Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California. This is The Brozky Report with your host, Brittany Brosky. Hey guys. Whoa! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah!

Get up, team. Happy... Ew, did you hear my fucking thrilled? Did you just hear that? Ew! Hey guys, what is going on? Happy Tuesday or whenever you listen to the Brookesky Report, because this is Power Hour with Britney Brookesky on the Brookesky Report.

Tonight at 10, experts claim lymphatic drainage is the key to a youthful glow. We have an expert here, Dr. Brozky, tonight to teach us a bit about it. More at 10, someone was accepted into Shiz University. But our nepotism claims at hand. More to come tonight. Okay, guys, two things to talk about today. Three, actually, four, five. Number one, yes, I'll dispel the rumors.

Is dispel what I think it means? Dispel definition. Make a doubt disappear. I am so smart. Because, you know, you've got to pull these words out of the recesses of your mind. And I'm reading a book right now called Red Rising, which I think I've talked about before. There's fucking 100 books in this series.

Like, I'm just trying to be done with it. And it keeps getting crazier. I'm like, at the end of book three, I was like, and where the hell is he going to take this? And somehow, I don't know, like 18 wars later. It's like Star Wars, but a bit more crass and a bit more classist and a bit more kind of like commentating on society. Because if you think about it, it's just like society,

but worse in the future. I've talked about this a little bit where red rising goes into What does the galaxy look like post-American Empire? Okay, because as we know, all empires rise and fall. I've spoken about this. Add nauseam. Add that to your Latin phrase collection, ad nauseum. I've spoken about this before and how what an interesting concept

because, yeah, one could claim that the American Empire is something to behold and it's not good. no empire ever is. So, I mean, it's not in this, like, historical, um, academic version of an empire. You know what I mean? But, like, the American ideology and the American entertainment industry and, I mean, the way that we meddle in foreign affairs, it is this sort of, like, global power slash, you know, but we're a falling global power, which a lot of the older generations will not admit. that we're losers. We are freaking embarrassing internationally.

We're a joke. People make fun of Americans. Like, it's not this American exceptionalism thing. It's like, it's so cringy. When I go overseas, I'm embarrassed to be American. Amy of them. Okay. Moving right along.

What the fuck was I giving to talk about? Oh, Red Rising. I will say something about his writing is the first two books. I was like, this feels like it was written by a teen. teenager. It feels like it was written really short and staccato and like, this is this and that is that. And I am this. And it's like this. And I was like, okay, I guess I get tonally what he's going for, but it was kind of, I don't know, it felt not thought out all the way. And now I'm five books deep. And I'm like, this shit is, how could he not have thought this out all the way? Or I don't,

I don't know what his writing style is of you start writing, you know, a character or a concept. And you just see where your brain takes you. And it's sort of a challenge of when you hit a wall, how do you go around the wall? How do you build over the wall? How do you make the wall disappear? And you know what I mean? Like there's the story is very inventive and it's very, I never know what these characters are going to do next.

But that makes a great story. You know, that these characters have so much depth. And like any good character, they are not just one single, like one dimensional characters. they have their faults and sometimes they're inconsolably awful. Sometimes they are, you know, deeply flawed that makes it hard to root for them. But you see the heart of them and you see, okay, well, I understand why he did that, but he shouldn't have done that. But then you zoom out and it's like, well, he didn't have another option. It's so good.

It's so good. And it really is akin to the way that you fall in love with some of the Game of Thrones characters where it's like even through their flaws or, even in their evil doings, when they're unabashedly evil, I still like the character, because what an interesting character. You know what I mean? Amund is one of them. I'm wearing my Amon Targaryen shirt.

Amid is a great example of like, he is unashamedly evil. But he does it under this guise of like, if I am king, then that's the best for the realm. You know, I will lead this kingdom back into glory sort of thing, even though he is so ill-equipped. and wanting to be king means you're not the right choice. Do you know what I mean? Like the fact that you want power means you should be absolutely

as far away from power as we can possibly keep you because that is the testament of a true leader is, I don't know what I'm talking about, is the ability to remove yourself from the position of power from the office you hold or the throne you may hold

and be able to look at it as a citizen of your realm. You know, what is the best for them because at the end of the day, it's not about us, the royal family, and it's not about how we can pat our pockets. It's about the good of the people and about the prosperity and the posterity of this realm. Do you know what I mean? Guys, are you rocking with me on that? Let's keep going. All that to say, I was accepted into shiz. Because I complained. And complaining will get you so far in life, you know? Or it won't get you anywhere. It really depends how you

complain and the method in which you complain. Actually, I wasn't done talking about Red Rising. In Red Rising, the later books, because I was comparing the early way that he wrote the books to later in the series, where he uses, it's almost annoying sometimes trying to prove that he knows big words, you know, it's like synonym.com, except I will give this to the author. The sentences are so beautifully constructed, and he is a master of a monologue. These characters will monologue for hours. And it's good! It's so good! I'm riled up.

I'm like sitting on the couch reading under my little reading lamp, and I'm like, God damn, let's go to war! It's gonna go to war! I will fight for my planet! If I was from Mars, bitch, I'd be so annoying about that shit. If I truly was for Mars, I'd be like, full Martians! Because, the way, okay, listen, guys,

Let me just sort of explain this lore, because even if you don't care, you're about to. There is the inner, the inner core, okay, which is Mercury, sorry, yes, Mercury and Venus. There is the core, which is Earth and Luna, which is the moon, and Mars. And then there's the outer rim, which is Saturn and... My very educated mother.

You all remember that? What is the word for that? Mononym, pseudonym, anumenum. What's it called when you have something to memorize something else? Word for omonym. Omonym. Seminominum. Feminine omin.

Word for memorizing. Word memorization techniques. Numenics. Memonics. Mnumominics. Numenics. Famous Numenics.

And why the fuck is it spelled like that? M-N-E-M-O-N-I-C-S. That's about to piss me the fuck off. How am I going to remember that? And that's literally the word for remembering shit. Oh, that's going to... M-Nomonics. It's not even numonics.

It's neemonics. Oh, that... I hate that. Roy G. Biv. Pim-Dos. My very educated mother, served us. Okay, now see, they fucking changed this bullshit because they, they are rewriting history in front of us, sheeple. Wake up, sheeple! They said Pluto's not a planet. They rewrote history. My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas. That is the mnemonic. And they sat here and changed it entirely. My very educated mother just served us noodles. Are you out of your

your gob? Are you out your gob? S-B-S-W-B-S-T a mnemonic for writing a summary. Somebody wanted but so then. Interesting. The fat cat lives in the addict, a mnemonic for fat-soluble vitamins,

A, D, and K. I don't even think about it. Y'all probably got them in the medical community because how the hell are y'all memorizing all that shit? Imagine your doctor's over your hospital bed, like, okay, de fat cat. lives in the attic. A, vitamins, A, D, E, K. Okay, you've got lymphoma.

Like, what the fuck? Leo says, gur, a pneumonic for the relation between oxidation and reduction. Loss of electron. Okay, now, here's another joke. The people at Sherinople, as that shit was melting down, like, okay, Leo says gur, a mnemonic for the relation between oxidation. Yeah, the core melted. Yeah, we're going to die. skin's about to flay off your fucking bones like a chicken. Okay, here we go. Pim Doss. Of course we know Pim Doss, but I didn't please excuse my dear Aunt Sally. I just knew it as Pimdoss, which is parentheses. I'm not going to look. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. But did you all know in the UK, they do it different? What is Pim Doss

in the UK? Baudmas! Fuck! You, dude. Y'all love, y'all love to be difficult for no reason. Bodmus? Oh, it's about to piss me off. I'm actually irrationally mad at that. Bodmiss?

It's the same fucking concept. It is the same, oh, I'm actually about to see. Seve alert. There is no difference between them. The order of operations for brackets, orders, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It's the same for both rules,

but they say brackets and orders. I would never know what an order is. You're talking about exponents. You're talking about something to the nth degree, to the xth degree, and you're calling that an order? Pimdos term is used mainly in the U.S., but in India in the UK, colonialism,

we call it Bodmus. What the fuck? Bodmiss Khan Academy. I have got to watch someone. How do they use order? See, look, he says exponents here. So you bitches are smoking meth. I am very sorry to report that I just tried to Khan Academy.

Who the fuck remember is Khan Academy? I just tried to Khan Academy a smart board of someone doing a bodmiss equation. And unfortunately, this young gentleman is speaking a language. I just do not understand. And he's switching between English and this language. I do not speak. And that's okay. It's just a lost cause, though.

Orders. English. British. British maths. Operations. Abartians. Why do they call it up? Whatever, dude.

Okay, any British people in the comments, can you explain to me what orders means? Because why don't you just say exponents? Because that's what it is. Like when you look up that, it comes up as exponents. So I find it difficult to believe that y'all are in the classroom talking about, and then to something older. That's stupid. It's exponents.

Okay? Hey, y'all. And who's that comedian who was just on S&L who did this script, who did this whole line of jokes about like, and it's like the founding fathers and the 1700s and he plays the main guy where he's like, and we will have a temperature system that is completely different from the other side, the other... My brain just shut off. My brain just stopped.

Just stopped loading. It's got the little loading circle. Hello. Oh, I wanted to talk about ASMR. I've got a lot to talk about. Let me get you this fucking... He says, and we will have a temperature scale

that only we use and no one will understand it. And then he said, we're going to come up with a number for the number 12 and that will be a dozen and some Bowen Yang says well are there any other numbers

that have a different word for it? And he goes, no. That's funny. Okay, this whole podcast is just let's watch SNL together. Let's watch SNL because sometimes SNL is back but other times, complete miss.

Complete, more often than not complete miss. Okay, but sometimes there's some bangers. That skit made me laugh. Made me laugh real, real hard. Okay? Who is that comedian? I really, I like him. Unless he's problematic, then I don't.

You know what I mean? Like, that goes without saying. Unless he's problematic that I didn't know about, and then I don't like him. So don't fucking do that. Okay? Who just hosted SNL? Nate. Nate Bargatsy.

This guy. Yeah, he's got my eyes. He's got some real scary-looking eyes. They kind of just bowl. They bulge everywhere, just like me. Yeah, we might be related, actually, the more I look at him. Yeah, he's got those scary bug eyes. I know my kin, I know my kin when I see him.

Is he English? Nate Bartwood, that's an interesting last name. Let's see what's going on there. He is from Nashville, Tennessee. Does he have a Wikipedia? Boom. His father, his father is a motivational speaker and magician. Sorry.

What? Hey, what? His father is a motivational speaker and magician. Huh? Yay! He started his stand-up career in Chicago, like most of them do. I want to see what his last name is. I guess we won't know.

Damn it. All right. I really need to subscribe to Ancestry.com. I feel like a lot of my questioning on this podcast, my line of questioning really delves into Edom It comes in, it dives into, um, last names and family origins and, um, always circles back to colonialism somehow because you cannot talk about things like in a realistic way. I feel like, especially when it comes to culture and countries and names and things like

that without bringing that up because everything has been touched in some way by colonialism, which is a crazy thing to think about truly. Like even just then, talking about Pimdos and Bodmas. Like, it's the UK and India. Because of course. Because they owned India until like about 15 seconds ago. Shit is crazy to me, dude. Okay.

Um, let's go back. I just want to go back. Hit me baby one more time. Wanna go back, want to go. Okay. Um, what the fuck was I? famous pneumonics, pneumonics, pneumonics. Oh, my very educated mother served us nine pizzas.

Again, recognize when the government is lying to you. Recognize propaganda as it's being fed. Right? Right, guys? Because Pluto, I don't know why it's not a planet. And I got so, I was so like, what? I find myself doing that a lot sometimes when news comes out or like, scientific ruling says. And I'm like, what?

And then I scroll. Because it's too, I don't know if y'all do this. too. It's not even about stupid shit like that. It's about anything. Like, I go on TikTok to giggle. I go on other, I find other mediums media to consume my news through. I don't want to consume news through TikTok or Twitter. Like that, it just, I'm not doing it. And so when it comes up on TikTok, I get so overwhelmed. I just scroll by it. It's like, why is no one talking about? Scroll. I don't, I am so fucking tired of you, bitches. Like, I'm serious. Why is no one? And like, I'm, you cannot speak about this without including yourself in the narrative of like,

people go on TikTok to spread misinformation. I'm guilty of it. A lot of my friends are guilty of it. You're probably guilty of it because we don't fact check. We just see shit and we repost it. Or we see shit and we're like, that's fucked up. I'm angry. And then I'm commenting and then I'm liking and then I'm, oh, turns out it was all a lie.

You know what I mean? Like it's so, and then that shit lives on the internet forever. It lives forever. And it's just scary. It's just scary, to be completely honest. So it's like, when I see that shit pop up on TikTok, like, scientists have discovered a know. This is what I've got to say about.

Girl, I'd like to read that from NASA's website, not from some idiot on TikTok. Like, this is what the picture of the stars is saying about you. Why isn't Pluto a planet? According to the IAU, which what is that? Pluto is technically a dwarf planet because it has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects. What does that mean? This means, oh, that Pluto still has lots of asteroids and other space rocks along its flight path.

Rather than having absorbed them over time like the larger planets have done. Okay, so because she's not keeping up with everyone else, you're going to cut her out of the race? Is that really how it works? even though she's been there for fucking hundreds and thousands of hundred million years and because she's not absorbed because she's not eating as many hot dogs in the hot dog competition you're going to cut her that's really wait that's actually fucked up because she's not absorbing as much as the others she's still there and she's still a massive massive unit what are five reasons Pluto is not a planet oh oh let's go on

this website, science. How StuffWorks.com. Lock me into that. The downgrading of Pluto from planet to dwarf planet. Here's number one. It had to orbit a star. What? Does it not? Does Pluto not orbit the sun? Yes, Pluto is still orbiting the sun. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, which is an... I'm really actually trying to understand this. Like, sorry if I go nonverbal for a second. I have to get this. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, which is an object that orbits the sun and is large enough to be nearly round, but hasn't cleared its orbit of debris. I don't know. Why does that matter? It had to be massive enough to assume a round shape due to its own gravity. It had to have cleared its neighborhood, implying that it needed to be the gravitationally dominant object

in its orbit. That makes sense. So it's getting bullied by little baby asteroid. Damn. The cuck planet. Osre Pluto's the cuck planet. I cannot believe NASA cucked Pluto. They put them in the cuck chair. No. Her.

Since its discovery in 1930. What? We didn't know that bitch was out there until 1930? When was the Hubble telescope invented? 1990! The Hubble Space Telescope was launched on April 24th, 1990. aboard Space Shuttle Discovery's STS-31 mission. Here we go, the Hubble Space Telescope.

Where is the Hubble Space Telescope? This is just me Googling. Where is the Hubble? Have you all ever been to see it? It's actually in space. Okay, so if you've been to see the Hubble Space Telescope, let's talk after it, because what are you doing up in space? The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth.

Am I stupid? Me like, I wonder if it's in Houston. That's what other space center. It orbits Earth at an altitude altitude of about 320 miles above the surface. It orbits at a speed of 17,000 miles per hour and completes one orbit every 95 minutes. Damn, they still got that bitch working. Hubble's low Earth orbit also kept it within a safe and accessible range for astronauts who use the space shuttle to visit the telescope repeatedly over the years to repair and upgrade its components.

Hubble's currently located 326 miles above Earth's surface. And now here's a secondary question, because I could keep talking about this for genuinely four more hours, if you guys would want me to. And we will. My next question is, if there was a nuclear explosion, if there was an atom bomb, okay, if there was a mushroom cloud, how high up does that go into the atmosphere to where would the Hubble telescope be affected by that? Or would any astronauts up there on the space station be able to, obviously they could see it if it happened within a visible range?

But at the same time, would they feel the effects? Or does the ozone layer of Earth keep that contained? Or does it go out into space? And what the fuck does that do if atomic bombs and nuclear reactions are going out into space? Okay. Let's consult the Oracle, Google. This podcast needs to be sponsored by Google. I would be at a loss without this God-blessed website would, and I don't know even who to ask this about.

Maybe I should call my dad, because he was a pilot. Like, he understands this, though. Hello. Hello, father. I am currently recording the podcast, and I have a question for you if you're available. I am available. All right. Here's what's going on.

I'm talking about. Hubble telescope, okay? And I've got a question because you obviously have spent an excessive amount of time in the air. You probably know some things about the atmosphere and how it works. The telescope is on a, it's on the space station, about 300 miles above Earth's surface. My question is if there was a mushroom cloud, if there was an atomic bomb, if there was like a nuclear explosion, how far up do those usually? go and could you see it from the telescope? And would something like that affect the technology of the telescope? Well, that's several questions. I would say that as far as a blast range,

it would not be affected by it because most of that would be trapped within the atmosphere. And it does orbit far above the earth. It's primarily focused towards a cosmos. though it's not really being used to look back at Earth. Yeah. So I don't believe that we would use something like that to monitor what was going on on the surface of the Earth. But there are other resources that do that. From a radiation standpoint,

that's about the only thing that would penetrate the atmosphere that might be able to affect the satellite, you know, that, that supports the Hubble space or the Hubble telescope. But I don't believe that that would be any worse than the radiation exposure it gets in space directly from, say, the sun. That's a good point, because I guess it's way closer to the sun than we've ever experienced as, like just humans. Well, that's one of the big concerns is once you get beyond a certain distance from the Earth, the exposure to radiation increases dramatically because you don't have the protection of our atmosphere. So, you know, when we look at space travel to the moon or space travel to Mars, that's one of the things that they're looking at,

how do we reduce the prolonged exposure to different forms of radiation in that environment as far as protecting humans? Is there a protective, like, material or coding on all that technology that's orbiting or that's on Mars currently that, like, obviously a human body, that's a different thing. But for the Mars rover and things like that, do you know what that technology is? So there are materials that are used in order to reduce radiation exposure, but I honestly don't know. You know, what the difference in exposure is between, say, the Mars. atmosphere and earths. You know, I think that moisture would play a big part in that and the fact that Mars is so is barren of moisture, at least in a liquid form.

It may be frozen beneath the service, but, you know, there's not, there's not rainstorms on Mars. So I think that would contribute to a better protection from radiation. But, yeah, I mean, we're kind of going into any. area that's really beyond my knowledge. Well, that was my question. Thank you so much. All right. Oh, hopefully I was helpful. You were very helpful. I would advise the other, plenty more smarter people than me on those subjects to query. Well, unfortunately, they did not raise me and I do not have their phone numbers. So we were the closest call. All right. Well, I did the

best I could. You did great. Thank you so much, Dr. Tomlinson. All right. Good luck. Thank you. Love you. I love you too. Bye-bye. Okay, now that's tea, right? That is tea. Because I never even considered the fact that the sun has radiation because, and we'll also, maybe I should have asked him this, is the radiation from the sun the same, and I'm going to ask this without trying to sound stupid, okay?

Not is it the same harmfulness of like atomic radiation, nuclear radiation? but is it a different type, right? Because one is like chemical, like artificial chemical. And then the sun is obviously, but both will burn you. Actually, what the fuck? I love this stuff. Is the radiation from the sun the same radiation from a nuclear reaction? What's the difference between the sun's radiation and radiation from a nuclear power plant?

Let's fucking go, bitch. Cora.com. These bitches on Cora are in my brain. They're thinking what I'm thinking. And there's no one online doing it like the people on Cora. So let's see what's going on. This is from a bot assistant. So we don't know how good this is.

But we'll go see other people's responses under this thread. What is the difference between the sun's radiation and radiation from a nuclear power plant? The radiation from the sun and radiation from a nuclear power plant are fundamentally different in their sources, types, and effects. Here's a breakdown of the differences. The sun emits radiation as a result of nuclear fusion processes occurring in its core, where hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, okay, which is a visible light. Sometimes. In a nuclear power plant, wait, I'm so excited. In a nuclear power plant, radiation is produced through the process of nuclear fission.

Which is the one where they were like, that's not possible? That one. Fission is something that they were like, scientists were coming in their genes when they figured it out. Were heavy atomic nuclei like uranium 235 or plutonium 239 split into smaller nuclei, releasing energy and various types of radiation, including alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, Dr. Bruce Banner. Okay, so everyone knows story Dr. Bruce Banner, it's because he swallowed

a plutonium bomb. Types of radiation. The sun's radiation primarily consists of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, UV radiation, which can cause sunburn and skin damage.

Oh! Oh! Oh! An infrared radiation which is heat that we feel as warm. Oh, oh, oh my God. Science is amazing. Oh, God, the sun is so cool. The light we can see, the invisible light that can cause sunburn and skin damage, and heat radiation that we feel as warmth.

All of that is considered the sun's radiation. Well, duh, I mean, when you think about that, like, yeah, that's very simple. But I'm thinking, when I hear radiation, I think, like, glowing neon green, you know, skulls, and crossbones do not enter here bioweapon thing. I've never thought of it like, yeah, of course the sun radiates both helpful and harmful chemicals and reactions. Duh. Oh, and here we go. A nuclear power plant radiation, because we talked about the different particles, the gamma ray, Bruce Banner, includes several types of particles and electromagnetic radiation. Alpha particles, which are heavy, positively charged particles that can be stopped by paper or skin, beta particles,

which are lighter, negatively charged particles that can penetrate paper but are stopped by plastic or glass, and then gamma rays, which are high-energy electromagnetic radiation that can penetrate most materials and require dense substances like lead for shielding. That's nuts, dude. This is blowing my freaking mind. Okay, regulation and safety There are no regulations on sunlight exposure Fucking duh

But public health guidelines recommend protection from excessive UV exposure Now, nuclear power plant radiation strict regulations govern the operation of nuclear power plants Because it's man-made Me trying to tax the sun Okay, you sun burnt me too many times

But you're gonna have to pay up I'm sending the invoice to your billing address And if you don't pay in the next 30 days I'm sending it to collections You've been warned It's the sun. To protect workers in the public from radiation exposure, this includes monitoring radiation levels, which is, what is it called, Ronkin? It's a great word.

How do you measure radiation? Rodkin? Okay, now this, you start to lose me here. Do you know what I mean? You start to kind of lose me. the device used for measurement is often the familiar geiger counter, which is it makes that really nice ASMR crackly noise when it's like bad, very like inaccurate, not even funny sort of recreation of it. But in my head, I know what it sounds like, and that was my attempt to trying to recreate it. So stick with me, guys. It makes that good crackling noise when you're like really,

and then it goes crazy when it's like, the wall of nuclear reactors behind here. You know what I'm talking about? if you put a Geiger counter over a gram of substance and count three clicks per second, the radioactivity of that substance would be three bech-bechural. Did you all know how before the clock was invented? How people would measure heart rate? Or no.

Hello? Hello? Hold on. What am I thinking of? What am I trying to say? I'm trying to say that people used to measure things by heartbeat. when they didn't have like the clear and accurate ticking of a second hand on a clock. That took me so long to say.

Before we had, you know, like a mechanical clock that could keep time, doctors and scientists would use a heartbeat to measure things. And I don't think I just made that up. Did doctors used to drink urine? What? Did doctors used to taste urine? doctors used to drink urine. Do doctors used to prescribe cigarettes? Recommend cigarettes. Recommend smoking. Right. Prescriptions in Latin. Smoke in hospitals. Spank newborns promote smoking. Right prescriptions

in Latin is crazy. Oh my God. RX is an abbreviation for the Latin word recipe, but today it means prescription. Years ago, many pharmacy terms and abbreviations came from Latin because the first medical texts were written in that language. The more you know, guys! RX symbol comes from the Latin word recipe, which means take. It was often placed at the beginning of a prescription. How funny is that? The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges recommends using plain English instead of complex medical jargon.

Thanks for that, guys. Here we go. God damn, this took me so long. Yes, historically people, particularly ancient physicians, used to measure time by feeling a person's pulse, essentially counting heartbeats. As accurate clocks were not readily available, this practice was especially common in ancient Greek and Egyptian medicine, with physicians like Herophilus of Alexandria being credited with early pulse measurements using water clocks to time the beats. Okay, so I was kind of off the mark in terms of timing, because I was thinking more like 14, 1500s. This is going to be actually more, you know, BC.

So, okay, what have I been talking about? Oh, the Geiger counter. What, Ronkin, Rodkin. How do we measure radiation? The unit and what's considered high. Ronn, Rongan. Yes. Okay, here we fucking go, dude.

Here we fucking go. I love Quora. I love Quora. I want to have some random person from Quora come on the podcast, and I just want to ask them anything. I want to ask the most qualified person who's answered the most Quora questions accurately, who has been peer reviewed and has been upvoted and has been fact-checked. I would like to have whoever that person is right here next to me on this podcast, and I would like to talk to them, okay?

Here is Vic Gardner. Here's the question, okay? Here's the question. How do we measure radiation, like the unit, what's considered normal and what's considered high? This is Vic Gardner, former nuclear reactor operator at the United States Navy from 1960. 66 to 73, and he was upvoted by Jeffrey Greyer, who is a PhD in physics in Birmingham, UK. Graduated 1968, okay?

So we've got some old geysers who know their shit about older nuclear things, okay? Because I'm sure this has changed. I will explain how ionizing radiation is measured using the units rontgen, rad, and rim, with which I am familiar. You can convert to SI units if you wish. Don't know what that is. Units of Rundgen are, am I saying that right? Oh, because he was a German engineer and physicist, of course. Rintgen.

Okay. Go back. A Rintgen is a unit of ionizing radiation, the amount producing one electrostatic unit of positive or negative ionic charge in one of a cubic. Don't care. Don't understand. But the Ringen was developed early in the history of radiation exposure. In 1928 by the International Congress of Radiology,

As the science of radiation dosymmetry developed, it was realized that the ionizing effect, and hence tissue damage, was linked to the energy absorbed, not just radiation exposure according to beam intensity and time of exposure. Thus, the rad, the unit of absorbed dose. So these are two separate things we're talking about, how much energy is being put out from the source, and then how much is being absorbed. by whatever or whoever. Rad is the unit of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation, defined in 1962 by the International Commission of Radiological Units and Measurements as equal to the amount of radiation that releases an energy of 100 ergs per gram of matter. What?

It was also realized that it is the density of ionizations which represent the potential for harm to human tissue. A term sometimes said to stand for Rundgen equivalent man. The REM was redefined in 1962 to clarify the usage of the term relative biological effectiveness. This is so interesting. Do y'all care? According to Erwin Schrodinger, is that Schrodinger's cat? Is that the owner of Schrodinger's cat?

In what is life, there is a threshold for the number of ionizing events which must occur simultaneously to an area of DNA in order to cause a mutation. And mutation cannot be the result of chronic accumulation or low-level doses. Of low-level doses. So it has to be one really intense, scary bout of exposure to radiation that's going to mutate something. Damn, he really went in on this. Okay. Well, I guess that answered my question.

Rintgen. Rinkin. But that is, I don't, do we measure the sun in Rinkin? You guys are sticking with me for this. And if you click off, I'll know. I'll know. And I'm coming to your house with a weapon, with a squad of goonies.

And we're going to beat you up. We're going to release radiation so intense and so lime green that you guys are going to be glowing for the next 50 years. Okay, I will come to your house and I will set off a nuclear reaction. I'm going to have a fission so intense, threatening my followers of nuclear radiation. I'm going to fizz nucleus's nuclei, if you will. I'm going to fizz atoms in a way that will be detrimental to you and your bodily well-being,

if you click off this video. Is sun radiation measured in? Rintgen. Solar radiation and radon, which occurs in varying concentrations around the world, are the most common sources. Radiation dose is typically measured in millie sverts. MSV. Other dose measurements in unit... What? Other dose measurement units include RAD, RIM, Rintgens, Sivert, and Gray. No, sun radiation is not measured in Rinkins. The standard unit for measuring solar radiation is watts per square meter.

as it represents the energy intensity of the sunlight reaching a specific area, while a rinkin is a unit used to measure the exposure to ionizing radiation like x-rays and gamma rays, which is not directly applicable to the broad spectrum of solar radiation. A perfect answer. Like, wow, Google, that is the perfect answer I was looking for. Thank you. Guys, seriously, take your hands off the wheel and start clapping for Google. Guys, this was really, really, that was a great answer.

truly. It gave me, it said no, and it gave me the correct answer, and it clarified the difference. Because I've noticed, and this is, again, where are my academics at? Where are my academic girls? In college and in high school, I was always very, like, I was one of the only people asking questions in the class. I would raise, like, almost annoying, because you can't just give me a piece of information and then just expect me to be like, okay, that's that. You know, because what if that piece of information eclipses another piece of information that is kind of the same but a little different. Like, I want to know the difference. And it'll help me understand it better so I don't confuse the two and that I know there's a stark difference. And so I would ask questions. I'd be like, well, what's the difference between

this and this? Or in language, why can't I use this? But like, this works. You know what I mean? And I would hope that the professors appreciated a student being involved. But at the same time, I started to get a little self-conscious about it because I can't move on with the lesson until I understand this. Or like, it's going to be a big question mark by it forever. And then I'm going to forget the line of questioning and then I'm just not going to understand it. And I'm going to get frustrated at myself and I'm going to give up. So I have to ask a question. And this shit, like learning like this is very frustrating for me because I have to understand it concretely. And I don't. And it's very, very annoying. It's very frustrating for me. So thank you, AI overview search labs on

Google? No, sun radiation is not measured in rinkgins. Thank fuck. Someone had the, someone had the wherewithal and the bravery to say that to me. How the hell did we start talking about this? Oh, how they cucked Pluto. That's what I was talking about. No, Pluto. The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at an altitude of about 320 miles above the surface. This is what we were talking about. Is this telescope? Okay, go back. When was it launched? Oh, we were talking about when did Pluto become classified as a planet and then when was it declassified or reclassified as a dwarf planet? And what are the other dwarf planets? What are the other dwarf planets?

Whoa! What? Dwarf planets like Pluto were defined as objects that orbit the sun and are nearly round but have not been able. able to clear their orbits of debris. So far, the IAU has only recognized five dwarf planets. In order of distance from the sun, they are, Ceres, Pluto, Hamea, Makey, and Eris. What a fun name.

Here's an infographic for all you freaks. What's it by? Did these orbit any of the, they don't orbit other planets, right? Earth's moon to scale. Oh, they're smaller than the moon. look at that they're not completely round that is so weird how maya is not round and even these things have they have moons

what pluto has five moons this is crazy year of discovery Pluto was the early oh I'm joking series was actually discovered in 1801 Pluto in 1930 and the rest in 2003 and 2005 that is nuts to me

Wow. Some astronomers expect there may be as many as 50 dwarf planets in our solar system. Why are planets round? Have you guys ever thought to think about, like stopped to think about any of this shit? Planets are round because gravity pulls equally from all sides. Gravity pulls matter in from all directions, causing it to clump together and form a sphere. Gravity is stronger in large objects, so the more massive it is, the larger it's gravitational pull. We knew that. When planets were four, we were four. forming, gravity pulled the molten materials towards the center of the planet. So does that mean what does it mean when a dwarf planet's not round?

It's gonna blow! Everybody down! Gravity keeps matter from falling further towards the center. Planets aren't perfectly spherical because they spin. The spinning force acts against gravity, causing planets to bulge out more around their equators.

The faster a planet spins, the more unround it becomes. Yeah, I guess because it's like fighting with the core and it's like the core is pulling it in but it's spinning out and it's bulging. Damn, the planet's got love handles. For example, Saturn is very oblate, which means non-sherical

because it rotates very fast. Okay, but Saturn is a planet. Smaller bodies in the solar system like comets and asteroids aren't round because their gravity isn't strong enough to smooth out their shape. This is crazy, y'all. Gravity pulls from the center to the edges like the spokes of a bicycle wheel.

This makes the overall shape of a planet a sphere, which is a three-dimensional circle. Yeah, thanks guys. Got it. Is Saturn round? And what the fuck is a gas planet? Saturn rings are on the equatorial plane. They go around its middle. This is because Saturn isn't a perfect sphere. It bulges a bit in the middle.

This means that any ring particles that aren't going around the middle don't have a circular orbit. This means that any ring particles that aren't going around the middle don't have a circular orbit. Yeah, my brain's not really, my brain's not really getting that. Saturn rotates on its axis every 10.5 hours, which is much faster than Earth's 24-hour rotation. This rapid rotation causes Saturn to bulge at the equator due to centrifugal force. centrifugal centrifugal centrifical

centrifugal it's centrifugal motion it's perpetual place it's the moment it's a sadda you're best da day of this

did you all know that song by Faith Hill centrifugal motion how did she fit that into a lyric centrifugal I have to watch a video on this. I feel like I'm just not going to get it. Centrifical force is the apparent outward force on a mass when it's rotated.

Think of a ball on the end of a string that's being twirled around or the outward motion you feel when turning a curve in a car. In an inertial frame, there is no outward acceleration since the system is not rotating. I'm not getting it. Nope. Not getting it. this is just not my expertise bro i don't centrifugal force centripetal centrifugal so it's something about i know that like you know when you're holding someone's hand and you spin around in a circle it's

like it feels like something's pulling you away from them and you go faster and faster the faster that you go and the farther away that you get actually that's not true because ice skaters when they have their arms out like this, they're going way slower than when they pull it in tight because that makes you spin even faster. So is centrifugal force measured by... I don't want to talk about physics. I don't give a fuck about physics. I don't want to talk about this. I'm bored. I don't like this. We're going to move on, actually. We're going to move on to this girl I follow on TikTok called Alyssa. She's the one that makes the snack plates. She's like, make a snack plate with me. And it's always the most...

delicious shit you've ever seen in your life. And it's balanced, okay? She'll do these like homemade sweet potato salad or like this is an egg salad with all this, you know, whatever in it. She'll do just like one tiny scoop and then she'll do some grapes. She'll do a skinny little carrot. She'll do some fresh cheddar cheese. She'll do some olives, some pickles, maybe some strawberries. and then sometimes some protein, like a little meat stick or something. And that's sometimes her dinner. And she makes these, they're delicious because it's not like, here's some fucking Vlasic dills, you know, and some wheat fens.

It's like, I made this myself or these are bread and butter pickles from my local, you know, farmers, whatever. And I'm addicted to her. And I want to try her little snack plates. And I feel like I'm not a Trader Joe's girl, but I feel like I need to be. be and you know why it's because they don't do instacart so i just never i'm really not doing it because i usually do instacart and if i don't do instagram cart then i just go to ralphs like i go to vons i go to the like croger equivalent here because i know that i know the layout i know what's going

on i know the brands even walmart i'll grocery shop at walmart because i know great value i know mccormick i know you know all that trader jo's to me is i don't know i feel like a fish i feel like I'm in a different country, like a fish out of water. And I go in there and it's so fucking busy. Oh my God, Chris Fleming has this joke where he says. And Trader Joe's, he thinks there's only items that women can see. He's so, he is ridiculously funny. He is someone that like, you can't even, his mind must be a prison. He is so fucking funny and smart. His mind must be a true prison. I love him, dude. I think that that's a little bit on the nose of how I feel about Trader Joe's.

I just cannot get into the culture of what Joe is putting down. Do you know what I mean? Because I get overwhelmed really easily. And I don't know because there's all these different sections. There's the frozen this and then there's Korean-inspired this. But then I've heard it's not good on TikTok, but then some people are like, it's really good. And then all the fruit, where does it come from? Okay.

I just get overwhelmed. and I know that their snacks are super famous. I need to drop some things in the comments below of what I need to do at Trader Joe's because, you know, who else loves Trader Joe's? Jacqueline Hill. And say what you will about Jacqueline Hill, but that bitch knows her food, okay?

I love her cooking videos. And she has the best snacks. She makes the best shit for like Super Bowl Sunday and all that. I'm locked into all that. But I can't have gluten or dairy, so I'm kind of like, can you make the... I'm that bitch in the TikTok comments like, okay, but what if I don't have cream cheeks?

And then people are like, don't make it. Make something else. Okay, but she's like, today we'll be making my favorite potato salad. Today you're going to start with some potatoes. What if I don't like potatoes? Then don't make it. Okay, what if I'm allergic to potatoes? Today, we're making my grandmother's egg salad recipe.

You're going to start with three eggs. What if I don't like eggs? I'm actually allergic to eggs. I'll die. If I could reach through this. the iPhone and Game of Thrones where they like pop their eyeballs out. Okay, what if I don't... I hate some of you bitches on TikTok.

Odd. That, I love those video essays on that of like the What About Me ism of Gen Z. Like, okay, well, what about me? Okay, well, I don't like eggs. Hey, then scroll. This isn't for you. I have to get this centrifugal. force off my shit, it's going to piss me off. Okay. Song of the Week. My song of the week is

4 by 4 by Don Tolover. That'll do it for this episode on the rescue report. I love you guys. And I'm so grateful for you listening to me. Tuning in every week. Oh my God, if you're listening to this, I probably just got back from ACL because I'm pre-recording this, okay? So I'll be, I'll have been at ACL. And Chris Stapleton is the back. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love Chris Stapleton. He's like my Justin Bieber. I'm so dead-ass serious. I love Chris Stapleton to death. I would scream in his face like he's Ariana Grande if I ever met him. Okay. Four by four by Don Tolliver. Go ahead and in the spirit of Chris Stableton. I'll give you four of my favorite Chris Stapleton songs to go listen to Midnight Train to Memphis. I've talked about the Steel Drivers before. That's his old bluegrass band. Go listen to the Steel Drivers. You could listen to Outlaw State of Mind. You could listen to to one of my favorites ever is death row by Chris Tableton. It's an acquired taste, okay, but go give it a listen. And then, what's my favorite one?

We'll do nobody to blame. Go listen to the song, Nobody to Blame. And I was wrong by Chris Tableton. Go listen to those. Okay, I love y'all. Go register to vote at headcount.org. Time's ticking away, guys. You got to register now.

And, because election day's coming up. All right, I love y'all. If you want merch, go to broskey.shop. Go subscribe to all of my YouTube channels and across the board. Okay, I'm kind of everywhere. You just got to look for me. And yeah, I'll see y'all next week. Happy early Halloween.

Okay, guys, bye.
