Laura: Hello, everyone.
Ron: Helloooooooo
Laura: Oh, I didn't know you were going to do that.
Laura: You were looking me in the eye, which is weird.
Laura: Hi, everyone.
Laura: Welcome to another episode of Lexa Education.
Laura: Hello, you.
Laura: You know what it is?
Laura: It's the comedy science podcast where who comedian?
Laura: Me.
Laura: Laura lex.
Laura: What's she doing?
Laura: She's trying to learn science.
Laura: From who?
Laura: From heroically.
Laura: Normal brother.
Laura: His name's Ron.
Laura: He's here.
Ron: Hello, I'm Ron.
Laura: Hi, Normal.
Laura: Ron.
Ron: Hi.
Laura: How are you doing?
Ron: I'm all right.
Laura: It's the same room episode.
Ron: We're very tired.
Laura: We're very tired.
Laura: I'm going to have a little hottie chalky after this introduction.
Ron: I'm going to eat a chicken sandwich.
Laura: We had a barbecue today, everyone.
Ron: First barbecue of the year.
Laura: Yeah, it was really good.
Laura: Had perfectly done halumi, couple of burgers.
Ron: Tip for the halumi, don't slice it before you barbecue.
Laura: Just put the whole block on.
Ron: Put the whole block on.
Laura: And carve that block on barbecue block on wood.
Laura: Kind of wood.
Laura: Because it was charcoal.
Ron: That was bad.
Laura: Shut up.
Laura: We've been playing a lot of Minecraft again, which when I was very into minecraft, when I used to do National Treasures podcast, it didn't bode well and Will almost banned me from bringing up minecraft ever.
Laura: But in my head then I was like, yeah, that's how you make charcoal.
Laura: You just put logs in both sides of the furnace and then you get to charcoal.
Ron: We should stream some Minecraft at some point.
Laura: I'd like to do that.
Laura: I don't really understand how you stream stuff like that.
Ron: Twitch?
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: How do you do a twitch?
Ron: I don't know.
Ron: Ring in list.
Laura: If that's something you want to see, turn 66.
Ron: If that's something you want to see and you know how to do it and you're willing to help us for free?
Laura: It doesn't have to be totally free.
Laura: We can give you ten pounds.
Ron: I'm not giving you any money.
Laura: We could do it from the patreon money.
Ron: No, do it for free.
Laura: You're so hard.
Ron: Well, no, because we could Google it.
Laura: We won't, though.
Ron: No.
Laura: Hi, listeners.
Ron: Firstly, are you okay?
Laura: Deep breath.
Ron: Topical banter.
Laura: It's more topical than anything we discuss in this episode.
Laura: F*** me.
Laura: What was I going to say?
Laura: Oh, big news.
Laura: Up top.
Laura: Listen, my novel is out in paperback.
Laura: It came out on Thursday.
Laura: It's called pivot.
Laura: You can get it from anywhere.
Laura: You can normally buy a book.
Laura: Please buy it.
Laura: The fact that you're here listening to episode 52, our anniversary, but not chronologically, just number of episodes, lee means that you're a lover of us.
Laura: Buy my book, please, and I will adore you forever.
Ron: It's a good book.
Laura: It is a good book.
Laura: It's also on Audible, on Kindle, if you like listening to things.
Laura: I know you like listening to my voice, you're here.
Laura: It is also available in a hardback between you and me, Ron, I think it's better as a paperback.
Laura: It's that kind of a book.
Ron: It's a summer read you can click.
Laura: Through in a launcher is you don't want the hardback version, you want the paperback.
Laura: That's how I feel anyway.
Laura: If you want a hardback signed ones are available at Laura Lex Co UK.
Laura: Get one.
Laura: So that's my big announcement up top.
Ron: I don't have an announcement.
Ron: Why are you looking at me?
Laura: Have you written a book?
Laura: Do you want to write a book?
Ron: No, I'm not a published author.
Laura: I am two books, so I'm teaching child of the podcast account mommy's a published author.
Laura: How many books?
Laura: One.
Laura: Two.
Ron: How many podcasts?
Ron: Three.
Laura: Yeah, one.
Laura: Don't do national treasures anymore.
Ron: Not anymore.
Laura: It's in the bin.
Ron: National Treasures.
Ron: Years and years, like said.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Now it's just this.
Laura: Alternative titles for last week.
Laura: For those of you that play that.
Ron: Game rumble in My Tumble.
Laura: A pit that no one's asked for.
Ron: The worst word salad.
Laura: Half remembered things and facts that are not facts.
Ron: Bring old dogs more and angel squash.
Laura: Don't even know what facts weird gibbering start.
Ron: I never feel my muscles are that.
Laura: Helpful when I'm jumping kangaroo.
Laura: Scientists, please do get in touch.
Ron: Do you remember the concept of work?
Laura: Romans didn't have bicycles a lot from last week.
Laura: A lot.
Laura: I think the ones that no, because when I re listen to them, I add more.
Laura: I don't think you do that for the ones I edit.
Ron: No.
Ron: Unless there's a banger that you've missed.
Ron: Banger usually something funny.
Ron: I've said, spoiler alert.
Ron: One of the ones for today's episode is The Devil is the Salt.
Laura: Why have you spoiled that?
Ron: Just messing with people.
Laura: All right, well, I guess we can just jump straight into their episode.
Laura: Have a lovely time with what's now?
Laura: Nostalgia was at the time topical content and some biology.
Laura: I'm not going to praise you for sitting in the right chair and drinking water like you are a toddler.
Ron: I honestly don't know how you don't drink water when we do this.
Laura: I've drunk two glasses of water today.
Ron: I've drunk at least four.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Don't you just have nicer things to do?
Ron: I like water, Tom.
Laura: Every morning, just pours a glass of water and then just by the sink and drinks it makes me just never want to have sex with them again.
Laura: Such like, yuck behaviour, such socks and saddles behaviour.
Laura: To just wake up and hydrate.
Laura: Just standing in the kitchen like an absolute creep.
Laura: Oh, I hate it.
Laura: Something I find so yucky about it.
Ron: Just it's all.
Laura: Standing in the kitchen.
Laura: Yuck.
Ron: So weird.
Laura: Yeah, tell him then.
Ron: No, you're weird.
Laura: I'm not weird.
Laura: I've got a couple of mouth ulcers on my tongue, though, and they really hurt.
Laura: It really hurts to talk.
Ron: It's probably because your tongue's just cracking under the dryness of I shut up.
Laura: On two f****** glasses today.
Laura: It's really hot and I went for a five k walks.
Laura: Really needed the second 152, though.
Laura: Today ron, this is our you're 52.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Looks wise.
Laura: No, 52nd episode.
Laura: That's a full year of episodes.
Ron: No, it's not.
Ron: As we discussed in the last no.
Laura: It'S not a chronological year, but it's an episodic year.
Laura: Yeah, I guess, like solar months and lunar months.
Ron: I just don't think we know.
Laura: What do you mean?
Ron: I think if we want to start celebrating milestones that aren't the year why are you licking your pop shield?
Laura: I'm far away from my pop shield.
Laura: My tongue was there.
Laura: I was just stretching it my tongue, not the pop shield.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: And if we're going to be celebrating milestones that aren't stop, it.
Laura: Feels nice.
Ron: If if we're going to be celebrating milestones that aren't the year, then we could have done 50, which is like a round number.
Laura: All right, then.
Laura: Well, edit this bit out, then.
Laura: We won't have this bit.
Ron: They need to know the worm.
Laura: Why do we celebrate everything, Ron?
Laura: We'll celebrate 50.
Laura: What do we do?
Laura: Episode 50 we did.
Laura: We do celebrate everything.
Laura: No notes.
Laura: Now it's 52, and in a couple of weeks it'll be the year.
Ron: We're constantly on Twitter, just, like, begging for listen.
Ron: Celebrating minor.
Ron: Minor.
Laura: Yes.
Laura: Welcome to running a podcast, Ron.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Not everybody gets that off menu run and run where other people do the promo for them.
Laura: We have to grind a man.
Laura: I know.
Laura: If I was a man, I'd be so successful.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Instead, I'm just a short, beautiful woman hanging out with her brother for likes eating eggs.
Laura: Have you got any ulcers on your tongue today, Ron?
Laura: You've got a cracky jaw, haven't you?
Ron: Yes.
Ron: I'm so stressed.
Ron: That one of the muscles that works.
Ron: My jaw has turned into a golf ball.
Laura: It's not good.
Laura: But you're on Valium.
Ron: Only to sleep.
Laura: I was hoping you'd be on it now, and then we could do some real fun physics.
Ron: No, we're not doing physics today.
Laura: Oh.
Laura: Having a week off.
Ron: We just did physics.
Laura: Now we're doing biology.
Laura: Yes.
Laura: Oh, that is music to my a***.
Laura: Didn't like it.
Ron: No.
Ron: Weird energy.
Ron: Didn't like it.
Ron: Put it back.
Laura: I was editing an episode this morning, and I just said a joke so bad, it fills your bomb with.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: What do you want to call the episode that we're putting out on Monday, by the way?
Ron: I think I like either a banana in the dark like a sad man or dog tooth fairy.
Laura: Yeah, I think either is good.
Laura: Banana in the Dark Like a Sad Man did make me laugh quite a lot.
Ron: Yeah, it's kind of like a late Teeny's way of things were always called, like, The Curious Case of the Dog in the Nighttime or A Swim in the Pond in the Rain and stuff like that.
Ron: A banana in the dark like a sad man.
Ron: I think it has that kind of ring to it.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Dog Tooth Fairy might get us a few listens though, if people are just googling that to find out if there is one.
Laura: Maybe if we were really smart about the promotion for this, we'd name it Things People Were Searching For From Science.
Laura: So they'd stumble across the podcast.
Ron: No.
Ron: Yeah, but instead we name it stuff like a Look Back over Episode titles.
Ron: It's 52.
Laura: It's 52.
Laura: Why?
Laura: You don't normally fumble for time when we're doing biology.
Ron: No, it's really good, actually.
Ron: We're onto a whole new subject.
Laura: Yes.
Laura: Maths.
Laura: No, it wouldn't be maths.
Ron: It's biology.
Laura: Yeah, I know, but you said whole new subject and I was just sort of joking around.
Laura: Poor I need a way all right.
Ron: Lawyer.
Ron: New topic.
Ron: Focus up.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: Shut up.
Ron: Big letters at the top of the page.
Ron: Bioenergetics.
Ron: Brand new topic.
Ron: New pastures.
Laura: Green.
Laura: Green biology.
Laura: That sounds like a sign.
Laura: That would be on a door in a lab at the beginning of a movie, where one electric chimps take over the Chrysler Building.
Laura: And it was the bald man.
Laura: That was the bad scientist.
Laura: And the lady.
Ron: But he's the uncle of the lady.
Laura: Yes.
Laura: And she has to take her heels off and run.
Ron: No, she keeps her heels on.
Ron: What?
Laura: She does no.
Ron: Her glasses and puts her hair down.
Laura: No, that's a different film.
Laura: Run.
Laura: That's a different film.
Ron: Anyway, bioenergetics.
Ron: What do you think bioenergetics are?
Ron: Laurie.
Laura: Well, had we not done that whole bit, I'd have said some sort of robot chimp.
Laura: But is it the different mechanisms that things use to make energy?
Laura: Wait.
Laura: Why are Bionicles called?
Laura: Bionicles?
Laura: Bio has two bio isn't always biology, is it?
Ron: Isn't it?
Laura: Why are Bionicles?
Laura: Are they biological?
Ron: I don't know if they're Bionicles.
Ron: I think they're more Bionicles.
Ron: I think they kiss girls and boys.
Ron: Okay, I don't know.
Ron: I don't really know.
Ron: I used to have a DVD of Bionical.
Laura: I thought you were like, the Bionical Boy.
Ron: I really liked Bionicles.
Ron: Fun toys.
Ron: Fun toys.
Ron: But the law was diffuse.
Laura: Right.
Laura: Okay.
Laura: Toy first, law second.
Laura: So, Bioenergy, this was before the days.
Ron: Of, like, ninjago and stuff, where there had to be real nailed down law for all of these things.
Laura: Pre fan fiction.
Laura: So there you go.
Laura: I think I've summed up Bioenergetics very well.
Ron: I mean, you're not far off, but it's kind of weird that you've boxed it into how we're getting energy.
Ron: Obviously, energy can't be created.
Laura: My tongue hurts.
Ron: Drink more water.
Laura: I haven't got any water up here.
Ron: Bioenergy.
Laura: The house in the west wing.
Laura: Bioenergy to my house has to be for it to have wings.
Ron: Well, I think the bigger the house, the bigger the wings would have to be.
Laura: But if you just had stairs at the middle, you know, like, that proper going through the front door and the stairs are in front of you and there's a room to the right and a room to the left.
Laura: That kind of a vibe.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Could you call those wings either side, then?
Laura: Or do they have to be, like, offshoots of a main bit?
Ron: I don't think they're made out of the right stuff.
Ron: I think it's the material and sort of the function that makes them wings rather than the size.
Laura: Rap.
Ron: So bioenergetics is just about the study of energy within biology.
Ron: So how different animals get hold of it, how they use it, how it's animals.
Laura: Let's do some leopards and stuff.
Laura: That would spice this up a bit.
Ron: We're not spicy.
Laura: It's jungle science.
Ron: We're not really going to be talking about animals, to be honest.
Laura: Why?
Laura: This is the problem with science.
Laura: It's talking about everything that happens in the world.
Laura: But instead of ever just being like, let's look at some monkeys, it's like, let's look at this salad a mushroom.
Ron: That's because monkey science isn't.
Laura: Yeah, I'm sure there's loads of monkey science.
Laura: What branch of science is that, then, where you live?
Ron: Ecology.
Laura: Well, let's do ecology sometimes.
Ron: We probably will.
Laura: I hope so.
Laura: We can do specialise in that.
Ron: 90 patrons.
Ron: Monkey science.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Anyway, Laura anyway, Ron laura.
Ron: Laura.
Laura: Ron.
Ron: Laura.
Ron: Where does life do it, do it, do it.
Laura: I started watching a new TV show that I think you'd like.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: You have a very bad grasp of why I like a television of movies.
Laura: I'm fucky.
Laura: There no TV.
Ron: It's a musical about flounder.
Ron: You love it.
Ron: One of the kids is grumpy.
Ron: Was I close?
Laura: No, you were nowhere near.
Laura: I won't be telling you about it either.
Laura: 91 patents.
Laura: I'll tell you a lot, but I've never, ever telling one.
Laura: Oh, go to my grave.
Laura: Never telling you about this show.
Ron: It's a lovely cartoon about some people that run a florist.
Laura: I'm actually very hurt right now.
Laura: I know that what you're taking the p*** out me for is Central Park, and neither of the kids are grumpy in Central Park, thank you very much.
Laura: In fact, one of them is Titus from Kimmy Schmidt, and he's great.
Laura: I'm going to reply to Dad's text messages while you find yourself hilarious.
Ron: Laura, where does life on Earth get its energy from?
Laura: Mother bin.
Ron: You want to stop?
Ron: She's done 52.
Ron: We've done a year's worth of podcasts, at least in slightly less than a year.
Laura: Can you apologise and then maybe I'll be interested again?
Ron: Sorry for making fun of what you think I like in television shows.
Laura: Yeah, you're welcome.
Laura: Okay.
Laura: Energy science.
Laura: Go, monkeys.
Ron: Monkey science.
Ron: Where does life on Earth gain its energy from?
Laura: The sun and the rain.
Laura: The moon.
Laura: The ground.
Laura: The wind.
Ron: Base ground.
Ron: Big closest.
Laura: The bang.
Ron: The Bang.
Laura: The big bang.
Ron: I'd say all energy comes from the Big Bang.
Laura: There you go, then.
Laura: There you go.
Laura: The sun and the Big Bang.
Ron: Yeah, but the sun comes from the Big Bang, so that doesn't count.
Laura: Well, let's not bother saying the sun, then.
Laura: In future.
Laura: We'll just say big bang.
Laura: Done.
Ron: Big bang.
Laura: Big bang wallop.
Ron: Where else?
Laura: Where else what?
Ron: Where else does life get its energy from if one of them is the sun?
Ron: Think about where dead stuff you would need.
Ron: But that dead stuff probably got its energy from the sun originally.
Ron: Where would you need to get energy from?
Ron: Somewhere that wasn't the sun god.
Ron: Where would you need to be?
Ron: Or where would you be?
Ron: And then you in the womb.
Ron: You'd be weird about this.
Ron: Where it's f****** dark, where the sun isn't.
Laura: What?
Ron: Where it's dark where the sun isn't.
Ron: So you need alternative energy sources.
Laura: What's happening?
Ron: Like oil the bottom of the sea.
Laura: Laura there's energy in the bottom of the sea?
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: You know, there's vents.
Ron: The vents?
Ron: The sulphur vents?
Laura: No.
Ron: What, you've never seen like, a David Adambrook documentary?
Ron: And at the bottom of the sea and there's like, vents with crabs and tubes?
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: I didn't know that was energy.
Laura: I thought it was just vents.
Ron: Well, that's the thing.
Ron: They didn't know this until very recently, but they're the only places on Earth where things are thriving completely independent of the sun.
Laura: Wow.
Ron: So they basically they harvest the chemical.
Laura: No.
Laura: Do they?
Laura: They don't even know that they're weird.
Laura: They're like that kid at school that's got, like, paste and marmite sandwiches and their whole family eats them.
Laura: And then they don't know that everyone at school is like, oh, God, it's weird.
Laura: Sandwiches.
Laura: Yeah, but luckily they're never going to know either.
Ron: No.
Ron: Until they're all dead.
Laura: They won't know then.
Laura: Who's going to tell a dead fish?
Ron: Yeah, but there are fish that live down there.
Ron: There's whole ecosystems that thrive without the sun is very interesting.
Laura: A little bit of stuff from there because of the sun, surely.
Ron: Why?
Laura: Like, a kelp might die and float down there and get eaten.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: And that's something called deadfall.
Ron: Famously.
Ron: Most happens with whales, but that's not what the eco sounds like.
Laura: A video game Tom might play deadfall.
Laura: That'd be a cool video game, actually.
Laura: You just fish on the bottom of the sea doing quests in the dark.
Ron: Like Sharky and George looking for rotten things.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: And then you could upgrade to become a pilot fish so you can see a bit.
Ron: No, your dad.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Bloody pilot fish.
Ron: So that's where energy comes from.
Ron: How is energy stored in a cell?
Ron: Laura.
Laura: ATP.
Ron: Well done.
Laura: Yes.
Ron: We'll learn about that some more.
Ron: And we will learn about the two different types of respiration, because respiration is breathing to us.
Ron: But respiration sort of, in a biochemical sense, means reacting with oxygen to make energy stuff.
Ron: What?
Ron: Why are you frowning?
Laura: That's not a frown.
Laura: Americans think frowning is a sad face.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Then turn that frown upside down.
Laura: They think, like making silence go down as a frown.
Laura: They don't think it's like a confused forehead face.
Ron: Yeah, but they do.
Ron: Bunch of f****** weird things.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Like shooting each other shooting their kids, whereas we have no crime here and no problems.
Ron: That's the worst bit of all of this coronation nonsense.
Ron: Was that tweet by the Metropolitan Police being like, our tolerance for disruption is going to be very low.
Laura: Oh, like it was super high before I saw the worst thing I've ever seen.
Laura: So the coronation was a few weeks ago, went to as does this morning.
Laura: And look at this dress that was actually for sale.
Ron: Bloody h***.
Laura: Stephen got, like, matching Union Jack shoes to go with it.
Laura: It's an ugly dress.
Laura: It's pretty gross.
Laura: It's then covered in Union Jack flags.
Laura: But it's not even just Union Jack flags.
Laura: It's like flower print Union Jacks.
Ron: Christ kill me.
Laura: It's so horrible.
Laura: There was a whole aisle of, like, coronation themed crap.
Laura: Just not my bag.
Ron: I have two things to say and then we should move on because this will be dated by the time this episode comes out.
Ron: One, I saw an incredible to be.
Laura: Fair, though, the coronation is this week and we've just done the intros and outros for that week's episodes and we don't mention it at all.
Ron: No, we don't.
Laura: We should do that.
Laura: The science of why the royals deserve to rule us, like, blood wise.
Laura: What's different about them?
Ron: Well, I mean, actually, we could do a lot of stuff about what's different about royals because they're also f****** inbred.
Ron: There is some interesting stuff that we could do and about on there, like the different genetic deformities and stuff that they've had over the years, like the Hapsburg lip and stuff like that.
Laura: Did they just have to sort of f*** around out of the usual circles to get rid of that?
Laura: Or is that still about?
Ron: I imagine to some degree it's still about, but I think it's more that the circle of what is considered someone all right to marry Diana.
Ron: She was majorly aristocracy.
Ron: She's related to Winston Church and stuff.
Ron: Like, the Spencer family are like a big family and stuff.
Ron: But previously it would have been you had to marry, like, the Princess of Germany or something.
Ron: Would have been your cousin.
Ron: No, I've got two things to say.
Ron: I saw a video of someone that was camping out for the coronation and when asked whether he was upset at the fact that Prince Andrew was going to be there, he just went, well, Royal family has been like this forever, hasn't it?
Ron: It's just because you guys and the media are paying attention to it and promoting it.
Ron: Think the guy was just born in the wrong time.
Laura: Fresh take, isn't it?
Laura: I've not heard anyone else with that take.
Laura: The media's fault for telling us.
Ron: I wish he was born 200 years ago and then it would have been fine.
Ron: And then the other thing I have to say about the coronation coronation quiche.
Ron: I'm not against the idea.
Ron: I love a quiche.
Ron: And if you're going to pitch a new quiche to me.
Ron: Do it, please.
Ron: I'll eat it.
Ron: But you put broad beans in that quiche.
Ron: The idea of the texture of beans and quiche is awful.
Laura: Yeah, because broad beans are very flowery.
Laura: They're a flowery vegetable, and that up against a soft eggy quiche.
Laura: I don't want that.
Laura: You'd be thinking to yourself, is this bad pastry or normal broad bean?
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: And because the word coronation when it comes to food, just by dint of Liz being around for so long and how long it's been since the last coronation, it kind of now means the flavour of coronation chicken.
Ron: So if you're going to make a coronation quiche, make it taste like coronation chicken.
Ron: And then I would be hoovering it up like a hound.
Laura: Maybe you should go all out for the coronation and just, like, pretend to the Belgians, you know.
Ron: I don't think I will.
Laura: No, I don't think you will either.
Laura: I don't think you'd go all out if it was you getting coronated.
Laura: No, thank you.
Laura: I would like a quiet weekend in my living room.
Ron: Anyway, let's move on, because that's all very old talk.
Laura: Old talk with Laura and Ron.
Ron: When was this recorded.
Laura: Ron?
Laura: We're 25 minutes into the episode.
Laura: Just so that you know.
Ron: Are we?
Laura: My tongue hurts so much.
Ron: Sack it off, I reckon.
Ron: Laura, stop licking your pocket.
Laura: I'm not licking it, I'm just airing my tongue because it hurts so much.
Ron: Laura, do you know the two different.
Laura: Types of respiration inhale exhale?
Ron: No.
Ron: Then what if I told you one of them was aerobic?
Ron: Anaerobic, do you know what these two things mean?
Laura: No.
Laura: Something to do with exercise, though.
Ron: No one is in the presence of oxygen and the other one isn't.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Why is working out called aerobics, then?
Ron: Because it's in the presence of oxygen.
Laura: Everything is, though.
Laura: I don't think that is the right answer.
Ron: So, Laura, the first thing we're going to talk about is Photosynthesis.
Ron: Do you know what Photosynthesis is?
Laura: Turning light into energy when you're a plant.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: Where does this happen?
Laura: In your leaves.
Ron: Very good.
Ron: Do you know specifically where in the leaves?
Laura: The chloroplasts.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: Well done.
Ron: The chloroplasts, indeed.
Ron: Do you know what the inputs and outputs of Photosynthesis are?
Laura: USB to jack.
Laura: Come on, Ron.
Laura: Come on, Ron.
Laura: Should I tell them that joke that I text you earlier that you got what was it?
Laura: What was it?
Ron: What do you call a jazz singer in a police car?
Laura: That's it.
Laura: Nina Simone.
Ron: Did you like the follow up that I came up with?
Laura: Did the Bill e holiday.
Laura: Lovely.
Laura: Beautiful work.
Ron: Yeah, we're talented and funny family.
Laura: Yes.
Laura: Where were we?
Laura: Sorry, anaerobic, do you know what the.
Ron: Inputs and outputs of Photosynthesis are?
Laura: Input, light, output sugar.
Ron: So light kind of more access.
Ron: Yeah, you need light.
Ron: Light provides the energy.
Ron: It's not sort of one of the things to use sort of like a baking metaphor.
Ron: Light isn't the eggs or the flour.
Ron: Light is the oven, if that makes sense.
Laura: Light is the oven that feels like some Christian rock.
Laura: Light is the oven that bakes God's love.
Laura: You eat it up and it sits in your tongue and you feel good.
Laura: OOH.
Laura: Never hungry with God.
Ron: OOH.
Ron: Jesus is the eggs and Mary is the flower.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Love is the sugar and the devil assault.
Laura: I like it, actually.
Ron: So do you know the inputs are so yeah, light is light is almost like a catalyst.
Ron: Light is the it provides the energy, but it's not it's it's not one of the ingredients.
Ron: Sugar, glucose is one of the outputs, though.
Laura: Yes.
Ron: What's the other thing that trees and plants and that are good for?
Ron: What else do they make?
Laura: Absolutely nothing.
Laura: Say it again.
Ron: Laura.
Laura: Yes.
Ron: What are trees and that good for?
Laura: Shade.
Ron: No, you had a f****** mental breakdown about this.
Ron: Think about it.
Laura: Forests.
Ron: What are you doing?
Laura: Nothing.
Ron: What are you doing?
Ron: Focus up.
Laura: Carbon dioxide.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So they suck up carbon dioxide.
Laura: Just like use my mental breakdown as a teaching method.
Ron: You used it for your work before.
Ron: I thought it was and this is your work.
Laura: Yeah, we are to use it as a carrot.
Ron: Laura, can you focus up, please?
Laura: F****** writing down carbon dioxide.
Laura: Your little wish.
Ron: You are demonstrably drawing something I've actually finished drawing.
Laura: Okay?
Laura: Look, I've drawn an oven.
Ron: You spent so long on that and it's a bit s***, to be honest.
Laura: You kept interrupting me.
Ron: Right.
Ron: Are you focused now?
Laura: In America, they use toaster ovens.
Ron: There's all of this Chinese takeaway discourse going on at the moment.
Ron: As if we don't have bigger problems.
Laura: No.
Laura: What is the Chinese takeaway discourse?
Laura: Is this between you and Judith?
Laura: Who's talking about this?
Ron: Twitter is ablaze.
Ron: No, some nice seeming woman from the UK ordered a Chinese and she ordered quite a lot of food.
Ron: And then America went, oh, my God.
Ron: I can't believe that's what the British call it.
Ron: Chinese.
Ron: Oh, my God.
Ron: She's got chips with her Chinese.
Ron: Oh, my God.
Ron: Like this.
Ron: And then everyone in the UK is going, Hold the f*** up.
Ron: And they're all defending this nice woman that ate a Chinese once and put it on TikTok.
Ron: And then there's been loads of posts about why Chinese food is the way that it is in the UK and how we're all very aware that's not the food that they eat in China.
Ron: But then through all of this, I saw one interesting post and it was kind of an attack ad aimed at America.
Ron: But it was quite interesting because she was pointing out how Americans do that a lot.
Ron: Like, they say toaster oven, we will just say toaster and they say tuna fish, we just say tuna.
Ron: And there's loads of stuff like that.
Laura: But a toaster oven, it is like a big free standing I think it is essentially just a grilling thing, but it's like oven shaped, but it's not like a fan or convection oven, it's just got a grill in it, I think, but it's not like a slots down bread goes in kind of a thing.
Ron: Interesting.
Ron: But they do have those as well.
Laura: Real housewives that I'm on, this one woman is like trying to market a whole branded toaster oven and a recipe book of things you can cook in it.
Ron: Wow, you're really going full Will Duggan, aren't you?
Laura: I made a snail out of blue tack.
Ron: Right, so, Laura, so we got CO2.
Laura: On carbon dioxide, goes in Gluten.
Ron: Yeah, we got but we're not done yet.
Ron: There's two inputs and two outputs.
Ron: So CO2 plus diagram.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Plus what is the other thing that famously plants need?
Laura: Water.
Ron: Yeah, CO2 plus water.
Laura: CO2 plus H two O equals glucose.
Ron: Which is C six h twelve six.
Laura: That's a lot.
Ron: Plus oxygen, which is can you balance that equation, please?
Laura: Bloody h***.
Laura: Right, well, I know I need at least twelve H two O's to get twelve hydrogens.
Laura: No, six.
Ron: There we go.
Laura: So that will be six H two O's at least.
Laura: Let's do that in pink for now, because it might need changing.
Laura: Oh, it's not pink, it's a brown gel pen.
Laura: Why would you even make that colour, then?
Laura: I've got that balances the oxygens.
Laura: But wait a minute, I also need six carbons, so I've got to make that a six, too.
Laura: Now I've got twelve hang on a minute, I've got no awakes to six of those.
Laura: Bloody how 18.
Laura: So six air as well.
Laura: Dead air, dead air, sticky time.
Laura: So I make that six CO2 plus six H two O equals C six h twelve six plus six two.
Ron: Sounds good, Marn.
Laura: Can you at least know if it's right or not?
Ron: It is right.
Laura: I said it isn't what you said.
Laura: You said, sounds good.
Ron: That is right.
Laura: Great.
Ron: Nice.
Ron: And you need to be able to recognise all of these things, obviously, CO2 H two and two you are aware of.
Ron: You need to see C six, h twelve six, and be like, wow, sugar.
Laura: How can I do that?
Laura: See.
Ron: Chew.
Ron: You chew on sugary, sweets.
Laura: Cho, chocolate.
Laura: How can I make that?
Laura: Crunchies holopaloosis.
Ron: Crunchies holler paloozas.
Ron: Yeah, keep going.
Ron: No need to look back now.
Laura: Cool holiday oranges.
Laura: Cool holiday oranges.
Laura: No, because I'm going to need to remember the numbers too, aren't I?
Ron: Six.
Laura: Cool.
Laura: And December is the 12th month holiday, so C, six.
Laura: Cool.
Laura: There were six of us growing up in December and we each had a chocolate orange.
Ron: Then why don't we make the C stand for chocolate?
Laura: No, chocolate.
Ron: Or holiday orange.
Laura: Six chocolate holiday December oranges six.
Ron: Oh, God, that's that's some of the most vapid nonsense we've come out with.
Ron: It a while.
Ron: Six.
Ron: Cool.
Ron: December for December.
Laura: I'm going to remember that forever now, though.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: And then the last thing that you need to know in this specific section about the photosynthesis reaction, it says students should be able to describe photosynthesis as an endothermic reaction.
Laura: Endothermic means it gains heat, it's taking energy in.
Ron: Yes.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: And that makes sense because the light's coming down from the sun and then it's absorbing that.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: And then it just puts the sugar down the vegetable tubes to the roots.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: And then the opposite of an endothermic reaction is an exothermic.
Ron: Yes.
Laura: Exothermic.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: I think that's probably a good place to stop.
Laura: All right.
Laura: I don't feel like we did much.
Ron: No.
Laura: Biology probably good, though, to hold the horses on biology a bit because we're whipping through that one.
Ron: Yeah, I think we're actually pretty equal on a lot of it because physics is so dull that we often just came through a few page.
Laura: Good, because I don't want there to be a world where we've run out of biology but still have to do physics.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: I mean, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Ron: I guess we'll just move straight on to biology a level to bridge the gap.
Laura: It's just another quiz in paradise for 52.
Laura: Oh, ask twice, cause I wasn't listening the first time.
Ron: Do I sound weird to you?
Laura: Always.
Ron: But like, internet quality wise, no.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: Just you sound a bit broken up to me.
Ron: But that's fine if you can't hear it because it's getting recorded your end anyway, isn't it?
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Okay.
Laura: It's my sadness.
Ron: So, Laura, we're doing a biology quiz now.
Laura: Okay.
Ron: Dog noises.
Laura: Just kind of spicy, spicings up.
Laura: Just don't want this to be another repetitive piece of crap episode that Ron hates.
Ron: Did I tell you?
Ron: Oh, God.
Ron: Where was I?
Ron: I can't remember where I was.
Ron: I was hanging out somewhere and there was like I think it was on public transport somewhere in the UK.
Laura: And you just p*****.
Ron: No.
Ron: What?
Laura: What a wacky podcast.
Laura: Whoa.
Laura: Nobody knows what these crazy kids are going to say next.
Ron: No.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: I think it was on public transport in the UK and there was a couple of mid teens, I think we're talking like 1314, quoting those Subway adverts that used to be about, you know, the ones where there was like a big green pepper and he was going like, too hot, too spicy.
Ron: I was like, how have these teens got their hands on that?
Laura: I don't know.
Laura: I don't remember that advocate.
Ron: Do you?
Laura: No.
Ron: I mean, I hadn't thought about it since then, but now it's all you can think about.
Laura: They're probably plants from the Subway corporation.
Laura: We spent a lot of money on that campaign and didn't really work.
Laura: So we're starting like a word of mouth marketing campaign.
Laura: And you've fallen in the trap now.
Ron: I think if there's one thing that Subway needs to do after their founder, I believe, was caught with child pornography.
Laura: On his left the founder.
Laura: I thought that was just an advertising guy.
Ron: I'm pretty sure he's the founder.
Ron: Jared from Subway.
Ron: I don't think they should be roping in a bunch of young boys to do the marketing.
Laura: No fair.
Laura: Stop doing their marketing, then.
Laura: Ron, you are a stereotypical young boy.
Ron: Right.
Ron: I'll anti market for them because I had to once boycott the subway on Tottenham Court Road and I've done it for this coming on nine years now, I have not gone to the subway on Tottenham Court Road.
Laura: I mean, it's much easier for you not to go there now.
Ron: Yeah, but went in, laura, lean away.
Laura: I did, and I covered my mouth, went in.
Ron: There was like a deal where you could get, like, a drink and a sub for, like, a fiverr or something.
Laura: And you just p***** in your drink.
Ron: And I said, hey, can I get this deal, please?
Ron: I want a fanta.
Ron: And I think I ordered the veggie patty, we're going through the motions.
Ron: She said, do you want extra cheese?
Ron: I said, hey, who am I to say, no cheese, please.
Ron: She puts the cheese on, rings it up, it's like eight quid or something.
Ron: I'm like, hey, I asked for this deal.
Ron: And then she was like, Deal doesn't cover extra cheese.
Ron: But that was not explained to me.
Ron: And if anything, I expected to just pay the deal and then pay the cost of the cheese because it's extra cheese.
Ron: But she was like, If I open this sandwich, I'm going to find extra cheese.
Ron: And then I had to say to make me another one without cheese.
Ron: Then I boycotted them for, like, nine years.
Laura: Did you get the sandwich you wanted?
Laura: You make or waste that sandwich?
Ron: I think I paid Ron.
Laura: You should have said, yeah, all right, I'll stand here while you put that sandwich in the bin and you make me another one.
Laura: B****.
Laura: We don't call a b****, because she's just an employee.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Right, let's do this quiz.
Ron: All of our records are very long today.
Laura: That's because you are in a funk.
Laura: And then when I try and spice it up with some fun banter, you get sullen.
Ron: Did you not hear that wicked Subway story I just told?
Laura: Yeah, it's really cool.
Laura: Especially the bit where you just wet yourself and pay for the sandwich at the end.
Ron: Right.
Ron: Laura, do you remember what we covered in the bulk of this episode?
Laura: Bioenergetics.
Ron: So we talked about Photosynthesis mostly, did we?
Ron: And a bit of respiration.
Ron: Yes, we did.
Ron: Now, Laura, what are the two types of respiration?
Laura: Aerobic and anaerobic.
Ron: And what is the difference between them?
Laura: Oxygen, presence or absence?
Ron: Exactly.
Ron: Two marks.
Laura: Boo boo, NUM NUM NUM.
Laura: A savoury mark and then a sweet mark for Mark pudding.
Ron: What?
Ron: It was like inputs and outputs of photosynthesis using the chemical symptoms.
Laura: Deleting my mark pudding.
Laura: I'm so glad I made it without raisins.
Laura: I don't like raisins?
Ron: No, I just under a veloc's window and it's bright outside.
Laura: Same.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So I have to shield my eyes.
Ron: Did you hear the question?
Laura: No.
Laura: Did you ask one?
Ron: I did, yeah.
Laura: Are you asking?
Laura: I'm dancing.
Ron: What are the inputs and outputs of Photosynthesis using the chemical symbols?
Ron: Pleased?
Laura: No.
Laura: What's the chemical symbol for light?
Ron: There isn't one.
Laura: Okay.
Laura: Written down.
Laura: That's the input.
Ron: To a bad start, then.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: It makes it trickier when the notes are follow.
Ron: Light isn't a chemical.
Laura: Isn't it?
Ron: Why?
Laura: Is it energy?
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Hold on.
Laura: Thank you.
Laura: So CO2 for deaf.
Laura: Deafs.
Laura: And then for some reason, I've got water here, so h 20.
Laura: I don't know how that gets in.
Laura: And then it makes I don't know.
Ron: How a plant gets water.
Laura: I suppose I do, actually.
Laura: I water them.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: And then it makes sugar and oxygen.
Laura: C six.
Laura: H twelve.
Laura: Six and two.
Ron: Very nice.
Ron: And what's the catalyst for this happening?
Laura: Light.
Ron: There we go.
Laura: That's why I've drawn the oven.
Ron: Five marks.
Laura: Five big, fat, juicy marks.
Laura: That's like eating a whole packet of donuts.
Laura: I bought a family bag and I ate them all.
Laura: Don't rub yourself and frown like that.
Laura: I don't like it.
Ron: What type of reaction is photosynthesis?
Laura: Laura Sexy endothermic.
Ron: Yes.
Laura: Is that right?
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Yes, that was just remember what endothermic means.
Ron: We're actually going to talk about that.
Laura: More in the book of the episode.
Laura: In energy, keeps in heat.
Ron: Exactly, yeah.
Ron: And that's the quiz.
Ron: We didn't actually end up covering that.
Ron: We talked a lot last time about other random s***.
Laura: How did you find it?
Laura: Repetitive or fun?
Ron: I liked it.
Ron: I like our podcast quite a lot, actually.
Laura: I regret saying f****** show it, you absolute weasel.
Ron: Listen more, everyone.
Laura: Yeah, listen harder.
Laura: Listen again.
Laura: Listen to each episode twice.
Laura: Okay, bye.
Laura: I mean, all I really want to know now is what keishes are you pitching?
Laura: Ron?
Ron: What?
Ron: Quiches.
Ron: What?
Ron: Quiches.
Ron: Quiches for me.
Laura: At least when I do them, I commit to them.
Laura: No?
Laura: Nothing.
Laura: He's just staring at me.
Laura: The dress that I mentioned, by the way, the hideous dress.
Laura: It's on my instagram.
Laura: I'm at Lex, Laura, on Instagram.
Laura: If you go there and scroll down my posts, you'll see the dress.
Laura: I mean, it's the only dress I've posted in a long time.
Laura: Absolutely disgusting.
Laura: Please enjoy it.
Laura: But, yeah, we'll take your quiches this week.
Laura: Let us know.
Laura: What quiche would you pitch?
Ron: I want to hear your best quiche.
Ron: And it has to be a new idea for a quiche.
Ron: Don't just tell me you like a quiche Lorraine.
Ron: Everybody likes a quiche lorraine I want new ideas.
Ron: And then also I want to hear what you think would be the worst thing to go in a quiche.
Ron: That is a conventional food.
Ron: Like broad beans.
Ron: I just think egg into bean in a pastry cup is not how.
Laura: Puts an egg in a bean.
Ron: I think if I was getting coronated.
Laura: Wait, would you ever put beans in an omelette?
Laura: Beans and omelette?
Ron: No, I don't think I would.
Laura: But you do have baked beans and eggs sometimes?
Ron: Yeah, I guess next to an egg.
Ron: But can you imagine it's so squishy that it's a bit different, but just some nicely cooked haracot beans.
Laura: Beans are just always disgusting.
Ron: I think if I was getting chlorinated and I couldn't guillotine myself, I'd just have a coronation pint.
Laura: Oh, that's a good idea.
Ron: Just nice pint.
Ron: X.
Ron: More gold.
Ron: Best pint in the world.
Laura: I think I'd have a sandwich.
Laura: I love sandwiches.
Ron: What would be in it?
Laura: I don't know.
Ron: Beans?
Laura: No, just eggs.
Laura: Six eggs.
Laura: Just two slices of bread and six eggs.
Laura: I don't know what would be in it, but I would never want a quiche.
Laura: Quiche so f****** wet.
Ron: I like quiche, but what they should have done is a coronation chicken quiche.
Ron: I think we discussed this in the episode.
Laura: Yeah, we did.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: All right.
Laura: Anyway, we've got some thank yous.
Laura: Thank you to all of the patrons.
Laura: There's a tiny drum roll on the blanket.
Laura: Thank you to everybody that signed up to be a patron.
Laura: We do need more, so do don't think that the work is done.
Ron: If you like this segment, please subscribe.
Laura: So we can keep doing go to Patreon.com Laura no, not Laura, Lexeducation.
Laura: And become one of these excellent people.
Ron: Such as Abigail Rushby, who is the head of Lex Education Records, the studio where Lex ed crew record and master all the beautiful songs that come out of the podcast, including such hits as The Lady on the Hill With the.
Laura: Ball, Sad Boy, Don't You Go Sad.
Ron: On Me and Get F*****.
Ron: Brackets the science lesson song.
Laura: Thank you to Vari Kirkwood.
Laura: Vari is being trialled as an opair for child of the podcast.
Laura: Laura didn't want this, but Uncle Ron has declared that no more people should be raised with the intense lack of attention that Laura suffers from.
Laura: And so outside input is essential.
Ron: And lastly, Ian could Wallader.
Ron: Kinkish.
Laura: Kinkish.
Laura: Thank you for listening.
Laura: You are the best and brightest of the podcast listeners in the whole world.
Laura: 52 whole episodes.
Laura: We're d*** proud of ourselves.
Ron: Hashtag Telemate challenge.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Let's get 52 listeners to go with our 52.
Laura: I'm joking.
Laura: We've got loads of listeners.
Laura: Actually, it's more than 52.
Ron: At least 60.
Laura: At least 80, mate.
Laura: We've got 80 paid subscribers.
Laura: And then there's the freeloaders hashtag Telemate.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Challenge.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Scream it in their faces.
Laura: Just like, pick them trying to tell you about something quite serious and then just refuse to change the subject off this niche science podcast that you listen to.
Laura: All right, we'll see you next week.
Laura: Love you.
Ron: Bye.
Laura: Love you.
Laura: I hate that kissing.
Laura: Were you kissing for your stuff?
Laura: Ron kept dying and then kissing his stuff when he found it again.
Ron: I love stuff.
Laura: We got her sister into minecraft this week.
Laura: It's been really good.
Ron: We were signing off.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Sorry.
Laura: Bye.
Ron: Bye.
Laura: Nam.
