That's right. Another listener request. These are just kind of pouring in now. Or rather, we're leaning on them more than we have before, I guess. Because they're great ideas. But this one came also from the live show in Atlanta. Yeah. And do you remember this guy? Do you remember his name?
Tugboats for Thomas. And Thomas, I believe, works on tugboats, suggested it. And this has turned out to be just a bread and butter stuff you should know episode.
He's bumping into people. They're like, dude.
That's right, because we're going to sing the unsung like we like to do on the show because no one ever thinks about tugboats. You see them all the time. If you live near a harbor or vacation or visit cities that have harbors, you see those tugboats and those big ships and barges get all the... All the sexy headlines. But those tugboats are doing the yeoman's work.
That's why they call them nautical laborers early in their, I guess, mission when they first started coming online on sea.
Yeah, I mean, not to undersell tugboats. They are dealing with things that are floating in water, which helps. But these are big, massive things floating in water. Like you could get in a lake, my friend, and you could pull a rope attached to a pontoon boat. What? And you could pull that thing around a little bit. You could swim that thing around a little bit because it's floating in water.
What universe do you live in? That may be where you max out. You are the tugboat of the lake, Josh, if you can do that to a pontoon boat, because these tugboats are little compared to these huge barges that are floating around. Is that making any sense at all?
That's up to you.
That'd be better swimming with two arms.
We should tell them what bollard pull is, too, because that's the other big sort of measurement when it comes to tugging and pushing. A bollard, first of all, is that big sort of chunky thing on a dock that you'll tie a boat to, the big daddies. And bollard pull is the total amount of towing force generated by a tugboat. And they measure that in kilonewtons.
I think they're very attractive boats. You can tell a tugboat because it has, you know, they're built to tug and push. So they have a very wide beam, which is the widest point of the boat. They sit very low in the water, which is called a deep draft. And, you know, they're little short, stubby, wide guys that sit really low. I think they're adorable and cool looking. They're very, very stable.
They're not tippy at all when, you know, they're bumping against other things. They're pushing other things. And so they have to be just super stable and also love that they have beards. That front bumper or a bow fender, they call it a beard in that lingo. And I think that's pretty great.
Yeah, I think those are additional. I think the front always has a built-in beard.
Yeah, exactly. And I say we take an earlier break. Oh, my gosh. Because we're at a great spot to break here before we talk about the history of these things. You want to do that? Let's break it. All right. Let's break on three.
