Sam's voice is my favorite voice on SciShow Tangents, I love him

[@skeptiwolf5654]

That collection of hermit crabs is so hilariously awkward trying to pass off as a person. Adorable.

[@pierrechristen7221]

They almost got the truly rare "I tie Scishow Quiz show" pin, that one really make the collectors tremble in awe. :)

[@dynamicworlds1]

So close

[@veronicahaley3268]

I've only heard Sam's voice on Tangents until just now. My brain is confused

[@TPRJones]

I've watched HFS with Sam on it many times, but to me he still didn't look like himself. I finally realized it's because I've never seen him without a huge microphone covering most of his face.

[@zacm.2342]

That ad was well placed *just after the ad break point* "Welcome ba-" *AD* :P

[@armanke13]

Zac M., It's okay when I watched it. Maybe they moved it a bit after you point it out, 😅 Need seamless outro-intro to separate the ad. Or maybe like they've done with thought bubble transition.

[@elenagibbons4719]

Hah I got one too. Mine was “Wel-“ *AD* (it was for some all called Robinhood)

[@AnnikaOakinnA]

@@elenagibbons4719 Mine was the same, which meant upon my return I got "Come back!" in such a plaintive tone

[@BertGrink]

In my case it was "Welcome b" - AD - "Welcome back"

[@avsgriffy]

Mine too

[@TheLonghairedhippi]

That was the calmest, coolest delivery of an angry revenge threat ever. This guy needs a daytime Emmy.

[@s_mores]

Did we just witness the origin story of a super villain?

[@stormbob]

Sam is such an adorable little nugget.

[@ITILII]

oh yes just the most precious little one

[@Lin_The_Cat_]

Ikr? I love him 😭

[@ilovebats10]

Watching this from Fermilab, still didn't get the question right...

[@AngryKittens]

You're fired!

[@stephaniesummer2663]

Oof that’s rough

[@Aconitum_napellus]

That sounds like a pain.

[@nightshadekelly]

Lol

[@dickinsontanner]

Sam looks like Matt Damon and Taylor Lautner had a love child.

[@TP-tc7vp]

Can't unsee

[@llamafromspace]

Yeah, I see it.

[@AngryKittens]

And the love child grew up to be an artsy boy.

[@JennaGetsCreative]

Accurate! 😂

[@nightshadekelly]

OMG YES

[@belindaweber7999]

And a new Scishow Quiz Show rivalry begins! Sam deserves a rematch! 😂 Love Tangents too btw 😁

[@ProfessorRGB]

I totally lost my finger prints after chemo. 6 months later, I still have a hard time unlocking my phone. They’re slowly starting to come back though. No one believed me.

[@nexra0]

A sassy Stefan is the best Stefan.

[@amys3168]

Science talk, science talk, science talk, “has anyone pushed the table over?” I love Sam.

[@Tony-nl6pf]

Fun Fact: Monkeys also chew on millipedes to get high. It releases some kind of drug that makes them SUPER drunk and buzzed. They topple over, it's so funny to watch.

[@leeseoul5735]

Do the millipedes work for us as well?

[@TheSmilingFear]

Yeah Tony, I absolutely love chewing on millipedes and toppling over as I watch Monkeys get super drunk!

[@LeonardGreenpaw]

I think those are the same monkeys that they were talking about, they mentioned the drooling

[@teresaellis7062]

@@leeseoul5735 I wouldn't try it. Millipedes don't move very fast so they create a toxin to keep most critters from munching on them. In Western Washington we have really pretty almond-scented millipedes, black with yellow dots above each set of legs. The reason they smell like almonds? Their other name is cyanide millipedes. You might get a buzz or feel drunk, or you might feel something far worse.

The quiz show is simply my favorite thing y’all do. So funny and smart! I’ve watched them all a few times each. Make more faster!!

I love Sam's voice so much I had to watch this twice to take in what you guys were actually talking about😳❤️

[@jasper265]

As a Tangents fan watching this all this time later, I was totally rooting for the resident everyman!

[@nikkiwilliamson4665]

I love Sam! He’s my favourite on the podcast :) Love having him on quiz show too :)

[@thetrue_crvn]

I missed the scotch tape question cause I was too busy checking if I still have fingerprints cause I'm 2 months into chemo treatment.... FYI they're still there.

[@ProfessorRGB]

Jim Beam Gamer hope you keep yours. I lost mine. Also, hope everything else goes well, not just the fingerprints part.

[@stevenlarratt3638]

Nice to see these back... more more more!!!

[@DucBanal]

Do more of those : having a context (the game) and right after it an explanation (the quick "sci-show episode style") more "interesting but more importantly engaging. Thanks a lot for your work!

[@3possumsinatrenchcoat]

who is this child and why does he look 16

[@davidonfim2381]

Grrrrrrrrrr... this is one of my pet peeves- fluorescing under UV light means that something produces VISIBLE light. You do not need to be able to see UV to see fluorescence. In other words, the facts that chameleons have some UV-fluorescing bits, and that they are able to see in the UV does not mean that they use that UV-sensing ability to see the fluorescence. WE can see the fluorescence. If the fluorescing bits look any different to chameleons than they look to us, it is in that they look LESS conspicuous. Fluorescence ABSORBS UV light and reemits it as visible light, so in the UV fluorescent things look a bit darker. Similarly, no- fluorescence almost certainly does not play a role in sexual selection (in parrots, or scorpions, or anything else), except to make some (visible light) colors slightly brighter during the day. Non-human animals have not invented a way to produce UV light, so fluorescent animals look exactly the same to other animals as they look to us. In the day the fluorescence is mostly washed out and you don't notice it because everything else is so bright, and at night there's not enough (UV) light to make anything fluoresce... so you don't notice it either.

[@keriezy]

Yes and no. From my understanding some animals can "see" colors we can't. We see because of cones and rods. Not all animals have the same cone to rod ratio as us.

[@sthngo]

@@keriezy Thats not the argument he was making tl;dr Flourenscence turns incoming UV light into visible light, so you can only see flourescent bits in the visible spectrum. They do not reflect UV, they turn it into visible light. Thats why you can see it under UV light. That doesn't make it glow in UV, bc thats just not what that does

[@matthewchapman3716]

Scishow literally did a video on this a few days ago!

[@davidonfim2381]

@@keriezy See sthngo's reply, it's spot on. In addition to that though, the cone to rod ratio has nothing to do with seeing different colors. Cones allow you to see color and fine details, rods allow you to see the amount of light (ie. to see in black and white) but with less detail, and the ratio between them just determines how well an animal can see during the day vs. night. Animals who can see colors we can't can do so because they have completely different cones. Humans as a species have three types of cones that detect three spectra of light, while other animals have four or more types of cones which allow them to see into the UV or whatnot.

[@herranton]

@@davidonfim2381 Re op point 2:If you have UV cones then you can see reflected UV light. _Fluorescing is a different phenomenon entirely._ If you had UV cones, you would just see UV things as a different color, it wouldn't be all lit up. There is a difference between something that reflects UV and something that absorbs and then re-emits a photon. Your statement that animals that can see UV see things the same as we do because of the fact that only a small amount of solar radiation is UV doesn't take into account that they may be more sensitive to UV light. Bees, for instance, don't have red receptors, so that part of the spectrum is totally invisible to them, which would boost their sensitivity to UV, as it isn't competing with other colors. Or, if parrots were to have an abnormally high amount of UV cones to RGB cones, they could certainly be able to see the _reflected_ UV light in broad sunlight. Heck, even some human women are tetrachomatic, though not in UV. Their perception of color between green and red is significantly different (or rather, more sensitive to shades) than the rest of us.

[@OlanKenny]

This was a brilliant episode

[@JohnDangcilGeekWere]

Losing the ability to sneeze must have been what that weird sneezing doctor had happen

[@nenufae7499]

Sam's making it so cozy to watch

[@thatcorbyguy]

Are we seriously not going to address the hours of Stefan and the rest of the team absolutely losing their mind when going through absurd numbers of takes when filming Prize Zone? That's the Blooper video we NEED!!

[@dillonbreedlove5841]

I love these quizzes there my favorite part of existence!!!

[@crysstoll1191]

This was really well done.

[@GloriaNak]

Hank, I am currently going through Chemo and I can confirm that it does effect your finger prints. My i phone doesn't recognize my thumb print at present.

[@ProfessorRGB]

GloriaNak same here, buddy. Hope everything goes well. I started to get my fingerprints back about 4 months after a mega dose of chemo.

[@vashtirebong7697]

"Mom and other Harriet, Im sorry" hahaha

Hank, you ought to give Sam a raise. That kid rocks.

A semi-related question: Why when losing hair,from chemo(or other reasons),is it only on the scalp?Why not facial or body hair?

[@Lolibeth]

Oh, you lose hair all over with chemo. Eyelashes, leg hair, pubic, etc. Just, scalp and face hair first, rest later so it can come down to how long a course of chemotherapy is

[@IceMetalPunk]

Will we ever get a video version of Tangents? Even just a low-quality As We Record style? I love it, but I'm much more of a visual person and audio-only things have trouble keeping my attention.

[@SciShow]

The plan is to start livestreaming them for Patrons, but that has not been set up just yet. Hopefully that will be happening in a couple of weeks! www.patreon.com/scishow

[@amandastuart5712]

Thank you for the request! Loving the video format

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@amandastuart5712 I like to think (though I know it's not true) that my request personally helped bring about the new channel 😁 No, but seriously, I also am loving the video Tangents and am so thankful to Hank, Ceri, and Sam for making it exist! 💗

[@stvp68]

I thought all matter is 95% empty space-so there should be plenty of space for a bunch of empty hermit crabs

“mom and other Harriet”

[@illiengalene2285]

Yay! I actually knew 2 things, the last from BBC documentary and the fingerprint thing from a crime show.😁

OK I don't have twitter, but am really enjoying Sci Show Tangents. And Sam is almost always my favorite part. Tuna can! (Pregnancy episode)

[@just-a-silly-goofy-guy]

Do cost ineffective items next

[@avsgriffy]

Watching this (again) many moons later, I feel a little better for Sam since he won Season One of SciShow Tangents.

[@KenKopin]

Checks end credits... Yep! Ceri's getting a raise!

[@virglibrsaglove]

I noticed light emission by Band-Aid wrappers as a little kid. Like the tape. For whatever reason I was opening one in the dark and saw that it glowed. So, of course I did it again and again. As long as the Band-Aid wrapper stayed sticky I could close and open it and every time it emitted light. Who knew that I was x-raying my fingers a little every time.

[@joshuarolfsmeyer9496]

Has hank lost his fingerprints and committed a crime yet?

[@wsy2304]

The scotch tape experiment is interesting... Because I observe it quite often when I peel the sticky tape off my photograph film (yes the physical photographic emulsion) in the darkroom... At normal atmosphere. It manifests it self as a very faint blue along where the sticky tape detaches off the film surface.

[@mr.chaoticgood1469]

I guessed C for the last one , and I was confident. So happy!🤗

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

1:57 My face exploded after hearing that.

[@murphygreen8484]

Thank you @physicsgirl I actually got one question correct

[@horsesandsmilesable]

I miss this show so much

[@Slattery777]

Hanks face @13:40 haha

[@ciaphascyne8866]

"A Gentle Hate" is that new Pete Seeger/RATM crossover cover band!

[@wschippr1]

I knew the scotch tape one because it was used on an episode of bones to X-ray something when the power was out.

[@pindergill119]

love the show keep it up. also the host looks like funeral director lol

[@christophergaspar6520]

that commercial break was neatly placed although they missed a second

[@EmperorHelix]

I learned the millipede thing from the Animal Planet show "The Most Extreme." I think the episode was "Medics"

[@elenagibbons4719]

I think elderly people and nurses can also be hard to get a finger print from. With elderly people, it’s because they’ve been alive so long and I guess the cells just wear off eventually. And with the nurses, it’s because they wash their hands so much so the finger printers “rub off” essentially.

[@Phaeton667]

Someone didn't watch Physics Girl's video on band aids for the tape question :P

[@eaterdrinker000]

Nice reference. And reverence.

[@dezmondsunflowerviii8396]

You still make these?? Yes!!

[@MrAmptech]

I was guessing red-Blood is red when oxygenated, Iron Oxide is red.

[@TheMokelembembes]

Or Sam might be a cuttlefish pretending to be some hermit crabs pretending to be a person :D

[@JoaoPessoa86]

I actually got an ad before the final question

[@lexiridenour324]

We should add the shock pen... John would be proud

[@ginger-ale7818]

HANK WILL NEVER LEARN

[@knewledge8626]

I watch this video because the title seemed kind of scary. Anyway, I knew the answer to all these questions before they even ask them. Unfortunately AFTER they asked them I didn't have a clue.

[@TONOCLAY]

Thank you no man's sky for teaching me the answer to question 1

[@borttorbbq2556]

Hank won? Wow that's a surprise

[@keriezy]

I clean for a living and if I get comet, ajax, or other bleach things on my fingers the pad skin peels and my phone will not recognize my prints for a week or two. Its crazy. I figured it out after it happened the third time. Of course chemicals are not really made for skin, but I'm talking just touching the stuff not necessarily cleaning without gloves (which I don't do, but holes happen).

[@teresaellis7062]

When Sam talked about hermit crabs taking up homes in him I thought he was referring to the character from 'Oathbringer' from 'The Stormlight Archive' by Brandon Sanderson. The man is made up of cremlins, crab-like creatures native to the planet. Think a bunch of hive-mind creatures working together to create a human-sized person.

[@SnowblindOtter]

Crab people, crab people, taste like crab talk like people.

[@Zeldaschampion]

4:25 I guess the buns finally came out of the oven.

You'll just said that it was about colour and light. Yet you both picked the other 2 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@thestruggleisreal9626]

This is a bit of a tricky question cause oxygen does become metallic under intense pressure just... 96 GPa, instead of the 10 GPa it takes to becomes the epsilon oxygen the question mentioned. Hydrogen becomes metallic at 450 GPa, which is likely what takes place at the center of Jupiter!

[@zacharytoth1065]
