Hey, it's Wendy Zuckerman from Gimlet Media's Science Versus, the show where we pit facts against dads, against fads. Have you missed us? We missed you. I think you've drained me. I feel as though I've had an enema. In this season, there's going to be excitement. It would have been the find of the century really wouldn't it

You sound very colonial don't you Oh dear And some gory moments People sucking the vaccine out like you would suck the venom out of a snake bite And spitting it out What? Yeah we're going to referee an academic punch up Frankly I am just absolutely astounded

At the degree Of vituperousness, vituperativeness. Vituperativeness? What exactly does that mean? And we're going to get to the bottom of why we still don't have the male pill. What's the coolest thing about sperm production? All right, well, without making the men feel tired, a normal man makes about 1,000 sperm a second. We've read the studies, we've done our homework, and now it's time for the facts.

There is no alternative. Science Versus will be back in your ears next week. Next week, September 7th. Tell your friends and subscribe. And you know who else is coming back? Three more Gimlet favourites. Heavyweight host Jonathan Goldstein turns on the charm. Hey, Carl, this is Jonathan Goldstein calling.

Hey, listen, Goldstein, you call this number one more time, I'm going to come over to your head. Oh, I'm... Oh come over to your head. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, hello. Okay. There's startup with stories about what it's really like to run a business. The night I bought porno.com for $42,000, the people that I was working with, they really thought I lost my mind. Every little thing with its amazing facts that everyone is excited to learn.
