1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Albert Einstein, smart guy, kind of a bore. Yeah, it's

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Sure, Albi did some

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: good stuff, he had some great hair, he did his

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: research have to be so freaking lame, dry your relativity,

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: snooze the concept of wave particle duality. I'll take least

6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: sexy topics to bring up on a first date for

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: eight hundred Alex.

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 2: I think he was like a total womanizer if.

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 3: I remember, being honest, I mean there's some problematic stuff

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 3: in his dating.

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: It's just because you're a scientist doesn't mean you have

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: to research boring topics. And that's why they created the

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: ig Nobel Prices, the awards that honor the brave scientific

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: souls who dared to add ask questions like what happens

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: if you give a frog a tiny pair of pants?

16
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: And can those picking actually improve your memory?

17
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 2: That one.

18
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: There? See, if you don't know, every single year we

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: talk about these the ig Nobel Prizes, where they honor

20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: the weirdest studies that researchers are actually doing.

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: Right now, you know that, I honestly look forward to

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: this super fun.

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: Because this year's ig Nobel Prize winners were just announced,

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: so let's get to it. Your first one went to

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: a team of researchers who asked, can you breathe through

26
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: your butt? Ah? This is important to know.

27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 3: Hey, everybody close their mouth and let's see.

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: I don't think I got lungs back there.

29
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: They found actually, many mammals are capable of it, even

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: humans sort of what the study show doctors might be

31
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: able to help treat things like COVID using a special

32
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: mixture of sgen rich liquid that goes into our secret

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: breathing place. What is the cure?

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I will say it's really going to change CPR.

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: Spread. What else was given out of the award show

36
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: A team in Amsterdam did three hundred and fifty thousand

37
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: coin flips and found it's not really a fifty to

38
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: fifty chance for exertails.

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: What is it we choose?

40
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: How?

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Waited? Is it? Coins are slightly more likely to

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: land on the same side that they started up on.

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 3: Oh, you gotta pay attention what it is on the

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: person's finger that's flipping it? Oh man, dude, the NFL

45
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: and all the sports leagues need to.

46
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Be writing this down. Meanwhile, this year's Peace Prize went

47
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: to a study that looked at whether you can put

48
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: pigeons inside of missiles to help guide them to the

49
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: proper destination.

50
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: Why do I feel like that doesn't turn out for

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: the pigeon.

52
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Sounds ethical pigeons need jobs to What is it like

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: last we're going over the top big Nobel Prize winners

54
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: from this year, which celebrates the strangest and most hilarious

55
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: real studies happening in the world of science.

56
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: I also read there's like a whole like banquet for

57
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: this award ceremony and it happens at MI T.

58
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: Like this is like legit, Wow, only MI I T.

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was more prestigious than that. Your Botany

60
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Prize went to a study that found some plants will

61
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: imitate the shapes of fake plastic plants. If you put

62
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: them next to each other, they will shape shift into

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: a fake plant. You would never know that they were real.

64
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: It's like standing next to somebody with fake boobs and

65
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: your boobs start to look like theirs.

66
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: That's what I was, like, that happened, you know what

67
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: I mean?

68
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Exception Yeah, written some insight into brooks inner desires about

69
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: people's chests. Though here maybe you need to be in

70
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: one of these studies I think works on the right track.

71
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: There it is, we don't know. Let's go and The

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: Anatomy Prize went to a study that asked, is the

73
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: direction that your hair swirls affected by the hemisphere that

74
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: you're born in? Odd like the idea that the toilet

75
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: water flushes in different directions. They wonder if your hair

76
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: goes in different directions based on where you're born.

77
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: Ye, did they give us an answer?

78
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: After two hundred hours of research. They concluded that they

79
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: need more research, so we'll keep you updated on your

80
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: hair swirls. The prize for Medicine at the Ignobel went

81
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: to a study that found placebos seemed to work better

82
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: if they cause a few painful side effects.

83
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: What wait, so it's medication that's doing nothing other than

84
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: giving you bad side effects. Yes, maybe it's just because

85
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: the pain goes somewhere else.

86
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,119
Speaker 1: There you go, or you're like, something's happening, So something's working.

87
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: We're talking about the eig Nobel Prize winners from this

88
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: past year, not the Nobel Prize. This is the opposite,

89
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: celebrating the weirdest real studies in the world of science.

90
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: The prize for Physics went to a study that looked

91
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: at the swimming abilities of dead trout. You're not gonna

92
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: believe this. They found that dead trout don't swim as

93
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: good as living truck. I'm really glad that that somebody

94
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: granted the research for this. But oh, that's a different study.

95
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: Look at that. We have to look at that in

96
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: the future. This year's Chemistry prize went to a study

97
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: that used a process called chromatography to make drunk and

98
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: sober earthworms race against each other.

99
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, this has to be a frat party thing that

100
00:05:53,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: they did not as scientific.

101
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: I want to see an earthworm do it. Little tiny

102
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: keg stands yees, wakes up.

103
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: In the morning and has lots of regrets.

104
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: The IIG Nobel Prize for Biology went to an old

105
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: study from nineteen forty one where researchers popped brown paper

106
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: bags while a cat stood on top of a cow's bag.

107
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: Why why they're apparently trying to see if they could

108
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: scare cows into producing more milk.

109
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: Can we just get an information on how they got

110
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: cats to stand on the back of the.

111
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: Image? And finally, the prize for demographics went to a

112
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: study that found places where people supposedly live the longest

113
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: tend to have very poor record keeping in those places,

114
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: specifically when it comes to the years people were born.

115
00:06:50,839 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: Okay, the record show so basically, people really old don't

116
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: actually remember how old.

117
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the important studies that we need to

118
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: make the world a better place. The EIG Nobel Prizes

119
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: for this year, We got your phone, Tawn coming up

120
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
