Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature Future production of I Heart Radio. I'm

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology, and today on the Crab Show, Crabs,

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: What the crab or crabs up to? Our crabs building

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: a crab society? What kinds of crabstructions are the crabs

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: crabbing up? Crab this, crab or this? And more? As

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: we answer the age old crustacean I mean question, should

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: we all be crabs? Joining me today is one of

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: my favorite comedians, Twitter video artist and crab appreciator, Kylie

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: Bragman Boca. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: to talk about crabs. Yes, I am so excited to

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: have you. You your tweets and your videos are amazing.

13
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: And the reason I have you on today to talk

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: about crabs is you have tweeted about crabs favorite roably. Yes,

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: I've I've I've sent I've fired off some pro crab tweets.

16
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: You can go on the record and say that, thank you,

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, I had a feeling you were pro crab,

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: but I'm glad that we could just like clear the

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: air between us and Yeah, it's important to say it.

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: It's a yeah, we're pro crab, damn it. And you

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: actually have a tweet that shows some really interesting crab

22
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: behavior of a sand bubbler crab. So it's a little

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: little key toiny crab in the sand, digging, dig in

24
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: a hole and it looks like you tweeted, cannot believe

25
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: my guy built himself a hot tub in fifteen seconds flat.

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: Uh and it. I mean this crab, Kylie, this crab,

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: he's a precious little guy. He's a precious little guy.

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: And more than that, he's an architect. I mean, because

29
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen sand crabs before, like I

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: just like I don't know, like the Santa Monica Beach,

31
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: like the way they dig directly into the ground. But

32
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: this guy amateur like a wori gig, like he's like

33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: building himself like it almost looks like a little iglue. Yeah. Actually, Kylie,

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: that's what they're called by biologists. Really, you didn't even

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: go to biology school and you knew what they were called.

36
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: So I'm a doctor. I'm your doctor, I guess, doctor,

37
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: Kylie Brickman. I have to say, now, yeah, you gotta

38
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: re record the intro with that. Yeah, I mean like

39
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: there are people who like got their pH d s

40
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology, but it turns out, guys, you just

41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: got lapped by Kylie Bragman. Sorry, you gotta you gotta

42
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: just you gotta be on it, guys, catch up biologists. Yeah,

43
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: but yes, they do build a little like hot tub

44
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: dome out of sand. So they start out it looks

45
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: like a cool little hot tub, but then they keep

46
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: going until it's this full on dome that ensconces them.

47
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: And they are teeny, twiny little guys. We we love

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: to we love to talk about a tiny guy on

49
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: this show. Um, they're about or tiny girls feel like

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: guys not to gender it, but that is a crab

51
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: sexist I'll have you know. That's for another episode. That's yeah,

52
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to go into crab sexism now. Well

53
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, so they are about point four inches wide

54
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: or one centimeter and their sand colored because they live

55
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: in sand, and sand is basically their whole deal. It's

56
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's their thing is sand. They really

57
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: have made that their brand. I mean that's very clear.

58
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: But just from this twenty second video, I'm like, this

59
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: is a guy who knows about sand. I didn't realize

60
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: they were one centimeter though. Ye tiny, I mean I

61
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: was imagining like a couple inches of guy, But like

62
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: that is a tiny tiny crab, not even an inch

63
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: of guy. Uh yeah, no, they are very small, but

64
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: with their small size they accomplish great things, such as

65
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: including building that little iglu. They are found on tropical

66
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: beaches all around the Indo Pacific Ocean, and they love

67
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: wet sand. They love it, They eat it, live in it.

68
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: Who doesn't love it? So they actually will eat sand.

69
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: And when I say eat sand, they're not actually like

70
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: shoving claw fulls of sand and just like eating the

71
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: actual sand. But they filter out tiny particles of organic

72
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: matter in the sand and eat that. So they like

73
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: to filter through the sand. But they don't like getting

74
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: buffeted around by the high tide. So what's just a

75
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: little guy to do. You gott to create a burrow

76
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: in the sand to hide when the tag comes in.

77
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: So he's making himself like a little restaurant, like a

78
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: little dining room. Yeah like, but it's a combination restaurant,

79
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: dining room and bunker like bomb shelter. You know, he's

80
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: a doomsday prepper. He is a doomsday prepper. To be fair,

81
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: Doomsday does come every day, multiple times with the high tide.

82
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: But yes, it could happen to us too, you know,

83
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: alien high tides could happen, and so if we learned

84
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: from these crabs, maybe we would be less skeptical of

85
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: doomsday preppers. It could. No, there's a lot to learn there.

86
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: I just think it's fascinating how many animals live like

87
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: right on the high tide because it's constantly changing and

88
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: it looks so dangerous. I'm like, how did life start

89
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: in the ocean? That looks like the scariest place to live. Yeah,

90
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: I was terrified of the ocean when I was a

91
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: kid because I remember I was playing on the sand

92
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: building sand castle, which was really just kind of a

93
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: pile of sand. It wasn't It didn't have like turrets

94
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: or any kind of like no, like you know, flying

95
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: buttresses or anything. It's like a pile. But you know, anyways,

96
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: I was building my sandpile and then a wave come

97
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: comes in and just completely rex me and my kingdom,

98
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: and it was traumatizing. Damn, everything you built, everything you

99
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: worked for gone in a second. I am Ozzy mandious. Yeah,

100
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: your kingdom gone. I definitely have like wave trauma where

101
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: I don't like I go in like water. I go

102
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: in the water where it's like small waves but big waves.

103
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: I used to try and like body surf as a

104
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: ten year old, and I just got saltwater in my

105
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: nose too many times. And now I'm like, I stay away. Yeah. Yeah,

106
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: there's nothing quite like just standing in the ocean, minding

107
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: your own business and then getting punched by water, absolutely

108
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: pummeled as like a child decked in the face. Yeah. Yeah,

109
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: that's the ocean reminding us like I'm not for you, Like, yeah,

110
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: you belong on land, you do not belong in me. Yeah,

111
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: hey did you adapt? Did you adapt for the water?

112
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: No eat can get up a sandwich made out of Yeah,

113
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: they're all our school bullies. Yeah yeah. I got bullied

114
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: by the ocean a lot when I was a kid.

115
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: It's a it's a traumatizing thing. But that's why I

116
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: feel like these these little sandbub are crabs, are heroes

117
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: because they're they're these just little toyinies, little teeny toynies,

118
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: and then the ocean is like, well, I'm gonna shove

119
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: you in a locker, and it's like ha ha, not

120
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: so fast. I've created an igloo out of sand, and

121
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: now I'm in here and you can't get me. And

122
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: in this little igloo, they've actually trapped a bubble of air.

123
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: So they're totally fine. You know, they can breathe. They're fine,

124
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: they're cool. They're just like chilling out in their little

125
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: igloo while the tide is doing its stupid thing, and

126
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, sure, do whatever you want, tied. I'm

127
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: in here and I'm fine. I have a house. I'm

128
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: a self sufficient guy. I'm a homeowner, all right. Yeah,

129
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: he's paying a mortgage on that thing, Like, yeah, how

130
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: many times does he make that in a day? Yeah? Yeah, exactly. Uh.

131
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: And so, actually, in terms of breathing, even though crabs

132
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: are aquatic or in this case, semi aquatic, they have

133
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: gills that can breathe underwater, but they also have their

134
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: gills can breathe in air as long as the gills

135
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: are moist. You want to have moist gills. Always with

136
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: the moist gills, right, yeah, as we know. But since

137
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: sand bubblers spend so much time in the open air,

138
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: they have also developed gas windows on their legs, which

139
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: are membranous discs that researchers think is for gas exchange,

140
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: so they might breathe with their legs. Maybe, whoa, that

141
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: is innovation. Yeah, really, like we're not taking advantage of

142
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: our legs. Our legs could be doing more. I know,

143
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: I know. It's like, okay, so you can walk, all right,

144
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: So you're one trick pony. You're saying legs, Yeah, yeah,

145
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: you got one thing. What else you got? You gotta

146
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: keep it, keep it fresh. I can't even smell with

147
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: my feet. What is that? What do you mean? Like? Yeah,

148
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, there were not more evolved than these guys,

149
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: Like I don't think we are. I think it's just different.

150
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: I guess if they like skip leg day, then they

151
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: could die, which you know, yeah, that's a little tough's

152
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: I can't keep up with that. So, like you guessed correctly, Kylie,

153
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: the protective domed burrow is uh called an igloo and

154
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: they just chill out in there, perfectly safe, breathing, perfectly

155
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: happy while the tide is going on creating a mass

156
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: of everything. Um. But not only are they pros at

157
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: rapid burrow construction multiple times a day because they have

158
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: to rebuild the burrow after each tide cycle, they are

159
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: also experts at making balls. So remember when I said

160
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: they eat sand, I mean you probably do, because yes,

161
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: that happened, um like a minute ago. Yeah yeah, well

162
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: I think I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. They eat sand,

163
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: but not really like the silica part of the sand.

164
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: They eat the organic matter in the sand. So in

165
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: order to like suck out all the good parts of

166
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: the sand, and they have to filter through it, and

167
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: the they do it unlike other crabs that just like

168
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: pick up some sand and kind of filtered out and

169
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: like spit it out. They put keep putting sand in

170
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: their mouth parts and use water stored in their guilt

171
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: chambers and turns it into this little vortex inside their mouths,

172
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: and they wash the sand but in this circular motion,

173
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: and they create a big ball of sand in their

174
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: mouth and using the water to like flush all of

175
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: the edible organic bits out of it until they have

176
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: this clean ball of sand that they spit out. So

177
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: the ball is like the waste. The ball is like

178
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: what what they don't want to eat? Right exactly? The

179
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: ball is the reject bits. And they have already sucked

180
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: out all the juices from the sand, all the nutritious

181
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: juice nutritious juices. Yummy, umy, sand yummy. If you've ever

182
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: sucked on some sand, you know, you get go to

183
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: the beach and sucking on sand. My favorite thing to

184
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: do the New Diet. It's called sand. But like with

185
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: an umla over the a and you just s sand.

186
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: It's just a couple of handfuls of sand a day,

187
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: and then you can work out so much better. You're

188
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: so much more efficient. It's really good for being regular,

189
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Just suck on some sand.

190
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: Suck on that for being normal. It's for being regular, um,

191
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: you know in the stomach sense, and regular normal as

192
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: a person as well. These balls, I will say they

193
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: also they are very cute. They look like boba, Yeah

194
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: they do. They're very perfectly spherical balls like they make.

195
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: They're just the perfect little size, and they're all kind

196
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: of a uniform size because they keep making this ball

197
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: and sucking out the juices of the sand until the

198
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: ball is just too big for them to look over

199
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: because they don't want to like have the ball so

200
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: big that it impedes their eyesights so they can't watch

201
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: out for predators. So just about the size of like

202
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: a little marble, they spit it out and start sucking

203
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: through so new sand. I'm looking at this gyp. It

204
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: looks like they're doing it really fast. I don't know

205
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: if it's a sped up, but it looks like it's instant.

206
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: I don't think it's sped up that fast. It might

207
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: be a little bit, but I think it's pretty quick

208
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: because they don't. It just looks like they're going through

209
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: like a ball shaped chamber. Like they're not like like

210
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: completely just like molding it, like like you're on some

211
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: sort of like a ceramic pot spinny thing. Like it's

212
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: like it's not right, Yeah, it's not. It's not like

213
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: a ghost where there's like one crab behind it and

214
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: the music swells and they're like creating a ball together. No,

215
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: it's just like they put it in the mouth there there.

216
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: They like take their little pincers and go get like

217
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: little bits of sand in the mouth. Again, the water

218
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: in that they're using to flush all the yummies out

219
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: of the sand is like creating this vortex in their

220
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: mouth and it's like spinning around and then they just

221
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: chuck out a ball. They're like little ball making machines.

222
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: They're so cute. It's adorable, they could create like a

223
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: little marble factory. They could labor. Yeah, hey, look, if

224
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: we have an exploited animal labor enough, here's a new

225
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: way to do it. I'm just always thinking about capitalism,

226
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: thinking about it. The reason I teach people about animals

227
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: to appreciate the beauty and intriguing nature of the animal

228
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: kingdom is so we can monetize it. Yeah, because if

229
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: if these crabs aren't making me money, why are they

230
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: doing this weird thing? Work crab or not sadder? Right?

231
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: Work crabber work crab or not sadder. That's a good one.

232
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: That's I'm very good at. I'm a word smith. Anyways, Um,

233
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: these are called pseudo fecal pellets. Pseudo fecal pellets the

234
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: marbles are yeah, because they're waste, but they don't come

235
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: out of there, but so they're not They don't passed

236
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: through like it's it's kind of an instantaneous right, It's

237
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: like it's feces, but instead of going through their whole

238
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: digestive system, it just goes through the mouth. So they're

239
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: called pseudal fecal pellets, which I feel like scientists just

240
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: love to make everything cute and fun. Sound really really gross. Yeah,

241
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: because they're just making a little ball. It's like sitting

242
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: out the pit of an olive. Yeah, you mean a

243
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: sudi fecal all of a pseudo fecal alive reject all

244
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: of detric detri detritus de tried us. Yeah, I like

245
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: to come the mouth turds, you know, just pop out

246
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: a mouth. There you go, popping out a mouth turd

247
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: at a fancy restaurant. Waiter, excuse me, waiter, please take

248
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: away this bowl of mouth turds from the all. Bring

249
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: me a bowl from my mouth turds please. Uh. Yeah.

250
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: But because they go through so much pieces of sand,

251
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: they actually create these huge patterns, relatively big compared to

252
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: the Tony crab of just a hunch of balls, hundreds

253
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: of balls, because they're just like, you know, make a ball,

254
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: suck out the juices, move on to the next spot.

255
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: It can create these like spiral patterns that the crabs.

256
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: They look like crop circles almost. Yeah, Like it looks

257
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: like like tiny aliens just came on the beach and

258
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: made a crop circle out of sand balls. This is

259
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: so fascinating. They're just like their tiny little garbonzo beans

260
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: like in the shapes of creepy little rings. Yeah, that's nuts.

261
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: So are they just doing this in a circle, Like

262
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: they're just making all these balls and then like spinning

263
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: around like it looks like they're it's very methodical. Yeah.

264
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: I think it's probably just kind of like radially going

265
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: further and further from the the inception point of like,

266
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: because they can also like dig deep and start pulling

267
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: up uh sand from like these feeding trenches. But if

268
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: the quality of the sand is good enough on the

269
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: surface where it's nutrient rich, they will come out of

270
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: their little hidy hole, a little dome that they make,

271
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: and just start processing sand when the tide is low,

272
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: and they probably just like they start closest to their little,

273
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: uh temporary burrow and then just start making more and

274
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: more sand. Sometimes they like will uh come at like

275
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: start digging deep in the sand and excavate out balls

276
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: and chuck balls out of the hole. So yeah, I

277
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: think it's this inadvertent. All right, Well, I guess I

278
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: gotta move two steps to the right and make more

279
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: sandballs and suck on them. Yeah. Yeah, you just gotta

280
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: you just gotta blow through the whole whole sand patch.

281
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: You gotta make your way around the town. Yeah, you know,

282
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: like you gotta paint the town red with your juicy sandballs.

283
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: You gotta. That's what I say. That's what I say

284
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: before a night out. Yeah, that's what I say too.

285
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: I think everyone does, so we're not. I think everyone does.

286
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: The big trope it is they put it on bachelorette

287
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: party merch. Yeah, but I just love that. Like, if

288
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: you saw this on the beach, you would think like

289
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: aliens or art textbook aliens. That looks very textbook alien instant.

290
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, either some one demented kid did this or

291
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of aliens. Possible. Possible. Yeah, I mean kids do.

292
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: Like you give kids wet sand and they do go bananas. Yeah,

293
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: I do. Remember when I was a kid, my friend

294
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: had some membership to this like private special beach, very

295
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: fancy it was. I don't know where it was. I

296
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: don't know if it's somewhere near Huntington Beach or something,

297
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: but it had this like like this nice sand and

298
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: the waves weren't like as intense, and we would make

299
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: ourselves like a human size hot tub like we would.

300
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: The objective of the day was to dig out enough

301
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: space for all of us to sit in and then

302
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: the waves would eventually come in and like fill the

303
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: tub and eventually it would like bring in more and

304
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: more sand. But I relate to this, yeah, yeah, I

305
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 1: mean I I remember doing stuff like that. You just

306
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: dig in the sand and then like your swimsuit gets

307
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: completely full with like sand, so it makes it look

308
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 1: like you took a dump in your swimsuit. Remember that

309
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: you'd like be in the in the sand hot tub

310
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: because I grew up in San Diego, so I was

311
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: your in this life. I'm a mariner essentially. Um. But

312
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: the worst part is like you'd stand up from the

313
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: sand pit, the the salty, watery sandpit, and then it's like, oh,

314
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: like I'm full of sand? Now, how could this have happened? Possibly?

315
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: And this? Yeah, I hate going into the ocean and

316
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: then just turning your swimsuit over and then just like

317
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: feeling all the sand coming out. It's it's traumatizing. Which

318
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: I feel like these crabs know how to organize sand

319
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: really well, and so we could hire them to help

320
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: organize the sand for us. Right, It's like, hey, like

321
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: I get sand everywhere, and then I come home and

322
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: sand it's everywhere. It just gets everywhere, but then they're

323
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: really good at organizing all the sand into little balls. Yeah.

324
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: If the sand was in all these like knee little balls,

325
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be happening. We wouldn't we wouldn't have this problem.

326
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: And unfortunately every time the tide comes in it ruins

327
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: their their sandball artwork that they do. Uh So that's

328
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: a shame. Yeah, I feel like the moral of this

329
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: episode is the tides are mean and bullies. It's just like,

330
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, in a way, it's sort of beautiful. It's

331
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: like this ethereal like or maybe ephemeral is the word.

332
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. Nothing lasts forever. They're uh like, you

333
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: can make an art, make art and then it will

334
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: just disappear, and you can try and make a name

335
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: for yourself with the tide will wash you away too,

336
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: And maybe that's sad, but maybe it's kind of freeing. Yeah.

337
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, my feeling though, is we should maybe blow

338
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: up the moon and stop having tides. Like that's a

339
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: really nice sack, could be fun, just like one giant lake. Yeah,

340
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 1: like your sentiment of like, oh everything is temporary, it's cool,

341
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: but hey, guess what, the moon could also be temporary.

342
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: We could stop having these goddamn tides. Yeah, you're on

343
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: a you're on a mission. You're gonna get rid of

344
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: that guy. Yeah, I'm on team Crab here, I'm on

345
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm on team sand Bubbler Crab Crab versus Moon. It's

346
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: time And they've been feuding for centuries, just like King

347
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: Kong and Godzilla ancient feud, and it's time we do

348
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: something about it. It's time we pick a side. What

349
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying is that, you know, there's not enough room

350
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: for both crab and Moon, and personally I side with Crab.

351
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: I like crab. We gotta stand with our fellow carbon

352
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: based life form, you know, like what is the Moon

353
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: done for me lately? Yeah, And as we've talked about

354
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: on the show before, Carsonization is the routine habit of

355
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: evolution of continually evolving crabs over and over again, separately,

356
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: which just keeps on happening. Which means, so crabs are

357
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: coming from different points on the tree essentially essentially, I

358
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: mean like it's it's all coming from crustaceans or you know,

359
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: like so specific node on the tree, but crustaceans keep

360
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: independently evolving into crab form over and over again. Even spiders,

361
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: which are not crustaceans but they are arthropods, do sometimes

362
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: kind of turn into crab form, as do other Arthur

363
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: pod other insects. Did spiders come from crab? Where did

364
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: spiders come from? That's my big question in this episode

365
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: about crabs is where does spiders come from? Spiders don't

366
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: come from crabs, But spiders and crab do share a

367
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: common ancestor because they're both arthur pods. But spider and

368
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: crab diverged quite a while ago, so they're not very

369
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: close relatives. But there are things called spider crabs, which

370
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: we will talk about later. Um, but they aren't called

371
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: that because they're spiders. They're called that because of their long,

372
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: sexy legs. So they just have a spider vibe. They

373
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: got a daddy logs they gotta they got a daddy

374
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: long legs fibe. Right now, I can't. Twitter has ruined me.

375
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: Now I can't say daddy long legs without anyways. Um, well,

376
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: that's a good point at which I think we could

377
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: take a commercial break for me to rinse my brain

378
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: out with soap. Wait, I don't know the daddy long

379
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: legs reference. No, there's no reference. It's just like it's

380
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: everyone's like, like daddy, whatever, daddy? Ye, daddy? What did

381
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: I miss? What disgusting daddy did I miss? I'm keeping

382
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: this in welcome back. No, Kylie thought I was referencing something,

383
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: and no, it turns out I'm just All you have

384
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: to do is say like daddy or anything like even

385
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: tangentially suggestive of something father. Father. It's a funny word,

386
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: you know, Daddy's hilarious. It is. I love daddy. It

387
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: is funny. Used to be like you daddy, who calls

388
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: it daddy? But now I's like anything like a shirt

389
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: with the word daddy his technical it's it's such. It's so,

390
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: it's so trashy and good. It's like and I just

391
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: love the overuse of it. Like someone sees a hamburger

392
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: and they're like, mm, feed me sandwich, daddy, and it's like, yeah, okay, great,

393
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: let's I feel like non men are reclaiming the word

394
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: daddy from the like I feel like it used to be.

395
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: This is chance, I'm sorry, brief, non crab, tangent. I

396
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: feel like men were like, daddy is our word. You

397
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: say it because we're in control, we're daddy. But now

398
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: everyone else is like, no, weird Daddy. Like, I don't

399
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: think you understand. Weird Daddy. We're daddy, and mommy we're daddy.

400
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: Where mommy, we're daddy. We are all one. I'm trying

401
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: to think how to tie this back into crabs. Let's

402
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: talk about crab daddy's. Fiddler crabs are pretty cool, right

403
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: because they got them big old, big old fiddle on them.

404
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: Just they have a fiddle on them. They have these

405
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: like sharp clean lines too, very sleek. Yeah. Yeah, they're

406
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: built like a car, like a Maserati. I'm gonna pretend

407
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: I know about cars. I'm just gonna say some car

408
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: names right now. Corvette, that's one of them. Uh, Chevy Vault,

409
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: um sports car. Ford Fiesta. They're built like a Ford Fiesta. Um,

410
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: so you know they have They're called fiddler crabs because

411
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: one of their claws. And this only applies to the

412
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: crab daddy's I'm afraid to say another problem with crab feminism.

413
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: But the male crabs have a huge claw and one

414
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 1: little tiny claw. So they have this big, single, meaty,

415
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: chunky claw, the daddy of all claws. And I guess

416
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: because their claws so big. People when they were naming

417
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: animals back in the day, like hundreds of years ago.

418
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: They're like, that's a fiddle because we have fiddles, because

419
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: we're old, and right now it's fiddles. It's not like

420
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: uh um, I'm trying to think of what the modern

421
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: equivalent with. Yeah, it's an iPod touch right right. If

422
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: we had discovered this crab nowadays, we would have called

423
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: it an iPod crab. Isn't it sad? Isn't it sad?

424
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: What this world has come to. We've replaced that that

425
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: we can't name things. It's sad that everything's been named. Yeah,

426
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: we gotta go deeper and smaller. Like you get you

427
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: can start getting small, you start finding really cool things

428
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: because it's like, man, we just looked over them the

429
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: last time we were looking, So I bet we could

430
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: find a new I bet you the next time we

431
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: discover a new species of crab, I'm going to get

432
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: in touch with you and you get to name it.

433
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: I would love to do that. I would love to

434
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: do that for the scientific community. I want to be

435
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: like some sort of biologists that runs around naming things,

436
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: like on the naming committee, and Pete will come to

437
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: me and they're like, I found this weird slug, and

438
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, cool, that's a bedtime slug. Next, and then

439
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: it just becomes like a whole, a whole life force.

440
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: Give me a good give me a good new species

441
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: of crab name go okay um uh window silk crab.

442
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: It's like a very pensive small Yeah. I like that.

443
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah that's really good. That's actually legitimately really good. So yeah,

444
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: it's sort of like introverted tumbler cup of tea type crab. Well,

445
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: speaking of introverted tumbler cup of tea type of crab,

446
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: I think fiddler crabs, at least certain fiddler crabs are

447
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: shyer than other fiddler crabs. And there's an academic paper

448
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: that actually refers to shy crabs. So we'll we'll get

449
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: into that in a little boot that's freshes. Yes, So

450
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: fiddler crabs, it's not just one species. There are over

451
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: a hundred species of fiddler crabs, all varying in appearance

452
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: and behavior. So, just to reiterate, the female fiddler crabs

453
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: have two normal size small claws, and males have one

454
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: little clawn, one big honk and claw. Uh so it's

455
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: big honk and claw. Like maybe it's just the specific picture,

456
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: but it looks like he's got like a really firm handshake,

457
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: like he's shaken out with his big honker and um

458
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: it feels like a power play. Yeah, it is absolutely.

459
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: In fact, they do really firm handshakes with each other

460
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: to try to compete for mates with their big honk

461
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: and claw, just like humans. Do you know how like

462
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: two men meet and they're just like, all right, I'm

463
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna try to squeeze the blood out of your hand

464
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: and somehow they'll make me a better uh person working

465
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: at this office building. Yeah, let's see who's the alpha

466
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: of this insurance company exactly. I mean, like really again,

467
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: evolution loves a crab and we're like, oh, we're humans

468
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: were nothing like crabs. But come on, like, you go

469
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: to any insurance company, any all state, like find people

470
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: doing crab stuff, like firm handshakes. You find a guy

471
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: with one giant arm that uses to shake with shaking

472
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: hand that's a shaken hand, and the best numbers, he

473
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: has the best sales. Everyone worships him because he's in charge, right, God,

474
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: he'd be king of the Fiddler crabs with his big

475
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: old shaken hand. Yeah, they love Muddy and sandy beaches,

476
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: both crabs and people at insurance companies. They live in

477
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: mangroves as well, and even salt marshes on coastal regions

478
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: around the world, and they come in a variety of fun,

479
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 1: fruity flavors. There's the lemon Fiddlers of Fiji, who are

480
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: lemon flavored and yellow, bright yellow. There's the watermelon Fiddler

481
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: of the Western Pacific who comes in watermelon colors. This

482
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: guy looks like a watermelon. Yeah. I want to pop

483
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: him in my mouth and like gusher's chew on them,

484
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: But I know that would be a bad time. It

485
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: just wouldn't be the type of gush you want, the

486
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: wrong type of gush, you know. Yeah. Unfortunately, they come

487
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: in grape flavor. There's a purple one. Who's I assume

488
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: grape flavored. I'm I'm going to assume that these don't

489
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: just taste like crab meat, and they actually taste like,

490
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's gatorade rules that tastes purple. I can tell. Yeah, Yeah,

491
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: I love how like grape flavor is just purple flavor

492
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: because it doesn't taste like grape gap flavor. It doesn't.

493
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: It tastes nothing like grape. That was always my big

494
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: gripe with grape was like ripe with grape. It was

495
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: my big grape gripe. It was I'm like, this doesn't

496
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: taste like a grape because I love a grape, but

497
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: I hate welch. Is what's going on here? Right? Because

498
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: it's purple flavored. It's not grape flavored. That's just purple.

499
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: And it's like you either have to be pro purple

500
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: flavored or pro grape flavored. Like I don't think I

501
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: think you gotta pick fence sitters. Anyways, I'm I'm whatever,

502
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: whatever flavor this crab is, that's the side I'm going

503
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: to take. Uh. And then there's a red bull flavor

504
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: crab who's bright blue, bright red, looks like a red

505
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: bull can This guy is in a mosh pit, like

506
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: he's giving me a scary energy. Yeah, he's got like

507
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: one of those uh, one of those like necklaces remember

508
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: what we had in the nineties. Yeah. Yeah, because he's

509
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: a crab. And that makes sense too because he's on

510
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: the beach. Yeah, he'd find a little shark tooth. We've

511
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: a little rope for himself. Yeah, he's got a hacky

512
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: sack and he's not good at it, but boy don't

513
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: he still have that hacky sack. He's aggressive about it.

514
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, no, he's always going anyways. I actually

515
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: think this one might be a female because both of

516
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: its claws are the same. But still just you can

517
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: meet a girl in a smash pitch. She's that of course. Yeah. Yeah, no,

518
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: I've watched a mosh pit. I haven't gone in it,

519
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: but you know observed, no, no, no, no, no, I

520
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: get I'm five too, I'd get like absolutely right, yeah, yeah,

521
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: I uh. I just don't like sweat, you know, which

522
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: is funny because I sweat a lot, but regardless to

523
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: be in those places because it's always just at eye

524
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: level with like, right, boy, armpit and it just isn't

525
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: like a good time. You're just breathing in like the

526
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: worst part. You kind of slap into something and it

527
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: makes a wet slapping noise and it's like, yeah, that's

528
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: the arm pit against my face. I don't want that anyways.

529
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: Another reason that for us to become more crab because like,

530
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure their arm pits are better than ours. Crabs

531
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: don't go to raves, Yeah, crabs don't. Well that's not

532
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: necessarily true, but why they got them big claws to

533
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: be hot and sexy and, like we discussed earlier, to

534
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: have aggressive handshakes and win in the battle of the handshakes.

535
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: So the big claw isn't really good for anything other

536
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: than looking nice and meaty and sexy. The little claw

537
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: does all the work for feeding. I think that's also

538
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: another reason why they're called fiddler crabs, is like they

539
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: have the big claw and they got the little claws,

540
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: so the little claws like going, and so they're like, oh, yes, indeed,

541
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: this looks like a fiddler. I'm quite smart. My name

542
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: is Quincy feather Bottom, and I'm naming the crab because

543
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: I found the seven, isn't it. I'm covered in rickets

544
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: and this year crab looks like he's got a little fiddle.

545
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: Not cute anyway. So I'm thirty five, so I'm retiring.

546
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: Time to die. I'm really roasting people in the six hundreds. Yeah,

547
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: they've got their high horse for far too long. Good. Yeah.

548
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: So they communicate to each other through claw gesters, you know,

549
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: just like New Yorker's am I right, just like, hey,

550
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm walking here, That's what they're doing. I'm walking here.

551
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: They're always going, hey, I'm walking here. That's all their

552
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: scientific paper on that say hey I'm here. The hey

553
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm walking here phenomenon A study an intergenerational study of crabshages. Yeah,

554
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: published in Crabs Monthly bi monthly. Anyways, So if a

555
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: male wants to mate with a female, he will wave

556
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: his big meaty claw at her and engage in ritual

557
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: combat with other males where they test their cloth strength

558
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: and growth against each other. I have given you a

559
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: video of the fight. Doesn't really have a good soundtrack,

560
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: so you can listen to it with oh here we go. Okay,

561
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: listen to it without the sound Crab fight? Is this

562
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: a famous video? Have I maybe seen this? No? I

563
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: don't think it is. It's only got twenty seven views.

564
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: But okay, this is not the This is not the

565
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: fight I thought it was. I think I'm thinking of

566
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: a hermit crab fight. Okay, okay, I see it. They're

567
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: like in hands yeah, dont the Star Star Trek Star

568
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: Wars fight music, you know, gret sense and but it's

569
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: like a real, real firm handshake. It looks like they're

570
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: not even looking at each other there now, they're just

571
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: doing mirror exercises there just moving them at the same time.

572
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is really proving, uh, Like

573
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: what are they proving to each other right now? I mean,

574
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: you know who got the biggest claw, the biggest, baddest claw. Yeah,

575
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: you know who's best. I guess they can't like eyeball it.

576
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of how they move it to which I do. Actually,

577
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: actually they do sometimes eyeball it. In fact, like some

578
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: crabs have a strategy of having a bigger claw, but

579
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: it's more useless. But the if the claw is big enough,

580
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: it might just intimidate another crab visually, and they're like, oh,

581
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to mess with that big claw. But

582
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: it turns out it's not very good claw. It's kind

583
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: of a crummy father Like I'm just not even good.

584
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get wrecked. Yeah. Actually, so the claus like,

585
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: if they lose a claw, they will regenerate a new

586
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: claw as they moll which is normal for for crabs

587
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: and other crustaceans. But in some species, if the male

588
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: loses a big claw, uh, the other claw then starts

589
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: to grow bigger and bigger, so that other claw becomes

590
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: the big claw and the old big claw just regrows

591
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: into a small claw. So you know, I don't know,

592
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: that's weird. Wow, that's nuts that they could just they're like, nope,

593
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: Like it would be like if we lost an arm

594
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: and then we wanted to make it a leg. It

595
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: would just no, it would be the other way around.

596
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: Well I don't like it'd be like you cut off

597
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: an arm and your other arm gets huge, but then

598
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: you grow another normal sized arm. Yeah, then you would. Okay,

599
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: so okay, so their big arm gets cut off, their

600
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: tiny arm grows into a big army, and then what

601
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: happens to the other arm, the one that's into a

602
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: tiny arm, So they just switch. They just switch. Yeah,

603
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: it's like if someone kind of I have to have

604
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: a big arm at all times. Yeah, it's like if

605
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: fascinating if you're like right handed or left handed and

606
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: then someone cut off your dominant hands, so then you

607
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: became a dominant hand in the other hand, but then

608
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: your other hand and grew into it the other hand.

609
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I made it more confusing anyways, No, I

610
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: think I get it. I think okay, big claw get

611
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: fall off, grow into small claw, but small claw grow

612
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: into big claw. Yeah. There we go to three. Also,

613
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: you may sometimes see a fiddler crab rip off its

614
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: own claw. Don't worry that normal, it's okay. It's usually

615
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: if their claw gets injured, they will self amputate, or

616
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: if they're feeling threatened, they will self amputate and throw

617
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: the claw at the predator. Either way, it's like if

618
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: they don't yeah, yeah, they're just like, oh, I don't

619
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: need this claw anymore, Like it's dead weight, it's too injured.

620
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: So they just rip it off, throw it and grow

621
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: new one, and it's fine. That's crazy, okay. So they

622
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: throw it at predators, like is this other crabs or

623
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: is this like a bigger like species that it isn't

624
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: their own? They'll just chuck it. Usually it's a different species.

625
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: It could be like a I suppose if there's a

626
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: crab that wants to eat them. But usually the self

627
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: amputation and throwing out a predator is to give the

628
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: predators something to snack on while they run away. Oh,

629
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, hey, here you go. It's not

630
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: like here's a scary thing, because I feel like that

631
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't be that scary. Yeah, no, it's not. It's not

632
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: to scare them it's like, oh, you want to eat me, Well,

633
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: here's an order derve see you. Uh, if you take

634
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: my wallet, don't kill me, right right? Except your wallet

635
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: is is your arm? Yeah. I feel like if you

636
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: were getting mugged and you like held your wallet in

637
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: your hand and you're like, okay, take my whole army,

638
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: you start like trying to chop off your own arm

639
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: to give them, I feel like they would just leave

640
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: you alone. Yeah, they'd be like, Okay, they probably don't

641
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: have a lot in their wallet because they're acting really

642
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: really weird, right right, So whatever they have in there,

643
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to see. Whatever they have in there,

644
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: it's not good. It's probably fingers. Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm

645
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: that's all right. Yeah. Just you have a nice day, ma'am.

646
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, so you know Claus Shenanigans with claws. The

647
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: reason I'm actually talking about Fiddler crabs isn't because of

648
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: their big giant claws. It's because they build chimbleys. They

649
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: built chimneys. Oh my god, Fiddler on the Roof Yeah,

650
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: with a chimney. Wow, that's fascinating. What are okay are

651
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: these these are the chimneys right here? They're like little tubes. Yeah,

652
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: little tubes. What is the purpose of it? You know,

653
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: sometimes they just want to do a little fireplace and

654
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, no, that's not just hanging out. Yeah, just

655
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: hanging out in the living room with their little crab

656
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: cup of coffee and in a good crab book for

657
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: a long day of avoiding tides. Yeah, like like reading

658
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: cribe and crab prejudice, Crab crab pride and crab prejudice,

659
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: crab pride and crab prejudice of crab wrath yeah, crabs

660
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: of crab crab Yeah, thank you. Yes, crab prey love

661
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: is a good one. It's about self care. Yeah, you know,

662
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: it's it's about self crab dulization. Anyways, crabs do chimneys.

663
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: They make a chimney, uh, and what it is. So

664
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: it's interesting because not all fiddler crabs make chimneys. Even

665
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: within a single species of fiddler crabs, only some uh

666
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: specimens will make these chimneys. It tends to be females. Um.

667
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: But males will sometimes make these chimneys. And basically they

668
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: build them. They have their their burrow that they hide

669
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: in for safety, uh, and then they build this chimney

670
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: up from usually their burrows just a hole and then

671
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: they build a chimney up from that hole. Uh and

672
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: then they pop out like olll Gov. You wan't me

673
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: to sweep of chimney, you know from Harry Remember remember

674
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: Harry Potter, when Harry Potter the chimneys. Yeah, I remember

675
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: Harry Poppins and the Sorcerer's chim chimbley sweep with Harry

676
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: popper Off. That was so sad when Doubledore had to

677
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: watch all those kids. Yeah, and Dumbledore flies in on

678
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: his umbrella. He is like the you know, like we're

679
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: gonna make you fight Wizard Hitler. That was a good movie,

680
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: right right, yeah, yeah, the whole Nazi allegory. There's so

681
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: much going on there. Yeah yeah, yeah, good good movie.

682
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: Dick Van Dyke classic, classic, class a great role for him.

683
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 1: Harry Potter was a wonderful role for Dick van dye.

684
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: It was it was he was so good at it.

685
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: All the capers he did, all cutting the capers, dancing

686
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: with the penguins with his magic wand that's what really

687
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: got about the ground. I mean, that's what made me

688
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 1: realize who Dick Van Dyke was. So I'm on the map. Yeah,

689
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, so a bunch of Dick van Dyke little

690
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: crabs in their little chimneys. Uh, and they apparently sometimes

691
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: the chimneys are really well constructed, like this, neat little too.

692
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just a pile of dirt, pile of sand.

693
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: Didn't do you that? Some of these guys are not

694
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: very good. I don't want to be rude to them,

695
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: but not tough love. I don't know if they're that

696
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: good at it. Give it to them straight there they suck. Actually,

697
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: I just like I have a lot of notes personally. Yeah,

698
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: some of these just don't look like chimneys. That's the note.

699
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: Some of them looks looks just like a pile of sand. Guys,

700
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Come on, what are you doing here?

701
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: Just take some classes, build just skills up, and you know,

702
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: come back to me when you're ready. Maybe are Yeah,

703
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: take a step back and look at what you've done,

704
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: and it's like, does this look like a chimney to you?

705
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like a chimney to me? You might have

706
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: to do something to me when you're ready. Okay, come

707
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: back to me when you're ready to get out of

708
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: my Keep doing it, though, but keep doing it, but

709
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: keep at it keeping in the little let's keep in

710
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: touch because I think there's something here. Let's just keep talking.

711
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: You have my email, Let's keep the dialogue open. Uh,

712
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: don't be a stranger. But yeah, no, but no, but no,

713
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: but yeah, but no, but yeah, but no. So the

714
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: reason they build these chimneys is partially a mystery. Recent

715
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: research suggests that it's maybe to confuse predators and aggressive

716
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: con specifics. That means just a con specific means someone

717
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: else in your own species, Like, uh, you're you're con

718
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: specific to me. Um, uh yeah, and I'm a con

719
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: specific to you. You know, con specifics here. It's kind

720
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: of like a calmrade of yeah, yeah exactly. But sometimes,

721
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, you saw these crabs like doing thegressive handshake,

722
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: and if some like if a bill from accounting is

723
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: like like handshake with me, it's like please, no, just

724
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: how about I go down my chimney. Don't thank you.

725
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: We don't need to shake hands. We don't need to

726
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: bring handshaking back. No, No, that was a good thing

727
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: that we lost. You know. There's like like there's a

728
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: lot of like go back to normal after the pandemic,

729
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: but there are some things that I think we can

730
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: keep like no handshakes, although it is coming back a

731
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: little bit. I had to shake a couple of hands recently,

732
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know you, we could have just

733
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: not done it, Like this is the way for us

734
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: to have met without doing it. This is a critical

735
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: time in the reintroduction of people to other people, which

736
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: is that we could maybe stop that from happening. Yeah,

737
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: we have an opportunity to change, and I just don't

738
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: know if we'll take it. Yeah. Also I have bad hands. Uh,

739
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what you call it. It's just bad hands,

740
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: where like my hand is the wrong, wrong level of moisture,

741
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: wrong temperature, it's bad hands. And so I don't want

742
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: to dry hands. Yeah. Well my hands are like dry

743
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: on the top and then wet on the bottom, and

744
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 1: they aren't the right level of heat because sometimes they're cold,

745
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: but sometimes they're too hot. And so I don't want

746
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: anyone to have to touch my hands. Yeah, I don't

747
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: want to deal with it. And also like I have

748
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: really small hands and people comment on it a lot

749
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 1: and they'll god, baby hand and I'm like, I wish

750
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: I hadn't shown you are you little tidy baby baby?

751
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: We can't have a business meeting because you're just a

752
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: little baby. How do you hold onto a glass of milk? At?

753
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: Oh baby, that's you a glass of water, but clearly

754
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: you couldn't hold one because you're a little baby. Or

755
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: you want to sign this contract, you want me to

756
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: get you a smaller pin for your baby hands? Yeah, here,

757
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: take some crayons. Oh man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That

758
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: is super awkward. Like, well, I know it's it's um

759
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: a constant struggle, but U and I can tell it

760
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: looks like it uh no, but but no, I that

761
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: is like, don't your hand looks normal? I think I

762
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: just have I think it looks normal on zoom because

763
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: I think my face is just kind of small too,

764
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: so like in proportion. But like if I shook hands

765
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: with like an adult man, they're like people will grab

766
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: my hands and be like that's a small hand. Okay,

767
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's a little bit like you know, like

768
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: it's maybe maybe this guy has big hands. Maybe maybe

769
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 1: your hands are just like abnormally large. Have you thought

770
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: about that? Yeah, no one ever thinks about that. No

771
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: one ever self reflects. You know, you know what, maybe

772
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: my hands could be a little bit smaller. Maybe it

773
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: would be a little bit considerate of me, shave them

774
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: down a little bit, maybe keep your hands a little smaller,

775
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: like like, oh, pancake hands, you know. Uh yeah, no, don't,

776
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: don't like don't. That's that's the key thing. Like a

777
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: handshake generally means you're just meeting someone, and so I

778
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: think like commenting, oh, you have little baby hands is

779
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: maybe something you shouldn't do when you're just meeting someone.

780
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on politeness or making friends, so

781
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I guess it is usually

782
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: people I know well or like people I somewhat know,

783
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: where there's some situation, like there will be some situation

784
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: in which we have to hold it our hands or

785
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: hands the center. And then they'll say, well, you're a professional.

786
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 1: Every time you see your friends, you shake hands with them. Yes,

787
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: I say hello, very lovely to see you. I'm so

788
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: happy to be working with you. And then we sign

789
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of Crown tracts and then we you know,

790
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: we hang out. We watched glasses of milk. Yeah, uh yeah,

791
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: don't don't talk about people's hand sizes. Um, but if

792
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: you're a crab, like they're constantly talking about their class sizes.

793
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: That's the whole world again. Just like if your friend

794
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: says like, oh, your hands are small, but like that's

795
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: a very crab thing to say. That's a very crab behavior,

796
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, that's crab behavior. It's not people behavior.

797
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: We're being You're you're using crab voices. Let's use human

798
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: voices now, um so uh yeah, yeah. It turns out

799
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: that the crabs who decide to build chimneys are shy

800
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: all babies. Researchers literally in their paper documenting chimney construction,

801
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: were like, these appear to be shy crabs because they

802
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: spend more time in their burrows. They are more skittish

803
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: around other crabs, and they just are introverted shy crabs.

804
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 1: They just and they make their chimneys. So people are

805
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: other crabs, I guess in their crabmunity. Uh just don't

806
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: like pop in their holes as much, you know what

807
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Just like they're just like, wow, they're just

808
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: shy little guys. They just don't want to come to

809
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: the party. And that's okay, Yeah, just little little shy

810
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: crabs just spending all their all time in their crab burrows,

811
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: spend all their time on crab chat rooms, you know, yeah,

812
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: just a I am age age crab type location right

813
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: right right, number of legs, class eyes, number of legs,

814
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: class eyes. Just really talking on straight with strangers all

815
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah yeah, uh yeah, no, I mean yeah,

816
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: just like like I don't know, I can't get over

817
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: the fact that scientists were like studying these crabs in

818
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: a serious capacity. It is like, yeah, this is a

819
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: shy crab. You know. We were going to talk about

820
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're they're anatomy and their biological functions,

821
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: but we couldn't get over the fact that they're just

822
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: so shy. They're just so shy. We like went up

823
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: to them with a tiny microphone and we were like, hey,

824
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: why do you build these chimneys? And they're just like no,

825
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: I thank you. I don't biggle, And none of them

826
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: would breathe their slam poetry. They're too shy about it. Now,

827
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 1: they're too shy, beautiful singing voices, and no one is

828
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: going to know they're just wearing a ponytail and putting

829
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: on glasses. It's time to take them off, you know.

830
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: And if a crab, can you imagine if a crab

831
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: like took off their glasses and like tossed their well,

832
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 1: they don't have hair, but I guess they're antenna in

833
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: the hair. Like that transformation. Beautiful and suddenly she's beautiful.

834
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: Suddenly she's arrived, and it's like you thought she was

835
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: shy building her little sad on chimney, staying out of

836
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: the limelight. But now she's arrived and she's actually she's

837
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: Crab Prom queen. She's the hottest crab at Crab Prom. Now. Yeah,

838
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing. It's beautiful. And there's a diagram

839
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: diagram of crabs building these chimneys if you want it, Like,

840
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, I thought maybe you'd want a diagram

841
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: of a crab building a chimney, just so you know,

842
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: I want to see the process. Yeah, I'm gonna make

843
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: this my screen saver. Thank you, that's good. I'm honored. Um,

844
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: I just I do love this diagram. I'll include it

845
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: in our our document that I share with all of

846
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: you listeners of the images that we discussed in the show.

847
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: You can find that in the footnotes as always, But

848
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: this diagram is um step one or sorry, step a

849
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: no no no wait, Step one A crab digging into

850
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: depositing mud. Crab comes out a hole. Step one B.

851
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: Crab has a ball of sand in clause step two

852
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: Part A dragging and stacking mud. Step two Part B.

853
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: He's starting a crab chimney. Step three part A. It's

854
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: a bigger crab chimney. Step three part B, even bigger

855
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: crab chimney. Like that's what the diagram is. These steps

856
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: were divided very strangely. Yeah, it's kind of like a

857
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,919
Speaker 1: how to draw thing where it's like we're like, it's like, yeah,

858
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: start how to draw rabbit. Start with an oval. Now

859
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: do a circle. Uh, rabbit traumatic shaving. It's a rabbit

860
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: right right, cross hatch, cross hatch. Now it's bunny. That's

861
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:34,959
Speaker 1: kind of what's going on here. It's like, it's a hole,

862
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: there's a ball. Now suddenly it's a chimney. You know,

863
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,439
Speaker 1: very useful diagram. I like it. I liked it because

864
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to build one of my own. And so

865
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: now I have the tools. Now you have the tools.

866
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: You know what, information is the best tool, better than pincers.

867
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: It's true, it's true. Now I can just beat them

868
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: at their own game, because you know what I have.

869
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: I have a shovel. Yeah, no, we better. We better

870
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: because if we don't start catching up to crabs, were

871
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: in trouble and we will talk about that when we

872
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: get back, because spider crabs are building pyramids underwater and

873
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: we might be doomed. No, So, Kylie, do you not

874
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: like spiders? Oh, I'm okay with spiders. Okay, good, I'm

875
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of pro spider. Honestly. That's really good

876
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: to hear because so far you've been pro crab, which

877
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: I again appreciate. I'm I'm pro things with a lot

878
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: of legs, except for like centipedes and millipedes. I don't

879
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: really subscribe to that, But um, crabs and spiders I'm

880
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: okay with. I don't like kill a spider when I

881
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: see one, Yeah, kind of just let it be. Yeah,

882
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,479
Speaker 1: I you know, I like spiders in the house because

883
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, I don't like getting bugs in my food.

884
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: And you don't eat my food. You eat the bugs

885
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: that eat my food. Yeah, we're eating different foods. There's

886
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: no reason. I truly like, I don't even put it

887
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: in a paper cup and take it outside. I just

888
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: let it stay. I do that if they're like in

889
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: a high traffic area because I don't want to step

890
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: on a spider. But if they're just my chilling out

891
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: in a corner, it's like, hey man, look I'm eating

892
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: cereal and you're eating flies. This is perfect. Yeah, as

893
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: long as you don't want any of my cereal. I

894
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: was we grew up. I grew up like next to

895
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: a hiking trail, and so we had tarantulas, like we

896
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 1: get like one or two a year on the porch,

897
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: and they were very scary and they would charge at you. Um. Yeah,

898
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: that's just for a hug, though, like, come on, bring

899
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: it in, come here, I just want to bite you

900
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. So that was deeply scary. Um.

901
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: But every other spider, I'm like, you know what, it's fine. Yeah,

902
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, I feel you Like. I actually did have

903
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: a brief fear of spiders when I was a kid,

904
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: because there was like a honking big spider in my

905
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: bed one time, just like pulled down the covers, is

906
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,479
Speaker 1: like right next to me on my pillowing, like hey there,

907
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: just for me out. So I kept checking my bed, Yeah,

908
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: kept kept checking my bed for spiders. But then after college,

909
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: when I learned more about spiders, I was like you

910
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: know what. I'm into. These into these folks. I like them,

911
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: got over my fear of spiders. I also held like

912
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: someone's pet tarantula, which is a lot better than just

913
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: honestly from afar. Honestly though, like when something's a pet,

914
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: I have a much different reaction to it than just

915
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: seeing it out in situ or uh, you know, what's

916
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: the cinematic term, like in in cinema? Very tay. I

917
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: don't know what is it? When you see something in

918
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: real life? Do you just call it seeing it in

919
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: real life? I've forgotten. Sorry, that's a traditional cinema term

920
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: for it? Is I? I r L? Okay, thank you, No,

921
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: I've forgotten, Like, how do you refer to real life?

922
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 1: It's not something I've been dealing with lately. We're not

923
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: leaving living it anymore now, we're not. It's just not

924
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: something I've had to think about. So when I see

925
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: like a snake, I r L. It's like I'm startled

926
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: in a little frightened. If I see a mouse, I

927
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: r L. Like, especially in my home, I'm like, you know,

928
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: oh that's not good. I don't like that. And the

929
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: same thing with tarantula. I see a tarantula, you know,

930
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: just like sitting on the end of the street and like,

931
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: what the what are you doing, buddy? I don't like

932
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: this just staring at me. But like, if someone's got

933
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: a pet rat, or a pet snake or or a

934
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: pet tarantula, I'm like, all right, you uh, you've already

935
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: built up a rapport with at least one humans. So

936
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: I kind of like, you know, yeah, do pet tarantulas

937
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: like their owners? Like? Do they they just don't bite them? Well,

938
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: I have never owned a tarantula, and far be it

939
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: from me to say that tarantulas don't love their owners,

940
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: because I'm sure we have a lot of listeners who

941
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: have tarantulism. Kylie, between you and me, I don't. I

942
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: don't think tarrangelas are capable of love. WHOA, be careful.

943
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: You are messing with the tarantula owner demographic and they

944
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: are scary they've got a tar angela. I think tarantula's

945
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: can feel the emotion of neutrality, and for a tarantula,

946
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: that's love. Yeah, I think like love in the animal

947
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: kingdom sometimes is you won't kill me, so I will

948
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: be cool about this. Yeah, it's neutrality. But yeah, I

949
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: think tarantulas can be neutral towards their owners, which is

950
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: a huge compliment from the tarantula community. Yeah, but you know,

951
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: speaking of tarantula's, a kind of underwater tarantula is a

952
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: giant spider crab which looks like a crab but with

953
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: big old tarantula legs, And honestly, I think it's a cutie.

954
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: But I could understand if someone didn't like it. You're

955
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: wrong not to like it. But you know, it's just

956
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: because it's got spider legs doesn't mean it's not cute.

957
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: Because it's got that little crab face with the little

958
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: rostrum that looks like a pointy nose, and it's just

959
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: it's cute. It's keute to me. Yeah, it looks on

960
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: to me. It looks like a like a baby duck

961
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: with a bunch of like tiki torch legs. Like for

962
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 1: some something about the face it's got like a maybe

963
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: this is just a trick of the eye in this photo,

964
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: but it almost looks like it has a beak. Yeah,

965
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: that's the rostrum. It's a it's just sort of an

966
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: protrusion of like the front of the face. It's not

967
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: actually a nose, but it kind of looks like a

968
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: pointy nose. I do like that. Crabs have sometimes look

969
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: like they have that pointy little nose. Not so much

970
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: seeing the baby. Okay, if I squint, if you really like,

971
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: if you you know what, I'm looking closer at it

972
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: and it does not look like that at all, I

973
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: would like to reverse my opinion. I want to take

974
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: that back. Yeah, but if I squint almost enough that

975
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm closing my eyes, maybe, Yeah, if I go like that,

976
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: I also see a little bit of sea turtle potentially

977
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: sea turtle face. Yeah. What, I'm really trying to make

978
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,439
Speaker 1: this guy cute, and I just don't know if he is. Yeah,

979
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: to me, it just looks like crab face. But listen,

980
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: that's not the reason we're talking about these We're talking

981
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: about them because they make pyramids of themselves, giant spider

982
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: crab pyramids they have. Wow, that's just a pile of crabs.

983
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: It's just a pile of crabs. So before we explain

984
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: the pile of crabs, let's talk about the crabs themselves,

985
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: the individuals that make up this crab pyramid. The giant

986
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: spider crab is found around the waters of South Australia,

987
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: They're a big red crab with sexy long legs and

988
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: a nice big carapast. Uh. They're total width including legs

989
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: is fifteen inches or forty cimeters, so that's a little

990
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: over a foot. But their carapists, their main body is

991
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: only about six inches or sixteen centimeters, so you know

992
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: they're honky chunky. They're chunky, big honker crab like crab.

993
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: Long crab is huge, middable. It's not the biggest crab.

994
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: That's the Japanese spider crab, who is quite thick. Anyways, Um,

995
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: these ones aren't the biggest crab, but they are quite big. Uh.

996
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: And of course sometimes they form giant underwater pyramids. Uh.

997
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: Do you want to see a video of a crab pyramid?

998
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: You do? Absolutely absolutely, Let me pull it up. You

999
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: don't have to listen to the whatever audio is on it.

1000
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: I think it's just water noises. Actually, oh well, I

1001
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: need the water no noises to understand where I am.

1002
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: To fully perceive a crab, you need to feel underwater, yeah,

1003
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: because otherwise I'm like, what is this blue stuff they're

1004
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: swimming in? I don't understand it's a crab. Okay, so

1005
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: this is we're talking about mosh pits earlier. This is

1006
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: a mosh pit. This is a mosh pit. Yeah, that's why.

1007
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: Earlier you're like, well, I don't think crabs go to raves,

1008
00:58:56,040 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, just you. But yeah, what

1009
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: is the goal of this? What is the goal of

1010
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: the raid? Yeah, that's a good question and one other

1011
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: people have asked, because when when you see a big

1012
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: pile of crabs, I guess you can't just like leave

1013
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: well enough alone. Although check out that these crab faces. Again,

1014
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I will answer your question, but I do

1015
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: the crab faces because the rostrum looks like a pointy nose,

1016
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: and it looks like they're kind of frowning, and so

1017
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: it looks like they just are really grumpily not washing,

1018
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: which I do love. Yeah, they look like weird zombies

1019
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: who are just under some weird sort of crab spell. Yeah. Yeah,

1020
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: So the reason is scrillics. I mean, it's got a

1021
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: good beat. And when you've dropped the beat, like you

1022
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: you're and you're in a group and everyone's reacting to

1023
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: the beacon dropped, is you know, I mean, it's electric. Yeah, yeah,

1024
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: it's a transcendent. So the reason they make the crab tower.

1025
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: They're not trying to form a crab ultron. What's is

1026
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: ultron made out of a lot of robots? I guess

1027
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't really know what. I don't know robot lore. Unfortunately,

1028
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: that's a that's a blind spot I have. Yeah, they're

1029
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: trying to form like a mega crab out of like

1030
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: many crabs. Well, the best guess that biologists have is

1031
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: that it is protect them all as they simultaneously get

1032
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: naked a k. A. When a crab gets naked, that

1033
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: is called malting. Wow, So they're all like creating like

1034
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: this big dressing room for each other. Exactly. When crabs

1035
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: and other arthropods who have exoskeletons grow, they're hard. Carapists

1036
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 1: can't grow with them. The armor of it, the fact

1037
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: it's so tough has a downside, which is it's not stretchy.

1038
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: So as they get bigger, the carapists can't get bigger either,

1039
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: so they have to molt. They have to break out

1040
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: of their old shell, revealing a fresh new shell. But

1041
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: like I said, when the shell is developing and growing

1042
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: with them, it actually has to start out being soft.

1043
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: Otherwise obviously you can't you can't expand it. You can't grow,

1044
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: so under that hard shell grows a soft new shell,

1045
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: and once they break out of their old shell, that

1046
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: new shell starts out soft and slowly hardens over time.

1047
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: For these crabs, it takes about an hour for the

1048
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: shell to reach maximum hardness, and during that hour they

1049
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: are extremely vulnerable to predation because they are soft, juicy

1050
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: little treats. Yeah that sounds pretty yummy, sounds like yeah, yeah,

1051
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: it's just like you know, melt in your mouth crab. Uh.

1052
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: So they are easy pickens for predators when they're naked.

1053
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: So their solution is pyramid of crabs. More crabs, the

1054
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: better you know, it makes it more intimidating, much more pinchy,

1055
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:51,439
Speaker 1: like pinches per square inch increases quite a bit. Uh.

1056
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: And even if a predator decides to snack on one

1057
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: of them's statistics is on their side, like you're just water, like,

1058
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: it probably won't be me, right end of like fighting

1059
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: to be in the middle, Like I can't totally tell,

1060
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Like you don't want to be an outside crab. Right, Yeah,

1061
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: that's a really good question. I haven't seen any research

1062
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: on that whether that's true. I think it's relatively hard

1063
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: to actually study these because they only last about two hours,

1064
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: and they only happen during this molting season. But I

1065
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 1: think that's a really smart observation because I would bet

1066
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: that's not only what they're trying to do, but that's

1067
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: the reason that they form that crab pile is this

1068
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: instinct to hide under one another. So like, if you

1069
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: have a bunch of crabs all trying to hide under

1070
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: one another, they'll all congregate in a big pile being

1071
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: on top of each other, so everybody just piles on.

1072
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: It's very interesting because like who decides who's like, okay, guys,

1073
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: time to start the crab pyramid. Let's go right right.

1074
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: It's well, I mean it's the crab with the clipboard obviously. Yeah,

1075
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: it's the crab stage manager. Yeah right, okay, okay, quiet quiet,

1076
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: I still hear whispering. I still here, r braces places everybody,

1077
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: crab pit. It's where I put the tape down. So

1078
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 1: some observers who have watched these crab pyramids say they

1079
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: have even seen crabs like take pieces of sponge sea

1080
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: sponge to try to like cover their nakedness. Like, oh,

1081
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: they're shy too, Yeah, they're so shy. I mean all

1082
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: of the crabs we've talked about are just a little shy,

1083
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: little shy babies. Um or these aren't big shy babies

1084
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: over babies, big big honk and shy babies secure and

1085
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: I think we all relate to that. It is a

1086
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: little burlesque though, like the crab just with a couple

1087
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: of things of like sea sponge, just trying to cover

1088
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: their nakedness, like like they're like, you see my ankles.

1089
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: You shan't see my little rostrum, will you know? No,

1090
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: my astar, my rostrum is not for your eyes from mine.

1091
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: H I saw you trying to take a peek of

1092
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: my gifts. No no, don't you never see it? You

1093
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: never see it? No, no, no, the secret. I'm a

1094
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: little coquettish. Uh yeah. So these, like I said, the pyramids,

1095
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 1: are pretty pretty brief. I mean, you know, it's like

1096
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: it's like we talked about with these sand bubbler crabs.

1097
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: They create this art, it's performance art, and in their

1098
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: case like but then it only last a couple of

1099
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: hours because they live in the moment. God damn it,

1100
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: everything washes away. And that's the ocean. Like we have

1101
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: all these things on land that can stay for a while,

1102
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: but the ocean is like, no, time isn't real here,

1103
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: like you just this is going to happen in the

1104
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: moment and that's gonna be gone. Yeah, Time makes fools

1105
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: of us all, even crabs. It's true. It's true. We

1106
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: can't we can't defeat time. We can't defeat the time God. Yeah,

1107
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: And that's ultimately what this podcast is a about. Why

1108
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: how we cannot kill the time God. And I keep

1109
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: trying to It's just not happening. Boy. If I tried,

1110
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 1: Boy do I keep trying to kill the time God?

1111
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: And every time it's like back to the drawing board.

1112
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 1: Couldn't kill time today. Tried a big catapult, didn't work.

1113
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: Tried a bunch of poison, tried a bunch of mine tricks, no,

1114
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: not calling for any of it. Tried a big mouse

1115
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: trap with some watches his bait. That didn't work, right,

1116
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: I got a really big businessman mouse though. That's why

1117
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 1: I could see potential there. I could see potential for

1118
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: like a sort of business thing where we cheat him

1119
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: out of all of his money and then with time

1120
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: is money and he just time is money. So if

1121
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: we got rid of money, we would get rid of time. Okay,

1122
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: so now we just have to kill capitalism. I mean,

1123
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: this is what I've been time, this is what I

1124
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: have been saying. Yeah, yeah, we got it, we cracked it. Well.

1125
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 1: I like to answer listener emails occasionally on the show,

1126
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: and I got one, uh, and I wanted to dress

1127
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: it and I wanted to read it to you, because well,

1128
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: it's not about crabs um which, guys. I went into

1129
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: my email inbox for listener questions and I searched for

1130
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Crab and I got a couple, but I had already

1131
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: answered those, and I haven't gotten new crab emails, and

1132
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to do about it.

1133
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: I just don't. I mean, it's not that I'm angry.

1134
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,439
Speaker 1: I think it's that I'm disappointed, you know what I mean,

1135
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: you would think that that the people would care more. Yeah,

1136
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, I get it, like crabs

1137
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: aren't Crabs aren't the popular girl at school, you know,

1138
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: but it's like shy, but someone's got to say about

1139
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: the shy girls out there. They can surprise you, you know.

1140
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: It's like the shyest girl all in high school. Now

1141
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: now she's like on Instagram, like because she took off

1142
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: her ponytail right exactly, just ripped it right off her skull,

1143
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: ripped it right off. Yeah, she doesn't need haircut. This

1144
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: bloody chunk of scalp coming off with it, and all

1145
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: the boys in the room we're like, whoa, who is

1146
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: she part? She just ripped part of her scalp off?

1147
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking who she is dat her? I'm

1148
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: wondering what's going on? Well, he should we call medical professional? Wow,

1149
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: I've never noticed you before, but now that you're well,

1150
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: you win, I noticed you. Well. This email is about ferrets,

1151
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: and it starts Dear Katie Golden. I've been a fan

1152
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: since near the beginning of your podcast. I enjoy everything

1153
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: about your podcast, from how the information is presented to

1154
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: the humor that you and your guests have. Well, thank

1155
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: you so much. One thing that I'm surprised that you

1156
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: haven't had an episode covering is ferrets. I'm not just

1157
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: suggesting this because I am biased for having multiple ferrets.

1158
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Well we'll see about that, although that is part of it,

1159
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: won't you admit it? Uh? Ferrets have been instrumental to

1160
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: so many aspects of human culture and scientific developments. The

1161
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Yearly flu vaccine is tested using laboratory ferrets, and most

1162
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 1: importantly right now, ferrets were used in the development of

1163
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen vaccines. They have saved so many lives

1164
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: at the cost of their own. You know, that's a

1165
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: that's a really good point. Like when when we have

1166
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: our vaccines, like if we could spare a moment to

1167
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: think about the animals that we've used in testing to

1168
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 1: be able to stay alive, it's uh, you know, like,

1169
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: thank you ferrets, fret. I don't think they volunteered. That's

1170
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: the awkward thing. I don't think they volunteered to be

1171
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: medical heroes. But again, it couldn't hurt to thank them. Yeah, yeah,

1172
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: that's oh man, oh man, we needs I'm sorry ferrets

1173
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 1: were really sorry ferrets. Sorry ferrets. Uh. Which makes me

1174
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: even more mad when people are like, oh, I don't

1175
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: want to get the vaccine, like you know, it's a

1176
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: it's scary, or like I don't know, it'll make me

1177
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: a robot. It's like, dude, the ferrets did not test

1178
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 1: the vaccine for you to be so coy about the vaccine,

1179
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, for you to think that you know

1180
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: more about the vacccene you think you know more about

1181
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: vaccines than ferrets. Nice try, buddy, nice trying. Well, some

1182
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 1: people know just as much about ferrets because they think

1183
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: there's five g in them and that they're gonna make

1184
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: you not pregnant. Yeah, I mean a ferret is long,

1185
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 1: so they could fit a hole in antenna in there.

1186
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no, no, no, let's let's move on. Uh

1187
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 1: well the Yeah, the ferrets are GPS tracks. Ferrets are GPS. Yeah, no,

1188
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 1: I've long suspected. Uh no, everyone, get a vaccine. God,

1189
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: dang it, get your vaccine. Do it. I just said it.

1190
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: Just bite the bullet. Let's just do it. Let's be

1191
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: done with all this. I got all my vaccines, and

1192
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 1: I feel great, and in fact, I feel stronger than

1193
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 1: ever because I got all of the vaccines. Yeah, everyone,

1194
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: advisor Johnson and Johnson. Yeah to the UK. Got astrid zedeka. Yeah. Yeah,

1195
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, I got the spotnick one from Russia. That's

1196
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 1: pretty good. Uh, just a I had. I told them

1197
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: to like mix it all up in one cocktail and

1198
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: one big syringe and get that in me. So you know,

1199
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: I just got absolutely blasted for a day. Yeah. I

1200
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: couldn't couldn't leave my bed. Yeah, but no, in all seriousness,

1201
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 1: if you're hesitant, don't be. The vaccine is very safe

1202
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: and uh much much better than getting covid. Uh So

1203
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 1: get one. I know you. Probably everyone who listens to

1204
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: in a podcast about animal biology probably is very interested

1205
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: in the vaccine. Uh if you can get it? Um

1206
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:56,719
Speaker 1: all right? Uh so, Vanessa continues to write. During this pandemic,

1207
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:58,600
Speaker 1: I have worried more about the health and safety of

1208
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: my ferrets than myself. They are susceptible to many human viruses,

1209
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 1: but have been useful in finding treatments and vaccines. In

1210
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: a historical context, my favorite bit of ferret knowledge is

1211
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: that Elizabeth the First had ferrets and loved them so

1212
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 1: much that she had them in portraits of herself. Leonardo

1213
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: da Vinci's painting Lady with Ermine is also thought to

1214
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: be a white ferret and not a proper ermine. Scandal.

1215
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that I mean that must have the

1216
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 1: people the right like, that's not an er mine, that's

1217
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: not a proper mine. That's a white ferret. Get it out,

1218
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: Get it out of my office. If they did. Indeed,

1219
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: Elizabeth the First, famous for her Royal Offices office, so

1220
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:55,600
Speaker 1: many computers, printers, and when she was annoyed with a courtesan,

1221
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: she would order them out of her office. I do

1222
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: remember that from history. Yeah, it was nice when they

1223
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: stopped doing beheadings and they started to saying, get out

1224
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: of my office. Right, what is this invention? Well, your highness,

1225
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: it's an office. So I was thinking, instead of killing people,

1226
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 1: you could simply order them out of it. I see

1227
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 1: what an innovation. I love that more of a power play. Yes,

1228
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 1: I can give them a phone handshake. Where the renaissance

1229
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 1: really is a rebirth. Vanessa continues to write that she

1230
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: is passionate about ferrets. They are affectionate, playful, social, and misunderstood,

1231
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: and she writes, I would love to hear your thoughts

1232
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: and jokes about these ridiculous little creatures that want nothing

1233
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: more than to play, hide things, and to be friends

1234
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:44,759
Speaker 1: with everyone. I've included some photos of my ferrets, sincerely, Vanessa. Indeed,

1235
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 1: she has included photos of her ferrets, Kylie. I shared

1236
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: them with she has. Indeed, I see them. They're just

1237
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 1: they're like in a little ferret pile, kind of like

1238
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: our crab here amid over there. It kind of reminds

1239
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: me of like sometimes if you like hold, um, hold

1240
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of pina pasta, which I do commonly. Just

1241
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 1: hold the pasta and like the pasta is kind of

1242
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 1: slipping out through your fingers, you know, and like one

1243
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 1: pasta is trying to get away from you, and it's

1244
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: really hard to hold them all. That's how I imagine

1245
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 1: the pile of ferrets would feel in your feel like

1246
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 1: you try and scoop up these parrot ferrets and they

1247
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: just sort of like slip through their your fingers. They

1248
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: look like little little like ferret tail key chains. Is

1249
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: that a real thing? Uh? Maybe? Yeah? I feel like

1250
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm thinking of. No, No, I

1251
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: think you're right, Like there's all sorts of weird things

1252
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: that we've done where it's like, because I remember there

1253
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,759
Speaker 1: were the rabbit's foot key chains, and there was also

1254
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: like some little tail. Oh, I know what I'm thinking of.

1255
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: It's something completely different. It's like those cat toys that

1256
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 1: are like felt worms. They Oh thank god, I thought,

1257
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 1: I thought, like very visceral. And I'm like, yeah, I

1258
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: definitely don't have one of those. I wanted, though. You're

1259
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, I got some taxidermy ferret tales. Don't

1260
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 1: worry about it. Don't taxidor what if I came out

1261
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: as like a big taxidermist, you just like pop onto

1262
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 1: record this and it was just like moose antlers all

1263
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 1: around me. I mean, I don't hate taxidermy when it's

1264
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: roadkill because it's like, hey, you know what, They're not

1265
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,679
Speaker 1: using those bodies anymore and you didn't kill them for it,

1266
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: so if you want to do that. In fact, when

1267
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: I first moved to l A, I was considering moving

1268
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: in with a roommate and then I found out that

1269
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: she was a taxidermist, and I thought that was interesting.

1270
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: She's like, I only taxidermy roadkill are already dead animals.

1271
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, that's fascinating. She's like yeah, And I

1272
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: was like super into maybe being roommates with her. But

1273
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: then it turned out she does all the taxidermy in

1274
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: the apartment. Yeah, which huff I mean at that point, yeah, studio,

1275
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: she's got to get a studio, yeah, because she is like, you,

1276
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: you'll need to be comfortable with road kill sometimes on

1277
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:02,520
Speaker 1: the table and or in the fridge, and like, uh,

1278
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, this is really a ME problem and not

1279
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 1: a U problem. But I don't know if I want

1280
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,600
Speaker 1: road kill in the fridge. And that's probably my own biases,

1281
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: you know, right right. I wonder if she ever got

1282
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: anyone to fill that Craigslist listing, because that's a tough sell.

1283
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:21,680
Speaker 1: I will say she did. H. I continued having the

1284
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: phone call with her long after I knew I wasn't

1285
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 1: going to rent, because I just needed to. I needed

1286
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 1: to hear more of her. I asked her if she

1287
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 1: ever like taxidermy pets, and she's like, oh, no, no,

1288
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: that that's too strange. I think just I would just

1289
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 1: do like an ear, oh, an ear or tail. H yeah,

1290
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: And it's like yeah, yeah, of course, I mean yeah,

1291
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 1: just a near er tail so that And she's like, yeah,

1292
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: so I could like have it in my pocket and

1293
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 1: just like pet it. Sometimes it's like, you know what,

1294
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: I feel, that's worse. That feels worse it you know what, whatever,

1295
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 1: get whatever, whatever, whatever passed, as long as you don't

1296
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: kill anything to get right. Yeah, love live. Yeah. Some people,

1297
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, look at different strokes for different folks. Some

1298
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: people like to stroke a dog ear. Uh. Some people

1299
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,679
Speaker 1: like to play volleyball, Some people like to paint. Some

1300
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 1: people like to hold a little dead dog ear in

1301
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 1: their pockets. Yeah, yeah, I can't. I can't judge because

1302
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm bad at painting, but maybe i'd be better at

1303
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: having dead dog. Yeah, you never know. I'm not good

1304
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: at things, right, right, Sometimes it's it's not what you want,

1305
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: it's what's mind to judge. And taxidermy can be a

1306
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 1: really cool art. Uh, Like it's I know that often

1307
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 1: like taxidermy, think about like the kind of like bad

1308
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: taxidermy where it's like someone took a squirrel and put

1309
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: deer antlers on it and googly eyes. But if you

1310
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: look at like some of the professional taxidermy where they're

1311
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 1: actually recreating scenes of nature for like museums and stuff,

1312
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: it's mind blowing. It's completely mind blowing. Wow. Wait, how

1313
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: did we start talking about taxidermy? I don't. I invent

1314
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 1: did something in my mind called a ferret key chain, right, right,

1315
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 1: and then we started talking about taxidermy. Um, But originally

1316
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about ferrets because these ferrets are just look

1317
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: like little buttered noodles that would fall right out of

1318
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: your arms and pile is so cute. Because my brain

1319
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 1: can't really calculate how many ferrets there are, right, I

1320
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: can't where but I really can't tell I don't know

1321
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: where one ends in one begins, right, And I don't

1322
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 1: know too much about ferret biology. I don't think they

1323
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: can have two heads, right, Like, it's not like they

1324
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 1: start out with my head. Yeah, I think one of

1325
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:41,720
Speaker 1: the ends. But certainly there couldn't be two butts. That

1326
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: would be quite a ferret though, right, just a tube

1327
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 1: with two butts. But I don't two but ferret. It's

1328
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: like the opposite of a cat dog, where you just

1329
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: get you just get the tails. You don't get in

1330
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: the cat dog extended universe. There's got to be a

1331
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: just like dog butt attached to a cat but right, Yeah,

1332
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't get to talk. And they wouldn't make the

1333
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 1: movie about them because people a recrimination because these people

1334
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: are are small minded. Yeah, people need to open their

1335
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: minds to things like two butts on a tube or

1336
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: dog ears dead dog ears. Um, anyways, I think uh,

1337
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: I think that's a good note to end on. Uh,

1347
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 1: speed run this whole are inevitable evolution into becoming crabs,

1349
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:04,679
Speaker 1: global warming, world's gonna be an ocean. If we could

1350
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:07,559
Speaker 1: start now, I could see us becoming crabs in like

1351
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 1: a couple of thousand years. Yeah, we just it's not

1352
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: it won't be that hard. We just need to get

1353
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 1: our arms and legs just like a little bit like harder,

1354
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: a little bit a bonier, and then just developed two

1355
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: more limbs and that should take too long. Yeah, yeah,

1356
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:27,080

1357
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 1: I think, uh, and we'll get there. We'll get there.

1358
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's step by step by step by

1359
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 1: step and uh, and then we suck on some sand

1360
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 1: and then we're there. Then we're already there, you know there,

1361
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 1: and then we're there and then we were enjoining the crabs.

1362
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: That came before us. Yeah, exactly, maybe they'll welcome us.

1363
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,839
