1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Sir Isaac Newton, the guy who discovered gravity by having

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: an apple fall on his head. True genius, but a

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: total drag to talk to a house party. Oh look

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: what I invented? Split my drink again? Gravity? Am I right?

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Watch me drop this item? Yeah, I discovered that. By

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: the way, Hi, nice to meet you. Names Isaac, It's

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 1: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Listen, just because you're

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: a scientist doesn't mean you need to spend your entire

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: life researching boring stuff. You shouldn't. That's why every year

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: we recognize the ig Nobel Prize for the ig Nobel Prize.

11
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not smart enough. Yeah. It basically

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: recognizes the researchers who were brave enough to tackle the

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: dumbest questions imaginable. Like in pre years, scientists would ask

14
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: do people eat more spaghetti when using tiny forks or

15
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: when using tiny spoons? We need to know and spend

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: a lot of money doing it. Yea, And this year's

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: winners were just as strange. We have the brand new list,

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: so let's go over it. This year's Literature Prize was

19
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: awarded to a man for his thirty five years of

20
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: work meticulously recording and analyzing the rate one of his

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: fingernails grew.

22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: What slow? Wait? Is he one of those people that

23
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: have one weird long fingernail?

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: Yes, ultimately he found fingernails grow Yeah kind of slow.

25
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we already he wouldn't own that without thirty

26
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: five years of meticulous year.

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Twenty he had an idea he was on this update.

28
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: May have had a weird breakthrough at that point. Thank

29
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: you to whoever that guy is for all of his

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: important contribution to our society. The Nutrition Prize, meanwhile, was

31
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: awarded to a team of researchers who determined rainbow lizards

32
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: from Madagascar prefer for cheese pizza to other varieties of pizza. Y.

33
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm not even gonna say it, but I feel

34
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: like pizza rat should have gotten the upper hand in

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: this one before the lizards.

36
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: Well, we already know about pizza rats and their pizza preferences.

37
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Nobody's looked up rainbow lizards from Madagascar and what they

38
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: would order from docue.

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: Now did they eat the cruss first? Oh? Dude, do

40
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: they like stuff cruss? I mean, I think we need

41
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: some follow up research here. How do they feel about breadsticks?

42
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: All? Right? If you want to fund two hundred thousand

43
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: dollars to the lizard researchers, you go for it. We're

44
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: going over the ig Nobel Prize winners from this year

45
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: that celebrate the strangest, most bizarre actual studies in the

46
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: world of science. Far Yeah, moving on to the Pediatrics

47
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Prize that went to a team in Amsterdam who looked

48
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: into what a nursing infant experiences when their mother eats garlic.

49
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: Oh oh wait good?

50
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: I mean I was always curious what my kids could taste.

51
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

52
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if it's true or not, but

53
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: I was told like spicy foods could affect it and

54
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 2: make them not like it.

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: Not like spicy, or become more like like they can

56
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: eat spicy, I have a higher tollery.

57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: What there wasn't that deep of a discussion. I can't

58
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: really remember.

59
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Brook was just looking down at her nursing children, being like,

60
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm so jealous of you right now. You are so lucky.

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: Right now. I chugged so much. Tabasco Prize for Biology

62
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: went to a study that determined cows who are painted

63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: with zebra like stripes okay, are actually fifty percent less

64
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: likely to be bitten by flies than cows with spots.

65
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: Oh way, this one actually feels like it could be useful. Yeah.

66
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that study cost one hundred and seventy five thousand

67
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: dollars to three and a half years and two metric

68
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: tons of paint. Yeah.

69
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: But you know what, when I'm at camping now, if

70
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: you catch me looking like a zebra, you'll know why.

71
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

72
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: I mean, if it works on cows, it works on me, right, Jack.

73
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: I would assume. Yeah, we're gonna have to do another study.

74
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: Doc coming out today, really learning a lot. The Chemistry

75
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: Prize went to an experiment that analyzed weather eating teflon

76
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: would be an effective way to increase food volume without

77
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: adding extra calories. Isn't that what they make bulletproof.

78
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: Your pans to make them nonstick.

79
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Edible pans should be the next thing though. Still, yeah,

80
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: that's not good.

81
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: I thought it gave you cancer.

82
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: Well, the results were inconclusive, okay, probably because of the cancer,

83
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: and the press was not allowed to speak directly to

84
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: the test subjects who participating. Hopefully they are still with us,

85
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: They're like, don't talk to them. Meanwhile, the Peace Prize

86
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: was given to a study out of Germany that found

87
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: drinking alcohol sometimes improves a person ability to speak a

88
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: foreign language.

89
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: It definitely improves your confidence.

90
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: That quick drunk Arnold Schwarzenegger.

91
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: Going to eat the jeez Beats with four lizards. Yeah,

92
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: because Arnold Schwarzenegger speaking in English is definitely a foreign Yeah. Yeah,

93
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: I didn't really get the correlation there.

94
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: Oh, but you got the correlations with all the other

95
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: stuff that Okay, that might make sense. And finally, the

96
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Psychology Prize went to a team who was paid close

97
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: to half a million dollars for this study, and they

98
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: found a link between people who receive high IQ scores

99
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: and feelings of narcissism.

100
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: Was it hard for them to do a study on themselves? Yeah?

101
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: Must be. It's too bad they spent all that money

102
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: because I'm around Brook when she drinks, and I could

103
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: have told you that immediately. So those were the ig

104
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: Nobel Prizes, ig Nobel Prizes.

105
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: Wait did you just say I have a high IQ?

106
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: Is that what I give your confuser and get out

107
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: of here?

108
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: Whatever it was prizes in science from this year Your

109
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: phone Taft's coming up?

110
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
