Speaker 1 (00:00):
So guess what you could win a Nobel Prize, So

(00:03):
jew will show and I know that sounds crazy. The
Nobel Prize is considered one of the most prestigious awards
that anybody awards, that anybody can get in their field.
It happens every year and it's given to people who
they say have had breakthroughs that are the greatest benefits
to humankind. Wow, okay, this year's Nobel Prize. Nobel Prizes
have been announced and the whole internet is making fun

(00:24):
of it because it reads more like the weirdest and
dumbest Insights in Science list than huge breakthroughs. How many
are they give out multiple a bunch? Yeah, So what
breakthroughs over this past year are the most important things
to happen to the human race? We'll go over it
so you can see just how far we haven't gone.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Or be inspired or be inspired.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's true because almost anybody can win one. I guess.
This year's Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded for a
man for persistently recording and analyzing the rate of growth
of one fingernail over a period of thirty five years.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Why yeah, that's literature.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
And he wrote about it I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
And he won a Nobel Prize for that. Yeah, why
doesn't even feel like literature?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Though? Where is the lick part?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Like I could see consistently texting somebody over and over
again until they respond.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Like, at least that way you're using words, and then
put it into a book and you can also war prize.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Hi? How boring of a read? Must that be? Too?
Just like it grew a little bit more today. For
thirty five years, I had to cut the hangnail. The
list of the twenty twenty five Nobel Prizes one of
the most prestigious awards that you can get, and this

(01:40):
year's list is going viral because of the weird things
that are on it. The Nutrition Prize was awarded to
researchers who determined that rainbow lizards prefer for cheese to
other varieties of pizza a lot. That was actually a
study that they did. Wait, there's little lizards don't even
eat pizza. Why were they eating pizza?

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Exactly animal cruelty, they're lactose and tolerance.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I don't think lizards are supposed to eat pizza. I
thought they eat crickets and stuff. But if you're going
to be hanging out with a rainbow lizard watching movies.
I guess, you know, to give them a for cheese pizza,
it doesn't feel okay, Yeah, they prefer that over other varieties.
Even pineapple pizza has got to be there. The actual
Nobel prizes that were how does that help you? Man?

Speaker 4 (02:27):
You know that that dude, that lizard what I'm so
probably the bloated rainbow lizard now's yeah, oh no.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
They have to go get funding for all these studies too.
If if I was a billionaire and people asking for
funding all the time and they're like, hey man, we
really want you to give like two million dollars to us.
What are you trying to figure out? Well, we're trying
to figure out what kind of pizza lizards like probly
probably be like yeah, let's see, I don't know sure,

(02:57):
So here's the money man. Yeah, here's the guy that
would do that.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Though.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, it's just a bunch of stoner scientists are like,
I should toetally see what kind of pizza is. It's like,
oh my god. The Nobel Prize for Pediatrics when to
a team that looked into what a nursing infant experience
is when their mother eats garlic.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
What how does that help as a society.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
It might see what the findings are.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
That one maybe maybe I could see. Maybe also just
seems kind of weird.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Where's the Maybe it does seem weird?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
But if you're looking at garlic, which actually does help
a lot of like help benefits and stuff, I just
wonder if it's like, you know how sometimes I mean,
the baby's not fully developed, so if there are certain
nutrients that it shouldn't be having yet, Like garlic is
pretty loaded with stuff. It's like with your harp and
so maybe he just wants to know how it's distributed
or it's gonna get garlic breath after it.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I need some to garlic.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I just don't want to know the findings that would
help me understand.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Going over the twenty twenty five Nobel Prizes that they've
handed out, the list is going viral because of the
ridiculous things that are on it. The prize in Biology.
The Nobel Prize for Biology went to a study that
determined cows painted with zebra like stripes were fifty percent
less likely to be bitten by flies. What I just

(04:19):
pictures of these scientists out there painting cows like zebras
and just watching how many flies bite them. But that
can't be good for the cow. Like what kind of
paint are you putting on a cow? That's good? You
can't paint them.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
The only thing this list tells me is that I
have potential to win a Nobel Prize.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Honestly, yeah, and I know pretty great about it.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Now it's curious, like I gotta s why I feel
like we could all be Nobel Prize winning scientists. The
Nobel Prize or Chemistry went to an experiment analyzing whether
eating teflon, you know the stuff that you put like
on pants to make it nonstick, whether eating teflon would
be an effective way to increase food volume without extra calories.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Oh wait, I thought, was like, didn't we find that
that was that that was not good for you?

Speaker 1 (05:05):
I think they say that it's bad for you no
matter what way, Like I.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Thought they stopped making certain pants with tough one for
a reason. It can't sound like the cheaper way to like,
if you want to lose a few, like you don't
have devote new Moore?

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Does eat deathline right make me sick?

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I won't eat. Perhaps one of the biggest Nobel Prizes
that everybody talks about is a Nobel Peace Prize. The
twenty twenty five Nobel Peace Prize was given to a
study that found that drinking alcohol sometimes improves a person
ability to speak in a foreign language. I guess the
world peace through alcohol. I don't know. Or does it

(05:39):
just like make you think that everything makes sense? I've
always thought when I was drunk and speaking to someone
wh doesn't think English, we kind of get each other,
you know, because we're both speaking our language, we're both drunk,
and we're just kind of vibing on the same you know,
the same level totally.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
You know, like all of a sudden, like you become
like Australian when they're Australian.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Hey mate. The Nobel Prize for Engineering went to a
team research how foul smelling shoes affect a good experience
with a shoe rack?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
What engineering?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
There's so many things going on in this world, then
Natalie give it to you.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Engineering. Yeah, so if you have stinky shoes on a
shoe rack, apparently the experience isn't as pleasant. At what
point do you figure that out?

Speaker 3 (06:17):
You're the engineer, Like, when do you decide to put
a stinky shoe up and make that a thing.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Anything else to do?

Speaker 2 (06:22):
No other ideas coming through your head.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's so crazy.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
The Nobel Prize for Physics was given to scientists who
looked into the properties of pasta sauce. Okay, this is
a Nobel Prize for physics, especially the phase transition that
leads to clumping, which can cause unpleasantness.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Clumping, what is it? Cat litter?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, so you don't want clumpy pasta sauce. Well, isn't
that that just the tomato? I have no idea, But
have you never made pasta sauce? Physics?

Speaker 3 (06:52):
So if you've made pasta sauce before, does that make
you a physicist?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah? Well, if it's clumped, I guess not. I don't know.
But anyway, they say clumping can lead to unpleasantness, and
that's the Nobel Prize for physics. So we're being trolled.
Guys are being trolled, So tell me why AI is
bad again

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
