Thinker.
Margaret DavisGUEST
5:07
The thinker.
Margaret DavisGUEST
5:08
I believe I've seen pictures of that.
Margaret DavisGUEST
5:10
Isn't that the one that shows a man with no shirt on, sitting with his fist under his chin, watching television?
Connie BrooksHOST
5:21
Well, it isn't quite that modern, Mrs. Davis.
Connie BrooksHOST
5:24
Rodin completed the thinker before Pinky Lee was even invented.
Connie BrooksHOST
5:29
Anyhow, I called the art gallery for Mr. Conklin yesterday and ordered the statue.
Connie BrooksHOST
5:33
Should be delivered this morning.
AmandaHOST
12:31
[laughs]
GeorgeHOST
12:31
Because that's The Thinker-
AmandaHOST
12:33
Yes
GeorgeHOST
12:33
... by Rodin, who is French and much closer than 2,400 years ago.
AmandaHOST
13:56
Yeah, this one took me a little while to kind of, uh, narrow down.
AmandaHOST
14:01
Um, and I had to do that in a couple of different ways.
AmandaHOST
14:05
Uh, obviously, you know, when you think famous sculptures, things like The Thinker or the Statue of Liberty come to mind, and clearly-
GeorgeHOST
14:11
Mm-hmm
BrendanHOST
12:06
What's his name in that?
JuanHOST

The Thinker.
JuanHOST
12:08
The Thinker?
BrendanHOST
12:08
The Thinker.
BrendanHOST
12:11
The Thinker.
BrendanHOST
12:12
Whatever, whatever.
BrendanHOST
12:13
Okay, anyways.
BrendanHOST
12:33
You're looking up who Tim Blake Nelson plays in.
Caleb PittsHOST
75:57
life.
Caleb PittsHOST
75:58
The thinker originally, they actually chiseled it off because nobody liked looking at it, but there was like a 700-pound guy who had his arm around him as part of the statue.
Caleb PittsHOST
76:06
Yeah, let's go ahead and just...
Caleb PittsHOST
76:08
Oh, wow.
Caleb PittsHOST
76:08
Look at this amazing statue.
CameronHOST
76:09
First, get rid of that extra.
CameronHOST
76:11
He was called the Thinker's brother.
CameronHOST
76:12
He was a fat guy.
JossHOST
40:36
Yeah.
MoniqueHOST
40:37
Another one we discovered is the thinker.
MoniqueHOST
40:41
The statue.
MoniqueHOST
40:41
Yeah.
MoniqueHOST
40:42
The sculpture.
MoniqueHOST
40:43
The thinker.
MoniqueHOST
40:44
Does he have his hand under his chin or like resting his forehead on his fist?
JossHOST
40:53
Right.
Griffin McElroyHOST
6:03
Is it when you put your hand on your thing like this, like you're thinking? That's Rodin.
Griffin McElroyHOST
6:07
That's The Thinker by Rodin.
Rachel McElroyHOST

who?

52:31
His gaze moved from the student to Hanako and stayed there for a while.
speaker_5NARRATOR
52:36
The student saluted and grasped the right hand Rodin offered, the hand on which each sinew stood on the surface, the hand that had created La Danaide, Le Baiser, and Le Penseur.
speaker_5NARRATOR
52:50
And taking out a card on which Kubota M.P. was written, he delivered it to Rodin.
speaker_5NARRATOR
52:58
Rodin glanced at the card and said, Are you working at l'Institut Pasteur? Yes, sir.
R.C. SproulSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
8:31
This is probably one of the most recognizable pieces of sculpture in all of Western civilization.
R.C. SproulSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
8:39
Rodin's what? The Thinker.
R.C. SproulSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
8:44
The Thinker.
R.C. SproulSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
8:44
Now, we're glad to have the Thinker with us because he's going to help us as we seek to establish the structures of a worldview.
R.C. SproulSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
8:53
Now, the first thing I observe about this gentleman, who's our guest, is his name.
R.C. SproulSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
8:59
He is called The Thinker.
R.C. SproulSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
9:04
I think that had he been sculpted in the last fifteen or twenty years, perhaps he would be known by a different name or a different title.
R.C. SproulSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
9:13
If a modern sculptor created this piece of art, then I think that they would probably call him the Feeler, because in our modern world, we don't think anymore.
FrankHOST
11:43
Whoever has played Rich's clips or whatever the hell today, it's v- probably very strange that there's this third wheel.
FrankHOST
11:49
I'm, I wouldn't be surprised if some people crop me out just 'cause I'm just sitting there, you know? Jeremy Ryan Slate sent me a picture of the, uh, whatchama call, Rodin's, uh, The Thinker.
FrankHOST
12:02
That's what I was, sitting there listening, [laughs] not saying a damn word.
FrankHOST
12:07
So whatever.

Lauren NeidighGUEST
34:16
Well, this comes back to them trying to stalk his now wife and try to connect the dots to make it seem like they knew each other before.
Lauren NeidighGUEST
34:23
Um, they are calling him Chris Watts 2.0, and dozens and hundreds of women all over are saying, "There's nothing more dangerous than a man who wants to, a new start or a new life," and it's, it's sick because there's nothing that ever indicated that.
Lauren NeidighGUEST
34:36
Uh, and they think that he and his wife and his best friend, you know, conspired to do this and so they could get the kids out of the picture and, and they say, "Oh, it's, it's a miracle Lindsay survived.
Lauren NeidighGUEST
34:49
She wasn't supposed to," and that's obviously not true if you listen to what actually happened, uh, and the testimony and, and the people who heard the 911 call.
