the event is not going to be downsized at all. It's really going to be my paycheck that's going to be cut, which is it is what it is. 00:03:28:40 - 00:03:46:33 Unknown And that's what happens when you put in an event as the person putting it on. You take the responsibility and you take the L, and that's just what it is. Period. But it is also kind of a bummer when that happens. So I'm complaining right now just a little bit. Two guys that that is a huge bummer, especially because I like this brand. 00:03:46:33 - 00:04:08:24 Unknown And I don't think it's because they didn't like like the event. I think it just like the timing didn't work out between, you know, what they were doing and stuff. So not even a big deal anyways. And let me tell you guys, let me tell you something like I it's like about to fall. I always quote him when he's like he's about to like they're like he's like doing like a bungee jump or like free fall or whatever. 00:04:08:24 - 00:04:30:25 Unknown And he's like, wait, wait, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. And that's how I feel. I'm like, I feel when I get on this podcast. I'm like, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. It's me. It's me. You guys don't live this. Okay? So we're getting cool. So my event. So it is ten days away and I thought, oh my gosh, time shouldn't be real. 00:04:30:25 - 00:04:52:17 Unknown And it isn't. It's technically it's not real. It's just like a construct. But who made that construct and what where did start? What are we doing. So of course, of course of course. My cuckoo clock as self is like oh kush clock, who invented cooks? Let's talk about that on the podcast I am, I'm deep in it with this. 00:04:52:17 - 00:05:18:01 Unknown Okay. So I thought okay who who invented time? What is the deal with time or whatever? And I don't mean like calendar days. I mean like, why is it right now for 38 on a Sunday? Like, why is it 4:38 p.m. on a Sunday? Let me tell you something. Okay? So we're taking it back to like 1500 BCE, ancient Egypt. 00:05:18:01 - 00:05:45:24 Unknown Okay. Walk with me here. Walk with me. Ancient Egypt, they're using shadow sticks and obelisks to make, like, mark hours of the day. Now, I know, I, like, know what an obelisk is, but, like shadow sticks, makeup is the only thing that comes up. A an obelisk and a shadow stick is so crazy. So we're talking early. Sundials like that is going to be one of the earliest ways that you tell time during the day at least. 00:05:45:25 - 00:06:04:17 Unknown Obviously the sundial is not working at night. Can you guess why? It's because the sun isn't up. The fact that I felt like I had to say that just be like, whatever. Is the Washington Monument in Obelisk? Yeah, it's shaped like it. Anyways, started off with the history of gargoyles here. I don't know how I got to that time. 00:06:04:26 - 00:06:25:53 Unknown I don't know guys. It's been an interesting Sunday for me, let me tell you. So that is when the ancient Egyptians, they're marking the day into 12 different parts. And why are they marking into 12 different parts. Well, that is obviously going to be the 12 hours of the day. And these weren't like structured 60 minute hours that we know today. 00:06:26:00 - 00:06:46:22 Unknown This was something that like in the summer, these hours became longer and in the winter they became shorter. So you still had these 12 hours, but they were all part of this day. Daylight because of the obelisk, because of the sun. Obviously, the sun's up longer. What a shadow clock is that? Just like, okay, so we're talking a sundial. 00:06:46:24 - 00:07:10:33 Unknown Like, what do you mean? A shadow clock like that is a sundial, a shadow clock seems like it's a sundial without like, the round part. It's just like a thing in the ground. But it's not exactly an obelisk shape. Okay, not sure how we determined the angle of this. That's actually something I really want to know. But then you go to, you know, a thousand years later, ancient Greece, they're more like refining the sundials. 00:07:10:33 - 00:07:42:09 Unknown They're adapting them to the seasons. They're adapting them to latitudes. They're understanding why that, you know, days are getting longer and stuff. Obviously, people knew like days got longer or whatever, you know, like go ahead and do that philosophy. At this time, of course, ancient Greece, you know, you have like the gods and goddesses and philosophers, they're tying sundials to like the cosmic order and wisdom and like, if you could, like, understand sundials and the hours and all that, that you're wisdom is like level up, level up. 00:07:42:19 - 00:08:06:59 Unknown Then 250 years later, ancient Rome public sundials are informs these sundials you didn't have to be, you know, master philosopher to be understanding how sundials worked anymore. They were in public forums. People had them in their homes and in their backyards and stuff. It says portable sundials were invented for travel. What the fuck are we talking about? We are not. 00:08:06:59 - 00:08:26:51 Unknown This sounds like cartoon esque. Like you've got like a cartoon character and they're whipping out their watch, and it's just like this little sundial and they're like, oh, it's about this. Like, that is cartoon. Ask, what do you mean, a portable sundial? Okay, not modern sundial. Ancient. Oh, are we talking? No fucking way. These are for real. Ancient. 00:08:26:51 - 00:08:54:42 Unknown Okay. So. Oh, okay. So this looks like something out of, like, Pirates of the Caribbean, right? This is like some, like, this is some time. Turner. Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean type. You know, lost medallion of the Ark's, you know, Indiana Jones type shit is a portable sundial. And does it probably just sell time? Yeah, but is it does it look spooky and cursed? 00:08:54:46 - 00:09:18:34 Unknown Yeah, kind of does. Definitely saving this. This is spooky ghost. And there's, like different ones. You guys, they're all these, like, you know, brass kind of medallions that it looks like you wore on your neck or like, flat little like, ashtray size type dials that were had some kind of thing in them. What is a French pocket dial. 00:09:18:39 - 00:09:41:28 Unknown This it was in a was buried in a field in Indiana. What? That is crazy. Okay. A pocket dial that was my nickname in college. Pocket dial. You know this phone call away, baby, I'm just kidding. That's gross. But, you know, these are actually so fucking cool. Okay, so that's very cool. I thought this was going to be, like, a hoax. 00:09:41:33 - 00:10:00:37 Unknown That looks very cool. I, I would have been a bitch that wanted a pocket sundial, for sure. I would have been that hoe. I'd have been. I'd have been hipster in ancient Egypt. You better believe it. Ancient Egypt, ancient Rome. Yeah. And that's as somebody with Italian heritage. Yeah, I know I've been in ancient Rome being a hipster with the pocket sundial. 00:10:00:37 - 00:10:18:01 Unknown You better believe it. Walking down that street, being like. Oh, do you need to know the time? Oh, no problem. I definitely know what it does because I have a pocket sundial. People are like, just look in the square. Just it's right there. And I was like, yeah, but what if I'm not in the square? I know what time it is. 00:10:18:12 - 00:10:39:34 Unknown Douchey. She would have been douchey back then, too. All right. Whatever. So monasteries use these to, like, track prayer times. They were obviously decorative and they were scientific during the Renaissance. That's clear that you have to, like, measure the time, certain things. The Renaissance is time of such great discovery and timing and all that needs to be taken into consideration. 00:10:39:39 - 00:11:02:31 Unknown The symbolism of like, life passes like a shadow, you know, that's so that me with my pocket sundial, you know, life passes like a shadow. I love the Smiths like that have been me. That that have been me. All right. Sorry. So that's how you track time during the day. Now what the fuck? The sun has gone down. 00:11:02:36 - 00:11:20:20 Unknown How am I going to be hipster with my pocket sundial now? Now it's just a fancy, heavy medallion around my neck that I probably owe a shitload on. How am I going to tell time during the night? How am I going to know when to get up? Because the night? How long, how how long do I know I'm going to need to like, sleep for? 00:11:20:20 - 00:11:38:16 Unknown I'm going to like, set my like I can't set my sundial and be like, oh, eight hours to wake up, you know? Then when you like, do that on your alarm and tells you you get 2.5 hours, so you have to wake up for your alarm. Yeah, that happens to be okay. Anyways, we're going to then water clocks. 00:11:38:16 - 00:12:02:02 Unknown We're using the water clock time. That float was, you know, I mean the 1600 BC Egypt and Babylon stone balls with markings for rising or falling water levels. These looked nutty guys. It really like I'm not sure how you're fucking using this, because it's just a bowl of water. Like I don't really understand. So we're going to I'm going to understand by the end of this and we're going to understand together. 00:12:02:11 - 00:12:22:31 Unknown But just know in this moment I have I'm like, not really sure I understand this other part where it's here in like so 600 years later, we're talking to China, thousand BC, ancient bronze water clocks with siphons. Okay. So that is going to be more and I'll show a picture here for you too. But that is going to be more of like a, you know, a funnel type shape. 00:12:22:31 - 00:12:46:49 Unknown Now that is full up and each, you know, part of the funnel, there's like notches on the sign, markings, whatever for the levels. And water slowly drips out to the bottom. And as the water drips out, you know how much time has passed that makes sense to me. The water bowls not really. Not really understanding. So let's see. 00:12:46:57 - 00:13:08:18 Unknown Together we will learn things. Okay, I don't come super prepared because how the fuck are you going to get my. Because I'm not going to act out these like fake reactions. Okay. Like I could do it and I could do it, but I'm not going to. Okay. I'm okay. You know, as water clocks or let's copy text. What is this? 00:13:08:18 - 00:13:35:40 Unknown Pronounce this. Pronounce this for me because I'm not going to say it correctly, and it's going to sound stupid if I say it clepsydras, what the fuck? What the fuck? Word? clepsydras Hold on. clepsydras clepsydras. clepsydras. Okay. Water. clepsydras? clepsydras draws for timekeeping. This is. This is too much. It guys clepsydras 00:13:35:54 - 00:14:00:31 Unknown No, you're not saying it, right? No, it is. I'm sure it is. Okay, wait. Is this what I'm talking about? The siphon thing? Oh, okay. Okay, so this is where water flowed into this bowl. And as the water filled, you could, like, see the notches and you're like, okay, you know, time's up skirt. And then the other one was a siphon where it came out and you could see it like empty, collapsing. 00:14:00:36 - 00:14:29:46 Unknown Okay, so today we learned a new word together, an outflow type where water drained from a vessel into another one icicle. So take a together we can ancient bronze water clogs siphons. Why does that always give me shopping? Next. What do you think I'm shopping for right now? Okay, so I'm really going to need somebody to go ahead and explain more about a collapse and dress, because I see it. 00:14:29:51 - 00:14:51:25 Unknown I thought I understood it, but like, why? Why is there water flowing from the top into it as well as from the bottom? Does it like go together? I'm not really sure. Okay, so water cracks turns out. Or actually a mystery to me. Let's keep going because I've spent how much time on this like five minutes doing the clepsydras 00:14:51:25 - 00:15:17:04 Unknown . Okay, cool. Good shit, good shit. But also very spooky, though, like, imagine. All right. Oh, that's very interesting. So in 400 BC, in Greece, clepsydras clepsydra clepsydri it just is clepsydras must be singular and plural, a collapse. And as we're used to in courts to time speeches, Plato's version could sound an alarm. 00:15:17:04 - 00:15:36:51 Unknown What are we talking about? You guys know I'm not spelling that correctly. Okay. Plato's alarm sounding clepsydras worked by using a siphon to create a whistling sound. When the water reached a certain level, designed to wake his students for early morning lectures. I hate that, I hate. I hate that you figured that out, you stupid son of a bitch again. 00:15:36:55 - 00:16:01:48 Unknown Like I'd be, like, going back there and emptying the water. Have you thrown it on the side? This clever invention used a hydraulic home clock built into a water clock. Hey, you whistling sound! As the water rapidly rushed into a siphoning vessel, it forced the trapped air inside through a narrow opening. This create a similar sound to a teakettle whistling, which was a loud enough to rouse sleepers. 00:16:01:53 - 00:16:23:17 Unknown Wow, I cannot believe you did that, Plato. You. You really fucked it up with that, didn't you? You really, you know, and, like, what was the punishment if you didn't wake up early for these lectures? Was it just like, oh, was he like one of those c one of those college professors that was like, well, you're paying you're paying a lifetime in your butthole to live here. 00:16:23:22 - 00:17:01:09 Unknown So go ahead and whatever in my chambers after you'll figure it out or like and whatever Plato did that it was a thing. It's not whatever. Whatever. That's so gross. I needed to get that out. Maybe not. Okay, so public water clerks and forums ended up being used in, like, the Islamic Golden era as well as in Rome between 200 BC and 1200 CE, Al Djerassi and Islamic engineers created elaborate clocks with gears Automatica, an astronomical function. 00:17:01:13 - 00:17:25:37 Unknown That's very cool. I'm not. What are you talking about? Okay, just. I want to see these things. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. These, like, elaborate clocks that. He's water clocks he's making. Wow. Yeah. Islamic golden era. Are you kidding? Is this for real? This is like, is this for real? That's something that he made. Oh, this is so very cool. 00:17:25:42 - 00:17:55:46 Unknown These are, like, super elaborate, ornate water clocks. Wow. This is sick, y'all. You have to. I'm going to save this picture. This is so sick. Yeah. Talk about Islamic golden. They're a holy shoot. Obviously. Like some of these are I as fuck. But some of these are not I. And they look and obviously for like mechanical like just drawings of what would become, you know, things that's incredible I don't know. 00:17:55:55 - 00:18:17:16 Unknown Wow. That is just so incredible. Anyways, I had no idea that people were making elaborate like water clocks and stuff because I figured I figured they were just kind of like crude things until the next. But I mean, hey, why aren't we making amazing? I mean, I guess like, you know, water siphons off the sides of buildings used to be gargoyles. 00:18:17:16 - 00:18:44:24 Unknown Like, we used to make things cool. Things used to be made fucking cool, like water clocks in the Islamic golden era and gargoyles in the medieval ages. Okay? Things used to be neat. It's like everything is so. Everything is so beige and white and nothing now, dude, like, how is it like that? Why do you like this? And whenever I'm a victim of, like, liking things to look really clean, simple and whatever. 00:18:44:24 - 00:19:15:09 Unknown Because sometimes I can be kind of overstimulated by things. But also I have to remember that, like, I can like, as an adult, I get to pick the things in my house that don't have to overstimulate me and can actually bring me comfort. So if you're somebody who is a victim of Operation Beige or minimalism or clean girl esthetic, remember that if you're listening to this and you are, you know, I want to say like an 18 plus year old adult because that is when you are an adult. 00:19:15:09 - 00:19:42:27 Unknown But, if you're listening to this talk it Out podcasts, hopefully you're 21 and up and you are for sure an adult who can make their own decisions and can choose to surround yourself with the things that you feel comfortable with and aren't trending, to feel the acceptance from others. I'm just saying there's I don't know how we got from clocks to like, do your own thing except yourself, but I'll always bring it back there. 00:19:42:27 - 00:20:03:05 Unknown And let me tell you, we have to keep going. Guys. You guys, this is so. This is very like old. Took it out. We're back. Maybe some medieval Europe, like monasteries again. Are you going to use? If you're in a monastery? They don't use a clock. They are going to use a clock. Let me tell you, they use them before mechanical clocks took over. 00:20:03:12 - 00:20:24:01 Unknown So monasteries were big on the water clocks. And that's obviously because you can keep time throughout the day, morning at night. Now, depending hopefully that water is in the shade and it's not evaporating. And you're not like a super hot day and like, oh, how did these hours get just a couple minutes short? This, you know, feels a little bit short today. 00:20:24:14 - 00:20:43:34 Unknown But I don't know if that was a thing. Water clocks. The symbolism around them is about the steady flow of time, fairness and divine order. So it's water is going to water. And just like people are going to people like morbid says, water is going to water. As I will always say, water is going to water. It's going to do what it's going to do. 00:20:43:39 - 00:21:05:09 Unknown It has no right or wrong. It is. It is divine ordered. It's very. As a Libra, I'm kind of wondering why we're not a water sign, but I get it. It's because it's too unsteady, you know? So now, as I was thinking about clocks and time and shit like that, I was thinking, well, like, when did hourglasses come into play? 00:21:05:09 - 00:21:29:29 Unknown Because, okay, if we're going from like sundials, water clocks. Okay. How how can you use that on like a boat, like what do sailors use. So it turns out it's more closely to hourglasses. So hourglass is a been used since like the eighth century in Europe, they evolved from water clocks, I'm sure is. Do you guys remember like those little things? 00:21:29:29 - 00:21:45:37 Unknown And they were like the little droplets and stuff and they would go through. What am I trying to tell you guys? It was like that, like thicker oil and then water, and it was like the goop and it would flow through and you could, like, play a game with it. Never mind. Anyways, maybe I'm, I'm a child from a simpler time. 00:21:45:37 - 00:22:11:48 Unknown Sorry. So they evolved from water clocks. But obviously you can't be using a water clock or a sundial on a ship, so they use them on ships for navigation, hourglasses and half hourglasses to be able to be like, okay, here's a half hour, next half hour, our next half hour, our next half hour for navigation. Because every half hour you need to be like charting where you're going, because if you're not on the right path, you could be hours and hours out of the way. 00:22:11:52 - 00:22:38:20 Unknown So in the 14th and 15th century, they started becoming popular in like churches, courts, workshops. It was very much a like, you can't make that sand go through the like hourglass of it any faster. It's going to go through. Like unless you're shaking this thing up and down, which hopefully you're not in even in a ship, you know, you, you're flowing, but you're not like, you know, the lid on this thing is not coming off. 00:22:38:20 - 00:23:02:38 Unknown It's it's moving with my hand. So just like that, the sand might move from side to side, but it's not going any quicker or slower through the hourglass because of gravity. Say it with me. Gravity. Okay, now, obviously sand is not affected by it's not affected by motion and it's not affected by temperature also. So this sand getting hot or cold is again not going to affect it. 00:23:02:42 - 00:23:27:07 Unknown Going through an hourglass. In the Renaissance, it became very synonymous with a memento mori because the sands of time and the sands of time running out and memento mori is obviously like, remember, you must die, which is just like, you know, remember, there is an end to it all, just like an hourglass that it's at some point that last grain of sand is going to fall through. 00:23:27:07 - 00:23:46:06 Unknown And as much as you can time it out in an hourglass, you can't make it go faster or slower. It's going to go when it's going to go. So the motto behind being time flies, life is short. Exactly. So it's it's going to keep going. It's going to fly by. And before you know it, it's a very short time. 00:23:46:06 - 00:24:05:25 Unknown So so getting it into the death. Dammit you guys, this is supposed to be a funny fucking podcast. I'm supposed to find funny fucking clips for social media and I can never fucking find them. We're always talking about deep shit. Okay, so I need you to get your stuff together, okay? Because we need to start being more funny and less serious because. 00:24:05:25 - 00:24:26:16 Unknown Holy shit, everything else in my life is so serious right now. Okay? Jeez, Louise, everybody in everybody's life is so serious. I mean, just the world freaking a scene. Look, I'm swearing less to say it's crazy. Okay? Once the 17th century happened, that's when mechanical clocks kind of took over. And that's when hourglasses just stopped becoming you. They stopped being used. 00:24:26:16 - 00:24:52:01 Unknown I mean, they became more symbolism. They became more novelty and more mystical almost. They did survive as, like kitchen timers, school timers. And obviously, like I said, like that symbolism that like a little bit of memento mori and gothic symbolism coming off the Renaissance. Obviously today we're still using hourglasses as like decorations and stuff, but they aren't really used anymore. 00:24:52:01 - 00:25:11:07 Unknown But if you think about it, like even back when computers were first invented, the time passing was an hourglass. Like if you were, something was loading. It was an hourglass, you know, unless you were an Apple user, I think it was, unless it was really, really early. Apple, I think it was always the rainbow wheel of death, but and I hey, Apple. 00:25:11:07 - 00:25:32:29 Unknown Sorry. It's just that's what the internet calls it is the rainbow wheel of Death. Mommy. I would never call it that. So and then obviously mechanical clocks took over and then, you know, it becomes a little it becomes more and less interesting as time like it becomes less mystical and more like, what's the difference between a grandfather and a grandmother clock, you know, what about wind up clocks? 00:25:32:29 - 00:25:53:47 Unknown Why are cuckoo clock so rare? I, I did look into this, you guys. It gets deep, deep with clocks, let me tell you. But I think actually we are going to cut it off. I wanted to go over those guys. You're like, what?
