Hello, and welcome to SciShow Tangents Backstage. I just named it that. I don't know if that's what we're calling it, but it is now. So how many times have you all heard SciShow Tangents? is created by all of us and produced by Just Sampbert. Our associate producer is Eve Schmidt. Our editor is Seth Glickman. Our sound design is by Joseph Tuna Meddish.

Our executive producers are Nicole Sweeney and Hank Green and thought, who even are those people? Well, here they are. And yes, we could not make any of this happen without you all, our patrons on Patreon. But here with us, we have our fearless producer, Jess Stemper. Hello! I am in fact your associate producer, Eve Schmidt, and we also have our incredible editor, Seth Gliksman. Hello. And our magnificent sound designer Joseph Tuna Mettish.

Hello. And our wonderful executive producer, Nicole Sweeney. Hello. And that's it. That's all the people that are here. There are a lot more people that go into the process of making the show. But these are the ones that you get to hear from today. This is the part where Hank asks everybody a question.

Yeah. You got to like think of a thing. thing that you just saw five minutes ago to turn it into a deep question. Just look around the room. Yeah. Check Twitter really fast. How do you feel about lamps? You guys,

you ever had anybody seen them? What's your favorite house plant? I got it. I love it. I am equally as hard to keep alive. And that's the only house plant I can manage is myself.

I have my most successful house plant venture. And by most successful, I mean the one that has lived. I got from Trader Joe's years and years ago, there was a little tiny planter that was in the shape of a llama and there was a succulent in the llama factor. And I was like, I have to have. the llama so i got the llama you're using past tense and it's it's it's starting to worry me i it's a happy ending there's a happy ending i got the llama plant and i have cared for and loved the llama plant for years and years and years to the point that the llama plant outgrew the tiny

llama planter and so now llama plant is in a proper like ceramic planter pot is it labeled llama plant? No. No, it should be. You got to track that. Yeah. It is, it is, but it will, it is llama plant for now and forever. Did the llama planter get a new life too or just the plant?

What happened to the llama? The planter has not received a new llama plant yet. I, I did try, so. So it's like an old horse that's in retirement and like they don't race it anymore. Let's hope not. Out to pasture. I did try. So Lama

plant lost a leaf and it was when i wasn't sure if it was the kind of succulent that you could like propagate and like grow a new one off of one of its old so i tried to do that but then it died and that was like so son of llama plant cannot go into a little llama plant plant i got a succulent as a gift a while ago and i put it out on my deck because it was like in a hanging basket and i put it right on the deck thinking i'll come back to that later and then when i came back to it Something had tipped it over. And now I've entered a state of, let's just see if it lives. Oh, yeah.

Let's just see if it makes it. Growing sideways. So far, it doesn't look like it. But who knows? You know, you've got to run the experiment. You got to run the experiment. There's a llama planter in the future of that plant, maybe. True scientific inquiry.

I know. I mostly stick with my most successful ones are spider plants. But I specifically hang them up so that they don't get tipped over because the cat thinks they're salads. Well, you know. Now it's just a sometimes treat where I lift her up and she gets excited. Like, oh, this is what the world looks like from up here and also salad. I can see so many salads from up here. And I'm like, this is the only one you can eat.

leave the rest of them alone because I don't know if those ones are poisonous, but I checked spider plant and that one's safe. I feel like I should be clear that the plant is outside. It's not a pile of dirt and plant inside of me. I feel like maybe I didn't make that. The response that I got,

like everybody was like, oh, he's just got a dead plant. I know. I tracked that it was outside. I don't know that that really makes it makes the pile of dirt. It fell into soil. It fell until like a bush Like it fell

Yeah I just assumed a cat from outside Had tipped it over Which is what made me think of the cat thing Yeah I've developed a deep relationship With a lot of the woodland creatures around My I have a bird feeder now

And it spills and all these different animals Come along And I just watch them from my door And I like it very much So the plant is really old news At this point honestly Yeah Sam makes fun of me

But like I've got a bird feeder out there And I ran a microphone out my window So that I could just like, you, a lot of times when we're listening, when we're making tangents, I'll see a bird out there. And I'm muted so nobody else can hear it. But I'm like, this is a sweet little treat for me. I have to listen to a bird and also a fact off. We should put bird noises as the background to all of our episodes.

But that's like a really important behind the scenes trivia already right there. Little do you know that while tangents is being reported, tuna is listening to bird noises. Yeah. And my plant is dying. All right. Well, speaking of behind the scenes, we're still doing this podcast. So introducing this week's topic, we have a traditional non-science poem this week from Seth.

Okay. I wrote this and it got a little schmaltzy. And I'm sorry about that. All right. If you want to make a podcast, you don't need a lot of stuff. You just get a microphone and a personality, and that's really enough. Having a friend there does make things more fun, though, but even Joe Rogan has friends, so just invite someone you know.

But your friend lives in Des Moines and uses a different mic? There's got to be someone somewhere who can get that audio right. Oh, and how do you record it? And what do you talk about? And what if you say something you should probably take out? And your audience? Who's your audience? Where can they be found?

Maybe if you just talk forever about anything, people just gather around. And who's getting you in the room every week? Who's making these plans? Where do you distribute the podcast? What will you do when TikTok gets banned? Are you posting every week? Are you posting every day? When do you record?

What do you mean your friends going away? Do you have a backup guest? Will there still be a new show? Will you record twice this week? You know, your numbers are a little low. And oh, God, now you have ads and you need to record those two. Didn't you think of all this? What did you think you were getting into?

Okay, so maybe you need a few things to make a podcast work. Let's just amend that list from before. If you want to make a podcast, this is what you're looking for. A team of talented people who want to make something great, with the skill and vision to actually care about what they create. That's beautiful. That's amazing. I wanted to do something funnier and more pop culture stuff,

And then I was like, I guess I just loved these guys. Yeah. That was great. That was so good. You brought the performance aspect, too. I really enjoyed that. We need to start hassling Sam and Sari and Hank to move her. Well, not Hank, but Sam and Sari can move around more.

Yeah, we need to leash him in. They need to step up their game. I want drama. I want intensity. Sam did do the clone. The clone, Sam. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was very good. Well, clone Sam did the clone Sam bit because now he's just cloned Sam. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Good point. Good point. Right. Yeah, it is, it's official.

In the show flows, it says, and our resident, every clone, Sam, Shops. That's been on top of it. That's good lore. Well, yes, as Seth has now introduced to us, the topic for this tiny behind the scenes podcast is the pure chaos that is podcast making. And as you've heard in our intro here, here and in every tangent's outro, we cannot make any of this possible without our patrons on

Patreon. So we wanted to make sure to answer a few of our patrons questions here with our panel of finely honed production minds. So the first question here is for Nicole. Emily Woodland asked how many hours of work go into producing each episode? Oh man. That is like a surprisingly difficult question to answer because there are so many there are like as you've mentioned at the top here this is who we have gathered we have you just the five of us are assembled for this today but this is actually not the entirety of who touches or interacts with tangents obviously we're missing you know our three hosts for starters so they're like the number of of like human hours that go into every episode is so many. Like, you know, there's, there is, it's almost half of Jess's job, uh, is, is working on Tanya. She's also the producer of kids. Uh, it's a sizable chunk of Eve's job. It's part of the tuna set. Um, again, our three hosts. I, I actually can't answer that question. This is what I'm trying to say. I don't actually have a clear answer to that question. Like, I can tell you

official like staff time percentages of how, like, what percentage of people's time we have allocated two tangents in the budget but like off the top of my head like how many individual man hours do I think goes into a tangents episode like 30

does that feel high low does that feel how does that feel true that feels true yeah that feels like it feels right yeah like vibes alone 30 hours

just like vibes alone yeah I don't well I don't know I don't I feel low actually I now that I'm thinking about it, it feels low. I think it's low. Because I think it depends, too, on, like, Sari and Sam and Deboki researching questions.

And some weeks, it's easy. Yeah, yeah. To be clear, I think that's 30 staff time hours. I am omitting Hank and Sari and Sam, actually, and Sam is staff, too, but the behind-the-scenes people, I'm estimating. On my end, it's tough to estimate because so much of my work is, like, just ongoing. Like, I'm not, I have individual tasks for individual.

episodes but then it's like the time I spend in a week working on tangents is really like I'm working on the show and it's yeah it's guests for stuff that's not happening for months or emails I don't know it's just as like it's so hard to think about it to like break it down into episode oh yeah yeah like producing especially like calculating stuff this is my job is a lot like budgeting staff time and and like staff time like producer staff time is such a pain to calculate because a lot of the job is just like you think about this like your job is to just like to a certain degree there's like there's many there's many individual tasks and an episode will obviously have a bunch of individual tasks for you but like so much of your job is just like being

aware of it and like thinking about it all the time and checking air table a dozen times in two hours to look at the same view for different information yeah yeah the longer we have this conversation, I'm confident that that is not actually an accurate number. It's probably closer to like 40 hours of staff time, and then there's like Hank Seri Sam time as a whole other, a whole other animal. Hank Sarisam and Deboki time too.

I feel like it's 30 hours if you asked a child to describe what 30 hours was like. Because like 30 hours to a child is like, wow, I'll be 99 by the end of 30 hours. Oh, I am also, just to be clear, when I'm talking about this, I'm also including, so some people, some staff who are not here, who I am like

including in the math, Buzz, who does all of the socials for tangents, like they have for all, Buzz does the socials for all of SciShow, but that includes tangents. So all of that kind of thing. Laser is our, he does Patreon, he does, he's our crowdfunding and like any, any cool crowdfunding stuff you've seen from Complexly in the last couple months, that was Laser. So there's a lot of people who put hands on this and who are all putting a strong shorted time, the number of hours is a completely made-up. How do you classify stuff? The taxa are fraught around staff time taxa.

So fraught. Yeah, I feel like I just have it super easy because I'm like three and a half hours an episode, like, because I'm there for the recording and then I do the mixing. And I'm like, yeah, this. Here's a hard number. Right. Yeah. But that's like after everybody else does all of their work.

Yeah, they talk, you know. They really do talk. Speaking of people who talk, let's move on to the next question. This one is for Jess. This is from Natalie Schreiber asked, what are episode ideas that you've had to scrap or topics that either you've come up with or the crews come up with that haven't happened because they're too specific or some other reason. Yeah, good question. have eight gazillion different ways that we can track what topics we've done. There's no like one centralized database because it really when we decide on a topic it really is just like

what are we curious about and what are what's like the right vibes. So when we scrap things it's usually because we've already done them or we've done something very very similar. And it's like because tangeless topics are really broad, there can be a lot of overlap. Um, one exception is we did the recently the episode on machine learning and we had done AI five years ago so that was the kind of thing where it's like it's been five years there's been a lot of advancements we have a guest expert like it's worth revisiting that but generally we try to avoid stuff that we've overlapped with like we did our episode on glue and it accidentally had a lot of overlap with sticky things from years ago and that's just it happens um stuff we've not done this because it's too specific I can't nothing leaps to mind. So we have a Discord chat that we toss around episode ideas in. I'll usually just like, hey, it's time for a new topic and I'll like send a bunch of ideas and most of them are wrong and bad. And then they will just discuss like what is the vibe? What are they curious about and interested in doing? Specificity is not usually the problem. Usually the problem is a topic will be too

general. Like there will be, there'll be too much to try and cover and or it will overlap with something we've done before. I feel like those go hand in hand because I know there's definitely been episodes where we were like, oh, should we do that? Because we covered a much broader version of this topic a while ago. And this is a specific thing. The other thing that's like tough is figuring out stuff, because Tangens covers a lot of not like hard sciencey things. Like we bring in history and definitions and etymology and social science a lot of times. And so trying to hone it around something that still feels like properly syshow, that can sometimes be tricky where we can be curious and interested in a topic, but then it's like, but it's not really like

a syshow fitting topic. So at that point, it's either like, how do we make it more syshow or we just have to do something that is, we have to like not do that topic. Sam and I keep talking about doing an aliens episode. It hasn't happened yet. We've done some stuff that's been kind of like on the fringe and like. Oh, yeah, getting there, getting there, yeah. Yeah, but like...

Cyborgs at one point, like... Yeah. So, the topics, they can happen, but... I liked, I think, like, a year or two years ago, you had the guy from Simpsons, from the Simpsons writer on, and it was during the Halloween, like, episodes, and, like, the other episodes were, like,

slime and blood, and, like, he wanted to do preserved foods. Yeah, yeah. that's the other thing is when we have a guest on we usually ask them to supply the topic and then sometimes there has to be some coaching

about like what makes sense for a topic I'm still obsessed with the fact that one of the craziest episodes we have ever done was just called bananas and it's like the whole episode was just bananas I thought about the episode itself being bananas I did

There were so many little squares for you to edit. Okay, great. We'll move on to the next question. Now, this one is Fortuna. Corey asked, do you as the behind-the-scenes crew ever think I would have crushed that episode? Or do you play along with the quiz portion of the show while it's happening? I don't do the playing along with the quiz part because I'm I'm keeping like score for everything and like pasting stuff into Eve's show flow. But yeah, I'm always thinking of like dumb little jokes that or like anytime we've done a episode about like sound or music, I'm like, I want in on this.

And I'm like, no, I can chill out. Usually I just type To at least one of them that I've been a part of There's some sort of sound one that we dragged you into Probably every once in a while I dip in Usually it's the bonus episodes where I get to say stuff But for the most part it's a lot of times what I'll do is we've got like a little chat thing in the corner And I'll type in my dumb joke in there

But I learned that I can't do that all the time because Hank will read it out And I'm like, oh, that's a lot more work for Seth because that has zero context. Hank just said a thing. It's so tempting. It's so tempting to put my own little joke in the chat, but I know that they're going to get distracted. Yeah,

that's the number one reason that I, like, have never asked to sit in on a tangent's reporting. This was like, I, like, even when I listen to, when I'm listening to the episodes after the fact, I am audibly reacting. Like, I, like, I was just like, those are my friends. You're just chatting.

And I also want to participate in this little conversation with my friends. So, like, I like, I can't, I have to have a, about like a degree of separation. There's been a couple of times where just because I have my video on that Hank will be like, ah, Eve thinks that's funny. See you guys. I know. I don't know.

Comment on the reactions in the room. It's like, no. You can't do that. Oh, yeah. One of the, I think the first video thing we ever did was Sishu P. And I'm muted during the recordings. So like, you know, I'm not interfering. We're not just cutting it out in post.

But when we did SciShowP, I think Hank just did a, oh, I did the screen recording. I forget how it worked. But like, it was just, I was just in there. And I was the laugh track for the whole episode. And it was like, what is this? Like, this is not. Like, I was into the episode. And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's a part where I would laugh, except I am laughing in the episode on YouTube.

And I'm like, I don't know about that. Maybe we should say that. P, not living up to tuna's standards. Well, no, it's living up to it too much. It's just like, I'm about to laugh in real life. And then I hear a laugh on the thing. And I'm like, well, I already laughed. What is going to laugh again?

How many times am I going to laugh at this joke? That's excessive. That's too much. Right. It feels so self-indulgent. SciShowP was the golden standard. All right. We have one more question here from our patrons.

This one is for Seth. Caleb Troy asked, what is the most memorable thing that you've had to edit out of an episode? I'm going to say memorable because it is what I am remembering right now, which is there is like a solid extra like 20 minutes of the answer in progress team discovering what plants do to reproduce. In real time, like learning that that is the way that plants reproduce. and they are baffled for 20 straight minutes.

Every new thing that, like, Stefan or Hank or Sari bring up, they are just like, what? I'm just like in the moment making notes during the episode. I was like, Seth, you're going to want to, I know he's going to want to cut to, like, individual speakers while, like, Sarah is giving the definition here. But you can't, you have to stay on the group shot because Sabrina was making these faces in total silence.

So it's like, we don't have something like audibly to cut. to, but her reaction is like, that's what's going on out there? This is what the plants are up to? I almost immediately erase the things that I have to edit out from my memory because I know that they need

to go. I do not. I try not to linger on them because otherwise I'm like, oh man, but maybe it's like good enough to keep. Maybe it is good. Maybe I should keep it in there. But it's, I typically make sure to get rid of everything that. You're deleting the file in your brain as well. Absolutely. Right to recycling bin and empty.

Yeah. Well, and it helps, too, that we've done enough episodes because that, like, especially as times have gone on, I'll listen to the episode as I'm mixing. And I'm like, huh, I wonder what Seth cut out of this, even though we recorded it, like, a week ago. Yeah. Not a clue. Yeah.

What ends up on YouTube is like, that's what happened. Yeah, as far as I know. This is one clean and or. organized conversation that they had. There's only been one time, at least since I've been in the recordings, where we've had to redirect Hank's top-of-the-brain question from the beginning of the episode. Such a flexible and wonderful crew that we have. Honestly.

This is a fun show. I mean, that's why I know that I work on it for three and a half hours every week is because it's my favorite three and a half hours. I really like tangents. it is so fun i get to yeah that's the tuesday evenings that we record are like what a wonderful way to end the workday just wrap everything up and sit back and watch this like super entertaining show play out in real time in front of me and i just get to sit and enjoy it's a delight unless there's the gauntlet in which case there's no sitting back nobody is chilling during the godlet the number of times i've been like no please go back and read the rules again

read them wrong and you're also playing it wrong and I love the gauntlet oh I love the godlet oh and I'm so bad I'm so bad at math that Eve has to constantly check like the scores that I'm keeping because I'm like okay I have to subtract seven and add five and like this train gets to Chicago and so great yeah and even though they supposedly reread the rules at the top of every time they play the gauntlet it something will get like condensed or skill or skimmed or what and it just it's different literally every time yeah and i think we complained to debauchy enough that she'll like try to massage the rules to make them make more sense yeah and then hank assumes that everyone already knows how to play he edits in real time to just pick it in order i love the gauntlet because what winds up happening is you get about like 10 minutes of game and then like 15 minutes of them trying to figure out how to to play the game. So I clean it up and it's just like, what's this answer?

And they're like, this. And it's like, no, okay, moving on. This is the true behind the scenes lore is that the gauntlet is actually terrible. I mean, I love it. It's just, oh, it's not the easiest thing we do on tangents. Yeah, it's more of the labyrinth than it is the gauntlet. Right, yeah, yeah. I think maybe part of the reason I like it is just because I got to make a really fun sound effect for it.

Which I still need to do for like a handful of other games that we actually kept on going with. But anytime I get to pitch Sam's voice down and make him sound all spooky, it's great. Sam did have a vision for that sound immediately because every time he'd introduce it, he would go, the gauntlet. And then you were like, okay, I'll just do that. Right. All right. Well, thank you, everybody, for taking the time out of your day to participate in this lovely behind-the-scenes chat.

And I'm very glad that we got to be here and be a little bit insane for the pleasure of our patrons who absolutely make this happen. Like we said, there's an unthinkable number of hours, and I don't even know how many people that actually touched this project at any given time. It's a lot. And it's all our favorite. And if you want to hear more from them, you just tell us. Just keep telling us right in other campaigns. particularly patrons if there's stuff you guys want us to do this really really truly the show would not exist without patrons cannot cannot overstate the how essential patrons are to the existence of the show yeah and I hope it's clear that like we all really really like working on it yeah we have so much fun doing this show and it's such a joy and a privilege to work on it and we want to keep doing it forever it's a great time so Please. Please, please. Let us keep doing it.

I developed a new appreciation of the minions because of this podcast, so. Incredible. You know. I don't know if that's a net good or not. I don't know. I did give Sam a giant pez dispenser of a minion. He never mentioned it. I don't know. I thought it came up, no? I think I ended up asking him about it. I never brought it up anywhere.

and I was like, ooh. I think he just thought somebody was stalking him. He was dropping up because I left it on his desk in his office with no concerts. And then it was like two weeks later I'm like, did you see that was there?

Or like just like I thought maybe it would bring it up to you as a curiosity? Yeah. I think I was expecting if I had done it to Hank, Hank would have brought it up. For the long time Hank was dealing

with those Cadbury eggs and he talked about those a lot. So if you want to send in minions pez dispensers. I don't know what our PO box is, but go for it. We'll put them right on Sam Schultz's desk. Yeah. Yeah.

And he will, no question. This is normal. Yeah. Of course there's a minions pen dispenser. I think this just means that Sam has some sort of magic desk that he's grown accustomed to that just spawns random items. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sam's like, oh, it's spawned again. Yeah.

Okay. These bond dress. Okay. Not really uncommon in the complexity office. That's true. to be honest. We got a lot of weird stuff. Things spawn often. Well, thank you so much, everybody, for being here. And thank you to all of our patrons yet again for supporting us and listening to this half an hour of pure chaos. I have been Eve Schmidt. I have been Jess Stembert. I've been Seth Gliksman. I've been Joseph Tuna Mattis. And I have been Nicole Sweeney.

And remember, the mind is not a vessel to be filled. What a fire to be lighted. But one more thing. In the 1940s, under the Sensorious Hays Code in North American film and audio production, fork sounds were wholly taboo in the mainstream. But, as with many artists in that era, that did nothing to dissuade two producers

at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, Sydney Brown and Jules Lipton. They produced what's come to be known as the Battle at Thunderblow or the great Canadian creptitation contest. Crepitation? I don't know.

A comedy record of a farting contest between the fictional lords boomer and Windesmere. Wow. From what I could dig up, corporation leadership wouldn't approve the record for wider distribution. So it circulated only as a spoof gift in the industry until

1943, when supposedly and this could just be a mythologizing anecdote, a Navy Admiral overheard it at a New Year's Eve party and decided to give bootleg copies to his sailors to boost morale. And from there, it was pirated and copied and became

an underground radio classic. And as of this recording, you can listen to it on YouTube. Though even now, the record is still essentially a bootleg as the copyright for it has not yet lapsed, and there are DMCA take down notices for it when you Google it. But it's currently on YouTube and it is priceless.

The takedown notices. I don't know why that's my favorite part of the story, but I think it's my favorite part of the story. Somebody has to go find those. Yeah. Somebody, the DMCA is after the fart record. They're preserving the integrity of their copyright on the fart record. Do you think when they do that,

Do you think when they find it, they just, they look at it for like a solid minute and a half and then are just like, what the hell are we to do? It's the thing that pops into their head when they're laying on their pillow at night. Yeah, they see their whole life flash before their eyes before they did copyright strike. Yeah. I think I've heard that and I just did not know the backstory to it. I really wanted to find the first, like, first. audio recording of a fart

I wanted to find out what that was and I couldn't I couldn't and then I was like I dug it was like well of course it's the Hayes Code of course it's the Hayes Code that nobody actually has this officially and then I discovered this and I was like well this may not be the first one but it's early enough and it's incredible

before the Hayes Code it was nothing but fart media for the seven for the seven years that sound in film existed before the we're going to capitalize on That's the real version of the haystoke. Somebody's like, I'm sick of all these farts.

They got to go. I wish I had known that because I would have, Sam and I spent so long, like, listening to different fart sounds for the but one more thing sound effect. Because we had to make the perfect one, and WNYC was already kind of like, I think they said they were into it, but it was one of those like... Were they prudish on the fart? No, I don't think so. they weren't as enthusiastic as we were.

I mean, yeah. We wanted to take a wetter direction than they did. Right. But if we had used that one, it's like, oh, history. You guys love that kind of thing, right? Yeah, you could have picked anyone. That would have been good. I know.

No, Tuna, it's a, it's a 20-minute long record. It's like both sides of a record. You would have had to pay $1.8 million dollars for a race. I just think what had an option. It's a whole contest. There were choices in there. All right. I mean, if the fart sound sounds subtly different in the future.

She's be honoring the spirit of the leg fart contest. I do cherish the unmatched enthusiasm that SciShow Tangens has for fart noises and butt facts. Like there's been points on SciShow where we're like throwing to SciShow Tangens. And it's like on an episode that's about a butt in some way. And we're like, hey, if you really like butt. Obviously, if we're talking about butts The place we got to direct It was tantrums

Yeah, yeah You get a butt fact every episode I mean, what a bargain You get a butt fact every episode.
