The truly fiting ending to the leaded gasoline story, is that the dude ended up semi-paralized from lead exposure, and died when the machine he built to get in/out of bed strangled him
@@psykomancer4420 He singlehandedly caused more damage to the environment than any other human in history. He actually really was a cool dude and made active efforts to fix the damage, but there's a reason he was called an environmental Genghis Khan in the mid-nineties.
@@psykomancer4420I think he rescinded any being called a nice person when he chose the anti knocking additive that was well documented before his time to be toxic because it would be cheaper than the alternatives. And then marketed it without mentioning the lead
My granddad likes to keep an open garbage can near his garage and he tells me it’s to collect rainwater. Considering he’s from the lead generation, I’m not going to bother explaining to him why it’s a bad idea.
Humans? You mean industrial capitalists. Four thousands of years humans were doing fine, it wasn't until industrialization that this shit happened AND the truth was hidden by companies, like studies done in the 70s by big oil companies that showed how messed up it was getting but decided to hide it to protect their profits.
@@jacobsmith4428 This is why the line at the end of Extra Credits' series on the South Sea Bubble always stuck with me when I heard it for the first time: "This is a good lesson. I hope we learn it someday." The major issue that they covered in that series - an economic bubble bursting due to over-evaluation and extreme speculation of the early 18th century South Seas Company which was built on lies and nothing - is just something that happens over and over again and no one with power in business ever learns from it. And of course, it's far from the only issue that cycles throughout history too.
While I'm not a boomer, I was COMPLETELY oblivious to lead paint EVEN BEING A THING MANG. This was truly educational, and now I'm just baffled. But I guess this was another "we smoked before we even had a clue it would affect us badly"-type story of ye olde eldrich history. Thanks on shining attention to this Woolie & Pat, truly educational podcast, holy shit.
In my elementary school there was lead paint on the walls and they warned us not to pick at it but the more they told us not to do it more we did it. Especially in the bathroom where there wasn't any teachers watching. I was born in 93
Of you think that's bad? The Victorians used arsenic in makeup and wallpaper. Under the right circumstances, the arsenic could vaporize and you would breathe it in.
If you want to be even more baffled, since lead often has a sweet taste, there was a time (like long, LONG ago) when lead was used as a sweetener in things like wine. It's also partially why lead paint was such a problem, because kids loved to chew on it and eat the sweet paint flakes.
3:30 "Eat food until you're not sad any more" It's all fun and games until depression kicks in and you're eating all day c: Don't worry though! The scale will make things way worse later! c: This totally isn't a spiral
Fun fact, when leaded gasoline and freon inventor Thomas Midgley Jr. contracted polio in 1940 and was left severely disabled, he invented a pully system to get himself out of bed, which he got caught in and accidently strangled himself to death.
The Romans spread the idea that lead was the best material for plumbing, so for more than 1000 years, all the biggest warring civilizations, including England, Spain, France and Germany have had lead poisoning. And our grandparents say millennials are the problem because we're too sober and soft :D.
as I am working a retail job, Boomer lead stare is such a real thing. you have to actively keep yourself from thinking less of the average older person due to how much boomers and older millennials act like legit NPCs all the time.
At this point im inagining anyone with lead to basically have the butchers nails from warhammer 40k inside them. Just randomly at one point the lead kicks in and makes them angry for no reason.
god i have this problem with my mother constantly. shes a firm believer that being unsanitary helps to build your immunities, and "MY mom did it this way and WE didnt die!"
It actually does the reverse. The immune system is like a resource that gets drained the more often it's used. This is why repeat cold, flu, and cvid infection is not a good idea.
I have hypoglycemia so I get very emotional or anxious over nothing very easily if I'm a few hours behind on eating a meal. I also have to be careful to not have too much sugar because then I also become an emotional asshole when my blood sugar drops. This happens for normal people too just not the my extreme, so much so that there's an acronym in the mental health community you use to check in on yourself when you're feeling it and it's called HALT and H stands for hunger. I don't know it by heart but it's basically, have you eaten, have you drank any water, are you feeling lonely or tired?
As a toddler a special "sometimes" snack wasn't cookies or chocolate, it was a slice of ciabatta bread soaked in red wine and with sugar sprinkled on top. How I still have a liver is beyond me 😂
It's like being so hungry that it hurts too much to eat. Try anti-acid/anti-acid reflux meds, they help, not a cure. We will die with our curse or pass it into our children.
Very ironic that the time it's hardest to eat is when you are the hungriest, moments where you wonder how it would be to be like a snake that eats a whole pig and can chill for a month
Oh man, i see that stare every day at work. I accepted my fate - do not argue, just give polite smile, agree with everything and forget they ever existed 3 second after. You do what you gotta do.
Was born in the early 90’s. I remember being taught that there was a hole in the ozone layer in grade school but I don’t remember panicking over it, so I don’t think the teacher did a great job at expressing how big of a deal it was.
No no no, the hole in the ozone layer is still there. It IS healing but its still there. I live in New Zealand, which has one of the highest rates of skin cancer because of the lack of ozone and we still need to avoid the sun and wear sunblock and so on. It's just that people have convinced themselves everything is fine based on a few headlines they didn't read. But it not going to be fixed for years.
true but unlike climate change we as a collective society actually took steps to make sure it didn't get worse, something that will never happen again in this lifetime
It's still there, but it is actively healing and we have done massive overhauls in regards to what aerosols we use. It will take time to recover, obviously, but it is healing and we've done precisely what has to be done to facilitate that healing.
My job in 2018- Don't worry about the lead paint we sent an environmental specialist. The environmental specialist (me a trainee in a 100% unrelated trade for 2 months with a box of clothes, a vacuum and a stick with a paint scraper attached to the end and 0 knowledge of lead paint.
The fact that Pat lacks the self awareness to remember colostomy bag as a targetable weakpoint and say” nothing about the body can affect me” is hilarious
Each generation blames the next one for everything wrong going on, conveniently forgetting that they were the ones who raised that generation and gave them the situation they have to deal with
The amount of times I've heard family members say gen Z is going to ruin the planet Like the entire existence of genz is them looking into the torment nexus that was made for them and the previous generations going "BTW this is your fault"
Yeah and we're finally at a point where the next generation are aware of this, and are actively working to improve. We won't be like this forever, but it also won't completely go away either.
There's some new research that microplastics might have a role on the increase of inflammatory bowel disease, but its all relatively new so most likely not the only thing going on but it'll be a while until we figure All That out so it'll be fun
i call them the lead based generation at this point because you can just TELL when they are not following you and they’re on jupiter. An example from today: “My instructions say I can’t have fish.” “That’s correct.” “Can I have salmon?” “…..Say that again?” “Can I have salmon?” “Salmon is a fish.” “But can I have it?” but you can’t get upset, so you just have to explain (over and over and over and over and over and over again)
The extremely sad thing is that if you account for the fact that an entire generation was metaphorically beaten in the head with a chemical bat, then a lot of things that have happened/are happening in the States make a whole lot more sense.
My grandma used to insist on a bowl of cereal before bed and i grew up fat and everyone always blamed me about it lmao. Come to find out cereal is probably one of the worst things you could eat right before literally just going to bed for the night.
Dude, I dont think I ever gone 22h without eating. Maybe its my fast metabolism but I feel like I gotta eat something every 5h or so. As soon as I feel that hunger I run to the kitchen, so I wouldnt be surprised if lack of food causes depression or whatever else. Also its crazy to imagine that our health, emotions, and life in general can be affected by the chemicals around us that we do not notice. You could very well be drinking water everyday with chemicals that make you angrier or something and you would never know whats the cause.
I can vouch about the eating thing; I tend to forget to eat sometimes or go prolonged times without eating and i end up feeling nauseous/weak. Go eat a sandwich
"the industrial revolution its consequences" my university STILL has asbestos. thankfully it I didn't breathe any in because I was completely paranoid and refused to do anything risky (while the rest of my classmates just drilled shit willy nilly) and you can just piss out the plastics.
The O-Zone layer crisis has been the most frustrating thing when it comes to talking about any issue that affects the planet, and it's because a lot of people think we just stopped talking about it for no reason when the reality is that we literally fixed the O-Zone layer and reduced the type of aerosol we were using.
We did the same thing with acid rain! Like, we raised awareness, enacted policy, created legislative and information campaigns, and the harmful phenomenon stopped happening because we stopped doing the bad shit that causes them.
Lemme throw out a theory for the micro-plastics effect thing. I think it's affecting how people are developing (they look younger) which is why now and then you'll hear someone say "hey how come 20 year olds from some years back look older than the one's today?"
A lot of Rome's brutality and obsession with militarism is likely due to the fact that the City of Rome, which acted as a center of it's governance had lead pipes for drinking water

The truly fiting ending to the leaded gasoline story, is that the dude ended up semi-paralized from lead exposure, and died when the machine he built to get in/out of bed strangled him
Badass 😮
I know nothing about him, maybe he was a nice dude, but holy crap is that a gloriously poetic end.
@@psykomancer4420
He singlehandedly caused more damage to the environment than any other human in history.
He actually really was a cool dude and made active efforts to fix the damage, but there's a reason he was called an environmental Genghis Khan in the mid-nineties.
Good
@@psykomancer4420I think he rescinded any being called a nice person when he chose the anti knocking additive that was well documented before his time to be toxic because it would be cheaper than the alternatives. And then marketed it without mentioning the lead

Speaking of issues of our current generation, gotta love how rainwater is no longer safe to drink.
My granddad likes to keep an open garbage can near his garage and he tells me it’s to collect rainwater. Considering he’s from the lead generation, I’m not going to bother explaining to him why it’s a bad idea.
No wonder Pat's good at soulslikes
He was playing with a DS2 Hollow debuff the entire time

Humans rarely consider how their environments impact them until its far too late. Hopefully we learn from history one day
(X) Doubt
Saying "one day" at the end sounds like a punchline to maximum irony. We're always going to put off "one day" as not today, until it becomes never.
@@jacobsmith4428 Sad but true
Humans? You mean industrial capitalists.
Four thousands of years humans were doing fine, it wasn't until industrialization that this shit happened AND the truth was hidden by companies, like studies done in the 70s by big oil companies that showed how messed up it was getting but decided to hide it to protect their profits.
@@jacobsmith4428 This is why the line at the end of Extra Credits' series on the South Sea Bubble always stuck with me when I heard it for the first time:
"This is a good lesson. I hope we learn it someday."
The major issue that they covered in that series - an economic bubble bursting due to over-evaluation and extreme speculation of the early 18th century South Seas Company which was built on lies and nothing - is just something that happens over and over again and no one with power in business ever learns from it. And of course, it's far from the only issue that cycles throughout history too.
So Pat essentially got hit with a stupid amount of nerfs and status debuffs at a low level, and yet here he is now, still kicking. Pretty impressive.
"Boomer Lead Stare" is a strong mind goblin.
While I'm not a boomer, I was COMPLETELY oblivious to lead paint EVEN BEING A THING MANG. This was truly educational, and now I'm just baffled. But I guess this was another "we smoked before we even had a clue it would affect us badly"-type story of ye olde eldrich history.
Thanks on shining attention to this Woolie & Pat, truly educational podcast, holy shit.
In my elementary school there was lead paint on the walls and they warned us not to pick at it but the more they told us not to do it more we did it. Especially in the bathroom where there wasn't any teachers watching.
I was born in 93
What's even more crazy is that lead tastes sweet, so kids would lick walls with lead paint on them.
Of you think that's bad? The Victorians used arsenic in makeup and wallpaper. Under the right circumstances, the arsenic could vaporize and you would breathe it in.
If you want to be even more baffled, since lead often has a sweet taste, there was a time (like long, LONG ago) when lead was used as a sweetener in things like wine. It's also partially why lead paint was such a problem, because kids loved to chew on it and eat the sweet paint flakes.
From the people that brought you “The Banality of Evil” comes “The Idiocy of Self Destruction”!
You know I'm starting to understand why so many generations before therapy were fucked up.
I’ve had that “sick hungry” before and it’s a really strange sensation, almost worrying
Classic example is carbs taking the blame for sugars because sodas paid researchers. Nough Australians can stay
Admittedly sugars *are* carbs.

16:00 I blame our negativity bias for this, the amount of astronomically great things that happened that we simply don't get an update on is huge
As someone who is never going to be a parent, googling "crib bumpers danger" is a nightmare I would have never experienced normally. Thanks Pat.
Fun fact, when leaded gasoline and freon inventor Thomas Midgley Jr. contracted polio in 1940 and was left severely disabled, he invented a pully system to get himself out of bed, which he got caught in and accidently strangled himself to death.
So fun
The Romans spread the idea that lead was the best material for plumbing, so for more than 1000 years, all the biggest warring civilizations, including England, Spain, France and Germany have had lead poisoning. And our grandparents say millennials are the problem because we're too sober and soft :D.
Regarding CFCs - kinda funny that what we signed to solve the ozone hole was the *Montreal Protocol*
This lead stare is the funniest thing i've ever heard omg
Also Pat is legit a miracle child
Born 1997 here, I am pretty sure the first time I learned about the ozone layer was from the pokemon movie about deoxys and rayquaza.
as I am working a retail job, Boomer lead stare is such a real thing. you have to actively keep yourself from thinking less of the average older person due to how much boomers and older millennials act like legit NPCs all the time.
Older millennials?
Do you mean gen X?
@@KingRidley Being forgotten about is Gen X's signature move.
At this point im inagining anyone with lead to basically have the butchers nails from warhammer 40k inside them. Just randomly at one point the lead kicks in and makes them angry for no reason.
god i have this problem with my mother constantly. shes a firm believer that being unsanitary helps to build your immunities, and "MY mom did it this way and WE didnt die!"
It actually does the reverse. The immune system is like a resource that gets drained the more often it's used. This is why repeat cold, flu, and cvid infection is not a good idea.
Yeah being overly germophobic isn't great but be sanitary. Get into dirty stuff often and clean it promptly
I have hypoglycemia so I get very emotional or anxious over nothing very easily if I'm a few hours behind on eating a meal. I also have to be careful to not have too much sugar because then I also become an emotional asshole when my blood sugar drops.
This happens for normal people too just not the my extreme, so much so that there's an acronym in the mental health community you use to check in on yourself when you're feeling it and it's called HALT and H stands for hunger. I don't know it by heart but it's basically, have you eaten, have you drank any water, are you feeling lonely or tired?
Yeah I'm the exact same way. Good thing I'm a light eater and get full easily at least
As a toddler a special "sometimes" snack wasn't cookies or chocolate, it was a slice of ciabatta bread soaked in red wine and with sugar sprinkled on top. How I still have a liver is beyond me 😂
wHAT
Couldn't have picked a better example of the lead stare in that thunbnail 😂
I get that hunger puke feeling pretty often and it's fucking trash, it hurts like hell
It's like being so hungry that it hurts too much to eat. Try anti-acid/anti-acid reflux meds, they help, not a cure. We will die with our curse or pass it into our children.
Very ironic that the time it's hardest to eat is when you are the hungriest, moments where you wonder how it would be to be like a snake that eats a whole pig and can chill for a month
Honestly Pat must have been the healthiest goddamn baby to still be here today
Oh man, i see that stare every day at work. I accepted my fate - do not argue, just give polite smile, agree with everything and forget they ever existed 3 second after. You do what you gotta do.

Was born in the early 90’s. I remember being taught that there was a hole in the ozone layer in grade school but I don’t remember panicking over it, so I don’t think the teacher did a great job at expressing how big of a deal it was.
Oh my god, she was actually trying to kill him-
Every time I get nauseous I have to do a game where I have to diagnose myself and figure out if I'm hungry, sleepy or depressed.
Patrick "Stunted n' Busted" Boivin.
No no no, the hole in the ozone layer is still there. It IS healing but its still there. I live in New Zealand, which has one of the highest rates of skin cancer because of the lack of ozone and we still need to avoid the sun and wear sunblock and so on. It's just that people have convinced themselves everything is fine based on a few headlines they didn't read. But it not going to be fixed for years.
true but unlike climate change we as a collective society actually took steps to make sure it didn't get worse, something that will never happen again in this lifetime
It's still there, but it is actively healing and we have done massive overhauls in regards to what aerosols we use. It will take time to recover, obviously, but it is healing and we've done precisely what has to be done to facilitate that healing.
My job in 2018- Don't worry about the lead paint we sent an environmental specialist.
The environmental specialist (me a trainee in a 100% unrelated trade for 2 months with a box of clothes, a vacuum and a stick with a paint scraper attached to the end and 0 knowledge of lead paint.
The fact that Pat lacks the self awareness to remember colostomy bag as a targetable weakpoint and say” nothing about the body can affect me” is hilarious
Realising that Pat is so short because he grew up with the nutrition of a 19th century street orphan
Woolie did in fact name the episode Castle Super Yeast.
This just in:
Local Man Doesn't Eat; Gets Hungry.
What happens next will shock you!
3:20 you ever get the hunger shakes? My body doesn’t tell me I’m hungry until I feel weak, so I actively have to keep track of when I last ate.
Pat is the ancestor of the Catachan, confirmed
My parents just got their water mains replaced and it turns out they were not lead, not copper, but FUCKING WOOD.
Each generation blames the next one for everything wrong going on, conveniently forgetting that they were the ones who raised that generation and gave them the situation they have to deal with
I mean millenials didnt raise the gen y, just the zoomers
Edit: not zoomers, gen alpha
The amount of times I've heard family members say gen Z is going to ruin the planet
Like the entire existence of genz is them looking into the torment nexus that was made for them and the previous generations going "BTW this is your fault"

Yeah and we're finally at a point where the next generation are aware of this, and are actively working to improve. We won't be like this forever, but it also won't completely go away either.

There's some new research that microplastics might have a role on the increase of inflammatory bowel disease, but its all relatively new so most likely not the only thing going on but it'll be a while until we figure All That out so it'll be fun
i call them the lead based generation at this point because you can just TELL when they are not following you and they’re on jupiter.
An example from today:
“My instructions say I can’t have fish.”
“That’s correct.”
“Can I have salmon?”
“…..Say that again?”
“Can I have salmon?”
“Salmon is a fish.”
“But can I have it?”
but you can’t get upset, so you just have to explain (over and over and over and over and over and over again)
The extremely sad thing is that if you account for the fact that an entire generation was metaphorically beaten in the head with a chemical bat, then a lot of things that have happened/are happening in the States make a whole lot more sense.
My grandma used to insist on a bowl of cereal before bed and i grew up fat and everyone always blamed me about it lmao. Come to find out cereal is probably one of the worst things you could eat right before literally just going to bed for the night.
It would ensure I "slept through the night".
Dude, I dont think I ever gone 22h without eating. Maybe its my fast metabolism but I feel like I gotta eat something every 5h or so. As soon as I feel that hunger I run to the kitchen, so I wouldnt be surprised if lack of food causes depression or whatever else.
Also its crazy to imagine that our health, emotions, and life in general can be affected by the chemicals around us that we do not notice. You could very well be drinking water everyday with chemicals that make you angrier or something and you would never know whats the cause.
"i'm not namign this episode castle super yeast, you can't make me do it"

The Doomsday origin comparison was wildddddd
I can vouch about the eating thing; I tend to forget to eat sometimes or go prolonged times without eating and i end up feeling nauseous/weak. Go eat a sandwich

my university STILL has asbestos. thankfully it I didn't breathe any in because I was completely paranoid and refused to do anything risky (while the rest of my classmates just drilled shit willy nilly) and you can just piss out the plastics.
"You can't make me name it castle super yeast"
But you did tho.
And the chat didn't. Woolie rose to the occasion of his own accord.
Lol next week well find out pats mom had him smoke black and milds to keep misquotes away at this rate.
Fyi, people born mid 90s still had ozone layer hole and general climate change as major topics in schools
Depends on how liberal your science teacher was if you had one at all. (catholic and home schoolers)
The O-Zone layer crisis has been the most frustrating thing when it comes to talking about any issue that affects the planet, and it's because a lot of people think we just stopped talking about it for no reason when the reality is that we literally fixed the O-Zone layer and reduced the type of aerosol we were using.
We did the same thing with acid rain! Like, we raised awareness, enacted policy, created legislative and information campaigns, and the harmful phenomenon stopped happening because we stopped doing the bad shit that causes them.
With every story Pat has about some minutia that developed into a flawed mental construct. He could write a book.
The fact that I recognize the old lady in the thumbnail means I've watched to much Kitchen Nightmares.
This makes me feel better about my parents being too safe
Fun fact; Canada still widely uses asbestos in things like nuclear plants
To be fair it IS an amazing fire retardant.
@@tylergaye5457 it is indeed
Lemme throw out a theory for the micro-plastics effect thing. I think it's affecting how people are developing (they look younger) which is why now and then you'll hear someone say "hey how come 20 year olds from some years back look older than the one's today?"
Microplastics contain phytoestrogens. Your theory holds water.
so what your saying... is if we eat more microplastics we will look like teenagers in our 50s ... and probably die around that time to
A lot of Rome's brutality and obsession with militarism is likely due to the fact that the City of Rome, which acted as a center of it's governance had lead pipes for drinking water
Lead theory is some plausible shit.
