[@ChroniclogicalJeff]

I knew psychics was going to be the next subject on Tangents.

[@tkat921]

I actually cannot understand why this show doesn't get more likes and views. THIS IS QUALITY CONTENT PEOPLE?!?!

[@SolaceEasy]

It just ain't all that.

[@chillsahoy2640]

Dylan Marron is so perfect, with his perfect hair and his perfect smile and his perfect eyes. And of course, he is a scientist too! Sorry, I had to nerd out for a moment because I first heard of Dylan Marron from Welcome to Night Vale. So it's amazing to see him on Scishow Tangents!

[@bloodora]

I've loved Dylan since his WTNV days - actually thrilled to hear he was a writer on Ted Lasso too, because I loved that show. Always iconic! This was such a fun episode!

[@diananoss9931]

Oh wow, you’re welcome! feels so nice to be mentioned ☺️

[@wegogiant]

Getting a great TV writer for the episode about a pseudo scientific topic was a perfect decision

[@bretscofield]

He was a great guest!

[@ninadgadre3934]

The “memory misassignment” theory of Deja Vu makes sense to me personally cuz there was one time early morning i was not fully awake when I actually experienced it happen, in kind of a realtime way, where one moment the thought was clearly fresh and next moment it was catalogued as an old memory all while I watched it happen.

[@kassywilson9276]

3:36 - "Could you survive the Devonian" is in my top 4.

[@evelynnsometimes2]

yesss dylan marron!!!! when i was like 20, i was a huge wtnv fan and dylan was like my personal hero at the time bc he's an amazing writer. i was so lucky to meet him at a wtnv show in like 2015ish and what an absolute gem of a person. so excited to see him on a tangents episode!!!! 10/10 guest hell yes

[@chloe.d178]

The butt more this podcast was amazing! Thank you Hank for normalizing fecal samples

[@carollollol]

"You can't puke if you didn't eat".... ooooh I asure you you can!! -_-

[@vrpansy]

"spirit trumpet" sounds like the name of a mushroom

[@katy333]

asking people to share a *top row* video recommendation is so ROTTED but then hank immediately put himself on blast so i guess i'm not mad

[@l.u.c.a.s.]

Did not expect a shoutout to Dr Brad Stanfield. Good stuff

[@R-Tex.]

You should invite Captain Disillusion

[@BobSmith-tm2kj]

Hank Green probably has the SMARTEST NSA agent following him. Just because of what he searches, he wasn't that smart until he became Hank's NSA agent XD

[@alexwixom4599]

I played a Life is Strange game where your paranormal ability was empathy. I thought it was lame at first, but by the end of it, I'm convinced that is a very powerful and potentially evil ability.

[@barryallen6156]

Sam my man was just watching a very old episode where you showcased your vampire diaries knowledge just wanted to say i was in the final season for an episode both on screen and as a special technician/advisor if you ever want any questions answered lol

[@bridgit001]

Sam, "Every wobbly thing is a ghost..." 😂

[@WowUrFcknHxC]

So is wibbly wobbly timey wimey a ghost too?

[@notbot2648]

CARLOS! Wow, those teeth really are like a military cemetery. What a handsome scientist.

[@jr52990]

"You're secretly super smart" seems like a burn 😆

[@WowUrFcknHxC]

A back handed complement

[@JiseruSama]

Love the poem ❤️

[@frogz]

whoa, i was just watching an old scishow tangents episode and saw 1 posted 1 hour ago, i feel early because i never get suggested it in my feed

[@osmia]

Harry Here What a perfect name for his KZbin channel

[@Larixlaricina]

I like the Gauntlet! But scientific definition is fun too!

[@IceMetalPunk]

Noooooo! My question got picked for the bonus, but I can't afford another Patreon subscription to hear the answer! 😢 Oh, well; I hope whatever the answer is, it was interesting to the richer people who patronize Tangents 💗 ...if I were to cancel my SciShow patreon subscription and transfer that money to Tangents, that.... wouldn't really help the SciShow crew, would it? 😅 In other news, since Houdini was mentioned a few times, I'd like to share one of my favorite (relevant!) historical facts. Maybe a lot of people know this already, but Harry Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle (the author of Sherlock Holmes) were close friends in real life. Thing is, Houdini spent a lot of time debunking mysticism, while Doyle was very much into the occult. They constantly butted heads about this, and it eventually led to the end of their friendship. Doyle insisted that Houdini must have some actual mystical powers, and Houdini kept trying to tell him, "No, it's an act, I can even tell you how I do it!" But Doyle was convinced Houdini was lying to him, and Houdini was frustrated at Doyle's occult insistence, and eventually that drove a wedge between them. They became public frenemies, with Doyle trying to publicly claim that Houdini was actually magic, and Houdini publicly trying to debunk Doyle himself.

[@emilypowers7911]

I love the gauntlet!

[@ScienceisRadAF]

Where is Spidey from Behavioral Arts?! He should be in this room

[@dalibar]

I was about to recommend him! I really like that he's so transparent about the science behind things and when things are lacking evidence. He would be so fun to have on the podcast!!

[@anonymus830]

we love you Hank ❤️

[@Stellar_Excavator]

my first thought for the spirit trumpet was the Horn of Valere from the WoT books.

[@MinniMintz]

I thought Deja Vu was dream stuff too! It must be some past explanation or urban myth that deja vu are dreams. I've been very convinced of that for as long as I can remember!

[@GuanoLad]

An aspect of deja vu is that you think you know what's about to happen, but can't quite articulate it and then it happens and it feels confirmed in your perception, and that goes ongoing for about 30 seconds or so. I think I read somewhere that the electrical signals in your brain sort of bridge across to your memory area simultaneously while you are perceiving an event, and that's why your 'memory' tingles that way. That may be a debunked theory, but it makes sense to me.

[@AmandaBrooks-j8i]

42:34 Clearly the answer is by properly keeping your municipally approved dream journal. 😉

[@oneshotonepic8319]

Pausing this video to go listen to Idina Menzel sing for an hour and five minutes...

[@justforplaylists]

In the off-season, I always say the Hallowe'en names in my head.

[@bandana_girl6507]

On the deja vu topic, what Dylan had described happening is actually closer to the related topic of deja reve, where there's the feeling that something is happening that has happened in a dream. However, his thoughts as to the mechanism of deja vu has been studied and is at least somewhat supported. I haven't looked into the methodology of those studies, but I would guess that some of it does also rely on the vagueness of remembered dreams. As for what Sam had been describing having happened to him, that's also not actually deja vu but rather jamais vu, which is the feeling that a familiar experience is new. Interestingly, both of these happen with seizure aura, especially related to temporal lobe seizures

[@DavidDylanFisher]

I have to chime in that you all seem to have missed the point of that scene in GHOSTBUSTERS: Bill Murray's character was TELLING the Hot Girl she was getting every card right, even though she wasn't, and shocking the dude every time, even the one time he miraculously got one right. It sets up that he's a sleazebag: he's essentially claiming to do psychic research as a way to hit on undergraduates.

[@saraa3418]

Oh goodness, my top five suggestions are so particular to me! A couple videos about costuming, a couple political podcasts, and then a completely unhinged Sims 4 Let's Play. Has anyone noticed that the kind of recommendations shift throughout the day?

[@TheMadHattam]

I heard 'Fallen tears of volunteers' and I was really hoping that was the secret correct answer.

[@alexwixom4599]

Dejavu that I've encountered strongest was from dreams. I dreamt of doing something rather common or mundane, so it was very likely to happen.

[@square721bt]

CARLOS WHY YOUR PERFECT HAIR

[@SolaceEasy]

I turned the tables on a psychic in Sedona, Arizona. He was a cold/warm reader, and I am psychic. He said "No Charge", because HE got the reading from me.

[@nathancantino5669]

awesome.

[@Syco108]

You might my jack-o'-lantern baby

[@alexanderdeburdegala4609]

The sun does effect the weather a lot, solar max, solar min, however, since it's an 11 year cycle, hank is correct it wouldn't have a relevant effect on day to day weather in the context of a weekly forecast.

[@lucyandthecalm]

hello and welcome :3

[@Youtube221B]

I need the slime video

[@alysonmarie]

So I have a question that I'm going to put out into the ether, since Hank mentioned Dr Brad Stanfield. There are so many health-related youtubers and my dad loves watching them. I think it's easy for him to get sucked in on the "supplements" that are going to change his life (and often there is financial incentive to the youtuber to push one particular brand of products). And of course it's easy to only talk about studies that support your messaging and not those that may refute it. I'd like to direct him towards better resources. How does one determine who to trust when your personal health and nutrition? It is something that feels incredible subjective and easy to spread misinformation and I don't know where to start.

[@brightknight1965]

Ok I’m back after listening to way too much defying gravity

[@nathancantino5669]

oooh nooo scater,,, YUK,,, the scat man

[@user-li9vt5mi2n]

This guy gives mad Tony hinchcliff vibes lol

[@athanatic]

The aesthetic of saying its a trick that takes lots of practice, etc. only became popular after Penn & Teller who was also an honest trickster (and sadly in the closet for almost 70 years, but had an amazing partner...) Carl Sagan did the personality test thing In COS MOS 1980 on a High School classroom with simple horoscopes from the newspaper and handed them all the same results, same thing. Most of the bad kindsa Schizophrenia has its onset before 25 as well.

[@eclecticaaronbentley]

Is the Aurora Borealis not weather? Because I know that's predicted based on solar activity.

[@Bluesmudge]

What was the thumbs down emoji that Dylan "thought" during his guess about déjà vu?

[@Felipeh999]

"She is always up there"?!? THE SUN IS MALE!

[@AndreVandal]

Did you mean Professor X?

[@Jinsei13]

Jesus sacrificed less than billionaires do when they "donate".

[@alexanderdeburdegala4609]

Ok if he has a " wife " and is throwing around the world " honey ", I am calling out cultural appropriation lol, ( though he could be bi, but still... that's our word I call shennigans )
