00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature Future production of I Heart Radio. I'm

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology, and today on the show, we're talking

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: about animal hobbies. While us humans are all trying to

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: figure out our favorite hobbies to occupy our time, animals

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: are already running crocheting and baking circles around us. We're

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: talking be Baker's web spinners, carpenters, fake astronomers, and dolphin Shenanigans.

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: Discovered this more as we answered the angel question do

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: you really want to know what a bee mom's secret

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: ingredient is? Joining me today is stand up comedian host

11
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: of the podcast You Can Tell Me Anything, and my

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: friend Theresa Lee. Thanks for having me, Katie, of course

13
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: it's good to see you. So today we're talking about

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: hobby ease and what we've been doing to kind of

15
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: like stay you know, relatively emotionally stable at this time

16
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: um and how animals, how animals do like their hobbies

17
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: and how they stay alive much like we're trying to

18
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: do now. So what are some of the hobbies that

19
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: you've picked up to kind of cope with the new

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: the new lifestyle. First, I have to say, this is

21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: a marker of how long we've been at Quarantine is

22
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: I've been able to do your podcast twice during that's right,

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: your second this is our second Quarantine episode. That's my

24
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: how I mark time now is how many times I've

25
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: done this. I don't even remember the more four times,

26
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: to be honest, Like when I think back to actually

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: recording in a studio, I was like, oh, yeah, it

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: used to be in a studio, not just I do.

29
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I do prefer the for me just because I was

30
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: doing all the like, I was very like bootstrapping my podcast.

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: So it has been easier to get people to do

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: it over zoom than when I had to make them

33
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: drive to me. Yeah. But as but as the editor

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: of this podcast, I have to say, I'm starting to

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: dislike the sounds of cars and the sounds of planes.

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: It makes me viscerally angry when I hear a plane

37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: fly over. Now. But yeah, so how have you like

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: picked up any hobbies Like I've been crocheting a lot. Um,

39
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: I learned how to crochet. Yeah, I do have some

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: quarantine hobbies. I Um, I'm learning to code and that's

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: a bit. It's very real I think like that feels

42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: like a step up from a hobby, that feels like

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: a life skill. I don't know when it's me. It's

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: definitely because I years ago. I mean, I've always been

45
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: interested in robots and the Singularity, but I was researching

46
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: AI more for like a pilotis writing. And then now

47
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: I just actually want to have app ideas I want

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: to make. And I think it's because I don't have

49
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: stand up so I've been actively putting together stupid ideas.

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: That's one I also got into, like I wish I

51
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: actually had like a house I could work on, but

52
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: the very little I can do in my apartment, I

53
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: realize I really like power tools, so I bow my

54
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: I brought my boyfriend's drill and put up like a

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: wall of mirrors to make a little dance studio. And yeah,

56
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: it's been really fun slash probably unhealthy because I'm obsesssaying

57
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: over things I shouldn't be doing. I also have like

58
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: I have renovation envy. I live in a very small apartment.

59
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't think our lease would allow me to break

60
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: down a wall or anything. Also, my neighbors probably wouldn't

61
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: like that me bursting into their living room. But so

62
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: we are talking about the things that animals do. Like

63
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: now we think it's like really trendy to do all

64
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: of these hobbies like crocheting and breadmaking, but these are

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: things that animals have been doing for millennia. And first

66
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: I want to talk about bees and how they are

67
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: a little pastry chefs. They're incredible. We don't think about

68
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: animals doing baking, right because like that's like, oh, you know,

69
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: you need to be a human with thumbs and like

70
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: a chef's hat to be able to like do baking.

71
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: But bees are incredible when it comes to food preparation.

72
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: And I want to talk about something literally called bee

73
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: bread because bees don't just make honey, they also make bread.

74
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: What exactly I was, It's like one of those things

75
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: where you learn about this and it just seems so whimsical,

76
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: like like you imagine a bunch of fairies at a

77
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: tea party with some bees and they're sharing bee bread

78
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: and the bees are like, yeah, I regurgitated it myself.

79
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: But it's it is pretty incredible actually, this whole process.

80
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: So honey is great for bees and that it contains

81
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: a lot of sugar which helps give them nutrition and

82
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: helps them give nutrients to their growing larva, but it

83
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have that much protein, and so that's where bee

84
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: bread comes in, and that's where they get a lot

85
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: of their proteins. So be bread or ambrosia is a

86
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: bit of bee confection that they create by collecting pollen.

87
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: So when bees go from flower to flower, they collect

88
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: pollen all over their bodies. And that's not just sort

89
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: of a byproduct of them collecting nectar. Obviously it helps

90
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: the flowers because that's how flowers are pollinated. A bee

91
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: gets in there, gets all in the flower sex organs,

92
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: rummages around, goes to another flower, and then uh pollinates that.

93
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: It's all very very kinky stuff. But um, they also

94
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: intentionally collect the pollen so their bodies are covered in hair.

95
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: That's why they're so adorable. And yeah, now, I mean like, look,

96
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: what what's the point of shaving these days? We need

97
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: we need it to collect the pollen. Is how else

98
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: are we going to make this bee bread? So they

99
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: will clean their faces off. Their fore legs have little

100
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: built in combs that they can comb the pollen off

101
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: of their little faces. That's like when they do the

102
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: cute little I love that you're doing. People can't hear

103
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: this on the pod, but Katie is doing a little

104
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: b impression and a toute. I've got to I've got

105
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: to embody the bee with a little dealers going all

106
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: over my face. I have to become the bee. Become

107
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: the bee. So then they pass all of the pollen

108
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: they've collected off of their faces to their metal set

109
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: of legs, so they have three pairs of legs and

110
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: they move the pollen like a conveyor belt down to

111
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: the back pair of legs, their hind legs that actually

112
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: have a built in basket for pollen called corbricula. So

113
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: the curricula is a cavity in the hind legs surrounded

114
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: by hair um so that when they like pack in

115
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: the pollen, it just sticks in there. It's literally a

116
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: little basket in their legs. Wow. I mean, I wonder

117
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: what which came first, the kangaroo or beat that is.

118
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: I think it was bees. Actually, yeah, I'm gonna say bees.

119
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I think it's that makes sense because they're

120
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: a little more like bugs and Jurassic Park or whatever.

121
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: I feel like, Yeah, I think there weren't kangaroos and

122
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park skeletally yea similar, very similar, very similar. You know,

123
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: marsupials are a bit of a strange kind of evolutionary detour.

124
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: I do think that if you like, I don't know,

125
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: like a velociraptor versus a kangaroo. I feel like people

126
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: in Australia, what do you think kangaroos are pretty ornery.

127
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: I'd give them a run for their their money. The

128
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: hop thank you, I'm sorry. I apologize for missing that one. Everyone.

129
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: So they basically pack in this pollen ball, using collected

130
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: nectar and saliva to turn it into this tidy little lump,

131
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: and then they can so much that it's like a

132
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: third of their weight. So they're caring just these It's

133
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: actually kind of funny to see them because they just

134
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: have these big, old like um balls connected to their

135
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: legs that they're flying around on. And then they returned

136
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: to the hive and they have that beautiful hive structure

137
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: where you have these honeycomb all the little cells, and

138
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: they shove the water of pollen into an empty cell

139
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: um and then put a bit of nectar on top

140
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: to seal it in and then just let it marinate

141
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: in the juices of like saliva nectar and then all

142
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: of this pollen and then it turns into be bread

143
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: which that they can um either the adults can eat

144
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: later they can also like collect it and then use

145
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: it to feed their young and um people sometimes eat it,

146
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: although I'm not sure, Like there's often these claims about

147
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: health benefits of eating beeB it, and I'm not sure

148
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: that there's anything that's really um backed up by research.

149
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: Unit is feeling better than the person you're talking to, exactly.

150
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: The benefit is feeling like a fairy queen who reigns

151
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: over the realm of bees, and like have your tiny

152
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: tea set with your little bee bread. Does the bread

153
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: like actually baked like by the sun or why do

154
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: they call it? It's just it's sort of an oven

155
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: less bread. I think they call that's a good question.

156
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: Why they call it bread. I guess it's just they

157
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: look a little bit like buns. I don't know if

158
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: that's the reason why. That's how that's how it forms

159
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: in my mind, but yeah, I think it's just because

160
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: they store it in a pantry and it's a solid,

161
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's more of a solid than like honey.

162
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: Is so kind of seems bread like, and you know,

163
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: as humans we can technically eat it because it's pollen

164
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: and stuff, but I think there's like some complications with it,

165
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: like it can actually trigger allergies and some people I

166
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: can also, I think have like um, which does as

167
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: well a lot of you know, celia. That's true, that's true.

168
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if like if like if you have like

169
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: could you although I thought there's like some crossover if

170
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: you have a gluten intolerance and like potential other allergies.

171
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it's not um. It's not necessarily always

172
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: good to just eat. But you know, it's like, I

173
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: think it's kind of funny whenever it's like whenever there's

174
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: something that an animal makes, humans are just like, oh

175
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: if I eat that, maybe I'll like gain the powers

176
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: of a bee. That's funny. Yeah, I wonder It's almost

177
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: like I feel like we would learn more by trying

178
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: to do what they are their version of what they're doing,

179
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: instead of just taking it from the Like what would

180
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: are I mean, I don't know, it sounds gross, but

181
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: like could are are we not using our saliva in

182
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: the right way, like human saliva and crumbs? Maybe if

183
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: we collected by ch of pollen and pack it just

184
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: like lick it into a ball. You know. You know

185
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: what freaks me out about saliva is when you chew

186
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: on gum or like suck on a hard candy, you're

187
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: just like eating your flavored saliva because the candy goes

188
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: down so parts of it. It's a but you're digesting

189
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: it and you're you're like melting it in your mouth

190
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: with your saliva, so you are sucking down like flavored

191
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: sugary saliva. I suppose I guess that doesn't bother me

192
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: that much. I'm trying to think of what. I don't

193
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: know why it doesn't bother because I'm think it was

194
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: the opposite. It's spitting out the saliva, which that feels

195
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: grosser than just swallowing, right, that's true. I feel like

196
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: saliva when it's still in your mouth is fair game.

197
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: Once the saliva leaves your mouth, then you know, you

198
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: swallow your own saliva all the time. But if someone

199
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: was like, okay, spitting this cup, and I do it

200
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: because I like to blindly follow instruction, and then they're like,

201
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: now drink this saliva, I'd be horrified and wouldn't want

202
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: to do it, even though that i'd like happily slip

203
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: down my own saliva, like when it's still in my mouth, right, true. Yeah,

204
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: I've never understood when couples shar toothbrushes. That's always gross.

205
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: But then it's like, technically the saliva, it's not what

206
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: bothers me. But I think it's this idea that it's

207
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: a cleaning device. And I'm like, I don't know, I'll like,

208
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, kiss my significant other, but sharing a spoon

209
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: is it's fine, I'll do it, but it's still there's

210
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: a slight thing of like I don't know though. Yeah,

211
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: I'll like lick the inside of your mouth, and I'll

212
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: lick your teeth, but I will not use the same spoon. Right,

213
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: I'll use my tongue to floss your teeth. But sharing

214
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: a spoon, licking the same ice cream, I don't know.

215
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. So another be that does some confection

216
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: that looks delicious. I don't know if it would actually

217
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: taste good, but I do want to eat it. It

218
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: is the blue orchard mason bees. Now, these are gorgeous

219
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: little bees. They are different from honey bees in that

220
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: they are their wild bees and they do not live

221
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: in hives. Honey bees are considered somewhat domesticated because they

222
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: are not from North America. They're not indigenous to North America.

223
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: We introduce them to help us pollinate in agriculture and

224
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: obviously for their honey because it's delicious. But blue orchard

225
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: mason bees, as well as other types of wild bees,

226
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: they are native to North America. They are solitary bees,

227
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: so every female bees will have her own babies, and

228
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: they do not live in hives. They're uh, they're not

229
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: intolerant of each other, though they sometimes live in like

230
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: apartment complexes where it's like they all make their burrows

231
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: in the same area. In fact, like farmers will often

232
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: create artific a shell apartment complexes for the bees because

233
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: they love them. They use them for pollinating their crops.

234
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: Wait are there, so there's no queen bee because they

235
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: all have their own Are their kings are there? Like? Okay,

236
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: now it's still a society. It's just a free for all.

237
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: And they're these big competitions for males to try to

238
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: mate with females, and every female will have her own offspring,

239
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: and they like to live in hollowed out branches. So

240
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: just basically a little hole that they can just fit into,

241
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: and they will make their own nest by going out

242
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: and collecting clay, picking it up with their mandibles, flying

243
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: it back to that hollow twig, and then lining the

244
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: inside so they might make this nice clay lined den,

245
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: and then they go about creating. They look like they're

246
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: scoops of sorebet um for their offspring. That is a

247
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: mixture of pollen and nectar and probablybly a lot of

248
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: their saliva. Saliva gets everywhere in nature. I hate to

249
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: say it, um, you're probably eating a lot of bee

250
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: saliva with with the honey, which shouldn't be a problem.

251
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: It's great, but so like I said, they're excellent pollinators.

252
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: They even though they are their populations are much smaller

253
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: than honey bees. Hive structures are great for creating huge

254
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: populations because the queen bee is so well cared for

255
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: that she pumps out enormous numbers of offspring every day

256
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: and everyone in the hive is just ensuring the success

257
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: of these offspring. So it's it's they are able to

258
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: maintain a huge population, whereas solitary bees since every um,

259
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: basically every mother is only producing a few offspring. Uh,

260
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: they just aren't as populous as the other as the

261
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: hive introduced species of bees. But each individual bee is

262
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: a much better pollinator than each individual need be. They

263
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: really are very busy and they get They just traveled

264
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: to so many different flowers. They're excellent pollinators, great for agriculture.

265
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: It's like a smaller classroom versus a bigger classroom. Yeah,

266
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: one queen overseas the whole hive versus exactly it's accepted.

267
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that better works. I was trying to

268
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: think of a metaphor it, but then I'm like, that

269
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: feels too political. Was to try to be political? Well,

270
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: what Teresa is trying to say is that we should

271
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: use bees to teach our children. And I do like

272
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: this bold new direction for American for educational system. You know,

273
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: where's the Yeah, maybe those bee mothers could take on

274
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: a few human children, right, feed them just like shove

275
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: pollen and spit and our kids mouths, and nourish them.

276
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: I would have to be watched, my kid, I would live,

277
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: I too would littally watch. There's no bees in federal

278
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: prison right now? Oh? Did I mention that blue orchard

279
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: mason bees are blue? They're very they're very cute. I

280
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: love bees. They have sort of a shiny they're very fuzzy,

281
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: but then like they're under that, their exoskeleton has this

282
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: kind of like shiny iridescent blue color that's very pretty.

283
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: They are so cute. So they're almost like flies, but

284
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: like cute. Yeah, because they don't have like the striped

285
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: they don't have the striped pattern that honey bees have.

286
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: So you look at when you may not recognize it

287
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: as a B, it is a B. And like I

288
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: was saying, so they create basically this long tube that

289
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: is their din made out of clay inside a hollow twig,

290
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: and then they start collecting pollen and nectar and creating

291
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: little balls of It's basically a confectionery treat for their offspring,

292
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: and that they will put into the tube. And they

293
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: will lay a single egg on each of these balls

294
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: of pollen and nectar that they've collected and then seal

295
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: that in with a little bit more clay. Then move

296
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: on to this next compartment in the tube, lay another

297
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: egg on top of like a ball of this confection

298
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: this nectar all in mix, and then seal that in.

299
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: So they create like basically it's food and then egg

300
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: on top of the food wall, food egg wall, food

301
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: egg wall until they run out of space essentially, and

302
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: the food is It looks beautiful, especially when these bees

303
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: are using pollen from plants that have colorful pollens. So

304
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: there's flowers that have purple pollen. So when they use

305
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: purple pollen, they make purple balls of food and it

306
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: looks gorgeous. It looks delicious. It actually looks a lot

307
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: like like ube ice cream or sorbet. It's I want

308
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: to eat it, but it's not like when you go

309
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: to those fancy ice like salt and straw and like lavender,

310
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: and yes, exactly I love salt and straw. But yeah,

311
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 1: it does look like a lavender sorbet, but the larvae

312
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: on it doesn't look that up to kind of take

313
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: the baby bee. It looks like a little jelly. But

314
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: if it's about too wormy looking for my taste, Yeah, no,

315
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to eat. I don't want to eat

316
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: baby bees. But it is very It is cute somehow,

317
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: there's just something so charming about that, Like Mommy made

318
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: you a ball of like nectar and pollen sorbet, and

319
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: then you grow up eating it and then they weave

320
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: themselves a little cocoon and they come out next season

321
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: as adult bees and then they burst through the clay walls. Wow,

322
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: so they don't even go check on them. So that

323
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: the whole thing is I feel like, you know what

324
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: that I would wouldn't mind being a part if that's

325
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: if I could just um save up a ton of

326
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: like Kraft mac and cheese and then ballow it up

327
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: and like lay my egg in a ball and just

328
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: be like I'm gonna go summer and France, and I'll

329
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: when I come back, you're going to be a teenager

330
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: and I'll say hi to you. Then that like just

331
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: let them eat their way through their teens. Yeah, giant

332
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: ball of here's like a giant dag would esk sandwich

333
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: for you that will last your entire childhood, Eat up,

334
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: see you by good luck hat like with a like

335
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: a little like here's your lunch from mom, and it'll

336
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: last you for your entire entire larval state. Yeah, that's

337
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: my type of parenting. Yeah I could sometimes. Meal prep

338
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: is the difference between a tasty dinner and a toxic one.

339
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Loggerhead strikes a small, unassuming bird who likes to impale

340
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: its prey on thorns are able to snack on toxic

341
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: prey items by impaling them and leaving them out on

342
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: the spit for a few days for their toxins to degrade.

343
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: They'll impale toxic monarch, butterflies, lubber, grasshoppers, and toads and

344
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: wait until these ghoulish kebabs are ready to eat. When

345
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: we return, we're going to talk about more animal hobbies,

346
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: and my fellow knitters and crow shares out there are

347
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna want to stay tuned for this. Spiders are the

348
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: most famous silk spinners in the animal kingdom, from Charlotte's

349
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: Web to the Greek myth of Arachne, who foolishly challenged

350
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: a goddess to a weaving contest and was transformed into

351
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: a spider for her troubles. In fact, that's where the

352
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: term Arachney for spider comes from. But spiders are the

353
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: only master spinners in the arthropod world. Oh, there's a

354
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: there is a um house centipede in my bathtub, right? No? I,

355
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: Actually there's very few insects that really bother me, But

356
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: of them are silver fish, which don't scare me, but

357
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: they like gross me out. I don't like them. Cockroaches again,

358
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: they don't really scare me, but they gross me out

359
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: because they're just like so like oily and nasty. And

360
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: then the third one is how centipedes because they have

361
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: too many legs. In my opinion, I don't like it.

362
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't care for it. I don't get scared of spiders,

363
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: but how cinimpedes, it's just it's too much. It's like

364
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: you've got too many segments, you've got too many legs.

365
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: So I got a plastic cup and I put it

366
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: over the house cinipede in the bathtub, and I think

367
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: I've solved it. I think I've solved the problem. We'll

368
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: just have a plastic cup in the bathtub decoration. Yeah,

369
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: I mean it's there. I'll like glue it down and

370
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: with like seal it off and it's just like, hey,

371
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: look it's you know, that's the classic cup in the

372
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: shower kind of one thing. I feel like I took that.

373
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: Being home literally all day working is like if I

374
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: see a bug at work, like I might not like it,

375
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like it's my bug. When I

376
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: see a bug in my home, I'm like, it's it's

377
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: like another else to feed, Like if you don't, I

378
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: gotta move this bug outside, or if I don't move it,

379
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: then later I'm gonna wake up in the middle then

380
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: and be like did this bug is it still? Yeah,

381
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: it's to like go like crawl into my eyesocket and

382
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: live in the space. Spiders don't do that. Bugs generally

383
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: don't do that. I I actually don't. There are a

384
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: lot of bugs that I'm very tolerant of. Most bugs,

385
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: like I said, like even spiders. Sometimes I'll move them

386
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: outside just because if it's like big enough, I don't

387
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: want to like get startled and smoosh it. If it's

388
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: small enough, like I will just let it chill out

389
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: because it's probably eating insects for me and I enjoy that.

390
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: But you know, and then like you know, beatles, like

391
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: when they get in, like I send them outside because

392
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: like what are they going to do in here? There's nothing,

393
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: there's nothing for them here. But yeah, so I'm like, hey,

394
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: thanks for the application. It's not gonna work out. I

395
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: just don't think there's anything for you to do, Beetle, Like, right,

396
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 1: you're a June beetle. I don't think there's room for you.

397
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: My apartment is like two hundred square feet. I might

398
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: be down for a spider if if I could communicate,

399
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: because they do start on me. But you're right, they

400
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: are they're helping me eat insects. But I think if

401
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: I could be like spider, like how you said sorry,

402
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: you said like helping me eat insects like you you

403
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: both are like I have to do my working on

404
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: a big bulb insects. You like, I don't think I

405
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: can finish this. I would say, oh, hey, would you

406
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: like do you want to finish this? I'm done? Wait, Katie,

407
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: you don't eat your insects when there's no spiders. Somebody

408
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: just kidding. I just don't have a problem finishing all

409
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: my insects. True, true, Yeah, that's right. Waste not um.

410
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: If I could be like, hey, spider, I've cleared at

411
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: this quarter for you, and like every once in a

412
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: while check on you it, that's where you could be.

413
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: Please don't come out when I'm eating. You'll startle me.

414
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: Like we could make it work, but honestly, I've yet

415
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: to find a spider that's going to follow my rules.

416
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: So I do feel like maybe if you if you

417
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: set up like a little home for it, maybe then

418
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: I'd get a hint, like a tiny welcome matt, and

419
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: it would have to have eight welcome mats, because yeah,

420
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: eight welcome mats, like eight pairs of little fuzzy bunny

421
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: slippers and like like an easy chair and like a

422
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: copy of Arachnids Monthly um with that you know, centerfold

423
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: of Like, you know, that's very adorable and might actually

424
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: make be less afraid of spiders. Yeah. I think if

425
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: you're afraid of spiders and you make your spot your

426
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: house spiders like a little spider house, that will It's

427
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: just like it changes the game, you know. It's like

428
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: now they're now they're a renter. So there you go. Yeah, So,

429
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: speaking of spiders, one thing that sometimes bothers me about

430
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: Spider Man, amongst many other problems with the comic book universe,

431
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: is the fact he shoots webs out of his hands.

432
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Now I understand there's like different versions of Spider Man.

433
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: There's like the version where it's like he like makes

434
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 1: his web spinners out of technology, which always kind of

435
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: bothered me because it's like he was bitten by a

436
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: radioactive spider and then he creates webs in a lab

437
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: and puts them in cannuses on his wrists. It's like,

438
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: but true, you know, it was just a suggestion. It

439
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: was like I like that idea of I like where

440
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: you're going with that. Now I will just do most

441
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: of the other work, right, Like, so you're only spider

442
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: powers are climbing up walls and having good punches, Like

443
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: that's boring. And then there's like the movie version with

444
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: Toby McGuire where he like shoots it out of his

445
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: wrists for some reason and he's like, oh, how does

446
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: this work? And then he squeezes his hands and it

447
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: comes out, which is equally baffling because really with spiders,

448
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: it comes out of the sort of rear end of

449
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: their abdomens. And so that's that's how. So really Peter

450
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: Parker should be kind of spewing it sort of near

451
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: his tailbone, kind of not not out the butt, not

452
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: like out of the venus, but near the butt, you

453
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: know what I mean, maybe with a fun like sound

454
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: as he goes. But so, if you really want Peter

455
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: Parker to sling webs out of his hands, he shouldn't

456
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: have been bitten by a radioactive spider. It should have

457
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: been a radioactive web spinner web spinners are an insect

458
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: that live all over the world in tropical and subtropical regions.

459
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: And the males kind of are unassuming looking. They look

460
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: like long winged ants. They just kind of don't you know,

461
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: you would see when and not really think of anything.

462
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: Females are actually the ones that do not have wings,

463
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: and they have these like big doofy looking front legs

464
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: that look like little paddles. And this is where they

465
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: have the spider man powers because out of their front

466
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: feet they spew stick the strands of very fine silk.

467
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: So um. Females uh look a little they kind of

468
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: look like long termites, you know, like a termite, but

469
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: just sort of stretched out with those like weird little

470
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: paddle feet. And they live like to live like in

471
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: the king wood, like under a log or something, and

472
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: they will create these intricate silken tunnels out of these

473
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: threads from their front feet, and the tunnels, which are

474
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: called galleries, helped protect the web spinners from the elements

475
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: and from predators and from getting rained on. So they

476
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: will literally take their little feet where they have the

477
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of little hair like protrusions that come out

478
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: of their feet that um actually each of those hair

479
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: like protrusion spits out a strand of very very thin

480
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: thread and it's actually the I think it's like the

481
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: thinnest silk strands in nature created by an insect. And

482
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: then so like it it's a bunch of strands at once.

483
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: And then they just move their little feet back and

484
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: forth like they're at a loom, you know, like the

485
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: the shuttle in a loom where you pass that back

486
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: and forth. They're just doing that with their feet, like

487
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: back and forth and back and forth. It's so fine.

488
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: It looks like, yeah, it almost looks like it's just

489
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: like a piece of fabric. Yeah, yeah, it looks it

490
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 1: looks like um, I mean, it looks a little bit

491
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: like cobwebs or or like a silk or something. It's

492
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: it's actually it's very pretty to me. It uh in

493
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: sort of like a Gothic like you know, haunted, you

494
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like Victorian haunted cheek. So basically,

495
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: these web spinners make all these little tunnels out of

496
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: silk and they can live comfortably inside because they like

497
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: to feed on lichen and moss, which is plentiful in

498
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: the rotting wood that they are building this and the

499
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: silk canopies are so well made it'll catch the rain

500
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: as it falls down, and in fact, when water falls

501
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: on it, it like gets absorbed by the webbing and

502
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: it actually changes the structure of the webbing so it

503
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: becomes even more water resistance. So it's amazing in terms

504
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: of how it is so weather proof, and so they

505
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: can live there there, their offspring can live comfortably in there,

506
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: and they can actually be really social. So a bunch

507
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: of web spinners can work together to create a bunch

508
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: of like uh galleries and like webbing together. And even

509
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: though they don't necessarily live in colonies, um exactly, it's

510
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: still like their neighbors, and they're they're not too fussed

511
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: about sharing their their handiwork because it benefits all of

512
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: them to basically, once you've got a web spin or

513
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: making these things, and then more web spinners come in

514
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: the mix, you start to get these very elaborate structures

515
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: of canopies and it helps all of them. One thing

516
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: that's kind of funny is they can don't really turn

517
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: off their web spinning feet on que like it's sort

518
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: of the pressure that makes those silk injectors work. So

519
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: if they walk on their feet, just like normally it

520
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: will leave behind a trail of sticky thread that they

521
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: can get tangled in. So if they want to walk forwards,

522
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: they actually have to walk on their tippy toes like

523
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: a little ballerina so that they don't trigger the web spinners.

524
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: And so if they're trying to evade a predator and

525
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: they're like walking on their tippy toes away, it's really

526
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of cute and pathetic. But normally to evade a predator,

527
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: because they can't move very fast on their tippy toes,

528
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: they will shimmy backwards and back away from the predator

529
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: because that way they can still like walk on the

530
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: flats of their feet. And even though it leaves behind

531
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: strands of webbing, like, they won't get tangled in it

532
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: because they're moving backwards. So either way, like looking at

533
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: them trying to evade predators is really cute and sad.

534
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: Just leave them alone. All they want to do is

535
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: crochet and stay inside, just like me. It's cute that

536
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: I like the idea that to build like a town,

537
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: everyone has to build it. Like imagine if everyone in

538
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: l A in order to use the highways, you had

539
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: to like help build it, like traffic. It would help

540
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: traffic so much if like, you have to help build

541
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: the road that you want to drive on, and you

542
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 1: would treat it better, and you would drive safer, and

543
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: you would just be nicer to the people on the

544
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: road because you all built it together. So wait, if

545
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: we all build things together and work together, you mean

546
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: it might improve our quality of life? That sounds like socialism.

547
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: You're right, it was stupid. Why did I even say

548
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: you're right? Dumb dumb dum. Reviewer from like weed Goku

549
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: sixty nine says, like Teresa Len not only introduced politics

550
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: by saying our children should be educated by bees, but

551
00:32:51,120 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: started talking about be socialism propaganda another crafty insect. I'd

552
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: like to talk about our carpenter ants. Now, if you

553
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: live in an area that carpenter ants uh frequent, you

554
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: may already be familiar with these and perhaps have a

555
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: rather antagonistic relationship with them, because they are similar to

556
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: termites and that they carve out. Would unlike termites, they

557
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: don't actually ever consume. Would they just rip it out

558
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: with their mandibles to construct themselves a colony. So sometimes

559
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: when you think you may have termites, but you see

560
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: these big piles of like sawdust that is actually carpenter

561
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: ants because they leave behind these big piles of sawdust

562
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: that they are not eating. So carpenter ants are ants

563
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: who carve out these extensive structures. Usually they prefer rotting wood, um,

564
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: but sometimes they will attack like human structures that is

565
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: made out of lumber if it's soft enough, and they

566
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: will basically like dig out all of the wood between you.

567
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: How like trees have rings, and then like in between

568
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: each ring, you have like this new growth and like

569
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: this like kind of old growth and the new growth

570
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, so on and so forth, and then

571
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: you have um the tree rings and that's used to

572
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: sort of like date it. Well, the ants will like

573
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: carve out between the rings, and then what that does

574
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: is it gives them all of these little like concentric

575
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: walkways that they can use, uh and travel throughout the colony.

576
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: And then they create sort of a nursery area and

577
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: then all of these like satellite colonies. So they're basically

578
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: creating like a wooden city. It's really incredible and um

579
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: for in terms of like in forests, this is actually

580
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: great because again they like decaying trees and they do

581
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: a really wonderful job of clearing out like decaying trees

582
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: and helping with the decomposition process. You know, when you

583
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: have like a big tree that falls down in a forest,

584
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: as you start to break that tree up into its

585
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: comp posit parts and using them and then feeding on them,

586
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: you actually you know that that's a good process of

587
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: decay that helps the forest kind of regrow and have

588
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: like you you have this microbiome of these organisms that

589
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: flourish and uh, then you can have new plants that

590
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: that take its place, and like you know, you have

591
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: soil that can become more fertile and it's so it's

592
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: very useful. Um. And that's interesting this idea of like

593
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: going after rotting or decaying because normally to the human eye,

594
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: we think like, oh, that's like you see something dead

595
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: and you feel like it's death, but actually or you

596
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: see bugs and you think death, but the reality is

597
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: full of life. So that's exactly interesting way to think

598
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah. I remember when I was in sixth

599
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: grade camp we had um we would go on these

600
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: hikes and we each had our own like hike tour

601
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: guide and ours was obsessed with talking about decay, like

602
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: the decaying cycle. And at the time, like I was

603
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: a very scared little sixth grader. I was terrified of

604
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: being away from home. Um, and like I was just

605
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: like living in in fear, like in this camp and

606
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: like there are bats everywhere. I was like, everyone's gonna

607
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: get rabies, We're gonna get killed by a serial killer.

608
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: Now I'm on this hike with like this crazy lady

609
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: who's like talking about decomposition, and she's like, do you

610
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: kids want to see a dead horse? And everyone's like hey,

611
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: And so she takes us to this pile of hair

612
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: and teeth that was like a dead horse. She's like,

613
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: I know this may seem gross to you, but this

614
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: is actually a beautiful part of life. It is decay

615
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: is just as much of a part of life as

616
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: life is. And at the time, it's like, are you crazy?

617
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: You showed us a dead pony, like Twilight Sparkle is

618
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: dead and you're just showing it to us. No. I

619
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: understand where she's coming from, because when you have decay

620
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: in a forest, that means huge amounts of life that

621
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: springs from the decaying, whether it's a horse carcass or

622
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: a tree carcass. I feel like there's like an age appropriate,

623
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: like you've got to be a full adult and you've

624
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: under stood life before you see that, because I could

625
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: really fuck you up. Yeah, see that too young. I

626
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: turned out fine. I'm fine, don't worry. I turned out fine.

627
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: Now you can totally tell by how much I talk

628
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: about parasites and like dead things and grows stuff on

629
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: this show that that it was actually perfect that I

630
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: learned by seeing a dead horse in sixth grade, and

631
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: it was a good growing experience. I think you need

632
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: to build a welcome map for dead horses in your house.

633
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: That's true that I think that would heal me, Like

634
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: next to my eight welcome maps for the spider, just

635
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: have like one one welcome map for like welcome dead horses.

636
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm like a horse girl, but for dead and decayed horses.

637
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: So another interesting thing about carpenter ants is that, um

638
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: they have different jobs. So like in an ant colony

639
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: of like different jobs, you have the mean ant, you

640
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: have the worker ants. You sometimes in some ant colonies

641
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: you'll have like soldier ants that are like bigger and bulkier. UM.

642
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: With carpenter ants, they have worker ants, and they also

643
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: have what are called honey pot ants UM, which also

644
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: occur in other species of ants as well, but honey

645
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: pot ants are a type of worker ant whose job

646
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: is to become a living pantry for other ants by

647
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: eating so much that they basically turn into food balloons.

648
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: So they consume huge amounts of food and it turns

649
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: into this like sweet sugary liquid in their abdomens. And

650
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: but it's so much of it. I mean, well, I

651
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: know you said abdomen, but this photo, it just looks

652
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: like it's got a juicy booty. Yeah, this might be

653
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: my vibe. I feel like this ant. You're vibing with

654
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: this ant. Yeah, this is who I am. Yeah, I

655
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: mean it. It basically turns itself into a water balloon

656
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: of food, like you get it. It is. It's actually

657
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: kind of pretty. So like you see it, it's like

658
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: it looks like it's but um, it's just filled with

659
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: it's just this like amber orb of it's a juicy

660
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: Okay you missed. You miss those shorts that say juicy

661
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: on the back. Yes, I never got to have one

662
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: because they were the actual ones were expensive. Yeah, I

663
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: never got I never got those as a kid. I

664
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: was a very like straight lace little kid. I would

665
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: never get like a thing that's a juicy on my butt.

666
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm thinking of like just crocheting my own juicy

667
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: just shorts. I took wood wood shop in middle school.

668
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: I was like one of two girls in the class.

669
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: And for our final project, which was freestyle like do

670
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: whatever you want, I made a plaque that said naughty

671
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: or Nice And it was a picture of an angel

672
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: in the devil with the words naughty or nice, and

673
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: I just painted flames on the naughty nice angel wings

674
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: on the nice. Literally, everybody's like, why are you in

675
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: this class? Like working, but you're kidding, that's amazing. What

676
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: do you mean? Why are you in this class? Were

677
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: like boys, They weren't man called the real man would

678
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: congratulate you on your artistry. Were like trying to do.

679
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 1: They were like, I want to make use power tolls.

680
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: I was like, well, guess what those power tolls you

681
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: thought were so cool? I use them? And I made

682
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: it's a cute little not your nice plaque. That's amazing,

683
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: that's amazing. That's what I instead of like a live

684
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: laugh love plaque, I want like naughty or nice or

685
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: like hail Satan with these honey pot ants. Actually, sometimes

686
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: people will eat them because basically they're like little little

687
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: uh what's it called, not juicy fruit water gushers. Gushers,

688
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: they're like little living gushers because they are full of

689
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: sugary goo and they are apparently very delicious. If you

690
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: can get past the fact that your gushers, it might

691
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: be better for you than gushers. Gushers are just chemicals,

692
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: that's true. I'm actually grossed out by gush ers. Something

693
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: about it, Like you're like chewing on this thing and

694
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: it pops in your mouth. It's very like pustular that

695
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't like, you know what I mean? Yeah, I

696
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: feel like these Yeah they should make if they marketed

697
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: these ants and just be like, do you like your

698
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: gushers with the head and legs on them? That's a

699
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: good marketing technique, Like would you like a gusher but

700
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: it's alive and it's got a head and legs. They

701
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: do that already in marketing of candy, Like, Hi, kids,

702
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm living candy, murder me I want to be eaten? Yeah,

703
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: what's up with that? I wonder if there's like an

704
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: innate hunter gather vibe that we have, Like why do

705
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: we of all the mascots for eminem's why did we

706
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: just make them alive? We crave murder. It's because we

707
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: feel like hunting for we Yeah, we want to feel

708
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: like when we like chase down nerds, they're cute little

709
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: things that like are literally running away from us and

710
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: that we eat, and you know, I mean that's wild.

711
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 1: Maybe your quarantine hobby could be starting a gustatory adventure

712
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to eating insects. While I don't suggest

713
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: picking up random bugs and putting them in your mouth,

714
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: insects and other arthropods our beloved food all over the world,

715
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 1: our culture is just biased against them. Cooked scorpions, sand

716
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: stinger apparently tastes like soft shell crab. Roasted grubs reportedly

717
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: tastes like bacon meal. Worms have a slightly crunchy, nutty flavor.

718
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: Crickets are apparently like a combination of popcorn and almonds

719
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: with a few more legs. Sounds good. No, Well, personally,

720
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: I haven't quite gotten over my cultural hang ups about bugs,

721
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,959
Speaker 1: But maybe one of these days I'll enjoy some nice

722
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: fried grubs cricket flour pancakes with a dash of honey

723
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: pot and syrup. When we return, we're going to talk

724
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: about some star gazing with an alien danger. Imagine you're

725
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: enjoying a starry sky. Wouldn't it be nice to grow

726
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: wings and fly up into the stars, bathed in the

727
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: glowing light of a billion distant suns. You see O

728
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: Ryan and the Little Dipper, and well, actually you don't

729
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: really recognize these constellations. That's strange. What's going on? Why

730
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: are you suddenly stuck as if you've hit a ceiling?

731
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: And what's that thing crawling towards you? Well you'll find

732
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: out soon enough. Section I've just called vibing because I

733
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: feel like one of the hobbies of the Quarantine twenty

734
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: twenty times to try to stay I don't know, just

735
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: like stick keep your spear it's up. Is just finding

736
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: out ways to vibe that, you know what I mean.

737
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: It's like almost like you know, like your brain can

738
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: provide like serotonin and whatever, you know, the mood enhancers.

739
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: But I feel like a lot of cultures have like

740
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: festival of lights in the times um, like during the

741
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, winter, and this photo of these lights, it's

742
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: kind of like an external way to add um. You

743
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: might think it's frivolous like decoration, but it's not. It's

744
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: actually to produce those like happy happy hormones. Yeah, something nice. Yeah,

745
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: I feel like like we have to kind of think

746
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: of ways, like because all of those things like festivals

747
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: and rituals and gatherings, like I think it serves an

748
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: extremely important purpose for human psychology and like the gathering

749
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: of the Juggalos exactly, like it's a it's a yearly migration,

750
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: one of the largest migrations in the natural world, that

751
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: of the Juggalos. Um. But yeah, I mean it is

752
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: really important obviously, like our health and not dying or

753
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: killing people with COVID is more important at this time,

754
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 1: Like that takes priority keeping people safe from a deadly disease. However,

755
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: I think if we can figure out ways to like

756
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: just kind of enjoy ourselves and get that like and

757
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm like very agnostic, but I think there's a lot

758
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: to be said about like rituals and festivals in terms

759
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: of that like kind of inner fulfillment there. It's there's

760
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: something really like I don't know, like if you if

761
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: you want to put up like like string lights or

762
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: festival lights or like continue with sort of um, I

763
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: guess just like do fun things like to keep you

764
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: you said, lights and I did buy led lights to

765
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: put up, and I just realized I put up. I

766
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: bought some like space prints, like because like NASA's photographs

767
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: are in the public and sometimes people print posters. I

768
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: bought a bunch of Galaxy photographs and put them up.

769
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: And I think, probably innately, I'm missing, yes, like my

770
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: connection to nature and the sky, even though I've only

771
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: lived in big cities where I really star gaze. I

772
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: just maybe subconsciousness at the very least I get a

773
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: little bit of it. When I'm out, I don't have

774
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: it at all. I mean, like the lights of the

775
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: city maybe take the place of the lights of the

776
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: stars in our brains. And if we're not going out

777
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: in the city at night and getting the lights and

778
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: like you know, going to movies where we're getting all

779
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: this light and stuff, like, maybe that part of us.

780
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: It's like I like, because I share that exact thing,

781
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: Like I want to just look at a night sky

782
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: and look at the stars. I can't because we're in

783
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: l A and um yeah, and I've been waking up

784
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: with the sun not with no alarm, and it at

785
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: first alarmed me, but I think it is my body

786
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: being like you're at Hunter gather mode. Now you need

787
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: to follow the diurnal rhythm of the sun. You just

788
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: started and it's been doing that for weeks. I just

789
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: I was wide open as the sun's coming up, and

790
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, I guess we're awake now. Yeah, because we're

791
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 1: talking about like lights and I love that, Like you're

792
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: thinking about star gazing and stuff. I think there's something

793
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: that is so aspirational about that, like when we're kind

794
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: of stuck in this like survival mode and um. There

795
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: is an insect that also likes to create an artificial

796
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: environment of stars, and this is known as Arachno Kampa luminosa,

797
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: which is also known as the glow worm. The New

798
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: Zealand glow worm is that artificial environment of stars. Like

799
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: what what? What are we in l a or something? Egg? Yeah,

800
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: nice got him roasted, Hollywood destroyed. So these glow worms

801
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: are actually the larva of a fungus gnat, so fungus net.

802
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: It's sort of like a It looks a bit like

803
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: a mosquito, but it does not feed on human blood.

804
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: It feeds on fungus and seedlings. But their larva are

805
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: glow worms and they are so creepy and beautiful. They

806
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: are these transparent, long like wormy maggots, and they but

807
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: they have bioluminescent butts like they're sort of caboose area.

808
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: It glows blue. And they live on the ceilings of caves,

809
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: so they weave silk and hammocks all along the ceiling

810
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: and they actually travel through these silken hammocks um like

811
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: they're on a monorail essentially, like all these like sort

812
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: of mono rail uh worms going around with their glowing cabooses.

813
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: But they live in these big groups and when they're

814
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,439
Speaker 1: all clustered together like that, they actually look a lot

815
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: like us beautiful starry sky, like you're looking at an

816
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: image of them, and they actually flicker as well, if

817
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: you wanted to look at the video you cook, they

818
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: kind of glow and flicker. So the video. Okay, so

819
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: I see the string, So is that all one worm?

820
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: That's a long string? There's um no that I feel

821
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: like jellyfish almost where they're like yeah no, so this

822
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: the worm. Those like dangling tentacle like things are actually

823
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: strands of silk that the worms have constructed. So there's

824
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: strands of silk that have little globs of sticky saliva

825
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: on it. So they look a little bit like icicles

826
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,720
Speaker 1: or slagtites, but they're actually just strands of silk with

827
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: with sticky fit on it. And the reason they do

828
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: that is that even though they're beautiful and it looks

829
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: like this fairy wonderland, these are vicious carnivores. So they

830
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: will create these intricate like it's beauty. It looks like

831
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: Christmas lights and like you know, like those sort of

832
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: like icicle Christmas lights that angle down. It looks like

833
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: an exhibit that would be at a like a music festival. Yeah,

834
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: like a dum festival. Yeah, it's funny that you said

835
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: there they're caboss glow because I'm like, I mean, give

836
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: it like five ten years. That's going to be a trend.

837
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: Like some some Hollywood influencer is going to be like,

838
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: have you gotten the latest surgery to get a bioluminescent ask,

839
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, come on, I can't wait. But I'm

840
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: going to light at the club. Yes, please, thank you.

841
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: I'm going to get blowing button plants and and then

842
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: learn to twerk so that you know, that'll be my excuse.

843
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: It's like, look, I have to learn but dances because

844
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 1: my butt clows now I'd be depriving the world of

845
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: this glowing. But I'm only half joking. I'm like bioluminescent,

846
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: but especially if it's a nature, I could see this exactly.

847
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: Now I'm thinking I should crochet some juicy pants. But

848
00:50:53,920 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: with like bioluminescent threats, I support it. Yes, So they

849
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: create so all of these like beautiful dangling threads, and

850
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: then the worms themselves are bioluminescence, so the threads aren't

851
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: actually glowing, but it's reflecting the bioluminescence of the worms.

852
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: And all of this effect creates this dazzling lights light

853
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 1: display that moths and other insects that are traveling through

854
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: the cave will see. And moths actually use starlight to navigate,

855
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: so they don't just like go towards light because they're dumb.

856
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: They go towards light because they actually are able to

857
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: navigate in the night sky by following the stars in

858
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: the moon. And so in these caves, when you have

859
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: this like fake display of twinkling stars, it disorients the moths.

860
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: They fly towards the fake sky, even though it's not

861
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: a sky at all, it's just the ceiling of the cave.

862
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: And then they land into these sticky hanging threads and

863
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: become trapped. And as a glow worm feels a moth

864
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: vibrating their thread, they will reel in the thread and

865
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: eat the poor moth that thought it was flying towards starlight.

866
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so sad. I mean, I hate moths,

867
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, but what we do when we

868
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: moved to big cities, which is all getting trapped in

869
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: the web. It's that's exactly what liberal lies, socialism, l

870
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: A is just it's a little people don't know this,

871
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: but there's actually just a giant glow worm that eats everybody.

872
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: The earthquakes are the vibrations. That's right. Look it up. People.

873
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: Do you do your research? Don't you love it when

874
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: someone like proposes a crazy conspiracy theory, You're like, what

875
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 1: are you talking about? When I eat you do your research.

876
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 1: Every single time I've seen a documentary about conspiracy theorists,

877
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: the one person, like the doctor or the expert, who

878
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: was like, so I did, and it's like within minutes,

879
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: like and I disproved them immediately. It's like anyone's like

880
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: look it up. It's like, okay, I did. It's very

881
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: easy to disprove you, but you're not looking at the

882
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 1: right websites. Then if you ignore all of these other

883
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: books and then you just look at this one thread

884
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: written by this one blogger who's anonymous, but he keeps

885
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: it that way to protect himself and he doesn't back

886
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: it up with anything, but trust me, it's real. Like, OK,

887
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: Twitter is run by big glow Worm and everyone knows it.

888
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: So if you read sources by big glow worm, guess

889
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: what they're gonna deny that a giant glow worm lives

890
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:38,720
Speaker 1: in l a and consumes everybody. Wake up sheeple. Anyways, UM,

891
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: it's really interesting because like the glow worms are so

892
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: committed to the grift, they actually there's like multiple glow

893
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: worm colonies within one cave, so a bunch of like

894
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: groups of glow worms that all kind of similar to

895
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: the web spinner where they kind of share their um.

896
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: They're woven silken runways a little bit or not runways,

897
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: sort of like railways and um. But the different colonies

898
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: also seem to collaborate. So one colony will have a

899
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: cycle where they're glowing and attracting insects, and then they'll

900
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: sort of like shut off and then another colony will

901
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: take their turn glowing, and it's relatively news to research,

902
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 1: so it's not exactly researchers aren't exactly sure why they

903
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: seem to take turns. Maybe it's like sort of a

904
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: way to ensure that the cave is sort of glowing

905
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: at all times, so you're always sort of getting a

906
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: flow of insects, but it's not going just to one

907
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: colony because they probably can't handle that many moths at once,

908
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 1: So you're sort of like working together to create a

909
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: eternally fake starlet sky to trick moths, but then making

910
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: sure all of the colonies sort of like get sort

911
00:54:52,200 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: of equal distributions of food. Again socialism. And then the

912
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: last thing I want to talk about is just so

913
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: charming and fun. It is a fun little game that

914
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: dolphins play. So dolphins are very playful, intelligent creatures, and

915
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: dolphins and other cetaceans like belugas like to do fun

916
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:26,439
Speaker 1: underwater vape tricks, except not with vape, just with air.

917
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: So you know how like people with like I don't

918
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: have anything against vaping really I vape culture though sometimes

919
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, we're so it's someone who

920
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: has dedicated their life to doing doing vape tricks. You know,

921
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: I think they're awesome. I love to see a vape trick.

922
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,959
Speaker 1: I Uh, the lady doth protests too much, I think,

923
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: but I do want to. A couple of years ago,

924
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: when we were cracked, I thought it would before. I

925
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: never ended up doing this, but this is one of

926
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: those ideas. I was like, if I have too much time,

927
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 1: I'll do this. I wanted to write a step up

928
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: but with a kid who wanted to go to school

929
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: for competing vape tricks. Yeah, but mom, I want to

930
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to college. I want to vape.

931
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: I want to be a vape bard. Now it is,

932
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 1: it is. I actually love to see a vape trick.

933
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: Those are those are pretty sick and tight and cool.

934
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: But dolphins, Katie's doing the check. I'm doing it exactly,

935
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:27,240
Speaker 1: just taking a big, big half of vape. As they say,

936
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 1: as the kids say, don't they say that, you know

937
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: you're just gonna go and do some vape. I'm gonna

938
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: do some vape and blow some sick clouds. I'm very cool.

939
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: Love me, zoomers, love me so dolphins. Hey, zoomers, you

940
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 1: may think dolphins boring right. No, turns out they love

941
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: to do sick vape tricks to under the water, So

942
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: they will blow bubble rings underwater um using nothing but

943
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 1: their blowhole and little flipper tricks where they will create

944
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: a vortex by moving the water with their flipper, they'll

945
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 1: create a spinning vortex. They'll use their blowhole to blow

946
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: a bubble of air towards the vortex, and as it

947
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: gets caught up in the vortex, it creates this perfect,

948
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: beautiful shimmering ring of air under the water. You know

949
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: that scene in like the Hobbit where Gandalff is like

950
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: check this, check this out, froat, I'm gonna blow like

951
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: or no, no, wait. He's sitting with Bilbo and Bilbo

952
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: blows like a smoke ring and Gandalff is like, oh yeah,

953
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Check this out, and he blows like

954
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: a whole like boat out of smoke out of his pipe. Okay,

955
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: Gandalf like, chill out. You know, I have no idea

956
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: if this is real or not. I mean, it sounds

957
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: like something that could happen, but it also sounds like

958
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: a joke with the Gandalff thing. I guess I don't know.

959
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings well enough to know if this

960
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: is a joke about Lord of the Rings or if

961
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: this is true. Yeah, it's a fictional like the movie

962
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: is fictional on account of all the magic and stuff.

963
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: But it did happen. I mean, like, if this is

964
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: from it, I know, I'm just kidding and giving me

965
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: a hard time whether it's aren't real, tore Tha, No,

966
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: it does happen in the movie. I don't remember if

967
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: it actually happens in the books. Um, please don't hurt me,

968
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: Tolkien fans, I don't remember the books that well. But yeah, no,

969
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: it definitely happens in the movie. And it's always I

970
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: always feel like Gandolf is kind of being a jerk

971
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: because it's like, oh, you can smoke blow like a ring,

972
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: Like I can make a boat out of smoke. Because

973
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm a wizard. It's like, yeah, we know your magic

974
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: and stuff, like you know, it's just but this is

975
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: how I feel like the dolphins are flexing on us,

976
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, you can blow a smoke ring.

977
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: I guess that's cool. I can make a shimmering ring

978
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: of air underwater that is shiny and beautiful, and they

979
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: will do all sorts of trick with the rings, so

980
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: they can manipulate it. They can push it forward or

981
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: make it like do a spin. They'll even like blow

982
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: like a second ring and then like join them together

983
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: so that it forms one big ring. And when you

984
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: watch a video of them, which I will include in

985
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: the show, notes, like, it's very clear they are just

986
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: having a good time. There doesn't seem to be any

987
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: purpose to this. Now, dolphins do use bubbles as tools.

988
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes they'll create bubble nets where they basically swim in

989
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: a circle around a group of fish and then blow

990
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of like bubbles and or like use their

991
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: uh flippers to store up a bunch of bubbles and

992
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: the water and that traps the fish in this column

993
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: of bubbles and then they use that to hunt. But

994
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: with these bubble rings, there's no seemingly no practical purpose

995
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 1: to it. It's just for fun. They're just playing. It's

996
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: it's and they seem to understand the physics of the

997
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: bubble ring, not just in how they like interact with

998
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: it and like push it around and play with it,

999
00:59:56,080 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: but they also there's researchers that observe them doing this,

1000
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: and they found that like you know the trick where

1001
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: they do like the first bubble ring, and then they

1002
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: do a second one and then join them together. The

1003
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: dolphins would only do that if the first bubble ring

1004
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: was structurally stable, so they like the dolphins learn like, Okay,

1005
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: this bubble ring is like looks really good and stable,

1006
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: so I can blow a second one to join with

1007
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: the first one. So that means they know how this works.

1008
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,959
Speaker 1: They understand the physics of these bubbles and like how

1009
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: to do sick bubble tricks. And it's they're almost like

1010
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: the cats of the ocean, like cats who just hunt

1011
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: but also play with their food and just a yard

1012
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: they and they do literally play with their food, like

1013
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: you'll see an article come out every so often where

1014
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: it's like dolphins like to torture seals and like you

1015
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: think they're cute and fun, but really they're like murderous

1016
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: tortures and and it's just well, I mean, have you

1017
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: ever had a house cat? Yeah, Like, predators like to

1018
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: play with humans should not be speaking. I mean we

1019
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: literally kill animals and then mold them into shapes of

1020
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 1: other animals and eat them like dinoats. What's up with that?

1021
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: That is such a crime against chickens. I'm not like

1022
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: and look, I I must admit I'm not a full vegetarian.

1023
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: I do eat chickens, but I do feel weird about

1024
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: disrespecting them by like forming them into dinosaurs where it's

1025
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: like chickens, remember when you were a mighty dinosaur and

1026
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: now you're just a little feathery dinosaur that we eat. Yeah, yeah,

1027
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: that's true. There's that other layer. I mean, if you

1028
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: believe in evolution, which I don't know. I'm just kidding, Um,

1029
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Teresa's cancel, don't cancel me. Yeah. No, we're definitely the worst,

1030
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: and we love to project like can you be these

1031
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: animals are hunting? It's like, well, we just read them

1032
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:55,479
Speaker 1: to eat. Yeah, we uh, we do factory farming, which

1033
01:01:55,520 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: some might argue is more cruel. Yeah. Yeah, I mean

1034
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: we are like I like really like throw the first stone,

1035
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: which like I do. I do eat me by the way,

1036
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 1: I just like to make observations. These are also roasting

1037
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: me myself. I'm not trusting any stones on anyone or like, oh,

1038
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: dolphinspied each other. It's like, yeah, we have, we have.

1039
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: We have like basically any time we're like, oh, these

1040
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 1: animals are vicious and they fight each other we have

1041
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: nukes that could we have enough nukes to basically destroy

1042
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the planet like ten times over. So if we treated

1043
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: animals the way we defend male perpetrators in Hollywood when

1044
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: stuff gets out wherever, it's like, yeah, but like, okay,

1045
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 1: that's like how many people just two people? Yeah, but

1046
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: look at all these good things they do with their food.

1047
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: That dolphin ripped the seals head off and is playing

1048
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: with it like a football. It's like, but you know,

1049
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: he's such a he's such a nice dolphin though, dolphin,

1050
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: Like he's got a great career and like, dolphin, Look

1051
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: how many kids has that dolphin made? Laugh? You know, right,

1052
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: like the captain of the Dolphins soccer team potential dolphins. Uh,

1053
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: don't cancel dolphins. Don't cancel dolphins, is what I'm saying.

1054
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: You know, like I can't, can't. There's a lot of

1055
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: things we should cancel. Dolphins aren't one of them. Because

1056
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: of all the cool bubble tricks they do. I really

1057
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: am kind of a sucker for the dolphin bubble bubble tricks.

1058
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: They like. They'll like sometimes balance sort of the bubble

1059
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: ring on their nose and then like whip it around

1060
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: and it's like dolphin. I see what you're doing. You're

1061
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: like one of them is eating a bubble. I saw that, Yeah, snappy,

1062
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Like imagine if this was a fish chump, I could

1063
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: be fish anytime I want. Is there any maiding rituals

1064
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: to this or is this just for fun? It's hard

1065
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: to say, Like I wouldn't necessarily rule that out. I

1066
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: don't think there's any concrete research on whether it's a

1067
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: form of communication, because certainly they do sometime do like

1068
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: bubble blowing and like showboating as some form of communication.

1069
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: It can be used to like impress other dolphins. I

1070
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: don't know that it is strictly a mating routine, but

1071
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: I think it's possible that, like they could use it

1072
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: to impress the ladies, be like, hey checked this at

1073
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: I learned this trick. I like how it the tornatove love.

1074
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, while I'm hooked. Well, is the only men

1075
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: who did about? No? No? But I think they all

1076
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: do it. It's it's just fun. It's like it it's interesting.

1077
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: It's almost like dancing, because some people humans dance for

1078
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, to impress the potential base, but also people

1079
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: just dance. Plus yeah, okay, I'm one of those people

1080
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: because I danced by myself alone, and it's just as fun.

1081
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: I was going to the book I danced for exercise.

1082
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Now I have that um Switch game called Just Dance

1083
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: twenty and it's where like it tracks your movements somewhat

1084
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: uh and like rates. It's definitely not doing a great

1085
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: job tracking my movements because if it really could, it

1086
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: would give me like an f on every dance I do.

1087
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: But it's it's like, oh, You're a superstar. I'm like no, no, really,

1088
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm not, like, no, you are dancing? Is how you

1089
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: much you feel it? I don't let the screen tell

1090
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,919
Speaker 1: you what to do. I think that like if it had,

1091
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: I do want it to. Like like if I could

1092
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: wear a shirt that's like connected to the switch somehow

1093
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: and it measures how much I sweat, I feel like

1094
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: that would be the true measure of like how good

1095
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm dancing, because yeah, it's very sweaty when I get

1096
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: into it, but it is. It is fun. Sometimes I

1097
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: will change into more comfortable dancing clothes to cook because

1098
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: I really like to cook and dance at the time,

1099
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: because I'll play music and I'll just dance around and

1100
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: then move into my living room while like you know,

1101
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: the waiting for the water to oil and just do

1102
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: a little chork number and yeah it's fun. So but

1103
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think that we've basically word every hobby

1104
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: you could possibly meet in uh and quarantine, whether it

1105
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 1: is baking bread out of your own saliva and pollen

1106
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: or creating a fake starry sky with a bioluminescent. But

1107
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think we got everything covered. Do you

1108
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: have any new hobbies do you think you're going to

1109
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: try out to like, like inspired by these animals? Yeah,

1110
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: the bioluminescent, but yeah, I'm gonna go for that. Yeah,
