Additional background material on this episode is available for Patrons.
Jeb and Blake wade into the first episode of season 4 of In Search Of... to learn a thing or two about tsunamis. (Yes, the producers actually said that they called it "tidal waves" because if they'd used "tsunami" Americans wouldn't have bothered to find out what it was about. I remember being taught the "new" term during my basic education. -B)
Lots of good footage, interviews, reenactments, and science in this one!
Nimoy Fashion - Henley Shirt (we assume he's wearing pants below the cut?)
To me, it looked like an AARP-style drug ad.
The J.K.K. Look Laboratory (in honor of Mr. James K. K. Look - who's death in pursuit of scientific data is honored in the naming)
There is shockingly little about Mr. Look on the net and he certainly seems like he deserves at least a Wikipedia page.
Hokusai's famous "wave" - and yes, he really did pioneer "tentacle porn," but I'm not linking to it - nor judging.
This is only a simulation. If this had been an actual podcast, this guy would have tried to sell you some Bombas Socks or a subscription to Wondrium.
