Hello and welcome to Sci Guys, the show where we talk about the crazy, weird and wonderful stories from the science world.

I'm Corey, and as always, I'm joined by my co-host, the Lippid Luke Cutford.

Get me some wee govy.

This week we're talking about strategic scales and worryless weights.

But first, I've got a question for you, Luke.

Oh, God, you've always got questions for me, Corey.

When will you let me rest? Never. I'm like your child. I will never let you rest. How much do you weigh? Your answer must use no numbers. Oh, enough. But not too much. Just right. Just like Goldilocks's favorite bed. Bed? No. Porridge. I think they were all just right, weren't they? Crucially, they weren't all just right. I need to read that. Only one of them was just right. I wasn't paying attention. Of the porridge and I suppose of the bread. But like, you know, porridge came up. The bread? The bread. What, which version of? I mean, I know I wasn attention to the barge, and then she has some bread.

And the bread was just right. The bread was just right, of course.

Do you remember how people tried to make out that, like, the mummy bear having, like,

really cold porridge was because she made hers, and, like, had it sitting out there.

Yeah.

And then got the, the baby ones

just right for the baby and the dad's just like super hot the way he likes it. Um, and because she,

you know, she was thinking of them, that hers went cold. And it was like a whole sexism thing.

And you know me, I'm like super for the cause of sex, against the cause of sex. I am like a pro feminist. As the only parent in the room, I would like to... It took me a second to figure that out. I'm like, are you sure? Yeah, no, go on. Unless you've got one hiding behind the curtains. I'd like to add a little bit of context there. So the whole idea was like mummy bear is like feeding baby bear.

And so mummy bears thing gets cold.

Baby bears is just right because mummy's really good at dinner.

And daddy bears is really hot because he likes it and daddy doesn't feed the baby.

I would like to add as a parent now a little bit of context of this, which is actually that in my house, what happens is that

I eat really quickly, that's why mine's too hot, because I meet it immediately, so that I can

then do the feeding after I quickly wolf down my food. But you don't eat food the way a normal

person does. You don't enjoy food. No. No, you just, I've seen you eat it. It's like you don't, you don't like food the way a normal person does. I don't think you I like it in my tummy. Yeah, but when you say you, like when you say you dislike foods it's hard to tell because you eat them exactly the same way that you eat other foods. It's usually the texture. If it's, if it's slimy, then like get away from me if it's got, like, surprising bits, then no, thank you.
