Hello and welcome to the SciShow Tangents Patreon podcast. Maybe called Extra Snacks. Maybe called Who Knows. What was that? What's happening? Hank's playing a video. Hank! Patreon podcast maybe called extra snacks maybe called who knows What was that what's happening? Thanks playing a video? Bad you were making the bad kid in school phase Bring your phone up to the front of the class Hank you're not supposed to have them out So this is our bonus patreon podcast and it's me and it's Sari and it's Hank.

And we got whoever that was that that tick tock that just started playing on my computer. It wasn't it wasn't you. The most frequent starts playing out of nowhere voice on my computer is you saying, why can't we throw all the trash in the world into a volcano? Yeah, we can maybe we throw all the trash in the world into a volcano? Yeah. We can maybe make a new intro video. It's got to start with that, though. Because it's a great question.

But it also makes me so mad at you. It is an old video because I think I wrote it. So we reused some of the lines the last time we made it. So it's been since you've been gone, but we just reused your work. Because you did such a good job. Well, you owned it. I'm going to really deliver the line different next time, though. I'm going to be like, why can't we throw trash into a volcano? Oh, that would be awful.

I'll put it just on April 1st and that's it. Yeah, the new trailer is just you doing that in all the impressions that you, Hank Green, can conceivably do. Your Australian accent, your Gilbert Godfrey impression. You're kind of like New Yorker guy accent. I like that one. Yeah. Hank Sock.

I don't know if we can do it right now. Why don't we throw trash in the volcanoes? People might like that. That might be the fresh new direction that we're looking for. All right. Well, let's just jump into it. For each episode, I didn't finish introducing everybody. Tuna's here, Sedena.

He might pipe up. AP, Eve's here. She'll have her classic thing at the end of the episode. For each episode of Tangents, we ask our audience for science couch questions, and every week we get a whole lot of them, but we can only answer one per episode. However, we don't want good questions to go to waste, so each month we'll answer some of your questions that didn't quite make it on the show here on this podcast, Lightning Round Style. An important addendum, Sari only has about four minutes, four minutes from whenever

Tuna remembers to start the timer to answer each question. I've been doing it explicitly as soon as Sarri starts talking after the question. So I can get away with anything. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not even going to try to time Hank. Oh, interesting. Okay. I've been getting a little worried about her sometimes because Hank did take up a lot of her time last time, but okay. I think it's a fun challenge if I have mystery amount of time after it goes. Well, here's the thing. Sometimes you start talking and then Hank talks again.

And at that point the timer's just going and I'm like, well, yep. I don't have enough cognitive power to metagame this, so I will just truly spew words out. And when her time is up, this is the sound that we'll play. All right, so let's get to it. Here are your questions from our episode on hygiene. Uh, Red Locker on Discord asked, what kind of microorganisms are really growing on those electric grooming tools? I don't understand that question. All the normal ones that grow on everything else.

Wow. What a cliffhanger. Hi, Tangents listeners. Sam here. The fascinating conversation that you just heard is just the beginning of a super special extra cool bonus episode.
