Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of Tell You What, So Dubs.
Somebody invented something that could come in handy for a
lot of people. I mean for a lot of people
that really like food and maybe when it comes to food,
they could be a little spicy.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, so a team of researchers they created this artificial
tongue that can quickly detect spice levels in their food.
I guess you just put whatever you're about to eat
on this tongue that has like a little pat on it,
and it'll tell you if it's spicy or not. Which
is really weird because as I was looking at this,
I'm like, somebody's going to make out with this thing?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Can I ask?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, why wouldn't they just make like a spoon that
you put whatever it is on it. It doesn't have
to look like a tongue.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
That makes too much sense.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It could be anything. It can be like just a
little it could be a fork. Yeah, it could be
just a little stick. It doesn't have to look like
a tongue.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's so Weird's something you use in a litmus test?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, you just dip it in there and then you
pull it out and whatever, and then you, but instead.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
It looks like does it curl and move like a tongue?
Did you look?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I think it just stays right there. It says our, Well,
it is flexible, because it says our flexible artificial tonge
holds tremendous potential and spicy sensation.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And this is millions of dollars of research. I mean,
there has to be a ton for it to detect
the level of spice or whatever. So it'll detect like
a ghost pepper all this and then what does it do?
Does it tell you, like it gives you a reading
a hot level or something or.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
So basically what they did is they took so they
compared it to people that were in this test, like, hey,
eat this ghost pepper, and they like did the results
side by side, and it's basically like spot on.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So why what's the point of having this Because most
people they can't have super spicy food, they just avoid
it altogether.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, so when you go to a restaurant, Oh, hang on,
you imagine the first This.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Is so pointless. It's so useless because you're right, anybody
who wants to eat spicy food, they're gonna eat the
spicy food they're gonna try the spicy food. They're gonna
do it. They're gonna do the thing. But people who
are kind of like, I don't know, it might be
a little too spicy, they'll just opt for things that
aren't spicy. Why why bother with this? This is so
much mine, so much time and so much research, and
it just sounds like some kind of random idea that
(02:24):
somebody cooked up while they were high.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Probably Wow, I mean she's got a.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Actually there are many points in there. I'm just dissecting
all of them in my brain. Is this is it
hollowed out? Like do you put it on your tongue
and dip it in there?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
You just for your tongue.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I think they did say that they're working on one
that you put on your tongue and then you put
it on.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And it'll tell you. And I'm like, what's the point
why your tongue will tell you? I'm just the sweat.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
This snowflake society can't even taste their own spicy food anymore?
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
You go through life and you know what's palatable and
what's not as it's part of life, it's part of.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
The human experience. You know, if we were wild, little
animals out in the forest. We'd taste a plant and
we'd say, Oh, that tastes bad. I'm not gonna eat
it anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Do that.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Just do that, live your life.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
We fall down and we scratch ourselves. We learned that
that hurts, and we try not to do that.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
You know what I mean, Wow, it really hurts when
I skin my knee on gravel. I'm going to try
to not do that anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Or if you're young and dumb and typically male, you
just keep doing it all the time in it or
because it's so much fun, and then doing whatever you're
doing that sometimes creates that atmosphere, that scenario.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
And then eventually your frontal lobe develops and you figure
out you don't like that.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Not always, I mean from an early age you're told, oh,
it's spicy. Like right now we're telling Lena, like when
we have spicy food for dinner, We're like, oh, you
can't have this, it's spicy. Does she understand?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Probably not letter tasted anyway?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So well, depending on what.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
It is, I don't think want to give her, you know,
a California reaper or whatever they call those things.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
What is it. Yeah, well, I'm sorry the Carolina California Reaper.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Hi, the California Reaper reaping, well, I don't know, it's
like and then the Carolina Reaper though, that sounds that
sounds bad Carolina. I don't even know where California Reaper
came from. It sounds like it's sing show tunes or something.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, Carolina Reaper sounds that does sound serious?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Well they are, I've had it.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, well you had the jelly bean that tasted like
a Carolina Reaper too, and even.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, no, no, I don't, I don't. I can do.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I can do spicy food. I'm juhammed, get kind of
bored with it, seriously, Like I just.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't know what point.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I was just suspicious of when we ate those spicy
jelly beans and you got the Carolina Reaper one. I
was just suspicious of what you.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I ate it, I know, I put it in, I
chewed on and I was told to chew on it.
I stuck my tongue out. It was it's chewed and
it was done, and I hawked her back and ate it.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I know, And you had no reaction. I think that
you had no reaction. But then I think you when
you were driving home. You probably cried the whole way home.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I drove home probably an hour after we did that
little taste test.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I think you held it in.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Why are you suspicious of everything?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Because nobody else who hired you, nobody has no reaction
to Carolina Reaper?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well because it was in a jelly bean, a jelly bean,
it wasn't really real.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Would you be able to eat a fall on? Just
take a bite of a Carolina Reaper reaction?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
And I did react. I think I think they're pretty
scorching hot.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Can I see that?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Can you see it? I don't have one on me
right now. You won't get one if you want. If
there's one in the no, you know what if you
want to go to the store. Maybe I don't care.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I kind of want to see it.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Well, let's just not do it today. Why not because
I remember not really liking it. I remember not really
liking it. I don't who eats a California Reaper? Here
I go again, a California Reaper just for fun? I
mean people do, but I'm not one of those people.
The jelly bean, It's like, I thought that was fairly benign.
I thought all the jelly beans we had are fairly benign.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You cried, I did.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, it was really spicy.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, I'm not saying I didn't feel it. It was
just wasn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
It was funny when we did that because I was
really early on and nobody knew that I was pregnant yet.
Now we can tell this story, but nobody knew I
was pregnant yet, And it was funny because our boss
Greg wanted us to do this this goofy jelly bean
thing where we taste all these spicy jelly beans, and
you were the only person that knew at the time.
I think, oh, yeah, right, or did you? Yeah, you
guys did you didn't know yet?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I didn't yet.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So Chris had just figured it out because like he
just figured it out. Well, I knew, Yeah, it was
so early on, Like nobody else knew.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Your milk.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
So wait a minute, let's put this in respect to
what we're talking about now. The milk was there to
douse the flames. Yeah, yeah, it's not like she's pregnant
and developing.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
No, we had jelly beans and we had cups of
milk to try to tamp down the spice.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, Duve stole all the milk. Yeah, it was hot. Man.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
So if you look back on that video that we
posted of us trying these jelly bean flavors, look at
it with the context of, like, I had just recently
found out it's pregnant, and I'm really careful about what
I eat. I don't eat anything like I try not
to eat anything that's unnatural whatever. And so there was
this idea and then I have this horrible reaction to
this really spicy jelly bean. I was so overwhelmed with it.
(07:28):
And but I remember having a thought in my head
as I'm like gagging on this awful jelly bean, where
I was gonna say it is now a bad time
to tell you all that I'm pregnant.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
But I'm glad you did.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
It would have been a funny mortified Craig would have been
absolutely mortified. I shoul tell him.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
About Well, I didn't even think, like when we're doing
the test, Yeah, unless I did tell you, I wouldn't
do that. You know, you've been trying and wanting to
have a baby for a long time. Yeah, there's no
way I would let that go.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
And I think I think you did say something, yeah,
like when it was like just me.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I mean that, I just st a picture of myself saying,
you know, you've been working very hard to have a baby.
Let's not do anything, including eating even a jelly bean.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
But disturbed this you're so spicy. But I was fine,
They're a huh, they're all home whatever.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
To me, they were extremely sad.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Bad kicks to them.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Yeah, all right, back to.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Back, trying to sound like Johnny Macho. I just didn't
find it. Maybe I'm just brain dead it probably.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Maybe you need this tongue taster to tell you how
spicy stuff is there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You don't, don't word it like that. If somebody's just
tuning in, they don't know what we're talking about. Right now,
you're like, maybe you need this tongue taster.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Taste their three thousands.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
You don't need to buy one of these. Just get Dubs.
He'll taste all your food for your.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, bring on it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Bring Dubs to a restaurant. He'll dip his tongue in anything. Well, Okay,
appreciate you. Listen to this episode. Up, I tell you
get more on the iHeartRadio Appen anywhere you get your podcast.
Please rate, review, subscribe, download, chair and like thank you,
