Really really refreshing to see a scientist saying things things like 'I don't know' and 'I haven't done the research'. And this is coming from a guy who studied chemistry and talked with scientists on the regular. You don't see it in the wild very often.

[overestimatedforesight]

You guys found a great PhD. A lot of academics have zero stage presence or are overconfident and think they are an expert in everything. Jim clearly knew his shit but was also cheerful and worked well with you guys. And of course your performances made this all better.

[justinbanks]

I love how he apologizes by saying 'not trying to science talk' with a smile on his face and clarifies he is just trying to be precise.

I have been told more than a handful of times that I'm being too precise or technical. But precision does matter at times. Lol


I love this episode, the rogues delving into heavy science.

Would definitely be interested in seeing your guest again. And or something in the same vein with a scientist in another field.

It's fun to see Brian and Jason freak out but it's hilarious when it's over radiation.

[ElCondorPasa]

Jim is such a fun guy. I’d watch a whole show of him teaching science

[gakulon]

One of the most interesting things about radiation from my perspective as a Geology enthusiast is how much the Earth is actually heated by the radioactive material inside of it. Radiation along with primordial heat left over from the formation of the planet are the most significant sources of heat inside of our planet.

This was a super fun episode! Jim didn't take himself too seriously, plenty of humor, 10/10 would watch more episodes with him

[ganeshh]

this was very interesting, no flashy youtuber guest, just a... scientist
he explains very clearly, knows his stuff and best of all got pissed off at your legend testers bit
you should get more real scientists on the show, they are always fun

and no, corey doesn't count as a scientist

[Drunk-Mosquitos]

There is a lot of fear and lack of understanding when it comes to radiation. Thank you for making a video that helps address the topic.

[WillMcc_WriterGoblin]

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I really hope Jason has super powers now

This is not necessarily the case if you get hit with ionizing radiation (since if you get unlucky it can and will smash both strands at once) but, the actual reason our DNA is double stranded, that it's a double helix like everyone knows, is that the strands are each other's mirror image. So if you have a bit of one strand and the other is smashed up by any kind of incoming damage, it can repair itself by using the other strand as a guide. (Not really "by itself", it still requires raw materials and a few proteins to do this.)

Brings back memories of a university physics prac which involved running around campus with a geiger counter. The three highest readings I got were from a flourescent light tube (switched on), a banana, and a toilet.

[mitchlund]

This was awesome. Great guest. I work as an X-ray technologist and was wondering where this was going to go. create mass hysteria or be informative. This was greatly informative people don't realize how much radiation and the sources where we get it from everyday. Wish he could put out more great general radiation information.

[jmr]

I'd like to see this guy back! He seems fun!

[aydenvis]

The named, special taco that gets sold out of the Radioactive Taco Truck should be called the "Generally Accepted as Safe".

[EchosTackyTiki]

The best part of this is that Brian has a piece of random old glassware that he can now use as a party trick.

Drink from the _actual, legitimate, scientifically proven _*_Radioactive Bowl_* and win four dollars!

[PhilieBlunt]

When the radiation scientist starts saying" now that's a really good question" you might wanna take heed 😆

[tylermhore]

Loved the video, great stuff. One thing: background music was a bit high. It was hard to always follow the dialogue. For whatever it's worth, lol. Thanks gentlemen, cheers

[scarecrowman]

I love everything about this video, Portishead mention, T&C Surf Reference, making the guest awkward during a thumbnail shot... Great start to the weekend.

[joeybootsify]

This was a great refresher to all the stuff I learned in school becoming a Radiological Technologist (I am the guy taking your X-rays when you do something dumb and get hurt)

excellent presentation. love the MR videos
