Evolutionary biologist here: yes, evolution does not shape perfect organisms. You just need to be **good enough**.

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

This is why so many male insects lack... most senses and capabilities that you expect animals to have. All they need to do is fill their role good enough for babies to be made.

[@ff-pj3de]

Good enough to pass on your genes. So now it makes sense that your knees, back and teeth start giving out so early (lifestyle is also responsible, but still).

[@brothertaddeus]

"In this world, whatever you do--if you start to do it a lot, whatever your profession or industry--eventually your job will be emails." God, it's so true it hurts.

[@20storiesunder]

And then Jasper showed up in d20!

[@mitchinatr7093]

And kicked absolute ASS.

[@ytmortal]

5:17 is where I realized Brennan visualizes a year the same as I do. Additionally, the mental clock goes through time so the "hand" traces a corkscrew through space.

[@Nydidia]

Thank you for thoroughly exploring my fears and anxieties about emails and text messages. I feel both called out and yet comforted.

[@thebenforever]

Brennan being aware of Brian Shaw, let alone discussing one of his videos, is not something I expected to happen ever. It feels like one tv show breaking the fourth wall and mentioning another tv show.

[@jennapatchkeady]

Not the introduction halfway through!! 🤣 I love you both so much, you're so wonderful!! 💖💖

Even crazier than the low lactic acidosis thing is this extended family in Central Europe. Cracked article a long time ago clued me into researching it to see if it was a real thing and it seems to be with he lengths they went to in order to hide the family in question’s last names and places of birth. It was great uncles and second cousins and great great grandmas that were very tall for their time and just didn’t produce much myostatin, which is how our bodies STOP muscle growth so we don’t run out of fat and nutrients and start hurting our brain, heart, etc from our muscles soaking up everything and growing. They allowed one photo of a baby being monitored from the extended family born in the 2000s… it only showed slightly above the bellybutton to the diaper and down to the ankles. And seeing it you think, who let their 10 year old weight lift and do steroids and why are they still in a diaper? It was insane. Genetic mutations are all around us and it’s wild what is possible to just “pop up” in a given family line

[@vincentdurocher9699]

That whole Brian Shaw tirade was wild to me because I am a huge strongman fan and I know exactly what video he was talking about

[@enbyharvey1417]

Best thing ever is you get into one tabletop rpg and then slowly through all these talented people guesting in each others amazing worlds you find truely so many others Im late to the party but have found yall through Jaspers amazing role playing on dimension 20 burrows end So excited to have another group of amazing people producing top of the line content to support ❤❤❤

[@sophiathedandilioness]

I feel fer the strong man Brennan was talking about. I've been chroniclly ill my whole life and I have numerous food allergies, and on top of that my body doesn't digest well, so eatin is and always has been my least favorite thing in the world. I'm a generally positive person but when someone asks me "what's yer favorite food?" Or "what would make you happy to go out to get" I'm like, no food brings me joy, I eat to survive, it is the worst and most necessary chore I have to force myself to do daily...id rather clean my bathroom and fold laundry tbh. Sometimes I nap instead of eat lunch 😅

[@ZombieApocalypse09]

Great conversation. Commenting for algorithm!

[@Rzepcl]

Yay this is so fun Jasper! I'm glad you had such a good time in Cali

[@madisonnervig7360]

Awesome conversation !!

[@kevinwilliams3449]

Amazing kickback

[@BertFromOhio]

I love that you guys have the same countdown music as Dimension 20❤️

[@NovaOrionAstra]

this was so fun to watch and listen. ill get to the burrow eventually but happy to see yall here

[@kb90654]

this was so fun!

[@evelynlamoy8483]

I relate to the "get the furnace hot enough" quote to much, but instead of my body, it's my brain, and its not PRODUCTIVE energy per say but good lord my mind consumes to much energy.

[@rocketracoon709]

[@paralasalud]

this is wild for me to hear brennan talk about fuckin brian shaw

[@TimGalloVids]

oh, wow, when they call out Star Wars for "sucking" and saying ROP is good... as much as I love Brennan, I call out an insight check! ! Otherwise, great interview.

[@spectrest]

I love you all you’re amazing.

[@mynameiskrysta]

I straight up can not find this patreon

[@WWEisnotPunkrock]

Where is the one shot?

[@dago6410]

I saw "if" and brenna and was just sure (like 8f you told me im wrong i woild call you an idiot) this will HAVE TO be some kind of Brennan reciting Kipling's poem, probably w8th soke comedic twist

[@michaelb6349]

4:08 mcarndo shuffle?

[@FriendOfTrashPandas]

Um, actually... lactic acid can't exist in the body without your overall pH being too low to survive. It has a pKa of 3.87, which is to say, if you want a mixture of 50% lactic acid and 50% lactate, your body pH will need to be about 3.87. Since your body pH is *always* going to stay well above 6, the lactic acid in your body will always be in its base form, lactate. There's never lactic acid in your body.

[@mordicaiknode]

I want to talk to Izzy about Sarah Blaffer Hrdy now.

[@Fafhrd42]

Doesn't Michael Phelps have a stupid huge lung capacity as well? I think that explains the low lactic acid thing. Muscles produce lactic acid when they're not getting enough oxygen to burn calories, so they fall back to anaerobically burning glucose, which produces lactic acid. Phelps's larger lung capacity means he's getting more oxygen into his bloodstream under heavy exertion, so his muscles are able to burn more calories aerobically, and he produces less lactic acid as a result.

[@markc.7984]

How bout letting Brennan talk?

[@carveylover]

I thought Jasper did a wonderful job interviewing him. It was a very natural conversation. He let Brennan talk, and Brennan let him talk. People naturally talk over each other when they are conversing. Did you want to watch Brennan monologue the whole time????

[@redbeard5939]

​@carveylover agreed, a great interview. However, I would probably also enjoy a half-hour of Brennan monologing

[@bigsarge2085]

Great conversation!
