Summary

It's elementary, my dear Watson! Find the hidden element name in Colin's quiz. Karen discovers her beloved childhood TV elementals have a strange and strong tie to Bruce Springsteen. There are 11 periodic elements whose symbols are not represented by their names. Chris finds out how and why that is, while sharing some bonkers facts about how some elements got their names. Relax the mind and play "Oh you mean...?" - the debut of Dana's very experimental homophone phrase game where we completely lost it! And it's our last Carmin San Mateo puzzle as we inch closer and closer. Good Job, Brain is part of the Airwave Media podcast network.

2:14.7	I'm sure you've done this where you hold them like a baby and you rock them. That's what that's
2:20.3	what is referred to as baby dog time. And if you haven't, definitely try it. Yes, please. They love it.
