Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gam Nation.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I don't know if you're aware of it, but you've
been singing and humming a particular I.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Thought you're talking about that. What nothing.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
You've been singing or humming a particular ad for about
the last three weeks, particularly the last few days, and
it's almost like it's your earworm, but you've also given
it to me. Are you aware that you're singing.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
This easy I'm oiling E. I'mo oiling by direct every.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Time you open your mouth, pretty much if you're not
on air, even sometimes while the songs are on, that's
what you're singing.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's the motorcyclist lament modern motorcycles. Now you can have
your stuff in your head, your helmet, but I don't.
I'm riding along and I'm thinking the easy deck.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
But not just when you're riding. You do it when
you're in here. Your song's wrong. When you're making a
cup of tea. I hear you doing it. It's a
full on ear jingle. It's catchy, but you don't want
that as an earworm. I don't want that as any.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You're complaining that it goes from no more oiling by directly.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
See, let's not dissect the words. I've heard nothing else
from you for a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Give you realize YouTube series you know, and forget Paul
Stanley from Kiss explaining the song? How did you come about?
Easy decades? So no more oiling by directly?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Your obsession is exhausting and you've been singing a NonStop
I'm trying to I'm it's time for you to get
rid of that earworm. And then just last night I
saw on a site called Science Quickly what an earworm
is and how you.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Can get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You're ready to hold hands and try, Brendan. Here's what
an earworm actually is.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
That a song seck in your head. Youre's how to
get it unstuck. According to science, the TLDR is that
you just have to chew gum. Scientists from the University
of Reading figured this one out, and it has to
do with something called sub vocalization. Basically, when you think
about lyrics or even just spoken words, something freaky is
going on in your subconscious. Even if you don't start
(01:54):
moving your jaw to sing along, either out loud or
under your breath, you're still sub kind just preparing yourself
to sing or see those words.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
So that's the thing. It's your body when you're thinking
of easy decking, your.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Vocal chords and all of.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
That is getting ready to sing the jingle, and so
it's always in your head, ready to go.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So this is what you do to stop it.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
In twenty fifteen, a study found that chewing gum can
help you get an earworm unstuck from your head. That's
probably because the jaw movement of chewing interrupts those nerves
that are trying to get us to practice singing the
song that we're hearing.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, so let's interrupt that thought process. I've got some
chewing gum here. You're ready to catch it? Yes, put
it in chew.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
It shouldn't you gum on air?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Well, you shouldn't have easy decking in your head constantly
when you're trying to focus on the whole class. Well, no,
I'm gonna have some. I'm gonna have bees too because
it's in my head too. So just rup the thought
and this is where it ends. You will never we've
broken the thought process.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'm not even going to say the words, but it's
gone from your head now. Feel released.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Actually, when I think about it, the chewing.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
You can't chew and sing that at the same.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I'm saying you can't chew gum and tap dance. You're
doing two things.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You can't chew gum and sing a tune in your head.
It's interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It's fascinating. What about this one? Dancing for a sweet?
Some more chewing.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You are a lost cause they can fleet lost.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Lost cause you are all right.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We're coming out.

fruit
