[laughs] Absolutely.

The eyes, the mouth, the feet, and the hump.

The four main secrets to how they strut their stuff.

The eyes, the mouth, the feet, and the hump.

Join me on a tour from their head to their rump.

Let's start with the eyes.

Big, long lashes, as cute as can be.

[laughs]

I am Lulu Miller.

I'm Latif Nasser.

And if you've ever listened to Radiolab, you know that we love falling down rabbit holes.

So pop some Dramamine [audience laughing] because this evening we are going to take you on a fantastical parabolic flight.

Oh, I'm gonna be sick.

Oh, grow up.

Or actually, do the opposite of that.

Slime is also fun and easy to make outside of the body using household materials.

One recipe just calls for some detergent, glue, and water.

Mix it up and you'll get a wonder of chemistry and physics.

You see, slime is something called a non-Newtonian fluid.

[laughs]

Yeah.

Um, and they just asked me, they were like, "W- well, what's, what is the sweetest thing? Uh, what, what actually is the sweetest thing that you could eat?" And I was like, "I have no idea." [laughs] Um, and, and that then sent me kind of on a quest to try to find w- what actually is the sweetest thing that you can eat, and there is a kind of, uh, the chemists have figured out a scale to, to, to measure sweetness and to rank th- sweet things against each other.

Um, but the scale is a little bit controversial.

Uh, people think that it doesn't quite correspond to h- the way we taste and experience sweetness.

So, so for this show, we're bringing a bunch of, uh, people who are experts in sweetness, uh, including, uh, Claire Saffitz and Sam Seneviratne, uh, amazing sweet dessert people.

Um-

... isn't an answer

...

Look out, because soon, very soon, the most horrifying monster menace ever conceived will be oozing into this theater.

What's behind this anti-ooze attitude? It might have to do with the fear adults have for their own bodies.

Hey.

Especially the slippery bits that make it function.

Ew.

Adults often freak out hearing words like saliva- Ugh ... snot- Ugh ... mucus.

Ugh.

[laughs]

[upbeat music]

Okay, chef, I think it's safe to say that the entire world is obsessed with your elaborate chocolate sculptures.

[audience cheering] [audience applauding] Uh, La Liste recognized you as the world's most creative pastry chef.

You have billions of views on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, that in addition to your Netflix show.

But more important than all of that is that you are part of my four-year-old's bedtime routine.

And knowing that I don't party, I don't drink, uh, I didn't think Vegas would be really home for me, but I found that in reality, the extravagance from Vegas was a perfect pairing with my ability to craft wonders.

Right.

Right.

Thank you.

David, this feels miraculous.

Uh, like, you're, you're telling me that there are dying people waiting for a drug to be discovered, but actually they can just go down to their corner pharmacy and there's, there might be a cure for them at an affordable price?

But these opportunities that are there, we can help a lot of people, but in the current system, there's just no incentives to do it.

Uh, one of the other interesting things to me, I studied the history of medicine, and what's so interesting is for a lot of history, medicines were cure-alls, right? Like the 19th century patent medicine that was, like, for your indigestion and your infertility and your da-da-da-da-da.

And then so much of modern medicine was evidence-based, targeted ther-

Thank you.

Incredible.

Thank you, Jenny.

I feel like when I buy avocados, and then I bring them home, and then I blink, and they are rotten.

Yeah.

Wow.

And, uh, and when you're spraying things that don't have a shell, uh, d- does it have a taste or does it have a smell or anything?

I would say we're getting close to 50%.

Wow.

Um, can you differentiate between things that have, like, Instagram or TikTok filters or Photoshop versus fully AI-generated images?

Don't do it.

Okay.

Um, last one, most important one.

Um, in CSI crime shows, when they say enhance, uh, can you do that?

Tell us what makes goats the goat.

For today's debate, don't think of me as Latif.

Think of me as Goatif, because I've joined a goat herd.

(instrumental music playing) I strapped on a pair of horns, pranced out to a pasture, and now I'm one with the goats.

(goat bleating) You said it, Gertrude Stein, goat life is the best.

No jobs, no homework, no stress, no mess.

Well, I mean, actually tons of mess, um, because me and my GFFs love to roll around in dust and soil as a way to clean ourselves.

Let's hear your goat-inspired letter to the editor.

And if they slipped and fell down a hill, they'd technically be sledding.

But to find out what creature this really was, Natalia would need to find way more bone fragments.

So for years, summer after summer, she kept going back to that exact spot.

Just like...

Just looking, is anything coming up? And she finds more and more pieces of this ancient bone.

30 fragments.

It's all these rusty little chips.

If we think about the future in a much hotter Earth with drought and these unexpected weather changes.

And my concern is that we're not talking about this.

And when I heard that, that was, that was b- that was breathtaking and horrifying.

And honestly, like, I haven't been able to stop thinking about that number, three percent.

It sounds like a specific thing, but also it's k- it's kind of abstract and mathy, and I wanted help.

I wanted help to parse this out.

Like, how bad is that really? How bad could that possibly be? And so I turned to someone whose job it is to literally make sense of this exact kind of thing.

And it sounds like-

And the thing that she was most concerned about was that energy is just so wrapped up in all these different parts of our lives, basically everything we do, and it has these huge effects on the environment.

And Brooke

says this is the important thing to pay attention to.

Not so much whether you're intruding on someone's privacy or not.

But rather, what better informs the people and what is a distraction? Because in the years that followed from Bill Clinton's sex scandals to George W.

Bush, whether he used cocaine in the past to Barack Obama's tan suit, the press constantly erred on the side of coverage, more information.

But also with it, maybe more distraction.

The aperture on what was worth talking about kept opening wider and wider until Trump came on the scene and the press pretty much started covering everything and anything about him.
