A New Zealand-based review site recently called Science Versus a scientific treat, but only if you can, quote, get over the nasal quality and unrelenting annoyingness of presenter Wendy Zuckerman's voice. While we at Gimlet Media are listening. This fall, Science Versus Season 5 will replace Zuckerman's stabbing shrieks with the mellifluous tones of me, Lars Tremblay. No longer will you have to endure this. What? Or this. Zuckerman's stabbing shrieks with the mellifluous tones of me, Lars Tremblay. No longer will you have to endure this.

What? Or this. Stupid ass juice diet. Or this. Hello. Hello. Hello. Oh, g'day, mate.

No! Science Versus Season 5 with me, Lars Tremblay, coming this fall. Oi, what's going on in here? Get out of there, mate. Oh, s***. Hey, it's me, Wendy Zuckerman, and yes, I am coming back next week with the team and a new season of Science Versus. And this season, oh boy, is it going to be a scientific treat.

We're diving into the world of plastics. I just thought, okay, this is it. This is literally the last straw. There is nowhere pristine. We're going into environments that have only just been created. And even in those environments, there could already be plastic. We're asking, are essential oils really essential? The amount of evidence that we've got at the moment is, I'm not, you know, it's not enough to go jumping off a cliff about. And Science Versus is going head-to-head with everyone's favourite diet. I f***ing hate vegans.

What if they were quietly vegan? Quietly vegan? What's a quiet vegan? How important was the fact that we ate meat in our evolutionary past? It was the key to success. Science Versus is back in one week. Tell your friends, tell your mum and subscribe. I'm Wendy Zuckerman. Back to you in a week.

Nobody's whipped off their pants and shown you their cervix in all this. I've never seen myself. Oh my gosh, we have to do this. You have a speculum?
