Growth | SciShow Tangents Podcast

Hank is in a mood and I am here for it

[@MLawrence51]

“So much minion piss” - Hank Green ….first episode I’ve ever seen and this quote did it for me. I will hang this quote in my classroom next week 😂

[@lethaleefox6017]

When have you seen a Minion do that? Think hard...

[@TomARowly]

Hang on. Sam guessed 300m, Ceri guessed 20m. Isn't 150m closer to Ceri's guess??

[@katharinaxyl702]

I came here just to comment this!!!!!!!!! Justice for Ceri!

[@ceriley]

I noticed this while recording and then forgot to say it and now our collective lack of arithmetic awareness is enshrined in podcast history lol. I'll update the tracking spreadsheet though because I need every trivia win I can get haha

[@nzbozza]

This should be the tiebreaker at the end of the season. #justiceforceri Hank stop obsessing over Gru's growth!

[@Nothing2150]

I mean it's a matter of being right in spirit

[@TomARowly]

@@ceriley Oh that's good - contributing to the accuracy of spreadsheets is my passion 💚

[@ThegreatSilver]

It is a tragedy that no one acknowledged the amazing phrasing of "the folkloric wisdom that mushrooms grow *like wildfire* around areas struck by lightning" at 27:30

[@auroralupton]

Ceris' hair looked amazing in the episode

[@ceriley]

thank youuu I'm so happy to be back to pink!

[@spidermeadows]

It's been a little bit since I've caught up and got a huge smile when I saw her hair here. Conversely, it looks like Sam is experiencing high "puff levels" a la John's hair.

[@jebus456]

Agreed!

[@EagleEye-oe4xe]

It was 11 years ago though but is that a hack or something. OR A PSYCHIC!

[@dile5879]

For the new listeners, after the credits is the butt fact and is always worth it!

Unless you're in a fetish bar, please don't call your drink piss minion 😂

I just finished my final art project for my undergrad BFA, and I wanted to thank the tangents team for LITERALLY getting me THROUGH IT ALL!!!! I re-listened to every ep on Spotify while painting and now I’m sporadically watching through them on KZbin and it’s such a joyous part of my day, every day! Thank you!

[@SciShowTangents]

hell yes! from a fellow BFA-haver, good job getting that BFA!

[@terranovarubacha5473]

@@SciShowTangents Sam? Is that you? What kind of FA do you do? I'm having trouble seeing you as an artist; I need more details

[@trentgraham465]

I finally know why the "tell people about us" is always so out of sync

[@AliceYobby]

I am so happy this is on KZbin now. I never had the ability to sit through podcasts, would get too distracted. This is great.

[@austinfloyd2365]

When talking about big cells, don't forget that some human cells can get very big, at least in length (sciatic neurons, up to 3 feet long).

[@tigmathis]

If I ever see Hank in person, I’m just going to scream “you need more room for the piss”

[@CourtOfWinter]

Shouldn't the trivia question have gone to Ceri?

[@mrjoe332]

Maybe be choose by magnitude margin.

[@WhiteSpatula]

“You only need one eye; you need more space for piss.” LMAO! That’s an actual sentence in the universe now. I love it!

[@instaperil]

Ceri's laugh makes it worth tuning into Tangents!

[@SamLugo]

I was surprised at the amount of times piss was said, but I really shouldn't be.

[@sofuckinfaded]

Loved the poem

[@ceriley]

ty ty i was proud of this one!!

[@YellowTailHorse]

They're all getting better, but Ceri has always had great poems.

[@AlexBelethe]

Oh, so this was where the Minion Piss began... What a gift 😂

[@buckysrevenge]

BTW, the PBS Kids show Odd Squad has a jackalope on its logo

[@ponyote]

As someone who hasn't seen Despicable Me, I'm a bit lost. But oh well.

Isn’t 150 closer to 20 than to 300?

"Urine grows brain cells ". Another point for care & support workers getting a pay rise, thanks for that! 😅😅

[@tigmathis]

20:46 in what world is 300 closer to 150 than 20?

[@iriandia]

I'm so glad people are finding out about this gem of a podcast! When I found out about it I was going through a really rough time and it just brought smiles at a time when those were hard to find, and it still does.

[@vanrana5371]

Skin tags are a sign of insulin resistance. Look into lowering your carb intake and raising your fat and protein intake.

[@rebekahprice800]

What a beautiful science poem!

[@spidermeadows]

That was one of the most delightfully unhinged openings for a show that is still kinda perfect in its own right.

[@fakhruddinnalawala5451]

Hank, you did Ceri a dirty! 150 is closer to 20 than to 300 :(

[@una_10bananas]

Not logarithmically

[@fakhruddinnalawala5451]

@@una_10bananas How often have they used logarithmic mean in the past? They almost always use arithmetic mean - wasn't there that episode where Ceri said 200 and Sam said 10000, but the correct answer was 3000, which Ceri won?

[@una_10bananas]

@@fakhruddinnalawala5451 this is a fair point actually and I was mostly joking as clearly they didn't think about it and just made a mistake

Can you all please do a live show at the Taco Bell Cantina in Butte? I’d be more than willing to set that up 😂

[@Larixlaricina]

Awesome poem for national poetry month! Everyone looks like they are having fun ☺️

[@Nylak-Otter]

I came here for someone else to acknowledge that jackalopes kind of actually exist (I have the pelt of one with a growth present on the skullcap area taxidermied over its actual skull rather than a model jackrabbit head with pronghorn antlers attached, and I am unreasonably proud of it since I've loved the mythological jackalopes since I was a kid and always played as if they were actually potentially real like cryptids and tiny me WAS RIGHT) and now suddenly everyone is singing. What is happening.

[@kerupowe]

some human cells are so specialized they can't make more of themselves (neurons and muscle cells are the ones i know), so they make themselves bigger

[@peterjf7723]

Peyton Rous discovered the chicken tumour virus in 1911, He had to wait 55 years for his discovery to be recognized by the honor of a Nobel Prize, this is the longest “incubation period” in the history of the Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine.

Just rename the papilloma virus as “contagious butterfly” and you’re golden.

Mushrooms aren't the only being that gets excited for reproduction when lightning strikes nearby ;)

Ceri that poem was awesome! And you definitely need a mascot!

[@AstroToad626]

That poem is beautiful

[@tremkl]

Well, decided to listen to an episode after Hank’s plug today. An awful lot of minion piss. No regrets.

[@ivytarablair]

Y'all so delightful :D I enjoy every ep, video, podcast - i listen to them all many times :) (I keep reaching out to adjust Ceri's mic out of the way LOLOL my narrator compulsions are my own and i will keep my mitts of your mic!)

[@LakseJohn]

So when are you gonna start selling minion shaped bedpans?

[@nzbozza]

Omg I cackled. One needs to set up the transition in popular culture from the minion movies to the bedpan though or people won't get it.

[@steventoomire1644]

One growth fact that boggles my mind. Is how a woman even before born has all the eggs that she will ever have inside of her. How is it possible to go from a single cell and somehow how's the information to formulate all the eggs that she will need for her lifetime?

[@terranovarubacha5473]

Yeah, this blows my mind too

[@janelwilliams9144]

😲 Wow, our bodies are absolutely amazing!!!

[@HeinzeC1]

Ceri, you may be thinking of the Randler, one of the mascots for Good mythical Morning.

[@nzbozza]

Or Wolpetingler from Europe

[@OverlordMaggie]

I love the aspect of science corroborating folk wisdom! I'm interested in studying agronomics and the electroculture sounds like an excellent way to improve yield, connect to traditional agriculture knowledge, and also get people to eat more delicious muahrooms. I'm hoping to read this article that she read! This was an excellent episode through and through, thanks for the mood boost!

[@sava-smth]

This episode of SciShow Tangents is poop and piss sertified

[@hchen-gb1tw]

24:10 As a veterinarian currently in post-doc training in zoo and wildlife medicine, I feel compelled to say that transmissible tumors are not actually that uncommon in the animal kingdom! This is particularly true of viruses, as many of them induce metaplasia that can easily transform and become neoplasia instead (either benign aka a growth or malignant aka "cancer"). Papillomaviruses, polyomaviruses, poxviruses, retroviruses, you name it. That's not even including things like feline leukemia virus which do not cause tumors but do cause malignant neoplasia. True clonally-transmissible cancers are very rare, but neoplasia secondary to some other form of transmissible disease i.e. viral infections is fairly commonplace. Please pardon the pedantic ramble!

[@lizzyp1414]
