WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.220 Real quick in chat. Let me know. Do you know 00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:06.360 what corn sweat is? Don't Google it. Don't use 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.839 AI. Don't use Alexa. Let me know in chat right 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:11.000 now if you know what corn sweat is because we're 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.859 about to dive into it. So with all the recent 00:00:13.859 --> 00:00:16.859 Superman stuff, obviously the new Superman, the 00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:19.800 actor that plays Superman is played by David 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.399 corn sweat, which is a really funky like last 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.679 name, not spelled the same as corn sweat, but 00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:35.219 pronounced it. Um, but most people did not know 00:00:35.219 --> 00:00:37.939 corn sweat is a real thing and no, it is not 00:00:37.939 --> 00:00:42.659 a sex thing. My gosh. Stop with the corn all 00:00:42.659 --> 00:00:46.100 the time. All right. So let's dive into this. 00:00:46.420 --> 00:00:48.219 We're going to, we're going to, you did not know 00:00:48.219 --> 00:00:50.460 this was an educational thing. You know, Bill 00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:52.560 Nye, the science guy was born right here in Seattle. 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.179 Actually. I don't know if he is born here. He, 00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.950 I'll look at our career. Get to the corn in a 00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:03.350 nutshell, which I guess there's not a nutshell 00:01:03.350 --> 00:01:06.230 of corn, man. Should have thought that one out 00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:10.489 in a nutshell, though. Corn sweat refers to the 00:01:10.489 --> 00:01:14.769 process of corn plants releasing water vapor 00:01:14.769 --> 00:01:17.950 into the atmosphere through their leaves. A process 00:01:17.950 --> 00:01:22.760 called transpiration. This release of moisture 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.980 can contribute to increase humidity in the air, 00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:29.239 especially in areas with large corn fields and 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.379 can make it feel hotter and sticker stickier. 00:01:32.819 --> 00:01:37.120 Going deeper. What is transpiration? What is 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.140 that? So plants, including corn, absorb water 00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:43.420 through their roots and transported throughout 00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:47.219 their structure. Some of this water is used for 00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:51.739 photosynthesis. Um, but Much of is released into 00:01:51.739 --> 00:01:55.480 the atmosphere as water vapor through tiny pores 00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:00.000 called domata on the leaves. I don't know. I'm 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.459 not a herbologist. Probably that one. And then 00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:09.580 obviously humidity and heat. We understand this 00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:13.020 released water vapor increases the humidity of 00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:16.919 the surrounding air. When the air is humid, it 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.400 can make it can make it feel hotter. more uncomfortable 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.560 because the human's body ability to cool itself 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.960 through sweating is reduced. And where is corn 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.379 sweat an issue? So corn sweat is often used in 00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:36.219 the Midwestern United States, which is probably 00:02:36.219 --> 00:02:40.080 why I don't think a lot of people have ever heard 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.639 of this term out here in Seattle, because we 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:47.460 don't live around cornfields. But yeah, there 00:02:47.460 --> 00:02:50.479 you go. Supposedly it peaks in July and August, 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.060 which is when, when the new Superman movie came 00:02:55.060 --> 00:02:59.280 out, when the world was introduced to corn sweat, 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:06.240 AKA corn sweat, huh? Huh? Okay. So it is also 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.979 key to note. It's not just corn. All plants do 00:03:08.979 --> 00:03:13.599 this, but farmers near corn fields will experience 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.219 what's known as Corn sweat. There you go. That's 00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:19.620 how the cookie crumbles. You just learned something 00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:25.199 today. Go impress your friends. That's it. Roll 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.039 roll credits. So I have I have a couple of things 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.439 to say. One is that Jay just did three minutes 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.520 and 30 seconds on corn sweat, which is amazing. 00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:36.520 Right. So somebody please share this with David 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.960 corn sweat and see if he's heard of this term, 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.099 because I'm now curious whether he has. Also, 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.259 how long did it take you to put this into the 00:03:47.259 --> 00:03:52.360 run down today? It took me like maybe five minutes, 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.240 like of some some research, you know, looking 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.139 like, OK, how how can I very quickly kind of 00:03:59.139 --> 00:04:02.199 without boring people go into explaining corn 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.919 sweat like I don't need a dissertation on corn 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.780 sweat? But yeah, I would say probably like five 00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:13.409 minutes. I put it together. There you go. So 00:04:13.409 --> 00:04:17.149 now you have drawn. And wait, Superman is from 00:04:17.149 --> 00:04:19.509 the Midwest, from Kansas, where I believe they 00:04:19.509 --> 00:04:24.410 grow corn. Yeah. So there you go. There's your 00:04:24.410 --> 00:04:28.110 connections. And he fucking Bill Nided up, by 00:04:28.110 --> 00:04:29.769 the way, to answer the question from the beginning 00:04:29.769 --> 00:04:32.149 of the segment. No, Bill Nye was not born in 00:04:32.149 --> 00:04:34.550 Seattle. He was born in Washington, D .C. before 00:04:34.550 --> 00:04:37.250 he moved to Seattle. So he was born in the other 00:04:37.250 --> 00:04:40.910 Washington. Right. The bad Washington. Right? 00:04:41.509 --> 00:04:44.550 So, there you go. And now you've learned two 00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:46.790 things today. You've learned about corn sweat 00:04:46.790 --> 00:04:49.350 and where Bill Nye the Science Guy was born. 00:04:49.750 --> 00:04:52.610 So, you know what? You guys can take that to 00:04:52.610 --> 00:04:52.970 the bank.
