some advice @rocketmoney, stop being SO strict about what people have to say in their bullet points, this ad spot sounds so scripted that it could have been a sitcom with laugh track the shopify ad spot was genuine because hank was able to actually relate to the product and the unscripted nature sold the product much better

[@arc4705]

pleaseeee never stop making tangents, the vibes are always incredible

As a french speaker i always get a kick out of the etymology segment. Makes me think of all sorts of connections I’ve never seen before between english and french words

[@DrewSprague1218]

Linguist Bernard Cerquiglini once asserted that English was just poorly pronounced French.

[@jangschoen1019]

@@DrewSprague1218 With some German, I assume.

[@dstinnettmusic]

Going just by counting the origins of words by country, it’s roughly split evenly between Old English (so Germanic origin), old French (via the Norman invasion in 1066), and Latin (through the church, and also a lot of Latin was probably snuck in via French), the rest of it is Greek (also via the church) or come from other languages (ranging from other European countries to the pre-Germanic Celtic culture of the islands), and a few words that derive from names (like occupation words. The smith in blacksmith shares an origin with the surname Smith..because Germans are both amazing and terrible at naming things) All that said, going by the words that are most commonly used, English is more Germanic than it gets credit for most of the time.

[@phenethylamines]

I mean like 2/3 of English vocabulary is either French or Latin. Still a Germanic language linguistically, but with lots of romance words thrown in.

[@WowUrFcknHxC]

​@phenethylamines it's about 1/3, but if you limit it to the most common words it's much less. Like 1/5 or so. Most of the Romance borrowings are in formal speech.

[@Bluesmudge]

Sam would be the adorable hulk, a giant hermit crab with a repurposed piece of plastic as a shell.

[@wollant54]

I am not a fan of ad reads but if it means keeping tangents around I will not even skip them.

[@gretl01]

And the Money Dummy one was so good this week!!

[@gamesman0118]

I'd be the OLD Hulk complaining about my back and how everything is too expensive. Hank would be the Multi-tasking Hulk.

[@wyattlewis4069]

Glue would be the "inseparable hulk."

[@StigmataTickles]

I guess for solder you have to determine whether the intermetallic bond is beyond the scope of "adhesion" because the lead and tin is actually molecularly bonded with the metal, not just stuck to it on the surface.

[@Toodle-doo]

Yes, this. And the purpose of soldering is not only to hold the pieces together but to also form a solid electrical connection. To me, its much more than glue.

[@LauraPalay]

The Indescribable Hulk. I think there should totally be a comic about a baby hulk called The Adorable Hulk. It'd be great!

[@elainebelzDetroit]

"Inside of the bottle is different than outside of the bottle." Science communicator gold.

Ive never been able to watch one of these as its being premiered...you guys are awesome, just sayin. I wish you guys did more of these, they are always great!!

[@gangefors]

6 minutes in and I feel that this is one of the better tangents I've listened to. Laughing and giggling like crazy. A really great poem as well. So good rhymes. ❤

[@athanatic]

I'd love to be the "credible" Hulk, but I think I would be the Whimsical Hulk.

[@zach1425]

Imma go ahead and call dibs on The Insufferable Hulk. The more I annoy you, the stronger I get.

[@zach1425]

Welp. Hank got it before me. Nevermind

[@DrewSprague1218]

As you were talking about the blood glue being like bakelite, I decided I really want a blood glue fountain pen, much like Hank wants a blood glue record.

[@robnol84]

6:13 oof that hurt welding does use some filler but the point is to fuse the two pieces of metal together not to use the filler to bond the two. I love the show but I had to point that one out, y’all do a great job and I love that y’all have fun doing it.

[@Tannerbot2k]

Hank is the erudite hulk

[@awestruckobject]

I remember at the National Gallery of Victoria I was able to witness Basse Stittgen’s record made from cow blood, which played the the sound of a cow's heartbeat.

[@SpoodyFlopp]

30:49 It was called the Pony Express. Literal 12-year-olds transported the mail by themselves on horseback, often fatally.

[@wulfrir8607]

Please don't stop these podcasts ever. They get me through long work days and you all have great chemistry. Sharing with my friends, always

[@mayaenglish5424]

I hope "Microblood's fine, everybody knows that" goes viral with zero explanation. 😂

[@alangriffin8146]

Fact of the podcast for me was learning how thread lock works. Super cool!

[@kassywilson7292]

I love the concept of solder as glue! it hits all the buttons, doesn't it?

[@Azerinth]

Ashes to ashes, goop to goop.

[@WantedVisual]

Fun fact: cash on delivery does still exist, at least in Germany, and is offered regularly by online retailers. They also have the option of sending a letter postage due, though that's a bit more complicated. I do know we offer it at work under certain circumstances, and it freaks people out every single time, even the ones born in the 1920s.

[@sportsfreak33393]

Hank could be the credible hulk spouting true facts like his d20 character

[@MossyBear]

I can't be the only nerdfighter with Jenna Marbles brain rot who had earworm this whole episode

[@danieltyler4023]

"micro-blood is fine, everyone knows that." - Hank. Well, I couldn't agree more.

[@adamphilip1623]

There's no glue in welding, it's all melted metal as is solder, welding bonds by melting the filler material and the workpieces together, the filler material doesn't adhere the two workpieces together it becomes part of them.

[@AndreVandal]

This was a really funny episode, thank you for making me grin the entire show

[@aquamage10]

At this point Hank I think if you had a blood plastic doorknob you would be under arrest

[@DavidDylanFisher]

One sort-of use of blood glue: I visited an old frontier-era log cabin with what looked like a concrete floor. According to the curator, it was made by spilling ox blood onto raw dirt, tamping down and drying the resulting blood-mud. Perhaps sawdust or straw was added as well?

[@spacekee9071]

oh! there's something a little shocking about being the first person thanked at the end section for asking questions. good episode :)

[@Zack-sf9sl]

I have this book i got from a random book shop about artistic ingredients like glue, paints, and primers. The book is yellowed and smells super old. It describes early processes in great detail out of various plants and animals. The book is titled "The artists's methods and materials" by Maria Bazzi with foreword by John Skeaping.

[@ZedaZ80]

4:27 easy, it's odd glue, plus or minus 1

[@lutilda]

I NEED the indecisive uv glue for my stickers!! 😂

[@mxbranesic3933]

Hank has got to be The Inimitable Hulk

[@sarahfilep]

Google says: The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends In 2012, the Flaming Lips released a limited edition version of their 13th studio album, The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends, that included samples of the blood of some of the album's contributors. The album features guest appearances from artists such as Nick Cave, Erykah Badu, Ke$ha, and Chris Martin. Only 10 copies of the blood vinyl were made, and each sold for $2,500. Blood splatter vinyl Other records that feature blood splatter include Desolation by Khemmis, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom by Halsey, and Rambo: The Last Blood by Brian Tyler. Blood-filled records Other records that have been made with blood include F13, Seether, and King Gizz

[@stedwards311]

Welding definitely isn't glue, unless metal casting is also glue. Welding doesn't melt an adhesive to join surfaces, it melts the surfaces to fuse them and adds some more molten material to fill in the gaps.

[@davesatxify]

welders are just crafting :) oh.. Hank would be the Inquisitive Hulk or the Savvy Hulk (he has so many businesses!)

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

I HOPE someone commented here already. Soldering is NOT welding! These are very different. Welding is using the SAME metal or alloy, melting the edges of two pieces, adding extra metal as needed, flowing the melted metal together and letting it cool to solid again. Soldering and brazing melt a low melting alloy to allow it to flow around SOLID metals and then cool to a solid to hopefully hold them together. The pieces being joined are NOT melted themselves, unlike in welding where they are. So... is welding GLUE? I would say not. Take two pieces of some plastic and melt the edges of them together. That is NOT gluing, that is welding.

[@joeh2236]

There used to be a glue factory close to a sewage processing plant and it would smell so bad in the summertime. Anyone from where I live will know Frank rd. and 104. Thankfully they tore the glue factory down around 15 years ago.

[@badmonkey244]

In italy we call it "colla", the exact same word used in ancient greece which is interesting. I wonder why the latin version of the word didn't stick 🤔

[@BigRedsIsopods]

I worked at a place that used pig blood glue to make laminate doors, and that was less then 10 years ago, also it was white

[@lexinwonderland5741]

30:00 don't y'all remember collect calls?!?!

[@kelseybisset88]

I want to hear more about dragonflies and toilets

[@pixelpantsplay]

I think Hank would be the Credible Hulk.

[@ArtichokeHunter]

I use tape for collages when I might want to undo it tbh

[@ctfddftba]

The Gooable Hulk

[@robertkobus5266]

Even cells are filled with goop: cytoplasm.

[@wyattlewis4069]

I think Hank is the venerable hulk

[@frogz]

soldering/welding is different than glue as they chemically bond to the surface and atleast at the interface, they alloy to the surface and become part of it, welding uses the base material or adds material(ie, metal) to bond the surfaces as 1 material so they become 1 item and isnt just a surface effect, tig welding is literally a glue gun but with metal, welders will either hate or fully agree with this comment

[@frogz]

hey, randomly..... if you guys want to colab, i would totally make a blood based record, i just dont have the musical skills to actually produce content for it!! know anyone with a record cutting machine? i'll make the record!

[@MusicMonkey5555]

How different is that than what they use to fill cavities at the dentist?

[@thegameres816]

I got 2nd hand trauma from hearing sam get eaten by ceri 😂

[@adamphilip1623]

I'd definitely be the emotional hulk 😂

[@jacko666]

No spider. No. 😂

Would Hank not be The Informative Hulk?

I want to know why spray paint won't cure on rubber

[@yellowflowerorangeflower5706]

Cool

[@xela552]

I'd be the Sufficient Hulk

[@maxmusterman3371]

Ate black holes glue?

[@MangindDerous]

Is it too soon to make a - Hank Green as "The Curable Hulk" joke?

[@acox132]

"...that we're just a bunch of goop that has anxiety?" But I thought we were "ugly giant bags of mostly water: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnLPoqNmlMZjqqc Or both!

[@ArtichokeHunter]

Genuinely not sure if they're saying that Sam would have known Ceri was queer in high school and pressured her to come out, or if they meant he would have tried to get her to go to parties or something.

[@mayaenglish5424]

Based on context i'm gonna assume he meant parties lol.

[@danstepka775]

super glue set's in anaerobic environment

[@katebackman7815]

Microblood's fine, everyone knows that. 😭😂🤣

[@Zappygunshot]

There is a pretty significant difference between gluing and welding. While gluing, you're applying a stuff that does the sticking together, whereas welding is selectively melting & joining two objects until they become the same singular object. By that definition, solder and other braising materials are a type of hot glue, whereas welding stock is not. Incidentally, you don't necessarily need a super hot plasma torch to do welding. You can weld plastics together as well, for example, and some substances (confusingly often also called 'glues') are essentially just solvents that end up welding sometimes even very different materials together before drying, essentially forming an alloy along the seam.

[@ninadgadre3934]

Thanks for making me almost drop my weights at the gym with the unexpected tightness discussion!

[@elainebelzDetroit]

Isn't "tape" a shortened way to say "adhesive tape"? The plastic (or other material, like cloth or paper) is the tape; it has an adhesive applied to it. Compare with "measuring tape" or "audio tape" - tape is a strip of some kind.

[@tomlewis4205]

❤❤❤

[@astrocoastalprocessor]

laudable hulk? memorable hulk? notable hulk? conversate-able hulk?

[@adamphilip1623]

Great poem Ceri 😂
