Summary
A vaccine against Alzheimer's has been developed in mice, and it could be the next big thing in memory loss treatment, but what does it actually work like? Plus, I swear a lot, which is probably not a good thing.

By the way, do you know why I always open a drawer
00:00:04.920
and take out my notes before I do the simultaneous ep?
00:00:09.220
It's not because, just because I don't remember it.
00:00:16.600
I'm seeing funny memes go by on the Locals platform.
00:00:26.460
So the Locals' comment stream is freaking hilarious
00:00:31.580
compared to the YouTube stream, which is just text.
00:00:36.540
But when you look at the Locals' feed, it's hard not to laugh.
00:00:41.800
All right, so the reason that I always do this,
00:01:01.800
So it's also a trigger, or a key, as we say in hypnosis.
00:01:12.700
it should put you immediately in the headspace.
00:01:16.900
to put you in the right frame of mind by repetition.
00:01:36.880
So this would not be the one that you want to share
00:01:44.400
Well, let's say children who are not familiar with swear words.
00:01:51.220
I'm pretty sure any kid under 14 or older is going to be fine.
00:01:55.920
And you probably shouldn't show this to anybody who's under 14.
00:01:59.580
But anybody over 14 has heard all the words, right?
00:02:02.860
By the way, have you ever heard 14-year-olds talk to each other?
00:02:13.360
But first topic is, I'll be swearing on the very next topic,
00:02:19.640
The very next topic, we'll have some anger and cursing.
00:02:25.780
But first, there might be an Alzheimer vaccination.
00:02:34.200
It could be on the horizon, because it's worked in mice.
00:03:16.000
a tank or a gel, just a dine, a canteen jug or a flask,
00:03:56.760
that works on animals that gives them their memory back.
00:04:00.880
Now, and the story goes on to describe exactly how they do it,
00:04:05.400
and it actually sounds like something that works.
00:04:10.820
and they reproduced a, well, they created a vaccine
00:04:13.820
that operates directly against that memory loss element.
00:04:24.200
Number one, why are we calling this a vaccination?
00:04:33.080
Did you uncritically accept that this was a vaccination?
00:04:43.620
That doesn't sound like a vaccination, does it?
00:04:49.920
Well, I guess it could be used as a preventive,
00:04:55.760
they're thinking that maybe it might actually be a vaccination.
00:05:18.620
I think they're saying if you get the vaccination,
00:05:23.460
So you've noticed that the definition of a vaccination
00:05:49.480
but words have just started to drift in meaning,
