Laura: Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education.
Laura: It's the Comedy science podcast where comedian that's me, Laura Lexx, tries to learn science.
Laura: Ron her ron brother.
Ron: Ron her ron brother normal.
Laura: Hello, normal brother Ron.
Laura: How's it going, Ron brother.
Laura: Imagine if I did the whole intros outros, only saying the words normal brother Ron.
Ron: That would be a shame, because the intros outros is where you really shine.
Laura: Thank you, Ron.
Laura: This is what I'm good at.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: How's your week been?
Ron: It's good, it's good.
Ron: I've been hitting the gym.
Ron: I've learned a song on guitar that I've been trying to learn for years and I finally how does it go?
Laura: Head, shoulders, knees and toes.
Laura: Knees and toes.
Ron: No good.
Ron: Sleep now.
Laura: Oh, no, he's going to play it for us.
Laura: Oh, some live music on the pod.
Laura: Is this a first?
Laura: This might be a first.
Laura: There was a lot of clamour in the discord for us to do a music lesson where Ron taught me guitar.
Laura: Was it that?
Ron: No, it's green.
Laura: Green.
Ron: Rocky Road by Dave Van Ronck oh.
Laura: That is the name you've made of Dave Van Ronck.
Ron: Dave Van Ronck, the mayor of McDougall Street.
Ron: What are you talking about?
Laura: What are you talking about?
Ron: Talking about Dave Van Ronk.
Laura: I had never heard of Dave Van.
Ron: Him, along with Woody Guthrie, were Bob Dylan's biggest inspirations.
Ron: He is the guy that the film Inside Lewin Davis is based off of.
Laura: Yes.
Laura: That film people.
Ron: That ingest culture that isn't prefixed with the phrase Real Housewives of.
Ron: Have heard of some of these did.
Laura: I watched Real Housewives of Woodstock.
Laura: It just wasn't very good.
Ron: Yeah, I don't think Woodstock's the place that it used to be.
Laura: No, there isn't a Real Housewives of Woodstock.
Laura: I was just joking about your folk culture.
Ron: Good pull.
Laura: I worked out so hard yesterday that I threw up.
Ron: Ron, usually you're throwing up because of lethargy.
Laura: Normally it's just my bad eating habits and lying around on my stomach.
Laura: But yesterday, some hard new weights and I cranked one just too hard.
Laura: Man what are you doing?
Ron: Changing the episode title ron Why?
Ron: Because I think the other one's better.
Laura: What have you changed it to?
Ron: Sand Living?
Laura: Don't you think that gives the bit away?
Ron: No, nobody's going to guess what that is.
Laura: All right, then, fine.
Laura: Well, it's very rainy today, Ron.
Laura: It's not the sort of rain, though, that we can hear it.
Laura: So it's not a rain episode.
Ron: Sad.
Laura: Yeah, it's just musly fizzly rain.
Laura: Is it raining where you are?
Ron: No, but I did wake up to water coming in through the ceiling in the kitchen.
Laura: Oh, no.
Ron: Because that's just what renting in the UK is like.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: That's terrible.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Have you phoned your landlord and ripped them a new one?
Ron: I've emailed and I've submitted a thing through an online portal.
Laura: Oh, that sucks.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Boo.
Laura: We're going to Alton Towers next week.
Ron: We are we are probably expect like, a picture and a half a** post on Instagram about it.
Laura: Yeah, we've been quite bad at Instagram.
Laura: It's hard to think of stuff to do, isn't it?
Ron: It's just a bit tedious, isn't it?
Laura: I wish people would just find the podcast and listen to it without us having to do that.
Ron: We already do this bit.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Can't someone else do that bit?
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Anyway, if you're listening to this and you're not in the discord full X education, could you please, right now, send us a message somehow on Instagram or Twitter or whatever telling us what the opposite of a cow is?
Laura: It's important.
Laura: It's for a thing.
Laura: That's the big request right now.
Laura: Just stop what you're doing and let us know what's the opposite of a cow.
Laura: The only other thing I wanted to say is I'm doing a big charity walk this weekend.
Laura: I'm walking 50 kilometres.
Laura: It's my last charity walk of the year, so if you'd like to sponsor me, please do.
Laura: I'll put the link in the show notes for this.
Laura: Basically just search, just giving and Laura Lexx and it'll come up.
Laura: Chuck me a fiver.
Laura: I'm going to walk 50 kilometres in a day with my mother.
Laura: Just me and Mum for 50 kilometres.
Laura: So sponsor me, please.
Ron: Bit.
Laura: It's going to be tricky.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Have you got any requests before we do the episode, Ron?
Ron: Just everyone be nice to each other.
Ron: If you haven't done anything nice for anyone this week, maybe just spend 15 minutes and do something nice for someone.
Laura: Kiss a cat on the a******.
Laura: Your hair looks very bedheady today, Ron.
Laura: Have you done a whole day at work just like that?
Laura: You're a wonder king.
Ron: I had 2 hours of people quizzing me on the different systems that we use, from the sales to customer management process and all of the automation I've done on it.
Ron: And I did it all with this floppy, fuzzy hair.
Laura: You had a quiz today?
Laura: It's normally me getting quizzed.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Just kind of got grilled on it.
Ron: It was all fine until they asked anything about GDPR compliance and then I.
Laura: Was like, I thought you said Judy PR for a second.
Laura: Then I was like, oh, I thought this was a character from your office.
Laura: I'm Judy PR.
Laura: Hello.
Laura: Let me tell you, I will be PR'ing the crap out of your software systems.
Laura: She's a cowboy.
Ron: I like her.
Laura: Yeah, you should employ her.
Laura: Can I come and work for your company as Judy PR?
Ron: No, you don't know anything about PR.
Laura: I do.
Ron: Then make this podcast big.
Laura: Hey, it's bigger than it would be if I wasn't here.
Ron: Yes, certainly.
Ron: I wouldn't still be doing it.
Laura: You'd never have started.
Ron: No, I wouldn't.
Laura: Just I'm a catalyst.
Laura: Except I do get used up.
Ron: A man sat on his own, calling himself normal, going slowly through the syllabus to no one bad.
Laura: I like this episode.
Laura: I feel like it's a much needed piece of tranquilly in an absolute violent storm of bad.
Laura: Podcasting.
Ron: It's nice.
Ron: Let's let the people listen to it.
Laura: All right.
Laura: Ow.
Laura: All right, beans boy.
Laura: It's biology.
Laura: Please tell me it's not maths.
Laura: Biology again.
Laura: No, it's good biology.
Ron: I think you'll enjoy this episode.
Laura: Good, because I really haven't got the energy to argue with you anymore this weekend.
Ron: No, we're just going to have a cool discussion.
Ron: All right?
Laura: I want to learn.
Ron: Yeah, we'll learn.
Ron: What were we doing last time, Laura?
Laura: The rate of photosynthesis.
Ron: Why are you wearing headphones?
Ron: Why have you been wearing headphones this whole time?
Laura: Because when we're doing these same room episodes, well, you have to have the gain up on the microphone a little bit more and then a lot more bashing of the table and typing and stuff gets in.
Laura: And if I wear headphones, I'm more aware of it while we're doing it.
Laura: And then don't feel so bad that the edit is messy.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So we were doing the rate of photosynthesis synthesis something along those lines.
Ron: Photosynthesis.
Ron: Right.
Ron: Laura, what is the output of Photosynthesis?
Laura: Sugar.
Ron: Another word for sugar or glucose specific.
Ron: Sugar.
Ron: Yes.
Laura: Glucose and carbon dioxide.
Ron: Do plants make more carbon dioxide?
Laura: Oxygen.
Laura: Yes, oxygen.
Ron: If the trees were making carbon dioxide, we'd be like, well done, Ikea.
Ron: Cut down more of them, please.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: No oxygen.
Ron: Yeah, but forget oxygen.
Ron: Get it out of your head.
Ron: We're talking about glucose.
Ron: The first thing you said.
Laura: Yes.
Laura: I feel confused as to why you brought oxygen into my head then.
Ron: Because I asked you what the products of Photosynthesis were.
Ron: You said sugar.
Ron: I said, which sugar?
Ron: And then you said glucose.
Laura: C six.
Laura: H twelve six.
Ron: Holiday oranges.
Ron: Okay, but forget about oxygen.
Ron: Right.
Laura: Gone.
Ron: Just thinking back.
Ron: Glucose.
Laura: Scribbled it off my periodic table.
Ron: 4.4.1 .3 uses of glucose from Photosynthesis.
Laura: There are 4.4.1 point no, that's the.
Ron: Module that we're on.
Ron: 4.4.1 .3.
Laura: S***** death.
Laura: It's a Sunday night record, and I have got, like, the dreads.
Laura: I don't know why I get Sunday.
Ron: You got the Sunday scaries.
Laura: But I don't have a job.
Laura: No, I don't have a job most of the time, and right now I'm on maternity leave, so I double don't have a job.
Laura: Monday means nothing to me.
Laura: It's basically Vienna.
Laura: But here I am, sitting on a.
Ron: Sunday night, like no Antiques Roadshow's about to come on.
Ron: The whole house smells of gravy.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Vienna bruce.
Ron: That wicked old crone.
Laura: I don't think she hosted it during my years of sitting through that on a Sunday evening.
Ron: The old man.
Laura: Yeah, the old man.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: But now it's Fiona Bruce and she's wicked.
Laura: Is she?
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: I bet she has real fierce sex.
Ron: Yeah, probably.
Laura: Oh, good for her.
Laura: Well done, Fiona Bruce.
Ron: No.
Ron: F***.
Ron: Fiona bruce.
Laura: Would you no, no.
Ron: She's evil.
Laura: Who's your older woman crush?
Ron: Oh, there are many.
Ron: How old are we talking?
Laura: What's your oldest?
Ron: I mean, everyone fancies Helen Mirren.
Laura: True.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: All right, I've got a weird thing for Sue Perkins.
Laura: That's not weird.
Laura: Sue Perkins is hot.
Ron: Yeah, she's hot.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Anyway right, okay.
Ron: Laura, what is the glucose that Photosynthesis creates?
Ron: I'm just going to start calling that PS because I'm really struggling to say Photosynthesis.
Ron: What is the glucose from PS for?
Laura: Energy.
Ron: What process takes that glucose?
Ron: Makes it usable energy?
Ron: Because you're right.
Laura: What the f*** is happening?
Ron: That was a clue.
Laura: Pause.
Laura: I hate that.
Ron: What am I doing?
Laura: Panting.
Ron: I'm doing a pant on my extreme version of drowning.
Ron: No, opposite.
Laura: Sand living.
Ron: Sand living.
Ron: Breathing.
Laura: That's the opposite of drowning.
Laura: Water dying.
Laura: Sand living.
Ron: You think of sand as the opposite of water?
Laura: Yeah, because at the beach, you're either in the water or you're on the sand.
Ron: But isn't the sand very water adjacent?
Laura: Yeah, but it's dry.
Laura: It's not the water, it's the land.
Ron: Yeah, but like, candy floss or a gerkin aren't the water.
Laura: We've had this conversation, my good friend of the podcast Alice, opposites of things.
Laura: Like people will often do that.
Laura: Alice Nick's wife artist.
Laura: We have several of her paintings downstairs.
Ron: Ape.
Ron: I know.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Who the f*** is Alice?
Ron: As a quote from Dad's hat.
Laura: You're very hard to read.
Laura: Anyway, you're bad at reading people.
Laura: I don't think that's kind.
Laura: You're not kind to me.
Laura: Treat me very disposably.
Ron: Full.
Laura: Oh, God.
Laura: What's the question?
Ron: We were talking about the fact that you think of sand as the opposite of water.
Laura: Then you said oh, I don't you asked me what the opposite of drowning was.
Ron: You said sand living.
Ron: And then you were spinning a yarn about you and Alice about how when.
Laura: People like, what's the opposite of a cow?
Laura: A lot of people would say, like, horse.
Laura: What's the opposite of a that yes, they would.
Laura: Why would anyone think that a horse is because it's like the opposite, but actually the opposite of a cow is.
Ron: I'm going to tweet out from Lexx education right now, what's the opposite of a cow?
Ron: And we will see what people say.
Ron: Are you doing that?
Ron: Is that what you're typing?
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: No, don't do that.
Laura: Don't do that.
Ron: Edit it out.
Ron: It's my edit.
Ron: No, it's not.
Ron: F****** we're recording right now.
Ron: Need to settle beef brackets, pun intended.
Ron: Not pin pun.
Ron: So full.
Ron: What's the opposite of a cow?
Ron: I've tweeted that and we'll see what comes back in.
Ron: God, I'm so full.
Ron: Right, okay.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Sorry.
Ron: Carry on.
Ron: You were talking so opposite of a cow.
Ron: Horse, apparently.
Ron: Opposite of a chair, you're saying is a table that I'd say is better.
Laura: Why?
Laura: They've both got four legs.
Laura: Can't be opposite.
Ron: You said it.
Ron: Okay.
Laura: I don't even know how we got here.
Laura: I can handle the science confusing me, but not just the conversation.
Ron: You said that the opposite of drowning.
Laura: It's very hard to come up with the actual opposites of things.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Because do you go for the thing that seems like the antithesis of the thing that you said?
Ron: Or do you go for something that's so different in every facet?
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Is the opposite of white, black, or is the opposite of white like a bag of Skittles?
Laura: Exactly.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: So I don't see why sand can't be sand.
Laura: Living can't be the opposite of drowning.
Ron: I'm not saying you're wrong, I just think that's quite funny.
Laura: Okay, what are we doing?
Ron: So, what's glucose for?
Laura: Oh, that's where we were.
Laura: Energy.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: And how do we get the energy out of the glucose?
Laura: Eating.
Ron: No.
Ron: That's how we get the glucose.
Laura: Is it?
Ron: Yes.
Ron: You eat it.
Ron: That's what food is.
Laura: Digestion.
Laura: No, you break it down.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Saliva.
Ron: Break the food down.
Ron: No.
Laura: What?
Ron: How do we get energy out of glucose?
Laura: Break the molecules apart.
Ron: Enduring what process?
Laura: Digestion.
Ron: Don't say dry digestion, because I've said no to that.
Ron: That one's eliminated.
Ron: Put that in a box over there that says no on it.
Ron: Don't say pooing.
Ron: I saw that crest your mouth like a prairie dog ready to be curled out.
Ron: But it was wrong.
Laura: It's not digestion.
Ron: No.
Ron: What is digestion?
Laura: Absorption.
Ron: No.
Ron: What is digestion for?
Ron: So I eat some slippery chicken from the Chinese takeaway.
Laura: Oh, that Chinese was so bad.
Ron: It was real bad.
Ron: Okay.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: I eat the slippery chicken.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: What does digestion do to that chicken?
Laura: Dissolves it in acid.
Ron: Acids.
Ron: There.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Catalyst.
Laura: What?
Ron: What's digestion for?
Laura: Energy.
Laura: Oh, my God.
Laura: I feel like I'm in a hall of mirrors.
Laura: I'm right.
Laura: But you're not saying it.
Ron: But you're not right.
Laura: How can I not be?
Ron: Everything else she says, completely scientifically accurate.
Ron: How could this be the one?
Ron: C**** in the armour heaven.
Ron: Betsy, laura's got no science thing wrong.
Ron: How can it be?
Ron: Digestion doesn't get the energy out of your food.
Laura: What does, then?
Ron: Respiration.
Laura: No, it can't.
Laura: She's not doing food in your lungs.
Ron: You don't respire from your lungs.
Laura: I thought respiration was breathing.
Ron: Breathing gets the oxygen in.
Ron: Oxygen helps you respire.
Ron: Respiration happens in mitochondria.
Laura: Powerhouse of the cell.
Ron: That powerhouse of the cell.
Ron: Because what is power?
Ron: It's energy.
Laura: ATP.
Ron: ATP?
Ron: Adenosine, triphosphate.
Laura: So you're not breathing in your lungs, you're breathing in all your cells.
Ron: You respire in all of your cells.
Ron: Mrs.
Ron: Gren.
Ron: Mrs.
Ron: Nerd.
Ron: The R stands for respiration.
Ron: Even things that don't have lungs are respiring.
Ron: All of your cells are respiring in their mitochondria all the time.
Laura: Hang on.
Laura: 1234 people have said horse is the opposite of a cow.
Ron: If these people are in the discord, I'm going to punch you in the tit.
Laura: Why?
Ron: Because you asked them to say horse.
Laura: I did not.
Ron: You did.
Laura: I didn't.
Ron: So we're going to ignore Carol, we're ignoring Jenny, we're ignoring Neil and we're ignoring Sir John Tompkins.
Laura: Why?
Ron: Because they've all said the thing that you asked them to.
Laura: They haven't.
Ron: Apart from maybe Sir John Tompkins, because he said yeah.
Ron: Horsey.
Ron: He seems like he's picked it up from somewhere else.
Ron: I can't believe you ruined that.
Laura: I didn't ruin it.
Ron: You did.
Ron: Now it's worthless.
Laura: I got the answer we needed.
Ron: No.
Laura: I made the experiment run cleanly.
Ron: No, you didn't.
Laura: I did.
Ron: You didn't.
Ron: Ruined it.
Ron: You ruined it.
Laura: I made it beautiful.
Ron: Anyway, shut up about this.
Ron: Now.
Ron: Respiration.
Ron: Where does respiration happen?
Laura: Everywhere.
Laura: In your cells.
Ron: Happens in all of your cells.
Ron: Where?
Ron: In your cells.
Laura: Mitochondria.
Ron: Yes, absolutely.
Ron: What is respiration?
Laura: Breathing.
Ron: No, remember, we've just been through this.
Laura: No, it's hang on, hang on.
Laura: I've decided to make some notes.
Laura: Respiration.
Laura: Not just for the lungs, not just at all in the lungs.
Ron: Well, the cells in your lungs are respiring as well.
Laura: Cells are mitochondria respiration.
Laura: So respiration is turning oxygen into glucose.
Ron: Where do we get the glucose from?
Ron: Where does glucose come from?
Laura: What sugar?
Ron: No, sugar.
Ron: Glucose is a type of sugar.
Ron: Where does the glucose come from?
Ron: Cast your mind back.
Ron: It's the only other reaction.
Ron: We've talked about this episode.
Laura: I think you want me to say photosynthesis.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: A human's photosynthesizing.
Ron: No.
Laura: So we're just talking about plants right now?
Ron: No, we eat the f****** plants.
Laura: The plants?
Ron: Yes, the sun.
Ron: The sun is energy.
Ron: All glucose.
Ron: That energy radiates down onto the Earth.
Laura: The plants does that filibustering thing for a million years and then comes the plants.
Ron: Photosynthesize.
Ron: Photo, as in light.
Ron: We get the energy from the sun.
Ron: The plants take carbon dioxide from the air and water and they use the light and they turn that into glucose.
Ron: We come along.
Ron: We either eat a rabbit that's eaten a plant or we eat the plants.
Ron: We get the energy from there.
Laura: Eating the sun.
Laura: We are all we should make a restaurant called Eating the sun.
Ron: Why?
Laura: Because that's what we're doing.
Ron: That's what everyone's doing.
Ron: Not special for noticing again.
Laura: S******* on me for no reason.
Laura: Fine.
Laura: Just say the next bit then.
Laura: If I can't have fun with any.
Ron: Of it, we can have fun with it.
Laura: Well, yeah.
Laura: And all I get is you're not special?
Laura: Shut your mouth.
Ron: So what is respiration?
Ron: Laura.
Laura: Making ATP from glucose and oxygen.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: Well done.
Laura: Listen to you, choking on the words well done.
Ron: That is one use for the glucose that we get from photosynthesis.
Ron: Okay.
Laura: Yes.
Ron: What else could we do with it?
Laura: Store it.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Very nice.
Ron: Can you think of a way in which glucose is stored?
Laura: Roots.
Ron: That's a place where they could be stored.
Ron: How is it stored in those roots?
Laura: Cells.
Ron: Again, that's a location where it could be stored.
Ron: And it's not wrong.
Ron: What's a root where a plant has stored a lot of energy.
Laura: Potato.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: What's in a potato?
Laura: Potato starch.
Ron: Very nice.
Ron: What is starch?
Laura: I don't know, actually, because sometimes it's breakfast and sometimes it's like making your shirt stiff.
Laura: In the Victorian times, when starch breakfast a good starchy breakfast, start your day right, that sort of thing.
Ron: Maybe.
Ron: Do you know what starch is?
Ron: No, you just said that.
Ron: You didn't.
Ron: Shall I tell you?
Ron: You want to know?
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Starch is starch.
Ron: Do you know the word polymer?
Laura: Plastic.
Ron: A lot of plastics are polymers.
Ron: But do you know what a polymer is?
Laura: A multi mermaid.
Ron: Multi is correct.
Ron: Poly mermaid not correct.
Ron: So polymer is many.
Ron: There is the opposite of a polymer is a monomer.
Laura: Okay.
Ron: So you can think of monomers as the building blocks of a polymer.
Laura: Monomer makes a polymer.
Ron: Can you think of any monomers that you know of?
Laura: Oxygen.
Laura: I was just singing monomer in my head instead of listening to what a monomer is.
Laura: Can you tell me again so I can have a think?
Ron: I told you after we finished singing.
Ron: But yes, I will tell you again.
Ron: I'll tell you again.
Ron: A monomer is a building block of a polymer.
Laura: Right.
Laura: What's a polymer?
Ron: A lot of monomers, right?
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Can you think of anything in biology?
Laura: We're thinking in a biological skip my biology.
Laura: Like a cell organelle.
Laura: You want to go smaller?
Ron: We're thinking on a molecular scale.
Ron: You could think kind of as cells that are monomers that build up a body, but we're thinking on a molecular scale.
Laura: So elements?
Laura: No, molecular I thought molecules were elements.
Ron: Molecules are made of atoms, but we're thinking on a molecular scale, not an atomic scale.
Laura: Carbon.
Ron: Again, element.
Ron: We're thinking of molecules.
Laura: Two carbons stick together.
Laura: Carbon dioxide.
Ron: Name a molecule.
Laura: Carbon dioxide.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: Carbon dioxide is a molecule.
Ron: Do you ever just get like a long chain of carbon dioxides?
Laura: I think not from your tone.
Ron: Good picking up on social cues, Laura.
Ron: Well done.
Ron: No, diamond is a giant molecular lattice, isn't it?
Laura: There's no filibuster's ball follibim's Fibonacci's bollock.
Laura: What was that thing?
Ron: A bucky ball.
Laura: A bucky ball bucklerine.
Laura: That was it.
Ron: Well, no, because that's a sphere.
Ron: So you're not going to get lots of spheres in a big chain or something, are you?
Ron: A monomer is a building block of a polymer.
Ron: Think of something where we have, like, little building blocks and then they build up something bigger.
Laura: I thought I have given several suggestions and somehow none of them have been right.
Ron: None of your suggestions have been right.
Laura: They haven't been thick.
Ron: No, you're on the right tracks.
Ron: What about DNA?
Laura: What about it is that one shall I just say DNA?
Ron: No.
Ron: What's DNA?
Laura: RNA.
Ron: RNA is another example.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: What are DNA or RNA made up of?
Laura: Protein.
Laura: No.
Ron: Protein is another example.
Ron: Proteins are polymers.
Ron: So DNA is a code, isn't it?
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Deoxyribosenucleic acid.
Ron: DNA is made up of nucleotides.
Ron: ATGC.
Ron: See where I'm going with this?
Laura: No, but I'll come with you.
Ron: So DNA is a polymer.
Ron: The monomers are the nucleotides, the g the T, the A, the C, the guanine, the adenosine, the god.
Ron: Why?
Ron: Cytosine.
Ron: Cytosine and t the thiamine.
Ron: Thiamine.
Ron: Yeah, I remember.
Laura: We can't both have a breakdown, Ron.
Ron: Cytosine.
Ron: What is the cyto means?
Laura: Cytoplasm.
Ron: No, don't just say things.
Ron: Cytosine.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Cytosine.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Don't doubt yourself, Ron.
Ron: You're great.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: So DNA is a polymer.
Ron: Those are the monomers.
Ron: Protein also a polymer.
Ron: What are the monomers for a protein?
Laura: I don't know.
Ron: Amino acids.
Laura: Oh.
Ron: Starch.
Ron: Is starch a polymer?
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Glucose is the monomer.
Ron: What benefits do you think so plants make starch.
Ron: What are the benefits to the plant of turning their glucose into starch?
Ron: Into the polymer?
Laura: Longer shelf life.
Laura: Why less reactive?
Laura: Because they've reacted to each other.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So starch has a very particular structure.
Ron: It's kind of a branch structure, and it's all curly.
Ron: And because they've built it into that for you to then digest it.
Ron: Well, no, for you to then respire with it, you'd have to digest it, break it back down into the monomers.
Ron: So longer shelf life.
Ron: In that respect, name another reason.
Laura: Takes up less space.
Laura: Pack it away.
Ron: More compact.
Ron: Absolutely.
Ron: You store it in the vacuoles, in the cells, in the roots.
Ron: Very nice.
Ron: What is a very useful property of glucose that you would not want when storing it?
Ron: Think about maybe if you're putting it.
Laura: In your easy absorption, you don't want to absorb it into the cells, you're storing it.
Ron: Why is it easy to absorb?
Ron: Cause think about putting in your tea or something.
Laura: Key lock and key method.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So there are enzymes for it.
Ron: But why is it easy to absorb?
Laura: Dissolves.
Ron: Yeah, it's soluble.
Ron: It's water soluble.
Ron: Starch isn't.
Ron: So if you were just trying to store a bunch of glucose in a cell, it's going to dissolve and it's all going to wash out the cell, isn't it?
Laura: Oh, I don't understand, though.
Laura: If it's the same stuff, how is one soluble and one isn't?
Laura: When it's just one thing pretending to be another thing.
Ron: Because if you take one little grain of sugar, that's going to dissolve really quickly, isn't it?
Ron: If you take a big sugar cube, that's going to take ages to dissolve, isn't it?
Ron: Starch is a huge, huge molecule.
Ron: Water is tiny.
Ron: You can't dissolve something that big in water.
Ron: Whereas glucose very, very small.
Laura: Okay.
Ron: Very nice.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: There is another way.
Ron: So that's how plants store energy.
Ron: How do animals imagine if we had.
Laura: Like, potatoes in our toes because they're our roots.
Ron: Yeah, nice.
Ron: But how do animals store their energy in fat cells?
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Lipids.
Ron: Absolutely.
Ron: Very nice.
Ron: Why do we convert the why don't we just make starch?
Ron: Why do we convert it to fat?
Laura: Sexy in it.
Laura: Fat.
Ron: Sometimes, certain time periods.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Victorians loved it.
Laura: Whereas if you just had a load of plant leaves be kind of crunchy.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: I don't think we'd fancy each.
Ron: If collars are being honest to us.
Ron: No.
Ron: But why do we make fat?
Laura: I don't know.
Laura: Maybe because it's got other things.
Laura: It does.
Laura: Like it keeps us warm as well.
Laura: So it's double helpful.
Ron: Yeah, that's one reason.
Ron: Maybe another one.
Laura: It's light to carry around, in a sense.
Ron: But more than lightness would be something we'd factor in, because air is light, but we don't just store loads of air inside.
Ron: But what property does fat have over starch?
Ron: Soft that we want.
Ron: So you've clocked that it's our work is our way of storing energy versus starch.
Ron: But, you know, it would be if if starch was the best way to store something.
Ron: If starch was the best way to store something, we'd just eat a potato, it would have starch in it.
Ron: And then we'd put that starch away, wouldn't we?
Ron: If that was the best way to store it for us.
Ron: But we don't do that.
Ron: So why do we convert it to fat?
Laura: Because that is the best storage for us.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: Why?
Laura: I don't know.
Ron: So yeah, it's insulated.
Ron: It's insulating.
Ron: What has more calories, a spoonful of potato or a spoonful of fat?
Ron: If you're eating, like if you just if you were to take a fat yeah.
Ron: If you were eating an apple and that apple was made out of starch, it would have less calories than if that apple was made out of bacon rinds.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: So fat is more space, convenient calorically dense.
Ron: Yes, because fats are basically strings of carbons with hydrogens attached to them.
Ron: Okay, so draw just like C.
Ron: How many bonds does each carbon make?
Ron: Chlorine.
Laura: The middle one's got two.
Laura: So let's assume they've all got two.
Ron: No, that's the chain of carbons.
Ron: But you know, carbon, we've talked about carbon loads.
Ron: How many bonds does a carbon make?
Ron: Think about diamond.
Laura: Four.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Imagine that string just goes on.
Ron: Draw more carbons.
Laura: If you were just thirsty, you could just have a drink.
Laura: You don't have to set me drawing seas in a line.
Ron: Look, one hand shakes the other.
Ron: Okay?
Ron: So now there's a hydrogen filling up each one of those spare bonds and each of those carbons draw those hydrogens in.
Ron: You can stop each hydrogen to carbon.
Ron: Bond represents like a unit of energy that we can store in it.
Ron: Taking that on and off is where we get the energy from, because there's energy stored in bonds.
Ron: Now, remember the formula for glucose C?
Laura: Six h.
Laura: Twelve.
Laura: Six.
Ron: How many bonds are there between carbons and hydrogens in a glucose C?
Ron: Six h.
Ron: Twelve.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: There's twelve hydrogens.
Laura: Two.
Ron: What?
Ron: There's twelve hydrogens.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: But there's six carbons.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: But there's twelve hydrogens.
Ron: So there's twelve bonds between hydrogens and carbons.
Laura: Okay.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So in a fat like you've just drawn there, each carbon is bonded two hydrogens and it's really dense.
Ron: But just in these strings, all of these hydrogens packed in there, each glucose molecule, you only get twelve because see how there's fewer of them.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: So it's more calorically dense?
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: Moving away from energy storage, can you hazard a guess as to something else that we might do with glucose when we ingest it or what plants might do with it when they having it?
Laura: Just enjoying it?
Ron: No, plants don't enjoy things.
Laura: They do.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: But no.
Laura: There'S some lovely fox gloves in my garden at the moment.
Laura: Um, they repair themselves with it.
Ron: Pull that thread.
Ron: They might.
Ron: So for us, you know, glucose is just an organic molecule.
Ron: It is essentially just made up of carbons, oxygens and hydrogens.
Ron: So we can turn that into other stuff.
Ron: So humans or animals can turn glucose into amino acids.
Ron: What are amino acids for?
Laura: Proteins.
Ron: They're the monomer to proteins polymer.
Ron: Exactly.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: What else would you need to turn glucose, or the constituents of glucose, into an amino acid?
Ron: What's missing?
Laura: Protein acid.
Ron: What's an acid?
Laura: I don't know.
Ron: Would you need protein to make a building blocks of protein?
Laura: Aminos.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: What's an amino group?
Ron: When we talked about functional groups?
Laura: I don't know.
Ron: So sad.
Ron: I thought this was quite a nice one.
Ron: Interesting.
Laura: It was.
Laura: And then all my glucose ran out from the boost I ate, and I just want to look somewhere out.
Laura: You brought me another boost.
Ron: I brought that for me, but you can have it.
Laura: Thank you.
Laura: It's really melted.
Ron: Yeah, because you keep them in the fridge.
Ron: So I put it in my pocket to warm it up.
Laura: Sugar.
Ron: It's full of glucose.
Laura: What's the question?
Laura: I'm sorry?
Ron: What's an amino group?
Laura: It.
Ron: You don't know.
Ron: I can see it in your eyes I can see from your vacant expression the lies are not alone upstairs do.
Laura: You know what's frustrating?
Ron: We are talking group sense.
Ron: Yes.
Laura: The way my brain works means that you're right.
Laura: I can't remember what an amino group is, but I know where on the page my notes about what they are are for that page.
Laura: And I remember making jokes about them sounding like baddies in a Christmas film.
Laura: Um.
Ron: They were wearing 20 different hats.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Nitrogen.
Ron: You need nitrogen.
Ron: Basically, it so in us, we get nitrogen from other things that we're eating in plants.
Ron: You might have heard of the nitrogen cycle.
Ron: Some plants trap nitrogen in the soil, others don't.
Laura: Is that like the London to Brighton?
Ron: That's when you have to sort of do crop rotation?
Ron: I think it might be.
Ron: Beans put nitrogen in the soil.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So that's so that plants can make proteins.
Ron: You put way too much boost in your mouth.
Ron: Now you're just swilling it around, but it's a solid.
Ron: It's not working.
Ron: Really?
Ron: Looks like you're trying to gargle a boost.
Ron: What's happening?
Ron: Laura?
Ron: We need to stop, don't we?
Ron: Your clock stopped.
Ron: That says it's 10:15.
Ron: Maybe now wasn't the time for a boost.
Laura: Oh, my God.
Ron: Dead air.
Laura: I'm just so used to them being firm from the.
Laura: Fridge.
Laura: I haven't had a sloppy one in so long.
Ron: How long have we been recording?
Laura: 35 minutes.
Ron: Okay, so amino acids, the monomers to a proteins polymer.
Ron: There's one final use case only for plants.
Laura: Yeah, we want me to say it?
Ron: Have a chat.
Laura: Lead me closer to the gate, throw.
Ron: Something out and then we'll narrow in like we have done the whole I.
Laura: Was already stuck before the last one.
Laura: Colours, they have to be colourful.
Laura: Plants.
Laura: Pollen, water.
Ron: No.
Laura: Please help.
Ron: So, plants, do you know what cellulose is?
Laura: It's the stuff on your thighs.
Ron: Cellulite.
Laura: Cellulose is presumably the product to get rid of the cellulite, then.
Ron: No, cellulose is what the cell wall of plants is made out of.
Laura: Right.
Ron: Plants can make that out of glucose that they have taken from the air.
Laura: That'll be like me having hair made of Hula Hoops.
Ron: You do have hair made of Hula Hoops?
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Oh, my God.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: My lunch hoops are in my hair in more ways than one.
Ron: And lunch hoops are made out of air.
Laura: Plants.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Made out of air.
Laura: My God.
Ron: The air is made out of stars.
Ron: Those stars are made out of older stars.
Ron: And all of that's made from a speck.
Laura: It's all space dust, clumping and squishing.
Ron: Yeah, that's the lesson.
Laura: I actually had a really good time, Ron, until the end, when I got confused.
Ron: Yeah, you lost it.
Ron: It's too late to record.
Laura: I'm tired.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Your eyes gone red, has it?
Laura: This one is my twitchy one.
Ron: If the eye twitches twitching real bad.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: All right.
Laura: But I feel like this is the most progress we've made in an episode in some time.
Ron: It's a nice way of doing it, isn't it?
Ron: When we just kind of talk it through like that.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: You be like this every week and we'll be f*****.
Ron: We can only do this when I care.
Laura: No, you have to pretend to care.
Laura: I have to pretend to care every week.
Ron: Yeah, but we both have to pretend to care.
Ron: Neither of us do.
Laura: No.
Laura: Okay.
Laura: All right.
Laura: I don't think I'll get much right in the quiz, because I've enjoyed it, but we'll see.
Ron: The tired, dead stare of Justin when he's doing anything in.
Laura: That show, even when he's Mr Tumble.
Ron: I've not watched any of the Mr I've only seen Justin's house, which is a narcissistic, fever dream.
Ron: Like, the questions that the universe that this show exists in raises is numerous and weighty.
Ron: Yeah, why does he why does he live in a town named after himself?
Laura: He clears I think he's like the Lord of just in town.
Ron: But then why does he not have more power?
Ron: Why did he have so much difficulty selling his house?
Ron: Why did he need to sell his house?
Ron: Why doesn't he live in a nicer house?
Laura: This will do for a sound cheque.
Laura: Hang on.
Ron: F****** Justin.
Ron: You're right, Laura.
Laura: Oh, yeah.
Ron: I'm nauseous ron, do you want some Metamusal?
Laura: What's?
Laura: Metamusal.
Ron: It's that gunk.
Laura: I was trying to make everybody drink your gunk.
Laura: Ron's drinking gunk to make his s*** Lomia.
Ron: It's not come out yet.
Laura: Are you bunged up now?
Ron: I can't say that I definitely would have s*** by now.
Laura: Usually Ron basically drank, like, sea soup.
Ron: Oh, God.
Ron: It was like I think yeah, I think you're supposed to basically chug it because if you leave it in the water, it made a loomy s*** in.
Laura: The glass rather than in you.
Ron: Oh, God.
Ron: The chunks were really hard to get down.
Ron: Right, Laurie, can you remember what we were studying last time?
Ron: This time on biology?
Laura: Rate of no.
Laura: Oh.
Laura: Does it feel like we haven't recorded.
Ron: A physics in ages?
Laura: No, it never feels like that.
Laura: Feels like we're always horrifically close to a physics.
Laura: Was it not rate of reactions?
Ron: No, because that wouldn't really be biology, would it?
Laura: But they've all been merging a lot lately.
Laura: Um.
Ron: We have looked at the photosynthesis versus Photosynthesis.
Ron: That was the episode before the last one.
Ron: Well, before this one.
Laura: Wait.
Laura: Sugar tubes, potatoes.
Laura: Starch.
Laura: Starch.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: So we were looking at the different uses of glucose that is produced in Photosynthesis.
Ron: And what we're going to do is just very quickly recap.
Laura: Okay.
Ron: As a quiz, I guess that's kind of what all the quizzes are.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: So where do we get the glucose from?
Laura: The sun.
Ron: What, reaction photosynthesis?
Ron: Yes.
Ron: Robert can also choke as much as you fancy.
Laura: That's Robert the robot from Justin's house.
Laura: Just for anybody listening, that has not got CBBS on from morning till night.
Ron: Yeah, as much as you fancy him.
Laura: I only fancy him when he's Robert the robot, though.
Laura: I Googled him to see if he was hot outside of the silver paint.
Laura: Less so.
Ron: No.
Laura: Yeah, he's not for me, but wow.
Laura: That's a subservient robot that does all my dusting.
Ron: I'm interested Dusting for Laura.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: Dust my cranny, Robert.
Ron: So, where do you want to start?
Laura: Did you ask a question?
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Where do you want to start after five uses for glucose?
Laura: Oh.
Laura: The first one, which is starch.
Ron: That's one wasn't the first one we covered, but sure.
Ron: Why?
Ron: And so that's one mark.
Ron: Why would a plant convert glucose into starch?
Ron: I want two reasons to get the second.
Ron: Mark.
Laura: Um, it's more space efficient.
Ron: Yep.
Laura: And it lasts longer.
Laura: Sorry, did you just blow up my oh, okay.
Laura: I thought you were on the beach stairs.
Laura: Tom's playing Minecraft in the background.
Laura: If you want us to be a more professional podcast, please join the Patreon.
Ron: Or if you want to see us play Minecraft, will someone please write in and tell us how to stream?
Ron: We've asked four times.
Laura: I think that just means nobody wants to see somebody said on the patreon the other day that they wanted to see Minecraft, but they didn't tell us how to do it.
Laura: So we'd have to just invite them around to play with us.
Laura: We could make an open world, though, and then invite people to play at the same time as us.
Laura: We could make a lab rats world.
Ron: That could be quite fun.
Laura: And PlayStation friend people.
Ron: Yeah, that could be quite fun.
Laura: Can we do that safely without getting weirdies?
Ron: Yeah, I think if we just put it out on the patreon, that could be exciting.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: What do you mean by lasts longer?
Laura: Like, doesn't degrade as quickly.
Ron: No, long term storage is part of it.
Ron: But remember we were talking about properties of glucose?
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: They've got that two bed semi in Cornwall for the weekends and a high rise apartment in New York City.
Laura: Manhattan.
Laura: Good one.
Laura: Me too.
Laura: Much stuff coming in.
Laura: Hang on.
Laura: I need to shut everything down.
Laura: Go away, the world.
Laura: I'm being a scientist.
Laura: What was the question?
Laura: Another thing for starch.
Ron: Why is starch a long term storage solution?
Laura: Because it doesn't react as much as glucose.
Laura: Because of all the bonds C and H.
Laura: In a little bus, everything's got four bonds.
Laura: So it's less breakaway.
Ron: Yeah, you keep sort of swerving near it, but then something else, unrelated pops into your head and you say, that the bus metaphor.
Ron: That was something else.
Ron: Four bonds.
Ron: That's diamond.
Ron: No, starch is not diamond.
Laura: And then CCC, H is all around the edges.
Ron: That wasn't starch.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: What's that?
Ron: That was something else.
Ron: Okay, we're going to move on.
Ron: One mark out of two for start.
Laura: What was the other one?
Ron: So, because it's a polymer, it's a large molecule, it doesn't dissolve in water, so it wouldn't just get washed out of the plant all the time.
Laura: Okay.
Ron: Right.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: Name another one.
Laura: Name another.
Laura: What?
Ron: Use for glucose.
Ron: There were five.
Ron: That starch was one.
Laura: Oh, bloody.
Laura: How?
Laura: Eating?
Ron: Why do we eat things?
Laura: Energy.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: What reaction do we get the energy.
Laura: Out of glucose in mitochondria?
Laura: ATP.
Ron: Yeah, what reaction?
Ron: That's an organelle and no.
Ron: Been through this.
Laura: Yeah, I remember the argument.
Laura: I don't remember what the answer was after breathing.
Laura: Respiratory.
Ron: There we go.
Laura: Which we do in every cell.
Ron: Every cell does.
Ron: Remember, Mrs.
Ron: Nerg.
Ron: Mrs.
Ron: Gren?
Ron: This was minutes ago for the yeah.
Laura: Hey.
Laura: I told child of the podcast some science yesterday.
Ron: She's an idiot.
Ron: She doesn't know what you're saying.
Laura: Don't call her an idiot when Tom can hear.
Laura: We do that in secret.
Laura: No, because she was trying to stick her magnets to the vacuum cleaner and I said, no, no, magnets will only stick to a metal.
Laura: A metal is anything that forms a positive ion.
Laura: Teaching her.
Ron: Did you tell her what an ion is?
Laura: No.
Ron: Okay.
Laura: Is an atom with charge.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: All right.
Ron: Learning.
Ron: Okay.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Respiration.
Ron: So that's another mark for the second mark for respiration.
Ron: What are the inputs?
Ron: Actually, no, I'm just going to give you both.
Ron: You said mitochondria.
Ron: You said ATP.
Ron: Well done.
Ron: All right.
Ron: Three more.
Ron: Three marks out of four gained so far.
Laura: Building.
Laura: What?
Laura: Infrastructure inside you?
Laura: Self plant.
Ron: Keep going.
Laura: Repairing.
Ron: No, keep going down the same path.
Laura: Building.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: What does it make?
Ron: That is structural in plants?
Laura: Cellulose.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: What part of a cell?
Ron: A plant cell is cellulose.
Laura: The skin, the walls.
Ron: Cell wall.
Ron: Another two points.
Laura: Yes.
Ron: Sound effect.
Ron: All right.
Ron: Two more.
Laura: Moving.
Ron: Explain.
Laura: Need energy to move.
Ron: Where do we get the energy from?
Laura: The glucose.
Ron: Yep.
Ron: How?
Laura: We're aspiring.
Ron: So have we not already done that?
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Okay.
Laura: There's not building.
Laura: Growing.
Laura: Explain is that same disease is moving.
Laura: I don't think there are anymore.
Ron: You're right.
Ron: The other two were trickos.
Ron: That was a lie.
Ron: Obviously that was a lie.
Ron: So we can make fat or oil.
Laura: Oh, that's the same as growing.
Ron: No, it's not.
Laura: It is.
Ron: In my case.
Ron: It's energy storage.
Laura: We've done my energy one.
Laura: Yes, but that's not a use for glucose energy storage.
Laura: That just is having it.
Laura: Like if I buy a pie and put it in the cupboard, that's not a use for the pie.
Laura: That's just I've got a pie and when I go on to eat it, that's the use of the pie.
Ron: No, because if you were asked at the supermarket, why are you buying the pie?
Ron: One answer might be to eat it when I get home.
Ron: Another answer may be to have it in the cupboard so that it's there for when I need it.
Ron: Another answer may be to give it to someone else.
Ron: Those are all different uses for a pie in the immediate sense.
Ron: Ultimately, everything becomes changed.
Laura: The idea now you're talking about buying the pie.
Laura: I'm talking about storing the pie in the cupboard, which is what you said.
Laura: Energy storage.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: That's different to eating it.
Ron: There's a saying about it having your pie and eating it too.
Laura: No, I just think that that is somewhere between growth and energy.
Ron: But you see that it's different.
Laura: No, I don't like Tom Sniggering in the background.
Ron: We'll be less sniggerful.
Laura: Okay, fine.
Ron: Do you not see that as distinct?
Ron: Converting it into a completely different substance so that you can use it as energy later?
Ron: But you were happy with Starch.
Laura: I'm confused now.
Laura: What are we talking about converting it to?
Ron: Fat.
Laura: Plants have fat.
Ron: No, we do.
Ron: We eat plants.
Laura: We're not talking about plants.
Laura: Oh, yeah, I forget that one.
Laura: Yeah, all right.
Laura: May I?
Laura: Move on.
Ron: And then the other one was using it to produce amino acids for protein synthesis.
Laura: I don't care about those two.
Laura: That's okay.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So you got five out of ten.
Laura: Woof.
Ron: Yeah, but not your worst.
Ron: You got zero in the quiz.
Ron: That just came out.
Laura: Did I?
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: That was mean of you.
Ron: No, it's because you cheated.
Laura: I didn't cheat.
Ron: You did cheat.
Ron: You looked at the answer.
Laura: I needed a win and you came back quicker than expected.
Ron: You needed a win, so you decided to cheat.
Ron: You got zero.
Ron: And what did you think about that, Laura?
Laura: Well, we just let the people listen to it.
Ron: We'd been talking for, like, ten minutes.
Laura: Yeah, all right.
Laura: I was having a nice time.
Laura: The podcast is us talking to each other.
Laura: I don't know why you're so keen to get it over and done with.
Ron: I'm not.
Ron: I was just saying they should listen to the episode.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: I wasn't stopping them.
Ron: All right, have at it.
Ron: Open up.
Laura: Yeah, all right.
Laura: What's the outro now?
Laura: It's a different bit, in it?
Ron: Exactly.
Ron: So now we can talk freely about the episode without ruining it for people.
Laura: All right, go for it, then.
Ron: I didn't want to do any talking.
Ron: That was you.
Laura: Oh, my God, you're so difficult.
Laura: How is this horrible?
Laura: How is this horrible?
Laura: What's wrong with you that you can't just hold a nice, normal conversation?
Laura: You make it s***** and then you sit and stare at me like I've s*** my pants and it's your fault.
Laura: Ow.
Laura: I was going to say a nice thing now, and now I just don't even know if I want to.
Ron: I don't think you're coming off the way that you think you are.
Laura: Neither are you.
Laura: I knew I should have had dinner before we did this.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: I said to Tom, I said, Look, I can either make Spag bowl now or I can go upstairs and record Lexx's education, come down in 2 hours and declare that I'm too hungry to cook.
Laura: And we'll get takeaway.
Laura: And he obviously chose the second option, so now I'm a bit hungry.
Ron: Oh, good.
Ron: Only three more records.
Ron: We know.
Ron: Two more records we need to do.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: And then I'm going to do some editing tonight.
Ron: That's nice.
Laura: Yeah.
Laura: This is a weird outro.
Ron: Yeah, this is bad.
Laura: You f***** it all up.
Laura: You cut the intro before I was ready and now this is intro chat, but it's happening in the outro.
Laura: It's a mess.
Ron: Grow up.
Laura: Anyway, we hope you enjoyed the episode.
Laura: I think the bit where you gave up talking and just joined in on singing Monamo bit of the podcast that we've ever done, I just felt you go, Why fight it?
Laura: It was good.
Laura: Yeah, it was a good bit.
Laura: I liked it.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Should we tell the people what the other episode titles from last week were?
Laura: Let's do it.
Laura: Ronnie honks.
Laura: Possible options for episode 58 were this is going to suck.
Ron: The oil.
Laura: Man wetter than it should be sufficient.
Laura: Brown very nearly was what we called it.
Ron: Buttermelon fartcast with Iona and lem.
Laura: I won't try, I won't, I try, I won't, I try.
Laura: I think it was that I think it was that intermittent.
Laura: I won't, I try that doesn't scan.
Ron: So it's good we didn't I remembered triangle.
Laura: Oh.
Laura: A description of you.
Laura: A really ungrateful woodworm.
Ron: How would you arrive at a Pyella stand.
Laura: That is what we called it.
Laura: A giddy uncontrollable boy.
Ron: That's what is bold.
Laura: We definitely called it.
Laura: How would you arrive at a Pyella stand?
Ron: X pi coagulated on a filtrum?
Ron: No idea.
Laura: Or the peak of music.
Laura: 2002.
Laura: Yeah, no one would ever Google that, though, Ron, so that would have been a terrible title.
Ron: Well, what's it called?
Ron: SEO would have been great.
Laura: No, it wouldn't, because nobody is ever searching that.
Ron: Yeah, but if you were searching it, this would come up, which is not.
Laura: Helpful, because, one, if you're searching that, you've got no taste in anything, so you're going to find this and hate it.
Laura: Two, nobody's searching that except you and you already know about again.
Ron: If I called it the Desperate Housewives of 2002, you'd be well in.
Laura: Yeah, I've watched Loads of Desperate Housewives from 2002.
Ron: Then why are you slagging off 2002?
Laura: Because you're a weird, sad little boy who is like, I want it to be 2002 so I can be seven and be at festivals watching bands.
Laura: Just watch them now.
Laura: Just listen to those CDs now.
Ron: I do.
Laura: Well, not CDs.
Laura: God, that is the oldest I've sounded in a long time.
Laura: I don't know why you dream those MP3 s now.
Ron: I don't know why you're sticking your ore in.
Ron: You only listen to things from musicals.
