0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Guess what mango? What's that? Will? We are so close

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>to the launch of our new podcast, Part Time Genius, No,

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait. So most people know us as the

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>founders of Mental Flaws. In fact, we should say hello

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>to the brilliant people at Mental Flaws. Hello, brilliant people

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.159
<v Speaker 1>at Mental flass. But we've been itching to start a

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>podcast and ready to start something new, so we joined

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the House Stuff Works family to launch a brand new podcast.

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 1>It's a show called Part Time Genius and it starts

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>June seven. That's right, that's when our first four episodes drop.

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>This show has our chance to find the answers to

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>many of the ridiculous questions we've had over the years.

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:34.959
<v Speaker 1>Will we ever live without sleep? How do Ratz keep

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>out smarting humans? Which personality test should I believe in?

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Is cryonics real? These are just some of the questions

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>will be tackling, and along the way we'll be linking

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>things that probably shouldn't be linked, like why is James

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Bond always hanging out in tax havens? And what pterodactyls

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>had in common with iron rand By the way, the

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>answer is everything. They've got everything in common with iron

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>rands of course, we have zero intention of connecting the

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>dots alone. In each episode will invite a pair of

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>listeners to play a game with us. It might be

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>two librarians from Utah, two part time zoomba instructors, or

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>even to leisure suit designers named Phil. And we'll be

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>tapping some of our favorite brains along the way, scientists, comedians, authors,

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>that's right. In our first episodes will be joined by

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>best selling author A. J. Jacobs, SNL, writers Treater side L,

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the Queen of Useless Robots, Simone ch and mega best

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>selling author John Green, among many other smarty pants. So

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>tune in each week to learn whether you should be

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 1>washing your bananas you should, whether freezing your body is

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>a better value than freezing your head it isn't, And

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>why the mona Lisa used to be a whole lot harrier.

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.760
