Hey there, everybody, it's Sam. In case you haven't heard, season 4 of SciShow Tangents

ended last week, and we're taking this week off. Next week, you can look forward to our season

5 premiere featuring special guest Maddie Sophia, but for now, please enjoy this beloved

classic episode about weather. See you next week.

Hello, and welcome to SciShow Tangents! It's the lightly competitive knowledge,

really bad, but I'm scared. It's just like now. I've done it. My guitar uses them and so like during

shows, you have to make sure the battery is charged and you can tell by looking at it. Is that

why you guys are so smart? Because we charge our brains with battery? Yeah, we're

battery lickers over here. What's your tagline? Exploring the idea of podcasting from bed.

I do sometimes podcast from bed for my podcast I have with my wife. And it is not unpleasant.

I will say that.

Sari Riley is also my other co-host for the day. Hello, Sari. Hello.

Do you have any idea why there is a large taxidermied squirrel in the parking lot of our office
