Ah we know the Himmlers from Co. Mayo, lovely family, keep to themselves a lot, always seem to holiday in Argentina for some reason
Excellent comment hahaha 👏🏻👏🏻
Don’t they live just across from the goebbles from devon?
@@danieladamson3690 No but a good guess. They'd get along well enough with the Goerings of Donegal.

I love watching my favourite Irish comedian, Dara O Himmler.
"I've got a little mustache... she's tied to the railway lines..." 😂😂
If it was southern rail you would have 6 hours before the next train
I've never seen comedy dealing with environmental issues, glad I found this!
Oh bore off!
It tends to pass unnoticed, but his delivery and timing is superb. :-)
Yeah, I thought he was just an ever-present exotic dancer, I never noticed any delivery, let alone timing.
Grossmutti Himmler :)) ....cheers from Germany!
Clever, informative and funny : my kind of comedy ! That was awesome : I love me some Dara 🤗
Yes, I love listening to Dara. I discovered him watching Would I Lie To You episodes on various TH-cam channels. A great discovery for me He always makes me laugh plus he is intelligent.
asimov wrote about the resource crisis of helium back in the 60s. glad to see the government's of the world taking scientists more seriously nowadays

You people are stupid. If people didn't listen to scientists still, you morons wouldn't be alive.
I love the way he engages the audience...
We need new shows of this man
Omg, a fresh Dara video. Nice!
We need more Dara Ó Briain!
Hey! I'm glad someone out here is talking about the helium issue. It really is a problem, gotta stop getting helium balloons and whatever else we can do to help with this. It's a finite supply and it's rapidly being used.
It's no longer a problem!
@@barmanitan Isn't it?
I still want my shark 🦈 with a pirate hat balloon 🎈
@@barmanitanIt is still a problem, just the problem's been delayed by the discovery of new helium fields. But once that runs out we're back where we started.
Much like with oil, this is a problem that's never going away, but can be eventually delayed.
@@theblackwidowerwe can turn plastic back into oil, can't we?
They need to research Gru's family tree☺
Or megabus guy
Are u implying that Dara and Gru are related? Cuz I think you’re absolutely right hahah
Fortunately, no one knows my first pet's name was Snuffles.
Wait.
Oh shit...
ChrisC i would have thought you were a tough kid with a bulldog named ben
@@Falkano yea, Benjamin was the dog's first name, Snuffles was it's middle name
He shook his head 'No', that random "ambassador" guy in the audience.
Wow. He has legs. And can stand. Coming off of a MtW binge, I was kinda wondering.
You should see his video game character impression in one of his other shows. And his Latin Dance from the end of it.
Dara can't walk? Nonsense! We all know the only reason he always sits is so the desk covers his otherwise nude lower half.
He also swears a lot more...!
It is a disappointment that he wasn't revealed to become the new Davros.
He can walk, but doesn't since he can ride on MegaBus for free to wherever he is headed.
💛 this mans comedy ❗️💕 🤪🇨🇦
There's a few things wrong with Dara's telling of Phineas Gage's situation, but foremost among them is this: the tamping rod was fired _clean through_ Gage's skull, and landed some 30 feet away. His coworkers thought he surely must be dead, but he simply got up as if nothing had happened
wow that sounds intense
Gage also eventually recovered from the initial personality changes. He was basically a proto-Wolverine.
Na, he sat up is all. But he didn't even loose consciousness!
@@copasetic1not what I read in Antonio Demasio's book on neuroscience. He said Gage never went back to his former happy, hardworking, reliable self, lost his fiancé and ended up a vicious drunk.
And I wouldn't have been able to enjoy a moment without you correcting him... wait! I did! And it really didn't matter. 🤣🤣

From the version of the story I’ve heard Cage was tamping explosives in a hole in preparation of blasting and triggers the explosives prematurely.
You're correct, it was from tamping explosives in preparation to blast rock to make a cut for the railbed, not to pin down the tracks.

If I remember correctly, Helium is a byproduct of fusion power. If they can solve that problem, there will be more Helium.
(They say they are close to solving fusion power... but I think this is from the same reports they give to their investors... so we'll just have to wait and see.)
we've been close to fusion power for 50 years :D
@@Gieslly But they believe they have reached and passed Q20. That's new. I hope they are right... we'll see.
(q is the ratio between power in:power out. 20 has been the rate it is considered successful. I guess there is a lot of power lost somewhere along the way.)
@P A At that point it might be cheaper to simply get it from space. There is a lot of helium on the moon for example.
We are about 20 years from commercially viable fusion energy generation; have been for the past 45 years or so...
@@JBinero No, it would not. Helium comes from the Sun on solar winds and gets trapped in the regolith. What you've read about it on the Moon is that there is a higher concentration of its isotope, Helium 3, on the Moon. Getting helium or its isotope from regolith is a megaproject on such a scale... I mean, you'd need mining and refining facility to process thousands upon thousands of tons of regolith for a miniscule amount of gas.
People are talking about it for aneutronic fusion (second generation fusion fuel) because you don't need much of it, but for industrial use? No, it would be a huge waste.
Thumbs up for saying "damped" rather than "dampened".
He's like the Lord Mayor of comedy, so I hear...
I think of him more as the Fat Controller

So how do you make a joke about an element for goodness sake? (The second one on the periodic table - one of my personal favourites.) Well Dara did it. Really clever stuff.
And we are running out of helium which will be a bit of a problem.
Nuclear fusion is the only real way to produce helium. You can't use nuclear fission (what happens in power plants, atomic bombs, and radioactive waste) because you need to put more energy into the reaction than you're getting out if you're doing it on that side of iron.
So the only way to do it is nuclear fusion, which we're working on. If current theories hold up and engineers find economical ways to build these massive reactors, they might just replace nuclear power (the main advantage of nuclear fusion is that, when something goes wrong, the reaction just stops).
And the best part is, the foundation of nuclear fusion would by hydrogen - positively the most common element in the universe.
What we really need is a "how?".
Just like to say how lovely it was to have this clip interrupted by 3 adverts lasting twenty seconds long for Guiness. Now, I do like stouts. My opinion is that Guiness is not my favourite Stout. Red Dragon stout is my current favourite: I much prefer Red Dragon stout over Guiness. The taste of Guiness isn't something I enjoy. So you can imagine how much I enjoyed hearing a very irritating advert for Guiness, 3 times. Advice to the marketing bods at Guiness: 1) Make a short funny advert that makes me laugh---don'tuse irritating music. 2) Get the recipe changed to make it taste much better, so I might want to buy some Guiness. I'm off to drink some Red Dragon stout.
The use of helium has really ballooned over the last few years. 🙄
very goood, sme of us we care for this world:)
he actually did that BBC show about his ancestor! ))
So they found documents for the Himmlers then?
No he didn't.

Also everyday chemical analyses like Gas Chromatography that is used to test all sorts of chemicals.

Helium is no longer going to run out any time soon!
Don't listen to this while drinking wine.
We can make Helium. It's called a _fusion reactor_
- In 60 years, I would hope we have those, and thus we can have tons of helium as well.
We do have fusion reactors, just not efficient ones
@@sierra1513 XDXD sure, but I don't think anyone would ever consider those for commercially making helium. XD - It would be cheaper to bring it from Saturn, or even starlift it. :D
Working fusion reactors have been just 10 years away for about 50 years now.
We can also make it with a fission reactor. The helium we dig out of the ground was formed there by alpha decay.
@@petertaylor4980/videos Cool! I never thought of that, but it does make sense...
To add a buzzkill to the buzzkill video... The helium problem isn't as bad as it used to be esimated to be, party balloons ren't even significant in terms of helium usage anymore.

Funny stuff, as always Dara, but there is no shortage of helium. The only reason there has been a shortage of readily available helium is because the US government stopped stockpiling it (left over from the cold war and the nuclear arms race) and started selling it off because it was a waste of money to maintain the stockpile. We spew piles of helium into the atmosphere as waste gas when mining and capturing natural gas daily. Why? Because there has been no money in bothering to keep it after it is filtered out. We are once again starting to capture some helium because it is now just priced above the level of break-even and there is a small profit to be made in capturing it. But yeah, there is no shortage of helium on Earth, nor will there be for thousands of years at current consumption rates (most of the natural gas reservoirs in the USA and Canada contain 1%-1.5% helium).
It is a 'panic' story created entirely by media reporters who had no idea wtf they were talking about and it got latched onto by environmentalists looking for yet another bad story about human activity on the planet so it keeps being spread as misinformation.
He got the details of Phineas Gage wrong....
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage
We're not running out of Helium, just FYI. It's created by Fission, deep in the Earth, it's one of the particles that radioactive elements release when they decay. (In fact, one of the ways we detect Uranium is with a Helium detector. It makes a squeaky noise!)
Petroleum, on the other hand...
well by your logic, we're not running out of oil either, as it is made by organic matter deep in the earth. I think you missed some crucial data here ;)
@@wujekcientariposta We're not running out of fossil fuels, yet. We're approaching the point where the cost of finding, mining, and extracting it is greater than it's value as an energy source. We're running out of easy to get oil (Coal, Natural gas...) which is why we're resorting to more expensive methods like Fracking (Side effects may include earthquakes...) because it doesn't naturally float up through every permeable layer where we can detect it, like Helium does. You don't have to drill for Helium, like you do Natural Gas. It comes to you, on it's way out of the atmosphere, just like Radon does.
Just FYI, I worked with petroleum, and other mineral companies, including around Amarillo, where we used Helium detectors to find Uranium deposits.
@@Psiberzerker Ah, at last an expert I can ask. Someone with knowledge and experience in the petroleum industry. Here is my question: what EXACTLY is the FUCKING DIFFERENCE between "running out" and "it's too expensive to extract, purchase, and use"?
@@ericminch Ooh, okay, tough one. It really depends on the For Profit industry. That's the difference: When are we willing to resort to renewable resources? When Fossil Fuels become too expensive to extract, refine, and distribute. When is that exactly? If you can answer that one before hand, you can clean up on the Commodities market.
Lmao
If medical people are still using MRI machines in 60 years time there will be plenty of things to worry about other than the lack of helium.

whats that joke about this moms family tree ?
I guess the fact that his mom's name appears to be Himler, which is the name of a high ranking nazi (Heidrich Himler). I might be wrong
@@nataliecohen808 thanks , makes sense
@@nataliecohen808 Heinrich Himmler, not Heidrich. I guess you conflated Himmler (head of the SS) with Heydrich (another Nazi war criminal).
And this is why you should pay attention in history class. (Yes, to understand jokes. No other reason.)
ireland was neutral during the second world war (because it was a war aginst england and they were irish who had their own issues with england), as a result many nazis fled there after the war to avoid going to prison for war crimes and were allowed in by the irish government of the time .... point of this joke is he knows about the history of his country and people

Helium is a product of beta decay of Hydrogen3 and alpha decay of uranium (16 stages until finally it forms lead) so it is not really that rare.
Torgrim Hanssen but stable helium is. It’s like saying we can turn lead into gold. We can, but it’s certainly not stable
@@pivinne5536 quite sure it is stable, all unstable variations are byproducts of high energy events (He-5 trough He-9) or as a semi fused product / beta decay of deuterium (He-2)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-4
alpha decay of heavier elements.
It transpired that, under true nuclear transmutation, it is far easier to turn gold into lead than the reverse reaction, which was the one the alchemists had ardently pursued. Nuclear experiments have successfully transmuted lead into gold, but the expense far exceeds any gain.[10] It would be easier to convert lead into gold via neutron capture and beta decay by leaving lead in a nuclear reactor for a long period of time.
This is exactly what I thought was one of the most amazing features of Chemistry. The ability to recreate an element/compound by forcing electrons/other atomic structure onto of off of another element/compound. I fully understand that efficiency of process and stability of products is always in question, but those are always features regardless of whether a particular element/compound is naturally occurring or not.

😷👍
I mean, there could be other elements that have been used up. Because how do we know it exists if there isn’t any of it for us to find?
I think it's because they are ordered as by their atomic number, hence why he said "gap", (like hydrogen being 1, helium being 2, carbon being 3 etc.), its best to look it up though, Im no chemistry expert.
@@DhruvaDevOnline Expert or no, you are correct. Elements were predicted because of gaps in the periodic table, but since there are no longer any gaps (except it's theoretically open at the high end), we can be pretty confident there aren't any unknown elements. Except of course unobtainium.
10:46 er, i don't think helium whizzes off into space, i think that notrogen and oxygen are different densities but they mix because of turbulence, and likewise gasses like hydrogen, helium etc don't just fly off into space, but mix until they are entirely dissipated. if you keep helium in a balloon, yeah, sure, off to space it will head, but release it as a gas and it dissipates out all over the planet. so yes, it's gone. but not to space.
If helium wasn't affected by other factors, then yes, it would simply float up and accumulate at high altitude. However, Earth experiences e.g solar and polar winds, which continuously remove lighter molecules from the atmosphere. There's an article on Wikipedia titled "Atmospheric escape" that describe additional processes through which this could happen. So, unfortunately no, helium does escape into space and is currently non-renewable.
It’s a joke…

The helium used for things like balloons is not of sufficient quality to be used in a MRI machine so there is no conflict of using helium for fun stuff like balloons. The problem is that helium balloons mustn't be released into the environment as they pose a serious danger to wildlife and the foil ones can bring down power grids.
Really? What about 1000 helium balloons? Would that be enough?
@@theblackwidower Nothing to do with the quantity. The BEST QUALITY helium is used in medical scanners, the inferior quality stuff is not good enough for that task so it can be used to fill balloons.
@@sandormccann2546 Ah, misread. But that just means it's not refined enough. I'm sure iif we had the will, we could use it for MRIs, or save it until we can, instead of just throwing it away.
@@theblackwidower Sorry but how do you refine something that consists of a single atom? I have no idea how you can have low quality helium but that is what the scientists say. We will probably replace everything in time anyway and no longer need helium for scanning at all. Some A.I. will create a new system.
It was a joke. It's not meant to be taken literally.

We have Who Do You Think You are In America, and it does seem like our celebrities have more interesting family histories. But that’s because our ancestors left their countries behind, a process which shakes up lives in substantial ways, and, since there was a smaller pool of people initially and it later covered the continent, it was easier to become successful in the more egalitarian and less aristocratic society during and after the colonial period, and our ancestors could more easily move around, find job opportunities, and marry people from different parts of the country. So there’s a substantial difference if you’re Ashley Judd, and your ancestors were on the Mayflower and your relatives are country stars, than if your Dara O’Briain, and your ancestor probably did nothing but farm in the same county from the time of the Normans to the 1920’s.

Why does dara do this boisterous to literally whispering so quietly i cant make it out at max volume and then suddenly shouting the punchline.
I get that is a crowd work thing but crowd work is for people who are incompetent and have to get the crowd to pull this panto bs and fill up the time. Dara is way too funny to be this hard to watch. I am not expecting completely not addressing people but stop asking direct questions. They are stupid and not entertaining, im amazed that they don't ever say "i didn't buy a ticket to listen to barry the illiterate plumber and he didn't go here to chitchat".
The good jokes are made bad because the setup is inaudible when you are talking like 2 girls talking trash about their friends at the party, then you shout what clearly would have been funny had i heard the setup which is too long because the audience member is stupid and not been defened by the punchline. Every single joke you have where you are not trying to use the awful delivery its way better, people are social creatures and they laugh at a punchline harder if they dont understand but can tell by context that they should laugh, just add a pause like an irish obama because the good jokes run together and people are not sure they should laugh
