 Laura: Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast, where comedian me, Laura Lexx, tries to learn science from her non comedian younger brother, Ron.

Laura: Hello, Ron.

Ron: Hello, Laura.

Ron: That's a very professional voice you're using.

Laura: I was sort of going for a bit of a no such thing as a fish Radio Four vibe.

Ron: I like it.

Ron: You should be on the radio.

Laura: I should be on the radio more, shouldn't I?

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: I've got a lovely voice.

Ron: You've got a nice voice.

Ron: You've got nice opinions.

Laura: I've got great opinions.

Ron: You're not overly daft, just a good amount.

Laura: Yeah.

Laura: I can be whimsical or cutting.

Ron: Yeah, you can be quite severe sometimes.

Laura: Yeah.

Laura: How are you?

Ron: You know, I'm very content at the moment.

Laura: That's nice.

Laura: When you went to get your water, I just heard all your housemates chatting away as you opened the door.

Ron: That was one of my housemates leaving with his parents.

Ron: They're going for some nice Sunday lunch.

Ron: I've just been for brunch with Sister.

Ron: Of the podcast?

Laura: Yep.

Ron: How's your day going, Laura?

Laura: It's fine.

Laura: I did not go for brunch with anybody.

Ron: Weren't you hanging out with Sister at the podcast yesterday?

Laura: Yep.

Ron: I wasn't invited to that.

Laura: Yes, you were.

Ron: No, I wasn't.

Laura: Yes, I was.

Laura: Yahoo invited you.

Ron: Oh, yeah, you did.

Ron: I didn't go.

Laura: No, I've been to a garden centre.

Ron: You've made this really awkward now.

Laura: Yeah, well, you should have just said I could come to brunch.

Ron: Well, we could go for brunch together.

Laura: Okay.

Laura: When do you want to go?

Laura: Tomorrow?

Laura: Tuesday.

Ron: Maybe.

Ron: Tomorrow?

Laura: Okay.

Laura: Can we do it in Taunton?

Ron: No.

Laura: Why?

Ron: Because I'm not in Taunton.

Laura: Oh, come down to Taunton tonight, then.

Ron: No.

Laura: Why?

Ron: I don't want to.

Laura: You're a horrible boy.

Ron: This is a clunker.

Ron: It's not a good episode either.

Ron: I didn't like this episode very much.

Laura: Why not?

Laura: It was fun waves.

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: Not our best to be.

Laura: Ron, this is a real everything down.

Ron: No, that means that you know when I say it's a good episode, this is the end of a spate of really good episodes.

Laura: No, don't say that, Ron.

Ron: What?

Laura: And this start to it Radio Four and then it got horrible because of you and now you're talking it down.

Laura: The rest of it.

Laura: Four people just turned off the podcast and will never, ever listen again.

Ron: No, listen to the next episode.

Laura: No, listen to this one and have a nice time.

Laura: Hey, wasn't it hard to find a USB stick last week?

Ron: It was.

Laura: I'm sitting at Agony dad's desk and I can see four right now.

Ron: Yeah, to be fair, remembered it before we left.

Ron: We were looking for one for a long time, but we checked the same shop four times.

Ron: I think at a certain degree, that's on us.

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: If Town is going to be made up of 99% WH Smiths, where are we supposed to look?

Laura: Do you know what was hard to buy yesterday a ring binder.

Ron: Oh, yeah.

Ron: Why did you need a ring binder for?

Laura: Nephew of the Podcast had to go to six different shops before we found one.

Laura: Thanks.

Laura: The works.

Laura: If it hadn't been for you, we'd have had to have Amazon it.

Ron: What's Nephew of the Podcast doing with a ring binder?

Laura: Putting homework in it or something.

Laura: I don't know.

Laura: Livid poor.

Laura: I'm going to put the live shop on the patreon this week.

Ron: Oh, that's good.

Ron: I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Laura: No, you won't see it, you'll just hear it.

Laura: I haven't got the video.

Ron: Okay.

Laura: Really tired.

Ron: Yeah, me too.

Laura: Child of the Podcast is ill and so we don't get to sleep at night.

Ron: Well, that seems like a fair trade off.

Laura: Is it?

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: Okay.

Ron: She feels bad, so you have to feel bad already.

Laura: Feel bad?

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: Oh, I'm tired as well.

Laura: Been partying too hard with Sister of the Podcast, have you?

Ron: We don't know.

Ron: We just had a nice brunch.

Ron: Thanks.

Ron: We went to the lounge classy.

Laura: Sounds classy and nice.

Ron: Yeah, but no, just was up late last night and then had to get up this morning for brunch.

Laura: Why don't we talk about the brunch more?

Ron: Laura, you need to stop this.

Laura: You need to invite me to things.

Ron: I do invite you to things.

Laura: You don't.

Ron: That's not I invited you to something and you didn't come.

Laura: I've invited Alien video night.

Laura: Yeah, you knew I wouldn't be able to come to that.

Ron: No, I didn't.

Ron: I've invited you to brunch tomorrow.

Laura: No, I suggested we have brunch tomorrow and you said you don't want to come because it's in Taunton.

Ron: Yeah, you should come to Bristol.

Ron: That's where we do brunch.

Laura: No, it isn't.

Laura: Last time you did brunch with Sister of the Pork, I should just do it in Brighton where I f****** live.

Ron: That's not true.

Ron: We've done it once without you in between that as well.

Laura: Right, possible titles for last week include flat Scottish sausage, rubbing It like a bare back don't Peg Tom Homegrown and Beautiful the Study of Life.

Laura: Giggle, Giggle, giggle.

Laura: A different type of no nonsense share pairs.

Laura: Share a lot.

Laura: Ronnie Kins and dunbins a thick gap for me.

Laura: A Richard Sausage gogabem search for Leans.

Laura: Working well, is it?

Laura: And a type of group of family.

Laura: Enjoy the episode.

Laura: I'm not going to lie to you, Ron.

Laura: I've got back sweat.

Ron: I've got back pain.

Laura: Oh, no.

Laura: Why have you got back pain?

Ron: I think too much time on trains.

Laura: Oh, they are a killer.

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: Where have you been?

Ron: I was in Brighton.

Ron: I think we've already discussed that.

Ron: I've been in Leeds.

Ron: I've been in Manchester.

Laura: I love Manchester.

Ron: I've gotten to see p***.

Ron: All of it, to be honest.

Ron: I had a very boozy August, so I'm trying to have a much less boozy September, and then you only get there in the evening and then there's.

Laura: Not many museums you can see in an evening.

Ron: Yeah, not that many museums.

Ron: And you could go to a park.

Laura: But not a night, Ron.

Laura: You can't just go to a park.

Laura: You're a lonely man.

Ron: I didn't really want to just go sit in a bar and have a Coke on my own.

Ron: And I didn't want to get drinks with work people because that's drinks with work people, isn't it?

Laura: And you look down on people.

Ron: I do.

Ron: I do look down on people.

Ron: I'm better than most people.

Laura: I said that to Tom yesterday.

Laura: Not about you, about myself.

Ron: Ron's better than most people.

Laura: I would never say that you're a dreadful human being.

Laura: I said that about myself and he said no, that I wasn't why would he be married to you if you exactly.

Laura: And also, I am so shut up.

Ron: Tom, I think you have to believe that you're better than most people, don't you?

Ron: That's only saying you're better than half.

Ron: You have to believe you're in the top half.

Laura: Tom said you're supposed to believe that you should strive to be better than people, not that you just innately are.

Ron: Oh, I would be.

Ron: But has he looked outside?

Laura: I think I'm in the top three people.

Ron: People have voted Tories in, like, election after election.

Ron: And I'm supposed to believe that I'm not better than yeah.

Ron: Like, I don't know people.

Laura: Like I'm better than everyone listening to this.

Ron: God, I'm so much better than the listeners.

Laura: That's a nice shirt.

Laura: You've got armour on.

Laura: I like that.

Laura: Thank you.

Ron: I bought it when I was in Brighton, because I just back to Brighton.

Laura: It's great here.

Ron: It was from an MNS.

Ron: I could get it at any city.

Laura: In the yeah, but they probably don't stock it anywhere but here.

Ron: And I went to Brighton and you weren't even there.

Ron: You were in the yep.

Laura: In fact, I did.

Laura: I go to Bristol, I think.

Ron: B****.

Ron: It's always weird when we do these records.

Ron: They're a bit out of the usual fashion.

Laura: What do you mean?

Ron: Because we don't have a quiz to do.

Laura: No.

Laura: Or intros outros.

Ron: Yeah, it's a bit weird.

Laura: You always say that.

Laura: I don't feel it.

Laura: But then I think, I will do anything to not do physics, so I don't really mind that.

Laura: There's a lot of catching up to do.

Ron: But this is physics.

Laura: Yeah, I know.

Laura: That's why I'm just chatting about your shirt.

Ron: Oh, right.

Laura: The world.

Laura: Hey, this will go out, Ron, and the live show will have happened, but we're still two days away from it.

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: Nervously awaiting the delivery of my whiteboard fun.

Ron: I'm really looking forward to it now that I've prepped the content.

Laura: Yeah.

Ron: I still got to do the quiz.

Laura: Okay.

Laura: But apart from that yeah, I'm scared.

Laura: But the thing is, our listeners, even though we're better than them, are really nice people.

Laura: So it's not like anybody's coming that doesn't know kind of what they're getting.

Laura: And anybody that does walk in having just gone, hey, look, what's this?

Laura: I'll give it a go.

Laura: Everyone else will be so raptured that they'll be like, I guess this is what this is.

Laura: And if they don't like it's, their fault, not ours.

Ron: Any luck on getting moved to the smaller room?

Laura: No, mate, no.

Laura: We're in the big room and our dedicated but tiny fan base will fill it with their joy.

Ron: I think we should do a bit where everyone runs around.

Laura: Yeah, let's just every five minutes you change seats.

Ron: Why don't we do a lot of it from in the audience?

Ron: Like it's cats prowl up and down the aisle.

Laura: I think you I was thinking about this this morning.

Laura: I was like, how's Ron going to react to it being a live show?

Laura: I feel like you might be a timid little mouse for 20 minutes and then find your groove.

Ron: Yeah, we'll see.

Ron: I'm going to have a pint beforehand.

Laura: Have seven.

Ron: No, that's too much.

Ron: Maybe two.

Laura: People love drunk.

Laura: Ron.

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: I think there's an alcohol problem in your future if we continue to do this podcast and live show.

Ron: Future?

Laura: You just said you're having a non busy September.

Laura: That sounds like a man that's dealing with it.

Ron: Oh, no, I mean, as binge drinkers go, I have it very much under control.

Laura: Yeah.

Ron: I binge drink at appropriate times and I never get hungover.

Laura: All drinking is binge drinking or it's pointless.

Ron: Because that's the mindset of a binge drinker, is I'm not going to have a drink unless I get really drunk, which is how I feel as well.

Laura: That's nicer than just tea or squash.

Laura: Nobody wants it for one.

Laura: I'm not drinking wine for the taste of one.

Ron: Some people do.

Laura: No, I don't believe that.

Ron: Friend of the podcast, Noah, gave up drinking for a year while he was doing his masters.

Ron: He drank non alcoholic beer for the whole time.

Ron: I think that's f****** madness.

Ron: Beer is gross, but it does get you drunk, so I drink a lot of it.

Laura: Have we got a problem, Ron?

Laura: I just thought everyone felt like that.

Ron: No.

Ron: In 2023, if you talk about things openly and you sort of face your demons like that, you don't have a problem.

Laura: Okay, great.

Ron: It's like you can be a bit like, well, I struggle with that and sometimes I'm an a****** to the people I love, but I've recognised it, so that's fine, don't need to deal with it.

Laura: That is great, then.

Laura: So I just have to tell one joke about it and I've solved it.

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: As long as you're open about it, you don't have to do anything huge.

Laura: Yeah, Ron, I have recognised and acknowledged that physics is a load of rabbit jers and I don't want to touch it with a barge pole.

Laura: End of the lesson.

Ron: But I'm wearing a nice shirt and also wearing sunglasses, which you've not noticed.

Laura: I have noticed it.

Laura: I just didn't know what to say.

Laura: You've got the vibe of a rad cool lumberjack Instagram account.

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: I just thought, why not add a bit of extra pep to the lesson?

Laura: Are sunglasses bringing pep?

Laura: Are they?

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: You should put on sunglasses, too.

Laura: I don't know where my sunglasses are.

Laura: No, they're not on my head.

Laura: They're downstairs.

Laura: I'm not going all the way back downstairs.

Laura: I've got so much sweat from being in the roof.

Ron: Fair enough.

Ron: So, it's physics today, lauren is it good physics?

Laura: Is it maths?

Laura: Physics?

Laura: I can't do any more math, Ron.

Laura: I've already picked up my phone.

Ron: It's not math.

Laura: Okay, what is it?

Ron: It's a whole new section.

Ron: We're moving on.

Laura: Section six 5.9.8, mate.

Laura: Oh, that's much easier than all that garbage I came out with.

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: Sorry.

Ron: 6.6.

Ron: Rather not 6.1.

Ron: We are doing very tall laura, stop looking at your phone.

Ron: We are doing the study of waves.

Laura: Whales.

Ron: Yes, waves.

Laura: Waves.

Laura: Sperm beluga waves.

Laura: Laura grey white orca.

Ron: Why have you gone a so West Country b orcas aren't Wales?

Ron: And C.

Ron: Why are you listing Wales?

Laura: Because she said we're doing the study.

Ron: Of well, I said we're doing whales.

Laura: Whales?

Ron: Doesn't even sound that similar.

Laura: How would you say orca?

Laura: Orca.

Ron: Orca.

Ron: Orca.

Laura: Orca in it.

Laura: What's an orca, then?

Laura: If it's not a whale?

Ron: It's a dolphin.

Laura: F*** off.

Ron: Do you not know why they're called killer whales?

Laura: Because they kill whales.

Ron: Yeah, they're whale killers.

Ron: They're not whales.

Laura: But whales can kill other whales.

Ron: Whales.

Ron: Or cars can kill.

Laura: Me taking the p*** out of my accent.

Laura: We have the same accent.

Ron: No, we don't.

Ron: Yours is much stronger.

Laura: No, it isn't.

Laura: You actually live in the West Country.

Ron: Yeah, but I speak properly.

Laura: Orca.

Laura: A whale called an orca.

Ron: Whales.

Laura: Friends with a dolphin.

Laura: Whales.

Ron: Whales.

Laura: You are weird today.

Ron: Orca.

Ron: No, that's what's weird about what you're saying.

Ron: You're saying orca.

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: You're saying orca.

Laura: Orca.

Laura: I don't even know what you want me to say.

Ron: Yeah, whereas you're saying, like, if you were listening, modes of transport.

Ron: Are you going to take bus or car?

Ron: That's what you're saying?

Ron: Or car.

Laura: Orca OCA.

Laura: Okay.

Laura: I'm not a whale.

Ron: I'm an ocker whale.

Ron: Okay, so then, point number three.

Ron: Why are you listing whales?

Laura: Because you said we're doing the study of whales.

Ron: No, I said we're doing the study of whales.

Laura: Whales.

Laura: I can't wait.

Laura: Ron.

Laura: I'm so excited.

Ron: No, this is physics.

Laura: Waves, like the sea, where whales live.

Laura: Longshore drift.

Laura: Do you know who controls waves?

Laura: The moon.

Ron: No.

Laura: Yes.

Ron: No, the moon controls tides.

Laura: Yeah.

Laura: What makes waves?

Laura: Tides.

Ron: Now?

Ron: I don't know.

Laura: Things go waves.

Laura: Why do we get waves in the sea?

Laura: Is that what we're going to study?

Ron: Those are a type of wave?

Ron: Yes.

Laura: Can we just study those?

Laura: They sound more interesting.

Ron: No, they're part of it.

Laura: What do you mean, they're part of it.

Ron: They are waves.

Laura: Okay, let's study them, then.

Ron: We are.

Ron: We're trying to study f****** waves and you're just going orca you're the one.

Laura: That brought up orcas why do waves happen in the sea?

Ron: There's boats in the wind in that.

Laura: Is it wind?

Ron: Some of it's wind.

Ron: Some of waves are just waves are just energy.

Laura: But take an interest in the lesson.

Laura: You go all like, what are you asking questions for?

Ron: I didn't say that.

Laura: That's pretty much what your body language is saying.

Laura: You can hear him shuffling.

Laura: Listen to him shuffle like a wet little snail.

Ron: You're really getting me on the back foot here.

Ron: And it's hard enough when it's physics.

Laura: I'm asking questions about the subject.

Ron: No, you've just been shouting whales at me for ages.

Laura: I tell you what's happened, Ron, is I've drank a can of Cherry Coke.

Ron: Right.

Ron: So this is a sugar rush that we're this is a sugar wave that we're riding at the moment.

Ron: Is it?

Laura: Yes.

Laura: And I'm about to get very hungry once sugar waves over.

Laura: So pick your battle.

Laura: This me or sad cross me?

Laura: Because you're going to get both.

Laura: Look at all this glue I found in the top of the glueing pot.

Ron: Put it down and away.

Laura: Look at this bit of dried glue.

Ron: Put it down.

Laura: The podcast to say b*******.

Ron: Yes, I know.

Ron: You rang me to show me.

Laura: Oh, yeah.

Laura: You never ring me and yum.

Laura: Rank 100, Ron.

Ron: I know.

Ron: You already told me.

Laura: Why I'm telling you with an audience now.

Laura: I thought the listeners probably interested in how I'm doing.

Laura: Cookt earth.

Laura: Delicious three.

Ron: I don't think any of them know what that is.

Ron: Laura, can you focus?

Laura: Can we get again?

Ron: Yes.

Ron: Can we start the lesson before you get distracted and stop?

Laura: I was asking questions about it and you weren't.

Laura: I said, what makes a wave?

Laura: Then I tried to tell you and.

Ron: Then you went off track again.

Laura: A sine wave.

Laura: Is that a thing?

Ron: That is a thing, Laura.

Ron: Can f****** knuckle down.

Laura: You f****** knucklehead.

Ron: The sunglasses are coming off.

Laura: Why?

Laura: I like, Cool, dude, Ron.

Ron: Yeah, but you'll get cool.

Laura: How much would you pay me to eat this glue?

Ron: F****** h***.

Ron: I had 100 pounds.

Laura: No, I don't want to do it for 100 pounds.

Laura: I paid you some money yesterday.

Ron: You did?

Ron: Thank you.

Laura: Didn't text me to say thank you.

Laura: Thank the listeners.

Laura: It's their money.

Laura: Some of them, anyway.

Laura: Not those freeloading ones.

Ron: No.

Ron: Right, so wave behaviour.

Laura: Laura behaviour.

Laura: Say behaviour on no, please say behaviour at the end, if you said it.

Laura: Behaviour has every wait, no.

Laura: Behaviour would also have every vowel in it.

Laura: Wave behaviour.

Laura: Sounds like a band, doesn't it?

Laura: Back once again with the wave behaviour.

Laura: Ron, we're going to do this live in two days.

Ron: Think I've rubbed chilli in my eye.

Laura: Oh, no.

Laura: You should have left the sunglasses on.

Ron: Waves carry energy from one place to another.

Ron: The other thing about waves, Laura, is that they can also carry information.

Laura: What?

Laura: You really clear your throat like, dad.

Ron: There are different types of wave.

Laura: Hang on a minute.

Laura: More about this wave's carrying energy and information, please.

Laura: Like messages in a bottle.

Ron: How are we communicating right now?

Laura: Oh, sound waves.

Laura: Why is waving called a wave?

Laura: That's not making a wave, is it?

Laura: When you were like wave.

Ron: Isn'T it?

Ron: What's a wave?

Laura: Like that like a whoa, wiggle hand.

Laura: Christ.

Ron: Oh, I need to go wash this out.

Laura: You're back, Ron?

Ron: Yes.

Laura: Don't sound like it's improved the situation.

Ron: No, I think I washed it into the other eye.

Laura: Maybe put some pseudocrem in there.

Ron: No, I'm just going to have my eyes closed for a lot of the lesson.

Laura: Me too.

Ron: Ah, Christ.

Laura: What were you chopping?

Laura: Chilies for lunch.

Laura: What are you having?

Ron: I had a sweet potato with avocado.

Laura: You love sweet potatoes.

Ron: They're fine.

Laura: Sweet potato and avocado, that's two very soft textures with each other, so I wouldn't like that.

Ron: Don't you eat porridge quite a lot?

Laura: Yeah, that's one soft texture.

Ron: What difference does it make of this, too?

Laura: I don't want two things with similar but different soft textures in the same food.

Ron: Why not?

Ron: What about a curry?

Laura: That's not what that's what rice is soft curry.

Laura: Rice is bitty and curry is wet.

Laura: That's different.

Ron: There's different types of wave, Laura.

Laura: I know, but back to this.

Laura: Oh, sound waves.

Laura: I remember.

Laura: Yeah, different types of waves.

Laura: Hang on, let me write that down.

Laura: Feels important.

Laura: Sine waves.

Ron: Sine waves are another type of wave.

Ron: Do you know what type of wave sound waves are and what type of wave electric sine waves are?

Laura: No.

Laura: Have you what is happening, Ron?

Laura: You look like Pudsy Bear.

Ron: Yeah, this is stopping the pain.

Laura: Get some cucumber.

Laura: They do that at spas.

Laura: What does that do?

Ron: I think I'll just get cucumber in my eye.

Laura: Cucumber is like the anti chilli, though, isn't it?

Ron: Let's just crack on.

Laura: I don't think you're going to want to do a second episode after this like we planned.

Ron: Well, hopefully the burning will have gone down by then.

Laura: Yeah, it's making your nose run.

Ron: Yes, I've got quite a lot of chilli in my eye, Laura.

Laura: Did you use soap to wash it out?

Ron: Yes, and then I had soap in my eye and that hurt.

Laura: That's a terrible idea.

Laura: Don't do that.

Ron: Right, okay.

Ron: Laura, laura, shut up for a second.

Ron: That as a soap, laura, shut up.

Ron: Okay, so 6.6.1 .1.

Laura: Hang on, we haven't done anything in the first bit yet.

Ron: That was it.

Ron: We've introduced waves, said, what's the difference.

Laura: Between a sine wave and a sine wave?

Laura: And I said, I don't know and you never told me.

Ron: That's what we're moving on to.

Laura: You can't end a bit on a question.

Ron: Yes, I can.

Ron: Watch me fly.

Ron: 6.6.1 .1, transverse and longitudinal waves.

Ron: What now?

Laura: Nothing.

Ron: What now?

Laura: Nothing.

Ron: Why are you sighing?

Laura: Because I just don't feel like you're actually teaching me anything.

Ron: Well, to be honest, it's because you've derailed every f****** sentence I've tried to get out.

Laura: How have I derailed f****** anything?

Laura: I'm here asking questions and prompting more lesson and you're not doing it.

Ron: Laura yeah, you spent quite a long time listening Wales in the intro.

Laura: That was before we started.

Ron: No, the intro is when we had a nice chat before we started the lesson.

Laura: Yeah, but we haven't done that yet.

Ron: Tried to start the lesson and then you just listed wales for quite a long time.

Ron: Nay.

Ron: 30 seconds ago you were suggesting I mash up some cucumber and rub it in my eye.

Ron: Can you stop playing with the glue, please?

Laura: I'm trying to help with your chilli issue.

Ron: No, you're not.

Laura: I am.

Ron: No, you're not.

Laura: Yes, I am.

Ron: Making a poultice out of cucumber is not going to help.

Laura: That comes up in the sort of audiobooks I listen to a lot.

Laura: Poultice.

Ron: And can you see how I try.

Laura: Women to get can you see for lack of childbearing?

Ron: Can you see how I tried to start the next section by introducing transverse and longitudinal waves?

Ron: And you've complained that I ended the last sentence question and you've complained that I've not taught you anything while I'm trying to teach you things.

Laura: Yeah, because I feel like the last section was just a bit of a crispy puff.

Laura: It just had some it was an intro.

Ron: What more do you want me to say?

Ron: You know what a f****** wave is.

Laura: No, I don't really.

Laura: I know what well, then let me tell you.

Ron: What'S.

Ron: You okay.

Ron: I can open the other eye now.

Laura: You've gone really pink.

Laura: You've got real floppy indie boy hair today.

Laura: It looks good.

Ron: I have floppy indie boy hair every day.

Ron: I'm a floppy indie boy.

Laura: It's got a bit of a wave to it today.

Laura: Have you been using that wave product you've got of the barbers?

Ron: I do a wave, Ron.

Laura: We're doing waves.

Ron: Yes, we are.

Laura: You put the sunglasses back on.

Ron: Yes, because of my pink piggy eyes.

Laura: I've gone small like mine used to be.

Ron: Used to?

Laura: Yeah, they're not small today.

Ron: You've still got piggy eyes.

Laura: No, I haven't.

Laura: They're not small today.

Laura: I've had loads of sleep.

Ron: Right.

Ron: Transverse and longitudinal waves, laura so you mentioned two waves before.

Ron: You mentioned sine waves.

Ron: Why are sine waves called sine waves?

Laura: They tell you things like a sign.

Laura: Yeah, that's not how it's spelt, how's it spelled.

Ron: Did you actually think that's why they were called sine waves?

Laura: It was a guess that I had based on the information that I had.

Ron: No, it's sine as in S-I-N-E as in the trigonomic function.

Laura: Oh, because of do you know triangles, then?

Laura: Triangle shape waves.

Ron: I try triangles.

Laura: That's what all sine and trigonometry is about, isn't it?

Laura: Sine triangles.

Ron: It's about geometry.

Ron: I think it's more about circles than anything.

Ron: Sine waves are an example of transverse waves.

Ron: They are the shape of a sine function, which is a trigonometry thing.

Ron: Sound waves.

Laura: There are so many J.

Laura: K.

Laura: Rowling jokes running around my head because of the transverse.

Laura: You can go to Watford and spend 3 hours tracing around all the props from it.

Laura: But I'm not making them.

Laura: I just want the world wanted to reference them that I'm aware that the joke is hanging there like low hanging fruit and I'm just not going to bother with it.

Ron: Yeah, kind of like making the joke, but without sort of having to.

Laura: I can't let it go unreferenced.

Laura: Like, why is she not joking about that?

Ron: I'm not convinced anyone was thinking, but those that were can now sleep easy.

Laura: I wrote a new joke this morning, Ron.

Ron: Do you want to tell it?

Ron: Knock knock.

Laura: No, it's not a knock knock joke.

Ron: Why did Laura cross the road?

Laura: To get away from the physics lesson.

Ron: Go on then, tell the joke.

Laura: I have a body like an hourglass.

Laura: You glance at it to see the passing of time.

Ron: Yes.

Ron: I follow you on Twitter.

Laura: Yeah, all right.

Laura: F****** it's joyless being with you.

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: Come on then.

Laura: Why is it a sine wave?

Laura: Everybody's on the edge of their f****** seats.

Ron: You've already explained that.

Laura: Why did you?

Laura: Because of geometry.

Laura: You can't just say because of geometry.

Ron: Because it's based the laws of a sine function.

Ron: That's just the shape.

Laura: Sine function.

Ron: It's a thing from trigonometry.

Laura: You can see why this isn't really gulping it down like interesting information.

Ron: Oh, because usually you are just an open door with knowledge flowing into it.

Laura: If you say, Why is it called a sine wave?

Laura: Oh, because it obeys sine laws.

Laura: F****** wow.

Laura: What the h*** is sine?

Ron: It's a function from trigonometry.

Laura: Right.

Laura: What's trigonometry and what function does it have?

Ron: It's a branch of mathematics that's a part of geometry.

Laura: Cool.

Laura: I've written down sine function, trigonometry and I guess that will help me pass the exam somehow.

Ron: Sine waves aren't even in it.

Ron: I didn't bring them up, you did.

Laura: Then just when I bring it up, say they're not part of it.

Laura: Don't worry about that.

Ron: Don't make me write they're a type of wave.

Laura: You brought it up because I'd heard of it.

Laura: I was trying to be smart.

Ron: You're a f****** problem today.

Laura: You are the one rubbing chilli in your bits and not teaching anything.

Ron: I planned a really nice lesson.

Ron: There are going to be two different practical elements that we're not going to get to now.

Laura: Why not?

Ron: Because you're being a f****** problem.

Laura: I'm not being a problem.

Laura: My Christ.

Laura: I have tried my best.

Laura: You ask if I know anything, I bring it up and then I'm a problem for bringing it up.

Ron: You're getting someone got the cherry cokes run out.

Ron: You can't get angry at me for something not being in the syllabus when you brought it up.

Laura: I'm getting angry with you for rabbiting on about it.

Ron: You brought something up.

Ron: Ask what it was.

Ron: I've told you you didn't understand the explanation.

Ron: And now you're cross that you A, don't.

Ron: Still don't understand it.

Ron: Don't know why you're cross about that.

Ron: You're still on square one where you f****** live and B, you're cross that it's not in the syllabus.

Ron: I didn't bring it up.

Laura: What do you want me to learn about then?

Ron: Transverse and longitudinal waves.

Laura: Right, I've written that down.

Laura: Tell me about it.

Ron: Sine waves are transverse waves.

Laura: But you said we weren't doing sine waves.

Ron: They're an example.

Ron: You don't have to specifically learn about sine waves, you f***.

Laura: How can you use something as an example when no one knows what it is?

Ron: Other people know what it is.

Laura: Not people.

Laura: You are CSE because it's not in the syllabus.

Ron: You are almost uniquely blind to things.

Laura: Ron.

Laura: Explain a transverse wave in using words other than it's a sine wave, but that's transverse waves are the dumbins dunce in the shed.

Ron: Transverse waves are your classic squiggly snake waves.

Ron: The ones like this that you were.

Laura: Doing earlier that the average person can understand.

Ron: Don't do a disservice to the average person like that, Laura.

Laura: I chopped up all the glue.

Ron: Oh, goody.

Laura: You said that like a creep.

Laura: Oh, good.

Laura: So a transverse wave is a wiggly wave?

Laura: Yeah, it's a squiggly transverse is that transverse because it's crossing like the line?

Ron: Potentially.

Ron: I don't know why it's called a transverse wave.

Laura: Four questions left unanswered.

Laura: This is why I will never stand on a chair and call you my captain.

Ron: That would be weird if you did that.

Ron: I'd feel uncomfortable.

Laura: I'm going to do that on a live show on Saturday.

Laura: I'm going to get all of the listeners to stand on chairs.

Laura: Captain.

Laura: My captain.

Ron: Wouldn't they be like the foldy chairs?

Laura: I think they're proper good chairs at King's Place.

Ron: Proper good empty chairs.

Laura: Look, Ron, if I've learned one thing from a disappointing 15 year career is that you can't get mad at the people that are there for the people that didn't come.

Laura: So those empty chairs, they're dead to us.

Laura: They mean nothing.

Laura: It's the people that are there.

Laura: They want to be there.

Laura: They've given up their day to be there.

Laura: And we're going to make it the best f****** day of their lives.

Ron: Yeah, down for that.

Ron: During the duration of the show, I think I accidentally catfished a bunch of our listeners into thinking I'd go to the pub with them.

Ron: Yesterday, they wanted to know somewhere to drink in King's Grass.

Ron: I suggested a place.

Ron: I'm not going to be there.

Laura: You can go.

Ron: I won't.

Laura: I find it very difficult to talk to people outside of shows.

Laura: I like performing and then I just feel.

Laura: Like if I talk to people one on one afterwards, I will be not as good as the version of me that was performing.

Laura: So I don't like to do it.

Laura: No, book signing is hard enough, and that is the best way for me to meet people, because there's a beginning and end to the transaction, so I know when to end the conversation.

Ron: Yeah, I think I'm going to try and keep a certain level of mystique yeah.

Ron: Anywho, so that's a transverse wave.

Laura: Another example, should I not wear my T shirt with all of your deepest, darkest secrets on it, then?

Laura: To the live show?

Ron: You don't know any of my deepest, darkest secrets.

Laura: Oh, I was just going to wear my little yellow dragon T shirt.

Ron: I'm very open about the little yellow dragon.

Laura: Good, because one is coming to see the show.

Ron: Little yellow dragon sounds like a euphemism for a horrible addiction I've got.

Laura: And it's not.

Laura: It's just Ron's biggest fear.

Laura: Actually, Ron's biggest fear is dying alone.

Laura: But, hey, let's not bring that up now.

Ron: Can't be scared of the inevitable, mate.

Laura: It's not dying alone you should worry about, it's living alone.

Laura: Am I right?

Ron: Can't be scared of what's happening.

Laura: In my experience, you can.

Laura: Just so that you know.

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: She says in 25 degree weather in September, you can absolutely be afraid of what's genuinely happening.

Ron: Oh, it's quite cool and nice in Bristol at the moment.

Laura: Oh, it's like a sunny August day here.

Ron: We're only two weeks off August.

Laura: Yeah, the August that rained catastrophically.

Laura: Yeah.

Ron: Are you being changed?

Laura: Denier ron no.

Ron: Anyway, can we please do the lesson for a bit?

Laura: Yeah, I've written it down.

Ron: Transverse transverse waves.

Ron: Another example of transverse waves.

Laura: Transverse waves is ripple in water, rhymes with nipple.

Ron: Or.

Ron: I think most waves in water are transverse waves.

Laura: So a ripple is also a transverse wave.

Ron: Yes.

Laura: Okay.

Ron: Now, the other type of wave that you mentioned was longitudinal sound waves, which are an example of a longitudinal wave.

Laura: How are you spelling longitudinal?

Ron: Long as in not short, I as in the letter after.

Laura: Why'd you say longitudinal, then?

Ron: Longitudinal?

Ron: Sorry.

Laura: Okay.

Laura: I just wasn't sure if I was spelling it wrong.

Ron: I-T-U-D-I-N-A-L-I did get it right.

Laura: Move along.

Ron: I was at a wagamamas the other day eating alone.

Laura: I'm sorry?

Ron: I'm alone a lot.

Laura: But not after the live show when you'll be at the pub with all the lab rats.

Ron: I'll be at the pub with my friends.

Laura: You'll be in the car with me heading to Bournemouth, I'm afraid, because we've got to go to a show.

Ron: You are my friends.

Laura: Me, I'm your only friend and sister.

Ron: And gentle boy.

Laura: Yeah, one of the gentle boys.

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: He's excited to see your live show in Bournemouth.

Laura: I'm excited to see him and apologise for calling him a gentle boy all the time on this podcast.

Ron: He doesn't listen.

Laura: Why is he coming to the live show, then?

Ron: Because he's a good friend.

Laura: Oh, that's so nice.

Laura: None of my friends are coming, not even the ones that listen.

Ron: Yeah, bad friends.

Laura: Yeah.

Laura: You've got much better friends than me.

Laura: I'm going to get some gentle boys in my friendship group.

Ron: You should get some gentle boys in.

Laura: Can I tell him that we refer to him as a gentle boy?

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: Do you think?

Laura: Are we pleased?

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: There's lots of pens in my pen pot that aren't my gel pens.

Ron: Wow.

Laura: Look, I've got one here from Dad's business.

Ron: Okay.

Laura: Ron, can you just teach some of this f****** lesson?

Laura: We're going to be here for a thousand years.

Ron: So, longitudinal waves are areas of compression and rarifaction.

Ron: Rare faction.

Ron: I don't know how you say that word.

Ron: Rare faction.

Laura: Like that word in that song up where the air is rarefied.

Ron: Probably.

Laura: What song is that?

Ron: I don't know.

Laura: Air is rarefied.

Laura: Let me just Google that a second.

Ron: Up where the air is clear up in the atmosphere will send it soaring.

Ron: Is that what you're thinking of it's?

Laura: Come fly with me come fly with me let's fly, fly away once I get you up there where the air is rarefied we'll just glide starry eyed that is in the lyrics to Come Fly With Me.

Ron: Wow.

Ron: Sound.

Ron: What?

Laura: It's just good, this podcast, isn't it?

Laura: It's very good.

Laura: And on the 30 September ron, I'm having some birthday drinks and dinner at my house if you want to come.

Ron: I'll be in France, I'm afraid.

Ron: Are you going to be upset about this now?

Laura: No, I just wanted you to know that I invite you to things even though you live far away.

Ron: That's very nice.

Ron: Is this you being salty because I didn't invite you to festivals?

Laura: No, Laura, you don't invite me to anything.

Ron: Laurie, you don't like festivals?

Laura: No.

Ron: Right.

Ron: Do you want to come to a movie night tomorrow?

Laura: Yes, please.

Ron: All right.

Ron: We're watching Alien at Shizzy and Amelia's.

Laura: Okay.

Ron: All right, see you there.

Laura: Great.

Ron: Sound waves are longitudinal waves, areas of compression.

Ron: So when a sound wave is moving through the air, it is compressed air.

Ron: Well, here's the thing that you have to understand about waves, Laura.

Ron: What?

Ron: So, in a sound wave, it's a wave of compression moving away from the sound source.

Laura: Like a caterpillar walking along?

Ron: No, not at all like a caterpillar.

Ron: Much more like the thing I'm talking about.

Laura: I'm picturing a caterpillar.

Laura: You know how they like, press up and then stretch out and then press up and stretch out?

Ron: Yes, but it's not like that.

Laura: That's what I've drawn now.

Ron: Okay.

Ron: Cross that out.

Ron: Draw little X's over his eyes.

Laura: I didn't actually make it into a caterpillar.

Ron: It's a wave of compression moving along.

Laura: You keep saying that.

Laura: I don't know what yes, because you keep interrupting me.

Laura: What do you mean, a wave of compression.

Ron: It's a wave of compression moving away from the source of the sound.

Ron: Not a wave of air.

Ron: The air itself stays still.

Laura: Sometimes in hospital dramas, they say, Get me a cold.

Ron: Compressed you?

Laura: What do you mean?

Laura: Stumped me.

Ron: This has clearly not gone in well.

Laura: I've heard all the words.

Ron: I don't understand what's taxing about that?

Laura: I don't know what to picture.

Ron: Just some squash moving about a wave of compression.

Laura: Yeah.

Ron: So the air here is compressed and then the air here is compressed, and then the air here is compressed and the air here is compressed.

Laura: What's compressing it?

Ron: Energy.

Ron: It's a wave of energy moving outwards.

Laura: Sound energy just squeezing as it goes.

Ron: Yeah.

Laura: How?

Laura: What do you mean, how is it squashing?

Ron: So sound is created by vibrations.

Laura: I'm picking up good vibrations.

Ron: No, you don't get to sing when you're being this dumb ins.

Laura: I'm not being this dumb ins.

Laura: I said I heard all the words and I understood them and now I'm delving further.

Laura: That's not being dumb, Bins.

Ron: I don't think you did understand.

Laura: Did a wave of compression moving along in the air stay still?

Ron: Explain it to me.

Laura: What just did the air stay still, but the energy just compresses the air in a line until it gets to your ears.

Laura: How does it know where your ears are?

Ron: Well, God.

Ron: What do you mean?

Laura: How much air is all the air being compressed and just some of it hits your ears by accident?

Laura: I'm picturing no, that was dumb bins.

Laura: I think so.

Laura: When I talk, is all the air in the room being compressed in a.

Ron: Wave in like a sphere out from okay.

Laura: Yeah.

Laura: Not in a line.

Ron: No, it's not like a laser.

Laura: That was my initial thought, which I said out loud, and I'm sad that.

Ron: I did that's one.

Ron: You should have kept in.

Laura: Yeah, I feel that too.

Ron: COTP will get taken away if that gets out.

Laura: I think it's important for children to strive to be better than their parents, and I'm just setting that bar very low for her.

Ron: If you think that's so important, why have you let her already achieve it?

Ron: What's she going to do now?

Laura: F*** you, Ron.

Laura: She doesn't know what a transverse longitudinal wave is.

Laura: I didn't think you I do ripples.

Ron: So that's true of both waves, right?

Ron: That the medium of the wave is not moving itself.

Ron: So when you have waves in the sea or like a ripple on a pond, the water is not moving, it's energy flowing through it.

Ron: So if you had, like, a little duck on the pond and then a ripple went through it, the duck would move up and down, but stay still in terms of its position on the pond.

Laura: Yeah.

Ron: Okay.

Ron: How long have we been recording?

Laura: 42 minutes.

Ron: F****** L, man.

Ron: We're going to have to leave it there.

Ron: We don't really have time to get into the next bit.

Laura: That's all right.

Laura: I think we've covered a lot.

Laura: We've not well.

Laura: I've had a lovely time and I am hungry.

Ron: I did rub chilli in my eye.

Laura: Yeah, most of it.

Laura: Well, actually, I'll pause the recording while that happens, so that is not deductible time.

Ron: There's nothing there.

Ron: I don't have one in the chamber.

Laura: I thought farts were always a sign that you needed a poo.

Ron: Apparently not.

Ron: It's been ours.

Ron: Ours, ours.

Laura: I'm so sorry.

Laura: Anyway, cut that bit.

Laura: It's quiz time.

Ron: Ross, no, I can really hear your mouth.

Ron: Can you drink some water?

Laura: No, I told you, I don't feel very well.

Laura: I'm not going to drink water.

Laura: Make it worse.

Ron: Tea.

Laura: I just had some tea.

Ron: It's really horrible.

Ron: Hello, Laura.

Laura: Hi, Ron.

Ron: How's it going?

Laura: Well, apparently I sound disgusting and you're farting and it's raining and I'm tired.

Ron: Other than that, you must be able to hear that too, right?

Laura: Hear what?

Laura: Just a mouth moving.

Ron: Laugh.

Laura: Have a slightly biscuity mouth.

Laura: You cannot throw stones in this glass house made of olives.

Ron: No, but it's like it's in HD.

Ron: It's really horrible.

Laura: I don't understand why I've got the pop shield on.

Ron: Gross.

Ron: So we're doing a quiz, Laura.

Ron: We're doing a quiz for physics.

Ron: Do you remember what we were studying?

Laura: Waves.

Laura: Waves.

Laura: Waves, yeah, waves.

Laura: That was easier to remember that time because there is only one episode recorded that hasn't gone out, so I knew.

Ron: Exactly what it was flying by the seat of our pants at the moment.

Laura: Yeah, I don't like it.

Ron: No, but doing a great job.

Laura: Of what?

Ron: The podcast.

Laura: Oh, yeah, mate.

Ron: Okay, should we do a quiz, then?

Laura: I can hear your mouth, too.

Laura: Just so that you know, you don't have, like, a faultless mouth.

Ron: Yeah, but yours is like ticking and squelching.

Ron: Okay, Laura, what are the two different types of wave?

Laura: Sine wave.

Laura: Yes.

Ron: Oh, yeah, you're right.

Laura: No, hang on.

Laura: Transverse.

Ron: Have you got your notebook?

Laura: It's in my laptop case to my right.

Ron: Yep.

Laura: Transverse.

Ron: One of them ding dingo.

Laura: And.

Ron: MMM.

Laura: The other word is on the edge of my brain.

Laura: It begins with an S or an M, I think.

Laura: Is that correct?

Laura: No, I know, it'll be written down in my notepad.

Laura: Transverse or would suggest that the other thing does not transcend the verse.

Laura: It would suggest that the other type of wave, like, was flatter longitudinal.

Laura: That's what it was.

Laura: I've just remembered, I can see you looking so sneaky.

Laura: You were what I was transverse and longitudinal is my final answer on yep.

Ron: One and a half marks.

Laura: No, I got that right.

Ron: Half marks for book answers from now on.

Ron: Laura, could you please describe a transverse.

Laura: Wave wiggly like a flagellated skipping rope.

Laura: You said it before.

Laura: You said it before crossing the line.

Ron: No, it was the first thing you said.

Laura: Sine wave.

Ron: Yes, it's sinoidal.

Laura: Sinoidal.

Laura: Sinoidal.

Ron: Yeah, this is the difference between don't just say things and have a guess.

Ron: Because you said sine wave with no real concept of what that meant.

Laura: Yeah, it's just a word I remembered.

Ron: Yeah, that's don't just say things.

Ron: You're still allowed.

Ron: Since we did this, you've done a normal amount.

Laura: No, I've done loads.

Laura: I've done more than you.

Ron: Look at this.

Laura: Right, hang on, I see a gym out of the window.

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: Wait, hang on.

Laura: Oh, God.

Laura: What's happening?

Laura: Yeah, that's your gym.

Laura: No, that's some graffiti in your neighbor's garden.

Laura: I can see that wire.

Ron: Yeah, that flies across my house every time the wind blows.

Ron: And it's quite threatening.

Laura: Yeah, there shouldn't just be loose wires coming off roofs, I don't think.

Ron: Yes, there are.

Laura: Get that scene too, mate.

Ron: Yeah, I'm waiting for them to fix the leaks and then I'll get them to fix the loose wires.

Laura: Fair.

Ron: Laura, could you please describe a longitudinal wave Rippley?

Laura: It's where it's a wave of compression moving, not an object moving.

Laura: It an object being a molecule or atom or gas or water.

Ron: Try again.

Laura: Like a duck sits on it and stays still.

Ron: Try again.

Ron: Don't say compression.

Ron: Try to think what that might be instead.

Ron: Compression is wrong.

Ron: Swap it out.

Laura: No, it isn't.

Ron: Oh, you're right.

Laura: No, because you said a sound wave was compression moving.

Ron: What's compressing it?

Laura: Energy.

Ron: Yeah, so.

Laura: Energy moving through a wave, like a ripple out, but the water stays still, but the energy moves through the water, causing it to wave.

Ron: The ripple thing is not correct.

Laura: It's literally what you told me.

Ron: No, ripples are transverse waves, aren't they?

Ron: Because they're isn't.

Laura: That what we're talking about.

Ron: No, we're talking about longitudinal waves.

Laura: I thought we're talking about transverse waves.

Ron: No, we did that and then I said, can you please describe a longitudinal wave?

Laura: Did you?

Laura: Yeah.

Ron: It'S like you're gaslighting yourself.

Laura: What's happening?

Laura: Wait, is a ripple a transverse wave as well?

Ron: Yes.

Laura: That's where I've gone wrong here.

Ron: Yeah.

Ron: What do you want to know about longitudinal waves?

Laura: That is like Chinese whispers with the energy going down.

Ron: No, you were really close before.

Ron: Remember when I said just swap out.

Laura: The word compression energy moving along, then yeah, wave.

Laura: I've said that.

Ron: Yeah, but then you went on full memento mode and forgot where you were and what we were doing.

Ron: Please don't get cross with me because you have a loose grasp of reality.

Laura: God, when I've said enough words to make the correct sentence, stop me.

Laura: Interrupt and stop me before I say a bit that's wrong.

Ron: What type of wave is light?

Laura: Transverse.

Ron: What type of wave is sound longitudinal?

Ron: Okay, correct.

Ron: Yes.

Ron: We're done with the quiz.

Laura: Thank God.

Laura: I did really well there.

Laura: No thanks to you.

Laura: Well, I hope you enjoyed that steaming heap of s*** that was barely edited and there's no notes about it.

Laura: Sorry that all the good episodes are over now and we're down to the absolute crap ones, but Ron's just too busy brunching and partying to really put any effort in anymore.

Laura: So hope you enjoyed it.

Laura: Become a patron and maybe it will improve Patreon.com forward slash education.

Laura: Our s***** under attended live show will be going up on it very soon.

Laura: Not to watch, so just to listen to because we don't do videos.

Laura: Because why would we?

Laura: What's the point?

Laura: Thanks, Levi Tubman, for being a patron.

Laura: You've just got the coolest name.

Laura: Winner of the Coolest Listener Award.

Laura: Levi Tubman.

Laura: Dirty Blue.

Laura: Singer or hotshot lawyer?

Laura: Don't know.

Laura: Don't know.

Laura: Levi Tubman can do whatever the f*** they want.

Laura: Thanks, Lisa.

Laura: Lisa is the mastermind and coordinator of the Orcars.

Laura: Attacking rich people yachts.

Laura: It's not a political thing, they just do it for the thrill.

Laura: Thanks, Lisa.

Laura: And thank you, Catherine Jarrosh.

Laura: Catherine is in charge of finding the three more patrons.

Laura: We need to start doubling the content on there.

Laura: Put your finger out, Catherine.

Laura: We all want more content.

Laura: Frankly, you're slacking.

Laura: Thanks for listening.

Laura: We'll be back next week on Monday.

Laura: Enjoy your week.

Laura: Bye.

Ron: Class dismissed.

Laura: You're actually not going to bring any pep.

Ron: You're right.

Ron: I'm sucking the fun out of this on listening back to that one, Laura, I don't think you were actually saying orca.

Ron: That weirdly.

Ron: When I was editing, I was like, what am I talking about?

Ron: It's fairly normal.

Laura: I think you should listen back to every single episode from number one and realise that you've been unnecessarily hard on me.

Ron: No, that's certainly not the case.

Ron: You're an obtuse problem.

Laura: Yeah, well, this obtuse problem.

Laura: We'll see you next week, where hopefully we'll both be in better moods and the podcast won't be steaming garbage on top of a dead person that's been eaten by rats.

Ron: Love you guys.

Laura: Just.
