00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:56.520
Haha, you suck. It is time to leave your worries
10
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.759
outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel
11
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:05.799
Mallley along with Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Thank you
12
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:14.480
for joining us today. Today is like our Oscars. We
13
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.200
specialize in stupid here inside the Treehouse. So this is
14
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:23.719
like our Oscars. The twenty twenty five IG Nobel Prizes
15
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.920
are here. The IG Nobel Prize is like the Nobel Prize,
16
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.719
but it's for the weirdest and dumbest things science did
17
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:37.000
over the last year. So right up our alley and
18
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:37.760
this shows.
19
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.719
So it's not the Darwin Awards. This is stupid science.
20
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.920
Yes, So the IG Nobel Prizes are very much an
21
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.879
offshoot of the Nobel Prizes some of the same categories
22
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.879
just stupid, which is where, which is where we live.
23
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.599
The Darwin Awards are separate for just general stupidity, this
24
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:05.599
is stupid the name of science. This year's winners include,
25
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:12.520
in no particular order, The Nutrition Prize was awarded to
26
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:18.319
researchers who determined rainbow lizards prefer four cheese to other
27
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:23.680
varieties of pizza. And yes, pineapple pizza was included in
28
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:29.439
the study. So not only was this study so specific
29
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.479
they went through various forms of pizza, but it was
30
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:36.120
so specific that it was limited to just one type
31
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.080
of lizard, the rainbow lizard. I don't think it involved
32
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:40.360
any other type of lizard.
33
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.479
Which also means somebody funded the study. Mm hm.
34
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.080
That's and that's what's beautiful about these things is someone's
35
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.400
going to fund them and all, and there's reasons for it,
36
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.680
legitimate reasons for it. We're just not interested in those
37
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.400
legitimate reasons. We're really interested in the surface level stupid.
38
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:10.520
Yeah, So that just it makes me believe that there's
39
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.479
like a bunch of like scientists in a room that
40
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.520
just got really good weed that they just developed. Right,
41
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.199
They're like, what can we do you want to feed
42
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.919
a lizard pizza? Like, yeah, what kind of lizards a rainbow.
43
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.080
And what kind of pizza?
44
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.919
All of them? And I like how even rainbow lizards
45
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:34.039
know that pineapple doesn't go on a pizza. I mean.
46
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.360
Did they Did they try a supreme but.
47
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:49.520
Possibly pan thin crust, yeah, hand tossed Chicago Detroit dish, Yeah,
48
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:50.080
I mean.
49
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.919
Detroit style, Oh, the Detroit style? Or did they go
50
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.960
super sacrilegious like cheeseburger pizzas or Mexican pizzas.
51
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:01.639
They was going to find out these rainbow lizards were
52
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.400
from Indian and vegetarian, so we'll just take the four
53
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.479
cheese please, please, That's that's all we want.
54
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.319
So yeah, I mean that's just that's just the Nutrition Prize.
55
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.159
Mm hmmm.
56
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:20.959
We've also got the Pediatrics Prize. The Pediatrics ig Nobel
57
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.720
Prize went to a team who looked into what a
58
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:31.120
nursing infant experiences when their mother eats garlic. They could
59
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.079
have gone a number of directions on that, like they
60
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.720
could have gone more severe on what the mother was
61
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.279
eating to see the effects of the child, like Dave's
62
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:47.279
insanity sauce for something super spicy, or like Raja's mom's vindaloo. Yeah,
63
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.560
but they just they just went garlic and what was.
64
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.800
Do we have the results of that of the study?
65
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.439
Again, you were focusing too much on the science side
66
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.759
of this. I have only dug so deep to get
67
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.120
to the surface of the actual prize winner. I don't
68
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.519
know the point of their research because if I did,
69
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.199
that would ruin the fun. Yeah, I just want to
70
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:13.240
know if it's like, you know, infant winced when garlic minced.
71
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:14.839
You know, I don't know. I just want to know
72
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.480
if there was a little doctor suicism in there.
73
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.120
Or maybe or maybe tasting the garlic, the baby, you know,
74
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.480
went up and flames and that's how they found out.
75
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:25.519
Maybe it was a vampire.
76
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.759
Yeah, that's what I was baby vampires.
77
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:30.920
Maybe that's what it was. You had to test to see.
78
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.160
It's the new test because according to the federal government,
79
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.480
they don't want to test babies for stuff as much anymore.
80
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.519
So now you need more home remedies to test to
81
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.360
see if your baby has vampirism. So you gotta you
82
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.959
gotta find creative ways to do it. Autism, autism, vampisms.
83
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.920
You know, RFK is not giving you a vaccine for
84
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.879
that just not gonna happen. You gotta figure that out
85
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:55.319
on your own.
86
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.759
Just drive a stake through your kid's hard.
87
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.240
Well, what do you find out there? Because that would
88
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.319
kill a human. Also, I don't think any of us
89
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:18.920
elected any president to nominate Blade as the head of
90
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:19.759
that department.
91
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:29.160
I would much rather have Blade sling, So yes, he's.
92
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:39.439
The Chemistry Prize went to experiments analyzing whether eating teflon
93
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.839
would be an effective way to increase food volume without
94
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:44.759
extra calories.
95
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:45.639
Say how this.
96
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:50.839
Has real world implications? It just sounds horrifically dangerous?
97
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.279
Can can you read that again?
98
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:58.600
Happily? The twenty twenty five Ignobil Prize for Chemistry went
99
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:03.319
to experiments alyzing whether eating teflon would be an effective
100
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.600
way to increase food volume without extra calories. This is
101
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:13.879
how bad the obesity epidemic is in our country.
102
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.399
So okay, yeah, again you're going to science side. I'm
103
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:19.759
going to the science side of it because that's just
104
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.800
my Indian nerdy brain, Like it could mean if they
105
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:27.879
if it's like teflon particles attached to food to increase
106
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.839
the weight of that food without adding calories. Kind of uh,
107
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.800
sounds like a lot of cancer but sounds brilliant at
108
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:35.360
the same time.
109
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:37.639
Cancer, but a six pack.
110
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:41.439
I'm full, but I have tumors.
111
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.399
Yeah, or it just coats the stomach where you know,
112
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.720
they can't absorb all the fat, and then yeah, immediate
113
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:50.279
weight loss.
114
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:51.839
It just slides right through.
115
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.240
It's like it's like remember when they came out with olestra.
116
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.319
Oh yeah, oh yes, oh yeah on.
117
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.319
The bag everyone got leaky butt syndrome.
118
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.079
Yeah, on the bag it was like it caused anal leakage.
119
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:12.519
And then it's like recommended to wear dark jeans. I mean,
120
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:15.959
trus I like potato chips, but I don't putting on
121
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.800
a pound or two if I'm not a duke in
122
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:18.360
my pants.
123
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.279
Yeah, there's a hell of a trade off there.
124
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.079
Yeah, it was funny. Fat free chips are, but you
125
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.439
can't eat a lot of them because, no.
126
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.559
That ruins the whole point of it. The whole point
127
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.279
was to be able to eat until we throw up.
128
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.799
That's that's what we want, right, We want to eat
129
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:45.039
as much as we want until we're full and nauseous,
130
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.120
Like we do want Thanksgiving practically and not have to
131
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.200
worry about any you know, caloric consequences.
132
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.679
Yeah, I tried it. I tried. I tried the illustra once.
133
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.399
I think we all did at least once. Oh I
134
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.440
just when I say two thousands were a crazy time.
135
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.799
I'm just saying I'm very Johnny dangerously when I say
136
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.559
once once. Yeah, because I ate with my with my sandwich,
137
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.799
I was like, you know what, we got fat free chips, baby,
138
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:17.279
We're living in the future. I got a handful of them,
139
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.039
just like I would do with my regular sandwich, you know.
140
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.720
And a couple of hours later I was like, hmm,
141
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.440
that is a rough feeling there. And then after that
142
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.320
I was like, oh no, I don't need to go
143
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:33.960
in for an oil change every now and again.
144
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.159
I'm telling you, man, the early two thousands were a
145
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.519
hell of a time. I mean, you had to go
146
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.240
around wearing dark jeans in case you ate too much
147
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.799
o Lester fat free chips and had the anal leakage,
148
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.200
and we were still trying to decide which DVD for
149
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.559
Matt was going to win the day. Was it going
150
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.480
to be Blu Ray or the HD DVD ended up
151
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.039
being Blue Ray?
152
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.960
M hm, So Teflon doesn't surprise me. I'm thinking, like,
153
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.279
if Olestra gave you wiky butt syndrome. What does teflon
154
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.759
give you.
155
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.679
Hard shiny guts? I mean, if you think about it
156
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:18.120
from a logical standpoint, I get it right. Teflon is slick, right.
157
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.960
I mean we use it for our cooking surfaces already,
158
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:25.360
So it stands to reason if food doesn't stick to
159
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.720
your teflon coated cooking pan, then what would happen if
160
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:34.799
your insides were teflon lined? Therefore, the food would not stick,
161
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:39.080
And like Trey said, your body becomes an intestinal luge.
162
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.159
Yes, but it also wouldn't digest, so you're just gonna
163
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:47.080
eat it and about the same thing, but no calories
164
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.120
and dead in eight days.
165
00:10:52.279 --> 00:11:01.399
A nonstick colon sounds really dangerous.

dot com. Now is one of the best times of
172
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.159
the year to get that roof inspection scheduled because it's
173
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:34.639
not quite as hot. Storm season is waning some and
174
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.200
Daniel and his team have even more time to go
175
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.080
to your home and take a look around to see
176
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.879
the things you may need or even may want.
177
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.679
Right Dan, we talk about this every year.
178
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.840
This is the perfect opportunity for you to take some time,
179
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.519
call us out, have us look over the roof, your
180
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.000
your it's your windows, your screens, you know, just do
181
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:58.320
a good once over on your property because you're not
182
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.279
looking at it the same way we do. And so
183
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.960
when we get up there, we're looking at penetration points, flashings.
184
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.360
We're looking at the common wind areas that are going
185
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.759
to get blown off your hips, the edges of your eves.
186
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.360
You know, these are the things that we look at
187
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.600
as professionals that you may never see because you're looking
188
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:19.480
at a house and all.
189
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:23.120
You see is the house. We see the details, and
190
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:24.000
so that's.
191
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:24.559
Why it's important.
192
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.799
It's a perfect time we can come out, do some
193
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.600
repairs if necessary, reseal some items, you know, get you ready,
194
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.919
because believe it or not, here we go. We're fixing
195
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.679
to b in fall and winners right around the corner.
196
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.159
So don't yeah, yeah, keep that in mind. Because Daniel
197
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.720
Cook is sort of like Game of Thrones holding that sword,
198
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:47.320
looking out into the wilderness and saying brace yourselves. Winter
199
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.159
is coming and he wants to help you get ready
200
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:53.399

215
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:47.679
inside the Treehouse, we are going through the twenty twenty
216
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:53.120
five ig No Bell Prizes for all the stupidities science
217
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:57.000
offered up over the last year. So far we have
218
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.519
gone through the Pediatrics Prize, the Biology Prize. All right, No,
219
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.080
we have not done the Biology Prize. We've done the
220
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:08.360
chemistry prize, the pediatrics prize, and the nutrition prize. Now
221
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:12.320
let's do the biology prize that went to a study
222
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:17.320
that determined cows painted with zebra like stripes were fifty
223
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.039
percent less likely to be bitten by flies.
224
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.600
Hmm. Now that's an interesting study, I can.
225
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.519
Yeah.
226
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.519
I mean so a couple layers to that. One, first
227
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.840
of which is they only wanted to see if they
228
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.080
were being bitten by flies, not by anything else. They're
229
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.919
only focused on the flies for some reason, okay. And
230
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.679
then the other part was only the cows that they
231
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:45.600
had painted to look like zebras.
232
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.120
Yes, and that leads me to believe it had more
233
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:53.559
to do with the paint than the than the configuration
234
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:57.559
of the stripes. That cow smells like paint, let's not
235
00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.120
bite it.
236
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.840
And maybe it's maybe that study was not so much
237
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.240
geared towards learning about the cow portion of receiving the
238
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.600
fly bite, but maybe learning about why flies bite at all.
239
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:10.879
So maybe that's it.
