| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Sci Guys, the show where we talk about the crazy, weird and wonderful stories from the science world. |
| 0:13.5 | I'm Corey, and as always, I'm joined by my co-host, the laughing look cut for a... |
| 0:18.7 | Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. laughing, Luke Cutforth. This week, we're talking about a mad millionaire and a suspicious submersible. |
| 0:35.6 | But first, we have a wee review. What's the we review? It's five stars, it says solid pod. Love the way they treat the |

| 1:21.2 | Seriously, look, the Titanic sank like less than 150 years ago. |
| 1:22.5 | Have some respect, please. |
| 1:23.2 | My apologies. |
| 1:24.9 | So, what are we talking about today? |
| 1:26.3 | Well, you know what we're talking about today. People went down in a submersible to have a look at the Titanic or pretend they were having a look at the Titanic. |
| 1:32.9 | And it didn't go very well. |
| 1:35.8 | Let's get into why that was. |
