Following this, they talk about superhero movies, “guilty pleasures” in music, piercings & face tattoos, the difference in vocal styles and what “unclean” vocals actually are and what being in different bands over the years has been like for Ryan, including reminiscing of the good, and not-so-good times!

Mike talks to Josh for another episode of the Science But Simple mini-series and this week they debunk scientific misconceptions! They delve into what cancer actually is, how it works and our treatments & why there isn’t a “cure-all” for cancer, followed by what “Big Pharma” is and the conspiracy around them somehow having the cure to diseases and holding them back, along with the method for testing & releasing new medicines for the public. They then finish off with what GMOs are (genetically modified organisms), more specifically regarding the food we eat, including how seedless grapes exist and why there’s little to worry about!
"Science But Simple" is mostly about explaining the fundamentals of things we see in our everyday lives in an easy-to-digest manner.
If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out the other two episodes of “Science But Simple” - the first episode is #6 of the GCC podcast and is all about how light bulbs work, energy & enthalpy, while the second episode is #12, which discusses how gravity works, the tide, the moon, how the sun works/why it’s hot & more!
Last week, Mike spoke to Wayne, a Palaeontologist and they talk about fossils, dinosaurs, mass extinction events, giant insects and much more, so be sure to check that out too!
