Introducing the lightly competitive knowledge showcase from the geniuses behind the YouTube series SciShow. Every Tuesday, join Hank Green, Ceri Riley, Stefan Chin, and Sam Schultz as they try to one-up and amaze each other with weird and funny scientific research... while not getting distracted. There will be tangents about video games, music, weird smells, surprisingly deep insights about life, and of course, poop, but it always comes back to the science.
Hank: From WNYC Studios and the team behind the YouTube series SciShow, it's SciShow Tangents!

[intro music[

Hank: The new podcast where four friends-
All: Hi!
Sam: Oh Gosh Sorry
Hank: try to outsmark and outwit each other but usually just get excited about the awesome science we're learning about. I'm Hank Green and I'm made of molecules
Ceri: Im Ceri Riley and I'm definitely not a robot
Srefan: I'm Stefan Chin and I never skip leg day
Sam: And I'm Sam Schultz the Chris Kirkpatrick of science podcasting
Ceri: The who?
Sam: Chris Kirkpatrick from *NSYNC , he was the bad boy

[music]
Ceri: every tuesday we tackle a new topic from amphibians  to sattleites 
Hank: and we  compete for who has found the coolest, weirdest, funniest sciencentific research on that topic
SAm: Like how all the poop astronauts left on the moon is legally the property of the U.S. government

[Butt fact farting noise]

Stefan: But we start each podcast with a traditional science poem. Go for it Hank!

Hank: This is a poem about my general experience playing kerbal space program

the engines on her rocket were lit
i instructed her booster to floor it
but then my mom called
and i didnt press pause
she ran out of fuel in her orbit

orbital mechanics
give me the panics
whenever i play KSP
my rescue sped faster
but then flew right past her
a sattelite she alway will be

Sam and Stefan: [sad goan]

Ceri: Thats so sad

Stefan: Alright but what if all those rockets colllided and became a bunch of space garbage? do those count as sattletites?


Sam: or like if a spacefcraft dumps out all its pee and it freeezes into tiny ice crystals?

Stefan: wha-?

Hank: I mean, the pee would probably vaporize like right after that instead of snowballing into a big gross comet thing, so theres no way that would be a sattelite. Roght?

Ceri: Yeah, i dont think that would be a sattelite but we can see astronaut waste when its dumped out, it kinda look like a shooting star

Sam and Stefan: blegh

Hank: beautiful


Ceri: Anyway We also make each other find the true fact in a web of lies

Sam: Okay which one of these facts about the russian space stations MIr  is true

1) Mir was riddled with giant free floating hairballs that jammed vital systems

Hank: WHAT, wait, okay

Ceri: Gross

Hank: You keep going

Sam: Number 2 Mir launched and tested a giant mirror that reflected the suns light to combat the long russian winters

number 3: mir smelled like caramel popcorn and no one  could figure out why


Hank: I mean considering what i imagine space to smell like, that sounds great


Ceri: im also dubious aobut hairballs, maybe if someone like lost a hair clump you could collect it and it wouldnt be an immidte crisis

hank: right

Ceri: the popcorn smell sounds interesting

Sam: Ha Ha It was Number 2 the space mirror

Hank: awww

Ceri: No!

[music[

Hank: Plus we take the massive amount of scientific knowledge  in the room and use it to answer some listener questions

Ceri: I can tell you how gene editing really works, down to the specific enzymes

Sam; I can tall you why Osctric phallses are a lot like hot wheels tracks

Stefan: and i know just enough about a lot of things to get me into trouble

Hank: all excellent opportunites for tangents

Sam: but hey this podcast isnt all aobut science

Ceri: Everything is science!

Hank: And if you wanna learn aobut everything  with us listen to our lightly competifive new podcast its scishow tangents, premering november 13th! subcrube wherever yuo get your podcasts.
