On this week’s episode, Gary licks a baby, Will drinks iced coffee, and Norm gets very uncomfortable. All that, plus the Galaxy S III, Blackberry 10, and another episode of fake outtakes.

No, sure, I didn’t mean it would be easy to set up, but I’m not gonna cry for them either. Fortunately, they don’t get piles of money for no work!

Woot new podcast!!
i need to know why the baby got licked
More dubstep please.
I still do not understand why this isn’t presented in a better damn way. But thanks!
Dubstep is just the evolution of Techno, it is NOT the equivalent of rap. It’s glorified dance/club music.
I’m an ass man, but I now have breast on the mind.
I kind of zoned out at the start of Norm’s game theory discussion, but then when he got into it, it was really damn interesting. Was this a show or something? Can we get a link to what he was talking about?
And I think I’m done. Ever since the changeover, I’ve really only come here to listen to the podcast. After listening to you guys voice your opinions about what Paul Miller’s intentions were about not being on the internet for a year, I had to just stop listening all together. Your cynicism about the story was just such a turnoff. Today I realized that I don’t really care what Will or Norm think about anything, I’m really more interested in listening to what Gary has to say. I may not agree with him either but he is way more entertaining. So good luck, I wish you success but tested just doesn’t seem to be the site for me any more.
tested.com/podcast-xml/ works great for me.
That was one of the most fascinating fake out-takes I have ever heard in my life. My future wife will be licking our baby. In the future, as Gary learns more about Parenting, I truly hope he will be passing it along.
The podcast has always been my favorite part of tested.com
I have to say the fact that I still have to go the comments for the mp3 download is pathetic. Why hasn’t that been fixed yet? This whole transition was so half assed and very poorly handled (I appreciate that Will has at least admitted to that fact). The podcast is really the only reason I come to this site now. The news articles and videos hold no interest anymore for me. I’m glad you guys are happy and are doing more of the stories that you want to do even if that means leaving out old readers. I understand it, I really do, but for christ sake’s man fix the damn website.
I was kind of pissed off at the time, and I’m terrible at reading scripts. Apologies if I grated.
If it makes any difference, I’m a Mac user. I think RMS is an arse and the GPL is one of the worst ways to distribute software I can think of. My problem was not with the conclusion that Steam for Linux is doomed, as that is a perfectly legitimate position; it was the haste and dismissal with which that conclusion was simply assumed to be the correct one.
Came on here as soon as I heard that to make sure I wasn’t crazy. I work on the technical end of things for a national cable network and don’t make $15 an hour. I’m planning on moving this fall and have been considering SF since I have such a low personal standard of living (only rent, utilities, and food bills with no debt) and everywhere I’ve lived, the local cost of living hasn’t affected me. If anything the higher pay to balance life out for everyone else just helps me all the better. My current location, Houston (yuck), has a low cost of living, therefore, lower pay.
I implore Gary to keep making Norm uncomfortable with baby talk. Explain mucus plugs and placentas next week Gary!
I guess I don’t understand the Monty Hall problem. Isn’t it a 1/2 chance for either door after you remove the third door? Just like the probability of pulling a colored marble out of a bag, correct? 2 red balls and 1 blue ball. They pull one red ball and don’t replace. What is the chance that you will pull the blue ball next? Isn’t it still 1/2 chance?
You guys outdid yourselves this time. You had me rolling. So much in fact that I have to make my wife listen to this episode. First the piss bottle and the “fill and dump” comment by Will. Oh… so funny. Then as a parent of 2 to listen to Gary talk about babies is nothing short of brilliant.
On the topic of streaming media and not finding what you want, it’s the reason I only have the Netflix DVD subscription and don’t bother with their streaming library. I can barely keep up with new releases, why would I want to bother with streaming material I’ve already seen?
I am dumb, that is all that this is proving. Where is the third in 2/3 coming into play? To me you are removing the third door from the equation when you open it, thus making it 1/2 chance for either staying with your pick or switching. I am trying to think about it logically and all I come up with is the same outcome.
Doors 1 and 2 have a goat, 3 has cash. Person picks door number 3 and they open 2 revealing a goat. The contestant swaps to door 1 and loses or stays with door number 3 and wins. How does swapping even make a difference? Flip of a coin, 50% chance either way after door 2 is removed from the equation.
1=G 2=G 3=C
Choose 1 2 is removed switching wins staying loses
Choose 2: 1 is removed switching wins staying loses
Choose 3: 1 or 2 is removed switching loses staying wins
If your first choice is wrong then switching is a guaranteed win. Odds of your first choice being wrong are two out of three.
I’m sure that someone probably said this already, but Gary was taught some dubious things (I won’t say bullshit, because I could be wrong) in the baby class. I’m not gonna check Wikipedia or anything, I’ll just write from memory, so forgive the mistakes.
Most of it was correct, such as Nestle being absolutely evil in developing countries. Breast milk does have a great amount of the mother’s antibodies, so if she has an immunity to a certain disease (either from having the disease naturally or getting a vaccine), the baby will be protected by breast milk. Putting the baby on the mother after birth is also very much recommended. It’s also true that breast milk is the only thing the baby needs to eat for the first six months of his or her life.
However, when the baby is older than six months, breast milk becomes insufficient, and the diet should be expanded with different foods. Also, the benefit of breast milk is also that it changes in composition subtly as the baby grows, so it’s always best adjusted for its needs.
But breast milk isn’t some miracle substance, as it’s only as bactericidal and effective at fighting infections as, say, blood (which has lymphocytes, leukocytes and antibodies).
Licking the baby also seems highly dubious. The baby would be likely to get most germs from its surroundings, so it’s not very probably that the mother would get some new bacteria by licking it. And even if she did, I’m not sure how quickly antibodies could be formed, and go to the breast milk. Babies also need their vaccines, so breast milk by itself isn’t completely sufficient.
And I might be wrong, but if a woman has never given birth, I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t be able to breastfeed, because the gland tissue in her breasts hasn’t been prepared to produce milk for breastfeeding during pregnancy (human chorion gonadotropin from placenta and occitocin play a part in this).
Now I realized I’ve written a wall of text that my obstetrics-gynecology professor would probably poke holes in left and right.
Thanks mouse. I get what they explaining, but my brain just doesn’t think that way. To make sense of it I have to think it all starts with the door you choose; 1/3 chance of being the car or 1/3 chance to lose if you always switch. Either way, my brain wants to disprove this.
