Hello bunch of brain buffs, embracing beefy brilliant bits, welcome to Good Job Brain,

your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast.

This is episode 257, and of course, I'm your humble host Karen, and we are your meteoric,

meat-cuting meatballs, meat-packing meters of meatloaf.

I'm Colin, and I'm Chris, so I have another installment of our Let's Correct Ourself segment,

which we know, which is known as um, actually. I'm actually, um, actually, what you said just

wasn't true, um, actually. Do you mind if I correct you? Because actually, factually,

and quite enthusiastically, I was right, and you were wrong. That's exactly what inspired me to

write this um, actually, song. You were wrong. I'm um, actually, being myself,

because self-report takes a real man. I was listening to our flat episode, and I had been reading

about the malleability of different types of metals, and I had been reading about titanium,

and like titanium jewelry, and I've been reading about tungsten jewelry, and I meant to,

I meant to talk about tungsten jewelry, but I said titanium instead. If you have a titanium ring,

and you hit it with a hammer, you are definitely not going to crack it. Obviously, it's made of titanium,

titanium, literally synonymous with a very, very strong metal. However, tungsten rings,

I'm like, oh, this tungsten ring is so cool, they accidentally wrap it on a table or something,

and it just cracks. Uh, titanium is not very malleable, but it's also not very brittle either,

but tungsten is very brittle and will crack under compressive stress. So I meant to say tungsten.

I remember there was an influx of men's tungsten jewelry. Yes, yes, because, because part of the

marketing is this is the strongest metal. It is very strong. It is very strong, but it's very

brittle. Part of the, the allure that it was weighty. Oh, so it says here, tungsten is sweetish

for heavy stone. Uh-huh. Chris, I have to thank you. Oh, you're welcome.
