1 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature feature production of I Heart Radio. I'm 2 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology, and today on the show, how do 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: you get around the world when you're just a little dude? 5 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: Life is tough on these teeny tiny's and so they 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: need creative solutions to be able to get around without 7 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: being immediately destroyed. From the world's idious videous snail to 8 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: dastardly little fish to the littlest cowboys getting up in 9 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: the sea. We're looking at some cuties who are sometimes 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: surprisingly devious. Discover the some more as we answer the 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,959 Speaker 1: age old question. Maybe she's born with it, Maybe it's 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: poops on spikes. Joining me today is front of the 13 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: show brilliant comedian with a background in biotech, Pulo Viganalen, welcome, alright, Hi, 14 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here again. So we're just talking 15 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: about little time, little tie guys, little little teeny tiny's, uh, 16 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: and you know it can be it can be rough 17 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: on a little teeny tiny trying to navigate the world 18 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: that is so much bigger. Being a voice for the 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: voiceless right now, exactly the voice for the teeniest and 20 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: tiniest of snails, which when you take them all together 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: as like a voting block, you know, pretty significant. So 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: have you heard the news that they discovered a new 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: tiniest snail. I have not kept up on my snail news. 24 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I mean, I have subscribed to Snails 25 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: Galore bi weekly. So I'm up to come through snail mail. 26 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm done. Good bye, You're done, banned from comedy forever. 27 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, I know, the smallest land snail in all 28 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: the land, I guess has been discovered. So these are 29 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: snails that are so teeny tiny. The adults are literally 30 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: the size of a grain of sand. You can fit 31 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: more than one of them on the tip of a 32 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: ballpoint pin. So these are called Augusta pilla salmion and 33 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: they were found in northern Vietnam. They are point six 34 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: millimeters in diameter and uh, For some reason, researchers thought 35 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: the best way to illustrate how small they were would 36 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: be to take a picture of a bunch of the 37 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: little snails inside a clear pill capsule, which just makes 38 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: me think of some kind of weird snail medicine made 39 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: out of just like swallowing a bunch of snails. Yeah, 40 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: it definitely isn't an appealing visual. Now, I'm like, what 41 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: if we just can't see their snails in our medicine? 42 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: Now you always think like is it just inside this pill? 43 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: Is it just a bunch of little snails? Is this 44 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: a secret doctors don't want us to find out about? 45 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: This is gonna be when it Faltra is so close 46 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: to selling this right now, it's gonna be on It's 47 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: gonna be on Joe Rogan Show. He's in a lot 48 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: of hot water right now, rightfully, so, so he's probably 49 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: take it out on these snails, gonna take it down 50 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: these snails. He's gonna try to sell it like as 51 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: a coronavirus. Here, just pillful of snails? Why not? Why not? 52 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: So one of the issues with being this tiny when 53 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: you're a snail is how you move around without dying? So, 54 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah, because snails are notoriously slow. And 55 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: then when you're living on the tip of a ballpoint pen, 56 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: how do you get down the pen? Wow? Incredible exactly. 57 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: So you don't get down from a pen, you get 58 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: down from a duck. That's snail humor. It actually it 59 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: actually works. It hits really well with an audience of 60 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: these tiny snails just just so you know, I'm just 61 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: imagining them like the the Little Aliens and Toy story, 62 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: just like stuck in this pill. So terrestrial snails have 63 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: to leave the cozy moisteness of their shells and expose 64 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: their fleshy parts which is a lovely sentence that I 65 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: just said out loud, in order to travel along surfaces, 66 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: but this actually exposes them to being dried out. So 67 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: snails will use a trail of sticky slime to help 68 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: them adhere to surfaces, which is one use of their moisture, 69 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: and that slime trail is actually really interesting because it 70 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: allows them to stick to a surface, but it also 71 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: allows them to glide along a surface because when they 72 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: adhere pressure to that slime, it actually condenses into more 73 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: of a fluid state rather than a sticky adhesive state, 74 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: and they can kind of glide along the surface. And 75 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: the snail's body, in order to move and also to 76 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: stay alive, needs a lot of moisture, needs moisture inside 77 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: of its mantle cavity in order to facilitate gas exchange 78 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: that it needs for breathing. So snail basically it's gott 79 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: it's gotta it's gotta be damp. It's a little a 80 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: little slip and slide. So what you're saying to me 81 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: right now? Ye, do do one of them like? Since 82 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: there's so many, I don't know. I guess that they 83 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: don't live very close to each other probably right, or 84 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: I guess maybe in order to reproduce they do. Yeah, 85 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: I was wondering do they like do they because I 86 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: always always see snails by themselves, but that doesn't make sense. 87 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: But do they like make their little slip and slide 88 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: and then other snails can use their slip and slide? 89 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: Does happen? That's a really good question, you know what. 90 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm not actually sure. I think it probably depends on 91 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: how recent the slime trail is. If it's really I 92 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: bet you that they can and if it's you know if, 93 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: but if it's kind of dried out longer, maybe they can't. 94 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: But that's a really good question. And now you've got 95 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: me wondering if snails ever used that strategy to like 96 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: follow up the nails for mating. Now I'm imagining little 97 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: c s I snails like like this was recent, someone 98 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: was here, this this trail is still wet. That would 99 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: be a really easy murder to solve if it was 100 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: done by snails. Yeah, well there's a slime trail leading 101 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: right over here to you know, Jeff's apartment. But he's like, 102 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: you know, two feet away because he's so slow. He's 103 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: like hasn't left the door yet. Exactly's like, oh, you 104 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: got me, now you gotta come arrest me. But the 105 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: police snails they have like little sirens that they've been 106 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: put onto their their shells and then they start their chase. 107 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: Sounds like a funeral. So, uh, these little ta tiny snails. Uh, 108 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: their problem is when you're small, it's really hard to 109 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: retain moisture. A lot of insects or other arthropods that 110 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: are small they have a hard cuticle so they don't 111 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: dry out. So like a tiny ant, it has this 112 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: hard cuticle what what is basically its skin that keeps 113 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: it from drying out. If you want to kill ants 114 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: because you're a monster, or you want to protect your food, 115 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: there's a way to do it without using like ant spray. 116 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: You can actually use diet Tomacious Earth, which is this 117 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: I'm always talking about diet as always, you joke, but 118 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: whenever someone complains about ants. I'm like, well, have you 119 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: heard about dietomaceous earth. It's made out of billions and 120 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: billions of dead diet tom and their skeletons are so 121 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: dry it absorbs all the moisture and it instantly kills 122 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: the ant. Well not instantly, they stye a slow and 123 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: painful death. But yeah, so it is something I like 124 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: to talk about parties how you can kill ants with 125 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: dietemacious earth, because, like I said, you can lay out 126 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: this this dietomacious earth. It's a powdery substance, highly highly absorbent, 127 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: and it will just suck all the moisture out of 128 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: the snail or sorry, suck all the moisture out of 129 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: the ant, which kills it. And so it can be 130 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: used to kind of prevent ants from invading your home. 131 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: But the point of that is, like the ant normally 132 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: doesn't just like have all the moisture evaporate out of it. 133 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: It has that hard cuticle that protects it. But these 134 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: little snails do not have a hard cuticle. They have 135 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: their shell. They also have a little door to the shell. 136 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: It's called an operculum. It's like that little you know 137 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: when a snail like close it up. They have sort 138 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: of that little trapdoor that can close over their shell. 139 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: That's what that is. So how do these teeny tiny 140 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: snails survive without drying out? Skincare a lot of moisturizing 141 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: acial products. Listen, they've been in Hollywood. They know this 142 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: is just an advertisement for like Lourel, those Korean masks. Yeah, yeah, 143 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I do you 144 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: know how many snails had to die to make the Yeah? No, 145 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: they have made those masks out of snail slime, right 146 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: like that they have, Yes, yes, there are I'm fully joking. 147 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: I had no idea. Yeah, yeah, there's snail slime lotion. 148 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: Uh and like snail slime masks, it's supposed to be 149 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: highly moisturizing. Oh my god, what did we do to 150 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: the snails? Melt them? That's gross, So sad for the snails. 151 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: It is really ease. And can you imagine the smell 152 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: because I can't. God, I didn't even think about that. 153 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: Does snail slime smell? Snail slime doesn't smell that much. 154 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: But I remember when I was a kid and I 155 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: would collect snails and sometimes like just have a big 156 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: pile of an in my hand. There was a distinct 157 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: odor and it wasn't pleasant, so so um so. Basically, 158 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: one way that these these tiny grain of sand sized 159 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: snails don't die is that they are only found in 160 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: dank human caves, so they live inside the sediment inside 161 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: these caves. If they were in somewhere more dry or 162 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: more exposed to the sun, it's likely that they would 163 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: die because they would dry out. But another strategy is 164 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: actually employed by another snail which is similarly sized, and 165 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: it may give us some hints into this other snail's behavior. 166 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: It's just very slightly larger. But and when I say larger, 167 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: like by point something of a millimeter. And this snail 168 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: is called a copra logos and it is the second 169 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: smallest snail UH found in Louth. The copra logos have 170 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: this very weird feature to their shell. They have these 171 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: little spikes covered in what looked like beads, And what 172 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: researchers have found is that beads are feces. It's a 173 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: string of fecal beads, so little feces in sort of 174 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: necklace form worn around these snails. It's you know, it's fashion. 175 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: I gotta says fashion. Also my defense when I walk 176 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: home at night. You know, Yeah, I also wear fegal beads, 177 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: so no one bothers me. I prefer the these sort 178 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: of morning star of my dog's poop bag. You know, 179 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: when you get clean up after your dog have got 180 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: a big turd in the plastic bag and you can 181 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: kind of swing it around like a maze. Yeah, watch out, 182 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna get into a lot of time, 183 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So the reason for this like poop jewelry. 184 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: It's kind of like a Gothic poop jewelry because it's 185 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: all these spikes covered in these little poop beads is 186 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: they think that the dung pearls may actually, first of all, 187 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: help attract mates, because how could it not. I mean, okay, 188 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: so we're using the opposite right right with so maybe 189 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: biochemical signaling to attract mates. And another proposed reason is 190 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: it may help the snail from drawing out with the moisturizing, 191 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: revitalizing power of tiny dung pearls. So again, Lourel, think 192 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: about it. No, there's no like and Paltrow is not 193 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: already on top of this. I feel like she this 194 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: is a side note, but I feel like she has 195 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: like a humiliation thing where she loves watching women right right. 196 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: She she gets off on other women being humiliated just 197 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: what she can tell them. She's like, put this in 198 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: your in your vagina and wear these poop beads and 199 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: they're like yeah, and she's like, perfect, no, wear this 200 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: snail poop on your face. Did you do it? Oh 201 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: my god, you actually did it? So hot? So polo V. 202 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: I feel like we've all become a little more sedentary 203 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: in the world, wouldn't you say, just on average? Yeah, 204 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: I know that. You know, I'm trying. I'm trying to 205 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: kind of escape, escape the my cozy life style. But 206 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard one to your sort of It's 207 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: like when you are encouraged to stay indoors for your health, 208 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: then it's like, all right, uh, but you've been indoors 209 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: for too long, so now get out stop being sentary. 210 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, but I got used to feeling smug 211 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: about being lazy, so it's kind of hard to make 212 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: that change. Yes, it's all of the incentives have reversed themselves. 213 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: How are you how are you expected to move? You know, right? Right, 214 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: remember when we were told you know, it's like you're 215 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: helping other people and yourself by staying home. And so 216 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: now it's like, well, you should maybe go on a 217 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: run or go get some exercises. Like, can't I still 218 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: feel like a hero for sitting on my couch because 219 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: that would be nice? Yeah, I mean you still can 220 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: you like you could treat yourself every time. That's true, 221 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: I'm the real hero, I say, sitting on my couch 222 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: is like nurses are actually doing things. Yeah, but you know, 223 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: it's actually that sedentary lifestyle does have its advantages in 224 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: the natural world. You don't have to expend energy moving 225 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: and if you're armored, you can kind of hunker down 226 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: in a fortress. And this is the strategy that muscles use. 227 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: Those little bivalve dudes that a lot of people like 228 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: to eat, which I don't like to eat because when 229 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: I try to eat them, I throw up. So, uh, well, 230 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: that's a self defense mechanism. They didn't know they had 231 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: specifically making me throw up, Right, so they've at least 232 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: taken care of one predator. So muscles are a group 233 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: of bivalves that have oblog shells, and there are many 234 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: different species of muscles. So while muscles are known for 235 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: being sedentary, they can actually move like other bivalves until 236 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: they settle on the surface. You're saying bivalves, like, we 237 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: all know what that means. But it's a bi valves, 238 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: so that means two valves whatever. So it's basically clams 239 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: like what you know. Clams are a specific bivalve, but 240 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: it's any clam like creature that opens and closes like 241 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: a book. It's got two valves and input valve in 242 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: an output valve. That's why it's called a bi valve. 243 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: It's got a foot that fleshy part it can stick 244 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: out to kind of dig into the sand and move around. 245 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the names for them, and it's bi valvea, 246 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: which I'm pretty sure that's a sexual organ you know, 247 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: like I don't. I was named incorrectly. Okay, okay, so 248 00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: we got these, we got these bi valves. So, clams, oysters, uh, geo, ducks, 249 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: uh uh, muscles, they're all bi valves. Wow, it actually 250 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: is more more difficult for me to name all the 251 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: bivalves that I thought it would be. But hey, there 252 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: you go. So oh scallops forgot scallops. So muscles are 253 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: a type of bi valve and they can move like 254 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: bi valves. Even though they don't seem like they should 255 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: be able to move around, they can. They've got that foot. 256 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: They can dig in the sand. They can even kind 257 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: of swim with sort of a butterfly motion. But muscles 258 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: tend to like to stick in one place when they can, 259 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: so they can actually excrete a sticky glue like substance 260 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: called bistle threads. So that's like if you've ever seen 261 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: a muscle on the beach and it's stuck to a 262 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: rock and try to pull it off. You can pull 263 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: it off, it's not impossible, but it kind of it resists. 264 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: It's sort of stuck to the rock, and so it 265 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: is stuck to the rock by these bistle threads. Oh yeah, 266 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: it's got that's like the fuzzy white stuff that's like 267 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: underneath them exactly. Yes. So I feel like when I 268 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: was a kid, I would I would pull off a 269 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: muscle just out of curiosity, and then it kind of 270 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: just messing with these snails and muscles. I was out 271 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: there collecting empty shells. Maybe this is why, maybe this 272 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: is why I throw up now when I try to 273 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: eat muscles. It's like it's your origin story, like the 274 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: retribution the muscles revenge. It's a dish best served taught. 275 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: It's stok the muscles revenge. So h yeah, So the 276 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: ability to stick to one place has its benefits. So 277 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: they can stick somewhere and despite strong currents, they can 278 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: just peacefully filter fee rather than moving around in a 279 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: location that's maybe not as ideal. Those bustle threads can 280 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: actually also be used in self defense in sort of 281 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,719 Speaker 1: a Spider Man spider Man. Yeah, yeah, Spider Man, just 282 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: sort of in slow motion, really slow spider Man. So 283 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: if they are secreted over slow moving predators like a 284 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: dog welts, which are a carnivorous type of c snail, 285 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: the muscle can trap the predator and protect itself. So 286 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: it's like Spider Man, but in really really slow motion. 287 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: That's amazing. They're gonna somehow incorporate that into a new 288 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: Spider Man movie. It's a multiverse Spider Man movie. They're 289 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: going to figure out a way to get these muscles 290 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, like that would be muscle Man, but 291 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: instead of being muscular, he's half half muscle bi valve. 292 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: Now we're jumping into SpongeBob territory. Okay, I'm trying to 293 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: think of the sort of by physiology of a muscleman, 294 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: and it's a little gross, you know, yeah, we know, 295 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: we can. We know we're not to design the we're 296 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: the ideas people. Okay, it's the comic designer to design them, clearly. 297 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: I like, I imagine the muscleman having like a bikini situation, 298 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: like an aerial situation where the bikini is made out 299 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: of muscles. But then since he's part muscle, is that 300 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: like cannibalism? Yeah? Yeah, also didn't aerial? Did she like 301 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: kill because like all the sea life is sentient and 302 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 1: her subjects, so she did she kill one of her 303 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: subjects for a bra Is that a thing? I would 304 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: like to think that they died and we're like, this 305 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: is my last dying wish. It's it's will, and its 306 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: will that yeah accepted. You know, it happened right at 307 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: the time when she started. I see, I leave, I 308 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: leave my my wealth to my grandchildren, and I leave 309 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: my body to that breastmid cover breast. That's that's how 310 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: that's how grand dying wish is to not is to 311 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: lock up that nipple. That's weird. That's weird. I mean, 312 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: a cartoon clam can dream, so Now, we mostly associate 313 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: muscles with the sea, but there are actually a variety 314 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: of fresh water muscles as well. Fresh Water muscles typically 315 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: use their foot that fleshy projection. I love saying fleshy projection, 316 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: But that fleshy projection that bivalves can use for locomotion, 317 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: but freshwater muscles typically use it to dig into the 318 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: substrate of the river or stream to root itself so 319 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to move around. That's gotta be like, 320 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: that's gotta be a lot of strain on that part 321 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: of your body if you're just like holding on all 322 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: the time. For me, it's I imagine like just sticking 323 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: my foot in a ball pit and kind of you know, 324 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: still like when you you really get your foot rooted 325 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: and wedged down in that ballpit, and then all the 326 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: children trying to knock you over, stay there for a 327 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: really long time. Why are the children? Why are you 328 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: fighting children in a ball pick case? Listen, My life 329 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: is my life, all right. So one issue with being sessile, 330 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: that that is being rooted in one place, is how 331 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: do you make sure your offspring can be distributed elsewhere 332 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: so your population isn't all concentrated in one area campaigning 333 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: for the same territory nutrition. It's like if all your 334 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 1: kids never move out, always raid the fridge. It's a problem. 335 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: So before I discuss anything further, I'm gonna show you 336 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: some pictures of some fish and some some weird sea life. 337 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: So there's a picture here of a little spotted fish, 338 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: you see that, m h, And like a little sort 339 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: of a weird invertebrate dude. And a couple of worms. 340 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: How are those worms look like fish too? Yeah, that 341 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: kind of fish, like a little fish, like a little 342 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: like eyes and mouth. Yeah, but they have they have eyes, 343 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: they have mouths. You know, they've got one of them's 344 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: got fins. So you know you've got You've got some 345 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: fish and some sort of like weird little sea life. Um, 346 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: it's all lies. It's it's lies. You're lying to me. 347 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: I'm lying to you. Well, nature is lying to you too, 348 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: so we're both we're both lying to you. Uh. There's 349 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: this amazing Twitter thread that I recommend you guys. I'll 350 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: check out by Fairish Gibber, where you can see a 351 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: number of videos of tiny fish through sushing around against 352 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: a rock. So you'll see this larger fish come up 353 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: to it and chomp down. But as it bites, it's 354 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: like this powder keg explodes with this white, powdery substance 355 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: spraying everywhere. So Pulo, check out that that link, uh 356 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: of that the video of fish, that fish munching on 357 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: that little fish. Oh my god, Oh whoa, it just deflated. 358 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: Mm hmm, the little fish just diflated. What a decoy. Yeah, 359 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: so that little wriggling fish is not a fish at all. 360 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: It is part of a muscle's dastardly planned to reproduce. 361 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: So in that video, that fish is actually a flap 362 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: of tissue disguised as a fish. It's hard for me 363 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: to wrap my mind head. It looks like a fish. Yeah, 364 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: I know, crazy. It looks not at all like the 365 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: rest of the muscle. No, it doesn't. Wait and so 366 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: then inside of it is like eggs and stuff. Yeah. 367 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: So this is what happens is when the unsuspecting real 368 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: fish bites down on what it thinks is this little 369 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: tasty fish snack, the muscle releases a bunch of larvae. 370 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: So these little muscle larvae or these little teeny tiny 371 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: babies called glow kidia, and they look like these little 372 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: zooplankton sized muscles, and they are so tiny that it 373 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: would be hard for them to move around on their own. 374 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: They're easy food for anything that eats like these little 375 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: tiny larva. And upsettingly, it has these hooks on its mantle, 376 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: So the mantle is like the fleshy inner part of 377 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: the muscle, and it uses these hooks to lash onto 378 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: the inside of the fishes gills, where it will absorb 379 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: nutrients and spend a few weeks and this fun little 380 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: playhouse before detaching and settling into substrates somewhere else. That 381 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: is so weird. That's like when people are like, oh, 382 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: I hear something in my ear. I feel like it's 383 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: a bug or whatever. But it's like these fish that 384 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: are flying around underwater with things and their gills and 385 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know, I feel sick Herman. And 386 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: then and then it's like you'll be fine, Gerald, You're 387 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: always you're always thinking you're sick. And Gerald's like, no, 388 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: I really feel like there's something inside of me and 389 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: it's these little guys. Yeah. Yeah. And typically this doesn't 390 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: kill the fish, but if there's enough of them, they 391 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: can actually clogg the fishes gills and so it can 392 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: be harmful if there are too many of them. But yeah, 393 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: that is it's just like, hey, I got got some 394 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: other creatures babies in my eating holes. That's not it's 395 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: not a great feeling. I don't think that's insane because 396 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: they look so much like like real fish. Yeah, those 397 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: lures are absolutely crazy because yeah, and there are different types. 398 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: So there are lures that look like as one type 399 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: of fish, there's a lure that looks like a different 400 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: type of fish, like a minnow, and then there's a 401 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: lure that even looks like a prawn or something doesn't 402 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: even look like a fish. It looks more like a crayfish. Right, 403 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: So there's this de depending on where they are and 404 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: what the best prey is. Yeah, so it depends on 405 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: the species of muscles, and yeah, whatever lure is the 406 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: most effective for the larger fish in their area. And 407 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: some muscles aren't even happy enough with just luring them close. 408 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: They actually like to clamp down on the fish's head 409 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: after luring it in and then just jet sprays larva 410 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: into the fish's gills. So gross, I know. So yeah, 411 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: so it when it when it reacts this way and 412 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: the puff of white stuff is shooting out that's like 413 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: from inside the muscle, right, It's just like the outer 414 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: layer is the fish, and then inside the mussel, it's 415 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: just like as soon as they clamp down, it goes 416 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: exactly exactly. Yeah, so that that lure. The thing that 417 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: looks like a fish but is actually part of the 418 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: muscle is basically like this flap of flesh that it 419 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: dangles outside of its body. And yeah, it just because 420 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: when you look at it, it looks like a little 421 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: fish kind of thrashing around like right on the tip 422 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: of a muscle. It doesn't look like it's part of 423 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: the muscle. Is that part of what it constantly has 424 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: or does it only develop that like when it's ready 425 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: to spray? No, it constantly has that, So it's it's 426 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: just part of it's just part of the muscle um. 427 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: But it'll move it. It can move it around, and 428 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: it's sort of like extrudes it and twitch is it 429 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: around when it wants to, uh, you know, forcibly force 430 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: a fish to become a babysitter in the worst way. 431 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: That's like a horror movie babysitter. Yeah, I mean it's 432 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: already a horror movie just to be a forced babysitter. 433 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: But then add on top of that that's sort of 434 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: like indo parasite thing terrible, always asking if their games 435 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: on your phone. So there are actually other muscles that 436 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: developed a different technique, so they produce packets that contain 437 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: their larva. So it's like it's just this packwood package 438 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: full of muscle larva, and so they need the fish 439 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: to want to uh open up this package though, so 440 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: they actually disguise these packages as things like fly larva 441 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: or invertebrates with fake ice spots and scales. Remember those 442 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: pictures I showed you of the little worm wormy fish 443 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: looking things and that other weird thing that looks like 444 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: some kind of invertebrate or maybe even like a little 445 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: like catfish larva or something. Those are not eyes, those 446 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: are not mouths. Those are just clever coloration on these packets, 447 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: just disguised as some bigger creature. And then when the 448 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: fish bites into it, it breaks open like a parasite pinata, 449 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: and all of these muscle babies infect the fishes gills. 450 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: Some of them are like an attachment in the muscles 451 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: still spring it, and others are like little packets exactly 452 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: exactly little Trojan horses, except full of parasites Trojan babies, 453 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: Trojan babies, which is not good marketing for that condom company. No, No, 454 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: kind of the opposite thing that you're trying to trying 455 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: to market for. Yeah, but it also sounds a little 456 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: bit like Muppet babies. Muppet b babies. Yeah, Trojan parasite 457 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: babies get fun. That'd be a fun show. Yeah, looking 458 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: for They're always looking for reboots, so why not do 459 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: a reboot? But Kermit is like teeny tiny and there's 460 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: like hundreds of them. Any gets inside your lungs and 461 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: then you just explode with piggies lungs and she's happy 462 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: with it. Oh, miss Piggy. It would be fun to 463 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: like for there to be Alien recreated. But with Miss Piggy, yeah, 464 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like I've seen her like 465 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: blown up in something before and stomping around right, Yeah, 466 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean that would make sense. I think she was 467 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: in Pigs and Space or something, but like I want 468 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: to see her as uh, you know who's the main 469 00:31:52,400 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: protagonist in Alien? No, I can't remember, Lady mctough galurand no, no, 470 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: it's isn't it um No, it's not Susan Surandon and 471 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: it's not activity a yogurt lady, it's the other one. Yes, no, 472 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis is the activity activityal yogurt lady. No, no no, no, 473 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: it's the other person. God, why have we not? Don't 474 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: this episode? We're watching alien Sigourney Weaver. There is the story. 475 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: I can't even say our names, Sigourney Weaver and Jamie 476 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: Lee Curtis or who I mixing? Why are we talking about? 477 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: I think we're pitching this to the Jim Henson Company. 478 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: So it's good that we're practicing or walkthrough of it, 479 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: Hollywood baby, Okay, all right, so we've talked about tiny spiky, 480 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:03,719 Speaker 1: poop covered snails and parasite Hignada's okay, stop turning me on, right. 481 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: I thought we'd have an even an even more heartwarming 482 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: story to end with. So what do you do when 483 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: you're just a little guy who needs a ride around 484 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: the great big ocean? So lots of oceanic creatures, even 485 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: ones who grow into a formidable size, will start off 486 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: teeny teeny mean seat, So consider the sunfish. Take the 487 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: sun flish, God, take the sunfish please? I really see 488 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: this is why, this is why you do the stand 489 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: up and I don't know. This is why I do 490 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: the sit down. You didn't stand up, and I sit 491 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: down and and talk from here from my comfortable seat. 492 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: So the sunfish, uh, the sunfish is larva, start off 493 00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: only a couple millimeters wide, and they grow into the 494 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: biggest bony fish in the ocean. Yeah, I was gonna 495 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: say the sunfish is like huge, very massive. Yeah, so 496 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: they're not they're not the biggest fish in the ocean 497 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: because that are those are sharks. But the sharks are 498 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: made out of cartilage. There are bony fish rather than 499 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: cartilyginous fish, and the biggest bony fish is the sunfish, 500 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: and they grew up to over two thousand pounds or 501 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: one thousand kilograms. But they start off as just this 502 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: little tiny pea. Oh my gosh, I'm looking at them. 503 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking at them in like someone's hand, and they 504 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: look so cute and so frightened. And then they're like 505 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: giant next to this like grown person. Yeah. Yeah, it 506 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: looks so ridiculous. It looks so silly. What a life, Right, 507 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: You start off as a little spiky pea and then 508 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: you just grow into a giant, angry pancake. Yeah, I 509 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 1: feel like that they're like chill though they look too 510 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: silly to be angry. That's true. That's true. Maybe when 511 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: they're the little tiny spiky p that's when they're angry 512 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: because they got a chip on their shoulder and they're 513 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: just a little, a little tiny spike ball against the world. 514 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 1: But then when they're a giant pancake, it's like whatever, man, 515 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: that's crazy. Can you imagine? Like I feel like people 516 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: would be easily duped into buying the little spiky peas 517 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: and thinking that they're like mini sunfish, and then they 518 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: grow up and they were like, yeah, you gotta keep 519 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: these big so you can get some sea monkeys, and 520 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: then they just grow to the size of like your 521 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: entire room. Yeah, it's so crazy, they're so big. But yes, 522 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: they're so big and silly looking. Yeah, they're just the 523 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: they're just and just the fact they're so flat and 524 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: then they've got these huge eyes. I don't know, I 525 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: love it. There's their mouths are like like circular, so 526 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: it's like they look like they're constantly like out of breath. 527 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: There was that video of that Bostonian guy freaking out 528 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: about the sunfish. Do you remember that, No, I don't. 529 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play just a little clip from it to avoid, 530 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: you know, copyright problems. But let me see if I 531 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: can find it. That thing is big, Jay? What is 532 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:18,479 Speaker 1: that thing? It looks hurt. That thing looks hurt, Jake, Jay, 533 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 1: that thing is hurt. Bro, Holy look at this thing? 534 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: Oh my god? What is that? Bro? Jerry? What then? 535 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: Is that? We gotta call the aquarium a shothing? We 536 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: gotta we gotta call aquarium of something? Dude, a well 537 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: meaning Bostonian guy was a recipe for a viral video. Now, 538 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: what he's concerned about for the fish's safety is that 539 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: sunfish do you tend to sort of lie in a 540 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: horizontal fashion. They like near the surface. But they're fine. 541 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: Don't worry about it that they just like to do that. 542 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: They're actually so. My point in bringing up the sunfish, 543 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: other than to share with you that wonderful uh concerned 544 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 1: citizen Bostonian, is that in the ocean, even big animals 545 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 1: or medium sized animals can start off really tiny, and 546 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: their chances of survival when they're really tiny are typically 547 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,479 Speaker 1: pretty low. So there's a ton of them. Usually there 548 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: there will be like a ton of offspring. That's the 549 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: case with the sunfish. They like have thousands and thousands 550 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: of offspring at once, and so just statistically speaking, some 551 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: of them have to survive. In fact, in the ocean, 552 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: the largest mass migration happens every day. So from the 553 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: depths of the ocean to the uppermost layer of the ocean. 554 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: All of these little tiny animal babies, including like zooplank 555 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: things that stay small and things that start off small, 556 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: will make this big migration from the twilight zone, which 557 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: is a real area in the ocean where it's it's 558 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: basically because only a little bit of light gets that 559 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: deep into the ocean. Oh, that's what it's called. Yes, 560 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:20,720 Speaker 1: And then in the less fun name is the mesopleagic zone. Um, 561 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: but the TV show you have entered the mesoplatic zone. Yeah, 562 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: it was a hard sell for Rod Sterling before he 563 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: discovered there was another name that he could use. Uh So, 564 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: but yeah, at night they will move to the uppermost 565 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: layer of the ocean because even though they like to 566 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: stay in that twilight zone during the day, because even 567 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,399 Speaker 1: though that area is less nutrient dense than the upper 568 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 1: layers of the ocean, it's safer during the day because 569 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: of the lack of light makes the tiny zooplankton less 570 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: detectable by predators. So that's just to get you acquainted 571 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: with how there are these animals in the ocean that 572 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: they start off life really tiny and they need to 573 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: figure out creative ways to get around. So I think 574 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: it's great that they have so many children, like my 575 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: parents had to hoping one would not disappoint them, and 576 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 1: it worked. Listen, you're you're your five thousand other brothers 577 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: and sisters are are they went to grad school. They 578 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 1: went to grad school some you know, like and you 579 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: other five thousand wanted to be an artist artist. Yeah, 580 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: that that does put sibling rivalries into the perspective because 581 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: then at least you don't have to like do better 582 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 1: in karate against like ten thousand other siblings. Yeah, that 583 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: seems like a lot fight to the death. Oh that's 584 00:39:55,080 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: why they called it squid gay Oh god, terrifying. So basically, 585 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: when you're a little tiny dude in the ocean, you 586 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: gotta get around somehow, and you gotta get around without 587 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: being eaten, and you also got to get around being 588 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: able to find food. Um, well, there is a little 589 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: critter that has found a way to yeehaw. It's way 590 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: around by riding a jellyfish. So the jellyfish rider is 591 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: this tiny, transparent arthropod that will someday grow into the 592 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: smooth fan lobster. So everything on this show is always lies. 593 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: Never trust me when I call anything anything, because even 594 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: though this is a type of slipper lobster, it is 595 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: not a true lobster. They're not that closely related to 596 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: like our familiar friend the lobster, which I feel like 597 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 1: it's it's funny to me when they're like, this is 598 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: not a true lobster, because it's like, um, actually that's 599 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: the no true Scotsman fallacy. Who are you to say 600 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,439 Speaker 1: that's not a true lobster? Um? But yeah, so they 601 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:09,399 Speaker 1: are a crustacean decapod related to rock lobsters. So rock 602 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: lobsters are not true lobsters. Uh, they're just that they 603 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,359 Speaker 1: are the most catchy one. Yeah. Yeah, they're in that 604 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: that like B fifty two song. Yeah yeah that was 605 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: what what what species representation from the incredible incredible job. 606 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: I didn't get it when I was a kid. I 607 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 1: thought it was like they were saying, like, this is 608 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: a lobster who rocks, yeah, or is that what they're saying. 609 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,439 Speaker 1: I think that is. I think it can be both things, 610 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: double meaning. It's such a deep song truly, it wasn't 611 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: a rock it was a rock lobster. Ah, it makes 612 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:54,760 Speaker 1: you think, So this one does look like a slipper lobster, 613 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: like very aptly name. Yeah, it's like kind of flat. 614 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: It kind of looks like could wear it as a slipper. 615 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: I don't recommend it. That'd be the like when you 616 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: go scuba diving, the little flippers you wear. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 617 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: it should be called the flipper lobster. The slipper lobster 618 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: who's not a lobster includes a variety of species, the 619 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: largest of which can grow up to almost two ft 620 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: or fifty centimeters long. So they're formidable, and like you said, 621 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: they kind of look like a weird flipper. They're kind 622 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: of like a lobster, but they're flatter, more triangular shaped. 623 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: They don't really have large front claws. They just have 624 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: these weird flat antenna. It's like so messed up that 625 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: we name them for things that we could use them as. 626 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: We're like, what is this? What what article of clothing 627 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 1: for humans? Does this look like? Right, it's just like 628 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: who were the sailors who were so I guess like 629 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: just scourged with scurvy that they're like, I'm gonna put 630 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: the lobster on my feet. Um. So the larva of 631 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: these slipper lobsters are much tinier on the order of millimeters, 632 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,839 Speaker 1: so they have figured out a pretty great way of 633 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: getting around. So they hit your ride on a jellyfish. 634 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 1: So you can see these little dudes sitting on jellyfish 635 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: having the having the time in their lives. That's that's 636 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,959 Speaker 1: got to be like a really fun ride just because 637 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: of how a jellyfish moves, the motion of them, of 638 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: their trajectory. And then also like everybody's scared of like 639 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: all people are like I don't want to get caught 640 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: up in all these jelly things, Like I don't want 641 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: to get stung by jellyfish. And these dudes are like 642 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: ratitude eng them from the not actually, but like they're 643 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 1: just like on top of them, just chilling fully avoiding 644 00:43:55,239 --> 00:44:00,720 Speaker 1: the stings. I mean speaking of ratitui and stings. Uh, 645 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: these jellyfish are Gormond's and essentially they eat their ride. 646 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: So it'd be like if ratitui was eating the dude 647 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: in the movie. In addition to Ratitui two. Uh, if 648 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: you can't stand the heat, get in them out of 649 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 1: the kitchen because I'm going to eat you. It needs work. 650 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: It does need to work. Admit it needs workshopping. I 651 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: think we have at least four solid pitches for Hollywood 652 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: from this podcast. We do. We have, uh, parasite Pinonta babies. 653 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 1: We got, we got you know, Rattatui two. Um gets 654 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: who's gets Who's dinner? And because who is dinner? Because 655 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat you. That's that's the name of it. 656 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 1: That's that's the kind of like sort of like incisive 657 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: witty humor that Picks are. Really. That's what I literally 658 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,760 Speaker 1: was going to say. We're like, we're like bizarro Pixar 659 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 1: because we're like we're still like humanizing all of these 660 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: like animal type creatures, but in like a really messed 661 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 1: up way, in a more realistic way. Yeah, I would 662 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,320 Speaker 1: love a Pixar movie that's just you know, the same 663 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 1: fun rendering, but just straight up you know, disturbed disturbs 664 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,280 Speaker 1: like a finding Nemo or Nemo just gets completely eaten 665 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: by a bob at worm. Oh my god, So these 666 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: little these little jellyfish riders will sit on the back 667 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 1: of a jellyfish and ride it around the ocean and 668 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: they will get an in flight meal made out of 669 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: the very jellyfish that they are riding. So the slipper 670 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: lobster larva will uh nibble on the venomous tentacles of 671 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 1: the lobster, which of the jellyfish of the jellyfish. Yes, sorry, 672 00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: they will nibble on the venomous tentacles of the jellyfish. 673 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 1: So it doesn't it doesn't hurt them, Yeah, it doesn't. 674 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: And this is really weird. So researchers have looked into 675 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,879 Speaker 1: why this doesn't hurt them, and they've found that, first 676 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: of all, they have First of all, they have this 677 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:18,200 Speaker 1: very fastidious grooming that they do between eating. So they 678 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: have these tiny comb like projections on their legs and 679 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: they can use telling me, these lobsters are wearing bibs. Now, 680 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: it's not exactly bibbs. It's like if you had like 681 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: brush is attached to your hands, so every time you 682 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: get crumbs on you, you just kind of like brush 683 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 1: them off, But the crumbs are toxic stinging crumbs, right, Yeah, 684 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,359 Speaker 1: that makes sense, right, but you maybe, yeah, like like 685 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: when you want to eat your stinging spaghetti, you gotta 686 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: have hand brushes to clean clean it off. Wow. Yeah, 687 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: I hope this. I hope people are getting it from 688 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:06,399 Speaker 1: it from these analogies some kind of yeah, some kind 689 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 1: of I need a cooking show for these little lobsters. 690 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 1: Little little baby is just like, now you know you 691 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 1: want you want, you want those us And then jellyfish 692 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 1: tentacles al dente And then does it is a jellyfish 693 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:25,399 Speaker 1: surviving still? It's yeah, it's probably not great for it, 694 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 1: but they can survive the loss of a couple of 695 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,919 Speaker 1: tentacles because after all, like it's still getting transportation from 696 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,399 Speaker 1: this jellyfish. So and then oh yes, they don't want 697 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 1: to kill it right away. And then, um, there's one 698 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,840 Speaker 1: on this jellyfish. Is it like one per jellyfish or 699 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 1: they're multiple? Typically it's one one per jellyfish. I'm sure 700 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: there are cases where there's more than one per jellyfish, 701 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:53,759 Speaker 1: but yeah, all the ones I've seen have been one 702 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,759 Speaker 1: per jellyfish. So no, like real energy efficient public transportation 703 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:03,919 Speaker 1: for these jellyfish or for these slipper lobsters. Also, when 704 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 1: they eat the stinging tentacles, you may wander like, Hey, 705 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 1: how does that not like kill them from the inside out. Well, uh, 706 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: there is a membrane inside the slipper lobster gut that 707 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: coats the stinging cells which protects them from internal damage. 708 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,800 Speaker 1: So that's like how we have acid in our stomach, 709 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 1: that we have epithelia in lining our stomachs, so that 710 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: like you know, we don't eat have our stomach acid, 711 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 1: eat our own That's right, that's right. I mean, if 712 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:39,239 Speaker 1: you've ever wondered why doesn't our own digestive juices digest ourselves, 713 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 1: it's exactly what Polvi just said. And then of course 714 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: when there are problems with that system, we get gastro 715 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 1: intestinal issues. Yep. I will include in the show notes 716 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: a video of one of these little dudes riding around 717 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: on a jellyfish for you to enjoy. It's set to 718 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: some real just happy music, real wonderful. I cannot play 719 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 1: it or I will get sued, but pull if you 720 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 1: want to watch it for a minute, I'll give you 721 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: time to do that. Oh incredible music. Oh my god, 722 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 1: this is like weird. They're like way bigger than I thought. Well, 723 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: this is an old so this is an older one. 724 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 1: It's a it's a more developed one. It's getting bigger, 725 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 1: and they start out really tiny and then they get 726 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: bigger because they grow into their adult forms. So as 727 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 1: they could be so freaking annoyed if this thing was 728 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: on my head, just like eating my parts. It's it 729 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 1: looks so big and then it's got little like the 730 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: little brushes or whatever are just like constantly moving. I'd 731 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: be like, you better give me a massage while you're 732 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,279 Speaker 1: up there. Are you kidding me? Like I don't want 733 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: to like victim blame the jellyfish. But it does look 734 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: like spaghetti, right, like you know you can they're they're 735 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:59,280 Speaker 1: they're sentience spaghetti. Come on, spaghetti, barely sentience spaghetti. Sentient 736 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: is a little it is, So that's true. So this 737 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 1: is wild though it looks like it's it's like and 738 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,360 Speaker 1: it's you know, it went to a bar and it 739 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 1: it got it's trying to impress a lady and it's 740 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: like riding a mechanical bowl. Do you think like these 741 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 1: these little guys like compete go to sort of like 742 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 1: a competition where they rev their jellyfish and ride them 743 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:28,440 Speaker 1: around drag raising their jelly face. See there's another Pixar idea. 744 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 1: There we go. Yeah, we gotta we gotta get paid 745 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,319 Speaker 1: for this. No more free free idea. Yeah, that's right, 746 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 1: we're you know, if you want access to more of 747 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,720 Speaker 1: our wonderful Pixar ideas, do you get you know? Where's 748 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,879 Speaker 1: our money? Yeah? Where is our money? Where is it? 749 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 1: Another idea?

Who was squawking? Last week? 757 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,319 Speaker 1: Every week we play a mry animal sound and I 758 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 1: ask you, Hey, who's squawking? And then you guys right 759 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: into me at Creature Feature Pod at gmail dot com 760 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 1: who you think is squawking?

The hint I gave 763 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 1: last week was what's a dick? Dick so alarmed about? 764 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: Maybe this critter at least once he's grown up. So, 765 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: just for some frame of reference, addictic is a little, 766 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,520 Speaker 1: tiny antelope with a much more insidious name than it 767 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 1: actually deserves. Um, it's adorable. And so yes, here is 768 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 1: the sound. What so, pelo vi, what do you think 769 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 1: is making that sound? Wait? So you said, like, how 770 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,440 Speaker 1: is it related to the dicktic? Okay, so the hint was, 771 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 1: what's addictic so alarmed about? Maybe this critter at least 772 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 1: once he's grown up? Okay, So what would hunt? An 773 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 1: antelope like creature? Tiny antelope? A tiny a tiny antelope 774 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 1: like creature that sounds like like a gym teacher, mad um, 775 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 1: sounds like a whistle going up a little bit. Um. 776 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 1: Is it like some sort of cat, some sort of 777 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 1: wild cat warmer, very warm, like a like a bobcat 778 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:19,279 Speaker 1: type creature, very very close. Yeah, Mountain, let's say yes, 779 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,280 Speaker 1: Let's say yes, says the Well, it's not a bobcat, 780 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:27,839 Speaker 1: but it is the carackle. So the carackle is at 781 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: least it's a coracle kitten. So this is a wildcat 782 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 1: native to Africa. The Middle East, Pakistan, India in Central Asia. 783 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,720 Speaker 1: It has a reddish buff colored coat, a white belly, 784 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 1: and most notably, two very tall ears with dark tufts 785 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 1: of I maybe you didn't know the name, but I 786 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 1: was picturing this cat, but I was picturing the ears 787 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,240 Speaker 1: with the thing on top. Oh, I'm so good at animals, Katie. 788 00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,880 Speaker 1: It is kind of it is very similar to a 789 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,160 Speaker 1: bob cat, right, with those tufted ears, and it's taller. 790 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,320 Speaker 1: It's and it is also a medium sized big cats, 791 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 1: so it's not one of the biggest cats, but it's 792 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: a little it's got more of a sleek build. It's 793 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 1: kind of got these tallerly gorgeous. They are absolutely and 794 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 1: the little tops on top of the ears are just 795 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 1: so cute. It's they They have completely sold me on 796 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,319 Speaker 1: this design for a cat. Like the fact that they 797 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:32,239 Speaker 1: have what looks like little feathers on the tops of 798 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 1: their ears, and their eyes are so big when their 799 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,800 Speaker 1: mouths are closed, they look so innocent. They look like 800 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 1: a little puss in boots. They really do. And although 801 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:46,720 Speaker 1: they're not like, they're very bad, very bad pets. People 802 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,360 Speaker 1: try to keep them as pets. It's a terrible idea, 803 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 1: not just for the cat, but for the humans. Yeah, people, 804 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: why would you keep this predator as a pet, Like, 805 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 1: let it go be free and tufted. We can't ever 806 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 1: see something good in nature without wanting to like possess 807 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 1: the kittens. Yeah, the kittens are so cute.

Yeah, 813 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,800 Speaker 1: it's there. It's it's the vertical. Yeah. They're the perfect 814 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 1: the perfect cat, the optimized and they're redheads. So you know, 815 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:47,080 Speaker 1: I feel, yeah, I feel kindred spirit with with these 816 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:54,279 Speaker 1: crackles and so that that weird like trill is basically 817 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,839 Speaker 1: the carackles mew So there now comes with a vibrato 818 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:05,720 Speaker 1: and um they yeah, like that kitten wants to be fed, 819 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: so you know you'll have a cat mew at you 820 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: for food. This kitten is doing this amazing trill basically 821 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 1: basically to complain, and adults do the same thing. It's 822 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:27,720 Speaker 1: just a little bit of a deeper, deeper sound. Wait, 823 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 1: so for me ows? I thought that domesticated cats like 824 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:35,080 Speaker 1: developed the ability to mew in order to communicate with humans, 825 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 1: but like wildcats also have like their own version of yelling, 826 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:42,479 Speaker 1: but for each other. Yeah, so, so these mews are 827 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:47,320 Speaker 1: for generally for kittens to communicate with their parents, like, hey, 828 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 1: look at me, I'm here, don't forget about me, don't 829 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 1: leave me behind the meal you're hearing. I don't know 830 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 1: how much wild crackles like mew, but the one that 831 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 1: you were hearing was from one that was in captivity, 832 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 1: So it may may it may have learned to do 833 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:08,319 Speaker 1: this to provoke a response from its caretaker. Interest. Yes, 834 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 1: but they may all they may do it in the 835 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,879 Speaker 1: wild if they're communicating with another carocle. But yeah, so, 836 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 1: but it's just such a weird like it sounds auto tuned, 837 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It reminds me of how 838 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: like how the way foxes sound is not at all 839 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,920 Speaker 1: like what you would think that you know, No, it 840 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:38,560 Speaker 1: sounds like a leprecron being murdered. Mm hmm yep. And 841 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,560 Speaker 1: and and don't ask how me and Katie know that 842 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 1: we'll we'll never like we just happened to know after 843 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,960 Speaker 1: me called coins here me you shut up. I feel 844 00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,840 Speaker 1: like you're allowed to say that because you're a redhead. 845 00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 1: I am, I mean, I am, and I have, like 846 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, I've got I've got that Irish, I've got 847 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,800 Speaker 1: that Irish in me, So I'm allowed.
