7:22

night I pick a different star to make a wish

7:24

on. Okay, next up is

7:26

a little segment I like to call Inside

7:29

Tinkercast Studios. Ahem.

7:32

Inside Tinkercast Studios. This

7:35

is the part where we revisit an episode of

7:37

one of my favorite Tinkercast shows. And

7:41

today, we're listening to Wow in

7:43

the World season two, episode 39

7:45

called Spit Take, the science of

7:48

saliva and those bitter bites. Oh,

7:51

Reggie, this is one of the very

7:53

first episodes of Wow in the World

7:55

featuring me, Dennis. You

7:58

don't remember me in the... episode? Yeah, I

8:01

guess it was a long time ago

8:03

and I sound a little different, but

8:05

I don't remember there being any spit.

8:07

Do people spit in this episode? Ew!

8:11

Are you sure? Well, I

8:14

don't know. Maybe spit is an acronym that

8:17

stands for super pointy

8:19

iguana tails. Reggie,

8:21

it could be about iguanas, although I

8:23

don't know why they would be spitting.

8:27

Right, let's listen and find

8:29

out. Okay, here we go

8:32

and play. We

8:34

will be right back. Grownups, this

9:50

Hey, guys. Hey, guys. You're

9:52

welcome. Can I have a drink? I'm going to have

9:54

a drink. Hi. Hey, guys. It's

9:56

me, Mindy. Hey, Mindy. Good

9:59

morning, Dennis. Why does no bitter-

10:02

Oh, hey Mindy. Hello Dennis.

10:04

Oh hi there guy. I was

10:06

just telling Mindy her mansion here

10:08

tastes like gingerbread wrapped in grapefruit and

10:10

dipped in ear wax. Ugh. Really

10:14

gross. Maybe you can ask her why it's so gross. Happy

10:17

birthday, Gary! Hi!

10:20

Mindy, it's not my birthday. My

10:22

birthday was like nine months ago

10:24

and you forgot. Don't you remember?

10:27

You forgot that I remembered your

10:29

birthday? No, uh... Because

10:31

I seem to remember forgetting to remember

10:34

that I forgot to remember. This is

10:36

giving me a headache. Oh, that headache

10:38

is just me, Guy Roz. Well, in any

10:40

case, it's not my birthday, but I'll be

10:42

sure to remember this moment the next time it comes

10:44

around, okay? Like it? Hey, thanks.

10:46

No! Watch over there. Bye. Wait!

10:49

I know that it's not your birthday, Guy

10:51

Roz. That's why I said, happy

10:54

un-birthday. Happy,

10:56

huh? Happy

10:59

not your birthday to you.

11:01

Happy not your birthday to

11:03

you. Happy not your birthday,

11:05

dear Guy Roz-y. Happy not

11:07

your birthday to you. Mindy,

11:10

what is all of this even about? What

11:12

is all of this even

11:14

about? Guy Roz, it's about the

11:17

exciting day that I have planned for

11:19

your un-birthday. Well, I was just planning

11:21

on taking it easy today. You know,

11:23

maybe a few crossword puzzles, spend some

11:26

time catching up on reading terms and

11:28

conditions... Reggie! What?

11:34

Is that Reggie? Mindy,

11:37

why is Reggie driving a motor

11:39

pickle? Because you don't let the

11:41

pigeon drive the bus, Guy Roz.

11:44

Everybody knows that. Guess

11:47

I'll have to hop on the old

11:49

motor pickle then. After you. Thank you.

11:52

Okay, Reggie, we're going to need you to take us to

11:54

that new place, the Spitcase. Spitcase.

11:58

It's a new experimental race. that

12:00

specializes in all of your favorite

12:02

foods. Artichokes,

12:04

broccoli, Brussels sprouts,

12:07

kale. Happy

12:10

un-birthday, Guy Roz. Brussels

12:12

sprouts, artichokes. Here we go.

12:21

Thanks for the ride, Red. Thanks, Rich.

12:25

You can tell me that

12:27

this new experimental restaurant was

12:29

shaped like a human mouth, Mindy. Oh

12:32

yeah, and lucky for you, it looks

12:34

like they're rolling out the red carpet

12:36

in honor of your big un-birthday. I

12:39

don't think that's a red carpet, Mindy.

12:42

It looks like that red carpet is

12:44

a tongue. What

12:46

are we waiting for? Come on, let's go inside. Wow,

12:50

people are eating at tables that

12:53

look like teeth. What is this

12:55

place? So the spit tank opened

12:57

right after this scientist from Purdue

13:00

University unveiled an amazing new study.

13:02

Yeah, what was it? It was

13:04

a study that explored the link

13:07

between our spit and

13:09

our willingness to eat things like

13:11

leafy green vegetables and

13:13

dark chocolate and coffee. Huh, I feel

13:15

like all those things share something in

13:18

common, but I can't quite put my

13:20

finger on it. Hello and welcome to

13:22

the spit tank, party for two. Don't

13:24

mind if I do. Right this way.

13:27

What, what, what, what, what, what? Oh,

13:30

what's the slippery wet stuff all

13:32

over the floor in here? It's

13:34

dripping from the ceilings and from

13:36

everywhere. This place feels like a

13:38

damp cave. Oh, that's the organic

13:40

saliva imported from Mediterranean or was

13:43

it the Netherlands? Ooh, la, la, did

13:45

you hear that guy rots

13:47

imported saliva? What, we're

13:50

walking in spit? Here

13:53

at the spit tank, we only

13:55

import the finest saliva from around

13:57

the world. Each batch a perfect

13:59

combination of water. and chemicals to

14:01

keep your mouth moist. Ugh!

14:04

Don't say moist! Yeah, nobody likes

14:06

that word. Now here we are.

14:08

Please take a seat. Turoth! Ever

14:11

since that study I mentioned

14:13

was unveiled, culture vultures from

14:15

around the world are all

14:17

agreeing that spit is it.

14:20

Spit is it? As

14:23

in, in style or on

14:26

trend or the zeitgeist?

14:28

Really? You said we'll be

14:30

with you in just a few moments. Enjoy. I'm

14:33

so excited! Hello there,

14:35

my name is Ginger. I'll be taking care

14:37

of you all today. Uh, can I get

14:40

you anything to drink? We have coffee and

14:43

we have chocolate milk. And?

14:46

And that is it. I'll have a chocolate

14:48

milk, please. I'll just have a water. Is

14:50

it okay if there is coffee in your

14:52

water? Uh, no, I would just like a

14:55

water, please. We don't have water, sir.

14:57

But you just said there's water in

14:59

the coffee. One coffee it is. I'll

15:01

be right back to take your order.

15:03

But, sorry, Guy Roz.

15:05

I forgot to mention that here at

15:08

the spit take, they only serve food

15:10

and drinks with a bitter taste. Bitter?

15:12

Mindy, what kind of restaurant is this?

15:15

Um, a restaurant that serves literally all

15:17

of your favorites. I mean, go ahead,

15:19

look at the menu. Hmm,

15:22

okay, the broccoli rave with

15:24

olives and garlic. Stir-fried

15:27

mustard greens, roasted Brussels

15:29

sprouts. Mindy, these are

15:31

all my leafy green

15:33

favorites. Happy un-birthday, little buddy.

15:35

But Mindy, I do have a

15:38

confession to make. Uh, are you

15:40

about to tell me a secret? Because I

15:42

gotta make sure I'm live-streaming this. What? Here,

15:44

tuck into this end. No, put the

15:46

phone down, Mindy. This is not for the

15:48

whole world to know. Fine. Alright,

15:51

what's the secret confession? I... What?

15:54

Didn't always... Didn't always

15:56

what? I didn't

15:59

always like... Just

16:02

say it Guy Ross! I didn't always like

16:04

the taste of leafy green vegetables! Mindy,

16:09

say something! Chocolate milk! What?

16:12

Oh, hope I'm not interrupting anything.

16:14

Just wanted to drop off your

16:17

coffee here and your chocolate milk,

16:19

ma'am. Now, uh, either of you

16:21

first timers here. We are! It's

16:24

my own birthday. Okay, uh, so

16:26

here's how the restaurant works. We

16:28

are an experimental eatery that sources

16:31

and serves only the most

16:33

bitter foods, and we prepare them

16:35

in the most bitter way possible.

16:40

There's no sugar or milk in this coffee

16:42

water at all! Fantastic spit

16:45

takes, sir! That's what we like

16:47

to see here! What?

16:49

Guy Ross, that's kind of the point! And

16:52

while everything will probably taste a little bit

16:54

toxic at first, we will continue to bring

16:56

these foods out to your table until you

16:58

start to enjoy them. Which,

17:01

uh, could take up to seven days, is that

17:03

okay? Okey-doke, huh? Great! I'll

17:06

be right back with your

17:08

broccoli kale bitter bites! Mm-mm!

17:10

You are going to be

17:12

pestle! But... Okay,

17:14

Guy Ross, you were just starting

17:17

to tell me the mind-blowing secret

17:19

that once upon a time, you

17:21

did not like the taste of

17:23

kale. Oh, right. Well, to be honest,

17:25

Mindy, it's kind of hard for me

17:27

to talk about, because as

17:29

you know, these days I'm known

17:32

as the kale crusader. You know, the

17:34

kale guy. Oh, yeah!

17:36

I've seen you parading through

17:38

the farmer's market with your

17:40

please don't kale, my vibe

17:42

posters. Oh

18:04

hi that guy out there last

18:06

night bullhorn would is that like

18:08

twenty one? Because the fifty watt

18:11

and people came here you little

18:13

better. For

18:15

can I. Say I'm a detailed fans

18:17

tail, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens. I

18:20

never leave home without them. But

18:22

Mindy, there was once upon a

18:24

time where. That wasn't the

18:27

case. Let me guess, when you

18:29

were a little kids, yeah, it's

18:31

you know who. I

18:35

most kids don't like the.

18:37

Taste. Of green leafy vegetables is

18:40

what I wasn't like most kids,

18:42

Mindy. You.

18:45

To think back to when

18:47

you were existed guy Razzie

18:49

Okay oh say the bags

18:51

miles and like you to

18:53

think back to the Zarif

18:55

the time the your mom

18:58

had used to move leafy

19:00

green heal from the garden.

19:02

And weapons East is like

19:04

to you? Okay imagining? Those

19:07

days. Harvested

19:12

Some bruises come from the

19:14

garden. Some.

19:19

Ah see. A suspicious stance

19:21

of your own sectarian distillery.

19:23

so. I

19:28

do remember his tasting pretty awful

19:30

and deter and brings us back

19:33

to death. steady I was about

19:35

to tell you about earlier. Oh

19:37

right the one about the new

19:39

connections between our spirit and foods

19:41

with a bitter taste. So series

19:43

discuss this researcher named. Dr. Gore

19:46

Deal you're running from Indiana to

19:48

produce University of New. Then

19:50

security thing foods like Cel

19:52

in Brussels Sprouts exactly love

19:54

to buy most people as

19:57

opposed to the other for

19:59

basic. Salty, sweet, sour,

20:01

and umami? Umami? Yeah, umami

20:04

is a savory taste found

20:06

in foods like meat and

20:08

fish and some vegetables and

20:11

even dairy products like cheese.

20:13

Umami! Sorry. So,

20:16

I guess the idea behind this study

20:18

was that most people, when given the

20:20

choice, would rather eat something salty or

20:22

sweet or any other taste

20:25

over bitter? Yeah, so out of all

20:27

five of the basic flavors, bitter is

20:29

known to be the most unpleasant, to

20:31

say the least. But it's

20:34

also the flavor found in some of

20:36

the healthiest foods for our body. So

20:38

while it might be good for you,

20:40

no one is going to

20:42

ask for a big kale cake topped with

20:44

mustard greens and dollops of brussel sprouts on

20:46

their birthday cake. Happy

20:49

birthday to you! Not

20:51

now! What I'm

20:53

getting at, Guy-Roz, is that

20:55

Dr. Running had a hunch

20:57

that maybe this rejection of

20:59

bitter foods is something that

21:01

we can change about ourselves

21:04

biologically by actually changing

21:06

how we physically taste right

21:08

down to our teeny, tiny

21:10

taste buds. As opposed

21:12

to psychologically, where we

21:14

convince ourselves that we really,

21:17

really like these foods. Exactaritos,

21:19

Guy-Roz! So

21:22

is this where our saliva or spit

21:24

comes in? Almost, but first I should

21:26

say that Dr. Running took this

21:28

hunch she had and decided to

21:31

conduct an experiment. Ooh,

21:33

I love a good scientific experiment!

21:35

What was it? Okay,

21:38

so she got 64 people

21:40

to agree to drink chocolate milk

21:42

every day for a whole week.

21:45

And every time they drank it,

21:47

they had to rate the flavor from bad

21:49

to good, like on a scale of one

21:51

to ten. Drinking chocolate

21:54

milk for science? Hmm. Hey,

21:56

anything for science, Guy-Roz? But I Don't

21:59

understand. Milk is

22:01

one of the sweetest streets I

22:03

can think of. It's kind. Of. Nutritious,

22:06

but very delicious. Delicious.

22:08

not so fast, See

22:10

this: Chocolate milk with flavored

22:12

with chocolate or cocoa that

22:15

contained only four percent sugar.

22:17

Ah, much less sugar than a

22:19

regular chocolate bars. That contains up

22:22

to twenty three percent sugar. Or

22:24

right? So as you can imagine,

22:26

chocolate or rather, cocoa with almost

22:29

no. Sugar and. Route

22:31

or any better for most people may

22:34

be, but not for me. I love

22:36

dark chocolate. Point You said guy. Rise.

22:38

You're not like most people, so

22:40

what? The doctor running learn from her

22:43

experiment to learn that while it's not

22:45

that milk. In free be

22:47

better than most people and from. Vibes

22:51

end of the most people in

22:53

the study so we started. To

22:57

seem to lose some of it's considered the

22:59

more they drink soup over the course of

23:01

the. Weeks. Something in their bodies

23:03

was changing the way they did.

23:05

The bitterness in the cocoa. Interesting,

23:08

which brings us back to

23:10

fix. Do we really need

23:12

to talk about spit? At

23:15

the dinner table sky rise we are

23:17

literally in a restaurant seems like an

23:19

open mouth and call this city takes.

23:22

Hi hi Susan! Noom seventies I

23:24

can do to guys. Maybe some

23:26

citrus peel? smirk on citrus peels.

23:29

I think we're going to need a few more minutes to

23:31

look over. The menu know

23:33

gone to. Sense. Has

23:35

feel like we never left his

23:37

after the people in the study

23:39

to rent a video of milk

23:41

in a raided the season they

23:43

had to tell was send their

23:45

spin. Doctor running one so

23:47

like these has been to an

23:50

awful open just mail. The To

23:52

or I'm pretty sure that would

23:54

be a few messy on blimps

23:56

drooling all over the mailboxes I

23:58

see use more. scientific

24:00

like I don't know maybe a test tube

24:02

or something oh and then they mailed their

24:05

spit to her and What

24:07

exactly did she do with tubes

24:09

of spits and 64 different people?

24:13

She took them to produce spit

24:15

lab and studied them. I'm sorry.

24:17

Did you say spit lab? Oh,

24:20

well the full name is

24:22

produced saliva perception ingestion and

24:25

tongue's laboratory But

24:27

most people just call it the

24:29

spit lab for short an entire

24:31

laboratory dedicated to studying You

24:35

know what she found was

24:37

pretty wow oh yeah So

24:40

after studying the spit samples

24:42

from these 64 different people

24:46

Started noticing that there were

24:49

changes in the during

24:51

the course of the experiment Changes

24:54

like what well first I should mention

24:56

that in addition to helping us chew

24:58

and swallow And break down

25:00

the food that we shovel into our traps It

25:04

is also full of these teeny

25:06

tiny molecules called

25:08

protein and those

25:10

proteins help us to taste

25:12

the different flavors caused by the

25:15

chemicals in our food like sweetness

25:17

and sourness and bitterness You

25:19

know it but after studying the

25:22

spit of these people She

25:24

noticed that the more of

25:26

this bitter chocolate milk They

25:28

drank the more certain proteins

25:31

in their spit began to

25:33

change Huh so the

25:35

more their spit came into contact with

25:37

the bitter flavors in the cocoa The

25:40

more those special proteins were made

25:42

in their spit and the less

25:44

they were able to taste the

25:46

bitterness Well basically yeah So

25:49

their spit glands actually learned to

25:51

make more of that protein that

25:53

dampened or decreased the bitter flavor

25:56

Kind of like when you dump a bunch of water

25:58

in my orange juice to water it down

26:00

and think I don't notice. So just

26:02

to be clear, Dr. Running discovered

26:05

that after a week of drinking

26:07

bitter chocolate milk, the people in

26:09

the experiment had more of these

26:12

diluting molecules than when they started?

26:14

Pretty bonker balls, right? The

26:16

building blocks of their spit

26:19

basically changed to tell their

26:21

brains that the bitter cocoa

26:23

wasn't so bitter after all.

26:26

Wow. I know, Mindy, this could

26:28

explain why I love eating kale now,

26:30

but I didn't like it when I

26:32

was a little kid. Yeah? What

26:35

do you mean? Well, even though I didn't like kale or

26:37

brussel sprouts or even dark chocolate as a kid,

26:39

I still had to eat them. So

26:42

when you were a little kid, you

26:44

actually tried again and again and again and

26:46

again to

26:49

eat the bitter foods that

26:51

you detested? Yeah. Almost

26:53

every meal, I couldn't have dessert

26:56

until I did. But Mindy, over

26:58

time, I started to

27:00

actually enjoy these foods and

27:03

now, well, I'm

27:05

the kale crusader. Whoa. Garaz,

27:11

your spit actually changed to make

27:13

you like the taste of those

27:15

bitter leafy green vegetables. Man,

27:18

just goes to show that

27:20

maybe it's not just the

27:22

taste that determines what we

27:24

eat, but what we

27:26

eat can, over time,

27:29

determine the taste. I

27:31

might have to chew on that one for a while. Uh,

27:36

Mindy? Sorry, it's

27:39

just taking me a while to chew

27:41

on this broccoli kale bitter bite. Hi,

27:43

hi. Just checking in to see how those bitter

27:46

bites are going for you. Ah,

27:49

you're really bitter. Can I

27:51

spit it out now? Well, of course

27:53

you can. There's a spit trough right

27:55

over there. A spit trough? bring

28:00

out another serving like I said it could

28:02

take up to seven days or more for

28:04

saliva to change enough for the bitter flavor

28:06

to go away here

28:10

put on these magnifying goggles and check out

28:12

my spit see if you can see any

28:14

changes in it yet Mindia I'm not gonna

28:17

happy on birthday to

28:19

you Wow just

28:22

for me is that a cake

28:24

made entirely out of raw kale

28:31

florets Mindy this

28:33

is the best not my birthday ever

28:45

28:47

gets used to

28:53

it there was so much spit

28:55

in that episode the

28:59

trough and in the mail spit in

29:02

the mail Reggie but

29:04

you know it did get me

29:06

thinking about Mindy's gingerbread mansion yeah that

29:08

I only tried to eat it that one time

29:10

and it was horrible and bitter but

29:12

if I keep trying it every day

29:15

29:17

able to finally eat it right
