Like liver, like failing. Your liver failing. Did you puke? No, it's not my stomach. We've been fishing hard for almost five straight weeks now, and I woke up this morning with an excruciating pain in my side. Um, it feels like when my appendix burst. I can hardly stand up. I think I need to go to the hospital.

Man, Jud, you seriously want to go to the hospital? Like seriously, go to the hospital? Like, is that like a serious thing? I can't. Like, talk. Are you good enough where we can drive you there?

I just know my organs aren't supposed to feel like this. I look at Drake and I can tell that he's not right. I want to keep fishing, but at the same time, I don't want to see Drake get seriously ill on the boat. It's my responsibility as Captain to make sure he's healthy. I don't have a choice right now. I guess I got to cut this trip short and take Drake in. Rather be safe than sorry.

Get him in. I don't want to see him get sick out here. Get him some medical attention. I don't know what this is going to mean for the rest of my season. One thing's for sure: everybody else is still out catching fish, and now we get Drake taken care of. Hopefully, Drake's better in a couple of days or so, or whatever, and we'll get back out fishing. If I got any hopes of catching them, I better figure something out fast.

Later, Drake.

How Does A Slinky Fall?

[Applause] [Music] Now, at some point growing up, most of us have been captivated by one of these: a slinky. But recently, I found out one of the most mesmerizing things about how it moves is something I’d never seen before: how it falls. So what’s so s…

Moving Illusions

Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. This is a completely still image, but as your eye reads what I’m saying and jumps from word to word, the paragraph will appear to slightly, just subtly, wave and boil. The allusion is called anomalous motion. It’s neat. But to …
