We need to make this a more standard feature for cooperative workspaces or schools. It gets so annoying to see my cursor in the way when I'm trying to help a student edit or revise a doc, but they get confused by wherever I have the cursor sitting.
I was so happy to have video of their faces when Hank asked that question, and Sam's "I'm a 35 year old man Hank" was 100% "What the hell is he on about now??" 🤣
"you'll know that you're doing it right if it feels rigid and stiff in your mouth" "it's getting wet down there but no shooting is happening" Oops no context 😂
When we were kids, I asked my sister if she ever spit when she yawned, and she said no. Years later she admitted to me that she had lied to me. She admitted it because she had found out that gleeking was a normal thing and not weird.
The way I've always described/taught gleeking is, get your mouth producing more spit by licking all around your teeth, then once theres some spit happening quickly suck all the spit into your throat so theres no residual spit sitting in your mouth, continue the suction with your tongue against the roof of your mouth, then relax the suction without moving your tongue away from the roof of your mouth and the spit should come out. Sounds more complicated than it is in practice. The key is getting a lot of spit production happening, and not letting there be any reservoir of spit sitting in your mouth because it will block the freshly produced spit from shooting out.
I am in my 70's, and take medication at bedtime. One of the side effects is I wake up with my mouth and lips totally dry. My tongue is pasted to the roof of my mouth and my lips are glued to my teeth The saliva won't flow unless I sit up and take a sip of water. Very annoying!
Bicycle Hank? I'm trying to recall Hank's vibe way back when, with the plaid shirt and slightly scruffy face. It was a good look, like a grad student vibe
I have social anxiety and i tend to listen to smth when I'm outside. I remember listening to this episode in the park, looking at a bird house and a snow covered bush and laughing at you discussing gleeking
I can gleek basically "on command," but I don't put my tongue on the roof of my mouth, it's usually on the bottom, or slightly hovering. Putting it on the roof feels inefficient for my mouth. I can gleek to the sides (2 streams) or forward (1 stream). Ceri's description is correct for me, I'm just putting pressure on my glands (sublingual) by flexing my tongue, and I change the shape of my tongue slightly to guide the flow. Not something I really think about, just kind of instinctual.
I first saw gleeking in 7th grade. It was basically something only the boys in band class did, and they were obsessed with it, gleeking on each other in band or having contests on who could gleek the farthest before class. Particularly the saxes and trumpets, the real "bad boys" of band. For the life of me, I could not get my tongue to do this, and trust me, I TRIED! I just now asked my husband if he could gleek, and he asked "What's a gleek?" So don't worry, even a 47 year old man doesn't know what this is. Then I remembered, he went to private school, so maybe spitting like vipers at one another wasn't a thing for preppy boys.
Don’t worry Ceri, I don’t know what’s Glecking is either. But, when I was a kid, if someone dare spit anywhere close to me, I threw a wooden block at them. I was, very aggressive with manners.
For the trivia questions where the potential answers can span multiple orders of magnitudes, you should definitely judge by relative error instead of absolute numbers. Like Ceri was off by a factor of 12.5, Sam was off by a factor of 10, so Sam should win. Otherwise there's a strong incentive to pick a lower number, especially when your opponent aims really high.
I must of hung out with the bad kids. I never got bad at it, but had a friend who was deadly accurate. So that's why snakes get a bad wrap in the Bible. ;)
I was not aware that it was called gleeking and that it's an impressive skill for me to have. The way I do it is I start with my tongue back in my mouth and I just kinda jerk my tongue forward and up in my mouth. I kinda have to wait for the gland to refill in between so it's hard to do three times in a row without waiting like 20 seconds or so. Also I make a lot of space in my mouth by lowering my jaw. When I start with my tongue as far back as possible, I'm kinda stretching the muscles under my tongue as much as I can without hurting myself and it feels like that correlates to the precision of the gleek.
Among the things I did for science while in an asthma study at UCSF, one involved spitting in a cold tube (IIRC, maybe I have that backwards) for some reason I don't remember, along with getting my DNA for the study; and a "sputum induction," which technically was to get mucus from my lungs by inhaling salty mist, but try to do that without salivating like crazy and all you can do is spit it into the cup along with the phlegm. For science!
Side note: I share a birthday with Christopher Wren (today as I'm watching this, it so happens!). I knew him as the architect of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Thanks for ruining that. ;)
Amazing how grossed out we get with the idea of spit, which is so close in proximity to us. I mean, it's in our mouths.. all the time.. and yet we cringe at the idea of it.. we're so weird
So I’ve been watching Fresh Off The Boat recently and they talk about the dip kids and it looks like they’re chewing tobacco but I figured maybe it’s like Spaniards with pipas that are constantly husking seeds but then you talked about dip here and I looked it up and apparently it IS chewing tobacco. Are people really chewing that much tobacco in the US? Are children doing it? WTF?
"I'm a 35-year old man." Anybody can do cute! Don't limit yourself 💖
i'm just trying to toughen up my image!
Then may your newer, tougher image be a source of happiness 💖
Sam is pretty cute too 🥰
@@SciShowTangents says the one with a moomintroll in his background.... js
Sam is legitimately adorable.
As someone who doesn't make spit due to broken face nerves, I promise a wet face hole is much preferable to a dry face hole.
Funny how 7 months after this came out Hank joyfully grew his facial hair
"...and delight each other." Your cursor spot conversation delighted me. Thank you for that. It made me very happy.
We need to make this a more standard feature for cooperative workspaces or schools. It gets so annoying to see my cursor in the way when I'm trying to help a student edit or revise a doc, but they get confused by wherever I have the cursor sitting.
Oh 500%
9:50 I got these two
Hank: What's the cutest thing you do?
Ceri and Sam: I hate this thing at work.
🤣
I was so happy to have video of their faces when Hank asked that question, and Sam's "I'm a 35 year old man Hank" was 100% "What the hell is he on about now??" 🤣
the best part of this episode is the forced somatic response of your mouth watering every single time they talk about mouth watering

"you'll know that you're doing it right if it feels rigid and stiff in your mouth"
"it's getting wet down there but no shooting is happening"
Oops no context 😂
I usually just listen, but I decided to watch this episode for a change. What a great episode I picked to watch 😂
Same!
Me tooo!
When we were kids, I asked my sister if she ever spit when she yawned, and she said no. Years later she admitted to me that she had lied to me. She admitted it because she had found out that gleeking was a normal thing and not weird.
When I was in fifth grade, glee king was a stunt that we’d do to impress eachother and compete who could do it the furthest. We were so gross 😂
Even if he's 35, Sam is never beating the "cutie" allegations
"You should grow a moustache!"
Sam, are you psychic??!!
From the future...Hank currently has a moustache.
Why to I love this whole show so much
I feel like this isn't news from my brief after-episode check of social media, but ahhhh, Ceri's casual mention of her partner! I am delighted.
I had the same moment of uninformed delight!!!!
I am VERY aware of my spit now. Watching y'all try to gleek. 💚 You are ALL cute.
Sam is 35?! He looks like he has just escaped being a teenager. I need some of those genes!
So, if Hank grows a mustache than he can be Baked Bean Hank, like his brother is Pizza John.
The true origin of mustache Hank

see, hank should appreciate spit!
If mustachioed John is Pizza John, what would Hanks facial haired persona be?
now this is a great question.......

Sam’s fact off is a PBS Eons episode from a few months ago!
"I don't want to do that" is exactly what a robot would say! 😱
I rewatched this just so I could see Hanks heart with his fingers and the gleeking 🤣
I do just audio listening normally but did come over here to watch everyone trying to gleek, and I am not disappointed!
I have social anxiety and i tend to listen to smth when I'm outside. I remember listening to this episode in the park, looking at a bird house and a snow covered bush and laughing at you discussing gleeking
I propose that any "rewind" episodes published should instead be the unedited version of a previous show. This one for example is sure to fantastic.

This has been just excellent! Thank you so much!
This is one of the best episodes yet. I laughed and learned so much
Great episode, thanks dudes
I love productive fun brain tingly words. That's what your show is to me now.
As someone who can gleek on command, this episode is hysterical
Possibly the most random episode yet! Loved it!
Don’t worry Ceri, I don’t know what’s Glecking is either. But, when I was a kid, if someone dare spit anywhere close to me, I threw a wooden block at them. I was, very aggressive with manners.
Gleeking is alien to me! Fun episode ✨🎆
When I tell you that watching this while eating lunch was the weirdest sensation I've maybe EVER experienced... 😵

Well you can always pick one less or more than the other
I had also heard what Sam said about Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thorton. Cool about the Bower Birds' art.
If not a mustache, maybe a goatee to bring back Evil Hank? :D
Forget mustache, Hank needs to grow a goatee.
I must of hung out with the bad kids. I never got bad at it, but had a friend who was deadly accurate. So that's why snakes get a bad wrap in the Bible. ;)
BTW I love how weird/normal you guys are.

Don't worry Ceri, I'm as oblivious as you about gleeking (is that the word?). I'd never heard of it until now.
I don't know about this but I had a habit of forming (and floating) spit bubbles
My father can gleek on command by flexing his toungue backwards this exposes the gland and creates pressure somehow
I’m back and
35:05
this probably should get its own onlyfans account
I think Hank should bring back the old school scishow goatee.
I tell him this ALL the time
Brilliant!

If you put out a fire have you delighted a fire?
Seems right
Which cow? Elephant? Harp seal? Bovine?
If not a mustache, then sideburns! Preferably sideburns
I can gleek on command, always have been able too 😭, it’s not something you just learn
I have never gleeked either
Can't see anything but the tag on Hank's headphone cord 😳
Amazing how grossed out we get with the idea of spit, which is so close in proximity to us. I mean, it's in our mouths.. all the time.. and yet we cringe at the idea of it.. we're so weird
Tang Dynasty China did not have tobacco. What were they spitting? Betel Nuts?
I'm not wondering how we gleek, but rather is there a reason why we gleek? Is it an evolutionary adaption or just a weird thing going we do?
65 and have never gleeked…..but I have seen it.
Normalize cursor parts
Why wouldn't I want to ask a question with an ending like that?!
Someone pls link me to any gleek attempt gifs you find
Saliva is not spit until you spit it out.
No step on snek
29:20 this Hankflation is getting ridiculous
Great Episode deserves a 10/10, but NO cat so 5/10. Pip pip
i agree. i'm going to delete this episode!
@@SciShowTangents that’s a different podcast!
Can anyone else "milk," for lack of a better term, your sublingual glands?

Are people really chewing that much tobacco in the US? Are children doing it? WTF?
Oh my goodness, I’ve never watched a VIDEO tangents and it’s so WEIRD to be able to see faces to the voices! (But good weird)
I thought gleeking is a Japanese tourist visiting Athens.
