Hello.

It's a patch.

Welcome to the patch.

This week, brought to you by Lute Crate, the cratest, luteest product out there.

We'll talk more about them later.

That's not their official tagline. I discovered moments ago that fake yawns work on Gus. So if you got a fake yawn in you, you want to try and see if you can just make him... Fake yons work on everybody. That's great. Let's see it. Um, oh, nothing. No, okay. No, no, I'm a professional. The lights, the lights are on the cameras going. Before the cameras were going, I was talking about how sleepy I was and you were fake yawning and it was fighting to prevent, to keep from yawning during the first shot of the podcast. How are yon is contagious? Uh, it's a, you know, survival instinct because, you know, no, I got nothing. I have no idea. It doesn't make any sense to me. I don't get it.

When someone yawns, it changes the air pressure for everyone else, and then that person has to yawn to equalize pressure, and then it's just like a cascading effect. See, tribe dynamics. You want everybody to sleep at the same time, so one yawn would infect the others. Wouldn't you want someone to stay up and keep watch, though?

No, see, commonly held misconception.

If everyone's asleep, the predators just don't notice you.

Welcome to Science by the Pack.

Yeah, we should, we should start a bad science podcast,

but we already have our Monday podcast, which I think fits the bill pretty closely.

You guys did some good work on that podcast.

Well, you know, people.

I sometimes sit over at my desk and go,

yeah.

People want to know the most entertaining answer,

not necessarily the most correct answer.

Right.

And that's what we're here for.

That's what we serve.

That's the, it's a, people take it for granted.
