Dr. G Is One-on-One With Kellie-Jay Keen AKA "Posie Parker"
"Get back to our guest. She is that warrior extraordinaire Kelly Jay Keane, the website right now. You've got to write it down. You've got to bookmark it, standing for women dot com. And if you want to support her, you got to add up human female U.S.. She's back on Twitter and she goes under her nom de guerre. The posey Parker. That's the posy pocket. All right, I was listening to your superb interview with my buddy. Brennan O'Neal of spiked online. And he was describing, you were both describing this cartoon that ran while you were on your speaking tour. And I found it, I wanted to show up a 3 million viewers across the country. So here is an incredibly rude. You are a very, very attractive woman. They've made a caricature of you with a bullhorn. And then this weird kind of hairy male hand with a long fingernail, and the bubble coming out of this man woman thing is your turf propaganda is not welcome here. And you made some comments about this cartoon. Isn't this just, isn't this the complete essence of why you're fighting? Yeah. I mean, well, what an own goal to sort of try and try and make it look like this was like I was the bad guy in that image. I genuinely thought when I saw it that it was somebody who'd done a cartoon on our side. Yeah, the support you, right? 'cause there's this man telling this massive giant telling you to shut up, Kelly Jay. Yeah. I mean, the great thing is that that man's hand is actually supposed to be one of a celebrated so called trans woman. So even that, that's why the fingernail is long. Even that is perfect.

Dr. Thomas Williams Comments on the Nashville Controversy
"Let's talk about persecution here and now and in the United States and in the west. I'm thinking specifically if we begin with the Nashville mass shooting, which is on a lot of people's minds, the shooter wrote a manifesto. And it seems probable when we haven't seen this manifesto that it's full of anti Christian rhetoric. It lays out the kind of trans motivations. In other words, we don't have a trans shooter who just happens to be a criminal, but we have someone who is motivated by trans ideology and seems to be targeting specifically Christian children at a Christian school that is appended to a Christian church, and yet the police and the FBI are not releasing the manifesto. I find this in itself interesting because I say to myself, well, listen, if it was a white supremacist who said I'm doing this in the name of white supremacist ideology and here's my 12 pages laying out why I'm doing it, that would be deafening scream across the media, release the manifesto, let us be aware of how serious the problem is. So I'd like you to just comment on where we are now with this particular controversy where we can't figure out clearly the full motivation of the shooter, not because it doesn't exist, but because it's not being shown to us. Yeah, the paradox is really abound in this particular case. The fact, as you say, that, I mean, the first thing you would insist on, reasonable journalists would say, well, show us, we got to know. I mean, obviously the reason is all there, why would you not want the public to have access to this? And it's very strange. It does unfortunately be speak, you know, a lot about this particular administration. President Joe Biden has been a huge advocate of transgenderism, even among children. And so this is something that kind of part and parcel with the position that his administration has taken. But still, there should be more outrage, even on behalf of just on a secular media who are looking at this and saying, well, we have to know. Even if we don't like what we read, we have to be able to report on this that people have a right to know.

Modern-Day Christian Persecution With Dr. Thomas Williams
"We were talking doctor Williams about ancient prosecution. Let's come to persecution today, which a lot of people, as you say, don't seem to recognize or to acknowledge maybe not even some people in the churches, and yet you say it's going on all over the world. I'm quoting you. It has now reached unprecedented levels. You talk about possibly as many as 340 million Christians facing not just for execution, but in the words of a recent report quote high levels of persecution. So let's start outside the west and identify some of the main trouble spots and as well as some of the main perpetrators of anti Christian persecution. Who are they? Well, this is taking place all around the world, but some of the hotspots are in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. I would say, because you can name a few also in South America and other places, but the main core of these lands are these. So you have situations of atheistic communism. So you have North Korea where it's illegal to be Christian. It's illegal to possess a Bible. It's illegal to speak to your neighbor about Jesus. It's illegal to pray in any way that is discernible public. And you can be thrown at you. You can even be killed for that. And there are so many cases. It's just, it happens all the time. You have the case of China where at least ostensibly there's some degree of the discrete, but only kind of like in the case of the Roman Empire, where you do not in any way contradict the basic fundamental teachings of the Marxist socialism that is the undergirding of that society. And you can only do it in such a way as completely controlled by the government

Author Dr. Thomas Williams Exposes the Plight of Christians
"Guys, I'm really happy to welcome to the podcast a new guest, doctor Thomas D Williams, he's the author of an excellent book that I just read. It's called the coming Christian persecution. He's also the Rome bureau chief for Breitbart News. He's taught at the center for ethics and culture at the university of Notre-Dame. He teaches theology at St. John's university is written a bunch of books, he's also got so many other credentials. He speaks multiple languages. He's a wine sommelier. I don't even know where to start with your with your bio here. Doctor Williams, but welcome and thanks for joining me. Your book is unbelievably. Well, it's both timeless and it's timely. I've just been talking on the podcast about this latest grotesque incident, mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school, and it seems very interesting because in the book you talk about how there is a kind of widespread public denial of the anti Christian bigotry behind these kinds of actions and we're seeing it in the media coverage. The media coverage is I think I just saw a headline in Reuters, former student shoots up Christian school. That's it. No reference to the motive, no reference to the transgender perpetrator or domestic terrorist. So clearly some of the stuff you're talking about in the book and you cover history, you cover the rest of the world, but it's all too relevant to what's happening right now in the west and specifically in the United States. Well, unfortunately, you're exactly right the next. This is what we're seeing on a daily or weekly basis. And it's happening all over the place. It is only really deniable to those who are choosing to be blind to it because it is growing at an accelerated pace. Tucker Carlson last night on Fox News, the title for his segment on this was the trans movement is targeting Christians. And he made a very, you know, a very cogent case for the fact that this is something that we're seeing. There have been a number of these incidents this is not the first. And it's also part of the rhetoric that they're using, the Christians really are looked upon as the enemies

Dr. G and Mr. Reagan Know the Value of Classic, Pre-Woke Films
"You're making enough noise to wake up the dead. I don't have to wake him up. He's up. I don't have to wake him up. He's a classic Abbott un Costello. That's from Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. We've actually Bela Lugosi. That is Bela Lugosi in the casket. That is the original OG Dracula guys. If you've had enough with crap movies and TV, you know, there's so much good stuff out there. If you go prior color, Chris, isn't it just so much good stuff out there? Oh yeah, you know, it's funny. I feel like old classic films get a bad name. Yeah. Get a bad rap because here's what I think the critics like to do. They like to look at old films, they like to say, what was popular in the day? Well, I don't like that. I'm too good for that. I'm going to look at this thing that people didn't really appreciate in the day. And I'm going to show everybody why I'm so much more sophisticated than everybody else. I'm going to explain why I understand why this is so good. Because I'm so special and smart. Exactly, exactly. They're like peck from Ghostbusters. Actually. And they want everybody to think they're so smart. So the reality is if you just look at some of the stuff that was made for the popular folks, that was made for the general population, right? The comedy, the comedy love stories. A lot of this stuff, the William Powell, mirna loy, those films. I like the thin man movies. But also, anything with Katherine Hepburn and these old comedies where you would get a couple, there would be some kind of miscommunication. They'd get into some kind of an adventure, these movies were actually fantastic, very, very funny, very charming. And well written. And well written and really well written. Really

Chris Kohls Reflects on Harold Ramis' Performance in "Ghostbusters"
"Any hobbies? I collect spores molds and fungus. Another classic line perfect for T-shirt, the late great Harold Ramis. There was supposed to be a side bar story of a romance between Annie Potts Janine and Harold Ramis character. It wasn't really developed, but he brings so much to all of this as well as the person who helped scale back aykroyd's script and make it far more manageable ramus didn't just act in it. He also wrote a lot of the final Ghostbusters. Yeah, him and reitman says that he basically came up with the whole concept of this as a startup business as opposed to an already existing business like franchise, which was originally was going to be. And yeah, what they did here is great. It's almost like a superhero origin story. And I got to say Egon is perfect. Whatever, you know, Harold Ramis was thinking Egon was going to be. He said, I played it as a new age Spock from Star Trek. It was spark for the 1980s. Perfect. Perfect. But see, the weird thing is he doesn't come across as Spock. But he comes across as whatever, you know, a scientist, a serious scientist who really takes his job seriously. He does have this kind of ability to almost to take things too seriously and not to get jokes and to take everything literally like it's unclear whether he even understands that the secretary is hitting on him. That's not even obvious. So it's like, and he's perfect. The way he plays that he created, you know, sometimes when we're acting, we think we're presenting the character in one way, and then you watch it back and it's something else. And this is one of the reasons why some actors hate watching themselves. Because they're like, oh, that's not really what I was trying to do. It doesn't matter if the audience loves it, it wasn't what you were trying to put on screen. But whatever he was trying to put on screen, this worked.

Dr. G and Mr. Reagan Discuss the Original "Ghostbusters" Film
"Is kind of a sui generis movie. It's its own category, isn't it? I mean, it's comedy, but it's Supernatural. It doesn't fit into any other category, right? No, up until I would say probably about maybe ten years ago or something like that. I never even considered it a comedy. Somebody mentioned that it was a comedy sort of like Back to the Future. People mentioned that these movies are comedies from time to time and you don't really think too much about it. But when I was a little boy, possibly because I didn't understand the jokes. Because, you know, a lot of kids love this movie. But we didn't love it 'cause it was funny. We loved it because it was this epic adventure. And I look at this. Look at this. Look at this scene. Special effect here of the eggs cooking was actually the eggs cooking. They actually turned that island into a hot plate. I mean, this is, this is old school, but isn't it perfect? Oh, brilliant, brightly done. And actually, when I was a kid, that alone freaked me out. 'cause if you're like a 5 6 year old kid and you're seeing that happen, you're like, what the hell is going on with those eggs? And her expression is perfect. I gotta say, so Gordon weaver's performance in this film. She's not really my type. I wouldn't say she's my type. If you want to see my type, watch the music video of the song Ghostbusters. That chick is hot. But it's according to weaver isn't really my kind of girl. But her performance is so good she sells it. She sells it as being sexy. She sells it as being vulnerable. She sells it as being concerned as being intellectual. And Bill Murray at the beginning. Her and Bill Murray, I just said, are you like some game show host? You're not a scientist. Great line as well. And when you're an adult, you get those lines. If you're older, you watch it again. She's like, you don't see much like a scientist. And he's like, yeah, scientists are pretty stiff, I guess. She goes, you're more like a game show host. And he's,

This is the only part of the week that I genuinely look forward to. The rest of us just reading about transgender people and whatever the hell is Joe Biden's mumbling that day. No, I like you, you said this before we started the show today. I just love this part of the week. I just love this one. The fact that I have to have to make time every week to watch really cool movie, then make some notes and then just talk about it with you, Chris. It's amazing. Fantastic. Fantastic. All right, so you chose this movie. Let's start with the fact that some of my team members here, they don't get it. They don't think they don't understand what the hullabaloo is. Come on, Chris, this is like iconic, no. Oh, I think part of it has to do with the fact that you got to understand today, everything is computer generated graphics. Everything is bright colors and pretty pictures and everything's magnificent. Back then, you didn't have this kind of very special effects heavy movie come along every day. And when this one came along, it not only had the beautiful special effects, which for us was actually, I mean, this was the best that we had. This wasn't like, you know, it's sort of like, when you go back in time and you talk about the kind of toys that we had to play with as kids and stuff like that. I mean, this movie looked really cool, but also you had to pair that with really why I would say a fantastic story. One of the best stories in cinema, and these guys are just great characters, fantastic characters. So you put everything together and you know what? It was just a heck of a lot of fun.

Did the American Founders Warn Us About Dr. Fauci?
"Here is a question somebody has emailed us freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Charlie, have you caught any part of the Fauci documentary? What are your thoughts? All right, I have not watched the Fauci documentary. I've watched little bits and pieces that I've seen out there. This guy is everything the founding fathers tried to warn us about. The framers the founders, the promise of the American founding, by the way, I think needs to be a constant rallying cry for the conservative movement. The framers got it right. It is a unifying principle that unites people of all different backgrounds and races and creeds and religions. The American founding is so beautiful. When it's properly understood, not understood through a liberal lens that can the American founding was illiberal in some ways. That's a separate topic if we want to cover that later. But the founders and the framers warned us about people like Anthony Fauci. Anthony Fauci is an evil person. I don't have delight in saying that. I don't say that lightly. And Anthony Fauci has done significant damp, not just significant damage. Generational damage. No one voted for Anthony Fauci? He is a violation of the consent to the governed Anthony Fauci is against every one of the core promises of the structure of the U.S. Constitution, consent to the governed, separation of power, checks and balances, he's against all of it. He stands against it. So Anthony Fauci has a new documentary out, let's first go to cut 25, a D.C. resident confronts Anthony Fauci and the vaccine play cut 25. People in America are not settled with the information that's been given to us right now. So I'm not going to be lining up taking a shot on a vaccination for something that wasn't clear in the first place. And then you all create a shot and miraculous time. If it allows thousands of people like you, don't get vaccinated, you're going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and in this world. Something like the common flu then, right? You gonna pass. Yeah, definitely. Because when you start talking about paying people to get vaccinated, when you start talking about incentivizing things to get people vaccinated, it's something else going on with that. That's okay, because y'all campaign is about fear. It's about inciting fear in people you all attack people with fear. That's what this pandemic is. He's confronting Anthony Fauci straight to his face. Why don't more Senate Republicans have as much courage as him?

Caller Unhappy With Dr. Sebastian Gorka's Criticism of Ron DeSantis
"I was hoping to take a minute, maybe 90 seconds and address the top of my Friday, I think. All the people that are just outright attacking Ron DeSantis the past couple of days. And I saw an interview last night. Our newsmax, where the whole interview Brian understand us. And then they brought in a couple of people to respond to runs interview and one of the people with sub gorka. And I'm just on fire after sub gorka said that Seth was all wrapped up about Santa's being silenced for two whole days. After the Trump announcement that he was going to be arrested and then he was mad about sub was mad about Ron DeSantis using the term hush money for a porn star. And he was upset because others were thinking about that's what the case is about. Hush money to a porn stock. But what really got to me was when this was a quote, Ron DeSantis looked into a camera. Point this thing, everyone said, you are a former jag rang, meaning judge efficacy general. Rule of law should matter to you. And I thought I was just, I just went back. For the past year, I'd just like to remind everybody that in April of 2022, Ron DeSantis signed a bill banning CRT from Florida schools from kindergarten to 12th grade. In August of 2022, he formed the election crimes in security office, which has been very successful, but he's looking in the voter fraud. Also in August of 22, Ron DeSantis fired that Soros prosecutor Andrew Warren for not doing his job. I want how many people remember that in September of 2022. We

Dr. Sebastian Gorka: 'Rule of Law' Should Matter to Ron DeSantis
"Doctor Sebastian gorka, was talking to Eric bolling over at newsmax yesterday and incidentally, how about that big victory for newsmax back on DirecTV? Looks like looked like there was enough of a pushback that AT&T, the parent company are, yeah, AT&T, the parent company of DirecTV, saw fit to return newsmax to their big platform. Which is big news for newsmax. I'm sure they're celebrating over there. Here's Eric. Talking to our colleague, Sebastian gorka, and doctor G doesn't sound like he's much of a Ron DeSantis fan. Let's just say the governor of Florida has not shout himself in glory in the last four days. Let's remind everybody that president Trump is a resident of the state of Florida that he is governor of. He says nothing for 48 hours about the impending arrest of the 45th and potentially 47th president of the United States. And then in the press conference on Monday on another topic he's asked and he does this snarky thing twice. He has to talk about hush money for porn stars twice and get giggles from the peanut gallery. It's an NDA. I signed an NDA with president Trump in 2015 and I ain't no porn star. I was writing security papers for the presidential nominee debate and an NDA is absolutely normal. So the idea that he says this is none of our business I'm going to concentrate on Florida. You're a former jagran rule of law should matter to you in the interview with pays Morgan was a bloody embarrassment.

"In Seb's chair while he's down at fort Bragg talking to our special operators. But I am actually happy and sad to be joined by Gordon Chang because the fact that he's joining us is a sign that once again, China is doing things that we're doing badly to counter. I want to make sure you follow him on Twitter at Gordon G Chang. And his book the coming collapse of China can not come soon enough. Welcome to the show, Gordon. Thank you so much, Jim. Well, look, I think there's plenty. I want to start off in the less obvious of the two really bad things that happened recently, but China managed to get a deal done between our enemy Iran and our somewhat ally, the Saudis for a rejuvenation of diplomatic ties between those two countries. This is barely two years after the Trump administration managed to get a couple of gulf Arab states to sign deals with the Israelis to increase relations. Have we really flipped that far, the U.S. is no longer a power broker in the Middle East and the Chinese are there too? Yes. Actually, America's Middle East policy under the Trump years was like the best since FDR. But Biden's is clearly the worst ever and we're seeing that because as you mentioned, Saudi Arabia was a firm friend of the United States was supporting our efforts. We had the Abraham accords, which president Trump should have won the Nobel Prize for. What Biden has done is he's reversed all that progress in the matter of a couple of months. He did that by trying to isolate the Saudis and this is not a very good story for the United States. No, and

Dr. G and Chris Kohls Discuss the Imagery of "Conan the Barbarian"
"A little bit about the world that was created by mister Howard and also the man who I think probably more than anybody else before the movie. Helped us to visualize this world of Conan, and that's the artist Frank frazetta. So let's put up some of these incredible images. These were actually the covers of the novels in the 60s and 70s that I think, along with heavy metal in France, kind of helped to define a whole genre. So you don't get Conan, you don't get sword and sorcery. You don't get that whole subculture of media and movies without this, his Conan, the aged Conan the king, this is a whole world in and of itself, isn't it, Chris? Oh yeah, you know, everybody in the documentary that I watched the sort of behind the scenes documentary. Talked about these images, these paintings, and back then back in like the 70s, that was a really big deal. If you had amazing cover art, you mentioned you mentioned heavy metal magazine. Yeah. They made a heavy metal movie. And I just watched a YouTube video comparing the heavy metal movie with 5th element, the movie 5th. Totally. And they essentially ripped off the heavy metal movie. Yeah. Almost seen for scene, in some cases, with the 5th element. And it had that kind of influence in the 1970s that people don't really remember. I don't think. And I certainly didn't really understand this until I got much older because I wasn't around back then. So I didn't know about it. I was unaware. So what are these things that get to lost in time? We lose our perception of the things that influence the things that we love sometimes. And this

"Let's start talking about the cast. We have William Smith playing the blacksmith who is the father to Conan, and here we have well, it's about steel and it's a riddle. I forgot the secret of steel and nothing on the battlefield. We found it. I just meant that God's a giant. The secret of steel has always carried with a mystery. He was foolish for Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one. No one in this world can you trust? Not men that women have beasts. This you can trust. What an incredible, incredible performance. So hypnotics, the manly man. Do you recognize the actor William Smith and where we saw him most recently, Chris? No, I don't. But the funny thing you mentioned how good this performance is, it's actually a relatively small part of film. Yeah. It's just this little sliver of this film. And it's so epic and it's so well done. Excuse me. Yeah. What do you want to see on? Live radio. That's what you want to see. Okay, just brilliantly done. I mean, this is what you can do with such a small part, right? I mean, this is truly a great act of this man. What has he done recently? Well, this is the interpreter. This is the interrogator, the intelligence officer. In real life, in the Korean War, who was colonel in red dawn. Do you remember the colonel who? Of course. Of course I have another movie. Another buddy of milius. 'cause this was first. Right. He gave him a big wig, massive beard, but just, you know, and that scene on the top of the mountain with the clouds going by. It could have been so cheesy, so fake, but it just works.

And I had actually now really heard of this guy before. I've obviously seen him in many films, and I just haven't heard that name. What an underrated actor. I mean, I don't know all the stuff that he's been and I couldn't list you all of his films, but I know I've seen him in many, many projects. And what a fantastic performance.

"This is iconic as well. So this comes out when, you know, I am a teenager originally in 1982. And for me, it's kind of had a legendary place in the pan of plea of my childhood, my teen years, but as I watched it yesterday, I sat down and I watched it from beginning to end. It changed in quality for me, Chris. This wasn't a cheesy exploitation movie with ropey sets and bad writing. Dude, this is a really good movie. Yeah. Yeah, it's really an epic. Yeah. Truly epic. I mean, you follow the hero's journey from the moment that he's changed as a little boy when his family is slaughtered by his enemies to the point where he finally gets revenge as an adult. Watching that journey is truly cool. I mean, my ancestors are Barbarians, right? They're the German Barbarians. And he's not exactly that, right? He's not exactly a historical depiction of a Germanic barbarian. But I was thinking about that when I was watching this. And I think part of the reason why this film is so good because you did have cheaper quality films of this type at the time. I saw that the sword and sorcery genre. Exactly. They didn't do quite as well. Why did this break out? I mean, first of all, Schwarzenegger, of course, magnificent performance there. There were some other magnificent performances which we'll get to. But I think the attention to detail, right? And I think that comes down to John milius deciding, we are going to put this in a northern European setting, even though they shot it in Spain. But we're going to make this a northern European warrior, just like the books, just like the historical Barbarians. And he did seem to try at least to make some semblance of something that a historian would recognize as the life and times of a barbarian. And

Dr. Daniel Amen Describes How Alcohol Damages Your Brain
"There's two topics that sometimes my target demographic college kids don't like it when I talk about the negatives of drinking and marijuana. Let's start with drinking, is it true that if you drink too much or drink to excess or even drink at all that it can damage your brain? Any drinking, any alcohol has been shown to disrupt the white matter in your brain. So gray matter is brain cell bodies. White matter is brain cell tracks, or it's the highways in your brain. And alcohol is poison. I mean, everybody should know that. Drink too much can't walk a straight line, walk in a straight line as brain function. Drink too much, you say stupid things, you act like an idiot. Well, inhibiting is a brain function. But there's so many reasons that alcohol is bad for a developing brain because it disrupts a process called myelination, your brain constantly is putting down this white fatty substance called myelin that causes your brain to mature. And so if you're drinking at 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, you're delaying and sometimes permanently damaging the maturity of the brain. Not to mention last year, and I didn't talk about alcohol for 30 years ever since I started looking at the brain. Last year, I wrote a blog called I told you so. The American Cancer Society came out against any alcohol because any alcohol increases your risk of 7 different types of cancer.

And he did, and he lived a better life. Oh, it's just such an emotional story for me. Mark and I had been friends. He's a psychologist, and we go to the same conference every other year. And we're having dinner at the restaurant, and I see him injecting himself with insulin. At the table. And I'm like, Mark, how much, how tall are you? He said, I'm 6 feet. I said, how much do you weigh? He said, 244 pounds. And I calculated on my phone as BMI, which was 31. And I'm like, dude, you're obese. And I also saw him order chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and a brownie for dessert. And after I saw that, I couldn't just stay quiet. And I said, I'm like, Mark, you're obese. And he's like, Daniel, you're so cold. I'm not as cold as you're going to be when you're 6 feet under. What's the matter with you? Why aren't you paying attention to your health? And any of the dessert. And I help. As I love him, but when we were at that conference, two years later, he'd lost 52 pounds. And I was having lunch with his wife. And with Mark, and he was telling me how much better his sex life was. And I'm like turning red, but it's absolutely true when you get physically healthy. Blood flow, you have better blood flow to your brain and it's just so simple.

I mean, it's much more than that now. Is you are not stuck with the brain you have. You can make it better. And I can prove it. And we've done thousands of before and after scans. I do a series on Instagram called scan my brain. And about 16 months ago, I scanned Major League Baseball player, Troy gloss, who's the 2002 World Series MVP. And despite a lot of terrible and for concussions, he was drinking too much. He had lots of dark thoughts, he was suicidal. And I did his third scan last week, and it looked dramatically better. And he's dramatically better, which not only impacts him at impact. So he saw a correlation, you see the healthier brain, you also see symptoms improve and it's proof that this is 99% of the profession is missing it. And it's a long-term play. So it's not just, oh, let me give you this medicine and you're less depressed. Let me get your brain healthy. So long term, you have a dramatically decreased risk. For Alzheimer's disease. And I turned 69 this year. And one statistic that just horrifies me is 80 is 50% of people 85 and older will be diagnosed with dementia, or Alzheimer's disease. And I'm not okay with that, right? It's more normal to be demented that not to be demented. So as I take someone in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s. The idea is not to just get them symptom free to get them to fall in love with their and keep that healthy for the rest of their lives.

"Stories about the places where LGBTQ+ and stem collide. From a secret astronaut love story to a drag queen who brings math to the masses. Listen now to shortwave, the daily science podcast from NPR. This is fresh air. I'm Terry gross. The album that introduced Bob Marley and the whalers to the U.S. and the UK catch a fire was produced by my guest Chris Blackwell for his record label Island Records. The second whaler's album Blackwell released, burning, included this anthem. Stand up for your right. Get up, stand up. Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up. Blackwell and Marley continued to work together until Marley's death. Chris Blackwell was an executive producer of the film the harder they come, and released the soundtrack with the now classic title song by the film's star, Jimmy cliff. But that's just one side of the music Blackwell was behind. His label recorded U2, Grace Jones, Tom Waits, Roxy music, Steve Winwood, Cat Stevens, the B-52s and many more. He also founded the film production company island alive, which made the films kiana scotti, Mona Lisa, kiss of the spider woman, and the tacking heads concert film stop making sense. Even before he got into the music business, Blackwell had a fascinating life. He grew up in Jamaica, where his mother was close friends with Ian Fleming, who wrote the James Bond books. The great songwriter Noël Coward, and the movie star Errol Flynn. Blackwell knew these men and worked as a scout and production assistant on the early Bond film Dr. No. Chris Blackwell has written a new memoir called the islander, my life in music and beyond. Chris Blackwell, welcome to fresh air. It's a pleasure to have you on our show, and thank you for all the wonderful music that you've released over the decades. You grew up in Jamaica, you scouted island music, how did you first hear Bob Marley in the oilers? This was in the early 60s. He had started and was produced by well-known Jamaican producer called Lee Perry, who is really a brilliant guy. And that's the person who first started recording him. And then bob joined up with two other guys. And that was the way this. So when you first heard Bob Marley, you were unimpressed. And then about ten years later, you heard Bob Marley in the whalers, and you signed them. So when you heard them ten years later, what impressed you? I started to hear them really quite a bit because they started to build up their own following in Jamaica. They were very popular. But I'm actually met them in London when they were stranded in London because they had been doing some work in Scandinavia. But they hadn't been given the funds to go back to Jamaica. And they asked if could I meet with them and see if this deal I could give them in some way, which could get them back to Jamaica. And so I said, yes, and they came into meet me in the office and I was impressed in the moment they walked in for people who were stranded, they didn't look stranded. They didn't feel strange. They were powerful. They were strong. And so, you know, I chatted with them for a bit. And that's really weird built off. She decided to make them more internationally famous and really get them to an American audience and a British audience. So you try to, you try to bridge the gap between reggae, which most Americans and Brits weren't yet familiar with. And rock, which they were. So on concrete jungle, which they had already recorded, you decided for the first album that you produced with them, to add guitar on that track. And it was a session guitarist from muscle shoals from the famous muscle shoals studio in Alabama. So tell us a little bit more about deciding to add the guitar. Well, I really wanted them to have a record which would appeal to people who liked rock music. And guitar is a key thing in rock music. And this guitar is a new because I've worked with him in muscle shoals. And I brought him in and asked him to play on the record, and he had a little difficulty initially, because the rhythm was very different to the normal rhythms that he was playing, which was in rock music, et cetera. And this had a kind of Jamaican rhythm to it. But he played and he played absolutely brilliantly and he just opened everything really. He's really responsible a lot for Bob Marley and the wailers really taking life on record. Well, let's hear the version that you produced with Wayne Perkins on guitar, and this is Bob Marley on the whalers concrete jungle. I wish in my day today closer to.

"Kind of reasoning. Why? Is it just that very middle class people who are probably better off buying fennel? And they probably got a bigger bank balance. That's probably a very large part of it. I mean, there's lots of things coming together here about people being middle class and being traditionally middle class. You know, having grown up with knowing what fennel is and how you use it and having enough time to cook it enough money to purchase it. So yes, lots of assumptions about glass background, ethnicity come together here that influence those correlations. Those are kinds of discoveries that these algorithms make that can reveal biases or assumptions that we didn't even have. Or that we didn't know we had, but that become extremely stark when just run the numbers on them. So your bank might in future be asking you what's in your cookbook before they approve your mortgage. Thanks for that one. Now, rob, let's come back to you and it sounds like something out of a science fiction horror, but we humans are basically passengers in our own bodies. Aren't we? We are more microbe than human, really. We're really a collective. And so all of our attributes of our bodies that we think of as the function of our own cells really are more often of collaborations and antagonisms between ourselves and the microbes on our skin, the microbes in our guts. That mites that live on our faces and all over our bodies. And this is inconspicuous when we look at each other with our eyes, but if you close your eyes and you sniff people, almost all the smells of humans are microbial. And so to the extent that you love the smell of your partner, you hate the smell of your partner. I hope you don't hate and smell your partner, but if you do, it's really a very direct manifestation of this cooperative between our cells and these microbial cells. I interviewed a researcher for the journal E life, a few years ago when he published this paper. And when I first read it, I thought it couldn't be for real. And he did a study where basically they had cameras set up to watch two people meeting each other. One was in on it, other people just thought they were coming to be interviewed about something random. And they had rigged these people up with a system to measure when they sniffed. And some of the time, the interviewer that they were meeting shook their hands, and other times, they purposefully didn't shake their hands. And the hand that had been shaken spent significantly longer in front of the person's face, coinciding with sniffing than at other times in the interview. And he said, it was really funny because he presented this at a conference, and he said he then went to the kind of the party in the evening. The meet and greet get to know each other, time welcome drinks. He said no one was walking around with her hands in their pockets because no one wanted to shake it. This relates to what I think is one of the biggest mysteries of earth. It's not on par with the pyramids in Egypt, which is the human armpit. And so we have these glands in the human armpit called apocrine glands, and the only thing they do, and this is very clear is they feed particular microbes. And when they feed those microbes, those microbes metabolize the food that our bodies give them, and that's what armpit odor comes from. And in non human primates, we know that aroma is super important and signaling between individuals, gorillas can tell each other apart by sniffing and so it's this whole organ that it was very key evolutionarily and that we've now tried to hide in any way that we can. That's exactly what was on the tip of my tongue as you were saying that. Why have we evolved then to try and hide it? Why do we go to enormous efforts to mask this stuff? Is that just a big part of it's the pharmaceutical cream and industry, which is sold us on the idea that we need those products. A big part of the globe has a version of these apocrine glands that sealed shut. It's a single gene difference. And so this is true in most of China, but the antiperspirant companies have found that they can sell in a to those people with just by convincing them that they might smell. But I also, I think our armpits betray our emotional status, they betray our health and so you might imagine that there's some advantage socially to hiding what's being said there. Amazing. There you go. Now Colin, let's come back to you. We've got this question which concerns the relationship between mass and energy. It's about dark matter from Jessica. And he says, is dark matter and dark energy. Related in the same way that matter and energy are related. Of course, we know that E equals mc² Einstein's famous equation where energy and mass are interchangeable. Can the same be said for dark matter and dark energy? No. And so you're right to say that Matt normal mass and energy are two sides of the same coin. You can convert one into the other. Whereas dark matter and dark energy appeared to be polar opposites. They're doing very different things. So dark matter is like a glue that helps stick things in the universe together, like a galaxy, for example. Whereas dark energy seems to be something that's doing the opposite, not binding things together, but pushing things apart. So around the same time that Viagra came out, we discovered that the acceleration of the universe is accelerating. And so there's something between galaxies that seems to be pushing it apart. So we call these things respectively dark matter and dark energy, but I mean, really they're placeholders for our ignorance. We don't know what either of those two things are. We just see the effects they seem to be having on the universe. Yes, indeed, and I did actually meet the guys that weighed the universe and worked out that things were not just getting bigger, but getting bigger faster. And we still don't know the mystery behind that, do we? Because there's space makes more space and distances become greater. It's almost as though it makes more dark energy, so it's something of an enigma, isn't it? Well, this is another key difference between dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter seems to be at least the majority of verdict is that it is a physical thing. It's a substance that exists in space. Whereas the dark energy seems to be as you alluded to a kind of property of space itself as space stretches, it becomes more and more dominant. So yet another reason why the dark matter and dark energy seem to be different things. The only thing they have in common is that dark word and that's basically our ignorance. One cynic said to me that dark is the word that physicists put in front of things to make them sound sexier so you get more grant money, but I'm sure that's not true. The person who came up with the phrase dark matter was Fritz as Ricky back in the 1930s. Knowing how eccentric he was, I can't imagine he was doing that, but dark energy. Yeah, maybe they just don't get something. Well, from inflation of the universe down to inflation of other tissue, we were talking with you, Lou, discoverer of the effect of nitric oxide in the body that ultimately gave rise to Viagra and you're winning of the Nobel Prize for achieving that.

"And now for your fourth clue, France is busy prepping the biggest one of these in the world, and it should run up in 2025. Colin, your child. It's a tokamak fusion machine. You're going tokamak. We'll put that one on the list as well. Now, Lou, there was an interesting headline about nasal sprays for nitric oxide. Tell us more. Well, you know, I'm not sure exactly how much more can be told until these experiments and trials are really completed. First let me start by explaining really that NO or nitric oxide is a gas. And it's a very unstable guest, so in the presence of the oxygen in the air, the half life of nitric oxide is a second or so. So you can not put nitric oxide gas into a nasal spray and deliver nitric oxide, which will deliver, actually, is nitrogen dioxide, which is not too healthy for you. Now, there are a number of small companies trying to develop chemicals like nitrites and nitrates, the same sorts of molecules found in green leafy vegetables and beets and beet juice and so on. If you put that in a nasal spray and you spray it, then the nitrite in the nitrate can somewhat be converted to nitric oxide, which you can then inhale. But to the best of my knowledge, this is not an effective way to deliver pure NO into your lungs. The only way we know how to do that is to inhale nitric oxide. And that's where the ideas of the nasal spray came for 20 years in the clinic. There are gadgets that can produce nitric oxide as needed, mix it with the air and the patient's breathing in and it works. The nitric oxide gas gets into the lungs, and this has been used to treat infants, newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension and save their lives. Also, this kind of inhaled nitric oxide has been successful in treating COVID. They've been obviously a lot of observations that people who have heart disease and high blood pressure tend to come off worse. Do you think that your molecule nitric oxides bound up in that observation and the fact that people are trying this as one way to minimize the impact of COVID is linked as well. Yes, there's no question about it. First of all, and I'll make it very brief. In COVID, the problem is that the virus, the coronavirus or strains of it, variants of it, all must get into the lungs they attach to the alveoli where there's oxygen exchange and blood flow. And these viruses destroy the inner linings of the arteries that's called the endothelial lining. Those are the cells that make nitric oxide. We make nitric oxide everywhere, but in our lungs we make it for several reasons. One, to dilate the arteries so that more blood flows through the lungs, therefore, can pick up more oxygen. But nitric oxide is also a fantastic antiviral agent. Nitric oxide will destroy many different viruses, especially the coronavirus in the lungs and prevent their spread. Also, as you pointed out, nitric oxide deficiency is associated with all kinds of cardiovascular diseases, coronary artery disease or atherosclerosis, atherosclerosis in other parts of the body. And so on. It's all due to a decrease in NO. So if you decrease it further, you're going to have problems. So patients with COVID who have some cardiovascular problems, well, their cardiovascular problems are going to get a lot worse. Thank you for clearing that one up. Cancer, let's come back to you. We've talked about AI a lot through the program. What we haven't done is to ask you about manifestations of AI that may not be obviously visible to us, but are working behind the scenes. Anything that you can throw into the mix? I wonder how many people are aware, for example, of the ways in which AI related software and algorithms work in supermarkets. So my favorite example in this comes from Anna Frey and her book on algorithms, Tesco, which, from American fellow panelists, is one of the biggest supermarkets in the UK, has been collecting data on what people buy in the supermarket for decades. And has been using that information to identify trends. So for example, people who buy this are also more likely to buy that. And therefore, if you put this on a foot but not raise the price of the other one, then you might end up selling more and making more of a profit. Or, oh, maybe we should put this product closer to that product on the shelves because people always buy them together..

"Told you you'll only hear this in one place in the UK and here's your third clue without this, The Avengers would not be able to assemble and the Marvel Cinematic Universe would have nowhere to begin. Rob? Anything in mind? Well, I had a guess until the clue and it totally threw me off. But I think it's some kind of orthopteran, so Katie did cricket or relative. Okay, so you're going for animal. Yes. We'll add that one to the list. Now call in, you've got a book out at the moment on time travel, one of your 19 tomes, David's got a question for you, David says, in reality, there are a multitude of issues with the prospect of time travel, but if we think about how it's represented in the movies, would it be possible to travel in time while keeping in the same position in space or our space and time to intrinsically linked. As far as we know, traveling through time does also require traveling through space. So we know of two ways you can travel into earth's future and potentially one way you can go backwards, but all of them require traveling through space. So it's not a kind of tardis situation where you're getting a machine, you close the door and then you open it and you're in exactly the same place. You physically have to move through space in order to move through time. You're saying then that we could travel in time, but we would have to move in the course of doing it. But returning to that point, if we move and something gets in the way in the process. So say you flew across our solar system and you crossed the orbit of various planets, you're going to coincide in space and time, literally, as well as metaphorically with those objects. So do you end up just spaghetti fied? You'd be forward in time, but then you'd also be minced up. I'm not spaghetti, but if you're any object can be given four coordinates, right? Three space coordinates and one time coordinate. So the chair I'm sitting in is three dimensions in space and one at a time. If I move the chair tomorrow, then it's not under there. So if any two objects share those four coordinates, they're going to be, they're going to hit each other. So yeah, if you happen to go on your big loop around space to achieve your time travel, and you question commands for the new question mark. Of course, there is one other way that we can deform or distort the passage of time, and that's by either going very, very fast or going near things which are very, very massive, and both both effects actually are happening very visibly on earth right now because if we didn't take into account the fact that earth's gravity distorts time, our GPS system wouldn't work. They have the two ways of traveling to the future that are kind of alluded to. So you've got two options, like you say, go fast and return to the earth and you'll realize that more time has passed on the earth than you think. So you just get to head into the future. But again, that requires you to move through space. Or you go and hang out near something really massive like a black hole. And then return to the earth and you'll have the same effect. But that still requires you to leave the earth and come back. But yes, with the GPS satellites, that's the best piece of evidence I can give that time travel is real. Every time you push that button on your maps app on your phone that brings up that blue dot, you're using the physics of time travel. Because as you say, the system works because your phone receives a signal from the satellites in the GPS. But to do that, you need three or four satellites and works out how long it's taken to arrive at your phone. The quicker it arrives, the nearer you want to that particular satellite. But to do that, the satellites have to have the timestamp the signal, right? So you know how long it's taken. So they have atomic clocks on board the key track of time, but time is running at a different rate for them. As you said, for two reasons. One the traveling speed and to their slightly further outside earth's gravitational field than we are down here. So we have to artificially change the time on board those clocks. To hold them back into our time. If we didn't do that, the blue dot on your phone would be out by ten kilometers in one day. So people don't always buy this time dilation. When they hear it for the first time they say, it's just a gimmick where I can't be real. But you rely on it.

"Right, yep. There have been 502 men and 50 women so far. The longest spacewalk yet, a whopping 9 hours though, now that accolade does go to a woman that was pioneered by Susan helms in 2001, I could say helmed by Susan Hobbs in 2001 and also another claim to fame naked scientists contributed Jessica Meyer ended up walking in space. So a lot of big names appear on the naked scientists. Okay, over to you. Question two for team two, one of the unsung heroes of paleontology is Mary anning, and in 1811 she found a fossil unlike any other that had been seen before. This was in Lyme Regis. It was 5.2 meters long, but was it a pterodactyl, a megalodon or an ichthyosaur? What do you reckon Colin and Lou? Pretty confident it's an ichthyosaur. I've been down to the Jurassic coast before and yeah, I think I remember this one. Solid confident answer, and you're absolutely right. It is indeed ichthyosaur, that word means fish lizard. These were the reptile inhabitants of the seas, pterosaurs, of course, glided in the air dinosaurs were walking on the land all around at the same time. Ichthyosaurs looked like modern day dolphins a bit, except they had absolutely massive teeth. The smallest one, though, about one meter long, the biggest one, a shy dinosaurus, wonderful name, 23 meters in length, but law listeners to the program will remember us reporting just last month about the largest ichthyosaur specimen that's now been found in Britain. It was over ten meters long, so pretty fearsome beast. Right, we're level pegging both teams on a point apiece onto round two. This is a Nobel Prize is one of our team members might have an advantage here. Question one, this is for team one, Cantor and rob. Four women have won Nobel Prizes in physics since 1901, Andrea ges is the latest female to be awarded the prize. She got that in 2020, but what did she discover? Was it the black hole at the center of the Milky Way? Was it the creation of a chirped pulse amplification also known as the CPA, or did she discover the mass of a neutrino? What do you think? I'm just going to be guessing content. I think it was a black hole that she did. You're going black hole? Yes, Andrew getz received the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics alongside roger Penrose and reinhard genzel for their work on black holes. Her work and gentles were provided the most solid evidence yet for the existence of a supermassive black hole we call it Sagittarius a star, you put a star on a black hole name, but that's at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Right, well done to you, another point. Over to team two, who are Colin and Lou, Marie Curie, won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the highly radioactive elements radium and polonium, but which of these would give you the biggest dose of radiation if you had one. A, living in Cornwall, B, a chest x-ray, or C, a bag of Brazil nuts. Biggest dose of radiation. It's quite a lot of mind and stuff down in Cornwall. There's a lot of, yeah, there's a lot of stuff done that could be giving a lot of those radiation. So you think probably wouldn't be the chest x-ray, right? So it's either the Brazil nuts or coma, would you reckon? Brazil nuts have a lot of selenium, but I don't know what that has to do with radioactivity. I would have to go with the first answer. Quite right, living in Cornwall is the biggest risk factor on that list, but they're not all nuts if you excuse me pun. The average UK citizen gets about 2.7 millisieverts, which is a measure of radiation dose. Per year, just from natural sources. A chest x-ray and a bag of Brazil nuts actually give you about the same dose of radiation. It's about .01 millisievert. But here's the kicker. If you live in Cornwall, your dose annually is about 6.9 milliseconds. So nearly three times your background exposure across the UK. And that puts you on par with having an annual chest CT scan, which is a very big dose of radiation, and back to team one who are canton rob for round three. Question one, Sylvia earle was a pioneer of ocean exploration, and she was the first hero for the planet to be known by Time Magazine. She accrued over 6000 hours underwater. But which of these is the only true fact about scuba diving? A, after ten meters down, you can't see yellow or red. B, nitrogen narcosis, otherwise known as the bends, kicks in at ten meters underwater. And the buoyancy of air in a scuba tank means that divers need a weight belt to hold them down underwater, which is the true answer from those three. So as a scuba diver, I know that nitrogen narcosis doesn't necessarily kick in at ten meters, not guaranteed, and it can be delayed so much later. And it's not the air in the tank, but mostly in your lungs and suit that create the buoyancy. Does that leave us with the first one? Ten meters seems very early too. Stop seeing colors. You're going to have to pick one. Let's go with a nitrogen narcosis. The answer is actually a you can't see yellows and reds, at least properly. Once you get more than ten meters underwater, you'll appear to be bleeding a black color. And the reason for this is that water strongly absorbs light at the red end of the spectrum. The bond between water molecules is strongly attenuating of red wavelengths. And so as you go further underwater, you remove more and more red light from the light that's coming through the water, and this means there's virtually no red light left to bounce back at your eye from the red in your blood. Making anything that's that color look black. Nitrogen narcosis does kick in from about 20 meters really. I mean, obviously you can say and you're sort of right there Cantor that as soon as you go underwater you're beginning to dissolve more nitrogen in your bloodstream, but most people are all right until they get to at least 20 meters. And you are quite right with your physics. The air and a scuba tank is very heavily compressed, which means it actually weighs more than the water that the tank is pushing out of the way, so it's actually negatively buoyant. In other words, it sinks. That was really good science. You may Colin and Lou have a chance to clinch this one. Jane Goodall is best known, of course, for her time, spent studying chimpanzee families, but what name other than troop do we give to a group of baboons? Is it a, a flange, B, sleuth, or C, a coalition? A group of baboons, which are those three. So Lou, there's a famous Rowan Atkinson sketch. Where he calls them a flange of baboons, and I think they actually adopted the name flange from the Rowan Atkinson sketch. And let's go with it. I love the logic. That Rowan Atkinson educates the world in science. Very, very good. It is a flange. Yep, it's a flagship baboons. It is a sleuth of bears, and the coalition. Any takers? Cheetahs. Cheetah. I think it should be a deception of cheetahs myself, but that's just me. So that means you guys got three out of three and the naked scientist big brain of the week award goes to team two very well done Colin and Lou. Let's give him a round of applause. Mainly Colin.

Yeah, I was wondering if there are any there's any speculative fiction or even movies that you think does a better job of capturing the AI scenarios that you think are most likely. Yes, it's really interesting one. One scenario that is obviously extrapolated into the ridiculous. But I still think is worth thinking about is depicted in WALL-E, which touches upon two really interesting things and one is the idea of over pollution of humans having destroyed earth and then trying to fix it using technology. So you have the little robot WALL-E trying by his little self to tidy up these massive landscapes of waste that humans have created. And I think that is a very important message when thinking through technological fixes to things that we have done in the past. The other one is how dependent the humans depicted in the film are on technology because they're all these blobs who never come out of their chair and always sit in front of the screen. And that was. And this was before the invention of the smartphone. So yes, absolutely. Thank you. Rob, let's turn to you and your wonderful book never home alone. Nothing to do with the movie, very different this one, isn't it? Because you describe all the different species that live alongside us and despite our sometimes ruthless efforts to get rid of them, they're still there. Well, listener Alan Duffy has got a question for you. He wants to know about the ants that keep invading his home and what he can do about them. He says, are these just benign freeloaders though, or are they seriously unwanted guests? Where do you stand on ants at home? In most people's houses that they're just an interesting part of the natural world that's walking and in most cases, the pesticides you would use to kill them are far less benign than are the ants themselves. When you mention this whole business about cleaning products, though. Can we actually see the impact? Well, I mean, so I think we're aware of some of the ways we change the habitats around us. We're aware of when the birds change. We no longer hear the same sounds. We're aware of when the plants change. We don't see the same flowers. Hidden in those stories is the fact that we're fundamentally changing how all these pieces of nature work together. Most of the food the animals and cities are eating is actually coming from human waste streams. And so if you pick up an ant in New York City and Manhattan, most of its carbon molecules actually come from corn syrup and from eating animals that have been fed porn. But the other thing that we know is that we're triggering totally different evolutionary scenarios. But what we now know is that we're evolution proceeds most quickly, in habitats that are becoming ever bigger and where the selection pressures are really strong. And that's exactly what we've created in cities. And so there's an underground mosquito in the tube in London that appears to be part of a lineage that specialized on tubes and subways. The rats and the south end of Manhattan are diverging from the ones in the north end of Manhattan. And then the bacteria and other smaller species are evolving even more rapidly. And so they evolve in response to individual course of antibiotics. I think we look outside and we see something that seems static. But in fact, this evolutionary story is faster than it's been in a long time in many ways. Other houses that we're making these days a bit too clean for our own good. So that's for sure right. So we're coming to understand that we need exposure to certain species to be healthy. Now, which species we need to be exposed to is a very complex question because it's at the interface of the immune system, but we do see that as people spend more and more time inside and their houses are more and more clean that there are a whole series of broader immune problems that arise. And so these are skin problems. It's gut problems. It's some brain inflammation problems that seem to be associated with these changes. And so there's been a push now to think about, well, what do we need to bring back into our daily lives to restore some kind of balance? And it's a tricky question. And what the companies want to do is to give you a pill that has the particular microbe we need. What some ecologists want to do is to imagine restoring more biodiversity to our daily worlds and getting ourselves outside more. So it's a tricky time. We know there's a problem, but the solution is not fully apparent yet. No danger of my house being too clean. But if everyone was like me, what microbes will be taking over first? I mean, what if we all stopped obsessively cleaning would dominate? Well, so I'll answer the opposite question first. And so this will go to Collins work, which is that the International Space Station is a perfect experiment and what happens if you try to steal everything out and clean really well. And in that environment, you mostly get microbes associated with the body, the body's constantly falling apart. And so the International Space Station is full of those microbes. And then you get extreme loving microbes. And so things that can grow on metal that can grow on plastic. At one point, the windows on the mirror, the Russian space station, we're so covered in fungus that they could no longer see outside. And so the universe was obscured by the grandeur of life. The other extreme is what happens if you open your Windows, what happens if you live in a house that has more continuity with the outside world? Well, soil microbes come in, leave microbes come in, the insects that come and bring in microbes. By and large, those are either benign or beneficial sorts of species..

"Been documented. But it's a big evolutionary story. It's like Darwin's finches accepted the end you get beer. It's my favorite example of synthetic biology that is the brewing industry. What we need to whip up into space now Colin you're up because Davis got in touch to say, if I jump up and down in the aisle of a double decker bass, which is going along, why don't I end up down the back of the bus every time I jump, I just land in the same place. It's because you and the bus are traveling at the same speed. So before you jump, let's say the bus is doing 30 miles an hour. You're also doing 30 miles an hour. And so when you jump, you both travel down the road at the same rate. If the bus went to accelerate, though, then you would end up towards the back of the bus. Newton's first law of motion, right? That's something we'll remain at constant speed and let's act on by a force. I suppose it's sort of similar to the fact that when you take off in an aircraft and you're flying across the earth's surface because the atmosphere is moving at the same rate, you're not being left behind by the earth because people often say when I take off and the planet's spinning the planet's going a lot faster than the plane is. So why doesn't the plane just take off and hover and wait for the earth to come round to the right place and then land again and it's the same phenomenon isn't it the atmosphere is moving so you're just jumping into something that's moving and you are moving when you took off. So you just move alongside it. Exactly. And so the earth spins at a thousand miles an hour. So if you were to jump, the earth is going to spin out a thousand miles underneath your feet, why don't you land in a different spot? Again, because you're already traveling at a thousand miles an hour with the earth when you set off. So here's the kicker then. You must have done that thought experiment when you were little, which is that you're in a lift and it suddenly starts to plummet towards the bottom of the building. I'll wait till it's just about to hit the floor and then I'll jump and then the lift will go smack and I'll be fine. Why won't that work? So I saw MythBusters episode about this. About 15 years ago, but they tried exactly this where they have the lift, they put their dummy in there and tried launching the dummy upwards right before the lift would hit the floor. The only problem was they kept launching the dummy faster and faster and each time it wasn't enough, dummy would get smashed. And it turns out that in order to offset the force with which the lift hits the ground, you'd have to jump with the same force but upwards, meaning that you'd have to jump high enough to be able to reach the top of the building from where the lift started. That would just not be humanly possible and also you'd smash your head into the ceiling of the lift. You had decapitate yourself. You probably wouldn't break your legs, you'd just break your neck instead, so it wouldn't be terribly helpful. Go along with that Colin? Yes. No, that sounds right. From baffling British weather. Sideways, spines over the vertebra coming off here. To looking at a cheetah from the inside out..

"Any clues Lou? Well, it just sounds like gas coming through a pipe. To my ears. More clues coming up later on. Stay tuned. Now before we can answer you understand how a robot can think or how it can feel in the same way a person can. We need to get a better understanding actually what we mean by intelligence in order to understand artificial intelligence. And this is one coming your way. Cantor. How do we actually define intelligence first of all? It's a great question to start with and it's a surprisingly difficult one because there was one study recently which identified more than 70 different ways in which intelligence has been defined over the years, which is of course extremely unhelpful if you're trying to artificially reproduce it if you're trying to build it if you don't actually agree on what intelligence is. And so all kinds of tests were invented. They are also very strongly depend on your culture on how you grew up what kind of resources wealth you grow up with. Now, try to translate that to artificial intelligence, gets really difficult because artificial intelligence aims to reproduce something, well, hopefully, that is more like how a human in general or on average thinks and functions. Is that what we want though? Because to my mind, humans are pretty good at being humans, and some people obviously take the biscuit a bit, but on the whole, we're pretty good at doing what we do, but we've got flaws. We've got weaknesses, and that's where machines can help us rather than invent something that's basically more of us. Do we want more of the same? What do we want something that's not going to be encumbered by the biases by the difficulties, the intellectual constraints that humans seem to struggle with? That's a great point. Yes, in many ways, people are trying to develop technologies that are better than humans in some respects, but there is also for some researchers, this end goal of at least being able to reproduce human intelligence and create something that is at least as good as humans. Being able to do the same kinds of things that the human brain can do. Did you want to come in there, Lou? Just a fascinated with this. Do you think that an artificial intelligence would invent Viagra? I think that given the right information, yes, but what I think is absolutely right. You need to start off first with trying to mimic what humans do. Instead of right away, trying to make the artificial intelligence better, to have the robot or whatever, think better, think more outside the box. You've got to be able to duplicate what we do. But I think after that, you can then take a step further. And I think, yes, if the robot, I'm calling it that, I don't know what else to call it, has all the facts built in has a good knowledge base, then knowing what I knew, what I discovered, I think that artificial intelligence could have come up with the answer. And maybe even a better answer, maybe even a better chemical drug and do it faster. That is happening, isn't it? I mean, pharmaceutical companies are investing very, very hard in computer systems that can explore chemical space and find molecules that look like they would be fit for doing a good job. And it's a lot cheaper than random screening of a thousand different chemicals because there's no intelligence behind that. So with artificial intelligence, we can get right at the heart of the matter, so to speak. Well, I wonder if artificial intelligence could bake half as well as I hope you can, rob, because we're going to talk about baking now. Now making your own sourdough, of course that's been big business during the pandemic. People spending a lot more time at home. But it's crucial ingredient is yeast, which has been around for thousands of years, hasn't it? The crucial ingredient in sourdough is actually a mixture, so it's yeast and then different species of bacteria. And so the yeast are producing carbon dioxide, which makes the dough rise. And the bacteria are making it sour and producing all sorts of lightweight chemicals that add aromas, and flavors. But the first use of yeast goes back certainly 14,000 years, it probably was first used to ferment in China. And then spread to the fertile Crescent and then spread around the world from there. And so we've been using it for a long, long time. How do you know 14,000 years, that's a very long time. Well, so that's the oldest piece of bread anybody's found. The oldest beer is about the same time period. And if we look at the yeast, the evolutionary tree, we also see sort of a branching in the tree that more or less maps to that same period of time. Probably as we make more discoveries that time will push back further and farther. And we're starting to think that some of our other ancestors may have fermented things. And some of the evidence from that comes from capuchin monkeys and some capuchin monkeys appear to have learned how to knock down fruits that they can't eat, and then to come back to them three or four weeks later after they've rotted and become a kind of like a simian kombucha. So they knew that this was a way of converting the indigestible into the digestible. Yeah, they figured out a series of steps that allowed them to produce a new product. When we consider yeast, I'm going to presume we as humans have exerted some degree of sort of evolutionary pressure on the microbial world, including things like yeasts to make them do those sorts of jobs better for us. Become better use for brewing become better yeast for baking. We know that we've tended to favor for brewing yeast that are able to survive the presence of lots of alcohol. But we also know that yeast when it was moved around the world that it was under different selective pressures in different places because people used it to make different things. And so what we're starting to see is depending on where you look, you see different varieties of yeast in the same way that you might see different kinds of tomatoes. And then on top of that, what we've seen recently is that the industrialization of bread and beer production, it's favored varieties of yeast that aren't so good at producing wonderful flavors, but they're just really good at being consistent and working in an industrial context. And so that's a really strong selection pressure that's recently been documented. But it's a big evolutionary story. It's like Darwin's finches accepted the end you get beer. It's my favorite example of synthetic biology that is the brewing industry..

"Now before we start sifting through the science, let's meet our panel this week. First up, we've got AI, aficionado Cantor dial from the university of Cambridge. Do you actually work on AI? I'm a researcher on public perceptions and portrayals of artificial intelligence. So I look at the ways in which people are exposed to images, news, films, and other kinds of fiction about artificial intelligence. And how that shapes the way people think about AI and also how scientists and AI programmers and developers think about what they are creating. Are we any good at depicting it? Do people take away the right sorts of messages when they see things about AI on telly or on the news? Well, the interesting thing is that the ways in which people think about AI are shaped by stories that are so much older than the technology itself. I mean, if you look at films such as 2001, a space Odyssey, or even the terminator, precedes a current technologies by about half a century, so of course they don't accurately depict the science because the science has drifted so far away from it. Well, sitting next to cancer is at least virtually speaking, rob done. He's a North Carolina state university ecologist, and his work focuses on the species that are around us in our everyday lives right through from the bacteria that are in our guts and on our skins through to the insects that co inhabit our homes with us. And rob you recently published a book, it's called the natural history of the future what the laws of biology tell us about the destiny of the human species. What's the point you're making in the book? So the key point is that even as we imagine futures that have far more artificial intelligence or far more technological that we're still we D to the rest of the biological world. And so we still have to pay attention to the ways in which the biological world works. Just a simple example is that even if you think about astronauts in the International Space Station, those astronauts still get all of the microbes they depend on for digestion for immune health for much else from their mothers on earth. All their food still comes from earth. All of the microbes that their food depends on come from earth. And so even when we think we're very disconnected from the living world, we're still very beholden to how it works. And so the book is really the, it's an assertion that we need to remember to pay attention to all of these other species and what we know about how they relate to us. We brought up space sitting next to you rob is Colin Stewart and Collins space science guru. In fact, you've written about 19 books on the subject, haven't you Colin? It's quite a prolific output on space science over the last decade or so. Yeah, it's good fun. It's the thing I've been obsessed with since I was a kid, so to spend my time writing about it is. It's not like a little bird told me that I think you're the first person on our program to have an asteroid named after them. Yeah, I still think that's the probably the coolest thing that will ever happen to me. Is it actually called Colin Stewart, the asteroid? Yeah, it's one 5 three four 7 constitute. I just love the idea of an asteroid called Colin. Where is it? So it's a main belt asteroid, so it's between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter to that four kilometers for kilometers across. Oh, it's not small. It's not like a speck of dust. It's a reasonably meaty asteroid. Which is why I don't want ever to go like this because of death. Well last but not least on our list, also here this week is Nobel Prize winner Lou ignoro. Now Lou is an erection specialist. Well, okay, let me qualify that. He discovered the chemical. Nitric oxide. NO, which is a critical signal which is involved in opening up of blood vessels, including those that you find in the penis. And this is work that led directly to the intervention that is in the form of a well-known blue tablet. And as a result of that, though, you sometimes get called I've heard the father of Viagra. How do you feel about that? Well, you know, I don't mind that at all. I think that's really neat. And it definitely pinpoints the work, but I can tell you that when my mom was alive back then, she used to get very upset whenever she heard that. And she had always say, son, why don't you tell them to stop saying that already? You know, Lou, I heard that Pfizer have produced a little sort of bottled liquid form of Viagra. Did you know about this? It's coming out. It's in a little bottle. It looks like one of those tips correction fluid, a bottles. But you have to be really careful you don't muddle the two up, otherwise you wake up with a massive correction. Very good, very good. Enough of my bad humor. We better get on with our Q&A show. Hadn't we? Now, when we do these programs, we like to keep everyone on their toes with a guessing game, which of course you at home can play along with as well. So the way it works is that I'll give you a sequence of clues across the program. We'll kick off with a sound clue and hopefully there'll be enough information imparted that by the end you'll have worked out what this is. So have a listen to this. This is clue number one..

Were cracking the code of the fifty and productions james bond movie you only live twice and looking to see whether there are connections and relationships with other movies and other events and closely analyzing the title song. Let's go. hi. This is dan sylvestry. Tampa's out the huggies of spy movie navigator dot com. So let's get cracking on. You only live twice. And see how bond the writers and the producers pull this off first of all the title comes directly from ian fleming's novel you only live twice published march twenty six thousand nine hundred sixty four. The last fleming novel published while he was alive fleming died august twelfth. Nineteen sixty four so it was written after dr. No the movie was released. And in the novel we learn of james bond scottish roots and his father was scottish. Andrew bond from glencoe. This is fleming's nad to sean connery. But the title comes specifically from the pages of fleming's novel. I went back and looked right in our version of the book. It's on page. Eighty seven while tanaka and bond are speaking of a famous japanese poet. Who wrote hi coups. Tanaka asked bond to write one in bonn after much thought rights. You only live twice once when you were born in once when you look death in the face while it was an admirable attempt at a haiku. Which by the way on the seventeen syllables in the form. The first line having five the second having seven and the third having five bond did not write a haikou. Tanaka pointed that out. And says maybe you were thinking about your mission. So good go anyway. That's where it comes from kind. We'll start with the pre title sequence. Which will with a scene that is a modernized version of what we saw in the nineteen ninety nine movie planes also now as clouds over europe in new orleans twice we see united states spice capsule that easing gulf another spice craft incapacitating eight and the communication abilities.

After doctor no was a big hit. It was just a decision of which book would be the next one adapted and interestingly the decision was made a little bit by john f. kennedy he had given an interview to life magazine where he named his favorite books and he named the fifty and fleming novel from russia with love. And so you know it got a lot of publicity book sales. I'm sure went up and the producer said. Hey maybe we should take advantage of this. So they went with from russia with love. Which i think you know just looking at it now was a good novel to follow up dr. No because it does feel quite different. The locations feel quite different. So i think it kind of mixes up the franchise makes it feel fresh new. You agree with that i mean. In retrospect now i would say so. But i think when i was watching the Chronologically i don't think i've really noticed. Change Yeah so tehran was returning to direct. He was the doctor no director they had a doubled budget from one million to two million and so they were looking at making this a bigger hit now. They wanted a writer to adapt the novel. And so they went to lend dayton who some of you may recall as the author of the harry palmer novels although harry palmer is it named in the novels but nonetheless the creator of the up chris file funeral in berlin and billion dollar brain.

Because for most people, it's kicking back having a drink, having some food watching a movie if you're not going out doing it at home, maybe watching some shows drinking. Having sex? Whatever. What is it that you do? Kevin Carr. Well, I let you put it away like you did when you sort of see stuff like I like to try to achieve that. But, you know, not all of that is always a solo effort, so I sometimes either Consult somebody, but, yeah, Usually it's sitting back and relaxing and watching for me. It's watching stuff. I don't have to watch. You know, It's like a busman's holiday. You want to go for a drive in the country? You don't wanna drive from bus. Stop the bus stop with people screaming and yelling at you, You know, so I always thought there'd be a cool job. I hadn't actually thought about the downside till you just mentioned a man. I'm glad I didn't go that direction. Yeah, but I mean, I like to sit back and watch something that I enjoy. Um and, you know, play, maybe play a game with the family. You know, we'll play some cards or something at night, You know, get pizza, then relax. Sleep in. And then enjoy watching binge watching stuff for watching stuff that I do not need to review it all. But see what's nice is I have such control over some of the stuff that I review. I watch something just as an escaped and I go. I'll review that. People might want to hear about call it a vintage release. And And then though they'll think that I'm you know, put giving a public service Now. This is where a bill you tore A Lee speaking as the host. I should say Okay, Well, where's this one that you're guilty pleasure. That is the vintage release or whatever else to talk about. Do you have one of those who remain? I'll put you in an ugly space, which wouldn't be the first time. Well, I I recently and this took a long time because there's there's a lot of movies involved. I've watched all of the James Bond movies I wanted. We watched all the James Bond movie with the brilliant notion of finishing up right before the new one came out alone. Behold, now I know I got, like, five more months, but I think it means I can catch up. That's good, because I talked about it with you forever ago. How long did it take you with your schedule of Ewing things to sit down because I can't Don't know if it's because I can't sit still enough or or exactly what it is. Well, it's taken me pride. I would say about a year, but I would like, go and watch a whole bunch of them. Like all the Sean Connery once and then I'd like back off for a little bit for a couple months that I watch all the Roger Moore ones. So isn't bursts here and there, But what had happened was I had bought myself as a Christmas present a couple years ago, because I know what I want. I bought myself the Blue ray of the bond 50. Yeah, the one that had everything. Ray of everything from Dr No. All the way up to it goes up to sky fall, But then they have a slot in there. So when you buy the spectra Blue Ray, you could drop that into the box set. See, That's how they get you right? Because they know that you've got the whole and you want to fill that hole. Well, but that Xena what That meant. I'm sorry. What happened? I don't know why they call you left. I got my my son. Got me. The specter Four cable, right? I don't have a fork, a player, But then I just took the regular blew right out of the four case action and put it into my box set. So I've got everything from from Dr No all the way up to Specter. And so I've watched all of them and part of the reason I wanted to do that, not just cause I'm a fan, but When you buy a big box set like that. You kind of want to make sure all the disks work. Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Because I have a few things where I've actually not gotten through the whole Syriza's something. Even the light bought it. And you wait too long. Then you're just you're also well. Well, yeah, the certain point you can't return it. I mean, I was way past because, like I said it started a year ago. But at least, is one of those things that have I ever wanted to take a week off with the kids like I did Once about 10 years ago, we watched all the bond movies over the course of a week. You know, I know I haven't but I don't want to suddenly put in diamonds are forever and have it not work. You know, then you're like, No, We're gonna go track down. A copy of diamonds are forever you know? So, but they all work. Everything's good, and but that's something I recently watched, and then I decided to talk about that. Well, good on. That means I have time to catch up. So there is that eyes there Anything new that's going on. I know you're in the midst of mass screenings leading up to Oscar season and all the other rewards stuff or whatever, right?
