The Sound Of Science: Psilocybin News | Sleep Eating | "Hot Jupiter"

Introduction

Hello, my friends! Give it up for the man of the hour, Louis Ste! You know, I love Louis, and you know what I love more than anything else? A live audience! These people have been through hell and back to be here, through the heat and through the storm. They had to watch the convention, yet they made it! These are the people alive on the planet right now, and it's our job to give them the show they deserve. And oh, we’re going to do it because we’ve got some great guests tonight.

One of my favorite guests, a lovely fellow South Carolinian, co-host of The Breakfast Club, a New York Times bestselling author Charlamagne the God will be out here in just a moment. But before that, we've got Hollywood's man of the hour from the movie Twisters, Glenn Powell. It's a great time to be Glenn Powell; we're in the midst of the "Glenance!" The man is everywhere, in every movie, every magazine. Funny story, today I got into a little fender bender driving to work, and when my airbag deployed, it had his face on it! Great PR agent, Glenn!

Now, folks, if you watch the show, you know I love science. A world devoted to the mysteries of the universe: like quazars, quarks, and most baffling of all, Qdoba. What is it? We may never know. I like to bring you all the science that is currently sciencing in my science segment, "The Sound of Science."

Hello, science my old friend!

Our audience loves science; they just love science.

Ay, The Iceman's DNA Reveals New Ancestry and Surprises

First of all on the science docket, a new look at Ay, The Iceman's DNA has revealed new ancestry and other surprises. I've always had a theory that he died while doing magic!

Psychedelic Drug Psilocybin Dissolves Brain Networks

New research shows that the psychedelic drug psilocybin temporarily dissolves brain networks, an effect previously only observed in viewers of Love Island.

Rare Sleep Disorder Causes Sleep Eating

Researchers have identified a rare sleep disorder where people cook and eat food while asleep and have no recollection of it. One subject sleep-ate a casserole with his hands. Is there another way to eat late-night casserole?

Hispanics and Pacific Islanders Exposed to Great Salt Lake Toxins

A new study suggests Hispanics and Pacific Islanders are disproportionately exposed to toxins from the Great Salt Lake. Winds blow particulates from the drying lake into minority neighborhoods. Great news, everybody: the wind is racist!

Boa Constrictor Gives Birth Without a Mate

Without a mate, a boa constrictor in the UK gave birth to 14 babies. Reached for comment, the boa said "Ow!"

Moon Cave Discovery for Future Exploration

In lunar developments, scientists have confirmed a cave on the moon that could shelter future explorers. The discovery was made by an Italian team from the University of Trent, humorously stating, "When the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie, there's a cave there."

Menstrual Pads and Cups Solidify Blood

Scientists have invented menstrual pads and cups that solidify blood using a powder mixture. Until now, women had to line their underwear with cat litter (or so they joke).

Stinky Giant Planet With Rotten Egg Odor

A stinky giant planet where it rains glass also has a rotten egg odor. Due to its high temperatures, it’s referred to as "Hot Jupiter," which sounds like something a cowboy would say when he stubs his toe: "Hot Jupiter, that smarts! Rub some beans on it."

Massachusetts Man Gets Voice Back After Rare Larynx Transplant

After a rare larynx transplant, a Massachusetts man regained his voice, complete with a Boston accent. His first words to the surgeon were, "Ah, look at the doctor who thinks he's so fraking special."

Super-Fluffy Planet With Cotton Candy-Like Density

Researchers have discovered a super fluffy planet with a cotton candy-like density, made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Reached for comment, an inhabitant of this planet said, "Surrender, Earth!"

Until next time, this has been the Sound of Science. We’ll be right back with the star of Twisters, Glenn Powell!
