00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,119
Speaker 1: M Hey everybody, it's me Josh, and for this week's

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: s Y s K Selects, I've chosen what makes us yawn?

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: It's actually a really good question about something everyone does,

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: and yet we don't really fully understand. After all of

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: these eons of people yawning and all these centuries of

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: science studying things like people yawning, we still can't explain

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: what yawning is. So buckle in and enjoy this episode

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: of Stuff You Should Know. Selex, Welcome to Stuff You

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: Should Know, a production of My Heart Radios How Stuff Works. Hey,

10
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark with Charles W.

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Chuck Bryant. You're getting comfy. Yeah, okay, well you put

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: the two of us together, and this is Stuff you

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Should Know the podcast. Frank was squeaking. I thought I

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: was in Frank. Was that Frank? Yeah? I was sorry,

15
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm in Francine. Okay, sorry Francine squeaking, You are in Frank?

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: Who are you? Let's build a chair? Uh? People have

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: never heard this or like, what are they talking about?

18
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: They've already turned off. We name our chairs people then,

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: and everyone he named cars, boats, and chairs. Yeah, a

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: surprising amount of people named chairs. If you don't, you

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: should be paranoid because people are talking about you. It's right, um, chuck, Yes,

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: have you ever oscitated? I have, I've even uh pendiculated.

23
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: Do you pendiculated before? I pendiculate every morning? You know

24
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: what we we sound like? Um people running for the

25
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Senate in nineteen fifties Florida. Yeah, there's like Florida has

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: a rich history of um like people running for political

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: office using technical terms for things that sound way worse

28
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: than they are to like smear their opponents. Really. Yeah,

29
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: there's this one guy who went and I can thank

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: Uncle John and his bathroom readers for um who went

31
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: after his opponent and said that his sister was a

32
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: thespian in New York and like all these people are

33
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: like boo boo. Yeah, and apparently like the smear campaign

34
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: was successful. That wasn't the only one, but this guy

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: used that a couple of couple of technical terms. We

36
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: should probably tell people what we're talking about, right, because

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: you said you pendiculate every morning, easily every morning, and

38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: that is a what that is a yawn and a

39
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: stretch combined together. And as one of my favorite things

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: to do in the morning it is. Did you did

41
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: you see that painting of the It was a self portrait,

42
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: the artist's self portrait sounded like it was from like

43
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: the sixteenth or seventeenth century of him pendiculating. It's just

44
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: as awesome oil painting of this, you know, Renaissance man

45
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: stretching and yawning. Yeah. I love it because it feels

46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: good and it uh, it ties me to my pets,

47
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, because like I see them do it, they

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: see me do it, and I'm kind of like, hey,

49
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: we all eat, we all pee and poop, and we

50
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: all pendiculate. My little cattle stretching yawn. My dogs will

51
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: stretching yawn, and I will stretching you. So do you

52
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: guys make one another stretching ya on? You know, I'm

53
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: gonna start looking out for that because I have not

54
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: noticed that. But apparently yawning can be contagious to animals, right, Yeah,

55
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: there's a fun little game you can do jogs supposedly

56
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: chimps for sure, but probably not cats, I don't know. Yeah,

57
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: just because it's not in here doesn't mean it's not true. Um,

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: there's a fun little game. You complain the next time

59
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: you're hanging out with people if you feel like manipulating

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: them on a biological level, Um, just yawn and just

61
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: start paying attention to how many people yawn as a result,

62
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: and it should start some sort of chain reaction among

63
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: maybe of the people, because that's the that's the statistic

64
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: of how many human adults yawn in reaction to seeing

65
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: somebody on, seeing video of somebody on, hearing about somebody yawning,

66
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: reading about yawning, Like how many times did you yawn

67
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: while you read this article? A bunch? And people will

68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: probably yawn while listening to this, Supposedly it's pretty much

69
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: impossible not to. Yeah, do you ever? This just really

70
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: shows how deeply disturbed I am. I will not I

71
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: will suppress or cover up a yawn if someone else

72
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: has made me on sometimes just so I don't give

73
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: them the satisfaction. Oh yeah, I've done that before. Sometimes

74
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: he was like, no, I'm not like just some stranger

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: on an elevator. They'll yawn and I'll just be like, Nope,

76
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: not me, buddy. One of those people who don't realize that,

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: like they're they're just your mortal enemy for no real

78
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: good reason, when in fact they really don't even know exists, right,

79
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 1: they're like some guys on the elevator, right, So yawning

80
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: is involuntary. Um, And I've seen a range of of

81
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: weeks that a fetus has been observed yawning from eleven

82
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: to twenty and uh, that sort of disproves one of

83
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: the well many things, disproves one of the theories, which

84
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: is that we yawned to oxygenate ourselves. Yeah, because a

85
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: lot of people think that fetus is um, breathe amniotic

86
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: fluid in the womb, and that is absolutely not true.

87
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: The oxygen to the umbilical cord. Yeah, so they're not

88
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: clearly not yawning to oxygenate themselves. Right, And we'll debunk

89
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: that with other things in a minute. Sure, Um, but

90
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: that's still it is a little bit of a mystery though, Like, yeah,

91
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: the other the other ideas for why we yawned don't

92
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: really hold up in the fetus either. It feels like

93
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: that's where the key to the mystery of yawning is

94
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: going to be found in. All right, should we go

95
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: there over some theories and well, hold on, first, you're

96
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: saying it's involuntary. I found this one thing, Chuck, that

97
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: there's a type of paralysis like a lesion on the

98
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: brain where you can still if you yawn, you still pendiculate,

99
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: So like you're paralyzed arm. If you yawn deep enough,

100
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: will will raise, will rise. Yeah, pretty weird. Huh. There's

101
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: only been a few cases of it over like the

102
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: last hundred and fifty years, but it's been documented in

103
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: a number of different places. Yeah, but that is such

104
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: a surprise. Yeah, seriously, they're like, can I be tired

105
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: more often? Um So when you yawn, just physiologically speaking,

106
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna open your mouth. You're going to suck in

107
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: air into your lungs. I read one place that you

108
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: your eyes usually close. They did this big study and

109
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: found that most time your eyes closed. But I don't

110
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: think it's like all the time. You know that's sneezing

111
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: you're thinking of. No, they did a study on on

112
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: the eyes of the yawner. Well that's part of the

113
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: yawn too, as far as um queues go, Like, it's

114
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: not just the mouth opening your eyes quint. Yeah, and

115
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: I found like the really good deep yawn, um, my

116
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: eyes will generally close. So you're gonna flex your your abs.

117
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: It's good workout. It's gonna put your dye for RAM down.

118
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna fill your lungs with air and then exhale

119
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: and that as a yawn stretch, you're pendiculating. UM. Also,

120
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: parts of your brain become active, right. UM. Basically what

121
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: happens when all of this, when you go through all

122
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: this process, a bunch of neurotransmitters and dopamine are activated.

123
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: And that is why a guy named Robert Provine thinks well.

124
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: He says that, UM, yawns are basically a part of

125
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: a change from one state of arousal to another. Yeah,

126
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: like I was asleep, now I'm awake, or I was

127
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: I was alert, now on board, or I was like

128
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: just ho hum, and now I'm like in the mood

129
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: because there you can yawn when you're sexually aroused. So

130
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: that mood, YEA, the mood, the mood, the Glenn Miller mood.

131
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: That's what they had to call it back then, and

132
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: that's what we have to call it today on this

133
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: family friendly podcast. UM. What's going on to is physiologically speaking,

134
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: as we are distributing UM, something called the surfactant, which

135
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: sounds gross and it kind of is. It's a wedding agent. Uh.

136
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: To cote al violi in the lungs. Um. But are

137
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: they saying that's what happens or that's why it happens,

138
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Okay, they're not saying the reason is

139
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: to cope the alboli with surfact then, right, it could be.

140
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean, for all we know. No, we still have

141
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: no idea what function yawning provides. Same with the the

142
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: yawning as a symbol of arousal or is a sign

143
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: of arousal. They think that it's really just a byproduct

144
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: of it, you know. Okay, but it explains why people

145
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: who are nervous or dogs. I'm sure you've seen dogs

146
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: who are nervous and they yawn and like that really

147
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of weird, unsettling ways when they're super worked up. Yeah. Yeah,

148
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: and humans too, you know, like people will yawn when

149
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: they're nervous. It's it's it's it's a sign that you're

150
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: in a state of arousal. And what that state of

151
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: arousal is depends on the situation. Yeah. They point to

152
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Olympians who yawned before like a race, and um, which

153
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Poopoo's one theory that we're going to get to the theory.

154
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: So we just get to the theories. Let's get to

155
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: the theory. Poops. That theory though, that you have to

156
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: be bored or you have to be sleepy retired. Yeah

157
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: like that. There's the boredom theory, and it's kind of

158
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: been pretty fully shot down just by you know, just

159
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: casual observation. There's also the physiological theory, which is that

160
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: this is the one that I'd always heard when I

161
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: was younger, like, why are you yawned? Is because you

162
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: needed your oxygen deprived or you have an abundance of

163
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide. So you're drawing in a bunch of oxygen

164
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: and like putting out a bunch of carbon dioxide. That's

165
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: why you're yawned. And provine or provine that you mentioned. Yeah,

166
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: he tested this one right, Yeah, pretty simply. He just said, okay, well, um,

167
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: let's just give some athletes a bunch of oxygen and

168
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: see if they um, if they breathe, if they yawn

169
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: any less than they didn't. He also um increased the

170
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide in the ambient air and people still kept yawning. Okay,

171
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: so that one's gold, but they didn't yawn anymore. Yeah,

172
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: so we can put that to bed. Yeah. Plus also

173
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: there was a terrible um hy proof associated with that

174
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: hypothesis that that explains why people yawning groups, because when

175
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: you have a big group, more carbon dioxide and less oxygen,

176
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: and that's like you're all fighting over the oxygen. Right,

177
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: So you're there yawning. Yeah, whoever can yawn the deepest lives?

178
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound right. Evolution UM could play a part.

179
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: Some people think that maybe we used to yawn took

180
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: took Wood yawn to bare his teeth to intimidate folks

181
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: around him UM, or that it developed as a signal.

182
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: Took Took would give a signal to his mates that hey,

183
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: we gotta we're hunting now and we need to go

184
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: now gather would so I will yawn to tell you

185
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: that like pre speech, right, Yeah, like a bird turning

186
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: if the whole flock. Yeah, that makes a little bit

187
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: of sense, But I still don't believe that one. I'm

188
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: with the brain cooling theory. That's like the most recent

189
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: one and it seems to be the one that people

190
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: are subscribing to. Ye. Scientists generally are leaning toward the

191
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: fact that UM, when our brains are warmer, yawning might

192
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: cool it down in A cool brain is a more whatever,

193
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: a better brain. I guess I should say I just

194
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: better for thinking I just yawned, did you I did? Okay,

195
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. Well, I covered my mouth. You

196
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: might have thought I was purpening. I think I did. Um.

197
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: So the brain cooling theory, that's the one that most

198
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: people think is lately, that's the that's the explanation to

199
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: your yeah, um. And there's another piece of research that

200
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: people are going into that um is the idea that

201
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: contagious yawning is the result of empathy, right, that you

202
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: that you empathize, The more you empathize with other people,

203
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: the more susceptible you are contagious yawning. And we said

204
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: earlier that like I think of human adults, UM are

205
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: susceptible to contagious yawning, right, which the MythBusters confirmed by

206
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: the way. Okay, so there is some sort of link

207
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: between what we perceive his empathy and the susceptibility to yawning.

208
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: When you see somebody else yawning or reading about yawning

209
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: or whatever, I wonder if it's like a boy, that

210
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: guy's tired and just let me make him feel better. Well,

211
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: the pro vine again, he's like really into yawning research. Um.

212
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: He he has done m r I scans where he

213
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: shows I guess pictures of people yawning or talked about

214
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: yawning and you know they yawn um. And when they do,

215
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: he says that mere neurons go off friends, right, So

216
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: are our mere neurons are activated when you see somebody

217
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: else yawn? And apparently that triggers the yawn. But people

218
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: take it a step further in this quest to prove

219
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: that empathy and contagious yawning are you know, want work

220
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: hand in hand and saying, well, then people with autism

221
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: that that they shouldn't be able to to be susceptible

222
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: to contagious yawning, right, because they're known to have less empathy, right,

223
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: they had trouble connecting with others or um, they have

224
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: trouble developing what's called the theory of mind about other people. Um.

225
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: And there have been a lot of studies about whether

226
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: or not people who are people who have autism are contagious?

227
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Is too susceptible the contagious yawning? Yeah, and it's it's

228
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: it's been proven, not proven, but at least. The data

229
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: says that the more, uh, the the stronger your autism,

230
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: the less you will yawn, even though uh they will

231
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: yawn when someone is pretending to yawn. Was that what

232
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: it was? Yeah? I think it said that, Um, when

233
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: they're watching video of people just moving their mouths, then

234
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: non autistic kids yawned more than kids with autism when

235
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: it was really yawning. Does that make sense? Yes, Well,

236
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: hold on before we get to that, um, because this

237
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: is like a whole thing to me, the idea that

238
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: if you have autism you're not susceptible and contagious yawning.

239
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: Let's let's first I have a message break from our sponsor. Okay, Josh,

240
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: So I believe we were talking about autism and yawning,

241
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: which is I just learned a thing for you. Well, yeah,

242
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: you said that there was. Um. They have found that

243
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: if you have been diagnosed with autism, you're less likely

244
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: to be susceptible and contagious yawning. And they found that

245
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: the higher on the autism spectrum you fall, the less

246
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: lucky would you would even be right? Yeah, which would

247
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: suggest that there is that link because they've tied there

248
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: there's a link between uh, empathy and an autism and

249
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: empathy and contagious yawning. So this autism and studying kids

250
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: with autism is kind of like the fulcrum. So yeah,

251
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: it just seems to me to be kind of Um,

252
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't I don't buy all the

253
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: studies that have been carried out. Another studies kind of contradicted,

254
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: like they other studies have shown that like kids with

255
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: autism focus on people's mouths rather than their eyes, So

256
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: maybe they're missing the cue. Member. We said that your

257
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: eyes scrunch, so like a yawn is not just people

258
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: opening their mouths. It has all these other facial characteristics

259
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: that might trigger a yawn and another person. So maybe

260
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: kids with autism are simply missing that. So you're saying,

261
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: maybe the data could be skewed by other factors. It

262
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: could be plus. I just remember when I wrote this

263
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: article like years back, I was kind of like, yeah,

264
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: it's just it seems just slightly off, like, yeah, you

265
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: got a good gut though, Well thanks man, I've been

266
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: working on it so bad. Um Well, we should also

267
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: mention too that this goes back a long way, like

268
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: I believe was it Hippocrates? Yeah, was the first person

269
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: to start sort of postulating ideas, and he was like, uh,

270
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: he thought it was fever related, like sickness. It could

271
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: help cure you. So I got a fever and the

272
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: only prescription is more yawning. That's why here's the father

273
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: of medicine. That's right, because he was the first guy

274
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: to just start saying stuff. But you know that was

275
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: pretty quickly disproven. Right. But um, the idea that yawning

276
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: has something to do with um increasing our alertness and awareness,

277
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: which is kind of one of the current views of yawning.

278
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: Um that dates back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Yeah,

279
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: well it increases your heart rate during inhalation only um,

280
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: not during uh the I think it it It increases

281
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: and then levels off and then just drops back down

282
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: to the more pretty quickly, I got you. Yeah, but

283
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: up to like thirty beats per minute increase. Right. Yeah.

284
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: I read a real heavy article on this study that

285
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: really just made my eyes cross. But that was a

286
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: long and short of it. Right, But that's one that

287
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: dealt with the eyes, Like they really measured all kinds

288
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 1: of stuff. Uh. And when we said that fetus is

289
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: from eleven to twenty weeks of development yawn in utero

290
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: and did you see any of like the four d

291
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: ultrasounds of fetus? Is yawning? Is it adorable? It's pretty cute,

292
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: but it's also weird at the same time because they're

293
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: not fully developed. It's it's like, oh you, it's like

294
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: a little baby platypus kind of um, but you have

295
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: to be around age four before you um can Uh,

296
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: you're susceptible the contagious yawning. Yeah, it's there, any way

297
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: to put it besides susceptible the contagious yawning, I don't

298
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: think so. Do you feel like you've said that like

299
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: a lot and I've had trouble with it every time. Uh.

300
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: There's another couple of researchers who a couple of years ago,

301
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: um Andrew Gallup and Omar Tansi Elda car H. They

302
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: found that outside temperature could affect the amount of yawning.

303
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: So if it's warmer than usual, then you're gonna yawn

304
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: less frequently because um. Their explanation is the outside air

305
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: is useless to the organism because it doesn't need to

306
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: suck in more oxygen. I don't get how the temperture

307
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: would affect that though. Well, if it's warmer temperature and

308
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: you're using the cooler air to cool your brain, if

309
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: it's warmer than the temperature of your brain, then okay,

310
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah all right. Well they had other

311
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: tests though, that's that showed that the amount of yawning

312
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: increase both when outside temperature and the temperature of the

313
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: brain increase. Yeah, it's all over the place. No, no

314
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: one knows anything about yawning except Robert Provine, the foremost

315
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: leading authority. Well, well he's proven that like seeing your

316
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: hearing about somebody yawning, it triggers your mirror neurons. So yeah,

317
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: I think somebody should do a documentary on these people

318
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: that become obsessed with yawns. No, just like a certain

319
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: small thing. So you're yawning right now? Um, And that

320
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: was unsatisfying because you made me laugh in the middle

321
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: of it. I think like fast, cheap and out of control.

322
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: I've talked about it before. Errol Morris's documentary sort of

323
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: did that, but that was about like studying naked mole

324
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: rats or lion taming or um what's it called when

325
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: you clip the hedges in diopiary gardening. But someone they

326
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: should do things that are even more like mundane, like

327
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: this dude that has dedicated as life to yawning. I

328
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: just think they'd be interesting, Like what drives provine? Figure

329
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: this out? When it really doesn't matter, you know what

330
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Well, I don't know, because and it's not

331
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: just yawning. He he frequently is cited as a yawning expert.

332
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: He's an evolutionary biologist. Okay, so like, but yawning, since

333
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: it's involuntary, and since you find it in all vertebrates,

334
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: it kind of gives some peek into our evolutionary past. Plus,

335
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: he probably just loves a good mystery. Sure, he had

336
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: a great quote too. We were talking how arousal yawning

337
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: is a is a byproduct of a state of arousal.

338
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: He was saying that he believes that um, yawns and

339
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: orgasms share a neurobehavioral heritage. Yeah, so, like they're possibly

340
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: rooted in the same behavior. Like remember you said it yourself,

341
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: when you pendiculate feels good, same, you know with the orgasm. Yeah,

342
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: so I've heard those feel great, right, So possibly if

343
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: you trace the lineage of this behavior back far enough,

344
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: you'd see like, oh, they both came from when humans

345
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: juice to stub their toe. They thought it was awesome,

346
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: and then the things diverged into these two things interesting

347
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: into uh, yawning and what happens when you're in the

348
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: mood the Glenn Miller mood. Right, Ah, you got anything else? No, man,

349
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: that is yawning forever until somebody figures it out. It's

350
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: a mystery. Yeah, and I kind of like it like that,

351
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think it's it's so

352
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: amorphous that there's no no one has a clue. Like

353
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: sometimes we've talked about stuff that science couldn't fully explain,

354
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: but we almost always like pick a theory, like this

355
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: is the one. It just hasn't been proven yet, right,

356
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: this one. I don't feel like we did that, Like

357
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: we both like the brain cooling one, but it was

358
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: kind of discarded. Yeah, and I'm definitely gonna keep an

359
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: eye on my pets, um, But then I don't know

360
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: if like, can you induce that just by noticing more,

361
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I'm saying, or maybe what

362
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: I'll do is I'll watch Emily around the pets so

363
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: no one's in on it. Just be careful, you don't

364
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: accidentally change their behavior just by observing it's Buckley farts

365
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: every time he stretches too. And see that's what I'm saying.

366
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: We'll see if Emily farts while she andiculates, right, that'll

367
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: be the death's nice. Um. So okay, I think if

368
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: you guys want to learn more about yawning, you can

369
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: type that word into the search bar at how stuff

370
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: works dot com. And since I said search part means

371
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: it's time for listener mail. Uh, not quite yet, my friend.

372
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: We have a quick word from our sponsor again, and

373
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: then we will we have a great listener mail though

374
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: about Rodriguez. So oh yeah, yeah, okay, all right, so

375
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: this is a time for message break, okay, and no,

376
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: it's time for listener mail. Huh yes, And I already

377
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: gave it away because I wanted people to stick around

378
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: for this and it is called I hang Out with Rodriguez.

379
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: So we mentioned Rodriguez, the singer songwriter from the sixties who,

380
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: unbeknownst to him, was a huge, huge hit in South America.

381
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: And no, South Africa, what did I say, South American?

382
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: It's such an idiot now South Africa. And then like

383
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: down there once on the left ones on the right

384
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: and then later in Australia and um so we covered

385
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: that in our Apartheide podcast and you can see the

386
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: documentary searching for Sugarman's Super Interesting. Which one best documentary

387
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: this year? Right? Yeah? Yeah? Have you seen How to

388
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: Survive a Plague? That was up for Best Picture too,

389
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: best Documentary? Yes, it was a good Yeah, it was

390
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: really good. Um it was. It's about the early gay

391
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: like AIDS awareness movement and like it's just what they

392
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: were up against. His mind boggling, you know, like that

393
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: society was just kind of like, no, God's punishing you.

394
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: Good luck with it, pal, jeez. Yeah, it was really something.

395
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: I saw our friends Steward of Superhuman Happiness. Who are

396
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: they're fans of the show. He scored the soundtrack. Oh nice,

397
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: he did a really good job with it too. You

398
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: want to check that out. Um. I saw another trailer

399
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: the other day for a documentary about this family of

400
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: Jews who hid in a underground for a year and

401
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: a half during World War Two and they never told

402
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: their story because they didn't think anyone believe it. In

403
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: this caving cave diver not cave diver, caving guy found

404
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: these human objects and traced them back to this family

405
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: and they came out like the surviving ones, like told

406
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: their story of his amazing it's called No Place on Earth,

407
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: and uh, it's coming out soon. It looks awesome. All right, Well,

408
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: there you go, everybody. We like to recommend documentaries around here. Okay, Rodriguez, guys.

409
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: It's so fun to hear you talk about Rodriguez because

410
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: I've known him a little bit here and there. I'm

411
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: glad he's getting recognition. And here's a story about the

412
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: first day I met him. September two thousand seven, I

413
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: moved into a one year old apartment building in the

414
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: Cast Corridor neighborhood of Detroit. It was a bar across

415
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: the street called the Bronx, and after getting moved in,

416
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: my boyfriend and I went over there, had a night

417
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: of celebrating and talking with some old and new friends.

418
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: Our friend Dale pointed out this dude wearing all black

419
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: with sunglasses on, said, you know, Rodriguez, that guy over

420
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: there is bigger than Elvis in South Africa and Australia.

421
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: I didn't understand the gravity of a statement at the time,

422
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: but being friendly people, we talked late into the night

423
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: with Dale and Rodriguez the bar clothes. We decided to

424
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: walk back across the street to our new apartment, and

425
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: Rodriguez followed us out with his guitar and toe. It's

426
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: very quiet out about three in the morning. The apartment

427
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: building was you shaped, with a big courtyard in the

428
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: middle and low lighting. It was really beautiful. There was

429
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: a single picnic table and we sat there on it,

430
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: talking more and more. Rodriguez pulled out a pint of brandy,

431
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: offered us some and then asked if we wanted to

432
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: hear his new song, saying he had just written it

433
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: the other day. He said sure because he seemed so

434
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: incredibly excited about it. He played the song for us

435
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: and played it again, which I thought was interesting. He

436
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: played it twice, So did you like that? You want

437
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: to hear it again? Wait before you answer, let me

438
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: play it a second time. Uh. And then we talked

439
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: some more about music and love and he played it

440
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: once again. No way, I guess he played it three times. Um.

441
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: I saw many many times over the next few years

442
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: and met his middle daughter as well. He'll played the

443
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: same song every time. But I'll never forget sitting under

444
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: the stag stars all alone with him in a majestic

445
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: old Detroit courtyard giving my boyfriend and me a private

446
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: concert of a single song. That's cool played Thrice in

447
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: passing the Cheap Brandy. He really is. It's kind and

448
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: happy of a soul, as the movie says, that's cool.

449
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: When you watch Churching for sugar Man, you can see

450
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: a couple of people talking to the Bronx bar and

451
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: even see my old apartment in the background. I hope

452
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: I see you guys soon, Love Julia. Well, thanks Julia.

453
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: Hat tipped to you for being aware of the word Thrice,

454
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: and for um, I guess waiting out the storm in Detroit. Yeah,
