Hot Takes: Museums Secrets
15 Plays1 year ago
Ever stared at a T-Rex skeleton and thought, “Wow, this is so real”? Well, maybe not. In this episode of Episodes Unscripted, we talk about the sneaky fine print in museums, where dinosaur bones might just be fancy molds. What else isn’t real? Are museums lying to us? Join us for a fun chat about what’s fact, what’s fiction, and whether we’ve been duped all along.

Are Museum Exhibits Authentic?
00:00:11
Speaker
Ooh, Ripley's Believe It or Not. Oh my gosh, that show used to mess me up. We've been in the museums. No, I always question whether they were real. Oh, listen, I've been to so many of those. They're kind of cool. I mean, I just felt like it'd be all props and it's definitely props. I'm a skeptic of museums in general.
00:00:34
Speaker
I mean, but they kind of own it. like What does that mean? factor wait wait What does that mean? You're skeptical of museums. Oh, I've got a nice little rant about museums. Please feel free. A conspiracy theory? Not a conspiracy theory, but.
00:00:49
Speaker
Go ahead. It's factual. Well, I've done a little bit of a great start. So very recently I was in D.C. and we were doing the museum. You know how you do it. You go around and visit all the national one road with. Yeah. Yeah. We were in whichever one that has. Uh. Dinosaurs. Smithsonian. Probably. But the natural history of whatever.
00:01:19
Speaker
And I've always thought, okay, this is not about whether dinosaurs are real or not. That's not this conversation. But I've always thought, okay, these are museums and when you go in a museum, you can all, I feel like you can always tell when something you're looking at is the real deal.
00:01:43
Speaker
because it's normally behind glass or you can't get your hands on it. If you go see like the real flags and the old, you know, all those like it's in a dark room and. But you go in. Some museums that have dinosaur fossils. And you're like, wait a minute, this thing is right here, I can just and we got this dinosaur up hanging here and right here and I'm like,
00:02:13
Speaker
no that is not oh okay but i'm kind of with you on that so why would this be a real so i've got i've got an explanation let me get to it i'm like they wouldn't have this thing right here that's a real dinosaur fossil that i could hop over this little barrier and just knock it down or break it or grab it so i started doing a little bit of looking around i start reading the plaques really close and then i realized wait a minute some of the So I was buzzing the national people were calling me. They hear me calling them out. um The national people, DC, the government. But then I'm like, well, wait a minute, though, there's a couple of little fossils over here that are just kind of single pieces that are behind three planes of glass. What's the deal? And I start reading other plaques and it's like. This is a mold that was made from a real fossil.
00:03:14
Speaker
And then I start realizing almost on every plaque, it has this little emblem or a star or something that's like, this is made from a, this is, I'm like, okay, so what, this isn't really real. I came in here to see, I go to museums cause I want to see, be like, no dude, I really saw the real thing. Like I saw the.
00:03:37
Speaker
Velociraptor constitutional flag or I saw the deck harsh independence or whatever. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Well, you took a leap there from dinosaur fossils. Well, I wanted to give a significant thing.
00:03:52
Speaker
but Well, but well what we you you're not telling us that they've got a constitution and they're like, this was made from a mold of the real constitution. No, no, no, no. I've never encountered that, but someplace. Yeah. And I'm like, no way. They're these, that whole big thing. It cannot be all real fossils. It wouldn't just be right there.
00:04:15
Speaker
But no, you're right. I mean, because we have two museums here in Atlanta. We've got the Telescience Museum and the Fernbank Museum with the Fernbank Museum has an entire brontosaurus, right? That's one of its biggest draws. You say that and I actually don't think that I ever assumed that it was a real dinosaur. I guess I kind of always operated off the assumption that it was a replica because, like you said, that would disintegrate and deteriorate over time.
00:04:44
Speaker
It's got to be a replica. So what do you I just feel. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean, it's been in the ground for, you know, millions of years. But that's why it's preserved. Exactly. When it comes out in the open. Right. But you don't think that these archaeologists that are digging it up are like, all right, maybe we should do something to make sure that we don't just hang it up and it starts, you know, I don't think they do. No, they're right. I don't. I don't think they were real I don't think I ever did the way that you pulled dinosaur bones out of the ground the way they have those delicate little dusters and it takes like months and months and months to extract one piece there's no way they're just gonna throw it up there and be like here you go so then have we lost I mean it ruins my experience at a museum now like
00:05:36
Speaker
What am I looking at? My question would be which pieces of this really exist? Yes. Wherever you got it. And which pieces did you fabricate to kind of make all this come together? To just fill in. Yes. Wow. This is definitely. That's fair. It's a fair question. I mean, I think, you know. Next time you go to a museum that says they have fossils or something,
00:06:00
Speaker
I mean, I guess maybe it's specific to dinosaurs, but see if there is a the constitution. Right, but those- We know where the real one is. Yes, yes,
The Quirky Side of Museums
00:06:11
Speaker
yes. And to your point, yeah, those things are well preserved. Or the Declaration of Independence, excuse me. We know where that is. There's not like a- Don't pretend like you know really where it is. Oh, I thought this was, no, I don't. Right. I thought this was the real one. But it's not just behind a rope sitting on the table. Right, in the sunshine, yeah. Here's my question, what are you gonna do to that dinosaur? You're like, I could totally touch that.
00:06:33
Speaker
All right, what are you gonna do to it? You're not gonna take it off. I wouldn't. I'm like super glued together. Well, these little five-year-old could run over. You know what I mean? If all you're talking is a rope, five-year-olds are fine. What's that? They're just gonna touch it. Like a brick it. And if it's a million-year-old dinosaur fossil, you don't want anybody getting near it. You just spent the better part of a year getting that bad boy out of the ground. And now you're gonna let somebody's rogue kid come over. Paid what about tax money, by the way?
00:07:03
Speaker
If you've ever been to a well-traveled trail, hiking trail, whatever, rocks and trees, they develop sort of this weird like smoothness from the number of people that have touched the surface over and over again. So you would run the risk of that type of damage happening in a high traffic area. So I mean, I hate to call out national museums here, but but I mean, they're awesome. You can learn. You can definitely still go there and learn and be an all and kids and everybody will just be like, Oh man, that that's awesome. And dinosaurs are the guy for sure believe they existed. But if anything, my question would be structurally, did, did they exist? How we're depicting them.
00:07:47
Speaker
And Scott, you remember when we went to the, uh, aquarium in Atlanta and you were like, Is that really a tiger shark in there or is it a robot just swimming around? I mean, you don't know. I think that. And also our birds, robots sent by the government pigeons are pigeons real or they government spies. So maybe Captain America would know.
00:08:14
Speaker
ah
00:08:17
Speaker
Tony Stark don't know. I can tell you that he doesn't care. He's like, you guys do whatever you want. I don't care anymore. Now what I haven't done, I haven't Googled just to, I, I, no doubt Google would tell you a lot about, well, where are the fossils really? But I know, I mean, I know what I read on those plaques and it did say, Hey, a lot of this stuff is molds made from real fossils. Well, you've seen Indiana Jones. There's a giant warehouse heck yeah stack boxes.
00:08:46
Speaker
That's how it is in the real world. They just have stack boxes. There's a refrigerator down there too, if you need to hop in. Or like, ah not in the museum, you know, where they just got big crates. And they come to life? Chuck, next time you are in Atlanta. I've never come back, but okay. you've got But you should come back for this. The Big Fit Museum. You would love it in North Georgia.
00:09:14
Speaker
But is it the real one or is it a mold? It's run by a group of people. who are actively searching for Bigfoot. This museum is a compilation of all of their evidence that they have collected over the years and that other people have collected over over the years. It is on display, but there is a rogue corner of this museum, which is essentially like a one-story home that's been like converted into this museum. right It's the campiest thing in the world.
00:09:45
Speaker
and they have a lab, air quotes. Back in the corner, it's roped off. Please don't touch. There's a refrigerator and a desk. And that is where they're evidence that they are currently testing to look for big quits. So it's an active lab. It's so great. Active lab. Right. Oh, it's absolutely fantastic. How much it costs to go in there?
00:10:11
Speaker
Oh, like five bucks. Oh, look at the evidence. We have a Bigfoot and it's a big footprint. It's so great. It's in some fur. We went in the, we went in the, uh, the Bible museum. That's a new one. I mean, it's new, one of the new museums up there and it's not as big as the other ones, so but even in there, I was like, Oh, wait a minute. This isn't the real.
00:10:37
Speaker
one of the part of the Dead Sea Scrolls or something they will they'll say this is a replica of and the real one is in the Louvre you know in Europe or and i'm like okay that's still okay i'm looking at a replica i mean i i want to see the real thing now they have some real things there but you can tell right away because you can't get near it you can't hover over it and it's way over there and it's dark and you know Anyway, I don't want to ruin museums for anybody out there. I feel like museums are going to be on your case now. They're coming after me. Oh, I can take it. There is a windowless van parked outside your house. I can take
Historical Artifacts: Authentic or Not?
00:11:18
Speaker
it. So you're saying that in the Heron Space Museum in DC, that that's not really Amelia Earhart's plane? That's what you're telling me? Hanging from the ceiling?
00:11:30
Speaker
You telling me I saw the real thing? Could you? OK, I haven't been there a long time, but if that's they would not have the real one hanging. Well, it's I've been a little sarcastic. They haven't found you make a good point. A lot of. Oh, right.
00:11:45
Speaker
obviously it's not in the real one that thing is perfectly intact but there are no doubt a lot of that stuff in there and doesn't mean you still can't learn from it and be yeah but i think you're you're crushing what museums are like museums are sitting listening to this like dude you're defeating the purpose the purpose is to educate and learn yes that's what i'm saying you can still do all that now if you want to go see the real thing i want to see the real thing i mean what is it that you want to see what is it really is it a dinosaurs No, not really. i I would love to see that Rosetta Stone thing. okay there was I think that's in Europe or the museum in London.
00:12:27
Speaker
Uh, things like that, but I did see scrolls. You want to see, it would just be cool to say, no, no, I was right there in the same room where, where it is. And, or seeing the declaration independence, like I've saw that and I'm like, Oh, that's, I mean, it's really right there. You can actually even a small, you can, but even a small part of me was like, I don't know if that's really it.
00:12:49
Speaker
Well, yeah, now you're questioning. So it's the mix between reality that's kind of got you intrigued. Is that it or not? Yes. Has that really been Franklin's fight order? I mean, they could set a mood and make you go... The last one we went to, we saw the flag that they flew, that they wrote the Star Spangled Banner. That flag that he saw that was on the ship when he wrote that song, they have that in the museum. And you go in this humongous room,
00:13:16
Speaker
But it's super dark and the flag is like hanging. I mean, it's huge. And it's just it's very overwhelming when you see it. And you're like, OK, that's got to be real, because look at the care that they have taken to make sure it's not getting sunlight and.
00:13:35
Speaker
Wow. But then it's always a small party. Okay, well then, go ahead, Shawna, you had something to say. Well, I'm just thinking how transparent, you know, yeah, of course they want the pomp and circumstance, right? But if you actually start asking... You start disappearing.
00:13:53
Speaker
Well, I was actually thinking the other way around. It may actually not be that hard to find out once you saw. I don't think it would be. Yeah. like There's probably a level of transparency that's there. It's just most people are probably not thinking, oh my gosh, I wonder if this is real because they're caught up in the moment of like, oh yeah, in front of this giant dinosaur, you know, whatever. It's a classic Leo characteristic. Like I'm in a question. You're going to challenge things. Leo is going to challenge. You're going to take the lead on this. Yeah.
00:14:20
Speaker
All right. Well, then let me ask you this. What are your thoughts on the fact that, um, and tell me if you're familiar with this. Jackie Kennedy. Her pink suit. You know her as Jackie. That's impressive. Jackie Kennedy. That's what Jackie. Jacqueline Kennedy. I'm sorry. Jacqueline. You're not really allowed to drill me about Jackie. and Okay. Jacqueline Kennedy. Her pink suit that she wore. Iconic. Yeah. Is it really?
00:14:51
Speaker
No. Go ahead. Is it real? Is it the real one? They have the real one and they have it stored and they've, you know, they're conserving it, but they won't release it to the public until 2,103 the year. Is that how we'll say that in the year? Or it would be 2,103? Doesn't matter. 2,103. 2,103? Well, we don't know. We're not there yet. I'll let you know. Okay, thank you.
00:15:21
Speaker
2103 at the earliest to avoid in any way dishonor the memory of the late president or cause unnecessary grief or suffering to members of his family. What do you, what what are you saying? What's the, you think that's a conspiracy? that No, I don't think it's a conspiracy. I just think like, what are your, what do you think about that? I mean, they're like, we have this, but we don't want you to wait until 2103 and then we'll show it not 2100.
00:15:51
Speaker
Yeah, what's the new year? What is it? later That's 150 years after it happened to that. there That's that's when we'll. Would be associated, but there will be family. Yeah, but like how shook up are people are her family? Right? Can we just ask? Hey, are you guys good? Because maybe there won't be any people that are living that were like his horn when it happened. Well, definitely not by then.
00:16:19
Speaker
um Is it that sensitive? Is his like, is his brain on it? I mean, what it's just bloody, assuming. Well, but I mean, it was. I mean, it's a very, very big moment in history. Probably very likely brain matter could be. It's so funny you bring that up, though. Is it into a museum? Went into a museum in Detroit. OK, they have the car.
00:16:47
Speaker
that he was shot in in there um took a new air quotes you don't think him now and now you're skeptics in the delaytroit like the ford museum that checks out oh okay yeah and I took pictures of and everything oh but it wasn't until ah went to the Museum of Smithsonian. I'm like, maybe that wasn't the real car. I got really close to that car. Okay. Did you look it up? Let me ask you this though. I haven't. What made you say, oh, that's the real car? Because it was a sign that said it was, and in the moment I was enthralled. I was like, this is the car that he was in when he got shot. Oh. I mean, that might be legit.
00:17:34
Speaker
So you have no reason to be skeptical other than the dinosaur bones weren't? Well, but now I think I'm a little skeptical on that one now. Of every museum. It is in the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan. is so ah Is there brain in it? I didn't see any, but I took a lot of brain matter to be involved was there pick a lot of pictures of the back. Did they wash it or was there
Amish Perspectives on Modernity
00:17:59
Speaker
blood? And there really was just a rope around it. I mean, it Ignore my question. Well, I didn't see any brain. No, would you see blood? Was there blood or it's a black car? It's really hard. How's the upholstery? um But also a car is not going to deteriorate the same way a bone would. Right. I just feel like it could be evidentiary. Museums aren't ignorant. They're not sitting around like you think you think that thing's going to rot.
00:18:29
Speaker
Like, should we do something or? I think they figured it out. I think they're like, no, no, no, we've we covered that. We put some, you know, put some stuff on it. It's good. We sprayed it. but Like you go in some places and you see like old trains and I love going in the museum. I love a good museum. That's something you went to a place and saw an old train. There's a train museum in the, uh,
00:18:58
Speaker
And that Ford museum, they have a lot of old trains in there. There's a train museum, like 30 minutes from where we are in Atlanta. It's a good one. Wow. Why didn't you tell me about that? I'll put together a list for you my friend what what do you in and Can I, can I just say, what do you think the Amish think about museums? Do you think they ever go into museums and like, or are they just the Amish? Yeah. What if they're neutral?
00:19:25
Speaker
but Did they ever go in a museum and be like, no, I don't think they go to museums. So so mean is a lot of ranges of. So history is irrelevant to them. Or do they have their own museums?
00:19:38
Speaker
I don't, and I just don't think deep through the Amish go. I was Amish. You know, I, and they are history. I mean, they're, they can't let it go. They are history in years. We're going to be talking about them. Like he remember these guys. They were still, they snuck reds. Yeah. They were building barns and they were like, Oh, well that light bulb thing. Um, okay. But, but speaking of Amish, they, do they know? So when I was in Amish country,
00:20:06
Speaker
As a child, i was I was on a vacation and we stayed in this. um Sounds like an exciting vacation. Oh, what was the town? ah What's the town? Lancaster. Yep, that's it. Pennsylvania. We stayed in the... For everybody who's listened, there's a lot of Amish people in a lot of other parts of the world. They're not in the world, but in the country. They're not just in Lancaster. Okay, but that's what Lancaster's called. That's what everybody knows. yeah okay Yes. Okay. And I was there and I was staying... I'm pretty sure it's called the Red Caboose Hotel or Motel. And you stayed in cabooses
00:20:42
Speaker
You calling that? Is that the plural of caboose? Or is it just caboose? I have multiple caboose. Caboose-y. Caboose-y. Caboose-y. So there were some caboose-y. Jello caboose. And we you know, you so you stay in one and it's cool and whatever. And while we were there, there was a tornado warning. And we were in like the main caboose. It was like the restaurant one. and But the caboose is only at the end.
00:21:13
Speaker
I know they have multiple lined up. Was it a real caboose? Or a real caboose? It's a tornado warning. It's a tornado warning and we're sitting in the restaurant and I'm freaking out because I'm a kid. I'm like, oh my gosh, what? This is where the chicken ran. It was freaky. And we're looking out the window and there's an Amish guy plowing the field. And I'm like, he has no idea right now. He's just living with, he's like, no, it ain't raining yet. I'm out here plowing.
00:21:41
Speaker
and i'm thinking see when it comes who's goingnna tell him hey bro you might want to get in your bath to you might you might be in trouble tu is like his bathtub's just an old barrel We might want to get in it, brother, because they're coming. But honestly, I think the arm is drawn to something there. Heck yeah. How many times have we been under a hurricane warning even recently? For nothing. And if somebody had said something was going on, we'd have been like, well, it's raining. No. We would have moved on. Yes. No. Yes. No. I'm not going to let you guys. Think of the things that you miss out on because you take direction from the government or somebody else. Because you let channel two dictate. Yeah. Oh, I'm not going to let you guys do this. When our weather is going to snow, six inches. Don't go outside. We've lost our survival instinct. Everybody shut up. navigat right Everybody shut up. There are real disasters that really happen and really destroy places. And I just I yeah and you've experienced one. Totally. OK. You would not have known.
00:22:44
Speaker
And I think a little bit of like warning, Hey, you guys really need to prepare saves lives. Absolutely. Okay. Then what are you arguing here that we're just like, that's one of probably you could name that probably literally thousands that never came to fruition. And so the risk reward is man, I've missed out on.
00:23:06
Speaker
incredible opportunities of doing whatever it may be. And and even them, they can't afford to not be out there in the field. I mean, that's what they know how to watch the weather, too, in ways that we don't. I think they got that rock on the string that says it's wet. It's raining. It's real, though. If you backpack or camp, you know, not the rock in the string, not the rock. And that is real yeah like the albino. gro But you're right. You're right, Sean. And you're right.
00:23:35
Speaker
The way that the air smells changes before the rain. Yeah, just ask any dad, any suburban dad that will be staying out there. I can tell you anytime it's about rain. There's a storm coming. And we probably needed it. We needed this rain. We needed it. It's good. Get in the house, Jim! No, it's fine. It ain't coming hard yet. It's still good. Who doesn't like to watch a good storm come in?
00:23:59
Speaker
Oh, I would love to live out in the flat plains, not because I don't want to experience tornadoes or anything, but to look off in the far distance and see rain. I love that. Well, I'll just say that the to his credit, that once it started, you know, the rain started picking up a little bit, he, you know, packed the mule and said, all right, we're going to head out of here. And he was probably. fine Yep. But but my concern is if the tornado actually, you know, rolled around to where we were at.
00:24:30
Speaker
You know, he's just standing out on his porch watching rain. All of a sudden he sees this, you know. But a tornado doesn't look like, again, there's signs. You can tell when tornado weather is happening. that by look No, no, no. You're like, hey, it's thunderstorm. Right. let me let me But if you don't have any reason to think that there's a tornado, you're not looking at the sky like, do you see one? No, I think.
00:24:54
Speaker
But there are when you get really dark and gloomy and light and it turns green. It turns green. You just think it turns green. OK,
Weather Warnings: Fact or Fiction?
00:25:03
Speaker
so it's dark. It's it's 1 a.m. You're not going to be outside anyway. Right. It's 1 a.m. It's storming, really hard rain, wind, thunder, lightning. You aren't going to see a tornado. No, but I'm already inside kind of hunkered down because I'm like,
00:25:22
Speaker
It's getting real outside. I would argue too, if you're a way to observe the weather is based off of your own observational skills and not your app or your TV, you're going to have sort of this established level of alertness anyways. That applies to all news. A lot of fake news out there, Scott. I don't know if you've ever heard that term before. hes like ah Yeah, I the weather is my observational skills. I'm probably going to sleep a little lighter. I'm going to be him better. They would be. No, I can't stand when weather's coming. It might. These weather channels eat this up because they know people are going to watch if they put the red banner across the bottom. Weather warning, flood warning. You think they're out for just views? Oh, 100 percent.
00:26:09
Speaker
There's literally an entire example dedicated to the weather. They know people will tune in if the weather's coming. That's why they love it when it mites snow around here. Okay, so what we're concluding here is that if you ignore the news and the weather channel and you just use your observational skills to understand the weather, that they will be inherently better. Yes.
00:26:34
Speaker
and you will know. ah generation you but Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You'll be able to say, nah, I don't think it's going to be that bad. I can just tell. Yes. No. I don't know if you'll know better. I mean, technology certainly tells you forecast of weather, but day to day.
00:26:53
Speaker
Yes. I don't necessarily need anybody to tell me what's going on. I'll go inside. I'll, I'll change. I mean, I can, I can. What if you need to evacuate?
00:27:07
Speaker
Those are the one in the millions. Okay. How are you hearing about them? Cause you're sitting there like, wow I'm going to be outside already. And I've been outside for two weeks. It's too late brother. week No, no, no. The last week I saw the little Creek back there raised up a foot. So I'm like, okay, I'm on alert tomorrow morning.
00:27:25
Speaker
Okay. Now it's in the backyard. Okay. But also for the Amish, there has to be some sort of like, they're not, they don't have TVs, but they're not like cut off from the world. Wait a minute. Wait my dollar are adam if something yeah is wait a minute. on the road. baily Hey man, you need to get that mule side. The Amish aren't running from hurricanes anyways, because geographically they're out in the Midwest. Right. I was going to say the Amish are not, they haven't been wiped out yet, Scott. So I don't know why you're still concerned about them. I don't know how often they're evacuating. They probably have in-ground shelters, truly, for trail season. Oh, what a great point. They are already, they're more prepared than we are. They know. They'd be knowing. Yeah, they're ready. Hey Martha, lot of lighting out there, opening up the basement, fetch me a cup of coffee.
00:28:14
Speaker
Where's Dorothy? Don't worry, we don't have time for Dorothy. Get the kids in the cellar. We need Dorothy. We forgot about Dorothy. That should be fine. They're fine. They they have plans. They know. I want to go back. and And just say that Chuck said that he's gonna know a week ahead because he saw that river was a little that Creek was a move scott about a foot higher That's a little close kept me deep there. It's a real story there. You know, I lived on a river and you have a lot of lost my house Appreciate you bringing that up, but you knew we promised I wasn't gonna cry on this god Yeah

What does it matter if you're smarter than the other ones? Plow the fields, that's all you need. You're the project manager if you're smarter than everyone else. how did you tell other people how to build Who determines who's the smartest of the crew? It becomes very obvious. They're not Neanderthals. I mean, we know. Over the flies, they just start killing each other. I'm smartest. No, I'm the leader. Now I'm the leader because you're dead.

00:31:46
Speaker
But there's some Stephen King in this stuff. her You would not think he could write something that potentially is historical. That's the only reason I never read it, because I thought, wait a minute, it's like a history book. It's not just coming after him. Did you seem think he could be historical, but he's got it at him.
00:32:10
Speaker
He can do a lot of- It's really good. I got his book that he wrote about writing, which I'm super excited to read. I have it. I haven't read it. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I started reading it. It's in my stack of books sitting on my nice hand to be read. Scott, what's in your stack of books to read? The dictionary. That's a good one. As the great Eminem taught me, it can take you places.
00:32:38
Speaker
Okay. I don't remember that line. You haven't heard the rumor that Eminem read the dictionary? That was his reading period. Because he's a wordsmith. Oh. Is this like the polar bear joke? I don't know if it's real. Polar bear is real. OK. He's an albino polar bear, grizzly bear. And they were like, see, get him home. We need to take him home. When you first said the about albino polar bear. I was like, no, no, no, he's telling that joke and he's already messed it up. yeah
