Tennis balls are xanthic. Xanthic (also called xanthum in the UK, I found out) is a shade of yellow so saturated it can catch and appear to absorb light from other objects, creating an effect where people view xanthic colored things as green-yellow, green, or yellow. It's also one of the colors colorblind people struggle with the most, as the high saturation is hard for eyes with weaker cones to process, so this is 100% out of Sean's hands. God is trolling him. Edit: someone in the replies mentioned it's hard for visually impaired people to see, so I looked it up. Turns out if your optic nerve is damaged, high-saturation colors like xanthic/xanthum can stop registering as distinct from the background.

I call my inhaler my "premium air subscription" So, when my Asthma is giving me jip it's just my subscription running out and I need to top it up.

Fun fact: adult cows will go ahead and drink other nursing cows milk, if there's no nearby water source or if they are that desperate for something to drink, I used to help my friend at his cattle ranch and I've seen the breeding bull have some milk from a mother cow.

As a dairy farmer, I can confirm that full grown. Adult cows will will nurse from each other.

Man i love this podcast. Too many podcasts have a dumb friend and a competent friend and its only content is the dumb friend not knowing how things work and the smart friend explaining it, they arent bad just repetitive. Brain leak is just 2 pretty smart people who have dumb moments and that works so well

In Australia when it gets super hot my family puts the bread in the fridge otherwise it moulds in pretty much one day due to the humidity levels and heat

Guys, once you open your ketchup please put it in the fridge. It’s not in the refrigerated section in stores because it’s sealed from outside air preventing oxygen and contaminants from entering the bottle. But once it’s opened it is no longer protected and will go bad way before the expiration date if left out. Hence why you put it in the fridge. It prevents any germs that enter your ketchup from multiplying too quickly. There’s a reason most sealed foods/condiments say refrigerate after opening.

I think they've achieved the "shit we've already talked about this" they've COMPARED SPACERS I SWEAR

So i just have this on while eating breakfast and my 2½ year old is drinking her milk from her cereal and you say "you fucking milk drinker" and she is finding that hilarious 😂 im such a great parent 😅

1:23:27 "It was not entirely flaccid, but so tubular" What a description (the surprise vacuum cleaner hose killed me) 😂

I'm living for Sean losing his mind about Ethan's battery

The "shoulda been more PACIFIC" had me cackling like a witch over a cauldron! 😂😂 Rofl! This podcast is always the highlight of my week. I love you both so so much and i hope you never stop making this!! 🥰

not me being targeted by Sean about having a fancy rock degree

My biggest issue with SORA AI is in court cases Someone could accuse you of a crime and provide an AI generated video of you committing said crime And eventually it’s going to look so convincing that you just can’t argue against it Innocent people could be imprisoned for something they never did, by people they’ve never met It could also be used to cover someone’s tracks as a “well I was over in that place when they died so it couldn’t have been me” and it’s just an AI video of them in a bar Either they need to completely stop development of AI Have it extremely restricted Or laws need to be put in place fast

Sean nearly froze to death after passing out taking a shit.

The thing about the vitamin d and milk is actually true! Your body needs vitamin d to help process the calcium otherwise your body diesnt really do much with it.. Not only that calcium is stored in your bones and whenever your body needs it, it will take it out and use it! Which is why big milk was pushing for people to drink milk which is actually a good idea! Around our mid 20s your bones will completely calcify and your body will no longer be able to store the calcium there but it will continue to take! Which is why some conditions like arthritis happens..so taking a calcium supplement and getting your vitamin d is super important!

I'm sorry but the drake ending absolutely KILLED ME 💀😭🤣

Regarding baby sea turtles, you can actually buy a holiday package to join marine biologists, learn more about sea turtles and help the biologists get the babies safely to the water! It's a very fun, feel good holiday, and the baby turtles are adorable ❤

I don't know why, but Ethan's "condensation" flippen sent me to an early grave*😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀 For those wondering 4:40 is the time stamp😂🤣

27:27 the Leakers yearn for the mines

This Podcast has become my go-to for a good laugh and nice dreams as i fall asleep to these episodes.

Gotta love when my airpods die on me in class and my phone blasts british ethan at full volume going, “OHHH NOO WHERE DO I WHAT DO I WHERE DO I GO TO FIND IT!” 20:43

Also, on the "how do cows know to stop drinking milk?" The weaning process often begins when the mother cow starts to reduce her milk production or becomes less receptive to the calf's attempts to nurse. This signals to the calf that it's time to start exploring and consuming other food sources.

The standard color of a tennis ball is typically yellow or yellow-green. The outer felt covering of a tennis ball is usually a bright shade of yellow, which aids in visibility against various backgrounds and helps players keep track of the ball during a match. However, tennis balls can also be found in other colors like orange, red, or white, which serve specific purposes such as training, recreational play, or adapting to different court surfaces. (yes im a nerd and i like to do research)

"You shoulda been more Pacific" absolutely sent me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

19:39 SEAN THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER HEARD OMG YOU SHOULD WIN AN AWARD (please don't kill anyone)

Oddly enough, I was just listening to the episode last night where they talked about whether milk is good for our bones. Sean was much more confident in his answer last time 😂

The end of the episode absolutely sent me, just Ethan flopping around the vacuum hose 😂

I have a cousin who has a PhD in literature, and when he was in the paper for a reenactment he specifically asked not to be listed as Dr because he didn't want anyone running to him if they got heat stroke because he was like I can comfort you with stories but I cannot help you lol Edited for piss poor spelling lol

I let a daddy long leg stay in the corner of my room for like a year I made sure no one killed him or anything. Id often hold him too. I mean he kept the flies out of my room during the summer, so I provided him shelter.

Tennis balls are flourecent yellow, same as high-vis clothing. Flourecent yellow has the unfortunate distinction of looking a bit green, but they're still classed as yellow.

I picked up my phone right when Sean said "are you on your phone right now?!?" and got so scared LOL

Ethans comparison with the Dyson was accurate.. 😂😂

The end of this episode killed me 💀💀💀

Sean in regards to the wall - if there’s an unfinished aspect in a finished house, it can drive the value down in the US. Better to have a fully finished house with nothing unprofessional than to have an unprofessional addition. Also building codes and so on.

Fun fact - if you make cookies put a slice of bread in the tub with th3 cookies it keeps the cookies soft!

Sean: That sounds like a violation of someone's privacy ... let me google that real quick

Is it just me or is there no audio on this video? Well this is entertaining 😂 Ok it's fixed

There are definitely fences made out of stones all over England you silly Sean lol

for what I remember all condiments says on the packaging refrigerate after opening with bread I prefer keeping it in the fridge because otherwise it is too soft especially Danish rye bread it needs some bite

bred always seams to go moldy when it’s not in fridge

You've absolutely no idea how happy it made me to hear Sean say chartreuse sounds like it should be a crimson color. I can finally be at peace

here I am, 28 years old, laughing with my favourite KZfaqrs about our age related pains. it's nice to grow old together 😂

I've never burned ants with a magnifying glass, but one time, a friend and I would pick up ants and flicked them on this spiderweb and watch as a big ass spider came down and wrap them up.

the end where ethan asks if sean seen drakes snake is hilarious

As a respiratory therapist who works in pediatrics, I also refer to inhalers as "puffers" or "puffs" when talking to my patients. And yes, we call it thrush here in the US, too!

My fiancé grew up on a farm, and one of the cows that they had, Bambi, would constantly drink her own milk. It was a problem.

Dairy person here, I got so excited hearing y'all talk about cows. But yes cows do, and can drink off of each other. But it becomes a problem if they do it constantly. Because babies don't have teeth, and adult cows have bottom teeth. You also can get bit by a cow. But not the way you think, I've had to give medicine to cows, and like a cat you have to put it kind of down their throat so they don't spit it out. One time I just use my arm to put it in there all the way as you need to get fully in the throat cuz cows are really good at regurgitating because they chew their cud. They have incisors in the back of their mouth that can, and will ruin your morning. I've also been thrown by cows just by their heads when I'm trying to give them medicine, and they whip their heads around, and can get under you.

i loved sean's joke about the lobster going into the pacific ocean, that was very smart and quick witted

my reaction for various talking points in order: tennis balls are neon green i have an egg intolerance (newly discovered) the dress is blue and black bread in the fridge or freezer makes it last longer because it preserves the bread for longer ketchup goes in the fridge after you open it (it says it on the packaging) keep all milks in the fridge after calfs grow up they get fed grass and they drink water (the basement conversation) it's not a wall, it's a partition

My wife got me to start freezing bread so it lasts longer which was wild to me when I learned about it. Also I think some things, like almond milk and ketchup, just taste better cold, and I think that's part of why they go in the fridge.

7:32 yes. You are right. You need vitamin D to make calcium effective but in many places like Finland we add vitamin D to milk. Altho still, the calcium is in very small amounts. You can get way more from other stuff.

I used to keep my bread in a bread bin, sealed with a food clip, and it would be stale/mouldy within a week or 2. Since keeping it in the fridge I've always been able to finish the loaf, even a month after buying it, and it's never had mould or be stale.

for the fridged bread convo: i have very forgetful adhd and very quick changing food fixations and moods too so sometimes when i have a loaf or several rolls of bread, i sit them out on the counter (still in their bag, thin plastic from the store deli section or i repackage them in a better sealed ziplock) if i know im going to use them once or several times a day. but if it's particularly humid in SoCal where i am (and we don't have air conditioning) we ABSOLUTELY have to refrigerate our bread or it goes moldy pretty quick. tip: if you run into an issue of condensation when putting bagged bread in your refrigerator, try leaving a bit of the bag open to negate that from happening. in the long run, the bread will still stale eventually but for myself at least, i use my bread rolls daily, it's not noticeable for me.

I might be a little late, but the hue of the hex code Ethan mentioned for the color of a tennis ball is 65°. For comparison the hue of yellow is 60° and the hue of green is 120° so it doesn’t land *right* in the middle.

Sean calls me a milk drinker right as I'm drinking a carton of milk 😂

WE NEED A PIC OF ETHAN'S WALL 🗣🗣📢📢

Just wanted to say I really appreciate this podcast. Such a comfort. So silly. Such a good time. ❤ leakers forever!

unopened almond, oat, rice etc. drinks don't need to be kept in the fridge but opened ones do (at least this is what it has said on all the cartons I've bought). though I don't know how long it lasts if you don't refrigerate it after opening...

best podcast for me to wake up to and listen to on the way to work, love y’all❤️

why am i offended they never showed us ethan’s basement wall

The problem with adobe ai is that when they started training there ai on adobe stock photos.... no one consented who use adobe stock to sell photos to let adobe train there ai on there photos. They just did.

I put bread in the fridge cause I live in humidity all the time and mold starts overnight if I keep it out 😭

Yes, milk is often associated with promoting strong bones. Milk is a good source of calcium, which is an essential mineral for building and maintaining strong bones. Calcium is a major component of bone tissue, and it plays a vital role in bone formation and structure. Consuming an adequate amount of calcium is important for bone health, especially during childhood and adolescence when bones are still growing. Calcium helps in the development of peak bone mass, which is the maximum amount of bone a person can have and is a critical factor in determining bone health later in life. In addition to calcium, milk also provides other nutrients that contribute to bone health, such as vitamin D and phosphorus. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium from the intestines, while phosphorus works together with calcium to build strong bones and teeth.

Hi. Microbiologist here and host for a thrush infection about a few years ago here to tell you about facts no one asked for but i like science so here you go. As explained in the episode, thrush is a yeast. Yeast is normally part of our oral flora (meaning our mouth bacteria. Our mouths are full of helpful bacteria that break down food, and yeast just kinda hangs out in there naturally). However, when something disrupts our oral flora, like use of antibiotics (this just happens, nothing to be afraid of as long as you make sure to eat healthy while taking antibiotics) or disease, or something of that nature, yeast goes YIPPEE more space! And grows out of control, causing infection. Since most yeast species are Candida (can-did-uh. Not can-deed-uh), like Candida albicans (a very common yeast), this is why thrush is called candidiasis. The best remedy for a thrush infection is something that will replenish that sweet succulent mouth bacteria so... That means yogurt! Now, while most yogurt bacteria is usually good for your gut, a lot of the flora overlap since...y'know...things from your mouth go into your gut. So eat yogurt and drink plenty of fluids!

Yaaaaayy a new episode let's go!! The color discussion was really interesting to listen to and the adds are as good as always, so silly, i love this podcast

anyone here thought of Matt when they said Mike Hunt ?? hahahaha 'all the npc's are now called Steve !!' haha such a good moment

I already said it when Ethan showed his vacuum hose example on stream, but it is unfortunately so accurate you would not BELIEVE unless you saw it. I had not seen it and had another chatter send me the link because I'm always too curious for my own good 😅 and wow Ethan could not have been more accurate with it

I love you guys soo much. You make me laugh. Made my worst day into a happy one... I love hearing you guys in the background when I'm doing my daily chores. I'm a mother of a 16 month old baby and ohhhh boy! It's stressful. Thank you guys for the giggles! ❤

Sean doing the cat huh imitation made my life! He does it so well, face and all!

my two cents on the tennis ball colour thing is that brand new tennis balls are highlighter yellow, but as they get dirty from use over time and the fuzz flattens down or comes off, the neon-ness fades leaving just a more green colour.

5:05 My family always kept it in the freezer. Just a short reheat and its all brand new, ready to be toasted

9:25 For most mamals, they're far enough along in development to have the brain capacity to stand up or move or etc. But for humans, our heads are essentially too big to fit through at around the same development point, and so to compensate, humans started giving birth earlier on on the development cycle when the child is smaller and easier and safer to. However the cost of this is being born with much earlier brain development, and thus human babies have to take time outside the womb growing before their brain has the capacity to crawl or stand or walk

12:42 ‘gulls gotta eat’ made my day

58:22 that's the quote if it was made by AI 😆

1:18:01 For Halloween last year (2023) I actually did something like this. I wore a high-visibility vest and high-visibility pants with a gas mask as a makeshift hazmat-esque outfit. I was shocked that I didn’t get in trouble for wearing full neon chartreuse throughout the entire day in school.

I use to say pacific instead of specific (I use to have a lisp) up until middle school 😂😂😂😂

The way Sean’s face shifted lmfao

Your discussion on AI presented some good points that I hadn't considered before, and moving forward I plan to look at the situation with more nuance.

eggs that are store bought (processed? or?? idk the word) are ment to be in the frigde, but freshly laid eggs have that coating to protect them so you can leave them on the counter if your house is nice and cool (temp not sick cool)

Sean with this head is having a second rebirth as Evelyn's true boyfriend

let’s go leakers i’ve been blessed with the boys posting on my bday

I used the little purple powder inhaler when I was a kid, I use the albuterol inhaler now!

As long as the spider isn't where I sleep or prepare food I kind of just leave them, they help with other bugs that I like less. I don't like spiders but I can co-exist with them

Love Sean talking about the good weather 💔 two days ago it was 80° and then it snowed that following night

47:50 The “new” AI video of will smith is actually real. He videoed it poking fun at the meme. And some of it is just in reverse

Froze to death 👀.... Sounds like the cabin days. We're off to a Leaky start already. It'll be interesting to hear what this weeks topics are while having a break. Danke for sharing, Hope everyone is doing well. Stay Leaky Bros 🧠 😎 👊

To answer some of your questions about milk and cows: 1: Some milk has vitamin D added into it so it does actually help with the calcium building in bones 2: Calves tend to be naturally weaned off of the milk supply, but at a lot of dairies the calves are taken away from their mothers and manually fed before that would happen

19:39 great joke 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Dude, I LOVE that the end tag was "Brain leak" in unison by Sean and Ethan :)

Depends on where you live in the u.s. if you live in a place with hurricanes, then you get a concrete house that's hard to knock over.(if it's new) Ect.

Sean talking about making an outfit the same colour as tennis balls when in fact we do have those 😂 isn't that just safety gear? And every construction worker ever 😅

Putting bread in the fridge keeps it from getting moldy for a bit longer! Very important when you're on a tight grocery budget 😁

I found a Change petition to change chartreuse to a red shade. You're not alone, Sean 😂

Yellow mixed with Green is a color people rarely heard of called Chartreuse. My epilepsy started at 9 months old, seizures stopped when I was a teenager, then returned when I was in my early 20's. "Get Mike Hunt on the line." 🤣😂🤣☠️💀☠️💀☠️
