00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: From House Stuff Works dot Com? Hey, and welcome to

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Josh Clark, There's Charles W. Chuck Bryant,

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: and this is Stuff you should Know Reptilian edition. That

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: was not funny. Yeah, I'm really sure. I didn't expect it.

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: I can't fake laugh. I got you yesterday, didn't I? Um,

8
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: when I did a great fake laugh. Oh that made

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: me really laugh. Yeah, and that's ultimately what you want. Josh,

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: And we're shooting TV promos and he handed up a

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: little at one time, but they never do sometimes do Um.

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: So I have a I have a question for you. Yes,

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: do you know the difference between a crocodile and an alligator? Chuck? Um? Yeah, sure,

14
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: all right, let's hear it's smart guy. Well, no, go ahead,

15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean I don't want to steal your thunder. Okay, Well,

16
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean they don't live in the same places. No,

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: that's a big one. And a crocodile has a gland

18
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: and its tongue that helps get rid of excess salt,

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: which allows it to live in brackish water. Salt water.

20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: Alligators don't have that, right, and that's why they are freshwater. Right.

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: If you see an alligator in the ocean, you're on acid. Um,

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: it's probably not crocodiles in the ocean now there. They

23
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: could be in the ocean if they wanted to. Is

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: the point. I just don't want to. But you still

25
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: have a high likelihood of being on acid. If you

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: see a crocodile ocean. Yeah, I would say you may

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: want to rethink what you're seeing. That's one thing. Another

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: one is, um, the crocodile has a V shaped snout,

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: whereas the alligator has more of a rounded you. Um,

30
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: and uh. Lastly, you can always tell a crocodile because

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: it's fourth front tooth on the bottom sticks up over

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: its top lips, so when it's mouth clothes, there's always

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: one tooth sticking out. Snaggle tooth. Yeah, it's a snaggle tooth.

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: The crocodile is interesting. I remember learning most of this

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: and uh back in the school in days, but I

36
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: never heard about the tooth. What is this podcast if

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: not a revisit to school and then something back to

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: school without Rodney Dangerfield. Well, you know so, Um, crocodiles

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: and alligators diverged. Um uh sixty five million years ago. Yeah,

40
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: they had a big falling out and Carnes or cairns.

41
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with these things? I've heard of that.

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: What is that? C A I R N S. For

43
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: all intents of purposes, it's another either alligator crocodile. But

44
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: all three of them they went their own ways. They

45
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: broke up like the eagles, uh sixty five million years ago. Yeah,

46
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: they all went on to do their own thing. The

47
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: eagles go back, got back together. Though. Oh yeah, you

48
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: said you've never seen the h is. Oh now I

49
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: have to show that to you. I'll send you that link. Okay. Anyway, Um,

50
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: and I forgot what the point was there any years ago?

51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they broke up the band, I got you.

52
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: The point of all this is you've heard that you

53
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: can outrun an alligator in a zigzag. I have heard

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: both alligator and crocodile. Okay, so it's maybe a shared commonality,

55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: probably depending on where you live. The only shared commonality

56
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: is that it's not really true with either one. Yeah,

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: I guess it is true, but it's just completely superfluous information,

58
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: that's right, the MythBusters busted this one wide open with

59
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: crocodiles and alligators. Um, with live crocodiles and alligators. Yeah,

60
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: they had their live alligator, uh with cork corks on

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: its teeth. Like. They stuffed pantyhose with quail like dead

62
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: quail and attached it to the uh their little dummy

63
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: guy they always use, and had a zigzag course and

64
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: then I think they used I think cary like really

65
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: got in there. But they basically they busted it because

66
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: they couldn't even tempt them to come after them, which

67
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: is sort of the point. It is the point the

68
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: out running an alley gator and his zigzag. Um. Yes,

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: you could outrun an alligator in his zigzag. You could

70
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: also outrun an alligator in a straight line. Um. And probably,

71
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: like you say, the point is that an alligator is

72
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: not really interested, inn't you? Like almost all animals were

73
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: way more afraid of them. I'm sorry, they're way more

74
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: afraid of us than we're afraid of them. Yeah, I mean,

75
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: I guess we're afraid of them, but you know, you

76
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Sure they don't want human interaction. No,

77
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: we smelled of them. Yeah, a bear didn't want to

78
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: kill you. A shark doesn't want to kill you. An

79
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: alligator doesn't want to kill you. No, No, I think

80
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: a bear wants to kill you if you're wherever it

81
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: doesn't think you should be. Now, a bear wants to

82
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: get into your state cooler in the campground. You've seen,

83
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: grizzly man. You should destroy this tape alright, so you

84
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: can out run an alligator. Josh, you were right, because

85
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: they top out at about eleven miles per hour, which

86
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: is nothing. It's actually be fast, dude. Eleven miles an hour.

87
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: That's tough to keep up for a little while. Luckily,

88
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 1: humans can sprint it's called foot speed, from between twelve

89
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: and fifteen miles an hour, and not only can we

90
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: run faster, but we have more endurance. And alligator is

91
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: not going to chase you down the street in your

92
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: neighborhood in Pensacola. It will come up and growl at

93
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: you on the porch, which apparently is defensive posturing, not aggression. Yeah,

94
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: that's true. I actually, uh did a canoeing trip down

95
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: the Okefinoke many years ago, not that many years ago,

96
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: like two years ago. It's been the last like twelve

97
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: or fourteen years. I wasn't like a little kid. I

98
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: think it was booze involved. Uh, And there were alligators

99
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: there and you know, near our canoe. And then when

100
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: you do a trip through the Okayfinoki, one of the

101
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: coolest things is is you don't, uh, there are no campgrounds.

102
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: It is just swampland, and you have to reserve these

103
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: camping decks and you're the only person that can stay

104
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: on the deck because it's like whatever, fifteen by fifteen feet,

105
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: and so you reserve these things ahead of time into

106
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: your trip, and so you were the you see no

107
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: other human being once you set off in that canoe.

108
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: It's neat and kind of creepy. But um, did you

109
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: have a gun with you? Sharp Rock? I don't own

110
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: a gun. Um did you borrow a gun? No. We

111
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: had a lot of boxed wine though, and food and

112
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: it was me and my buddy Claying Big John, and

113
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: we all went and um, we got on our camping

114
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: deck and by this place right by this sort of

115
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: open lakey area, just gorgeous. Man, one of the great

116
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: trips of my life. And in the morning we woke

117
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: up surrounded by alligators like we saw eyes everywhere and

118
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: we heard them growling. It woke us up, and they

119
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: were just hanging out, letting us know they were there,

120
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: and it was it was a little unsettling, but I

121
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: wasn't I wasn't like scared the whole time, but I

122
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: was definitely aware. Like when you look in this water,

123
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: it looks like iced tea. It's you know, they call

124
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: it black water, but it's really brown. But you can't

125
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: see like three inches down underneath the water. You can't

126
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: see anything. So that's what's terrifying is if I fell

127
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: out of the canoe, I'd probably just get back in

128
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: and be no big deal. But you think if I

129
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: fall out the canoe, I'm going to get eaten alive.

130
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: So it's a little intimidating, yeah, Because I mean you

131
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: say that, you know, alligators don't want to kill you

132
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: or anything like that. They will eat you though, if

133
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: given the chance, if that's just how things end end up. Um,

134
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: the problem is is that you or me aren't going

135
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: to run into too many alligators that could eat us,

136
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: which means that they would have to tear us into pieces,

137
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: which an alligator tends not to like to do. Because,

138
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: as I understand from reading this article, alligators are a

139
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: little lazy. Yeah, they like to eat their meals in

140
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: one big, gulpy manner. So like a normal size alligator,

141
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: which would be about five ft or so, UM is

142
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: gonna eat crayfish and turtles and snakes and things like that,

143
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: and even a small dogs not really at a threat

144
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: by an alligator. I don't know if I throw my

145
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: Chihuahua in the Okefinoki and say go for a swim.

146
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: But you're right, at the very least, it's just dirty.

147
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: It's not dirty. It's just different water. Uh, it's nice

148
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: if you chuck all water is beautiful. It was. I mean,

149
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: it's not like it looks gross. It's just brown. So

150
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: you talk about small alligators five feet in under, um,

151
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: that's a vast majority, as I understand. Um, apparently humans

152
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: like ones that are even smaller. You've heard of having

153
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: an alligator as a pet. Yeah, Bannon specifically advises against this.

154
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: I think it's Rex Bannon from the beer bearing episode

155
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: of The Simpsons Moses a pet store all of a sudden, Yeah,

156
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: Um and that. But that's how most um alligator attacks

157
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: happen is when you try to basically adopt an alligator

158
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: as a pet, right, Because these things, even if they're small,

159
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: like a three foot alligator, it's tiny, and they make

160
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: cute noises and they're weird looking, they will still take

161
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: a bite out of you if they feel threatened. And

162
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: even if you're not going to die, you're still have

163
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: to you the hospital. Yeah, and and and a mother

164
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: alligator will certainly attack if you're trying to take one

165
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: of her little babies as a pet um. Not a

166
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: good idea. And these things we we mentioned they're not

167
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: super fast on land, but they can swim like twenty

168
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: Yeah that's the big deal. Like, yeah, you can outrun

169
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: an alligator, and you probably can't out swim an allegy. Definitely,

170
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: you definitely can't. So the ones that you and I

171
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: would need to be afraid of would be one of

172
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: a full grown one, maybe up to like eleven feet. Yeah,

173
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: that's large. These are the ones that could look at

174
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: us and be like, I might be able to get

175
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: that down my gullet in one bite, so let me try,

176
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: or at least a small kid, you know. Um. The

177
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: thing is that even these big ones, like you say,

178
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: they're more scared of us than we are of them. Yeah,

179
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: maybe at the very least, they don't want to be

180
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: anywhere around us typically. Yeah, and they don't want to

181
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: be in a fight either, like any kind of prey

182
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: that's going to fight back. There's not interesting though you

183
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: said they're lazy. They want something easy that they can

184
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: just Hey, look at that turtle. Okay, I got one

185
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: for you, smart guy. How about whenever you're like paddling

186
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: down the okay finocchi, and there's an alligator on land

187
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it comes into the water

188
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: towards you. Is that not aggressive? That is not aggressive?

189
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: You know what that is? What? It's the alligator feeling

190
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: threatened and feeling way more at home in the water

191
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: where they can hide except their little eyeballs that are

192
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: on top of their head. Right. So they're not coming

193
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: after you. You've just startled the alligator and it just

194
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: so happens to be to seem like it's coming towards you.

195
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: It's just going back to its home. I get what

196
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: you are. If you're in a canoe and you see

197
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: fifteen alligators on land all of a sudden jump in

198
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: the water towards you, you think they're coming to attack

199
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: me and kill me and overturn a bote. I've seen

200
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Temple of Doom. Yeah, and that's gonna happen. Did that

201
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: happen to Temple of Doom? There was a guy who

202
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: got rolled? Oh yes, and like, you know, are you

203
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: thinking of romancing the stone? I maybe? Okay, you have

204
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: a good memory. But tell them about rolling, the most

205
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: terrifying thing that can no doubt happen to a human. Okay,

206
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: So we said that, you know, alligators don't want to

207
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: attack you, they don't want to eat you. They still

208
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: will attack and they still will eat you under certain circumstances,

209
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: especially if you happen to be in pieces at the time. Um.

210
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: But the way that an alligator will attack you or

211
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: it's food or whatever prey it's going after, it clamps

212
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: down with its jaws, which are substantial, and it does

213
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: what's called the death roll, where it rolls over and

214
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: over and over again, taking its prey with it on

215
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: this little ride from hell um. And typically the alligators

216
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: prey dies from drowning from being rolled. Because an alligator

217
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: can hold its breath for up to an hour, it

218
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: has no problem with death rolling for as long as

219
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: it likes um. It also has nostrils on its snout

220
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: so it can keep his jaws clamped and still breathe

221
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: while it's death rolling as well. You can't do any

222
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: of this thing. So if you an alligator get you

223
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: in a death roll, you're in big trouble. Yes, agreed,

224
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: But again we should point out the numbers bear out

225
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: the idea that alligators don't really want to have anything

226
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: to do with us, right, but they still call it

227
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: a death roll and not a severe injury roll. You know,

228
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: once you're in the death roll, it's your toast right.

229
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: So um again though, if you if you look at

230
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: the numbers, there's like four alligator attacks in the United

231
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: States a year since nineteen forty eight. The Fish and

232
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: Wildlife Service reports three hundred and fifty six alligator attacks

233
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: on humans since twenty five or fatal. Yeah, and they

234
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: think nine of those the victim was already dead. So

235
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: I guess it has happened upon a dude that had

236
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: a heart attack. Insta. This guy's in four pieces too.

237
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: It's my lucky day, good eating. So the numbers are

238
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: on your side, and that this is not because they

239
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: are not around. Because they also point out that in

240
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: Florida alone, um, they average about twelve thousand complaints a year,

241
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: and I mentioned Pensacola. My family cousins grew up there

242
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: in Gulf Freeze, and they had you know, they would

243
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: go out for school one day and there's an alligator

244
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: in the front yard. Let's go out the side door.

245
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: And they would call and that's one of the complaints, Like, hey,

246
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: I got an alligator in the front yard and they

247
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: I guess someone come by and take care of it

248
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: by shooting it, probably back into the woods or replacing it.

249
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they would just like shoot to kill

250
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Uh, you know, they usually take

251
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: its head off with a shovel. They don't shoot it.

252
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: That's not the or a shoe, the heel of the shoe.

253
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: What does an alligator complaints sound like? This alligator is

254
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: looking at me? Is an alligator looking at me? Can

255
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: come do something about it? Yeah? That's an alligator can

256
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: plant pretty much is they're they're not where they are

257
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: where they should not be, which is in my on

258
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: my property. Or again though we're maybe where we should

259
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: not be, which is in an alligator's house. It's to

260
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: heck up a point. They lived right on the bay um,

261
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: all right, So if an alligator get to you in

262
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: the mouth or gets the prey in the mouth, they

263
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: are going to let go at a certain point to

264
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: get ready to swallow you. Well, it's in its death roll. Yeah,

265
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: so they don't like, No, it's like after the death roll,

266
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: they juggle you around to get you in a good

267
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: position to eat. They don't like just start chomping down right,

268
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: because they can't move those huge jaws very easily. No,

269
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: but they're very strong, So you're not gonna get out

270
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: of an alligator's jaw. But they do recommend if you

271
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: are attacked, Um, this could be a very risky way

272
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: to get away is to wait for like play dead

273
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: and wait for them to release you to try and

274
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: swallow you. Yeah, that's and it's specifically that's your last

275
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: ditch effort, and it's an extremely risky one. Becau is

276
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: once you're in the death roll. Again, they don't call

277
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: it a severe injury role. Um, once you feel an

278
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: alligator clamped down on you, you want to act immediately,

279
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: and you by acting, you want to scream, you want

280
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: to yell. You're gonna make as much noise is entirely possible.

281
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: Because again, alligators are lazy. They go for low hanging

282
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: fruit or low hanging crawfish meat. Yeah. Um, and if

283
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: you put up any resistance, they're gonna be like, attack

284
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: with this, I'm gonna go after something that doesn't yell.

285
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: Don't like my diving things to yell at. I mean,

286
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: it's just depressing, you know. Yeah, and it's probably going

287
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: to be your instinct unless you go into like shock

288
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: or something. So do what comes naturally, which is flail

289
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: and scream and hit them. And then if you can,

290
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: just like the old shark snout, if you can actually

291
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: get your wits about you, try and jam a finger

292
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: in their eyeball, which is a good method for stopping

293
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: any kind of attack. I think it's like the eject button. Yeah,

294
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: during an attack humans, any kind of animal, the gugs

295
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: their eye, they're gonna be like, dude, I only got

296
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: two of those and al yeah and al all right.

297
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: So that's how to get out. That's how to prevent

298
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: the death roll. Um. If you again, though, if you

299
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: are in a death roll, pretty much, try playing dead

300
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: nice knowing you yeah, because either you're gonna play dead

301
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: or you're gonna be dead one or the other. Uh So.

302
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: Crocodiles are a little more aggressive, and that's probably why

303
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: alligators get a little more of a bad rap um.

304
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: Crocodiles have been known to come after folks here and

305
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: there if you're if you're hanging out fishing on the

306
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: shore line, especially if you're cleaning your fish on the

307
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: shore line. That's a bad move. It's a very bad move.

308
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: And um, they are especially aggressive where and uh Africa

309
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: and um, South America or Australia. Australia. Of course they're

310
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: aggressive in Australia. Oh that's where crocodile dundee phone. That's right.

311
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: So um, we've coached people on how to fight back. Yeah,

312
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: and Chuck, let's take a step back. We're giving detailed

313
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: instructions on what to do if you're attacked by an

314
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: alligator crocodile. Does it ever occur to you that we

315
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: do stuff like this sometimes? Sure, it's crazy, it is crazy. Ahead,

316
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: it's crazy, as my wife says. Um. All right, So

317
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: the two reasons you might get attacked by an alligator

318
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: or crocodile is, like we said earlier, if you're messing

319
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: around with their family. Um, or you're just in their

320
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: territory and it's feeding time and you're caught unaware mating season,

321
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: which is early to midsummer. Yeah, that's when the adult

322
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: males will come after you. Careful, Hey, I don't want

323
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: you trying to hunt my lady. It's my lady. And

324
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: that brings us Josh to the to me one of

325
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: the best sentences on our website, which is, many attacks occur,

326
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to sentences. Many attacks occur as a result

327
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: of people teasing or trying to capture alligators. Throwing sticks

328
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: and rocks at alligators may seem harmless, but doing so

329
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: creates a dangerous situation. Wow. Yeah, it may seem harmless.

330
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: I read that was like, who thinks throwing rocks and

331
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: an alligators are harmless? Act? What's this gonna harm? Unless

332
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: you're like Damien from the Omen. You know what kind

333
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: of sick twisted kid does this? Sick twisted kid future

334
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: serial killers? All right, so it's not harmless at all.

335
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: It's very harmful. Yeah, don't throw rocks at any living thing,

336
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: jerk um. And you said when you were on your

337
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: okay Finocchi canoe trip that you know you couldn't see

338
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: very far down into the water. Typically you want to

339
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: avoid swimming in just that kind of water. If you

340
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: want to avoid being, you know, an alligator encounter, let's

341
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: call it that. That's super PC. If you want to

342
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: avoid an alligator encounter, um, you want to swim in

343
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: areas where the water is pretty clear and you can

344
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: see pretty deep into it, and areas that are well groomed,

345
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: not a lot of shrubbery and grasses and muckiness for

346
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: an alligator to hide him. Yeah, and don't send little

347
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Timmy down there with his uh beach ball to play

348
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: along the shoreline of the grassy shoreline. If your dad,

349
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: like we said, don't clean your fish out right there

350
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: by the shore line. Moms can clean fish too. Uh,

351
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good point. Thanks. In fact, in

352
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: some families, dad catches the fish, mom cleans the fish.

353
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: In some families, mom catches the fish and dad cleans

354
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: the fish. And in some families nobody fishes. Just buy

355
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: a fish at the store, you just go to you know,

356
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: Arthur Treachers. Emily would never clean fish. Are you kidding me? Oh? Yeah,

357
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: good lord? You mean said she loves cleaning fish? Really

358
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: she where she grew up. Yeah, I could see that

359
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: because you got spunk, Emily. If you'd handed a knife

360
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: and to cut this fish's head off. She would she'd

361
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: be like, are you kidding me? What kind of a

362
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: joke is this. Let's just go to Arthur Treachers. Yeah, exactly.

363
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: You got anything else? Um? Yeah, I do have something else?

364
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: Um you said if you're uh, your cousins would call

365
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: the Fish and Wildlife Service when they saw an alligator.

366
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: If you see an alligator, no matter how small, you

367
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: want to alert everybody else too that there's alligators because

368
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: if you see a baby one, there might be a

369
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: mom um. And also, don't feed alligators. That's a good point.

370
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: The reason why is you are basically writing their death sense, right,

371
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: which is a weird thing to write, but that's what

372
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: you're doing. Um, because alligators who are fed sometimes lose

373
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: their fear of humans and making may come close enough

374
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: for a terrible alligator encounter. And any any alligator that's seen,

375
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, approaching a human not out of fear, is

376
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: going to um, it's going to be put down. You

377
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: shouldn't feed any wildlife like that, really because there especially

378
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 1: once I can kill you though. Yeah, they're pretty good

379
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 1: at finding their own food, right until you start feeding them.

380
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: Then they become less good at that and it just

381
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: hurts everybody. Basically, you upset the circle of life to

382
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: turn it into an a rhombus. Yep. Uh. If you

383
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: want to know more about alligators and zigzags and you

384
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: want to see a photo of a person holding a

385
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: detect human arm from an alligator attack and it's crazy,

386
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: you can type in alligator zigzag in the search part

387
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: how stufforks dot com. It will bring up this article.

388
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: And I said, search bars means it's time for a

389
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: listener mail. But first, chuck, it's getting to be about

Speaker 1: we stand there good I think? Okay, okay, so listener me.

405
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: All right, guys, I'm gonna call this meth another one

406
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: about math meth mania. How about that? Uh just finished

407
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast, and I thought I would share

408
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: my experience. I've never used meth um, but I do

409
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: have bipolar disorder, and the manias I experience have some

410
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: remarkable core llaries with being high on met. I know

411
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: about these similarities from reading about people's experiences tweaking shows

412
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: like yours, and friends who have actually used meth and

413
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: some who still do. During manias, I will stay up

414
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: for long periods of time. I think sixty hours straight

415
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: was the longest I've ever been without sleep. I cannot eat.

416
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: I cannot even think about eating. UH talk a mile

417
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: a minute, talk so fast in my head that I

418
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: don't even realize I am skipping sentences so people can't

419
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: follow what I'm saying. I can focus on a little

420
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: weird task like you mentioned. I want to UH decided

421
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: to transcribe r M s it's the end of the

422
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: world as we know it of a CD player stopping

423
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: it and starting it. Mania. This is the only time

424
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: I drink, which is a bad thing because of my medications.

425
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: I will walk for hours listening to my iPod because

426
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: music is so amazingly rich and meaningful. Um. During about

427
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: the mania once I was pacing the halls of the hospital,

428
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: and I could feel every nerve firing, every muscle cell

429
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: tightening and releasing to make me walk. Yeah. Because of

430
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: these feelings that happened during mania, there are many people

431
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: with bipolar who will use meth to recapture that feeling,

432
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: especially in the throws uh in the opposite pole of

433
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: soul sucking depression. Once my psychiatrist and I decided to

434
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: take a very brief course of methyl finidate riddling. I

435
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: think it's it's a certain type of riddle. UM. I

436
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: had a paradoxical reaction by that time. By the time

437
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: I had taken two doses, I slept for twenty hours.

438
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: When I was awake, I was acutely intensely suicidal. So

439
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: no Infanta means for me, that's probably a good idea.

440
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to emphasize that meth does play on the

441
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: brain's existing systems, that the brain itself can even use

442
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: itself under unusual circumstances. I'm sure what that means. I

443
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: think you just explained. Okay, manias can be very destructive

444
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: though guys, it doesn't. Uh, but it does not affect

445
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: your dentist bills excusing math. And that is from Serena

446
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: Bodine Clark, and she said, go ahead and read my name.

447
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: I think this is cool. That's awesome a lot. Serena

448
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: appreciate that, agreed. Um, let's see alligat your story crackadox. Yeah,
