Laura Lexx: Comedy science podcast, where comedian Laura Lex tries to learn some science from her normal brother.
Ron: That's me.
Laura Lexx: Ron.
Laura Lexx: Hi, Ron.
Ron: What the f*** was that, man?
Ron: Why can't I finish my nice musical?
Laura Lexx: Didn't were you singing?
Ron: Yes.
Laura Lexx: Oh, I couldn't hear.
Ron: Hello, I'm Ron.
Laura Lexx: Sorry, Ron, I've had a lot of tiffin.
Laura Lexx: I'm in more of a talking than a listening mood.
Ron: Well, thank goodness we're not doing a full episode, then.
Laura Lexx: I went to another Christmas fair today.
Ron: Yeah, that's three in two weeks for you.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: Boy, I am getting festive like you wouldn't believe.
Laura Lexx: Next week, man.
Laura Lexx: December.
Laura Lexx: Let's go.
Laura Lexx: Piao.
Laura Lexx: Piao.
Ron: You're more excited about the Advent calendar than anything else, though.
Laura Lexx: Very excited about the Advent calendar, I'm not going to lie.
Laura Lexx: But also just everybody's nicer in December and everything's nice, and we've got family stuff to chat about because there's fun things coming up.
Laura Lexx: It's not like March where you're just like, what are we going to do this year?
Laura Lexx: Like, when can we see each other?
Laura Lexx: Everybody's busy.
Laura Lexx: It's like, no, we know we've got four full days.
Laura Lexx: We're going to fill them with fun.
Ron: Still looking forward to more family time, then, is it?
Ron: Even after the two weeks you've had?
Laura Lexx: I love sibling time.
Laura Lexx: Got nephew time.
Laura Lexx: Nephew of the podcast.
Laura Lexx: Young middle nephew of the podcast came around today and child of the podcast just grabbed him and hugged him and started giggling and it was so wholesome.
Ron: That is wholesome stuff.
Ron: They are cuties together.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: I found a hulk Christmas tree decoration today, Ron.
Ron: Oh, husband of the podcast.
Ron: Going to love that.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, I bought you a Christmas present today, Ron.
Ron: OOH, yeah.
Ron: What is it?
Laura Lexx: I'm not telling you, Ron.
Laura Lexx: It's a surprise for oh, I've just remembered, I asked for shout outs on Twitter and I've forgotten to look at them.
Laura Lexx: Oh, yeah, we'll do those in a minute.
Laura Lexx: Anyway.
Laura Lexx: How are you, Ron?
Ron: We'll do those at the end, b******.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, you have to stay tuned.
Laura Lexx: Pew, pew, pew.
Laura Lexx: First up, big mention to do for the patreon.
Laura Lexx: Now, you're not surprised we have a patron.
Laura Lexx: We mention it every week.
Laura Lexx: But listen, Christmas is coming up.
Laura Lexx: I've got spending habits to keep up with.
Laura Lexx: And if you want to support the podcast, there's never been a better time.
Laura Lexx: We put Rusty Sugar up ten days ago.
Laura Lexx: We put the live show up three days ago, and then at the end of this week, on Friday, we're putting up Ron's birthday special.
Laura Lexx: So that's three specials in three weeks.
Laura Lexx: That's excellent.
Ron: We have quite serious chat in my birthday special as well.
Laura Lexx: It's a really lovely episode, Ron, because.
Ron: Rusty Sugar arguing it was sickening nonsense.
Laura Lexx: Yep.
Ron: The one in our my birthday one.
Ron: Just lovely intellectual chat.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, I think I'm really happy with what's coming out on the patreon.
Laura Lexx: It's a sort of real mixed bag of stuff and it's all yeah, it's lovely.
Laura Lexx: It's lovely.
Laura Lexx: It's different every week.
Laura Lexx: So, yeah, there's three new episodes up in three weeks, so there's never been a better time.
Laura Lexx: And if you join up annually, I think some are, like, 34 pounds to join up for the whole year.
Laura Lexx: That's all right in it.
Laura Lexx: We physically can't make it any cheaper on Patreon without basically losing money.
Laura Lexx: So hey, join up.
Ron: Also, steps have been made towards the DND that we've been talking about.
Laura Lexx: Yes.
Laura Lexx: And the tea towel, the class tea towel.
Laura Lexx: Did I tell you, Ron?
Laura Lexx: I ordered a pack.
Laura Lexx: So they're sending me the thing that we then send out to anybody that wants to be included on the class tile.
Laura Lexx: Oh, yeah.
Laura Lexx: Pretty intense.
Laura Lexx: So that'll be happening.
Laura Lexx: Happy birthday to friend of the podcast, Will Duggan.
Laura Lexx: He has just turned 21.
Laura Lexx: We're very proud of him.
Ron: Double Doug's.
Laura Lexx: Double Doug's birthday, in fact, today as.
Ron: We'Re recording Ron, he's just turned 21.
Ron: Wow.
Ron: He looks like s***.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, well, parenting is hard.
Laura Lexx: Also, if you want signed books or stickers in time for Christmas presents for people, or you want to suggest to your loved ones that they get you them and support independent artists for Christmas, best to do that in the next two weeks to make sure they arrive in the post.
Laura Lexx: Small dog of the podcast is really trying to get into this room.
Ron: I bought child of the podcast's Christmas Present today.
Laura Lexx: Did you?
Ron: Yeah, it was the one that I showed you.
Ron: I found one.
Laura Lexx: What did you find?
Ron: If you've forgotten, then all the better.
Laura Lexx: Did you show me?
Laura Lexx: Did you show me in real life or on the internet?
Ron: Real life, I think.
Laura Lexx: What do you mean, you found one?
Laura Lexx: Don't worry about oh, okay.
Laura Lexx: I've already forgotten.
Laura Lexx: I'm so excited.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: I've had so much tiffan, Ron.
Laura Lexx: I haven't had lunch.
Laura Lexx: I've just had tiffin.
Ron: Wish I had tiffin.
Laura Lexx: For you to come to the Christmas fair that you were invited.
Ron: I just didn't want to.
Laura Lexx: I know you didn't, but you did want tiffin, so you kind of did want to.
Ron: I could just go buy a bar of chocolate.
Ron: Really?
Laura Lexx: Wouldn't be as good as my tiffin.
Laura Lexx: It was massive.
Ron: If I put a biscuit on top.
Laura Lexx: Of it, it would be no, not as big as this, Devin.
Laura Lexx: Anyway, have fun in the episode, everybody.
Laura Lexx: It's pretty argumentative today.
Laura Lexx: Physics.
Laura Lexx: It's physics.
Laura Lexx: Of course it's physics.
Laura Lexx: We're still doing f****** waves.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, it's got a bit of everything, this one.
Ron: Enjoy.
Laura Lexx: Hi, Ron.
Ron: Hello.
Laura Lexx: How's it going, Ron?
Laura Lexx: It's good.
Laura Lexx: I'm in Scotland, Ron.
Ron: Well done.
Laura Lexx: Thank you.
Ron: I'm in MMM.
Laura Lexx: Bristol, eh?
Laura Lexx: What takes you to Bristol?
Ron: Live there, mate.
Laura Lexx: Oh, big time.
Ron: Big time.
Laura Lexx: Do you want to know a secret?
Ron: What?
Laura Lexx: I actually knew that what I did was I acted.
Ron: Very nice.
Laura Lexx: You got busy day, lots planned.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: What are you doing tonight?
Ron: D and d whoa.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: Dumplings and doodles.
Ron: Dumplings and doodles.
Ron: Absolutely.
Ron: It's my pictionarian dim sum night that I do every week.
Ron: Thanks for remembering.
Laura Lexx: You're big into picks?
Ron: No, it's steady.
Ron: And I think I've talked about this on the podcast before, but my group do not really play D D in the way a lot of people do.
Ron: They're not super into it for the big epic adventure aspect and they're not just in it for the combat, which I feel like quite a lot of parties are as well.
Laura Lexx: Oh, yeah, the combat is the best bit.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: No, what they like to do is kind of like they're all in on the role play.
Ron: So we're doing a campaign at the moment where there's been a couple of brawls but not traditional combat.
Ron: And they're really excited for this inquiry that's coming up into an event that happened recently.
Laura Lexx: Like there's nerds and then there's nerds within the DND community.
Ron: There's one of them that works at a guild in game and they f****** go off for when he has a one to one with his manager.
Ron: It's that kind of level.
Ron: So last episode I spent doing a series of job interviews with them where they all applied to be laborers in the town.
Laura Lexx: Meanwhile, someone somewhere is getting really shattered upon because a bunch of heroes are supposed to be saving the day.
Ron: Well, one of their friends has been kidnapped and they're trying to track that down.
Ron: And there is an inn at this building yard where they've applied to be laborers.
Ron: But I thought they'd just go there and ask questions.
Ron: But no, they have applied for jobs.
Ron: Four out of six of them have gotten those jobs.
Laura Lexx: Oh, wow.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: They must have been very short stuffed before this happened.
Ron: Well, they're just starting a new project which is linked to what's going on in.
Laura Lexx: Right.
Laura Lexx: Okay.
Ron: Pigs in and Shizzard the wizard did not get in.
Laura Lexx: The gentle boy didn't get a job?
Ron: No, he was weird about it.
Ron: And so was Pigs In, the small pig fellow that hangs out with friend of the podcast, Noah's.
Ron: Character surname blankets.
Laura Lexx: Nice.
Laura Lexx: That is beautiful work.
Ron: Thank you.
Laura Lexx: I can't believe they wouldn't employ the gentle boy.
Ron: He was really weird about it.
Laura Lexx: Did he get his knob out in the interview?
Ron: No, knob out, but yeah, it just didn't go well.
Ron: I can't really remember what happened because I had to improvise all those job interviews because, as I say, I was not expecting them.
Laura Lexx: No.
Laura Lexx: Who comes to D D expecting that?
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Kicker got in.
Laura Lexx: Madame Kicker?
Ron: Yeah, and all the others.
Laura Lexx: This blanket I'm wearing has got arm holes.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Is it like a scarf or does it flow?
Laura Lexx: No, look, it goes down the back like a cape.
Ron: Oh.
Laura Lexx: Kind of got a hood and mittens.
Ron: Interesting.
Ron: Shall we do some?
Laura Lexx: I think not.
Laura Lexx: Is it still waves?
Ron: It is, but kind of waves with more wait, but it's waves with more sort of practicality to them.
Laura Lexx: That's good, because I haven't got my notebook and I've only just realized I haven't got any writing paper.
Laura Lexx: So it's a no notes.
Ron: Fun, fun, fun.
Ron: So we're going to be talking it's a no prep for me episode as well, Laura, so it's going to go all around.
Laura Lexx: Why haven't you done any prep, Laura?
Ron: I'll tell you why I've done no prep, because I did bloody eight years of prep, including three years of a bachelor's degree.
Laura Lexx: Look, Ron, I don't need to know your sexual lifestyle to know your education, okay?
Ron: Me being a bachelor.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Ron: Tutu demerit.
Ron: So we're doing electromagnetic wind.
Laura Lexx: There's only three episodes left before the Christmas episodes begin and we need to.
Ron: Work out what those are going to be.
Laura Lexx: I thought we already had I don't.
Ron: Know, I have not elf Anatomy and.
Laura Lexx: The Twelve Days of Christmas.
Ron: Oh, yeah, I love that.
Ron: I don't know what we're doing for this live show on Sunday, though, and that's causing me to blank everything out.
Laura Lexx: You were going to talk to friend of the podcast, Noah.
Ron: Yeah, my hands are it was months.
Laura Lexx: Ago when the people are listening to this, it's already happened.
Laura Lexx: Don't worry about it.
Laura Lexx: We did fine.
Ron: Stress persists.
Laura Lexx: But I told you what to do, Ron.
Laura Lexx: Fireworks.
Ron: No, but we decided not to do that because explosions aren't great right now.
Laura Lexx: Oh, yeah.
Laura Lexx: Oh, neither was torture either, was it?
Ron: Torture's never great and I don't want to do that, silly.
Laura Lexx: Okay, what about there's a chance that.
Ron: We'Ve gone with my idea of just carrying on from where we left off in the other live show.
Laura Lexx: I don't want to do that because I can't remember what happened in the live show and you'll get crossed.
Ron: Yeah, but that's kind of the show in it.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: Look, Ron, that doesn't matter because wherever people are listening to this, it happened.
Laura Lexx: It was a clamoring success.
Laura Lexx: Everybody left pregnant and delighted and we've had a great time.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: So today, 6.6.2 electromagnetic waves.
Ron: 6.6.2 .1 types of electromagnetic waves.
Laura Lexx: It doesn't sound juicy, it sounds dry.
Ron: Do you know what an electromagnetic wave is, Laura?
Laura Lexx: A wave that is powered by magnets that are funded by electricity.
Ron: No, electromagnetic waves are a type of radiation that includes lots that you've heard of.
Laura Lexx: One that you radiation, didn't we?
Ron: We did some types of radiation and one of those types of radiation was gamma rays, which are a form of electromagnetic waves.
Laura Lexx: Gamma ray has it a guess, Laura.
Ron: At any other electromagnetic waves that you've heard of?
Laura Lexx: It's gamma ray.
Laura Lexx: That's when all the little tiny rays it's gamma ray.
Laura Lexx: Oh, come over here and have a word as original.
Ron: Oh, come on.
Ron: Roasted sugar.
Ron: Gamma ray's gonna make you a good jumbala.
Laura Lexx: Do you get manta rays in the bayou?
Laura Lexx: We should do an episode on bayou's.
Laura Lexx: I'm going to put that as a detentron.
Ron: Yeah, you do detentrons.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, but you're the one that didn't know what a bayou you don't know.
Ron: What a bayou is either.
Laura Lexx: I didn't put a bayou in my rusty sugar family.
Ron: You put nothing in you.
Laura Lexx: That's not true.
Laura Lexx: I put a lot of puns in.
Ron: When are we getting to puns?
Ron: In the class clown series.
Laura Lexx: Oh yeah, it took couple years.
Laura Lexx: Couple of years, buddy.
Laura Lexx: Couple of years.
Laura Lexx: Couple of years.
Laura Lexx: Couple of years.
Laura Lexx: Gamma radiation.
Laura Lexx: What did you say?
Laura Lexx: I was thinking about manta rays.
Ron: So gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic wave.
Ron: Can you think of any others that you like?
Ron: Any other waves that you've heard of?
Laura Lexx: Microwave.
Ron: Yes, they're electromagnetic waves.
Ron: Any others?
Laura Lexx: More sound waves?
Ron: No.
Laura Lexx: Waves.
Laura Lexx: Tidal waves.
Ron: Do you think that gamma rays, things that shoot out of nucleuses of atoms, could possibly be the same thing as a tidal wave?
Ron: Or do you think that was quite.
Laura Lexx: Dense if you could be, couldn't it?
Laura Lexx: Never know with science.
Laura Lexx: Alpha rays.
Ron: What's an alpha ray?
Laura Lexx: I don't know, I was trying to apply some logic that if there's a.
Ron: Gamma ray, an alpha, there's an alpha particle, isn't there?
Laura Lexx: Is there?
Ron: Yes.
Ron: We're going to stop playing this game because you're making me cross with your thickness.
Laura Lexx: I said microwaves.
Laura Lexx: I think when you say something like that, you should have to tell me how many there are that I can get there's.
Laura Lexx: One, two, three.
Laura Lexx: Still cross with me.
Ron: Four, five, six of them.
Ron: There's five others that you've heard of that you haven't.
Laura Lexx: All in the kitchen.
Ron: One.
Ron: At least two others are in the kitchen.
Laura Lexx: Microwave is in the kitchen.
Ron: When you're cooking your beige dinner, Laura air fryer.
Ron: What might you be listening to?
Laura Lexx: Podcast.
Ron: No, but play along.
Ron: What else?
Laura Lexx: Sound waves.
Ron: Yes, I know, and I said no to that.
Ron: That's not what I'm hinting at.
Ron: What do people often listen to in the kitchen?
Laura Lexx: The internet.
Ron: No.
Ron: Try again.
Ron: Or in the car.
Laura Lexx: Music.
Ron: At 10:00 on a weekday?
Ron: Not anymore, because he's quit.
Laura Lexx: Shipping forecast?
Ron: No.
Ron: Well, yes.
Ron: How do you people get the shipping forecast to you?
Laura Lexx: Well oh, radio.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Radio waves.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: Nobody listens to the radio anymore, Ron.
Laura Lexx: They do it.
Ron: You could have picked up on hints from context of what I was.
Laura Lexx: I did, I got there.
Ron: Why are the shipping forecast weird?
Laura Lexx: I never know how specific you want me to be.
Laura Lexx: And my brain works differently to yours, Ron.
Ron: Yes, it does.
Laura Lexx: Okay, so radio waves, microwaves crime waves.
Ron: When you're doing it.
Laura Lexx: Just snapped.
Ron: Anything in the f***?
Laura Lexx: Punched a pint of water.
Ron: Did that spill?
Laura Lexx: No, it's okay, I didn't punch it too hard.
Laura Lexx: Um ultrasounds?
Ron: No.
Laura Lexx: That's MRI scan.
Ron: That's sound, isn't it?
Ron: I don't know what waves are.
Ron: I think all right, MRI scans.
Ron: Pull that thread.
Ron: How else can you view inside a person.
Laura Lexx: Scalpels?
Laura Lexx: I'm a Cat scan.
Laura Lexx: Be.
Ron: Yes, Cat scans.
Ron: You use a type of wave that you'd also have heard of.
Ron: Like if you've broken a bone.
Laura Lexx: Femur.
Ron: Oh, an X ray.
Ron: F***.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: That's got the word ray in it.
Laura Lexx: That makes sense.
Laura Lexx: Ron I can't believe it was an MRI and Cat scan before X ray.
Ron: You're such a weird kind of thick.
Ron: Hang on, I need to take off my sweatshirt.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, he's sweating now.
Laura Lexx: OOH.
Laura Lexx: The beige jumper is coming up to reveal a black T shirt underneath.
Laura Lexx: And I didn't mention this at the top of the podcast, but our little baby Ron has had a haircut.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: I don't love it.
Laura Lexx: Oh, I do.
Laura Lexx: I think you look fresh and cool.
Ron: Well, I like having it quite short, but then they always do that thing where, you know, when they do those scissors that just kind of thin the herd, they always take loads of it out of the fringe and it's like, don't do that, please.
Ron: But I don't say that.
Laura Lexx: Well, you need to say that then, Ron.
Ron: No, that's not how haircuts you need.
Laura Lexx: To say, my hair is naturally thinning.
Laura Lexx: The herd at the front.
Laura Lexx: Leave it be.
Ron: That's not how haircuts work.
Laura Lexx: Laura it is for girls.
Ron: No, it's not for guys.
Ron: You sit down and then you do not comment until they ask.
Laura Lexx: Well, that's why you don't like your hair, then.
Ron: But that's how it's done.
Laura Lexx: Change it.
Laura Lexx: Be the change you want to see in the world, ron no.
Laura Lexx: All right, then.
Laura Lexx: So, Laura, have everybody always looking at you thinking, I can see too much of his forehead through that.
Ron: So electromagnetic, curly electromagnetic waves, right in the middle of them, you have visible I've drawn them.
Laura Lexx: You are saying?
Laura Lexx: R-I-G-H-T.
Laura Lexx: Okay, take that one back.
Laura Lexx: Ron.
Laura Lexx: Take that one back.
Laura Lexx: I misheard.
Laura Lexx: Well, I didn't miss here.
Laura Lexx: I heard a different spelling of the word.
Ron: Of the word, right.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: I thought you were saying right in the middle of them and I haven't.
Ron: Got my no, no, I wasn't saying that.
Ron: Okay, so basically what I'm getting at is that gamma rays, X rays, radio waves, microwaves, and then the one that you didn't get, visible light are all the same type of thing.
Laura Lexx: Interesting.
Ron: They're all electromagnetic waves.
Laura Lexx: Feels like one I should definitely be making notes for.
Ron: It doesn't really make a difference with you.
Ron: What do you think, based off what we talked about last time, could be the difference, say, between a gamma ray and a radio wave.
Laura Lexx: I think the what was the up one called?
Laura Lexx: Amplitude.
Ron: Why do you think that?
Laura Lexx: Because maybe the thinner or fatter the amplitude, the more things they do and don't squeeze in between when let's say.
Ron: You'Ve got some visible light.
Laura Lexx: Yes.
Ron: Is it always the same sort of intensity or is it sometimes darker than it is other times?
Laura Lexx: What, the same bit of light or different lights?
Ron: Just visible light in general.
Laura Lexx: Oh, yeah.
Laura Lexx: Different layers.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: So do you think that the amplitude, like, increasing the amplitude is going to change that into a different type of thing.
Laura Lexx: I don't know what the amplitude does, mate.
Laura Lexx: Is that the brightness of the light?
Ron: Do you know what the word amplitude means?
Ron: Volume, basically, yeah.
Laura Lexx: So that's like the brightness of the light, basically.
Ron: It's the amount of energy.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Ron: No, that's not true.
Ron: Yeah, okay, try again.
Laura Lexx: Wavelength, then.
Laura Lexx: That's the other one.
Ron: Yeah, that is the other one.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: They have different wavelengths, so there is a scale of them knowing what you know about gamma rays or what you should know, which end of the spectrum do you think gamma rays would be on?
Ron: Short wavelength or long wavelength?
Laura Lexx: A gamma wave.
Ron: Don't try and do it based off etymology because you don't know enough to do that.
Laura Lexx: Okay.
Laura Lexx: Gamma waves are gamma rays.
Laura Lexx: Gamma rays.
Laura Lexx: Those ones where they're spitting out that yes.
Laura Lexx: So a short wave.
Ron: Why?
Laura Lexx: Because, like, go, it's like thuddy.
Laura Lexx: It's little, like it's not like think it's, like, forceful and sudden.
Ron: But it's a ray, so it's kind of long.
Ron: I think it's long, continuous thing.
Ron: Why would it be long?
Laura Lexx: I don't know.
Laura Lexx: Because that was the other option and you questioned when I said short.
Ron: Yeah, but now I'm questioning when you're saying long.
Laura Lexx: Okay, well, because I don't think I'm right with short.
Laura Lexx: So long.
Laura Lexx: There you go.
Ron: A gamma ray is good for you.
Laura Lexx: No.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: This isn't comic books.
Ron: They're bad for you.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Ron: So do you think they've got a lot of energy in a gamma ray or not very much.
Laura Lexx: Loads.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So they're going to be short wavelength, high frequency, lots of energy.
Ron: Right.
Laura Lexx: So I was right.
Ron: Don't give yourself credit for that.
Laura Lexx: P*** you.
Laura Lexx: I was right.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, but stop and applaud.
Laura Lexx: No, not by accident.
Laura Lexx: Right in my gut.
Ron: No, you took a 50 50 thing.
Ron: I didn't anthropomorphize the atom, spitting it out.
Ron: Which has f*** all to do with what the actual answer is.
Laura Lexx: Why are you never pleased for me?
Ron: Because you've never earned it.
Laura Lexx: I just did.
Ron: No, you didn't.
Ron: No, you didn't.
Ron: And this is the problem with you gen z TikTok adult b*** munchies, is.
Laura Lexx: That you think just getting there I'm a millennial.
Ron: Yeah, but like, brain wise, you think just getting there is like cause for praise.
Ron: No, you need to earn it and you need to earn it.
Laura Lexx: Well, I did.
Laura Lexx: I logged it.
Ron: No.
Ron: Yes, but you did.
Ron: False logic.
Ron: That means nothing.
Ron: Atoms don't spit.
Ron: It's not a pip pip pip.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, but they do.
Laura Lexx: They force it out, don't they?
Laura Lexx: It fires it out.
Laura Lexx: Foo foo.
Ron: All light moves at the same speed.
Ron: We've all heard the phrase speed of light.
Ron: It's not foo foo fooing.
Ron: It's just got a short wavelength.
Ron: It's high energy.
Ron: You're scummed the ed, mate.
Laura Lexx: No, I was right.
Laura Lexx: Use my gut brain.
Ron: Right.
Ron: Down at the other end of the spectrum, we have radio waves.
Ron: They're very, very long in wavelength, sometimes meters.
Laura Lexx: I don't know what's up with me, but I can't hear anything spelled properly.
Laura Lexx: When you said, like, sometimes meters, I started thinking about, like, a gross goblin that just eats meat.
Laura Lexx: Don't go over that hill.
Laura Lexx: That's where the meters gather.
Ron: What do you mean?
Ron: Sometimes when you hear something spelled properly.
Laura Lexx: Like, I didn't hear it spelled M-E-T-R-E-S-I heard it spelled meaters.
Laura Lexx: It sometimes rain are meters long.
Laura Lexx: Sometimes they're a bit smaller.
Laura Lexx: Centimeters long.
Laura Lexx: Centimeters are meter goblins that only eat the tummies.
Laura Lexx: Is your camera frozen or are you just giving up?
Ron: Just in shock.
Laura Lexx: You sometimes hear the wrong word.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: You don't often have to make up a little story about goblins to make sense of what you heard.
Ron: No two parts of this have made any sense.
Ron: When you've heard something spelt incorrectly, meters to mean something that eats meat, and then to imagine just a group of goblins sat on a hill.
Laura Lexx: But that all happened in a millisecond.
Ron: Ron yeah.
Ron: Like I said, you're sick in the head anywho.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So then we got radio waves right down that end of the spectrum.
Ron: Okay.
Laura Lexx: Long.
Laura Lexx: So gamma short.
Laura Lexx: Radio long.
Ron: So x rays are X rays.
Ron: Good for you?
Ron: Is it good to get a lot of X rays?
Laura Lexx: No, the dentist goes and stands outside.
Ron: Exactly.
Ron: So which end of the spectrum do you think X rays are at?
Laura Lexx: Near gamma short.
Ron: Exactly right.
Ron: What about ultraviolet?
Ron: Is it good to be an ultraviolet light?
Laura Lexx: You can't really avoid it because it just comes with the sun.
Laura Lexx: But the sun cream does block it, and so does some sunglasses.
Laura Lexx: So maybe medium risk.
Ron: But why would you block it?
Laura Lexx: Because it hurts you.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: So which end of the spectrum do you think it's on?
Laura Lexx: Bad end.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: So at the top end, we've got gamma rays, and then we've got X rays, and then we've got ultraviolet.
Ron: Do you want to hazard a guess as to what's next?
Ron: That's okay.
Ron: Visible light, because we can almost see ultraviolet light, can't we?
Ron: And some animals can.
Ron: You knew this.
Ron: Did you not know that?
Ron: That some animals can see ultraviolet light?
Ron: Did you know that?
Ron: Are you just saying, give me an example of an animal that can see ultraviolet light.
Ron: Cats don't think that's true.
Laura Lexx: I think that's true.
Ron: Birds of prey can see ultraviolet light because mouse p*** is ultraviolet.
Ron: So they can see that lots of insects can see ultraviolet light.
Ron: And often, if you look at flowers.
Laura Lexx: I don't really think insects are animals.
Ron: Yes, but you're as we've covered sick in the head.
Ron: Yeah, lots of insects can see an ultraviolet light.
Ron: And often flowers have different patterns on them that you can only see an ultraviolet with, like, arrows pointing down into the flower.
Ron: So the bug knows where to go.
Laura Lexx: And I'm not tricking don't know about arrows.
Ron: I'm literally not tricking you.
Laura Lexx: This has got tricko written all over.
Laura Lexx: It just a little sign saying, oh, dinner this way.
Ron: No, that's honestly true.
Ron: Hang on, I'll send you a picture.
Laura Lexx: What the you just hastily drawn?
Ron: Yes, because I'm good.
Ron: Ultraviolet, flower, arrows.
Laura Lexx: Flowers.
Laura Lexx: It's taking you a while to find it, Ron.
Laura Lexx: It doesn't sound very true.
Ron: Yeah, I'm not finding the pictures that I was expecting to find.
Laura Lexx: Lies.
Ron: AHA.
Ron: I found one hoopa I see that's got, like, points going down into the middle of it.
Ron: Often here's, one side by side.
Laura Lexx: Hardly.
Ron: Yeah, hardly.
Ron: It's not that close, this one.
Ron: You see how it's just got a much bigger kind of landing pad for them?
Ron: I think they're drawn to that bit, but you can see that they see it differently.
Ron: So then you've got visible light.
Ron: So you got ultraviolet at one end of visible light.
Ron: So what light of the spectrum do you think is the most high energy out of what we can see?
Laura Lexx: Infrared.
Ron: You think it goes from ultraviolet to infrared in the visible light spectrum?
Ron: It goes to infrared.
Ron: A light we can't see that's different to violet.
Ron: Do you think that?
Ron: Do you think that still?
Laura Lexx: No.
Ron: So what do you think is closest to ultraviolet?
Laura Lexx: Purple.
Ron: Blue.
Laura Lexx: Blue.
Laura Lexx: Why not purple?
Ron: Because it's just blue next.
Ron: That's just the world.
Laura Lexx: Couldn't see how I could have known that, really?
Laura Lexx: No, because purple makes more sense next to ultraviolet.
Ron: And then we get all the way down to the bottom end of the spectrum and red.
Ron: Yeah, but you can't see infrared, so it's not visible light.
Ron: We get down to red.
Ron: Red is the lowest energy light that.
Laura Lexx: We can see, which is mad because it's such a vibrant color.
Laura Lexx: It should be the other way around.
Laura Lexx: Blue should be lower energy than red, don't you think?
Ron: No.
Ron: Yeah, like a sultry red room.
Ron: That's quite calming.
Laura Lexx: Fizzing blue is calming.
Laura Lexx: You're mad if you think otherwise.
Ron: What about electric blue?
Laura Lexx: Electric blue?
Ron: That's the color of my room.
Ron: That's high energy.
Laura Lexx: I used to have a car called David because it was electric blue.
Ron: David, that's nice.
Ron: I went to see the David Bowie musical and the sound and vision bit was the only good bit.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: When did you go and see that?
Ron: 2014.
Laura Lexx: You didn't say.
Laura Lexx: 24 years ago.
Ron: Four years.
Laura Lexx: That's like nine years ago, Ron.
Ron: Long time.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: First year of uni.
Laura Lexx: Whoa.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Friend of the podcast, Noah, went with me.
Ron: I can't remember if I got it for him for his birthday or he got it for me for my birthday, but it was somebody's birthday.
Laura Lexx: Somebody's poison the water hole.
Ron: I think he got it for me for my birthday.
Laura Lexx: Well, he does hate David Bowie, so you wouldn't have got it for him.
Ron: He loves David.
Ron: Well, he likes David Bowie.
Ron: He doesn't really like music.
Ron: He's kind of like you.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, music's boring.
Ron: The ed.
Laura Lexx: Me and Noah on a very similar intellectual wavelength.
Ron: In some ways in the sense that he studies orangutans and you're quite close to them anywho.
Ron: Then we move on to infrared.
Ron: Do you know what infrared does, Laura?
Ron: What?
Laura Lexx: It's about gets in between the molecules.
Ron: What do you mean by that?
Ron: What are you trying to add?
Laura Lexx: You ask a question, I have no time to think or you go, come on, pep it, do it, do it.
Laura Lexx: So I just have to say something I don't know.
Laura Lexx: No, but then you say try.
Ron: Yeah, but if you say I don't know, then I can try and at least lead you down the path.
Ron: But gets in between the molecules means nothing, adds nothing and isn't funny.
Laura Lexx: Okay, I don't know.
Ron: Ron, have you ever heard of an infrared camera?
Ron: Yes, now that I've connected those dots.
Ron: Does that awaken anything in you when it comes to what infrared light is?
Laura Lexx: Some body.
Laura Lexx: What did you just do?
Ron: Somebody wants.
Laura Lexx: A Fred Flintstone impression going like Marty.
Laura Lexx: Well, Mar.
Ron: No.
Laura Lexx: Infrared is like bounces off fur.
Laura Lexx: Really?
Laura Lexx: Well it is.
Laura Lexx: It's because it's it's in the night, isn't it?
Laura Lexx: An infrared camera.
Laura Lexx: Ron, come back.
Laura Lexx: Ron, is night vision camera heat.
Laura Lexx: Heat.
Ron: Infrared is heat radiation.
Ron: Yeah, hot things give off more infrared.
Ron: What.
Laura Lexx: What'S a night vision camera then?
Ron: Sometimes they use infrared because things can still be hot in the night.
Laura Lexx: I think that was a tricko.
Ron: Why?
Laura Lexx: Because we were talking about light and now we're talking about heat because it's.
Ron: Infrared, which is heat radiation.
Ron: Do you see?
Ron: I've linked those because they're the same.
Laura Lexx: Well, I didn't know they were the same.
Ron: That's what I'm telling you now.
Laura Lexx: But some night vision cameras aren't heat.
Ron: No, not all night vision cameras are infrared.
Ron: I didn't say night vision, I said infrared.
Laura Lexx: I pictured a snow leopard on a camera trap.
Laura Lexx: Steve Batchel taking it down to look at what they'd captured.
Ron: Well, don't think about that.
Ron: Think about those ones where your face will be all orange and white because it's really hot.
Ron: And then your clothes will be blue because they're colder because your heat energy is not getting out so much.
Laura Lexx: That's an important and your armpits and groin are on fire, burning up.
Laura Lexx: Boom.
Laura Lexx: White hot peen.
Ron: Just going to skate straight past that.
Laura Lexx: So the next thing in real life you'd stop and go.
Ron: Next up in the thing.
Ron: I can't think of a way to logic you to.
Ron: This is microwaves.
Ron: They're slightly longer than infrared.
Laura Lexx: Well, then they're named stupidly.
Ron: And then after that we have radio waves.
Laura Lexx: Slightly longer.
Laura Lexx: I thought we were going down the thing to short length.
Ron: No, we started it short.
Laura Lexx: Oh yeah, I remember now.
Laura Lexx: So microwaves are long?
Laura Lexx: Yeah, they need to be called macrowaves.
Ron: Then you can call it your macrowave if you want.
Laura Lexx: I will.
Ron: And then you got radio waves.
Laura Lexx: I'm sharing my bedroom with Charlote's, a podcast at the moment.
Laura Lexx: And the second night we were here.
Laura Lexx: She clocked that we were sharing a bedroom and woke up for an hour and a half to chat to me between two and 03:30 a.m.
Laura Lexx: That's cute.
Laura Lexx: In a banging mood, but just did not want to go to sleep.
Laura Lexx: And then every time I stopped talking back, she would just shout until I had to talk back.
Laura Lexx: And then last night, I heard her wake up and just whisper, mama, mama.
Laura Lexx: And I was like, I'm ignoring this.
Laura Lexx: And then luckily, she fell asleep.
Laura Lexx: But then I was awake and alert, just like, oh, God, can't do this every night.
Laura Lexx: I'm just going to have to sleep in the hall.
Ron: Do you not just introduce her to Tim and Tom?
Laura Lexx: Yeah, I should have done get her.
Ron: On that bandwagon early.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: Tired.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Ron: And then you've got radio waves.
Ron: They're the longest.
Ron: They're the lowest energy because they got the longest wavelength, which is because radio is basically dead shooting through you all the time and they're not messing you up.
Laura Lexx: That we know of.
Ron: I think we know because we understand electromagnetic waves.
Ron: Florida, out of the two types of waves that we know of, do you know which?
Ron: Can you guess which type they are?
Laura Lexx: What?
Ron: Out of the two different types of wave that we know of, what types.
Laura Lexx: Of wave do we know of?
Laura Lexx: Ron, just recap that.
Laura Lexx: No.
Ron: Yeah, you've had a your relished in your failure.
Ron: Well, we know that gamma rays are different to radio waves in terms of their length, don't we?
Ron: So probably not that.
Laura Lexx: I'm a bit lost about what's happening.
Ron: There are two different types of waves.
Laura Lexx: Sine waves.
Ron: Sound waves are one of them.
Ron: They're a type of wave.
Ron: What type of wave?
Ron: Are sound waves?
Laura Lexx: Sine waves?
Ron: No, they're not.
Ron: Sine waves, also known as transverse waves, are a different type of wave.
Ron: What type of wave are sound waves?
Ron: Longitudinal.
Ron: That's right.
Ron: Does it feel like you've heard that before, or is that just a complete fresh bag of business?
Laura Lexx: That's a fresh bag of business.
Laura Lexx: Oh, wow, burning on my porch.
Ron: So do you think electromagnetic waves are transverse waves, or do you think they're longitude?
Ron: Now, if you don't know, just say you don't know.
Ron: If you do know, I'm going to expect an explanation.
Laura Lexx: I think they are transverse.
Ron: Why?
Ron: Because need little beans for the chowder here?
Laura Lexx: Because how'd you say because.
Ron: Ick being iron Billina.
Laura Lexx: Because I don't know how to say it now.
Ron: Because.
Laura Lexx: I don't know how to say that word.
Laura Lexx: It's lustful meaning.
Ron: Can you say this sentence?
Ron: Because it was familiar?
Laura Lexx: Because it was familiar.
Ron: You said because.
Ron: Then normally because it was.
Laura Lexx: What's the question?
Ron: Why do you think electromagnetic waves are transverse waves?
Laura Lexx: Oh, because electromagnetic waves are including sound waves.
Laura Lexx: So they're transverse.
Laura Lexx: No, wait, there weren't any sound waves, were there?
Ron: No.
Laura Lexx: Okay.
Laura Lexx: I think they're longitudinal.
Laura Lexx: I think they're longitudinal, Ron.
Ron: Why?
Laura Lexx: Because there's no sound waves.
Ron: You mean sound waves, the things that I just told you were longitudinal.
Laura Lexx: I think they're transverse.
Laura Lexx: I think they're transverse because there's no sound.
Ron: Tell you how thick I think you.
Laura Lexx: Are, because I think, you know, I think they're transverse.
Ron: They are transverse.
Laura Lexx: Yes.
Laura Lexx: I was right barely.
Ron: I've been right twice in your life.
Laura Lexx: Is it raining where you are?
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: And the scary wire is blowing all across.
Ron: No, the microclimates failed.
Ron: It's gone very gray and all rainy snowing here.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Did you hear that?
Ron: Yeah, that's the wire.
Ron: It's lashing the house.
Ron: Hang on.
Laura Lexx: Goodness me.
Laura Lexx: This is some violent rain.
Ron: Look at the wire.
Ron: Can you see?
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: This is the biggest weather episode we've had in a while.
Laura Lexx: Look at the wire.
Laura Lexx: It's going crazy, Jim and me.
Laura Lexx: You're never going to sleep if that wire gets up at nighttime.
Ron: I can sleep.
Ron: I put headphones in.
Laura Lexx: Well, Ron, what type of wave is a RainWave?
Ron: What's a rain waving?
Laura Lexx: I don't know.
Laura Lexx: Do you want to hear my favorite of nephew of the podcast trick or treat jokes last night?
Ron: Yes.
Laura Lexx: Why was the pumpkin smiling?
Ron: Wait.
Ron: Oh, nephew of the podcast.
Ron: Sorry, hang on.
Ron: Child of the podcast can't talk.
Ron: Why was the pumpkin smiling?
Ron: Because he or she or they were I don't know.
Laura Lexx: Because he was happy.
Laura Lexx: He was dead.
Laura Lexx: Halloween.
Ron: Halloween?
Ron: But that was months ago now for listeners.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: All right, ron, I don't stand a chance for this quiz.
Ron: No, I think we could do the quiz right now.
Laura Lexx: And I think you'd fail.
Laura Lexx: I agree.
Laura Lexx: We won't know.
Ron: No, we shan't.
Ron: Well, I'll see you on Sunday, Laura.
Laura Lexx: See you on Sunday, bud.
Ron: Oh, Laura, do we need to prep for that other podcast that we're on?
Laura Lexx: Yeah, I think we do.
Ron: Are you leading that you happy with?
Ron: Right.
Laura Lexx: Okay, bye bye.
Laura Lexx: It's the never ending waves, Ron.
Laura Lexx: The waves that just come and come and come and lap against the Lex education shores, even though they're rubbish and boring and s*****.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, I might have a desk tidy during this quiz.
Laura Lexx: That's how little I care.
Ron: Wow.
Ron: And you were slagging me off on stage on Sunday for being bad at podcasting.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, was.
Laura Lexx: Man, I really let you have it.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Nothing that you haven't already said to me before.
Laura Lexx: No, that's true.
Laura Lexx: Are there any insults left to do to each other that we haven't already done?
Ron: Oh, we keep finding new ones.
Laura Lexx: That's true.
Ron: The episode that I'm editing at the moment, we've started calling each other a monglong.
Ron: Which monglong?
Ron: Monglong prod hype and monglong might be.
Ron: What that episode's called?
Ron: We'll see.
Ron: It's going to be quite a quick quiz, I think, because we covered just startingly little content.
Ron: Did we in the last episode?
Ron: In this episode, rather, yeah.
Laura Lexx: Okay.
Ron: So, Laura, what are all of the electromagnetic waves that we talked about in order from longest to shortest wavelength?
Laura Lexx: Oh, f*** off.
Laura Lexx: I can't answer that.
Laura Lexx: Why not because that's low.
Ron: Thanks for listening to the quiz, everybody.
Ron: Zero Marks for Laura.
Ron: We'll see you next week, which would be biology.
Ron: We're about to record that episode now.
Ron: It's going to be on hormonal conditions in humans, so get ready for that.
Ron: That's going to be ow.
Laura Lexx: Sorry about that.
Ron: That's going to be a fun episode.
Ron: Mark zero on the sheet.
Laura Lexx: Carol ultraviolet.
Ron: You think that's the longest wavelength?
Laura Lexx: That's the shortest.
Ron: That's the shortest possible wavelength.
Ron: Why are you telling me that when I ask for them from longest to shortest?
Laura Lexx: I'm just saying the ones I can remember.
Ron: Why don't you have any notes?
Laura Lexx: Oh, because you normally tell me off for looking at the notebook.
Ron: Do I?
Laura Lexx: I also don't have any notes.
Laura Lexx: No, I was in Scotland, Ron, I didn't have my notebook.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, gamma radiation, that's another one.
Laura Lexx: Is that the longest?
Laura Lexx: What do you think that's microwaves.
Laura Lexx: Do you think that microwaves are the longest?
Laura Lexx: Can you help me?
Ron: No, I'm testing you, aren't I?
Laura Lexx: Listen, we've done the test, we've stuck our elbow in the bathwater and it's a little too warm.
Laura Lexx: We don't then schooled the baby.
Laura Lexx: We add a little cold water.
Laura Lexx: We make it tepid, don't we?
Ron: So I'll give you this hint.
Laura Lexx: Is your bed green or gray?
Ron: It's green, but it's got gray stripes in it.
Laura Lexx: Okay.
Laura Lexx: What hint, Ron?
Ron: See?
Laura Lexx: Oh yeah.
Ron: So gamma radiation said that one is damaging to you.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Ron: Because it has a lot of energy in it, doesn't it?
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Ron: Do things with long or short wavelengths have a lot of energy?
Laura Lexx: Long.
Laura Lexx: Short.
Ron: What hints can I give you that aren't just telling you the answers, man.
Laura Lexx: Short.
Ron: It is short.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, short.
Ron: So not those ones, because those are obviously and UV, that gives you cancer as well.
Ron: That's quite damaging.
Ron: So that's also got quite a short wavelength.
Ron: What waves are flying around everywhere all the time?
Laura Lexx: Radio waves.
Laura Lexx: Radio waves?
Ron: Radio waves are the longest, yes.
Laura Lexx: Then what was after radio waves are the longest?
Laura Lexx: Light waves.
Laura Lexx: Sound waves.
Ron: Sound waves.
Ron: Electromagnetic waves?
Ron: No.
Laura Lexx: So why did you say that x rays.
Ron: X rays are also quite damaging though, aren't they?
Ron: Can't get too many of them.
Laura Lexx: Why don't you give me all the waves and I'll put them in order?
Ron: Because that would rather than listening to you think that would be listening to you picking random orders of things.
Laura Lexx: No, I could think it through by damaging, but then that is a compromise, because had I had my notebook, I would have them all written down.
Ron: Why do I owe you a compromise?
Laura Lexx: Because I did not have my notebook in the lesson due to a travel issue.
Ron: But why is that my fault?
Laura Lexx: It's not your fault, Ron, but you're not being blamed.
Laura Lexx: You're just as a teacher, meeting me in the middle, you're adapting the lesson to suit my extra needs, reasonable adjustments.
Ron: I don't think there are adaptions in the world for your extra needs.
Laura Lexx: But let's try such a good term.
Ron: For what you are.
Ron: You're not special needs, you're extra needs.
Ron: You just need more time.
Ron: Fine.
Laura Lexx: Okay.
Laura Lexx: You tell me all the waves and I will write them down very carefully.
Ron: Ultraviolet, infrared hang on, hang on.
Ron: Visible light.
Laura Lexx: Hang on, hang on.
Ron: Gamma rays.
Ron: Planck, radio waves.
Ron: Hang on.
Laura Lexx: Ultraviolet.
Laura Lexx: That's so scrambled then.
Laura Lexx: I haven't even got a gel pen in my hand.
Laura Lexx: It's just a stupid z grip smooth.
Ron: Gamma rays.
Laura Lexx: Okay.
Ron: Microwaves, infrared, X rays.
Laura Lexx: Slow it down.
Ron: Radio waves, visible light.
Laura Lexx: Infrared.
Ron: I can't even remember which ones I said after that.
Laura Lexx: Well, then you need to slow down.
Ron: What have you got so far?
Laura Lexx: Ultraviolet, gamma, microwave, infrared, X rays, radio waves, visible light.
Ron: Right, it's three things.
Laura Lexx: I said.
Laura Lexx: Light.
Ron: Bo.
Laura Lexx: Okay, so let's do some working out.
Laura Lexx: Hit the thinking music.
Laura Lexx: Radio waves we know least harmful.
Laura Lexx: Then it'll be visible light, because most visible light is not that harmful.
Laura Lexx: Now then, I reckon next up is ultraviolet, because you can have a little bit of that.
Laura Lexx: And then X rays, because you can have those, but the doctors stay out the room.
Laura Lexx: Then microwave, then infrared, then gamma rays.
Laura Lexx: Okay, Ron, I submit to you it goes longest to shortest.
Laura Lexx: Radio waves, visible light, ultraviolet light, X rays, microwave, infrared, gamma rays.
Ron: No goes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, then UV, x rays, gamma hang.
Laura Lexx: On, hang on, hang on.
Ron: Oh, my God.
Laura Lexx: Radio waves, microwaves, X rays, visible light.
Ron: Ultraviolet, X rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet.
Laura Lexx: X rays.
Laura Lexx: Oh, no.
Laura Lexx: Gamma rays, infrared.
Laura Lexx: Must have been that one.
Laura Lexx: Okay, I got one right.
Ron: Yeah, one out of no, you got two right.
Ron: You put gamma rays in the right place as well.
Laura Lexx: Oh, yeah.
Ron: Two out of seven for this quiz.
Laura Lexx: I knew both ends.
Ron: I did kind of tell you those.
Laura Lexx: Did you?
Ron: Yeah, didn't I?
Laura Lexx: Okay, then.
Laura Lexx: Well hmm.
Ron: Do you feel like you've learned anything?
Laura Lexx: No.
Ron: I feel like that as well.
Laura Lexx: I've had a nice time, though.
Ron: I've had a time.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: And now we get to do biology.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: Turn a fresh cage.
Laura Lexx: See you next week.
Laura Lexx: F******, that was a cracker there, Ron.
Laura Lexx: You can't get mad at that episode.
Ron: Classic EP.
Ron: We're in a really long spate of good EPS at the moment.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, it's been like a year and a quarter.
Laura Lexx: We literally talk well, in this episode about the live show, and you're all worried about it.
Laura Lexx: You're all there going like, oh, I don't know what we're going to do.
Laura Lexx: And now looking back, mate, went perfectly, didn't it?
Ron: Yeah, I really pulled it out the bag.
Laura Lexx: We absolutely destroyed that live show.
Laura Lexx: It's dead now.
Laura Lexx: I think we're going to go back onto the next one again next year.
Laura Lexx: If you want to come to a live show.
Laura Lexx: Tickets to the Leicester Festival are online now.
Laura Lexx: It's a weekend in February, something near Valentine.
Ron: It's like the 18th.
Laura Lexx: I think it might be the 18th.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: So you can see my new live show and our live show in the same day.
Laura Lexx: And if you want to hear the live show that we discussed in this episode, go to our patreon and sign up.
Laura Lexx: I need to go and shut my dog up.
Laura Lexx: She's going to wake my child up.
Laura Lexx: Bear with me.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: If you can't be on the patreon for reasons, that's fine.
Ron: But what you could do is you could leave us a review.
Ron: We're almost at 100 reviews, star ratings on Spotify.
Ron: If we could get to 100, that would be lovely for us.
Ron: Or we haven't had one through on itunes in some time.
Ron: The itunes ones, you get to do a bit of text.
Laura Lexx: We love the text.
Ron: You can say some nice stuff to us.
Laura Lexx: We love it.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: We send them to each other whenever we get new ones.
Laura Lexx: We screenshot them and send them to.
Ron: Each other and go, oh, yeah, we do.
Ron: And quite often we do that on Twitter as well, to show other people that it's good because getting new listeners is hard.
Laura Lexx: It really is.
Laura Lexx: Also, if you know what a bayou is, please email Lexeducation@gmail.com.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Bring receipts.
Ron: I don't want your opinion on what a bayou is, because I've got opinions on what a bayou's are.
Laura Lexx: I want opinions as well as facts.
Ron: Okay.
Laura Lexx: And I thought.
Ron: In the subject heading of the email, please put in whether it's an opinion or a fact.
Laura Lexx: Yeah.
Laura Lexx: Some social media fun I thought we could have this week, though.
Laura Lexx: What's the worst haircut you've ever had to say you liked?
Ron: I like that.
Ron: Again, bring receipts.
Laura Lexx: I don't want you to the episode did you, Ron?
Laura Lexx: So you don't know what that's related to?
Ron: It is I had a haircut I wasn't particularly happy with, and we talk about how you have one shot to describe the haircut you like and then you just have to live with it.
Laura Lexx: And they thin out the front of yours.
Laura Lexx: Sorry, I've put more tiffan in my mouth.
Laura Lexx: I shouldn't have.
Laura Lexx: I shouldn't have.
Ron: That's actually one of the bits of the episode I did listen to.
Laura Lexx: Look at my sticky, sticky fingers.
Ron: Yes.
Ron: You're a grub.
Ron: You're a worm.
Laura Lexx: Just a worm.
Laura Lexx: Should we do the register?
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: Rum.
Ron: Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum.
Ron: Register first up.
Laura Lexx: Thank you, Lady Power.
Laura Lexx: Lady Power is the chief meter, the leader of the meter horde.
Laura Lexx: When they go roving across hill and dale looking for more meat to consume, it's.
Laura Lexx: Lady Power, who leads the charge of the meters, gobbling up meat, while her trusty trundle wheel gobbles up actual meters.
Ron: M-E-T-R-E-S great stuff.
Ron: Lady Power.
Ron: Great name as well.
Ron: And I won't read it out, but great email.
Ron: Great email address.
Ron: Next up, thanks to Tara Robinson, who is in charge of squirting Ron with a small dibbler of water whenever he starts talking about Bob Dylan too much.
Ron: She's paid time and a half when Ron strunk because of the increased frequency.
Laura Lexx: Thank you, Tara.
Laura Lexx: We all appreciate the sacrifice you're making.
Ron: Needed service.
Laura Lexx: And finally, this week, thank you to Theresa McDonald, self made millionaire from selling the red yarn that listeners can use to try and work out the timeline of when things happened and when they were recorded.
Laura Lexx: Do you know, the register is so popular on I actually had an email this week to ask when somebody's thank you would be read out, because they've been a patron for a while and we haven't got around to thanking them yet.
Laura Lexx: And I had to simply say, we just have so many patrons, mate.
Laura Lexx: We are.
Laura Lexx: Who was it?
Laura Lexx: It was Philippa.
Ron: Philippa.
Ron: Yours will be out in two weeks time.
Laura Lexx: Woo.
Laura Lexx: Woo.
Laura Lexx: Oh, God.
Laura Lexx: Dogs.
Laura Lexx: You're not having my tiffin.
Laura Lexx: Both dogs are looking at me.
Laura Lexx: So hopefully right now, just try and eat a tiny bit of tiffan.
Ron: Toto.
Laura Lexx: Toto.
Laura Lexx: He is a handsome boy.
Laura Lexx: He's so handsome.
Laura Lexx: All right, Ron.
Laura Lexx: Well, you can go now.
Ron: Lovely.
Ron: What are you doing the rest of the day?
Laura Lexx: I've got to walk these two dogs and then I've got to go to a gig, look after my child, play with her a bit.
Ron: Nice.
Laura Lexx: Finish this g****** tiffin.
Laura Lexx: Make a snood for Middle, nephew of the podcast.
Ron: Fun.
Laura Lexx: Yeah, I'm busy, man.
Ron: Nice.
Laura Lexx: I finished my baby cardigan today.
Laura Lexx: Right.
Ron: I saw.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: I should stop following.
Laura Lexx: You.
Ron: Should stop following?
Ron: You on Twitter.
Ron: Really?
Laura Lexx: Well, you didn't text me and say well done for it?
Ron: No.
Laura Lexx: All right, then.
