(playful theme music) – We are hanging out with Mayim Bialik, and we have decided to dissect a frog together, because you can teach science, you’ve done that. – You know science. – I do. I have done that. – Yeah, and we are gonna learn at the feet of a master by dissecting a frog. – I think that’s slightly overstated. – [Link] And this is the frog we have. – We didn’t get a real frog because if we had a real frog on this show, we would just be forced to eat it, because that’s basically that’s what happens on this show. If you put something in front of us, we have to start consuming it. – Eventually we will eat it. – And also you’re a vegan, so we’ll go plastic frog. – Thank you, appreciate it. You can learn a lot from a plastic frog. – Yeah, well let’s find out just what we can. – What do you have? – I have this. – That’s convenient. – It’s a pointer. – Are you gonna hit us with that, or point things that? – No, I’m gonna point things out. – Frog and frog. – Frog and frog, okay, are we ready to get started? – Okay, let’s get started. – I’ve got a whole kit here with sharp things. – Yes you do. – Yes, finally, sharp things again. – As do I. – I don’t know if we’ll need super sharp things. – Link doesn’t know those are all rubber. – I’m gonna put this down. Okay, the first thing we need to do. – Is name him. – Okay, it makes it a little bit harder to then cut him open, but go ahead. – This is Frandy. It’s Randy but with an F, ’cause he’s a frog. – Frandy and? – Mine is named Charles. – And Charles. – That’s my name you jerk. – Yeah. – Is this some sort of voodoo thing that you’re gonna do here? – Well, maybe. – My middle name is Lincoln, I didn’t make up Link. There’s people who always think when my name is Charles, I don’t wanna get into it. – You don’t have to defend yourself, don’t defend yourself. – I’m also not short. I’m six feet tall, okay, let’s get into this. – That’s true. – He’s very not short, though, is the problem. – He is the problem, yes. – Alright, please turn Frandy and Charles over. This is their ventral side. – Okay, look at that, made in China, great. – Like all frogs. – First we’re gonna look a little bit at the external anatomy of Frandy and Charles. Can you determine the sex of Frandy and Charles? – Female, definitely. – Why do you say that? – Ne penis. – No frenis, is what they call it on a frog. – So interestingly, you won’t– – Don’t tell me it’s on the inside. Don’t tell me they’ve got an internal penis. – You won’t see it on the outside. This opening– – What a bummer for the frog. – I don’t really like touching it with my finger even though it’s not real. This opening is called the cloaca. – Oh, that’s where everything comes out. – Everything goes in and out. – You want me to make it bigger? – What, no! – That’s what that thing is for. – So that’s the cloaca, so the way that we– There are external ways to sometimes determine if it’s a male or a female. – You can ask it. – Or you sniff it. – No, it usually has to do with the musculature, males have different muscles. Males are generally smaller than females. We can’t really tell about Frandy and Charles, but you can tell on the inside if it’s a boy or a girl. Sometimes there’s eggs, we’ll get to that in a minute. – Alright, let’s get in there, I really wanna get in there. – Okay, so hold on one second, one more thing. One more thing that’s on our general when you dissect a frog, please find the mouth and eyes. – Oh, this is gonna be difficult. – Good. – Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. – Eyes, – I found it. – Mouth, great, I don’t know why it’s on the list, but it’s a thing. Oh dear. – Found the tongue, it’s the tongue. – Oh gosh. – Okay well let’s cut the mouth open. – Cut the mouth open? – Well there’s, it’s hinged. So for this you’d probably you usually would use a scalpel, that’s sharp. – I have a very sharp scalpel here. – Why are you holding it like that, it’s pinned down. – Last time I was trusted with a sharp thing. – Oh here we go, oh, got it. Popped it. – Great. – Look at that gross, grossness. – Okay, we don’t use words like gross when we dissect, interesting? – Oh, that’s interesting. – Exactly. – It’s grody. – Can you see teeth, tongue, or esophagus in there? – I can see a dotted thing, looks like a– – [Mayim] I think that’s where the tongue’s gonna attach, ’cause it’s a muscle. – It looks like a hand-painted toothpick. – I think I got a toothless frog, must be an old one. – Let’s see, well there’s definitely no teeth in this one, I don’t think they have teeth, little ones? Next we would like to lift and cut through the muscles and the breastbone. So we’re gonna remove the panel, as it were. Okay, just like that. – Is that how it works on a real frog? – Not at all. – Pops right off like the hood of an Oldsmobile. – Usually on a real frog, you’d make more of a T shape, and pin the flaps. – How are kids supposed to learn anything? Kids are gonna be going out to frogs, and just (pop). Nothing’s happening mom. – There’s a lot of blackness in here. – Yeah, there is a lot of blackness in there. – [Link] Frog’s been eating licorice. – This is normally the time that you would be able to tell if it was a male or female, there are usually egg sacks and they’re quite prominent. – Are they black? – [Mayim] No, that’s not the egg sacks. – [Link] What is the blackness? – That’s the liver, I believe. – Okay, let me pop that off. I’m not gonna use the knife for a while, because, – You’re scared of it. – Know thyself. – What do you think is here, oh, excuse me, what do you think’s here at the top? – [Rhett] That’s a heart. – That is the heart. – I win. – That is the heart. So you can take off the liver is what I’m assuming we’re gonna do next. – [Rhett] Golly, I think this thing’s got cirrhosis. – Remove the licorice patch. Oh wow, the heart came off with it. – Oh dear. – Look at that. – Why do they gotta have such a big liver? – I don’t know, hold on. – I think that’s a testicle. – That’s not the testicle. Hold on, well these are the intestines obviously. Wait for it, hmm, interesting, just like when you dissect a real frog, it looks nothing like the diagram. – Look, I got everything. – Oh, you just took it all out, okay, great. – Now the hard part is putting it back, and then breathing life into it. – Put it all on the side. Okay, once you took everything out we can see, those are the kidneys. – Well dang, I haven’t taken everything out. – Well, it’s pretty easy. – Kidneys are in there. That’s all the vasculature. – This is a stomach. – The bladder’s at the bottom. – Here’s the stomach. – That looks stomach-y. – It looks like it could be a human stomach. – Well yeah, it’s a, you know, it’s a cordate. – It’s a cordate, man. – It’s a cordate. – It’s a cordate, of course. – The bladder is down by the cloaca. It serves as the receptacle for liquid waste before it is passed through the cloaca. – I love that part. – The remaining two removal parts are fat bodies, mmmm. – Fat bodies. – Fat bodies. – This is a fat body. – I have a feeling that’s a fat body. – I wonder if they eat that. Like people who eat stuff from frogs? – So this is just like insulation for the organs? – It’s extra fat that they accumulate, and that’s also one of the ways you can tell between males and females, cause they have different fat distribution. – And it’s also probably the thing that we should eat, because let’s just face it, now that I see it front of me, I kind of want to eat it. – No, no! – Well I feel like we’ve created a bowl, you know, it’s like a soup bowl. – What, no! – Just kind of get your water, and then right out the cloaca. – Oh my god. – Does it come out there? Can you suck on it hard enough? – I’m giving it all I got captain. – It’s not a real cloaca. It’s not functional, I’m just gonna have to get in there. (both guys slurp) – I think we’re done here. – Alright, man, we learned a lot Mayim. – I learned so much. Alright kids, drink out of your frogs. – They’re gonna take my doctorate back, that’s what’s gonna happen. They’re gonna take away my PhD. – I’ve also eaten a worm’s anus. It’s the way to a woman’s heart. – Thanks to Mayim for getting science-y with us. You can watch Mayim in The Big Bang Theory.

Say you know what time it is. – You know what time it is. – Hi, I’m Ryan from Texas. And I’m in Baku, Azerbaijan. And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – Thank you Ryan.
