WEBVTT - 9 Outstanding Facts About Aussie Animals 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.000 I guess, well, well, what's that man? Do you know 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:04.480 that the kangaroo and the emu are on the Australian 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.400 coat of arms. I mean it doesn't seem that surprising. 0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:10.080 I mean both of them are native to Australia, right, Yeah, 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.840 but there are so many animals in Australia and there's 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:16.360 a reason they were chosen over like Tasmanian devils and platypus, 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.400 and that's because neither animal can move backwards. Wait, kangaroos 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.120 can't move backwards. No, it's like they're one design flaw, 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.760 like everything else about kangaroos is perfect. I mean, it's 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:31.120 one of those weird things like crocodiles can't chew. They 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.760 can bite and swallow big chunks, but they can't actually 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.320 chew their food. And kangaroos are kind of similar, like 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.839 their tails aid their balance and their mobility, but it 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.400 prevents them from moving backwards. But Australia has embraced it 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:48.120 in that like they're constantly moving forwards and this symbolizes progress. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.840 It's a good way to look at it. They could 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.800 have picked the shark though, right anyway, That's just one 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.120 of nine facts we've got for you today. About Australia's animals, 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:20.680 So let's dig in a their podcast. Listeners, welcome to 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.120 Part Time Genius. I'm Will Pearson and as always I'm 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.639 joined by my good friend Man Guesho Ticketer and sitting 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.960 behind the soundproof glass, he just taped a crocodile Dundee 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.960 poster to actually whoa crocodile Dundee two as well? Taped 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.640 to the wall. That's our friend and producer Tristan McNeil's 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.640 a busy guy. So you know what's funny is I 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.160 looked up crocodile dundee because I thought would be fun 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.160 to slip in as an animal fact. And uh, and 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.679 Roger Ebert hated those movies. I thought he didn't like 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.840 the sequels, like he called the last one less fun 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.440 to wash than attacks on it. But I actually pulled 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.320 a quote of his review for the first movie, which 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.400 he barely gave two stars. And here's how it ends. 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.680 The ending of the movie involves a love scene on 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.520 a subway platform. If these were two lovers, we really 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.160 cared about. The scene as written could have had the 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.640 impact of that moment in an Officer and a Gentleman 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.440 as it's acted in this movie. Last the scene is 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.679 so unconvincing that the lovers are upstaged by the other 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:17.880 people on the train platform. Alright, well, Mango, before we 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.440 keep going with facts, we've actually got Gabe on the line. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.160 Hey Gabe, Hey, guys, how's it going. So I'm curious 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.680 from both you guys. Have either of you been to Australia? Mango, 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.639 have you been to Australia And I haven't been there? Gabe, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.000 you no, I've never made it. Well, I'm glad that's 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.119 the three of us are are going to be talking 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.880 about animals from Australia, none of us having been there. 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.680 But but we've done our homework. So all right, well, Gay, 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.440 why don't we throw the mic to you and lets 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.239 you share your first fact? Yeah? Absolutely so, since you 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.840 started with Kangaroo's, I'm gonna go with the fact about 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.960 their diminutive cousins, the Wallaby. So in two thousand nine, 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:57.360 farmers in Tasmania started noticing these strange crop circles popping 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.800 up and they were wondering, you know what was trampling 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.600 down their crops into these really unusual patterns, And it 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.960 didn't seem to be the work of aliens. It wasn't 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.200 you know, it wasn't that precise as aliens are with 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.000 their crops circle right, But when they looked a little closer, 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.720 the farmers discovered it was actually the work of wallabies, 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.200 and not just any wallabies specifically. It was wallabies who 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.359 had been getting high on opie. They were eating these 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.560 wild poppies and then just going crazy, jumping in big 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:30.400 circles in the fields all night long. Yeah, it wasn't 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.160 just the wallabies though either. They were also local sheep 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.960 who were also getting high and going on these strange 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.800 walkabouts through the crops, and the wallabies were the primary offender. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.120 That's pretty good. I've never heard about that, all right, 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.440 why don't we keep them our supial talk going. I've 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.800 actually got a kangaroo fact as well, and I've never 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.160 heard this before, but this is from our pal Eves. 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.720 She's been on the program before and she told me 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.280 that she said that during the gold Rush, people started 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.400 importing all sorts of animals as food, you know, partially 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.840 because there wasn't enough local food for the people hunting 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.920 for gold. So there were things like tortoises, cod turkeys, 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.040 but a few kangaroos were also imported, and the funny 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.480 thing is that people didn't want them for food though. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.080 Instead they were imported live and kept around for entertainment. 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.880 They were kangaroo petting exhibits. They were sold for quick 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.400 cash as pets. I can't imagine having a kangaroo as 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.039 a pet. And there's even an ad from a saloon 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.080 at the time that offered, quote peach and honey, brandy 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:29.560 by day and night a genuine live kangaroo. That's pretty funny, 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.760 and I kind of love the discriminating clientele who looked 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.640 for a place and think, oh, it's got a pool 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.600 in a great view, but no kangaroo. I can't say that. No, 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.000 not not acceptable. All right, mango, what's your next fact? Well, 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.560 I mean, if we're talking strange Australian animals, you know, 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.040 I'm going to talk about my favorite insect of all time, 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.520 the Lord Howse stick insect. Of course, what is that? 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.960 I mean, it's a funny looking critter with the best 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.839 nicknames on Earth. It's also known as the tree lobster 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.680 and the walking sausage, which gives you a sense of 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.000 you know, how awkward it looks. But the story is 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.040 kind of amazing because it's also known as a Lazarus species. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.120 So those are the ones that everyone thinks are extinct 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.240 but then then came back from the dead, right yeah, 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.080 and they're too great. Taxonomy is the Lazarus species, which 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:13.880 is animals that everyone thinks are dead and come back, 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.159 and the elvis taxon, which is animals that are dead. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.520 But then you see an animal impersonator in the wild, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.680 one that looks like the original. But that is not 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.000 that actually a real thing is I thought that was 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:30.080 a big set up to this joke. But back to 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.960 the stick insect. So it was supposedly made extinct by 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.200 an invasive rat population. But then in two thousand one, 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.760 on this pretty harsh island with really strong winds, scientists 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.160 found about twenty four of these tree lobsters in the wild. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.440 They were like under a rock or something, and they've 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.520 slowly been bringing them back. But the cutest thing about 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.000 this totally disgusting species is how they sleep. The males 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.239 actually cuddle up with the females when they sleep, spooning 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.160 them with their six legs curled around them. But scientists 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.960 are quick to point out that this might be an 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.560 evolutionary measure and not the mark of of I mean, 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.560 I find that a little cinical. There's such a romantic mega. Alright, well, gab, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.840 what do you got next? Alright, so you probably know 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.440 Australia has a reputation for a lot of dangerous animals. 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.960 You know, there are sharks and sidewinders and poisonous spiders 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.719 and even the cuddly little platypus is dangerous. You know, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.039 they have these venomous spurs on the bottom webb. But 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.760 here's a super weird fact I didn't know before this. 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.960 More Australians have been killed by horses in recent years 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.960 than all of the country's venomous animals combine. I don't 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.320 think that I'm not buying that gay. We're gonna have 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:41.000 to fact check this well. According to a recent study, UH, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:45.479 from the year two thousand to seventy four people were 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.560 killed by horse trampling or being tossed by horses, while 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.200 only twenty seven were killed by snakes, bees or spiders 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.279 you know, during that same period. And of course the 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.880 hospitalizations from animal bites was was far greater. You know, 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.599 are like thirty five thousand people hospitalized for bites and 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:08.080 stings in Australia. But because there's so much anti venom available, 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.200 and also because a lot of those were just you know, 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.480 allergic reactions. Deaths from snakes and spiders isn't that big 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.040 a thing. In fact, there was a death from a 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.880 red back spider in and it was the first spider 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:26.040 bite death in Australia since nineteen seventy nine. So I 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.120 was looking this up all Gabe was sharing this fact 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.360 because honestly, I just didn't believe it. You know, sometimes 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.600 he makes stuff up. We don't ever let that on 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.080 on the actual show, but this is I mean that 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.160 that's pretty impressive. Gave good job on that one. Alright. Well, 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.640 since Mango was talking about the Lazarus species, I've got 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.920 one from my own to discuss, and that's the Tasmanian tiger, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.680 which also might be back from the dead now. The 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.480 Tassi tiger is the largest carnivorous marsupial and it looks 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.000 like a big striped dog, but it has a kangaroo's 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.200 tail and this small pouch. It also is one of 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.920 the only two marsupials were both the male and the 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.560 female members have pouches, and I didn't know this existed 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.840 among any of them, but I guess the other is 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.960 a water possum. Anyway, that the tiger has been extinct 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.520 since nineteen thirty six, but there have been some recent 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:14.560 sightings reported. Sometimes the creatures are confused for dingoes or 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.000 wild pigs, but the reports have had similar descriptions and 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.800 they've actually come from two different people in the same location. Now, 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.000 one of the key things that's convinced some skeptics that 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.800 the species might still be alive is that the Tasmanian 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.600 tiger's eyes shine differently from a wild pig or a dingo, 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.079 so they actually reflect light back in a very different way. 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.200 And it's generated enough excitement that a number of scientists 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.719 are now camped out in this secret part of Australia 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.080 with hundreds of cameras all trying to locate this tiger. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.040 That's really exciting. I hope they find it. Anyway, We've 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:47.680 got a few more facts for you guys, so stay 0:08:47.720 --> 0:09:02.959 tuned and we'll be right back after this break. Welcome 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.840 back to Part Time Genius where we're talking about Australian animals. 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.880 And then go, am I misremembering this? Was there some 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.400 story about your sister and Australian ants? Yeah, good memory, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.199 So My sister actually studied in Queensland and college and 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.640 as a kid she was kind of squeamish about insects 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.200 and arachnet so I was talking to her about it 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.440 when she came back, and she was saying that you 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.559 just find these crazy bugs in your room every day 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.600 in the dorms, but you kind of got used to 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.200 taking a magazine or whatever. I'm flicking them outside. But 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.720 the weirdest thing she told me was the story about ants. 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.960 And there's a type of ant there that tastes like 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.200 lemon lime, so people actually crunch up the ants and 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.640 eat it for that flavor, or use it in lemonade, 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.280 like you can crush them and add water and get 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.079 your protein in as well. Well. I asked her, you know, 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.600 knowing she was vegetarian, like, did you actually tried these ants? 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.160 And she said, you know, I refused to eat them, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:55.960 but I did lick their bum. This reminds me of 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.720 when you briefly went from being vegetarian and the first 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.760 thing ate was ribs in the state of Alabama pretty 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.160 much just licked at them. This must run in the family. 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.160 You don't want to eat the meat, but you just, oh, gosh, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.320 let's just move on from that. But so, how did 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:16.760 they taste to her really like lemon lime? I'm not 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.760 sure that counts, is your fact. But but do you 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:19.960 want to do you want to kick us off with 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.920 one last one mango? Yeah? So I've actually been a 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.200 little obsessed with camels this year. I've been reading about 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.800 this camel scandal in this camel beauty pageant in Saudi 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.599 Arabia where a number of the camels had been given botox, 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:36.040 and how Joe Camel came from France. But well, one 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.600 of the things I only recently realized is that Australia 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.760 has the largest feral camel population in the world. And 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.040 apparently they were brought over as be suburden to help 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.320 transport things, but then once they were that useful anymore, 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.120 they were let loose into the wild and they just 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:53.400 went crazy. Like they're awful because they're so hardy and 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.840 they can walk like forty miles in a day, and 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.920 there aren't any real natural predators out in the outback. 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.040 So I'm gonna say they're like seven thousand or eight 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.840 hundred thousands of these beasts just wandering around, drinking up 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.640 all the water from wells and causing camel coos. I 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.440 have to be honest, if you had told me name 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.079 twenty animals in Australia, I wouldn't have thought tonight, camel. 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.720 That's not where I would have assumed they were from. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.040 So is there anything that can be done about them? Yeah? 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.080 So like Australia is still trying to figure it out. 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.160 I read one account of a guy who's been rounding 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.720 them up for meat, which is apparently pretty good, but 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.800 also to try to sell the camels for camel races 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.560 and also beauty pageants, Like people will come to Australia 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.440 to like scout aussee camels for their thin necks. Apparently, 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.840 like I don't know what makes a pretty camel, but 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.120 apparently that's part of it. Wow, all right, well that 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.840 that is very interesting. Okay, Well my fact is about 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.960 the wombat, and there are lots of cool things about wombats. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.560 You know, their pouches face the wrong way for some reason, 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.320 so you know, instead of looking forward, a baby wombat 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.640 will face out back as the mom wombat is scurry. 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.200 Also their superpower, it's their big butt. It's full of 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.880 cartilage and totally resistant to snake bites and dingo bites 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.160 it's kind of like a shield for them, so when 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.480 they jump into a burrow and their butt sticks out, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.480 it's totally safe from predators. But my favorite thing about 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.360 the wombat is that you can tell if you have 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.960 a wombat infestation by looking at their scat, So their 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.960 poop comes out in perfect little cubes. So funny and 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:22.080 so nerdy and so gross. I also love the names 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.640 of wombats, like all the different species, just they're all 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.880 really cute sounding. So there's the Southern hairy nose wombat 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.319 and of course the Northern hairy nosed wombat. There's also 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.720 the common wombat. Yeah, that one kind of got screwed, 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.360 you know, get the Southern hairy nose and the northern hair. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.640 I'm curious to see the difference between the northern hairy 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.480 nose and the Southern hairy nose. Alright, Gabe, so I 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.240 think it's time for you have one last fact, right, yeah, yeah, 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.520 My last fact is is about black swans. And this 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.240 is pretty great. So for centuries, Europeans for some reason, 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.880 like to ponder the existence of black swans, and some 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.120 by the sixteenth century, the idea of a black swan 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.680 became an idiom for an impossible thing, something that couldn't exist. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.480 But that had all changed in the late sixteen hundreds 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.640 when Dutch explorers actually found black swans in western Australia, 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.760 which you know, just completely killed the idiom. But it 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.960 gets more interesting from there because about a century later, 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.559 Napoleon sent an expedition to Australia and in addition to 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.680 bringing back, you know, various animals and plant species, he 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.559 asked for a special collection of animals to be brought 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:33.760 back for his sweetheart Josephine. So thirty five live animals 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.960 were shipped back in all, and this was parrots, EMUs, kangaroos, 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.720 and two black swans. So sadly, the animals started, you know, 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.480 dying on the longboat ride at home. They got so 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.880 bad that the captain actually kicked his crew out of 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.640 their cabin so that the kangaroos could be more comfortable. 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.360 But you know, he was worried that they'd get back 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.240 and none of the animals would have survived the trip. 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.000 But really, honestly the problem was they didn't have the 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:03.079 right food. In desperation, they gave animals wine soaked bread, which, 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.600 as you might guess, not a great idea, but two 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.600 animals that definitely survived and made it back were the 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:13.200 black swans, and Josephine became the very first person to 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:17.160 breed black swans in captivity. That's another good fact. I 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:18.920 don't know about you, man Go, but I feel like 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:23.120 Gabe coming up with that whole murdering horses and us 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:27.880 not believing it. The names for wombats like species of 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.240 womb he was, he was on his game and it's 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.480 early in the morning out there in l A right now. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.560 So Gabe, I'm impressed. So I think we're gonna give 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:40.240 you this week's Fact Off Trophy. I'm honored. Thank you guys. Well, 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.280 thank you guys for listening.
