Fingers preferred.

Was there any evidence in the 60 minutes episode that this was like a sponsored episode or support?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1093 - Jun 20 2026

Yeah.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1093 - Jun 20 2026

I was depressed even before you mentioned the 60 minute things.

The Skeptics Guide #1093 - Jun 20 2026

And then now I'm just like, from a media perspective, that is so dangerous.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1093 - Jun 20 2026

Yeah, or at least diminishing returns.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1093 - Jun 20 2026

That's alsoβ€”

It's also probably self-reported, which I would imagine humans are pretty bad at self-reporting how much working out.

Sleeping better.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

In the first half, I thought it was like children in a stroller being pushed down the street or something and kind of crying or like fussing for a bottle.

And then I thought it was a parakeet at the end.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1093 - Jun 20 2026

So my final answer is going to be some kind of like bird in an urban landscape.

The Skeptics Guide #1093 - Jun 20 2026

I will say, having heard Fred's guess, I definitely hear the rubber chicken on the second.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1093 - Jun 20 2026

Oh, yeah.
