A compilation of sound checks reveal the answer to a question you probably never bothered to ask... More behind the scenes science at www.test-tube.org.uk/
+Felipe A. Barretto Bran is thought of as a really bland cereal (it's essentially just grain) so normally people add fruit to make it nice. So a pessimist is someone who puts bland bran flakes onto fruit (prunes in this case)
My journo school teaches us to use the same question when testing sound. It gives the subject something to actually say (rather than 'say something') and breaks the ice a bit - helps them to relax and appear more like themselves, which isn't always easy on camera.
Sincerely thank you for this video. It really shines a light on the personality of the scientists that we’ve come to know. Taking them out of their professional mindset and putting them into a somewhat more personable light really humanizes this channel. Amazing work and I’m sure I speak for most people who subscribe when I say; having little breaks of this type of content would be thoroughly enjoyable.
The diet of a scientist. 1.wakey wakey juice 2.cornflake carbs..needs the energy to make explosions and manoeuvre away swiftly. 3. Evening protein.. To recover from the daily manoeuvres and shrapnel dodging.
Love it! Normal everyday chatter like this helps bring science more comfortably into the lives of non-scientists I would think...great idea to post this.
CrunchyNut Cornflakes with Cornflakes and Bananas plus Branflakes, Muesli, Toast ,,,, The NEW English Brekky...lol Not forgettingToast, withTea and/or Coffee :) Great sound-checks out-takes :) :) :) Cheers, James :)
In New Zealand we don't have Weetabix, but we do have Weetbix. And i have no reason to think they're any different. To answer your questions, they are not very good on their own, but really good with fruit or yogurt or something like that
You guys are all missing out...I start everyday with a coffee/choc/banana protein shake. Fill blender with 1/3 strong cold coffee, splash soy vanilla milk in (maybe 3/4 cup) toss in a banana (peeled lol) then add 2 scoops of vanilla soy/whey protein powder...blend..add a half tray of ice..blend again... The whole process takes about 3 mins max!
a bowl of either old fashioned raw uncooked oatmeal with rice milk and a diced apple or boiled quinoa and goji berries with rice milk. Provides long lasting energy for up to 5 hours.
For those of us who don't have umlaut keys on our keyboards, it's "muesli". :) If you don't have umlauts, the accepted alternate spelling is to take the vowel and add an e after.
What did you have for breakfast?......""Crunchy nut cornflakes" "Crunchy nut cornflakes?" "I did!" "I like that;)" "Me too" 4:07 AKA Scientists flirting XD
Good to see someone is like me, and can't eat breakfast. Makes me nauseous if I eat too soon after I get up. It's like my stomach is still asleep, and introducing food to it before it's awake just gets it all upset.
a warm meal? Here in Scotland, a 'traditional' breakfast - before everyone had to rush out at stupid o'clock for work- women would make, Bacon, Fried Eggs, Mushrooms, Potato Scone, Sausage, Black Pudding and Fruit Pudding (flat patties of oats and sheeps blood and suet with raisins respecitvely- look them up they are delicious) sometimes hash cakes and beans depending and of course TOAST! lol. The English breakfast is slightly different. LOVELY. especially when hungover...with IRN BRU. mmmmm
Luckily they don't say: A hot, brown mixture of dilute solution of theobromine and a few types of alkaloids, water and saturated long-chained carboxylic acids. mixed with some glucose and a white mixture of water and some unsaturated and saturated carboxylic acids while they are trying to say hot chocolate. :P
3:09 "I had a bowl of rice crispies microwaved for 1 min 30." "WHAT!!" *Brain explodes*
Well, how else are the marshmallows gonna melt?
I conclude that cornflakes consumption is directly linked to being a scientist :P
3:21 u wot m8?
We'll never know what Neil eats for breakfast....
He eats nothing. He is a cyborg.
he eats *spicy* wings, apparently
Neil eats 3 sticks of enriched uranium for breakfast every morning.
@@k.c.lejeune6613 LOL. Mmn yellow cake with milk keeps you warm all day in winter
"Microwaved for 1 minute 30" "...WOT" bahahaha
"Brought to you by Kellogg's" :P
"I had a bowl of rice crispies microwaved for 1:30." "What?!" I love how genuinely shocked he sounded. I was thinking the same thing.
"you know the definition of a pessimist is someone who puts bran on their prunes"
+beepybeetle that's so british I don't understand it
+Felipe A. Barretto Think of digestion and what prunes do to you as well as what bran does to you :)
+nicosmind3 What does bran do, exactly?...
Bromigo Poe Well both brand and prunes are meant to help you go to the toilet, i think. Not part of my usual conversation
+Felipe A. Barretto Bran is thought of as a really bland cereal (it's essentially just grain) so normally people add fruit to make it nice. So a pessimist is someone who puts bland bran flakes onto fruit (prunes in this case)
Remember kids, if you want to be a scientist, eat your cornflakes! Lol!
"I had a bowl of rice crispies microwaved for 1 minute 30"
- the 4th coolest cameraman in england
"Cornflakes. Packet was empty, I had to open a new packet."
"Oh, that must to be exciting!"
:)
[Goes out to buy Corn Flakes]
Gavin Grant No, Bran Flakes!
+Christopher Thompson And prunes!
Nighthawke70 :D
0:42 a wild Gengar appears
Rice crispys microwaved for a minute 30. I want to try that now. Lol
I don't think scientists are morning people. Is it just me or does anyone else sense the grumpiness in this video?
+Jossie Mime you haha, I definitely sense the grumps
My journo school teaches us to use the same question when testing sound. It gives the subject something to actually say (rather than 'say something') and breaks the ice a bit - helps them to relax and appear more like themselves, which isn't always easy on camera.
Corn Flakes, the breakfast of scientists!
1:27 - it is the way you are going to talk to me? XD
"how loud"
He sounds angru

Mental note: If I have kids, they shall have corn flakes for breakfast...
"I had a weaker scientist - as usual..."
Some of the hardest questions ive heard Brady ask yet!
Lesson: Chemists don't eat enough protein in the morning.
Meh, slow releasing energy in the form of complex carbohydrates is more important in the morning than protein. Save that for dinner!
The diet of a scientist.
1.wakey wakey juice
2.cornflake carbs..needs the energy to make explosions and manoeuvre away swiftly.
3. Evening protein.. To recover from the daily manoeuvres and shrapnel dodging.
"The definition of a pessamist is someone who puts bran on their prunes" Brilliant
3:15 What????
Great video man! I like it a lot... make more "behind the scenes" stuff :)
Atomic physicists eat fission chips.
Fascinating! More videos like this? I'd love to hear the professors' comments on the weather.
Lol, the suggested things to buy at the end of the video popped up and suggested bran flakes.
@zakyb1: We've already done 400 videos across nottinghamscience, periodicvideos and sixtysymbols... I'd be impressed if you knew everyone!
I thoroughly enjoyed this
This was hilarious! Good job guys.
Love it! Normal everyday chatter like this helps bring science more comfortably into the lives of non-scientists I would think...great idea to post this.
i love outtakes ^^
this was 12 years ago omg im gonna need a part 2
Wait was that Gengar?
it was bulbasaur
Professor Poliakoff is sooo shy when he needs to talk about himself :)
Adorable!
0:54
I'm so glad someone else has said this
Glad to see everyone is staying regular :)
I love how you have Martyn trained: at 3:52 you say you're going to check the sound and he immediately starts talking about his breakfast, lol.
Almost half a decade on and i'm still watching this
lots of constipated people in england apparently, I find that rather unsurprising...
cornflakes makes you constipated?
2.13 Reminds me of Jemaine from flight of the conchords.
'I had to open a new packet '.'That must have been exiting' hahaha
That was the greatest moment of my day.
i agree with ya buddy.
i gonna steal the question as ice breaker
3:13
I love him... he's like "No you tell me what YOU had for breakfast"
" I had a bowl of rice krispies microwaved for one minute thirty." "WOTTTTT"
"Is that how loud your going to talk to me when I interview you?"
i loved the professors response 3:44 "cornflakes... -_-"
@Tentacleed Like the person said "What?" I had the same reaction
3:20 took the word right out of my mouth
Yes.. You are unique..
"I think the English breakfast is a great invention, just not at breakfast time" Couldn't agree more.
CrunchyNut Cornflakes with Cornflakes and Bananas plus Branflakes, Muesli, Toast ,,,, The NEW English Brekky...lol
Not forgettingToast, withTea and/or Coffee :)
Great sound-checks out-takes :) :) :)
Cheers,
James :)
4:20 i like how proud he looks as if he once ate 3 but now he can eat 4.
"I had to open a new packet"
"Oh that must have been exciting!"
Funny stuff! :)
Are Weetabix good? I'm from the US, so never had the pleasure of trying them.
Where can we buy that periodic table cup from?
"I had a bowl of ricecrispies microwaved for a minute thirty"
"what?"
haha
"i had a bowl of rice crispies microwaved for 1 minute 30"
"wHAT"
0:55 THANK YOU!! I'm not the only one then! ^_^
3:12 LOL!
In New Zealand we don't have Weetabix, but we do have Weetbix. And i have no reason to think they're any different. To answer your questions, they are not very good on their own, but really good with fruit or yogurt or something like that
why was that part so damn funny XD

The whole process takes about 3 mins max!
I had 3 bowls of Quisp cereal with hempmilk poured on it... and then I had a large peppery pickle for the breakfast desert...
Got to love how he tricked them into talking about what they had for breakfast for a video!
Nice Bismuth sample at 4:05.
a bowl of either old fashioned raw uncooked oatmeal with rice milk and a diced apple or boiled quinoa and goji berries with rice milk. Provides long lasting energy for up to 5 hours.
are the rice crispies in milk when you microwave them?
6.023 power 24 circular rings converges to flakes and cereal.
That Gengar at 0:43 was so random I did not know how to react.
For those of us who don't have umlaut keys on our keyboards, it's "muesli". :)
If you don't have umlauts, the accepted alternate spelling is to take the vowel and add an e after.
I love em lol,
2:20 I think he had an Irishcoffee too xD
3:53 Never realized before how much Poliakoff sounds like Salad Fingers.
Corn flakes?!
What's wrong with cornflakes? I had cornflakes this morning
It's apparently what scientists eat for breakfast.
@@N0M4dIC1RSTyea cornflakes are boring and flavourless just like scientists
this video is surprisingly funny haha
What did you have for breakfast?......""Crunchy nut cornflakes" "Crunchy nut cornflakes?" "I did!" "I like that;)" "Me too"
4:07
AKA Scientists flirting XD
1:33 HELLOO SCIENCE!
Good to see someone is like me, and can't eat breakfast. Makes me nauseous if I eat too soon after I get up. It's like my stomach is still asleep, and introducing food to it before it's awake just gets it all upset.
@ 2:13 it is McLovin
Professor Bowley pulled a Lil Jon at 3:20 heh!
0:42 Dr Anne Green. I don't think I've ever seen her without purple somewhere on her. Hence the Gengar, lol.
They'd probably regret asking me this question
Is the man at 4:21 related to one of the women in the Bibledex videos?
a warm meal? Here in Scotland, a 'traditional' breakfast - before everyone had to rush out at stupid o'clock for work- women would make, Bacon, Fried Eggs, Mushrooms, Potato Scone, Sausage, Black Pudding and Fruit Pudding (flat patties of oats and sheeps blood and suet with raisins respecitvely- look them up they are delicious) sometimes hash cakes and beans depending and of course TOAST! lol.

Crunch nut cornflakes are where it’s at!
Gengar is the purple pokemon
You know that someone knows about what he's talking about when he looks like 0:33, those are the teachers I trust the most. :D
This made me hungry.
1:26 Is that how loud you are going to talk to me when im interviewing?
Check the breakfast hours of any major restaurant and I assume 6-11 is breakfast hours.
What a funny question to ask. Haha.
Luckily they don't say: A hot, brown mixture of dilute solution of theobromine and a few types of alkaloids, water and saturated long-chained carboxylic acids. mixed with some glucose and a white mixture of water and some unsaturated and saturated carboxylic acids while they are trying to say hot chocolate. :P
2:18 is so cute
I had a bowl of rice crispies microwaved for 1 ....
WHAT?!
Love his reaction. But now I have to now what microwaved rice-crispies taste like
2:18 steven hawking childhood no hard feelings lol
