On this episode of Safety Third, Nigel recounts getting fat, Kevin nearly kills himself, and William drags Allen Pan out of his basement and in front of a camera.
It is the most effective way to gain weight for underweight 18 year olds like him at the time, and it worked. If he was also doing his FAHVE's like Mark Rippetoe told him to do, he would be big and strong like a lorry right now.
Alan: "Nigel, you are completely different person than how you come off in your videos." Nigel in his videos: "...but there wasn't enough solvent, so I just added more until I thought it was right."
I feel exclusive being subbed to this channel. You gotta get Peter and Nile to promote this to all the boomers that watch their channels. Case in point my dad loves Nile’s videos because he’s a chemist, pure boomer material.
I absolutely love listening to Nigel's weird things, it reminds us he's just a regular guy like all of us, and we all have "skeletons in the closet" :) Cheers to him and all of the crew.
When I was 18 I also drank extreme amounts of ice tea. It was "sugarless peach ice tea" and there was a discount warehouse near me that sold 5x1.25 ltr bottles for a dollar. So my entire diet consisted of -boxes of nearly expired spinach from work -ultra monster energy drink -ice tea. Ended up getting really sick and called an ambulance, legit felt like I was dying and projectile vomited pure neon orange over my bed. Turned out I had a cluster of kidney stones that nearly killed me.
As someone who drank a gallon of chocolate milk every day for 2 years in highschool i can firmly say that im no longer able to process dairy but it was a good meal supplement at the time
I love hearing about Niles health stories and stuff because I have done pretty similar stuff and its nice to see someone who is successful and who I look up to go through similar stuff
I got lost in Tokyo once! I was wandering the city when my phone died and then it started raining like crazy. I pulled out a paper map in a panic and realized I was more than two miles from my hotel. Then the shitty paper map started dissolving. I knew roughly which direction to go, but after about a mile and a half of walking, my map was in shambles and barely readable. I knew I was close to my hotel, but had no clue which way to go. It was pouring, so no one was on the street to ask for directions. In the end, I had to go store to store looking for someone who spoke good enough English to give directions to a soaking wet confused white dude. That’s how I know I wouldn’t ever give up my ability to read for any amount of money. Imagine that being your daily experience if you go for a walk.
"I just can't throw it away!" I feel you, Willy. As Adam Savage once said "My accumulation would really be a problem if it wasn't the money from mythbusters"
I'm watching videos in 360p because my internet brokey and I'm almost outta data. This is the perfect content to watch in that resolution. Thank you for the content Willy.
I love listening to your stories, William gives this vibe of a physics teacher that is a bit reckless and is not sure what the experiment is about but does it anyways.
Nigel, you are talking about Hiroshima. Hiroshima is famous for raw fresh oysters, and another thing but that's not important here. And I must agree with you Nigel, I don't like oysters either, they just taste and feel too similar to snot.
Also the fact that if you are eating fresh raw oysters, you are eating live animals, biting into an animal while it is still alive is pretty fucked up. (And that is coming from someone that eats almost nothing but meat or animal products, dirty keto)
36:50 If it has some value, you can always give things away to other people for free! I know my area has an active group of sharing thing for free that I've gotten some cool things from. Things you may not care about anymore, other people may care about, and now you don't have to waste throwing stuff out.

A serious question I am a volunteer with Camp Quest Kansas City. We are discussing themes for next year, and having a robotics activity has been one of the ideas. Camp Quest is a gender inclusive secular STEM summer camp for kids 7-17 with an emphasis on humanist values. The kids there are like no other, it is an incredible experiance to be able to run a camp for them, and if anyone has an interest in it I highley reccomend you check it out, there are camps all over the country (and some international!). Would there be any way I could convince you guys to donate some stuff to us? It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, just some basic parts so that the kids can build a robot would be awesome. I know its a long shot to ask, but I figured there was no harm in giving it a shot!
Fun oyster fact - oysters don't have a complex enough nervous system to feel pain, so they probably wouldn't be screaming even if they could! They have something called nociception (like plants have) so they can detect negative stimuli, but they likely don't suffer any more than a tomato does.
There's no way to prove that they don't feel pain, we're not an oyster or a plant. They just don't have a nervous system capable of feeling pain as us humans perceive it
I had a huge amount of stuff that I collected over the years but couldn't really sell (everything from plasterboard, engine oil filters to capacitors). I found a makerspace/building charities/people that would take them from me - it was all gone in 3 hours, and I didn't even have to leave my house
I've noticed a lot of people that can never gain weight and stay super skinny are also the type that "forget to eat" and look at eating and food as a chore rather than a part of the day to look forward to. Also they almost always seem to be picky eaters as well.
57:23 zinc sulfide on silver is actually one of the most efficient materials at converting x-rays to visible light out there. It has quite a few big disadvantages compared to solid state scintillators like LYSO or CsI though. The effective atomic number is really low, so you need tons of the materials to actually absorb the x-ray you want to convert. And it's not very transparent to the light it emits, so you are very limited in the maximum thickness of the material (clashing hard with the last issue). Beyond solid state scintillators people are starting to use semi conductor detectors like cadmium telluride which don't need any conversion at all. X-ray detectors are a really cool field, at my university there are at least 2 groups working on them. It also has a very strong overlap with detectors for particle accelerators, so you constantly read the same names on CMS papers (part of the large hadron collider) as you do on papers regarding new detectors for PET scanners :) Maybe you should do a collab, NileRed makes some lyso, BackyardScientists melts the bulk and pulls a nice crystal and William Osman uses it to detect x-rays out of his tube :P I bet you folks are up to the task and you'd definitely do something no one on youtube has done before. The top two "LYSO" results on here are literally just spinning crystals probably linked on a shop somewhere... Oh and if that's too much effort, PMMA (plexi glass) is also a scintillator (though slightly shitty at it) with the upshot that it's "tissue equivalent" so if you use it to measure the dose rate in a place it converts super well to the dose a human would actually get there (hence why it's used a lot in radiotherapy for validation)
39:00 what? How slowly was he jogging? Walking at 3mph (quite brisk walking pace) on firm flat ground is 3.5 MET. Walking at 4mph on firm flat ground is 4-4.5 MET. Jogging at 4mph (13 minute mile) on firm flat ground is 6.5 MET. There's a massive difference. Not only that, jogging uses more muscles in larger ranges of motions.
When I was learning to weld I was taught "just because it isn't glowing doesn't mean it isn't hot". I've still grabbed shit I just finished welding though. Sometimes the brain, she no work so good. LOL
When I was 17 I accidentally GOMADed. I just really liked milk and would drink 4-5 gallons a week (so not technically GOMAD). I went from low 140’s to mid 180’s. I didn’t realize that I was fat until a friend took a picture of me on ladder from below and I saw how fat my face was. I didn’t stop though. I just switched to 2% and the weight gradually went away. A couple years later I went on a week long vacation and didn’t drink any milk on it. When I got back I was lactose intolerant. I still drink milk though, because it just made me gassy and I didn’t care if I stunk up my room. Today milk doesn’t effect me but cream cheese and sour cream and yogurt do.
I’ve got some experience/expertise: An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. You do not want to eat an alpha-emitter, but an alpha particle can be stopped by the layers of dead skin (Poorly penetrating.) Beta particles are electrons (or positrons), and take a bit more to stop. You’ve also got neutron radiation, which isn’t terribly hard to shield, as a neutron’s mean free path isn’t all that long, so they lose energy quickly. The higher end of the UV, X-rays, and gamma-rays are high energy photons. This is ionizing radiation, and will break chemical bonds in things like, say, your DNA. Various shielding materials exist, rated by tenth-thickness (The amount of material required to drop the rad flux to one-tenth of its unshielded value. This varies with the energy of the radiation.)
If you see the video from thought emporium, he shows that alpha particles can and do penetrate through animal skin at the thickness level of the dead outer layer of human skin.
You can get them in bags at any grocery store. they are just slightly smaller than the regular milk bags. That is in the GTA though I don't know where you are.
I just can't believe the fact that Nigel is talking about his history of like chugging a gallon of milk every day in an extremely serious manner and I'm just laughing my head off behind the screen
The Santa red suit existed and was popular for about 60 years before the Coca-Cola ad campaigns. Coke just wants to spread the rumor that they created it.
18:30 When I was 17, i weighed about 115 pounds and was told that i was drastically underweight and had to be put on a special diet and exercise routine. After two months, i had gained about 20-ish pounds and it seemed like the transformation was overnight. Like, it didn't feel or look like i was changing incrementally at all. Just one day, i looked less brittle and scrawny, and i looked more like my peers. So I TOTALLY get it when Nigel said "Oh my god, I'm fat..." in his story. When you're a teenager, your body is already going through enough physical changes as it is. Trying to micromanage and process differences in appearance in regard to weight changes is just not in the forefront of our minds at the time. Even if we are actively dieting and working on changing our appearance
(At least, this is what i've been told by various physicians and nutritionists that i had asked about it at the time. Who knows what the facts are 20-ish years later XD)
once i caught a soldering iron to prevent it from falling on myself, i heard my finger hiss before i felt the burning, it changed the way i work with these things forever
1:05:51 I'm sure that has been said to death in these comments already, but here's the rundown alpha radiation is a helium nucleus (not just a helium atom which is way larger--more than 99% of an atom is the space between it's electrons and nucleus) beta minus radiation is an electron (and an antineutrino) beta plus radiation is a positron (anti-electron, with a charge of +1 rather than -1) and a neutrino. gamma radiation is a gamma ray (i.e. light; a photon) there's also three other types of nuclear reactions--neutron emission (neutron released), electron capture (proton turns into neutron), and cluster decay (nuclei heavier than helium is released), however these are not too common
NileRed is absolutely right about radiation in Colorado. I used to live a several miles out from a good few of the mines and one of the mill towns used to be where a lot of the uranium used between the 30s and the 80s came from. There's definitely several weird spots around there that still emit radiation even though its been quite a while sine they've been cleaned up. There's also definitely been some weirder areas through the state where you wouldn't really expect to see a spike on a counter but you do. Though its only mostly been around some of the old mines and stuff where I've been out hiking with a Geiger counter. It's not something I've thought to bring along hiking when I'm not in the area much though. So I may not know exactly about the granite and stuff. Though I've definitely been out to a few places where as far as I'm aware there wasn't really any mines too near by and I could've sworn I could see a little bit of uranium in the rocks and soil. Going to some of the mining museums in Colorado was also really great. There's quite a few really cool things and some really great information on a lot of stuff.
53:20 Just made me remember when I was screaming at my mom while she's was about to try to take out a toast from the toaster with a metal fork, good thing sometimes my brain works.

The higher end of the UV, X-rays, and gamma-rays are high energy photons. This is ionizing radiation, and will break chemical bonds in things like, say, your DNA. Various shielding materials exist, rated by tenth-thickness (The amount of material required to drop the rad flux to one-tenth of its unshielded value. This varies with the energy of the radiation.)
If you see the video from thought emporium, he shows that alpha particles can and do penetrate through animal skin at the thickness level of the dead outer layer of human skin.
@@rdizzy1 Which video was that? I think I trust my Nuclear Power training, the NRC, IAEA, etc. a bit more but I’ll give it a watch.
Wait beta can cause activation?
@@loganbrown9553 No, I’m sorry, I wrote that in error. Not sure what I was thinking. Thanks for pointing that out.
Is it bad that I didn’t realize backdoor scientist wasn’t on camera until 9:40ish when the sick editing kicked in
As an Ontarian I've never seen chocolate milk in bags, only normal milk. Chocolate milk seems to exclusively come in cartons.
You can get them in bags at any grocery store. they are just slightly smaller than the regular milk bags. That is in the GTA though I don't know where you are.
He was 17 back then, so 14 years ago. Maybe it has changed?
Those markers that melt at specific temperatures are called Temp Sticks. They are used to confirm preheat temperatures when welding.
I really love these podcasts you guys should totally keep them up. I think I am almost out of pod casts to watch lol
These podcast's are amazing
This podcast might be the greatest thing to grace the internet.
You should have Ben from Applied Science in the podcast.
Nile Pink! Love your vids😂
This is amazing I can’t believe I forgot about this when I heard it mention before you guys are so relatable and actually understand what a podcast is
I just can't believe the fact that Nigel is talking about his history of like chugging a gallon of milk every day in an extremely serious manner and I'm just laughing my head off behind the screen
The Santa red suit existed and was popular for about 60 years before the Coca-Cola ad campaigns. Coke just wants to spread the rumor that they created it.
Weird flex by Coca-Cola, but okay.

When I was 17, i weighed about 115 pounds and was told that i was drastically underweight and had to be put on a special diet and exercise routine. After two months, i had gained about 20-ish pounds and it seemed like the transformation was overnight.
Like, it didn't feel or look like i was changing incrementally at all. Just one day, i looked less brittle and scrawny, and i looked more like my peers.
So I TOTALLY get it when Nigel said "Oh my god, I'm fat..." in his story.
When you're a teenager, your body is already going through enough physical changes as it is. Trying to micromanage and process differences in appearance in regard to weight changes is just not in the forefront of our minds at the time. Even if we are actively dieting and working on changing our appearance
(At least, this is what i've been told by various physicians and nutritionists that i had asked about it at the time. Who knows what the facts are 20-ish years later XD)
This may be a bit hyperbolic but, Canadian Florida man might be the greatest thing ever.
Whoever put that effort in, THANK YOU!
53:00 professional chef here.
We use to say that in kitchens: the moment you step through the door, you assume everything is hot.
once i caught a soldering iron to prevent it from falling on myself, i heard my finger hiss before i felt the burning, it changed the way i work with these things forever
1:05:51 I'm sure that has been said to death in these comments already, but here's the rundown
alpha radiation is a helium nucleus (not just a helium atom which is way larger--more than 99% of an atom is the space between it's electrons and nucleus)
beta minus radiation is an electron (and an antineutrino)
beta plus radiation is a positron (anti-electron, with a charge of +1 rather than -1) and a neutrino.
gamma radiation is a gamma ray (i.e. light; a photon)
there's also three other types of nuclear reactions--neutron emission (neutron released), electron capture (proton turns into neutron), and cluster decay (nuclei heavier than helium is released), however these are not too common
this is the best thing to happen to youtube
keep it up!
this one was by far the best I've seen so far. Incredible job!!
NileRed is absolutely right about radiation in Colorado. I used to live a several miles out from a good few of the mines and one of the mill towns used to be where a lot of the uranium used between the 30s and the 80s came from. There's definitely several weird spots around there that still emit radiation even though its been quite a while sine they've been cleaned up. There's also definitely been some weirder areas through the state where you wouldn't really expect to see a spike on a counter but you do. Though its only mostly been around some of the old mines and stuff where I've been out hiking with a Geiger counter. It's not something I've thought to bring along hiking when I'm not in the area much though. So I may not know exactly about the granite and stuff. Though I've definitely been out to a few places where as far as I'm aware there wasn't really any mines too near by and I could've sworn I could see a little bit of uranium in the rocks and soil. Going to some of the mining museums in Colorado was also really great. There's quite a few really cool things and some really great information on a lot of stuff.
New podcast! ITS A GREAT AFTERNOON
53:20 Just made me remember when I was screaming at my mom while she's was about to try to take out a toast from the toaster with a metal fork, good thing sometimes my brain works.
This is my favourite podcast
