Chemistry Foundation Results: Daddy Boys Legs
Welcome to the very first Ron's house of Lex Education
Laura: Maki, come here. Hello, and welcome to the very first Ron's house.
Ron: Ron's house. Um, episode same.
Laura: Ron's house of Lex Education. What's that coming over the hill? Is it a romster? Uh, did you just hear that crazy demon noise?
Ron: There's so many noises happening.
Laura: Did you pour the water on the tea?
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Okay. Let's not forget that after this intro, we'll make the tea.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Least professional beginning ever since we became professional podcasters.
Ron: Since we became professional podcasters.
Laura: Yes. Yes. Hello, everyone. Welcome to Chemistry results day. We're on. We're in your new house.
Ron: We're in my new house. Recording podcast. Professional podcast.
Laura: You've got flowers.
Ron: Yeah. In a watering can.
Laura: Yeah. Cute. Very Bristol.
Ron: Very Bristol.
We went to a mad thing today. I wouldn't tell people not to go
Laura: We went to a mad thing today.
Ron: Yeah. That was fucking mental.
Laura: We went to a thing called waking the tiger today.
Ron: Wake the tiger.
Laura: Wake the tiger. This is not an ad for it.
Ron: Certainly not.
Laura: Well, I wouldn't. I wouldn't tell people. I like where you've put that plant out, Shane. I think that looks good there. I, um, wouldn't tell people not to go.
Ron: No. But I wouldn't tell everyone to go, no.
Laura: So it's like an immersive, uh, art installation, sort of walkthrough, sort of like an escape room you're not trying to escape from.
Ron: We're professional.
Laura: So we're in Ron's kitchen, and we have the choice of either having the dog scratching at the door to come in, or the dog ratting about on the lino trying to get to her gums.
Ron: Her horrible little cramped claws sound, um, awful on this floor.
Laura: So I'm trying to keep her on a bag for life, but her put.
Ron: Her in the bag like a Paris Hilton dog.
Laura: She'll get really cross and sad if I put her in the bag. See you.
Ron: Stop noncing yourself.
Laura: Come and sit back on my lap. Come on.
Ron: You want to be on my lap?
Laura: No. She's looking at you. They're like, oh, she's retching, Ron.
Ron: Yeah, but that's par for the course.
Maggie: It all felt very GCSE. I don't think it felt degree level
Laura: Anyway, so we went to that today. I really liked it, especially all the fungus rooms.
Ron: It was so vibes based. It was really. I was trying to explain it to girlfriend of the podcast, Judith, and she was like, what do you do? You interact with it. I was like, some of it, other bits, you just exist in the space.
Laura: Yeah. And then there was like, a slide, and some of it was like, we're mad professors. And some of it was like, we're in underground tunnels.
Ron: What I found really odd about it is that you didn't want to just bruise through. You feel like you weren't making the most. But if you did look too closely at anything, it was dog shit.
Laura: Mackie, stay still. Maki, come here. Right, sit down, please. Sit.
Ron: Yeah. If you look too closely at anything, it was a bit rubbish. So you also couldn't spend ages taking everything in.
Laura: Like that bit where there were just loads of half rocking horses stuck to the wall.
Ron: Yeah, that was weird. There was one bit. There was loads of, like, washing machine doors. And then if you looked in them, there'd be just like, some googly eyes and some silky fabric.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: And from a distance, as a Maggie, from a distance, it really did kind of work. When you got up close and you were just looking at the googly eyes behind the washing machine door, it did not work.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: There was so much lore that they never really explained.
Laura: I kind of. I don't know. Even if they had explained it, I don't know if I'd have read it. It was sort of like, you know, when you had to do, like, devised drama pieces at school, it all felt very GCSE. You knew all of the backstory for what you presented with some flailing about. It felt like this had a lot of that.
Ron: I feel like it needed some failing actors strolling around.
Laura: Oh.
Ron: Kind of bringing the world to life.
Laura: I don't think it felt GCSE. I think it felt degree level. Like there was a whole train you could walk through a vending machine.
Ron: Yeah, that's true.
Laura: There was, like, 3d printed eggs that you could go in.
Ron: Yeah. Oh, my God.
Laura: This token is absolutely going. Maggie, you have to stop it.
Ron: Hang on. Take a picture. Professional podcast.
Laura: I just don't think any other, uh, cardinal just have to suspend a dog in their lap to achieve optimal recording.
Ron: She looks proper pathetic.
Laura: Oh, we both do.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron and Laura discuss chemistry results on today's Talk Talk podcast
Laura: Um, so, Ron, um, chemistry results today.
Ron: Well, let's not talk too much. I think let's talk about that afterwards.
Laura: Stop.
00:05:00
Ron: Be professional. Well, to be fair, we said we'd be professional for a level, so we're ramping up to prevention.
Laura: That's true. And Mackie is the one that needs to do most of the work.
Ron: Yeah, she's.
Laura: You've got a long way to go, little dog. A long way to go. Um, okay, so should we just let them listen to chemistry results?
Ron: Yeah. Then we can talk about it.
Laura: We'll chat afterwards. Okay. Yeah. Cool. Oh, my God. She's lying down.
Ron: Welcome, Laura.
Laura: Hello, Ron.
Ron: Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Laura: It's our first not same room episode in a while.
Ron: Yeah. We're not bezy buds in the same room anymore.
Laura: No. Uh, you've had a little hair shave, haven't you?
Ron: No. No, not since I saw you days ago.
Laura: Oh. It looks like you've had a little haircut on the sides over the weekend.
Ron: But no, over the weekend before.
Laura: Oh, yes. Wow.
Ron: Yep. Um, and since I've last seen you, hadn't had a, had a drive with your husband.
Laura: Yeah. How was that?
Ron: Won't be doing that again.
Laura: No. How come?
Ron: Um, it was so nice when there were only three of the noise boys, because we all had a seat and lots of fun.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: When there's all of them, it's far. It's too cramped. That many boys. Um, and it didn't save me any time, but it did save me a bit of money. I don't want to sound ungrateful. And I did have a nice time, but it was cramped.
Laura: Yeah. Yeah. That's two. Two man adult human butts in a row in the back.
Ron: Yeah. And also, they have a rule where if it's your guest, you have to sit in the bag. So then Tom was in the bag, and he's a huge man.
Laura: He's got the biggest butt.
Ron: Yeah, he does.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: It was butt sweat city. Swampy.
Laura: You got to be pressed up against Tom for 4 hours. Jealous.
Ron: Mm mm mm. But then also pressed against Robin gruh. Uh. Oh.
Laura: And Robin is the worst one. Uh, if you don't know the work of the noise next door, I urge you to seek them out now. You'll know which one's Robin instantly. He's the worst one. Got him.
Ron: Yeah. I saw them perform in Bristol. It was lovely.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Tom's really funny, isn't he?
Ron: He's a funny lad. Yeah. He, he lost the game at the end, which apparently he's only lost one other time on the tour.
Laura: Oh, no.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Seen the tour yet?
Ron: Um. Um. It's good. It's a good tour.
Laura: You said it was the best you've seen them in a while.
Ron: I think it's the best. Um, um, just like, sort of vanilla improvised. I've seen them, yeah.
Laura: What do you mean, vanilla? Improv.
Ron: You've seen them like, uh, uh, not like a lock in, you know, with guests or.
Boys are back in town. Just boys being boys boys boys. Yeah, just like them doing improv
Yeah, just like them doing improv.
Laura: Just boys being boys. Just boys being boys boys boys boys.
Ron: Boys boys boys.
Laura: Um, um.
Ron: Boy shaggy little.
Laura: We can get together wonder. Uh, boys. That was wonderful, but I forgot the.
Ron: Tune after you said that I was.
Laura: Gonna do you're my wonder boys. That's what it should have been. Sorry.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Sorry, everyone.
Ron: Now I'm stuck in a.
Laura: Boys are back in town.
Ron: Well, I'm stuck in a britop route then I was gonna. That's the day we caught the boys.
Laura: Yes.
Ron: Uh, boys. Boys.
Laura: I'm, um. Boys. Dab and d. Dab and die, boys. Say la boysenhe.
Ron: Oh, come on, boys. Are your things clean in this moment?
Laura: Nice.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Um. Oh, what just squeaked?
Ron: I've got uppy downy.
Laura: Oh, it sounds like a dog toy arms.
Ron: Um. Um.
Laura, we're marking chemistry today. Where do you reckon you got
Laura, we're marking chemistry today. Your chemistry foundation exam maybe turned down slightly. Sounds a little peaky.
Laura: Peeky, peeky peaky.
Ron: That sounds better. Uh, how do you think you did on this one so we know that you got. Let me just double cheque. I think.
Laura: You can't keep turning away from the microphone like that, Ron.
Ron: This is where my screen is. What if I come round?
Laura: Which are you going to be looking at the most?
Ron: Well, I've got multiple screens.
Laura: Well, that's not helpful for your podcasting.
Ron: I've got Mark's paper and your answers all up on. I thought this was gonna be so fucking slick because, like, last time, it was really difficult, so I had to swap between pages. Now I've got everything. What
00:10:00
Ron: if I go like this? Is that good?
Laura: It's lovely.
Ron: Lovely. Yeah. So you gotta, um, did as well.
Laura: In chemistry as I did in biology.
Ron: You got 73 in biology. Where would you. Where do you reckon you got?
Laura: I think 60 for chemistry.
Ron: You think 60? Okay, so we don't know what that would be. And quite frankly, even if we had. Even if we had the graph up in front of us, um, we did.
Laura: Try our best to work it out. Maybe somebody here's a science teacher and knows and can tell us.
Ron: Yeah. If you work in. In the GCSE factory, could you help us interpret these grades, please? Yeah, um. Because we don't know.
Laura: We don't know anything at all because we're one moment from boys.
Ron: The boys are backing boys.
Laura: Dancing on the boys.
Ron: What? A boy dancing on the boysenheid. Who's this for?
Laura: It's for us. And we don't listen to it because we're so sick of it by the time it goes out.
Ron: Well, we're back up to a good lag time now, so I might start listening to it again. Right, Laurie?
We started off talking about a classic topic in Lex edge: boys education
We started off talking about a classic topic in Lex edge, Lex Edgan, Lex educated, Lex legend.
Laura: Boys education.
Ron: There's a daddy long legs there.
Laura: Oh, uh, daddy longboys.
Ron: It's boy long legs.
Laura: Do you know what the worst one is, daddy Boylegs. I'm daddy boy's legs.
Ron: Um, yeah.
You were asked which particle has no electrical charge and you correctly said neutron
So we started off classic legs head topic, talking about atoms and the things that make them up. You were asked which particle has no electrical charge. You said neutron. It was a neutron marks. You said, you were asked which particles have the same relative mass, and you correctly said neutron and proton.
Laura: Yes. Uh, yes, yes, yes, yes. It's.
Ron: I was very proud. We're not proud. I'm not going to take that much credit for it. It was nice to see when we're going through this, because this isn't. This isn't a bit that came naturally to you. So I think this is a sign. This is an area where you knuckle down and you just fucking learnt a thing.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: And that's cool.
Laura: It got hammered in after the 18th argument about it. It finally settled somewhere in the pit of ideas at the bottom of my brain.
Ron: Um, you, uh. Then it was about working out how many atoms were in a compound. Again. You got it right, Laura. It was great.
Laura: Um, you and then always, never. Boys.
Ron: Boys are never alone.
Laura: Who let the boys out? Boys, boys, boys, boys.
Ron: Boy.
Laura: So silly.
Ron: Yes, it's a fun game.
Laura: Twinkle, twinkle little boys.
Ron: No, you need. You need to start injecting your boys more sporadically.
Laura: I thought that was really creepy. Twinkle, twinkle little boys.
Ron: No, but what if it was Twinkle boy, little star?
Laura: I think it has to be multiple voice. Oh.
Ron: Uh. Twinkle, twinkle boy. Stop.
Laura: Exactly. That's. Yeah, yeah.
Ron: Ah, I can't do this one. There's a star. Uh. Man m waiting in the boys. Um, then, Laura, you had to, um, work out which element. Element Z was then. It has three electrons, four neutrons and three protons. You correctly identified it as lithium, and everything was going flippity jibs for you so far in this question. The next one is one you had to draw. Do you have your drawings?
Laura: You with the boys out, it's less dangerous. Um, no, I've lost that piece of paper. Can you take a picture of it for prosperity?
Ron: No. And I've just written down three marks.
Laura: Well, I must have got it right, then.
Ron: Well, you got three out of four.
Laura: Oh, uh,
00:15:00
Laura: shall I go and look for that piece of paper? Hang on. Maybe it's over here.
Ron: But I think the problem was that you put all of the electrons on the shell on the same shell.
Laura: Oh, uh, no. Sounds like me. I like to keep things tidy.
Ron: I think that was the ish.
Laura: No, I think that piece of paper must be upstairs, Ron, and I'm not going to poke the sleeping baby bear by going to have a look.
Ron: Well, yeah, I think what happens, we.
Laura: Can only be professional in one way. We can either, uh, be not eating or we can have all the stuff we're supposed to have.
Ron: Laura, we haven't launched our professional rebrand yet.
Laura: No, but we have stopped eating.
Ron: Yeah, I think that is bare fucking mint.
Laura: M. That episode went out today, though, and no one's mentioned the pistachios. So maybe people just listen because we.
Ron: Don'T have any listeners left.
Laura: I think people do. Just listen now. Just heads down, do their bingo, and as soon as they've got a full house, they switch it off.
Ron: Yeah. It's become just kind of not a chore, but just a task. Yeah, listen, get it done. Give them their sprinkling of hellos. Off you go.
You correctly put all of the neutrons and protons in the nucleus
Um, so, yeah, I think so, Laura, the problem that we had there was so you correctly put all of the neutrons and protons in the nucleus. Um, I mean, you did put three electrons in the shells, but they weren't arranged with two on the inner buoy and then one on the outer.
Laura: Boy, do you know what else I might have done, Ron, is I might have put the protons outside the nucleus.
Ron: Um, no, I don't think that is what you did.
Laura: Oh, great. Well done, me.
Ron: But again, I'm not sure. So, eight out of nine for question one, Laura.
Laura: Pretty good, pretty good.
Ron: But at this stage in biology, we're nothing. Losing these marks.
Laura: No, but this was night two. Madness was setting in. I think these are the episodes where we start, like, chocolating up biscuits and eating them as sandwiches.
Ron: Babes.
Laura: I think we did.
Ron: It's very possible.
Laura, you had to identify the ion. Now, I seem to remember you didn't have any idea
All right, next up, Laura, we start talking about acids. Okay?
Laura: Oh, no, not butteds.
Ron: Uh, you had to identify the ion. Always produced an aqueous solution with acid and alkali. Now, I seem to remember you didn't have any idea when you started looking.
Laura: One of those ones where I was just sort of, um, swimming in a big swimming pool and the sides were too far away and the sides had a. Some knowledge on. Can you share your screen so I can see the paper? Just to make it easier to remember?
Ron: Um, we'd, um, have to change how we're doing this. Oh, because you're on my phone.
Laura: So that's a no, then?
Ron: Yeah. So why don't you just get it up as well? Hang on. Should I send you the paper?
Laura: You get it up.
Ron: Annie. Are you boys. Are you boys.
Laura: Um.
Ron: Are you boys? Annie, don't sing over my.
Laura: Sorry, what was your one?
Ron: Annie? Are you boys? Are you boys? Are you boys, Annie? Pretty good.
Laura: It's very good. I liked it.
Ron: There you go. There's the paper.
Laura: Okay. Um, let's find this ions business. Uh. Oh, yeah. Cl minus and h plus and na plus and, oh, minus and software two r. Yeah, I don't have a clue.
Ron: But you know what, Laura?
Laura: Did I get them right, Ron?
Ron: You did. So, um, you'll. And I think you use. I think you used the right logic. I, uh, might be giving you too much credit there, but you see how h plus and oh minus together make a water?
Laura: Mm hmm.
Ron: That's kind of the thing about acid, is it's kind of like the ying and yang of water.
Laura: Oh.
Ron: Except both evil.
Laura: Um, yes. No idea. Goodbye.
Ron: Um, so, yeah, um. Cause water. Do you remember we've talked about this? Water's always breaking
00:20:00
Ron: apart and reforming.
Laura: Yep.
Ron: And acids just growing.
Laura: Yeah. I'm supposed to drink it willy nilly.
Ron: Willy. Um, after that, uh, you are correct. Word on.
Laura: Oh, my God. Did I tell you yesterday? Tatu, like child of the podcast, has a little boy friend, male friend. And he was having his nappy change, and so obviously she pointed at his penis and asked what it was. And then. So we told her, and then she was calling it a peanut. Were you there for this?
Ron: No.
Laura: And then she was like, oh, I have a penis. And we were saying, no, you don't. You have a vagina. And mommy has a penis. I said, no, I have a vagina. Daddy has a penis. Yes, Daddy does have a penis. And she just walked over to him and went, I want a cheque. Um, and then I was on the bus with her yesterday, and she was just pointing to everybody and going, does he have a peanut? Does he have a peanut? And luckily she says, peanut, it's penis. But for me, who knew what was happening? It was very good. It was a good bit. Child of the podcast. Well done, Laura.
Ron: Everybody knows what she was saying on that bus, guaranteed. Oh, why don't I move you over there and then I can see you while I'm podcasting. Great.
Laura: We're slicker than a boy with a thing on his eye.
Ron: Look, becoming a professional podcast doesn't happen overnight.
Laura: And, um, we've got, like, seven more weeks before we have to do it.
Ron: Yeah. And I think there have been remarkable improvements already.
Ron: Maybe we should start getting younger sister of podcast to sit on calls
Laura: I'm wearing a tie.
Ron: I'm wearing two.
Laura: People aren't even gonna recognise the podcast. Come a level.
Ron: No, no, we're disgusting nerds and we love it.
Laura: We should have slick podcasting nicknames. Um, I'll be Mikey microphone. You'll be Henry headphones.
Ron: No, you will be Michael microphone.
Laura: There's a producer in that can, like, um, tell us to move along and give, um, us information that we need.
Ron: Yeah, we should. Maybe we should start getting younger sister of the podcast to just kind of sit on these calls.
Laura: She'll just argue with us, though. She will just be a big spanner in the works. Not help.
Ron: Now, if we upset her, she'll sulk and be quiet.
Laura: But then I don't think the podcast will be the professional podcast we're trying to turn it into. I think it will be us trying to get Meg to leave the call.
Ron: But what if we upset her before the call?
Laura: Then she won't join. She'll say, oh, I live in the wild and my Internet's gone away. Yeah, see, now she's upset already, and we haven't even asked her to do it. She's listening to this with such a sulk on her face.
Ron: Oh, we could invite older sister the podcast, and she just wouldn't want to say anything anyway.
Laura: But then what was she there for?
Ron: She's the producer. Me.
Laura: What? Just reference a person. Sing silent in the room? We could do that with somebody that's not actually here.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: What do you producers do? What do you producers do for them, Ron? And they do all the research and they cheque the levels.
Ron: Uh, yeah.
Laura: Background noise.
Ron: And we don't know anyone that could do any of that shit.
Laura: No, I do it all.
Ron: Yeah, I edit slightly less than half the episodes.
Laura: And slightly less than half of the episodes you do edit, too. Oh, I forgot I was editing it for a while. So there's 40 minutes in the middle. That's just, um, as it was.
Ron: Well, sometimes I just listen to it like it's a podcast, and then when there's a bit that jumps out on me is like badlandhouse, then I did that.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Is that not how you do it?
Laura: Yeah, that's pretty much how I do it, too. I just think I have a, like, lower, um, bar for silences.
Ron: I find the silences to be funny. You've got a higher bar for bodily gross. No, I've got a higher bar for silences.
Laura: Yeah. I don't think you could have edited that pistachio episode.
Ron: No, I wouldn't have. Maybe not.
You correctly guessed that a solution of ph eleven would be alkaline
Anyway, we're only on question two.
Laura: We need to hurry this along.
Ron: We do. Quite frankly, we do. Um, you correctly identified that a solution of ph eleven would be alkaline. Um, and then you started randomly guessing, uh, bits of equipment that you would need to do an experiment that they proposed involving hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide by titanium.
Laura: Well, your tone suggests to me that this doesn't get 100%.
Ron: No, but you know what? Uh, you only guessed one of them wrong because you said beaker, uh, for the first bit. That's wrong, pipette.
Laura: How's that wrong?
Ron: What. What's a beaker did gonna do for you?
Laura: Measure. They got measurements up the side, but.
Ron: It'S not very accurate, is it?
Laura: Oh, get a fucking accurate beaker then.
Ron: No, uh, that's a pipette.
00:25:00
Ron: Um, and then that was a type of duck. Very gonna sneeze, but it's taking a while. Um, then I think savvily you that savvy lee. Not like Savoy Savoy. Not as Jimmy Savile would. Um, you picked Burette off the next list, I think, because it was the one you hadn't heard of. Yeah, which was smart. And you did get ding the mark for that.
You wrote you put down over measurement of the sodium hydroxide solution
Then we moved on to a topic that you've been strong on so far in the exams, which is like rinsing other people's experiments. Yeah, you are dogshit at devising your own. But when it comes.
Laura: I'm a manager. I'm not one of the worker bees down in the lab scrooping stuff. I'm taking your data and turning it into a cure.
Ron: I don't think you understand bees.
Laura: If bees were scientists.
Ron: I still don't think you understand bees. But that's not my point. Um, you correctly identified that trial three was fucked.
Laura: Yeah, it's got a really different number to all the other ones.
Ron: And then now, at the time I thought what you said was okay, 2.6 suggest one reason for the anomalous result in table one. Now, and I, uh, have two points to make on this. You wrote you put down over measurement of the sodium hydroxide solution.
Laura: Mhm.
Ron: That's very weird phrasing.
Laura: Uh, well, you've overmeasured.
Ron: But that makes it sound like you've measured it too many times.
Laura: Ah, no, you put too much measurement in too much stuff.
Ron: But that's not over measuring. That's overpouring. Yeah, it's over poor. It's not over measuring. Now, the other thing that's weird about this. So the answers, any one from hydrochloric acid, not added drop by drop, did not swirl, did not rinse apparatus after previous trial, did not use a white tile misread pipette burette.
Laura: So not over measured then.
Ron: Well, this is the thing. And this is something that is a fucking theme throughout. You. You doing exams, is that in extra information? It says allow measured out. Too much alkali.
Laura: Yes. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. Oh, she's a. Boys.
Ron: You, um, get so many marks for the one where it's like, allow in the extra information. But you did get that mark in the end. It's good.
Laura: Thank you, mama. Boys. Here I go again.
Ron: Boys, boys.
Laura: How can I resist? Boys.
Ron: Super boys. That's a good idea. It's a good game.
Laura: Yeah, I like it.
Ron: Um, then you did some maths to work out of, uh, the mass of sodium, uh, hydroxide form. And, uh, you got this one right, Laura, the calculator. Yeah, but you're bad at, uh, units and sometimes you fuck them up. But you didn't this time. And you got nine out of ten.
Laura: Yes. All right. I've only dropped two marks so far.
Ron: Yeah. Again, you hadn't dropped any points by this point in there. No, in the biology. Um, but you know what? Okay. Um, then, uh, you will ask, right, we're getting back into murky water for you, Laura.
You correctly identified that graphite conducts electricity because there are delocalized electrons
We're talking about atoms and ions and things like that.
Laura: These do get a bit confused in my boozle.
Ron: Yeah, you don't like it. Now, what type of substance is carbon? Element. No problems there.
Laura: Know that.
Ron: Then we're talking about what makes an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons. Isotopes have a different number of neutrons.
Laura: Ah, did I get that the wrong way around?
Ron: Yes, because you remember protons define the element.
Laura: I will never remember that.
Ron: If they're all carbon, they've all got the same number of protons.
Laura: Hmm. Carbon. Twelve.
Ron: Yeah. So zero marks for that.
Laura: Shit. That's two marks as well.
Ron: Two marks gone. Yeah. Um, then you had to choose a calculation to, um, calculate the mass of one atom of.
Laura: Remember this question?
Ron: Uh, no, but you got it right. It was the first one. A little bit of standard form there for long term listeners. And then we came across everyone's favourite carbon structure.
Laura: Buckyball. Bucky. Buckyball.
Ron: And of course you identified b as the buckminster.
Laura: Mister. Fuller, boys.
Ron: Boyminster Fullerine. Um, then we came on to, uh, the structure of graphite, which, um, and you're quite good at m molecules. You're bad at atoms and ions and that stuff. But you're pretty good at molecules that you correctly identified that graphite conducts electricity because there are delocalized electrons in graphite. And that it is soft because there are no covalent bonds between the layers.
Laura: Yeah. And they slide about on top of each other.
Ron: Hold that thought, Laura. Hold on to that thought. You got five out of seven for that question.
Laura: Okay.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: It's just a little bit more attrition, which means that when I start to eat shit later in the. Here's a blank page and six marks. Do your thing. It's gonna hit harder.
Ron: You are, um. Yeah. You're leaking points so far. Um, but we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. Um, right. Then you had to calculate the percentage of. Was it lead? Um. Yeah. The spent is of lead in an alloy. That's just a percentage. You did that very well. That was three marks.
Laura: Then.
Ron: Um. Then you're still holding on to that thought, Laura, because then, um, the question is about, uh, the properties of alloys and why solder is harder than pure tin. Now. Uh, it says in solder the layers are distorted. This is because the atoms of tin and lead have different blank. You correctly said sizes.
Laura: Yes. That's good, because then, when you read that back to me then, I was thinking sizes. I hope I said sizes, not like shoes or something.
Ron: And then the next bit, though, is therefore the layers cannot easily slide. You said break apart.
Laura: Oh, that's wrong.
Ron: Yes, that is wrong. So you lost the mark there. Um. Then you correctly read it now from.
Laura: Graphite to a graph in figure five.
Ron: Graph. All right. No? Okay. What graph is it? Graph. All right. Graphite. Graph.
Laura: Right, I see. I didn't know what you were doing.
Ron: Yeah. Uh, you read.
You correctly identified that when atoms in something melt, they gain energy
Laura: You know who would enjoy this bit? Mum's friend Grah.
Ron: Dad's oldest friend grah.
Laura: Yeah. What happens when you fall out with grah on a holiday? A graphite.
Ron: Nice. I thought this was just gonna be an anecdote.
Laura: I don't think they fell out.
Ron: They definitely did. No, actually, they like their friends. They just don't like us.
Laura: Yeah, true.
Ron: Anyway, uh, you correctly read 183 off the graph and then, uh, interpreted another figure on it. I do worry these graph bits aren't great for the listener. So we're just gonna.
Laura: Yeah, we'll play through this.
Ron: Yeah. Um, and then, uh, the. You correctly identified that when atoms in something melt, they gain energy and become less ordered.
Laura: Yeah, like me eating chocolate.
Ron: Bloody fucking nine out of ten for that one, Laura, as well.
Laura: It's. We're up to question five already, and I'm maintaining a pretty good level.
Ron: Why would you say that?
Next question was which type of particle is often referred to as dust
Because the next question was which type of particle is often referred to as dust?
Laura: Now, I did go back and forth on this one a lot.
Ron: Yeah, like a dusty fucking seesaw.
Laura: This one was a tricky Trixie. Trixie one.
Ron: And what do you think, what would you put now if you could?
Laura: I can't remember which one I ended up landing on. I know I was going between coarse and fine, which probably means the answer's nano, because it's the one that I just discarded instantly. Um, I'm gonna say, course.
Ron: And if you'd said that in your exam, you'd have gotten a mark. But you didn't.
Laura: Dammit.
Ron: Uh, you correctly worked out the size difference between a coarse and fine particle. It's 20 times bigger. Um, and then you correctly calculated a ratio.
Laura: Oh, I know all about ratioing. I'm on Twitter.
Ron: Yeah, bye.
Laura: Um, now then, for my boys. Sugar. For my boysenhe.
Ron: Um, hang on, I've lost where we are. 3.4. Yeah.
You were asked which advantage of using nanoparticles of titanium oxide
So then you were asked, um. Oh, yeah. Then you were asked. Then you were asked. Yeah. Then you were asked which advantage of using nanoparticles of titanium oxide. What is the, uh. Yeah. Rather than normal sized particles of titanium oxide in some.
Laura: And this was one of your helps because I misunderstood the question.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: So you helped me. And, um, we chose a small amount of nanoparticles as needed to be effective.
Ron: It's not what I've got written down.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: It'S not what I've got written down.
Laura: That's what we went for. We had a big set, two about this, because I just discounted that one and then was arguing between the other ones. And then you were like, read the question again. And, um, I was like, I misunderstood what that answer meant.
Ron: It's very plausible, Laura, but it's just not what I've got written down.
Laura: But it is what happened. Go back and listen to the tape. Um.
Ron: Um. All right, let's pretend that we've cut it in there. Oh, yeah. That is what happened. All right, you can have them up.
Laura: Yes, because I'm lying through my teeth. No, I definitely said nanoparticles have a lower surface area to volume.
Ron: Oh, really?
Laura: No, I'm not, Ron. I'm not. I am actually correct in a thousand ways.
Ron: Oh, then you're not. No, no, Tricko's like that. You don't get marks.
Laura: No, Ron, you love trickos. And I got it right.
Ron: You can have half a mark.
Laura: No, I can have a whole goddamn mark because we argued for. About.
Ron: Keep arguing and you get nothing. Keep arguing and you get nothing. Keep arguing.
Laura: What's the point in you making me feel like a piece of shit while we were doing it, going there? What do you think? Here's the help. Here's your help. If, if that's. If you're not giving me the mark for that, then I'm having a help, an extra help on another one.
Ron: All right, I'll give you the mark because you're not having any help.
Laura: I can't get help now. Anyway. We've done it.
Ron: Yeah, we've got it. They've got, um, higher tier coming.
Laura: I'm getting help on those.
Ron: No. Yeah, that's higher tier.
Laura: Yeah. So I need more helps.
Ron: No.
Laura: Yes.
Ron: Anyway, uh, you correctly identify well, you balanced, uh, the ions and titanium oxide and you got the mark there for seven out of eight on this question.
Laura: It's. I'm, um, consistent.
Ron: The trickle continues.
Laura: Now everyone's pissing himself.
Ask one reason why platinum is used to make jewellery
Ron: This question is about metals.
Laura: Mm hmm.
Ron: Platinum is used to make jewellery.
Laura: Oh, yeah.
Ron: Suggest one reason why platinum is used to make jewellery.
Laura: And I said, because eggs are delicious.
Ron: You said, it's very hard and therefore doesn't scratch or wear down easily.
Laura: Yeah. Is that true? It's very soft.
Ron: It's very soft. It's very soft and malleable. Yeah. Uh, these things do wear down, Laura.
Laura: Yeah. But less than, like, copper.
Ron: No. Oh, uh, more than copper.
Laura: Why do we make jewellery out of them, then?
Ron: Because they're very malleable, so you can work them. And they're also rare.
Laura: I'm not a jeweller. Why is this on a science exam? Cause he's stupid.
Ron: You shouldn't know.
Laura: Um, I don't have any platinum jewellery. Look at me.
Ron: Yeah, you just. This really. You've just got copper jewellery and it's all wearing down pretty quickly.
Laura: Green rings all over my, my fingers from where it's bought up my skin.
Choose any two from bubbles and a flame. Also accept balls. Allow forms. Mark moves, floats, melts, disappears
Ron: So the next one was two, uh, observations that you can see when sodium drops into water. Now, you said farty.
Laura: Bubbles.
Ron: You said bubbles and a flame.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Choose any two from bubbles. Mark moves, floats, melts, disappears.
00:40:00
Laura: Also accept flames.
Ron: Allow forms. A ball allow catches. Fight. I had to bring in Var on this one because I wasn't sure if.
Laura: The form of Noah.
Ron: In the form of Max.
Laura: I wasn't a scientist. We bringing him in for he's, he's.
Ron: Over the age of 16 and therefore can do this, you know, once in.
Laura: Um, um, he didn't even invite me to his wedding. He is not a fair adjudicator.
Ron: Once at, uh, college, uh, uh, just for laughs, because we were cool and, you know, take. We're taking a break from fingering birds and that. Um, um. And we.
Laura: Everybody just so you know, is picturing, like a sparrow having the worst day of its life.
Ron: Um, um, we. We got Max to do just like, a mock paper for, I think, biology, which was the one science he didn't do, and he got a d. And then it made one of our friends sad because she was doing the subject and she didn't get a tea. Yeah.
Laura: What did she get?
Ron: Don't remember. Don't speak to her. Anyway, um.
Laura: So what did he say? Yes.
Ron: He said yes because of the wording of the question. Yeah.
Laura: Forgive you for the wedding.
Next question was about evaluating pans made of aluminium versus copper with
Ron: Next, we talked about copper.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: You said copper is harder and less reactive than sodium.
Laura: I believe that to be true.
Ron: And you got the marks for it. Now, next up was the first sort of essay style question of, um, the paper. And it was one that you were very confident on because of saucepans.
Laura: Ronnie.
Ron: Yes. So you said the question was about evaluating pans made of aluminium versus copper with. You had some stats about them. Now, you said copper pans would be more expensive than aluminium pans. Copper pans would also be heavier than aluminium pans. However, copper pans would conduct heat better than aluminium pans. However, this would be outweighed doctor seuss answer, isn't it? This would be outweighed by how much heavier and expensive they could be. Now, this was out of four marks.
Laura: And I got six.
Ron: I've given you two.
Laura: Why?
Ron: Because you forgot to use table two in your answer.
Laura: Oh, bloody hell.
Ron: So you said copper pans would be more expensive than aluminium pans.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: Um, but you didn't talk about how its copper costs more per kilogramme and you said that they'd be heavier, but you didn't say copper had a higher density, which is the information in the table. So you didn't use the table?
Laura: Well, I did. That's where I got that information from.
Ron: No, uh, I'm afraid that's not how it works. Okay, so six marks out of nine for that one, then. Um, we did, uh. Oh, you correctly, um, identified how sodium ions and chloride ions organise themselves as a big. You sad now? You sad now?
Laura: Yeah, a little bit.
Ron: I'm sorry, but this is all learning for higher tier. You're not even in foundation. This is just practise, Arunis. And we don't. Laura, we don't understand what the numbers at the end mean.
Laura: Anyway, it's all for nothing.
Ron: Um, and you've got two marks for organising those ions. Um, then you give one reason why molten sodium chloride conducts electricity. You said molten sodium chloride has loose ions, have more energy to move, and are, uh, not strictly bonded together in a rigid structure so they can pass electrical current along. Sometimes when you answer these questions, it's like a robot learning to love. It's just very odd phrasing.
Laura: But then when I do try to be like Lucy Goosey, you're like, you haven't said table two. You haven't referenced these numbers. So speaking, just straightforward format makes it easier to make sure you haven't forgotten.
Ron: The stupid copper pans would be more expensive than aluminium. Um, pans. Copper pans would be.
Laura: That's cash. Are 2.5 times more heavy as, uh, referenced in table two. Fa la la la.
Ron: You don't fucking know cash, man. Anywho. But I gave you the mark for it.
Laura: Don't say it like you're doing me a favour every time. You didn't give it to me. I earned it.
Ron: I gave it to you.
Laura: I earned
00:45:00
Laura: it. Uh, and don't say you gave it to me like that. I did not like that at all.
Ron: That was horrid.
You were asked to identify hydrogen and oxygen produced during electrolysis
Laura: Um, you can nut in the background.
Ron: Then there was a table about magnesium. Identifying, uh, which ions would go to negative electrodes or positive electrodes. You got it right.
Laura: That one was quite easy. That one.
Ron: Yeah. Yeah. Uh, you identified that, the mixture. Oh, that, um, the electrolyte, um, has a lower melting temperature and that's why we use it in the extraction of aluminium. From aluminium. Um, you correctly identified that water, um, is the source of hydrogen and oxygen produced in an electrolysis of aqueous solutions. That's all good. Then, um, you identified that hydrogen is less reactive than sodium, which is why I'm killing this. Yeah. Yeah, you did. Well, here. Um, then you were asked, give one. Then you had to interpret a graph about the production of hydrogen versus oxygen during electrolysis. And the question was, give one conclusion that can be made about the volume of hydrogen produced compared to the volume of oxygen produced. You said produced at a rate of two to one.
Laura: Mm hmm.
Ron: The answer is the volume of hydrogen is twice the volume of oxygen.
Laura: That is basically what I've written.
Ron: I did give it to you, but I just want to say, be more clear.
Laura: Fucking. What is clearer than saying it's produced at a rate of two to one?
Ron: Saying hydrogen is produced at a rate at two to one.
Laura: Don't talk like a robot.
Ron: Didn't say. Yeah, but you see how I said it in normal phrasing whereas what you'd have done is like two hydrogen atoms. There's no way to say that. Weird. Leave me alone. Um.
Laura: Oh, what's happening to you?
Ron: Hold. Hold your bloody phone.
Laura: What?
Ron: I said hold the phone.
Laura: You tell me off when I'm playing with my phone.
Ron: I don't. I'd be hypocritical.
Laura: Huh.
Ron: Interesting.
Laura: What?
Ron: Nothing.
Laura: What?
Ron: Nothing.
Laura: Well, why have you interrupted us, then?
You balanced an equation with lead, uh, oxide reacting
Ron: With nothing, we move on to the next question. You balanced an equation with lead, uh, oxide reacting.
Laura: Uh, why does everyone hate Jack black now?
Ron: Because he was in a Minecraft film. Oh, uh, put your phone down now.
Laura: Well, I know why everybody hates Jack Black.
Ron: Because he was in a Minecraft film.
Laura: What's wrong with a Minecraft film?
Ron: I think. I think it's aimed for children and people struggle to see that line sometimes.
Laura: But Jack Black makes loads of films for children.
Ron: Yeah, but then they don't like this one. Oh, yeah, I don't know. Um. Yeah, you balanced an equation. Two iron for every three, CO2. Well done.
Laura: Yes.
Ron: Then, um, the question was, iron oxide is reduced in this reaction. How does the equation show that iron oxide is reduced? You said due to reduction in iron oxide, there has been an oxidation of the carbon and a reduction of the iron oxide to pure iron, reduced.
Laura: Well, that doesn't sound like a robot or a human, so how about that, Ron?
Ron: No, that sounds like a drunk wizard trying to stop someone from entering a path.
Laura: Um, I assume it was correct one.
Ron: No, you needed to say, ah, iron oxide, boys. Loses oxygen to get the mark there. Um, the next one you asked to calculate.
Laura: Mom. Um.
Ron: Calculate, boys. Boys.
Laura: Bingo.
Ron: Um, calculate the relative formula mass of, uh, iron oxide. Now, I don't. I've written down 150 and the answer is 160. Ah, so you got that wrong.
Laura: Probably. It's your handwriting, you can't read it.
Ron: Yeah, it's now, it's typed.
Laura: Tweet. Which font, though? You're very bad at reading. Helvetica. And.
Ron: Uh, then you calculated the. The atom economy. The atom economy, you got that right. Well
00:50:00
Ron: done, well done. Um, and then you gave, I think, the most common answer. If we were doing the stats that you give when, uh, you're answering these, and you gave one observation that would take place during the reaction, you said bubbles. That was correct, yes.
Laura: If in doubt, just write bubbles and walk away.
Ron: Yeah. I think you've gotten three marks across these exams just for the word bubbles.
Laura: It's a bubble economy.
Ron: Then you had to put a bubble lover for metal.
Laura: Mister bubble lover.
Ron: A b c and d in order of reactivity.
Laura: I must have smashed this. I'm very good at reading a table.
Ron: You did, you did, you did. Because you have to see who has the most displacement reactions. Desulfate is displacing everybody. A, two people, b, one person and c, three people. I don't know why I did it in that order. Um.
Laura: Oh, plum pudding time. It's plum o'clock.
Ron: It is plum pudding time. You asked to describe the plum pudding model, Laura.
Laura: Uh, west boys. Boys.
Ron: You said the electronic for that. I didn't get it.
Laura: The song's called West End Boys. So I said, boys, boys.
Ron: That's the pet shop boys. I don't. I don't laugh at pet shop boys.
Laura: Pet boy boys.
Ron: The boy shop boys. You said the electrons are the plums in the atomic pudding. The atom is a dense object with the negative electrons sitting in the body of atoms surrounded by positive matter.
Laura: And I think any marker worth their salt would read that smile awry smile at my joy of science and give me the marks.
Ron: And you did get two marks.
Laura: Did you do the wry smile, bubbles?
Ron: Uh, then you quickly identified the order. We don't have time. Uh, that electrons were the earliest discovered small, uh, atomic particle, then protons, then neutrons.
Laura: Neutrons are very shy.
Ron: We just make sense then it. Because they're neutral, so it's hard is.
Laura: The point of a new.
Ron: They make isotopes. Oh. Uh, anyway, then.
Tennessee was first identified Tennessean in 2010
Laura: We don't really need different isotopes, do you?
Ron: You don't understand isotopes enough to say that. Then you identified that Tennessine has seven electrons in its outer shell because it is in group seven. Then the question then turns to scientific method, which is usually a strong point of yours. Um, the question was Tennessee. Tennessee was first identified Tennessean by a small group of scientists in 2010. Suggest one reason why Tennesseene was not accepted as a new element by other scientists until 2015.
Laura: And I felt like one atom being found wouldn't be enough and they'd need to find more. Yeah, that's bubbles.
Ron: That's not correct. Uh, yeah, you did. You said they had to get further evidence. Um, not correct. The answer was time for a peer review. Other people had to cheque.
Laura: Oh, so basically same fucking thing.
Ron: No, that's different and you know that that's different.
Laura: Getting more evidence.
Ron: Uh, you calculated the relative atomic mass.
Laura: Of element of any of my work peer reviewed? I do it on a peer, so it's my peer peer review, you know.
Ron: Yeah. With your peers?
Laura: Yeah. Uh, we're all boys on a summer holiday.
Ron: And then, so that was eight out of nine.
Laura: Staying steady.
Ron: You are.
Then we're back onto scientific method. Laura, a strong topic for you. Then we're interpreting a table, which. This is the one
Then we're back onto scientific method. Laura, a strong topic for you. Um, the independent variable was the mass of ammonium nitrate. Nice. The dependent variable was the temperature. Nice. Two points.
Laura: This is the one, by the way, guys who are listening, Ron's forgotten there are listeners. This is the one, um, with different masses of ammonia nitrate dissolved in water in a polystyrene cup.
Ron: Yes. Um, then there was loads of graph questions, which we just give you the answer, the marks for. Um, then. Then we're interpreting a table, which. Laura, you're wicked smart at, right? Explain why the student added plus or -0.3 degrees
00:55:00
Ron: after the mean lowest temperature.
Laura: And I smashed it. Right? No.
Ron: Uh, you said all of the test results fell within that bracket.
Laura: They did.
Ron: Uh, the answer was, it is the uncertainty.
Laura: What the fuck does that mean? I've never heard of that.
Ron: It's the uncertainty because 0.3 is the range. About the mean value.
Laura: That's what I said.
Ron: You didn't talk about the range and you didn't say the word. It's the uncertainty.
Laura: Well, I don't know the phrase it's the uncertainty. You've never taught me that, so I couldn't have. And secondly, I did. I said they all fell within that.
Ron: He didn't say, it's the range. That's a mathematical term, specific word.
Laura: Because I wasn't being a fucking robot.
Ron: I'm sorry.
Laura: I think you, you ate that one. Because you never taught me any of that.
Ron: You wouldn't know if I had. I haven't. Um.
Laura: No, you did.
Ron: I haven't. You wouldn't know if I had.
You thought it was a zero error and you got eight marks out of eleven
Then we fell down again. M on something that you really fucking struggle with. You really can't understand different types of error.
Laura: This was a zero error.
Ron: No, this is a random error. You thought it was a zero error and you got eight marks out of eleven.
Laura: Uh, okay. Oh, no.
This question is about making a soluble salt from zinc chloride
And now the next page is a big old page with six marks. What do we have to do here? Plan a method. Oh, no, there's no way I've got more than two here.
Ron: Yeah, this question is about making a soluble salt. Plan a method to make a pure dry crystals of zinc chloride from zinc carbonate dilute acid. Sorry.
Laura: Stop laughing.
Ron: Hang on. Oh, man. I made some. I made an indonesian curry yesterday and Max wanted to make some sambal and he got some shrimp paste. Have you ever smelled shrimp paste?
Laura: No. It's disgusting.
Ron: It smells like rotten pennies. It's horrible. Um, you can still smell it in the walls. It's horrible. Anyway, you said, put the zinc carbonate in hydrochloric acid. And then I'm going to get water and zinc chloride. I'm going to heat them up, boil it until the water goes away. Put zinc carbonate in on sounding good so far. Uh, and then I'm going to get water and zinc chloride. I'm going to heat them up, boil it until water goes away.
Laura: Well, I don't sound like a robot there, do I?
Ron: No.
Laura: Um, as I'm an idiot but not.
Ron: A robot, you actually, um, believe it or not, you got two marks for that. Add zinc carbonate to the hydrochloric acid mark. Continue in a beaker and stir. Like this is what you'd have to say to get all six marks. Add zinc carbon.
Laura: Know how to do experiments.
Ron: Add zinc carbonate to hydrochloric acid in a beaker and stir, continue adding until zinc carbonate is an excess. We missed out that bit shown by excess solid. No more effervescence, philtre. The reaction mixture to remove the excess carbonate and then heat the solution. That's where you've got another mark, using a water bath or electric heater. I mean, you did say, uh, you said, I'm gonna heat them up.
Laura: Yes.
Ron: Then you did say you're gonna boil.
Laura: It.
Ron: And then leave the solution to crystallise. Yeah. So you got two out of six.
Laura: I had three because I said heat.
Ron: No, yeah, that was one of the two.
Laura: Oh, uh, right.
Ron: Then, bubbles. Um, you were asked to name two other substances that can be reached, reacted with diabetes to make zinc. You said zinc, manganese and chloroxide.
Laura: Uh, was that right?
Ron: No, zero fucking marks. Of course it was zero marks. Zinc manganese is nothing. And chloroxide, where's the zinc coming from?
Laura: I don't know. I didn't know that one.
Ron: No, you didn't.
Laura: That was the worst last question imaginable.
Ron: Now, Laura, I think I've done okay, though, after listening to that. Yeah. What, what do you reckon? So, remember, you were on 73 for.
Laura: I reckon I've actually done
01:00:00
Laura: better here on. I think I've got 75.
Ron: You've got 76, man.
Laura: Whoa, I did better. Uh, yeah.
Ron: So another five for you, whatever that means.
Laura: Whatever the fuck a five is.
Ron: I've got two of them fives across the board, man.
Laura: Yeah. All right, 73 and 75.
Ron: 76.
Laura: I mean, next week the physics begins and it's a big dog toilet. But, um, for right now, I'm on a double winning streak of happy.
Ron: Yeah, well done.
Laura: Um, thanks, Ron. Good teaching that dinner was really sad.
Ron: Did not tick the box.
Laura: This podcast is not sponsored by wagamamas.
Ron: No, more like badger mamas.
Laura: And wagamamas is not sponsored by flavour.
Ron: Although that chicken.
Laura: Yeah, well, I quite like my corn dogs, but not my noodles.
Ron: Wagamama started is sponsored by Laurel X's podcast.
Laura: Yeah. Um, chemistry. Good. Solid.
Ron: Yeah, I was impressed.
Laura: Better than biology.
Ron: Better than biology.
Laura: Like, a few biffs here and there.
Should we talk about the fact that we did the wrong exams
Ron: Should we talk about the fact that we did the wrong exams?
Laura: Listen, I didn't fully understand the exams or the message about the exams. What happened?
Ron: So we did triple science.
Laura: Syllabus.
Ron: Syllabus. But then we did individual science exams. Um, so the content was different.
Laura: Is that why there were things in the examined?
Ron: It wasn't anything to do with my teaching.
Laura: So when we do a level, we need to do the separate science syllable.
Ron: But there is no triple science a level, so that's fine.
Laura: Okay. That will inherently do higher tier, then, because there's going to be loads that I haven't covered.
Ron: We don't need to do any of this then.
Laura: I just think, why go out on a humiliation?
Ron: Because we've got it. We've. We've finished GCSE. We need to eke more content out of this.
Laura: Is it about eking?
Ron: Well, do you want to stop?
Laura: No. I mean, sometimes, yeah.
Ron: Well, then we've got to eek.
Laura: But a level will take a couple of years. Surely we're going to want to stop in a couple of years. Yeah.
Ron: I mean, the listeners want to stop.
Laura: The listeners do want to stop.
If you sign up for the Patreon now, next week we'll get your register
On the subject of listeners wanting to stop. Register. We're on the last register.
Ron: So if you sign up for the Patreon now, next week, you'll get your register.
Laura: Yeah.
Ron: So do that, and we'll know that.
Laura: You want the podcast to continue. We had actually a lot of new listeners this week, Ron.
Ron: Did we?
Laura: Yeah, because I posted on main on my Facebook about it.
Ron: Why don't you do that all the time?
Laura: Well, I share it all from my Facebook and put it in my stories and stuff. You know, every social media post you do, I share it, that kind of thing. But I sort of did a big one.
Ron: Yeah.
Laura: Caught a few people to start it. One guy who was like, I really love your stand up. I hate that podcast. Okay.
Ron: God damn it.
Laura: Don't worry about it, Eddie.
Ron: You should have waited until we were professional.
We're down to the last patron, so, guys, if you listen
Laura: Um, yeah, we're down to the last patron, so, guys, if you listen and you have the means to be a patron, we've never needed your love more.
Ron: I, uh, do want to clarify. We don't.
Laura: This on the spreadsheet is cliff edge. It's. It's cliff edge begging ultimatum. Well, it's not ultimatum because we've said we're not going to stop, but we're just saying.
Ron: Right. So this is one, two, one. Um.
Laura: Uh, are we recording when people sign up, though? I know we're recording when we beg, but are we then checking who signs?
Ron: There is a column for it.
Laura: But you haven't done it.
Ron: It says zero in the first one and then there's not really any more data. But as we're talking about, we've not got any more patrons, so we have.
Laura: We've had some annual ones lately.
Ron: Maybe.
Laura: Or maybe that was just people switching to annual. Maybe just all the people were gonna get her in. Now maybe that's it and they're just hunkering down with their annuals. But the club is the club.
Ron: You know, it's a couple a month, but that's a long time. Yeah, yeah.
Laura: It's a weird podcast.
James Hardacre is the inventor of zinc manganese
Anyway, do you want to thank this person? Ron? I've already done the music.
Ron: Yeah, do it again. Yours was weird.
Laura: Okay. You did.
Ron: James
01:05:00
Ron: Hardacre is the inventor of zinc manganese. Before James Hardacre, no one but Laura had ever thought of combining zinc and manganese to. So hang on, so you invented it then?
Laura: Uh, I.
Ron: Before James, no one but Laura. So he's not the inventor of it?
Laura: No, he is. Yeah, he is.
Ron: All we had was zinc anim. Elbows.
Laura: Yeah. Manga knees. Anime elbows.
Ron: Ah, fucking hell. Come on. Which was nowhere near as good and could barely be considered an ion. Thank you, James.
Laura: Happy days.
Ron: Class dismissed.
Laura: It.
