Anyway, Snow White lives in the forest, so maybe sh— Oh, really?
Riley was asking about actual snow?
Well, I don't know why actual snow is white, do you?

— What in the world?!
Garaz! Garaz are you in there?!
I wonder why he's not answering the door.
Garaz? Garaz it's me, Mindy!
Maybe I'll just allow myself in.
Hey! Garaz! Garaz! Energy equals mass times the speed of light.
I'd rather you sleep talking?
Yes, Professor. If we subtract the square root of 92 .155 and then...
Oh boy, well, doesn't seem like he's going to wake up any time soon.
I guess I'll just tell myself to a snack from the old refrigerator.
Oh, oh, oh! I know he's into some weird foods, but why is this refrigerator full of stinky fish?
Maybe I don't need a snack after all.
Oh, hello. Come on.
Are you coming for alarm fire?
Get to the trucks. Get to the trucks.
I'm coming. Oh, butter my biscuits.
Guy Raz, is this your alarm clock ringing?
Hey, Chief. I'll be in the fire truck ASAP.
What in the? Guy Raz!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on.
It's me, your best friend Mindy.
Mindy? What's happening?
Man, you were out. Must have been some crazy deep sleep.
Asleep? Yeah, I just came over here to have breakfast like we planned, and I found you talking in your sleep but out like a light.
Oh man, Mindy. The last thing I remember from last night was eating a big plate of fish, then brushing my teeth, then flossing, then rinsing with mouthwash, then doing some breathing exercises, then practicing gratitude then pulling down the black out shade okay then climbing into my soft warm bed then okay i get it you take bed time really seriously well last night once my head hit the pillow i was out and boy did i sleep well Mindy which reminds me it's breakfast time did you say breakfast you better believe it and check out my new gadget Mindy wow Well, that's a cool cylinder, Gairas.
OK, watch this. OK, Zoodle, say breakfast in German.
Breakfast in German.
Ha, hang on, Mindy.
My Zoodle home is acting up.
OK, Zoodle, tell me how to say breakfast in German.
Frühstück. Frühstück, huh?
OK, Zoodle, how about in French?
Desjeuner. How about in Spanish?
Desayuno. How about in Arabic?
Where's the butterfinger?
OK, GuyRoss, my grumbling belly could really go for some washabot ephtar right now, so if you could just faqissa already?
Fakissa? Oh yeah, faqissa.
It means, um, scoot your tush in Southern Soto.
Southern Sotho? Yeah, Southern Sotho.
It's a Southern Bantu language spoken mostly in South Africa and Lesotho.
Wow, you speak Southern Sotho?
Not really, but Reggie and I have been taking some classes online.
Wow. Yeah. Our challenge is to work through all 11 of South Africa's official languages.
Anywho, how's about that fresh duck you promised?
Oh, yeah. Actually, Mindy, do I have a treat for you?
Banana chocolate chip pancakes topped with nitrous oxide -propelled sweetened whipped cream?
Uh, no. Okay well are you at least making those cinnamon buns that burst out of the can that comes with that delicious white frosting that just melts off the top?
Have you forgotten who you're talking to?
Oh yeah, well I guess we're just having the yooz?
You mean tall glasses of room temperature water, hard boiled eggs, cashew cheese and some raw kale?
Mmmmmm. Well, not today, Mindy.
Does this mean we're having something new?
Yeah. Today Mindy, I'm making my new favorite breakfast specialty!
What is it? Here, let me show you in the fridge.
Oh no! Don't do it.
Don't do it. Don't do it.
Don't do it. Don't do it.
We're going to have a fish fiesta.
Fish for breakfast?
Hi, Roz. Who eats fish for breakfast?
Well, actually, lots of people do.
In Guyana, people eat white fish at breakfast. Traditional Japanese breakfast includes fish.
Same in Indonesia. And in countries like Denmark, Norway, Russia, and Germany, you can have a delicious plate of pickled herring with your eggs.
Ew. Believe it when I see it.
But even in America, Mindy, lots of people eat smoked salmon at breakfast. And in Alaska, people eat a lot of fresh salmon because they have some of the most delicious wild salmon in the whole wide world.
So that's why you have a fridge full of salmon?
Yup. I order it directly from a fisherman in Seward, Alaska, and Mindy it is dee -licious and nutritious and braintastically soporific.
Uh, braintastic, soperific?
Well, technically, braintastic is a made -up word combining brain and fantastic.
But soperific is a real word. I think I got this figured out.
Soporific. It's from the Latin root soper, which means deep sleep and things that are soperific help us sleep.
Yep. So fish is both brain -tastic as it can make you smarter, and it can also help you sleep better.
Uh, hold the banana pepper phone, Guy Raz.
Mindy. Smarter and sleepier?
Well, yeah, here. Here, let me explain.
Guy Raz, you are needed on set.
Guy Raz, please report to set.
Oh, man, Mindy, I almost forgot.
I've got to get to the studio.
What, the studio? Guy Raz, what?
What is going on? Oh, I didn't tell you, Mindy.
Uh, tell me what? Oh, I just signed a five episode deal with the Neanderthal Network to do a food show.
The Neanderthal Network?
Yep. Only paleo, keto, Whole30, and SCD diets allowed. But, you know, hey, it's a gig, right?
Wait, you're doing a cooking show on TV?
Well, technically it's just a five -show deal.
So we'll see how it goes.
Come on. I'm late. OK, I'm coming.
But I'm still starving.
Wait up. Run, run, run, run.
Oh, man. Oh, I just made it.
Roll sound. What is happening?
Oh, OK everyone. Quiet on set.
And in 3, 2, and 1.
Welcome to Caveman cooking.
Here's your host, your bro, my bro, Guy Rocket.
Hey, cave people, what is up?
You ready for some caveman nutrition?
I'm on a mission for nutrition.
All right, friends.
Today, I'm making some food that our hominin ancestors ate back in the caves.
Man caves. Woo! Or her caves.
That's true. Let's start with the pan of our ancestors.
Cast iron. Yay! I'm gonna throw this piece of salmon, skin side down, in this hot pan and let her cook for three minutes until that skin is crispy.
Then I'll flip it over and throw some coconut aminos, a little fish sauce, a drop of red chili paste, and voila, the menu of the ancient man and woman.
Um, excuse me, pardon me.
Nice forehead. I just need to get through here.
Sorry, that's my friend up there.
Excuse me, part of mine coming through.
Um, Garroz, a word?
Uh, Mindy, I'm on live TV, what's going on?
Um, well cavemen didn't cook on cast iron pans and shake coconut aminos and tied chili paste on their fish.
Well, technically that is true, but if they could have had those things, they would.
Anyway, it's paleo cooking.
Just go with it. Ah, I don't know about this, Guy Raz.
Are all you cave people ready for some fresh, wild salmon?
Mission full nutrition!
Good for your brain and good for your sleep!
Sleep to the back! Whoo!
Oh yeah! Well friends, thanks for joining us this week and see you next time!
Caveman Cooking is a Neanderthal network production.
When we return, Guy Raz jacks your macros with his caveman brownies and his Coconut Chia Probiotic Pudding.
Don't miss it, you jabroni!
And we're clear! That's a wrap!
Wow! Guy Raz, I barely even recognized you up there.
What got into you? Oh, B, what do you mean?
Well, uh, you were acting like a caveman for one.
Oh, it might be the new diet.
Well, I gotta say, I didn't think I was a big fan of the fishy stuff, but, um, I was able to swipe some of that salmon off the stage and mmm boy, howdy.
Stuff is delicious.
Oh, thanks. Well, I'm happy to share the recipe.
Yeah, think I'm going to have to give this fish for breakfast thing a second chance.
Well, as I said, it is nutritious, delicious, and braintastically soporific.
Yeah, speaking of which, what exactly do you mean when you say that fish makes us smarter and better sleepers?
Well, that's what a growing body of scientific research suggests.
You're saying that scientists have researched this and concluded that fish makes us smarter and sleep better?
I know, right? It sounds like a big wet fish kiss to the fish industry, but it's a real conclusion recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.
So what did the study find?
Well, Mindy, a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, including Jiang Hong Hong Lu, Jennifer Pinto -Martin, Alexandra Hanlon, and Adrian Rain decided to put a long known theory about Omega -3s to the test. Omega 3's.
Um, hang on a second, Guy Rauz.
Zoodle! If you're out there, what exactly are Omega 3's?
Zoodle? Zoodle? Omega 3.
Polyunsaturated fatty acid that is found in foods like chia seeds, grass -fed beef, shrimp, and fish.
Thanks, Zoodle. You're the best. So Guy Rauz, Omega 3's, am I right?
Yes, that's right. But omega 3s, which are of course invisible and generally tasteless to us humans, are special acids found in the oils of these foods, and it's believed that omega 3s are good for human health.
And that's the theory that these researchers from the University of Pennsylvania were trying to prove, right?
Right! And for a long time, scientists have found links between omega 3s and human intelligence and that maybe Omega 3s can help our brains grow and develop especially when we're young.
And so what did these researchers find?
Well this team from the University of Pennsylvania was interested in learning more because a lot of the earlier studies done by other scientists and researchers focused on people who take supplements.
You mean like fish oil?
Like fish oil capsules?
Yep in fact I take two every day.
So how did this team from Pennsylvania do their study?
Well, they decided to find out if eating fish, not just taking fish oil pills, might also make a difference in brain health.
So they had people go hog wild on an all -you -can -eat -fish buffet?
It's over, it's over, it's gone!
Well, sort of, yeah.
What these researchers did was to study kids.
As in goats? Uh, nope.
Kids as in young humans below the legal age of majority.
Yeah, they studied a group of kids in China.
A bunch of kids in China.
And to be precise, 541 kids in China aged 9 to 11 years old and these researchers studied how much fish each of these kids ate every month.
And I'm guessing we're not talking about two -for -one fish fillet sandwiches from McDewdads, right?
Yeah, that's probably a safe assumption and I don't think fried fish and chips count it either.
So probably like steamed fish or roasted fish or pan seared.
Kind of like how you cook that salmon on your cooking show.
Yeah, exactly. And then the researchers asked each of the 541 kids to take a test. What?
Fish in a test? What is that?
Well, not like a test that counts, but a test to find out how smart they were at that very moment.
A test that measures something called IQ.
Or... intelligence quotient...
But I've always wondered...
How can a test measure someone's intelligence?
Well, you know, intelligence tests are controversial, meaning some people think they're a real measure of how smart someone is, and other people think they only measure how smart someone is at that very moment during the test. Oh, yeah, so, like, if somebody was up the whole night before inventing cheese coffee, or if maybe they had jelly beans for breakfast, they might not do as well as if they hadn't done these things?
Exactly, and intelligence, or how smart we are, isn't something that's necessarily fixed, because our brains grow and build new connections over the course of our lives.
And we build new connections in our brains by being curious.
Yes. Whoa. brains, Mindy, by asking questions, by reading, by exploring.
Those are the things that make us smarter.
Well, anywho, back to this fish test. When those researchers asked the kids in China to take the intelligence test, what did they find?
Well, amazingly, Mindy, they found that kids who ate fish at least once a week scored better on the test. Actually, their IQ scores were almost five points higher than kids who never ate fish.
Whoa, so fish made them smarter?
Well, it's not entirely clear, but that seems to be the case.
In fact, kids who ate fish sometimes still had IQ scores that were three points higher than kids who never ate fish.
Yeah, but you said that before you went to bed last night, you ate a big plate of fish.
So did you do that to get smarter?
Well, I was experimenting, for sure, because these researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, they also found that kids who ate fish at least once a week slept a lot better than kids who didn't eat fish.
Oh, so now I'm starting to connect the dots.
That's why you were in such a deep state of sleep when I came in earlier.
Well, I can't say it was just the fish.
But it's possible there is a connection with eating fish and sleeping well too.
But how do fish make omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids anyway?
You know, I'm not entirely sure, but I bet we could find out.
Oh boy. I see that light bulb glowing on top of your head.
Wait, are you plugged into something?
Well, if we really want to investigate, Mindy, we'll have to go, you know.
Something smells fishy about this plan you're hatching, Guy Raz.
But it could help us understand the source of those omega 3s in fish.
And all we have to do is shrink you down with your shrink wand and send you inside the belly of a fish.
Inside the belly of a fish?
What? No way. Guy Raz, the last time you shrunk me down, I found myself in the middle of an onion crying my eyeballs out.
Ah! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha!
Well, this time we'll make sure you're wearing your astronaut gear, you know, just in case.
Ugh. This better be worth it, Guy -Roz.
Nothing to worry about, Mindy.
It'll be fine, just fine.
We'll see about that.
This time, Guy -Roz, you're coming with me.
OK. Well, I guess the first stop is your garage?
Should we find Reggie?
Reggie! Hey, Reg, we're going to need you to take us on our strangest adventure yet!
Adventure inside the belly of a nutritious, delicious and brain -tastic fish, next time on Caveman C...?
Wow in the World! This is so exciting!
I can't wait to find out what happens next!
Reggie, you were there, tell me what happens next.
No, wait, don't tell me.
Actually, I can't wait.
Tell me, tell me, tell me.
No, no, no, no, don't tell me.
Ee, hee, hee. Okay, let's wrap this up.
