Busting Myths: Unraveling Brain, Food, and Health Misconceptions -- The Boys Chat #41
Ever wondered if you're only using 10% of your brain? Or if eating carrots can actually help you see in the dark? We're smashing these misconceptions to pieces and serving up the truth with a side of humor and fun facts. In this exploration of common myths surrounding the human brain, food, and health, we are your guides, keen to debunk, clarify, and enlighten! From the fascinating revelations about left and right brain functions that emerged from experiments with split-brain patients to the reassuring truth that knuckle cracking is arthritis-free, we rummage through neuroscience and physiology to bring the facts to light.
Then, we turn our attention to food and health myths that have long been part of popular culture. Do you believe in the infallibility of the "five-second rule"? Or that the phases of the moon can influence your behavior? Prepare to rethink! We also shed light on the origins of some of these beliefs, including how orange juice became a breakfast staple and the controversial "Chinese restaurant syndrome". To round off the episode, we also investigate whether a penny dropped from the Empire State Building could be fatal and debunk some myths about diabetes. For the curious minds, the skeptics, and the lovers of trivia, this episode is a treasure trove of fascinating insights and debunked myths. Tune in and join us!
Well, welcome back to the boys chat. You got Tanner, darren and Colby with you again. Let's just jump right into this one, this one we're going to go over myths, kind of debunking him a little bit Now. By any means, he might not be factual, there's might not be any science that proves it, but we are myth busting it.
Speaker 3:We're just, we're just going with what I found.
Speaker 2:We're myth discussing it.
Speaker 1:That's a better way of putting it Well. First, one which I feel like is very accurate. But humans only use 10% of their brains. This is a misconception. Brain imagery shows activity throughout the brain, which 10% is a lot, dude, I mean if I'm rocking with four.
Speaker 2:I was going to say put that in inches, Tanner, how about that?
Speaker 3:Shoo. Well, you can have activity throughout the whole brain, but not everything's maximum.
Speaker 2:But you only use 10% of the actual maximum power, though, right.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I feel like if you think about it, each section of the brain has different functions for it.
Speaker 2:Like I can't remember this from psychology, but the hippocampus uses memory because if you saw a hippo on campus, you'd remember it.
Speaker 3:The frontal lobe is decision-making.
Speaker 2:And in males it doesn't fully develop until they're almost 25. That's why we make dumb comments in dumb podcasts and that's why we have a podcast because we think we're experts and we think we're cool. Exactly.
Speaker 1:But I feel like there's types of stuff like that where it's Okay, yeah, it's only 10%, but you use different aspects of it. Maybe it's 10% at a time, I have no idea.
Speaker 2:Oh, and then the whole left brain, right brain thing.
Speaker 2:They've seen the study of the guy that had his brain split. So can't remember his name, can't remember exactly why he had to do it, but he lost the connection between the left and right side of his brain, because they do operate different things. The right side of the brain operates the left side of the body and vice versa. Anyway, something happened and his brain had to be pretty much cut in half to where there's no communication between the sides. So if they would cover or they'd bring an object in and he could only see it with his right eye or his left it was one of the two, because one of the brain's deals with speech.
Speaker 2:Not I say it, but it's like speech it's like taking it and computing it and then being able to speak it. It's like they'd bring an object, they'd cover one eye or they'd bring an object in where he could only view it with one of his eyes and he wasn't able to say what it was until he saw it with both eyes. And then he'd be like, oh, it's this, because his brain wasn't able to send the messages back and forth, to be like, no, it's an orange or it's whatever they put in front of him until he saw both like abstract artwork.
Speaker 2:But now the crazy thing, though, is he would come in. He couldn't say what it was, but he could draw it Because it was that part. I think that's right brain is creativity, or something. Left, left. What is everyone it is? He could then go down on a piece of paper and like draw what it was, and then he'd look at it and be like oh it's, I think it's this, because he's seeing it with both eyes, uh-huh, so he can label it.
Speaker 2:Cause, whatever side of the brain it was, it would remember what it was. But he couldn't say it. But he could. He could draw it.
Speaker 1:Super weird split brain Interesting.
Speaker 3:No idea.
Speaker 2:I'm not a.
Speaker 1:Is it Neuro?
Speaker 2:Neuroscientist. Neuroscientist, you know Andrew Huberman. No, you know a scientist.
Speaker 1:No, I'm not a scientist. I'm going to count, I'm clicking off.
Speaker 2:Can we talk about why you know the name of a?
Speaker 3:neuroscientist.
Speaker 2:Andrew Huberman is, like social media's most famous neuroscientist. Do you know?
Speaker 1:who it was, cause I didn't.
Speaker 3:This is your random trivia that, like your knowledge base, is so out in left field it's wild Star Wars. There's a lot of stuff that it makes sense while you know it. But then it's like left brain, right brain, split, like yeah, you saw documentary or like got caught in like a video and it was interesting, so you didn't click off and then I honestly want to back check him on that one to see if that's true or not.
Speaker 2:I learned about in psychology in high school.
Speaker 1:I'll go with it for now.
Speaker 2:I'm looking it up right now. Go to the next one.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna interrupt in a minute the next one is cracking knuckles causes arthritis. False, yeah, there's no scientific evidence that supports this claim. Knuckles cracking is harmless which?
Speaker 3:is it harmless, or is it the grinding of the joints?
Speaker 1:I feel like it's like grinding of the joints, but yeah my thumb, I can just pop. I can do that. I can. I don't know if it's a tendon or what, like my shoulder blade.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, sit there and move it and just pops I can, like I don't want to do it because then I start to do it on, voluntarily, you know but like the same thing, like I'm almost popping my shoulder like partially out right.
Speaker 1:Well, it's like my brother when he walks, his ankles just pop when he walks oh every every step he takes, it this pops.
Speaker 3:Yeah, jackie, anytime she wants to sneak up on someone, she does a squat first and her knees pop and then she can crouching like it goes to sneak up on it. But if not, this quadril give it away.
Speaker 2:I found a diagram. I'll see if I can read it. So experiments with split brain patients have helped to illuminate the latter I the latter eyes. Did nature brain function? Split brain patients have have undergone surgery to cut the corpus co awesome. The main bundle of Nura, near neural fibers connecting the two sides of the input from the left field of view is processed by the right hemisphere and vice versa right so you know whenever, anyways.
Speaker 2:So what happens right is a word is flashed briefly to the right field of view and the patient is asked what he saw. Pops up face. He says face because the less the left hemisphere is dominant for the verbal processing of the patient's answer matching the word. Now a word is flashed on the left view field of view and the patient is asked what he saw? Nothing, face. Pops up I didn't see anything. Because that side of the brain, the right side of the brain, doesn't work, doesn't compute, that the right hemisphere cannot share information with the left. So the patient is unable to say what he saw, but he can draw it not him binding.
Speaker 1:That like two seconds. Look at it.
Speaker 2:Tell me I'm wrong.
Speaker 1:Tell me I picture into the video now they can go look it up.
Speaker 2:They can go look it up, look up split brain syndrome effects.
Speaker 3:It's right there coming at me my knowledge. Sir, your bank of knowledge does not fit in a category see when people go hey, jenner go.
Speaker 2:Fun fact I'm like about what? You know I just got nothing off top my head. It's just gotta go. Huh, it's like jokes. He told me a joke. What do you call a dog no legs? Doesn't matter, he's not coming anyways.
Speaker 1:Well, it's like what do you call a cow that has no legs? Ground ground beef ground beef beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Anyways, let's, we'll just skip to this next one here. I keep touching everybody's feet. It's fine, I like it how you doing probably shoes on too, and I don't bummer. Anyways, I'm gonna skip to this one cuz I kind of find found this one interesting, cuz I feel like it's fairly true sugar causes hyperactivity in children true, miss saying that's false.
Speaker 1:I mean new numerous studies have shown non consistent links between sugar consumption and hyperactivity. But I did see and again, granted this was on tiktok. I will admit this was on social media. I am honest about that was about food that has red dye in it. Any red dye I've seen stuff like that causes like more like irritability and like bad behavior in kids, like if you remove that from their diet, like anything that has it like they do a lot better.
Speaker 1:And like soybean oil, same thing. Yeah, and with the red dye, the. I think it was a podcast. I don't know if it's real or not. Could be one of those fake ones, but I don't believe you they were saying that was that certain red dyes are actually banned in certain countries from me but not America.
Speaker 2:Not America worth free country freedom, marca. I think the sugar is like kind of dependent, you know right the quality of the sugar, because, like natural sugar is that you get from fruits are good for you, yeah, whereas like the artificial steve, o crap is, yeah but also like person-to-person, like caffeine affects me and Kara very different seed Darren, can you back up?
Speaker 3:yeah, would you mind hold on, stay back.
Speaker 2:You know your way around the caffeine intake.
Speaker 3:I get that yeah, and like part of that I think has to do with exposure is the word I was looking for like your exposure to it and everything. I've been drinking more of it. So like, obviously I'm more used to it. But also when I first started drinking caffeine, and Kara when she drinks caffeine on occasion honestly, I can't imagine Karen yeah, I get that.
Speaker 2:It also has to do with diet right, exercise level and size, because it's like you look at it. Like you know, you call someone a lightweight when it comes like alcoholic drinks.
Speaker 3:Where they take one is usually the bigger boys that are heavy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like the bigger you are, the less effect it has on you, because you're so big you're gonna wear it off and you know you're gonna get a hundred pound Britney and you know she's at a sorority party and she takes one sip and she's like hey boys, so yeah so I think sugar is the same thing.
Speaker 3:Just to tie that back in like yeah, I think it's.
Speaker 2:There's a lot more variables, I don't know what kind of test this was put through, but I have no idea. I think it also has to do with, like you eat too much sugar. It does give you cavities, and so parents are like don't eat too much sugar, because it's also bad for you if you eat too much of the crappy sugar right.
Speaker 3:I actually never had a cavity and I'll admit my teeth brushing habits as a child not fantastic?
Speaker 2:that's how mine, where I got one not too long ago like now, I'm religious about it.
Speaker 2:I'm like disgusted in myself yeah, ever since I started working where I work and seeing that if you don't take care of your teeth, it can get real bad I'm like, I'm okay, I don't want, I don't want to do with that, but I had a cavity like last year, and I'm over the age of 20 and I still go to like a children's dentist because I haven't found a new one, because I'm like, hey, they'll still take, they still take me, still works, let's go. The one awkward thing, though, was I did see someone there that was like an assistant that I went to high school with. I'm like, hey, we've been graduated for four years you know, but, I, did you?
Speaker 2:I don't want to be throwing names around, but yeah, um but anyways, I got a cavity in the docs.
Speaker 2:Like, oh, you got a cavity, yeah, we'll get you in next week. And I go back to work and I go talk to the dentist you know that I work with and like, oh, how is your baby dentist appointment? I got a cavity. I'm going back next week to get it filled. And you know everyone's making fun of me in the office. And I go back the next week and I go during my lunch and I come back. You know I'm like they're like, oh, hey, what's up? I'm like I can't really feel my lip. You know I just got my cavity filled. They're like, oh, the baby dentist, yeah, like they're like how old are you? Aren't you married now?
Speaker 2:I'm like yeah so back off, dude. Do you want to fill it?
Speaker 1:So I made him fill it, just for saying that.
Speaker 2:But, dude, I get dental anxiety now Really After cause, after so many patients. There's a lot of the reason why people don't take care of their teeth. They don't want to go to the dentist because it scares them, because they had a bad experience as a kid. And I'm sitting there never complaining about the dentist. But after hearing all this stuff about it and they're like you know, they numb my face up and they start drilling out the cavity. I'm sitting there, I'm like I can see why this is scary, because all of a sudden I like I don't feel it, but I hear the drill going and I feel my head vibrating and I can feel them moving around. Like I can get behind dental anxiety. This is actually kind of freak. I can feel them drilling into my skull. I'm actually like oh, wow.
Speaker 1:I'm like, I'm like, I'm aware of it, whereas a kid I was you know you plug it in.
Speaker 2:You're watching Nemo.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know, but the TV on the ceiling, since I'm not a kid, they were like a little more like get in there.
Speaker 2:Get it done rather than be graceful, right Anyway anyways let's go on to this next one here.
Speaker 1:Eating carrots improves vision? Nope. While carrots are nutritious, their high vitamin A content does not provide superhuman vision.
Speaker 2:Do you know where that came from?
Speaker 3:Scott thought poking carrots in his eyeballs would make his eyes better.
Speaker 2:Why does that not surprise me?
Speaker 3:Because he's dumb.
Speaker 2:I will go on the record and say that Do you guys know where that? Idea came from though the war one, the British had developed radar but didn't want the world to know. They didn't want, like the enemy, to realize that they had made this crazy thing because they were shooting down planes left and right, right, and they're like how are you doing this? They're like you know, in reality they're using radar, but they told the masses oh, our gunners eat a lot of carrots and improves their eyesight.
Speaker 1:I didn't know. That's where that come from. As much history as I know. I didn't know that tidbit, I'm like 95%.
Speaker 2:Sure that's real. You want another one about orange juice.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's a marketing ploy.
Speaker 1:Of course it is.
Speaker 2:Way back in the day, these guys, you know the orange sellers of the world or whatever. In America they weren't selling because no one wanted oranges, so they hired on one of the best marketers of the time and they said, okay, well, what we're going to do is, you know, they market it towards you need it in the morning. So for every bag of oranges you buy, you get a juicer, so you can make orange juice in the morning and have it with your breakfast, because it's a great nutritional way to start your day. They never drank orange juice in the morning before that, but now it's like you think orange juice, you think you know breakfast, you don't really think they did that right.
Speaker 3:I love orange juice yeah.
Speaker 2:But you don't. You don't think. Later in the day I'm going to drink a glass of orange juice with my pizza.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's not as common juice.
Speaker 1:I don't like it. It's all a marketing ploy.
Speaker 3:Apple juice. I love apple juice yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Everyone's always one or the other Great.
Speaker 2:Why do you guys feel?
Speaker 1:about grape juice. I hate grape juice. I love grapes. I love raisins, I hate grape juice.
Speaker 3:I just haven't had it in a long time, you know.
Speaker 1:See, I hate great flavored things, but I love grapes.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:Well, that's because the artificial flavor is so much different. Okay, what? Back to orange juice? Pulp or no pulp? No-transcript.
Speaker 1:Weirdo no pulp. The, the chunks, the little floaty, little floaty yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, gross. No, no way. See, I used to be no pulp and now I like, prefer it. I don't, I'm not like Where's?
Speaker 2:my pull.
Speaker 3:I like it better the can, though the can stuff is dangerous with Kara, cuz she's like oh juice, she just loves the taste of it and I'm like I need that caffeine.
Speaker 2:That's a real thing gross.
Speaker 1:Well, under this next one, five-second rule for food, like landing on that was real.
Speaker 2:It's as long as in five seconds to for bacteria to grow. Now, if you drop it in dirt or you drop it in someone's nasty hair or you drop it something gross, it takes longer than five seconds for back to. You can leave it on the ground for a minute and pick it up and you'll be fine. Just a little, a little dirt, ain't gonna hurt.
Speaker 3:I'm saying it's fine to eat food. Cool be saying it's instantaneous.
Speaker 2:Oh no, that's real.
Speaker 3:I'm saying it's real that you have a delayed time where you can scoop it up.
Speaker 2:Five seconds is way more than long enough 30 seconds a minute.
Speaker 1:I Fall on the ground. I finished what I'm doing. Then I grab it off the floor and throw it my mouth. I don't care, la gets so mad at me when I eat off.
Speaker 2:I do think it depends on what it is, because if you drop something that has the tendency to stick to things and you pick it up yeah, maybe I don't want it. It's just something small. Maybe I'll just toss this one.
Speaker 3:You think about your like, whatever floor you're at. You know right.
Speaker 2:And if you haven't cleaned it for a while, then it's like well, it's gonna get the grimy stuff. That's already there because it's gonna stick like hairs and dust and you pick it up You're like maybe not today.
Speaker 3:You're a little worried. Yeah, it's visible. If it's visible, that's a different, but if it picks up, but, but I think that's the line.
Speaker 2:That's the line it's visible, but it's another piece of food. Is this a good pairing Like?
Speaker 3:bread, crumbs or flakes.
Speaker 2:What's good crunchy outside now it's like funeral potatoes. Anyways, this was saying that it's instantaneous, which I could believe but I it depends on what is dropped in, what it is dropped into. That's fair enough.
Speaker 3:Oh gosh it kind of boils down to do you care are?
Speaker 1:you man enough.
Speaker 2:System. I crap off the floor. I'm gonna know K immune system.
Speaker 1:Shut up.
Speaker 2:I don't think it's because of that I don't get like the common cold and what I do it's just allergies. How?
Speaker 3:many times can you false, false, test positive for hep B before you finally believe that you have it?
Speaker 2:Three times, because I'm what to? Right now I'm at two strikes after the third. Then I'll be like, yeah, maybe, hey, doc, am I dying?
Speaker 1:All right, well, let's go, let's get with this one. So MSG causes Chinese restaurant syndrome syndrome. You know what Chinese restaurant Not?
Speaker 2:familiar.
Speaker 1:I've heard of MSG, but no just. Active like yeah, I had to look up what Chinese restaurant syndrome was. It's an illness marked by short attacks of weakness, numbness, palpitations, headaches, and often attributed to overconsumption of MSG, which I read that I'm like that's like any Symptom of like everything, so I don't know how that's like any food.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just get gas when I eat rice too fast because I swallow too much air. Yeah, that's got to come out.
Speaker 2:I just get gassy when I eat like Asian style foods, just because yeah thanks to any type of soy sauce Is he's a lot in Asian style cooking, so that just I See myself on the toilet.
Speaker 3:Yeah well, you know Kara's been expanding her like cooking profile Over the summer cuz she had nothing so it's just rice, it's noodles.
Speaker 2:Oh Quit, don't quit noodles.
Speaker 3:Oh, it's excellent, pretty good. So if you guys want some Chinese, come over sometime. That's like all we have it.
Speaker 2:Then some cats did. You guys know the Chinese take-out boxes you can break apart and open up in your plate.
Speaker 3:Or like the little never done it.
Speaker 1:Cups that you can get, like put ketchup.
Speaker 2:Oh you, can you break them open? Yeah, I also like you, flip it over and smash it and don't break it. You can use it as like a cap, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:See that one too, tick-tock.
Speaker 3:Flip it over and smash it, so like you take the paper cup.
Speaker 2:I was just turning over before you put anything in it flip it over and you smack it down and it the way it folds itself and it breaks open a little bit. It's big enough to fit over another one, another one, almost be like.
Speaker 3:I've pictured a full ketchup thing. Yeah, you just smash it and then you dip your fries in like the warzone splatter. I was like. Is this common.
Speaker 2:Hey man, when you go for the summer, man, wild things come up apparently.
Speaker 1:All right, well, let's hit, let's see what. 22, okay, sorry, I wasn't sure how much longer we had, so this next one swallow gum stays in your stomach for seven years.
Speaker 3:I Fall Skullbee yeah, I go through you just like pretty concerned how much these follow your gum.
Speaker 2:I've heard that before, but I'm pretty sure it's a.
Speaker 1:It just goes through you like normal food. It doesn't stick, it doesn't it just am I like corn, like Same deal.
Speaker 3:But I remember when I told my dad that he was like that's so stupid, it just gets digested with everything and I was like Does it know it like? So all my gum. And then one time I just like corn I saw a chewed piece of gum sitting in the toilet and I was like there's like a turd next to it and just squeeze out a bubble gum. I've you guys see that like super old meme. It's like the Like Pilates, like mom yoga thing, like the ladies sitting on a a bunch of yoga balls.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and they're all like pink yoga balls and it's like the effects of chewing or swallowing your bubble gum.
Speaker 1:Anyways, cold weather causes colds.
Speaker 2:No, cold weather opens up glass cutting businesses, true, yeah.
Speaker 3:I heard it's like the change of temperature.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, this, this one saying colder caused by viruses, not temperature, is more what it's how does it start?
Speaker 3:COVID.
Speaker 2:I came back. Did you know that there's a new variation and a new shot? I don't, nobody cares anymore.
Speaker 3:It's all over. I was about to get political. I'm just gonna say no.
Speaker 1:I'm jumping right into this.
Speaker 2:I'm not.
Speaker 1:Vaccines cause autism.
Speaker 3:I know that's false because I have a little brother and my whole family was anti-vax.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you have a little brother, okay, and autism. Well, people Is. When people are like I get the vaccine, I'm gonna be fine.
Speaker 1:I get it, I'm not gonna get sick.
Speaker 2:People don't know what a vaccine is it's literally the live virus like the flu, like a flu shot or any vaccine.
Speaker 3:It gives you a smaller dose of whatever it is, so your body has it off can easily fight it off and develop the resistance of that virus.
Speaker 2:So when it does try to attack you, your white blood cells already like. Come at me, bro, like we've already fought once.
Speaker 1:Let's do it again.
Speaker 2:But what people don't understand is COVID is a virus. What is a virus? It's like the flu. What happens with the flu? There's a new flu shot every year because the virus is different every single year. And they predict, with the flu shot there, like what?
Speaker 1:95% sure which one it's gonna be, because they just guess which variant and how it's gonna Right exactly each year and now people like my, gosh COVID, came back. It's like it's gonna come back every year. It's gonna be like it's a flu. It's all it is anymore.
Speaker 2:All right, let's move past this my sister might be mad oh yeah, I need to clarify.
Speaker 3:with the anti-vax, my parents weren't Bought in on that, they were just like yeah their immune systems will figure it out.
Speaker 2:You can picture Justin saying that here's some dirt Romani in there.
Speaker 3:Did you guys ever like go and play with the kid that had chicken pox? Just you'd catch it. No so you don't get it later in life. That was like a 60s thing bro. Well, it was like a 2005 thing for me.
Speaker 2:I was faxed when I was a kid, that when I was young, yeah, I never turns out.
Speaker 3:If you get chicken pox, you can get shingles later in life that those are.
Speaker 2:It's the same thing. It's like aids in HIV Hmm.
Speaker 3:Hmm, same thing seem familiar.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're gonna be. Actually, I've told so many people that life doesn't I have told so many people that when I got sick, yeah, they were thought it was AIDS, right I?
Speaker 3:Don't ever clarify. You remember what a bowl it was, a thing that was like the same timeline. Because a lot of people are like where's Tanner? I'm like Ebola.
Speaker 1:They're like really, I'm like no, we don't know what it is.
Speaker 2:It's easier to say he's dying then yeah, he's just a little sick.
Speaker 1:All right all right. Well, I'm gonna skip to this one, just cuz this will piss people off too, because we're on that, on that road.
Speaker 3:Anyways, we're on that line.
Speaker 1:The moon phases affect people's behavior facts.
Speaker 2:It's true, it's not like in the same like. Oh, the moon isn't the, the venus is in Pisces, and so all the Sagittarius is a little bit more.
Speaker 1:That's fake.
Speaker 2:But coincidentally when the full moon comes out weirdos come, all the weirdos come out.
Speaker 1:But I feel like with all the other one do the track. It is, doesn't. It's a coincidence, it's yeah, that's all it is. It's not, it's not directly linked, but there's got to be something. I feel like it's the.
Speaker 3:Uh, we should have talked about this in our psychology episode, but it's like when you're looking for something, it comes up more. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like when you buy a new car, you see that car everywhere.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because it's fresh in your brain, you can see it more or like when I was like talking to people on the doors, I'd be like, yeah, greenway, I take care of bunch of your neighbors. And it's like, oh, I've never seen your truck. I'm like not a, pointed it out, you'll see it around. Yeah and it's like as soon as you're made aware of something, then you start thinking about it more and you start noticing it.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:We're like your jersey number. Do you see your jersey number all over?
Speaker 1:the place.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, or like you guys is to know.
Speaker 3:Every time I see 35, 37 or 78 Instant you guys, no matter what, 36, so like 36, 37, I'm just I see two and I think Sam yeah, Sam was two for a lot of the time we were playing with him. Mm-hmm, he's senior. Gary switched 22 to get blaze to right, but yeah, I miss that kid yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hope he's doing well. So far, so good, I guess.
Speaker 1:All right, let's move on this next one. So like if you drop a penny from like the Empire State fake or like I hide and I it could kill someone, nope.
Speaker 2:Yep, the penny doesn't. It doesn't have enough mass to reach terminal velocity Because the upward flow of whatever the resistance and actually with how big the. Empire State building, is the pennies more likely to crash back Into the building? Them reach the ground right. Same thing else with like the Grand Canyon yeah, we're dams, yeah.
Speaker 1:I am yeah. Well, a dam is curved anyways, damn it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it ends up going like your basketball ends up going like this right.
Speaker 3:You know the Hoover Dam has, like some reverse physics, air flow effect, or if you take like a water bottom poured over, side of like comes back up. Yeah it's the because, the way that everything Airflow yeah, the reverse physics, and then you like, and then you drop it and it gets in.
Speaker 2:Then it flies up and it hits and you're like oh damn damn.
Speaker 1:Damn fish damn fries.
Speaker 2:You like my damn water back up and hit me.
Speaker 1:It's your damn hot dog.
Speaker 2:So my parents a couple years ago. Um, for my dad's birthday, they like took a weekend out but they went into the Hoover Dam and they're walking. They did like a tour because my dad wanted to and my mom takes a video. My dad's just bumping it up. Well, he goes, bumps into all damn, damn, damn and that's all the video. That's so good.

Speaker 3:Oh, it's ticker. I was like damn.
Speaker 1:I said stick Walking, stick man for the damn tour again. Come on, dude Just wanted a damn stick.
Speaker 3:Is that all you had to play with as a kid?
Speaker 1:As long as it wasn't anybody else, that he's fine.
Speaker 3:That's not even how I meant it. I was thinking of one at the backyard. That was better.
Speaker 1:Great wall of china is visible from space, false, false, not big enough.
Speaker 2:It's only like 10 years wide, so it's like 10 meters wide.
Speaker 1:You need like a magnifying glass like magnifying glass.
Speaker 3:I'm not gonna go to the space station.
Speaker 2:like you see it? No, I can't. You see it? No, I can't die beauty humans.
Speaker 3:That's what those satellites are for. World domination.
Speaker 2:Okay, so let's see, but you know what is visible from space that's technically man-made the bingham copper mine in utah.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, it's massive and the bass pro shop in texas. The pyramid falls. Yeah, we're doing over that one.
Speaker 1:All right, sugar causes diabetes.
Speaker 3:Is that false? That's false.
Speaker 1:It's insulin, right? Yeah, diabetes condition is genetics and lifestyle and other factors. Sugar is not. Sugar alone cannot cause diabetes. Diabetes.
Speaker 3:Right, you want to hear the most terrible story about diabetes. Every time I think about it I want to crawl on a hole and die. So my father-in-law like the first time I met him, uh, I was him up in Idaho picking up carrot gonna bring her back down for spring semester. And we're like talking. And he's like, yeah, like there's like all these trees because it's over Christmas break. I was like, yeah, we're gotta be careful with the cookies. I was like, oh, what for? And he's like I'm pretty diabetic. And I was like, oh, me too. He's like really. And I was like, well, everyone is until uh.
Speaker 1:Until you get diabetes.
Speaker 2:Oh no.
Speaker 3:Turns out, being pre-diabetic is a real thing Now. Next time I saw me at diabetes.
Speaker 1:Oh, I wanted to die, darren. Why would that only happen to you?
Speaker 2:Are you sure Scott has autism and not you? You?
Speaker 1:Scott, we got your back, man.
Speaker 3:Well, he tossed it out so casually. I thought it was the place. Oh, my word.
Speaker 1:As.
Speaker 3:Brigham Young said this is not the place.
Speaker 1:Oh, no, oh, no, so yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm still pre-diabetic, haven't got it yet.
Speaker 1:I don't even know what to do with that anymore. Now, every time I see you, I'm gonna ask you if you got your diabetes yet or not. Darren, are you pre-diabetic?
Speaker 3:If you say no, it means you have it.
Speaker 2:Let's just move on.
Speaker 3:Let's just move on. What's the next one?
Speaker 1:What's the next one? All right, I'm sorry, I'm almost there. Warts come from frogs and toads.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't say it doesn't come from it, it doesn't.
Speaker 1:I'm sure there's other causes, but sometimes Like it's a human, whatever HPV pretty much can cause it and it's an HPV infection type of it, but not from touching like amphibious creatures like frogs, toads and like that. It doesn't come exactly from it. Are you trying to figure out what amphibious it is?
Speaker 2:No, no HIV HPV. What was the difference? Pvc.
Speaker 1:PVC.
Speaker 2:PVP. I don't remember ACT SAT.
Speaker 3:ACDC, spp, small PP, sph, roi.
Speaker 1:I don't know what else ROAS. What was the question? I don't know. You were asking what's the difference between HPV and HIV? Is that what?
Speaker 2:you asked yeah.
Speaker 1:I have no idea.
Speaker 2:I thought you were an expert.
Speaker 1:Here. Let me just pull out my ass, I don't know. Oh my gosh. Sorry, you could have been into that one. Probably let's move on.
Speaker 2:I feel like that was a good thing to end on.
Speaker 1:Wait, warts that one. You're fine to put it on. I'm fine to put it on. I'm fine to put it on. I'm fine to put it on. I'm fine to put it on.
Speaker 3:I'm fine to put it on.
Speaker 1:I'm fine to put it on.
Speaker 3:You'll find it. If I have a wart on my finger and I am touching my other finger, am I going to get a wart on this finger?
Speaker 2:Well, think about it. On the one hand you got a wart and then you're rubbing against the other fingers, You're making contact all the time and your hand doesn't turn into a massive wart.
Speaker 3:I get like a random wart on my middle finger right here and then one right here.
Speaker 2:Where, right here, right here.
Speaker 3:And they'd always bug me, and so when they would get too big, I would snip them with my fingernail clippers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do the same thing, yeah.
Speaker 3:I also got a real bad one right here and it was so nasty I'd always be picking at it. It'd be all bloody and just nasty. And then if I rose my hand in class I felt like everyone was staring at it, and so one day I was just so sick of it and I had tried cutting it off and everything. It would always come back. One day I just pulled out my pocket knife and I was like, oh, I'm getting rid of this sucker. Oh my gosh, You're looking back on it Terrible idea.
Speaker 1:I was like I'm going to cut the knife to my wrist. Which way did you slice it? Did you go this way or?
Speaker 3:this way I wouldn't point in. I carved around the whole thing and then I was like I have to cut out any flesh that the wart has touched to make sure it stays gone and I cut up an even bigger hole. It hasn't ever come back, don't even have a scar. I don't know what happened. I was even cutting with my left hand because it was the right I was cutting out of.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had one of those warts on this part of my finger and after a while, because it bothered me, I felt it all the time. I think I got fingerprinted for a background check to go on like a school field trip because I was over the age of 18 and I was like a chauffeur. I go and they like do it. And they're like, let's do that one again. You got something on there. I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry. Just a couple weeks later I got finger no clippers and I'm like going around it and it gets a little bit. I'm like, yeah, it's hurting, like I'm going. I've been going at it for a minute. I'll you know tomorrow.
Speaker 1:Again, rip it out, and I'm like oh wow. Didn't bleed Really.
Speaker 2:I'm like it bled a little bit because there's a hole in my finger, but it was like gushing, bandaid next day. Fine, I've never, come back. Yeah, I got one coming in right here, though, and I don't know why I'm waiting for it to get a little bit bigger before I take stuff to it but nice. Yeah, I pulled it out and it was like oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:It's like in my finger. It's in my finger. Get it out, yeah.
Speaker 2:No, hasn't come back yet.
Speaker 1:Nice, solid, I'll hit one more. Let's see here.
Speaker 2:Oh, I got a good one here we go.
Speaker 1:This ought to get the conspiracy theorists all riled up. Mobile phones cause brain tumors.
Speaker 3:I do think they cause stupidity.
Speaker 1:They do, they definitely do. They don't cause tumors, though. That's microwaves, no, right here. That was the other one I had over here. I think it was brain cancer. I think is what it said.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah. When I make my nachos I put my forehead on that glass because you got to get the perfect meltiness of the cheese. You know I'm like where'd it go? Done, yeah, exactly yeah.
Speaker 1:But right here, microwave causes cancer. Microwaves are non-ionizing radiation and are safe to use, Yep, so you're good for now.
Speaker 2:Everything else might be not, just don't put a fork in there.
Speaker 3:Or anything metal. Chick-fil-a bags.
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't do that.
