1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,639
Speaker 1: We haven't done this in a while. Let's clean out

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: the sound fridge.

3
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: One more thing, one more thing.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Who originally came up with the ridiculous metaphor that is

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: cleaning out the sound fridge? Is your idea?

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: I believe I get credit for that, the sound of fridge.

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: And we even have we even have a jingle. It's

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: the idea that we have all these sound clips and

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: we don't always get to all of them on the show.

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: And I guess, just like you got leftovers in your

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: refrigerator that you should clean out, we're cleaning out.

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: I guess that's it. I'd exactly right, thank you, Yes, yes,

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: let's metaphor.

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Let's start with this Nobel Prize winner who has an

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: unusual accomplishment.

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: The Ignobel Physiology Prize is awarded to Rio Okabe, You

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: Hey Yokayama, and Taka Nori to KB for discovering that

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 3: many mammals are capable of breathing through their anus.

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: First and foremost, thank you so much for believing the

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: potential of anus for breathing potential. So who, who's where

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: was this happening?

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: This was actually yes, for real at mit it was

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 4: Nobel Peace Prize awards for scientific discoveries, and that was

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: one of them.

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: It's a hell of a party, gag. Anyway, I want

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: to know how he figured this out. How many animals

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: did he kill with their head underwater and their ass

28
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: sticking out before he came up with a winner?

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Well, number one, ouch, number two. They were really tickled

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: with getting to say that and talk about, weren't they

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: these these geeks.

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny, that's funny.

33
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's usually something you know, nobody understands what

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: even the MIT people probably understand. They really enjoyed it. Okay,

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: moving on sound for the most mocked. Jackson died over

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: the weekend. So of the Jackson five, I don't know why.

37
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Gus his name is Funny Tito because his.

38
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: Nickname was funny. I think he was the guitar player,

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: like the whole time.

40
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: Tito Jackson. He was an actual musician, Michael's older brother,

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: and they were still touring him and a couple other

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Jackson's some Jackson's at the age of seventy something. Anyway,

43
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: he died over the weekend.

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 5: Here's this, Yeah, I am playing this guitar about seven

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 5: eight years old. He looked at me and said, dang,

46
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 5: you planned just as good as me. He gave me

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 5: the guitar. He said, I want you to learn every

48
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 5: song on the radio. So that's what I started doing.

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 5: Then Jackie and Jermaine and there we were harmonizing, and

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 5: Michael and Marlon were just little bitty things, you know.

51
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: They were somewhere around two, three, four years old. One day,

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 5: a year or two later, we hear Michael singing in kindergarten, singing,

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 5: climb every mountain. He tore it up. Man, we couldn't believe.

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 5: Our mouths flew open. We rushed him home, telling him

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 5: he's in the group. Mom said me too, say yeah,

56
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 5: you too.

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: Come on.

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 5: So that's how the Jackson Brothers were formed.

59
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I mean, you can say to all but

60
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: one out of two million people, learn all the songs

61
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: on the radio, you seven year old, and it's like, what,

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: how could I do that? But he did it. He

63
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: could just do it. And everybody in that family. What

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: goes on there? When did mom and dad have a

65
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: musical talent particularly or did all their kids just for

66
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: some remember quirk of the genetics of mom and dad

67
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: coming together just all we're all musical geniuses. Really interesting.

68
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

69
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: It was his dad's guitars we played obviously.

70
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, weird. Here's a different thing. Both my kids really

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: like the Claw game. Like if you're in some sort

72
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: of art Claw club, if you're at some sort of arcade.

73
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: I try to discourage them. Look, you're not gonna get

74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: the new Tendo switch. Okay, it's just not gonna happen.

75
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: They're not gonna let you grab that the clothing and

76
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: they always try anyway.

77
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: But just so Katie, I used to have that credit

78
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: for that. That was awesome. I had the whole sequence

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: of that part of toy story memorized. That would do

80
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: the whole thing for my kids. I don't remember it now,

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: but the club they worshiped it as a god because

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: it took the toys up to heaven as far as

83
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: they could tell.

84
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: Right, which I saw as an attack on Christianity. But

85
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: you thought it was amusing enough, fair enough, completely unfair.

86
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Uh anyway, here's somebody AI telling you how you win

87
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: at the Claw game.

88
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 6: Why is it that every time you try to grab

89
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 6: a toy from the claw machine you always miss it

90
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 6: by just a little bit. It's because claw machines are

91
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: set with sensitivity levels from one to five, with five

92
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 6: being the tightest grip and one being the loosest. Each

93
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 6: time you start the machine, it randomly selects a level,

94
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 6: but the chances of getting level five are the lowest.

95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 6: If you press right, left, right, down, down, and then

96
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 6: press the grab button twice before starting, you'll hear a

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 6: prompt sound. This means the machine has switched to level

98
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 6: five sensitivity. If you try to grab it again at

99
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 6: this time, you will come back to thank me.

100
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: So grab it a little tighter sometimes and a little

101
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: looser other times. Yes, I employed that myself.

102
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 7: Oh jeez, wow, wow, it was Oh okay, that was

103
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 7: like one of those gamer code things that they left

104
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 7: right down, down and then hit the button twice or

105
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 7: whatever it was. Yeah, oh that's been reprogrammed now that

106
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 7: this jerk told everybody how to do it.

107
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: I was thinking right way to go AI. I actually

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: had some padlocks that were up, down, right and left.

109
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: It wasn't the numbers and you can't program it. I

110
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: thought that was pretty cool. They got stuck too easily, though,

111
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: if you use them outside.

112
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: What's our stance on basically rigged arcade games that are

113
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: stealing from children is it just a great right, a

114
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: great life lesson.

115
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: Or yes, tell your kids know it's a ripoff.

116
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm just always wondering why did these things exist? Why

117
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: do we allow these things to exist? A giant arcade

118
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: full of things that are just stealing money from people.

119
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you tell he go ahead.

120
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 7: Oh, you tell the kids it's a ripoff. And then

121
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 7: if they keep complaining, you go go, fine, go ahead.

122
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 7: Then they lose and you're right.

123
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: But it's not set up as Darwin's electronic Jungle to

124
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: try to teach children.

125
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: It's a learning opportunity, a teaching opportunity. No, that's there

126
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: to take your money. A very low percentage of people

127
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: ever get anything. It's a ripoff. That's good. They're doing

128
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: you and your children a service.

129
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: There's something interesting that happened in a Panera bread o

130
00:06:53,400 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: come off, stop stop wow, Wow, dude. Panera bread employee

131
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: stops crazy man by hitting him on the head with

132
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: a loaf of bread.

133
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

134
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 7: Something at a wwe The way he came over the

135
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 7: top of the head with it.

136
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: Just it's great.

137
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Panera Management Corporation doesn't want him getting

138
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: involved in these sorts of things at all. But as

139
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: a normal human being. You don't like to deal with

140
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: crazy people or thieves or whatever. I was at a

141
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: story the other petco as a petcoat, and I'm waiting

142
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: in line to buy crickets. God dang it. Once a

143
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: week I have to go buy crickets. I have to

144
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: buy bugs to feed to a lizard that your kids

145
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: lost interest in. Oh yeah, roughly the day they got it.

146
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: I need to sell it, but I just haven't come

147
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: up with the time to list my lizard and then

148
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: start meeting people and them over the lizard in the

149
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: cage anyway.

150
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: Hawk study too.

151
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, just take it back, I would think. Can't you

152
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: just take back a used lizard? Yeah, Hi, don't want

153
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: this thing anymore.

154
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: Sell it.

155
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: They get to double the money.

156
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: Turn it loose, you know. Hey, it's called freedom, good luck.

157
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I can't believe it's still alive. I

158
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: don't want it to die because I'd be a little cruel.

159
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: But man, lizards are resilient. They don't need much. A

160
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: little bit of.

161
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: Wine when the hawks takes off its tail, it'll be fine, Joe.

162
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 7: But Show's way makes me think of those bird releases

163
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 7: where they're like, it's like a funeral or nothing, and

164
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 7: they release the doves and the strain comes by it

165
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 7: just takes them out.

166
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: Oh jeez.

167
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: So I met the pet coo and I'm waiting in

168
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: line for my pay for my crickets, and the clerk

169
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: on the other side said, hey, did you pay for that?

170
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: A guy walked out the door at the dog bit Dude,

171
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: did you pay for that dog bed? And the guy

172
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: kept walking and and I actually wondered, didn't I didn't

173
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: hear any more about how this story ended? Was well,

174
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: did the guy steal it or not? And he didn't

175
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: look like a thief. But anyway, too, were you gonna

176
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: like go out in the parking lot and fight him

177
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: or what are you gonna do in that situation? And

178
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: even if you call the police the police, I don't

179
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: think the police are gonna come. And if they did come,

180
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: it's not like they're gonna prosecute you, not like they're

181
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna fill out the paperwork for a guy who stole

182
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: a thirty dollars item, right.

183
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: He knows that, Yeah, he knows that it's Ceie stole it.

184
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: And then similarly, I was at the convenience store the

185
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: other day, the circle case.

186
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: Somebody should have beat him over the head with a

187
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: loaf of bread.

188
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: I wonder if they serve that bread after you hit

189
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: something in the head with it.

190
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 2: I'm more interested in the concept of bread as a

191
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: fighting instrument. I mean, I suppose some breads. I mean

192
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: a really crusty bag guette. Maybe you could use it

193
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: to jab somebody in the face or something. But if

194
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: you're using it as a bludgeon, I am not effective. No.

195
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: No, If I'm in a fight, I don't want a chibata.

196
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: That's for certain way too soft.

197
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: If you can get into close range, you might be

198
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: able to blind somebody with a croissant. But it's a

199
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: it's a it's a low percentage play.

200
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: I think with a rustic batard I could keep off

201
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: a small person a pardon me?

202
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 2: Or what now is my?

203
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: Are my bread?

204
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: Terms?

205
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: Wow? But not with the pugiles. I'm at the comm

206
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm at the circle k. The other day something stranger

207
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: foot at the circle k, which is a quote from

208
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. But I was at the

209
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: circle k and uh, I was like a space has

210
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: had a lot on my mind, A lot lot on

211
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: my mind. I stopp at the circle k I got gas,

212
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: and I went in to get water because I'm so

213
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: dang thirsty, but I'm really deep in thought. I get

214
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: my water and then I walk out because I got

215
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 1: so much in my mind. I just walked out of

216
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: the store and I got halfway in my truck. Is jeez,

217
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: I didn't pay for this. And I went back in

218
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: and the guy was there. It wasn't busy. He was

219
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: just there leaning against the counter with his arms crossed,

220
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: just looking at me. I said, hey, I didn't pay

221
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: for that, and he just kind of looked me like, yeah.

222
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: Whatever, it's it's voluntary, dude.

223
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: And then I paid for it. But I thought he

224
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: watched me walk out of there, didn't even you know,

225
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: raise an eye at it.

226
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: Sure, all I thought was another one well dollar fifty.

227
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna come out and fight me, and then

228
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: the corporation doesn't want him to. But what a weird

229
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: society we live in now where it's just like, doesn't

230
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: even doesn't even get anybody's attention. No, that can't last, obviously.

231
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: No, Well it'll degenerate into Well this signed Californians again.

232
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: One more cleaning out the sound fridge. We're clear in

233
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: the back and here's some gross, crusty thing. We don't

234
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: even know what it is. I hate to even touch

235
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: it with my bare hands. This is a valley girl thing, Oh.

236
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: You asked, Yeah, this is I brought this to the party.

237
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 2: This guy is a linguist explaining vocal fry, which we

238
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: were talking about the other day the show Awesome.

239
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 8: You know how young women sometimes add this small nasal

240
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 8: sound to the end of their sentences, and it's like

241
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 8: a little unnecessary exhalation with the rising tone. So that's

242
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 8: actually a completely new example of a non lexical conversational sound,

243
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 8: something that's not quite a word, but it's still important

244
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 8: for maintaining conversational flow. It's kind of like how the

245
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 8: word M is used to show the listener that you're

246
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 8: still talking, but the exact opposite, because the M is

247
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 8: only used when you're done talking. You would never say

248
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 8: it in the middle of a sentence. And that's because

249
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 8: it instead exclusively serves to mark the end of what

250
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 8: you have to say. Now, we usually do this through

251
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 8: boundary marking tones, where we raise or lower a pitch

252
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 8: to indicate the end of a sentence, but some dialects

253
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 8: of English, like valley Girls speak only and in rising tones,

254
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 8: so it's more necessary to find some other way to

255
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 8: make that distinction. Certain languages already do this by instead

256
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 8: having a boundary marking syllable. For example, ancient Greek used

257
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 8: the particle dead to mark the beginning of a new

258
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 8: sentence or clause. That's exactly what American Valley girls have

259
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 8: started doing with the sound. They created the first ever

260
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 8: boundary marking syllable in the English language, which helps them

261
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 8: communicate better while still maintaining up talk. Usually, when you

262
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 8: talk like this, that sounds always rising, so it's hard

263
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 8: to use tone boundaries to tell when a sentence is ending.

264
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 8: But not anymore, because we have a new syllable.

265
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: That's fascinating. As a guy who studied language in a

266
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: couple of classes in college, that's really interesting.

267
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 7: It was a linguist on meth.

268
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what's else is interesting. It's funny. Yeah.

269
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 2: That was obviously edited and sped up so that it

270
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: would be at the breakneck pace of the twenty first century.

271
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: But we played some tapes the earlier. Oh, it was

272
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: Megan Kelly's screed against the woke transgender crap that Taylor

273
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: Swift in effect had endorsed by endorsing Kamala Harris. But

274
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: it was the typical example of you got to have

275
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: the quick cut edit to eliminate every pause, and then

276
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: there's got to be background music constantly, because I can't

277
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: pay attention to merely really interesting speech without backup background music,

278
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: and because that's omnipresent now in the web. And they

279
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: had to change the how do you processing of Meghan

280
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: Kelly's voice, like every six seconds or so to make

281
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: it more treublier than off in the left channel or whatever,

282
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: just because I'm such a neat cerebrally that I can't

283
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: pay attention for more than six seconds unless somebody throws

284
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: a new flavor at me.

285
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm trying to keep my kids from being

286
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: programmed that way. But it's hard because that's just all

287
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: of modern entertainment. Their movies, their TV shows are music,

288
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: they're everything.

289
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 7: Yeah.

290
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a it's a competition for attention that

291
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: happens to be ruining people's brains more and more.

292
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 4: I sound like an old man when I complain about

293
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 4: these things. I hate background music in my videos.

294
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree anyway.

295
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's it.
