It was a pretty incredible gift to be able to work with Kurt on this episode. His work spans decades and it took multiple tries to understand it in a way that could be put together in a narrative. I am very grateful for all of his time, warmth and generosity. I had to leave many, many wonderful pieces of research and factoids out due to time constraints but I would urge any of you that are interested to dive deeper into his work.
His colleagues Dr. William G. Ryerson, Ms. Amanda E. Hewes and
Ms. Sara Horwitz contributed a great deal to some of the research that I mentioned.
Dr. Margaret Rubega (rubegalab.uconn.edu/) deserves thanks for introducing me to Kurt in the first place.

this is the most professional-unprofessional documentary ever
-
The best quote ever: “No, Jerry, it’s not a fetish. When a scientist does it, it’s an area of interest.”
-
“Flick your tongue up and down very quickly like a snake. When humans do this, it’s called an ‘HR Violation’ “ Tears in my eyes 😂😂🤣🤣
-
"And no it's not that big hole. That's the glottis. It's used for breathing while they're deepthroating a squirrel's butt." You'd think that I know better than to be drinking something while watching True Facts, but here I am squeegeeing soda off my monitor.

Jerry's script remains wild. "Jerry, that's not a snake." "No, Jerry, it's not a fetish. When a scientist does it it's an area of interest."

"Can't fool me brain-witch!" he said smugly. I laughed so hard to that.
-
i love that Dr. Schwenk seemed so excited to be involved and help out for the video lmao
-
From this point forward, all Psychologists and Therapists are hereby to be referred to as "Brain Witches."
-
“When you do it, it’s called an HR violation” That’s as funny as it gets
-
"Jerry, that's not a snake! ... I KNOW it's on its belly but it has LEGS, Jerry!"
-
As a research scientist myself, I don't think I've ever seen a better example of scientist behavior than the graph at the end showing funny moments by timestamp... Especially because it was not directly asked for. Love it!! :)
-
That ending shot was disturbing in many ways...
-
“When humans do this it’s called an HR violation.” 😂
-
"But this is a shag carpet of doom " "Or take half a viagra" Stop killing me dude it's 2am
-
Dr. Kurt Schwenk seems like a great guy. I particularly enjoyed his breakdown of jokes at the end and his very clinical observation of the gap which only serves to make it more hilarious.
-
"But the snake ancestor pulled evolution aside and said, 'I'll give an arm and a leg to be the best at it.'" I see what you did there.
-
"Are all the new viewers gone yet?" Nope. It seems like I've just started a journey.
-
First of all I didn’t know “worm lizards” existed. Secondly, calling therapists/counselors “brain witches” was brilliant.
-
“Snowman’s baby maker” I’m dead 🤣
