| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome back to another week of Sci Guys. Before we start this week's episode, |
| 0:05.3 | there are a few things that I'd like to get into. We had a competition running. Do you guys, do you guys remember that? We did have a competition running. It was to do with the adverts. We were in adverts all over the country. I didn't see one. I didn't see any. So the whole point in the competition was we sent you guys to go out around the country and see if you could find us on screens and quite a few people did we've got two winners uh we have |
| 0:25.5 | Stephanie and dip congratulations to you guys um if you yes well done yeah if you didn't win |
| 0:31.6 | don't worry we might be doing more competitions in future where you can win I want to be |
| 0:35.4 | back on an advert so we can go and see it. Because we didn't even see it real life. |
| 0:54.1 | And we planned to, and then we just couldn't. No, no, things fell through. But we had actually, loads of friends of mine sent things through because we were all over the country. I got a message other day from a friend of a friend who said, I was just driving into Manchester and I saw a giant advert with your face on it. It was for a podcast, and I was like, wow. |
| 0:56.7 | Isn't it cool that they recognized you from the drawing of you as well? Yeah. |
| 0:57.2 | We also have our first correction. Dun, dun, da, calling something wrong. I got something wrong. What have you got wrong? What have I got wrong? Okay, so this is Bryn Riley that sent this in. This is about the space squids episode. Space quiz episode. Also, two episodes ago. Two episodes ago. So Bryn says, also, symbiosis isn't always beneficial. It depends on the organisms, i.e. mutually beneficial symbiosis is what you were discussing, like sharks that let small fish clean their teeth. There are other symbiotic models. For example, cleptoparasidism. This would be like a tapeworm. animals animals are linked together, but only one benefits. This is really interesting to me because I think the general public will think a symbiotic relationship does actually mean one where both parties benefit. And you were in the kitchen when you got this and you were so mad at yourself. I was so mad at myself because you did know this. know this yeah so what i decided to simplify it just |
| 1:45.6 | for you guys for our stupid brains however i do have something to send back to brin because i am petty |
| 1:51.2 | uh you've said that kleptoparacistism is where one benefits and the other does and the other |
| 1:56.5 | is neutral that's actually commensalism paracism is when one benefits and the other one, |
| 2:03.4 | the other one doesn't. |
| 2:04.4 | I'm going to pretend that I understand. |
| 2:05.8 | So basically paracism, |
| 2:08.7 | I'm sure you understand it. |
| 2:10.0 | It's one organism benefits. |
| 2:11.6 | One organism benefits and the other one has a detriment. |
| 2:16.5 | Right. |
| 2:16.9 | Whereas commensalism. Yeah. Whereas commensal... Oh, wow. Like a baby. Uh, whereas commensalism. That's true. Commentalism is where one is just neutral and another organism benefits. So this is a really difficult one to, uh, to categorize. This is usually like just crocodiles with birds cleaning out their teeth. Because a crocodile can get on with, with meaty teeth, but the bird gets food. Corey looks so proud of himself, by the way. I just like you to know. Just that he got the opportunity to hit back. Actually, you're wrong to and mistakes are made. No, so if I do make a mistake, I will happily take it on. So if you do have a correction, you can send it into us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or anywhere at CyguisePod. The best place to send us corrections, however, is our email address, Cyguyspod at gmail.com. I will happily take them. Imagine if you said, if you do have an erection, you can send it in to Twitter. |
| 3:09.3 | That's what I thought you were going to fuck up and say. |
| 3:12.3 | Okay, now it's time to start the episode. |
| 3:19.3 | Hello and welcome to the Sci Guys, the show where we talk about the crazy, weird, and wonderful |
