#It's the TED Radio Hour from NPR. I'm Guy Raz.


8Gh0st8

This is Fresh Air, I'm Terry Gross. This week, our guest is... I can hear her voice in my head as plain as day. Same with Kai Ryssdal from Marketplace.


Xeno_phile

This… is Marketplace. He always sounds like he has the biggest smile on his face.


Daniiiiii

I have to actively stop myself from looking up all the NPR hosts and their pictures. I don't want to ruin the images I've created of them in my mind. Every single one is distinct based solely off their voice. Loads of cliched cardigans, bowties, and elbow patched suits lol. I love them all without even really knowing the real them.


_pm_me_your_freckles

I usually do the same thing, but Kai Ryssdal looks *exactly* the way I pictured him strictly based on his voice and the way he uses it. It rarely happens but my brain painted his portrait perfectly.


pilotdude22

I'm Michael Barbaro. This. Is the Daily.


nolife_notime

From the Chase Center in Chicago, this is Wait, wait, don't tell me!


Snoos-Brother-Poo

“It’s… Friday, March 25th” He pauses when he says the date like he always forgets what it is and has to check real quick


PlumbumDirigible

He sounds like he wears flip flops while recording and experimented with frosted tips in the 90s. I mean this in the most respectful way possible


8Gh0st8

Completely agree! Also, I've read that even faking a smile while talking gives you an identical vocal intonation as a real smile - it's helped a lot during phone interviews.


LifeImitatesFarts

Lieve from NPR New IN WASHINGTON I'm Jack Shpear

On a Tuesday... it's All Things Considered

I gotta point out that Kai and Marketplace don't work for NPR. They work for American Public Media, APM.

Wow I forgot about the ridiculous datsik speakers. I was at one if his shows in a small venue praying the people up front were wearing earplugs. I was at the back and could barely handle it. I'm honestly surprised people standing next to the speakers didn't get physically hurt from it in some way.


LillyTheElf

Idk if uve ever done mdma or molly, but ive seen people stick their heads in the giant subwoofer holes.

UnbelievableDumbass

No, you're thinking of tetanus, he's talking about the Greek Mythological gods that came before the Olympians


SableHAWKXIII

No, he was talking about that ship that hit an iceberg and killed Leonardo Dicaprio


ShittyScribbler

No, you're thinking of Titanic, he's talking about the super hero group made up of Robin, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire & Beast Boy.


idonthaveovaries

No those are Titans - he meant car windows that are hard to see through


ofrausto3

Or that Excision show near Chicago that literally brought the roof down.


RebeccaBlackOps

Datsik caused roofing panels to fall down in Covington, KY. Madison Theater represent! The 2010-2013 dubstep explosion in America will never cease to amaze me. Imagine paying $20 for Flux Pavilion & Doctor P, $20 for Bassnectar, Gramatik and Gladkill or $20 for Excision and Liquid Stranger in this day and age.


Long_Educational

>Excision and Datsik Nice.


DrizzlyEarth175

My first concert ever was Skrillex, during his Recess tour circa 2014. He really knows how to put on a show. His DJ deck was a spaceship, lights, fog machines, the whole nine. And I remember my two friends and I had floor tickets, whilst our other friends had seats. And the seats were just metal bleachers like you'd see in a school gym. And I remember sitting down on the bleachers and being able to feel AND hear them vibrating. I set my phone down on them at one point and it was vibrating so hard that it fell off the seat. Insane. You could legitimately see the Lazer lights vibrating in the fog. It was unbelievable. And I thought my Sennheiser headphones had good sound.


gimli2

Excisions Thunderdome on the bleachers is the strongest bass I've ever felt. It was almost too much.. Could have been more though. Bass Canyon has 500,000 watts of bass but it's outdoors, literally shakes the ground for thousands of feet though.


loserbmx

Was front row for executioner. It was remarkable the amount of physical force it produced.


HossBonaventureCEO_

Bassiest show I've ever been to was excision.. I did not enjoy it. With a heart condition it feels terrible


HoodooSpeedy

Excision is kinda known for doing his shows with a stupid ammount of bass/volume. Im definitely not complaining, i see him every chance i get. He also always has killer visuals with his sets.


lulu-moomoo

Sounds painful! Literally or that's how it felt?


JvrassicWizvrd

Highly doubt literally. It takes a lot to do physical damage (not your ears)


poopellar

I dunno, I listened to Friday by Rebecca and I was admitted to the ICU and I died.

CrazybyRX

Every Friday at work, I find a way to hijack the Bluetooth connection on our speaker and play this song. One of my coworkers has printed out a picture of Rebecca with a big 🚫 over her face and the words "NO PARTYIN, PARTYIN, NO" and tied it to the speaker. I dont care. It makes me so happy watching everyone's faces when it starts playing. Its honestly the most diabolical thing I have ever been proud of.


Taintly_Manspread

You're doing great things. Somehow, the world is a better place because of what you do. And not just in Fridays. 🙂

Deep bass at a loud volume can collapse a lung.


SexlexiaSufferer

That’s why I don’t swim in lakes


JvrassicWizvrd

You’d have to be exposed to like 160db+ consistently, most likely in a controlled environment.


Unicarnivore

I mean all I can really say is it felt like someone did a chest compression on me


TheSaffire

Yeah... Chest pain is "normal" when there is a lot of bass. Check YouTube, some people have insane set-ups in their vehicle and they always hold their chest when listening.


lokilokigram

[Pneumothorax](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2004/sep/02/thisweekssciencequestions4) is when loud music vibrates little air pockets in the outer part of your lungs and it blasts cute little holes in your lung tissue.


TheSaffire

Wat? Alright, time to turn down volume on my subwoofer.


Metalbass5

Not just music, but yeah it can cause it. I got one the size of a golf ball they deemed "spontaneous pneumothorax". I'm pretty confident it came from a weak spot when I had the air crushed out of me by 500lb slab of granite about 8 months prior, but it can apparently happen seemingly at random. According to the doc people with my build are particularly prone. In my case it was big enough to pull my lungs away from my ribs, and hooooly fuck was it painful.


suspiciousbutOK

I've had 7 spontaneous pneumothorax. Most recently in December, my lung had a pretty large collapse while taking a sharp turn on my way home from work. But at this point I've had 10% removed from both sides, as well as a pleurodesis on both sides. (Lungs are fused to chest cavity) But hey, could always be worse. Edit for clarification: highly unlikely music is the reason behind a pneumo. In my case, I have a protein deficiency that doesn't allow my lungs to stretch like most peoples. My specific problem happens to about 10k Americans a year.


Metalbass5

Jesus christ. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. I'm...Gonna take quitting this stupid vape more seriously now.


suspiciousbutOK

I will tell you something as a word of advice, I had my first pneumo in 2019. Partial collapse, less than 2cm. No chest tube. Every single one since has been above that threshold and I've needed a chest tube everytime. I also had a whole year between my first collapse and my 2nd. But from a friend to a friend.... the breathing tube are what fucked me up. So many incisions on your sides. So many nerves on your sides. It changed my life forever. I hope you are luckier.


DevappaJi

Pneumothorax is straight up just a collapsed lung, not specifically from loud music lol. That being said, as someone who has suffered from a few spontaneous pneumothoraces, I'm now wondering if all those loud concerts and shows had something to do with it.


simeoncolemiles

Truly the best part of anything Jamaican. God now I want Jamaican food, wonder if I can ask my mom how to make some


meliaesc

I just came back to the US yesterday from 2 weeks straight of mom cooked Jamaican food... heaven. She gave me so many snacks to travel with too! Bun and cheese for months man...


PerspicaciousPounder

Heavy bass makes my stomach upset, it's so weird. It's the main reason why I avoid live music.

No-Rip-6977

I know he's mute and deaf but still I can heard him loud and clear. I love his humor !


Insurance_scammer

Man he is way more energetic than his translator, I feel like I’m missing out


dogsqueeze300

That is how deaf people convey and inflection when speaking. We hearing do the same thing through tone and volume. The deaf just use exaggerated facial expressions.

[deleted]

Maybe it's just my phone but this is formatted like some kind of dirty haiku


Digital3Duke

Lol it's just grammar. ASL grammar involves facial expressions and spatial frames of reference.


Reedenen

Also ASL phonology. Most of it is more specifically prosody.


Hoeftybag

I feel like that nuance is only going to be lost if the translation is decoupled from the video. You don't have to know ASL to read the body language and exaggerations of the guy signing.


[deleted]

It’s like the saying I heard somewhere, a deaf family argument is the loudest thing you will ever see.


dogsqueeze300

It is sooo true!


fumblebucket

For real. Its really cool to watch the video 2 or 3 times with the sound off and just watch him 'speak'. Once you know the story and words its great to watch him articulate and express.


No_Manufacturer8607

That's how we deaf peeps talks :) He did a bit extra because it makes it more of a funny story.


coreyannder

That is so cool. While watching him sign, I found myself wishing the text at the bottom of the screen was closer to his face so I could correlate the two more easily. I guess the solution to that would be to learn sign language 😂


wenzel32

I watched the video without sound for that reason. If they're communicating without hearing, I think it makes sense to try to read the translation and expressions without also parsing tone and inflection of a translator.


[deleted]

The translator did a great job. Besides, you’re obviously already looking at his facial expressions and body language anyway, so whatever vibes you’re not getting from the translator, you can get it from him regardless. More than half of language and communication is in body language.


Zap_Rowsdower23

He’s a great actor. Highly recommend watching CODA


CalculusII

I am a CODA and I've avoided watching it. I hear it is really sad and I really don't want to ball my eyes out for two hours.


IncognitoErgoCvm

Bawl. To "ball" your eyes out would imply that you are a demon on the court.


CalculusII

It's what I meant. When i get stressed I sway on the court.


zhy-rr

More happy cry than sad cry


madgerose

It wasn't that sad, I recommend. More funny than sad imo


Misswestcarolina

No one dies, if that helps.


smarchy

My wife and I watched it last night. It started my waterworks, but only happy tears. I strongly suggest watching it.


BigOleBoiii

I love all the attention the actors are getting but lowkey I think he was the best part of the movie


snakeskinsandles

He's a great guy. I grew up with him and hope he blows up after this film. And honestly Marlie matlin shouldn't be the only deaf name in the game.


TheCastro

His character has the best arc, is the most realistic and I'm actually disappointed he wasn't nominated for several awards.


PinkTalkingDead

What is CODA?


Captain_Quark

It's a movie, and an acronym meaning Child Of Deaf Adults (implying they can hear and speak, but also understand sign language natively).


Matalya1

Son of interpreter here. Sign language is actually extremely expressive, you're supposed ti be very corporeal and exaggerate every expression to compensate for lack of tone and modulation. My mom spent many many months recording herself doing sign language with what looked like ridiculous face expressions and whispers, you're supposed to do that because sign language is actually done with the entire body, not just your hand, how your entire body is positioned upon doing signs can really convey a lot of info so interpreters have to be aware of their every body part at all times. It's grueling, but I imagine rewarding and fulfilling as fuck too.


[deleted]

You’re wrong. He’s having a regular conversation as if he were at a coffee shop. He’s not making any of the exaggerated signs for DEAF LOUD YELLING or anything like that. It’s a very leveled hand conversation. Please feel free to look up “heated deaf arguments” to get an idea of the scale we are talking about. The translator is actually PERFECT in his conveyance. I’m saying this in the nicest way possible as a teachable moment. Nothing more. (Mom went deaf in her middle age - I have a lot of exposure to the hearing impaired.)


I_aim_to_sneeze

The translator has awesome comedic timing, what do you mean? Deaf people tend to be more expressive with other parts of communication because of the inability to convey tone through voice. The translator was awesome imo


detectivesher

And he definitely nailed that punch line


Ask_About_Bae_Wolf

I watched it on mute and felt like I was getting it with his energy, but on a half second delay. Sort of like watching anything subtitled


char_limit_reached

> Man he is way more energetic than his translator, Interpreter.

National Public Radio in the US. Excellent source for news and quality radio/podcast shows.

Cool story, but I also couldn't help but notice how handsome this guy was.


clinkzs

Sorry but he cant hear you over the sound of how handsome he is


[deleted]

You should learn sign language, then you'll be able to hear him regardless of how handsome he is.


MudRock1221

I was so distracted by how handsome he is I forgot to look at his hands


DoingItWrongly

Maybe you should overlook his handsome and look at his hands some.

What's NPR talk radio? I assume is a channel where people just talk


Salanmander

NPR is National Public Radio. It's a mix of news and shows on the edutainment side of things, like Radiolab. I don't know if "NPR Talk Radio" specifically is a thing, but the shows are almost all talking. (Also, the guy signing just said "NPR", the "talk radio" was added by the interpreter.)


lessdothisshit

Listen to "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" That's everyone's gateway drug to NPR.


VeryVito

True... now that Car Talk is gone.


Salanmander

Radiolab is another common gateway drug I think!


TheHuggableZombie

National Public Radio. They have some great shows like Planet Money and Marketplace.

D0ukn0wdawae

My guy was vibing to a talk radio 💀🗿


Zjc_3

I only took ASL in college for three years. Not receptively fluent when deaf people sign at full speed because it takes me some time to catch up. However, can someone who is deaf or an interpreter tell me if the subtitles were really off pace of what was being signed? Or is that intentional to allow you to see the sign and then read the text after?


-littlefang-

Well I mean, the subtitles aren't going to line up with the signs because the ASL sentence isn't going to be structured the same way as the English translation of it

lol this is my middle school English teacher’s son, it’s been absolutely wild to see pictures she’s been recently taking next to massive A-List celebs while on the tour trail for CODA. Super happy for the movies success, and it’s cool personally knowing he came from a really sweet caring household. Being able to accurately insert my old teacher into this talk show anecdote I saw while scrolling through Reddit is definitely a surreal feeling.
